Ordinance 2213-97 - Laserfiche WebLink

E. Upon designation by the Director that the project qualifies as a planned action, the project shall not be subject to a SEPA threshold determination, an environmental impact statement, or any additional review under SEPA. F. For purposes of the City's Administrative Procedures Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2136-96 as amended), a determination that a project qualifies as a planned action shall be defined as a Review Process I decision. No appeal of the Director's determination that a project qualifies as a planned action is provided. G. The determinations and notice for land use applications shall be provided as set forth in Ordinance No. 2136-96 or other applicable land use permit or regulatory requirements under City ordinances, unless explicitly modified by this ordinance, and state or federal laws. However, projects which qualify as planned actions will not be subject to further procedural review under SEPA. H. The planned actions authorized and designated by this ordinance shall be limited to those land uses which are within the Southwest Everett Subarea Plan and EIS. I. Being designated a planned action means that a proposed project has been reviewed in accordance with this ordinance and procedures and found to be consistent with the plan and environmental analysis. The significant environmental impacts have been analyzed as a part of the plan, and mitigation measures have been identified, including but not limited to compliance with existing City ordinances and codes except as specifically modified for the Southwest Everett Subarea in this planned action ordinance. J. Planned actions will not be subject to further procedural review under SEPA. However, projects will be subject to conditions designed to mitigate any environmental impacts which may result from the project proposal, and projects will be subject to whatever permit requirements are deemed appropriate by the City under state and City laws and ordinances. The planned action designation shall not excuse a project from meeting the City's land use permit requirements apart from the SEPA process. Section 4: Disqualified Projects Projects which are not consistent with the comprehensive plan and zoning designations in the Subarea Plan shall not be considered as planned actions, but may proceed through another permit process, and may use or incorporate relevant elements of the environmental review analysis done for the Southwest Everett Subarea Plan. Section 5: Environmental Documents A planned action designation for a site-specific land use permit application shall be based on the environmental analysis contained in the Southwest Everett Subarea Plan and EIS adopted by the Everett City Council on March �6. , 1997, or as hereafter amended. This Subarea Plan and EIS, including potential mitigation measures, are hereby incorporated in this ordinance and adopted by reference. The mitigation decision document, attachment "A" to this ordinance, is based upon the analysis in the EIS. The mitigation decision document, together with existing City codes, ordinances, and standards, shall provide the framework for the decision by the City to impose conditions on a planned action project. Other environmental documents and studies listed in the Subarea Plan and EIS may also be used to assist in analyzing impacts and determining appropriate mitigation measures in accordance with Section 6 of this ordinance.
