ADJOURNMENT Hearing Examiner Agenda Item Meeting Date: 10/24/2024 Firdale Village Daycare Conditional Use Permit (PLN2024-0052) Staff Lead: Tristan Sewell Department: Planning Division Prepared By: Michael Clugston Background/History This is a new application. Staff Recommendation Approve the proposed daycare use as described in the attached staff report and five attachments. Narrative Jesse Binford of BC Investigative Engineers applied for a conditional use permit pursuant to Edmonds Community Development Code Chapter 20.05 to expand the space of the existing daycare center at Firdale Village. The Firdale Village Mixed Use zone (FVMU) conditionally permits daycare centers in both districts (ECDC 16.100.030). The existing daycare center predates the rezoning of this property to FVMU, but expansion of a legal nonconforming use requires a conditional use permit (ECDC 17.40.010(D)).

APPLICATION MATERIALS The City received the application on June 24, 2024 (Attachment 1). Staff deemed the application complete pursuant to ECDC 20.02.003 on July 1, 2024 (Attachment 2). IV. SEPA THRESHOLD DETERMINATION Review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) is not required with this application. WAC 197-11-800(6)(e) exempts land use decisions like variances, which are based on special circumstances with the property. V. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS The subject site is uniquely zoned Firdale Village Mixed Use (FVMU). Multifamily Residential (RM-1.5) neighbor the subject lot to the east, with all other sides zoned Single-Family Residential (RS-8). The only exception is to the immediate south, across the county line in Shoreline, which is likewise developed as single-family homes. VI. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The City considered the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan when crafting the Firdale Village Mixed Use zone (ECDC 23.40.000(B)). The Comprehensive Plan designates this site “Neighborhood Commercial”, listing the following goals and policies applicable to this proposal: Commercial Development Goal A. Commercial development in Edmonds shall be located to take advantage of its unique locational opportunities while being consistent and compatible with the character of its surrounding neighborhood. All commercial development should be designed and located so that it is economically feasible to operate a business and provide goods and services to Edmonds residents and tourists in a safe, convenient and attractive manner, in accordance with the following policies: A.1 A sufficient number of sites suited for a variety of commercial uses should be identified and reserved for these purposes. The great majority of such sites should be selected from parcels of land already identified in the comprehensive plan for commercial use and/or zoned for such use. A.2 Parcels of land previously planned or zoned for commercial use but which are now or will be identified as unnecessary, or inappropriate for such use by additional analysis, should be reclassified for other uses. A.3 The proliferation of strip commercial areas along Edmonds streets and highways and the development of commercial uses poorly related to surrounding land uses should be strongly discouraged. 1.a Packet Pg. 4 At t a c h m e n t : P L N 2 0 2 4 - 0 0 5 2 S t a f f R e p o r t w . A t t a c h m e n t s ( F i r d a l e V i l l a g e D a y c a s e C o n d i t i o n a l U s e P e r m i t ) File No. PLN2024-0052 Conditional Use Permit Firdale Village Daycare Center Page 3 of 7 A.4 The design and location of all commercial sites should provide for convenient and safe access for customers, employees and suppliers. A.5 All commercial developments should be carefully located and designed to eliminate or minimize the adverse impacts of heavy traffic volume and other related problems on surrounding land uses. A.6 Special consideration should be given to major land use decisions made in relation to downtown Edmonds. Commercial Development Goal C. Neighborhood Commercial areas are intended to provide a mix of services, shopping, gathering places, office space, and housing for local neighborhoods. The scale of development and intensity of uses should provide a middle ground between the more intense commercial uses of the Highway 99 Corridor/ Medical area and the Downtown Activity Area. Historically, many of the neighborhood commercial areas in Edmonds have developed as classically auto-oriented commercial “strip malls” with one- and two-story developments primarily including retail and service uses. Throughout the region, neighborhood commercial areas are departing from this historical model by being redeveloped as appealing mixed-use clusters, providing attractive new pedestrian-oriented development that expands the uses and services available to local residents. C.1 Neighborhood commercial development should be located at major arterial intersections and should be designed to minimize interference with through traffic. C.2 Permit uses in neighborhood commercial areas that are intended to serve the local neighborhood. Mixed use development should be encouraged within neighborhood commercial areas. C.3 Provide for transit and pedestrian access, with the provision of facilities for local automobile traffic. Provide for pedestrian connections to nearby residential neighborhoods. C.4 Allow a variety of architectural styles while encouraging public art and sustainable development practices that support pedestrian activity and provide for appealing gathering places. C.5 Significant attention should be paid to the design of ground level commercial spaces, which must accommodate a variety of commercial uses, have street-level entrances, and storefront facades that are dominated by transparent windows. 1.a Packet Pg. 5 At t a c h m e n t : P L N 2 0 2 4 - 0 0 5 2 S t a f f R e p o r t w .

Neighborhood commercial areas may set additional specific goals for their community in order to further refine the specific identity they wish to achieve. Goals and policies for specific neighborhood centers are detailed below. C.6.b. Firdale Village C.6.a.i In the Firdale Village commercial area, development should include an attractive mix of uses that create a “neighborhood village” pedestrian-oriented environment. Commercial spaces shall be oriented toward the street in order to maximize visibility, and parking should be primarily accommodated either behind or underneath structures. C.6.a.ii Development shall not be more than four stories in height, and the design should focus on breaking up the mass and bulk of buildings by incorporating such features as setbacks, varying rooflines, and landscaping into the design of the site. The mix of uses should include not less than one quarter commercial space. VII. APPLICABLE CODES 1. ECDC 16.100 (Firdale Village Mixed Use Zone) Chapter 16.100 of the Edmonds Community Development Code frames the review of development in the FVMU zone. This zone intends to create a vibrant neighborhood village form of development that contributes to the vitality of the neighborhood. ECDC 16.100.030(A) conditionally permits daycare centers within either district onsite. Staff reviewed the proposal for compliance with the site development standards of ECDC 16.100.040 during the approved building permit (#BLD2022- 1181). 2. ECDC 20.05 (Conditional Use Permits) Chapter 20.05 establishes the processes and criteria used to review conditional use permit applications. Conditional use permits are Type III-A permits reviewed by the Hearing Examiner following a public hearing in accordance with the permit table in ECDC 1.a Packet Pg. 6 At t a c h m e n t : P L N 2 0 2 4 - 0 0 5 2 S t a f f R e p o r t w . A t t a c h m e n t s ( F i r d a l e V i l l a g e D a y c a s e C o n d i t i o n a l U s e P e r m i t ) File No. PLN2024-0052 Conditional Use Permit Firdale Village Daycare Center Page 5 of 7 20.01.003. Applications for a conditional use permit must demonstrate how the following findings in ECDC 20.05.010 can be made: A. That the proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Staff Analysis: The preexisting Firdale Village site serves Edmonds’ Firdale neighborhood and surrounding areas of Shoreline. The proposal includes no rezoning or major redevelopment. The project expands an existing use on an established mixed-use site, after the restoration of a legal nonconforming structure after a fire, pursuant to ECDC 17.40.020(F). Review of the associated restoration and tenant improvement occurred under permits BLD2022-1181, BLD2024-0227, and BLD2024-0227. Staff approved the restoration of the structure after review for compliance with the zone- specific design requirements of Chapter 22.100 ECDC. The proposed use is oriented toward the street and increases the pedestrian presence of the onsite daycare center. Daycares constitute a valuable neighborhood resource for residents of Firdale. The City classifies Firdale Ave/244th St. SW as an arterial, which has a Community Transit stop located adjacent to the subject parcel. Engineering reviewed traffic impacts in the associated building permits. The permits issued for the restoration of the legal nonconforming building and necessary change of use and tenant improvements after the fire approved of a convenient and safe design within that context. With these considerations, staff finds this criterion met. B. Zoning Ordinance. That the proposed use, and its location, is consistent with the purposes of the zoning ordinance and the purposes of the zone district in which the use is to be located, and that the proposed use will meet all applicable requirements of the zoning ordinance. Staff Analysis: ECDC 16.100.030(A) conditionally permits daycare centers in the Firdale Village Mixed Use zone. Expansion of this legal nonconforming uses therefore requires a new conditional use permit (ECDC 17.40.010(D)). Review of the associated building permits included application of the site development (ECDC 16.100.040) and design standards (Ch. 22.100 ECDC). Staff finds the proposal meets this criterion. C. Not Detrimental. That the use, as approved or conditionally approved, will not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, and to nearby private property or improvements unless the use is a public necessity. Staff Analysis: As the zone conditionally permits the proposed use and review of this and other associated permit applications involves review for compliance with applicable regulations, no significant detriment should result. If approved, the proposed daycare center would be held to the property performance standards of Chapter 17.60 ECDC and 1.a Packet Pg. 7 At t a c h m e n t : P L N 2 0 2 4 - 0 0 5 2 S t a f f R e p o r t w .

As such, staff finds this criterion met. D. Transferability. The hearing examiner shall determine whether the conditional use permit shall run with the land or shall be personal. If it runs with the land and the hearing examiner finds it in the public interest, the hearing examiner may require that it be recorded in the form of a covenant with the Snohomish County auditor. The hearing examiner may also determine whether the conditional use permit may or may not be used by a subsequent user of the same property. Staff Analysis: The applicant requested no transferability. Therefore, staff finds this criterion inapplicable. VIII. TECHNICAL REVIEW The Building and Engineering Divisions and Fire District No. 1 reviewed and evaluated the associated building permits for the restoration, change of use, and tenant improvement. These divisions issued no further comments on the conditional use permit. At time of issuance of this staff report, the City has issued all associated building permits. IX. PUBLIC COMMENTS In accordance with ECDC 20.03, staff mailed a Notice of Application dated July 12th, 2024, with a comment period ending at 4:30 p.m. on July 26th, 2024, to property owners and taxpayers within 300 feet of the subject site. Staff posted copies of the Notice onsite, at the Public Safety Complex, Planning & Development Department, and on the City website on July 12th, 2024. The Everett Herald published the notice at staff’s request on July 12th, 2024. All public notice materials, including the notice of application, declarations of mailing and posting, and an affidavit of publication are included as Attachment 5. See Attachment 6 for unabridged public comments. All commenters are Parties of Record pursuant to ECDC 20.03.003(C)(1)(D); see Section XIII of this report. Staff received one comment from Jim and Char Kennedy. Primary concerns included noise, but also onsite safety in the parking lot. The proposed use would remain subject to Chapter 5.30 ECC. However, unamplified human voices are exempt Edmonds’ noise code except for public disturbances as defined by Section 5.30.130 ECC. Engineering addressed safety concerns in review of the associated building permits. X. CONCLUSION As analyzed above, the proposed daycare center expansion complies with the criteria of ECDC 20.05.010. As such, staff recommends approval of this conditional use permit. 1.a Packet Pg. 8 At t a c h m e n t : P L N 2 0 2 4 - 0 0 5 2 S t a f f R e p o r t w .

RECOMMENDATION Based on the facts, conclusions, and attachments to this report, staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for expansion of the existing legal nonconforming daycare center. XII. APPEALS Type III-A decisions are not administratively appealable. The Hearing Examiner’s final decision on the application may be appealed by commencing a land use petition in Snohomish County superior court consistent with Chapter 36.70C RCW (ECDC 20.06.150).

Learn why this is important Subject: Comments regarding application file # PLN2024-052 Tristan, We are writing regarding the application file # PLN2024-052 for a conditional use permit to expand the existing legal non-conforming daycare center on site. The proposed project location is 9617 Firdale Ave. Currently, the Childrens Academy of Seattle Day care center at 9715 Firdale Ave in Firdale Village already causes loud and frequent noises above the 55dB level in violation of city code 5.30.040. Expanding the daycare center will only increase the level and frequency of these noises. Even though the expansion proposed will be at a separate location at 9617 Firdale Ave in Firdale Village, the additional children at he expanded location will no doubt be brought to the current Childrens Academy of Seattle outdoor playground at the 9715 location several times a day. This will only increase the loud and frequent noise levels above the 55dB level and will adversely affect the livability of the residences surrounding and behind the Childrens Academy of Seattle day care location at 9715 Firdale Ave. Having this expanded location will also mean that children will most certainly be walked back and forth between the proposed 9617 location thru the Firdale Village parking lot several times a day to the playground area at the current Childrens Academy of Seattle 9715 location. That could be an accident waiting to happen and even the slightest possibility should be avoided. We are requesting that this application be denied. We also request to receive notice of any hearings and request a copy of the decision on the application. Respectfully, Jim and Char Kennedy 9624 242nd Pl.
