Edmonds Council to consider tree code, North Bowl Hub Comp Plan amendments Oct. 14

The Edmonds City Council is set to consider tree code revisions and Comprehensive Plan amendments during its meeting on Oct. 14. Proposed amendments to the tree code, established in 2021 to protect existing trees during development, aim to fix issues raised in a recent lawsuit against the city. The Council will also evaluate modifications to the North Bowl Hub, which focuses on small-scale multifamily housing and neighborhood commercial areas, based on recommendations from the Edmonds Planning Board. In July, the Council directed city staff to conduct a broader review of all new neighborhood centers and hubs, with further analysis planned for 2025.

A public hearing regarding these amendments was held on Sept. 23, indicating community interest in the matter. The meeting will commence at 6 p. m. in the Public Safety Complex and will be accessible via live stream.

Attendees can join virtually through Zoom or by phone, ensuring wider community participation. These discussions are crucial as they shape Edmonds' development framework and community planning efforts.
