There were no comments or questions. Packet Pg. 3 2.A.a UPDATE ON CLIMATE GOALS PROJECT Mr. Lien reviewed that the Climate Goal Project was originally initiated by Resolution 1389, which was adopted by the City Council in 2017. The resolution included some somewhat aggressive dates, and implementation is in progress. He reviewed the resolution as follows: • Section 1. By approving the resolution, the City Council endorsed the Mayor's National Climate Action Agenda. • Section 2. The City Council rededicated itself to partnering with the City administration and Edmonds citizens to identify the benefits and costs of adopting policies and programs that promote the long-term goal of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction while maximizing economic and social benefits of such action. • Section 3. As per the resolution, the Planning Department and the Climate Protection Committee was to report annually to the City Council on current municipal and county -wide GHG inventory starting in 2018. He reported that a GHG inventory was completed, and a tracking tool was developed by the consultant that will help the City track GHGs in the coming years to see how they are doing with the targets that were initially identified as part of the project. The targets will be solidified as the Climate Action Plan is updated. • Section 4. The Planning Department and the Climate Protection Committee was charged with establishing a recommendation to the City Council on both near -term and long-term GHG emission reduction target goals July 1, 2018. Prior to the last few years, discussions regarding GHG reductions focused on a certain percent below the 2010 or 1996 target levels. As part of the project, the Climate Protection Committee discussed science -based goals and passed forward a recommendation that the goals, policies and targets should enable the City to do its part to ensure that temperature rise is no more than 1.5° C above preindustrial levels. • Section 5. The Planning Department and Climate Protection Committee was also charged with updating the City's Climate Action Plan and reviewing the specific strategies for meeting the emissions reduction target as well as tying o mitigation with adaptative measures where possible. The Climate Action Plan update will start in 2020. • Section 6. This section establishes renewable energy goals for both municipal facilities and for the City at large: o 100% renewable energy for municipal facilities by 2019 and for the City community electricity supply by 2025. In a 2019, the City entered into an energy credit project with the Snohomish County Public Utility District (PUD) where Q- Q all the energy that is purchased is from renewable energy sources. The latter goal is more difficult, but can probably be accomplished. There has been recent legislation for statewide 100% renewable energy, PUD to incentives, and more public awareness. N • Section 7. This section directs the Planning Department and Climate Protection Committee to develop a work plan, o including options, methods and financial resources needed and an associated timeline and milestones to achieve the m renewable energy goals. a Mr. Lien shared highlights from the GHG Inventory, which was based on 2017 levels, noting that for the purposes of the report, the GHC numbers were converted to CO2 equivalents. There was almost 306,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent attributed to local emissions, or about 7.2 metric tons per capita. Transportation was the major contributor (40%) based on vehicle miles traveled in both the residential and commercial sectors. Vice Chair Rosen asked if the transportation numbers include the ferry and trains, and Mr. Lien answered no. Mr. Lien continued that, in addition to local emissions, emissions from household -related consumption (imported food, goods and energy consumed by the City's residents) was about 445,000 metric tons of CO2. Mr. Lien explained that a science -based climate target sets a rate of climate action that is aligned with keeping the average global temperature increase below a specified level compared to preindustrial temperatures. It has been determined that keeping the global temperature increase below 2° C will allow the majority, but not all, of the global population to avoid the worst social and economic affects of climate change. However, the City's goal is to ensure that temperature is no more than 1.5° C above preindustrial levels. To meet this target in 2035 and 2050, GHGs must stay at or below 400 parts per million (pPm) Mr. Lien advised that, in order to meet the goal, the City identified a number of metrics to track. The metrics were based on the City's existing policies and the ability to track data. He reviewed each of the strategies and their associated metric as follows: Planning Board Minutes February 26, 2020 Page 2 Packet Pg. 4 • TR-1 Strategy: Additional units of commercial and multi -family centers by 2035 and 2050. Metric: Number of homes built in an activity center. By 2035, there should be an additional 3,347 multifamily units constructed in the centers (Highway 99 and Westgate), and this should reduce the number of miles traveled because the units would be located near transit centers. • TR-2 Strategy: Percent of commuters using transit by 2035 and 2050. Metric: Percentage of commuters using public transportation. • TR-3 Strategy: Percent of commuters walking or biking to work by 2035 and 2050. Metric: Percentage of commuters using an active mode of transportation. • TR-4 Strategy: Percent of commuters carpooling and/or utilizing an alternative work week by 2035 and 2050. Metric: Percentage of commuters carpooling, telecommuting, and/or working shorter weeks and longer hours. • TR-5 Strategy: Reduction in solid waste generation by 2035 and 2050. Metric: Percentage of citywide fleet that is BEV or BHEV. • W-1 Strategy: Reduction in solid waste generation by 2035 and 2050. Metric: Change in amount of waste generated per capita compared to 2017 levels. • EY-1 Strategy: Number of new residential and commercial photovoltaic (PV) systems installed by 2035 and 2050. Metric: Number of homes and businesses that installed solar PV since 2017. • EY-2 Strategy: Percent of residential and commercial area retrofitted by 2035 and 2050. Metric: The total residential and commercial area that is upgraded with energy efficient programs/opportunities. Strategy: Savings from 2017 improvements to Wastewater Treatment Plan by 2035 and 2050. Metric: Amount of electricity and fuel oil saved from 2017 efficiency improvements. • EY-3 Strategy: Percent of new, LEED-certified residential and commercial development by 2035 and 2050 Metric: Percentage of new development since 2017 that is LEED-certified. • EY-4 Strategy: Number of trees planted by 2035 and 2050. Metric: Number of trees planted citywide since 2017. Mr. Lien shared a graph that illustrated the changes in GHG emissions from the 2017 inventory to the most recent inventory. He pointed out that, even with the identified strategies, there will still be a gap in the City's ability to meet its goals by 2035, and the gaps will be even larger by 2050. The largest gaps are projected to occur in the transportation and residential energy sectors. He emphasized that the 10 strategies are not the only actions the City plans to take, and market forces and federal and state regulations will help, too. Market forces and federal/state regulations include: • All auto manufacturers are expanding electric vehicle production, driven by European and Asian markets. The City tracks the number of electric vehicles that are licensed. This strategy will be key across the world in order to reduce GHG emissions. • Federal and auto -efficiency standards will help reduce GHG emissions per vehicle mile traveled. • State clean energy bills will decarbonize the state electric grid by 2050. • Solar power costs are expected to continue to fall, which means more people will install solar panels. • Heath pumps already cost less than gas furnaces to operate. As new construction and remodeling of existing structures occur, people will switch from gas to electricity. • Sequestration technology is being developed. Mr. Lien summarized that, in addition to the Climate Action Plan, market forces and state regulatoins, education will play a significant role in the effort. The Climate Action Plan update will start in 2020. He reviewed that, while the 2010 Climate Action Plan was largely produced by the Climate Protection Committee, the 2020 update will be drafted by consultants who will consult with the Climate Protection Committee. The Climate Action Plan touches on many sectors and aspects of people's lives, so a robust public engagement process is needed. Mr. Lien said that, as part of the update, the consultant, Environmental Science Associates (ESA), has identiified a few hundred climate -related goals that are already contained in City plans. Mayor Nelson has established an Inter -Departmental Climate Action Team, and the first meeting will be March 2" d. Because it will take some time to update the plan, the Climate Action Team will work to identify some interim actions to implement the climate goals now. He advised that he would provide an update to the City Council on March 17' R Planning Board Minutes February 26, 2020 Page 3 Packet Pg. 5 2.A.a Board Member Rubenkonig asked if the Board could recommend changes to the 2010 Climate Action Plan. Mr. Lien said the 2010 plan will not be further amended. The 2010 plan reads more like a PowerPoint presentation than a policy plan. The consultant has suggested both content and format changes. Board Member Rubenkonig asked that the updated plan include dates of when projects were done and when progress is made. Mr. Lien said the intent is to review the 2010 plan to identify the strategies that have been met. He recalled that staff made a presentation to the City Council in 2019 that addressed many of the things the City has been doing over the past several years related to implementation of the Climate Action Plan, and they continue to do more. Board Member Rubenkonig asked how the 10 strategies and metrics were chosen. Mr. Lien said the strategies were chosen because they can have a big impact on GHG emissions and the metrics were chosen because the data can be easily obtained and tracked. Board Member Rubenkonig asked if ESA provided input on the strategies that would provide the greates impact based on what has been recognized in other cities. Mr. Lien said the first step was to identify where the GHGs were coming from, and transportation is the largest contributor. Five of the strategies the City is tracking are transportation related, as that is where the City will get the biggest bang for its buck. He explained that because the majority of the Pacific Northwest's power comes from the Bonneville Power Administration and is hydro generated, reducing electricity use really won't have a lot of impact on reducting GHGs. Therefore, two of the energy strategies are related to retrofitting exisiting structures, such as converting from gas to electric heat. The Wastewater Treatment Plant Project will save a lot of energy for the City, and LEED certification is a step in the right direction, too. It will take a forested area 400 times larger than the City of Edmonds to compensate for GHGs, so planting 262 trees by 2050 will not make a significant difference. However, it is a tracking tool that many citizens are interested in. Board Member Rubenkonig summarized that the strategies and metrics are based on available data, and then the policies were based on the proportion of total GHG (40% for transportation and 35% for building). She asked if the City was > surprised that transportation -related GHG output was higher than building -related GHG output. Mr. Lien said transportation 0- is the largest contributor in most of the cities he has researched, too. Q. Q Board Member Rubenkonig asked if the 10 strategies and metrics were identiifed by ESA or were they established before M they came on board. Mr. Lien answered that ESA worked with the staff and Climate Protection Committee to identify the CD N strategies, and they are new. Board Member Rubenkonig asked what the Board's role will be in looking at the 10 strategies. c Mr. Lien explained that the 1.5° C target was presented to the City Council, but it hasn't been formally adopted. As the m Climate Action Plan update is developed, the target will need to be formally adopted. The Paris Climate Agreement a identifies a goal of 2.0° C, with a larger goal of eventually reaching 1.5° C above preindustrial levels. The Board can provide input regarding what the target should be, recognizing that the goals must be achievable. m Board Member Rubenkonig suggested that an explanation should be provided at the bottom of the chart to explained how the 10 strategies and metrics were selected. Mr. Lien agreed to send the Board Members a copy of the GHG Inventory, which was provided to them at the last update in 2019. Board Member Cheung asked if the City has baseline numbers for each of the 10 metrics. It would be helpful to know what percentage increase would be needed to reach the target. Mr. Lien said the tracking tool is quite complex and requires a lot of mapping. He would need to talk with the consultant to answer this question. Board Member Cheung asked if the City already has the data to track the 10 metrics on the list, and Mr. Lien answered affirmatively. He agreed to email the Board Members a tool that allows them see the factors that were used and how each strategy could reduce GHGs. They can use this tool to change the numbers and see what happens. He invited them to forward their questions to him, and he would work with the consultant to answer them and report back. Vice Chair Rosen asked how the City would measure the 1.5° C target. Mr. Lien explained that 1.5° C target is based on the ppm of GHG in the atmosphere. If the nations of the world were to continue with business as usual, GHG emissions would continue to increase. The Washington State Legislature passed a bill to have clean energy in the state by 2050, and the target they are shooting for is 1.5° C above preindustrial levels. If the target were changed to 2.0° C, the City would not have to be as aggressive. What the City does, by itself, will not keep global warming to 1.5° C, but this aspirational target was used to set the goals. Vice Chair Rosen summarized his understanding that there is a formula that says a certain amount of GHG Planning Board Minutes February 26, 2020 Page 4 Packet Pg. 6 converts to a specific amount of degrees. He asked if the 1.5° C target is gross or net. In other words, does it include all sources or does it exclude the contribution of the ferries and trains? He commented that, in order to meet its gross target, the City would have to conserve significantly more to offset the GHGs it doesn't have control over. Mr. Lien said the 1.5° C target was established for items the City can control. He acknowledged that other things need to happen, besides what the City can do, and public awareness will be key. The City is trying to be a leader, and has been for years. Mr. Chave added that the City can only control what is within its sphere of control. Other government agencies have targets that carry the responsibility of addressing emissions from the ferries and trains. Again, Mr. Lien advised that GHGs must stay at or below 400 parts per million (ppm) in order to meet the 1.5° C target. The Climate Action Plan is intended to address what the City can do to reduce its GHGs. In order to keep GHGs below 400 ppm, the world will need to reduce its emissions by 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2050. Mr. Chave explained that Federal Government policies address a variety of sectors. For example, the Obama administration focused on certain sectors they could control that would have a bigger proportionate impact than other things they could have done. It isn't about reducing all sectors at the same level, but focusing first on the things that will have the most impact. Chair Robles said there is a rumor that legislation has been proposed that would change zoning to allow commercial activities in single-family residential neighborhoods. He asked if these changes could be directly tied to addressing climate change. He recognized that it would reduce the miles traveled if commercial businesses were located within walking distance of residential neighborhoods. Mr. Chave said there are a number of ideas bouncing around, and he hasn't seen this specific proposal. Mr. Lien said there was a bill that would have eliminated single-family zones, but it did not go forward. It was intended to address not only climate change, but affordable housing, too. At this time, the City doesn't have any plan to eliminate single-family residential zoning, and no changes will be made until after the Housing Commission has completed its work. Planning, in general over the last decade, has been promoting development near transit centers to reduce the miles traveled, since this would reduce GHGs, too. Board Member Pence said he follows the conversation of people who call themselves "urbanists" who are promoting the anti- a single-family zoning mantra. His understanding of what they are calling for is not the elimination of zoning or the Q. importation of commercial uses into single-family neighborhoods, but just to allow the construction of multifamily units Q (duplexes, triplexes, townhomes, etc.) within zones that are currently restricted to single-family dwellings. There are M currently bills in the legislature to do that, and some states have already adopted the change. While this is a trend, he doesn't N read it as incorporating commercial or business uses into single-family neighborhoods. o Chair Robles commented that incorporating commercial and businesses uses into the single-family zones would be a very powerful way of reducing vehicle miles traveled. He acknowledged there would likely be a swell of citizen rebellion associated with zoning changes that are intended to address climate change. He commented that there are a number of technologies available to aid in the effort. For example, it is more efficient to have a delivery truck deliver groceries to everyone a street than for everyone to drive to the stores in private vehicles. The City has a problem with parking for citizens, and shared parking opportunities would assist the City in meeting the 10 strategies. He observed that a lot of cities are waiting for others to act first, but Edmonds is trying to be a leader. He questioned how much of a leader Edmonds is and how much it is willing to attend to other nuanced ways of meeting its goals. Mr. Lien responded that would be determined as the Climate Action Plan update is developed. The plan will touch on all sectors and people's habits of doing stuff, and that is why a robust public engagement process will be needed to identify what can be done, what citizens are willing to do, and what the cost will be. Chair Robles pointed out the Climate Action Plan is a topic on the Planning Board's agenda for potential code updates in 2020. He asked how much of the issue the Board will be aiming to address. Mr. Lien reviewed that the Waterfront Mixed Use and Highway 99 Zones were recently updated to include standards for electric vehicle charging stations, and these same provisions could be incorporated into other zones, as well. Chair Robles raised questions about invented energy. For example, it takes more energy to create a solar panel than the solar panel will ever deliver in terms of electricity. In effect, it becomes a type of battery. The GHG associated with manufacturing the panels goes into another jurisdiction's ledger and the City accepts the upside on its ledger. Plastic is starting to look good, too. The reason why a piece of plastic lasts 10,000 years after being dumped in a landfill is because it is sequestering carbon very effectively. Plastic versus copper piping in homes is a win/win. It's the invented and recycled Planning Board Minutes February 26, 2020 Page 5 Packet Pg. 7 2.A.a energy where you start to see significant numbers. He asked if the City would consider seeking out those measurements and applying them to the City's building standards. Mr. Lien said one target is LEED-certified building, which would capture many of these additional ideas. Chair Robles suggested there are other things the City could do in addition to requiring LEED-certified development. Mr. Lien commented that, while the City is only tracking 10 strategies at this time, other opportunities will be identified as the Climate Action Plan is updated. Some of the opportunities can be addressed by educating the public of the benefits. Chair Robles reported that he and Vice Chair Rosen met recently with Mayor Nelson, and he advised the Board to look through a green lens. He indicated the City would be open to new ideas. The Board will be interested in implementing additional ideas as part of the code update process. Board Member Rubenkonig observed that the City doesn't have the resources to create all of its own science -based standards, and that is why it is better to use international and state standards that have been developed by people with more resources at their disposal. Mr. Chave commented that multiple councils of experts work to develop the International Building Code, which is updated every three years. There are a number of reasons why jurisdictions use the International Building Code, but one big one is for consistency. Builders generally operate in multiple jurisdictions, and it becomes extremely difficult if they have to decipher building codes that vary significantly from one jurisdiction to another. That doesn't mean the City can't add its own modifications, but they generally keep pace with science and technology changes. In recent years, there has been significant work on the energy codes, specifically to reduce the use of energy in response to concern about GHG and climate change. Board Member Rubenkonig asked about the International Building Code's stand on plastics. Mr. Chave said it is a complicated subject. If you only consider the energy aspect, plastic would be the preferred material. However, plastic creates problems when it is no longer needed and is discarded. You must look at a wide variety of impacts, and not just invented energy. Board Member Pence said he doesn't see anything in the materials he has read concerning the dollar cost to the City of Edmonds. Before substantive decisions can be made, such as subsidizing the conversion of commercial and residential buildings to heat pumps, there must be clear information regarding the financial impact of the change. He asked if the consultant's work would reach that level of detail. Mr. Lien agreed that a cost -benefit analysis needs to be done for any strategy that is included in the Climate Action Plan. While they have not reached that level yet, it was identified in the resolution as something to consider. Board Member Pence noted that there has been discussion in some jurisdictions about prohibiting the installation of natural gas in new construction, with the exception of restaurants. However, the provision would only apply to new construction, and Edmonds is primarily built out. Board Member Cheung asked how the City would calculate the reduction in GHG associated with the implementation of a strategy such as requiring electric charging stations as part of new development. He noted that constructing the stations doesn't mean that people will purchase more electric cars. In addition, it could result in more impact by making gas cars drive around more to find parking spaces. Mr. Lien said the City wants to promote new electric vehicles, and one way to do that is to have the infrastructure in place for them. However, he acknowledged that anything the City does that has a benefit will have negative aspects, as well. Board Member Cheung voiced concern that, on one hand, there is a mathematical science for achieving the 1.5° C target, but on the other hand, there are so many subjective and complicated ideas. This may create a false sense that the science is exact, when in fact, much of it is theoretical. Mr. Lien agreed that the 10 strategies will not entirely fix the problem, and that is why there needs to be a larger discussion about what can be done, as well as the associated costs. They need to set reasonable goals that can be reached. Mr. Chave said the City is using an adaptive -management approach where you try different strategies and attempt to measure the results over time. The City may find that certain strategies should be discarded, but some will actually work. At this point, a lot of experimentation is going on, and that is why a lot of the action regarding climate change at this point is happening at the local level. No one has a magic formula for what needs to be done. R Planning Board Minutes February 26, 2020 Page 6 Packet Pg. 8 2.A.a Vice Chair Rosen shared an example of a system he has seen used for water conservation which could apply. The objective was how to keep water -usage levels the same for a very large metropolitan area despite 10 years of growth. The best and cheapest approach was to reduce consumption by educating the public, offering rebates and encouraging people to modify their behavior. For example, a toilet has a dollar value based on the average number of times it is flushed and the amount of water that is used for each flush, and the same would be true for a frontload washing machine. Another approach was to encourage people to change their shower heads and take shorter showers. They were able to identify a formula that made it very easy to prioritize and throw dollars at because they could calculate a return on investment. Because a dollar value was identified, people were able to receive rebates when switching to more energy efficient alternatives. Within one year, the public responded so well that the program was discontinued because there wasn't enough money coming in to populate the utility. The system worked well to both visualize and track. It seems the City has been struggling with a way to calculate and track the benefits associated with each of the strategies. Chair Robles added that the City's program is also missing incentives that entice people to change behaviors. Board Member Rubenkonig said it seems odd that the City doesn't have more quantifiable ways to measure success. Vice Chair Rosen commented that the science already exists for any of the strategies and metrics in the plan that are aimed at reducing GHG. Mr. Lien advised that the Board would be kept in the loop as the Climate Action Plan is updated. PLANNING BOARD 2020 WORK PROGRAM Chair Robles reviewed that the Board has had discussions over the past few months regarding their goals and priorities for 2020. The discussion has included what the Board wants to get done this year and what the staff can support. He and Vice Chair Rosen also met with Mayor Nelson and received feedback on his priorities. The goal is to deliver the list of priorities to the City Council for feedback at a joint meeting on March 24". He referred to the draft 2020 Planning Board Work Program and briefly summarized the Board's previous discussions as follows: • Development Code Updates: The Development Code amendments will require a lot of work on behalf of staff. The list of code updates includes Urban Forest Management Plan implementation, multifamily design standards, tree regulations, climate goal implementation, subdivision code updates, further Highway 99 implementation, and buildable lands process. • Neighborhood Center Plans and Implementation. The Board is interested in pursuing the development and implementation of neighborhood plans, such as the Five Corners Subarea Plan. They discussed the design review process with a preferred role for the Architectural Design Board. The Board would also like to pursue housing policies and implementation, as directed by the Housing Commission, and electrical vehicle infrastructure and bicycle storage requirements. • Updates to the Planning Board. The Board will receive periodic updates from the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Manager and Housing Commission. Staff will also provide progress reports on the Puget Sound Regional Council's Vision 2050 process, the Stormwater Manual update, capital projects, and Comprehensive Plan amendments. • Outreach. The Board discussed the need to improve public outreach, which can be a topic of discussion at the joint meeting with the City Council on March 24th • Joint Meetings. The Board will meet jointly with the City Council on March 241. The Board also expressed a desire to meet jointly with the Architectural Design Board during the 2°d quarter of 2020. In addition, the Board may meet jointly with the Tree Board and Economic Development Commission, as applicable. • Other Citizen Boards (Liaison). The Board indicated a desire for better communication with other City boards and commissions, and possibly assigning Planning Board representatives to attend their meetings and report back on applicable items. As discussed at the last meeting, the representatives would not be formal liaison assignments. Board Member Pence agreed to represent the Board with the Economic Development Commission and Housing Q Planning Board Minutes February 26, 2020 Page 7 Packet Pg. 9 2.A.a Commission, and Chair Robles the Architectural Design Board. They also discussed that Board Member Crank could serve as the Planning Board's Community Outreach Liaison. In addition, the Chair and/or Vice Chair will present brief updates to the City Council. Increase public engagement in Planning Board Topics. The goal is to have at least three citizens attend and comment at each meeting. The Board expressed a desire to use social media to inform the public about upcoming Planning Board topics. The City Attorney indicated this would be fine, as long as none of the Board Members share comments that give the impression they are speaking on behalf of the Board. Mayor Nelson agreed it was a good idea, and the City is hiring a part-time Public Information Officer/Communications Strategist. Chair Robles suggested that Board Member Crank work directly with this new employee on Planning Board community outreach. The Board also discussed how to increase public engagement in Planning Board topics, and one specific idea was to add an agenda item to identify and contact audiences who could have interest in the next meeting agenda. Denise Miller, Edmonds, said she represents the Edmonds Neighborhood Action Coalition and the Sierra Club, and she attends most City meetings. She is part of the Housing Commission, as well as the Mayor's Conservation Advisory Board. She attends meetings of the Tree Board and the Edmonds Port Commission. She commented that some boards and commissions form citizen subcommittees to review and provide feedback on a particular issue. This results in more buy -in and a group that can tell you what you are doing right and wrong. Transparency is one of the biggest complaints she hears, and usually it is because the information is hard to find. The City is working to improve its website, which should help. She suggested that the Board reach out to some of the community activists to hear thoughts on what the Board could do to encourage public engagement at their meetings. c • Planning Board General Expectations. The Board agreed that each agenda should generally consume 90 minutes, but meetings could run longer as needed. The first half of the meeting would include public comments and presentations from the various boards and commissions, and the second half would be dedicated to deep -diving into 0 code review, updates and revisions. The Chair and Vice Chair would support a brisk and productive pace. There is a a concern about potential staff shortages. Staff s ability to support a denser Planning Board schedule might require the Q Board to cancel a few meetings so staff can catch up and prepare Staff Reports. -- Chair Robles summarized that the Board has met with staff and discussed the proposed work plan at their retreat. The Chair and Vice Chair have validated the ideas with Mayor Nelson, and they are working with staff to populate the Planning Board's calendar. They are scheduled to meet with Mayor Nelson quarterly, and a joint meeting with the City Council is scheduled for March 241.

R HE FURTHER MOVED THAT THE BOARD FORWARD THE PROPOSED 2020 WORK PLAN TO THE CITY COUNCIL IN ADVANCE OF THE JOINT MEETING. BOARD MEMBER CHEUNG SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. NEW BUSINESS REVIEW OF EXTENDED AGENDA Chair Robles suggested there are three potential opportunities to cancel Planning Board meetings. The Board is scheduled to meet jointly with the City Council on March 24t' and they could cancel their March 25t' meeting. The Board's April 8" meeting falls during the Easter/Passover week, and that might be a good meeting to cancel. The May 27" meeting follows Memorial Day and could also be cancelled. He agreed to discuss these dates with staff, so the Board can make a decision at their next meeting. The Board will also review the draft 2020 Work Plan one more time before meeting jointly with the City Council. Chair Robles referred to the agenda for the March 11' meeting and asked the Board for feedback on who the target audience might be. The March 1 lth agenda will include updates on the Housing Commission's Work, the Building Lands process, and the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) Vision 2050 Process. He suggested that perhaps members of the Architectural Design Board (ADB) could be invited to attend. Mr. Chave suggested the Board wait to invite the ADB to attend until after the joint meeting and the Board has received feedback from the City Council. He advised that Ms. Hope would present the Housing Commission update, and Mr. Lien would present the Buildable Lands update. Mr. Chave explained that the Buildable Lands Analysis is a work program that is centered on Snohomish County working with the various cities. It is required by state law and feeds into local jurisdictions as they look at their capacity to handle growth. It is primarily a technical exercise that provides input into local jurisdiction's Comprehensive Plan processes. No Planning Board Minutes February 26, 2020 Page 9 Packet Pg. 11 2.A.a numbers have been produced for jurisdictions yet. A consultant has been hired, and they reviewed the methodology and found it to be sound. The Board discussed the idea of sending a letter to a variety of community groups, asking them to share information about what their groups do and how the Board could assist them. They agreed that it would be appropriate to invite groups to share information. However, the letter should be written as an invitation for the Board to learn, as opposed to the Board summoning them for a report. Chair Robles agreed to draft the letter for the Board's review at the next meeting. PLANNING BOARD CHAIR COMMENTS Chair Robles did not provide any additional comments. PLANNING BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS Board Member Pence said he noticed that there are four major construction projects currently underway on arterial streets. He suggested it would be helpful for staff to provide regular updates on development activity in the City. This would help the Board get a handle on how the current development code is working. Student Representative Bryan reported that he spoke with the Creativity Action and Service Coordinator for Edmonds Woodway High School about the potential for students to get service hours for attending Planning Board meetings. His position was that full International Baccalaureate students could get one or two service hours for attendance, but they would have to attend the entire meeting and be actively engaged by providing comments. The Board discussed the best way to invite and encourage students to attend their meetings. Student Representative Bryan said it will be important to do outreach to create enough inspiration and motivation for the students to come and voice their concerns. They agreed to let the Creativity and Service Coordinator know when the Planning Board is discussing a topic that the students might have a connection with > (climate change, housing, parks and recreation, etc.) and invite them to attend and provide feedback. Chair Robles agreed to a speak with staff to find out when these topics will be coming before the Board between now and June. Q.

Those actions must fall in one of two categories: 1) those that are necessary and routine city council actions; and 2) those that are necessary to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Necessary: A new Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) are scheduled to become effective June 19, 2020. The City of Edmonds must revise and adopt compliant regulations prior to this date. Failure to adopt the FIS and FIRM through revision of local regulations will result in immediate suspension from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). FEMA has stated it does not have the authority to postpone the effective dates of the maps in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. These dates are set by legislation and federal regulation that require a community to adopt the new FIS and accompanying FIRM within six (6) months of the issuance of the Letter of Final Determination. FEMA encourages communities to find whatever flexibility is available in their process to ensure that the FIS and FIRM are adopted on time to avoid the difficulties of suspension. Routine: The City typically has adopted code changes when needed to comply with federal requirements. Staff Recommendation Forward recommendation to the City Council to approve code changes related to flood damage protection consistent with the National Flood Insurance Program. Narrative Introduction Development within the City of Edmonds floodplains are regulated by the City's critical area regulations (Chapter 23.70 ECDC - Frequently Flooded Areas) and building code regulations in Title 19. Chapter 23.70 ECDC primarily points to and relies upon the building code for the substantive floodplain development regulations. New FEMA floodplain maps are becoming effective on June 19, 2020 and for the City of Edmonds to remain a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program, the City must update its floodplain regulations (Attachment 1). In order to comply with this requirement, staff is proposing to establish a new Flood Damage Prevention Chapter 19.07 ECDC located within the building code (Attachment 2). ECDC 23.70.010 is being updated only to reference the new floodplain maps (Attachment 3). Packet Pg. 13 3.1 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Background The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a voluntary Federal program that enables property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance protection against losses from flooding. This insurance is designed to provide an insurance alternative to disaster assistance to meet the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings and their contents caused by floods. Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement between local communities and the Federal Government. If a community adopts and enforces floodplain management regulations to reduce future flood risks to new construction and substantially improved structures in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), the Federal Government will make flood insurance available within the community as a financial protection against flood losses. The community's floodplain management regulations must meet or exceed criteria established in accordance with Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 60.3, Criteria for land Management and Use. SFHAs are delineated on the community's Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS). To provide a national standard without regional discrimination, the 1% annual chance (100-year) flood has been adopted by FEMA as the base flood for floodplain management purposes. Flood Insurance Rate Map Update The City of Edmonds has limited areas within the 100-year flood plains. The flood plain areas are primarily around the Edmonds Marsh, Lake Ballinger, and the mouth of Shell Creek as well as some minor areas along the north Edmonds shoreline. The old FIRM maps (Attachment 4) were adopted in 1999. Over the last several years, FEMA has been studying Snohomish County flood prone areas to update the FIRM maps. The updated FIRM maps for Edmonds jurisdiction are included as Attachment 5. The largest change in the Edmonds flood plain is in the waterfront area and the State Route 104/Dayton Street area. Under the old FIRM maps, the flood plain was largely confined to the Edmonds Marsh and along the shoreline. With the updated draft FIRM maps, the flood plain would expand to cover much of the water front area including Harbor Square and portions of the Salish Crossing site. On the updated FIRM maps, the extent of the flood plain along Shell Creek would shrink to just the mouth of Shell Creek. There would be no change in the flood plain in the City of Edmonds' jurisdiction around Lake Ballinger. Chapter 19.07 ECDC - Flood Damage Prevention The new Chapter 19.07 ECDC consolidates the City's floodplain building code regulations in a single chapter, where currently they are spread over three separate chapters with the building code. In addition to consolidating existing building code, Chapter 19.07 ECDC includes new sections from the state model floodplain ordinance. Each section in the draft Chapter 19.07 ECDC identifies where the language is drawn from.

As you implement these measures, I want to emphasize the following: a Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) have been completed for your community; the FIS and FIRM will become effective on June 19, 2020; and by the FIS and FIRM effective date, the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Regional Office is required to approve the legally enforceable floodplain management measures your community adopts in accordance with Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations Section 60.3(e). As noted in FEMA's letter dated December 19, 2019, no significant changes have been made to the flood hazard data on the Preliminary and/or revised Preliminary copies of the FIRM for Snohomish County. Therefore, the City of Edmonds should use the Preliminary and/or revised Preliminary copies of the FIRM as the basis for adopting the required floodplain management measures. Final printed copies of the FIRM for the City of Edmonds will be sent to you within the next few months. If you encounter difficulties in enacting the measures, I recommend you contact the Floodplain Management Program at Washington Department of Ecology. You may contact David Radabaugh, CFM, the NFIP State Coordinator, by telephone at (425) 649-4260, in writing at 3190 160th Avenue, Southeast, Bellevue, Washington 98008, or by electronic mail at david.radabaugh@ecy.wa.gov. The FEMA Regional staff in Bothell, Washington, is also available to provide technical assistance and guidance in the development of floodplain management measures. The adoption of compliant floodplain management measures will provide protection for the City of Edmonds and will ensure its participation in the NFIP. The Regional Office may be contacted by telephone at (425) 487-4600 or in writing. Please send your written inquiries to the Director, Mitigation Division, FEMA Region X, www.fema.gov Packet Pg. 15 3.1.a The Honorable Mike Nelson March 16, 2020 Page 2 at 130 - 228th Street, Southwest, Bothell, Washington 98021-8627. The NFIP State Coordinating Office for your State has verified that Washington communities may include language in their floodplain management measures that automatically adopt the most recently available flood elevation data provided by FEMA. Your community's floodplain management measures may already be sufficient if the measures include suitable automatic adoption language and are otherwise in accordance with the minimum requirements of the NFIP. The NFIP State Coordinator can assist you further in clarifying questions you may have about automatic adoption. You may have already contacted the NFIP State Coordinator and/or the FEMA Regional Office, and may be in the final adoption process or recently adopted the appropriate measures. However, in the event your community has not adopted the appropriate measures, this letter is FEMA's official notification that you only have until June 19, 2020, to adopt and/or submit a floodplain management ordinance that meets or exceeds the minimum NFIP requirements, and request approval from the FEMA Regional Office by the effective date. Your community's adopted measures will be reviewed upon receipt and the FEMA Regional Office will notify you when the measures are approved. I appreciate your cooperation to ensure that your community's floodplain management measures are approved by the FEMA Regional Office by June 19, 2020. Your compliance with these mandatory program requirements will enable your community to avoid suspension from the NFIP. Sincerely, top Rachel Sears, Director Floodplain Management Division Mitigation Directorate I FEMA cc: Mike O'Hare, Regional Administrator, FEMA Region X David Radabaugh, CFM, NFIP State Coordinator, Washington Department of Ecology Leif Bjorback, Building Official, City of Edmonds Packet Pg. 16 Chapter 19.07 FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION 19.07.000 Purpose 19.07.010 Applicability 19.07.020 Definitions 19.07.030 International Building Code section amendments 19.07.040 International Residential Code section amendments 19.07.050 Habitat Assessment 19.07.060 Review of Building Permits 19.07.070 Anchoring 19.07.080 Subdivision Proposals and Development 19.07.090 Manufactured Homes 19.07.100 All Other Building Standards apply 19.07.010 Purpose (From Flood Damage Prevention Model Ordinance) It is the purpose of this ordinance to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare; reduce the annual cost of flood insurance; and minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to: A.

The meeting will be live -streamed and recorded but will not be available for in -person attendance, due to coronavirus restrictions. NATIONAL, STATE & REGIONAL NEWS COVID-19 (aka "corona virus") The COVID-19 crisis continues to affect people and organizations across the nation. At the Washington state and Snohomish County level: ❑ Governor Inslee has announced a new "phased reopening" of our state. The reopening is envisioned in four stages. The exact time between each phase will depend on COVID-19 data. See the Governor's announcement at: https://www.governor.wa.gov/news- media/chart-washingtons-phased-approach. We are currently in Phase 1, but may soon move to Phase 2. The Washington State Department of Health is rapidly training personnel to support contact tracing. As of May 19, the state had 1,492 personnel who had been trained. About 630 local health professionals are also trained in contact tracing. The Snohomish Health District remains a good source of information on the coronavirus, including testing sites. See www.snohd.o Snohomish County Tomorrow (SCT) 1 1 P a g e Packet Pg. 33 6.A.a ❑ Through SCT, work on a new countywide Buildable Lands Report is underway. The report is due to the state by June 30, 2021. The purpose of this reporting is to review the growth being achieved for both population and employment and determine whether the Urban Growth Area has an appropriate supply of land at urban densities and/or whether other measures need to be taken for anticipated growth, consistent with growth management objectives. ❑ The SCT Steering Committee will meet virtually on May 27. The agenda includes a summary of PSRC activities and information on the Buildable Lands Report methodology. Alliance for Housing Affordability (AHA) The AHA Joint Board will meet virtually on May 27—with a big subject being the upcoming annual work program. Up to now, the Board has hoped to reach the ability to provide some level of gap financing assistance for qualified housing projects. However, contributions from cities in Snohomish County will probably not be adequate to allow this in the next year. a Opportunities will be explored. L AHA was established originally, among most cities and Snohomish County, to increase housing affordability, in part through information and technical assistance and, if feasible, through o financial assistance. For Edmonds, the current elected official on the AHA Joint Board is Council member Luke Distelhorst. Staff support includes from Director Shane Hope, Development Services Department. CITY NEWS COVID-19 Issues ❑ Soon more businesses, including restaurant and retail, will be allowed to re -open in Edmonds under the Governor's order —but subject to important health requirements. The City will work proactively with local businesses to help them safely re -open and continue serving the community. Assistance will include information, site visits, and other steps. ❑ With more construction projects resuming, the Development Services Department has prepared guidance to help builders and others navigate the latest requirements under the Governor's "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" Proclamation. Some of the guidance is contained in the City's updated permitting website at: http://www.edmondswa.gov/2015-01-22- 21-27-29.html. Information will be evolving as a phased approach to COVID-19 recovery rolls out. With the Governor's Phase 2" recovery plan, new construction will be allowed too, potentially starting on June 1. Other Activities ❑ Getting a development permit in Edmonds has gotten easier through a new portal system that makes applying online easier and faster for a range of permits. Other types of permits will be added to this system in the next few weeks. CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS 21 Packet Pg. 34 6.A.a General ❑ Under the current public meeting restrictions based on COVID-19 precautions, most board and commission meetings were canceled March through May. ❑ Mayor Mike Nelson sent a letter to all codified City boards and commissions to remind members of their obligation to complete training on the Open Public Meetings Act. Training can be taken online and is easy for members to do even while other work of their organizations is paused. Housing Commission ❑ The Citizens' Housing Commission met May 14, after a two -month hiatus due to COVID- 19 concerns. The May 14 meeting was deemed necessary because of the Commission's required timeline to get public involvement and deliver housing policy recommendations to the City Council by the end of 2020. The public did not attend in -person but could view the meeting online and make comments via an email address. r ❑ The May 14 meeting focused on introducing policy ideas from the five separate a committees that are listed below: o City Resources `o o Incentives and Requirements L o Housing Types o o Zoning Standards o Processes and Programs 47 So far, the policy ideas address a range of topics, including accessory dwelling units, c development fees, and the use of an existing sales tax credit for housing. N L The Commission meets next on May 28 to discuss the ideas that were introduced on May 14 and to begin to plan for which ideas should be brought to the public for input and further consideration. The Commission's May 28 meeting will be live -streamed and recorded in a manner similar to meetings of the City Council. Additional Housing Commission information is on the website. Diversity Commission Although the Diversity Film series and other planned events have been cut short due to the coronavirus crisis, the Diversity Commission is providing a virtual platform for community members to express themselves creatively and come together in hope. The platform —called "I Am Edmonds" is provided on a Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/lamEdmond Historic Preservation Commission The Historic Preservation Commission last met via Zoom on May 14. Next meeting schedules can be found online. Items of discussion included: ❑ Certificate of appropriateness at the location 825 Main Street.
