Resolution 5703 - Laserfiche WebLink

INTRODUCTION The following North Marina Development Standards & Guidelines have been adopted as part of the Planned Development Overlay (PDO) Ordinance and Development Agreement. The Guidelines are not intended to preclude or discourage creative or innovative solutions and approaches that provide an equal or better solution than the examples depicted. All design solutions and approaches will be shown to be of a high quality and will reflect the goals of providing a pedestrian oriented, mixed us development with extensive public access and open space. The Guidelines will be used to guide site development based on the preferred site design provided by the Port of Everett. The Guidelines are intended to create a high standard of site function, appearance and public access, which the Port of Everett and Maritime Trust have communicated throughout its public involvement process. The traditional use of the North Marina site has been "working waterfront."The proposal is to add retail, office and residential uses while maintaining marina support services. An important aspect of the proposal is public access would be enhanced by creating a continual public access promenade and other public access improvements. The proposal calls for development of the 12th Street Waterway into a marina, with parking on the north side of the waterway. The marina and its parking are going through a permit process which is separate from this action. Circulation links between the north marina and the new marina, its parking and the boat launch will be required. The application before the City is to amend the City's Comprehensive Plan designation for the site from Marine Services (5.2) to Waterfront Commercial (4.5), to rezone the site from Maritime Services (M-S) to Waterfront Commercial (W-C), implemented through a Planned Development Overlay zone (PDO) which will include these Guidelines, and to amend the Shoreline Master Program (SMP). The amendment is to accommodate additional uses and to be consistent with applicable policies and regulations found in the SMP. These guidelines comprise part of the review materials needed by the City to examine and rule on the proposed land and shoreline use policies and regulations. Since proposed amendments will be predicated on review of the guidelines found herein, it follows that the guidelines will become the standard for review of subsequent permit applications. 5 North Marina Design Standards & Guidelines
