A RESOLUTION TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS RECOMMENDING
APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF SAID CITY TO
ESTABLISH AN OPEN SPACE OR PLAYFIELD ZONE AT THE EDMONDS ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL (FILE #ZO-3-76)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Edmonds,
pursuant to proper notice and publication, held a public hearing on a
proposed amendment to the Official Zoning Map of said city to designate
an appropriate land use on the Edmonds Elementary School site, bounded
by Main Street, 8th Avenue South, Dayton Street and Durbin Street; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined from testimony
presented by Edmonds School District #15 that said site had been desig-
nated surplus and would be put up for sale pending approval by the
voters; and
WHEREAS, the City of Edmonds, the neighboring property
owners and the School Board have an interest in determining the future
use of said property before the property is sold; and
WHEREAS, the playlot east of the existing school buildings,
and the tennis courts on the west end of the property are used extensively
by many Edmonds residents; and
WHEREAS, homeowners in the neighborhood are opposed to any
multiple family zoning on this site; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the use of
the playfield, tennis courts and building should be preserved for public
use and should therefore be given an "open space" or "playfield" zone; now,
therefore
BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends and
forwards to the City Council that the proposed designation of "open space"
or "play field" on the Edmonds Elementary School si;e be approved.
