4 <br /> single family detached dwellings. See Land Use Policies 2.1.1 and 2.1.2; Housing <br /> Element Policies 4.1.1,4.1.2. <br /> 2. The Everett Comprehensive Plan protects existing single family neighborhoods <br /> from substantial changes. See Housing Policy H4.2.1,Land Use Policy 2.1.9, <br /> Land Use Background and Land Use Concept. <br /> 3. In order to amend the Everett Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map,the City must <br /> give consideration to promoting a more desirable land use pattern and not find <br /> that approval is a grant of special privilege. The Planning Commission finds that <br /> properties to the east,west,north and south all have different land use <br /> designations. The Planning Commission concludes that this application would <br /> create an island of land use inconsistent with the neighborhood,thereby not <br /> promoting a more desirable land use pattern. <br /> 4. The Planning Commission concludes that there are no circumstances related to <br /> the property and area that have changed sufficiently to justify a change in the <br /> designation. <br /> 5. The Planning Commission concludes that there were no erroneous assumptions in <br /> designating this property as a 1.2 Land Use. <br /> 6. The Zoning Code requires that a map amendment be consistent with the <br /> Comprehensive Plan. Since the Planning Commission concludes that the <br /> application is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, an amendment of the <br /> Zoning Map is not warranted. <br /> WHEREAS,the Planning Commission of the City of Everett recommended that the City <br /> Council deny this application to amend the comprehensive plan land use designation <br /> from 1.2 to 1.3 and to amend the zoning map from R-1 (single-family detached low- <br /> density residential)to R-1(A) (single-family attached,low-density residential). <br /> NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY'THE EVERETT CITY COUNCIL <br /> THAT: <br /> The City of Everett concurs with the Planning Commission's recommendation,findings <br /> of fact and conclusions of law, and hereby denies this application to amend the <br /> comprehensive plan land use designation from 1.2 to 1.3 and to amend the zoning map <br /> from R-1 (single-family detached low-density residential)to R-1(A) (single-family <br /> attached,low-density residential). <br /> Council Member Introducing Resolution <br /> 33 <br /> 4 <br />
