Proposed Use
Proposed Use
The applicant is proposing to subdivide a 30,584 square foot parcel addressed as 18607 Olympic View
Drive. The parcel is zoned Single Family Residential (RS-12), which requires a 12,000 square foot
minimum lot size (Edmonds Community Development Code Chapter 16.20). Parcel A (approximately
12,000 square feet) would be created on the eastern portion of the lot where there is an existing house,
which will remain. Parcel B would be approximately of 18,500 square feet and located between Parcel A
and Olympic View Drive to the west.
Subdivisions
Subdivisions
Subdivisions must meet the requirements in ECDC 20.75, particularly ECDC 20.75.080 and .085.
Modifications to the requirements of the subdivision chapter may be requested pursuant to ECDC
20.75.075.
Environmental Regulations
Environmental Regulations
Critical Area Determination: A critical area determination was completed for the subject parcel in 1998;
however, the critical areas code was since updated in 2005. As a result, a new critical areas checklist
must be submitted.
Parcel B would contain a fairly steep slope adjacent to Olympic View Drive. It is likely that a portion of the
slope will be classified as a landslide hazard based on the grade. Development may occur near or in
landslide hazard areas but must satisfy the requirements established in ECDC 23.80.070.
SEPA Review: If grading will exceed 500 cubic yards, an environmental checklist will be required.

Lot Area: Lots in the RS-12 zone must be a minimum of 12,000 square feet. Lot area excludes street
rights-of-way and access easements.
Lot Width: RS-12 requires a minimum lot width of 80.
Setbacks: Per ECDC 16.20.030, the RS-12 zone requires the following property line setbacks:
Street setback is 25 feet
Side setback is 10 feet
Rear setback is 25 feet
Page 1 of 2
From the information provided, Parcel A would have a street setback from the eastern property line
adjacent to the access road, 10 sides, and 25 from the rear (western) property line. Parcel B would have
a 25 street setback from Olympic View Drive, 10 sides, and 25 from the rear (eastern) property line.
The existing house is nonconforming with respect to setback (16.5 vs. 25) and this would continue after
subdivision. Nonconforming structures are regulated in ECDC 17.40.020.
Rear setbacks may be reduced to 5 feet only for accessory structures less than 600 square feet in size.
No structures greater than 36 may be located within a required setback except residential fences less
than six feet in height, retaining walls, rockeries, and similar improvements of a minor character less than
three feet in height. Eaves and chimneys may project into a required setback not more than 30 inches.
Uncovered and unenclosed porches, steps, patios, and decks may project into a required setback not
more than one-third of the required setback, or four feet, whichever is less; provided, that they are no
more than 30 inches above ground level at any point.
