EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> D. Facilities and Services Controlled by Others <br /> This includes facilities that are not subject to concurrency and funding requirements under GMA, <br /> but may be subject to a local adequacy test. Facilities in this category are necessary for the <br /> approval of development. Therefore, the City will work with service providers (e.g., school <br /> districts, Snohomish County PUD)to reach agreement on ways to ensure that these services are <br /> available when needed. <br /> E. Essential Public Facilities <br /> According to the GMA, "essential public facilities" is a specialized term applicable in the <br /> context of siting and refers to facilities that are typically difficult to site. If a service or facility is <br /> considered to be an important public service and is difficult to site, it may be included in this list, <br /> regardless of ownership. <br /> The GMA requires that the City's comprehensive plans contain a process for identifying and <br /> siting essential public facilities (WAC 365-195-340). Evaluation of proposals for the expansion <br /> of existing essential public facilities or construction of new essential public facilities within the <br /> city shall be according to a set of criteria. These criteria shall consider, among other things,the <br /> need for the facility, its compatibility with surrounding land uses, and the goals of the project. <br /> Table 1: Categorization of Capital Facilities and Utilities as they relate to GMA <br /> Concurrency <br /> Category 1 Category 2 Category 3 <br /> GMA Concurrent City Provided Facilities Facilities and Services <br /> Facilities Not subject to State GMA Controlled by Others: <br /> Subject to the State GMA concurrency and funding Not subject to State GMA <br /> concurrency and funding requirements. concurrency and funding <br /> requirements. requirements. <br /> City will monitor facility <br /> needs and will include in City will work with purveyors <br /> capital plans and budgets. to assure provision of facilities <br /> and services. <br /> Transportation Storm Water Management Schools <br /> Water Solid Waste Electricity <br /> Sewer Law Enforcement Gas <br /> Fire and Emergency Medical Communication Utilities <br /> Parks and Recreation Solid Waste <br /> Libraries Hospitals <br /> City Administration <br /> CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT 3 <br />
