Downtown Parking Management Plan commenced in August 2011 per
approval of the Draft Work Plan by PCDC on July 11, 2011. As part of
the work plan staff presented the Committee the Comprehensive
Downtown Parking Management Plan draft table of contents, which
includes potential parking management strategies, a deliverable of
Task 3 (Public Parking Methods).
Committee and staff reviewed the draft Table of Contents. The
Committee is supportive with the general plan outline and table of
contents. Committee would like to explore and evaluate the following
topics as part of the downtown parking strategy:
• Is there the potential for the City to provide a cell phone
application showing parking locations in the City?
• Could the City owned property be opened up for seasonal uses
for the community?
• Is there a greater benefit to the community if the City owned
property was sold to a private owner to provide more parking
inventory? Staff will review previous studies/committee meetings
to see if this was studied or reviewed.
• In the short/long-term, would the City or merchants benefit from
paid parking and should the City provide municipally owned and
operated parking spaces for individuals or businesses?
• Is there alternative use of the City owned land that would benefit
the community?
• How much is the value of the City owned parking facilities?
• After the four (4) block City area is redeveloped, what will the
long-term parking needs be for the community and how much
City inventory will be left to serve that need?

B. Code Update Project Phase 2, Group 2 (Wagner)
Planner Stuart Wagner reviewed the results of the public hearing on
the Code Update Project Phase 2, Group 2 held at the October 2,

recommendation for approval of the proposed amendments to the City
Council. Planner Wagner provided a handout reflecting the changes
recommended by the Planning Commission.
Committee and staff reviewed the draft code updates. Committee
made the following recommendations:
Modify Table 18.23.030 (pg 34 of 77) where the C-N, C-1, C-2, C-4
and EP Zoning Designations have Drive-through espresso standards
as an administrative use instead of a prohibited use.
Modify Table 18.23.030 (pg 33 of 77) where “foreign trade
zones” (allowing for bonded federal/foreign warehousing businesses)
are added to list of uses, either as permitted uses or administrative
uses in the M1 and M2 zone. “Foreign trade zones” would also need
to be defined in the code. Planning staff to return with suggested code
language.
Modify line item 55, pg 50 of 77, to allow other businesses or vendors
to sell merchandise or hold temporary events in the outdoor display
areas. Planning staff to return with suggested code language.
Line item 49, pg 51 of 77, add the word daily to read “Any outdoor
areas used for animal containment or exercise shall be maintained by
removing animal waste on a regular daily basis for proper disposal as
solid waste”.
C. 4Culture Grant Opportunity (Chamberlain)
Planning Manager Elizabeth Chamberlain updated the Committee on
the 4Culture Grant opportunity as part of an interlocal agreement with
King County for historic preservation services. In partnership with King

from $1,000 to $6,000 will be announced in December for project
implementation in 2013. Staff is interested in submitting an application

2013 Annual Action Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Each year the City of Auburn executes specific actions to implement the goals and strategies of
the Consolidated Plan for Years 2011 to 2014. Actions that will be undertaken in 2013 are
outlined in this “Annual Action Plan”.
The City of Auburn anticipates the receipt of approximately $455,000 in Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in 2013. Auburn's CDBG funds will be combined with
approximately $550,000 of General Funds to create a total Human Services budget of
approximately $1,000,000 in 2013. Human Services is responsible for providing and managing
financial resources to more than 30 non-profit agencies that serve the Auburn community,
administering the local housing repair program, and developing collaborations among community
partners to strengthen the response to residents in need.
The 2013 Action Plan proposes to allocate approximately $70,000 of CDBG funds to public
services. Most of those funds ($57,500) will be used to provide dental and medical care to
uninsured, low income Auburn residents and $10,000 for employment training.
Approximately $90,000 of the CDBG funds will be allocated to program administration, which
includes planning. The remaining $290,000 will be allocated to housing repair ($100,000),
economic development ($37,500), and support of enhancing youth outreach and gang prevention.
The City of Auburn is committed to focusing more on achieving solutions to recurring social
problems and achieve a greater collaboration among service providers. The Department of
Housing and Urban Development has worked to standardize the performance measurements
listed in the Consolidated Plan. The 2013 Action Plan combines the changes that both the City of
Auburn and HUD have implemented.
Overall the implementation of the 2012 Action Plan is progressing as planned and most of the
activities listed are underway. A more detailed report of 2012 activities will be summarized in
the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) that will be drafted and
released for public review before the end of the first quarter of 2013.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AND CONSULTATION
The development of the Annual Action Plan involves both citizen participation and consultation
with local service providers. Citizen participation in the planning process began at a joint
meeting between the Auburn City Council and Human Services Committee. At this meeting,
Council and Committee members identified a series of community results that they would like to
achieve through the appropriation of City funds.
The City consults with local service providers primarily through the solicitation of applications
for Human Services grants. Grant applications prepared by service providers furnishes the City
information regarding the goals of the agency, target populations, proposed services, gaps in the
delivery of services, linkages to poverty reduction strategies and collaboration with other service
providers. This information is reviewed by City staff and the Human Services Committee.
The Human Services Committee's recommendations were incorporated into the 2013 Action Plan
and presented to the City Council's Planning and Community Development (PCD) Committee in
ACT.A Page 12 of 112

applicants and local service providers. A public notice was issued and posted at City Hall, the
Auburn Senior Center, and on the City of Auburn’s website on October 1, 2012; this information
was also published in The Seattle Times announcing that copies of the proposed 2013 Action
Plan were available for public review. The City Council will schedule a public hearing to gather
testimony about the plan before it takes action to review and adopt it. The following outlines the
remaining steps regarding citizen participation and consultation for the 2013 Action Plan:

CITY OF AUBURN FUNDING PRIORITIES
The expressed goal of the City's Consolidated Plan is to reduce the number of people living in
poverty with the City of Auburn. Toward this end, the City will give funding priority to
programs that - in addition to complying with federal regulations and addressing a priority
outlined in the Consolidated Plan - are consistent with the following anti-poverty strategy for
resource allocation.
1. Each project must satisfy one of the three following overriding goals:
Help people move out of poverty;
Prevent people from entering poverty;
Address the basic needs of people living in poverty.
2. In making funding decisions, the City will give priority to programs that:
Support, complement or are consistent with other current City plans;
Are sustainable over time;
Have demonstrated cooperation and collaboration among government, private
nonprofit agencies and the private sector to maximize impacts and reduce
administrative costs;
Do not have a more appropriate source of funds.
3. The City will give priority to programs that provide services addressing the basic needs
of Auburn's most at-risk populations. A priority population for CDBG-funded services is
individuals who are denied, by poverty and historical institutional practices, the
opportunity to develop their full potential and to enjoy the benefits of community
participation.
4. CDBG funded services must be, to the fullest extent possible, appropriate and accessible
to people who may face special barriers in accessing services.
ACT.A Page 14 of 112
October 16, 2012

5. The CDBG program was built on a premise of citizen participation in the formation of
policies, including funding decisions, which address neighborhood and community needs.
The City will give priority to programs that promote community initiatives to identify
priority needs and to address those needs.
6. The City will give priority to programs that build and support the capacity of local
organizations to address the needs of Auburn residents.
7. The City will give priority to programs that support economic development and promote
access to quality jobs - positions that pay well enough to support an adequate standard of
living, allow the purchase of housing and other basic necessities, offer stability and
decent working conditions, and provide opportunities for advancement.
8. Funding priority will be given to agencies that provide direct services to Auburn residents
at locations within the city limits of Auburn.

Contingency Plans for Changes in Funding
Total appropriations may not exceed actual revenues and no liability is to be incurred in excess of
appropriations. In the event that actual revenues are different than the revenues estimated by the
CDBG budget, the following actions shall be taken:
(a) CDBG Public Service Programs: In the event the City receives a lesser amount of CDBG
funding than budgeted for public services, then the reduction will be made as follows:
1. Reduce or eliminate the appropriation to the Multi-Service Center's Employment
Program by $7,500 or the amount of the funding reduction, which ever amount is
less.
2. Reduce the appropriation to HealthPoint by $52,500 or the remaining balance of
the reduction, which ever amount is less.
ACT.A Page 20 of 112
October 16, 2012
11
(b) CDBG Capital-Funds Programs: In the event of a reduction in CDBG capital funds, the
amount of reduction will be prorated evenly among the funded project.
(c) Unspent CDBG Capital Grants: The funds appropriated to subrecipients for capital
improvements must be expended within the term of the subrecipient’s CDBG grant
agreement. CDBG funds appropriated for capital improvements will be considered
abandoned, and the funds will be re-appropriated, if any of the following conditions exist:
(a) The term of the grant agreement expires and the subrecipient fails to request an
extension in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
(b) The subrecipient fails to submit a request for reimbursement or fails to submit an
activity report during the program year.
(c) The subrecipient fails to make the project “bid ready” within the first year after
the appropriation. “Bid ready” means that, at a minimum, the bid specifications
are drafted and the subrecipient is ready to solicit bids.
(d) General Fund Public Services:
1. Reduction of General Fund Revenues: In the event of a reduction in the general
fund appropriation for human services, the reductions will be applied in the
following order:
(a) Communities In Schools: the lesser of $5,000 or the amount of
the reduction.
(b) St. Matthew's Jubilee Center's Latino Program: the lesser of
$7,500 or the remaining amount of the reduction.
(c) CHORE Program: the lesser of $3,000 or the remaining amount
of the reduction.
(d) If the above reductions remain less than the total amount of the
general fund reduction, then the remaining amount of the
reduction will be applied evenly by a prorated amount among the
remaining appropriations.
2. Increase in Funding: In the event of an increase in funding, then previous reductions
in appropriated amounts, if any, will be restored to the amounts recommended for
2013 in the reverse order in which the above reductions were made. If funds remain
after all reductions have been restored, then the remaining funds will be distributed
according to the allocation recommended by the Planning and Community
Development Committee and approved by the City Council.
FAIR HOUSING
The City of Auburn continues to monitor compliance with the Fair Housing Act. Complaints are
referred to the Washington State Human Rights Commission for resolution. In 2006, the City
completed an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) as required for CDBG
entitlement communities. The Fair Housing Consultant identified three impediments and made
three recommendations. The recommendations were:
ACT.A Page 21 of 112
October 16, 2012
12
• Expand current education and outreach efforts;
• Continue ongoing enforcement activities; and
• Target homeownership and lending marketing to minority households.
The City has implemented and continues to expand these recommendations. Information about
Fair Housing will be put on the City of Auburn's website and made available at City Hall. The
information will include links pertaining to where residents can file a complaint in the event of
alleged discrimination. Information will be available in English and Spanish. Summary data
regarding the number of fair housing complaints filed against landlords and realtors in Auburn
will be reported in the CAPER.
PUBLIC HOUSING
The City of Auburn continues to support public housing communities located within its city
limits. Many of the residents who receive the services provided by the City's human service
grants live in public housing communities. Two grant recipients are located within public
housing communities. In addition, the City of Auburn's Housing Repair program serves
approximately 10 – 12 residents per year who live at Tall Cedars Mobile Home Park, which is
owned by the King County Housing Authority. Home repairs include furnaces, hot water tanks,
wheelchair ramps and other repairs necessary to keep the home habitable. The following
summarizes the grants provided to specific public housing communities:
Agency/Program Public Housing Community Amount
Auburn Food Bank Burndale $40,000
Housing Repairs Tall Cedars Mobile Home Park $50,000
Total: Public Housing Community Programs $90,000
CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS
The City of Auburn will continue to provide funding to regional and local agencies that provide
assistance to homeless families. In 2013 the City will strive to maintain a continuum of care for
homeless families that includes emergency assistance, emergency shelters, severe weather shelter
and transitional housing. In addition, the City provides funds for the provision of medical care,
childcare and employment training to help prevent people from becoming homeless. The City of
Auburn plans to allocate $55,000 of its General Funds to provide more than 4,000 bednights of
emergency shelter and/or transitional housing to approximately 120 Auburn residents. The
following summarizes the grants awarded with the intent to reduce chronic homelessness:

YWCA Emergency & Transitional Housing $18,000 46 1,400 bednights
Total: $55,000 123 4,080 bednights
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
CDBG funds spent on neighborhood revitalization and housing repairs for targeted
neighborhoods will occur primarily within the Census Tract 306 and Census Tract 307.
According to the Census Bureau, these two census tracts are predominantly low income with
median household incomes less than 80% of the King County median household income. Public
services funded with CDBG funds and housing repairs in non-targeted neighborhoods will be
offered to low income or limited clientele residents citywide.
LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS
The City of Auburn will continue to implement U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) regulations to protect young children from lead-based paint hazards in
housing that is financially assisted by the federal government. The requirements apply only to
housing built before 1978; the year lead-based paint was banned nationwide for consumer use.
The following table summarizes actions required by these regulations.

BARRIERS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The City of Auburn will continue to look at policies that remove barriers to affordable housing.
The City of Auburn's Comprehensive Land Use includes several policies and objectives that will
guide the City toward achieving its affordable and fair housing goals. These policies include
maintaining flexibility in land use to achieve a balanced mix of affordable housing opportunities.
The City will continue to pursue mixed use developments that are consistent with the
ACT.A Page 23 of 112
October 16, 2012
14
transportation oriented developments located in Auburn's downtown. The City will look for
opportunities with public and private agencies to implement policies and offer programs that help
alleviate physical and economic distress, conserve energy resources, improve the quality and
quantity of community services, and eliminate conditions that are detrimental to health, safety
and public welfare.
LOW-MODERATE INCOME BENEFITS
Over the past three years approximately 90% of the clients served by programs funded with
CDBG funds earned low to moderate incomes. The beneficiaries of programs funded in 2013
with CDBG funds are not expected to deviate from these past trends. The City of Auburn will
continue to distribute its funds for human services based on priority needs identified for people
with low-to-moderate incomes with a particular emphasis on people who live in poverty.
POLICIES AND CERTIFICATIONS
Agencies applying for CDBG funds are required to respond to general and program specific
polices in their applications. All projects are evaluated to determine if they are:
1. Eligible relative to federal guidelines;
2. Consistent with the program objectives and strategies;
3. Consistent with local, state and federal regulations;
4. Feasible within contract and timeline guidelines; and
5. Capable of developing and measuring outcomes.
These policies include, among others:
• Consistency with local codes and policies;
• Restrictions on the change of use of property and buildings which were acquired or
improved with CDBG funds;
• Minimization of displacement and the provision of relocation assistance;
• Adherence to federal wage rates;
• Compliance with federal audit requirements; and
• Adherence to and enforcement of lead-based paint abatement regulations, fair
housing laws and affirmative action.
DOCUMENTATION AND ON-SITE MONITORING
Detailed records are maintained and reviewed to determine and assure agency compliance with its
contract and other applicable regulations. Deficiencies in record keeping are documented and
technical assistance to correct noted deficiencies is provided. The failure to comply with
contractual requirements and regulations could result in remedial actions and/or the termination
of funding.

Administrative Recommendation:
Planning and Community Development Committee to recommend the City Council adopt
Ordinance No. 6433.
Background Summary:
The Code Update Project began in September 2008 and is progressing in two phases.
Phase 1, completed in June of 2009, updated the City's residential-related zoning
districts (Title 18 ACC) and subdivision code (Title 17 ACC). Phase 2 updates the City's
non-residential related zoning districts (Title 18 ACC). Because Phase 2 involved a
number of zoning code amendments it was divided into two groups. Group 1 was
completed in December of 2011 and amended the following chapters in Title 18 ACC:
Landscaping and Screening, Off-street Parking and Loading, and Variances, Special
Exceptions and Administrative Appeals. Group 1 also added a new chapter related to
Outdoor Lighting.
The Code Update Project is intended to meet four key objectives:
* Improve development code readability and ease of use;
* Update technical content to address known issue areas and better support the City's
development review and quasi-judicial decision process;
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDACT.B Page 28 of 112
* Ensure development code and design standards are coordinated and consistent with
Auburn's Comprehensive Plan and other state land use and environmental
requirements;
* Promote sustainability concepts where feasible.
Ordinance 6433 will amend Chapter 18.04 (Definitions) of the Auburn City Code, add a
new Chapter 18.23 (Commercial and Industrial Zones) to the Auburn City Code and
repeal Chapters 18.24, 18.26, 18.28, 18.30, 18.32, 18.33, and 18.34 of the Auburn City
Code. The purpose of this ordinance is to reorganize and update regulations and
standards related to commercial and industrial uses. The ordinance will also provide an
adequate set of definitions for the land uses the zoning code regulates. On October 2,
2012 the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed code
amendments. At the close of the public hearing the Planning Commission made a
recommendation to the City Council for adoption of the proposed code amendments.
Since the public hearing, the code amendments have been reviewed by the Planning
and Community Development Committee. The PCDC had several suggestions to the
proposed code amendments. Those changes are outlined in a memorandum
(Attachment 1) and are incorporated in Ordinance No. 6433 (Attachment 2).

COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ZONES
Sections:
18.23.010 Purpose.
18.23.020 Intent of Commercial and Industrial Zones.

18.23.030 Uses.
18.23.040 Development standards.
18.23.050 Additional Development Standards for C-2 Central Business Zone.
18.23.060 Additional Development Standards for the EP, Environmental Park Zone.
18.23.010 Purpose.
This Chapter lists the land uses that may be allowed within the commercial and industrial zones
established by ACC 18.02.070 (Establishment of zones), determines the type of land use
approval required for each use, and provides basic and additional development standards for
sites, buildings, and associated improvements.
18.23.020 Intent of Commercial and Industrial Zones.
A. General. This section describes the intent for each of the city’s commercial and industrial
zones. These intent statements are to be used to guide the interpretation of the regulations
associated with each zone. The Planning Director is authorized to make interpretations of these
regulations based on his/her analysis of them together with clear and objective reasons for such
interpretation.
B. C-N, Neighborhood Shopping Center Zone. The C-N zone is intended to provide areas
appropriate for neighborhood shopping establishments which provide limited retail business,
service and office facilities for the convenience of residents of the neighborhood. A neighborhood
shopping center is designed and located so as to minimize traffic congestion on public highways
and streets in its vicinity and to best fit the general land use pattern of the area to be served by
the center. The protective standards contained in this chapter are intended to minimize any
adverse effect of the neighborhood shopping center on nearby property values and to provide for
safe and efficient use of the neighborhood shopping center itself.
C. C-1, Light Commercial Zone. The C-1 zone is intended for lower intensity commercial
adjacent to residential neighborhoods. This zone generally serves as a transition zone between
higher and lower intensity land uses, providing retail and professional services. This zone
represents the primary commercial designation for small to moderate scale commercial activities
compatible by having similar performance standards and should be developed in a manner which
is consistent with and attracts pedestrian-oriented activities. This zone encourages leisure
shopping and provides amenities conducive to attracting shoppers and pedestrians.
D. C-2 Central Business District Zone. The intent of the C-2 zone is to set apart the portion
of the city proximate to the center for financial, commercial, governmental, professional, and
cultural activities. Uses in the C-2 zone have common or similar performance standards in that
they represent types of enterprises involving the rendering of services, both professional or to the
person, or on-premises retail activities. This zone encourages and provides amenities conducive
to attracting pedestrians.
E. C-3, Heavy Commercial Zone. The intent of the C-3 zone is to allow for medium to high
intensity uses consisting of a wide range of retail, commercial, entertainment, office, services, and
professional uses. This zone is intended to accomm odate uses which are oriented to
automobiles either as a mode or target of the commercial service while fostering a pedestrian
orientation. The uses allowed can include outside activities, display, fabrication or service
features when not the predominant portion of the use. The uses enumerated in this classification
have potential for impacts to surrounding properties and street systems than those uses
permitted in the more restrictive commercial classifications.
F. C-4, Mixed Use Commercial Zone. The intent of the C-4 zone is to provide for a
pedestrian oriented mix of retail, office, and limited multiple family residential uses. This
classification is also intended to allow flexibilit y in design and the combination of uses that is
responsive to market demands. The uses enumerated in this classification anticipate a mix of
multiple family residential, retail, and office uses that are coordinated though a site-specific
ACT.B Page 43 of 112
----------------------------------
Ordinance No. 6433 - DRAFT
October 22, 2012
Page 12 of 23
planning process. The multiple family residential must be located in a multistory building; the
ground floor of which must contain a permitted use or combination of uses, other than parking, as
listed in this chapter. Certain heavy commercial uses permitted in other commercial
classifications are not permitted in this zone because of the potential for conflicts with multifamily
residential uses, in order to achieve a quality of environment that is conducive to this mix of uses.
G. M-1, Light Industrial Zone. The intent of the M-1 zone is to accommodate a variety of
industrial, commercial, and limited residential uses in an industrial park environment, to preserve
land primarily for light industrial and commercial uses, to implement the economic goals of the
comprehensive plan and to provide a greater flexibility within the zoning regulations for those
uses which are non-nuisance in terms of air and water pollution, noise, vibration, glare or odor.
The light industrial/commercial character of this zone is intended to address the way in which
industrial and commercial uses are carried out rather than the actual types of products made.
The character of this zone will limit the type of primary activities which may be conducted outside
of enclosed buildings to outdoor displays and sales. Uses which are not customarily conducted
indoors or involve hazardous materials are considered heavy industrial uses under this title and
are not appropriate for the M-1 zone. An essential aspect of this zone is the need to maintain a
quality of development that attracts rather than discourages further investment in light industrial
and commercial development. Consequently, site activities which could distract from the visual
quality of development of those areas, such as outdoor storage, should be strictly regulated within
this zone.
H. EP, Environmental Park Zone. The environmental park district is intended to allow uses
in proximity to the Auburn Environmental Park that benefit from that location and will complement
the park and its environmental focus. Uses allowed in this zone will focus upon medical, biotech
and "green" technologies including energy conservation, engineering, water quality and similar
uses. Other uses complementary to and supporting these uses are also allowed. Incorporation of
sustainable design and green building practices will be a primary aspect of this zone. The
construction of leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) and built green certified
buildings is encouraged and built green will be required for multiple-family dwellings. The city
recognizes that much of the property in this zone was developed under earlier standards, so the
goals of the district will be realized over a period of time as properties are redeveloped.
I. M-2, Heavy Industrial Zone. The M-2 zone is intended to accommodate a broad range of
manufacturing and industrial uses. Permitted activity may vary from medium to higher intensity
uses that involve the manufacture, fabrication, assembly, or processing of raw and/or finished
materials. Heavy industrial uses should not be located near residential development.
While other uses may be sited within this zone, permits for such uses should not be issued if such
uses will discourage use of adjacent sites for heavy industry, interrupt the continuity of industrial
sites, or produce traffic in conflict with the industrial uses.
18.23.030 Uses
A. General permit requirements. Table 18.23.030 identifies the uses of land allowed in each
commercial and industrial zones and the land use approval process required to establish each
use.
B. Requirements for certain specific land uses. Where the last column in Table 18.23.030
(“Standards for Specific Land Uses”) includes a reference to a code section number, the
referenced section determines other requirements and standards applicable to the use regardless
of whether it is permitted outright or requires an administrative or conditional use permit.

18.23.050 Additional Development Standards for C-2, Central Business Zone
A. Maximum building height:
1. The maximum height of that portion of a building that abuts a street(s) shall be no higher
than the right-of-way width of the abutting street(s). Building height may increase; provided,
that the building is stepped back one foot (from the abutting street right(s)-of-way) for each
foot of increased building height.
2. If the building abuts more than one street and the abutting streets have different right-of-
way widths then the height of the building allowed at any street frontage shall be the average
of the abutting street right-of-way widths.
3. The following rooftop features may extend up to 15 feet above the maximum height limit:
stair towers, elevator penthouses, and screened mechanical equipment.
B. Minimum setbacks: none required, see 18.23.050. D below for specific building orientation
requirements.
C. Fences shall be decorative and relate architecturally to the associated building. Acceptable
materials are brick, wood, stone, metal, or textured concrete. Typical galvanized wire mesh
(chain link), barbed wire or razor wire are not permitted. For further information see Chapter
18.31 ACC.
The provisions of this section shall not apply to temporary fences required during construction
projects permitted by the city.
D. Building Orientation Requirements. The following requirements apply to the construction of all
new buildings or structures:
1. Existing buildings or structures, including facades, that do not have setbacks or otherwise
cannot comply are exempt from these requirements regardless of the amount of
improvements made to the building, structure or facade as long as any alteration does not
make the existing facade more nonconforming.
2. Existing buildings, structures, or facades that are set back and within 20 feet of a street
shall comply to the fullest extent possible as determined by the planning director, with the
following requirements when any cumulative structural improvements are made that exceed
50 percent of the assessed value of the existing building, structure, or facade.
3. Any addition to an existing building, regardless of value, that will be within 20 feet of a
street shall also comply to the fullest extent possible as determined by the planning director,
with the following requirements.
a. For each lineal foot of frontage a building has on a street, there shall be provided an
area(s) for pedestrian amenities at the rate of one square foot of ground area for each
lineal foot of building frontage. Pedestrian amenities shall consist of such features as
landscaping, benches, entry ways with accents such as brick pavers, art work, or a
combination of these or similar features. The pedestrian amenities shall be located on the
property between the street right-of-way and the building. The planning director shall
approve the amount and type of the pedestrian amenities.
b. For buildings that have a street frontage that exceeds 50 feet then at least 25 percent
of the building’s frontage shall be immediately adjacent to the street right-of-way.
c. For buildings that have a street frontage that is less than 25 feet then no pedestrian
amenities will be required and the building may be located at the property line. There
shall, however, be provided a landing in front of each door that opens to a street that is
large enough such that no part of any door will encroach into the street right-of-way when
the door is being opened or closed.
d. For buildings that provide additional setbacks, except as restricted by subsection
(F)(3)(b) of this section, the area between the street right-of-way and the building shall
only contain pedestrian amenities.
ACT.B Page 51 of 112

Page 20 of 23
e. If a building has more than two street frontages then at least two of the frontages shall
comply with subsections (F)(3)(b) and (F)(3)(g) of this section and contain pedestrian
amenities between the building and the street right-of-way. Any remaining frontages shall
either have pedestrian amenities, windows, murals, flat surfaced art work or other similar
architectural features that would avoid large blank walls.
f. For new buildings that will infill between two other existing buildings the new building
shall be set back no further than either of the adjacent buildings unless additional setback
is required to comply with subsection (F)(3)(a) of this section. The proposed setback shall
be reviewed by the planning director to ensure the setback will maintain building
continuity along the street.
g. Buildings shall have windows that encompass at least 60 percent of the first floor
facade and at least 40 percent of the facade of each additional floor. At least 50 percent
of the area of the first floor windows of nonresidential buildings shall provide visibility to
the inside of the building. This subsection shall only apply to the facades, of new
buildings, with street frontage and shall not lessen the requirements of the Uniform
Building or Fire Codes.
h. The building’s principal pedestrian entrance shall be oriented to the street. If the
building is at a corner, either street or alley, then the principal pedestrian entrance shall
be at the corner unless a better architectural design is attained at another location and
approved by the planning director.
i. Buildings that are at the intersection of either two streets or a street and an alley shall
provide for a sight distance triangular setback as required by Chapter 18.31 ACC. These
triangular areas may contain pedestrian amenities that satisfy the requirements of
subsection (F)(3)(a) of this section.
j. A site plan shall be prepared by the proponent which addresses compliance with the
requirements as outlined in subsections (F)(3)(a) through (F)(3)(i) of this section. The site
plan shall be approved by the planning director prior to the submittal of any building
permit.
k. For the sole purposes of subsection F of this section the term “street” shall include the
right-of-way of private and public streets. The term shall also include pedestrian
walkways, encumbered by an easement or similar means, that are used by the general
public to travel from one property to another.
E. Mechanical equipment on rooftops shall be sited and designed to minimize noise and
effectively screen the equipment from view from adjacent properties and rights-of-way. The
following methods, or a combination thereof, may be used:
1. Setback from the roof edge to obscure visibility from below;
2. Integration into the building architecture, using building walls, roof wells or roof parapets to
conceal the equipment;
3. Equipment enclosure or sight-obscuring fencing or landscaping;
4. Overhead trellis or roof to obscure visibility from above.

Administrative Recommendation:
Planning and Community Development Committee to recommend to the City Council
adoption of Ordinance No. 6434.
Background Summary:
The Code Update Project began in September 2008 and is progressing in two phases.
Phase 1, completed in June of 2009, updated the City's residential-related zoning
districts (Title 18 ACC) and subdivision code (Title 17 ACC). Phase 2 updates the City's
non-residential related zoning districts (Title 18 ACC). Because Phase 2 involved a
number of zoning code amendments it was divided into two groups. Group 1 was
completed in December of 2011 and amended the following chapters in Title 18 ACC:
Landscaping and Screening, Off-street Parking and Loading, and Variances, Special
Exceptions and Administrative Appeals. Group 1 also added a new chapter related to
Outdoor Lighting.
The Code Update Project is intended to meet four key objectives:
* Improve development code readability and ease of use;
* Update technical content to address known issue areas and better support the City's
development review and quasi-judicial decision process;
* Ensure development code and design standards are coordinated and consistent with
Auburn's Comprehensive Plan and other state land use and environmental
requirements;
* Promote sustainability concepts where feasible.
Ordinance No. 6434 will add a new Chapter 18.35 (Special Purpose Zones) to the
Auburn City Code and repeal Chapters 18.22, 18.40 and 18.44 of the Auburn City Code.
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDACT.C Page 56 of 112
The purpose of this ordinance is to reorganize and update regulations and standards
related to special purpose zones - Residential Office, Residential Office/Hospital Zone,
Public Use Zone and Institutional Zone.
On October 2, 2012 the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed
code amendments. At the close of the public hearing the Planning Commission made a
recommendation to the City Council for adoption of the proposed code amendments.
Since the public hearing, the code amendments have been reviewed by the Planning
and Community Development Committee. The Committee was satisfied with the
amendments proposed.

----------------------------------
Ordinance No. 6434 - DRAFT

18.35.010 Purpose.
This Chapter lists the land uses that may be allowed within the residential office, residential
office-hospital, institutional, and public use zones established by ACC 18.02.070 (Establishment
of zones), determines the type of land use approval required for each use, and provides basic
standards for site layout and building size.
18.35.020 Intent of Special Purpose Zones.
A. General. This section describes the intent for each of the city’s special purpose zones.
These intent statements may be used to guide the interpretation of the regulations associated
with each zone.
B. RO and RO-H Residential Office and Residential Office- Hospital Zone. The RO and
RO-H is intended primarily to accommodate small-scale business and professional offices,
medical and dental clinics, and banks and similar financial institutions at locations where they are
compatible with residential uses. Some retail and personal services may be permitted if
supplemental to the other uses allowed in the zone. This zone is intended for those areas that are
in transition from residential to commercial uses along arterials or near the hospital. Conversion
of residential uses to commercial uses is geared towards encouraging adaptive re-use of existing
single-family structures that continue to appear in accord with the single-family residential
character. The RO-H designation is to be used exclusively for the hospital area, located in the
vicinity of 2nd Street NE and Auburn Avenue, and is intended to be used for medical and related
uses and those uses compatible with the medical com munity.
C. P-1 Public Use Zone. The P-1 zone is intended to provide for the appropriate location
and development of public uses that serve the cultural, educational, recreational, and public
service needs of the community.
D. I Institutional Zone. The I zone is intended to provide an area wherein educational,
governmental, theological, recreational, cultural and other public and quasi-public uses may be
allowed to develop. It is further intended these areas be significant in scope which will allow a
combination of uses which may not be permitted outright within other zones. This district is not
intended to include those smaller or singular public uses which are consistent with and permitted
in other zones. (Ord. 4229 § 2, 1987.)
18.35.30 Uses.
A. General permit requirements. Table 18.35.030 identifies the uses of land allowed in each
special purpose zone and the planning permit required to establish each use.
B. Requirements for certain specific land uses. Where the last column in Table 18.35.030
(“Standards for Specific Land Uses”) includes a section number, the referenced section
determines other requirements and standards applicable to the use regardless of whether it is
permitted outright or requires an administrative or conditional use permit.

Administrative Recommendation:
Planning and Development Committee to recommend the City Council adopt Ordinance
No. 6435.
Background Summary:
The Code Update Project began in September 2008 and is progressing in two phases.
Phase 1, completed in June of 2009, updated the City's residential-related zoning
districts (Title 18 ACC) and subdivision code (Title 17 ACC). Phase 2 updates the City's
non-residential related zoning districts (Title 18 ACC). Because Phase 2 involved a
number of zoning code amendments it was divided into two groups. Group 1 was
completed in December of 2011 and amended the following chapters in Title 18 ACC:
Landscaping and Screening, Off-street Parking and Loading, and Variances, Special
Exceptions and Administrative Appeals. Group 1 also added a new chapter related to
Outdoor Lighting.
The Code Update Project is intended to meet four key objectives:
* Improve development code readability and ease of use;
* Update technical content to address known issue areas and better support the City's
development review and quasi-judicial decision process;
* Ensure development code and design standards are coordinated and consistent with
Auburn's Comprehensive Plan and other state land use and environmental
requirements;
* Promote sustainability concepts where feasible.
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDACT.D Page 66 of 112
Ordinance No. 6435 will add a new Chapter 18.57 (Standards for Specific Land Uses) to
the Auburn City Code. The purpose of this ordinance is to add specific standards for
certain land uses within individual or multiple non-residential zones to mitigate their
potential adverse impacts.
On October 2, 2012 the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed
code amendments. At the close of the public hearing the Planning Commission made a
recommendation to the City Council for adoption of the proposed code amendments.
Since the public hearing, the code amendments have been reviewed by the Planning
and Community Development Committee. The PCDC had several suggestions to the
proposed code amendments. Those changes are outlined in a memorandum
(Attachment 1) and are incorporated in Ordinance No. 6435 (Attachment 2).

Re: Code Update Project – Phase 2, Group 2
Discussion of proposed code amendments for non-residential zones
Background
On October 8, 2012 staff presented the Code Update Project Phase 2, Group 2 zoning code
text amendments to the Planning and Community Development Committee. At that meeting the
Committee went over the new definitions and Chapters that would be added to Title 18 –
Zoning. Following the review of the proposed amendments, the Committee had several
suggestions to staff. Staff has taken those suggestions and modified the proposed text
amendments in the following manner:

Administrative Recommendation:
Planning and Community Development Committee to recommend to the City Council
adoption of Resolution No. 4870.
Background Summary:
Resolution No. Number 4870 authorizes the execution of an Interagency Agreement with
King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks, Water and Land Resources
Division, to provide engineering related services for the Fenster Levee Setback, Phase
2B project.
Staff previously presented a similar version of this agreement to the Committee on
September 12, 2011. At that time, the project cost was estimated at a total of $639,103.
Subsequent to that meeting, the City learned from King County that the Fenster 2B
Project would need to be designed and constructed to a higher level of flood risk
protection than previously assumed due to the number of homes, streets, and
infrastructure located in the vicinity of the project. Project design and construction
planning to that point had been based on using a design approach similar to that used
for the Fenster Phase 1 and Pautzke revetment removal/levee setback projects, which
have less homes and infrastructure in their immediate vicinity.
The higher level of flood risk protection required for this project will necessitate the use of
greater quantities of rock and involves a greater amount of excavation and fill. As a
result, the estimated cost of the project increased from $639,000 to between $1,200,000
and $1,350,000. At the time the City was notified of the higher estimated costs to
construct the project, staff suspended further work on design or construction of the
project until additional funding could be located to cover the higher costs. Over the past
several months, additional funding resources have been identified, and all but one of
those resources has been either pledged or awarded (see further discussion of budget
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDACT.E Page 83 of 112
and funding sources below).
The Fenster, Phase 2B project is contained in the City's 2012-2017 Capital Facilities
Plan as Project No. CP1016. The project involves the design, permitting and construction
of in-stream, riparian, and floodplain habitat restoration with a focus on habitat
enhancement for Chinook salmon and other salmonid species listed as Threatened or
Endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act. The project will also provide
improved floodwater conveyance and storage by ‘setting back' and reconstructing
approximately of 700 feet of the existing Fenster Levee (revetment) at the north end of
Fenster Nature Park, approximately 300 feet landward of its current location. To date, a
preliminary design for the project has been developed, and a project feasibility analysis,
wetland survey, cultural resource survey, and a design alternatives evaluation have been
prepared. Please find attached a vicinity map depicting the location of the project, and a
site map that provides a conceptual project overview.
Based on the revised project schedule, next steps include completing the design plans to
be used for submitting state and federal permit applications, and then submitting the
permit applications by December 31, 2012. This timeline is expected to support project
construction in Summer 2013, and project completion in mid 2014.
To date, the City has secured project funding from six different sources. A funding
difference of $327,353 still exists between estimated project budget and funds available,
however an application has been submitted for 2013 Salmon Recovery Grant funding to
the SRFB for the needed funds. While the SRFB is not expected to make a decision until
December 2012, SRFB staff (Washington Recreation and Conservation Office) has
requested that the City move forward with project design using the funding previously
awarded. Staff will provide greater detail on this recommendation at the Committee
meeting.
The total budgeted project cost is $1,266,456. Project funding is comprised of the
following sources:
Salmon Recovery Fund Board Grant #09-1429: $304,103 (awarded)
Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration Fund Grant: $100,000 (awarded)
King Conservation District Grant: $200,000 (awarded)
King County Flood Control District Grant: $300,000 (awarded)
King County DNRP, WLRD Contribution: $35,000 in in-kind technical services (provided
as part of attached agreement)
City of Auburn Stormwater Fund: $35,000 (budgeted)
Total Awarded/Budgeted Funding: $939,103
Salmon Recovery Funding Board Grant Application #12-1444: $327,353 (Upon final
SRFB Committee review, project grant application has received a "Project is Clear"
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDACT.E Page 84 of 112
rating on October 2, 2012. A final funding decision by the SRFB is anticipated in
December 2012)
Total Pending Funding: $327,353
At the Planning and Community Development Committee meeting on October 22, 2012,
staff will provide additional information about the project and answer any questions
Committee members may have.

ACT.E Page 93 of 112
6
officials, employees, and agents, while acting within the scope of their employment
for the services provided for herein, from any and all costs, claims, judgments,
penalties, and/or awards of damages, arising out of or in any way resulting from a
negligent act or omission of Auburn, it officers, officials, employees or agents in
performing its obligations under the terms of this Agreement. To the extent not
within any immunity conferred by law on King County and on Auburn, King County
agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Auburn, its officers, officials, employees, and
agents, while acting within the scope of their employment for the services provided
for herein, from any and all costs, claims, judgments, penalties, and/or awards of
damages, arising out of or in any way resulting from a negligent act or omission of
King County, its officers, officials, employees or agents in performing its obligations
under the terms of this Agreement. In the case of negligence of both the City and
King County, any damages that may be allowed shall be levied in proportion to the
percentage of negligence attributable to each Party, and each Party shall have the
right to seek contribution from the other Party in proportion to the percentage of
negligence attributable to the other Party.
B. Each Party agrees that its obligations under Section A of this Article extend to any
claim, demand, and/or cause of action brought by, or on behalf of, any of its
employees or agents. For this purpose, each Party, by mutual negotiation, hereby
waives, with respect to the other Party only, any immunity that would otherwise be
available against such claims under the Industrial Insurance provisions of Title 51
RCW; provided that such waiver shall not preclude any indemnifying Party from
raising such immunity as a defense against any claim brought against the
indemnifying Party by any of its employees.
C. The Parties recognize that the Project is intended to increase protection against
flooding and its damages for the City, its citizens, and property within and around the
City. However, such efforts at increasing protection are no guarantee that flooding
and damage will not occur. In the event that flooding does occur, King County and
Auburn shall continue to enjoy the immunity for flood prevention measures conferred
by law, and it is the intention of the Parties that the City shall likewise be included
within such immunity to the extent allowed by law, and to the extent not covered by
ACT.E Page 94 of 112
7
the City's reasonable exercise of its police powers. Nothing in this Article VII shall
be construed to eliminate, reduce, or otherwise abrogate any immunity conferred on
King County or Auburn in connection with acts or omissions arising out of the
Project. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring any rights on any
third party.
D. In the event that a Party incurs any judgment, award, and/or costs, including
reasonable attorney's fees, arising from actions, to enforce the provisions of this
Article and prevails in such actions, all such fees, expenses, and costs shall be
recoverable from the other Party. The indemnification provisions in this Article VII
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
VIII. Compliance with Conditions Pertaining to Auburn’s Salmon Project Agreement
with the State of Washington through its Salmon Recovery Funding Board
A. Partial funding for the Project derives from federal funding for salmon conservation
provided to Auburn through a grant agreement with the State of Washington Salmon
Recovery Funding Board ("Funding Board"). The grant agreement sets specific
requirements for and restrictions on the use of the funds provided, including funds
passed through to third parties to complete Project work. The terms in this Section
VIII derive from the requirements in the grant agreement.
B. The County will implement this Agreement in accordance with applicable federal,
state, and local laws, regulations and the Washington State Recreation and
Conservation Office (“RCO”) and the Funding Board policies.
C. The County shall comply with, and the City is not responsible for determining

223.203(b)(8), limit 8 or until an Endangered Species Act consultation is finalized in
writing by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Violation of this
requirement may be grounds for terminating the Auburn - RCO agreement and may
constitute a breach of this Agreement. This Section D. shall not be the basis for
creating any enforcement responsibility by the City.
E. Nondiscrimination Laws – The County shall comply with all applicable federal, state,
and local nondiscrimination laws and/or policies, including but not limited to the
Americans with Disabilities Act; Civil Rights Act; and the Age Discrimination Act.
In the event of the County’s noncompliance or refusal to comply with any
nondiscrimination law or policy, this Agreement may be rescinded, cancelled, or
terminated in whole or in part, and the County may be declared ineligible for the City
to hire with any further grant awards from the Funding Board. The County is
responsible for the consequences arising from the County’s failure to comply with
these nondiscrimination laws, when applicable.
F. Prevailing Wage – The County agrees to pay the prevailing rate of wage to all
workers, laborers, or mechanics employed in the performance of any part of this
contract when required by state law to do so, and to comply with the provisions of the
Davis-Bacon Act, other federal laws and Chapter 39.12 RCW, as amended, and the
rules and regulations of the Department of Labor and Industries.
G. Restrictions on Use of Agreement funds – No part of any funds provided under this
Agreement shall be used, other than for normal and recognized executive-legislative
relations, for publicity or propaganda purposes, or for the preparation, distribution, or
use of any kit, pamphlet, booklet, publication, radio, television, or video presentation
designed to support or defeat legislation pending before the U.S. Congress or any
state legislature. No part of any funds provided under this Agreement shall be used to
pay the salary or expenses of any County official, staff, employee or agent related to
any activity designed to influence legislation or appropriations pending before the
U.S. Congress or any state legislature.

neither it nor its officials nor any other lower tier participants (defined as any other
ACT.E Page 96 of 112
9
entity to which the County passes funds under this Agreement) are presently
debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily
excluded from participation in this transaction by any Federal department or agency.
The County agrees that it shall provide immediate written notice to the City if at any
time the County learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has
become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
I. Should the County enter into a subcontract for the purposes of implementing the
terms of this Agreement, the County agrees by signing this Agreement that it will
verify that the entity with whom it enters such subcontract is not excluded or
disqualified. The County will do this by:
1. Checking the federal Excluded Parties List System (www.epls.gov) for that entity;
or
2. Collecting a certification from that entity; or
3. Adding a clause or condition to the subcontract with that entity.
The County agrees by signing this Agreement that it shall not knowingly enter into a
subcontract with an entity which is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or
voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized
by Auburn and RCO. Auburn and the County may rely upon a certification of a
prospective lower tier participant that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or
voluntarily excluded from the subcontract, unless it knows that the certification is
erroneous.

Exhibit One
Scope of Work
Fenster Levee Setback Project, Phase 2
Project Overview
The City of Auburn’s Fenster Levee Setback project (“Project”) will restore in-stream and
riparian habitat and increasing floodwater conveyance within the Green River by setting back
approximately 700 feet of the Fenster Levee from the river’s edge to a point roughly 300 feet
landward from its existing location. Project goals are:
• increasing the channel cross-section, thereby improving local flood conveyance through
the affected reach of the lower Green River;
• slowing floodwater velocities, thereby reducing erosion, and increasing flood refugia for
juvenile salmonids; and
• restoring quantity and quality of floodplain and riparian habitat along the river stretch.
Phase 1 of the Project was completed in 2006. On November 29, 2010, Auburn entered into an
agreement with King County to perform site assessment/data collection and feasibility and
alternative analysis for the Project.
Under this scope of work and attached agreement, King County will provide the following
services to assist the City in implementing the project through construction:
• Project management
• Cultural Resources Site Assessment and Associated Coordination with tribes and
regulators
• Design
• Permit Submittal on behalf of Auburn and Regulatory Agency Coordination
• Construction management and inspection
The Project will be funded using a combination of federal, state, and local grant money from the
King Conservation District, King County Flood Control District, and the Salmon Recovery
Funding Board, in-kind technical engineering and/or design services to be provided by King
County, along with local stormwater funds provided by the City of Auburn. These funds will be
used to pay for the design, permitting, and construction of the project including the technical
support described below in this scope. Total Project funding available is $1,250,000.
ACT.E Page 99 of 112

Timeline
Tasks outlined in this scope of work will be completed in two phases: 1) design and permitting;
and 2) construction. Phase 1 will be completed by April, 2013 Phase 2 will begin upon issuance
of the Notice to Proceed to construction by the City of Auburn. Construction dates will depend
on approval of the final design, issuance of all necessary permits and local, state or federal
permit conditions regarding work in the river. In-channel construction will be completed by the
close of the “fish window” stipulated by the Hydraulic Project Approval issued by WDFW for
the project (this date is anticipated to be on or about September 15, 2013).
Tasks
1. Project Management
This task includes:
• Preparing scope, schedule, and budget
• Monitoring/controlling project work, coordinating project tasks
• Reporting on status
• Managing communications,
• Directing the King County Design Team and Construction Management and Inspection
Team
Deliverables:
• Final Project scope, schedule, and budget.
• Bills/invoices and supporting documentation to match project funding grant
requirements.
• Monthly written progress reports providing updates on project progress and status,
including scope, schedule and budget.
Schedule: Ongoing through to project completion (projected to be by the end of the fourth quarter of
2014).

13
Schedule: Site investigation will be completed within two months of execution of this
Agreement.
Assumptions:
No Register-eligible artifacts or sites are discovered or determined to be affected during
investigations or construction of the project. If such artifacts are found, it would likely
increase the cost of the Project.
3. Preliminary, 60 Percent, and Final Engineering Designs
Tasks include:
• Completing Preliminary design, including survey, base map preparation, setback levee
alignment, structure positions, preparation of design drawings and updated construction
cost estimate.
• Completing 60 percent and final designs, including engineering analysis, design, right-of-
way acquisition (to be undertaken and completed by Auburn), preparation of construction
plans, technical specifications, cost estimates, planting plan, and final stamping by the
engineer-of-record. The engineering design will be based on Alternative 1B from the
Fenster Levee Setback Project Phase II Site Assessment and Project Alternatives
Analysis, as modified to reduce construction costs.
• Performing constructability review to identify any potential issues and risks during
construction.
• Coordinating with the City on design modifications.
• Coordinating design development and review with the King County Flood Control
District.
• Develop Operations and Maintenance Manual.
Deliverables:
• Copies of Preliminary design drawings, revised cost estimate, and related documents for
Auburn’s review and approval.
• Copies of 60 percent and final construction plans stamped by the engineer-of-record,
construction cost estimate, related documents for review and concurrence.
• Operations and maintenance manual.
Schedule: Preliminary design drawings will be completed and available for review by Auburn
on or before December 1, 2012. 60 percent plan set and related documents will be completed
and available for review by December 31, 2012. Final plan set and related documents will be
completed and available for review by April 30, 2013. These deadlines are contingent upon the
assumptions below and at the end of this scope of work.
Assumptions: Final Design will be based upon the 60% plan set. Costs would be higher for
more detailed plans and specs required for contractor procurement.
4. Permitting/Regulatory Compliance
ACT.E Page 101 of 112
14
This task includes:
• Preparing and submitting all permit applications as agent for the City of Auburn.
Required permits/compliance actions are assumed to be: Hydraulic Project Approval
(HPA) from WDFW, via expedited process for fish habitat enhancement projects;
