CRITICAL AREAS DETERMINATION
Site Location: 9317 Olympic View Drive Tax Acct. Number: 1327 031 024 00
Determination: Study Required Determination #: CA-03-17
Owner / Applicant: Elizabeth Davis
CRITICAL AREAS DETERMINATION: STUDY REQUIRED (CA-03-17)
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site may be
adjacent to a critical area in the form of a Steep Slope Hazard Area pursuant to Chapter
20.15B of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC). The area of concern
is the cliff to the west of your home.
STUDY REQUIREMENT — STEEP SLOPE HAZARD AREA
A steep slope hazard areas is defined by the Edmonds Community Development Code
as ground that rises at an inclination of 40% or greater within at least 20 feet of
elevation change. The inclination of the slope is established by locating the top and the
toe averaging the inclination of the slope over at least 20 feet of vertical relief.
Prior to submission of any development permit, you will be required satisfy the
requirements of the Critical Areas Chapter by completing the following Steep Slope
Hazard Area Delineation Requirements:
A topographic survey must be completed that delineates any Steep Slope Hazard
Areas prepared by a Licensed Land Surveyor. (In your case, this means a showing the
edge of the top of the cliff on a survey of your property and having the survey indicate
the cliff. However, if you don't feel that the cliff qualifies as a Steep Slope Hazard Area,
the survey may show that this area does not meet the definition above.)
• A steep slope hazard area is bordered by a 50 foot wide buffer measured from both
the top and the toe of the steep slope hazard area. Adjacent to the buffer, there is a
15 feet wide building setback.]
• In order to complete this Study Requirement, this map must be submitted to the
Planning Division for review and approval.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS ON A SITE WITH STEEP SLOPE HAZARD AREAS
Development is restricted within the Steep Slope Hazard Area, its buffer, and/or
building setback. If development must occur within these areas, the applicant may
pursue certain processes provided in the Critical Areas Chapter of the Edmonds
Community Development Code. The applicable process depends on the specific
development proposal and site but may include one of the following:
o For development proposals within 65-feet (50-foot buffer plus 15-foot
building setback), but no closer than 25 feet (10-foot buffer plus a 15-foot
building setback) from the top or toe of the slope, the 50-foot buffer
requirement may be reduced to 10 feet if a study is completed by a
licensed geologist or geotechnical engineer which clearly demonstrates
that the proposed buffer alteration will have no adverse impact upon the
site, the public or any private party.
This is a process through which development could be allowed as close
as 25' from the top or toe of the slope (the 15-foot building setback always
applies no matter how much the buffer is reduced).
o Development proposals closer than 25' from the top or toe of the slope
may be allowed through the approval of a Steep Slope Exemption, Critical
Areas Variance, or Reasonable Use Exception. These are Land Use
Permits that must be obtained through the Planning Division. If you think
your specific development proposal may require one of these processes,
contact a Planner for more information.
PROJECT SPECIFIC CONDITIONAL WAIVERS
If the property owner wishes to apply for a specific development permit which they feel
would not impact the Critical Areas located on the site, they may submit their proposal
to the Planning Department for review. If the Planning Department finds that the
proposed development permit will not adversely impact a Critical Area or its buffers, a
conditional waiver may be issued on a project by project basis.
EXEMPT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
Certain development proposals may be exempt from Critical Areas Requirements
(ECDC 20.1513.040). If you think that a specific development proposal may be exempt,
contact a Planner for more information.
