EMS Levy
As this would be the last televised Council meeting until May 20, the date of the EMS election. Mayor
Haakenson reminded citizens that ballots had been mailed and encouraged them to contact the Auditor’s
Office if they had not received a ballot. He noted the City Council passed a resolution in support of the
EMS Levy and urged citizens to vote “the right way” on the EMS levy.
Councilmember Wambolt noted there were two items on the May 20 ballot, the City’s EMS Levy as well
as the Edmonds School District Levy. If approved, both would take effect in 2009; the cost would be
$0.06 less per $1,000 of assessed value than this year.
Councilmember Wilson thanked those who participated in a group supporting the EMS Levy that
included several Councilmembers, Mayor Haakenson, Fire Chief Tom Tomberg, Doug Dahl, Margie
Hyde, Dave Page, Mike Mestres, Carol and Doug Shelton, Ryan Flynn, and several other community
members. He noted the Council was on record that the right way to vote was in favor of the EMS Levy.
Mayor Haakenson advised ballots could be dropped off at the Snohomish County Auditor’s Office or at
the Westgate QFC May 15-17 and May 19 from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. as well as on May 20 from 7:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m. There was also an Edmonds accessible voting machine site.
3. PROCLAMATION IN HONOR OF NATIONAL POLICE WEEK, MAY 11 - 17, 2008.
Mayor Haakenson read a proclamation declaring May 11-17 as Police Week in Edmonds and invited the
public to join him in honoring the service of law enforcement officers in the community and communities
across the nation and in recognizing the service and sacrifice of those law enforcement officers killed in
the line of duty while protecting the public and safeguarding democracy.
Mayor Haakenson recognized Darlene Stern in the audience, wife of the late David Stern, Edmonds
Police Chief.
Police Chief Al Compaan invited the Council and the public to the Police Department awards night on
May 15, National Peace Officers Memorial Day, in Council Chambers at 6:30 p.m. where members of the
Police Department would be recognized as well as members of the community for their efforts over the
past year to assist the Police Department.
4. SWEARING-IN OF CORPORAL AARON GREENMUN.
Mayor Haakenson advised this was the beginning of a new practice to swear in Police Officers before the
City Council.
Police Chief Al Compaan described Officer Greenmun’s background beginning as a cadet in January
1995. Officer Greenmun became a reserve officer in 1997 graduating in the top of his class. He was
Packet Page 5 of 509
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 6, 2008
Page 3
hired as a full-time officer in 1999, serving as a reserve academy instructor in domestic violence and
criminal law and teaching at the Edmonds Police Department citizen’s academy. He was selected as the
elementary school resource officer in 2003, and serves as the Department’s background investigator and
recruiter. He also began the American Cancer Society’s kayak adventure camp for teen cancer survivors
in 1999 and continues to lead their annual weeklong trip. He recently competed in a promotional test for
the rank of corporal and placed number one on the eligibility list. Chief Compaan swore in Corporal
Greenmun and his father pinned on his badge.
Corporal Greenmun introduced and thanked his wife, his two children, his mother and father, and his
mother-in-law. He also expressed his appreciation to Chief Stern’s wife, Darlene Stern, and his co-
workers for their support.
5. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE COMMUNITY TRANSIT SWIFT BUS RAPID TRANSIT (BRT)
STATIONS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
Traffic Engineer Bertrand Hauss explained the Swift BRT Community Transit Route was a 16.7 mile bus
route operated by Community Transit between the Everett Station and the Aurora Village Transit Center
in Shoreline primarily along Hwy. 99. There will be a station located at approximately each mile, 15
stations southbound and 14 stations northbound. Three stations will be located in Edmonds along
Highway 99, one on the southwest corner of Highway 99 at 216th Street, and two stations at Highway 99
and 238th on the northeast and southwest corners. He displayed an aerial view of the station platform for
the station located on the southwest corner of 238th, advising the only change to this location was
driveway reconfiguration; there would be no change in the local bus stop location. He advised the local
bus stop station on the northeast corner of 238th and Hwy. 99 would be relocated slightly north of the
proposed Swift station and there would be a slight driveway reconfiguration.
He displayed a drawing of the station, advising the platforms would be well lit with protected seating
areas, two vending machines where riders would pay fares prior to boarding, information signage, and
dynamic signage displaying the time of the next bus. He also displayed an aerial and side view of the
proposed stations. He described features of the proposed Swift BRT buses:
• Hybrid, articulated bus approximately 60 feet long
• ADA compliant
• Interior bike racks
• Ten minute headway between buses
• Operate 20 hours per day 7 days a week
• Reduced travel time from the current 71 minutes to approximately 50 minutes
• Traffic signal priority
Mr. Hauss advised the development agreement was designed to vest Community Transit for five years,
establishes mitigation measures agreed upon with Community Transit, identifies design standards and
ensures consistency.
He reviewed the station personalization menu that allows jurisdictions to select a concrete treatment
theme - bird, garden, sealife, water or woodland – and noted that staff recommends a combination of
water and sealife. Another opportunity for personalization is the station name. Edmonds has until
August 1, 2008 to select a name for the station at 238th & Hwy. 99. As the station on the northeast corner
of 216th & Hwy. 99 is within Lynnwood, Edmonds will need to coordinate the name of that station with
Lynnwood. Community Transit has also offered three options for a Swift station identifier on the top
right corner of each platform, 1) the City produces the identifier with up to $7,000 provided by
Community Transit, 2) the City creates and submits a design to Community Transit for fabrication of the
Packet Page 6 of 509
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 6, 2008
Page 4
identifier, or 3) the City’s logo. The City has until the end of the year to make a decision regarding the
identifier.
Mr. Hauss advised construction will begin in October 2008 and service is anticipated to begin in 2009.
He introduced John Anthony, BRT Implementation Manager, Community Transit.
For Councilmember Wambolt, Mr. Hauss described signal prioritization which via a sensor, activated a
green light to allow the Swift bus to proceed. He advised the Swift buses would operate in a BRT lane.
Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, noted the brochure indicated there would be point-to-point stations from
downtown Seattle to Everett. He also inquired about the amount time to travel from downtown Seattle to
Everett. Next he described bus service from the Chehalis/Olympia area to Hoquiam/Aberdeen at a cost of
$0.50 per trip and suggested consideration be given to a similar service from Hwy. 99 to Edmonds.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to the drawing of the station, advising he attended the ADB meeting
regarding the station design. He approved of the station and the artwork but expressed concern with the
height of the station sign. Recognizing the height was intended to make the sign visible from a distance,
he was concerned the mass of the sign was out of scale with the openness of the station. He
recommended the Council review the sign and determine whether it was appropriate.
Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Haakenson closed the public participation portion of the
public hearing.
In response to the question regarding the connection between the Swift bus and King County system,
John Anthony, BRT Implementation Manager, Community Transit, explained King County Metro
planned to begin construction on their BRT system, Rapid Ride, next year in a phased manner. Swift and
Rapid Ride would share a platform at the Aurora Transit Center which would allow patrons leaving Swift
to transfer to the Rapid Ride system on the same platform.
COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, TO
APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT REGARDING THE COMMUNITY TRANSIT
BUS RAPID TRANSIT (BRT) STATION AND APPROVE THE ENGINEERING DIVISION
WORKING WITH OTHER CITY STAFF, INCLUDING CULTURAL SERVICES AND
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TO DEVELOP THE ART-RELATED IDENTIFYING
ELEMENT(S) IN THE PLATFORM SURFACE FOR THE THREE STATIONS AND THE
NAMING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EACH STATION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Lora Petso, Edmonds, referred to a news article in the May 24 Edmonds Beacon that sought senior
softball players for games in Lynnwood and Everett, not Edmonds. She noted the 2008 Park Plan refers
to three regulation softball fields owned by the City; pointing out regulation was 275 feet. She displayed
aerial photographs of the three fields identified in the Park Plan. pointing out a distance of 275 feet would
take the field of play outside the facility. She referred to the requirement of a minimum of 100 yards for a
regulation soccer field, pointing out Frances Anderson Center at 55 yards, Seaview at 85 yards, and Sierra
at 85 yards were not regulation fields for adult play and were not large enough to quality as youth fields.
She noted the Washington State Youth Soccer Association specifies a field of 90 yards for U6-9 soccer
players. She pointed out a field the City may have acquired would have provided sufficient space for a
100 x 50 yard soccer field. She questioned how the City could be green when its citizens were required to
drive out of the city for basic services such as adult recreation. She pointed out although GMA gave the
Packet Page 7 of 509
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 6, 2008
Page 5
City discretion on how it met its park needs, GMA required the City to meet its park needs. She
concluded Edmonds was likely the only city of 40,000 people in the State seeking softball players for
games to be played in other cities.
Leandra Bernstein, LaRouche Political Action Committee, addressed the foreclosure crisis and the
fact that none of the banks in the United States were solvent. She recalled other members of the
Committee had spoken to the Council in the past urging them to adopt a resolution endorsing the
Homeowner and Bank Protection Act. She noted four states and one hundred cities have passed a
resolution; however, to date there has not been any action by Washington State or cities in Washington to
protect its citizens and banks. She questioned the inability for government to intervene on the free market
or banking system. She also expressed concern with the biofuel policy promoted by Al Gore and the
impact it was having on food prices. She provided written materials to the City Clerk.
Jenny Burns, LaRouche Political Action Committee, cited the world food and economic crisis,
explaining the Homeowner and Bank Protection Act would freeze home foreclosures and regulate banks
and speculation. She urged the City Council to meet with them and to adopt a resolution in support of the
Homeowner and Bank Protection Act.
Rose Cantwell, President, Board of Directors, South County Senior Center, explained her election in
March along with three other executive offers was the first in the 40 year history of the Center; previously
it was a closed board that nominated and elected themselves. Many other senior centers have been very
successful in including their membership on the Board and allowing them to vote. Although four new
members were elected, much of the previously existing Board remains and has a majority of twelve votes.
She noted at the two Board meetings that have been held since the election, those members passed
motions that were not in compliance with the bylaws or Articles of Incorporation. When she ruled the
motion out of order, they overruled the Chair’s position. She was concerned that meetings were being
conducted with no written guidelines and the 12 board members were dictating their wishes to over 1,000
members of the Center, a situation she doubted the community or the City would condone. She
emphasized the need to rewrite the bylaws. She noted an upcoming motion by members of the old Board
would not allow her to speak to the Council as President of the Board without the permission of the
Director of the Center.
Mike Cooper, Snohomish County Councilmember, welcomed Ms. Cantwell to speak to the Snohomish
County Council. He advised the Snohomish County Council passed a resolution that the County Council
did not plan to establish a countywide Transportation District with a $20 vehicle license fee without a
public vote prior to the May 22 deadline. He assured the Snohomish County Council was committed to
working with cities over the next several months to determine the viability of a resolution and possible
ballot measure on a region-wide Transportation Benefit District, including the possibility of a District
comprised of cities in the Urban Growth Area.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, referred to letters former Mayor Fahey and current Mayor Haakenson had
written regarding the South County Senior Center. He recalled former Mayor Fahey formed an advisory
committee that recommended replacing the senior center with a new building. Next, he reported on
Stevens Hospital Board meetings he has attended and the ability for the public to request information on a
Hospital Commissioner. He expressed his support for the May 20 EMS Levy, recalling the enactment of
$400 transportation fee in August 1997.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented Ms. Cantwell’s remarks were very polite compared to the
behavior of several members of the Senior Center Board at the last two meetings. He recalled
encountering Jeanette Wood and Mel Steinke, members of the old Board, as they were leaving a meeting
where they were developing their own bylaws to allow them to control the organization. He
Packet Page 8 of 509
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 6, 2008
Page 6
recommended the City and Snohomish County who provided funds to the Center take some action with
regard to the situation at the Senior Center. He also recommended forming a committee to provide
information to the Council. He expressed concern with the conduct of the old Board during Senior Center
Board meetings. He recalled 80% of the Senior Center membership voted for the new President and Vice
President. He urged the Council to take some action with regard to the Senior Center.
Ray Martin, Edmonds, encouraged the Council to educate themselves with regard to what was occurring
at the Senior Center, recognizing that several City Councilmembers, Mayor Haakenson and County
Councilmember Cooper had attended meetings at the Center. As the behavior of several Board members
at recent Senior Center Board meetings had been very unpleasant, he suggested a police officer attend the
meetings. He commended President Cantwell for her professional manner at the recent Board meetings
and encouraged Councilmembers to attend Board meetings.
Elizabeth Wingate, Edmonds, invited Councilmembers to attend the next Senior Center Board meeting.
She explained the board members who had been in office for a long period of time were meeting prior to
Board meetings and had proposed a number of motions that directly limited the effectiveness of the newly
elected officers, contrary to the bylaws and the Articles of Incorporation. She recalled the largest turnout
of members, 80%, voted in favor of the new members.
Dale Hoggins, Edmonds, Edmonds Cemetery Board Member and Chair of the Memorial Day program,
invited the community to the 26th annual Memorial Day ceremony on Monday, May 26th at 11:00 a.m. at
the Edmonds Memorial Cemetery and Columbarium where they would honor Gold Star Families and
remember those who have died serving our country. He explained there had been 13 Snohomish County
military casualties since September 11, 2001. The ceremony would also include a special salute to Rosie
the Riveters of WWII, a salute to the submarine service, and tours of the cemetery and columbarium. He
also invited the public to the annual Walk Back in Time on July 19, 2008, that included a guided tour of
the cemetery from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Mayor Haakenson thanked Mr. Hoggins for everything the
Cemetery Board and he did to present the best Memorial Day ceremony in Snohomish County if not the
State.
8. DRAFT RESOLUTION REGARDING STEVENS HOSPITAL
Councilmember Wilson recalled Stevens Hospital CEO Michael Carter cancelled his April 22
presentation to the Council. The following morning Councilmember Wilson attended the Stevens
Hospital Board meeting to express concerns/questions he raised at the Council meeting. At that meeting
he learned from an audience member that the Board planned to meet on May 8 at Embassy Suites to
consider the future of Stevens Hospital, a meeting that has not been advertised to the public. The agenda
for that meeting includes consideration of a possible bond and/or levy of approximately $400 million, and
possible sale of the facility or forming a public/private partnership. He commented on a recent meeting
with Commissioner Fred Langer to discuss his concern that there had not yet been any public dialogue.
Councilmember Wilson read an email from Commissioner Cole expressing her support for the Council’s
approval of the proposed resolution to impart the Council’s position to Stevens Hospital. She supported
Edmonds City Council joining SCIU and her in vocalizing a desire to avoid a sale or partnership and
focusing on strengthening the hospital in its current location.
Councilmember Wilson voiced his concern with the Stevens Hospital administration’s lack of
transparency and disrespect of the public.
Councilmember Wambolt commended Councilmember Wilson for surfacing this issue with Stevens
Hospital. He referred to a May 4 Everett Herald article regarding the award of a marketing contract to a
Packet Page 9 of 509
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 6, 2008
Page 7
company owned by one of the hospital officers and his wife. He assured the Council was not critical of
the healthcare provided by Stevens Hospital but had concerns with the administration. He questioned the
need for a $100,000 study to determine if the hospital was profitable, recalling the cost of a brief stay and
the number of patients served by the hospital. He questioned how Stevens Hospital could abandon the
medical infrastructure surrounding the hospital, noting duplicating those services would be costly to
taxpayers.
Mayor Haakenson referred to Section 1 of the resolution, that the City of Edmonds supports the further
development and success of Stevens Hospital in its current location and in its current governance and
organization structure and suggested adding to Section 2 [that the City of Edmonds] will oppose any
measure to relocate the hospital from its current location, any sale of this public asset to a private entity if
that sale would diminish or hinder the ongoing delivery of quality healthcare at Stevens Hospital, and
any initiative that will diminish or hinder the ongoing delivery of quality healthcare at Stevens Hospital.
Councilmember Wilson opposed the language proposed by Mayor Haakenson, advising he was open to
the idea that a sale and/or public/private partnership could be workable, but not until the administration
began a good faith, honest, transparent process which they had not yet done. As a public affairs
consultant, he had experience with the acquisition of public hospitals by a private entity. In one instance
in Idaho, it worked out; however, the other two in Washington State where the marketplace was highly
regulated, services at the community hospitals were diminished significantly and the public had no
recourse. He noted even with a good faith statement by an acquiring entity, the community lost all
control. Until information is submitted otherwise, he recommended Council oppose any private purchase.
Councilmember Wambolt did not support sale of the hospital to a private entity.
Councilmember Bernheim commented without comprehensive knowledge of the situation, he was not
prepared to condemn a potential sale of the hospital, particularly if it improved the quality of care. He
proposed an amendment that the City oppose any sale that would diminish or hinder the quality of
healthcare. He concluded it was premature for the Council to oppose the sale of the hospital without
further information. He questioned why moving the hospital was being contemplated and anticipated it
was only a rumor. He also expressed concern with Stevens Hospital awarding a contract to a publicity
company owned by the Executive Vice President.
Council President Plunkett expressed support for the resolution and an amendment such as Mayor
Haakenson suggested.
Councilmember Wilson assured relocating Stevens Hospital was not a rumor and had been a topic of
discussion by the hospital for years. He recalled expressing concern to Mr. Carter that a decision would
be made regarding relocation without adequate notice to the public and Mr. Carter’s confirmation that it
was likely the community would not be informed or allowed to participate in the discussion before a plan
to relocate the hospital was formulated. He recalled Multicare’s purchase of a hospital with the express
purpose of closing it because in the regulated marketplace, the increase per bed in revenue offset the
acquisition. In the case of Swedish Hospital’s acquisition of Ballard Hospital, the result was referrals
were made directly to Swedish. Similarly, if Stevens Hospital were acquired by Providence or Swedish
Hospital, patients would be referred to the owning hospital and would not have the option of going to
another hospital such as Northwest. He noted in all the instances where a hospital in Washington was
purchased by a private entity, services have diminished or the facility was closed. He assured the Council
could take a different position in the future once further assurances were offered; however, until then he
was opposed to any measure to relocate the hospital from its current location or the sale of the hospital.

Councilmember Wambolt expressed support for Councilmember Wilson’s comments, agreeing if
adequate data was provided supporting sale of the hospital, the Council could change its position.

Councilmember Wilson thanked Representative Liias for his work on Lake Ballinger. Representative
Liias thanked the City and particularly Councilmember Wilson for his assistance on that issue.
Councilmember Orvis expressed supported for taping Executive Sessions although he acknowledged it
was not uniformly supported by all Councilmembers. He explained Edmonds currently exceeded the
requirements and maintained minutes of Executive Sessions that were disclosed after the issue of the
Executive Session had been concluded.
Councilmember Orvis observed during the recent session, the Senate considered bills that would reform
guardianship laws in the State of Washington. He noted if guardianship laws were not drafted correctly,
they could unfairly deprive individuals of their liberty and property with little due process.
Councilmember Wambolt referred to Councilmember Orvis’ comment that some Councilmembers did
not favor taping Executive Sessions, noting he was not referring to the Edmonds City Council as
Edmonds City Councilmembers did not oppose taping Executive Sessions.
Student Representative Scheibert thanked Representative Liias for the invitation she received to a
community meeting shortly after his appointment.
9. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Haakenson urged the public to vote for the EMS levy. Next, he congratulated Councilmember
Wilson on the birth of his second child tomorrow.
10. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council President Plunkett also congratulated Councilmember Wilson.

Councilmember Wambolt relayed a number of citizens had asked him what EMS was; he explained it was
Emergency Medical Service - the aid car that responded when someone called 911.
With regard to the Senior Center, Councilmember Wambolt anticipated the Council would be contacted
by citizens urging them to do something about the situation. He acknowledged there were limits with
regard to what the City could do but anticipated there must be something that could be done. He was
confused that new officers had been elected but there were still old board members. He noted unlike most
organizations, the Senior Center bylaws allows the election of officers but not board members, a practice
he noted was backward; typically the membership elected board members and the board named the
officers. He asked whether Mayor Haakenson had any recommendations regarding what could be done.
Mayor Haakenson responded he had attended board meetings as well as communicated with many of the
board members regarding their concerns. He agreed the organization of the Senior Center was confusing,
explaining the original bylaws were written incorrectly and need to be revised. He planned to meet with
Ms. Cantwell this week and attend the May 21 Board meeting and offered to provide the Council an
update at the May 27 meeting.
Councilmember Wilson thanked the Council for their congratulations on the impending birth of his
daughter. He reiterated Councilmember Wambolt’s comments regarding the Senior Center and suggested
withholding funding to the Senior Center until there was clarity regarding the organizational structure.
Mayor Haakenson explained the Council approved $40,000-50,000 in each year’s budget for programs
and services at the Senior Center. He did not support withholding funding as it would unfairly penalize
the users of the Senior Center as well as require that those programs and services be provided via the
Parks & Recreation Department budget. He was hopeful a workable solution could be identified.
Councilmember Bernheim agreed there was a mess at the Senior Center, commenting he had visited the
Center both as a Councilmember and a Senior Center member. He found it distressing that the members
of the Senior Center must devote their sunset years to these types of internal squabbles that were
substantially unjustified by the “old guard.” He noted the 80% vote of the membership was an undeniable
expression of the membership’s wish that the old guard liberalize their closed ways and cease their
squabbling about taking way power from the officers. He urged Councilmembers to join him at the
Senior Center’s May 7 open door meeting of the board members and at the Board meeting on May 21 at
6:30 p.m. He noted attendance by the Council at the Board meeting may encourage board members to
refrain from acting in the manner they have at previous meetings.
Councilmember Bernheim reported on the dedication of the I-5 overpass at 124th Street, commenting on
the connection this provided between Edmonds and Everett on the interurban trail.
Student Representative Scheibert commented on the presentation by the members of the LaRouche
Political Action Committee, encouraging the Council to separate Al Gore’s environmental goals from his
financial goals. She congratulated Councilmember Wilson on the impending birth of his new baby.
11. ADJOURN
With no further business, the Council meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m.

Submitted By:Stephen Clifton Time:45 Minutes
Department:Community Services Type:Information
Review Committee:
Action:
Information
Subject Title
Update from Washington State Ferries.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
No Recommendation.
Previous Council Action
Narrative
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Ferries Division Assistant Secretary
David Moseley, and John White, Director of Terminal Engineering, will be presenting an update
on issues related to Washington State Ferries (WSF). One focus of the update relates to Ferry
Finance Legislation and its related impacts to the overall Ferry System capital and operational
programs. As mentioned in past Community Services and Economic Development Quarterly
Reports, during the 2007 legislative session, the Legislature passed Engrossed Substitute House
Bill (ESHB) 2358 - “the Ferry Bill” - and an associated biennial transportation budget ESHB
1094. Each piece of legislation contains specific policy and operational directives to assess the
efficiency and costs related to how WSDOT/WSF provides service. The results of the studies
conducted to address the legislation are intended to derive strategies for how WSDOT/WSF
operates in the future.
Two documents are attached which provide an overall framework for discussing Ferry Finance
Legislation and associated work plan, in addition to a work plan and draft evaluation framework.
Messrs. Moseley and White will provide additional information during their presentations.
Messrs. Moseley and White have also been asked to discuss the relationship between Ferry
Finance Legislative requirements and multimodal terminals such as Edmonds Crossing. A
preview of operational and pricing strategies will also be provided by Rob Berman with KPFF.
The presentation will generally follow the outline below:
- Introductions (David Moseley) - 15 min
- Overview of Ferry Financing Legislation and update on Edmonds Crossing Project (John White)
- 10 min
- Preview of Operational and Pricing Strategies (Rob Berman) - 10 min

Information
Subject Title
2008 Recommendation from the Citizens Commission on Compensation of Elected Officials.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Staff recommends bringing forward the Commission's recommendation for review and action.
Previous Council Action
The Commission meets every even numbered year, therefore, the last recommendation from the
Citizens Commission was brought to Council in 2006. In 2006, the recommendation included an
increase in compensation for the position of Mayor in keeping with comparable cities and no
change to health insurance. The recommendation for Council included no change to salary and a
reduction in health insurance benefits reflecting the salary/benefit structure of other cities. In
2006, Council approved the increase for the position of Mayor and declined approval of the
recommendations regarding Council.

City of Edmonds Community Cultural Plan
2008 Update
Promote and sustain a vibrant cultural community through proactive
partnerships and civic leadership, a network of successful cultural facilities,
effective marketing and outreach strategies, and broad participation in a diverse
range of cultural offerings.
Executive Summary
The 2008 Community Cultural Plan update builds on the strategies and successes of the
original cultural plan completed in 1994 and updated in 2001. The purpose of the plan is to
identify strategies that will:
X guide the City and community in planning for continued cultural development;
X support development and maintenance of cultural facilities;
X integrate cultural planning with other planning efforts citywide; and
X utilize cultural resources as integral aspects of downtown and waterfront
redevelopment.
The 2008 update focuses on two big picture objectives that can broadly be categorized as
“Destination” and “Participation.”
“Destination” is an economic development strategy that promotes the range and variety of
cultural offerings in Edmonds to attract visitors, build new audiences, and shape the City’s
future growth with culture as a significant component in urban investment.
“Participation” is a quality of life issue. Edmonds’ residents are “doers.” The citizens
involved in the creation of these plan recommendations expressed a strong desire to see an
expansion of the range of cultural experiences and classes available to residents of the City.
Community Cultural Plan - 1 -
Packet Page 213 of 509
The update process included two public meetings, three additional meetings of a 20-member
Cultural Plan Advisory Committee, and two public hearings. The Committee evaluated the
previous plans, achievements of the past 13 years, input from the public meetings, and
rearticulated the original five goals that support a vision for the future. These five goals
along with detailed implementation strategies form the recommendations of the updated 2008
Community Cultural Plan:
1. Build Edmonds’ identity as a cultural destination: implementation strategies
focus on overarching marketing strategies and identity-building projects.
2. Encourage effective partnerships between organizations and leaders in arts and
heritage, business, education, tourism, recreation, and local government that
support cultural opportunities and experiences for residents and visitors and
increase awareness of cultural assets: implementation strategies focus on the
City’s leadership role for commitments that support a common cultural vision.
3. Develop facilities for visual arts and enhance facilities for the performing arts:
implementation strategies focus on spaces for culture.
4. Increase the visibility and accessibility of information about cultural events and
venues to visitors and Edmonds residents: implementation strategies focus on
fostering more awareness and easy access to information.
5. Broaden community involvement and participation in a diverse range of cultural
activities: implementation strategies focus on activities and people.
Although there are many recommendation strategies that support the five goals, the following
represent the most significant actions the City should take to guide its investment in the
cultural community between 2008 and 2017:
X Coordinate effective marketing strategies to promote the City’s cultural offerings,
and increase awareness and visibility of cultural resources;
X Support the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor as a City priority for shaping downtown
connectivity and cultural vibrancy and move forward with first phase
implementation;
X Undertake an analysis of existing and proposed cultural facilities with an emphasis
on better shared uses of existing facilities, expanded and improved facilities, and
opportunities to provide more diversified activities for the visual arts, teens and
seniors;
X Commit City resources and encourage private commitment to the acquisition and
development of small, shared public spaces with art amenities or public art
enhancements;
X Ensure that the cultural community is represented and considered in all City planning
activities, economic development initiatives and capital investments to ensure an arts-
friendly community focus.

Edmonds Crystals: Linear Progression by Valdis Zarins, 1991
Introduction
The City of Edmonds demonstrated its commitment to promoting a vibrant cultural life for its
residents and visitors by adopting a comprehensive, articulate and thoughtful Community
Cultural Plan in 1994. The plan was updated in 2001, with an opportunity to assess
accomplishments and test the forward-thinking recommendations contained in the original
document. The Community Cultural Plan was again updated in 2008 to re-engage citizens
and leaders and articulate a cultural direction for the next ten years. The update process
included two public meetings, participation in the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space
Comprehensive Plan (PROC) update, and work with an advisory committee representing
local arts organizations, artists, and other individuals and agencies involved with arts, culture
and heritage in the Edmonds community. In addition, two public hearings were held. The
Community Cultural Plan is an element of the City Comprehensive Plan; aspects of cultural
planning are also included in both the Parks Plan and the Streetscape Plan.
The 2008 Cultural Plan update focuses on two big picture objectives that can be broadly
categorized as “Destination” and “Participation.” These overarching objectives emerged from
discussions with the 2008 Cultural Plan Advisory Committee. The committee summarized
central objectives related to culture that benefit residents and will attract visitors: enhance
Edmonds’ profile as a tourist and visitor destination, contribute to the City’s economic
vitality, increase participation in the arts through access to a wider variety of cultural
offerings, and employ marketing and outreach strategies to promote those events, venues,
classes and performances.
Building on the 1994 and 2001 Cultural Plans, the latest update puts significant focus on
“Edmonds as a cultural destination.” The community and the City of Edmonds, working with
a strong network of cultural partners, have accomplished a great deal to create this reality
since the completion of the 1994 plan. The Edmonds Arts Festival, which first put Edmonds
on the cultural map, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2007. Several other community arts
organizations will also celebrate 25 – 50 year milestones (Driftwood Players, Cascade
Community Cultural Plan - 3 -
Packet Page 215 of 509
Symphony, Gallery North, Sculptor’s Workshop and Olympic Ballet). Edmonds has evolved
exponentially over the past 13 years of its cultural development history. The Summer Market
has grown and flourished. Third Thursday Artwalks are a popular event and the number of
galleries has increased. ArtWorks was established as a gathering place for visual arts, Artists
Connect produces multiple events, the annual Art Studio Tour was developed, and Edmonds
Community College created the ArtsNow program in Edmonds. The City has integrated
public art in major pedestrian connections in the downtown/waterfront area, created a
Streetscape Plan that emphasizes the aesthetics of the public realm, and increased staffing in
its Cultural Services Division. The Edmonds PFD was created by Council and purchased and
renovated the Edmonds Center for the Arts. The Council also formed a Historic Preservation
Commission to broaden support for culture to include heritage and historic preservation.
Further details on the community’s accomplishments are listed in Appendix A.
This growth has created a whole new set of opportunities and challenges for the next ten-year
cycle of cultural development. Edmonds in 2008 (population 40,560) is a mature,
multifaceted cultural community with numerous visible successes that must be sustained, but
with some exciting new opportunities that are addressed in this update.
All communities face challenges to growth and change. As the next ten-year cultural plan
unfolds, strong City leadership is needed to overcome challenges and ensure a thriving
cultural community. Here are some of the concerns voiced by citizens:
X Insufficient funding and staffing for cultural services provided by the City;
X Continuing need for more effective communication that ensures opportunity for early
and successful incorporation of arts and culture into civic planning;
X Escalating real estate prices affecting spaces for artists’ live/work, artist studio
rentals, small arts businesses and arts organizations;
X Potential loss of public space in the downtown core as development continues, and a
lack of political will to impose standards that support arts-friendly private
developments;
X Need for an economic development leadership and committed marketing plan for
culture as part of marketing the city as a whole;
X Importance of ensuring economic support of the Edmonds Center for the Arts.
The Destination and Participation construct is a useful conceptual framework to articulate the
extraordinary commitment to culture as a core part of the City’s identity and activity.
Beginning with the community vision stated in the 1994 Cultural Plan that the “natural
beauty of Edmonds creates a stunning backdrop and gathering place where the collaborative
efforts of the arts, business, and people are woven together to create vibrant community,”
Edmonds has demonstrated that culture matters. It matters to its citizens as a form of
community-building, recreation, continuing education and place-making and it matters to its
business community as an economic engine. “Edmonds is an arts town,” is a statement as
likely to come from a business leader as an Arts Commissioner.
Community Cultural Plan - 4 -
Packet Page 216 of 509
Destination and Participation aren’t two
separate boxes; they are overlapping
circles, focusing initiatives externally and
internally. The arts programs and cultural
opportunities that serve Edmonds’ residents
are also attractive to visitors. For example,
a vibrant 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor that
connects the downtown with the Edmonds
Center for the Arts (ECA) will provide
Edmonds residents with a place to enjoy
activities as simple as sitting in an outdoor
café, perhaps listening to a chamber trio,
and strolling past visual art along the
corridor before an evening performance at
the ECA. This activity is no less appealing
to visitors.
Finally, Destination and Participation also have special significance as part of this second
update to the original plan. The 2007-8 process has afforded the opportunity and the
responsibility to look back at the participation, to analyze what worked. What hasn’t been
done, but still has broad support from citizens? What was started that now needs on-going
stewardship? While looking back at past participation, the Cultural Plan Advisory
Committee also charted a course for a new destination, imagining what Edmonds’ cultural
community looks like in 2017.
As Edmonds begins to envision the next phase of cultural development, the city cannot take
for granted or neglect those long-time or recently developed initiatives that already work.
The Edmonds Arts Festival and Foundation (EAF, EAFF); the annual seasons produced by
the Driftwood Players, Cascade Symphony, Olympic Ballet Theatre, and Edmonds Center for
the Arts (ECA); the Write on the Sound Writers’ Conference; Third Thursday ArtWalks; Art
Studio Tours; the Summer Market; Jazz Connection, Concerts in the Park, and the City
Public Art Collection are city and regional assets that require on-going sustenance.

Plan Recommendations
Goals, Objectives and Implementation Strategies
During the community conversations to form these recommendations, the five goals from the
1994-2001 plans were examined and prioritized. This plan presents some revisions to the
previous five goals and reiterates some recommendations found in the earlier plans. This plan
adds a greater emphasis on Edmonds as a cultural destination, reformulating the goal to
Promote the Arts as Partners in Economic Development to become Build Edmonds’ Identity
as a Cultural Destination. The economic value of culture is still at the heart of this plan’s
recommendations, interwoven into all five goals rather than offered as a stand-alone strategy.
It is inevitable that goals and strategies overlap, a direct result of the emphasis on broad based
support through effective partnerships and the recognition that cultural life is an intrinsic part
of all aspects of civic life: social, economic, aesthetic, and educational. The 4th Avenue
Cultural Corridor for example could easily be articulated as a significant step towards
achieving all five goals.
The update planning process stressed setting clear priorities rather than a long list of wishes.
Edmonds has demonstrated a track record of thoughtful and regular planning assessments.
This is an important distinction for the City and encourages looking at a community-wide
cultural work plan that can reasonably be accomplished in the 10-year planning window and
which represents the most important big picture investments of time and resources to further
the City’s cultural community and identity. This Community Cultural Plan update is also
intended to work in concert with the City’s Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan and
Streetscape Plan, and annual planning initiatives such as the Edmond Arts Commission
Strategic Plan and the City’s Capital Improvements Projects planning cycle.

1. Build Edmonds’ identity as a cultural destination.
Overarching marketing strategies and identity-building projects
When the 1994 Community Cultural Plan was adopted, the notion of Edmonds as a
cultural destination was articulated as “repositioning the arts from back stage to center
stage.” The City and its committed cultural partners and volunteers have been extremely
successful in building Edmonds’ identity as a cultural destination. Internally and
externally Edmonds is perceived as a burgeoning cultural center. Better transportation
connections and real estate development near the waterfront will only continue to
increase the attraction of Edmonds to visitors.
Developing an effective marketing strategy focused on the arts is still a top priority for
citizens. A logical work plan for the City’s Economic Development Department, all
marketing efforts should consider the dual audiences of Edmonds residents and visitors
from the surrounding area and beyond. The Port of Edmonds recently initiated a
successful program marketing Edmonds as a destination for recreational boaters and the
arts are part of what they promote.
Edmonds recognizes that it has special attributes that distinguish it from neighboring
communities and especially the City of Seattle. This niche positioning is evident in the
strategic growth and marketing plans for Port and City development. This same strategy
will serve the cultural community. Many examples of potential new attractions were
offered by the Advisory Committee including “Night Out in Edmonds” with chamber
music performances and garage bands on the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor; artist-
designed lighting fixtures or poles for hanging flower baskets; and a travel film festival
capitalizing on the success of Edmonds’ travel guru Rick Steves.
1.1. Encourage the Economic Development Department to establish a staff or contract
position to lead city-wide marketing efforts that include marketing the arts. (City of
Edmonds)
1.2. Develop an effective coordinated marketing strategy, regionally and statewide, to
promote Edmonds and its arts and culture as a destination to regional visitors and
adjacent communities. (City of Edmonds, Chamber of Commerce, Edmonds Center
for the Arts, Edmonds Community College (EdCC), Port of Edmonds)
1.3. Prioritize development of or continuing support for unique cultural projects that
distinguish Edmonds as different from other regional cities:
1.3. a. Support the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor and linear park component with a
commitment for design level planning, a funding plan, and phase one
implementation through the city’s capital budget. The project is also
referenced in the Parks Plan and the Streetscape Plan. It is a key economic
development project linking the historic Edmonds Center for the Arts and
Main Street which will enhance pedestrian connections within the
downtown, highlight cultural assets including public art, historic buildings
Community Cultural Plan - 9 -
Packet Page 221 of 509
and community history, and encourage mixed use development and
adaptive reuse. (City of Edmonds, Chamber of Commerce, Historic
Museum)
1.3. b. Support the Port of Edmonds Art Policy guidelines to support artwork
inclusion in Port projects and in projects proposed by its tenants. A critical
area for Port-supported public art and public space with art enhancements
is the Harbor Square development. (Port of Edmonds, private developers)
1.3. c. Expand support and advocacy for unique cultural events that attract
regional and out of state visitors like the Edmonds Arts Festival, and the
Writers’ Conference. (City of Edmonds, Chamber of Commerce, Edmonds
Center for the Arts, Edmonds Community College, Port of Edmonds,
Snohomish County Lodging Tax)
Resources: Additional staff or contract position in the Economic Development Office
along with budget for a marketing plan and implementation. Art Policy adopted by the
Port of Edmonds will encourage more investment in public art in key areas of waterfront
development as well as stimulate public/private sector partnerships to commission public
art. Continue to seek County Lodging tax revenues earmarked for marketing of events
that contribute to county tourism and could be directed towards promoting Edmonds
cultural events and festivals. City commitment to begin initial development of the 4th
Avenue Cultural Corridor and include review of zoning and land-use designations and
the possibility of land purchases.

2. Encourage effective partnerships between organizations and leaders in arts and
heritage, business, education, tourism, and local government that support cultural
opportunities and experiences and increase awareness of cultural assets.
City’s leadership role for commitments that support a common cultural vision
Edmonds cultural community’s successes rely on a coalition of public and private
partners. This strategy has been extraordinarily successful; however, there are concerns
expressed by citizens that an emphasis on “partnership” can lead to a leadership vacuum.
Still, it is clear that many of the biggest and best cultural initiatives are, by their very
sweeping nature, dependent on effective partnerships.
A commitment by the major partnership players is critical to further Edmonds cultural
growth. These partners include: the City; the business, non-profit, and development
community; Port of Edmonds; Edmonds Public Facility District; Edmonds School
District and Edmonds Community College. Each of these partners has an important role
to play as a leader on various cultural initiatives. The central leadership role as facilitators
of this Cultural Plan is the City and its Arts Commission.
Community building is also promoted by the physical spaces and places provided for
citizens as well as the programming alternatives. Edmonds has a small town feel, and its
downtown core serves well as a beautiful gathering space for community that supports a
wide range of activities. Preserving that essential character in the face of future growth
and change will rely on a zoning plan and guidelines for development that ensure that
Edmonds remains a pedestrian-friendly culture-oriented community.
This plan endorses one of the most significant initiatives for the next ten-year
implementation cycle, the realization of the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor. Of all the
potential cultural enhancements to Edmonds’ downtown, the development of 4th Avenue
Community Cultural Plan - 11 -
Packet Page 223 of 509
is key; it will stimulate mixed-use development opportunities and ensure connectivity
from the downtown to ECA. The 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor will set the stage for
Edmonds’ residents and visitors to gather and enjoy the many cultural activities Edmonds
has to offer. The development of 4th Avenue as well as other recommendations found in
this section requires a comprehensive analysis of the use of real estate to best
accommodate the needs of Edmonds’ performing and visual arts community.
2.1. Encourage the City of Edmonds Economic Development Department to work with
the Cultural Services division to establish a “Cultural Committee” of
representatives from the major partnering entities. Begin a regular quarterly
meeting schedule to identify common initiatives and assign leadership roles. The
first meeting of the committee should include a thorough briefing on the 2008
Updated Community Cultural Plan recommendations as a basis for establishing a
common work plan for all partners. (City of Edmonds - Economic Development
Department,, Planning Division, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services
Department, Cultural Services Manager, EAC, Historic Preservation Commission ;
Port of Edmonds; Edmonds Community College, pARTners and ArtsNow;
Edmonds School District, Chamber of Commerce, ECA/Public Facilities District;
Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation, Edmonds Historical Museum)
2.2. Continue to work closely with the Port of Edmonds, Harbor Square and Antique
Mall Redevelopment Program, and Sound Transit to adopt plans that support
cultural uses such as galleries, cultural attractions, arts marketplace, and that
incorporate visual art. (Port of Edmonds, City of Edmonds, Edmonds Arts Festival
and Foundation, Chamber of Commerce, Sound Transit)
2.3. Support the creation of pocket parks and public amenities with art elements in new
and existing developments and the preservation (and renovation) of small multi-use
gathering spaces throughout the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center and other
key locations in the community. See the City of Edmonds Streetscape Plan and
Parks Plan. (City of Edmonds, Chamber of Commerce, Stevens Hospital)
2.4. Encourage the City to review/develop zoning and permitting incentives that
actively encourage developments that sustain the vision for a people-friendly,
culture-oriented downtown, which includes public art and public space, and adds to
a rich network of cultural resources. (City of Edmonds, City of Edmonds Planning
Board and Historic Preservation Commission, Chamber of Commerce)
2.5. Foster partnerships and cooperative programming between Edmonds Community
College, ECA, EAFF, Edmonds Library, South County Senior Center, and
Edmonds School District to promote classes and activities aimed at building new
audiences for culture. (Edmonds Community College, ECA/Public Facilities
District, Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation, Edmonds Sno-Isle Library, Edmonds
School District, City of Edmonds, South County Senior Center)
Community Cultural Plan - 12 -
Packet Page 224 of 509
Resources: City commitment for ongoing review of zoning and land-use designations
and possible land purchases. The other recommendations in this section rely more on an
effective and persistent vehicle for convening a broad cross section of civic leaders and
encouraging a collaborative vision.
3. Develop facilities for visual arts and enhance facilities for the performing arts.
Spaces for culture
A major goal of the original 1994 Edmonds cultural plan, reiterated and expanded in
2001, was the development of a premier performing arts facility and it is important to
ensure that the Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA) succeeds and that sound funding
strategies are developed. Renovation for the first phase of the ECA was completed in
2006. Future enhancements such as improved event parking and back-of-house support
areas (green room, dressing rooms, storage, set assembly and load-in) will expand the
functionality of the center and ensure its long-term success. Additionally, the “Music
Building” on the ECA property is currently underutilized, and could be renovated for
more consolidated cultural activities. Although clearly focused on the performing arts
with the first phase renovation, the ECA is designated as a center for the arts, and that
could include additional facility programming for visual arts, and teen and senior arts
programming. Possibilities should be explored for providing space suitable for small
theater or dance performances and visual art.
The visual arts play an important role in the cultural life of Edmonds, and the space needs
of visual and other arts organizations and artists remain a point of concern and debate.
Sculptor’s Workshop, Olympic Ballet dance school and company, and the Edmonds Arts
Festival Foundation gallery are located in the Frances Anderson Center, which is
currently operating at full capacity. ArtWorks is housed in the former Public Works
Building, a facility it shares with Driftwood Players’ rehearsal annex. The City should
work with partners to analyze the space needs of these various arts programs as well as
the continuing request from citizens for additional gallery, exhibition and museum space
to determine how their combined requirements can best be served.
Community Cultural Plan - 13 -
Packet Page 225 of 509
As the use of existing real estate for performing and visual arts is reviewed, the City
should consider developing space which could include use for teens to rehearse new
music, produce film and video and spoken word programs. There are currently few
opportunities for teens to become active participants in and contributors to Edmonds’
cultural profile. Seniors have also been cited as underserved by existing spaces and it
may be more realistic to co-locate activities for a multi-generational, multi-faceted
facility.
The City should also develop strategies and facilities that encourage sharing traditions of
various cultures. Edmonds ethnic population is growing and its needs for space for
events, performances, exhibits and gatherings should be a factor in cultural facility
planning.
The affordability of real estate in Edmonds is an obstacle for artists. This is a critical
situation faced by many cities in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties. If artists cannot
afford homes and studios in this region, they will relocate to places with more support for
live/work space for themselves and their families. Rental properties, particularly studio
space, may be more critical support for emerging artists. Many established artists living
in Edmonds have purchased homes with working spaces.
3.1. Support completion of a study to determine the cost and sources of funding for the
ECA to improve parking and back-of-house support; consider also viable funding
and marketing strategies to support on-going operations. (ECA/Public Facilities
District, City of Edmonds, EdCC)
3.2. Fund an analysis for a multi-purpose visual arts facility which may co-locate space
for classes, studios, exhibitions, rehearsal space, teen and senior activities, as well
as increased exhibition/museum space of interest to the Edmonds Arts Festival
Foundation; include an analysis of activities currently supported in the Frances
Anderson Center and at ArtWorks. (City of Edmonds, Edmonds Arts Festival
Foundation, ArtWorks, ECA/Public Facilities District)
3.3. Invite ArtsSpace Projects to produce a workshop on culture-friendly mixed-use
development including artists live-work developments; use the forum for education
and conversation about successful developments in other cities that support a
healthy cultural community, particularly an analysis of how the 4th Avenue Cultural
Corridor can support artist live/work spaces and arts businesses; include an
analysis of rental spaces specifically targeting both emerging and mature artists as
part of the workshop. (City of Edmonds, City of Everett, Snohomish County,
Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, ECA/Public Facilities District, ArtsSpace
Projects, 4Culture)
3.4. Support City funding plan and schedule for the necessary building maintenance at
City owned facilities that house cultural functions: Wade James Theatre, Edmonds
Community Cultural Plan - 14 -
Packet Page 226 of 509
Museum, South County Senior Center, Frances Anderson Center and Old Public
Works Building. (City of Edmonds)
3.5. Support use of public space such as the Rotary Pavilion at City Park, 4th Avenue,
Dayton Street Plaza and ECA grounds for temporary visual and performing arts
events. (City of Edmonds, ECA/Public Facilities District)
Resources: Initial resources for workshops and feasibility studies could be modest but
would require staff time. Significant funding may be needed based on the initial studies.

4. Increase the visibility and accessibility of information about cultural events and venues to
visitors and Edmonds residents.
Awareness and access to information
The Advisory Committee voiced overwhelming support for increasing arts “visibility.”
Developing a network of coordinated communication tools, including the EAC website
and electronic kiosks located in the downtown core and at the public library, could
significantly increase accessibility of information to Edmonds residents and visitors alike.
In 1994, email was a novelty. Even in 2001, most arts organizations and municipal
governments were designing their first websites. Now, world-wide connectivity is
increasing every day, and most young people understand that any and all information is
just a search engine click away.
One theme that emerged throughout all conversations with community members is the
need to ensure that the cultural community is represented – at the table so to speak—
when the City is developing its long range development plans and investing in streetscape
improvements and capital projects. By leveraging all its resources and working
Community Cultural Plan - 15 -
Packet Page 227 of 509
collaboratively, the arts visibility could increase if promoted, for example, through
artistic design elements incorporated within city-wide way-finding signage systems and
streetscape investments. Connecting culture to broader city investments may not involve
significantly greater resources, just a better commitment to communication and
awareness.
The “clustering” strategy laid out in the original 1994 Cultural Plan which promotes
adjacencies of cultural facilities, public art and other civic amenities like gathering places
into a focused area or district, particularly the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center, is
still a good strategy for stimulating collaboration, greater visibility and accessibility. (See
the Streetscape Plan.)
4.1 Install at least one electronic kiosk as a pilot project to provide instant access to
downtown activities and city-wide information on cultural events and facility
locations. Initiatives like this address one of the most frequently mentioned
potential improvements to cultural visibility: awareness. (City of Edmonds,
Edmonds Community College ArtsNow, Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, National
Endowment for the Arts, Edmonds Sno-Isle Public Library)
4.2. Improve the Edmonds Arts Commission website; explore ways to more actively
market venues and programs and provide information to regional website/calendar
sites. Form a work plan in collaboration with EdCC pARTners and Snohomish
County Arts Commission to identify issues regarding cost and how to manage on-
going operations and content generation for a regional arts website. Develop a
strategy for fund raising if necessary that may include grants from the NEA and
Snohomish County Lodging Tax fund. (City of Edmonds, Edmonds Community
College pARTners, National Endowment for the Arts, Snohomish County Lodging
Tax, Snohomish County Arts Commission)
4.3. On the expanded Edmonds Arts Commission website, create more access to
information about cultural venues for groups or individuals who want to offer more
programming or use local facilities for a one-time event. Use the “Space Finder”
approach, building on data already collected in the cultural facility inventory to
make information more available. Suggest the electronic Space Finder as a project
for EdCC classes. (City of Edmonds, Edmonds Community College ArtsNow,
Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, National Endowment for the Arts, Snohomish
County Lodging Tax, Snohomish County Arts Commission)
4.4. Use all available way-finding and informational signage, particularly on the
waterfront and in the downtown core, to reinforce a greater awareness of cultural
identity, venues and activities, and establish the experience of Edmonds as a place
that supports a vibrant cultural life in concert with recommendations in the
Streetscape Plan. (City of Edmonds, Edmonds Arts Commission)
4.5. Cluster investments in public art to create a visible presence of art in the downtown
and waterfront and reinforce key gateways and corridors in the City, for example
Community Cultural Plan - 16 -
Packet Page 228 of 509
the International District gateway on Highway 99. The most important areas of
concentration for public art investments include: artist-designed flower pole
features to replace existing poles, extension of sidewalk inlays that mark key
downtown connections, and investments in temporary and permanent public art
along the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor. (City of Edmonds, City of Edmonds Arts
Commission, City of Edmonds Planning Board)
4.6. Add small-scale public amenity artworks to the City Gift Catalogue to encourage
citizens to underwrite through individual donations, the creation of artist-made
streetscape furnishings, for example, flower basket poles. (City of Edmonds,
Edmonds Arts Commission)
Resources: Adding information to Edmonds Arts Commission’s website and having an
active public relations effort announcing programs and events may not be expensive, but
it will involve a commitment of staff time to serve as an information clearing house and
to develop web-based content. It may be possible for some of these functions to be
implemented by regional websites. Installing information kiosks in the downtown core,
however, will require investment, but not necessarily from the City. The National
Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has an active funding program for initiatives that are
intended to help expand audiences for the arts. Electronic websites will require updates
and content creation and Edmonds Community College may be willing to use its courses
to support this on-going activity. EAC has successfully installed excellent public art on
the waterfront, demonstrating that arts can be used to enhance the public’s enjoyment of
civic spaces; using art as a way-finding mechanism is a natural next step, requiring only a
continuing commitment to “clustering” public art and mindfulness about collaborations
with other City signage programs. To ensure the collaboration, the Cultural Services
Division/Edmonds Arts Commission, must be at the table in all City planning initiatives.
It is important that Cultural Services updates continue to be part of the quarterly reports
at Planning Board. The City’s 1% for art revenue for public art and art maintenance could
be augmented through a program modeled on the City Gift Catalogue where citizens are
given an opportunity to fund items such as benches and trees. Broadening this program
to include artist-designed flower poles for example, along with other discrete artist-made
streetscape elements, would add a possible additional source of funding. Additional
avenues should be considered to augment the funding available for public art, such as a
per capita annual allocation or increase of the 1% to 1.5%.

5. Broaden community involvement and participation in a diverse range of cultural activities.
Activities and people
When asked to envision Edmonds ten years into the future, several Advisory Committee
members pictured, “a vibrant street life is supported with a nightlife component that
includes galleries, restaurants and live performances, encouraging people to be out in the
public realm. ’Street Nights’ open up the downtown for gathering and draw visitors from
outside of the city.” Those ideas and many others expressed during the course of
developing this plan update, illustrate that citizens clearly link quality of life and vibrancy
of the City to cultural events and activities. Culture stimulates places of beauty, meaning,
interest and connection.
It is also clear that public gathering spaces are an important part of shared public and
cultural life. Citizens voiced strong support for more outdoor, multi-use spaces for formal
and informal gatherings and simple participatory activities that add texture and fun to the
City’s cultural life such as drumming for all ages. These types of small spaces could also
be activated as rehearsal spaces for amateur and professional performing arts groups,
providing no-cost performances and a better understanding of the hard work and hours of
practice involved in any artistic achievement. Activities are the focus of this section, but
these activities are linked to recommendations stated in Goals 1, 2 and 3.
Small gathering nodes build a sense of community pride. Significant, multi-purpose
cultural facilities like the Frances Anderson Center and the new Edmonds Center for the
Arts also foster community connections. While art classes offered through Parks &
Recreation, ArtsNow, ArtWorks and galleries provide a core of activities, this section
focuses on a broader range of activities in which the ECA could play a pivotal future role.
The ECA’s capacity for hosting a wide range of activities makes it a vital hub that can
draw various segments of Edmonds’ population together. For example, under-utilized
spaces such as the gymnasium and Music Building could support ballroom dancing for
seniors as well as a Battle of the Bands for teens or small theater events. Creating
activities at the ECA that activate all the spaces, underscore the role of the ECA as a
Community Cultural Plan - 18 -
Packet Page 230 of 509
cornerstone of the City’s cultural infrastructure, and instill a sense of community pride in
the ECA’s creation and on-going stewardship.
Cultural activities for youth play an important role in the vibrancy of a city and the social
life of its teenage citizens. Many suggestions were made for additional programming
aimed at teens such as YouTube Shorts Festival or Japanese anime films and exhibitions.
Although these suggestions sound fun, they did not come from teenage participants in the
cultural planning process. One of the best ways to build new audiences is to provide the
resources and empowerment for ideas to come out of new communities.
Activities that celebrate the multi-cultural growth of Edmonds are important for building
inclusiveness and greater understanding and participation. The City should create
opportunities to invite participation by ethnic communities in the broader cultural
community of Edmonds.
5.1. Strengthen community-based support for the continuing success of the ECA
through intergenerational events. Use celebratory events and outreach to the entire
community to instill a greater understanding of the importance of the ECA and its
future success as a matter of community pride. (ECA/Public Facilities District,
City of Edmonds, Chamber of Commerce, Edmonds School District, Edmonds Arts
Festival Foundation)
5.2. Encourage pilot projects for film enthusiasts to help build new audiences: for
example, a Youth Film Festival produced by teens or a Travel Film Festival,
utilizing the talents and prestige of Edmonds’ travel businesses. (Edmonds-
Woodway High School, Edmonds Community College ArtsNow, businesses,
Edmonds Center for the Arts, City of Edmonds, Edmonds Chamber of Commerce,
National Endowment for the Arts)
5.3. Sponsor a street-festival or other event of temporary artworks and performances
along the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor to stimulate awareness of the project and to
illustrate its potential. (City of Edmonds, Edmonds-Woodway High School,
Edmonds Community College ArtsNow, Edmonds Chamber of Commerce,
Driftwood Players, Cascade Symphony, Olympic Ballet Theatre, ArtWorks,
Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation, and ECA/Public Facilities District)
5.4. Engage the Asian community to propose a city-wide celebratory event to highlight
an important aspect of Asian culture. Consider connections with the Highway 99
International District Enhancements Project where art elements are being used to
create a gateway component. Use this initial event to promote awareness of Asian
cultural traditions, begin to identify leaders in the Asian community to facilitate
involvement in planning initiatives and to foster an integration of many cultures
into the cultural community of Edmonds. (City of Edmonds, Sister City
Commission, Chamber of Commerce)
5.5 Consider types of programming and space needs to ensure that teens and seniors
are fully integrated into the community’s artistic life, sharing their interests and

APPENDIX A
Introduction and Historical Context of Edmonds Cultural Planning
The 2008 Cultural Plan Update builds upon the recommendations of the two
previous cultural plans of 1994 and 2001.
The Planning Process
Like the previous 2001 plan update, the 2008 update to the Community Cultural Plan was
coordinated with the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Comprehensive Plan (PROC) update
process. A 20-member Advisory Committee was formed comprising representatives from the
community involved in all aspects of cultural organizations and events, with special emphasis
placed on getting generative artists, arts business owners, and visual, performing and literary
arts representatives to the table. The Advisory Committee participated in three committee
meetings and attended public meetings. Cultural Plan recommendations were also collected
during two general public meetings. There were also several citizens active in the City’s
cultural community serving on the PROC Advisory Committee.
Cedar Dreams by Benson Shaw, 2000
Looking Back: Accomplishments 2001-2008
Edmonds’ cultural community has grown exponentially since the first Community Cultural
Plan was adopted in 1994, with significant accomplishments in the past seven years since the
2001 update was adopted. The 2001 updates focused on linking cultural initiatives to major
developments along the waterfront and in the downtown core. The first phase of those
improvements, the Waterfront Walkway is completed (with the exception of one small
section), linking waterfront parks and the marina and incorporating an impressive display of
integrated and signature public artworks. Sound Transit is working on plans to upgrade the
Amtrak platforms at the Edmonds Station to provide additional commuter rail services,
contributing to the civic art collection as well as new transportation options as part of this
facility construction. Edmonds Community College (EdCC) has rapidly expanded activities
in their Edmonds Conference Center facility in the downtown core (the former Floral Arts
Center) including the office for ArtsNow, a Workforce Development program with non-credit
courses nurturing the arts from creation to commerce. EdCC established an Arts and Civic
Community Cultural Plan - 21 -
Packet Page 233 of 509
Engagement initiative on campus and a companion initiative in the south Snohomish
community called pARTners – a consortium of municipalities, Edmonds School District, Sno-
Isle Libraries and arts organizations. EdCC hired a full-time drama instructor in 2004 and
constructed a black box theater in 2007. The Edmonds School District was named one of the
top 100 communities in the country for music education in 2007.
Two cultural facilities were established to support the visual and performing arts during this
time period. The Edmonds Public Facilities District was established by City Council in 2001
and purchased the old Edmonds High School in downtown Edmonds. A major renovation to
create the Edmonds Center for the Arts, an outstanding performing arts venue, was completed
in late 2006. ArtWorks, a joint project of the Edmonds Arts Festival Association and the
Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation, offers classes, classroom and exhibit space, and a
gathering place for visual artists. ArtWorks is housed in a renovated public works building
which the City also leases to Driftwood Players for their Rehearsal Annex. In addition, the
Edmonds Daybreakers Rotary donated funding and services to help construct a new pavilion
at City Park in 2006 which is used for the Summer Concerts in the Park.
In 2005 the City restructured its Cultural Services Division (a component of the Parks,
Recreation and Cultural Services Department), establishing a full-time Cultural Services
Manager position and expanding a part-time position to the full-time Cultural Services
Assistant position, to staff Edmonds Arts Commission projects such as the successful
Writers’ Conference. The City Council formed a Historic Preservation Commission in 2001,
broadening its support for culture to include arts, heritage and historic preservation. In 2006
the City adopted a revised Streetscape Plan which includes the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor
concept, the Highway 99 International District gateway concept, and an emphasis on creating
a more pedestrian friendly and aesthetic public realm through incorporating art elements and
improving way-finding signage.
The Summer Market, which the Historical Museum started in 1995, has grown and extended
its season, attracting thousands of visitors and residents for a unique community experience
that brings together fresh food, crafts and arts. The monthly Third Thursday ArtWalk has also
grown dramatically since the initial 1998 annual community event. The ArtWalk is
sponsored by downtown merchants and the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce and includes
about 30 participating businesses.
Looking Back: Threads of Continuity 1994-2008
Over the past 14 years, various themes and interests have carried forward in the Community
Cultural Plan and continue to be endorsed by citizens:
X Marketing plan and greater effort to promote Edmonds as a cultural destination with
arts as an integral part of the City identity;
X Effective shared outreach, promotions and marketing for events and venues with
linked website information;
Community Cultural Plan - 22 -
Packet Page 234 of 509
X Continuation of the waterfront shoreline development includes public art and
gathering nodes with support for the Port of Edmonds policy to include art in its
developments;
X City limits and connectivity of key corridors are emphasized through public art;
X Visual arts facility or art museum development;
X Affordable artist studio spaces and economic opportunities for artists within the City;
X Developing city-wide strategies and partnerships for better use of cultural facilities
and information sharing;
X Fostering strong partnerships and collaborations that result in effective leadership on
cultural initiatives, diverse programming and a variety of cultural facilities;
X Expanding teen/youth activities and programs;
X Committed City policy to incorporate art and aesthetics as standards within civic
planning initiatives and capital projects;
X Encouraging private support for art (1% in commercial developments);
X Developing a cultural corridor.

APPENDIX B
Cultural Organizations and Facilities – 2007
The City of Edmonds has fostered the arts from the early 1900’s beginning with the building
of the Library in 1909 and the Princess Theatre in 1929. Community interest in the arts and
volunteerism was a major contributing factor in the development of the Driftwood Players
and the Edmonds Arts Festival, both established in 1957. The original Cascade Symphony
was founded in 1962. Wade James Theatre was built in 1966, the Historical Society
organized in 1972, the Historical Museum opened in 1973, and the Olympic Ballet
established in 1981. The cultural interests of the individuals who make up the community,
both as artists and as patrons, are driving forces in the development of the rich cultural fabric
of this area.
The Edmonds Arts Commission was established by the City in 1975 “to promote the arts as
an integral part of community life”. The same year, the City Council passed an ordinance
establishing one percent of City capital construction budgets to be allocated for public art. In
establishing the Commission, the City acknowledged the importance of the arts and their
contributions to the unique personality of Edmonds.

City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Executive Summary
The City of Edmonds, the second largest
city in Snohomish County, is located 14
miles north of Seattle, only minutes from
Interstate 5, and is connected to the
Kitsap Peninsula by ferry. Edmonds is
known for its waterfront, flowers, art, and
historic downtown, all of which make
Edmonds a popular destination.
The Edmonds Parks, Recreation and
Cultural Services Department serves as
the community’s key resource for
providing parks, open space, recreation
programs, and cultural arts (the Park
System) for the enjoyment of Edmonds
citizens and visitors to the community.
The Department plays a vital role in many
aspects of community life, with staff
liaisons for the Edmonds Library Board,
the Edmonds Memorial Cemetery Board,
the City’s international Sister City
Commission programs, the Planning/
Parks Board and the Edmonds Arts
Commission.
The Mission of the Department is: “To
provide Edmonds’ citizens with a
balanced system of parks, recreation,
open space and cultural services
along with their support facilities to
ensure quality of life.”
BENEFITS OF THE PARKS
SYSTEM: ECONOMIC AND
HEALTH
Unlike many towns and cities that are
striving to create more attractive
environments and a sense of place,
Edmonds is a community that already has
a strong and positive identity. Integral to
what makes Edmonds both a memorable
and economically viable community is the
Parks System.
Edmonds continues to build on existing
assets in the Parks System which create
a strong sense of place: an inviting
pedestrian environment in the downtown;
pedestrian and vehicular connections
between parts of town and parks;
walkability; a mixed use environment
where people can live, work, shop and
recreate; and a unique character reflected
in streetscape, beautification and
gathering spaces, public art and parks.
Economic development strategies around
the country utilize these same assets to
build stronger communities.
In Edmonds the economic benefits of the
Parks System elements include attracting
tourism: the highlighting of cultural
elements in the downtown shopping core,
the accessibility and pedestrian friendly
design of the waterfront parks and public
art, and the development of cultural
facilities combine to attract visitors. The
walkability and mixed use nature of the
community attracts retirees and other
residents. When people want to live in a
place it is attractive for businesses to
locate there. Well kept parks and
beautification programs attract visitors
and contribute to real estate values,
diverse recreation programs draw
participants from the region who are
introduced to the community, and cultural
tourism draws from an even broader
region as visitors come for festivals and
arts events.
Healthy lifestyle benefits are another
contribution of our Parks System. There
is growing recognition that encouraging
healthy lifestyles helps prevent illness that
must be treated through the expensive
medical system. Edmonds encourages
well-being and vitality through
involvement in park, recreation and
cultural services programs. The
emphasis on connections and walkability
in this plan focuses on recreational
walking as a primary physical activity in
the community, providing parks with
Executive Summary
Packet Page 272 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
diverse activities and a variety of
recreational programming encourages
mental, physical and social activity in
people of all ages, and education about
our natural environment and healthy
practices, such as no smoking in the
parks, all help promote healthy lifestyles
for our residents and visitors.
THE 2008 UPDATE
The 2008 update to the Parks, Recreation
and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
builds upon work completed through the
previous comprehensive planning
process.
The update incorporates input from an
Advisory Group comprised of community
members and city staff. The community
members represented a wide range of
special interests and community groups.
The update also includes input from two
public workshops and reviews at the
Planning/Parks Board. Additional
comments and priorities were received
through a web survey and a telephone
survey of Edmonds households.
THE VISION
Edmonds is a city that values community,
sense of place, a vibrant downtown and
the waterfront. Throughout the process
three overarching concepts emerged on a
consistent basis. These concepts drove
the direction of the plan update process
and will drive the future of the Edmonds’
Park System. The three concepts are:
• Connectivity – Improving multi-modal
access to and within the Parks
System, including visual and physical
connections to the waterfront and
downtown.
• Diverse Activity – Improving the
system with different, new and
enhanced types of activities and
settings, such as an aquatics center.
• Visibility – Improving the accessibility
of the system through stronger
information systems and marketing.
See the table on the following page.
MOVING FORWARD
From the vision, general priorities for the
Edmonds’ park system were developed.
In addition, City Council has expressed
strong interest in pursuing the possibility
of an aquatic center and in the acquisition
and development of properties for public
purposes in the Downtown Waterfront
Activity Center.

City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Introduction
This Plan discusses the findings and
recommendations to provide parks, open
spaces, recreation and cultural services in
Edmonds, referred to collectively in the
document as the “Park System”. The Plan
in combination with the Community
Cultural Plan Update provides policies for
developing the Park System and
suggests methods of financing
improvements and services.
The Plan identifies and evaluates the
existing park system, assesses the need
for Park System facilities and programs,
and recommends an approach to fund
improvements, including operations and
maintenance.
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The purpose of this Plan is to identify the
needs for the Park System in Edmonds
and to establish policies and implement
strategies to meet those needs. This Plan
is an update of the city’s 2001 Plan and is
consistent with the Growth Management
Comprehensive Plan Guidelines. This
revision provides an update to the Plan to
coordinate with the City’s Comprehensive
Plan and Capital Improvement Program
(CIP).
This Plan is also needed to qualify for
state and federal grants. The Recreation
and Conservation Funding Board (RCFB)
administers most state and federal
recreation oriented grant programs
through the Recreation Conservation
Office (RCO). In order to qualify for these
grants, Edmonds must maintain an
updated Parks, Recreation and Open
Space Comprehensive Plan.
PLAN ORGANIZATION
The Plan is organized into an executive
summary, seven chapters, and four
appendices of technical information.
Summary of Contents
Chapter 1 – Introduction: A statement
regarding the purpose of the Plan, an
overview of the Plan organization, a
summary of public involvement in the
planning process, and a list of relevant
planning documents.
Chapter 2 – Community Profile: A
description of the planning area
boundaries, the natural features,
demographic characteristics, land use
and cultural resources of Edmonds.
Chapter 3 – Facilities and Programs
Inventory: A general description and
inventory of existing parks, recreation,
open space and cultural facilities and
programs available in Edmonds.
Chapter 4 – Community Needs
Assessment: A summary of existing
conditions found in Edmonds today and
what the community would like to see for
the future of the Edmonds park system.
Includes a summary of survey findings,
public meetings, advisory group
meetings, and recommended level of
service standards.

park name, park type, size, location, list of
elements, and a location map.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
In order to reflect the views of the
community and build support for the Plan,
public participation was an important part
of the planning process. It included:
Creation of a Parks Comprehensive
Plan Advisory Group – The Advisory
Group met throughout the planning
process to test ideas and provide
detailed feedback on the Plan. The
committee included representatives
from the Edmonds Arts Commission,
Edmonds School District, Port of
Edmonds, Adult Sports, Edmonds
Library, Edmonds Planning/Parks
Board, Cemetery Board, Youth
Sports, South County Senior Center,
Recreation Services, Cultural
Services, Edmonds Bicycle Group,
and citizens at large.
Web Survey – Advertised heavily and
distributed through the internet, the
web survey sought to evaluate
general public perception of the Park
System.
Telephone Survey – Members of
randomly selected Edmonds
households were asked to complete a
detailed questionnaire about general
recreation facilities and services,
specific proposed elements and
possible funding opportunities.
Public Meetings – A public workshop
and an open house were advertised
and hosted by the Advisory Group
and the Parks, Recreation, and
Cultural Services Department. The
purpose of the meetings was to invite
citizens to participate in developing a
plan for the future of the Edmonds
Park System.
INTEGRATION WITH OTHER
PLANNING DOCUMENTS
The planning documents and studies that
influence park, recreation, open space
and cultural facilities and services within
the city were reviewed for policies,
guidelines and information relevant to the
Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Comprehensive Plan. These documents

Community Profile
The City of Edmonds is located in south
Snohomish County. It is part of a highly
developed region that includes north King
County and south Snohomish County.
Cities adjacent to Edmonds include
Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, Woodway
and Shoreline. The community's location
on the west-facing slopes of Puget Sound
provides extensive access to beaches
and waterfront parks.
State Routes 104, 524 and 99 provide
links to neighboring cities, Interstate 5
and the Edmonds-Kingston Ferry. The
Edmonds-Kingston Ferry connects south
Snohomish County and north King
County with the northern Kitsap Peninsula
and points west on the Olympic
Peninsula. Community Transit provides
bus service with regular bus routes and
peak period commuter routes. Metro
transit provides direct services to the
University of Washington and downtown
Seattle.
BNSF Railroad tracks run along the
Sound and support freight, AMTRAK
passenger and Sound Transit rail service.
With frequent train travel, the railroad is a
significant element in the character of the
shoreline and an impediment to
movement between downtown Edmonds
and the Sound. The potential relocation of
the ferry terminal also plays a significant
role in the future of Edmonds’ waterfront,
including Marina Beach Park.
PLANNING AREA
The planning area includes the 8.9
square miles within the Edmonds city
limits and 1.2 square miles of
unincorporated neighborhoods within the
overall limits of the city’s boundary. The
boundaries of the planning area are
formed by Puget Sound on the west,
Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace city
limits on the east, Woodway city limits
and King-Snohomish County line on the
south and Meadowdale Beach Park
(Lund’s Gulch) on the north.
Edmonds has over five miles of saltwater
shoreline, fully developed. Of these five
miles, less than one mile is available for
public use.
The City is primarily a residential
community that provides many amenities
for residents and visitors. An active arts
and cultural community contributes to the
strong sense of civic pride widely shared
in the community. There are numerous
Community Profile Page 2-1
Packet Page 283 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
well-kept residential neighborhoods, a
viable economic base and an active,
involved citizenry.
The Edmonds-Kingston Ferry has had a
major impact in Edmonds since the
terminal was built in 1923. During
summer months thousands of visitors and
tourists drive to Edmonds to take the ferry
to Kingston and other parts of Kitsap
County. At busy times, traffic is backed up
for more than a mile on SR 104.
A feasibility study, The Edmonds
Crossing, examined alternative locations
for the ferry terminal. Relocating the
terminal site to Point Edwards would help
resolve existing traffic conflicts and
congestion while providing increased
terminal capacity. A future multimodal
facility is expected to incorporate
terminals for rail and bus service, park
and ride lots and pedestrian access, with
a new ferry terminal. The proposed site is
about one mile south of the existing ferry
terminal.
NATURAL FEATURES
Topography/ Terrain
Edmonds has two distinct topographic
districts. The western two-thirds is a
gentle to steeply sloping hillside known
locally as “the bowl”. This area overlooks
the Sound and affords spectacular views
of the water and the Olympic Mountains.
The hillside is braided with ravines and
streams, some extending a mile inland.
The remaining one-third of Edmonds is
flat to gently rolling plateau.
As Edmonds has urbanized, the natural
vegetation has become increasingly
scarce. The city’s woodlands, marshes
and other areas containing natural
vegetation provide an important resource,
which should be preserved.
Many of the remaining undeveloped
areas of the city are located on hillsides
or in ravines where steep slopes have
discouraged, but not stopped,
development. These are frequently areas
where natural drainage ways exist and
where the second growth forest is still
undisturbed. In some areas, soil
conditions exist that severely limit urban
development.
Rivers, Streams, Wetlands and
Drainageways
The land area of Edmonds drains directly
to Puget Sound via pipes and open
streams and is part of the Cedar River
Drainage Basin Water Resource
Inventory Area (WRIA 8). Open water
bodies include Northstream, Shell Creek,
Hindley Creek, Good Hope Pond, Willow
Creek, Shellabarger Creek and Edmonds
Marsh. The marsh is fed from
Shellabarger and Willow Creeks and
connects to the Sound through a 1300-
foot long pipe that parallels the railroad
track south of the Edmonds Marina. It is a
designated wildlife sanctuary.
Edmonds beaches, breakwaters and
pilings represent unique habitats for
marine organisms. Streams, lakes and
saltwater areas offer habitats for many
species of migrating and resident bird life.
Undeveloped wooded areas and parks
provide habitats for birds and mammals.
Many species utilize both upland and
beach areas.
The Puget Sound waterfront is one of the
most scenic areas of the city and
establishes the visual identity of
Edmonds.
Climate
The climate in Edmonds is heavily
influenced by its location on Puget Sound.
The abundance of moist marine air keeps
the temperature mild all year. Average
summer temperatures are in the low 60’s.
Winter temperatures are generally in the
upper 30’s. Winds are often strong and
are typically from the southwest in winter
and from the northwest in summer.

DEMOGRAPHIC
CHARACTERISTICS
Current census data had not yet been
released at the time of this Plan update.
Demographics are therefore still based on
2000 census information.
Age
Snohomish
County
City of
Edmonds
Under 19 30% 22.8%
20-44 38.8% 32.3%
45-64 22% 28.3%
Over 65 9.1% 16.6%
Median Age 34.7 42
Young families in Edmonds have
increased substantially from 1990.Youth
population has risen from 20% to 22.8%
in 2000. Edmonds has a growing number
of 20-44 age citizens. This reflects the
increase of young couples with children
and an average median age of 42 years.
The elderly population (over 65) has
remained constant between 1990 and
2000 at 16%. 87.7% of the community is
Caucasian, 5.6% are Asian, 3.3% are
Hispanic or Latino and 1.3% are black or
African American. 68.1% of the homes
are owner-occupied units with 31.9%
renter occupied.
Ethnicity
Ethnicity is important from a recreation
participation standpoint. Some ethnic
groups have a higher participation level in
specific types of recreational activities,
which would increase the demand for
certain types of facilities.
The population is predominantly
Caucasian, yet Edmonds is becoming
more diverse each year. According to the
2000 census Edmonds is still less diverse
than the State as a whole, where 18.2%
of the population is an ethnicity other than
Caucasian.
Income
Income levels are used to reveal
important demographic characteristics. In
general, the higher income groups tend to
be more active and participate in more
expensive types of activities.
Edmonds is an upper-middle income
residential community. According to 2001
estimates provided by Puget Sound
Regional Council based on traffic analysis
zones (TAZ), 31% of Edmonds
households are classified as upper
income. Upper-middle income
households make up 26.2% of the total,
24.3% are in the low-middle range and
18.5% are in the low-income range.
Due to the absence of a large industrial
and commercial base, the city is heavily
dependent on property taxes as the main
funding mechanism to provide services
for residents. Property taxes comprise
40% of the city’s General Fund
Revenues.
LAND USE
Land use plays an important role in the
location, distribution and availability of
park, open space, recreation and cultural
facilities.
According to the Comprehensive Plan
adopted in 2006, the total land area of the
City of Edmonds encompasses 8.9
square miles (5,700 acres). In 2006,
approximately 96% of the city was
developed.
Commercial activity is concentrated in two
major areas – the downtown/waterfront
and the Highway 99 corridor. Other vital
commercial areas include Westgate,
Perrinville, 5 Corners and Firdale Village.
Housing
The city is primarily residential with
single-family and multi-family residential
units comprising approximately 59.6% of
the total land in the city. In 2007, the
median home value was $435,000.
Community Profile Page 2-3
Packet Page 285 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
Vacant Land
Approximately 240 acres within the
Edmonds city limits are undeveloped. Of
this, approximately 170 acres are zoned
for single-family residential development.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
Edmonds has a strong and long-lived
reputation as a cultural community. In
1975 the Edmonds Arts Commission was
established “to promote the arts as an
integral part of community life.”
Edmonds is home to the Edmonds Center
for the Arts, a regional symphony, a ballet
company, an artist’s cooperative, theater
groups, a major arts festival, an historical
museum, a sculptor’s workshop,
Edmonds Community College ArtsNow
program, writer’s groups, galleries, a
significant public art collection and
ArtWorks a space for artists. The beautiful
natural environment of Edmonds has
attracted many artists and writers to this
area.
Since the first Community Cultural Plan
was adopted in 1995 and subsequent
updates in 2001 and 2008, the City of
Edmonds has become even stronger in
fostering its cultural resources.
POPULATION FORECAST
The population of Edmonds was 40,560
in April 2007. The rate of growth has been
relatively stable at about 1% per year with
major increases occurring primarily as a
result of annexations in the 1960s, 1970s
and 1990s. Based on forecasted
continued growth at 1% per year, the
population in 2012 is projected to be
42,629.
The moderate rate of growth reflects
Edmonds’ status as a mature community
with a small supply of vacant,
developable land.

This chapter includes an inventory of
resources located within Edmonds. It
addresses:
Parks and Open Space
Recreation Facilities and Programs
Cultural Services Facilities and Programs
Operations and Maintenance
Administration
The Existing Conditions Map found in this
plan illustrates the parks, recreation, open
space and cultural resources available
today.
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
The most effective and efficient Park
System to manage is one made up of
different types of parks, each designed to
provide a specific type of recreation
experience or opportunity. When
classified and used properly they are
easier to maintain, create less conflicts
between user groups, and have less
impact on adjoining neighbors.
In order to assess the Park System in
Edmonds and to address specific park
system needs, the parks have been
classified as follows.
Neighborhood Parks
Community Parks
Regional Parks
Special Use Areas
Open Space
Gateways/Entrances
Connections
Beautification Areas
Today, almost 450 acres of parkland are
available to residents and visitors. They
include parks and open space owned by
the City of Edmonds as well as parks and
open space owned and managed by
Snohomish County, Edmonds School
District, and other public agencies.
A detailed description of each park and
open space site is contained in Appendix
C. Summary tables of existing facilities is
shown on pages 3-17 and 3-18 at the end
of this chapter.
Properties Owned/Managed by
Edmonds Parks, Recreation and
Cultural Services Department
NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
Neighborhood parks are designed for
both informal and formal recreation
activities. They are generally small in size
(one to five acres) and serve an area of
approximately a one-half mile radius, or
within a typical walking distance.
Typically, facilities found in a
neighborhood park include a children's
playground, picnic areas, trails, open
grass areas for passive use, outdoor
basketball courts and multi-use sport
fields for soccer, and youth baseball.
Facilities, and Programs Inventory Page 3-1
Packet Page 288 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
COMMUNITY PARKS
Community parks are designed to provide
specialized facilities to serve the entire
community. Their service area is roughly
a 2-mile to 5-mile radius. The optimum
size is between 20 acres and 50 acres.
Community parks typically have sports
fields, open space or similar dedicated
uses as the central focus of the park.
Because community parks are designed
to accommodate large numbers of
people, they often require support
facilities such as parking and restrooms.
REGIONAL PARKS
Regional parks are recreational areas
serving the city and beyond. They are
usually large in size and often include one
specific use or feature that makes them
special. Typically, they feature unique
types of recreational activities, such as
swimming, camping, hiking, fishing,
boating, picnicking and golfing. Regional
parks within urban areas sometimes offer
a wider range of facilities and activities.
These parks may also include special
facilities such as waterfront features,
stadiums, cemeteries, zoos, concert halls,
and aquariums.
SPECIAL USE AREAS
Special Use Areas are public recreation
facilities used for a special purpose such
as cultural activities, educational
activities, gathering places and other
specialized recreation. They include, for
example, Centennial Plaza, the Historic
Museum and the SR104 Mini Park.
OPEN SPACE
Open space is undeveloped land left
primarily in its natural state with
recreation uses as a secondary objective.
It is usually owned or managed by a
governmental agency and may or may
not have public access. This type of land
often includes wetlands, steep hillsides,
or other similar areas. In some cases,
environmentally sensitive areas are
considered as open space and can
include wildlife habitats, stream and creek
corridors.
GATEWAYS / ENTRANCES
These are landscaped areas with signage
marking both perceived entry “nodes” and
actual political boundaries of the
community. Edmonds currently has three
developed gateways and additional
locations and design parameters are
outlined in the City of Edmonds
Streetscape Plan.
One small gateway is located on
Edmonds Way at Westgate. Another
more prominent gateway at the entrance
to downtown Edmonds is on property
owned by the Washington Department of
Transportation at SR 104 and Fifth
Avenue South (.20 acres). Brackett’s
Landing is a regional park and the sign at
Main and Sunset serves as the western
waterway entrance and gateway into
Edmonds. The City of Edmonds
Streetscape Plan suggests additional
gateway / entrance intersections that
could be enhanced.

City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
CONNECTIONS
Connections include pedestrian, bicycle
routes and visual connections through
identification markers, scenic corridors,
overlooks, beautification areas and linear
parks. Pedestrian and bike routes can be
a shared roadway without bike lanes,
marked bicycle lanes or a shared use,
non-motorized path. Connections should
be designated with signage and on park
maps.
Linear parks are part of an overall non-
motorized transportation system that
provides connectivity throughout the
community. They are developed
landscaped areas and other lands that
follow linear corridors. This type of park
often contains trails, walkways,
landscaped areas, viewpoints and seating
areas. Linear parks contribute to the
City’s ability to preserve and protect
natural areas, ecological features and
cultural assets including historic and
public art features.
BEAUTIFICATION AREAS
Beautification areas include landscaped
features located along street right-of-
ways, intersections, and medians. One
hundred fifty hanging flower baskets are
also included in beautification areas. They
are as much a part of Edmonds’ identity
as its location overlooking Puget Sound
and its reputation as a cultural
community. The importance of
beautification areas, their contribution to
creating a pedestrian friendly community,
and the potential for integration of public
art elements is also addressed in the
Streetscape Plan and in the Community
Cultural Plan. The following table 3.1 lists
the beautification area inventory.

Resources
Snohomish County is also a provider of
open space area and trails. The County
owns and manages parks within the
Edmonds planning area. The parks
include Esperance County Park,
Meadowdale Beach Park, Southwest
County Park, and Chase Lake
Environmental Education Site.
Both Meadowdale Beach Park and
Southwest County Park are intended for
passive recreation and, therefore, are
relatively undeveloped and included as
open space in the overall inventory.
Esperance County Park is considered a
neighborhood park and the Chase Lake
Environmental Education Site is
considered a Special Use area.

School Recreation Lands
EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT
Edmonds School District currently serves
22,089 (2007-08) students from an area
of 36 square miles that includes four
cities, one town, and unincorporated
areas in southwest Snohomish County.
The district offers sport fields, playground
areas, outdoor basketball courts, and
gymnasium space. Public access is
limited to times when school is not in
session and when there are no competing
demands from school related activities.
The Edmonds School District, Edmonds
Community College, the City of Edmonds,
and other cities in the southwest county
area have formed a coordinating focus
team that meets regularly to discuss
scheduling, partnership projects, and
capital improvement projects. The result
has been more efficient use of public
facilities, receipt of matching grants for
capital improvements and improved
working relationships with site staff.
The City has developed neighborhood or
community park elements in partnership
with Edmonds Elementary, Madrona K-8,
Sherwood Elementary, Edmonds
Woodway High School and the Former
Woodway High School. A Conceptual
plan has been developed by the School
District for a regional athletic facility at the
Former Woodway High School site and a
committee of District, City and community
organizations is exploring funding
strategies.
COLLEGES
Edmonds Community College owns and
operates the Edmonds Conference
Center in downtown Edmonds. The
structure, built by a private investor and
donated to the college for public benefit,
provides space for arts events,
community gatherings and private rentals.
Edmonds Community College offers a
wide range of indoor and outdoor
recreation facilities. These include
basketball/volleyball courts, fitness area
and baseball fields. In general, the
College’s facilities are well designed and
have been developed to a very high level,
but are not easily accessible to the
general public.
Central Washington University has a
satellite campus at Edmonds Community
College. It utilizes the recreational
resources owned and managed by other
public entities.
Other Public Recreation Resources
Other public recreation resources include
parks or facilities owned by a public
agency other than those already
mentioned.
PORT OF EDMONDS
The Port of Edmonds has an extensive
marina that provides dry and in-water
boat moorage, and public sling boat
launching for motorized boats. An
additional restroom facility is planned for
2009. A public walkway along the marina
connects Olympic Beach and Marina
Beach. The Port has an interactive
weather station and developed a popular
pedestrian plaza at the waterfront. Each
year on the first weekend in June, the
Port is the site of the Waterfront Festival.
The Port and City have partnered on
several joint ventures including the Public
Fishing Pier, Marsh boardwalk and sign
program, Marina Beach Parking, and
Olympic Beach Parking.

WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES (WSF)
The Edmonds-Kingston Ferry terminal is
one of the major ports for the Washington
State Ferry system. In addition to
transporting commuters and commercial
traffic, WSF provides access to recreation
resources on the Kitsap and Olympic
Peninsulas for tourists and other visitors.
The route began in 1923 with an
automobile ferry named “The City of
Edmonds.”
The potential relocation of the ferry
terminal plays a significant role in the
future of Edmonds’ waterfront.
EDMONDS PUBLIC FACILITIES DISTRICT
The Edmonds Public Facilities District
Center for the Arts includes a large
gymnasium that is a rental facility for
recreation activities.
MUNICIPAL RECREATION RESOURCES
Parks or facilities owned by a neighboring
municipality, and known to be used by
Edmonds residents are listed in the table

Private schools and churches offer limited
recreation facilities. Most often these
include gymnasium space, playgrounds,
outdoor basketball courts and sometimes
ball fields. Typically, the facilities of
private schools and churches are
available only to their patrons, members
or students.
RECREATION FACILITIES AND
PROGRAMS
Within the Edmonds planning area there
are many sport fields and other recreation
facilities. They are managed by the City of
Edmonds, the Edmonds School District,
private schools, and commercial/private
clubs. See Parks Inventory Worksheet for
a complete inventory.
Yost Pool
Yost Pool was built in 1972. The facility is
a handicap accessible seasonal pool with
a holding capacity of 250,000 gallons of
water. The 25 meter x 25 yard pool is L-
shaped and has a spa that can
accommodate 10 people. The capacity of
the City for aquatic programming is
limited due to the lack of indoor facilities.
Yost Pool is currently open three
months/year, Memorial Day through
Labor Day. A feasibility study for
expanding, covering or replacing the pool
is scheduled to begin in 2008. Any further
consideration of pool resources in
Edmonds is deferred until that study is
complete.
Frances Anderson Center
The Frances Anderson Center is the
“home” of the majority of Edmonds Parks,
Recreation & Cultural Services
programming. The Center has classroom
space, a drop-in weight room, a
gymnasium (77’ x 53’), and dedicated
gymnastics space.
FRANCES ANDERSON CENTER TENANTS

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
Environmental education is a learning
process that increases knowledge and
awareness about the environment.
Environmental education enables
individuals to weigh various sides of an
environmental issue and make
responsible decisions about human
impacts to the environment.
Edmonds Discovery Programs began in
the 1980’s as the Beach Ranger
Program. The mission is “to provide
interpretive and environmental education
opportunities for the citizens of Edmonds,
our school-age children, and visitors to
our parks and beaches; and to promote
stewardship of Puget Sound, its
shorelines, and the surrounding
watershed.”
Various environmental education
activities and programs are offered to
schools, scout groups, community
organizations and the general public
through the Discovery Programs Office.
Programs include Ranger-Naturalist visits
Facilities, and Programs Inventory Page 3-7

to classrooms and low-tide beach walks,
Discover the Forest at Yost Park, Earth
Day programs, beach cleanups, seasonal
nature day camps, and special events
such as the Watershed Fun Fair and
Puget Sound Bird Fest.
Edmonds Discovery Programs are staffed
by an environmental education
coordinator, one interpretive specialist,
and four to six seasonal ranger-
naturalists.
The Olympic Beach Ranger Station
serves more than 100 visitors a day
during summer weekends. It is staffed by
trained volunteers, and supervised by
Ranger-Naturalists who also patrol the
beaches daily during the summer.
GENERAL RECREATION

Annual Budget 2007
The total 2007 actual general fund budget
for Parks, Recreation, and Cultural
Services Department was $2,980,656. It
accounts for approximately 10% of the
City of Edmonds’ total General Fund
budget.
One cost measure of providing services is
to base it on a per capita basis. Using a
City population of 40,460, the net gross
cost per capita is $46.49 which includes
all city provided parks, recreation and
cultural arts services. This amount is
below average for similar communities in
the Seattle region which reflects positively
for the operations of the department. The
net cost per capita is the total cost after
revenue from fees and charges are
deducted.
Of interest is the revenue rate the City
produces from its recreation program
services. For recreation programs the rate
is 91.3% which is higher than most area
cities.
Table 3.5 illustrates the cost per capita for
the department as a whole, and for parks
and recreation, less maintenance and
cemetery operations (the cemetery is
operated as an Enterprise Fund). It also
shows the rate of return from fees and
charges.

Community Needs Assessment
Packet Page 306 of 509
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Community Needs Assessment
One of the most important elements of
the Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Comprehensive Plan is the assessment
of need within the parks system.
Quantifying these needs is difficult
because many different variables
influence recreation needs. Personal
values, participation patterns and
willingness to pay for services and
facilities vary widely from city to city.
Consequently, what seems right for one
community may not be appropriate for
another. One of the problems associated
with determining the needs is that
overstating the demand can result in the
development of underutilized facilities.
Conversely, under-estimating the needs
can result in overused facilities and a lack
of available park systems.
This chapter discusses the need for Park
System facilities, programs and services
in the Edmonds Planning Area. This
encompasses the area within the current
city limits as well as the land within the
City’s Urban Growth Area.
The process to identify needs was to:
Evaluate the existing park system
Conduct a random household
telephone survey and web survey of
Edmonds households
Host two public meetings, Advisory
Group meetings and public hearings
with the Planning / Parks Board and
Edmonds City Council
Identify current park and facility needs
Forecast future need based on the
demand standard
The needs assessment covers the
following areas:
Parks and Open Space
Recreation Facilities and Programs
Cultural Services, Facilities and
Programs
Community Needs Assessment Page 4-1
Packet Page 307 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE NEED
Specific needs for each type of park are
discussed on the following pages. The
categories of parks include:
Neighborhood Parks
Community Parks
Regional Parks
Special Use Areas
Natural Open Spaces
Gateways/Entrances
Connections
Beautification
Methodology of Assessing Park
Needs in Edmonds
Developing a statement of need for parks
and open space is dependent on local
values, availability of land, financial
resources, and desired service levels. In
this plan we are considering only public
land or quasi-public land used primarily
for recreation or open space use in our
needs analysis.
Traditionally, need or level of service
standards were given as the "existing
ratio" or "recommended standard". The
existing ratio is the existing amount of
parks divided by the existing population
within the planning area. It is expressed in
terms of acres per 1,000 population.
These standards are shown in relation to
general national and state standards for
comparison only, but each community is
unique so those general standards need
to be weighed against individual
community values and perceptions. The
recommended standard, therefore, is
derived through the public process and
tested against the factors previously
discussed, such as availability and
financing. It is then expressed in terms of
acres per 1,000 population.
Existing and Forecasted Population
The ratio of parks and open space
facilities is based on a comparison with
the existing population base. By
developing a desired level of service
(recommended standard) and applying it
to a future population forecast, one can
determine future needs. To determine the
existing ratio, the population within the
planning area was used. To determine
population growth projections, figures
were extrapolated from the 2000 Census
and Snohomish County population data.
The target year is 2025. For this plan, we
will use the existing and future population
forecasts identified below.
Table 4.1
Population Forecast
Edmonds Planning Area
Year Edmonds Planning Area*
2007 44,279
2012 46,537
2025 52,963
*The Edmonds Planning Area includes Edmonds and
designated Urban Growth Area (UGA). Projections based
on 1%/year average annual growth.
Neighborhood Parks
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Most neighborhood parks are well
developed and offer a variety of facilities.
Often, joint partnerships with Edmonds
School District have resulted in
neighborhood park uses available on
school property during non-school hours.
Ideally, neighborhood parks would be
available at all times of the day.
Neighborhood Park Service Area
The service area for a neighborhood park
in Edmonds is considered to be a half-
mile radius. The service area is also
shaped by man-made or natural barriers
such as highways, ravines, and
waterfront. Assuming this service area,
many neighborhoods in the Edmonds
Page 4-2 Community Needs Assessment
Packet Page 308 of 509
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Planning Area are being served by this
type of park if the joint use school sites
are also considered. In most areas, there
is little, if any available land for future park
development.
Maintenance Impacts of Neighborhood Parks
Neighborhood parks are not as efficient to
maintain and operate as larger
community parks. However,
neighborhood parks are important in
providing convenient access to residents.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS REGARDING
NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
Survey Results
Increased joint use of school and
private sites to serve as neighborhood
sites was a high priority.
Public Process Results
The community supported greater
neighborhood park diversity, which
refers to the types of activities and
facilities provided.
There was general agreement that the
existing quantity of neighborhood
parks is adequate, although a few
new park areas were identified in
general terms.
More gathering places and small
plazas were identified as a unique
need in downtown Edmonds.
Trends
Most communities in the Northwest
have developed a park system
centered on the neighborhood park.
This balances the issue of
convenience with the cost of
operation and maintenance.
Communities are interested in unique
new activities in their neighborhood
parks.
Residents of all ages are increasingly
involved in the entire spectrum of
activities within the parks system.
Communities are increasingly
interested in policies and practices
that promote long term sustainability
and protect natural resources and
open spaces.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
2007 LOS = .58 acres/1,000 population
2025 LOS = .71 acres/1,000 population
It is recommended the City develop
neighborhood park facilities within walking
distance of most residences (one-half
mile radius service area.)
Based on the need analysis,
approximately 6 additional neighborhood
park sites are needed to serve all
residential areas within the Edmonds
planning area. New parks are planned for
two identified sites at Old Woodway
Elementary and 162nd Street.
This may be accomplished through the
addition of neighborhood park elements
at existing park or school sites or new
acquisition of park sites. At an average
size of 2 acres each, this is equivalent to
12 additional acres.
Community Parks
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing community parks are fairly
well developed and contain facilities such
as group picnicking, sports fields,
skateboard park, concert sites, and
parking. Some sites are entirely owned by
Edmonds while others have been
developed, owned, or managed jointly
with other jurisdictions.
Community Park Service Area
The service area for a community park is
normally considered to be a two-mile to
five-mile radius. Assuming this service
area, some parts of Edmonds are not
currently served by this type of park. It
should be noted there are very few, if any,
Community Needs Assessment Page 4-3
Packet Page 309 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
opportunities to acquire and/or develop
parks of this size due to the level of
development in the City.
Maintenance Impacts of Community Parks
On an acre per acre basis, community
parks can be the most efficient type of
park to maintain.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS REGARDING
COMMUNITY PARKS
Survey Results
Developing a new community park
was one of the top priorities.
Improving existing sports fields was a
higher priority than providing
additional new fields.
Public Process Results
The community supported improved
connectivity and multi-modal access
to community parks.
In community parks with natural open
spaces, maintenance and
preservation was desired.
More developed community parks
were supported to feature new
activities and diverse uses.
Athletic facilities should be improved
to allow for expanded use, such as
synthetic surfaces, improved drainage
and/or lights.
Trends
As land becomes scarce, housing
more dense and neighborhood parks
become smaller, many communities
rely on the city’s parks to serve
multiple functions. These include
organized, active recreation (i.e. ball
fields, soccer), passive neighborhood
functions and natural open space.
Snohomish County has made a policy
decision to focus its resources on
community rather than neighborhood
parks due to the wide variety of
facilities community parks can
accommodate, and the lower cost per
acre to maintain.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
COMMUNITY PARKS
2007 LOS = 2.43 acres/1,000 population
2025 LOS = 2.03 acres/1,000 population
It is recommended the City provide
community park facilities within 2 to 5
miles for most residents. Based on the
need analysis one additional community
park is needed to serve the Edmonds
planning area. This may likely be
accomplished through a joint agreement
at the former Woodway High School site.
Regional Parks
Edmonds regional parks provide a variety
of benefits to the area’s residents and
visitors. Tidelands are undeveloped and
protected as Marine Sanctuaries.
Waterfront parks are fully developed and
provide public access to Puget Sound. All
of the sites are owned by Edmonds.
Edmonds Memorial Cemetery &
Columbarium is an example of this.
Regional Park Service Area
The regional park service area includes
greater southwest Snohomish County and
the northern communities of King County.
Maintenance Impacts of Regional Parks
Depending upon the facilities they
contain, regional parks can be expensive
to maintain. However, the cost of
maintenance is offset in Edmonds by the
contribution regional parks make to the
local economy and to Edmonds’ identity.
They may also attract attention from
special interest groups willing to volunteer
maintenance hours or dollars, such as at
the Underwater Park.

PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS REGARDING
REGIONAL PARKS
Survey Results
A new pool and regional trails were
the highest ranking priorities for
regional parks.
Public Process Results
The community supported the
establishment of a pedestrian route
connecting Edmonds’ regional
waterfront parks.
Any expansion of public waterfront
was favorable and many ideas were
offered for the site of the ferry terminal
if the terminal is relocated.
The South County Senior Center was
generally considered as a valuable
asset and expansion of its programs
was desirable.
Trends
Most communities do not have the
opportunity to develop new regional
parks and rely on the county or state
for these types of facilities.
Often, regional parks have become
open space parcels purchased
through conservation funds.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
REGIONAL PARKS
2007 LOS = .99 acres/1,000 population
2025 LOS = .96 acres/1,000 population
It is recommended for the city to provide
additional regional facilities where
possible, especially along the waterfront.
If the current off-leash area on the
waterfront is displaced a new regional off-
leash park should be considered,
potentially through a joint partnership with
adjacent jurisdictions. Potential for an
additional off-leash area located within
the City is limited by a lack of available
land.
The City of Edmonds should continue to
pursue opportunities to acquire waterfront
properties and to partner with private
owners for public access to the waterfront
and properties within the Waterfront
Activity Center. It is estimated
approximately 7 acres may be provided to
accomplish this goal.
Special Use Areas
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Special use areas in Edmonds include
indoor as well as outdoor facilities and are
owned by the City of Edmonds and
Snohomish County. They include facilities
such as the library, Frances Anderson
Center and Ballinger Lake access. In
general, they are well programmed and
used by the public. Some could be better
advertised and may be improved to serve
multiple functions.
Special Use Service Area
There is no defined service area for
special use areas. The service area
varies widely depending on the function it
serves and is often on a more regional
scale.
Maintenance Impacts of Special Use Areas
The level of maintenance varies
depending on the site’s function.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS REGARDING
SPECIAL USE AREAS
Survey Results
A new hand carry boat launch ranked
moderately on the priority list when
compared with other proposed
facilities.
Public Process Results
The community generally supported
the continued development of special
use areas, especially along the
waterfront and in the Downtown
Waterfront Activity Center.
Improved multi-modal connections
and better visibility and advertising of
these facilities were also supported.
Community Needs Assessment Page 4-5
Packet Page 311 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
An additional hand-carry boat launch
site along the waterfront was desired
to increase Edmonds’ visibility along
the Puget Sound water trail route.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
SPECIAL USE AREAS
2007 LOS = .55 acres/1,000 population
2025 LOS = .71 acres/1,000 population
It is recommended that additional special
use areas and facilities be developed
when feasible and as opportunity allows,
especially in downtown open spaces and
plazas. This may be done primarily
through developer agreements, design
standards, or other types of partnerships.
A new hand-carry boat launch site on
Puget Sound should be considered as
future funding and opportunity may allow.
4th Avenue Cultural Corridor, Interurban
Trail, bike routes and walkway loops may
account for an additional 13.3 acres.
Opportunities for additional special use
sites will likely be limited to part of a
larger development resulting in a small
amount of additional acreage.
Open Space
EXISTING CONDITIONS
In the Edmonds area, there are several
sites that fall under the open space area
category. This includes lands that are
owned or managed by the city and
Snohomish County.
Most of the sites are undeveloped or only
minimally developed. Development is
usually limited to parking areas,
trailheads, pathways, and trails.
Open Space Service Area
There is no defined service area for open
space. Service area is determined by its
intended purpose such as separation of
neighborhoods, preservation of
environmentally sensitive areas, and
steep hillsides.
Maintenance Impacts of Open Space
The maintenance of open space areas is
relatively low compared to other types of
recreational spaces except when invasive
species begin to take over otherwise
natural sites. Often volunteers can be
utilized for “Clean-up Day” events to help
offset maintenance costs associated with
invasive species removal and trail
improvements.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Survey Results
Protecting existing natural areas and
open space systems ranked very high
as a community priority.
Creek corridor designations,
trailheads and walking routes also
generated a lot of interest in the
survey.
Public Process Results
The maintenance and protection of
existing open spaces was supported
by the community.
Connecting and providing access to
enjoy these natural spaces (while
maintaining habitat integrity) was a
key point of interest.
A new open space corridor along
Willow Creek and expanding the
corridor along Shell Creek were
generally supported.
Additional open space “set asides”
were favored and a concern for the
community.
Trends
The preservation of open space has
become very important in most
communities.
More and more government resources
are becoming available through
various grant processes or land use
tools (easements, etc.) to support
conservation of natural resources.
Page 4-6 Community Needs Assessment
Packet Page 312 of 509
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Education about the value and
functions of natural open space is
increasing across many age groups.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
OPEN SPACES
2007 LOS = 6.89 acres/1,000 population
2025 LOS = 5.86 acres/1,000 population
It is recommended that the amount of
open space be increased to preserve
environmentally sensitive areas
(wetlands, stream corridors), steep
hillsides and maintain a sense of
openness in the community.
Due to the level of development within the
City, very little land is available for open
space acquisition. It is assumed that
approximately 5 acres of land could be
acquired or otherwise preserved through
land use (easements, etc.) as open space
including new corridors along Willow
Creek and Shell Creek.
Gateways / Entrances
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Currently, there are various
gateways/entrances in the Edmonds
area, the most prominent of which are on
SR 104 and at the ferry loading
intersection at Brackett’s Landing parks.
Gateways/Entrances are opportunities to
make an initial visual impression on
newcomers and visitors to Edmonds
either at the political boundary or key
intersections within the city. More detailed
discussion of gateways and entrances is
contained in the 2006 adopted
Streetscape Plan.
Maintenance Impacts
It is important that gateways/entrances
are maintained in attractive condition
since they furnish the initial image of the
City for visitors. These areas generally
require frequent maintenance.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Public Process Results
Visibility of the city from regional
transportation corridors was a
concern raised by the community.
An international gateway from the
east at Highway 99 is a developed
concept in the Streetscape Plan that
is supported by the community. The
City is currently working on an
enhancements project in this area
which includes signage.
Trends
Gateways/ Entrances have become a
high priority for communities to
establish a sense of place and convey
the community’s character.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
GATEWAYS/ENTRANCES
It is recommended that additional land be
acquired or right-of-way obtained for
gateway/entrance projects, likely in
coordination with transportation
improvements. In addition improved
signage, landscape and other elements
should be considered at gateway or
entrance areas as outlined in the
Streetscape Plan. The existing SR 104
sign should be updated to reflect its role
as a “Downtown Entrance” and new
signage should coordinate with the City
Way-finding Sign Program standards.
Connections
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Connections are created through
improved pedestrian and bicycle routes,
linear parks, and visual connections that
may include scenic corridors or
incorporation of public art. Two major
connections projects are in the planning
stages. Planning for the Interurban Trail,
a multi-use pathway, is nearing
completion. The 4th Avenue Cultural
Corridor is a pedestrian enhancement in
Community Needs Assessment Page 4-7
Packet Page 313 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
the downtown core that is currently in
early planning stages.
Bicycle and Walkway Plans are included
in the transportation element of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan. There are a
number of corridors and routes commonly
used, but not necessarily identified
throughout Edmonds. View corridors are
present, but currently not officially
identified.
Maintenance Impacts
The maintenance of most connections is
low compared to other types of
recreational facilities. Furthermore,
bicycle and pedestrian groups will often
volunteer as caretakers at trails and other
pathways.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Survey Results
Expanded bicycle, walking, multi-use
and waterfront walkways were among
the most highly rated items in the
surveys.
Multi-modal connections to all types of
parks facilities generated a lot of
interest.
Public Process Results
Some participants felt that street ends
that are adjacent to the waterfront
should be marked on trail plans as
viewpoints. Some thought they should
have stairways to water’s edge and be
incorporated into the trails plan.
Crossing the tracks at any of these
street ends is illegal and extremely
dangerous.
Generally, participants wanted better
connections within the existing trail
systems, and expansions to meet up
with other systems and popular
locations.
The community supported view
corridor preservation at the southern
entrance to the city via SR 104 and of
scenic corridors in general, which
provide visibility to the city’s natural
assets.
A lot of discussion centered on ideas
for better connections between the
downtown and waterfront areas. Ideas
ranged from a pedestrian/bicycle
overpass to more pedestrian scale
improvements at grade such as
lighting, paving and public art.
Trends
In the Northwest, interest in trail
related activities (walking, hiking,
bicycling, rollerblading and jogging),
has shown a remarkable increase in
the last 5 years. Locally, trail related
activities and recreational walking are
very popular.
Annual community events include the:
Fall Color Classic. Annual Cascade
Bicycle Club event includes ferry ride
across Puget Sound and routes of
various distances in Kitsap County.
Get Your Guts in Gear 3-day ride in
support of Crohn’s Disease research.
Trek Tri-Island 3-day ride in support of
the American Lung Association.
Local community sponsored 5k and
10k fun runs.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
CONNECTIONS
There are only a few opportunities to
develop trails, scenic corridors or other
linear parks such as the Interurban Trail
corridor. However, there are many
opportunities to develop interconnecting
trails through natural open space areas.
Public access into these areas should be
encouraged with care where
environmentally sensitive areas need
protection from public intrusion.
Prioritization should be made for
completing the existing bicycle and
pedestrian route system including loop
routes in every community.
Page 4-8 Community Needs Assessment
Packet Page 314 of 509
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Completing the Interurban Trail section
through Edmonds is essential since trail
sections have already been completed
north and south of Edmonds through the
cities of Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace,
and Shoreline. The Interurban Trail will
benefit both recreational and commuting
bicyclists.
The 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor project
is an example of a pedestrian focused
linear park being incorporated into the
downtown fabric. Similar projects can be
pursued using the land resources the city
already owns or can partner with other
agencies to implement.
Establishment of planned and signed
walking routes can assist residents in
finding suitable places to exercise and
provide safety by notifying vehicular traffic
to the presence of pedestrians. A map of
these routes and trailheads can be
provided through the Parks, Recreation
and Cultural Services department.
Scenic corridors provide visual
connections within the city and to
surrounding natural features. As the city
develops, it is recommended to identify
and preserve the most valuable view
corridors.
Providing connections, in general, will
take the forms of planning, preserving
and developing appropriate routes,
sometimes in conjunction with roadway
projects in the city.
Beautification Areas
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Beautification areas currently include
flower baskets, medians, street trees,
corner parks and public art sites, and the
grounds of several city buildings.
Maintenance Impacts
Beautification areas require a significant
amount of maintenance.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
• The community continues to
support the beautification area
programs.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
BEAUTIFICATION AREAS
When additional maintenance is available
Beautification Areas should continue to
be improved and expanded, especially
when partnerships with residents and
local businesses can be formed.
RECREATION FACILITIES AND
PROGRAMS
On the following pages, specific needs for
each type of facility are discussed. The
facility categories include:
Children’s Play Areas
Pathways/Trails
Sports Fields
Swimming Pools
Tennis and Basketball Courts
Recreation Programs and Activities
Methodology of Assessing Need for
Recreation Facilities
Establishing needs for recreation facilities
was derived from an analysis of existing
conditions, needs expressed in the
survey, needs identified in the public
process, input from the stakeholders and
from national or state trends.
On the following pages, the needs for
specific types of facilities are discussed.
Children’s Play Areas
EXISTING CONDITIONS
There are 12 children’s play areas in
Edmonds’ parks. In addition, there are 6
school sites accessible to the public.
Community Needs Assessment Page 4-9
Packet Page 315 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
Service Area
The service area for children’s play areas
is the same as that of a neighborhood
park, or one-half mile radius.
Maintenance Impacts
Children’s play areas require frequent
maintenance and scheduled replacement.
Safety surfacing must be maintained at
an appropriate depth and free of foreign
objects. Play equipment should be
inspected frequently for safety hazards
such as loose connections and worn
fittings.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Trends
An innovative children’s play area can
provide quality play experiences for
children. Several communities in the
Northwest have begun developing
imaginative children’s play areas
designed to be universally accessible and
responsive to children’s developmental
needs. The play areas may interpret the
area’s history or culture and may
incorporate art elements and water play.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD
It is recommended the City provide
children’s play areas within a one-half
mile radius of all residents.
Update play areas as required and
continue to meet current safety
standards.
Sports Fields
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Edmonds currently owns or controls 6
park-centered sports fields and shares
facilities at the Meadowdale Athletic
Complex. The City owned fields are
irregularly shaped and as a consequence
do not generally qualify as “regulation”
fields. While some fields are fairly well
developed, others are in poor condition.
Many of the fields are used as multi-use
fields and considered substandard for
upper age youth and adult game or
tournament play due to their quality of
development and/or the field dimensions.
In addition, as part of an Edmonds School
District levy and bond package, taxpayers
provided $10 million in 2004 for 18
playgrounds, play field and outdoor area
upgrades and development throughout
the District. Several of these projects
have been completed including field turf
at high schools and drainage and safety
improvements at several others.
Service Area
While the service area of a baseball or
softball field is often considered to be a
1/2-mile radius, or the same as a
neighborhood park, many communities
have favored the development of fields
into complexes. In Edmonds, the
Meadowdale Athletic Complex meets this
definition. The service area for soccer
fields is generally considered to be a 1-
mile to 2-mile radius, or that of a
community park.
Maintenance Impacts
Unless fields are made of synthetic
materials, opposed to natural turf, the
maintenance and operation of sports
fields is labor intensive. Currently, most
sports fields are located on school district
property or in city parks.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Survey Results
The need for new or improved sports
fields ranked moderately compared to
other proposed facilities.
The upgrading of existing fields
ranked much higher than the addition
of new fields.
Public Process Results
The community expressed a need for
more availability of fields, especially
for adults. Many teams have to drive a
long distance for field availability
Page 4-10 Community Needs Assessment
Packet Page 316 of 509
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
and/or have to play at undesirable
times of the day.
The community supported
development of existing fields to
increase use levels (all-weather,
lighting, etc.).
Relative to other park projects, the
development of sports fields only
received moderate support.
A general support for a field complex
was seen, as this allows for larger
tournament play.
Trends
Youth baseball/softball and soccer
involvement continues to increase.
Youth soccer and baseball are
especially popular and co-ed adult
leagues are also increasing.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
FIELDS
Additional fields should be provided as
new park sites are considered at both the
neighborhood and community park levels.
An additional 4 soccer fields could be
developed for a standard of 0.15. 1 new
baseball field could be developed for a
standard of 0.02. 1 new youth soccer field
could be developed for a standard of
0.13. In addition to new facilities, the
improvement of existing fields to all-
weather surfacing with lights can improve
usability and greatly expand capacity.
Swimming Pools
EXISTING CONDITIONS – OUTDOOR POOLS
Yost Pool was built in 1972. The facility is
a handicap accessible seasonal pool with
a holding capacity of 250,00 gallons of
water. The 25 meter x 25 yard pool is L-
shaped and has a spa that can
accommodate 10 people. A pool
feasibility study has been approved and
will take place in 2008.
EXISTING CONDITIONS – INDOOR POOLS
There are 2 indoor pools in the Edmonds
area; both are in private ownership.
The existing pool facilities are well
developed and at near capacity.
Service Area
The service area for a swimming pool is
15-minutes to 30-minutes of travel time.
Larger pools are often considered to be a
more regional facility.
Maintenance Impacts
The maintenance and operation of a pool
facility is high compared to other types of
recreation facilities.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Survey Results
A regional pool scored as an equal
priority to regional trails and came in as a
high priority overall.
Public Process Results
Public meeting participants identified
the need for a year round aquatics
center, either indoor or outdoor and
covered.
Trends
On a national scale, swimming
continues to be a very popular
recreation activity.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
INDOOR POOLS
The level of service should be increased
to provide future indoor pool space.
Tennis and Basketball Courts
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The City of Edmonds has 4 tennis courts.
and 7 basketball courts. In addition, there
are 8 tennis courts and 4 basketball
courts on Edmonds School District
property available during non-school
hours.
Community Needs Assessment Page 4-11
Packet Page 317 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
Service Area
Tennis and Basketball courts should be
available within a 1-mile to 2-mile radius
of residents, or similar to a community
park service area.
Maintenance Impacts
Tennis and Basketball courts require
minimal maintenance compared to
recreation facilities with soft surfaces.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Survey Results
Outdoor courts of all types ranked
lower in priority than other types of
sports facilities
Trends
Tennis has gone through a number of up
and down interest trends in the past.
However, recent participation levels and
interest has been fairly constant.
Basketball remains a popular sport for all
ages in most communities.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
COURTS
It is recommended that an additional
three tennis courts be added for a
recommended service level of 0.20. It is
recommended that an additional five
basketball courts be added for a
recommended service level of 0.36.
Recreation Programs
EXISTING CONDITIONS - RECREATION
The Department provides a broad range
of recreation programs and activities for
all ages. See Chapter 3.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Survey Results
The highest ranked recreation
programs were summer programs,
before/after school activities, teen
activities, youth athletic programs,
fitness classes, and senior programs.
To accommodate future recreation
programs, increasing user fees is the
most popular form of funding.
Public Meeting Results
Public meeting participants were
interested in additional programs,
particularly for teens and seniors.
A greater diversity of programs was
generally supported, including popular
new sporting activities and cultural
activities.
CULTURAL SERVICES FACILITIES
AND PROGRAMS
Cultural Facilities
The community has expressed an interest
in enhanced or new multipurpose arts
facilities particularly for the visual arts.
Support was also expressed for public
gathering spaces that may be used for
visual and performing art activities for
people of all ages.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Public Meeting Results
The public expressed interest in the
City providing support for existing
facilities, such as the Edmonds
Center for the Arts, and the possibility
of expanded and shared uses of
existing facilities.
Interest in more downtown mixed use
cultural venues, possibly addressing
visual art needs.
Comments suggested that the City be
more proactive in design guidelines
and code to encourage inclusion of
small public spaces in downtown
mixed use developments that include
public art or support cultural activities.
Page 4-12 Community Needs Assessment
Packet Page 318 of 509
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Cultural Services Public Meeting Results
There was a general interest in seeing
more public art in the city, with an
emphasis on greater variety and
general recognition of growing cultural
diversity.
Cultural Services provides a range of
programs for varied ages in literary, visual
and performing arts, and serves as a
central information center for the network
of artists, art organizations, and art
programs in Edmonds. The staffing
provided by the City enhances the
viability of all the private art organizations
in Edmonds. In addition Cultural Services
works to ensure that arts and cultural
elements are included in general planning
initiatives and economic development
citywide.
Using the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor
to strengthen the connectivity of
cultural venues such as the South
County Historical Museum and Log
Cabin and ECA, as well as, the
connectivity of the downtown to
waterfront was popular with the
community.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Survey Results
The highest priority in the cultural
facilities category was improvements
to the Edmonds Center for the Arts.

provide a sense of direction for facilities
and services. They also form the basic
framework for the Comprehensive Plan
and the Community Cultural Plan.
DEFINITIONS
A goal is a general statement describing a
type or quality of service the City wishes
to provide. Goals typically do not change
over time unless community values or
economic conditions make it necessary.

Action Plan
This chapter contains a summary of the
assessed need and specific
recommendations for the development,
acquisition and management of the Park
System in Edmonds. The following
elements are addressed:
Parks and Open Space
Recreation Facilities & Programs
Cultural Services, Facilities and
Programs
Maintenance and Operations
Administration
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
Overall Concept
The ideal Park System for a community is
made up of various park types, each
offering certain recreation and/or open
space opportunities. Separately, a park
type may serve only one basic function,
but collectively they can serve the needs
of the community. By recognizing this
concept, Edmonds can develop an
efficient and cost effective Park System
that meets most of the community’s
needs. In addition, by attaching
implementation policies to each park type,
where applicable, it is easy to understand
how the park is to be developed,
maintained, and used.
The basic concept is to assure that every
neighborhood in the City of Edmonds is
served by a neighborhood or community
park. Neighborhood and community parks
form the core of the Park System for
Edmonds.
Recommended Plan
The Recommended Plan map is a
graphic concept for a future park system
in Edmonds. It includes the
recommended actions from this chapter in
a graphic format to show locations and
connections.
Neighborhood Parks
ASSESSED NEED
Based on the needs assessment, 6
additional neighborhood parks totaling 12
acres are needed to serve the Edmonds
planning area.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
City staff should work with private
developers and property owners in the
downtown area to encourage public
spaces with new or re-developed sites.
Cooperating with schools to develop,
manage and maintain recreation facilities
for use by the public is a cost-effective
way to increase the community’s total
recreation opportunity. It should
supplement, but not necessarily replace,
traditional neighborhood parks.
Develop additional neighborhood park
elements on the following school sites:
Westgate Elementary School
Madrona Elementary School
Develop neighborhood park elements in
existing open space areas including:
Maplewood Hill Park
Acquiring new neighborhood park sites in
the one-half mile radius areas
surrounding:
Puget Drive and Olympic View Drive
76th Ave. W and 180th St. SE
206th St. SW and 80th Ave. W
228th St. SW and Highway 99
Improve existing parks and open space
sites as shown on Table 6.1.
Action Plan Page 6-1
Packet Page 326 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
General Guidelines
Acquisition of land for neighborhood
parks should occur in advance of their
need.
As a built-out community Edmonds
should consider acquisition of
property in neighborhood park deficit
areas.
Site Selection Criteria
Under most conditions, neighborhood
parks should be no smaller than one
acre in size, with optimum size being
four to seven acres. If the park is
located on a school site or within the
proposed open space system,
optimum park size may be reduced
depending upon the school facilities
provided or the configuration of the
open space area.
At least 50 percent of the site should
be flat and usable, and provide space
for active and passive uses.
Where possible, streets should abut
the park on at least one side.
The site should be reasonably central
to the neighborhood it is intended to
serve.
If possible, the park should have
direct access to a sidewalk or trail.
Access routes should minimize
physical barriers and crossing of
major roadways.
The site should be visible from
adjoining streets.
Additional access points via paved
Page 6-2 Action Plan
Packet Page 327 of 509
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
pathways or sidewalks from the
adjoining neighborhood should be
provided.
Design and Development Recommendations
Park features may include:
Children’s play areas (toddlers,
children)
Unstructured open play areas
Multi-use sports fields, primarily for
youth play
Tennis courts
Basketball courts
Picnic areas
Shelter building (small)
Natural open space
Internal trails and/or pathways
Site amenities such as picnic tables,
benches, bike racks, drinking
fountains, trash receptacles, etc.)
Other features as appropriate
A minimum of one parking space per acre
of usable active park area should be
provided to accommodate both handicap
and standard parking. If on-street parking
is available, this standard can be
reduced. Design should encourage
access by foot or bicycle.
Restrooms (permanent or portable) are
appropriate for this type of park but must
be near and visible from the adjoining
street.

Community Parks
ASSESSED NEED
Based on the needs assessment, one
additional community park is needed to
cover the Edmonds planning area. At an
average size of twenty acres, this
amounts to roughly twenty additional
acres of land.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Develop an active community park at
the Former Woodway High School or
other location in the south end
planning area.
Develop an additional skate facility in
the south end planning area.
Follow recommendations for existing
community parks as shown on Table
6.2.
IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
General Guidelines
Because of size, the acquisition of
community park land should occur in
advance of its need.
A community park should be
constructed when the area it will serve
reaches about 50 percent
development (measured by either
acreage developed, or ultimate
service population).
Wherever feasible, community parks
should be developed adjacent to
middle or high school sites.
Site Selection Criteria
Minimum size should be roughly 10
acres with the optimum about 20 to 30
acres.
At least one-half of the site should be
available for active recreation use.
Adequate buffers should separate
active use areas from nearby homes
or other uses on the site.
If possible, walking or bicycling
distance should not exceed 1-mile to
2-miles for the area it serves.
The site should be visible from
adjoining streets.
Access should be via a collector or
arterial street.
Design and Development Recommendations
Appropriate facilities include:
Designated lighted sports fields
(softball, baseball, soccer, etc.)
Tennis courts
Outdoor basketball courts
Sand or grass volleyball courts
Open multi-use grass area
Children’s play areas (toddlers,
children)
Restrooms
Picnic areas
Picnic shelters (various sizes)
Group picnic facilities
Natural open space
Trails and pathway systems
Art elements and outdoor sculpture
Covered performance area
Site amenities (picnic tables,
benches, bike racks, drinking
fountains, trash receptacles, etc.)
Parking requirements are dependent
upon the facilities provided.
Permanent restrooms are appropriate for
this type of park but should be located in
highly visible areas and near public
streets.

Regional Parks
The overall intent should be to develop a
continuous public shoreline access so a
person could walk from Marina Beach
north to Brackett’s Landing and on to
Haines Tidelands and Meadowdale
Beach during low tide without trespassing
on private property. This provides a
continuous waterfront link between the
Edmonds shoreline and the Washington
Water Trails system.
ASSESSED NEED
Based on the needs assessment fifteen
extra acres of land may be available for
regional parkland.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Acquire and develop at least seven
additional acres of waterfront property
and property in the Downtown
Waterfront Activity Center for regional
park use.
Acquire near shore tidelands
whenever feasible.
Institute an Adopt-a-Beach program to
involve volunteers in keeping the
tidelands free of litter and debris.
Develop and implement marketing
plan to ensure future sustainability.
Complete changes shown on Table
6.3.
Publicize the tax advantages of
donating near shore tidelands to the
City.
Upgrade restrooms and continue jetty
repair at Brackett’s Landing.
Connect Olympic Beach Walkway to
the Senior Center.
Maintain Brackett’s Landing Park at a
high level due to its visibility and
prominence as the gateway to
Edmonds from the Kitsap Peninsula.
Take advantage of opportunities to
acquire additional parkland for
regional parks, particularly on the
waterfront.
Pursue partnerships with other
communities for the development of a
tournament level sports complex.
IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
General Guidelines
Prior to the development of any
specialized facility, a detailed cost
benefit analysis and maintenance
impact statement should be prepared.
The minimum size of a site will
depend on the function it serves. Sites
should be in keeping with the scale of
the facilities and large enough to
accommodate setbacks and support
facilities (e.g., parking, landscaping,
etc.) as needed.

Gateways/Entrance Areas
ASSESSED NEED
Attractive gateways and entrance areas
provide a memorable visual image of
Edmonds to visitors and travelers passing
through.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Pursue partnerships with Washington
Department of Transportation,
Snohomish County, King County, and
City of Edmonds Public Works, to
create gateways at all major
entrances to the City.
Implement Gateway/Entrance
concepts as developed in the
Streetscape Plan.
Add or update signs in accordance
with City Wayfinding Signage
Program Standards.
Connections
ASSESSED NEED
An additional 5.5 miles of walkways and
8.7 miles of bicycle routes are needed to
meet the needs assessment.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Work with engineering division to
update Bikeway and Walkway Plan.
Develop a system of on-street marked
connections and loop routes with
signage, trailheads and distances.
Complete the Edmonds section of the
Interurban Trail to connect with
sections completed by the Cities of
Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, and
Shoreline.
Work with transportation engineering
to update the current bicycle route
map for route safety and
completeness of bikeway routes.
Develop multi-use trails, suitable for
all ages, primarily along designated
loop routes
Create trail connections to hatchery.
Strengthen connections between
downtown and the waterfront through
both visual and physical site
improvements.
Complete the 4th Avenue Cultural
Corridor.
IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
The following guidelines, site selection
criteria and development standards apply
to trails and pathways. Sidewalks within
public street right-of-ways should be
developed where they serve as a linkage
between the neighborhood and a park or
a major trail system.
General Guidelines
Trails following along stream corridors
and drainage ways can provide
natural linkages between urban
development and recreational areas.
Trails should be planned, sized,
designed and located to minimize
their impacts on the ecological
functions of stream corridors and to
minimize the impacts of unplanned
access in and near these drainage
ways. Where there is a narrow band
of riparian vegetation along a stream,
parallel trails should generally be
located outside the riparian area.
Continue to provide trail connections,
resting points and links to the
Washington Waterways Trail System.
Encourage developers to provide and
build pathways and trail amenities
within their proposed developments
that link with the City’s overall trail
system.
Trails easements, dedications, and
development need to occur prior to or
at the time of development.
Action Plan Page 6-13
Packet Page 338 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
The City should be sensitive to private
owners when trails are proposed next
to them.
In previously developed areas, trails
shall be sited through purchase or
conservation easements from willing
property owners and alternative
routing may be considered when
necessary. As a last resort, the City
Council may need to use its authority
to condemn private lands to complete
sections of a citywide trail system.
Support the Port of Edmonds in the
provision of viewpoints, waterfront
walkways, trail corridors and
connections as a part of their Master
Plan.
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Services Department should work with
the Engineering Division to update
trail standards to reflect additional
alternative design concepts for
recreation related trails.
Site Selection Criteria
Wherever feasible, recreation
pathways and trails should be located
off streets. However, on-street
systems (sidewalks, bike lanes, etc.)
may be used in order to complete
connections, when needed.
Trails and walkways should be
developed throughout the community
to provide linkages to schools, parks
and other destination points.
Design and Development Recommendations
Trail alignments should take into
account soil conditions, steep slopes,
surface drainage and other physical
limitations that could increase
construction and/or maintenance
costs.
Walkways and pedestrian routes
should be planned, sized and
designed for multiple uses, except for
dedicated nature trails and areas that
cannot be developed to the standard
necessary to minimize potential user
conflicts.
Design standards for trails should be
developed and incorporated into the
City’s Development Standards.
Where possible, trails should be multi-
modal. Some trails should be
designed to accommodate children
and family cycling.
Walkways should be designed per
engineering standards as pedestrian
friendly corridors.

RECREATION FACILITIES
Children’s Play Areas
ASSESSED NEED
Age-appropriate play areas for toddlers
and school-age children should be
provided within walking distance of all
residents.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Provide age-appropriate play areas for
toddlers and school-age children in each
neighborhood and community park.
Cooperate with the Edmonds School
District to provide play areas on school
grounds when parkland is not available.
IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
The following guidelines, site selection
criteria and development standards apply
to children’s play environments.
Children’s play environments should
be separated from streets by fences,
barrier plantings, or other recreation
facilities.
Separate age-appropriate play areas
should be provided for toddlers and
school-age children.
Play elements should meet current
safety standards and be accessible to
children with and without disabilities.
Sports Fields
The community favored the improvement
of existing fields, and increased
partnerships with school sites to increase
play capacity, instead of building new
fields. However, there is need for more
facilities and any opportunity for new
facilities will benefit long-term levels of
service as population grows.
ASSESSED NEED – BASEBALL FIELDS
There is a need for 1 regulation baseball
field to support adult league play.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
A baseball field can best be developed as
part of a new or redeveloped community
park.
ASSESSED NEED – SOFTBALL FIELDS
There is no additional need for softball
fields.
ASSESSED NEED – YOUTH BASEBALL/SOFTBALL
There is a need for 3 additional youth
baseball/softball fields.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Youth baseball/softball fields can best be
developed as part of a new or
redeveloped community park.
Partnerships and improvements at school
sites may also increase levels of play on
existing fields.
ASSESSED NEED – SOCCER FIELDS
There is a need for 1 additional regulation
soccer field and 3 additional U6-U14
youth fields.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Soccer fields can best be developed as
part of a new or redeveloped community
park or neighborhood park. Partnerships
and improvements at school sites may
also increase levels of play on existing
fields.
Swimming Pools
ASSESSED NEED
There is a need for year-round access to
a public swimming pool.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Due to the age of Yost Pool (constructed
in 1972) and the increasing costs of
maintenance, funds are available in the
2008 CIP budget to conduct a feasibility
study of Yost Pool or other community
options for a pool facility. Alternatives will
be examined to determine costs and
various options related to this site or
Page 6-16 Action Plan
Packet Page 341 of 509
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
alternate sites. With this up to date
information, Council can better determine
a preferred approach to finance and
manage the selected alternative.
Tennis Courts
ASSESSED NEED
3 additional tennis courts should be
developed to maintain the needs
assessment for the growing population.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Tennis courts can be developed as part of
any community or regional park
development and should serve the
population in a 1 to 2 mile radius.
RECREATION PROGRAMS
ASSESSED NEED
The current recreation program offered by
the City is quite extensive but limited in
any further expansion by the lack of
indoor facilities or additional sports fields.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Discovery Programs
Expand hours of Beach Ranger
Station at Olympic Beach.
Develop a full-scale, year-round
interpretive center at Willow Creek
Hatchery.
Youth Programs
The 2001 Youth Advisory Committee
envisions Edmonds “as a community
committed to the positive involvement,
safety and growth of all of our youth.”
Their goals are:
Create and sustain a community-wide
sense of common purpose in
promoting the positive development of
all youth to increase the average
number of assets.
Help youth feel connected to and
valued by the community and help the
community to value youth.
Increase access to recreational and
social opportunities for youth.
This vision challenges everyone to
support the positive development of
youth, one individual at a time, and to
accept personal and collective
responsibility for his or her growth and
development. Youth represent an
important resource as current citizens and
as future leaders of the community.
Ideas/recommendations for what
everyone can do to help the youth
succeed are contained in the Community
Youth Report, which is an element of this
plan.
Aquatic Programs
The City currently provides swim lessons,
recreation swimming, and swim team time
in an outdoor pool. Based on the
experiences of other cities, Edmonds
could expect to significantly increase its
recreation program with the construction
of an indoor pool / recreation center.
Cultural Programs
Recommendations for Cultural Programs
are contained in the Community Cultural
Plan Update.
Senior Citizens Programs
Continue to contract annually for senior
citizens services from the South County

Funding Plan
Packet Page 345 of 509
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Funding Plan
This section outlines strategies for
funding improvements of parks,
recreation and cultural facilities.
CAPITAL PROJECTS
This section lists specific
recommendations along with potential
sources of funding. The summary of this
planning process is shown in the 6-year
capital improvement plan identified in
Table 7.1.
Project Priorities
The following priorities are recommended
for funding capital projects (not in order).
HIGH PRIORITY

in underserved neighborhoods
Off-leash park, boat launch and
skateboard elements
Funding Sources
The following are possible funding
sources for the planning, acquisition,
development and maintenance of parks,
open space and other recreational areas.
1. General Fund: This source comes
from taxes, fees and other charges. It
provides money for general
operations and maintenance. Capital
projects are occasionally funded from
this source when the capacity exists,
usually via a transfer of funds to the
Capital Improvement Fund.
2. Real Estate Excise Tax (REET):
This is a tax imposed at the time of a
real estate sale. There are two
components of the tax, Fund 125 and
126. The rate of each is one-fourth of
one percent of the property’s sale
price. Revenues derived from each
of these components are dedicated
through City Council action to be
used for park,recreation, open space
and cultural facility capital purposes.
Funding Plan Page 7-1
Packet Page 346 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
Revenue from this fund should be
estimated conservatively as the real
estate market can be volatile.
Fund 126, the first one-fourth of one
percent, can be used for acquisition and
development. From 2005 to 2007, it
generated about $1,400,000 annually. It
pays the debt service for the purchase of
City Hall, Marina Beach and Edmonds
Center for the Arts as well as Library
Plaza improvements and the city portion
of the Anderson Center Seismic retrofit.
Fund 125, the second one-fourth of one
percent, also generated about $1,400,000
from 2005 to 2007. The first $750,000 is
used for park development. Additional
funds collected are directed to Fund 112
which can be used for transportation
improvements including walkways,
bikeways, and the Interurban Trail as well
as traditional road improvements.
Acquisition is not allowed with 2nd Qtr.
REET.
3. General Obligation Bond: These are
voter-approved or Councilmatic
bonds with the assessment placed
on real property. The money can only
be used for capital improvements
and not maintenance. This property
tax is levied for a specified period of
time (usually 20 years to 30 years).
Passage of voter-ratified bond
requires a 60 percent majority vote,
while Councilmatic bonds require
only a majority of the City Council.
One disadvantage of using this type
of levy may be the interest costs.
4. Revenue Bonds: These bonds are
sold and paid from the revenue
produced as a guarantee for the
operation of a facility or enterprise.
5. HUD Block Grants: Grants from the
federal Department of Housing and
Urban Development and
administered by Snohomish County
as Community Development Block
Grants (CDBG) are available for a
wide variety of projects. Most are
distributed in the lower income areas
of the community. Grants can be up
to 100 percent of project cost. ADA
access projects are eligible for this
funding. The South County Senior
Center 2003-2005 capital project
awards from this program totaled
$480,000.
6. Park Impact Fees: Park Impact Fees
are fees imposed on new
development to mitigate the impact
of new development on the City’s
park system. Impact fees can be
used only for parkland acquisition
and/or development. The City does
not utilize this funding mechanism at
this time. Because growth is only one
percent per year on average, this
option may not be worth the effort.
Impact fee collection in addition to
REET may be seen as double
taxation which was not the intent of
the state legislation allowing impact
fees.
7. Certificates of Participation: This is
a lease-purchase approach where a
city sells Certificates of Participation
(COP's) to a lending institution. The
City then pays the loan off from
revenue produced by the facility or
from its general operating budget.
The lending institution holds title to
the property until the COP's are
repaid. This procedure does not
require a vote of the public.
Page 7-2 Funding Plan
Packet Page 347 of 509
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
8. Donations: The donation of labor,
land, or cash by service agencies,
private groups, or individuals is a
popular way to raise small amounts
of money for specific projects. Such
service agencies as the Kiwanis and
Rotary often fund, or augment
available funding, for projects such
as playground improvements. The
Rotary Pavilion (completed in 2006)
at Edmonds City Park is a good
example. Another example would be
the Edmonds Arts Festival
Foundation funding for public art.
9. Public Land Trusts: Land trusts
such as the Trust for Public Land,
Inc., and the Nature Conservancy will
acquire and hold land for eventual
acquisition by a public agency or
broker cooperative partnerships. In
most cases, they are primarily
interested in large blocks of natural
open space. As a result, this may not
be a viable option for Edmonds.
10. Lifetime Estates: This is an
agreement between a landowner and
the City where the City buys or
receives by donation a piece of land
and the City gives the owner the right
to live on the site after it is sold for
the lifetime of the owner (i.e. Hutt
Park).
11. Exchange of Property: An
exchange of property between a
private landowner and the City can
occur. For example, the City could
exchange an unneeded site for a
potential park site currently under
private ownership.
12. Joint Public/Private Partnership:
The basic approach is for a public
agency to enter into a working
agreement with a private corporation
to help fund, build and/or operate a
public facility. Generally, the three
primary incentives a public agency
can offer is free land to place a
facility (usually a park or other piece
of public land), certain tax
advantages, and access to the
facility. While the public agency may
have to give up certain
responsibilities or control, it is one
way of obtaining public facilities at a
lower cost.
13. Public Facilities District: In 1999,
Chapter 165 of Washington State law
provided the ability for cities to
establish a public facilities district
(PFD). The legislation specifically
authorized acquisition, construction,
and ownership of regional
convention, conference, or special
event centers (RCW 35.57.020.) This
option was one source used to
purchase and construct the Edmonds
Center for the Arts.
14. Private Grants and Foundations:
Private grants and foundations
provide money for a wide range of
projects. Many grants are available
for environmental protection. In
addition, community improvement
grants are available through The
Hubbard Family Foundation, Rotary,
the McDevitt Family Foundation,
Friends of the Edmonds Library, and
Edmonds Art Festival Foundation
among others.
15. Salmon Recovery Grant: The
Salmon Recovery Board administers
grants to provide funding of habitat
Funding Plan Page 7-3
Packet Page 348 of 509
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
protection and restoration projects
and related programs and activities
that produce sustainable and
measurable benefits for fish and their
habitat. Eligible applicants include
local governments, private
landowners, conservation districts,
Native American tribes, non-profit
organizations, and special service
districts.
Projects require a minimum of 15%
match with no upper limit on the
grant amount. Grants may be used
for acquisition, in-stream diversion,
in-stream passage, in-stream habitat,
riparian habitat, and upland habitat,
estuarine/marine near shore, and
assessments and studies.
16. County, State and Federal Grants:
Snohomish County provides grant
opportunities through the
Conservation Futures funding
program, and the County Council’s
Neighborhood Fund Awards
Program.
Washington State provides various
grants for public recreation
acquisition and development through
the Recreation & Conservation
Funding Board (RCO Grants), the
Department of Natural Resources
(DNR), the Department of Ecology’s
Coastal Zone Management (CZM)
programs, and the Washington State
Arts Commission Grant programs.
On the Federal level, Congress
appropriates funds through the Land
and Water Conservation Funds,
FEMA, National Parks Service,
Historic Preservation Congressional
Appropriation and the National
Endowment of the Arts.
Edmonds has been very successful
over the past fifteen years in
obtaining matching grants to secure
and develop substantial parklands for
the community.
17. Increase Local Sales Tax: Cities
can exercise the option to maximize
the collection of sales tax revenue.
Projected revenue can be
determined by calculating the
difference between the current
collection and the maximum
allowable. Tax amounts fluctuate
year to year depending on the
economy.
18. Parks Trust Fund 601: Established
in March 2003 to receive various
types of donations (gift annuities,
stocks, etc.) from the citizenry with
the intent that the interest earned will
be used to assist the cost of
operating, maintaining, and
improving the Flower Program,
Environmental Programs, and Yost
Pool.
19. Gifts Program: The City of Edmonds
Gifts Program was established in
1988 and is administered in the
Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Services Department. This program
provides a means for individuals,
businesses, or organizations to
donate funds for site specific
amenities in our parks. The majority
of donations are given in memory of
a loved one, while others are given
as gifts or to honor loved ones.
Benches, picnic tables, and trees are
the most requested memorial item,
and the waterfront remains the most
popular site for benches. In 2007,
three viewing scopes (Olympic
Beach, Senior Center, and Brackett’s
Page 7-4 Funding Plan
Packet Page 349 of 509
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan

Capital Improvement Plan
The following is a funding strategy for
implementing the action plan outlined in
Chapter 6. Proposed projects, estimated
costs, and potential revenue sources are
shown in Table 7.1, which matches the
most current adopted CIP.
It should be noted that, over time,
priorities change, new funding sources
become available, or opportunities arise
to acquire land or develop a project. As a
requirement of the Washington State
Growth Management Act (GMA), the City
reviews the CIP on an annual basis.
The total cost to meet the recreation and
facility needs in the near term in Edmonds
is placed at approximately $30 million, not
including projects listed as unique costs in
Appendix “A” (Aquatic Center, 4th Avenue
Cultural Corridor, New Park(s) Downtown.
Several proposed facility improvements
are currently funded in the CIP, such as
162nd Street Park, Old Woodway
Elementary Park and the Interurban Trail.
The key to funding the CIP is the
combination of grants, general obligation
bonds for large projects approved by the
voters (i.e. indoor pool) and the use of the
two one-fourth of one percent Real Estate
Excise Taxes (REET). City Council
approved the dedication of REET (Fund
#125 to $750,000/year & #126) be used
for park acquisition, development and
improvements.
Additional CIP funding is provided for
non-motorized transportation
improvements such as walkway and
crosswalk projects in the Transportation
Fund 112.
Additional CIP funding is provided for
community centers and recreation
facilities in the Building Maintenance
Fund 116.

August 2007
Dear Edmonds Survey Participant:
Thank you for agreeing to participate in our survey. The City of Edmonds is completing
work on the City’s Park, Recreation, Open Space and Cultural Comprehensive Plan. The
plan will determine priorities for park, recreation, open space and cultural programs,
and financing strategies, for the next six year comprehensive planning period
which will impact programs into the foreseeable future. Your opinions will help the
City develop a final plan and financing strategy that reflects the desires and values of the
Edmonds community.
Survey telephone call: Please review the survey questions and the graphic materials
enclosed. The telephone survey team will call to discuss your survey responses in about
1 week. In the meantime, please mark this copy to indicate your response to each
question. You will greatly assist the telephone survey team, and shorten the length
of the phone call, if you have completed the answers and can read your responses
to the survey caller.
To obtain the survey accuracy desired by the city, telephone surveys must be completed
by 200 residents. Therefore, we need your response for the survey to be an accurate
reflection of Edmonds resident opinions. We will continue to call the persons participating
in the survey until we have completed 200 responses. Consequently, please be
prepared so that you may be included within the final sample.
Note - please do not mail your survey - this will slow the response time and could
also jeopardize survey reliability. The city will notify you in writing once 200 surveys
have been completed.
Please contact Brian McIntosh, Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services Director at
(425)771-0256 or mcintosh@ci.edmonds.wa.us if you have any questions about the plan
or this survey.
Sincerely,
CITY OF EDMONDS
Brian McIntosh
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services Director

SECTION 2: Specific development plan proposals
Please note that where proposed or existing sites are shown, it does not necessarily
imply who would be responsible for providing or enhancing those sites. In many cases,
partnerships may be required with other agencies or organizations to jointly develop or
enhance park, recreation, open space and cultural sites within the city. In addition,
proposals are contingent upon future feasibility and as opportunities may allow. Where
proposed sites are shown jointly with the school district or other organizations and
agencies, proposals are also contingent upon joint approval of those agencies.

SECTION 3: Financing Options
The budget of the Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Cultural Services department is made up
of many sources. While most of the budget comes from municipal sources, other resources such
as user fees, partnerships, private donations and various grants make up the total available
budget. Edmonds strives to always explore new financing opportunities.
Growth management
According to the US census in the next 20 years the area’s population could increase by
another 4,300 people (or approximately 11% more than the existing population of 40,500
persons) as lands are developed or redeveloped for more housing.
87 In your opinion, will existing park, recreation, open space
and cultural sites (not including any of the above proposals)
within the city, county, and school district systems be
enough to serve this population increase?
[ 28% ] yes
[ 44% ] no
[ 28% ] don't
know
88 In your opinion, will the proposed park, recreation, open
space and cultural sites described in Section 2 in addition to
existing sites be enough to provide for this population?
[ 58% ] yes
[ 13% ] no
[ 28% ] don't
know
89 In your opinion, will the proposed park, recreation, open
space and cultural sites described above improve your
access and ability to enjoy the park system in Edmonds
even after this population increase occurs?
[ 62% ] yes
[ 11% ] no
[ 27% ] don't
know
Entrepreneurial Financing
The city could support a variety of creative, entrepreneurial opportunities as a means of
financing the acquisition and development of additional park, recreation, open space and
cultural sites. These opportunities can include conservation easements, access
agreements, land lease/trust agreements (i.e., donation or lease of property to city),
revenue bonds, foundations (i.e., non-profit organizations), advertising, sponsorships and
public or private grants. How would you rate the importance of this option?

General obligation bond
City Council could submit a general obligation bond for voter approval as a means of
financing the acquisition and development of park, recreation, and open space sites. The
bond, which cannot be used for operation and maintenance, would generally be financed
over a 20-year period.
General obligation bond Amount per year
94 If a bond were to be put on the ballot to finance the highest
priority projects listed in Section 2 above, how much, if
anything, would your household be willing to pay per year
for this source of funding?
$122.50 mean
Property Tax
City Council could submit a property tax levy for voter approval as a means of financing
the acquisition, development, operation, and maintenance of all city park, recreation,
open space and cultural sites. The property tax levy would provide a dedicated source of
funds with which to provide park, recreation, open space and cultural sites and program
services for a specified amount of time.
Property tax levy Amount per year
95 If a property tax levy were to be put on the ballot to finance

$101.30 mean
Joint venture opportunities
Besides Edmonds - the school district, state, athletic organizations, non-profit
organizations and a variety of other public and private agencies own and operate park,
recreation, open space and cultural sites and programs within the city. These other
agencies can become especially important partners in developing sub-regional sites that
serve a larger population beyond city boundaries, such as aquatic centers, tennis
centers, and community centers. How would you prioritize joint venture projects with the
following agencies?

Design Standards for the BD1 Zone
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:05/20/2008
Submitted By:Rob Chave Time:15 Minutes
Department:Planning Type:Information
Review Committee:
Action:
Information
Subject Title
Planning Board recommendation on design standards for the BD1 zone.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
No action is required; a public hearing is set for July 15, 2008.
Previous Council Action
As part of its action adopting the new downtown business (BD) zones, the City Council asked the
Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission (EHPC) to investigate how new development could
be held to tighter standards in the downtown core area. After a report from the EHPC, on May 22,
2007, the Council forwarded the EHPC's recommendations to the Planning Board for review.
Narrative
This is a review session on a recommendation from the Planning Board on proposed amendments
to the BD1 zone. The proposals were referred to the Planning Board by the City Council, and were
initially developed by the Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission; the Planning
Board consulted with both the EHPC and the Architectural Design Board while developing its
recommendation.
The initial proposal from the Historic Preservation Commission was forwarded to the Planning
Board by the City Council in May, 2007. The Architectural Design Board completed its review of
the proposals in December, 2007, and provided the Planning Board with comments in January,
2008.
As the Planning Board's memo indicates, the Board is intending to continue working with the
EHPC on some of its other recommendations.

the code requirements for the BD1 zone.]
Packet Page 400 of 509
Draft Downtown Design Standards/2006.12.28 Page 2
Massing and Articulation
Intent:
To reduce the massiveness and bulk
of large box-like buildings, and
articulate the building form to a
pedestrian scale.
Standards:
1. Buildings shall 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.
Buildings should convey a distinct base
and top.
The base can be emphasized by a
different material.
Packet Page 401 of 509
Draft Downtown Design Standards/2006.12.28 Page 3
Orientation to Street
Intent:
To reinforce pedestrian activity and
orientation and enhance the liveliness
of the street through building design.
Standards:
1. Buildings shall be oriented to the
adjacent street, rather than to a
parking lot.
2. Entrances to buildings shall be visible
from the street and accessible from
the adjacent sidewalk.
3. Entrances shall be given a visually
distinct architectural expression by
one or more of the following
elements:
a. Higher bay(s)
b. Recessed entry (recessed at least 3
feet)
c. Forecourt and entrance plaza.
Buildings shall be oriented to the street.
Entrances shall be given visually
distinct expression.
Packet Page 402 of 509
Draft Downtown Design Standards/2006.12.28 Page 4
Ground Level Details
Intent:
To reinforce the character of the
streetscape by encouraging the
greatest amount of visual interest
along the ground level of buildings
facing pedestrian streets.
Standards:
1. Ground-floor, street-facing façades of
commercial and mixed-use buildings
shall incorporate at least five of the
following elements.
a. Lighting or hanging baskets
supported by ornamental brackets
b. Medallions
c. Belt courses
d. Plinths for columns
e. Bulkhead for storefront window
f. Projecting sills
g. Tilework
h. Transom or clerestory windows
i. Planter box
j. An element not listed here, as
approved, that meets the intent.
2. Ground floor commercial space is
intended to be at grade with the
sidewalk, as provided for in ECDC
16.43.030.B.

interest along the ground level of buildings
facing pedestrian streets.
Packet Page 403 of 509
Draft Downtown Design Standards/2006.12.28 Page 5
Awnings/Canopies and Signage
Intent:
To integrate signage and weather
protection with building design to
enhance business visibility and the
public streetscape.
To provide clear signage to identify
each business or property, and to
improve way-finding for visitors.
To protect the streetscape from
becoming cluttered, and to minimize
distraction from overuse of
advertisement elements.
Standards:
1. Structural canopies are encouraged
along pedestrian street fronts. If a
canopy is not provided, then an
awning shall be provided which is
attached to the building using a metal
or other framework.
2. Awnings and canopies shall be open-
sided to enhance visibility of business
signage. Front valances are permitted.
Signage is allowed on valances, but
not on valance returns.
3. Marquee, box, or convex awning or
canopy shapes are not permitted.
4. Retractable awnings are encouraged.
5. Awnings or canopies shall be located
within the building elements that
frame storefronts, and should not
conceal important architectural
details. Awnings or canopies should
be hung just below a clerestory or
“transom” window, if it exists.
6. Awnings or canopies on a multiple-
storefront building should be
consistent in character, scale and
position, but need not be identical.
Open-sided non-structural awning
with front valance.
Open-sided structural canopy.
Packet Page 404 of 509
Draft Downtown Design Standards/2006.12.28 Page 6
Awnings and Signage
(continued)
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Blade or projecting signs which
include decorative frames, brackets or
other design elements are
encouraged. This type of detail can be
used to satisfy one of the required
elements under the section ‘Ground
Level Details.’
10. Use graphics or symbols to reduce the
need to have large expanses of
lettering.
11. 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.
12. Signage should be given special
consideration when it is consistent
with or contributes to the historic
character of sites on the National
Register, the Edmonds Register of
Historic Places, or on a City-approved
historic survey.
13. Signage shall include decorative
frames, brackets or other design
elements. An historic sign may be
used to meet this standard.

Transparency at Street Level
Intent:
To provide visual connection between
activities inside and outside the
building.
Standards:
1. The ground level façades of
buildings that are oriented to
streets shall have transparent
windows with a minimum of 75%
transparency between an average
of 2 feet and 10 feet above grade.
2. To qualify as transparent, windows
shall not be mirrored or darkly tinted
glass, or prohibit visibility between the
street and interior.
3. Where transparency is not provided,
the façade shall comply with the
standards under the section ‘Treating
Blank Walls’.
Ground level facades of buildings
should have transparent windows
between 2 to 10 feet above grade.
Windows shall provide a visual
connection between activities
inside and outside the building,
and therefore should not be
mirrored or use darkly tinted
glass.

EDMONDS PLANNING BOARD
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Hearing Date/Time: Wednesday, February 13, 2008, beginning at 7pm
Hearing Location: City Council Chamber,
250 5th Ave N in Downtown Edmonds
Properties Affected: Properties zoned BD1 in Downtown Edmonds, located
along Main ST between 3rd and 6th Avenues, and
along 5th Avenue from Maple ST to the alley north of
Main ST.
Summary of the Proposal: Public hearing on proposed design standards and a
refined design review process that would apply to
properties in the Downtown Retail Core (properties
zoned BD1). Details of the proposal can be found on
the City Website at:
http://www.ci.edmonds.wa.us/pb_issues.htm
On January 16, 2007, the Edmonds City Council adopted new "BD - Downtown
Business" zones as a new Chapter 16.43 in the Edmonds Community Development
Code. The Council also approved a new zoning map for downtown properties. These
actions were a follow-up to an update of the Edmonds Comprehensive Plan which was
completed in March, 2005.
Currently, the City is evaluating potential updates to one of the downtown zones - the
BD1 zone - to consider providing additional detail to the design standards and design
review process for this important part of the city's downtown retail core. The current
proposal is set for a public hearing before the Edmonds Planning Board on Wednesday,
February 13, 2008 at the City Council Chamber, 250 5th Ave N, in Downtown Edmonds.
The proposal does not change the uses permitted in the zone, nor is there any change in
zoning for any of the properties involved. What the proposal would do is add some
design standards for new construction within the established BD1 zone and potentially
mean that more design changes would have to be reviewed by the city’s Architectural
Design Board (ADB). The details of the proposal can be found online at the City of
Edmonds website under issues being studied by the Planning Board, located at
http://www.ci.edmonds.wa.us/pb_issues.htm.

PROPOSALS BEING CONSIDERED
BY THE EDMONDS PLANNING BOARD
ON DESIGN REVIEW FOR THE DOWNTOWN BD1 ZONE
(THE “HERITAGE CENTER OF EDMONDS”)
PURPOSE
The purpose of establishing the Heritage Center of Edmonds (the area currently
zoned BD1) is to preserve and continue the historic architectural character of this
area. Establishing Historic Design Standards for new and renovated structures
in this area will help promote and support a vibrant retail environment in the
center of the downtown core. Approved Historic Design Standards will provide a
foundation for all future development in the Heritage Center of Edmonds (BD1)
and a mechanism to involve members of the Historic Preservation Commission in
the design review process. The Heritage Center of Edmonds will promote
economic vitality by increasing property values and encouraging heritage
tourism.
In support of this purpose, the Commission requests that the City Council forward these
recommendations to the Planning Board, and that the Commission be allowed to work
with the Planning Board to develop a final set of code amendments for City Council
consideration.
The Commission’s RECOMMENDATIONS are summarized below, by subject.
RENAME THE BD1 ZONE
The BD1 zone should be renamed to something more descriptive, to reflect its historic
roots. Names such as “Historic Downtown Center” or “Historic Center of Edmonds” or
“Heritage Center of Edmonds” have been suggested. For the time being, this area shall
be referred to as the “Heritage Center of Edmonds” for reference.
DEVELOP DESIGN STANDARDS
Adopt the attached “Design Standards for Building Design” for use as design standards
in the Heritage Center of Edmonds.
THRESHOLD FOR DESIGN REVIEW
Because of the importance of the public streetscape in the Heritage Center of Edmonds,
SEPA shall not be the sole standard triggering the ADB’s hearing process. Instead, any
project which has the potential to have a significant impact on the pedestrian streetscape
shall undergo full ADB review. The threshold for design review should be exterior
changes that deviate from exterior design and are visible from adjacent streets or
avenues. Changes that modify the existing exterior character would require design
review by the Architectural Design Board (ADB). Repair and maintenance projects that
EHPC Recommendation/2007.05.10 Page 1
Packet Page 450 of 509
replace “like for like” would not require design review by the ADB. Also, interior
changes that do not affect the exterior appearance of the building shall be exempt.
DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS
The Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission should review and prepare a
recommendation on projects proposed within the BD1 zone, and have a
representative(s) of the EHPC present the recommendations to the ADB during the ADB
review meeting.
APPLICATIONS FOR ADB REVIEW
For projects requiring ADB review within the Heritage Center of Edmonds, applicants
will need to provide all of the materials typically required for ADB review, including :
• A brief description of the project and the surrounding streetscape (neighboring
buildings, setbacks, heights and rooflines).
• Blueprints to include plan, elevation and section drawings. Include window design,
signs and exterior lighting.
• Detailed drawings or 3-dimensional model of new/altered architectural features and
trim are required.
• A description and samples of building materials including types of windows,
roofing and siding. (Applicant must include an actual color chart or color samples.)
• Photographs of nearby building facades, rooflines and streetscape will be required. If
a historic rehabilitation or alteration, photos from the Edmonds Historic
Preservation Commission would be helpful.
DEMOLITION
Demolition permits may not be issued for up to sixty days while the Edmonds Historic
Preservation Commission works with the applicant to explore alternatives to
demolition.
INCENTIVES
Create incentives to preserve existing structures. These might include: the waiving or
reducing of permit fees, the expediting of permit approvals, and a relaxing of building
standards to allow the ability to go outside the existing building’s envelope to promote
preservation of buildings which are on the Edmonds Register Of Historical Places.
As alternative to ADB design review, buildings on an historic register or city-approved
historic survey (e.g. the recently completed BOLA survey of the downtown area) could
opt to deviate from any of the BD1 design standards if it received a “certificate of
appropriateness” from the Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission (EHPC). In
other words, “historic” buildings would have an alternate design approval process
available to them through the EHPC.

outside the building, and therefore
should not be mirrored or use darkly
tinted glass.
3. Where transparency is not
provided, the façade shall comply
with the guidelines under the
section ‘Treating Blank Walls’.
4. All-residential buildings 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’.

Treating Blank Walls
Intent:
To ensure that buildings do not
display blank, unattractive walls to
the abutting street.
Guidelines:
1. Walls or portions of walls on
abutting streets or visible from
residential areas where windows
are not provided shall have
architectural treatment (see
guidelines under section
‘Transparency’). At least four of the
following elements shall be
incorporated into any ground floor,
street-facing façade:
a. Masonry (except for flat
concrete block)
Buildings shall not display blank,
unattractive walls to the abutting street.
b. Concrete or masonry plinth at
the base of the wall
c. Belt courses of a different
texture and color
d. Projecting cornice
e. Projecting metal canopy
f. Decorative tilework
g. Trellis containing planting
h. Medallions
i. Opaque or translucent glass
j. Artwork or wall graphics
k. Vertical articulation
l. Lighting fixtures
m. An architectural element not
listed above, as approved, that
meets the intent.

(continued)
2. For buildings having residential
units on the ground floor,
landscaping — including hanging
baskets or planter boxes — and
other street-level façade
enhancements shall be required to
integrate the building with the
streetscape. This requirement is
considered to satisfy one of the
four elements required in (1)
above.
Building Rooftop Equipment
Intent:
To ensure that HVAC equipment,
elevators, and other rooftop
features are designed to be a part
of the overall building design and
do not detract from the
streetscape.
Rooftop equipment should be
screened from view.
Guidelines:
1. Rooftop HVAC equipment,
elevators and other rooftop
features should be designed to fit
in with the materials and colors of
the overall building design. These
features should be located away
from the building edges to avoid
their being seen from the street
below. Building design should use
screening, decoration, plantings
(e.g. rooftop gardens), or other
techniques to integrate these
features with the design of the
building.

4. REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION FROM THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
ON DOWNTOWN DESIGN STANDARDS.
(Councilmember Plunkett joined the Council via telephone for this item.)
Planning Manager Rob Chave explained the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) met with the
Council in February 2007 where additions to the downtown design were discussed, particularly for the
BD1 zone, the retail corridor. After further work, the HPC has presented an outline of their ideas to the
Council. Many of the concepts are not yet detailed but the HPC is attempting to indicate their intent. He
contrasted this with the design guidelines the HPC developed based on Mark Hinshaw’s work with the
Council in 2005. The HPC’s intent is to work with the Planning Board to develop potential amendments
to development standards, codes, etc. that would be presented to the Council. He noted the amendments
would require public hearings at the Planning Board and City Council. Tonight’s presentation was
intended to inform the Council of the direction in which they were proceeding. He referred to City
Attorney Scott Snyder’s memo that indicated the Architectural Design Board (ADB) should be included
in the discussion. He anticipated the ADB would be involved in developing the amendments.
Mr. Chave reviewed the HPC’s report:
• Purpose section - add a purpose section to describe the intent.
• Rename the BD1 zone - Heritage Center of Edmonds. He explained the interim name captured
three concepts, 1) Edmonds, 2) the area as the center and identity of Edmonds, and 3) the heritage
of the BD1.
• Develop Design Standards - words and pictures describing characteristics in detail. He noted
these were labeled guidelines but the HPC wants them adopted as standards that every
building/project in the BD1 would be required to meet.
• Threshold for Design Review - The HPC feels the traditional standard that requires an ADB
hearing, exceeding the SEPA threshold, was too high as there could be significant impacts on
historical buildings via renovations that did not meet SEPA. He noted the standard must be
specific and could not be vague or unpredictable. Another concern is not capturing too many
projects due to time delays caused by ADB review. He noted the goal was to balance the process
to ensure the designs were what the City wanted to achieve without unduly burdening the process.
• Design Review Process - The HPC recommends having two HPC members on the ADB when
projects specifically located in the Heritage District/BD1 are reviewed. The HPC feels their
expertise in historic buildings would be helpful to the ADB.
• Applications for ADB Review - This section contains the features the HPC feels are important
and should be considered in the review. He noted most of these items were consistent with the
changes in the design review process with the exception of color. He stated review of color was
usually done via historic districts as color was often identified with a particular point in time.
Historic districts typically adopt a pallet of colors used during a particular historic period. The
challenge for downtown Edmonds would be to determine that historic pallet because multiple
pallets for multiple points in time would make regulation difficult.
• Demolition - The HPC recommends a waiting period before a building could be demolished. He
noted there would be no power to prevent the demolition but the intent was to provide time for
the HPC to work with the owner or prospective purchaser regarding adaptive reuse opportunities,
identifying a different buyer, etc. He noted this technique had been used in historical districts in
other communities and was often successful. He clarified the HPC was not advocating a waiting
period for all demolition, only significant demolition.

• Incentives - The HPC was interested in developing incentives for preserving structures and
providing a break for property owners trying to do the right thing via more flexible building
codes, reduced permit fees, streamlined processing, etc.
• EHPC Participation in the Process - The HPC wants to work with the Planning Board and ADB
in an effort to develop language that could be adopted as code amendments.
Councilmember Orvis referred to the incentives section and the language that buildings on the Edmonds
Register of Historic Places be allowed to go outside the existing building’s envelope. He anticipated the
only way this could occur would be to increase the building’s height. He asked whether this would be
addressed by the non-conforming regulations that the Planning Board was currently reviewing. Mr.
Chave answered that was largely true but the HPC was concerned with providing enough flexibility for
unusual circumstances that would maintain the character of a building and enhance its viability.
Mr. Snyder advised the Planning Board would be discussing the non-conforming use provisions in the
context of adaptive reuse at their next meeting. He provided examples such as limitations on the amount
of glass due to the new energy codes. The intent was to review building code requirements that were not
health safety related that could be altered in order to make the retention of an existing building more
economically attractive/viable - to provide incentives to retain a building rather than demolish it.
Councilmember Wambolt did not want this to be a way to increase heights. Mr. Chave assured that was
not the intent and that would not be expected from the HPC. Mr. Snyder commented assuming the public
liked Edmonds the way it was, the intent was to encourage property owners to retain those buildings.
Councilmember Marin spoke in favor of forwarding the HPC’s recommendations to the Planning Board.
He noted although there were a number of interesting old buildings downtown that should be retained,
there were no grand, architecturally significant buildings as compared to Fairhaven or Port Townsend for
example. He recalled discussions in the past few years that highlighted the importance of maintaining a
vital downtown retail core and was satisfied the HPC’s proposal met that intent. He was not opposed to
the name “Heritage Center” but did not want the concept of maintaining a vital downtown retail core to be
overlooked. He referred to old buildings that had been architecturally enhanced and improved,
commenting he viewed the design guidelines as a method of improving the downtown core.
Councilmember Dawson referred to Mr. Snyder’s memo, pointing out there were few truly historic
buildings downtown but there were many buildings that added a feeling, character and charm to
downtown that because it had been developed over time, could not be recreated artificially. She spoke in
favor of developing incentives that encouraged the retention and restoration of existing buildings,
remarking without incentives, it may not be economically feasible to retain an existing building, making it
more attractive for a developer to demolish it. She suggested expanding the definition of what the HPC
was trying to preserve. She found heritage rather than historic appropriate for the downtown core.
Councilmember Dawson was intrigued by having an HPC member serve temporarily on the ADB when
reviewing buildings in the downtown area and asked whether that was done in other areas. Mr. Chave
answered he was not aware of any other cities that had a difference in membership on the ADB depending
on the location of the project. It was more common to have a separate board for each district. Mr. Snyder
pointed out the definition of the ADB membership included architects, landscape engineers, etc.;
therefore, it was consistent to have members with different expertise. Mr. Chave commented an
alternative may be to change the requirement for the ADB to include a member with historic expertise.
Councilmember Orvis proposed a scenario of a 35-foot tall historic building that had no elevator; the
property owner wanted to restore it and add an elevator which would require the addition of a penthouse.
Packet Page 474 of 509
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
May 22, 2007
Page 6
Under the non-conforming provisions that would not be allowed because the building would not be
allowed to go higher than five feet for an elevator. Mr. Chave noted the intent was to make retaining the
building viable. Mr. Snyder clarified life and safety requirements could not be waived nor accessibility
requirements.
Council President Olson asked whether the ADB would be involved before the proposal was presented to
the Planning Board. Mr. Chave envisioned an initial presentation/discussion with the Planning Board and
then a meeting with representatives from both groups. He noted the entire Board members did not
necessarily need to be present; they could designate a few members from each to meet.
Council President Olson asked whether the Planning Board would hold a public hearing. Mr. Chave
answered yes as amendments to the development code required a public hearing. The Council would also
hold a public hearing.
Councilmember Marin remarked Councilmember Orvis’ scenario regarding the addition of an elevator
was a remote possibility. He supported Councilmember Dawson’s comments regarding providing
incentives to preserve buildings. He recommended establishing sufficient flexibility so that a property
owner would feel they had a chance when asking for a deviation while making sure they were carefully
worded so that the result was not an increase in building heights downtown.
Mayor Haakenson advised Councilmember Plunkett was having difficulty hearing the Council via
telephone and was satisfied with the HPC’s outline proceeding to the Planning Board. It was the
consensus of the Council for the HPC to proceed to the Planning Board.
5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, advised the court’s consideration of the Old Woodway Elementary School
demolition, case #07-2-03222-1 was continued to May 25 at 9:00 a.m. The judge has indicated he plans
to make a final decision at that time. Next, Mr. Rutledge urged Council to discuss term limits for the
Mayor prior to January 1, noting the legislature planned to consider term limits during the next session.
Mr. Rutledge then commented on past population increases, pointing out the population in 1963 was
19,273, it was 29,720 in 1989 and was forecast to be 37,000 by 2010 and 40,000 by 2015. He concluded
growth had been greater than expected due in part to annexations.
Steve Bernheim, Edmonds, displayed a bag of incandescent light bulbs that as a result of Mayor
Haakenson’s proclamation he replaced with compact florescent bulbs that use one fourth the electricity.
He noted florescent bulbs paid for themselves within 9-18 months and the bulbs last ten years. He
displayed a chart of his household energy use that he tracked using his energy bills that illustrated during
the last year the daily kilowatt use. He summarized his household’s daily energy use was 12 kilowatt
hours per day or ½ kilowatt per hour which was the equivalent of leaving five 100 watt light bulbs on 24
hours per day which he noted was very low. He urged the public to look at their electric meters and try to
make them stop.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to Council discussion regarding Wi-Fi and his conversation with
Administrative Services Director Dan Clements regarding Edmonds’ ability to capture that system. He
asked what the City would do with the system once it was in place, suggesting the City move forward
cautiously. He urged Council to read and discuss the article in today’s Everett Herald. Next, he
expressed concern with Bob Gregg’s offer to settle his lawsuit in exchange for something he wanted from
the City. He recalled when Mr. Gregg was seeking approval for the Old Milltown project the second
time, he stated he would cancel the lawsuit if he got what he wanted, which he apparently had not done.
He acknowledged there likely had been discussion in Executive Session about the lawsuit and now there

Mr. Banasek thanked the Council for the opportunity to serve on the Arts Commission. Mayor

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

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

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

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 479 of 509

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 480 of 509

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.

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

4. REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION FROM THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
ON DOWNTOWN DESIGN STANDARDS.
(Councilmember Plunkett joined the Council via telephone for this item.)
Planning Manager Rob Chave explained the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) met with the
Council in February 2007 where additions to the downtown design were discussed, particularly for the
BD1 zone, the retail corridor. After further work, the HPC has presented an outline of their ideas to the
Council. Many of the concepts are not yet detailed but the HPC is attempting to indicate their intent. He
contrasted this with the design guidelines the HPC developed based on Mark Hinshaw’s work with the
Council in 2005. The HPC’s intent is to work with the Planning Board to develop potential amendments
to development standards, codes, etc. that would be presented to the Council. He noted the amendments
would require public hearings at the Planning Board and City Council. Tonight’s presentation was
intended to inform the Council of the direction in which they were proceeding. He referred to City
Attorney Scott Snyder’s memo that indicated the Architectural Design Board (ADB) should be included
in the discussion. He anticipated the ADB would be involved in developing the amendments.
Mr. Chave reviewed the HPC’s report:
• Purpose section - add a purpose section to describe the intent.
• Rename the BD1 zone - Heritage Center of Edmonds. He explained the interim name captured
three concepts, 1) Edmonds, 2) the area as the center and identity of Edmonds, and 3) the heritage
of the BD1.
• Develop Design Standards - words and pictures describing characteristics in detail. He noted
these were labeled guidelines but the HPC wants them adopted as standards that every
building/project in the BD1 would be required to meet.
• Threshold for Design Review - The HPC feels the traditional standard that requires an ADB
hearing, exceeding the SEPA threshold, was too high as there could be significant impacts on
historical buildings via renovations that did not meet SEPA. He noted the standard must be
specific and could not be vague or unpredictable. Another concern is not capturing too many
projects due to time delays caused by ADB review. He noted the goal was to balance the process
to ensure the designs were what the City wanted to achieve without unduly burdening the process.
• Design Review Process - The HPC recommends having two HPC members on the ADB when
projects specifically located in the Heritage District/BD1 are reviewed. The HPC feels their
expertise in historic buildings would be helpful to the ADB.
• Applications for ADB Review - This section contains the features the HPC feels are important
and should be considered in the review. He noted most of these items were consistent with the
changes in the design review process with the exception of color. He stated review of color was
usually done via historic districts as color was often identified with a particular point in time.
Historic districts typically adopt a pallet of colors used during a particular historic period. The
challenge for downtown Edmonds would be to determine that historic pallet because multiple
pallets for multiple points in time would make regulation difficult.
• Demolition - The HPC recommends a waiting period before a building could be demolished. He
noted there would be no power to prevent the demolition but the intent was to provide time for
the HPC to work with the owner or prospective purchaser regarding adaptive reuse opportunities,
identifying a different buyer, etc. He noted this technique had been used in historical districts in
other communities and was often successful. He clarified the HPC was not advocating a waiting
period for all demolition, only significant demolition.

• Incentives - The HPC was interested in developing incentives for preserving structures and
providing a break for property owners trying to do the right thing via more flexible building
codes, reduced permit fees, streamlined processing, etc.
• EHPC Participation in the Process - The HPC wants to work with the Planning Board and ADB
in an effort to develop language that could be adopted as code amendments.
Councilmember Orvis referred to the incentives section and the language that buildings on the Edmonds
Register of Historic Places be allowed to go outside the existing building’s envelope. He anticipated the
only way this could occur would be to increase the building’s height. He asked whether this would be
addressed by the non-conforming regulations that the Planning Board was currently reviewing. Mr.
Chave answered that was largely true but the HPC was concerned with providing enough flexibility for
unusual circumstances that would maintain the character of a building and enhance its viability.
Mr. Snyder advised the Planning Board would be discussing the non-conforming use provisions in the
context of adaptive reuse at their next meeting. He provided examples such as limitations on the amount
of glass due to the new energy codes. The intent was to review building code requirements that were not
health safety related that could be altered in order to make the retention of an existing building more
economically attractive/viable - to provide incentives to retain a building rather than demolish it.
Councilmember Wambolt did not want this to be a way to increase heights. Mr. Chave assured that was
not the intent and that would not be expected from the HPC. Mr. Snyder commented assuming the public
liked Edmonds the way it was, the intent was to encourage property owners to retain those buildings.
Councilmember Marin spoke in favor of forwarding the HPC’s recommendations to the Planning Board.
He noted although there were a number of interesting old buildings downtown that should be retained,
there were no grand, architecturally significant buildings as compared to Fairhaven or Port Townsend for
example. He recalled discussions in the past few years that highlighted the importance of maintaining a
vital downtown retail core and was satisfied the HPC’s proposal met that intent. He was not opposed to
the name “Heritage Center” but did not want the concept of maintaining a vital downtown retail core to be
overlooked. He referred to old buildings that had been architecturally enhanced and improved,
commenting he viewed the design guidelines as a method of improving the downtown core.
Councilmember Dawson referred to Mr. Snyder’s memo, pointing out there were few truly historic
buildings downtown but there were many buildings that added a feeling, character and charm to
downtown that because it had been developed over time, could not be recreated artificially. She spoke in
favor of developing incentives that encouraged the retention and restoration of existing buildings,
remarking without incentives, it may not be economically feasible to retain an existing building, making it
more attractive for a developer to demolish it. She suggested expanding the definition of what the HPC
was trying to preserve. She found heritage rather than historic appropriate for the downtown core.
Councilmember Dawson was intrigued by having an HPC member serve temporarily on the ADB when
reviewing buildings in the downtown area and asked whether that was done in other areas. Mr. Chave
answered he was not aware of any other cities that had a difference in membership on the ADB depending
on the location of the project. It was more common to have a separate board for each district. Mr. Snyder
pointed out the definition of the ADB membership included architects, landscape engineers, etc.;
therefore, it was consistent to have members with different expertise. Mr. Chave commented an
alternative may be to change the requirement for the ADB to include a member with historic expertise.
Councilmember Orvis proposed a scenario of a 35-foot tall historic building that had no elevator; the
property owner wanted to restore it and add an elevator which would require the addition of a penthouse.
Packet Page 484 of 509
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
May 22, 2007
Page 6
Under the non-conforming provisions that would not be allowed because the building would not be
allowed to go higher than five feet for an elevator. Mr. Chave noted the intent was to make retaining the
building viable. Mr. Snyder clarified life and safety requirements could not be waived nor accessibility
requirements.
Council President Olson asked whether the ADB would be involved before the proposal was presented to
the Planning Board. Mr. Chave envisioned an initial presentation/discussion with the Planning Board and
then a meeting with representatives from both groups. He noted the entire Board members did not
necessarily need to be present; they could designate a few members from each to meet.
Council President Olson asked whether the Planning Board would hold a public hearing. Mr. Chave
answered yes as amendments to the development code required a public hearing. The Council would also
hold a public hearing.
Councilmember Marin remarked Councilmember Orvis’ scenario regarding the addition of an elevator
was a remote possibility. He supported Councilmember Dawson’s comments regarding providing
incentives to preserve buildings. He recommended establishing sufficient flexibility so that a property
owner would feel they had a chance when asking for a deviation while making sure they were carefully
worded so that the result was not an increase in building heights downtown.
Mayor Haakenson advised Councilmember Plunkett was having difficulty hearing the Council via
telephone and was satisfied with the HPC’s outline proceeding to the Planning Board. It was the
consensus of the Council for the HPC to proceed to the Planning Board.
5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, advised the court’s consideration of the Old Woodway Elementary School
demolition, case #07-2-03222-1 was continued to May 25 at 9:00 a.m. The judge has indicated he plans
to make a final decision at that time. Next, Mr. Rutledge urged Council to discuss term limits for the
Mayor prior to January 1, noting the legislature planned to consider term limits during the next session.
Mr. Rutledge then commented on past population increases, pointing out the population in 1963 was
19,273, it was 29,720 in 1989 and was forecast to be 37,000 by 2010 and 40,000 by 2015. He concluded
growth had been greater than expected due in part to annexations.
Steve Bernheim, Edmonds, displayed a bag of incandescent light bulbs that as a result of Mayor
Haakenson’s proclamation he replaced with compact florescent bulbs that use one fourth the electricity.
He noted florescent bulbs paid for themselves within 9-18 months and the bulbs last ten years. He
displayed a chart of his household energy use that he tracked using his energy bills that illustrated during
the last year the daily kilowatt use. He summarized his household’s daily energy use was 12 kilowatt
hours per day or ½ kilowatt per hour which was the equivalent of leaving five 100 watt light bulbs on 24
hours per day which he noted was very low. He urged the public to look at their electric meters and try to
make them stop.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to Council discussion regarding Wi-Fi and his conversation with
Administrative Services Director Dan Clements regarding Edmonds’ ability to capture that system. He
asked what the City would do with the system once it was in place, suggesting the City move forward
cautiously. He urged Council to read and discuss the article in today’s Everett Herald. Next, he
expressed concern with Bob Gregg’s offer to settle his lawsuit in exchange for something he wanted from
the City. He recalled when Mr. Gregg was seeking approval for the Old Milltown project the second
time, he stated he would cancel the lawsuit if he got what he wanted, which he apparently had not done.
He acknowledged there likely had been discussion in Executive Session about the lawsuit and now there

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

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

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 488 of 509

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 489 of 509

February 27, 2007

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 490 of 509

February 27, 2007

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.

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

Council President Dawson proposed the step-back rules in the BD1 be consistent with the step back rules
in the other areas so that the building did not have the appearance of additional height. Her concern was
that there was the ability in the BD1 to have buildings that are and appear to be taller than the rest of
downtown, something she found surprising in the fountain square area. She referred to staff’s note in the
packet that as an alternative to a 28-foot height limit in the BD1 zone and to address the concern about the
interaction of slope and building height, the Council could establish a step-back rule for the BD1 zone,
requiring a step-back for any portion of the building that exceeded 30 feet above the street or 30 feet
above average grade. Although she was still uncomfortable with a 30-foot building height, she found this
an acceptable compromise.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT DAWSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS, TO
ADD THE BD1 ZONE TO THE STEP-BACK RULES IN 16.43.030.C.3.
Councilmember Marin advised he would support the amendment but did not believe it would ever be
used as that area was fairly level.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Wambolt pointed out 16.43.030.C.2 had to be changed as the existing wording, the
maximum height may be increased to 30 feet when the ground floor is at least 15 feet in height, was
misleading because the ground floor in the BD1 was required to be 15 feet. Mr. Chave explained the
reason it was worded that way was the base height was 25 feet. Mr. Snyder pointed out that wording was
necessary to prevent an existing building that was remodeled less than 50% of its value from increasing
the building height without increasing the first floor height.
MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED (6-1), COUNCIL PRESIDENT DAWSON OPPOSED.
COUNCILMEMBER MARIN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, TO
DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE FOR COUNCIL ADOPTION
TO LIFT THE MORATORIUM ON CERTAIN DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS IN THE BC
ZONE.
Citing the Council’s recent quasi judicial review of a building that many people had feelings about and
the Council’s inability to overturn the ADB’s recommendation based on historical character because the
City’s standards relied on the term “sensitive” which was a general term and difficult to enforce,
Councilmember Orvis suggested the Council begin a process that involved the Historical Preservation
Commission (HPC) to develop historical standards for buildings in the BD1 zone.
Mayor Haakenson suggested Councilmember Orvis’ concept would need to be separate from the current
moratorium. Councilmember Orvis was concerned with lifting the moratorium on the BD1, expressing
interest in a moratorium on development in the BD1 until a historical review process could be developed
to ensure new buildings in BD1 zone had a historical flavor via either maintaining the existing historical
building or redeveloped to look like a historical building. Mayor Haakenson suggested the proper process
would be to lift the current moratorium and adopt a new moratorium on the BD1 zone for historical
purposes.
Mr. Snyder suggested if the motion passed, another motion could be made directing him to draft another
moratorium on the BD1 zone. He pointed out that would be a broader moratorium; the one proposed to
be lifted was only on development over 25 feet. Mayor Haakenson asked how long the City could
continue to have a moratorium. Mr. Snyder answered it had been a long time, a duration he was not
comfortable with. He suggested lifting the current moratorium and as Councilmember Orvis described,
Packet Page 493 of 509
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
December 12, 2006
Page 13
establish a moratorium on the issuance of all building permits for new construction and demolition
permits in the downtown area.
Council President Dawson asked when the current moratorium ended. City Clerk Sandy Chase advised it
had been extended recently and expired May 17. Mayor Haakenson explained Councilmember Marin’s
motion was to repeal the current moratorium; Councilmember Orvis’ suggestion was for a different
moratorium with a different legislative rationale.
MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCIL PRESIDENT DAWSON OPPOSED.
Councilmember Orvis explained his hope was that the Council would direct the HPC to develop
ordinances to hold buildings in the BD1 to tighter historical standards than currently existed; the
moratorium would protect the buildings in the BD1 zone until the ordinances could be adopted. He
hoped this could be done in a timely manner so that the moratorium would be short lived.
COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT DAWSON,
THAT THE COUNCIL DIRECT THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION TO
DEVELOP ORDINANCES THAT HOLD BUILDINGS TO TIGHTER HISTORICAL
STANDARDS.
Councilmember Moore commented she did not understand what the tighter historical standards would be
and again, this suggestion needed public input. She pointed out a moratorium was a very serious thing
and she did not believe anyone would file an application for a building in the BD1 because of the
restrictions the Council placed on that zone. She emphasized the term “historic” needed to be defined
before a moratorium was adopted as historic was something more than nostalgic.
Council President Dawson clarified the motion was for the HPC to begin working on historic standards
and did not include a moratorium. She supported the concept of historic preservation downtown to ensure
the buildings the community believed were historic were preserved. She expressed her support for the
motion.
Mayor Haakenson assumed whatever the HPC developed would be forwarded to the Planning Board for
their consideration. Council President Dawson agreed it would have to be reviewed by the Planning
Board.
Councilmember Moore commented she misunderstood the motion to include a moratorium.
Councilmember Orvis commented that would be his next motion.
Councilmember Plunkett agreed specific language needed to be developed so that the community was
satisfied that new construction and remodeled structures met historic standards that reflected the character
and the will of the community. That could be achieved via the HPC developing language for input by the
Council and review and hearings by the Planning Board. He expressed his support for the motion.
Councilmember Marin commented the work of the HPC to date made it optional for the property owner
to have their building declared historic and providing the owner with options. He was hesitant to support
the motion as worded in the fear it would lock owners in and tell them what they could/could not do with
their building.
Councilmember Plunkett commented the intent of the motion was not to establish an historic district such
as Pioneer Square in downtown Seattle. He agreed the only process for historic structures today was
voluntary; the motion addressed specific design guidelines so that new construction or a remodel would
meet the intent of sensitive to historic character.

Page 14
Councilmember Moore commented the Council still had not passed design guidelines although they had
been a Council priority for some time. She questioned how a process to develop historic design
guidelines would be dovetailed with the design guidelines that were already in process. Councilmember
Plunkett was hopeful they would dovetail, that would be a good objective. The HPC’s objective would be
to move as fast as possible.
For Councilmember Moore, Mr. Chave advised the Planning Board was holding a hearing tomorrow
night. Councilmember Moore envisioned those design guidelines would come to the Council before the
HPC could begin their work and if the HPC developed historic design guidelines, the process would need
to begin again.
Councilmember Wambolt indicated he would support the motion due to his belief the issue of historic
buildings needed to be reviewed because most citizens had a different ideas of what it meant – they
believed historic buildings were protected and that the owner could not demolish a building designated as
historic.
Councilmember Orvis agreed it would be preferable if the processes dovetailed. If a conflict arose
between the design guidelines, his preference would be to side with the historic standards due to the
importance of preserving the historic nature of downtown. He pointed out the importance of the City’s
historical character to economic development.
Councilmember Moore agreed with better defining historic standards. She pointed out the downtown had
been developed over decades and only a few buildings could be identified as having a historic look. She
would support the motion so that the HPC could hear from the public what they believed was historic and
why.
Councilmember Olson recommended this effort be fast-tracked and incorporated into the design
guidelines currently being processed.
Mr. Snyder pointed out the motion did not refer to a specific zone. Councilmember Orvis advised his
intent was to limit it to the BD1 zone. Mr. Snyder inquired whether his intent was only architectural
features. Councilmember Orvis clarified his intent was an open-ended process for the HPC to determine
how the history of downtown could be preserved.
Councilmember Marin questioned what date would be frozen as “historic.” He pointed out in Pioneer
Square, there were a sufficient number of buildings constructed in that era that satisfied an architectural
style and it was appropriate to freeze that time. Conversely, Edmonds’ downtown has evolved over a
long period of time. He objected to freezing buildings that were no longer viable. Mayor Haakenson
clarified the motion was for the HPC to study historic buildings and what historic buildings mean and
make a recommendation to the Planning Board.
Mr. Chave commented if the Council charged the HPC with analyzing options for preserving downtown,
there were many different options. He suggested the HPC decide on an approach and present it to the
Council before forwarding it to the Planning Board to develop ordinances.
Mayor Haakenson restated the motion as follows:
DIRECT THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION TO COME BACK TO THE
COUNCIL WITH A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING HOW THEY WOULD PROCEED
WITH HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN THE BD1 ZONE.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 22, 2007
TO: Rob Chave, Planning Manager
City of Edmonds
FROM: W. Scott Snyder, Office of the City Attorney
RE: Recommendation of Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission -- BD-1 Zone
This memo suggests items for follow up in the upcoming process.
ADB
The recommendation involves authorizing the Historic Preservation Commission members to
engage in a process with the Planning Board to create design guidelines for the BD-1 or
“Heritage Center” zone. Why isn’t the Architectural Design Board involved? Given that the
ADB has developed the majority of design guidelines throughout the City, their assistance,
particularly to ensure consistency, seems appropriate.
Legislative Findings
The purpose clause in the recommendation refers to the “historic architectural character” of the
area. My understanding is that there are a limited number of truly historic structures in the area.
Given the potential for legal challenge to an ordinance of this type, it would be helpful to me if
the legislative record identified the particular structures or characteristics of the area, as well as
its “street scape.”
Similarly, a careful and detailed description and definition of the “surrounding street scapes” is
necessary. Of particular interest to me in the process will be the identification of which
structures have a historic character or other architectural feature which should be integrated in
the design of new remodeled buildings. One example is the unutilized or underutilized lots on
5th east of Dayton. Is it the intent of the Commission that these underutilized properties be
considered when evaluating the street scape?

{WSS662105.DOC;1/00006.900000/}
The findings also indicate that the Center will “promote an economic vitality by increasing
property values and encouraging heritage for tourism.” If this statement is supported by data, it
should be included in the record. If not, let’s see what can be developed. Developing a
legislative record would be very helpful in defending the ordinance in the event of challenge.
ADB Applications
The ADB application section refers to an “actual color chart.” As you may be aware, the
Architectural Design Board moved away from color charts some time ago. The difficulty, of
course, is determining what colors are appropriate or in developing criteria, to review color.
Either portions of a color chart should be designated as appropriate and others inappropriate, or a
detailed standard developed. What must be avoided is a vague general standard, such as colors
which are “consistent with the surroundings.” Such a standard would be too open-ended for
lawful application.
Incentives
The issue of incentives is currently being brought to the Planning Board through the concept of
adaptive reuse. One of the principles of adaptive reuse is the loosening of building code
requirements to encourage continuation of use of existing structures. I suggest that the two
efforts be coordinated.

ACE Subcommittee on Downtown Core preservation:
I. Section 17.40 (Non-conforming Building Regulations),
Edmonds Municipal Code:
ACE endorses the proposed re-write of this section to the extent that it
encourages historic re-use or preserves the look, feel and charm of an
existing neighborhood.
II. Section 10.05 (Architectural Design Board), Edmonds
Municipal Code:
ACE endorses the creation of a new, separate Architectural Design Board
(ADB) consisting of 7 members. This new Downtown ADB (the “DADB”) will
review proposed development in only the “Downtown Core” area comprised
of the BD-1, the BD-5 and the Downtown Master Plan Area (i.e., old Safeway
& Harbor Square areas)1. (NOTE: Below in Part III we are attaching district specific
items we believe should be included in a new district-based Design Guidelines document and
be applied to this “Downtown Core” area.)
ACE proposes that for the new, separate Downtown Core ADB (the “DADB”):
• all members shall be appointed by the City Council except one
member appointed by the Mayor. (ACE feels the current Planning &
Development staff provide adequate representation of the Mayor’s
views in all design review processes.)
ACE further endorses that for all/both/any ADB, the following must be true:
• members shall comprise: one design professional, one builder, one
landscape professional or master gardener, one member of the
Edmonds Historic Preservation Committee, one historic preservation
professional or same-minded citizen and two lay members who have
experience in any of the above categories.
• all members must reside in the city of Edmonds.
• the Council will replace or reaffirm each member every two years, and
any member may be removed from his/her position by the City Council
and following a public hearing.
• the DADB meetings (if not also the ADB meetings) should be televised
to ensure transparency to the community and accountability in the
design review process in this historically and culturally significant part
of our city.
1 This area ultimately may grow to include zones BD2, BD3 and BD4.

DOWNTOWN CORE
DESIGN GUIDELINES
OVERVIEW:
The streetscape of these three zones is predominated by a late 19th & early 20th
century central arterial (Main Street) that is lined with businesses which leads
uphill from the waterfront, formerly an industrial area.
These late 1800s – 1930s era buildings typically feature a store on the ground
floor and, if 2 story, steps which lead to professional offices or apartments.
Those early facades were and still are generally in 3-parts and characterized by
a central (or offset) recessed entry flanked by large display windows that rested
on bulkheads.
The compact streetscapes and these welcoming, often recessed store entrances
of Edmonds contribute directly to our downtown’s reputation as a walking
community that invites neighborliness. Pedestrians and shoppers are sheltered
by horizontal simple awnings which are one of our trademarks.
The DADB and city Planning Staff, through the following district-based Downtown
Core Design Guidelines, aim to ensure that the compact streetscapes and the
safe & friendly nature of Edmonds are complemented by the protection of our
historical, cultural and natural resources. These characteristics taken together
comprise the Edmonds downtown “vernacular” architecture.
GUIDELINES (to supplement the proposed Design Guidelines document and to
be then applied to the “Downtown Core” area):
Walk or drive slowly by your building or site on the most commonly used route. Analyze the visual
impact your planned development (or redevelopment) will have on the buildings, the site, landscape,
streetscape and on our city at large.
1. The Downtown Core Architectural Design Board (“DADB”) and Planning
Staff shall offer property owners technical and professional guidance in
adapting and changing both residential and commercial structures to meet
the demands of modern life while simultaneously preserving their
significant original qualities - - pertaining to either the rehabilitation of an
existing building or to an undeveloped site’s original significant qualities.
Packet Page 500 of 509
2. To encourage and guard our lively streets environment and to maintain
pedestrian-friendly streetscapes, all streetscape designs shall bring
together the following elements: cohesiveness in design, compactness,
social interaction and be compatible with the rhythm, flow and pattern of
neighboring building facades, setbacks and orientation.
3. The DADB and Planning Staff will pay particular attention to re-
development plans for a building or site with identifiable historic value or
features.
4. New construction is welcomed and adds to the diversity of the downtown
core and, therefore, to the city at large. Moreover, these downtown core
design guidelines are not meant to encourage period-specific or a “theme”
approach to new construction. However, even within the current diversity
in our downtown area there are patterns, textures and rhythms which
exist, and new construction design must be found by the DADB and
Planning Staff to be compatible with and add value to the immediate
neighborhood.
5. All design proposals that contain large, unbroken horizontal or vertical
facades shall be denied approval by the DADB. Instead, design proposals
shall break up expanses into smaller pieces that relate to the rhythms and
scale of the 1890s-1930s, the “vernacular” architecture of our downtown
core.
6. Any rehabilitation, alteration or new construction must be compatible with
the character-defining features (singly and in combination) that distinguish
the surrounding neighborhood and streetscapes, the “vernacular”
downtown Edmonds architecture.
7. All distinguishing, original qualities or character of an historic building,
structure, site or its environ shall not be destroyed or obscured.
Packet Page 501 of 509
8. Proposed new roofs or changes to existing roofs shall be compatible in
form, scale, materials and orientation with the surrounding rooflines.
9. The DADB and Planning Staff shall strive to present affordable and
achievable methods for the rehabilitation & alteration of existing structures
as well as for new construction in order to preserve the rhythms, texture
and patterns found in the “vernacular” downtown architecture.
10. (The city should offer financial assistance in the form of permit fee
waivers, tax incentives, etc. to encourage property owners to maintain and
reuse current downtown core buildings with historic or significant
features.)
11. Signage is an important design element that affects both the visual
character of the area as well as the viability of its businesses. Signs
should not interrupt or overlap architectural features such as cornices,
columns or trim, and should be oriented to pedestrians in size and shape.
Wood is the preferred material for signs on historic structures. All signage
color and materials shall be compatible with surrounding buildings and
streetscapes.
12. Satellite dishes, fuel tanks, generators, heating & air conditioning units,
electrical boxes and other such devices must be unobtrusively situated so
they will not be visible from the public thoroughfare and shall be screened
where feasible.
13. Parking areas shall be made visually unobtrusive and shall be located to
the rear of buildings if feasible or else visually screened from public
walkways.
Packet Page 502 of 509
DOWNTOWN CORE SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS:
1. Brief description of new project and surrounding streetscape
(neighboring buildings, setbacks, heights & rooflines)
2. Site plan to include location of existing buildings, location of additions or
new buildings, the location of utilities and links to bike paths, the Arts
Corridor, planned pedestrian thoroughfares and the intermodal
connections near the waterfront.
3. Blueprints to include plan, elevation and section drawings. Include
window design, signs and exterior lighting
4. Detailed drawings or 3-dimensional model of new or altered architectural
features and trim
5. Description and samples of building materials including types of
windows, roofing and siding. (You must include an actual color chart or
color samples.)
6. Photographs of nearby building facades, rooflines and streetscape (all 3).
If an historic rehabilitation or alteration, photos from the Historic
Preservation Commission will be very helpful.

The committee convened at 6:00 p.m.
A. Report on the City Park Maintenance Facility Pre-Design Study.
Noel Miller introduced the topic to make the City Council aware of some important unfunded capital
projects. Noel then introduced Mark Spitzer from the firm of Arai, Jackson, Ellison and Murakami.
Mr. Spitzer reviewed with the Committee the City Park Maintenance Building Predesign Study which
looked at various alternatives for replacing the park maintenance building at City Park. This building
was constructed 40 years ago and has reached the end of its useful life The architect pointed out a
number of deficiencies that should be corrected with a new facility. There were four alternatives with
a fifth which was a combination of two of the other possible alternatives. The recommended
alternative would create a new one story building on the existing site with a total project cost of $2.7
to $3.5 million. It would require the relocation of the park and facility maintenance operations to the
old public works building at Second and Dayton Streets in the existing unused open warehouse
space for a year while construction takes place.
ACTION: No action taken.
B. Report on the South County Senior Center Building.
Noel Miller gave some history of the Senior Center building. The city has over the years done
significant improvements to the building utilizing Community Development Block Grants (CDBG).
The biggest challenges facing the building deal with seismic and structural stability deficiencies
which could ultimately cost up to $3.5 to $4 million in 2008 dollars. Staff will continue to work with
the Senior Center Board of Directors to develop a long term capital facilities plan for the Senior
Center. The City will have to weigh the needs of this building in relationship to funding other major
capital projects needed in the City.
Council President Plunkett asked if there was such a list of unfunded projects and would staff
prepare such a list. Mayor Haakenson noted that staff had brought this item and the Parks
Maintenance Building to the committee to make sure that the Council was aware of the unfunded
projects staff is reviewing. Noel Miller indicated that staff will prepare a list of unfunded capital
projects for review by the City Council.
ACTION: Staff will prepare a list of unfunded capital projects.

C. Discussion on potential Meadowdale neighborhood annexation.
Duane Bowman provided background information on this topic. He noted that the city was
approached by a resident in the small unincorporated pocket of land lying between Lynnwood and
Edmonds on the east side of 68th Avenue West, south of Lund’s Gulch in the Meadowdale area.
The residents circulated a petition to gauge interest of the residents to determine which city they
preferred to annex to. A majority of the homes chose Edmonds. Staff contacted the City of
Lynnwood and discussed the issue. Lynnwood agrees that if the residents would prefer to be in
Edmonds they were not opposed. The next steps are for staff to look into utility issues and to draft a
joint resolution for consideration by the city councils of Edmonds and Lynnwood.
ACTION: No action taken, for information only.
D. Code Rewrite Update: Organization of Zoning Chapter, Title 16.
Rob Chave introduced this topic. The staff is currently working on the code rewrite and will soon be
working on Title 16 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) which contains the
various zoning classifications (RS, RM, CG, etc.). One consideration is to expand the use of a
technique known as “form-based zoning” in the Title 16 re-write. The benefits of using such a
technique are a more streamlined code that is easier to use and understand due to the use of
illustrations, more clearly described design standards and clear, simple language. The City has
actually been using a hybrid form of this over the past five years with the revisions in the downtown
and Highway 99 zoning where design standards were injected into the zoning code. Staff will work
with the Planning Board to refine the concept and can do a presentation to the Council if requested
ACTION: No action taken, for information only.
The Committee meeting adjourned at 6:55 p.m.

A. Report on acquisition of property next to Fire Station 16
Chief Tomberg reviewed the information contained in the Public Safety Committee Agenda
Memo (AM-1553) and responded to questions.
The subject property is addressed 8413 -196th Street SW and is immediately east of Fire Station
16. When the fire station property was acquired in 1999 the owners agreed to include in the
purchase and sale agreement the right of first refusal on the adjacent parcel. That property is
now for sale and the executor of the owners’ estate has contacted the City.
Mayor Haakenson, a Council member in 1999, confirmed the purpose of inserting the right of
first refusal in the sale agreement was to acquire the property for Fire Department use. The
intended use included construction on a training facility and relocating Fire Administration from
the third floor of City Hall.
Acquiring the property for Fire Department use is not in the most current version of the annual
Capital Improvement Plan because it was uncertain if/when the property owners would elect to
offer the property for sale, and if not their decision, if/when the executor of the estate would
choose to do so. The executor has chosen to do so.
The property’s location adjacent to Station 16 makes it the best available option for potentially
building the training facility and re-locating Fire Administration. Acquiring the property is the first
incremental step in the process.
In response to a question, Chief Tomberg and IAFF Union President Hoover confirmed
relocating Fire Administration would address service delivery inefficiencies and lack of sufficient
space at City Hall the Department has dealt with since 1995.
Lamb Hanson Lamb Appraiser Associates, Inc. delivered a property appraisal to the City. The
18,295 square foot property is zoned Rm-2.4. The final market value is appraised at $495,000.
The site value, based on the construction of seven multifamily units, is appraised at $505,000.
By law the City is required to pay fair market value for the property.
The Fire Department has identified potential funding sources for debt service if the property is
acquired: (1) EMS levy; (2) annual increases in contract for fire/EMS services to Woodway and
the unincorporated Esperance area; (3) a revised cost formula for provision of fire/EMS services

to Esperance. In 2015, the City will make the last of the $66,000 annual payments to
Snohomish County Fire District 1 for the 1995 acquisition of Fire Station 20.
Action: Forward for May 27 executive session to establish a purchase price.
B. Review of Police Department’s Multiyear Plan
Chief Compaan presented the Police Department’s Multiyear Plan (2008-2012) to the Public
Safety Committee. Chief Compaan noted that this document was required per the Public Safety
Element of the city’s Strategic Plan.
A discussion was held regarding provisions of the plan and the forward looking statements it
contained.
Public Safety Committee concurred with the Police Department’s request that the Multiyear Plan
be placed on the consent agenda for approval by the full council.
Action: On May 13, 2008 the Public Safety Committee met. Council Chair Dawson and
Council member Bernheim recommended the Police Department’s “Multiyear Plan (2008-2012)
be placed on the consent agenda for May 27, 2008 for approval by the full council.
