20.80.000 Scope.
This chapter sets forth the procedure for amendment to the text and any applicable maps adopted by and within the community development code, but does not apply to other chapters of the Edmonds City Code. Because various provisions of the community development code are adopted under different state regulations, this chapter is divided into two basic divisions as set forth below.
20.80.010 Procedural and nonzoning related changes.
Amendments to the following text materials (and where applicable, maps and other incorporated codes or codifications within them) shall be reviewed and made by the city council and may be adopted in the same manner as any other ordinances. The city council may refer a proposal to the planning advisory board, or other board, commission, committee, staff, or other ad hoc group for its or their nonbinding recommendations.
A. ECDC 15.00.020, Application Fees;
B. ECDC Title 18, Public Works Requirements, except Chapter 18.50, Official Street Map;
C. ECDC Title 19, Building Codes;
D. Chapter 20.15A ECDC, Environmental Review (SEPA);
E. Chapter 20.70 ECDC, Street Vacations.
20.80.020 Zoning and planning changes.
A. Review. Amendments to the following text materials (and where applicable maps, and other incorporated codes or codifications within them) before amendment by the city council shall first be reviewed by the planning advisory board as provided in ECDC 20.100.020 using the purposes and criteria set forth in the applicable chapters as the basis for its review and recommendations:
1. ECDC Title 15, Comprehensive Plan, except application and permit fees.
2. ECDC Title 16, Zoning Districts.
3. ECDC Title 17, General Zoning, Regulations.
4. ECDC Title 20, Review Criteria and Procedure, excluding:
a. Chapter 20.15A ECDC, Environmental Review (SEPA);
b. Chapter 20.70 ECDC, Street Vacations.
5. The hearing examiner shall review amendments to the official street map, Chapter 18.50 ECDC, rather than the planning advisory board.
B. Notice. See ECDC 20.91.010.
C. When the city council, in its discretion, deems it appropriate to adopt pre-annexation zoning comparable to that in effect in Snohomish County for a proposed annexation area, the procedural and notice requirements of RCW 35A.14.340 shall control over the provisions of this chapter and ECDC 20.90.010. In the event that the city council determines it appropriate to zone property proposed for annexation to the city in a category which is not comparable to zoning in effect in Snohomish County, the provisions of this chapter and ECDC 20.90.010 shall apply. Any change to pre-annexation zoning proposed after annexation to the city shall also comply with the provisions of this chapter and said section. [Ord. 3112 § 20, 1996; Ord. 3080 § 1, 1996].
