(testimony of Mr. Jimerson; exhibit 11j, SEPA mitigation summary; exhibit 13, final EIS) 8. The project has been in development since 2005. Progress occurred but was later delayed as the result of the economic downturn in 2008. Since then, substantial improvements have been made on -site or are in the process of being made. They include site preparation with building demolition; soil remediation; bulkhead repair and replacement; site grading; construction of frontage improvements along West Marine View Drive; public access improvements to the shoreline, including installation of an esplanade along the south edge of the site, new public plaza and overwater floats and decks; new commercial development, including a boat storage facility and expansion and remodeling of buildings; and construction of roads, sidewalks and landscaping. Most of these construction activities were authorized by the previous issued shoreline permits and are consistent with the 2005 Development Agreement entered between the Port and the City. The requested shoreline permit is intended to cover most of the remaining development of the shoreline jurisdictions'. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 2; testimony of Mr. Jimerson) 9. The requested shoreline permit was submitted to implement appropriate updates to previously approved permits and to ensure consistency with the Waterfront Place Central Conceptual Site Plan that was approved by the Everett City Council on January 21, 2015.2 Since the signing of the revised Development Agreement of January 21, 2015, certain activities have occurred, including the replacement of the Seiner Wharf and bulkhead and a variety of other City authorizations for infrastructure improvements in the Fisherman's Harbor District. These activities, approved by the Everett Planning Director on June 24, 2016, are indicative of the City's intent to implement the updates from the Waterfront Place Central Conceptual Site Plan approval of January 21, 2015.

Two other residential/mixed-use buildings are located outside of the shoreline jurisdiction and not subject to review in the instant application.
