AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON, WASHINGTON
AMENDING TITLE 20 OF THE ARLINGTON
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO
LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT (LID) STANDARDS
WHEREAS, the City of Arlington is required to plan under RCW 36.70A.040;
and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to incorporate into its ordinance provisions
encouraging low impact development (LID); and
WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission held a public hearing on September
15, 2015 and recommended approval of these provisions to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City Council deems the adoption of these regulations to be in the
best interests of the citizens of Arlington;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Arlington, Washington,
does ordain as follows:
Section 1. Arlington Municipal Code Section 20.08.010 shall be amended to add
the following definitions:
"Feasible" in the context of low impact development (LID) shall be determined
by evaluation against:
1. Design criteria, limitations, and infeasibility criteria identified for each
LID facility in the Washington Department of Ecology Stormwater Management
Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW); and
2. Competing needs criteria listed in Chapter 5 of Volume V of the
SWMMWW
"Low Impact Development (LID)" is a stormwater and land use management
strategy that strives to mimic pre-disturbance hydrologic processes of infiltration,
filtration, storage, and transpiration by emphasizing conservation, use of on-site
natural features, site planning, and distributed stormwater management practices
that are integrated into a project design.
"LID facilities" or"low impact development facilities" are distributed stormwater
management practices, integrated into a project design, that emphasize pre-
disturbance hydrologic processes of infiltration, filtration, storage, evaporation
and transpiration. LID BMPs include, but are not limited to: bioretention, rain
ORDINANCE NO. 2015-025 1
gardens, permeable materials, roof downspout controls, dispersion, soil quality
and depth, minimal excavation foundations, vegetated roofs, and water re-use.
"Vegetated LID facilities" include bioretention, rain gardens, dispersion,
vegetated roofs, and natural treatment areas.
"Open Drainage Facility" means an above ground facility, such as a pond or
bioretention cell, that temporarily stores stormwater runoff.
Section 2. Arlington Municipal Code Section 20.16.356 shall be amended to
read as follows:
20.16.356 -Insignificant design deviations. The community development
director or public works director may accept some deviations in code
requirements when the binding site plan allows for viable sharing of facilities,
including parking, landscaping, stormwa.ter management, pedestrian access, and
utilities.
Section 3. Arlington Municipal Code Section 20.44.020 shall be amended to
read as follows:
20.44.020 - Unit lot subdivisions (ULSS).
(a) Unit lot subdivisions is process by which the location of a building on a
lot can be placed in such a manner that one or more of the building's sides rests
directly on a lot line. Each building shall maintain a ten-foot separation€er from
other buildings.
(b) Unit lot subdivisions shall only be permitted in the Residential High
Density zone.
(c) All developments using unit lot subdivisions shall be in compliance with
the rules and regulations set forth in the LUC for subdivisions and shall meet the
following design standards.
(1) The unit lot subdivision shall comply with the Density and Dimensional
Standards set forth in Chapter 20.48. However, if alley access is proposed
the minimum setback for any structure from the alley shall be five feet.
(2) One off-street parking space shall be provided for every four lots proposed
and be adjacent to the units for which they are required. If residential
buildings have driveways and/or garages. the number of off-street parking
sp.�Lges regLdr d may be reduced.
(3) The unit lot subdivision shall provide bicycle parking facilities equal to
one stall for every four lots.
(d) Prior to submittal of the final plat, the design of all buildings shall meet
the design guidelines and shall have received design review approval.
ORDINANCE NO. 2015-025 2
(e) Existing multi-family developments which meet or can be brought into
conformance with the requirements of the unit lot subdivision may submit an
application for such unit lot subdivision.
(f) If a development proposes open or park space exceeding one hundred
twenty-five percent of the minimum requirement, buildings may exceed the
maximum allowed height requirement by five feet.
(g) Low impact development street standards may be pe.mit ware: allowed
NN'IZere feasible.
(h) Low impact development techniques for stormwater management she
used wherever-possible are required where feasible.
(i) Private roads shall be permitted to meet the minimum lot access
requirements for an alley or access tract.
Section 4. Arlington Municipal Code Section 20.44.030(e) shall be amended to
read as follows:
(e) In any FDS development, the developer may create lots and construct
buildings with reduced lot size, width, or setback restrictions except that:
(1) All perimeter lots shall regardless of the underlying zone meet the
minimum lot width for that zone.
(2) At least fifty percent of the total number of dwelling units in any
FDS development must be single-family detached residences on lots with a
minimum lot width of fifty feet in all zones except for the RHD zone where one
hundred percent of the allowable number of dwelling units may be detached
(cottage style housing) or attached residences.
(3) FDS developments must comply with the fire protection
requirements of the most current edition as adopted by the state of Washington of
the International Building Code (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC) and
the International Fire Code (IFC).
(4) Setback requirements of the underlying zone shall apply for all
property lines located on the perimeter of the FDS development. A perimeter lot
shall be a lot abutting directly on an exterior property line for the entire site.
(5) Each lot must be of sufficient size and dimensions that it can
support the structure proposed to be located on it, consistent with all other
applicable requirements of this title.
(6) In the SR Zone, lots adjacent to a critical area must have a
minimum of six thousand square feet and a minimum width of fifty feet.
(7) Each lot must be designed so that any structure can be built a
minimum of fifteen feet from any environmentally critical area buffer. I_11)
facilities are allowed within the outer 25 percent of the critical areas buffer.
(8) The maximum lot coverage specified in Section 20.48.064
(Maximum Lot Coverage) shall be met on an average for all lots in the entire FDS
ORDINANCE NO. 2015-025 3
development. Thus, in calculating the average maximum lot coverage for a lot,
the area of open space protected on that lot through FDSs may be used. However,
the developer shall state on the plat the maximum lot coverage for each individual
lot so as not to create future, unforeseen inequities.
(9) The design of an FDS development, including site layout,
landscaping, public facilities (e.g. storm drainage, parks, streets, etc.) and building
design shall be subject to recommendation from the community development staff
to the hearing examiner and recommendation from the design review board
regarding elevations and footprints of all structures pursuant to the city's adopted
design guidelines to the hearing examiner. In lieu of the DRB approving each
single- or two-family structure, the applicant may propose project specific design
guidelines consisting of elevations and footprints for these types of structures only
(multi-family residential and communal structures shall always be approved by
the DRB as part of the FDS approval). In such a case, the project specific design
guidelines shall be reviewed by the DRB for consistency with the city's design
guidelines and be subject to their recommendation to the hearing examiner. The
department of community development may then implement them
administratively when an applicant applies for building permits. Where authority
is granted by the DRB to staff to review individual single- or two-family
residential structures, the DRB shall be the arbiter between the applicant and staff.
(10) When located in the SR, RLMD, or RMD zone, multi-family
portions of an FDS development shall be situated more toward the interior rather
than the periphery of the tract, or along an adjoining arterial street, so that the
single-family detached residences border adjacent properties that are zoned for
single-family residential uses.
(11) Screening requirements (Chapter 20.76) shall apply to the exterior
boundaries of an FDS development but are not required between uses within an
FDS development. Lan&s a within LID facilities can count towards site
boundary screeging requirements.
(12) When creating an FDS development, residential subdivisions and
multi-family projects, the amount of land "saved" by creating lots that are smaller
than the standards set forth in Section 20.48.010 (Minimum Lot Size
Requirements) shall be set aside as open space. This open space shall be a
minimum of ten percent of the site and shall be improved with common
amenities. The amenities can include, but are not limited to usable open space
area, landscaped entries into the project(in addition to the standard roadway
dedication and landscaping requirements), courtyards, landscape islands in the
center of roads, additional protection of significant clusters of trees, low impact
designs (rain gardens), additional improved park space, or other amenities as may
be appropriate. Of the ten percent of open space required, twenty-five percent of
the total may include protected sensitive areas and their buffers. The hearing
examiner shall be given deference in determining what amount and mix of such
amenities counts toward this requirement as long as the minimum threshold is
ORDINANCE NO. 2015-025 4
met. In addition the applicant shall meet the comprehensive plan for open space
and park land, as well as all applicable land use code requirements.
(13) lntheRLMDandS all zones, low impact development street
standards are preferred where feasible and low impact development techniques for
stormwater management shall be used,.,t,ereyef passi leare required where
feasible.
(14) The purpose of this section is to provide flexibility, consistent with
the public health and safety and without increasing overall density, to the
developer who subdivides property and constructs buildings on the lots created in
accordance with a unified and coherent plan of development or the developer who
constructs within the RHD zone.
Section 5. Arlington Municipal Code Section 20.44.046(c)(4) shall be amended
to read as follows:
(c)(4) Open Space. A minimum of twenty percent of the total area of the travel
trailer park site must be designated common open space. Up to fifty percent of
this open space may be occupied by community recreational structures. All
common open space areas will be accessible and usable by all residents of the
park for passive and active recreation. In calculating the twenty percent open
space area, neither the surfaced width of park roads nor the bulk storage, guest,
unit parking areas, or service buildings can be included as open space. Open space
can be used for native vegetation. drought-tolerant vegetation, and vegetated LID
facilities.
Section 6. Arlington Municipal Code Section 20.44.062(g) shall be amended to
read as follows:
In addition to any screening requirements of Chapter 20.76 (Screening and
Shading), a minimum of five percent of the site shall be held as common area,
evenly distributed throughout, and adequately landscaped. Such common area
shall include any entryway(s) into the mobile home park, which shall be
landscaped to Type B, Semi-Opaque standards (see Section 20.76.040,
Descriptions of Screens). Native vegetation. drought-tolerant landscaping
vegetated LID facilities should be used whenever possible in mobile home parks.
Section 7. Arlington Municipal Code Table 20.48-5: Density and Dimensional
Standards shall be amended as set forth in Exhibit"A"hereto.

width.
Section 9. Arlington Municipal Code Section 20.48.044 shall be amended to
read as follows:
20.48.044 - Garage setbacks/minimum driveway length. All residential
driveways taking access from a public road (not including alleys) shall be a
minimum of twenty-two feet in length from the right-of-way. Permeable materials
should be used on private driveways when feasible.
Section 10. Arlington Municipal Code Section 20.72.010(a) shall be amended to
read as follows:
Except as may be modified by Section 20.76,120 (Retention and Protection of
Significant Trees), Section 20.72.084 (Reductions in Parking Space Requirements
for Provision of Alternative Transportation) or 20.72.086 (Maximum Cumulative
Reduction of Required Parking Spaces), and except as exempted by Subsection
(b), all developments in all zoning districts shall provide a sufficient number of
parking spaces to accommodate the number of vehicles that ordinarily are likely
to be attracted to the development in question. Whenever feasible. low im�aci
deti2elopmePt_must be used.
Section 11. Arlington Municipal Code Section 20.72.030 shall be amended to
read as follows:
20.72.030 Parking space dimensions.
(a) Subject to Subsections (b)and (e), and except accessible parking spaces as
per Section 20.72.064 (Accessible Parking Spaces), each parking space shall
contain a rectangular area at least nineteen feet long and nine feet wide. Lines
demar-eatingseLiaratiii spaces may be drawn at various angles in
relation to curbs or aisles, so long as the parking spaces so created contain
within them the rectangular area required by this section. In parking areas
containing ten or more parking spaces, twenty percent of the parking spaces
may contain a rectangular area of only eight feet in width by fifteen feet in
length. If such spaces are provided, they shall be conspicuously designated as
reserved for small or compact cars only. When feasible Varkin, stalls shall be
provided for motorcycles and electric cars.

Section 13. Arlington Municipal Code Section 20.76.040 shall be amended to
read as follows:
20.76.040 - Descriptions of screens.
The following three basic types of screens are hereby established and are used as
the basis for the Table of Screening Requirements set forth in Section 20.76.050
(Table of Screening Requirements).
(1) Opaque Screen, Type A. A screen that is opaque from the ground to a height
of at least six feet, with intermittent visual obstructions from the opaque portion to
a height of at least twenty feet. The width shall be a minimum of five feet wide,
but may be increased if, in the opinion of the permit-issuing authority, it is needed
to better insulate or isolate uses; and in all cases be a minimum of ten feet along
street frontages where required. An opaque screen is intended to exclude all visual
contact between uses and to create a strong impression of spatial separation. The
opaque screen may be composed of a wall, fence, landscaped earth berm, planted
native vegetation, drought-tolerant vegetation. vegetated LID facilities, or existing
vegetation. Compliance of meted vegetative screens or fia4ufal native vegetation
will be judged based on the average mature height and density of foliage of the
subject species, or field observation of existing vegetation. The opaque portion of
the screen must be opaque in all seasons of the year. At maturity, the portion of
intermittent visual obstructions should not contain any completely unobstructed
openings more than ten feet wide. The portion of intermittent visual obstructions
may contain deciduous plants. Suggested planting patterns that will achieve this
ORDINANCE NO. 2015-025 7
standard are included in the Department of Public Works' Construction Standards
and Specifications.
(2) Semi-Opaque Screen, Type B. A screen that is opaque from the ground to
a height of three feet, with intermittent visual obstruction from above the opaque
portion to a height of at least twenty feet. The width shall be a minimum of five
feet wide, but may be increased if, in the opinion of the permit-issuing authority,
it is needed to better insulate or isolate uses; and in all cases be a minimum of ten
feet along street frontages where required. The semi-opaque screen is intended to
partially block visual contact between uses and to create a strong impression of
the separation of spaces. The semi-opaque screen may be composed of a wall,
fence, landscaped earth berm, plated native vegetation, drouglit-tolerant
ct tirnj, vcgctatedL,ID facilities; or existing vegetation. Compliance of planted
vegetative screens or natural native vegetation will be judged based on the
average mature height and density of foliage of the subject species, or field
observation of existing vegetation. At maturity, the portion of intermittent visual
obstructions should not contain any completely unobstructed openings more than
ten feet wide. The zone of intermittent visual obstruction may contain deciduous
plants. Suggested planting patterns that will achieve this standard are included in
the Department of Public Works' Construction Standards and Specifications.
(3) Intermittent Screen, Type C. A screen composed of intermittent visual
obstructions from the ground to a height of at least twenty feet. The width shall be
a minimum of five feet wide, but may be increased if, in the opinion of the
permit-issuing authority, it is needed to better insulate or isolate uses; and in all
cases be a minimum of ten feet along street frontages where required. The
intermittent screen is intended to create the impression of a separation of spaces
without necessarily eliminating visual contact between the spaces. It may be
composed of plaited native vegetation or existing vegetation. Compliance of
plated vegetative screens or mural native vegetation will be judged based on the
average mature height and density of foliage of the subject species, or field
observation of existing vegetation. At maturity, the portion of intermittent visual
obstructions should not contain any completely unobstructed openings more than
ten feet wide. The screen may contain deciduous plants. Suggested planting
patterns that will achieve this standard are included in Department of Public
Works' Construction Standards and Specifications.
Section 14. Arlington Municipal Code Section 20.76.120 shall be amended to
read as follows:
20.76.120 - Retention and protection of significant trees.
(a) Every development shall retain all existing significant trees and significant
stands of trees, with a diameter at breast height (dbh) of at least eight (8) inches
for deciduous trees and at least twelve(12) inches dbh for evergile trees, unless
ORDINANCE NO. 2015-025 8
the retention of such trees would unreasonably burden the development or in the
opinion of the permit-issuing authority cause a significant safety problem.
(b) No excavation or other subsurface disturbance may be undertaken within
the dfip line critical root zone(RZ) where feasible. which may extend outside of
the drip line of existing tree branches, of any of the trees regulated by Subsection
(a), and, except for street trees, no impervious surface (including, but not limited
to, paving or buildings) may be located within twelve and one-half feet (measured
from the center of the trunk) of any tree eighteen inches in diameter or more
unless compliance with this subsection would unreasonably burden the
development. For purposes of this subsection, a drip line is defined as a perimeter
formed by the points farthest away from the trunk of a tree where precipitation
falling from the branches of that tree lands on the ground.
(c) The retention or protection of significant trees and significant stands of
trees as provided in Subsections (a) and (b) unreasonably burdens a development
if, to accomplish such retention or protection, the desired location of
improvements on a lot or the proposed activities on a lot would have to be
substantially altered and such alteration would work an unreasonable hardship
upon the developer.
(d) When significant trees or significant stands of trees are present on a site
for which a land use permit is submitted, the applicant shall provide a tree survey,
showing size, type, and location of all significant trees and stands of trees.
Critical root zones shall be fenced prior to construction �Nith orange plastic mesli
fencing or approved equivalent. Any significant trees removed because their
retention would unreasonably burden a development shall be replaced with five-
gallon-sized native species at a ratio of 3:1. If the replacement trees are to be
planted on building lots, the developer shall provide adequate protection from
damage during construction, or planting shall occur after construction, in which
case a planting plan and security shall be provided to ensure their planting.
(e) If it is physically impossible to replant all replacement trees on-site, then
the applicant may mitigate the loss of trees by either planting trees on public
property within the city as approved by the community development director,
and/or paying a mitigation fee into the city's tree mitigation in-lieu fund. This fee
shall be set forth in the city's fee resolution, and equal the cost of the trees and
planting labor.
(f) If any significant tree identified to be protected pursuant to this section is
removed or damaged to the extent that its ability to survive is seriously
threatened, without the city's prior written consent, the loss shall be remedied
pursuant to Section 20.28.040(c) (Penalties and Remedies for Violations), with
the understanding that each tree so removed or damaged shall be counted as a
separate violation.
ORDINANCE NO. 2015-025 9
(g) If space that would otherwise be devoted to parking cannot be so used
because of the requirements of Subsections (a) or (b), and, as a result, the parking
requirements set forth in Chapter 20.72 (Parking) cannot be satisfied, the number
of required spaces may be reduced by the number of spaces "lost" because of the
provisions of Subsections (a) and (b), up to a maximum of fifteen percent of the
required spaces.
Section 15. Arlington Municipal Code Subsection 20.88.220 shall be amended
to read as follows:
20.88.220 - Allowed activities.
Unless specifically prohibited elsewhere in this chapter, or unless the use affects a
critical area structure, function or value, the following uses are allowed in any
environmentally critical area:
(1) Conservation or preservation of soil, water, vegetation, fish, shellfish, and
other wildlife.
(2) Outdoor recreational activities (including fishing, bird watching, hiking,
boating, swimming, canoeing, etc.) and aquatic recreation facilities (docks, piers,
boat mooring buoys, marinas and associated uses, swimming areas, parks, etc.)
unless otherwise prohibited from a particular area because of site-specific issues.
(3) When approval is granted by the city, the harvesting of wild crops in a
manner that is not injurious to natural reproduction of such crops and provided the
harvesting does not require tilling of soil, planting of crops, or alteration of the
wetland by changing existing topography, water conditions or water sources.
(4) Education, scientific research, and use of nature trails.
(5) Navigation aids and boundary markers.
(6) Site investigative work necessary for land use application submittals such
as surveys, soil logs, percolation tests and other related activities. In every case,
impacts shall be minimized and disturbed areas shall be immediately restored.
(7) Normal maintenance, repair, or operation of existing structures, facilities,
or improved areas.
(8) Installation or construction of city road right-of-way; or installation,
replacement, operation, repair, alteration, or relocation of all sewer, water, natural
gas, cable communication, telephone, or other utility lines, pipes, mains,
equipment or appurtenances, not including substations or other buildings, only
when required by the city and approved by the community development director.
ORDINANCE NO. 2015-025 10
(9) Environmentally critical area restoration work or relocation work which
would improve the function of the environmentally critical area, when done
pursuant to a plan approved by the city.
(10) Implementation of vegetated LID facilities within the outer 25 percent of
the critical area buffer.
Section 16. Severability. Should any section, paragraph, sentence, clause or
phrase of this Ordinance, or its application to any person or circumstance, be declared
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid for any reason, or should any portion of this
Ordinance be preempted by state or federal law or regulation, such decision or
preemption shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or its
application to other persons or circumstances.
Section 17. Effective Date. The title of this ordinance which summarizes the
contents shall be published in the official newspaper of the City. The ordinance shall
take effect and be in full force five (5) days after the date of publication.
