Section G: Building Site & Design Standards Building Setback • No building setback is required except as is necessary to meet codes and landscaping other requirements of these design guidelines, or as may be needed for building design architectural character or for creation of stoops, courtyards or terraces. Views and Visibility View Corridors — As noted in the Site Design section, buildings will maintain a view corridor at 14th Street. Roof Treatments — Building design will optimize views from the hillside residents to the east through high quality design, height limits, and by providing roof amenities such as planted balconies, rooftop courtyards, terraces, and quality roof material on pitched roofs. Mechanical equipment will be screened and roof top color and materials will be selected to minimize glare and visual intrusion. One Site Views — Views from the new residential and other prime buildings on the site will be protected and enhanced by building design, as well as the site design considerations such as building orientation, tree type and placement, and control of streetscape lighting. Building design opportunities will maximize quality views through the organization of floor plan layout, size and location of window glazing, placement of decks,patios and courtyards. Visibility — Safety and security measures will include maximizing visibility by eliminating architectural obstructions and visual barriers in areas of safety concern. Placement, type, and illumination levels of lighting are also required to meet safety and security standards. Parking Garages- • Parking Garages are required to be part of the main building structure. They must meet all parking requirements and quantities as established by their use in accordance with all City of Everett Codes and standards. • Parking garages must be "wrapped" or screened and covered by building usable space and amenities or located within structure while keeping blocks walkable. No parking structures will be substantially visible from any street,residence, or business, except at garage entries. Ventilation openings must be covered with louvers or grills composed with the building elevation. • Safety and security measures are required in parking garages. Building design considerations for garages such as good lighting, no hiding places, surveillance, and well- defined pedestrian access through parking to elevators are all required in building garages. Canopies,Awnings,and other Overhangs— Canopies, awnings and overhangs will provide weather protection and serve to add a transitional scale to building facades. These structures should be provided at the access areas of all commercial/retail buildings. Such covers are required for main entrances of residential buildings and commercial office buildings. Canopies and awnings may project 4' to 10' over sidewalks, but stay at least 2' from the street edge. Cover for portions of exterior decks, courtyards, and patios are also encouraged. 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -91-
