LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
We acknowledge the original inhabitants of this place, the Sdohobsh (Snohomish) people and
their successors the Tulalip Tribes, who since time immemorial have hunted, fished, gathered, and
taken care of these lands. We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we
honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Planning Board Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 10/23/2024
Comprehensive Plan: Transportation, Climate, Preferred Alternative Recommendation
Staff Lead: Navyusha Pentakota
Department: Planning & Development
Prepared By: Navyusha Pentakota
Background/History
Under Washington State's Growth Management Act (GMA), cities and counties must periodically update
their Comprehensive Plans to ensure efficient and sustainable growth. These plans address various
mandatory and optional elements that contribute to the city's development strategy.
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 is forecast to grow by approximately 9,000 housing units and 3,000 jobs by 2044. The City
should plan and accommodate a variety of housing units affordable across a range of income levels per
state requirements.
The Land Use and Housing elements guide long-term growth while preserving Edmonds' character and
quality of life. The Land Use element outlines future growth patterns through the Future Land Use Map,
influencing zoning changes. The Housing element expands housing options, ensuring diverse choices for
both rental and ownership. Together, these elements, supported by others in the plan, aim to ensure
balanced growth and community quality of life.. Other mandatory elements are Transportation, Capital
Facilities, Utilities, Climate (although state deadlines allow the Climate element to be delayed until
2029), and Economic Development. The City's 2022 Parks Public and Open Space plan is also considered
to be an element of the Comprehensive Plan. One optional element is proposed: Culture, History, and
Urban Design.
The Planning Board will also review proposed growth alternatives and select a preferred option to
recommend to the City Council.
Staff Recommendation
The Planning Board is asked to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the preferred
growth alternative. As time allows, the Transportation Element will also be discussed.
Narrative
Edmonds stands out for its historic character and natural beauty, making it vital to maintain its identity
while accommodating new developments. New land-use designations should manage urban sprawl,
protect natural resources, and promote sustainable development while increasing density through a
clear framework.
Preferred Alternative
Under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), regulations require a "no action" alternative and at
Packet Pg. 4
least two reasonable action alternatives that can feasibly achieve the proposal's objectives. These
alternatives must provide enough detailed analysis for a comparative evaluation.
The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) assesses environmental conditions, potential impacts of
different growth alternatives, infrastructure needs, and measures to mitigate significant adverse
environmental impacts.
Three growth alternatives were developed based on community input, exploring where and how growth
could occur. The growth alternatives proposed aim to create vibrant neighborhoods with suitable and
affordable housing for all income levels, enhancing quality of life and promoting social equity.
Depending on the chosen growth alternative, significant changes in future land use designations will be
discussed in the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use element. These alternatives allowed for comparison of
impacts and outcomes, helping to identify the best options that align with community goals. To proceed
further in the planning process, a preferred alternative needs to be chosen.
GROWTH ALTERNATIVE PRINCIPLES
· Equitable distribution of growth with efficient land use
· Development meeting community goals + enhance public realm
· Enhance retail and other commercial businesses for overall economic development
· Diverse and affordable housing types
· Multimodal access with existing transit service
RECAP OF GROWTH ALTERNATIVES
· No Action Alternative: This alternative assumes no changes would be made to future land use
designations and no policy, zoning, or regulation changes. Growth will generally follow current
market trends. This alternative would continue the current 2015 Comprehensive Plan, as
amended in 2020, and current zoning regulations. It would maintain the existing land use
designations without modifications. The No Action Alternative is the baseline condition for
comparison with other alternatives.
· Action Alternatives: Both action alternatives assume minimum compliance with recently
adopted House Bills (HBs) 1110, 1337, and 1220. The concept of Neighborhood Centers and
Neighborhood Hubs would be followed for both action alternatives at different scales to create
housing opportunities, retail, jobs, restaurants and other services, making these areas key nodes
for potential future development.
· Alternative A: Focused Growth: Under this alternative, growth would be focused primarily in
the four proposed Neighborhood Centers while less growth would be encouraged in the
proposed Hub locations. The City aims to promote efficient land use and reduce sprawl and
associated infrastructure costs by concentrating development in the Centers.
· Alternative B: Distributed Growth: Under this alternative, growth would be distributed evenly
across the four Neighborhood Centers and seven proposed Neighborhood Hubs. By dispersing
growth more evenly, the City aims to promote balanced development, improve access to jobs
and services for more neighborhoods, and equitably distribute housing across the City.
These scenarios were adopted by the City Council in April 2024 for the environmental study (attached).
The No-Action alternative does not comply with state legislation, so the preferred alternative would
need to be one of the proposed action alternatives or a combination of elements from both. During the
meeting, staff may provide suggestions regarding potential combinations of Alternatives A and B.
The following criteria are recommended for considering a combination approach:
(a) Fits within the DEIS framework
(b) Accounts for impacts of shifting growth capacity from one place to another
Note: It’s important that any chosen combination of elements remains within the scope studied for the
DEIS. Significant changes may require a supplemental EIS, which is outside the current project scope and
could add costs and delay the adoption of the comprehensive plan. Staff will present the housing
Packet Pg. 5
capacity for each center and hub in both proposed alternatives and offer scenarios for discussion. The
Planning Board will review these options and make their recommendation, which will further be
discussed with the Council.
Draft Transportation Element
Under the GMA, the Transportation Element must be consistent with the Land Use Element.
Furthermore, it must include (among other things):
(a) The transportation element must include the following sub-elements:
(i) Land use assumptions used in estimating travel;
(ii) Estimated multimodal level of service impacts to state-owned transportation facilities resulting
from land use assumptions to assist in monitoring the performance of state facilities, to plan
improvements for the facilities, and to assess the impact of land-use decisions on state-owned
transportation facilities;
(iii) Facilities and services needs, including:
(A) An inventory of air, water, and ground transportation facilities and services, including transit
alignments, active transportation facilities, and general aviation airport facilities, to define
existing capital facilities and travel levels to inform future planning. This inventory must include
state-owned transportation facilities within the city or county's jurisdictional boundaries;
(B) Multimodal level of service standards for all locally owned arterials, locally and regionally
operated transit routes that serve urban growth areas, state-owned or operated transit routes
that serve urban areas if the department of transportation has prepared such standards, and
active transportation facilities to serve as a gauge to judge performance of the system and
success in helping to achieve the goals of this chapter consistent with environmental justice.
These standards should be regionally coordinated...
Note: Ultimately, the list of approved projects in a six-year Transportation Improvement Program must
also be included. (The list is not part of the October 23 Board discussion.)

Opportunity for Edmonds
•Being climate-change responsive
Emphasis on mixed land use, pedestrian-friendly infrastructure, and efficient public
transportation.
Conduct environmental impact analysis of each area of growth to collect the data and
determine the environmental impacts to make certain no harm is done to the environment.
•Creating walkable neighborhoods:
Most daily necessities and services can be easily reached by a short walk, bike ride, or public
transit ride.
•Supporting mobility for people, not just vehicles
Implementing Multi-modal Level of Service (MMLOS). Edmonds can better prioritize
investments in transportation infrastructure, promote sustainable and equitable
transportation options.

Downtown
Opportunity to leverage Edmonds Creative
Arts District status:
•Incentivize "Live-work" land uses along Dayton
Street and Arts Corridor.
•Live-work spaces can vary in scale from mixed-
use developments with residential units above
ground-floor shops to smaller home offices or
studios.
•They are proposed to be flexible to
accommodate a range of business types,
including creative industries, professional services,
and artisanal production.

Downtown
Opportunity to support Downtown’s vibrancy
•Downtown population supports a variety of
businesses and services, including shops,
restaurants, and cultural institutions.
•Edmonds’ downtown is already a 15-minute
neighborhood. By adding more multi-family
adjacent to existing multi-family uses, more
residents can easily access amenities and
services, leading to improved public health
outcomes and a higher quality of life.
•The plan is exploring expansion of multi-family
land uses near City Park and along 5th Avenue.

Highway 99 Subarea
Opportunity to encourage better transitions into
residential neighborhoods
•Explore a strategy of shifting heights within the subarea plan
boundary to enable a transition zone on selected parcels.
This is not necessarily for every parcel along Hwy 99.
•It entails increasing the heights allowance for some parcels
adjacent to Highway 99 from 75’ to 85’ and reducing those
maximum heights for some parcels beyond Highway 99
adjacency to 55’.
•This will not impact the net growth capacity of Highway 99
subarea but create better design outcomes for the residential
areas next to the subarea.
