CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The agenda items approved are as follows:
A. APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 10, 2015
B. APPROVAL OF CLAIM CHECKS #213217 THROUGH #213329 DATED MARCH 12,
2015 FOR $660,479.25

COMMISSION
E. APPROVING CHANGES TO CAPITAL PRIORITIES IN THE 2015 BUDGET FOR THE
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
ITEM D. AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH MURRAY SMITH & ASSOCIATES FOR THE 2016
COMPREHENSIVE WATER SYSTEM PLAN UPDATE
Council President Fraley-Monillas asked about the funding source. Public Works Director Phil Williams
answered this is a carryover from last week’s briefing on a problem with the K-Turbo blower at the
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) that provides oxygen for biological treatment. The blower failed
last year and needs to be replaced and was not included in the 2015 budget. Other projects have been
delayed in completing their full scope so a budget amendment is not needed to increase spending
authority in the wastewater fund to cover the new costs. This is merely authorization for the Finance
Director to include an amendment in the first quarter budget amendment to recognize the new revenue
from the partners in the WWTP.
He recalled describing to the Council last week the two change orders that would be necessary to
purchase and install and program this new equipment. The two change orders were provided to the
Council at the dais. He reviewed Change Order No. 1; a contract with the State; Amersco is the contractor
the State has assigned. The contract for $885,000 was approved and included in the budget; the change
order adds $321,312 to cover the purchase of the blower from the supplier, Aerzen, installation, piping,
plumbing, valving, design and guarantee. The cost will be paid back over time through energy savings.
He reviewed Change Order No. 2; a $1.4 million contract with Parametrix to completely reprogram the
City’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, the computer and fiber optics that
operate the plant. That equipment is about 23 years old and it is time for the hardware and software to be
replaced. Change Order No. 2 adds $207,001 to allow Parametrix to incorporate the already approved
blower and the new blower.
Mr. Williams summarized:
• The total includes all cost increases to replace the failed 250 hp K-turbo primary blower with the
new 150 hp Aerzen Hybrid Blower
• Total Cost $528,313
- Parametrix $207,001
- Amersco (State DOC) $321,312
• Total increase in WWTP capital spending in 2015 $500,000
• No increase in total Wastewater capital spending for 2015
• Seeking authorization for Mayor to sign the two change orders
Packet Page 7 of 320
Mayor Earling reminded this was presented to the Council at the study session; the information regarding
the change orders was inadvertently omitted.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
MESAROS, TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE TWO CHANGE ORDERS.
Councilmember Bloom observed the blower failed in slightly longer than five years and was no longer
under warranty but it should have lasted 20-30 years. Recognizing this is a large amount of money, she
asked whether there was any way to recover any of cost. Mr. Williams responded several repairs were
made during the five-year warranty period. The blower would work for a while and then fail again; it
limped along for the five years progressively getting worse to the point now it needs major repairs and the
warranty period has expired. The vendor, a Korean company, is no longer in business; a US company
purchased the technology but did not take legal responsibility for any existing installations. Staff is
discussing with WCIA whether there is any insurance coverage; he will inform the Council of the
outcome.
Councilmember Bloom asked if there were other cities in similar position that are trying to recover funds
from the Korean company. Mr. Williams answered this was an unusual thing; he was unsure why the
blower failed. A lot of these blowers were installed 5-6 years ago due to the huge energy savings. This
blower failed for some reason.
Council President Fraley-Monillas advised she should have pulled Item E instead of Item D.
Councilmember Petso asked whether the change orders were presented at the study session. Mr. Williams
answered he provided the numbers at the study session but the change orders had not yet been executed
by the contractor.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
MESAROS, TO APPROVE ITEM D. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
For Councilmember Mesaros, City Attorney Jeff Taraday said a vote to reconsider is not necessary unless
a Councilmember wants to vote against Item E because it was already approved on the Consent Agenda.
Councilmember Bloom asked why Council President Fraley-Monillas wanted Item E removed from the
Consent Agenda. Council President Fraley-Monillas responded she wanted to know the source of the
funding. Mayor Earling advised staff requested Item E be removed to ensure all the information was
available which is what Mr. Williams explained.
COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETSO, TO
RECONSIDER ITEM E. UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION CARRIED (4-2), COUNCIL PRESIDENT
FRALEY-MONILLAS AND COUNCILMEMBERS BLOOM, PETSO AND NELSON VOTING
YES; AND COUNCILMEMBERS JOHNSON AND MESAROS VOTING NO.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
NELSON, TO APPROVE ITEM E.
Councilmember Bloom said she moved for reconsideration so Council President Fraley-Monillas could
get her questions answered. Council President Fraley-Monillas advised all her questions were answered.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
5. OATH OF OFFICE FOR NEWLY PROMOTED POLICE SERGEANT
Packet Page 8 of 320
Police Chief Al Compaan commented an oath is an important public recognition of personal achievement
and a personal pledge to the highest legal, ethical and professional standards critical to the law
enforcement mission. He described Sergeant Hawley’s background, beginning his career as a police
explorer, was hired as a reserve officer in 1999, and a full-time officer in 2001. He has degrees in criminal
justice and law enforcement administration from Shoreline Community College and City University.
From 2004 to 2011 he worked as a K9 handler with his partner Rocky. When Rocky retired in 2011,
Sergeant Hawley was assigned as a fraud detective for a year and then promoted to corporal, returning to
patrol in 2012. He received a new K9 partner, Kira, and was again a K9 handler until his assignment as
detective corporal in January 2015. With his expertise as a dog handler, Sergeant Hawley has mentored
and trained new K9 teams for the department including the current team of Officer Robinson and his
partner, Hobbs.
Sergeant Hawley has been honored with several letters of commendation and was the 2008 Chief Stern
Memorial Officer of the Year. In 2011 Sergeant Hawley received a meritorious service citation for his
partnership with Rocky. He is committed to the training and well-being of the department’s officers. He
has worked on implementation of a peer support program, has been a field training officer for new
officers and rewrote the field training officer manual. For the last two years he has coordinated the annual
award ceremony held each May during National Police Week. Upon his promotion, Sergeant Hawley has
been named administrative sergeant which includes responsibility for records and the property room.
With the June go-live date scheduled for the new computer aided dispatch and records management
software, New World, he will have a big job.
Sergeant Hawley introduced his family in audience, his wife Shelly, father Alvin and sister Shawn, and
children Alison, Colt and Megan.
Chief Compaan administered the oath of office to Sergeant Hawley. Sergeant Hawley’s wife pinned his
badge. Chief Compaan presented Sergeant Hawley with a framed Certificate of Promotion.
Sergeant Hawley thanked everyone, particularly his wife who put up with him taking test after test and
being grumpy due to stress as well as his children and family for their support. He also thanked his law
enforcement family, stating he was honored to serve with them.
Numerous police personnel and cadets were present in the audience.
6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Val Stewart, Edmonds, wanted to raise citizens’ awareness about the public comment to the Washington
Department of Ecology (DOE) on updates to the City’s Shoreline Master Program (SMP) to manage six
miles of marine and lake shoreline within the City. The SMP would establish unique environmental
designations for different types of shorelines with buffers and setbacks tailored to reflect existing land
uses and ecological conditions, increase protection of nearshore habitats and encourage preservation of
existing shoreline vegetation and help support the broader initiative to protect and restore Puget Sound.
Comments will be accepted through 5 p.m. March 27, 2015 and should be addressed to David Pater,
DOE. More information is available on the City’s website under public notices; the draft SMP sent to
DOE for review can be found by googling DOE and questions can be directed to Kernen Lien, Planning
Department, or the contact at DOE. Taking public comments into consideration, the DOE may approve
the approved SMP update as written, reject or identify specific modifications to meet the SMA and
applicable state regulations.
Ms. Stewart encouraged the public to review SMP agenda items in the City Council minutes of October
21 and November 18, 2014 which reflect the final stages of the process. On November 18, 2014 the City
Packet Page 9 of 320
Council adopted a resolution of intent to approve the SMP which includes a provision that the Urban
Mixed Use IV designation of the Edmonds Marsh require a buffer of 50 feet and a setback of 100 feet,
residential use was not included in Mixed Use IV. The City intends to study the issues surrounding the
Edmonds Marsh and related Urban Mixed Use IV interim designation for two years from the effective
date of the SMP. At the end of the study period, the City will adopt appropriate shoreline environment
designations for the area surrounding the Edmonds Marsh including evaluating whether a new
designation is needed and whether the entire are should have the same designation.
7. PUBLIC FACILITIES DISTRICT (PFD)/EDMONDS CENTER FOR THE ARTS (ECA) UPDATE
ECA Board President David Brewster and owner of Edmonds Bookshop with wife Mary Kay
Sneeringer, said the membership of the ECA Board, currently 21 and counting, is made up of
Councilmembers’ friends, neighbors and local business associates. Along with their mix of skills and
experience, they share a common passion for the mission of the ECA. Their standing committee structure
that includes members of the PFD Board and several non-board member citizens, allows the creation of
memorable experiences for ECA visitors as well as the larger constituency of business and political
partners and the many students, families and seniors visited by artists in schools, hospitals and senior
centers. They are proud of their commitment, together with staff and over 100 local volunteers to an
institution that is both a leading economic driver and a cultural touchstone of the community.
Joe McIalwain, ECA Executive Director, recognized Councilmember Petso who has been the liaison to
the EPFD for many years and welcomed Councilmember Nelson to the Council. He provided the ECA’s
vision and mission:
• Vision: A vibrant community in which the performing arts are woven into our daily lives and
valued for their power to entertain, educate and inspire.
• Mission: To celebrate the performing arts, strengthen and inspire our community, and steward
the development and creative use of the ECA campus.

Mr. McIalwain provided a spreadsheet of operating income/expense, FY 2012 Actual, FY 2013 Actual,
FY 2014 projected actual and FY 2015 forecast, highlighting revenue from ticket sales and fees, rental
revenue, expenses for facilities/operations, labor costs, and other expenses. He provided a spreadsheet of
non-operating income/expense: revenue and expense 2013 actual, 2014 projected actual and 2015
forecast. He explained when the PFD is unable to meet its obligation to pay the bonds, the contingent loan
agreement allows the PFD to ask City for a loan to meet that obligation. He was encouraged the Tier 2
allocation from Snohomish County PFD is growing rapidly; it increased from $10,000 in 2014 to $50,000
in 2015. The forecasted loan from the City in 2015 will be $124,542, down from $167,000 in 2014.
Mr. McIalwain relayed the estimated annual economic impact of ECA: $3,236,000

Mr. McIalwain explained Ms. Jones is an example of investments in additional labor costs that provides
more capacity and education and outreach. He thanked her for joining the team and making a lot of this
possible. To keep doing what the ECA is doing takes community support. He referred to, “Connecting
Our Community through the Performing Arts,” a synopsis of ECA and ways to support ECA that is used
for fundraising and telling ECA’s story when seeking sponsorship and other community support. He
pointed out the ECA will celebrate its 10th anniversary season in 2 seasons. The brochure represents what
the ECA looked like in his head nine years ago.
Mr. McIalwain thanked Mayor Dave Earling, Edmonds City Council, Citizens of Edmonds, volunteer
Boards of Directors of Edmonds Public Facilities District & Edmonds Center for the Arts, Edmonds
School District, ECA Staff, the 150 Volunteers, Partners and Rental Clients, Sponsors and Donors,
Subscribers and Ticket Buyers.
Councilmember Bloom asked how often the songwriting program via a partnership with Elderwise and
Aegis of Edmonds will be offered and how it is advertised. Ms. Jones answered this is the first time ECA
has worked with Songwriting Works; the participants for the songwriting workshops are residents at
Aegis. The training program is free and open to the public. It has been advertised throughout the
community and Elderwise has spread the word via their network of professionals in elder and memory
care. This is a pilot project and a determination will be made whether it can be done on an ongoing basis.
Councilmember Bloom inquired about the grant for the restroom renovation. Mr. McIalwain explained
when the front of the theater was renovated in 2005-2006, the remainder of the school building,
gymnasium, and music building were not addressed. The restrooms that will be renovated are on the main
level of the school building behind the theater and are the same as they existed when built in 1939. The
CBDG, federal funds that Snohomish County distributes to projects that meet the requirements, requires
the renovation make the restroom ADA accessible. He noted that will be fantastic for users of the building
as well as performers in next year’s, Axis Dance, several of whom are wheelchair-bound. The goal is to
finish the restroom renovation before that performance. The grant provides $102,000; some matching
funds are still needed.
Packet Page 12 of 320
Councilmember Mesaros thanked Mr. McIalwain for everything he does and for having a vision nine
years ago that is being fulfilled today. He also thanked Mr. McIalwain’s staff and volunteers present in
the audience, noting the ECA enhances the City.
Councilmember Johnson expressed support for the arts and her appreciation for everything the ECA does
from students to seniors. She recalled the restrooms because she attended junior high there. She asked the
status of the gymnasium roof. Mr. McIalwain explained the gymnasium was closed for about a week two
months ago because the leaks were so extensive it was not safe to use. A company was engaged to do
short-term torch-down work to stop the major leaks and make the gymnasium useable; that cost was
covered by insurance. Today a staff member reported another leak. He thanked the Council for making
the ECA gymnasium roof a priority in the City’s legislative agenda. He has been visiting representatives
in Olympia to garner support for funding for the entire roof and flashing cap around the perimeter. The
flashing cap around the perimeter is necessary to preserve the 1921 unreinforced masonry walls. If the
legislature does not provide those funds, they will seek support from the private sector. He is also
working on a grant at the county level to receive a portion of lodging tax funds for that project.
Councilmember Petso thanked the presentation team and the supporters in the audience.
Mayor Earling commented Mr. McIalwain is a relative new comer to this project; his 10 years is predated
by several people in the room. He complimented Mr. McIalwain, the staff members, volunteers, and the
ECA and PFD Boards. The programs that have been redeveloped over last 5-6 years have begun to
develop the breadth and depth of the facility’s potential.

o Capital Facilities Element
o Review proposed 2015 Comprehensive Plan update (target public hearing in June)
• Continue code update work
o Critical Area Code
o Draft Tree Code
o Development Code
• Other as referred by City Council and/or staff
He asked if there was anything else related to parks that the Council wanted the Planning Board to
explore.
Council President Fraley-Monillas relayed her support for the Planning Board’s focus on the code update.
With regard to the Planning Board’s retreat, she noted Swedish-Edmonds has great meeting rooms
available.
Councilmember Nelson said he missed working with the Planning Board Members. He appreciated what
they do and urged them to keep up the good work.
9. PUBLIC HEARING ON DRAFT CULTURE & URBAN DESIGN ELEMENT -
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
Development Services Director Shane Hope explained the Comprehensive Plan is under review to meet
the State deadline for updating the plan by June 30, 2015. The City Council and Planning Board have
been doing a sequential review of elements. The focus has been on updating data, housekeeping
amendments as well as possibly small policy items.
Staff involved with the culture and urban design, Parks & Recreation, Public Works, Economic
Development and Development Services Departments, reviewed and proposed updates to the Element
that were then presented to the Planning Board. The Planning Board reviewed the Element on February
25 and March 11. The Council packet contains a clean version as well as a track change version.
This element currently has two sections, Community Culture and Urban Design. The proposal is to update
language, clarify language in the Community Culture section including updating the narrative that refers
to the Community Cultural Plan. In the track change version of Urban Design section of the Element, she
recognized there is what appears to be a great deal of new language; in reality much of it was moved from
the Land Use Element to the Urban Design Element. She recalled when the Land Use Element was
presented to Council, staff advised many things in the Land Use Element regarding design would be
moved into the Urban Design Element, such as language regarding specific districts, like the Downtown
Waterfront and Highway 99, as well as consolidation of existing language.
She provided example of language consolidation:
• Page 177, A.9 Lighting: Instead of three objectives, they were combined into one statement,
“Provide adequate and appropriate illumination in all areas used by automobiles, bicycles and
pedestrians – including building entries, walkways, parking areas, circulation areas and other
open spaces – to support activity and security.” Ms. Hope commented from her perspective that
was still too detailed for a Comprehensive Plan but the intent was to retain the existing concepts.
• Page 178, A.11: Site utilities, Storage, Trash and Mechanical Systems: Instead of multiple
objectives, they were combined into one, “Minimize the noise, odor and visual impacts of utility
systems using such features as landscaping, building forms, or integrated design.”
Packet Page 15 of 320
• A new section regarding streetscape and street trees will be reviewed by the Planning Board and
Tree Board and presented to Council in April.
Ms. Hope reviewed new steps:
• March 17: Public hearing on the draft
• March 24: City Council study session
• Now through June 2015: Ongoing work to update other Comprehensive Plan elements
• Public hearing on full draft Comprehensive Plan update (June 2015)
Councilmember Petso asked for clarification that the Council needs to act on the Comprehensive Plan in
June. Ms. Hope expected there will be public hearings in June but the Council will not act until July.
Councilmember Petso referred to a sentence in the draft that reads, “The strip type of development along
Highway 99 has often resulted in economic underdevelopment of private properties that end up being
aesthetically displeasing.” She recalled the Planning Board minutes reflected a desire to eliminate that
sentence. Ms. Hope offered to research that and provide further information at the March 24 meeting.
Councilmember Petso recalled mentioning at the retreat that she was interested in challenging some
assumptions; this sentence embodies several of the assumptions she would like to challenge. For example,
the idea that strip malls are only on Highway 99 or properties on Hwy 99 are economically
underdeveloped but perhaps other properties are not, or that strip malls are inherently aesthetically
displeasing and other types of development are somehow more visually pleasing. She offered that
observation on the off-chance a member of the public would comment on the assumptions.
Councilmember Bloom referred to a statement on page 4 regarding pursing public and private funding for
cultural sites. She asked whether the City was charged with pursuing private funding for sites such as the
Edmonds Theater and the Masonic Hall. Ms. Hope said that language may need to be clarified; the idea is
the City is involved in fundraising for public purposes and may partner with private non-profit
organizations but not necessarily that the City would pursue the funds. Councilmember Bloom agreed it
would be helpful to clarify that. She asked whether Edmonds Theater was a non-profit. Ms. Hope
answered she did not know for certain but most are.
Councilmember Bloom referred to page 12/181 regarding design guidelines and asked whether locating
buildings close to the street was a design guideline. Ms. Hope answered much of the language in the
Comprehensive Plan was left over from the past and goes beyond what she viewed as Comprehensive
Plan policy. The goal of this update was not to redo the entire Comprehensive Plan. Most of language in
red in the markup version was taken from the Land Use Element and inserted into the Urban Design
Element.
Councilmember Bloom referred to B.2 in the Urban Design section, “ Improve pedestrian access from the
street by locating building close to the street and sidewalks, and defining the street edge.” and B.4,
“Building Setbacks. Create a common street frontage view with enough repetition to tie each site to its
neighbor. Encourage the creation of public spaces to enhance the visual attributes of the development and
encourage outdoor interaction.” She said those statements appeared to be contradictory. She asked
whether these were design guidelines or code issues. Ms. Hope answered much of the current
Comprehensive Plan language was the result of interest in design guidelines when the City did not have
design guidelines. Again, with the intent of not rewriting the Plan, much of that language was retained.
She suggested the language be revisited after the code update.
Councilmember Mesaros said he doubted the Edmonds Theater was a non-profit.
Packet Page 16 of 320
Councilmember Bloom referred to page 5/174 and asked what was a sustainable design practice and
whether it was defined anywhere. Ms. Hope said she was not sure what was intended by that phrase but
typically it is a broad term that can be thought of in different ways. The general idea is something that is
sustainably designed will last a long time, be easy to maintain, be environmentally sensitive, etc.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether that was defined in the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Hope said the
definition in the Sustainability Chapter combines three ideas, healthy environment, healthy economy and
healthy community/quality of life.
Councilmember Bloom referred to page 10 and the statement, “Encourage new construction to avoid
repetitive monotonous building forms” and asked the intent of that language. Ms. Hope said that was also
old language, likely the intent was not to have rows of buildings that looked exactly the same.
Councilmember Bloom said that seems like a contradiction as other areas in the Comprehensive Plan
refer to historical buildings.
Councilmember Petso observed there is a provision in Comprehensive Plan to maintain a Strategic Plan to
provide direction to the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). She asked whether that referred to the
City’s Strategic Action Plan that the Economic Development Department is doing or HPC’s Strategic
Action Plan. Ms. Hope answered the HPC’s Strategic Action Plan. Councilmember Petso asked why that
would be in the Comprehensive Plan; the HPC tends to take direction from the enabling ordinance and
developed own Strategic Plan. Ms. Hope offered to research that. Councilmember Johnson recalled the
HPC Strategic Plan was a requirement for funding; that effort is led by Commissioner Waite and Planning
Manager Rob Chave. Councilmember Petso reiterated her question why it was in the Comprehensive
Plan. Ms. Hope said including reference in Comprehensive Plan aids funding. Councilmember Johnson
suggested the reference be to the HPC’s Strategic Plan.
Mayor Earling opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, observed a lot of the descriptions that were crossed out were good
descriptions. After hearing at a recent meeting that the Tree Board is not satisfied with the current
concentration of trees and wants more, he began looking for language in the code regarding views. A
citizen spoke at the Tree Board about a tree planted in a traffic island that now blocks their view. He
referred to language on page 144 regarding views that was crossed out. Views are important to citizens; if
references to views are eliminated, that does not reflect citizens’ concerns. The right trees need to planted
in the right places without obscuring views. He referred to language on page 139 regarding vehicular
access and safe streetscape downtown, pointing out the sidewalks coming up from ferry particularly on
the south side are a jungle of trees and cement that is not in good shape. He suggest special attention be
given to sidewalks downtown, many of them need repair. He referred to language on page 138 regarding
design in the downtown area and wall modulation where the phrase, “to let more light and air into the
building” is crossed out. He suggested the crossed out language is as important as what has been added
and encouraged the Council to review the language that has been crossed out.
Hearing no further comment, Mayor Earling closed the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Councilmember Bloom observed the pages Mr. Hertrich referenced are not in the packet. Ms. Hope
answered she was not sure about the pages he was referencing and would report on March 24.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.

LEOFF-Medical Ins Reserve, Risk Management Reserve Fund, Contingency Reserve Fund, Multimodal
Transportation Fund, Historic Preservation Gift Fund, Building Maintenance and Total. He highlighted:
• General Fund experienced $4.7 million increase over 2013, primarily due to bond refunding that
resulted in $2.4 million in proceeds. Without the proceeds from the bond, the General Fund only
experienced about a $1.89 million increase.
Mr. James displayed a General Fund Revenue Budget to Actual that illustrates YTD Actuals for 2013 and
2014 and % change; 2013 and 2014 budget and % change; and % of budget 2013 and 2014 for Taxes,

Mr. James displayed a table entitled, General Fund – Funds Expenditure Comparison for YTD 2013
expenses, YTD 2014 expenses, $ change ‘14-’13 and % change ’14 – ‘13 for the General Fund, LEOFF-
Medical Ins Reserve, Risk Management Reserve Fund, Contingency Reserve Fund, Multimodal
Transportation Fund, Historic Preservation Gift Fund, Building Maintenance and Total. He highlighted:
• $5.5 million increase in 2013 primarily due to bond refunding and paying off $2.7 million and
transfers to other funds reduced by $2 million
He displayed a General Fund Department Expense Summary illustrating 2014 Adopted Budget, YTD
2013 Expenditures, YTD 2014 Expenditures, Amount Remaining and % Spent. With regard to the
overage in Facilities Maintenance, he explained consultants are being interviewed to conduct a facilities
condition assessment to determine building needs in order to plan for future expenditures and avoid
overages. He displayed a table entitled, General Fund – Fund Balances, advising the General Fund
increased in 2014 by $1.1 million over 2013.
Mr. James displayed a table entitled, Special Revenue Funds Revenue Comparison illustrating YTD 2013
receipts, YTD 2014, receipts, $ change ’14 – ’13 and % change ’14 – 13. He highlighted:

Packet Page 19 of 320
Mr. James displayed graphs illustrating 5 year trends (2009-2014)
• Hotel/Motel Lodging Tax Revenues
o Upward trend until 2013
o Slight downward trend in 2014
o 75% of Lodging Tax is receipted into the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund which uses the funds for the
purpose of promoting tourism and visitors to Edmonds
o Remaining 25% of the Lodging Tax is receipted into the Fund 123 Tourism Promotion/Arts
Fund, which uses the funds to promote tourism through support arts and culture events
• Real Estate Excise Revenue
o Reflects economy
o Decrease in 2014 may be due to limited supply
Mr. James displayed a revenue comparison for the Utility Funds, pointing out a large decrease in 2014
compared to 2013 due to the Utility Funds’ issuance of $15 million in debt in 2013. He displayed an
expense comparison for the Utility Fund, noting expenses are flat for 2013 and 2014.
Councilmember Petso referred to packet page 155, Revenue by Fund Summary, that shows significantly
reduced revenues compared to budget for Funds 009, 011 and 012, the total close to $1 million. She noted
those funds do not have a revenue source, leading her to assume those funds were budgeted to receive
transfers but did not. Mr. James recalled when the 2015 budget was being developed the City received the
retroactive bill from Fire District 1 (FD1). One of the ways to mitigate the impact of that bill was to
decrease transfers to funds and retain them in the General Fund to pay the $1.6 million FD1 bill.
Councilmember Petso said she would discuss that further at their appointment on Friday.
Councilmember Petso referred to packet page 156, Expenditure by Fund Summary, that shows $38
million for 001 and the budget book showing $39 million in expected expenditures. She asked what
happened between the time the budget was adopted and now that resulted in $1 million less in
expenditures. Mr. James answered that was due to the transfers the General Fund was scheduled to make
that were not made.
Councilmember Petso referred to the chart regarding changes in sales tax revenue, noting the largest
decrease was in the category of amusement and recreation. She asked whether that was attributable to the
loss of the bowling alley. Mr. James answered no, there was a large back payment from non-paying entity
in 2013.
Councilmember Johnson commented it was interesting how dependent the City was on retail automotive
and gas; it represents approximately 25% of the overall revenue and about 50% in the retail recovery
during the past year.
For Councilmember Bloom, Mr. James explained a series of bonds were issued for the Utility Fund. The
Utility Fund has been on an every 2 year cycle for last 2 years; the last one was in 2013. He has been
meeting with bond counsel and bond broker to lay the groundwork to come to the City Council with a
2015 bond issue. Public Works has informed they expect to run out of bond proceeds in about a month
and are projecting they will need $10-11 million in bond funds in 2015. Councilmember Bloom recalled
the rates were increased to pay off the bonds. Mr. James explained the rate study that was done
recommended a six-year process of raising utility rates. The Council decided to raise rates for three years
and revisit it before implementing the second three years. This is year two of the three year cycle; staff
will revisit the issue next year and provide a more detailed report regarding how rate increases impacted
the ability to pay debt.
Packet Page 20 of 320
Councilmember Bloom asked the actual increase in revenue in the Utility Fund in 2014. Mr. James
referred to Utility Funds Revenue Comparison, explaining if the $15 million in debt proceeds in 2013 was
removed, there would be an upward trend in Utility proceeds.
Council President Fraley-Monillas observed the chart on tax revenue does not break out automotive and
gas. She asked the gas tax revenue 2014 compared to 2013. Mr. James advised he plans to break out
automotive sales and gas beginning January 2015. Council President Fraley-Monillas referred to sales tax
from Highway 99 and other businesses, recalling Mayor Earling indicated 2-3 years ago that sales tax
from Highway 99 was approximately $1.3 million and sales tax from the rest of Edmonds was $200,000-
$300,000. She asked whether Mr. James had a comparison of sales tax in the two areas. Mr. James said he
did not bring that information tonight. The Mayor’s comparison 2-3 years ago was Highway 99 sales tax
compared to the downtown core, not the rest of Edmonds. Council President Fraley-Monillas requested
he email that information to Council.
Councilmember Mesaros referred to retail automotive and gas and asked whether any projections had
been made with regard to the decrease in the per gallon price and more fuel efficient vehicles. Mr. James
said the legislature is looking at this source of revenue; he did not know what that would mean to the
City.
Councilmember Johnson observed gas tax is per gallon not sale price and should not be impacted by the
price. Councilmember Mesaros observed people are buying less gas due to more fuel efficient vehicles
and electric hybrids. For example, 2 years ago he drove a car that got 18/mpg, he now drives a car that
gets 44 mpg. Mr. James said AWC is lobbying for some change related to that.
12. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling advised there will be a brief executive session at end of agenda. He congratulated Sergeant
Hawley on his promotion.
13. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council President Fraley-Monillas thanked Council and staff for attending the 1½ day retreat. She was
hopeful the notes will be sent out to Council and staff tomorrow.
Councilmember Johnson reported the number 1 priority coming out of the retreat was long range
financing for capital projects.
Councilmember Mesaros thanked Carl Zapora, Verdant, who was in the audience, for allowing the
Council to use their facilities for the retreat and hear about their programs and the asset they are to the
community. He thanked Council President Fraley-Monillas for organizing the retreat.
Councilmember Bloom thanked Val Stewart for encouraging citizens to submit comments to the
Department of Ecology regarding the Shoreline Master Plan. Comments are due March 27, 2015 by 5:00
p.m. to David Pater, Department of Ecology. This is very important because the Port of Edmonds
Commissioners made a decision to spend $25,000 to appeal the 100-foot setback for the marsh in the
City’s Shoreline Master Program; the Port Commission prefers a 25-foot setback.
Councilmember Nelson thanked Council President Fraley-Monillas for organizing the retreat. He found it
a great introduction to learning more about Councilmembers.
14. CONVENE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION REGARDING PENDING OR POTENTIAL LITIGATION
PER RCW 42.30.110(1)(i)

At 9:25 p.m., Mayor Earling announced that the City Council would meet in executive session regarding
pending or potential litigation per RCW 42.30.110(1)(i). He stated that the executive session was

Narrative
On June 2, 2009, the Edmonds City Council passed Ordinance 3735, which amended the Edmonds City
Code, Title 10, adding a new Chapter 10.75 Citizens’ Economic Development Commission (CEDC).
The CEDC consists of 17 members and is empowered to advise and make recommendations to the Mayor
and City Council and, as appropriate to the Planning Board, Architectural Design Board or other Boards
or Commissions of the City on such matters as may be specifically referred to the Commission by the
Mayor or City Council, including, but not limited to: 1) determining new strategies for economic
development within the City of Edmonds, and 2) identifying new sources of revenue for consideration by
the City Council, and other strategies for improving commercial viability and tourism development.
In 2010, the CEDC adopted vision and mission statements as follows:
- Vision Statement: A City that has revenue adequate to provide a high quality of life for residents and
support business.
- Mission Statement: To identify and ensure implementation of paths that increase revenue through
effective economic development reflecting the values of our community.
Section 10.75.030 of the Edmonds City Code requires an annual report from the CEDC in December of
each year. This year the CEDC members agreed to contain an entire year's work in the annual report,
leading to its later presentation.
Attached is the CEDC 2014 Annual Report, as drafted by the 2014 Chair, Bruce Witenburg, and after an
opportunity for CEDC member review and comment was offered by current Chair Michael Schindler
from 2/25/15 through 3/2/15.

CITY OF EDMONDS
CITIZENS’ ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
2014
ANNUAL REPORT
The City of Edmonds Citizens’ Economic Development Commission in response to its
charge to prepare and submit an annual report respectfully submits this report to the
Edmonds City Council and Mayor for review and consideration.
Packet Page 60 of 320
Background
On April 21, 2009, the Edmonds City Council passed Resolution 1198 which directed City of
Edmonds staff to create an Ordinance that would, if approved, create a Citizens’ Economic
Development Commission. On June 2, 2009, the Edmonds City Council passed
Ordinance 3735, which amended the Edmonds City Code, Title 10, adding a new
Chapter 10.75 Citizens’ Economic Development Commission (CEDC). The impetus for the
CEDC came from the 2009 Citizens’ Levy Review Committee.
The CEDC consists of 17 members and is empowered to advise and make recommendations
to the Mayor and City Council and, as appropriate to the Planning Board, Architectural Design
Board or other Boards or Commissions of the City on such matters as may be specifically
referred to the Commission by the Mayor or City Council, including, but not limited to: 1)
determining new strategies for economic development within the City of Edmonds, and
2) identifying new sources of revenue for consideration by the City Council, and other
strategies for improving commercial viability and tourism development.
In 2010, the CEDC adopted vision and mission statements as follows:
“Vision Statement: A City that has revenue adequate to provide a high quality of life for
residents and support business.
Mission Statement: To identify and ensure implementation of paths that increase
revenue through effective economic development reflecting the values of our
community.”
The CEDC’s 17 members are appointed as follows: each Councilmember appoints two
members and the Mayor appoints three. In 2014 there were two City Council liaisons, Strom
Peterson and Kristiana Johnson; a Planning Board Liaison, Phil Lovell; and a Port of Edmonds
Liaison, Bruce Faires. There is also Student Representative position which was vacant. We
are regularly staffed by Community Services/Economic Development (CSED) Director Patrick
Doherty, Development Services Director Shane Hope, CSED Program Coordinator Cindi Cruz,
and Cultural Services Manager Frances Chapin and, as needed, by Planning Manager Rob
Chave. The expertise, insight, support and cooperation of the staff is invaluable to the
Commission. Jeannie Dines is our professional minute taker.
We meet as a body on the third Wednesday of each month from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the
Brackett Room on the 3rd floor of City Hall. Meetings are open to the public. At the conclusion
of each meeting we take audience comments. The CEDC has two elected officers, a Chair
and Vice Chair. In 2014, Bruce Witenberg served as Chair and Kevin Garrett served as Vice
Chair.
Our members have come from diverse professions including accounting, city and county
planners, engineering, finance, journalism, law, landscape architecture, lobbying, media
relations, public relations and public affairs, real estate, science, technology,
telecommunications, and those who own their own businesses inside and outside of Edmonds.
Packet Page 61 of 320
Our members have previously served and/or continue to serve the community in a variety of
volunteer capacities both in Edmonds and in the community at large including the Edmonds
Chamber of Commerce, Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission, South Snohomish
County Historical Society, Edmonds Senior Center, Planning Board, Highway 99 Task Force,
Friends of the Marsh, Backyard Wild Life Habitat, Edmonds Rotary, Metropolitan Parks District
Exploratory Committee, Boy Scouts of America, Edmonds Police Foundation, Citizens’ Levy
Review Committee (2009 & 2011), Swedish Visiting Nurse Services, ACE, CTAC, the Everett
Assistance League, and the Delta Delta Delta Foundation to name just a few. In effect, among
the CEDC volunteers we have 17 dedicated citizens who are ambassadors for economic
development in Edmonds.
Overview
The CEDC has been meeting monthly since it was formed in June of 2009, except for the
period between December 2011 and May 2012 while the Council deliberated whether to
extend the original December 31, 2011 sunset date. During this time EDC lost ten members to
resignation. In May 2012 the Council voted to extend the EDC’s sunset date to December 31,
2015. The process to appoint replacements took until June, 2012. Our first meeting as a
reconstituted body took place in July 2012. We elected a Chair and Vice Chair in August,
2012. Extensive background information including staff presentations had to be provided to
the new members to bring them up to speed. This continues to be a work in progress as the
more recent appointees continue to study the voluminous material and begin to feel more
comfortable expressing their opinions.
In addition to meeting on a monthly basis to discuss issues, the EDC has three currently active
Sub Groups i.e., Strategic Planning, Business Districts Enhancement and Tourism and Visitor
Services. It should be noted that the Business Districts Enhancement Sub Group was formerly
the Land Use Sub Group and the Tourism and Visitor Services Sub Group was formerly the
Tourism Sub Group. The names were changed to more accurately reflect the work being done
by these groups. During each monthly EDC meeting, each subgroup also presents updates
on progress made towards developing recommendations or implementing tasks/goals related
to each Sub Group.
The Citizens Economic Development Commission continues to fulfill its charge to explore ways
to secure and seek new revenue streams and find ways in which to improve a much needed
revenue base, either directly or indirectly.
2014 Initial Overarching Goals
Among the EDC’s overarching goals for 2014 was to enhance the working relationship between
Council and the EDC. To that, end Doug Purcell and Chair Bruce Witenberg were designated
as EDC liaisons to the City Council. The EDC liaisons worked with the Council liaisons to try to
ensure that the lines of communication were more open and interactive. The goals were to
increase the collaboration with Council and increase the receptiveness of the initiatives the
CEDC puts forward to the Council.

In addition, the CEDC appointed liaisons to various boards, commissions and organizations
throughout the City in an effort make the Commission’s role in economic development more
visible and to interact, collaborate and partner on economic initiatives. CEDC liaisons attended
meetings and interacted with the Planning Board, Business Improvement District, the Chamber
of Commerce, the Edmonds Historical Society, Edmonds Senior Center, Port of Edmonds, and
the Edmonds Center for the Arts.

Narrative
The City of Edmonds, Move 60!, Edmonds School District and Swedish Edmonds are planning the 3rd
Annual Health & Fitness Expo for Saturday, May 16, at the Edmonds-Woodway High School Stadium.
This event brings together our community partners to promote health and fitness for families that live
within the school district and PHD #2 boundaries. This year's free event includes health and wellness
booths, no cost health screenings, the mobile mammography coach, the PCC Taste Mobile, nutrition
education, as well as plenty of opportunities to be active in the Move 60! Kids Fun Run, the bike rodeo,
and the Active Zone. Last year's event drew 600.
This is the second year that Public Hospital District #2, Snohomish County (Verdant Health
Commission) has sponsored the event at the $2,000 level. Since the City and PHD2 are both public
agencies, an agreement to provide the Expo is necessary to receive the $2,000.

Presentation of a Professional Services Agreement with KPG for the City-wide Bicycle Improvements
Project
Recommendation
Forward this item to the consent agenda for approval at the April 7, 2015, Council meeting.
Previous Council Action
None.
Narrative
A Verdant grant in the amount of $1.9 M was secured to complete bicycle improvements, such as bike
lanes and sharrows in Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, and Edmonds. The proposed projects will complete
ten critical missing links of the bicycle’s network (see Exhibit B for Bike Links Map). In addition, bike
signage and parking will be added at key location and bicycle education and outreach will be provided as
part of this program.
Verdant will fund 100% of the Edmonds’ improvements, estimated at $736,381 (see Exhibit A for Cost
Details). Lynnwood and Edmonds will work together when designing the section along 76th Ave.W from
208 th St. SW to Olympic View Dr. (property line is along the centerline of 76th Ave. W along most of
the roadway). On January 21, 2015, a Selection Committee met and interviewed four design consultant
teams. Following the interviews, the project team from KPG was chosen by the Committee to complete
the design phase of the City-wide Bicycle Improvements project.
This project is identified in the City's 2015-2020 Capital Improvement Program, with expenditures in
2015 and 2016. The design phase is scheduled to be completed by Spring 2016. The construction phase
would start shortly thereafter and should be completed by the end of 2016. The fee for the professional
services agreement (following negotiations between Staff and the Consultant) is $156,436, including a
$14,222 management reserve for any unexpected tasks that may come up during the phase.

Information
Subject Title
Presentation of final contract costs of the Annual Sewer Replacement Project - Phase 1
Recommendation
Forward item to the consent agenda for approval at the April 7, 2015, Council meeting.
Previous Council Action
On April 15,2014, Council voted to award a contract to Shoreline Construction in the amount of
$1,224,607.49 for the Annual Sewer Replacement Project – Phase 1.
Narrative
On May 12, 2014, Shoreline Construction was given Notice to Proceed with construction, stipulating 80
working days for completion. This project is part of the City’s program to replace and upgrade existing
sewerlines at various locations around the City that are reaching the end of their useful service life, are
undersized and unable to meet current requirements, or have some other existing deficiency. This project
replaced, at various locations around the City, approximately 1,800 lineal feet of sewerline piping with
associated manholes and sewer connections, as well as approximately 960 lineal feet of waterline that
was either disturbed or interfering with the sewer replacement.
During the course of construction, two added-cost change orders were approved, totaling $64,240.63 to
deal with unanticipated field conditions encountered during the course of construction.
The work was completed ahead of schedule and under budget, coming in at $37,745.34 under the original
contract amount of $1,224,607.49. The final cost paid to Shoreline Construction was $1,186,862.15.

Review of Draft Westgate Zoning Ordinance
Recommendation
Review draft ordinance and related information; ask questions or discuss
Previous Council Action
Since 2010, City Council has had 15 public meetings, including 2 public hearings on planning and zoning
for the Westgate area. The last such meeting was November 3, 2014, at which time potential action on
Westgate zoning was tabled, pending completion of the SR-104 analysis for the Westgate area.
Narrative
BACKGROUND
Planning for the Westgate area and developing draft zoning code changes for it have been underway for
approximately 5 years. This work has included not only 15 City Council meetings, of which 2 were
public hearings, but also 11 Planning Board meetings, including 3 that were public hearings. Other
public meetings were held by the Citizens Economic Development Commission and individual Council
members.
The City Council's November 3, 2014 meeting included "potential action" on the Westgate zoning
proposal. (See Attachment 1 for a clean version of the draft zoning ordinance that was considered at the
meeting.) The Council's November 3 actions included the following main motion: Accept the Planning
Board's recommendations with the exception of a 16-foot setback instead of a 20-foot setback. Other
motions were:
-- Amendment # 1: Keep the 16-foot setback for buildings at the corner of SR 104 and 100th but reduce
setbacks on the rest to 12 feet. The amendment was voted on and failed.
-- Amendment # 2: Add a provision that required setback areas may not be used to satisfy more than 50%
of the amenity or open space requirements. The amendment was voted on and failed.
-- Amendment # 3: Amend the commercial parking to require 1 space per 350 square feet of commercial
space, not 1 space per 500 square feet. The amendment was voted on and failed.
-- Amendment # 4: Amend the commercial parking requirement to 1 space per 400 square feet rather than
1 space per 500 square feet. Amendment was voted on and carried.
-- Amendment # 5: Require that the first 45 feet of building depth facing the street, sidewalk, amenity
space, or other public area may not be used for parking. Amendment was voted on and failed.
-- Amendment # 6: Amend the motion to retain the current 20-foot setback. Amendment was voted on
and carried. The discussion largely focused on whether the SR 104 corridor study for this area should be
Packet Page 175 of 320
done before the setback decision was made. It was noted that the study would be done within the first
quarter of 2015.
--Motion to table: By motion and vote, the discussion for taking action on the zoning ordinance was
tabled until completion of the corridor study.
Note: The minutes for the November 3, 2014 meeting are attached.
MARCH 11--REPORT ON SR 104 ANALYSIS
On March 11, 2015, a report was presented to the City Council on the SR 104 Complete Streets Corridor
Analysis "Study") findings, which were completed to address key Westgate zoning issues. (See attached
meeting minutes.) The key issues were identified as follows:
1. What are the long-term street lane and width requirements on SR 104 and 100th Avenue W through
Westgate?
2. How should bicycles and pedestrians be accommodated?
3. What should the proposed Westgate code say about building setback requirements?
4. What other amendments to the Westgate code could be adopted to highlight Westgate as a walkable,
sustainable, mixed use district?
5. How should property access and internal circulation be addressed?
6. What is the appropriate parking standard for commercial uses in the Westgate district?
The report included two memos (see attachments 4 and 5), which addressed the above issues, along with
other relevant information. In addition, a slideshow was presented at the meeting to summarize and
further explain various aspects of the analysis. Two slides were especially useful in responding to the
questions about sidewalks and building setbacks. They showed a cross-section, covering most of the SR
104 corridor in the Westgate area, for 5-foot buffer/amenity area next to the curb and an 8-foot paved
sidewalk behind it. (Note: The last 3 feet of the sidewalk width would typically be on private property
under an easement. At the same time, a12-foot building setback from the property line would apply--so
that the total minimum distance between curb and building front would be 22 feet. The last 9 feet of this
(next to the building) would be available for landscaping and other amenities. (See attachment 6 for an
illustration.) At the SR 104 and 100th intersection (i.e., within 40 feet of each corner), the building
setback is recommended to be 15 feet, creating a minimum distance of 25 feet between the curb and
building front. The last 12 feet, next to the building, would be available for special emphasis
landscaping, pedestrian features, and art. (See attachment 7 for an illustration.) While the
recommendation for the 12-foot building setback is consistent with the draft Westgate zoning code
proposal, the recommendation for a 15-foot building setback at the intersection is somewhat different.
This difference could be addressed by an amendment to the zoning code proposal.
As a follow-up to the meeting, staff prepared a Q and A sheet to clarify questions raised by Council
members. (See attachment 8.)
MARCH 24 MEETING
On the City Council's March 24 study session agenda is "Review of the Draft Westgate Zoning
Ordinance". The draft ordinance for this review is the same as was originally presented at the November
3 City Council meeting. (See attachment 1.) The presentation on March 24 will identify what can be
changed in the draft ordinance to reflect the recommendations from the SR 104 study. No final decisions
will be made at the March 17 meeting. When the draft ordinance comes back for later action, it can be
amended to reflect any changes supported by the majority of Council members.
NEXT STEPS
--March 24 study session by City Council to review the draft Westgate ordinance

on any property adjacent to 100th Street SW or SR 104, sidewalks and adjacent planting
buffers along the property’s entire street frontage are required to be in conformance with this 26
section. Required improvements shall be at the expense of the property owner or his/her
agent. 28
1. The total planting buffer and sidewalk width, as measured from back of street curb,
shall be a minimum of twelve (12) feet. This shall be comprised of a planting buffer five (5) 30
feet wide immediately behind the street curb and a sidewalk at least seven (7) feet wide
adjacent to the planting buffer, except as otherwise provided in subsections A.2 or A.3 of this 32
section. The sidewalk may be fully within the public right of way or partly on private
property. For sidewalks located on private property, an easement or dedication of right-of-34
way shall be given to the City.
2. Within the general area of the intersection of 100th Street SW and SR 104, the 36
sidewalk and any planting buffer shall be a minimum of twelve (12) feet wide, measured from
back of curb. The sidewalk may also be required by the city engineer to be greater than twelve 38
(12) feet to accommodate any needed additional width for bulb-outs or other features
improving safety or accessibility for pedestrians at the intersection. Where the required 40
sidewalk width within the general intersection area is greater than seven (7) feet, the city
engineer may allow the planting buffer to be reduced or excluded. 42
3. The width of any required planting buffer shall be continued along the property’s
entire street frontage, except that no planting is required across an approved driveway access 44
Packet Page 186 of 320
or where the city engineer determines that planting would reduce sidewalk continuity or
otherwise conflict with pedestrian mobility, including at but not limited to areas adjacent to 2
bus stop pull-out lanes. The planting buffer shall be the location for vegetation and street
trees. It may also be the location of street lights, utility equipment, signage, low impact 4
stormwater facilities, and other structures or uses typical along streets, as approved by the
city. 6

22.110.000 Purpose and Intent.
The core concept for the Westgate Mixed Use District is to create a vibrant mixed-use 14
activity center that enhances the economic development of the city and provides housing as
well as retail and office uses to meet the needs of all age groups. This Chapter seeks to retain 16
key features of the area, including protecting the large trees and green surrounding hillsides,
while increasing walkability and gathering spaces, such as plazas and open spaces. Important 18
aspects of this Chapter include:
• Protecting steep slopes is a key concept; 20
• Designing a landscape emphasis for the primary intersection;
• Creating a lively pedestrian environment with wide sidewalks and requirements for 22
buildings to be placed close to the sidewalk;
• Landscaping the plazas, open spaces, and parking areas with required landscaped open 24
space;
• Promoting a sustainable low-impact development with a requirement for bioswales, rain 26
gardens, green roofs and other features to retain and infiltrate storm water;
• Providing workforce housing and increasing residential uses including small-sized 28
dwelling units;
• Providing options for non-motorized transportation linking new bike lanes into the city’s 30
larger system of bike lanes and extending sidewalks and pedestrian paths into the surrounding
residential areas. 32
22.110.010 Building Types. 34
A. Properties in the Westgate District have varying height limits depending on location and
topography as identified in ECDC 22.110.010.B and ECDC 22.110.090. Seven Building 36
Types are allowed in the Westgate District, as listed below:
1. Rowhouse – A series of two or more attached townhome apartments or condominiums 38
with entrances facing the street or public way.
Exhibit 2
Packet Page 188 of 320
2. Courtyard - A cluster of apartment or condominium flats arranged to share one or more
common courtyards. 2
3. Stacked Dwelling – A primarily residential building with the building massing
predicated on horizontal repetition and vertical stacking of residential units and which 4
may include ancillary commercial uses (such as exercise or health facilities or
convenience shopping or services) on the ground level. 6
4. Live-Work - An integrated residential and working space designed to accommodate
joint residential and work activity uses. 8
5. Loft Mixed-Use - A building that has vertical stacking of units organized on lobby,
corridor, and elevator access, with greater height per floor on one or more floors to 10
accommodate additional loft area within a unit.
6. Side Court Mixed-Use – A building with retail or service uses located on the ground 12
floor and office or residential uses above and including a side courtyard adjacent to the
public realm. 14
7. Commercial Mixed-Use – A mixed-use building with retail and/or service uses on at
least the ground floor, with additional commercial or residential uses above. 16
B. Building Height. Building heights are described in terms of stories. Regardless of the 18
number of stories specified, overall building heights in the Westgate Mixed Use zone cannot
exceed 25 feet for a two-story building, 35 feet for a three-story building, or 45 feet for 20
buildings with four stories. Buildings may only include a fourth story if the building meets the
criteria contained in section ECDC 22.110.090. Notwithstanding other methods of calculating 22
height elsewhere in the city, building height in the Westgate Mixed Use zone is established by
the finished grade at the street front, so that buildings may not use adjoining slopes to increase 24
the average height of the building above the street front level. Figure 22.110.010.B illustrates
building height limits and step back requirements for buildings in the Westgate Mixed Use 26
zone.
The only exception to these height limits is when a building contains an undivided retail 28
space that is at least 15,000 square feet is size. When such a space is included on the ground
floor of a building (such as for a grocery or drug store), then the overall building height may 30
be increased by 1 foot for each foot that the first floor height exceeds 10 feet, up to a total of
no more than 5 feet, to accommodate the additional ceiling height needed to accommodate the 32
large retail use. A building that has taken advantage of this additional height may not have its
retail space subdivided below the 15,000 square foot minimum at any time during the 34
building’s lifetime.

C. Building Locations. Setbacks established in section ECDC 16.110.020 describe the 4
minimum distances buildings must be placed from the SR-104 and 100th Avenue W rights-of-
way. In general, buildings shall be located at or within 10 feet of the setback line so that the 6
buildings can relate to each other, not stand in isolation, and help to define the adjoining open
space and amenity spaces that will surround them. Exceptions may be granted as part of the 8
design review process when it can be demonstrated that the proposed development will
achieve these connectivity and space-shaping goals more effectively by allowing such an 10
exception in light of the established building and circulation pattern, provided that vehicle
parking shall not be located so as to separate the building from the public street. 12
D. Building Type Descriptions. The following describe the different building types and
include diagrams indicating where each building type is allowed. Note that where descriptions 14
and standards refer to “street” this is intended to refer to either an external street or an internal
street or drive which provides secondary vehicular and pedestrian access within the overall 16
development(s).
Each building type is allowed only within specified locations within the Westgate Mixed 18
Use zone, as shown in Figure 22.110.010.D. Allowed uses per floor are specified in Table
22.110.010.D. Most properties have an option for more than one building type. Multiple 20
buildings are allowed per site, so long as each building conforms with the building type
locations specified in Figure 22.110.010.D. 22

access. These buildings are located on a qualifying lot in the Westgate District, as shown in
Figure 22.110.010.D. 12
Access
• The primary entrance to each building shall be accessed through a street level lobby or 14
elevated lobby accessible from the street or sidewalk.
• Interior circulation to each unit shall be through a double or single loaded corridor. 16
• The entry to each ground floor commercial space shall be directly from and face the street
or sidewalk. 18
Packet Page 205 of 320
Amenity space.
Publicly accessible amenity space shall be provided as described in section ECDC 2
22.110.070. Shared amenity space may include the lid of a below grade parking garage or
garage deck as long as the amenity space is within six feet of finished grade. In a project with 4
multiple amenity space areas at least two of the courts shall conform to the patterns below:
• Optimal amenity space area dimensions are a minimum 40 feet wide when the long axis 6
of the court is oriented East/West and a minimum of 30 feet wide when the court is oriented
North/South. No arcade may encroach into the required minimum width of a courtyard. 8
• In 40-foot wide courts, the frontages and architectural projections allowed within the
applicable zone are permitted on two sides of the court; they are permitted on one side of a 10
30-foot wide court.
Open Space 12
• The minimum open space area shall be 15% of the lot area. Additional amenity space
provided in excess of the 15% minimum amenity space requirement may also count as open 14
space.
• Open space may be public or private. Open space shall not include balconies or areas 16
covered by or located under buildings, such as arcades. A roof deck or green roof may only be
counted as open space if it is accessible. 18
• Protected slope areas may also count as open space.
• Side yards or courts are allowed for common use gardens. Landscape 20
Private landscaping is required. Trees may be placed in front yards and in side yards to
create a sense of place. 22
Open space areas located over below-grade garages shall be designed to avoid the sense of
planters and hardscape landscaping. In general, medium-to-large trees shall be dispersed 24
through the development (either new or existing trees) and landscaping provided for shade
and privacy. 26
Building Design and Massing
Buildings shall be composed of office, retail, flats, or lofts alone or above commercial 28
space on the ground level. Units may be repetitive or unique in design.
• The main volume may be flanked by one or more secondary volumes. 30
• Large floor plate retail such as grocery stores, drug stores, nurseries, and exercise gyms
are encouraged and are allowed on the first or second floors of a mixed-use building. 32
Commercial Mixed Use buildings shall comply with the (1) Massing and Articulation, (2)
Orientation to Street, (3) Ground Level Details, (4) Pedestrian Façade, and (5) Treating Blank 34
Walls design treatments specified in section ECDC 22.110.015.

22.110.015 Design Treatments
A. Purpose 2
This Section describes building design features that are referenced as being required in the
building types described in section ECDC 22.110.010. 4
1. Massing and Articulation 6
Intent: To reduce the massiveness and bulk of
large box-like buildings, and articulate the 8
building form to a pedestrian scale.
Buildings shall convey a visually distinct base 10
and top. A “base” can be emphasized by a
different masonry pattern, more architectural 12
detail, visible plinth above which the wall rises,
storefront, canopies, or a combination. The top 14
edge is highlighted by a prominent cornice,
projecting parapet or other architectural element 16
that creates a shadow line.
Where a single building façade exceeds 60 feet 18
in length, use a change in design features (such as a combination of materials, windows or
decorative details) to articulate the building so that it appears to consist of multiple smaller-20
scale building segments.
22
2. Orientation to Street
Intent: To reinforce pedestrian activity and 24
orientation and enhance the liveliness of the street
through building design. 26
Building frontages shall be primarily oriented to
the adjacent street, rather than to a parking lot or 28
alley. Ground floor commercial space shall be
accessible and within an elevation of 7” from the 30
adjoining sidewalk. Entrances to buildings shall be
visible from the street and shall be given a visually 32
distinct architectural expression by one or more of
the following elements: 34
a. Higher bay(s);
b. Recessed entry (recessed at least three feet); 36
c. Forecourt and entrance plaza.
38
Packet Page 207 of 320
3. Ground Level Details
Intent: To reinforce the character of the streetscape 2
by encouraging the greatest amount of visual interest
along the ground level of buildings facing pedestrian 4
streets. Ground-floor, street-facing facades of
commercial and mixed-use buildings shall incorporate 6
at least five of the following elements:
a. Lighting or hanging baskets supported by 8
ornamental brackets;
b. Medallions; 10
c. Belt courses;
d. Plinths for columns; 12
e. Bulkhead for storefront window;
f. Projecting sills; 14
g. Tile work;
h. Transom or clerestory windows; 16
i. Planter box;
j. An element not listed here but that is of a similar 18
character and meets the intent.
20
4. Pedestrian Façade
Intent: To provide visual connection between activities inside and outside the building. The 22
ground level facades of buildings that face a street front shall have transparent windows
covering a minimum of 40 percent of the ground floor façade that lies between an average of 24
two feet and 10 feet above grade. To qualify as transparent, windows shall not be mirrored or
consist of darkly tinted glass, or prohibit visibility between the street and interior. 26
5. Treating Blank Walls 28
Intent. To ensure that buildings do not display blank, unattractive walls. Walls or portions
of walls on abutting streets or visible from residential areas where windows are not provided 30
shall have architectural treatment. At least five of the following elements shall be
incorporated into any ground floor, street-facing facade: 32
a. Masonry (except for flat, nondecorative concrete block);
b. Concrete or masonry plinth at the base of the wall; 34
c. Belt courses of a different texture and color;
d. Projecting cornice; 36
e. Decorative tile work;
f. Medallions; 38
g. Opaque or translucent glass;
h. Artwork or wall graphics; 40
i. Lighting fixtures;
j. Green walls; 42
k. An architectural element not listed above, as approved, that meets the intent.

22.110.020 Frontage Types. 2
A. Purpose
This Section defines how the buildings within the Westgate Mixed Use zone relate to the 4
public realm of the sidewalk and other common use areas. The purpose of defining Frontage
Types is to encourage the development of a variety of frontage types and to encourage each 6
building to relate to the public realm in ways that are attractive, inviting, and accessible to all.
B. Principles and Standards 8
The frontage types for each proposed development shall be designed in concert with the
Building Types and standards presented in sections 22.110.010. 10
Primary frontage. “Primary frontage” is frontage that faces main public spaces or
circulation areas of higher pedestrian importance. Entrances are required. Examples are street 12
fronts or interior access drives that link developments.
Secondary frontage. “Secondary frontage” is frontage that faces areas of lesser pedestrian 14
importance. Entrances to buildings are not required. Examples include SR-104 when an
alternative interior drive or pedestrian walkway is able to provide linkage to other 16
developments and pedestrian connections within the overall developed area or Westgate
quadrant. 18
This section identifies five Frontage Types for primary and secondary frontages, as shown
in the figure on the next page. Each of the five frontage types are described and depicted in a 20
section view. For each Frontage Type, the description concludes by identifying those Building
Types for which that Frontage Type is permitted. For secondary frontages (permitted along 22
portions of SR 104, for example), no building entrance is required and the frontage types do
not apply. Frontages for retail uses are required to provide windows facing the public street, 24
circulation drive, or sidewalk, glazed with clear glass and occupying no less than 60% of the
ground-level frontage. 26
Packet Page 209 of 320
In general, entries to ground floor commercial space shall be directly from and face the
related primary frontage. Additional entries may be provided, for example from parking or 2
secondary frontages.
Blank walls are not permitted. 4
6
8
10
a. Terrace or Elevated Entry: The main façade is set back from the frontage line by an 12
elevated terrace or entry. This type buffers residential use from sidewalks. The
elevated terrace is also suitable for outdoor cafes. Terrace or Elevated Entry frontage 14
is allowed on all building types.
16
b. Forecourt: The main façade is at the building line with with a portion set back for a 18
small court space. The court could be used to provide shopping or restaurant seating
in commercial buildings, or as an entry court for residential uses. This type should be 20
used sparingly. Forecourt frontage may be used on Courtyard, Stacked Dwellings, and
Live-Work building types. 22
c. Stoop: The main façade is near the frontage line with the first story elevated to 24
provide privacy. The stoop is appropriate for ground floor residential uses. Stoop
frontage may be used on Rowhouse, Courtyard, Live-Work and Stacked Dwellings 26
building types.
28
d. Shopfront: The main façade is aligned close to the frontage line with the building 30
entrance at sidewalk grade. The covering shall extend far enough to provide
pedestrians protection from the weather. This type is appropriate for retail or office 32
uses. Shopfront frontage may be used on Stacked Dwellings, Live-Work, Loft Mixed-
Use, Side Court Mixed-Use, or Commercial Mixed-Use building types. 34
e. Gallery (or arcade): The main façade is set back from the frontage line with an 36
attached cantilevered colonnade overlapping the sidewalk. The entry should be at
sidewalk grade. The gallery/arcade should be no less than 8’ wide. This type is 38
appropriate for retail or office uses. Gallery/arcade frontage may be used on Stacked
Dwellings, Live-Work, Loft Mixed-Use, Side Court Mixed-Use, or Commercial Mixed-40
Use building types.
42
22.110.025 Frontage Improvements.
When a new building or building addition of at least 500 square feet is being developed on 44
any property adjacent to 100th Street SW or SR 104, sidewalks and adjacent planting buffers
along the property’s entire street frontage are required to be in conformance with this section. 46
Required improvements shall be at the expense of the property owner or his/her agent.
A. The total planting buffer and sidewalk width, as measured from back of street curb, 48
shall be a minimum of twelve (12) feet. This shall be comprised of a planting buffer five (5)
feet wide immediately behind the street curb and a sidewalk at least seven (7) feet wide 50
adjacent to the planting buffer, except as otherwise provided in subsection B or C of this
Packet Page 210 of 320
section. The sidewalk may be fully within the public right of way or partly on private
property. For sidewalks located on private property, an easement or dedication of right-of-2
way shall be given to the City.
B. Within the general area of the intersection of 100th Street SW and SR 104, the 4
sidewalk and any planting buffer shall be a minimum of twelve (12) feet wide, measured from
back of curb. The sidewalk may also be required by the City Engineer to be greater than 6
seven (7) feet to accommodate any needed additional width for bulb-outs or other features
improving safety or accessibility for pedestrians at the intersection. Where the required 8
sidewalk width within the general intersection area is greater than seven (7) feet, the City
Engineer may allow the planting buffer to be reduced or excluded to accommodate pedestrian 10
movements at the intersection.
C. The width of any required planting buffer shall be continued along the property’s 12
entire street frontage, except that no planting is required across an approved driveway access
and, where approved by the city engineer to accommodate a bus pull-out lane, planting may 14
be reduced or eliminated if such planting would require the seven (7)-foot sidewalk to extend
further outside of the right of way than otherwise would be the case. 16
D. The planting buffer shall be the location for vegetation and street trees. It may also be
the location of street lights, utility equipment, signage, low impact stormwater facilities , and 18
other structures or uses typical along streets, as approved by the city.
22.110.030 Green Building Construction and Housing. 20
A. Purpose
The purpose of this Section is to encourage the development of a variety of housing choices 22
available to residents of all economic segments and to encourage sustainable development
through the use of development standards, requirements and incentives. 24
B. Green Building and Site Design Criteria
All development in the Westgate District shall meet Built Green 1-to-3 star or LEED 26
Certified rating or equivalent as a requirement and shall meet a minimum Green Factor Score
of 0.3. 28
C. Sustainable site design.
All development shall meet Built Green 1-to-3 star or LEED Certified standards, or an 30
equivalent. Green Factor Score requirements shall be used in the design of sustainable site
features and low-impact stormwater treatment systems. A Green Factor Score of 0.3 is 32
required of all developments (see ECDC 22.110.070).
Pervious surfaces shall be integrated into site design and may include: pervious pavement, 34
pervious pavers and vegetated roofs. Capture and reuse strategies including the use of
rainwater harvesting cisterns may be substituted for the effective area of pervious surface 36
required.
Runoff generated on–site shall be routed through a treatment system such as a structured 38
stormwater planter, bioswale, rain garden, pervious pavement, or cisterns. Runoff leaving the
site shall conform to City of Edmonds Stormwater Management Code chapter 18.30 ECDC. 40
D. Housing. 42
To promote a balance in age demographics and encourage age diversity, the City of
Edmonds is actively encouraging a greater number of dwelling units targeting young 44
professionals and young workers through workforce housing provisions. The Westgate Mixed
Packet Page 211 of 320
Use District requires that at least 10% of residential units shall be very small units designed
for affordable workforce housing (under 900 square feet) and that not more than 10% of all 2
dwelling units may exceed 1,600 square feet in size.
4
22.110.050 Circulation and parking.
A. Alternative transportation. 6
The goals of the Westgate Mixed Use District include improving connectedness for
pedestrian and bicycle users. Developers of private property within Westgate shall support the 8
pedestrian and bicycle use of the District by providing:
• Internal circulation systems for both bicyclists and pedestrians within the property, 10
• Connections to off-site systems in the public right-of-way and on adjacent properties,
• Bicycle racks and other supportive facilities, and 12
• Connections to bus stops and transit routes.
B. Internal circulation drives. 14
The concept for an Internal Circulation drive is that of a shared street. This concept is
intended to provide access to new residential developments, new and existing businesses, and 16
provide pedestrian connectivity and to reduce the impact of local traffic movement on
surrounding arterial streets. 18
Thoroughfare Type: shared street
Movement: yield 20
Design Speed: 10 mph
Traffic Lanes: 10 feet 22
Parking: none
Curb to Curb Distance: no curbs 24
Sidewalks: 6 feet
26
Sample street section for internal circulation drive. 28
Packet Page 212 of 320
C. Parking
The Westgate District parking standards are intended to reinforce that the area is 2
pedestrian-oriented and intended to be equally accessible by people on foot, in wheelchairs,
on bicycles, or travelling by motorized vehicles. These standards strive to: 4
(a) maximize a compatible mix of parking and pedestrian circulation; and
(b) encourage the development of shared parking; and 6
(c) promote density and diversity of the built environment.
Design standards for parking lots include the following: 8
(a) No lot shall be used principally as a parking lot unless it provides centralized parking
for the larger developed area framed by external streets (e.g. a parking garage). 10
(b) The edge of any surface parking lot shall be planted with shrubs or street trees, planted
at an average distance not to exceed thirty (30) feet on center and aligned three (3) to seven 12
(7) feet behind the common lot line. This requirement may be reduced for parking lot edges
abutting parking on adjacent lots, when parking lots are linked by vehicular and pedestrian 14
connections (see item (f) below).
(c) Plantings designed to provide a minimum tree canopy coverage of at least 40% in 10 16
years and no less than 60% in 20 years.
(d) Parking lot pathways are to be provided at least every four rows of parking and a 18
maximum distance of 180 feet shall be maintained between paths. Pathways shall connect
with major building entries or other sidewalks, pathways, and destinations, and must be 20
universally accessible and meet ADA standards.
(e) Landscaping in parking lots shall integrate with on-site pathways, include permeable 22
pavements or bioswales where feasible, and minimize use of impervious pavement.
(f) Where a parking lot is abutting another parking lot on an adjacent lot, vehicular and 24
pedestrian connections between lots are required, to facilitate circulation within Westgate and
to reduce the need for vehicles to return to the street when traveling between sites. 26
22.110.070 Amenity Space, Open Space, and Green Factor Standards.
A. Purpose and intent. 28
This section identifies the types of amenity space and open space allowed to satisfy the
requirements of the Westgate Mixed Use zone, and provides design standards for each type to 30
ensure that proposed development is consistent with the City of Edmonds’ goals for character
and quality of the buildings and spaces to be constructed on private property within the 32
Westgate area. This section also describes the Green Factor requirements that apply to each
development within Westgate. 34
The intent of the proposed system is not only to establish amenity spaces that serve the
community and local needs, but also to provide for the protection and enhancement of natural 36
resources for the benefit of the greater community. Core principles of the Westgate Mixed
Use Zone are to promote: 38
• an environment that encourages and facilitates bicycling and pedestrian activity —
“walkable” streets that are comfortable, efficient, safe, and interesting; and 40
• coherence of the public-right-of-way, serving to assist residents, building owners and
managers with understanding the relationship between the public right-of-way and their own 42
properties; and
Packet Page 213 of 320
• sustainability by providing for trees and plants which contribute to privacy, the reduction
of noise and air pollution, shade, maintenance of the natural habitat, conservation of water and 2
rainwater management.

B. Green Factor Requirements
1. Overview 6
The Green Factor sets a minimum score that is required to be achieved by each
development through implementation of landscaping practices. The program provides a menu 8
of landscaping practices that are intended to increase the functional quantity of landscape in a
site, to improve livability and ecological quality while allowing flexibility in the site design 10
and implementation. In this approach, each qualified landscape feature utilized in a project
earns credits that are weighted and calculated through use of the Green Factor Scoresheet. The 12
score is based upon the relationship between the site size and the points earned by
implementation of the specified landscape features. 14
For example, credits may be earned for quantity and size of trees and shrubs, bioretention
facilities, and depth of soil. Built features such as green roofs, vegetated walls and permeable 16
paving may also earn credits. Bonus points may be earned with supplementary elements such
as drought tolerant and native plants, rainwater irrigation, public visibility and food 18
cultivation. Scoring priorities come from livability considerations, an overall decrease in
impervious surfaces and climate change adaptation. The functional benefits target a reduction 20
in stormwater runoff, a decrease in building energy, a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions,
and an increase in habitat space. 22
The minimum score required for all new development in the Westgate District is 0.3,
earned through implementation of features specified below that comply with Green-Factor 24
standards. The implementation of the Green Factor does not have any effect upon other site
requirements such as Setbacks, Open Space Standards, Street and Parking Standards, and City 26
of Edmonds Municipal Stormwater Code and City of Edmonds Code for Landscaping
Requirements that also apply. Green Factor credit may be earned for these site requirements 28
only if they comply with Green Factor standards.
2. Application and Implementation 30
The Green Factor for the Westgate District uses for reference Seattle Green Factor tools.
These include: 32
· the Green Factor Worksheet
· the Green Factor Score Sheet 34
· the Green Factor Plant List
· the Green Factor Tree List. 36
The Green Factor tools are adopted in ECDC 22.110.100.
In complying with the Green Factor Code, the following steps apply: 38
Step 1. Designers and permit applicants select features to include in planning their site and
building and apply them to the site design. Applicants track the actual quantity—e.g. square 40
footage of landscaped areas, pervious paved amenity space, number of trees—using the Green
Factor Worksheet. 42
Step 2. Calculations from the Worksheet are entered on the Scoresheet. The professional
also enters the site’s square footage on the electronic Scoresheet. The instrument then scores 44
each category of proposed landscape improvements, and provides a total score in relation to
the overall site size. The designer can immediately know if the site design is achieving the 46
Packet Page 214 of 320
required score of 0.30, and can adjust the design accordingly. Note that improvements to the
public right-of-way (such as public sidewalks, street tree plantings) are allowed to earn points, 2
even though only the private site square footage is included in the site size calculation.
Step 3. The landscape professional submits the Scoresheet with the project plans, certifying 4
that the plan meets or exceeds the minimum Green Factor Score and other requirements for
the property. The submission also requires indication that a Landscape Management Plan has 6
been submitted to the client.
Step 4. City of Edmonds staff verify that the code requirements have been met before 8
issuance of a permit.
Using Green Factor with Other Requirements 10
While a specific green feature may count for both Green Factor calculations and other
requirements such as Amenity Space or Open Space, the requirements for each need to be met 12
independently. The percentage of Amenity Space for Westgate is 15% of lot size, to be
addressed within each development project . The Open Space section 22.110.070(D) also 14
addresses green feature requirements, such as retention of vegetation on steep slopes,
specifications for tree size, and stormwater management (refer to ECDC18.30); these are 16
examples of features that are likely to overlap with and contribute to the Green Factor score
while also contributing to the Open Space requirement. 18
3. Green Factor Categories:
The Green Factor tools may take into account the following Landscape Elements: 20
• Landscaped Areas (based on soil depth)
• Bio-retention Facilities 22
• Plantings (mulch and ground cover)
• Shrubs and Perennials 24
• Tree Canopy (based on tree sizes)
• Green Roofs 26
• Vegetated Walls
• Approved Water Features 28
• Permeable Paving
• Structural Soil Systems 30
• Bonuses for Drought Tolerant Plants, Harvested Rain Water, Food Cultivation, etc.
32
C. Amenity Space
Amenity space is designed to provide residents and visitors of all ages with a variety of 34
outdoor activity space. Although the character of these amenity spaces will differ, they form
the places that encourage residents and visitors to spend time in the company of others or to 36
enjoy time in an outdoor setting.
All new development shall provide amenity space equal to at least 15% of the lot size. 38
Additional amenity space above the 15% base requirement is encouraged and can be part of
the development’s Green Factor plan outlined in chapter 22.110.070(B) ECDC or can 40
contribute to bonus heights as defined in chapter 22.110.090 ECDC. All qualifying amenity
space shall be open and accessible to the public during business hours. Qualifying amenity 42
space shall be open to the air and located within six feet of the finished grade in order to
provide some opportunity for variety and interest in public space while assuring easy 44
accessibility for the public.
Packet Page 215 of 320
Required and bonus amenity space must be provided in one or more of the following forms
and no others: 2
(a) Lawns: An open space, available for unstructured recreation. A lawn may be spatially
defined by landscaping rather than building frontages. Its landscape shall consist of lawn and 4
trees and shall provide a minimum of 60% planted pervious surface area (such as a turf,
groundcover, soil or mulch.) 6
(b) Plazas: An open space, available for civic purposes and commercial activities. A plaza
shall be spatially defined primarily by building facades, with strong connections to interior 8
uses. Its landscape shall consist primarily of pavement. Trees are encouraged. Plazas shall be
located between buildings and at the intersection of important streets. Plazas shall provide a 10
minimum of 20% planted pervious surface area (such as a rain garden, bioswale, turf,
groundcover, soil or mulch). The remaining balance may be any paved surface with a 12
maximum 30% impervious paved surface.
(c) Squares: An open space available for unstructured recreation or civic purposes. A square is 14
spatially defined by building facades with strong connections to interior uses. Its landscape
shall consist of paths, lawns and trees with a minimum of 20% planted pervious surface area 16
(such as a rain garden, bioswale, turf, groundcover, soil or mulch). The remaining balance
may be any paved surface with a maximum 30% impervious paved surface. 18
Sidewalks: Although not counting toward required amenity space, the purpose of sidewalks is
to provide safe, convenient, and pleasant pedestrian circulation along all streets, access to 20
shopfronts and businesses, and to improve the character and identity of commercial and
residential areas consistent with the City of Edmonds vision. New development meeting the 22
standards of this Chapter may be allowed to use a portion of the sidewalk area within the
public right-of-way for outdoor seating, temporary displays, or other uses consistent with City 24
code standards.
26
D. Open Space
All new development shall provide a minimum of 15% of lot size as open space. Qualifying 28
open space shall be unobstructed and open to the air. The goal for the overall open space in
the Westgate Mixed Use zone is to create a unified, harmonious, and aesthetically pleasing 30
environment that also integrates sustainable concepts and solutions that restore natural
functions and processes. In addition to amenity space, the Westgate Mixed Use zone shall 32
incorporate open space, as described in the regulations for each building type. Features
contributing to the landscape character of Westgate also include: 34
(a) Trees: The location and selection of all new tree planting will express the underlying 36
interconnectivity of the Westgate District and surrounding neighborhoods. Species selection
will be in character with the local and regional environment, and comprised of an appropriate 38
mix of evergreen and deciduous trees. Trees will be used to define the landscape character of
open space and amenity space areas, identify entry points, and reinforce the legibility of the 40
District by defining major and minor thoroughfares for pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles.
• All new development shall preserve existing trees wherever feasible. 42
• All new development shall plant new trees in accordance with this chapter.
Trees not included in amenity space or open space areas are not counted toward meeting 44
overall amenity space or open space requirements. For example, individual trees planted
Packet Page 216 of 320
along walkways or driveways may count toward meeting the Green Factor requirements but
are not counted as open space. 2
(b) Steep Slopes: New development shall protect steep slopes by retaining all existing trees 4
and vegetation on protected slopes, as shown on the map included in this section (Figure
22.110.070.D). No development activity, including activities such as clearing, grading, or 6
construction of structures or retaining walls, shall extend uphill of the protected slope line
shown on the following map. Protected slope areas may count toward required open space if 8
they retain existing trees or are supplemented to provide a vegetative buffer.
10
(c) Stormwater Management: Stormwater runoff from sidewalks should be conveyed to
planted parkways or landscaped rain gardens. Overflow from parkways and runoff from the 12
roadways should be directed into bioswales and/or pervious paving in curbside parking areas,
located along the street edges where it can infiltrate into the ground. Perforated curbs through 14
which street stormwater runoff can flow to open vegetated swales may also be provided,
wherever feasible. Stormwater features such as bioswales or planted rain gardens may count 16
toward required open space only if they are entirely landscaped.

22.110.080 Public Space Standards.
. Future development of the Westgate Mixed Use District shall capitalize on opportunities 2
to create and enhance public spaces for recreational use, pedestrian activity, and ecological
health to strengthen the overall character of the District’s public spaces. 4
A. Public Space: General Requirements 6
Public space shall enhance and promote the environmental quality and the aesthetic
character of the Westgate District in the following ways: 8
(a) the landscape shall define, unify and enhance the public realm; including streets, parks,
plazas, and sidewalks; 10
(b) the landscape shall be sensitive to its environmental context and utilize plant species
that reduce the need for supplemental irrigation water; 12
(c) the landscape shall cleanse and detain storm water on site by utilizing a combination of
biofiltration, permeable paving and subsurface detention methods; and, 14
(d) the landscape shall be compatible with encouraging health and wellness, encouraging
walking, bicycling, and other activities. 16
B. Public Space: Sustainability 18
The goal for the overall landscape design of public spaces is to create a unified,
harmonious, socially vibrant, and aesthetically pleasing environment that also integrates 20
sustainable concepts and solutions to restore natural functions and processes. The public right
of way and urban\street runoff becomes an extension of existing drainage pathways and the 22
natural ecology.
Water efficient landscaping shall be introduced to reduce irrigation requirements based on a 24
soil/ climate analysis to determine the most appropriate indigenous/native-in-character, and
drought tolerant plants. All planted areas, except for lawn and seeded groundcover, shall 26
receive a surface layer of specified recycled mulch to assist in the retention of moisture and
reduce watering requirements, while minimizing weed growth and reducing the need for 28
chemical herbicide treatments.
Where irrigation is required, high efficiency irrigation technology with low-pressure 30
applications such as drip, soaker hose, rain shut-off devices, and low volume spray will be
used. The efficiency and uniformity of a low water flow rate reduces evaporation and runoff 32
and encourages deep percolation. After the initial growth period of three to seven years,
irrigation may be limited in accordance with City requirements then in place. 34
The location and selection of all new tree planting will implement ‘green infrastructure’
principles and visually express the underlying interconnectivity of the Westgate development 36
by doing the following:
1. Species selection shall be comprised of an appropriate mix of evergreen and 38
deciduous trees.
2. Trees shall be used to define the landscape character of recreation and open space 40
areas, identify entry points, and reinforce the legibility of the neighborhood by
defining major and minor thoroughfares for pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles. 42
3. Trees shall also be used to soften and shade surface parking and circulation areas.

C. Stormwater Management.
Stormwater shall be consistent with chapter 18.30 ECDC. 4
Stormwater and hydrology components shall be integrated into the Westgate District to
restore and maintain natural functions and processes, mitigate negative environmental 6
impacts.
Public rights-of-way, proposed open space and parking lots shall filter and infiltrate 8
stormwater to the maximum extent feasible to protect the receiving waters of Puget Sound.
This ecological concept transcends the Westgate District to positively affect the surrounding 10
neighborhoods, stream corridors and the regional watershed.
The two primary objectives of the proposed stormwater and hydrology components are: 12
(a) to reduce volume and rate of runoff; and
(b) to eliminate or minimize runoff pollutants through natural filtration. 14
These objectives shall be met by:
(a) maximizing pervious areas; 16
(b) maximizing the use of trees;
(c) controlling runoff into bioswales and biofiltration strips; 18
(d) utilizing permeable paving surfaces where applicable and feasible;
(e) utilizing portions of parks and recreational spaces as detention basin; and 20
(f ) removing sediments and dissolved pollutants from runoff.
22
D. SR-104 / 100th Avenue Intersection.
The configuration of development, amenity space, open space, and landscaping at this key 24
intersection is intended to provide a sense of place and serve as a signal of arrival at the
Westgate area. 26
1. Step-backs are required for buildings at this intersection, as illustrated in Figure
22.110.010.B. 28
2. The required setback areas at this intersection shall be designed to use a combination of
landscaping and amenity features (e.g. water features, art work) to signify the intersection’s 30
importance as a focal point of the Westgate area.

22.110.090 Height Bonus.
Areas eligible for a 4th story height bonus are shown in the diagram contained in chapter 2
22.110.010.B ECDC. Areas within the Westgate Mixed Use District that are not shown in
diagram ECDC 22.110.010.B may not contain four story buildings regardless of how many 4
points such a development could achieve on the Height Bonus Score Sheet, below. In order to
obtain the height bonus for projects in eligible areas, the proposal must obtain 8 points from 6
the Height Bonus Score Sheet, with at least one point in each of at least four different scoring
categories. 8
When a 4th story is proposed in a building, the 4th story must be stepped back at least 10
feet from a building façade facing SR-104 or 100th Ave W. In addition, no 3rd or 4th story may 10
be located within 30 feet of the intersection of SR-100 and 100th Ave W, measured from the
corner points of the right-of-way intersection. 12
For proposals seeking to earn points in the Green Building Program category, the applicant
shall be required to submit a deposit sufficient for the city to retain an independent green 14
building consultant who is qualified to evaluate the construction of the building at key
milestones in order to determine that the building is being constructed in a manner that is 16
consistent with the points proposed on the Height Bonus Score Sheet.

concerns was budgetary; she feared that one or more of the car dealers on Highway 99 would decide they
could cease selling cars and retire with the proceeds of developing their lot residential which would have
an enormous sales tax hit to the City for little apparent purpose. She preferred to restore the flexible
mixed use concept and not what is in essence a rezone to pure residential.
Councilmember Peterson commented this amendment seemed to be in conflict with the motion; the
Council was presented two ordinances, one with and one without the language Councilmember Petso
proposes to include. Councilmember Petso assumed she was allowed to propose amendments. Mr.
Taraday suggested Councilmembers consider amendments on their merits and vote them up or down.
Councilmember Peterson commented this is a great opportunity to take advantage of what is already a
mixed use zone by creating some much needed residential in an area that is lacking in residential
properties.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether the ordinance removes the ability for commercial
development. Ms. Hope answered it does not. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas clarified commercial
development would still be allowed and it was not just a residential ordinance. Ms. Hope agreed.
Councilmember Johnson relayed her understanding that any property two acres or more can have
residential in a mixed use property. This is a commercial corridor and the commercial quality needs to be
preserved and enhanced. She supported redevelopment near the Swift stations but she was uncertain she
supported wholesale redevelopment of the corridor that could include residential as that would not be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

11. POTENTIAL ACTION ON THE PLANNING BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE:
1) AN AMENDMENT TO THE EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE CREATING
A NEW WESTGATE MIXED USE ZONE AND RELATED DESIGN STANDARDS; AND
2) AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING MAP CHANGING THE BN, BC AND BC-EW ZONES
IN THE WESTGATE COMMERCIAL AREA TO A NEW WESTGATE MIXED USE ZONE
DESIGNATION
Development Services Director Shane Hope explained the Planning Board’s recommendations are
incorporated into the proposal. Approximately 95% of the proposal reflects the Planning Board’s
concepts; approximately 5% has been refined since the Planning Board’s review to address issues raised
by the Council or at the public hearing.
Planning Manager Rob Chave explained:
• Planning Board recommended two distinct actions:
o Establishment of new zone (Westgate Mixed Use)
o Rezoning of commercial properties in the Westgate area to WMU
• Current draft reflects Council modifications and changes of detail but is still consistent with the
Planning Board’s original recommendations.
He relayed details of the Westgate code discussion:
Packet Page 244 of 320
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
November 3, 2014
Page 10
• Council public hearings on August 4 and October 7
• Draft ordinance provided in tonight’s packet
• Attachments are the same as included for the October public hearing, with the same changes
highlighted in ‘red’ in Exhibit 2
• One additional change was made in response to a Council question that addresses more specific
standard for typical planting/sidewalk strip
He relayed two questions to be resolved:
1. Are the sidewalk/planting strip standards helpful?
• Intended to clarify the minimum standard, consistent with current Engineering ROW
standards.
• Complementary to the SR-104/100th Ave intersection requirements (3rd & 4th floor stepback,
additional landscape/entry feature)
2. Does the Council want a 12-foot setback (recommended by Planning Board) or a 20-foot setback
for buildings?
• Council has yet to vote on a setback standard.
• Testimony from Bartells indicating their support for a 12-foot setback.
He displayed and described a diagram with a 5-foot planting strip, 7-foot sidewalk, 10-feet from the back
of curb to the right-of-way line, and a 12-foot setback, explaining on the Walgreen’s site approximately 2
feet of the sidewalk was in an easement on the property. Under the current 12-foot setback requirement
(10 feet of right-of-way plus 12-foot setback), there is approximately 22 feet from the back of the curb;
the building must be constructed outside that 22 feet.
He displayed and described a second diagram illustrating the 20-foot setback the Council has discussed:
5-foot planting strip, 7-foot sidewalk, 10-feet from the back of curb to the right-of-way line, and a 20-foot
setback which provides a total of 30 feet from the back of the curb. With a 20-foot setback, it was likely
more of the amenity space would occur in that area.
Mr. Chave advised the sidewalk language was inadvertently duplicated on pages 414-415 in Section
22.10.025 and on page 389 in Section 16.110.025. He recommended the duplicate language be deleted
from Section 22.10.025
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to the map with the number of stories in the quadrants, relaying
her understanding that the buildings in the Bartells quadrant along 100th Avenue were 3 stories. Mr.
Chave answered they have always been 4 stories Councilmember Fraley-Monillas recalled 4 stories were
not desirable on the corners of the quadrants to avoid a tunnel affect. Mr. Chave answered there are 2
provisions that address that, 1) the 30-foot stepback from the intersection for a 3rd or 4th story, and 2) all
4-story building that face toward 100th or SR-104 have a 10-foot stepback. Councilmember Fraley-
Monillas asked whether there were amenities required to obtain a 4th story. Mr. Chave referred to the
height bonus table to obtain a 4th story. The 4th story was not automatic; developers must do more than
one thing from the height bonus table.
Councilmember Johnson observed along the SR-104 corridor the current building setback is 20 feet. Mr.
Chave agreed, noting a couple BC zoned properties at the north end do not have any setback. Most of
Westgate is zone BN which currently has a 20-foot setback. Councilmember Johnson observed an interim
ordinance in place a couple years ago had an 8-foot setback. Mr. Chave advised only 2 building were
constructed under that interim ordinance, the bank on the corner which has an approximately 10-foot
setback, and the empty pad between SR104 and Walgreens which is proposed to be a large Starbucks
store. Councilmember Johnson observed in the Key Bank example the distance from the curb was not 30
feet, it was only 8, 10 or 12 feet. Mr. Chave explained the reason he cited 30 feet was the location of
buildings also needs to consider what is in the right-of-way. There is approximately 9-10 feet to work
Packet Page 245 of 320
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes

Page 11
with in the right-of-way and generally that is where the sidewalk and planting strip are located. The
setback begins at the right-of-way and moves back. With a 12-foot building setback there is 21-22 feet to
work with. With a 20-foot setback, there is approximately 30 feet to work with.
Councilmember Johnson pointed out that was unknown until all the right-of-way information was
available. It appears there was a 20-foot from the sidewalk building setback at Rosecourt and the other
senior facility. Mr. Chave commented the amount of right-of-way varies outside the central Westgate
area. It is generally about 80 feet; five 12-foot lanes leave approximately 9-10 feet of right-of-way.
Councilmember Johnson commented right-of-way widths was one of the results she looked forward to
from the transportation study. Her position has been that that information should be available before any
changes are made.
Councilmember Bloom referred to the 12 foot and 20 foot setbacks, relaying her understanding of Mr.
Chave’s explanation that the setback is from the right-of-way. Mr. Chave reviewed the drawing with a 20-
foot setback, identifying the right-of-way line, 10 feet within the right-of-way that is available for
frontage improvements, 20-feet begins at that line which is assumed to be the property line; a building can
be constructed outside that 20 feet. Under the proposed regulations, the building setback is 12 feet.
Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding the right-of-way location is not known on all
properties. Mr. Chave answered most of the frontage along PCC, Walgreens and on the south side to the
east is consistently 10 feet. Most of the 100th is 9-10 feet. Councilmember Bloom asked about the
frontage on the southeast corner. Mr. Chave answered it varies as the paved surface wanders somewhat
within the right-of-way. Generally the right-of-way is 80 feet wide with 60 feet of pavement. Determining
the location of sidewalk relative to the right-of-way line in that location will arise during development.
Councilmember Bloom agreed with Councilmember Johnson’s position that the location of the right-of-
way should be identified before determining the setback.
Councilmember Petso observed the southwest corner, the one where the location of the right-of-way is
unknown, is where Bartells wants to move their store. Mr. Chave answered he knows where the right-of-
way is but cannot identify on a map exactly where it falls relative to the location of pavement.
Councilmember Petso observed with a 12-foot setback in the Walgreen’s area, there would be
construction that is 22-feet back from the current travel lanes. She asked the distance between the travel
lane and the building at the southwest corner with a 12-foot setback. Mr. Chave could not say.
Councilmember Petso asked if it would be less than 22 feet. Mr. Chave answered it entirely depends on
where the right-of-way is relative to the pavement.
Councilmember Petso asked about installing a deceleration lane or right turn lane with a 12-foot setback
near Walgreen’s. Assuming the width necessary for a deceleration or right turn lane was between 10 and
12 feet, Mr. Chave envisioned the sidewalk would curve into the other reserved area. Councilmember
Petso observed if there was a 10-12 foot deceleration/right lane, shifting the sidewalk over would place it
against the building. Mr. Chave answered the building would still be setback 12 feet regardless of what
occurred in the right-of-way. He assumed a pullout would be a short distance. Councilmember Petso
relayed her understanding of Mr. Chave’s explanation that somehow the sidewalk could be moved into
the 12 feet without being against the building. Mr. Chave agreed.
Councilmember Petso referred to the map illustrating the heights in the quadrants and asked where the 30-
foot circle was measured from. Mr. Chave answered it was measured from the property line.
Councilmember Petso remarked except at the southwest corner where it would be in a yet undetermined
location. Mr. Chave said the only thing he did not know was where the pavement was relative to the right-
of-way line. It is fairly consistently 10 feet but varies slightly at the southwest and northwest corners.
Councilmember Petso referred to the northeast corner, assuming there is 10 feet of right-of-way outside of
the pavement, she asked whether the 30 feet would be measured from there. Mr. Chave answered that is
Packet Page 246 of 320
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
November 3, 2014
Page 12
where the setback would be measured from. There is 10 feet available in the right-of-way for frontage
improvements; then there is the building setback, 12 or 20 feet or something in between. The effective
amount of space for sidewalk, planting strip, etc. varies from 22 to 30 feet depending on the setback that
is selected. Councilmember Petso observed the 30 feet is not measured from the property line but from
the existing pavement. Mr. Chave answered it is measured from the back of curb.
Councilmember Mesaros asked Mr. Chave in his experience as a planner the real impact of 12 or 20 feet
setback in terms of what the development looks like. Mr. Chave answered the biggest difference is how
the space and the building is configured. The further back buildings are pushed, the more likely the
amenity space will be in between the building and SR-104 rather than on the back side where the parking
and most of the activities occur.
Councilmember Mesaros observed it would behoove the City to have a 12-foot setback which is really 22
feet from the pavement so the developer has more space behind the building for amenities. Mr. Chave
answered that was the hope; some of the pictures such as Orenco Station in Hillsboro where the buildings
are along a major travel way, most of the landscaping, pedestrian walkways, etc. are behind the buildings.
In Westgate, it was envisioned people would park behind the buildings and the goal was a friendly
experience on the interior of the quadrant so people would park once and walk to businesses instead of
driving. Generally the wider the street setback, the more likely it is the amenities will go there rather than
on the back.
Councilmember Peterson asked for a guess regarding the right-of-way on the southwest corner. Mr.
Chave answered the right-of-way is 80 feet across; generally the pavement is 60 feet wide with a few odd
configurations. There is 80 feet before the setback and the building; the general placement of building
will closely resemble the other areas. He could not be definitive about where the right-of-way lines were
in that area.
Councilmember Peterson observed that had been discussion regarding 12 feet versus 20 feet and asked
whether the Council could choose something in between. Mr. Chave answered yes. Councilmember
Peterson asked whether the setback had to be consistent throughout. Due to concern expressed about
crowding building at the corner, he asked whether the setback at the corner could be 15 feet which might
also address concerns about a future turn lane. Mr. Chave agreed an enhanced setback at the already
identified circle at the corner could be established.
Councilmember Johnson said she wanted to avoid the situation that occurred at Key Bank where there is
not a 5-foot planter strip or a 7-foot sidewalk for a total of 12 feet and the building setback is not 30 feet,
it is approximately 12-15 feet. She asked how that could be avoided on the Bartells corner without the
information from the transportation study. Mr. Chave answered the sidewalk on the southeast corner is
probably more than 7 feet but lacks a planting strip. He noted a planting strip cannot be provided at the
intersection; generally what is desirable is more sidewalk area. That is the goal with the upper stories
stepped back further, etc. The sidewalk in front of Starbucks is in the right-of-way; he was not certain
how much additional space was available.
Councilmember Johnson referred to the circle concept with additional building step back for the 3rd or 4th
story, recalling there was also a landscape emphasis at that key intersection. Mr. Chave answered
language is included in code regarding signature artwork, water feature, etc. within the setback area. The
additional step back for 3rd or 4th floors would result in lower buildings at the setback and additional step
back for taller buildings to create an open feel.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked what harm there would be in leaving the setback as it was while
the traffic study was being completed. Mr. Chave answered the biggest problem for property owners is
uncertainty. Bartells is in the process of purchasing property; they have a significant concern with a 20
foot setback. He was unsure how that would impact their decision to purchase property on that corner.

The study will be completed in early 2015, if a 20-foot setback is established, changing it would require
going back to the Planning Board, City Council, hearings, etc.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas expressed concern the Council was putting the cart before the horse,
noting the Council had allocated a lot of money for a traffic study. Mr. Chave clarified it is a corridor
study. He suggested the Council set a reasonable setback; the corridor study may determine that is
reasonable and no change is needed.
Main Motion
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO ACCEPT THE PLANNING BOARD’S RECOMMENDATIONS WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF A 16-FOOT SETBACK INSTEAD OF A 20-FOOT SETBACK.
Council President Buckshnis commented the materials in the packet are extremely well done and she
thanked staff for talking with her. She commented on the circle at the intersection for art and development
that did not occur as envisioned such as Key Bank and the Compass apartments. There are enough
parameters in the document with regard to setback, height bonuses, green factor tools, etc. and a 16-foot
setback is in the middle. Mr. Chave commented regardless of the setback that is selected, the Council can
revisit it when the corridor study is complete.
Amendment #1
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS,
TO AMEND TO KEEP THE 16 FOOT SETBACK FOR BUILDINGS AROUND THE CIRCLE IN
THE CENTER BUT REDUCE THE SETBACK TO THE EAST, WEST NORTH, AND SOUTH TO
12 FEET.
Mr. Chave described how that would accomplished; the language printed on Figure 22.110.010.B,
Building Height Limit and Setback Requirements, regarding the circle would be revised to include an
additional setback as well as amend the corresponding text in the code.
Councilmember Peterson said this will provide more space for something artistic at that corner as well as
address concerns about a tunnel effect or crowding at the intersection. A 12-foot setback would also
provide some of the very narrow lots due to the bluffs some flexibility. He concluded the additional
setback as well as the 5-foot planter and 7-foot sidewalk would allow for better design. A 16-foot setback
in the entire Westgate area would harm some of the outlying properties.
Councilmember Petso did not support a 16-foot setback in only the circle area and preferred at least a 16-
foot setback in the entire Westgate area. If a travel lane or a turn lane is added in the future, the buildings
will be in the way.
Councilmember Bloom did not support the amendment due to the feeling of a building that close as well
as losing the potential for adding a lane in the future. She referred to the feeling at the Lynnwood
Crossing where there are 12-foot sidewalks and at least a 30-foot setback.
Councilmember Peterson acknowledged a corridor study was coming up. He was concerned nothing
would be built if all planning decision were made based on traffic patterns 20 years and felt that was
being very short sighted. In discussions with WSDOT, they have no concerns or plans for additional lanes
or turn lanes in the future. Ideally the corridor study would have preceded the Westgate plan. He
originally was satisfied with a 12-foot setback but was willing to provide a larger setback at the center.
Although the focus has been on the center, there are some very important properties in the outlying parts
of the zone that will be very detrimentally affected by a 16-foot setback all around.

Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding the traffic study did not say there would not be
problems in future. It said there would be an increase of approximately 400 vehicle and level of service D
would be maintained at the intersection. Mr. Chave recalled the study projected some increase in traffic
but found LOS in the area would not decline even if nothing was done such as turn lanes, widening, etc.
WSDOT has no interest in widening SR-104. In most communities with a highway like this running
through a key area such as Westgate, adding more pavement is detrimental because the result is not a
better LOS but more cars. The setbacks are not intended for additional paving but rather pedestrian,
bicycle, etc. amenities. He did not anticipate the corridor study would indicate a need for additional travel
lanes.
Councilmember Bloom reiterated the traffic study did not say everything would be fine in 20 years; it said
there would be more traffic and the LOS D would be maintained. She noted in same areas of the City
such as Perrinville, there are projects to raise LOS D to B. She questioned why maintaining a LOS D with
increased traffic was considered positive. Mr. Chave explained LOS D is the established LOS for that
intersection which is fairly typical for high volume, active intersections where a certain wait is expected.
Councilmember Bloom noted the corridor study will address not only LOS but also ingress/egress, bike
lanes, and other improvements to enhance the area. Under the current configuration it is difficult get into
Bartells, etc.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas relayed she visits Westgate almost daily. She was concerned a 12-foot
setback would produce the tunnel feeling she experienced in Redmond. She could live with a 16-foot
setback on all properties, noting a 20-foot setback was probably excessive. She asked Councilmember
Johnson her feeling about a 16-foot setback on all properties. Councilmember Johnson commented it was
a compromise but she still preferred to retain the current standards, wait 3-4 month to complete the
corridor study and make modifications based on data rather than hypothetical. The consultant indicated
they could complete the study within the first quarter next year. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas
suggested the Council approve the rest of the plan and wait to change the setback based on information
from the corridor study rather than picking numbers out of a hat.
Councilmember Mesaros commented an argument can also be made to approve Councilmember
Peterson’s amendment and then make changes as necessary when the corridor study is completed.
Councilmember Mesaros called for the question.

UPON ROLL CALL, AMENDMENT FAILED (3-4), COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS AND
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON AND MESAROS VOTING YES; AND COUNCILMEMBERS
BLOOM, FRALEY-MONILLAS, JOHNSON AND PETSO VOTING NO.
Amendment #2
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
AMEND TO ADD A PROVISION THAT REQUIRED SETBACKS AREAS, WHETHER ON
PROTECTED HILLSIDES OR NOT, MAY NOT BE USED TO SATISFY MORE THAN 50% OF
THE AMENITY SPACE OR OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS.
Councilmember Petso explained the purpose of this amendment was to help avoid covering an entire
parcel with construction and to encourage some of amenity space to be set into the development and not
located directly on SR104. She recalled discussion regarding the Compass building and the fact that
sitting on a bench on SR-104 did not necessarily constitute an amenity for everyone. Having the setback
only count as 50% of the amenity space will ensure some of the amenity space will be provided elsewhere
on the site.
Packet Page 249 of 320
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
November 3, 2014
Page 15
For Councilmember Bloom, Councilmember Petso explained Council President Buckshnis’ motion was
to adopt the entire plan with the exception of changing the setback from 12 to 16 feet. In the proposed
plan, the entire setback area can be counted as amenity space. Under her amendment, the setback could
only account for half the required amenity space. Councilmember Bloom expressed support for the
amendment as it will resolve some of the concerns Mr. Chave relayed that the developer would provide
all the amenity space in front.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked Mr. Chave for his input regarding the proposed amendment. Mr.
Chave referred to the discussion regarding amenity space on the McDonald’s property. Under existing
code 8,000 square feet of the property is reserved for open space. That increases to 31,000 under the
provisions as written. The required setback would not be sufficient to accommodate all the amenity space;
some would need to be provided in the back or inside the property. His concern with the proposed
amendment was taking away usable area for a building, parking, circulation, etc.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas provided an example using Councilmember Petso’s amendment; if
1,000 square feet of amenity space was required, only 500 could be in the setback and the other 500
would need to be provided elsewhere on the site. She asked whether it would simply be a wash if the
property were required to provide 1,000 square feet of setback. Mr. Chave explained if there was 1,000
square feet of setback area but only 500 could be used for amenity space plus an additional 500 square
feet of amenity space equated to 1,500 square feet instead of only 1,000 square feet.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether having all the amenity space in the setback would be
desirable. Mr. Chave answered it was unlikely a development could provide all the amenity space in the
setback but the bigger the setback area is, the more likely it will be used as amenity space. Using the
McDonalds example, the required amenity space is 11,400 square feet. Even with a 20-foot setback, there
is only 8,000 square feet in the setback for amenity space; another 3,400 square feet must be provided
elsewhere on the site. If the area for building, parking, circulation is significantly reduced, no
development will occur.
Councilmember Mesaros appreciated Councilmember Petso’s concern about having amenity space on
SR-104, relaying the best solution is a 12-foot setback so amenity space will be on the interior of the
property. Mr. Chave commented on the interaction between the setback and the right-of-way. Sidewalks,
planting strips, etc. can be located in the 10 feet of right-of-way; seating areas must be located on the
property which means they will not be right on SR-104.
Councilmember Petso asked whether the calculation regarding amenity and setback space done for the
McDonald’s had been done for any of the corner sites. Mr. Chave answered it had not. On the
McDonald’s site the open space can be provided on the slopes. The corner properties do not have slopes
so a combination of open space and amenity space needs to be provided on the property. Councilmember
Petso observed the Bartells corner would also has a wooded slope.
Council President Buckshnis called for the question.
Action on Amendment #2
AMENDMENT FAILED (2-5), COUNCILMEMBERS PETSO AND BLOOM VOTING YES.
Amendment #3
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
AMEND THE COMMERCIAL PARKING TO REQUIRE 1 SPACE PER 350 SQUARE FEET OF
COMMERCIAL SPACE, NOT 1 SPACE PER 500 SQUARE FEET.
Councilmember Petso explained the purpose of the amendment was to help ensure viable commercial
activity remains at Westgate. She recalled the effective parking presently available at QFC or PCC was
Packet Page 250 of 320
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
November 3, 2014
Page 16
approximately 1 space per 350 square feet. She preferred that ratio instead of 1 space per 500 square feet
which is even less parking than was approved for Highway 99, an amount she felt utterly inappropriate
for Westgate.
Councilmember Bloom expressed support for the amendment, recalling not having enough parking was
one of the concerns expressed by people who have issues with the Westgate plan. There are problems
with parking now and many are concerned about what the parking will be like if less is required.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked how 1 space per 500 square feet was determined. Mr. Chave
answered that was the amount recommended by the UW Team based on their experience. The leaders of
the UW Team included Julie Kreigh, an architect, and Jill Sterrett, a planner and private consultant. Those
ratios make sense when the existing parking is considered. He emphasized the parking requirements are
minimums; the fear with providing too much parking is areas are not utilized effectively. For example,
there are areas in Westgate where parking is tucked behind building to meet parking requirements but it is
not functional parking. The preference is for a blended rate to allow uses to share parking. The parking
standards in the current code date from the 1960s and 70s where the peak parking demand was used to
determine the parking standard. As a result, many legacy developments have large expanses of parking
that are not used on a daily basis. The intent in the Westgate plan was to allow parking from a variety of
businesses to overflow into other parking areas as parking demands ebb and flow.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas observed QFC has 1 space per 475 and PCC has 1 space per 486 square
feet. Mr. Chave answered that is parking provided on their property; they also use parking elsewhere in
the development which is why a blended rate makes sense.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas relayed she has been told developments such as QFC will build as much
parking as they need; they won’t under-build the parking because people won’t shop there. Mr. Chave
noted one of the reasons PCC located on that site was the substantial amount of parking in the area and
they likely have locked up the parking via lease agreements. He was not familiar with QFC’s lease
arrangement but their parking clearly overflows into other areas. One of the differences is property
ownership; QFC owns their property and will ensure whatever they do supports their business; the same
is true for Bartells.

AND PETSO VOTING YES; AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS AND
COUNCILMEMBERS FRALEY-MONILLAS, MESAROS AND PETERSON VOTING NO.
Amendment #4
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
AMEND THE MOTION TO CHANGE THE PARKING REQUIREMENT TO 1 SPACE PER 400
SQUARE FEET RATHER THAN 1 SPACE PER 500 SQUARE FEET.
Councilmember Petso suggested Councilmembers who feel Westgate should have less parking than
Highway 99 indicate why. Councilmember Peterson responded developers are smart when building and
these are parking minimums not restrictions.
Councilmember Mesaros said another reason is Westgate is much more walkable than Highway 99. He
frequently walks from his home to shop at Westgate.
Council President Buckshnis said many employees park in the Westgate parking lot; changing that would
free up parking. In addition there will be less need for parking as lifestyles change and people walk and
take the bus more. She referred to areas such as Charlotte where there is a blended parking rate.

Councilmember Petso asked why it was presumed developers would be more clever at Westgate than on
Highway 99.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas expressed support for Councilmember Petso’s amendment, commenting
commercial areas should have similar parking requirements.
Councilmember Bloom expressed support for the amendment, commenting some developers may focus
on residential and, as has happened in downtown, retail and commercial is an afterthought and there is not
enough parking.
Councilmember Peterson commented he would have supported a less restrictive parking ratio on
Highway 99. Demographics have shown the younger generation and the retiring generation want to get
out of their cars, use public transportation and live in walkable neighborhoods. The whole point of the
Westgate plan was to create a walkable neighborhood. Forcing more cars, parking and asphalt into the
development is not looking at what’s happening in the real world. With the type of housing proposed at
Westgate, he was surprised Councilmembers were supporting this parking ratio.
Action on Amendment #4
AMENDMENT CARRIED (4-3). COUNCILMEMBERS PETERSON AND MESAROS AND
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS VOTING NO.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.
Amendment #5
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
AMEND TO REQUIRE THE FIRST 45 FEET OF BUILDING DEPTH FACING THE STREET,
SIDEWALK, AMENITY SPACE OR OTHER PUBLIC AREA MAY NOT BE USED FOR
PARKING.
Councilmember Petso explained the purpose of this amendment was to avoid parking cars near public
spaces and encourage the use of such spaces for viable and diverse commercial activity.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked Mr. Chave to comment on the affect this would have. Mr. Chave
answered the amendment would remove any parking on the ground floor as most buildings would have
one of the items Councilmember Petso cited on the front of their building. The provision for 45 feet
comes from downtown where there is a uniform frontage. In Westgate some of the pedestrian activity will
be on the sidewalks on SR-104 or 100th; hopefully most of the activity would be on the backside.
Providing a sidewalk to link SR-104 to the area in back would remove another area for parking. In
essence the amendment would eliminate any parking on the ground floor which removes flexibility for
tuck-under parking on one side of the building. His overall concern with the amendment was eliminating
flexibility.
Councilmember Bloom observed the amendment prohibits parking in the first 45 feet on the street side.
Mr. Chave answered the amendment was not just the street; it was also sidewalk, amenity and other
public area. Councilmember Bloom assumed the purpose was so ingress/egress to parking would not
interfere with amenity space. Councilmember Petso envisioned amenity space configured as a plaza;
surrounding the plaza with a Starbucks might be cool but surrounding it with underground parking for the
residents would be less cool. She did not want to at a table next to tuck-under parking. Her intent was to
ensure street frontage was used for commercial space that complements the amenity space.

COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETSO, TO
AMEND THE MOTION TO RETAIN THE CURRENT 20-FOOT SETBACK.
Councilmember Peterson raised a point of order, stating Councilmember Johnson’s amendment changed
the intent of the original motion. Mayor Earling ruled Councilmember Johnson’s motion changed the
intent of main motion. Councilmember Petso appealed the ruling of the chair, stating the main motion
combined adoption of the ordinance with a change to the setback from 20 feet to 16 feet which makes
Councilmember Johnson’s amendment in order. It was the consensus of the Council that Councilmember
Johnson’s motion was in order.
Councilmember Johnson explained the Council has two choices, 1) retain the current standard, wait for
the transportation analysis and then make a change, or 2) make a change now and when the transportation
analysis is completed, make another change. She suggested staying the course, maintaining the current
standards and changing it as necessary when the transportation analysis is complete.

Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she did not agree necessarily with the 20 foot setback but she felt
the transportation study should be completed first and it will be done within the first quarter of 2015.
Although making changes will require going back through the Planning Board process, that may be
required anyway depending on the findings of the traffic study.
Councilmember Peterson expressed concern if the Council approves a setback and the corridor study
finds a different setback is appropriate, the Planning Board process will have to start again. Although it
pained him to do so, he made the following motion:
Motion to Table
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO TABLE DISCUSSION UNTIL THE CORRIDOR STUDY IS COMPLETE.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
12. WOODWAY POLICE SERVICES CONTRACT
Police Chief Al Compaan advised the current agreement between the City and Woodway for police
services expires December 31, 2014. The draft contact adds a CIP escalator and changes the incremental
15 -minute billing rate the City charges Woodway for police services.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if Chief Compaan had provided the rest of the statistics. Chief
Compaan answered he sent statistics for the past two years to Council this morning.
Councilmember Bloom observed the packet did not include information regarding the comparative
percentage of tax allocated to police services in Woodway versus Edmonds. She recalled that was
discussed when the Council last reviewed the contract and was part of the reason she voted against the
contract. Chief Compaan said he did not provide that information; it was his understanding Senior
Executive Council Assistant Jana Spellman was researching that for Council.
Councilmember Petso referred to an email she received from Councilmember Mesaros that contained
different terms than in the packet. She asked Councilmember Mesaros to comment on the status of his
proposal. Councilmember Mesaros relayed he had a very productive discussion with Woodway Mayor
Nichols last Friday but they were not able to reach agreement on the terms he suggested. He felt there was

8. PRESENTATION REGARDING CHANGED CAPITAL PRIORITIES IN THE 2015 BUDGET
FOR THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
Public Works Director Phil Williams explained the WWTP is a secondary treatment plant with a biologic
process. The aeration basins are full of biological organisms that consume the organic matter, turning it
into biomass. That process requires a great deal of air and there are two large centrifugal blowers, a 200
hp and a 300 hp. Eventually there will be two 150 hp units. The first new technology blower, a turbine
blower was installed in 2009. It worked well for a year and then began experiencing issues that were
covered under warranty through the Korean manufacturer. The unit is not repairable at this time and
needs to be replaced; the five year warranty lapsed in November 2014. The purchase of this unit in 2009
was $360,000. Purchase and installation of one unit was included in the 2015 budget under the current
energy savings contract. The Korean company’s successor in interest, a company that purchased the
technology and intellectual property as well as the manufacturing rights, did not legally take on any of the
liabilities for existing units.
The cost to replace the second unit including purchase, installation, programming, start-up, and testing is
expected to be $528,000. The actual change in capital dollars is $480,000 due to moving some items to
2016. This will not require a change in the sewer fund capital budget. Delay of the pipe replacement
program at Daley due to poor soil conditions will make available approximately $440,000 in additional
capital for the City’s share of the cost. The City's share would be 50.7% or $270,000. Partners in the
WWTP will provide the remaining $246,500. A budget amendment will be proposed to recognize
additional revenue from the WWTP’s partners to pay their share of the project. He also requested
authorization for the Mayor to sign two change orders that exceed $100,000 to implement the plan. He
summarized there were no better options.
Councilmember Johnson paraphrased Mr. Williams’ presentation: the old technology lasted 30-35 years
using higher energy and a proven technology. The warranty on the new technology that resulted in energy
savings lasted five years. She asked whether the old or the new technology was a better long term solution
for the WWTP. Mr. Williams answered he had confidence in the new technology; the issue was the
support from the manufacturer. Staff will continue to explore all options to collect what is owed to the
City under the warranty from the original manufacturer, their successor company, or the City’s own
insurance. At this time any significant recovery seems unlikely. He advised the blowers are very high
RPM units; typical life expectancy is 15+ years; the last two blowers lasted 20 and 30 years. This is a rare
event.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether the Daley Street sewer replacement would ever happen. Mr.
Williams answered it needs to be done but an entirely different approach such as micro-tunneling or
trenchless technology will be explored. A fixed sum is budgeted annually for sewer replacement and the
work is matched to the funding.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule this on next week’s Consent Agenda.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.
9. SR-104 ANALYSIS INCLUDING WESTGATE AREA
Transportation Engineer Bertrand Hauss introduced the project team, Don Samdahl and Ryan Abbotts,
Fehr & Peers. Mr. Hauss displayed a map and provided the project description:
x 5-miles of principal arterial from 76th Ave. W to the Edmonds Ferry Terminal
x Various modes of transportation interfacing along regional corridor
o High vehicle average daily traffic (20,000 vehicles per day)
o Multiple bus stops
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 10, 2015
Page 13
Packet Page 254 of 320
o High pedestrian activity along certain sections
o Bicycle connections
x Many transportation deficiencies exist at various intersections
He explained the purpose of the analysis was to develop a corridor master plan, identifying safety, access
management and streetscape improvements coordinated with Complete Streets principles and integrated
with the proposed form- based code for Westgate Village (SR-104 & 100
th Ave) and other zoning on
SR104
Don Samdahl, Fehr & Peers, reviewed guiding principles for the study:
1. Support both local and regional mobility
2. Improve circulation and safety for biking, walking, and transit access
3. Reinforce land use vision, including at Westgate
4. Create a sense of arrival in Edmonds and tie to the waterfront
5. Coordinate with the state and other entities
6. Take a phased approach that provides benefits over time
7. Promote environmental sustainability and economic vitality
Ryan Abbotts, Fehr & Peers, explained to frame the analysis of the SR-104 corridor, they delineated it
into unique areas. He displayed a map with photos identifying neighborhood connectors, pedestrian-
oriented areas around the ferry terminal, town center area through Westgate, and boulevards to focus the
type of improvements that would be considered for design elements for the SR-104 corridor. To assist in
their analysis, they looked at:
x Sight Lines
x Collisions
x Accessibility (whether pedestrian facilities are adequate per ADA)
x Walk routes, bicycle network and transit route structure
x Traffic & Operations
o Existing and projected future vehicle volumes
o Existing (2015) approx. 21,000 vehicles per day
o Future (2035) approx. 25,000 vehicles per day
o No widening of SR-104 needed
He described input into the study:
x SR-104 Committee
o Councilmember
o Planning Board member
o City Staff
o WSDOT
o Community Transit
x Bicycle Committee
x Public Workshop
Mr. Abbotts displayed a map of the Westgate area, explaining one of the areas of focus was Westgate.
Although many think of Westgate as SR-104 and 100th, it is a broader area; they looked at different nodes
and how they interacted with major activity zone. He displayed a table of walk score ranges in Edmonds,
explaining a walk score of 90-100 is considered a walker’s paradise, 70 to 89 is considered very walkable;
downtown Edmonds is ranked 81 and Westgate is ranked 70.
He displayed a diagram of the Westgate SR-104/100th intersection, advising their analysis confirmed:
x Long-term street lane and width requirements
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 10, 2015
Page 14
Packet Page 255 of 320
x Intersection operates acceptably today and in the future
He displayed an Access & Internal Circulation diagram of the Westgate area that identified:
x Existing driveways to remain
x Existing driveways to remove
x Existing driveways to become right turn only
x Existing driveway link to internal circulation drive
x Conceptual internal circulation drive
Mr. Abbotts explained the goal of the Access and Internal Circulation diagram was to create a predictable
traffic pattern and a more friendly walking and driving environment in the area. The specifics regarding
which driveways are moved or closed would happen as development occurs in the area. He provided
cross-sections of Westgate SR 104 and photographic examples of setbacks:
x 12-foot setback
x 15-foot setback
He explained there is currently an 80-foot right-of-way. He identified the distance of a 12-foot and 15-
foot setback using items in the Council Chambers, remarking both 12 and 15 feet provide quite a bit of
room for a planter strip, sidewalk and amenity zone in front of the face of the building.
Mr. Samdahl reviewed Westgate parking standards:
x Current commercial parking ratios: 1 space per 350 to 450 square feet
x Minimum of 1 space per 400 square feet adopted for SR-99
x Westgate is more walkable – a higher minimum ration (e.g. 1 space per 500 square feet) is
reasonable
x Residential uses will have their own parking
x City can fine-tune the minimum parking ratio over time
He relayed their conclusions with regard to Westgate:
x No additional travel lanes needed along SR-104 and 100th Ave W
x Recommended setbacks:
o 15’ at the intersection
o 12’ away from the intersection
x Parking standards: minimum 1 stall per 500 commercial square feet is reasonable, plus residential
parking. Can be refined over time.
Next steps – SR 104 Study:
x Complete analysis of complete streets needs throughout corridor
x Work with committee to prepare corridor master plan and list of project
x Include key projects in Transportation Element of Comprehensive Plan
x Finalize study in late spring 2015
Councilmember Petso asked whether they studied or evaluated the ability to put a protected bike lane on
SR-104. Mr. Samdahl answered that would be very difficult due to the need to maintain the existing
traffic capacity in the 80-foot right-of-way. In most of the corridor the sidewalk and the right-of-way
takes up the 80 feet; adding a protected bike lane would require purchasing additional right-of-way. The
committee felt there were other bike routes that serve a similar function and a bike lane was not
recommended at this time. Councilmember Petso commented what happens in lieu of a bike lane is
people ride on the sidewalks on SR-104 which she assumed would not factor favorably on the walkability
score or Compete Streets Index. Mr. Abbotts said the walkability score does not consider the mix of
users, just the area of access.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 10, 2015
Page 15
Packet Page 256 of 320
Council President Fraley-Monillas asked whether Cascade Bike Club had been consulted. Mr. Bertrand
said that specific issue has not been discussed.
Councilmember Petso explained the Council has already voted on parking and setbacks in Westgate. One
of the things the Council was seeking was a map of the existing right-of-way near Westgate showing
property lines. The Council had been told the road does not necessarily sit within the right-of-way and, as
a result, setbacks were measured from the property line, making it difficult to determine, particular for the
south side of SR-104, how far the building would be from the street. For example the Key Bank building
does not appear to be the anticipated distance from the traffic lane. She asked whether a map of the
existing right-of-way was available now. Mr. Samdahl answered GIS identifies the basic right-of-way
which is overlaid onto the street systems. Although not exact, on SR104 through Westgate it is a fairly
consistent 80 feet. They could measure pretty closely the spacing for certain developments like the bank.
Councilmember Petso recalled that was something the Council wanted, a map showing the right-of-way
relative to the road at the intersection of SR 104 and 100
th. Mr. Abbotts said the information available
assumes the GIS is accurate with regard to existing property lines. To be truly accurate would require a
survey of the property boundaries.
Councilmember Petso referred to the analysis that indicates the level of service (LOS) at the intersection
is fine now and will be fine into future. Her understanding was if a vehicle sits through two light cycles
which she did today at 12:20 p.m., that was LOS F, not LOS D. Mr. Abbotts advised there are many
different measures; two cycles does not necessarily mean LOS F. LOS is measured using average vehicle
delays. Councilmember Petso said she and five other cars were there for 3 minutes trying to turn left onto
SR-104 from 9th/100th. She was not blocking the entrance to PCC but 1-2 cars behind her likely were.
That was a concern for her especially with the suggestion to close driveways. Mr. Abbotts said their
analysis considers average days, current traffic counts and current signal timing. If that happens every day
or 80% of the time, it is a typical condition; if it happens once a month, it may not be typical. He
wondered what else was occurring that day to make that happen. Councilmember Petso said it happens
frequently but she was uncertain the percentage of time. Mr. Abbotts said the models look at the average
vehicle delay. Mr. Hauss pointed out that intersection is impacted by ferry traffic. Councilmember Petso
said when she experienced that delay today there was no ferry traffic and it was not rush hour.
Councilmember Petso recalled a question about installing a deceleration lane to get into the PCC parking
lot and asked how much additional right-of-way that would require. Mr. Samdahl answered it would
require at least an 11-foot width for the length of the lane. Councilmember Petso concluded that
presumably would require purchasing additional right-of-way.
Councilmember Petso inquired about a right turn lane near Key Bank for northbound traffic on 100
th to
access SR 104. Mr. Samdahl said they considered a road diet with bike lanes on 100th; to make the
intersection operate satisfactorily, there would need to be a northbound right turn lane approaching SR-
104. Councilmember Petso asked whether additional right-of-way would need to be purchased. Mr.
Samdahl answered it would fit within the existing right-of-way.
Councilmember Petso recalled the concept of a road diet was discussed and abandoned during previous
Westgate discussions. She referred to July 23, 2013 Council minutes when the question was asked and
Mr. Clifton’s answer, “The plan is not to reduce the number of lanes on 100th/9th. The traffic impact study
determined it was not appropriate to put 9th Avenue on a road diet and instead recommended leaving the
roadway as it is. She asked whether Fehr & Peers had reviewed that traffic impact study. Mr. Samdahl
answered yes, their volumes closely matched those.They did not have access to the detailed traffic
analysis but they also did some more detailed simulations. A road diet could be considered and they felt it
could operate satisfactorily but it would require some additional investigation. Councilmember Petso
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

Packet Page 257 of 320
asked what was wrong with the prior study if both used similar traffic counts but reached different
conclusions. Mr. Samdahl said he did not have an answer.
Councilmember Mesaros said he passed through the intersection three times today, once without stopping
for a light at all. He referred to the map of recommended driveway closures around the intersection,
explaining he frequently uses one of the driveways on the northwest corner of SR-104 that is
recommended for closure because it has better sightlines than the driveway closer to the corner. He
recommended closing the driveway that is closer to the corner.
Councilmember Bloom referred to the recommendation for 13-foot sidewalks at the intersection and 8-
foot sidewalks and 5-foot amenity zone away from the intersection. Mr. Samdahl referred to the Westgate
SR-104 cross-section with 12-foot setback, explaining that beginning at the curb there is a 5-foot planter
strip, 8-foot sidewalk, 9-foot setback before the building, a total of 22 feet. The actual setback is the
distance from the edge of the right-of-way to the buildings. Councilmember Bloom asked the total
distance from the curb. Mr. Samdahl answered 22 feet. He explained within 40 feet of the intersection,
they envision the planter strip would largely go away and the sidewalk would be widened to
approximately 13 feet and instead of 9 feet to the building, there would be 12 feet, for a total of 25 feet, 3
feet wider closer to the intersection.
Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding of the answer to Councilmember Petso’s question was
addition right-of-way would need to be purchased to provide bike lanes with a barrier and they were not
recommending bike lanes on SR-104 or 100th. Mr. Samdahl said they were not recommending bike lanes
on SR-104 but a road diet on 100
th could allow for bike lanes further widening. Without the road diet,
there could still be bike lanes on 9th and 100th approaching Westgate but bikes would need to share the
lane near the intersection unless the City purchased additional right-of-way to extend the bike lane.
Councilmember Bloom observed even with a road diet and bike lanes, there would not be separation
between the bike lane and traffic. Mr. Samdahl answered not on 100th. Mr. Hauss noted there are 4-foot
shoulders ½ mile south of the intersection at 238th. The road diet could potentially extend to Main Street
or Caspers. That would require parking studies because it would eliminate parking on one side of 9th.
Councilmember Bloom observed even with a road diet on 9
th or 100th, there is no possibility of any
separation between the traffic and bike lane such as candlesticks as recommended by 8-80 Cities. Mr.
Abbotts answered there may be width in that area with a road diet to do a buffered bike lane. A buffered
bike lane is a painted stripe with a diagonal hatch. Councilmember Bloom said 8-80 Cities recommends a
physical barrier between bike lanes and traffic such as candlesticks, grade separation or other barrier. She
recalled hearing that sharrows are not working Seattle. Mr. Abbotts said that could be evaluated. Traffic
volumes on 100th do not warrant a grade separated facility. Protected bike lanes or cycle tracks are
typically reserved for areas that are more dangerous areas or areas with history due to the capital cost.
Councilmember Bloom’s suggestion for a positive barrier between the bicycle facility and the roadway
such as a curb would require raising the entire 10-12 foot width of the cycle track. Candlesticks and paint
are both visual barriers. There is a much larger capital cost with concrete versus paint. Mr. Hauss advised
the existing street width is 44 feet; two 10 foot lanes and an 11-foot turn lane is 31 feet, 7-8 feet for
parking and 5 feet for a bike lane. He summarized there was a limited amount of additional space unless
the road was widened.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if it was common for bicyclist to ride on State highways where there is
that much traffic going that fast. In her experience, they generally divert to other routes such as 100th,into
Shoreline, and onto the Interurban Trail. Mr. Abbotts responded there are a lot of examples of bike lanes
on State highways throughout the United States; they are not conducive to a family. A bike lane on a state
route is for “the spandex crowd,” a facility for a very limited cross-section of cyclists. Depending on the
speed of the roadway, it would also be a bike lane for cyclists who would be comfortable taking the lane.

March 10, 2015

Packet Page 258 of 320
If the goal is a facility for all users and abilities, that is not a bike lane on a State highway. Mr. Samdahl
said if a bike lane on SR-104 was desired, a positive separation would be preferable. He cited the Burke
Gilman along SR-522 as an example. Even if the width existed, he did not recommend a regular bike lane
on SR-104 due to the speeds and volumes.
Mr. Hauss described alternate routes using existing facilities: the east-west corridor on 220
th from 9th to
84th has bike lanes and they will be extended to 76
th and the 220th project includes a new traffic signal
with bike lanes. That route has lower speeds and reaches the same point as SR-104. To the south on 100
th,
there are existing bike lanes and a 4-5 foot shoulder and a 30 mph speed limit. He summarized there are
alternate bike routes north and south of SR 104.
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled during WSDOT’s presentation at the Council retreat two years ago,
WSDOT did not have plans to expand SR-104. To add facilities on SR-104 would require the City
purchase the property.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said she has lived off SR-104 and 76th for 30 years and rarely sees a
bike on Edmonds Way; they typically use 76
th and 220th. She sees a bike on SR-104 approximately one a
month, and felt they were taking their life into their own hands due to the speeds and curves. She
suggested Cascade Bike Club be consulted regarding whether SR-104 would be a safe route for bicycles.
Councilmember Johnson said the WDSOT representative who made the presentation at the Council
retreat has also been a member of the technical committee. A district member of WSDOT has also
participated as well as a transit route planner from Community Transit. She thanked Fehr & Peers and
staff for providing this overview for the Council.
Councilmember Petso observed there are no improvements proposed for 76th & SR-104, an intersection
that is extraordinarily slow. Mr. Samdahl responded they are still investigating that intersection and have
collected newer counts. They will provide information on that intersection in the future.
Councilmember Petso asked the date of the traffic counts for Westgate. Mr. Samdahl answered October
2014. Councilmember Petso asked how the counts were adjusted for ferry traffic. Mr. Samdahl said they
were looking at afternoon peak hour conditions; they have seasonal counts on SR-104 and did some
adjustments. The forecasting was not for the peak ferry season; it was a typical time in the fall or spring
but reflects ferry traffic volumes during the hour.
Mayor Earling advised another presentation is scheduled on March 24. He requested Councilmembers
forward questions/comments to Mr. Hauss.
10. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling had no report.
11. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Buckshnis thanked citizens who called and emailed her regarding use of approximately
43% of the Council budget for a communications retraining session on Friday. The contract scope of
work was negotiated and approved solely by the Council President because the code is silent regarding
that administrative duty. The City is also paying former communication consultant Jim Reid $1800 for a
1½ - 2 hour wrap-up. She recognized all the negotiations have been completed and she plans to attend the
meeting. After the last meeting, many people complained to Mr. Reid, Mayor Earling and her that the
facilitator allowed the meeting to not be positive. She felt it was not appropriate for the Council President
to engage in a scope of work without the Council’s consent.

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 26, 2015
To: Bertrand Hauss, City of Edmonds
From: Donald Samdahl, Fehr & Peers
Subject: Westgate Area Transportation Analysis
SE14-0360
As part of the SR 104 Complete Streets Corridor Analysis, the consulting team was asked to
focus initial analysis on the Westgate area. A memorandum by Joseph Tovar (1/28/15)
summarizes the team’s review of a variety of transportation, land use and urban design issues.
This memorandum provides additional transportation perspectives on the following questions:
1. What are the long‐term street lane and width requirements on SR 104 and
100th Avenue W through Westgate?
2. How should bicycles and pedestrians be accommodated?
3. How should property access and internal circulation be considered?
This memorandum provides insights into each of these issues to help the city in finalizing its
form‐based code requirements.
What are the long-term street lane and width requirements on SR 104 and 100th Avenue W
through Westgate?
The team evaluated the current and forecasted traffic volumes, speeds and movements on
SR 104 and 100th Avenue W. This analysis took into account traffic forecasts to 2035, including
the effects of WSDOT ferry traffic and the impacts from build‐out of the Point Wells
development.

SR 104
WSDOT considers SR 104 as a ‘Main Street Roadway’ that has a multimodal focus and has no
plans to widen SR 104 through Edmonds. Our traffic forecasts and analysis confirm that no
additional widening/capacity is needed through Westgate.
100th Avenue W
Traffic volumes are anticipated to increase along 100th Avenue W; however, the projected traffic
increase could be accommodated with the existing lane configuration. No additional right‐of‐
way along 100th Avenue W is needed to provide for traffic flow and the wider sidewalk/planter
strip requirements.
Intersection Analysis
The team analyzed future (2035) traffic volumes and traffic operations at the SR 104/100th
Avenue W intersection. If no changes are made to the channelization, the intersection would
operate at Level of Service (LOS) D during the PM peak hour. The team also analyzed a road diet
on 100th Avenue W to allow for bicycle lanes and wider sidewalks through Westgate. The road
diet proposes a 3‐lane cross section plus bicycle lanes, planter strips and sidewalks (see
Figures 1 and 2). On the northbound 100th Avenue W approach to SR 104, the team
recommends the inclusion of a right turn lane to accommodate heavy right turning volumes (see
Figure 3). Adding a northbound right‐turn lane would eliminate the planter strip for the length
of the right turn lane. The resulting LOS would remain at D, although the overall intersection
delay would be slightly worse with the road diet compared to existing conditions. A LOS of D
meets the city’s performance threshold for acceptable intersection operations1. Under both
scenarios, delays could be reduced by allowing permissive + protected left turns on the
100th Avenue W approaches to the intersection.
In summary, both SR 104 and 100th Avenue W would have sufficient capacity to serve forecasted
increases in traffic volumes. The City may choose to re‐stripe either or both roads and re‐phase
the signal at the intersection to meet mobility and safety objectives; however, neither action
depends on the acquisition of additional right‐of‐way.
1 SR 104 is a Highway of Statewide Significance and has a LOS E standard per WSDOT guidelines.

How should bicycles and pedestrians be accommodated?
Bicycles
Bicycle facilities are not envisioned along SR 104, but other parallel and connecting bike routes
are included within the comprehensive transportation plan.
Bicycle lanes on 100th Avenue W are likely to become part of the city’s long‐range plan.
100th Avenue W is an important non‐motorized north/south link between the cities of Shoreline
and Edmonds. As discussed above, the team examined a potential road diet on 100th Avenue W.
This would convert the existing 4‐lanes into a 3‐lane configuration plus bike lanes. This layout is
projected to function acceptably for traffic and provide for a continuous bicycle lane through
the Westgate area.
As indicated in the Tovar memorandum, bicycles could be accommodated on private property
pursuant to proposed amendments to the draft Westgate Mixed Use (WMU) zoning district.
These enhancements would tie in well with the bicycle treatments along 100th Avenue W.
Pedestrians
Pedestrians need to have a safe and pleasant environment along SR 104 and 100th Avenue W,
crossing those streets, and internally within private properties. As summarized by Tovar,
pedestrians would benefit by having wider sidewalks along SR 104 and 100th Avenue W along
with the installation of highly visible crosswalk panels and/or pavement at the intersection of
SR 104/100th Avenue W2. This intersection will provide the primary pedestrian connections
among the Westgate quadrants.
2 The Tovar memorandum provides details regarding the use of urban design treatments to improve the
pedestrian experience in Westgate.
Packet Page 264 of 320
Bertrand Hauss

Page 6 of 7
A possible midblock pedestrian crossing of 100th Avenue W connecting the entrances of the QFC
and PCC was also considered. The midblock crossing appears to be physically and operationally
feasible, but requires additional analysis and coordination with property owners. This crossing
could also serve as a traffic calming and safety device along 100th Avenue W because the nearby
driveways could be reconfigured to provide right‐in/right‐out movements.
How should property access and internal circulation be considered?
The Westgate area is bisected into four quadrants by SR 104 and 100th Avenue W. Vehicular
access is provided at each quadrant by a variety of driveways, serving a mix of individual and
grouped properties. The northeast quadrant has been recently redeveloped, with upgraded
access points along SR 104 and 100th Avenue W. The other quadrants provide a mix of access
points, some of which pose safety and circulation problems.
Tovar’s memorandum encourages consolidation of driveways within each quadrant and provide
maximum internal circulation between properties. This will reduce in and out driving on the
arterials and encourage one‐stop parking. Tovar describes specific access treatments within
each quadrant3. One access treatment to improve safety is the designation of right‐in/right‐out
movements at selected driveways. Tovar’s memorandum identifies some specific locations
where these restrictions may be considered. To address staff and resident concerns about
vehicles ‘darting’ across SR 104 and 100th Avenue W at driveways, a detailed access
management plan for this area could be developed. This plan could serve to enhance aesthetics
through landscaped medians, safety through directing vehicles to turn at predictable and
controlled locations, and accessibility through new and enhanced pedestrian crossing. Vehicular
3 Tovar Memorandum: Property vehicular access within Westgate should be controlled with
additional WMU zoning district access management standards. These standards would essentially:
(a) “freeze” the driveway locations on SR 104 east of 100th Ave. W. ;(b) eliminate or consolidate the
existing driveways on 100th Ave W. (particularly the QFC and Bartell quadrants) and: (c) eliminate or
consolidated the driveways on SR 104 west of 100th Ave W. Flexibility in the specific location and
dimensions of driveways should be administered through the Code’s review process of future site
plan/building permit applications.

connections between quadrants take place through the SR 104/100th Avenue W intersection.
Some midblock vehicle crossings of 100th Avenue W take place, notably between PCC and QFC.
These movements are problematic, especially during peak periods. There are no reasonable
options to provide additional signalized vehicular crossings between quadrants, but there may
be opportunities for midblock pedestrian crossings. As described above, safe and efficient
pedestrian connections between QFC and PCC would reduce the need for people to drive
between the two sites.
The signal at the SR 104/100th Avenue W intersection provides full pedestrian crosswalks and
signalization, although crossing these roadways is not always a pleasant experience.
Implementing wider sidewalks and urban design features at this intersection will encourage
more pedestrian connections among the four Westgate quadrants.

DATE: January 26, 2015
SUBJ: Recommendations re Westgate portion of the SR 104 Corridor Study
I. Executive Summary
In the fall of 2014, the City Council began its review of the Planning Board recommendation to
adopt a new Chapter 16.110 entitled – Westgate Mixed Use District (WMU). At a series of
study meetings, the Council considered amendments to the WMU, but decided to postpone a
final decision on the proposed code until several questions about the Westgate area could be
answered by the pending SR 104 Complete Streets Corridor Analysis. To assist the Council’s
deliberations, the consulting team was asked to provide analysis on several key questions.
A. Key Questions
1. What are the long-term street lane and width requirements on SR 104 and 100th Avenue West
through Westgate?
2. What should the WMU code say about building setback requirements along these two
roadways?
3. How should bicycles and pedestrians be accommodated?
4. What other amendments to the WMU could be adopted to highlight Westgate as a walkable,
sustainable, mixed use District?
5. How should property access and internal circulation be considered?
6. What is the appropriate parking standard for commercial uses in the Westgate district?
B. Conclusions and Recommendations
1. Both SR 104 and 100th Avenue West have sufficient capacity to serve forecasted increases in
traffic volumes up to 2035. More detailed technical information is in the Fehr and Peers
Tech Memo (Fehr and Peers Memo).
2. Bicycle facilities (e.g., bike racks or lockers) s could be accommodated in redevelopment
plans on private property pursuant to proposed amendments to the draft WMU zoning
district. The addition of bike lanes in 100th Ave W. would do the most to enhance Westgate
as a multi-modal transportation district. These could be accommodated within existing
right-of-way by extending the three-lane section with bicycle lanes that now exists on Firdale
Avenue north to Westgate. The reconfiguration of 100th Avenue to accommodate bicycles
can be accomplished with a “road diet” which maintains acceptable levels of traffic flow
Memorandum

through the intersections of SR 104/100th Ave W. and 100th Ave W./SW 238th St.. See Fehr
and Peers Memo.
3. Pedestrians will be accommodated by the 8’ wide sidewalks and adjacent 5’ wide amenity
space in SR 104 and 100th Ave. W. The sidewalk area should be widened at the corners of
the intersection by modifications to the WMU standards to increase building setbacks from
the 12’ default to 15’.
4. Additional pedestrian accommodation in Westgate could be achieved by two capital
improvement projects that should be coordinated with adjacent site plan improvements: (1)
installation of highly visible crosswalk panels or pavement at the intersection of SR 104/100th
Ave. W., similar to the improvements made on SR 99 in Shoreline; and (2) creation of a mid-
block pedestrian crossing in 100th Ave. W. to provide a direct connection between the
entrances of the QFC and PCC.
5. Internal vehicular and pedestrian circulation should meet the materials and dimensional
standards for “Internal Circulation Drives” set forth in the WMU at 22.110.050. It is
recommended that this section be supplemented with a map that indicates where on each
block face the end points of each segment of the Internal Circulation Drive must meet the
public right of way. See Fig. 17.
6. Property vehicular access within Westgate should be controlled with additional WMU zoning
district access management standards. These standards would essentially: (a) “freeze” the
driveway locations on SR 104 east of 100th Ave. W.; (b) eliminate or consolidate the existing
driveways on 100th Ave W. (particularly the QFC and Bartell quadrants) and: (c) eliminate or
consolidate the driveways on SR 104 west of 100th Ave W. Flexibility in the specific
location and dimensions of driveways should be administered through the Code’s review
process of future site plan/building permit applications.
7. The required building setbacks along both SR 104 and 100th Ave. W should be 12’, provided
that within 40’ of the intersection corners the setback should increase to 15’. This additional
setback would help accommodate the greater amount of pedestrian, transit and bicycle traffic
that will concentrate approaching the crosswalks of the intersections.
8. The visual images and impressions of the “view from the road” convey a powerful message
about a district’s identity and sense of place. The two major places to shape these
impressions for Westgate are: (a) at the gateways into the district; and (b) at the epicenter of
the district, which in this case is the intersection of SR 104 and 100th Ave W.
(a) The “Edmonds Welcomes you to Westgate” sign that was erected during the City’s
centennial in 1990 was recently removed. It was located not at the entry to the district,
but rather well within it, adjacent to the new Walgreens. A better location for a new
district gateway sign would be further east on SR 104, closer to 95th Ave W. It would
also help to move the 35 mph speed limit sign even further east, in order to help slow
down westbound motorists before they enter the Westgate mixed use district.
(b) The WMU zoning district should amend the corner requirements for the four properties
at the intersection. Strong, structural vertical elements will read best from the
perspective of the motorists and take up relatively little horizontal space between the
Packet Page 268 of 320
3
building and the curb. Trellis, pergola or arbor treatments could incorporate signage,
sculptural motifs, and banners. Such prominent visual landmarks would be a relatively
small cost to projects on these corners, but collectively create a strong visual image for
Westgate. See Figures 10 through 16.
9. Although further work on other parts of the SR 104 corridor will continue into the spring,
the information in this memo and the Fehr and Peers Memo answers the transportation,
parking and land use questions regarding Westgate. No further work on the SR 104
Corridor Study is necessary to support the Westgate conclusions in these two Memos.
II. Background
Edmonds is a city of commercial districts and residential neighborhoods. Some districts are
relatively large, such as Downtown Edmonds and the SR 99 commercial corridor. Others are
smaller, such as Firdale, Five Corners and Westgate. While commercial districts share some
objectives, circumstances and characteristics (e.g., location on arterials and typically a mix of
commercial uses), each is also somewhat unique. Some, such as the Downtown, already have
multifamily residential incorporated into the land use pattern while others, such as the SR 99
corridor and Westgate, may add residential as part of the use mix.
Providing housing choices in commercial districts, in the form of mixed-use buildings and/or
mixed-use projects, responds to an emerging market - Baby Boomers and Millennials. These
two cohorts combined are the majority of today’s U.S. population – and many have strong
interest in housing choices other than the traditional detached single-family home. They would
be attracted to housing opportunities in mixed-use districts with good access to transit, bicycle
and walkway facilities, grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, banks, and other goods and
services nearby. The Westgate District presently has many of these amenities.
As a state highway, SR 104 will continue to play an important role linking the regional transit
system and road network to Downtown Edmonds, the WSF Terminal, and the Amtrak/Sounder
station. The Washington State Department of Transportation recognizes that many segments of
the state highway system serve multiple functions – not just as parts of the regional mobility
system – but also as “Main Streets” for many communities in the urban area.
To evaluate potential code amendments and/or physical projects that would advance the City’s
objectives, it helps to begin with an understanding of Westgate’s fundamental urban design
structure and character. The following urban design terms have been used to describe the
constituent parts of urban structure:
• Districts are geographic sections of the city with some shared and identifying character.
Always identifiable from the inside, districts frequently have distinct boundaries or edges
and are traversed by paths.
• Edges are the linear elements that separate districts, such as a shoreline, railroad tracks,
freeways, or steep slopes.
• Paths are the channels along which an observer moves. They may be streets, walkways, bike
lanes, or transit lines. People observe the city while moving through it, and along these
paths the other environmental elements are perceived, arranged and related.
• Nodes are concentrations of uses or activities, often at the convergence of several paths, and
frequently serving as destinations within a district.
Packet Page 269 of 320
4
• Gateways are the points or places along paths that serve as the entrance to a district.
• Landmarks are another type of point-reference, but an observer does not enter them – they
are external. They are physical objects: a distinctive building, sign, or prominent natural
feature, e.g., a very large tree or hill. While some landmarks have deliberate symbolic
meaning, e.g., a large statue, many landmarks are simply clear and vivid objects in the
environment that provide the viewer with a sense of place and orientation.
Applying this methodology to Westgate (see Figure 1) it is a District, similar to other Edmonds
districts in some ways, but distinct in other ways. Westgate is accessed and traversed by two
major Paths (SR 104/100th Ave. W), and bordered on the north and south by strong topographic
and forested Edges. The Gateways into Westgate are not now marked with public signage, but
generally occur along Paths where there is a distinct shift in land use. This is most clear on
100th Ave W, less so on SR 104. Finally, there are a series of land use/activity Nodes within the
district, usually sharing localized circulation and parking areas. The largest and most prominent
Node in Westgate consists of the four quadrants of the intersection of SR 104 and 100th Ave. W.
Unlike many urban districts and nodes, Westgate lacks prominent and vivid landmarks. The old
“Robin Hood Lanes” sign was a prominent local landmark due to its size, shape and character.
While a lot of commercial signage remains in Westgate, it serves localized functions identifying
individual businesses, rather than an entire district or node. The four star symbols in Fig. 1
indicate a potential rather than an existing set of landmarks. This location, at the convergence of
two major Paths, linking the four quadrants of the area’s major activity Node, is a major urban
design opportunity to provide orientation, identity, and a strong sense of Westgate as a place.

III. Questions and Analysis
1. What are the long-term street lane and width requirements on SR 104 and 100th
Avenue West through Westgate?
The Fehr and Peers Memo evaluates current and forecasted traffic volumes, speeds and
movements on SR 104 and 100th Ave W. It concludes in relevant part:
“WSDOT sees SR 104 as a ‘Main Street Roadway’ that has a multimodal focus. Traffic
forecasts and analysis show no additional through lanes or turning lanes are needed. Traffic
volumes will increase along 100th Avenue W., but the traffic can be accommodated with the
existing lane configuration. No additional right-of-way along 100th Avenue W. is needed to
provide for traffic flow and the wider sidewalk/planter requirements.”
2. How should bicycles and pedestrians be accommodated?
The WMU should be amended to adopt a standard for bicycle racks to be provided in both
residential and commercial new developments at Westgate. The wide sidewalks required as a
standard for both SR 104 and 100th Ave W. will be sufficient to provide for safe and attractive
pedestrian movement along the block faces. An increased setback of 15’ from the property line
near the corners of the intersection will provide additional room for both pedestrian movement
and amenities such as lighting standards, bollards, and street trees.
The consulting team has evaluated the opportunities for adding bicycle lanes to 100th Ave W. It
would be possible to add lanes within the existing rights-of-way by restriping and making minor
improvements (e.g., islands and tapers). See Figs. 2 and 3.

3. What should the WMU code say about building setback requirements along these two
roadways?
The draft Code for the Westgate District departs from the conventions of traditional zoning, such
as the default 20’ front yard setback. By reducing the setback to 12 feet adjacent to SR 104 and
100th Ave W., the proposed Code brings the building facade closer to the street. This conveys
that the space between the building frontage and the curb is a place for people on foot or bicycle,
as opposed to automobiles.
The 12-foot setback (in combination with the 8 foot sidewalk in the right of way) provides
sufficient width to accommodate safe and comfortable pedestrian movement along the block
face, as well as room for benches, landscaping, tables, etc. Pushing the building face further
back, as the 20’ setback would do, doesn’t add much to the qualitative value of this frontage.
Packet Page 272 of 320

Rather, it forces more of the “amenity” and “open space” away from the site interior, reducing
the chance to maximize amenities throughout the site.
Another negative consequence of the 20-foot setback is to lessen redevelopment potential by
reducing the gross floor area achievable. The scale of this impact is hard to quantify – what can
be said is that it does less to encourage redevelopment than the 12 foot setback.
The portions of sites within 40’ of the intersection have an additional and somewhat different
role than the rest of the frontage. To accommodate the greater amount of pedestrian foot and
bicycle traffic (at the confluence of two crosswalks) as well as the likely entryways into the
buildings, a larger setback, such as 15 feet, would be appropriate. These observations are
summarized for the SW Quadrant in the matrix below.

4. What amendments to the WMU could be adopted to highlight Westgate as a walkable,
sustainable, mixed use District?
Existing conditions at the intersection of SR 104/100th Ave W. are illustrated in Figures 5

In September of 2014, City staff drafted for Council’s consideration an additional amendment to
Section 22.110.070 – Amenity Space, Open Space, and Green Factor Standards. The new
paragraph D, titled SR-104/100th Avenue Intersection, focused on the private properties that
immediately abut this intersection and proposed language to address the types of improvements
that would be appropriate.
Using that September draft language as a basis, I recommend the following revisions, shown
with underlining and strikethroughs as follows:
D. SR-104 / 100th Avenue Intersection.
1. The design objectives for configuration of development, amenity space, open space,
and landscaping landscape construction features at this key intersection is intended are to
provide a sense of place and convey the walkable and sustainable character of serve as a
signal of arrival at the Westgate District area.
2. Building step-backs, pedestrian oriented facades and amenities are required for the
portions of buildings within forty feet of the corner at each quadrant of this intersection.
3. The design objectives required setback areas at this intersection shall be designed to
use addressed with a combination of landscaping, building façade treatments, public
signage and amenity features (e.g. water features, art work, bollards, benches, pedestrian
scale lighting, arbors, greenwalls, arcades). to signify the intersection’s importance as a
focal point of the Westgate area.
Paragraph 1 sets forth the City’s design objectives for the Westgate District : (1) to provide a
sense of place and identity for Westgate and (2) to convey the desired walkable and sustainable
character of the District. As the epicenter of Westgate, these four quadrants and the intersection
itself play important functional and symbolic roles. The creation of distinct and memorable
visual landmarks at these four corners can be achieved with landscape construction amenities, as
discussed below. These are improvements that could be placed on the façade of new structures
at the corners of the intersection, or freestanding in the open spaces between the building façade
and the curb.
Paragraph 2 specifies building placement, the details of building facades, and the furnishings to
be placed in the public spaces between the buildings and the curb.
Paragraph 3 identifies a menu of physical improvements and amenities that developers would be
required to design and install. Below are examples of possible building facade treatments and
landscape construction amenities. The specific details of a proposed design would be reviewed
and approved through the City’s Design Review Process. Once a “unifying theme,” for
example, a public sign or solar-powered light standard, is determined with the first development
subject to this standard, it would inform appropriate facade treatments and landscape
construction amenities as redevelopment occurs on the other three corners.
Figures 10 through 15 are examples of potential “landscape construction amenities” that could be
incorporated into the corner designs at this key intersection. It is recommended that these
figures be included in the Westgate Code to give potential developers and their designers a clear
idea of the type of furnishings that the City may require for these key public spaces.

An element like a pergola or arbor can also provide a location to display civic banners, public
signage or lighting standards. If a major district gateway improvement is made, for example, at
the easternmost entry into the Westgate District, it would be logical to coordinate design
materials, fonts or other details with any such landmark improvements made at the intersection
corners. One example might look like this:
Fig. 16 Potential vertical gateway/landmark feature
Many districts, nodes, and centers have utilized landscape construction amenities of this sort to
provide orientation, convey character and provide local identity. See Attachment A for an
example of how a similar treatment was done at the Crossroads District in Bellevue. The
Bellevue example utilized low masonry walls with inset tile work on all four corners, with a
more elaborate arbor and landscaping on the Northeast corner (by the Bank of America).
5. How should property access and internal circulation be handled?
Access management to properties in Westgate will be important for safe and efficient travel
within and between the four quadrants. The number, location and permitted turning movements
into and out of driveways on 100th Ave W. and SR 104 should be controlled by the Westgate
Packet Page 277 of 320
12
Access Management Master Plan (AMMP) See Figure 17. As permits are processed for
properties in the WMU, existing driveways may be required to be relocated, reconfigured or
eliminated to achieve the City’s access management objectives.
Internal circulation within the four quadrants will also be controlled by the AMMP. Internal
circulation drives will be subject to the dimensions and features specified at 22.110.050, and
shall connect with the driveways as identified or modified in the AMMP. The specific
placement of the internal circulation drives will be evaluated and approved as part of the design
review process for permit applications within the WMU zone.

6. What is the appropriate parking standard for commercial uses in the Westgate
district?
As previously noted, Westgate shares some attributes with Downtown Edmonds and the SR 99
corridor, such as access by a state highway, transit availability and a mix of commercial activities. It
is noteworthy that, compared to most other districts in Edmonds, Westgate is a very walkable district.
The national Walk Score methodology measures how many daily errands can be accomplished on
foot, based on the availability and proximity of typical destinations to residences. See Fig. 18.

A major premise of the proposed innovative approach to mixed-use zoning is to tailor regulations to
recognize a district’s unique circumstances, attributes and objectives. In recognition of Westgate’s
high walkability, access to transit, and potential for bicycle access, the Planning Board recommended
that the WMU zone have a blended parking ratio of 1 stall for each 500 sq. ft. of commercial floor
area. In view of Westgate’s existing and emerging multi-modal character, this appears to be a
reasonable parking standard.
It has been suggested that perhaps a ratio of 1 stall per 400 sq. ft. would be appropriate, since that
ratio was considered for Edmonds’ SR 99 corridor. However, as noted in Figure 18, the Westgate
District is a more walkable area than the SR 99 corridor. The land use pattern of the SR 99 corridor
includes very large parcels with great parcel depth back from the state highway. While the SR 99
corridor does have some uses that would be assets for a mixed-use neighborhood, such as grocery
stores and restaurants, they are interspersed with institutional and auto-oriented uses (health care
offices, auto sales and service). The overall large lot pattern means that walking distances are
greater. In contrast, the parcels at Westgate are much smaller and most of the mix of uses (e.g.,
grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants) are within a much more walkable distance.

Given that development and redevelopment at Westgate will occur over a number of years, there is
little risk in adopting the 1 stall per 500 square feet of commercial floor area. If experience
warrants, it would be a relatively simple matter for the City to amend the WMU parking ratio.

Questions to Reflect City Council Discussion on SR-104 Analysis for Westgate Area
The following questions reflect key questions and discussion from the March 10, 2015
presentation to the City Council regarding what has been learned from the SR-104 analysis for
the Westgate area. (Note: Answers to these questions are specific to the Westgate area and
may not necessarily apply to the entire SR-104 corridor.)
What time period and level of growth does the SR 104 traffic analysis cover?
The time period covered is through year 2035. This includes the future development Westgate
(based on the current draft zoning ordinance), underlying slow growth in the overall
transportation system, and some additional impacts from development at Point Wells.
How many average daily vehicle trips occur on SR-104 and how many are forecast
for the future?
21,000 in 2015
25,000 in 2035
Does the traffic analysis show a need for more traffic lanes on SR- 104?
No. Additional lanes are not needed to provide adequate traffic flow. With existing lanes,
traffic patterns by 2035 can still meet the City’s adopted level of service standards.
Does the state Department of Transportation foresee the need for a “deceleration
lane” or any additional traffic lanes on SR-104?
No. Representatives of the state Department of Transportation have participated in the SR 104
advisory committee and have been clear that no additional lanes are needed on SR 104.
What is the current level of service for SR 104 at 100th ? How is that likely to
change with projected growth?
Level of service is measured in the seconds or minutes of delay at an intersection.
The current average delay at the intersection of SR 104 and 100th is about 26 seconds
during the PM Peak-hour.
With future growth through 2035—including Westgate growth and other growth in the
vicinity—the average intersection delay is projected to rise to 41 seconds.
How much public right of way does the SR 104 corridor have?
The SR 104 right of way is 80 feet. (Note: In a couple small areas, the actual right of way may
be about one foot less. An exact survey is not needed until major new construction, either
public or private, is being planned.)
2
How accurate is the right of way information we have now?
Based on the City of Edmonds GIS map, the right of way information is very accurate. (Also
see last question.)
What is the recommended sidewalk width for SR 104?
The study recommends a sidewalk width that encompasses a typical 5-foot amenity/buffer area
next to the curb for street trees, etc., and an 8-foot paved walkway next to that, for a total
pedestrian area width of 13 feet. (This recommendation is consistent with the proposed
Westgate zoning ordinance.) For the first 40 feet from the intersection, the amenity/buffer area
would not be “softscaped”, resulting in a paved sidewalk 13 feet wide in this area.
Would all of this sidewalk width on SR 104 occur within the existing right of way?
No. About 3 feet of the paved sidewalk would be on private property outside the existing right
of way. The part of the sidewalk that would be built on private property would have a
dedicated easement required as a condition of development.
What should be the building setback from the property line? How far would the
building be from the curb?
The recommended minimum setback is 12 feet from the property line (excluding at the
intersection area, where it would be greater, as stated below). That means the building would
be at least 22 feet from the curb. That is because the property line starts at the back 3 feet of
the future sidewalk and the building setback is measured from there. (See attached street
section.)
What different setback should apply at the intersection corners of SR 104 and 100th?
The study recommends that the minimum setbacks should be 15 feet at the intersection
corners, rather than the 12 feet recommended for other parts of the corridor. A 15-foot
setback a means any actual building would be at least 25 feet from the curb. (This setback
recommendation is 3 feet greater than in the proposed Westgate zoning ordinance.) This also
allows each corner to have a total of 12 feet of private property –beyond the sidewalk—devoted
to public landscape or art features. (See attached street section.)
Are bike lanes recommended for SR-104? What are the alternatives?
No, the study does not recommend bike lanes on SR-104 because of the volume of traffic and
prevailing speeds. Having bike lanes next to highway traffic is not a generally recommended
practice.
One alternative to consider is adding a physically protected bikeway. However, this would
require the acquisition of new right of way and the construction of additional pavement and
safety features. The cost would be many millions of dollars. (Note: A bicycle lane is not very
useful unless it extends an adequate contiguous distance.) For example, for the 2-mile stretch
on SR 104 between Westgate and the Interurban Trail, about $5 million would be needed just
to purchase property for the bike lanes. This does not include the greater amount that would
be needed to construct a physically protected, paved, two-way bike corridor.
3
The study’s recommendation is to accommodate bicycles on alternate routes, namely parallel
bike routes on 220th and 244th. (See attached map.)
What would it cost to purchase right of way for new bike lanes on SR 104? Is a
grant likely to be awarded for purchasing right of way?
Sometimes grants are available to help with the construction of sidewalks and bikeways.
However, grants generally only cover a portion of the design and construction costs.
Furthermore, grants are rarely available for purchasing long stretches of right of way to
accommodate bicyclists.
Should or could bike lanes be installed on 100th? What are the implications? What
are the alternatives?
Bike lanes could be installed on 100th. The most cost-efficient way to do this is to reduce the
number of existing travel lanes. This would mean reducing the current four lanes to three
lanes, with the middle lane being a two-way left-turn lane; the additional “freed-up” area would
allow a bike lane on each side. (Additional elements, such as “candlesticks,” could be added—
but they are not commonly provided on roadways with similar traffic volumes and speed and
they are problematic in areas with numerous driveways requiring access to the street.)
The implication of this approach (adding a bike lane on each side by reducing 4 motor vehicles
lanes to 3) is that traffic flow would be somewhat slowed, especially at the intersection.
An alternative is to add “sharrows” and/or bicycle signage on 100th to indicate it is a bike route.
Another alternative is to purchase additional right of way to create bike lanes; this would be an
expensive option and therefore is not recommended.
Whether or not Westgate zoning is changed, options for accommodating bikes on 100th can be
further studied. Note: Nothing about Westgate development particularly triggers the need for
bike lanes. While adding bike lanes is desirable, it has trade-offs.
Besides wider sidewalks, what pedestrian improvements should be considered?
Other pedestrian improvements to consider include:
Crosswalk at 100th –north of the intersection with SR 104, increasing pedestrian
accessibility between the QFC and PCC sites
More lighting along walkways
Textured materials at existing crossings that would be more noticeable and aesthetically
pleasing
ADA ramps, consistent with new federal standards
What did the study recommend about on-site parking and what was the rationale?
The study recommended a ratio of 1 vehicle parking space to every 500 square feet of
commercial space. The rationale for this—in very summary fashion—is that this ratio is similar
to what some other cities have required for active commercial/mixed-use nodes AND because,
the area is considered very walkable, where many businesses are close together. [Note: The
above ratio does not include the residential parking that would be required for any residential
units in the area. Residential parking would be in addition to the commercial parking.]
4
What should be done about access management?
Future developments at Westgate and in other locations along the corridor will provide
opportunities for driveway consolidations, thereby limiting the number of access points and
improving their geometry, function, visibility, and safety. The City needs to work with property
owners to educate them about the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of planning these
improvements jointly and in advance of any single development. (Note: More detailed
information was provided in the SR 104 study’s technical memos, which were part of the March
10 meeting packet.)
How does the SR-104 Complete Streets Corridor Analysis relate to proposed
Westgate zoning?
The SR-104 study was requested by the City Council in part to address key issues associated
with the Westgate zoning proposal (especially regarding traffic levels, bike and pedestrian
access, access management, and building setbacks) and in part to address multi-modal
transportation issues associated with the entire corridor. The SR 104 study provides
information and recommendations, based on the expertise of transportation professionals.
Whether or how to implement the study’s findings is ultimately a City Council decision.
Meanwhile, the study has provided answers to the questions that were requested in association
with the proposed Westgate zoning.

Subject Title
Discussion on Draft Culture & Urban Design Element - Comprehensive Plan Update
Recommendation
Discuss and provide feedback on the current draft element.
Previous Council Action
The City Council held a public hearing on the draft element on March 17th.
Narrative
This element is a part of the 2015 Update of the Edmonds Comprehensive Plan. This is an opportunity for
the Council to discuss the current draft of the draft Community Culture & Urban Design Element of the
Comprehensive Plan and provide feedback and comments or questions to the Planning Board. The main
changes to the element involve improvements to the narrative and an attempt to consolidate all
design-related goals and policies rather than having them spread throughout the plan (e.g. downtown
design material was previously in the Land Use Element, but has now been moved into the Urban Design
section). The current Planning Board draft of the element is contained in Exhibit 1, with a version
showing all edits in Exhibit 2. Planning Board minutes are contained in Exhibit 3.
BACKGROUND
The Comprehensive Plan is being updated to meet the state deadline of mid-2015. The main focus is
refreshing data and "cleaning up" or simplifying information, as appropriate. Each element is being
considered sequentially, but no proposed changes will be final until the whole draft Comprehensive
Plan--with all updated elements--can be considered this summer.
NEXT STEPS
- March 24: Study session to address City Council questions and to further discuss and comment on this
element
- Ongoing work to update other Comprehensive Plan elements (now through June 2015 or thereabouts)
- Consideration of the whole draft Comprehensive Plan in public hearings by the Planning Board and City
Council (June 2015)

Community Culture and Urban Design Element
Community Culture
General. Edmonds is one of the oldest settlements in the southwest county area. It lies within
territory once attributed to the Snohomish, Suquamish and Snoqualmie tribes, all of whom spoke
Coast Salish languages. Later explorations were made by both British and Americans. Certain
geographical areas and sites within Edmonds have special significance because of historical,
archeological, architectural, recreational, social, cultural and scenic importance. Contemporary
Edmonds has a reputation as an arts community with strong local organizations supporting visual,
performing and literary arts.
The citizens of Edmonds recognize the historic significance of culture, environment, arts, beauty, and
recreation in our geographic area. A number of professional, non-profit, and volunteer organizations
exist to ensure that these combined elements remain a vital part of the community’s heritage and
quality of life.
Cultural facilities in the City of Edmonds can be divided into three categories:
• Those funded, supported and maintained by private groups and organizations such as the
Edmonds Theater, the Phoenix Theatre, and the various art galleries and art-related
businesses in town;
• Facilities operated and maintained in public/private partnership such as the Historical
Museum, the Wade James Theatre, and ArtWorks at Old Public Works; and,
• Public facilities such as Sno-Isle Regional Library, the Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA),
and the Frances Anderson Community Cultural Center.
Outdoor public gathering spaces include:
• Specific parks and sites such as the Hazel Miller Plaza, Edmonds Library Plaza, Frances
Anderson Center amphitheater and the City Park Pavilion, and
• Corridors such as the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor.
Outdoor gathering spaces provide venues for performing, visual and literary events and opportunities
for inclusion of public art. The 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor Plan (2009) was developed to enhance
Edmonds’ reputation as a cultural destination and stimulate economic activity in the downtown
through redevelopment of the public right of way to encourage pedestrian flow between the Edmonds
Center for the Arts and downtown retail. The plan includes art elements in a curbless roadway design
as well as incorporation of public art and interpretive elements highlighting local history along the
corridor (see Appendix ##).
The City has a current Community Cultural Plan (2014), adopted by reference as a part of the
Comprehensive Plan, which provides the vision, goals and implementation strategies for the cultural
development of the community. The Community Cultural Plan points to incorporation of public art
116 Community Culture and Urban Design
and quality design to increase public use and enjoyment of public facilities, spaces, and gateways to
the community.
Historic preservation is an important facet of community culture. The City has an inventory of
various historic buildings and sites. The Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission has been
established to promote historic preservation in the community and encourage owners of historically
significant properties to voluntarily add them to the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. The
Commission partners with other arts and historical organizations, such as the Edmonds South
Snohomish County Historical Society and Museum, in pursuing its mission.
The Community Culture component of the Comprehensive Plan has five goals emphasizing historic,
recreational, social, cultural facilities, and scenic values. Each goal is listed below and followed by
specific policies.
Community Culture Goal A. Encourage the identification, maintenance and preservation of
historical sites in accordance with the following policies:
A.1 Continue to support an historic preservation program to identify and preserve the
city’s historic architectural, archeological and cultural resources for future
generations to study and enjoy.
A.2 Work with other public agencies and the local historical society to determine
priorities and incentives for identifying and preserving historic sites. Incentives
encouraging the adaptive use of historic buildings should be integrated into City
codes and development standards.
A.3 Continue to maintain and expand its inventory of historic sites.
A.4 Use a variety of means to promote public awareness and recognition of the value of
historic resources, especially those listed on the City’s Register of Historic Places.
Look for opportunities to partner with other historical, cultural, or arts
organizations to jointly promote the City’s historic and cultural resources.
A.5 Additions or alterations to significant architectural buildings should conform to the
style and period of the initial construction as much as possible. Development of
adjacent properties should be encouraged to be sympathetic to listed historic sites
by acknowledging and including historic forms, materials, and architectural details
in their design.
A.6 Encourage the adoption of incentives and flexible standards to promote the
adaptive use and restoration of historic properties.
A.7 Maintain a strategic plan to help guide the priorities and activities of the Edmonds
Historic Preservation Commission.
Community Culture Goal B. Encourage recreational opportunities.
B.1 Encourage public access to significant recreational areas and development of
pedestrian friendly connections between areas.
Community Culture and Urban Design 117
B.2 Significant recreational areas would include, but not be limited to: Puget Sound
Shorelines, Lake Ballinger, Edmonds Marsh, Yost Park, Lund's Gulch, etc.
B.3 Compatible land uses should be made of surrounding areas.
B.4 Promote public awareness and recognition of the value of these resources.
Community Culture Goal C. Identify and maintain significant public and private social areas.
C.1 Compatible land uses should be made of surrounding lands including potential for
incorporation of public art elements.
C.2 Pursue public and private funding for such social areas such as: Senior Center,
Frances Anderson Center, Edmonds Center for the Arts, Edmonds Museum, Wade
James Theatre, Maplewood Rock and Gem Club House, and public plazas.
Community Culture Goal D. Identify, maintain and develop cultural facilities – both public and
private – in a wide variety of areas, including drama, dance, music, visual arts, literary arts, theaters,
museums, and library.
D.1 Encourage compatible land uses surrounding cultural sites including potential for
incorporation of public art elements.
D.2 Pursue public and private funding to develop and operate cultural facilities.
D.3 Cultural sites would include, but not be limited to: the Wade James Theatre, the
Edmonds Center for the Arts, Frances Anderson Center and amphitheater,

118 Community Culture and Urban Design
Urban Design
General. The man-made environment is an expression of human culture and reflects, in physical
form, the social values of the members of the community. The manner in which the man-made
elements are integrated into the natural environment helps create the community’s special
characteristics and contribute to the quality of life in Edmonds.
The beauty and variety of the natural surroundings in Edmonds and the historical development of the
City have combined to create an interesting and visually attractive community.
However, unsightly development – of poor quality or design – does exist in the City.. Aging
buildings in some parts of the City can create an aesthetic problem if they are not maintained.
Retaining historic buildings can positively reinforce the character of an area such as downtown. The
strip type of development along Highway 99 has often resulted in economic underdevelopment of
private properties that end up being aesthetically displeasing.
Although utility wires are placed underground where new development takes place, overhead wires
still exist in most of the older parts of the City where they interfere with views and create visual
blight.
Commercial signs contribute to the color and variety of community life as well as providing an
important function but they may also create discordant and unsightly conditions where they are
excessive or of poor design.
Street landscaping has been utilized in the past on a limited basis. However, in many areas, parking
lots, access roads, streets and buildings can be better integrated with the landscape.
Design Goals and Objectives. The general design objectives provided with this goal are intended to
provide general guidance, while the subsequent design objectives (Goals B, C and D) for specific
locations or situations are intended to supplement the general objectives and add more guidance for
those specific situations.
General Design Goal A. Design goals and objectives are intended to provide a set of tools for the
City to use to guide future development to result in high quality, well-designed, and sensitive projects
that reflect the values of the citizens of Edmonds. The goals and related objectives contained in this
section are intended to:
• improve the physical appearance and character of Edmonds,
• improve retail and pedestrian circulation options,
• improve business opportunities,
• protect natural environments using sustainable design practices,
• protect and enhance the residential character of Edmonds.
Design Objectives for Site Design. The development of parking lots, pedestrian
walkways and landscaping features is an integral part of how a building interacts with its
site and its surrounding environment. Good design and site planning improves access by
pedestrians, bicycles and automobiles, minimizes potential negative impacts to adjacent
Community Culture and Urban Design 119
development, reinforces the character and activities within a district and builds a more
cohesive and coherent physical environment.
A.1 Vehicular Access. Reduce the numbers and width of driveways (curb cuts) in order
to improve pedestrian, bicycle and auto safety.
A.2 Layout of Parking. Locating buildings in proximity to the street to facilitate direct
pedestrian access and help define the street edge. Parking should be placed to the
side and rear.
A.3 Connections On- and Offsite. Design site access and circulation within and
between sites to encourage linkages for pedestrians, vehicles, and bicycles. Special
attention should be paid to providing and improving connections to transit.
A.4 Building Entry Location. Building entries should be configured to provide clear
entry points to buildings, be oriented to pedestrian walkways/pathways, and
support the overall intent of the streetscape environment. Space at the entry for
gathering or seating is desirable for residential or mixed use buildings.
A.5 Setbacks. Create and maintain the landscape and site characteristics of each
neighborhood area and provide a common street frontage tieing each site to its
neighbor. Setbacks should be appropriate to the desired streetscape, providing for
transition areas between public streets and private building entries where a variety
of activities and amenities can occur.
A.6 Open Space. For residential settings, create green spaces to enhance the visual
attributes of the development and provide places for interaction, play, seating, and
other activities.
A.7 Building/Site Identity. Improve pedestrian access and way-finding by providing
variety in building forms, colors, materials and individuality of buildings.
A.8 Weather Protection. Provide covered walkways and entries for pedestrian weather
protection.
A.9 Lighting. Provide adequate and appropriate illumination in all areas used by
automobiles, bicycles and pedestrians – including building entries, walkways,
parking areas, circulation areas and other open spaces – to support activity and
security.
A.10 Signage. Encourage signage that provides clear information and direction for
properties and businesses while preventing the streetscape from becoming
cluttered. Encourage the use of graphics and symbols in signage to support the
city’s emphasis on uniqueness and the arts.
A.11 Site Utilities, Storage, Trash and Mechanical Systems. Minimize the noise, odor
and visual impacts of utility systems using such features as landscaping, building
forms, or integrated design.
120 Community Culture and Urban Design
A.12 Integrating Site Features. Integrate natural landscape features and unique landforms
– such as rocky outcroppings or significant trees – into site design whenever
possible.
A.13 Landscape Buffers. Use landscaping and/or other features such as fences to
maintain privacy and create a visual barrier between incompatible uses. These
buffering techniques should also be used to soften hard edges (such as the
perimeters of parking lots) and reinforce pedestrian ways and circulation routes.
Native plants and rain gardens should be promoted as alternatives to lawns and
runoff retention areas.
Design Objectives for Building Form. Building height and modulation guidelines are
essential to create diversity in building forms, minimize shadows cast by taller buildings
upon the pedestrian areas and to ensure compliance with policies in the city’s
Comprehensive Plan. Protecting views from public parks and building entries as well as
street views to the mountains and Puget Sound are an important part of Edmonds
character and urban form.
A.14 Building Form. Encourage new construction to avoid repetitive, monotonous
building forms.
A.15 Massing. Reduce the apparent bulk and mass of buildings by encouraging human
scale elements in building design and/or by subdividing building masses vertically
or horizontally.
A.16 Roof Modulation. Use roof forms to help identify different programs or functional
areas within the building and support differentiation of building form and massing.
Roof design, in combination with wall modulation, can allow for additional light to
enter buildings or pedestrian spaces.
A.17 Wall Modulation. Variation in materials, decorative elements, or other features
should be employed to support pedestrian scale environments and streetscapes, or
to help break up large building masses to keep in scale with the surrounding
environment.
Design Objectives for Building Façade. Building facade objectives ensure that the
exterior of a building – the portion of a building that defines the character and visual
appearance of a place – is of high quality and demonstrates the strong sense of place and
integrity valued by the residents of the City of Edmonds.
A.18 Building Façade Design. Encourage building façades that reinforce the appearance
and consistency of streetscape patterns while supporting diversity and identity in
building design.
A.19 Window Variety and Articulation. Use window size and placement to help define
the scale and character of the building. Use the organization and combinations of
window types to reinforce the streetscape character or to provide variation in a
façade, as well as provide light and air to the building interior.
Community Culture and Urban Design 121
A.20 Variation in Facade Materials. Employ variation in materials, colors or design
elements on building façades to help define the scale and style of the structure.
Variation in façade materials can help reduce the apparent bulk of larger buildings
while allowing variety and individuality of building design.
Urban Design Goals and Objectives for Specific Areas. In addition to the general design goal and
objectives described above under Goal A, supplemental design objectives are outlined below for
specific areas or districts within the city.
Urban Design Goal B: Downtown/Waterfront Activity Center. Design objectives and standards
should be carefully crafted for the Downtown/Waterfront Activity Center to encourage its unique
design character and important place-making status within the city.
B.1 Vehicular Access and Parking. Driveways and curb cuts should be minimized to
assure a consistent and safe streetscape for pedestrians. When alleys are present,
these should be the preferred method of providing vehicular access to a property
and should be used unless there is no reasonable alternative available.
Configuration of parking should support a “park and walk” policy that provides
adequate parking while minimizing impacts on the pedestrian streetscape.
B.2 Pedestrian Access and Connections. Improve pedestrian access
from the street by locating buildings close to the street and
sidewalks, and defining the street edge. Cross walks at key
intersections should be accentuated by the use of special
materials, signage or paving treatments. Transit access and
waiting areas should be provided where appropriate.
B.3 Building Entry Location. Commercial building entries should
be easily recognizable and oriented to the pedestrian
streetscape by being located at sidewalk grade.
B.4 Building Setbacks. Create a common street frontage view with enough repetition to
tie each site to its neighbor. Encourage the
creation of public spaces to enhance the
visual attributes of the development and
encourage outdoor interaction. In the
Waterfront area west of the railroad, buildings
should be set back from the waterfront to
preserve and provide a buffer from existing
beach areas. In the Waterfront area, site
layout should be coordinated with existing
buildings and proposed improvements to
provide views of the water, open spaces, and easy pedestrian access to the beach.
B.5 Building/Site Identity. In the downtown area, retain a connection with the scale and
character of downtown through the use of similar materials, proportions, forms,
masses or building elements. Encourage new construction to use design elements
tied to historic forms or patterns.
122 Community Culture and Urban Design
B.6 Weather Protection. Provide a
covered walkway for pedestrians
traveling along public sidewalks or
walkways.
B.7 Signage. Lighting of signs should be indirect or minimally
backlit to display lettering and symbols or graphic design
instead of broadly lighting the face of the sign. Signage
using graphics or symbols or that contributes to the historic
character of a building should be encouraged.
B.8 Art and Public Spaces. Public art and amenities such as mini
parks, flower baskets, street furniture, etc., should be
provided as a normal part of the public streetscape. Whenever possible, these
elements should be continued in the portion of the private streetscape that adjoins
the public streetscape. In the 4th Avenue Arts Corridor, art should be a common
element of building design, with greater design flexibility provided when art is
made a central feature of the design.
B.9 Building Height. Create and preserve a human scale for downtown buildings.
Building frontages along downtown streetscapes should be pedestrian in scale.
B.10 Massing. Large building masses should be subdivided or softened using design
elements that emphasize the human scale of the streetscape. Building façades
should respect and echo historic patterns along downtown pedestrian streets.
B.11 Building Façade. Provide a human scale streetscape, breaking up long façades into
defined forms that continue a pattern of individual and distinct tenant spaces in
commercial and mixed use areas. Avoid blank, monotonous and imposing building
facades using design elements that add detail and emphasize the
different levels of the building (e.g. the top or cornice vs. the
pedestrian level or building base).
B.12 Window Variety and Articulation. In the downtown retail and
mixed commercial districts, building storefronts should be
dominated by clear, transparent glass windows that allow and
encourage pedestrians to walk past and look into the
commercial space. Decorative trim and surrounds should be
encouraged to add interest and variety. Upper floors of
buildings should use windows as part of the overall design to encourage rhythm
and accents in the façade.
Urban Design Goal C: Highway 99 Corridor. Additional Design Objectives for the Highway 99
Corridor should support its function as a locus of commercial and potential mixed use activity,
building on the availability of multiple forms of transportation and its proximate location to
surrounding neighborhoods.
Community Culture and Urban Design 123
C.1 General Appearance and Identity. Design of buildings and spaces along Highway
99 should encourage a feeling of identity associated with different sections of the
highway.
C.2 Site Design. Site design should allow for vechicular access and parking as well as
safe access and circulation for pedestrians. Whenever possible, sites should provide
connections between adjacent businesses and between businesses and nearby
residential neighborhoods.
C.3 Landscaping and Buffering. Landscaping, fencing or other appropriate techniques
should be used to soften the street front of sites and also used to buffer more
intensive uses from adjoining less intensive use areas (e.g. buffer commercial from
residential development).
Urban Design Goal D: Neighborhood Commercial Areas. Design in neighborhood commercial
areas should seek to support the function of the neighborhood center while paying close attention to
its place within the neighborhood setting.
D.1 Landscape and Buffering. Special attention should be paid to transitions from
commercial development to surrounding residential areas, using landscaping and/or
gradations in building scale to provide compatible development.
Streetscape and Street Trees
General. “Streetscape” is a term that refers to the street environment, often including pedestrian features,
landscaping, lighting, pavement materials, and signage. The streetscape plays an important role in the
livability and character of Edmonds. Public streets, with their associated walkways and pedestrian spaces,
provide the places for people to interact with their neighbors, accommodate public events and commerce,
promote human needs for enjoyment and exercise, and can improve the ecological function of the city.
When designed properly, the streetscape complements the urban design elements incorporated into the
development of private property.
A Streetscape Plan was developed in 2002 by the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department
and updated in 2006. It focused on the public realm along streets, certain areas of the City such as the 4th
Avenue Arts Corridor, Highway 99 International area, and downtown.
In 2011, the City adopted a ‘Complete Streets’ program that prioritizes accommodating the needs of all
users – including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit and individual vehicles – in transportation projects. The
intent is to create safe environments for people of all ages and abilities while improving transportation
options and connections between the City’s destinations and centers of activity. A complete streets
approach can improve the ability of residents and visitors to experience the City in a variety of ways
while improving environmental quality, enhancing economic activity, and promoting healthy lifestyle.
Where feasible, street trees or other landscaping located between the travel lane and the sidewalk can
improve the pedestrian experience.
This section has a key goal and several policies specifically related to streetscape and street trees within
the public right of way.
124 Community Culture and Urban Design
Goals and Policies
Streetscape and Street Trees Goal A. Enhance the public realm through streetscape and street tree
choices.
A.1. Encourage inprovments to streets that link parks, open spaces, recreation centers,
employment centers, and transportation nodes.
A.2. Balance the need for short-term parking for shoppers and loading for businesses
with the need for pedestrian-oriented design, especially downtown.
A.3. As opportunities arise, provide for sustainable streetscapes that can enhance the
natural environment, help ensure safety, and complement the characteristics of
the neighborhood or district in which they are located.
A.4. Promote the planting and maintainence of landscaping and street trees to enhance
City gateways and connections; strengthen the character and identify of
downtown and other retail/commercial centers; and improve the pedestrian
environment.
A.5. Seek to maintain and retain existing healthy trees in the rights-of-way without
sacrificing public safety or public infrastructure or encouraging a hazard or
nuisance.
A.6. Selecting trees for planting in the public rights-of-way should be based on a
variety of factors, such as aesthetics, safety, maintainence, size, spacing,
longevity, location, utilities, habitat compatibility, and other appropriate factors.
Implementation Actions
Implementation actions are steps that are intended to be taken within a specified timeframe to
address high priority Streetscape and Street Tree goals. The actions identified here are
specifically called out as being important, but are not intended to be the only actions or measures
that may be used by the City.
Action 1: Develop an update to the Street Tree Plan by the end of 2016.
Action 2: Develop an Urban Forest Management Plan by the end of 2017.
170 Community Culture and Urban Design
Community Culture and Urban Design Element
Community Culture
General. Edmonds is one of the oldest settlements in the southwest county area. It lies within
territory once attributed to the Snohomish, Suquamish and Snoqualmie tribes, all of whom spoke
Coast Salish languages. Native Americans made occasional use of the beach areas and lLater
explorations were made by both British and Americans. Certain geographical areas and sites within
Edmonds have special significance because of historical, archeological, architectural, recreational,
social, cultural and scenic importance. Contemporary Edmonds has a reputation as an arts community
with strong local organizations supporting visual, performing and literary arts.
The citizens of Edmonds recognize the historic significance of culture, environment, arts, beauty, and
recreation in our geographic area. A number of professional, non-profit, and volunteer organizations
exist to ensure that these combined elements remain a vital part of the community’s heritage and
quality of life.
Cultural facilities in the City of Edmonds can be divided into two three categories:
• Those funded, supported and maintained by private groups and organizations such as Wade
James Theatrethe Edmonds Theater, the Phoenix Theatre, and the various art galleries and
art-related businesses in town;, and
• Facilities operated and maintained in public/private partnership such as the Historical
Museum, the Wade James Theatre, and ArtWorks at Old Public Works; and,
Public facilities such as Sno-Isle Regional Library, the Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA), the
Historical Museum, and the Frances Anderson Community Cultural Center, etc.
•
Outdoor public gathering spaces include:
• Specific parks and sites such as the Hazel Miller Plaza, Edmonds Library Plaza, Frances
Anderson Center amphitheater and the City Park Pavilion, and
• Corridors such as the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor.
Outdoor gathering spaces provide venues for performing, visual and literary events and
opportunities for inclusion of public art. The 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor Plan (2009) was
developed to enhance Edmonds’ reputation as a cultural destination and stimulate economic activity
in the downtown through redevelopment of the public right of way to encourage pedestrian flow
between the Edmonds Center for the Arts and downtown retail. The plan includes art elements in a
curbless roadway design as well as incorporation of public art and interpretive elements highlighting
local history along the corridor (see Appendix ##).
Community Culture and Urban Design 171
M. Because of community emphasis on both the performing and visual arts, community housing for
such events becomes increasingly important to the citizens of Edmonds. The City has completed a a
current Community Cultural Plan (2014), adopted by reference as a part of the Comprehensive Plan,
which provides the vision, goals and implementation strategies for the cultural development of the
community. The Community Cultural Plan points to incorporation of public art and quality design to
increase public use and enjoyment of public facilities, spaces, and gateways to the community.
Goal - Historical
Historic preservation is an important facet of community culture. The City has an inventory of
various historic buildings and sites. The Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission has been
established to promote historic preservation in the community and encourage owners of historically
significant properties to voluntarily add them to the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. The
Commission partners with other arts and historical organizations, such as the Edmonds South
Snohomish County Historical Society and Museum, in pursuing its mission.
The Community Culture component of the Comprehensive Plan has five goals emphasizing
historic, recreational, social, cultural facilities, and scenic values. Each goal is listed below and
followed by specific policies.
N. Community Culture Goal A.. Encourage the identification, maintenance and preservation of
historical sites in accordance with the following policies:
N.1. A.1 The City should cContinue to support an historic preservation program to
identify and preserve the city’s historic architectural, archeological and cultural
resources for future generations to study and enjoy.
N.2. A.2 The City should wWork with other public agencies and the local
historical society to determine priorities and incentives for identifying and
preserving historic sites. Incentives encouraging the adaptive use of historic
buildings should be integrated into City codes and development standards.
N.3. A.3 The City should cContinue to maintain and expand its inventory of
historic sites.
N.4. A.4 Use a variety of means to Written narratives and visual aids should be
made available for sites listed on the City’s register of historic places to promote
public awareness and recognition of the value of these historic resources, especially
those listed on the City’s Register of Historic Places. Look for opportunities to
partner with other historical, cultural, or arts organizations to jointly promote the
City’s historic and cultural resources. This should also include providing markers
and maps for identifying and promoting these sites as visual and cultural assets
within the community.
N.5. A.5 Additions or alterations to significant architectural buildings should
conform to the style and period of the initial construction as much as possible.
Development of adjacent properties should be encouraged to be sympathetic to
listed historic sites by acknowledging and including historic forms, materials, and
architectural details in their design.
172 Community Culture and Urban Design
N.6. A.6 Conversion/Adaptive Reuse. Part of the direction of the updated plans
and regulations for the Downtown Waterfront area is to provide more flexible
standards that can help businesses move into older buildings and adapt old homes
to commercial or mixed use spaces. An example is the ability of buildings on the
Edmonds Register of Historic Places to get an exception for parking for projects
that retain the historic character of the site. Encourage the adoption of Further
incentives and flexible standards to promote the adaptive use and restoration of
historic properties should be pursued.
O. A.7 The report and recommendations included in ‘A Historic Survey of
Downtown Edmonds’ by BOLA Architecture (February 2005) shall be studied and

A.12 Hide unsightly utility boxes, outdoor storage of equipment, supplies, garbage,
recycling and composting.
Minimize noise and odor.
Minimize visual intrusion.
Minimize need for access/paving to utility areas
Design Objectives for SignificantIntegrating Site Features. Integrate natural landscape
features and unique landforms – such as rocky outcroppings or significant trees –
into site design whenever possible.
A.13 Retain significant landscape features and unique landforms such as rock
outcroppings and significant trees.
Limit potential future negative environmental impacts such as erosion, runoff, landslides,
and removal of vegetation and/or habitats.
Buffer incompatible uses.
Community Culture and Urban Design 179
Integrate buildings into their site by stepping the mass of the building along steep sloping
sites.
Design Objectives for Landscape Buffers. Use landscaping and/or other features such as
fences to maintain privacy and create a visual barrier between incompatible uses.
These buffering techniques should also be used to soften hard edges (such as the
perimeters of parking lots) and reinforce pedestrian ways and circulation routes.
Native plants and rain gardens should be promoted as alternatives to lawns and
runoff retention areas.
Create a visual barrier between different uses.
Maintain privacy of single family residential areas.
Reduce harsh visual impact of parking lots and cars.
Landscape buffers should reinforce pedestrian circulation routes.
Landscape buffers should not be designed or located in a manner that creates an unsafe pedestrian
environment.
Minimize heat gain from paved surfaces.
Provide treatment of runoff from parking lots.
B. Design Objectives for Building Form.
Building height and modulation guidelines are essential to create diversity in building
forms, minimize shadows cast by taller buildings upon the pedestrian areas and to ensure
compliance with policies in the city’s Comprehensive Plan. Protecting views from public
parks and building entries as well as street views to the mountains and Puget Sound are
an important part of Edmonds character and urban form.
A.14 Design Objectives for HeightBuilding Form. Encourage new construction to avoid
repetitive, monotonous building forms.
A.15 Preserve views to mountains and Puget Sound to the west.
Maintain the smaller scale and character of historic Edmonds.
Minimize blockage of light and air to adjacent properties or to the sidewalk area.
Maintain/protect view from public places and streets.
Design Objectives for Massing. Reduce the apparent bulk and mass of buildings by
encouraging human scale elements in building design and/or by subdividing
building masses vertically or horizontally.
A.16 Encourage human scale elements in building design.
Reduce bulk and mass of buildings.
180 Community Culture and Urban Design
Masses may be subdivided vertically or horizontally.
Explore flexible site calculations to eliminate building masses that have one story on one
elevation and four or greater stories on another.
Design Objectives for Roof Modulation. Use roof forms to help identify different
programs or functional areas within the building and support differentiation of
building form and massing. Roof design, in combination with wall modulation, can
allow for additional light to enter buildings or pedestrian spaces.
A.17 To break up the overall massing of the roof.
Create human scale in the building.
Use roof forms to identify different programs or functional areas within the building.
Provide ways for additional light to enter the building.
Design Objectives for Wall Modulation. Variation in materials, decorative elements, or
other features should be employed to support pedestrian scale environments and
streetscapes, or to help break up large building masses to keep in scale with the
surrounding environment.
To let more light and air into the building.
Break up large building mass and scale of a facade.
To avoid stark and imposing building facades.
To create a pedestrian scale appropriate to Edmonds.
C. To become compatible with the surrounding built environment.
D. DDesign Objectives for Building Façade.
Building facade objectives ensure that the exterior of a building – the portion of a
building that defines the character and visual appearance of a place – is of high quality
and demonstrates the strong sense of place and integrity valued by the residents of the
City of Edmonds.
A.18 Design Objectives for Building Façade Design. Encourage building façades that
reinforce the appearance and consistency of streetscape patterns while supporting
diversity and identity in building design.
A.19 Ensure diversity in design.
Reinforce the existing building patterns found in Edmonds.
Improve visual and physical character and quality of Edmonds.
Improve pedestrian environment in retail/commercial areas.
Community Culture and Urban Design 181
Create individual identity of buildings.
Design Objectives for Window Variety Andand Articulation. Use window size and
placement to help define the scale and character of the building. Use the
organization and combinations of window types to reinforce the streetscape
character or to provide variation in a façade, as well as provide light and air to the
building interior.
A.20 Windows help define the scale and character of the building. The organization and
combinations of window types provide variation in a facade as well as provide
light and air to the interior. Small windows are more typically utilitarian in
function, such as bathroom or stairway windows, etc. and can be grouped to
provide more articulation in the facade.
Design Objectives for Variation in Facade Materials. Employ variation in materials,
colors or design elements on building façades to help define the scale and style of
the structure. Variation in façade materials can help reduce the apparent bulk of
larger buildings while allowing variety and individuality of building design.
Urban Design Goals and Objectives for Specific Areas. In addition to the general design goal
and objectives described above under Goal A, supplemental design objectives are outlined below for
specific areas or districts within the city. (note that design objectives for the Downtown Waterfront
Activity Center are contained in the portion of the Land Use Element dealing specifically with that
area).
Urban Design Goal B: Downtown/Waterfront Activity Center. Design objectives and
standards should be carefully crafted for the Downtown/Waterfront Activity Center to encourage its
unique design character and important place-making status within the city.
B.1 Vehicular Access and Parking. Driveways and curb cuts should be
minimized to assure a consistent and safe streetscape for pedestrians. When alleys
are present, these should be the preferred method of providing vehicular access to a
property and should be used unless there is no reasonable alternative available.
Configuration of parking should support a “park and walk” policy that provides
adequate parking while minimizing impacts on the pedestrian
streetscape.
B.2 Pedestrian Access and Connections. Improve
pedestrian access from the street by locating buildings close to
the street and sidewalks, and defining the street edge. Cross
walks at key intersections should be accentuated by the use of
special materials, signage or paving treatments. Transit access
and waiting areas should be provided where appropriate.
B.3 Building Entry Location. Commercial building
entries should be easily recognizable and oriented to the
pedestrian streetscape by being located at sidewalk grade.
B.4 Building Setbacks. Create a common street frontage view with enough
repetition to tie each site to its neighbor.
182 Community Culture and Urban Design
Encourage the creation of public spaces to enhance the visual attributes of the
development and encourage outdoor interaction. In the Waterfront area west of the
railroad, buildings should be set back from the waterfront to preserve and provide a
buffer from existing beach areas. In the Waterfront area, site layout should be
coordinated with existing buildings and proposed improvements to provide views
of the water, open spaces, and easy pedestrian access to the beach.
B.5 Building/Site Identity. In the downtown area, retain a connection with
the scale and character of downtown through the use of similar materials,
proportions, forms, masses or
building elements. Encourage new
construction to use design elements
tied to historic forms or patterns.
B.6 Weather Protection.
Provide a covered walkway for
pedestrians traveling along public
sidewalks or walkways.
B.7 Signage. Lighting of signs should be indirect or
minimally backlit to display lettering and symbols or graphic
design instead of broadly lighting the face of the sign.
Signage using graphics or symbols or that contributes to the
historic character of a building should be encouraged.
B.8 Art and Public Spaces. Public art and amenities
such as mini parks, flower baskets, street furniture, etc.,
should be provided as a normal part of the public streetscape.
Whenever possible, these elements should be continued in the portion of the
private streetscape that adjoins the public streetscape. In the 4th Avenue Arts
Corridor, art should be a common element of building design, with greater design
flexibility provided when art is made a central feature of the design.
B.9 Building Height. Create and preserve a human scale for downtown
buildings. Building frontages along downtown streetscapes should be pedestrian in
scale.
B.10 Massing. Large building masses should be subdivided or softened using
design elements that emphasize the human scale of the streetscape. Building
façades should respect and echo historic patterns along downtown pedestrian
streets.
B.11 Building Façade. Provide a human scale streetscape, breaking up long
façades into defined forms that continue a pattern of individual and distinct tenant
spaces in commercial and mixed use areas. Avoid blank, monotonous and
imposing building facades using design elements that add detail and emphasize the
different levels of the building (e.g. the top or cornice vs. the pedestrian level or
building base).
Community Culture and Urban Design 183
B.12 Window Variety and Articulation. In the downtown
retail and mixed commercial districts, building storefronts
should be dominated by clear, transparent glass windows that
allow and encourage pedestrians to walk past and look into the
commercial space. Decorative trim and surrounds should be
encouraged to add interest and variety. Upper floors of
buildings should use windows as part of the overall design to
encourage rhythm and accents in the façade.
Urban Design Goal C: Highway 99 Corridor. Additional Design Objectives for the Highway 99
Corridor should support its function as a locus of commercial and potential mixed use activity,
building on the availability of multiple forms of transportation and its proximate location to
surrounding neighborhoods.
D.1.a. C.1
D.2. Highway 99
General Appearance and Identity: . Design of buildings and spaces along Highway
99 should encourage a feeling of identity associated with different sections of the
highway.
C.2 Site Design. Site design should allow for vechicular access and parking
as well as safe access and circulation for pedestrians. Whenever possible, sites
should provide connections between adjacent businesses and between businesses
and nearby residential neighborhoods.
C.3 Landscaping and Buffering. Landscaping, fencing or other appropriate
techniques should be used to soften the street front of sites and also used to buffer
more intensive uses from adjoining less intensive use areas (e.g. buffer commercial
from residential development).
Urban Design Goal D: Neighborhood Commercial Areas. Design in neighborhood commercial
areas should seek to support the function of the neighborhood center while paying close attention to
its place within the neighborhood setting.
D.2.a. D.1 Creation of new identity. Development of high intensity nodes.
Better identification of businesses by numbering. Encouragement of
planned business centers and design coordination among neighbors.
Building forms compatible with adjacent uses. Parking areas more clearly
defined to eliminate confusion of driveways, street and parking areas.
Unsightly uses and storage screened by landscaping and fencing.
D.2.b. Signs: Less conflict and confusion among signs. Visible from a
distance at speeds of 35-45 mph. Pole signs no higher than 20' maximum
height. Design approval of signing as a condition of approval for highrise
buildings in "nodes".
D.2.c. Lighting: Oriented away from thoroughfare and residential areas.
184 Community Culture and Urban Design
D.2.d. Landscaping: Use of landscaping berms in and around parking areas and
setbacks to provide a visual screen.
D.3. Neighborhood Shopping Centers
General AppearanceLandscape and Buffering. Special attention should be paid to
transitions from commercial development to surrounding residential areas, using
landscaping and/or gradations in building scale to provide compatible
development.
D.3.a. : Buildings, similar in scale to single-family houses, compact arrangement
of buildings with safe pedestrian walkways.
Streetscape and Street Trees
General. “Streetscape” is a term that refers to the street environment, often including pedestrian features,
landscaping, lighting, pavement materials, and signage. The streetscape plays an important role in the
livability and character of Edmonds. Public streets, with their associated walkways and pedestrian spaces,
provide the places for people to interact with their neighbors, accommodate public events and commerce,
promote human needs for enjoyment and exercise, and can improve the ecological function of the city.
When designed properly, the streetscape complements the urban design elements incorporated into the
development of private property.
A Streetscape Plan was developed in 2002 by the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department
and updated in 2006. It focused on the public realm along streets, certain areas of the City such as the 4th
Avenue Arts Corridor, Highway 99 International area, and downtown.
In 2011, the City adopted a ‘Complete Streets’ program that prioritizes accommodating the needs of all
users – including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit and individual vehicles – in transportation projects. The
intent is to create safe environments for people of all ages and abilities while improving transportation
options and connections between the City’s destinations and centers of activity. A complete streets
approach can improve the ability of residents and visitors to experience the City in a variety of ways
while improving environmental quality, enhancing economic activity, and promoting healthy lifestyle.
Where feasible, street trees or other landscaping located between the travel lane and the sidewalk can
improve the pedestrian experience.
This section has a key goal and several policies specifically related to streetscape and street trees within
the public right of way.
Goals and Policies
Streetscape and Street Trees Goal A. Enhance the public realm through streetscape and street tree
choices.
A.1. Encourage inprovments to streets that link parks, open spaces, recreation centers,
employment centers, and transportation nodes.
Community Culture and Urban Design 185
A.2. Balance the need for short-term parking for shoppers and loading for businesses
with the need for pedestrian-oriented design, especially downtown.
A.3. As opportunities arise, provide for sustainable streetscapes that can enhance the
natural environment, help ensure safety, and complement the characteristics of
the neighborhood or district in which they are located.
A.4. Promote the planting and maintainence of landscaping and street trees to enhance
City gateways and connections; strengthen the character and identify of
downtown and other retail/commercial centers; and improve the pedestrian
environment.
A.5. Seek to maintain and retain existing healthy trees in the rights-of-way without
sacrificing public safety or public infrastructure or encouraging a hazard or
nuisance.
A.6. Selecting trees for planting in the public rights-of-way should be based on a
variety of factors, such as aesthetics, safety, maintainence, size, spacing,
longevity, location, utilities, habitat compatibility, and other appropriate factors.
Implementation Actions
Implementation actions are steps that are intended to be taken within a specified timeframe to
address high priority Streetscape and Street Tree goals. The actions identified here are
specifically called out as being important, but are not intended to be the only actions or measures
that may be used by the City.
Action 1: Develop an update to the Street Tree Plan by the end of 2016.
Action 2: Develop an Urban Forest Management Plan by the end of 2017.
Signs: Use sign concept from downtown.
Lighting: Oriented away from residential areas. Designed for safety rather than advertisement of
uses.
Landscaping: Buffer from street, provide transition from commercial areas to residential areas.
Waterfront Building Design
Buildings should be set back from the waterfront to preserve existing beach areas and provide a
buffer area.
Buildings should be oriented to pedestrians by providing visible activity at the first floor level, using
awnings, windows, etc. Retail uses are encouraged in first floor spaces.
186 Community Culture and Urban Design
Covered parking areas shall screen cars parked inside them from public rights-of-way.
Waterfront Site Design
The site layout should be coordinated with existing buildings and proposed improvements to provide
views of the water, open spaces, and easy pedestrian access to the beach.
The site design should provide adequate separation of vehicles and pedestrians to avoid conflicts.
On-site parking spaces and paved surfaces should be kept to a minimum. Joint use parking
arrangements and in-lieu parking payments are encouraged. Only the absolute minimum number of
parking spaces to accommodate the use(s) should be permitted on-site.
Waterfront Landscaping
Landscaping should be used to soften edges of buildings and parking areas.
Plant species should be selected to endure salt spray, wind, and soil conditions.
Landscaping should not obscure waterfront views.
Landscaping should be used to separate pedestrians and vehicles.
Street Landscaping
The City should establish a program to place utility wires underground in areas of the City where
scenic vistas will be enhanced or the general environment will be improved. Encourage LID's and
arterial conversions.
The areas of the City which are most suitable for street landscaping should be identified and a
program developed to carry out a public landscaping plan.
Street lighting should be designed to provide comfort, security and aesthetic beauty. [Ord. 2527,
1985.]

Planning Board Minutes
February 25, 2015 Page 9
Board Member Rubenkonig asked if the City is required to obtain a permit when removing trees within a right-of-way. Mr.
Lien answered that the right-of-way policy related to trees applies to the City, as well. When removing trees in the rights-of-
way, the City is required to obtain a permit from the Engineering Department and pay a fee.
Board Member Rubenkonig asked where the permit fees go, and Mr. Lien answered that they go into the General Fund.
Board Member Rubenkonig requested additional information about the fee-in-lieu-of program, and Mr. Lien advised that the
program still needs to be established to address issues such as what the funds can be used for.
Relative to the issue of views, Board Member Rubenkonig recalled that she previously served on the Architectural Design
Board for eight years. During that time, it was made clear that protection of views was a private matter that property owners
can take up with their neighbors. It is possible to combine easements, create covenants, etc., but views are a private issue and
not something the City will enforce. Mr. Lien agreed that is still the City’s policy relative to views.
Board Member Stewart asked if the proposed language would prohibit a property owner from clearing a forested lot without
having a development proposal in place. Is there another type of permit that would allow the lot to be cleared? Mr. Lien
answered that the existing code clearly states that properties cannot be cleared for the purpose of preparing them for
development or sale. The City does not generally permit tree removal just because. He said he does know if the proposed
code includes this same language, but the intent is to prevent this type of occurrence. He also noted that the subdivision code
only allows a developer to remove the trees necessary to install the improvements.
Board Member Stewart asked if a property owner could obtain a clearing permit to clear the trees. Mr. Lien answered that
clearing on any property within the City limits would require a permit. Board Member Rubenkonig recalled an earlier
situation on Olympic View Drive where an owner cleared property and sold the trees for lumber. She asked if a property
owner could obtain a Forest Practices Permit from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) that would allow him/her to
harvest all of the trees. Mr. Lien pointed out that the properties in the City of Edmonds are not considered forestlands, so a
Forest Practices Permit would not be required to cut down trees in the City. He pointed out that these permits mandate that
the property cannot be developed for at least six years.
Chair Tibbott observed that, based on the proposal, only a limited number of trees could be removed and a certain number of
trees would have to remain on the lot. Mr. Lien agreed that a property owner would not be allowed to remove trees from a
vacant lot just for the sake of clearing a property, and the land clearing regulations would remain in place after the new code
language is adopted. The City would not allow a property owner to cut down all the trees on a site in preparation for a sale or
other similar situation.
Mr. Lien said he does not foresee situations in the City where property owners will clear cut land for lumber. Board Member
Stewart pointed out where there are four lots in Edmonds that constitute over five acres of land. The property has just been
placed on the market, and the owner has already threatened to log the land for lumber. She asked if this property owner could
circumvent the City’s permit requirement by obtaining a permit from the DNR to clear the property. Mr. Lien said he
worked closely with DNR at his previous job. He explained that there are specific requirements attached to a Forest Practices
Permits. For example, a property owner would be required to replant a property within two years. He agreed to seek
feedback from the DNR and provide additional information to the Board.
Mr. Lien closed by advising that the Board would continue its discussion relative to the Tree Code at a future meeting, at
which time more detailed information would be presented.
DISCUSSION ON DRAFT COMMUNITY CULTURE AND URBAN DESIGN ELEMENT OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Mr. Chave referred the Board to the draft Community Culture and Urban Design Element of the Comprehensive Plan
(Attachments 1 and 2). He explained that the “community culture” portion of the element has some additional language
inserted to clarify its role as a distinct section within the overall chapter. The separate Community Cultural Plan (Attachment
3) would be adopted by reference and provides more detail and elaboration. The “Urban Design” portion of the element now
consolidates all design objectives in the Comprehensive Plan, including some that were previously included in the Land Use
Element.
DRAFT
Planning Board Minutes
February 25, 2015 Page 10
Mr. Chave explained that the goal of the update is to simplify the design objectives into general goal/policy language. He
recalled that, previously, the objectives contained a mixture of policy and code-level detailed language that was inappropriate
for a planning-level document. While simplifying and combining language, staff attempted to maintain the overall policy
direction and make it more clear and concise. For example, duplications and unnecessary verbiage was eliminated.
Mr. Chave specifically referred to the “urban design” portion of the element, which not only contains general design
objectives (Section A) that apply throughout the City, but includes design objectives specifically related to the
Downtown/Waterfront Activity Center (Section B) and Highway 99 Corridor (Section C). He explained that the objectives in
Sections B and C are not intended to stand alone, but would be in addition to the general guidelines in Section A. He
emphasized that the intent of the design objectives is to provide “big picture” policy direction; and the details that implement
the objectives are found in the zoning code. He reminded the Board that they would also review the zoning code in 2015, at
which time the design standards could be “beefed up.”
Vice Chair Lovell recalled that, when reviewing the Land Use Element earlier, the Board discussed that the objectives related
to urban design would be moved to the Community Culture and Urban Design Element. He emphasized that the goal is to
have all of the objectives related to urban design in one location in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Chave explained that the
general design objectives (Section A) came directly from the existing Land Use Element. He noted that there are currently no
design objectives specific to Five Corners, Westgate, Firdale Village, etc. He suggested perhaps there could be an additional
Section D to provide specific objectives relative to neighborhood commercial areas.
Vice Chair Lovell recalled that nearly a year ago, the City Council asked the Planning Board to come up with some design
standards for the BD zones. He asked if these areas would be addressed under Section B of the proposed new language. Mr.
Chave explained that design standards for the BD zones were incorporated into the zoning code but not the Comprehensive
Plan. He reminded the Board that the design objectives in the Comprehensive Plan are intended to provide overall policy
direction, and specific standards to implement the policy direction will be located in the zoning code. Vice Chair Lovell said
it might be helpful to provide a reference in the Comprehensive Plan to the applicable zoning code chapters. Mr. Chave said
perhaps a link could be provided in the electronic version, but he cautioned against adding references to specific code
sections in the Comprehensive Plan because code references will change over time.
Board Member Stewart referred to the general statement (1st Paragraph) in the Community Culture and Urban Design
Element and suggested the language should be much stronger to recognize the first people who occupied the land before it
was settled by Mr. Brackett in the late 1800’s. She referred to Item C.1 the Shoreline Master Program (Title 24.20.070),
which says that, “Wherever practical, shoreline development should recognize former and current use of the City’s shoreline
area for such uses as boatyards, railroads, ferry landings, logging, and industrial sites, and recognize the earlier uses of the
shoreline by Native American cultures.” She said it would behoove the City to make stronger mention of Native American
culture in the Community Culture and Urban Design Element, and noted that the Shoreline Inventory and Characterization
Document provides greater detail. She suggested that an additional sentence be added to the paragraph after the first sentence
to read, “It lies within territory once attributed to the Snohomish, Suquamish and Snoqualmie Tribes, all of whom spoke
Coast Salish languages. These people were skilled fishermen, hunters and plant collectors who set up a winter village or
permanent fishing camp and moved to smaller, more informal settlements at different times of the year to exploit locally
available resources.” She acknowledged that not all of her proposed language needs to be added, but enough to make the
point of celebrating the City’s first people. Board Member Robles agreed that more language is needed in the element to
define who the first people were, but maybe not as much as Board Member Stewart proposed. The Board can lean on this
language in the future as they review the remaining elements of the Comprehensive Plan.
Board Member Robles said he understands that the goals and policies called out in this element of the Comprehensive Plan
are intended to be guidelines, but here is very little language relative to cleanliness and maintenance standards. For instance,
there is nothing about removing moss, washing sidewalks or promoting a greener environment. Because the element exposes
the City’s cultural intent, it would be within scope to also provide more specific goals and policies related to cleanliness and
maintenance of properties in the City. Mr. Chave responded that there are some general code requirements for maintaining
structures, etc, but he would be hesitant to put policies related to the notion of cleanliness in the Comprehensive Plan. Board
Member Robles noted that the proposed language provides guidelines for building entrances and lighting, and he suggested
that it could also provide some guidelines for the general appearance of buildings.

Board Member Rubenkonig asked why the Port of Edmonds and the Civic Center Playfield were not specifically called out
on Page 170 as outdoor public gathering spaces. Mr. Chave explained that the list is not intended to be all inclusive, but
simply provide examples of some of the outdoor public gathering places in Edmonds. He agreed that additional items could
be added as examples, but he cautioned that making a longer list could give the impression that it is all inclusive. Board
Member Rubenkonig said she would like the Port of Edmonds and the Civic Center Playfield to be added to the language
because both locations host quite a few public events.
Board Member Rubenkonig referred to Item A.10 (Signage) on Page 177 and noted that, as per the proposed language,
graphics and symbols in signage would be encouraged. She said she understands that graphics make signs more pleasant to
the viewer, but she asked if signs with symbols and graphics in the windows of businesses would be exempt from the sign
code. Mr. Chave said the sign code identifies standards for how much of a window area can be obstructed, but it is up to
individual property owners to decide what to put in their windows.
Board Member Rubenkonig referenced Item A.18 (Building Façade Design) on Page 180 and asked how a building with two
street facades would be handled. Mr. Chave answered that, as per existing code language, specified treatments would be
required on both street facades.
Board Member Rubenkonig referred to Item A.19 (Widow Variety and Articulation) on Page 180 and asked if the proposed
language is intended to only apply to the building front or would the front design dictate the glazing schedule for the entire
building. Mr. Chave said the draft language is intended to address both streetscape design and façade variation. He noted
that the design guidelines for the downtown go much further to talk about what happens on the street front versus blank
walls, etc. on other sides of the building.
Board Member Stewart suggested that the 3rd Paragraph in the Urban Design Section on Page 173 should be changed to read,
“However, unsightly development of poor quality or design does exist in the City. Aging buildings in some parts of the City,
primarily downtown, can create an aesthetic problem if they are not maintained. Removal or poor restoration of older
historic buildings can alter the character of an area such as downtown. The strip type of development along Highway 99 has
often resulted in economic underdevelopment of private properties that end up being aesthetically displeasing.” She said she
would like the language to be phrased in a positive way to explain how the City can create a more aesthetic environment by
retaining the older buildings and remodeling them appropriately. She suggested the proposed language rather than saying
what has been done in the past has had a negative effect on the ambiance.
Chair Tibbott referred to the last paragraph on Page 173, which has to do with the placement of utility wires underground.
He suggested that this paragraph seems to stand alone and does not direct or suggest a specific policy. Mr. Chave said this
paragraph has been included in the element for a long time, and the City has code standards in place to address underground
and overhead utility wires. He said it would be appropriate to include language in the Comprehensive Plan that indicates the
City’s intent behind the code standards is to underground utility wires when possible.
Chair Tibbott asked if Board Member Stewart’s recommended language would imply that the City should encourage the
preservation of historic buildings when possible. Board Member Stewart said it is not just when possible. When the
character and history of a building is such that it defines an area or block, it should be considered before any take down or
remodel is approved. She suggested the language could be further altered to address her intent. Mr. Chave reminded the
Board that the paragraphs in this section are intended to be descriptive rather than policies. Chair Tibbott said that, rather
than trying to create a policy, the Board is trying to create a broad intention for the urban landscape. Mr. Chave said inserting
the word “historic” as recommended by Board Member Stewart, could help make the intent clearer.
Chair Tibbott said his understanding is that any older building in the City could be demolished and replaced with a new one
unless it is on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. Mr. Chave clarified that even buildings on the Register could be
demolished, but it would require the property owner to go through more hoops.
Vice Chair Lovell observed that some of the existing building stock in the downtown is poor, and this should be pointed out.
However, he agreed with the concept of striving to improve the appearance of the existing buildings in keeping with the
character of the downtown. To whatever extent that evolves similarly to the existing architectural framework makes sense,
DRAFT
Planning Board Minutes
February 25, 2015 Page 12
but some building stock is not worth saving. It should be pointed out that these buildings are not the ideal situation for the
downtown and the goal is to improve the properties. While the language can be made more positive, it must also recognize
the present situation. Board Member Robles said that was the point of his earlier remarks about policies relative to
cleanliness and maintenance. Mr. Chave agreed his earlier comments are in line with the descriptions in this section.
Board Member Stewart referenced the bulleted list on Page 174 and suggested that the 4th Bullet be changed to read, “Protect
natural environments using sustainable design practices.” She explained that readers should have a definition of sustainable
design that explains the philosophy that seeks to maximize the quality of the built environment and minimize or eliminate the
impacts to the natural environment. This definition could be added to the Comprehensive Plan in some form.
Next, Board Member Stewart referred to Item A.2 (Layout of Parking) on Page 174. She agreed that the goal is for parking
to be located at the side and rear of a building, but she questioned if stating so in the Comprehensive Plan would be “putting
the cart before the horse” when certain applicable regulations have not yet been approved by the City Council. Mr. Chave
said this is not a new concept. He recalled that the existing code language relative to Westgate and Highway 99 already state
that parking should be located at the rear or side.
Board Member Stewart referred to Item A.4 (Building Entry Location) on Page 175 and suggested that the words “residential
or mixed use buildings” could be eliminated without changing the intent. Board Member Rubenkonig suggested that rather
than using the word “should,” perhaps the sentence should state that it is “desirable for building entries to be configured to
provide clear entry points. . .” Mr. Chave explained that it is fairly common in multi-family settings to have benches or
sitting areas within the setback. He clarified that the design guidelines would only apply to multi-family and not single-
family residential.
Board Member Stewart referred to Item A.7 (Building/Site Identity) on Page 176 and asked why way finding was included as
an element of site identity. She suggested it would be more appropriately placed in Item A.10 (Signage) on Page 177. Mr.
Chave explained that the notion is that a property owner could use both signs and color combinations on buildings to help
identify an entrance location. For example, buildings on corner lots typically locate the main entrance at the corner. It is also
typical to have something significant to the building in that location to call out the entrance. To clarify the intent of this item,
Vice Chair Lovell suggested that the word “recognition” be inserted after “access.”
Board Member Stewart suggested that Item A.12 (Features) on Page 178 should be changed to read, “Integrate natural
landscape features and unique landforms – such as rocky outcroppings or significant trees – into site design whenever
possible.” She expressed her belief that using the term “natural landscape features” broadens the intent and encourages a
more sustainable approach.
Mr. Chave advised that he would make the changes identified by the Board and bring the element back for further review on
March 11th.
REVIEW OF EXTENDED AGENDA
Chair Tibbott briefly reviewed the extended agenda.
