These are lands that are not intended for urban development and are <br /> located outside the urban growth boundary. These properties are intended to be used only for <br /> municipal service purposes that do not conflict with the maintenance of a safe and adequate <br /> water supply for the Everett water system, and which are in accordance with applicable license <br /> requirements. <br /> 2.

AQ Aquatic Zone. The purpose of the aquatic zone is to protect aquatic areas and the lands <br /> underyling them, and to provide for certain limited uses consistent with the shoreline master <br /> program and regulations protecting environmentally sensitive areas. <br /> 4. OS Open Space Zone. The purpose of the open space zone is to provide a zoning <br /> classification for public properties characterized by environmental sensitivity and value to be <br /> preserved, for the most part, in their undisturbed state, and to provide and protect open space <br /> and other natural assets of the community to improve the aesthetic and functional features of the <br /> community, <br /> F. Overlay Zones. <br /> 1. Floodplain Overlay Zones.

These regulations control <br /> the uses and regulate structures consistent with the degree of flood hazard. In advancing the <br /> general purposes of the zoning ordinance and the Everett general plan, the specific intent of the <br /> floodplain overlay zones is: <br /> a. To restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety or property in times of <br /> flood or which cause excessive increases in flood heights or velocities; <br /> b. To require that uses vulnerable to floods, including public facilities which serve such uses, <br /> shall be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction; <br /> c. To ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for <br /> their actions; <br /> d. To ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood <br /> hazard; <br /> e. To meet the minimum requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program, thus <br /> qualifying residents of the city to participate in the Federal Flood Insurance Program. <br /> 2. PRD Planned Residential Development Overlay Zone. The purpose of the planned <br /> residential development overlay zone is to: <br /> a. Permit flexibility in design of residential environments through placement and spacing of <br /> buildings, use of open spaces, pedestrian circulation, facilities and off-street parking areas in <br /> 9 <br />
