For buildings not adjacent to a street, it refers to the building elevation(s) that features the primary entrance to the uses within the building. Depending on the context the term is used in, it may also refer to the portions of a façade associated with uses within the building. For example, a “storefront” is a type of building frontage. “EMC” means the Everett Municipal Code. “Façade” means the entire street wall of a building extending from the grade of the building to the top of the parapet or eaves and the entire width of the building elevation, except where the context of the term refers to a particular segment of the building elevation. For buildings not adjacent to a street, the façade refers to the building elevation containing the main entrance or entrances to the building. “Large tree” means tree species that have a canopy at least 30 feet in diameter at maturity. “Mixed-use” means a building that includes a mix of permitted residential and non-residential uses. “Modulation” means stepping forward or backward a portion of the facade as a means to articulate the facade. See also “vertical building modulation.” “Roofline” means the highest edge of the roof or the top of a parapet, whichever establishes the top line of the structure when viewed in a horizontal plane. "Storefront" means the principal façade of a ground-level use where portions of the interior are normally intended for public access. It may be oriented towards public streets, public or private sidewalks or plazas. “Streetscape” means the space between the buildings on either side of a street that defines its character. The elements of a streetscape include building façades, landscaping (trees, yards, bushes, plantings, etc.), sidewalks, street paving, street furniture (benches, kiosks, trash receptacles, fountains, etc.), signs, awnings, and street lighting. “Vertical building modulation” means a stepping back or projecting forward vertical walls of a building face, within specified intervals of building width and depth, as a means of breaking up the apparent bulk of a structure’s continuous exterior walls. “Weather protection” means a permanent horizontal structure above pedestrian areas such as sidewalks and building entries that protects pedestrians from inclement weather.
