EVERETT <br />WASHINGTON <br />CITY OF EVERETT <br />Planning <br />Ord. Page: 11 <br />Ord. Section: 15 <br />Code Section: <br />EMC 19.08.200 <br />Original: <br />b. The managing agency shall appoint a member to serve as a point of contact for the <br />Everett police department. At least one member must be on duty at all times. <br />Revised: <br />b. The managing agency shall identify a point of contact for the Everett police department <br />that is available at all times. <br />Why: <br />Unclear what a "member" is and what "on duty" means (existing code language but only <br />applicable to outdoor shelters now). If interpreted as requiring 24-hr on -site staffing, that <br />would be excessive in some cases. Revised to a more general requirement that a point of <br />contact be available at all times; further requirements would be addressed on case -by - <br />case basis through the management plan review process and potential conditions <br />associated with an administrative use permit. <br />Ord.

The emergency shelter shall be located within one-half mile of transit service. <br />Revised: <br />b. The facility shall be located within one-half mile of transit service. <br />Why: <br />Corrected applicability <br />Ord. Page: 11 <br />Ord.

Outdoor emergency shelter units shall meet all setbacks required by the International <br />Fire Code. <br />c. Outdoor emergency shelters shall be located a minimum of forty feet (40) from the <br />property line of abutting properties in commercial or industrial zones, unless the <br />planning director determines that there is sufficient vegetation, topographic variation, or <br />other site conditions that would justify a lesser setback. <br />Revised: <br />3. Setbacks. <br />a. Outdoor emergency shelters shall be located a minimum of forty feet from the <br />property line of abutting properties. A lesser setback may be approved if the planning <br />director determines there is sufficient vegetation, topographic variation, or other site <br />conditions that obscures the site from abutting properties. <br />b. Outdoor emergency shelter units shall meet all setbacks required by the International <br />Fire Code. <br />Why: <br />Subsections (a) and (c) were redundant; combined into (a). <br />Ord.
