Site Description
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 (Erosion Hazard Areas and Landslide Hazard 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 on the City of Edmonds website at
www.edmondswa.eov.
Your property is located on a hillside with a western facing slope. This slope varies between areas near level,
around the house, to areas on your property where the slope exceeds 40% according to City LiDAR data. Due
to the degree of the slope on and adjacent to the your property, it was found that the site contains slopes
that are steep enough to be considered both an Erosion Hazard Area (over 15% slope) and a Landslide Hazard
Area (over 40% slope). Your property also includes the Alderwood and Alderwood-Everett USDA soil series
types. Both of these soil series types are listed in section 23.80.020 ECDC which identifies soil series that
have characteristics leading to possible severe to very severe erosion occurrences.
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 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 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 (although 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 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. Please contact the Planning Division for more information.
Erosion Hazard Areas
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.
Landslide Hazard Areas
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 23.90.070 and ECDC 23.40.280); however,
these setbacks may be reduced or eliminated with the submission and City approval of a geotechnical report
produced by a licensed geotechnical engineer. Specific report requirements for landslide hazard areas and design
criteria are found in ECDC 23.80.050 through 23.80.070.

Determination: Study Required
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 if and when you have a specific development proposal for this site in order to discuss the various
permits that will be required. /
