Executive Summary
The purpose of this master plan is to implement the goals and objectives of the City of
Edmonds Comprehensive Plan as they relate to the development of that area of the city
known as Point Edwards. The drafting of this master plan is the first step to development
of the Point Edwards property (the planning area), as contemplated by the Edmonds
Downtown Waterfront Plan.
This master plan is submitted concurrently with a proposal to amend the text of the City
of Edmonds zoning regulations, creating two separate but complementary Master Plan
Hillside Mixed Use zones to be applied to different portions of the study area. These
proposed zoning designations would permit land uses and intensity of development that
are consistent with the uses and densities contemplated in the city's Comprehensive Plan
and Downtown Waterfront Plan. All future development within the study area would
occur in a manner that is generally consistent with the uses and densities shown in this
Master Plan.
The study area has been in the same ownership since 1920, and was once a portion of a
larger, property. The prior use of the property for the storage and shipment of petroleum
products resulted in spills that are now subject to environmental remediation efforts. Any
future uses of the property within the study area will require that cleanup efforts be
successfully concluded prior to development, and the level of cleanup will help to
determine the range of future land uses permitted.
Existing zoning regulations require `water dependent' uses to be the primary focus of site
development. Because the property no longer has direct access to the waterfront, such
uses are no longer feasible. The two alternative development strategies shown herein
propose future land uses that have been discussed in detail as a part of the adoption
process for the city's Comprehensive Plan and Downtown Waterfront Plan.
Each of the alternative development strategies contemplates that the "Upper Yard"
portion of the study area would be devoted primarily to multi - family residential
development. The "Lower Yard" would evolve as a mixed -use development, with the
preferred alternative focusing that development around a multi -modal transportation
center that would relocate the ferry terminal and the railroad station to the site. A second
development alternative without the multi -modal facility is provided in the event that the
® development of the, multi -modal center is not pursued by all the parties within a
f reasonable time frame.
Although the Downtown Waterfront Plan has been adopted as a part of the cit 's Comprehensive e Plan, these plans are
often referred to separately because each document expresses a different level of detail with regard to planning for the
IPoint Edwards study area.

Background
INTRODUCTION
In 1995, the City of Edmonds adopted its Downtown Waterfront Plan as an element of its
Comprehensive Plan. That plan called for any future development of certain properties
located in the southwestern portion of the city to occur only upon the formulation of a
"master plan" to guide that development. Since that time, the city has approved master
plans for portions of those properties, most significantly for property owned by the Port
of Edmonds.
This Master Plan is intended to analyze development potential and establish parameters
for the future development of the planning area in accordance with two new MP —
Master Plan Hillside Mixed Use zones. In accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, this
master plan will describe the parameters of land uses within the planning area. It will
describe, in a general manner, the height and bulk of structures, the types and
arrangement of land uses, and site access and circulation patterns.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Point Edwards planning area consists of 44.54 acres of land in Edmonds,
Washington, improved with small buildings currently used as office space. The planning
area lies on the western perimeter of the Edmonds Downtown Activity Center, and is
bordered on the northwest by Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks, on the
northeast by a Class 1 wetland, and on the south by the corporate boundary of the City of
i Woodway. The area is the site of a former `tank farm' used for the storage and
1 distribution of petroleum products.
A portion of the planning area was divided by a short plat approved by the City of
Edmonds in 1998. The. 1998 short plat excluded the "teardrop" parcel located to the
south of Pine Street Extension.
Access to the planning area is from the east via Pine Street Extension (216th Street SW),
connecting to SR104.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
History of Land Use
In 1920, the Union Oil Company purchased approximately 110 acres of land in the area
1
d
1
known as Point Edwards in Snohomish County. Additional property was acquired in the
ensuing years, and the City of Edmonds subsequently annexed this property. At its peak,
the site included what is now the Port of Edmonds, Harbor Square, and Marina Beach.
The property was developed with tanks and pipelines for the transshipment of petroleum
products via tanker ships. Union Oil Company (now Unocal) has gradually divested
much of these holdings, until the Point Edwards site is now its only remaining property.
Within the past year, activity on the site has been devoted primarily to demolition, with
the removal of all of the tanks in the upper yard, and much of the supporting
infrastructure in the lower yard.
The site is improved by two small wood -frame office buildings, one of which houses the
local office of Unocal Corporation. The office uses are the only active uses that remain
on the site at this time.
Environmental Summary
The prior use of the property for the storage and shipment of petroleum products has
resulted in subsurface soil conditions that include deposits of petroleum compounds. The
presence of these contaminants requires the implementation of a cleanup plan approved
by the State of Washington Department of Ecology. Site remediation has commenced in
® the upper yard by the removal of the tanks on the site. Additional remediation activities
will occur on the site, in both the upper and lower yards, prior to site development on
those portions of the property. Cleanup efforts in the Lower Yard are expected to
commence by 2004.
This Master Plan includes a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Analysis in the forme
of a checklist2. This SEPA checklist incorporates by reference the Environmental Impact
Statement prepared by the city in the course of adopting its Comprehensive Plan. In
addition, a significant amount of environmental analysis related to the planning area has
previously been conducted. A list of those studies is shown in Appendix B.
In October of 1995 the Washington State Department of Ecology approved the Unocal
"work plan" acknowledging the next steps in the agreement (Agreed Order) with the State
to environmentally investigate the Point Edwards property in Edmonds. This approval
allowed Unocal to commence exploratory drilling and testing in conformance to the work
plan and thereby provide insight to the contamination. This work was completed in
August of 1996. A draft work investigation report was submitted to Ecology. An interim
action plan was submitted and approved by Ecology in 2001 that led to Unocal's
voluntary removal of the tanks and lines in the Upper Yard, and removal of strategically

important plume contamination in the Lower Yard. The interim action plan calls for
complete cleanup of the upper yard_ with follow up action on the lower yard consistent
with the order and regulation under MTCA in 2002.
Critical Areas
The area is bordered on the northeast by a Class 1 wetland, the Point Edwards Marsh.
This wetland extends for several acres to the north of the site. Immediately abutting this
wetland in the northern portion of the planning area is a constructed stormwater facility
that was classified in a previous study as a Class 3 wetland. Because this stormwater
facility was constructed as an element of previous site development, its classification may
be re- evaluated as new development occurs.
According to flood maps available to the city from the Federal Emergency Management
' Agency3, the planning area is located in `Flood Zone C,' meaning that the area is not
located within any 100 -year or 500 -year flood zone.
The city's Shoreline Master Program regulates shoreline use and development on coastal
waters, and on all land located within 200 feet of the ordinary high water mark of the
shoreline. None of the property shown in this Master Plan is located within 200 feet of
' the shoreline's high water mark.
The original hillside was terraced as tanks were placed on the site. The tanks were
commonly placed on the southern and upland portion of the study area commonly known,
as the `upper yard.' The remainder of the site is commonly known as the `lower yard.'
This lower yard generally is more level than the upper yard, where steep slopes (in excess
of 40 %) still exist in some areas. Despite the presence of these steep slopes soil
conditions on the site appear to be stable, with little indication of erosion.
iZoning
The City of Edmonds Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 16.40 ECDC), currently designates the
Point Edwards property as CW (Commercial Waterfront). The primary uses now
permitted in this zone are:
• Marine- oriented services;
• Marine- oriented or pedestrian- oriented retail uses;
• Petroleum products storage and distribution;
• Offices located above ground floor (excluding medical, dental, and veterinary);
• Local public facilities with marine- oriented services or recreation; and
Parks and open space.

The CW zoning designation was applied to the site at a time when the property was used
for the shipment and storage of petroleum products, an activity that required direct water
access. In the intervening time, that use of the property has been discontinued and direct
access to the waterfront has been eliminated. Because the site no longer has direct access
to the waterfront, the requirement for water - dependent uses severely limits potential
future uses of the property. Figure 1 shows the city's zoning map.
The City of Edmonds adopted a Comprehensive Plan in 1995, pursuant to the
requirements of the State of Washington Growth Management Act. That plan designates
the subject property and surrounding lots for `Master Plan Development.' In the
Edmonds Downtown Waterfront Plan, site development options discussed site
development consistent with a multi -modal facility. Figure 2 shows the Comprehensive
Plan's Downtown Activity Center concept map.

Alternative Development Strategies
CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Downtown Waterfront Plan that was adopted as an element of the city's
Comprehensive Plan took a close look at the Point Edwards site as a focal point for a
multi -modal transportation center that would become a "regionally important
transportation facility." This center would integrate a relocated ferry terminal, inter -city
and commuter rail, buses, and park -and -ride facilities. Of the three alternate sites
identified by the city, Poinf Edwards was named as the preferred alternative for the
transportation center. The Downtown Plan also allowed for further development of the
site, suggesting specific redevelopment options that would complement the transportation
center.
The Comprehensive Plan notes that development of a multi -modal transportation facility
helps to solve a number of problems throughout the city:
• the existing ferry terminal location creates traffic conflicts due to its close proximity
to downtown.
• access to the existing terminal is sometimes blocked by the at -grade crossing of the
BNSF railroad tracks.
• the ferry holding area creates a barrier between downtown and the waterfront.
• the ferry location restricts the expansion of downtown, reducing potential economic
growth.
• congestion created by ferry traffic discourages new businesses from locating
downtown.
By relocating the ferry terminal to the Point Edwards site, the city can create a more
pedestrian- friendly downtown area that is tied more closely to the waterfront. At the
same time, traffic congestion could be reduced by creating a true multi -modal center
where passengers can access an integrated mass - transit system via road, rail, or water.

The city's Comprehensive Plan identifies the Point Edwards property as a part of the
"Downtown/Waterfront Activity Center." Within that activity center, the planning area is
designated for "Master Plan Development." The Point Edwards property is one of
several that share the Master Plan Development designation. Some other properties
within that area have already drafted a master plans, with each plan intended to promote
mixed -use development:
• The Port of Edmonds submitted a Master Plan for its properties to the city, which
plan was adopted by the city in January 2002.
• Owners of the Harbor Square property entered into a "contract rezone" agreement
with the city, and are proceeding with development in accordance with this "master
plan" concept for its redevelopment,,
In order to implement the Comprehensive Plan, this Master Plan is based upon the
proposed adoption by the city of a "Master Plan Hillside Mixed Use" (MP)4 zone. This
designation would create two separate and compatible zoning districts, that would be
applied to the Upper Yard and the Lower Yard, respectively. The MPl zone for the
Upper Yard would permit a range of uses that include multi - family residential, office,
hotels /motels, some restaurants, conference centers, day care, and certain secondary uses.
For the MP2 zone, neighborhood - oriented retail uses and multi -modal transportation
centers are added. The application of these zones to the study area will be illustrated in
greater detail in the following section, Alternative Development Strategies.
This Master Plan sets forth two alternatives for future development of the properties
within the study area. Each of these alternatives has been designed to conform to the
requirements of the proposed MP zoning. A map illustrating the proposed zoning
boundaries is shown in Figure 3. A plan illustrating the mix and relationships of land
uses in the preferred alternative is shown in Figure 4, and an alternative plan that would
permit development without a multi -modal transportation facility is shown in Figure 7.
This second alternative is set forth to permit reasonable development within the planning
area in the event that a multi -modal facility is not pursued within a reasonable period. it
should be noted that Figures 4 and 7, illustrating proposed development alternatives, are
intended as conceptual designs only. It is anticipated that reasonable adjustments will be
made to these conceptual designs as more definitive development plans are devised, as
part of a project- specific review. However, the boundaries of the MP1 and MP2 zones
will remain constant.
4 See Appendix A for the full text of the proposed zone.

THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
Multi -Modal Center
The primary focus of the Preferred Alternative is to create a multi -modal transportation
center that will integrate a relocated ferry terminal, a railroad terminal, bus service, park -
and -ride facilities, and accommodations for bicycles and pedestrians. The multi -modal
center would realign SR 104, taking advantage of site topography to create an overpass
over the BNSF railroad tracks for ferry access, complete with stacking lanes.
Immediately to the north of the highway realignment, a train/transit station with an
oversized parking lot would be developed. The siting of this building will create a link to
the railroad tracks that border the study area to the northwest.
The SR 104 realignment would run roughly along the boundary between the MP 1 and
MP2 zones, extending west to a ferry access ramp. The realignment route would be wide
enough to accommodate stacking lanes for the ferry. The highway realignment would
occupy approximately 6.3 acres of land within the study area, while the adjacent multi -
modal facility would occupy an additional 3.6 acres.
Multi - Family Residential
In the Preferred Alternative, the land shown in the MP 1 zone (the Upper Yard) would be
devoted primarily to multi - family residential use. At a permitted density of 2,400 square
feet per dwelling unit, the maximum number of dwelling units that would be allowed on
this 24.06 -acre site would be 419. However, after setting aside land for roads and open
space, accounting for site limitations related to steep slopes, and observing setback and
height restrictions, the probable density would be lower than the maximum permitted
density. Densities at build -out will be consistent with urban densities contemplated by
Washington's Growth Management Act, and the city's Comprehensive Plan.
Pockets of open space would be located to the north and west of the residential
development, providing a measure of buffering between the Upper Yard and the Lower
Yard. In addition to the designated open space areas in the Upper Yard, smaller pockets
of public open space would be integrated into the site design. Where feasible and
appropriate, these public open spaces would be connected through pedestrian pathways
that may incorporate sidewalks on Pine Street.
The residential development would constitute phase 1 of site development within the
planning area, with sub -phases in this area to be determined as development is proposed.
Multi -Modal Transportation and Mixed Use Development
As noted earlier, the area located generally to the north of the realigned highway (the
Lower Yard) would be devoted to a multi -modal transportation facility, and to
development that complements that facility. Adjacent to the multi -modal facility is an
area designated for mixed use development. The primary use of this area is anticipated to
be office space, with supporting retail and service uses. This mixed use area
encompasses approximately 4.6 acres. To the southeast of this area lies a small site
designated as a commercial node of less than one acre. This area is intended to provide
REVISED FINAL - POINT EDWARDS MASTER PLAN PAGE 12 DAVID EVANS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
EDMONDS, WA MAY 14, 2002
s
' goods or services to residences and businesses located within the study area. The
location takes advantage of visibility from the realigned highway, and is located at the
' intersection that leads to the mixed use area.
Located to the northeast of the mixed use area is a portion of the study area that will be
' devoted to open space, a buffer for the abutting marsh, and possibly for stormwater
management. This area, which includes a site currently used as a salmon hatchery,
provides a transition to the abutting property to the northeast.
Circulation and Access
The realigned SR 104 would be the main thoroughfare through the study area. Internally,
Pine Street Extension will provide access to the multi - family use on the Upper Yard
along its existing right -of -way. Access to the northerly portion of the study area, and to
the multi -modal facility, will necessitate the relocation of the existing Unoco Road. The
alignment for the relocated access road will result in a signalized intersection at SR 104,
and may necessitate some encroachment into the wetland buffer. Potential intersection
designs are shown in previous site studies, and are expected to be further refined during
the development review process.
The ferry access will be achieved via an overpass across the railroad tracks. This access
will also include provisions for pedestrians and bicycles. The multi -modal facility will
improve rail access to the community, permitting rail passengers to gain access to ferries,
buses, and the local highway system.
Site conditions including steep slopes and railroads are generally not favorable to
facilitating pedestrian access. The steep slopes and highway location will serve to
discourage pedestrian access between the upper and lower yards. 'In addition, the railroad
tracks create a barrier that effectively isolates the site from port and waterfront property
to the west.
Despite the physical limitations imposed by site topography, the Downtown Waterfront
Plan contemplates pedestrian access from the Upper Yard to the waterfront as part of the
Edmonds Crossing project. Upper Yard development will be designed to reasonably
accommodate such access as it may be included in connection with the future Edmonds
Crossing development.
The issue of access and circulation is discussed in greater detail in the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that was prepared in 1995 for the proposed
Edmonds Crossing project. That study evaluated traffic related to automobiles, rail, and
ferries.
Utilities
The study area is served by or has available all necessary public utilities. Public water,
sewer, and storm drainage are provided by the City of Edmonds, while electricity and
natural gas are available through Puget Sound Energy. The capacity of sewer lines

within the study area may need to be upgraded to accommodate anticipated development.
This capacity will be analyzed in greater detail prior to development approvals.
As provided in City of Edmonds regulations, all utilities that serve the site will be placed
underground as development occurs.
Building Dimensions and Relationships
In the Upper Yard (governed by the proposed MP 1 zoning regulations), the residential
buildings will be designed to fit into the terraced hilltop and hillside. Building heights
will be limited to 35 feet, except that an additional five feet in height will be allowed as
part of an approved, modulated roof design. Building height will be calculated according
to approved city standards. To encourage the appearance of smaller building masses,
building heights will be calculated separately for each clearly separated portion of a
building.
Because the realigned highway will be built into a hillside, allowances will be made for
the height of the highway's supporting structure and its relationship to the multi -modal
facility. Thus, in the MP2 zone, heights of up to 45 feet will be allowed. Because
building in the lower yard area will be significantly lower in elevation than the steep
slopes immediately to the south, 45 -foot buildings will not obstruct views from
surrounding properties. Due to this more liberal height allowance, no additional credit
would be granted for roof features as part of an approved modulated roof design.
The 45 -foot height limit in the lower yard would permit four -story buildings. However,
due to the limited area available for development, it is likely that the first floor of
buildings would be devoted primarily to structured parking5, with some supporting retail
uses. Upper stories would be devoted primarily to offices. However, the potential for
residential dwellings on the upper floors of buildings may be considered.
Given the size of the area set aside for mixed use development (less than five acres) and
the need for parking and landscaping, the maximum amount of floor area devoted tb
individual land uses may occur as shown in Figure S.

It should be noted that the numbers and uses shown in Figure S are not absolute. For
example, a first -floor restaurant or bank may extend onto the second floor, or may choose
an upper floor location. Also, the total square footage of development may occur in one
building, or in several buildings that would add up to the total square footage shown
above.
For purposes of calculating the potential for residential development, an average of 1,500
square feet is assumed for each dwelling unit. Thus, if the upper floors of buildings were
devoted to residential uses, the number of potential dwelling units per floor would be
calculated as follows:
Figure 6:
Potential Residential Development, MP2 Zone
FLOOR MAXIMUM SQUARE POTENTIAL MAXIMUM #
FOOTAGE DWELLING UNITS
1 30 000 07
Z 100.000 66
3 100,000 66
4 80 000 53
TOTAL 310,000 185
In the calculations illustrated in Figures S and 6, dwelling units are substituted for office
space at a ratio of 1:1,500, or one dwelling unit for each 1,500 square feet of office space.
Thus, total potential site development would consist of up to 3 10, 000 square feet of office
space or as many as 185 dwelling units, or some combination thereof.
Phasing
The size and topography of the site lends itself to a phased development approach. Phase
1 would be the residential and open space development of the Upper Yard. Due to the
size of this project, sub - phases will be identified when specific development plans are
submitted. Because adequate access to the Lower Yard would be required for
development, Phase 2 would be the Edmonds Crossing multi -modal facility. Phase 3
would encompass the mixed -use, `transit- oriented' development in the Lower Yard that
would support the multi -modal facility. While the timing of these development phases
has not been firmly established, it is likely that plans for Phase 1 development would-be
submitted to the city within one year of adoption of this Master Plan. The timing for
Phase 2 will depend upon state funding for Edmonds Crossing. Portions of Phase 3 may
commence prior to the completion of Phase 2.
ALTERNATIVE TWO
The city's Comprehensive Plan clearly identifies the development of a multi -modal
facility as a high priority, and selects the Point Edwards planning area as the preferred

Multi - Family Residential
The multi - family development planned for the MP1 zone in the upper yard remains
essentially the same as in the Preferred Alternative. The open space area to the west of
the housing development is expanded to include much of the steep slope area that was
dedicated to the highway realignment, and the need for the open space area to the east is
eliminated when the highway is removed.
Mixed Use Development
The area of mixed use development in the lower yard is expanded to include the area that
was designated for the multi -modal facility. This expanded area encompasses
approximately nine acres, plus a one -acre commercial node at the intersection of Pine
Street Extension and Unoco Road.
Circulation and Access
The key to safe and efficient traffic circulation in this alternative is the realignment (and
perhaps signalization) of the intersection of Pine Street Extension and Unoco Road. This
realignment will result in improved sight distances, fewer turning movement conflicts,
and increased traffic safety.

location for that facility. However, the development and construction of such a facility
(including the highway realignment) will not be possible without the active cooperation
and support of the ferry system, the railroads (both Burlington Northern and Amtrak), the
state's Department of Transportation, Snohomish County, and local transit service
providers. Getting support and financial commitments from all of these entities,
especially in an era of tight budgets, may prove to be an impossible challenge. This
Master Plan recognizes the possibility that plans for a multi -modal transportation facility
may not be pursued by these third parties in a timely manner, and provides development
options in Alternative Two that address this possibility.
As noted earlier, cleanup of the Lower Yard is expected to commence by 2004. Planning
and environmental studies prepared by the City of Edmonds and others suggest that
planning for components of a multi-modal facility should be underway within this same
general time frame. In the event that site - specific planning for a multi -modal facility is
not commenced by 2004 or 2005, current or future owners of property within the
planning area should have the flexibility to develop the site using Alternative Two. This
alternative is conceptually depicted in Figure Z
Balanced Development
Alternative Two attempts to balance development types throughout the study area, using
the same basic mix of uses (excluding the multi -modal facility) that are planned in the
Preferred Alternative.
Multi - Family Residential
The multi - family development planned for the MP1 zone in the upper yard remains
essentially the same as in the Preferred Alternative. The open space area to the west of
the housing development is expanded to include much of the steep slope area that was
dedicated to the highway realignment, and the need for the open space area to the east is
eliminated when the highway is removed.

The area of mixed use development in the lower yard is expanded to include the area that
was designated for the multi -modal facility. This expanded area encompasses
approximately nine acres, plus a one -acre commercial node at the intersection of Pine

Pine Street Extension from SR 104 provides the only access to the planning area, and
improvements to this street such as sidewalks and turning lanes will be required to ensure
safe and adequate site access. The railroad continues to present a barrier to site access
from the west.
With the elimination of the ferry access and the multi -modal facility, projected traffic
volumes to and from the study area will be significantly lower.
Without the Edmonds Crossing project, pedestrian access from the site to the waterfront
becomes problematic. Aside from topographic and engineering constraints, the high
costs associated with providing a grade- separated access across the railroad, including
negotiating an appropriate easement or license from the railroad, would create great
difficulty. However, the design and development costs alone should not preclude the
potential of providing such access. Accordingly, Upper and Lower Yard development
will be designed to reasonably accommodate future pedestrian access to the waterfront.
To the extent that waterfront access is later afforded with Lower Yard development and
benefits site development, the developer(s) may contribute to this effort through the
donation of land, or through other mutually agreeable means.
Building Dimensions and Relationships
Height, bulk, and overall dimensional requirements for Alternative Two do not differ
from the Preferred Alternative. Due to the increased size of the area designated for
mixed use development, the development potential in this area is increased as shown in
Figure 8.

CONCLUSION
The Point Edwards site is one of the few significant development opportunities remaining
in the City of Edmonds. The significance and visibility of the site is evidenced by the
high degree of interest shown by local, regional, and state governments and agencies.
However, despite the high level of interest shown, and despite the clear documentation of
the need to improve ferry access by moving its associated traffic congestion away from
Downtown Edmonds, little has been done by any public agency to secure the Point
Edwards site for use as a multi -modal facility.
This Master Plan preserves the option for a multi -modal facility, while, acknowledging
that such a development may not come to pass within a reasonable period of time.
Unocal Corporation, the property owner, has enjoyed a long history of cooperative
working relationships with city government and other involved agencies. The type and
intensity of development illustrated in this Master Plan is intended to meet the spirit and
the letter of the city's Comprehensive Plan, to encourage action toward the development
of a multi -modal center on the property, and to promote the efforts of those who wish to
maintain a high quality of life in Edmonds.
A multi -modal facility or other development of comparable scope at Point Edwards will
benefit the city by providing a development that complements Downtown Edmonds. As
noted in the Edmonds Downtown Waterfront Plan, the relocation of rail and ferry service
from their current locations will improve traffic congestion in the downtown area. At the
same time, the site of these relocated facilities can benefit from increased exposure by
creating a mixed -use development that maximizes development opportunities while
creating an atmosphere that is faithful to the vision set forth in city plans.

UNOCAL PROPERTY
16.75.000 MP- MASTER PLAN HILLSIDE MIXED USE ZONE
This chapter establishes the hillside mixed use zoning district comprised of two
distinct zoning categories which are identical in all respects except as specifically
provided for in 16.75.010 and 16.75.020 ECDC.
16.75.005 Purpose
The MP1 and MP2 zones have the following specific purposes in addition to the
