UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Code Amendment for Implementation of Detached Accessory Dwelling Units in accordance with BB 1337 — "Expanding housing options by easing barriers to the construction and use of accessory dwelling units." Planner Rose Haas gave the update on the Accessory Dwelling Unit code. She recapped what they talked about at the previous meeting and presented areas for discussion. She discussed requirements of House Bill 1337 which must be implemented no later than six months after the next Comp Plan due date or by July 1, 2025. Summary of Draft Code Amendments: • Eliminated ADU Use Chapter (ECDC 20.21) and integrated development standards into RS-Single Family Residential (Site Development Standards ECDC 16.20.050). • Addition of language allowing the conversion of nonconforming structures into ADUs in Chapter 17.40 (Nonconforming uses, buildings, signs, and lots). • Updates to Chapters 17.50 and 17.115 (Off -Street Parking Regulations and EV requirements). • Elimination of language requiring an ADU land use permit in ECDC 20.01 (Types of Development Project Permit Applications) • Addition of language allowing an ADU use in PRDs in ECDC 20.35 (Planned Residential Development). • Updates and additions to Title 21 (Definitions): Accessory Dwelling Unit, Family, Gross floor area, Principal dwelling unit, Single-family dwelling Areas for discussion: Critical Areas: Planning Division recommends allowing ADUs on lots that contain critical areas or their associated buffers so long as they can meet protection standards in ECDC Title 23 (Natural Resources and that ADUs should not have more restrictive development standards than primary dwelling units. • Vice Chair Golembiewski, Chair Mitchell, and Board Member Martini expressed support for staff s recommendations. • Board Member Gladstone asked for more information about the protection standards in order to understand how well these two things are compatible. Ms. Haas reviewed an example and explained that it would require a geotechnical report. Since this is already the process for additions and single- family units, they would follow the same process for ADUs/DADUs. Nullifying Restrictive Covenants: Planning Division recommends removing owner -occupancy requirements and associated requirement covenants; and allowing nullification of all owner occupancy covenants on the date of code adoption ECDC 16.20.050(L). Staff needs to work with the City Attorney on how to best do this. Planning Board Meeting Minutes January 10, 2024 Page 4 of 8 Packet Pg. 7 2.A.a Chair Mitchell asked about short-term rental limitations. Ms. Haas stated that would not be part of the Single -Family Development Code. It would most likely be elsewhere. Mr. Clugston commented that the last time Council talked about short-term rentals was in 2009 so it would need to be a much broader conversation under another amendment. Right now, if someone wants to do a VRBO, Air B&B or something similar they need to have a city business license. It they want to have other regulations there would need to be a separate policy discussion with Council about that. Utilities: Water meters, sewer connections, and utility undergrounding can add costs to ADU development. The Planning Division is working with Public Works and Olympic View Water and Sewer District (OVWSD) to clarify utility language prior to the next work session. Planning Division recommends reducing costs for homeowners as much as possible and also collaborating with the Public Works Department, Utility Billing, South County Fire, and OVWSD to ensure that all requirements are met. • Vice Chair Golembiewski thought this was great. • Board Member Nutsch asked if there would be any issues related to this when portions are sold. Board Member Golembiewski commented that she didn't think the selloff portion is a true subdivision. She thought that the landowner would own the utilities and there would probably be an HOA covenant. • Chair Mitchell said this is pretty much in line with other jurisdictions. He thinks this is a good start and makes sense. • Board Member Gladstone said the most important part of this is the collaboration with Public Works and OVWSD to figure out what makes the most sense. Ms. Haas reviewed draft code amendments page by page and invited feedback. • Vice Chair Golembiewski recommended having an incentive to keep these to one story. For example, maybe the maximum size is 1000 sf (which is the State minimum) but the applicant could increase to 1200 or 1400 sf if they keep it one story. Or maybe other setbacks could be reduced in exchange for lower building heights. • Board Member Kuehn thought it would be good to have options. • Board Member Gladstone said she liked Vice Chair Golembiewski's idea in order to meet the needs of the populations that need this type of housing. • Chair Mitchell asked if they would have to change lot coverage percentage in order to implement Vice Chair Golembiewski's proposal. Vice Chair Golembiewski did not recommend changing lot coverage percentages because it has a lot of environmental impacts; however, having more flexibility with setbacks opens up they possibility of having an ADU accessible to more people. Chair Mitchell suggested considering increasing the percentage in places where they want to incentivize the single - story buildings. • Board Member Gladstone requested data about housing sizes that would not be able to accommodate a 1200 sf footprint on their lot. How many places are we talking about where this would be restricted and where are they? • Chair Mitchell asked about the parking requirements. Ms. Haas explained there are about three areas in the city that would require no parking. Otherwise, it will continue to be what it is today which is two parking spaces for the primary unit and an additional one parking space per ADU. • Vice Chair Golembiewski commented that if you are building a 1200 sf single -story structure and adding a driveway you are likely going to tip the 2000 sf of impervious surface and start triggering the stormwater code. Planning Board Meeting Minutes January 10, 2024 Page 5 of 8 Packet Pg. 8 2.A.a • Chair Mitchell raised a question on behalf of Board Member Maxwell about the parking requirements. He asked if instead of having major and minor transit stops, they could just say a transit stop is a transit stop. Ms. Haas said they could recommend it, but she didn't know if Council would support it. Mr. Clugston said they could provide a map showing that. NEW BUSINESS A. Green Building Incentives Program Introduction Building Official Leif Bjorback and Planner Tristan Sewell made a presentation introducing the Green Building Incentives Program. They reviewed what Green Building Incentives are, existing conditions, policy context, program development, construction standards, program objectives, potential incentives, and questions to consider. The City can offer optional permitting and land use incentives in exchange for `greener' construction standards to incentivize development with reduced environmental impacts. The Edmonds Community Development Code already offers limited incentives. RM, BC, and WMU zones offer additional height for LEED Gold certification. Conservation subdivisions incentivize retention of natural resources in exchange for relaxed setbacks and increased lot coverage. Existing conditions: Buildings emit most of Edmonds' local climate pollution. Residences emit over a third of it. The current market forces perpetuate construction of inefficient buildings and wasteful construction techniques. Guiding principles from the 2024 Comprehensive Plan, 2023 State housing bills, and 2021 building and energy code updates provide information and goals. Policy documents include the 2020 Comprehensive Plan (which will be updated to the 2024 Comprehensive Plan) and the 2023 Climate Action Plan. Both of these explicitly call out incentives for development and redevelopment that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Program development included research of incentive programs in the region and nationally; input from Master Builders of King and Snohomish Counties; comparisons of peer and neighboring municipalities' goals; methods, outcomes, and next steps; and input from both industry reps and the public. It is important that program objectives are valuable and simple to implement. Construction standards are based on established certifications. The incentives available stem from things that the City can regulate. These include: • Additional building height — can be necessary for efficiency. • Reduced property line setbacks — onsite location flexibility • Increased lot coverage — more developable lot area • Density — number of units, floor area ratio • Reduced off-street parking — specific needs vs. one -size -fits -most. • Expedited plan review — targeting 50% reduction. Questions to consider: • How might these incentives impact housing affordability? May it contribute to displacement? • Who is most likely to benefit from these incentives? Who might face unintended negative outcomes? Who is left out? • Do the land use incentives reflect the community's best interest? Are they meaningful to development professionals and homeowners? Planning Board Meeting Minutes January 10, 2024 Page 6 of 8 Packet Pg. 9 2.A.a Can Planning & Development successfully implement accelerated review? Can we handle the incentivized applications with current staffing? Next steps include integrating feedback into a draft program proposal with specific land use and permit review incentives. Staff will present a draft program to Planning Board for input and revision. This will be followed by a public hearing on the revised draft for further refinement via public input. Finally, the Planning Board will make a recommendation to City Council. Vice Chair Golembiewski requested more information on how the process would work early on in the development process and what risk is posed by offering something that is not followed through on by the applicant. Mr. Bjorback explained that figuring out what gets leveraged is a crucial part of the program. He noted that Seattle has a lot of great requirements. There is a financial investment if you don't meet your obligation by a certain date. Board Member Gladstone suggested submitting questions to staff so answers can be brought back to the next meeting. B. Preparation for Planning Board presentation at Council Chair Mitchell stated that there is a draft presentation in place based on the previous presenation and what was discussed at the December Planning Board member. He gave a high-level review of the presentation. • Planning Board Powers and Duties • 2023 Highlights • 2024 Projected Workload • Goals & Expectations • Council Feedback SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT None PLANNING BOARD EXTENDED AGENDA The Board requested more information about the Comprehensive Plan high-level alternatives that were previously on the extended agenda. Board Member Gladstone expressed concern that it appears they won't be looking at policy until May. She believes this is the meat of the Comprehensive Plan and it is important to know when those touches will be. The alternatives should be driven by policies. Chair Mitchell acknowledged that staff is strapped with some of the policies because of the house bills but there are still the other five elements that are required. He asked how often they will be able to do get Comprehensive Plan updates. Mr. Clugston said they are hoping to do them bi-weekly. Next meeting: • Tree Code Discussion with Legal • ADUs/DADUs • Green Building Incentives (this might get punted) Planning Board Meeting Minutes January 10, 2024 Page 7 of 8 Packet Pg. 10 2.A.a General comments: • Vice Chair Golembiewski requested a briefing about how Comp Plan elements are developed. • Board Member Gladstone concurred and asked that this information refer specifically to Edmonds. • Chair Mitchell asked if they would be seeing the draft Comprehensive Plan incrementally or if they would just get all of it at once. He doesn't want to repeat the CIP/CFP scenario where they have one touch and then have to make a recommendation. • Board Member Gladstone noted that the extended agenda only goes until July but historically they have gotten a report on the CIP/CFP. Last year the first time was in September. She thinks that in order for the Board to understand the decisions and recommendations they will be making it should be on the agenda earlier. This would allow staff/consultants to lay the context of the drivers of their recommendations. Mr. Clugston thought that this would be lumped together with the Comprehensive Plan this year and would be coming in the spring or summer. • Mr. Clugston said he hopes to improve communication. • Board Member Gladstone requested that if they get 200 pages of reading, they get it earlier than the Friday before the meeting. • Board Member Gladstone requested a follow-on discussion on the Tree Code after they hear from the attorney. • Chair Mitchell requested an update on Highway 99 and what role the Planning Board is going to play. Board Member Gladstone suggested asking Council about this in the presentation. • Mr. Clugston noted that at some point in the year they need to get to Land Use Permit Timelines and Design Standards and Processes PLANNING BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS Board Member Gladstone commended Chair Mitchell on running his first meeting. Vice Chair Golembiewski also congratulated him on the great meeting. PLANNING BOARD CHAIR COMMENTS Chair Mitchell said he was excited to make the presentation to the Council and will report back at the next meeting. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 9:18 p.m. Planning Board Meeting Minutes January 10, 2024 Page 8 of 8 Packet Pg. 11 7.A Planning Board Agenda Item Meeting Date: 01/24/2024 Tree Canopy Goal / Legal Aspects of Tree Regulation Staff Lead: Mike Clugston Department: Planning & Development Prepared By: Michelle Martin Background/History As work on the tree code update progressed during the fall of 2023, the Board requested input from the City Attorney about the legal aspects of regulating trees on private property to make sure their eventual recommendation to Council was legally defensible. At about the same time, work on the code update was 'paused' to establish a tree canopy cover goal for the City. A tree canopy goal will help to assess whether future tree code legislation will help or hinder the City's ability to meet that goal. Staff Recommendation Staff is not requesting action at this meeting. The Planning and Development Director and City Attorney's will provide a presentation on each topic with Q/A to follow. Narrative N/A Packet Pg. 12 8.A Planning Board Agenda Item Meeting Date: 01/24/2024 Accessory Dwelling Unit Code Amendment to allow for Detached Accessory Dwelling Units — "Expanding housing options by easing barriers to the construction and use of accessory dwelling units in accordance with HB 1337." Staff Lead: Rose Haas Department: Planning Division Prepared By: Rose Haas Background/History Accessory dwelling units provide additional affordable housing options within existing single-family neighborhoods. Edmonds has allowed accessory dwelling units (ADUs) since 2000 but only when they are in or attached to a primary residence (ECDC 20.21). In 2021, the Citizens' Housing Commission stated the following policy recommendation for updating the ADU code to include detached accessory dwelling units (DADUs): Allow either one attached or detached accessory unit on a property in the SFR area, with clear and definitive development requirements such as size, ownership, and parking, under the standard permitting process and not require a conditional use permit. That work is consistent with the Housing Element in the current Comprehensive Plan which recommends the following strategy to promote affordable housing: The City [should substantially revise] its accessory dwelling regulations, providing clearer standards and streamlining their approval as a standard option for any single family lot (2020 Comprehensive Plan, p. 92). In the spring of 2023, the state legislature passed HB 1337 which requires jurisdictions like Edmonds to update their development codes to allow for DADUs and make related code changes to make it easier to create accessory dwelling units. State legislation mandates that HB 1337 must be implemented no later than six months after the next Comprehensive Plan due date, or by June 30, 2025. The requirements for the City of Edmonds will be as follows: Allow two ADUs per lot (any configuration of ADU and DADU). No owner -occupancy requirements. Allow separate sale of ADUs. No parking required within a half -mile of a major transit stop, as defined in RCW 36.70A.696(8). Maximum size limitation no less than 1,000sf. Packet Pg. 13 8.A Allow DADUs to be sited at a rear lot line, the lot line abuts a public alley. No setback requirements, yard coverage limits, tree retention mandates, restrictions on entry door locations, or aesthetic requirements that are more restrictive than for the principal unit. Allow ADUs of at least 24-feet in height. While work on updating the Comprehensive Plan continues, changes to the accessory dwelling unit code can be made now using existing City policy guidance and the ADU guidance provided by the Department of Commerce. There is existing demand for this housing option; Planning staff receives significant interest through phone inquiries, emails and counter visits from community members on a weekly basis. They are interested in having accommodation for families to age in place or to help offset rising housing related costs. Staff introduced the ADU code amendment to the Planning Board on December 13, 2023 and had a preliminary discussion of the proposed redline/strikeout code amendment language on January 10, 2024 (draft minutes attached to this packet and meeting video is linked). The preliminary discussion touched on the following topics: Regulation of units in lots that contain critical areas; Maximum unit square footage; Setback reductions; Utilities connections, metering, and Public Works' requirements; Nullification of existing owner -occupancy covenants. Staff Recommendation Staff will present draft code updates to the development code. Code updates occur within Chapters 16.20, 17.40, 17.50, 17.115, 20.01, 20.21 20.35 ECDC as well as within Title 21 ECDC (definitions). Since the January 10th meeting, staff has proposed additional changes to Utility and Services language in ECDC 16.20.050(I) and Health and Safety language in ECDC 16.20.050(J). Both changes were made after consultation with Public Works and the Building Department. No action is required by the Planning Board, but staff requests further feedback on the project. For next steps, the topic will be discussed at City Council on February 6, 2024. A public hearing at Planning Board is scheduled for February 28, 2024. The intent is to have Council hold a public hearing on March 5, 2024. Narrative HB 1337 has specific requirements for accessory dwelling units that must be met. Staff recommend not only allowing DADUs but also modernizing the existing ADU code. The existing code language is removed from its own section (Chapter 20.21 ECDC), updated, and incorporated into Chapter 16.20 ECDC (single- family residential). The core obiectives are to: 1. Allow DADUs in the City of Edmonds. 2. Align with HB 1337 in terms of development standards. 3. Provide clear and objective guidance for those who choose to add ADUs or DADUs to their property. 4. Provide code standards for height, floor area, parking, utilities, etc. Packet Pg. 14 8.A Attachments: DRAFT Redline strikethrough Code Amendment v.2 January 10, 2024 media Packet Pg. 15 8.A.a DADU CODE UPDATE -1337 v.2 C d Chapter 16.20 Commented [MC11: I added Comment' for anno whether the code is being deleted, moved or added RS - SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL = why.

The "single-family -master plan" zone is intended to apply to the area lying along the south side of SR-104 north of 228th Street SW, where there are development constraints related to access and traffic on SR-104. Development in this zone may be approved at RS-12 standards without an approved master plan. An approved master plan is required before any development can occur at RS-8 densities. B. Criteria for Approving a Master Plan. Properties seeking to develop at RS-6 or RS-8 densities shall be developed according to a master plan (such as through a PRD) that clearly demonstrates the following: 1. That access and lot configurations shall not result in additional curb cuts or unmitigated traffic impacts on SR-104; at a minimum, a traffic study prepared by a traffic engineer approved by the city shall clearly demonstrate this requirement. 2. That the configuration and arrangement of lots within the master plan area provide for setbacks on the perimeter of the proposed development that are compatible with the zoning standards applied to adjoining developed properties. For example, a master plan adjoining developed lots in an RS-MP zone that were developed under RS-12 standards 6 Packet Pg. 21 8.A.a DADU CODE UPDATE —1337 v.2 shall have RS-12 setbacks along common property lines, although the lot sizes, widths, and other bulk standards may conform to the higher density lot configuration approved through the master plan.

A satellite television antenna which measures greater than one meter or 1.1 yards in diameter shall comply with the following regulations: 1. General. Satellite television antennas must be installed and maintained in compliance with the Uniform Building and Electrical Codes as the same exist or are hereafter amended. A building permit shall be required in order to install any such device. 2. Setbacks. In all zones subject to the provisions contained herein, a satellite television antenna shall be located only in the rear yard of any lot. In the event that no usable satellite signal can be obtained in the rear lot location or in the event that no rear lot exists as in the case of a corner lot, satellite television antennas shall then be located in the side yard. In the event that a usable satellite signal cannot be obtained in either the rear or side yard, then a roof -mounted location may be approved by the staff, provided, however, that any roof -mounted satellite antenna shall be in a color calculated to blend in with existing roof materials and, in the case of a parabolic, spherical or dish antenna, shall not exceed nine feet in diameter unless otherwise provided for by this section. In no event shall any roof - mounted satellite television antenna exceed the maximum height limitations established by this section. 3. Aesthetic. Satellite television antennas shall be finished in a nongarish, nonreflective color and surface which shall blend into their surroundings. In the case of a parabolic, spherical or dish antenna, said antenna shall be of a mesh construction. No commercial advertising of any kind shall be displayed on the satellite television antenna. 4. Size and Height. Maximum size for a ground -mounted parabolic, spherical or dish antenna shall be 12 feet in diameter. No ground -mounted antenna shall be greater than 15 feet in height unless otherwise approved for waiver as herein provided. The height of roof - mounted satellite television antennas shall not exceed the lesser of the height of the antenna when mounted on a standard base provided by the manufacturer or installer for ordinary operation of the antenna or the height limitation provided by the zoning code. 5. Number. Only one satellite television antenna shall be permitted on any residential lot or parcel of land. In no case shall a satellite television antenna be permitted to be placed Packet Pg. 24 8.A.a DADU CODE UPDATE —1337 v.2 on wheels or attached to a portable device for the purpose of relocating the entire antenna on the property in order to circumvent the intentions of this section. E. Amateur Radio Antennas. 1. The following applications for the following approvals shall be processed as a Type II development project permit application (see Chapter 20.01 ECDC): a. Requests to utilize an amateur radio antenna dish which measures greater than one meter or 1.1 yards in diameter; b. Requests to utilize an antenna which: i. Would be greater than 12 feet in height above the principal building on a site. The height of the antenna shall be determined by reference to the highest point of the roof of the principal building, exclusive of the chimney or other roof -mounted equipment. The request to locate a 12-foot antenna on a building is limited to buildings whose height conforms to the highest limit of the zone in which the building is located. ii. Would exceed the height limit of the zone when mounted on the ground or on any accessory structure (see subsection (E)(2)(d) of this section). 2. The application shall comply with the following regulations: a. Definition. "Amateur radio antenna" means an antenna, or any combination of a mast or tower plus an attached or mounted antenna, which transmits noncommercial communication signals and is utilized by an operator licensed by the Federal Communications Commission. Guy wires for amateur radio antennas are considered part of the structure for the purpose of meeting development standards. b. General. Amateur radio antennas must be installed and maintained in compliance with the Uniform Building and Electrical Codes, as the same exist or are hereafter amended. A building permit shall be required to install an amateur radio antenna. c. Location. Amateur radio antennas may be ground- or roof -mounted, however, these devices shall: 10 Packet Pg. 25 8.A.a DADU CODE UPDATE —1337 v.2 i. Be located and constructed in such a manner as to reasonably ensure that, in its fully extended position, it will not fall in or onto adjoining properties; ii. Not be located within any required setback area; and iii. Be retracted in inclement weather posing a hazard to the antenna. d. Height. The height of a ground -mounted tower or roof -top antenna may not exceed the greater of the height limit applicable to the zone or 65 feet when extended by a telescoping or crank -up mechanism unless an applicant obtains a waiver (see subsection (F) of this section). i. Only telescoping towers may exceed the height limits established by subsection (E)(1)(b) of this section. Such towers shall comply with the height limit within the applicable zone and may only exceed the height limit of the applicable zone and/or 65-foot height limit when extended and operating and if a waiver has been granted. ii. An antenna located on a nonconforming building or structure which exceeds the height limit of the zone in which it is located shall be limited to height limit of the zone plus 12 feet. e. Aesthetic. To the extent technically feasible and in compliance with safety regulations, specific paint colors may be required to allow the tower to blend better with its setting. F. Technological Improcticolity - Request for Waiver. 1. The owner, licensee or adjacent property owner may apply for a waiver if: a. Strict application of the provisions of this zoning code would make it impossible for the owner of a satellite television antenna to receive a usable satellite signal; b. Strict application of the provisions of this zoning code would make it impossible for the holder of any amateur radio license to enjoy the full benefits of an FCC license or FCC protected right; or c. An adjacent property owner or holder of an FCC license or right believes that alternatives exist which are less burdensome to adjacent property owners. 11 Packet Pg. 26 8.A.a DADU CODE UPDATE —1337 v.2 2. The request for waiver shall be reviewed by the hearing examiner as a Type III -A decision and may be granted upon a finding that one of the following sets of criteria have been met: a. Technological Impracticality. i. Actual compliance with the existing provisions of the city s zoning ordinance would prevent the satellite television antenna from receiving a usable satellite signal or prevent an individual from exercising the rights granted to him or her by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by license, law or FCC regulation; or ii. The alternatives proposed by the property owner or licensee constitute the minimum necessary to permit acquisition of a usable satellite signal by a satellite television antenna or to exercise the rights granted pursuant to a valid FCC license, law or FCC regulation. b. Less Burdensome Alternatives. The hearing examiner is also authorized to consider the application of adjacent property owners for a waiver consistent with the provisions of subsection (F)(1)(c) of this section without the requirement of a finding that a usable satellite signal cannot be acquired when the applicant or adjacent property owner(s) establish that the alternatives proposed by the applicant are less burdensome to the adjacent property owners than the requirements which would otherwise be imposed under this section. For example, adjacent property owners may request alternative or additional screening or the relocation of the antenna on the licensee's property. In the interactive process described in subsection (F)(3) of this section, the hearing examiner shall attempt to balance the impact of the tower on the views of adjacent properties, as well as the impacts of alternative screening and relocation in order to equitably distribute any negative impacts among the neighbors while imposing reasonable conditions on the antenna, its location and screening that do not impair the rights granted by the FCC to the licensee. 3. The process shall be an interactive one in which the hearing examiner works with the licensee to craft conditions which place the minimum possible burden on adjacent property owners while permitting the owner of the satellite antenna or holder of an amateur radio license to fully exercise the rights which he or she has been granted by federal law. For example, the number of antennas and size of the array shall be no greater 12 Packet Pg. 27 8.A.a DADU CODE UPDATE —1337 v.2 than that necessary to enjoy full use of the FCC license. Conditions may include but are not limited to requirements for screening and landscaping, review of the color, reflectivity and mass of the proposed satellite television antenna or amateur radio facilities, and other reasonable restrictions. Any restriction shall be consistent with the intent of the city council that a waiver to the antenna owner be granted only when necessary to permit the satellite television antenna to acquire usable satellite signal or to allow the licensee to exercise the rights granted by Federal Communications Commission license after consideration of aesthetic harmony of the community. The process employed should involve the interaction of the licensee or owner and the neighborhood. Certain issues have been preempted by federal law and shall not be considered by the hearing examiner. Such issues include, but are not limited to, the impacts of electromagnetic radiation, the potential interference of the amateur radio facility with electronic devices in the neighborhood and any other matter preempted by federal law or regulation. Impact on view and on the values of neighboring properties may be considered in imposing reasonable conditions but shall not be a basis for denial of a permit to construct the antenna. 4. The application fee and notification for consideration of the waiver by an owner of a satellite television antenna shall be the same as that provided for processing a variance. No fee shall be charged to the holder of a valid FCC amateur radio license. 5. In the event that an applicant for waiver is also obligated to undergo architectural design review, the architectural design board shall defer any issues relating to the antenna and/or other amateur radio equipment to the hearing examiner. The hearing examiner may, at his or her discretion, request the architectural design board review and comment regarding required screening and landscaping and its integration into sight and landscaping plans. No additional fee shall be required of the applicant upon such referral. G. The provisions of subsections (D), (E) and (F) of this section shall be interpreted in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission including but not limited to PRB-1. In the event of ambiguity or conflict with any of the apparent provisions of this section, the provisions of federal regulations shall control. [Ord. 3736 §§ 8, 9, 2009; Ord. 3728 § 3, 2009; Ord. 3547 § 1, 2005]. 13 Packet Pg. 28 8.A.a DADU CODE UPDATE — 1337 v.2 17.40.020 Nonconforming building and/or structure. A. Definition. A nonconforming building is one which once met bulk zoning standards and the site development standards applicable to its construction, but which no longer conforms to such standards due to the enactment or amendment of the zoning ordinance of the city of Edmonds or the application of such ordinance in the case of a structure annexed to the city. Subject to the other provisions of this section, an accessory building that is not an accessory dwelling unit shall be presumptively nonconforming if photographic or other substantial evidence conclusively demonstrates that the accessory building existed on or before January 1, 1981. In the case of a property that was annexed after January 1, 1981, then the date shall be that of the effective date of the annexation of the city of Edmonds. Such presumption may be overcome only by clear and convincing evidence. B. Continuation. A nonconforming building or structure may be maintained and continued, unless required to be abated elsewhere in this chapter or section, but it may not be changed or altered in any manner which increases the degree of nonconformity of the building except as expressly provided in subsections ll through-gL-(1) of this section. C. Historic Buildings and Structures. Nothing in this section shall prevent the full restoration by reconstruction of a building or structure which is either listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Washington State Register of Historic Places, the Washington State Cultural Resource Inventory, or the Edmonds Register of Historic Places, or is listed in a council - approved historical survey meeting the standards of the State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. "Restoration" means reconstruction of the historic building or structure with as nearly the same visual design appearance and materials as is consistent with full compliance with the State Building Code and consistent with the requirements of Chapter 20.45 ECDC, Edmonds Register of Historic Places. The reconstruction of all such historic buildings and structures shall comply with the life safety provisions of the State Building Code. D. Maintenance and Alterations. 1. Ordinary maintenance and repair of a nonconforming building or structure shall be permitted. 14 Packet Pg. 29 8.A.a DADU CODE UPDATE —1337 v.2 2. Solar Energy Installations on Buildings That Exceed Existing Height Limits. A rooftop solar energy installation mounted on a nonconforming building that exceeds the existing height limit may be approved as a Type II staff decision if: a. The installation exceeds the existing roof height by not more than 36 inches. b. The installation is designed and located in such a way as to provide reasonable solar access while limiting visual impacts on surrounding properties. 3. Alterations which otherwise conform to the provisions of the zoning ordinance, its site development and bulk standards, and which do not expand any nonconforming aspect of the building, shall be permitted. 4. In an effort to provide modular relief, minor architectural improvements in commercial and multifamily zones may encroach into the nonconforming setback adjacent to an access easement or public right-of-way not more than 30 inches. Minor architectural improvements may also be permitted in nonconforming side or rear yard setbacks only if they intrude not more than 30 inches nor one-half of the distance to the property line, whichever is less. "Minor architectural improvements" are defined as and limited to bay windows, eaves, chimneys and architectural detail such as cornices, medallions and decorative trim. Such improvements shall be required to obtain architectural design review. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to exempt such improvements in compliance with the State Building and Fire Codes. 5. Alterations required bylaw or the order of a public agency in order to meet health and safety regulations shall be permitted. E. Relocation. Should a nonconforming building or structure be moved horizontally for any reason for any distance, it shall thereafter come into conformance with the setback and lot coverage requirements for the zone in which it is located. Provided, however, that a building or structure may be moved on the same site without full compliance if the movement reduces the degree of nonconformity of the building or structure. Movement alone of a nonconforming building or structure to lessen an aspect of its nonconformity shall not require the owner thereof to bring the building or structure into compliance with other bulk or site development standards of the city applicable to the building or structure. F. Restoration. 15 Packet Pg. 30 8.A.a DADU CODE UPDATE —1337 v.2 1. If a nonconforming building or structure is destroyed or is damaged in an amount equal to 75 percent or more of its replacement cost at the time of destruction, said building shall not be reconstructed except in full conformance with the provisions of the Edmonds Community Development Code. Determination of replacement costs and the level of destruction shall be made by the building official and shall be appealable as a Type II staff decision under the provisions of Chapter 20.06 ECDC. Damage of less than 75 percent of replacement costs may be repaired, and the building returned to its former size, shape and lot location as existed before the damage occurred, if, but only if, such repair is initiated by the filing of an application for a building permit which vests as provided in ECDC 19.00.025(G) et seq. within 18 months of the date such damage occurred. The director may grant a one-time extension of up to 180 days if a written extension request has been received from the applicant prior to the expiration of the initial 18 months. 2. Residential Buildings. Existing nonconforming buildings in use solely for residential purposes, or structures attendant to such residential use, may be reconstructed without regard to the limitations of subsections LE) and (F) of this section, if, but only if, the following conditions are met: a. If a nonconforming multifamily residential building or a mixed use building containing multiple residential units is damaged in excess of 75 percent of its replacement cost at the time of destruction, the building may be restored to the same density, height, setbacks or coverage as existing before the destruction or damage occurred if, but only if, an application for a building permit which vests as provided in ECDC 19.00.025(G) et seq. is filed within 18 months of the date the damage occurred. The director may grant a one-time extension of up to 180 days if a written extension request has been received from the applicant prior to the expiration of the initial 18 months. b. All provisions of the State Building and Electrical Codes can be complied with entirely on the site. No nonconforming residential building may be remodeled or reconstructed if, by so doing, the full use under state law or city ordinance of a conforming neighboring lot or building would be limited by such remodel or reconstruction. c. These provisions shall apply only to the primary residential use on site and shall not apply to nonconforming accessory buildings or structures. 16 Packet Pg. 31 8.A.a DADU CODE UPDATE —1337 v.2 d. A nonconforming residential single-family building maybe rebuilt within the defined building envelope if it is rebuilt with materials and design which are substantially similar to the original style and structure after complying with current codes. Substantial compliance shall be determined by the city as a Type II staff decision. The decision of the hearing examiner shall be final and appealable only as provided in ECDC 20.06.150. 3. The right of restoration shall not apply if: a. The building or structure was damaged or destroyed due to the unlawful act of the owner or the owner's agent; b. The building is damaged or destroyed due to the ongoing neglect or gross negligence of the owner or owner's agents; or c. The building was demolished for the purpose of redevelopment. G. Accessory Dwelling Units. A legal nonconforming detached accessory building may be converted into an accessory dwelling units provided it meets the standards in ECDC 16.20.050 are met. -Minor exterior modifications required for conversion into conditioned space or other minor exterior modifications required by the International Residential Code adopted by ECDC Title 19 wi4may be permitted. 'Minor exterior modifications' include, but are not limited to, egress windows, exhaust vents, and other minor modifications that are required for health and safety as determined by the Building Official. G- H. Subject to the other provisions of this section, an accessory building that is not an accessory dwelling unit shall be presumptively nonconforming if photographic or other substantial evidence conclusively demonstrates that the accessory building existed on or before January 1, 1981. In the case of a property that was annexed after January 1, 1981, then the date shall be that of the effective date of the annexation to the city of Edmonds. Such presumption may be overcome only by clear and convincing evidence. k—l. BD5 Zone. The BIDS zone was created in part to encourage the adoption and reuse of existing residential structures for live/work and commercial use as set forth in ECDC 16.43.030(B)(5). In the BIDS zone, conforming and nonconforming buildings may be converted to commercial or other uses permitted by ECDC 16.43.020 without being required to come into compliance with the ground floor elevation requirements of ECDC 16.43.030(B). 17 Packet Pg. 32 8.A.a DADU CODE UPDATE —1337 v.2 �.—LThe antenna and related equipment of a nonconforming wireless communication facility rr C 4) may be completely replaced with a new antenna and related equipment; provided, that, upon replacement, the applicant shall use the best available methods and materials to enhance the a) E appearance of the antenna and related equipment and/or screen it from view in a manner that Q improves the visual impact or the conspicuity of the nonconformity.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure Parking Standards. See Chapter 17.115 ECDC for parking standards relating to electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. [Ord. 4251 § 2 (Exh. A), 2022; Ord. 3496 § 2, 2004]. 17.115.040 Required facilities. A. Applicability. Development for each of the land uses identified in Table 17.115.040 shall be required to provide electric vehicle charging infrastructure when one of the following occurs: 1. Anew development or new off-street parking facility; 2. Substantial damage or substantial improvements to an existing development is made within a one-year period as determined by the building official; or 3. The parking capacity of an existing development or parking facility is increased by 50 percent or more of the total parking spaces provided. B. Standards. Table 17.115.040 lists the minimum number or percentage of electric vehicle charging infrastructure required by type of use. Table 17.115.040: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Requirements Number of EV Number of EV Number of EV Type of Use Capable Parking Ready Parking Installed Parking Spaces Spaces Spaces Single-family dwelling N/A 1 per dwelling unit N/A units' Multiple dwelling 40% of parking 40% of parking 10% of parking units' spaces spaces spaces 22 Packet Pg. 37 8.A.a DADU CODE UPDATE —1337 v.2 Type of Use Number of EV Capable Parking Spaces Number of EV Ready Parking Spaces Number of EV Installed Parking Spaces Detached accessory N/A 1 per detached accessory dwelling N/A dwelling unitS2 unit Nonresidential uses 40% of parking spaces 0% of parking spaces 10% of parking spaces Footnote 1: For the purposes of this section, those multiple dwelling units with individual garages will follow the requirements for single-family dwelling units. Footnote 2: detached accessory dwelling units that do not require parking per ECDC 17.50.020(A)(4) are exempt. C. Calculations, 1. Fractions. For the purposes of this chapter, calculations will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. 2. Inclusion in Parking Calculations. All EV installed, EV ready, and EV capable spaces are to be included in the calculation for the number of parking spaces, as provided by the applicable chapter of the Edmonds Community Development Code. 3. Uses Not Specified. Any use not listed in Table 17.115.040 must meet the requirements of the most similar listed use, as determined by the planning and development director. 4. Different Uses on the Same Development Site. The requirement for different uses on the same development site is calculated as the sum of all requirements for the individual uses. For cases where a building on a larger development site requires EV charging infrastructure per this chapter but the remainder of the development site does not, only the parking for that specific building or improved area will require compliance with this chapter. 5. For the purposes of Table 17.115.040, a portion or all of a lesser requirement for EV charging infrastructure can be substituted with one of a higher requirement (e.g., EV 23 Packet Pg. 38 8.A.a DADU CODE UPDATE —1337 v.2 capable replaced with EV ready, EV ready replaced with EV installed, or EV capable replaced with EV installed) so long as the total minimum number of EV parking spaces required in Table 17.115.040 remains the same. For example, a nonresidential use could increase the amount of EV ready parking spaces from 40 percent to 50 percent, reduce the amount of EV capable parking spaces from 40 percent to 30 percent, and keep the same amount of EV installed spaces (10 percent). This example would be permitted because a portion of the lower requirement (EV capable) was substituted for a higher requirement (EV ready), and the overall minimum number of EV parking spaces (90 percent) would remain the same. D. Load Management. Electric vehicle load management system technology is permitted to be used to support EV charging infrastructure. E. Reductions. The director may reduce the requirements of Table 17.115.040 when there is substantial evidence that the added electrical load, that results from meeting these requirements, will significantly alter the local utility infrastructure design requirement. However, in no case shall the overall number of EV parking spaces required in Table 17.115.040 be reduced. In reducing the requirements, the director may: Reduce the type of EV charging infrastructure required (EV ready or EV installed to EV capable); or 2. Reduce the EV charging level required (Level II or Level III to Level 1). [Ord.4299 § 26 (Exh. A), 2023; Ord. 4251 § 1 (Exh. A), 2022]. 20.01.003 Permit type and decision framework. A.
