Background Information <br /> Permitted uses in the RFFD include those allowed in the SMP and the A-1, Agriculture <br /> Zone. The first floor of structures and outdoor storage areas must be raised at least 2 feet <br /> above the 100-year flood elevation. Parking areas and driveways can be no lower than 1 foot <br /> below the 100-year flood elevation. <br /> Permitted uses in the Special Development Area are any use that is consistent with the SMP <br /> and any applicable subarea plan. As within the floodway, structures and fill are only allowed <br /> through a conditional use process where they can meet stringent standards, including <br /> demonstrating that they do not unduly affect the capacity of the floodway. <br /> This Subarea Plan proposes to amend the zoning allowances and reinstate the ability to add <br /> residential dwellings in the RFFD. The City seeks to enhance passive recreation, and is not <br /> intending amendments to reinstate allowances for active recreation. <br /> 2.1.4.6.1 Snohomish County Zoning and Flood Hazard Regulations <br /> All the land in the subarea that is within unincorporated Snohomish County is zoned <br /> Agriculture-10 Acre, supporting agricultural uses. Except for the northernmost section, the <br /> land is outside of the MUGA. <br /> Allowable uses largely involve agriculture and agriculture related industries, as well as <br /> associated residential and agricultural structures. Public parks are also permitted. <br /> The 100-year floodplain within Snohomish County jurisdiction is designated Density Fringe <br /> Areas in Zone AE. Permitted uses include farmhouses if they meet certain construction <br /> standards and provide for sanitary sewerage systems, among other provisions. <br /> 2.1.5 Transportation <br /> 2.1.5.1 Streets <br /> Roadway access to the subarea is provided by the two-lane major collector street Lenora <br /> Street/Lowell-Snohomish River Road, which runs along the eastern/northern boundary of <br /> the subarea, and the two-lane minor arterial South 2nd Avenue/Larimer Road (also known as <br /> Lowell-Larimer Road), which runs north-south along the western boundary of the subarea. <br /> Levels of Service (LOS) for all roadways within the subarea are within the City's LOS <br /> Draft Subarea Plan June 2009 <br /> Everett Marshland 17 070346-01 <br />
