Auburn,WA 98001 PERMIT #1652 You are receiving this notice as a property owner and/or resident near Green River Community College.We have seen an increase in rental housing within single family neighborhoods in your area and also other parts of Auburn and wanted to let you know that the City of Auburn has passed new regulations related to rental housing (Ordinance No. 6477). The goal of the new regulations is to establish a threshold for how many unrelated individuals may occupy a rental unit or home. The City allows 4 or fewer unrelated individuals to occupy a rental unit/home or up to 2 additional rental rooms if home is owner- occupied. If a landlord proposes to rent to more than 4 occupants a conditional use permit is necessary. The regulations also expand the City's rental housing business license and requires an annual inspection of the non-owner occupied rental unit. Please see the City's website at www.auburnwa.gov/rentals for the full regulations, application forms and frequently asked questions.
