2005/11/16 Council Agenda Packet

Everett Municipal Code, a process whereby revisions to the development agreement and accompanying conceptual site development may occur. C. Proposed Amendments to Development Agreement: The Port of Everett and Maritime Trust propose changes to the development agreement, which have been highlighted in legislative format in the notebooks provided in response to the Planning Commission questions at the September 13, 2005, public workshop. The proposed changes to the development agreement are summarized below. • The 3 alternative site plans included in the 2003 development agreement is proposed to be replaced by a single conceptual site plan approved by the Port Commission • A Fisherman's Tribute Tower is proposed within the site plan with a height of 95 feet • The permitted residential building height in each block is proposed to be increased by 10 feet over the height allowed by the existing development agreement. Blocks that were previously allowed a building height of 35 feet, 45 feet and 55 feet, respectively, are now proposed to be allowed a building height of 45 feet, 55 feet, and 65 feet, respectively • The "view protection" diagram is proposed to be eliminated and replaced with a building height map identified as "Attachment C" in the notebook • The 13`" Street view corridor is proposed to be modified to identify architectural elements of buildings that may encroach into the view corridor • The parking standard for residential use is proposed to be changed to 1.0 parking space per bedroom, not to include "den, office, or study." The City zoning code standard for multiple family housing is 2.0 parking space per dwelling for the first 100 dwelling units, and 1.5 spaces per dwelling unit above 100 dwelling units. Dwellings with 3 or more bedrooms shall provide 2.0 spaces per dwelling. The City code also counts "den, office, or study" as a bedroom for purposes of calculating required off-street parking in multiple family dwellings(EMC 19.15.060.A.3). • Dimensions of the dry boat storage building are proposed to be changed to allow a width greater than 140 feet for ancillary boat repair and services, not to exceed 35 feet in height. • The term "building appurtenances" is proposed be revised to "rooftop appurtenances" and allowed a height of 10 feet above the top plate of the roof, including trellises for rooftop landscaping. • Attachment D "Public Access/ Circulation" is proposed to be revised to reflect the conceptual site plan selected by the Port Commission. D. Information Requested by Planning Commission: The Planning Commission requested additional information from the Port and Maritime Trust at the September 13 Planning Commission meeting. One request included the placement of"story poles" to indicate the proposed height of buildings on the North Marina site, in the location where buildings are proposed. The Port did install the story poles and had a public demonstration on October 8, 2005, with balloons to indicate which poles were placed at specified heights. That information was included in the notebooks. Additional photo exhibits from this demonstration are anticipated to be presented at the public hearing October 18. Other information provided in the Port/Maritime notebook includes: 2
