0 EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> i <br /> 8. Reduce the use of impact fees for projects providing affordable housing or, within the <br /> financial capability of the City, subsidize impact mitigation fees for construction of low and <br /> moderate income housing units. <br /> 9. Work closely with Federal and State agencies to maximize the amount of public funding <br /> available for housing rehabilitation in Everett. <br /> 10. Work closely with private local financial institutions, non-profit housing organizations, the <br /> construction industry, the business community, churches and other charitable organizations to <br /> maximize the amount of private funding available for housing rehabilitation in Everett. <br /> 11. Work closely with neighborhood organizations, social service agencies, non-profit housing <br /> organizations, the construction industry, the business community, churches and other charitable <br /> organizations to inform such groups of the CHIP housing rehabilitation as a means to increase <br /> the rehabilitation of housing in the community. <br /> 12. Assemble packages of publicly owned land for affordable housing or mixed-use housing <br /> development. <br /> 13. Work closely with Snohomish County and neighboring cities in King and Snohomish <br /> County to monitor the production, cost and vacancy rates of housing in the region in order to <br /> better understand regional housing needs and how such needs may affect Everett. <br /> 14. Implement "fair share" housing programs in Snohomish County to ensure that a <br /> disproportionate share of low income, special needs and high-density housing does not continue <br /> to be located in Everett. <br /> 15. Work closely with Snohomish County and neighboring cities in King and Snohomish <br /> County to assure that sufficient housing opportunities are provided in other communities. <br /> 16. Provide public amenities such as parks; public plazas; street trees; street lights; community <br /> centers; and pedestrian and bicycle connections to the CBD, water, and nearby trails to <br /> encourage private investment in high density housing in strategy areas in and near the <br /> downtown. <br /> 17. Extend the multiple family tax abatement program to high density strategy areas outside the <br /> CBD when the development is well-designed and constructed of quality materials. <br /> 18. Consider public/private partnership opportunities whereby public parks could be developed <br /> in conjunction with private development. <br /> 19. Conduct"area" or neighborhood plans for high density strategy areas in and around the <br /> downtown to determine goals, objectives, and visions for development of the areas. Such <br /> planning should start with a focused market analysis to determine what the opportunities and <br /> gaps are in relationship desired uses. <br /> 113 <br /> HOUSING ELEMENT 17 <br />
