This item was placed on the 2022 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket. A Public Hearing was held on April 19, 2022, before the Planning Commission. There were no Public Comments regarding the rezone of the subject property. HISTORY: The subject parcel was declared surplus in 2017 and placed on the real estate market in 2018. The parcel received quite a bit of attention from potential purchasers who inquired about its potential for development for several months. It quickly became apparent that without any public utilities available onsite, that the parcel was not marketable for single family residential because of the cost of extending the water and sewer to service the parcel. Staff then evaluated the possibility of placing townhomes on the site which required an RHD zoning, we worked with a potential purchaser to create a townhome development, but the parcel would not yield enough townhome units to make the utility extensions monetarily feasible. The potential purchaser evaluated the parcel and determined that an 18-unit apartment would allow feasibility to extend the utilities to the site. The utility extensions to serve this parcel, would also provide for the ability of the city to extend water and sewer from the York parcel east along 180th St. to Smokey Point Blvd. Smokey Point Blvd. from 174th St. to 200th St. has been designated to be rezoned as a Mixed-Use corridor and is identified as such in both the City’s Official Zoning Map and its Mixed-Use Development Regulations. The neighborhood that the York parcel is located within has been identified to be redevelop-able in the near future because of its large parcel sizes. In 2019 a rezone was placed on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket Public/Semi-Public to Residential High Density, this rezone was ultimately denied by City Council. In 2020 a rezone was again placed on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket to rezone the property from Public/Semi-Public to Residential High Density, this rezone was also denied City Council. In 2020 the City completed zoning district changes on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket that changed the

York Rezone
Summary:
The York rezone is a city -initiated project requesting that a 0.56-acre lot in the Smokey
Point neighborhood be changed from Public/Semi -Public zoning to Residential
Moderate Capacity zoning. The Planning Commission held a Workshop on April 5,
2022, and an open Public Hearing on April 19, 2022, regarding the above subject and
transmits the following findings and recommendation to the City Council:
Findings:
1 In their December 18, 2017, meeting Council voted to surplus 0.56 acres
adjacent to York park known as “York House”, parcel Number 0472500000806
and directed staff to apply the proceeds to the Parks Capital Fund. The City’s
Parks and Recreation Commission had recommended approval of thi s action.
2 In October and December of 2018, multiple offers for the property were tendered,
however none of the offers culminated in a successful sale of the property.
3 It was the consistent opinion of the makers of these offers and other interested
parties that use of the property without a higher capacity zoning was not
financially feasible. It is clear that without a rezone, the property will not likely sell
in the near to mid-term.
4 This rezone request of the subject prope rty from a Public/Semi -Public Zone to a
Residential Moderate Capacity zone meets the requirements for inclusion on the
2022 Comprehensive Plan Docket per AMC 20.96.
5. Regulatory requirements related to this request involving public notice and
Department of Commerce notification have been met.
6. The proposed rezone supports multiple goals and policies contained in the land
use and housing elements of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan. Essentially it will
add to the City’s available housing types, it will address density and intensity
positioning within the Smokey Point neighborhood, and it will place more housing
near commercial and employment centers. In addition, the proposed rezone
locates higher density residential use near existing transit lines.

7. The proposed rezone contributes directly to the City’s ability to absorb State and
County mandated population growth in a manner consistent with the 2015
Comprehensive Plan.
8. This application is consistent with both the goals and policies of the 2015
Comprehensive Plan and is internally consisten t with the other 2022
comprehensive Plan update docket items.
9. The requested rezone will increase the likelihood of the sale of this parcel in the
near term, thus providing need ed funding to the City’s Parks program. This is
consistent with opinions expressed by the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Conclusion and Recommendatio n:
Based on the foregoing findings and testimony received at the hearing , the Planning
Commission herby recommends with four affirmative votes and one abstention that the
City Council approve the proposed rezone: PLN#913

Planning Commission STAFF REPORT & RECOMMENDATION
To: Planning Commission
From: Amy Rusko, Planning Manager
Date: April 13, 2022
Regarding: York Park Rezone PLN#913
A. INTRODUCTION The York Park Rezone is a City-initiated project that is an amendment to the City of Arlington Comprehensive Plan, submitted under the 2022 Comprehensive Plan Update Docket cycle.
B. GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: City of Arlington
Project Description: Rezone
Requested Action: Recommendation to City Council
C. DETAILED PROJECT INFORMATION York Park is owned by the City of Arlington and located on four parcels. The proposed rezone is for the parcel located furthest to the east, listed under tax parcel 00472500000806, and is approximately 0.56 acres in size. The remaining three lots will stay unchanged and be retained with existing park. The property is currently occupied by a single-family residence and garage/shop. The city has left the single-family residence vacant since the property was purchased in May of 2000. Minimal storage within the garage/shop has occurred over the last twenty years. The proposed rezone would take the property out of the Public/Semi-Public zoning designation and change the property to Residential Moderate Capacity. The Residential Moderate Capacity is the same zoning designation that is located to the east, south, and west of the park property and would simply extend the zoning to an additional lot.

City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item: NB #3 Attachment I COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 16, 2022 SUBJECT: Ordinance Approving Old Town Residential Design Standards ATTACHMENTS: Ordinance, Old Town Residential Design Standards, Planning Commission Findings of Fact DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN Community & Economic Development; Amy Rusko, Planning Manager 360-403-3550 EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: None BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A BUDGETED AMOUNT: N/A LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: This Ordinance adopts the Old Town Residential Design Standards for development within the Old Town Residential zoning district. The design standards were created in an effort to support Senate Bill 1923, by efficiently utilizing land to create more affordable housing units on existing lots, such as duplexes, tri-plexes, four-plexes, courtyard apartments, bungalow courts, townhomes, and cottages (known as “missing middle housing”). The use of strict design standards is
lots being sold for redevelopment. There is a mixture of early 1900’s to present, single family homes that represent the architectural style of their time. The architectural styles that we wish to utilize as a part of these design standards are Craftsman, Farmhouse, Craftsman Bungalow, American Foursquare, Folk Victorian, and Western Ranch. The Old Town Residential Design Standards were developed to ensure the architectural design and development patterns of future residential developments within the Old Town Residential zoning district. The design standards were presented at four Planning Commission Workshops and one Public Hearing. The Public Hearing was held before the

Old Town Residential Design Standards
Summary:
Over the past few years, the Council has made several changes in the Land Use Code
to allow for the addition of mid-density (“missing middle”) housing to most of our
residential zones. These changes were consistent with the population absorption
requirements of the Arlington 2015 C omprehensive Plan , Snohomish County Planning
Policies, and PSRC’s Vision 2040. The planning and academic literature dealing with
inclusion of mid-density housing in existing communities is clear that protection of older,
historically significant neighborhoods requires the pairing of new mid -density housing
with comprehensive design standards. HKP Architects, working under the direction of
staff has developed a draft of Old Town Residential Design Standards which addresses
the need to establish context for development in this treasured neighborhood of our
City.
Findings:
1. The proposed Old Town Residential Design Standards will provide for new
construction and remodels that are consistent in style with existing neighborhood
character.
2. Regulatory requirements for SEPA compliance, public notification and
Department of Commerce notification have been met.
3. Planning Commission has reviewed the draft as it progressed through its
development in multiple workshops and meetings over the past six months,
including the final draft in February of this year.
4. In addition to discussions at numerous public meetings, the Planning
Commission held an open record Public Hearing on April 19, 2022, for the
purpose of reviewing recommendations to Council regarding the proposed Old
Town Design Standards.
5. The proposed Design Standards, rather than prescribing a rigid set of rules,
provide for a mix of architectural styles that deliver design flexibility wi thin the
