PLANNING DIRECTOR DECISION ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT REVIEW PROCESS 1 #02-006 The City of Everett Planning Director grants approval of a request by Dan Johnston at 2215 Main Street to construct an attached garage with an accessory dwelling unit with the following conditions: 1. The applicant must comply with all 13 criteria of Section 39.020.D of the City's Zoning Code (as summarized below), as well as all other provisions of the City's Zoning Code and all other applicable City codes. 2. No direct access shall be permitted from the accessory dwelling unit into the storage/office area constructed over the garage. This area shall not be used as additional living space for the accessory dwelling unit. Any use of this space for such purposes would be a violation of criteria # 4 of this approval. Accessory dwelling units are permitted subject to approval by the Planning Director using Review Process I. The Planning Director, using Review Process I, is authorized to "...approve, disapprove, or approve with conditions the use proposed by the applicant." (Subsection 41.100.13) If no appeal is filed in response to the Planning Director's determination, the decision will be considered final. If an appeal of the decision is filed, such an appeal must be submitted to the City's Hearing Examiner. Subsection 39.020.D of the Zoning Code establishes 13 criteria by which such proposals must be evaluated. These are as follows: 1. An accessory dwelling unit may be established in an existing single family dwelling unit, on lots containing at least 5,000 square feet, by one or a combination of the following: a. alteration of the interior space of the dwelling, b. conversion of an attic, basement, attached garage, or other previously uninhabited portion of a dwelling or attached accessory structure; or c. addition of attached living area onto the existing dwelling. The subject lot is approximately 7,200 square feet in area. The applicant will construct a new 32' 6" x 42' garage with an accessory dwelling unit above. The garage will be attached with a new 2-story utility room/ office addition. 2. Each single family dwelling on a legal building lot shall not have more than one accessory dwelling unit. No accessory dwelling may be located in any detached accessory structure. The proposed action is for one accessory dwelling unit on site. The proposed garage and accessory dwelling unit will be attached to the existing single family residence on site. 3. One of the dwelling units shall be occupied by one or more owners of the property as the owner's permanent and principal residence. The owner of the property has submitted a certificate of ownership which states that one of the units will be owner occupied. This certificate will need to be renewed with the City each year to insure that one unit remains owner occupied.
