6. Public Hearings: (Public participation is welcome)
a. Public Hearing on potential amendments to the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC)
modifying the definition of " lot (ECDC 21.55.010), defining 'lot of record" (ECDC 21.55.015) and
establishing a process for determining "innocent purchaser" (ECDC 20.75.180). (AMD20140001).
b. Public hearing on potential amendments to the City of Edmonds Community Development Code
(ECDC) modifying the provisions of the General Commercial (CG) zones. The amendments focus on
two sets of changes:
(1) Parking. The parking standards for all CG-zoned properties would be set at a uniform standard (1
space per 400 sq. ft. of leasable building space), and potentially further reduce the parking standard
to 1/600 sq. ft. for properties that only have frontage adjoining other CG zones. The amendments
would also provide for development -specific parking studies.
(2) Uses. The amendments would remove the requirement for two floors of commercial space within
all CG developments. A range of options are being considered, such as no commercial space
requirement or a general commercial space requirement that could be distributed in any manner
desired within the overall development (e.g. the equivalent of one floor of commercial space).
