Section 3. The Council adopts the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, in
the Hearing Examiner's recommendation outlined below•
Ordinance No. 6436
October 24, 2b12
Page 2
FINDINGS OF FACT
Procedural:
1 Applicant. The Applicant is John Cheetham, Terrace View Properties, LLC
2. Hearin . The Hearing Examiner conducted a hearing on the application at 5:30
p.m. at the City Council chambers at Auburn City Hall on October 17, 2012.
Substantive:
3. Site/Proaosal Descriation. The Applicant has requested a rezone of two
adjoining pa�cels at 5680 A Street SE from C1, Light Commercial, to C3, Heavy
Commercial. One of the parcels is 1 17 acres and the other is 1 1 acres. The rezone is
necessary to make the zoning map designation consistent with its "Heavy Commercial"
comprehensive plan map designation.
4 Characteristics of the Area. The subject properties are adjoining by property
zoned C1, Light Commercial to the north arid south. Properties to the east and west
are zoned R7 and R5 Residential, respectively Immediately west of the property is the
terminus of A Street SE, which becomes the East Valley Highway south of the property
Just west of A Street SE is the BNSF railroad corridor Nonresidential buildings are
located to the north and south including a contractor yard for Rodarte Construction to
the south. Property to the east is steeply sloped and undeveloped.
5. Adverse Impacts. There are no significant adverse impacts associated with the
proposal. Compatibility with adjoining land uses is the only issue of concem at this
stage of project review. Property on all sides is zoned for less intense use, but actual
uses do not appear to create any compatibility issues. "A" Street SE and the railroad
tracks provide separation from allowed residential uses to the west and the property to
the east is currently steeply sloped and undeveloped. Mr Dixon test�ed that City
transportation staff have assessed the proposal and did not express any concerns over
"A" Street SE traffic capacity for the upzone. Mr Dixon also testified that the City
Council is assessing strategies for economic development in the vicinity, which could
potentially include additional zoning amendments that will provide for more consistency
in the zoning of properties along "A" Street SE/East Valley Highway
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Procedural:
1 Authority of Hearinq Examiner ACC 18.68.030(B)(1)(a) grants the Hearing
Examiner with the authority to review and make a recommendation on rezone requests
to the City Council if the planning director determines that the rezone requests are
Ordinance No. 6436
October 24, 2012
Page 3
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The planning director has determined that the
rezone request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map designation for the subject property is Heavy Commercial, which is
consistent with the requested C3, Heavy Commercial zoning map designation.
Substantive:
2. Zonina Desiqnation. The property is currently zoned C1, Light
Commercial.
3. Case Law Review Criteria and Application. The Aubum City Code does
not include any criteria for rezone applications. Washington appellate courts have
imposed some rezone criteria, requiring that the proponents of a rezone must establish
that conditions have substantially changed since the original showing and that the
rezone must bear a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, morals or
welfare. See Ahmann-Yamane, LLC v Tabler, 105 Wn. App. 103, 111 (2001). If a
rezone implements the Comprehensive Plan, a showing that a change of circumstances
has occurred is not required. Id. at 112.
The proposed rezone clearly meets the judicial criteria for a rezone. There is no
question that the proposal is necessary to implement the comprehensive plan, as the
Comprehensive Land Use Map designation for the property is currently "Heavy
Commercial" and the current C1, Light Commercial zoning is inconsistent with that
designation. As discussed at page 9 of the staff report, the rezone is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan because it focuses employment growth within a designated
economic development strategy area as encouraged by Objective 9.3. The staff
report's comprehensive plan analysis located at pages 9-10 is adopted and
incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full.
In point of fact, the rezone is mandated by RCW 36.70A.120, which requires a city to
"perForm its activities" in conformity to its comprehensive plan. The only other zoning
designation consistent with the Heavy Commercial designation is C4, Mixed Use
Commercial which primarily differs from C3 by allowing residential in addition to
commercial use. There is no compelling reason to zone the property C4 as opposed to
C3 given the uses for the property anticipated by its owner
The rezone bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safery, morals and
welfare because it will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts as
determined in Finding of Fact No. 5 while at the same time furthering economic
development in the City of Aubum as encouraged by the City's comprehensive plan.

CONCLUSIONS.
ACC Chapter 18.68 provides certain criteria for approval of a rezone. The criteria are given below in bold
followed by staff's evaluation of the proposal's relation to the criteria.
1. The rezone must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Evaluation
The applicant submitted for a comprehensive plan amendment on June 10, 2011 The
comprehensive plan.amendment was processed as part of the 2011 annual amendments. The
comprehensive plan map amendment was from 'Light Commercial'to'Heavy Commercial' The
applicant submitted a subsequent application for the rezone on September 17,2012. The intent of
the Heavy Commercial zone is identified'in the findings above. The proposed rezone will change the
current zbning from C1 Light Commercial, which has an emphasis on light commercial development
to C3, Heavy Commercial which has an emphasis on heavy commercial development. On Deceinber
5, 2011 the City Council approved the comprehensive plan amendment through Ordinance No. 6394
(Exhibit.l2). The proposed zoning will implement several goals of the Comprehensive Plan including:
Chapter 3 `Land Use' -Goal 12. Urban Redevelopment To encourage redevelopment of
underuUfized areas to reduce sprawl and take full advantage of the City's investment in existing
infrastrocture.
Objeetive 9.3 To encourage the appropriate use of areas adjacent to heavily traveled arterials while
minimizing land use and traffc conilicts by�
1) Managing the continued commercial development of existing commercial aRerials in a manner
which minimizes traffic and land use conflicts.
2) Conserving residential qualities along heavily traveled arterials which are not yet commercialized,
by restricting commercial developmenf to rypes which provide an appropriate bulfer
3) Protecting existing, viable residential areas along lesser-traveled arterials, from commercial
development.
4) Concentrate population and employment growth within the eight key economic development
strategy areas withrn the Ciry identi�ed as follows:
a. Aubum Way North Corridor
b. Aubum Way South Corridor
c. Urban Center
d. Aubum Environmenta!Park and Green Zone
e. 15°i Sheet SW/C Street SWiWest Valley Highway/Supermal!
f. A Street SE Coiridor
g. SE 312"'Street/124`"Avenue SE Corridor
h. M Street SE 6etween Auburn Way Norfh and Auburn Way South
Policy ED-6 Revitalize depreciated and/or obsoJete commercia!and industrial sites through
innovative regulations that redesign the srte in accordance with modem design standards and
industNal/commercial uses.
Policy LU-62 Arterials experiencing strong pressure for commercial development, but not yet
committed to commercial uses, sha116e designated for mixed use commercial and high density multi-
family uses. Development regulations should encourage the development of professional o�ce and
similar uses and multip/e family housing, with development and design.standards carefully drawn to
ensure preservation of a quality living envi�onment in ad%acent neigh6orhoods.
i �
Page 5 of 7
ORD.D Page 124 of 281
Date: October 3, 2012
Policy 1U-120 ldentify areas for commercial infill development and focus street and utility systems
' improvements ro facilitate their development.
The proposed rezone capitalizes on existing City infrastructure: East Valley Highway as it becomes A
Street SE. A Street SE is a principal arterial road that has an average traffic volume of 26,311
vehicles per day and good visibility for commercial development. The proposed rezone of the two
subject properties from C1, Light Commercial to C3, Heavy Commercial will allow the property owner
greater flexibility in the development of these parcels, with a greater number of allowed uses. The
proposed re2one meets Goal 12, to promote urban infill development, and Policy LU-120 by
facilitating infill development on a priricipal arterial street. The proposed rezone concentrates
population and employment growth in one of the eight key economic development strategy areas: the
A Street SE Corridor The proposed rezone will enabie the property owner to better market the
property, supporting the objective of policy ED-6 by allowing the application of modem design
standards for commercial use. Rezoning the property from C1, Light Commercial, to C3, Heavy
Commercial, will allow the property to develop with a higher mix of uses including professional offices.
The intent of the C3 zoning district is to accommodate uses which are oriented to automobiles either
as the mode or target or producing the commercial service. The intent of the C1 zoning district is to
accommodate commercial designation for smail to moderate scale commercial activities and should
be developed in a manner which is consistent with and attracts pedestrian-oriented activities. Due to
the long blocks and development being limited to one side of the street, A Street SE in this part of the
City of Aubum is less likely to successfully support a commercial business oriented to a leisurely
shopping experience that would attract pedestrian-oriented activities.
2. The remne must be initiated by someone other than the City in order for the Hearing Examiner
to consider the request.
Staff Evaluation
The rezone was initiated by the property owner Jon Cheetham of Tercace View Properties, LLC.
3. Any changes or modifications to a rezone request made by either the Hearing Examiner o�
City Council will not result in a more intense zone than the one requested.
Staff Evaluation
Neither the Hearing Examiner nor the City Council initiated any change to this rezone as requested
by the applicant.
In addition,Washington case law has ident'fiied other criteria•for rezone applications(see Parkridge v
Seattle, 89 Wn.2d.454; 573 P.2d 359 (1978)(conditions must have changed since the original zoning
was established and the proposed rezone must bear a substantial relationship to the general welfare
of the community); Ahmann-Yamane, LLC v Tabler, 105 Wn. App. 103, 111 (2001) (proponents of a
rezone must establish that conditions have substantially changed since the original showing and that
the rezone must bear a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, morals or welfare;
provided, that a showing of a change of circumstances has occurred is not required if a rezone
implements the Comprehensive Plan.)).
a. Conditions in the area must have changed since the original zoning was established.
Staff Evaluation
The rezone proposal implements the comprehensive plan land use designation for the subject
property. As mentioned under the Findings of Fact, a comprehensive plan map amendment was
processed in 2011 and approved by the City Council. The proposed rezone would adjust the
zoning of the property to correspond and be consistent with the comprehensive plan. Showing of
Page 6 of 7
ORD.D Page 125 of 281
Date: October 3, 2012
a change of circumstances has occurred is not required if a rezone implements the
Comprehensive Plan
b. The proposed rezone must bear a substantial relationship to the general welfare of the
community.
The property is currently undeveloped vacant land. The modular office shown on the aerial photo
has recently been removed. Rezoning the subject property to C3, Heavy Commercial will match
the zoning district to the comprehensive plan designation. In this area, A Street SE has long
unbroken blocks, and there is only opportunity for retaii to occur on o�e side of the street because
the BNSF railroad is located on the westem side of the street. The subject site is located on this
principal arterial where C3 is more appropriate due to the high fr�c volumes and the orientation
of the street to vehicular tra�c. The intent of the C3 zoning district is to accommodate uses
which are oriented to automobiles either as the mode ortarget or producing the commercial
service. The intent of the C1 zoning district is to accommodate commercial designation for small
to moderate scale commercial activities and should be developed in a manner which is consistent
with and attracts pedestrian-oriented activities. Due to the long blocks and development being
limited to one side of the street, A Street SE in this part of the City of Auburn is iess likely to
successfully support a commercial business oriented to a leisurely shopping experience that
would attract pedestrian-oriented activities. The proposed rezone is in cbmpliance,with the
adopted Comprehensive Plan which bears a substantial relationship to the general welfare of the
community Pedestrian shopping oriented businesses are better suited along roads with
development on both sides,with shorter blocks which promote siower speeds.

the Mearing Ezaminers recommendation outlined below
Ordinance No. 6436
October 24,2012
Page 2
ORD.D Page 128 of 281
FINDINGS OF FACT
Procedural:
1 licant. The Applicant is John Cheetham, Terra�View Properties, I:LC
2. Hearina. The Hearing Examiner conducted a hearing on the application at 5:30
p.m. at the City Counal chambers at Aubum City Hail on October 17, 2012.
Substantive:
3. Site/Pr000sal Descri�fion. The Applicar�t has requested a rezone of two
adjoining parcels at 568a A Street SE from C1, Light Commercial, to C3, Heavy
Commercial. One of the part�ls is 1 17 acres and the other is 1 1 acres. The rezone is
necessa.ry to make the zoning map designation consistent with its "I-leavy Commercial"
comprehensive plan map designatian.
4 Charaderistics of the Area. The subject properties are adjoining by property
zoned C1,�L'►gM Commercial to the north and south. Properties to the east and west
are zoned R7 and R5 Residential, respectively Immediately west of the property is the
terminus of A Street SE, which becames the East Valley Highway soutli of the property
Just west of A Street.SE is the BNSF railroad corridor Nonresidential buildings are
located to the north and south including a corrtractor yard far Rodarte Construction to
the south. Property to the east is steeply sloped and undeveloped.
5. Adverse Imoacts. There are no significant adverse impacts assoaated with the
proposal. Compatibility with adjoining land uses is the only issue of concem at this
stage of project review Property an all sides is zoned for less iMense use, but actual
uses do nat appear to create any compatibility issues. "A" Street SE and the railroad
tracKs pr6vide separation from allowed residential uses to the west and the property to
the east is cuRently steeply sloped and undeveloped. Mr Dixon testified that City
transportation staff have assessed the proposal and did not express any concems over
"A" Street SE traffic capacity for the upmne. Mr Dixon also testified that the City
Council is assessing strategies for ecbnomic development in the vianity, which ooutd
potentiaqy indude additional zoning amendments that wiU provide for more consistency
in the zo�ing of�properties along °A" Street SE/East Valley Highway
CqNCLUSIONS OF LAW
Procedurat:
1 Authoritv of Hearin�a Examiner ACC 18.68.030(B)(1)(a) grants the Hearing
Examiner with the authoriry to review and make a rec:ommendation on rezone requests
to the City Counal if the planning direcbor detertnines that the rezone requests are
Ordinance No.6436
Oc�ber 24, 2012
Page 3
ORD.D Page 129 of 281
consistent with the Comprehensive Pian. The planning directar has determined that the
rezone request is consisterrt with the Comprehensive Plan. The Compreher�sive Plan
Land Use Map designation for the subject property is Heavy Commercial, which is
consistent wiUri the requested C3, Heavy Commercial zoning map designation.
Substantive:
2. Zonina Desianation. The property is currently zoned C1, Light
Commercial.
3. Case Law Review Criteria and Application. The Aubum Cily Code does
notinclude any criteria for rezone applications. Vllashington appeliate wurts have
imp�ed some rezone criteria, requiring that the proponeMs of a rezone must establish
that conditions have substantially changeci since the original sh6wing and that the
rezone rnust bear a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, morals or
welfare. See Ahmanrr-Yemane, LLC v Teb/er, 105 Wn. App 103, 111 {2001). tf a
rezone implemerrts the Comprehensnre Plan, a showing that a change of arcumstances
has occ�urred is not required. Id. at 112.
The proposed rezbne dearly meets the judiciat criteria for a rezone. There is no
question that the proposal is necessary to implemerrt the comprehensive plan, as the
Comprehensive Land Use Map designation for the property is currently"Heavy
Commercial" and the curreM C1, Light Commercial zoning is inconsistent vvith that
designation. As discussed at page 9 of the staff repoit, the reaone is consistent with
the Coinprehensive P1an because it focuses employment growth within a designated
economic development strategy area as encouraged by Objective 9.3. The staff
report's comprehensive plan analysis located at pages 9-10 is adopted and
incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full.
In point of fact, the rezone is mandated by RCW 3B.70A.120, which requires a city to
"perForm its activifies° in conformity+to its comprehensive plan. The only atlier zoning
designation consisterrt with the Heavy Commeraal designation is C4, Mixed Use
Commercial which primarity ddFers from C3 by allowing residerrtial in addition to
commeraal use. There is no c�mpelling reason to zone the property C4 as opposed to
C3 given the uses for the property antiapated by its owner
The rezone bears a substantial relationship to the public heafth, safety, morals and
welfare because it will riot resuR in any significant adverse environmental impacts as
detetmined in Finding of Fact No. 5 while at the same time furthering economic
development in the City of Aubum as encouraged by the City's comprehensive plan.

Tfie Cit�r is praposing to revise the text of three chapters (Cha�ers 3, 4&8) and two figures
within these chapters (Figure 4.5 and Fgure 8.1) of the Comprehensive Plan to updabe the
changes in eity population as reported by U.S. Census Bureau (American Community Survey)
artd popuMation target data.
In 1997 the Washingtan State legislature adopted a Buildable Lands amendment.�the Growth
Management Act(Gl1AA) (RCW 36.70A.215). The amendmertt requires certain Washingtan
State courrties and their aties to determine the amouM of land suitable for urban development
and to evaluate their capacity for growth based an past developmerrt history.
Both Pierce and King Courrties are subjed to tl�e State Buildable Lands requirement. In
additiort, both courdies use the Buildable�Larrds effort to assisi in the alloeation of
populatiwdhou�sing uniHemptoymeM targets to individual jurisdictions within the respective
�unties as required by the GMA.The first buildable lands reports were based upon data
through 2002; the second reports, published in 2007, are curtertt through 2005. The next
s�uled update is 2012. In between the required reporti�time periods the
populffiioNhousing uniUemploymerrt ffirgets are estimated.
The Buitdable Lands analysis irnolves the identification of vacarrt artd redevelopable land

believes that manuFacturir�g and industrial land uses should over time largery replaoe
warehouse and distribuuti�on land uses currerrtly existing in ihe Ciry and tha! arry future

incernivixe greater retail uses in indusfial districts should be imptemertsd to increase the City's

of Aubum. In addition, bext amandments that support the 'irtcxeased allowance of retail uses in
the City's industrial zoning districts have been prepared. These amendments would t�eate a
pofiry fremework to support dd�ranges in the City's zoning wde that would lead to greater use

Policylfext Amendments
9. The purpose of the comprehensive Plan is to provide a policy b�is for the future mning -
changes to ensure that the Comprehe� plan and Zoning Ordinan� are consistent aa
required by the following city code sedion:
"ACC 74.22.050 CoMormance and consistency.
The zoning, land division and other developmerrt codes corrtained or referenced within
Aubum City Code shall be consisterd with and implemerrt the i�eM of the
eomprehensive plan. Capital".budget decisions shall be made in confortnity with the
comprehensive plan. °
10.The City crode provides certain criteria for decisions for camprehensive plan amendmerrts as
follows:
°ACC 14.22.110 Deeisicn crite�fa for plan amendments.
A. The wmprehensive plan was developed and adopted after signficard
s�dy and public partiapation. The prinaples, goals, objedives and polides
contained thetein shall be graMed substantial weigM when donsidering a
proposed amendment. Therefore, the burden af•proof for justifying a proposed
amendmeM rests with the applicant, who must demonstrate that the reqt�st
cart�plies with andfor rela�es to the tollawing decision criteria:
1 The proposed change will further and be consistert with the gaals and
objectives of the plan and the plan will remain iMemally consisterrt;
2. Whether the cspacity to provide adequate services is diminished or
increased;
3. Assurnntior� upon which the comprehensive plan is based are found to
be invalid;
4. A determination of change or ladc oi ehange in conditions or
arcumstano� has occurred since the adoption of the latest amendmerd to the
speafic section of the c�mprehensive ptan.that didates the nesd for a proposed
amen�nerrt;
5. If appGcable, a determinaticn that a que�ion af consistency exists
between the comprehensive plan and Chapter 36.70A RCW, the countywide
plarming poliaes for•either King and/or Pier�e Courrty, as appropriate, and�sion
2040: Growth and Transportation Strategy for the Puget Sound Region.°
11 The flrst criterlon Is that the change must fureher and be wnsisteM.with the goals
ara! objectives of tde ptan and the plan wilt r�nain i�emally eor�slstent The
Comprehensive Plan corrtains a number of areas of policy guidance that relate to this
apptication. Chapp�teer 14, Comprehensive Plan Map, starting at page 1490 provides the
following purpose and descrippon of the 'Light Commeraal' Comprehensive Plan
designation:
"Purpose: To crea0e people oriented commercrc�aal areas ta supply a wide range of
general commeraal services to area residerds."
"Descriprtion: This category represeMs the prime commercial designation for small �.
moderate scale commer�ial activfies. These commercial areas should be develcped in
a manrter which is congistent with and attreds pedestrian orier�ted 8ctivities. The

"Compati�e Uses: A wide range of consumer orierrted goods and seroioes are
compatible within this designation since the emphasis wouid be on periormance diteria
which create an attractive shopping environment. However, uses whlch re(y on direct

activities shauld be prohibited. Permitted uses would cor�sist of retail trade, offices,
personal servii�s, indoor eating estabiishmerrts, financial institutions, govemmerrtal
a(fices, and similar uses. Mu�iple family dweltings shoutd be encouraged as part of
mized-use developments where they da not intertere wRh the shopping characte� of the
area, such as writhin the upper stories of buildings. Since tavems can break up the
corrtinuity of peopte onerrted areas, tavems woutd be pertnitted gen�ally only as a
conditional use. Drive in windows should only be allowed as ancillary to a permitted use,
and only when carefully sited under the eortdrtiar�l use permit.process in order�ensure
that an area's pedestrian erivironment is not seriously afrected." (EmphasFs adaaed)
"Criteria for Designation: This designation should include moderate sized shopping
csMers, and centrally located shopping are�. This designation shoutd be prefemed for
commercial sites where visual and pedestrian amenities are an importarrt concem
outside af the downtovm."
"Considmretions Agalnst Applying this .Designadon: CanmercJa! areas Whi�h

"Appropriate Implertfe�tion: This designation is implemented by the C-1 Light
Commerciat District. This district provides for a wide range of small and moderate scale
eommercial orierrted towards the leisure shopper and pedestrian oriented activities."
12. For comparison, Chapter 14, Comprehensive Pfan Map, starting at page 1412 provides tfie
following ;purpose and desuiption of the 'Heavy Commercial' Comprehensive Plan
designation:
°Purpose: To provlde automobi/e oriented commeraal areas Lo meet both the

"Description: This category is intended ta accommodate uses which are orisr�ted to
automobiles either as the mode or target of providing the commerciat servioe. The
category would also acxommodate a wide range of heavier commeraal uses irnrolving
extensive storage or heavy vehioular movemern."
°Compatible Uses: A wide variety oi commercial services oriented to automobiles are
appropriate within this category. This indudes automobile sales and service, drive in
restaurarrt or other drive in commercial business, cornenience stores, ete. Since the�e
uses are also compatible with heavier commercial uses, lumber yards, small scale

"Appropriate lmplame�atton: This category is implemer�isd by the G3 Heavy

13.Also, later in Chapter 3, Land Use, the documerd describes the purpose of the cammerciai
land use designations aF the plan. Tt�e comprehensive plan provides the followine guidance
an comme�cial uses loca6ed alorig transportation corridors:
"Highway Comme�ial
"While commercial uses along arterials (aRen called "strip commercial" developmeM)
provide impoRant servio� to community residents, the prol'rferafion of commercial uses
along arteriais raises several land use planrring issu�. On the negative side. strip
c�mmercial devetopmerrt creates traifie flow prbblems and coMlict with adjacent land

cencem. PedesUian shopping is. .made difficiift, resulting in greater generation of
automobile traffic, and large fields of asphak parking lots are needed to accommodate
single purpose vehide trips.°
°Despite the problems assoaated with commercaal developmerrt along arterials, marry
such:focations are often quite unsuitable for other uses, due to the unnpacts assoaated
with heavy traffic volumes. Also, many commeraal use's thrive at such tocations due to
high visil�lity and acxessibility The.Plan seeks to manage existing arterial crommercial

(emP►�asls addedl
LU-66 The City should develop design standards and guidelines for development
along arterials to improve their visual appearance.°
Thus, while commercial 'strip' developmeM along corridors is generally disCOUtaged as
sprawl and can resuft in negative visual and fynctional impacts, it is recognized by the
Comprehensive Plan that the IocaGOn of canmercial se►vices along corridors provides some
community benefits and several poliaes are directed at implemerttirtg code changes and
authoriang development only in a manner thal seeks to minimize the r�egative efFeds.

measures as appropriaba to reduce tra6fic impacts on the adjacer�t resider�ial
neighborhood located east oT B Street SE between 8'" and t7'" Streets SE.'
Again, within this sedion, the Comprehensive Plan recognizes that commeraal 'strip'
devalopmerrt along Var�sportation corridors is generalfy discouraged as sprawl and 'A
uncontrolled can resuk in negadve visual and furn�ionaf impacts. This language is balanced
with recogn'dion that c�mmercial developmerrt along corridors provides cornenient needed
servioes. Addi6analty, this section prescribes that transkions should be provided between
commarcial uses and residential uses by city regulations and by the manner in which
developmerrt is authorized.
Considering the sum of etl of tha ditfereM sections of the Comprehensive Plan together, the
more speafic descriptions ot each of the land use d�ignations supports the requested
change. The proposed comprehensive plan amendmeFrt seelcs to change the designation to
aqow mare irttensive land uses arn! those which are attraetrve to vehide servioe and the

Comprehensive Plan Amendmems-Plan Map Amendments and
Policyffext Amendments
However, the praposed amendmerrt is not an expansian of an e�asting Heavy Commeraal
designated ar+ea and would 'mtery'ed a d'rfFererd designation betwesn iwo areas currErrtly
designated as `Light Commercia!' k may be appropriate to re-evaluate this comdcir TFie
Ciry should consider docketing for a possible a future char�ge to the land use designations
along the east side of this corridor This effort would provide an opportunity study and
potentially change a more sign�cant portion of the corridor when impads ean tie assessed
and managed.
15. The second deeision eMberion is that the eomprahensive plan amendment rnusY not
diminlsh or increase the.ability to.Provide adequate services. The propo.sed change by
itsetF, if approved will not affed the ability to provide adequate servic�s. Hoixever, the
change the Comprehensive Plan map; if approved could lead to cumulative appGcations by
other properties in Hie rianity for changes to the land use designation and irdensificaGon of
de++elopmerrt. While public services, such as poliee and fire could like accominodate the
change in land use designation, full public infrastnicture is not currently in place. The Valley
Regional Fire Authority did.not have any commerds in response to the applic�tion. While
there is adequate water (16 inch water main) in A Street SE, the road cantinues�to be two
lanes; it has not been widened in the area of the subjed properties as done in other
segmerrts farther to the north and south and has roadside ditches to provide stortn drainage.
Also, a sewer would have fo be extended to serve the site. However, to require that
infrasVudure as a precursor is not always viable as the City often relies upon developmerrt
to provide the public inirastructure improvemerrts needed to support the dev'slopmerrt as the
developmerrt occurs. Under the curreM �nditions; as with many properties in the city, the
inirastrudure improvemeirts would be the responsibiGty of future development. At the time
of developmeM, adeq�iaffi services would be provided for the development ta be authorized
so it is not�antiapated that approval of the request negadvely affects provision of services.
18.Tha third decision ociterion is tha!the assumptions on whlch the comprehensfve plan
is based are found to be imralid. While not completely irnalid, �e cromprehensive plan
seeks to discourage wmmerciat `strip' developmerrt along cortidors since it can .rasuR iri
negative visual and funetional impacts, balanced with this the Plan rec:ognizes by the
comprehensive plan tfiat the location of commercial services along corridors provides
community benefits. Also, the more spec�c language of the plan as found in the purpose
statemeMs of 1he land use designations for "Ligtrt Commerc,tial° and "Heavy CommerciaP
support the application based on the site's proximity to a heavily traveled arterial.
17 The fourth decision eriterion is that there has been a ehange or laek of cha,nge in
conditions or ciroumstances has occurred since the adopfion of tlis latest
amendment to the comprehensive ptan that dlctates the need for a propoaed
amendment Again, the comprehensive pfan seeks to discourage cornmercial 'ship'
developmert along corridors since it can resuR in negative visual and functienal impacts,
balanced with this, the Plan recognizes that the �OCation of commetGial services along
cortiders provide.a communityr benefits. Also, the more specific language of the pfan as
found in the purpose statemerits of the land use designations•for "Light CommeraaP and
"Heavy Commercial° support the requested change based on the site's proximity to a
heavily traveled arterial street.

Comprehem3ive Plan-AmendmeMS-Plan Map Amendmenffi and
PolicYlfext Amendmer�:
5. The purpose af the comprehensive Plan is to provide a poAcy basis for the future zoning
changes to ensure that the Comprehensive plan and Zoning Ordinance are consisterrt as
required by the following city code sedion:
"ACC 14.22.a50 Conformance and consistency.
The zoning, land divisian and otherdevelopmerrt c�des corrtained or referenced
within Aubum City Code shail be �nsistert with and implement the intent of the
comprehe�ive plan. Capital budget deoisions shall be made in cdiiforiiiAy"with
the comprehensive plan. °
6. The City+cade provitles cerhain criteria for decisions fa�comprehensive plan amendments.
"ACC 14.22.110 Decisioo cr(teria for plan amandmenffi.
A. The. comprehensive plan was developed and adopted aRer signif�caM
study and public partiapation. The principles, goals, otijectives and
poliaes contained therein shaA. be grarrted sttbstantial weight when
considering a proposed amendmerd. Therefone, the burden of proof for
justifying a pmposed amendmerrt rests with the applicant, who must
demonstrate that the r�quest oomplies with and/or retates to the following
decision criteria:
1 The proposed change will further and be wnsisterrt with the goals arid
objectives of the plan and the plam m�ll remain iMemally consister�t;
2. Whether Me capacity to provide adequate services is diminished or
, increased;
3. Assumptions upon which the comprehensive plan is based are found to
be.irnalid;
4 A detertninatian of change or lack of change in condiGons or
circumsffinces has occurted since the adoption of the latest amendment to the
specific section of the comprehensive plan that dictates the neeii fof a proposed
amendmerrt;
5. If applicable, a detertnination that a ques6on of consistency exists
between the wmprehensive plan and Chapter 36.70A RCW, the coun;ywide
planning policies for either King ar�dlor Pierce CouMy, as apptopriabe, anc!Yision
204U: Growth and Tiansportadon Strategy for the Puget Sound Region.°
7 The first eribeNon is that the change must iurther and be consistaM with the goals
arW objectives of the plan and tlre plan wn"il remain ir�temally consistent
Many of the designated special plan areas do not have an established mapped land, use
designation (such as low density residerrtial or LigM Industrial). Essentiafly, tFie rtiap is left
blank (uncolored). The purpose ot the special area plan process is to detertnine the
appropriate land use designation .(and color} to be applied to the properties. The
Comprehensive Plan provides the following general guidance on special area plans:
"Purpose: To allow farge areas within the Ciq+, under a single or a coordinated
managemerd, to be developed as a planned unit. This designation can also 6e used to
provide flexibility when there is uncertaiMy regarding how an area may be 'most
appropriately developed in the future.

Comprehensive Plan AmendmerKS-Plan Map Amendmerrts and
PolicyR'ext Amendments
Deseription: This designadon applies to specific areas ideritified as being appmpriate
far miued, urban level developmertt on a plartned basis. !t �s intended thaY the fuWre
development af these aieas will be guided by individual "elements" or •sutrarea plans•
of the Comprehensive Plan, to be developed ancf aclopted at a later date. The Plan -
elements should be consister�t with the following.
Compatible Uses: Uses artd iritensities .within Speaal Planrring Areas shall be
determinad for each area through irniividual planning processes. Each indrvidual ,
planni,ng prooess wi11 resuft in the adoption of a Comprehensive Plan elemeM (sutrarea
plan) for that partiwlar Special Planning Area. Each Plan element shall be consisteM
with the general goals, objectives and policies of the Compr�ehensive Plan."
In the Gomprehensiva Plan documerd, this general explanation of the purpose of the 5pecial
area plar�s is followed,by a narrative desraiption of each individual speaal plan area.
The proposed Comprehensive Plan text amendmer►ts seek to darify or augmerrt the curreM
description of the• Studc River Road and Mourrt Rainer �sta special plan areas to more
accurately reflect the current circumstances of property ownershlp, mining status and to
provide greater flexibility. in the future preparation of the special area plan, such as
determining appropriate land uses and the amourrt of ctevetopmerK. The changes pmmote
the tuture study to be undertaken as part!he special area ptan documeM development. The
preposed changes are cortsisteM with the overafl Plan.and there will be a need to ensure
that future changes also remain consister�t.
The proposed mau change, as amended by the staff recommendation, also remains
consistent with the comp�ehensive plan. The map change prop�es to make a speaal plan
area lerger to enaompass seven paroeL�that are under the same ownership as a majaity of
fhe parcels within the speaal plan area designadon. Typicatly, the special area plan
preparation takes iMo account the nature and davelopmeM status of surrounding uses. The
change expands the boundaries without affecting cflnsistency. The change increases
coordination of prop�ties under the same oamership.
8. The sacond docision cribarion is that the comprehe�ive plan amendmeM must not
diminish or inerease the a6illty to provide adequata servtcas. The proposal to change
the Comprehensive Plan text and map amerrclmeM is gertetal in nature and does not affed
the ability to provide adequate services.
8. The third decislon criterion is that the assumptions on which the comprehensire plan.
is based are 4ound t� be Irnalid. While not wmpletely irnalid, the proposed
Compreherisive.Plan tezt amendmerrts seelc ta darify or augmerrt the currerrtly description
of these specfic speciat plan areas to more accurately reflect the curreM ciraimstances of
property ovmership, mining stetus and to provide greater flex�ility in the future preparation
of the special area plan, suc�+ as determining appropriate land uses and ,amount of
devetopmerrt. The changes are designed to fadlitate the futurs study to be undertaken as
part the special area ptan doa�ment develapmertt.
The man change also does not affect validity The changes are for the purpose of
increasing the aauracy and providing greatec flexibility. This criterion in this ciralmstance
does not relate well to the arcumstances of this amendmer►t application.

to proyide fle�dbility in land uses and number of dweliings to recognae tlie intxeased

Purpose af increasing tt�e axurecy and providing greater flew'biliry. This criterion does not

11 The flfth declsion criterion is that_the change muat be detemnined to be consiste�rt

Grewth A6anagemerrt Ad (RCW 36.70A), the CouMywide Planning Policies of King County
