Bays, estuaries, and marshes <br />h. Shorelines <br />i. Native and other vegetation species and communities that provide habitat value <br />j. Habitat complexes and corridors, rare and declining habitats such as wetlands, native oak <br />and habitats that support special -status or at -risk plant and wildlife species <br />k. Other natural resources as identified <br />UF-45 Incorporate Everett's environmental assets as important resources and components of the <br />City's infrastructure systems Utilize the multiple benefits of the City's ecosystem services, <br />11/15/2024 <br />URBAN FORM ELEMENT <br />PROPOSED GOALS/POLICIES/ACTIONS <br />Page 4 <br />
