6500 EVERGREEN WAY SPECIAL INTEREST AUTOBODY 2019-01-31

14. The expanded auto repair business would continue to generate noise and odor. There are no openings from the work area onto the west side of 6500 Evergreen Way facing the residential properties along Fleming Street. The addition at 6408 Evergreen Way has doors facing west towards an apartment building; this is acceptable under applicable regulations because the doors are more than 150 feet from the residential use and the apartment building is not located in a residential zone. Going forward, all outdoor work would be required to comply with the City's noise ordinance and all Puget Sound Clean Air Agency's regulations. (Exhibits 1 and 2) 15. The expanded use would continue to be inconsistent with the 4.4, Mixed Use Commercial— Multiple Family designation in which it is located. No change to the nature of the existing business is proposed. (Exhibit 1; ingalsbe Testimony) 16. All development of the expanded use would be required to comply with PSCAA, Building, Public Works, and Fire Code requirements. (Exhibit 1) 17. Regarding the City's traffic impact fees to mitigate the 4.2 new PM peak hour trips projected by Public Works, the Applicant offered the following. The portion of operations that would expand into the existing buildings at 6500 Evergreen Way would involve scheduled vehicles only through a contract with a specific insurance provider and would be limited to seven vehicles per day per the arrangements with that provider. The Applicant noted that daily traffic to the previous commercial uses in those buildings comprised two semi-trucks, three to five contractors multiple times in and out, and 20 to 30 retail customers per day. He posited that the proposal would reduce net traffic to the site over the previous condition and therefore requested that the traffic impact fees be waived. (Kedah! Testimony) Planning Staff noted that whether or not the traffic impacts fees must be paid would be finally determined through the building permit process. (Ingalsbe Testimony) 18. Regarding landscaping required in recommended condition one, the Applicant offered no objection but requested information about timing and requested permission to install shrubs in place of trees. (Muller Testimony) Planning Staff noted that the building permits, which should include a planting plan, would have a 180 day time frame for completion and that should allow for fall rather than summer planting. Staff indicated that shrubs could be used along Evergreen Way. (lngalsbe Testimony) 19. Regarding recommended condition two, the Applicant noted that there is no difficulty in complying with landscaping requirements to the south, but to the north there is an access to the single-family residence/officers to the north that must be maintained due to topography. Because of this, the Applicant requested to move the required landscaping from the lot line and place it closer to the ye? )
