Cited sections of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) can be found on the City of Edmonds website at wm(w.ediniondswa.p.ov. Although the eastern portion of the site is relatively level, the western side of the site slopes downward steeply to the shoreline of the Puget Sound. This slope exceeds 40% according to City LiDAR data. Due to the degree of the slope on and adjacent to the western side of the site, it was found that the site contains slopes that are steep enough to be considered both an Erosion Hazard Area (over 151 slope) and a Landslide Hazard Area (over 40% slope). Allowed Activities & Exerv-'ipt Pi"op(""),,"' C"'I I S 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. (:ieneral Report its Critical areas reports identify, classify and delineate areas onoradjacent tothe subject property that may qualify mscritical 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 mitigation plan. General mitigation requirements for all critical areas are described in ECDC23.40.l1Uthrough 2l4O.14O. Critical area reports are most commonly submitted when applying for a building permit or land use development application (although they can besubmitted atany time). The minimum requirements for all critical area reports are listed in ECDC 23.40.090.D. There are additional report requirements for different types of critical areas (see below). Note that itisimportant for the report tobeprepared byaqualified professional asdefinedinthe ordinance. There are options on how to complete a critical areas study and an approved list of consultants that you may choose from. Please contact the Planning Division for more information. �_ ° U� ^� � ��r��U�� :3 r�1 ��r,�� 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 tomeet 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. |nareas where the slope stability is not suitable, projects within Erosion Hazard Areas will require report by licensed geotechnical engineer orother qualified professional. Report requirements and development standards for alterations within erosion hazard areas are found inE[D[23.80.0SOthrough Z3.80.O7O. � �� U° ~� �� r��c�U�� Development is restricted but not prohibited within Landslide Hazard Areas and their associated buffers. There are standard required setbacks from landslide hazard areas (per ECDC 23.80.070 and ECDC 23.40.280); however, these setbacks may be reduced or eliminated with the submission and City approval of a geotechnical report produced byalicensed geotechnical engineer. Specific report requirements for landslide hazard areas and design criteria are found inECDC23.80.050through 2IO0.070. � ~ �° �� (""I � K� ° ~� ��r��U��U��" ��U�� U0U�~�� n o n o n n x�� o��o x ~ �� ~° � �� o u �� 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.
