Division report Section II. A, B, C and E are hereby adopted by

surround the site are currently used as an elementary school. Two
of the parcels are currently in use as part of the school and the
third is adjacent to the school site.

determine the size and scale of community facilities for education,
support approval of the rezone request;

8" (see Attachment 1).
B. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA)
1. a. Fact: The Edmonds School District is the lead agency for the conducting the
environmental review for this proposal. The District has not issued an
environmental determination at this time, however, an environmental
determination must be issued by the District prior to the City issuing a final
decision on the subject request.
C. EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE (ECDC) COMPLIANCE
1. a. Fact: The subject application is a non -project rezone from "RS -8" to "P" to
implement the City's adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
2. a. Facts:
(1) ECDC Section 20.40.010 provides that at a minimum, the following
factors shall be considered in reviewing an application for a rezone:
(a) Comprehensive Plan. Whether the proposal is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan; and,
(b) Zoning Ordinance. Whether the proposal is consistent with the
purposes of the Zoning Ordinance, and whether the proposal is
consistent with the purposes of the proposed zone district; and,
(c) Surrounding Area. The relationship of the proposed zoning change
to the existing land uses and zoning of surrounding or nearby
property; and,
(d) Changes. Whether there has been sufficient change in the character
of the immediate or surrounding area or in city policy to justify the
rezone: and,
(e) Suitability. Whether the property is economically and physically
suitable for the uses allowed under the existing zoning, and under
the proposed zoning. One factor could be the length of time the
property has remained undeveloped compared to the surrounding
area, and parcels elsewhere with the same zoning.
(f) Value. The relative gain to the public health, safety and welfare
compared to the potential increase or decrease in value to the
property owners.

b. Conclusions:
(1) The City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation was amended to
identify the subject area as "Public." Approval of the proposed rezone
would implement the adopted land use designation of the subject area
under the adopted Comprehensive Plan.
(2) The proposed amendment would provide the future development of the
subject area in a manner that is consistent with the existing use and
development as a public school facility.
(3) Rezone of the existing use of the 25,900 square foot area adjacent to 84th
Avenue West, which is currently part of the school site and developed
with a playground, would ensure the continued availability of land to meet
the needs of the School District to provide for adequate school sites and
facilities.
(4) The addition of the approximately .7 acre site addressed as 8315 216th
Street Southwest would be a logical expansion of the "P" zoning
designation to ensure land availability for the continued use of the school
site. Currently this parcel obtains access from 216th Street Southwest,
which is also the ingress/egress route to the school parking lot and bus
drop-off point. This currently results in a potential vehicle/school
pedestrian conflict. Addition this area would permit future site
development and reconfiguration which could eliminate this potential
hazard.
3. a. Fact: Chapter 20.100 establishes the procedures and criteria for review of all
rezones.
E. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (ECDC)
a. Fact: The subject property is in an area which is designated as "Public" or
"Single -Family" under the City's adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
b. Conclusion: The proposed rezone is consistent with the intent of the City's
adopted Comprehensive Plan land use designations for the area.

environmental checklist and SEPA determination within two weeks of this submittal. Within the

Rezone Criteria
At least the following factors will be considered in reviewing a proposed rezone:
1. Comprehensive Plan. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Chase Lake Elementary School and properties abutting the site are shown as Public Use on the
City of Edmonds' Comprehensive Plan. This would include the parcel currently under option
by the Edmonds School District (see attached information, Farmer Site) to be included with the
overall school site.
2. Zoning Ordinance. Whether the proposal is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning
Ordinance, and whether the proposal is consistent with the purposes of the proposed zone
district. A rezone to Public Use would allow the zoning to reflect the comprehensive plan
designation. There are portions of the school's play area and the Farmer Site that are currently
zoned RS -8. The rezone would be consistent with the purpose of the Public Use zone and
historic use of the site for a school use.
3. Surrounding Area. The relationship of the proposed zoning change to the existing land
uses and zoning of surrounding or nearby property. Chase Lake Elementary School has
existed on the site since 1965. Surrounding land uses are residential. Portions of the school site
are zoned public and residential.
4. Changes. Whether there has been sufficient change in the character of the immediate or
surrounding area or in city policy to justify the rezone. The proposed rezone would allow
the zoning to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation of Public Use. The rezone
would be consistent with the existing school and residential character of the area.
5. Suitability. Whether the property is economically and physically suitable for the uses
allowed under the existing zoning, and under the proposed zoning. One factor could be
the length of time the property has remained undeveloped compared to the surrounding
area, and parcels elsewhere with the same zoning. Chase Lake Elementary School has
existed on the site since 1965. This school site is included within the Edmonds School District
Capital Facilities Plan which has been adopted the City of Edmonds. The site would continue to
be part of the District's education facilities and used as an elementary school.
6. Value. The relative gain to the public health, safety and welfare compared to the potential
increase or decrease in value to the property owners. Chase Lake Elementary School has
and would continue to operate as an elementary school. As part of the District facilities, the
school would continue to contribute to the educational needs of the District student population
while providing an idea neighborhood school location. The surrounding residential uses have
not experienced a decrease in value due to the location of the school.
