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.
Ordinance 5783
July 23, 2003
Page 3
It is not anticipated that the use will have any more adverse effects than an
outright permitted use since as a two family dwelling unit are already
permitted and constructed in the neighborhood. 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. The proposal, as submitted, meets the requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance with respect to lot size, required setbacks, lot coverage,
and required parking.
4. The proposal can be construed and maintained so as to be harmonious and
appropriate in design, character, and appearance with the existing or
intended character of the general vicinity.

Standards.
The proposed structure will comply with all current regulations for building
permits. The proposal will also comply with requirements for landscaping
and screening, set forth in the Zoning Ordinance, and building design, to
ensure compatibility with surrounding uses.
