Administrative Design Review
Dayton Place Parking Lot Landscaping Updates
4. Chapter 20.13 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) provides for
various types of landscape buffering depending on the context of the site. Type III
landscaping would be appropriate for the northern landscape buffer since the
adjacent parcel to the north is similarly zoned and the landscaping is screening a
parking lot.
5. A replacement hedge of Prunus lusitanica is proposed for the area of the removed
shore pines which meets the requirements for Type III landscaping in ECDC
20.13.030.C.3.
