Ordinance 2853-05 - Laserfiche WebLink

Parking Ratios The maximum parking ratio for any use shall be 4/1000 gross square feet. If the parking code calls for less parking for a specific use then that standard would apply. Improved on-street parking spaces provided by constructing diagonal or perpendicular parking adjacent to buildings proposed for reuse shall count towards the required on-site parking for that building. Recommended that a program be created to develop shared public lots which would meet the off street parking requirement and would be based on a pay a fee on a per stall basis. Design Standards and Guidelines All development within the C-2 /ES Zone is subject to the Design Standards and Guidelines adopted by city council. The multiple family design standards in the zoning code will not apply to residential development in this area. Housing is intended to use the design standards and guidelines in this document and have an industrial feel through design and materials. Any development may propose and the planning director, using the review process described in EMC Title 15, Local Project Review Procedures', may allow an applicant to deviate from the Everett Station Design Standards and Guidelines, provided the proposal satisfies the evaluation criteria of this subsection. This process differs from the variance procedure in that rather than approval being based upon unusual circumstances or a physical hardship such as steep slopes, it is based upon the quality of the proposed design. This alternative process is intended to promote well-designed development which does not strictly comply with the Design Standards and Guidelines, but which meets the criteria contained herein. In evaluating the proposal, the planning director, using the criteria below, shall determine if the alternative design provides equivalent or superior results to that which would be required by the Design Standards and Guidelines. 1. What Can Be Modified. EMC 15.16.080.A.7 states that Review Process II applications include"Design guideline approval,when proposal includes modification of development standards and design guidelines and when project is not categorically exempt under SEPA." Review process II applications require posting notice on the property, mailing notice to contiguous property owners,mailing notice to the neighborhood leader mailing list,and mailing notice to the SEPA mailing list(unless the project is categorically exempt from SEPA). 16
