8. Map #22-2 from EMC Title 19, is the area that is the subject of this <br />interim regulation, as depicted in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and <br />incorporated herein by reference; and <br />9. On an interim basis it is necessary to prohibit in certain locations the <br />establishment of the uses specified herein. Outside of the areas designated <br />on Map 422-2, said uses will continue to be permitted as provided by the <br />Zoning Code; and <br />10. Notwithstanding additional regulations imposed herein, there still <br />remain adequate locations outside of the areas within Map #22-2 for the <br />uses specified herein to locate within the City without the more rigorous <br />review process; and <br />11. RCW 35.63.200 and RCW 36.70A.390 and the City of Everett <br />Charter, Article I1I, authorize the Council to enact interim regulations on <br />land use matters to preserve the status quo while new plans or <br />development standards are considered and prepared; and <br />12. The Council wishes to establish necessary and appropriate regulations <br />on an interim basis as a stopgap measure enabling the City to consider <br />whether additional land use regulations are necessary and appropriate, and <br />adopt such regulations as necessary; and <br />13. The adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the threshold <br />determination and environmental impact statement requirements of the <br />State Environmental Policy Act, RCW 43.21 C, pursuant to WAC 197-11- <br />880 and Everett Municipal Code, Section 20.04.030; and <br />WHEREAS, the City Council does conclude: <br />1. The City does have the authority to establish interim regulations; and <br />2. The City must adopt interim regulations concerning the establishing <br />and processing of applications for food banks, plasma donation centers, <br />tattoo parlors, body piercing, video game arcades, social service agencies, <br />parking lots, places of assembly, single room occupancy residences, teen <br />clubs, community centers, and other potentially incompatible uses as <br />determined by the Planning Director, in order to act as a stop -gap <br />measure: (a) to provide the City an opportunity to study the issues <br />concerning the siting of these uses and prepare appropriate revisions to the <br />City's regulations; and (b) to avoid applicants possibly establishing vested <br />rights contrary to and inconsistent with any revisions the City may make <br />to its regulatory scheme as a result of the City's study of this matter; and <br />2 <br />
