Packet Pg. 3 7.A Planning Board Agenda Item Meeting Date: 06/26/2024 Comprehensive Plan Housing Element Staff Lead: Navyusha Pentakota Department: Planning & Development Prepared By: Michelle Martin Background/History: Under the Growth Management Act (GMA) in Washington State, Housing and Land Use elements are mandatory and the most extensive elements of the Comprehensive Plan. The Land Use Element is a critical component that shapes the long-term vision of accommodating growth. It ensures that development is strategically planned to accommodate growth while preserving the character and quality of life. The land use element provides the blueprint for future growth by outlining the desired land use patterns and growth intensities through the Future Land Use Map, which will guide future zoning changes. Housing availability and affordability have been the major challenges nationwide. Henceforth, Washington state's Growth Management Act requires that jurisdictions "plan for and accommodate" affordable housing for all economic segments of the population. In addition, the Puget Sound Regional Council's (PSRC) Multi -County Planning Policies (MPPs) and the Snohomish County Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) also require cities to plan and accommodate diverse types of housing addressing the needs of various income levels. Under GMA, the Office of Financial Management (OFM) projects population growth for Snohomish County, which was further distributed to all cities and unincorporated urban growth areas to ensure that the 20-year growth expectations used for GMA local plans are consistent across jurisdictions. The City of Edmonds has an existing housing stock of 19,300 units per the 2020 census. According to the count's distribution of growth, there will be an estimated 28,073 housing units by the year 2044, which is an approximate increase of 9,000 more housing units. Even before the growth targets were assigned, Edmonds was ahead of the state to address the existing affordable housing concerns, and formed the Citizens' Housing Commission (CHC) in 2019, which met monthly through December 2020. The CHC's mission was to "develop, for City Council consideration, diverse housing policy options designed to expand the range of housing (including rental and owned) available in Edmonds - irrespective of age, gender, race, religious affiliation, physical disability, or sexual orientation." Packet Pg. 4 7.A Staff Recommendation: This is an informational briefing and discussion with the Planning Board. Staff will share the approach to updating elements, community's feedback, and draft goals and policies of Housing and Land Use elements within the Comprehensive Plan Narrative: Recent 2023 legislation mandates GMA planning cities to include more "missing middle" housing types and accessory dwelling units, highlighting the need for innovative and affordable housing solutions. Changing housing needs and affordability have become significant concerns, not just for low-income groups but also for working-class people in Edmonds. Edmonds must adopt new strategies to encourage diverse housing options and ensure equitable growth, offering equal opportunities for all residents regardless of socio-economic or cultural backgrounds. The city aims to foster a balanced, equitable, and sustainable housing market that meets the community's varied needs and changing market trends. Edmonds is unique in terms of its historic character and natural beauty compared to the surrounding cities. It is essential to appreciate its identity and incorporate new developments without losing the city's uniqueness. New land -use designations should manage urban sprawl, protect natural resources, and support sustainable development while increasing density through a clear land -use framework. The Growth Alternatives proposed earlier this year aim to create vibrant neighborhoods with suitable and affordable housing for all income levels, enhancing the quality of life and promoting social equity. The Comprehensive Plan goals and policies will further substantiate how the growth will be shaped to address multi -faceted issues, such as aesthetics, safety, economics, placemaking, historic preservation, and environmental protection. The City is committed to transparency in developing goals and policies by engaging the community at various stages. On May 28th and 30th, citywide meetings were held where staff presented the City's approach, draft goals and policies, and gathered public feedback. The community expressed support and constructive feedback about the City's direction. These suggestions were incorporated into the draft goals and policies for further discussion with the Planning Board. During the meeting, staff will discuss the proposed Land Use designations along with the revised draft goals and policies for the Land Use and Housing elements.

Executed the ILA for the $880,000 Snohomish County Conservation Futures grant for the acquisition of the Mee property and preparing to submit for reimbursement. 3.

Civic Park — A retrofit to the "wavy walk" at the playground was necessary to meet playground safety standards and in staff's opinion, is better than the original design. A final "warranty walk" was recently performed by City staff to determine which items are still outstanding and developing reports to share with Contractor. 2. Mathay Ballinger Park — the park improvement permit is still under review for the planned improvements with construction slated for later this year. A prefabricated permanent restroom is scheduled for installation on June 21(including crane placement). The bid for improvement construction is currently out, and is due on June 18, 2024, and that includes ADA accessible asphalt path connecting the parking lot and playground as well as a connection to the Interurban trail, a new park shelter and a total of seven parking spaces. 3. On -Call Tree Contract — We successfully bid and awarded an on -call tree maintenance contract with Washington Tree Experts. This allows us to be more responsive to non -emergency tree and vegetation work without having to bid out the work each time. The contract is for a one-year period. This process took nearly a year due to the city's purchasing policies. 4. Johnson Property — After a successful demolition of the residence and two outbuildings, as well as significant amount of invasive plant material removal, the site was secured with a continuous fence and Packet Pg. 48 8.A.a two access gates. Next steps include park planning process for this property, adjacent to Yost Park, which is tentatively scheduled for 2026. 5. Automated locks for parks restrooms — Installation of automatic locks at Anway Park, Seaview Park, Brackett's North Park, and City Park were installed. These restrooms receive significant vandalism at times and the locks are decreasing the major vandalism damage that typically occurs. 6. Bottle Fillers— New bottle fillers were installed at Brackett's North Park and Yost Park. 7. Mee Property — A hazardous materials report is being drafted as required for the demolition of the house and outbuildings. The property, which abuts Mathay Ballinger Park, will expand the park's total acreage by a third. 8. Court resurfacing — A bid is being prepared for court resurfacing and repair at Hickman and Seaview Parks. Both parks court surfaces are suffering from root intrusion, surface damage, and wear. 9. Pier and Dive Park Buoys — as per US Coast Guard permit, five warning buoys on the boundaries of the dive park and pier need to be replaced (pier) or installed (dive park). Buoys are being ordered and a bid process completed to install them. Park Maintenance 1. Repaired tree damage to Yost bridge #4 railing and decking and re -opened the bridge. 2.

During the first meeting, all related materials will be provided in the meeting packet the week prior, and staff will present the capital programs including project review and details and related funding sources within six -year timeline. During the Public Hearing, staff will only reference the presentation made two weeks prior and be available to answer Planning Board questions. With changes in technology, members of the public can view the September 11th presentation remotely or watch the recorded presentation for two weeks prior to the Public Hearing. 2024 vs 2025 Capital Review With the city transitioning to a biennium operating budget, the years alternating operating budget adoption provide opportunity to review capital budgets in greater depth. Next year, 2025, will provide more time to review and incorporate newly adopted planning documents. These include the two plans scheduled for completion this year, 2024 Transportation Plan and 2024 Comprehensive Plan (including city-wide Facilities), as well as the Storm and Surface Water Plan Update schedule for the first half of 2025. Recommendations from these three significant plans, which will not be completed for this year's capital program review, will be instrumental in developing more current, relevant and accurate 2026-2031 CIP/CFP Plans. Limited Resources Unfortunately, there is very little additional staff time and resources to provide additional presentations on this year's capital program other than what is scheduled. The city is focused on new budget development processes including zero -based budgeting and budget by priorities; transitioning from an annual to biennium budget format; and trying to manage a potential $12M (25%) operating budget shortfall for next year.
