EXHIBIT 1 TO ORDINANCE c. EMC Title 18 Land Division regulations are modified as follows: i. 18.28.050 B.2 Public Use Reservations. Delete the last sentence that reads: "For single-family lots, no individual lot shall contain less than four thousand five hundred square feet after the dedication, excluding access easements." Consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Everett Comprehensive Plan which encourage greater density within urban growth areas,there may be proposals for smaller lots (smaller than 4,500 SF). ii. 18.28.080 Landscaping requirements. Delete subsections B2 and E which require a fence or hedge in the access drive buffer on a common property line adjacent to contiguous property. This requirement could be challenging and undesirable when doing an auto court type design. It also calls for 4-foot high fences which conflicts with the proposed Residential Design Guidelines which encourage fences under 3 feet 6 inches in certain areas. iii. 18.28.220 Sign requirements. Delete subsection B which requires that"the sign identification name must be the same as the name of the recorded subdivision approved and on file in the Snohomish County auditor's office." The name recorded with the plat often does not match the marketing name. iv. 18.28.250 Yard areas. Revise subsection A to reduce the required yard area to 225 square feet of private useable yard area, provided that(a)the required front and side yard setback areas shall not count towards any open space requirement; and(b) the open space shall be large enough to provide functional leisure or recreational activity and be no less than 15 feet in width and depth. v. 18.28.250 Yard Areas. Subsection D will not apply. (This subsection allows the applicant to propose and the Director approve a reduction of up to fifty percent of the required yard area if an alternative such as additional common recreation area is provided.) d. EMC 19.07 is superseded by the Everett Riverfront District Zoning Standards and Residential Design Guidelines. e. The Special Regulations in Table 5.1 in EMC 19.5 are not applicable. 4. Maximum Building Height. Maximum height limits shall be per the PDO site plan as follows: • Simpson: 35' • Eclipse: 65' • Buildings with roofs pitched at least 5:12 may exceed height limits by up to ten feet. 5. Off-street Parking. The following minimum parking requirements apply, rather than the numbers in EMC 19.34: a. Multi-family, and attached single-family: 1 parking space per unit with one or fewer bedrooms, and 1.5 parking spaces per unit with two or more bedrooms. b. Cottage housing(under 1500 square feet): 1 space per unit. c. Detached single-family units: 2 parking spaces per unit. F - 11 FINAL ATT F.DOC 10/21/2008
