Resolution 5742 - Laserfiche WebLink

ATTACHMENT 1 This Plan is based on a "phased review" approach. Overall, the City of Everett land use process has three main phases or steps, so that the environmental and land use considerations are evaluated together at the earliest time and at each meaningful point in the planning and decisionmaking process: 1. The FCAP/FEIS, which evaluated the cleanup and future land use alternatives and their consistency with the comprehensive plan and zoning (already completed); 2. The areawide rezone and Community Renewal Plan, including the guidelines for future redevelopment, which are "plan-level" decisions (this is the current phase, although the Plan may be revised or updated in the future); and 3. Specific redevelopment project proposals and local project review, including project-specific SEPA environmental review, of these projects and associated infrastructure (future "project-level" actions). The scope of the current Community Renewal Plan is generally at the second level described above. Except for the rehabilitation of up to 15 existing Asarco Houses, which are project actions covered by this Plan, the Plan provides the overall concept and framework for future redevelopment. Future redevelopment projects will be evaluated for consistency with the guidelines in this Plan and with City development regulations (see Section 7 of this Plan). 3. Community Renewal Area The Everett City Council has designated an approximate 18-acre area next to the former smelter, current zoned R-2, as a "blighted area" under the state Community Renewal Law. See Exhibit A (Resolution No. 5503), which includes a map of the area. Under the Community Renewal Law, a blighted area designated as appropriate for a community renewal project is considered a community renewal area. In this Plan and in related documents, the community renewal area is referred to as the "Redevelopment Area." The Redevelopment Area is the area generally bounded by Broadway, East Marine View Drive, and the rear yard of the lots on Hawthorne and Butler Streets (see maps in Exhibits A and E). The legal description of the Redevelopment Area is: Community Renewal Plan-page 5
