Packet Page 3 of 195 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes February 27, 2007 Page 2 COUNCILMEMBER MOORE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT, TO CONFIRM THE APPOINTMENT OF GREG BANASEK TO THE ARTS COMMISSION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Banasek thanked the Council for the opportunity to serve on the Arts Commission. Mayor Haakenson thanked him for volunteering to serve. 4. 2007 LIMITED OBLIGATION BOND SALE. Administrative Services Director Dan Clements introduced the City’s Financial Advisor Allen Dashen, A. Dashen & Associates. Mr. Dashen displayed a graph of interest rate trends for the past year and since 1987, commenting interest rates had not been this low since the pre-President Nixon days. He reviewed a list of purposes for the $5,230,000 bond sale, noting only a small amount was General Fund moneys with most paid by utilities and other sources. Mr. Dashen explained the City applied for a rating on the City’s bonds from Moody’s Investors Service who confirmed the City’s A1 rating on Limited Tax Bonds and confirmed the AA3 rating for voted bonds. He noted this placed the City’s rate in the top tier of cities in Washington State. He relayed comments made by Moody’s including strong tax base appreciation in affluent community just north of Seattle; City’s financial operations are well managed, benefiting from a combination of spending practices and healthy revenue growth; and favorable comments about fund balances. Mr. Dashen explained the bonds were structured to be “bank qualified” which results in a lower interest rate to the City, approximately 4% lower. The bonds mature over 20 years and were sold through a competitive bid process with firms nationwide bidding on the City’s bonds. The City received 11 bids; PNC Capital Markets was the winning bidder. He displayed a list of bidders, noting 2-3 were within .01% of each other. He reviewed the source and uses of the funds, advising the net from the sale was $5,205,734. He recommended approval of the sale resolution. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS, FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 1142. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The resolution reads as follows: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, ACCEPTING THE BID OF PNC CAPITAL MARKETS LLC FOR $5,230,000 PAR VALUE LIMITED TAX GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, 2007, OF THE CITY; FIXING THE INTEREST RATES AND MATURITY SCHEDULE ON THOSE BONDS; AND PROVIDING FOR OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY RELATING THERETO. 5. ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION. Historic Preservation Commissioners Steven Waite, Rob Van Tassell, Norma Bruns, Christine Deiner- Karr, and Barbara Kindness introduced themselves. (Commissioners Brian Hall and Deborah Binder were absent.) Commissioner Kindness advised the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) meets the second Tuesday of each month in the Fourtner Room of City Hall. She advised the meetings were open to the public and they encourage attendance and participation from interested citizens. Councilmember Plunkett is the Council liaison on the Commission and staff assistance is provided by Rob Chave and Diane Cunningham. Commissioner Kindness invited the Chair of each of the Commission’s four subcommittees to report on their activities. Commissioner Van Tassell reported the Planning Committee’s recent efforts focused on Packet Page 4 of 195 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes February 27, 2007 Page 3 the downtown core, which they called the heritage neighborhood area, and providing guidance for design with regard to historic preservation. Their efforts resulted in a draft document that had been circulated to the Council’s Community Services/Development Services committee and the public. The next step would be to share the draft with the Planning Board and the City Attorney before presenting it to the Council for codification. The Planning Committee also developed the Commission’s Strategic Plan. Commissioner Kindness advised Commissioner Waite, Chair of the Incentives Committee, also developed the walking tour. Commissioner Waite explained one of the challenges for the Incentives Committee was convincing building owners to retain their structures as they had the right to demolish their structure. He noted buildings on the Historic Register were community assets and part of a collection of structures and sites that created Edmonds’ image. Incentives for structures on the Historic Register could include an expedited permit process or a reduction in permit fees. The Committee has also been reviewing the International Existing Building Code which has been adopted in other cities. Commissioner Waite described the walking tour attended by Councilmembers, ADB and Planning Board Members, staff and the public to look at existing buildings in the City and point out architectural characteristics that define the City. He offered to conduct another tour in the spring. He advised there were buildings in the community that represent each decade from 1890. Commissioner Deiner-Karr, Chair of the Registration Committee, referred to a list of applications for registration that have been submitted. She explained five private property applications were submitted in 2006; one of the properties, the August Johnson House, which has been reviewed and approved by the HPC and the Planning Board, would be presented to the Council for approval in the near future. In addition, ten properties that are already on the State Historical Register have submitted applications as part of the expedited process for registering properties on the State and National Registers. The Commission hopes to have these properties through the registration process by the end of the first quarter in 2007. Once these properties were approved, she advised plaques would be installed on the properties. Commissioner Kindness advised 83 properties in the downtown core met the criteria for historic preservation. Once these initial properties were approved, the Commission planned to encourage other property owners to apply for designation. Commissioner Bruns reported the primary purpose of the Community Outreach and Education Committee was to educate the public about the existence of the HPC as well as its mission and purpose. Deborah Binder, a member of the committee, raised over $4,000 to produce the walking tour brochure that highlights 27 historic and architectural sites in the downtown core. The brochure has been well received and is available at local Snohomish County tourist information offices. Work has begun on a companion brochure that will help Edmonds residents understand why and how to register their properties. This brochure is funded by a grant from the Washington State Historic Preservation Office. Commissioner Bruns advised the committee organized a day at the Edmonds Summer Market where they connected with residents and distributed brochures. They plan to do this again in 2007. The committee also wrote several articles in the local newspaper about the HPC’s work. Commissioner Bruns advised she is the representative from the Edmonds South Snohomish County Historic Society. She suggested a joint meeting to address the difference between the museum’s activities and the HPC’s activities. Councilmember Moore asked the difference between the Edmonds South Snohomish County Historic Society and the HPC. Commissioner Bruns explained the Historic Society operates the museum and may put up plaques. She summarized the Historic Society’s focus was sites versus individual residences. She relayed the Historic Society planned to fund a plaque for Holmes Corner. Commissioner Waite commented the Historic Society was a repository of information, items and photographs versus the HPC Packet Page 5 of 195 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes February 27, 2007 Page 4 which was a City Commission charged with placing buildings and sites on the Edmonds Historic Register. He assured a property added to the Edmonds Historic Register could be easily removed from the register; however, being on the register could provide certain benefits via local government. For Councilmember Moore, Commissioner Waite described benefits of being on the Edmonds Historic Register which include freezing the value of any improvements for ten years. There are also tax credits available from being on the National Register. He explained being on the Edmonds Historic Register was an honorarium that illustrated the property owners’ interest in historic preservation and may increase the structure’s value. Councilmember Moore asked whether the 83 structures that met the Commission’s criteria were all in the downtown core. Commissioner Kindness advised they were. Commissioner Waite noted these included commercial buildings as well. Commissioner Kindness advised the advisory board identified over 1000 properties that were over 50 years old. The survey only detailed the downtown area and identified 83 properties. Commissioner Deiner-Karr advised the 83 properties also included structures less than 50 years old that were architecturally unique. She noted there were also properties for which an application had been submitted that were not on the list but research found they had historically unique character. Councilmember Moore asked whether the owners of the 83 properties had been notified their property was identified on the survey. Commissioner Deiner-Karr advised some had been contacted; a notification strategy was being considered. Councilmember Plunkett recognized Historic Preservation Commissioners for their specific efforts and thanked the Council for providing the funds for the survey of downtown properties and funds for plaques. Councilmember Plunkett referred to the Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission Conceptual Design Standards for possible Heritage Neighborhood provided by the Historic Preservation Commission, advising these were design standards, not guidelines as the intent was to codify the standards for the BD1 zone so that new construction or renovation was required to meet historic standards. He noted the design standards were the result of the work of Mark Hinshaw as well as Rob Chave. Councilmember Plunkett referred to the comment in the Planning report that the next step in the process was to share the draft with the Planning Board, expressing concern with the possibility of forwarding the draft to the Planning Board before the Council approved the concept. Commissioner Van Tassell commented the intent of the presentation to the Community Services/Development Services Committee was to obtain input from the Council. He urged the Council to provide additional feedback. Councilmember Plunkett preferred the Council approve the concept before the draft was forwarded to the Planning Board. Commissioner Waite envisioned workshops with the Planning Board as well as input from the public. Councilmember Marin recalled the draft was presented to the Community Services/Development Services Committee and after further review, he was prepared to provide feedback. He was satisfied with forwarding the Design Guidelines for Building Design (pages 5-14) to the Planning Board immediately. Recognizing the need for incentives to encourage property owners to register their properties, he suggested the next priority for the Commission be to finalize a recommendation on incentives, present it to the Community Services/Development Services Committee, then to the Council and then to the Planning Board. He was uncomfortable with the first four pages of the draft code language. Due to the shift of the ADB review to the beginning of the process, he was not comfortable with having two Historic Preservation Commissioners be voting members on the ADB but did not object to two Commissioners serving in an advisory role on the ADB. Packet Page 6 of 195 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes February 27, 2007 Page 5 With regard to the language requiring HPC review of demolition applications, Councilmember Marin noted this review was too late in the process. He preferred property owners be encouraged to preserve their buildings via incentives for registry. He was satisfied with the language regarding dimensions. Councilmember Plunkett asked staff to speak to design guidelines versus design standards. Planning Manager Rob Chave recalled the Commission’s feeling was that these items were important enough that all buildings in the downtown core should respond to them and therefore were more appropriate as standards in the code. He agreed with the suggestion for Historic Preservation Commissioners to advise the ADB, noting the logistics would need to be worked out. Mr. Chave advised the demolition standards required further review by the City Attorney which could be accomplished during the Planning Board’s review. He noted the draft was primarily a HPC product and had not had a detailed review by staff. For Councilmember Plunkett, Mr. Chave advised the entire document could be forwarded to the Planning Board for review or forward only pages 5-14 and after further refinement, forward pages 1-4. Councilmember Wambolt was comfortable with forwarding the design standards developed by Mr. Hinshaw and refined by Mr. Chave to the Planning Board, suggesting the document prepared by ACE accompany the design standards. Council President Olson suggested as ACE was not a City organization, the information prepared by ACE could be provided to the Planning Board for their deliberations. Councilmember Wambolt agreed as long as the Planning Board reviewed the information. Councilmember Plunkett was reluctant for the Council to forward the ACE document as well as the first four pages of the discussion document to avoid the appearance that the Council was endorsing it in concept. He noted ACE or any other individual or group could submit information to the Planning Board. He supported forwarding the Historic Design Standards to the Planning Board. Councilmember Marin agreed the ACE material should not accompany the design standards and suggested ACE provide the material to the Planning Board. Councilmember Moore asked what happened if the Council did not act on the design standards tonight. Commissioner Van Tassell answered forwarding one without the other would be out of context. He preferred the documents be forwarded to the Planning Board together as one document. Councilmember Orvis inquired about the provision to relocate a historic building. Commissioner Van Tassell answered the August Johnson House was an example of an opportunity for a house to be moved to an appropriate location and remain on the registry. Councilmember Orvis asked if the building could be moved outside the Heritage Neighborhood. Commissioner Van Tassell answered yes, which would allow construction of a new building on the site. Councilmember Orvis asked whether dimensional waivers would be addressed by grandfathering. Commissioner Van Tassell answered a house that was out of compliance may be required to be brought into compliance when improvements were made. Commissioner Waite advised the City Attorney was drafting verbiage regarding non-compliance. He advised this provision would allow improvements to a structure without penalty. Councilmember Orvis agreed there appeared to be issues on the first four pages that needed to be addressed. He preferred the members representing the HPC on the ADB be voting members. He recommended withholding the dimensional section to ensure historic issues were mitigated. He preferred the Council address these issues before forwarding them to the Planning Board but was comfortable forwarding the design standards section to the Planning Board. Packet Page 7 of 195 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes February 27, 2007 Page 6 Councilmember Plunkett observed the design standards on pages 5-14 were code and pages 1-4 were policy. The Planning Board could begin reviewing the design standards while the Council discussed the policy issues further. He preferred the Council discuss the policy issues further before forwarding them to the Planning Board. Councilmember Moore noted the usual process was for the Planning Board to do this preliminary work and gather public input. She preferred the entire document be forwarded to the Planning Board at once. Councilmember Wambolt understood from the HPC that the first four pages were a work in progress and the Commission needed to answer the questions posed in the document before the Council could deliberate on it. Commissioner Van Tassell commented the intent of tonight’s meeting was not to discuss the document but rather to present the HPC's work. For Councilmember Moore, Mr. Chave explained the design guidelines developed by the ADB were more general in nature and addressed many areas in the City; the HPC's design standards were tailored to a specific district. He recalled the intent was as design standards for individual neighborhoods/districts were developed, the ADB’s review would occur at the beginning of the process. The new design review process that would be presented to the Council next month included an up-front design review and identification of which areas it would apply to. The draft identified the Hwy. 99 CG zones as well as downtown. That could also include these design standards for a portion of downtown. Councilmember Moore asked if the HPC was comfortable with the entire document. Commissioner Van Tassell stated there were still many questions to be answered in the draft discussion document. Councilmember Marin suggested adding “BD1” and “preserve and mimic historic architectural design elements and provide a mechanism to participate in the review of proposed projects” to the first paragraph of the Purpose section. He explained the intent was to encourage the preservation of buildings with historical architectural significance and if the owner was not interested in preserving the building, require that they mimic the architectural features of a good downtown. Whether that isolated a period of 1890 to 1930 was not as important because the elements identified in design standards that made a good downtown in 1930 also made a good downtown retail core today and in the future. With the addition, he supported forwarding the purpose section to the Planning Board to provide context for the design standards. Council President Olson asked when the Planning Board could begin reviewing the design standards. Mr. Chave answered the Planning Board would begin their review when the Council referred it. Council President Olson was concerned with slowing the process. Mr. Chave asked whether the Council wanted the HPC to do further refinement and return it to the Council or forward it to the Planning Board. Councilmember Moore commented the intent was always for the Arts Corridor to be different from the downtown zones. She suggested consideration be given to how the design standards would apply to the Arts Corridor, acknowledging it may require coordination with the Arts Commission. COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MARIN, TO FORWARD TO THE PLANNING BOARD THE HISTORIC DESIGN STANDARDS WITH THE PURPOSE PREAMBLE AS AMENDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MARIN. Councilmember Moore advised she would not support the motion as the HPC requested more time to work on the document. Councilmember Plunkett commented the portion the HPC wanted to work on was the discussion document, the Commission and Mr. Chave were comfortable with forwarding the historic design standards to the Planning Board. Packet Page 8 of 195 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes February 27, 2007 Page 7 Commissioners agreed with forwarding the design standards to the Planning Board with revised purpose statement, noting the remainder of the draft discussion document was still under construction. Mayor Haakenson was concerned the Planning Board would review the design standards and then later receive the discussion/policy portion of the document. Councilmember Plunkett pointed out the Planning Board could begin their review of the design standards, noting there were still policy issues to be resolved. He was concerned with forwarding the policy issues to the Planning Board before the Council had reached a consensus on those concepts. Councilmember Moore preferred to complete both documents before forwarding them to the Planning Board. The Planning Board had many other items they were working on. Mayor Haakenson advised the Planning Board had recently prioritized their schedule for the next five months. Commissioner Kindness advised the subcommittee could complete the first four pages at their next meeting. Councilmember Plunkett commented his concern was it had taken three months to get to this point and was concerned there would be further delay. He was frustrated with the pace and with the number of unanswered questions on the first four pages. If the policy portion could be returned to the Council within a month, he was comfortable with forwarding the entire document to the Planning Board at one time. Councilmember Orvis observed there were two different documents, design standards and implementation, and did not think they necessarily needed to be forwarded to the Planning Board at the same time. Councilmember Moore and Council President Olson supported allowing the HPC additional time to complete their work and forward both parts to the Planning Board at one time. Councilmember Marin was anxious to move forward but was willing to allow the HPC more time. COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT WITHDREW HIS MOTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OF THE SECOND. Councilmember Plunkett clarified his expectation was the HPC’s review would be completed in 30 days and if not, he wanted the design standards to be forwarded to the Planning Board. Councilmembers discussed whether to forward the document to the Planning Board or return it to the City Council to resolve the policy issues and agreed the HPC would return to the full Council with the intent of reviewing and forwarding the document to the Planning Board that night. 6. PRESENTATION OF HIGHWAY 99 TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AND SAFETY STUDY REPORT. THE HIGHWAY 99 TASK FORCE WILL ALSO BRIEF COUNCIL ON POTENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS UNDER STUDY. Councilmember Marin advised the intent of the Hwy. 99 Taskforce’s work was to provide synergy and momentum to attract projects to the Hwy. 99 corridor that would enhance the neighborhood and the City in general. Traffic Engineer Don Sims explained there were 35,000 vehicle trips per day in the Hwy. 99 corridor, predicted to increase to 50,000 vehicle trips per day in the next 20 years. He advised it was a challenging corridor for pedestrians and was extensively used by transit. Mr. Sims introduced Dan Hansen, Perteet Engineering, who reviewed the project development process which included review of existing conditions, identification of deficiencies, technical workshops, development of alternatives, evaluation of alternatives and final recommendations. He reviewed project Packet Page 9 of 195 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes February 27, 2007 Page 8 goals which included evaluating transportation needs, considering potential redevelopment, prioritizing a list of projects, identifying projects for early implementation and adoption by the City Council. He displayed a map of the SR99 study area from SR104 to 212th along the Hwy. 99 corridor and one block on each side. He displayed an aerial map of the existing land uses that include multi family housing, hospital, commercial and car dealerships. He identified the level of service (LOS) at intersections, noting there were several at LOS E and F, the worst being 220th.. Mr. Hansen explained there were few opportunities for pedestrians to cross the corridor; there were no crossings between 224th and 238th. He noted there were multi family developments in this area as well as numerous transit users who were stranded on one side of the road without a crossing, necessitating they cross at unsignalized intersections. He displayed a chart illustrating accident data for the corridor, advising there had been approximately 600 accidents in a three year period. He reviewed collisions by type at 220th Street SW, at 224th, at 76th, and along the corridor. Mr. Hansen explained the SR99 Technical Advisory Committee was comprised of staff from Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Shoreline and WSDOT. The Committee participated in design workshops and developed a list of project alternatives. He described the Committee’s review of the effectiveness of the ten alternatives based on political feasibility and acceptance; reduction of travel time; improvement in vehicle safety; transit passenger access, convenience and safety; bicycle access, convenience and safety; aesthetics/quality of user experience; neighborhood impacts; environmental impacts; and project costs and benefits. Mr. Hansen reviewed the following eight recommended projects: 1. Traffic Signal at SR99 & 228th Street SW and 76th Street improvements 2. Capacity improvements at SR99 & 212th Street SW 3. Capacity improvements at SR99 & 216th Street SW 4. Continuous illumination 5. Right turn pocket at 220th Street SW 6. SR104 to 238th Street SW safety improvements 7. 220th to 224th median and safety improvements 8. 234th to 238th median and safety improvements Mr. Hansen explained two other projects, a traffic signal at 240th Street SW and a traffic signal at 234th Street SW, were considered but not recommended. He noted the SR99 BRT Study recommended a stop at 220th which was being pursued by Community Transit. He identified next steps that include incorporating the projects into the CIP, the City proceeding with 30% design and applying for regional grant funding. Councilmember Marin explained the intent of the Hwy. 99 Taskforce was to identify impediments to development while being sensitive to adjoining neighborhoods. The intent was to advance some of the projects identified via the traffic study to the CIP and fund them to a 30% design level so that they were ready to compete for grant funding. Councilmember Marin displayed a preliminary sketch of the Magic Toyota property, pointing out a multi- story parking structure on the south end of the property that would allow the dealership to accomplish the necessary amount of space. He noted this was the same dealer who developed a flagship US dealership in Bellevue and planned to do a similar development in Edmonds. He noted car dealerships generated a substantial amount of the City’s tax revenue. One of the challenges of developing property on Hwy. 99 in the Edmonds area was there were few large parcels and many of the developments needed more property. Packet Page 10 of 195 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes February 27, 2007 Page 9 Councilmember Marin introduced property owner Dale Behar who described his plans to develop the property on the corner of 220th and Hwy. 99. Mr. Behar explained the site is approximately 6.5 acres and contains 4-5 occupied buildings. He displayed a rendering of their vision, advising they hoped to begin construction in 2009. The project is 460,000 square feet total; 100,000 square feet on the ground floor for retail/restaurants, approximately 100,000 square feet of office space and approximately 300,000 square feet of apartments. When the project is complete, there will be 350-400 residents and a daily workforce of 700-800. He plans to develop the site with a new cutting edge, green, transit-oriented project. He expects between 8,000-9,000 visitors per day, noting providing parking for that volume is daunting, thus they need help from transit. He envisions investing upward of $120 million and expect to open the development in 2010 with occupancy occurring in 2010-2011. Mr. Behar described benefits of the project including an opportunity for longer hours for retailers due to workforce arriving early and residential users later which resulted in more profitability for retailers and more sales tax for the City. He explained they were in negotiations with Community Transit for a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stop, envisioning the BRT stop and the transit-oriented development as flagships for the nation. He noted the sustainability they planned to market for the development had previously only been done for luxury projects. He acknowledged they had no commitment from Community Transit with regard to the BRT stop, and without a BRT stop, the project would be different than proposed. Mayor Haakenson asked Mr. Behar to describe where he wanted the BRT stop to be, the use of each of the buildings on the site, and underground parking. Mr. Behar explained in talking with Community Transit, the bus stop may be located on the southern edge of the property to provide more space from the intersection. The small building near the bus stop would contain a coffee shop/restaurant for transit users. He described their plans to provide a readerboard in each building displaying next bus information, commenting Community Transit did not think this was necessary as the buses would run very frequently. He described proposed uses on the site including the coffee shop/restaurant near the bus stop, a bookstore/coffee shop, Starbucks, sit-down restaurant, commercial uses, medical office building, and possibly a bicycle barn in the rear adjacent to the interurban trail. He also described underground parking, accessed from 220th, that would be provided via taking advantage of the natural slope. Councilmember Moore commented this was the most exciting thing she had heard in the past three years and thanked Mr. Behar for working with the Hwy. 99 Taskforce. She asked whether he was working with Community Transit on commuter parking. Mr. Behar advised they were not currently planning any commuter parking. He noted additional parking would require extensive excavation and considerable expense. The parking they planned to provide would serve the residents, workforce and customers. He noted building parking was one of the most expensive components of this project. Councilmember Moore recalled Sound Transit was always concerned with whether their riders could park. For Councilmember Moore, Mr. Behar advised this project on the southeast corner of the Hwy. 99 & 220th intersection was entirely within the Edmonds city limits. With regard to the transit arrival time clock, Councilmember Moore commented she recently returned from Washington DC and although the trains arrive frequently, there was a countdown clock. Mr. Behar advised they would like to have a countdown clock in the lobby of the residential building, office and in retail spaces, noting it would provide shoppers more freedom. Councilmember Marin displayed photographs of buses proposed for the BRT service, noting they had wheel skirts so that they resembled a light rail-type train and wide doors to allow passengers to enter and exit at the same time at three different locations on the bus. Community Transit recently approved the sale of fare media at the station rather than on the bus. He displayed a drawing of the Swift Station concept, advising BRT would compliment Route 101 with very frequent service. Packet Page 11 of 195 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes February 27, 2007 Page 10 Councilmember Marin advised next Stevens Hospital would describe plans for their campus. Mike Carter, Stevens Hospital Chief Executive Officer, stated they were very excited to have begun the planning process for the next addition to Stevens Hospital. Thirty days ago they began the process for a Master Site Facilities Plan and hired Callison Architects to assist them. He introduced Bob Hutnik, Callison Architects, and Sarah Zabel, Vice President Campus Development. Polly Pool, Stevens Hospital, a participant on the Hwy. 99 Taskforce, advised 2006 marked the year that Stevens Hospital successfully completed a 2-year turnaround effort as well as launched a new era of leadership and strategic thinking, planning and action. The 3-year Strategic Plan, coupled with their 2007 Business Plan had a component that was key to this discussion – to initiate an aggressive time table and planning effort to replace, expand, modify and maintain Stevens Hospital campus facilities to meet the community’s needs. She described their efforts to fix up the facilities including power washing and scrubbing of the building exterior, painting internal accent colors in public corridors and several outpatient treatment areas, redecorating physician-occupied spaces, and replacing tired flooring on the first floor of the east building utilizing color points to facilitate wayfinding. Ms. Pool displayed an aerial photograph of the Stevens Hospital campus and described the launch of the Master Site Facilities Planning process that included Callison Architects walking all the buildings and the campus to identify strengths, weaknesses and opportunities. The next step is considering the campus and building needs and uses through the eyes of community stakeholders. She displayed a comparison of tax support for hospital districts via bond/levy rates, commenting the Stevens Hospital bond would be retired in a few years, currently assessed at a rate of 10 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. She summarized the Master Site Facilities Plan process identified the vision for the future, Stevens Hospital would seek to partner with the community for support of the vision – to be a trusted and financially strong provider of high quality healthcare services who collaborates with others to creatively respond to healthcare needs in a diverse community. She hoped to bring their depiction of the vision to future work sessions upon completion of the Master Site Facilities Plan in order to share their vision and make a compelling case for needs, development, replacement and/or building on the Stevens Hospital campus. Councilmember Marin summarized the vision was to transform the community hospital into a regional facility. He hoped this presentation demonstrated interest in development in the Hwy. 99 corridor. Councilmember Moore commented Stevens Hospital was an asset to the area and she looked forward to supporting them in the future. She complimented Councilmember Marin for his original request to fund the study and his efforts on the Hwy. 99 Taskforce, noting this was the result of very hard work. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, TO APPROVE THE REPORT AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE HIGHWAY 99 TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AND SAFETY STUDY. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Dave Page, Edmonds, commented the Hwy. 99 report was an example of partnering with private enterprise. Speaking on behalf of the Lake Ballinger Community Association, he described problems with flooding, and a bigger problem caused by pollutants from the over 2,000 storm drains that flow into Lake Ballinger from Lynnwood, Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, and Shoreline. He referred to the dead zone in Lake Ballinger each summer due to the pollutants. He noted development on Hwy. 99 presented a great opportunity to address pollutants that flow into Lake Ballinger. He noted Mountlake Terrace, Shoreline and Edmonds funded a study to address the problem; Lynnwood which is accountable for Packet Page 12 of 195 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes February 27, 2007 Page 11 approximately 22% of the pollutants, did not participate in the study. He noted the importance of educating the public that the storm drains flowed into Lake Ballinger. He also noted the Lake was eligible for state and federal grants to address stream and lake pollutants. He advised he was speaking to all the City Councils whose storm drains flowed into Lake Ballinger. Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to the picture on the front of the Historic Design Standards that portrayed a three story building although the Council had recently approved regulations allowing only two stories. He noted pages 5, 7, 8 and 9 also portrayed three story buildings. He concluded this provided the wrong impression for developers and he suggested the pictures be revised. Next he pointed out the detail regarding his concern with ADB Chair Utt’s conduct had been omitted from the minutes of the February 20 Council meeting. He requested the minutes be revised. 8. INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL REPORTS ON OUTSIDE COMMITTEE/BOARD MEETINGS Council President Olson reported the Community Technology Advisory Committee meeting was postponed to March 20. Councilmember Moore reported she was on the Board of Trustees for Edmonds Community College and had a meeting with legislators in Washington DC where they lobbied for money for community colleges nationwide, statewide and specifically for Edmonds Community College. She also reported the Community Outreach Committee received a report from the CTAC Committee, made a decision to include senior activities on Channel 21, is working with Edmonds School District and Edmonds Community College regarding ideas for Channel 21, and is working on a mission statement. Councilmember Plunkett reported the Parking Committee was discussing fine levels for parking violations and signs to direct visitors to parking. Councilmember Plunkett explained he was anxious to forward the historic design standards to the Planning Board as the standards and process concepts were unchanged since December. In January the Commission discussed historic districts and in February the Commission toured downtown. He was frustrated with the delay as applications for new buildings and renovations downtown continued to be submitted. He looked forward to further review in 30 days. Councilmember Marin reported Sound Transit and RTID were conducting public outreach that included five open houses to explain the November joint ballot. He invited the public to attend the open house at the Lynnwood Convention Center on March 15 where graphics and charts of Sound Transit and RTID’s plans would be displayed. Councilmember Wambolt reported the Port Commission continued their support of economic development via helping finance the Bird Fest. They also authorized the Executive Director to seek State emergency disaster assistance for December storm damage. He asked whether the City had applied for any disaster relief funds. Mayor Haakenson advised the City had not had a great deal of storm-related damage but had applied for emergency funds to cover storm-related staff overtime. Councilmember Wambolt reported the Port planned to hold a retreat at the Port of Bremerton on April 24-25. Councilmember Orvis reported the Salmon Recovery Council, formerly WRIA 8, elected officers and discussed the potential for State funding. He noted funding was currently provided by King County Conservation district, a levy on King County citizens. Next, Councilmember Orvis reported on the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee meeting that included discussion of better-than-average projected revenues, reviewed current expenditures which include a great deal of advertising and discussed seeking cost estimates for advertising in local brochures.

MAYOR'S COMMENTS Mayor Haakenson commented on the large number of cell phones ringing during tonight’s Council meeting, commenting there may need to be a sign posted on the door reminding the public to turn off their cell phones. Mayor Haakenson complimented the Council for serving on outside regional committees, commenting on the importance of those regional relationships to the City. Mayor Haakenson found it gratifying to finally have Mr. Behar’s project talked about publicly, noting it had been discussed for the past couple years. He remarked projects like that along with the waterfront redevelopment created exciting times for Edmonds. 10. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Moore noted Councilmembers never have an opportunity to discuss topics for new business. She suggested discussing at the retreat the addition of an agenda item where Councilmembers could discuss new business. Next, Councilmember Moore reiterated her request for Council President Olson to define the role of the Council on the Historic Preservation Commission. Councilmember Moore advised next week’s Council meeting would include a public hearing on the ADB’s design guidelines and the Historic Preservation Commission is developing historic design standards for the downtown area as well as a design review process. She suggested after the ADB design guidelines are reviewed, the Historic Preservation Commission’s design standards be incorporated. Councilmember Wambolt commented Old Milltown was at a stage where the developer could proceed as there had not been any appeals. He referred to a quote from a citizen in last week’s Enterprise that getting the city sued did not protect the city’s interests. He was confident there was no current Councilmember who would allow the intimidation of a possible lawsuit to cause them to make what they believed to be the wrong decision. The Council’s decision on Old Milltown was what the majority of citizens wanted and the right decision. The result would be a building that was not long, boring and monotonous like the original proposal; the end result was clearly worth the time and agony the Council went through. Councilmember Wambolt referred to another citizen letter in the February 16 edition of the Enterprise, stating Councilmember Wambolt admitted absolute total surprise of the lawsuits. Councilmember Wambolt clarified he was not surprised when he was not told the truth and may be naïve to expect anything more from some people. For Councilmember Plunkett, Mayor Haakenson advised there had not been any appeals on the second Old Milltown application. Councilmember Plunkett commented that because there was a lawsuit pending, the Council needed to be careful what they said about it. Mayor Haakenson agreed Councilmembers needed to be careful not to talk about the first application. 11.

Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Council authorize Staff to call for bids for the 164 th Street SW Walkway and the 74th Place West Drainage Improvements projects. Previous Council Action NA Narrative Design for the 164 th Street SW Walkway project is complete. The adopted 2007 capital budget includes $270,000 for construction of this project in Fund 132, Parks Construction Fund. Construction is planned for this summer, 2007. Subsequent to preparation of the 2007-2008 capital budget, the Public Works Department identified an emergent drainage problem on 74th Place West at Meadowdale Beach Road. Design of a solution for this problem is nearing completion and the preliminary estimated construction cost is $100,000. The location of this project is near the 164 th Place SW Walkway project and the nature of construction is similar. Staff has determined that it makes sense to include both these projects in the same construction contract. Funding for the 74th Place West Drainage Improvements project is not included as a specific project in the 2007-2008 adopted capital budget, since this project is an emergent requirement identified by Public Works after preparation of the budget. However, $70,000 is included in the 2007 capital budget for general Meadowdale drainage projects, and there is sufficient cash balance in Fund 412 for utilities capital projects. Staff will request that Council appropriate funds for this project after receipt of bids. Revenue & Expenditures Fiscal Impact Attachments No file(s) attached.

Animal Kenneling Services Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:03/06/2007 Submitted By:Al Compaan, Police Department Time:Consent Department:Police Department Type:Action Review Committee:Public Safety Action:Approved for Consent Agenda Agenda Memo Subject Title Contract for Animal Kenneling Services with Adix's Bed & Bath for Dogs and Cats. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff The Police Department recommends City Council approval of this item, authorizing the Mayor to sign the contract. The City Attorney has approved as to form and content. Previous Council Action The Adix contract was previously reviewed by Public Safety Committee on December 5, 2006 and was approved by City Council on December 12, 2006. Since then, a recalculation of the monthly amount due Adix was made, thereby necessitating the contract coming back to City Council. Narrative City Council previously approved the Adix contract at the December 12, 2006 meeting. Since that time, further discussion took place between Adix, the animal disposal vendor, and the cities of Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace. All are contractual partners and all are inter-related through the terms of the Adix contract, the animal disposal contract, and the interlocal agreement that Edmonds has providing animal control services to the city of Mountlake Terrace. Bottom line is that the Adix contract being brought back to City Council this evening is exactly the same as the Adix contract approved by City Council on December 12, 2006, with the exception that the monthly fee due Adix has increased from $1,789.66 to $1,856.26. This is a difference of $66.60 per month. After considering the interface between the aforementioned contracts and the interlocal, Edmonds' net costs between revenue generated by the interlocal and expenses of Adix and animal disposal will be a wash. So this minor revision to the Adix contract ends up amounting to a technical correction/change with no added fiscal impact to Edmonds.

Display of Downtown Employee Parking Permits Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:03/06/2007 Submitted By:Sandy Chase, City Clerk's Office Time:Consent Department:City Clerk's Office Type:Action Review Committee: Action: Agenda Memo Subject Title Proposed Ordinance amending Edmonds City Code 8.51.030, Commute Exemption from Three-Hour Parking Limits, relating to the display of the Employee Parking Permit. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Approve the ordinance amending Edmonds City Code 8.51.030 relating to the display of the Employee Parking Permit to allow for displaying the permit on the rear window of a vehicle. Previous Council Action N/A Narrative The City Clerk's Office issues parking permits to downtown businesses for their employees. The City Code currently requires the permits to be displayed by hanging the permit from the rear-view mirror or placing the permit on the dashboard. Several requests have been received for the city to offer a parking permit "sticker" that could be placed on a window. At times, users have forgotten to display the parking permit as required by the current Code and have received tickets. By permanently placing a permit on a window, this no longer becomes an issue. In addition, Parking Enforcement staff approached the City Clerk's Office requesting that a change be considered in the Code allowing for a permit to be displayed on the rear window of the driver's side of the vehicle. With the current use of a parking enforcement vehicle, it is more efficient for staff to view the permit when it is placed on the rear window. A draft ordinance was prepared allowing for a parking permit "sticker" to be displayed on the rear window (driver's side). A copy of the ordinance is attached as Exhibit 1. The ordinance was considered by the Downtown Edmonds Parking Committee on January 9, 2007. The Committee recommended approval of the ordinance. A copy of the minutes is attached as Exhibit 2.

Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Council authorize the Mayor to sign Supplemental Agreement No. 6 to the professional services agreement with Perteet, Inc. in the amount of $48,771 for additional construction administration and construction engineering support services for the 220 th Street SW improvements project. Previous Council Action On June 7, 2005 Council awarded a construction contract to Marshbank Construction in the amount of $4,322,113.73 for the 220th Street SW improvements project. On June 20, 2006, Council authorized the Mayor to sign Supplemental Agreement No. 5 to the professional services agreement with Perteet in the amount of $44,286 for additional construction administration and construction engineering support services for this project. On November 21, 2006, Council approved the 2006 Final Budget Amendment, including a budget amendment for the 220th Street SW improvements project. Narrative Project Update: Construction of the 220 th Street SW improvements project was substantially completed and the road was opened to traffic in July 2006. Since July 2006, the contractor has completed landscaping, modular block walls, fencing, property restoration, and other details. Completion of this project marks a significant improvement to 220 th Street SW and completion of a project that has been a high priority for the City of Edmonds for many years. The construction included: Reconstruction and widening of the road from 84th Ave West to 9 th Avenue South. Grading to improve visibility and safety Sidewalks and bike lanes on both sides Left turn pockets at selected intersections (9th, 96 th, 95 th and 84th) Traffic signals at 84th Avenue West and at 9 th Avenue South Lighted pedestrian crossing at 96th Avenue West Permanent radar speed signs Landscaping behind the sidewalk at selected locations Associated relocation and installation of utilities. Construction funding included $3.26 million in State and Federal grants, $400,000 in low-interest Public Works Trust Fund loans, and approximately $700,000 in reimbursement from funding partners including the Olympic View Water and Sewer District, Edmonds School District, and the City of Edmonds water, sewer and storm utilities. Other partners who participated through in-kind contributions included Snohomish County PUD, Puget Sound Energy, Verizon, Comcast and the U.S. Post Office. The construction contract for this project is a unit price contract. The contract was bid and awarded based upon estimated quantities for over 140 bid items, and the total final contract amount is based upon actual final quantities of work installed at the bid unit prices. Although final project closeout actions remain to be completed, work on project closeout is sufficiently complete that we are now able to estimate a final total project construction cost, including construction administration and engineering, right of way acquisition, public art, and miscellaneous other minor costs. As is typical in construction contracts like the 220 th Street SW improvements project, actual quantities have varied from estimated quantities, and construction change orders have increased the cost as construction progressed. Some of the revenues into the project budget have also increased. Project Construction Budget: As summarized in Attachment 1, the total project construction budget, including grants, loans, reimbursable amounts and other funding sources, authorized by Council in June 2005 was $5,075,650. This budget included Packet Page 104 of 195 construction contract, contingency, construction administration and engineering, public art, right of way acquisition and miscellaneous other minor costs. On November 21, 2006, Council approved the 2006 Final Budget Amendment, including an increase in 2006 capital project expenditures in Fund 112 for this project, which increased the overall project construction budget for the 220 th Street SW Improvements project to $5,689,510. Included in the revised budget are increased revenues from reimbursable partners in the project (Olympic View Water & Sewer District and Edmonds School District) to pay for change orders for requested scope increases for their elements of the project. Increased revenues also included $282,453 in Traffic Impact Fees ($277,011) and sidewalk “in-lieu” payments ($5,442) from private development projects not included in the construction budget authorized by Council in June 2005. Project Construction Cost: Also as indicated in Attachment 1, the estimated final total project construction cost is approximately $5,405,000, including construction, construction administration and engineering, right of way acquisition, public art, and miscellaneous other minor costs. As noted above, actual quantities have varied from estimated quantities (some have been greater and some have been less than estimated quantities), and construction change orders have increased the cost as construction progressed. There have been several significant items that have caused the overall project construction cost to increase over the original construction budget authorized by Council in June 2005. These items included the following (as summarized in Attachment 2): Construction Contract Cost: 1. a. Scope increase requested by reimbursable project partners. Through their interlocal agreements for the project, Olympic View Water and Sewer District requested a change order for the addition of a Pressure Reducing Valve Vault at the cost of $30,198, and the Edmonds School District requested paving and other playground improvements at Westgate Elementary School at a cost of $67,724. The City has been reimbursed for these costs. b. A change order was required at a cost of $29,913 to provide a left turn pocket on 9 th Ave S. for vehicles turning left onto 220 th Street SW. The City has been reimbursed for this cost by the design engineering consultant. c. A change order was required for additional storm drainage improvements at a cost of $41,641 to address ponding and related drainage issues on abutting private properties caused by changes in the grade of 220 th Street SW and which could not be identified during the design. d. The quantity of modular block walls required was underestimated by 1902 square feet. This resulted in a cost increase of $34,227 from the bid amount of $163,260 to an actual total of $197,487. There were a number of locations where the design did not anticipate modular block walls would be required, but they were determined to be needed when grading was completed and the new road and sidewalk were constructed. e. The contract included time-and-materials bid items for property restoration, erosion control, and unforeseen site conditions with an estimated amount of $75,000 provided in the bid documents. This amount proved to be underestimated and actual cost ($169,540) exceeded the estimated amount by $94,540. Examples of work in this item included regrading of private property to blend into new street and driveways, special driveway treatments to match existing, fence restorations, resolving underground utility conflicts, silt fencing and other erosion control measures, and removal of obstructions and debris not shown on plans. f. The most significant single item of cost increase ($330,695) was in traffic control. Traffic control is paid on a unit price per hour, as required by WSDOT on projects with Federal grant funds. The estimated number of traffic control hours for the contract bid amount was based upon totally closing the road to all but residents, as was our original plan. However, this proved to be impractical due to the number of drivers who continually disregarded traffic barricades, which necessitated implementation of increased and continuous traffic control to ensure safety of workers and the public. In addition, the project duration was extended by delays in Verizon relocating their lines and other excusable delays, which also necessitated increased traffic control hours. This cost increase is partly reimbursed by the project funding partners on a prorated basis. 2. Construction administration and engineering . In January 2006, the City’s Traffic Engineer, who had been the project manager for this project for the prior 4 1/2 years, resigned to take a position with the project’s design engineering consultant. To maintain continuity on this major project, it was determined to be in the best interest of the City to increase the consultant’s scope of services for the remainder of the project to include the majority of the project management duties previously performed by the City’s Traffic Engineer prior to his resignation, thus enabling him to continue performing these duties in his new capacity with the consultant. This resulted in an unanticipated additional project management cost of approximately $140,000. This cost increase is also partly reimbursed by the project funding partners on a prorated basis. Supplemental Agreement No. 6: The 220th Street SW improvements project was designed by Perteet, Inc. On March 22, 2005, Council authorized the Mayor to sign Supplemental Agreement No. 3 to Perteet’s professional services agreement for Perteet to provide construction administration and construction engineering support services. Subsequently, Council authorized the Mayor to sign Supplemental Agreements No. 4 and No. 5 to the professional services agreement for additional construction administration and construction engineering support services for this project. A significant portion of the additional construction administration and construction engineering support services was to increase the scope of services provided by Perteet for the remainder of the project to include the majority of the duties previously performed by the City Traffic Engineer. Packet Page 105 of 195 The scope of services and budget for the original contract and supplemental agreements executed to date anticipated an average of 20 hours per week being spent on City project administration through August 2006, and a total of an additional 60 hours from September through December 2006 for project closeout. The actual effort required has been significantly more to ensure completion of all construction requirements, negotiate final quantities with the contractor, complete project documentation for WSDOT audit, and other project closeout requirements. It is now anticipated that the remaining project closeout actions will require continued support from Perteet through approximately June 2007. Supplemental Agreement No 6 is to compensate Perteet for the effort required over and above that anticipated in the previous supplemental agreements as well as the estimated additional effort required through project closeout. Because this project is being funded in part by the Federal government, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) requires the use of their Local Agency Standard Consultant Agreement form, rather than the City’s standard Professional Services Agreement form. The proposed supplemental agreement has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and is provided as Attachment 3. There is sufficient funding available in the approved project budget to award this supplemental agreement.

Design Guidelines / New "Up-front" Design Review Process Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:03/06/2007 Submitted By:Rob Chave, Planning Submitted For:Rob Chave Time:45 Minutes Department:Planning Type:Action Review Committee: Action: Agenda Memo Subject Title Public Hearing on the Planning Board recommendation to update the Edmonds Community Development Code with new Design Guidelines and a new "up-front" design review process applicable to specific districts (initially limited to Downtown and Highway 99). Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Approve the Planning Board recommendation and direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance for Council adoption. Previous Council Action City Council referred the development of a new "up front" design review process and accompanying design guidelines to the Planning Board on June 6, 2006. The Council reviewed the Planning Board recommendation on February 6, 2007, and set March 6, 2007, for a public hearing. See Exhibit 4 for a more detailed history on this subject. Narrative The Planning Board has completed its review and recommendation on a new design review process which would move the ADB to the front of the process. A public hearing was held on December 13, 2006, and the Board completed its recommendation in January. Exhibit 1 contains the Planning Board recommended code language that would implement the new design review process together with the new ADB-developed design guidelines contained in Exhibit 2. Under the proposal, there would be two options for design review. ECDC 20.10.060 probably describes it best: There are two types of design review, (1) general design review subject to the provisions of Chapter 20.11 ECDC, and (2) district-based design review subject to the provisions of Chapter 20.12 ECDC. District-based design review is applicable when an area or district has adopted design guidelines or design standards that apply specifically within that area or district. General design review applies to areas or properties that do not have specifically adopted design guidelines or standards. “General design review” is essentially design review as it has been done for many years in Edmonds. The new "up front," district-based process is intended to be applied to more and more areas of the city, eventually entirely replacing the current system as more specific design standards are incorporated into the city’s codes and neighborhood-based plans. Note that the ADB guidelines contained in Exhibit 2 would only be used in the "up front" design review process. The new district-based design review process would use a two-phased public hearing for major projects. The preliminary meeting with the ADB (when the checklist discussion is held) is “Phase 1” of the public hearing, while the next meeting with the ADB to review the project concept for compliance with the ADB guidelines is considered to be a continuation of the public hearing (termed “Phase 2” of the public hearing). This is to avoid any hint of the two-part meeting as comprising two separate public hearings on the same proposal. Note that this is supported by the fact that there is only one opportunity for appeal – after Phase 2 has been completed. Projects that do not require review by the ADB (e.g. projects that don't exceed SEPA thresholds) would be reviewed by staff in conjunction with a building permit application, making sure that the project complies with all design standards adopted in city codes. The new design chapters also incorporate the new landscaping standards taken from the 2001 draft design guidelines. These are mainly reflected in the five landscape “types” included in ECDC 20.13. Also included in the new design review process are the design guidelines and design checklist developed by the ADB. The flow chart in Exhibit 3 summarizes and compares the proposed “new” or “up-front” design review process with the current one employed by the city. Note that the current design review process and standards have generally been retained in ECDC 20.11, with a few exceptions. The "view" provisions highlighted at the top of pages 6 and 7 have been the subject of a moratorium on their application during the design review process, and have been recommended for deletion by the Planning Board as being too vague in both their Packet Page 112 of 195 interpretation and application.

In addition to the general purposes of the comprehensive plan and the zoning ordinance, this chapter is included in the community development code for the following purposes: A. To encourage the realization and conservation of a desirable and aesthetic environment in the city of Edmonds; B. To encourage and promote development which features amenities and excellence in the form of variations of siting, types of structures and adaptation to and conservation of topography and other natural features; C. To encourage creative approaches to the use of land and related physical developments; D. To encourage the enhancement and preservation of land or building of unique or outstanding scenic or historical significance; E. To minimize incompatible and unsightly surroundings and visual blight which prevent orderly community development and reduce community property values. [Ord. 3461 § 1, 2003]. 20.10.010 Types of design review. A. There are two types of design review, (1) general design review subject to the provisions of Chapter 20.11 ECDC, and (2) district-based design review subject to the provisions of Chapter 20.12 ECDC. District-based design review is applicable when an area or district has adopted design guidelines or design standards that apply specifically within that area or district. General design review applies to areas or properties that do not have specifically adopted design guidelines or standards. Projects may undergo either district-based design review or general design review, but not both. B. District-based design review applies to the following areas or districts: 1. The downtown Edmonds business districts (BD zones) located within the Downtown/Waterfront Activity Center as shown on the City of Edmonds Comprehensive Plan Map. Packet Page 114 of 195 Design Review draft / 2006.12.13 Page 2 2. The general commercial (CG and CG2) zones located within the Medical/Highway 99 Activity Center or the Highway 99 Corridor as shown on the City of Edmonds Comprehensive Plan Map. C. General design review applies to all areas of the city not specifically designated for district-based design review under ECDC 20.10.010.B, above. D. The exemptions established pursuant to ECDC 20.10.010(B) shall apply to all types and phases of design review under ECDC Chapters 20.10, 20.11, and 20.12. 20.10.010 020 Scope. A.

The Architectural Design Board (ADB) process has been developed in order to provide for public and design professional input prior to the expense incurred by a developer in preparation of detailed design. In combination, Chapters 20.10 and 20.12 are intended to permit public and ADB input at an early point in the process while providing greater assurance to a developer that his general project design has been approved before the final significant expense of detailed project design is incurred. In general, the process is as follows: A. Public hearing (Phase 1). The applicant shall submit a preliminary conceptual design to the City. Upon receipt, staff shall provide full notice of a public hearing, noting that the public hearing shall be conducted in two phases. The entire single public hearing on the conceptual design shall be on the record. At the initial phase, the applicant shall present facts which describe in detail the tract of land to be developed noting all significant characteristics. The ADB shall make factual findings regarding the particular characteristics of the property and shall prioritize the design guideline checklist based upon these facts, the provisions of the City’s design guideline elements of the Comprehensive Plan and the Edmonds Community Development Code. Following establishment of the design guideline checklist, the public hearing shall be continued to a date- certain requested by the applicant, not to exceed 120 days from the meeting date. The 120-day city review period required by RCW #### commences with the application for Phase 1 of ht public hearing. The 120-day time period is suspended, however, while the applicant further develops their application for Phase 2 of the public hearing. B. Continued public hearing (public hearing, Phase 2). The purpose of the continuance is to permit the applicant to design or redesign his initial conceptual design to comply with the input of the public and the ADB in light of the prioritized design guideline checklist criteria. When the applicant has completed his design or redesign, he shall submit that design for final review. The matter shall be set for the next available regular ADB meeting date. If the applicant fails to submit Packet Page 122 of 195 Design Review draft / 2006.12.13 Page 10 his or her design within 180 days, the staff shall report the matter to the ADB who shall note that the applicant has failed to comply with the requirements of the code and find that the original design checklist criteria approval is void. The applicant may reapply at any time. Such reapplication shall establish a new 120- day review period and establish a new vesting date. C. After completing the hearing process, the final detailed design shall be presented to the City in conjunction with the applicable building permit application. The City staff’s decision on the building permit shall be a ministerial act applying the specific conditions or requirements set forth in the ADB’s approval, but only those requirements. A staff decision on the building permit shall be final and appealable only as provided in the Land Use Petition Act. No other internal appeal of the staff’s ministerial decisions on the building permit is allowed. D. The process is schematically represented by the following flow chart. 20.12.010 Applicability. Review. The architectural design board (ADB) shall review all proposed developments that require a threshold determination under the State Enivronmental Policy Act (SEPA) using the process set forth in ECDC 20.12.020, below. All other developments may be approved by staff using the process set forth in eCDC 20.12.030, below. When design review is required by the ADB under ECDC 20.12.020, the staff shall review the application as provided in ECDC 20.95.030, and the director of development services – or his designee – shall schedule the item for a meeting of the ADB. 20.12.020 Design Review by the Architectural Design Board. A. Public hearing – Phase 1. Phase 1 of the public hearing shall be scheduled with the Architectural Design Board (ADB) as a public meeting. Notice of the Packet Page 123 of 195 Design Review draft / 2006.12.13 Page 11 meeting shall be provided according to the requirements of ECDC 20.91.010. This notice may be combined with the formal Notice of Application required under ECDC 20.90.010, as appropriate. 1. The purpose of Phase 1 of the public hearing is for the ADB to identifty the relative importance of design criteria that will apply to the project proposal during the subsequent design review. The basic criteria to be evaluated are listed on the Design Guidelines Checklist contained within the design guidelines and ECDC 20.12. The ADB shall utilize the urban design guidelines and standards contained in the relevant city zoning classification(s), any relevant district-specific design objectives contained in the Comprehensive Plan, and the relevant portions of ECDC 20.12 and 20.13, to identify the relative importance of design criteria; no new, additional criteria proposed in light of the specific characteristics of a particular tract of land or on an ad hoc basis shall be incorporated. 2. Prior to scheduling Phase 1 of the public hearing, the applicant shall submit information necessary to identify the scope and context of the proposed development, including any site plans, diagrams, and/or elevations sufficient to summarize the character of the project, its site, and neighboring property information. At a minimum, an applicant shall submit the following information for consideration during Phase 1 of the public hearing: a. Vicinity Plan showing all significant physical structures and environmentally critical areas within a 200 foot radius of the site including, but not limited to, surrounding building outlines, streets, driveways, sidewalks, bus stops, and land use. Aerial photographs may be used to develop this information. b. Conceptual site plan(s) showing topography (minimum 2-foot intervals), general location of building(s), areas devoted to parking, streets and access, existing open space and vegetation. All concepts being considered for the property should be submitted to assist the ADB in defining all pertinent issues applicable to the site. c. Three-dimensional sketches, photo simulations, or elevations that depict the volume of the proposed structure in relation to the surrounding buildings and improvements. 3. During Phase 1 of the public hearing, the applicant shall be afforded an opportunity to present information on the proposed project. The public shall also be invited to address which design guidelines checklist criteria from ECDC 20.12.070 they feel are pertinent to the project. The Phase 1 meeting shall be considered to be a public hearing and information presented or discussed during the meeting shall be recorded as part of the hearing record. 4. Prior to the close of Phase 1 of the public hearing, the ADB shall identify the specific design guidelines checklist criteria – and their relative importance – that will be applied to the project during the project’s subsequent design review. In submitting an application for design review approval under Chapter 20.12 ECDC, the applicant shall be responsible for Packet Page 124 of 195 Design Review draft / 2006.12.13 Page 12 identifying how the proposed project meets the specific criteria identified by the ADB during the pre-application meeting. 5. Following establishment of the design guidelines checklist, the public hearing shall be continued to a date certain, not exceeding 120 days from the date of Phase 1 of the public hearing. The continuance is intended to provide the applicant with sufficient time to prepare the material required for Phase 1 of the public hearing, including and design or redesign needed to adequately address the input of the public and ADB during Phase 1 of the public hearing. 5. Because Phase 1 of the public hearing is only the first part of a two-part public hearing, there can be no appeal of the design decision until Phase 2 of the public hearing has been completed. B. Continued public hearing – Phase 2. 1. An applicant for Phase 2 design review shall submit information sufficient to evaluate how the project meets the criteria identified by the ADB during Phase 1 of the public heairng described in Chapter 20.12.020.A, above. At a minimum, an applicant shall submit the following information for consideration during Phase 2 of the public hearing: a. Conceptual site plan showing topography (minimum 2-foot intervals), general layout of building, parking, streets and access, and proposed open space. b. Conceptual landscape plan, showing locations of planting areas identifying landscape types, including general plant species and characteristics. c. Conceptual Utility plan, showing access to and areas reserved for water, sewer, storm, electrical power, and fire connections and/or hydrants. d. Conceptual Building elevations for all building faces illustrating building massing and openings, materials and colors, and roof forms. A three-dimensional model may be substituted for the building elevation(s). e If more than one development concept is being considered for the property, the submissions should be developed to clearly identify the development options being considered. f. Optional: Generalized building floor plans may be provided. 2. Staff shall prepare a report summarizing the project and evaluating how it has addressed each of the design guidelines criteria identified by the ADB in Phase 1 of the public hearing. The report shall be mailed to the applicant and ADB at least one week prior to the public hearing. 3. Phase 2 of the public hearing shall be conducted by the ADB as a continuation the Phase 1 public hearing. Notice of the meeting shall be provided according to the requirements of Chapter 20.91 ECDC. During Phase 2 of the public hearing, the ADB shall review the application and identify any conditions that the proposal must meet prior to the issuance of any permit or approval by the city. When conducting this review, the ADB shall enter the following findings prior to issuing its decision on the proposal: Packet Page 125 of 195 Design Review draft / 2006.12.13 Page 13 a. Zoning Ordinance. That the proposal meets the requirements of the zoning ordinance, including the guidelines and standards contained in the relevant zoning classification(s). b. Design Guidelines. That the proposal meets the relevant district- specific design objectives contained in the Comprehensive Plan c. Design Criteria. That the proposal satisfies the specific checklist criteria identied by the ADB during Phase 1 of the public hearing under Chapter 20.12.020.A, above. When conducting its review, the ADB shall not add or impose conditions based on new, additional criteria proposed in light of the specific characteristics of a particular tract of land or on an ad hoc basis. 4. Project consolidation. [Note: City Attorney may need to include additional language as appropriate here.] C. Effect of the decision of the ADB. The decision of the ADB described above in ECDC 20.12.020(B) shall be used by staff to determine if a project complies with the requirements of these chapters during staff review of any subsequent applications for permits or approvals. [Note: City Attorney is developing a revision for the above section which describes the requirements and content of the decision.] 20.12.030 Design Review by city staff. A. Optional pre-application meeting. At the option of the applicant, a pre- application meeting may be scheduled with city staff. The purpose of the meeting is to provide preliminary staff comments on a proposed development to assist the applicant in preparing an application for development approval. Submission requirements and rules of procedure for this optional pre-application meeting shall be adopted by city staff consistent with the purposes of this Chapter. B. Application and staff decision. 1. An applicant for design review shall submit information sufficient to evalute how the project meets the criteria applicable to the project. Staff shall develop a checklist of submission requirements and review criteria necessary to support this intent. When design review is intended to accompany and be part of an application for another permit or approval, such as a building permit, the submission requirements and design review may be completed as part of the associated permit process. 2. In reviewing an application for design review, Staff shall review the project checklist and evaluate whether the project has addressed each of the applicable design criteria. Staff shall enter the following findings prior to issuing a decision on the proposal: a. Zoning Ordinance. That the proposal meets the requirements of the zoning ordinance, including the guidelines and standards contained in the relevant zoning classification(s). b. Design Guidelines.

Packet Page 135 of 195 Page 1 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 Applying the Design Guidelines When designing projects and issuing permits for new developments, applicants and City staff will rely on these guidelines to help define specific design conditions that will be required for project approval. As these design guidelines get applied to particular development projects, some important things to remember are: 1. Each project is unique and will pose unique design issues. Even two similar proposals on the same block may face different design considerations. With some projects, trying to follow all of the guidelines could produce irreconcilable conflicts in the design. With most projects, reviewers will find some guidelines more important than others, and the guidelines that are most important on one project might not be important at all on the next one. The design review process will help designers and reviewers to determine which guidelines are most important in the context of each project so that they may put the most effort into accomplishing the intent of those guidelines. 2. Project must be reviewed in the context of their zoning and the zoning of their surroundings. The use of design guidelines is not intended to change the zoning designations of land where projects are proposed; it is intended to demonstrate methods of treating the appearance of new projects to help them fit their neighborhoods and to provide the Code flexibility necessary to accomplish that. Where the surrounding neighborhood exhibits a lower development intensity than is current zoning allow, the lower-intensity character should not force a proponent to significantly reduce the allowable size of the new building. 3. Many of the guidelines suggest using the existing context to determine appropriate solutions for the project under consideration. In some areas, the existing context is not well defined, or may be undesirable. In such cases, the new project should be recognized as a pioneer with the opportunity to establish a pattern or identity from which future development can take its cues. In light of number 2 above, the site’s zoning should be considered an indicator of the desired direction for the area and the project. 4. Each guideline includes examples and illustrations of ways in which that guidelines can be achieved. The examples are just that – examples. They are not the only acceptable solution. Designers and reviewers should consider designs, styles and techniques not described in the examples but that fulfill the guideline. 5. The checklist which follows the guidelines (Checklist) is a tool for determining whether or not a particular guideline applies to a site, so that the guidelines may be more easily prioritized. The checklist is neither a regulatory device, nor a substitute for evaluating a sites conditions, or to summarize the language of examples found in the guidelines themselves. Packet Page 136 of 195 Page 2 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 Considering the Site Edmond’s Land Use Code sets specific, prescriptive rules that are applied uniformly for each land use zone throughout the city. There is little room in the Code’s development standards to account for unique site conditions or neighborhood contexts. A project architect can read the Code requirements and theoretically design a building without ever visiting the site. However, to produce good compatible design, it is critical that the project’s design team examine the site and its surrounding, identify the key design features and determine how the proposed project can address the guidelines’ objectives. Because they rely on the project’s context to help shape the project, the guidelines encourage an active viewing of the site and its surroundings. For a proposal located on a street with a consistent and distinctive architectural character, the architectural elements of the building may be key to helping the building fit the neighborhood. On other sites with few attractive neighboring buildings, the placement of open space and treatment of pedestrian areas may be the most important concerns. The applicant and the project reviewers should consider the following questions and similar ones related to context when looking at the site: What are the key aspects of the streetscape? (The street’s layout and visual character) Are there opportunities to encourage human activity and neighborhood interaction, while promoting residents’ privacy and physical security? How can vehicle access have the least effect on the pedestrian environment and on the visual quality of the site? Are there any special site planning opportunities resulting from the site’s configuration, natural features, topography etc.? What are the most important contextual concerns for pedestrians? How could the sidewalk environment be improved? Does the street have characteristic landscape features, plant materials, that could be incorporated into the design? Are there any special landscaping opportunities such as steep topography, significant trees, greenbelt, natural area, park or boulevard that should be addressed in the design? Do neighboring buildings have distinctive architectural style, site configuration, architectural concept? Packet Page 137 of 195 Page 3 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 Design Guidelines Checklist This checklist is intended as a summary of the issues addressed by the guidelines. It is not meant to be a regulatory device or a substitute for the language and examples found in the guidelines themselves. Rather, it is a tool for assisting the determination about which guidelines are the most applicable on a particular site. A. Site Planning N/A Lower Priority Higher Priority 1. Reinforce existing site characteristics 2. Reinforce existing streetscape characteristics 3. Entry clearly identifiable from the street 4. Encourage human activity on street 5.

Consider personal safety E. Landscaping N/A Lower Priority Higher Priority 1. Reinforce existing landscape character of neighborhood 2. Landscape to enhance the building or site 3. Landscape to take advantage of special site conditions Packet Page 139 of 195 Page 5 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 A-1: Responding to Site Characteristics The siting of buildings should respond to specific site conditions and opportunities such as non-rectangular lots, location on prominent intersections, unusual topography, significant vegetation and other natural features. Explanations and Examples Site characteristics to consider in project design include: 1) Topography • Reflect, rather than obscure, natural topography. For instance, buildings should be designed to "step up" hillsides to accommodate significant changes in elevation. • Where neighboring buildings have responded to similar topographic conditions in their sites in a consistent and positive way, consider similar treatment for the new structure. • Designing the building in relation to topography may help to reduce the visibility of parking garages. 2) Environmental constraints • Site buildings to avoid or lessen the impact of development on environmentally critical areas such as steep slopes, wetlands and stream corridors. 3) Solar orientation • The design of a structure and its massing on the site can enhance solar exposure for the project and minimize shadow impacts on adjacent structures and public areas. 4) Existing vegetation • Careful siting of buildings can enable significant or important trees or other vegetation to be preserved. 5) Existing structures on the site • Where a new structure shares a site with an existing structure or is a major addition to an existing structure, designing the new structure to be compatible with the original structure will help it fit in. A-2: Streetscape Compatibility The siting of buildings should acknowledge and reinforce the existing desirable spatial characteristics of the right-of-way. Explanation and Examples The character of a neighborhood is often defined by the experience of traveling along its streets. We often perceive streets within neighborhoods as individual spaces or "rooms." How buildings face and are set back from the street determine the character and proportion of this room. Packet Page 140 of 195 Page 6 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 A-3: Entrances Visible from the Street Entries should be clearly identifiable and visible from the street. Explanation and Examples Entries that are visible from the street make a project more approachable and create a sense of association among neighbors. A-4: Human Activity New development should be sited and designed to encourage human activity on the street. Explanation and Examples Livelier street edges make for safer streets. Ground floor shops and market spaces providing services needed by residents can attract market activity to the street and increase safety through informal surveillance. Entrances, porches, awnings, balconies, decks, seating and other elements can promote use of the street front and provide places for neighborly interaction. Siting decisions should consider the importance of these features in a particular context and allow for their incorporation. Also, architectural elements and details can add to the interest and excitement of buildings and spaces. Elements from the following list should be incorporated into all projects. Projects in pedestrian oriented areas of the City should include an even greater number of these details due to the scale of the buildings and the proximity of the people that will experience them. Lighting or hanging baskets supported by ornamental brackets Belt courses Plinths for columns Kickplate for storefront window Projecting sills Tilework Transom or clerestory windows Planter box Variations in applied ornament, materials, colors or trim. An element not listed here, as approved, that meets the intent. Packet Page 141 of 195 Page 7 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 In pedestrian oriented areas, ground floor commercial space is encouraged to be at grade with the sidewalk. If the entrance can not be located at the grade of the sidewalk, special care must be taken to ensure that there is both a visual and physical connection between the pedestrian way and the entrance that enhances the pedestrian orientation of the building. The ground level façades of buildings that are oriented to street fronts in the CW, BC, BN, and BP zones shall have transparent windows to engage the public. To qualify as transparent, windows shall not be mirrored or darkly tinted glass, or prohibit visibility between the street and interior. Where transparency is not provided, the façade shall comply with the guidelines under section D2, ‘Blank Walls,’ on page 17. In the Downtown Commercial Core The ground level façades of buildings that are oriented to streets should have a substantial amount of transparent windows, especially in the retail core. A primary function of the pedestrian oriented retail core is to allow for the visual interaction between the walking public and the goods and services businesses located on the first floor are providing. To qualify as transparent, windows shall not be mirrored or darkly tinted glass, or prohibit visibility between the street and interior. Where transparency is not provided, the façade shall comply with the guidelines under section D2, ‘Blank Walls,’ on page 17. Buildings that are entirely residential do not have a specific transparency requirement. However, all- residential buildings shall be treated as if they have blank walls facing the street and must comply with the guidelines under the section ‘Treating Blank Walls’. That portion of Ground level spaces that opens up to the sidewalk through means of sliding or roll up doors shall be considered to comply with any transparency requirements regardless of the amount of glass in the opening. Awnings are encouraged along pedestrian street fronts. They may be structural (permanently attached to and part of the building) or non-structural (attached to the building using a metal or other framework). To enhance the visibility of business signage retractable awnings are encouraged and should be open-sided. Front valances are permitted and signage is allowed on valances, but not on valance returns. Marquee, box, or convex awning shapes are not permitted. Awnings should be located within the building elements that frame storefronts, and should not conceal important architectural details. Awnings should also be hung just below a clerestory or “transom” window, if it Packet Page 142 of 195 Page 8 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 exists. Awnings on a multiple-storefront building should be consistent in character, scale and position, but need not be identical. Non-structural awnings should be constructed using canvas or fire-resistant acrylic materials. Shiny, high-gloss materials are not appropriate; therefore, vinyl or plastic awning materials are not permitted. Structural Awnings should be designed to incorporate natural light. Artificial lighting should only be used at night. Signage should be designed to integrate with the building and street front. Combinations of sign types are encouraged which result in a coordinated design while minimizing the size of individual signs. Blade or projecting signs which include decorative frames, brackets or other design elements are encouraged. This type of detail is consistent with the design elements mentioned above that enhance the interest of the area. Use graphics or symbols to reduce the need to have large expanses of lettering. Signage in the “Arts Center Corridor” defined in the Comprehensive Plan is required to include decorative sign frames or brackets in its design. Instead of broadly lighting the face of the sign, signage should be indirectly lit, or backlit to only display lettering and symbols or graphic design. Signage should be given special consideration when it is consistent with or contributes to the historic character of sites on the National Register or the Edmonds Register of Historic Places A-5: Respect for Adjacent Sites Buildings should respect adjacent properties by being located on their sites to minimize disruption of the privacy and outdoor activities of residents in adjacent buildings. Explanation and Examples One consideration is the views from upper stories of new buildings into adjacent houses or yards, especially in less intensive zones. This problem can be addressed in several ways. Reduce the number of windows and decks on the proposed building overlooking the neighbors. Step back the upper floors or increase the side or rear setback so that window areas are farther from the property line. Take advantage of site design which might reduce impacts, for example by using adjacent ground floor area for an entry court. Minimize windows to living spaces which might infringe on the privacy of adjacent residents, but consider comfort of residents in the new building. Stagger windows to not align with adjacent windows. Packet Page 143 of 195 Page 9 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 A-6: Transition Between Residence and Street For residential projects, the space between the building and the sidewalk should provide security and privacy for residents and encourage social interaction among residents and neighbors. Explanation and Examples The transition between a residential building and the street varies with the depth of the front setback and the relative elevation of the building to the street. A-7: Residential Open Space Residential projects should be sited to maximize opportunities for creating usable, attractive, well-integrated open space. Examples and Explanations Residential buildings are encouraged to consider these site planning elements: Courtyards which organize architectural elements, while providing a common garden or other uses. Entry enhancement such as landscaping along a common pathway. A-8: Parking and Vehicle Access Siting should minimize the impact of automobile parking and driveways on the pedestrian environment, adjacent properties and pedestrian safety. Explanation and Examples Techniques used to minimize the impacts of driveways and parking lots include: Locate surface parking at rear or side lots. Break large parking lots into smaller ones. Minimize number and width of driveways and curb cuts. Share driveways with adjacent property owners. Locate parking in lower level or less visible portions of site. Locate driveways so they are visually less dominant. Access should be provided in the following order of priority: i) If there is an alley, vehicular access should use the alley. Where feasible, the exit route should use the alley. Packet Page 144 of 195 Page 10 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 ii) For corner parcels, access should be off the secondary street rather than the primary street. iii) Share the driveway with an adjacent property. This can be a driveway with two-way traffic. iv) A driveway serving a single project is the least preferred option. Drive-through facilities such as, but not limited to, banks, cleaners, fast food, drug stores, espresso stands, etc., should comply with the following: i) Drive-through windows and stacking lanes shall not be located along the facades of the building that face a street. ii) Drive-through speakers shall not be audible off-site. iii) The entrance and exit from the drive-through shall be internal to the site, not a separate entrance and/or exit to or from the street. A-9: Location of Parking on Commercial Street Fronts Parking on a commercial street front should be minimized and where possible should be located behind a building. Explanation and Examples Parking located along a commercial street front where pedestrian traffic is desirable lessens the attractiveness of the area to pedestrians and compromises the safety of pedestrians along the street. A-10: Corner Lots Building on corner lots should be oriented to the corner and public street fronts. Parking and automobile access should be located away from corners. Explanation and Examples Corner lots offer unique opportunities because of their visibility and access from two streets. Packet Page 145 of 195 Page 11 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 B-1: Bulk, and Scale Compatibility Projects should be compatible with the scale of development anticipated by the applicable Land Use Policies for the surrounding area and should be sited and designed to provide a sensitive transition to near-by, less intensive zones. Projects on zone edges should be developed in a manner that creates a step in perceived bulk, and scale between anticipated development potential of the adjacent zones. Explanation and Examples For projects undergoing Design Review, the analysis and mitigation of bulk and scale impacts will be accomplished through the Design Review process. Careful siting and design treatment based on the technique described in this and other design guidelines will help to mitigate some bulk and scale impacts; in other cases, actual reduction in the bulk and scale of a project may be necessary to adequately mitigate impacts. Design Review should not result in significant reductions in a project's actual bulk and scale. Bulk and scale mitigation may be required in two general circumstances: 1. Projects on or near the edge of a less intensive zone. A substantial incompatibility in scale may result from different development standards in the two zones and may be compounded by physical factors such a s large development sites, slopes or lot orientation. 2. Projects proposed on sites with unusual physical characteristics such as large lot size, or unusual shape, or topography where buildings may appear substantially greater in bulk and scale than that generally anticipated for the area. Factors to consider in analyzing potential bulk and scale impacts include: distance from the edge of a less intensive zone differences in development standards between abutting zones (allowable building width, lot coverage, etc.) effect of site size and shape bulk and scale relationships resulting from lot orientation (e.g. back lot line to back lot line vs. back lot line to side lot line) type and amount of separation between lots in the different zones (e.g. separation by only a property line, by an alley or street, or by other physical features such as grade changes). In some cases, careful siting and design treatment may be sufficient to achieve reasonable transition and mitigation of bulk and scale impacts. Some techniques for Packet Page 146 of 195 Page 12 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 achieving compatibility are as follows: use of architectural style, details (such as roof lines or fenestration), color or materials that derive from the less intensive zone. (See also Guideline C-1: Architectural Context.) creative use of landscaping or other screening location of features on-site to facilitate transition, such as locating required open space on the zone edge so the building us farther from the lower intensity zone. treating topographic conditions in ways that minimize impacts on neighboring development, such as by using a rockery rather than a retaining wall to give a more human scale to a project, or stepping a project down a hillside. in a mixed-use project, siting the more compatible use near the zone edge. In some cases, reductions in the actual bulk and scale of the proposed structure may be necessary in order to mitigate adverse impacts and achieve an acceptable level of compatibility. Some techniques which can be used in these cases include: articulating the building's facades vertically or horizontally in intervals that conform to existing structures or platting pattern. increasing building setbacks from the zone edge at ground level reducing the bulk of the building's upper floors limiting the length of, or otherwise modifying, facades reducing the height of the structure reducing the number or size of accessory structures. C-1: Architectural Context New buildings proposed for existing neighborhoods with a well-defined and desirable character should be compatible with or complement the architectural character and siting pattern of neighboring buildings. Explanation and Examples Paying attention to architectural characteristics of surrounding buildings, especially historic buildings, can help new buildings be more compatible with their neighbors, especially if a consistent pattern is already established by similar: building articulation building scale and proportion or complementary architectural style or complementary roof forms building details and fenestration patterns or complementary materials Even where there is no consistent architectural pattern, building design and massing can be used to complement certain physical conditions of existing development. In some cases, the existing context is not so well-defined, or may be undesirable. In such cases, a new project can become a pioneer with the opportunity to establish a pattern or identity from which future development can take its cues. In most cases, especially in the downtown commercial area, Buildings shall convey a visually distinct ‘base’ and ‘top’. A ‘base’ can be emphasized by a different masonry Packet Page 147 of 195 Page 13 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 pattern, more architectural detail, visible ‘plinth’ above which the wall rises, storefront, canopies, or a combination. The top edge is highlighted by a prominent cornice, projecting parapet or other architectural element that creates a shadow line. Architectural Features Below are several methods that can help integrate new buildings into the surrounding architectural context, using compatible: architectural features fenestration patterns, and building proportions. Building Articulation Below are several methods in which buildings may be articulated to create intervals which reflect and promote compatibility with their surroundings: modulating the facade by stepping back or extending forward a portion of the facade repeating the window patterns at an interval that equals the articulation interval providing a porch, patio, deck or covered entry for each interval providing a balcony or bay window for each interval changing the roofline by alternating dormers, stepped roofs, gables or other roof elements to reinforce the modulation or articulation interval changing the materials with a change in the building plane providing a lighting fixture, trellis, tree or other landscape feature with each interval C-2: Architectural Concept and Consistency Building design elements, details and massing should create a well-proportioned and unified building form and exhibit an overall architectural concept. Buildings should exhibit form and features identifying the functions within the building. In general, the roofline or top of the structure should be clearly distinguished from its facade walls. Explanation and Examples This guideline focuses on the important design consideration of organizing the many architectural elements of a building into a unified whole, so that details and features can be seen to relate to the structure and not appear as add-ons. The other objective of this guideline is to promote buildings whose form is derived from its function. Buildings which present few or no clues through their design as to what purpose they serve are often awkward architectural neighbors. For example, use of expansive blank walls, extensive use of metal or glass siding, or extremely large or small windows in a residential project may create architectural confusion or disharmony with its neighbors. Conversely, commercial buildings which overly mimic residential styles might be considered inappropriate in some commercial neighborhoods. Packet Page 148 of 195 Page 14 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 Often times, from an architectural design perspective buildings will convey a visually distinct ‘base’ and ‘top’. A ‘base’ can be emphasized by a different masonry pattern, more architectural detail, visible ‘plinth’ above which the wall rises, storefront, canopies, or a combination. The top edge is highlighted by a prominent cornice, projecting parapet or other architectural element that creates a shadow line. Other architectural features included in the design of a building may include any number of the following: building modulation or articulation bay windows corner accent, such as a turret garden or courtyard elements (such as a fountain or gazebo) rooflines building entries building base Architectural details may include some of the following: treatment of masonry (such as ceramic tile inlay, paving stones, or alternating brick patterns) treatment of siding (such as wood siding combined with shingles to differentiate floors) articulation of columns sculpture or art work architectural lighting detailed grilles and railings special trim details and moldings a trellis or arbor Packet Page 149 of 195 Page 15 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 C-3: Human Scale The design of new buildings should incorporate architectural features, elements and details to achieve a good human scale. Explanation and Examples The term "human scale" generally refers to the use of human-proportioned architectural features and site design elements clearly oriented to human activity. A building has a good human scale if its details, elements and materials allow people to feel comfortable using and approaching it. Features that give a building human scale also encourage human activity. The following are some of the building elements that may be used to achieve better human scale: pedestrian-oriented open space such as a courtyard, garden, patio, or other unified landscaped areas bay windows extending out from the building face that reflect an internal space such as a room or alcove individual windows in upper stories that o are approximately the size and proportion of a traditional window o include a trim or molding that appears substantial from the sidewalk o are separated from adjacent windows by a vertical element windows grouped together to form larger areas of glazing can have a human scale if individual window units are separated by moldings or jambs windows with small multiple panes of glass window patterns, building articulation and other treatments that help to identify individual residential units in a multi-family building upper story setbacks a porch or covered entry pedestrian weather protection in the form of canopies, awnings, arcades or other elements wide enough to protect at least one person visible chimneys C-4: Exterior Finish Materials Building exteriors should be constructed of durable and maintainable materials that are attractive even when viewed up close. Materials that have texture, pattern, or lend themselves to a high quality of detailing are encouraged. Explanation and Examples The selection and use of exterior materials is a key ingredient in determining how a building will look. Some materials, by their nature, can give a sense of permanence or can provide texture or scale that helps new buildings fit better in their surroundings. Materials typical to the northwest include: Packet Page 150 of 195 Page 16 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 clear or painted wood siding shingles brick stone ceramic and terra-cotta tile Many other exterior building materials may be appropriate in multifamily and commercial neighborhoods as long as the materials are appropriately detailed and finished, for instance, to take account of the northwest’s climate or be compatible with nearby structures. Some materials, such as mirrored glass, may be more difficult to integrate into residential or neighborhood commercial settings. D-1: Pedestrian Open Spaces and Entrance Convenient and attractive access to the building's entry should be provided. To ensure comfort and security, paths and entry areas should be sufficiently lighted and entry areas should be protected from the weather. Opportunities for creating lively, pedestrian-oriented open space should be considered. Explanation and Examples If a building is set back from the sidewalk, the space between the building and public right-of-way may be conducive to pedestrian or resident activity. In business districts where pedestrian activity is desired, the primary function of any open space between commercial buildings and the sidewalk is to provide visual and physical access into the building and perhaps also to provide a space for additional outdoor activities such as vending, resting, sitting or dining. Street fronts can also feature art work, street furniture and landscaping that invite customers or enhance the building's setting. Where a commercial or mixed-use building is set back from the sidewalk a sufficient distance, pedestrian enhancements should be considered in the resulting street front. Examples of desirable features to include: visual and pedestrian access (including barrier-free access) into the site from the public sidewalk walking surfaces of attractive pavers pedestrian-scaled site lighting areas for vendors in commercial areas landscaping that screens undesirable elements or that enhances the space and architecture signage which identifies uses and shops clearly but which is scaled to the pedestrian site furniture, artwork or amenities such as fountains, benches, pergolas, kiosks, etc. Examples of features to avoid are: asphalt or gravel pavement adjacent unscreened parking lots adjacent chain-link fences adjacent blank walls without appropriate screening Packet Page 151 of 195 Page 17 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 The following treatment of entrances can provide emphasis and interest: special detailing or architectural features such as ornamental glazing, railings and balustrades, awnings, canopies, decorative pavement, decorative lighting, seats, architectural molding, planter boxes, trellises, artwork signs, or other elements near the doorway. visible signage identifying building address Higher bay(s) Recessed entry (recessed at least 3 feet) Forecourt D-2: Blank Walls Buildings should avoid large blank walls facing the street, especially near sidewalks. Where blank walls are unavoidable they should receive design treatment to increase pedestrian comfort and interest. Explanation and Examples A wall may be considered "large" if it has a blank surface substantially greater in size than similar walls of neighboring buildings. The following examples are possible methods for treating blank walls: installing vertical trellis in front of the wall with climbing vines or plants materials setting the wall back and providing a landscaped or raised planter bed in front of the wall, including plant materials that could grow to obscure or screen the wall's surface providing art (mosaic, mural, decorative masonry pattern, sculpture, relief, etc.) over a substantial portion of the blank wall surface employing small setbacks, indentations, or other means of breaking up the wall's surface providing special lighting, a canopy, horizontal trellis or other pedestrian-oriented features that break up the size of the blank wall's surface and add visual interest An architectural element not listed above, as approved, that meets the intent D-3: Retaining Walls Retaining walls near a public sidewalk that extend higher than eye level should be avoided where possible. Where higher retaining walls are unavoidable, they should be designed to reduce their impact on pedestrian comfort and to increase the visual interest along the streetscapes. Packet Page 152 of 195 Page 18 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 Explanation and Examples The following are examples of methods to treat retaining walls: any of the techniques or features listed under blank walls above terracing and landscaping the retaining walls substituting a stone wall, rockery, modular masonry, or special material locating hanging plant materials below or above the wall D-4: Design of Parking Lots Near Sidewalks Parking lots near sidewalks should provide adequate security and lighting, avoid encroachment of vehicles onto the sidewalk, and minimize the visual clutter of parking lot signs and equipment. Explanation and Examples The following examples illustrate some considerations to address in highly visible parking lots: Treatment of parking area perimeter the edges of parking lots pavement adjacent to landscaped areas and other pavement can be unsightly and difficult to maintain. Providing a curb at the perimeter of parking areas can alleviate these problems. Security lighting provide the appropriate levels of lighting to create adequate visibility at night. Evenly distributed lighting increases security, and glare-free lighting reduces impacts on nearby property. Encroachment of cars onto the sidewalk without wheel stops or a low wall, parked cars can hang over sidewalks. One technique to protect landscaped and pedestrian areas from encroachment by parked cars is to provide a wide wheel stop about two feet from the sidewalk. Another technique is to widen a sidewalk or planting bed basically “building in” a wheel stop into the sidewalk or planting bed. This is more durable than wheel stops, does not catch debris and reduces tripping hazards. Signs and equipment reduce sign clutter by painting markings on the pavement or by consolidating signs. Provide storage that is out of view from the sidewalk and adjacent properties for moveable or temporary equipment like sawhorses or barrels. Screening of parking screening of parking areas need not be uniform along the property frontage. Variety in the type and relative amount of screening may be appropriate. screen walls constructed of durable, attractive materials need not extend above waist level. Screen walls across a street or adjacent to a residential zone could also include landscaping or a trellis or grillwork with climbing vines. screening can be designed to provide clear visibility into parking areas to promote personal safety. Packet Page 153 of 195 Page 19 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 D-5: Visual Impacts of Parking Structures The visibility of all at-grade parking structures or accessory parking garages should be minimized. The parking portion of a structure should be architecturally compatible with the rest of the structure and streetscape. Open parking spaces and carports should be screened from the street and adjacent properties. Explanation and Examples The following examples illustrate various methods of improving the appearance of at- grade parking structures: incorporating pedestrian-oriented uses at street level can reduce the visual impact of parking structures in commercial areas. Sometimes a depth of only 10 feet along the front of the building is enough to provide space for newsstands, ticket booths, flower shops and other viable uses. setting the parking structure back from the sidewalk and installing dense landscaping incorporating any of the blank wall treatments listed in Guideline D-2 visually integrating the parking structure with adjacent buildings continuing a frieze, cornice, canopy, overhang, trellis or other devices at the top of the parking level incorporating into the parking structure a well-lit pedestrian walkway, stairway or ramp from the sidewalk to the upper level of the building setting back a portion of the parking structure to allow for the retention of an existing significant tree using a portion of the top of the larking level as an outdoor deck, patio or garden with a rail, bench or other guard device around the perimeter D-6: Screening of Dumpsters, Utilities, and Service Areas Building sites should locate service elements like trash dumpsters, loading docks and mechanical equipment away from the street front where possible. When elements such as dumpsters, utility meters, mechanical units and service areas cannot be located away from the street front, they should be situated and screened from view and should not be located in the pedestrian right-of-way. Explanation and Examples Unsightly service elements can detract from the compatibility of new projects and create hazards for pedestrians and autos. The following examples illustrate considerations to address in locating and screening service areas and utilities: plan the feature in a less visible location on the site screen it to be less visible. For example, a utility meter can be located behind a screen wall so that it is not visible from the building entrance. use durable materials that complement the building incorporate landscaping to make the screen more effective locate the opening to the area away from the sidewalk. incorporate roof wells, utility rooms or other features to accommodate utility and mechanical equipment needs. Packet Page 154 of 195 Page 20 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 D-7: Personal Safety and Security Project design should consider opportunities for enhancing personal safety and security in the environment under review. Explanation and Examples Project design should be reviewed for its contribution to enhancing the real and perceived feeling of personal safety and security within the environment under review. To do this, the question needs to be answered: do the design elements detract from or do they reinforce feelings of security of the residents, workers, shoppers and visitors who enter the area? Techniques that can help promote safety include the following: providing adequate lighting retaining clear lines of site use of semi-transparent security screening, rather than opaque walls, where appropriate avoiding blank, windowless walls that attract graffiti and that do not permit residents or workers to observe the street use of landscaping that maintains visibility, such as short shrubs and pruning trees, so there are no branches below head height creative use of ornamental grille as fencing or over ground floor windows in some locations absence of structures that provide hiding places for criminal activity design of parking areas to allow natural surveillance by maintaining clear lines of sight both for those who park there and for occupants of nearby buildings clear directional signage encouraging "eyes on the street" through placement of windows, balconies and street-level uses ensuring natural surveillance of children's play areas. E-1: Landscaping to Reinforce Design Continuity with Adjacent Sites Where possible, and where there is not another overriding concern, landscaping should reinforce the character of neighboring properties and abutting streetscape. Explanation and Examples Several ways to reinforce the landscape design character of the local neighborhood are listed below: Street Trees If a street has a uniform planting of street trees, or a distinctive species, plant street trees that match the planting pattern or species. Similar Plant Materials When many lots on a block feature similar landscape materials, emphasis on these materials will help a new project fit into the local context. Packet Page 155 of 195 Page 21 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 Similar construction materials, textures, colors or elements Extending a low brick wall, using paving similar to a neighbor's or employing similar stairway construction are ways to achieve design continuity. E-2: Landscaping to Enhance the Building and/or Site Landscaping, including living plant material, special pavements, approach, screen walls, planters, site furniture and similar features should be appropriately incorporated into the design to enhance the project. Examples Landscape enhancements of the site may include some of the approaches or features listed below: Soften the form of the building by screening blank walls, terracing retaining walls, etc. Increase privacy and security through screening and/or sharing. Provide a framework such as a trellis or arbor for plants to grow on. Incorporate a planter guard or low planter wall as part of the architecture. Distinctively landscape open areas created by building modulation. Incorporate upper story planter boxes or roof planters. Include a special feature such as a courtyard, fountain or pool. Emphasize entries with special planting in conjunction with decorative paving and/or lighting. Screen a building from view by its neighbors, or an existing use from the new building. E-3: Landscape Design to Address Special Site Conditions The landscape design should take advantage of special on- site conditions such as high-bank front yards, steep slopes, view corridors, or existing significant trees and off-site conditions such as greenbelts, ravines, natural areas, and boulevards. Explanation and Examples The following conditions may merit special attention. The examples suggest some ways to address the issue. High Bank Front Yard Where the building's ground floor is elevated above a sidewalk pedestrian's eye level, landscaping can help make the transition between grades. Several techniques are listed below. rockeries with floral displays, live ground cover or shrubs. terraces with floral displays, ground covers or shrubs. low retaining walls with raised planting strips. stone or brick masonry walls with vines or shrubs. Barrier-free Access Where wheelchair ramps must be provided on a street front, the ramp structure might include a planting strip on the sidewalk side of the elevated portions of the ramp. Packet Page 156 of 195 Page 22 of 22 Revised by ADB 3/1/06 Steep Topography Special plantings or erosion control measures may be necessary to prevent site destabilization or to enhance the visual qualities of the site in connection with a neighborhood improvement program. Boulevards Incorporate landscaping which reflects and reinforces . Greenbelt or Other Natural Setting Minimize the removal of significant trees. Replace trees that were removed with new trees. Emphasize naturalizing or native landscape materials. Retain natural greenbelt vegetation that contributes to greenbelt preservation. Select colors that are more appropriate to the natural setting. On-site Vegetation Retain significant vegetation where possible. Use new plantings similar to vegetation removed during construction, when that vegetation as distinctive.

Issaquah court decision. Edmonds’ Ordinance is identical to Issaquah’s, and has the same problems. 1993-1999 Initial set of Design Guidelines adopted to “fill the gap” created by Anderson v. Issaquah. Goal is to gradually expand detail, and vary guidelines by zone/area of the City 1999 Consultant, Cedar River Associates, completes study of Edmonds’ design review process. Consultant recommends change in process, moving design review to the beginning of the process. Emphasizes need for better design guidelines. 2000 Consultant, Cascade Design, drafts design guidelines and process amendments. Accepted by the City Council in November, 2000, for formal city review. 2001-2002 After holding a total of six public hearings, Planning Board recommends design guidelines and implementing code amendments to Council in July, 2002. City Council holds work session and public hearing in Sept-October 2002, and “tables” the guidelines on October 1, 2002. Guidelines are referred to CS/DS Committee on October 29, 2002. 2003 After a recommendation from the CS/DS Committee and a public hearing, City Council adopts updated design standards for signs in July, 2003. 2005 Following adoption of the city’s updated comprehensive plan in March, 2005, Council holds discussions in April and May with urban design consultant Mark Hinshaw refining design guidelines for downtown buildings. Council holds joint meeting with ADB on August 23, 2005, and forwards guidelines (including Hinshaw revisions) to ADB for review and recommendation. 2006 ADB reports to Council on March 7, 2006, with its recommendations on design guidelines. Council sets hearing date for March 21, 2006. On June 6, 2006, Council refers proposal for “up front” design review and design guidelines to Planning Board for review. Packet Page 159 of 195 At the direction of the City Council, a consultant, Cedar River Associates, completed a study in 1999 of the city’s design review process. Among the study’s conclusions was a strong recommendation to adopt updated design guidelines that provided more specific guidance than the inadequate guidelines contained in current city codes. As a result of the Cedar River study, a professional architectural firm (Cascade Design Collaborative) was hired to draft a set of design guidelines. Cascade Design had experience in both public and private development in multiple jurisdictions. The initial set of draft guidelines developed by Cascade Design was accepted by the Council in November 2000 for formal review by the Planning Board. During the Planning Board’s review, the Board held 3 joint meetings and work sessions with the ADB, held 6 public hearings, and included thorough involvement by the development community through its stakeholders group. Draft design guidelines for the city were recommended by the Planning Board at the end of 2001, after holding work sessions and public hearings during the previous year. Following their work on the design guidelines, the Planning Board also developed a set of code amendments intended to implement the guidelines and streamline the design review process. This work was completed during the first half of 2002. In October, 2002, after holding its own work session and public hearing, the City Council initially “tabled” the guidelines and code amendments, and ultimately referred the draft guidelines to the Council’s Community Services/Development Services Committee for further action. During 2003, portions of the code amendments and guidelines related to signs were considered, resulting in changes to the city’s sign code to provide additional guidance and improve the design review process for signage. The City Council formally “untabled” the design guidelines during a joint meeting with the ADB in March, 2004. Additional discussions by Council have occurred since that time, with the most recent discussions indicating an interest in considering the design guidelines further after the Council completed its update of the Comprehensive Plan. In its efforts to implement the comprehensive plan and sort out issues regarding building design and building heights, the City Council has identified adopting a set of design guidelines as a high priority. As noted above, the Planning Board forwarded a draft set of design guidelines at the end of 2001. Design objectives from these original draft guidelines were included as policy statements in the comprehensive plan update adopted earlier this year, with some changes made to more clearly differentiate how downtown design differed from other parts of the city (specifically, a set of objectives were adopted for downtown in the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center section of the document, and a second set of objectives pertaining to other parts of the city were adopted as part of the Community Culture and Urban Design element of the plan). More recent discussions occurred in April and May 2005 with a consultant, Mark Hinshaw of LMN Architects, and resulted in some recommended changes to the draft design guidelines. Mr. Hinshaw suggested that some of the draft guidelines were more appropriately considered code amendments, and that design guidelines should be less lengthy and more focused on critical aspects of design. Mr. Hinshaw also produced some recommended guidelines for downtown buildings. The Council responded favorably to these suggestions, and asked staff to attempt to integrate Mr. Hinshaw’s recommendations into the current draft of the city’s design guidelines. On August 23, 2005, City Council held joint discussion with members of the ADB on the revised set of design guidelines. The conclusion from this meeting was for the ADB to review the draft design guidelines and provide their recommendations back to the Council. The ADB reported to Council on March 7, 2006, with the ADB recommending a substantially revised set of guidelines. This prompted a discussion on the relationship of design guidelines to the design review process, and the role of the ADB in design review. After a public hearing on March 21, 2006, on June 6, 2006, the City Council referred consideration of an “up front” design review process together with the ADB-drafted design guidelines to the Planning Board for review and recommendation. Packet Page 160 of 195 APPROVED Planning Board Minutes January 24, 2007 Page 8 The Board discussed that age is not the only criteria used to identify structures of historic significance. Mr. Snyder explained that in order to encourage the preservation of truly historic structures, the City must offer incentives to owners who place their properties on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. Rather than just addressing the preservation of historic structures, most of the staff’s comments have been about the reuse of structures in a way that preserves the existing fabric of the community, such as the size of homes, the scale, and the way neighborhoods are put together. He advised that the 1980 code changed a variety of zoning and setback standards by using a cookie-cutter approach. It was assumed that through abatement and very strict non-conforming provisions, things would be get homogenized to look like the conceptual plan. However, because the City is fully built out, the philosophy must be different. They must now consider opportunities for preserving the look, texture and feel of the City as opposed to achieving specific setback requirements. Chair Guenther said they must also consider opportunities to replace existing uses within residential areas with other uses that are vital to the neighborhood. Mr. Snyder said he lives in the central district of Seattle, where many of the structures were previously used for commercial purposes. Now the commercial uses are coming back to the neighborhood. The Board took a break at 9:00 p.m. They reconvened at 9:05 p.m. REVIEW OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO AMEND ECDC CHAPTER 20.60 SIGN CODE (FILE NUMBER AMD-2007-2) Mr. McIntosh thanked Chair Guenther for participating on the selection committee for the 6-Year Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan. Four consulting firms were interviewed. He advised that staff would provide updates to the Board periodically as the project progresses. Mr. McIntosh explained that for several years the community has expressed interest in having a third location to publicize community events. He noted that the City used to have five locations, but now they have only two as a result of the new PUD restrictions. Staff has identified a suitable new site for installing poles for pole-mounted community event banners on the Public Works property on the north side of 212th Street. However, installation has been delayed because the current sign code does not address special situations where poles are located on City property. Mr. McIntosh referred the Board to Page 2 of the proposed ordinance. He advised that, as proposed, the first paragraph of Section 20.60.005 would be added to address community event banners. He explained that the City’s current policy for street banners is about 25 years old, so updates would likely be necessary to match the proposed amendment. Board Member Works questioned why “cloth, fabric and canvas” must all be used to describe the types of materials that could be utilized for the banners. Mr. McIntosh said the intent was to include all of the different types of materials that could be used. He agreed that cloth, fabric and canvas are synonymous. He noted that most of the current banners are plastic, with cloth for reinforcement. Mr. McIntosh noted that the proposed sign code amendment requires a public hearing before the Board and a recommendation to the City Council. He requested the Board conduct the public hearing on February 14th, and the Board agreed. CONTINUED DELIBERATIONS ON CODE UPDATES REQUIRED TO INTEGRATE GUIDELINES AND REVISED DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS INTO THE DEVELOPMENT CODE (FROM PUBLIC HEARING HELD ON DECEMBER 13, 2006) Mr. Chave referred the Board to the documentation that was attached to memorandums from staff dated January 10th and January 24th. He reminded the Board that when they previously held a public hearing and discussed this issue on December 13th, they agreed to have further discussion on the suggestions made by ADB Board Member Utt regarding monotonous buildings. They also agreed to consider applicant submission requirements that could be incorporated into the code. Packet Page 161 of 195 APPROVED Planning Board Minutes January 24, 2007 Page 9 Mr. Chave explained that when the City Council and Architectural Design Board (ADB) reviewed the Old Mill Town project proposal, they struggled with the issue of long and monotonous buildings. While the City’s current code states that long, massive, unbroken or monotonous buildings shall be avoided, the consensus was that the statement was not well defined. In addition, the statement likely means different things in different areas of the City. He suggested it would be appropriate for the Board to consider changes to address this issue as part of their review of amendments required to integrate the design guidelines into the Development Code. Mr. Chave advised that the green document outlines some of the language that had been in previous versions of the design guidelines that talked about long, massive, and monotonous buildings. Staff’s goal was to illustrate a few ways to address the issue in the design code. He referred to the proposed language in the middle of Page 2, which provides a list of ways to deal with monotonous buildings. The proposed language at the bottom of Page 2 talks about how the concept could be included in the standards for the downtown business zones. Chair Guenther noted that the proposed new language is similar to the language that was included in the Design Guidelines that were put together by the Board about five years ago. He said he likes the proposed language because it provides a menu of items to use to break up the monotony and provide punctuation. Board Member Works said the proposed language is not clear about whether all of the treatments on the list must be incorporated into a project. She expressed her concern that if a project were required to include all of the elements, a building could become too busy. Commissioner Freeman agreed. Mr. Chave indicated that an applicant would not be required to provide all of the elements on the proposed list. The Board agreed this should be made clearer. Board Member Freeman expressed her concern that the term “monotonous” has gotten the City into trouble in the past. She suggested that the term monotonous be deleted, since it has different meanings to different people. Board Member Freeman referred to Item a.v, which states that exterior walls longer than 50 feet must jog at least 2 feet. She suggested this would be too prescriptive. She asked what buildings currently in downtown Edmonds would be unable to conform to this proposed requirement. She noted that the building across from the post office would not be in compliance with the requirement, yet it is a very nice building. The façade of the new Edmonds Performing Arts Center also has a smooth curved façade that is longer than 60 feet. Would the proposed language require a jog in this façade? Chair Guenther pointed out that a jog is only one of the design elements available to an applicant to break up the monotony of a building. In fact, he suggested it would probably be one of the least used elements. Board Member Young expressed his belief that the language proposed by staff is well written, and it would be easy for the ADB to interpret. It does not state that all of the items must be included in the building design. He stated that monotonous is a fairly easy term for the ADB to enforce, using a variety of the items on the list. He summarized that the proposed language provides ideas for architects to work with, without being so prescriptive that creativity is stifled. Chair Guenther explained that, typically, the rear and sides of a building create the most problem in terms of monotony. Therefore, he suggested that choices for breaking up the building must be simple to apply. Vice Chair Dewhirst pointed out that application of each of the design elements on the list could result in something different for each project. How the design elements on the list are applied is more important than which design elements are utilized. Mr. Chave reminded the Board that the proposed language would only apply to areas that do not require the new upfront ADB process. He explained that the proposed language related to the downtown was provided for possible insertion into the downtown BD zones that were recently adopted by the City Council. In addition, the Historic Preservation Commission is working on some design standards for the downtown zones, and they will report back to the City Council on their progress. Potentially, that material could end up before the Planning Board as a modification or addition to the BD zones. Rather than adding language related to the BD zone at this time, the Board could forward a recommendation to the City Council to insert the language into the BD zones. The Board discussed the possibility of changing the language to make it clear that the list of design elements was provided as examples of elements that could be used to break up blank walls and not all of the design elements on the list must be utilized. The applicant would be able to choose those that are appropriate for their building design. At the suggestion of Packet Page 162 of 195 APPROVED Planning Board Minutes January 24, 2007 Page 10 Board Member Reed, the Board agreed to change Paragraph A to read, “In RM or Commercial zones, selections from among the following or similar features may be appropriate for dealing with this criterion.” The Board agreed to this change. Board Member Freeman referred to Item v, which would require a jog of at least 2 feet for exterior walls longer than 60 feet. She reminded the Board of Mark Hinshaw’s December article regarding design standards and guidelines, which states that if numbers are used at all, they should be expressed in ranges to allow for built-in flexibility. She suggested that Item v seems to run counter to what Mr. Hinshaw recommends. The Board agreed to drop Item v from the proposed language. The Board discussed Board Member Freeman’s earlier suggestion to delete the word “monotonous.” Chair Guenther said the purpose of the section is also to break up buildings so they are not one continuous tone. Therefore, he would like to maintain the word “monotonous.” The majority of the Board concurred. Mr. Chave referred the Board to the yellow document, which provides suggested applicant submission requirements to incorporate into the code language for the new upfront design review process, where a two-part hearing would be conducted. Part 1 of the hearing would be very conceptual in nature and would involve coming up with a checklist of criteria that would be important to the project. In Part 2 of the hearing the applicant would come back to the ADB with their alternatives, massing plans, etc. The designs would still be fairly conceptual, but more details would be required. Building plans would come later in the design review process. Vice Chair Dewhirst asked why the applicant submission requirements should be made part of the code. He expressed his concern about including this type of information as code language because changes would require a significant amount of work. Mr. Chave said the original draft did not include a list of the submission requirements. He said the current code structure makes reference to staff adopting, by rule, the specific application requirements, and the City Attorney has indicated it is important to provide a list of at least the minimum application standards. That way, if an applicant challenges the date when their application was completed, the City would be in a much stronger position to defend if they could point to the code and the things an applicant is required to submit. Vice Chair Dewhirst pointed out that there is nothing on the list that would require the applicant to submit information about height or environmentally sensitive areas. The list of required information should also include pedestrian access and connectivity to surrounding properties. Board Member Reed summarized that the list of application submittal requirements identifies the items necessary in order for the ADB to complete their review of the Design Guidelines Checklist found on pages 3 and 4 of the Draft Design Guidelines. Board Member Reed recalled ADB Board Member Utt’s suggestion that a list of application submission requirements should be created. He reminded the Board that they agreed to postpone forwarding a recommendation to the City Council to allow staff to propose a list of submission requirements for the Board to consider for inclusion in the draft code language. The Board discussed that, as proposed by staff, only a vicinity plan and a conceptual site plan would be required for the Part 1 Hearing. Submission of 3-dimensional sketches would be optional. They discussed that without requiring more information, it would be difficult for the ADB to determine which guidelines are most applicable, especially those related to architectural elements and materials, pedestrian environment, and landscaping. Mr. Chave noted that, at the time of a Part 1 Hearing, the applicant would not likely be at the stage of even having a sketch of the building design. Hopefully, they are considering multiple options for design and have not come up with a solution. Chair Guenther said that a conceptual site plan would at least identify the footprint, the location of parking and sidewalks, etc. If the intent is to allow an applicant to present multiple schemes, they would have to submit multiple conceptual site plans, as well. Mr. Chave pointed out that while an applicant would only be required to submit one vicinity plan, they would have to provide a conceptual plan for all concepts being considered. The Board agreed that a 3-dimensional sketch should also be required. They also agreed that the required vicinity plan should identify all environmentally sensitive features. Mr. Chave explained that it was difficult for the staff to identify what the minimal submittal requirements for the Part 2 Hearing should be. They tried to figure out the minimum information required without the applicant going to so much trouble that they become locked into a specific design. Mr. Chave said staff proposes that a conceptual utility plan be required to show access to areas reserved for water, sewer, storm, electrical power, and fire connections and/or hydrants. The goal is to get the applicants to start thinking about how they will deal with utilities without getting into the detailed Packet Page 163 of 195 APPROVED Planning Board Minutes January 24, 2007 Page 11 design. The danger is that as applicants get further into their plans, they might find that some of the initial utility ideas won’t work. He noted that how utilities are brought onto the site has a lot to do with how a site is designed and how buildings are oriented. Board Member Young suggested that requiring a conceptual utility plan might not be necessary. With the exception of recycling and garbage, the utilities would not be visible after construction has occurred. These issues should be adequately addressed by the project architect and submitted to the City for review, so there would be no need for the ADB to be involved. Mr. Chave pointed out that if an applicant does not think about how utilities would be brought onto the site, they could end up with a huge conflict that could significantly alter the design. Chair Guenther agreed that a conceptual utility plan would not really contribute to the ADB’s evaluation process but is something the architect should consider as part of the design process. Vice Chair Dewhirst suggested the goal is to make sure very basic issues have been considered and their implications on the design have been assessed to avoid significant site design changes later in the design process. Chair Guenther said that in an ideal project, one of the first things an architect would request from the property owner is a survey of the property. He would ask for the contours and the location of curbs, sidewalks, easements, utilities, etc. Instead of requiring a conceptual utility plan, the City could ask for a site survey to answer the basic questions. Board Member Bowman said that having recently remodeled a building in Edmonds, they overlooked a lot and experienced a lot of surprises. If they had been required to provide more detailed information at the beginning of the design review process, many of these items would have been caught. Mr. Chave said the Engineering Department expressed concern that if the City requires an applicant to go through the design review process, they should make sure they are at least thinking about utility issues, etc. Mr. Chave advised that the Engineering Department would be responsible for reviewing conceptual utility plans and providing feedback to the ADB. Board Member Reed pointed out that Item B.1 is the same document in even less detail than what is required in Item A.2. He suggested Item B.1 be changed to require whatever conceptual design was presented at the first hearing. This would eliminate the need for repetition. The remainder of the Board agreed to incorporate this change. Board Member Reed suggested that the title of Item B be changed to “Hearing Part 2 – Conceptual Site and Building Design Approval Conditions.” The remainder of the Board concurred. BOARD MEMBER YOUNG MOVED THAT THE CODE UPDATES REQUIRED TO INTEGRATE THE DESIGN GUIDELINES AND REVISED DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS IN THE DEVELOPMENT CODE BE FORWARDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL AS AMENDED, WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL. VICE CHAIR DEWHIRST SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. REVIEW OF EXTENDED AGENDA Mr. Chave requested an opportunity to meet with the Chair and/or Vice Chair to discuss the upcoming extended agenda. The only scheduled item is a public hearing on the proposed amendment to the sign code as discussed earlier in the meeting. They must schedule out the code amendments presented by Mr. Bowman and Mr. Snyder. They must also schedule out the Shoreline Master Plan Program work. PLANNING BOARD CHAIR COMMENTS Chair Guenther did not make any comments during this portion of the meeting. PLANNING BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS Board Member Young noted that the agenda for the January 10th meeting that was cancelled included information about the National Main Streets Conference in Seattle in March. He noted that the City does have some money to pay the registration Packet Page 164 of 195 Packet Page 165 of 195 Packet Page 166 of 195 Packet Page 167 of 195 Packet Page 168 of 195 Packet Page 169 of 195 Packet Page 170 of 195 Packet Page 171 of 195 Packet Page 172 of 195 Packet Page 173 of 195 Packet Page 174 of 195 Packet Page 175 of 195 Packet Page 176 of 195 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes February 6, 2007 Page 2 G.

H. TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE ANNUAL REPORT. ITEM E: CONFIRMATION OF SISTER CITY COMMISSION CANDIDATES CLARE LONG AND ELIJAH ZUPANCIC. Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh, liaison to the Sister City Commission, introduced Sister City Commission Chair Jeanne Mazzoni. Ms. Mazzoni introduced the two new Commissioners, Clare Long and Elijah Zupancic, and described their backgrounds. Ms. Mazzoni also introduced Sister City Commissioners Jim Corbin and Iyoko Okano in the audience. Mayor Haakenson thanked the Commissioners for volunteering. 3. PROCLAMATION IN HONOR OF THE GREATER EDMONDS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WEEK, FEBRUARY 4-10, 2007. Mayor Haakenson read a Proclamation declaring February 4 – 10, 2007 as Greater Edmonds Chamber of Commerce Week and presented the proclamation to Police Chief David Stern, Chamber President. Chief Stern recognized Chamber members Wayne Purser, Chris Fleck, Dave Arista, Strom Peterson and Ron Clyborne who were also present. He also introduced the Chamber’s Executive Director Jan Vance and staff member Carolyn LaFave who distributed centennial pins to the Council. Chief Stern explained the pin was commissioned for the 100th anniversary of the Chamber. The Chamber, originally the Board of Trade, began in 1904 and was officially recognized as a Chamber of Commerce on February 6, 1907. He provided highlights of the Chamber’s history, remarking from the beginning the Chamber had been a community-oriented organization. In 1907 the Chamber purchased several large parcels of waterfront acreage to induce industry to move to the City. Sales of that parcel and others were used to purchase a 10-acre site for use as a park, known today as City Park. It was also the site of the first 4th of July function in 1907. During the first few years, the Chamber also assisted with transportation in the City; the Chamber paid $400 to secure a railroad spur on Chamber-owned property which resulted in a railroad depot at the intersection of Railroad and James in 1909. In the early 1920s the Chamber worked with the City to obtain an easement for a ferry dock; construction of the dock cost approximately $9,250 and opened on May 16, 1923 with a 12-car, 56-foot boat called the City of Edmonds. In 1960 the Chamber elected Peggy Harris as one of the first women Chamber presidents in the United States. He invited the public to learn more about the history of the Chamber at their 100-year banquet. 4. DISCUSSION ON THE PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION ON THE DESIGN REVIEW GUIDELINES. Planning Manager Rob Chave described the history of this issue, explaining in 1993 the court case Anderson v. Issaquah highlighted the need for predicable design standards and a process to be followed. Since the court decision in that case addressed an ordinance essentially copied from Edmonds’ ordinance, it was felt necessary to make some revisions to the City’s ordinance. In 1999 the City Council Interurban Trail Project – Quiet Title Action Traffic Impact Fee Annual Report Sister City Commission Appointments Greater Edmonds Chamber of Commerce Design Review Guidelines Packet Page 177 of 195 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes February 6, 2007 Page 3 commissioned a study by Cedar River Associates who addressed the general design guidelines and design process. Their conclusions emphasized the need for design guidelines that were specific enough that developers knew what was expected and a process where design review occurred at the beginning rather than the end to allow influence of the design rather than reacting to a design that was presented. The Council then hired Cascade Design in 2000 to develop design guidelines that could be used by the City. The design guidelines they developed were reviewed by the Planning Board and a recommendation forwarded to the City Council. The Council reviewed the design guidelines in 2002 at which point there was a divergence of opinion; several members of the design community/developers were concerned the proposed design guidelines were too specific and would impinge on design flexibility. The specific design guidelines were then tabled and a portion adopted as part of the update to the sign code in 2003. The remainder of the design guidelines has been on hiatus since then. In 2005 some of the design objectives from the design guidelines developed by Cascade Design were incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan. These include the design objectives in the general design element of the Comprehensive Plan that apply citywide; a second set, more tailored to the downtown area were incorporated into the Downtown Plan. He advised most of the design guidelines were fairly generic, providing some guidance for design review and potentially developing specific regulations. Following the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, there was additional discussion by the Council with an urban design professional Mark Hinshaw whose focus was downtown. Mr. Hinshaw cited the importance of streamlining design review, focusing on what was important, believing that specific guidelines were difficult to draft and could hamper the design process. Mr. Chave noted the exception would be for a very specific theme such as Leavenworth which the Council did not feel was appropriate for Edmonds. Beginning in early 2006 the Council had additional discussion on design guidelines and the design review process. The ADB developed a set of design guidelines for use at the beginning of the process; these guidelines were advisory, less specific with general guidance. After the Council reviewed the design guidelines developed by the ADB, it was agreed they would be best in an upfront, advisory process with the ADB engaging in discussion with an applicant. It was also acknowledged at that time that specific, mandatory standards should be included in the code. In 2006 the Council forwarded the design review process to the Planning Board. The Planning Board spent six months in review and has now forwarded a recommendation to the Council. He noted during this same period, new General Commercial (CG) zones for Hwy. 99 were developed that included design guidance. Those zones were intended to have the new process apply because design guidance had been incorporated into the code which combined with the new design guidelines process upfront with the ADB should enable due process to be applied. The Council also adopted new downtown zoning (BD zones) that have very specific standards for height, bulk, design features, etc. He commented on the development of another set of guidelines by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). He advised the HPC planned to make a presentation on specific guidelines for the retail core to Council Committee next week followed by a presentation to the full Council in the future. He advised as design standards were developed area by area or zone-by-zone, the new process would supersede the old process until the old process no longer existed. Mr. Chave displayed a flowchart and described the old process which he noted was back-end loaded. The design review process did not begin until an application was submitted to the City because the process of design review required the applicant to prepare a significant level of detail. By the time an application was submitted, the developer has invested a great deal of time, effort and money into their design. He noted there were optional design review opportunities that some developers took advantage of but some did not. Thus the design review process occurred after the application was submitted and the appeal occurred at the end of the process, just prior to the applicant applying for a building permit. Packet Page 178 of 195 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes February 6, 2007 Page 4 Under the new process proposed by the Planning Board, Mr. Chave explained the design review process occurred almost entirely at the front of the process. The application to the City with the detailed design occurred after all design issues were resolved, creating a very streamlined process once the design issues had been addressed. The process recommended by the Planning Board was a two-phase public hearing, the first phase would be identifying critical issues the project needed to address; that phase would be advertised with notice to property owners within 300 feet. The applicant would then attempt to address those issues during further development of their design. He emphasized this would occur much earlier than the current process. Under the current process, by the time the applicant approached the City, they had a good idea of the design for the site. The intent of the proposed process was to engage the developer much earlier to identify issues of importance to their project. After the applicant had refined their design, they would come back to the ADB for the second phase of the hearing. At this point their design was still conceptual but with more specifics. At this second phase of the hearing, the ADB would impose conditions they want included in design that would ultimately result in a building permit. Any appeals would occur after the second phase of the hearing. Once all the design issues were resolved, the applicant would develop detailed design for a building permit. At that point staff would ensure the permit submissions were consistent with the ADB’s decision. Mr. Chave summarized the Planning Board’s recommendation retained the existing design process for most areas of the City but has a new design process that would be applied area-by-area as design guidelines/design standards were developed. The first two areas where the new process would apply were the CG zones on Hwy. 99 and the BD zones in downtown. The design review guidelines also formalize the landscape requirements. Councilmember Orvis asked how the design standards being developed by the HPC would fit into this process. Mr. Chave advised he was the staff person for the HPC, because the guidelines they were developing were very specific, he recommended they be incorporated into the code in the BD1 zone. Councilmember Orvis asked what an appeal would look like. Mr. Chave answered it would be on the ADB’s decision and whatever conditions they imposed on the project. Councilmember Orvis asked how the ADB choosing standards was not in opposition to Anderson v. Issaquah. City Attorney Scott Snyder answered the design guidelines and the checklist were a very extensive list. Because every neighborhood was unique, some factors would not apply to every area. The intent was to tailor the checklist before the application was complete so that the developer knew precisely what issues their design needed to address. Staff’s decision was then appealable in the same manner as a building permit via Land Use Petition Act (LUPA) to Superior Court. Councilmember Orvis posed an example, if the ADB identified an issue as a high priority and the applicant believed it was a lower priority, how would such an appeal be resolved. Mr. Snyder answered the Comprehensive Plan, design standards for the zone in concurrence with the general zoning process would be used. He explained one of the primary goals was to give citizens more influence at a stage before the developer had spent a great deal of money and were more likely to listen to the neighborhood’s concerns. He emphasized this would require citizens to get involved early in the process because once the specific design was approved, it would be difficult to challenge. Councilmember Marin was pleased with the proposed design guidelines; however, he suggested staff add to the first bullet regarding screening of dumpsters something like “and provide reasonable access for the utility providing service” to ensure the dumpsters were screened as well as accessible. Packet Page 179 of 195 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes February 6, 2007 Page 5 Councilmember Wambolt asked whether the renovation of Old Milltown would have been reviewed by the ADB or reviewed by staff if this new process had been in effect at the time the project was proposed. Mr. Chave explained under this process, only major projects had the upfront review by the ADB; minor projects that did not exceed the SEPA threshold would not. He explained the reason was if the intent was to apply specific standards to a project such as Old Milltown, the best way was to include those standards in the code. If design relied on a subjective public hearing, there was the danger of the public thinking a decision could be made on something that was outside the code. If the Council felt the standards developed by the HPC were important for buildings to acknowledge and respond to, they needed to be incorporated into the code. He cautioned against subjecting a minor project to a process with no hope of changing the design. Council President Olson advised the HPC would be making a presentation to the Council at the February 27 meeting. She noted it may be a more informal joint discussion around a table. Mr. Snyder agreed with Mr. Chave if the Council wanted an issue addressed, it should be included in the code. Another option would be, in neighborhoods or zone districts that the Council felt were very sensitive, to review everything in that neighborhood or zone. Mr. Chave cautioned reviewing everything assumed there could be an impact on what occurred. Councilmember Dawson suggested the Council may want to consider involving the public for projects in certain zones such as BD1 even if they could not force a change; some developers may be interested in working with the public and seeking their input. She asked about the timing of the HPC’s presentation to the Council and the public hearing on the design guidelines. Mr. Chave advised the Council could have a public hearing on the HPC’s recommendations but if their recommendation was to include standards in the code, it would require review by the Planning Board. Mr. Snyder stated the old process would remain in place while neighborhoods developed specific design guidelines. The new process would not affect a neighborhood until specific guidelines were in place. Councilmember Dawson asked for clarification regarding the provision for exempt developments that required structures or sites on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places have a certificate of appropriateness from the Edmonds HPC. Mr. Chave answered for a site on the City’s Register of Historic Places, any building permit would require a certificate from the HPC before approval by the City. Councilmember Dawson questioned whether such a structure or site should be exempt from this process or go through both processes. Mr. Chave anticipated the HPC’s standards would be specific. He cautioned that because the City’s register was voluntary, buildings could be withdrawn from the register. If a building withdrew from the register they would no longer be exempt and would be subject to the design review process. Councilmember Dawson asked whether the proposed design guidelines were clear enough with regard to a structure withdrawn from the register. Mr. Snyder suggested adding a sentence that a project would lose its vesting if withdrawn from the Historic Register.
