PURPOSE OF THE LAND USE ELEMENT <br /> The Land Use Element establishes the framework for the city's future physical development and provides a guide <br /> for the distribution,type and intensity of various uses of land within the Everett Planning Area. The Land Use <br /> Element is the most important clement of the Comprehensive Plan because it is the basis for the decisions that <br /> must be made for all other elements of the plan. All elements of the comprehensive plan must be consistent with <br /> the Land Use Map. The Land Use Element(both maps and policies)serves as a guide to future decision making <br /> relating to property investments,land development,public services,and infrastructure. The policies and maps of <br /> the Land Use Element influence land development regulations,zoning boundaries,and land use permit decisions. <br /> LAND USE ELEMENT, 2019 Amendment 1 <br /> Exhibit 1-Page 1 <br />
