Ordinance 2161-96 - Laserfiche WebLink

• Everett's 2012 growth target for those portions of the Everett Planning Area within the city limits in 1994 are slightly higher than those established by Snohomish County Tomorrow- a population target of 96,000 as compared to 94,380 proposed by the County, and an employment target of 112,000 as compared to 109,814 proposed by the County. What this means is that Everett has provided for more population and employment capacity than required by the County. This is a more desirable position than if Everett had a lower capacity than the target established by the County. Everett should be able to accommodate the prescribed growth target. Everett will monitor the amount of population and employment growth within the city and the Everett Planning Area, and will continue to work with Snohomish County Tomorrow to ensure that the growth projected for all of the County can be accommodated in a planned and orderly manner. Section 3. The City of Everett Growth Management Comprehensive Plan, as contained in Exhibit A of Ordinance #2021-94, Section of the Land Use Element entitled"1.4 Central Business District Policies,"pages LU-23 and LU-24, is hereby amended by the addition of the following policy#1.4.11: 1.4.11 The following streets are designated as gateway corridors for downtown, and the City shall give priority to the design and development of transportation and visual improvements in these corridors in order to encourage and stimulate the redevelopment of the downtown: Hewitt Avenue,North Broadway, Everett Avenue, Pacific Avenue, Colby Avenue, Rucker Avenue between 19th and 43rd Streets, and West Marine View Drive. Section 4. The City of Everett Growth Management Comprehensive Plan, as contained in Exhibit A of Ordinance #2021-94, Section of the Land Use Element entitled"1.11.4 Everett Community College - General Hospital,"page LU-31, which reads: Everett Community College - General Hospital: Both Everett Community College and General Hospital Medical Center are located in residential zones in close proximity to one another in the north Everett area. Both institutions have previously identified long term expansion needs which could impact the surrounding neighborhood. Neither institution has sufficiently defined their future activity, space and land area needs to be able to delineate potential areas for expansion on a land use map. The recent merger of General Hospital with Providence Hospital will require further evaluation of expansion in this area. By consolidating services and eliminating competition between the two institutions, there may not be a need for hospital expansion in this neighborhood. When sufficient information from the college and merged hospitals is available, the issues and opportunities associated with any outward expansion into adjoining residential areas must be reviewed with substantial input from and agreement with the affected neighborhood. Until the City has worked with each institution and the adjoining neighborhood and arrived at a decision as to the future land use designations for this area, the existing residentially zoned areas shall remain residential. is hereby amended to read: 7
