Subsection 34.070.A of the City of Everett Land Use Code gives the Planning Director,using Review Process II,the authority to allow a reduction in the required number of off-street parking spaces of not more than 10% if supported by the City Traffic Engineer. To support the parking modification,the City Traffic Engineer used the following factors: type of use proposed and traffic generation, hours of operation, frequency of employee and customer trips; the proximity to and availability of public transportation facilities and the likelihood of customers or employees to use public transportation; and other information such as a parking study or traffic survey. A parking study by Northshore Traffic Consultants dated May 5,2017 that was reviewed and found acceptable by the Planning and Traffic Engineering Departments found the following: 1) The zoning code requires 100 off-street parking spaces for the proposed clinic and office uses. 2) The existing parking lot provided 72 off-street parking spaces. 3) Approximately 80 parking spaces would meet actual parking demand based on the analysis of two other Community Health Centers in Snohomish County. 4) Community Health Center's health care program assists patients that typically have a lower income economic status. These patients rely on public transportation and other shared ride modes. The site is within two blocks of a major bus station.
