THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OFcNARYSVILLE;~WASHINGTON,
HEREBY ENTERS THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS OF FACT:.
1.The 1978 Marysville Comprehensive Plan designates
the property in the medium-density multiple-"fami'lyclassifica-
tion.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 reali-
zation will depend upon development of the surrounding neighbor-
hood,mitigation of adverse environmental impacts,and the chang-
ing needs of the community.
2.There was strong opposition from the surrounding
neighbors to the rezoning of the subject property into a multiple-
density classification.This was mainly based upon a perception
of inadequate roads,danger to public safety,loss of privacy,
decrease in property values,and a lack of need for additional
housing in the area.
3.The traffic on 51st Avenue N.E.and 72nd Street
N.E.has not yet exceeded the physical capacity of said streets,
but,particularly at the intersection of said streets,has reached
the limit where it is no longer compatible with abutting residen-
tial uses.
4.The proposed project would add twenty-two (22)
dwelling units to this neighborhood,and the traffic generated
by those units would have a significant adverse impact upon 72nd
Street N.E.and 51st Avenue N.E.,and the abutting uses as they
are presently developed.
5.Neither 72nd Street N.E.nor 51st Avenue N.E.are
developed with sidewalks,nor do said streets have marked pedes-
trian crosswalks.The proposed project would have an adverse
impact upon pedestrian safety.
6.There has been no demonstrated need for additional
mUltiple-family housing in the subject neighborhood.
7.The applicant has not provided assurance to the
City or to the neighborhood that the exterior design of the pro-
posed dwelling units will be compatible with the character of
the surrounding single-family neighborhood.
Resolution - 2
8.A development of multiple-family dwellings with
the proposed density would be incompatible with the present
character and use of the surrounding properties,and would
result in increased public nuisances and the potential for a
decrease in property values.
9.Other reasonable uses for the subject property
are available.Such uses could avoid adverse impacts upon
public health,safety and welfare by modifying design and
density so as to be more compatible with the surrounding neigh-
borhood,and by proposing concurrent improvements to the traf-
fic and pedestrian infrastructure.
Based upon the foregoing,IT IS RESOLVED BY THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE,WASHINGTON,AS FOLLOWS:
The above-referenced application of Robert Gogert to
rezone the subject property to the medium-density multiple-
family classification is hereby DENIED without prejudice.The
applicant may reapply for a rezone at any time within one year
without the necessity of paying any portion of the application
fee which is not directly related to costs advanced by the City
for publication.
