Administrative Recommendation: PCD Committee to discuss and consider recommending to the City Council adoption of Ordinance No. 6321. Background Summary: On June 16, 2008 the Auburn City Council passed Ordinance No. 6183 which amended the City's Comprehensive plan (map and text), zoning (map and text) and included the adoption of a sub-area plan related to the development of the Auburn Gateway Project at the Valley 6 Theater site and surrounding properties by Robertson Properties Group (RPG). Subsequently, on December 1, 2008 the City Council passed Ordinance No. 6219 extending the effective date of Ordinance No. 6183 until August 31, 2009. Then on August 17, 2009 the City Council passed Ordinance No. 6259 extending the effective date until August 31, 2010. Robertson Properties Group is working with the City's Planning, Public Works, and Legal Departments in revisions to the development agreement. The City is currently redrafting the development agreement. In addition to the economic conditions, other factors that support the extension include the acquisition in 2007 & 2008 by Robertson Properties Group of 11 acres located west of the Valley 6 Drive In Theater site. An addendum to the previous Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is currently being prepared to address impacts of the development of the additional 11 acres and project phasing. Also, the city's adoption of new floodplain regulations may affect the proposal. Unless future project is otherwise exempt under the provision of ACC 15.68.130, the project is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) and Riparian Habitat Zone (RHZ) and would be required to obtain a City of Auburn Floodplain Development Permit, including the submittal of a habitat impact assessment report.
