Activate commercial, mixed-use and transit-oriented areas There is an integral connection between urban planning, place making and economic development. Attracting people is central to economic development, and creating active, vibrant places is key to attracting people. The land use strategy works towards achieving these objectives with these key points: ✓ Streets are busy with people ✓ Ground floor spaces are inviting ✓ People with a mix of incomes live in the area ✓ High density, mixed uses near light rail and high-capacity transit are created LU-22: Designate street types (see Figure 24) within Metro Everett to function as a design and use overlay as follows: • Pedestrian Streets —these streets will have buildings with ground floors that are predominantly occupied by non- residential uses, such as retail, commercial and business uses. Building fronts are tailored to pedestrians versus automobile traffic. Design standards would require minimum ground floor transparency, minimum awning coverage, and direct pedestrian access. Pedestrian streetscapes would be of a type that emphasizes pedestrian scale, with wide sidewalks, appropriately selected and frequent-spaced street trees, and other amenities to make walking a pleasant experience. y , ate. `� 'H►, ' `� 1 ice , Al' i • z ,,, .41 'i'+ 1' ' ' Imo'' ,~ —.....
