Critical areas are ecologically sensitive or hazardous areas that are protected in order to maintain their functions and values. Site Location 23122100th Ave. W Tax Account Number 00610700201302 Property Owner So Applicant Houston Critical Area(s) Present ❑ Wetlands (ECDC 23.50) ❑ Frequently Flooded Areas (ECDC 23.70) ® Geologically Hazardous Areas (ECDC 23.80) ❑ Erosion Hazard Areas ® Landslide Hazard Areas ❑ Seismic Hazard Areas ❑ Fish & Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas (ECDC 23.90) ❑ Streams Site Description The eastern half of the subject site where the existing structures are located is basically level while the western half slopes up to the west at a grade in excess of 50%. Underlying soils on the eastern half are Everett gravelly sand loam (0%-8% slope); the western slope is Alderwood- Everett gravelly sand loams (25%-70% slope). Given the soils and grade of the western slope, this area is considered to be a possible landslide hazard area. What does this mean? 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.
