b. Esplanade District—this will be the public walkway bordering the shoreline edge along the entire length of the existing Marina and the new 12th Street Marina in the location shown on Attachment B. This district will consist of a pedestrian walkway, with seating areas, viewing places and landscaping that provides a continuous means for public access and circulation. In places the landscaping will include multiple expanded "mini- parks"throughout the District. Generally ground floor shops and restaurants and second floor professional offices will border the esplanade. This district will include short-term parking and loading areas available to boat owners and guests, and for shoreline viewing, subject to the findings and requirements of the traffic and parking management studies. c. West End District—the area along the westernmost edge of the site will contain a mix of pedestrian-orientated uses, which may include restaurants, cafes and a hotel. In addition, a major public plaza will open to the Snohomish River Channel. A pier would be added as a visiting "tall ships" style mooring dock. d. Captain's Walk District—the area located roughly in the center of the site will function as a major pedestrian connection between the existing Marina and the new 12`h Street Marina. This area will be designed to emphasize pedestrian activity and will use special paving materials, building designs and displays to emphasize the historical character of the waterfront and Everett's heritage. If vehicular access is provided, measures shall be included to reduce traffic speeds. The district will include ground floor retail and service shops and upper-level offices (including professional offices) along with potential live-work spaces. The south end of this district is anticipated to include an area reserved for a public market. e. Wharf's Edge District—this area is located in the western portion of the Property landward of the 200-foot shoreline management zone. This will be the residential neighborhood with a variety of housing types. Parking will be integrated into the design of the buildings so as to minimize surface parking and maximize open space. Retail and service uses may be located on the first floor of buildings fronting the marina to the south and the Captain's walk to the east. The housing would be organized around a major east-west pedestrian way or"promenade" (13`h Street) containing small stopping places and extensive landscaping. This promenade would be open to the public. This district will also contain another north-south pedestrian connection. This north-south pedestrian connection will connect the new, proposed, marina esplanade with the esplanade along the existing marina. f. Gateway District—the eastern portion of the property adjacent to West Marine View Drive except the portion in the Craftsmen District. This district will serve as a main gateway into the site for autos, cyclists and pedestrians. It will provide the transition area that will accommodate larger buildings for corporate/high technology users and larger retailers. It could also be used to as the location for a parking structure to provide long term site parking for boaters and for special events, depending on the outcome of the traffic study and parking management plan. 8
