Ordinance 2161-96 - Laserfiche WebLink

Center are large institutional facilities located in a residential neighborhood and in close proximity in the northwest Everett neighborhood. Both institutions have previously identified expansion needs. However, the recent merger of General Hospital with Providence Hospital has, at least temporarily, put a hold on future expansion plans while long term service plans are evaluated. Until such time that Providence-General Medical Center identifies future expansion needs, the residential areas abutting the Colby campus will remain designated for residential use according to the Land Use Map and applicable policies and regulations. Any changes to these residential land use designations will require further evaluation by the City in context with an update to the comprehensive plan. Everett Community College has identified its expansion plans for the next 10 years (approximately through 2005) as being satisfied by the conversion of the land located between Tower Street, 10th Street, Lombard Avenue and Broadway from single family use to allow for the addition of new classroom space and surface level off-street parking facilities. The expansion of the college campus into this area is approved subject to the approval of a detailed master plan that will be implemented through the use of the Institutional Overlay Zone, which will provide long term predictability for the college and the surrounding neighborhood. The Institutional Overlay Zone shall be subject to further environmental analysis and public review by the Planning Commission and City Council. Any future expansion plans beyond these new boundaries shall be subject to further review by the City in context with an update to the comprehensive plan and input from the neighborhood. Future campus growth should be directed toward the North Broadway arterial corridor, and away from the abutting single family neighborhood. The land located east of Broadway (west of the North Broadway arterial corridor), and between Tower Street and 10th Street, which is presently zoned residential is hereby re- designated"Mixed Use Commercial - Multiple Family." The implementing zoning shall B-2 (Community Business). Everett Community College shall work with the neighborhood in the development of the detailed master plan. The master plan shall provide for off-street parking and access improvements, with the principal access to the campus on Broadway (not North Broadway), which reduce the use of on-street parking by college students and staff, shall provide for the safety of school children walking to the adjacent Whittier Elementary School campus, shall include measures to direct college traffic away from the residential neighborhood, shall integrate public transit improvements to the greatest extent possible, shall provide for efficient on-site pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and shall include landscaping along street frontages and within parking lots that meet City standards.
