Section 2. Exhibit A of Ordinance#2021-94, as amended, section of the Land Use Element entitled Shoreline Land Uses, Policy 1.12.1(c)which reads as follows: c) The policies and regulations contained in the Everett SMP, as currently written or in the future amended, are intended to address in detail the variety of complex shoreline issues encountered when the City reviews shoreline permit applications, and are to be used in evaluating and applying conditions of approval to shoreline permit applications. is hereby amended to read as follows: c) The goals and policies of the City's shoreline master progr, approved under chapter 90.58 RCW shall be considered as the shoreline element of the comprehensive plan. The policies and regulations contained in the Everett SMP, as currently written or in the future amended, are intended to address in detail the variety of complex shoreline issues encountered when the City reviews shoreline permit applications, and are to be used in evaluating and applying conditions of approval to shoreline permit applications. Section 3. Section V (Land Use Map)of the text of the Land Use Element contained in Exhibit A of Ordinance#2021-94, as amended, is amended by the addition of the following text. Section V.E: Residential Densities. The land use designations of the Land Use Map include a density range for the residential land use designations expressed in"dwellings per gross acre." The density ranges provided are meant to indicate the number of dwellings that could be developed for an area, given optimum conditions for construction of the improvements necessary to support residential development. The density ranges expressed are not intended to guarantee that a property owner can build at the maximum, or even the minimum density indicated on the map. Numerous factors influence how densely a given property can be developed. However, the density ranges expressed on the Land Use Map provide a guide to the establishment of development regulations that will be used to determine how property is developed, especially the development standards for density or lot size contained in the Zoning Code. In order to realize the higher end of the density range of the Land Use Map, a property owner must choose housing types, development styles, and construction methods which enable one to achieve the higher density. For example, to realize the upper end of the density range for the 1.2 "Single Family Detached, 5 to 10 Dwelling per Gross Acre"designation, one must develop duplexes in the R-2 zone at the highest density possible (a duplex on a lot containing 7,500 square feet exceeds a density of 10 dwellings per acre), or single family detached dwellings with an accessory dwelling unit in the R-1 Zone. Single family detached dwellings without the accessory dwelling unit will allow a property owner to realize the lower end of the density range, but not the top end. In multiple family land use designations, it may be necessary to place off-street parking below grade to realize the higher end of the density range. The R-1 Zone is intended to allow development densities within the lower end of the 1.2 "Single Family Detached, 5 to 10 Dwelling per Gross Acre" land use designation. The R-2 Zone is intended to allow development densities within the higher end of the 1.2 "Single Family Detached, 5 to 10 Dwelling per Gross Acre" land use designation. Co
