uses within an existing industrial complex with waiver of the following:

and 18.61.066.050
2. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase traffic congestion
within the off-street parking areas or lots provided for such use because the property has adequate
access points and on-site circulation.
~ 3. That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not impede vehicle ingress to or egress
from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use.
4. That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use.
5. That the waiver, under the conditions imposed and based on the conclusions contained

competition for parking spaces upon the public streets and adjacent private property in the immediate
vicinity of the proposed use because parking is not permitted on Douglass Road and adjacent properties
