James Haugen (Applicant) is the owner of the property at 3231 Broadway Avenue, Everett, Washington (subject property). The property is zoned Broadway Mixed Use (BMU). The Applicant also owns the lot that abuts the subject property to the north (3225 McDougall Avenue). (exhibit 1, staff report, page 1; testimony of Mr. Ingalsbe) 2. The surrounding properties to the north, south and west are zoned BMU. The property to the east is zoned C-2ES. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 1) 3. The building on the subject property has an extensive history of use. For a significant number of years a photo processing shop was located on-site. Recently, the structure has been converted into retail, light manufacturing and warehouse uses. In addition, there are four dwelling units on the top floor of the building on-site. (testimony of Mr. Ingalsbe; exhibit 1, staff report, page 1) 4. The south boundary line of the subject property is 33`d Street, and the eastern boundary is the alley between Broadway Avenue and McDougall Avenue. The proposed upgrade of the subject property includes development of the lot that abuts the subject property to the north. The abutting lot would be merged with the subject property and be developed for parking purposes. The Applicant is the owner of both lots. (testimony of Mr. Ingalsbe; testimony of Mr. Haugen; exhibit 2, site plan, page 1) 5. The Applicant and a prospective buyer are in negotiations for the conveyance of the property. They have made initial plans for the use of the site, namely a warehouse. The residents of the site would be retained. The parties have been negotiating terms of the sale, which include the abutting lot. (testimony of Mr. Haugen; testimony of Mr. Packer) 6. The prospective buyer plans to develop a furniture staging business on-site. This site would warehouse the staging furniture. No clients or customers would come to the property, and little, if any, vehicular traffic would be generated to the site. Parking would not be an issue.
