Prinata Lot <br /> Figure 2-Building and public frontage <br /> The concept streetscape map(Attachment 1) builds on the 2006 downtown and streetscape plans, <br /> expanding the percentage of public frontage/streetscape typologies.The concept focuses on the <br /> connections between Everett Station and downtown, as well as internal connections in the Metro <br /> Everett area.The concept map designates streets into primarily three typologies: pedestrian, pedestrian <br /> connectors,and mixed-use corridors. <br /> • Pedestrian Streets would have ground floors predominately occupied by non-residential uses <br /> such as retail, commercial and business uses. Frontages would be of a typology tailored <br /> predominately to pedestrians verses automobile traffic.Allowable frontage types would include <br /> design standards for minimum ground floor transparency, minimum awning coverage, and <br /> pedestrian access.Streetscapes would be of a type that emphasizes pedestrian scale,with wide <br /> sidewalks,frequent street trees,and other streetscape amenities to make walking a pleasant <br /> experience. <br /> • Connector Streets are important pedestrian routes but play a secondary role to Pedestrian <br /> Streets in connecting key areas and attractions in the metro area. By improving Connector <br /> Streets,the City can make these assets more accessible and visible. Most ground floor spaces <br /> would be occupied by retail, commercial,and business uses,with some limited residential <br /> allowed. Standards for frontage and streetscape types would be similar to pedestrian streets, <br /> but to lesser percentages. <br /> • Mixed Use/Mixed Use Transition Streets are those corridors by which people generally enter <br /> downtown.They tend to be highly visible and carry relatively high traffic volumes with less <br /> emphasis on pedestrian activity as in Pedestrian and Connector streets. Visual improvements, <br /> such as street trees and signage, are often the most important improvements, although some <br /> Mixed Use Streets—including Everett Avenue and Broadway—also are important for pedestrian <br /> circulation. Some areas on California east of Broadway are designated as transitional, as the <br /> potential with infrastructure improvements and future development lend itself to making it a <br /> mixed use corridor. Buildings along these corridors would be a mixed proportion of <br /> residential/retail-commercial and retail-commercial/business uses with most ground floor <br /> spaces occupied with neighborhood and city-wide oriented services.
