PLANNEDRESIDENTIALDEVELOPMENTREQUIREMENTS:
Proposals must meet criteria for establishing alternative development standards in ECDC 20.35.040,
which require providing greater buffering, preserving unique features, reducing impervious surfaces,
and achieving other goals in exchange for the flexibility of the PRD.
Decision criteria for PRDs are found in ECDC 20.35.050 and require a clear benefit for the public.
The project must meet design guidelines and provide additional benefits, which could include better
design, improved circulation patterns, minimized impervious surfaces, increased open space or
recreational facilities, or preservation of significant natural features.
Perimeter design must meet ECDC 20.35.050.C.
Usable open space and recreation facilities shall be provided per ECDC 20.35.050.D. Note that 10
percent of the gross lot area is required to be “usable open space.”
Design must follow the guidelines in ECDC 20.35.060.
Applications must include the items in ECDC 20.35.070.
The review process shall be as outlined in ECDC 20.35.080 and 20.35.090.

IGNS

C:
OMMENTS
1. For PRD process and criteria, please see Edmonds Community Development Code Chapter 20.35.
2. Along with the PRD, a formal subdivision will be required.
3. If you intend to have a lot coverage of other than 35 percent, you will need to specify this as part of
the PRD.
4. The proposal may have a difficult time meeting the PRD requirements for the following reasons:
a. Open Space – It is not clear what unique features are being protected, or to what use the open
space is to be put.
b. Ten percent of the gross lot area must be in “usable open space”.
c. How does this proposal reduce impervious surfaces?
