Proposed Use
Proposed Use
The applicant is proposing a new SFR at 923 Cedar Street. Before the SFR can be built, however, the
parcel must be subdivided to create a building lot for the house. 923 Cedar is a 15,363 square foot parcel
zoned Single Family Residential (RS-6), which requires a 6,000 square foot minimum lot size (Edmonds
Community Development Code Chapter 16.20). The home parcel (approximately 9,246 square feet)
would be created on the eastern portion of the lot where there is an existing house, which will remain.
The new building lot would be approximately 6,117 square feet and located west of the existing house.
Subdivisions
Subdivisions
Subdivisions must meet the requirements in ECDC 20.75, particularly ECDC 20.75.080 and .085.
Environmental Regulations
Environmental Regulations
Critical Area Determination: A critical area determination was completed for the subject parcel in 1998; a
waiver from further critical area studies was issued (CRA-1998-0115).
SEPA Review: If grading will exceed 500 cubic yards, an environmental checklist will be required.
General Development Standards
General Development Standards
Lot Area: Lots in the RS-6 zone must be a minimum of 6,000 square feet. Lot area excludes street rights-
of-way and access easements.
Lot Width: RS-6 requires a minimum lot width of 60.
Setbacks: Per ECDC 16.20.030, the RS-6 zone requires the following property line setbacks:
Street setback is 20 feet
Side setback is 5 feet
Rear setback is 15 feet
Rear setbacks may be reduced to 5 feet only for accessory structures less than 600 square feet in size.
No structures greater than 36 may be located within a required setback except residential fences less
than six feet in height, retaining walls, rockeries, and similar improvements of a minor character less than
three feet in height. Eaves and chimneys may project into a required setback not more than 30 inches.
Uncovered and unenclosed porches, steps, patios, and decks may project into a required setback not
more than one-third of the required setback, or four feet, whichever is less; provided, that they are no
more than 30 inches above ground level at any point.

Lot Coverage: Maximum structural lot coverage is 35%.
Notes
Notes
1. The newly created lot will not have the required lot width. RS-6 lots must be 60 wide and the
submitted drawing shows 59.77 for the south property line and 59.92 for the north property line.
2. As shown, the new house would not meet the 5 side setback requirement on the west. The existing
house would appear to conform to the proposed setback requirements.
3. A portion of Ex. Garage abuts the northern property line. A walkway runs from the western edge half
of the home parcel across to the new parcel and across the northern property line near the Ex.
Garage. Easements are required for those parcels involved if the walkway is to remain.
