City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 07/31/2017
Ordinance to Change the Timing of the Hearing Examiner's Annual Report
Staff Lead: Shane Hope
Department: City Clerk's Office
Preparer: Scott Passey
Background/History
RCW 35A.63.170 authorizes the legislative body of a city to adopt a hearing examiner system. Edmonds
City Code (ECC) 10.35.010 calls for the hearing examiner to provide an annual report to the city council
each year in September.
This item was presented at the July 25 PPP Committee and recommended for approval on the consent
agenda.
Staff Recommendation
Recommended for approval on the consent agenda.
Narrative
Because September is typically a busy month of the year for City Council business, staff believes it would
serve the public better to have the hearing examiner's annual report given during the first quarter of
each year when Council meeting agendas have more capacity and when the hearing examiner's report
can be given retrospectively to the last calendar year. The attached ordinance would enact this change
in the City code.

Historic Informational Panels for Yost Park and Waterfront Mills
Staff Lead: Carrie Hlte
Department: Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Preparer: Carrie Hite
Background/History
In thinking about the 125th anniversary of the City the Historic Preservation Commission proposed the
creation of two informational panels to commemorate the history of the waterfront area and the mills
that populated it in early years. The suggestion was made to place one panel in a location on Sunset
close to where a photograph was taken of the waterfront mills in 1910. A second panel was proposed
for Yost Park near one of the existing old -growth cedar stumps that bears notches used by the loggers.
The concept was discussed by the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services staff, and with the Arts
Commission. City Council approved expenditure for the informational panels on Dec 13, 2016, but
requested that the final design and proposed sites come back to City Council for final approval following
Planning board review and Arts Commission review.
Planning Board reviewed the proposed panels on June 14, 2017. Planning Board recommended City
Council approve the informational panels with the understanding that the one on Sunset might need to
be moved in the future and making sure there is reference that connects the information on the two
signs. The Arts Commission reviewed and approved final designs and sites on June 5, 2017.
The Council was briefed on this project with a presentation and templates of the signs. The Council
decided to have the PPP committee review it.
On July 25, 2017 the PPP committee reviewed the signs and are forwarding this for the consent agenda,
with the changes noted below.
Staff Recommendation
Council approve on consent.
Narrative
This item was presented to the City Council at the July 18 Council Meeting. The Council directed that this
item be referred to the Parks, Planning, and Public Works Committee for further consideration.
The PPP committee is recommending approval with the following changes:
Sign at Yost Park:
1. Make this sign larger, so the font can be read.
?. Take out the word " Cedar" on the title.
Packet Pg. 66
5.5
Make the wording consistent on both signs in regards to the trees. On the Yost park sign the
trees are referred to as "Western Red Cedar and Western Hemlock". On the waterfront sign
they are referred to as " old -growth cedars, hemlocks and firs"
4. Use the word " move" instead of " skid" on the second paragraph, 4t" sentence.
Sign on the Waterfront:
1. On the first sentence, change the words " at the turn of the 20t" century" to " in 1910"
2. Make the wording consistent on both signs in regards to the trees. On the Yost park sign the
trees are referred to as "Western Red Cedar and Western Hemlock". On the waterfront sign they
are referred to as " old -growth cedars, hemlocks and firs"
3. On the last paragraph, take out " Waterfront Saw Mills in Edmonds 1910".
Staff will work with the designer to make these changes and move forward with fabrication and
installation.

PUBLIC HEARING ON REZONE OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE HIGHWAY 99 PLANNED ACTION AREA TO
GENERAL COMMERCIAL (CG)
Mr. Chave provided two maps, one illustrating the existing zoning along the Highway 99 Corridor, and the other illustrating
the proposed zoning. He noted that the Board is generally familiar with the proposal, which is a legislative rather than a
quasi-judicial action because it would apply area wide. He reviewed that the Planning Board previously considered the
Highway 99 Subarea Plan and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City Council. In addition, the Board
conducted a public hearing on May loth on amendments to the development regulations to establish new standards for a
consolidated CG zone in the Highway 99 area. The proposed zoning changes were shown as part of the Board's May loth
hearing presentation. Following the public hearing relative to the rezone proposal, the Board will be asked to forward a
recommendation of approval to the City Council. The City Council is scheduled to conduct a public hearing next week on
both the zoning code and the map.
Mr. Chave reviewed that, through the Planned Action process, the City is working to consolidate the zoning throughout the
Highway 99 area. Historically, the properties have been zoned both CG and CG2, but there is very little difference between
the two zones except for the height limit. Currently, the CG zone allows a maximum height of 60 feet, and the CG2 zone
allows a maximum height of 75 feet. The proposed rezone would make the overall zoning along the corridor consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan Map, which designates the entire corridor for a consistent development pattern. Through the
Planned Action process, the properties that are currently zoned CG and CG2 would be consolidated into a single CG zone,
and new standards and design parameters would apply. The proposed action would bring all zoning into consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan and the Highway 99 Subarea Plan.
In addition to consolidating the CG and CG2 zoning, the proposal would also rezone some properties that are currently zoned
Multi -Family Residential (RM) to CG. He explained that, in some cases, commercial property owners also own the adjacent
RM-zoned property, which means that the zoning is split in some cases. The intent is to consolidate these RM-zoned
properties into the CG zone. In addition to providing greater consistency, the new CG zone has built-in transition standards.
For example, combined stepbacks and setbacks are not required in the current CG zone, but would be added as part of the
new standards and design parameters. The thought is that some of the transition issues could be handled via the zoning
standards rather than through transitional zoning areas.
Mr. Chave recalled that when the Board previously conducted a public hearing on development code amendments to
implement the Highway 99 Subarea Plan, some of the comments were related to the anticipated CG zoning changes.
Tonight's hearing offers a formal opportunity for the public to comment specifically on the rezone proposal. Following the
public hearing and Planning Board deliberation, the Board will be asked to forward a recommendation to the City Council.
Board Member Lovell pointed out that each of the maps identify the properties located within the City of Edmonds, as well
as those located within unincorporated Snohomish County (Esperance). Mr. Chave emphasized that the proposal would not
change the zoning in the properties located in unincorporated Snohomish County. Board Member Lovell said it is important
to make sure the Board Members understand that the current CG zoning allows a maximum height of 60 feet and the current
CG2 zoning allows a maximum height of 75 feet. As proposed, the CG and CG2 zones would be consolidated and the
maximum height would be 75 feet along the entire corridor. Mr. Chave pointed out that the only reason for the two zones
(CG and CG2) was to follow through on the distinctions made by Snohomish County prior to when the properties were
annexed into the City.
Vice Chair Monroe pointed out that there are slivers of white area on the two zoning maps. Mr. Chave responded that these
identify City rights -of -way, which are considered un-zoned properties.
Stanley Piha, Edmonds, said he participated on the original Highway 99 Task Force and he also owns property within the
Highway 99 Subarea. He commented that the evolution of the proposed Highway 99 Subarea Plan meets many of the goals
and objectives brought forward by the original task force a number of years ago. He said he supports the good work done by
the consultant and City staff and felt the plan would offer an opportunity for a wonderful transformation to occur along the
Edmonds portion of Highway 99. He encouraged the Board to recommend approval of the proposed rezone as presented by
staff.

UPDATE FROM THE PARKS, RECREATION AND CULTURAL SERVICES DIRECTOR
Ms. Hite provided an overview of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services projects that have been done or are in progress.
Civic Field Acquisition and Master Plan. The City purchased the Civic Field from the Edmonds School District in
February of 2016, and this was followed by a robust community process, working with consultant Walker Macy, to
create a master plan for the site. An advisory committee was formed to provide guidance to the consultant and staff, and
the Planning Board played an integral part in the process, as well. The final Civic Field Master Plan is a culmination of a
very robust public conversation, with a lot of give and take and compromise. The goal moving forward is to complete
the survey and geotechnical work this year. Staff recently sent out a notice to tenants of the stadium advising that they
must vacate their space by October 31st. The plan is to take down the facility in November. Monies will be built into the
2018 Capital Improvement Plan for design development work, and staff will also prepare a financial package for the
park's redevelopment, including grant applications. Implementation of the plan is anticipated to cost about $10 million,
and it is hoped that construction work can start in 2020 or before.
City Park. The spray pad at City Park opened on May 26th. The weather was awesome, and the facility was packed. It
continues to be very popular. To mitigate noise for the neighbors, the City planted a number of trees and additional
foliage. Staff has received a lot of favorable comments about the new facility. Board Member Lovell asked if the water
retention/recirculation system is working as planned, and Ms. Hite answered affirmatively. Rather than the direct -to -
drain approach, the new spray pad uses a water recycling system. The system is backwashed once each week to clean it
out and start with fresh water, and the Public Health Department has given it a clean bill of health.
• Dayton Street Plaza. A ribbon -cutting ceremony for the Dayton Street Plaza was held in March. This gathering area in
the downtown allows people to have a resting/stopping spot when walking from downtown to the waterfront. There
have been a number of performances in the plaza area, as well.
• 4`h Avenue Cultural Corridor Interim Projects. The artwork, Luminous Forest, was dedicated in conjunction with the
Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA)'s IOth Anniversary celebration in July of 2016. The artwork leads walkers from
Main Street to the ECA.
• Wayfinding Signage/Park Signage. The existing wayfinding sign at 5th and Main Street is scheduled for replacement
in 2017, and the new sign will be consistent with the current sign program standards. New signs were installed at Yost
Park and Maplewood Park, and the City has received a number of favorable comments from the public. The Parks
Department will continue to update wayfinding and park signage as time allows. She noted that the old sign at Yost Park
was donated to the Edmonds Museum.
• Marina Beach. The Marina Beach Master Plan was adopted in February of 2016 following a robust public process.
The purpose of the plan was to find a route for Willow Creek to come across the parkland. Parallel to the Master Plan
work, the City is working on a proposal to daylight Willow Creek. However, there is no funding set aside for the Master
Plan implementation, which will not likely occur for at least five years. Board Member Lovell asked about the City's
plans for sequencing major projects. Ms. Hite answered that Civic Field will likely remain the first priority if the City is
successful in reaching its financial goals. The project to daylight Willow Creek will not likely be ready to submit for
grant funding until the 2018 cycle, and construction will not likely occur until at least 2020. The daylighting project will
be done in conjunction with implementation of the Marina Beach Master Plan, and the total cost of the two projects is
estimated to be between $6 and $10 million. There have been extensive discussions about looking for federal grant
funding, which depends on the environment at the federal level for parks grants and salmon rehabilitation. Board

Member Lovell pointed out that the City is in the process of doing drainage work in the area. Ms. Hite explained that
there are several solutions associated improving drainage in the area, and daylighting Willow Creek is just one. Other
projects include cleaning out the culverts and adding another pump station to the treatment plant.
• Fishing Pier. The fishing pier was opened again to the public last September, but there are some issues that need to be
addressed. The contractor will be back on site starting June 15"' to repair some of the center joints. It will not be
necessary to close the entire pier during the approximately 5-week construction period, but some areas will likely be
closed as work is done under specific sections of the pier. The work will be done at no cost to the City since the project
is still under warranty.
• Public Restroom. A new downtown public restroom was opened in 2016, and informational panels were recently
installed on the east wall of the new facility. The Economic Development Department and Cultural Services Division
worked with the Edmonds Museum to create the historical panels, which were funded by the Hubbard Family
Foundation.
• Edmonds Marsh. The City will continue to work on daylighting Willow Creek, and the City will continue to contract
with Keeley O'Connell to project manage the phases of the marsh rehabilitation efforts.
• Critical Areas Report for Edmonds Parks. Recent changes in the Critical Areas Ordinance required the Parks
Department to hire a consultant to prepare critical areas reports for all parks where maintenance and restoration activities
are expected to be conducted within critical areas during the next five years. The reports will enable park maintenance
staff and volunteer stewardship groups to lawfully continue removing invasive vegetation and restoring native vegetation
within critical areas following approval by the Planning Division.
• Parklet Development. The City has received requests from a number of private business owners in the downtown about
the idea of constructing parklets. The City's plan is to construct a parklet on 4`' Avenue between Main Street and the
ECA as a pilot project to gauge interest. Vice Chair Monroe noted that creating parklets could result in a loss of parking.
He asked if there is a process whereby the City will solicit feedback from the community about whether or not this
would be desirable. Ms. Hite said the first parklet would be constructed closer to the ECA where there is not as much
demand for parking space. The goal is to see how much it is utilized before considering opportunities to expand to other
locations.
• Outdoor Fitness Zones. Money has been set aside in the Capital Improvement Program for the past two years to
provide leverage or matching funds for grants to complete this project. The City's grant application has been put on hold
based on a recent decision by Verdant Health to place a hold on all grants pending discussions with their auditors. The
project is still in Verdant's queue, but it will not be done until grant funding has been received.
• Meadowdale Playfields. The City is partnering with the City of Lynnwood and the Edmonds School District to
renovate the Meadowdale Playfields in 2017. The intent is to replace the natural dirt and grass fields with synthetic
fields so they can be played on year-round. The City Council approved an interlocal agreement with the school district
and the City of Lynnwood, and the City of Lynnwood recently awarded the contract. The project should be on line by
the end of the year.
• City Storage Building. The previous building was destroyed by an arson fire, and the City is in the process of replacing
it with a larger facility that will serve the needs of both the Parks Department and the Public Works Department.
Progress towards completion of the new building should be made before the end of the year.
• Community Garden. This project has been identified in the City's Capital Improvement Program for quite some time,
but it has been difficult to find land. City staff is in discussions with Snohomish County about entering into an interlocal
agreement to use a portion of Esperance Park for a Community Garden. Snohomish County recently completed a master
plan for the park, which includes space for a community garden. Working together, they should be able to get the garden
area ready for the 2018 growing season. Board Member Lovell asked how large the garden would be, and Ms. Hite
answered that it would be about'/2 acre, divided into about 50 raised beds.

5.5.a
• Veteran's Plaza. There was a very successful ribbon -cutting event on Memorial Day, but there is a final punch list of
items that still need to be completed.
Waterfront Redevelopment and Walkway Completion. The City has been working parallel to the Senior Center's
efforts to rebuild. The City's interest is to pull back the creosote pier from the Sound and introduce a filtration system
from the parking lot to the Sound. In addition, the City is interested in completing the walkway south of the Senior
Center. The City owns an easement in front of the Ebbtide Condominiums, and it is working with a designer to figure
out the possibilities of connecting the walkway. The City has applied for grant funding, and there will also be some
funding available from the Real Estate Excise Tax and Park Impact Fees. They are currently in the design phase, and
also have a contractor working on the environmental permits that will be needed for the project. The goal is to break
ground in 2018 and complete the overwater construction work during the fish window (mid -July through mid -
September).
• Frances Anderson Center Bandshell. The City received occupancy papers for the new facility today, and it will be
used by the Arts Festival this weekend. They have received a number of positive comments about the bandshell, which
fits Edmonds nicely.
Informational Panels. A committee with representatives from the Arts Commission, Historic Preservation
Commission, Development Services, and Parks Department have met to develop draft guidelines for informational
panels located in City parks and rights -of -way to ensure a stylistic consistency and sensitivity to number and locations.
The informational panels are intended to provide environmental, historical and cultural information associated with
specific sites. Two informational panels are currently in development, one for Yost Park to identify an old -growth cedar
stump showing notches from logging at the turn of the 20'h century and another for Sunset Avenue showing the
waterfront sawmills in 1910. The Historic Preservation Commission developed the concept for the two panels and the
design was reviewed by the Arts Commission. The City Council approved allocation of funds to create the two panels in
December of 2016, but they required that the Planning Board review the design before final fabrication.
Board Member Lovell noted that the proposal is to place an informational sign at the end of Bell Street on Sunset
Avenue. He noted that, as currently proposed, a new crossing over the tracks is proposed at Edmonds Street. There have
been suggestions that a minipark could be established in this location, as well. He said the Historic Preservation
Commission should be made aware of this proposal so they can consider the option of moving the informational sign
further north to a higher location at some point in the future. Ms. Hite said it was difficult to find an ideal location on
City property that did not have trees that blocked the view. She agreed to invite the group to consider this alternative
location, as well.
Board Member Lovell inquired about the exact location of the informational sign at Yost Park. Ms. Hite answered that it
would be located about 200 feet down a trail off of Main Street that starts near 2nd Avenue where an old -growth cedar
stump is located. She noted that a lot of walkers use the trail, and the sign would be highly visible. The intent is to
locate it right next to the stump. Board Member Lovell asked if any thought has been given to creating a map to
illustrate the location of each of the informational signs, and Ms. Hite answered affirmatively.
Board Member Robles said that these signs have been used in other cities, and they tend to fade and become weathered
over time. He asked if there is sufficient funding to ensure that the signs are high quality. Ms. Hite answered that the
signs would be constructed of a high -quality laminate material that is weather resistant. The same material has been used
on other signs in the City over the past five years, and they are very happy with the durability of the product.
Board Member Robles said he likes the concept of historical panels. However, he asked if the City has considered
opportunities for historical panels that celebrate the indigenous community that used to live in Edmonds. Ms. Hite
answered that the informational signs that were installed on the new restroom in the downtown tell the story of the
indigenous people.
Vice Chair Monroe asked if the City is planning to install more informational signs over time. Ms. Hite answered hat is
possible as they work with the Historic Preservation Commission to identify stories and places. However, there is
Planning Board Minutes
June 14, 2017 Page 5
Packet Pg. 72
nothing planned right now. She cautioned that it is important to balance the number of signs in places where people
want to enjoy the natural beauty. Vice Chair Monroe asked about the average cost of the signs, and Ms. Hite answered
that they cost about $5,000.
Board Member Cheung noted that the history contained on the two new signs is tied together. He suggested that
references should be added to somehow tie the two signs together. Ms. Hite agreed that would be appropriate.
BOARD MEMBER LOVELL MOVED THAT THE BOARD FORWARD A RECOMMENDATION TO THE
CITY COUNCIL THAT THEY ACCEPT AND APPROVE THE HISTORIC MARKER SIGNS AS
PRESENTED BY STAFF WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY BE AWARE THAT THE BELL
STREET SIGN MAY NEED TO BE RELOCATED IF AND WHEN THE EDMONDS RAILRAOD CROSSING
SOLUTION COMES TO FRUITION. VICE CHAIR MONROE SECONDED THE MOTION.
BOARD MEMBER CHEUNG MOVED THAT THE MOTION BE AMENDED TO ADD THAT A
REFERENCE BE PROVIDED ON EACH SIGN TO CONNECT THE TWO TOGETHER. BOARD MEMBER
CLOUTIER SECONDED THE MOTION TO AMEND, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
THE MAIN MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED AS AMENDED.
Economic Impact of Arts and Cultural/Community Cultural Plan. The Arts Commission and staff are currently
working to implement the strategy identified in the Community Cultural Plan involving a study of the economic impact
of arts and culture in Edmonds. The study is funded through the Parks Department, Arts Commission and Economic
Development Commission, and BERK was selected as the project consultant. The first meeting with the advisory group
was held, and stakeholder interviews have been conducted. A survey of the attendees has been tested for use over the
summer and early fall, and additional data will be collected from arts and culture nonprofits and businesses. Board
Member Rosen asked about the Board's role in the economic impact study. Ms. Hite said the draft will likely come
before the Board as the Parks Board before moving on to the City Council. If the Board is interested, they could also be
involved in the process via the on-line and in -person surveys that will be conducted over the next several months. Board
Member Rosen said it would be helpful to see the methodology the consultant used to prepare the survey, and Ms. Hite
agreed to send it to the Board Members.
• Willow Creek Fish Hatchery. After nearly 30 years operating the hatchery, Trout Unlimited announced it would be
retiring from operations within the next two years. Sound Salmon Solutions, a non-profit organization and regional
leader in salmon conservation, has agreed to take over management of the hatchery operations and expand the
educational programming and outreach activities at the site. A Professional Services Agreement was signed in February
to cover staff time for training and grant writing, and Sound Salmon Solutions staff has been working closely with Trout
Unlimited with the goal of fully taking over operations at the facility in 2018.
Western Washington University Initiatives. This year the City has had the benefit of several projects from Western
Washington University (WWU) students as part of the Sustainable Cities Partnership. Students from the parks and
recreation program provided creative and innovate ideas for recreation programming in Edmonds, a marketing class
provided proposals for the 4"h Avenue Cultural Corridor, an environmental class provided a Phase 1 environmental
assessment of Stella's Landing, and a GIS and marketing class worked on mapping the cemetery. Once the cemetery
project is completed, people will be able to find information about where loved ones are buried on line and even view a
photo of the actual gravesite. There will also be a map available at the cemetery for those who are not comfortable
searching on line.
• Urban Forest Management Plan. The Parks Department is working with the Development Services Department to
complete an Urban Forest Management Plan in 2017, and they have retained the services of Davey Resources Group to
engage with the community to draft the plan. The first public open house is scheduled for June 22nd in the Brackett
Room of City Hall from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. The intent is to create some goals, going forward, for management of the
public forests. Board Member Lovell urged Board Members to attend the open house. He recalled that, two years ago,
the Tree Board presented a plan to the Planning Board that nearly caused a riot at the public hearing. He expects there

will be a lot of public participation as the plan moves forward, and it would behoove the Planning Board Members to
follow the process closely.
• Staffing Changes. After 30 years of service, Renee McRae has retired, and Dave Johnston has been hired as the new
Deputy Director. He comes from the City of Tukwila where he serves as the Parks and Recreation Supervisor.
Board Member Lovell reminded the Board that one of its members typically participates as a judge in the Sand Sculpture
Contest that is held in July. He said he has fulfilled this assignment in past years and it has been a lot of fun. Board Member
Robles said he was a judge in 2016, and he found it to be fascinating.
Board Member Rosen commented that the presentation provided by Ms. Hite, as well as the written report that was included
in the Staff Report, makes him even more proud to be a member of the Edmonds community. Parks not only enhance the
quality of life for Edmonds citizens, they also provide an economic value to the City. Ms. Hite said she has an incredible
staff team, which means that she does not have to be the lead on all projects. She said she loves her job, and feels that
Edmonds is an amazing town that supports parks.
Board Member Lovell commented that, looking to the future, the City may be reaching the point where it may need to
consider opportunities for obtaining additional funding for parks, and the concept of creating a Metropolitan Park District
may come up again. Ms. Hite reviewed that Board Member Lovell participated on the committee that researched the concept
a few years ago, and there was a lot of support for the approach. However, at the time, the financial forecast improved and
the City Council made the decision not to float it as an initiative. As the City looks forward, the financial picture is tight and
it may be appropriate to consider the option once again if there is community support for projects such as daylighting Willow
Creek and implementing the Marina Beach and Civic Field Master Plans. She said she has discussed the concept with
Mayor Earling and also submitted an article in THE EDMONDS BEACON regarding options for financing projects. Forming
a Metropolitan Park District is one option the legislature has given to cities in the state, and quite a few have taken advantage
of the opportunity. Board Member Lovell asked if the impetus to reconsider the option would come from the Mayor or the
City Council. Ms. Hite advised that if the City Council is interested in pursuing the option again, Mayor Earling could direct
her work to do that. It would likely be part of the financial discussion that takes place during the budget process.
REVIEW OF EXTENDED AGENDA
The Board reviewed that the agenda for the June 28th meeting includes a review of the proposed Planned Action Ordinance
for the Highway 99 Subarea Plan, as well as a presentation on the 2017 Water Comprehensive Plan update. The July 12th
agenda includes a public hearing on the Proposed Planned Action Ordinance for the Highway 99 Subarea Plan, and a public
hearing on the 2017 Update to the Water Comprehensive Plan.
Vice Chair Monroe asked that the extended agenda be updated to include an update on the Economic Impacts of Arts and
Culture Study, as well as an update on the Urban Forest Management Plan.
PLANNING BOARD CHAIR COMMENTS
Vice Chair Monroe reported on his attendance at the May 17th Economic Development Commission Meeting where they
came up with a number of topics to focus on over the next six to eight months. He also reported that he met with Mayor
Earling to discuss the Board's report to the City Council on June 20th. He advised that he and Chair Rubenkonig would work
together to prepare the report.
PLANNING BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
Board Member Rosen said he was happy to be a member of the Board and will work hard to learn so that he can add value to
the Board as quickly as possible. Board Member Lovell welcomed him on the Board and said he looks forward to his
participation and valuable input.

1. AWARD PRESENTATION FOR RONDI NORDAL
Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite said this is an opportunity to honor a youth member of the
community, Rondi Nordal, who recently received an award for her outstanding service. Ms. Nordal has
done an incredible job on the fishing pier, doing surveys and working with Students Saving Salmon. Ms.
Hite introduced the presenters, Laura Goff, Snohomish Conservation District, and Val Stewart.
Ms. Goff commented she was thrilled to recognize Ms. Nordal in her own community; she was
previously honored at the District's Better Grounds celebration. The District recognizes conservation
leaders through Snohomish County; Ms. Nordal was one of four 2016 Youth Conservation Leader of the
Year for her outstanding efforts and leadership to protect salmon streams in her area. She congratulated
Ms. Nordal for being a 2016 Conservation Leader of the Year.
Ms. Stewart explained she met Ms. Nordal approximately two years ago when she came to the first
Students Saving Salmon meeting at Edmonds-Woodway High School. Ms. Nordal has been an
inspirational leader in Students Saving Salmon Club at Edmonds-Woodway High School and her
leadership has brought many student into the club and she guided the creation of opportunity for civic
engagement and citizen science to promote conservation and restoration of salmon habitat in the Edmonds
community. She is a shining example of a young leader and environmental steward. Supporters of the
Club and who enabled its success include are Assistant Principal Jeff Bennett, Advisors Peggy Foreman
and Joe Scordino as well as faculty advisors.
Examples of Ms. Nordal's accomplishments include working with City staff on the Edmonds Fishing Pier
rehabilitation project, interviewing fishermen and visitors to learn what they needed and what could be
improved; an "On the Fence" project, "The Story of Salmon;" working with the Steam Team and
coordinating lab samples and data analysis at a North Seattle Community College lab; making
presentations to various government agencies and environmental organizations; writing to legislators and
governors; and being in the local and regional news media. Ms. Nordal has initiative, asks questions and
has ideas and puts them into action and inspires others to join. Students and adults admire her and follow
her example; she has a natural desire to educate as well as ask questions and listen to views before
thoughtfully responding. Her initiative and passion to converse and enhance salmon habitat has helped
raise awareness about the plight of salmon in the greater community. Ms. Nordal walks the talk and can
be counted on to lead environmental efforts to ensure healthy ecosystems for the next generations. She is
a student at Western Washington University in environmental science where she joined a new
organization, Students for Salish Sea. She was also selected as a NOAA intern last summer are usually
only college students, working on the Elwha Dam restoration project.
Ms. Nordal thanked the Council for honoring her receipt of this award; it means a lot to her to be
recognized for the work done in the community and for people to see what she and others have done. The
program information at the awards ceremony emphasized the importance of coming together and working
as a community. She was happy to be honored as it reached out to the community and educated others
toward a common goal of protecting the environment, resources and the natural world. The natural
environment provides the resources for daily life as well as the health and quality of life. She thanked

everyone who has helped her including her parents, family, friends, teachers, advisers and elected
officials. She hope she had inspired others to do good work.

o Diligent about staying within budget and spending wisely
Mr. Boehlke advised Advisory Board meetings are held on the 2°a and 4th Thursday of month at the
Edmonds Center for the Arts.
Councilmember Buckshnis said bravo on the budget, noting an expenditure for the Washington State
Convention was removed from the budget. She recognized the huge surplus and conservative budgeting.
Council President Johnson observed Ed!'s second priority was parking and asked whether the Board had
discussed where employee should park to allow for more customer parking. Mr. Doherty responded the
memo the EDC provided to the City Council and Mayor regarding parking issues was informed by the
work Ed! has done. In response, Mayor Earling established an interdepartmental team to work on parking
issues; the team includes a representative from Ed! as well as the EDC. Their second meeting will be held
tomorrow and will include discussion regarding the employee parking permit zone and its effect on the
availability of visitor parking.
Councilmember Teitzel recognized Ed! for their work and their presentation. He asked the annual cost of
the umbrellas program and the loss rate as well as how Ed! planned to address the use of the stands as
trash receptacles. Mr. Boehlke responded new containers will not allow garbage insertion. Mr. Rankin
advised the annual cost is approximately $8,000 and there is an approximately 30% loss rate, noting one
was recently discovered for sale at Goodwill. Mr. Boehlke commented Ed! does not consider umbrellas to
be lost, they are in the communities continuing to market Edmonds.

Councilmember Fraley-Monillas recalled business owners in the past have gotten behind in their dues.
She asked if there was better cooperation now and how dues in arrears were collected. Mr. Boehlke said
Ed! hired people in November to visit all members to get their input on what they need, grievances, etc. A
small number of businesses are in arrears. Mr. Doherty explained according to the established guidelines,
once a business in arrears, it is handled by the City's Finance Department.

6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Marlin Phelps, Edmonds, explained over 2 years ago the City turned off his water. The water bill was
paid, but his family, including his 78-year old mother, were without water for 6 days. After trying
unsuccessfully to get the City to turn his water back on, he turned it on himself and was arrested. The
City's Municipal Court Judge dismissed that charge but the City appealed the dismissal to Superior Court.
When the Superior Court kicked it back down to the Municipal Court, he told his attorney to appeal to the
appellate level, literally an appeal of an appeal at the appellate court, City of Edmonds v. Marlin Phelps.
His mother, who was present when he paid the water bill. He has made 11 attempts over 2 months on a
motion to have his mother deposed. His mother is now 80 years old, her cancer has returned and she is
unable to travel. He was told by the court clerk yesterday that he was put on the docket. He has reached
out to Mr. Taraday, Councilmember Buckshnis and Mayor Earling. His mother is a key witness to the
defense of something that has already been dismissed for lack of evidence. Any Councilmember could
call Judge Coburn and tell her to hear his motion. He needs a video deposition of his mother before she
dies.
Marjorie Fields, Edmonds, spoke regarding the Fire Department budget. She recognized the Council
had studied this issue long and hard but it appeared the study focused more on savings than enhancing
services. Edmonds citizens have not asked to save money on fire protection; such budget cuts should not
be done without consulting the affected public. Regardless of how it is rationalized, cutting personnel
cannot result in better service. She was especially concerned about reduced emergency medical coverage
in downtown Edmonds due to the number of older residents who generate emergency call and the
importance of response time. She urged the Council to reconsider the planned cuts to public safety.
Tom Nicholson, Edmonds, spoke in support of the Mayor's recommendation to modify the FD1
Interlocal Agreement. This reallocation of resources will not jeopardize public safety and is a responsible
action for the City budget. This adjustment of staffing will be a major step forward in balancing the public
need for emergency medical services and fire safety along with the reality of the City budget. His major
concern was the potential property tax increases that would result from the City not acting now to manage
ongoing increases in FD1's cost structure. This proposal will reduce the necessity for the City to
introduce levies or tax increases that would impact all resident and significantly impact the affordability
of living in the best small city in Washington.
Michael McConnell, representing the firefighters of Fire District 7 which covers Mill Creek to Monroe,
110 square miles and 110,000 people, urged the Council to take pause prior to reducing service in
Edmonds. That service and quality of life is not just dependent on the immediate response in Edmond but
has a regional effect. As departments move to the New World response system that has the closest units
respond, there is no consideration of jurisdictional boundaries. If each jurisdiction doesn't maintain the
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
December 13, 2016
Page 6
Packet Pg. 82
5.5.c
service levels expected by their citizens, it begins to rapidly deplete service in other jurisdictions. As
Everett has made similar cuts, Fire District 7 is responding deeper into Everett. Edmonds is a great place
to live but it is incumbent on the Council to maintain service levels and to maintain Edmonds' role and
leadership in regional service.
Kade Johnson, Edmonds, displayed the EpiPen he carries due to a severe allergy to peanuts and tree
nuts. If he accidentally eats something with peanuts or tree nuts, his throat swells, making it hard to
breath. The EpiPen is the first thing he needs to stop it; the second is for someone to call 911 so an
ambulance can take him to the hospital and it is important this all happens as quickly as possible. His
mom told him the Council was talking about having less emergency people and voting on a reduction
from 11 to 9; that scared him. He asked what happened if everyone was busy and it took longer for an
ambulance to reach him. He does his best to stay safe and avoid peanuts and tree nuts, but it is hard not
being able to eat the same things at parties that most kids do. His parents do their best to protect him by
telling everyone about his allergies and showing them how to use a EpiPen. He urged the Council to do
their best to protect kids like him who really need emergency services to be available quickly.
Josh Johnson, Edmonds, recalled hearing in the spring about proposals to cut emergency services and
after not hearing about it during the summer, they thought the idea had been dropped. Last week they
learned the Council was seriously considering cuts. They also learned last month the Council voted to
increase taxes for emergency medical service. One article states the importance of funding lifesaving
services and that taxes would be increased by 5.7%, yet the Council is considered cutting these services
by 20%. One month the Council voted to raise taxes; the next month they are considering lowering
services and cutting staff from 11 to 9. A nationally recognized standard for staffing a city like Edmond
recommends 15 EMS; the proposal is to go from 11 to 9, a 40% decrease. He was fine with paying more
taxes especially for EMS services for his son and others. He urged the Council to carefully consider this
decision.
Peter Gibson, Edmonds, referred to the math cited by Mr. Johnson, increasing taxes and reducing
services is silly and electeds should be able to figure that out. This proposal reminds him of a recent
election where he did not think something would happen; this spring there were discussions about
reducing services and now he feared the Council would vote to reduce services, a slap in citizens' faces.
He recalled talking to Councilmember Teitzel last week who told him the Council was voting to change
things, not necessarily decrease services and that FD1 could choose to staff the City the way they want
and the City would have to pay for it. He compared that to paying for chuck steak at the butcher shop and
asking for prime rib. He referred to comments his mother made last week when he was on shift as a
firefighter in Kitsap County regarding his father who passed away in 1997. He was that 4-year old
watching her do CPR for 7 minutes, the result of pre-2011 staffing level which it appeared the Council
wanted to return to. He urged the Council to vote correctly.
Nora Banks, Edmonds, said she and her husband are seniors and her husband has been the beneficiary of
not just good, but well delivered service that saved his life twice due to the prompt response. Her husband
has suffered two strokes and a heart attack and each time firefighters have gotten him to the emergency
room so quickly and so well prepared that they saved his life and he is now healthy and walking around.
She did not have statistics, only the request that when considering a reduction in staff, Councilmembers
think about the health and wellbeing of the people who voted them into office, think about someone
watching their house burn or someone's child that needs emergency care. When making a decision, she
urged the Council to keep in mind that the health and safety of citizens must always come first before
anything else and to stop seeing so many dollar signs.
Erin Zackey, Edmonds, introduced her children Quinn and Hazel, and relayed her mom being a
volunteer firefighter in the small town where she grew up gave her a deep respect for firefighters and their
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes

5.5.c
intense responsibility in the community. Today she and other teachers received annual training on the use
of EpiPens because of the number of students who need those service. With the number of schools in
Edmonds, she was concerned about efficient response times and having enough responders if there were a
natural disaster or numerous incidents occurring at the same time in local schools. A lot of young children
have more and food allergies. As a mom, she recognized that reducing lifesaving staff in Edmonds was
not appropriate. Her kids can be reckless and she did not want their put lives in jeopardy by not having
the needed service available. She urged the Council not to make cuts to Fire Department and to respect
and appreciate the service they provide.
Leslie Buchanan, Edmonds, said she did not come tonight with politics or numbers, she came with the
reality of life and death. Her family has been walking through the valley of shadow of death for about
year; Sunday night half the City's fire crew came to their home because they wanted to meet her husband
who is awaiting a heart transplant. She was very impressed with how caring the firefighters were and their
interest in learning about his situation and how they could assist in an emergency. She was shocked to
read in the paper about the proposed cuts and felt compelled to speak to the Council for her husband and
others who cannot come to the Council due to health issues. Speaking for those who do not have a voice,
she urged the Council not to make these cuts.
Jennifer Bardslee, Edmonds, said Edmonds is a wonderful place to live; it has a good reputation as a
place for families and retirees. She was willing to pay more taxes if it meant having a well -staffed fire
safety program. The Fire Department has assisted them three times, once when her 2-year old locked
himself in his bedroom; when both the carbon monoxide detectors went off, and when her child got his
finger stuck in the hold in a clipboard. Although these were minor things, at the time, these seemed like
big emergencies to her family; firefighters deal with all kinds of emergencies, big and small. She
acknowledged older people vote for school levies because they recognize the importance of schools; those
older people also rely on emergency services.
Todd Zackey, Edmonds, commented on the importance of maintaining the level of EMS service
downtown. Highly trained paramedics need to be downtown; City relying on resources from other areas
can be troublesome for residents as well as put others areas in jeopardy. Edmonds is in an active
earthquake zone and the City needs to be prepared for that; getting rid of critical staff will not help when
that occurs. The City is considering a railroad overpass to provide access for emergency services; there
need to be personnel to provide those services. He had no problem paying to ensure the services that are
needed are provided. At a minimum, the Council should consider giving the community the option to
decide rather than the Council making the decision. He encouraged the Council to make the right decision
but if they could not, allow citizens to make this important, life or death decision.
Erika Strauss, Edmonds, mom, resident, writer, local shopper and diner and earlier this year, a first-time
patron of local emergency services. She did not intend to support the local emergency crew; luckily her
husband called 911when she passed out on her kitchen floor. A crew of compassionate and phenomenally
able first responders whisked her to Swedish -Edmonds where the cause of her fainting was ruled to be an
undiagnosed electrolyte imbalance exacerbated by dehydration. Not a big deal but her heart could have
stopped if she not promptly and properly rehydrated. Her condition is not difficult to manage but the first
time in an aid unit and the emergency room was a wakeup call. Her situation could have been far worse if
not for the quick availability and the effective care of local emergency service. She was no sure whether
any Councilmembers had been a patient in an ambulance but in her experience, it tends to clarify what
you really care about. She reminded elected officials that the basis of community is caring for your
neighbor, care, compassion and protection of your neighbors, core values that the local government must
protect for Edmonds to maintain its unique and special quality. Nothing is more fundamental to great
communities than caring about your neighbors; she urged the Council to do everything in their power to
ensure full funding and support of the local emergency services, the very foundation of a community.

Mark Batrilla, Edmonds, said he spent 31 years with the Edmonds Fire Department. When he started,
there were 12 career firefighters at 1 fire station and 30+ volunteers. Over the years, the department
transitioned into a full-time Fire Department. The leadership at that time saw fit to bring advance life
support services with Medic 7 into this area which eventually grew to two paramedic units with two
paramedics at Lynnwood and Edmonds. It is well known in emergency circles that the best place to have
a heart attack is in Seattle; however, the statistics for southwest Snohomish County are even better than
Seattle's due to leadership making sure citizens have the best. He urged the Council not to settle for good,
but to keep the best.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, recalled speaking several years ago when the Council was considering
giving up the City's Fire Department and contracting with FD1. He agreed this was the safest area and did
not feel the cost savings warranted reducing service. He recalled early discussions about Woodway and
confirmed with an ex-Councilmember that when FD1 came to Edmonds, they were so enthusiastic about
selling the contract with the City, they did not feel including Woodway in the cost was important and they
were willing to pay the cost. He suggested research may find Edmonds is not obligated to pay
Woodway's share. Edmonds' Fire Department serves the community in a very well and citizens feel safe
and he did not think Councilmembers wanted to reduce service and increase fear. He has used the Fire
Department once and hoped it did not happen again. He joked the Mayor should worry about needing
emergency services, commenting they may not be available if he needed them. He urged the Council not
to cut emergency services and if they were worried about the cost, they should look into whether the City
was responsible for paying Woodway's share.
Peggy Farrah, Edmonds, downtown business owner, introduced her son Kristo and said as a former
healthcare administrator and non -clinical person, she often made decisions based on numbers and data.
Often the nurses and doctors that she managed were opposed to those decisions due to their real -world
experience. She was sure the Council had information that convinced them these measures would not
pose public safety issues because she was certain the safety of the public was in an elected official's
hearts. From her experience, some of the decisions made at the hospital turned out to be the wrong
decision; different decisions may have been made had more time been taken to listen to the front-line
workers doing the job. She encouraged the Council to take the firefighters' day-to-day experience into
account. She recalled in a letter to the editor in My Edmonds News suggesting the Council do ridealongs
with firefighters to spend time in the shoes of those delivering the services. She urged the Council to
consider that and to take more time to consider other options.
Andrew Matheson, Edmonds, commented every time he rides his bike, he puts on a bike helmet;
similarly, every time he gets in a car, he puts the seatbelt on and makes sure others in the car are wearing
their seatbelts. The chance of getting in an accident are pretty low on any given day, yet he puts his bike
helmet and seatbelt on every time. The report prepared by the consultant looked at call volumes and
expected outcomes for any given day; with the right budget and the right staffing, those expected
outcomes could be met with some margin of error. The report also cites national averages which include a
spike/anomaly in the numbers for 9/11. He pointed out the importance of being prepared to respond to
that spike which could be the result of terrorism, natural disaster, etc. He summarized it was a mistake to
staff based on the accidents that may occur on any given day; instead the City needed to be prepared with
the necessary emergency service. Voters have supported these services, speaking with their votes to say
emergency service are important to them. He suggested doing more due diligence regarding disaster
before making cuts.
Tim Hufty, Edmonds, pointed out there were no statistic on people walking into the fire station needing
help. Last August his dad visited Station 17 to get his blood pressure checked during the Tate of Edmonds
because he wasn't feeling well. He flatlined at the fire station and the firefighters brought him back. If

services are cut and EMTs and paramedics are shifted around so they are not available downtown, he
questioned what happened the next time someone walked in needing help. He recognized the electeds
have a tough job building and balancing a budget, but figured the last thing they would do would be to cut
public safety. He was ashamed and embarrassed and said there are other ways to cut the fat. He
questioned the Council raising taxes and then cutting fire service, questioning what was next — raising
water rates and telling him he can only use five gallons a day. Edmonds is growing and more services are
needed; the Council should look to the future and add firefighters, EMTs and equipment, not make cuts to
balance the budget. He was not in favor of raising taxes and preferred the Council figure out to make the
money work. As a business owner outside Edmonds, he suggested some fat could be cut from the City's
second floor.
7. ACTION ITEMS
1. AWARD OF EDMONDS VETERAN'S PLAZA PROJECT
Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite requested the Council award the bid to K-A Construction for
construction of the Veteran's Plaza. The Council packet contain a memo outlining previous action,
current bids that ranged from $290,000 - $472,000 and engineer's estimate of $285,000. She recalled the
Council bids previously rejected bid a few months ago at staffs requests when bids were $450,000 -
$700,000. The citizen committee has been working hard to raise money to construct the Veteran's Plaza;
to date they have raised $505,000. A donation in the amount of $4500 was received in the last two days as
well as commitments for $16,000, reducing the deficit of $67,000 to $47,000. Committee Co -Chair Maria
Montolvo has indicated a donor has committed $50,000 if it is needed. The Committee assures they are
committed to raising the rest of the funds and would like to have the bid awarded so that construction can
begin in January with the project completed in time for Memorial May.
Ron Clyborne, Edmonds, Co -Chair, Veterans Plaza Committee, representing the Edmonds Veterans
of Foreign Wars, American Legion and Vietnam Veteran of America, as well as all veterans past, present
and future, relayed their excitement about building this park plaza to honor and remember all veterans
past present and future.
COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO AWARD THE CONTRACT FOR THE EDMOND VETERAN'S PLAZA TO K-A
CONSTRUCTION AND AUTHORIZE A 10% MANAGEMENT RESERVE FOR UNFORESEEN
CONDITIONS DURING CONSTRUCTION.
Councilmember Tibbott said after reviewing the drawings, he was impressed with receiving a bid that
meets the objectives. He was supportive of the bid award and looked forward to completing the project
next year.
Councilmember Buckshnis said bravo, recalling the herculean effort to raise $8500 for the K-9 statue. She
thanked the veterans and other donors, commenting the plaza will be fabulous and she looks forward to its
completion. Mr. Clyborne recalled a Marine Corp saying, "when the going gets tough, the tough get
going." The community got it done, and have a plan for any discrepancy that arises. He pointed out
fundraising began approximately seven months ago and raised $475,000. Fundraising stopped because it
was believed there was enough but was restarted when more money was needed, raising another $45,000.
He assured any discrepancy could be handled.
Councilmember Nelson commented although he was sure the discrepancy could be handled, but if it
couldn't, he was certain the City would find a way to help out. He thanked Mr. Clyborne and all the
veterans for their service. He was sorry the Veteran's Plaza could be done sooner and looked forward to
its completion.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
2. POTENTIAL ACTION ON THE FIRE DISTRICT 1 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
Mr. Taraday explained this is a follow-up to last week's presentation. He reminded the Council what the
project with Fitch Associates was tasked with considering:
• If you were designing the Edmond Fire Department from scratch today, based on the data that
you have today, what would you design?
• How many firefighters would you plan to employ?
• Of those, how many would be paramedics?
Factors to consider include:
Geography of the City and FD1
o Map identifying the stations that Edmonds pays to operate 16, 17 and 20 and the other FD1
and Lynnwood stations.
Type of demand for service
o Primary demand is EMS
■ EMS 55.2%
■ EMS-ALS:30.3%
• Fire related 9.8%
■ Service 4.6%
■ Special Ops 0.2%
Frequency of demand for service
o Unit hour utilization by unit analysis indicates using 1/3 of the capacity provided by 11
firefighters in 3 stations today = 0.10 utilization rate
0 0.30 = IAFF standard utilization rate
o Consultant concluded actual usage is 0.10%, indicating there is a lot of capacity available in
the system
Equity among the various neighborhoods
o Currently only 2 paramedics for entire City, operating in the same unit at Station 17
o Currently the next closest paramedics are at Lynnwood Station 14 and Mountlake Terrace
Station 19
o Takes only one paramedic call to completely wipe out paramedic services in the City
■ If two heart attacks happen at the same time, the second one waits for either Lynnwood
or Mountlake Terrace to respond
o Under Mayor Earling's recommended proposal, Alternative 2, paramedic proximity improved
with one paramedic located at Stations 16, 17 and 20 as part of a cross -staffed unit
■ Allows for the possibility of three dispatches requiring a paramedic capability
■ Paramedics often double dispatched, but it is not always necessary
- Dispatcher can decide whether double dispatch necessary
Means to evaluate the service over time
o Utilization of 0.25% at any one of three station is the threshold to trigger negotiations with
FD1 to bring utilization rate to a more reliable rate.
Cost (last but not least)
o $1.36 million difference in cost between current staffing and the recommended proposal
Mr. Taraday explained the issue of cost is frustrating for the City and probably for FD1 because neither
party is fully in control of what they pay firefighters because are subject to interest arbitration which
means FD1 cannot say how much they will pay firefighters. FD1 does not have the same ability to control
costs that a typical employer has; under State law, labor unions such as IAFF have a lot of power to set
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes

5.5.c
compensation levels according to what other agencies are paying. As a result, it costs a lot to maintain a
Fire Department.
Mr. Taraday highlighted the proposed action:
• Motion to direct City attorney to bring back for final action an ILA that contemplates use of Fitch
Alternative 2.
o ILA not ready for approval yet; FD1 and the City still have work to do.
o Helpful for both negotiating teams to get direction/confirmation that the Council supports the
proposed alternative staffing model
■ If the Council does not support the proposed alternate, that will change the negotiations.
COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TIBBOTT, TO
DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO BRING BACK FOR FINAL ACTION AN ILA THAT
CONTEMPLATES THE USE OF FITCH ALTERNATIVE 2.
Councilmember Mesaros commented tonight the Council heard testimony from citizens about the
importance of emergency medical services. He supports the proposal because it increases EMS services,
increasing from two paramedics to three. Several audience members commented on how quickly
emergency services arrived and he pointed out if that were a paramedic call, a second call may have to
wait for a unit from Lynnwood or Mountlake Terrace; this solve that problem.
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled in 2009 Lora Petso, Adrianne Fraley-Monillas and she were citizen
advocates opposed to selling the City's Fire Department to FD1. They were later selected to assist with
selecting the consultant who would help the Council understand. FD1 Commissioners have said they will
sever the contract with Edmonds if Edmonds does not pay Woodway's share of the cost. A very diligent
and pragmatic process has taken approximately 14 months to complete. The Fitch report is a fresh set of
eyes. FD1's report, done in February 2016, says about the same thing as Fitch's report. If citizens are
interested in a public safety levy, she will lead that charge, commenting that is what should have been
done in 2009.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said one of objections when the previous Council and Mayor sold the
Fire Department was that the cost would eventually be higher. Although it was easy to say the savings
was only $1.36 million, she questioned where cuts could be made to provide those funds — police, roads?
She pointed out certain revenue sources must be used for certain expenditures. Fire and Police are paid
from the General Fund, a huge cost to the City. The first -year savings are $1.36 million. FD1 firefighters
haven't negotiated their contract this year and she expected costs to increase next year. The City needs to
have some control while still providing a good or same level of service that has been provided in the past.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked who Mr. Taraday has been negotiating with and whether it was
with the labor union or the FD1 Commission. Mr. Taraday answered the negotiating team was two FD1
Commissioners, FD1 Chief, Assistant Chief and FD1's attorney. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked
who negotiated with the union. Mr. Taraday answered FD1 leadership. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas
asked if the FD1 Commissioner had discussed Alternative 2 with Local 1828. Mr. Taraday answered he
did not think there had been a formal conversation, certainly union membership was aware of the
proposal. FD1 does not need union permission to make this change.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas observed there was potential that staffing issues, layoffs, etc. could be
addressed during FD1 and Local 1828' negotiations. Mr. Taraday answered when FD1 and the union
bargain a contract, many issues are considered, not the least of which is compensation. He reiterated
compensation was driven by comparable fire agencies. FD 1 may have aspirations to pay a certain amount,
but in the end under State law they pretty much have to pay what the comps show. Although the City is
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes

Packet Pg. 88
5.5.c
limited in increasing the levy 1%/year, the interest arbitrators are not limited and can and do award more
than a 1% increase in compensation. The system is set up in a manner that costs will exceed revenue.
For Councilmember Fraley-Monillas, Mr. Taraday said under the City's current arrangement with FD1,
the City pays for certain minimum staffing levels. FDI can assign additional staff to the Edmonds stations
but that does not commit Edmonds to pay for the additional staff. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked
if FDI would need to return to the City if they decided to add staff to the Edmonds fire stations. Mr.
Taraday said he watched the FDI Board meeting on Wednesday; it is extremely unlikely that the Board
would assign staff to Edmonds stations without Edmonds committing to pay for it. Councilmember
Fraley-Monillas said she was disturbed by the lack of communication between the Commission and their
labor union, envisioning this may not have been as dramatic if there had been better communication.
Councilmember Tibbott requested staff describe the increase in the EMS levy, where those funds come
from, how they are used, and why that is not enough to cover the current level of service. Finance
Director Scott James responded the 2017 EMS levy is $3,9790,000; the cost for EMS services far
surpasses that levy amount. The EMS levy cannot be raised without a vote. Councilmember Tibbott
observed approximately $4 million is the most that can be raised via the EMS levy and the additional
amount comes from other sources. Mr. James said the cost of Alternative 1 is $7,400,000 which includes
fire service, Fire Marshal, Fire Inspector, apparatus replacement, etc. As Mr. Taraday indicated,
approximately 85% of the services provided are EMS. Applying that 85% to the total cost, approximately
$6 million is for medical -related responses.
Councilmember Tibbott summarized taxes have been raise the maximum allowed by law. Mr. James
agreed, they had been raised to the maximum amount without a vote. He explained EMS is limited to
$050/$1000 assessed value by State law; the 2017 levy will be approximately $0.48/$1000 which is still
not enough to cover EMS services.
Councilmember Tibbott referenced the tax increase voters in Snohomish County approved for fire
protection. Mr. James explained FDI citizens approved an increase; Edmonds is not in FDI so that
increase does not affect City residents. Residents of Esperance are affected by the increase as are other
properties in FDI outside of Edmonds. Councilmember Tibbott observed the new ILA with FDI would
allow the City to receive funds from Esperance to offset costs. Mr. James said the $7.4 million includes
all costs for the three stations, less the EMS taxes generated by the Esperance area, $1,117,000. The
remainder, $4,727,000 is paid by the City of Edmonds.
Mr. Taraday pointed out under the original agreement with FDI, 13.08% of the three -station cost was
allocated to Esperance; if that were applied to the new levy amount, the $1,117,000 the City receives to
offset the cost via the Esperance property tax revenue would not be enough to pay for 13.08% of the
status quo system delivery model, essentially meaning Edmonds would be subsidizing Esperance
fire/EMS services. Under Alternative 2, the property tax revenue received from Esperance more or less
equals the 13.08% share.
Councilmember Tibbott asked about the revenue source for the former Medic 7 stationed at Stevens
Hospital. Mr. James answered it was his understanding it was the EMS levy and compensation from the
partner cities. He offered to email Councilmembers that information.
Councilmember Teitzel pointed out there have been comments that service in Edmonds will be cut but it
was his understanding there will be no cuts; the 2 FTEs from 11 to 9 would be reallocated elsewhere in
FDI. Mr. Taraday agreed, pointing out FDI operates 12 fire stations, 3 of which are in Edmonds. It was
his understanding there is enough need in the employment applicant pool that the proposed changes could
be absorbed elsewhere in FDI and there would not be any layoffs.

5.5.c
Councilmember Teitzel asked about FDI's plans to reallocate those two position and whether they would
possibly allocate one to the Mountlake Terrace fire station thereby improving response time on an ALS
call in the Lake Ballinger area. Mr. Taraday relayed his understanding Station 19 currently has 3
firefighters on duty at a time. He asked if Councilmember Teitzel's question was whether FD1 might
increase that to 4. Councilmember Teitzel answered possibly. Mr. Taraday answered the discussions with
FD1 leadership have not gotten into that level of detail. FD1 is the expert on how to deploy crews.
Councilmember Teitzel asked if the two reallocated firefighters could potentially be used to improve
mutual aid response from a station outside Edmonds to an Edmonds call. Mr. Taraday said he could not
speculate regarding how FD1 would reassign those firefighters. Edmonds will not lose any paramedics,
the two existing paramedics will be in different units and a third paramedic will be added.
Councilmember Teitzel observed when the original FD1 model was developed, Woodway was part of it.
In January 2014 Woodway joined Shoreline Fire and their call demand was shifted to Shoreline. He asked
if the departure of Woodway created excess capacity especially in Stations 17 and. Mr. Taraday did not
know how much call volume was associated with Woodway but whatever that volume was, its absence
represents a reduction in demand.
Councilmember Nelson pointed out there are currently three paramedics on duty in the City of Edmonds
at times, one at Station 20 and the two at Station 17. Mr. Taraday agreed that occasionally happens.
Councilmember Nelson commented because he likes to do his homework, he met with FD1 Chief
Reading, Lynnwood Fire Chief Cockrum, rode on the fire rescue boat and fire engine 16 and responded to
multiple medical calls. He toured the City's oldest and most populated buildings, learning their unique
risks to fire danger. He researched the National Fire Protection Associations standards and even the
consultants' reports for other cities. The Council may think the consultant give them everything they need
to know to make cuts but he questioned what they really knew about the information presented like the
recommendation to remove the downtown fire engine and have less firefighters at night, the graph that
indicates most emergency calls do not happen at night. For example there are very few fire calls at night.
He looked this up and compared it to the national average and it matches. However, something the
consultant's graphs do not show that the national graph do is that although 20% of all fires happen at
night, they account for 52% of all home fire fatalities. He questioned whether the Council really wanted
to downgrade the fire service from a report that downplays fire dangers and suggested telling that to the
families of the four people who died in fires in Everett last winter, the mother who lost her three children
to a fire in Centralia this March, the 15 business owners in downtown Bothell who lost everything this
summer.
Councilmember Nelson continued, the City's firefighter are heroes, but they are not superheroes; they are
mere mortals called upon to do extraordinary tasks. They cannot do their job to protect us with one hand
tied behind their back. One person can do CPR chest compressions 120 times/minute for only so long
before they physically tire out and have to stop; stopping means death. Another person has to replace
them; it is a physically demanding job to save lives. Our firefighters cannot keep us safe if they do not
have a sufficient amount of people and equipment. So are we really enhancing our fire services. The
International Association of Fire Chief's website has webinars on best practices and new developments
from experts. He listed titles of webinars, Track Fire Department Training with a Purpose, Statistical
Methods in Fire Service, Community Risk Reduction, Critical Success Factors for Fire and Rescue
Leaders, Must -Have Policies for Every Fire Department, Fire Prevention Risks in Local Communities and
Critical Questions Every Fire Chief Should Ask Their City/County Managers, a webinar by the
consultants, Stephen Knight and Bruce Moeller, where they state the most important questions for a fire
chief involve understanding the economic and political realities facing your agency, understanding the
economic motivators for requests for efficiencies, developing a framework for navigating the economic
realities of change in your agency. He pointed out that was who the Council was basing the type of fire
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes

5.5.c
service the community needs; their job is to give cities cover to make cuts. That is why it matters how the
problem is framed.
Councilmember Nelson said if the Council thinks we should operate as a business, which some
Councilmembers do, then looking for efficiencies is perfectly logical. The Finance Director says this
makes good business sense. The fire consultant looks for return on investment and the City Attorney cite
financial savings. But if the Council is looking for efficiencies as part of a business model, every city
department would fail looking through that lens. As a professor of economics in Forbes Magazine
recently wrote, does it makes sense to run government like a business? The short answer is no. Efficiency
in the private sector means profit. The problem is that not everything profitable is of social value and not
everything of social value is profitable. The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corp, Police Department,
Fire Department, libraries, parks, public schools are social value yet they could not exist if they were
required to be profitable. Imagine maintaining the military by selling subscriptions door-to-door. Profit is
the realm of business while unprofitable but socially useful tasks are the responsibility of government.
Somewhere along the way the Council has forgotten what its role is. The Council's function is not
maintain a profit for shareholder; its role is to protect citizens from all injuries however small, large,
likely or unlikely. It has always been expensive to save lives and it always will be.
Councilmember Nelson continued, there is a reason the City Council is tasked with this choice, not the
FD1 board, not the fire chief, not the consultants. The Council must decide the level of safety for the
community, how much a life is worth to protect. He asked whether this proposal was really the best way
forward for fire service. He believed it was not and believed cutting the number of firefighters and having
only three emergency vehicles available instead of four was very risky. He believed increasing demands
on the paramedics and sharing with neighboring cities will not benefit Edmonds. He believed not holding
FD l administration accountable to respond to emergencies with the minimum amount of people within a
specific time like every other city in the country is inexcusable. He believed Edmonds could do better,
find a better way to pay for the best fire service the City can afford. He believed the Council should
prioritize saving lives over saving money and hoped the Council would join him in opposing these cuts.
Council President Johnson recalled testimony about families concerned about protecting their loved ones
and concerns about safety and agreed safety was the number one priority. As her parents aged, she called
the Fire Department on several occasions, many times because she needed assistance picking her parent
up from the floor and fortunately four trips to the hospital that were considered basic life support. One
dreadful call required advanced life support and every second meant the difference between life and
death. She appreciated the work firefighters do and she was a happy customer. Having said that, she
believed having three paramedics cross -trained with firefighters was better than one two -paramedic team.
For that reason she will support the proposal with the idea it will be monitored and possibly there could
be a levy in the future or a different combination of personnel.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she wished Councilmember Nelson was here in 2009 when the City sold
the Fire Department. She emphasized there was a reopener in the ILA. Although Fitch found there was an
underutilization, FD1 is doing a good job. If the City maintains the status quo, FD1 Commissioners have
said they will sever the contract. The City and FD1 both had reports prepared and both say about the same
thing. If the community is interested in a levy, she will help. She noted one of the issues was firefighters
want a 72-hour work day and some Councilmember do not support that.
MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER NELSON VOTING NO.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess. Councilmember Nelson left the meeting at 8:59 p.m.

1. FEMA FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP (FIRM) UPDATE
Senior Planner Kernen Lien explained this is a briefing on the FEMA FIRM which identify flood plains
throughout Snohomish County. The limited amount of flood plains in Edmonds are identified in the maps
continued in Exhibits 1-4 in the Council packet. He displayed a sample FIRM that includes the Edmonds
Marsh and the near waterfront area. The existing maps were established in 1999; FEMA is updating the
maps following studies of the flood plains through Snohomish County. The City's flood plains are
primarily along the shorelines. A coastal flood hazard study along the Snohomish County shoreline had
36 transects. Transect locations and density based on:
• Shoreline characteristic
• Shoreline direction
• Nearshore bathymetry
• Wave dynamics
• Land use and development
He displayed a Coastal Analysis Modeling Comparison, guidelines for coastal flood hazard mapping and
analysis for Pacific Coast of the United States January 2005, highlighting the old approach and new
approach for analysis method, wind data, water level model, wave model, topography and study
resolution. He pointed out the old approach to topography and establishing contours was USG Contour
Maps and the new approach is LiDAR data.
Mr. Lien displayed an aerial of Existing and Updated Flood Plain Comparison — Waterfront Area created
by overlaying GIS layers on the map. He identified old and new flood plains, explaining the old maps did
not establish a base flood elevation, 100-year flood level. The new maps establish base flood elevation: 12
feet in the near waterfront area. He displayed an aerial of Existing and Updated Flood Plain Comparison —
Shell Creek area, identifying flood plains on the old and new map and noting the flood plain in this area
was reduced to only the mouth of Shell Creek. He displayed an aerial of Existing and Updated Flood
Plain Comparison — Lake Ballinger, advising there were no changes to the flood plain around Lake
Ballinger in Edmonds' jurisdiction.
FEMA will open a four -month appeal/comment period in January/February to gather any other technical
information regarding base flood elevation. A public meeting will be held in Everett in January/February
on the flood plain maps. A bigger issue in Snohomish County and the nation that does not affect Edmonds
is dikes and what do behind the dikes. Staff does not believe any of the information in the updated flood
maps is incorrect or needs refinement. Tonight's presentation to Council is information only.
Councilmember Mesaros referred to page 239 of the Council packet, a map illustrating the Edmonds
Marsh, and asked if global warming and sea level rise in 20-40 years had been taken into consideration.
Mr. Lien said the map update did not look out that far. It does take into consideration wave action; he
pointed out areas with a 16-foot base flood elevation and the 12-foot base flood elevation, commenting
the higher base flood elevation is an area subject to more wave action. The map will continue to be
updated periodically.
Councilmember Mesaros commented a new community center is being built on the waterfront; most new
buildings are expected to last 50 years. He recalled the Council approved plans that raised the elevation 2
feet but feared that may not have been enough. Mr. Lien recalled the evaluation of sea level rise arose
during the Shoreline Management Plan update; no new information regarding sea level rise has been
developed recently. The policies regarding sea level rise state the City will stay abreast of the issue. One
of the studies this spring with Sustainable Cities is evaluating the impacts of sea level rise on the near
waterfront area. Councilmember Mesaros commented sea level rise also had the potential to impact the
wastewater treatment plant.

For Councilmember Tibbott, Mr. Lien explained the 12-foot base flood elevation is a 100-year flood
event which means a 1% chance in any given year of a flood event of that level. Councilmember Tibbott
recalled the senior center is at 14 feet. Mr. Lien identified the senior center in the 12-foot base flood
elevation area. Councilmember Tibbott recalled the Council added 2 feet. Mr. Lien explained changes
made during the CAO update included requiring all structures within the coastal flood hazard area to be
built 2 feet above base flood elevation and a change to the definition of height allowing the zoning height
to be measured from 2 feet above base flood elevation. For Councilmember Tibbott, Mr. Lien identified
the old mapped flood plain and the expanded base flood elevation on the new FIRM.
Councilmember Buckshnis observed daylighting of Willow Creek would impact flood control. Mr. Lien
responded daylighting will not impact the identified flood plain area. The mean higher high tide for Puget
Sound is approximately 10 feet; 100-year flood event is 2 feet above that. Daylighting Willow Creek
would not impact that. Councilmember Buckshnis asked whether the Edmonds Marsh acting like a
sponge and able to absorb more would have an impact. Mr. Lien answered given this is in the coastal
flood hazard area, water from Puget Sound will cause flooding. Wetlands will absorb water from Willow
Creek and Shellabarger Creek. In coastal flood hazard areas, flooding is a combination of those sources.
Council President Johnson referred to the map with Edmonds Marsh and asked if flooding in this area
occurred only once in 100 years particularly at Dayton & SR-104. Public Works Director Phil Williams
answered those statistics are projected using historical data and it is unknown how accurately that will
predict the future. Council President Johnson asked if he had seen more than one flooding event in that
area during the six years he has been with the City. Mr. Williams acknowledged rainfall events have been
more frequent and more intense than what the historical record projects. That is different than flooding
events which may be short and intense and create localized flooding.
Council President Johnson commented the systems are related. She observed the flood gate is closed six
month of the year to prevent flooding. Mr. Williams acknowledged there was interest in having tighter
control on the flood gates, including developing criteria for their use, possibly installing motorized valves,
etc. Those issues will be considered during the detailed design of Willow Creek daylighting. Currently the
flood gates are closed and opened on dates certain which has generally worked well. Finer control and
more accurate predictions based on forecasts, etc. would be helpful. Council President Johnson
commented there was information available that could be used such as tide charts, phases of moon and
weather forecasts. She expressed interest in looking at that issue in greater detail. Mr. Williams agreed it
would be during the design of the Willow Creek daylighting project.
Council President Johnson inquired about the status of the lift station in the parking lot. Mr. Williams
answered there are two lift stations in this area and a third will be added with the stormwater pump station
at Beach Place. Lift stations do not necessarily cease to function in a flood but they could; it is not ideal to
have water flooding the pump stations. Council President Johnson summarized there is a lot of water in
this area from streams, stormwater, etc. and the buildings are vulnerable. The new waterfront/senior
center will be built at elevation 14, 2 feet above its current elevation but that is next Puget Sound's 13-
foot base flood elevation. She asked the relationship between 13 and 12-foot base flood elevations. Mr.
Lien pointed out the sea wall along the waterfront; development of the community center will include
additional work in that area. The primary difference between the 13- and 12-foot base flood elevations is
13 feet is out in the water versus in the landward area. He pointed out an area to the south with a 16-foot
base flood elevation including wave action.
Council President Johnson looked forward to the information the students will produce related to climate
change. She asked the timing of that relative to the FIRM. Mr. Lien said the 4-month comment period

will open in January/February. FEMA will respond to comments, issue the maps in fall 2017 and they
will be effective in early 2018. He did not expect the flood plains in the waterfront area to change much.
2. PRESENTATION OF A TIB GRANT FOR CONSTRUCTION FUNDING FOR THE 76TH
AVE & 212TH ST. INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS
Public Works Director Phil Williams thanked Council President Johnson for her service as Council
President this year. He explained there are two projects, 1) rebuild the intersection creating more
geometry to accommodate concurrent left turns to increase efficiency, and 2) working with two other
cities and the Verdant grant to construct bike lanes on 761h from 220`h to 2001h. The two projects will be
bid in one package this spring. When the project was put out to bid last year, a limited number of bids
were submitted and the bids were higher than the available budget and the engineer's estimate. Staff
subsequently applied for and received a TIB grant for $2.245 million. Funding for the project is $9.07
million; $6.05 million or 73% of the total project cost will be provided by 3 grants — the TIB grant,
approximately $4 million from the original federal grant and $460,000, the City's share of the Verdant
grant. The Utility Funds will pay most of remaining cost due to installation of new stormwater, water and
sewer facilities within the project limits.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL,
TO APPROVE A TIB GRANT FOR CONSTRUCTION FUNDING FOR THE 76TH AVENUE &
212Tn STREET INTERSECTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. (Councilmember Nelson
was not present for the vote.)
3. APPROVAL OF EXPENDITURE FOR HISTORIC INFORMATION PANELS
Councilmember Teitzel commented the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) has been working on
this for approximately two years. The HPC's focus is preserving the memory of what Edmonds once was
through both designating historic buildings for designation on the historic register as well as
identify/preserving historical places. As the City recently celebrated its 125'h anniversary, the HPC felt it
important to focus on the waterfront area which was heavily populated with mills in the early years. None
of the mills remain and the waterfront is now occupied by parks restaurants and the marina. The HPC
developed a concept to place an informational panel on the south end of Sunset Avenue with a historic
picture taken about 1900 showing what the waterfront looked like. The photograph, attached to the
Council packet as Exhibit 3, shows mills at work emitting smoke and steam and a steam locomotive
northbound on the tracks. The panel would be installed at the approximate location where the historic
photo was taken along the southern end of Sunset Avenue, allowing the viewer to compare the current
scene with the scene approximately 100 years ago.
A second panel would be mounted in the Yost Park in front of a well-preserved old growth cedar stump
that still bears the springboard notches used by the logging crew, featuring a photo of a two man crew
manually felling a giant cedar while standing on spring boards as well as a photograph of horse-drawn
carts bringing the logs to the cedar mill on the waterfront. The photograph of the horse drawn cart is taken
in front of the Housewares store and Chanterelle's building.
Each panel costs $4900 to produce and mount; in-house labor will be used to install the sign. Arts &
Culture Program Manager Frances Chapin will take the lead on the project. The exhibits in the Council
packet are drafts and he anticipated the text would be refined. The panels would be a great addition to the
City, an opportunity for the Council to gift them to the community to help preserve the memory of early
Edmonds. He requested Council approval of an expenditure of $9800 from the 2016 Council Contingency
Fund.

COUNCILMEMBER TIBBOTT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS, TO
APPROVE THE EXPENDITURE OF $9800 FROM THE 2016 COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas recalled hearing about this project from former Councilmember Petso.
Although she generally approved of the panels, she suggested it should be reviewed by the Planning
Board and/or Arts Commission for placement, size, etc. before Council approval of the funding. She
noted allocating $10,000 to this project because there was money left over was not a good use of the
City's funds. Further, it was not a gift to the community, it was the citizens' money. Until this project
went through the proper channels, she foresaw better uses for $10,000 such traffic calming.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she liked the idea, but a few citizens have contacted her inquiring about
size and use of sustainable materials. She agreed further process may be necessary before it is funded.
Councilmember Teitzel said he met with Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite, Ms. Chapin, Arts
Commission Vice Chair Samantha and Senior Planner Kernen Lien to discuss the need for consistency
with other signs such as the diorama of the Olympic Mountains at Marina Beach. These signs would be
similar in size and design. He assured Ms. Chapin would be cognizant of consistency of the design,
minimizing the cost, ensuring the correct placement and ensuring the signs are not obtrusive.
Councilmember Tibbott said he had no problem with allocating the funds followed by Planning Board
review. It was his understanding the project had already vetted through cultural services and the Art
Commission. He sees the project as an exciting way to preserve the City's history. He supported
approving funding for the project followed by opportunity for additional review and feedback.
COUNCILMEMBER TIBBOTT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS,
TO AMEND TO ALLOCATE FUNDS NOW, BRING THE SIGNS BACK THROUGH THE
PROCESS AND BRING BACK TO COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION.
Council President Johnson did not support the amendment. As a regular visitor to Yost Park, she felt a
sign of that nature would be out of proportion and scope; it is a very natural area with a map with
numbers available on a handout. That could be done for pennies, saving $5000 She concluded a 60-inch
sign would be obtrusive.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked Council President Johnson if she wanted this vetted by the Arts
Commission. Council President Johnson answered that was a possibility, recalling cross -approval have
been done such as the Stages of Time which was developed by the Arts Commission and presented to the
HPC for approval. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas assumed the Planning Board consideration would
following the Arts Commission's review and would include consideration of the size, placement, code
requirements, etc.
AMENDMENT CARRIED (5-1), COUNCIL PRESIDENT JOHNSON VOTING NO.
(Councilmember Nelson was not present for the vote.)
COUNCIL PRESIDENT JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ONLY THE PANEL
SHOWING THE SAWMILLS.
Council President Johnson recalled three locations were under consideration for the sign containing the
photograph of the sawmills and suggested the location needed to be confirmed. She was opposed to
having a panel in Yost Park.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether the Planning Board and/or Arts Commission could
determine the location and size. Council President Johnson answered the Planning Board is also the Parks

5.5.c
Board so it would be appropriate for them to consider the sign. She supported further review by the Arts
Commission and Planning Board, concluding the idea was good but it needed further study.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked why Yost Park was selected versus another park. Councilmember
Teitzel answered Ms. Hite and Parks Maintenance Supervisor Rich Lindsay and he toured Yost Park to
find a suitable cedar stump. There is an extremely well preserved stump in Yost Park that would be
outstanding for this purpose. He acknowledged there could be stumps elsewhere in Edmonds although
Mr. Lindsay was not aware of them. It would be a great experience for a passerby to see this photograph
and the stump in its natural state instead of going to the Museum. Ms. Chapin is the lead on this project;
she will ensure the signs are appropriately sized and vetted.
AMENDMENT FAILED (1-5), COUNCIL PRESIDENT JOHNSON VOTING YES.
(Councilmember Nelson was not present for the vote.)
Council President Johnson commented there is a cedar stump with springboard notches in City Park.
MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED (5-1), COUNCIL PRESIDENT JOHNSON VOTING
NO. (Councilmember Nelson was not present for the vote.)
4. COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND EXPENDITURE TO EDMONDS VETERANS PLAZA
FOR $4,000
Councilmember Buckshnis commented several Councilmembers have veterans in their families and one
Councilmember is a veteran; it is appropriate for the Council to provide support for the project.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS,
TO APPROVE $4,000 FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND FOR THE EDMOND
VETERANS PLAZA. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. (Councilmember Nelson was not
present for the vote.)
5. STUDENTS SAVING SALMON FOR 5 733.25 METER OR $5 800 FROM COUNCIL
CONTINGENCY FUNDS
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to the Students Saving Salmon's (SSS) report on page 369 of the
Council packet. The new meter will collect turbidity data which the old meter does not; the old meter will
still be used as a back-up.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO APPROVE $5800 FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FOR STUDENTS
SAVING SALMON TO PURCHASE A METER.
Councilmember Tibbott asked how often the equipment would need to be replaced, relaying his
understanding that parts needed to be replaced annually. Joe Scordino said there is a three year warranty.
Councilmember Tibbott asked if additional equipment will need to be purchased. Councilmember
Buckshnis answered SSS would like to do additional testing; the SSS received a $1000 discount on the
meter. Councilmember Tibbott expressed his support for the motion, commenting it was remarkable how
involved the students are and the important service they are providing to the City. The City is getting a
tremendous bang for the buck and involving future generations in the health of the City.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. (Councilmember Nelson was not present for the vote.)

hold while staff focuses on the budget. He reported on the well -attended World Cafe sponsored by the
Diversity Commission which included discussion of real life scenarios related to diversity and inclusion.
Councilmember Buckshnis reported the Tree Board is planning their 2017 schedule. Each Tree Board
member went to Tree University and received diplomas which qualifies the City for a bonus award from
Tree City USA. Three application were received for one Tree Board vacancy and one alternate position.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas reported the Diversity Commission meeting included discussion
regarding questions for the World Cafe as well as about the election. She encouraged the public to attend
Diversity Commission meetings which are held the first Wednesday of the month from 6 to 8 p.m. She
reported the Health District Board met several times during the past month; a decision was made to sell
the building in Everett. The District uses only half the space and approximately $2 million in repairs are
needed. made. The District's intends to purchase a smaller building to house only the Health District. She
also attended the Housing Task Force meeting.
10. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling reported Mr. Williams, Mr. Doherty and he were in Washington D.C. on Thursday and
Friday last week. They had an opportunity to meet with Congressman Kilmer who lives on the Kingston
side; the Edmonds at -grade crossing project impacts residents who live and work on that side. They also
met with Congressman Larson who has been an advocate for grade separation, Senator Cantwell, and the
lead transportation person in Senator Murray's office as well as with the Federal DOT to provide a better
understanding of Edmonds' project as well as getting important feedback on the grant process and
funding prospects in the next 1-2 years.
Mayor Earling thanked the Council for not having meetings the next two Tuesdays, a welcome break for
everyone. He wished citizens and Councilmembers a very compelling and gratifying season.
11. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas explained Councilmembers on the dais are bundled up because the heat
from the large number of audience members during the last two meetings activated the air conditioning.
She reported on her visit to the cold weather shelter last week where 37 people were sheltered, 30 men
and 7 women. The cold weather shelter is held at the Edmond Senior Center when temperatures reach 34
degrees is sponsored by 5 churches. She spoke with several of the people at the shelter, learning the cities
they are from and the issues that bring them to Edmonds. When she left at about 9:30 after everyone had a
hot meal, visited and began going to sleep, the temperature in her car was 27 degrees. She wondered
where those 37 people have been if not for the shelter or where they would have found shelter if the
temperature had been above 34 degrees. She was told by one of women that the shelter is the only safe

place she can sleep because men and women are separated at the cold weather shelter which is not done at
most other shelters. She thanked the churches who provide food and supervision of the people at the cold
weather shelter and wished everyone a Happy Holiday.
Councilmember Buckshnis wished everyone a Happy Holiday, to be safe and to enjoy the time off. She
thanked Council President Johnson and Council President Pro Tern Mesaros for their service. She looked
forward to next year, commenting her focus will be on the wonderful things happening locally because

A few large stumps like this one showing notches from logging at the turn of the 20th century
are still visible from trails throughout Yost Park. The Edmonds area once supported a dense oLd-
growth forest dominated by Western Red Cedar and Western Hemlock. When the area was settled
by non- indigenous people in the mid-1800s, there were trees up to 700 years old, 230 feet tall and
13 feet in diameter. These Large trees kept the forest floor in perpetual shade, creating a space for
the variety of plants and animals that flourished in the understory and forest floor.
The 1870s saw the beginning of systematic clearing of Edmonds' old -growth forest by loggers using
hand tools. The Loggers who cut trees were called "fallers." Using their axes, they cut notches in the
trunk for springboards which they stood on while felling the tree with a crosscut saw. Horses and
oxen teams were used to skid logs to the waterfront mills where they were converted to shingles
and other lumber products and shipped by rail or water to markets from Alaska to California. By
1910, Washington was the nation's Largest Lumber -producing state.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 07/31/2017
Social Worker Interlocal Agreement
Staff Lead: Jim Lawless
Department: Police Services
Preparer: James Lawless
Background/History
As part of the 2017 City budgetary process, City Council designated $50,000 for the purpose of funding a
part-time social worker position. The goal of employing the social worker is to bridge the gap between
law enforcement and that portion of the population who may experience issues with mental health,
substance abuse, homelessness and other social service needs.
As the Lynnwood Police Department had established a Community Health and Safety Section several
years ago, they had explored the idea of incorporating an embedded social worker into the program,
after working closely (for several years) with the YWCA and several other non -profits for social services.
The hope was to partner with the Lynnwood Police Department once they had defined the position,
acquired funding from the Lynnwood Council. This partnership would be in the manner of an Inter -local
Agreement (ILA) for services and cost sharing for the salary of the Lynnwood employee.
This item was presented to the Public Safety and Personnel Committee on July 25th, 2017 and
forwarded to full Council for approval via the consent agenda during the July 31, 2017 Regular Business
Meeting.
Staff Recommendation
Given that Council has authorized funding and the Lynnwood Police Department has finalized the
position (duties and responsibilities) and it's corresponding pay scale, as well as the fact that this item
was presented to the Public Safety and Personnel Committee on July 25th, 2017, staff requests that the
attached ILA be approved by Council and forwarded to the Mayor for signature.
Narrative
Attached is the Inter -local Agreement scheduled to be presented to the Lynnwood City Council on
August 8th, detailing the sharing of a Community Support Specialist/Social Worker between the
Lynnwood and Edmonds Police Departments. The individual selected for this position shall be a
Lynnwood Police Department employee who will coordinate with the Edmonds Police Department in
order to provide services to various portions of the Edmonds community. Also detailed within the ILA is
the cost sharing formula (66% City of Lynnwood and 33% City of Edmonds). Based upon that formula,
under the current pay scale range identified by the City of Lynnwood, the maximum cost to Edmonds for
salary and benefits would range from $26,211 - $34,103 annually.
Also included in this packet is the position description for the Community Support Specialist/Social

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LYNNWOOD,
WASHINGTON AND THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON
FOR A COMMUNITY SUPPORT SPECIALIST/SOCIAL WORKER
THIS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT ("Agreement') is made and entered into on this day
of , 2017, by and between the CITY OF LYNNWOOD, a Washington municipal
corporation ("Lynnwood") and the CITY OF EDMONDS, a Washington municipal corporation
("Edmonds"), each party having been duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Washington.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Lynnwood and Edmonds each require the services of a Community Support
Specialist/Social Worker to address the complex social issues of homelessness, substance abuse and
mental health; and
WHEREAS, Lynnwood is authorized by law to hire and retain an employee to provide
community support services to its community and its police department; and
WHEREAS, Lynnwood continues to require Community Support Specialist/Social Worker
services for the benefit of Lynnwood; and
WHEREAS, Lynnwood is amenable to allowing Edmonds to compensate Lynnwood in
exchange for receiving services that will be performed by the Lynnwood Community Support
Specialist/Social Worker under the employment, direction, and supervision of Lynnwood; and
WHEREAS, RCW 39.34.080 and other Washington laws authorize any public agency to
contract with another agency to perform services and activities that each such public agency is authorized
by law to perform; and
WHEREAS, Lynnwood and Edmonds have considered the costs for such services and skills
required, and determined it is in each of their best interests to enter into this Agreement as authorized and
provided for by RCW 39.34.080 and other Washington law to share such services in cooperation with
each other; and
WHEREAS, this Interlocal Agreement was authorized by the Lynnwood City Council on
, 2017 and the Edmonds City Council on _ , 2017;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, the payments to be made, the
mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1
Packet Pg. 111
5.6.a
Purpose: The purpose of this Agreement is to clarify the conditions under which Lynnwood will
provide the following services to Edmonds:
a. Lynnwood shall employ a Community Support Specialist/Social Worker (the "LSW").
The LSW shall have the qualifications and shall perform the work, functions and services
described in Attachment A, attached hereto and incorporated by this reference. The LSW
shall be employed by Lynnwood at all times, and shall be under the direction,
supervision, and control of Lynnwood.
b. In return for compensation, Lynnwood shall direct the LSW to provide Edmonds with
services for approximately 33% of the LSW's total work time at mutually agreed upon
days and times. Both parties accept and acknowledge that there will be minor variations
to the 67% of the total time to Lynnwood or 33% of the total time to Edmonds. It is
considered impractical to insure precise distribution due to the variation of workload

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 07/31/2017
Public Hearing on Highway 99 Planned Action Ordinance (30 min.)
Staff Lead: Shane Hope
Department: Development Services
Preparer: Denise Nelson
Background/History
Revitalizing the Highway 99 area has been a goal of the City Council and the public for years. Over time,
various studies were developed and several transportation safety projects were planned. However, a
clear vision and a broad -reaching strategy for the future had not been articulated. In early 2016, based
on a budget allocation approved by the City Council, work began on a new Highway 99 Subarea Plan,
planned action EIS, and implementing development regulations.
Significant public information and input were provided.
Staff Recommendation
Consider the information and recommend City Council adoption of the Planned Action Code for the
Highway 99 Subarea.
Narrative
Planned Action Code
The Growth Management Act and the State Environmental Policy Act provide for a "planned action"
process that jurisdictions can use to streamline the environmental review process for projects that
have already been covered by an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) developed for a subarea. This
is, in part, because the EIS will have analyzed impacts of development and identified mitigation
measures to address the impacts.
To memorialize the EIS work for the subarea, cities may adopt a "planned action ordinance" or code
that specifies the type and amount of development that may be allowed to proceed in the subarea
without additional SEPA review. All other applicable laws and regulations would still apply.
A draft planned action code (see Attachment 1) was prepared for the Highway 99 Subarea Plan based
on an EIS. The initial draft was reviewed in June by the Planning Board and by the City Council on July 18.
The Planning Board held a public hearing on the draft planned action code on July 26. The draft
minutes of July 26 hearing were not available at the time this agenda was being prepared but will be
provided to the City Council prior to the Council's July 31 meeting.

and Final EISs shall comprise the Planned Action EIS. The mitigation measures contained in
Exhibit B are based upon the findings of the Planned Action EIS and shall, along with adopted
City regulations, provide the framework that the City will use to impose appropriate conditions
on qualifying Planned Action projects.
C. Planned Action Designated. Land uses and activities described in the Planned Action
EIS, subject to the thresholds described in subsection ID and the mitigation measures
contained in Exhibit B, are designated Planned Actions or Planned Action Projects pursuant to
RCW 43.21C.031. A development application for a site -specific Planned Action project located
within the Highway 99 Subarea Planned Action Area shall be designated as a Planned Action if it
meets the criteria set forth in subsection ID of this ordinance and applicable laws, codes,
development regulations and standards of the City.
D. Planned Action Qualifications. The following thresholds shall be used to determine if
a site -specific development proposed within the Highway 99 Planned Action Area is
contemplated by the Planned Action and has had its environmental impacts evaluated in the
Planned Action EIS:

EXHIBIT B
Highway 99 Subarea Plan
PLANNED ACTION EIS MITIGATION DOCUMENT
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requires environmental review for project and non -
project proposals that may have adverse impacts on the environment.
In order to meet SEPA requirements, the City of Edmonds issued the Draft Highway 99 Planned
Action Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on June 2, 2017 and the Final Highway 99 Planned
Action EIS on XXXXX, 2017. The Draft and Final EIS are referenced collectively herein as the
"EIS." The EIS has identified probably significant impacts that would occur with future
development in the Planned Action area, together with a number of potential measures to
mitigate those significant impacts.
The purpose of this Mitigation Document is to establish specific mitigation measure for qualified
planned action development proposals, based on significant impacts identified in the EIS. The
mitigation measures would apply to future development proposals that are consistent with the
planned action development envelope reviewed in the EIS and that are located within the
Planned Action area (see Exhibit A).
USE OF TERMS
Brief definitions of terms used in this Mitigation Document are provided below.
SEPA Terms
The discussion of mitigation measures may refer to the word's action, planned action or
proposal and for reference, these terms are defined below:
• "Action" means projects or programs financed, licensed, regulated, conducted or
approved by an agency. "Project actions" involve decisions on a specific project such as
a construction or management activity for a defined geographic area. "Non -project"
actions involve decisions about policies, plans or programs (WAC 197-11-704)
• "Planned Action" refers to types of project actions that are designated by ordinance for
a specific geographic area and addressed in an EIS in conjunction with a comprehensive
plan or subarea plan, a fully contained community, a master planned resort, a master
planned development or phased project (WAC 197-11-164).
• "Proposal" means a proposed action that may be an action or regulatory decision of an
agency, or any action proposed by applicants (WAC 197-11-784)
Other Terms
The Planned Action area may be referred to as the Highway 99 Planned Action Area, Highway 99
Subarea, project area or project site in this document.
Highway 99 Subarea Plan — Planned Action Ordinance

J U LY 2017 - DRAFT
6.1.a
General Interpretation
Where a mitigation measure includes the words "shall" or "will," inclusion of that measure is
mandatory in order to qualify a project as a Planned Action. Where "should" or "would" appear,
the mitigation measures may be considered by the project applicant as a source of additional
mitigation, as feasible or necessary, to ensure that a project qualifies as a planned action and/or
to reduce or avoid impacts.
Unless stated specifically otherwise, the mitigation measures that require preparation of plans,
conduct of studies, construction of improvements, conduct of maintenance activities, etc., are
the responsibility of the applicant or designee to fund and/or perform.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED UNDER THE PLANNED ACTION
The proposal reviewed in this EIS include designation of the Highway 99 Subarea (see Exhibit A)
as a Planned Acton area for the purpose of SEPA compliance, pursuant to RCW 43.21C.440 and
WAC 197-11-164, adoption of comprehensive plan amendments for the Highway 99 Subarea,
and adoption of zoning code amendments addressing zoning classifications, design standards,
parking standards. The planned action designation would encourage redevelopment in the
Highway 99 Subarea to create increased housing choices and an attractive pedestrian -oriented
streetscape, provide opportunities for medical services growth, provide for enhanced multi -
modal mobility, and provide for a greater mix of uses in the subarea. Under this Planned Action,
redevelopment would add about 3,013 new jobs and 3,325 new housing units through 2035.
MITIGATION
Based on the EIS, which is incorporated by reference, this Mitigation Document summarizes
significant adverse environmental impacts that are anticipated to occur in conjunction with the
development of planned action projects. Mitigation measures, identified in the EIS, are
reiterated here for inclusion in conjunction with proposed projects to mitigate related impacts
and to qualify as planned action projects.
Consistency review under the Planned Action, site plan review, and other permit approvals will
be required for specific development actions proposed under the Planned Action designation
(WAC 197-11-172). Additional project conditions may be imposed on planned action projects
based upon the analysis of the Planned Action in relationship to independent requirements of
the City, state or federal requirements or review criteria.
Any applicant for a project within the planned action area may propose alternative mitigation
measures, if appropriate and/or as a result of changed circumstance, in order to allow an
equivalent substitute mitigation for identified impacts. Such modifications would be evaluated
by the City SEPA Responsible Official prior to any project approvals by the City.
As permitted by WAC 197-11-660, there may be some adverse impacts that are unavoidable
because reasonable or feasible mitigation cannot be achieved for the Planned Action

J U LY 2017 - DRAFT
6.1.a
The combination of regulations applicable to each element of the environment and mitigation
measures identified in the EIS and documented in this Mitigation Document that are applied to
any planned action proposal will adequately mitigate all significant environmental impacts
associated with planned action proposals, except for those impacts that are identified as
significant unavoidable adverse impacts.
Mitigation measures are provided below for each element of the environment considered in the
EIS.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
The EIS identifies significant impacts, unavoidable adverse impacts, and mitigation measures for
potential impacts associated with land use, plans and policies, aesthetics, transportation, and
public services and utilities. Please refer to the Draft and Final EIS for complete text associated
with each element of the environment. The following lists all mitigation measures applicable to
impacts for each element of the environment.
Land Use Mitigation Measures
Incorporated Plan Features
The zoning code includes provisions to minimize the impacts associated with increases in
building height and changes in land use patterns under the Planned Action. The proposed
Subarea Plan includes policy language in support of the proposed stepback development
regulations, which are intended to help mitigate for potential land use conflicts around the
edges of the subarea.
Applicable Regulations and Commitments
Zoning designations provide sufficient capacity to accommodate the City's growth targets for
the subarea. When combined with the City's remaining existing development and design
standards, the Planned Action stepback standards will mitigate for land use incompatibilities in
areas where the updated CG zone abuts single family zones.
Additionally, existing development and design standards require site design to be compatible
with existing and planned character of the nearby area. Applicable site development standards
include those for setbacks, screening and buffering, site design, lighting, building design and
massing, and others.
Other Mitigation Measures
No additional mitigation measures are recommended.
Plans and Policies
Incorporated Plan Features
The locally -designated role of the Highway 99 Corridor will continue to be maintained and
reinforced through the plan vision for a high density, walkable mixed -use neighborhood with
urban amenities.

6.1.a
J U LY 2017 - DRAFT
Within the Planned Action, amendments to the Comprehensive Plan clearly identify three
distinct districts anchored around major transportation gateways and employment clusters,
such as the hospital and international businesses (Recommendation 3.1, February 2017 Draft
Highway 99 Subarea Plan). These amendments will bring the Comprehensive Plan and
recommended Highway 99 Subarea Plan into alignment.
Regulations and Commitments
As required by the Growth Management Act (GMA), the draft Subarea Plan and regulations have
been submitted to the Washington Department of Commerce for review and comment prior to
final adoption.
Other Mitigation Measures
No additional mitigation measures are recommended.
Aesthetics Mitigation Measures
Incorporated Plan Features
The City's Highway 99 Corridor and Medical/Highway 99 Activity Center Comprehensive Plan
Map designations within the Comprehensive Plan will guide aesthetic improvements under the
planned action. Such improvements shall make the area more attractive and pedestrian friendly
by:
• ensuring that the design of new development contributes to the quality and character of
the area
• encouraging a variety of building types
• using landscaping and buffering to soften street fronts and to provide transitions between
more and less intensive uses
• fostering distinct sub -district identities consistent with the Highway 99 Corridor Vision.
Additionally, the Planned Action contains policy guidance and recommended transportation
improvement projects that are intended to enhance the aesthetics and urban design of the
study area and support the community's vision for the future neighborhood character of the
corridor. The policy guidance calls for improvements in signage and wayfinding, using design to
strengthen business opportunity, development of a unique district design identity, supporting
building types and uses typical of vibrant urban corridors, and making code updates to support
more pedestrian- and transit -friendly building forms and streetscapes.
Regulations and Commitments
Development under the Planned Action will be required to comply with existing development
and design standards including those for setbacks, screening and buffering, site design, lighting,
building design and massing, and others. These standards require site design to be compatible
with existing and planned character of the nearby area.

J U LY 2017 - DRAFT
Additionally, the Planned Action stepback standards provide for transitions in building height
and bulk between portions of the subarea zoned for the highest intensity uses and adjacent
single family zoned areas.
Other Mitigation Measures
No additional mitigation measures are recommended.
Transportation
Incorporated Plan Features
The City of Edmond's existing planned transportation improvements will help to mitigate for
traffic impacts. The near -term and long-term transportation improvements in the Subarea Plan
will contribute to the underlying infrastructure that creates transit, pedestrian, and bicycle -
friendly places and will indirectly help to mitigate for traffic impacts.
Regulations and Commitments
Near -term and long-term transportation improvements identified in the proposed Subarea Plan
will be incorporated into the Comprehensive Transportation Plan's capital improvement
projects. The current Comprehensive Transportation Plan process (updating the Plan in a cycle
approximately every six years) will be the mechanism for monitoring the LOS at impacted
intersections.
The City's current six year Transportation Improvement Program will be used to prioritize
projects and identifying funding. Flexibility will be built into each cycle of this program to modify
the priority and funding of the capital projects serving the study area as new development
occurs and creates opportunities for matching funds from private development; redirecting
project priorities and timing to coincide with major developments.
The City will leverage the proposed Subarea Plan and Planned Action Ordinance to request early
distribution of state funds ($10,000,000) earmarked for Highway 99 within Edmonds in the
State's Ten Year Transportation Investment Plan. Additionally, the City will continue to compete
for funding from state and federal grants and continue to watch for potential new funding
sources.
Other Mitigation Measures
The EIS analysis indicates that mitigation for traffic impacts of improvement projects under the
Planned Action would occur in two stages.
Stage 1
The City will work with Community Transit to identify and help implement Transportation
Demand Management (TDM) mitigation measures to potentially reduce intersection level of
Highway 99 Subarea Plan — Planned Action Ordinance
15
Packet Pg. 140
6.1.a
J U LY 2017 - DRAFT
service impacts under the No Action and Preferred Alternatives. The City may also consult with
Sound Transit and the Washington State Department of Transportation on this subject.
Residential (any size), commercial (under 25 employees), and mixed -use developments may
select from a menu of TDM measures specifically assembled for these types of land uses. The
City will work with Community Transit and, if appropriate, other agencies, to develop guidelines
and worksheets for property owners or tenants of new developments to formulate a trip
reduction plan, provided that where the proposed development already incorporates measures
that encourage vehicle trip reduction or transportation demand as part of its proposal . Where
specific trip reductions plans are required, plans must be submitted to the Development
Services Department prior of building permit application unless a different schedule has been
approved by the Development Services Director. The Department will consult with Community
Transit on the commute trip reduction plans and recommend any changes..
Developments comprised of larger employers are required to develop and implement TDM
plans tailored to their workforce. Employers with 25 to 100 employees are required to develop a
TDM plan selecting from the menu of TDM measures described above, or customize their own
plan. TDM plans for employers with 100 employees or more must conform to the requirements
of the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) law that is part of the Washington Clean Air Act (RCW
70.94).
Menus of TDM strategies should include tiers of measures that have varying levels of
effectiveness and cost including but not limited to measures within the following broad
categories and associated example measures:
• Financial incentives, amenities and perks:
o Fully or partially subsidized transit passes
o Carpool/vanpool subsidies such as fuel vouchers, provision of vehicles, full or
partial coverage of vehicle lease, fuel, insurance and maintenance
o Car share membership for use by registered carpool and transit commuters
o Emergency ride home program
o Company vehicle available for employees who commute by alternative modes
o Prize drawings to employees or residents who commute by alternative modes
o Subsidized off -site services such as fitness center, daycare, dry cleaning, bicycle
repair and maintenance, etc.
o Service provided, or delivered, on -site such as dry cleaning pickup and delivery,
ATM machine, fitness center, daycare, etc.
• Parking Management Strategies
o Charge market rate for employee parking
o Parking cashout program
o Preferential parking for carpool/vanpools
o Restrictions or limited on -site parking
Highway 99 Subarea Plan — Planned Action Ordinance
16
Packet Pg. 141
6.1.a
J U LY 2017 - DRAFT
o Unbundled parking
o On -site bike share and/or car share facilities
• Support Strategies and Assistance
o Part or full-time on -site TDM coordinator
o Commute options package for new employees and/or residents
o Commute alternative information kiosk or website
o Rideshare matching program
o Discounts on purchasing bicycles and accessories
o Sponsored events promoting alternative commute options
Note: Except where required by law or as a condition of approval, monitoring, refinement, and
maintenance of individual TDM plans by new development is voluntary after the initial submittal
for plan approval.
Stage 2
The City will implement new capacity -enhancing mitigation measures for intersection impacts
under the Preferred Alternative. The following new intersection capacity -enhancing mitigation
measures will be incorporated into the City's standardized six -year Transportation Improvement
Program process for funding and prioritizing transportation projects:
• State Route 99 / 220th Street SW — Widen State Route 99 to add a second southbound
left turn lane. This intersection is projected to operate at LOS F under buildout of the
Preferred Alternative, exceeding the standard of LOS E even with implementation of the
improvement called for in the 2015 Comprehensive Transportation Plan to widen 220th
to add a westbound right turn lane and a second westbound left turn lane, and an
eastbound right turn lane.
• State Route 99 / 224th Street SW — Convert the eastbound approach of 224th Street SW
to provide an exclusive right turn lane, a shared through/right turn lane, and an
exclusive left turn lane, or an alternate design as confirmed by further study. This
intersection would operate at a LOS F under buildout of the Preferred Alternative. This
intersection was not studied in the 2015 update to the Comprehensive Transportation
Plan and, therefore, does not currently have any planned improvements.
Additionally, the City will take steps to enable the new capacity -enhancing mitigation measures
when and if monitoring shows that the measures are required, and implement the
improvements, as the following opportunities arise:
• Require any new development, redevelopment or site improvements requiring a
building permit on the properties adjacent to the impacted intersections to not
construct any form of structure or infrastructure (except landscaping or other
Highway 99 Subarea Plan — Planned Action Ordinance
17
Packet Pg. 142
6.1.a
J U LY 2017 - DRAFT
streetscape improvements) on, under, or above the right of way potentially needed to
be acquired for the intersection capacity improvements.
• Coordinate with WSDOT and adjacent municipalities on the potential land acquisitions
needed for the intersection capacity improvements located within their jurisdictions
and, if possible, request the adjacent municipalities to apply the same building
restrictions.
• As funds become available through the City's Transportation Improvement Program
process, construct the capacity improvements. This may include acquiring the necessary
right of way from adjacent property owners through purchase or negotiated dedication.
Public Services
Incorporated Plan Features
Proposed transportation projects under the sub -area plan would improve pedestrian and bicycle
character, access, and mobility within the study area, particularly crossing Highway 99. As such,
east -west access across Highway 99 to park and recreation facilities would improve.
The sub -area plan provides greater incentive for mixed -use and commercial development in
proximity to existing infrastructure on SR-99, making more efficient use of available stormwater
capacity. Additionally, planned streetscape improvements under the Action Alternative would
increase landscaping along the street — trees and other landscaping provide a natural ability to
absorb stormwater and release it slowly to the atmosphere.
The City will continue to pursue energy efficiency measures to reduce energy consumption,
thereby reducing stress on Snohomish County PUD as residential and jobs growth occurs. The
sub -area plan encourages sustainable building practices, including considering requiring electric
vehicle charging facilities and encouraging solar panels (Recommendation 2.2 and 2.3, February
2017 Draft Highway 99 Subarea Plan).
Regulations and Commitments
Police
The Police Department will implement the 2016 agency goals to the extent feasible in its 2016-
2021 Multiyear Strategic Plan. These goals include:
• bringing the Street Crimes Unit and second K-9 team back on line
• partnering with City Council and the Edmonds School District to secure funding for a
School Resource Officer for Edmonds-Woodway High School
• establishing by policy the Peer Support Team to assist Department members and their
families in time of need
• working with SNOCOM and Bair Analytics to secure a crime analysis workstation which
interfaces with records management and helps bring a public crime mapping portal on-
line

6.1.a
J U LY 2017 - DRAFT
As recommended in the 2016-2021 Multiyear Strategic Plan, the Police Department should
maintain, at a minimum, the current staffing ratio of 1.35 commissioned officers per 1,000
residents. Additionally, the Police Department should continue looking to future budget cycles
and preparing to pursue and justify the addition of commissioned staff as the economic climate
allows.
As recommended in the 2016-2021 Multiyear Strategic Plan, the Police Department should
restore the Crime Prevention Officer position to aid the Department's ability to conduct crime
prevention training and strategies for businesses, apartment management, various concerned
groups, and individuals.
Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Ongoing capital facilities improvement, budgeting, and operational planning by Fire
District 1 and the City of Edmonds are anticipated to address incremental increases and
other changes in demand for fire services, including the need for additional personnel,
additional apparatus, and facility improvements. Fire District 1 recently completed the
first Phase of a Capital Facilities Plan which evaluates existing conditions, including an
inventory and assessment of existing facilities. Phase 1 of the plan indicated a need for
minor near and mid-term maintenance and repairs at Stations 16 and 17, as well as
potential seismic or safety upgrades. Station 20 is identified as one of 5-6 stations
throughout the district which should be considered for replacement to support operation
needs and code deficiencies (Fire District 2016c, 46, 48, C 114-C 145). Phase 2 will
forecast future needs and phase 3 will provide an estimate of capital facility funding
necessary to execute the plan, an implementation timeline and a recommended funding
approach.
All potential development in the study area will be constructed in compliance with the
City's current Fire Code (ECDC 19.25), which is comprised of the 2015 International
Fire Code with Edmonds Amendments. Adequate fire flow to serve potential
development will be provided as required by the Fire Code. Potential development will
also be required to comply with code requirements for emergency access to structures.
The Department of Fire Prevention also reviews proposed street improvements on a
project —by -project basis to identify potential negative impacts on response times and
ensure street improvements are consistent with the City's Fire Code.
A portion of the tax revenue generated from potential redevelopment in the study area
would accrue to the City and Fire District 1 to help fund additional fire and emergency
medical services.
Schools
Ongoing capital facilities improvements, budgeting, and operational planning by the
District, in conjunction with the City of Edmonds, are anticipated to accommodate
projected student enrollment at acceptable levels of service over the next twenty years.

The School District will continue to replace, expand, modernize, and upgrade District
facilities as approved by voters in the 2014 Capital Construction Bond and should
implement the goals identified in Edmonds School District's Strategic Direction (ESD
2014).
Parks and Open Space
The City will, to the extent feasible, implement goals identified in the 2014 Parks,
Recreation, and Open Space Plan which improve the park system within or near the
study area to address geographic gaps in service (Edmonds 2014, 4-1 — 4-11).
Specifically, impacts identified in the EIS should be mitigated by:
• Expanding the partnership with the Edmonds School District, including negotiating an
agreement for expanded, year-round public use of school grounds, sports fields and
gyms for recreation purposes (Goal 1.A).
• Exploring property acquisition and development with partners, including the School
District, Snohomish County and other public and private entities — continue to partner
with neighboring and overlapping jurisdictions (cities, counties, school districts) as well
as private entities (i.e. churches) to expand recreation opportunities for the community;
continue discussions for possible acquisition of Esperance Park from Snohomish County
for annexation and redevelopment into a community park with sports fields, community
gardens, picnic shelters, and other recreation features; and consider acquisition of
County park land within or adjacent to Edmonds (if made available), such as Chase Lake
(Goal 2.C).
• Acquiring park land in the Highway 99/SR 104 areas to provide adequate park service in
redeveloping areas. Create new civic spaces to enhance investment and revitalization
while meeting recreation needs, especially where service gaps exist, or higher
residential impact is planned (Goal 2.G).
• Defining the best routes for and treatments to create central north -south and east -west
pedestrian and bicycle corridors, incorporate these into the City's transportation plans,
and implement improvements (Goal 2.N).
• Increasing connections to the Interurban Trail, using signage, sidewalks, curb extensions,
and other pedestrian/bicycle enhancements, especially focusing on crossing Highway 99
(Goal 2.0).
• Strongly considering the formation of a Metropolitan Park District in order to sustain the
level of quality expected by the community while growing to meet future needs
(Edmonds 2014, 5-5).
Electricity
Ongoing capital facilities improvements, budgeting, and operational planning by
Snohomish County PUD are anticipated to address incremental increases and other
changes in demand for electricity. Depending on the level of development and associated
new loads, feasibility studies should be conducted for individual projects as part of the
Highway 99 Subarea Plan — Planned Action Ordinance

development review process. System capital projects should be developed to meet the
demands of future loading if capacity improvements are necessary (Ha pers. com).
Stormwater
Any redevelopment or new development under both alternatives would be subject to
today's stricter regulations governing stormwater. Green design and construction
methods should be employed in buildings, streetscapes, and drainage features to detain
and treat stormwater (Ecology 2014, 8-10).
The City's Storm and Surface Water Management Comprehensive Plan (2010) will guide
infrastructure improvements. Specific elements of the stormwater improvements will be
defined by the requirements of the State -mandated NPDES Western Washington Phase II
Municipal Stormwater Permit. Under this set of regulations, the City maintains measures
to protect and improve runoff conditions in relation to the receiving waters. The City of
Edmond's stormwater management requirements and ongoing efforts are included in:
• Edmonds Community Development Code 18.30 and Stormwater Code Supplement to
18.30 (Edmonds 2010b; Edmonds 2016c) — the City is nearly finished updating the
Stormwater Code and Supplement, anticipated to be adopted January 1, 2017
(Cawrsepers. com)
Storm and Surface Water Management Comprehensive Plan (Edmonds 2010a)
Stormwater Management Program Plan (Edmonds 2016f)
Other Mitigation Measures
Police
The City will monitor growth and demand for police services in the study area in order to
determine if/when additional personnel are needed and will regularly review trends to
ensure the Police Department has enough advance time to address the needs.
New development under the Planned Action will employ Crime Prevention through
Environmental Design (CPTED) techniques - incorporation of design features into
development that would help reduce criminal activity and calls for service, including
orienting buildings toward the sidewalk and public spaces, providing connections
between buildings, and providing adequate lighting and visibility.
Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
The City will monitor growth and demand for fire and emergency medical services in the
study area in order to determine if/when additional personnel, equipment, or facilities are
needed and will regularly review trends to ensure the City and Fire District 1 have
enough advance time to address the needs.

J U LY 2017 - DRAFT
The City and Fire District 1 should work together to plan for pedestrian improvements,
such as wider sidewalks, to ensure that the opportunity for emergency vehicle
maneuvering is maintained.
Additionally, the City should continue efforts to find sufficient resources to retain and
improve Fire District 1's current level of services provided. Efforts include exploring
additional funding sources — such as a Fire Benefit Charge or Levy Lid Lift; pursuing
ways to reduce unnecessary costs/eliminate redundancy, including potential opportunities
to partner with neighboring cities, Fire District 7, and other Fire Protection agencies
through regional consolidation; and planning for the possible formation of a Regional
Fire Authority in South Snohomish County.
Schools
The Edmonds School District tracks information on growth in enrollment and demand for
educational programs offering across all grade spans in the region, including the study
area, as part of its determination about if/when additional personnel or facilities are
needed. The City will periodically review trends and information from the Edmonds
School District, to ensure the City and the Edmonds School District have enough advance
time to address the needs, including grade configuration, optimum facility size,
educational program offerings, classroom utilization, scheduling requirements, and the
use of temporary classroom facilities.
Additionally, the Edmonds School District will continue to evaluate both condition and
capacity of existing facilities at Westgate and Sherwood Elementary Schools to
determine if capital improvements are needed.
Parks and Open Space
The following steps should be taken to mitigate for impacts to Parks and Open Space
under the Planned Action:
• Require on -site open space as a residential amenity for new development.
• Encourage and promote public open spaces through public/private partnerships where
possible.
• Implement pedestrian and bicycle transportation improvements to provide greater
access to existing facilities within one-half mile of the study area, with a focus on
removing Highway 99 as a physical barrier.
• Existing recreational programs may see increased enrollment and increased revenue as
people living in the study area enroll in more programs. This increased enrollment may
marginally help offset the costs of providing additional facilities
Electricity
The following steps should be taken to mitigate for impacts to the electrical grid under
the Planned Action:

Review of Proposed Highway 99 Subarea Plan and Development Regulations (15 min.)
Staff Lead: Shane Hope
Department: Development Services
Preparer: Jana Spellman
Background/History
Planning for the Highway 99 subarea has been actively underway since the beginning of 2016.
Revitalization of this area (including highway corridor improvements) has been a high priority for the
City Council.
Public process for this project has included:
Community visioning workshop
Key stakeholder interviews
Technical advisory committee
Two public open houses
Online survey
Social media announcements
Press releases
Local news coverage
Dedicated webpage with information updates
Mailings to local property owners/residents
Email announcements
Several Planning Board meetings
Planning Board public hearings (with public notice)
Several City Council meetings
City Council public hearings (with public notice)
A draft Highway 99 Subarea Plan was recommended by the Planning Board and presented at a City
Council public hearing on February 21, 2017. Comments and discussion ensued. The City Council had
further review and discussion at a March 21 meeting. This was followed by minor clean-up and
clarification of the draft plan. On June 6, the Council again reviewed and discussed the plan. The draft
Highway 99 Subarea Plan, which is the same as previously reviewed except for minor "housekeeping"
changes, is attached (Attachment2).
Draft development regulations to implement the plan were discussed by the Planning Board several
times. On May 10, the Planning Board held a public hearing on the draft regulations and, after
discussion, recommended their adoption by the City Council. The Board also held a supplemental public
hearing on June 14 and, after formally considering the factors required for zoning map (rezone)
amendments, recommended approval by the Council. The City Council reviewed the recommended
development regulations and zoning map changes on June 6. Later (on June 20), the City Council held a
Packet Pg. 149
7.1
public hearing on the Highway 99 Area development regulations and zoning map amendments. This was
followed by a City Council meeting on July 18 to again review the draft development regulations and
also begin initial review of the draft planned action ordinance. (Relevant minutes for the July 18 meeting
are in Attachment 1.)
Staff Recommendation
Concur or direct that ordinances be prepared for Council action on August 15.
Narrative
The proposed Highway 99 Subarea Plan (see Attachment 2) presents a vision and strategy for revitalizing
and enhancing the Highway 99 area. It has been prepared in consultation with state and regional
transportation agencies, as well as with adjacent jurisdictions, and in a manner consistent with the state
Growth Management Act. When adopted, the Subarea Plan becomes a component of the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed development regulations for the CG Chapter of the city code (see Attachment 3)
implement the Highway 99 Subarea Plan and establish new standards, including new "greener"
requirements to require electric vehicle charging stations, encourage transit use and pedestrian activity,
and add clear design requirements, including for site layout, landscaping, amenity space, and building
design. Based on Council direction, the CG development regulations (Attachment 3) have been slightly
revised slightly from the Council's July 18 meeting. The revised version adds a requirement, as
recommended by the Council, that no vehicle parking be allowed within the first 20 feet of a building
facing the primary street frontage. Also, a new clarification is also proposed that would allow a
reduction in the total number of bicycle storage spaces when the bicycle storage is provided in a
common area of the building and additional bicycle racks are available for visitors. NOTE: Revisions
from July 18 are shown on Attachment 3 in red font. Finally, Attachment 4 contains minor changes to
the sign code, which the Council has previously reviewed. The changes would prohibit new tall pole
signs in the Highway 99 area. (See Attachment 4 for this sign code amendment.)
Next Steps
July 31 City Council Meeting:
Concur or direct that ordinances for the Subarea plan, zoning map, and development regulation
be prepared for the August 15 meeting

Councilmember Fraley-Monillas was excited about the future of the Hwy 99 corridor and was pleased to
hear clarification about the space between a residential development and an existing neighborhood. It was
her understanding there would be 5 feet for streetscape, 10 feet for a pedestrian zone and 25 feet for an
activity zone. Ms. Hope clarified there is a 5-foot streetscape zone, 5-10 feet for a pedestrian zone and 1.5
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

Packet Pg. 155
— 2 and up to 10 feet for an activity zone. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked about development across
the street from a residential neighborhood. Ms. Hope answered there would be a 15-foot setback, 10 feet of
which has to be landscaped and if buildings are above 25 feet, each segment must have a l0-foot stepback.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to a single family residential across the street from development
and asked the typical width of a street. Ms. Hope answered streets would typically be 60 feet plus the 10-
20 foot setback. The street in the photograph she displayed as an example is 30 feet; Highway 99 is 100
feet wide. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented this gives the opportunity for residents to not live
in the shadow of a building. She asked if a 75-foot high building would be 6 or 7 stories. Ms. Hope answered
it would typically six. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she has researched 4-6 story buildings in the
area and found the setback was important for single family neighborhoods.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to the options for parking, agreeing that Option A would be more
beneficial. Ms. Hope agreed, pointing out it addressed the appearance and avoids visible vehicle parking.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented regardless of the location of the parking, the primary frontage
of the building would be glass. Ms. Hope agreed.
Councilmember Tibbott asked if the windows on the primary frontage would be transparent windows. Ms.
Hope answered they must be transparent. Councilmember Tibbott commented on the value of not having
parking behind the transparent windows. He asked if it would be possible to have a storefront with parking
behind. Ms. Hope answered yes. Councilmember Tibbott observed charging stations and bicycle storage
are requirements not incentives. Ms. Hope agreed.
Councilmember Johnson pointed out the reference to primary roads and suggested using the functional
classification system such as principle arterial, collector street, etc. Ms. Hope said the terms used in the
plan were more user friends and they were defined. Councilmember Johnson suggested it would be better
to use the functional classification to be consistent with Transportation Element. Ms. Hope said the intent
was to be descriptive.
Councilmember Johnson asked how the alternative walkable parking designed works with a new dealership,
recalling two dealerships have expanded in the past year. Ms. Hope answered the consultant was very
cognizant that auto dealerships were an important source of revenue balanced with having the standards
apply equally; there is a practical reason for having something different for vehicle sales facilities. Several
areas in the code state, "other than as allowed for vehicle sales use."
Councilmember Johnson asked if there were any incentives for energy efficiency such as LEED or Build
Green buildings. Ms. Hope said there was interest in that for this area and throughout the City and staff has
been working with regional partners on options for incentives but it was not ready to be included in this
plan. Often the incentive is it saves money in the development long term or makes it a more attractive
development for tenants. To promote LEED, the City would include that information in the building notice,
etc. Providing a break in the permit fees is also something the Council could consider separately.
Councilmember Teitzel observed the draft regulations require amenity space equally at least 5% of the
building footprint but there is no requirement that that space be publicly accessible. Ms. Hope answered a
developer wants areas that are private for the tenants; there is also a requirement for the first 10-20 feet in
open pedestrian space. Councilmember Teitzel asked if a portion of the 5% of amenity space could be
publicly accessible. Ms. Hope said that may have been necessary if there was not a requirement for public
space in front of the building.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented it was important to provide incentives for energy efficient and
LEED such as a break on permit fees and/or fast -tracking the permitting process. To get buildings of future

in Edmonds, the City needs to provide accolades and breaks for developers who are willing to do that. Ms.
Hope said staff will bring that to Council in the next few months.
Mayor Earling said there would be another opportunity for Council review prior to adoption.
3. RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO DESIGNATE HIGHWAY 99 SUBAREA AS A
RESIDENTIAL TARGETED AREA
Economic Development/Community Services Director Patrick Doherty advised the resolution establishes
the Council's intent to designate the Highway 99 Subarea as Residential Targeted Area for implementation
of the Multifamily Property Tax Exemption (MFTE) Program and set a public hearing on August 15. The
Council has already implemented MFTE in Westgate following approval of the subarea plan. The purpose
of MFTE is principally to encourage development that is planning for in areas that have not seen or may be
lacking in development of that nature. Multifamily or mixed use development would be incentivized by
this program. The extra benefit of MFTE is it provides for affordable housing at 20% of the units. The State
allows two options, an 8-year tax exemption for the residential portion with no affordable housing and a
12-year exemption if the project provides 20% of the units affordable. The Council previously approved
the 12-year exemption with affordable housing for Westgate.
If the resolution is approved by Council, at the August 15 public hearing, Mr. Doherty said he will present
details of the program, adding this subarea and minor amendments to the code language. At that time, the
Council could officially designate Highway 99 and approve the revised code language. He offered to
provide the draft code language to committee prior to the August 15 public hearing.
Mr. Doherty relayed the Economic Development Commission has indicated its desire to co-sponsor with
City staff a redevelopment forum/event in fall that developers throughout the region would be invited to
attend, present the new plan, expectations for the corridor, etc. MFTE would be one of the items highlighted
at that event.

INTRODUCTION
The Subarea Plan is a vision and action plan to enhance
the Highway 99 area, support prolonged economic
prosperity in the corridor area, and build a more attractive
place for the Edmonds community to live, work, and play.
The City of Edmonds initiated the Edmonds
Highway 99 Subarea Plan to address future land
use and transportation needs on and around the
Highway 99 corridor. The plan acts as a guide
for future development of the corridor area, and
includes specific actions and investments designed
to bring positive changes to the community.
DOCUMENT OVERVIEW
This document provides guidance for how the
corridor should grow and change in the future and
sets forth the opportunities and actions needed
to address the challenges on Highway 99. The
Plan identifies the constraints and opportunities
for land use, transportation, and economic
development. It describes two alternative scenarios
representing different intensities of investment and
redevelopment in the short- and long-term future.
The accompanying Implementation Strategy lays
out the investments, policy changes, and short-,
medium-, and long-term actions to transform the
Highway 99 area into a vibrant, mixed -use, transit -
oriented corridor.
THE PLANNING CONTEXT
As part of the ten-year state transportation budget
adopted in 2015, $10 million was allocated for
improvements to Highway 99 in Edmonds. The
first $1 million will be available in the early years of
planning for the corridor. The Subarea Plan helps
make the case for obtaining significant additional
federal, state, and regional grant funds to implement
the policies and strategies set forth in this plan.
Successful implementation of the plan will depend
on a secure source of funding and collaborative
decision -making from state legislators and city
officials.
Neighboring directly south of Highway 99 in
Edmonds, the City of Shoreline has embarked
on significant improvements to Aurora Avenue
within its boundaries, emphasizing improvements
for transit and pedestrian use. Continuing this
momentum in Edmonds will benefit the Edmonds
community as well as the broader region creating
a livable, vibrant community around high -capacity
transit that visitors, businesses, and residents can
take full advantage of.

PAST PLANNING EFFORTS
During a City Council retreat in 2002, the Highway
99 corridor was identified as one of the areas of
greatest potential for generating tax revenue for the
city. Subsequently, the Highway 99 Task Force was
formed at the City Council retreat in 2003 to study
and make recommendations on how to maximize
economic growth along the Highway 99 corridor.
As a result, the City of Edmonds Highway 99
Enhancement project began engaging neighborhood
representatives and business and property
owners in 2004 to identify key local objectives and
recommendations along the corridor. This subarea
plan is intended to augment the work started in
2004 and set forth concrete actions steps to move
towards implementing land use and transportation
improvements on Highway 99. The Highway 99
Subarea Plan is a result of many years of study and
careful planning.

PLANNED ACTION ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT STUDY (EIS) OVERVIEW
A Planned Action EIS is an upfront assessment of
environmental conditions, potential impacts, and
mitigation measures for the Edmonds Highway
99 Subarea, rather than a piecemeal analysis
on a project -by project basis. As such, the EIS
provides developers certainty and predictability
while streamlining the environmental review and
permitting process and furthering the goals of the
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and the
Growth Management Act (GMA). Planned actions
still need to meet the City's development regulations
and to obtain necessary permits.
The alternatives considered in the Draft EIS for
the Subarea Plan include No Action (Alternative
1) and the Preferred Alternative (Alternative 2).
Under Alternative 1, future growth would continue
based on existing development regulations and
past development trends. Alternative 2 assumes
future mixed use growth with an emphasis on
residential, commercial, and office development and
assumes a new vision for the area supported by
transportation system improvements and updates
to existing development regulations. See Appendix
A for a more detailed description of impacts for
each alternative.

VISION + COMMUNITY VALUES
The Vision for the Edmonds Highway 99 area
establishes a framework for the Subarea Plan and
describes an ideal snapshot of how the area could
evolve in the future.
The vision is based on the knowledge and ideas
of Edmonds residents and stakeholders gathered
during public workshops, stakeholder interviews,
and through public surveys. The Edmonds
community shared a wide -range of creative ideas
for improvements that will enable people to enjoy
safe and easy access to Highway 99's diverse
services and amenities, better access to the area's
robust transit system, and more opportunities for
affordable housing, jobs, and destinations.
THE VISION GOALS
The Vision goals here represent the themes that
surfaced throughout community discussions with
Edmonds residents and stakeholders. They describe
the qualities residents want to see in the Highway
99 corridor area.
Economic Development
Stimulate the economy by attracting and
encouraging new businesses, investment, and
redevelopment.
Safety and Walkability
Create a safe and comfortable place for
pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists to move along
and get across Highway 99.

THE STUDY AREA
The Edmonds Highway 99 subarea is
approximately 2 miles bordered by several
jurisdictions — Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace,
Shoreline, and the Unincorporated Snohomish
County neighborhood of Esperance. The subarea
is a major urban center for Edmonds with
professional services and retail amenities along
the corridor. There are distinct subdistricts and is
already a horizontal mixed -use district. However,
buildings along HWY 99 are predominately
highway -oriented, set far back from the road with
large surface parking lots in front, which results
in an unpleasant and unsafe environment for
pedestrians. Many of the buildings are old and
reaching the end of their natural life. As Edmonds
contemplates where new growth and economic
development can occur within the community, this
stretch of HWY 99 has been identified for change
and there is broad support for a reimagining of its
historic role as just a high-speed highway.
The study area currently
has approximately 3,800
jobs and 1,600 housing
units. There are about 2.4
jobs for every housing
unit. As such, the subarea
is currently an employment
destination, with more than
twice as many employees
as households. Attracting
more housing, especially
affordable housing, to this
jobs -rich area will increase
walking and biking trips
and reduce the need for
more auto trips in the area

Key Assets in the Corridor Area:
1 Opportunity to build on the momentum of
ongoing neighborhood improvements in
Shoreline along Highway 99 while creating a
mixed -use corridor that is distinctly Edmonds.
2 High -quality transit facilities already in
place — Community Transit, Sound Transit,
and Swift BRT — providing links to housing,
employment and other amenities to the
Seattle Metro region.
3 Distinct districts are already emerging
along the corridor area — the International
District and Health District — that provide
core services and amenities for Edmonds'
diversifying population.
4 Corridor area is already a major urban center
and mixed -used district for Edmonds with
retail uses adjacent to apartments and single-
family neighborhoods.
50
The business and developer community
and residents alike are ready to see positive
changes in the area and are excited for the
opportunity to create a pedestrian -friendly,
transit -oriented environment.
UNIQUE DISTRICTS
The area has three distinct subdistricts with major
local and regional destinations along the corridor.
HEALTH CARE DISTRICT
Located approximately between SW 208th St. to SW
220th St., the Health Care District is home to variety
of health care facilities and offices, most notably the
Swedish Hospital Edmonds Campus. The Edmonds
campus includes 34 facilities and services, 217
beds, over 450 physicians and specialists and more
than 1,400 staff members. The hospital provides
medical and surgical services including Level IV
Trauma emergency medicine, diagnostic, treatment
and support services. There are many other medical
clinics and offices across Highway 99 in Lynnwood
as well as schools and higher education such
as Edmonds Woodway High School, Mountlake
Terrace High School, and Edmonds Community
College, within approximately 1.5 miles from the
Health Care District core on Highway 99.
The Health Care District is not only a provider
of vital health services for the region, but also
a growing incubator for medical research,
partnerships, health and wellness advocacy, and
education opportunities.

INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT
Located approximately between SW 224th St and
SW 238th St, the International District is a major
cluster of Asian -owned businesses, particularly
Korean -American businesses, with diverse
restaurants, grocers, and shops. The International
District is already a regional destination for
culture, food, and entertainment — but there is an
opportunity to strengthen the identity of this district
and help it thrive in the long term.
The SR 99 International District Enhancement
Project was a key recommendation identified
in the 2004 Enhancement Study and the 2006
Market Analysis to build on the growing cluster
of international businesses, largely anchored by
the Ranch 99 Market, Boo Han Plaza, and other
specialty plazas. In 2006, the City began efforts
through federal grant funds to strengthen the
International District identity by improving the
area's visual identity and aesthetics, and implement
pedestrian -oriented improvements with new
gateway elements including a new pedestrian
level lighting, new district identification signage on
custom light poles, resurfacing of the island on 76th
Avenue and a solar lit sculptural piece on the island
as part of the gateway.
A major transportation gateway on 228th and
Highway 99 is planned to create safe and easy
access across the highway and connect to the
recently completed bicycle lane that flows to
the future regional trail (Interurban Trail) and to
the Mountlake Terrace Transit Center. These
transportation improvements will provide a critical
connection for both local residents and regional
transit riders to the International District. The
gateway design potential here will also help solidify
the identity of the district.
GATEWAY DISTRICT
The Gateway District, located approximately
between SW 234th and the 104 Interchange north
of SW 205th St, is the first introduction to Edmonds
on Highway 99. This area was identified in the
Enhancement Study as "Residential Area Retail
Center" and "Hotels Area Improvement". However,
the Edmonds community expressed a strong desire
for a "gateway' and distinct transition point in and
out of Edmonds during a community workshop. A
recognizable marker identifying the entry point to
the city will help unify Edmonds as a place with rich
history, arts, culture, food, and sense of place.

EXISTING LAND USE PATTERNS
The subarea today contains a mix of land uses
including commercial, residential, industrial, public,
and educational uses. Commercial uses make
up the largest amount of square footage, which
includes office, retail, services, and motels. Multi-
family residential uses make up the second largest
amount, most which are apartments but also
townhomes or duplexes. Much of the surrounding
areas to the east and west of the study area are
developed as single family residential, and the
residential uses on the edges of the study area help
to provide transitions to these areas.
There are vacant parcels located throughout the
study area with a concentration in the south-central
part of the study area. Existing development is
generally low -intensity, with one- or two-story
buildings and large surface parking areas. There
are several plaza -type developments with larger
scale grocers and marketplaces such as 99 Ranch
Market, Boo Han Market, Aurora Marketplace, and
Burlington Coat Factory. The Swedish Edmonds
Campus is within a cluster of commercial uses
including medical offices and clinics and some
higher -intensity and higher -scale buildings.
TABLE 2: DISTRIBUTION OF LAND USES WITHIN STUDY AREA
ZONING ASSESSMENT
The study area has many zoning designations
applied within it, and often in odd configurations.
The haphazard pattern reflects both zones inherited
from the County when the area was annexed and a
variety of zone changes in specific places over the
past several decades. The Comprehensive Plan
designates nearly all of the study area with a single
Highway 99 Corridor designation.
As of 2016, there are eight zoning designations
CG and CG2: General Commercial
NB: Neighborhood Business
BC: Community Business
MU: Medical Use
RM-1.5: Mulifamily
RM-2.4: Mulifamily
RS-8: Single Family Residential
Most the study area is zoned either General
Commercial (CG or CG2) with Multifamily (RM-1.5)
adjacent to the corridor. 65% of the study area is
within CG and CG2 and 8% is within RM-1.5. The CG
zone allows buildings up to 60 feet tall and the CG2
zone allows buildings up to 75 feet tall. Zoning for

EXISTING HOUSING
For the greater metropolitan region in which
Edmonds is located, housing supply has not been
not keeping up with demand. Housing needs —
along with housing costs —have been rising
rapidly. In fact, data was recently obtained through
the Alliance for Housing Affordability about the
availability of affordable housing along Highway
99 in the Edmonds area. Research conducted in
November 2016 showed that the number of rental
units affordable to households below 80% of the
area median income was very limited and little
housing at all was available at rents affordable to
households below 50% of the area median income
The same can be said for those wanting to own
a home. (Note: "Affordable" rent for this purpose
is considered to be a rental amount that does not
exceed 30% of the household income.)

REGIONAL ACCESS
SR-99 is the highest -traffic carrying arterial in
Edmonds and run north to Everett, and south
through Shoreline to Seattle and the Tacoma
metropolitan area. The subarea can be accessed
through SR-104 which runs east -west through the
southern -most border of the subarea between
the Edmonds -Kingston Ferry dock in Downtown
Edmonds to 1-5 east of Highway 99. 1-5 runs almost
parallel to the east of Highway 99 providing regional
access from surrounding cities to the north and
south.

STREET NETWORK
Highway 99 serves as a principal arterial in
Edmonds providing north -south mobility and
access to businesses and services along the
corridor. Highway 99's diagonal orientation through
a mostly gridded street pattern creates difficult and
low visibility turns onto and from the highway for
drivers and poses a major safety risk for bicyclists
and pedestrians. The minor arterials in the subarea
are on 238th Street, 228th Street, 220th Street, and
212th Street providing through traffic east -west.
Many local streets are broken and do not have
complete connections to other local streets and
arterials, which is typical of a more suburban street
network. A short portion of the right-of-way between
228th and 234th Street is located in Esperance, an
unincorporated township of Snohomish County.
TRANSIT SERVICE
The subarea currently has a very robust transit
network with enhancement and service frequency
increases planned in the future. The subarea is
served by Community Transit, Sound Transit, and
Swift BRT lines. There are two Community Transit
Swift Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stops along the
corridor and many local bus stops with several
transit connections between transit providers.
Edmonds sits at the intersection of two major
transit providers. The Community Transit Swift BRT
system serves Edmonds and areas north, while the
King County Metro BRT system serves areas south
of Edmonds. A transfer station is located just over
the border in Shoreline adjacent to the large Costco
and Home Depot shopping center. Transfers
between transit providers can cause significant
delay in travel times if arrival and departure times
are not coordinated tightly. King County Metro and
Community Transit are coordinating times to ensure
efficient transfer times, but the City will continue
to monitor this to ensure Edmonds has quick and
efficient access to Seattle and other points south.

PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FACILITIES
Most area roads have sidewalks, but certain key
streets that provide access to and across HWY
99 currently lack sidewalks. Roads that form the
border of Edmonds and other jurisdictions, such
as 228th west of HWY 99, pose unique problems
for improvement and cost sharing. Improvements
to substandard streets have been explored and
recommendations have been identified in this plan's
project list.
Bicycle facilities are limited in the study area,
particularly protected bicycle lanes. The proximity
to the Interurban Trail, a major regional trail
connecting Edmonds to communities north and
south, is east of HWY 99 and has limited access
from the center of Edmonds to the west. This
process examined improved and new bicycle
connections through the study area and included
several in the recommended project list.
PLANNED TRANSIT SERVICE
A new commuter rail station is planned for nearby
Mountlake Terrace. 228th will connect Edmonds
and the HWY 99 study area to this new regional
transit option. The extension of the Link light rail
is scheduled for completion in 2023. This plan
has specific recommendations for how to improve
linkages and wayfinding between the future rail
station and the HWY 99 corridor.
PLANNED TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS
The City of Edmonds identifies planned
transportation improvements surrounding the
Highway 99 subarea in their 2015 Comprehensive
Plan and in studies conducted for specific
operational and safety conditions within the
corridor. The 2015 Comprehensive Plan develops
a balanced multimodal transportation system
to serve the anticipated growth throughout the
City and region. Within the Edmonds Highway 99
subarea the planned transportation improvements
emphasize access to Highway 99 and connections
to the downtown, surrounding residential
neighborhoods and major transportation nodes.
The improvements fall into several general areas
including:
Traffic safety and access management
improvements: This area of improvement
involves installation of vehicular channelization
and median devices between intersections to
separate traffic flows and restrict turns to and
from driveways. These devices are intended
to reduce crashes by eliminating mid -block
vehicular conflicts caused by multiple driveways,
minor uncontrolled intersections, and the
continuous two-way left turn lane comprising the
majority of Highway 99.
A recent example of the implementation of
access management is the segment of Highway
99 between 224th Street SW and 228th Street
SW where the center median of Highway is a
combination of Type-C curbing ("c-curb") and a
raised concrete barrier median. This installation
prohibits all movements that would normally
cross the centerline and provides bi-directionality
by allowing u-turns at the signalized intersections
at either end of the segment.

intersection of 76th Avenue and Highway 99 between 224th
Street and 228th Street

BACKGROUND + EXISTING CON
Expansion of the citywide bicycle network: The
City's 2015 Comprehensive Transportation Plan
includes proposed bicycle facilities that expand
the coverage of the existing bikeway system and
connect various parts of the City. Within the plan
area the proposed bikeway network emphasizes
new east -west crossings of Highway 99 with
connections to the Interurban Trail as well as
north -south facilities paralleling Highway 99. The
proposed bikeway network in the plan area is a
combination of bicycle lanes (exclusively marked
lanes for bikes) and designated bicycle routes
where bicyclists and motorists share travel lanes
Bike facilities are frequently implemented in
stages as part of other roadway improvement
projects. For example, bike lanes were added to
220th Street SW between 84th Avenue W and
76th Avenue W as part of a recent pavement
overlay improvement of 220th Street SW. In
the next stage of bikeway implementation, bike
lanes will be added to 76th Avenue W from 220th
Street SW to Olympic View Drive.
Example of exclusively marked bike lane
Example of bicycle route shared with bicyclists and motorists
Intersection improvements for vehicular,
pedestrian and bicycle safety: This area of
improvements focuses on closing gaps in the
pedestrian system by constructing sidewalks
but also includes reconstructing intersection
approaches on streets intersecting Highway
99 to delineate traffic lanes, improve traffic
signal phasing, and add bike lanes —all of
which are intended to improve safety and also
improve multimodal circulation for accessing
and crossing Highway 99. These planned
improvements are considered "Complete Streets"
projects since they emphasize improving
conditions for all users.
A recent example of this type of improvement
was the extension of 228th Street SW from
Highway 99 to 76th Avenue W—a short, but
strategic, complete street segment that improves
pedestrian and bicycle circulation, access to
transit, and removes a substantial obstacle to
a crucial complete street corridor-228th Street
SW/Lakeview Drive —connecting the plan area
to Sound Transit's Mountlake Terrace transit
terminal and future light rail station.

Priority Transit Corridors: Improvements that
focus on improving the mobility of transit on
key transit corridors, improving pedestrian and
bicycle access to transit stops, and enhancing
transit stop environments with pedestrian
amenities to encourage ridership. Priority
Transit Corridors include Highway 99, 220th
Street SW, 228th Street SW, and 238th Street
SW each of which are currently important
routes for Community Transit's local and Swift
Rapid routes. The types of improvements in
this category such as Transit Signal Priority,
improved bus service and route interconnection,
accessibility, and improved stops and stations,
are cooperative projects between multiple
agencies.

EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS &
MARKET TRENDS
In February 2016, an assessment of the
development market and round of developer
interviews was conducted. The results of the
assessment and the interviews is summarized with
the following five points. Further discussion of each
is below.
1. Edmonds is a good location for development, but
has its challenges.
2. Residential uses will likely be the primary driver
of development along the corridor.
3. Parking is an important factor in development
form and feasibility.
4. The impact of right-of-way improvements on
development was mixed.
5. Development incentives and regulatory process
can support (or hinder) redevelopment.
1. EDMONDS IS A GOOD LOCATION FOR
DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT HAS CHALLENGES
Edmonds has a positive impression. It's viewed as
a desirable community that people want to live and
as a place they would consider building. Highway
99 in Edmonds does have some specific challenges,
specifically crime, vehicle access, and the lack of
large developable sites.
High parking requirements may impede new development
23 EDMONDS HIGHWAY 99 SUBAREA PLAN
Packet Pg. 183
7.1.b
BACKGROUND + EXISTING CON
2. RESIDENTIAL USES WILL LIKELY BE THE
PRIMARY DRIVER OF DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE
CORRIDOR
Apartment projects will likely be the main driver of
development along the corridor. Most developers
are looking to do sizable projects of 150 units
or more, which requires larger sites. Mixed use
development is fairly likely although the retail
portion may be a drag on the project financially
initially. Office development is not likely in the near -
term, and demand for medical office use is not
clear.
Mixed -use, residential development
3. PARKING IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN
DEVELOPMENT FORM AND FEASIBILITY
Accommodating parking is an important factor
in redevelopment, particularly in a suburban and
auto -oriented environment transitioning to being
more dense and walkable. Future projects along the
corridor will likely need structured or underground
parking to maximize the development potential of
a site. The cost of different parking types and site
size and characteristics are important variables
for parking configuration (surface/tuck-under/
underground). The number of spots per unit
desired will vary depending on the project, but high
minimum requirements and/or inflexible standards
can be a significant barrier to new development.
4. THE IMPACT OF RIGHT-OF-WAY IMPROVEMENTS
ON DEVELOPMENT WAS MIXED
The City of Shoreline has made significant
improvements along Highway 99. One interviewee
saw the improvements as critical to development.
Several interviewees viewed them as nice to
have, but not critical. Access, particularly for retail
use, is viewed as important and something to
be maintained if any improvements are made to
Highway 99 in Edmonds.
Right-of-way improvements, like improved sidewalks, will be a
critical part of new development
5. DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES AND REGULATORY
PROCESS CAN SUPPORT (OR HINDER)
REDEVELOPMENT
The multifamily tax exemption (MFTE) program
has been used by a number of developers in
communities around the region, and is considered
an effective incentive. Permitting and timeliness of
the permit process is also considered important for
facilitating development.
The permitting process is an important aspect of development.

COMMUNITY + STAKEHOLDER
ENGAGEMENT
The Subarea Plan is representative of input gathered from
the overall community as well as key stakeholders, and
other interested parties throughout the planning process.
The public involvement process involved
stakeholder interviews, a Technical Advisory
Committee, a community visioning workshop,
polling, and two open houses as well as online
outreach and surveys. The community's
participation during the planning process helped
shaped the overarching vision and community
values for the Highway 99 area which ultimately
guides the recommended strategies in the Plan.
The process also helped build public support
around the near and long-term approach towards
growth and prosperity for the Highway 99 area.

would like to see in the future, such as commercial,
housing, or mixed use development, new pedestrian
crossing, safety improvements, new traffic signals,
traffic calming measures, wider sidewalks and
others.
PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES
Two public open houses were held in May and
November 2016 and served as an opportunity to
learn about the project, hear from elected leaders,
and converse with the project team and share
their thoughts on the project. The May open house
revealed near and long-term development and
transportation scenarios for the study area, and
the proposed scope of the Planned Action EIS.
The November open house unveiled the draft

elements of the implementation strategies and
recommendations for the subarea.
WEB OUTREACH AND SOCIAL MEDIA
A dedicated project website was created to inform
the public about the project and regularly updated
with most recent project developments and event
announcements throughout the planning process.
The website provided an opportunity for those
unable to attend the workshop or open houses to

CONSTRAINTS + CHALLENGES
LAND USE CONSTRAINTS b
CHALLENGES
One issue the corridor needs to overcome
is a public perception as being unsafe,
unattractive and undesirable. It is sometimes
viewed as a leftover area of the city and is
not inspiring. Citizens often pass through the
area on their way to somewhere else. There
are misperceptions of what the corridor is and
what it could eventually become.
Highway 99 is a wide auto -oriented regional
thoroughfare; this type of road design can be
challenging when attempting to create a more
walkable and safe area. There are also many
land owners in the area and some of the
parcels are oddly shaped or have poor access
to Highway 99. On top of that, compared with
other communities in the region, potentially
restrictive land use and parking regulations
complicated future opportunities. These
challenges can make it more difficult to
design and build a viable development project.

CONSTRAINTS + CHALLENGES
7.1.b
ECONOMIC CONSTRAINTS &
CHALLENGES
One challenge for the area is the limited retail trade
area due to geographical constraints with Puget
Sound to the west and Interstate 5 a short distance
to the east. Several distinct major regional retail
centers and lifestyle centers in nearby communities
also compete with this area.
Lack of housing choice can also be challenging. A
wider variety of housing options and commercial
space is available elsewhere in the region. The
lack of housing variety has led to a shortage of
affordable housing opportunities as well. The lack
of commercial space may allow for retail "leakage,"
which is the loss of potential local sales activity to
areas outside of the corridor and city.
TRANSPORTATION AND
INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRAINTS b
CHALLENGES
A substantial portion of the resident labor force
commutes away for work, while large number of
workers commute into town for work. This can
create traffic and safety issues along the corridor
Safe pedestrian crossings are presently inadequate.
Many places where pedestrians want to cross the
highway have no marked pedestrian crossing. This
is particularly occurring in the southern section
of the corridor. There are also long segments
without any street crossings or traffic lights. For
example, the central section of the corridor requires
a 10-minute walk to find a safely marked crossing.
Finally, sidewalks are limited along the stretch on
the corridor and are not present everywhere.

OPPORTUNITIES
LAND USE OPPORTUNITIES
Because of a long history of auto -
oriented design along the Highway 99
corridor there are many opportunities for
major land use changes.
Three specific locations on the corridor
already have reasonably good urban form
and include the area east of Highway 99
between 238th and 240th, the area east
of Highway 99 at 228th and the area
just to the north of the Swedish Medical
Center along 212th. These three areas
are considered to have good urban form
because they currently have well -marked
crossings, are near frequent transit
service, have city block and lot sizes that
are conducive to walking, and have a
large amount of employment activity.
This area has a mix of uses, including
retail, office, medical, and residential. It is
an urban center of Edmonds and part of
a larger regional hub.
Key Takeaways:

OPPORTUNITIES
Although same areas have good urban form,
there are also opportunities for better integrated
land uses along the corridor. Many parcels are
less than 25% covered with buildings, presenting
an opportunity for redevelopment and increased
density in the area. In addition, much of the
few new buildings or historic buildings along the
corridor are expected to remain the same for the
foreseeable future. Furthermore, there are many
low -to -moderate value buildings and just a few
new, higher value buildings in the area. This means
that there is great potential for reinvestment and
buildings are between 25 and 60 years old and are redevelopment along the corridor.

OPPORT
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES
The service sector will continue to dominate the
Edmonds employm ent base, with continued growth
expected, especially in the health care sector. The
burgeoning health services sector, anchored by
Swedish -Edmonds Hospital is a perfect example.
The Highway 99 corridor near the medical services
node around the hospital offers opportunities for
additional hospitality facilities.
Other opportunities include leveraging the
"International District" to provide culturally -specific
goods and services. The corridor already has a
strong international business community, offering
diverse array of goods and services.
A substantial number of jobs in Edmonds are
occupied by residents of other outside communities.
Additional housing variety in the area with a greater
distribution along the affordability spectrum could
help capture the latent housing demand of many
Edmonds workers.

TRANSPORTATION &
INFRASTRUCTURE OPPORTUNITIES
The HWY 99 corridor is unique in that it is served
by regional Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), local public
transportation, and has access to commuter
and express transit services to Seattle from the
Mountlake Terrace 1-5 Station which will offer light
rail transit service with the Lynwood Link Extension
planned to open in the year 2023.
The level of transit coverage within the Plan
Area supports transit -oriented -development and
attracts households with zero to low automobile
ownership —a segment of the population that
choose to reside near transit because they don't
drive or don't want to encumber themselves
with the cost of vehicle ownership. One of the
characteristics of HWY 99 that helps BRT achieve
its desirable rapidness —long distances between
signal controlled intersections —is also one of the
greatest impediments to pedestrian circulation.
Despite the apparent conflict in functionality, the
HWY 99 corridor presents opportunities to maintain
the short travel times needed for an effective Swift
rapid transit system while providing additional safe
pedestrian crossings of HWY 99 and improving the
overall multimodal connectivity of the Plan Area.
Opportunities for maintaining a rapid transit
system include:
» Implementing a Transit Signal Priority system
that allow BRT vehicles to trigger a change
in traffic signal phasing in favor of the buses
approaching a signalized intersection.
» Strongly enforcing the corridor's BAT lanes and
improving their effectiveness through better
access management and their use as queue
jumping lanes.
Opportunities for improving pedestrian safety,
circulation options, and access to transit include:
» Transforming the approaches of streets
intersecting HWY 99 into "Complete Streets"
that improve the environment for all users to
access and cross the corridor. Complete Street
improvements might trade-off automobile travel
lanes to create space for sidewalks and bike
lanes, or might add a vehicular turning lane
allowing for protected signal movements that
eliminate conflicts with crossing pedestrians.
» Strategic placement of new traffic signals and
pedestrian crossings that break up the longest
segments of HWY 99 without safe crosswalks.
Reconfigure high-speed corners and ramps
to slow traffic and install pedestrian -activated
flashing beacons at uncontrolled crossings.

OPPORT
Transportation improvements within the Plan
Area should take advantage of the opportunities
provided by key assets within the Plan Area.
The Interurban Trail is a key asset in the corridor.
Improving access to the trail with short and
strategically located pedestrian and bicycle -only
connections from HWY 99 can increase the trail's
usefulness for shorter trips as well as longer
distance travel.
Capitalize on the successful extension of 228th
Street to break up large blocks and create more
complete street connections to Edmond's
designated Priority Transit Corridors to provide
better pedestrian access to transit stops and
improve overall mobility.
Encourage transit use by enhancing transit stops
in Priority Transit Corridors with amenities that
make stops attractive, comfortable, and safe for
waiting passengers.

ALTERNATIVE SCENARIOS
LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION
SCENARIOS
Land use and transportation scenarios are an
important part of the exploratory process in
planning. Testing a range of policy options,
development types and transportation
improvements allows for a comparison of the
relative strengths and weaknesses of virtual
futures.
Two separate land use and transportation
scenarios were evaluated within the HWY 99
corridor before landing on a final preferred
alternative. The scenarios were tested using the
open source scenario planning platform Envision
Tomorrow.
Envision Tomorrow is a suite of planning tools that
includes analysis and scenario design applications.
The analysis tools allow users to analyze aspects
of their current community using commonly
accessible GIS data, such as tax assessor parcel
data and Census data. The scenario design tools
allow users to digitally map alternative future

ALTERNATIVE SCENARIOS
development scenarios on the landscape, and
compare scenario outcomes in real time for a range
of measures from public health, fiscal resiliency and
environmental sustainability.
The location and styles of development that
were tested came from public input through the
workshop process and the existing conditions
analysis of redevelopment potential. The
transportation components of the scenarios were
a combination of public input from the workshops,
and existing projects in previous plans.
SCENARIO BUILDING BLOCKS
Each of the scenarios was constructed using
a range of building types calibrated to the
Edmonds market. Within a context such as the
HWY 99 study area, a range of buildings could be
anticipated. However, existing roadway conditions
and regulatory requirements have precluded the
TABLE 5: BUILDING TYPE CHARACTERISTICS

development of the mixed -use and residential
building types desired by the public — predominantly
three and four story apartments, and five and six
story mixed -use buildings.
Within the current context of the area, land
developers are unable to achieve rents high enough
to make these buildings feasible. However, with
investments into roadway improvements and
regulatory changes, such as a reduction in parking
requirements, the market becomes much more
desirable. More pedestrian -oriented road conditions
and development make the area more attractive
to potential tenants, resulting in higher achievable
rents, and therefore greater market feasibility for
the type of development under consideration. This
relationship between transportation, land use and
the development market is well documented in
Reid Ewing and Keith Bartholomew's research into
Hedonic Price effects of Pedestrian- and Transit -
Oriented Development (2011).

ALTERNATIVE SC
Given the assumption that these investments
and regulatory changes would take place, four
primary building types came forward as the most
likely to occur in the HWY 99 study area: three-
story apartments, six -story mixed -use residential
or office, six -story mixed -use office, and ten -story
mixed -use office and residential in which the mixed -
use buildings would include ground floor retail and
service uses with either residential or office on
the upper floors. These building types were used
to construct the HWY 99 scenarios, and Table 5
summarizes the building characteristics of the four
building types.
SCENARIO ALTERNATIVES
The power of scenario analysis lies in the ability to
test out and compare different potential futures.
The alternatives considered in the analysis
include No Action (Alternative 1) and the Preferred
Alternative (Alternative 2).
SCENARIO ALTERNATIVE 1: NO ACTION
Under Alternative 1, future growth would continue
based on existing development regulations and
past development trends. Operating under the
assumption of existing roadway conditions and
regulatory requirements, the development of higher
intensity mixed -use and residential buildings proved
unfeasible, resulting in the lowest potential for new
housing and population growth in the corridor.
Accordingly, commercial development would
continue to be the primary use along the corridor.
SCENARIO ALTERNATIVE 2: PREFERRED
ALTERNATIVE
Public feedback expressed a desire for a dual
emphasis of both housing and employment,
resulting in an area characterized by mixed -
use development with an increase in residential
development, greater intensity of development, and
street -frontage and pedestrian amenities. Higher
building intensity was focused in the high-rise
Three-story apartment building type
Six story mixed -use building
type with ground floor retail
and residential above
Ten -story mixed -use building
type with ground floor office
and residential above
node surrounding the Swedish Edmonds Campus,
bringing a broader range of uses to the district, and
the highest growth potential.
The Preferred Alternative assumes mixed use
growth that is more balanced between residential,
commercial, and office uses, an area -wide
rezone, amendments to development regulations,
and enhanced transportation improvements.
Transportation improvements to the Highway 99
corridor and adjacent local streets would include
measure to maintain level of service standards,
increase east/west connectivity, provide greater
bicycle and pedestrian mobility, and improve access
to transit.

DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY ANALYSIS
As part of the subarea planning process, a
maximum development capacity number was
estimated by Fregonese Associates using the
Envision Tomorrow model. In general, existing
development does not fully utilize the development
capacity available under current zoning, as much
of the existing development in the study area is
low -intensity and low -scale, with the medical uses
surrounding the Swedish Edmonds Campus being
the exception.
Because current zoning in the study area allows
for a mix of uses, maximum development capacity
was estimated for two alternatives. Under the
first alternative, future growth would continue
based on existing development regulations and
past development trends. Alternative 2, which is
the preferred alternative, assumes future mixed

use growth with a mix of residential, commercial,
and office development, an area -wide rezone,
amendments to development regulations, and
transportation improvements. Table 7 shows
the maximum development capacity numbers in
comparison to existing development in the study
area and the preferred alternative. Development
capacity estimates are not a prediction that a
certain amount of development will occur or when it
may occur, but instead a measure of the maximum
development that could occur in a given area. As
Table 7 shows, estimated development capacity
is significantly greater than the sum of existing
and new growth planned under the alternatives
and indicate sufficient development capacity in
the study area to accommodate growth under the
alternatives.

CONSOLIDATE CG AND CG-2 INTO A
SINGLE CG ZONE
THE ISSUE TODAY:
The zoning in the planning area
is unnecessarily complex and
confusing. Most of the area is
either zoned CG or CG2. The
difference between them is a minor
height difference of 15 feet. CG
has a height allowance of 60 feet
while CG2 has a height allowance
of 75 feet.
RECOMMENDATION 4.1
Consolidate the existing CG and CG2 into a single
CG zone with height limit at 75 feet. This allows
for a cost-effective 6 story mixed -use building to be
constructed with comfortable floor to ceiling heights.
The construction type of 5 wood framed floors over
a ground floor, concrete podium (also known as a "5-
over-1 building") is efficient and cost effective, and is
also within the height capacity of fire truck ladders.
SIMPLIFY ZONING DESIGNATIONS AND
ALIGN ZONING WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
THE ISSUE TODAY:
Many of the current zones in the
HWY 99 study area are remnants
from the zones that were in place
when this area of Edmonds was
annexed from the County. The
patchwork of zones is outdated
and, in some cases, not consistent
with parcel boundaries, meaning
that some lots have more than one
zone.
RECOMMENDATION 5.1
Instead of having 6 or more zones, it is
recommended that the new, consolidated CG zone
be applied to most of the study area. Additional
recommendations below, as well as a change to
other multifamily properties in the subarea when
zoning map amendments are being considered,
will ensure new buildings transition in scale into
the surrounding single family neighborhoods.
These changes will better align the zoning with the
Comprehensive Plan map.

MODIFY CURRENT DESIGN STANDARDS
The design standard recommendations in this plan are not regulatory changes. Rather, they are proposed
modifications to be considered when the design standards are written during the implementation of the
plan. Code changes will only occur after the Subarea Plan has been adopted. During the implementation
phase of the Plan when the design standards are modified, consideration of special circumstances within
the corridor will be made to ensure the standards are feasible. For instance, large parcels that would
have multiple buildings if redeveloped and parcels with unique access or transportation challenges may
require a modified approach to the design standards.
ACCESS AND PARKING
WHAT ARE THE CURRENT DESIGN STANDARDS IN CG AND CG2 ZONES?
Current standards require that not more than 50 percent of a project's total parking spaces may be
located between the building's front facade and the primary street. Parking lots may not be located on
corner locations adjacent to public streets.
THE ISSUE TODAY:
This standard can allow too much parking on street fronts, which impacts pedestrian activity
and hinders a vibrant urban street. This standard is attempting to encourage more parking in the
rear of buildings, but it is regulating the location of a percentage of the parking rather than the
amount of building front should be located towards the road. Depending on the project or lot size,
the amount of parking in the front could still be very large with the existing standard. Regulating
the percentage of the frontage that needs to be occupied by building instead of parking area is a
more appropriate approach.

Ground Floor Setback:
Current front setback in RM-1.5 (the current
multifamily zone near Highway 99) is 15'
(ECDC 16.30.030).
Where commercial, institutional, medical and
multifamily uses are adjacent to residential
zones, current standards require a 15' setback
(ECDC 16.60.020).
Where commercial, institutional, medical
uses are adjacent to residential zones, current
standards require a dense 10' landscaping
buffer (ECDC 16.60.030.A.1.f)
Where office and multifamily uses are adjacent
to single-family zones, current standards
require a minimum 4' wide and 10' tall
landscaping buffer (ECDC 16.60.030.A.1.h)
Upper Floor Stepback:
No current standards exist for explicitly
regulating the bulk and scale of buildings that
are adjacent to single family zones.
THE ISSUE TODAY:
Current design standards do
not ensure proper transition
of higher density buildings
adjacent to single-family
neighborhoods.
The current Design Criteria seek to ensure
"buildings do not display blank, unattractive
walls to the abutting streets or residential
properties, walls or portions of walls
abutting streets or visible from residentially
zoned properties" and suggests a variety of
architectural treatments to mitigate impact, but
does not explicitly require a stepback.

recommendations that should be considered
when developing uses adjacent to single family
areas.
From "City of Edmonds Comprehensive
Plan (2015) — Medical/Highway 99
Activity Center and Highway 99 Corridor"
section, page 64:
"New development should be allowed and
encouraged to develop to the fullest extent
possible while assuring that the design
quality and amenities provided contribute
to the overall character and quality of the
corridor. Where intense development adjoins
residential areas, site design (including

PARKING STANDARDS
HWY 99 has many local and regional transit
options as well as regional trails and bike routes,
giving residents many travel options. In transit -
rich areas, it is common for communities to
reduce required on -site parking to encourage
higher rents and reduced affordability. Current
estimates for the cost of structured parking

RECOMMENDATION 12.1
The public process identified the need to clearly establish
the identify of Edmonds at the south end of the study
area, through gateway features, such as signage and
landscaping. The design treatments should clearly indicate
an arrival into Edmonds and distinguish this stretch of
HWY 99 from Shoreline. This could be accomplished in

RECOMMENDATION 14.1
Many amenities and community destinations exist near
HWY 99, but the public process revealed that finding
these amenities can be difficult, particularly for visitors.
Wayfinding signage with a uniquely Edmonds identity
should point out safe auto, bicycle and pedestrian routes
to surrounding amenities. The amenities and destinations
identified include downtown Edmonds, Lake Ballinger, the
Interurban Trail, new regional rail at Mountlake Terrace,
the International District, the Health District and hospital.

The subdistricts identified in this process and previous
processes highlight the existing nodes of similar
business activity, such as international businesses and
health and hospital related uses. The City should invest
in signage, lighting and art to improve the vitality of these
areas, and support business development organizations
that build capacity within the private sector. Some ideas
the City should pursue are unique branding for each
district, public and local art, street furniture, unique bus

The public workshop and stakeholder
engagement process revealed a few needed
improvements in transit, particularly related to
improving transit transfers. The City should
work with Community Transit and other transit
partners to ensure regional and local bus stops
are close together and schedules are aligned
to ensure convenient and efficient transfers.
This can be accomplished by a consolidation
or colocation of stations to reduce walking
distances between routes.
Specific improvements related to emphasizing
a new transit hub at 228th and HWY 99
include:
Consider a shuttle/transit service from HWY
99 to the Mountlake Terrace regional transit
center
Consider a consolidated transit stop at 228th

KEY TRANSPORTATION
IMPROVEMENTS
CLOSE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT GAP IN
PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS WITHIN THE CORRIDOR
The longest segment of Highway 99 in the Plan
Area without a controlled pedestrian crossing
is between 238th Street SW and 228th Street
SW —a distance of about 3,700 feet. Prior to
the completion of the 228th Street connection
between 76th Avenue W and the new traffic signal
at Highway 99, the longest segment without a
controlled crossing was nearly a mile. The short-
term recommendation to improve this major
obstacle to pedestrian travel is to install a traffic
signal on HWY 99 with pedestrian crossings on all
approaches.
the need for a pedestrian crossing at this location
These include:
This location is within a node having strong
redevelopment potential creating increased
demand for pedestrian travel.
The Community Health Center is located
500 feet to the north of this intersection and
Community Transit has bus stops on both
sides of HWY 99 without a safe crossing to
access the northbound bus stop.
The signal will need to be installed concurrently
with new development at the 234th Street node in
order to help meet signal warrants.

SIMPLEME 7.1.b
IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS FROM THE SOUTH
AT THE SR 104 INTERCHANGE
The present design of the SR 104 interchange
with HWY 99 is automobile dominated partial
cloverleaf with on and off -ramps designed for
moderate speeds. Sidewalks exist on both sides
of HWY 99 through the interchange but require
pedestrians to cross an on and off -ramp in either
direction. Most of these crossings are unmarked
and located on curves where traffic is accelerating
or decelerating from freeway speeds. Further,
bridge structure and trees restrict motorist sight
lines of pedestrians crossing the ramps. The
conditions are daunting for pedestrians and
likely discourage people from traversing the
interchange on foot.
The eastbound off -ramp at the southern end of
the interchange is configured more favorably
for pedestrians than the eastbound off -ramp at
the northern end because the intersection is the
terminus of a pedestrian pathway connecting
the surrounding neighborhoods to HWY 99. The
eastbound off -ramp is aligned at nearly a right
angle to HWY 99, is controlled by a stop sign, and
has a high visibility crosswalk crossing the ramp.
In contrast, all of the remaining crossings are at
uncontrolled and relatively high speed locations.
The long-term recommendation is to reconfigure
the ramps as conventional 90-degree stop control
intersections with marked crossings similar to the
eastbound off -ramp configuration. Trucks may be
accommodated through the use of low -angle slip
ramps and channelizing islands to keep crossing
distances short. Reconfiguration in this manner
improves visibility and slows turning traffic.
As a short-term interim improvement, install
pedestrian activated Rectangular Rapid Flashing
Beacons (RRFB's) with high -visibility crosswalk
markings at the pedestrian crossings of the
SR 104 on and off -ramps and provide new, or
redirect existing, safety lighting to illuminate the
crosswalks.

ENCOURAGE WALKING AND BICYCLING TO
ACCESS PLAN AREA FROM SURROUNDING
NEIGHBORHOODS
During the public workshop residents of the Plan
Area expressed concern regarding the safety of
walking and bicycling to the HWY 99 corridor from
their neighborhoods. Their concerns focused
on the rural nature of connecting streets which
lack sidewalks and lighting, and have overgrown
vegetation restricting sight distance. These
concerns extended onto HWY 99 where there was
EDMONDS HIGHWAY 91 SU Packet Pg. 238
IMPLEMENTATION
7.1.b
a general consensus on the need for safety and
street lighting on HWY 99 and on the residential
streets feeding into the corridor, particularly
pedestrian -scaled lighting. The conditions
described above limit the resident's desire to
access HWY 99 as a pedestrian or bicyclists
particularly at night. Specific streets identified in
the workshop include 240th Street SW between
84th Avenue W and 80th Way W and approach
HWY 99 and 224th Street SW approaching 76th
Avenue and HWY 99.
The City of Edmonds 2015 Comprehensive Plan
identifies several "complete streets" projects
on streets providing access to HWY 99. The
improvements —as described in the section
on Planned Improvements —include sidewalk
construction, drainage improvements, lighting,
and reallocation of the street's traveled way to
improve safety for all users. Expanding on these
projects to include additional streets feeding into
the corridor can alleviate the resident's concerns
about safety and dramatically increase active
modes of transportation.
Improvements need not be extensive to create
a more desirable pedestrian environment —
sidewalks can be constructed on one side
of narrow streets or paths of decomposed
granite with asphalt berms may suffice to move
pedestrians and bicyclists out of the street's
traveled way.
Regardless of the extensiveness of the
improvements, lighting should be a high priority in
all cases. Safety lighting (lighting that illuminates
intersection corners where pedestrians are
expected to cross) and street lighting (overhead
lighting that generally illuminates the width
of the street) as well as pedestrian -scaled
lighting (lighting on 12-17-foot tall standards
that illuminate the pedestrian walkway) are
fundamental prerequisites for walkable areas.
Streets that cannot be safely traveled by
pedestrians and bicyclists at night, will experience
limited travel during the day.
IMPROVE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN TRANSIT AND
MAJOR EMPLOYMENT CENTERS
The extensive transit network serving the corridor
is an opportunity to shift employee commute
modes at the corridor's larger employment
centers from driving to transit. Part of an effective
strategy to change employee travel behavior is
improving the physical connection between transit
and the destination. The SWIFT stations at 216th
Street SW serve the corridor's largest employment
center --the Swedish Hospital campus and its
associated medical offices. The SWIFT bus
rapid transit system is an ideal opportunity for
employees and patients/visitors to access the
campus by transit. However, the connection
between the stations and the various facilities
in the campus require pedestrians to walk up
steep grades and through parking lots to access
building entrances. The lack of connections,
direction and amenities discourages people from
taking transit to the site.
This Plan recommends improving the connection
between the Swift Stations at 216th Street
SW and the Swedish Hospital Campus by
implementing a pedestrian walkway system
(potentially covered) internal to the campus with
wayfinding to direct pedestrians to the various
campus facilities including future land uses that
support hospital expansion such as hotels and
medical office buildings within the Health Care
District.

PROJECT SUPPORTIVE PLANNED IMPROVEMENT OTHER
This type of corridorwide frontage improvement typically occurs as a condition Workshop
of approval when the fronting property redevelops. i
224th Street, as a route, provides access to a few destination such as the
interurban trail, but is not a primary route to major generators. However, many
residential neighborhoods feed into 224th and it may serve as a lower volume Workshop
and lower speed alternative for pedestrians and bicyclists. Near SR 99 224th
lacks sidewalks on one or both sides of the street.
Many of the workshop participants commented on the lack of street lighting on
streets intersecting or paralleling SR 99. Safety lighting (lighting that illuminates
intersection corners where pedestrians are expected to cross) and street
lighting (overhead lighting that generally illuminates the width of the street) Workshop
as well as pedestrian -scaled lighting (lighting on 12-17-foot tall standards that
illuminate the pedestrian walkway) are fundamental prerequisites for walkable
areas. Streets that cannot be safely traveled by pedestrians and bicyclists at
night, will experience limited travel during the day.
228th Street SW is one of the study area's only Complete Streets. It connects
the SR 99 corridor to numerous destinations including Highway 104 into
downtown, the interurban trail, parks and recreational facilities, and the
Mountlake Terrace Transit Center where Sound Transit's extension of the
Lynnwood LINK light rail will connect with local, commuter, and regional busses
by the year 2023. 228th is also a local bus route. Class II bicycle lanes on
228th connect SR 99 to the interurban trail. The City recently extended 228th
from 76th Avenue to complete its connection to SR 99. Other recent pedestrian Workshop
improvements in the corridor include new ADA compliant ramps at corners,
sidewalk repair, driveways moved to side streets, and an improved crosswalk
at the Interurban Trail crossing with new curb extensions. The very narrow
sidewalks on 228th that once connected to the Trail (two to three feet wide)
have been augmented with a multi -use path parallel to the west side of the
street extending to the Interstate 5. The pedestrian environment along some
segments of 228th need improvement.

The SWIFT stations at 216th Street SW serve corridor's largest employment center --
the Swedish Hospital campus and its associated medical offices. The SWIFT bus rapid
transit system and these stations are an ideal opportunity for employees and patients/
visitors to access the campus by transit. However, the connection between the stations Community Transit and DKS
and the various facilities in the campus are by 216th Street SW and SR 99 driveways Associates
requiring pedestrians to walk up steep grades and through parking lots to access
building entrances. The lack of connections, direction and amenities discourages people

The Interurban Trail generally parallels SR 99 and its alignment is closest to SR 99

B. Install a HAWK pedestrian activated signal
C. Install a temporary two -stage unsignalized crossing in the interim timeframe befotre a

The crossing at this location should be a priority given it improves access to the
community health facility from transit and closes a 3,500 foot gap in protected crossings
within this segment of Highway 99
Improvements at 240th are geared towards obtaining a pedestrian crossing of SR 99
to close one of the crossing gaps in the corridor and to improve vehicular safety and
access to the Burlington Coat Factory site. 240th Avenue at SR 99 is one of the highest SR 99 Access Management and
vehicular collision locations in the corridor and it is not prudent to add an unsignalized Cross Section Focused Assessment
crossing at thgis location. Current crossing demand is too low to warrant a short-term
pedestrian crossing improvement. See long-term improvements.
For long segments with numerous driveways, use intermittently placed medians to allow
left turn in/out functions at key driveways. Access managed segments must permit SR 99 Access Management and
u-turns at adjacent signalized intersections. Use median to restrict left turns from stop- Cross Section Focused Assessment

3. State of Washington Legal Requirements of M4 Highways. Class 4 Managed Access highways are designed to have a posted
speed limit of 30 to 35 mph in urbanized areas and 35 to 45 mph in rural areas. In urban areas and developing areas where higher
volumes are present or growth that will require a change in intersection control is expected in the foreseeable future, it is imperative
that the location of any public access point be planned carefully to ensure adequate traffic progression. Where feasible, major
intersecting roadways that might ultimately require intersection control changes are planned with a minimum of i-mile spacing.
Private access connections to the highway are spaced 250 feet apart, only a single access for individual or contiguous parcels under
the same owner, and variance permits may be allowed.
4. Within Incorporated Cities. Under PC 35.78.030 and RCW 47.50, incorporated cities and towns have jurisdiction over access

C. Pedestrian area.
1. For purposes of this chapter, the pedestrian area described herein is the area adjacent to the
street that encompasses the public right of way from the edge of the curb (or, if no curb, from
the edge of pavement) and the street setback area, as identified in Table A of this section.
2. The pedestrian area is composed of three zones: the activity zone, the pedestrian zone, and
the streetscape zone. Providing improvements to the pedestrian area, as needed to be
consistent with this subsection on at least the primary street, is required as part of development
projects, excluding development that would not add a new building or that consists of building
improvements that do not add floor area equaling more than 10% of the building's existing floor
area or that consists of additional parking stalls that comprise less than 10% of the existing
parking stalls or that consists of development otherwise exempted under this chapter.
a. Activity Zone. The activity zone shall be the open-air pedestrian area from the
building front to the edge of the pedestrian zone. The activity zone is the section of the
pedestrian area that is reserved for activities that commonly occur immediately
adjacent to the building facade. Typical amenities or activities included in the activity
zone include, but are not limited to, sidewalks, benches, potted plants, outdoor dining
and shopping. The area shall be paved to connect with the pedestrian zone in an ADA-
accessible manner. Stairs, stoops and raised decks or porches may be constructed in a
portion of the activity zone.

b. Pedestrian Zone. The pedestrian zone is located between the activity zone and the
streetscape zone. The pedestrian zone consists of a minimum 5-foot clear and
unobstructed path for safe and efficient through -traffic for pedestrians. Architectural
projections and outdoor dining may be permitted to encroach into the pedestrian zone
only where a minimum 5-foot clear path and 7-foot vertical clearance is maintained
within the pedestrian zone.
c. Streetscape Zone. The streetscape zone is located between the curb or pavement
edge to the edge of the pedestrian zone and shall be a minimum of 5 feet wide. The
streetscape zone is the section that is reserved for pedestrian use and for amenities and
facilities that commonly occur between the adjacent curb or pavement edge and
pedestrian through -traffic. Typical amenities and facilities in the streetscape zone
include, but are not limited to, street trees, street lights, benches, bus stops, and bike
racks. Street trees shall be required in conformance with the Edmonds Street Tree Plan.

connection and ventilation, compliant with the City's building codes, to support potential or
actual future electric vehicle charging stations.
6. Bicycle storage spaces: Bicycle storage spaces for multifamily housing, excluding housing for
assisted living or other specialized facilities where the development services director finds that
the targeted population is not likely to use bicycles, shall be provided for residents at a ratio of 1
bicycle storage space for each residential unit under 700 square feet and 2 bicycle storage
spaces for each residential unit greater than 700 square feet. Bicycle storage spaces shall
consist of storage racks, lockers, or other secure space to accommodate sheltered, safe, and
2017.05.05 Page 8
Packet Pg. 269
7.1.c
convenient bicycle storage for building residents. Such space may be in a vehicle parking garage
or another appropriate location but shall not be provided as open storage on a deck or balcony.
Where sheltered bicycle storage is being provided within a dedicated common space of the
building, the total number of required bicycle storage spaces may be reduced by up to 50% from
that which is otherwise required, provided that one or more secure bicycle racks, useable by
visitors, for at least four bicycles is provided within the front setback of the property.
7. Driveways accessing Highway 99: All driveway connections to Highway 99 must meet the
applicable requirements of the Washington State Department of Transportation, including
minimum requirements for distance between driveway access connections, which may be up
to 250 feet to help promote traffic safety and minimize pedestrian -vehicle conflicts.
8. Paths within Parking Lots.
a. Pedestrian paths in parking lots shall be delineated by separate paved routes that
meet federal accessibility requirements and that use a variation in textures and/or
colors and may include landscape barriers and landscape islands.
b. Pedestrian paths shall be provided at least every 180 feet within parking lots. These
shall be designed to provide access to onsite buildings as well as to pedestrian
walkways that border the development.
c. Pedestrian paths shall be a minimum of six feet in width and shall be separated from

2017.05.05 Page 9
Packet Pg. 270
7.1.c
adjacent developments if feasible.
b. Internal pedestrian routes shall extend to the property line and connect to existing
pedestrian routes where applicable. Potential future connections shall also be
identified such that pedestrian access between developments can occur without
walking in the parking or access areas.
c. Where a transit station or bus stop is located in front of or adjacent to a parcel,
pedestrian connections linking the station or stop directly to the development are
required.
d. Pedestrian routes shall connect buildings on the same site to each other.
C. Site Design and Layout: Overall, the design and use of each site shall be based on the building/street
relationship and on the integration of pedestrian features. This will take the form of either a Pedestrian
Oriented Design Area or an Alternative Walkable Design Area, as described below in subsections 1 and 2
of this section, provided that an exceptions process, pursuant to Subsection 3 below, may be allowed
under the provisions of this section. Additional site design and layout standards in this section must also
be met.
1. Pedestrian Oriented Design Area: Unless otherwise permitted under subsections 2 or 3 of this
section, development must meet the requirements of this subsection for a pedestrian -oriented
design area.
Primary Frontage. At least 50% of a building's facade facing the primary public street
shall be located within 20 feet of the property line where the primary street
frontage exists. The illustration below provides an example of this concept. The
requirement does not apply to buildings that are behind another building on the
same lot when the other building has a footprint of at least 3000 square feet and
has met the requirement. Where site constraints preclude strict compliance with
the requirement, the building line shall be measured one foot behind the line
created by that constraint. On a corner lot or a lot with frontages on multiple
streets, the development services director shall determine the primary street
frontage considering the following:
i. The street classification of the adjacent streets;
ii. The prevailing orientation of other buildings in the area;
iii. The length of the block face on which the building is located; or
iv. Unique characteristics of the lot or street.
The building must include a prominent pedestrian entry on the primary frontage.
Vehicle parking, other than where permitted for vehicle sales use, shall not be
located within the first 20 feet of the primary street frontage. The first 20 feet of
the primary street frontage may include building space, landscaping, artwork,
seating areas, outdoor displays, and pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
2017.05.05 Page 10
Packet Pg. 271
7.1.c
2. Alternative Walkable Design Area Option: An alternative to the pedestrian -oriented design
area requirements of subsection 1 in this section may be allowed by the development services
director only for sites that the director has found to have unique and significant constraints
related to pedestrian access and for which a phased design plan to increase pedestrian access
and connectivity has been submitted to the development services department. While they
currently may be largely auto -oriented, Walkable Design Areas have a high potential for walking,
bicycling and transit service. If a development is allowed to use this standard, it shall be subject
to the requirements of this subsection.
Building Placement: For any new building permitted on a property after August 1,
2017, a minimum of 50% of the building's fagade facing the primary street shall be
located within 60 feet of the front property line or within 65 feet where a 5-foot
landscaping area is provided between the parking lot and the sidewalk. When site
constraints preclude strict compliance with this requirement, the building line shall
be measured one foot behind the line created by that constraint.
On a corner lot or a lot with frontages on multiple streets, the development services
director shall determine the primary street frontage considering the following:
i. The street classification of the adjacent streets;
ii. The prevailing orientation of other buildings in thearea;
iii. The length of the block face on which the building is located;
iv. The location of any alley or parking areas; or
V. Unique characteristics of the lot or street.
c. No more than one double —sided row of parking spaces shall be allowed in the front
of a building on its primary frontage.
d. A pedestrian entrance must be located on the primary frontage.
Building facade facing
primary street shall be
Pedestrian entrance located within 60 feet of
the front properly fine
Primary street frontage
e. Required Amenity spaces, under subsection 4 below, shall be located to
connect the building to the street as much as practicable, provided that
amenity space may also be located between buildings where the space will be
used in common.

7.1.c
3. Exceptions Process for Pedestrian or Walkable Design: An exception to the exact
requirements of subsections 1 or 2 of this section may be allowed by the hearing
examiner under a Type IIIA decision process to provide for design flexibility that still
encourages pedestrian orientation and efficient land uses when the following criteria are
met:
a. The property is located within 300 feet of a highway interchange and has
unique pedestrian access constraints or is primarily used for motor vehicle
sales;
b. The development provides business and pedestrian areas that are near the
primary street frontage and likely to be active throughout the day and
evening;
c. The development features a prominent building entry for pedestrian use that
is highly visible and connected by a well -lit walkway from the primary street
frontage;
d. At least 25% of the required amenity space shall be located to connect the
building to the street in a manner that encourages pedestrian use and include
seating, landscaping, and artwork
e. Where a site has multiple buildings (excluding accessory utility buildings), 50%
or more of the required amenity space shall be located between buildings to
allow for shared use.
f. No more than 50% of vehicle parking, other than that associated with a
permitted vehicle sales facility use, may be located within 20 feet of the front
property line.
g. One or more buildings on the site must have at least two stories of useable
space.
4. Amenity space. Amenity space is intended to provide residents, employees, and visitors
with places for a variety of outdoor activities.
An area equivalent to at least 5% of the building footprint shall be
provided as amenity space. If a vehicle parking area is being added to
the site without the concurrent development of a building of at least
2,000 square feet, amenity space must be provided to equal at least 5%
of the additional parking area.
The amenity space shall be outdoor space that incorporates pedestrian -
oriented features, such as, but not limited to, seating, paths, gazebos,
dining tables, pedestrian -scale lighting, and artwork. A minimum of 10%
of the required amenity space shall be comprised of plantings, which
may include tree canopy areas and other shade or screening features.
Native vegetation is encouraged.
The majority of the required amenity space must be provided in one or
more of the following forms:
i. Recreation areas: an open space available for recreation. The
area may be spatially defined by landscaping rather than
building frontages. Its surface shall consist primarily of hardy
groundcover or a material conducive to playground or
recreational use. Decorative landscape features, such as flower
2017.05.05 Page 12
Packet Pg. 273
7.1.c
beds, shall not comprise more than 15% of the total area.
Plazas: an open space available for community gathering and
commercial activities. A plaza shall be spatially defined primarily
by either building facades, with strong connections to interior
uses, or close proximity to the public sidewalk, especially at the
intersection of streets. Its surface shall be primarily hardscape,
provided that trees, shade canopies, and other landscaping, as
well as water features and artwork, may add visual or
environmental features to the space.
iii. Squares or courtyards: an open space available for unstructured
recreation or community gathering purposes. A square is
spatially defined by building facades with strong connections to
interior uses. Its surface shall be primarily hardscape,
supplemented by trees and other landscaping. Water features
and artwork are optional.
iv. Exception: A community garden may comprise a portion of any
amenity space, provided that it:
1) is located more than 20 feet from a primary street
frontage;
2) is dedicated to ongoing use by residents of the site,
including for growing edible produce; and
3) includes facilities for watering the garden and storing
garden supplies.
Lighting: All lighting shall be shielded and directed downward and away from adjacent
parcels. This may be achieved through lower poles at the property lines and/or full "cut off"
fixtures.
a. Parking lots shall have lighting poles that are a maximum of 25 feet in height.
Pedestrian paths or walkways and outdoor steps shall have pedestrian -scaled
lighting focused on the travel path. Pole height shall be a maximum of 14 feet,
although lighting bollards are preferred.
b. For pedestrian paths and walkways on internal portions of the site, solar -powered
lighting may be sufficient.
c. Entries shall have lighting for safety and visibility integrated with the
building/canopy.
D. Building Design Standards
1. General. To provide variety and interest in appearance, the following design elements should
be considered, and a project shall demonstrate how at least four of the elements will be used to
vary the design of the site:
a. Building massing and unit layout,
b. Placement of structures and setbacks,
c. Location of pedestrian and vehicular facilities,
d. Composition and character of open space, plant materials and street trees,
e. Variety in architectural elements, fagade articulation, and/or building materials,
f. Roof variation in slope, height and/or materials.
2017.05.05 Page 13

7.1.c
2. Building Design and Massing.
Buildings shall convey a visually distinct "base" and "top, which may be achieved
through differences in massing elements and/or architectural details.
The bulk and scale of buildings of over 3,000 square feet in footprint shall be
mitigated through the use of massing and design elements such as facade
articulation and modulation, setbacks, step -backs, distinctive roof lines or forms,
and other design details.
Primary Frontage: On the primary frontage, to provide visual connection between
activities inside and outside the building, 50% of the building facade between 2 and
10 feet in height, as measured from the adjacent sidewalk, shall be comprised of
■ 50% Min Transparency (may include all
windows and glass doors, but not mirrored
Knishes)
windows or doors that are transparent, the bottom of which may not be more than
4 feet above the adjacent sidewalk. A departure from this standard may be
approved when the facade will not be visible from the public street due to the
placement of other buildings on the site, provided that the requirements of
subsection "e " in this section shall apply.
i. On the primary frontage, no vehicle parking shall be located within the first
20 feet of the first level of a building facing the street except where such
parking is underground.

street, other than for the primary frontage or those facing an alley or the last block
of a dead-end street, shall comply with the standard below.
i. Thirty percent (30%) of the building facade between 2 and 10 feet in height
shall be made of windows or doors that are transparent, the bottom of
which may not be more than four feet above the adjacent sidewalk.
Windows shall not be mirrored or have glass tinted darker than 40% in
order to meet this requirement.
e. Wall treatment: Building facades not subject to all requirements of ECDC
16.60.030.D.2.c or ECDC 16.60.030.D.2.d are intended to not display blank,
unattractive walls to the public or to other building tenants. To accomplish this,
walls greater than 30 feet in length shall have architectural treatment that
incorporates at least four of the following elements into the design of the facade:
i. Masonry (except for flat concrete block).

Council in late 2016) was put on hold in late May following concerns about impacts to the nearby
demo garden. Public Works staff has researched two lighting options:
SnoPUD
0 3 poles — 35' mounting height
0 161' spacing
0 50w LED Acuity Roadway Type II 3,000 deg. K (equivalent to 118w HPS)
o Choice of house -side shield or light trespass shield (most aggressive)
o City installs buried conduit (halted)
o PUD installs and maintains fiberglass direct -bury poles and luminaires
o Monthly charge approx. $6 each
o Cost of installation: $12,772
Sternberg
0 5 poles — 13.5' mounting height
0 82' spacing
0 32w LED Roadway Type IV 3,000 deg. K (equivalent to approx.. 80w HPS)
o No additional house -side shield or cut-off available
o City does entire installation including concrete bases
o City owns and maintains system — buys power from PUD
o Cost of poles and luminaires: $10,875.00
Mr. Williams displayed photographs of the lights in both options and provided the following comments:
• Initial cost is similar, affordable
• Choice between City -owned and operated/maintained system versus a system where
SnoPUD is responsible for O&M and replacement
• Concern regarding the IES footprint of the Sternberg Type IV fixture without an additional
shield
• Staff recommends SnoPUD package

Ms. Hite relayed the Pilchuck Audubon Society's preference for an option that limits light spillage into
the demo garden. She urged caution about light spillage into an area close to the road where nests
have been found.
Discussion followed regarding the existing high intensity light in the hatchery and public safety
purpose of that light, where pedestrians walk (north side), specialty lighting the developer put in,
concern other neighborhoods will want specialty lighting, volunteers' concern plants were damaged by
installation of the conduit, staff's limited trimming of shrubs to install the conduit, regrowth of native
vegetation, existing lighting at Pt. Edwards, wildlife in the area, preference for pedestrian lights on
Pine Street, the developer's responsibility for improvements to Pine Street once Building 10 is
complete, finding a solution agreeable to Pt. Edwards and the demo garden (Pilchuck Audubon), the
IES pattern for the SnoPUD option with shields, and Pt. Edwards' residents' concern with delaying a
decision. Mr. Williams and Ms. Hite offered to meet with Pilchuck Audubon Society president.
Action: Staff meet with Pilchuck Audubon Society and have further discussion at the August 8 PPP
meeting.
3. Historic Informational Panels for Yost Park and Waterfront Mills
Ms. Hite relayed Council approved funding for the interpretive panels in December 2016 and
requested the final design and proposed sites be approved by Council following Planning Board and
Arts Commission review. The Arts Commission approved the panels in June 2017. The Planning
Board approved the panels in June 2017 with comments regarding the potential need to move the
Sunset Avenue panel in the future and including language that references both signs. Ms. Hite
reviewed revised language for the Waterfront Mills and Yost Park panels.
Councilmember Johnson displayed full-scale copies of the panels and language on the signs was
further revised in an effort to reduce the number of words. It was also suggested the photograph on
