Section F: Public Realm <br /> level of activity. Open space at the Waterfront Place Central will fall into a general hierarchy <br /> based on use, anticipated amount of activity, location, views, and linkages. <br /> • Plaza: A public plazas is an active gathering place and serves to establish connections <br /> between buildings and other areas. The Pacific Rim Plaza at the end of 14th Street will <br /> serve as a formal open space, with hardscapes and a water feature at the heart of the <br /> project. <br /> • View Points and Vistas: Viewpoints are smaller scale plaza areas oriented toward views <br /> and designed to focus and enhance that passive use. These are placed around the edge of <br /> the pier and upper level stories when possible, and each have their own personality. <br /> • Semi-Public <br /> Courtyard: <br /> Courtyards provide <br /> semi-public open <br /> space meaning the <br /> space will be used _ • <br /> by the public only k� <br /> during day light <br /> hours. These — — <br /> courtyards are found <br /> in office and <br /> residential buildings <br /> and vary in size, but Figure 13 Envisioned Steps to Timberman Trails <br /> they will be <br /> significant amenities to the area. <br /> • Private Courtyards and Terraces: In some residential-only areas of the site, private space <br /> associated with the building occupants provides open space or pet walk areas. <br /> • Public Trials: The Esplanade is the primary and featured unifying the development. The <br /> Esplanade and pedestrian access area warp around the pier to the marinas and pedestrian <br /> zones. <br /> • Parking Courts. These are convertible parking areas that can be used to facilitate larger <br /> festivals or the special needs of a variety of events at the Seiner Wharf, around portions of <br /> the Millwright Loop and at the marina clubhouse. <br /> • Sidewalks: Sidewalks within the project are intended to connect and extend the public <br /> realm and to create synergy between buildings and spaces to unify the site. <br /> They are all carefully designed to ensure safe pedestrian transitions from the upland <br /> development, across parking areas, and to the marinas. <br /> 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -54- <br />
