1. INTRODUCTION
• A. APPLICATION
1. Applicant: Patrick Shields, NW Procurement Institute, Inc.
2. Site Location: Area between Main Street and Dayton Street, west of Durbin and east
of 6th Ave S
3. Request: Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment to "Mixed Use Commercial"
4. Review Process: Comprehensive Plan Amendment; Planning Board makes
recommendation to the City Council for final action.
B. RECOMMENDATION
Based on Statements of Fact, Conclusions, and Attachments in this report, we recommend
approval of the applicant's request.
11. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
A. SITE DESCRIPTION
1. Site Characteristics:
a. Size and Shape: Approx. 1.4 acres.
b. Existing Zoning: RM -1.5 (Multiple Residential)
iC. Existing Land Use: Developed multi family and office uses.
2. Neighboring Characteristics:
a. North: Anderson Center public use with single family further north.
b. South: American Legion hall and commercial uses south to 6th Avenue.
C. East: Single family east of Dayton Street.
d. West: Mixture of multi family, single family, and.small office uses.
B. HISTORY
1. No recent changes in zoning have occurred.
C. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (ECDC)
1. a. Fact: The Comprehenisve Plan Map currently designates the property as Multi -
Family, High Density." The property also lies within the "Downtown /Waterfront
Activity Center."
The following policies are contained in the Comprehensive Plan's discussion of
the Downtown/Waterfront Activity Center:
A.4. Encourage a more active and vital setting for new retail, office,
entertainment and associated businesses supported by nearby residents,
• downtown commercial activity and visitors from throughout the region.
Staff Report: Item 4 page 2
A.5. Support a mix of uses downtown without encroaching into single family
neighborhoods.
b. Fact: The immediate vicinity is dominated by a mixture of uses, including
single family, multi family, office, retail, and public uses.
C. Conclusion: The requested change is to a mixed use classification which is
consistent with the Downtown /Waterfront Activity Center component of the
Comprehensive Plan.
D. EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE (ECDC) COMPLIANCE
1. a. Fact: Zoning classifications are intended to be applied consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan. The existing RM -1.5 (Multiple Residential) zoning
classification is consistent with the current Comprehensive Plan designation.
b. Fact: If the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment is approved, the existing
multi family zoning classification would still be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan. However, amending the Comprehensive Plan Map would
enable the applicant to apply for a change in zoning to BC, Community Business
since the BC zone is consistent with a mixed use map designation (see
Comprehensive Plan, page 11):
The BC zone has the following specific purposes in addition to the general
purposes for business and commercial zones listed in Chapter 16.40 ECDC.
A. To reserve areas for those retail stores, offices, service establishments
and amusement establishments which offer goods and services to the entire
community;
• A To ensure compact, convenient development patterns by allowing uses
that are operated chiefly within buildings;
C. To allow for multiple dwelling units) as a secondary use to business
uses.
b. Conclusion: The proposed map amendment would enable the property to be
developed consistent with the existing zoning classification as we]1 as with a BC
zoning classification if the applicant wishes to pursue a rezone.

Re: Review of Zoning and Comprehensive Plan
Dear Mr. Chave:
This letter follows a recent discussion that I had with a member of your staff, and his
suggestion that I write to you. I am an Edmonds resident and property owner, and also
own a business located here. I have just purchased a small building at 630 Main Street in
Edmonds. This property is in an MR High Density zone and is located on the west side
of the library. A conditional use permit for this property was issued in 1991 to allow the
operation of a business office, and I have enclosed a copy of that permit with this letter.
Your staff member said that you would be reviewing the. comprehensive plan for this
• area in the next few weeks, and the purpose of this letter is to request a change that
would allow us to open a retail (gift type) shop in a portion of this building. We intend
to move our small consulting business into approximately 1/2 of this building, and would
like to open a small retail shop in the other -about 400 square feet. In the current
conditional use permit the city states that the site has 3 parking spaces which would be
more than sufficient for both uses.
It is our opinion that this site is in the commercial zone of the city (for all practical
purposes) anyway. There is a bridal and a clothing store no more than 150 feet to the
west, the library and Andersen Center are immediately to the East, a good size office
building is to the south, and of course, the area is filled with condominiums. Our little
gift store would have limited visual and traffic impact, and maximize the usage of this
property.
I will call you in a few days to discuss this letter, and appreciate your efforts in this
matter
Sin er ly,
