4.4 Urban Maritime Purpose To provide an area for the intense development of maritime activities such as marinas, boating and fishing businesses, and supporting heavy commercial and industrial uses, along with a wide mix of compatible water -oriented commercial and recreational uses, and public access while protecting and restoring ecological functions. Limited nonwater-oriented uses should be allowed when part of a mixed-use development that incorporates public access and ecological restoration. Classification Criteria 1. Areas used for intensive water -oriented port activity, including commercial, industrial and recreational uses, but excluding those areas used primarily for deep -draft, ocean going vessels. 2. Areas that have adequate utilities and access to support intensive urban shoreline development. Area Designated (See Figure 4.3) The area extending from the north property line of the US Naval Station Everett to the south property line of Parcels 0729 054 001 00 (Jeld-Wen), 0729 051 004 00 (Jeld-Wen) and 0729 051 012 00 (Sterling Asphalt/CSR).

Vision Statements Existing Marina Area: This area shall retain working waterfront components, with priority given to a mix of maritime uses that support the marina. A wide mix of compatible water -oriented commercial uses, public access, recreational use, and supporting activities will also be encouraged. Any large-scale redevelopment of this area shall be guided by a master plan that gives priority to preservation and enhancement of the marina and its supporting uses. The master plan shall also encourage public access to and enjoyment of the shorelines and emphasize attractive, people oriented mixed-use development with significant public access, abundant public parking a plaza or public center area, and separation between pedestrians and automobiles encouraging public movement. The master plan shall orient buildings and facilities to maximize visual access to the river channel, marina and shoreline pathway system. The mix of uses may include both water - oriented and nonwater-oriented commercial / retail, office, hotel, public facilities, public access and ample public pathways and walkways. North of Boat Launch to South End of Sterling Asphalt/CSR Property: Because of its proximity to existing public services, this area should be reserved for future
