B. Announcements
1. Presentation
Roger Thordarson, Chair of the Tranportation, Transit, and Trails Committee
(TT & T Committee) provided an update on the Committees 2012 activities
and plans. Chair Thordarson expressed his disappointment when the
proposal for a Street Maintenance Utility (SMU) bond plan and the proposed
ballot measure for Arterial Street Repairs (held April 17, 2012) failed given
the hard work and dedication of staff, Committee, and many citizens of
Auburn working to obtain financial assistance to repair and maintain the
City's arterial streets.
Chair Thordarson stated the Stewart Road Corridor widening project from
State Route 167 to the White River Bridge is being worked on as the City of
Pacific completes work near Valentine Avenue.
The Lakeland Hills to Auburn Sounder Station route is very successful,
ridership is high and many walk to the bus stop.
Chair Thordarson encouraged Council to ask the TT & T Committee for
assistance on any project should they need to do so.

II. CONSENT AGENDA
A. Minutes - April 9, 2012 (Snyder)
Vice-Chair Partridge moved and Member Holman seconded to approve the April
9, 2012 minutes as written.
Motion Carried Unanimously. 3-0
III. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Healthcare District Overlay Briefing (Snyder)
Planning Director Kevin Snyder provided the Committee background information
on potential establishment of a Healthcare District Overlay. Director Snyder
stated in an effort to prepare Council for the upcoming retreat staff would like to
discuss the Committee's thoughts on the possibility of a Healthcare District
Overlay and potential extension and expansion of the geographical area. Director
Snyder stated in preparing for the retreat it will be important to keep in mind as the
City continues to grow, Council will want to think about a vision for the future;
recognizing future growth will require patterns, approaches, and strategies. To do
so it will be important to set aside immediate detail planning to think 50 years out
and create a vision of the City and the City’s future (what would we have in the
future if we could have anything to provide a quality future meeting the needs and
desires of the community). As part of the retreat it will be the goal of Council to
determine strategy areas to formulate a work plan. A Healthcare District Overlay
may be one of the strategy areas selected by Council to focus on.
Committee pointed out the hospital has not been engaged in a conversation about
the Healthcare District Overlay. Director Snyder stated if a Healthcare District
Overlay is selected by Council as a focus area the City would work to engage
Hospital leadership in the discussion. Committee asked staff to provide a copy of
the current land use map showing businesses within the potential Healthcare
District Overlay.
B. Urban Center Expansion Briefing (Chamberlain)
Planning Manager Elizabeth Chamberlain provided the Committee with a briefing
on the Urban Center Expansion proposal. Staff and Committee discussed
expansion options and the recommendations of the Urban Core Task Force.
Committee determined should they expand the downtown urban center they
would not request a formal expansion but designate it as part of City’s
Comprehensive Plan only.
Chair Backus stated if the City wants to have something Council sets in motion,
articulating, and seeing a vision now and into the future, Council will need to
Page 2 of 4
CA.A Page 5 of 28
provide a 50 year vision for a community to build that future.
Mayor Lewis stated the City could experience a population expansion of up to
120,000 in the future; as the City grows the downtown area will need to expand to
meet the needs of the community, it will not remain the same size. To our
long time residents, Main Street will always be identified as downtown. As the City
of Seattle has grown so has their downtown. The City of Bellevue made a
conscious decision to expand as a city to rival Seattle; they then built their new
downtown vision. First the vision of what it would look like and what they wanted
and then they made the changes accordingly.
It will be important to put perceptions aside. Long time residents see Main Street
as downtown. Lea Hill, West Hill, and north and south developments have no
perception of what the old downtown looked like.
There must be a realization as the City grows in population over a period of years
changes to the downtown boundaries will need to expand to meet the needs of an
expanding population for all the citizens, not just those with the perception of "old
downtown". The City can honor historic Main Street but would not want to
maintain historic downtown as our only downtown.
It will be important to put perceptions aside in order to provide a 50 year vision;
being able to see beyond the present to expand an area with anything we want.
The vision serves as the framework for taking the first step for the future and helps
ensure that the City of Auburn remains a place for opportunities to grow.
Committee asked staff to provide the Vision 2040 from Puget Sound Regional
Council.
C. Director's Report (Synder)
Director Snyder provided an update to Committee. The Auto Zone off A Street is
set to break ground today. Next week the Auto Zone off Auburn Way North will
have their grand opening. Coastal Farm and Ranch is a couple weeks behind
schedule so the grand opening will be delayed to the end of May. The City is
approximately forty percent ahead of where we were last year with the intake of
permit applications.
D. PCDC Matrix (Snyder)
Committee had no questions or comments.

Auburn Environmental Park Parking Lot project (C412A0)
Change Order Approval & Final Acceptance
Date:

Department:
Planning and Development

Budget Status Sheet
Budget Impact:
$0
Administrative Recommendation:
Planning and Community Development Committee to recommend to full City Council
approval of a change order in the amount $21,322.09 to the executed contract with
Hoffman Construction and final acceptance of the expanded gravel and pervious
surfaces parking lot, graveled shoulders and pervious pathways at the Auburn
Environmental Park.
Background Summary:
Recently completed capital construction projects at the Auburn Environmental Park have
included the Wetland Boardwalk Trail Project (Capital Project Reference No. C412AO),
the Birding Tower Project (Capital Project Reference No. C412BO) and the Parking
Lot/Shoulders/Pathways Project (Capital Project Reference No. C412CO). In addition,
the City purchased 29 acres for the Auburn Environmental Park from Auburn Land
Company. The capital projects and land purchase were funded through the Auburn
Environmental Park Capital Fund (Fund 321). This Fund is comprised a $571,850 grant
from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO), a $571,850
match from the City of Auburn (the grant from RCO required a 50% match from the City
of Auburn), donations in the amount of $13,500 and budget amendments in the amount
of $29,250.
The Wetland Boardwalk Trail Project (Capital Project Reference No. C412AO) and the
Birding Tower Project (Capital Project Reference No. C412BO) were completed
consistent with project scopes and budgets.
The Parking Lot/Shoulders/Pathways Project (Capital Project Reference No. C412CO)
had an original approved budget of $23,500 of which $23,241.38 has been expended.
This project was for the expansion of the existing on-site parking lot with gravel and
pervious surfaces, construction of on-site pathways between the Wetland Boardwalk
Trail, Birding Tower and Parking Lot and improvements to the shoulders along the
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDACT.B Page 8 of 28
Park's Western Avenue frontage. During construction, the City's contractor notified the
City that additional gravel for the expanded parking lot and shoulders along the Western
Avenue frontage of the Park was required beyond the original estimated amounts in
order to achieve needed compaction because of unexpected wetness and instability in
the site soil conditions. Also, at the City's direction and per the approved plans, the
contractor initially constructed the on-site pathways at the Western Avenue entrance to
the Wetland Trail Boardwalk and Birding Tower with a compacted gravel base. Upon
installation, the compacted gravel pathways proved to be unstable posing both potential
American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and long-term maintenance concerns.
City staff after internal consultation authorized the installation of additional gravel and the
replacement of the compacted gravel surface with a pervious pavement surface. City
staff chose the pervious surface as a preferred low impact development method to
minimize stormwater runoff impacts and also to support the environmental mission of the
Park. The cost of this additional work was $21,322.09 over the original approved budget
of $23,500 for a total project cost of $44,563.47. Consistent with City practice, City staff
authorized the additional work to be conducted in order to maintain the project schedule
and take advantage of a mobilized contractor, rather than lose the economies of scale
by having to re-mobilize at a later date. City staff granted this authorization only after
determining adequate budget existed for the additional work.
All work for the Parking Lot/Shoulders/Pathways Project (Capital Project Reference No.
C412CO) has been completed and accepted by City staff. City staff recommends that
the Planning and Community Development Committee move to full City Council approval
of a change order in the amount $21,322.09 to the executed contract with Hoffman
Construction and final acceptance of the expanded gravel and pervious surfaces parking
lot, graveled shoulders and pervious pathways at the Auburn Environmental Park.

DATE: May 8, 2012
RE: Ordinance No. 6412 - Extension of the Traffic Impact Fee Exemption for the
Downtown Catalyst Area
Background
The City Council approved Ordinance No. 5506 on April 2, 2001 establishing a traffic impact fee
ordinance system for the City. On May 21, 2001, the City Council adopted the Downtown Plan that
included policies and implementation strategies intended to foster, enhance, and promote the
livability and economic vitality of the Auburn Downtown Business District. Policy 6-2 of the Auburn
Downtown Plan specified that if the City adopted a traffic impact fee system, consideration should be
given to waiving the fee within the downtown with the intent that the waiver sunset after a five year
period unless the Council elected to extend it. RCW 82.02.060 (2) states that local ordinances by
which impact fees are imposed may provide an exemption for development activities with broad
public purposes provided that the impact fees from such development activity are paid from public
funds other than impact fee accounts.
On May 7, 2007, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 6089 establishing Section 19.04.070 (A.9)
of the Auburn City Code (ACC) creating a ‘Downtown Catalyst Area’ exemption for the imposition
and collection of traffic impact fees within this area. A provision to this exemption was that it would
sunset on June 30, 2008, unless otherwise extended by the City Council. On May 19, 2008, the City
Council approved Ordinance No. 6178 extending the traffic impact fee exemption sunset date for the
‘Downtown Catalyst Area’ an additional two years to June 30, 2010.
The City Council’s previous approvals of the traffic impact fee exemption for the ‘Downtown
Catalyst Area’ was based on its determination that that promoting economic development in this
area is beneficial to the City and serves a broad public purpose. Staff recommends that a
similar determination is warranted to help promote continued redevelopment.
The ‘Downtown Catalyst Area’ is defined by (1) the boundary of West Main Street/East Main
Street to the north, “A” Street SE to the east, 2nd Street SE/2nd Street SW to the south, and “A”
Street SW to the west; and (2) the boundary of East Main Street to the south, Auburn Avenue to
the east, 1st Street NE to the north, and North Division Street to the west (see the attached
maps).
DI.A Page 16 of 28
Discussion
The City Council approved Ordinance No. 6308 on May 17, 2010 that continued the traffic
impact fee exemption for the ‘Downtown Catalyst Area’ until June 30, 2012. At the May 14,
2012 Planning and Community Development Committee (PCDC) meeting, staff would like to
discuss with the Committee extending the traffic impact fee exemption for an additional two
years. The traffic impact fee exemption would then sunset on June 30, 2014 unless extend by
City Council.
