RE:Planning Division comments for file »O’Brien Tenant Improvement
Greetings,
tenant improvement51 West Dayton
Thank you for submitting a building permit application for a at
Street #101CW
in thezone. I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning
Division and it was found that the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be
addressed before the Planning Division review can continue.
1.Land Use:
This site is located within the Commercial Waterfront “CW” zone and subject to the land
use regulations in ECDC 16.55 which requires that the ground floor be marine-oriented services or
retail uses. Please provide the previous use (business) for these tenant spaces. I’d like to try to see if
we can determine that this is an existing nonconforming use,but I need additional information.
ECDC 17.40.010 describes nonconforming uses and says that if legally established, they may be
continued but not expanded in any way. Also, if the nonconforming use ceases for aperiod of 6
continuous months, then all new usesneed to comply with the current zoning regulations. Your
landlord may have informationon theprevious tenants that filled these spaces, and not finding any
data in our database, I’ll need that information in order to make a determinationfor you.
:
Please submit a written response to the above, along with any revised plansto your Permit Coordinator
. All code citations can be found at:www.EdmondsWA.gov.If you have any
Linda Thornquist
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to working with you on this project.
