1. Introduction In 2000, Snohomish County considered a move of its administrative offices to a location away from downtown Everett. This occurred at the same time that necessary additions were being considered for the Snohomish County jail to house "pre-adjudication" (pre- trial) prisoners. After consultation with City of Everett leadership and a working agreement to build an office building along with a jail addition, the County Council decided to retain offices in downtown Everett, to update long-term space needs studies and to proceed with construction of a renovated government campus. This program is called the Campus Redevelopment Initiative or CRI. The County is proceeding with an application to the City of Everett for approval of a Planned Development Overlay (PDO) for the three-block area bounded by Pacific Avenue, Wetmore Avenue. Wall Street and Lombard Avenue. The PDO would include a Site Plan and a Development Agreement. On October 15, 2001, the Snohomish County Council adopted a preferred alternative for the CRI which would include the following improvements to be completed by 2005: • demolition of the Administrative Annex at Rockefeller and Wall Streets • demolition of the Ginni Stevens Hearing Room • demolition of the County parking garage between Pacific and Wall on Oakes • demolition of the Pacific Annex of the County Jail • demolition of the Work Release building near the County Jail • a new building addition to the jail on the block bounded by Pacific, Oakes, Wall and Lombard to accommodate 640 new pre-adjudication beds (1040 total) • addition of a 150-200,000 square foot administrative office building at Pacific and Oakes • remodel of the existing County administration building • retention of the historic Carnegie Building and Mission Building in their present condition • an eastward expansion of the existing pedestrian plaza fronting Wall Street • streetscape and landscaping improvements throughout the renovated campus • a new parking garage below ground under the pedestrian plaza to include 1.200 parking stalls • a tunnel extending from the jail to the courthouse for the secure transport of inmates Further improvements on the campus, such as expansion of court room facilities. are contemplated at later dates. This Transportation Impact Analysis considers the longer term developments, but proposes mitigations only for the known developments to be completed by 2005. Development of the County Campus Redevelopment Initiative is being prepared by NBBJ Architects with assistance from Perteet Engineering, Inc., Shockey Brent, and Reid Middleton.
