Public Hearing on a Proposed Zoning Amendment
Section 33 – “Commercial Triangle Economic Development District” –
of the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance

The Everett Planning Board will conduct a public hearing on Monday, November 13, 2023 at 6:00PM in the Speaker George Keverian Room (Room 37, Everett City Hall) to consider a proposed Amendment to Section 33 of the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance. This proposed amendment is as follows:

To amend Section 33(E)(1), “Uses Allowed by Right”, to add a new subsection
33(E)(1)(f) – “Multifamily residential developments; provided that the maximum
building height is 3-stories, or thirty-five (35) feet.”

To amend Section 33(E)(2), “Uses allowed by special permit from the planning board”,
to delete the existing 33(E)(2)(a) – “Multifamily residential developments; provided, that
the minimum density of such a development shall be fifty (50) units per acre, which
density requirement shall be prorated based upon the size of the development parcel.” In
making this change, all subsequent existing subsections shall be re-sequenced [33(E)(2)(b)
shall be re-sequenced to 33(E)(2)(a); 33(E)(2)(c) shall be re-sequenced to 33(E)(2)(b), etc.].

To amend Section 33(F) “Dimensional Requirements”, (5) “Height” by adding the
following bolded language to the existing language:

“Height. Multifamily (non-mixed-use) residential developments shall be limited to
a maximum height of thirty-five (35) feet. All other buildings shall be limited to a
maximum of eighty-five (85) feet. Other structures on the roof shall not count towards the
height unless the area of such structures exceeds thirty-three percent (33%) of the area of
the roof or any enclosed structure or mechanical equipment exceeds twelve (12) feet in
height. The height of any building may be increased to a maximum of one hundred (100)
feet upon the grant of a special permit.”

All persons interested in or wishing to be heard on the proposals may attend and participate in person. This proposed amendment, along with all other projects to be discussed at the meeting, can be found on the posted Agenda at the following link:
