III. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. June 2013 Financial Report (Coleman)
Finance Director Shelley Coleman presented the June 2013 Financial
Report. The General Fund revenues totaled $27.7 million and
exceeded the budget by $1.4 million primarily due to increases in
building permit revenues, sales tax revenues and City utility tax
revenues. General Fund expenditures were below budget by $3.0
million, primarily due to timing of payments.
During the month of June, 460 pet licenses were sold, compared to
466 in 2012. To date, 2,619 licenses have been sold generating
$77,295 in revenue, compared to 2,991 licenses sold in 2012. In
response to questions regarding levels of pet sales, Director Coleman
responded that the approximate $240,000 annual payment to the
Auburn Valley Humane Society was the amount suggested by the
Auburn area veterinarians to sustain an Auburn animal control and
licensing program. It is estimated that King County sold
approximately 7,000 licenses in 2012. The 2013 Budget revenue goal
is $96,000.
Director Coleman noted the Sewer Fund ended with a $392,100
operating loss (compared to an operating loss of $812,300 the
previous year, excluding Metro). The Golf Course Fund ended the
period with an operating loss of $239,200 compared to an operating
loss of $296,100 for the same period last year and reflects an
improvement in the year-to-date rounds played (22,195 compared to
20,089 for the same period last year).

CA.A Page 5 of 293
Mayor Lewis noted the Cemetery sales have slowed and the status of
the fund is being watched closely.
All enterprise funds are under a cost-of-service study.
Finance Director Coleman explained the comparison of 2013 year-to-
date budget versus actual is a comparison of the 2013 year-to-date to
a three-year rolling average of actual budget.
Finance Director Coleman explained the Non-departmental Fund
includes the City's reserves, pending retirement funds, contingencies,
LEOFF 1 medical, and segregated funds for particular projects.
Member Holman noted court, probation and SCORE expenses are in
a favorable savings status. Finance Director Coleman also
added next year the City can anticipate savings of an additional $1.5
million in jail costs and $1.5 million in court costs. The transition
costs for King County District Court are included in the Non-
departmental Fund.
Vice Chair Wales noted an increase in sales tax collection from the
manufacturing industry compared to the warehousing industry
classification.
Chair Partridge stated that a future date will be set for discussion of
the proceeds from property sales and the Auburn Avenue Theater
lease. Vice Chair Wales reported the Les Gove Community Campus
Committee may bring a draft ordinance relating to the proceeds from
future property sales.
B. Resolution No. 4980 (Dowdy)
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
formally accepting a grant from the Washington State Military
Department in the amount of Fifty Eight Thousand Four Hundred
Thirteen Dollars and no cents ($58,413.00) from the United States
Department of Homeland Security Emergency Management
Performance Grant Program and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk
to execute the necessary agreements to accept said funds
Emergency Preparedness Manager Sarah Miller presented Resolution
No. 4980, which authorizes the acceptance of an Emergency

Re: Auburn Theater Financial Information
Per the Committee’s request, attached are the following documents related to the Auburn Theater:
A. Theater Lease Agreement. This agreement was authorized by Council in July 2006 via Resolution
4063. The agreement provides for a 15 year agreement Jan 1, 2007 – Dec 31, 2021 (Section 1) with
an initial base lease payment of $5,500/month or $66,000/yr, escalated annually based upon the US
CPI-W (Section 3).
B. Theater Historical Revenues and Expenses. This table provides the annual revenues and expenditures
of the Theater, including the aforementioned lease payments. Annual expenditures for the Theater has
ranged from $121,000 in 2007 (year of inception) to $474,000 in 2012. Based upon a 4:1 direct and
indirect economic benefit ratio (four-dollars of economic benefit for every one-dollar spent), the
estimated benefit to the broader regional economy is estimated at $485,000 (in 2007; calculation:
$121,374.28 x 4) to $1.9 million (in 2012; calculation: $474,105.57 x 4).
C. Theater Lease Payments. This table presents the historical and forecasted annual lease payments
through 2021 for the Theater based upon the lease provisions discussed above. Future lease
payments are based upon an assumed US CPI-W rate of inflation of 3.0%/yr.
Please let us know if the Committee wishes further information on the above.

Re: Treatment of Proceeds from City Owned Property Sales
The City just closed on the sale of Suite 380 in the Annex Building, receipting in $1,020,000
from the sale. Additionally, there are two City owned blocks, commonly known as the
Chamber/Gambini and Crites/Huff blocks, under contract for sale. The buyer is currently
performing their due diligence on the potential purchase. The contract closing date is to occur
on or before 12/31/2013. The anticipated proceeds from the sale of these blocks is
approximately $1,650,000 ($800,000 for the SW block [Crites/Huff] and $850,0000 for the
SE block [Chamber/Gambini]). The sale of Suite 380 and the two blocks would generate
approximately $2,670,000.
Funds from these property sales will be receipted into the Capital Facility fund. Council will
decide how these funds are used in the future. These funds are considersed to be capital in
nature, which means they are one-time funds versus funding sources that are operating in
nature. Operating funds are ongoing, from period to period. Taxes or fees are an example of
operating funds. Capital funds should be deployed for projects or programs that are
considered to be a one-time expenditure such as construction projects or programs that are not
ongoing.
Council could decide to let the funds stay in the Capital Facilities fund to offset costs of capital
projects to be identified in future budgets, restrict them for use in a particular project, or apply
to existing debt.
To apply to existing debt, Council would direct to set aside funds in a special account or
defease the debt. The set aside funds would pay the remaining debt service payments. An
example would be to defease the 2010 library refunding bonds ($1,664,450) which run
through 2018. The City would put the total future debt service payments in escrow, if
defeasance is chosen, or a dedicated account if the City wishes to administer the payments.
The bonds would payout to the bond holders on schedule.
DI.B Page 107 of 293
Page 2 of 2
Under defeasance, the City would no longer be required to report the bonds as outstanding
and the debt would not be considered in the debt limit calculation. If the City sets up an
account and administers the payments then the debt would remain on the books and be
considered in the debt limit calculation. Due to the fact the City has remaining debt capacity, I
would recommend setting the funds into a special interest bearing account at the City and
administering the payments.
This would free up the $280,000 annual budget payment for these bonds and allow the City to
leverage the payment towards a new bond issue. A new 20-year bond would generate around
$3.5 to $3.9 million, depending on the interest rate.

Administrative Recommendation: Finance Committee to review Ordinance No. 6476 amending
Auburn City Code Chapter Section 16.10.110
Summary:
The purpose of this amendment to the code is to provide greater flexibility in the city’s critical area
regulations and specifically to allow mitigation, especially wetland mitigation, to be located outside the city
limits which is not currently allowed.
The general approach of these code amendments was discussed with and reviewed by the Planning and
Community Development Committee of the City Council on May 28, 2013 at their regular meeting. The
Committee was supportive of the general approach.
Staff discussed and presented an earlier draft of the code amendment language to the Planning
Commission on July 2, 2013 at their regular meeting. The proposed critical areas regulations were
subsequently modified in response to comments received from the Washington State Department of
Ecology, Mitigation Specialist.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed amendments on August 20, 2013
and forwarded a recommendation for approval based on staff recommendation.
The code amendments were reviewed and discussed by the Planning and Community Development
Committee of the City Council on August 26, 2013 at their regular meeting and the Committee forwarded
a recommendation of approval to the full city council.

16.10.110 related to mitigation standards, criteria and plan requirements
to allow mitigation outside the City (File No. ZOA12-0004)
Date: August 27, 2013
Page 2 of 8
Background
The City adopted its critical area regulations in 2005 by Ordinance No. 5894. The adoption was
a culmination of a series of extensive workshops and hearings over more than a 9-month period
with the Planning Commission and City Council. The regulations have been in effect now for 8
years, and have been working well and proven effective.
One subject area of the critical areas that has been evolving since the time of the City’s
adoption of these regulations however, is the way in which mitigation is accomplished,
especially mitigation related to wetlands. Where mitigation or compensating for the impact is
appropriate, there is generally a movement and desire in the environmental regulating agencies
to move to an eco-region approach to addressing the impact and mitigation. In the case of
wetlands, this is generally based on a watershed area or drainage basin—replacing the
resource within the same contributory surface water area of a river or lake as the impact. This
watershed basis to evaluating the location of impacts and the location of the mitigation sites
takes into account the natural environment of the resource and the fact that environmental
resources do not always neatly fit into or observe jurisdictional or political boundaries.
Auburn City Code Section 16.10.110 establishes the standards, criteria, and plan requirements
for development activities that result in mitigation of impacts to critical areas. While this section
applies to all types of critical areas, it is most commonly implemented in relation to wetlands.
This is because other types of critical areas tend to be more geographically dependant. ACC
16.10.110.B states that “Mitigation Sites shall be located in the City.” And it is recommended
that this language be modified so that the location of mitigation sites can be more flexible and
can be located outside of the City. This may also include a location outside the city through a
mitigation bank or fee in-lieu. The change would allow the mitigation site to be located outside
the City for those projects that are allowed to impact critical areas.
While the City’s critical area regulations promote avoidance of impacts to critical areas and on-
site mitigation as preferred approaches, where these are not viable, mitigation within the same
watershed is a commonly accepted approach. Different portions of the City are located within
the watershed of the Green and White Rivers, each of which extend substantially beyond the
city limits which means there is potential for pursing mitigation opportunities outside the city.
The change would also increase consistency with the approach utilized by other agencies that
have jurisdiction for wetland impacts, such as the Army Corps of Engineers, thus making it
easier for applicants to meet the mitigation requirements of various levels of government that
have jurisdiction for regulating wetlands for the same project.
Findings of Fact
1. In summary, the intent of the proposed code amendment is to provide greater flexibility in
the administration of the city’s existing critical area regulations contained in Auburn City
Code (ACC) Section 16.10.
2. The City of Auburn contains numerous areas that can be identified and characterized as
critical or environmentally sensitive. Such areas within the city include wetlands, streams

(and rivers), wildlife habitat, geologic hazards, ground water protection areas, and flood
hazard areas.
3. The City finds that these critical areas perform a variety of valuable and beneficial
biological and physical functions that benefit the city and its residents. Alteration of
certain critical areas may also pose a threat to public safety or to public and private
property or the environment. The city therefore finds that identification, regulation and
protection of critical areas are necessary to protect the public health, safety and general
welfare.
4. The critical area regulations and other sections as incorporated by reference contain
standards, procedures, criteria and requirements intended to identify, analyze, and
mitigate potential impacts to the city's critical areas, and to enhance and restore
degraded resources where possible. The general intent of these regulations is to avoid
impacts to critical areas. In appropriate circumstances, impacts to specified critical areas
resulting from regulated activities may be minimized, rectified, reduced and/or
compensated for, consistent with the requirements of this chapter.
5. It is the further stated intent of the city’s critical area regulations to:
1. Comply with the requirements of the Growth Management Act (Chapter
36.70A RCW) and implement rules to identify and protect critical areas and to
perform the review of development regulations required by RCW 36.70A.215;
2. Develop and implement a comprehensive, balanced and fair regulatory
program that avoids impacts to critical resources where possible, that requires
that mitigation be performed by those affecting critical areas, and that thereby
protects the public from injury, loss of life, property or financial losses due to
flooding, erosion, landslide, seismic events, soil subsidence, or steep slope
failure;
3. Implement the goals and policies of the Auburn comprehensive plan,
including those pertaining to natural features and environmental protection, as
well as goals relating to land use, housing, economic development,
transportation, and adequate public facilities;
4. Serve as a basis for exercise of the city's substantive authority under the
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and the city's environmental review
procedures, where necessary to supplement these regulations, while also
reducing the city's reliance on project-level SEPA review;
5. Provide consistent standards, criteria and procedures that will enable the
city to effectively manage and protect critical areas while accommodating the
rights of property owners to use their property in a reasonable manner;
6. Provide greater certainty to property owners regarding uses and activities
that are permitted, prohibited, and/or regulated due to the presence of critical
areas;
7. Coordinate environmental review and permitting of proposals involving
critical areas with existing development review and approval processes to avoid
duplication and delay pursuant to the Regulatory Reform Act, Chapter 36.70B
RCW;

8. Establish conservation and protection measures for threatened and
endangered fish species in compliance with the requirements of the Endangered
Species Act and the Growth Management Act requirements to preserve or
enhance anadromous fisheries, WAC 365-195-925;
9. Alert members of the public, including appraisers, assessors, owners,
potential buyers or lessees, to the development limitations of critical areas and
their required buffers.
6. The City adopted its critical area regulations in 2005 by Ordinance No. 5894.
7. The proposed amendment of the city’s critical area regulations is exempt from the
“Notice of Application” procedures under ACC 14.02.070, “Project permit or project
permit application” and ACC 14.02.040, “Development regulations”, since the adoption
or amendment of critical area regulation is a type of “development regulation” that is not
a "Project permit" or "project permit application". The Notice of Application is required
only for project permits and not development regulations.
8. The code amendment is subject to environmental review process under the Washington
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). A Determination of Non-Significance (DNS)
was issued July 22, 2013 and the city observed a fourteen-day public comment period.
The City did not receive any comments in response to notice of the public comment
period.
9. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.106, the proposed critical area code amendment was sent to
the Washington State Department of Commerce and other state agencies as required
for the state review of modifications of development regulations. The amendments were
sent on June 27, 2013. The City requested expedited review, as allowed by their
procedures. The Department of Commerce granted expedited review and
acknowledged receipt on July 1, 2013.
10. In response to submittal of the proposed critical area amendment to the Washington
State Department of Commerce and other state agencies, the city received comments
from the Washington State Department of Ecology, Critical Area Ordinance Coordinator
and Alternative Mitigation Specialist. The comments made some edits to clarify under
what circumstances mitigation is allowed to be constructed off-site and added some
language to allow more mitigation options. After critical review, the city incorporated
their comments.
11. The general approach of these code amendments was discussed with and reviewed by
the Planning and Community Development Committee of the City Council on May 28,
2013 at their regular meeting. The Committee was supportive of the general approach.
12. Staff discussed and presented an earlier draft of the code amendments language to the
Planning Commission on July 2, 2013 at their regular meeting. The proposed critical
areas regulations were subsequently modified in response to the Washington State
Department of Ecology comments received.

15. The public hearing notice was published on August 8, 2013 in the Seattle Times
newspaper at least 10 days prior to the Planning Commission public hearing scheduled
for August 20, 2013.
16. The following conclusions support the proposed amendments to Chapter 16.10.110,
scheduled for the Planning Commission’s August 20, 2013 public hearing with a staff
recommendation of approval.
Conclusions
1. These code amendments are supported by the City of Auburn’s Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan contains several goals, objectives, and policies that promote
flexibility in the City’s development regulations and prescribe the approach to
development regulations. The Comprehensive Plan also has sections that address the
protection and management of environmentally-sensitive or critical area resources. The
following goals, objectives, and policies excerpted from the Comprehensive Plan relate
to this proposal:
2. Excerpt from : CHAPTER 1 – PLAN BACKGROUND
“GOAL 2 – FLEXIBILITY: To provide predictability in the regulation of land use
and development, especially where residential uses are affected, but to also
provide flexibility for development through performance standards that allow
development to occur while still protecting and enhancing natural resources,
cultural resources and critical lands and in overall compliance with this
Comprehensive Plan.”
“Discussion: Predictability of land development regulation is important to both
existing and future property owners and to new development. It assures property
owners that adjacent properties will develop in a consistent manner and it helps
new development to plan for their development based on knowing what is
allowed and what is not. Since all parcels are not identical, however, it is helpful
to have some flexibility in land development regulation. While a variance can
sometimes resolve some of these issues, regulations which provide some
flexibility in the form of performance standards can help to provide development
which better meets the goals and policies of this Comprehensive Plan rather than
strict adherence to a set standard established in the zoning ordinance.”

“A discussion of issues and polices related to this goal can be found in Chapter
2: General Approach to Planning.”
Complies: This goal sets out that all of the City’s regulations should be designed to
provide predictability while maintaining the ability for flexibility. By providing a wider
range of methods critical area mitigation is accomplished this code amendment provides
predictability and consistency. Also, in furtherance of this goal, the code amendment
provides that mitigation banking or fee in lieu programs may also be used to satisfy
mitigation. On-site mitigation also continues to be an option.
3. A similar theme as the goal in Chapter 1 is expressed in Chapter 2 as follows:
CHAPTER 2 – GENERAL APPROACH TO PLANNING
“GOAL 2 – FLEXIBILITY: To provide predictability in the regulation of land use
and development, especially where residential uses are affected, but to also
provide flexibility for development through performance standards that allow
development to occur while still protecting and enhancing natural resources, and
critical lands and in overall compliance with this Comprehensive Plan.”
“Objective 2.4. To provide for the development of innovative land management
techniques to implement this Comprehensive Plan.”
“Policies:
“GP-17 Flexible land development techniques including, but not limited
to, clustering and planned unit developments (PUDs) for the development
of residential, commercial, and industrial properties shall be considered to
implement this comprehensive plan.”
“GP-18 Flexibility should be provided to encourage compact urban
development, to protect critical areas and resource lands, to facilitate the
use of transit or non-motorized transportation, and to encourage the
redevelopment of underutilized or deteriorated property.”
“GP-19 Any flexibility should be easy to administer and should provide
the community with an adequate level of predictability.”
Complies: This goal, objective, and related policies address the need for flexibility in
critical area regulations while addressing the importance of protection and management
of critical areas.

natural resources. To encourage natural resource industries within the city to
operate in a manner which enhances, (rather than detracts from), the orderly
development of the City.”
“Objective 18.4 To continue to enhance and maintain the quality of important
wetland resources in the City and region.”
“Policies:”
“EN-27 The City recognizes the important biological and hydrological
roles that wetlands play in providing plant and animal habitat, protecting
water quality, reducing the need for man-made flood and storm drainage
systems, maintaining water quality, and in providing recreational, open
space, educational and cultural opportunities. The City will consider these
roles and functions in all new development and will also pursue
opportunities to enhance the existing wetland system when these multiple
benefits can be achieved.”
“EN-28 The City recognizes that wetlands provide varying degrees of
biological and hydrological functions and values to the community
depending on the size, complexity and location of the individual system,
and that the overall degree of functions and values should be considered
when reviewing proposals which impact wetlands. In a similar manner,
the levels of protection afforded to a wetland shall be consistent with its
existing function and values. The City shall continue to promote policies
and practices of enhancing the wetlands that are hydraulically connected
to the river systems to improve fish resources and aquatic habitat.”
“EN-29 The City shall consider the impacts of new development on the
quality of wetland resources as part of its environmental review process
and shall require appropriate mitigation and monitoring measures of
important wetland areas. Such mitigation may involve conservation,
enhancement or restoration or replacement of important wetlands, and
provisions for appropriate buffering. The goal of the mitigation should be
no net loss of wetland functions and values. A permanent deed
restriction shall be placed on any wetlands created or enhanced to ensure
that they are preserved in perpetuity.”
“EN-30 Wetlands which are associated with a river or stream, or provide
significant plant and animal habitat opportunities are recognized by the
City as the most important wetland systems, and shall receive the highest
degree of protection and mitigation through conservation, enhancement
or relocation measures. Wetlands which are limited in size, are isolated
from major hydrological systems, or provide limited hydrological or plant
and animal habitat opportunities may be considered by the City for
development and displacement in conjunction with appropriate
mitigation.”

Page 8 of 8
Complies: This goal, objective and the related policies address the need for flexibility in
the approach to critical area regulations and seek to balance the importance of
protection and management of critical areas commensurate with the quality of the
resource. These policies, which are specifically related to wetlands, address
opportunities for enhancement of wetland resources as provided through mitigation,
address that mitigation should be designed to replace functions and values lost due to
impacts, that mitigation may involve conservation, enhancement or restoration or
replacement of wetlands and that the degree of protection and mitigation will vary with
the quality or the resource. The proposed code change provides increase flexibility
without a reduction in mitigation standards.

following code changes are in the best interest of the City
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN, as follows.
Section 1. Amendment to City Code. That section 16 10 110 of the
Auburn City Code entitled "Mitigation standards, criteria and plan requirements" is
hereby amended to read as follows.
16 10.110 Mitigation standards, criteria and plan requirements
A. Mitigation Standards Adverse impacts to critical area functions and
values shall be mitigated Mitigation actions shall generally be implemented in
the preferred sequence identified in this chapter Proposals which include less
preferred and/or compensatory mitigation shall demonstrate that:
1 All feasible and reasonable measures as determined by the department
have been taken to reduce impacts and losses to the critical area, or to avoid
impacts where avoidance is required by these regulations,
2 The restored, created or enhanced critical area or buffer will be as
viable and enduring as the critical area or buffer area it replaces, and
3. No overall net loss will occur in wetland or stream functions and values
The mitigation shall be functionally equivalent to or greater than the altered

wetland or stream in terms of hydrological, biological, physical, and chemical
functions.
B Location and Timing of Mitigation
1 The preferred location of mitigation is on-site when ecologically
preferable to other identified alternatives. Mitigation may be allowed off-site eaty
when it is determined by the department that on-site mitigation is not srieRtifisally
alp ecologically preferable to other identified alternatives OF PraGt Gal due to
p-hy6=iGa4-featic es of the property, or, in the case of wetlands, where the affected
site is identified as appropriate for off-site mitigation in the Mill Creek Special
Area Management Plan (SAMP), April 2000 The burden of proof shall be on the
applicant to demonstrate that mitigation cannot be provided on-site or is
consistent with the SAMP When on site If it is
determined that on-site mitigation is not ecologically preferable to other identified
alternatives, mitigation shall be provided in the same drainage basin as the
permitted activity on property owned, secured, or controlled by the applicant. or
provided by the applicant using alternative mitigation options such as mitigation banking
or in-lieu fee programs. The where %;ueh mitigation is--pr-astisal-and beRef sial should
result in no net loss to the critical area functions impacted and associated
r-eseurseswatershed Mitigate teS-6".11—be IOGated within the Gity Where
mitigation is authorized to be located outside the City limits, the Applicant shall assure to
the satisfaction of the Department that other requirements of this Chapter will be met
including but not limited to, monitoring and maintenance
2. In-kind mitigation shall be provided except when the applicant
demonstrates, and the department concurs, that greater functional and habitat
value can be achieved through out-of-kind mitigation
3 When wetland, stream or habitat mitigation is permitted by these
regulations, the mitigation project shall occur near an adequate water supply
river, stream, ground water) with a hydrologic connection to the critical area to
ensure a successful mitigation or restoration A natural hydrologic connection is
preferential as compared to one which relies upon manmade or constructed
features requiring routine maintenance
4 Any mitigation plan shall be completed before initiation of other
permitted activities, unless a phased or concurrent schedule that assures
completion prior to occupancy has been approved by the department.
C Wetland Replacement Ratios
1 Where wetland alterations are permitted by the director, the applicant
shall enhance or create areas of wetlands in order to compensate for wetland
losses The compensation shall be determined according to acreage, function,
type, location, timing factors and projected success of enhancement or creation
2 The following acreage replacement and enhancement ratios shall be
implemented, however, the department may vary these standards if the applicant
can demonstrate and the director agrees that the variation will provide adequate
compensation for lost wetland area, functions and values, or if other
Ordinance No. 6476
August 27, 2013
Page 3 of 5
DI.C Page 120 of 293
circumstances as determined by the director justify the variation Except as
provided for Category IV wetlands in subsection (C)(3) of this section, in no case
shall the amount of mitigation be less than the area of affected wetland The
director may at his discretion increase these standards where mitigation is to
occur off-site or in other appropriate circumstances
3 Category IV wetlands can either be mitigated by either (a) meeting one
of the replacement ratios (*see following table), or (b) implementing mitigation
which ensures no net loss of values and functions of the larger ecosystem in
which the critical area is located

Description of Proposal
The non-project action is a proposal to amend Chapter 16.10—Critical Area Regulations
of the Auburn City Code. More specifically, the amendments propose to amend Section
16.10 110, "Mitigation standards, criteria and plan requirements" to allow mitigation to be

B ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. Earth
a. General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes,
mountainous, other
The City of Auburn is characterized by a relatively flat valley floor bordered by steep
hillsides and upland plateaus overlooking the valley See Section D, Nonproject Action.
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The slopes vary in the city and Potential Annexation Areas (PAA), but in some locations
slopes associated with the valley walls reach 100%. See Section D, Nonproject Action.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand,gravel,
peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils,specify them and
note any prime farmland.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. The valley floor is made up primarily of soils of the
Oridia, Renton, Snohomish, and Briscott series. These soils are poorly drained and
formed in the alluvium (river sediments) associated with the White and Green rivers.
These are considered good agricultural soils, though in many areas, are not well-drained.
There is no designated farmland within the City of Auburn.
The hillsides and plateaus are made up of primarily Alderwood associated soils and a
small amount of Everett associated soils (U S. Department of Agriculture, 1973).
Alderwood soils are moderately well drained gravelly sandy loams 20-40 inches deep.
Beneath these soils is glacial till with low permeability Roots penetrate easily to the
hardpan layer Runoff potential is slow to medium. Erosion and slippage hazard is
moderate, ranging to severe on steeper slope phases The Everett series consists of
somewhat excessively drained soils that are underlain by very gravelly sand. These soils
formed in very gravelly glacial outwash deposits under conifers. They are found on
terraces and terrace fronts and are gently undulating to moderately steep.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity?
If so, describe.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Many factors affect slope stability including soil type,
parent material, slope and drainage. These factors can be further affected by human
intervention such as slope alteration, and vegetation removal. The city has identified
categories of geologic hazard areas and inventoried these areas. Maps of the erosion
and landslide hazard areas are provided as Maps 9.6 and 9.7, respectively in the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
e. Describe the purpose,type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading
proposed. Indicate source of fill.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable. The proposed amendments to the
Auburn City Code are non-project actions, no site alteration, construction, or earthwork is
proposed.
DI.C Page 128 of 293
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST (CONTINUED) TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction,or use? If so, generally
describe.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable. This is a non-project action.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after
project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable. The action does not involve site
specific development proposal.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if
any:
See Section D, Nonproject Action. This is a non-project action, no site specific erosion
control is proposed. However, the existing comprehensive plan includes numerous
policies to reduce or control erosion through the use of best management practices,
landscaping requirements, limitations on alteration of steep slopes and other critical
areas protections. Impacts to earth will be identified and, if necessary, mitigated during
the development review process as specific development proposals are made that might
be associated with these plan amendments.
The city also has adopted a City Engineering Design Standards Manual and a City
Construction Standards Manual that address erosion impacts (ACC Chapter 12.04 as
referenced by ACC 15.74).
2. Air
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust,
automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke)during construction and when the
project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if
known.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable. This is a non-project action.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal?
If so, generally describe.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable. This is a non-project action.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
See Section D, Nonproject Action Not applicable This is a non-project action.

3. Water
a. Surface:
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site
including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds,wetlands)?
If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river
it flows into.
The proposal is a city-wide nonproject action - See Section D, Nonproject Action. The
major bodies of water within Auburn are the Green River, the White River, Mill Creek,
Bowman Creek, and White Lake. The city has conducted an inventory of wetlands within
the city limits. These are shown on Map 9 3 of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The
Green and White Rivers in Auburn are Type S streams designated as Shorelines of the
State in the City of Auburn Shoreline Master Program.
2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet)of the
described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable. This is a non-project action.
3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed
from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be
affected. Indicate the source of fill material.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable. This is non-project action.
4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable. This is non-project action.
5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note location on the site
plan.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable. The designated 100-year floodplain
areas for the Green River, White River, and Mill Creek, as well as frequently flooded
areas (as defined by the City of Auburn Public Works Department) are shown on Map
9 4 of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If
so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable This is non-project action.
b. Ground:
1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to ground water?
Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable. This is non-project action.
DI.C Page 130 of 293
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST (CONTINUED) TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks
or other sources, if any(for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the
following chemicals; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system,
the number of such systems,the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or
the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable. This is non-project action.
c. Water runoff(including stormwater):
1) Describe the source of runoff(including storm water)and method of collection
and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will
this water flow into other waters? If so, describe.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable. This is non-project action.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe.
See Section D, Nonproject Action. Not applicable This is non-project action.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water
impacts, if any:

Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction
with the list of the elements of the environment. When answering these questions, be
aware of the extent the proposal or the types of activities likely to result from the
proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the
proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air;
production,storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of
noise?
The proposal would not be likely to increase discharge to water, emissions to air,
production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise.
The City seeks to change the city's critical area regulations to allow increased flexibility in
where the mitigation is allowed to be performed or constructed as compensation for
impacts to environmentally-sensitive resources. The most common critical areas to use
this code provision are in relation to wetland resources since these are less
geographically dependent The city's regulations currently restrict mitigation to being
located only within the city limits. This location restriction was largely due to the fact that
when the regulations were first drafted and adopted, the City did not previously have a
critical areas ordinance and was not familiar with how all of the provisions of the
regulations would work. Due to this unfamiliarity, the city sought to have a greater
amount of regulatory control by requiring that the mitigation occur where the city had
regulatory oversight. Since the time of the adoption of the city's first critical areas
ordinance, the city has greater experience and familiarity in how mitigation is performed
and the necessary oversight to ensure critical area functions are replaced.
The city code language continues to require that the mitigation site be located within the
same drainage basin. The change is therefore not anticipated to result in a change in
the hydrologic contribution within the drainage basin.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
The City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan contains provisions to reduce increases or
emissions caused by new development. Emphasis in the Comprehensive Plan on
reducing the reliance on the automobile for transportation should reduce the amount of
emissions to the air Policies in the Environment Chapter also provide guidance in the
review of development proposals to encourage retention of and replanting of native
vegetation. This supports wildlife habitat areas, particularly near streams, as the policies
assist the City in addressing adverse impacts to water quality and wildlife habitat from
runoff since native plantings may require less pesticide use.
Non-exempt development will be subject to SEPA requirements to evaluate and mitigate
impacts related to discharges, emissions, and the release of toxic substances.
Evaluation of the site specific proposals will be based on the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan and appropriate mitigation will take place on a case by case basis.
City development standards including but not limited to the critical areas ordinance (ACC
16.10), shoreline master program regulations (ACC 16.08), the City's Engineering
DI.C Page 140 of 293
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST (CONTINUED) TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
Design Standard and Construction Standard Manuals (ACC 12.04) also provide
additional protection for these types of impacts.
Auburn City Code contains performance standards towards uses and activities with in
the City (ACC 18.31 —Supplemental Developmental Standards). These standards
regulate noise, emissions to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous
substances.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals,fish, or marine life?
It is unlikely the proposed code amendment will have any adverse effect on plants,
animals, fish, or marine life.
The code change seeks to provide more flexibility in where mitigation is allowed. Under
the code provisions, mitigation will be allowed to be performed on-site as currently is
allowed, but also off-site. The most common critical areas to use this code provision are
wetland resources since there are often less geographically dependent Those animals
and insects who depend the impact site (such as a wetland), that are less mobile and
cannot find alternate habitat in close proximity could perish on the replacement wetland
mitigation) is allowed to be constructed at a further distance from. It is the goal of the
city's critical area regulations to provide replacement functions for those functions being
lost due to the impact so it is not anticipated that the various functions of wetlands would
be diminished or lost.
The proposed amendments are not expected change the developable area of the City
The proposed amendments would not introduce any new land uses in areas where they
are not currently allowed.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
Generally, the adopted Auburn Comprehensive Plan and critical areas ordinance seek to
protect and conserve plants, animals, fish, and marine life. SEPA environmental review
of all non-exempt development is conducted to evaluate, reduce and avoid or mitigate
impacts. The evaluation is based on the policies of the Auburn Comprehensive Plan and
appropriate mitigation will take place for each future development proposal on a case-by-
case basis.
Policies within the Environment Chapter also provide guidance in the review of
development proposals to encourage use of native vegetation and the retention of native
vegetation. This should support wildlife habitat areas, particularly near streams as the
policies assist the city in addressing adverse runoff impacts to water quality and wildlife
habitat since native plantings may require less pesticide use.
City development standards including but not limited to the critical areas ordinance and
the shoreline master program regulations also provide additional protection for these
types of impacts.
The City would authorize the mitigation to occur off-site when the location off-site is
ecologically preferable. When because of the particular circumstances of the site, the
location off-site will yield a greater ecological benefit or increased wetland functions.
DI.C Page 141 of 293
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST (CONTINUED) TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
There are no expected significant increases in the use of energy or natural resources
resulting from the amendments being proposed.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
None specifically, as this is a non-project action. However, in addition to the provisions
of the Auburn Energy Management Plan (adopted in 1986), which encourages energy
conservation in public buildings, street lighting, and recycling, the comprehensive plan
places an emphasis on providing for alternative methods of travel to the automobile such
as transit, walking, and biking.
An environmental review under SEPA of all non-exempt development will be conducted
to measure the project impacts
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas
or areas designated (or eligible or under study)for governmental protection; such
as parks,wilderness,wild and scenic rivers,threatened or endangered species
habitat, historic or cultural sites,wetlands,floodplains, or prime farmlands?
The proposal is unlikely to affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated for
governmental protection.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
The comprehensive plan and, in particular, the critical areas ordinance (ACC 16.10),
seek to protect environmentally sensitive areas (wetlands, streams, geologically hazard
areas, floodplain, wildlife habitat, and aquifer recharge areas) and to reduce the impacts
of development on them. The Auburn Comprehensive Plan provides for the
implementation of innovative land management techniques to protect these resources
Among the innovative land management techniques, the Flexible Development
Alternatives Chapter(ACC 18.49) includes incentives for enhancement or restoration of
critical area buffers, and/or encouraging development to locate farther from critical areas
than currently required by code.
SERA environmental review for all non-exempt development will be conducted to
evaluate impacts.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including
whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with
existing plans?
Amendments can only be approved if the Applicant can assure to the city that future
development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and its policies and related
regulations. Those proposals that are not consistent with the comprehensive plan
policies or other existing plans will not be approved.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
The comprehensive plan, critical areas ordinance, and other development regulations,
such as the zoning ordinance and shoreline master program, seek to protect these land
and shoreline resources and to reduce the effects of development on them. An
DI.C Page 142 of 293
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST(CONTINUED) TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
environmental review under SEPA of all future development that is non-exempt will also
be conducted to evaluate a proposal's land use and environmental impacts.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities?
The proposal is not expected to affect the total number of housing units or the number or
types of commercial developments that could be built in the City of Auburn, therefore the
proposal is not expected to increase demands on transportation or public services and
utilities as compared with the current zoning regulations.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
The City has adopted a six-year Transportation Improvement Program (2013-2019) that
identifies projects to meet safety needs, capacity needs, access needs, projected
funding. The Comprehensive Transportation Plan is an element of the City's overall
Comprehensive Plan. It is the City's long-range plan for developing its transportation
system over the next 15 years. This plan helps ensure that transportation impacts are
adequately monitored and evaluated on a project level and city-wide basis.
The City has an adopted 2013-2018 Capital Facilities Plan. Also, the city actively
engages in planning for public facilities. The Comprehensive Water Plan and new
Comprehensive Sewer Plan were adopted by the city in 2001 The Comprehensive
Drainage Plan was adopted in 2002. A Comprehensive Transportation Plan was
adopted in 2005 with updates during the 2006 Comprehensive Plan amendment cycle.
These plans help ensure that utility impacts are adequately monitored and evaluated on
a project level and city-wide basis.
An environmental review under SEPA for all non-exempt development will be conducted
to evaluate environmental impacts. Environmental impacts that must be addressed
during the SEPA review process include traffic, public services, and utilities.
7. Identify, if possible,whether the proposal may conflict with local,state, or federal
laws or requirements for the protection of the environment.
The proposal does not conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for
protection of the environment. The change would increase consistency with other
authorities since many county, state and federal agencies with jurisdiction for wetland
impacts are allowing alternate forms of mitigation, such as in-lieu fee programs or
wetland mitigation banking. Permit requirements of these other authorities often
encourage applicants to pursue alternate forms of mitigation.

Background Summary:
Over the last several months, the City has been working on an approach to address
student/rental housing within the City with attention on the single family residential communities
that are located nearby Green River Community College (GRCC). Some of the concerns
raised include parking impacts, unpermitted conversion of garages to living space, lack of
proper solid waste management, noise impacts, and an overall conversion of single family
residences to rentals.
A joint meeting was held between the Planning and Community Development Committee
(PCDC) and the Planning Commission on August 12, 2013 where the program approach to
rental housing and broad policy direction on proposed amendments were discussed. Staff took
the feedback provided and prepared draft code amendments that were presented at the August
20, 2013 public hearing before the Planning Commission. Public testimony was provided and
the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendments with a few
minor changes.
At the August 26, 2013 PCDC meeting, the Committee reviewed the proposed code
amendments and recommend approval of Ordinance No. 6477 to the full City Council.

Zoning Code Text Amendment
WASHINGTON ZOA13-0003
Staff Report to the Planning Commission
I. BACKGROUND AND GENERAL INFORMATION:
Over the last several months a number of residents who live in the single family residential
communities that are located nearby Green River Community College (GRCC) have
expressed concern that they are observing a spike in rental homes in their neighborhood
that are occupied by students of GRCC Their concerns include
Parking impacts,
Unpermitted conversion of garages to living space,
Overcrowding of single family homes with too many occupants,
Lack of proper solid waste management,
Noise impacts, and
An overall conversion of single family residences to rentals.
This staff report outlines the proposed amendments and program approach to rental
housing, more specifically addressed to rentals within single family neighborhoods.
II. SEPA STATUS:
Pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(6), non-project actions such as code amendments are not
exempt from environmental review The City issued a Determination of Non-Significance
August 5, 2013. The comment period ends August 19, 2013 and the appeal period ends
on September 3, 2013.
III. FINDINGS OF FACT:
1 In general, the intent of the proposed zoning code amendments is to address an
inconsistency in the code and comments received from citizens related to student/rental
housing. The City originally broke the project into two phases but through the review
process ultimately determined that a holistic program approach was needed.
2. The process for zoning code text amendments is described in ACC Chapter 18.68
18.68.020 Initiation of amendments.
B. Text.
1 The city council, or planning and development committee of the city council, upon its
own motion may request the planning commission to conduct a public hearing to amend
any portion or all of this title; provided, that text amendments that are purely
administrative or procedural do not require a public hearing, nor do they require
preliminary review or recommendations of the planning commission;
2. The planning commission may upon its own motion call for a public hearing to amend
any portion or all of this title, with the exception of purely administrative or procedural
amendments;

3. Any resident or property owner of the city may petition the city to request an
amendment to the text of this title.
C For the purposes of this chapter, substantive amendments shall be distinguished
from procedural or administrative amendments in accordance with the following:
Substantive" matters relate to regulations that define or limit what can be done in terms
of conduct, use or action (e.g., what use may be made of land, what requirements apply
to development, what public infrastructure may be required of certain developments),
and "procedural' or"administrative" matters are those that relate to the process of how
an application to take such action must be pursued (e.g., time limits for applications and
appeals, what forms must be used, and where or how applications must be submitted.
Essentially, "procedural' or"administrative" matters are the mechanical rules by which
substantive issues may be pursued). (Ord. 6287 § 2, 2010; Ord. 6198 § 3, 2008; Ord.
4840 § 1, 1996, Ord. 4304 § 1(46), 1988; Ord. 4229 § 2, 1987 )

meeting held on August 12, 2013 for review and discussion.
7 The public hearing notice was published on August 8, 2013 in the Seattle Times at least
10-days prior to the Planning Commission public hearing scheduled for August 20,
2013. The public hearing notice was also posted at the City's Annex Building at One
East Main Street and on the City's website.
8. The following conclusions support the proposed amendment to Title 18, Zoning, and
Title 5, Business and Licenses Regulations scheduled for the Planning Commission's
August 20, 2013 public hearing with a staff recommendation.
IV. CONCLUSIONS:
1. Pursuant to ACC Section 18.68 020, amendments of Title 18 require a public hearing
before the Planning Commission with a public hearing notice published at least 10-days
prior to the public hearing date.
Staff Analysis:
The public hearing notice was published in the Seattle Times on August 8, 2013 which is
at least 10-days prior to the Planning Commission public hearing scheduled for August
20, 2013. The public hearing notice was also posted at the City's Annex Building at One
East Main Street and on the City's website.
2. These code amendments are supported by the City of Auburn's Comprehensive Plan as
follows:
GP-2: The City should develop its plans and programs after thorough analysis of
community problems, potentials, and needs.
Chapter 4 — Housing: Auburn's housing strategy is for home buyers and renters of all
income groups have sufficient opportunities to procure affordable housing.
HO—28 The City recognizes that the development of safe neighborhoods requires
the cooperation of property owners and/or their property managers. The City shall
organize, educate, and assist property managers in the creation and preservation of
safe neighborhoods.
Staff Analysis:
The proposed code amendments address rental housing within the City of Auburn, more
specifically student rental housing, and deal with existing conflicts within the Auburn City
Code. Staff proposes to amend the following:

DI.D Page 160 of 293
Title 18—Zoning
Amend the definition of family
Amend the definition of dwelling
Add a new definition communal residence
Add a new definition owner occupied
Delete the boardinghouse definition
Add a new section to Supplemental Development Standards for Communal
Residence
Title 5— Business and Licenses Regulations
Amend Rental Housing Business License section by adding licensing
requirements for Communal Residence
Housekeeping item changing the fiscal year to calendar year
The proposed code amendments balance the allowance of rental housing within residential
neighborhoods and address issues associated with rental housing that have arisen such a
parking, solid waste service, yard maintenance, and noise. Particulady with the proposed
amendments to Title 5, a heavier burden is placed on the ownerAandlord of the rental unit to
make sure tenants are following regulations and being good neighbors within the
community. If the conditions of the rental housing business license are not adhered to, the
City may revoke the license and move into code enforcement action. Code enforcement
procedures are outlined in Chapter 1.25 of the Auburn City Code. Staff will bring additional
information regarding code enforcement procedures to the August 20, 2013 public hearing.
The proposed amendments also address potential safety concerns, such as illegal garage
conversions and number of bedrooms, by requiring an annual inspection of the rental unit
verifying the information submitted with rental housing business license application is
correct. A primary goal of the proposed code amendments is to address the situation where
individual leases for each bedroom in a unit exist versus the traditional rental housing
situation where there is one lease for the occupants by requiring more oversight by the
landlord and requiring an annual inspection of the rental property/unit.
Also as part of the overall program, the City will be adding a page to its website on rental
housing with information for landlords, tenants, FAQs, a list of compliant properties, and the
application forms. We will also be working with Green River Community College and
request that they also include similar information on their website.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONIDECISION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council approval
of the proposed code amendment as presented.

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS:
1. Earth:
A. General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes,
mountainous,other.
Page 2 of 16
DI.D Page 177 of 293
Environmental Checklist (continued)TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
The City of Auburn is characterized by a relatively flat valley floor bordered by steep hillsides
that plateau.
B. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The slope of the valley walls in the city varies, but some slopes associated with the
valley walls reach 100%. Most sites on the valley floor have limited slopes.
C. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel,
peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and
note any prime farmland.
The valley floor is made up primarily of soils of the Oridia, Renton, Snohomish and Briscott
series. These soils are fairly poorly drained and formed in the alluvium (river sediments)
associated with the White and Green rivers. These are considered good agricultural soils,
though in many areas, are not well-drained. There is no designated prime farmland within
the City of Auburn.
The soils in the uplands are predominantly of the Aldenvood series. These soils drain
moderately well and are typically located on slopes ranging from 0-70%.
D. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate
vicinity? If so, describe.
Many factors affect slope stability including soil type, parent material, slope and
drainage. These factors can be further affected by human intervention such as slope
alteration, and vegetation removal. The city has identified categories of geologic hazard
areas and inventoried these areas. Maps of the erosion and landslide hazard areas are
provided as Maps 9.6 and 9 7, respectively in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
E. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading
proposed. Indicate source of fill.
Not applicable. The proposed amendments are non-project actions, so no site
alteration, construction, or earthwork is proposed.
F. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally
describe.
Not applicable. Non-project action.
G. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after
project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
Not applicable. The action does not involve site specific development proposals
H. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth.
This is a non-project action so no site specific erosion control is proposed. However, the
existing comprehensive plan includes numerous policies to reduce or control erosion
through the use of best management practices, landscaping requirements, limitations on
alteration of steep slopes and other critical areas protections. Impacts to earth will be
Page 3 of 16

D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS
Do not use this sheet for project actions.)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction
with the list of the elements of the environment
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent of the proposal, or the types of
activities likely to result from the proposal that would affect the item at a greater intensity
or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in
general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air;
production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of
noise?
The proposed code amendments to Title 18, Zoning, and Title 5, Business Licenses and
Regulations, should have a minimal change in discharging to water, emissions to air,
production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances or the production of noise.
While the proposed code amendment could apply to undeveloped property, the City's
stormwater design manual addresses stormwater discharges and the City has other
regulations addressing emissions to air and hazardous substances.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
The City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan contains provisions to reduce increases or
emissions caused by new development. Emphasis in the Comprehensive Plan on reducing
the reliance on the automobile for transportation should reduce the amount of emissions to
the air Policies in the Environment Chapter also provide guidance in the review of
development proposals to encourage native vegetation. This should support wildlife habitat
areas, particularly near streams, as the policies assist the City in addressing adverse
impacts to water quality and wildlife habitat from runoff since native plantings may require
less pesticide use.
An environmental review of all non-exempt (from SEPA) development will be conducted to
evaluate and mitigate impacts related to discharges, emissions, and the release of toxic
substances. Evaluation of the site specific proposals will be based on the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan and appropriate mitigation will take place on a case by case basis.
City development standards including but not limited to the critical areas ordinance,
shoreline master program regulations, and the Design and Construction Manuals, also
provide additional protection for these types of impacts.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The proposal is not likely affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life. However, as noted
below, the City has development standards to provide protection for these types of impacts.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants,animals,fish, or marine life are:
Generally, the adopted Auburn Comprehensive Plan and critical areas ordinance seek to
protect and conserve plants, animals, fish, and marine life. An environmental review under
SEPA of all non-exempt development is conducted to measure impacts. Evaluation based

on the policies of the Auburn Comprehensive Plan and appropriate mitigation will take place
on a case-by-case basis.
Policies within the Environment Chapter also provide guidance in the review of development
proposals to encourage native vegetation be used and/or retained. This should support
wildlife habitat areas, particularly near streams as the policies assist the city in addressing
adverse runoff impacts to water quality and wildlife habitat since native plantings may
require less pesticide use.
City development standards including but not limited to the critical areas ordinance and the
shoreline master program regulations also provide additional protection for these types of
impacts.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
Future development will use natural gas and electricity and could result in increased
automobile uses. However, there does not appear to be any significant adverse increases
in the use of energy of natural resources resulting from the amendments being proposed to
the existing comprehensive plan over what might occur under existing plan designations.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
None specifically, as this is a non-project action. However, in addition to the provisions of
the Auburn Energy Management Plan (adopted in 1986), which encourages energy
conservation in public buildings, street lighting, and recycling, the comprehensive plan
places an emphasis on providing for alternative methods of travel to the automobile such as
transit, walking, and biking. An environmental review under SEPA of all significant
development will be conducted to measure the project impacts.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or
areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as
parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat,
historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
Taken as a whole, there should not be any change in impacts from existing regulations on
environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated for government protection. Regulations are
in place to protect environmentally sensitive areas regardless of the use of the land or these
proposed code amendments.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
The comprehensive plan and, in particular, the critical areas ordinance, seek to protect
environmentally sensitive areas (wetlands, streams, geologically hazard areas, floodplain, wildlife
habitat, and aquifer recharge areas) and to reduce the impacts of development on them. The
Auburn Comprehensive Plan provides for the implementation of innovative land management
techniques to protect these resources. An environmental review under SEPA for all non-exempt
development will be conducted to evaluate impacts.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether
it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
Page 15 of 16
DI.D Page 190 of 293
Environmental Checklist (continued)TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
Amendments can only be approved if it can be assured that future development is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and its policies and related regulations. Those
proposals that are not consistent with the comprehensive plan policies or other existing
plans will not be approved.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
The comprehensive plan, critical areas ordinance, and other development regulations, such
as the zoning ordinance and shoreline master program, seek to protect these land and
shoreline resources and to reduce the effects of development on them. An environmental
review under SEPA of all development that is non-exempt will also be conducted to evaluate
a proposal's land use and environmental impacts.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities?
The proposed amendment could lead towards development that may increase demands on
public services, the transportation network, and utilities. The City has adopted a traffic
impact fee structure to address impacts to the transportation network.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
The Auburn Comprehensive Plan presently incorporates the 2013-2018 Capital Facilities
Plan updated, which seeks to maintain a sufficient level of service for public services as
development occurs.
Also, the city actively engages in planning for public facilities. The Comprehensive Water
Plan and Comprehensive Sewer Plan updates were adopted by the city in 2009 The
Comprehensive Drainage Plan update was also adopted in 2009. The Comprehensive
Transportation Plan was adopted in 2005 with updates during the 2006 and 2009
Comprehensive Plan amendment cycles. These plans help ensure that utility impacts are
adequately monitored and evaluated on a project level and city-wide basis.
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal
laws or requirements for the protection of the environment.
The proposal does not appear to present any conflict with local, state, or federal laws or
requirements.

Subject: Re: Follow Up Item From May 21st Community Meeting at Green River Community College
Good morning Mr. Tate,
Sorry for not get this done earlier.
A little about me first:
I am Robert Kent DeWitt, retired fire chief and former Asst. State Fire Marshal. I have a
Bachelors degree in Fire Command Administration but, more importantly, I have an AA
degree in Real Estate, which gives me some perspective on the issues related to residential
real estate here in my community.
I have a home in the Rainier Ridge development on Leah Hill. I purchased it about 10 years
ago, close to GRCC so my daughter could attend. I started renting rooms out to other
students while she was here so that she wouldn't be alone if I was off traveling (which I do a
lot of as I am retired).
I have continued to rent rooms to students because I am gone more than I am here and it
keeps the home occupied, which protects my property rather than being vacant and
uninsurable. I have had many international students over the years....some from Hong Kong,
mainland China, Taiwan, Viet Nam, Indonesia, Korea, California (?), and a few others that I
can't recall at the moment.
My house is a 4 bedroom rambler and I usually rent two rooms but have rented all of them on
occasion, depending on my plans for being here or not. I have also had ongoing maid service
to clean common areas as the students aren't big on cleaning other's messes. My yard is
professionally maintained as well. This protects my investment and keeps the neighbors
happy too.
I am familiar with various codes and have even been responsible for certain programs like
weed abatement requirements for maintenance of residential property. I am also aware of
building codes and requirements for habitable spaces. Both of these areas are generally
already in existing codes enforced by cities.
As a foreign traveler, I have visited over 23 countries around the world, many of them 3rd
world. Many cultures do not share the luxury of having a private bedroom for each person. In
my experience, the norm would be a shared room, sometimes entire families sharing one
sleeping room. I certainly do not advocate that but it is important to note what is relevant to
others.
DI.D Page 194 of 293
I recently attended an informational meeting at GRCC where issues of concern to neighbors
were discussed. Some of my neighbors seemed upset and, perhaps a little racist, as to their
concerns about students living in their midst. They talked about cars being parked and about
speeding cars as well. The few times I have seen speeders here, they were not students but
others who live here. I was almost hit once when I pulled onto 318th Way from 126th by a
car doing about 40. I made a hand signal for him to slow down and he came racing back to
ask what I was complaining about. I told him the speed limit was 25 and he insisted it was 35
though he was doing about 40+. I digress!
I think that as a responsible homeowner (landlord?) living here that I have the right to rent
out individual rooms to students. I am filling part of a huge need for housing. The
neighborhood is evolving as it does in every other college neighborhood. There are already
sufficient rules and codes dealing with yard maintenance (nuisance abatement), garages being
converted to living space (building code and fire codes), on street parking, speeding, etc. We
DO NOT need more rules,just enforcement of those already in existence.
The tricky part of the issue is probably in the area of number of occupants to occupy a
bedroom. For the sake of my property, I usually limit one person to each of the regular
bedrooms. However, I have in the past rented a room to a student with a baby, who shared
the same bedroom. I have also rented out the master bedroom to a couple (married but what
difference?). In this day and age of marriage for same sex couples and for same sex couples
to live together as a couple, how in the world do you expect to regulate that and why would
you want to?
From a truly pragmatic point of view, I think it is the home owner who should decide how
many people he rents his property to, not the government. Government can and should
regulate that the property be maintained in a clean and safe manner. As a homeowner, I know
that the wear and tear on a property is significantly increased when the number of people in
residence increases. But that is my problem, not the city's problem.
So regulate and enforce rules about smoke detectors, emergency lights, yard maintenance,
parking regulations (don't block driveways, etc.). But we do not need government telling us
how many people can be in our homes. Common sense and economic conditions will dictate
this. If my neighbors are truly concerned, then they should realize that their properties' value
is determined by their highest and best use, and that that use is changing. GRCC is growing
as is the entire world. Things have changed in this neighborhood and given the proximity to
GRCC, it is going to become more reliant on the availability as a student housing option.
The campus apartments currently charge about $700 per student to live in a 4 bedroom
apartment. My home is only a couple blocks away and 1 charge $550. Theoretically I could
bring in $2,200 per month if I didn't maintain space for myself. That leaves a lot of room for
maintenance and management as well as potential profit. There are waiting lists for the
apartments and I have never had problems with renting out rooms, usually renting to kids
who are friends of the ones who are graduating and moving on. Homes such as mine are
necessary for the college to function as an international school.
As an added note, 1 declare the income I receive by renting out rooms. Someone at the school
once told me that there was an IRS ruling that said 1 didn't have to claim it as income. That
didn't seem to make sense so I continue to claim on my taxes. If others are not, then perhaps
there is a need to evaluate this "exclusion" as a means of controlling the potential growth of
DI.D Page 195 of 293
rentals here in this neighborhood. But if my neighbors think that they can regulate room
rentals out of existence, then they should rethink their goals and realize that the economics of
it will dictate that this is no longer a simple neighborhood that will remain a cluster of
families living in isolation. The best use of the homes in this neighborhood is for auxiliary
student housing and that will be the future. Investors are going to buy our homes, not young
families. The values will be higher as a result and that should bode well for the existing
owners too.
I am sorry that I can not be there on the 18th. I will be visiting friends in Port Angeles and
then spending a few days in Oregon. However, I am willing to attend future meetings to
answer any questions you may have of me (subject to in travels of course) and you may also
feel free to call me at as well on my cell phone: I would prefer to not publish
my phone number in case my thoughts might provo a of ers to harass me though I would
gladly defend my opinions publicly at any time.
Thank you for the opportunity to be considered on this issue.

Mr. Dewitt,
I apologize that the scheduling change creates a conflict. Written comments would be very
helpful. Perhaps we can schedule a phone call as well so that we can go over your comments
in advance of the June 18th meeting? That way, I can do the best job I can to present them to
the Planning Commission. Additionally, this first action is limited to revising the definition
of family so that we don't have a gap in our code that allows up to 8 non-family members to
live together as a single housekeeping unit. Removing this language will help code
enforcement take action on properties that are loaded with renters who have no relation to
each other I hope that you see this as a good first step for the City to take while we discuss
the next steps/actions.
I would be happy to make myself available for a phone call in the next two weeks, however I
think it would be most productive if you prepared your comments first so that I have a chance
to read them and we can have a little deeper conversation about how to get you plugged in
and to make sure you are able to influence the process.

Dear Elizabeth,
I am not able to attend the meeting on August 12, but, would like my opinion heard. I live in Rainier Ridge at
31812 125th PL SE, Auburn. It has come to my attention that the zoning codes for my area are in consideration
for change. I bought my home 14 years ago with the intention of living in a community of other single family
homes with the knowledge that some rentals would be in the neighborhood. I am completely against the zone
codes being modified so that rooming and boarding houses would be legal in my neighborhood. The fact that it
is happening illegally already is bad enough, let's not make it worse. I find that home owners typically have a
better love for their house and therefore take better care. In turn that keeps the neighborhood looking nice and
the values higher than if the neighborhood was filled will boarding houses of people who do not have the same
love for the home. Being a Realtor I have seen more than the average person in regards to housing and
therefore have a strong opinion in this matter. If boarding/rooming houses are in need let's build some more
student housing and leave the existing neighborhoods alone. Enforcement of the current code would also be
appreciated to prevent further illegal activity from continuing. Kindly include my email in your discussion and
consideration.

Dear Elizabeth,
I know that the City of Auburn is considering changing the zoning codes in the neighborhood adjacent to Green
River Community College. I am an English professor at Green River Community College, and I live in the
Ranier Ridge subdivision at 12443 SE 318th Way I have lived at this location for over twelves years and over
the years have watched as people have bought houses in the area not to live in , but to carve up, cutting up
garages and even living rooms without permits, and changing their houses into Boarding Rooming Houses.
These are currently illegal by the code we live under And now it appears that the city wants to change the
zone to accomodate these illegal conversions.
One of these conversions is right next to me, and I can attest that no family lives there. In fact, at times there
have been eight students living there. The house has been allowed to run down, cars have been parked on the
lawn, trash is left out for days, there has been little, if any, repair done on the structure, and rats have been
found on the property who have migrated onto my property I maintain my home and find it offensive that the
city is willing to support people who do not live in the area who are going to make a quick buck at the expense
of the neighborhood. I know my neighbors and I love living in a neighborhood designed for families. I am aware
that a couple of my neighbors have filed complaints to the Planning/Code Enforcement Office of Auburn about
these conversions, only to learn that one of the long term code enforcers of Auburn is doing the same type of
illegal conversions in houses close to the college. Those who have complained have been visited by code
enforcers and have been cited for seeming "irregularities" on their property It is appalling that those with the
authority to enforce the law are not only violating the laws themselves, but are also using their office and power
to stiffle legitimate complaints. This is a country of laws and not coercion. This problem has also been pointed
out to city officials.
And now the city is exploring possibilities of allowing Boarding Houses in our single family neighborhood. I am
totally against this possible change. The college needs to build more dorms if it cannot handle the international
students that it is recruiting, instead of creating a serious problem for the neighborhood that is affecting both
the quality and the safety of our home and our families. Of course, it is also affecting the economic values of
1

our homes. I supported being annexed to Auburn because I thought we as a community would be more
protected by our elected representatives. I expect you to take that responsibility seriously
I want this email to be officially included in your formal discussions and for your thoughtful consideration.

We have lived at 12817 SE 318th Way for 5 years. We could rent an apartment for much cheaper than we pay
to live here; but we choose to live here because we want to live in a peaceful neighborhood of single family

Please do not change the zoning codes; we implore you to enforce the code as it now exists. If this turns into a

Pertaining to the Issues of Illegal Rooming Houses in Neighborhoods Surroundin
4000 9 40
Nancy Welch and Jeff Tate,
Living close to the Green River Community College our neighborhood has been targeter 6y 6rupu-
IOUS individuals that have been running illegal rooming houses. To be clear, the motive is pro ift'and to
that end many have resorted to increased occupancy by converting existing garages into hidden bed-
rooms and living spaces. These conversions have been done with no permit, no inspection and by
unlicensed persons doing substandard work and questionable electrical hookups. It can be assumed
that appropriate insulation of the spaces and venting of water heaters have not been addressed accord-
ing to code. The fact that the interior conversions are sitting behind non-operable garage doors is a
code violation in itself.i
Initially I and others have gone to the persons working in the GRCC program serving international stu-
dents to try to enlist their help in protecting their students who are being taken advantage of, but they
have stated that they have no control on where students live if they are not housed in their own campus
apartment village. These very issues have been mentioned directly by me to other officials of the col-
lege including the President, Eileen Ely and no action has been taken. I have spoken openly in city
sponsored and college sponsored meetings of our concerns for the students'well being as well as this
assault on the integrity of our neighborhood with little if any response from the college.
The only response of real significance occurred just this Spring when the office seeing to the housing
options for international students has removed the option of the HomeShare program from their avail-
able choices. Cyndi Rapier has personally related to me that they no longer support or will refer stu-
dents to houses for obtaining living arrangements. The HomeStay program where students live with a
local family and the Campus Corner Apartments are now the only options listed.
In late summer of 2010, getting no help or concern from the college community I filed a formal com-
plaint against three of these houses with the City of Auburn. I stated that they were being run as room-
ing or boarding houses (illegal in R-5 zoning) and also stated that non-permitted and un-inspected con-
versions had been made in the garages for living spaces and could be a danger to the people living in
them.
Several days after making this complaint two code enforcement officers showed up at my house saying
they had a complaint against the property. I mentioned that I had made a complaint against three other
properties. Professing that they must have written down my address by accident (were they unfamiliar
with the complaint form format?, did they not have a copy of the complaint form with them as part of an
open file?) one of the officers said he noted that I had a couple of unregistered mini-trucks in my drive-
way that appeared to be not drivable. The other one said "Perhaps you should make sure your own
house is in order before complaining about your neighbors."
I remember laughing at the time and saying "OK, I get it." I later received a citation and was given 21
days to correct the situation.After the bulk of that time had gone by, I contacted the officer, Donald Hill
and explained that I was having difficulty finding a buyer for my vintage (45 year old) pickups and
needed some more time. He expressed passing concern giving me slightly longer but said that he
would be forced to see me cited with daily fines if I did not comply within his stated time frame. I later
sold my trucks for about a third of their value and the violation was closed.
But what you may wonder happened to the properties that I had included in my complaint?
NOTHING!
I
DI.D Page 203 of 293
Reading the reports in the recently obtained records I find out that the whole of the investigation of
these properties was to drive by and look for a violation.Apparently their X-ray vision googles were out
of batteries or in the shop for repair as they were not able to see the bedrooms hidden behind garages
doors.
After they completed several more drive by inspections the cases were closed. Before this occurred I
also emailed a photograph I took one evening of one of the houses while standing in a public space
sidewalk)that revealed normal living furniture and lamps through the window at the side of the garage.
The reply I received from code enforcement was dismissive and they stated that they were concerned
that I had violated someone's civil rights and had forwarded the photo on to the police department.
The Records of the Three Cases (plus One Recent One):
Please remember when reading these cases that the original complaint was specifically about rooming
house activity and illegal interior construction.

12401 SE 318th Way, Auburn 98092
A drive by inspection was done. Donald Hill notes he could not see any violation from the outside.At
the request of Rick Hopkins, he and CJ (Chuck Joiner?) repeated the drive by inspection a week later
and again noted no violation.
Donald Hill also reports that he spoke with the complainant(me) and that I confirmed that the"viola-
tions appear to have ceased." This is LIE! No conversation ever occurred between Hill and myself
concerning my complaint. My only contact with him was concerning my citation for my non-running
trucks.

cluded in the file on this action, so we must assume that he looked at the building strictly from the out-
side.
He also reports that he returned to discuss the complaint with me and that I reported that the"violations
appear to have ceased." This is LIE! No conversation ever occurred between Hill and myself where I
denied that the rooming house activity or the possible garage living spaces had disappeared.

See Attachment 5- four pages)
By the way, there is no business license associated with this address.
VI010-0773 (2010)
12437 SE 318th Way,Auburn 98092
This case lasted longer than the others. The initial response was just like the others (drive by inspec-
tions) and then the record notes the photographs I sent in which actually did spark some additional in-
terest and record checking, ending in a call to the owner(Kevin Bauer).
He admitted that there were living spaces behind the garage door (but denied they were bedrooms).
He stated the house was rented to a single family, a point that is vehemently disputed by his next door
neighbor, Hank Galmish, who had to deal with a number of problems with loud, rude, and messy stu-
dents living there.
Informed of the need for a business license and the need for permit and inspection of the additions,
Kevin Bauer applied for his business license (BUS 27548) and filed for an alteration building permit
ALT10-0339) and so the case was CLOSED (See Attachments 6, 7, and 8)
What happened?
NOTHING!
Once the case was closed the progress on the alteration permit ceased and was thereafter ignored by
the property owner The last communication between the city and Kevin Bauer is a letter from Jeff Tate
dated January 11 2011 (See Attachment 9).
Kevin Bauer has continued to renew his business license for both his home and the house in Rainier
Ridge (the alleged illegal rooming house).
The Bauers appear to surpass the legal allowable level of subleases at their own home housing as
many as four students at a time (See <http'//www n-seiryo ac ip/—nonaka/sap/111050/epage01 htm>).
However, he has failed to inform the city that he now owns and rents out many more additional proper-
ties in Auburn.
His real estate holdings also include:
18121 ST NE Meadow Brooke Estates
Auburn, WA 98002 (a 4 Plex) Parcel Number 540900-0020
1011 18TH ST NE Meadow Brooke Estates
Auburn, WA 98002 (a 4 Plex) Parcel Number 540900-0090
11114 SE 320TH ST* Placed in R-5 zoning code
Auburn, WA 98092 (a mobile home) Parcel Number 082105-9046
DI.D Page 205 of 293
this last property is another suspected rooming house close to GRCC
I believe his actions in not reporting his additional rental properties represents a "misrepresentation of
the facts" as is stated legally as a reason for losing a business license in Auburn.
Kevin Bauer has been a person uniquely positioned to take advantage of the international student
population for his own personal gain. For years he was listed as a member of the Contact Advisory
Board for the International Program at GRCC.
See: httos'//www greenriver edu/international/hostoost/spring2012 issue019 hhn from March of last
year).
I realize that this is hearsay but in a recent conversation with a neighbor it was reported that Bauer had
told him how lucrative it could be, renting to students. That he too should get a house and do it. The
comment was that if you were not banking $2000 a month pure profit than you were not doing it right.
V1013-0082
12620 SE 317th St,Auburn 98092
Lastly, I would like to include a case that has come up just recently. In trying to raise awareness of our
problems I have hosted both Deputy-Mayor Nancy Backus and Jeff Tate for walks around parts of Rain-
ier Ridge to show them our neighborhood and point out some of these properties that are being used
illegally. When Nancy Backus came we looked through the two added side windows of a garage to ob-serve two carpeted bedrooms all hidden behind a non-functional garage door.This house was in fore-
closure and unoccupied at the time. Because of her own report a new violation case was opened.
The violation was posted on February 19 of this year. The house was almost immediately sold AS-IS
and the violation was then the responsibility of the new owners.
Plenty of work has been done on the house, replacing much of the flooring with wood, outside upkeep
and maintenance has been done and now the exterior is being painted. However NOTHING has ap-
parently been done with the garage rooms. There are reported to be five students living in the house. j
The current homeowner has made some moves to address the matter and, in fact, filed for an inspec-
tion on April 12th (See Attachment 10). This inspection request, for some unknown reason was not j
logged into the case file until July 30th and on that same day Jason Arbogast CLOSED THE CASE.
No inspection has been done, no renovation or demolition occurred and the rooms as observed and
cited in the original Violation presumable still exist. It was only because of my own Intervention that this
came to light and the case has been reopened by Jeff Tate (see Attachment 11)
What questions does this all raise and what would I like to see done at this point?
1. Please reopen all the older cases cited above (VIO10-0637, V1010-0652, V1010-0773) and take
a serious look at the houses, accommodations, physical use as might indicate piecemeal rentals being
done to individuals not a single rental as is allowed by code.A simple request to ask the inhabitants to
lift the garage door and the resultant excuses as to why that is not possible could reveal much.
If this can't be done then I will come in and make out a new complaint for the same reasons as I stated
three years ago.
DI.D Page 206 of 293
2. Why is there such variability and vagarity in application and time periods given for compliance to
a violation? I was given 21 days to take care of my trucks(with one small extension).
The violation (VI013-0082) posted on the house viewed by Deputy Mayor Backus stated that there
was only 14 days for compliance but currently 6 months has passed without resolution or any real plans
being discussed. Not even the requested inspection originally logged in on April 12th had been done.
When the code enforcement officer, Mr.Arbogast, actually logged in the request for inspection on July
30th he also then CLOSED THE CASE, WHY?
The violation posted for Mr. Bauer's house was closed when he applied for a permit that he then never
bothered to pursue. It is now nearly three years since that violation was initially filed and there has been
no follow-up of any kind on the alteration permit.
3. Please recognize that these cases openly flaunted the zoning codes and have occurred without
any effort at correction by the City (even when specifically requested). It appears to be well known that
this is a situation others can exploit because we are now seeing even more of it. One of the city's own
code enforcement officers is engaged in such ownership/activity Why would it be appropriate to now
suggest finding ways to make this currently prohibited use of property legal?The traffic system corol-
lary would be to note that no one bothers to stop or obey a particular traffic signal, so the answer is to
take it down.
4. Serious attention has to be paid to the training and knowledge of the code enforcement officers
in Auburn. They either do not understand their jobs, or are too free to exercise the power of their posi-
tions. Why are cases arbitrarily CLOSED when nothing has been resolved? I would have to say that my
contacts with them have been nothing but punitive, insulting and aimed at ensuring that I do not speak
out or ask for laws to be followed.
Please protect our neighborhood and our property values, please follow the existing zoning code re-
strictions and close these illegal rooming houses!

DEPARTMENT COMMENTS
Building Division Comments
This report is provided as information only, and Includes the items that have been Identified as
deficiencies or needing to be addressed during the plan review. It is not intended to be an
all-inclusive list of code requirements that may be applicable or required to construct this
project. Please note that not all items or issues may have been Identified or discerned during
the plan review process. If any item or Issues are discovered or Identified during construction or
at the time of field inspections these will need to be addressed and corrections made so that
code compliance is achieved. Please contact the Building Inspector before deviating from
approved plans or proceeding with any changes in construction.
This plan review is based on submitted construction documents and Information provided with
the application. Requirements of the 2009 edition building codes were used as the basis for the
plan review. Based on the correction items, revised drawings are required. Please provide
corrections for the items listed below.
1. Indicate on the plans the direction of the roof rafters or trusses. This will help us to
determine the correct sizes for the headers.
2. What is the size of the combustion air vents for the water heater and heater?
3. How was the washer hooked up to the existing plumbing?
4. Where does the dryer vent exhaust to? How long is it?
5. What rooms or buiiding(s) are adjacent to this construction area?
6. The Washington State Energy Code requires that the exterior walls have a minimum
insulation value of R-21. Please indicate on the plans how the additional insulation will

9. You have indicated on the plans that the wails have R-13 Insulation installed in them.
The Washington State Energy Code requires that these walls have a minimum of R-21
and the ceilings are required to have a minimum of R-38. One option that you can look
into-if the insulation values are not what they should be go to an insulation contractor or
the WSU Energy Code program and do a performance calculation. This will allow you
the opportunity to do trade-offs.
10.Also note that all headers are required to be sandwiched around R-10 ridged insulation.
Please note this on the plans.
11. Indicate on the plans the size and location of the required combustion air vent(IRC G-
2407).

Russ Campbell came into the office after receiving the
public disclosure materials. He showed me that this
case had been closed and that the notes indicated that
the reason it was closed was because a permit had been
issued. After looking at the record I noticed that the
only action that had been taken was for the landowner
to receive an inspection(INS 13-0004). An INS is a
courtesy inspection to help the scope the types of
permits that are required to correct a violation. Since
no permits have been applied for or issued I have
reopened the case. The case is not to be closed until a
final inspection on a building or demolition permit has
been performed and approved:..........._-_-----_--__--_......

WASHINGTON ZOA13-0005
Staff Report to the Planning Commission
I. BACKGROUND AND GENERAL INFORMATION:
Recent inquiries from private developers have raised questions about the market viability of
meeting the mixed-use standards required for the C-1, Light Commercial zone. In
particular, concerns have been raised over the required 50% of the cumulative ground floor
space for a development with 2 or more buildings be dedicated to commercial retail,
entertainment, of office uses.

August 5, 2013. The comment period ends August 19, 2013 and the appeal period ends
on September 3, 2013
III. FINDINGS OF FACT:
1 In general, the intent of the proposed zoning code amendments is to amend what
amount of commercial is required for multi-family development within the C-1, Light
Commercial zone.
2. The process for zoning code text amendments is described in ACC Chapter 18.68:
18.68.020 Initiation of amendments.
B. Text.
1 The city council, or planning and development committee of the city council, upon its
own motion may request the planning commission to conduct a public hearing to amend
any portion or all of this title; provided, that text amendments that are purely
administrative or procedural do not require a public hearing, nor do they require

to development, what public infrastructure may be required of certain developments),
and "procedural' or "administrative" matters are those that relate to the process of how
Zoning Code Text Amendment ZOA13-0005
Staff Report to the Planning Commission

Page 1
DI.E Page 234 of 293
an application to take such action must be pursued (e g., time limits for applications and
appeals, what forms must be used, and where or how applications must be submitted.

8. The following conclusions support the proposed amendment to Title 18, Zoning,
scheduled for the Planning Commission's August 20, 2013 public hearing with a staff
recommendation.
IV. CONCLUSIONS:
1 Pursuant to ACC Section 18.68.020, amendments of Title 18 require a public hearing
before the Planning Commission with a public hearing notice published at least 10-days
prior to the public hearing date.
Staff Analysis:
The public hearing notice was published in the Seattle Times on August 8, 2013 which is
at least 10-days prior to the Planning Commission public hearing scheduled for August
20, 2013. The public hearing notice was also posted at the City's Annex Building at One
East Main Street and on the City's website.
2. These code amendments are supported by the City of Auburn's Comprehensive Plan as
follows:
LU-57: Mixed-use developments with both commercial and residential components are
encouraged in Light Commercial centers. These developments should include
primarily retail stores and offices designed to provide convenient shopping and other
services for nearby residents. Industrial and heavy commercial uses should be
excluded
Objective 9.3:
To encourage the appropriate use of areas adjacent to heavily traveled arterials while
minimizing land use and traffic conflicts by-
1. Managing the continued commercial development of existing commercial arterials in
a manner which minimizes traffic and land use conflicts.
2. Conserving residential qualities along heavily traveled arterials which are not yet
commercialized, by restricting commercial development to types which provide an
appropriate buffer
3. Protecting existing, viable residential areas along lesser-traveled arterials, from
commercial development.
4 Concentrate population and employment growth within the eight key economic
development strategy areas within the City identified as follows:
Auburn Way North Corridor
Auburn Way South Corridor

Auburn Environmental Park and Green Zone
15`h Street SW/C Street SW/West Valley Highway/Supermall
A Street SE Corridor
SE 312'" Street/124'h Avenue SE Corridor
M Street SE between Auburn Way North and Auburn Way South.
LU-58: The City has identified those existing commercial arterials that are appropriate
for continued commercial development and employment growth as well as a
concentration of population growth. These areas are identified as the eight economic
development strategy areas as identified under Objective 9.3 Sub-area plans for
these strategy areas should be developed.
ED-10: The City should develop a formal economic development strategy as an
element of the Comprehensive Plan to specifically identify the types of businesses most
consistent with community aspirations and lay out a program to attract those
businesses.
a. The City should work cooperatively with other governmental agencies in its
economic development efforts, including the Muckleshoot Tribe, King County,
Pierce County, the Port and the State.
b. The City should implement its economic development strategy through a
partnership with the private sector.
c. Identified in the 2005 Economic Development Strategies documents are six
strategy areas along with two additional strategy areas. These economic
development strategy areas are targeted for population and employment growth
to meet the City's 20-year (2031) growth target. Sub-area plans should be
developed for these strategy areas. The economic development strategy areas
are as follows:
Auburn Way North Corridor
Auburn Way South Corridor
Urban Center
Auburn Environmental Park and Green Zone
15'h Street SW/C Street SW/West Valley Highway/Supermall
A Street SE Corridor
SE 312'h Street/124`h Avenue SE Corridor
M Street SE between Auburn Way North and Auburn South
ED-15: Implement the recommendations of the City's 2005 Economic Development
Strategies brochure including the addition of the SE 312`h Street/124'h Avenue SE
corridor and M Street SE between Auburn Way North and Auburn Way South. The
City's 20-year housing and employment growth shall be concentrated to these
economic development strategy areas.
Problems related to Existing Uses— Lea Hill Area:
Area: Area annexed on January 1, 2008.
Zoning Code Text Amendment ZOA13-0005
Staff Report to the Planning Commission
August 13, 2013
Page 4
DI.E Page 237 of 293
Problem: The City has been concerned for years that the rapid growth taking place
within the Lea Hill PAA will overwhelm city streets. Through annexation the City can
better manage the amount and type of growth in this area and help ensure that
appropriate infrastructure to support development is provided concurrent with that
development.
The Auburn City Council envisions retaining the predominantly single-family character of
the Lea Hill area rather than allow the trend of rapidly developing multi-family projects to
continue. The City's codes will help ensure that the neighborhood character, traffic and
environmentally sensitive features are protected and/or managed.
Staff Analysis:
The proposed code amendments recognize the market sensitivity surrounding mixed-
use development while maintaining the City's goal of having the SE 312th/124s°corridor,
Auburn Way South, A Street SE Corridor, and Urban Center Extended districts be
economic development strategy areas that supports both residential and commercial
development. Auburn has identified eight economic development strategy areas
throughout the City with the goal of concentrating population and employment growth
within these strategy areas and C-1, Light Commercial zoning currently exists in four of
the strategy areas. Over the next twenty years, Auburn will need to plan for
approximately 9,600 new housing units and 19,000 jobs (starting year is 2006). The
proposed code amendments allow for multifamily development within the C-1, Light
Commercial zone while requiring some commercial be incorporated into a project
meeting the goal of accommodating the City's future housing and job growth.
To address the C-1, Light Commercial zone, specifically on Lea Hill, in 2008, when the
remainder of Lea Hill was annexed, the City added a policy statement limiting multi-
family development as the area had experienced a trend of multi-family development. In
order to balance slowing down the rapid multi-family development but still plan for
housing and job growth targets, the City implemented a mixed-use requirement if multi-
family is to be developed within the C-1, Light Commercial zone. The proposed
amendments today, recognize the market sensitivity of mixed-use projects while still
maintaining the City's goal of limiting multi-family development to the SE 312'hII24th
Avenue area and having commercial development be part of a project.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION/DECISION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council approval
of the proposed code amendment as presented.

9. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of
other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes,
explain.
None.
10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if
known.
The City of Auburn Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the proposed
code amendments addressed in this environmental checklist and will forward a
recommendation to the Auburn City Council. The City Council may or may not hold a
public hearing prior to taking action adopting, adopting in part, or not adopting the
amendments.
Although not an approval or permit, the proposed zoning text amendments are also
subject to the 60-day State Agency review process pursuant to RCW 36.70A.106. The
City will be requesting expedited review.
11. Give a brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses
and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this
checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You need not
repeat those answers on this page.
The City put into place regulations that requires a certain amount of commercial
development when developing a multifamily project. The current regulations have not
responded well to the current market and the City is interested in making the regulations
more flexible by allowing alternatives to the traditional mixed-use development.
12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand
the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any,
and section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a
range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal
description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available.
While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required
to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related
to this checklist.
The proposed code amendment would be applicable to properties zoned C-1, Light
Commercial.
B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS:
1. Earth:
A. General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes,
mountainous, other.
The City of Auburn is characterized by a relatively flat valley floor bordered by steep hillsides
that plateau.
Page 2 of 16
DI.E Page 248 of 293
Environmental Checklist (continued)TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
B. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The slope of the valley walls in the city varies, but some slopes associated with the
valley walls reach 100%. Most sites on the valley floor have limited slopes.
C. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel,
peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and
note any prime farmland.
The valley floor is made up primarily of soils of the Oridia, Renton, Snohomish and Briscott
series. These soils are fairly poorly drained and formed in the alluvium (river sediments)
associated with the White and Green rivers. These are considered good agricultural soils,
though in many areas, are not well-drained. There is no designated prime farmland within
the City of Auburn.
The soils in the uplands are predominantly of the Alderwood series. These soils drain
moderately well and are typically located on slopes ranging from 0-70%.
D. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate
vicinity? If so, describe.
Many factors affect slope stability including soil type, parent material, slope and
drainage. These factors can be further affected by human intervention such as slope
alteration, and vegetation removal. The city has identified categories of geologic hazard
areas and inventoried these areas. Maps of the erosion and landslide hazard areas are
provided as Maps 9.6 and 9 7, respectively in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
E. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading
proposed. Indicate source of fill.
Not applicable. The proposed amendments are non-project actions, so no site
alteration, construction, or earthwork is proposed.
F. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally
describe.
Not applicable. Non-project action.
G. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after
project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
Not applicable. The action does not involve site specific development proposals
H. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth.
This is a non-project action so no site specific erosion control is proposed. However, the
existing comprehensive plan includes numerous policies to reduce or control erosion
through the use of best management practices, landscaping requirements, limitations on
alteration of steep slopes and other critical areas protections. Impacts to earth will be
identified and, if necessary, mitigated during the development review process as specific
development proposals are made that might be associated with these plan amendments.
Page 3 of 16
DI.E Page 249 of 293
Environmental Checklist (continued)TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
The city also has design and construction standards that address erosion control
measures.
2. Air:
A. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust,
automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project
is completed? If any,generally describe and give approximate quantities if know.
Not applicable. Proposal is a non-project action.
B. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odors that may affect your

D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS
Do not use this sheet for project actions.)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction
with the list of the elements of the environment
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent of the proposal, or the types of
activities likely to result from the proposal that would affect the item at a greater intensity
or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in
general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air;
production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of
noise?
The proposed code amendments to the C-1, Light Commercial zone, should have a minimal
change in discharging to water, emissions to air, production, storage, or release of toxic or
hazardous substances or the production of noise. While the proposed code amendment
could apply to undeveloped property, the City's stormwater design manual addresses
stormwater discharges and the City has other regulations addressing emissions to air and
hazardous substances.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
The City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan contains provisions to reduce increases or
emissions caused by new development. Emphasis in the Comprehensive Plan on reducing
the reliance on the automobile for transportation should reduce the amount of emissions to
the air Policies in the Environment Chapter also provide guidance in the review of
development proposals to encourage native vegetation. This should support wildlife habitat
areas, particularly near streams, as the policies assist the City in addressing adverse
impacts to water quality and wildlife habitat from runoff since native plantings may require
less pesticide use.
An environmental review of all non-exempt (from SEPA) development will be conducted to
evaluate and mitigate impacts related to discharges, emissions, and the release of toxic
substances. Evaluation of the site specific proposals will be based on the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan and appropriate mitigation will take place on a case by case basis.
City development standards including but not limited to the critical areas ordinance,
shoreline master program regulations, and the Design and Construction Manuals, also
provide additional protection for these types of impacts.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The proposal is not likely affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life. However, as noted
below, the City has development standards to provide protection for these types of impacts.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants,animals,fish, or marine life are:
Generally, the adopted Auburn Comprehensive Plan and critical areas ordinance seek to
protect and conserve plants, animals, fish, and marine life. An environmental review under
SEPA of all non-exempt development is conducted to measure impacts. Evaluation based
Page 14 of 16
DI.E Page 260 of 293
Environmental Checklist (continued)TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
on the policies of the Auburn Comprehensive Plan and appropriate mitigation will take place
on a case-by-case basis.
Policies within the Environment Chapter also provide guidance in the review of development
proposals to encourage native vegetation be used and/or retained. This should support
wildlife habitat areas, particularly near streams as the policies assist the city in addressing
adverse runoff impacts to water quality and wildlife habitat since native plantings may
require less pesticide use.
City development standards including but not limited to the critical areas ordinance and the
shoreline master program regulations also provide additional protection for these types of
impacts.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
Future development will use natural gas and electricity and could result in increased
automobile uses. However, there does not appear to be any significant adverse increases
in the use of energy of natural resources resulting from the amendments being proposed to
the existing comprehensive plan over what might occur under existing plan designations.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
None specifically, as this is a non-project action. However, in addition to the provisions of
the Auburn Energy Management Plan (adopted in 1986), which encourages energy
conservation in public buildings, street lighting, and recycling, the comprehensive plan
places an emphasis on providing for alternative methods of travel to the automobile such as
transit, walking, and biking. An environmental review under SEPA of all significant
development will be conducted to measure the project impacts.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or
areas designated (or eligible or under study)for governmental protection; such as
parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat,
historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
Taken as a whole, there should not be any change in impacts from existing regulations on
environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated for government protection. Regulations are
in place to protect environmentally sensitive areas regardless of the use of the land or these
proposed code amendments.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
The comprehensive plan and, in particular, the critical areas ordinance, seek to protect
environmentally sensitive areas (wetlands, streams, geologically hazard areas, Floodplain,wildlife
habitat, and aquifer recharge areas) and to reduce the impacts of development on them. The
Auburn Comprehensive Plan provides for the implementation of innovative land management
techniques to protect these resources. An environmental review under SEPA for all non-exempt
development will be conducted to evaluate impacts.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether
it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
Page 15 of 16
DI.E Page 261 of 293
Environmental Checklist (continued)TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
Amendments can only be approved if it can be assured that future development is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and its policies and related regulations. Those
proposals that are not consistent with the comprehensive plan policies or other existing
plans will not be approved.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
The comprehensive plan, critical areas ordinance, and other development regulations, such
as the zoning ordinance and shoreline master program, seek to protect these land and
shoreline resources and to reduce the effects of development on them. An environmental
review under SEPA of all development that is non-exempt will also be conducted to evaluate
a proposal's land use and environmental impacts.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities?
The proposed amendment could lead towards development that may increase demands on
public services, the transportation network, and utilities. The City has adopted a traffic
impact fee structure to address impacts to the transportation network.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
The Auburn Comprehensive Plan presently incorporates the 2013-2018 Capital Facilities
Plan updated, which seeks to maintain a sufficient level of service for public services as
development occurs.
Also, the city actively engages in planning for public facilities. The Comprehensive Water
Plan and Comprehensive Sewer Plan updates were adopted by the city in 2009 The
Comprehensive Drainage Plan update was also adopted in 2009 The Comprehensive
Transportation Plan was adopted in 2005 with updates during the 2006 and 2009
Comprehensive Plan amendment cycles. These plans help ensure that utility impacts are
adequately monitored and evaluated on a project level and city-wide basis.
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal
laws or requirements for the protection of the environment.
The proposal does not appear to present any conflict with local, state, or federal laws or
requirements.

Subject: Lea Hill(C-1)
Deputy Mayor Nancy Backus, Interim Planning Director Jeff Tate, Councilman
John Holman, and Councilwoman Largo Wales:
As the property owners of the 14+ acres zoned C-1 in the Lea Hill location
bordering The Seasons apartments/commerciaUretail space, we appreciate your
efforts on our behalf to address the City Code which stipulates all development
in this zoning/location must contain 50% allocated for ground
floor commercial/retail space for the mixed-use criteria. As most of you know,
this 50% requirement was and is responsible for the dissolving of two contracts
for the sales of our properties to a developer. It wasn't feasible when it first was
introduced, and it's currently not feasible fiscally, economically, and location-
wise.
Last evening (July 22, 2013), Deputy Mayor Backus asked us if we had anything
new to present besides what has been stated on record via personal visits to Mr.
Tate and emails to both Nancy and Jeff. Mr. Rudy Terry felt compelled to
emphasize we're at the mercy of all of you. May I take this time to give you a not-
so-hypothetical situation . . .
Living in the rural beauty of unincorporated Lea Hill, many of us have spent 20
to 40 years up here on the hill, most of our adult lives. Thinking this might just
be where we spend the rest of our lives, we realized as neighbors sold their
properties due to aging or deaths/inheritances, this would no longer be a rural
area. Those of us with large animals became concerned about their well-being
with more residential occupants and their curiosities. After annexation, we faced
the realities of being "in the city" and watched as multiple houses continued (and
continue) to be erected adjacent to our properties. When we collectively decided
1
DI.E Page 265 of 293
to sell to a developer who offered us prices we couldn't refuse, we signed
contracts and began to plan for our futures.
Some of our futures are on the shorter side of life. We've probably got one more
move in us. Others of us yearn for the more rural lifestyles to accomodate
large animals and pets. Most of us (not all) have spent a great deal of money on
our homes, properties, and contributed to the economy in Auburn for
many years. For some of us, our retirement depends on the sale of our property.
To be stopped and/or hindered from selling our properties by a City Code seems
unreasonable, but it has happened twice to us and leaves us with few options, if
any.
Last night the random percentage of 25% allotment for commerciat/retail space
was suggested to illustrate there needed to be a new minimum percentage written
into the code. As you no doubt realize, this number (25%) is excessive. Since The
Seasons' percentage is at 18% and has two units vacant since its inception with
the food market being subsidized to stay in business, how can it be reasonable to
assume a higher or even a same percentage is realistic? With more vacancies at
the small retail location adjacent to the 7/11 on 124th and 312th it's clear that
Lea Hill has a surplus of empty retail1commercial space.
The more retail/commercial (higher percentage) space required, the less likely it
is that we will ever be able to sell our properties. What value is there for
a developer to waste money on empty building space(s)? We're asking for what
Nancy called "thinking outside the box". We're asking for a more reasonable
percentage (based on the allotted empty spaces and subsidized space on Lea Hill)
with flexible language to invite a developer to work with the city to accommodate
both of their needs. Make that percentage too high and no developer will invest
in a losing situation. If the code is too restrictive, the value of buildable land
diminishes along with the offers/prices for our properties.
If any of you were offered a price for your dwellings which you valued and could
not refuse, after deciding for your needs you needed to relocate, would you
appreciate the city making such unreasonable restrictions cementing
the impossibility for you to sell to the buyer of your choice? This has happened to
us more than once. We are landlocked. We are stuck. And it is because of the
city's regulations for development.
We realize this is a reiteration of all that's been presented to you, but we can't
emphasize it enough. Time is truly running out for us. Money for development is
tenuous at best. How long it will be available no one can say. We have what we
consider a dire need, and without your assistance, understanding, and action we
will remain stuck. The timeline presented at the meeting is clearly on a fast-track
which we deeply appreciate. However, without the helpful language and much
less restrictive requirements, we will be left with no options.

Thank you for all that you've done so far, for hearing and listening, for taking
the time out of your multi-level work issues to include our needs in your
agendas. If we sound "desperate", it's because we are. Thank you.
I would appreciate if you could let me know you've received this email. Thank
you.)
Respectfully,
Nicole Peirino-Super

Administrative Recommendation:
Public Works Committee recommend that City Council adopt Resolution No. 4986.
Background Summary:
The City’s water supply plan is designed to provide adequate water to support expected
population growth to the point when the City completely occupy’s its boundary. This
point is know as full build-out and is expected to occur in approximately 2054. The water
supply plan strategy to get the City to full build-out includes a combination of improving
city owned water sources and purchasing wholesale water from other purveyors to meet
the projected demands.
The Cascade Water Alliance (Cascade) has water for sale and is making it available to
the City at discounted rate utilizing the City’s existing connections with Tacoma Water
(Tacoma). Cascade has two types of water supply available with the first being a
permanent block of water known as the 4 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) of which the
City would buy 2.5 million gallons per day (MGD).
The second type is a temporary block of water known as the 6 MGD reserve supply of
which Auburn would buy 2.736 MGD. The temporary 6 MGD reserve supply will need to
be converted to permanent water at some point in the future. Converting temporary
water to permanent water requires paying the difference between Cascade’s price and
Tacoma’s permanent water system development costs. These costs are detailed in the
reserve supply agreement.
There are two purchase agreements accompanying the attached Resolution: Exhibit A
permanent water supply agreement; Exhibit B reserve supply agreement.

Re: Cascade Water SDC Purchase Agreement
Wholesale Water Purchase Process Review
The Cascade Water Alliance (Cascade) purchased (i.e. paid the system development charges
(SDC)) both permanent and temporary blocks of water from Tacoma Water (Tacoma). Cascade
no longer needs this water and is willing to sell this water in the form of SDC credits. Those
who purchase the credit can redeem them with Tacoma by entering into a wholesale water
purchase agreement with Tacoma. Tacoma will honor the credits for the amount of water on
the face of the credit. Cascade is offering to sell SDC credits to the City of Auburn for a
discounted price.
Cascade has two kinds of SDC credits available. The first is a credit for a permanent block of
water and is known as the 4 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) credit of which Auburn is
considering purchasing 2.5 MGD. The second type is for a temporary block of water known as
the 6 MGD credit of which Auburn is considering to purchase 2.736 MGD. The important thing
to note about the 6 MGD credit is that it will need to be converted to permanent water at some
point in the future. Converting temporary water to permanent water requires paying the
difference between the face value of the SDC credit and Tacoma’s permanent water SDC costs.
Attached are purchase agreements for the two kinds of SDC credits.
Cascade SDC Purchase Costs and Payment Structure
The cost for the 2.5 MGD (permanent supply) credit is $7,893,300.00 to be paid over 13 years
with an interest rate of 3.2%. Payments begin in 2017.
The cost for the 2.736 MGD (temporary supply) credit is $1,427,864.00 to paid over 13 years
with an interest rate of 3.2%. Payments begin in 2017.
The detailed payment schedules are included in the attached agreements.
Fiscal Impact to Utility
· For the permanent water purchase, Cascade has agreed to defer the City’s first payment
until 2017. The payment schedule would not impact current rates and planned rate
increases through 2016.
· For the temporary water purchase, Cascade has also agreed to defer the City’s first
payment until 2017. The combined payment schedules for both the combined
permanent and temporary supply would not impact current rates and planned rate
increases through 2016.

b) Auburn confirms purchase of a System Development Charge Credit in a specific
quantity less than 2.763 MGD annual supply capacity (peak supply capacity to be
determined by Cascade).
c) Auburn confirms that it will not purchase an SDC Credit as to the 6 MGD
Wholesale Water Supply, in which event this Agreement shall terminate and, except for
Section 9, be of no further force or effect.
If Auburn fails to give such notice to Cascade by June 30, 2017, or by notice selects a
quantity of zero (0.000 MGD), then no payment shall be due and this Agreement will terminate.
.
In order to facilitate communications, the Parties agree to meet and confer during the
month of March 2017, or before, about status of water supply planning and this Agreement.
6. Notice of Confirmation of System Development Charge Credit.
Within 30 days after Auburn gives its notice to Cascade under Section 5 of this
Agreement, Cascade will send to the Tacoma Water Superintendent a Notice of Confirmation of
System Development Charge Credit regarding the 6 MGD Wholesale Water Supply. Cascade
will provide a copy of the Notice to Auburn when it is sent to Tacoma.
7. Terms and Conditions of 6 MGD System Development Charge Credit.
Auburn acknowledges that, as stated in the Amended and Restated Agreement, Cascade
has paid to Tacoma a capacity reservation fee (i.e., $1,570,074.00 per MGD) for the 6 MGD
Wholesale Water Supply that Tacoma will recognize as an System Development Charge Credit
if all requirements of the Amended and Restated Agreement and the Joint Letter are met.
However, the capacity reservation fee paid to Tacoma by Cascade covers only a portion of the
System Development Charge for the 6 MGD Wholesale Water Supply. Accordingly, Auburn
specifically acknowledges and agrees that it will pay Tacoma the remaining balance of any
System Development Charges owing for Auburn’s desired quantity, net of the SDC Credit
obtained from Cascade. Auburn specifically acknowledges and agrees that Tacoma’s SDC could
increase and that Auburn will bear any increase in Tacoma’s SDCs that may take effect before
Auburn and Tacoma enter a wholesale water supply agreement.
Auburn understands that additional SDC payments to Tacoma will be required to convert
the 6 MGD Wholesale Water Supply to permanent supply, in the event Auburn elects to do so
pursuant to a future Auburn-Tacoma agreement. As an example calculation of Auburn’s
combined costs based on Tacoma’s current SDC, the Parties have included an illustrative
example in Exhibit C attached hereto. Exhibit C is not binding on any Party or Tacoma, and
Exhibit C contains assumptions about Tacoma’s SDC and interest rates in the future that may or
may not turn out to be accurate. Accordingly, Cascade makes no representations or warranties
about the accuracy of Exhibit C.

8. Wholesale Water Supply Purchase Negotiations with Tacoma.
In order to use the System Development Charge Credit and secure a wholesale water
supply from Tacoma, Auburn acknowledges that it must make an offer, complete negotiations,
and enter a wholesale water supply agreement with Tacoma consistent with the Joint Letter and
Confirmation Notice set forth in Exhibit A and with the Amended and Restated Agreement.
Auburn acknowledges and agrees that Cascade makes no representations or warranties as to the
outcome of such negotiations, the Tacoma wholesale water supply that Auburn may (or may not)
be able to purchase, or otherwise.
9. Effect on Four Cities Agreement.
The Parties agree that this Agreement constitutes full performance by Cascade of its
obligations under Section 3(a) of the Four Cities Agreement. Accordingly, Section 3(a) of the
Four Cities Agreement shall be of no further force or effect as between Cascade and Auburn.
Other provisions of the Four Cities Agreement are unaffected by this Agreement and remain
effective according to their terms. This section 9 shall survive termination of the Agreement in
the event that Auburn elects not to purchase an SDC Credit.
