(located one block north of West Main Street, from "F" Street NW to "H" Street NW). Associate Planner Sean Martin presented the staff report on the 2000 Comprehensive Zoning Map Amendments. The City initiated area-wide zoning changes at ten locations in the city. The goal of the amendments is to align the existing zoning designation to the existing Comprehensive Plan designation. Mr. Martin reviewed each of the ten locations proposed for zoning changes using an overhead projector to display the ten exhibits. Zoning Change Area B1 (Exhibit B1) represents the Lea Hill reservoir property. Staff proposes rezoning the parcel from R1, Single Family Residential, which is default zoning after ' annexation, to LHP1, Lea Hill Public Use. Zoning Change Area B2 (Exhibit B2) represents the Olson Canyon Park and the Auburn Golf Course. Staff proposes a rezone of the Olson Canyon Park from R1, Single Family Residential, and the golf course from P1 to LPH1, Lea Hill Public Use. Page 3 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August 7, 2000 Zoning Change Area B3 (Exhibit B3) represents a thirty-one acre site.located north of the 3200 block of "1" Street NE and owned by the City's storm utility. Staff recommends a rezone from the existing R-2, Single Family Residential, to P1, Public Use. Zoning Change Area B4 (Exhibit B4) represents Lakeland Hills Park, a five-acre park located in the Lakeland area. The park was dedicated to the City in 1993 and has been used and maintained as a City park facility since that time. Staff recommends rezoning the park from R-2 to P1, Public Use. Zoning Change Area B5 (Exhibit B5) represents the remnants of an unclassi~ed zoning district established when the Lakeland area was annexed in 1968. The unclassified area remained pending the final alignment of Lakeland Hills Way. Staff proposes to rezone the properties west of Lakeland Hills Way to R4, which is consistent with adjacent properties, and to rezone properties east of Lakeland Hills Way to R2, which is consistent with adjacent properties. Zoning Change Area B6 (Exhibit B6) represents an 81-acre site located east of developed area in Lakeland Hills area. Staff proposes rezoning the site from Unclassified to R1, Single Family Residential. Mr. Martin explained that the Unclassified zone assumes the same development standards as the R1 district, and the change in zoning does not increase the site's development potential or result in greater density. Zoning Change Area B7 (Exhibit B7) represents a 21-acre site contiguous to and under the ownership of the Auburn Municipal Airport. In 1997, the Comprehensive Plan designation was changed from Light Industrial to Public/Quasi Public.Staff proposes to amend the zoning from M1, Light Industrial, to Landing Field, in support of future airport operations. Zoning Change Area B8 (Exhibit B8) represents approximately forty-two acres in north central area of Page 4 City of Auburn Council Meetin.Q Minutes August 7, 2000 Auburn. The existing zoning designation for each one of the parcels is R1, Single Family Residential. Staff proposes a zoning change to Institutional for the Thomas Academy properties. Properties with frontage or approximate orientation to Auburn Way North are proposed for C3, Heavy Commercial. Properties remaining in the area are proposed for M1, Light Industrial. The proposed zoning changes are supported by the existing Comprehensive Plan designations. Zoning Change Area B9 (Exhibit B9) represents a developing commercial corridor along Auburn Way South approximately 9.3 acres in size. Staff proposes to amend the zoning from CN, Neighborhood Commercial, to C1, Light Commercial. The Light Commercial zoning district provides a broader spectrum of uses but still provides for a more neighborhood supported type use. Additionally, staff proposes zoning changes to effect alignment of the Light Commercial zoning district with the existing parcel lines. The Light Commercial district would be applied on parcels with frontage on Auburn Way South, resulting in a rezone from R4, Multiple Family Residential to C1, Light Commercial at a point north of the right-of-way and a rezone from CN, Neighborhood Commercial to R3, Duplex Residential at a point south of the right-of-way. Councilmember Wagner questioned whether staff considered retaining the CN zoning on the southerly portions of two parcels which are adjacent to residential districts. He also asked whether it is legal for one lot to have more than one zoning district. Assistant Planning Director Rued responded that it is possible for one lot to have more than one zoning district designation. Mr. Rued explained that a few years ago, the City Council changed the Comprehensive Plan designation for the parcels in question from CN, Neighborhood Commercial, to C1, Light Commercial. The reason the Commercial zoning extends the full depth of the parcels is to reflect the existing heavy commercial uses that exist there now, Northwest Pump and Drilling. In response to a question from Councilmember Brothers, Associate Planner Martin explained that the CN and C1 zones permit small-scale retail, personal services, and Page 5 City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes August 7, 2000 professional offices. The primary difference between the two zones is through the conditional use permit process where the CN district has very limited uses and the C1 allows more intense commercial development. The CN zone has a greater setback to residential districts and to property lines while the C1 has more conservative setbacks for traditional commercial development. Zoning Change Area B10 (Exhibit B10) represents approximately 3.5 acres located north of West Main Street and bounded by the commercial corridor of West Main Street and industrial zoning to the north. Staff proposes to rezone the area from M2, Heavy Industrial, to R4, Multiple Family Residential in support of the Comprehensive Plan. The subject area consists of 18 lots; 14 of which are developed with single family homes. During the Planning Commission review, the Planning Commission recommended to maintain the existing M2, Heavy Industrial, designation on the four properties that have frontage on "H" Street and the vacant lot. In response to a question from Councilmember Wagner, City Attorney Reynolds responded that City Councils are allowed to down zone property. Councilmember Singer questioned the screening requirements between the proposed M2 and the R4 districts. Associate Planner Martin explained a development in the M2 zone would require a thirty foot rear yard setback with required landscaping and a thirty foot setback from street right-of-way. Councilmember Lewis referred to Exhibit B8 and questioned the number of single family homes in the areas currently designated RI which are proposed for rezone to M1. Associate Planner Martin stated that approximately 60% to 70% of the lots are developed single family homes. The single family homes would become a nonconforming use in the M1 zone. Through the City's nonconforming code, the residences could continue in perpetuity as long as they are maintained as single family homes. Councilmember Lewis questioned the history of the Comprehensive Plan Page 6 Citv of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August 7, 2000 designation. Mr. Martin explained that the Comprehensive Plan designation for the area had been set as light industrial. The annexation of the area assigns it a default zone of R1 unless a rezone is specifically sought at the time of annexation. Assistant Planning Director Rued added that the area has been planned for light industrial since 1986. Mr. Rued explained that during the annexation of the area, property owners were made aware that the area would be annexed with the default R1 zoning and that individual applications for rezone to M1 would be entertained to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Map. Mayor Booth opened the public hearing. Alan Keimi.q, Keimig & Associates, Architects, 216 "A" Street NW, Auburn, WA Mr. Keimig commented on Exhibit B10. Mr. Keimig stated he is looking at the feasibility of constructing an office building on lots fronting "H" Street NW at 12 and 22 ".H" Street NW. The proposed rezone to R4 for the area makes it nearly impossible to develop an office building because of setback requirements. With the current zoning, an office building would be possible and compatible with existing res. idences along "H" Street. He spoke in favor of retaining the M2 zoning designation to provide current property owners with a better economic resource than under the proposed R4 zoning designation. Associate Planner Martin commented that an office building could be constructed in an M2 zone with an administrative use permit. A conditional use permit would be required in order to construct an office building in the R4 zone. Assistant Planning Director Rued added that setbacks are less in the R4 zone. The M2 zone has a thirty foot front yard setback while the R4 has a twenty foot front yard setback. The M2 has a thirty foot rear yard setback'while the R4 requires a twenty-five foot rear setback. Marilyn Dollinger, 12 "G" Street NW, Auburn, WA Ms. Dollinger questioned the reasoning for proposing R4 Multi Family Residential zoning rather than single family zoning. Assistant Planning Director Rued explained that the City changed the Comprehensive Plan designation for the Page 7 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes Au.qust 7, 2000 area a few years ago from industrial to R4 Multi-family residential in order to preserve the single family homes and also provide an incentive for redevelopment of the area. Ms. Dollinger also complained about the number of trucks traveling on "G" Street NW. She advised there is no "No Truck" signage on "G" Street NW. She also stated that "G" Street NW is in poor condition. Public Works Director Engler advised there are no improvements scheduled for nonarterial streets in the area. Ms. Dollinger asked about the effect of zoning on property taxes. Finance Director Supler stated that property taxes are typically based on the value of the property and buildings. David Grambush, 102 "H" Street NW, Auburn, WA Mr. Grambush identified himself as a resident of the area for over twenty-two years. His home, located at 102 "H" Street NW, was constructed in 1906. He spoke in favor of residential zoning and preserving the old homes in the area of Exhibit B10. Mr. Grambush advised that the "No Trucks" signage on "H" and "F" Streets does not deter trucks from using the streets. Virginia Haugen, 2503 "R" Street SE, Auburn, WA Ms. Haugen commented that the proposed zoning change described in Exhibit B10 will increase property taxes for the residents. Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer seconded to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0. Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Lewis seconded to table consideration of the 2000 Comprehensive .Zoning Map Amendments until the next regular Council meeting and refer the item to the Planning and Community Development Committee for additional review. Councilmember Borden expressed concern with the proposed amendments contained in Exhibit B10. Page 8 City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes August 7, 2000 Councilmember Poe expressed concern with the proposed zoning map amendments described in Exhibits B9 and B10. He suggested that the Northwest Pump and Drilling lots extending between the R3 and R4 zoning districts should be zoned R4. Councilmember Poe spoke against multi family zoning for the area described in Exhibit B10. Councilmember Wagner concurred with Councilmember Poe's comments regarding Exhibit B9 and spoke in favor of respecting the single family homes that exist in the area of Exhibit B10. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0. B. Audience Participation This is the place on the agenda where the public is invited to speak to the City Council on any issue. Virginia Hau.cjen, 2503 "R" Street SE, Auburn, WA Ms. Haugen spoke in favor of tabling consideration of the 2000 Comprehensive Zoning Map amendments. She congratulated the Auburn Fire Department as the recipient of donated fire extinguishers. She presented petitions requesting the City of Auburn and the owners of the Longhorn Restaurant make an effort to put the Pastime Tavern building and Truitt building facade on the state and national historical registers. The petition states that both properties are of significant historical value to the City of Auburn and its residents and urges the City to preserve the written histories of the sites and marking their locations with permanent signage. Alan Keimig, Keimig & Associates, 204 "A" Street NW, Auburn, WA Mr. Keimig reminded the City Council to address the height regulations and the parking issues in the downtown area to ensure redevelopment of the "Pastime Tavern" building. Harley Giltvedt, 1110 21st Street SE, Auburn, WA Mr. Giltvedt spoke regarding the Sister City Program including its origin and the City of Auburn's Sister City affiliations. He advised that on September 11, 2000, approximately eighteen people from Auburn's Sister City of Kasuga-cho, Japan, will be visiting in the city of Auburn. He spoke regarding the need to appropriately recognize Sister City visitors. He spoke of his experiences and Page 9 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes Aunust 7, 2000 treatment while visiting the Sister City of Kasuga-cho and hoped that comparable recognition could be conveyed to the Japanese visitors. He requested the City contribute funds to the Sister City Program to ensure appropriate recognition to the City's visitors. Steve Le Penske, 1307 13th Street NE, Auburn, WA Mr. Le Penske described his visits to the City's Sister City of Kasuga-cho, Japan. He spoke regarding the differences in recognition of Japanese visitors to Auburn to the experiences of Auburn residents to the City of Kasuga-cho. Mayor Auburn stated that the City of Auburn hosts a coffee hour and gift exchange for each visit to the City of Auburn by residents of Kasuga-cho. Mr. Le Penske stated that private homes and private organizations provide a majority of the hosting and touring. He asked the Council to consider ways the City could lend support to the Sister City Program. Kathy Johnson, 12724 SE 254th Place, Kent, WA Ms. Johnson identified herself as an employee of Green River Community College in Auburn. She spoke regarding the Sister City Program and of her experiences on a Sister City visit to Kasuga- cho, Japan and as a host of visitors from Kasuga-cho. Ms. Johnson presented a draft agenda and itinerary for the Sister City visitors arriving on September 11. She also presented information on the cost of transportation and lunch for the visitors. Councilmember Bordon questioned the City's plans for hosting the Kasuga-cho visitors on September 11, 2000. Parks and Recreation Director Deal referred to Resolution No. 3216, appearing later on this evening's agenda, which establishes a Sister City affiliation policy and establishes a Sister City Advisory Committee. Mr. Deal stated that for the past thirty-two years, the Lions Club has done much of the coordination for the Sister City visits. The purpose of the Resolution is to establish a formal process and enhance Sister City relationships. Some City equipment and City staff will be made available for the Sister City visit on September 11. Mayor Booth stated that the City would be concerned with the transfer of the Sister City organization and structure to the City. The City is unable to supply a budget for the Sister City Program in addition to other responsibilities. Page 10 City of Auburn Council Meetinfl Minutes August 7, 2000 Councilmember Lewis expressed his appreciation for the efforts already made in preparation for the Sister City visit. Councilmember Borden commended those who have organized and sponsored Sister City visits. Councilmember Barber spoke in favor of a unified approach to the Sister City Program. Ron Bohlman, 2710 24th Street SE, Auburn, WA Mr. Bohlman stated he has been affiliated with the Sister City Program for the last twenty years. He requested more participation from City Councilmembers in the Sister City visits. Councilmember Brothers Councilmember Brothers advised that he received a complaint from a citizen regarding the gravel pit operation on "M" Street SE. The citizen complained that the batch plant was evidently operating at 3:00 AM. Planning and Community Development Director Paul Krauss explained that the "M" Street gravel pit operation is the Miles Sand and Gravel pit operation which has several issues which need to be addressed. It is not the same pit operation that was approved by Council on July 17, 2000. C. Correspondence No correspondence was received for City Council review. III. COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS A3.7.6 A.

MAYOR'S REPORT A. November Election - Impact Fees Ballot Issue Mayor Booth expressed concern with the impact fee ballot issues scheduled for the November 2000 election. He indicated that the ballot issues, even if approved by the electorate, or imposed by the Council could be held invalid because of Initiative 695 and other pending initiatives. He suggested removing the impact fee issues from the November ballot until the Supreme Court issues its decision on Initiative 695 and pending the outcome of Initiative 722. Councilmember Wagner commented that if the Supreme Court issues a positive decision for the cities within the next month, the City should proceed with the fall ballot measures. Councilmember Poe questioned why the City's ballot measures would be held invalid regardless of the Court's decision on Initiative 695. Finance Director Supler advised there is some question whether the Court decision would apply to all cities or only those that currently have the injunction. Councilmember Borden noted the Council must decide by September 18, 2000 on whether to proceed with the ballot issues or to withdraw them. She also expressed concern with the lack of public information made available on the upcoming ballot issues. Councilmember Wagner suggested starting the public education process now and include an article in the Auburn Reporter each month. Mayor Booth stated Mr. Hugh Spitzer of Foster Pepper and Shefelman will be invited to the next Council meeting to brief the Council on the status of Initiative 695. Mayor Booth also indicated the public education process on the impact fee ballot issues will begin immediately.
