PROPOSAL:
The applicant seeks to convert the existing six (6) unit residential building into a Seven (7) unit residential building by creating an apartment in the basement.

Permit was denied in accordance to the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance as follows:

Violations:
• The use is a non-conforming use, as multi-family uses are prohibited in the Dwelling District, pursuant to 4.A of the Zoning Ordinance. A special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals is required to alter or extend the           preexisting, nonconforming use, pursuant to Section 3.C of the Zoning Ordinance.
• The existing structure is nonconforming as to floor area ratio (“FAR”), as it the maximum permitted FAR is .50, and the existing building exceeds that amount. Any alteration or extension of a nonconforming structure also           requires a special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals, pursuant to Section 3.C of the Zoning Ordinance.
• The property is currently nonconforming as to parking, as twelve parking spaces would be required for the existing six units, pursuant to Section 17.A.2 of the Zoning Ordinance, and only five spaces are provided. The                proposed addition of a seventh dwelling unit will increase this nonconformity, which also requires a special permit under Section 3.C of the Zoning Ordinance. Alternatively, the applicant may choose to participate in the            transportation demand management program under Section 35 of the Zoning Ordinance.
