recommendations and the material presented to the Hearing Examiner
after which the Council voted to approve Application No. PUD04-0001 with
the conditions recommended by staff; and two additional conditions
consisting of:
1. Lot No. 169 shall be eliminated and Lots No. 167 and 168 shall be re-
oriented to front on the plat's internal public street identified as "P
Street NE" and the adjacent access tract shall be eliminated.
2. Prior to Final Plat approval the Applicant shall submit a plan for review
and approval by the Parks Director to provide a separation, using such
features as short fences, rockeries and mow strips, between the
residential Lots 1-34, Lot 68 and the adjacent dedicated park land
tracts, (Tracts B, D, and F). The requirement for separation shall also
be addressed by the legal instrument setting forth the permanent care
and maintenance of open spaces and park land.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The applicant, Centex Homes, has requested approval of a Planned Unit
Development (PUD) for a single-family and multiple family subdivision on
property that is located south of South 277th Street the in the 1200-1700
block and 20 feet easterly of the undeveloped right-of-way of "I" Street NE.
2. The project is proposed to consist of 172 single-family lots, one multiple
family residential lot proposed to contain approximately 115 multiple family
dwelling units and 19 tracts. The size of the single-family residential lots will
range from approximately 3,230 square feet (Lots 19-33) to 7,922 square feet
(Lots 142 &143). Since the project is proposed as a PUD, smaller lot sizes
than typical zoning standards are allowed. The standards for the lots are
contained in Section 18.69.070 of the PUD chapter of the Zoning Code.
3. The site is proposed to be platted in two phases. The applicant plans to first
request final plat approval of the western portion of the site including the
multiple family residential lot and 68 of the single-family lots. Temporary cul-
de-sacs and utility services would need to be provided to ensure that each
phase can stand-alone pursuant to Auburn City Code (ACC) Section
Ordinance No. 5971
November 29,2005
Page 3 of 31
"
18.69.110. The second final plat would consist of the remaining eastern
single-family 102 lots.
PUD Approval Process
4. PUD's are allowed pursuant to Chapter 18.69 of the Zoning Code. More
specifically, ACC Section 18.69.040 allows PUD's within all residential
Comprehensive Plan map designations of the City, except the "Rural
Residential". The area must have at least 10 acres in order to qualify for a
PUD. The subject project is 40.9 acres in size.
5. The PUD process is a multi-step process. The first step is to rezone the
property to the PUD classification. The rezone is a contract rezone that
defines among other things the land use, density, number and types of
dwelling units, amount and type of open space, and the responsibilities of the
applicant. In the subject case, a preliminary plat for a single-family
development and a binding site plan for the multiple-family portion is being
processed simultaneously, therefore the next steps will be the administrative
approval of infrastructure, construction of the infrastructure, Final Site Plan
approval by the Planning Director for consistency with the binding site plan
and subsequent final plat approval.
6. While construction approvals of the multiple family portion of the site could
typically occur prior to final plat approval because the multiple family portion is
not dependent upon segregation, ACC Section 18.69.210 provides that
construction and development of all improvements for each phase must be
completed or guaranteed before any certificates of occupancy for buildings
are issued.
7. ACC Section 18.69.060 determines the maximum number of units that can be
allowed in a PUD. The number of units is determined by subtracting out any
non-buildable area and then multiplying the remainder by the number of
dwelling units allowed per acre by the Comprehensive Plan. In this case 21.5
acres of the project are illustrated on the Comprehensive Plan map as "High
Density Residential" which allows for 18 dwelling units per acre. Similarly,
19.5 acres of the project are illustrated on the Comprehensive Plan map as
"Moderate Density Residential" which allows for 12 dwelling units per acre.
The applicant has identified 0.03 acres of non-buildable wetland in the "High
Density Residential" portion of the project and 0.43 acres of non-buildable
wetland in the "Moderate Density Residential" portion of the project. The net
21.47 acres of the "High Density Residential" area is multiplied by 18, which
Ordinance No. 5971
November 29,2005
Page 4 of 31
would allow for 386 dwelling units. The 19.07 net acres of the "Moderate
Density Residential" area is multiplied by 12 and would allow for 228 dwelling
units. The subject PUD could have been allowed 614 dwelling units but only
287 dwelling units are proposed. This is less than half the number of dwelling
units that could be authorized.
8. Overall, then, as proposed the single-family portion of the project comprises
approximately 24.3 acres of the site and approximately 8.26 acres is devoted
to multiple-family residential.
Binding Site Plan Approval Process
9. A binding site plan approval is required for the multiple family portion of the
project. ACC Section 18.69.020(B) provides that for projects that contain
multiple family structures (with three or more dwelling units in a structure) a
binding site plan must be approved. The preliminary plat approval and
binding site plan approval must be concurrent if a PUD requires both
approvals. ACC Sections 18.69.140 and 18.69.180 provides that the Hearing
Examiner must conduct a public hearing and City Council action is required.
The binding site plan shall be consistent with the provisions of the PUD and
meet the submittal requirements of ACC Section 18.69.180(A).
10. The north central, approximately 8.26 acres of the 40.9-acre site is proposed
to be developed with a multiple family dwellings consisting of twenty-three, 5-
plexes as part of the planned unit development (PUD). These 115 multiple-
family residences will encircle the inside and outside of a looped private drive
aisle. Access to the multiple family residences is proposed by two driveways
each with a central landscaped median connecting to the proposed internal
street, 51 st Street N E.
Other Related Approvals
9. Other City approvals have been simultaneously requested. The applicant has
also applied for two variances to zoning code requirements that are being
processed separately. One variance (VAR04-0005) seeks to reduce the
front, street side and rear yard setbacks for a portion of the single-family lots.
The other variance (VAR04-0006) seeks to eliminate recreational vehicle
(RV) parking spaces that are required for multiple family residential
developments.
Ordinance No. 5971
November 29,2005
Page 5 of 31
10. The applicant also has requested approval of three deviations to City public
works construction standards by the City Engineer. The deviation requests
include:
. A deviation to the "local residential" street standard to allow a
reduced right-of-way width for 51st street NE, east of M Street NE,
. A deviation to the City's "residential collector" street standard to
allow a landscaped boulevard section for M Street NE; and
. A deviation for road radii for internal streets.
The City Public Works staff has reviewed each of the deviation requests and
determined they are supportable and approvable but is deferring approval
until after preliminary plat approval to ensure consistency of the decisions.
11.ln accordance with ACC Section 17.18.010, the preliminary plat proposal also
includes a "Plat Modification" request from the subdivision code in order to
dedicate less than the required amount of park land. Specifically, the
applicant seeks to compensate for the reduction in undeveloped park area by
fees-in-lieu and improvements. Plat Modification requests are processed
simultaneously with the preliminary plat request. The design requirements of
the PUD regulations at ACC 18.69.080(A)(2) acknowledge that less than the
full dedication of park land is appropriate.
Park Land
12. The PUD must also provide for public park property. The City may allow the
PUD to use the park land to meet its 20% open space requirement. That is
what is being proposed for this PUD. The City's subdivision code refers to
the City's Park Plan for requirements that for every 1000 population of the
plat, 6.03 acres of unimproved park land must be dedicated to the City.
Under the current proposal, 4.85 acres is required to be dedicated and 4
acres is proposed to meet the requirements of the City of Auburn. The areas
consist of the linear park (Tracts A - G) and public park (Tracts 0 & P). ACC
Section 18.69.080(A)(2) allows the City to accept a lesser amount of park
area if the PUD developer provides improvements to the park land that is
being dedicated. To make up for the 0.85-acre shortfall, the developer
proposes to provide to the City fees-in-Iieu of the required dedication and/or
improvements to the dedicated park land.
Open Space
13.ACC Section 18.69.080 outlines certain design requirements that a PUD must
meet. Each PUD must have at least 20% of the buildable area set aside as
Ordinance No. 5971
November 29, 2005
Page 6 of 31
open space. The subject PUD intends for 23.3% open space which consists
of:
* Seven homeowner association maintained open space tracts
proposed as linear park and sidewalk space (Tracts A through G)
paralleling 51st Street NE
* Five homeowners association owned tracts as landscaped open
space (Tracts H through L) distributed at corner locations
* One homeowners association owned tract that will contain wetlands,
wetland buffer and compensatory floodplain storage, if a FEMA map
amendment is not processed (Tract M) at the southwest corner
* Two publicly owned tracts that contain storm drainage facilities and a
wetland and wetland buffer (Tracts Nand Q) at the northwest corner.
Only that portion of the tracts located above the water surface
elevation of the 1 O-year storm event is counted in order to remain
consistent with the purpose of the open space requirement.
* Two publicly owned tracts proposed as dedicated park land (Tracts
o and P) at the east end
* homeowner association owned and landscaped open spaces within
the multiple family portion of the site.
Design Requirements Related to Alley-Loaded Lots
14. The applicant proposes three housing styles within the River Sand project:
multiple family residences with five dwelling units to a building, alley-
loaded single family lots (Lot 1 through 67) and the more typical,
detached, single-family lots (Lots 68 through 172). This variety is
proposed in order that the project may be responsive to market
preferences. The applicant indicates that the project is to be marketed to
individuals and young families.
Other Design Requirements
15. Section 18.69.080(D) requires certain design requirements to be met
including architectural treatment of the buildings and other site design
features as lighting, furniture, signs, fencing, etc.
The applicant has provided building elevations (Multiple Family Housing
Elevations and Floor Plans, dated 3/11/04) to illustrate building and
structural designs that are coordinated and complement the surroundings.
A representative elevation is provided for the multiple family dwellings to
Ordinance No. 5971
November 29,2005
Page 7 of 31
show modulation, and articulation of the facades to reduce the perception
of bulk and mass (ACC 18.69.080(D)(2)).
Representative design treatments are also provided for the single-family
dwellings comprised of eight designs for the detached lots types. These
range in square footage from singe-story homes of 1,300 square feet to two
stories of 2,370 square feet. Two housing designs are provided for the alley-
loaded dwellings ranging from single- story 1,500 square feet to two-stories of
1,733 square feet (Single Family Housing Elevations and Floor Plans, dated
3/11/04). A representative color palette for the homes has been provided in
the color palette: Homescapes. Sherwin Williams, 2002.
16.A conceptual landscape treatment of the PUD is illustrated in the River Sand
PUD Landscape Schematic DesiQn. Sheet SD1.1 - SD1.5, Lauchlin R.
Bethune Associates, Inc., July 12, 2005. The plan shows extensive use of
landscaping within the multiple family residential portion of the development
to meet open space requirements. The plan also shows sensitive treatment
of the public stormwater ponds located in Tracts Nand Q to ensure that the
storm facilities meet the intent of Auburn Comprehensive Plan Urban Design
Policy UD-6 and the PUD. Coordinated plantings are also proposed for the
other open space tracts and as street tree plantings. The PUD will also
require ornamental/pedestrian type street lighting, some furniture in the open
space areas, and the entrance signs will be coordinated. No landscaping or
site amenities are shown within Tract P in the southeast corner as no
alteration will occur within the shoreline jurisdiction of 200 feet from the
ordinary high water mark of the Green River. No shoreline permit has been
requested.
Sensitive Areas
17. Critical areas on site include wetlands, floodplain and river shoreline areas.
A preliminary geotechnical report and a wetland report were prepared and
reviewed during the SEPA review process. Discussion of the critical areas
and mitigation measures to address impacts on critical areas are incorporated
into the SEPA Final Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance issued June
2, 2005 (Please refer to exhibit list). In brief, mitigation includes additional
geotechnical studies, wetland and buffer enhancement, and construction of
floodplain compensation as mitigation.
Pedestrian/Traffic Circulation
Ordinance No. 5971
November 29, 2005
Page 8 of 31
18. Each PUD must promote pedestrian movement. The project will also be
responsible for continuation of the trail system along the south side of South
277th Street to the site's western boundary. The PUD will provide a system
of sidewalks along the project streets both within the right-of-way and as
meandering sidewalk within the linear Tracts A through G. The public
sidewalks on each side of M Street NE, north of 51st Street NE are proposed
to meander within public Tracts Nand Q that include the project's storm water
ponds. The provision of sidewalks that modulate in distance from the road
provides a superior design and enhanced aesthetics.
The configuration of park land dedication, Tracts 0 and P, provides room for
future pedestrian connections to the future construction of the Green River
Trail on the west side of the River.
To promote vehicle speeds on the internal 51 st Street NE consistent with
pedestrian circulation, traffic calming will be provided as determined by the
City Engineer at the time of roadway design. A plat condition is proposed to
implement this requirement.
19. Since access to the existing alignment of the undeveloped right-of-way of I
Street NE is unfeasible due to intervening land ownership, access is
proposed via a single boulevard-type access to South 277th Street at the
northwest corner of the site. On an interim basis this boulevard access would
accommodate full vehicle movements and would be signalized. Upon
construction of an additional roadway access from the west, generally along
the extension of 49th/51st Street NE alignment and completion of I Street NE
to S 277th Street (as depicted in the NE Auburn/Robertson Properties Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)), the temporary signal would be
removed and the permanent channelization shall be installed on S 277th
Street at the intersection to prevent left turns into and out of the plat (right-in
right-out only). The permanent channelization would be to City of Kent
standards.
20. This development can meet Comprehensive Plan Policy TR-13 by providing a
permanent boulevard-type road approach to S 277th Street from the plat as
approved by the City Engineer. The boulevard shall have a divided roadway
with central landscape median. This access shall include a temporary traffic
signal at the intersection of the boulevard approach and S 277th Street. Also
to satisfy Policy TR-13, prior to the issuance of a building permit for the
equivalent of the 76th single family unit within the plat, the applicant shall
financially secure the completion of a second permanent access route
Ordinance No. 5971
November 29, 2005
Page 9 of 31
consisting of the construction of a 24-foot wide paved roadway with adequate
shoulder and storm drainage provisions along the east-west alignment of a
new 49th/51 st NE between the proposed boulevard and the new "I" Street
alignment and the new "I" Street NE between 49th Street NE and S 277th
Street, plus a span wire traffic signal at the intersection of the new I Street NE
and S 277th Street. When the second permanent access route is
constructed, the intersection of the boulevard approach and S 277th Street
shall have its temporary traffic signal removed and permanent channelization
shall be installed on S 277th Street at the intersection to prevent left turns into
and out of the plat. The applicant shall pay to the City $495,000, which in
addition to the development's normal traffic impact fees provides adequate
funding to secure the second permanent access route improvements and
related improvements. In the event the City's traffic impact fees are
increased prior to payment of the $495,000. this mitigation fee may be
correspondingly decreased.
21. Notice of the future second permanent access route and the future
intersection modifications (the future removal of the temporary traffic signal at
the intersection of the boulevard roadway and S 277th Street and the
installation of permanent channelization on S 277th Street to prevent left turns
into and out of the plat, described above) will be recorded on the face of the
plat and on each individual property title within the plat. In addition to this
notice, adequate on-site signage of such future traffic improvements must be
provided as directed by the City.
22.At the time of plat construction secondary emergency access will be provided
to the plat from S 277th Street by means of the establishment of one or more
emergency accesses a minimum of 20 feet in width. These secondary
emergency accesses shall prohibit general traffic use through the use of
gates or bollards to the satisfaction of the Fire Marshal and City Engineer.
23. While initially the internal road lengths will exceed City policies related to the
length for dead-end roads without providing for secondary access connection
until the 49th/51 st Street NE extension is constructed, financially
guaranteeing construction of a second access point at the 76th dwelling unit
will minimize the circulation impacts and maximize consistency with City
Policy TR-13.
24. The internal street network of the plat will consist of two stacked loop roads
with three north-south internal connections and will be dedicated as public
right-of-way. The internal roads will be constructed to the City's "Local
Ordinance No. 5971
November 29,2005
Page 10 of 31
Residential" street standard except where deviations to City design and
construction standards are determined appropriate. The project will also
include alley-loaded lots accessed by 18-foot roadways within 20-foot rights-
of-way. Two access tracts meeting City standards will provide access to lots
at the east and south portions of the plat.
25. Traffic calming devices will be required on the internal street, 51st Street NE,
in order to prevent public safety hazards that may result from excessive
speeding on straight, flat roadways, especially as the transitions from a
"Residential Collector" to "Local Residential" west to east through the site.
Prior to Final Plat approval, traffic calming to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer shall be installed on 51st Street NE or the construction financially
guaranteed. Traffic calming measures may include but are not limited to
traffic circles, etc.
26. The right-of-way of S 27ih Street in the area of the project is currently within
the City of Kent's jurisdiction. The design and construction of the roadway
access, temporary signalization and frontage improvements including trail and
drainage will require approvals from the City of Kent. The applicant has
coordinated with the City of Kent and consistency is addressed in the Letter
from Gary Gill, City of Kent to Jeff Dixon City of Auburn, dated December 15,
2004 indicating general acceptability of the project's access concept.
SEPA
27. On June 2, 2005 the City issued a Final Mitigated Determination of Non-
Significance (FMDNS) (File Number SEP04-0037) for the proposed rezoning
to PUD and including the platting and development. The FMDNS contains 17
conditions (mitigation measures). The conditions prescribe geotechnical
procedures, wetland mitigation, floodplain compensation, archeological and
cultural resources, haul routes, traffic circulation and water line extension
requirements.

the surrounding area than any other project would have if developed
using the existing zoning standards of the zoning district the PUD is
located in.
6. The PUD must be consistent with the existing and planned character of
the neighborhood, including existing zoning and comprehensive plan
map designations, and the design guidelines set forth in ACC
18.69.080(D).
DECISION
Based on the Facts, Findings and Conclusions, the City Council hereby approves
the rezone request with the following conditions.
1. Lot No. 169 shall be eliminated and Lots No. 167 and 168 shall be re-
oriented to front on the plat's internal public street identified as lip Street
NE" and the adjacent access tract shall be eliminated.
2. Prior to Final Plat approval the Applicant shall submit a plan for review and
approval by the Parks Director to provide a separation, using such
features as short fences, rockeries and mow strips, between the
residential Lots 1-34, Lot 68 and the adjacent dedicated park land tracts,
(Tracts B, D, and F). The requirement to maintain the separation shall
also be addressed by the required legal instrument setting forth the
permanent care and maintenance of open spaces and park land.
3. Prior to final plat approval, the Applicant shall secure JARPA approval
from the Army Corps of Engineers to relocate the north-south drainage

4. The Applicant shall submit a legal Instrument setting forth a plan or
manner of permanent care and maintenance of open space, recreational
areas, private roads, park land, and other communally-owned facilities.
No such instrument shall be acceptable until approved by the city attorney
as to its legal form and effect. Common spaces shall be guaranteed by a
restrictive covenant describing that the space, its maintenance, and
improvement are appurtenant to the land for the benefit of the residents of
the planned unit development and adjoining property owners. The final
plat shall grant easements to the City of Auburn in all private open space
and park land tracts so that the City may perform maintenance in the
event of improper maintenance by the homeowners' association. All
maintenance shall adhere to City of Auburn standards.
