This page offers information about current and anticipated development code amendment processes. Code amendments are the changes to codes and regulations that determine what can be built, where it can be built, and general design guidelines for construction.

Note that this page generally covers Titles 15-17 and Titles 20-24 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC). This page doesn't cover non-development related issues like changes to city charters or the administrative functions of the city.

Minor updates and Ongoing    maintenance

In 2023, City Council adopted Ordinance 4295 to streamline the process for implementing minor code amendments.

The City of Edmonds periodically proposes minor amendments to the City Code as part of regular cleanup. These amendments are non-substantive and do not result in policy change. Minor code amendments modernize language, eliminate typos, remove outdated references, and allow for reformatting. Periodic review occurs quarterly.
