Section G: Building Site & Design Standards Visibility- Designing for safety, security and character of place will include maximizing visibility. Visibility should be maintained in all areas by eliminating high obstructions such as tall walls and fences that act as visual barriers. Ground level lighting is required along all walkways to increase safety and security at night. Corner Lots-Special site design consideration will be given to buildings on corner lots. Where possible, site design should emphasize the corner through layout and design. If possible, main entrances to the buildings should be located at the corner. Building Access and Circulation Vehicular - The main access into developed sites will include the accommodation of vehicle parking. In the residential parking garages must accommodate all required parking. Site design will need to minimize the visual impact of parking while at the same time provide clear and safe access. The site will also include on-street parking on selected sides. Pedestrian - Safe access for pedestrians will be an important element of all site design. Access must connect building entries to the pedestrian network of the streetscape, plazas, and other public spaces. See Section F, The Public Realm. Bike- West Marine View Drive serves as a bike route to and from the site. It will connect with all streets at Waterfront Place Central. These streets connect internally through the site, with the Esplanade serving as a main bicycle route loop along the Shoreline. All developed areas of the site must accommodate bicyclists by providing secure bicycle storage facilities. These must be integrated into the site or building with consideration of safety, ease of use, and aesthetic character. Transit- Transit will access the site at 13th Street. Bus stops will be located at four convenient locations throughout the District, including stops near the 13th Street entrance and at the transit hub located across the street from the Waterfront Place Building... Site design of parcels must consider the potential for transit facilities and access to and from these areas. Parking On-street Parking - Selected streets, on-street parking will provide space for visitors and customers. Design of sites must coordinate location of building, parking lot, and garage access with on-street parking. Also, on-street parking must be coordinated with location of building uses. See Section E for guidelines related to on-street parking. Parking Lots and Parking Courts - The Esplanade Marina parking lot, the parking lots in the Craftsman and Fisherman's Harbor Districts will provide space for visitors, customers, and workers. Design of sites must coordinate the orientation of the building with parking to minimize its visual impact, but still provide safe and efficient building access. Garage Parking - Access to the garage parking will need to be designed with both safety and visual appearance in mind. The intent is to visually diminish the presence of parking structures through screening strategies like wrapping them with buildings or lowering them into the sub grade. Shared Parking - In mixed use buildings, shared parking should be explored to maximize efficiency of parking/building square footage. 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -84-
