The Existing Plans Alternative assumes development occurring consistent with the Comprehensive Plan <br /> adopted by Everett in 1994 for the planning area and current market trends. It includes a forecast for <br /> employment of about 50,000 for the SW Everett/Paine Field Subarea for the year 2012. The Slower <br /> Growth Alternative assumes that less employment growth occurs in the SW Everett/Paine Field <br /> Subarea by 2012. It forecasts about 2/3 to 3/4 of the growth rate that is assumed in the GMA <br /> Comprehensive Plan EIS for the Southwest Everett/Paine Field Subarea, or an employment level of <br /> about 45,000 by the year 2012. The Faster Growth Alternative assumes very aggressive employment <br /> growth in the SW Everett/Paine Field Subarea, forecasting a level of at least 55,000 by the year 2012 <br /> and reaching 83,000 by the year 2030. Less employment growth would occur in other areas in the <br /> Everett Planning Area than forecast in the GMA Comprehensive Plan, including downtown IIIIIEMIEIEEIIIIIBiiir*.00*q.#iip$gfflpt000tigmmopmnmomommom <br /> :::::i::• :::i:i:•i:•i:•i:•ii:•i:•i}iii}iiiiiiiiiiiiiii: ':i.. ::i::i::i::i::i::i::i::ii::i: <br /> 45,029 > > > > > >5:8,000 >'» <br /> Figure 2.3-3 shows the 2012 and 2030 employment forecasts for all three alternatives. <br /> Figure 2.3-3 <br /> Employment Forecasts by Alternative <br /> 90000 <br /> 80000 <br /> 70000 <br /> 60000 <br /> 50000 <br /> 40000 <br /> 30000 <br /> —�—Existing Plans <br /> 20000 <br /> 10000 Slower Growth <br /> 0 <br /> 1995 2012 2030 ——Faster Growth <br /> 10 <br />
