He explained that Interim Planning Director Shane Hope was looking forward to attending the meeting tonight but perhaps had gotten the time mixed up. Chair Bayer praised the changes she has noticed since Interim Planning Director Shane Hope has been on board and commented she was also very pleased that Planning Manager Clugston was back to help guide them. She acknowledged the time crunch with the Comprehensive Plan update and shortage of resources. She expressed appreciation to the members of the ADB for the value they bring to the City. Chair Bayer asked about any projects the Board might be reviewing by the end of the year. Planning Manager Clugston explained there would be two coming up in October and one or two at a special meeting on December 9. Chair Bayer asked what happened to all the work the ADB did on multifamily design standards and design work related to the Comprehensive Plan. Planning Manager Clugston explained that some of it could be 7 reintroduced in the future; they will try to incorporate as much as possible. The work plan is up in the air right 3 now. Because of lack of staff, things are on hold other than a few design review projects, the Comprehensive Plan update, and working toward compliance with HB 1293 by end of June 2025. _ There was some discussion about the ADB's role going forward, potential changes with processes, and whether as g their work should be focused more on permits or policies. Board Member Loch commented that they need to 3 concentrate on design guidelines, procedures for making sure that those are attended to, and a way for people to propose other ideas. They also need to answer the question of who does the review once they have very clear L policies and regulations. a Board Member Jeude expressed concern about just having one meeting and no opportunity to require a better design. Once the designs get to the ADB, she felt it would be too late in the process. She spoke to the need to have very clear and precise design guidelines. She wondered how precise they can get without overwhelming a project. Planning Manager Clugston concurred and stated he is still hoping for some guidance from the Department of Commerce. He agreed that having an outside opportunity for Board review could be really useful. Board Member Stine agreed with the concern that no matter how well they write the design guidelines, they are open for interpretation. He stated that design is an iterative process and just having one hearing will not likely produce what they want for the city. There was general agreement with this. Chair Bayer asked about the possibility of having the ADB get involved earlier in the process. Planning Manager Clugston was not sure about that since they are only allowed to hold one public meeting. If they meet earlier in the process, they would not be able to have another review later on. Vice Chair Brooks noted that if they have a well written Comprehensive Plan, there wouldn't be a need for an early review. Planning Manager Clugston suggested possibly taking the design information out of the Comprehensive Plan and putting it into a design manual. He thought that the design manual could be more subjective whereas the code has to be clear and objective. He will try to get more clarity on if this would be acceptable. Chair Bayer asked if there would be any opportunities for the ADB to have input on anything in the Comprehensive Plan that would have a design impact. Planning Manager Clugston thought they would be Architectural Design Board Meeting Minutes of Regular Meeting September 26, 2024 Page 2 of 3 Packet Pg. 4 basically adopting the existing Comprehensive Plan language in the new Comprehensive Plan because they have to meet the deadline; however, they know they will need to update the language next year. There was some discussion and support for holding a joint meeting with City Council, Planning Board, and staff in January to learn what the City Council values. Planning Manager Clugston agreed and said they could look into that. The group talked about having a discussion at the December meeting about what they would like to cover. Chair Bayer asked for clarification about how project review is determined and why the ADB reviews some projects and not others. Planning Manager Clugston explained that projects that require a SEPA determination come to the Board for review. Chair Bayer wondered if staff had heard anything from the Council about having the ADB involved with DADUs. Planning Manager Clugston said he had not, but he noted there had been interest in the past about having some sort of pre -approved plans for DADUs. That is something that the ADB could review if it moves forward; this is something they could talk about at the meeting in January. Planning Manager Clugston responded to questions regarding the consultants for the Comprehensive Plan and the status of the Baskin Robbins site the ADB had reviewed. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS Chair Bayer noted she would follow up with Board Members Hutchinson and Schmitz. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 6:50 p.m. Architectural Design Board Meeting Minutes of Regular Meeting September 26, 2024 Page 3 of 3 Packet Pg. 5 Architectural Design Board Agenda Item Meeting Date: 10/24/2024 BLD2024-0979 Swedish Medical Center Langer Building Sign Package Design Review Staff Lead: Tristan Sewell Department: Planning & Development Prepared By: Tristan Sewell Background/History On August 9, 2024, the City received an application for new signs at the Edmonds Swedish Medical Center's Langer Building at 21600 Highway 99. After subsequent staff review and feedback, the applicant requested on October 8, 2024, that the Architectural Design Board review the proposed modifications to the requirements of Chapter 20.60 ECDC as allowed in ECDC 20.60.015(B). Staff Recommendation Due to the needs of the onsite urgent care clinic and adjacent emergency room, visitor navigation of these lots as one contiguous space, the frontage on two streets, and the proposed signage's compatibility with the development in the vicinity, staff recommends the Architectural Design Board approve the applicant's proposed signage. Narrative The applicant requested the Architectural Design Board review the modifications to the sign code incorporated into the proposed signage because of the present difficulty patients face locating the urgent care clinic onsite.

I. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ACTION: Construct or update signage for the Langer Building at the Edmonds Swedish Medical Center. The site contains an urgent care clinic and other medical services and is adjacent to the emergency room. GENERAL INFORMATION: 1. Owner: Public Hospital District 2 Snohomish County 2. Applicant: Jorden Weiner, Division 10 Signs 3. Tax Parcel Number(s): 00580700002900 4. Location: 21600 Highway 99 5. Zoning: General Commercial (CG) 6. Existing Use: Medical & Other Health Services 7. Review Process: ECDC 20.60.015(B)(1) enables eligible applicants to request modification to any of the standards of Chapter 20.60 ECDC, subject to review by the Architectural Design Board using the criteria of ECDC 20.60.015(B)(2). Page 1 of 2 Packet Pg. 7 File No. BLD2024-0979 Request for ADB Approval of Modifications Swedish Medical Center Langer Building Sign Package II. TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE: The City of Edmonds' Planning & Development department and Public Works Engineering division staff reviewed and evaluated this application. Building and Engineering each approved the attached plans already. III. APPLICABLE CODES: ECDC 20.60 —Sign Code Section 025 — Total maximum permanent sign area Maximum total area: 200 sq. ft. Maximum total number: five Staff Analysis: The applicant proposes a total number of four signs. The total proposed sign area totals 110.2 square feet. The proposed signage complies with this section. Section 045 — Freestanding signs — Regulation Maximum Area: 160 sq. ft. Location: As near to the center of the street frontage as possible. Number: One at the corner or one on each frontage on arterial streets Landscaping: A landscaped area twice the area of each sign at each's base Staff Analysis: The applicant aims to clarify patient navigation onsite to the urgent care facility. Although Subsection A discourages freestanding signs, staff finds no reasonable and feasible alternative to address the applicant's need for legible navigation to crucial medical facilities onsite. The proposed freestanding signage exceeds the maximum number permitted on corner lots, with both one at the corner and one on each street face. The total freestanding sign area totals 86.2 square feet. The proposal positions the signs on each street frontage reasonably close to the center of the property line, with the concern for legible navigation to the urgent care and emergency room in mind. The locations proposed are already landscaped, though compliance with Chapter 20.13 was not reviewed here. As proposed, the signage does not comply with this section; the applicant seeks Architectural Design Board's modification to this section's requirements, specifically the number and location of signs. Section 030 — Wall signs — Maximum area and height Maximum area: One square foot per lineal foot of attached wall Maximum height: 14 feet or height of the building face Staff Analysis: The proposed building identification wall sign complies with Section 030. ECDC 20.60.015(B)(2) — Design review procedures — Review Criteria a) Compatibility of the materials, colors, design, and proportions of the proposed signage with development onsite and similar signage in the vicinity b) Modification shall not exceed the maximum normally allowed by more than 50% Page 2 of 3 Packet Pg. 8 File No. BLD2024-0979 Request for ADB Approval of Modifications Swedish Medical Center Langer Building Sign Package Staff Analysis: Within the Edmonds Swedish Medical Center's campus and larger Medical/Highway 99 Activity Center context, the proposed signage abides by the color and design schemes used onsite and would not be out of character. Increasing the number of freestanding signs from two (one on each street face) to three (each street face and the corner) abides by the maximum increase of 50%. The proposed sign area (both cumulative and for each sign type) complies with the normally permissible maximum. IV. CONCLUSION: Based on the above analysis of the project proposal, staff finds the proposal satisfies the criteria for modification of sign code requirements by the Architectural Design Board listed in ECDC 20.60.015(B)(2). V. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the analysis of applicable codes, conclusions, and attachments to this report, staff recommends that the Architectural Design Board APPROVE the proposed modifications. Staff identified no necessary conditions to this approval at this time. VI. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Applicant Cover Letter 2. Signage Plan Set 3.

Verdant is trying to remedy a chronic problem faced by its patrons who, during a medical emergency, are having a very difficult time identifying and locating the urgent care facility within this property. The sign code 20.60.045 (E) and 20.60.045 (F) allows either one sign at the corner of two public streets or one sign for each frontage. We are requesting that the Architectural Design Board modify this requirement to allow for three free-standing signs at this property. Verdant, myself, and their design team, JPC Architects, has determined that a sign at the corner of Highway 99 and 216th St. SW, as well as at each driveway entrance on Highway 99 and 216th St. SW, is critical for directing patrons in to the facility. Since most visitors will be directed to the corner of Highway 99 and 2161h St. SW, having a sign here is our first opportunity to grab their attention and give them confirmation they are near their destination. Having a sign at the driveway entrance on 2161h St. SW is equally important because the Swedish Medical Facility is located further down 216th St. SW and it is imperative we have a sign that directs people off of 216th St. SW in to our parking lot. The sign code 20.60.015 (B-1 a) allows the board to consider our request due to the unique configuration of the property, and sign code 20.60.015 (B-2b) would allow the board to increase the allowable sign quantity by 50% from 2 to 3. In the interest of public safety, we strongly encourage you to approve this modification.

Additionally, HB 1110 requires local governments to allow middle housing options on all residentially zoned lots that do not already allow densities greater than what can be achieved through middle housing. Fully -planning cities must effectuate the requirements beginning six months after the periodic comprehensive plan update, being July 1, 2025. Over the course of the last year, the ADB has had much discussion about what this means for Edmonds and the design review process. This agenda item is a continuation of those discussions and an effort to advance the conversation. Staff Recommendation N/A Narrative Planning will present a more in-depth look at HB 1293 and provide some examples of what "clear and objective" design standards look like and don't look like, as well as provide concepts of design review processes to consider. The presentation will also look at middle housing and a potential approach to updating our development code. Packet Pg. 20 Architectural Design Board Agenda Item Meeting Date: 10/24/2024 Draft Comprehensive Plan Element Review Staff Lead: Mike Clugston Department: Planning Division Prepared By: Michael Clugston Background/History Under the Growth Management Act (GMA) in Washington State, cities are required to update their Comprehensive Plans. These plans serve as the foundation of local planning efforts, outlining a community's vision over a 20-year period through goals, policies, and actions that guide the decisions of elected officials and local government staff. The GMA mandates that Comprehensive Plans include certain essential elements, while also allowing cities and counties to incorporate additional optional elements. Housing and land use are critical mandatory elements as they direct future community growth. In addition to housing and land use, the 2020 Comprehensive Plan includes several other important elements: Community Sustainability, Economic Development, Community Culture and Urban Design, Utilities, Capital Facilities, and Transportation. The City released the draft 2024 Comprehensive Plan on October 3, 2024. The draft Culture, History, and Urban Design element is attached for the Board's review. Staff Recommendation Staff will provide a brief overview of the draft element. Following discussion, the Board should make a recommendation on the draft language in the proposed element. Any proposed edits can be provided to staff after the meeting. Narrative Edmonds stands out for its historic character and natural beauty, which distinguishes it from its neighboring cities. As redevelopment occurs, it is crucial to maintain the city's unique identity while addressing the specific challenges and priorities raised by residents. An optional but significant element in the Comprehensive Plan is the Community Culture and Urban Design. Edmonds has a vibrant arts community supported by various local organizations. The community values its cultural heritage, environmental beauty, and recreational opportunities. As such, this element is proposed to be renamed to Culture, History, and Urban Design, emphasizing the integration of these aspects to create vibrant public spaces that resonate with residents and attract visitors. This section encourages the use of public spaces for cultural activities, includes a historic preservation focus, and promotes urban design that enhances both aesthetics and functionality. There is one proposed Urban Design goal (CD-5), which states: "Achieve well -planned areas and public spaces within the city." Several policies to achieve the goal are proposed, including Policy CD-5.3 which Packet Pg. 21 states: "Until specific design standards are adopted by code for the downtown and waterfront area, the following sections from the Culture and Urban Design Element of the Edmonds 2020 Comprehensive Plan shall continue to serve as design guidelines for the development of buildings and sites: the Urban Design Goals and Policies section, the General Design Objectives section, and the Urban Design Goals and Policies for Specific Areas" It is anticipated that work on updating the design guidelines that are being carried over from the 2020 Plan will continue in 2025. Attachments: Draft 2024 Culture History Urban Design Element 2020 Community Culture and Urban Design Element Packet Pg. 22 I I CULTURE, HISTORY & EVE Packet Pg. 23 3 110 CITY OF EDMONDS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN I DRAFT OCTOBER 2024 Packet Pg. 24 Introduction The purpose of the culture, history and urban design element is to ensure that the city's growth and development reflect its unique cultural identity while enhancing the quality of the built environment. This element emphasizes the importance of preserving historical landmarks, promoting local arts and traditions, and designing spaces that celebrate the community's heritage. It also guides the aesthetic and functional aspects of urban spaces, ensuring they are both visually appealing and culturally significant, fostering a strong sense of place. The integration of culture, history, and design elements is essential in shaping vibrant and meaningful spaces that resonate with communities and attract visitors. Culture reflects the values, traditions, and identity of a place, while history provides context and continuity, connecting the past with the present. Thoughtful design, informed by these aspects, not only enhances the aesthetic and functional quality of a space but also fosters a sense of belonging and pride among residents. EVERYONE'S EDMONDS: CULTURE, HISTORY AND 11Packet Pg. 25 Arts and Culture To expand public experience throughout the broad spectrum of the arts, the city has planned for and invested in arts and culture, including through the establishment of the Edmonds Arts Commission in 1975. The Community Cultural Plan (CCP), developed by the Edmonda Arts Commission and last updated in 2014, has been adopted by reference as a part of the Comprehensive Plan. This provides the vision, goals, and implementation strategies for the cultural development of the community. The plan seeks to integrate artistic and cultural experiences into everyday life, work, and visits in Edmonds. As an implementation strategy of the CCP, Edmonds downtown became Washington's first Certified Creative District in 2018. An economic impact study shows Edmonds' arts and culture sector consists of over 100 arts and culture - related entities, organizations and businesses with an estimated revenue of $19.6 million in revenue to the local economy, 440 full-time jobs and $17 million in labor income (2017). The Edmonds Arts Festival has been a draw for 60 years, the Edmonds Center for the Arts opened 10 years ago and brings about 90,000 people through its doors a year. Edmonds Community Cultural Plan 2014 Goal 1. Reflect Edmonds' commitment to arts and culture through integration of the arts in the city's physical infrastructure, event planning, image, and brand. Goal 2. Embrace an expansive view of art and culture to include and respond to multiple forms of artistic and cultural expression. Goal 3. Foster creative community partnerships to increase and secure accessibility to the arts and cultural experiences. Goal 4. Maximize and diversify use of spaces for arts and cultural activities in Edmonds. Goal 5. Strengthen communication among arts and cultural organizations and projects to enhance scheduling, information sharing and collaboration and to increase cultural awareness in the community. Edmonds' Public Art program includes a permanent collection of sculpture, 2D works, temporary installations, and special commissions. The collection includes over 65 outdoor installations permanently sited downtown and in other locations throughout the city. Over 150 portable two- and three-dimensional original works are located within several City buildings. The Community Cultural Plan encourages the expanded use of public spaces as flexible and accessible venues for a wide range of artistic and cultural activities. 112 CITY OF EDMONDS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN I DRAFT OCTOBER 2024 Packet Pg. 26 Goal CDA Strengthen Edmonds' creative identity.

Policy CD-3.3 Identify, maintain, and develop cultural facilities, especially for areas of the city that lack cultural spaces. Policy CD-3.4 Seek to support public art projects such as neighborhood murals, art, bus shelters, pocket parks and streetscapes. EVERYONE'S EDMONDS: CULTURE, HISTORY AND Packet Pg. 27 Celebrating our Heritage Certain geographic areas and sites within Edmonds hold special significance due to their archaeological, architectural, recreational, social, cultural, and scenic importance. Historic preservation aims to understand, acknowledge, and conserve the cultural heritage of a community. The Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) maintains a register of historic places. HPC promotes historic preservation in the community and encourages owners of historically significant properties to voluntarily add them to the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. The HPC partners with arts and historical organizations, such as the Edmonds Arts Commission, and Edmonds South Snohomish County Historical Society and Museum, in pursuing its mission. Figure 6.3 Honoring the land and the Coast Salish tribes, `Marsh Life' is an artistic depiction and window into what life may have been like for Coast Salish communities living in the area. (Source: Edmonds Historical Museum) Edmonds' Carnegie Library houses the Edmonds Historical Museum operated by the Edmonds —South Snohomish County Historical Society. The museum offers text, oral and photographic archives of the town's early history. The museum's 1910 building is on the National Register of Historic Places. On a statewide level, the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation helps identify and preserve cultural resources and historic properties. This includes using the Washington Statewide Archaeological Predictive Model (WSAPM) by analyzing sites based on a selection of environmental variables —such as slope aspect and percentage, elevation, distance to water, geology, soils, and landforms—to help determine areas that may have a high probability of containing previously unknown archaeological materials. Goal CD-4.Continue to identify, celebrate, preserve, and maintain the cultural resources and historic sites that reflect Edmonds' heritage. Policy CD-4.1 Support programs for the preservation of the city's historic architectural, archeological, and cultural resources through incentives, regulations, and informational activities. Policy CD-4.2 Continue to maintain and expand the inventory of historic properties. Policy CD-4.3 Collaborate with public agencies and the Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission to determine priorities and incentives for identifying and preserving historic properties. 114 CITY OF EDMONDS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN I DRAFT OCTOBER 2024 Packet Pg. 28 Urban Design Urban design is a term that refers to the art and practice of designing buildings and the spaces around them in a way that meets both aesthetic and functional objectives. Cities often employ urban design concepts and standards to shape the built environment. In turn, the built environment, as it evolves, is an important factor in a community's qualify of life. Use of Urban Design Standards a� Edmonds practices design review of many types of development, with specific standards that apply E to types of use or designated areas of the city. The process for design review is carried out by the w Architectural Design Board and/or City staff, consistent with city regulations. Over the past decade, Edmonds has used urban design guidelines and standards for development in designated Activity a Centers - namely, the Downtown/Waterfront Area and Highway 99 Subarea. Some of these urban design standards have been included in sections of the municipal code and some in elements of previous comprehensive plans. Having design standards in the Comprehensive Plan, which is generally considered a broad policy document, rather than in the development regulations, is E confusing for development applicants, who normally rely on adopted regulations to set the rules for 0 design. It also makes review more time-consuming for City staff and the Architectural Design Board. Updating City regulations to incorporate, add to, and/or update all design standards would be a more o effective approach. 41 In addition, recent state legislation has directed the need for changes to some aspects of local design review processes, with the intent to enable more predictability and timeliness. Place -making Place -making is about creating attractive, comfortable spaces that reflect the identity, physical features and objectives for a site or neighborhood. A place -making approach is particularly useful in designing public places. The approach works best when it is based on understanding how people will use the space and the barriers and opportunities that that will influence their choices. Over the past decade, Edmonds has strategically planned for future development in Activity Centers. Complementary to Activity Centers, the 2024 Comprehensive Plan identifies a Neighborhood Centers and Hubs strategy to strengthen existing neighborhood mixed -use areas by accommodating growth while providing for local needs and amenities. In designing public places for any particular site or use, three critical human needs should be considered, namely: enjoyment comfort, and protection. The figure 6.4 illustrates this concept, showing various factors related to the three critical human needs.

Goal CD-5.Achieve well -planned areas and public spaces within the city. Policy CD-5.1 Create neighborhood -level plans for key centers and hubs to guide place -making and public investments that reflect the needs and characteristics of the area. Policy CD-5.2 Ensure that the City has appropriate design standards for development, especially for multifamily housing and commercial development. The standards may reflect unique characteristics and opportunities for a particular center or hub. Policy CD-5.3 Until specific design standards are adopted by code for the downtown and waterfront area, the following sections from the Culture and Urban Design Element of the Edmonds 2020 Comprehensive Plan shall continue to serve as design guidelines for the development of buildings and sites:.the Urban Design Goals and Policies section, the General Design Objectives section, and the Urban Design Goals and Policies for Specific Areas. 3 116 CITY OF EDMONDS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN I DRAFT OCTOBER 2024 Packet Pg. 30 Policy CD-5.4 Consider place -making opportunities for public spaces and rights - of -way., as needs and resources allow. The study should be carefully designed to enable comparison between spaces in the city and to other locations. It is recommended to use the "Public Life Data Protocol" (developed by Gehl Institute). This data set should be used over time to track, share, and compare information about the relative success of the City's public spaces. Data should be collected through: • Observation • On -site Surveys • Focus Groups • Qualitative ranking on urban quality criteria Policy CD-5.5 Ensure that the Edmonds design review process uses clear and objective standards and processes that comply with state law for timely and predictable design review Potential Action Items Definition of art installation: Temporary or permanent work of art created specifically for a particular space or environment. It often involves the arrangement and placement of objects, materials, or media in a way that transforms the space and engages viewers in a unique aesthetic or conceptual experience. Art installations can vary widely in form and medium, ranging from sculptures and multimedia presentations to immersive environments and interactive displays. The following list outlines potential action items that can be further explored to guide implementation efforts, considering the city's priorities, available resources, and other critical factors. Any such action that is selected will be designed to support the City's long-term vision while ensuring compliance with the Growth Management Act (GMA). • Strategize distribution of restricted funds collected for the acquisition, installation and maintenance of public art. • Work with local schools and youth organizations to dedicate spaces for youth perspectives in community -wide conversations. • Support the maintenance of a strategic plan to guide the priorities and activities of the Historic Preservation Commission. • The city should invest in a set of "urban design frameworks" to be updated on an estimated 5-year cycle for each identified Activity Center, Neighborhood Center and/or Hub EVERYONE'S EDMONDS: CULTURE, HISTORY AND Packet Pg. 31 Urban design frameworks should follow a standardized method, such as the 12 urban quality criteria" developed by the Gehl Institute and shown in Figure 6.4 to assess urban design opportunities along with the utilization of the Gehl Public Life Data Protocol to inform public realm investments. These criteria center around three critical human needs — protection, comfort, and enjoyment. (Gehl, J. (1987). Life between Buildings. New York: Van Nostra nd-Reinhold.) • The urban Design framework shall be developed with participation from relevant city departments including Planning & Development, Public Works, Community, Culture & Economic Development and Parks, Recreation and Human Services. The framework should be developed with Edmonds' identity as an arts destination as one of the key criteria for assessment. • The Urban Design Frameworks shall include a "Public life study". The public life study should include E data on items such as: w • The scale and urban characteristics of the space = c� • How many people are there, and for how long (L • Who is there, by gender, age, etc. • What activities are people engaging in = • Mapping of existing public spaces, transportation networks and community amenities including art installations. a E • Using data collected through public life studies, the city should create Public Life Action Plans L) as a core component of each urban design framework to identify both design and programming opportunities, gaps and areas for improvement. integrating artistic expression and cultural activities to enrich the community's distinct character and enhance quality of life. a� • Update and develop policy to implement the goals as defined in the Community Cultural plan with a _E focus on strategies of the `Creative Arts' to enrich Edmonds' physical environment, including public w spaces. .y • Strategize distribution of restricted funds collected for the acquisition, installation ad maintenance of o public art under `Municipal arts fund' and `Public art acquisition fund'. L • Based on Urban Design Framework and the completed Public Life Studies, identify areas with limited access to cultural resources and opportunities for artistic expression. c 118 CITY OF EDMONDS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN I DRAFT OCTOBER 2024 Packet Pg. 32 Community Culture and Urban Design Element Community Culture General. Edmonds is one of the oldest settlements in the southwest county area. It lies within territory once attributed to the Snohomish, Suquamish and Snoqualmie tribes, all of whom spoke Coast Salish languages. Later explorations were made by both British and Americans. Certain geographical areas and sites within Edmonds have special significance because of historical, archeological, architectural, recreational, social, cultural and scenic importance. Contemporary Edmonds has a reputation as an arts community with strong local organizations supporting visual, performing and literary arts. The citizens of Edmonds recognize the historic significance of culture, environment, arts, beauty, and recreation in our geographic area. A number of professional, non-profit, and volunteer organizations exist to ensure that these combined elements remain a vital part of the community's heritage and quality of life. Cultural facilities in the City of Edmonds can be divided into three categories: • Those funded, supported and maintained by private groups and organizations such as the Edmonds Theater, the Phoenix Theatre, and the various art galleries and art -related businesses in town; • Facilities operated and maintained in public/private partnership such as the Historical Museum, the Wade James Theatre, and ArtWorks at Old Public Works; and, • Public facilities such as Sno-Isle Regional Library, the Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA), and the Frances Anderson Community Cultural Center. Outdoor public gathering spaces include: • Specific parks and sites such as the Hazel Miller Plaza, Edmonds Library Plaza, Frances Anderson Center amphitheater and the City Park Pavilion, and • Corridors such as the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor. Outdoor gathering spaces provide venues for performing, visual and literary events and opportunities for inclusion of public art. The 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor Plan (2009) was developed to enhance Edmonds' reputation as a cultural destination and stimulate economic activity in the downtown through redevelopment of the public right of way to encourage pedestrian flow between the Edmonds Center for the Arts and downtown retail. The plan includes art elements in a curbless roadway design as well as incorporation of public art and interpretive elements highlighting local history along the corridor. The City has a current Community Cultural Plan (2014), adopted by reference as a part of the Comprehensive Plan, which provides the vision, goals and implementation strategies for the cultural development of the community. The Community Cultural Plan points to incorporation of public art Community Culture and Urban Design 119 Packet Pg. 33 and quality design to increase public use and enjoyment of public facilities, spaces, and gateways to the community. Historic preservation is an important facet of community culture. The City has an inventory of various historic buildings and sites. The Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) has been established to promote historic preservation in the community and encourage owners of historically significant properties to voluntarily add them to the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. The HPC partners with other arts and historical organizations, such as the Edmonds South Snohomish County Historical Society and Museum, in pursuing its mission. Community Culture Goals & Policies The Community Culture component of the Comprehensive Plan has five goals emphasizing historic, recreational, social, cultural facilities, and scenic values. Each key goal in this element (or section) is identified by an alphabet letter (for example, "D"). Goals are typically followed by associated policies and these are identified by the letter of the goal and a sequential number (for example, "D.2") Community Culture Goal A. Encourage the identification, maintenance and preservation of historical sites in accordance with the following policies: A.1 Continue to support an historic preservation program to identify and preserve the city's historic architectural, archeological and cultural resources for future generations to study and enjoy. A.2 Work with other public agencies and the Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission to determine priorities and incentives for identifying and preserving historic properties. Incentives encouraging the adaptive use of historic properties should be integrated into City codes and development standards. A.3 Continue to maintain and expand its inventory of historic properties. AA Use a variety of means to promote public awareness and recognition of the value of historic resources, especially those listed on the City's Register of Historic Places. Look for opportunities to partner with other historical, cultural, or arts organizations to jointly promote the City's historic and cultural resources. A.5 Additions or alterations to significant architectural buildings should not destroy historic materials that characterize the property and should be differentiated from the elements that define the historic property. Development of adjacent properties should be encouraged to be sympathetic to listed historic sites by acknowledging and including historic forms, materials, and architectural details in their design. A.6 Encourage the adoption of incentives and flexible standards to promote the adaptive use and restoration of historic properties. A.7 Maintain a HPC strategic plan to help guide the priorities and activities of the Commission. Community Culture and Urban Design 120 Packet Pg. 34 Community Culture Goal B. Encourage recreational opportunities. B.1 Encourage public access to significant recreational areas and development of pedestrian friendly connections between areas. B.2 Significant recreational areas would include, but not be limited to: Puget Sound Shorelines, Lake Ballinger, Edmonds Marsh, Yost Park, Lund's Gulch, etc. B.3 Compatible land uses should be made of surrounding areas. BA Promote public awareness and recognition of the value of these resources. Community Culture Goal C. Identify and maintain significant public and private social areas. C.1 Compatible land uses should be made of surrounding lands including potential for incorporation of public art elements. C.2 Pursue public and private funding for such social areas such as: Senior Center, Frances Anderson Center, Edmonds Center for the Arts, Edmonds Museum, Wade James Theatre, Maplewood Rock and Gem Club House, and public plazas. Community Culture Goal D. Identify, maintain and develop cultural facilities — both public and private — in a wide variety of areas, including drama, dance, music, visual arts, literary arts, theaters, museums, and library. D.1 Encourage compatible land uses surrounding cultural sites including potential for incorporation of public art elements. D.2 Pursue funding for public purposes and partner with private non-profit organizations to develop and operate cultural facilities. D.3 Cultural sites would include, but not be limited to: the Wade James Theatre, the Edmonds Center for the Arts, Frances Anderson Center and amphitheater, Museum, Edmonds Theater, Masonic Hall, Old Public Works, and Sno-Isle Library. Community Culture Goal E. Identify, maintain and enhance scenic areas throughout the city. E.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. E.2 Incorporate scenic and aesthetic design features, such as public art, into the development of public projects. E.3 Preserve scenic features whenever possible in the development of public projects. EA Use environmental and urban design review of development projects to avoid or mitigate impacts to identified scenic features. Community Culture and Urban Design 121 Packet Pg. 35 Urban Design 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 integrated into the natural environment helps create the community's special characteristics and contribute to the quality of life in Edmonds. 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. Views, especially views from public corridors and public places, are an important community asset. However, unsightly development — of poor quality or design — does exist in the City. Aging buildings in some parts of the City can create an aesthetic problem if they are not maintained. Retaining historic buildings can positively reinforce the character of an area such as downtown. The strip type of development along Highway 99 has often resulted in economic underdevelopment of private properties that end up being aesthetically displeasing. 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 excessive or of 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 can be better integrated with the landscape. Urban Design Goals & Policies The general design objectives provided with this goal are intended to provide general guidance, while the subsequent design objectives (Goals B, C and D) for specific locations or situations are intended to supplement the general objectives and add more guidance for those specific situations. Each key goal in this element (or section) is identified by an alphabet letter (for example, "D"). Goals are typically followed by associated policies and these are identified by the letter of the goal and a sequential number (for example, "D.2") General Design Goal A. Design goals and objectives are intended to provide a set of tools for the City to use to guide future development to result in high quality, well -designed, and sensitive projects that reflect the values of the citizens of Edmonds. The goals and related objectives contained in this section are intended to: • improve the physical appearance and character of Edmonds, • improve retail and pedestrian circulation options, Community Culture and Urban Design 122 Packet Pg. 36 • improve business opportunities, • protect natural environments using sustainable design practices, • protect and enhance the residential character of Edmonds. General Design Objectives 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. 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 and coherent physical environment. A.1 Vehicular Access. Reduce the numbers and width of driveways (curb cuts) in order to improve pedestrian, bicycle and auto safety. A.2 Layout of Parking. Locating buildings in proximity to the street to facilitate direct pedestrian access and help define the street edge. Parking should be placed to the side and rear. A.3 Connections On- and Offsite. Design site access and circulation within and between sites to encourage linkages for pedestrians, vehicles, and bicycles. Special attention should be paid to providing and improving connections to transit. A.4 Building Entry Location. Building entries should be configured to provide clear entry points to buildings, be oriented to pedestrian walkways/pathways, and support the overall intent of the streetscape environment. Space at the entry for gathering or seating is desirable for residential or mixed use buildings. A.5 Setbacks. Create and maintain the landscape and site characteristics of each neighborhood area and provide a common street frontage tieing each site to its neighbor. Setbacks should be appropriate to the desired streetscape, providing for transition areas between public streets and private building entries where a variety of activities and amenities can occur. A.6 Open Space. For residential settings, create green spaces to enhance the visual attributes of the development and provide places for interaction, play, seating, and other activities. A.7 Building/Site Identity. Improve pedestrian access and way -finding by providing variety in building forms, colors, materials and individuality of buildings. A.8 Weather Protection. Provide covered walkways and entries for pedestrian weather protection. Community Culture and Urban Design 123 Packet Pg. 37 A.9 Lighting. Provide adequate and appropriate illumination in all areas used by automobiles, bicycles and pedestrians — including building entries, walkways, parking areas, circulation areas and other open spaces — to support activity and security. A.10 Signage. Encourage signage that provides clear information and direction for properties and businesses while preventing the streetscape from becoming cluttered. Encourage the use of graphics and symbols in signage to support the city's emphasis on uniqueness and the arts. A.11 Site Utilities, Storage, Trash and Mechanical Systems. Minimize the noise, odor and visual impacts of utility systems using such features as landscaping, building forms, or integrated design. A.12 Integrating Site Features. Integrate natural landscape features and unique landforms — such as rocky outcroppings or significant trees — into site design whenever possible. A.13 Landscape Buffers. Use landscaping and/or other features such as fences to maintain privacy and create a visual barrier between incompatible uses. These buffering techniques should also be used to soften hard edges (such as the perimeters of parking lots) and reinforce pedestrian ways and circulation routes. Native plants and rain gardens should be promoted as alternatives to lawns and runoff retention areas. 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. A.14 Building Form. Encourage new construction to avoid repetitive, monotonous building forms. A.15 Massing. Reduce the apparent bulk and mass of buildings by encouraging human scale elements in building design and/or by subdividing building masses vertically or horizontally. A.16 Roof Modulation. Use roof forms to help identify different programs or functional areas within the building and support differentiation of building form and massing. Roof design, in combination with wall modulation, can allow for additional light to enter buildings or pedestrian spaces. A.17 Wall Modulation. Variation in materials, decorative elements, or other features should be employed to support pedestrian scale environments and streetscapes, or to help break up large building masses to keep in scale with the surrounding environment. Community Culture and Urban Design 124 Packet Pg. 38 Design Objectives for Building Facade. 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 and demonstrates the strong sense of place and integrity valued by the residents of the City of Edmonds. A.18 Building Facade Design. Encourage building fagades that reinforce the appearance and consistency of streetscape patterns while supporting diversity and identity in building design. A.19 Window Variety and Articulation. Use window size and placement to help define the scale and character of the building. Use the organization and combinations of window types to reinforce the streetscape character or to provide variation in a facade, as well as provide light and air to the building interior. A.20 Variation in Facade Materials. Employ variation in materials, colors or design elements on building fagades to help define the scale and style of the structure. Variation in facade materials can help reduce the apparent bulk of larger buildings while allowing variety and individuality of building design. Urban Design Goals & Policies for Specific Areas In addition to the general design goal and objectives described above under Goal A, supplemental design objectives are outlined below for specific areas or districts within the city. Each key goal in this element (or section) is identified by an alphabet letter (for example, "D"). Goals are typically followed by associated policies and these are identified by the letter of the goal and a sequential number (for example, "D.2") Urban Design Goal B: Downtown/Waterfront Activity Center. Design objectives and standards should be carefully crafted for the Downtown/Waterfront Activity Center to encourage its unique design character and important place -making status within the city. B.1 Vehicular Access and Parking. Driveways and curb cuts should be minimized to assure a consistent and safe streetscape for pedestrians. When alleys are present, these should be the preferred method of providing vehicular access to a property and should be used unless there is no reasonable alternative available. Configuration of parking should support a "park and walk" policy that provides adequate parking while minimizing impacts on the pedestrian streetscape. Community Culture and Urban Design 125 Packet Pg. 39 B.2 Pedestrian Access and Connections. Improve pedestrian access from the street by locating buildings close to the street and sidewalks, and defining the street edge. Cross walks at key intersections should be accentuated by the use of special materials, signage or paving treatments. Transit access and waiting areas should be provided where appropriate. B.3 Building Entry Location. Commercial building entries should be easily recognizable and oriented to the pedestrian streetscape by being located at sidewalk grade. Building Setbacks. Create a common street frontage view with enough repetition to tie each site to its neighbor. Encourage the creation of public spaces to enhance the visual attributes of the development and encourage outdoor interaction. In the Waterfront area west of the railroad, buildings should be set back from the waterfront to preserve and provide a buffer from existing beach areas. In the Waterfront area, 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. B.5 Building/Site Identity. In the downtown area, retain a connection with the scale and character of downtown through the use of similar materials, proportions, forms, masses or building elements. Encourage new construction to use designs that reference, but do not replicate historic forms or patterns. B.6 Weather Protection. Provide a covered walkway for pedestrians traveling along public sidewalks or walkways. B.7 Signage. Lighting of signs should be indirect or minimally backlit to display lettering and symbols or graphic design instead of broadly lighting the face of the sign. Signage using graphics or symbols or that contributes to the historic character of a building should be encouraged. Art and Public Spaces. Public art and amenities such as mini parks, flower baskets, street furniture, etc., should be provided as a normal part of the public streetscape. Whenever possible, these elements should be continued in the portion of the private streetscape that adjoins the public streetscape. In the 4' Community Culture and Urban Design 126 Packet Pg. 40 Avenue Arts Corridor, art should be a common element of building design, with greater design flexibility provided when art is made a central feature of the design. B.9 Building Height. Create and preserve a human scale for downtown buildings. Building frontages along downtown streetscapes should be pedestrian in scale. B.10 Massing. Large building masses should be subdivided or softened using design elements that emphasize the human scale of the streetscape. Building facades should respect and echo historic patterns along downtown pedestrian streets. B.I I Building Facade. Provide a human scale streetscape, breaking up long facades into defined forms that continue a pattern of individual and distinct tenant spaces in commercial and mixed use areas. Avoid blank, monotonous and imposing building facades using design elements that add detail and emphasize the different levels of the building (e.g. the top or cornice vs. the pedestrian level or building base). B.12 Window Variety and Articulation. In the downtown retail and mixed commercial districts, building storefronts should be dominated by clear, transparent glass windows that allow and encourage pedestrians to walk past and look into the commercial space. Decorative trim and surrounds should be encouraged to add interest and variety. Upper floors of buildings should use windows as part of the overall design to encourage rhythm and accents in the fagade. Urban Design Goal C: Highway 99 Corridor. Additional Design Objectives for the Highway 99 Corridor should support its function as a locus of commercial and potential mixed use activity, building on the availability of multiple forms of transportation and its proximate location to surrounding neighborhoods. C.1 General Appearance and Identity. Design of buildings and spaces along Highway 99 should encourage a feeling of identity associated with different sections of the highway. C.2 Site Design. Site design should allow for vechicular access and parking as well as safe access and circulation for pedestrians. Whenever possible, sites should provide connections between adjacent businesses and between businesses and nearby residential neighborhoods. C.3 Landscaping and Buffering. Landscaping, fencing or other appropriate techniques should be used to soften the street front of sites and also used to buffer more intensive uses from adjoining less intensive use areas (e.g. buffer commercial from residential development). Urban Design Goal D: Neighborhood Commercial Areas. Design in neighborhood commercial areas should seek to support the function of the neighborhood center while paying close attention to its place within the neighborhood setting. Community Culture and Urban Design 127 Packet Pg. 41 D.1 Landscape and Buffering. Special attention should be paid to transitions from commercial development to surrounding residential areas, using landscaping and/or gradations in building scale to provide compatible development. Streetscape and Street Trees General. Trees are a valuable asset to the community.They help absorb stormwater, provide habitat for wildlife, clean pollution from the air, and give both summer shade and aesthetic pleasure. Trees on public property and within the right-of-way are a common feature of urban design. "Streetscape" is a term that refers to the street environment, often including pedestrian features, landscaping, lighting, pavement materials, and signage. The streetscape plays an important role in the livability and character of Edmonds. Public streets, with their associated walkways and pedestrian spaces, provide the places for people to interact with their neighbors, accommodate public events and commerce, promote human needs for enjoyment and exercise including arts and aesthetics, and can improve the ecological function of the city. When designed properly, the streetscape complements the urban design elements incorporated into the development of private property. A Streetscape Plan was developed in 2002 by the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department and updated in 2006. It focused on the public realm along streets, certain areas of the City such as the 4th Avenue Arts Corridor, Highway 99 International area, and downtown. The Streetscape Plan included a Street Tree Plan as an appendix. The Street Tree Plan has since been updated to reflect lessons learned about preferred tree species in certain locations. The Street Tree Plan provides guidance to the City in selecting and maintaining street trees in specific areas. In 2011, the City adopted a `Complete Streets' program that prioritizes accommodating the needs of all users — including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit and individual vehicles — in transportation projects The intent is to create safe environments for people of all ages and abilities while improving transportation options and connections between the City's destinations and centers of activity. A complete streets approach can improve the ability of residents and visitors to experience the City in a variety of ways while improving environmental quality, enhancing economic activity, and promoting healthy lifestyle. Where feasible, street trees or other landscaping located between the travel lane and the sidewalk can improve the pedestrian experience. This section has a key goal and several policies specifically related to streetscape and street trees within the public right of way. Streetscape and Street Trees Goals & Policies Each key goal in this element (or section) is identified by an alphabet letter (for example, "D"). Goals are typically followed by associated policies and these are identified by the letter of the goal and a sequential number (for example, "D.2") Community Culture and Urban Design 128 Packet Pg. 42 Streetscape and Street Trees Goal A. Enhance the public realm through streetscape and street tree choices. A.1. Encourage improvements to streets that link parks, open spaces, recreation centers, employment centers, and transportation nodes. A.2. Balance the need for short-term parking for shoppers and loading for businesses with the need for pedestrian -oriented design, especially downtown. A.3. As opportunities arise, provide for sustainable streetscapes that can enhance the natural environment, help ensure safety, and complement the characteristics of the neighborhood or district in which they are located. A.4. Promote the planting and maintenence of landscaping and street trees to enhance City gateways and connections; strengthen the character and identify of downtown and other retail/commercial centers; and improve the pedestrian environment. A.5. Seek to maintain and retain existing healthy trees in the rights -of -way without sacrificing public safety or public infrastructure or allowing a hazard or nuisance. A.6. Selecting and managing trees for planting in the public rights -of -way should be based on a variety of factors, such as aesthetics, view corridors, safety, maintenence, size, spacing, longevity, location, utilities, and adaptability to the regional environment. Implementation Actions Implementation actions are steps that are intended to be taken within a specified timeframe to address high priority Streetscape and Street Tree goals. The actions identified here are specifically called out as being important, but are not intended to be the only actions or measures that may be used by the City. Action 1: Develop an update to the Street Tree Plan by the end of 2018. Action 2: Develop an Urban Forest Management Plan by the end of 2018. Community Culture and Urban Design 129 Packet Pg. 43
