EVERETT 2044 <br />DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS <br /> <br /> <br />6/17/2025 <br />DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS <br />Page 187 <br />in Chapter 19.33 EMC), minimum building heights are required for principal buildings as set forth below. 1 <br />There is no minimum height requirement for accessory buildings. 2 <br />Table 22-3: Minimum Building Heights 3 <br />Building Type Zone or Street Designatfon <br />UR3 UR4 MU MU on TOD Street <br />Principal Building 2 floors 2 floors 2 floors 4 floors <br />Accessory Building No minimum No minimum No minimum No minimum <br /> 4 <br /> Neighborhood <br />Nodes <br />Community Hubs Metro Everett TOD Streets <br />Minimum Building <br />Height <br />2 floors 3 floors 3 floors 4 floors (1) <br />(1) Except in a historic overlay 5 <br />C. Development of affordable housing for low-income households on real property owned or controlled 6 <br />by a religious organizatfon may exceed the underlying building height limit by 10’. 7 <br />Incentive Height Maximums. Where Map 22-1 includes a range of maximum building heights (e.g., five to 8 <br />eight floors), the lower number is referred to as the “base height maximum” and the higher number is 9 <br />referred to as the “incentfve height maximum.” A building may be built to the base height maximum 10 <br />without applicatfon of the development heights incentfve program. See development height incentfves 11 <br />program (EMC 19.22.080). 12 <br />19.22.030, WHERE HEIGHT REDUCTIONS ARE REQUIRED. 13 <br />A. Intent. The following requirements are intended to promote compatfbility between areas with 14 <br />different permitted heights and different permitted uses. The following instances might require 15 <br />reductfon in allowed building heights: 16 <br />1. Where multffamily zones abut single-family zones; 17 <br />2. Where commercial zones about single-family zones; 18 <br />3. Where industrial uses abut single- or multffamily zones; 19 <br />4. Where development is within the airport compatfbility area. 20 <br />B. Height Reductions—Adjacency, Table. 21 <br />1. Table 22-4 requires height reductfons where a development site is in a zone identffied in 22 <br />Column A and which abuts an adjacent zone shown in Column B. In these circumstances, the 23 <br />development must adhere to the height limits in the adjacent zone (from Column B) for the 24 <br />distance specified in Column C. If the proposed development abuts a residentfal zone that is not 25 <br />within the city limits, the height limits assumed will be twenty-eight feet. 26 <br />2. The measurement of distance from the building to adjacent zone is from adjacent zone 27 <br />boundary, except where the adjacent zone boundary is along the centerline of a street or alley, 28
