1. Increasing Housing Variety Everett Housing Action Plan 16 provide changes as necessary to reduce conflicts between current and future uses. This would focus on consistency with the current requirements under EMC 19.08.040, as well as considerations to set the height limit of a new structure at a given height of the bottom of the eave (at the building line) for a gable or hipped roof or the top of a flat roof (see these requirements in EMC 19.22.020). Note that site requirements should also incorporate streetscape improvements where possible to maintain and enhance the aesthetic quality of the neighborhood. This could include a requirement for street trees as a condition of the land use permit with approval by the City. 1.4: Update design guidelines for new development to ensure that new infill projects align with the neighborhood. The City should also update design standards and guidelines for new development in R-1 and R-2 zones to reduce conflicts between old and new uses. This would require updates to the 2019 Everett Design Guidelines, and would provide more guidance for these types of infill projects. Figure 4. Examples of Design Standards for Neighborhood Character.
