Staff Decision for BLD20151455 (Carport)
Project Proposal
Construct a 1,560 square foot carport on the north side of an existing building currently
occupied by Factory Direct Tires. The proposed carport will provide covering for existing
parking spaces used for tire repair and replacement.
Figure 1: View of the north side of the existing Factory Direct Tires warehouse. The proposed
carport will be located between the middle garage door and the garage door on the far right in
the photo below.

Design Review Process
As part of the City's review of the building permit referenced above, design review is required
pursuant to ECDC 20.10. The project is located in the General Commercial "CG" zone and is
therefore subject to district -based design review applying the design standards found in ECDC
16.60.030 and the policies contained in the specific section of the Comprehensive Plan
addressing the Highway 99 Corridor. Since the carport is less than 60 feet in height, design will
be conducted by staff as a Type I decision.
Findings & Conclusions
1. Scope. According to ECDC 20.10.020, design review is intended to apply to all development
including any improvement to real property open to exterior view, including but not limited
to buildings, structures, fixtures, landscaping, site screening, signs, and parking lots. Since
the carport is proposed on an existing developed site, design review is focused on site
design and layout.
2. Environment. The project is exempt from review under the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(3) because the carport is less than 4,000 square feet in
size.
3. ECDC 16.60 CG Zone Compliance.
Site Development Standards (ECDC 16.60.020). There is a required 4' landscaped street
setback area along 76th Avenue West. The carport will be located on the north side of
the existing warehouse building on the property, towards the east end of the site. This
location meets the required setbacks. The maximum allowed height is 60'; the carport
is approximately 16' tall.
b. Design Standards (ECDC 16.60.030). The carport is a basic structure, with several
supporting columns and a roof (Attachment 1). The carport will be located on the north
side of the existing warehouse building, located on the east side of the property. There
is an office building located between the proposed carport location and the adjacent
street, 76th Avenue (Attachment 2). The existing office building provides sufficient
screening of the carport from the street.
4. Comprehensive Plan. The site is within the "Highway 99 Corridor" in the City's
comprehensive plan and associated land use map. The proposed project shows an effort
towards the following Comprehensive Plan policy for the Highway 99 Corridor:
Page 2 of 3
C.2 New development should be allowed and encouraged to develop to the
fullest extent possible while assuring that the design quality and amenities
provided contribute to the overall character and quality of the corridor.
Where intense development adjoins residential areas, site design (including
buffers, landscaping, and the arrangement of uses) and building design
should be used to minimize adverse impacts on residentially -zoned
properties
The proposed project is consistent with the above policy of the comprehensive plan. The
proposed carport will contribute to the on-going needs of the existing tire company while
its location is tucked behind an office building, away from the adjacent street and not visible
from Highway 99.
Decision
Staff finds that the proposal is consistent with site development standards and design criteria in
ECDC 16.60 and in the Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, the design of the carport in permit
BLD20151455 is APPROVED.
I have reviewed the application for compliance with the Edmonds Community Development
Code.

Appeals
December 8, 2015
Date
Design review decisions by staff are only appealable to the extent that the applicable building
permit or development approval is an appealable decision under the provisions of the ECDC.
Design review by staff is not in itself an appealable decision.
