B. Buildine Location. For comer sites with Landscaoed block frontaee on one street and
Storefront or Mixed on another. a Storefront frontage may wrao around the comer (on the
Landscaped block frontage side) for up to a halfblock width or no more than 120 feet
(whichever is more).
C. Entrances. For comer sites, entrances on both streets are encourased. but onlv one entrance
is required. For comer sites with frontaee on a Storefront block frontaee on one side. an
entrance must be placed on the Storefront block frontaee side. For comer sites with a mix of
desimations that do not include a Storefront block frontaee. the entry must be placed on the
side listed first in the order ofpreference identified above. An extrance at the buildins comer
and facins an intersection must be permitted under any of the above scenarios.
DEPARTURES may be considered. provided the location and desim of the entr.y and block
frontaee treatrnents are compatible with the character of the area and enhance the character of
the street.
D. Transoarencv. For corner sites. at least one block frontage must meet the aoplicable
transparency standards (based on the order ofpreference above). For the second block
frontaqe, the Director mav approve a reduction in the minimum amount oftransparency by
50 percent. For street corners with the same desisnations on both frontaees. buildines must
ernoloy the full transparency on the dominant frontage (based on the frontaee width or
established neiehborhood pattem).
E. Prrking. Surlace parkins (includins sound floor parkins in a structure) adiacent to a street

17.22.250 - Service areas and mechanical eouioment.
A. Puroose.
1. To minimize adverse visual. odor. fumes. and noise imoacts of mechanical eouipment.
utility cabinets and other service areas at ground and roof levels.
2. To provide adequate. durable. well-maintained. and accessible service and equipment
areas.
3. To protect residential uses and adjacent properties from impacts due to location and
utilization of service areas.
B. Location of eround-level serice areas and mechanical equipmenL Ground-level buildine
service areas and mechanical eouipment includes loadins docks. trash collection and
compactors. dumOster areas. storaee tanks. electrical Oanels. HVAC equiOment. and other
utility eouipment. If atry such elements are outside the buildinq envelope at s'ound level. the
followine location standards applv:
l. Service areas must be located for convenient service access while avoidins negative
visual. auditory. olfactorv, or OhVsical impacts on the streetscape environment and
adiacent residentiallv zoned prooerties.
2. Where practical. service areas must not be visible from the sidewalk and adiacent
oroperties. Where the Director finds that the only option practical for locatinq a service
area is an area visible fiom a public risht-of-way. residenUcustomer parkinq areL intemal
walkwav or pedestrian area- or from an adjacent prooerw. the service area must be
screened with the sfiuctual iuld landscaDing screenins measures Drovided in subsection
(C) below.
3. Service areas for multiple users or tenants must be coJocated or consolidated to the
extent practical.
4. Senrice areas must be sited for alley access ifavailable. Service elemerts accessible from
an alley are exernpt from the screenine requirements of this section.
5. Trash collection areas must include roofs or overhead weather protection and must meet
required stormwater standards. Drainaee must be desimed to meet applicable NPDES
standards.
6. Exterior loadine areas for commercial uses must not be located within 20 feet ofa
residentially zoned orooerty.
DEPARTURE: Exterior commercial loadine areas are exempt from this standard if the
reviewine authority finds such a restriction does not allow feasible development and
altemative desisr measures can successfullv mitisate pgtential neeative impacts. For
examole. areas and drives may be required to be separated from the residential lot bv a
masonrv wall at least eieht feet hish.
7. Other provisions of this section notwithstanding. service areas used by residents must be
located to avoid entrapment areas and other conditions where personal securitv is
ootentially a problern. Pedestrian-scaled liehtine or other measures may be needed to
enhance securitv.
8. Noise-oroduclng mechanical eouioment-such as fans. heat oumos-etc.must be located
and/or shielded to minimize sounds and reduce impacts to adi acent dwelling units.
L49
9. Dumpster storaee areas must be orovided for all development. located on site and not in
the oublic risht-of-wav. and sized to accommodate the minimum dumoster sizes (as
provided by the Port Aneeles ensineerine standards).
C. Screenins of ground-level service areas and mechanical equipment. Where screenins of
eround level service areas is required [see subsection (2Xb) of this sectionl. the followine
applies:
l. Structural enclosures must be constructed of masonry. healy-sause metal. heavy timber.
or other decay-resistant material that is also used with the architecture ofthe main
buildins. Altemative materials other than those used for the main buildine are permitted
if the finishes are similar in color and texture. or ifthe proposed enclosure materials are
more durable than those for the main structure. The walls must be sufficient to provide
full screenins from the affected roadway. pedestrian areas. or adjacent use. but must be
no greater than seven feet tall. The enclosure mav use overlaDDinq walls as a screenins
method. See Fieure 17.22.250(C) below.
2. Gates must be made of heaw-eause. sieht-obscurine material. Chain link or chain link
with slats is not an acceDtable material for enclosures or gates.
3. Where the interior of a service enclosures is yisible from surrounding streets. walkways.
or residential units. an opaque or serni-ooaoue horizontal cover or screen must be used to
mitisate unsightly views. The horizontal screen/cover should be intesrated into the
enclosure desien (in terms of materials and/or desim).
4. Trash collection ooints must be located and configured to the extent practical so that the
enclosure gate swinq does not obstruct pedestrian or vehicle vehicular traffic on a Dublic
risht ofwav. or does not rEuire that a hauline truck project into any public risht-of-way.
Screening elements must allow for efficient service deliverv and removal ooerations.
5. The service area must be oaved.
6. The sides and rear of service enclosures must be screened with Type B landscapine at
least five feet wide in locations visible from the street. parkins lots. and walkwavs to
soften views of the screenine element and add visual interest. Plants must be arranged
with a minimum of 50 percent coveraqe at time of installation and be able to srow to
fully screen or shield the equipment within three years.
DEPARTURES will be considered. provided the enclosure and landscapins treatment
meet the purpose of the standards and add visual interest to site users.

17,22.330 - Buildine details.
A. Purpose. This section contains standards that affect the human experience of architecture at
the sound level and the quality of windows. The purpose ofthis section is:
I . To encourase the incomoration of desim details and small-scale elements into buildine
facades that are attractive at a oedestrian scale.
2. To integrate window desisn that adds depth. richness. and visual interest to the facade.
3. To create clear and welcoming buildine entries.
B. Applicabilitv. This section applies onlv in the CBD zone.
C. Facade details - nonresidential and mixed-use buildinss. The qround floor of commercial
and mixed-use buildines must be enhanced with appropriate details.
l This standard aoplies to buildine facades and buildine elevations facine parks and
containine primary buildine entrances.
2. All new buildines must ernoloy at least one detail elernent from each ofthe three
cateeories in subsection (D) for each facade articulation interval (see PAMC 17.22.330).
3. All additions associated with Level II and III improvernents (see PAMC 17.22.030) must
emolov at least one detail elernent from each of the three categories in subsection (D) for
each facade articulation interval (see PAMC 17.22.330).
For example. a buildine with 120 feet of street frontase with a facade articulated at 40 feet
intervals will need to meet the standards for each ofthe three facade segrnents below.
D. Facade detail catesories,
