II. FINDINGS OF FACT AND ANALYSIS
A. SITE DESCRIPTION
1. Site Development and Zoning
a. Facts
Size: According to the County Assessor, 21805 98th Ave. W is 10,016 +/-
square feet.
ii. Zoning: The current zoning map dated April 2015 shows the subject parcel
as Open Space (Attachment 1).
iii. Land Use: There is a single family residence, pool and associated
appurtences at the subject site.
2. Neighboring Development and Zoning
a. Facts
L North/East/South: These parcels are all zoned Single Family Residential
(RS-8) and developed accordingly.
ii. West: Across 98th Ave. W, the parcels are all zoned Single Family
Residential (RS-10) and developed accordingly.
B. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA)
1. Fact: A Determination of Nonsignificance was issued on May 10, 2016 (Attachment
3). No comments or appeals were received. Because this is a non -project action,
further environmental review may be required with subsequent requests for
specific project approvals.
C. EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE COMPLIANCE
1. ECDC Section 20.40 (Rezones)
a. Facts
While reviewing a building permit for a nearby site, staff noticed that the
subject parcel was zoned Open Space (OS) rather than Single Family
Residential (RS-8) like the parcels surrounding it on the east side of 98th
Avenue West north of 220th Street SW. The parcel used to be the site of an
old City -owned water storage facility and so was zoned Open Space.
However, that facility was removed in the late 1960s, which was confirmed
by Public Works. The parcel should have been rezoned from Open Space to
Single Family Residential at that time but wasn't. Despite that, in 1971 the
City approved a building permit for the existing single family residence on
the lot (BLD19710149) and later a pool in 1976 (BLD19760367).
ii. The existing use and structures on the site are nonconforming but would be
2
made conforming by the change in zoning from OS to RS-8.
iii. Requests to amend the official zoning map require compliance with ECDC
20.40 which includes SEPA review and public notice.
b. Analysis
The following is an analysis of the proposed rezone against the six decision
criteria as required in ECDC 20.40.010.
Whether the proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The subject parcel
is designated Single Family Urban 1 and the RS-8 zone is one of the
implementing zones for that designation.
ii. Whether the proposal is consistent with the purposes of the zoning
ordinance, and whether the proposal is consistent with the purposes of the
proposed zone district.
The proposed rezone is consistent with the zoning ordinance and RS-8 zone
district. As noted previously, all the parcels surrounding the subject parcel
east of 98th Ave. W are zoned RS-8.
iii. The relationship of the proposed zoning change to the existing land uses and
zoning of surrounding or nearby property.
The current use at the parcel is nonconforming relative to the OS zone and
rezoning the site RS-8 will bring the use into conformance. The proposed
change will also bring the zoning into alignment with the surrounding
parcels.
iv. Whether there has been sufficient change in the character of the immediate
or surrounding area or in city policy to justify the rezone.
The subject parcel should have been rezoned prior to redevelopment in
1971. There has been no change in the single family neighborhood and
nearby uses since then.
v. Whether the property is economically and physically suitable for the uses
allowed under the existing zoning, and under the proposed zoning. One factor
could be the length of time the property has remained undeveloped
compared to the surrounding area, and parcels elsewhere with the some
zoning.
As with the immediately surrounding parcels, the subject parcel is
economically and physically suitable for the uses allowed in the RS-8 zone.
vi. The relative gain to the public health, safety and welfare compared to the
potential increase or decrease in value to the property owners.
Rezoning the subject parcel would bring it into agreement with the
Comprehensive Plan and make the existing development at the site
conforming.
D. PUBLIC COMMENTS
To date, no public comments have been received regarding the subject application.
III. RECOMMENDATION
Based on the Findings of Fact, Analysis and Attachments in this report, staff proposes that
the Planning Board make a recommendation to the City Council to approve this request to
rezone 21805 98th Ave. W from Open Space (OS) to Single Family Residential (RS-8).

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
St. I
Purpose of Checklist:
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental
impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with
probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist; is to provide information to help
you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to
help the agency decide whether an EIS is required.

11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and size of the project and site.
There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You
do not need to repeat those answers on this page.
The purpose of this City -sponsored project is to rezone the subject parcel from Open Space (OS) to Single Family
Residential (RS-8) to bring zoning for the site into agreement with the Comprehensive Plan.
While reviewing a building permit for a nearby site, staff noticed that the subject parcel was zoned Open Space (OS)
rather than Single Family Residential (RS-8) like the parcels surrounding it on the east side of 98`" Avenue West north of
220th Street SW. The parcel used to be the site of an old City -owned water storage facility and so was zoned Open
Space. However, that facility was removed in the late 1960s, which was confirmed by Public Works. The parcel should
have been rezoned from Open Space to Single Family Residential at that time but wasn't. Despite that, in 1971 the City
approved a building permit for the existing single family residence on the lot (BLD19710149) and later a pool in 1976
(BLD19760367).
Site -specific rezones are a Type IV-B decision with a public hearing before the Planning Board and closed -record
review and decision by the City Council.
12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your
proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal
would occur over a range of area, provide range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide legal description, site plan,
vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any plans required by the
agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related
to this checklist.

Subject: ZONING MAP CLEAN UP— PROPOSED CHANGE AT 21805 98T" AVE. W
(PLN 20160019)
Dear Mr. Miles,
My name is Mike Clugston — I work with the City of Edmonds in the Development Services
Department. While recently reviewing a building permit for another nearby parcel, I noticed
that your parcel was zoned Open Space (OS) rather than Single Family Residential (RS-8) like the
parcels around you on the east side of 98th Avenue West (see the map on the back). This
seemed odd and it turns out that your parcel used to be the site of an old City -owned water
storage facility and so was zoned Open Space —that made sense. However, that facility was
removed in the late 1960s and the parcel should have been rezoned at that time from Open
Space to Single Family Residential because in 1971 the existing single family residence was
approved and built (permit BLD19710149) followed by the pool in 1976 (permit BLD19760367).
For whatever reason, the zoning map was never officially updated but now I need to clean up
the map and bring it into alignment with the use that has been going on at your parcel for the
last 45 years.
Unfortunately, I can't simply change the map administratively in the office so I'll need to take
the project to the Planning Board and City Council for their approval. As part of that, I must
post your property with a land use sign describing the project and notify your neighbors within
300' that this is happening. This work will be occurring over the next few months and the
outcome will be that your parcel will be rezoned from Open Space to RS-8, just like the rest of
the parcels on your side of the block. This change must take place before any additional
permits can be obtained for work at your site.
You don't need to do anything for this clean-up project to go forward but if you have any
questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220 or michael.clugston@edmondswa.gov and we
can go over it in more detail.
