Case: # COD2019-0143Subject property: 1102 B Ave., Edmonds, WA. 98020
Dear Mr. Gardner,
The City has received a complaint regarding a separate dwelling unit developed at the subject property.
One (1) Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a permitted secondary use in single family zones but does require a conditional use permit and any associated construction permits. The City
does not have a permit for an ADU on file for this site. Please note that one of the requirements for an ADU is that the property owner lives at the property. In the case of a preexisting
ADU, the following code requirements apply:
20.21.050 Preexisting accessory dwelling units.
That portion of a single-family residence which meets the definition of accessory dwelling unit which was in existence prior to February 1, 2000, may continue in existence provided the
following requirements are met:
A. An application for an accessory dwelling unit which meets the appropriate criteria contained in ECDC 20.21.030 is submitted within one year of February 1, 2000. The planning manager
may waive the size limitations contained in ECDC 20.21.030 if he or she finds that the reduction of floor area required to bring the preexisting unit into compliance is impractical
to achieve.
B. The unit complies with the minimum requirements of the Uniform Housing Code. [Ord. 3294 § 1, 2000].
Corrective actions required:
Please contact the City of Edmonds Development Service Department and submit a complete application by November 22, 2019.
If you want to discuss ADUs with a planner, please contact the “planner on duty” on the second floor of City Hall or at 425-771-0220. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance.
Sincerely,
