2 <br /> The Growth Management Act requires that the Land Use Element include population densities and building <br /> intensities.address the intensity of development desired for different areas. Building intensity is commonly <br /> expressed in a variety of manners,such as building bulk,building height,lot coverage,floor ar a ratios,and open <br /> space ratios. <br /> Policy 2.113.1 The densities,lot coverage and building intensities are expressed in a range in the following <br /> table. Permitted densities and building intensities in specific zones are regulated by the zoning code. Permitted <br /> density and building intensities will vary by zoning districts. There may be multiple zones within a specific land <br /> use designation listed in the table. Not all zones will be allowed to develop to the maximum intensities stated in <br /> the table.Te-peitted building intensities for the Everett Planning Area shall be allowed as currently specified <br /> by the Everett Zoning Code. The zoning standards shall be evaluated and periodically revised as necessary to <br /> implement the land use concepts desired for all portions of the Everett Planning Ar a. <br /> I fli ,!I!' i. e! • r 11; � ,, <br /> - <br /> • No more than 40%lot <br /> Residential,Single Family 5 to 15 units per gross coverage 11,415 acres <br /> acre <br /> • Up to 3 stories <br /> • No more than q5%lot <br /> Residential,Multifamily 1S to unlimited units coverage 2,28 acres <br /> per gross acre 6% <br /> • Up to zo stories <br /> Metropolitan Center <br /> 15 to unlimited units • Unlimited lot coverage 672 acres <br /> per gross acre • Up to 25 stories 2% <br /> Commercial Mixed Use 15 to unlimited units • Unlimited lot coverage 2,icc acres <br /> per gross acre • Up to io stories 6% <br /> • Unlimited_lot <br /> Industrial o to 1c units per gross coverage c,143 acres <br /> acre 15% <br /> • Up to 8 stories <br /> lot <br /> o to 2 units pergross • No more than 40°�0 14357 acres <br /> Local Resource Lands acre coverage 40% <br /> • Up to 3 stories <br /> Policy 2.131.2 Take city action or provide incentives for property owners to aggregate land to facilitate <br /> development in the urban center and other subareas planned for higher densities,including the Core Residential- <br /> Areas, E 1 MUD and BMU zones.

The SWSA includes more than ii,000 acres in the <br /> southern portion of the City comprising of 20 major drainage basins and was the planning area for the 2017 <br /> Surface Water Comprehensive Plan(SWCP).The SWSA is managed by the Surface Water Program in the Public <br /> Works Department. The SWCP provided updates to basin plans first developed in the iq8os and 199os as well as <br /> programmed improvements for water flow,water quality,and habitat issues. <br /> The SWSA's stormwater component is the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System(MS4),which is a <br /> network of conveyances such as pipes and ditches,flow control facilities such as detention ponds,and water <br /> LAND USE ELEMENT,2019 Amendment 36 <br /> 102 Exhibit 1-Page 36 <br />
