Comprehensive Plan Draft Housing Element
Staff Lead: Navyusha Pentakota
Department: Planning & Development
Preparer: Michelle Martin
Background/History:
Under the Growth Management Act (GMA) in Washington State, local governments are required to
evaluate the density and capacity of urban growth areas (UGAs). The land use element of the
Comprehensive Plan outlines the general distribution, location, and extent of various land uses within
the city, including housing, employment, commercial, industry, recreation, open and green spaces, and
other public facilities. It provides the blueprint for future growth by outlining the desired land use
patterns and growth intensities through the Future Land Use Map. The future land use map is policy-
oriented, that guides future zoning changes.
Per RCW 36.70A.070, the land use element must
• Provide details on population density and building intensities
• Achieve environmental justice and public health equity, including efforts to create or worsen
environmental health disparities
• Consider urban planning approaches that promote physical activity and reduce per capita
vehicle miles traveled within jurisdictions
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• Account for infrastructure needs and green spaces
• Aim to create a balanced, sustainable, and safe environment for all
Edmonds has been allocated population, housing, and employment growth targets through County
Planning Policies. These projections are based on the official 20-year population projections for
Snohomish County from the Office of Financial Management and distributed as represented in Puget
Sound Regional Council’s Vision 2050 Regional Growth Strategy.
The City of Edmonds has a housing stock of 19,005 units per the 2020 census. According to the county’s
distribution of growth, there will be an estimated 28,073 housing units by 2044, an approximate increase
of 9,000 more housing units and 3,058 jobs. Recent 2023 legislation requires GMA planning cities to
include more "missing middle" housing types and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to address growing
concerns about housing needs and affordability. These newly adopted house bills aim to transition the
residential zone character from predominantly single-family to a more diverse range of housing types,
ensuring affordability across income levels.
Together, the land use and housing elements of the Comprehensive Plan must ensure that enough land
is designated to meet the housing needs at different affordability levels, including emergency and
permanent supportive housing for the most vulnerable populations.

The Growth Management Act, PSRC regional growth strategies, Multi-County Planning Policies, and
Snohomish County Policies offer guidance for developing land use and growth patterns that align with
state, regional, and county goals.

Staff Recommendation
No recommendation is needed.
This session is an informational briefing and discussion with the City Council. Planning Board members
will also be present to provide an overview of their previous discussions with staff, how they
collaborated with the staff to discuss the draft goals and policies and how they provided their
recommendations and suggestions for improvements.
Edmonds is unique in 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.
As cities evolve, their comprehensive land use plans must adapt to meet emerging needs and
challenges. Population growth and increasing density require cities to adopt more efficient land use
strategies. New land-use designations should manage urban sprawl, protect natural resources, and
support sustainable development while increasing density through a clear land-use framework. This
includes developing multi-family housing and mixed-use areas that integrate residential, commercial,
and recreational spaces to accommodate a growing urban population while enhancing overall livability.
Transportation and connectivity are also crucial considerations. As cities focus on reducing car
dependency, land use plans are increasingly incorporating walkable and bike-friendly infrastructure.
Integrating public transit systems into land use planning helps create more connected and accessible
urban environments. There is a focus on providing diverse housing options and fostering economic
growth through innovation districts and support for local businesses. The plan also emphasizes
preserving historic character, integrating cultural heritage and involving diverse community voices to
ensure that all groups’ needs are addressed, promoting equitable development that benefits the entire
population.
Considering the above requirements, the city has adopted a neighborhood centers and hubs approach
where designated areas are identified to accommodate growth. These areas focus on enabling mixed-
use, multi-family developments, creating walkable neighborhoods with essential services, community
facilities, and employment opportunities. Goals and policies must be set forth to achieve the overall
vision in promoting growth that is compliance with the state and regional land use vision.
The City is committed to transparency in developing the goals and policies by engaging the community
at various stages. On May 28th and 30th, citywide meetings were held, during which staff presented the
City's approach, drafted 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.
Staff met with the planning board thrice (June 26th, July 10th, and July 24th) to discuss the draft goals and
policies for the Land Use and Housing elements. During the meeting on July 10th, the planning board
2.1
Packet Pg. 3
formed two subcommittees, a Land Use subcommittee, and a Housing subcommittee, to provide
suggestions and comments on the draft goals and policies.
The subcommittees provided comments, which were included in the agenda packet for the meeting on
July 24th. During the meeting, the Planning Board discussed the comments/recommendations provided,
shared their perspectives, highlighted areas needing more focus, and identified opportunities to address
any missing aspects. Attached is the revised Land Use draft document, incorporating all the Planning
Board's comments. A matrix that shows how each of the Planning Board's comment has been addressed
is attached for reference. Additionally, there's another matrix provided as a cheat sheet to help
understand how the existing goals and policies have been combined, modified, or deleted in the
updated draft.
The revised drafts are not final. Changes will be made based on the discussion and feedback provided by
the City Council during this study session. At the end of August, the revised drafts will be published as
part of the draft plan, allowing the public to comment.

Marsh, and the Port of Edmonds) while providing opportunities for
redevelopment and linkage between downtown Edmonds and its
waterfront.

C.1 Utilize the Point Edwards site to its best community and regional
potential by developing a multimodal transit center with compatible
development in the surrounding area. In addition to the regional
benefits arising from its multi modal transportation function, an
essential community benefit is in removing intrusive ferry traffic from
the core area which serves to visually and physically separate
downtown from the waterfront.
Removed all Edmonds Crossing/Pont
Edwards references. Modified polices will be
included in the Transportation Element
C.2 When feasible, establish a Point Edwards multimodal transportation
center which provides convenient transportation connections for
bus, ferry, rail, auto, pedestrians and bicycle riders and makes
Edmonds an integrated node in the regional transportation system.
The new terminal should be planned to reduce negative impacts to
downtown Edmonds – such as grade separation/safety concerns and
conflicts with other regional facilities – while providing the
community with unique transportation resources and an economic
stimulus to the larger community.

D.1 Encourage opportunities for new development and redevelopment
which reinforce Edmonds’ attractive, small town pedestrian oriented
character. Provide incentives to encourage adaptive reuse as an
alternative to redevelopment of historic structures in order to
preserve these resources. These historic structures are a key
component of the small town character of Edmonds and its
economic viability. Height limits that reinforce and require
pedestrian-scale development are an important part of this quality
of life, and should be implemented through zoning regulations and
design guidelines.

Improve access and circulation. Access to businesses for both
pedestrians and automobiles is difficult along major portions of the
corridor. The inability of pedestrians to cross the street and for
automobiles to make safe turns is a critical limitation on enhanced
development of the corridor into a stronger economic area. Better
pedestrian crossings are also needed to support transit use,
especially as Highway 99 becomes the focus of future high capacity
transit initiatives.

following.
Health Care District. Located approximately between SW 208th St.
to SW 220th St., the Health Care District is home to variety of health
care facilities and offices, most notably the Swedish Hospital
Edmonds Campus. The Edmonds campus includes 34 facilities and
services, 217 beds, over 450 physicians and specialists and more
than 1,400 staff members. The hospital provides medical and
surgical services including Level IV Trauma emergency medicine,
diagnostic, treatment and support services. There are many other
medical clinics and offices across Highway 99 in Lynnwood as well
as schools and higher education such as Edmonds Woodway High
School, Mountlake Terrace High School, and Edmonds Community
College, within approximately 1.5 miles from the Health Care

Goal D.
The Westgate Corridor is generally located between the 100th
Avenue W (9th Avenue S)/Edmonds Way intersection and where
Edmonds Way turns north to enter the downtown area. By virtue of
this location, this corridor serves as both a key transportation
corridor and as an entry into the downtown. Long-established
neighborhoods lie near both sides of the corridor. The plan for this
corridor is to recognize its multiple functions by providing
opportunities for small-scale businesses while promoting
compatible development that will not intrude into established
neighborhoods.

D.1 Development within the Westgate Corridor should be designed to
recognize its role as part of an entryway into Edmonds and the
downtown. The overall effect should be a corridor that resembles a
landscaped boulevard and median. The landscaped median along
SR-104 should remain as uninterrupted as possible in order to
promote traffic flow and provide an entry effect.
D.2 Permit uses in planned business areas that are primarily intended to
serve the local neighborhood while not contributing significantly to
traffic congestion.
D.3 Provide for transit and pedestrian access to development.
D.4 Use design review to encourage the shared or joint use of driveways
and access points by development onto SR-104 in order to support
the movement of traffic in a safe and efficient manner. Site access
shall not be provided from residential streets unless there is no
feasible alternative
D.5 Use design review to ensure that development provides a transition
to adjacent residential neighborhoods. For uses in transitional areas
adjacent to single family neighborhoods, use design techniques
such as the modulation of facades, pitched roofs, stepped-down
building heights, multiple buildings, and landscaping to provide
designs compatible with single family development.

Goal E.
The Edmonds Way Corridor consists of portions of Edmonds Way
between the 100th Avenue West intersection and Highway 99. This
corridor serves as a key transportation corridor, and also provides a
key link between Edmonds and Interstate 5. Established residential
areas lie on both sides of the corridor. An established pattern of
multiple family residential development lies along much of the
corridor, while small-scale businesses can be found primarily near
intersections. A major concern is that the more intensive
development that occurs along the corridor should not interfere with
the flow of through traffic or intrude into adjoining established
communities.
E.1 Permit uses in planned multiple family or small-scale business
developments that are designed to minimize contributing
significantly to traffic congestion.
E.2 Provide for transit and pedestrian access to development.
E.3 Use design review to encourage the shared or joint use of driveways
and access points by development onto SR-104 in order to support
the movement of traffic in a safe and efficient manner. Site access
should not be provided from residential streets unless there is no
feasible alternative.
E.4 Use design review to ensure that development provides a transition
to adjacent residential neighborhoods. For uses in transitional areas
adjacent to single family neighborhoods, use design techniques
such as the modulation of facades, pitched roofs, stepped-down
building heights, multiple buildings, and landscaping to provide
designs compatible with single family development. Make use of
natural topography to buffer incompatible development whenever
possible.

Goal F.
Sexually Oriented Businesses are regulated by specific licensing and
operating provisions in the City Code. However, land use and zoning
regulations are also required to mitigate and reduce the adverse
secondary effects of these uses. These secondary effects are
detailed in the findings adopted by Ordinance No. 3117 on October
15, 1996. As commercial uses, sexually oriented businesses should
be limited to areas which can support the traffic and site
requirements of these businesses while also assuring that their
adverse secondary effects are mitigated.

Place based approach shall prevent future corridor dev
Modified - Prioritize civic uses and services near centers and
hubs
Added new policy underneath - New developments shall
consider environmental, economic, social, and human health
impacts.
LU 1.6 revised to say: Implement appropriate zoning regulations
to create opportunities for housing and jobs consistent
with state and regional goals and targets for the planning
period ending in 2044, as shown in Table YY.
Added revised text
Unless a goal or policy is based on a specific asset of a
neighborhood or subarea, apply that goal or policy to all
Edmonds neighborhoods.
For example, either aim to maintain views everywhere in
Edmonds, or drop policies about maintaining views.
Similarly, make open space, pocket parks, trails, gathering
spaces, recreational facilities, and tree canopy policies
apply to all neighborhoods and subareas of Edmonds.

General
Suggestion
Extract policies within specific areas, like Downtown, that
apply to other hubs and centers as well and include them
in the hubs and centers section. Or if they apply to all
areas create a section for that if it doesn’t exist. To that
end, the Goal LU-3 would be better to read: ”Support
downtown Edmonds in its role as a destination for the
entire city and as a regional destination.“ Don’t use
“human scale.” It’s too jargony.
Suggestion has been applied throughout element with
exception of removing term "human scale"; this term will be
called out in the document and defined
Hard to follow, has missing elements, and puts specific
neighborhood goals on the same level as overall City-wide
goals.
Suggest adding a definitions section to explain the terms in
the document
Suggested structure-
1.Growth (comply with State direction)
2.Equity (add infrastructure & public assets equitably)
3.Neighborhoods (LU-9, LU-10, LU-11, & LU-3 “human
scale” as a City-Wide goal)
a.Downtown
b.Creative District
c.Hwy 99
d.Edmonds Way Corridor
e.Hubs and Centers
f.Single-Family/Multi-Family Residential
i.Maintain current neighborhood-specific assets
4.Other Land Uses
a.Commercial
b.Industrial
c.Open Space
d.Waterfront (unless it has a standalone element)
5.Prevent Environmental Degradation
a.Critical Areas
b.Soils & Topography
c.Habitat, Vegetation & Wildlife
6.Human Services
Suggestion for a Policy related to Equity
Promote equity by investing in underserved
neighborhoods where infrastructure and public
resources are currently weaker than they are in other
places(for example, parks, trails, libraries, community
centers, sidewalks, storm water systems, etc.)
This includes not adding more infrastructure and public
assets where they are already plentiful and strong. For
example, not adding more public facilities and resources
to Downtown or the Creative District.
Reformat Structure has been changed per PB's recommendation to -
1. Citywide
2. Neighborhood Centers and Hubs
3. Activity Centers – Downtown, H-99
4. Single Use Areas
a) Residential Neighborhoods
b) Commercial
c ) I n d u s t r i a l
d) Open Space
5. Natural Environment
a) Critical Areas
b) Soils And Topography
c) Habitat, Vegetation, And Wildlife
d) Tree Canopy
This was discussed at the meeting and staff agrees that
capital investments in infrastructure should be prioritized in
areas that have been traditionally underserved. However,
investments in downtown should not be discouraged if they
are achieved through development partnerships, compliance
requirements and/or grants

As we have modified / combined the existing goals & policies ,
where is this specific one now
I believe they meant quality goals under each element.
Revise/ reorganize policies LU-1.1, LU-3.2, LU-5.1.This is again in relation to goal 1.1 , 2.3 discussion
LU 14 Goal of zoning for Sexually Oriented Businesses be
removed if its not a LAW
Removed; the law is met by having it in our code.
Suggestion for a Citywide Goal
Human/pedestrian-scaled and public-transportation-
oriented structures and infrastructure be a goal for all of
Edmonds. Human scaled structures and infrastructure
include walkability, human scaled building heights, ground-
floor pedestrian engagement, mixed use
Include a policy of no new construction in the critical areas
of the waterfront that will be submerged at high tide by sea
level rise by the end of the century, and that the at-risk
areas of the waterfront become a low-infrastructure park,
as was requested by Edmonds citizens in the recent
Waterfront design-input sessions.
Will be addressed in the Waterfront section of goals &
policies
LU 1.2 Conflicts with Edmonds Way Plan for corridor based
design
Agreed; corridor development policy has been revised.
LU 2 Bad grammar
Revise the existing - Need two different policies -
Enable growth , leverage services and amenities in areas
where its appropriate and where there is infrastructure
Enable capital facilities and investments in underserved
areas
The first and second sentences are two separate policies
and may well conflict as it is written. In the first sentence,
perhaps you are meaning to say “Conduct community
input and engagement in the planning and development
process, and consider needs and preferences heard
from the diverse voices in the community.”
The second sentence should be a standalone policy and
should state that not only will analysis be done, but it will
be factored into planning and development processes.
LU 3 Can we make this apply to hubs and centers not just
downtown?
Made it more general
LU 3.2,3.3,3.4 should apply to all centers and hubs otherwise it appears
to prioritize downtown, when other policies say there will
be equity across hubs and centers. There could be a policy
in this section that focuses on government and cultural
facilities that draw residents and visitors to downtown.
Changed
LU 2.4 Community engagement policy will be added as a common
policy for all the elements in the final document.
The later part is policy LU-2.1
Add policies from 2020 - “Quality construction of housing
is important to retain localized heritage and aesthetics”
LU 2.1, 2.2,2.3 How do you reconcile the policy to promote development
in areas with existing infrastructure and also say to invest
in underserved areas?

LU 3.1 The first sentence is narrative that doesn’t belong in a
policy. The policy should read: “Provide incentives and
address systemic challenges to bring historic structures
into the future including seismic retrofits, accessibility,
and code upgrades that encourage adaptive reuse
LU-7.1
Do we have data that says people want paid parking?
The policy would be better to say “Develop a parking plan
that includes parking management strategies that align
with the overall goal of parking in the downtown area.
LU 3.6 No street parking?Curb space management will be addressed as a part of the
transportation element
"Important public views" is weird
- Applicable throughout the city
LU 3.9 This should be in all hubs and centers LU 4.3
LU 4 Can we make this an overarching Goal, not just for
Downtown?
Yes, addressed via policies under Goals 1,2
LU 5.2 Remove Dayton St.Made this a citywide - Activity centers, neighborhood centers
and hubs
should be focused on developing hubs along HWY 99
a goal such as: “Transform the HWY 99 sub area to focus
on three distinct districts that provide nearby communities
with mixed-use, walkable environments with a sense of
place.”
LU 6.2 Why is this just in HWY 99?There is an overall community engagement goal, but this
specifies equitable engagement specifically in H99 area as
most of the marginalized communities are identified in this
area per EEF
LU 6.6, 6.7 should be focused in relation to developing the three hubs
and centers.
Needs special focus along the corridor. Also addressed in the
Transportation Element
LU 6.8 Explicitly require access off SR 104, consistent with 2020
Comp Plan.
LU 9.8
Included in what? Is this a comment?
Why is this only H99
LU 7 Define the districts in the Goal?LU 10
LU 7.1 Isn’t this true for all hubs and centers?yes it is. But this is specific to H-99
LU 8 this should be for the entire city.Community Design element specifies developing
neighborhood action planning framework
LU 8.1 I oppose this policy The emergency ordinance requiring
step backs for buildings provide sufficient transition. No
need to go further. Also, 85’ tall buildings anywhere in the
city are not the right scale for the community.
LU 9.9 Not sure this will fly...developers need to be able to offer
what the market desires
LU 9.10 How can the city require this?Existing practice
LU 6 Achieved through LU-9, LU-10.1, 10.2, 10.3
LU 6.9 (text

LU 10 Please put this in common language. “Activate the ground
plane” and “integrated place-making approach” are terms
the lay person is not familiar with.
Simplified
LU 13 Does this Goal conflict with the Centers/Hubs approach?Deleted
From existing
Comp Plan
Can we pull in D4 and D5 from excising comp plan? Limit
access for commercial businesses to SR104
Added D4, D5 doesn’t apply as we are deviating from corridor
development
