PLAN ELEMENTS g. Transfer of Development Rights from Significant Historic Properties to New Sites: On a square -foot -for -square -foot basis, developers can transfer unused floor area per maximum FAR with basic design standards as identified in Table 2 for the applicable historic site (sending site) to the proposed development site (receiving site) within the B-3 zone, provided all of the following conditions below are met. (1) The proposed development does not exceed the maximum FAR identified in Table 2. (2) The site sending is included in the existing historic properties listed in a survey of Everett's Historic Properties (revised and reprinted in 1996), Hewitt Ave Inventory (1989), Central Business District Inventory / Survey (1993) or is listed as the Everett, State, or National Register of Historic Properties. (3) The sending site (applicable historic property) must adhere to the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation for any changes to the building's exterior. Transfer of Development Rights from Other Properties: The City may in the future establish a Transfer of Development Rights program to enable the transfer of development from properties that are located outside the B-3 zone that may not be developed due to such properties' being significantly constrained by critical areas, being placed in an agricultural preservation program, being committed to permanent open space, or for such other reason as the City may deem appropriate. Should such a program be established, the development rights allowed to be transferred from such properties may be applied to a receiving site in the B-3 zone in accordance with provisions to be established as part of such a program.
