Section III(F)(4) of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan as adopted by Ordinance No. 2021-94 which reads as follows: 4. Mixed Use Corridors: While Mixed Use Activity Centers encourage concentrated development at certain intersections of arterial streets or other points of high transportation access, it is clear that the transportation corridors which connect them also offer opportunities to reinforce a concentrated and efficient future development pattern. Within the Everett Planning Area, many of these corridors are comprised of a mix of land uses which include commercial, office, services, institutional, and residential development. These corridors also have a number of unique design problems and opportunities, which are discussed in the Urban Design Element. The Land Use Element designates these areas as Mixed Use Corridors. Mixed use corridors are intended to provide medium to high intensity areas of mixed use redevelopment along these major transportation corridors. Mixed use corridors can reinforce the Activity Center concept because intensive corridor development supports the infrastructure and public transportation facilities upon which the Activity Centers depend. The Land Use Element designates the Mixed Use Corridors only in areas outside the downtown core. The levels of intensity projected for the mixed use corridors are classified as either high intensity or medium intensity. Within the high intensity Mixed Use Corridors, land use intensities significantly higher than those of adjacent neighborhoods are permitted. High intensities in these areas which are already characterized by high volumes of traffic and commercial activity are preferred to the designation of additional areas for commercial uses. The permitted development intensity within these corridors is supported by the high levels of transportation service. These levels of land use intensity are intended to further support public transit service. The following arterials are designated as "high intensity" mixed use corridors: Broadway, north of 41st Street Evergreen Way (Hwy. 99), south from 41st Street to 148th St. Everett Mall Way, from northbound I-5 on ramp to Evergreen Way 3
