EXHIBIT 1 TO ORDINANCE <br /> The following guidelines discuss urban character, architectural features and other aspects of the <br /> design. They are intended to be general in nature and be balanced with other goals of the <br /> development plan. <br /> II. Streetscape <br /> 11.1 General Design <br /> All street design should be consistent with the standards of the Riverfront development. Sidewalk, <br /> driveway, and curb-cut paving design should consider the adjacent and overall design. <br /> Accommodations for mass transit, present and future, should be made within vehicular right of ways. <br /> On street parking should be provided where practical. <br /> Pedestrian circulation should be given priority over other modes of transportation. Pedestrian <br /> crossings with enhanced paving will be provided at all intersections and mid-block locations to <br /> provide for safe pedestrian access. All shopping street frontages should be designed to ensure that <br /> a minimum of eight feet on either side is dedicated to unrestricted pedestrian movement, with a <br /> minimum 6 feet additional width provided for outdoor dining and other activities as deemed necessary <br /> by the developer and restaurants shall be encouraged and allowed to incorporate private outdoor <br /> dining which may be separated from public spaces. <br /> Due to the landfill condition of the site, street trees are considered impractical. A variety of shallow- <br /> rooted plant materials are to be substituted to provide necessary screening and desired aesthetic <br /> conditions. Landscape parkways shall be a minimum of 6 feet in width. Shrubs, grasses, and <br /> groundcovers may be installed in lieu of areas typically provided with street trees. Plantings should <br /> be layered and continuous. <br /> Site amenities, signage, and pedestrian lighting will be provided at all interior roadways. Benches, <br /> chairs, trash and recycling receptacles should be provided for pedestrian comfort and located as not <br /> to impede pedestrian movement. The use of these and other street furnishings such as newspaper <br /> racks, bus shelters, and container plantings should contribute and meet the standards of the <br /> Riverfront environment. <br /> W71' <br /> arum <br /> Everett Riverfront District Master Plan <br /> Mixed Use Development <br /> Design Guidelines <br />
