Provided that any portion of the Marshland Subarea that is restored to tidal habitat automatically is designated Aquatic in areas below the ordinary high water mark. (Aquatic designated areas include"All water areas of the Snohomish and its sloughs waterward of the ordinary high water mark, except for the portion inside the pierhead line in the Urban Maritime Environment, and the SEWIP assessment units designated Aquatic Conservancy.") Management Policies 1. All development, including restoration should be consistent with the Marshland Subarea Plan. Until such time as restoration and enhancement actions are undertaken, agricultural use will continue to be the predominant use in the area. No development should be allowed that would preclude the restoration actions identified in the Subarea Plan. 2. Public access should be encouraged. 3. Agriculture and associated industry, forest practices, and transportation and utility facilities are permitted. Residential uses should be allowed in the rural flood fringe district along Larimer Road when applicants can meet all applicable City and Snohomish Health District codes and regulations. 4. New construction of structures in the floodplain areas should be limited to structures with low flood damage potential. When development is allowed within floodplain areas, necessary measures shall be taken to protect property from damages that could be caused by flooding, including compliance with the City's floodplain regulations. New development in floodplain areas should reflect the character of the surrounding area by limiting residential density, providing permanent open space, and maintaining adequate building setbacks from the water to protect shoreline resources. 5. Allow uses and activities, including public access, which result in educational,passive recreational, and scientific benefits for the community.
