The applicant is proposing construction of six
duplexes. More than one duplex per lot is allowed
in the R-3 (Duplex) zone provided that a conditional
use permit is granted.
A minimum of 3600 square feet of lot area per each
duplex unit it required. This proposal requires
43,200 square feet of lot area and the lot is over
56,000 square feet in size and accordingly there is
ample space provided for the proposal.
Currently, the site consists of three lots of a
previously approved short plat. A lot line
adjustment or revised short plat will be required to
remove the lot lines which are in conflict with the
Zoning Ordinance.
The applicant has amended the initial site plan to
provide for access to the site via a 30 foot wide
access easement from 14th Street NE There is a 37.5
foot radius turnaround for emergency vehicles
provided.
There are single family homes abutting this site to
the west and north. Conditions should be
implemented to minimize the impact upon adjacent
single family residential uses.
The staff report with its recommendation of
conditional approval, is incorporated herein by
reference as though set forth in full.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The Zoning Ordinance at Section 18.64.040 sets forth
a series of criteria which must be established prior
to the time that the undersigned has the authority
to grant a conditional use permit.
The first of these criteria relates to the use as
proposed having no more of an 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 proposal is
compatible with the existing elementary school to
the east and the duplexes to the south. As proposed

and as oriented on the site plan, the duplexes
minimize impacts upon the single family homes and
landscaping will also be required.
The proposal is in accord with the goals, policies,
and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan since the
Comprehensive Plan designates a site for moderate
density residential uses.
The proposal will comply with all requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance provided that the existing lot
lines are removed.
The proposal will be compatible with adjoining
school and residential uses and will be appropriate
in design, character, and appearance with the
existing or intended character of the vicinity. The
proposal is provided access from 14th Street NE
which is a designated arterial capable of providing
necessary services. Therefore, it is concluded that
the proposal will not adversely affect the public
infrastructure.
For each of the above referenced reasons, the
recommendation of the Hearing Examiner to the Auburn City
Council on this Conditional Use Permit to allow construction
of six duplexes is approved and affirmed.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
