Rucker Avenue is gateway entrance into downtown Everett and the building facades and street frontages, especially facing Rucker, should strongly emphasize the architectural, landscape and aesthetic design quality as envisioned in the City's Comprehensive Plan policies for downtown gateway corridors. The applicant is required to provide an architectural treatment which breaks up the large building facades and reduces the appearance of a flat surface for both the proposed medical building and parking garage.

The windows should not be reflective "mirror" windows, but should allow for visibility into the building from the street. The medical building should also have a prominent pedestrian entrance(s) on Rucker Avenue. The ventilation openings in the Rucker Avenue facade of the parking garage should give the appearance of bang windows with a perpendicular orientation as in residential or office building rather than a sloping ramp appearance. 28.
