Everett staff proposes deeper street‑facing frontage, more flexibility for multiunit buildings

Associate Planner Danielle Marshall said one of the code edits is a tweak to neighborhood residential development standards to require that a street‑facing dwelling unit have 40 feet of frontage instead of the current 30 feet. "We would like to up that to 40 feet of the street to make sure that we do have that street facing presence," she said, describing the change as intended to prevent shallow, unusable front yards and to make room for future dwelling units.
