and quality represented in the site development plan identified as Exhibit A, and the "Port Gardner Wharf Design Guidelines." 7. The Planning Director is directed to reject any plan that does not provide the level of detail, architectural quality, and character represented by the site development plan identified as Exhibit A, and the "Port Gardner Wharf Design Guidelines." A decision to reject a plan or permit based on inconsistency with the site development plan or Port Gardner Wharf Design Guidelines must not be arbitrary and must be made in writing and supported by detailed findings and outlining the identified inconsistency. 8. In reviewing plans for individual phases of development and individual buildings, the Planning Director shall have the authority, if he deems it necessary to determine consistency with the character and quality represented in the site development plan identified as Exhibit A and the "Port Gardner Wharf Design Guidelines," to retain the services of an independent architect with appropriate expertise as an independent third party. The selection of the architect shall be mutually agreed upon by the City and the applicant. 9. View corridors shall be maintained to the western water's edge along the lengths and width of the existing 13th Street right-of-way, and on 14th Street as depicted on Exhibit D. In these corridors, construction of buildings will not be permitted, though temporary structures, landscaping and pedestrian improvements may be allowed. Elements that may encroach up to 5 feet into the view corridors include: decks and balconies, architectural features such as cornices and architectural terminations, roof eaves, and bay windows. Retail canopies and awnings may encroach 10 feet at the first building floor. 10. That portion of the Property fronting West Marine View Drive shall be treated as a City Gate Way Corridor with the appearance and landscape standards established in the Design Standards & Guidelines Document (Attachment G) for this project. 11. Curb cuts in the sidewalks along the westerly side of West Marine View Drive frontage no longer needed as a result of this project shall be removed, i.e. the sidewalk shall be restored to a level surface along the length of the removed curb-cut so it matches the existing sidewalk level and appearance at both ends of the cut area. 12. The attached public circulation map represents the conceptual layout (Attachment D) of this element of the project. 13. Public access corridors, walkways and plazas shall be substantially provided as conceptually depicted in Attachments B and D, in which 14 such linked and "expanded" public spaces are shown on the Property. 14. Design of the proposed amphitheater shall be such that sound is carried away from residential areas as much as possible. Stage, seating and area lighting shall be directed down so as not to shine toward residential areas. The location of this feature may move to another location, the conditions of which must be acceptable to the City. 15. Pedestrian access to all parts of the shoreline touching the North Marina area will be made available to the public, during the course of the phased development of the project. Boat launching and haulout areas may be restricted by the Port during the movement of boats. 12
