Section C: Master Plan affectionately referred to as "The W." Bike for rent kiosks and pedi-cabs for hire offer options for those who prefer to ride rather than walk. Environmental design in The Esplanade is created by "Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)-rated designers for safety while its design expresses and reflects the uses around it as it passes through each district, changing the planting pallet, lighting and fixtures to add interest. Buildings in The Esplanade include: public restrooms and marina showers on the south side, 2 acres of this district include developable lots for a 60-room boutique hotel and spa and fine dining restaurant on the west end. Additionally, a marine club house (envisioned to be the historic Weyerhaeuser building) provides year-around meeting space and offices for marine- related activities. The jewel of The Esplanade is Boxcar Park, a two-acre park opening to the Snohomish River on the western edge of the pier with a natural children's playground, an outdoor live performance venue, kite flying and picnicking terraces called the Sunset Steps (i.e., terraced to optimize the westerly sunset views at the water). This Park is informal; designed to extend its sister park, The Jetty, across the river through its open spaces. The Esplanade trail meanders through the park separating the uses on each side of the trail; Rocky Islands play ground on the west and the live performance play house —Weyerhaeuser Muse, to the east. Assuring that the marina area appeals to children is a priority for the Port of Everett. Rocky Islands provides a series of miniature islands and provide a treasure trove of natural tidal pools to showoff marine habitat and allow for memorable searches for sea creatures, driftwood fort building or marine biology talks. The grassy hills terraced to make up Sunset steps give beginner kite boarders a location to practice maneuvers and enjoy a picnic before heading out to The Jetty. The Muse continues its valuable community use through a formal garden, community meeting spaces and a stage for concerts, events and outdoor screens to show marine-movies for guests at the dock. Millwright District The Millwright District includes 11.85 acres of developable land and is the primary commercial and office area within Waterfront Place; home to small businesses, craft industry shops (retail production), and pedestrian trails and marine vistas. This district has three blocks, and the most extensive street network, and includes Millwright Loop (type D general circulation), two interior cross streets (56' wide type F with angle parking) and a Woonerf(type G, 56' wide pedestrian-friendly street). There are two parking garages (structure) and one large surface lot. Buildings in ,,,, comeru,e c. the district include the icon building at the east end of the Figure 7 Craft Industries Make and Sell Onsite Millwright Loop, a smaller building to the south of the icon, two waterside buildings on the north and the four Timberman Towers connected by a 2-story parking structure. Timberman parking is concealed behind commercial space wrapping the garage on the ground floor and providing for retail production uses similar to Grandville Island shops. Above the ground, office and apartment uses are anticipated. The use of some of this area for office provides opportunities for shared parking on nights and weekends and festival areas.
