A portion of the subject property is within the shoreline jurisdiction of the Snohomish River, a significant shoreline within the State of Washington.

The subject property's shoreline designations are Urban Multi-Use and Urban Conservancy. The regrading of materials for the eventual development of the site is a permitted use in these designated areas. Portions of the subject property for the instant project that are within the shoreline jurisdiction but are not within a wetland buffer are designated as Urban Multi-Use. A purpose of an Urban Multi-Use designated area is to accommodate a multiplicity of urban uses such as water-oriented public and commercial activities, recreational and residential uses, and public access. The purposes of the Urban Conservancy designated area are to provide for public access and protection and the enhancement of ecological resources. Portions of the instant project that are within the shoreline jurisdiction and within a wetland buffer are designated as Urban Conservancy. Landfill and grading activities are allowed in an Urban Conservancy designated area. (exhibit 1, page 3, staff report; exhibit 13, page 3, power point; Jimerson testimony) 6. Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) (ROW 43.21 C), the City of Everett was designated as the lead agency for the determination of environmental impacts resulting from the project.
