Ordinance 2213-97 - Laserfiche WebLink

1.2 Mitigation Required by Existing Regulations All development must comply with the regulations and standards in effect at time of application, except as otherwise provided in this Mitigation Decision Document, including, but not limited to, the following: City of Everett Zoning Code (EMC Title 19) (Note that some standards may not apply to projects with previous approvals.) Drainage Ordinance and Stormwater Management Manual (Ordinance 2196-97) Design and Construction Standards and Specifications for Development Manual Binding Site Plan and Subdivision Ordinances (EMC Title 18) Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) Regulations Federal Air Regulation Part 77 and FAA Advisory Circular AC 70/7460-21 (Proposed Construction or Alteration of Objects that may Affect the Navigable Airspace) 1.3 Mitigation Measures 1. Height: All development with structures more than 200 feet in height and those within 20,000 feet of Paine Field must check with the FAA to determine if notification is required. (SEPA Land and Shoreline Use Policies) 2. Where buffers are required adjacent to residential areas, an analysis of hazardous trees in the buffer must be completed by a professional arborist. Any trees that are hazardous (i.e., are diseased, damaged or leaning and are likely to fall on development) must be removed prior to issuance of occupancy permits, and preferably, prior to construction of structures on the site. Where they would not create a hazard, the trunks of these trees must be left for snags. For each tree cut, three coniferous trees must be planted unless the Planning Director determines that adequate screening exists without the additional trees. However, for each tree left as a snag, one coniferous tree must be planted. The arborist must submit a tree removal and replacement plan to the Planning Department and mark in the field all trees to be removed. The Planning Department must approve the tree removal and replacement plan prior to any activity in the environmentally sensitive area. Large woody debris should be retained where it would not create a hazard, such as causing flooding due to alteration of the natural hydrology of a stream system. (SEPA Plant and Animal Policies and Land and Shoreline Use Policies) 3. Mukilteo School District Property. The City should revise the Zoning Code to eliminate requirements for Special Property Use hearings on the Mukilteo School District property for expansions or modifications to School District uses, since sensitive land uses are not located adjacent to the property. (SEPA Land and Shoreline Use Policies) 4. Views. When approving buffers adjacent to residential areas that allow views through the buffers from the development, the Planning Director shall ensure that the development will be substantially obscured from the residential areas. The Planning Director shall require view analysis as necessary. (SEPA Land and Shoreline Use Policies) 9
