Exhibit A to Ordinance No. Central Waterfront Redevelopment Plan • How potential future uses may affect surrounding uses,downtown and the community • Environmental cleanup requirements • Clean and sustainable uses B. Properties in the Central Waterfront Planning Area Property owners in the Central Waterfront Planning Area include Kimberly-Clark,BNSF,the City of Everett,the Snohomish PUD No. 2,and four private owners. See Figure B. The vast majority of the area is Kimberly-Clark owned property zoned M-2 located west of West Marine View Drive. Kimberly-Clark also owns parcels east of West Marine View Drive that are currently used for parking,but are zoned multiple family. The multiple family zoned properties are subject to either the Rucker-Grand-Historic Overlay Zone standards or the Core Area Residential Design Guidelines. See Figure C for zoning designations. Two privately owned parcels located south of the Kimberly-Clark mill site(Ronan and Mobil Oil Corp.) are zoned M-2 and are large enough to accommodate industrial uses;however,uses cannot be water-dependent since the parcels are separated from the water's edge by property owned by the Port of Everett and by the Federal Avenue right-of-way. A privately owned parcel located between West Marine View Drive and the BNSF right-of-way has historically been used for parking for the abutting Milltown Credit Union building,which is located on land owned by Kimberly-Clark. This parcel is probably too small to support a viable industrial use under the current M-2 zoning. A privately owned parcel of land located on the southeast corner of West Marine View Drive and 25th Street is zoned B-1 (Neighborhood Business) and has had a history of use as a convenience store,boat repair business,and other commercial uses.
