Waterfront Place Central is consistent with and would implement the goals and <br />policies of the Everett Comprehensive Plan. <br />b. Waterfront Place Central is compatible with Design Standards & Guidelines set forth <br />in this Agreement. The policies of the Comprehensive Plan pertaining to <br />compatibility of land uses, shoreline redevelopment, and urban design along the <br />central harborfront were considered in the design of the project. <br />C. The proposed Waterfront Place Central rezone bears a substantial relation to public <br />health, safety or welfare; and promotes the best long-term interests of the Everett <br />community. <br />d. The new North Marina, the reconfiguration of the existing marina, boat repair <br />facilities, new buildings and roadways, public walkways and urban plazas, will be <br />compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods and harborfront areas. <br />e. Waterfront Place Central, as developed over time, will meet or exceed the <br />performance -based intent of the City's development standards in order to provide an <br />exceptional civic and redeveloped shoreline environment. <br />f. The elements of Waterfront Place Central will respond to and balance the needs of <br />Everett residents and visitors, recreational boat owners, marine service businesses, the <br />Port of Everett, the City of Everett, and other public agencies. <br />g. The City and Port SEPA Responsible Officials determined that Waterfront Place <br />Central is an appropriate subject of Phased Environmental Review. <br />h. The City of Everett assumed lead agency status for the Phase 1 SEPA and the 2014 <br />amended SEPA review related to the amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan <br />and Zoning, and the City assumed lead agency status for the Shoreline Master Plan <br />limited amendment necessary for the Waterfront Place Central. <br />3 1 P a g e <br />
