Exhibit B <br />ORDINANCE Exhibit A - Page 28 of 66 <br />Areas, City of Everett, Washington: July 1, 1991, or as revised through best available <br />science. <br />b. Those areas mapped as high and moderate to high liquefaction susceptibility on the <br />Liquefaction Susceptibility Map of Snohomish County, Washington, Washington State <br />Department of Natural Resources, Palmer, Stephen, et al., September, 2004. <br />3. Erosion hazard areas: <br />a. Those areas defined as high and very high/severe risk of erosion in the Dames and <br />Moore Methodology for the Inventory, Classification and Designation of Geologically <br />Hazardous Areas, City of Everett, Washington: July 1, 1991, or as revised through best <br />available science: <br />(1) High erosion hazard areas include slopes of twenty-five to forty percent in <br />Qva and Qal geologic units; and slopes of greater than forty percent in other <br />(not Qva or Qal) geologic units. <br />(2) Very high/severe erosion hazard areas include slopes of greater than forty <br />percent in Qva and Qal geologic units. <br />b. Those areas defined as medium risk of erosion in the Dames and Moore <br />Methodology for the Inventory, Classification and Designation of Geologically Hazardous <br />Areas, City of Everett, Washington: July 1, 1991, or as revised through best available <br />science, when they contain debris and mud flows, gullying or rifling, immature <br />vegetation, or no vegetation: <br />(1) Slopes of twenty-five to forty percent in other (not Qva or Qal) geologic <br />units. <br />4. Tsunami hazard areas: <br />a. Tsunami hazard areas include coastal areas and shoreline areas susceptible <br />to flooding, inundation, debris impact, and/or mass wasting as the result of coastal <br />wave action generated by seismic events or other geologic events. Suspected <br />tsunami hazard areas are indicated on the Tsunami Hazard Areas maps maintained <br />by the Washington Department of Natural Resources. <br />5. Other areas which the city has reason to believe are geologically hazardous. <br />B. Mapping. The approximate location and extent of potential geologically hazardous areas are shown <br />on maps maintained by the City of Everett and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, <br />as referenced in the designation descriptions, above. These maps are meant to serve as a guide for <br />applicants, owners, and plan reviewers. However, they do not provide a conclusive of or definitive <br />indication of geologically hazardous area presence or extent. This article does not imply that land <br />outside mapped geologically hazardous areas or uses permitted within such areas will be without risk. <br />This chapter shall not create liability on the part of the City of Everett or any officer or employee thereof <br />for any damages that result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision lawfully made <br />hereunder.
