WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Edmonds,
pursuant to proper notice and publication, held a public hearing
on a proposal to amend Section 12.20.080 of the Zoning Code to
establish a fee for all Amenities Design Board applications for
major projects as defined under the SEPA Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest to notify property
owners adjacent to major projects; and
WHEREAS, the most effective means of notification are
posting and mailing of notices; and
WHEREAS, there is a substantial cost to the City to post
and mail the required notices; and
WHEREAS, there is a finding of no significant adverse
environmental impact on the proposed amendment; and
WHEREAS, said amendment is necessary to promote the
public health, safety, and general welfare, NOW THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission finds that,
in spite of the foregoing conclusions, the institution of a fee
at this time reflects a piecemeal approach to cost recovery and
recommends to the City Council that the proposed amendment to
Section 12.20.080 of the Zoning Code to establish a fee of $25.00
for all major Amenities Design Board applications be denied until
all other fees can be cons.ider:ed at the same t�m,e.
