Introduction a. History and Purpose The Arlington Riverfront is no stranger to human uses including residential, transportation, food supply, recreation and Commerce. The Stillaguamish Tribe used the site for approximately 5,000 — 9,000 years before European Pioneers started to settle in the area. In the year 1888 Haller City was founded and soon after Arlington was platted in 1890. Arlington was eventually incorporated in 1903. The railroad came through the area to cross the river just below the confluence of the North and South Forks of the Stillaguamish. The initial settlement in the area brought retails stores, hotels and of course saw mills. Over time as Arlington grew in the upland areas the commerce and industrial activity moved away from the river. The residential use expanded and the City of Arlington began establishing Public Work sewer and water utility infrastructure adjacent to the river. Haller Park also became established with a boat launch and recreation area for local families. The City with through a planning process titled Haller Environs (Appendix E) in the mid 1990's. It identified a number of ideas that were contributed by members of the public. The plan was never formally adopted by the City Council at the time but many of the proposed ideas reflect the same ideas contributed from the current public outreach. The City recognized the potential of the Round House property which is immediately west of Haller park. The City Council in discussion with the Stillaguamish Tribe and Snohomish County pursued a Conservation Futures grant to acquire the park for development of a stormwater wetland, passive park and potential fish hatchery pond. The City purchased the property in 2000 following the award of a Conservation Future grant. The State was also making changes to both State Highway 530 and Highway 9. They built a new Highway 9 bridge which removed the high traffic flow from being adjacent to the Haller Park access. They also re-routed Highway 530 4 traffic from travelling down Division in Arlington, and shifted the high flow to the entire length of Burke Avenue. This action increased the viability of commercial development along Burke. Recent 2012 traffic counts indicate there are between 8,000 and 12,000 trips per day on Burke Avenue. Old Town Zoning and Comp plan 2003 identified commercial uses in OTBD-3. OTBD — 3 is generally the entire planning area other than those areas zoned Public and Semi -Public where the Parks and Public Works infrastructure is located. In 2010 the City purchased the 150 acre Country Charm Park and Conservation Area from the Graafstra family following the closure of the Dairy Farm. This area nicknamed the "Central Park" of the Arlington Community has great potential to provide serene nature experiences as well as large festival activities bringing visitors to Arlington. The Economic Development plan that was developed in the mid-2000's highlighted Riverfront as having potential for redevelopment. The long awaited completion of the Centennial Trail between the Town of Snohomish and Arlington heading north to Skagit County and Darrington were anticipated to provide a great economic boost to Arlington. The City Council identified Riverfront planning at a retreat in 2010 as future project for the Community Development department. The City also initiated the update of the Shoreline Master Plan (SMP) and FEMA Floodplain regulations in 2010 allowing for the implementation of Riverfront Master Planning outcomes. The SMP encourages increased access to the shorelines of the state while providing protection and restoration strategies for the critical habitat areas. b. Planning Area ( Text and Map) The planning area will utilize the Southern edge of the Old Town Business District 3 as the Southern boundary. East and West Boundary are established by Country Charm and Round House properties. North boundary is the Stillaguamish River, other than Twin Rivers Park. Figure 1. Planning Area map c. Allowed uses by current regulations (Land Use, Shoreline, Floodplain regulations) The planning area currently has three zones that include Old Town Business District (OTBD) 3, RHD and P/SP. There are portions of the area that are also regulated by the Shoreline Master Plan and Floodplain Regulations. The various land use regulations have all been considered and integrated to work together to support a sustainable redevelopment strategy for the riverfront. The Comprehensive plan indicates the OTBD 3 area is 45.6 acres in size. The OTBD Districts allows customer -intensive retail, dining, entertainment, personal service, and similar businesses that are conducted primarily indoors. Mixed -use (commercial /high density 0 residential) uses are also allow in this district. It is intended that the OTBD remain, and in fact expand its role as a business and social hub for Arlington, servicing residents while attracting people outside the City as well. OTBD is broken into three sub -districts: OTBD 1, 2 and 3. OTBD-1 is intended to cover N. Olympic -Arlington's historic downtown. OTBD 2 and 3 allow a slightly larger range of commercial uses, including those more automobile oriented, while OTBD 3 has a larger range of residential uses. Special requirement, such as historic design guidelines, have been adopted in order to help implement the City's economic development strategy for OTBD. A substantial portion of OTBD 2 and 3 contain single-family residential uses that have great potential to redevelop into commercial uses. There are roughly 50 acres of Residential High Density (RHD) zoned land in the planning area. RHD is intended for higher density multi -family development as well as recreation, community and public/quasi-public uses serving those residential uses. RHD allows any form of single- family, two-family, and multi -family residential and residential accessory uses (detached, attached, 1 du/lot, more than 1 du/lot, conversions, mobile/manufactured homes, accessory apartments, townhouses, condominiums, apartments, duplexes, group homes, special care homes, tourist homes, hotels, motels, etc.) with no density limits, provided that the project meets the site requirement of the Land Use and other pertinent codes and adopted development guidelines. Public/Semi-Public is intended to accommodate public and semi-public uses, such as schools, government services and facilities, public utilities, community facilities, parks, etc. on publicly owned land. The Shoreline Master Plan was recently adopted and approved by Department of Ecology in August 2012 includes provisions to support the Riverfront Master Plan. The map (Figure 2) indicates the Historic Shoreline Business District designation. The map also indicates Urban Conservancy — low intensity meeting the needs of the Country Charm Park and Conservation Area. The map also identifies the Urban *4XVIVAT, 2 the Haller Park area.

Encourage a mixture and variety of uses and activities in the Historic Shoreline Business District, particularly those that: b. provide an opportunity for the public to actively or passively enj the Stillaguarnish River. I 2. Maintain and enhance the historic character of the district by prohibiting incompatible uses and requiring compliance with design guidelines. 3. Allow development only in those areas where impacts and hazards caus by the proposed development can be effectively mitigated and where the environment is capable of supporting the proposed use in a manner that protects ecological functions. I 4. Ensure that new development provides visual and physical public access, consistent with constitutional and statutory limitations, unless such access shown to be incompatible due to reasons of safety, security, or impact to shoreline. In heu of on -site improvements, the Shoreline Administrator mn] allow for off -site improvements if said improvements would provide a greater public benefit (WAC 173-26-221 (4)(c) and (d)). 5.

Water -dependent and water -enjoyment recreation facilities that do not deplete the resource over time, such as boating facilities, angling, wildlife viewing trails, and recreational beaches, are preferred uses, provided significant ecological impacts to the shoreline are avoided or mitigated. 3. Developments and uses that would substantially degrade or permanently deplete habitat or the physical or biological resources of the area should not be allowed. 4. During development and redevelopment, all reasonable efforts should be taken to restore ecological functions. Where feasible, restoration should be required of all nonwater-dependent development on previously developed shorelines. 5. Construction of new structural shoreline stabilization and flood control works should not be allowed except where there is a documented need to protect public safety or ecological functions and mitigation is applied. New development should be designed and located to preclude the need for structural shoreline stabilization or flood control during the projected lifetime of the development. 6. Activities or uses that would strip the shoreline of vegetative cover, cause substantial erosion or sedimentation, or adversely affect wildlife or aquatic life should be prohibited. 7. Preservation of ecological functions should be balanced with public access and recreation objectives and should have priority over development objectives whenever a conflict exists. M V,.

Nonwater-oriented uses may be allowed as a permitted use where the City determines that water -dependent or water -enjoyment use of the shoreline is not feasible due to the configuration of the shoreline and water body or due to the underlying land use classification in the comprehensive plan. Accessory parking is allowed in shoreline jurisdiction only if there is no other feasible option, as determined by the City. 13 5 Utilities, roads, and railways are allowed if there is no other feasible alternative, as determined by the City, and all significant adverse impacts are mitigated. 6 Marinas are prohibited. ' Fill in the floodpiain must meet all federal, state, and local flood hazard reduction regulations. a Fill in aquatic areas for the purposes of shoreline ecological restoration may be allowed as a permitted use if the Shoreline Administrator determines that there will be an increase in desired ecological functions. The Floodplain Regulations were recently updated in 2011 with final concurrence issues from FEMA in August 2012. The Riparian Habitat Zone map in figure 3 identifies those areas that are regulated by the new floodplain regulations. The regulations were written in concert with the Shoreline Master Plan to support the vision moving forward in the River Front Master Plan. The natural course of the river had been recognized and development adjacent to the natural course will be optimized to allow increased public use, while protecting the beauty and fish and wildlife habitat areas. Areas have also been identified in the SMP 14 restoration plan that can be targeted for mitigation when development requires impacts to critical areas or their buffers. d.

Community Vision a. Vision Statement A Community effort to develop a riverfront area where visitors and families find enjoyment mingling in eating places and small shops while experiencing the natural wonders of the Stillaguamish river. A destination with trails and walkways that connect recreational opportunities with lodging and evening entertainment. A friendly place where tourism activities bring returning visitors to stores and restaurants encouraging new economic opportunity. 15 b. Starting Point: Existing beneficial elements If Parks are a centerpiece for creating an inviting atmosphere the Arlington Riverfront is champion. There are 4 parks within the planning area, and a fifth (Terrace Park) abutting the southern edge near Country Charm. Haller Park (5-acres): Boat Launch, Covered picnic area, Benches, Beach Access, Fishing access, Playground, Bathrooms, 170 parking stalls, Centennial Trail, Eagle Trail, Eagle viewing Old -town Stormwater Wetland (21-acres): 5 Covered Picnic Tables, Benches, Educational Kiosks, Trails, Wildlife Viewing, Bird Watching, Fishing Access, Beach Access, Covered Pole Building, Round House Country Charm Conservation Area(138 acres): Large Event Venue, Trails, Beach Access, Fishing Access, Wildlife Viewing, Bird Watching, 24-site Campground for Tents/Campers, Off -leash Pet Area, Community Garden Area, future recreational field Twin Rivers Park (50acres): Softball fields, Soccer Fields, Trails, River Access, Fishing Access, Bathrooms Trails are also an existing benefit that links the Arlington Riverfront to local neighborhoods as well as the surrounding region. The Centennial Trail runs from the town of Snohomish north through Arlington to the Skagit County Line. There are estimates of 300,000 trail users per year in the Snohomish to Machias stretch, and those numbers are anticipated to occur to the north. The northern numbers may increase due to the eastward connection with the Whitehorse Trail that travels to Darrington. The trail section is not yet paved but will be paved in the near future. This section will offer a wilder alternative that allows riders an entry way to the Cascade foothills with beautiful views of peaks of White Horse and Three Fingers Mountain. 16 The existing Food Pavilion Grocery store provides park users a place to purchase food and picnic supplies. c. The envisioned Riverfront The Vision statement above provides the basic elements that were developed through the public comment process. The main river uses identified are Fishing Access, walking, swimming and enjoying the views from the Centennial Trail. There are other uses identified such as picnicking, tubing, walking dogs and bird watching but with less frequency. Uses people would like to see in the plan to assure there is City-wide benefit include shopping, good planning, variety of activities and central parking. In the planning for the area a large number of activities were provided in the questionnaires. Trails for walking and biking were the top requests. Next in priority was Picnic Areas, Boat ramps, Fishing Access, Access to River Front and Restaurants. The creation of a "water Trail" for boaters starting up at River Meadows park could provide designated stopping points/water trailheads providing bathrooms, garbage cans and picnic areas to keep protect the environmental health of the river. The stopping points/trailheads could be placed in locations with easy access for maintenance from adjacent roads. 17 What most of the commenters didn't want to see was development not compatible with protecting the natural beauty and vegetation along the riverbank. The comments reflect a general them of not allowing too intense development right along the rivers edge. This goal is reachable and compatible with focusing redevelopment of the appropriate existing residential quadrants in to small scale commercial activities hosting restaurants, shopping and specialty shops supporting outdoor recreational activities. 18 The number one answer of what is important to the public was the protection of the natural beauty along the riverfront. Just behind that in a positive response was that people would patronize a restaurant with an outside deck and view of the river below. The next two questions with high response were that the riverfront had good economic potential, and if lodging was available along the riverfront they would recommend it to visiting friends. 19 Like many of the towns that people travel to for recreation and vacation they seek lodging near the locations they are going to play. The Arlington riverfront offers a couple of locations that may be suitable for a Pacific Northwest them Bed and Breakfast up to a regional retreat facility. There are several large lot areas that could be redeveloped to host a Bed and Breakfast or Bungalow type setting with direct walking or view access to the river. The upland portion if the Country Charm area has 16-acres of land that could be developed in to a destination retreat facility that would directly adjacent to the 150+ acres of land to roam in the floodplain below. The location offers four -season opportunities for visitors when considering the temperate maritime climate and river and cascade mountain recreational opportunities. The river has some of the best fishing times in the late winter, while perfect for kayaking or floating in the late spring and summer. The Cascade Mountains provide opportunity for spring, summer and fall hiking. There are many areas up the Stillaguamish Valley where snowshoeing or cross- country skiing is available to those more adventurous. Like many of our wilder areas there is also hunting opportunity from wild mushrooms to rock hounding. 20 Local activities that have been identified as having high potential for use are a waterpark and Zip -line. Waterparks of all shapes and sizes seem to be popular during the warm summer month. The water park provides a good alternative to smaller children that may not be ready to play in the river setting. Zip -lines are also turning out to be a great attraction for people to try something different while they are on vacation. The opportunity to Zip across the Stillaguamish River from the bluff side of town down to the park below would be intriguing to young and old from local resident to visitor. 21 There are also a number of opportunities to improve the streetscapes in the planning area. Gilman, Burke and Haller all have opportunities where the streetscapes can be improved to better facilitate a pedestrian experience. Benches and way finding signs in the appropriate location would help guide visitors from shopping areas riverside to the shopping opportunities is old - town. There could be small areas established for the installation of art, games or exercise stations. d. Revitalization Strategy (Old Town Business District between Haller Park and Talcott) 22 It was proven in 2012 that Arlington has great potential to capitalize on our geographical setting adjacent to the farmland in the Stillaguamish Valley. The Arlington farmers market was named the #1 favorite small farmer market in the nation. This effort was led by the local volunteers and farmers running the market. Establishing a year -around market place may also be a potential use of several locations in the planning area that provide a unique experience for both local and visiting shoppers. The strategy would be to highlight the many advantages that could be capitalized on by various entrepreneurial and services that have a high likelihood of succeeding based on the available local resources. The City or Implementation Committee can develop marketing packets with references to the plan and share with targeted audiences. Examples would be sending packets to restaurants that focus on waterfront locations, or rafting companies that already offer services in Pacific Northwest Locations. 3. City Actions a. Coordinated Implementation Committee (CIC)(Group responsible for implementation of the plan) Many of the other plans that reviewed during development referenced a Committee or formation of a District to manage the implementation of the plan. It would seem appropriate for a small committee with a mix of local 23 retail business, residential, financial, and recreational and city government representatives to meet quarterly to assess the implementation of the plan. The plan would allow the City of possibly the Chamber of Commerce to apply for grants that would support the installation of infrastructure to support economic development activity. The group could possible begin a campaign to solicit the type of lodging or recreational business such as a kayaking company to come visit town and considered establishing a business. b. Marketing Strategy The key to the success of the plan will be to market the desired elements to people with interests in the particular element. There are several audiences that should be considered in the initial effort of attracting development of the elements to occur. There are options of sending out a plan solicitation of existing businesses in the greater Pacific Northwest, focus on local established restaurants and lodging or encourage local entrepreneurial types to pursue the recreational and entertainment elements. There is also an option of reaching out internationally within each element sharing our vision and invitation to see if their business may fit in our development strategy. The end result will probably be a combination local and regional expansion of services that can provide the services through the various seasons. Market can be done in several methods to market our plan to generate interest. A combination of e-message on web page, targeted e-messaging to business and vendors we desire, hard copy of marketing packet targeted to the specific element providers, or personal site visits from members of the Coordinated Implementation Committee (CIC). It can also be promoted through a poster that could be placed in City offices, local businesses and public events and celebrations in the region. c. Development Infrastructure (parking, landscaping, stormwater, trails) 24 The development of infrastructure to support the anticipated increased use of the area will be key to making it user friendly for both local and visiting users. Parking was a key discussion item from the beginning in developing a plan that provides citywide benefit. Parking in itself can place visitors in a general location within a couple blocks of the wide variety of activities the riverfront area will offer. Parking will need to be coordinated with the connectivity of trails and visible walking corridors that facilitate the ability of visitors to easily move from one neighborhood area to another. The recommendation to establish a parking strategy is to have the CIC host a short series of neighborhood/business ad -hoc meetings focusing strictly on the development of the parking grid. The ad -hoc group could identify parcels that may be purchased for the creation of parking lots and pathways providing a safe and navigable pedestrian experience. The group would also identify areas were ADA parking stall could be located in each of the general neighborhood areas. The plan should also provide several electric car charging stations with both long and quick charge options. With trails being a key element of our attraction parking lots should provide the facilities needed to bike riders such as bike racks, benches and garbage cans. Covered areas should be considered for the future when visitors may be utilizing mass transit to visit Arlington. An area should also be identified that can support parking for Recreational Vehicles and tourist buses that is easily found through wayfinding signage. Establishing a common landscaping theme in the planning area will be a basic element to improve the aesthetic experience for local and visiting users. Many of the main Right -of -Ways within the area have deteriorated over the years could easily be made more attractive with the addition of vegetated parking strips or installation of vegetated medians. Small public spaces could be inserted within the landscape areas for a variety of vendor (hot dog stands, music) uses that could be occurring during summer festival events. 25 The main trails have been established but the bluff trail identified as a priority in the initial planning strategy is not yet established. This is another element the CIC could work with an ad -hoc committee to work with the neighborhood partners to identify an acceptable location. The plan may require a short-term and long-term solution to facilitate those landowners continuing to use their parcel for residential purposes. It is again important to provide the necessary benches and garbage infrastructure to meet the needs of the variety of trail users and keep the area clean and maintained. The committee could include ideas such as exercise stations and berry bushes or fruit tree garden that could provide a healthy snack along the trail. Stormwater management is an important element with the location directly adjacent to the river. The City regulations will provide the guidance to implement low impact design in these areas. The tool most likely utilized with be the use of attractive porous brick pavers and rain gardens. Rain gardens when appropriately planted can also attract a variety of wildlife such as humming birds, butterflies, and birds that migrate along the rivers riparian cooridor. d. Signage (Commercial, way finding, entryway) The City recently completed a sign code update that will allow signage specific to the Riverfront planning character to be installed. The signage is key to informing the 8,000—12,000 drive by trips of the services and recreational opportunites available. A key component for the visitors is the wayfinding and entryway signage. With the current and anticipated traffic levels it will be important that visitors know ahead of time when and where they will need to pull off of Highway 530. Signage should begin outside of the planning area and provide frequent reminders they are heading the right direction. Likewise the signage should also provide clear direction to the other portions of the City to maintain the goal of this plan providing Citywide benefit. 26 A specific example provided in one of the public reach out meetings was difficulty in maneuvering from Olympic Avenue at Division down to the river. This location may require a "Riverfront Recreation & Shopping" entryway sign combined with a common landscaping median or parking strip theme that guides visitors to the riverfront. e. Partnerships (Private sector coordination, Adopt-a-park/trail, vendors) The City of Arlington has a long history of great partnerships between the public and private sector. This project certainly has opportunity for all that will benefit to contribute to the implementation and operation of an active Riverfront. The CIC will help to coordinate and target the opportunities at the temporal and spatial scale necessary as the activity grows. Intitial activities may be as simple as sharing in the efforts to keep the streets and sidewalks clean from garbage and pet waste. The one consistent theme from all of the reach out activity was to retain the natural beauty along the riverfront. Together the partners will work to assure that our management efforts maintains the ecological health necessary to keep the area attractive and safe. Visitors will not likely return if they find the area full of garbage and lacking the wildlife and natural wonders sought on a walk along the riverfront. Establishing a plan for vendors ahead of time will also provide multiple benefits. It will allow for the City to provide services to visitors through allowing vendors to operate in the public park area providing services such and kayak rental, fishing trips, bird tours and snacks such as hot dogs or popcorn are attractive to visitors with children. The vendor plan should include provision of water and electricity access. The CIC would be key to establish vendor limitations to assure they are not in direct competition with the permanent businesses in the Old town area. 4. Recreation Activities and Tourism a. Management and scheduling of activities 27 b. Staffing (events, garbage, rest rooms, traffic) c. Essential services for a favorable impression Key to any area with the vision of creating a destination where visitors will look forward to returning in the future is the sense of a safe environment. This is equally important to the local residents that will have visitors from out of the area sharing the trails and wild areas along the river. The sense of safety can be provided by a variety of methods. Keeping the area clean from graffiti, garbage and buildings in disrepair or vacant provides a standard for a healthy safe atmosphere. The security strategy could be a partnership with the CIC and Arlington Police department to identify standard procedures to deal with various situations such as large events or vagrancy. It may not be beneficial to have a strong police presence that could appear as though it is a dangerous place, but rather through design of pathway lighting and technology provide a landscape that is reduces the potential for trouble to occur.
