Attachment A to Downtown Planned Action Ordinance Planned Action EIS Mitigation Measures Introduction: The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requires environmental review for project and non- project proposals that may have adverse impacts on the environment. In order to meet SEPA requirements, the City of Everett issued the Planned Action Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Everett Downtown Plan on January 9, 2009, and the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement on February 23, 2009. The Draft Supplemental Environment Impact Statement and the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement are referenced collectively herein as the"EIS". The EIS has identified probable, significant impacts that would occur with the future development of the Planned Action area, together with a number of potential measures to mitigate those significant impacts. The purpose of the Mitigation Document is to establish specific mitigation measure for qualified Planned Action development proposals, based upon significant impacts identified in the EIS. The mitigation measures would apply to future development proposals that are consistent with the Everett Downtown Plan, the land uses reviewed in the Planned Action EIS, and that are located in the Planned Action area. Mitigation: Based on the EIS, which is incorporated by reference, this Mitigation Document summarizes significant adverse Environmental impacts that are anticipated to occur in conjunction with the development of planned action projects. Mitigation measures, identified in the EIS, are reiterated here for inclusion in conjunction with proposed projects to mitigate related impacts and to qualify as Planned Action projects. Consistency review under the Planned Action, site plan review and other permit approvals will be required for specific development actions under the proposed Planned Action pursuant to WAC 197-11-172. Additional project conditions may be imposed on planned action projects based upon the analysis of the Planned Action in relationship to independent requirements of the City, state or federal requirements or review criteria. Any applicant for a project within the Planned Action area may propose alternative mitigation measures, if appropriate or as a result of changed circumstances, in order to allow equivalent substitute mitigation for identified impacts. Such modifications would be evaluated by the City SEPA Official prior to any project approvals by the City. As permitted by WAC 197-11-660, it is recognized that there may be some adverse impacts that are unavoidable because reasonable or feasible mitigation cannot be achieved for the Planned Action. 1
