DETAILED SUMMARY STATEMENT: • The Central Waterfront Redevelopment Plan includes a vision for the redevelopment of the former . Kimberly-Clark mill site and other properties in the immediate vicinity, and proposes amendments to the • zoning regulations for the properties located within the planning area. This ordinance amends the zoning regulations of the M-2 zone for properties located west of West Marine View Drive,and of a few parcels located the Core Residential Area on the east side of West Marine View Drive. The changes to the M-2 regulations prohibit certain uses that are otherwise allowed in the M-2 zone, and include more detailed development and design standards intended to promote greater compatibility between new uses on the former KC mill site and the abutting neighborhoods to the east. Building height limits would be reduced from 80 feet to 50 feet, with possible exceptions for manufacturing activities requiring a greater building height. View corridors are established within the extension of east-west street rights-of- way. On-site public access is encouraged,but not required if it would be incompatible with water-dependent industrial uses. Regulations to promote compatibility with Naval Station Everett include the opportunity for • the Navy to review a comprehensive security and public safety plan at time of land use permit review. The ordinance also repeals the moratorium on land use and building permits that would otherwise expire February 15, 2013.
