Zoning Code <br /> Fish and Wildlife conservation areas in Everett are regulated by EMC Chapter 19.37.140. "Fish <br /> and wildlife habitat conservation areas" means an area of habitat that is necessary and suitable <br /> for maintaining individual species, species diversity, or biological diversity. These sections will <br /> not affect development proposals in the Downtown planning area. <br /> B. Endangered Species Act of 1973 and Washington State Priority Habitat and <br /> Species <br /> No endangered species or Washington State Priority Habitats and Species are located in the <br /> study area. Since stormwater from the study area is treated, continued development in <br /> Downtown will not affect federally listed threatened or endangered species or State Priority <br /> Habitats and Species. <br /> Projects that receive federal approval, are authorized by federal agencies, or are federally <br /> funded are said to have a "federal nexus." Projects with a federal nexus are required to consult <br /> with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service (the Services) <br /> regarding Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Even though there are no ESA- <br /> regulated species with the study area, some of these species are located within a mile of the <br /> study area. As such, projects with federal nexus will likely be required to document and <br /> determine potential ESA effects. <br /> Typical projects in Downtown Everett that are likely to have a federal nexus include federally <br /> funded road or transit projects, construction associated with federal buildings or agencies, and <br /> projects that receive Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants or Community <br /> Development Block Grants. <br /> 25 <br />
