Section 6. Section 5 Ordinance No. 3002-07 (EMC 19.15.020), which currently reads as follows: Calculation of permitted number of dwelling units. The intent of this section is to implement the Everett comprehensive plan by regulating the permitted density of multiple-family housing in various zone districts. A. Density Standards. The maximum number of multiple-family dwelling units permitted in each zone shall be as provided by the density standard listed in Table No. 15-1. The total lot area is divided by the density standard indicated below to determine the permitted maximum number of dwellings on the lot. See Section 33D.540(C) or 37.210(C) for lots with environmentally sensitive areas. Compliance with other requirements of this title or other city development standards, such as environmentally sensitive area regulations or surface water requirements, may have the effect of reducing the total number of dwellings that can be built on a site. Achievable density may also be limited by site size, configuration and project design. A project applicant may not be able to achieve the full number of dwelling units that is permitted by the density standards of this section. TABLE NO. 15-1 PERMITTED MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DENSITY 1. R-1(A) Zone =1 dwelling unit per 3,600 square feet(up to 12 DU's per acre) 2. R-2(A) Zone =1 dwelling unit per 2,900 square feet(up to 15 DU's per acre) 3. R-3(L) Zone =1 dwelling unit per 2,200 square feet(up to 20 DU's per acre) 4. R-3 Zone =1 dwelling unit per 1,500 square feet(up to 29 DU's per acre) 5. R-4 Zone =1 dwelling unit per 750 square feet (up to 58 DU's per acre) 6. R-5 Zone =no maximum density requirement 7. B-1 Zone =1 dwelling unit per 2,200 square feet' (up to 20 DU's per acre) 8. B-2 Zone =1 dwelling unit per 750 square feet2'3 (up to 58 DU's per acre) 9. B-2(B) Zone =1 dwelling unit per 1,500 square feet(up to 29 DU's per acre) 10.B-3 Zone =no maximum density requirement 11.C-1, C-1R Zones=1 dwelling unit per 750 square feet3 (up to 58 DU's per acre) 12.C-2 Zone =no maximum density require-mento 13.W-C Zone =l dwelling per 750 square feet (up to 58 DU's per acre) 1 Multiple-family dwellings are permitted only in a mixed-use building in which at least twenty-five percent of the gross floor area is devoted to a permitted nonresidential use, or at least ninety percent of the street frontage of the ground floor is devoted to retail use. 2 One dwelling per one thousand five hundred square feet in the area located east of Interstate 5 and south of 100th Street SE. 3 No maximum density requirement in the area identified by map number 15-1. 4 Housing is allowed only in those C-2 zoned areas identified by map number 15-1. B. Fractional Number of Dwelling Units. In determining the number of dwellings allowed in a single-family attached or multiple-family development, the lot area is divided by the number of square feet this title requires per dwelling unit. When this computation results in a fraction, the number is rounded down to the next whole number, except that when this computation results in a fraction which equals .5 or larger on lots which contain a minimum of five thousand square feet, the number is rounded up to the next whole number, provided all other requirements of this title can be met. 20
