Ordinance 3613-18 - Laserfiche WebLink

UD-8: Design and development standards should discourage and/or prohibit auto-oriented uses when located more than a quarter mile from the 1-5 corridor in commercial and light industrial zones, and should not be permitted in residential zoned areas. Industrial Uses UD-9: Areas within Metro Everett designated for Urban Light Industrial are also areas where other uses will mix, including residential and commercial. Design and building orientation of industrial development must be appropriate for the surrounding neighborhood and street type designation. Institutional and Civic Buildings UD-1 0: Building design at the edges of institutional and civic property should be complementary to neighboring properties, yet recognize that in some circumstances greater height and mass may be preferable to expansion beyond existing campus boundaries. Transit-oriented Streets UD-I I: Buildings and sites located on streets designated as transit-oriented (see Figure 23 in Chapter Four, Land Use) should be required to provide safe, accessible, convenient and lighted way-finding to transit stops and transit stations. Off-street Parking UD-I 2: Discourage surface parking lots on pedestrian and transit-oriented-development streets. Any permitted surface parking lots as part of redevelopment or infill projects should be required to be setback from street frontages behind building forms, or buffered with landscaping or public open spaces. UD-1 3: New structured parking should be setback from street right-of-way with habitable spaces used by tenants of the building. In addition, any new stand-alone parking structures should incorporate commercial or retail uses along the majority of sidewalk frontages. Signs UD-1 4: Adopt sign standards which maintain visual aesthetics, but also reflect the character of the street type, land use designations and historic significance of the building and/or district.
