UD-I: Adopt height regulations and design standards that allow the tallest building to locate in the center of Metro <br /> Everett, mitigated by setbacks, architectural articulations and open spaces. See Figure 25 in Chapter Four, Land Use, for <br /> building height limits. <br /> UD-2: Buildings should be designed so that shadows on public spaces, such as parks and plazas, are minimized. Adopt height <br /> and design standards that minimize the casting of shadows on adjacent residential properties, particularly single-family <br /> neighborhoods that border Metro Everett on the north. <br /> Design for Uses <br /> In order to become great urban areas, new construction projects need to prioritize the aesthetic of the pedestrian environment, <br /> and emphasize diversity in innovative form and quality/durable materials. <br /> Multi-family Residential <br /> UD-3: Adopt multi-family residential development design standards which include clear connections to the public realm <br /> with pedestrian access, windows, architectural details and well-designed landscaping. <br /> UD-4: Multi-family development should be smaller in scale near the edges of Metro Everett, with large-scale high-rise <br /> developments in the center, and a mix of medium-scale mid-rise development in between. This can be accomplished through <br /> height and upper floor setback limits as shown in Figure 25 in Chapter Four, Land Use. <br /> UD-5: New multi-family residential development should integrate transit facilities and bicycle facilities into the site design. <br /> Commercial Uses <br /> UD-6: Adopt design standards that enhance Metro Everett with appropriate forms and designs, site plans that enhance the <br /> pedestrian environment, and by creating and maintaining high quality year-round public open spaces and infrastructure. <br /> Design standards should require storefront window transparency at the ground floor. <br /> UD-7: Adopt design standards for commercial uses which implement the street types and function set forth in Chapter <br /> Four, Land Use. (There are four street type designations: pedestrian street; pedestrian connector street; residential mixed- <br /> use corridor; and transit-oriented development street.) <br /> Chapter 8,Urban Design 9 August 29,2018 <br />
