Conditional Use Requested:
V
Requested is the approval for development of a regional library in a
proposed RS-6 zone as permitted by 12.13.030.2.A.iii and vi, under
Primary uses in RS Districts, Public and Institutional; of the 1978
Title 12 of Land Use Guidelines*.
*Also permitted in New Community Development Code pending Council
approval.
A
'14
Details of the proposed usage:
The firm of Arai/Jackson, acting on behalf of the City of Edmonds
.and the community therein, propose a 20,000± s.f. Edmonds/Sno-Isle
Regional Library located at the west half of the Frances E. Anderson
'Cultural and Leisure Center site. Functionally the library will
contain 88,100 volumes and periodicals, research and audio-visual
materials, concealed parking and two series of roof top public
plazas for community use. Additionally, a public auditorium and
meeting spaces will be provided.
Under section 12.16.080 of the Land Use Guidelines of 1978, Condi
tional Use Criteria:
A. The proposed use will not endanger public health, morals, and
general welfare if located at the Anderson Center site. En-
vironmental impacts accompanying the development are not be-
lieved to be significant, i.e. noise, dust, fumes, vibrations,
odors, etc., other than that associated with normal construc-
tion procedures. Refer to the Environmental Checklist submitted
under separate cover. ''I
p.
B. This project will meet all required conditions and specifications
set forth within an RS zone and chapter 12.14, with the excep-
tions of those listed below under the guideTines of 12.15.040
section D, "Criteria for Permitting Municipal Improvements to
Exceed Zoning Code Limitations".
1. Proposal requires an exception to the RS zoning height
limits by 5 feet; to a 30 foot height limitation.
REASONING
a) Providing a REGIONAL LIBRARY and required parking
per library board and City of Edmonds program
directives and code requirements influences pro-
Jr.
posed building height requirements in the following
manner:
1) Mass of programmed building and required parking
at this location creates an available space
conflict. Therefore, a portion of the structure
must be two stories.
2) Adequate ceiling heights for the proposed
library with auditorium over are necessarily
above the minimum allowable.
F"I"q
2*1
3) The given second story auditorium is located
to minimize impact. Elevating this given
structure to the desired additional minimal
height shall not greatly increase impact.
�w
4) The existing adjacent structure is approximately
241-01' higher than the proposed library and
auditorium.
2. Proposal requires off-street parking within the front
yard setbacks along Durbin Way and Main Street.
REASONING
a) Limited site area combined with given large scale
S'
library and associated parking requirements necessitate
maximum use of Durbin Way for parking.
b) Property to west of Frances Anderson Center and
proposed library presently has parking in a given
required yard.
Thi!, proposed municipal development, originating from both com
munity and governmental imput is necessary to provide adequate
facilities and services, and is necessary for the public welfare.
The proposed exceptions to existing zoning regulations are not
excessive and will not significantly impact the surrounding neigh-,
borhood, though essen tial to the completion of the project.
C. The proposed use will not be det rimental or injurious to the
surrounding property owners, but will in fact replace an existing
paved, barren and unsightly area with a high use, landscaped
municipal facility.
D. The placement of a libra.ry sanctioned by conditional use permit
within an RS zone accommodates the basic design parameters of
a high density residential neighborhood. The lack of signifi-
cant environmental impacts and historical precedents deem a
library acceptable to the surrounding community; that in fact
a library has received favorable acclaim in its developmental
process.
The actual design of the library will serve to:
1. Protect and enhance open space by the creation of public
roof top plazas for community use.
2. Provide the community with a learning/resource/activity
center which stimulates use by patrons and community or-
ganizations.
3. Provide for and stimulate interaction between the existing
community center, library, patrons and surrounding community
members as a whole.
