WHEREAS, after numerous public hearings and thorough deliberation the Planning Board recommended and the City Council adopted an amendment to the Edmonds Comprehensive Plan in the vicinity of the area commonly referred to as the Westgate Corridor in order to designate the area for small scale commercial development, and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered two properties located in the area subject to the Comprehensive Plan amendment, such properties identified in a site plan attached as Exhibit A and legally described in Exhibit B, and WHEREAS, the City Council after a public hearing has reviewed the recommendation of the Planning Board and has determined that the proposed amendment should be approved, based upon the following findings of fact and conclusions: 1. The rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which promotes small scale commercial development in the Westgate Corridor. 169244 -1- 2. The subject properties are more suitable to commercial development than residential. The properties are adjacent to State Route 104, an area of busy vehicular traffic and commercial activity which creates noise and other impacts incompatible with residential use. 3. Other commercial properties, both grandfathered and commercially zoned, are located in the Westgate Corridor adjacent to or near the subject sites. Commercial development of the subject properties would be compatible with these adjacent uses. The low scale commercial development permitted by the Planned Business Zone provides for compatibility of development on the subject properties with the residential development to the east. 4. Continuing change in the neighborhood has depressed the value of the subject sites as residential properties, such that the highest and best use for the subject sites is commercial development. 5. There are no significant environmental impacts associated with the rezone that cannot be appropriately mitigated. 6. Based upon the preceding findings, the City Council concludes that the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, that the relationship of the existing zoning with the property has significantly changed and justifies a rezone, that the property is economically and physically best suited for the uses permitted under the planned business zone and that the relative gain of the public health, safety and welfare from the rezone would be increased commensurate with the value of the property; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The official zoning map of the City of Edmonds as adopted by ECDC 17.00.010 is hereby amended to change the zoning classification for the properties described on the attached Exhibits A and B from RS -6 (single-family residential --6,000 sq. ft.) to Planned 169244 -2- Business (PB).
