The purposes of the RS — Single -
Family Residential zones are to In
reserve and regulate areas primarily
for family living in single-family W
dwellings and to provide for
additional non-residential uses >
which complement and are compatible City of Edmonds Zoning Map, December 2009
with single-family dwelling use. Per
ECDC 16.20.010, an ADU is an allowed secondary use with a conditional use permit. The proposal
is required to comply with the purposes of the single-family residential zone and the criteria in
ECDC 20.21. Based on the review of the specific ADU criteria (as described in Section C of this
report), staff feels that, with conditions, the proposal is in compliance with the purposes of the single-
family zone.

C. COMPLIANCE WITH ECDC CHAPTER 20.21
Section 20.21.030 of the Edmonds Community Development Code provides the criteria describing
how an accessory dwelling unit is to be reviewed. In order for the permit to be approved, all of the
criteria must be met. The criteria for approval are: (1) Land Use Permit; (2) Number of Units; (3)
Size; (4) Location and Appearance; (5) Parking; (6) Occupancy; and (7) Safety, Light, Ventilation,
Floor Area, and Similar Factors. The ADU criteria were established to ensure that accessory
dwelling units would comply with Chapter 16.20.
1. Land Use Permit Required
Per ECDC 20.21.030.A, a land use
permit is required for approval of an
accessory dwelling unit. An
application for an administrative
conditional use permit was submitted
to the City on May 27, 2011
(Attachment 1). The application was
determined to be complete, but
additional clarification was requestec
on June 15, 2011 (Attachment 8). Tl
requested information was received c
August 1, 2011 (Attachment 5).
2. Number of Units
The proposal will result in only one
(1) ADU. This is in compliance with
the number of units allowed per
ECDC 20.21.030.B.
3. Size
According to ECDC 20.21.030.C:
"Size. In no case shall an accessory dwelling unit be (1) larger than 40 percent of the
livable floor area of the principal dwelling, (2) nor more than 800 square feet, (3) nor
have more than two bedrooms; provided, if the accessory dwelling unit is completely
located on a single floor, the planning manager may allow increased size up to 50
percent of the floor area of the principal dwelling in order to efficiently use all floor
area, so long as all other standards set forth in this chapter are met."
The applicant has indicated that the ADU will be located within a portion of the existing garage
and will total 457 square feet (Attachment 2). The Snohomish County Assessor identifies the
existing residence as being 1,434 square feet. Consequently, the proposed ADU would comprise
31.9% of the total livable floor area of the primary dwelling. Because the proposed unit satisfies
the area requirement and only one bedroom will be created (Attachment 3), the ADU satisfies the
size requirement.
4. Location and Appearance
According to Chapter 20.21.030.13 of the Edmonds Community Development Code:
The single-family appearance and character of the residence shall be maintained when
viewed from the surrounding neighborhood. The design of the accessory dwelling unit
Axelson ADU
File No. PLN-2011-0025
Page 3 of 4
shall be incorporated into the design of the principal dwelling unit and shall be designed
to maintain the architectural design, style, appearance, and character of the main
building as a single-family residence using matching materials, colors, window style,
and roof design. The primary entrance to the accessory dwelling unit shall be located in
such a manner as to be unobtrusive when viewed from the street. Whenever possible,
new entrances should be placed at the side or rear of the building. Only one electric and
one water meter shall be allowed for the entire building, serving both the primary
residence and the accessory dwelling unit. Accessory dwelling units must be located
within or attached to single-family dwelling units.
The existing house and garage sit on a residentially -landscaped parcel. Because the ADU will be
established within a portion of the existing garage, only minor exterior changes are proposed to
the east fagade of the garage including the addition of an entry door and a small window
(Attachments 2 — 5). The entrance to the ADU will be accessed via a new walkway from the
driveway. The ADU must share the electric and water meters of the existing house.
5. Parking
ECDC 20.21.030.E states that an accessory dwelling unit requires one (1) off-street parking
space in addition to the parking spaces normally required for the principal dwelling. As a result,
a total of three parking spaces are required for this proposal. According to the site plan
submitted (Attachments 4 & 5), there is sufficient space on the site to park at least one vehicle in
addition to the two -car garage associated with the existing residence.
6. Occupancy
ECDC 20.21.030.F states the homeowner must provide an affidavit attesting to his/her
occupancy of one of the units for a minimum of six months of each calendar year as a condition
of approval. The applicant submitted the affidavit (Attachment 6). The applicant must also file
the required Covenant with the County Auditor.
7. Safety, Light, Ventilation, Floor Area, and Similar Factors
ECDC 20.21.030.G states that as a condition of approval, the applicant is required to apply for a
Compliance Permit and inspection by a City Building Inspector to ensure that the accessory
dwelling unit meets the requirements of all life -safety codes and standards.
D. TECHNICAL REVIEW
The Engineering and Building Divisions, the Departments of Public Works and Parks and
Recreation, and Fire District #1 have reviewed the application. The Building Division (Attachment
7) noted that a building permit is required for the conversion. Fire indicated that smoke detectors
are required for the sleeping area of the unit which must be interconnected and have battery back-up.
IMaOu"_1 CIMi
Based on statements of Fact, Conclusions, and Attachments in this report, the application for a
Conditional Use Permit for an accessory dwelling unit at 560 Hemlock Way is GRANTED, subject
to the following conditions:
1. The Accessory Dwelling Unit Covenant must be filed with the Snohomish County Auditor prior
to occupancy of the accessory dwelling unit. A copy of the auditor -endorsed document must

Page 4 of 4
2. A building permit for the conversion must be obtained from the Building Division, final
inspection completed, and occupancy approval granted by the Building Official prior to use of
the accessory dwelling unit. Specific comments from the Building Division as well as the Fire
District must be addressed during review of the building permit.
3. This permit shall expire automatically if any of the following issues arise:
a. The ADU is substantially altered and is thus no longer in conformance with the plans and
drawings reviewed and approved by the Planning Division and Building Official.
b. The subject site ceases to maintain the required number of parking spaces.
c. The property owner ceases to reside in either the primary residence or the ADU, the owner -
occupied unit is rented, or the current (or future) owner fails to file the affidavit required
under ECDC 20.21.025.A.1.
4. The Accessory Dwelling Unit permit shall not be transferable to any site other than the subject
site described in the application. The permit is transferable to new owners of the subject
property unless there is a violation of any conditions of approval listed above; however, the new
owners must file a new notarized Accessory Dwelling Unit Affidavit with the City of Edmonds
Planning Division.

RE: COMPLETE APPLICATION (CLARIFICATION REQUESTED) — ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT AT 560
HEMLOCK WAY (PLN-2011-0025)
Dear Ms. Axelson,
On behalf of the City of Edmonds Planning Division, I have reviewed your application for an accessory
dwelling unit for completeness pursuant to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 20.02.002
and 20.21.025. While technically complete, I would ask that you clarify the following information:
1. Site plan. Please submit one 11" x 17" (maximum size) site plan, scaled at 1"-20', showing.
the house, driveway, other structures on the site, and on -site parking spaces. All access to
both the single family residence and the ADU must be shown. If a walkway will constructed
to provide pedestrian access to the ADU from the driveway, please show that as well.
2. Parking spaces. As mentioned above, please include on the site plan the dimensions of
driveway and the parking spots being called out for the driveway. Keep in mind that each
parking space must be a minimum of 8.5' by 16.5'. For the ADU itself, only one additional
space is needed over and above the two that are required for the main residence.
3. Building elevations. Since a new window and door are proposed for the east side of the
structure for ADU access behind the garage, please submit building elevation drawings for

Because your application is complete, however, we can move forward with the public notification
process. The City will issue a Notice of Application and Public Comment pursuant to ECDC 20.03.002 and
request comments from those on the Adjacent Property Owner (APO) list you provided with your
application. The Notice will also be published in the Everett Herald and posted at the Edmonds Public
Library and Public Safety Building. I will make a site visit and install a small blue project notification sign
at your site as well. Comments will be accepted for fourteen days from the date the Notice is published
(notice will likely be given next week). Once the comment period closes, I should be able to issue a
decision fairly soon thereafter unless something unanticipated arises or if I have not received your
response to this request for information. After I issue the decision and assuming the appeal period
expires without appeal, I would ask that you then please return the blue sign here to our office of the
second floor of City Hall.
Please keep in mind that a complete response to this information request must be received within 90
days or the application will lapse for lack of information (ECDC 20.02.003.D).
