Subject: Letter of Completeness for Sunset Landing Contract Rezone, R-2009-0042
Dear Mr. Spence:
GARY HAAKENSON
MAYOR
The City of Edmonds ("City") has reviewed the application for a contract rezone for the property at 190
Sunset Avenue South for completeness pursuant to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC)
20.02.002, and has determined that the application meets the procedural submission requirements of said
ECDC section and therefore is complete. Please accept this letter as the City's notice to applicant of
determination of completeness pursuant to ECDC 20.02.003. Note, however, that although the
application is sufficient for continued processing, additional information will be required. This
determination of completeness does not preclude the staff from requesting additional information or
studies during the evaluation of the application, including but not limited to SEPA threshold
determination, which must be made prior to beginning review before the City's Planning Board.
As noted above, while the application is complete, additional information is needed to further evaluate the
proposed contract rezone. The proposed zones for this contract rezone, General Commercial (CG and
CG2), allow uses which in staffs opinion may not be appropriate for the downtown area. If the applicant
intends to propose limitations on use as part of the instant contract rezone, please provide them to us at
this time. Otherwise, confirm that the no limitation on use is being proposed.
Finally, as a courtesy message from staff to applicant, please note that the next requirement for the
applicant is the notice of application. Pursuant to ECDC 20.03.001(A), the applicant is responsible for
meeting the public notification requirements. The notice of application must be posted on the site, mailed
to property owners within 300 feet, and published in the paper of record (the Everett Herald) by August
28, 2009.
I look forward to working with you on this project and please give me a call or email me if .you have any
questions, 425-771-0220.
