If a comprehensive plan amendment is required, approval must be prior to or concurrent with <br />the granting of approval on the rezone. <br />Staff comments: Based on an initial review, a rezone to mixed urban, or equivalent, with a four to six <br />floor height limit, is likely consistent with the above criteria in Chapter 15.03 EMC and the <br />comprehensive plan. <br />COMPATIBILITY WITH PROPOSED GROWTH ALTERNATIVES: <br />PLAN GEOGRAPHIES <br />ALT 1: CURRENT PLANS <br />EXTENDED <br />ALT 2: CONCENTRATED <br />GROWTH ALT 3: DISPERSED GROWTH <br />URBAN CORRIDORS <br />MID-RISE <br />HIGH-RISE HIGH-RISE <br />HIGH RISE <br />URBAN CORRIDOR FRAME SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED MID-RISE LOW-RISE <br />METRO EVERETT HIGH-RISE HIGH-RISE HIGH-RISE <br />METRO FRAME SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED MID-RISE LOW-RISE <br />EAST/WEST CONNECTORS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY <br />DETACHED LOW-RISE <br />NEIGHBORHOOD <br />RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY <br />DETACHED NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL <br />Staff Comments: The proposed amendment is in the Urban Corridor Frame geography and will be <br />considered for Low-Rise development (up to 4 floors) in Alternative 3 and Mid-Rise development in <br />Alternative 2. The low- and mid-rise geographies would not necessarily be zoned to allow for <br />nonresidential uses but could be pending further work on the periodic update process. <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION/MOTION: <br />Planning staff recommendation: determine that the applicant’s requested outcome is incorporated in <br />the 2044 comprehensive plan periodic update environmental review under Alternative 2. <br /> <br />Planning commission: determine that the applicant’s requested outcome is incorporated in the 2044 <br />comprehensive plan periodic update environmental review under Alternative 2 <br />NEXT STEPS <br />The applicant will be signed up to the project’s mailing list and is strongly encouraged to follow the <br />periodic update process at everettwa.gov/2044 and via other methods identified in the Everett 2044 <br />Public Participation Plan. <br />If the city council agrees with the planning commission recommendation, the requested outcome will be <br />studied in the environmental review process under Alternative 2. Once the Draft Environmental Impact <br />Statement is published, the applicant should be sure to participate in the decision-making process and <br />advocate for the requested outcome to the planning commission and the city council, especially <br />regarding allowance for nonresidential uses.
