9. Waterfront Place Central will recognize the district functions of the Central Marina area (an <br />intensive mix of uses including the marina activities, boat sales and repair, restaurants, public <br />access and recreation and other compatible mixed -uses) through an almost completely new <br />combination of buildings, improvements, expanded marina facilities, public walkways and <br />open space that creates a new public gathering place, a recreational boating destination and a <br />residential and commercial mixed use district. <br />10. The City and Port agree that utilization of the planned development overlay ("PDO") process <br />continues to be the most appropriate for a large-scale project with a complex mixture of uses <br />and with the long-term effects that the development represents. <br />11. Consequently, the Port filed a PDO modification with the City in accordance with Chapter <br />19.41.160.D of the Everett Municipal Code ("EMU), for the purposes of modifying the PDO <br />adopted in 2005 by the City Council. On August 15, 2014, the Port provided a revised <br />complete 'application to the City. The purpose of a PDO zone is to allow for: <br />"...development that is innovative or otherwise beneficial to the community but <br />which does not strictly comply with the provisions of the zone in which the <br />property is located. This mechanism... is intended to promote high quality <br />developments which benefit the city more than would a development which <br />complies with the specific requirements of this title, while allowing greater <br />flexibility in the design of such developments." EMC 19.29.010 <br />12. Waterfront Place Central is proposed to be implemented through the PDO designation and <br />the issuance of the necessary permits for construction. <br />13. The Port has structured a process, under the PDO as revised for Waterfront Place Central, <br />wherein this Agreement and associated conceptual Site Plan (Exh� describe the <br />fundamental location of structures, features and themes to be used in the design of <br />improvements to be developed and incorporated into the Property. This Agreement outlines <br />the review procedure to be used as more detailed designs become available and requires that <br />such review take place before issuance of building permits for individual project elements. <br />14. This Agreement sets forth the mitigation measures, development standards and guidelines <br />through which the Port intends to develop the Property in an innovative manner, which will <br />be beneficial to the community. The intent is to provide for a high quality development, <br />which will benefit the City more than would a development strictly in accordance with the <br />underlying zoning standards. The public will be benefited by the establishment of <br />development standards together with the implementation of mitigation measures through the <br />planned development overlay process. <br />15. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to RCW 36.70B.170, .180 and .190. This <br />Agreement replaces and supersedes the 2005 Development Agreement in its entirety. The <br />intent of the parties is to describe in this Agreement the development standards and other <br />provisions that shall apply to, govern and vest the redevelopment and use of the development <br />2 1 P a g e <br />
