section 3 | design guidelines CS1Natural Systems and Site FeaturesUse natural systems and features of the site and itssurroundings as a starting point for project design.

A. ENERGY USE1. Energy Choices: At the earliest phase of project

development, examine how energy choices may in uencebuilding form, siting, and orientation, and factor in thendings when making siting and design decisions.

B. SUNLIGHT AND NATURAL VENTILATION1. Sun and Wind: Take advantage of solar exposure andnatural ventilation available on site where possible. Uselocal wind patterns and solar gain as a means of reducingthe need for mechanical ventilation and heating wherepossible.2. Daylight and Shading: Maximize daylight for interior andexterior spaces and minimize shading on adjacent sitesthrough the placement and/or design of structures on thesite.3. Managing Solar Gain: Manage direct sunlight falling on

south and west facing facades through shading devices andexisting or newly planted trees.Dual function weather protection and solar canopies arebeing considered for the west elevation.

C. TOPOGRAPHY1. Land Form: Use the natural topography and/or otherdesirable land forms or features to inform the project design.2. Elevation Changes: Use the existing site topography whenlocating structures and open spaces on the site. Considerstepping up or down hillsides to accommodate signi cantchanges in elevation.

E. WATER1. Natural Water Features: If the site includes any natural

water features, consider ways to incorporate them intoproject design, where feasible.2. Adding Interest with Project Drainage: Use projectdrainage systems as opportunities to add interest to thesite through water-related design elements. Features suchas trees, rain gardens, bioswales, green r oofs, fountainsof recycled water, and/or water art installations can

create movement and sound, air cooling, focal points forpedestrians, and habitats which may already be requiredto manage on-site storm water and allow reuse of potablewater for irrigation.Rain gardens are being considered for the public connectoron the north side of the site, as well as for the parking areas.

CS2Urban Pattern and FormStrengthen the most desirable forms, characteristics,and patterns of the streets, block faces, and openspaces in the surrounding area.

A. LOCATION IN THE CITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD1. Sense of Place: Emphasize attributes that give Seattle,the neighborhood, and/or the site its distinctive sense ofplace. Design the building and open spaces to enhance areaswhere a strong identity already exists, and create a senseof place where the physical context is less established.Examples of neighborhood and/or site features thatcontributed to a sense of place include patterns of streets or

blocks, slopes, sites with prominent visibility, relationshipsto bodies of water or signi cant trees, natural areas, openspaces, iconic buildings or transportation junctions, and landseen as a gateway to the community.2. Architectural Presence: Evaluate the degree of visibilityor architectural presence that is appropriate or desiredgiven the context, and design accordingly. A site may lenditself to a high-pro le design with signi cant presenceand individual identity, or may be better suited to asimpler but quality design that contributes to the block asa whole. Buildings that contribute to a strong street edge,especially at the rst three oors, are particularly importantto the creation of a quality public realm that invites socialinteraction and economic activity. Encourage all buildingfacades to incorporate design detail, articulation and quality

materials.The public connector at the north side of the building will bea signi cant aspect of the design. It is part of the networkdesired in the Urban Design Framework.

B. ADJACENT SITES, STREETS, AND OPEN SPACES1. Site Characteristics: Allow characteristics of sites to

inform the design, especially where the st reet grid andtopography create unusually shaped lots that c an adddistinction to the building massing.2. Connection to the Street: Identify opportunities for theproject to make a strong connection to the street andcarefully consider how the building will interact with the

public realm. Consider the qualities and character of thestreetscape its physical features (s idewalk, parking,landscape strip, street trees, travel lanes, and otheramenities) and its function (major retail street or quieterresidential street)in siting and designing the building.Building massing and site access will emphasize connectionswith the pedestrian connector, the proposed pedestrianconnector to the west, as well as to the prominent Alaska-Fauntleroy intersection.3. Character of Open Space: Contribute to the character andproportion of surrounding open spaces. Evaluate adjacentsites, streetscapes, trees and vegetation, and open spacesfor how they function as the walls and oor of outdoorspaces or rooms for public use. Determine how best tosupport those spaces through project siting and design (e.g.

using mature trees to frame views of architecture or otherprominent features).The site design will be uni ed and comprehensive; allelements will be in support of prevailing geometries thatsupport larger urban design goals.

C. RELATIONSHIP TO THE BLOCK1. Corner Sites: Corner sites can serve as gateways or focalpoints; both require careful detailing at the rst three oorsdue to their high visibility from two or more streets and longdistances. Consider using a corner to provide extra space forpedestrians and a generous entry, or build out to the cornerto provide a strong urban edge to the block.2. Mid-Block Sites: Look to the uses and scales of adjacentbuildings for clues about how to design a mid-block building.

Continue a strong street-edge where it is already present,and respond to datum lines created by adjacent buildingsat the rst three oors. Where adjacent properties areundeveloped or underdeveloped, design the party walls toprovide visual interest through materials, color, texture, orother means.The western edge of the building str ongly de nes the edge.

3. Full Block Sites: Break up long facades of full-buildings to avoid a monolithic presence. Providehuman scale at street-level, and include repeatingto add variety and rhythm to the faade and overadesign. Consider providing through-block access designing the project as an assemblage of buildin

spaces within the block.

D. HEIGHT, BULK, AND SCALE1. Existing Development and Zoning: Review theand scale of neighboring buildings as well as the development anticipated by zoning for the area toan appropriate complement and/or transition.Note that existing buildings may or may not re ect thdensity allowed by zoning or anticipated by applipolicies.2. Existing Site Features: Use changes in topograsite shape, and vegetation or structures to help masuccessful t with adjacent properties; for example sgreatest mass of the building on the lower part ofor using an existing stand of trees to buffer buildi

from a smaller neighboring building.The change in grade between the site and the allebeing used to shield from view the drive-through3. Zone Transitions: For projects located at the edof different zones, provide an appropriate tr ansiticomplement to the adjacent zone(s). Projects shoua step in perceived height, bulk and scale betweenanticipated development potential of the adjacentthe proposed development.The building height is such that it does not impedviews or scale of the adjacent residential zone.Factors to consider:a. Distance to the edge of a less (or more) intensivb. Differences in development standards betweenzones;

c. The type of separation from adjacent propertieseparation by property line only, by an alley or stspace, or by physical features such as grade chand. Adjacencies to different neighborhoods or distradjacencies to parks, open spaces, signi cant buildinview corridors; ande. Shading to or from neighboring properties.


13/33


design guidelines | se4. Massing Choices: Strive for a successful transitionbetween zones where a project abuts a less intense zone. Insome areas, the best approach may be to lower the buildingheight, break up the mass of the building, and/or match thescale of adjacent properties in building detailing. It may beappropriate in other areas to differ from the scale of adjacent

buildings but preserve natural systems or existing features,enable better solar exposure or site orientation, and/or makefor interesting urban form.5. Respect for Adjacent Sites: Respect adjacent propertieswith design and site planning to minimize disrupting theprivacy and outdoor activities of residents in adjacentbuildings.

West Seattle Junction Supplemental GuidanceI. Streetscape CompatibilityA pedestrian-oriented streetscape is perhaps the mostimportant characteristic to be achieved in new developmentin the Junctions mixed use areas (as previously de ned).New development particularly on SW Alaska, Genesee,Oregon and Edmunds Streetswill set the precedent in

establishing desirable siting and design characteristics in t heright-of-way.i. Reduce the scale of t he street wall with well-organizedcommercial and residential bays and entries, and reinforcethis with placement of street trees, drop lighting onbuildings, benches and planters.The west elevations will be modulation and illuminated.ii. Provide recessed entries and ground-related, small openspaces as appropriate breaks in the street wall.The current food-truck will be invited to return to the site,and the landscape design will support its functionality.iii. Outdoor power and water sources are encouraged tobe provided in order to f acilitate building maintenance andexterior decorative lighting needs. Conveniently locatedsources could also be taken advantage of for special

community events.

III. Height, Bulk and ScaleCurrent zoning in the Junction has created abrupt edgesin some areas between intensive, mixed-use developmentpotential and less-intensive, multifamily developmentpotential. In addition, the Code-complying building envelope

of NC-65 (and higher) zoning designations permitted withinthe commercial core (see Map 1, page 1) would result indevelopment that exceeds the scale of existing commercial/mixed-use development. More re ned transitions in height,bulk and scalein terms of relationship to surroundingcontext and within the proposed structure itselfmust be

considered.i. Applicant must analyze the site in relationship to itssurroundings.This should include:a. Distance from less intensive zone; andb. Separation between lots in different zones (property lineonly, alley, grade changes).ii. The massing prescribed by Neighborhood Commercialdevelopment standards does not result in mixed-usedevelopment that is compatible with the existing context.Among recent development in NC-65 zones and higher, thebase (ground level commercial area) often appears truncatedby the upper residential levels within a mixed-use building.The 13- foot, lot line to lot line commercial ground ooris an inadequate base for buildings of this size in terms

of overall proportion. Moreover, surrounding commercialstructures along California Avenue tend to have a buildingmass of 20 to 30 feet at the front property line. Therefore, fornew development in Neighborhood Commercial zones 65 orhigher:a. Patterns of urban form in existing built environment, suchas setbacks and massing compositions.b. Size of Code-allowable building envelope in relation tounderlying platting pattern.iii. New buildings should use architectural methods includingmodulation, color, texture, entries, materials and detailingto break up the faade particularly important for longbuildingsinto sections and character consistent withtraditional, multi-bay commercial buildings prevalent in theneighborhoods commercial core (see map 1, page 1).

The mid-century commercial structures along CaliforniaAvenue are an important precedent in the design of thebuilding.iv. The arrangement of architectural elements, materials andcolors should aid in mitigating height, bulk and scale impactsof NeighborhoodCommercial development, particularly at the upper levels.

For development greater than 65 feet in height, a stronghorizontal treatment (e.g. cornice line) should occur at 65 ft.Consider a change of materials, as well as a progressivelylighter color application to reduce the appearance of upperlevels from the street and adjacent properties. The useof architectural style, details (e.g. roo ines, cornice lines,

fenestration patterns), and materials found in less intensivesurrounding buildings should be considered.

CS3Architectural Context and CharacterContribute to the architectural character of theneighborhood.

A. EMPHASIZING POSITIVE NEIGHBORHOOD ATTRIBUTES1. Fitting Old and New Together: Create compatibilitybetween new projects, and existing architectural context,including historic and modern designs, through buildingarticulation, scale and proportion, roof forms, detailing,fenestration, and/or the use of c omplementary materials.2. Contemporary Design: Explore how contemporary designs

can contribute to the development of attractive new formsand architectural styles; as expressed through use of newmaterials or other means.3. Established Neighborhoods: In existing neighborhoodswith a well-de ned architectural character, site and designnew structures to complement or be compatible with thearchitectural style and siting patterns of neighborhoodbuildings.4. Evolving Neighborhoods: In neighborhoods wherearchitectural character is evolving or otherwise in transition,explore ways for new development to establish a positiveand desirable context for others to build upon in the future.

B. LOCAL HISTORY AND CULTURE1. Placemaking: Explore the history of the site and

neighborhood as a potential placemaking opportunity. Lookfor historical and cultural signi cance, using neighborhoodgroups and archives as resources.2. Historical/Cultural References: Reuse existing structureson the site where feasible as a means of incorporatinghistorical or cultural elements into the new project.The development team has had 3 meetings with JUNO, as

well as with the Chamber of Commerce. Mthere will be at least two additional meetinseek their valuable perspective.

PL1Connectivity

Complement and contribute to the networspaces around the site and the connection them.

A. NETWORK OF OPEN SPACES1. Enhancing Open Space: Design the builspaces to positively contribute to a broadespaces throughout the neighborhood. Condesign can enhance the features and activioff-site open spaces. Open space may inclstreets and alleys, circulation routes and oall kinds.The key concept for the development is toseries of mid-block pedestrian connectorsthe Urban Design Framework.

2. Adding to Public Life: Seek opportunitiinteraction through an increase in the s izeproject-related open space available for pufeatures such as widened sidewalks, recesbulbs, courtyards, plazas, or through-blocalong with place-making elements such asart, or other amenities, in addition to the pamenities listed in PL1.B3.Designing open space to support the mid-balleyways, and the sidewalk are all importfor meaningful active uses, such as providplace for a food truck or similar vendor.

B. WALKWAYS AND CONNECTIONS1. Pedestrian Infrastructure: Connect on-s

walkways with existing public and privateinfrastructure, thereby supporting pedestriwithin and outside the project.2. Pedestrian Volumes: Provide ample spa

ow and circulation, particularly in areas whalready heavy pedestrian traf c or where theexpected to add or attract pedestrians to th


14/33


section 3 | design guidelines 3. Pedestrian Amenities: Opportunities for creating lively,pedestrian oriented open spaces to enliven the area andattract interest and interaction with the site and buildingshould be considered. Visible access to the buildings entryshould be provided. Examples of pedestrian amenitiesinclude seating, other street furniture, lighting, year-r ound

landscaping, seasonal plantings, pedestrian scale signage,site furniture, art work, awnings, large storefront windows,and engaging retail displays and/or kiosks.

C. OUTDOOR USES AND ACTIVITIES1. Selecting Activity Areas: Concentrate activity areas inplaces with sunny exposure, views across spaces, and indirect line with pedestrian routes.2. Informal Community Uses: In addition to places forwalking and sitting, consider including space for informalcommunity use such as performances, farmers markets,kiosks and community bulletin boards, cafes, or streetvending.A mix of these activities will be considered in the design ofthe open space.

3. Year-Round Activity: Where possible, include featuresin open spaces for activities beyond daylight hoursand throughout the seasons of the year, especially inneighborhood centers where active open space willcontribute vibrancy, economic health, and public safety.These may include:a. seasonal plantings or displays and/or water features;b. outdoor heaters;c. overhead weather protection;d. ample, moveable seating and tables and opportunities foroutdoor dining;e. an extra level of pedestrian lighting;f. trees for moderate weather protection and shade; and/org. 24-hour wi- service.

West Seattle Junction Supplemental GuidanceI. Architectural Contexti. Facade Articulation: To make new, larger developmentcompatible with the surrounding architectural context,facade articulation and architectural embellishment areimportant considerations in mixed-use and multifamilyresidential buildings. When larger buildings replace several

small buildings, facade articulation should re ect the originalplatting pattern and reinforce the architectural rhythmestablished in the commercial core (see map 1, page 1).ii. Architectural Cues: New mixed-use development shouldrespond to several architectural features common in theJunctions best storefront buildings to preserve and enhance

pedestrian orientation and maintain an acceptable levelof consistency with the existing architecture. To createcohesiveness in the Junction, identi able and exemplaryarchitectural patterns should be reinforced. New elementscan be introduced - provided they are accompanied bystrong design linkages. Preferred elements can be f ound inthe examples of commercial and mixed-use buildings in theJunction included on this page.

I. Human ActivityAn active and interesting sidewalk engages pedestriansthrough effective transitions between the public and privaterealms.The transition from the sidewalk to the open space will takeadvantage of the small change in grade t o provide for an

interesting procession and welcoming entry.i. Particularly in the California Avenue Commercial Core (seemap1, page 1), proposed development is encouraged to setback from the front property line to allow for more publicspace that enhances the pedestrian environment. Buildingfacades should give shape to the space of the street througharrangement and scale of elements. Display windows shouldbe large and open at the street level to provide interestand encourage activity along the sidewalk. At night, thesewindows should provide a secondary source of lighting.ii. In exchange for a loss of development potential at theground oor, the Design Review Board is encouraged toentertain requests for departures to exceed the lot coveragerequirement for mixed-use projects.

iii. When a setback is not appropriate or feasible, considermaximizing street level open space with recessed entriesand commercial display windows that are open and inviting.

PL2WalkabilityCreate a safe and comfortable walking environment

that is easy to navigate and well-connected to existingpedestrian walkways and features.

A. ACCESSIBILITY1. Access for All: Provide access for people of all abilitiesin a manner that is fully integrated into the project design.Design entries and other primary access points such that all

visitors can be greeted and welcomed through the front door.Refrain from creating separate back door entrances forpersons with mobility limitations.All site and building entries will be equally accessible andinviting.2. Access Challenges: Add features to assist pedestriansin navigating sloped sites, long blocks, or other challenges.Examples include exterior stairs and landings, escalators,elevators, textured ground surfaces, seating at key restingpoints, through-block connections, and ramps for wheeleddevices (wheelchairs, strollers, bicycles).Seating and lighting is provided to enhance access.

B. SAFETY AND SECURITY1. Eyes on the Street: Create a safe environment by providing

lines of sight and encouraging natural surveillance t hroughstrategic placement of doors, windows, balconies and str eet-level uses.2. Lighting for Safety: Provide lighting at suf cient lumenintensities and scales, including pathway illumination,pedestrian and entry lighting, and/or security lights.3. Street-Level Transparency: Ensure transparency of street-level uses (for uses such as nonresidential uses or residentiallobbies), where appropriate, by keeping views open intospaces behind walls or plantings, at corners, or along narrowpassageways. Choose semi-transparent rather than opaquescreening.Both the pedestrian pass-through and the sidewalkelevations are extensively glazed.

C. WEATHER PROTECTION1. Locations and Coverage: Overhead weather protectionis encouraged and should be located at or near uses thatgenerate pedestrian activity such as entries, retail uses, andtransit stops. Address changes in topography as needed toprovide continuous coverage the full length of the building,where possible.

Canopies are provided.2. Design Integration: Integrate weather protectioand downspouts into the design of the structure aand ensure that it also relates well to neighboringin design, coverage, or other features.3. People-Friendly Spaces: Create an artful and pe

friendly space beneath building canopies by usingscale architectural elements and a pattern of formor textures at intervals along the faade. If transpcanopies are used, design to accommodate regulaand maintenance.

D. WAYFINDING1. Design as Way nding: Use design features as a meway nding wherever possible, and provide clear diresignage where needed.Signage, paving, and landscape are coordinate to active pedestrian realm.

West Seattle Junction Supplemental GuidanceI. Human Scale

Facades should contain elements that enhance pedcomfort and orientation while presenting featuresvisual interest that invite activity.i. Overhead weather protection should be functionappropriately scaled, as de ned by the height and depthe weather protection.It should be viewed as an architectural amenity, atherefore contribute positively to the design of thwith appropriate proportions and character.Overhead weather protection should be designed consideration given to:a. Continuity with weather protection on nearby bb. When opaque material is used, the underside shilluminated.c. The height and depth of the weather protection

provide a comfortable scale for pedestrians.The height and depth of the weather protection prcomfortable scale for pedestrians.

II. Pedestrian Open Spaces and EntrancesDesign projects to attract pedestrians to the commcorridors

design guidelines | se(California, Alaska). Larger sites are encouraged toincorporate pedestrian walkways and open spaces to cr eatebreaks in the street wall and encourage movement throughthe site and to t he surrounding area. The Design ReviewBoard would be willing to entertain a request for departuresfrom development standards (e.g. an increase in the 64%

upper level lot coverage in NC zones and a reduction in openspace) to recover development potential lost at the groundlevel.i. Street Amenities: Streetscape amenities mark the entryand serve as way nding devices in announcing to visitorstheir arrival in the commercial district. Consider incorporatingthe following treatments to accomplish this goal:a. pedestrian scale sidewalk lighting;b. accent pavers at corners and midblock crossings;c. planters;d. seating.ii. Pedestrian enhancements should especially be consideredin the street frontage where a building sets back from thesidewalk.Note: The recently completed California Avenue SW

street improvement project offers good examples ofstreet amenities that could be r epeated in portions of newdevelopments that extend into the public realm. Details ofthese streetscape elements can be obtained from the WestSeattle Junction Association.

PL3Street-Level InteractionEncourage human interaction and activity at the street-level with clear connections to building entries andedges.

A. ENTRIES1. Design Objectives: Design primary entries to be obvious,identi able, and distinctive with clear lines of sight and

lobbies visually connected to the street. Scale and detailthem to function well for their anticipated use and also tot with the building of which they are a part, differentiating

residential and commercial entries with design features andamenities speci c to each.The combined building and site entry are easily identi ed.a. Of ce/commercial lobbies should be visually connected

to the street through the primary entry and sized toaccommodate the range and volume of foot traf canticipated;b. Retail entries should include adequate space for severalpatrons to enter and exit simultaneously, preferably undercover from weather.

There are two retail entries, each sized to accommodatesimultaneous ingress and egress.c. Common entries to multi-story residential buildingsneed to provide privacy and security for residents butalso be welcoming and identi able to visitors. Designfeatures emphasizing the entry as a semi-private space arerecommended and may be accomplished through signage,low walls and/or landscaping, a recessed entry area, andother detailing that signals a break from the public sidewalk.d. Individual entries to ground-related housing should bescaled and detailed appropriately to provide for a moreintimate type of entry. The design should contribute to asense of identity, opportunity for personalization, offerprivacy, and emphasize personal safety and security forbuilding occupants.

2. Ensemble of Elements: Design the entry as a collectionof coordinated elements including the door(s), overheadfeatures, ground surface, landscaping, lighting, and otherfeatures. Consider a range of elements such as:a. overhead shelter: canopies, porches, building extensions;b. transitional spaces: stoops, courtyards, stairways, portals,arcades, pocket gardens, decks;c. ground surface: seating walls; special paving, landscaping,trees, lighting;Above-grade residential entries and extensive andd. building surface/interface: privacy screens, upward-operating shades on windows, signage, lighting.

C. RETAIL EDGES1. Porous Edge: Engage passersby with opportunities to

interact visually with the building interior using glazing andtransparency. Create multiple entries where possible andmake a physical and visual c onnection between people onthe sidewalk and retail activities in the building.2. Visibility: Maximize visibility into the building interiorand merchandise displays. Consider fully operational glazedwall-sized doors that can be c ompletely opened to the

street, increased height in lobbies, and/or special lighting f ordisplays.Unobstructed views into the retail s pace are provided.3. Ancillary Activities: Allow space for activities suchas sidewalk vending, seating, and restaurant dining tooccur. Consider setting structures back from the street or

incorporating space in the project design into which retailuses can extend.These features are incorporated into the design.

PL4Active TransportationIncorporate design features that facilitate active formsof transportation such as walking, bicycling, and use of transit.

A. ENTRY LOCATIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS1. Serving all Modes of Travel: Provide safe and convenientaccess points for all modes of travel.As possible, thie existing Metro bus stop will be coordinatedinto the site design.

2. Connections to All Modes: Site the primary entry in alocation that logically relates to building uses and clearlyconnects all major points of access.

B. PLANNING AHEAD FOR BICYCLISTS1. Early Planning: Consider existing and future bicycle traf cto and through the site early in the process so that accessand connections are integrated into the project along withother modes of travel.Providing a bicycle lane is under consideration as part of thestreet improvments.2. Bike Facilities: Facilities such as bike racks and storage,bike share stations, shower facilities and lockers forbicyclists should be located to maximize convenience,security, and safety.

On-street bicycle parking is provided.3. Bike Connections: Facilitate connections to bicycle t railsand infrastructure around and beyond the project. Designbicycling access points so that they relate to the street gridand include information about connections to existing trailsand infrastructure where possible. Also consider signage,kiosks, building lobbies, and bicycle parking areas, where

provided, as opportunities to share bicycli

C. PLANNING AHEAD FOR TRANSIT1. In uence on Project Design: Identify how (planned or built) adjacent to or near the site project design, provide opportunities for p

or suggest logical locations for building enopen space, or landscaping. Take advantagof transit patrons to support retail uses in t2. On-site Transit Stops: If a transit stop isdesign project related pedestrian improvemamenities so that they complement (or at lcon ict with) any amenities provided for tranConsider the proximity of transit queuingto other pedestrian gathering spaces, aiminroom to accommodate all users. Similarlysight to approaching buses or trains open clear through location and design whetherpedestrian lighting, weather protection, anintended to be shared by transit users.3. Transit Connections: Where no transit s

adjacent to the site, identify where the neaand pedestrian routes are and include desiconnections within the project design as a

section 3 | design guidelines hours.3. Flexibility: Build in exibility so the building can adaptover time to evolving needs, such as the ability to changeresidential space to commercial space as needed.The site improvements are intended to be a public asset,whose life extends beyond the lease terms of the tenant.

4. Views and Connections: Locate interior uses and activitiesto take advantage of views and physical connections toexterior spaces and uses, particularly activities alongsidewalks, parks or other public spaces.

B. VEHICULAR ACCESS AND CIRCULATION1. Access Location and Design: Choose locations f orvehicular access, service uses, and delivery areas thatminimize con ict between vehicles and non-motoristswherever possible. Emphasize use of the sidewalk forpedestrians, and create safe and attractive conditions forpedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers by: a. using existing alleysfor access or, where alley access is not feasible, choosing alocation for street access that is the least visually dominantand/or which offers opportunity for shared driveway use;

Existing curb cuts are used to the greatest extent possible,and drive-through access is shielded from view to thegreatest extent possible. The existing alley and parkingareas are being used for site acces, with the parking areabeing landscaped.b. where driveways and curb cuts are unavoidable, minimizethe number and width as much as possible; and/orc. employing a multi-sensory approach to areas of potentialvehicle pedestrian con ict such as garage exits/entrances.Design features may include contrasting or texturedpavement, warning lights and sounds, and similar safetydevices.2. Facilities for Alternative Transportation: Locate anyfacilities for alternative transportation such as sharedvehicles, carpooling and charging stations for electric

vehicles in prominent locations that are convenient andreadily accessible to expected users.

C. PARKING AND SERVICE USES1. Below-Grade Parking: Locate parking below gradewherever possible.Where a surface parking lot is the only alternative, locate

the parking in rear or side yards, or on lower or less visibleportions of the site.Existing parking incorporates new landscape to minimizevisual impact.2. Visual Impacts: Reduce the visual impacts of parkinglots, parking structures, entrances, and related signs

and equipment as much as possible. Consider breakinglarge parking lots into smaller lots, and/ or provide trees,landscaping or fencing as a screen. Design at-grade parkingstructures so that they are architecturally compatible withthe rest of the building and streetscape.3. Multiple Uses: Design parking areas to serve multipleuses such as childrens play space, outdoor gathering areas,sports courts, woonerf, or common space in multifamilyprojects.Parking layout re ects the open space design.4. Service Uses: Locate and design s ervice entries, loadingdocks, and trash receptacles away from pedestrian areas orto a less visible portion of the site to reduce possible impactsof these facilities on building aesthetics and pedestriancirculation. Where service facilities abut pedestrian areas

or the perimeter of the property, maintain an attractive edgethrough screening, plantings, or other design treatments.All service elements are located from view of shielded bylandscape to the greatest extent possible; also, an existingadjacent dumpster is being relocated and screened to reducevisual clutter adjacent to the site.

DC2Architectural ConceptDevelop an architectural concept that will result in auni ed and functional design that ts well on the siteand within its surroundings.

A. MASSING1. Site Characteristics and Uses: Arrange the mass of the

building taking into consideration the characteristics ofthe site and the proposed uses of the building and its openspace. In addition, special situations such as very large sites,unusually shaped sites, or sites with varied topographymay require particular attention to where and how buildingmassing is arranged as they can accentuate mass andheight.

2. Reducing Perceived Mass: Use secondary architecturalelements to reduce the perceived mass of larger projects.Consider creating recesses or indentations in t he buildingenvelope; adding balconies, bay windows, porches, canopiesor other elements; and/or highlighting building entries.

B. ARCHITECTURAL AND FAADE COMPOSITION1. Faade Composition: Design all building facadesincluding alleys and visible roofsconsidering thecomposition and architectural expression of the building asa whole. Ensure that all facades are attractive and well-proportioned through the placement and detailing of allelements, including bays, fenestration, and materials, andany patterns created by their arrangement. On sites thatabut an alley, design the alley faade and its connection tothe street carefully. At a minimum, consider wrapping thetreatment of the street-facing faade around the alley cornerof the building.2. Blank Walls: Avoid large blank walls along visible faadeswherever possible. Where expanses of blank walls, retainingwalls, or garage facades are unavoidable, include uses or

design treatments at the street level that have human scaleand are designed for pedestrians. These may include:a. newsstands, ticket booths and ower shops (even if smallor narrow);b. green walls, landscaped areas or r aised planters;c. wall setbacks or other indentations;d. display windows; trellises or other secondary elements;e. art as appropriate t o area zoning and uses; and/orf. terraces and landscaping where retaining walls above eyelevel are unavoidable.Blank facades along the alley and the south elevation havedetail and landscape enhancements.

C. SECONDARY ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES1. Visual Depth and Interest: Add depth to facades where

appropriate by incorporating balconies, canopies, awnings,decks, or other secondary elements into the faade design.Add detailing at the street level in order to create interest forthe pedestrian and encourage active street life and windowshopping (in retail areas). Detailing may include featuressuch as distinctive door and window hardware, projectingwindow sills, ornamental tile or metal, and other high-quality

surface materials and nishes.2. Dual Purpose Elements: Consider architecturalthat can be dual purposeadding depth, texture, as well as serving other project functions. Exampshading devices and windows that add rhythm anwell as contribute toward energy ef ciency and/or sa

or canopies that provide street-level scale and detalso offering weather protection. Where these eleprominent design features, the quality of t he matecritical.3. Fit With Neighboring Buildings: Use design elto achieve a successful t between a building and itsneighbors, such as:a. considering aspects of neighboring buildings tharchitectural style, roof line, datum line detailingfenestration, color or materials,b. using trees and landscaping to enhance the buildesign and t with the surr ounding context, and/orc. creating a well-proportioned base, middle and tthe building in locations where this might be apprConsider how surrounding buildings have addres

middle, and top, and whether those solutionsoronesmight be a good t for the project and its cont

D. SCALE AND TEXTURE1. Human Scale: Incorporate architectural featureelements, and details that are of human scale intobuilding facades, entries, retaining walls, courtyaand exterior spaces in a manner that is consistent the overall architectural concept. Pay special attethe rst three oors of the building in order to maximopportunities to engage the pedestrian and enableand vibrant street front.2. Texture: Design the character of the building, ain the form, scale, and materials, to strive for a ne-gscale, or texture, particularly at the street level

areas where pedestrians predominate.

E. FORM AND FUNCTION1. Legibility and Flexibility: Strive for a balance building legibility and exibility. Design buildings sutheir primary functions and uses can be readily defrom the exterior, making the building easy to acc

design guidelines | seunderstand. At the same time, design exibility into thebuilding so that it may remain useful over time even asspeci c programmatic needs evolve.

DC3Open Space Concept

Integrate open space design with the design of thebuilding so that each complements the other.

A. BUILDING-OPEN SPACE RELATIONSHIP1. Interior/Exterior Fit: Develop an open space concept inconjunction with the architectural concept to ensure thatinterior and exterior spaces relate well to each other andsupport the functions of the development.There is a strong relationship between interior and exterior.

B. OPEN SPACE USES AND ACTIVITIES1. Meeting User Needs: Plan the size, uses, activities, andfeatures of each open space to meet the needs of expectedusers, ensuring each space has a purpose and function.2. Matching Uses to Conditions: Respond to changing

environmental conditions such as seasonal and daily lightand weather shifts through open space design and/orprogramming of open space activities. For example, placeoutdoor seating and gathering areas where there is sunnyexposure and shelter from wind. Build exibility into thedesign in order to accommodate changes as needed; e.g. asouth-facing courtyard that is ideal in spring may become toohot in summer, necessitating a shift of outdoor furniture to ashadier location for the season.3. Connections to Other Open Space: Site and design project-related open spaces should connect with, or enhance, theuses and activities of other nearby public open space whereappropriate. Look for opportunities to support uses andactivities on adjacent properties and/or the s idewalk.4. Multifamily Open Space: Design common and private

open spaces in multifamily projects for use by all residentsto encourage physical activity and social interaction. Someexamples include areas for gardening, childrens play(covered and uncovered), barbeques, resident meetings, andcrafts or hobbies.

C. DESIGN

1. Reinforce Existing Open Space: Where a st rong openspace concept exists in the neighborhood, reinforce existingcharacter and patterns of street tree planting, buffersor treatment of topographic changes. Where no strongpatterns exist, initiate a strong open space concept, whereappropriate, that other projects can build upon in the future.

The open space design reinforces the intent of the UrbanDesign Framework.2. Amenities and Features: Create attractive outdoor spaceswell-suited to the uses envisioned for the project. Use acombination of hardscape and plantings to shape thesespaces and to screen less attractive areas as needed. Use avariety of features, such as planters, green roofs and decks,groves of trees, and vertical green trellises along with moretraditional foundation plantings, street trees, and seasonaldisplays.3. Support Natural Areas: Create an open space design thatretains and enhances on-site natural areas and connects tonatural areas that may exist off-site and may provide habitatfor wildlife. If the site contains no natural areas, consider anopen space design that offers opportunities to create larger

contiguous open spaces and corridors in the future withdevelopment of other public or private projects.

DC4Exterior Elements and FinishesUse appropriate and high quality elements and nishesfor the building and its open spaces.

A. BUILDING MATERIALS1. Exterior Finish Materials: Building exteriors s hould beconstructed of durable and maintainable materials that areattractive even when viewed up close. Materials that havetexture, pattern, or lend themselves to a high quality ofdetailing are encouraged.2. Climate Appropriateness: Select durable and attractive

materials that will age well in Seattles climate, takingspecial care to detail corners, edges, and transitions. Highlyvisible features, such as balconies, grilles and railings shouldbe especially attractive, well-crafted and easy to maintain.Pay particular attention to environments that create harshconditions that may require special materials and details,such as marine areas or open or exposed sites.

B. SIGNAGE1. Scale and Character: Add interest to the streetscape withexterior signs and attachments that are appropriate in scaleand character to the project and its environs. Signage shouldbe compatible in character, scale, and locations while stillallowing businesses to present a unique identity.

2. Coordination with Project Design: Develop a signage planwithin the context of architectural and open space concepts,and coordinate the details with faade design, lighting, andother project features to complement the project as a whole,in addition to the surrounding context.

West Seattle Supplemental GuidanceI. Human Scalei. Signage: Signs should add interest to the street levelenvironment.They can unify the overall architectural concept of thebuilding, or provide unique identity for a commercial spacewithin a larger mixed-use structure. Design signage that isappropriate for the scale, character and use of the projectand surrounding area. Signs should be oriented and scaled

for both pedestrians on sidewalks and vehicles on streets.The following sign types are encouraged:a. pedestrian-oriented blade and window signs;b. marquee signs and signs on overhead weather protection;c. appropriately sized neon signs.

C. LIGHTING1. Functions: Use lighting both to increase site safety in alllocations used by pedestrians and to highlight architecturalor landscape details and features such as entries, signs,canopies, plantings, and art.Pedestrian and landscape supporting lighting is provided.2. Avoiding Glare: Design project lighting based upon theuses on and off site, taking care to provide illumination toserve building needs while avoiding off-site night glare and

light pollution.D. TREES, LANDSCAPE AND HARDSCAPE MATERIALS1. Choice of Plant Materials: Reinforce the overallarchitectural and open space design concepts through t heselection of landscape materials. Choose plants that willemphasize or accent the design, create enduring green

spaces, and be appropriate to particular loaccount solar access, soil conditions, and of use. Select landscaping that will thrive conditions.Robust, urban plantings are provided.2. Hardscape Materials: Use exterior cour

other hard surfaced areas as an opportunittexture, and/or pattern and enliven public the use of distinctive and durable paving mpermeable materials wherever possible.3. Long Range Planning: Select plants thabe of appropriate size, scale, and shape tosite as intended. It may be necessary to crplan for various stages of plant maturity, s20 year plans in order to ensure the landscand function as needed over the life of the4. Place Making: Create a landscape design thspaces with signi cant elements such as tree

E. PROJECT ASSEMBLY AND LIFESPA1. Deconstruction: When possible, design

it may be deconstructed at the end of its uconnections and assembly techniques thatof materials.
