RESOLUTION NO. 976
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, INTERPRETING AND
APPLYING THE FEES TO BE CHARGED A VARIANCE
APPLICANT PURSUANT TO RESOLUTION NO. 967 THE
ANNUAL FEE RESOLUTION FOR THE YEAR 2000.
WHEREAS, at the date the annual fee resolution was enacted, the City Council
instructed that an administrative procedure be established to handle relatively simple, small scale
hearings and, based upon such procedure, established a dual fee schedule for applications
depending upon whether a full hearing before the Hearing Examiner or a simplified
administrative hearing was required, and,
WHEREAS, no administrative hearing process has yet been established, and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that many variances which are brought
forward independent of a development application could fall within the yet established
administrative process, and
WHEREAS, the City Council therefore deems it appropriate to charge the
administrative fee to all variances until such time as a recommendation has been received
regarding establishment of a process for administrative hearings and an ordinance enacted
distinguishes between those hearings to be held by the Hearing Examiner and through the
administrative process, now, therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON,
HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
{WSS423815.DOC;1/00006.900000/} - 1 -
Section 1. Applications for variance shall be charged the administrative fee set
forth in Resolution No. 967 until such time as the City Council has enacted by ordinance
definitions and processes distinguishing between those variances to be charged an administrative
fee and those which will be heard by the City's Hearing Examiner.
Section 2. If any section, sentence, clause, or phrase of this resolution or any
regulation adopted or amended hereby should be held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court
of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or
constitutionality of any other section, sentence, clause or phrase of this resolution or any
regulation adopted or amended hereby. Provided, however, that if any tax rate, fee level or
structure thereof established by this resolution is declared invalid or illegal, or is otherwise struck
own, the tax rate, fee level or structure thereof in effect prior to the effective date of this
resolution shall be restored, revived, and brought to full force and effect.
RESOLVED this 15th day of February, 2000.
