COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 3, 2018 SUBJECT: Development Agreement for Lot 1 of the Affinity at Arlington LLC. Binding Site Plan, a Mixed Use Development ATTACHMENTS: Development Agreement, Copy of AMC 20.39‐ Development Standards, and Binding Site Plan Map DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN Community and Economic Development EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: 0 BUDGET CATEGORY: 0 BUDGETED AMOUNT: 0 LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: Proposed Development Agreement for Affinity at Arlington LLC,Lot 1, of the Affinity at Arlington Binding Site Plan, a Mixed Use Development, describing certain conditions and allowing for the use of the projects traffic mitigation fees to be utilized for the construction of 169th St NE., including intersection, signalization and frontage improvements on Smokey Point Blvd. HISTORY: Development Agreements are typically utilized to ensure that certain terms and/or conditions are being met. The City requested that 169th St. NE be constructed as a development condition for the property located at the 6900 Blk. of Smokey Point Blvd. The applicant, Affinity at Arlington LLC., is dedicating the Right of Way for the 169th St. alignment to install ¾ street improvements, along with a Right of Way dedication along Smokey Point Blvd. to construct future frontage improvements, to the City of Arlington from the subject property. The requirement to dedicate and construct 169th St. NE and the associated improvements would be burdensome upon the development. The City acknowledges this and has agreed to allow credit of mitigation fees, in lieu of payment, to be applied to the construction of 40th Ave. NE. This Development Agreement memorializes that item, as well as clarifies some additional requirements related to the project. In this instance, the Developer has requested that each Lot within the Affinity at Arlington Binding Site Plan receive its own individual Development Agreement as development occurs. This agreement addresses Lot 1 of 4. Per AMC 20.39.040 a public hearing shall be held prior to a decision by City Council on Development Agreements. A public hearing is to be held at the regular City Council meeting on December 3, 2018. City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item: PH #1 Attachment D ALTERNATIVES: Remand back to staff for additional information. RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to approve the Development Agreement for Lot 1 of the Affinity at Arlington LLC Binding Site Plan. Development Agreement 1   AFTER RECORDING, RETURN TO: CITY OF ARLINGTON 18204 59TH AVENUE NE ARLINGTON, WA 98223 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT DEVELOPER(S): Affinity at Arlington LLC. GRANTEE(S): City of Arlington, Washington LEGAL (Abbrev.): The West 12 acres of the South 528 feet of the North 1,056 feet of the Northwest Quarter of Section 28, Township 31 North, Range 05 East. W.M. Lot 1, of the Affinity at Arlington Binding Site Plan ASSESSOR'S TAX#: 31052800200500 REFERENCE #: Affinity at Arlington LLC Binding Site Plan -PLN#451 The parties to this agreement are the City of Arlington, a Washington municipal corporation ("City"), and Affinity at Arlington, LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“Developer"). All references herein to Developer shall be deemed to include any successors and/or assigns of Affinity at Arlington LLC. The parties do enter into the following agreement to promote the development of certain real property located within the City, upon the following terms and conditions ("Agreement"). 1.0 RECITALS 1.1 Location of Property. Developer warrants that it controls certain real property located at 3721 169th St., ARLINGTON, WA 98223, being more particularly described in Exhibit A (hereafter “the Property”). 1.2 Zoning. The Property is zoned Highway Commercial (HC) and located within a Mixed Use Overlay Zone, which allows the property to be utilized proportionately for both commercial/retail and high density residential uses. 1.3 Permanent Use. The Developer wishes to develop a multi-family residential apartment community on the Property in accordance with the City’s Mixed Use Development Regulations, Chapter 20.110 AMC, Ordinance No. 2017-021, adopted on December 28, 2017 (“Mixed Use Development Regulations”). Development Agreement 2   1.4 Binding Site Plan. As part of the proposed development, the Developer has filed a Binding Site Plan Application, filed under City File No. PLN# 451 – BSP (“the Project”). Through this application, the Developer seeks approval of a Binding Site Plan that will fix and establish the development of the Property in a form that is consistent with the requirements of the City. The Binding Site Plan proposes a division of the 11.14 acres into four (4) lots (Lots 1-4), with Lots 3-4 (comprised of 1.51 acres) being developed for commercial/retail development, Lot 1 (comprised of 5.36 acres) being developed for multi- family senior apartments and Lot 2 (comprised of 2.56 acres) being proposed as some form of assisted living facility; and a total of 1.55 acres are being dedicated as public Right of Way (169th St. NE and Smokey Point Blvd.). Each parcel will be required to apply for individual land use permits, but shall provide continuity in design features throughout the development of the individual parcels. The Binding Site Plan shall be referred to herein as the “BSP” or “Binding Site Plan.” 1.5 Use of Traffic Impact Fees. As a condition of the Binding Site Plan, the City and the Developer, with the consent of the property owner of all of the property within the BSP other than the Property, have agreed that 169th St. NE, an east-west connector street between Smokey Point Blvd. and the future connection with 51st Ave. NE, will be constructed as a public roadway by the Developer. The Developer is only obligated to construct the 169th St. roadway from Smokey Point Blvd. to the eastern terminus of the Affinity project, but does include the required intersection improvements at Smokey Point Blvd. (the “Road Improvements” – as further defined in Section 3.1 below). The City has agreed to allow Developer to construct the Road Improvements in lieu of paying traffic impact fees associated with the development of lots 1-4 (the “TIF Credits”). To the extent the TIF Credits exceed the total amount allowed for the construction of the Road Improvements (the “Allowed Construction Amount”), the developer of Lot 2 and 3 may also utilize traffic impact fees for the frontage improvements along Smokey Point Blvd. that abut Lots 2 and 3 (the “Frontage Improvements”). To the extent the Allowed Construction Amount exceed the TIF Credits, the excess shall be imposed as traffic impact fees on the future development of Lots 2, 3 and/or 4 and paid in cash to the City. 1.6 Dedication. The dedication of real property for Public Right of Way purposes (to construct the Road Improvements and Frontage Improvements) must occur on or before issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any project proposed in the Development. The Developer shall provide performance security for the Road Improvements in a form acceptable to the City per AMC 20.12 Part IX.-Security Mechanisms, until such time as the Road Improvements are accepted by the City of Arlington. The Frontage Improvements are deferred until the development of either Lot 2 or 3 (and the responsibility of the developer of Lot 2 or 3). 1.7 Benefits. The City recognizes the public benefits which will occur from the permanent development of the property as proposed by the Developer, including the Road Improvements. Likewise, Developer recognizes the benefit of this agreement allowing the use of traffic impact fees to construct the Road Improvements in lieu of paying said fees in cash. Development Agreement 3   1.8 Consistency with Development Regulations. The City and the Developer wish to ensure that the Property will be developed in accordance, specifically, with the provisions of the Mixed Use Development Regulations, and the Binding Site Plan., in compliance with all applicable City codes, plans, and development regulations, and in a manner acceptable to the City.

The size and range of uses authorized for any nonresidential development within the project: A minimum of fifty percent (50.0%) of the land included within the Binding Site Plan shall be developed for residential purposes, and the balance may be utilized for non-residential development permitted under the City’s zoning code. i. The minimum and maximum number of residential units for the project: The parties agree that maximum densities will be governed and limited by development requirements including, but not limited to, requirements for Open Space, Park/Civic Space, Parking, dimensional requirements, and the like.

The City agrees that in lieu of payment of the full amount of Transportation Impact Fees, the developer of each lot within the BSP should receive a credit for the cost of construction for the Road Improvements and, to the extent the credits exceed the cost of construction for the Road Improvements, for the required Frontage Improvements.

DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN CED EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: ‐0‐ BUDGET CATEGORY: ‐0‐ BUDGETED AMOUNT: ‐0‐ LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: The Arlington‐Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center (AMMIC) Subarea Plan is a culmination of the collaborative planning efforts of both Arlington and Marysville to adopt policies and provisions in their respective comprehensive and infrastructure functional plans to support planned industrial growth and development of the center. The plan is in alignment with regional plans and policies as well as compliant with the PSRC’s Regional Center Plans Checklist. City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item: PH #2 Attachment E HISTORY: A subarea plan is an application submittal requirement by the Puget Sound Regional Council, for regional designation as a Manufacturing Industrial Center. In October 2017 the Cities of Arlington and Marysville were successful in receiving a grant from the Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) to fund efforts in creating a Subarea Plan for the Arlington‐Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center (AMMIC). In January 2018 a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was advertised for consultants to create the Subarea Plan. Through a selection process, BERK Consulting Inc. was chosen and tasked with producing the plan, including an Existing Conditions Report to provide for guidance of both current and future growth of the AMMIC. While the entire AMMIC is addressed generically in the Subarea Plan, each City has some individual characteristics and nuances that are provided for in their version of the plan. The attached “Final Draft” of the report is a benchmark to build upon and should be considered as a “living document” to amend as the dynamics surrounding the AMMIC and the Puget Sound Region change and adapt to the ever‐changing economic environment. Along with the request to adopt the Subarea Plan is the request to amend the Arlington Comprehensive Plan, allowing for its incorporation by reference in the Comp Plan. With adoption of the AMMIC Subarea Plan’s, the Cities of Arlington and Marysville are ready to make joint application to the PSRC, in January 2019, for Regional Designation as a Manufacturing Industrial Center. ALTERNATIVES: Deny or remand back to staff for additional information. RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to adopt the Arlington‐Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center Subarea Plan and amend the Arlington Comprehensive Plan allowing for its incorporation into the Comprehensive Plan.

The Subarea Plan reflects city and community aspirations for the center and plans for anticipated growth. It supports business retention and growth, strengthens existing assets, expands transportation choices, and improves environmental conditions. This Subarea Plan is part of a longer sequence of planning work for the AMMIC. A market study was completed in 2016, and Arlington and Marysville have adopted policies and provisions in their comprehensive plans and infrastructure functional plans (water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, and transportation) that support planned industrial growth and development in the center. The Subarea Plan is aligned with regional plans and policies such as Snohomish County Countywide Planning Policies, and Puget Sound Regional Council Vision 2040. Building on the foundation provided by these plans and policies, the Subarea Plan identifies goals and policies to provide guidance for future growth and continued economic vitality in the center. The Plan’s growth targets and area boundaries meet PSRC and Snohomish County requirements for MIC jobs and size. The plan is also consistent with guidance provided in PSRC’s Regional Center Plans Checklist. The Cities are committed to implementing this Plan, achieving its growth targets, and strengthening the AMMIC’s function as a regional employment center. 1.1 THE ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC The Arlington-Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center consists of 4,019 acres located in Snohomish County, east of Interstate 5 and the Tulalip Reservation. The AMMIC is comprised of parcels within the Cities of Arlington and Marysville. ƒArlington: The Arlington portion of the AMMIC includes 2,291 acres. This includes the 737-acre City- owned and operated Arlington Municipal Airport (AWO). ƒMarysville: The Marysville portion of the AMMIC includes 1,728 acres. This includes the City of Marysville’s 2007 Smokey Point Master Planning Area of approximately 665 acres. 1.2 PUBLIC OUTREACH & ENGAGEMENT Public participation is an important aspect of the subarea planning process; feedback informed various stages of Plan development, from visioning, plan alternatives, goals and policies. This Plan’s public involvement program was designed to meet the following objectives: 1 ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN · CITY OF ARLINGTON OCTOBER 2018 DRAFT Exhibit 1 Arlington-Marysville MIC, 2018 Source: City of Arlington, 2018; City of Marysville, 2018; BERK, 2018. CITY OF ARLINGTON · ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN INTROdUCTION · OCTOBER 20182 DRAFT ƒLearn about community and business needs in the subarea. ƒKeep stakeholders informed on the status of the subarea planning process. ƒCreate a plan that has the support of the community and can guide City actions and private development over the next twenty years. Starting in April 2018, the Cities reached out to a broad range of stakeholders and invited them to participate in Plan development. Stakeholders included AMMIC businesses and property owners, public entities and agencies, potential developers, residents, and other interested parties. The various outreach efforts are detailed below. AMMIC Webpage The Subarea Planning webpage, located at https://www.arlingtonwa.gov/575/Manufacturing-Industrial- Center on the City of Arlington website, provides information on project status, meeting dates, published documents and analysis, contact people, and other key information. Stakeholder Interviews In September 2017, the project team conducted eight interviews with individual stakeholders, property owners, and business owners in the MIC. The interviews provided insights into the needs and concerns in the area as well as an opportunity to introduce and connect interviewees to the upcoming planning process. Interviewees included the following: ƒTerry Battuello, Port of Everett ƒJohn Case, Case Marine ƒFitz Couhig, Pioneer Nuggets ƒKevin McKay, Senior Aerospace ƒMatt Smith, EASC ƒSteve Miller, American Distributing ƒLinda Neunzig, Agriculture Coordinator, Snohomish County Executive's Office ƒBob Qualick, Universal Aerospace Online Community Survey In March 2018, an online survey was distributed to residents in both cities as well as business owners and employees in the MIC. This was a way to both increase awareness of the Subarea Planning process and gather input from people who could not attend in-person meetings. A total of eighty-four respondents provided feedback through the online survey. Their input underscored the needs and concerns raised through interviews. 3 ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN · CITY OF ARLINGTON OCTOBER 2018 · INTROdUCTION DRAFT Vision Public Workshop More than 80 property owners and community members attended the AMMIC Subarea Plan kickoff workshop on April 4, 2018 to learn about the project and provide input. The consultant team set up project boards including informational and interactive boards to receive public input. The public had opportunities to provide input through three ways: ƒAn open house where the consultant team was at hand to provide information and answer questions. There were also boards where points of interest or ideas for future improvements could be noted. ƒA facilitated large group discussion. ƒThree smaller group discussions, which involved a facilitated conversation and mapping activity. Advisory Committee Meetings In addition to these engagement activities, the Cities created an advisory group to review technical information, provide input and recommendations, and work collectively to refine components of the Subarea Plan. This group is comprised of senior technical staff from regional agencies, and AMMIC business and property owners. The advisory group met three times over the course of preparation of the Subarea Plan to provide input on substantive aspects of plan development. Draft Plan Public Workshop More than 80 property owners and community members attended the AMMIC Subarea Plan workshop on October 17, 2018 to provide input on the draft plan concepts. The consultant team set up project boards including informational and interactive boards to receive public input. The meeting included an open house, presentation, question and answer session and time for one-on-one discussion with City staff and consultants. Attendees were encouraged to provide input related to strengths and weaknesses in the Plan. Legislative Process On Month Day, 2018 the City of Arlington Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and made their formal recommendation to the City Council. CITY OF ARLINGTON · ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN INTROdUCTION · OCTOBER 20184 DRAFT 1.3 WHAT WE HEARD Engagement activities revealed several assets and opportunities in the AMMIC. These identified assets and opportunities summarized below informed the vision, guiding principles, and goals and policies of the Subarea Plan. Residents map out ideas at vision public meeting. 5 ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN · CITY OF ARLINGTON OCTOBER 2018 · INTROdUCTION DRAFT Assets The AMMIC has many assets that are essential to a successful industrial employment center. These include the following: Sites suitable for modern industry. Many industrial businesses need large, flat sites buffered from non-residential uses. The price of suitable land is also a major driver of industrial activity, since industrial businesses need large amounts of land for outdoor staging and other activities. Given this need, the presence of competitive, affordable sites suitable for modern industry is a key asset of the AMMIC. Easy access to regional transportation routes. Easy truck and freight access to suppliers and markets are key elements that influence the location preferences of industrial users. AMMIC’s proximity to regional transportation corridors such as I-5, SR 9, SR 531, and SR 530 makes it an attractive location for businesses. Recognized aerospace industry cluster. Snohomish County’s Paine Field and concentration of advanced manufacturing businesses support over 200 aerospace companies of all sizes in the county. Given its location in Snohomish County, proximity to Paine Field, existing concentration of aerospace businesses, access to skilled labor, and lower costs, the AMMIC enjoys a comparative advantage in the region for aerospace-related manufacturing and industrial activity. There are competitive advantages and agglomeration benefits from building and strengthening this established industry cluster, both for the cities and the region as a whole. Presence of Arlington Municipal Airport. The Arlington Municipal Airport is a unique asset to the AMMIC both as a transportation facility and as a land use. As a transportation facility it enables fast delivery of personnel and goods and as a land use it supports and attracts aerospace manufacturing and aviation related activities. Demand for general aviation and small aircraft manufacturing is strong in many regions across the world, but especially in rapidly growing markets in Asia-Pacific. As one of the few general aviation airports in the region, the Arlington Municipal Airport is a unique asset and opportunity for the AMMIC. Location near affordable workforce housing. Many businesses cited the supply of affordable workforce housing in Arlington and Marysville as a key asset and need. Approximately 45% of AMMIC employees live less than 10 miles of the subarea, reflecting the appeal of the immediate vicinity for employees. ARLINGTON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT The Arlington Municipal Airport is a regional general aviation facility which started operations in 1935. It supports a variety of industrial activities that rely on proximity to the airport. These include aircraft and aircraft parts manufacturers, aviation schools, aircraft repair shops, aviation research and testing laboratories, emergency parachute manufacturing, kit plane and sailplane sales and manufacturing, historic and decommissioned aircraft restoration, aircraft upholstery, and aircraft cover manufacturing. The airport is home to corporate jets, decommissioned military jets, vintage aircraft, experimental aircraft, aerobatic aircraft, helicopters, gliders, and ultralights. Land use compatibility is key aspect of planning around airports. Compatibility regulations balance the need to prohibit uses that may be harmed by proximity to the airport (such as housing and places of public assembly) and to retain and attract uses that benefit from being close to the airport (such as aviation related industrial activities). CITY OF ARLINGTON · ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN INTROdUCTION · OCTOBER 20186 DRAFT Expansion of Paine Field. Paine Field Airport in Everett is slated to start hosting commercial flights in early 2019. The airport is expected to accommodate up to 2,350 daily passengers and connect to destinations such as Denver, Portland, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and several cities in California. Market interest in industrial land is expected to increase as flights begin to operate and Paine Field offers an alternative to SeaTac Airport. Opportunities The subarea planning process provided an opportunity to address the input from the community on ways to ensure the AMMIC develops as a successful industrial employment area. Opportunities for enhanced policy direction include: Improvements to Infrastructure. As the AMMIC develops, infrastructure will need to be planned, designed, and built to support growth. Investments in infrastructure can attract new development, catalyze growth as well as increase the success of existing businesses located in the area. In this way, investments in infrastructure is an effective economic development strategy. Improvements to transportation network. Freight and truck travel to and from the AMMIC is facilitated primarily by 172nd Street NE (SR 531), 51st Avenue NE, 67th Avenue NE, and Smokey Point Boulevard. Transportation improvements in and around the AMMIC to increase capacity, reduce conflicts with the railroad, and improve connectivity can increase the attractiveness of the area for industrial businesses. Businesses cited improvements to 172nd Street NE, 156th Street NE, and access to I-5 as high priority needs. Closing the skills gap. Access to a highly skilled workforce is a key need for many industrial businesses, especially in the manufacturing sector. Filling the gaps in the manufacturing talent pipeline, through partnerships with community colleges, schools or other workforce development strategies will ensure the AMMIC remains an attractive destination for manufacturing jobs. Strengthening aerospace industry. As reference previously, the aerospace industry is an established sector in Snohomish County and the AMMIC. Several new technologies developing in the region, such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, composites and advanced manufacturing, can play a part in the future of the sector. The AMMIC is a promising location for development related to aerospace. Building on the AMMIC’s strengths, and investing in infrastructure, and workforce training is an opportunity to maintain and leverage this competitive advantage. Potential to attract businesses that leverage and support existing businesses. Many businesses cited the potential benefits of including businesses that can TOP CUB IN ARLINGTON The market for aircraft manufacturing in the Asia-Pacific, especially China, is growing rapidly as general aviation expands as an alternative to ground transportation, especially for shorter trips. Top Cub Aircraft is building a new manufacturing facility at the Arlington Municipal Airport to meet this growth in demand. Top Cub’s manufacturing plant will include space for parts inspection, assembling processes, aircraft maintenance, painting and flight testing. The Arlington Municipal Airport was chosen because of its concentration of aircraft manufacturing, aviation tenants and components suppliers.

CITY OF ARLINGTON · ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN VISION & GUIdING PRINCIPLES · OCTOBER 201810 DRAFT 3 SUBAREA PLAN CONCEPTS 3.1 PLANS & POLICIES The Subarea Plan is aligned with state, regional and City plans, policies and regulations. These include the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA), Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) Vision 2040, Snohomish County Countywide Planning Policies, and the City of Arlington Comprehensive Plan. These plans and policies are described in a detailed policy discussion available in the Existing Conditions Report for the Subarea Plan. The Subarea Plan is consistent with the policy guidance in these plans. 3.2 LAND USE Development Capacity In accordance with regional planning policies, the Cities have adopted targets for employment growth for the AMMIC through 2040. These targets are intended to help the cities plan for future growth and ensure development is supported by infrastructure. The combined (Arlington + Marysville) 2040 employment growth target for the AMMIC is 20,000 jobs. PSRC Regional Manufacturing / Industrial Center criteria require a minimum target employment level of 20,000 jobs over a twenty-year time horizon. Given estimated (2016) employment in the AMMIC of 7,597 jobs this means that at least 12, 403 jobs, or approximately 62% of the combined growth target should occur within the Arlington-Marysville MIC in the next twenty years. A market analysis commissioned by the cities in 2016 found it plausible that the center would achieve sufficient job growth to meet the target of 20,000 jobs. (Community Attributes Inc, 2016) Estimates ranged from 8,560 jobs in a low growth scenario, 9,759 jobs in a medium growth scenario and 25,000 jobs in a high growth scenario. Based on data from the 2012 Snohomish County Buildable Lands Report, within the boundaries of the AMMIC, a total of 46% of the land area or 1,762 acres consists of lands with capacity for additional development, including partially-used sites, redevelopable sites, and vacant sites. Given this large supply of redevelopable lands, AMMIC’s overall employment targets can be met at relatively modest employment densities from as low as 5 to about 14 jobs per acre. Employment capacity can increase as the area transitions to more intensive employment over time. Given growing market demand, 11 ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN · CITY OF ARLINGTON OCTOBER 2018 DRAFT planned transportation improvements, and the priority that comes with regional MIC designation, it is anticipated that growth in the AMMIC will achieve employment targets and potentially exceed them. Future Land Use AMMIC is a designated countywide Manufacturing Industrial Center, a regional planning center classification used by the Puget Sound Regional Council to identify locations of manufacturing, industrial, or advanced technology uses within the region. As a countywide MIC, the AMMIC is recognized in countywide planning policies and in the cities’ comprehensive plans. The Arlington Comprehensive Plan includes several policies that promote the Airport Business Park and other sites within the AMMIC as locations for future employment growth in manufacturing and industrial sectors. In the Arlington portion of the AMMIC, 854 acres (37%) to the east and northeast of the Airport are zoned General Industrial. The General Industrial zone accommodates businesses in manufacturing, processing, repair, renovation, painting, cleaning, or assembling of goods, merchandise, or equipment. The Arlington Airport is zoned Aviation Flightline for airport operations and uses related to aviation operations. Almost 236 acres (10%) north of the Airport is zoned for Light Industrial for uses with fewer impacts than the uses allowed under the General Industrial category. The Arlington Airport’s Business Park zone comprises 166 acres (7%) and allows office, hi-tech, research and development and related uses in a master-planned setting. A small amount of land, roughly 89 acres (4%) near 172nd Street is zoned Highway Commercial. In addition to the base zoning, close to 94% of the land within the AMMIC lies within a special zoning overlay called the Arlington Airport Protection District (APD). The APD regulations are required by the state and are intended to discourage siting of incompatible land uses and densities adjacent to general aviation airports to reduce hazards to lives and properties and ensure a safe flying environment. The APD overlay consists of four subdistricts (A, B, C and D) that modify the allowable density and land uses of underlying zoning districts. More detailed information on the location and constraints under the zoning overlay can be found in the 2016 market study report available on the City website. A broad range of land uses are permitted in each zoning category.

The Framework Plan’s land use concepts and urban design elements are intended to improve the attractiveness of the MIC for new job-rich development and foster a vibrant center for the cities and the region. The concepts of the framework plan are intended to guide changes over the long and short term. These concepts are illustrated in the Framework Map and the Conceptual Site Design on the following pages and summarized as goals and polices in the next section of this Plan. The Framework Plan summarizes proposed improvements that help fulfill the major goals for the AMMIC. Transportation improvements within the next 10 years (highlighted in blue) will quickly improve mobility within the center. Longer term street improvements (dashed blue) would fill out many of the desired connections and enhance mobility for all users. Buildings, as they (re)develop over time, will also add to the character areas by following new design guidelines. The concepts synthesized in the Vision Framework Plan are: Opportunity sites. Development would be encouraged throughout the subarea. The Opportunity Sites, which include parcels that are vacant or underdeveloped or larger properties which need more infrastructure to be redeveloped. Shovel ready sites represent sites that have infrastructure in place today and are ready for development. Desired industry clusters. The Subarea Plan envisions the AMMIC as the location for the following industry clusters: ƒAerospace ƒAdvanced Manufacturing ƒFood Processing ƒMaritime ƒWood Products and Mass Timber A connected street network. The Subarea Plan envisages a hierarchy of streets and a complete and connected street network. Streets hierarchy classifies streets as major, secondary and local access roads. The Plan envisions both improvements to existing streets and the addition of new streets to create a more connected street network. Improvements are also envisioned to include the addition of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure along key streets to enhance mobility for people without impacting industrial businesses. Continuous trail system. In addition to these street enhancements, the Subarea Plan envisions the construction of new non-motorized connections that link existing trails.

Green infrastructure systems. In addition to expanded non-motorized transportation options, the Plan envisions the integration of green infrastructure elements into new industrial development sites. These elements will help manage stormwater, promote ecological connectivity throughout the MIC and provide an amenity for employees. Edgecomb Creek Realignment. Within the study area, Edgecomb Creek straddles the cities of Marysville and Arlington. Edgecomb Creek originates in the hills east of the study area, flowing west and then south through the AMMIC before draining into the middle fork of Quilceda Creek. Within the AMMIC Edgecomb Creek has been highly channelized for rail and agriculture. There is a narrow riparian buffer along the creek, but most of the land surrounding the creek has been converted to agricultural uses. This Plan envisions the potential relocation of the creek from its current alignment into a more natural channel with a riparian corridor that would provide better fish and wildlife habitat. The conceptual channel alignment would include: ƒa low-flow channel for year-round stream flow ƒa high-flow channel to convey flood flows, to address flooding issues in the basin ƒinstream large woody debris for habitat ƒ100- to 150-foot buffers on either side of the creek along the entire length of the project ƒnative vegetation planting in the channel and buffer ƒoff-channel reading habitat ƒconnection to hillside streams north of 172nd Street NE Creek restoration would also provide an opportunity to integrate habitat enhancement with stormwater management.

The subsequent section describes short and longer-term actions to implement the Plan. 4.1 LAND USE & URBAN DESIGN Context Industrial uses dominate the AMMIC. Many manufacturing, processing and fabrication firms, especially related to aerospace, are located east and northeast of the Arlington Municipal Airport, as well as along Smokey Point Boulevard. Warehousing, Transportation, and Utilities firms cluster around the airport and major arterials. The majority of commercial, office, and business park development is located south and west of the airport and concentrated along 172nd Street NE (SR 531), near the Interstate 5 interchange. The publicly-owned Arlington Municipal Airport is a significant use in the AMMIC. The airport presently consists of approximately 1,189 acres and includes industrial, commercial, and public land uses, in addition to aviation operational areas. The Arlington Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Designation and Zoning authorize industrial uses. Considering current zoning and vacant and redevelopable land, there is a large capacity for new industrial employment uses within the overall MIC. Within Arlington, there are several shovel-ready industrial sites, as well as opportunities for infill industrial development.

AMMIC-LU-8.2: Adopt or amend streetscape standards that produce attractive, well landscaped streets and add a sense of unity to the MIC. AMMIC-LU-8.3: Enhance the MIC’s identity by Incorporating signage or other gateway improvements at key locations. 21 ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN · CITY OF ARLINGTON OCTOBER 2018 · GOALS & POLICIES DRAFT 4.2 TRANSPORTATION Context The transportation system is critical to the vitality of the AMMIC to support both freight transport and connect workers to their place of employment. The main mode of travel for AMMIC workers has generally been single occupant vehicles (SOV) given the lack of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, limited transit connectivity, and typical around-the-clock shift schedules of the industry. Improving multimodal access to the AMMIC will allow for growth in jobs while reducing the need to increase capacity to serve vehicle transport. Freight and auto travel to and from the AMMIC is facilitated primarily by 172nd Street NE (SR 531), 51st Avenue NE, 67th Avenue NE and Smokey Point Boulevard. The area currently has limited connectivity and the operations of the transportation system are impacted by conflicts between rail, vehicular, and non-motorized traffic due to at-grade crossings. Planned transportation improvements in and around the AMMIC will increase capacity, reduce conflicts with the railroad, and improve connectivity. Key improvements include widening of 172nd Street NE between 43rd and 67th Avenues and the new I-5/156th Street NE interchange and extension of 156th Street NE. Approximately 45% of AMMIC employees live within less than 10 miles of the subarea and approximately 30% live within approximately 25 miles of the subarea; the other 25% live further than 25 miles from the subarea. Employees living proximate to the AMMIC makes non-motorized and transit modes viable alternatives. Key bicycle routes include the Airport and Centennial Trails, which are not connected to each other and the Centennial Trail does not connect directly to the AMMIC. There are opportunities to connect these trails and improve the non-motorized facilities within the AMMIC as existing and new roadway improvements are completed. Planned improvements will include bicycle and pedestrian facilities with improvements to existing and new roads. In addition, transit service to the AMMIC area is currently limited and strategies will need to be explored to help reduce reliance on single occupant vehicles (SOV). Improvements may consider additional or improved services such as bus rapid transit and connectivity to park and ride facilities. In addition, emerging transportation trends may change how people and goods travel and the transportation systems operate. Transportation-related technology has advanced rapidly over the past decade and will continue to accelerate and create major shifts in transportation within the AMMIC and the region as a whole. Technology-related trends that could impact the transportation system include: ƒAutonomous Vehicles (AVs). There is a great deal of uncertainty for communities planning for AVs. Over the next 15 years, a portion of the vehicles on the street and highway system could be operating without drivers. It is possible that 30 to 40 years from now all, or nearly all, vehicles will be driverless or will have driverless capabilities in certain situations. The implementation of some of these technologies are likely within the AMMIC 20-year planning horizon. Some of the ramification of these technologies that should be considered are an increase in capacity of streets CITY OF ARLINGTON · ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN GOALS & POLICIES · OCTOBER 201822 DRAFT and highways with AVs able to space closer, changes to how freight is transported and reduction in cost of operating transit. ƒParking Demand Shifts. As on-demand and shared ride services change how people travel, the need for off-street parking at places of employment could decrease but the demand for curbside areas set aside for loading/unloading activities could increase. ƒConnected Vehicles. This technology has the potential to optimize traffic flow as computer systems communicate with vehicles to moderate flow. Cities might look ahead to providing infrastructure as efficient reference points such as light poles to allow for vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. It remains unclear whether these new technologies (or others) will be implemented by agencies, vehicle manufactures and related industries. The shifts may be relatively quick (within a decade) or take much longer to develop. Agencies can play a major role in how connected vehicle infrastructure gets implemented, which can lead to better traffic management. Future development planning can consider the potential decrease in off-street parking needs with increase in on-demand services and AV and how this parking could be repurposed and/or how curb space is managed. Goals & Policies AMMIC-T-1: Development of the AMMIC supports the movement of goods, is compatible with adjacent neighborhoods and promotes a multi-modal transportation network. [Goal T-14] AMMIC-T-1.1: The City should identify and implement short-term and long-range infrastructure improvements that support existing infrastructure and help stimulate the development of new manufacturing and industrial uses in the AMMIC. [PT-14.1] AMMIC-T-1.2: The City should work collaboratively with the City of Marysville to develop a seamless and compatible road network in order to efficiently move goods and services within and outside the AMMIC. [PT-14.2] AMMIC-T-1.3: Develop street designs that incorporate low-impact development standards where feasible which reduce surface water and enhance aesthetics of the area. [PT-14.3] AMMIC-T-1.4: A non-motorized network should be developed throughout the area that allows pedestrians and cyclists to safely access places of employment. [PT-14.4] AMMIC-T-1.5: Landscaping along roadways and between properties that are adjacent to neighborhoods should be required to reduce noise and visual impacts. [PT-14.5] AMMIC-T-1.6: The City should utilize available State and federal transportation infrastructure funding in the AMMIC once regional designation is obtained from PSRC. [PT-14.6] AMMIC-T-1.7: Roadway designs within the AMMIC should be sensitive to the needs and movement of large trucks that will frequent the AMMIC, including the installation of cueing areas for trucks delivering/receiving goods. [PT-14.7] AMMIC-T-1.8: The City should encourage existing and new businesses to utilize the BNSF railroad spur as useful resource to move goods and services within and outside the AMMIC. [PT-14.8] 23 ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN · CITY OF ARLINGTON OCTOBER 2018 · GOALS & POLICIES DRAFT AMMIC-T-2: Transportation strategies encourage the use of pedestrian, bicycle, and mass transit facilities that lead to savings of nonrenewable energy sources. [Goal T-5] AMMIC-T-2.1: Provide for safe and efficient movement of bicycles and pedestrians along streets and highways by constructing sidewalks and other footpath systems as well as bicycle paths. [PT-5.1] AMMIC-T-2.2: Encourage the use of bicycles as a transportation alternative by providing bicycle lanes or shared use paths on arterial and collector streets. [PT-5.2] AMMIC-T-2.3: Coordinate bicycle/pedestrian facility improvements, including the Centennial and Airport Trails, with neighboring jurisdictions to connect routes where possible. [PT-5.8] AMMIC-T-2.4: Require new construction to include the construction of sidewalks, bicycle storage/ parking facilities, and access to mass transit where possible and in proportion to the need generated by the proposal. [PT-4.10] AMMIC-T-3: The AMMIC includes safe and efficient multimodal access and connectivity. AMMIC-T-3.1: Balance the needs of pedestrians, bicycles, transit, autos, and trucks on the AMMIC transportation system by improving streets according to modal priorities. AMMIC-T-3.2: Design non-motorized facilities within the AMMIC in a manner that minimizes potential conflicts with trucks and trains to allow for the safe and efficient movement of both freight and people. AMMIC-T-3.3: Ensure safe and comfortable pedestrian connectivity to transit stops in the AMMIC. Provide first-and-last mile connections to transit and destinations within the AMMIC. AMMIC-T-3.4: Enforce regulations so that, outside of designated routes, trucks do not utilize City streets, except for local deliveries and services. AMMIC-T-3.5: Enhance safety and operations of rail service (freight and passenger) through grade separation of roadways or improving at-grade crossings. FIRST-AND-LAST MILE First-and-last mile connections address the beginning and end of a trip primarily made by public transit. It may be difficult to access transit from an origin or destination if there are barriers or the distance is more than a typical walking distance (i.e., approximately ¼-mile). Addressing the connections to and from transit origins and destinations with removal of barriers or increased connectivity for walking, providing or improving bicycle facilities and/or options such as rideshares increases access to transit and makes this mode more attractive and/or competitive with other options.

CITY OF ARLINGTON · ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN GOALS & POLICIES · OCTOBER 201826 DRAFT 4.3 NATURAL ENVIRONMENT Context Critical areas are protected under Washington State’s Growth Management Act (GMA) to preserve the natural environment and protect the public’s health and safety. The City of Arlington documents two types of critical areas within the AMMIC: wetlands and fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas (FWHCAs). Several streams and ditches in the study area constitute FWHCAs that provide habitat for federal and state listed fish species. None of the wetlands in the AMMIC are designated as FWHCAs. There are four creeks that flow through the AMMIC: Edgecomb Creek (also referred to as the Middle Fork of Quilceda Creek), Westphal Creek, Hayho Creek, and Portage Creek. More detailed information is available in the Existing Conditions report for this Subarea Plan. As new development occurs in the AMMIC, the Subarea Plan envisions the integration of green infrastructure elements into development sites, the protection of critical habitat areas and the preservation, restoration and enhancement of wetlands, streams and buffers. The Plan also envisions the realignment of Edgecomb Creek to provide better fish and wildlife habitat. Goals & Policies AMMIC-NE-1: Development in the AMMIC integrates natural features, open spaces, stormwater drainage facilities and, where applicable, restored stream corridors as landscape and amenity features and incorporates these natural systems as part of the MIC’s design identity. AMMIC-NE-1.1: Adopt MIC specific site development standards that call for the maintenance, enhancement or restoration of stream corridors, wetlands and aquatic features and their use as a site amenity. AMMIC-NE-1.2: Define corridors for stream and wetland enhancement and restoration across the landscape of the MIC so these efforts result in functionally connected environmental resources. AMMIC-NE-1.3: Work with the City of Marysville to relocate Edgecomb Creek from its current alignment to a more natural channel with a riparian corridor that provides better fish and wildlife habitat. AMMIC-NE-1.4: Adopt MIC specific standards to ensure that stormwater features such as detention ponds are attractive and maximize opportunities to increase natural ecological functions.

Implement source control best management practices (BMPs) to prevent soil and stormwater runoff contamination from operation and storage of heavy equipment. [PL-14.4] 4.4 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Context The AMMIC currently includes a total of 7,597 jobs (2016). Industrial sectors (manufacturing, construction, warehousing, transportation, and utilities) account for close to 80% of the total employment in the center. The Subarea Plan recognizes AMMIC's strengths in the aerospace cluster, especially in the Arlington portion of the center, given the presence of the airport and existing businesses. Plan policies and goals are intended to retain and grow this existing strength and attract new industry clusters in desired sectors such as Food Processing, Maritime and Wood Products and Mass Timber Production. Many of these industries can be attracted to the area through appropriate investments in infrastructure, and workforce development, as well as appropriate zoning and design standards to ensure industrial uses continue to be viable. Quality of life considerations, such as access to affordable workforce housing, to parks, public safety and transportation are an import element of economic development. This is especially true for the AMMIC since many businesses choose to locate in the center to take advantage of the affordable housing and quality of life in Arlington and Marysville. In addition, economic development efforts should also address the role of the AMMIC within the regional industrial ecosystem and its potential to complement the region’s other industrial centers.

CITY OF ARLINGTON · ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN GOALS & POLICIES · OCTOBER 201832 DRAFT 5 IMPLEMENTATION 5.1 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN Development of the AMMIC will require investments in infrastructure and capital facilities. Exhibits 6–8 show the total costs, by category, of the improvements needed to allow for development in the Subarea. It is important to note that these are point-in-time costs that assume this project is completed all at one time, in 2017 or 2018 dollars. As the work on the infrastructure is phased and completed, cost estimates will need to be updated to reflect inflation and the carrying costs based on phasing. Some capital facilities expected in the AMMIC are related to new development. New development is expected to provide for these capital facilities through direct infrastructure construction and the payment of related fees and charges. The development of new capital facilities and infrastructure will be guided by City of Arlington plans, policies, and regulations as shown in the sections below. Transportation The City of Arlington maintains a Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) that lists local transportation projects. Each year an updated TIP is submitted to the PSRC and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to ensure that projects eligible for federal and state funding can compete for funds. Projects listed on the TIP include motorized, non-motorized improvements, on-going maintenance projects, and projects to served new growth. In the most recent Arlington TIP (2018-2023) two projects appear on the list for the AMMIC. These projects include: ƒ43rd Ave NE, 160th St NE to SR 531 ƒ51st Ave NE, 160th St NE to SR 531 In addition to the TIP, the Comprehensive Plan lists additional projects that will be needed to meet the needs of growth by 2035. These include: ƒ173rd St NE (Phases 1-3A), Smokey Point Blvd to 51st Ave NE ƒ47th Ave NE, SR 531 (172nd Street NE) to Airport Blvd Some of the transportation facilities needed in the AMMIC will be constructed by the developer as development occurs. Title 20 of the Arlington Municipal Code specifies the standards and minimum requirements for the construction of streets and sidewalks. The City of Arlington intends to use its established traffic impact fees in place at the time of application as the mechanism to collect a fair share from development for the construction of the regional arterial streets. In addition, grant funding will also be applied for to help fund infrastructure. More information is available in the finance section of this plan. 33 ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN · CITY OF ARLINGTON OCTOBER 2018 DRAFT Exhibit 6 Summary of AMMIC Transportation Improvements IMPROVEMENT PROJECT DESCRIPTION JURISDICTION COST EST.

CITY OF ARLINGTON · ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN IMPLEMENTATION · OCTOBER 201834 DRAFT Utilities The City of Arlington maintains comprehensive plans for wastewater, water, and stormwater utilities. These plans define city-wide utility improvement projects, including projects within the AMMIC. Arlington’s plans for the expansion of each utility within the MIC are described below. Wastewater The City of Arlington provides wastewater service to the Arlington portion of the MIC. The City has accounted for MIC growth in evaluating its wastewater system requirements. Overall, the existing system has been extended through the developed areas of the Arlington portion of the MIC and lift station 2 was upgraded in 2017 to serve increased demand related to existing and future development. The City recently expanded its wastewater service area to include the portion of Arlington south of 172nd Street, east of 51st Avenue, and west of 43rd Avenue. Exhibit 7 lists the six capital projects currently planned in the MIC between 2018 and 2035. This list includes capacity improvements that are scheduled for lift stations 4, 8, and 12 over the next 20 years and other conveyance improvements to accommodate increased demand related to new development, including extension of the trunk connectors east and west of lift station 12. The capacity of the planned conveyance improvements is generally expected to meet the demand of increased development in the study area; however, project refinement will be needed as redevelopment plans become more discrete. The City still needs to determine the funding strategy for extending the system into the underdeveloped portions of the MIC.

The City has sufficient water supply and secured wholesale supplies to meet demand beyond 2035, and the City is pursuing additional water rights to meet long-term demands. The system was recently extended for the Airport Business Park. Exhibit 8 lists the 4 capital projects currently planned in the MIC between 2018 and 2035, including extension of the system into the undeveloped portions of the service area south of 172nd Street, as well as system upgrades to serve redevelopment. As with the wastewater utility, the City still needs to determine the funding strategy for extending the system into the underdeveloped portions of the MIC.. Stormwater The City of Arlington has completed many capital projects in the last 10 years to prepare for increased development, including culvert replacement projects to address flooding and fish passage concerns. Development projects in the MIC will require stormwater management facilities and physical conditions, such as poor infiltration rates and high groundwater, make stormwater management more challenging in the Arlington portion of the MIC south of 172nd Street. The City is considering the possibility of regional stormwater facilities in this area as it updates its stormwater comprehensive plan over the next year. In the northern portion of the MIC, recent redevelopment projects have successfully infiltrated stormwater on-site and the City expects that future developers will follow that same approach (i.e. onsite stormwater management). Specific stormwater projects within the Arlington portion of the MIC are not listed here because the Stormwater Comprehensive Plan is in the process of being updated.

CITY OF ARLINGTON · ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN IMPLEMENTATION · OCTOBER 201836 DRAFT Natural Environment Wetlands & Streams Portions of the MIC within the City of Arlington are adjacent to Edgecomb and Portage Creeks. Based on a desktop assessment, other undeveloped areas of the site have poor infiltration, shallow groundwater, mapped hydric soils, current agricultural land uses, and mapped wetlands (particularly areas south of 172nd St.), indicating the potential presence of additional wetlands on the site. Development planning in the MIC would benefit from a more thorough field assessment of wetland presence and an integrated evaluation of stream and wetlands preservation, stream realignment, and compensatory mitigation options. A better understanding of these factors would enable more effective planning and allow the development to comprehensively plan for, integrate, and optimize the management of environmental resources, rather than managing them on a project-by-project basis as development occurs. 5.2 FINANCE Funding & Financing Tools for Subarea Development This plan identifies funding and financing mechanisms that can be used to generate City revenues to fund and finance the improvements, either in total or just upfront, and, where developers are responsible for costs, but the City is funding the initial investment, recover funds from developers to refund the City’s initial investment. Funding & Financing Mechanisms (Beyond Existing Tools) to Support Expected City Contributions & Upfront Funding of Improvements The following are sources of funding that Washington cities can use to pay for capital improvements ƒReal Estate Excise Tax (REET) ƒMotor Vehicle Fuel Tax (MVFT) ƒBonds or Loans ƒTransportation Benefit District and Local Improvement District ƒGrants. The following Federal and State grants can fund improvements, especially those related to transportation. –Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 37 ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN · CITY OF ARLINGTON OCTOBER 2018 · IMPLEMENTATION DRAFT –Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) –Pedestrian and Bicycle Program (PED-BIKE) –Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) –Surface Transportation Program (STP) –Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) –Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB) –Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) –Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) Funding & Financing Mechanisms to Recover Funds from Developers ƒState Environmental Policy Act Mitigation Fees. SEPA grants wide-ranging authority to impose mitigating conditions relating to a project’s environmental impacts. A local government’s authority under SEPA to mitigate environmental impacts includes the authority to impose impact fees on a developer to pay for the mitigation of impacts on public facilities and services. ƒProperty Owner and Developer Contributions. In cases of large developments, the City may work with a developer to enter into a development agreement governing the development. This agreement can include obligations for the developer to pay for infrastructure necessary to support the development. ƒGeneral Facility Charges. These include charges paid to the City for utilities facilities. ƒImpact Fees. These include fees for transportation facilities or other infrastructure. CITY OF ARLINGTON · ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN IMPLEMENTATION · OCTOBER 201838 DRAFT 6 ZONING & DEVELOPMENT STANDARD RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 INDUSTRIAL DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Arlington utilizes elements of Form Based Code in its Design Standards for all new development. Below is an outline of key provisions for industrial center design criteria. 1. Site Planning 1a. Relationship to Street Front. The primary entrance to all buildings, typically the office or reception area associated with the business, should be positioned as close to the street frontage as possible so that the building provides an inviting presence and emphasizes the design elements of the structure. Onsite parking should be oriented to the sides or rear of the building so as to not obstruct the site line of the entryway. The frontage should also incorporate landscaping and other elements to enhance the buildings appeal, such as special lighting and artwork. 1b. Pedestrian Circulation—Site Planning. Ensure good pedestrian routes between buildings, streets, parking etc. This section covers location and Section 2a below covers design aspects such as width, materials, etc. 1c. Vehicular Access and Circulation. Location and configuration. 1d. Loading, Service Areas and Mechanical Equipment. Building and site design should incorporate elements that eliminate or effectively screen these areas from visibility 1e. Stormwater Facility Planning. Low Impact Design (LID) is required to be utilized whenever feasible for new development. This provision primarily is to identify opportunities to combine SWM facilities with landscaping and environmental enhancement measures. 1f. Site Planning for Security. Incorporate CPTED principles whenever possible. 1g. Unifying Site Planning Concept. This provision requires that the proponent integrate the above requirements and considerations into an efficient and logical site plan that incorporates pedestrian circulation and landscaping as unifying elements, takes advantage of special on- site features, and provides for the efficient circulation of all modes of transportation. 39 ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN · CITY OF ARLINGTON OCTOBER 2018 DRAFT 2. Site and Roadway Design Elements 2a. Internal Pedestrian Paths and Circulation. Size and design of connections between buildings, site features, parking areas and roadways should be designed in a logical manner that considers the pedestrians needs and convenience. A width of five feet shall be the minimum for all walkways, but wider widths should always be considered. 2b. Streetscape Elements. Streetscapes are vital in creating an attractive and functional environment for all manufacturing/industrial areas by providing some scale to the larger footprint buildings typically associated with industrial uses and by providing essential screening and greenspace between the public realm and the industrial uses. Lighting is also an essential part of the streetscape by providing safe illumination of the public way and also provides aesthetic interest when ornamental lighting is utilized. 2c. Site Landscaping. This must be coordinated with landscaping in the code’s development standards for landscaping and critical area protection, but it might include provisions for a signature landscape palette to unify the area or special requirements to enhance entries, etc. this section could also include provisions for enhancing natural features such as stream corridors and providing some useable open space for recreation opportunities for workers. 2d. Parking Area Design and Landscaping. Parking facilities should be evaluated carefully for need and capacity then designed accordingly, as they incorporate a large percentage of a sites impervious area, requiring larger drainage facilities and additional long term maintenance costs. Arlington’s Development Code requires a minimum of 20% shading of parking areas to An example of a unified site plan illustrating requirements of (1g). CITY OF ARLINGTON · ARLINGTON-MARYSVILLE MIC SUBAREA PLAN ZONING & dEVELOPMENT STANd ARd RECOMMENd ATIONS · OCTOBER 201840 DRAFT address the impacts of the heat island effect caused by large expanses of impervious areas. Parking areas should be oriented to the sides or rear of the buildings, while still considering design aspects such as pedestrian access, ADA requirements, and landscaping to the code’s dimensional standards in the overall design. 3. Building Design 3a. Building Design—Character. Building form is extremely important in the Arlington portion of the AMMIC, as it is centrally located within the city and borders established neighborhoods. Manufacturing uses can be compatible with existing uses and attractive building design can allow those uses to be indistinguishable from one another. 3b. Human Scale Elements. Human scale design is essential in Arlington’s design requirements since they require businesses to orient as close to the Right of Way as possible. This creates a more urban feel and appearance to the new development within the AMMIC. 3c. Architectural Scale. Arlington’s Design Standards require emphasis on building articulation—such as visually breaking up a building façade into intervals by including repetitive features (e.g., broken rooflines, chimneys, entrances, distinctive window patterns, street trees, and different materials) in addition to modulation (stepping back or projecting forward of portions of a building face, within specified intervals of building width and depth, as a means of breaking up the apparent bulk of a structure’s continuous exterior walls). 3d. Materials. The use of a variety of materials is allowed in the Design Standards, with an emphasis on use of materials that represent northwest styling. 3e. Blank walls. Large blank walls shall be addressed in a variety of ways, including modulation, articulation, glazing, use of differing materials, and landscaping. 3f. Building Entrances. Entrances are very important to the perception of quality in industrial settings, as they are the first thing you see when entering a site. An attractive entrance presents that first impression that the business takes pride in its appearance and pays close attention to quality and detail. 4. Lighting 4a. Site Lighting. Careful attention to site lighting not only provides for safe efficient lighting of the site, but can also add significant aesthetic value to the site. 5. Signage 5a. Site Signage. Must coordinate this with the sign code. Sometimes, but not always, it makes sense to standardize sign size and placement.

As a countywide MIC, the AMMIC is recognized in countywide planning policies in the cities’ comprehensive plans. Given that the AMMIC has met the minimum thresholds for employment and size, and has completed significant planning, the cities plan to apply to receive a regional MIC designation. Regional MIC designation brings prioritization for transportation funding and gives cities an advantage for regional funding to help with infrastructure needs that suppor t manufacturing and industry activity. From a marketing standpoint the AMMIC would be located on the Regional Centers map, which raises the profile of the area and signals long-term policy support for industrial activity. PSRC designation criteria require the cities to complete a subarea plan as part of the regional designation process. Subarea planning allows for the establishment of a shared, long-term vision, and a more coordinated approach to development, environmental review, and strategic capital investments. The steps in the AMMIC Subarea Plan process are shown below in Exhibit 1-1. Exhibit 1-1 Arlington Marysville Plan Process This document is part of the first stage to summarize existing conditions in the Arlington- Marysville MIC Study Area. This analysis will inform Visioning and Subarea Plan preparation.

The AMMIC is located in a low basin, east of I-5 and the Tulalip Reservation. See Exhibit 1-2. The AMMIC is comprised of parcels within the Cities of Arlington and Marysville. These two areas are useful for comparison and are described within this existing condition analysis. ▪ Arlington: The Arlington portion of the AMMIC includes 2,291 acres. This includes the 1,189 - acre City-owned and operated Arlington Municipal Airport (AWO). ▪ Marysville: The Marysville portion of the AMMIC includes 1,728 acres. This includes the City of Marysville’s 2007 Smokey Point Master Planning Area of approximately 665 acres.

Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 4 1.3 Summary This report addresses a range of natural and built environment subjects, describing them for the Study Area as a whole, and for the areas within the individual cities. ▪ Natural Environment ▪ Land Use and Plans and Policies ▪ Economic Development ▪ Transportation ▪ Public Services and Utilities The key conditions found in this report are summarized in Exhibit 1-3. Exhibit 1-3 Top Takeaways – AMMIC Conditions Natural Environment A sizable percentage of the undeveloped portion of the Marysville part of the AMMIC is adjacent to Hayho, Westphal, and Edgecomb Creeks and also has a high potential for wetlands due to shallow groundwater and mapped hydric soils. Development planning in the AMMIC would benefit from a more thorough field assessment of wetland presence a nd an integrated evaluation of stream realignment options. A better understanding of these two factors will enable more effective planning and allow the development to plan for, integrate, and optimize the management of the environmental resources, rather than managing the environmental resources on a project-by-project basis as development occurs. Land Use Current development in the AMMIC is largely industrial. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Designation and Zoning authorize industrial uses. Considering current zoning and vacant and redevelopable land, there is a large capacity for new industrial employment uses. Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 5 Economic Development The AMMIC is mostly in industrial use and contains nearly 7,597 jobs. A market study in 2016 showed there was market potential for job growth in the AMMIC. Businesses in advanced manufacturing, especially related to aerospace, food processing, and mass timber production are likely to find the AMMIC to be an attractive location and contribute to job growth. Many of these businesses can be attracted to the area through appropriate investments in infrastructure, and workforce development, as well as appropriate zoning and design standards to ensure industrial uses continue to be viable. Transportation Freight and auto travel to and from the AMMIC is facilitated primarily by 172nd Street NE (SR 531), 51st Avenue NE, 67th Avenue NE, and Smokey Point Boulevard. The area currently has limited connectivity and the operations of the transportation system are impacted by conflicts between rail, vehicular, and non-motorized traffic due to conflicts at- grade crossings. Planned transportation improvements in and around the AMMIC will increase capacity, reduce conflicts with the railroad, and improve connectivity. This includes widening of 172nd Street Ne between 43rd and 67th Avenues and the new I-5/156th Street NE interchange and extension of 156th Street NE, which will increase capacity in the area. Approximately 45% of AMMIC employees live within less than 10 miles of the subarea and approximately 30% live within 24 miles of the subarea. Employees living proximate to the AMMIC makes non-motorized and transit modes viable alternatives. Key bicycle routes include the Airport and Centennial Trails, which are not connected to each other and the Centennial Trail which does not connect directly to the AMMIC. There are opportunities to connect these trails and improve the non-motorized facilities within the AMMIC as existing and new roadway improvements are completed. The Cities will consider bicycle and pedestrian facilities with improvements to existing roads and constructing new roads. These improvements would need to balance the needs of industrial businesses and the needs of users of the non-motorized network. Transit service to the AMMIC area is currently limited and strategies will need to be explored to help reduce reliance on single occupant vehicles (SOV). Community Transit’s has a long-range plan to provide Swift, bus rapid transit, along Smokey Point Boulevard with a potential stop at the planned I-5/156th Street NE interchange. Other improvements may consider additional service and connectivity to park and ride facilities. Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 6 Public Services In the Arlington portion of the AMMIC, most infrastructure is in place and the City has begun planning for service in the underdeveloped areas, south of 172nd Street NE. Some infrastructure will need to be upgraded as redevelopment occurs, and the City has begun planning for this. In the Marysville portion of the AMMIC, much of the area lacks infrastructure to serve development. The City has plann ed some infrastructure expansion near the Smokey Point Neighborhood. As the AMMIC develops, infrastructure will need to be planned, designed, and built to support the intended land use. The Cities will need to decide how much to invest in infrastructure to encourage more rapid development. Alternately the City could expand infrastructure more incrementally as development occurs. Tools such as local improvement districts, latecomer fees, or investments by external entities could be used to facilitate infrastructure construction. 2.0 Natural Environment 2.1 Surface Water & Groundwater Resources 2.1.1 Surface Water The Study Area includes several named streams, which are shown in Exhibit 2-2 and discussed below for the City of Arlington and the City of Marysville portions of the MIC. City of Arlington The Arlington portion of the MIC straddles the divide between two river basins, the Stillaguamish and the Snohomish, which are regionally recognized as Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIAs) 5 and 7, respectively” (Arlington 2010). To the north, runoff ultimately drains to the Stillaguamish via Portage Creek or the South Fork Stillaguamish. To the south, runoff ultimately drains to the Snohomish via the Middle Fork Quilceda Creek. The northern portion of the area sits upon Arlington Alluvium, a very porous substrate with high infiltration potential. South of the divide between watersheds, high groundwater limits the potential for stormwater infiltration. The Arlington portion’s stormwater infrastructure includes a collection, treatment, and storage systems with outfalls to some of these streams, relying on them to convey storm flows away from the Study Area. “Runoff from urbanizing areas often results in greater volumes and more rapid rates of water flow over shorter durations relative to undeveloped areas. These modified flows can degrade the channels and harm the aquatic ecosystems they support” (Arlington 2010). Arlington has completed a number of culvert replacement projects to improve fish passage and reduce localized flooding in the area. Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 7 Most or all segments of the Stillaguamish River are identified (listed under CWA 303d) as impaired for fecal coliform, dissolved oxygen, and temperature. “Clean-up plans developed under two Stillaguamish Total Maximum Daily Load studies (TMDLs) are enforced through the NPDES wastewater discharge permit for the Arlington Water Reclamation Facility, and the NPDES Phase II stormwater general permit for Arlington and other cities” (Arlington 2017a). Surface water resources to the south of the Study Area are discussed in the following section . City of Marysville The Marysville portion of the MIC is located within the Snohomish River Drainage Basin within Water Resource Inventory Area 7 (WRIA 7), the second largest watershed in the state. The Quilceda Creek basin is the largest basin within the Study Area. It runs north-south and is predominately located within the Marysville Trough. It generally consists of till and outwash soils. “Although outwash soils usually drain well, high groundwater in the winter months creates saturated soil conditions that impedes infiltration, and commonly results in a high rate of surface water runoff” (Marysville 2016). Groundwater levels have been evaluated in the context of relocating Edgecomb Creek (Otak Inc. 2009). The Marysville portion’s existing stormwater management system consists of a combination of open ditches, pipes, catch basins, culverts, and stormwater management facilities. This system includes waterways within the Quilceda Creek basin. “These waterways have been manipulated and channelized over the years and are highly susceptible to environmental pro blems such as pollution, erosion, and flooding” (Marysville 2016). Localized flooding has been an issue in the area and the City has planned conveyance and culvert improvements, as well as stormwater management facilities, to reduce flooding. These projects will need to be further developed and implemented as development occurs. Non-point source pollution from agriculture and urban development have increased the presence of pollutants in Study Area surface waters. Quilceda Creek has been placed on Washington State’s 303(d) list for fecal coliform. Low dissolved oxygen levels are also a concern in the summer months and can compromise crucial fish and wildlife habitat. The Quilceda Creek system is within the Tulalip Tribes’ usual and accustomed fishing areas. Land use within this system is therefore governed by a variety of tribal, state, county, and city regulations (Marysville 2016). 2.1.1 Potential Creek Realignment Hayho, Westphal, and Edgecomb Creeks flow from north to south across the Marysville portion of the MIC and much of the area surrounding the two streams would be converted to more intensive land use during development of the MIC. Over the last decade, Marysville has evaluated the feasibility of relocating the streams and has examined potential alternative alignments (Marysville 2015). The prior evaluation is discussed in more detail in the Critical Areas section. Plans for the potential relocation have been on hold with the intention of resuming the project when development of the Marysville portion increases. Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 8 2.1.2 Wells & Groundwater There are eight mapped groundwater wells within the project Study Area and many wells in the vicinity. See Exhibit 2-2. There is one mapped wellhead protection area (WHPA) near the Arlington Municipal Airport and two WHPAs that extend into the northwest corner of the Arlington portion of the Study Area. The Washington State Department of Health administers requirements for water systems (WAC 246-290 through 246-296). Wellhead protection requirements may restrict land use practices in some parts of the Study Area.

Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 11 2.2 Critical Areas Critical areas are protected under Washington State’s Growth Management Act (GMA) to preserve the natural environment and protect the public’s health and safety. Critical areas provide benefits such as clean drinking water, enhanced water quality, fish and wildlife habitat, and reduced flood risk (Commerce 2018). The GMA identifies five critical areas (RCW 36.70A.030(5)): ▪ Wetlands ▪ Areas with a critical recharging effect on aquifers used for potable water ▪ Frequently flooded areas ▪ Geologically hazardous areas ▪ Fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas The cities of Marysville (Marysville 2018) and Arlington (Arlington 2018) document two types of critical areas within the study area: wetlands and fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas (FWHCAs). 2.2.1 Wetlands Previous studies have identified several wetlands in the study area. The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) online mapper depicts several wetlands in the study area (USFWS 2018), most of which are in the City of Marysville: eight palustrine (non-tidal) emergent wetlands ranging from 0.33 to 4.78 acres in size; one palustrine forested wetland covering approximately 2.83 acres; and five freshwater ponds ranging in area from 0.34 to 1.2 acres. The City of Marysville documents one Category I/Category II wetland on the site at the headwaters of Hayho Creek. Several other Category III and Category IV wetlands are found throughout the site, including some associated with Edgecomb and Hayho Creeks. See Exhibit 2-2. The City of Arlington identifies several Category II wetlands associated with Edgecomb Creek; two Category III wetlands on the Arlington/Marysville border, and one Category III wetland in the northeast corner of the site. See Exhibit 2-2. Standard buffer widths vary by jurisdiction, and range from 35 feet for a Category IV wetland to 190 feet for a Category I wetland. See Exhibit 2-3. Any development within a wetland or buffer will require compensatory mitigation at the appropriate ratios. Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 12 Exhibit 2-3 Regulatory Buffer Widths for Wetlands WETLAND CATEGORY BUFFER WIDTH (FEET) Marysville Arlington Standard If wetland habitat scores 5 points If wetland habitat scores 6-7 points Category I (based on total score) 125 75 105 165 Category I (bogs and wetland of high conservation value) 190 190 190 Category I (forested) 75 105 165 Category II 100 75 105 165 Category III 75 60 105 165 Category IV 35 40 40 40 According to soil survey maps, approximately 50% of the site contains hydric soils, consisting of Custer fine sandy loam (30%), and Norma loam (20%; NRCS 2018). The presence of hydric soils indicates a higher likelihood of wetlands on the site. Hydric soils are more prevalent on t he southern portion of the site (south of State Route 531), corresponding to the higher number of wetlands identified in that location on the NWI maps. 2.2.2 Fish & Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas Several streams and ditches in the study area constitute FWHCAs that provide habitat for federal and state listed fish species. None of the wetlands in the study area are designated as FHWCAs. Terrestrial habitats in the study area consist of agricultural, residential, commercial, and industrial areas. There are a few isolated forest fragments adjacent to Arlington Municipal Airport and within wetland and stream buffers. These areas provide habitat for a variety of bird and mammal species, but none of these habitats or species are documented as WDFW Priority Habitats or species (WDFW 2018a), or as habitats for species of local importance. There are 4 creeks that flow through the study area: Edgecomb Creek (also referred to as the Middle Fork of Quilceda Creek), Westphal Creek, Hayho Creek, and Portage Creek. See Exhibit 2-2. Within the study area, Edgecomb Creek straddles the cities of Marysville and Arlington. Westphal and Hayho Creeks are entirely within the City of Marysville, and Portage Creek is within the City of Arlington. Edgecomb, Hayho, and Portage Creeks are classified as Type F streams, which are natural waters that have a substantial fish, wildlife, or human use. Type F streams have a buffer of 150 feet. Westphal Creek is not regulated by the City of Marysville and has no regulatory buffer. As with wetlands, development within the regulatory buffer of a creek will require compensatory mitigation. Edgecomb Creek originates in the hills east of the study area, flowing west and then south through the study area before draining into the middle fork of Quilceda Creek. Within the study Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 13 area Edgecomb Creek has been highly channelized for rail and agriculture (Marysville 2015). There is a narrow riparian buffer along the creek, but most of the land surrounding the creek has been converted to agricultural uses. The City of Marysville has proposed to relocate the creek from its current alignment into a more natural channel with a riparian corridor that would provide better fish and wildlife habitat. The conceptual channel alignment would include (Marysville 2008): ▪ a low-flow channel for year-round stream flow ▪ a high-flow channel to convey flood flows, to address flooding issues in the basin ▪ instream large woody debris for habitat ▪ 100- to 150-foot buffers on either side of the creek along the entire length of the project ▪ native vegetation planting in the channel and buffer ▪ off-channel reading habitat ▪ connection to hillside streams north of 162nd Street NE Creek restoration would also provide an opportunity to integrate habitat enhancement with stormwater management (Marysville 2015). WDFW has identified several culverts on Edgecomb Creek within the study area that pose a partial barrier to fish passage (WDFW 2018b). Removing or retrofitting those culverts to provide complete fish passage to all life stages of fish during all flows woul d improve salmonid habitat in the study area. The headwaters of Westphal Creek are within the study area, just south of SR 531 (USGS 2018). The creek consists of a straight channel, intersected by a few agricultural ditches, that flows due south through agricultural land into Quilceda Creek. A narrow vegetated riparian strip borders the creek. Hayho Creek originates from the wetland south of SR 531. The creek flows south in a straightened channel through agricultural fields on the site before discharging into Quilceda Creek south of the AMMIC. Several agricultural ditches flow into the creek. A narrow riparian buffer consisting primarily of shrubs and small trees borders the creek. The City of Marysville plans to maintain Hayho Creek in its current alignment. Portage Creek originates in the hills east of Arlington and flows generally northwest through the northeast corner of the study area before draining into the Stillaguamish River approximately 3.4 miles west of the study area. Portage Creek is designated by the City of Arlington as an Urban Conservancy-Low Intensity shoreline, the purpose of which is to protect and restore ecological functions while allowing a variety of low-impact uses that do not deplete the shoreline’s physical and biological resources; or substantially degrade the ecological functions or the natural character of the shoreline area (Arlington 2012). The City of Arlington Comprehensive Plan (Arlington 2017) notes that surface water quality and quantity of riverine and riparian habitats Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 14 are in a state of recovery, but that it is “of paramount importance that…waterways be protected and managed to improve listed species population status and recover their functionality.” All the creeks in the study area either have documented salmonid presence of have the potential to provide habitat for salmonids, several of which are federal ly listed as Threatened or as State candidate species.

State Candidate species are fish and wildlife species that will be reviewed by WDFW for possible listing as State Endangered, Threatened, or Sensitive 2Documented habitat is aquatic stream habitat presently utilized by fish based on reliable observations; presumed habitat is aquatic habitat lacking reliable documentation of fish use where, based on the available data and best biological opinion/consensus, fish are presumed to occur; modeled habitat is based on stream gradient mapped from USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle maps. The natural gradient barrier for chum is 8%, and 12% for other species. 2.3 Key Findings & Implications for Plan A large percentage of the underdeveloped portion of the Marysville portion of the Study area is adjacent to Hayho, Westphal, and Edgecomb Creeks and, based on desktop assessment, also has a high potential for wetlands due to poor infiltration, shallow groundwater, and mapped hydric soils. Development planning in the MIC would benefit from a more thorough field assessment of wetland presence and an integrated evaluation of stream realignment options. A better understanding of these two factors will enable more effective planning and allow the Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 15 development to plan for, integrate, and optimize the management of the environmental resources, rather than managing the environmental resources on a project-by-project basis as development occurs. 3.0 Land Use & Plans & Policies 3.1 Conditions 3.1.1 Acreage & Location The AMMIC includes a total land area of 4,019 acres, of which 57% is in Arlington and its urban growth boundary and 43% is in Marysville and its urban growth boundary. The AMMIC is located close to Paine Field and I-5 as well as State Routes 99, 531, and 530. It is well connected to British Columbia, the Seattle area, and Oregon and California in the south. 3.1.2 Land Use Patterns Industrial uses dominate the area. Many manufacturing, processing and fabrication firms, especially related to aerospace, are located east and northeast of the Arlington Municipal Airport, as well as along Smokey Point Boulevard. Warehousing, Transportation, and Utilities (WTU) firms cluster around the airport and major arterials. See Exhibit 3-1. The publicly-owned Arlington Municipal Airport is a significant use in the AMMIC. The airport presently consists of approximately 1,189 acres and includes industrial, commercial, and public land uses, in addition to aviation operational areas. The majority of industrial development the airport is concentrated east, near 67th Avenue NE and northeast towards the Arlington Central Business District (CBD). The Airport Industrial Business Park, located west of 59th Avenue NE, within the northeast quadrant of the airport includes approximately 130 businesses that lease land and/or facilities from the City of Arlington. These businesses involve aviation or aviation- related uses associated with the airport as well as non-aviation uses. The majority of commercial, office, and business park development is located south and west of the airport and concentrated along 172nd St/SR531 NE, near the I-5 interchange. Aviation operational areas include runways, taxiways, and general aviation facilities. The majority of the airport’s existing general aviation facilities are located near 59th Avenue NE. This portion of the airport includes a variety of aircraft storage facilities, with over 400 T-hangars. The airport also includes support facilities such as for fire protection, commercial and private fueling facilities, and weather monitoring. (Barnard Dunkelberg Company, 2012) Approximately 590 acres, primarily in the Marysville portion of the MIC, includes undeveloped parcels in the category of agricultural use. These parcels may be under current use property tax classifications under Washington’s Open Space Tax Act.

Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 17 Reflecting its designation as a countywide MIC, close to 80% of the land in the AMMIC is zoned industrial. Zoning classifications include light industrial (40%), general industrial (22%), and aviation flightline (19%). Commercial zones constitute 13% of the MIC, and the Airport Business Park zone, another 4%. See Exhibit 3-2. In Arlington, the area to the east and northeast of the airport is zoned General Industrial. The Arlington Airport is zoned Aviation Flightline for airport operations and uses directly relat ed to aviation operations. A small area north of the airport is zoned for Light Industrial. The area to the west of the airport is zoned for the Airport Business Park, a roughly 125-acre contiguous parcel located near 172nd Street. In addition to the base zoning, most of the land area in the AMMIC is under an overlay called the Arlington Airport Protection District (APD). The APD is a zoning overlay that limits residential development density, certain emissions impacts, and special functions such as outdoor gatherings and institutional development near the Arlington Municipal Airport. The majority of the Marysville portion of the AMMIC is zoned Light Industrial. This zone also includes the whole of the Smokey Point Master Plan Area. In addition, an area around Smokey Point Boulevard from 152nd Ave north to the MIC boundary is zoned General Commercial.

As a countywide MIC, the AMMIC is recognized in countywide planning policies and in the cities’ comprehensive plans. Local Comprehensive Plan policies that address industrial activity in the MIC are included below. 3.2 Individual City Conditions 3.2.1 Arlington Goals & Policies The Arlington Comprehensive Plan includes several policies that promote an employment center with manufacturing, industrial, repair, and airport uses. Relevant goals and policies are included below. Land Use Element Industrial Land Goals: GOAL-12 Maintain a sufficient industrial land base in order to support a high ratio of jobs to households. Policies: PL-12.1 Industrial land uses should be located in the vicinity of Arlington Airport in order to take advantage of existing and anticipated transportation systems. PL-12.2 The amount of land planned and allocated for industrial use should be reasonably scaled to meet the demonstrated demand. PL-12.3 Industrial uses should be encouraged to share facilities such as internal roadways, parking facilities, and rail access. PL-12.4 Industries with high job numbers that support the local resource processing needs should be encouraged. PL-12.5 The City should pursue the designation of the Arlington -Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center (AMMIC) in the Snohomish County Countywide Planning Policies and regional designation by Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 23 PL-12.6 The City should support the development and growth of the Arlington-Marysville AMMIC by supporting a concentrated manufacturing and industrial base and by planning for future growth and infrastructure improvements. PL-12.7 The City should develop appropriate zoning, design review and landscaping regulations so that manufacturing uses within the Arlington portion of the AMMIC are buffered from adjacent or abutting residential uses. PL-12.8 The City should ensure that at least 80% of the property within the AMMIC is planned and zoned for industrial and manufacturing uses. Compatible non-industrial uses shall be as allowed under PSRC certification and be conditioned to mitigate for potential conflicts with current and future industrial uses. Goals: GOAL-13 Minimize the adverse impacts of industrial uses to adjacent and abutting residential properties.

Industrial sectors (manufacturing, construction, warehousing, transportation, and utilities) account for close to 80% of the total employment in the center. Exhibit 4-1 Employment by Sector, 2016 Source: Puget Sound Regional Council, 2018; BERK, 2018. 4.1.2 Potential Future Industries The AMMIC is well located on rail and interstate corridors and within short-haul trucking distance of Canadian distribution networks and ports of entry. In addition, the thriving aerospace industry in Snohomish County and access to facilities at Paine Field, and the Port of Everett, are competitive advantages. Based on these assets, t he AMMIC is ideally situated for the following established and emerging industrial sectors: ▪ Advanced Manufacturing. Given the proximity to Boeing’s Paine Field, the strength of the aerospace industry in Snohomish County, and growing shortage of land viable for industry, the AMMIC is likely to be an attractive location for advanced aerospace manufacturers and suppliers. The presence of several businesses in the aerospace sector, engaged in materials fabrication, coating, machining, and process engineering, is another benefit.  Light Aircraft Manufacturing. Growing demand for general aviation from within the region, as well as outside, from places like China, make the Arlington airport a prime Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 32 location for business in light aircraft manufacturing. The presence of businesses such as Top Cub Aircraft is an asset. Top Cub Aircraft’s new manufacturing facility at the airpo rt includes parts inspection, assembling processes, aircraft maintenance, painting and flight testing. ▪ Maritime. The AMMIC is strategically located and attractive to the maritime industry. Growing costs of doing business in Seattle and proximity to the ports of Anacortes, Bellingham and Everett, are likely to attract maritime businesses to the area. ▪ Food Processing. In addition to proximity to the aerospace industry, the AMMIC enjoys good access to the many Western Washington food processors. The AMMIC also has easy access to the Port of Everett and its connections to the fisheries of Alaska, British Columbia , and the Pacific Northwest, as well as the Idaho aquaculture community. Given these factors, there is strong potential for the AMMIC to attract food processing businesses. ▪ Mass Timber. A number of local communities in the region are exploring the potential of high-value timber products, such as cross-laminated timber (CLT), a new engineered wood product that is part of a larger category of products called “mass timber.” Given its location and the burgeoning interest and demand for these products, the AMMIC is well positioned to attract manufacturing or related businesses in the mass timber industry. 4.2 Key Findings & Implications for Plan The AMMIC is mostly in industrial use and contains nearly 7,597 jobs. A market study in 2016 showed there was market potential for job growth in the AMMIC. Businesses in advanced manufacturing, especially related to aerospace, food processing and mass timber production are likely to find the AMMIC to be an attractive location and contribute to job growth. Many of these businesses can be attracted to the area through appropriate investments in infrastructure, and workforce development, as well as appropriate zoning and design standards to ensure industrial uses continue to be viable.

The main policies impacting the AMMIC are summarized below. ▪ Support development and operations within the AMMIC. ▪ Develop a road network to facilitate access and circulation by truck, transit, car/van pools, pedestrians, bicyclists, and other alternative transportation modes. 5.2 Areawide Conditions 5.2.1 Travel Characteristics The travel characteristics of workers in the MIC subarea were assessed u sing 2015 US Census data via OnTheMap.1 Exhibit 5-1 below shows the percentages of where workers of the MIC live. 1 https://onthemap.ces.census.gov/ Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 34 Exhibit 5-1 2015 Areas Where MIC Workers Live¹ Source: Census on the Map, 2018; BERK, 2018. 5.2.2 Roadway Network Roadway Characteristics The AMMIC is served by several major highways and a number of arterial and local streets. The key roadways are described below. Interstate 5 (I-5) borders the west side of the AMMIC in North Marysville, connecting between Marysville to the south and Mount Vernon to the north. It is a six -lane freeway with a posted speed limit of 70 mph north of 172nd Street NE (SR 531) and 60 mph to the south. Existing access to the AMMIC is primarily via the ramps at SR 531/172nd Street NE. State Route 9 (SR 9) runs north/south east of the AMMIC connecting between Lake McMurray to the north and Snohomish to the south. It is a two-lane facility with a posted speed limit of 55 Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 35 mph. Access to the AMMIC from SR 9 is provide d via at-grade intersections with SR 531/172nd Street NE and Kent Prairie Road. 172nd Street NE (SR 531) runs east/west connecting I-5 to the west and SR 9 to the east, bisecting the AMMIC. It is primarily a two-lane facility with a posted speed limit of 35 mph. 67th Avenue NE is a classified as a minor arterial by the City of Arlington running north/south along the eastern portion of the AMMIC. The roadway generally has a posted speed limit of 50 mph and a predominately two-lane cross section. Smokey Point Boulevard/State Avenue runs north/south along the western side of the AMMIC. It is classified as a principal arterial by the City of Marysville with a posted speed limit of 40 mph. In the study area the roadway typically has a five -lane cross section with four travel lanes and a central two-way left-turn lane. North of SR 531/172nd Street NE, Smokey Point Boulevard narrows to two lanes. 51st Avenue NE/Airport Boulevard is a north/south roadway that runs through the center of the study area and west of the airport in Arlington. It is classified as an arterial north of SR 531 by the City of Arlington. The federal classification of 51st Avenue NE a major collector south of SR 531. The City of Marysville classifies 51st Avenue NE as a minor arterial south of SR 531. South of SR 531 the roadway has a posted speed limit of 40 mph and a two-lane cross section, and 25 mph north of SR 531 with a three-lane cross section. Planned Roadway Improvements Several transportation improvement projects are currently planne d in and around the subarea to increase capacity, reduce conflicts with the railroad, and improve connectivity. As the area develops arterial, collector, and local roads will be provided to establish a quarter-mile grid road network, where possible. These projects are shown in Exhibit 5-2. Key projects for the AMMIC are discussed below.

This new interchange relieves some of the traffic pressures at 172nd Street NE, which is currently the main interchange to access the AMMIC. The I-5/156th Street interchange would not be constrained by the rail line so freight traffic will not be impacted by t he rail traffic. ▪ 156th/152nd Street Connector The City of Marysville is planning to extend 156th Street NE east of I-5 from Smokey Point Boulevard to 51st Avenue NE/152nd Street NE. A 4/5 lane arterial would be constructed including sidewalks and a multi-use trail. The project includes potentially a new connector to 152nd Street NE to the west at about 47th Avenue NE. There is also an extension of 156th Street NE west of I-5, which would provide a grade separated crossing of the mailine tracks west of I-5. ▪ 172nd Street NE (SR 531) Widening Project (43rd Avenue NE to 67th Avenue NE) This project is part of the Connecting Washington funding package and includes widening SR 531 between 43rd Avenue NE and 67th Avenue NE from a two- to a four-lane roadway. Roundabouts would be installed at the intersections of 43rd Avenue NE, 51st Avenue NE, 59th Avenue NE, and 67th Avenue NE replacing the currently signalized traffic control. ▪ SR 531 Rehabilitation & 40th Avenue NE Signalization This project would include roadway and corridor improvements on SR 531 (172nd Street NE) from 43rd Avenue NE to Smokey Point Boulevard, eliminate left turn pockets, and install medians. Improvements to the pedestrian and bicycle facilities would also be completed. A traffic signal would be constructed at the 40th Avenue NE/SR 531 (172nd Street NE) intersection. ▪ Construction of 173rd Street NE (Phases 1-3A) The three phases of this project would construct a new roadway (173rd Street NE) from Smokey Point Boulevard to 51st Avenue NE. ▪ Construction of 47th Avenue NE This project would construct a new two-lane roadway (47th Avenue NE) connecting between SR 531 (172nd Street NE) and Airport Boulevard. ▪ Construction of 160th Street NE (Smokey Point Boulevard to 51st Avenue NE) Under this project, a new three-lane roadway with pedestrian and bicycle facilities between Smokey Point Boulevard and 51st Avenue NE would be constructed. ▪ 51st Avenue NE Widening (88th Street NE to SR 531) The City of Marysville is planning to widen 51st Avenue NE between 88th Avenue NE and SR 531. The roadway would be widened in several phases to reconstruct the two-lane road to a three-lane cross-section with curb, gutter, and sidewalks as well as bicycle lanes. Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 38 ▪ 152nd Street NE Widening (51st Avenue NE to 67th Avenue NE) This project would widen the existing two-lane roadway to a three-lane roadway with curb, gutter, and sidewalks. Improvements to the existing at-grade railroad crossing could be implemented as part of this proposed project. In addition, a long-term proposal is to extend 152nd Street NE to SR 9. Traffic Volumes Weekday PM peak hour traffic volumes were collected from various sources including both the Arlington and Marysville Comprehensive Plans. The weekday PM peak hour (one hour between 4 and 6 p.m.) is typically used for evaluating transportation system needs as it represents the highest travel activity experienced during the day. Weekday PM peak hour volumes in the AMMIC are shown in Exhibit 5-3. As shown in Exhibit 5-3, the highest volume of traffic in the AMMIC is along 172nd Street NE (SR 531) with over 1,500 vehicles during the weekday PM peak hour within the AMMIC. Other roadways that carry a large amount of traffic are Smokey Point Boulevard with approximately 1,300 vehicles and 136th Street NE with 1,000 vehicles within the AMMIC during t he weekday PM peak hour.

Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 40 Traffic Operations Intersection traffic operations at intersections in the study area were conducted as part of the Arlington and Marysville Transportation Plans. Methodologies developed in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) were used to evaluate the performance of signalized and stop- controlled intersection with the Synchro software. The weekday PM peak hour traffic volumes were used as the basis for the LOS assessment. At signalized and all-way stop-controlled intersections, LOS is measured in average control delay per vehicle and is typically reported using the intersection delay. At stop-sign-controlled intersections, LOS is measured in delay per vehicle and is reported for the worst movement. Traffic operations for an intersection can be described with the same range of levels of service as roadways (LOS A through F). The LOS standards for the AMMIC study area are described as follows: City of Marysville LOS Standards. ▪ LOS E “mitigated” for arterial-arterial or arterial-collector intersections along the following corridors (LOS E “mitigated” means that the congestion should be mitigated through improvements, transit, ridesharing, or other travel modes when the intersection falls below LOS E).  SR 529/State Avenue/Smokey Point Boulevard between the south City limits and the North City limits.  4th Street/64th Street NE (SR 528) between I-5 and SR 9. ▪ LOS D for all other arterial-arterial or arterial-collector intersections along City corridors. WSDOT. LOS D for HSS facilities in urban areas and LOS C for HSS facilities in rural areas. Snohomish County LOS Standards. Unlike neighboring jurisdictions, Snohomish County LOS standards are defined based on arterial operations and not intersection LOS. Level of service along key arterials is measured by calculating corridor travel speeds. LOS standards for key arterials are defined by Snohomish County based on area type and arterial classification. In rural areas LOS standards range from LOS C to LOS E depending on the roadway type. In urban areas LOS E is considered acceptable. City of Arlington LOS Standards. The City of Arlington has adopted LOS D or better for arterials and collectors. In addition, the LOS D standard applies to local roads that pr imarily serve its central business district or industrial areas. The City of Arlington further recognizes and adopts the most current LOS standard along state highways, as described above. Exhibit 5-4 below summarizes the most current (2011 for Arlington, 2014 for Marysville) existing weekday PM peak hour LOS at MIC study intersections.

Level of service as defined by Highway Capacity Manual 2010 (Transportation Research Board, 2010) 2. Average delay per vehicle in seconds. 3. The Arlington Transportation Element only provided LOS values and no specific delay was identified. 4. Due to limitations in the HCM2010 methodology, this intersection was evaluated with the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 methodology (Transportation Research Board, 2000). As shown, all of the study intersections currently operate at LOS D or better except for the Smokey Point Boulevard/172nd Street NE intersection. This intersection operates at LOS E during the weekday PM peak hour. As noted previously, along both Smokey Point Boulevard and 172nd Street NE (SR 531). In addition, there are plans to provide additional east -west and north-south connections resulting in a gridded road network that would shift some traffic from these routes to parallel corridors. Traffic Safety Collisions were reviewed as part of the Arlington and Marysville Comprehensive Plans. According to the City of Arlington Comprehensive Plan, between the years of January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2010 the following intersections had five or more accidents over the 5-year period in the study area: ▪ 43rd Avenue NE/172nd Street NE (SR 531) ▪ 51st Avenue NE/172nd Street NE (SR 531) ▪ 67th Avenue NE/172nd Street NE (SR 531) ▪ 67th Avenue NE/188th Street NE ▪ 59th Avenue NE/172nd Street NE (SR 531) Contents · DRAFT October 2018 Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan 42 As described previously, improvements have been identified along SR 531 and at key intersections. Safety would be considered with these improvements. The City of Marysville reports collisions based on collisions per million entering vehicles (MEV). Typically, any intersection with a collision rate greater than one collision per MEV should be monitored. There were no reported intersections with an MEV over one in the study area. 5.2.3 Freight Network As a manufacturing and industrial center, the AMMIC is rooted in freight traffic. There are a number of employers in the area generating truck traffic, as well as two railroads both operated by the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad. One BNSF line runs near the I -5 corridor and carries both freight and passenger rail traffic. Passenger rail is operated by Amtrak. This line runs from Vancouver, WA to Vancouver, B.C. with the closest passenger stations in Everett and Stanwood. The second BNSF line is located on the east side of the AMMIC boundary and runs from the City of Arlington connecting with the I-5 mainline track at approximately 116th Street NE in Marysville. The majority of rail crossings are at-grade in the AMMIC. These at-grade crossings include west of the 172nd Street NE (SR 531)/67th Avenue NE intersection, along 152nd Street NE east of 51st Avenue NE, west of the Smokey Point Boulevard/136th Street NE intersection, and along 51st Avenue NE south of 144th Avenue NE. At-grade crossings impact the roadway system within the AMMIC and access to the AMMIC from both Arlington and Marysville. The presence of trains delays freight movement and increases congestion and safety issues at the crossings. As noted previously, there is a planned improvement to provide a grade separate interchange at I-5 and 156th Street NE, which would improve freight access to the AMMIC. The Washington State Freight and Goods Transportation System (FGTS) is used to classify state highways, county roads, and city streets according to average annual gross truck tonnage they carry as directed by RCW 47.05.021. The FGTS establishes funding eligibility for the Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB) grants and supports designations of HSS (Highways of Statewide Significance) corridors, pavement upgrades, traffic congestion management, and other state investment decisions. The FGTS classifies roadways using five freight tonnage classifications, T-1 through T-5. Routes classified as T-1 or T-2 are considered strategic freight corridors and are given priority for receiving FMSIB funding. The classifications are as follows: ▪ T-1: Over 10,000,000 annual gross tonnage (over approximately 800 trucks per day). ▪ T-2: 4,000,000 to 10,000,000 annual gross tonnage (approximately 320 to 800 trucks per day). ▪ T-3: 300,000 to 4,000,000 annual gross tonnage (approximately 24 to 320 trucks per day). ▪ T-4: 100,000 to 300,000 annual gross tonnage (approximately 8 to 24 trucks per day). ▪ T-5: Over 20,000 gross tonnage in a 60-day period. Exhibit 5-5 shows roadways within the MIC classified as T-1, T-2, and T-3. The roadways with the highest classification, and heaviest amount of truck traffic, are I-5, SR 531, 67th Avenue NE, and Smokey Point Boulevard.

Sidewalks are present on 51st Avenue NE/Airport Boulevard north of SR 531. Bike lanes are also provided along 51st Avenue NE/Airport Boulevard north of SR 531. As mentioned previously, a number of planned improvement are proposed which would inc lude construction of sidewalk and bike facilities. Two multi-use trails exist in the study area and include the Centennial Trail and the Airport Trail. The Centennial Trail runs along the eastern side of the AMMIC and is approximately 23 miles long connecting the Cities of Snohomish, Lake Stevens, and Arlington. The path is a 10-foot wide paved trail used for walking, bicycling, hiking, and horseback riding. There is limited connectivity between Marysville non-motorized facilities and the Centennial Trail.

Community Transit provides service in the AMMIC study area via two routes which primarily operate along Smokey Point Boulevard and 51st Avenue NE. Access to additional routes is provided at the Smokey Point Transit Center. Routes 201 and 202 provide service between the Smokey Point transit center in Arlington and Lynnwood. During the weekdays, service for both routes is provided between approximately 4:40 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. Additional weekend service is also provided. There are three park and ride facilities located near or along the periphery of the AMMIC. The Arlington Park and Ride is located west of SR 9, north of W 4th Street. There is also a park and ride facility in Marysville located north of SR 531 and west of I -5. In addition, the Smokey Point Transit center is located north of SR 531 and west of Smokey Point Boulevard. This transit center provides access to six Community Transit routes. Community transit has long-range plans to provide Swift, it’s bus rapid transit, along Smokey Point Boulevard with a stop potential stop at the I-5/156th new interchange and Smokey Point Transit Center.

The area currently has limited connectivity and the operations of the transportation system are impacted by conflicts between rail, vehicular, and non-motorized traffic due to conflicts at-grade crossings. Planned transportation improvements in and around the AMMIC will increase capacity, reduce conflicts with the railroad, and improve connectivity. This includes widening of 172nd Street NE between 43rd and 67th Avenues and the new I-5/156th Street NE interchange and extension of 156th Street NE , which will increase capacity in the area. Approximately 45% of AMMIC employees live within less than 10 miles of the subarea and approximately 30% live within 24 miles of the subarea. Employees living proximate to the AMMIC makes non-motorized and transit modes viable alternatives. Key bicycle routes include the Airport and Centennial Trails, which are not connected to each other and the Centennial Trail does not connect directly to the AMMIC. There are opportunities to connect these trails and improve the non-motorized facilities within the AMMIC as existing and new roadway improvements are completed. The Cities will consider bicycle and pedestrian facilities with improvements to existing roads and constructing new roads. In addition, transit service to the AMMIC area is currently limited and strategies will need to be explored to help reduce reliance on single occupant vehicles (SOV). Improvements may consider additional or improved service such as bus rapid transit and connectivity to park and ride facilities.

The City is interested in planning stormwater conveyance and regional facilities in the eastern portion of the Marysville portion when warranted by redevelopment. The conditions in the Marysville portion of the MIC are not conducive of regional scale infiltration facilities, so low impact development stormwater management will need to be evaluated on a site-by-site scale or using dispersed facilities to meet the requirements of the stormwater manual. 6.1.2 Drinking Water Potable water is provided by Arlington and Marysville to the AMMIC. The City of Marysville provides water service for the Marysville portion of the AMMIC and the Smokey Point Neighborhood within the southwest corner of the Arlington portion.

Discharges through the outfalls are based on seasonal flows and Permit limits. Though the WWTP is expected to have sufficient hydraulic capacity through 2031, the projected loadings for 2031 exceed the plant’s de sign capacity for both BOD5 and TSS. The City has long-term plans for two additional complete-mix aerated cells to ensure adequate treatment capacity (Marysville 2011). Several wastewater capital projects are planned in the Marysville portion, but have been delayed due to lack of development. The City is currently planning for wastewater system expansion associated with planned extension of 156th Street NE from Smokey Point Boulevard NE to 51st Avenue NE. 6.2 Key Findings & Implications for Plan In the Arlington portion of the MIC, most infrastructure is in place and the City has begun planning for service in the underdeveloped portion of the portion, south of 172nd Street NE. Some infrastructure will need to be upgraded as redevelopment occurs and the City h as begun planning for this. Much of the Marysville portion of the MIC lacks infrastructure to serve development. The City has begun planning some infrastructure expansion near the Smokey Point Neighborhood. As the Study Area develops, infrastructure will need to be planned, designed, and built to support the intended land use. The City will need to decide how much to invest in infrastructure to encourage more rapid development. Alternately the City could expand infrastructure more incrementally as development occurs. Tools such as local improvement districts, latecomer fees, or investments by external entities could be used to facilitate infrastructure construction .

This amendment is submitted under the 2018 Comprehensive Update docket. Provisions of State law allow for adoption of sub‐ area plans outside of the normal Comprehensive Plan docketing process. The subarea plan will guide future growth and development within the City’s portion of the manufacturing Industrial Center. 1. RCW 39.70A0130(2) allows for the adoption of sub‐area plans outside of the docket period, provided the appropriate environmental review has occurred under RCW 43.23C. The relevant review has been completed. 2. Well attended public meetings were held on April 4 and October 16, 2018. At those meetings, information was disseminated, and input sought which would inform the development of the sub‐area plan. 3. The draft Arlington‐Marysville manufacturing Industrial Sub‐area plan was presented and discussed at the November 6th planning Commission workshop. 4. The Sub‐area plan and Existing Conditions Report were presented and discussed at the November 20th Planning Commission meeting. 5. Snohomish County has already recognized the Arlington‐Marysville manufacturing Industrial Center; the proposed new comprehensive Plan Sub‐area plan will allow the City to continue the application process with PSRC for regional recognition of the Center. 6. The Sub‐area plan is consistent with both County planning policies and goals as well as PSRC’s Vision 2040 policies. Conclusion and Recommendation: Based on the foregoing findings, the Planning commission herby recommends, on a unanimous vote, that the City Council approve passage of the Arlington‐Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center Sub‐area plan as recommended by staff.

Because all City employees contribute to the production of public records requests and all employees earn different salaries or rates of pay, the public records officer would have to be privy to salaries of all employees in order to calculate the invoice; (b) Employees supplying scanned records to the public records officer would be required to track time spent, thereby creating a burden for those employees without work stations as well as additional work not assigned in many employees’ job descriptions and or union contracts; (c) The City’s public records officer would be required to maintain a record of all employees who contribute to each part of a public record request and potentially charge different amounts for multiple scanned pages; (d) The City uses more than seven document scanning machines with different costs and lease agreement fees which change from time to time. The cost of supplies for the City’s various scanning machines is subject to change based on current market rates. Calculating the portion of the machines and supplies used toward CITY OF ARLINGTON FEE SCHEDULE RESOLUTION #—2018-010 XXX Page 21 scanning public records would require knowledge of the cost of supplies and an in-depth analysis of timing and application multiplied by each contributing employee’s hourly rate of pay; and (e) The response time to a public records request may be delayed in order to calculate scanning costs and create an invoice with different rates of scanning charges.

CITY OF ARLINGTON FEE SCHEDULE RESOLUTION #—2018-010 XXX Page 23 CITY OF ARLINGTON _________________________________ Barbara Tolbert, Mayor ATTEST: _________________________________ Kristin Banfield, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: _______________________________ Steve Peiffle, City Attorney City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item: NB #4 Attachment I COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 3, 2018 SUBJECT: Waste Management Northwest Recycling Fee Rate Increase ATTACHMENTS: Waste Management Proposed Recycling fee Increase DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN Public Works – Jim Kelly EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: None BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A BUDGETED AMOUNT: N/A LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: Amendment to the Arlington ‐ Waste Management Franchise Agreement increasing recycling fees HISTORY: In 2018, China's government implemented new restrictions on what recyclables may be imported into their country, significantly impacting Washington’s recycling programs. Since China is a major buyer of Washington’s recyclables, their new restrictions are impacting all of Washington’s recycling collection and processing. As a result, Washington residents may see changes in what they can recycle, or other changes in their local recycling programs. In the short term, more recyclables are likely to go to the landfill because no markets are available. The City of Arlington has a franchise agreement with Waste Management (WM) for refuse collection and residential recycling/composting within city limits. The City and WM have discussed how to address these changes to the recyclables market, both WM and the City are recommending minor increases to the Single Family Residential (SFR) and Multi‐Family Residential (MFR) recyclable collection program. ALTERNATIVES: Continue discussions with WM on how to accommodate impacts from China’s restrictions RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to accept the Waste Management proposed recyclables rate increase and incorporate the rate increase into the Arlington‐Waste Management Franchise Agreement by amendment, pending final approval by the City Attorney.
