EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />(a) Heavy Industrial: Areas where heavy manufacturing or industrial uses are established and <br />are expected to continue, including the Boeing aircraft assembly plant, the Port of Everett <br />deepwater marine terminal and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Delta yard. <br />(b) Maritime Services: Areas oriented to Everett's marine waterfront where a "working <br />waterfront" exists or is to be promoted along with other compatible forms of marine related <br />commerce and services, and in which to further the City's goals of improving public access to the <br />shoreline and expanding waterfront recreational opportunities. <br />(c) Light Industry: Areas where a wide variety of industrial, heavy commercial, and business <br />park activities may occur that do not have the potential impacts of heavy industrial uses. <br />(d) Office and Industrial Park: Areas where a high quality, campus style of office and industrial <br />park development can occur on large parcels of land. <br />Policy 2.3.5 All industrial developments should be designed and developed to promote easy <br />access for employees using public transit, and the physically disabled. <br />Policy 2.3.6 All industrial developments should be operated so as to minimize impacts on <br />surrounding land uses, especially residential land uses. <br />Policy 2.3.7 Limit the non -industrial use of industrial lands to uses that are of a type, size and <br />number so as to be complementary to industrial activities, and that do not deplete the supply of <br />industrial land, and do not create potential land use conflicts with industrial activities. <br />Policy 2.3.8 Protect industrial lands from encroachment by other land uses that would reduce <br />the economic viability of industrial lands. <br />Policy 2.3.9 Industrial lands located adjacent to streets designated as "gateway corridors" <br />shall be developed in a manner that improves the appearance of the arterial corridor in <br />accordance with the Urban Design & Historic Preservation Element, or other approved urban <br />design plans for the street(s) upon which the property is located. <br />Policy 2.3.10 In order to promote greater land use compatibility with adjoining properties <br />designated "Office and Industrial Park," land designated "Heavy Manufacturing" which has <br />direct access to Hardeson Road shall have greater limitations on the range of permitted heavy <br />industrial uses than otherwise allowed in the M-2 zone. Site development shall provide a <br />substantial evergreen buffer within or adjacent to the Merrill and Ring Creek stream corridor so <br />as to create an attractive gateway corridor and to screen the heavy industrial uses from the office <br />and industrial park zoning on the east side of Hardeson Road. <br />Prohibited uses in this area include: Asphalt or concrete batch plants, vehicle impound yards, <br />truck maintenance services except as accessory use to a permitted transportation activity, <br />uses requiring outdoor storage of bulk or raw materials that cover more than 50% of the lot <br />area, petroleum refineries, cement manufacturing, blast furnaces, smelting, drop forge <br />industries, fertilizer manufacture, sanitary landfills, solid waste transfer stations, waste to <br />LAND USE ELEMENT 25 <br />
