approved by the Everett City Council in 2015. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 1; exhibit 2, JARPA application; exhibit 3, project narrative, pages 1 through 3; testimony of Mr. Jimerson; testimony of Ms. Gurley; testimony of Mr. Anderson) 2. Previous shoreline permits for the site were issued by the City of Everett. These shoreline permits remain valid if work has been commenced on them. The City determined that the proposed shoreline permit would facilitate the completion of the City approved goals envisioned, but not yet completed, by previous shoreline permits that have been issued. The instant shoreline permit would provide revisions and updates for the remaining proposed shoreline improvements. (exhibit 3, project narrative, page 1; testimony of Mr. Anderson; testimony of Ms. Gurley) 3. The revised plan reflects changes consistent with the scope and intent of two shoreline permits that were approved by the City of Everett Hearing Examiner that are to expire in the near future. (exhibit 3, project narrative, page 1) The Hearing Examiner approved SMA #05-009 on January 5, 2006 and SMA #05- 013 on February 27, 2006. 4. The instant application provides a detailed description of portions of the proposed initial project, the Fisherman's Harbor. It provides a flexibility in mixed -use, multi - phased development and will be a cornerstone for the Port for attracting quality private development. The Port submitted that the level of detail and the proposed phasing for the remainder of the site within the shoreline jurisdiction is currently conceptual, but with an understanding that the future planning will be consistent with Section 4.2 of the Development Agreement between the City of Everett and the Port that was entered on January 7, 2015. (exhibit 3, project narrative, page 1; exhibit 11, development agreement; testimony of Mr. Jimerson) 5. Because of the close proximity to a significant shoreline within the State of Washington (Puget Sound) and because the proposed project exceeds the statutory threshold amount of $5,000.00, the proposed project is subject to a shoreline permit. (WAC 173-27-040(2); testimony of Mr. Jimerson) 6. Shoreline permits in the City of Everett are reviewed pursuant to the Washington State Shoreline Act (RCW 90.58) and the ordinances of the City of Everett, including the Everett Shoreline Master Program (SMP). 7. Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) (RCW 41.2l.C), the Port was designated as the lead agency for the environmental review of the impacts of the proposed project. On May 27, 2005, the Port issued a final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). No appeals were filed of that EIS. The Port remains the lead agency, and it has incorporated the final EIS issued in 2005 as the environmental review. No appeals of this determination have been made. 2
