PLN20140023_StaffReportwithAttachments(r).pdfCITY OF EDMONDS 121 5'h Avenue North, Edmonds WA 98020 Phone: 425.771.0220 - Fax: 425.771.0221 - Web: www.edmondswa.gov DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT - PLANNING DIVISION /Ic. 189v Project: Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Permit File Number: PLN20140023 Date of Report: S ptember 24, 201 '0 Reviewed I3y: Kkernen Lien Senior Planner Owner/Applicant: Linda I-larter A. INTRODUCTION The applicant is proposing to add an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) onto the west side of an existing single-family residence located at 9630 — 238'b Street SW (Attachments 1 — 2). Approval of an ADU requires compliance with Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Chapters 16.20 and 20.21. Pursuant to ECC 20.01, an ADU is'a Type II decision requiring public notice. B. COMPLIANCE WITH ECDC CHAPTER 16.20 The subject site is located within the RS-8 Single -Family Residential zone (Attachment 3). The purposes of the RS — Single -Family Residential zones are to reserve and regulate areas primarily for family living in single-family dwellings and to provide for additional non-residential uses which complement and are compatible with single-family dwelling use. Pursuant to ECDC 16.20.010.D, an Accessory Dwelling Unit is anal lowed 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 outlined in Chapter 20.21. Based on staffs review of the specific ADU criteria (as described in Section C of this report), staff finds that 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 by which Accessory Dwelling Units are to be reviewed. In order for the permit to be approved, all of the criteria must be met. The criteria for approval are as follows: (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 crafted to ensure that ADUs would comply with Chapter 16.20 of the Edmonds Community Development Code. Detailed findings of staffs review of each criteria follows: 1. Land Use Permit Required Permit Required Any person who occupies or permits another person to occupy an attached accessory dtvelling unit as a place of residence shall firs! obtain a permit. The permit shall be reviewed and processed as a Type 11 decision (Staff decision — Notice required). An application for a land use permit was submitted to the City on June 19, 2014(Attachment 1). The application was determined to be complete on July 16, 2014 (Attachment 4). In accordance with ECDC 20.03, a Notice of Application dated July 24, 2014 with a comment period ending on August 7, 2014 was mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject site based on the adjacent property owners' list submitted by the applicant, posted on the site and at the Public Safety Complex, Development Services Department, and Library on July 23, 2014. The notice of application was also published in the Herald Newspaper on July 24, 2014. Attachment 6 documents compliance with the public notice requirements of ECDC 20.03. 2. Number of Units Number of Units. A single family divelling may have no more than one accessory dwelling writ per lot. The proposal will result in only one ADU and therefore is in compliance with the number of units allowed per ECDC 20.21.030.B. 3. Size 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 or der to efficiently use all floor area, so long as all other standards set forth in this chapter ar-e met. The existing primary residence has 2,103 square feet of livable floor area (2,119 after the ADU addition) while the ADU is proposed to consist of 796 square feet. Consequently, the proposed ADU would comprise 37% of the total livable floor area of the primary dwelling. The following table describes both the maximum size that Accessory Dwelling Units are allowed to be as well as the proposed size for this application: Maximum Allowed Proposed 40% of livable area of the primary dwelling 37% of livable area of the primary dwelling 2 bedrooms I bedroom 800 square feet 796 square feet Since the applicant is requesting approval of an ADU that is less than 40% of the livable area of the residence, less than two bedrooms, and no more than the maximum allowable size of 800 square feet, staff has determined that the application meets the size criteria. 4. Location and Appearance 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 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 enhance to the accessory dwelling unit shall be located in such a manner as to be unobtrusive when viewed from the street. Whenever possible, new enb•ances 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, sewing both the primary residence and the accessory dwelling unit. Accessory dwelling units must be located within or• attached to single-family dwelling units. Harter Accessory Dwelling Unit File No. PLN20140023 Page 2 of 5 The subject property slopes down from the existing residence to the west, as such, the ADU addition will sit lower than the existing residence. However, the proposed ADU will be constructed out of similar materials and designed in a manner so that the ADU is incorporated into the design of the principal dwelling. The principal dwelling faces north and fronts on 238"' Street SW. The ADU will be constructed on and attached to the west side of the principal dwelling. Both the new garage and ADU entrances will be on the west side of the addition and not directly face 238"' Street SW. The entrance to the ADU will largely be blocked by the garage being constructed with the ADU addition. While entry may be visible from the street from some vantage points, the entrance will be unobtrusive and not detract from the single-family appearance of the structure. Staff finds that the proposed ADU maintains the architectural design, style, appearance, and character of the main building and would not compromise the sign -family appearance of the residence; therefore, the subject application complies with the location and appearance criteria. 5. Parking Parking. One off-street par king space in addition to the parking spaces normally required for the principal dwelling shall be required to be provided for the accessory dwelling unit, but in no event less than three spaces per lot. The existing residence has an attached one -car garage and space for tandem parking in front of the garage. The ADU addition will include a two -car garage. There is sufficient space for three off street parking spaces; therefore, the application complies with ECDC 20.21.030.E. 6. Occupancy Occupancy. Either the primary dwelling or the accessory dwelling unit shall be owner -occupied. "Owner -occupied " shall mean a property owner who makes his or her legal residence at the site, as evidenced by voter registration, vehicle registration, or similar means, and actually resides at the site more than six months out of any given year, and at no time receives rent for the owner - occupied unit. The owner(s) shall not rent the designated owner -occupied unit at any time during the pendency of the ADUpermit, any such rental shall void the permit. The owners) shall not rent any portion of the owner -occupied residence either during the owner(s)' occupancy or while the owner is absent from the owner -occupied unit for any period. In no event shall the total number of occupants exceed one family as defined in this code, provided, however, that if the accessory dwelling unit is occupied by a nurse or other caregiver assisting a disabled person who is an occupant of the principal residence, or the principal residence is occupied by a nurse%aregiver and the accessory dwelling unit is occupied by a disabled person under the nwse's care, the occupancy limit of one family may be increased by one additional unrelated person to a total of one family related by genetics, adoption or marriage plus one unrelated person, or a total of six unrelated per sons. ha no event shall the total number of occupants exceed one family as defined in this code. The applicant has submitted a notarized affidavit to the City that meets this requirement (Attachment 5). The applicant must also file the Covenant required by ECDC 20.21.025.A.2 with the County Auditor following approval of the ADU. Harter Accessory D%velling Unit File No. PLN20140023 Page 3 of 5 Safety, Licht, Ventilation, Floor Area, and Similar Factors Safety, Light, Ventilation, Floor Area and Similar Factors. Accessory dwelling units shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Uniform Housing Code and the Uniform Building Code adopted by ECDC Title 19 and shall comply in all respects with the provisions of the Edmonds Community Development Code. No permit for an accessory dwelling unit shall be issued to a nonconforming sb•ucture unless that structure is brought into conformance with the then current provisions of this code. A condition of approval for this ADU has been added that requires compliance with the Building Division's inspection and compliance requirements. D. PUBLIC COMMENTS No public comment letters were received on the subject proposal. E. TECHNICAL REVIEW The application was reviewed by Fire District #1, the Building Division and the Engineering Division. Fire District #1 had no comments on the proposed ADU. Building noted the proposal will require a building permit and the ADU must meet all building division requirements for ADU's (Attachment 7). The Engineering Division provided the following comments (Attachment 8): 1. Plans indicate that improvements associated with the Accessory Dwelling Unit will create new impervious surface areas in excess of 2000 sq. ft. City code requires stormwater management (SWM) to be provided when impervious surface areas created after 1977 exceed 2000sf. The building permit submittal will need to address this requirement. The use of Low Impact Development Techniques is encouraged by the City wherever feasible. This could include rain gardens, pervious pavement, etc. Engineering Division staff would be happy to discuss this further with the applicant. 2. If the proposed retaining wall will support a surcharge, design and calculations submitted with the building permit will need to be prepared by a licensed engineer. F.

The City has determined that the application meets the procedural submission requirements 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. While the application is procedurally complete, additional information and clarifications are needed for continued review of the application. Please respond to the following so review of this application can proceed: 1. Elevation Views: Please include the entire residence (the primary residence as well as the proposed ADU) in the elevation views. 2. Appearance Criteria: The elevation view requested above is used to help evaluate the Location and Appearance criteria established in ECDC 20.21.030.1), which states: 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 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 primacy entrance to lire 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. Staff has a few concerns with regard to these criteria upon review of the application materials. The ADU addition must occur in a way so that the residence maintains the single-family residence appearance. In the elevation view provided, it appears the ADU would be constructed of different materials than the main building. It appears the main Attachment 4 building has vertical siding with the ADU addition would have horizontal siding. If the same style of windows is used and the house and ADU addition are painted the same color, the difference in orientation of the side might not be as noticeable. Another criterion is that ADU entrance shall be located in a manner that is unobtrusive when viewed from the street. The large covered entry to the ADU draws attention to the entrance and does not appear to meet this criterion. A final concern with regard to the appearance is how the two garage doors will appear (need to full elevation views to evaluate). One of the garage doors may have to be camouflaged in some way to maintain the appearance of a single-family residence once the ADU is constructed. 3. Interior Connection: There must be an interior connection from the ADU to the primary residence. As designed (in function and appearance), the proposed addition would essential result in duplex which are not allowed in single-family zones. An exterior man - door should be added to the new garage as well to allow access to the garage for the primary residence without have having to go through the ADU or the large garage door. 4. Rockery: a. A new rockery has been shown along the west side of the proposed driveway. The driveway would place a surcharge on the rockery which is prohibited by ECDC 18.45.020. Please revise the plans to show an engineered retaining wall instead of a rockery. The retaining wall design does not to be submitted until the building permit stage of the project. b. Setback: Rockeries and/or retaining walls over three feet in height must comply with zoning setbacks. It appears the proposed rockery (or retaining wall) will exceed three feet in height. Please ensure the retaining wall and driveway is designed so the retaining will not exceed three feet in height. According to ECDC 20.02.003.1), the above requested information must be submitted within 90 days (or by October 14, 2014) or the application will expire. Since the application has been determined to be complete, a notice of application will be posted on the subject property and mailed to adjacent property owners within the next two weeks consistent with ECDC 20.03.002.

The information provided is consistent with Title 18 Edmonds Community Development Code & Engineering standards. The applicant has demonstrated that the three required parking stalls can be provided on site. Please include the following conditions in the staff report. 1. Plans indicate that improvements associated with the Accessory Dwelling Unit will create new impervious surface areas in excess of 2000 sq. ft. City code requires stormwater management (SWM) to be provided when impervious surface areas created after 1977 exceed 2000sf. The building permit submitall will need to address this requirement. The use of Low Impact Development Techniques is encouraged by the City wherever feasible. This could include rain gardens, pervious pavement, etc. Engineering Division staff would be happy to discuss this further with the applicant. 2. If the proposed retaining wall will support a surcharge, design and calculations submitted with the building permit will need to be prepared by a licensed engineer. Thank you.
