MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Allan Giffen,Planning Director DATE: April 25, 2017 SUBJECT: Public Workshop—Code Amendment Opiate Substitution Treatment Facility Proposal: Amend Zoning Code to allow a second"opiate substitution treatment facility"in the City. Existing Regulations: The Zoning Code defines this use as follows: "Opiate substitution treatment facility"means an organization that administers or dispenses an approved drug as specified in 212 CFR Part 291 for treatment of detoxification of opiate substitution. The agency is: 1. Approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration; 2. Registered with the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration; 3. Registered with the State Board of Pharmacy; 4. Licensed by the county in which it operates; and 5. Certified as an opiate substitution treatment agency by the State Department of Social and Health Services. The Zoning Code currently allows this use in the C-1 (General Commercial)and E-1 (Evergreen Way)zones, subject to the following special regulation: Permitted only in the C-1 zone areas located south of SR-526, and in the two existing hospital facilities currently located in Everett or hospital facilities, as defined in this title,that may be established in the future. Only one opiate substitution treatment facility may be established in the city under this provision as a permitted use using Review Process I. In order for any subsequent opiate substitution treatment facility to be established in the city, the city must first adopt an essential public facilities siting ordinance implementing the interlocal agreement to implement common siting process for essential public facilities, include opiate substitution treatment facilities as essential public facilities under said ordinance, and must comply with said ordinance as well as all other applicable regulations.
