WHEREAS, Application No. REZ02-0002 dated December 20, 2002 has been submitted to the City of Auburn, Washington, by Alonzo P. Cole, Jr. requesting the rezoning of the parcel of land at 301 West Main C-3 (HEAVY COMMERCIAL) to C-2 (CENTRAL BUSINESS) and hereinafter described below and as identified ori Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated in this Ordinance by this reference; and WHEREAS, said request above referred to the Heating Examiner for study and public hearing thereon; and WHEREAS, the Heating Examiner, based upon staff review, held a public hearing to consider the request in the Council Chambers of Auburn City Hall on February 19, 2003, at the conclusion of which the Heating Examiner recommended the approval of the rezoning of said property; and WHEREAS, the City Council, on March 17, 2003, considered said request and affirmed the Hearing Examiner's recommendation for rezone based upon the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Decision, to-wit: Ordinance 5750 March 19, 2002 Page 1 o FINDINGS OF FACT Alonzo P. Cole, Jr., the owner of the property located at 301 West Main Street (northwest comer of West Main Street and C Street NW) has requested that said property be rezoned from the existing zone of C3, Heavy Commercial to C2, Central Business. Both zones are commercial zones, with the primary differences between the two being supplemental development standards (setbacks, building orientation). The subject property of approximately 16,500 square feet is currently fully developed and in use as an office supply/furniture store, which is a permitted use in both C2 and C3 Districts. There is no current proposal for redevelopment of the property, or expansion of the existing structure. However, the structure currently is more in conformance with C2 development standards than C3. The property has the potential for re-use and/or redevelopment, and it is within the Downtown Planning Area, specifically the "Main Street" planning area. Under C3 zoning, street-side setbacks would be required that would be in conflict with the goals of the Downtown Plan for pedestrian-oriented commercial uses, especially in the vicinity of the Aubum Transit Center. Surrounding zoning for the site is C3. However, the Downtown Plan designates the area for eventual transition to C2 zoning, the site is in close proximity to C2- zoned properties, and the uses are compatible. The undersigned Hearing Examiner has reviewed the evidence and viewed the site. The contents of case file REZ02-0002 and the environmental file SEP02-0036 of this project are hereby incorporated by reference and made part of the record. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Based upon the staff recommendation, the Hearing Examiner has concluded that the rezone may be approved based upon the following: 1. The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Map designations, zoning and existing uses in the area. Ordinance 5750 March 19, 2002 Page 2 DECISION For each of the above reasons, the recommendation of the Heating Examiner to the Auburn City Council on this rezone application is approval. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Purpose. The above-cited Heating Examiner's Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision, are herewith incorporated in this Ordinance. Section 2.
