EXHIBIT 1 TO ORDINANCE <br /> f. Cabinet signs except that the Planning Director may approve cabinet signs for tenants <br /> that are consistent with the overall intent of these standards,the design guidelines, <br /> and the comprehensive signage plan. Cabinet signs shall be incorporated into the <br /> architecture of the building and not be surface mounted on a wall as an attachment to <br /> the building. <br /> g. No off-premise signs, except public directional and site identification signs are <br /> permitted <br /> h. Back-lit translucent awnings. <br /> F. Landfill Site Landscaping and Screening Requirements <br /> 1. User guide. <br /> Development on the landfill pad poses significant challenges which impact the feasibility <br /> of implementing many of the landscape requirements as outlined in the EMC. Most <br /> significantly any improvements must be designed to avoid water infiltration. Therefore, <br /> the following requirements have been established to provide more feasible standards to <br /> achieve an effective landscape plan with optimal results given the challenges <br /> development atop a landfill poses. For the purposes of this project the following <br /> requirements supersede any conflicting codes found under the EMC. <br /> The attached Landscape Category Diagrams (Figures 1 and 2) designate particular <br /> landscape categories for each specific area within this project. The landscape categories <br /> are Central Gathering, Riverfront Boulevard, , Parking Field, and Buffers. This chapter <br /> establishes the requirements for each landscape category and the minimum landscaping <br /> requirements for all uses. It also establishes minimum buffers between certain uses, and <br /> provides a method for modification of the requirements of this chapter. <br /> 2. Purpose. <br /> Landscaping will serve both an aesthetic and environmental function as it is intended to <br /> provide visual interest, soften the appearance of development, and achieve soil stability to <br /> prevent erosion. The purpose of this chapter is to enhance compatibility between land <br /> uses and zones; screen undesirable views which have a blighting effect upon adjoining <br /> streets and properties; provide a visual buffer and physical separation between land uses <br /> of varying intensities on abutting properties; minimize the impacts of noise, light and <br /> glare;temper the extremes of microclimates;provide privacy; reduce dust; reduce the <br /> visual monotony of large expanses of paved parking lots; implement the policies of the <br /> Everett general plan; reduce storm water runoff and pollution of surface waters, reduce <br /> erosion and sedimentation; conserve energy; aid in regulating vehicle circulation; and <br /> improve vegetation to the extent feasible. <br /> 3. Application of this chapter. <br /> The planning department shall review and may approve, disapprove or approve with <br /> modification all site/landscape plans for all uses and developments which are required to <br /> provide landscaping in accordance with the requirements of individual zones and the <br /> provisions of this chapter. This chapter shall apply under the following circumstances: <br /> F - 13 <br /> FINAL ATT F.DOC <br /> 10/21/2008 <br />
