EMC 19.37.010 User guide.
<br /> Many areas of Everett have been or may become designated, identified, inventoried,
<br /> classified or rated as critical areas by the city or other public agencies. This chapter
<br /> establishes regulations for development within or near all critical areas. If you are
<br /> interested in developing property identified as containing or adjacent to steep slopes,
<br /> lakes, streams, wetlands, springs, erosion hazard areas, landslide hazard areas, seismic
<br /> hazard areas, or other unstable soil conditions, you should read this chapter. This
<br /> chapter contains more stringent requirements than other provisions within this title for
<br /> affected properties. These regulations supersede any less restrictive requirements
<br /> contained elsewhere in this title. No action may be undertaken by any person which
<br /> results in any alteration of a critical area or its buffer unless such alteration is in
<br /> compliance with the requirements of this chapter. Alteration includes the terms "use"
<br /> and "development" as defined in this title, and includes any modification of the natural
<br /> environment of critical areas or their buffer including any clearing, grading, filling
<br /> and/or excavation. Certain exceptions to the requirements of this chapter are listed in
<br /> Section 37.050.
<br /> Maps of known critical areas are maintained by the city. However, the presence,
<br /> location and boundaries of all critical areas are not known. A site-specific analysis may
<br /> be required to determine the presence, location and classification of critical areas.
