C_O_I I.C. LU_SIC).IN S ....
1. A chanflo from an Induslrlal Plan designation to a residential designation, aa
proposed, will bettor recognize tho partially-developed roaldonllnl character of
tho area and will not create any Inconslslonclos between Plan elements, map,
or Implementing techniques.
FINDINGS -- 3
2. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment will retain the "Industrial'
deslgnallon on tho City's parcel, which Is Intended for uso In conjunction with
the Public Works Complex, and on several lots along Oyster Bay Avenue, at
the owners' request, for possible future light-Industrial development.
3. Light Industrial development, as allowed In tho 'Industrial Park (IP)' zone,
would bo compatible with the Increasing traffic on Oyster Bay Avenue, and
would provide a buffer between that street and the multi.family West Park
development to tho west and tho single-family neighborhood to the east.
4. The proposed residential Plan designation and SF-2 zoning Is consistent with
previous County zoning and with the current density of development In the
area.
5. Tho change from an Industrial designation to a residential designation on a
portion of lho area will help provide stability and take away any throat of future
industrial redevelopment of the area.
6. Four'old subdivision lots fronting on Bremerton Boulevard will be of
Insignificant value to the Public Works Complex, but could be residentially
developed and should be Included In the SF-2 zone for future surplusslng.
7. This Plan/Zoning review Is a necessary step In tho annexation process to
make Plan adjustments and to apply official City zoning to replace the
provisional zoning.
8. The proposed amendments are In the best Interests of the community by
providing the location for an Improved public works complex; of the
neighborhood by stabilizing a sound residential area; and of local economlc
Interests by providing a new location for light Industrial development.
9. Essential public facilities and services for exlstlng uses are available.
Improvements to lhoso facilities and tho oxlonslon of now utilities may be
required of future now development,
