1.1 Public Projects No street, park or other public way, ground, place, space
or public building or structure, or utility (whether publicly or privately owned) shall be
abandoned, constructed or authorized until the Hearing Examiner has reviewed and reported to
the City Council the location, extent and consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. The Hearing
Examiner's report shall be advisory only.
1.1.1 A proposal to construct or authorize any of the public properties
detailed in Section 1.1 which are listed on the Capital Facilities Plan, Parks Plan, Capital
Improvements Plan or other Comprehensive Plan element may be heard either individually or as
a group. The hearing before the Hearing Examiner for the construction or authorization of any
project so listed in the Comprehensive Plan shall be listed on the Hearing Examiner's agenda,
and notice published on the City's web site and on City bulletin boards.
1.2. Notice of the Hearing Examiner review of a public project, construction or
authorization not shown on a Comprehensive Plan element shall be individually noticed in
accord with ECDC 20.03.002. By way of illustration and not limitation, such procedures shall
include posting, published notice and mailed notice to property owners within three hundred

1.2. Street Vacations and Dedication. The Comprehensive Plan shall be
consulted prior to the establishment, improvement, abandonment or vacation of any street. No
dedication of any street or other area for public use shall be accepted by the City Council until its
location, character, extent and effect thereof shall be considered by the Hearing Examiner with
respect to the Comprehensive Plan. The Hearing Examiner's report shall be provided to the
City Council with respect to the abandonment, vacation or dedication of any street or other right
of way in public use. Dedications within the short subdivision process which do not require City
Council acceptance of the dedication are exempt from this requirement. In any development
permit process which has been delegated to the Hearing Examiner under the provisions of the
Edmonds Community Development Code and includes the dedication of a street or other area for
public use, the Hearing Examiner shall consider whether the action is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan as a part of the Hearing Examiner's determination on the underlying permit.
1.2.1 Hearing Examiner review shall be substituted for the Planning
Board review provided for in Chapter 20.65.010 during the life of this interim ordinance. The
hearing procedures and notification for any other process shall be consistent with the
requirements of ECDC Chapter 20.65 and as a Type V procedure.
1.2.2 Review of a dedication with a permit shall be processed in the
same manner as the underlying development permit.
1.2.3 Street vacations shall be processed as provided in Chapter 20.70
ECDC, provided, however, that the Hearing Examiner shall hold a hearing prior to City Council
consideration.
Section 2. These interim zoning procedures are adopted pursuant to the
authorization of Chapter 36.70A RCW. A public hearing shall be held on the adoption of these
{WSS755881.DOC;1 \00006.900000\ } - 3 -
procedures within sixty (60) days of the date of their adoption. The City Clerk is authorized to
provide notice of a public hearing in accordance with adopted Council policy and a hearing is
hereby set for the 2nd day of March, 2010.
Section 3. Effective Date. This ordinance, being an exercise of a power specifi-
cally delegated to the City legislative body, is not subject to referendum, and shall take effect
five (5) days after passage and publication of an approved summary thereof consisting of the
title.
Section 4. The adoption of an interim zoning procedure shall expire on its own
terms six months after its effective date unless extended by act of the City Council.
