Everett Parks and Built Environment Council Committee: Nov. 12, 2025

The City of Everett Parks and Built Environment Council Committee met on November 12, 2025, primarily to discuss updates to the manufactured home overlay zone ordinance. Staff provided an update on outreach efforts to manufactured home park owners and residents, noting strong support for creating a specific residential zone permitting manufactured home communities without changing existing density limits. The ordinance aims to address concerns about one-for-one unit replacement and the unique ownership and rent challenges faced by residents, many of whom are older adults or low-income. The committee also discussed plans to delete an outdated municipal code chapter related to manufactured home park establishment, as no new parks are planned. Additionally, the meeting previewed upcoming updates to critical area regulations, focusing on environmental buffer adjustments and improved code clarity. No contract awards or procurement actions were discussed during this meeting.
