Everett to release final draft of comp plan
EVERETT — City staff are set to release a final draft of the comprehensive plan periodic update on May 30, planning staff said at the Wednesday council meeting.
The draft will incorporate changes based on public feedback made since a complete draft of the plan was published on April 7.
Changes to the comprehensive plan’s latest draft will include downzoning of certain neighborhoods where residents opposed changes, city planning director Yorik Stevens-Wajda said at Wednesday’s meeting.
Planning staff updated the zoning for two areas of the city — one near the Edgewater Bridge and another near American Legion Memorial Park — from a UR-4 zone to a neighborhood residential zone. Under the current comprehensive plan draft, UR-4 zones are set to have no maximum lot coverage — meaning buildings can take up more space on a property — and can be built one floor higher than buildings in neighborhood residential zones.
