Changes proposed for riverfront plan
San Diego developer Oliver McMillan aims to raise height limits for some buildings, rearrange where it places some residential buildings and change how it restores some wetlands as part of a 221-acre outdoor shopping mall planned along the Snohomish River.
The city of Everett offers a 41-page addendum to the Everett Riverfront development’s environmental impact report, which includes the proposed changes.
The Everett Planning Commission is scheduled to review the revised environmental document at 7 tonight at Everett Station’s Weyerhaeuser Room, 3201 Smith Ave.
