Administrative Recommendation: City Gouncil to introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 6368
Background Summary: The question of whether to allow small -craft breweries was raised at the
Planning and Community Development Committee (PCDC) at their October 11, 2010 meeting. After a
brief discussion, the Committee asked staff#o work on the definitions and come back for more discussion.
Staff revisited thisproposal with the PCDC at their March 28, 2011 meeting. The Committee gave staff
direction as to which definitions.for small craft breweries and distilleries should be used.
This information was presented to the Planning Commission on May 17, 2011 for discussion. The
Commission stated a preference for only allowing manufacturing and production facilities in the DUC if
the facility was, required to have a tasting room. In the DUC staff proposes that a tasting room be an
outright permitted use: Manufacturing and production facilities would require an administrative use
permit. Staff recommends that specific language requiring a tasting room in.the DUC not be added to the
ordinance at this time. The Commission stated that a wine production facility should also be a permitted
use, and the Commission stated a concem that the definition of tasting room might unnecessarily limit
businesses. Staff added a definition for wine production facility, and modified tfie.definition for tasting
room to be more general and to be dependent upon proof of a valid Washington S#ate Liquor License.
On June 7, 2011 the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended 7-0 that City Council
approve ZOA11-0001 as presented by staff (one member of the Planning Commission was absent).

SUPPLEMENTAL. SHEET FOR NON-PRO.lECT ACTiONS
(Do not'use'tfiis sheet for project action) - '
Because fhese questions are ve.ry general, it may be helpful to read; th,em in conjunction
with the list of the elements of the environmen#:' When answering these questions, be
aware of the extent of the proposaf, or the types of activities likely #o result from the
proposal that woukd affect the item at a greateT intensity or aY a faster rate than if the
proposal were nof implemented. Respond briefly ancf in general terms. '
. 1. Howwoald the proposal be li[cely tolncrease discharge to water,,emissions
to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or
production of: noise?
Small craft breweries and smaU craft distilleries and wine production faciliEies may
' increase d'ischarge to water, or may create `emissions to the air.
- Proposed measures to avoid or.reduce such increases are: The praposed,land cases would be :govemed and mitigated by:~ the Aubum City
Code, which includes, provisions for monitoring storm water runoff, and inputs info
the sanitary sewer system. The creation of, new manufacturing and production
facilities in the form of smafl craft - breweries, small craft, distitleries or wine .
produotion facilities would be goverried by `existing regulations at the local;sta#e and
faderal Eevel.
2. How woutd the proposal be Bikely to affect ptants, animals, fsh, or marine
life? Introducing aflowed uses af smaU craft breweries, distilleries and wine production .
facilities to the City of Auburn may have negative affects on plants, animals, fish, or
marine life:
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life ,
are: Generally, the adopted Auburn Comprehensive Plan and critical areas ordinance '
seek to protect and conserve plants, animals, fish, and marine life. Evaluation
based on the policies of the Aubum Comprehensive Plan and appropriate mitigation '
will take place on a case-by-case basis.
Policies within the Environment Chapter also provide guidance in the review of
development proposals to encourage native vegetation be used.and/or retained.
This should support wi(dli#e habitat areas, particularly near streams as the policies assist the City in addressing adverse runoff impacts to water.guality and wildlife
habitat since native plantings may require less pesticide use. City development -
standards including but not limited to the critical areas ordinance and the shoreline
master program regulations also provide additianal protection for these types of
impacts. .
3. How would the proposal be likefy to deplete energy or natural resources?
The proposal to amend the land use ordinance to allow three new manufacturing.
and production uses may have a result of depleting electricity, and utilizing .
agricultural products.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natura[ resources are:
_ None specffically, as tfiis is a non-project action. However, in adtlition to the
provisions of the Aubum_ Energy Management Plan (adopted in 1986), which
encourages energy conserva#ion in public buildings, street lighting, and recycling,
the comprehensive plan p(aces an emphasis on proyiding for attemative methods of
travel to the. aufomobile such as transit, waiking, and - bifcing. Praposed new
' businesses will have to comply with the most recentty adopted Washington State
Energy Code; which has measures that protect and consenre energy.
4. How would the proposal be likety,to use or affect environmentally sensltive
areas or areas designated (or oligible or under study) for goverrnmental
protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers,•threatened or
endangered specfes habitat, htstoric or cultural.sites, wetiands, floodplains,
or prtme farmlands? _
Taken as a whole, there should nof be any change in impacctss from existing regutations
on ernironmentalty.sensitive areas or areas designated for governmert protedion.-
Regulations are in place to protect environmentafiy sensitive areas regardless of the use
of the iand or tNese proposed cole amendments.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce Impacts
are:
The comprehensive plan and, in particular, the critical areas ardmance, seek to protect
environmentally sensitive areas (wetlands, streams, geologically hazard areas,
floodpfain, wildlife habitat, and aqu'der recharge areas) and to r+educe the impacts of
development on them. The Aubtjm Comprehensive Plan provides for the
implementation of innovaafive land management techniques to protect these resources.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including
whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible wlth
existing plans?
The proposal to arnend the Aubum City Code to allow for small craft breweries,
distillerles and wine produc#ion facilities will likefy not affect . land and shoreline
uses. The amendment would encourage uses that will be campatible with existing
plans. This is a.non-project action, which will allow new kinds of landuse. Land
and shoreline uses witl likely be no greater impacted by this proposed amendment
than the current imptemenfation of landuses.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
The comprehensive plan, critical areas ordinance, and other development
regulations, such as the zoning ordinance and shoreline master program, seek to
protect these land and shoreline resources and to reduce the effects of
development on them.
6. How would the proposal be Ilkely to increase demands on transportation or
public services and utilltles?
The proposal will likely not directiy increase demands on transportation or public
services. The implementation of the proposed amendment to allow fot three.new
production and inanufacturing uses will likely result in an.Ancreased damand for -
electricity and wa#er. Proposed measures ta reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
The Aubum Comprehensive Plan presently incorporates the 2009-2014 Capital
Faci[ities Plan updated, which saeks to maintain a sufficient level of service for
public services as development occurs.. .
Also, the City actively engages in planning for public facilities. The Comprehensive
Water Plan and Comprehensive Sewer Plan were'adopted by the Caty in 2001. The `
, Comprehensive Drainage Plan, was' adopted in 2002. l"he Corriprehensive
Transportation; Plan was adopted in - 2005 with updates during; the 2006
Comprehensive Plan amendment cycle. These plans help ensure that utility
; impacts`are adequately monitored: and evaluated on a project Ievel Ond citywide
basis. AA four of these documents are currently undergoirig amendments. ~
7. Identify, lf possible, whether. the propasal may confl[ct wlth focal, state, or
federa[ laws or requirements for the protection of ifie environment
The proposal does no# appear to `present any conflict with local; s#ate, or federal
laws or requirements.
