�( the downtown area, there are still other measures that could be taken by City Council for its consideration to increase capacity. 6. In addition to the "reasonable measures" and the additional population and employment holding capacity documented in the Buildable Lands Report, Everett can take other actions to increase capacity. Examples are: • The Everett Station area could see additional housing and employment over the coming years. • There are Port of Everett areas for redevelopment including the North Marina Master Plan and the Riverside Industrial Park. • The Kimberly Clark (east Everett area) and Southwest Everett areas have industrial employment potential. • Everett's downtown area has tremendous potential along with the commercial corridors of Broadway Avenue,Rucker/Evergreen Way, and Everett Mall Way. • The Riverfront area including the Simpson/Brownfields area has development potential to be explored in the future. NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY THE EVERETT CITY COUNCIL THAT: 1. The City Council adopts the initial "low end" of the 2025 population range target provided to the City of Everett by Snohomish County Tomorrow; specifically the City should be able to accommodate a population of 123,060 by 2025, and 2. The City Council adopts the initial "high end" of the 2025 employment range target of 130,340 jobs due to the land capacity availability and the vision that Everett will continue to be a good place to do business, where businesses wish to locate and grow. 3. For the unincorporated area within Everett's Municipal Urban Growth Area the initial target 2025 employment and population numbers should be at the "low end"of the target range for population and employment. The population number would be 53,530 persons, an addition of 19,060 persons. The employment number would be 8,060 jobs, an addition of 3,030 jobs.
