SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ACTION: The review at hand is for design review approval of the site, landscaping, and proposed building design of a new 15,120 square foot pre -fabricated modular outpatient cancer infusion center located within the Swedish campus at 21605 76th Avenue West in the Medical Use (MU) zone. The application includes a project narrative, survey, campus plan, site plan,.sections, landscaping, lighting, and photos for review (Attachment 1). The following is staff's analysis on the project. 11. GENERAL INFORMATION: I. Owner: Swedish Medical Center (Attachment 2). 2. Applicant: Brad Hinthorne, Perkins+Will (Attachment 2). 3. Tax Parcel Numbers: The site is comprised of many small tax parcels and this project will affect five (see Attachment 1): 00580700002500, 00580700002702, 00580700002801, 0058070002802, and 00580700003000. 4. Location: 21605 76th Avenue West (Attachment 1). 5. Zonin : Medical Use "MU" (Attachment 1). 6. Existing Use: Parking for Swedish Hospital campus. 7. Proposed Use: New cancer infusion center. PLN20110041-SwedisIt Cancer Inslrtit/c- Pa«e 12 8. Review Process: Because the project prompts review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), review by the Architectural Design Board (ADB) is required as a "Type III -B" development application. The ADB will review the design of the proposal and will make the final decision on whether the proposal is consistent with the design review criteria found in ECDC 20.11 (general design review), ECDC 16.30 and ECDC 16.50 (the zoning ordinance), ECDC 20.13 (landscaping), and the Comprehensive Plan. III. SEPA THRESHOLD DETERMINATION: Review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) was required because the project involves approximately 15,120 square feet of new commercial (medical) building plus approximately 1600 cubic yards of excavation. The City issued a Determination of Non -Significance (DNS) on August 19 (Attachment 5). No comments or appeals were received; both the City and the applicant have complied with SEPA requirements. IV. PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE: A notice of application and notice of hearing were published in the Everett Herald newspaper, posted at the subject site, as well as the other required locations (the public safety complex, city hall, and the library). All notices were also mailed to residents within 300 feet of the site. The City has complied with the noticing provisions in ECDC 20.03 (Attachment 4). V. TECHNICAL COMMITTEE: This application was reviewed and evaluated by the City's Fire District, Engineering Division, Building Division, Parks and Recreation Department, and the Public Works Department. The Fire Marshal and some questions on the applicant's SEPA application, which was supplemented by an addendum letter that discussed how any potentially hazardous materials would be dealt with (see Attachment 3). The Engineering Division noted that an RPBA/hot box would be required at the meter. Subsequent conversations with the applicant's representative indicated that this would be accomplished. They also noted that the rain garden design may not be adequate (see Attachment 3). ➢ Where is the hot box going to be installed? If outside at the meter, will it be screened with landscaping? ➢ Have the rain gardens been re -designed after speaking with our Engineering Division? What changes are proposed? What are the alternatives to installing a rain garden and how would that impact the site design? As always, a thorough review by all affected departments will be conducted with a complete building permit application. PLN201 1004 4 "Swedish Career In,�iilu[e- Page 13 VI. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT: 1. Topography: The entire project site is flat, but the campus property slopes down from 76th Avenue West towards Highway 99. A good illustration of the topography is shown on page 11 of Attachment 1: "Survey. " 2. Soils: According to the Soil Survey of Snohomish County Area, Washington, this site consists of "Alderwood-Urban land complex, 2 to 8 percent slopes" (map symbol 5). 3. Critical Areas: No critical areas were discovered on or adjacent to this site (CRA20110052). The applicant and the City have complied with the requirements of ECDC 23.40. VII. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS: This site is located within the Swedish Edmonds campus in the Medical Use zone of Edmonds (Attachment 1). The entire neighborhood was annexed into Edmonds on May 12, 1959. Across 76th Avenue West to the west you'll find a mix of multi -family and professional office buildings, many of which are medical. To the south sits Top Foods, Starbucks, and the future home of Dicks. To the east is Highway 99, which provides access to many commercial buildings. North of the site across 210h Street SW is a residential neighborhood which is a mix of multi -family and single-family homes. VIII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designation for this site is "Medical. " It is located within the "Hi -Rise Node" as well as the "Activity Center. " An excerpt from the plan is shown below, and specific criteria can be found in Attachment 7 (Urban Design Guidelines — General Objectives). 1. _Design Objectives for Site Design: "The development ofparking lots, pedestrian walkways and landscaping features is an integral part of how a building acts with its site and its surrounding environment. Good design and site planning improves access by pedestrians, bicycles and automobiles, minimizes potential negative impacts to adjacent development, reinforces the character and activities within a district and builds a more cohesive physical environment. " (Comprehensive Plan, page 91) Fourteen different objectives for site design are discussed in the Comprehensive Plan. Not every objective necessarily applies to every project; and, some objectives may be more important than others for a particular project. a. Vehicular Access: Vehicular access will continue to be taken from 76th Ave W. b. Location and Layout of Parkin: The parking proposed is in the middle of the campus distant from the perimeter of the site. c. Pedestrian Connections Offsite: There is an existing sidewalk along 70h Ave W. which connects pedestrians via existing and new pathways. d. Building Entry Location: The patient "drop off' area is to the north with another entrance to the south. e. Setbacks: The project meets the required 15 -foot street setbacks. PL.N201 10044 "Swedish C'ancer Institute" Pale 14 f. Building/Site Identity: The building is modular and modern, which fits well in the campus. g. Weather Protection: The patient drop-off area contains a large awning shielding cancer patients from inclement weather. h. Lighting: 21" bollards as well as in -ground lighting is shown around the north and east sides of the building on pages 28-29 of Attachment 1. i. Signage: Wall signage is shown on the elevation sketches but the size is unknown. Any new signage would require a building permit, and at that time, planning staff would review the proposal to ensure that the standards in the sign code were being upheld. j. Site Utilities, Storage, Trash and Mechanical: The trash (and equipment) enclosure will be provided along the south wall as shown on pages 13 and 24 of Attachment 1. k. Landscape Buffers: Lots of new landscaping is proposed as shown on the plans (Attachment 1, pages 16-17). Because this project is going to be located towards the middle of the campus and replaces a 2. Design Objectives for Building Form: "Building height and modulation guidelines are essential to create diversity in building forms, minimize shadows cast by taller buildings upon the pedestrian areas and to ensure compliance with policies in the city's Comprehensive Plan. Protecting views from public parks and building entries as well as street views to the mountains and Puget Sound are an important part of Edmonds character and urban form. " (Comprehensive Plan, page 94) Four objectives for building form are discussed in the Comprehensive Plan: a. Height: There are no known views. The buildings are shown at the height limit (which will be verified through detailed calculations during the building permit review). The perspectives in Attachment 1 are helpful in understanding the relationship between the pedestrian and the buildings. b. Massing: The building is a pre -fabricated square block. Windows and a four foot height difference apparent along the main entry helps break up the mass of the building, as does the horizontal cementious plank and panel rain screen system as shown on page 25 of Attachment 1. c. Roof Modulation: There is a four foot height change along the roof line, which is apparent in the 3D renderings. This serves to break up the mass of the building and to screen the rooftop elevator and mechanical equipment. d. Wall Modulation: The walls are not modulated, but the use of glazing and rain screens provide variation along the long walls which help to break them up in scale. 3. Design Objectives for Building Faeade: "Building Fagade objectives ensure that the exterior of a building — the portion of a building that defines the character and visual appearance of a place — is of high quality and demonstrates the strong sense of 11LN201 10044 "Swedish Ca n c e r /nstitute" Page 15 place and integrity valued by the residents of the City of Edmonds. " (Comprehensive Plan, page 95) Four objectives for building form are discussed in the Comprehensive Plan: a. Facade: There is an individual identity of the building proposed. The entry is apparent because of the large steel and timber awning. b. Window Variety and Articulation: There are lots of windows which are arranged in bands around the building. c. Building Facade Materials: Proposed materials include cement planks (with rain screens) and a steel and timber canopy. d. Accents/Colors/Trim: Unknown, but the renderings were printed in white and grey with a green -tint on the glazing. The proposal appears to be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. IX. PUBLIC CONCERNS: To date, one public comment letter has been received (Attachment 7), although several people have informally asked about the project. An email by Susan Dixon comments on the noise and traffic disruption to the area, especially during construction. She expresses her concern that she may not be able to attend the public hearing and appears to be generally opposed to this project because she feels it will negatively impact her property (her property location is not provided). Chapter 5.30 of the Edmonds City Code regulates noise and regulates sounds during the night time hours of 10:00 pm until 7:00 am. Access will continue to be taken off of 76th Avenue West through the existing paved interior road north of 218th Street that leads to the existing Puget Sound Cancer Center building (Attachment 1, page 7). Construction noise should be anticipated, but any noise, odor, dust, or vibration felt after the building is constructed is expected to be minimal and under the thresholds established in the code, specifically the property performance standards in ECDC 17.60. Nose in violation of these thresholds should be brought to the attention of Code Enforcement. The project was reviewed for any traffic impacts by the Engineering Division and no issues were noted. Even if she is unable to attend the public hearing, as a party of record, Ms. Dixon has a right to appeal an decision of the ADB, provided it's made in a timely manner with legitimate issues and with the appropriate fee. X. APPLICABLE CODES: 1. ECDC 16.62 (MU— Medical Use Zone) The purpose of this zone is to reserve areas for hospitals and related medical facilities and health care services. The minimum street setback is 15 feet and this zone also requires a 15 -foot side setback when adjacent to single-family residential districts. The maximum height is 35 feet. This project is in the middle of the MU zone and not adjacent to any RS -zoned property. Height calculations were not provided, however, after many discussions with Development Services staff, the applicant is aware of the 35 -foot height limit and the requirement to show compliance. An elevation view 131.N201 10044 "Swedish C'aiicer Insiiiiiie" Page 16 depicting a 30 -foot tall building is shown (Attachment 1, page 25). Height is calculated based on "average original grade" and will need to be assessed for compliance during the building permit stage of review. The building will be set back approximately 385 feet from 2161h Street SW and 150 feet from 2181h Street SW —the two nearest streets, so setbacks are not an issue. The project appears to be compliant with the zone district. ➢ The applicant should be prepared to show detailed height calculations with the building permit application. Any and all rooftop mechanical equipment shall meet the 35 foot height limit. 2. ECDC 17.50 (Parking) Commercial parking is based upon the square footage of the tenant space. There are 1231 existing parking stalls on site, 125 of which will be removed to make way for the new building and its associated landscaping. Further, 76 stalls are required for the new building. 20 stalls have been provided with the new building as well as 68 new stalls with the parking lot expansion further east. This yields a net loss of 113 stalls. ECDC 17.50.010.B.2 allows for new additions that increase the number of off-street parking spaces normally required by less than 10 percent to not provide said parking. If the normally required parking for the entire campus is 1231, then the net loss of 113 stalls is under the 10 percent threshold and meets the requirements of the parking code. 3. ECDC 20.11 (General Design Review) The project site is not located in a specific zoning "district." Therefore, "General Design Review" is required under ECDC 20.11. Design review by the Architectural Design Board (ADB) is required for this project because the SEPA threshold is triggered. The ADB must find that the proposed development is consistent with both the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. Specifically, certain criteria for building design and site treatment are shown in ECDC 20.11.030. The applicant has provided a narrative on the design of the project (Attachment 1) and staff agrees with the content of the narrative. Please review this application to see how compliance with ECDC 20.11 has been achieved. Staff feels that the project, as conditioned, meets the General Design Review criteria. 4. ECDC 20.13 (Landscaping) There are a great deal of landscaping requirements in ECDC 20.13 that are intended to go hand-in-hand with the Comprehensive Plan's Urban Design Guidelines. Please review Attachment 1, pages 16-17. Automatic irrigation is noted on the plans. The planting quantities are not provided, but page 17 illustrates the number of trees provided around the exterior of the building and in the parking areas. ECDC 20.13.000 specifically states, "The ADB and hearing examiner shall be allowed to interpret and modify the requirements contained herein... " ➢ The landscape plan should be revised to indicate the number of proposed new shrubs and trees provided onsite. P L N 2 0 1 10044 "Siredish Cancer Ilis iiluie" Page 17 Staff feels that the applicant has tried to comply with the landscaping chapter and supports the proposed landscape plan. The proposal appears to be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. XI. RECOMMENDATIONS: The owner/applicant must apply for and obtain all necessary permits, subject to the requirements of the code. Based on the analysis and attachments to this report, staff finds that the project meets both the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan — and therefore recommends APPROVAL of the new Swedish Cancer Institute as shown in file PLN20110044 with the following conditions: 1. The rain garden system must first be coordinated and approved by the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department. 2. If the hot box is to be placed outside, then it shall be screed (with landscaping). 3. Height calculations shall be provided with the building permit. 4. The quantity of plants shall be listed on the landscape plan to ensure an appropriate plant configuration. XII. PARTIES OF RECORD: 1.

The site is developed and likely to have a layer of fill over glacial till according to the 4 of 12 WAC 197-11-960 Environmental Checklist (SEPA) Swedish Cancer Institute Edmonds — Medical Oncology USDA web soil survey. More detailed information will be known when the Geotechnical investigation is complete. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. The site does not have any obvious surface instability. The site is not located in the Edmonds land slide hazard area. More detailed information will be known when the Geotechnical investigation is complete. e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. There will be approximately 1600 cubic yards of export. Fill, if needed, will come from onsite cut volume or suitable offsite sources. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. Permanent erosion should not occur after site is stabilized. Construction erosion will be minimized with appropriate BMP's. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Approximately 89% h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: Straw wattles, stockpile covering, slope covering, swale protection, and catchbasin inserts will reduce erosion. Other BMP's will be employed if field conditions warrant. 2. Air What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. During construction, there will be some potential emissions such as dust particles and heavy equipment exhaust. Upon completion of the project, there will be some pollution associated with the use of personal vehicles by project tenants. b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. There are no off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect the proposal. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: During demolition the following measures may be followed to mitigate potential air impacts: During construction, excavation, and construction, debris and exposed areas would be watered as necessary to control dust; a truck wash, and quarry spall areas would be provided on-site to treat construction vehicles prior to their exiting the site; and truck loads and routes would be monitored to minimize dust -related impacts. Using well-maintained equipment would reduce emissions from construction equipment, and construction -related trucks. Prolonged periods of vehicle idling would be avoided. Using electrically -operated small tools in place of gas -powered small tools wherever feasible. Trucking building materials and modules to and from the project site would be scheduled and coordinated to minimize congestion during peak travel times associated with adjacent 5of12 WAC'19? -1 '1 -960 Eriv IT cm lrnental I Is t, (,d" f' Sweefish llr)stltute E4,-Arnonids- Mradical Onc(-Ongy (roadways.

LU s c Medical/Highway 99 Activity Center and Highway 99 Corridor The Medical/Highway 99 activity center is intended to encourage the development of a pedestrian and transit oriented area focused on two master planned developments, Stevens Hospital and Edmonds-Woodway High School, with a related high-intensity development corridor along Highway 99. Highway 99 is characterized by a corridor of generally commercial development with less intense uses or designed transitions serving as a buffer between adjacent neighborhoods. In contrast, the overall character of the mixed use activity center is intended to be an intensively developed mixed use, pedestrian -friendly environment, in which buildings are linked by walkways served by centralized parking, and plantings and landscaping promote pedestrian activity and a park -like atmosphere. In addition to the general goals for activity centers, the Medical/Highway 99 activity center is intended to achieve the following goals: A. Goals for the Medical/Highway 99 Activity Center. • To expand the economic and tax base of the City of Edmonds by providing incentives for business and commercial redevelopment in a planned activity center; • Provide for an aesthetically pleasing business and residential community consisting of a mixed use, pedestrian -friendly atmosphere of attractively designed and landscaped surroundings and inter -connected development; • Recognize and plan for the distinct difference in opportunities and development character provided by the Highway 99 corridor versus the local travel and access patterns on local streets; • Promote the development of a mixed use area served by transit and accessible to pedestrians; • To provide a buffer between the high-intensity, high-rise commercial areas along SR 99 and the established neighborhoods and public facilities west of 76th Avenue West; • To discourage the expansion of strip commercial development and encourage a cohesive and functional activity center that allows for redevelopment that mixes multiple dwelling units, offices, retail, and business uses, along with public facilities; • To provide a pleasant experience for pedestrians and motorists along major streets and in a planned activity center, and provide a gateway along 212th Street SW into the City of Edmonds; • To provide an integrated network of pedestrian and bicycle circulation that connects within and through the activity center to existing residential areas, the high school, the hospital, and transit services and facilities. Land Use 61 Within the activity center, policies to achieve these goals include the following: A.1. Provide street trees, buffers, and landscape treatments which encourage and support an attractive mixed use pattern of development characterized by pedestrian walkways and centralized parking. Use these same features, in concert with site and building design, to provide a transition from higher -intensity mixed use development to nearby single family residential areas. A.2. Provide a more efficient transportation system featuring increased bus service, pedestrian and bicycle routes as well as adequate streets and parking areas. Transit service should be coordinated by transit providers and take advantage of links to future high-capacity transit that develops along corridors such as Highway 99. A.3. Development should be designed for both pedestrian and transit access. A.4. Encourage a more active and vital setting for new retail, office, and service businesses, supported by nearby residents and visitors from other parts of the region. A.5. Support a mix of uses without encroaching into single family neighborhoods. Uses adjoining single family neighborhoods should provide transitions between more intensive uses areas through a combination of building design, landscaping and visual buffering, and pedestrian -scale streetscape design. A.6. Uses adjoining the Highway 99 Corridor should provide more intensive levels of mixed use development, including higher building heights and greater density. However, pedestrian linkages to other portions of the activity center — and adjoining focus areas along the Highway 99 Corridor— should still be provided in order to assist pedestrian circulation and provide access to transit. A.7. In some cases, heavy commercial development (e.g. wholesale or light industrial uses) may still be appropriate where these uses are separated from residential uses. 62 Land Use B.11.b. Designed to provide a visual asset to the community through the use of distinctive forms and materials, articulated facades, attractive landscaping, and similar techniques. B. 11. c. Designed to take advantage of different forms of access, including automobile, transit and pedestrian access. B.11.d. Designed to provide adequate buffering from lower intensity uses and residential neighborhoods. Master Planned Development Master Planned Developments are areas dominated by a special set of circumstances which allow for a highly coordinated, planned development, with phasing over time. These master plans describe a special purpose and need for the facilities and uses identified, and provide a clear design which fits with the character of their surroundings. The master plans describe the land use parameters and relationships to guide future development on the sites (height, bulk, types and arrangements of uses, access and circulation). All development within areas identified in each master plan shall be consistent with the provisions of the master plan. When located within a designated activity center, development within a master plan area shall be consistent with the goals and policies identified for the surrounding activity center. The following Master Plans are adopted by reference: A. Edmonds-Woodway High School B. Stevens Hospital C. City Park D. Pine Ridge Park E. Southwest County Park F. The Edmonds Crossing project, as identified in the Final EIS for Edmonds Crossing issued on November 10, 2004. In addition to the master plans listed above, master plans can also be implemented through zoning contracts or other implementation actions, rather than being adopted as part of the plan. In these cases, the master plan must still be consistent with the comprehensive plan goals and policies for the area. Land Use 67 E. Goal - Cultural. Identify, maintain and develop cultural facilities both public and private in the areas of drama, dance, theaters, museums, etc. in accordance with the following policies: E.1. Encourage compatible land uses surrounding cultural sites. E.2. Pursue public and private funding to develop and operate such facilities. E.3. Cultural sites would include, but not be limited to: the Wade James Theater, the Edmonds Center for the Arts, Anderson Center, Museum, Edmonds Theatre, etc. F. Goal - Scenic. Identify, maintain and enhance scenic areas throughout the city in accordance with the following policies: F.1. Identify and inventory scenic areas and features within the city which contribute to the overall enjoyment of the environment for both residents and visitors. F.2. Incorporate scenic and aesthetic design features into the development of public projects. F.3. Preserve scenic features whenever possible in the development of public projects. FA. Use environmental and urban design review of development projects to avoid or mitigate impacts to identified scenic features. Urban Design: General Objectives A. General. The man-made environment is an expression of human culture and reflects, in physical form, the social values of the members of the community. The manner in which the man-made elements are incorporated into the natural environment creates the special characteristics which identify a community and contribute to the quality of life in that community. The beauty and variety of the natural surroundings in Edmonds and the historical development of the City have combined to create an interesting, and visually attractive community. However, unsightly development — of poor quality and design — does exist in the City and may occur in the future. Aging buildings in some parts of the City, primarily downtown, also create an aesthetic problem. Removal or poor restoration of older buildings alters the character of the downtown area. The historical and typical strip 92 Culture & Design development along Highway 99 has resulted in economic and aesthetic underdevelopment of private properties. Although utility wires are placed underground where new development takes place, overhead wires still exist in most of the older parts of the City where they interfere with views and create visual blight. Commercial signs contribute to the color and variety of community life as well as providing an important function but they may also create discordant and unsightly conditions where they are of excessive or poor design. Street landscaping has been utilized in the past on a limited basis. However, in many areas, parking lots, access roads, streets and buildings are poorly integrated with the landscape. B. Design Objectives. Design objectives are a tool for city staff, the ADB, City Council, and the Hearing Examiner to direct future development in the city to result in high quality, well-designed, and sensitive projects that reflect the values of the citizens of Edmonds. The objectives contained in this section are intended to: • improve the physical appearance and character of Edmonds, • improve retail and pedestrian circulation options, • improve business opportunities, • protect natural environments, • protect and enhance the single-family residential character of Edmonds. C. Design Objectives for Site Design. The development of parking lots, pedestrian walkways and landscaping features is an integral part of how a building interacts with its site and its surrounding environment.

C.14.f. Minimize heat gain from paved surfaces. C.14.g. Provide treatment of runoff from parking lots. 96 Culture & Design D. Design Objectives for Building Form. Building height and modulation guidelines are essential to create diversity in building forms, minimize shadows cast by taller buildings upon the pedestrian areas and to ensure compliance with policies in the city's Comprehensive Plan. Protecting views from public parks and building entries as well as street views to the mountains and Puget Sound are an important part of Edmonds character and urban form. D.1. Design Objectives for Height. D. 1. a. Preserve views to mountains and Puget Sound to the west. D.1.b. Maintain the smaller scale and character ofhistoric Edmonds. D. 1. c. Minimize blockage of light and air to adjacent properties or to the sidewalk area. D.l.d. Maintain/protect view from public places and streets. D.2. Design Objectives for Massing. D.2.a. Encourage human scale elements in building design. D.2. b. Reduce bulk and mass of buildings. D. 2. c. Masses may be subdivided vertically or horizontally. D.2.d. Explore flexible site calculations to eliminate building masses that have one story on one elevation and four or greater stories on another. D.3. Design Objectives for Roof Modulation. D.3.a. To breakup the overall massing of the roof. D.3.b. Create human scale in the building. D.3.c. Use roof forms to identify different programs or functional areas within the building. D.3.d. Provide ways for additional light to enter the building. D.4. Design Objectives for Wall Modulation. D.4.a. To let more light and air into the building. D.4. b. Break up large building mass and scale of a facade. D.4.c. To avoid stark and imposing building facades. D.4.d. To create a pedestrian scale appropriate to Edmonds. D.4.e. To become compatible with the surrounding built environment. E. Design Objectives for Building Fagade. Building facade objectives ensure that the exterior of a building — the portion of a building that defines the character and visual appearance of a place — is of high quality Culture & Design 97 and demonstrates the strong sense of place and integrity valued by the residents of the City of Edmonds. E.1. Design Objectives for Building Fagade. E.1.a. Ensure diversity in design. E.1.b. Reinforce the existing building patterns found in Edmonds. E.l.c. Improve visual and physical character and quality of Edmonds. E. 1. d. Improve pedestrian environment in retail/commercial areas. E.l.e. Create individual identity of buildings. E.2. Design Objectives for Window Variety And Articulation. Windows help define the scale and character of the building. The organization and combinations of window types provide variation in a facade as well as provide light and air to the interior. Small windows are more typically utilitarian in function, such as bathroom or stairway windows, etc. and can be grouped to provide more articulation in the facade. E.3. Design Objectives for Variation in Facade Materials. The materials that make up the exterior facades of a building also help define the scale and style of the structure and provide variation in the facade to help reduce the bulk of larger buildings. From the foundation to the roof eaves, a variety of building materials can reduce the scale and help define a building's style and allows the design of a building to respond to its context and client's needs. EA. Design Objectives for Accent Materials/Colors/Trim. Applied ornament, various materials and colors applied to a facade as well as various decorative trim/surrounds provide variation in the scale, style and appearance of every building facade. The objective is to encourage new development that provides: • Compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. • Visual interest and variety in building forms. • Reduces the visual impacts of larger building masses. • Allows identity and individuality of a project within a neighborhood. F. Design Objectives for Specific Areas. In addition to the general objectives described above, design objectives for specific areas or districts within the city are outlined below (note that design objectives for the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center are contained in the portion of the Land Use Element dealing specifically with that area). 98 Culture & Design F.I. Highway 99 F. 1. a. General Appearance: Creation of new identity. Development of high intensity nodes. Better identification of businesses by numbering. Encouragement ofplanned business centers and design coordination among neighbors. Building forms compatible with adjacent uses. Parking areas more clearly defined to eliminate confusion of driveways, street and parking areas. Unsightly uses and storage screened by landscaping and fencing. F. 1. b.

Landscaping: Buffer from street, provide transition from commercial areas to residential areas. F.3. Waterfront Building Design F3.a. Buildings should beset backftom the waterfront to preserve existing beach areas and provide a buffer area. F.3.b. Buildings should be oriented to pedestrians by providing visible activity at the first floor level, using awnings, windows, etc. Retail uses are encouraged in first floor spaces. F. 3. c. Covered parking areas shall screen cars parked inside them from public rights-of-way. F.4. Waterfront Site Design F4.a. The site layout should be coordinated with existing buildings and proposed improvements to provide views of the water, open spaces, and easy pedestrian access to the beach. F4.b. The site design should provide adequate separation of vehicles and pedestrians to avoid conflicts. Culture & Design 99 F4.c. On-site parking spaces and paved surfaces should be kept to a minimum. Joint use parking arrangements and in -lieu parking payments are encouraged. Only the absolute minimum number ofparking spaces to accommodate the use(s) should be permitted on-site. F.S. Waterfront Landscaping F. S. a. Landscaping should be used to soften edges of buildings and parking areas. F.S.b. Plant species should be selected to endure salt spray, wind, and soil conditions. FS.c. Landscaping should not obscure waterfront views. FS.d. Landscaping should be used to separate pedestrians and vehicles. F.6. Street Landscaping F.6. a. The City should establish a program to place utility wires underground in areas of the City where scenic vistas will be enhanced or the general environment will be improved. Encourage LID's and arterial conversions. F 6. b. The areas of the City which are most suitable for street landscaping should be identified and a program developed to carry out a public landscaping plan. F.6.c. Street lighting should be designed to provide comfort, security and aesthetic beauty. [Ord. 2527, 1985.] 100 Culture & Design From I'Lz"aw, . 7W. ,4 i4 fir Subject.
