V. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Proposed Amendment to the P-1, Public Use District
Planner Stuart Wagner briefed Commission on the proposed amendment to the P-1,
Public Use District. The City of Auburn City Council has previously authorized a
contract with the Auburn Valley Humane Society for the provision of public animal
shelter services at 4910 A Street SE, a City owned property. This property is
currently zoned Public Use (P-1). Current zoning regulations for the P-1 zoning
district do not specify public animal shelter services as a permitted use in this zone.
In order to support the intended public animal shelter services at this property, staff
has determined the need to amend the Auburn City Code. Planner Wagner
discussed the handout, Exhibit 7, showing updated changes to the legal definition
recommended by City staff.
Commission asked if there would be specific language included for supplemental
design standards. Staff explained the use is only being added as a listed permitted
use and no supplemental design standards would be needed since the definition
proposed is fairly specific in that the shelter needs to be under contract with the City.
If under contract with the City it would provide supplemental development standards
on a site by site basis if needed in the future either through a separate contract
negotiation or eventually any site development of the property.
Chair Roland opened the public hearing at 7:11 p.m. to receive comments about
proposed amendments to the P-1, Public Use District.
With no public present for testimony on the proposed amendment to the P-1, Public
Use District Chair Roland closed the public hearing at 7:12 p.m.
Commissioner Peace moved and Commissioner Baggett seconded to move Z0A12-
0004 to full City Council for approval.
MOTION APPROVED – 6-0
VI. OTHER BUSINESS
There were no other business items.
Staff clarified the next meeting will be held April 3, 2012.
VII. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Planning Commission, Chair Roland
adjourned the meeting at 7:15 p.m.

Re: Planning Commission Training Session
In the past, the Planning Commission members have attended the Short Course on Local
Planning which is sponsored by the Department of Commerce and Planning Association of
Washington. Auburn previously hosted a Short Course on Local Planning in 2007. The Short
Course on Local Planning covers three main topic areas; Legal Basis for Planning in
Washington State, Comprehensive Plans, and the Role of the Planning Commission.
At the April 3, 2012 Planning Commission, staff and the City Attorney will be providing a training
session for the Planning Commission members reviewing the following topics:
• Role of the Planning Commission
• What types of projects are reviewed by the Planning Commission
• Legal Basis for Planning
• Public Meetings
If you have any questions prior to the meeting please contact Elizabeth Chamberlain, at
echamberlain@auburnwa.gov or 253-931-3092.
