AGENDA
DECEMBER 7;2004 --- 7:00 P.M.
AUBURN CITY HALL - CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS
25 WEST MAIN STREET
PUBLIC HEARING
Case No. CPA04-0003 - NE Auburn/Robertson Properties Special Area Plan - Adopt a new special
area plan, a subarea plan, that establishes policies and land use guidance for this approximately 120-acre
portion of the City. This document presents a framework of objectives and policies intended as solutions
to the limitations that have previously discouraged development and redevelopment within NE Auburn and
proposes actions that will both expedite development and protect against environmental impacts. . The
City's Comprehensive Plan recognizes the following limitations for this portion of the City: land use,
transportation, storm water management, flooding and development of a wetland mitigation site by the
Port of Seattle. It would be adopted as an element of the Comprehensive Plan.
Case No. CPA04-0002 - Comprehensive Plan Amendments
. Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment - This document consists of proposed changes to
Chapter 14, Comprehensive Plan Map, to recognize that the "Heavy Commercial" comprehensive
plan designation can bé implemented by a new zoning district referred to as C4. The changes
would also modify and update the discussion of the Special Plan Areas later in the chapter
specifically related to the NE Auburn Special Plan Area.
. Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment - Change the City's comprehensive land use plan, Map
14.1, would be changed to fill in the "blank" which is currently shown for the Valley 6 Drive-In site
and surrounding areas to change the mapped designations within this specific portion of the City.
Case No. ZOA04-0004 - Zonina Code Amendments
· Zoning Code Text Amendment - Adopt a new zoning chapter referred to as C4, that allows a
mixture of commercial and multiple family residential uses. This new district would be similar to
the C3 district but makes some important distinctions of allowing residential uses outright in
addition to commercial uses. It also would require that fuel service stations only be allowed
secondary to a permitted use and it specifically authorizes "discount buying club" uses. It would
also change the other sections of the zoning code, Chapter 18, such as landscaping, parking,
signage, etc. to recognize the new zoning district.
· Zoning Code Map Amendment - Change the City's zoning map to reflect the new C4
designation within a majority of the Auburn Gateway Project Area. For the most part if changes
parcels currently zoned UNCL to C4. It also changes a few other parcels from C3 and R4 to C4.
