5 200 feet from the ordinary high water mark. (Note that most of the tire fire/landfill site is outside of shoreline jurisdiction.) Vision Statement The tire fire/landfill site shall be developed as a high quality,master planned"lifestyle entertainment center". The master plan shall encourage public enjoyment of the river and shorelines and emphasize an attractive,people oriented mixed-use commercial center with significant public access, abundant parking, a plaza or public center area, and separation between pedestrians and automobiles encouraging pedestrian movement. The master plan shall orient buildings and facilities to maximize visual access to the river, estuary and mountain views and provide visual and direct access to the river and prominent riverfront trails. Examples from which to draw design and land use concepts include but are not limited to: Granville Island and Nanaimo in British Columbia,Portland's Riverfront,Pickering Farms in Issaquah, and Carillon Point in Kirkland. However,the design master plan should be tailored to Everett's needs and overall vision for the riverfront. The mixed uses may include commercial/retail, office, multifamily residential,public access to the shoreline, and ample trails and walkways. 5. Developable Portion of Simpson Site (See Figure 4.14): The area in the center of the Simpson site that remains after providing the buffer required by the SMP around the surrounding wetlands. Vision Statement The vision for the 45-acre"development pad"on the 136-acre Simpson site is an attractive, master planned campus-like office park or high quality mixed use office/residential development. A possible use for this site could be the headquarters for a high quality high tech company. The remainder of the Simpson site will be for conservation and park purposes except for transportation and utility access. The riparian corridor along the river will be preserved with public access including a trail. The southern portion of the site should be open space and park use. A road connecting the River Road with the 41St interchange via the development pad may be located on the southern portion of the site.
