Figure 3: Group Health Cooperative Zoning <br /> Department of Homeland Security <br /> Analysis: This site was developed in 2003 as an office building for US Citizenship and <br /> Immigration Services. At that time the parcel was split between MIC /L, CLI and LDR <br /> zoning, though the majority of the building was in MIC /L. The project was granted a <br /> conditional use permit for the stand alone office use. <br /> In 2004 the property owner applied for a comprehensive plan amendment to change the <br /> LDR portion of the site to CLI. Instead the Council opted to zone the entire site MIC /L <br /> after making a development agreement with the owner that provided additional <br /> screening for the residential properties to the east. <br /> During the MIC stakeholder interview process a representative of the Sabey Corporation <br /> suggested that the zoning for this site be changed to Commercial/ Light Industrial (CLI). <br /> The setback, landscape and height standards are similar in the two zones, see above. <br /> Because this is a fully developed site with high value buildings a change in <br /> Zoning/ Comprehensive Plan designation is unlikely to result in changes to the use or <br /> structures in the near to medium term. <br /> The other property owners with MIC /L zoning between S 124 and S 126 Street have <br /> been notified that a change to the zoning in this area is being discussed. We have not <br /> received any indication of their preferences. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> No significant changes have occurred on site since the Council and Planning Commission <br /> reviewed the zoning in 2004. Therefore Staff recommends that no change be made. <br /> W: \Long Range Projects \MIC Study\ Issues &Opps \MIC- Logo \Issues &OppsReport.doc Page 30 <br />
