BACKGROUND: <br /> The Decision of the City of Everett Imposing Mitigation Pursuant to SEPA on the Expansion of <br /> the Boeing/Everett Airplane Manufacturing Facility("Decision Document")was issued on July <br /> 3, 1991,and revised by City Council Resolution No. 3528, September 18, 1991. Addendum No. <br /> 7 of the Decision Document, issued on February 1,2001,required a cap of 21,000 on-site <br /> parking stalls and a cap of 35,000 on-site employees. <br /> Boeing and the City acknowledge the need for an updated system to the Decision Document to <br /> pay for actual traffic impacts as the Boeing facility changes and grows. Implementation of this <br /> new program will better track and mitigate for the actual increase in trip generation and require <br /> payments of mitigation traffic fees if the trip generation exceeds the amount for which Boeing <br /> has already paid mitigation. It is anticipated that this system will provide a more effective way <br /> for Boeing and the City to manage traffic impacts than the current system of limitations on the <br /> amount of on-site parking spaces and employees. <br /> Boeing has submitted the following documents related to this amendment: <br /> • Environmental Checklist prepared on 3/23/2017 <br /> • Attachment A - Map showing Boeing Main Site and access point vehicle counting <br /> locations <br /> • Attachment B -Final Cost Estimate for the Direct Count Program <br /> • Attachment C-A draft traffic study titled, "Proposed Methodology to Evaluate Boeing <br /> Driveway Counts for Determination of Mitigation Payments,"dated November 2013 by <br /> Gibson Traffic Consultants Inc. <br /> The City has reviewed the materials above and has accepted the general methodology. <br /> THE AGREEMENT: <br /> A final agreement will be signed by the City of Everett and Boeing. The draft agreement is <br /> shown as Exhibit 1 attached to this proposed decision document. <br /> CONSISTENCY WITH MODIFICATION CRITERIA IN BOEING MASTER <br /> DEVELOPMENT PLAN <br /> Article VIII.E of the Decision Document addresses modifications to the Boeing Master <br /> Development Plan. In order for the City to determine whether a proposed change is minor or <br /> major,the plan contains three review criteria. This section states: <br /> A change shall be considered to be major when one or more of the following is <br /> found: <br /> 1. The change is in substantial conflict with a condition imposed in this Decision Document, <br /> such as major modification of an on-site TDM provision, or reduction of required <br /> wetland protection; <br /> 2 <br />
