PLANNING DIVISION Critical Area Determination (CRA20160055) Based on a review and inspection of the subject site, staff has determined that one or more critical areas are located on or near the site. Critical areas are ecologically sensitive or hazardous areas that are protected in order to maintain their functions and values. Site Location 103 & 107 Edmonds Street Tax Account Number 27032300101400 Property Owner Gilbert Applicant Gilbert Critical Area(s) Present Q Geologically Hazardous Areas (ECDC 23.80) Q Seismic Hazard Area Site Description The subject parcel is essentially flat with no streams or wetlands but the associated map shows a potential seismic hazard area along Sunset Avenue that includes the western one-quarter of the subject site. A possible landslide hazard area exists west of Sunset Avenue adjacent to the railroad tracks, which is more than 50 feet from the site. What do I need to do right now? The critical area regulations are only triggered when an alteration is proposed to a critical area or its buffer. However, once an alteration in or near critical area is proposed, critical area studies and City review and approval may be required. What is an `Alteration'? According to Section 23.40.005 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC): "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, 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. Unpermitted alteration of a critical area or buffer (including tree trimming or topping, dumping yard waste, or application of pesticides or fertilizers) can lead to enforcement action and fines. Before undertaking any work, please contact the City to verify whether critical area studies and City review and approval is necessary.
