WHEREAS, on July 21, 2003, the City Council considered said request and affirmed the Hearing Examiner's recommendation for the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to allow construction of an additional 3,440 square-foot duplex on .91 acre lot with four existing duplexes, on property located in the 900 Ordinance 5783 July 23, 2003 Page 1 block of 24th Street NE, within the City of Auburn, Washington, based upon the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Decision, to-wit: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The Property Owner has applied for a conditional use permit that would allow a duplex on the southern portion of a 0.91-acre property with four existing duplexes. The property approximately is currently zoned R3-Two Family (Duplex) Residential. 2. The R3-Two-Family (Duplex) Residential zone, under the provisions of Section 18.16.030(G) of the Auburn City Code, allows for more than one duplex per lot if a conditional use permit is issued, and provided that 3,600 square feet of lot is provided for each dwelling unit. Ten duplexes on this lot would equal about 3,960 square feet per dwelling unit. 3. The applicant has indicated that the proposed project will include construction of an approximate 3,440 square foot, two-story duplex. Each 'unit is proposed to include a two-car garage and driveway. 4. The contents of the case file, CUP03-0002, for this project are hereby incorporated by reference and made part of the record of this hearing. 5. In accordance with Auburn City Code Section 18.64.060, the conditional use permit shall be implemented within two years of the approval. If a Ordinance 5783 July 23, 2003 Page 2 building permit or occupancy permit has not been issued within the two- year period then the conditional use permit shall be null and void. At the time of the public hearing, an adjacent property owner inquired as to the cost of street improvements being allocated to his property when he is not the only lot using the street. The hearing record was left open for the City of Auburn to provide additional information, and for the adjacent property owner to respond. The City of Auburn Public Works Department provided additional information; however, following receipt of the additional information about the allocation of the cost of street improvements, the adjacent property owner provided no response or request for clarification. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW The Hearing Examiner has concluded, based on the Staff Report and the public hearing, that the conditional use permit may be approved in that it is consistent with the following criteria necessary to grant the permit as outlined in Section 18.64.040 of the Zoning Ordinance, subject to Conditions, below. 1. The use will have no more adverse effect on the health, safety or comfort of persons living or working in the area, and will be no more injurious, economically or otherwise, to property or improvements in the surrounding area, than would be any use generally permitted in the district.

The lot is large and exceeds the required per-dwelling lot size. The immediate area supports a mixture of single-family, multi-family, and non-residential uses. 2. The proposal is in accordance with the goals, policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation for the area is "moderate density residential." Policy LU-34 states that moderate density units shall be encouraged as a buffer between single-family areas and more intense uses. The site in question is located between additional property to the east that is zoned R3 and multiple-family uses to the west. 3. The proposal complies with all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposal complies or is capable of complying with the Zoning Ordinance.
