B. Presentation on Best Starts for Kids Program
Presentation by Patty Hayes, Interim Director of Public Health – Seattle &
King County
Ms. Patty Hayes, Interim Director of Public Health - Seattle and King County
provided a presentation on the regional initiative, Best Starts for Kids, that
would fund prevention and early intervention based on the latest brain
science. Best Starts for Kids is supported by research, which shows that
early investment in a child's development — starting with prenatal
support— delivers the greatest returns.
Page 1 of 7
CA.A Page 5 of 90
Examples of Best Starts for Kids strategies include:
• Universal access to developmental screenings for very young children,
when it is proven to be most effective at helping infants and toddlers
prepare for school.
• Increase access to mental - health screenings for middle school -age
youth.
• Nurse home visitations for first -time mothers —from pregnancy through a
child's first two years —to make sure they get off to a strong, healthy
start.
• Flexible funding for families to prevent homelessness. For example,
helping a working mother keep her transportation so she can make it to
work and not lose her job, decreasing the likelihood that she and her
family become homeless.
The proposal Executive Constantine presented to the Metropolitan King
County Council includes a six -year levy lid increase of 14 cents per $1,000 of
assessed property value, which would raise $58 million in the first year. The
cost to the average King County homeowner would be about $56 per year.
The King County Council will vote on the proposed legislation by July 20th
and in time for placement on the November 2015 ballot.

found on the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges website,
which states in part: Green River works closely with local employers to
design curriculum for today's jobs and tomorrow's careers. Instructors are
experts in their fields, many having substantial experience employed in the
field they teach. Industry leaders regularly serve on advisory committees.
These committees strive to build and maintain relationships benefitting
students, the college and the community."

College, and he is an auto technology instructor at Green River College. Mr.

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council to adopt Ordinance No. 6560
Background Summary:
On September 3, 2013, under Ordinance No. 6477, City Council accepted the
Planning Commission's recommendation to adopt new rules that established
regulations and procedures for the licensing of Communal Residences. These rules
were adopted in large part because of an increase in the amount of shared student
housing within non -owner occupied homes that are near Green River Community
College. Ordinance No. 6477 established an effective date of January 1, 2014 in order
to allow property owners ample opportunity to bring their property into compliance with
the new rules. City staff prepared and mailed notification to all property owners on Lea
Hill south of SE 304th Street.
On June 16, 2014 City Council enacted Resolution No. 5079 which established a one
year moratorium on the acceptance and issuance of communal residence business
licenses and permits. City Council took this action because it appeared as though the
rules adopted under Ordinance No. 6477 did not fully address the issues and impacts
of communal residence uses. In particular, the lack of an occupant limit, the ability of
the conditional use permit process to be used to exceed 4 occupants, and the lack of
integration that the communal residence standards has with other shared housing
arrangements.
On March 3, 2015 staff presented a series of draft amendments to the Planning
Commission that were intended to assist in lifting the moratorium and establish
permanent communal residence licensing and use regulations. On March 17, 2015
the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the draft amendments. At the
conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Commission deliberated on the code
changes and voted to make modifications to the staff recommendation and to
ORD.A AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINED Page 24 of 90
recommend that City Council adopt the amendments displayed in proposed
Ordinance No. 6560.
Highlights of the draft amendments include:
1. Eliminating the ability to obtain a conditional use permit that allows more than 4
tenants which also has the effect of establishing a 4 tenant occupancy limit.
2. Require that one on -site parking space be designated for each tenant.
3. Clarify that other forms of defined group housing arrangements are not the same as
a communal residence.
4. Clarify that a communal residence is a form of business activity.

OF THE AUBURN CITY CODE RELATING TO COMMUNAL
RESIDENCES
WHEREAS, the City of Auburn has seen an increase in rental housing particularly in
residential neighborhoods adjacent to Green River College and through citizen comment
determined the City's rental housing related codes need to be amended in some fashion; and
WHEREAS, the current provisions of the Auburn City Code (ACC) define communal
residences as a dwelling without an owner occupant that is rented to a group of unrelated
individuals [ACC 18.04.249], and further identify regulations related to communal residences
[ACC 18.31.130], however, it appears that these provisions may not be adequate to fully
address the issues related to communal residences; and
WHEREAS, in order to address issues related to rental housing primarily in single family
residential neighborhoods, the City Council determined that it is appropriate to fully evaluate and
consider the different options and avenues through which communal residence rental housing
operates; and
WHEREAS, in conformity with the responsibilities of the City of Auburn to provide for
zoning and land use regulations pursuant to state law, and the City's authority to regulate land
use activity within its corporate limits, the City intends to explore and evaluate how it can most
reasonably and responsibly address the issues and impacts related to communal residence
rental housing; and
WHEREAS, in order to give the City adequate time to fully consider all the options and
Ordinance No. 6560
May 12, 2015
Page 1 of 12
ORD.A Page 26 of 90
alternatives for appropriate regulations, and to fully investigate and review all of the factors
involved in communal residence rental housing related uses, the City Council determined it had
a need to impose a moratorium on accepting and processing applications for communal
residence rental housing uses, until its review of needed regulations and the adoption and
implementation of needed regulations can be completed; and
WHEREAS, RCW Sections 35A.63.220 and 36.70A.390 authorize cities to adopt
moratoria; and
WHEREAS, consistent with the provisions of RCW 35A.63.220, on June 16, 2014, the
City Council passed its Resolution No. 5079, implementing and establishing a moratorium on
the acceptance or processing of applications for business licenses and other licenses, permits
and approvals for communal residential rental housing; and
WHEREAS, since the passage of Resolution No. 5079, members of the Planning
Department and other City staff have been working with the City of Auburn Planning
Commission to evaluate, consider and propose amendments to the City Code to address
communal residential rental housing; and
WHEREAS, on March 17, 2015, the City of Auburn Planning Commission held a public
hearing to hear comments regarding communal residential rental housing, and following the
public hearing and the receipt of comments and discussion related thereto, the Planning
Commission moved to forward to the City Council its recommendations regarding communal
residential rental housing, set forth herein below.

Background Summary:
The City of Auburn is approached by numerous persons and organizations interested
in hosting or participating in special events that may utilize City Streets and Public
Properties. It was determined by City staff that it would benefit both the City of Auburn
and the Event Organizers to put in place a procedure that would streamline existing
steps and necessary permits needed to produce an event and determine any fees for
the event based on the impact to the City of Auburn.
A committee consisting of Administration, Parks, Legal, Human Resources /Risk
Management, and all Community Development divisions worked together to formulate
the process that would benefit both the Event Organizer and the City of Auburn. The
Highlights of the Ordinance include:
• Definition of what is "an event"
• Process for the Application
• Definition of "Staff Review Committee"
• Cost recovery of Special Events
• Exclusion of "Special Events" from City Code 8.28.010 Noise Control
It is the goal of the City of Auburn to facilitate vibrant community events that promote
tourism, the arts, community gathering, fitness and culture while recognizing the
impacts, both positive and negative, on the areas effected by such events.

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council to suspend its rules and adopt Ordinance No. 6561 on first reading.
Background Summary:
On September 18, 2006, the Auburn City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6049 in an
effort to address urban blight issues in Downtown Auburn. Exhibit "B" of Ordinance
No. 6049 contained a Community Renewal Plan for Downtown Auburn that was
intended to provide programs and approaches for addressing conditions of urban
blight in Downtown Auburn.
On December 1, 2014, the Auburn City Council approved Ordinance No. 6539
authorizing the 2015 -2016 Biennial Budget. The approved 2015 -2016 Budget
appropriated $200,000.00 in general fund dollars for a Downtown Storefront
Improvement Program. The goals of the Downtown Storefront Improvement Program
are consistent with and supportive of the overall goals of the previously adopted
Community Renewal Plan.
In order to support the City's continued interest in addressing urban blight in
Downtown Auburn in alignment with the previously adopted Community Renewal
Plan, it is necessary to amend the Financial Plan component of the Community
Renewal Plan to include the Downtown Storefront Improvement Program. The
amendment to the Financial Plan element of the adopted Community Renewal Plan to
include the Downtown Storefront Improvement Program will create a direct and
transparent relationship between this Program and the Community Renewal Plan,
which is in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of
Auburn.
Staff requests that the City Council suspend its rules and adopt Ordinance 6561 on
the first reading. This action will support staff's efforts to launch the Downtown
Storefront Improvement Program in early June 2015.

COMMUNITY RENEWAL AREA FINANCIAL PLAN
Background
Auburn historically developed out from a traditional downtown focused along Main
Street and the railroad. Until the latter part of the last century, Auburn was a relatively
free - standing community separated from the Seattle and Tacoma urban cores by miles
of farmland. As such, downtown provided a full range of goods and services to serve
local needs.
Starting in the 1960's, improved highway connections made a larger regional area
accessible for employment, shopping, services and entertainment. Concurrently,
downtown Auburn, like many smaller city downtowns, began a long period of decline.
Over time, fewer goods and services were available in downtown Auburn, and the larger
downtown retailers including JC Penney, eventually closed or relocated. Property
owners limited investments in maintenance and construction in property.
By the 1990's, downtown had reached its nadir but at the same time the seeds for its
rebirth were being sown. The City experienced rapid growth outside of the downtown
area, bringing thousands of new households into the area. There has also been some
modest improvement downtown. Auburn Regional Medical Center has undergone
several expansions making downtown a center for medical excellence. The City
partnered with Sound Transit and King County Metro to develop Auburn Station. The
City selected the location and partnered in the construction of the parking garage and
first floor retail space in the expectation that it would serve as a catalyst for
redevelopment. The City also built the Auburn Justice Center at the eastern end of
Main Street to anchor that area. At the same time, the private sector began to respond
to opportunities presented by downtown. Several new buildings were built and a few
others renovated.
Today, downtown is on the verge of a renaissance, but the legacy of decades of decline
remains. Numerous buildings are in poor condition, functionally obsolete and most are
not worthy of rehabilitation. Some buildings that have been damaged by earthquakes
and fire remain standing, often in poor condition. Vacant lots abound. A number of
occupied buildings contain uses inconsistent with a vibrant downtown. Development
density is low and not supportive of the City's "Urban Center" designation. Patterns of
property ownership (multiple narrow lots) which date back to the 1920's will not support
the needs of new development compatible with Auburn's plans and policies. Site
acquisition and assembly is often a critical obstacle.
ORD.0 Page 59 of 90
Plan Goals
The City intends to use a variety of financial and other incentives to promote the
redevelopment of downtown in a manner consistent with:
• The Auburn Downtown Plan (May 2001) element of the City Comprehensive
Plan
• The City Comprehensive Plan (updated annually)
• Auburn Downtown Urban Center designation (as approved by King County and
the Puget Sound Regional Council)
• The City Economic Development Strategies document (2005)
• Downtown Design and Code Amendments (pending at time of writing)
Plan Financial Strategies
The City intends to use its current financial resources (including its nonvoted general
obligation debt capacity) to acquire strategically located parcels. These will
ultimately be offered for sale on a public competitive basis, sometimes in conjunction
with other parcels owned by the City. Under the competitive process, potential
developers will be required to demonstrate an ability to bring on -line development
compatible with City plans, ordinances and policies including, as an example, the
extent to which a project may serve as a catalyst for the revitalization and renewal of
the downtown area. Development proposals will, among other items, be evaluated
upon total return on the City's expenditure.
In so doing, the sales price may take into account such considerations as:
• Projected construction sales tax accruing to the City,
• Projected property tax accruing to the City;
• Potential real estate excise taxes earned by the City in connection with the sale
of improved properties;
• Projected sales taxes resulting from retail development and from purchases
made by residents of the project within Auburn;
• Leasehold tax revenues; and,
• Other factors as may be deemed appropriate.
2. The City will consider waivers of traffic impact and storm drainage fees.
3. Application of the City's adopted program for a 10 year waiver of property taxes for
residential portions of appropriate projects.
4. The City will consider the formation of additional local improvement districts in the
downtown area to help pay for infrastructure such as street, sidewalk and storm
drainage improvements, and utility relocation.
ORD.0 Page 60 of 90
5. The City will apply for State and Federal grants, as available, for economic
development and for infrastructure improvements.
6. The City will work cooperatively with other governmental agencies including King
County and Sound Transit, to bring financial resources to bear on improvements that
will benefit both the City and other entities.
7. If made possible through amendments to existing law, the City may use tax
increment financing to encourage improvements within the downtown community
renewal area.
8. The City will implement the Downtown Storefront Improvement Program authorized
by the adopted 2015 -2016 Biennial Budget and associated Program goals within the
downtown community renewal area.

DOWNTOWN PROJECT AREA RESIDENTIAL
DISPLACEMENT PLAN
Introduction
The Auburn community has a substantial inventory of affordable housing. Its supply of
housing that is accessible and affordable to low, moderate and middle- income groups is
one of the largest in King County. The City of Auburn supports the improvement of
community's existing low income housing supply and during the last three decades has
supported the development of its human services infrastructure as well as housing
addressing the needs of disadvantaged populations.
The City of Auburn does not anticipate that its actions will directly displace residents in
the renewal area. It will seek to avoid displacement and explore alternative actions
which will limit displacement of residents in those areas designated for revitalization.
However, in the event such displacement does occur, the City will utilize its resources to
mitigate the adverse effects of displacement.
Plan to Minimize Displacement
In order to avoid and /or minimize displacement, the City of Auburn will emphasize
projects which:
• Do not demolish buildings housing low income residents.
• Emphasize projects that require no relocation or only temporary relocation.
• Attempt to focus revitalization efforts on properties whose use is substantially
commercial rather residential.
• Encourage the redevelopment of residential properties that are voluntarily
sold, not as result of the use of the power of eminent domain.
Plan to Assist Displaced Residents
For projects where displacement is unavoidable, the City of Auburn will work with local,
state and federal agencies and organizations to assist in identifying housing suitable for
the relocation of displaced persons.
• The programs, services and funding sources of the King County Housing
Authority, shall be requested to assist any resident displaced as a result of
the project.
ORD.0 Page 62 of 90
• The City will collaborate with area human services agencies to identify and
facilitate access to existing housing opportunities for residents displaced as a
result of revitalization efforts.
• The City will seek to identify programs that provide down payment assistance,
rent subsidies, or access to existing affordable housing opportunities in the
community.
• The City will identify and develop a list of public and private multi - family
housing complexes that offer affordable housing opportunities within the
Auburn community.
• The City will collaborate with area realtors to identify housing opportunities
suitable for residents in revitalization areas who are being displaced.

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council to adopt Resolution No. 5137
Background Summary:
On September 3, 2008, the former Auburn Downtown Redevelopment Committee
approved the Auburn Junction Design Guidelines. These Guidelines were intended to
act as an overlay district to the current Downtown Urban Center Design Guidelines
applying to the four (4) block area of the then Auburn Junction Project, as well as
adjacent sections in public rights -of -way including the opposite sides of all perimeter
streets. The four (4) block area of the Auburn Junction Project is bounded by A Street
SW on the west, Main Street on the north, A Street SE on the east and 2nd Street on
the south. Subsequent to the former Downtown Redevelopment Committee's approval
of the Auburn Junction Design Guidelines, there has been no substantive
development of the Auburn Junction Project within the four (4) block area. However,
development has occurred or is occurring on two (2) blocks of the four (4) blocks and
is substantially different than the development envisioned for the Auburn Junction
Project. Further, development for the two (2) remaining blocks is not anticipated to
occur in a manner consistent with the Auburn Junction Project. As such, the Auburn
Junction Project will no longer come to fruition and retaining the associated Auburn
Junction Design Guidelines is not in the best interest of the on -going revitalization of
Downtown Auburn and the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Auburn.

I. DEFINITIONS/ARCHITECTURAL TERMS
These words shall have the following meanings for fhe purposes of these guidelines:
a. Articulation- in art and archirecuire, is first of all ajoint. Expanding from tha[ detinition, articulation is
also a method of'styling thejoints in the formal elements of architectural design. Through degrees of
articulation, each part is united with the whole work by means of a joint in such a way that the joined
parts are put together in styles ranging from excepYionally distinet jointing to die opposite of high
articulation—tluidity and continuiry ofjoining. In highly articulated works, each paR is defined precisely
and stands out clearly. The articulation of a building reveals how the parts fi[into the whole by
emphasizing each pazt separately.
b. Canopy -means a cover over a sidewalk providin�protection from the rain, which is constructed of
durable, permanent materials.
c. Cornice -upper section of an entablature, a projecting shelf along the top of a wall often
supported by brackets.
d. Director- means the director of[he Aubum department of planning, building and communiry.
e. Green roof - means a roof designed with principles of environmental sustainability, involving the use of
vegetation and storm water collection and cleaning. It may or may not be accessible.
f. Neatraditional—Design concept that promotes a more IivaUle and alive community for residents; more
sustainable since it preserves land by encouraging more compact development and reduces air pollution
and carbon dioxide emissions by creating new opportunities to walk and bike rather than using a car; and
mixed-use with a comUination of commercial and residential development.
g. Parking, structured- means parking contained within an enclosed building either part of or designed to
appeaz like it is part of the larger building complex, or a freestanding structure devoted exclusively to
above-grade pazking.
h. Plinth -a block used as'the base of a column or other upright support.
i. Public art- means any form of painting, mural, mosaic, sculpture, or other work of art,so long as it can be
appraised as a work of art and its value as such documented, displayed on the esterior of a building, at or
near the pedestrian entrance, or on a public plaza, and visible to users of the public right-of-way at all
times.
j. Public plaza- means an open space that is visible and accessible to the public at all times, predominantly
open to the sky, and for use principally by people,as opposed to merely a setting for the building.
k. Street level retail -means uses providing goods and services, including food and drink, adjacent to,
visible from,and directly accessible from the public sidewalk.

introduced along the sidewalks and/or street medians on all streets throughout Auburn Junction as well as
streets on the opposite s•ides of all perimeter streets consis[ent with the Downtown Sidewalk Standards.
2. To work with Sound Transit to redevelop the Transi[ Station plaza into a park faciliry and incorporate"green"
features. Altering bus traffic will need to be discussed with the appropriate agencies and most likely will not
take place until the 2nd parking garage is constructed on the west side of the BNSF tracks.
3. To apply goals and intent statements specified in the United States Green Building Council's Neighborhood
