9 <br /> Evergreen Way Revitalization Plan <br /> National chain restaurants, banks, and retail are found, along with independent <br /> businesses, such as ethnic groceries and restaurants and niche retail and services. <br /> Most developments are single story, but taller apartment complexes, hotels, and office <br /> buildings exist. <br /> Some clustering of land uses occurs. Major shopping centers are located near State <br /> Route 526, Everett Mall Way, and Airport Road. Medical facilities and offices tend to be <br /> found in the 41st Street node. Schools are located throughout the corridor, but fewer are <br /> located between the 112th Street node and Lynnwood. The south branch library and a <br /> City fire station are found in the 4th Avenue node. Car sales, repair, and retail are <br /> common throughout the corridor, but a particular clustering of RV uses occurs near <br /> Airport Road. <br /> Lack of Public Amenities. Public amenities, such as large parks, pocket parks and <br /> gathering spaces, community gardens, and recreational opportunities, are somewhat <br /> rare along the corridor. A major exception is the Interurban Trail, which is an amenity <br /> that can be accessed directly in some nodes, while bike routes connect some other <br /> nodes to it. Major public parks can be found within a mile of the corridor, such as Forest <br /> Park, Kasch Park, Lions Park, and Walter E. Hall Park, but parks are uncommon within <br /> the nodes and along Evergreen Way. Recreational fields for the schools, and some " <br /> ponds and lakes (e.g., Beverly Lake) provide visual open space, but are not readily <br /> accessible to the public. Undeveloped natural areas, stream corridors and wetlands can <br /> be found, especially in the southern-nodes. <br /> Residential Uses. The corridor also sustains a significant residential population, which <br /> is important for supporting neighborhood retail centers and high-quality, frequent transit. <br /> Of the nodes in the study area, the 112th Street and 4th Avenue West nodes have the <br /> greatest dwelling unit density in the 1/2 mile radius of the Swift BRT stations, with the <br /> Madison Street and Airport Road nodes not far behind. Within a 1/4 mile radius, the <br /> 112th Street node more than doubles the housing density of any other node. <br /> Zoning. The Evergreen Way/Highway 99 corridor is zoned to be a commercial strip. In <br /> the City of Everett, the zones adjacent to Evergreen Way are typically B-2 in the north <br /> and C-1 in the south. Both B-2 and C-1 zones allow a wide range of uses, including <br /> mixed-use commercial and multiple family land uses. <br /> Adjacent to the B-2 and C-1 zones, a range of residential zones are in place, from R-1, <br /> single family detached housing with 5 to 10 dwellings per gross acre, to R-4, which <br /> allows over 50 dwellings per acre. Multifamily housing is not allowed in R-1 or R-2 <br /> zones, and attached single family dwellings (townhouses) are allowed only in multi- <br /> family zones. <br /> A part of Everett's planning area for Evergreen Way is located in unincorporated <br /> Snohomish County. In this area the General Commercial (GC), Planned Community <br /> Business (PCB), and Community Business (CB) are prevalent, with some <br /> Pie <br />
