A public hearing on draft tree regulations and an ordinance amending the Edmonds Community Development Code to allow hotels as a permitted use in the area zoned Commercial Waterfront are among the items on the Edmonds City Council’s Tuesday, Feb. 2 agenda.
The council discussed the draft regulations at its Jan. 26 meeting, and the public now has a chance to comment on them. The proposed code aims to improve tree retention with new development on private property. It would also implement low-impact development principles, would establish a tree fund into which development contributions or tree penalties can be tracked with the proceeds spent on tree planting and preservation and provide updates to definitions, the city’s existing permitting process and the penalties for tree cutting.
