Policy 2.76.13 The City shall not allow urban development to occur unless the potable water,sanitary sewer and transportation facilities required to provide service to the new development are available,without reducing the service to existing developments below adopted level-of-service standards. Development may be allowed to proceed without other types of public capital facilities being in place, provided that the City ensures that the other facilities will not deteriorate to unacceptable levels. Policy 2.76.24 Capital facilities and utilities shall be located in areas where they are needed to best serve the citizens of Everett, as determined by land availability and the financial capabilities of the City. However,the City shall attempt to locate new capital facilities in close proximity to the areas planned to accommodate additional growth in order to ensure adequate capacity and promote the redevelopment of such areas. Policy 2.7.5 Capital facilities that are accessed by the public should be located in areas acce-sible with multiple modes of transportation. Policy 2.67.63 The City shall coordinate the siting of public facilities and utilities of a regional or countywide nature with the other jurisdictions in Snohomish County in order to ensure that each community accepts responsibility for hosting necessary facilities,and that a disproportionate share of such facilities do not continue to be located in Everett. The City may oppose siting of essential public facilities of a countywide or statewide nature within Everett if it feels that other jurisdictions have not responsibly accepted their fair share of such facilities. Policy 2.7.7 The City shall encourage c sential public facilities located within Everett to be dispersed evenly so as to avoid over concentration in certain areas. Policy 2.7.8 Those water,sewer,and transportation public facilities for which sites have previously been approved by the City shall not be subject to an additional siting process. In addition,facility locations that appear in updates or revisions to existing approved plans and do not involve major new facilities will also be exempt from additional siting processes.
