o 2.11.8 (f) Encourage economic development opportunities and aviation <br />related uses adjacent to airports and promote the efficient mobility of <br />goods and services region -wide consistent with the economic <br />development element and the regional transportation strategy. <br />The current industrial use is considered compatible with Snohomish County/ <br />Paine Field Airport. <br />® According to the Draft (DSEIS), the CEMEX development, if approved, would <br />allow up to 1,045 new dwelling units within the City of Everett's identified airport <br />influence area. <br />Although, the proposed development falls outside the 55 DNL noise contour, <br />residents may still experience a diminished quality of life due to noise generated <br />from normal airport operations. <br />WSDOT Aviation supports the notice on title requirement of the project. <br />However, a notice on title does not facilitate compatibility between uses. It does <br />not increase the quality of life one experiences within the airport influence area. <br />In conclusion, WSDOT Aviation recommends that the City of Everett continue to take <br />proactive steps to,protectSnohomish County/ Paine Field from the encroachment of <br />incompatible uses. The importance of Snohomish County/Paine Field Airport to the <br />region and state's economy cannot be overstated. It is critical that every effort be made <br />to discourage incompatible land uses that impair the ability of the airport to operate as <br />an essential public facility. <br />Thank you again for the opportunity to comment.
