East UGA Subarea Plan

The Subarea Plan establishes guiding principles and policies for future development within the East UGA Subarea and will be applied to land areas upon annexation into the City. The Subarea Plan is generally consistent with the Snohomish County East UGA Plan adopted by the County on May 30, 2002, which applies to land development proposed in unincorporated areas.

Policies contained in the Subarea Plan address land use, population growth, housing, transportation, capital facilities, utilities, parks and open space, and environmentally sensitive areas. These policies are based upon the Mill Creek East UGA Framework Policies adopted by the City Council in March 2000.

The Subarea Plan lays the foundation for creating attractive, livable neighborhoods, with a broad range of housing types and densities, as well as commercial services in neighborhood-oriented centers. The Plan also establishes a hierarchy of roads to accommodate development, and provides for pedestrian amenities, streetscape design, park and recreation facilities, and preservation of environmental features. Levels of Service for transportation, surface water, and park and recreation facilities have been established to support proposed land uses within the East UGA Subarea. One of the most significant elements of the Subarea Plan is the Village Center designation at the intersection of Seattle Hill Road and 148th Street SE. This designation was created to provide for a mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented neighborhood center in the heart of the Subarea. Intended to be urban in character, this neighborhood center would include high density residential development, neighborhood-oriented retail uses, offices, and open space.
