02-02-21 Council Public Hearing Notice Draft Tree Regulations` PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL
On February 2, 2021, the Edmonds City Council will hold a public hearing regarding the
following issue:
The City Council will hold a public hearing on draft tree regulations being considered by
the City of Edmonds. The intent of the tree regulations update is to implement the Urban
Forest Management Plan (UFMP) that was adopted in 2019. A goal of the UFMP is to
"Update tree regulations to reduce clearcutting or other development impacts on the
urban forest and to consider tree replacement requirements and penalties for code
violations." The draft tree regulations address this goal as well as another UFMP goal of
establishing a City Tree Fund. The draft regulations are primarily provided in a new
Chapter 23.10 ECDC, a new Chapter 3.95 in City Code for the Tree Fund establishment,
and a new section in the subdivision Chapter 20.75 ECDC for design flexibility to retain
more trees with development. More information on the tree code may be found at the
website treecode.edmondswa.gov.
The City Council meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Council Chambers, Public
Safety Complex, 250 5t" Avenue North, Edmonds, Washington. At the time and place
stated above, all interested parties will be heard, however, there will be a time restriction
for oral comment. Written comments are welcomed prior to or at the public hearing.
If the item is continued to another date because it is not completed, or further information
is needed, the date of the continuation will be announced only at the meeting. Additional
information may be obtained at the Development Services, 121 511 Avenue North,
Edmonds. Telephone: (425) 771-0220.
