Section G: Building Site & Design Standards Site & Goals Building Site Design Development Goals — The site design of the building considers the relationship of the building to its parcel of land and the larger context. The relationship between building and site must be integral. As an important element in the development of Waterfront Place Central, it relates directly to the following goals: • Create strong relationships between site and buildings • Create a pedestrian oriented waterfront destination for the City of Everett • Use Sustainable Design Practices to create a healthy community • Provide ample public access to the waterfront • Maintain and Enhance view corridors per the agreement with the City • Retain existing and expand maritime uses where possible Design Concepts — The following design concepts guide the character of Waterfront Place Central: • Waterfront Place Central will be a unique urban community with high quality design. • Industrial and Maritime history, orientation, and other influences will continue to inform the site design. • District identity will establish a family of district areas each with their own character. Districts will complement the overall identity. • Pedestrian oriented design will permeate the development, creating a lively public streetscape and waterfront District Site Design Elements—There are key elements and special site design considerations for each district: • Fisherman's Harbor —The Fisherman's Harbor area along West Marine View Drive and Seiner Drive _will provide an attractive; interesting, and active edge to.the Waterfront Place Central. Site design of Fisherman's Harbor buildings is important for framing the entry and portraying the character of the new community. • Craftsman District — Because this district maintains the Marine Commercial activities, special considerations of a building's site design must consider the movement and function of boat hauling, maintenance, selling, repair, and storage. Because travel lifts, air tools and other noise makers will be active during most of the working day, site design features must also be considered for noise attenuation. • Wharfs Edge — Site design will help to characterize this quiet, multi-family residential area. Some commercial activities that are supportive to or compatible with the primary residential use may be included at street level. • Millwright District - is the business center of the development. Streets are lined with production, retail shops, offices and the Timberman Trails tie the area to the other districts. • Esplanade District — connects and holds the entire project together and includes hospitality, and restaurants as important uses together with Boxcar Park and the Performance Venue. 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -82-
