ORDINANCE NO.4284
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON,
REPEALING THE INTERIM DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS FOR
THE CG ZONE CONTAINED IN ORDINANCE 4278.
WHEREAS, the City of Edmonds completed a subarea planning process for the Highway
99 corridor in 2017, which included adopting the subarea plan into the Comprehensive Plan
(Ord. 4077), updating the General Commercial zoning in Chapter 16.60 ECDC (Ord. 4078), and
establishing the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
as a planned action (Ord. 4079); and
WHEREAS, concerns were raised in 2022 as to whether Ordinance 4078 properly
excluded upper story step back language that was contained in Alternative 2 to the Planned
Action EIS; and
WHEREAS, on October 4, 2022, the city council adopted Ordinance 4278 as an
emergency interim ordinance to establish upper story step backs for development across the
street from single family zones until additional consideration could be given to whether such step
backs should be adopted as a permanent regulation; and
WHEREAS, additional research was done after the adoption of Ordinance 4278, which
indicates that the 2017 city council expressly evaluated and rejected the upper story step backs
that were described in Alternative 2 to the Planned Action EIS and that their exclusion from
Ordinance 4078 was intentional; and
