Chapter 20.01
TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECT PERMITS
Sections:
20.01.000 Purpose and general provisions.
20.01.001 Types of actions.
20.01.002 Determination of proper procedure type.
20.01.003 Permit type and decision framework.
20.01.006 Legislative enactments not restricted.
20.01.007 Exempt projects.
20.01.000 Purpose and general provisions.
A. The purpose of this chapter is to establish standard procedures, decision criteria, public
notification, and timing for development project permit application decisions made by the city
of Edmonds. These procedures are intended to:
1. Promote timely and informed public participation;
2. Eliminate redundancy in the application, permit review, and appeals processes;
3. Process permits equitably and expediently;
4. Balance the needs of permit applicants with neighbors;
5. Ensure that decisions are made consistently and predictably; and
6. Result in development that furthers city goals as set forth in the comprehensive plan.
These procedures provide for an integrated and consolidated land use permit process. The
procedures integrate the environmental review process with land use procedures, decisions,
and consolidated appeal processes.
B. The provisions of this title supersede all other procedural requirements that may exist in
other sections of the city code. When interpreting and applying the standards of this title, its
provisions shall be the minimum requirements. Where conflicts occur within provisions of this
EXHIBIT A
2
title and/or between this title and other city code provisions and regulations, the more
restrictive provisions shall apply. Where conflict between the text of this title and the zoning
map ensue, the text of this title shall prevail.
C. Unless otherwise specified, all references to days shall be calendar days. Whenever the last
day of a deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday designated by RCW 1.16.050 or by a
city ordinance, or any day when City Hall or the city’s planning and development department is
closed to the public by formal executive or legislative action, the deadline shall run until the
next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday or closed day. [Ord. 4299 § 37 (Exh. A), 2023; Ord.
4154 § 1 (Att. A), 2019; Ord. 3817 § 1, 2010].
20.01.001 Types of actions.
There are five main types of actions (or permits) that are reviewed under the provisions of this
chapter. The types of actions are based on who makes the decision, the amount of discretion
exercised by the decision-making body, the level of impact associated with the decision, the
amount and type of public input sought, and the type of appeal opportunity.
A. Administrative Decisions. Type I and II decisions are administrative decisions made by the
planning and development director or his/her designee (hereinafter the “director”). Type I
permits are ministerial decisions and are based on compliance with specific, nondiscretionary
and/or technical standards that are clearly enumerated. Type II permits are administrative
decisions where the director makes a decision based on standards and clearly identified
criteria, but where public notice is required. Unless otherwise provided, appeals of Type II
decisions shall be initiated as set forth in ECDC 20.06.030.
B. Quasi-Judicial Decisions. Type III, Type IV and appeal of Type II decisions are quasi-judicial
decisions that involve the use of discretionary judgment in the review of each specific
application. Quasi-judicial decisions are made by the hearing examiner, the architectural design
board, and/or the city council.
C. Legislative Decisions. Type V actions are legislative decisions made by the city council under
its authority to establish policies and regulations regarding future private and public
developments, and management of public lands.
1. Planning Board. The planning board shall hold a public hearing and make
recommendations to the city council on Type V actions, except that the city council may
EXHIBIT A
3
hold a public hearing itself on area-wide rezones to implement city policies, or
amendments to zoning code text, development regulations or the zoning map. The public
hearing shall be held in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 20.06 ECDC, RCW
36.70A.035 and all other applicable law.
2. City Council. The city council may consider the planning board’s recommendation in a
public hearing held in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 20.06 ECDC and RCW
36.70A.035 and all other applicable law. If the city council desires to hold a public hearing
on area-wide rezones to implement city policies, or amendments to zoning code text,
development regulations or the zoning map, it may do so without forwarding the proposed
decision to the planning board for a hearing.
3. Public Notice. Notice of the public hearing or public meeting shall be provided to the
public as set forth in Chapter 20.03 ECDC.
4. Implementation. City council Type V decision shall be by ordinance or resolution and
shall become effective on the effective date of the ordinance or resolution. [Ord. 4299 § 38
(Exh. A), 2023; Ord. 4154 § 1 (Att. A), 2019; Ord. 3817 § 1, 2010].
20.01.002 Determination of proper procedure type.
A. Determination by Director. The director shall determine the proper procedure for all project
applications. Questions concerning the appropriate procedure shall be resolved in favor of the
higher numbered procedure.
B. Optional Consolidated Permit Processing. An application that involves two or more
procedures may be processed collectively under the highest numbered procedure required for
any part of the application or may be processed individually under each of the application
procedures identified in ECDC 20.01.003. The applicant may determine whether the application
will be processed collectively or individually. If the applications are processed individually, the
highest numbered type procedure shall be undertaken first, followed by the other procedures
in sequence from the highest numbered to the lowest. When Type III-A and Type III-B permits
are consolidated under this subsection, the project shall proceed under the Type III-A permit
process. When two or more permits are consolidated under this subsection, the permit
timelines for decisions on individual permits in ECDC 20.01.003(B) do not apply.
C. Decisionmaker(s). Applications processed in accordance with subsection (B) of this section
which have the same procedure number, but are assigned to different hearing bodies, shall be
EXHIBIT A
4
heard collectively by the highest decisionmaker; the city council being the highest body,
followed by the hearing examiner, architectural design board or planning board, as applicable,
and then the director. Joint public hearings with other agencies shall be processed according to
ECDC 20.06.010. Concurrent public hearings held with the architectural design board and any
other decisionmaker shall proceed with both decisionmakers present. [Ord. 4154 § 1 (Att. A), 2019;
Ord. 3817 § 1, 2010; Ord. 3736 § 4 (Exh. A), 2009].

director does not provide a written determination to the applicant that the application is
incomplete as provided in subsection (A)(2) of this section.
C. Additional Information. An application is complete for the purposes of this section when it
meets the submission requirements of ECDC 20.02.002 and the submission requirements of
the applicable development regulations. The determination of completeness shall be made
when the application is sufficiently complete for review, even though additional information
may be required or project modifications may be undertaken subsequently. The determination
of completeness shall not preclude the director’s ability to request additional information or
studies whenever new information is required, or when substantial changes are made to the
proposed project.
D. Incomplete Applications.
EXHIBIT A
12
1. Whenever the applicant receives a determination from the city pursuant to subsection
(A)(2) of this section that the application is incomplete, the applicant shall have 90 days to
submit the necessary requested information. If circumstances warrant, the applicant may
apply in writing to the director requesting a one-time 90-day extension. The extension
request must be received by the city prior to the end of the initial 90-day period.Within 14
days after an applicant has submitted the requested additional information, the director
shall make a determination of completeness and notify the applicant in the manner
provided in subsection (A) of this section.
2. Within 14 days after an applicant has submitted the requested additional information,
the director must make a determination of completeness and notify the applicant in the
manner provided in subsection (A) of this section.Whenever the applicant receives a notice
that the contents of the application, which had been previously determined under
subsection (A)(1) of this section to be complete, is insufficient, ambiguous, undecipherable,
or otherwise unresponsive of the information being sought, the applicant shall have 90
days to submit the necessary information. If circumstances warrant, the applicant may
apply in writing to the director requesting a one-time 90-day extension. The extension
request must be received by the city prior to the end of the initial 90-day compliance
period.
3. If the applicant does not submit the additional information requested within the 90-day
period (or within the 90-day extension period, as applicable), the director shall make
findings and issue a decision, according to the Type I procedure, that the application has
lapsed for lack of information necessary to complete the review. The decision shall state
that no further action will be taken on the application.
4. When the director determines that an application has lapsed because the applicant has
failed to submit required information within the necessary time period, the applicant may
request a refund of the application fee remaining after the city’s determination of
completeness.
E. Requesting Additional Information.
The determination of completeness does not preclude the director’s ability to request
additional information or ask for corrections to submitted materials whenever additional or
updated information is required, or when substantial changes are made to the proposed
project.
EXHIBIT A
13
1. Whenever the applicant receives a notice that the contents of the application, which
had been previously determined to be complete under subsection (A)(1) of this section, is
insufficient, ambiguous, undecipherable, or otherwise unresponsive of the information
being sought, the applicant has 90 days to submit the requested information. If
circumstances warrant, the applicant may apply in writing to the director requesting a one-
time 90-day extension. The extension request must be received by the city prior to the end
of the initial 90-day period.
2. If the applicant does not submit the additional information requested within the 90-day
period (or within the 90-day extension period, as applicable), the director must make
findings and issue a decision, according to the Type I procedure, that the application has
lapsed for lack of information necessary to complete the review. The decision must state
that no further action will be taken on the application.
3. When the director determines that an application has lapsed because the applicant has
failed to submit required information within the necessary time period, the applicant may
request a refund of the application fee remaining after the city’s determination of
completeness.
E. Director’s Failure to Provide Determination of Completeness. An application shall be deemed
complete under this section if the director does not provide a written determination to the
applicant that the application is incomplete as provided in subsection (A) of this section.
F. Date of Acceptance of Application. Permit applications shall not be officially accepted until
complete. When an application is determined to be complete, the director shall note the date of
acceptance for continued processing.
GF. City Duty to Review. After the application is determined to be complete or additional
materials are accepted following a request for additional information, acceptance, the city must
shall begin or resume processing the application. Under no circumstances shall the city place
any application on “hold” to be processed at some later date, even if the request for the “hold”
is made by the applicant, and regardless of the requested length of the “holding” period. This
subsection does not apply to applications placed on “hold” upon determination by the city that
EXHIBIT A
14
additional information is required in order to make a decision. [Ord. 4299 § 41 (Exh. A), 2023; Ord.
3817 § 2, 2010; Ord. 3736 § 4 (Exh. A), 2009].
G. Applicant may Suspend Review. If at any time an applicant informs the city, in writing, that
the applicant would like to temporarily suspend the review of the project for more than 60
days, or if an applicant is not responsive for more than 60 consecutive days after the city has
notified the applicant, in writing, that additional information is required to further process the
application, an additional 30 days will be added to the time periods for city action to issue a
final decision for the permit. In addition, the city may set conditions for the temporary
suspension of a permit application.
20.02.004 Effect of irreconcilable applications on the same property.
A. If an applicant submits an application that cannot be reconciled with a previously submitted
application on the same property, the previously submitted application shall be deemed
withdrawn by the applicant and it shall be rendered null and void. The director shall notify the
applicant that the previously submitted application has been deemed withdrawn and will not
be processed any further. Withdrawal shall be deemed to occur even when the city has finished
processing the previously submitted application.
B. Many inconsistencies between applications can be reconciled through corrections that are
made during the development review process. This section is not intended to treat all
inconsistencies as effecting a withdrawal of the earlier application.
C. Without limiting the generality of subsection (A) of this section, the following examples are
intended to illustrate whether a subsequent application shall be deemed irreconcilable with an
earlier application:
1. Examples of Irreconcilable Applications That Result in Withdrawal.
a. Applicant submits an application for a four-lot short plat on a particular property.
Subsequently, another application is submitted for a three-lot short plat on the same
property. Assuming there is not enough land area for seven lots, the two applications
are irreconcilable because one could not construct both short plats. Hence, the four-lot
short plat is deemed withdrawn.
EXHIBIT A
15
b. Applicant submits a design review application for a 20-unit multifamily housing
development. Subsequently, another design review application is submitted for a 30-
unit multifamily housing development whose footprint would substantially overlap
with the footprint of the structure shown for the 20-unit application. Because both
structures would occupy substantially the same space they are irreconcilable and the
20-unit application would be deemed withdrawn.
2. Examples of Applications That May Be Inconsistent but Are Not Irreconcilable Resulting
in Withdrawal.
a. Applicant submits an application for a four-lot short plat on a particular property.
Subsequently, a building permit application is submitted for a single-family home the
footprint of which would encroach into the setbacks as measured from the proposed
short plat lot lines. Because the building permit application could be corrected to
properly locate the footprint, the applications are reconcilable and do not effect a
withdrawal of the short plat application.
b. Applicant submits a landscaping plan that is inconsistent in an insignificant way
with civil site-improvement plans that are submitted for the same property. If the two
sets of plans can be reconciled by submitting a corrected version of at least one of the
two plans, then city staff would seek corrections and withdrawal would not be deemed
to occur. [Ord. 4006 § 1, 2015].
20.02.005 Referral and review of development project permit
applications.
Within 10 days of accepting an application, the director shall transmit a copy of the application,
or appropriate parts of the application, to each affected government agency and city
department for review and comment, including those responsible for determining compliance
with state and federal requirements. [Ord. 3817 § 2, 2010; Ord. 3736 § 4 (Exh. A), 2009].
20.02.006 Resubmission of application after denial.
Any permit application or other request for approval submitted pursuant to this title that is
denied shall not be resubmitted or accepted by the director for review for a period of 12
EXHIBIT A
16
months from the date of the last action by the city on the application or request unless, in the
opinion of the director, there has been a significant change in the application or a significant
change in conditions related to the impacts of the proposed project. [Ord. 4006 § 2, 2015; Ord. 3817
§ 6, 2010; Ord. 3736 § 4 (Exh. A), 2009. Formerly 20.07.007].
20.02.007 Notice of final decision.
A. The director shall must issue a notice of final decision within consistent with 120 days of the
issuance of the determination of completeness pursuant to ECDC 20.02.003; provided, that the
time period for issuance of a notice of final decision on a preliminary plat shall be 90 days, for a
final plat 30 days, and a final short plat 30 daysthe timelines found in the Decision Table in
ECDC 20.01.003(B). The notice shall include the SEPA threshold determination for the proposal
and a description of any available administrative appeals. For Type II, III and IV permits, the

decision period specified in subsection (A) of this section, the following periods shall be
excluded:
1. Any period during which the applicant has been requested by the director to correct
plans, perform required studies, or provide additional required information. The period
shall be calculated from the date the director notifies the applicant of the need for
additional information until the earlier of the dates the director determines that the
additional information provided satisfies the request for information, or 14 days after the
date the additional information is provided to the city;
EXHIBIT A
17
2. If the director determines that the information submitted is insufficient, the applicant
shall be informed of the deficiencies and the procedures set forth in subsection (B)(1) of
this section for calculating the exclusion period shall apply;
3. Any period during which an environmental impact statement (EIS) is being prepared
pursuant to Chapter 43.21C RCW and Chapter 20.15A ECDC. The time period for

adds or removes commercial or residential elements from the original application that result in
a failure to meet the determination of procedural completeness for the new use.
B. Calculation of Days.
The number of days an application is in review with the city is calculated from the day
completeness is determined to the date a final decision is issued on the permit application,
EXHIBIT A
18
consistent with ECDC 20.02.007. The number of days is calculated by counting every calendar
day and excluding the following time period:
1. Any period between the day that the city has notified the applicant, in writing, that
additional information is required to further process the application and the day when
responsive information is resubmitted by the applicant;
2. Any period after an applicant informs the city, in writing, that they would like to
temporarily suspend review of the permit application until the time that the applicant
notifies the city, in writing, that they would like to resume the application; and
3. Any period after an administrative appeal is filed until the administrative appeal is
resolved and any additional time period provided by the administrative appeal has expired.

DISTRICT-BASED DESIGN REVIEW
20.12.005 Outline of process and statement of intent.
The architectural design board (ADB) process has been developed in order to provide for public
and design professional input prior to the expense incurred by a developer in preparation of
detailed design. In combination, Chapter 20.10 ECDC and this chapter are intended to permit
public and ADB input at an early point in the process while providing greater assurance to a
developer that his general project design has been approved before the final significant
expense of detailed project design is incurred. In general, the process is as follows:
A. Public Hearing (Phase 1). The applicant shall submit a preliminary conceptual design to the
city. Staff shall schedule the first phase of the ADB hearing within 30 days of staff’s
determination that the application is complete. Upon receipt, staff shall provide full notice of a
public hearing, noting that the public hearing shall be conducted in two phases. The entire
single public hearing on the conceptual design shall be on the record. At the initial phase, the
applicant shall present facts which describe in detail the tract of land to be developed noting all
significant characteristics. The ADB shall make factual findings regarding the particular
characteristics of the property and shall prioritize the design guideline checklist based upon
these facts, the provisions of the city’s design guideline elements of the comprehensive plan
and the Edmonds Community Development Code. Following establishment of the design
guideline checklist, the public hearing shall be continued to a date certain requested by the
applicant, not to exceed 120 days from the meeting date. The 120-day170-day city review
EXHIBIT A
28
period required by RCW 36.70B.080 commences with the application for Phase 1 of the public
hearing. The 120-day 170-day time period is suspended, however, while the applicant further
develops their application for Phase 2 of the public hearing. This suspension is based upon the
finding of the city council, pursuant to RCW 36.70B.080, that additional time is required to
process this project type. The city has no control over the length of time needed or taken by an
applicant to complete its application.
B. Continued Public Hearing (Public Hearing, Phase 2). The purpose of the continuance is to
permit the applicant to design or redesign his initial conceptual design to address the input of
the public and the ADB by complying with the prioritized design guideline checklist criteria.
When the applicant has completed his design or redesign, he shall submit that design for final
review. The matter shall be set for the next available regular ADB meeting date. If the applicant
fails to submit his or her design within 180 days, the staff shall report the matter to the ADB
who shall note that the applicant has failed to comply with the requirements of the code and
find that the original design checklist criteria approval is void. The applicant may reapply at any
time. Such reapplication shall establish a new 120-day 170-day review period and establish a
new vesting date.
C. After completing the hearing process, the final detailed design shall be presented to the city
in conjunction with the applicable building permit application. The city staff’s decision on the
building permit shall be a ministerial act applying the specific conditions or requirements set
forth in the ADB’s approval, but only those requirements. A staff decision on the building permit
shall be final and appealable only as provided in the Land Use Petition Act. No other internal
appeal of the staff’s ministerial decisions on the building permit is allowed. [Ord. 4302 § 4 (Att. A),
2023; Ord. 3636 § 3, 2007].

The city shall make its final decision on a proposed formal subdivision within 90 days of the
date of filing the timelines found in the Decision Table in ECDC 20.01.003(B), unless the
applicant agrees to extend the time. Where applicable, additional time needed to prepare and
circulate an environmental impact statement shall not be included within said 90 days. [Ord.
