(see governing ordinances Appendix Item A) SLIDE #3: SECTION 1- ORIGIN STORY Edmonds was always an arts town. The Opera House opened in1909. The Union Theatre (later Princess Theatre, and now Edmonds Theatre) was built in 1916. In 1958, both the Driftwood Players and the Arts Festival held their inaugural events. Cascade Symphony Orchestra played its first concert in 1962. Over the decades many more arts organizations, galleries, venues and events were established and have survived and thrived. SLIDE #4 “FOUNTAIN OF DISCONTENT” The EAC, Public Art process and Municipal Arts Fund were formed by ordinance in the wake of the protest over the copper fountain in 1974. Image #1A: Original fountain by Edmonds sculptors Howard Duell and Ed Bellew. Installed 1974. Project of the Chamber of Commerce with private funding. Many residents complained that the fountain was unattractive and out-of-place with the general aesthetic of downtown. It was destroyed in 1998 by a car accident. Image #1B: Photo from 1974 news article regarding the staged protest on the design of the copper fountain. Image #2: Shortly after the damaged copper fountain was removed, a television movie production asked permission to construct a temporary gondola as a set piece for a film shot in downtown Edmonds. Image #3: 1998-99, The EAC worked with City departments to redesign the 5th and Main intersection with Public Art as a primary focus. The movie set piece was much appreciated by residents and their enthusiasm for it inspired Benson Shaw’s pergola design we have today (installation 2000). Reference quotes from The Seattle Times article and a Patch article about the history of the fountain (see Appendix Item B) Item 5.2 Packet pg. 25/425 June 23, 2026 Edmonds Arts Commission Update Page 2 of 7 SLIDE #5: OFFICIAL ARTS LEADERSHIP EAC is the City’s official mechanism for arts leadership and the City’s arts & culture infrastructure layer: • The City’s Arts Representative: o EAC is charged “To represent the City’s interest in art matters”. o To be a spokesman group for art matters in the city and to keep the Mayor and City Council informed on all such related matters. • The City’s Arts Connector: o Central hub for artists, organizations, and community members. o To be a central body to whom art organizations, artists and anyone interested in cultural advancement of the community may come for information or assistance. • Advisor: o Keep the Mayor and City Council informed. o To review and make recommendations on all works of art acquired by the city. o To render any other advice and assistance in the field of art, aesthetics and beautification as requested. o To render any other assistance to the city in any other artistic activities as may be referred to by the city. • Catalyst: o Encourage, coordinate, and strengthen arts activity. o To encourage and aid programs for cultural enrichment of Edmonds citizens. o To coordinate and strengthen existing organizations in the field of art and to develop cooperation with schools and regional and national art organizations. • Steward: o Help secure funding and oversee public art. o To explore ways and methods of obtaining private, local, state and federal funds to promote art projects within the community. SLIDE #6: ARTS AS CORE IDENTITY Edmonds recognized something many cities still struggle with: Arts are not just a “nice thing to have.” They are: • A defining feature of place. • A driver of tourism and economic activity. • A source of civic pride and community cohesion. This is why: • Funding mechanisms were created. • Advisory structures were formalized. • The City embedded arts into governance—not just recreational or leisure programming. • Edmonds is not a passive arts community. People show up, people organize. • This is a city where the community cares enough about art to demand structure around it. And that structure is the Arts Commission. Item 5.2 Packet pg. 26/425 June 23, 2026 Edmonds Arts Commission Update Page 3 of 7 SLIDE #7: SECTION 2 - TODAY SLIDE #8: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO The EAC was invited to collaborate often with other nonprofits in Edmonds over the past couple of years. • In February 2025 we held a gathering with Cascadia Arts Museum which allowed leaders, board members, and volunteers from numerous art organizations around town to network, many meeting each other for the first time. Approximately 100 people attended. • Similarly, in January of 2026 we attended the Edmonds Civic Roundtable regarding the arts in Edmonds to learn how that group engages the community and to contribute our own ideas for enhancing their work. Approximately 50 people attended that event. • In the summer of 2025, we met with museum staff at Edmonds Historical Museum to help them plan their exhibit celebrating the history of the art in Edmonds (Mill Town to Creative District: History of Art in Edmonds) As a commission, we host events all year long that bring tourism to Edmonds and engage the community. • The art display case in Frances Anderson Center and the entrance to the library with local art, by official calls or invitation (a total of 8 exhibits each year). • The Tourism Promotion Award recommends awards based on applications received, averaging 15 applications annually for approximately $38,000 to present art programs that brings tourists to our city. • Summer concerts in City Park and at Hazel Miller Plaza have been presented every year for the past 20 years. In 2025 there were five City Park concerts on Sunday afternoons in July and August. These gatherings attracted approximately 1,500 attendees. We also hosted 16 concerts at Hazel Miller Plaza on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons with approximate attendance of 650 people. • Our quarterly Arts Bulletin goes out to just over 1,000 people. It promotes the EAC and highlights community activity. A regular feature is a long list of arts and culture related businesses and organizations that call Edmonds home. Another role of the arts commission is the multi-step process for public art installations. • Since 2025 we’ve completed the light pole banner project in the international district on Highway 99 • Collaborated with the Creative District and Edmonds Art Festival Foundation on the newest public art piece, Emergence in Anway Park. • We recently consulted with the Edmonds Art Festival Foundation regarding ideas for public art installation they may wish to pursue. Last, but certainly not least, the Edmonds Arts Commission hosts the Write on the Sound Conference (WOTS) each October • Last year was the 40th year for this event. It sells out each year and is a self-sustaining entity. Presenters and attendees come from all over the country. Item 5.2 Packet pg. 27/425 June 23, 2026 Edmonds Arts Commission Update Page 4 of 7 • There is a lot of work that happens behind the scenes, including the efforts of an eight- person planning committee, two of which are commission members, who collaborate on reviewing 100 proposals for approximately 40 presentation slots. • The event itself takes place over three days and utilizes approximately 20 volunteers, including all members of the commission • WOTS community partners include Edmonds Theater, Waterfront Center, Windermere Realty, Krause and Thorpe Financial Planning, Rick Steves Europe, Edmonds Harbor Inn, Edmonds Bookshop, Walnut Street Coffee, and Does It Have Pockets literary web publication. • In the fall of 2027, we plan to grow WOTS with a move the Waterfront Center. SLIDE #9: WHAT DID YOU DO IN EDMONDS LAST YEAR? Over the last two years, you, or someone in your household may have: • lingered by the newest public art piece Emergence while walking downtown or waiting in the ferry line. • gone to a concert at City Park or Hazel Miller Plaza last summer. • toured art studios during the annual Edmonds Art Studio Tour. • hosted someone when they attended the Write on the Sound Conference. These are the types of community gatherings and nonprofit collaborations that fulfill the obligations of the Arts Commission set forth in our ordinance, but they are also what allows Edmonds to be known as an “art town” and makes us a tourist destination. SLIDE #10: COMMISSION TASKS The “pause” on City of Edmonds boards and commissions impeded our inability to execute our duties, disrupted our ability to further enhance these mandates, and limits time to exchange new ideas to grow the value of artistic endeavors for the city of Edmonds. At the same time, the vacant Cultural Arts Manager position was unfilled, and the discontinuation of the Economic Development department and Director position have posed further challenges for both the EAC and the Creative District. This slide gives just a few examples of where we can lead or collaborate to connect the many nonprofits of the city, but we are not currently able to act in that capacity. Meeting hinders our ability to connect the community with art, the very thing our city is known for and the thing that draws both tourists and future residents to the city of Edmonds. SLIDE #11: LET’S KEEP THE CONNECTION ALIVE! The EAC wants to continue our work to keep the community connected and the arts thriving. As the state’s first Creative District, there is more work to be done in collaboration with that group. The EAC is the glue that can stabilize that prestigious honor. We also want to restore work we have done in the past with nonprofit education and community leadership. Allowing the Arts Commission to operate in full force once again can help make that happen. Item 5.2 Packet pg. 28/425 June 23, 2026 Edmonds Arts Commission Update Page 5 of 7 SLIDE #12: SECTION 3- LOOKING FORWARD SLIDE #13: KEEPING ART DOLLARS IN EDMONDS The arts are part of the economic infrastructure that makes Edmonds successful. They help attract visitors, residents, and the kinds of businesses that want to be in a vibrant community. Approximately 12% of Edmonds GDP is arts-related business (see Appendix Item C). As the City faces budget pressures, it's important that someone continues telling that story and helping coordinate arts efforts across Edmonds to sustain and grow the creative economy. This is one of the unique roles the Arts Commission can play. We'd like to explore ways to keep more arts investment circulating within Edmonds and the surrounding region. That would include: • Grant-Writing facilitation and assistance for local artists and underserved communities through partnerships with organizations such as Arts Fund, and the coordination of informational presentations by professional grant writers. • Examining how public art selection processes can better support local and Puget Sound regionally based artists while maintaining established policy, procedure, quality, transparency, and fairness. SLIDE #14: IDENTITY AND PLACEMAKING We see these actions as a means of focusing the EAC’s energy toward revenue generating outcomes for the entire Edmonds community through increased interest and attendance at art and cultural events. In turn that increased attendance brings increased revenue to the shops and restaurants throughout the community. • Public art doesn't just beautify a space—it helps create identity, as well as supports health and well-being (see Appendix Item D). • When people recognize and talk about specific neighborhoods, businesses benefit. Visitors stay longer. Communities develop a stronger sense of place. • We see opportunities to support neighborhood identity through murals, public art, utility wraps, signage, and partnerships with businesses throughout Edmonds. • Building stronger relationships with tribal artists, particularly the Tulalip Tribes, and making a more intentional effort to include Indigenous voices and artistic traditions in public art and cultural programming. SLIDE #15: INVESTING IN THE FUTURE Arts education is one of the most effective long-term investments a community can make. We'd like to explore partnerships with schools, support artist-led educational opportunities, help facilitate student involvement in public art, and create more opportunities for youth participation in community arts events. These efforts help make the arts a living part of community life— creating opportunities for residents to connect with one another, understand the character of Edmonds, and participate in shaping its cultural future. Item 5.2 Packet pg. 29/425 June 23, 2026 Edmonds Arts Commission Update Page 6 of 7 SLIDE #16: GROWING WHAT ALREADY WORKS Invest in the success of programs and events Edmonds already has: •WOTS: We are exploring ways to expand awareness, increase attendance, partner with local businesses, and create additional programming throughout the year for the writers’ conference. We are also interested in exploring how we might apply the same concept of tuition style attendance fees for professionally conducted workshops in the visual arts, performance arts, and other creative programming. •Investigate how we can best support community programs and events, such as the Edmonds Arts Festival. •Evaluate the Summer Concert program, after 30-plus years, for how it best serves residents in the future, and discover partnership/co-presentation opportunities. •Actively promote the Creative District through stewardship, technical assistance, and through our role as a community connector. SLIDE #17: THE ROLE OF THE ARTS COMMISSION Ultimately, this is about preserving and strengthening the things that make Edmonds special. The Arts Commission is asking to continue fulfilling the role established in ordinance: representing the City in matters of art and culture and serving as a connector between artists, organizations, businesses, schools, and the community. Many of the opportunities we've discussed today—from education and placemaking to events and economic development—depend on relationships. They happen because many people come together and coordinate their efforts across the city. The event in January 2025 in partnership with the Cascadia Art Museum was a reminder of how many people care about Edmonds' cultural future and the importance of having a place where those connections can happen. We help create connections that turn individual efforts into a stronger arts ecosystem and a stronger community. Our request is simple: allow us to meet regularly, maintain our Creative District certification, and continue building the partnerships and opportunities that help Edmonds thrive through the arts.

ITEM A: GOVERNANCE Item 5.2 Packet pg. 32/425 ITEM B: News article references regarding the fountain The Edmonds Traffic Circle: From Mud and Manure to Today's Fountain, by Larry Vogel: https://patch.com/washington/edmonds/the-edmonds-traffic-circle-from-mud-and- manure-to-public-art From “Edmonds’ Fountain of Discontent”, Seattle Times article, November 3, 1987 •Many of those residents do think, however, that the fountain in the city's downtown square is an eyesore--especially the structure in the middle of the fountain, which is particularly ugly, according to some of the people who see it every day. •“Bubbling water is OK, but that thing in the middle doesn't look nice,'' says Sue Palmer … “I don't know what it is supposed to be,'' she said of the structure, which she said is also a traffic hazard. •“The monster in the square now doesn't resemble anything” [Bill] Crump said. Crump said he has never met anyone who particularly liked the structure. “It is rusted, nondescript and damaged” •“We have such a nice city and it is a pity that thing spoils it all,'' said Norma Jean Corwin. “A lot of people pass through here because of the ferry services, and we should have something which gives our city a better image.''

We are currently trending 8.62% over 2025 for sales collections through April. •Real Personal/Property Tax is up $120,413 from this point last year and is $64,045 over the cumulative budget forecast of $5,451,128 for property tax revenues. •REET Revenus are up a total of $99,553 from this point in time last year and are $27,219 over the cumulative budget forecast of $968,775 for REET Revenues. •Development Services related revenues are $247,806 more than they were to this point in 2025. Through April, we are 33% of the year complete, but have received 49% of the budgeted Development Services revenues, or $307,719 over the $673,767 that would be expected through this point. •General Fund Interfund Loan – The City began repayment of this loan in January of 2026; the outstanding balance on the principal as of the end of April is $5,000,000. Total interest to date that will be charged for this loan is $345,791. •Salaries and Benefits City-Wide were $(463,798) less than 2025; with the General Fund being less by $(431,585). Through April, we expended $9,994,593 for the General Fund which is $(928,828) less than we would have expected through this point. This is due to leaving additional approved and funded positions vacant in 2026.

CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES: The comprehensive sewer system plan needs to be updated regularly to keep up with changes in federal and state regulatory updates, monitor and track maintenance rates & trends, and address changes and increases in population density due to zoning and land use. The update will also reflect changing demands, system conditions, and provide updated guidance, since the last update was 13 years ago. The result being that the document will aid in the determination of future projects so that our pipe network can continue to keep up with future demands. The key elements to be addressed include a sewer system analysis, capital facility plan, financial program, operations and maintenance program. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was advertised on January 15 and January 22, 2026. The City received two Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from Consor North America and BHC Consultants. The SOQs were evaluated based on the consultants’ Project Approach, Related Experience of Firms on Team, Qualifications of Proposed Project Manager, Expertise of Key Staff (Prime and Sub Consultants), and References/Past Performance. Interviews were conducted with the two firms to provide further information on the above referenced evaluation criteria. Based on this selection criteria, BHC was selected due to their extensive knowledge of Edmonds sewer system and their experience preparing sewer system plans for agencies throughout the Puget Sound. There will be opportunities for public comment on the draft plan which will be included in the final adopted comprehensive water system plan.

Gautam Page 1 Item 8.6 Packet pg. 172/425 City Council Agenda Item 8.7 June 23, 2026 - Regular Meeting TITLE:Award for Construction for 2026 Combined Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) Rehab Project (Second Reading) DEPARTMENT:Engineering PRESENTER:Mike De Lilla NEEDED FROM COUNCIL:Action RECOMMENDATION:Approve award of contract with Iron Horse LLC in the amount of $437,061.42. BUDGET: Total Dollar Amount:$568,179.84 ☒ Approved in Budget Fund(s):422-Sewer & 423-Storm ☐ Budget Reallocation Required ☐ No Budget Impact PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT: The 2026 CIPP Rehabilitation project is ready to award the construction contract. CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES: The City’s wastewater and stormwater systems include aging underground pipe infrastructure that requires rehabilitation to maintain structural integrity, reduce infiltration and inflow, minimize the risk of pipe failure, and extend the useful life of the system. The 2026 Combined Cured in Place PIpe (CIPP) Rehabilitation Project combines the Phase 6 Storm Replacement Project and the Phase 13 Sewer Replacement Projects into a single construction contract in order to reduce overall project delivery costs. This project includes rehabilitation of existing sewer and stormwater pipelines at multiple locations citywide. Sewer rehabilitation work includes 8-inch sanitary sewer pipe segments. Stormwater rehabilitation work includes 8-inch, 12-inch, 15-inch, and 18-inch drainage pipe segments. CIPP rehabilitation was selected as the preferred method because it provides a cost-effective and less disruptive alternative to traditional open-cut pipe replacement. The trenchless rehabilitation process minimizes impacts to traffic, residents, landscaping, and existing dry utilities while extending the service life of the existing pipe infrastructure. On April 28 and May 5, 2026, the project was advertised for construction bids. Construction bids were opened May 14, 2026. The bids ranged from a low of $421,273.17 to a high of $483,243.78. The engineer’s estimate was $548,441.97. The apparent low bid was deemed non-responsive. Iron Horse LLC submitted the low responsive bid of $437,061.42. A review of the low responsive bidder’s record was completed and is positive. Construction is expected to begin in Summer and completed by Fall. RECOMMENDATION: Approve award of contract with Iron Horse LLC in the amount of $437,061.42. BUDGET IMPACTS: Item 8.7 Packet pg. 173/425 Funding for the project is included in the approved budget associated with the Phase 6 Storm Replacement Project and the Phase 13 Sewer Replacement Project. Project costs will be funded through Sewer (423) Utility Fund and Storm (422) Utility Funds. Budget impacts, bid comparisons, reference checks, and bid evaluation have all been completed and are attached to this packet.

Part of the restoration project is in Yost Park and AASF requires an access agreement with the City to perform the work. Purchasing Policy Section 14 titled Real Property requires City Council to approve the Mayor to sign real property contracts such as access agreements. CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES: The Edmonds Marsh Estuary Advocates and the Adopt A Stream Foundation (AASF) propose a multi- faceted watershed restoration initiative to stabilize eroding streambanks, enhance stormwater retention, and restore hydrologic function within the upper watersheds of Shell Creek and Shellabarger Creek—two vital Edmonds waterways that drain directly to Puget Sound. This project will employ low-tech, process-based restoration techniques supported by dedicated community volunteers. The primary methods include: Native vegetation planting for streambank stabilization Post-Assisted Log Structure (PALS)/Beaver Dam Analog (BDA) installations These efforts aim to slow, spread, and sink stormwater higher in the watershed, improving base flows during summer months, reducing stream flashiness, and increasing habitat resilience. Lessons learned will guide larger-scale implementation across other Edmonds watersheds in future years. The overall project period is proposed to be 2026 through 2029, 3 ½ years, with maintenance extending to 2031. This Rose Foundation funding would fund Phase 1, the first 12 months. RECOMMENDATION: “I move to authorize the Mayor to sign the access agreement as presented.” BUDGET IMPACTS: Item 8.8 Packet pg. 182/425 No budget impact.

This project will employ low-tech, process-based restoration techniques supported by dedicated community volunteers. The primary methods include: ● Native vegetation planting for streambank stabilization ● Post-Assisted Log Structure (PALS)/Beaver Dam Analog (BDA) installations These efforts aim to slow, spread, and sink stormwater higher in the watershed, improving base flows during summer months, reducing stream flashiness, and increasing habitat resilience. Lessons learned will guide larger-scale implementation across other Edmonds watersheds in future years. The overall project period is proposed to be 2026 through 2029, 3 ½ years, with maintenance extending to 2031. This Rose Foundation funding would fund Phase 1, the first 12 months. Project Goals and Objectives ● Restore hydrologic balance by increasing water retention and infiltration. ● Stabilize eroding streambanks with deep-rooted native vegetation. ● Reduce stream flashiness and downstream erosion using PALS. ● Enhance ecological function and resilience in the Shell and Shellabarger Creek systems. ● Educate and engage citizen volunteers in hands-on restoration, maintenance, and monitoring. Work Process AASF will assume fiduciary responsibility along with grant and project management, with local Edmonds volunteers conducting the work. There will be monthly, one day, week-end work parties at the Shellabarger sites throughout the length of the grant. In addition, larger, community work parties will be held in the late fall each year to plant natives. Woody debris will be stockpiled by existing volunteer work Item 8.8 Packet pg. 185/425 parties in multiple Edmonds Parks as it becomes available. Weekly work parties during the summer in-water work window will perform the wood structure installations in Shellabarger and Shell Creek. Names of volunteers and work hours will be recorded at each event and submitted to AASF. Volunteer activities will be insured through AASF. Collaborators include AASF, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), the City of Edmonds and local volunteer stewardship programs. Work descriptions common to vegetation tasks 1, 2, 3, and 4. Goal: Stabilize eroding riparian zones using native plants to strengthen soils, reduce erosion, and enhance carbon storage. Approach: ● Replace grass and invasive vegetation (e.g., English ivy) with native shrubs, trees, and wetland plants. ● Prioritize species such as: o Willows (Pacific, Scouler’s, and Sitka) o Wetland shrubs—twinberry, ninebark, salmonberry, snowberry, and dogwood o Riparian trees and understory plants—Sitka spruce, sword fern, paper birch, Oregon ash, Oregon grape, and Cascara, red flowering currant, red elderberry, and mock orange ● Native plant cuttings will be used for many of these species Phase 1 Schedule: ● Planting and maintenance: Late Fall of 2026 and spring 2027 ● Invasive removal: Gradual expansion outward from planted zones as work occurs ● Monitoring annually, as future funding phases allow Work descriptions common to stream work tasks 6 and 7 (BDAs/PALS). Goal: Strengthen stream structure, reduce erosion, retain stormwater in upper watersheds, and restore channel stability through natural engineering techniques. Design & Permitting: ● Detailed design and site plans will be developed by volunteers and reviewed by AASF and WDFW. They will emphasize hydraulic resilience under high-flow conditions, focusing on scour and buoyant force impacts. ● Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) application will be drafted by volunteers, reviewed by AASF and signed by landowners, and submitted to WDFW. ● In-water work will occur during the July 1st – September 15th instream work window as specified by WDFW (2026 or 2027, pending permits). Maintenance: ● Post fall/winter storm inspections and repairs will be ongoing. ● New materials will be added as structures evolve to maintain function. Monitoring and Long-Term Stewardship Project success will be tracked through: ● Annual visual and photo monitoring ● Vegetation survival assessments ● Hydrologic and erosion observations ● Community engagement tracking Long-term maintenance and adaptive management will ensure structures and vegetation continue functioning effectively after major storm events. Community Involvement Volunteer networks are already mobilized: ● Edmonds Steward volunteers at Yost Park (Shell Creek) ● Local citizen teams active in upper and lower Shellabarger Creek sites ● Advertising in local papers and on-line will encourage community work parties. Item 8.8 Packet pg. 186/425 Task Descriptions: Lower Shellabarger Tasks 1 and 2. Riparian vegetation Both left and right banks will be planted with wetland/stream bank vegetation. The grassy area on the left bank is highly subject to erosion and channel migration. Native live staking will help stabilize this area. The right bank and steep slopes on both sides of the Creek are covered in English ivy. This will be replaced in a gradual process with more deeply rooted native shrubs and trees. Native revegetation will also occur in the downstream wetland area, focusing on willows. Item 8.8 Packet pg. 187/425 Upper Shellabarger Tasks 3 and 4. Riparian vegetation The grassy area is highly subject to erosion and channel migration. Native vegetation will stabilize the banks. Steep slopes on both sides of the Creek are covered in English ivy. This will be replaced in a gradual process with more deeply rooted native shrubs and trees. Task 5. Maintain an existing bank stabilization project. Sandbags and willow fascines were installation in Shellabarger Creek in the fall of 2025 under an expedited Hydraulics Project Approval. This temporary installation will be maintained and improved as needed. The plastic sandbags will be replaced with soil filled burlap planted through with willow stakes. Task 6. Beaver Dam Analog Beaver dam analogs (BDAs) are low-tech, channel-spanning structures designed to mimic the form and function of natural beaver dams using hand-built bioengineering techniques. They will consist of Item 8.8 Packet pg. 188/425 a foundation of wooden posts driven into the streambed, reinforced with woven vegetation and local materials to create a semi-porous barrier. Approximately half the posts will be live willow stakes to help create a more permanent structure. One 35’ long BDA will be installed on Shellabarger Creek. The dam will extend from historic bank to bank to reduce the potential for additional erosion. Construction steps will include: installing vertical untreated wooden posts in two rows perpendicular to the flow, spaced 2-3 feet apart; installing a brush mat of conifer branches; weaving horizontal branches between the posts; creating an apron downstream with branches to avoid plunge scour. Posts will be purchased and will be of high strength untreated wood with tapered bottoms. An AASF motorized post driver will be used to help ensure that posts are deeply embedded and able to resist hydrostatic forces. Wood for BDAs will come from local tree fall in Edmonds Parks and from nursery-sourced live stakes. Materials will be stockpiled throughout the year for installation during the summer work window. Site Plan: Item 8.8 Packet pg. 189/425 Shell Creek Task 7. Post-Assisted Log Structure Shell Creek has an eroding left bank where abandoned concrete dam has partially failed. A Post Assisted Log Structure (PALS) extending from the end of the dam to the bank (20’) will help direct flow back to original channel, reducing erosion and allowing previously-planted willows to fully mature and provide long-term erosion control. The construction elements include: large key logs on the stream bed; vertical, angled, driven posts; smaller branches woven between the posts to create a semi-permeable matrix; and a downstream apron of branches to resist downstream scour. The posts will be driven with an motorized post pounder. They will be angled to resist the upward buoyancy of submerged wood and will be placed in pairs two feet apart. Willows and other riparian vegetation will be planted on the eroding streambank to eventually provide permanent bank stabilization.

BUDGET: Total Dollar Amount:0.00 ☐ Approved in Budget Fund(s):General Fund ☐ Budget Reallocation Required ☒ No Budget Impact PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT: In 2020, Washington State raised the legal purchase age for cigarettes to 21. Additional updates were also made in 2023. The City of Edmonds City Code also contains specific ordinances related to the regulation of cigarette sales. The last update for these was 1989 and is no longer current. CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES: The police department rarely deals with enforcement of underage cigarette or liquor sales. In early 2026, after some complaints of possible underage sales, we discovered that our city code was out of compliance with the RCW updates that took place in 2020 and 2023. Our city code still restricts sales to anyone under the age of 18. The RCW updates increased that limit to 21 years of age. This city code update brings our existing statute in line with the state RCW (70.155). We normally seek to have RCW’s adopted by reference; however, this RCW section contains several sections that only apply to the State of Washington and cigarette regulations broadly. This city code update takes the applicable sections and brings us into compliance with the applicable sections of the RCW for the city to enforce. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached ordinance, amending Edmonds City Code (ECC) Chapter 5.15 regarding regulation of sale of tobacco products; ECC 5.46.070 regarding unlawful possession of cigarettes by a minor as part of the consent agenda. BUDGET IMPACTS: None ITEM HISTORY: The PSPHSP Committee approved this item to go to consent on 6/16/26. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Ordinance Amending ECC 5.15 Item 8.9 Packet pg. 193/425 ORDINANCE NO.

CITY CLERK, LUKE LONIE Item 8.9 Packet pg. 199/425 City Council Agenda Item 9.1 June 23, 2026 - Regular Meeting TITLE:Public Hearing for Park Impact Fee (PIF) Interim Ordinance Extension (Second Reading) DEPARTMENT:Parks, Recreation and Human Services PRESENTER:Angie Feser, Parks & Recreation Director NEEDED FROM COUNCIL:Action RECOMMENDATION:Conduct public hearing and consider the proposed six-month extension to the Park Impact Fee Interim Ordinance at the July 7th City Council meeting. BUDGET: Total Dollar Amount:0 Approved in Budget Fund(s):N/A Budget Reallocation Required No Budget Impact PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT: Changes to State RCW require revision of the city’s park impact fee calculations; in July 2025, the Council approved a 12-month interim ordinance to meet the State’s deadline. The city’s park impact fee program requires an in-depth update, last completed in 2015, and that project is in progress. However, the completed work will not be ready for the July 2026 ordinance expiration deadline. This request is to extend the Park Impact Fee interim ordinance for six months with an estimated completion by the end of 2026. CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES: The City of Edmonds has park impact fees intended to offset the impacts of new development on the city's park and transportation systems by providing capital funding for improvements, expansion or new construction of park and street facilities and infrastructure. (ECC) 36.06. These collected fees are restricted to increased capacity expenditures only and cannot be used for routine maintenance and operations. The fee charges are based on previously completed rate studies. In 2023 the State of Washington amended RCW 82.02 that now requires jurisdictions using impact fees to adopt fees which produce proportionately lower impact fees for smaller housing units. There are three options to calculate new residential housing fees including square footage, number of bedrooms or trips generated. The city’s park impact fee calculation needs to be revised based on the State's new requirement and a rate study update completed. Historically, park impact fees are based on flat rate fees based on housing unit type. In July of 2025 an interim ordinance was adopted by Council which revised the rate calculation to use square footage to comply with new state code requirements. In changing the calculation approach an update of the city's Park Impact Fees study should be completed since the original study was done in 2013 with a minor revision in 2015. It is recommended this program be updated on a regular basis to remain current with inflation and changing park development costs. The interim ordinance adoption occurred on July 22, 2025, a budget amendment approved on April 7, 2026, to fund the project and a consultant selected and contracted. Even with this progress, the full update and city code revision will not be completed by July 22, 2026, ordinance expiration deadline and therefore, an extension is requested. Alternatives: 1. Council approves the Park Impact Fee interim ordinance extension; the study and code revision work continues. 2. Council does not approve the Park Impact Fee interim ordinance extension, and the interim ordinance expires July 22, 2026. RECOMMENDATION: Council conduct a Public Hearing on June 23, 2026 and consider approving this extension of the Park Impact Fee interim ordinance during the July 7, 2026 regular council meeting. BUDGET IMPACTS: No direct budget impact resulting from the extension. Council approved spending authority of $60,000 to implement the Park Impact Fee (PIF) study during an April 7, 2026 budget amendment. ITEM HISTORY: July 15, 2025 Interim Ordinance introduced to City Council July 22, 2025 Interim Ordinance approved by City Council August 19, 2025 City Council conducted Public Hearing on Interim Ordinance April 7, 2026 City Council approved budget amended for Park Impact Fee study update funding June 16, 2026 Interim Ordinance Extension presented to Council Parks & Public Works Committee ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: ATTACHMENTS: 1.

The city of Edmonds has conducted extensive studies documenting the procedures for measuring the impact of new developments on public facilities, has prepared the rate study and procedures guide for park impact fees, has prepared the rate study and procedures guide for transportation impact fees, and hereby incorporates these studies into this title by reference. Therefore, pursuant to Chapter 82.02 RCW, the council adopts the ordinance codified in this chapter to assess impact fees for parks and streets. The provisions of this chapter shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the purposes of the council in establishing the impact fee program. These fees can and will only be applied to projects resulting from city-wide development growth. These fees cannot be used to mitigate existing shortfalls of the park system or street system.

B. Low-income housing units shall be exempt from paying eighty percent of the transportation traffic impact fees to the extent the units satisfy this subsection. Such exemption shall be conditioned upon the developer recording a covenant that prohibits using the low-income housing units for any purpose other than for low-income housing.

The lien against the property shall be subordinate only to the lien for general taxes. In the event that the development is no longer used for low-income rental housing, the owner shall pay the city the impact fee from which the owner or any prior owner was exempt, plus interest at the statutory rate. Any claim for an exemption for low-income owner occupied housing must be made no later than the time of application for a building permit. Any claim not so made shall be deemed waivedCD.

A. If in the judgment of the director, none of the fee categories or fee amounts set forth in ECC 3.36.120 and/or 3.36.125 accurately describe or capture the impacts of a new development on parks and/or streets, the department may ask the applicant to conduct independent fee calculations and the director may impose alternative fees on a specific development based on those calculations. The alternative fees and the calculations shall be set forth in writing and shall be agreed to by the director and the feepayer. The documentation submitted shall show the basis upon which the independent fee calculation was made. B. Any feepayer submitting an independent fee calculation will be required to pay the city of Edmonds a fee to cover the cost of reviewing the independent fee calculation. A fee is required by the city for conducting the review of the independent fee calculation plus the actual cost of outside consultant review if required by the city, unless otherwise established by the director, and shall be paid by the feepayer prior to initiation of review. C. While there is a presumption that the calculations set forth in the rate study are valid, the director shall consider the documentation submitted by the feepayer, but is not required to accept such documentation or analysis which the director reasonably deems to be inaccurate or not reliable, and may, in the alternative, require the feepayer to submit additional or different documentation for consideration. The director is authorized to adjust the impact fees on a case- by-case basis based on the independent fee calculation, the specific characteristics of the development, and/or principles of fairness. The fees or alternative fees and the calculations shall be set forth in writing and shall be mailed to the feepayer. D. Determinations made by the director pursuant to this section may be appealed to the office of the hearing examiner as set forth in ECC 3.36.070. [Ord. 4037 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3934 § 1 (Exh. A), 2013]. 3.36.140 Existing authority unimpaired. Nothing in this chapter shall preclude the city from requiring the feepayer or the proponent of a development activity to mitigate adverse environmental impacts of a specific development pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act, Chapter 43.21C RCW, based on the environmental documents accompanying the underlying development approval process, and/or Chapter 58.17 RCW, governing plats and subdivisions; provided, that the exercise of this authority is consistent with the provisions of Chapters 43.21C and 82.02 RCW. [Ord. 4037 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3934 § 1 (Exh. A), 2013]. 3.36.150 Procedures guide. The director is authorized to develop a procedures guide to facilitate the city’s administration and enforcement of this chapter. The procedures guide shall be consistent with the provisions of this chapter, shall be for the sole convenience of the city, and shall not vest any rights in or for any other person. [Ord. 4037 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3934 § 1 (Exh. A), 2013]. Item 9.1 Packet pg. 218/425 -12 - 3.36.160 Deferral system for single-family residences. A. An applicant for a building permit for a single-family detached or attached residence may request a deferral of the full impact fee payment until final inspection. The building official may withhold certification of final inspection until the impact fees have been paid in full. B. The amount of impact fees that may be deferred under this section must be determined by the fees in effect at the time the applicant applies for a deferral. C. The term of an impact fee deferral under this section may not exceed 18 months from the date of building permit issuance. D. An applicant seeking a deferral under this section must grant and record a deferred impact fee lien against the property in favor of the city in the amount of the deferred impact fee. The deferred impact fee lien, which must include the legal description, tax account number, and address of the property, must also be: 1. In a form approved by the city attorney; 2. Signed by all owners of the property, as demonstrated by a current title report, with all signatures acknowledged as required for a deed; 3. Recorded with the Snohomish County auditor’s office; 4. Binding on all successors in title after the recordation; and 5. Junior and subordinate to one mortgage for the purpose of construction upon the same real property granted by the person who applied for the deferral of impact fees. E. If impact fees are not paid in accordance with a deferral authorized by this section, the city may institute foreclosure proceedings in accordance with Chapter 61.12 RCW. F. In addition to the administrative fee collected pursuant to ECC 3.36.030(B)(5), the city shall collect an additional reasonable administrative fee to implement this section from permit applicants who are seeking to delay the payment of impact fees under this section. The amount of the administrative fee shall be established and updated from time to time by resolution of the city council. G. The section shall be construed to be consistent with state law and RCW 82.02.050, in particular. [Ord. 4037 § 1 (Att. A), 2016]. Section 3. Severability. If any section, subsection, clause, sentence, or phrase of this ordinance should be held invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. Section 4. Effective Date. This ordinance, being an administrative function of the city council, is not subject to referendum and shall not take effect until five (5) days after passage and publication of an approved summary thereof consisting of the title, PROVIDED THAT, in no case shall the ordinance take effect before July 1, 2026.

BUDGET: Total Dollar Amount:0 Approved in Budget Fund(s):0 Budget Reallocation Required No Budget Impact PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT: House Bill 2239, passed by the Washington State Legislature in March 2026, amends state laws regarding the disposition of human remains to allow for the creation of family burial grounds on private property. Prior to the state legislation taking effect on June 11, 2026, City Council approved on June 2 an interim ordinance prohibiting family burial grounds for six months to allow more time for permanent regulations to be developed and discussed. CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES: The Legislature first discussed family burial grounds in 2023 when the House passed HB 1037. That bill was not signed into law, but the topic was taken up again during subsequent sessions and the current law was signed on March 24, 2026. Staff became aware of of the legislation in late April. The following key provisions of HB 2239 apply throughout Washington State. Family Burial Grounds: By definition, "family burial ground" means an area of privately owned land that is designated for the interment of human remains, and in which interments may be, but are not required to be, restricted to a group of persons who are related to each other by birth, marriage, or adoption. The definition includes mausoleums and columbaria constructed on a family burial ground. Local Regulation: Cities are authorized to enact ordinances regulating or prohibiting the establishment of family burial grounds. No Fees Allowed: A property owner may not offer plots at a family burial ground for sale or charge fees in connection with the burials. Dimensional Minimums: Family burial grounds cannot comprise more than 10% of the parcel on which it is located and must be set back at least 25 feet from any property line, 100 feet from public rights-of-way or access easements, and 150 feet from designated critical areas. •Construction: A mausoleum, columbarium or similar structure must be built to Class A fireproof construction. [In Edmonds, that structure would be considered to be a detached accessory structure with a maximum height of 15 feet.] •Reporting: Within 30 days of internment, the property owner would have to record the internment with the Snohomish County Auditor as well as the Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation. •Relocation: Remains may be relocated to or from cemeteries and family burial grounds with appropriate permissions. •Disclosure: Before selling a property with a family burial ground, the property owner must inform buyers and disclose the existence of the family burial ground in the seller's disclosure statement. •Remediation: Property owners must remediate, at their own expense, any violations of provisions regarding the construction of structures within the burial ground. RECOMMENDATION: Consistent with RCW 35A.63.220, take public testimony on the interim ordinance for family burial grounds adopted on June 2, 2026. Any input received will inform the draft permanent regulations for family burial grounds that staff will develop with the Planning Board and Council during the six-month interim period. BUDGET IMPACTS: None ITEM HISTORY: The topic was introduced to the PSPHSP Committee on May 19, 2026, and to full Council on May 26, 2026. On June 2, 2026, Council approved a six-month interim ordinance prohibiting family burial grounds and scheduled the required public hearing for June 23, 2026. The unsigned draft of that ordinance is included as Attachment 4. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: A summary of the bill is included as Attachment 1 while the session law is in Attachment 2. Attachment 3 is a very rough map to give some idea of where family burial grounds might be able to be located in one area of Edmonds using the base dimensional standards in HB 2239, including lack of critical areas. The parcels with red clouds are potentially subdividable while the parcels with blue clouds are not – those parcels are simply large enough to satisfy the dimensional standards. If family burial grounds are allowed in Edmonds, it may make sense to distinguish between subdividable and nonsubdividable parcels since subdividable parcels will certainly be redeveloped in the future. That said, any of the parcels on the map could now host up to two detached accessory dwelling units so further development on all of the parcels on the map could be expected in the future, regardless of whether they are subdividable. While family burial grounds would seem reasonable on larger, rural, parcels such as farms that have been family-owned for generations, it is uncertain why the Legislature also provided for them in more dense urban areas. Council will need to consider whether family burial grounds will restrict future infill housing opportunities and whether that is consistent with the goals, policies and targets for housing in the Comprehensive Plan, including for middle housing and ADUs.

Sponsors: House Committee on Civil Rights & Judiciary (originally sponsored by Representatives Abell, Bernbaum, Chase, Simmons, Walsh, Burnett and Engell). House Committee on Civil Rights & Judiciary Senate Committee on Law & Justice Background: Disposition of Human Remains on Private Land. State law defines "human remains" as the body of a deceased person, in any stage of decomposition, as well as the remains following cremation, alkaline hydrolysis, or natural organic reduction. Disposition of human remains after cremation, alkaline hydrolysis, or natural organic reduction may occur on private lands with the consent of the property owner. Otherwise, it is a misdemeanor to dispose of any human remains in any place except a building dedicated exclusively for religious purposes or a cemetery, such as a burial park for earth interments, a mausoleum for crypt interments, and a columbarium for permanent niche interments. State Law Governing Private Cemeteries. Private cemeteries are governed as "cemetery authorities," meaning entities that either hold a certificate of authority from the Funeral and Cemetery Board (Board) or operate cemeteries that are outside the Board's jurisdiction. In order to operate a private cemetery, an individual or legal entity must form a corporation and obtain a cemetery license from the Board, which administers and enforces state law related to operations of cemeteries. A private cemetery is subject to various requirements related to cemetery property and endowment care fund requirements. This analysis was prepared by non-partisan legislative staff for the use of legislative members in their deliberations. This analysis is not part of the legislation nor does it constitute a statement of legislative intent. SHB 2239- 1 -House Bill Report Item 9.2 Packet pg. 225/425 Relocation of Human Remains from a Cemetery Plot. Human remains may be removed from a cemetery plot with the consent of the cemetery authority and the written consent of a surviving family member of the decedent in the following order: surviving spouse or state-registered domestic partner; surviving children; surviving parents; and surviving siblings. If the required consent cannot be obtained, permission from the superior court is sufficient. Local Government Regulation of Private Cemeteries. In addition to state law, private cemeteries may be subject to local regulations. Tax Exemptions for Cemeteries. All lands, buildings, and personal property used exclusively for public burial grounds or cemeteries that do not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, or ancestry are exempt from taxation. The Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. The Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) is responsible for the study and preservation of the state's archaeological and historical resources. State law requires the DAHP to maintain a centralized database and geographic information systems spatial layer of all known cemeteries and burial sites in Washington. Summary: Establishing a Family Burial Ground. A natural person may designate an area of land the person owns as a "family burial ground," defined as an area of private land designated for the burial of human remains, and in which interment may be, but is not required to be, restricted to a group of persons who are related to each other by birth, marriage, or adoption. "Family burial ground" includes any mausoleums or columbaria constructed on a family burial ground. If a property is co-owned by two or more persons, written consent of all co-owners is required before a family burial ground may be established on the property. A family burial ground may not be established on property co-owned by a combination of natural persons and legal entities. A family burial ground may not comprise more than 10 percent of the parcel and is subject to specified setback requirements. The property owner may not offer plots in the family burial ground for sale or charge fees in connection with the burials. Before selling the property, the property owner must inform buyers and disclose the existence of the family burial ground in the seller's disclosure statement. Mausoleums and Columbaria on a Family Burial Ground. A mausoleum, columbarium, or similar structure constructed on a family burial ground SHB 2239- 2 -House Bill Report Item 9.2 Packet pg. 226/425 must be constructed with such material and workmanship as to ensure its durability and permanence and must be of class A fireproof construction. A mausoleum, columbarium, or similar structure must also be constructed and installed in compliance with all applicable building permitting laws, public health laws, and laws governing class A construction. A violation of these requirements is a civil infraction. Reporting Interments in a Family Burial Ground. Within 30 days of an interment in the family burial ground, the owner must record the interment with the county auditor and provide specified information about the deceased person and the location of the grave, mausoleum, or columbarium. The property owner must also report each interment to the DAHP. Relocation of Human Remains from a Family Burial Ground. A property owner may relocate human remains from a family burial ground on their property with the written consent of one of the following surviving family members of the decedent, in the order named: surviving spouse or state-registered domestic partner; surviving children; surviving parents; or surviving siblings. The consenting family member has the right to designate another lawful place for disposition of human remains in which the relocated human remains will be reinterred. If the property owner is unable to obtain consent for relocation of remains from a surviving family member, the property owner may petition the superior court for an order authorizing the relocation. In cases where the relocation is authorized by the superior court, the property owner has the right to designate another lawful place in which the relocated remains will be reinterred. However, in designating a place, the property owner must make all reasonable efforts to consult with any surviving family members. Upon obtaining the required consent or court authorization, the property owner must obtain a permit from the DAHP to disinter the human remains from the family burial ground and to reinter the remains in another lawful place. Local Government Regulation of Family Burial Grounds. Cities and counties are authorized to enact ordinances regulating or prohibiting the establishment of family burial grounds. Cities, towns, and counties must prescribe local procedures to ensure the owner of the property on which a family burial ground is located remediates, at the owner's expense, any violation of the provisions governing the construction and installation of mausoleums, columbaria, and similar structures on a family burial ground. Other Provisions. Family burial grounds are included as a lawful place for disposition of human remains, along with cemeteries. Family burial grounds are also exempt from the cemetery licensing requirement and are not subject to the authority of the Board.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, ESTABLISHING AN INTERIM REGULATION TO PROHIBIT FAMILY BURIAL GROUNDS WITHIN THE CITY ON A TEMPORARY BASIS WHEREAS, during the 2026 legislative session, the Washington Legislature adopted Substitute House Bill 2239, enacted as Chapter 173, Laws of 2026, relating to family burial grounds on privately owned property; and WHEREAS, SHB 2239 becomes effective on June 11, 2026, and establishes a new statutory framework under which family burial grounds may be established on privately owned property, subject to the requirements and limitations set forth in state law; and WHEREAS, SHB 2239 reflects the Legislature’s intent to provide greater flexibility and options for individuals and families in choosing places of interment and to honor individual and family connectivity with land; and WHEREAS, SHB 2239 also recognizes that local governments may regulate family burial grounds through applicable official controls, and the City Council finds that the City has not yet had adequate time to evaluate whether, where, and under what conditions family burial grounds should be allowed within the City; and WHEREAS, the City’s existing zoning, nuisance, public health, and other regulations were not drafted with family burial grounds in mind and do not presently contain standards specifically addressing the siting, review, operation, maintenance, disclosure, mapping, access, setbacks, buffers, recordkeeping, or long-term protection of family burial grounds; and WHEREAS, the establishment of family burial grounds may raise public welfare issues that differ from ordinary residential or accessory uses; and WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that, absent interim controls, property owners may seek to establish family burial grounds before the City has adopted appropriate permanent regulations, thereby creating vested or established uses that could frustrate or impair the City’s ability to adopt effective local standards; and WHEREAS, the City Council does not intend by this ordinance to reject or preclude the policy choices reflected in SHB 2239, but instead intends to preserve the status quo for a limited period while the City evaluates appropriate local regulations consistent with state law; and WHEREAS, temporary prohibition of new family burial grounds is necessary to allow the City to review SHB 2239, evaluate the City’s existing development regulations, consider potential local standards, and conduct appropriate public process; and Item 9.2 Packet pg. 254/425 WHEREAS, RCW 36.70A.390 authorizes the City to adopt an interim official control, provided that a public hearing is held within at least sixty days if the control is adopted without a prior public hearing, and further provides that such controls may be effective for up to six months unless extended or renewed as provided by law; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that an interim official control temporarily prohibiting the establishment, creation, expansion, or use of property as a family burial ground is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Prohibition of Family Burial Grounds. Section 16.00.030 of the Edmonds Community Development Code, which currently shows as a repealed code section, shall henceforth be entitled “Family burial grounds prohibited” and shall read as follows: “No person may establish, create, expand, or otherwise use their property for a family burial ground, as defined in SHB 2239, within the City.” Section 2. Duration of Interim Regulations. As long as the City holds a public hearing on the interim regulations, the interim regulations shall not terminate until six months after the effective date of this ordinance, unless it is repealed sooner.

CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES: HB 1757 detailed exceptions to energy code requirements for existing buildings when those buildings or portions of them are being converted to dwelling units or having additional dwelling units added. By state mandate, Edmonds has adopted the Washington State Energy Codes, both residential and commercial editions by reference under ECDC 19.30. It is not typical for a jurisdiction to modify the state mandated energy codes, as the state has barriers in place that prevent or limit a jurisdiction’s ability to do so. The exceptions to the energy codes outlined in HB 1757 will be the first amendments Edmonds has made to the energy codes, and they are only being made to conform with the requirements of HB 1757. Those exceptions include a waiving of energy code requirements when a space being converted to a dwelling unit is below an established area threshold and if alternative energy performance metrics to the baseline energy code are met. As HB 1757 mandated that exceptions to the energy codes be incorporated in development regulations, in addition to the new exceptions, the sections being amended have been included in ECDC 19.30 for context. The ordinance outlines the specific exceptions being added to the code, all other code language is already adopted by reference, just not previously shown in ECDC 19.30. RECOMMENDATION: “I move to approve an Ordinance adopting Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Section 19.30.010 regarding state energy code amendments; providing for severability; and setting an effective date.” Item 10.2 Packet pg. 287/425 BUDGET IMPACTS: N/A ITEM HISTORY: This item was previously discussed at the May 19th PSPHSP committee meeting along with the zoning components included in HB 1757, which will be brought before Council at a later date. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Attachment 1 is the draft ordinance to amend ECDC 19.30 in response to HB 1757. Attachment 2 is the amended ECDC Title 19. Attachment 3 is the session law for HB 1757 and attachment 4 is the final bill report for HB 1757. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Draft Ordinance Amending ECDC 19.30 2. Title 19 – Energy Code Updates 3.

Section 105.3.4, Concurrent Review, is added and reads: An applicant may submit an application for building permit approval and request plan review services concurrently with, or at any time following, the submittal of a complete application for any necessary or required discretionary permit approval or discretionary hearing; provided, that any building permit application submitted concurrently with an application for discretionary permit or approvals shall not be considered complete unless the applicant submits a signed statement, on a form approved by the director, which acknowledges that the building permit application is subject to any conditions or requirements imposed pursuant to the review and approval of any necessary or required discretionary permit or approvals. The applicant shall solely bear the risk of building permit submittal with discretionary permit approval. If, after discretionary approval, the building permit plans are modified or amended to comply with conditions or restrictions required by any discretionary permit or approval, the applicant shall be solely responsible for any and all costs which result therefrom, including but not limited to additional full plan review fees; provided further, that any applicant-initiated changes made after the original plan review is complete shall also require payment of full plan review fees.

Permit fees shall be charged at a rate of one quarter the original building permit fee to extend the permit. 4. The maximum amount of time any building permit may be extended shall be a total of three (3) years. At the end of any three (3) year period starting from the original date of permit issuance, the permit shall become null and void and a new building permit shall be required, with full permit fees, in order for the applicant to complete work. The voiding of the prior permit shall negate all previous vesting of zoning or Building codes.

Whenever an appeal is filed and a necessary development approval is stayed in accordance with ECDC 20.06.030 the time limit periods imposed under this section shall also be stayed until final decision. 5. If a permit expired without final inspection and no further work was performed during the expiration period, the building official may authorize a 30-day extension to an expired permit for the purpose of performing a final inspection and closing out the permit as long as not more than 6 months has passed since the permit expired. The 30-day extension would commence on the date of written approval. If work required under a final inspection is not completed within the 30-day extension period, the permit shall expire. However, the building official may authorize an additional 30-day extension if conditions outside of the applicant's control exist and the applicant is making a good faith effort to complete the permitted work. 7. The building official may reject requests for permit extension where he or she determines that modifications or amendments to the applicable zoning and Building codes have occurred since the original issuance of the permit and/or modifications or amendments would significantly promote public health and safety if applied to the project through the issuance of a new permit.

In addition to the vesting rights created by RCW 19.27.095 and ECDC 19.00.015, an applicant for development as defined in ECDC 20.10.010 and subject to architectural design board (ADB) review may, at the applicant’s option, file a fully complete augmented architectural design review application (hereinafter “augmented ADB application”) and vest rights including applicable building permit, development and impact fees under the provisions of the ECDC Item 10.2 Packet pg. 310/425 Edmonds Chapter 19.00 BUILDING CODE Page 11/84 The Edmonds City Code and Community Development Code proposed updates to Edmonds Building Code March 2024. and the State Building Code as adopted and amended by the city of Edmonds, and this title as then in effect, to, but only to, the extent that the application provides full and detailed information necessary to confirm the particular regulation to be vested. The burden is on the applicant to provide such detail. A. A fully complete, augmented application for architectural design review shall consist of a complete application for architectural design review, executed by each and every property owner of record of the development site or their duly authorized agent(s), accompanied by the following: 1. All fees required by ordinance, including impact mitigation fees, to be deposited at the time such State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requirements become final. 2. A site plan showing the current zoning of the development site, the footprint of all proposed structures, the total square footage and use of each floor, all setbacks required by either the zoning code or state building codes, proposed parking configurations, and exits. 3. Elevation drawings showing the original grade of the site, any proposed alterations to grade, the proposed height of the structure and the number of stories. 4. A letter executed by all owners of record or their duly authorized agent(s) detailing the proposed use in sufficient detail to determine whether the proposed use complies with the zoning code then in effect and with the building code then in effect to determine type of construction and occupancy classifications of the IBC and IFC as those codes are then in effect. 5. A building permit application, as described in IBC Section 105.3 as the same exists or is hereafter amended, and all building permit and plan review fees as established and set forth in Chapter 19.70 ECDC; provided, that the plans required by IBC Section 107, as the same exists or is hereafter amended, and other engineering documents, plans or drawings required by ECDC Title 18 may be submitted within 90 days of final ADB approval, or final approval on appeal. B. Upon filing of the augmented ADB application, the applicant shall be deemed fully vested as if a fully complete building permit application had been filed; provided: 1. The burden shall be upon the applicant to supply all material required by the provisions of this section and as necessary to meet the requirements of Chapter 20.10 ECDC. The applicant may supplement the original application in the event an application is deemed incomplete by the planning and development director or designee. Vesting shall occur only when the application is deemed complete by the planning and development director. Failure to supplement an incomplete application within 90 days of final ADB approval shall result in forfeiture of all fees paid and no vesting right shall attach. 2. The application shall expire along with all rights vested 6 months following the date of application if final architectural design approval is not received. a. The planning and development director or designee may issue an extension for an additional period, not exceeding 180 days, upon written request by the applicant(s) or their agent(s). Such request for extension shall be filed prior to the expiration of the original application time period. An extension shall be granted if the architectural design board has not yet considered the application or an appeal thereof is pending. b.

It is anticipated that minor adjustments and changes are usually required to the plans submitted as a result of the plan review and administrative process. The following changes shall not be considered “minor” and shall forfeit vesting rights, and shall require the filing of a new application: Item 10.2 Packet pg. 311/425 Edmonds Chapter 19.00 BUILDING CODE Page 12/84 The Edmonds City Code and Community Development Code proposed updates to Edmonds Building Code March 2024. a.

C. The rights vested by ECDC 19.00.025(I) (Section 105.3.3 of IBC as amended) and this section refer only to zoning and building code rights protected by RCW 19.27.095. D. These sections shall not be interpreted to create vesting rights not protected by RCW 19.27.095 and shall not be interpreted as a further limitation on the administrative obligations and legislative powers of the city. By way of illustration and not limitation, this chapter does not limit: 1. The city council’s authority to create local improvement districts. 2. The city council’s authority to legislate life safety requirements that are not required to recognize existing vested rights. 3. Environmental and shorelines review and mitigation procedures.

Existing legal nonconforming churches, synagogues, mosques and other buildings used for religious observance (hereinafter “church” or “churches”) are hereby excluded from any requirement of the State Building Code which would be triggered by a change of use as specifically limited and set forth herein: A. This change in use exclusion is limited solely to a change in use for the provision of emergency housing to the homeless and other indigent persons. The term “emergency” shall mean the housing of indigent and homeless persons when the ambient temperature is forecast by the National Weather Service to be below 33 degrees for a four-hour overnight period or when wind chill, violent storms or other inclement conditions present a direct threat to the lives of homeless and other indigent persons without shelter. Such danger could include, but is not limited to, the threat presented by carbon monoxide poisoning for persons attempting to take shelter in cars or other vehicles with the motor running. B. In order to claim this exclusion, a church shall: 1. Be a legal nonconforming structure prior to the provision of emergency housing for the homeless and indigent. In the alternative, a church may establish that it has previously provided overnight housing to members of its congregation or the public in emergencies, for educational, religious or other purposes. 2. Maintain a “fire watch.” The term “fire watch” shall mean the maintenance during all times when indigent housing services are provided of a watch by paid staff or volunteers who shall, on premises, monitor for fires or violations of no smoking prohibitions. At least one fire monitor shall be provided for each eight persons housed. 3. Provide an operational smoke detection system. 4. Prohibit the smoking of tobacco or similar products on the premises and prohibit the use of any open flame in the area in which the homeless or indigent persons are temporarily housed. 5. Maintain clear and unobstructed means of egress. Exits must not be locked in the direction of egress unless a special egress control device is installed in accordance with the building code. C. The application of this exclusion is intended to fulfill the city’s obligation to provide flexibility and consider reasonable alternatives in the application of the rigid requirements of the State Building Code. The building official Item 10.2 Packet pg. 312/425 Edmonds Chapter 19.00 BUILDING CODE Page 13/84 The Edmonds City Code and Community Development Code proposed updates to Edmonds Building Code March 2024. is directed to avoid technical inflexibility, to consider the use of any reasonable alternative which would provide the minimum protections required either under the State Building Code or this exclusion and to be flexible when considering alternative approaches to the specific requirements set forth above. All decisions by the building official shall be in writing and articulate the public interest to be served as well as an analysis of the alternatives. D. These provisions are for the purpose of providing for and promoting the health, safety and welfare of the general public. See Chapter 19.90 ECDC, Limitation of Benefited and Protected Classes. [Ord. 4212 § 1 (Att. A), 2021; Ord. 4029 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3926 § 1 (Exh. A), 2013; Ord. 3796 § 1, 2010]. 19.00.045 Reconstruction of damaged buildings. For any structure that is destroyed, damaged or demolished in an amount equal to 75 percent or more of its replacement cost at the time of destruction, the reconstruction shall be considered to be under the category of “new” construction. Determination of replacement costs and the level of destruction shall be made by the building official and shall be appealable as a Type II staff decision under the provisions of Chapter 20.06 ECDC. The “new” construction will be subject to all applicable requirements of the Edmonds Community Development Code for a new building, including but not limited to zoning, utilities and site-related features; provided, that Chapter 17.40 ECDC also applies to certain requirements for nonconforming buildings and uses.

B. “Area of special flood hazard” means the land in the floodplain within a community subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year. It is shown on the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) as zone A, AO, AH, A1-30, AE, A99, or AR (V, VO, V1-30, VE). “Special flood hazard area” is synonymous in meaning with the phrase “area of special flood hazard.” C. “Base flood” means the flood having a one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (also referred to as the “100-year flood”). D. “Base flood elevation (BFE)” means the elevation to which floodwater is anticipated to rise during the base flood. E. “Basement” means any area of the building having its floor sub-grade (below ground level) on all sides. F. “Coastal high hazard area” means an area of special flood hazard extending from offshore to the inland limit of a primary frontal dune along an open coast and any other area subject to high velocity wave action from storms or seismic sources. The area is designated on the FIRM as zone V1-30, VE or V. G. “Development” means any manmade change to improved or unimproved real estate, including but not limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations or storage of equipment or materials located within the area of special flood hazard. H. “Elevation certificate” means an administrative tool of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that can be used to provide elevation information, to determine the proper insurance premium rate, and to support a request for a letter of map amendment (LOMA) or letter of map revision based on fill (LOMR-F). I. “Flood or flooding” means: 1. A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of normally dry land areas from: a. The overflow of inland or tidal waters. b. The unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source. c. Mudslides (i.e., mudflows) which are proximately caused by flooding as defined in subsection (I)(1)(b) of this section and are akin to a river of liquid and flowing mud on the surfaces of normally dry land areas, as when earth is carried by a current of water and deposited along the path of the current. 2. The collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or other body of water as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels or suddenly caused by an unusually high water level in a natural body of water, accompanied by a severe storm, or by an unanticipated force of nature, such as flash flood or an abnormal tidal surge, or by some similarly unusual and unforeseeable event which results in flooding as defined in subsection (I)(1)(a) of this section. Item 10.2 Packet pg. 319/425 Edmonds Chapter 19.07 FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION Page 19/84 The Edmonds City Code and Community Development Code proposed updates to Edmonds Building Code March 2024. J. “Flood elevation study” means an examination, evaluation and determination of flood hazards and, if appropriate, corresponding water surface elevations, or an examination, evaluation and determination of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) and/or flood-related erosion hazards. Also known as a flood insurance study (FIS). K. “Flood insurance rate map (FIRM)” means the official map of a community, on which the Federal Insurance Administrator has delineated both the special hazard areas and the risk premium zones applicable to the community. A FIRM that has been made available digitally is called a digital flood insurance rate map (DFIRM). L. “Floodplain” or “flood-prone area” means any land area susceptible to being inundated by water from any source. See “Flood or flooding.” M. Floodplain Administrator. The building official is designated to administer and enforce the floodplain management regulations. N. “Floodplain management regulations” means zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, building codes, health regulations, special purpose ordinances (such as floodplain ordinance, grading ordinance and erosion control ordinance) and other application of police power. The term describes such state or local regulations, in any combination thereof, which provide standards for the purpose of flood damage prevention and reduction. O. “Floodproofing” means any combination of structural and nonstructural additions, changes, or adjustments to structures which reduce or eliminate risk of flood damage to real estate or improved real property, water and sanitary facilities, structures, and their contents. Floodproofed structures are those that have the structural integrity and design to be impervious to floodwater below the base flood elevation. P. “Functionally dependent use” means a use which cannot perform its intended purpose unless it is located or carried out in close proximity to water. The term includes only docking facilities, port facilities that are necessary for the loading and unloading of cargo or passengers, and ship building and ship repair facilities, and does not include long term storage or related manufacturing facilities. Q. “Habitat assessment” means a written document that describes a project, identifies and analyzes the project’s impacts to habitat for species discussed in the “Endangered Species Act – Section 7 Consultation Final Biological Opinion and Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act Essential Fish Habitat Consultation for the Implementation of the National Flood Insurance Program in the State of Washington, Phase One Document – Puget Sound Region,” and provides an effects determination.

T. “Lowest floor” means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (including basement). An unfinished or flood resistant enclosure, usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access, or storage in an area other than a basement area, is not considered a building’s lowest floor; provided, that such enclosure is not built so as to render the structure in violation of the applicable nonelevation design requirements of this chapter (i.e., provided there are adequate flood ventilation openings). U. “Manufactured home” means a structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when attached to the required utilities. The term “manufactured home” does not include a “recreational vehicle.” V. “Mean sea level” means, for purposes of the National Flood Insurance Program, the vertical datum to which base flood elevations shown on a community’s flood insurance rate map are referenced. W. “New construction” means, for the purposes of determining insurance rates, structures for which the “start of construction” commenced on or after the effective date of an initial flood insurance rate map or after December 31, 1974, whichever is later, and includes any subsequent improvements to such structures. For floodplain management purposes, “new construction” means structures for which the “start of construction” commenced on or after the effective date of a floodplain management regulation adopted by a community and includes any subsequent improvements to such structures. X. “Start of construction” includes substantial improvement and means the date the building permit was issued, provided the actual start of construction, repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, placement, or other improvement was within 180 days from the date of the permit. The actual start means either the first placement of permanent construction of a structure on a site, such as the pouring of slab or footings, the installation of piles, the construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation; or the placement of a manufactured home on a foundation. Permanent construction does not include land preparation, such as clearing, grading, and filling; nor does it include the installation of streets and/or walkways; nor does it include excavation for a basement, footings, piers, or foundations or the erection of temporary forms; nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings, such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main structure. For a substantial improvement, the actual start of construction means the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of a building, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building. Y. “Structure” means, for floodplain management purposes, a walled and roofed building, including a gas or liquid storage tank, that is principally above ground, as well as a manufactured home. Z. “Substantial damage” means damage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its before damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the replacement cost of the structure before the damage occurred. AA. “Substantial improvement” means any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the “start of construction” of the improvement. This term includes structures which have incurred “substantial damage,” regardless of the actual repair work performed. The term does not include any alteration of a “historic structure,” provided that the alteration will not preclude the structure’s continued designation as a “historic structure.” BB. “Variance” means a grant of relief by a community from the terms of a floodplain management regulation. CC. “Water surface elevation” means the height, in relation to the vertical datum utilized in the applicable flood insurance study of floods of various magnitudes and frequencies in the floodplains of coastal or riverine areas.

G. Repair of an existing, functional bulkhead in the same location and footprint with the same materials when the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) is still outside of the face of the bulkhead (i.e., if the work qualifies for a Corps exemption from Section 404 coverage). [Ord. 4199 § 1 (Att. A), 2020]. 19.07.060 Review of building permits. Where elevation data is not available either through the FIS, FIRM, or from another authoritative source (ECDC 19.07.025(C)(2)), applications for floodplain development shall be reviewed to assure that proposed construction will be reasonably safe from flooding. The test of reasonableness is a local judgment and includes use of historical data, high water marks, photographs of past flooding, etc., where available. [Ord. 4199 § 1 (Att. A), 2020]. 19.07.065 Changes to special flood hazard areas (SFHA). A. If a project will alter the BFE or boundaries of the SFHA, then the project proponent shall provide the community with engineering documentation and analysis regarding the proposed change. If the change to the BFE or boundaries of the SFHA would normally require a letter of map change, then the project proponent shall initiate, and receive approval of, a conditional letter of map revision (CLOMR) prior to approval of the development permit. The project shall be constructed in a manner consistent with the approved CLOMR. B. If a CLOMR application is made, then the project proponent shall also supply the full CLOMR documentation package to the floodplain administrator to be attached to the floodplain development permit, including all required property owner notifications. [Ord. 4199 § 1 (Att. A), 2020]. Item 10.2 Packet pg. 324/425 Edmonds Chapter 19.07 FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION Page 24/84 The Edmonds City Code and Community Development Code proposed updates to Edmonds Building Code March 2024. 19.07.070 Anchoring.

All new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of the adopted IBC, IRC, Appendix (IBC) G, and ASCE 24. [Ord. 4199 § 1 (Att. A), 2020]. 19.07.110 Variance. A. General. The variance criteria set forth in this section are based on the general principle of zoning law that variances pertain to a piece of property and are not personal in nature. A variance may be granted by the city’s floodplain administrator for a parcel of property with physical characteristics so unusual that complying with the requirements of this chapter would create an exceptional hardship to the applicant or the surrounding property owners. The characteristics must be unique to the property and not be shared by adjacent parcels. The unique characteristic must pertain to the land itself, not to the structure, its inhabitants, or the property owners. It is the duty of the city of Edmonds to help protect its citizens from flooding. This need is so compelling and the implications of the cost of insuring a structure built below the base flood elevation are so serious that variances from the flood elevation or from other requirements in the flood ordinance are quite rare. The long-term goal of preventing and reducing flood loss and damage can only be met if variances are strictly limited. Therefore, the variance guidelines provided in this chapter are more detailed and contain multiple provisions that must be met before a variance can be properly granted. The criteria are designed to screen out those situations in which alternatives other than a variance are more appropriate. B. Requirements for Variances. 1. Variances shall only be issued: a. Upon a determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances; b. For the repair, rehabilitation, or restoration of historic structures upon a determination that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structure’s continued designation as a historic structure and the variance is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure; c. Upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief; d. Upon a showing of good and sufficient cause; e. Upon a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant; f. Upon a showing that the use cannot perform its intended purpose unless it is located or carried out in close proximity to water. This includes only facilities defined in ECDC 19.07.020 in the definition of “Functionally dependent use.” 2. Generally, variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the BFE, provided the provisions of this chapter have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases. C. Variance Criteria. In considering variance applications, the floodplain administrator shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, all standards specified in other sections of this chapter, and: 1. The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others; Item 10.2 Packet pg. 326/425 Edmonds Chapter 19.07 FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION Page 26/84 The Edmonds City Code and Community Development Code proposed updates to Edmonds Building Code March 2024. 2. The danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage; 3. The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner; 4. The importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community; 5. The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable; 6. The availability of alternative locations for the proposed use, which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage; 7. The compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development; 8. The relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program for that area; 9. The safety of access to the property in time of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles; 10. The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the flood waters expected at the site; and 11. The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical, water system, and streets and bridges. D. Additional Requirements for the Issuance of a Variance. 1. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice over the signature of a community official that: a. The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the BFE will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance coverage; and b. Such construction below the BFE increases risks to life and property. 2. The floodplain administrator shall maintain a record of all variance actions, including justification for their issuance. 3. The floodplain administrator shall condition the variance as needed to ensure that the requirements and criteria of this chapter are met. 4. Variances as interpreted in the NFIP are based on the general zoning law principle that they pertain to a physical piece of property; they are not personal in nature and do not pertain to the structure, its inhabitants, economic or financial circumstances. They primarily address small lots in densely populated residential neighborhoods. As such, variances from flood elevations should be quite rare. E. Appeals. Appeals of a variance from the provisions of this chapter shall be appealable in accordance with Chapter 19.80 ECDC. [Ord. 4199 § 1 (Att. A), 2020].

Chapter 19.10 BUILDING PERMITS – EARTH SUBSIDENCE AND LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA Sections: 19.10.000 Statement of purpose and application. 19.10.010 Section amendments. 19.10.020 Definitions. 19.10.030 Minimum required application submittals. 19.10.040 Site posting notice, disclosures, declarations, covenants and waivers. 19.10.050 Site bonds and contractor general public liability insurance. 19.10.060 Review to determine compliance with engineering practice and best available science. 19.10.070 Issuance and denial of permits. 19.10.080 Site access, professional/special inspection, monitoring during construction and final geotechnical report. 19.10.000 Statement of purpose and application. A. This chapter has been enacted in order to provide both substantive and procedural provisions relating to the issuance of permits within the North Edmonds earth subsidence and landslide hazard area. It shall be the policy of the city that no permit shall be issued for any site which is found to be unsuitable for improvement due to excessively steep slopes, unsatisfactory foundation support, instability or unsuitable topography for the particular permit requested for issuance. When development occurs on an unstable site, an unreasonable risk of danger may exist to the public, to public improvements or to adjacent property owners. If such a site can be stabilized through the construction of on-site improvements, that risk may be reduced. B. The construction of professionally designed structures addressing the risks of earth movement, and employing feasible attendant measures (including but not limited to drainage improvements, specially designed foundations, retaining walls, removal of overburden and other improvements designed to minimize the risk of earth movement, prevent avoidable damage to structures, safeguard adjacent properties, limit risk to inhabitants, and to stabilize the structure in the event of movement) may mitigate and reduce the risk of earth movement on individual properties. Nothing herein shall relieve an owner of any obligation imposed by the State Building Code or city ordinance to take all reasonable and practical measures available to reduce or eliminate the risk or hazard. C. The IRC/IBC, as promulgated by the state of Washington and required to be adopted by the city, does not specify a standard regarding lot stability. Since the city’s request for an interpretation of the International Building Code by the State Building Code Council to designate an acceptable level of lot stability was denied, and because the city wishes to comply with state law requiring that the issuance of building permits be a ministerial and not a discretionary act, the provisions of this chapter have been adopted in order to provide reasonable certainty in the permit issuance process. The purpose of these provisions is not to lessen the minimum requirements of the current adopted building code, but rather to define its requirements for city implementation. D. These provisions have been adopted in order to establish a policy that permits shall not be issued for any site where a substantial risk of earth subsidence and landslide hazard exist unless: 1. The risks can be defined with reasonable scientific certainty and found to be within acceptable limits as determined in accordance with this chapter. 2. Any hazard associated with the site is scientifically ascertained and fully disclosed through the permit process. 3. Notice of any risk is given to future purchasers through the land records of Snohomish County. 4. Any risks associated with construction and habitation are assumed by the builder and future owners of the site. Item 10.2 Packet pg. 328/425 Edmonds Chapter 19.10 BUILDING PERMITS – EARTH SUBSIDENCE AND LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA Page 28/84 The Edmonds City Code and Community Development Code proposed updates to Edmonds Building Code March 2024. 5. Adequate indemnification is provided by the builder and the owner of the site in order that the general public not assume or bear any portion of the costs or liability associated with the builder’s investigation, design and construction as well as the continuing maintenance of the site by the property owner. E. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this chapter or the IRC/IBC, all applications for permits received for any site, any portion of which lies within the North Edmonds earth subsidence and landslide hazard area or its buffer, shall be governed by the provisions of this chapter. In addition to all other requirements of these sections, the restrictions and provisions of this chapter shall apply to all building, grading, fill and excavation permits (herein “permits”). Minor permits such as plumbing, mechanical, reroof and interior alterations are exempt from the requirements of this chapter. F. All applications for permits under this chapter shall disclose within the geotechnical report whether or not any part of the site lies within or adjacent to the North Edmonds earth subsidence and landslide hazard area. The building official may require preliminary investigation by a geotechnical engineer for any applicant whose property lies within or lies adjacent to the North Edmonds earth subsidence and landslide hazard area in order to assist the building official in determining whether these provisions should be applied. G. Nothing in this chapter should or shall be interpreted to guarantee issuance of a permit with respect to any property unless the requirements of the IRC/IBC as amended and interpreted by this chapter have been met. [Ord. 4212 § 1 (Att. A), 2021; Ord. 4029 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3926 § 1 (Exh. A), 2013; Ord. 3651 § 1, 2007]. 19.10.010 Section amendments. The provisions of this section amend the 2003 Edition of the IRC/IBC and all subsequent revisions adopted by RCW 19.27.031 as the State Building Code as previously amended by Chapter 19.05 ECDC. All prior substantive amendments have received the approval of the State Building Code Council. All provisions of the IRC/IBC which conflict with this chapter shall be deemed amended hereby, and any ambiguity created shall be resolved in favor of the specific provision or general intent of said chapter. In addition to the amendments of the IRC/IBC by its alteration, improvement and correction to incorporate the chapter, the following specific code provisions are amended and the substantive and procedural requirements of this chapter are amended by the correction and alteration of the following sections of the IRC/IBC: A. Chapter 1, Administration. 1. Section R105.1.1 Permit review applicability. Any permit requested for a site lying in whole or in part within an earth subsidence and landslide hazard area as defined by ECDC 19.10.020(F) shall be processed and acted upon in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 19.10 ECDC. 2. Section R105.2 Work exempt from a permit. ECDC 19.00.025(E)(1) exemptions (a), (b), (d), (e), (f), (g), (j), (k), (l), and (p) and ECDC 19.00.025E(4) exemptions (a), (c) and (i) shall not apply in any area designated as an earth subsidence and landslide hazard area as defined in ECDC 19.10.020(F). 3. Section R105.3.2 Time limitation of permit application. a. Applications, for which no permit is issued within two (2) years following the date of application, shall expire by limitation, and plans and other data submitted for review may thereafter be returned to the applicant or destroyed by the building official. b. The building official may not extend the time for action by the applicant on an expired application except as allowed within this section. In the event of application expiration, the applicant shall submit a new application, revised plans based on current adopted codes and pay new plan review fees as well as any outstanding peer review fees incurred to date. 4. The Building Official may extend the life of an application if any of the following conditions exist: (a) Compliance with the State Environmental Policy Act is in progress; or (b) Any other City review is in progress; provided, the applicant has submitted a complete response to City requests; or Item 10.2 Packet pg. 329/425 Edmonds Chapter 19.10 BUILDING PERMITS – EARTH SUBSIDENCE AND LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA Page 29/84 The Edmonds City Code and Community Development Code proposed updates to Edmonds Building Code March 2024. (c) The Building Official determines that unique or unusual circumstances exist that warrant additional time for such response and the Building Official determines that the review is proceeding in a timely manner toward final City decision; or (d) Litigation against the City or applicant is in progress, the outcome of which may affect the validity or the provisions of any permit issued pursuant to such application. 5. Section R105.5 Permit expiration and extension. a. Every permit issued under the provisions and development standards of Chapter 19.10 ECDC shall expire by limitation two (2) years after issuance, except as provided in ECDC 19.10.010(A)(4)(b). b. Prior to expiration of an active permit the applicant may request in writing an extension for a third and final year. If the plans and specifications for the permit extension application are the same as the plans and specifications submitted for the original permit application and provided there has been at least one (1) required progress inspection conducted by the city building inspector prior to the extension, the permit shall be extended. Permit fees shall be charged at a rate of one quarter the original building permit fee to extend the permit. c. The maximum amount of time any building permit may be extended shall be a total of three (3) years. At the end of any three (3) year period starting from the original date of permit issuance, the permit shall become null and void and a new building permit shall be required, with full fees, in order for the applicant to complete work. The issuance of a new permit shall negate all previous vesting of zoning or building codes. Whenever an appeal is filed and a necessary development approval is stayed in accordance with the Land Use Petition Act, the time limit periods imposed under this section shall also be stayed until final decision. d. The building official shall reject requests for permit extensions if modifications or amendments to the applicable zoning and building codes have occurred since the original issuance of the permit, and modifications or amendments would significantly promote public health and safety if applied to the project through the issuance of a new permit. 6. Section R105.5.1 Recommence work on an expired permit. a. In order to recommence work on an expired permit, a new permit application with full fees shall be submitted to the building official. b. New permit applications shall be reviewed under current zoning and building codes in effect at the time of complete application submittal. If a new permit is sought to recommence work on an expired permit, the new permit shall be vested under the codes in effect at the time of complete application for the new permit, not the expired permit. When additional plan review is required, plan review fees shall be charged. When applicable, peer review and peer review fees shall be assessed. 7. Section R106.3.3.1 Phased approval. a. The building official may require sequencing of construction phases or activities such as the installation of shoring or temporary erosion control remedies and/or drainage systems, well in advance of grading or foundation construction on a time frame consistent with geotechnical recommendations and peer review. As part of the sequencing process, the building official may impose permit conditions that address site work sequencing to include but not be limited to: limiting all excavation, drainage systems and foundation installation to the drier season between May 1st and September 30th. b. When permit conditions such as groundwork are limited by the building official on a particular project, the applicant’s geotechnical engineer may submit a letter detailing geotechnical recommendations that portions of work may progress. The letter shall include a detailed work schedule submitted by the general contractor specifying work to be done, timeline, provisions for monitoring and equipment to be used. Any such recommendation shall be based upon best available science and be consistent with standard geotechnical engineering practice. The building official may require a peer review prior to a decision which provides concurrence regarding at least the following issues: Item 10.2 Packet pg. 330/425 Edmonds Chapter 19.10 BUILDING PERMITS – EARTH SUBSIDENCE AND LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA Page 30/84 The Edmonds City Code and Community Development Code proposed updates to Edmonds Building Code March 2024. i. Duration of work, ii. Type of equipment to use, iii. Additional temporary erosion and sediment control provisions required, and iv. Applicability of special inspections, and similar issues. c. The building official may issue partial permits for phased construction before the entire plans and specifications for the whole building or structure have been approved provided peer review approval has been granted. Phased approval means separate permits for grading, shoring, and foundation may be issued separately, provided concurrent approval is granted by the planning manager, city engineer, and city public works director, when applicable. No phased approval permit shall be issued unless approved civil plans detailing the construction of all site improvements (including, but not limited to: curbs, gutters, sidewalks, paved streets, water lines, sewer lines, and storm drainage) have been signed as approved by the city engineer. With such phased approval, a performance bond shall be posted with the city pursuant to Chapter 17.10 ECDC, to cover the estimated cost of construction to city standards for the improvements. B.

If the evaluation involves geologic evaluations or interpretations, the report shall be reviewed and approved by a geologist. It shall be the responsibility of the geotechnical engineer to assure that the geologist meets the qualifications listed in ECDC 19.10.020. A letter of concurrence from the geologist shall be included in the report. 5. Based upon the North Edmonds landslide area geology and slide mechanisms map and table found in the Landau Associates Summary Report (2007), any lot which contains any portion of any hazard zone or is adjacent thereto (regardless of whether the proposed building pad is located within any hazard area) shall specifically consider within the geotechnical report the following types of typical hazard zones and shall specifically note if the hazard is, or is not, present on the site. The report shall address hazards from encroaching landslide materials, hazards from ground failure in material that has not previously failed, and hazards from ground failure in previously failed material. For each landslide hazard identified on a property, the geotechnical engineer shall identify the types of specific processes associated with the hazard and include design features to reduce such hazards and mitigate impacts. 6. For properties containing or adjacent to bluffs, the geotechnical engineer shall, as a part of the building permit process, provide analysis of the rate of retreat of the bluff prepared by a geologist and estimate the bluff Item 10.2 Packet pg. 335/425 Edmonds Chapter 19.10 BUILDING PERMITS – EARTH SUBSIDENCE AND LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA Page 35/84 The Edmonds City Code and Community Development Code proposed updates to Edmonds Building Code March 2024. retreat amount and regression rate for periods of 25 and 125 years. The geotechnical engineer shall address the effects of bluff retreat on the stability of structures and/or improvements. A “structure” is defined as: a. A building intended for human habitation, b. A building, structure or other improvement whose stress or weight, collapse or movement would endanger public safety in the event of slope failure, and c. Any improvement on the site which is necessary to mitigate danger to public safety or provide stability. If the bluff retreat rate analysis shows that the rate of retreat of the bluff is such that any structure or improvement constructed pursuant to the building permit would be unreasonably endangered or reasonably could be anticipated to be endangered by landslide or earth subsidence during its normal useful life, the application shall be denied. 7. Geotechnical letter addressing the provisions of Chapter 23.80 ECDC. I. The applicant shall submit, consistent with the findings of the geotechnical report, detailed structural plans with corresponding calculations prepared and stamped by the structural engineer of record. When architectural plans incorporate such structural details, said plans shall be stamped and signed by the structural engineer of record. All other architectural plans may be prepared by an architect, designer, builder or lay person. J. The applicant shall submit documentation of required bonds, frozen funds or adequate instrument of credit. The applicant shall submit a copy of the contractor’s general public liability insurance pursuant to ECDC 19.10.050. K.

A), 2013; Ord. 3651 § 1, 2007]. 19.10.040 Site posting notice, disclosures, declarations, covenants and waivers. A. Notices of permit submittal application with the city shall be posted pursuant to ECDC 20.03.002(F). B. At permit application submittal, the applicant shall submit a written declaration with the permit application that includes the statement that the accuracy of all information is warranted by the owner/applicant in a form which relieves the city and its staff from any liability associated with reliance on such submittals. The declaration shall also state that the owner/applicant understands and accepts the risk of developing in an area with potential unstable soils and that the owner/applicant will advise in writing any prospective purchasers of the site, or any prospective purchasers or residential lessees of structures or portions of a structure on the site, of the slide potential of the area. The owner/applicant shall also acknowledge that he, she or they understand and accept the need for future monitoring and maintenance of the property as described in the final geotechnical report when future monitoring and maintenance may affect slope stability over time. While an application may reference the reports of prior public consultants to the city, all conclusions shall be those of the owner/applicant and his or her professionals. C. The plan set submittal shall include a disclosure letter from the geotechnical engineer and civil engineer who prepared the geotechnical report and civil plans, stating that in his or her judgment the plans and specifications submitted for the project conform to the recommendations in the geotechnical report, and that the risk of damage to the proposed development, or to adjacent properties, from soil instability will be minimized subject to the conditions set forth in the report, and the proposed development will not increase the potential for soil movement. “Minimized” shall mean that the applicant has utilized best available science and commonly accepted engineering and architectural practice to minimize, to the extent possible, the risks associated with development of the property. The geotechnical engineer shall review the erosion and sediment control plan and provide a statement about the adequacy of the plan with respect to site conditions and report findings. The geotechnical engineer’s statement shall also include an identification of landslide hazards applicable to the site, the on-site measures taken to correct or reduce the hazards, as applicable, and measures taken to mitigate potential impacts from the remaining hazards.

For sites where the hazards are not mitigated or where the risks from deep-seated or large-scale earth movement cannot be practically reduced by individual lot owners, the geotechnical engineer shall prepare a statement identifying what design measures will be taken to mitigate the risk to structures, adjacent properties, and inhabitants in the event of deep-seated or large-scale movement. The statement shall specify any risks from earth movement that are not fully mitigated by design measures and render an opinion as to whether the site will be stable within the meaning of this chapter following installation of all proposed improvements. The statement will clarify to current and future owners what measures were installed to reduce risks and what hazards could not be addressed by individual lot development. D. Further recommendations signed and sealed by the geotechnical engineer shall be provided should there be additions or exceptions to the original recommendations based on the plans, site conditions or other supporting data. If the geotechnical engineer who reviews the plans and specifications is not the same engineer who prepared the geotechnical report, the new engineer shall, in a letter to the director accompanying the plans and specifications, express agreement or disagreement with the recommendations in the geotechnical report and state that the revised plans and specifications conform to the new recommendations. E. The plan set submittal shall include a disclosure letter or notation on the design drawings by the structural engineer of record stating that he has reviewed the geotechnical report(s), that he understands its recommendations, has explained or has had explained to the owner/applicant the risk of loss due to slides on the site, and that he has incorporated into the design the recommendations of the report and established measures to reduce the potential risk of injury or damage that might be caused by any risk of earth movement referenced in the report. The statement shall note any risks, hazards, and potential problems from earth movement that are not fully mitigated by design measures. F. The owner shall execute a covenant (in a form provided by the city) to be submitted with the application (with necessary fee) to be filed with the Snohomish County auditor. The director shall cause such completed covenant to be so filed. A copy of the recorded covenant shall be forwarded to the owner. This covenant shall be a covenant running with the land, which shall at a minimum include: 1. A legal description of the property. 2. A statement explaining that the site is in a potential earth subsidence and landslide hazard area, that the risk associated with the development of the site is set forth in permit file No. _______ with the city of Edmonds building department, that conditions or prohibitions on development may have been imposed by the city in the course of permit issuance, and referencing any features in the design which will require maintenance or modification to address anticipated soil changes. The covenant may incorporate by reference the statements and conditions to be observed in the form proposed by the owner/applicant’s geotechnical engineer, geologist, architect and/or structural engineer as approved after the review set forth in ECDC 19.10.060. 3. A statement waiving and promising to indemnify and hold harmless the city of Edmonds, its officers and employees from any claims the owner/applicant and his/her successors or assigns may have for any loss or damage to people or property either on or off the site resulting from soil movement and arising from or out of the issuances of any permit(s) authorizing development on the site, as well as due to any act or failure to act by the indemnitor, its agents or successors, in interest under or following issuance of the permit. 4. The date of permit issuance and permit number authorizing the development. [Ord. 4212 § 1 (Att. A), 2021; Ord. 4029 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3926 § 1 (Exh. A), 2013; Ord. 3817 § 9, 2010; Ord. 3736 § 36, 2009; Ord. 3651 § 1, 2007]. 19.10.050 Site bonds and contractor general public liability insurance. A. Site Bonding Requirements. 1. A surety bond, in an amount to be determined by the director, executed by a surety company authorized to do business in the state of Washington shall be posted by the owner/applicant or general contractor to assure the restoration of any areas on the site, or in the surrounding area, disturbed or damaged by slides during construction, and to ensure completion of the work authorized by the permit, or, if the work is not completed, to assure that the site will be restored to a safe and stable condition at least equal to the safety and stability of the Item 10.2 Packet pg. 337/425 Edmonds Chapter 19.10 BUILDING PERMITS – EARTH SUBSIDENCE AND LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA Page 37/84 The Edmonds City Code and Community Development Code proposed updates to Edmonds Building Code March 2024. site prior to commencement of work under the permit. The bond will be exonerated upon occupancy approval of the building permit by the building official. 2. In lieu of the surety bond, the owner/applicant or general contractor may provide documentation of a frozen fund in an amount equal to that which would be required in the surety bond, and similarly conditioned. B. Public Liability Insurance. The general contractor of record shall carry general public liability insurance effective through final occupancy in the minimum amount of $1,000,000, and which shall name the city as an additional named insured, against the injury, death, property damage and/or loss arising from or out of the city’s involvement in the permitting process for the project. C. Homeowner Insurance. The city strongly recommends that each property owner maintain policies of liability insurance, adequate to provide sufficient funds, to indemnify and hold harmless third parties in the event of earth subsidence or landslides emanating from or across the owner’s property. [Ord. 4212 § 1 (Att. A), 2021; Ord. 4029 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3926 § 1 (Exh. A), 2013; Ord. 3651 § 1, 2007]. 19.10.060 Review to determine compliance with engineering practice and best available science. A. The city shall require professional peer review of the plan set submittals accompanying the permit application by a civil engineer, geotechnical engineer, geologist, and/or structural engineer as may be necessary and determined by the building official or director, in order to determine whether the plan set submittals were prepared in accordance with generally accepted engineering practice or the practice of the particular engineering or design specialty and are based upon best available science. The full cost of such peer review shall be paid in full by the owner/applicant within 30 days of billing by the city. Failure to make timely payments shall result in a stay of city plan review services on the application. B. This requirement may be selectively waived at the discretion of the director, provided the applicable project geotechnical engineer, civil engineer or structural engineer provides written concurrence, determination, details, facts and/or data that individual site conditions warrant an exemption from outside peer review. Once waived, the building official shall not be required to inquire further into the adequacy of any report, plans, or data, but rather may rely upon the submittals as warranted by the owner/applicant as reviewed by the city’s consultant. Nothing herein shall relieve the owner/applicant of the obligation to submit a complete application fulfilling all the requirements of this chapter and the IRC/IBC. C. The final recommendation of the peer review regarding whether a submittal complies with generally accepted practice and/or is based on best available science shall be binding upon the building official. Such recommendation may be appealed to superior court under the Land Use Petition Act. [Ord. 4212 § 1 (Att. A), 2021; Ord. 4029 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3926 § 1 (Exh. A), 2013; Ord. 3651 § 1, 2007]. 19.10.070 Issuance and denial of permits. A. The notice of final decision shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to the applicant, to any person who submitted comments, and any person who requested a copy of the decision. B. Permit Issuance. The following requirements must be satisfied before a permit will be issued: 1. An approved geotechnical report has been submitted and approved. 2. Plans and specifications have been submitted incorporating the recommendations of the geotechnical report and said plans have been approved. 3. The required declarations, disclosures, covenants and waivers have been submitted and approved. 4. Required bonds, cash deposits and public liability insurance have been posted with the city. 5. When peer review has been required, all submittals have been determined to have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted engineering practice. 6. Peer review concurrence for permit issuance has been received by the building official. Item 10.2 Packet pg. 338/425 Edmonds Chapter 19.10 BUILDING PERMITS – EARTH SUBSIDENCE AND LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA Page 38/84 The Edmonds City Code and Community Development Code proposed updates to Edmonds Building Code March 2024. 7. All other provisions of ECDC Titles 16, 18 and 20 have been reviewed and approved by the appropriate city official. C. Permit Denial. The following criteria shall result in the denial of issuance of permit: 1. Building, grading and excavation permits for construction on land which the director finds to be unsuitable for improvement due to excessively steep slopes, unsatisfactory foundation support, instability or unsuitable topography, or 2. The resulting development would increase the potential of soil movement resulting in an unacceptable risk of damage to adjacent properties or an unreasonable risk of damage to the proposed development, or 3. Excessive flooding, seepage, high water table, or inadequate drainage, or 4. If the bluff retreat rate analysis shows that the rate of retreat of the bluff is such that any structure or improvement would be unreasonably endangered or reasonably could be anticipated to be endangered by landslide or earth subsidence during its normal useful life, the application shall be denied. A “structure” is defined as: a. A building intended for human habitation, b. A building, structure or other improvement whose stress or weight, collapse or movement would endanger public safety in the event of slope failure, and c. Any improvement on the site which is necessary to mitigate danger to public safety or provide stability, or d. Other hazardous conditions posing an unreasonable risk to public health, safety, or welfare, or e. Where the noted site dangers or geologic hazards are not minimized to the extent possible by the use of best available science and generally accepted engineering and architectural practice, or f. If the applicant’s geotechnical engineer determines that there is a greater chance than 30 percent in a 25- year period that landslide damage on site will occur. D. In making a determination of permit denial, the director shall consider not only the land which is the subject of the application, but in addition, the surrounding area which would be adversely affected if the permit were granted. Permit denial shall be made in writing to the owner/applicant when the site cannot be rendered “stable” as defined in ECDC 19.10.020(O). This decision and other preliminary determinations as referenced herein shall be appealable to Snohomish County superior court in accordance with the Land Use Petition Act. No other appeal shall be permitted. The appeal period shall commence upon the date of mailing of any preliminary or final decision. E. Prohibitions. Because of the relationship of groundwater to stability, the discharge of collected surface water or stormwater to the ground surface or subsurface is prohibited on sites within the earth subsidence and landslide hazard area. In addition, the following construction, buildings, or improvements are hereby prohibited within the earth subsidence and landslide hazard area: 1. Swimming pools or hot tubs. 2. Ponds or other artificial impoundments of water. 3. Watering or irrigation systems. 4. Temporary or permanent stockpile of fill on top or bottom of slopes. 5. Rockeries.

F. Waiver. The prohibitions established in subsection (E) of this section shall apply unless the property owner requests a waiver based upon the written analysis of a geotechnical engineer which clearly establishes that the proposed improvement will have no reasonable likelihood of triggering or otherwise contributing to any landslide hazard or earth subsidence risk either on the site or in the neighboring earth subsidence or landslide hazard area. In any review or appeal of the director’s or building official’s denial of a waiver to construct an otherwise prohibited improvement, the burden of proof shall always be upon the applicant to establish by a clear preponderance of the evidence that no such risk will be created by the improvement. Any geotechnical engineering report provided in any review shall consider not only the risk incurred due to or during construction of the otherwise prohibited improvement, but also the potential impacts due to failure to maintain the improvement, damage through reasonably foreseeable events such as earthquakes or other acts of God, or the reasonably foreseeable negligence of the owner or future owners. The director may utilize peer review consultants. [Ord. 4212 § 1 (Att. A), 2021; Ord. 4029 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3926 § 1 (Exh. A), 2013; Ord. 3651 § 1, 2007]. 19.10.080 Site access, professional/special inspection, monitoring during construction and final geotechnical report. A. Site Clearing and Grading. The owner/applicant or contractor shall secure the building official’s approval before entering an earth subsidence and landslide hazard area site with excavating or other grading and clearing equipment to clear, remove trees or grade for any purpose including the creation of access to the site. The building official may condition such access approval if site conditions are warranted and when discretionary approval permits are required. As part of the approval process the building official may impose conditions that address site work issues; such measures could include but are not limited to limiting all excavation and drainage installation to the drier season between May and the end of September, or sequencing activities such as the installation of drainage systems well in advance of construction. Requests for early site access in advance of building permit approval or in the time period between October 1st and April 30th for any purpose shall be submitted to the building official accompanied by written concurrence of the owner/applicant’s geotechnical engineer of record. The building official may utilize peer review consultants to determine whether the request is based on generally accepted engineering practice and is reasonable with regard to time frame to complete the work, types of equipment proposed to perform the work, length of exposure of slopes, and adequacy of site monitoring and temporary erosion control measures. When such peer review is utilized, the applicant is responsible for the peer review fee. B. Reporting Authority. The owner/applicant shall retain a geotechnical engineer to monitor the site during construction. The owner/applicant shall preferably retain the geotechnical engineer who prepared the final geotechnical report in the plan set submittal and who has reviewed the approved plans and specifications. If a different geotechnical engineering consultant is retained by the owner/applicant, the new geotechnical engineer shall submit a letter to the director stating that he or she has read all reports and recommendations and reviews to date and state whether or not he or she agrees with the opinions and recommendations of the original geotechnical report and peer review comments. Further recommendations, signed and sealed by the new geotechnical engineer, and supporting data shall be provided should there be exceptions or changes to the original recommendations that would affect the approved plans. C. Construction Monitoring, Special Inspections. 1. Inspection Requirements. During the period from October 1st to April 30th, when on site, the owner/applicant or designated erosion sedimentation control (ESC) site supervisor shall perform erosion and sedimentation control inspections. Records of installed ESC facilities shall be maintained by the erosion and sedimentation control supervisor and copies of all ESC records shall be provided to city inspectors upon request. ESC facilities on inactive sites (sites where no work will be performed for more than three consecutive days) shall be inspected weekly by the erosion and sedimentation control supervisor. During all other times of the year, weekly inspections by the ESC site supervisor are required and shall be recorded.

Weekly Field Reports. The geotechnical engineer shall monitor, during construction, compliance with the recommendations in the geotechnical report including: site excavation, shoring, temporary erosion control, soil support for foundation, piles, subdrainage installation, soil compaction and other geotechnical aspects of the construction. Unless otherwise approved by the director, the specific recommendations contained in the geotechnical report shall be implemented by the owner/applicant. Omissions or deviations from the approved geotechnical report and civil plans shall be highlighted to the city in a separate report. All reports shall be submitted to the city on a weekly basis for review. Failure to submit required reports may result in the issuance of a stop work order. 3. Storm Events. During all work periods, special inspections shall be performed after “storm events” as defined in ECDC 19.10.020(Q). The storm event report shall be provided within one week of the event. D. Final Construction Report. The geotechnical engineer of record shall prepare a final written report to be submitted to the building official stating that, based upon his or her professional opinion, site observations and final site grading, the completed development substantially complies with the recommendations of the geotechnical report and with all geotechnical-related permit requirements as shown on the approved plans. “Substantially complies” means that the completed development offers at least the level of stability and safety, on and off site, as was afforded by the original recommendations and report. Recommendations to the owner/applicant shall be included in the report for future monitoring and maintenance of the property including drainage, tightlines, catch basins, berms, retaining wall drainage, hazard mitigation improvements, slopes, bluffs, vegetation, and permanent erosion control that affect slope stability over time. Occupancy of the residence shall not be granted until the report has been reviewed and accepted by the building official. [Ord. 4212 § 1 (Att. A), 2021; Ord. 4029 § 1 (Att.

A variety of strategies can be employed to minimize the actual curb radius: • On low volume two-lane streets, corner design should assume that a large vehicle will use the entire width of the departing and receiving travel lanes, including the oncoming traffic lane. • At signalized intersections, corner design should assume the large vehicle will use the entire width of the receiving lanes on the intersecting street. • At signalized intersections where additional space is needed to accommodate turning vehicles, consideration can be given to recessing the stop line on the receiving street to enable the vehicle to use a portion of or the entire width of the receiving roadway (encroaching on the opposing travel lane). Recessing the stop bar should be balanced with signal operations. • On principal arterials where the City would anticipate frequent larger vehicle turning movements, a radius evaluation based on a larger vehicle would be required but shall not exceed 30’ without Public Works Director approval. 503.5.6 Grade. Unless otherwise approved, the grade of the fire apparatus access road shall not exceed fourteen percent (14%) and the cross slope of the road section or within a turnaround area shall not exceed five percent (5%). Grades exceeding twelve percent (12%) shall require additional fire protection features. 503.5.7 Angles of Approach and Departure. The angles of approach and departure for fire apparatus access roads shall not exceed a five percent (5%) change along any 10- foot section. 503.5.8 Maintenance of Fire Apparatus Access Roads. 503.5.8.1 Markings. Where parking is prohibited, the fire apparatus access road shall be provided with approved markings in accordance with Section 503.8. 503.5.9 Bridges and Elevated Surfaces. Where a bridge, utility vault, or an elevated surface is part of a fire apparatus access road, the bridge, utility vault, or elevated surface shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with specifications established by the fire code official and the city engineer, or their designees. At a minimum, the bridge or elevated surface shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges.

Sponsors: Representatives Walen, Fitzgibbon, Parshley, Paul, Ramel and Reed. House Committee on Housing Senate Committee on Housing Background: State Energy Code. The State Building Code Council (Council) is responsible for the adoption of the State Building Code, which establishes the minimum requirements and standards for buildings and facilities constructed in the state. The Council also adopts the State Energy Code (Energy Code), which is designed to require the construction of increasingly energy efficient homes and buildings. State Energy Performance Standard. The State Energy Performance Standard (Standard), often referred to as the Clean Buildings Performance Standard, requires the Department of Commerce (Commerce) to establish rules for energy performance standards for certain existing commercial buildings, to collect data on compliance, and to report on outcomes. The Standard includes energy use intensity targets by building type, as well as requirements for an energy management plan, operations and maintenance program, energy efficiency audits, and investments in energy efficiency measures. Existing Buildings Used for Residential Purposes. No later than six months after its first comprehensive plan update due after July 23, 2023, a city fully planning under the Growth Management Act must amend its land use regulations to comply with requirements for existing buildings to be used for residential purposes in commercial or mixed-use zones. The amended land use regulations may not impose: permitting requirements beyond those generally applicable to all residential • This analysis was prepared by non-partisan legislative staff for the use of legislative members in their deliberations.

HB 1757- 1 -House Bill Report Item 10.2 Packet pg. 393/425 development within the building's zone; current Energy Code requirements for unchanged portions of the building solely due to the addition of housing units; however, if any portion of an existing building is converted to new dwelling units, each of those new units must meet the requirements of the current Energy Code; • restrictions on housing unit density that prevent the addition of housing at a density up to 50 percent more than what is allowed in the underlying zone if constructed entirely within an existing building envelope; • parking requirements due to the addition of housing units;• design standard requirements, including setbacks, lot coverage, and floor area ratio requirements, beyond those generally applicable to all residential development within the building's zone; • exterior design or architectural requirements beyond those necessary for health and safety or to preserve character-defining streetscapes, unless the building is a designated landmark or is within a historic district established through a local preservation ordinance; • prohibitions on the addition of housing units in any specific part of a building except ground floor commercial or retail that is along a major pedestrian corridor; or • a transportation concurrency or State Environmental Policy Act study.• Summary: The allowances for existing buildings to be used for residential purposes in commercial and mixed-use zones are extended to existing buildings in residential zones. A city may not require a change of use permit for the conversion of an existing building to residential purposes. Unchanged portions of an existing building that have been used for residential purposes and previously permitted space are exempt from current Energy Code requirements. When any other existing building is converted to new dwelling units, changed portions of the new units must meet current Energy Code requirements unless: the square footage of new dwelling units does not exceed the greater of 2,500 square feet or 50 percent of the total building square footage; • the building owner submits documentation showing that the projected energy use intensity of the new units is less than or equal to the Standard's energy use intensity target; or • in areas zoned for residential housing, an additional housing unit is created within an existing home. • Cities must comply with the requirements for existing buildings to be used for residential housing no later than June 30, 2026.

June 23, 2026 - Regular Meeting TITLE:Various Minor Updates to the ECDC Related to Middle Housing (Second Reading) DEPARTMENT:Planning and Development Services PRESENTER:Brad Shipley NEEDED FROM COUNCIL:Action RECOMMENDATION:Staff presented the recommended minor code amendments to the Public Safety, Planning, Human Services, and Personnel (PSPHSP) Committee, and they recommended for the adoption of the minor code amendments at City Council’s June 23, 2026 meeting. Note: per guidance from legal, the format of the code amendment summary included in the packet for the June 16 PSPHSP Committee meeting has changed to comply with standards set in RCW 35A.12.130, which states: “No ordinance or any section or subsection thereof shall be revised or amended unless the new ordinance sets forth the revised ordinance or the amended section or subsection at full length.” BUDGET: Total Dollar Amount:$0 Approved in Budget Fund(s):NA Budget Reallocation Required No Budget Impact PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT: The City adopted Ordinance 4397 in 2025 to implement state middle housing requirements and establish the new Low-Density Residential (LDR) zoning framework. Because the ordinance was adopted under a compressed timeline to meet the state deadline, staff anticipated that additional clean-up would be needed after implementation began. Staff has since identified several limited code issues related to outdated references, terminology, and consistency with the adopted LDR framework. These updates are intended to improve code clarity and administration without revisiting the broader middle housing policy decisions made through Ordinance 4397. CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES: Ordinance 4295 created a streamlined process for minor code amendments (ECDC 20.80.015, Attachment 3). The process allows the City to periodically correct non-substantive code issues identified through regular use of the code, including outdated references, formatting issues, internal inconsistencies, unclear terminology, typographical errors, and other limited changes that do not establish new policy direction. The proposed middle housing clean-up items (Attachment 2) are an appropriate use of this process because they are intended to clarify and implement adopted policy, not change it. The anticipated amendments would focus on consistency between the new LDR zoning framework and other portions of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC). Examples may include correcting references to former RS zones, clarifying terminology related to middle housing or low-density residential development, updating cross-references, and addressing limited inconsistencies that affect code administration. Potential alternatives include: 1. Adopt the minor code amendments. This would allow staff to prepare targeted amendments to improve code clarity, remove outdated references, and support consistent administration of the adopted middle housing regulations. 2. Defer one of more of the amendments to a broader future code update. This would allow the clean-up items to be considered as part of a larger code modernization effort, but may leave current inconsistencies or outdated references in place in the near term. 3. Take no action at this time. This would preserve the code as currently adopted, but may require staff to continue resolving minor inconsistencies through interpretation or case-by-case review. RECOMMENDATION: Staff presented the recommended minor code amendments to the Public Safety, Planning, Human Services, and Personnel (PSPHSP) Committee, and they recommended for the adoption of the minor code amendments at City Council’s June 23, 2026 meeting. Note: per guidance from legal, the format of the code amendment summary included in the packet for the June 16 PSPHSP Committee meeting has changed to comply with standards set in RCW 35A.12.130, which states: “No ordinance or any section or subsection thereof shall be revised or amended unless the new ordinance sets forth the revised ordinance or the amended section or subsection at full length.” BUDGET IMPACTS: No direct budget impact is anticipated. The work would be completed by existing staff. ITEM HISTORY: In 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance 4295 to establish a streamlined process for minor code amendments and support ongoing code maintenance. In 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance 4397 to implement state middle housing requirements, revise the City’s zoning map, and replace the former RS single-family zoning framework with the new LDR zone and associated overlays. On June 16, 2026, staff presented the recommended minor code amendments to the Public Safety, Planning, Human Services, and Personnel (PSPHSP) Committee.

Item 10.3 Packet pg. 405/425 Page 3 of 16 17.00.020 Boundaries. The following rules apply to interpretation of the official zoning map: A. Established Lines. Where boundaries are shown along street lines, alley lines or lot lines, those lines are the boundaries. B. Other Lines. Boundaries not shown along other established lines shall be dimensioned. C. Vacations. When the city vacates a street or alley, the zone districts along either side shall be extended to the centerline of the vacated street. D. Unclassified Land. All lands not classified according to the established district classifications on the official zoning map shall be classified as RS-12LDR-L, pending study, public hearing and specific classifications. E. Annexed Land. The zoning classification of all land annexed to the city shall be determined at the time of annexation and after two public hearings held at least 30 days apart as required by state law, except when the appropriate zoning cannot be determined without further study and/or public comment. All land annexed to the city and not simultaneously zoned shall be considered tentatively as having a zoning classification that is the nearest and most similar to the classification such property enjoyed under county zoning, pending study, public hearing and specific classifications. [Ord. 2291 §§ 1, 2, 1982]. 17.40.030 Nonconforming lots. A. Definition. A nonconforming lot is one which met applicable zoning ordinance standards as to size, width, depth and other dimensional regulations at the date on which it was created but which, due to the passage of a zoning ordinance, the amendment thereof or the annexation of property to the city, no longer conforms to the current provisions of the zoning ordinance. A lot which was not legally created in accordance with the laws of the local governmental entity in which it was located at the date of the creation is an illegal lot and will not be recognized for development. B. Continuation. A nonconforming lot may be developed for any use allowed by the zoning district in which it is located, even though such lot does not meet the size, width, depth and other dimensional requirements of the district, so long as all other applicable site use and development standards are met or a variance from such site use or development standards has been obtained. In Item 10.3 Packet pg. 406/425 Page 4 of 16 order to be developed a nonconforming lot must meet minimum lot size standards established by the provisions of this code, subject to the provisions of subsection (D) of this section. C. Combination. If, since the date on which it became nonconforming due to its failure to meet minimum lot size or width criteria, an undeveloped nonconforming lot has been in the same ownership as a contiguous lot or lots, the nonconforming lot is to be and shall be deemed to have been combined with such contiguous lot or lots to the extent necessary to create a conforming lot and thereafter may only be used in accordance with the provisions of the Edmonds Community Development Code, except as specifically provided in subsection (D) of this section. D. Exception for Single-Family Dwelling Units Permitted in the Low-Density Residential (LDR) Zone. An applicant may build one single-family residenceany building type permitted under the LDR zone, and accessory dwelling units as permitted in ECDC 16.20.050, on a lot or parcel regardless of the size of the lot or parcel if, but only if, one of the following exceptions applies: 1. In an RSthe LDR zone, such nonconforming lot may be sold or otherwise developed as any other nonconforming lot pursuant to the following conditions and standards: a. The lot area of the nonconforming lot is not less than the minimum lot area specified in the table below for the zoning district in which the subject property is located; and b. Community facilities, public utilities and roads required to serve the nonconforming lot are available concurrently with the proposed development; and c. Existing housing stock will not be destroyed in order to create a new buildable lot.
