04-02-19 SMP Periodic Review Public Hearing NoticePUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL
On April 2, 2019, the Edmonds City Council will hold a public hearing regarding the
following issue:
Public hearing on amendments to City of Edmonds Shoreline Master
Program (SMP). The Shoreline Management Act requires each SMP be
reviewed and revised, if needed, on an eight -year schedule established
by the Legislature. The City of Edmonds' periodic review must be
completed by June 30, 2019. The periodic review ensures the SMP stays
current with changes in laws and rules, remains consistent with other
City of Edmonds' plans and regulations, and is responsive to changed
circumstances, new information and improved data. Ecology developed
a Periodic Review Checklist in order to provide some guidance to
jurisdictions conducting their periodic reviews. The checklist
summarizes amendments to state law, rules and applicable updated
guidance adopted between 2007 and 2017 that may trigger the need for
local SMP amendments during periodic review. Staff has reviewed and
completed the periodic review checklist identifying provisions within the
SMP that require updating.
In addition to the statutory and regulatory amendments identified in the
checklist, staff added the Other Review Elements section to the end of
Ecology's checklist to identify a couple of other items that may by
amended with this periodic update. A site specific study of the Edmonds
Marsh is being undertaken by the City of Edmonds and information from
this study is providing an amendment to the Shoreline Inventory and
Characterization document with current information on the Edmonds
Marsh. Additionally, staff identified section ECDC 24.80.100 for process
clarifications on how a shoreline substantial development review may
move from a staff decision process (Type II) to a public hearing process
(Type III).
The City Council meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Council Chambers, Public
Safety Complex, 250 5t" Avenue North, Edmonds, Washington. At the time and place
stated above, all interested parties will be heard, however, there will be a time restriction
for oral comment. Written comments are welcomed prior to or at the public hearing.
If the item is continued to another date because it is not completed, or further information
is needed, the date of the continuation will be announced only at the meeting. Additional
information may be obtained at the Development Services Department, 121 5t" Avenue
North, Edmonds. Telephone: (425) 771-0220.
