Section A: Using Supplemental Design Guidelines Intent The Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines are a tool for communicating the expectations for Waterfront Place Central (WFC) character to designers, engineers, developers, investors,jurisdictions, and the public. The guidelines include images, suggestions, and design principles to help convey, define, and plan the future for this important new community at Everett's waterfront. Some guidelines are general in nature to inspire creativity and allow flexibility, while others convey more specific guidance. Together, their intention is to create a new community that has both a strong identity and a rich and interesting diversity between districts. They are also intended to compliment and supplement the Waterfront Central Design Standards and Guidelines first approved as part of the Port Gardner Wharf Development Agreement between the City of Everett and the Port of Everett in 2003, and then modified 2014 for Waterfront Place Central. These guidelines replace the "Waterfront Place Central Design Guidelines" referenced in the general condition subsection 3.6.5 in the 2005 version of the Development agreement. They are intended to assist in successfully implementing the design themes expressed by the Waterfront Place Central master plan. Design is fundamental at creating the unique character of place at Waterfront Place Central. A Design Team's planning process, design, and construction documents should evolve from the careful and thorough analysis of the site and the building's character, setting, and features. Owners, Architects, and design team consultants must approach a project with an understanding and regard for the existing and future features and constraints. Users These Guidelines as a supplement to the underlying Waterfront Place Central Design Standards and Guidelines are intended to be used by: • Design Development Teams including Developers, Architects, Urban Designers, Landscape Architects, Artists, and Engineers. • City and Port of Everett Organization Organization of the Design Guidelines document parallels the development process.
