PROJECT DESCRIPTION Lot combination to combine three lots held under one ownership
A. INTRODUCTION:
The applicant is proposing to consolidate the boundary lines among three lots in order to form one
lot as shown on the lot combination map (Attachment 1). The Land Use Application is included as
th
Attachment 2. The subject area is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of 220 Street
th
Southwest and 76 Avenue West. The site is zoned Multiple Family Residential (RM-2.4). See the
Zoning and Vicinity Map for reference (Attachment 3).
B. ANALYSIS OF DESIGN:
1. Number of Lots Involved:
3 adjacent lots
2. Lot Area:
a. Minimum lot area required for RM-2.4 zone: 2,400 square feet per dwelling unit
b. Minimum lot width required for RM-2.4 zone: None
c. Number of corner lots: Parcel A is currently considered a corner lot; therefore the lot
combination will result in a corner lot.
3. Topographical Consideration:
There appears to be no particular topographical
consideration driving this lot combination.
4. Flag Lot Determination:
None of the lots are considered flag lots.
5. Zoning Ordinance:
The proposal meets the intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
a. Lot combinations shall be approved unless they will result in a non-conforming lot. This
lot combination results in a lot that meets the lot width and lot area requirements, and is
therefore a legal conforming lot.
b. Lot combinations shall be approved unless they will not be in compliance with the goals
and objectives of the city’s Comprehensive Plan. The director is directed to determine
whether or not the lots, as combined, negatively impact compliance with the city’s urban
density requirements as established pursuant to the State Growth Management Act,
Comprehensive Plan and the Snohomish County planning policies. The proposed lot
combination is in compliance with the goals and objectives of the city’s Comprehensive
Plan, and the lot combination will not negatively impact compliance with the city’s urban
density requirements.
6. Comprehensive Plan:
The proposal is in compliance with the goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan.
