Avenue N.E.,Marysville,Washington;and
WHEREAS,said owners filed a petition with the City Clerk

and
WHEREAS,the City Planning Commission held public hearings

con t r ac t;and
WHEREAS,in response to appeals from aggrieved parties the
City Council held a public hearing on said rezone on March 23,1981,

Now,Therefore
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE,WASIIINGTON
HEREBY ENTERS THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS OF FACT:
1.The Marysville 1978 Comprehensive Plan designates the
property in the mUltiple-family medium-density classification.
However,this is a long-range plan which must be interpreted in the
context of current land uses in the surrounding neighborhood,current
housing needs,and current traffic hazards and street improvements.
2.Liberty Street (47th Street N.E.)is currently used as
a by-pass for State Street,and has become a north-south arterial.
The traffic on Liberty Street has not yet exceeded the physical capacity
of said street,but has reached the limit where it is no longer
compatible with the abutting residential uses.
3,The proposed project would add thirty-one dwelling
units to this neighborhood,and the traffic generated by those units
would have a significant adverse impact upon Liberty Street and the
abutting uses as they are presently developed.
4.A concentration of mUltiple-family rental units within
a single neighborhood contributes to adverse impacts on the human
environment relating to noise and crime.The neighborhood in question
has already reached'a point where these impacts are unacceptable to
the remaining single-family residences.Mi t i.ga t i on measures must be
proposed before any additional multiple-family dwelling units areapprovedinthisarea.

S.Liberty Street,between the subject property and Grove
Street,constitutes a serious hazard because of its lack of sidewalks,
poor drainage,and parking problems created by the apartment units
located at the intersection of said streets.These hazards must be
mitigated before any additional development is approved.
6.the additional elementary school children which would
live in the proposed project would create an unacceptable impact upon
Liberty School which cannot be met under current financial circumstances.
7.There has been no demonstrated need for additional
multiple-family housing in this area of the City of Marysville.
8.The granting of the requested rezone and the development
of the subject project would be detrimental to the public health,
safety and welfare,and contrary to the,be.s t interests of the current
residents of the affected nei.ghbor hocd . ]~.
