B. Minimum Building Heights. In order to encourage efficient use of property within mixed-use <br />centers and along streets designated as transit-oriented development (see Map 33-1 in Chapter <br />19.33 EMC), minimum building heights are required for principal buildings as set forth below. <br />There is no minimum height requirement for accessory buildings. <br />Table 22-3: Minimum Building Heights <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 <br />C. Development of affordable housing for low-income households on real property owned or <br />controlled by a religious organization may exceed the underlying building height limit by 10’. <br />Section 21. EMC 19.22.030 is hereby amended as follows, with strikeout text deleted and underlined <br />text added. <br />19.22.030 Where height reductions are required. <br />A. Intent. The following requirements are intended to promote compatibility between areas <br />with different permitted heights and different permitted uses. The following instances might <br />require reduction in allowed building heights: <br />1. Where a zone that allows buildings over seventy feet tall abuts a neighborhood <br />residential zone <br />2. Where industrial uses abut residential zones; <br />3. Where development is within the airport compatibility area. <br />B. Height Reductions—Adjacency, Table. <br />1. Table 22-4 requires height reductions where a development site is in a zone <br />identified in Column A and which abuts an adjacent zone shown in Column B. In these <br />circumstances, the development must adhere to the height limits in the adjacent zone <br />(from Column B) for the distance specified in Column C. If the proposed development <br />abuts a residential zone that is not within the city limits, the height limits assumed will <br />be twenty-eight thirty-five feet. <br />2. The measurement of distance from the building to adjacent zone is from adjacent <br />zone boundary, except where the adjacent zone boundary is along the centerline of a <br />street or alley, the measurement shall be made from the property line across an alley or <br />street in the adjacent residential zone. <br />3. See Table 22-5 for illustration of how these reductions are applied.
