These areas are to some degree constrained due to the restrictions of the SR 529 bridge and the presence of significant environmental features along certain sections of the river. In these areas, nonwater dependent and nonwater related uses shall be permitted within 200 feet of the ordinary high water mark provided such uses provide substantial public access and public enjoyment of the shoreline. Water dependent and water related uses shall be prohibited where they would require new dredging, fill, piers, or other significant modifications in areas designated Aquatic Conservancy. All nonwater dependent and nonwater related uses shall preserve and enhance existing native shoreline vegetation per the requirements of EMC 19.37 and shall provide environmental restoration when feasible. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 4; testimony of Mr. Jimerson) 4. The proposed project was subject to Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review pursuant to RCW 42.21.C. The City of Everett was designated as the lead authority, and the City's Responsible Official issued a final Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS) for the project on February 20, 2017. No appeals were filed of the SEPA determination. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 1; exhibit 6, Final MDNS; testimony of Mr. Jimerson) 5. Historically, the subject property was part of the Weyerhaeuser Corporation's operations that existed in north Everett. The site has been vacant since the demolition of the Weyerhaeuser Mill in the 1990's. Subsequent to the demolition of the mill and the termination of Weyerhaeuser's use of the property, the Port of Everett (Port) included the property as part of the Riverside Business Park which was approved with City of Everett Shoreline Permit SMA#99-002. The business park included the subject property. Fill was placed on the site to lift the site out of the 100-year flood plain and a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR-F) was issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
