BEFORE THE EDMONDS
CITY COUNCIL
REZONE APPLICATIONS OF TAYLOR,
MISCHKE & WATSON AND ELDER,
JOHNSON AND LICHTENHAGEN
PROCEDURAL SUMMARY
APPLICATION:
R-2-88 AND
R-3-88
On May 25, 1988, the Planning Board of the City of Edmonds
conducted a public hearing regarding the contract rezone
application R-2-88 of Robert Elder, Joseph Johnson and Richard
Lichtenhagen to rezone property located at 21229 - 21239 Pioneer
Way from RS -8 (Single Family Residential) to RM -3 (Multi -Family
Residential); and
On said date, the Planning Board also conducted a hearing
regarding a similar rezone request R-3-88 that Dealther Taylor,
David Mischke and Donald Watson to rezone property located at
21106 - 21118 Shell Valley Road from RS -8 (Single Family
Residential) to RM -3 (Multi -family Residential). Both tracts
were currently burdened by P.R.D. covenants. Said rezones are
both intended to be subject to concomitant zoning agreements,
copies of which are attached as Exhibits A and B and incorporated
by this reference as fully as if herein set forth. The Findings
of Fact and Conclusions of the Planning Board respectively are
attached hereto as Exhibits C and D.
On July S, 1988, the City Council held seperate public
hearing on each application. Based upon the evidence introduced
at such hearings, the report of its Planning Board and its
record, the City Council hereby approves said Concomitant
WSS50839X -1-
Rezoning Agreements and the preposed rezones as herein provided.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The City Council hereby adopts as its Findings of Fact,
the Findings of Facts of the Edmonds Planning Board, dated May
11, 1988 with respect to R-2-88 and with respect to R-3-88.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The City Council hereby respectively adopts as its
Conclusions, the Conclusions of its Planning Board in the
Findings of Fact and Conclusions dated May 11, 1988 with respect
to applications No. R-2-88 and R-3-88.
DECISION
In approving said Concomitant Rezoning Agreements and in
adopting on ordinance thereby rezoning such property, the- City
Council hereby states its intent that no precedent with regard to
the rezoning of an approved P.R.D. is established. The Council
finds that, as is typically the case with real estate, each
parcel is unique. The Council believes and finds that the rezone
requests conform to the requirements to the Community Development
Code and are practically necessitated in these instances. No
special privilege will be granted to the property owners and
existing circumstances constitute a change in the neighborhood
supporting said rezones. Council further states its intent that
nothing herein should be deemed to relieve the owners of
properties within these areas of the prior existing obligations
of the Planned Residential Development approval. The Planning
`dSS50839X -2
Board is directed to consider, in any future subdivision/planned
residential development review process, the necessity for an
interlocking maintenance agreement in drder to ensure
continuation of the existing PRD maintenance agreement
obligations for greenbelts, open public areas, and the other
obligations of the Planned Residential Development approvals._
DONE this 13th day of October , 1988.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
CITY OF EDMONDS REZONE
CITY OF EDMONDS FILE: #R-2-88
After notification in conformance with law, the Planning Board of the
City of Edmonds conducted a public hearing on May 11, 1988 on the
contract rezone application of Robert Elder, Joseph Johnston and
Richard Lichtenhagen. The applicants have requested approval of a
proposal to establish RM -3 (Multiple Family) zoning for prop.erty
located at 21229 through 21239 Pioneer Way. Based upon the evidence
presented thereat, the Planning Board makes the following findings of
fact:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The rezone area is located within the Planned Residential
Development (PRD) of Shell Park Division No. 2. Specifically, the
rezone covers Lot 10 of said PRD. The site contains 20,873 square
feet of lot area. There are three duplex townhouse buildings
located on the property. The subject property is currently zoned
RS-8/PRD.
2. The townhouses were permitted uses under the original PRD. The
original PRD of Shell Park allowed 64 dwellings units on 44 lots.
There are four lots in the development that have multiple family
structures.
3. A determination of nonsignificance has been issued by the City on
the rezone request.
4. The subject property is designated by the Comprehensive Plan Map
as Low Density Residential, as is the surrounding area.
5. In 1977, the condominium plat of La Terra was filed covering the
subject property. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the proper
paperwork was never completed. No homeowners association or
maintenance agreements were set up.
5. The three duplex townhouses on the property are each held under
separate ownership. None of the dwelling units are owner occupied.
6. Due to current financial practices, the Applicant submitted that
there is no way for the owners to refinance the dwelling units.
7. No physical changes will result from the proposed rezone action.
In conjunction with the contract rezone, the Applicants intend to
file applications for a PRD and three lot subdivision.
8. No additional dwelling units will result from the rezone action.
The original number of dwelling units in the Shell Park Div. No. 2
PRD will remain the same.
Planning Board', -,commendation age 2
#R-2-88
9. Only one witness testified in opposition to the request. His
concerns centered upon notification to the Homeowners Association
and possible violations of the covenants by the building owners.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The current owners of the dwelling units are faced with financial
problems. Refinancing for the dwelling units is difficult given
the current banking practices for condominium financing. This is
due to the requirement for owner occupancy ratios.
2. Opposition to the rezone has been expressed by one resident.
3. No significant adverse environmental impact will result from the
contract rezone request. No additional dwelling units will be
constructed and the overall density of the Shell Park PRD will
remain the same. This is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
designation of Low Density Residential.
4. The public benefit, which would result from the rezone request, is
that it is likely that the units will be more economically
viable.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL
The Planning Board of the City of Edmonds recommends to the City
Council that Rezone Application R-2-88 be approved, subject to the
recording of the concomitant agreement and approval of a new Planned
Residential Development.
This recommendation was passed by the Planning Board, three to two,
with Don Lewis and Janet Phillips opposing the motion.
