ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
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.
Instructions for Applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this
checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer
the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer
the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if
a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may
avoid unnecessary delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if
you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of
land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you
submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there
may be significant adverse impact.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals:
For nonproject proposals complete this checklist and the supplemental sheet for nonproject actions (Part D). the lead agency may
exclude any question for the environmental elements (Part B) which they determine do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of
the proposed nonproject actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be
read as "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.

c. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any:
This will be a true 2 story building (not 3 stories squished into 30 feet), so the scale will be

11. Light and Glare
a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly occur?
The glazing is primarily on the North and West sides of the building. The north side will not
get direct sunlight and the west side is shaded from the afternoon sun by the taller building
directly west of the project. Therefore, the proposal will not produce glare. The interior space is
for artists, so it is designed to utilize natural light from the exterior windows, a skylight, and
the 2 story center atrium. Minimal interior lighting will be used and the majority of workhours
will be during daylight hours, so very little light will be produced by the proposal.

Edmonds train station.

f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project? If known, indicate when
peak volumes would occur and what percentage of the volume would be trucks (such as commercial and
passenger vehicles). What data or transportation models were used to make these estimates?
The majority of the project space is for art studios where tenant artists will work. This does not
generate retail traffic. The tenants themselves would number about 25 and would generate
about 50 trips per day assuming none took the bus or rode bicycles, which artists do tend to do.
The 3 apartments would generate 4.2 ADT per ITE, therefore rounded up to 13 ADT. The cafe
is in a pedestrian zone and intended to serve the local community, but on a really good day may
generate 50 ADT based on seating capacity. Therefore, the estimate for vehicle trips per day
would be not more than 113. Peak hours would be the lunch and dinner peaks of Noon to 1:00
pm and 6:00 to 7:00 pm. Even the peak hours will be well below 25 vehicle trips. 4 ADT
would be for delivery trucks for which there is a delivery area on the south side off of the alley.
From these figures should be subtracted the current ADT from the existing business which we
estimate to be about 20/day for employess, 10/day for customers, and 4/day for delivery trucks.

g. Will the proposal interfere with, affect or be affected by the movement of agricultural and forest products
on roads or streets in the area? If so, generally describe.

south alley.

No.

b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any:
