The SEPA review process clock has started. It calls for public notification and comment on how the proposed 70 units of housing will affect the neighborhood. Catholic Housing Services filed a Land Use Application last Friday December 30th. The proposed location for the 70-unit supportive housing facility at 6107 Berkshire Drive.
This facility will provide permanent housing and on-site supportive services for the chronically homeless. The proposed building will be 4 stories tall and have 21 off-street parking spaces. In conjunction with the SPU application, a 3 lot short subdivision application has been submitted by the City of Everett to divide this proposed facility from the City’s reservoir and Fire Department’s training facility.

Once the city releases the final SEPA determination people opposed to the ruling can appeal to the hearing examiner. After a public hearing conducted by the hearing examiner, opponents could file an appeal of that to the Snohomich County Superior Court. There has been a lot of opposition to the project by neighbors in the area.
