CRITICAL AREAS DETERMINATION: STUDY REQUIRED (CA-04-149)
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site may contain critical
areas, including a Steep Slope Hazard Area, pursuant to Chapter 20.156 of the Edmonds
Community Development Code (ECDC).
STUDY REQUIREMENT — STEEP SLOPE HAZARD AREA
To determine if a Steep Slope Hazard Area does exist, 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.
[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. In order to delineate a steep slope hazard area, it is necessary to
locate the top and toe of the slope. The inclination of the slope is established by
averaging the inclination over at least 20 feet of vertical relief. 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 the 50-foot buffer, but no closer than 10 feet
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 (assuming the buffer may be reduced to 10'— the 15'
building setback still applies).
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
20.156.040). If you think that a specific development proposal may be exempt, contact a
Planner for more information.
NEW REGULATIONS TO BE ADOPTED SOON
The City Council has approved a new critical areas ordinance, that will be effective some time
after January 1, 2005. The new regulations will require a slightly different critical areas study
for your site. Please review these new regulations at our website, www.ci.edmonds.wa.us.
