PROPERTY LOCATION 7512 221 Place SW and 22020 Highway 99
PROJECT DESCRIPTION Remove common property line between parcels addressed as 7512
st
221 Place SW and 22020 Highway 99.
A. INTRODUCTION
st
The applicant is proposing to remove a common property line between 7512 221 Place SW
(00593900000300) and 22020 Highway 99 (2704900303900). Both parcels are owned by
st
Nelson Motor and are zoned CG-2. The parcel at 7512 221 Place SW is currently vacant but
is proposed to be redeveloped into a parking lot for the Lynnwood Honda facility at 22020
Highway 99.
B. ANALYSIS OF DESIGN:
1. Number of Lots Involved: Prior to Lot Line Combination - 2; Post Combination - 1
2. Lot Area: NA
3. Topographical Consideration: There is no particular topographical consideration
influencing the lot line combination.
4. Flag Lot Determination: The subject parcels are not considered flag lots.
5. Corner Lot Determination: The combined parcel will not be considered a corner lot.
6. Comprehensive Plan: The proposal appears to meet the intent of the Comprehensive
Plan.
7. Zoning Ordinance: According to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC)
Section 20.75.055.A, a lot combination is the combination of two or more legal, illegal,
or nonconforming lots into one or more lots, all of which comply with the provisions of
this code in effect at the time of said combination.
The current proposal meets the requirements of the zoning code. Both lots currently
conform to the underlying zoning and will do so upon combination into one lot.
8.Access: Current access of the individual parcels will not change with the proposed lot
combination.
C. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
1. SEPA Determination: A DNS was issued pursuant to a demolition permit for the
st
previous structure located at 7512 221 Place (BLD-2007-0797. No appeals were
received.

2. Shoreline Master Program: Exempt from Shoreline Master Program permits.
3. Critical Area Determination: A critical areas checklist (CRA-2007-0108) was
st
completed for the redevelopment of 7512 221 Place as part of the demolition permit
process. A study was required due to the presence of a possible erosion hazard on the
site. Study requirements will be addressed during building permit review for the parking
lot. A waiver from critical area report requirements was issued for 22020 Highway 99
(CRA-2004-0043).
D. REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS AND DEDICATIONS:
The Engineering Division and the Fire and Public Works Departments have reviewed the
application and are not requiring any improvements or dedications.

1.Include the lot combination file number LL-2007-0093 on the documents to be recorded.

TIME LIMITS FOR RECONSIDERATION AND APPEALS
The time limits for reconsiderations and appeals run concurrently. If a request for reconsideration
is filed before the time limit for filing an appeal has expired, the time clock for filing an appeal
is stopped until a decision on the reconsideration request is completed. Once the staff has issued
his/her decision on the reconsideration request, the time clock for filing an appeal continues from
the point it was stopped. For example, if a request is filed on day 5 of the appeal period, an
individual would have 9 more days in which to file an appeal after the staff issues their decision on
the reconsideration request.
