J — J N�tar Public in and for the State f Washingon, residing at �� 12/23/80 I RESOLUTION NO. 664 FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION OF EDMONDS PLANNING COMMISSION ON PROPOSED REZONE FROM OPEN SPACE TO RS -6 After notice had been duly posted and published pursuant to Section 12.16.170 of the Edmonds City Code, the Edmonds Planning Commission held a public hearing on December 18, 1980, to consider Planning Division File No. R-5-80, a requested rezone of a parcel of property located between Durbin Drive and Eighth Avenue and between Main Street and Dayton Street in the City of Edmonds. After all evidence was presented upon motion duly made and seconded, the Planning Commission voted to approve R-5-80 in part. From the evidence presented to the Planning Commission, a majority of the Planning Commission hereby makes the following Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Recom- mendations. FINDINGS OF FACT I The subject property is the old Edmonds Elementary School site, now known as the Frances E. Anderson Cultural and Leisure Center and is currently owned by the City of Ed- monds. The property is located between Main and Dayton Streets and between Eighth Avenue and Durbin Drive. II The property presently consists of a playfield area located on approximately the east half of the property. To the west of the playfield is the cultural and leisure center buildings and to the west of the buildings are tennis courts and parking lots. The subject property is currently zoned WC OS. The Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Public Facilities. Zoning on adjacent surrounding properties to the south and east is RS -6. The properties located to the north, across Main Street, are a mixture of multiple family, high- density and RS -6. To the west is RMH zoning. III The City is seeking to rezone the property to allow construction of a regional library. The library is to be constructed to the west of the existing buildings. No con- struction is contemplated for the playfield area. IV The present open space zoning was established in 1976 during the time the City was contemplating acquiring the property from the school district. The open space zoning was intended to be a temporary zoning classification until future study could establish the permanent zoning., V The City's responsible official has issued a declara- tion of non -significance. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS I All procedural requirements imposed by the Edmonds City Code and State Law have been fully complied with. II No environmental impact statement need be prepared. III The portion of the property lying east of the existing buildings and currently used as a playfield should remain in open space classification since the City does not intend any future development on the property and since the open space classification would allow the current use of the property as a playfield. The remainder of the subject property should be rezoned to RS -6, which zoning classification permits public libraries with a conditional use permit. This contemplated use of the property is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and will not adversely affect surrounding uses. IV The proposed zoning classification will be in the best interest of the public health, safety and general welfare. V The Planning Commission recommends to the City Coun- cil that the portion of the subject property lying to the east of the existing buildings and currently being utilized as a playfield should remain in the open space zoning classification. The Planning Commission recommends that the remainder of the property be rezoned from open space to RS -6 - 5�� �Itj- 1980. DATED this day of I lz� I A:12 CH IRMAN, PLANNING COMMISSION
