Measure the elevation of the midpoints of each line of the rectangle. The average elevation of those four points represents the ‘average base elevation’. The maximum height is measured from the average base elevation to the highest point of the roofline. However, in Historic Districts and Central Business District building height is measured from the highest point of the sidewalk. (see steps on page 2) When are Height Calculations Needed? All permit applications for new buildings or additions that alter the height must have complete height calculations. When are Surveys Required? If the height of the building is within one foot of the maximum building height, surveys are required from a professional land surveyor. Refer to the Everett Municipal Code (EMC) 19.39.180. For example, if the height calculations for your proposed garage measures 14'-6" (between 14 feet and 15 feet); surveys will be required. The attached two forms: Base Elevation Survey and Height Survey will need to be completed by a surveyor. Submit the Base Elevation Survey with your permit application prior to land disturbance. The Height Survey form, used to verify the building’s height, will need to be submitted to the City inspector at the time the framing inspection occurs. What is the Maximum Height Allowed in the City of Everett? The maximum height varies by zone and type of structure. You may check the Zoning Code online at www.everettwa.gov. NOTE: The numbers in parenthesis in the Development Standards Table may have additional height requirements or refer you to another section of the code for height information.
