ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Edmonds Community Development Code is hereby amended by
the repeal of Chapter 16.77 MPOR Master Plan Office Residential and the enactment of a new
Chapter 16.77 OR- Office- Residential to read as follows:

Chapter 16.77
OR — OFFICE - RESIDENTIAL
Sections:
16.77.000 Purposes.
16.77.010 Uses.
16.77.020 Site development standards.
16.77.030 Operating restrictions.
16.77.000 Purposes.
A. The office- residential (OR) zone is intended to be applied
to areas designated in the comprehensive plan for "Planned
Residential - Office" development on the west side of Sunset
Avenue south of Bell Street.
B. This area is appropriate for development which provides
for a mix of small -scale office and residential uses which provide a
transition between the more intensive commercial uses along Main
Street and the residential uses along Sunset Avenue. Because the
area of this designation is located adjacent to commercial
development to the south, the railroad to the west, and is near both
multiple family and single - family residential development, this
area should act as a transition between theses uses.
C. To restrict commercial and multiple residential uses in
scale and intensity so as to reduce noise, parking and traffic
impacts on the adjacent residential neighborhood.
D. The height and setback limits established for this zone have
been adopted after full consideration of the topographical
constraints of sites within the zone. Variances are not available
under current city code provisions in order to make more profitable
use of a property. In adopting these provisions, the city council has
specifically provided for, and made allowances for, the site
constraints and topographical features inherent in development of
the designated OR sites. Therefore, no other height variance would
typically be available absent a special showing of constraints
unanticipated on the date of adoption of the ordinance codified in
this chapter.
16.77.010 Uses.
A. Permitted Primary Uses. Any combination of the following
uses is permitted:
1. Single - family dwellings.
{WSS647339.DOC;1/00006.900000/} - 2 -
2. Office uses.
3. Multiple dwelling unit(s).
4. Neighborhood parks, natural open spaces, and community
parks with an adopted master plan subject to the requirements of
ECDC 17.100.070.
B. Permitted Secondary Uses.
1. Off - street parking and loading areas to serve a permitted or
conditional use.
2. All permitted secondary uses allowed in the RS — Single
Family Residential zone, as listed in 16.20.010.B.
C. Primary Uses Requiring a Conditional Use Permit.
1. Local public facilities subject to the requirements of ECDC
17.100.050;
16.77.020 Site development standards.
