In this report, I <br /> will highlight concepts being explored as part of this subarea planning process. <br /> What is Metro Everett? <br /> Metro Everett is a diverse and large area, over one square mile, and includes the downtown business <br /> district, Everett Station area, portions of the Broadway corridor, and surrounding commercial and <br /> residential areas. For a map of Metro Everett,go to https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5731. <br /> Planning for Metro Everett was a commitment the City made to complete a subarea plan for the center <br /> after the 2015 update of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> What has been accomplished so far? <br /> City staff,with some consultant assistance, has been able to: <br /> • Complete an economic market evaluation- <br /> https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/6259 <br /> • Create conversation threads (living,working,visiting,getting around, urban design)- <br /> https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/6458 <br /> • Prepare a livability profile-https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/5833 <br /> • Identify target redevelopment areas- <br /> https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/6260 <br /> • Hold two public open house events- <br /> https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/6493, <br /> https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/6460 and <br /> https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/8182 <br /> • Create an Action Strategy Report as a catalyst for the area- <br /> https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/7724 <br /> Since our last update to City Council in September 2016,city staff has been working on some exciting <br /> ideas for the area.These ideas include: <br /> • Streetscape types based on the 2006 downtown plan to make the area more pedestrian friendly <br /> • Off-street parking that looks at new approaches to encourage less dependence on autos <br /> • Building heights which rethink the form of the metro area <br /> 12 <br />
