may be modified by the planning director as needed to provide for continuity between the existing and proposed phases of development. Section 12: Ordinance 1671-89, as amended, is hereby amended by the addition of the following chapter, Chapter 31A, establishing additional standards and guidelines for the BMU (Broadway Mixed Use) zone,which shall read as follows: 31A.010. Applicability. The design standards and guidelines herein apply to new construction and remodeling activities in the BMU zone, with the following exceptions: a. Major exterior remodels include all remodels within a three year period whose value exceeds 50 percent of the value of the existing structure, at the time of the initial remodeling(not after value is increased by remodel), as determined by City of Everett valuation methods. All standards that do not involve repositioning the building or reconfiguring site development, as determined by the City, shall apply to major exterior remodels. b. Minor exterior remodels includes all remodels within a three year period with a value of 50 percent of the building valuation or less, as determined by the City of Everett valuation methods. For minor exterior remodels, only the proposed improvements shall meet the standards and/or guidelines of this chapter, and shall not create a greater non-conformance unless approved by the Planning Director, when it is infeasible for the remodel to comply with these standards. (For example, if a property owner decides to replace a building façade's siding, then the siding shall meet the applicable exterior building materials standards,but elements such as building modulation would not be required.) c. The standards and guidelines do not apply to remodels that do not change the exterior appearance of the building and site. However, if a project involves both exterior and interior improvements, then the project valuation shall include both exterior and interior improvements. These standards and guidelines supplement other standards in the zoning code. In the event of a conflict between these standards and other sections of the zoning code, these requirements shall control; provided,however, the requirements established as part of any historic or design overlay zone shall take precedence over any conflicting requirements in this chapter. 31A.020. Development Intensity. There shall be no maximum residential density standard in the BMU zone. 31A.030 Other Development Standards A. Maximum Building Height. 1. Mixed Use and Residential Uses. The maximum permitted building height for mixed use and residential structures shall be as provided by Map No. 31A-1, measured as height above base elevation as defined by EMC 19.04,provided: 50
