quit dragging your feet Edmonds. The state will impose the model ordinance if Edmonds keeps playing the old shenanigans of delay.
And we voters can vote out State Electds that forced these poor decisions on us. You want density, move to Seattle. It’s going great for them.
Congratulations! Thats the first time I’ve seen anybody suggest Edmonds is “dragging its feet” with all this upzoning. It feels like quite the opposite, they are trying to do too many things all at once.
There really hasn’t been much of a delay. All of the drafts are out there for public comment. The Planning Board meetings are open to the public. The extended agenda and deadlines are posted. In fact, it’s damn near impossible to get a straight scoop with things moving as fast as they are with an agenda behind them. I mean let’s keep all of the hubs and centers, let’s not pick and choose and revise those, let’s upzone for everyone and with all of the overwhelming affordable housing and tax opportunities, the City will pave the streets with dollars filling their ever abundant coffers. Or we will get 3 story tall and skinny duplexes everywhere within 1/2 mile of a hub and center. The draft code is out there….
