Dear Jeff:
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division, and it was found that the
following information, corrections, or clarifications need to be addressed before review can continue:
1.
Freestanding Signs: Permanent freestanding signs are discouraged pursuant to Edmonds Community
Development Code (ECDC) 20.60.045(A). Please provide evidence that no reasonable alternative exists.
ECDC 20.60.045. A. Regulation. Permanent freestanding signs are discouraged. Freestanding signs shall be approved
only where the applicant demonstrates by substantial evidence that there are no reasonable and feasible alternative signage
methods to provide for adequate identification and/or advertisement.
2.
Sign Location: Freestanding signs shall be located as close as possible to the center of the street
frontage on which they are located pursuant to ECDC 20.60.045(E). The proposed locations of the signs
create sight-distance impediments for drivers exiting the parking area and pedestrians.
Additionally, freestanding signs may not be located within the setbacks. Current proposal is to locate the
signs within 1-foot of the property line. The street setback for the CG2-zone is 4-feet.
Please make adjustments accordingly.
Please Note: Additional comments from the Building Division and Engineering Division may
require additional changes to the site plan and landscape plan beyond those discussed above. A
revised site plan and landscape plan addressing the above cited issues should be completed once
you have received comments from the other reviewing divisions.
Please submit three copies of your revised site plan (including one reduced copy) and two copies of any
revised building plan sheets to a Development Services Permit Coordinator. Our office hours are Mondays,
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays between 8:00 am 4:30 pm, and Wednesdays 8:30 am to noon.
If you have questions, feel free to contact me at (425)771-0220 ext. 1367 or brad.shipley@edmondswa.gov.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department – Planning Division
