Map The Land Use Map of the Land Use Element is the official map designating the desired land use pattern for the Everett of the future. The map graphically represents the Land Use Element policies as they are carried out in a preferred land use pattern throughout the Everett Planning Area. For example, many the goals of the Housing Element or Economic Development Element will be implemented by the type of land use designation given to an area by the Land Use Map. The goals of the Transportation Element will be better achieved when appropriate land use designations are given to specific areas. The funding of public facilities called for by the Capital Facilities Element can be more economically realized by proper land use designations. The map is only to be used in conjunction with the written policies of the comprehensive plan, as the policies indicate how the community wishes to implement its vision for the city, its goals and objectives for land use and the other related elements of the plan. When property has a Comprehensive Plan Map designation of 2.1 Schools/Churches, 2.2 College/University, 2.3 Cemetery, 2.4 Hospital and 2.8 Public/Quasi Public Facilities and there is a request to rezone a property, the process to be used shall be a Planning Commission/City Council review as a part of the annual Comprehensive Plan Update (Review Process VA). In situations where a proposed use is allowed under the existing zoning, it shall be processed under the established permit process, and the Comprehensive Plan map designation should be LAND USE ELEMENT 56
