During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site may contain or be
adjacent to critical areas, including Geologically Hazardous Areas, pursuant to Chapters 23.40
and 23.80 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC).
Cited sections of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) can be found at:
http://www.codepublishing.com/wa/edmonds/.
The associated LiDAR map indicates that the parcel slopes gradually from the east to the west
at approximately 25%. Soils underlying the parcel are identified as Alderwood Urban land
complex (8% - 15% slope). As a result, the areas of the parcel with slopes in excess of 15% are
considered to be erosion hazard areas.
StudyRequired

This review 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 when you have a specific development proposal
for this site in order to discuss the various permits that will be required.
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). However, it is more likely that an alteration to a critical area or buffer will
require some form of City review and approval. According to ECDC 23.40.320:
"Alteration" means any human -induced action which changes the existing conditions of
a critical area or its buffer. Alterations include, but are not limited to: grading, grading;
filling; dredging, draining; channelizing; cutting, pruning, limbing or topping, clearing,
relocating or removing vegetation; applying herbicides or pesticides or any hazardous or
toxic substance; discharging pollutants; paving, construction, application of gravel;
modifying for surface water management purposes; or any other human activity that
changes the existing landforms, vegetation, hydrology, wildlife or wildlife habitat value
of critical areas.
If you have any questions about whether your proposed development qualifies as an
allowed or exempt activity, please contact the Planning Division.
Unless otherwise provided, buildings and other structures must be set back a distance of 15
feet from the edges of all critical area buffers or from the edges of all critical areas, if no buffers
are required. The following may be allowed in the building setback area: 1) landscaping; 2)
uncovered decks; 2) building overhangs, if such overhangs do not extend more than 30 inches
into the setback area; and 4) impervious ground surfaces, such as driveways and patios;
provided, that such improvements may be subject to water quality regulations as adopted in
the current editions of the International Residential Code and International Building Code, as
adopted in ECDC Title 19.
Critical areas reports identify, classify and delineate 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 specific development proposals. If a specific development
proposal results in an alteration to a critical area, the critical areas report must contain a
Page 12
mitigation plan. General mitigation requirements for all critical areas are described in ECDC
23.40. 110 through 23.40.140.
Critical area reports are most commonly submitted when applying for a building permit or land
use development application but they can be submitted at any time. The minimum
requirements for all critical area reports are listed in ECDC 23.40.090.D. There are additional
report requirements for specific 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.
Development is regulated within Erosion Hazard Areas and must meet specific criteria. For
erosion hazard areas with suitable slope stability, an erosion and sediment control plan
prepared in compliance ECDC 18.30 will be considered to 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 other qualified professional. Report requirements and development
standards for alterations within erosion hazard areas are found in ECDC 23.80.050 through
23.80.070.
