Policies and Actions <br /> Metro Everett is considered the regionally designated growth center for the city and Snohomish County. <br /> During the last plan update process, Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) and Snohomish County set growth targets for <br /> Everett. The city conditionally accepted these growth targets but believed the population targets were not realistic because they <br /> were inconsistent with market conditions. <br /> Although the city believes the population targets are not realistic, a commitment was made to complete a subarea plan for the <br /> center (Metro Everett). The challenge was to identify ways to "bend the trends" and accommodate a greater share of population <br /> and employment than recent trends suggest. <br /> During the update process for the city's comprehensive plan in 2015, the public strongly supported future job and housing <br /> growth within Metro Everett. The following land use policies and actions are intended to implement the vision for Metro <br /> Everett, and are organized around the following general goals: <br /> V Reduce barriers to infill and ;.,- `. <br /> ri rfV, C� , <br /> redevelopment <br /> V Redevelopunderutilized and blighted C� <br /> g iii� 1 i ks Fl0440 mat <br /> areas _ ii <br /> ✓ Activate commercial, mixed-use and .: , c 1 <br /> transit-oriented areas iii 1II 31'/ I <br /> ,,1,1:1 <br /> V Ensure compatibility =� � '_ i L i <br /> r r r------ <br /> . . . <br /> 9 <br /> Figure 4:Library Place-200 units,a recent example of urban center infill in Everett <br /> Chapter 4,Land Use 5 August 29,2018 <br />
