AgendaTopic Water Fluoridation
Comments Dear council members, I made a public comment several months ago urging the
council to start the process of removing fluoride from the Edmond's drinking water. Communities
all over the USA are now embracing the updated research and about harms of water fluoridation on
the central nervous and endocrine systems. I would like to continue to stress the importance that
you make a move to cease this well marketed but scientifically inaccurate practice since it also
violates informed consent and the Nuremberg code. Please make the appropriate steps for the
health of the Edmond's community.

AgendaTopic Comp Plan amendments
Comments Many Edmonds property owners including myself, were ultimately disappointed
with the process and final version of the 2025 Comprehensive Plan. There are many reasons for this
but at this point, it is history. As Director Shane Hope pointed out late in the process, the Comp
Plan can be amended. This evening's meeting agenda includes: 2025 Comprehensive Plan
Amendment Ideas to Study (40 min). I would like to go on record supporting the amendments
submitted by CM Michelle Dotsch and CM Vivian Olson. They are thoughtful, well considered, and
follow the RCWs and WACs that were neglected and glossed over in the flawed 2025 Comp Plan
development process. The Comprehensive Plan should lay out the desired outcomes for the next
20 years. In its current form, it does not. The upcoming Critical Area Ordinance process is one of
the important documents that must be informed by a more complete Comp Plan. It should define
the strategies to achieve the outcomes in the Comp Plan. If the Comp Plan is silent on these
important issues, the subsequent Critical Area Ordinance will be rudderless and without a true
course to follow. Please take this opportunity to improve the Comp Plan with this amendment
process to flesh out and fully describe all of the plan's elements, including housing. environment,
transportation, etc. outcomes. Thank you, John Brock

Packet Pg. 29
March 25, 2025
Memo
To: Mayor Rosen and Edmonds City Council Members
From: Edmonds Planning Board Members (PB)
Subject: Planning Board Update
Edmonds PB began code update work to implement the Comprehensive Plan in January of
2025. Specifically, the issues considered were STEP Housing, Middle Housing, Centers
and Hubs and Design Review. Each topic follows the same general process:
1) Introduction and Overview of Requirements
2) Key Issues Review and Discussion
3) Introduction of Preliminary (Draft) code language
4) PB discussion and a recommendation to City Council.
Highlighted issues during our discussions of the four code updates.
1) STEP Housing. The Board will vote on Wednesday, 3/26, on a recommendation to
City Council. In general, we agree with the draft language provided but want to
make you aware of actions taken by other nearby jurisdictions that might help to
assuage the public’s concerns regarding safety and security.
2) Middle Housing. The Board will review DRAFT illustrations, review Preliminary code
language and discuss preferences during our 3/26 meeting. The Board is planning
on voting on a Recommendation at our 5/28 meeting.
3) Centers and Hubs. We continue to follow the process outlined above and are
scheduled to vote on a recommendation on 5/14. Of note, the Board has received a
considerable amount of feedback (in person, phone and e-mail) from the residents
of the North Bowl Hub about the criteria for selection, any proposed changes to
accommodate a Hub in this location etc.
4) Design Review. The Board is following the process highlighted above and we are
scheduled to provide a recommendation to City Council on 4/23.
The Planning Board remains fully subscribed and along with the Planning Department, are
focused on meeting the dates noted above.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 04/1/2025
Priorities for 2025 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Ideas
Staff Lead: Shane Hope
Department: Planning & Development
Preparer: Jana Spellman
Background/History
The Edmonds Comprehensive Plan was adopted in December 2024, after a two-year update process. To
address minor changes that were not able to be considered earlier, City Council approved a special
process on March 4 for potential 2025 amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. (See second
attachment.) The process included Council members submitting ideas for minor Comprehensive Plan
amendments in 2025.
Staff Recommendation
o Consider a process that will be proposed to make the decision-making go relatively quickly.
o Vote on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Ideas to be studied further.
Narrative
Current Amendment Ideas
Consistent with the approved 2025 amendment process, Council members submitted to the Council's
legislative executive assistant their ideas for Comprehensive Plan amendment ideas to study. Those 28
ideas were consolidated into a table and shared as part of the Council's March 25th meeting. (See first
attachment.)
At the Council's March 25 meeting, the 28 ideas--in abbreviated form--were divided into five categories.
(See third attachment.) It was discussed that Items from Category 5 ("Code Updates/Other") should not
be considered as Comprehensive Plan amendment ideas. Also some items could be combined (such as
four different ideas about the same neighborhood hub).
Next Steps
o At its April 1 meeting, the Council will be asked to vote on which amendment ideas to put on the
list for further consideration and study.
o After April 1, a study period will begin for any items on the Council-approved list.
o Results of the study will be reported by the end of June.
o In early July, the Council will decide on which ideas to formally propose as Comprehensive Plan
amendments.
o The proposed amendments will go through a public process (including Planning Board) and
9.1
Packet Pg. 42
other steps.
o In early September, the Council will vote on adopting any of the proposed amendments into the
Edmonds Comprehensive Plan.

#CM General Idea of Amendment considered Purpose of amendment? Anticipated benefits? Type of Information from Study Period?
1 Chris Eck I would like to revisit all of the comp plan amendments
regarding height and area size for the North Bowl.
I believe the decisions the Council made previously
unnecessarily limit the growth for the North Hub.
A list of all comp plan decisions made pertaining to the
North Bowl, versus what was proposed by the Planning
Dept. and Planning Board. Along with the current
household estimates based on those decisions versus
how much household growth we can have if we closely
adhered to the recommendations of the Planning
Department and Planning Board.
2 Vivian Olson Hummingbird Park
Potential surplus due to 4 other parks all within ½ mile of this one.
This park is in the middle of a residential neighborhood with more
than one access point.
Consider 1) what zoning would be appropriate for this
parcel considering the holistic situation (parcel, its
surrounding neighborhood, and servicing roads and other
infrastructure) 2) consider tree protections for the large
trees on the perimetertitle free and clear? How many
housing units could the infrastructure handle? What
amount of housing (at that level or less than that level) is
still a fit for the neighborhood considering the topography
and overall neighborhhood feel?
3 Vivian Olson Rezone to BD2: 6th/8th/Dayton/Main
(Francis Anderson Center (FAC) location). If community does not
wish to pay to support the expensive pending overhaul of the
HVAC system, expanding the possibilities of what could happen
here (in this prime town center location) would be prudent. If City
continues to own the library and FAC, this zoning change would
have no effect. If we do not, we have many options. Considering
historical significance, I would hope that any plan to sell would be
in response to a RFP for developer ideas/visions that found favor
with the community and honored the building’s history, maybe
even preserving for the community ongoing use of playfields for
youth and festival purposes.
Community engagement
4 Vivian Olson
Re-look at North Edmonds Bowl Hub Reduce height
allowances in the areas where Sound views will be blocked
(south of Puget Drive), change rule about not being allowed
to re-build single family, remove density on Grandview and
areas northwest of it
This upzoning was never appropriate for this hub and the units
would be absorbed with new proposals if some of the new
proposals were embraced.
Council and staff walking this area; Community
engagement
5 Vivian Olson Lake Ballinger height limits
This was another CM’s idea that came late in the process and was
therefore not vetted. Exploring the possibility of adding a Lake
View view units in this location by adding one more level of height
is worth considering
Community engagement, shadow studies, view studies (to
make sure others closeby are not negatively impacted)

6 Vivian Olson Meadowdale Clubhouse - possible sale or repurposing
The clubhouse is not getting much use by the community in
recent years; a neighborhood business of appropriate scale may
be a real benefit to this neighborhood (perhaps a bodega that
catered picnic lunches for the closeby Haines warf and
Meadowdale Beach parks in the summer?). If treated as BD1 or
BD2, could have one level of housing units over the business.
Sale of the property would generate revenue and lower City costs
for building maintenance of a facility that is (per neighbors) not
adding a lot of value to the residents (revenues from this are taxes
from the residents that we do not need to collect).
title issues and community engagement with the
Meadowdale neighbors.
7 Vivian Olson
Westgate CARA/ Density Concern about underground
springs on the northmost side of this Center were brought
up late in the process; if verified, may be reason to revisit
the boundaries of the Center
Environmental protection and setting of expectations of future
buyers about what can realistically be built here
Environmental study (maybe historically done and needing
to be researched?)
8 Will Chen
Allow building height to be 20 story/floor in the
International District with 20% of affordable housing
made available by developers. Affordable housing
guidelines shall follow state RCW and/or city resolution or
ordinance.
Provide much needed affordable housing, and Generate much
needed tax revenue
Study if market conditions support such building height in
the International District.
9 Will Chen Allow hotel on the Port of Edmonds and the Waterfront
properties.More tourism and increase tax revenue.Study if market conditions support more hotels at the Port
of Edmonds and Waterfront areas.
10 Will Chen Revisit North bowl center and hub.Reconsider input from residents.Public input.
11 Susan Paine Allow neighborhood cafes and stores in all our
neighborhood Hubs and Centers.
I'd like to propose that Edmonds adopt a similar code change to
what Shoreline has allowing neighborhood cafés and stores in all
of our neighborhood Hubs and Centers. There are 2 differing
approaches, my preference is what Shoreline allows, which
includes mid-block cafés/stores, the other which comes from
Seattle is a corner lot strictly.

12 Susan Paine Displacement
One more request, when we decided our NHCs, we didn't talk
much about displacement as an issue, and I believe that there
are only a few areas where that would be a problem. When the
issue of displacement comes up in our land use discussions, it
would be helpful to bring that forward.

Explicitly state and detail and/or expand the following
mandatory policies in both the Land Use and the
Housing Elements of the Comp Plan.
Purpose: to insert the environmental protections and policies into
the comp plan land use element that the city did not follow the
requirements of the WAC. Under Land Use element. Comp plan
will lay out how it is to be dealt with. Housing element increasing
density without providing how it will impact the environment. EIS
did not look at watershed impacts and critical area impacts.
WAC listed under comp plan mandatory elements.
1) Avoid environmental impacts through appropriate land
use designations [WAC 365-196-485(4)]. This could include
wildlife corridor city map as a starting point. 2) Avoid
directing new growth to areas with high probability of
conflicts between new development and protecting critical
areas [WAC 365-196-485(4)] 3)Identify open space
corridors within and between urban growth areas for
multiple purposes, including those areas needed as
critical habitat by wildlife [WAC 365-196-485(1)(c)]
Anticipated benefit: to proceed with additional development that
will be least impactful to our environment and critical areas. This
will ensure consistency. When such policies are incorporated
into the comprehensive plan as part of the Land Use element, the
consistency of the regulations can be readily assessed. This is
directly from the WAC and more information needed to refer to
are the WAC listed above. A previous meeting held with Interim
Development Director Hope in 2024 gave consideration that
these could be of benefit but timing prior to comp plan update
approval in 2024 was limited to look at so now could be a great
opportunity to consider this. This lines up with the statement in
the comprehensive plan that states: “City of Edmonds – Mission
to lead in environmental stewardship”.
14 Michelle Dotsch
Establish a Critical Areas Program and set forth its
underlying policies and priorities for Land Use [WAC 365-
196-485(1)(e)],
Purpose is to implement this required WAC as an amendment to
provide overarching policy and priorities for protecting critical
areas in the comprehensive plan.
Benefit: Overarching benefit will protect and enhance our critical
areas. There has been mention of the need to update the Critical
Area Code (ECDC title 23) this year and the current plan polices
should also be reviewed at the same time to ensure they provide
the needed guidance to the updated Code provisions. For
instance, ensure expand wetland buffers to be consistent with
WDOE and WDFW recommendations. The current policies are
very general and not well coordinated with the current Code.
Good goals and policies will lead to a better Code.
15 Michelle Dotsch Establish proactive goals for the following in the Land
Use Element [RCW 36.70A.020]:
Purpose: This RCW listed above has these goals that area to be
considered that were not fully reviewed in the comp plan update
most likely due to the time constraints in 2024.

Retaining and Expanding Open Space
Benefit: improve both the human and natural environment, that
Council states at every meeting we are stewards of these lands.
This would provide policies and standards for managing our tree
canopy in Edmonds, lessening any future litigation against the
City.
Conserving Fish and Wildlife Habitat including protecting
wildlife corridors and preventing stormwater adverse
impacts on aquatic habitat
Preserving Natural Environment including mature tree and
tree canopy goals from the Urban Forest Management Plan
Enhancing the State's High Quality of Life, Including Air and
Surface Water Quality
16 Michelle Dotsch
Modify the Land Use Element to include mandatory [RCW
36.70A.070] “REVIEW DRAINAGE, FLOODING, AND
STORMWATER RUNOFF in the area and nearby
jurisdictions and provide guidance for corrective actions to
mitigate or cleanse those discharges that pollute waters of
the state or waters entering Puget Sound.”
Purpose: Bring the Land Use element up to mandatory statutory
requirements. Benefit: Above plus this would avoid losing grants
because not adhering to the law.
17 Michelle Dotsch
Revise the Land Use Criteria and Zoning Map to
designate the Edmonds Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary open
space zoning (bounded by Hwy 104 to the east; BNSF
Railroad Tracks to the west; Harbor Square to the north;
and Pine Street up to and then along the base of the Point
Edwards bluff to the south).
Purpose: to bring that land together in accordance with the City’s
plans and priorities for the last 10 years. Benefit: to allow
restoration and other activities to proceed with one common
purpose to restore nearshore wildlife habitat.
18 Michelle Dotsch
Identify Critical Areas and adjacent buffer areas with an
overlay designation on the Future Land Use and Zoning
Maps.
Purpose: Currently, the City Code (23.40.020) specifies that
Critical Area regulations apply as an overlay to other existing
development provisions. However, these are not identified on the
plan or zoning maps for the benefit of existing and future property
owners and residents. They are identified on separate GIS maps,
but most residents only know about their existing zoning
designation if even that. Benefit: The development process will
be better informed if everyone knows about these important
critical areas. This is for truth and transparency in planning
management.

19 Michelle Dotsch Remove the North Bowl as a Hub
Purpose: The State required count of all housing unit capacity for
all centers and hubs in Edmonds was 2400 units. The Council
ended up going far above the requirement by an additional 72% to
over 4130 units of capacity that ended up being approved. The
city is also almost 900 units of excess total capacity for the entire
City. Benefit: The North Bowl neighbors have explained in detail
how the Hub concept does not comply here for the originally
intended purpose of why this tiny area for a Hub designation and
pull in lots on a dead end and narrow lane that was incorrectly
labeled a through street. Because we have approved 4132 units
and only need 2400 units, this tiny area will be easy to remove and
not affect any state requirements so Edmonds will easily remain
in compliance.
20 Michelle Dotsch
Include much greater commercial/retail/service space
requirements in our Centers and Hubs, such as add that
all Centers and Hubs development that includes 20 or
more units must have ground floor commercial/retail at a
minimum. Any housing development with less than 20
units requires a minimum of 20% and the less than 20 units
cannot be achieved by reduced unit count of the parent lot
through a lot split or lot hacking if under the same
developer.
Purpose: To prevent loss of commercial and retail/services that
was the purpose of the Center and Hub model by using previous
BN and BC zoning areas. Imagine now in this Interim Code
language it eliminates the intentional zoning of 50-90% of existing
commercial space in Edmonds...50-90% of businesses gone from
Westgate, Firdale Village, Five Corners, East Seaview, Lake
Ballinger, and the wide swath around the hospital and 3 schools
in the Medical District expansion. All replaced by bedrooms and
not holding true to the intent of the Centers and Hub concept?
This needs to be further discussed and fleshed out how we are
planning these areas for current and future residents and
business tax revenue. Benefit: Remove the unintended
consequence of the loss of revenue, the loss of amenities and
services, the growth of population without holding even the
commercial and retail spaces that we have for our current
population, but claiming they will be more vibrant when all this is
promoting in our interim development code is more bedrooms
and less business?

Remove the lots from the Five Corners Center
designation north of Bowdoin Way and west of Summit
Lane
Purpose: To create a buffer zone of reduced land development
intensity from the already damaged and diverted Shell Creek and
reduce the impact of Yost Park high storm water events that are
impacting degradation of the hillside and loss of tree canopy.
Prevent Shell Creek from becoming the next Perrinville Creek
before it’s too late. This is keeping with the WAC 365-196-485
(4)(a): “avoiding impacts through appropriate land use
designations. This complies with “when developing and reviewing
the comprehensive plan and future land use designations,
counties and cities should use available information to avoid
directing new growth to areas with a high probability of conflicts
between new development and protecting critical areas.” We did
this for Perrinville Creek, let’s do this for our endangered Shell
Creek as well. Benefit: Do no harm and be good stewards of the
land that we have been entrusted with to care for. Not allow the
degradation to worsen or at least understand further what is going
on with Shell Creek, a fish habitat and restoration project and its
natural park surrounding it before we allow for more urbanized
development than necessary on its edges. We have plenty of
capacity already planned for and this is just excess units that are
not counted towards any state requirement.

22 Michelle Dotsch Remove all SF lots west of 80th Ave W from 213th St SW
to 218th St SW from the Medical District Expansion area.
Purpose: These are all dead-end streets that now have urban
land uses that are incompatible. The same types of cul-de-sacs
lots were removed from the East Seaview Hub by the Planning
Board due to the incompatible land use planning for this same
type of small and narrow cul-de-sacs. Benefit: Keep similar land
use types on these cul-de-sacs as is there now to preserve the
coordination of the development within those small number of
cul-de-sacs that we have plenty of excess capacity to do so. This
is an area that has been popular with new and younger families
that Edmonds is looking to provide housing options for with a yard
where a swing set can be placed, and light can pass through. This
incompatible higher development within the same narrow cul-de-
sacs to the East will crowd out those other lots and cast shadows
upon incompatible neighboring properties. All these lots will still
fall under HB 1110 so they can increase development with ADUs
and other middle housing typologies that are coordinated with the
rest of the lots on the small cul-de-sacs.

23 Michelle Dotsch
Amend Policy H-2.3 Provide for a higher number of units
per lot around the transit stops in activity centers,
neighborhood centers and hubs to read “Consider
providing…” and remove “activity centers” from the policy
statement.
Purpose: The Centers and Hubs have already been considered in
planning for a higher number of units per lot because of the
location and across all the designation areas within the Centers
and Hubs. The location of a transit stop in those areas are not
necessarily compatible for additional density over and above
what has already been planned for. This would lead to potential
increased density zoning of the centers and hubs that the
neighbors and the neighborhoods did not consider during the
process. We already have incentive zoning across wide areas in
Centers and Hubs to improve affordability. The center and hub
areas are so compact that extra transit stop density is
superfluous. Benefit: Keep the Center and Hubs consistent in
their publicly noted zoning designation capacity as they are
already planned for well above the required units with even
additional height bonuses offered in many areas. The Activity
Centers are already zoned for growth that is not required to be
denser and serves no purpose to grow beyond what is required,
as we carefully excluded the Hwy 99 activity center and
Downtown activity center for that exact unintended outcome of
uncoordinated additional growth. Removing activity center
language here would keep that promise to Hwy 99 and the
Downtown core and can easily be fixed by removing activity
centers from this statement.
24 Michelle Dotsch
Under neighborhood centers, page 44, Remove the
sentence “Centers permit a wide range of building types
and will offer the ability to accomplish daily tasks without a
car to large sectors of the city. “
Purpose: this is not an accurate statement that anyone can
access LARGE sectors of the city without a car.
25 Michelle Dotsch
On page 44 under the heading: Some of the key
characteristics of the neighborhood centers and hubs are:
Please remove the bullet point: “Complementary Uses:
enable compact building forms, providing the ability to
accomplish many daily tasks without a car.”
Purpose: again, accomplishing many daily tasks without a car is
not realistic for Edmonds and should not currently plan like it is
so. Benefit: compatibility of growth with actual service realities
and Edmonds’ preferred method of vehicle travel included to not
create gridlock and limited parking safety issues. Visitors to
Edmonds almost all use personal vehicles to do so, and this will
allow for them to participate in economic growth of our city if they
can easily access these areas or they will go elsewhere to spend
their money.
26 Neil Tibbott
City Hall: To explore ways our city might utilize these
properties more fully if the allowed uses were expanded
beyond their current designations.
Explore if upzoning or rezoning is suitable for the property.
Prepare for the property for redevelopment or other compatible
uses within current designation.
What zoning is compatible with the surrounding area? How
could the existing zoning be more fully utilized?

Individual Ranking Sheet
Committee Member’s Name ______Michelle Dotsch__I want to follow the proper protocol that was
agreed upon previously. This method is changing the order and process of our agreed-upon
procedure, putting consideration of a select, few amendments before initially hearing information
and dialogue about all of the amendments proposed equally as agreed upon. The choice of which
to pursue, whether six whether three whether ten, is the choice that will be made publicly in an
open meeting after we hear about all of the amendments proposed and feedback from staff and
other councilmembers. My input below is under protest over a non approved process change
from the amendment consideration plan that full council approved in our packet.
