Encourage ground floor recesses or canopies to create weather <br />protected space for retail and service spill -out activities. <br />Create horizontal and vertical human -scale. Incorporate articulation and modulation of ground floor <br />fagades to create a sense of rhythm and visual interest. Use awnings, overhangs, and building <br />entrances to provide shelter and create human dimension. <br />Recognize the ways diversity in the ages and sizes of buildings contribute to economic and social <br />vitality. <br />Encourage and strengthen small-scale commercial and residential development. <br />Encourage building and street designs that respect the unique built natural, historic, and cultural <br />characteristics of Everett's centers, corridors, historic residential pattern areas and open space <br />corridors, as described in the Urban Form element. <br />Strive to achieve a "greener" character over time, reflecting the spectacular natural landscape within <br />and surrounding the City of Everett. <br />Preserve major stands of trees, riparian corridors, and vegetated ravines both because they are a <br />significant part of Everett's image, and for the community's social and mental well-being <br />Manage all trees in public rights -of -way, parks, and other public properties, and expand the city's <br />overall tree canopy, replacing trees which must be removed by others. <br />Leverage the creative talent of artists and designers to shape the identity of place, enliven a sense of <br />belonging, and drive a compelling vision for the built environment. <br />Foster an urban environment and cultural activities that are true to the values and needs of our <br />citizens to encourage and sustain authentic experiences. <br />Develop and implement arts experiences that shape the identity of place. <br />Recognize the city's diversity and foster inclusion when naming public places, natural <br />features, and streets. <br />DISTRICTS AND NEIGHBORHOODS <br />DD-15 <br />DD-16 <br />DD-17 <br />DD-18 <br />Distinctions and differences between districts are beneficial. Allow, facilitate, and encourage <br />neighborhoods to become more distinct over time. Recognizing that such distinctiveness arises most <br />of all from the people themselves in a place, the city will ensure robust, ongoing community <br />engagement and participation over time in the ongoing development of Everett's neighborhoods and <br />districts. <br />Foster the development of complete, compact, and connected communities with a diverse mix of <br />housing types to accommodate various income levels and family sizes. <br />Encourage the diversity of design in multi -unit residential developments, including provisions for <br />diverse and innovative fagade treatments and architectural styles. <br />Provide for development, building and site design that promotes physical activity. <br />11/26/2024 <br />DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT <br />PROPOSED GOALS/POLICIES/ACTIONS <br />Page 2 <br />
