Plan strategies to reduce parking demand.The City may not require increased <br /> off-street parking as a result of the parking assessments. <br /> (5) Interim surface parking areas may be provided by EHA for the purpose of <br /> overflow, residential uses, and non-residential uses. <br /> (6) Interim parking areas for construction use may be unpaved and without curbs <br /> and use gravel surfacing, all subject to approval by Everett Public Works. <br /> Interim sidewalks may be paved with asphalt. Interim walking paths may use <br /> gravel or woodchips. <br /> (7) At least 30 days before an interim use or feature with public access ends, EHA <br /> shall post signs conspicuously on the Property with notice of the end date. <br /> F. Activation of Commercial and Retail Spaces.Through a robust community input process <br /> that included representatives from the Delta Neighborhood, EHA incorporated <br /> retail/commercial space in the Project. It is EHA's goal to occupy these spaces with <br /> neighborhood scale businesses and organizations that provide synergistic opportunities <br /> with each other and contribute to the activation of public amenity space uses and <br /> increase long term neighborhood resiliency, including walkability. EHA agrees that it is a <br /> benefit to the residents,the surrounding neighborhood, and the Project to activate <br /> these spaces. In furtherance of these goals, EHA agrees to the following: <br /> (1) In each Project building with a retail or commercial space, EHA will sequence the <br /> building construction so that the building's retail/commercial space(s) are ready <br /> for leasing no later than six months after the building's residential spaces are <br /> ready for leasing. EHA may request extensions of that deadline,which the <br /> Planning Director will review and will not unreasonably deny. <br /> (2) EHA will use reasonable efforts to attract tenants for Project retail and <br /> commercial spaces, including without limitation using advertising and brokers as <br /> necessary,with a focus on attracting tenants related to food/beverage, retail, <br /> restaurant, cafe/coffee shop uses. <br /> (3) EHA will provide commercially reasonable rent and tenant improvement <br /> allowances and incentives for Project retail and commercial space that are at <br /> least as advantageous to tenants as those generally used in retail and <br /> commercial space of like kind and quality north of 41st Street in Everett. <br /> (4) If a Project retail or commercial space is vacant, EHA will maintain the space in <br /> good condition, including without limitation all exterior surfaces in good <br /> condition, no peeling paint, no rust,clean and free of dirt, moss,and algae. <br /> (5) If a Project retail or commercial space is vacant for more than six months, EHA <br /> will further maintain the attractiveness of the space, if requested by the City, by <br /> painting windows with visually appealing scenes depicting or suggesting <br /> business or cultural activities and will display art or provide other displays of <br /> cultural or educational value. EHA may propose alternative means to maintain <br /> the attractiveness of the space,which the Planning Director will review and will <br /> not unreasonably deny. <br /> 8 <br />
