E. Reduced Setback Modifications. Residential lots shall maintain the minimum setback <br /> requirements as specified by the Everett Zoning Code, unless a setback modification is <br /> granted in conjunction with the preliminary subdivision or short subdivision review <br /> process. Subject to the limitation in this subsection, setbacks modified from those <br /> provided in the Everett Zoning Code or other sections of this title may be granted by the <br /> director when the director determines that the modified setbacks would provide for a <br /> more usable building site, better orientation of the unit, more usable private yard area, or <br /> a more logical layout of off-street parking from the public street, easement access drive <br /> or panhandle lot. The following minimum standards must be met: <br /> 1. The modification may not result in a setback of less than five feet from an interior lot <br /> line; <br /> 2. The modification may not result in a setback of less than ten feet from a rear lot <br /> exterior property line of the property to be subdivided in easement access or panhandle <br /> lot short subdivision only. Except the principal structure may not exceed fifteen feet in <br /> height if closer than twenty feet from a rear lot exterior property line; <br /> 3. Setbacks along the project's exterior property boundaries may not be modified except <br /> as allowed by this subsection and Section 18.32.010 of this title, or through the cluster <br /> alternative process; <br /> 4. The site development plan and landscaping/ screening concepts proposed meet the <br /> requirements and intent of this subsection and Section 18.28.080 of this chapter and <br /> mitigate impacts of the proposed setback modification. <br /> BE AND THE SAME IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS: <br /> E.
