Ordinance 3454-15 with Exhibits A- C

EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Adopt strong regulations for these areas addressing building design, effective street design, and a full range of amenities (e.g., parks / open space, "complete streets") that attract people of all ages to walk, bike and take transit. Separate pedestrians, bikes, and vehicles whenever possible. Review PSRC's Growing Transit Community's work when developing subarea plans and regulations for light rail stations and areas around regional bus rapid transit stations. Policy 10.11 New development should provide pedestrian connections between retail, living, and working places; transit connections and facilities; traffic calming and other safety-related improvements; sidewalks and trails; and pedestrian and bicycle amenities, as feasible or appropriate. Policy 10.12 Encourage and support programs such as the Office of Neighborhoods that develop community and provide social benefits that make Everett a more livable and desirable community. Policy 10.13 Support programs that increase the health and well-being of residents, such as the Snohomish Health District's Healthy Communities program that works to prevent chronic diseases by supporting healthy places to live, work and play. 2. Buildings and Energy Use Policy 10.14 Reduce GHG emissions through energy efficiency and use of low -carbon energy sources in buildings and site and infrastructure development. Support the State's goal to construct energy efficient homes and buildings that achieve the goal of building zero fossil -fuel greenhouse gas emission homes and buildings by the year 2031 (RCW 19.27A.020). Policy 10.15 Encourage installation of distributed energy resources, which are small-scale power generation technologies, typically in the range of 3 to 10,000 kW, located close to where electricity is used to provide an alternative to or an enhancement of the traditional electric power system. Policy 10.16 Create incentives to encourage increased energy efficiency and the use of sustainable building methods and materials, such as those specified under certification systems like LEED, Built Green, Salmon -Safe, Evergreen Sustainable Development Standard, Green Globes and Living Building Challenge. Examples include increased density, priority permit review, partial building permit fee rebates, press releases and awards Policy 10.17 Promote the adaptive reuse of existing buildings recognizing the emission - reduction benefits of retaining existing buildings instead of building new ones. 3. Solid Waste Reduction Policy 10.18 The City should continue to support neighborhood events such as garage sales that extend the useful life of items, and clean-ups that result in recycling of appliances, metals, yard waste, etc. CLIMATE CHANGE AND SUSTAINABILITY ELEMENT 4
