BOARD MEMBER MAXWELL SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Economic Development Element of the Comprehensive Plan — Joint Discussion with the Economic Development Commission Director Tatum made the presentation regarding the development of the draft Economic Development Element (EDE). The language has been updated to reflect changes in the region, economy, and transportation. He explained how the EDE strives to create an integrated place -based strategy of economic development by growing the economy, placemaking, focusing on quality of life, and governing effectively. There was some discussion about working with specific organizations to find out if their goals are aligned with what the City is trying to do. EDC members reviewed challenges and opportunities such as supporting growth areas, placemaking along the two-mile stretch of Highway 99, cultural displacement, growing the hospital district, and how to craft action -based policies that support the City's values and priorities. Developing partnerships will be important, especially from a financial standpoint to fund investments. Concerns were raised about the disparity between where growth is sited (primarily Highway 99 and south Edmonds) and where resources are sited. Economic Development policies may begin to move the City closer to what they want to see and support a shift in resources. There was a suggestion to pay more attention to the infrastructure needs associated with the anticipated population growth such as looking at treating wastewater closer to where it is created. A member commented that there should be corresponding state and federal infrastructure funding to support the mandates being given to cities. This needs to be addressed with state and federal legislators but given the current budgetary challenges, it does not appear to be something that can be counted on. The group debated how to handle the long stretch of CG zoning along Highway 99. There were comments about utilizing hubs and centers which encompass the area and having very specific, measurable goals that target what they want to see in key areas. Staff spoke to the opportunity to redefine the area through the Comprehensive Plan process and subsequent master planning. A question was raised about how they would prioritize the types of j obs they want see, what kind of development they want to see in hubs and centers, if priorities are different in different parts of the city, and if there are potential conflicts. Staff referred back to the objective of improving economic wellbeing through efforts that entail job creation, job retention, tax -based enhancements, and quality of life. The City wants to increase jobs and has job targets, but the City is not the developer. The market will decide what kind of office space goes where and when it happens. There are things the City can do to influence the market by investing in infrastructure that creates a sense of place and improves access and linkages. The development that would occur from that would bring property and retail taxes, improve quality of life, and improve likelihood that businesses would relocate there. Planning Board Meeting Minutes May 22, 2024 Page 2 of 4 Packet Pg. 5 2.A.a Director McLaughlin spoke to the need for the Comprehensive Plan to be relevant for 20 years. She stressed that zoning needs to be an adaptable resilient tool that enables a flexible economic -based strategy. She also mentioned the new Community Culture and Urban Design Element which involves a neighborhood planning framework to set a vision and create a strategic action plan. This will dictate investment and recognize anticipated impact fees and potential financial tools. It will also enable the City to focus on the types of businesses they want to see and to be flexible when partnership opportunities arise. There was some discussion about potential revenue sources and the relationship between zoning, planning, development, and infrastructure. There were recommendations for a policy goal of having a diversity of revenues so they aren't dependent on property taxes and to balance growth so that it leads to more people both living and working in Edmonds. Members discussed the importance of policies that provide direction and that take the City where they want to go. There should also be language that clearly states that the goal is neighborhoods with specific character. A concern was raised about displacement being the outcome of development. There was some discussion about the importance of the community leading and being involved in neighborhood planning as well as the importance of strategic action resulting from the plans. There was a recommendation for a policy that emphasizes enhancing existing assets. The hubs are currently an asset, but they are not as fully utilized as they could be to generate revenue. The biggest challenge is that what needs to happen for significant growth to actually occur is not what a lot of people want to see. A concern was raised about the City's unbalanced budget and the high costs of the City's capital plan which increases year over year while the tax base remains the same. There needs to be a focus on things that may provide more resiliency or diversity to contribute to the local economy. It was noted that if they want to increase the number of people who live and work in Edmonds, there needs to be consideration for providing community spaces for people who work from home but don't have an office in their apartment. There was some debate about ways to increase streams of revenue with one suggestion to allow higher heights for development on the Unocal property. There was agreement on the need to have more clarity and future direction of what the policies state. There was some debate about whether these are forward -looking enough to hit the economic goals they have and whether the goals complement the growth alternatives. Staff pointed to the upcoming citywide meetings on the elements of the Comprehensive Plan as a way to receive more public feedback on these. There was a recommendation to reconsider the language in Goal A to reflect the desire to diversify jobs and the economy and to show where people who work in manufacturing and service type jobs fit into the picture. It is important that the housing component matches the economic component. PLANNING BOARD EXTENDED AGENDA June 12 —Transportation Element; Green Building Incentives public hearing June 26 - Land use permit timelines introduction; CAO update; Climate Legislative Package The Planning Board requested an earlier touch on the CIP/CFP than they had last year. Staff is working through this but will outline a schedule for the Planning Board. There was discussion about the process and how the Planning Board hopes it will be different this year. Tree Canopy options will be discussed in July. There was a question about whether the Planning Board will have another touch on the DEIS and if so, how. The Landmark item will be going to Council in June. Planning Manager Clugston will send an email about possibly adding an extra meeting to make up for the ones cancelled due to holidays. Planning Board Meeting Minutes May 22, 2024 Page 3 of 4 Packet Pg. 6 2.A.a PLANNING BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS Board Member Li expressed appreciation for the joint conversation they had tonight and the amazing sunset view. Board Member Martini concurred. Vice Chair Golembiewski thought having the joint meetings is very helpful in broadening their thinking. Board Member Hankins thought it would have been helpful for all those working on the various elements to have had a common goal of focusing on growth at the beginning of the Comprehensive Plan update process. He is concerned about conflicting goals between elements. PLANNING BOARD CHAIR COMMENTS Chair Mitchell reported that the ADU presentation to the Council was well received. They got comments back from some councilmembers that they appreciated having the Planning Board at the table.

Planning & Development aims to implement this program as a pilot in 2024. The Planning Board last received an update on and discussed Planning & Development's proposed green building incentives program on April 24t", 2024. Staff initially introduced the topic to the Planning Board briefly on January 10t" and again on February 28t", 2024. Since staffs last engagement with the Planning Board on this topic, staff work focused on finalizing the draft code amendment proposal and considering how the pilot may interact with Edmonds' HB 1337 compliant regulation. Staff Recommendation Staff will provide a brief presentation prior to the Board taking public testimony about the proposed code amendments. After the hearing, staff requests the Planning Board's recommendation regarding the green building incentives pilot to forward to City Council. Narrative The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued its Sixth Assessment Report one year ago. The Synthesis Report Summary for Policymakers <https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/downloads/report/IPCC AR6 SYR SPM.pdf> states "[h]uman activities, principally through emissions of greenhouse gases, have unequivocally caused global warming' and that "[t]here is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a livable and sustainable future for all." To secure this future for Edmonds, the City Council adopted the 2023 Climate Action Plan. Edmonds aims to do its part to restrict the global average temperature increase to no more than +1.5°C by achieving climate neutrality by 2050. Most of Edmonds' local climate pollution stems from our built environment. Over a third of our local climate pollution comes from residences. To achieve the Climate Action Plan's goal of climate neutrality by 2050, immediate, rapid, and deep greenhouse gas emissions reductions are necessary within this decade. Market conditions perpetuate construction and renovation of inefficient buildings in Edmonds. Packet Pg. 8 6.A The lifecycle climate impact of Edmonds' development could be mitigated by incentivizing better construction. Among the strategies designated in the plan is BE-2: "Improve energy efficiency of existing buildings and infrastructure". In pursuit of this strategy, the plan establishes Action BE-2.2: "Create and implement a green building incentive program". Planning & Development staff sought stakeholder input and practitioner knowledge in developing these draft amendments. The City engaged with the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, local developers, and the Mayor's Climate Protection Committee to identify what Edmonds needs to see more sustainable development. Staff attended a green building conference and learned from other local governments' green building programs. Without finalized HB 1337-compliant code, modifying the draft code to address Edmonds' forthcoming accessory dwelling unit regulations is not practical. Appropriate analysis of these interactions will be undertaken after City Council's adoption of HB 1337-compliant regulations, prior to reviewing green building incentive legislation. The following analysis and attached draft code are based on the existing Edmonds Community Development Code at the time of writing. Alternatives Analysis Staff researched best practices, outcomes, and plans for revisions of the leading green building programs both locally and nationwide prior to developing the proposed incentives. The current code includes some green building land use incentives, such as increased building height. The attached proposal works to integrate these lessons into existing code in a manner that would be easily understood by applicants and staff alike. The proposal relies on industry standards and existing precedent in Edmonds' code to offer attractive incentives capable of motivating the desired environmental outcomes.

Staff Recommendation No action is requested. Staff will provide a presentation updating the Board on the status of the tree canopy goal project. Narrative This study will identify a tree canopy cover goal for the City of Edmonds. As previously discussed with the Planning Board and the Tree Board, we paused the 2023 tree code amendments on private property after preliminary analysis indicated that we were going to see tree canopy loss on private property, as a result of legislation. It is critical that new legislation aligns with city goals and polices; whilst the Comprehensive Plan is silent on this issue, the current Urban Forest Management Plan states that we should maintain or enhance tree canopy coverage. The establishment of a citywide tree canopy goal is also a 2024 Climate Action Plan action, as noted in the implementation schedule. This presentation will represent what we have drafted so far and includes work from the consultants, PlanITGeo. The attached summary: 1. Identifies the current tree canopy based on the latest available lidar imagery for the city. 2. Provides four options for canopy goals and what the requirements will be for each. 3. Breaks down the percentage of land area available for each land use. 4. Shows the potential planting area distribution. The urban forest is an invaluable asset for the City of Edmonds, providing residents and visitors with meaningful, quantifiable environmental, social, and economic benefits. In 2024, a tree canopy assessment update was conducted to enhance understanding of the city's canopy infrastructure. This assessment identified urban tree canopy (UTC), potential planting areas (PPA), and areas unsuitable for planting, analyzing their current distribution across the city. These findings will enable the city to refine existing canopy goals, policies, ordinances, and management practices and formulate new ones to protect and expand the tree canopy. There are several key findings: 1. If we keep things "business as usual," there is an approximate loss of 2% per year on private Packet Pg. 23 7.A property. This loss is reduced by the trees that the City plants each year, but over 20 years, it would net an 80 acre loss. 2. With 87.7% of available potential planting area being on single family residential lots, there needs to be a commitment to increase tree canopy on private property. The City does not manage enough physical public space to increase the tree canopy significantly alone. 3. To maintain our current tree canopy, each year the City needs to continue to plant 150 trees and there would need to be about 100 trees planted on private property per year. It needs to be noted that this investment is over 20 years, so it is assumed the City will return to financial stability. The current cost of planting one tree is $500. This number was provided by the Parks Department, and includes the cost of the tree, soil and labor. Below is the breakdown of costs over 20 years for "business as usual" as well as the four options mentioned above: Chosen Goal # of Trees per Year 20 Year Total # of Trees Cost Per Tree Annual Cost 20 Year Total Cost -1% (BAU) 150 2,993 $500 $75,000 $1.5 million +0% (current) 220 4,399 $500 $110,000 $2.2 million +2% (34.4%) 320 6,403 $500 $160,000 $3.2 million +3.6% (36%) 402 8,041 $500 $200,000 $4.0 million +5.6% (38%) 504 10,088 $500 $250,000 $5.0 million Staff will share next steps, including public engagement and how to factor this work into tree code amendments.

He is supportive of these but acknowledged that they have some issues of controversy around them. He would like to see more public engagement on this issue to get public concerns identified and dealt with. He recommended holding some sort of public forum to begin a discussion prior to a formal public hearing. Rick Schafer, Edmonds resident, stormwater professional, stated that there is a lot of coordination that needs to go on between Public Works and the variety of different planning efforts (Comprehensive Plan, Stormwater Management Plan Update, DADUs). He expressed concern about the increased density and impervious surfaces in neighborhoods with DADUs. It is likely they would fall beneath the thresholds for stormwater controls being required on site, but they will still have an impact. He noted they have been hearing about the degradation of streams in the city for years. Increasing unmitigated impervious densities is going to be a problem. ADNWOSTRATIVE REPORTS None PUBLIC HEARINGS None A. Tree Canopy Goal / Legal Aspects of Tree Regulation City Attorney Jeff Taraday made a brief presentation regarding legal aspects of tree regulation including various kinds of "takings". There was some discussion about competing policy priorities that can arise in developing code like the tree code. There were also several questions raised following the discussion. Some questions related to application of the takings law on the preliminary draft tree code that the Planning Board members are working on. A few questions were asked about the nexus between the tree code and future plans for a piece of property, such as downzoning or putting a DADU on a property. Director McLaughlin made a presentation regarding the City of Edmonds Tree Canopy Goals. Edmonds current tree canopy was 34.6% in 2021. Other jurisdictions in the region seem to be consistently using a 38% tree canopy goal. She reviewed three options for Edmonds depending on how ambitious we want to be with an estimated cost of $105,000 per acre of tree canopy over 30 years. Questions were asked related to what has been seen with the tree canopy over time in Edmonds and the schedule for doing the work. • 2.0% increase: 122 acres to reach 36.6% ($12.8m) • 3.4% increase: 207 acres to reach 38% ($21.7m) • 5.4% increase: 330 acres to reach 40% ($34.7m) Jeff Levy explained that the cost per acre includes the total cost of planting an acre of trees including trees, labor, and time. Director McLaughlin explained next steps include re-engaging the 2020 consultants to study possible vegetation areas and run feasibility studies. This would be followed by developing policy to increase Planning Board Meeting Minutes January 24, 2024 Page 2 of 6 Packet Pg. 25 7.A.a tree canopy coverage and promote responsible development, not hindering GMA goals with HB 1337 and HB 1110 developments. B. Accessory Dwelling Unit Code Amendment to allow for Detached Accessory Dwelling Units - "Expanding housing options by easing barriers to the construction and use of accessory dwelling units in accordance with HB 1337." Planner Rose Haas reviewed a summary table of the existing code and the proposed code updates as required by HB 1337. She recapped discussion items from January 10 and the Planning Division's responses. Regarding concerns about the cost of water meters, sewer connections, and utility undergrounding, Planning Division recommends reducing costs for homeowners as much as possible and collaborating with the Public Works Department, Utility Billing, South County Fire, and OVWSD to ensure all requirements are met. Engineering Division Recommendations: • New and extended utilities must be undergrounded. (already in the code) • All units must have unrestricted access to utility control systems. • Only one water service and meter allowed per parcel. • Only one sewer lateral is allowed per parcel. • Upsizing or replacement of existing service lines/laterals may be required. Chair Mitchell asked if there would be a separate power meter. Ms. Haas was not sure about that. She offered to check with Engineering. Ms. Haas explained that OVWSD ADU policies require that ADUs and DADUs must be served by a separate water service line and meter. Shared sewer lateral is not required. Sewer pipe upsizes may be required based on site conditions. Ms. Haas explained that there can be different regulations for the water and sewer districts or the City can synchronize policies with OVWSD. Jeanie McConnell, Engineering Program Manager, referred to Chair Mitchell's earlier question about power and stated that Edmonds doesn't specifically regulate how power is provided to each one of the properties and whether one meter is required or multiple meters are allowed. Snohomish County PUD is the regulatory body on that. She is not sure what their position would be. Edmonds' code would specify that whoever is residing in each of the residences has access to the controls for power systems and any shared utilities. She stated they just recently learned that OVWSD has a policy in place already for ADUs and DADUs. Staff realizes they need to have additional conversations with OVWSD. Ideally it would be convenient to have the same policies but it may not end up that way. Currently, staff s opinion is that they should require shared utility systems for each residential property. This may result in the need to upsize the current water meter, but that is less expensive than adding an additional water meter. Chair Mitchell asked about situations where the existing residence's sewer laterals are clay or concrete pipe. Ms. McConnell explained that currently when there is an addition to a single-family residence like an ADU or a DADU, they do not require that the sewer lateral be reviewed unless there is a known issue. The utility system on site may need to be upgraded depending on what will be joining to that system and how they decide to route the utilities through the site. However, if there are existing clay lines it may be to the owner's benefit to replace them anyway so they don't have a sewer issue with a future resident of one of those units. Planning Board Meeting Minutes January 24, 2024 Page 3 of 6 Packet Pg. 26 I A FORECASTANALYSISOF POSSIBLE PLANTING SCENARIOS The urban forest is an invaluable asset for the City of Edmonds, providing residents and visitors with meaningful, quantifiable environmental, social, and economic benefits. In 2024, a tree canopy assessment was conducted to enhance understanding of the city's canopy infrastructure. This assessment identified urban tree canopy (UTC), potential planting areas (PPA), and areas unsuitable for planting, analysing their current distribution across the city. These findings will enable the city to refine existing canopy goals, policies, ordinances, and management practices and formulate new ones to protect and expand the tree canopy. Building on the assessment results, this summary report aims to assess and communicate the impacts of various planting strategies on Edmonds' future canopy. Five scenarios (outlined in Table 1) were selected to demonstrate potential shifts in Edmonds' canopy cover over a 20-year period, from 2024 to 2044. The outcomes presented for each scenario can serve as guidelines to shape the scale and methods of future planting efforts.

This analysis aimed to understand how different land uses and their primary functions (e.g. residential, commercial, open space, downtown, etc.) influence tree canopy. This approach provides insights for urban planning and environmental management, facilitating targeted strategies for sustainable urban development. The classified land use areas within the city limits sum up to 5,675 acres, with 1,850 acres covered by tree canopy. Areas primarily classified for Single Family Residential purposes comprised over 75% of the city's total land. Not surprisingly, this land use class contained nearly 80%ofall tree cover (1,425 acres) in Edmonds, making it the most significant land use class in terms of canopy coverage. Areas classified as Open Space had the most dense canopy coverage at 70%, contributing 225 acres of canopy. In addition to canopy cover, the Single Family Residential class makes up nearly 90% of the total area available for planting trees (1,529 acres).

On May 2, 2023, Staff and Transpo Group made a presentation on Multimodal Level of Service to the City Council. On March 14, 2023, staff presented the preliminary scope of work and fee with Transpo Group to complete the Transportation Plan Update. On February 13, 2024, staff presented an MMLOS update to the Parks and Public Works Committee. On February 27, 2024, staff presented an MMLOS update to City Council. Staff Recommendation No action is needed from the Board. Transpo Group will provide a presentation with a discussion afterward. Narrative In May 2023, a contract was signed with Transpo Group to update the City's Transportation Plan. The Transportation Plan is a mandatory element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The main objective of this Plan is to identify short and long-range strategies that lead to the development of an integrated multimodal transportation system that facilitates the safe and efficient movement of people and goods while addressing current and future transportation demand and land use. Based on Puget Sound Regional Council's (PSRC) expectations, the multimodal concurrency, and LOS programs that meet GMA requirements and VISION 2050's multi -county planning policies will be included with the following items: 1. Methodology to evaluate LOS for transit, bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles; 2. Adopt LOS standard(s) based on the methodology; 3. Identification of existing and future deficiencies to maintain LOS; and 4. Measures for addressing existing and future deficiencies - to maintain LOS. Since the last Council meeting in February when a MMLOS update was provided, the various options Packet Pg. 30 8.A have been discussed between the project team regarding intersection based, segment based, corridor based, District based, or combined scenarios. Staff recommends following corridor travel time for vehicles and transit along selected corridors and system completeness for active transportation projects. The City's Proposed Draft Pedestrian and Bicycle maps have been completed. The Draft Pedestrian Map identifies all key pedestrian missing links. The Draft Bike map shows roadway segments where specific bike facilities are needed, along with stretches where construction feasibility studies will need to be completed due to existing topography limitations. The next steps in the process will be to develop a list of transportation projects with preliminary cost estimates. The financial portion of the plan with all the project costs will then follow - currently scheduled to be completed this summer. The final plan will be completed by December 2024.
