Case: # COD2019-0147 – No Business Licenseor Home Occupation Permit
Subject property: 345 12th Place N., Edmonds, WA. 98020
Dear Mr. Rivarola,
The City received a complaint regarding a Hostel operating at the subject property noted above. Under Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 16.20.010.B.2, home occupations may be
a permitted use in residential zones but do require a business license and home occupation permit. There are several criteria that must be met to obtain an administrative home occupation
permit. If a home occupation proposal doesn’t meet one or more of the criteria the property owner may apply for a conditional use permit. There is no guarantee a conditional use permit
will be granted if an application is submitted.
The ECDC regulates commercial businesses in residential zones as follows:
ECDC 20.20 – Home Occupation permit, possible conditional use permit.
Edmonds City Code 3.20.030 – Business License required.
Please contact the City of Edmonds Business License Dept. 425-771-2525 by November 27, 2019. If you intend to run a business at this address the following corrective actions are necessary:
Make a complete application for a home occupation permit by December 2, 2019.
Make a complete application for a business license by December 2, 2019.
Please call if you have any questions or need any information. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance.
Sincerely,
Dan Gooding
