WASHINGTON, ADOPTING FINDINGS OF FACT TO SUPPORT THE
ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 4200, WHICH ESTABLISHED A
MORATORIUM ON CERTAIN SUBDIVISION APPLICATIONS, AND
ORDINANCE 4201, WHICH ADOPTED CERTAIN INTERIM
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS THAT MAKE THE MORATORIUM
EASIER TO ENFORCE.
WHEREAS, the city council adopted Ordinances 4200 and 4201 on November 2, 2020; and

majority, those ordinances did not go into effect until November 10, 2020; and
WHEREAS, the city council held public hearings on Ordinances 4200 and 4201 on December 1,
2020 to determine whether the moratorium and interim development regulations adopted by

month terms; and
WHEREAS, only two people spoke at the above -referenced public hearing, neither of whom
offered testimony that convinced the city council to shorten the four -month duration of the two
ordinances, now therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, HEREBY
RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
