Section 14: The Land Use Element of the Everett Growth Management Comprehensive Plan, as established by Ordinance No. 2021-94 is hereby revised by the addition of the following policy to the Industrial Land Use Policies: 1.3.11 In order to promote greater land use compatibility with adjoining properties designated "Office and Industrial Park", land designated "Heavy Manufacturing" which has direct access to Hardeson Road shall have greater limitations on the range of permitted heavy industrial uses than otherwise allowed in the M-2 zone. Site development shall provide a substantial evergreen buffer within or adjacent to the Merrill and Ring Creek stream corridor so as to create an attractive gateway corridor and to screen the heavy industrial uses from the office and industrial park zoning on the east side of Hardeson Road. Until the zoning code is amended, the following requirements shall be implemented through private covenants and restrictions which have been voluntarily applied by the landowner and developer to sites in this "heavy manufacturing" area: Prohibited uses: Asphalt or concrete batch plants, vehicle impound yards, truck maintenance services except as accessory use to a permitted transportation activity, uses requiring outdoor storage of bulk or raw materials that cover more than 50% of the lot area, petroleum refineries, cement manufacturing, blast furnaces, smelting, drop forge industries, fertilizer manufacture, sanitary landfills, solid waste transfer stations, waste to energy facilities, electrical power generating facilities, sewage treatment plants except for industrial pre-treatment for on-site uses, and composting facilities. Landscaping: A "see through buffer" meeting the requirements of Type II landscaping as described in the zoning code shall be planted along the Hardeson Road frontage within or adjacent to the Merrill and Ring Creek stream corridor, as permitted by the regulations of Section 37 of the zoning code. The requirements of Landscape Category D, as described in the zoning code, shall apply to interior lot lines. As an alternative to these standards, the property owner may propose a master landscaping plan for Planning Director approval for all lots within the subject area that provides a landscaping treatment equivalent or superior to the requirements described herein. Section 15: The Land Use Map of the Everett Growth Management Comprehensive Plan as established by Ordinance No. 2021-94 is revised as provided in this Ordinance and the Official Land Use Map in the Planning Department of the City of Everett shall be revised as herein above provided. Should any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase set forth in this ordinance or its application to any person or situation be declared unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance or its application to any other person or situation. The City Council of the City of Everett hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional. 15
