Re: City of Pacific
I have revlewed the City of Paafids(COP)2092 budget. This discussioNanelysis is provided
at a high level and is compared to City af Aubum(COA)for general fund revenue and aiy
wide program e enseJspending per capits. This method of ovetview gives insigM into
program/level of service provided by each city. Additionally, I see the COP living within ks
means with modest reserves and is not overextended wfth debt.
Cltv Fund Structure: Attachmerit #1.The City has 26.funds including the generei fund,
speoial revenue funds, LID debt servke funds, capffal proJects funds,four uNlities and a very
small equipmer reaerve fund. The 2012 budget, including fund balance, is approximately
19,530,000 with the general fund comprising$3,762,000 of the total. 2012 baginnir Tund
balance all funds was$4,870,800 with$697,850 belonging to the general fund.
Revenue: General fund revenue for 2012 ts $3,063,245 and total fund revenue is
11,573,900. The aftached Schedule shows general fund revenue by type and per
capita. For comparison purposes I have provided the same analysis for Auburn.
Attachment#2
Overatl general fund revenue per capita in COP is$435 compared to$782 in COA. The
COP has a B&O business tax on gross business fncome that generates approximate
300,000 annuaily or$45 per capita. This tax would not continue to be coilected if there
is an annexation. However, the property tax levy at Aubum's currerrt rate would
generate about$280,000. ThIs levy virould not occur until the 2014 coltection year as the
2013 levy wiil be set this month.

aage as i
AN.1 Page 6 of 196
Debt; As of 12/31/2011, the total COP debt is about$2,500,000 and inciudes $176,000
of compensated absencss. The majority bf the debt is PWfF loans for utility
improVements to water with an outstanding balance of approximateyr $1,700,000. The
balance of debt is LID's ($300,000), capital leases for equipment($60,000), and stortn
water property($154,000). See Attachment#3. Comparing debt per capita between
COP and COA, COP is about$367 end Aubum is about 3.5 times that with over$100
million out.
Exoendttures; Attachment#4 showa expenditures per capita by fund. For comparison
purposes COA expenditure per oapita is dfsplayed. COP expenditure per capita is$576 in
the general fund compared to COA of$880.
OEher: As of 8/31/2012 COP overail cash in hand is$6.6 million. Attachment#b.
Attachment#6 shows property tax and safes tax stats by counry. Of particular note is that
about 1/3 of the property tax revenue and 1/2 of the sales tax revenue is generated'm the
Pierca County portion of the City and the populffiion is 85. i.e. Pierce Gounty revenue
generatian is supporting the King Cour ty porUon where the population is about 6,500.
If COP disincorporates R would revert badc to the prospecdve counties. It Is foreseeable that
Sumner may take over the Pierce Courity area This would leave the butk of the population in
King County with far less revenue.
Concluslon: Your statement that you wanted to eneure that the cifizens of COA would not
subsidizs COP if there was an annexation. From this 6asic review,we can see that the par
capita revenue and experise is less than COA, So ft is aurmised that the level of service is
not commensurate with COA. It should be noted that the debt per capita is. However,should
COP disincorporate and Sumner assumes the Pierce County portion arxi IGng County takes
over the other side,there could be a negatfve impad on COA as it is calied upon to assist the
City on many levels.

IMPLICATIONS OF AN ANNEXATION BY THE CITY OF AUBURN OF THE C N OF PACIFIC
City Attorneys Office
City Clerk's Office
Legal Department
In the short term, there would be some additional work that would need to be genereted in the City
Attorne/s Office (including the Legal Department and the City Clerk's O ce), such as the preparation of
documents,contracts, meeting notices,etc.
In the long term, however, the impacts would probably be no more than is proportional to the
population beirig added to the City of Auburn. The number of public record requests would probably
only increase consistent with that proportional population.
Likewise, it is expected that the number of additional criminal prosecutions, civil cases and other
matters involving the Legal Department would be proportional to the workload generated by or in
support of t6e City's population.
Passport work(handled by the City Clerk's Office)would not be affected by the praposed annexation as
the City Clerk's Office currentiy provides Passport services to residents of Pacific.
In the intermediate impacts, there may be some additional short term work in prosecuting cases that
the City of Auburn would inherit from the City of Pacific Municipal Court and in turn, there would be
some additional work by the Court and support staff as well. On the civil side, we would expect a
considerably increased workload as other department staff ask for our assistance in interpreting existing
contracts, permit applications, or other pending matters such as reviewing Pacific plats to determine
vesting issues and working with Finance outstanding utility billing issues. The Clerk's o ce would also
see a markedly increased workload in the short-to-mid term, as they incorporate Pacific's records into
the Cit s,and deal with outstanding public records requests.
From the standpoint of financial implications to the City Attomey's Office, it is not expected that there
would be a necessary need to add to or supplement the employment resources or in the legal
department, however, if that does not appear consistent with the experience down the road,that couid
be addressed at the time. However, again, no expectation exists of a need to hire someone necessarily
because of,or contemporeneous with,such annexation.

Regulatory Taxes (cities within King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties
only) as reported by AWC in their 2012 Tax and User Fee Survey.

A. Ordinance No. 6421 (Coleman)
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
amending Ordinance No. 6339, the 2011-2012 Biennial Budget
Ordinance as amended by Ordinance No. 6351, Ordinance No. 6352,
Ordinance No. 6362, Ordinance No. 6370, Ordinance No. 6378,
Page 1 of 5
PCD.1 Page 20 of 196
Ordinance No. 6379, Ordinance No. 6400, and Ordinance No. 6410,
authorizing amendment to the City of Auburn 2011-2012 Budget as set
forth in schedule "A" and schedule "B".
Finance Director Shelley Coleman reviewed Ordinance No. 6421,
2011 - 2012 Biennium Budget Amendment No. 9 with Committee. This
amendment will clean up items at the end of this biennium. Finance
Director Coleman provided an overview of revenue and expenditure
items from Schedule “A” and Schedule “B”.
There were no questions from the Committee; Committee was
supportive of Ordinance No. 6421.
B. Financial Options Available to the City of Auburn (Coleman)
The Finance Department will present additional revenue options for
Council discussion and consideration.
Finance Director Coleman provided the Committee with a handout; the
2012 AWC Tax and User Fee Survey showing Municipal Business
Regulatory Taxes, number of employee fees (head tax), and square
footage tax for King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties.
Committee and staff reviewed the Cities of Bellevue's and Kent’s taxes
and fees and how they were calculated.
Committee and staff discussed the four sectors the City can charge a
square footage fee to and a combination of options that could be
implemented.
Committee discussed the difference between the Business Regulatory
Fees and a B&O Tax. Mayor Lewis pointed out that the Municipal
Services Committee requested staff look at a 1% increase on utilities,
taking cable to the maximum 6%, and charging a $20.00 annual car
tab fee to raise additional funds. Mayor Lewis stated Director Coleman
will provide each Councilmember with the totals these increases could
generate after the data is calculated.
Committee and staff discussed the cost of administrating a B&O tax
and other business regulatory fees; Committee concurred the
administrative fees for a B&O tax would be more costly.
Committee and staff discussed the current condition of the arterial
streets and the preservation needed due to their deteriorated
state. Mayor Lewis pointed out that preservation of the arterials would
cost less than rebuilding the roadways. Public Works Director Dowdy
reviewed the Arterial/Collector Street Funding scenarios chart.
Currently the City dedicates 1.5M for the preservation of the arterial
and collector streets annually. At the current rate of funding
Page 2 of 5
PCD.1 Page 21 of 196
deterioration of the roads is occurring faster than repairs can be made;
within five years the average system pavement condition index (PCI)
will be down to 35 if more investment is not done (staff would like the
PCI to be at 70 within 20 years). The investment curve needs to be
increased in order to stabilize the arterial roads. The current annual
investment is $1.5M; staff is requesting a target of 20 years at 6.2M
per year to bring the PCI to 70.
Committee and staff discussed which of the scenarios are
Councilmatic and which require voter approval. A tab fee greater
than $20.00 and Metropolitan Park District require a voter approval; all
other financial options are Councilmatic.
Vice-Chair Partridge suggested the Committee should review the
options provided and put together recommendations or questions for
staff on how to best get to the goal of $5.M in funding.
C. COA Code Update Project, Phase 2 Group 2 - Amendments to Auburn
City Code (Hearing Examiner Chapter) (Wagner)
Senior Planner Stuart Wagner reviewed the Phase 2 Group 2 City of
Auburn Code proposed code updates related to the Hearing
Examiner. The role of the Hearing Examiner, as codified in Auburn
City Code (ACC), goes beyond land use matters. The Hearing
Examiner is also the appeal body on many administrative decisions
such as utility billing disputes, dangerous dog determinations, or
building and code violations but Chapter 18.66 ACC – Hearing
Examiner is only written for the purposes of land use matters. As such,
the Hearing Examiner Chapter is better suited in Title 2 –
Administrative and Personnel where other positions, boards,
committees, and commissions are listed. Committee and staff
reviewed other changes to the chapter recommended by the City's
Legal Department and Hearing Examiner.
Committee was supportive of these changes.
Senior Planner Wagner stated this item will be brought back in
ordinance form for action before going to City Council.
D. 2012 Comprehensive Plan Amendments (Dixon)
Principal Planner Jeff Dixon provided an overview of the proposed
annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments, Planning Commission
recommendations, and the one remaining private map amendment
from the November 20, 2012 hearing (Item CPM #3 (File No. CPA12-
0003).
Committee and staff discussed the Scrivener’s error that was made in
Page 3 of 5
PCD.1 Page 22 of 196
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment #5, CPA07-0002 and City
Ordinance No. 6138 from 2007. The application that was recently
submitted (CPM #3, File No. CPA12-0003) does not involve the
properties that contain the error in its designation, it is adjacent.
Committee discussed the Planning Commission’s recommendations of
denial of CPM #3, File No. CPA12-0003. Principal Planner Dixon
pointed out that reasons for denial from the Planning Commission was
the concern that if the change was made (on this application) from
‘single family residential’ to ‘high density residential’ a continual creep
of property designation may continue to be approved due to the
precedence set in this case. The Planning Commission also cited a
concern of an increase of traffic if approved.
E. Director's Report (Snyder)
There was no director's report.
F. PCDC Matrix (Snyder)
Committee and staff reviewed the matrix. There were no changes or
additions requested.
G. Presentation - Art's Commission Annual Report (Brewer/McKnight)
Arts & Events Manager Julie Brewer and Arts Coordinator Maija
McKnight provided an update on the activities of the Auburn Arts
Commission. The Arts Commission is a 12 member advisory board
working to advance the arts in Auburn with the goal of integrating the
arts into all aspects of community life. Staff highlighted several
programs: performing arts, visual arts, literary arts, and public art.
The show revenue from the September 2011 – July 2012 season was
$104,000.00 serving a total audience of 10,398. The Arts Commission
continues to work cross departmentally to assist with projects and
events.
The Arts Commission continues work to advocate and support local
artists and art organizations expanding many of the current programs
in 2012. This year the Auburn Storefront, Pianos on Parade, Outdoor
Sculpture Gallery, and the Temporary Art Installation programs were a

Adding New Sections 8.08.175, 8.08.182, 8.08.183, 8.08.184,
13.06.355, 13.06.364, 13.06.366, 13.06.438, 13.20.438, 13.20.444,
Page 3 of 13
PW.1 Page 28 of 196
13.20.448, 13.48.085, 13.48.094, 13.48.096, 13.48.098 of the Auburn
City Code Relating to Utility Classifications
Councilmember Peloza moved and Councilmember
Osborne seconded to recommend that City Council introduce and
adopt Ordinance No. 6439, as amended. T
his ordinance was discussed prior to the Resolutions section of the
Agenda.
City Attorney Heid explained that in preparing the Master
Agreement/Provisions for the Municipal Utility Services on Trust Lands
staff determined that a separate class of utility customers must be
generated because the City does not currently have code that
supports separate treatment for non-lienable properties that receive
utility services. A separate class of utility customers was created for
each of the utilities that the City provides. City Attorney Heid stated
that the classes had to be created for each utility individually because
not every customer has all of the utilities.
City Attorney Heid said that included in the Ordinance are
mechanisms for enforcement of the utility bills through a deposit rather
than liens, as discussed at previous Public Works Committee
meetings.
Heid stated that the code update applies to not only the Muckleshoot
Tribal Lands, but also to lands on the reservation owned by native
peoples and federal government property or any other property the
City cannot lien. City Attorney Heid answered questions asked by
Chairman Wagner regarding a termination clause. Heid stated that the
new classes of customers would be permanent until changed by the
City Council and there is no termination clause.
City Attorney Heid addressed questions asked by Vice-Chair Peloza
regarding the waiver of deposit for humanitarian purposes, under the
code. Heid noted that the waiver is for only the deposit and not the
utility billing.
Member Osborne asked if the deposits would need to be collected
from existing federal government customers. City Attorney Heid
responded that the deposit is required from new customers only.
The Committee and City Attorney Heid discussed defining the term
“hardship.”
Finance Director Coleman discussed the existing standards for the
senior, low-income, disabled utility program and recommended
Page 4 of 13
PW.1 Page 29 of 196
applying similar standards to the hardship waiver. The Committee
agreed. City Attorney Heid stated that the same criteria may be used
even if the low-income/disabled status may not be applicable.
Chairman Wagner and Member Osborne asked that it be clarified that
the deposit would be required for new customers only. Finance
Director Coleman noted that the draft policy for administration of non-
lienable accounts does speak about new applications and customers
with accounts not in good standing who move to new accounts. City
Attorney Heid stated that is can be included in the ordinance as well.
Motion Carried Unanimously. 0-0.
IV. RESOLUTIONS
A. Resolution No. 4874 (Mund)
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
Setting a Public Hearing to Consider the Vacation of 2nd Street NE
Between 1st Street NE and 3rd Street NE and the Alley Between 2nd
Street NE and 3rd Street NE, East of E Street NE, within the City of
Auburn, Washington
Councilmember Peloza moved and Councilmember
Osborne seconded to recommend City Council adopt Resolution No.
4874.
Engineering Aide Mund was present. Assistant Director/City Engineer
Selle answered questions asked by Member Osborne regarding the
coordination of termination of utility lines.
Motion Carried Unanimously. 0-0.
B. Resolution No. 4883* (Dowdy)
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
Authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to Enter into a Master
Agreement/Provisions for Municipal Utility Services on Trust Lands
Councilmember Peloza moved and Councilmember
Osborne seconded to recommend City Council adopt Resolution No.
4883, as amended.
The item was discussed prior to Resolution A.
City Attorney Heid noted that there were two issues that were not
clearly endorsed by the attorneys for the tribe that are included in the
agreement, one being the indemnification language which suggested
revisions was going to be provided by the tribe’s attorneys but has not
yet been received by the City. The other issue was language which the
City did not accept regarding the ability for the tribe, on behalf of itself,
Page 5 of 13
PW.1 Page 30 of 196
for its members, to challenge the designation of the storm water utility
versus a tax. The tribe was notified that the City did not accept the
language.
Vice-Chair Peloza noted his hesitation to forward the agreement to the
full Council without the issues noted by City Attorney Heid
resolved. Heid explained that the Council may endorse the agreement,
which may never become operative if not signed by both parties.
City Attorney Heid stated that the resolution had been modified,
adding the language “or designee” to Section I on Page 1, because
under City Code the City Engineer is able to sign these types of
agreements.
Vice-Chair Peloza noted an error in Section II. City Attorney Heid
stated that he will make a correction.
City Attorney Heid explained that the Muckleshoot Tribe has said that
they have relationships with other tribes that would still fall within their
authority, in response to a question asked by Chairman Wagner.
Chairman Wagner asked why residential property is the only type
identified. Heid answered that the specific agreement is for residential
development by the tribe and differs from the ordinance previously
discussed.
Chairman Wagner asked how the reduced deposit will be
calculated. Finance Director Coleman stated she will have guidelines
and a policy developed. City Attorney Heid spoke about a tribal
guarantee of deposits.
Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle answered questions asked by
Chairman Wagner regarding the possible revisions to plans that may
be required on extensions inactive for a period of six months.
Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle responded to questions asked
by Chairman Wagner regarding the Utility Right-of-Way Easement.
City Attorney Heid stated that the Fire Marshall, VRFA, is a necessary
partner in the City’s building code requirements, in response to a
question asked by Vice-Chair Peloza. Heid stated that this agreement
is a standard development agreement used by the City.
Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle said that service area limits
coincide with the City Limits boundary, in response to a question
asked by Member Osborne. City Attorney Heid noted that if the City
Limit boundary were to change the VRFA service area boundary
Page 6 of 13
PW.1 Page 31 of 196
would expand with it and noted that the agreement would only apply to
properties within the City Limits that are provided utility services.
Vice-Chair Peloza asked that all figures in the agreement include a 2-
digit place holder.
Chairman Wagner asked for a definition of “performance period.” City
Attorney Heid suggested changing the language to read, “Through the
term of this agreement.” The Committee agreed.
The Committee and City Attorney Heid agreed to change the language
in Section X from “mutually negotiated” to “mutually agreed.”
Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle explained that part of the fee
developers pay the City helps to cover the cost of construction
inspection, in response to a question asked by Chairman Wagner.
Finance Director Coleman answered questions asked by Chairman
Wagner regarding solid waste service and the requirements for the
tribe if they were to initiate their own solid waste service.
Vice-Chair Peloza asked that the words “of Washington State Law” be
added to the second sentence in Section XX.
City Attorney Heid answered questions asked by Chairman Wagner
regarding Section XXV, Governing Law. Heid pointed out that it is to
the City’s advantage to have any questions of law regarding the City’s
agreements decided in King County Superior Court rather than
Federal Court. The Committee and staff discussed the different
language that has been used in agreements with the tribe in the
past.
Member Osborne asked if the agreement needs to be approved by
any other entity other than the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe. City Attorney
Heid stated that right now the agreement will only go back to the tribe
for approval.
The Committee and staff discussed the addition of a termination
clause.
Member Osborne asked about the addition of inclusion of System
Development Charges (SDCs) in the agreement. Assistant
Director/City Engineer Selle stated specifics about SDCs are stated on
page 12 of the agreement.
Motion Carried Unanimously. 0-0.

V. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Financial Options Available to the City of Auburn (Coleman)
Finance Director Coleman stated that in conjunction with discussion of
the financial options, the Mayor requested that Public Works staff
present a portion of the Transportation Program.
The Committee discussed Discussion Item B.
The Committee reviewed the materials provided by the Finance
Department.
Mayor Lewis discussed the options available to use to generate the
$5M needed to fund the preservation of the arterial and collector
streets. These options include the B&O tax, regulatory license fees,
the Metropolitan Parks District, a combination of B&O, regulatory
license fees, and a $20.00 annual car tab fee for the Transportation
Benefits District. Mayor Lewis answered questions asked by Vice-
Chair Peloza regarding how the regulatory license fees are
calculated.
Chairman Wagner noted a combination of options may be
implemented. The Committee discussed the options used by the City
of Kent.
The Committee reviewed the Local Business Tax Rates (B&O) that
other jurisdictions have instated. Mayor Lewis asked Finance Director
Coleman for a comparison of what other jurisdictions are charging for
regulatory fees.
The Committee and Mayor Lewis discussed the types of businesses
that would be affected if a B&O tax were to be implemented.
Member Osborne asked if the City could make sure any revenue
generated from a B&O tax, regulatory fee, or car tab fee would only be
used to fund a Transportation Benefit District. Mayor Lewis confirmed
that to be correct. Mayor Lewis stated that he feels there should be
two restrictions on any method to raise money, the first being the fund
will go directly into Transportation and the second being if any
equivalent or superior funding source is approved in the future, the tax
and/or fees will sunset. The Committee agreed. The Committee and
Mayor Lewis discussed when and how the sunset would work.
The Committee and staff reviewed the changes to long-term
liabilities. Mayor Lewis, the Committee, and Finance Director Coleman
discussed future bonding debt.
Page 8 of 13
PW.1 Page 33 of 196
Finance Director Coleman stated that before any debt is issued that is
not voter approved; a funding stream should be identified to make
repayment. Coleman pointed out that long-term leases go against the
City’s debt capacity.
The Committee and staff reviewed the Utility Tax Rates on Inside City
Utilities spreadsheet.
B. Arterial Street Preservation Needs (Para/Wickstrom)
Transportation Manager Para distributed a handout outlining the
Arterial/Collector Street Funding Scenarios, a map showing the
remaining arterial and collector street work in the current program and
a map showing the projected pavement condition in 5 years without
additional funding.
Director Dowdy explained that the handout covers what the City’s
estimated 5 year needs would be and the cost of bringing the system
back to a PCI of 70 over a ten year period and the revenue needed to
bring the system back to a PCI of 70 over a twenty year period.
Transportation Manager Para stated that the $6.2M per year funding
will bring the system back to a PCI of 70 in approximately twenty years
and $6.7M per year funding will bring it back in approximately ten
years, in response to a question asked by Chairman Wagner.
Director Dowdy said that if the City receives no additional funding a
good part of the streets needing patching and/or a thick overlay will
need to be rebuilt and the streets needing a thick overlay will need
pavement patching.
Mayor Lewis spoke about various measures other jurisdictions are
taking to try and cover cost of maintaining their street systems.
The Committee and staff discussed the cost of various pavement
treatments. Director Dowdy reported that the cost of chipseal is
approximately $12.00 per square yard and a thick overlay is
approximately $35.00 per square yard. Mayor Lewis pointed out that
there will be a decreased opportunity to treat the roadways with
chipseal and overlays over the next five years. Director Dowdy stated
that in the valley, the cost of a rebuild can reach $185.00 - $200.00 per
square yard and on the hillside the cost is approximately $100.00 per
square yard.
Chairman Wagner asked staff to prepare a document that lists the cost
of pavement treatments and some examples of completed
projects. Mayor Lewis asked for cost estimates to be added to the
maps.

F. System Development Charge Review (Repp/Chaw)
Utilities Engineer Repp provided the Committee with an overview of
System Development Charges (SDCs) presentation.
Utilities Engineer Repp discussed the options available for the next
steps regarding SDCs. The options that are available to the
Committee are leaving the SDCs in the current state, change the Page 10 of 13
PW.1 Page 35 of 196
SDCs in relation to what other similar utilities use, or staff can perform
a detailed analysis looking at the SDCs and how they relate to the
City’s existing infrastructure and capacity related capital projects.
Chairman Wagner discussed the benefits of subsidizing
growth. Chairman Wagner pointed out that there has not been
analysis done on how much the City gets from REET, how much the
City gets in new roads, and other benefits, or an effort to analyze if
“growth pays for growth.”
Chairman Wagner pointed out that some jurisdictions do not apply
SDCs for all of their utilities. Member Osborne spoke about comparing
the cost of building a home in the City versus other
jurisdictions. Chairman Wagner pointed out that there are several
different types of developments that could be examined, such as
warehouses or other businesses, in trying to determine the benefits
that the City gets from growth, and such an analysis would be time
consuming.
Chairman Wagner requested an analysis detailing all of the costs
associated with building a home, all of the fees, all of the SDCs, all of
the hook-ups, and all of the other fees charged to a developer or home
builder, to be reviewed in approximately a month. Chairman Wagner
asked that notes regarding what other jurisdictions charge be
included. Utilities Engineer Repp spoke about some of the difficulties
in comparing development costs between jurisdictions. Chairman
Wagner suggested that for any jurisdiction where a comparison is not
feasible, to make note of it, “not comparable.”
Utilities Engineer Repp explained that staff is recommending that the
analysis of SDCs be performed according to industry standards and
use the City’s capital projects and plant worth. Chairman Wagner
asked for the City’s current asset worth and the City’s capital facilities
plan is to determine what percentage of the SDC pays for “buying in”
and what percentage pays for new growth and replacement. Chairman
Wagner stated the Committee needs to get a context for how much
contribution the SDCs make to the capital budgets of each utility as
compared to the rate payers bond debt for the utilities.
Chairman Wagner also would like the Committee to review of lieu of
payments and lieu of assessments, administrative procedures for
crediting SDCs, waiving SDCs and another processes that affect the
SDCs.
Utilities Engineer Repp answered that there is no annual rate increase
for the SDCs, in response to a question asked by Member Osborne.
Vice-Chair Peloza requested that yearly review of the SDCs be added
Page 11 of 13
PW.1 Page 36 of 196
to the Action Matrix. The Committee agreed.
Utilities Engineer Repp stated that staff may need assistance from a
consultant to complete the analysis. Utilities Engineer Repp suggested
that staff return to the Committee with preliminary scope of items and
work that will be needed. Chairman Wagner agreed.
Chairman Wagner asked if there is a template that is used to calculate
SDCs credits the Committee can review. Financial Planning Manager
Chaw stated that there is no template because the credits depend on
the community and what the priorities are. Chaw explained some of
the benefits of having a lower SDC to be an incentive for economic
development.
The Committee determined the cost of new water supply should be
included.
Chairman Wagner stated that staff should establish a separate rate
class for satellite systems. The Committee agreed.
G. Capital Project Status Report (Gaub)
Item 9 – CP207A – A Street NW Corridor – Phase 1: Director Dowdy
stated that there will be an Executive Session held at the Council
Meeting to review agreements, in response to a question asked by
Chairman Wagner.
Item 14 – C524A – SCADA System Improvements: Chairman Wagner
asked if the project will be finished in December 2012. Assistant City
Engineer Gaub answered that it will not, the project will extend into
2013.
Assistant City Engineer Gaub reported that the three test sites are up
and running and staff is working through minor issues so that as the
rest of the sites come online, the transition will go smoothly.
Chairman Wagner asked if the project will remain under
budget. Assistant City Engineer Gaub answered that there have been
some change orders, but over all the project is generally under budget
at this point.
Item 15 – C201A – M Street Underpass Project: Assistant City
Engineer Gaub reported that there are some delays due to weather
and delivery of the bridges so the road opening will likely be in March
or April and completion of all construction will likely be in July, in
response to a question asked by Chairman Wagner.
Assistant City Engineer Gaub reviewed how the railway tracks will be
Page 12 of 13
PW.1 Page 37 of 196
raised, in response to a question asked by Member Osborne.
H. Action Tracking Matrix (Dowdy)

and to add yearly review of the SDCs.

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council grant permission to enter into Consultant Agreement No. AG-C-428 with
Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. for engineering services for Project No. CP1224, 2013
Local Street Pavement Reconstruction project.
Background Summary:
The 2013 Local Street Pavement Reconstruction project will reconstruct 0.7 miles of
local streets (shown on the attached map) as part of the 2013 Save Our Streets (SOS)
program. This work is funded by the 103 (Local Street) Fund. Storm drainage
improvements will also be constructed on the project streets to address local storm
drainage issues. This work is funded by the 103 (Local Street) Fund. The 432 (Strom
Drainage) fund will pay for the design work necessary to connect the new storm drainage
improvements to existing storm drainage transmission lines.
This project will also replace deteriorated and undersized water mains and replace a
sanitary sewer line as shown on the attached map. This work will be funded by the 430
(Water) Fund and 431 (Sewer) Fund respectively.
The 430 fund will also pay for the street restoration improvements on V St SE between
3rd Ct SE and 4th St SE. This section of V St SE is in good condition and not part of the
scope of the 2013 Save Our Streets program. V St SE between 2nd St SE and 3rd Ct SE
is currently scheduled to be chipsealed as part of the 2013 SOS Program. This chipseal
work will be complete under a separate project and paid for by the 103 fund. This work
on V St SE is contingent on the available budget in the 430 (Water) fund. See attached
map for more detail.
City staff has selected Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. to provide design services for the
above-reference project. The Not-to-be-Exceeded amount for this agreement is
$266,300.

To: City Council
From: Shelley Coleman, Finance Director
CC: Pete Lewis, Mayor
Date: November 14, 2012
Re: Ordinance #6421 – 2011-2012 Budget Amendment #9
This amendment is the fourth budget amendment for 2012 and the ninth budget amendment for the 2011-
2012 biennium. Proposed amendments to the 2012 budget are as follows:
Transportation project funds
This item budgets funding received for the M Street project and Auburn Way South sidewalk improvements.
The City received a Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board grant ($377,500) and a loan from the
Washington State Public Works Trust Fund ($1.0 million) for the M Street Project and also received a grant
from the Washington State Department of Transportation, Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety program ($35,500)
for sidewalk improvements on Auburn Way South.
Water Utility project funds
This item adjusts the project budgets for several projects in the water utility consistent with the rate study as
approved by Council. These projects include water utility projects associated with street utility improvements;
water repair and replacements; water meter and billing improvements; and well 4 power and chlorination
improvements.
Flood control barrier removal
This item reflects $1.2 million in funding received by the King County Flood Control District to finance the
removal of flood control barriers along the Green River. Funding is administered within the Stormwater Utility.
Removal of the barriers is underway and nearly complete. The project is expected to be fully completed by
the end of 2012. This project is fully funded by proceeds from the District.
Household hazardous waste fees
This item reflects $30,000 in additional revenues collected as a result of a fee increase by King County and
additional solid waste customers. The HHW fee is a King County fee that is included in monthly billings for
solid waste services. Revenue collected is remitted quarterly to King County for operation of their HHW
program, including the Hazardous Waste Mobile.
Facility repairs and maintenance
This item budgets $45,000 for additional and unanticipated repairs at various city facilities. This
includes paint, siding repairs, and asbestos removal at the AVHS facility, repairs and carpet
replacement at the caretaker facility at Mary Olson Farm, and miscellaneous repairs such as
replacement of windows due to vandalism at the Senior Center.
ORD.A Page 70 of 196
FEMA Reimbursement
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has completed processing the City’s claims for costs
related to the January 2012 winter storm. Funding to reimburse City costs is recognized in the amount
of $309,270 and is included in several departments of the City, including the General Fund (Park s,
Public Works/Emergency Management, Streets, Police and Planning/Human Services), Utilities
(Water, Sewer, Stormwater), Cemetery Fund, Facilities Fund and Innovation and Technology Fund.
Utility bond projects
In 2010, the City issued utility bonds for the construction of major utility system improvements in the
Water, Sewer and Stormwater utilities1. Per staff discussion with City Bond Counsel, bond funding
may be reallocated between projects as long as the projects are within the same utility. This item will
reallocate $464,000 from the White River Pump Station project (savings due to lower than anticipated
construction costs) to the Well 1 Storm Improvements project. Both projects are within the stormwater
utility.
Redflex expenditure changes (technical correction)
This is a technical correction and reduces expenses related to the reduction of Redflex revenues that
was authorized in budget amendment #8 (Ordinance #6410). The original amendment reduced ending
fund balance when it should be been to budgeted expenses related to the administration of the Redflex
program.
The following table summarizes the current and revised budget as a result of this amendment.

FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. Kathryn Cruze has applied for a rezone from R-7 Residential (7 du/acre) to RO, Residential
Office, for property located at 105 M Street NE, Auburn, WA.
2. The rezone site at 105 M Street NE is approximately 12,095 square feet in size and contains an
existing single family residence, detached garage, and cottage. The site is a corner lot with M
Street NE to the east and 1st Street NE to the south.
3. The land use designation on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, which is adopted as part of
the Comprehensive Plan, for the subject property is Office Residential.
4. The applicant filed an environmental checklist that addressed the proposed rezone. A description
of future development of the property was included. The applicant proposes to covert the existing
single family residence and cottage into a professional office.
5. The RO, Residential Office, zoning district permits professional offices outright (see ACC
18.22.020). The intent of the RO zone is:
“RO and RO-H zone is intended primarily to accommodate small-scale business and
professional offices, medical and dental clinics, 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.”
6. The RO zone development standards including setbacks and lot requirements are contained in
ACC 18.22.040.
7. Pursuant to ACC 18.68.030 and 18.68.040, all applications for a rezone shall be reviewed by the
planning director prior to the scheduling of a public hearing. After review of the application, the
director shall determine which of the following two processes should occur to properly hear the
rezone:
a. If the rezone is consistent with the comprehensive plan, then the hearing examiner shall
conduct a public hearing on the rezone and make a recommendation to the city council
pursuant to ACC 18.66.170.
This application is consistent with the comprehensive plan, as outlined below in the conclusions.
8. On October 11, 2012, the SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination of Non-Significance
(DNS) for the proposed rezone from R-7 Residential (7 du/acre) to RO (Residential Office).
There were no comments received, comment period closed on October 26, 2012, and no appeals
filed as of the writing of this report. The appeal period ends on November 9, 2012 (Exhibit 5).
9. Pursuant to ACC 18.68.040, notice of a public hearing shall be given at least 10 days prior to the
public hearing and in accordance with ACC 14.07.040. The public hearing notice was published
in the Seattle Times on October 23, 2012, provided to the property owners within 300 feet of the
subject site, posted on the subject property meeting this requirement, and posted on the City’s
website (Exhibit 7).
10. The City Council changed their role in quasi-judicial approvals giving that authority to Hearing
Examiner to make decisions. Since rezones are approved by Ordinance the City Council is still
ORD.C Page 94 of 196
Agenda Subject: Ordinance No. 6443 REZ12-0005 – Cruze Rezone
Date: November 19, 2012
Page 4 of 5
the decision maker on rezones with the Hearing Exam iner making a recommendation on the
proposal.
11. M Street NE is a principal arterial and 1st Street NE is a local residential street. The road
classifications supports the rezone request. Pursuant to Auburn Design Standards Section
10.04.4 direct access to M Street NE would be prohibited. Site access would be required to
remain on 1st Street NE. This requirement will be addressed as part of the building permit review.
The site plan (Exhibit 4) shows access to 1st Street NE.
12. The City of Auburn Hearing Examiner held a duly noticed public hearing on November 13, 2012
related to this rezone request.
CONCLUSIONS:
ACC Chapter 18.68 provides certain criteria for approval of a rezone:
1. The rezone must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Comment
Policy LU-48: The management of areas in transition from existing residences to a planned non-
residential use, should balance the needs of existing residents with the need to accommodate new
uses.
Chapter 14: Office-Residential Land Use Designation
The purpose of the Office-Residential designation is to reserve areas to accommodate professional
offices for expanding medical and business services, while providing a transition between residential
uses and more intensive uses and activities.
The applicant submitted for a rezone on September 14, 2012. The subject site is currently zoned R-7
Residential (7 du/acre) but has a land use designation of Residential Office which would allow a
rezone to RO, Residential Office. In researching the land use history for the subject site, the M Street
corridor between 8th Street NE and East Main Street has been designated Residential Office at least
since 2006.
The proposed rezone is consistent with the above excerpts from the Comprehensive Plan as the
zoning would change to Residential Office bringing the subject property into consistency with the land
use designation. The future use of the site will be for a professional office utilizing the existing
structure on –site meeting the purpose of the Office-Residential land use designation and maintaining
the character of the neighborhood.
2. The rezone must be initiated by someone other than the City in order for the Hearing Examiner
to consider the request.
Comment
The rezone has been initiated by the property owner, Kathryn Cruze, who is also the applicant.
3. Any changes or modifications to a rezone request made by either the Hearing Examiner or
City Council will not result in a more intense zone than the one requested.

the Hearing Examiner's recommendation outlined below•
Ordinance No. 6443
November 27, 2012
Page 2
ORD.C Page 98 of 196
FINDINGS OF FACT
Procedural:
1 Aaalicant. The Applicant is Kathryn Cruze.
2. Hearina. The Hearing Examiner conducted a hearing on the application
at 6:45 p.m. at the City Council chambers at Aubum City Hall Annex on ctober 13,
2012.
Substantive:
3. Site/Proposal Descriation. The Applicant has requested a rezone of one
parcel with an area of 12,095 square feet located at 105 M Street NE from R-7,
Residential seven dwelling units per acre, to RO, Residential Office. The rezone is
necessary to make the zoning map designation consistent with the residential office
comprehensive plan map designation fo the parcels.
4 Characteristics of the Area. The subject property is adjoined by property
zoned R-7 residential to the west, north and east. The property immediately south is
zoned CN, Neighborhood Commercial. On either side of the neighborhood
commercial parcels are properties zoned Residential Office. The subject is
surrounded by single family residential development on all but the south side. The
property to the south is developed with a grocery store and drug store. The subject
property is part of the M Street corridor befinreen 8" Street NE and East Main Street
which has had a comprehensive plant land use designation of Residential Office
since 2006, though the zoning has not been changed from R-7 in this area.
5. Adverse Imoacts. There are no sign cant adverse impacts associated
with the proposal. Compatibility with adjoining land uses is the only issue of concern
at this stage of project review. Property on all sides is zoned for uses with about
the same level of intensiry as those contemplated in the Residential Office District.
The Applicant proposes to convert the existing single family residence and cottage
into a professional o ce. The existing residential style buildings will remain on the
property The purpose of the Residential Office zone is to accommodate small-scale
business and professional offices, medical and dental clinics, banks and similar
financial institutions at locations where they are compatible with residential uses and
in areas that are already in transition from residential to commercial uses along
arterials, such as the M Street corridor This zoning designation is specifrcally
appropriate in circumstances like the subject property's where 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 oharacter

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Procedural:
1 Authorfir of Hearina 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 Ciry Council if the ,planning director determines that the
rezone requests are 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
Residential Office, which is consistent with the requested RO zoning map
designation.
Substantiva:
2. Zonina Desianation. The property is currerrtly zoned R-7
3. Case Law Review Criteria and Aoalication. 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 substarrtially changed since the original showing and
that the rezone must. bear a substantial relationship to the public health, safety,
morals or welfare. See Ahmann-Yari ane, 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. !d. 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
Residential Office and the cuRent R-7 zoning is inconsistent with that designation.
As discussed at page 4 of the Staff Report, the rezone is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan because it provides a transitional use from existing residences
to planned non-residential use and balances the needs of existing residences with
the need to accommodate new uses (Policy LU-48). The proposed rezone is
consistent with Chapter 14 of the Comprehensive Plan as the zoning would change
to Residential Office bringing the subject property into consistency with the land use
designation. The future use of the site will be for a professional office utilizing the
existing structure on —site meeting the purpose of the Office-Residential land use
designation and maintaining the character of the neighborhood. The Staff Report's
comprehensive plan analysis located at page 4 is adopted and incorporated by this
reference as if set forth in full.
The rezone bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, morals and
welfare because it will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts as
Ordinance No. 6443

determined in Finding of Fact No. 5 while at the same time furthering economic

FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. Kathryn Cruze has applied for a rezone from R-7 Residential (7 du/acre) to RO, Residential
Office, for property located at 105 M Street NE, Auburn, WA.
2. The rezone site at 105 M Street NE is approximately 12,095 square feet in size and contains an
existing single family residence, detached garage, and cottage. The site is a corner lot with M
Street NE to the east and 1st Street NE to the south.
3. The land use designation on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, which is adopted as part of
the Comprehensive Plan, for the subject property is Office Residential.
4. The applicant filed an environmental checklist that addressed the proposed rezone. A description
of future development of the property was included. The applicant proposes to covert the existing
single family residence and cottage into a professional office.
5. The RO, Residential Office, zoning district permits professional offices outright (see ACC
18.22.020). The intent of the RO zone is:
“RO and RO-H zone is intended primarily to accommodate small-scale business and
professional offices, medical and dental clinics, 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.”
6. The RO zone development standards including setbacks and lot requirements are contained in
ACC 18.22.040.
7. Pursuant to ACC 18.68.030 and 18.68.040, all applications for a rezone shall be reviewed by the
planning director prior to the scheduling of a public hearing. After review of the application, the
director shall determine which of the following two processes should occur to properly hear the
rezone:
a. If the rezone is consistent with the comprehensive plan, then the hearing examiner shall
conduct a public hearing on the rezone and make a recommendation to the city council
pursuant to ACC 18.66.170.
This application is consistent with the comprehensive plan, as outlined below in the conclusions.
8. On October 11, 2012, the SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination of Non-Significance
(DNS) for the proposed rezone from R-7 Residential (7 du/acre) to RO (Residential Office).
There were no comments received, comment period closed on October 26, 2012, and no appeals
filed as of the writing of this report. The appeal period ends on November 9, 2012 (Exhibit 5).
9. Pursuant to ACC 18.68.040, notice of a public hearing shall be given at least 10 days prior to the
public hearing and in accordance with ACC 14.07.040. The public hearing notice was published
in the Seattle Times on October 23, 2012, provided to the property owners within 300 feet of the
subject site, posted on the subject property meeting this requirement, and posted on the City’s
website (Exhibit 7).
10. The City Council changed their role in quasi-judicial approvals giving that authority to Hearing
Examiner to make decisions. Since rezones are approved by Ordinance the City Council is still
ORD.C Page 105 of 196
Agenda Subject: REZ12-0005 – Cruze Rezone
Date: October 31, 2012
Page 4 of 5
the decision maker on rezones with the Hearing Examiner making a recommendation on the
proposal.
11. M Street NE is a principal arterial and 1st Street NE is a local residential street. The road
classifications supports the rezone request. Pursuant to Auburn Design Standards Section
10.04.4 direct access to M Street NE would be prohibited. Site access would be required to
remain on 1st Street NE. This requirement will be addressed as part of the building permit review.
The site plan (Exhibit 4) shows access to 1st Street NE.
CONCLUSIONS:
ACC Chapter 18.68 provides certain criteria for approval of a rezone:
1. The rezone must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Comment
Policy LU-48: The management of areas in transition from existing residences to a planned non-
residential use, should balance the needs of existing residents with the need to accommodate new
uses.
Chapter 14: Office-Residential Land Use Designation
The purpose of the Office-Residential designation is to reserve areas to accommodate professional
offices for expanding medical and business services, while providing a transition between residential
uses and more intensive uses and activities.
The applicant submitted for a rezone on September 14, 2012. The subject site is currently zoned R-7
Residential (7 du/acre) but has a land use designation of Residential Office which would allow a
rezone to RO, Residential Office. In researching the land use history for the subject site, the M Street
corridor between 8th Street NE and East Main Street has been designated Residential Office at least
since 2006.
The proposed rezone is consistent with the above excerpts from the Comprehensive Plan as the
zoning would change to Residential Office bringing the subject property into consistency with the land
use designation. The future use of the site will be for a professional office utilizing the existing
structure on –site meeting the purpose of the Office-Residential land use designation and maintaining
the character of the neighborhood.
2. The rezone must be initiated by someone other than the City in order for the Hearing Examiner
to consider the request.
Comment
The rezone has been initiated by the property owner, Kathryn Cruze, who is also the applicant.
3. Any changes or modifications to a rezone request made by either the Hearing Examiner or
City Council will not result in a more intense zone than the one requested.
Comment
The requested rezone change, from R-7 Residential (7 du/acre) to RO, Residential Office, will not
result in a more intense zone than what is requested.

The comprehensive plan of the City of Auburn desi iates this property for future use as
professional office space. The rezone of the above property is consistent with the
comprehensive plan.
The conveision of tlus su le family home and cottage to a pirofessional office space will

properly, tUe water and sewer use will be decreased The risk of fire wil] be decreased as
this wil( be a no smoking building and tliere will not be cooking for family meals. There
wili no parties (i.e. alcoho]/drug consumption)which will decrease the likelihood of
police pratection needed.

5UPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NON-PROJECT ACTIONS
Do not use this sheet for project action)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements
of the environment.
When answrering these questfons, be aware of the e ent of the proposal, or the types of activities likely to result from
the proposal that would affect the item at a greater intensily or at a faster rate than if the proposai were not
implemeMed. Respond briefly and in general terms.
1 How would the proposal be Ifkely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, storage, or
refease of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noisel
The proposal is not likely to increase discharge to water,emfssions to air, or release/store hazardous
substances or a production of noise. The proposal is to rezone a single parcel that Ia approximately 12,000
square feet from R-7 Residential, 7 du/acre, to RO, Reaidential Office. If the rezone is successful then the
existing single famtly residence wili be converted to a professional office.
A. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
i
My additionai impervious surFaces and resuiting storm water for the walkways will be iniiltrated and
meet the City's requirements.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The proposal is not likely to affect plants, animais,fish, or marine life. The Green River is not within 200
feet of the subJect property and Is approximately'/.mile awray. The proposal does include removal of one
exisfing hee for the on-sfte parking space that is required. I
A. Proposecl measures to proted or consenre plants, animals,fish, or marine life are:
Additional plantings are proposed to include.native piants, perennials, and annuals. The inteM is maiMain
the single family residemial charecter of the propeRy.
3. How would the proposal be Iikely to deplete energy or natural resources?
The proposal would not deplete energy or natural resourses. The subject property has an existing single
family horrme and the proposal is to convert that structure to a profeasional office. The professionai offlce
will likely use less energy as the business Is open standard hours of 8-5pm.
A. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
See response above.
4. How would the proposal be Ifkety to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated(or
eligible or under study)far governmerrtal protection;such as parks,wildemess,wild arttl scenic rivers,
threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetiands, floodplains, or prime
farmlands7
The proposal will not use or affect environmentaliy sensitive areas. There are no sensitive areas on the
subject property or within the vicinity ot the property.
A. Proposed measures to protect such resources or W avoid or reduce impacts are:
10
ORD.C Page 133 of 196
Environmental Chedclist(Corrtinue. TO k. :.OMPLETED BY APPLICANT
There are no measures proposed to protect such resources as resources will not be impacted.
5. How would the proposal be likefy to aifect land and shoreline use, including whether it would aliow or
encourage land or shorellne uses incompatible with existing plansl
The proposal is not likely to affect land and shoreline use. The Green River shoreline area is
approximately'/.miles from the subject site. There is minimal new impervious surfaces proposed within
the project, sidewalks and new walkways to the building entrance.
A. Proposed measiares to avoid or reduce shorelfne and land use Impacts are:
Any new impervious surfaces and the resulting storm water will be addressed through the City's
stormwater design marival.
6. How would the proposal be likety to fncrease demands on transportation or pubiic services and utilities?
The proposal wili Iikely not increase demands on public services. The proposal may slightly increase
transportation and utilitles as the existing single family residence will be converted to a professional office.
A. Proposed rneesures to reduce or respond to such demand(s)are:
The proposal will be required to pay additional system development charges ff additional water fixtures iareinstalledaspartoftheconversion. The proJect wili not requlre additEonal traffic impact fees as the
proposed professional office Is a less rate than a single famiiy home so there is a credit on the properry.
i
7 Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conilict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for
the protection of the environment. i
To my knowledge the proposal will not cor flict wlth local, state, or federal laws or requirements for the j
protection of the environment.

2. Air
The proposal is a non-project action; however, short-term impacts on air quality could occur
during site preparation and paving operations. Construction adivity, including the hauling of
construction mffierials will coMribute to short-term increases in local suspended particulate
levels. These impacts wili be controlled through watering the site as necessary Street
cleaning in accordance with the City's Desian and Construction Standards manual will also
lessen these impacts.
Minimizing the increased levels of suspended particulates is a priority of the City The City shall
consider measures that will keep the levels of on-site and off-site dust emissions at acceptable

2 3. SiteJProposal Description The Applicant has requested a rewne of one
parcel with an area of 12,095 square feet located at 105 M Sheet NE fmm R-7,
3 Residential seven dwelling vnits per acre, m RO, Residential O1'#ice. The rezone is
necessary to make the wping map designation consistent with the residential office
4 comprehensive pian map designation for the parcels.
5 4. Characteristics of the Area. The subject property is adjoined by property
6 wned R-7 residential m the west, north and east. The properiy immediately south is
zoned CN, Neighborhood CommeroiaL On either side of the neighborhood
7 commercia! parcels are properties wned Residential Office. The subject is
surrounded by singte family residenUal development on aIl but the south side. The
g property to the south is developed with a grocery store and drug store. The subject
9 property is part of the M Street corridor between 8°i Street NE and East Main Street
wluch has had a comprehensive plant land use designarion of Residential Offce since
2005,though the zoning has aot been changed from R-7 in this area.
I1 5. Adverse impacts. There sre no siguificant adverse impacts associated
with tlu propossl. Compah'bility with adjoining land uses is the only issue of concern
2 at tlris stage of project review. Property on all sides is zoned for uses with about the
13 Level of intensity as those comemplated in the Residential Office District. The
Appiicant proposes to convert the existing single fa nily residence and cottuge into a
14 Professional office. The existing residential style buildings will remain on the
property The purpose of the Residential Office zone is to accommodate small-scale
15 business and professional offices, medical end dental clinics, banks and similar i
financial institutions at locations where they are compad'ble with residential uses and
16 in areas that are already in transition from residentiel to coaunercial uses along
arterials, such as the M Street corridor. Ttiis zoning designarion is specifically
appropriate in circumstances like the subject property's wheie comersion of
1 g residential uses to commercial uses is geared towards encouragiag adaptive re-use of i
exisdng single-family structures that continue to appear in accord with the single-
19 family residential charncter.

21 CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
i
22 Procedural: i
23 1. Authority of Hearing Examiner. ACC 18.68.030(B)(l)(a) grants the Hearing
24 Examiner with the authority to review and make a rxommendation on rezone requests
to the Ciry Council if the planning director deteimines that the rezone requesta are
25 istent with the comprehensive plan. The planning director has determined t6et the
rezone reqaest is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map designstion for We subject property is Itesidential Office, which is
consistent with the requested RO zoning map designation.
Rezone p. 2 Findings, Conclusions and Decision
ORD.C Page 146 of 196
i
Substantive:
2
2. Zoning Desianation. The property is currently zoned R-7
3
3. Case Law Review Criteria and Application. The Aubum City Code does
4 not include any criteria for rezoae applications. Washington appellate courts tiave
5 imposed some rezone criteria, requiring that the proponents of a rewne must establish
thst conditions have substantially changed since the original showing and that the
6 rezone must bear a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, morals or
welfare. See .4hmann-Yamane, LLC v. Tabler, 105 Wn. App. 103, 1 I 1 (2001). If a
7 rewne implements the Comprehensive Pian,, a showing that a change of
circumstances has occurred is not required. !d. at 112.i8
9
The proposed rezone clearly meets the judicial criteria for a rezone. There is no I
question that the proposal is.necessary to implement the wmprehensive plan, as the ; I
10 Comprehensive Land Use Map designstion for the property is currently Residential
Office and the current R-7 zoning is inconsistent with that designation. As discussed
1 I at page 4 of the Staff Report, the zorie is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
because it provides a transitional use from existing residences to planned non-
12 residential use and balances the needs of existing residences with the need to
13 accommodate new uses (Policy LU-48). The proposed rezone is consisteut with
Chapter 14 of the Comprehensive Plan as the zoning would change to Residential
14 Office bringing t6e subject property into consistency with the land use designation.
The future use of the site will be for a professional office utilizing the existing
15 stnicture on—site meeting the purpose of the Oftice-Residential lartd use designation
and maintaining the character of tl e neighborhood.'Che Staff Report's comprehensive
16 p ysis located.at page 4 is adopted and incorporated by this reference as if set
17
forth in full.
1 g The rezone bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, morals and
welfare because it will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts as
19 iletermined in Finding of Fact No. 5 while at the same time_furthering economic
20
development in the Ciry of Aubura as encouraged by the City's compre};ensive plan. i

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY OF AUBURN COUNCIL MEMBERS, FINANCE COMMITTEE, AND
COMMUNITY & PLANNING DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
FROM: AUBURN AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
SUBJECT: SERVICES AGREEMENT UPDATE/CONTRACT RENEWAL – VISITOR
INFORMATION CENTER, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & TOURISM
DATE: 11/6/12
CC: AUBURN AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dear City Council Members,
Thank you for this opportunity to present you with an end-of-the-year report identifying
some of the highlights of the services the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased
to have provided the City pursuant to our contract for services.
As you know, these services assist the City by supplementing its efforts with regard to
Visitor/Tourism Information, the City's Economic Development Goals and Outreach to
Current and Future Business Community Members in ways that leverage the credibility,
experience and resources of the Chamber.
While there is some overlap, I have organized this summary to encompass the general
scope of services in the referenced contract, as follows:
SERVE AS AUBURN’S VISITOR INFORMATION CENTER:
Handle inquiries made by visitors, new residents and employees via phone, email,
mail, walk-in and respond with the appropriate information and materials; Operate
the City's storefront Visitor Information Center where visitors obtain materials and
advice during normal business hours. The center will provide sufficient space,
display racks, appropriate materials and receptionist.
Consistent with the terms of the contract for services, the Chamber maintains and
operates Auburn's Visitor Information Center where people know to seek out the
Chamber as the first point of contact, whether a visitor, existing resident or new resident,
existing business or prospective business, to obtain a wide variety of materials and
advice.
The Chamber-operated Visitor Information Center dominates the entire front portion of
the Chamber’s Lobby, with easy visibility & access from the street. It includes large
display racks stocked with varied and valuable visitor-related materials.
RES.A Page 161 of 196
2 | Page
The Visitor Information Center signage on the storefront is a large banner across the first
three windows to loudly state “Visitor Information Center”; and with a larger window
sign that boldly lists Auburn Tourism as one of the main components in our office and
offers the universal “I” symbol denoting an information center is located here.
With each walk-in, visitors and prospective businesses are able to take multiple pieces of
information that the Chamber provides. It is often their first point of contact in our
community. When we mail out relocation and/or vacation packets, a variety of
information is sent, including information about the City of Auburn, parks & recreation,
public art, the golf course, trails, etc., as well as Auburn businesses and visitor services.
The valuable contribution the Chamber is uniquely able to provide in its contract with the
City, is our ability to staff the Visitor Information Center with employees having
extensive personal knowledge of the greater Auburn area, and a genuine desire to
promote the City of Auburn.
With the finished construction for the Division Street Promenade, we have seen a greater
increase in the amount of walk-ins; especially this past summer where we saw a 90%
increase of individuals relocating to Auburn from other states.
Produce and distribute the City business directory, community profile, street maps,
and lists containing information about community resources and/or business
services. Respond to requests from publishers seeking information about Auburn
for their magazines, web pages and/or directories. Provide City hotels with
brochures promoting local attractions, businesses and shops.
New this year, the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce produces a Community
Directory each month, with the most up-to-date information. So far this year we have
distributed approximately 5,000 directories. We have found that our new approach to
printing the directories on an as-needed basis has helped our newest businesses get the
most exposure right away. We currently distribute these Community Directories to:
City Hall
Member advertisers for use with prospective and current customers and firms
Auburn Library
Muckleshoot Library
Senior Center
Parks & Rec Building
Auburn Airport
Local Hotels
Small Business Assistance Center
Green River Community College
The SuperMall
All event visitors that deal directly with our Tourism Marketing Coordinator
RES.A Page 162 of 196
3 | Page
New teachers (in conjunction with the New Teacher Breakfast hosted by the
Chamber and the Auburn School District’s recruitment efforts); and
We mail out the Community Directory in the Chamber's
"Relocation/Tourism/Inquiry Packets"
The Chamber’s Community Directory continues to receive a very strong response from
the Auburn Business Community. We believe the desire of local businesses to advertise
in the Community Directory is an affirmation of the effectiveness of the Chamber's
Community Directory in presenting the strengths and assets of the Auburn area, and local
businesses, to both current and prospective visitors. They see it as a primary resource for
direct contact with their customers and clients.
The Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce also produces a Local Area Map every two to
three years. 10,000 of each edition are printed. Our map came out in June 2011 and of
those 10,000 we have been able to distribute approximately 9,000 thus far. We will be
updating our map in January, 2013.
We currently distribute these Local Area Maps to:
City Hall
Member advertisers
Auburn Library
Muckleshoot Library
Senior Center
Parks & Rec Building
Auburn Airport
Local Hotels
Small Business Assistance Center
Green River Community College
The SuperMall
All event visitors that deal directly with our Tourism Marketing Coordinator

PROVIDE SUPPORT AND SERVICE TO THE CITY'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND
OUTREACH TO CURRENT AND FUTURE BUSINESS COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
Assist the City in meeting with current and potential businesses to discuss
inducements to conducting or locating a business in Auburn. Provide input,
feedback and serve on City technical and advisory committees for issues. (Proposed
city codes, comprehensive plans and updates, design review, proposed capital
improvements, city business processes, and other emerging issues mutually agreed
upon.) Serve as the referral service for individuals seeking to do business with an
Auburn business. Meet with and provide tours of the City, when scheduling
permits, for prospective business investors in conjunction with the City's Economic
Development Manager and Planning Department. Actively promote Auburn to
prospective new business investors by attending meetings and providing
appropriate information. Maintain and provide demographic information up to a
30-mile radius from the downtown area. Organize and conduct orientations for new
employee groups as an incentive for businesses to locate in Auburn.
Chamber leaders and the Chamber’s President & CEO have been active participants on
the all important Streets Task Force (twice); took the lead in getting a ballot measure for
a vote on road improvements; and took the lead on the Urban Core Task Force, a 50-
year visioning process for the downtown area and surrounding business community.
The Chamber’s President & CEO has greatly appreciated the opportunity to be called in
as an active participate in significant recruitment and retention meetings, partnering with
the City’s Economic Development Manager and the City’s Planning Director.
The Chamber has developed a new series of business improvement courses in partnership
with the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) as a matter of business retention
for the City of Auburn. We are working diligently to improve our existing businesses so
they may thrive and expand here in our city.
Chamber staff members have been active in giving “windshield tours” of the city to
prospective businesses whenever requested.
The Chamber participates, along with other chambers, with the Valley Cities Mayors'
group to identify issues where it may forge and implement partnerships on issues critical
to enhance economic vitality for Auburn, and the south-end region. The Chamber is also
an integral founding partner on the South Sound Chambers of Commerce Legislative
Coalition (SSCCLC) that puts forth issues to better our region’s economy. The Chamber
continues to be the Administrator for the SSCCLC.
Chamber board members, especially executive committee members, have actively
(proactively) been reaching out to current businesses to stay in Auburn. We have been
engaging our members in this outreach to better fill their existing needs; a key to
retention.

PROVIDE A SERVICE TO PROMOTE TOURISM AWARENESS FOR THE CITY OF AUBURN.
Coordinate all public relations, marketing, media relations, advertising, and event
planning for the Auburn Tourism Board. Liaise on marketing and communications
matters and coordinate with the individual Board members, who comprise
representatives from the City Council, the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce, all
the major attractions, the lodging sector and other tourism-related businesses.
Follow up on activities to involve existing and new strategic partners.
Several Chamber Board Members and the President & CEO participate on the Auburn
Tourism Board, working to bring tourists to our area. This effort both builds the growing
strength of our local tourism economy and generates additional sales tax revenues to
support city services including both capital and operational expenses.
As part of our 5-year Strategic Plan, the Chamber's leadership is committed to pursuing a
community-wide, partnership effort to market on a consistent basis a branded welcome
message to tourists in connection with all the major events that put heads in beds, dollars
in retail establishments and seats in restaurants.
Our Tourism Marketing Director, Debbie Luce, has provided a comprehensive report to
the City Council Members on the progress of the Tourism Board and the great strides
made with that Board. This report highlights the 3rd year of our highly successful Auburn
Wedding Show. (See separate report from Debbie Luce.)

Our goal in 2009 was to continue to educate our local citizens by showcasing all the
tourism opportunities available in Auburn. We also wanted to promote the opening

goal was to expand our outreach outside of Auburn. The Board of Directors and
the Lodging Tax Advisory Board decided to have a Wedding Show to accomplish
our goal while still showcasing all that Auburn has to offer. The 2010 Autumn
Wedding Show at Emerald Downs was a huge success allowing us to host an even
larger Wedding Show in 2011. There were over 3,000 guests attending the 2010 and
2011 show. Auburn businesses were given a $100 discounted vendor rate and prime
booth placement. Our hotels were given free 5 x 10 booth space. We just completed
the 2012 Wedding Show. The attendance was down but the vendors reported they

TO: Mayor Pete Lewis and Carolyn Robertson
FROM: W2A and Thompson Smitch Consulting Group
DATE: November 9, 2012
SUBJECT: 2012 Accomplishments and 2013 Priorities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As 2012 comes to a close, below is a review of the activities of your federal lobbying team this
year on behalf of the City of Auburn and goals for 2012. Each firm, W2A and Thompson,
Smitch Consulting Group, brings a unique set of skills, background and relationships that
together help advance the goals of the City of Auburn. While our focus is federal issues, we are
a part of the City’s team assisting with important priorities at the state and local level as well.
SUCESSES IN 2012
• Grant Funding: Helped secure $307,500 in grant funding from the Federal Highway
Administration for high speed rail crossing safety. We began the process last
December by alerting Auburn to the grant opportunity. This year, the federal team
worked with our delegation to ensure their support of the grant request. The city was
also able to partner with Sound Transit this year and engage their support for the
grant application as mitigation for some of the work they planned in Auburn.
• Green River Community College/Airport Project: When the city heard from the
Federal Aviation Administration rejecting the city’s plan for the airport, the federal
team reached out to the delegation for assistance. Senator Murray’s office worked
with FAA both in DC and regionally to provide the information needed to keep the
project moving forward. Senator Murray’s office has committed to working with
Auburn as needed with the FAA.
• Transportation: The federal team monitored, advocated and provided ongoing
analysis as Congress considered reauthorization of the federal transportation bill,
“Moving Ahead for Progress” or MAP-21. We advocated on behalf of city
priorities whether freight mobility funding or to urge Congress to simply complete a
bill this year. Our team, also provided an analysis of changes to the bill and
RES.B Page 183 of 196
2012 Accomplishments and 2013 Priorities Page 2 of 5
opportunities for Auburn from the changed environment. This was a relatively short-
term extension of these programs, expiring in September of 2014 which means
Congress will need to start writing the next version in 2013 or very early in 2014.
• Historic Post Office: We continued our work this year with the King County Executive’s
team to negotiate the sale of the Historic Post Office either to the City or to a local buyer.
We have provided strategic counsel and support to ensure the County understands this is
a City priority.
• Regional Firing Range: The federal team has rolled out a plan to compliment the pre-
design funding secured by the City to fund the firing range in a multi-phase approach.
With the federal and state budgets being what they are, a phased approach is the only
viable strategy in our opinion to obtain these scarce construction dollars.
• Veteran’s Center: The federal team worked with the City to ensure that the delegation is
aware of the city’s interest in establishing a one-stop veteran’s assistance center. We
introduced the Mayor and Michael Hursh to key contacts on the Senate Veterans Affairs
Committee to provide assistance and information about possible funding opportunities.
• Sound Transit: We worked extensively with Sound Transit to provide assurance of its
commitment to a second parking garage in Auburn. We secured a letter from Chair
McCarthy to Mayor Lewis stating Sound Transit and its board’s support. We also
worked with Sound Transit to secure their support in assisting the city in improving
safety on the rail corridor.
• Amtrak: We continue to support the City in its efforts to secure an Amtrak station.
We’ve monitored developments and opportunities at the federal level, and have met with
key Amtrak staff both in DC and in the region to help provide counsel and assistance in
the City’s efforts. The delegation is also aware of the City’s interest.
• Federal Funding: The federal team has been heavily involved in advocating for Auburn
specific issues and protecting programs the City values most. Our teams have tracked,
provided analysis, and advocated on behalf of funding with our delegation for several
federal programs important to the City including: High Speed Rail funding, COPS
funding, Community Development Block Grant funds among others.
• Water and Flooding Issues: We continued to advocate on behalf of the city with the
delegation to secure FEMA reimbursement for disaster readiness. Unfortunately the
second appeal was denied by FEMA.
• Federal Legislation: We have also worked with the delegation to support or oppose
legislation or key provisions in legislation important to the City. We have also monitored
and provided analysis of bills that may significantly impact the City. A few examples
include:
o Marketplace Fairness and Equity Act – a series of bills that would allow for
internet tax fairness – requiring some online retailers to collect state and local
sales tax on their products. Several bills have been introduced, some hearings
RES.B Page 184 of 196
2012 Accomplishments and 2013 Priorities Page 3 of 5
held and there is hope among some advocates that Congress will address the issue
in the crowded lame duck session.
o Violence Against Women Act – We continue to monitor developments on the
House and Senate versions reauthorizing this act. The Senate version includes
provisions that would allow tribes to prosecute non-Indians for acts of domestic
violence.
o Coal Train Legislation – Rep. McDermott has introduced a series of bills aimed at
mitigating some of the environmental impacts of coal trains. The federal team
provided an analysis of the bills and also of the broader issue to the City.
• Washington State Government: We worked with the City on an ongoing basis to
execute outreach to the Washington State Legislative leadership and the Governor’s
office on issues of critical interest. The Auburn team has been effective leveraging
existing Washington State Legislative and Office of the Governor contacts to protect
vital funding streams at the State level. Auburn and cities across the State have and
will face serious efforts to cut State funds that historically go towards police and fire
amongst other important services. With massive budget shortfalls in Olympia, the
Auburn team is persistent in efforts to ensure that Auburn does not endure grave
budget cuts.
• Building Relationships: We helped on several challenging issue management projects
outside our traditional scope of work, and helped build stronger relationships for the City
with organizations that frequently create challenges and opportunities for Auburn. Those
projects involved outreach to the following groups: newly elected members of the state
legislature, lobbyists and consultants working on projects with other entities that
potentially benefit or harm Auburn, Sound Transit board members and senior
management, Port of Seattle commissioners and senior staff a variety of elected council
members and staff from the King County Council, and senior executives at Puget Sound
Energy.
WORK PLANNED FOR 2013:
In 2013, we plan on working with the City of Auburn on the following projects and issues:
• SR 167: The Auburn team is already underway here, working with other potential
coalition members and potential federal and state champions to identify multiple
opportunities for a path to funding for this critical piece of infrastructure. In the new
Congress there will be a federally led effort to secure support for, including funding to
complete Highway 167. The Auburn consulting team has long been underway meeting
with State and Federal officials which has secured the team a spot in a leadership position
as the coalition is brought together. This will ensure that the needs of the City are
protected and that our interests will have a strong position of advocacy.
• Community Center: The Auburn team is underway at the State level in building support
for the $3.5 million needed to complete the Community Center. This will be a legacy
RES.B Page 185 of 196
2012 Accomplishments and 2013 Priorities Page 4 of 5
piece for the City leadership and will be a primary focus of our work coming into the
next legislative session in Olympia. We are confident that we have a strong case for
funding even in a tough budget climate as a result of our deep connections with
legislative leadership and the likely Governor.
• The funding climate both at the federal and state level will continue to be challenging.
The City will need a robust plan to actively engage funding agencies in its projects to be
successful securing funds. We will work with the City of Auburn to strategize on the FY
2013 opportunities to include funding for:
• Regional Training Center and Firing Range for law enforcement;
• Race to the Top Grant – the City is supporting Auburn School District’s efforts to
secure funding. Our team has strong connections to the Federal Department of
Education and is looking forward to assisting with this process.
• Liquor Revenues: With the State exceeding their revenue goals for liquor sales under the
new program it is essential that the excess funds be returned to the cities to support the
extra police attention that must be paid to these matters amongst other collateral affects of
the new law. The Auburn team has already had discussions with State officials and
regional leaders to prep this effort for the legislative session. The team will continue to
build a coalition of support so lawmakers truly feel how their constituent cities have been
impacted and push for those excess funds to be distributed back to the local jurisdictions.
• Fiscal Cliff and Federal Funding: We will work to keep the City apprised of funding
changes as Congress works to address the “fiscal cliff”, the mix of automatic funding cuts
scheduled to be implemented January 2, 2013 (essentially an 8-9% cut across all
agencies), and works through finalizing appropriations for fiscal year 2013, and begins
fiscal year 2014.
• We will work to advance the City’s priorities as they relate to securing transportation
funding for priority projects, keeping the City informed of opportunities and advocating
on its behalf with the delegation and federal agencies.
• We will continue to monitor bills and provide strategic guidance and counsel on engaging
with the congressional delegation on rail and Amtrak issues.
• We will continue to monitor any legislative and regulatory activity related to the Indian
Gaming Regulatory Act.
• We will continue to promote the expansion of key relationships in the region, DC and
local staff of Members of Congress, senior staff and commissioners at the Port of Seattle
and to regional political appointees.
• We will continue ongoing strategic discussions with City staff regarding these and other
issues of significance to Auburn.
RES.B Page 186 of 196
2012 Accomplishments and 2013 Priorities Page 5 of 5
• Sound Transit will continue to be an ongoing challenge and opportunity for the City. We
will continue to help the City move forward with Sound Transit on a real and achievable
plan for a second parking garage. We will also help the City navigate other Sound
Transit-related issues as they develop throughout the year.
CONCLUSION
Your federal team very much enjoys the opportunity to work on behalf of Auburn. We have had
great success together, and we are looking forward to a productive 2013. Thank you for your
business and for the time you have invested with us. We look forward to working with you
throughout the year on these and other key projects for the City.
