EVERETT 2044 <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 6/17/2025 <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES ELEMENT <br /> Page 177 <br />The CIP projects were developed to address existing system deficiencies, address regulatory <br />requirements, and provide adequate capacity for projected flows and loads. CIP projects to address <br />immediate needs are presented in a 10-year planning horizon (from 2024 to 2034) and future CIP <br />projects are included in the 20-year planning horizon (from 2034 to 2044). CIP projects for the 10-year <br />and 20-year planning horizons are presented. A planning level cost opinion of CIP project <br />implementation is provided. The financial analysis considers the CIP developed for the 2024 Plan and <br />existing City CIP projects. <br />Surface Water Management <br />Continued growth and increased density of development increases pressures on the surface waters and <br />the stormwater infrastructure. These pressures are mitigated by: <br />1. A rigorous development review process which ensures that new developments mitigate their <br />stormwater impacts. The city maintains codes and standards which ensure that new projects <br />minimize their impacts to surface waters. Ongoing inspection and maintenance programs ensure <br />stormwater facilities are performing as intended. Additional staff will be needed to handle the <br />inspection and maintenance of the increasing number of stormwater facilities. <br />2. Addressing identified flooding, water quality, and habitat deficiencies through a capital <br />improvement plan as described in the adopted Surface Water Comprehensive Plan. Over the 10- <br />year period, the Plan identified approximately $124 million of capital improvement needs. Funding <br />is provided through a combination of rates, grants, and bonds. Additional staff will be needed to <br />manage, design, and construct these projects. <br />3. Leveraging state and federal grants to provide stormwater improvements which address the impacts <br />of historic development in the city, including public roads. NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit <br />requirements include water quality retrofits of historically developed areas to improve receiving <br />water quality. Planning efforts continue to work through regional stormwater facilities and joint use <br />facilities, such as stormwater parks that make the best shared use of remaining land. <br />4. Educating the public on their impact to the stormwater system through programs like classroom <br />presentations, pet waste signs at parks, and source control inspections of businesses. Including a <br />robust Surface Water and Stormwater website of resources available to the public. <br />Multipurpose Outdoor Event Center <br />The City of Everett is partnering with Snohomish County, State of Washington, Everett AquaSox, United <br />Soccer League to build a new outdoor event center on a downtown Everett site that meets Major <br />League Baseball’s (MLB) and soccer facility requirements and allows for a variety of commercial and <br />public uses. The City’s portion of the project will be funded through a variety of funding sources <br />including capital improvement program funds, bonds and future revenue. <br />Schools <br />School districts within Snohomish County prepare and adopt capital facilities plans under a Snohomish <br />County-led framework for districts that charge housing development impact fees. This framework <br />includes a coordinated facility planning process every two years ending with adoption of the plans by <br />reference into the county Capital Facilities and Utilities element.
