The proposed building would be approximately 20,000 sq. ft. in size and is located at what is known as the Auburn Academy, 2800 Academy Drive S.E. The existing zoning is that of I, Institutional, and the Comprehensive Plan designates the subject site for public or quasi public uses. The subject site is part of a 255-acre site which contains a number of uses. These uses include a school, a church, manufacturing uses, maintenance facilities, some residential uses, agricultural uses, and an aircraft landing field. The entire site is owned by the Seventh Day Adventists. The city has adopted a special plan for the Academy Area which was approved in November, 1991. At the time of the adoption of the plan, the site was zoned I, Institutional. The purpose of the Institutional zone is to provide educational, governmental, theological, recreational, cultural, public, and quasi public uses. This zone may permit light manufacturing uses if the manufacturing use is secondary to a permitted use and subject to the requirements of a Conditional Use Permit.

The applicant proposes to replace the building which was previously used for manufacturing purposes which was destroyed by fire in 1989. As a result of 'the fact that manufacturing uses previously existing in this approximate location, the City of Auburn Public Works Department determined that existing streets and utilities were adequate to serve the proposal. Future studies will need to be done to determine the adequacy of utilities and streets for future developments. The staff report, with its recommendation of conditional approval, is incorporated herein by reference as though set forth in full. CONCLUSIONS OF LAN me The Zoning Ordinance sets forth a series of criteria which must be established before a Conditional Use Permit may be granted. The first criteria is that the use will ihave no more adverse effect on the health, safety or comfort of persons living or working in the area than would any use generally permitted in the district. The proposed use is compatible with the other existing manufacturing uses and is located within the Academy campus. Accordingly, adjoining non-Academy properties will not be impacted. The proposal is in accordance with the goals, policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and the special plan which was adopted for the Academy Area 4. The proposal complies with or is capable of complying with all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. 5. The proposal can be constructed and maintained so as to be harmonious and appropriate in design, character, and appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity.
