Conversion of industrial land in Southwest Everett could only occur if it is determined.• <br />1. Industrial land is not needed for lobs, <br />2. Is converted and implemented through the Planned Development Overlay zone Master Plan <br />process, <br />3. Is determined to be a public benefit, <br />4. Is determined to be a high quality development which would improve the surrounding <br />areas, and <br />5. Will not affect amort operations or other industrial properties or uses and is considered <br />compatible with airport operations and / or industrial uses. <br />See needed change. <br />Policy 2.11.9, d) ManufacturingAndustrial Center. The southwest Everett - Paine Field <br />area is the major manufacturing and industrial area for Snohomish County. The intent of <br />designating this area as a "manufacturing/industrial center" is to emphasize the importance of <br />this area for the economic health of the county and region. This area is intended to experience <br />even more intensive development with manufacturing, industrial and other compatible land uses. <br />No change needed. <br />Southwest Everett Subarea Plan <br />Note: In 1997, the SW Everett Subarea Plan was adopted and incorporated into the <br />Comprehensive Plan. The plan represented a new approach to planning that integrated the <br />environmental protection measures under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and the <br />planning requirements under the Growth Management Act (GMA). <br />The Sub Area Plan States: <br />The plan encompasses an area of almost 4000 acres, including Paine Field, although Paine <br />Field is not in the City of Everett, and is no longer included in Everett's Urban Growth Area. It <br />borders on Everett, contains industrial lands and has proposed a wetland mitigation bank within <br />Everett's limits, and its inclusion gives a broader information base for analysis of environmental <br />systems and impacts. <br />Staff analysis: <br />The SW Everett Sub Area Plan and EIS would need to be revised to account for the loss of a <br />portion of the CEMEX site. Maps in the Plan and EIS would need to be changed, and current <br />average employment forecasts for the area would need to be revised down from the 2012 and <br />2030 estimates. Micro analysis zones 140.0 and 152.0 would need to be reduced in size <br />(allocation components) and presumably folded into surrounding analysis zones.
