Geologically hazardous areas include areas susceptible to erosion, land sliding, earthquake, or other geological events. They pose a threat to the health and safety of citizens when incompatible development is sited in areas of significant hazard. Such incompatible development may not only place itself at risk, but also may increase the hazard to surrounding development and use. Cited sections of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) can be found on the City of Edmonds website at www.ci.edmonds.wa.us. The associated LiDAR map indicates the subject parcel slopes down from west to east. Immediately east of 751h Place, the parcel quickly drops down with slopes ranging between 20%-35% and then levels off in the middle and eastern portions of the parcel. Soils on the property are identified as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam series, which classifies the site as a potential erosion hazard. Projects proposed further than 65' from the top or toe of the slope (50' buffer + 15' setback from the critical area) may not require a geotechnical report to address critical areas issues (of course, other departments may require a report to address their codes). Allowed Activities & Exempt Proposals Certain activities are allowed in or near critical area buffers as specified in ECDC 23.40.220. Similarly, certain development proposals may be exempt from Critical Areas requirements (ECDC 23.40.230). If you have any questions about whether your proposed development qualifies as an allowed or exempt activity, please contact a Planner for more information. General Report Requirements Critical Areas Reports identify, classify and delineate any areas on or adjacent to the subject property that may qualify as critical areas. They also assess these areas and identify any potential impacts resulting from your specific development proposal. If a specific development proposal results in an alteration to a critical area the critical areas report will also contain a mitigation plan. You have the option of completing the portion of the study that classifies and delineates the critical areas and waiting until you have a specific development proposal to complete the study. You may also choose submit the entire study with your specific development application. Please review the minimum report requirements for all types of Critical Areas which are listed in ECDC 23.40.090.D. There are additional report requirements for different types of critical areas (see below). Note that it is important for the report to' be prepared by a qualified professional as defined in the ordinance. There are options on how to complete a critical areas study and an approved list of consultants that you may choose from. You may contact the Planning Division for more information. General Mitigation Requirements for all Critical Areas are discussed in ECDC 23.40.110 through 23.40.140. Erosion Hazard Areas Erosion Hazard areas include Alderwood and Everett series soils on slopes of 15 percent or greater, among others. In addition to the general requirements for Critical Areas reports referenced above, specific Critical Area report requirements for Erosion Hazard Areas (which are one of the Geologically Hazardous Areas) are provided in ECDC 23.80.050. Development is restricted within an Erosion Hazard Area and must meet additional criteria. For erosion hazard areas with suitable slope stability, an erosion and sediment control plan prepared in compliance ECDC 18.30 may meet the Critical Areas "Study Required" determination. The determination of "suitable slope stability" will be made by both the Planning and Engineering divisions of the City of Edmonds. In areas where the slope stability is not suitable, projects within Erosion Hazard Areas will require a report by a licensed Geotechnical Engineer or similar qualified professional. Note that it is important for the report to be prepared by a qualified professional as defined in the ordinance. Report requirements are given in ECDC 23.80.050, and more generally in ECDC 23.40.090.D. Development standards are given in ECDC 23.80.060 and 23.80.070. Determination: Study Required This determination applies to the entire subject parcel. Depending on the location and project proposed relative to the identified critical areas, certain studies and reports may be required. Please contact the Planning Division at 425.771.0220 if and when you have a specific development proposal for this site in order to discuss the various permits that will be required.
