Ordinance 3454-15 with Exhibits A- C

EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Policy 2.11.3 Providence Regional Medical Center Everett (PRMCE). Providence Regional Medical Center Everett is a large institutional facility located in the Northwest Everett neighborhood. In 2008, City Council approved a Comprehensive Plan map amendment, along with master plans for hospital facility growth implemented through an Institutional Overlay zone. The PRMCE master plan provides for phased hospital development beyond 2030. The approved PRMCE expansion includes significant intensification of use on the existing hospital properties as well as expansion to the north across 13th Street. Future expansions will require additional review by the City, which may consist of amendments to the Institutional Overlay zone and Comprehensive Plan amendments. PRMCE must work with the surrounding neighborhood residents in planning future expansions. Any future expansions must use existing hospital properties more intensively. No further homes may be lost to hospital expansion beyond the approved Master Plan area. Future expansion to the east of Oakes Avenue beyond Block 248 is prohibited. Policy 2.11.4 Everett Community College / Washington State University Special Study Area. In 2008 the City approved an update of the Institutional Overlay Zone master plan for the Everett Community College (ECC) campus. In 2012, the State Legislature approved establishing Washington State University (WSU) in north Everett to provide upper division degrees and manage the University Center. While plans for the WSU presence in Everett have not been fully developed, it appears WSU will be located on the east side of Broadway, within the area covered by the ECC master plan. The ECC master plan provides for expansion to the east across North Broadway and to the south, in a small area west of Broadway. The Master Plan provided for construction of a North Everett Transit Center on the campus. Future expansions beyond the approved 2015 development will require additional review by the City, which may consist of amendments to the Institutional Overlay zone and Comprehensive Plan amendments. ECC must work with the surrounding neighborhood residents in planning future expansions. With the need for additional planning related to WSU in Everett and for ECC planning beyond the 2015 horizon of the current master plan, the City designates the college campus (as delineated by the ECC master plan, and potential expansion areas surrounding the campus, as a special study area. This special study area will be the subject of additional planning after the 2015 update of the City comprehensive plan. This planning process will require a review of the needs and plans for WSU, ECC and shall include consideration of potential land use changes for other properties for college related uses, such as student housing and other uses. The planning process shall include substantial public outreach to surrounding neighborhoods and property owners. Policy 2.11.5 Neighborhoods. Special plans for individual neighborhoods or groups of neighborhoods are not being proposed as part of the Land Use Element. However, as time and interest permit, more detailed study of specific neighborhoods may be initiated to address issues that may be important for one area but not to other neighborhoods. Such studies should be supplemental to the overall Land Use Element and may be used as the basis for amending land use designations, zoning boundaries or standards, or to reinforce or create a special character or architectural style desired for the particular area that may not otherwise be possible within the LAND USE ELEMENT 40
