hearing, reconsidered the
the Hearing Examiner's
following Findings
FINDINGS OF FACT
The applicant, Puget Western, Inc., requests a rezone.
Currently, the subject property, which is approximately
8.8 acres in size, or slightly larger, but definitely
under 10 acres, is located on the south side of Oravetz
Road approximately 1,600 feet west of "R" Street.
2 o
The subject property currently has a zoning designation
of "Unclassified". The applicant is requesting that it
be rezoned to R-4, Multi-Family zoning, in accordance
with the Special Area Plan for the Lakeland Hills
community.
Ordinance No. 5074
February 25, 1998

4 o
5 o
6 o
7 o
The subject parcel is part of the Lakeland Hills
community and the community plan clearly and
specifically identifies this subject parcel to be
appropriate for multi-family zoning.
The only purpose of the current action is to rezone the
property. No subsequent development plan has been
proposed as part of the rezone process. A specific
development plan is not required to simply rezone the
property. However, future development may be
constrained due to a number of issues including, but
not limited to, steep slopes, the heavily forested
nature of the property, and the location such that
providing access may prove problematic.
At the time of the public hearing, a number of
witnesses spoke regarding their concern about multi-
family development. Specifically, neighbors expressed
concern regarding traffic issues, wildlife issues, and
the steep slopes.
In accordance with the Washington State Environmental
Policy Act, an environmental review was done on the
rezone only. This applicant is considered to be a non-
project action and accordingly environmental review was
done on the rezone only. As previously indicated, when
a specific development is proposed, additional
environmental review will need to be performed which
completely analyzes all issues. The environmental
review will include, at a minimum, substantial traffic
analysis, a geotechnical analysis, a tree inventory and
mitigation plan, and careful review of any other issues
which may be involved.
The contents of the case file, REZ0002-97, and the
environmental file, SEP0032-97, are incorporated herein
by reference.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
o
The rezone may be approved.
The proposed rezone is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan map designation, which is contained
within the Lakeland Hills Special Plan Area.
The rezone, in and of itself, will not allow a
subsequent use of the property without additional
environmental review.
For each of the above referenced reasons, the
recommendation of the Hearing Examiner to the Auburn City
Council on this rezone from Unclassified to R-4 (Multi-
Family) is approved.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL 0F THE CITY OF AUBURN,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

that previously denied the above rezone is hereby repealed
