A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE DENYING A
REZONE TO 'CERTAIN PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS
WHEREAS,Agrarian Corporation,Inc.is the owner of
certain real property located at 8124 ~47th Avenue N.E.,Marysville,
Washington,the legal description of the same being as follows:
Lot 7 B &M Garden Tracts,and Lot 8 B &M Garden
Tracts,except the North 80'of the East 151',per
plat recorded in Volume 10 of Plats,page 44,
records of Snohomish County Auditor;Section 21
Twp.30 North Range 5 E.W.M.,Snohomish County,
Washington
WHEREAS,said owner filed a petition with the City Clerk
seeking a rezone of said property from the single family residential
classification to the low density multiple family classification;
and
WHEREAS,the City Council held public hearings on said
rezone,the final of said hearings being on March 22,1982,and
adopted the following Findings of Fact in opposition to said rezone:
1.On July 12,1979,at a time when the subject property
was in the unincorporated area of Snohomish County,the owner
obtained a rezone to the low density multiple family residential
zoning classification and signed a rezone agreement limiting de-
velopment on the property to fourteen dwelling units.
2.The subject property was annexed into the City of
Marysville on January 14,1980.
3.The Comprehensive Plan for the subject property,as
adopted by the City,classifies it in the low density multiple
family (PRO)classification.This designates the highest and best
use for the subject property which should be realized sometime
during the ten year life of the Comprehensive Plan.The exact
timing of such realization will depend upon the development of
the surrounding neighborhood,mitigation of adverse environmental
impacts,and the changing needs of the community.
4.There was strong opposition from surrounding neighbors
to the rezoning of the subject property into a multiple-density
classification.This was mainly based upon a perception of inadequate
roads and pedestrian walkways,danger to public safety,a lack of
need for additional multiple family housing in the area,and a
high water table which results in storm drainage problems.
,
-'
!~.Th~City Coun~il'finds that the cumulative effect
of all development in the area has resulted in inadequate roads
serving the subject property.An'adverse environmental impact
would be caused by development of the subject property with multiple
family residential dwellings.This would cause a danger to public
health,safety 'and welfare,<as the same relate to automotive and
pedestrian traffic.
,.
6.,'The City Council'finds that there has been no demon-
strated need for additional multiple family housing in the subject
neighborhood.Said neighborhood already has a disproportionate
share of this type of housing.
7.The City Council finds that the developer's proposal
to assign all growth management fees to the construction of a
storm sewer system which is basically designed for the benefit of
the subject property,and not on a regional basis,would be incon-
sistent wi th the intent of Section 3.80.060 of the Marysville
Municipal Code,and would not be in the public interest.The storm
sewers proposed are a necessary prerequisite to the development of
the subject property,but should be paid for with funds which are
not already designated for regional improvements.
Based upon the foregoing,it is RESOLVED by the City
Council of the City of Marysville,Washington as follows:
The above-referenced application of Agrarian Corporation,
Inc.to rezone the subject property to the low density mUltiple
family classification is DENIED.
