KING COUNTY AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, PROVIDING FORA CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A CHILDRENS MEDICAL CARE CLINIC LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 17TH AND "M" STREETS S.E., WITHIN THE CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON. WHEREAS, Application Number 15-88, dated April 26, 1988, together with site plans therefore, has been submitted to the City of Auburn, Washington, by ROBERT F. KERR, requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a childrens medical clinic on property located on the southwest corner of 17th and "I" Streets S.E., within the City of Auburn, Washington, hereinafter described in Section 2 of this Ordinance; and WHEREAS, said request above referred to, was referred to the Hearing Examiner for study and public hearing thereon; and WHEREAS, the Hearing Examiner based upon staff review, held a public hearing to consider said petition in the Council Chambers of the Auburn City Hall, on May 18, 1988, at 7:30 P.M., at the conclusion of which the Hearing Examiner recommended approval of the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to allow a childrens medical clinic based upon the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions, to -wit: FINDINGS -OF FACT 1. The applicant, Robert F. Kerr, M.D., applies for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a child care clinic. 2. The proposed site is located on the southwest corner of 17th and "M" Street S.E. and is currently zoned R-2 (Single Family Residential). The existing land use is that of a doctor's office. 3. The applicant proposes to care for 8-10 children from age infant to three years. The children will be ill and most will be bedridden. The children generally will have various disabilities including but not limited to diabetes, severe bronchial asthma, and chronic illnesses. The applicant indicates that the center will take care of the children during the daytime hours and will be staffed by registered, licensed and practical nurses. The applicant indicates that there may up to seven employees, two of which will be part-time. --------------------- Ordinance No. 4291 Page One 6/14/88 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 4. Surrounding land uses and zoning in the vicinity include a service sta- tion, C-1, to the north; R-2, Single Family, to the south; C-1, Commercial, to the east; and R-2, Single Family, to the west. 5. The subject site is designated single family in the Comprehensive Plan. However, in 1986 the City of Auburn issued a Conditional Use Permit for the subject site for a doctor's office. The site was subsequently con- verted but has never been utilized and has remained vacant. 6. The site has an already developed parking lot containing 13 parking spaces and one handicapped space. The lot is partially fenced and is accessed from "M" Street. 7. The subject site is located at the intersection of two arterials, "M" Street and 17th Street S.E. 8. The current zoning on the subject site, R-2, permits professional office uses subject to the requirements of a Conditional Use Permit. As indi- cated, a conditional use permit for a similar use has already been issued on the subject site. 9. At the time of the hearing, neighbors appeared and expressed concern with respect to the potential noise to be generated by the proposed use. Following the close of the public hearing, after the applicant departed from the Council Chambers, one neighbor who was still in the audience con- tinued to express concern regarding the possibility of excessive noise from the facility and the lack of, what he viewed, as an adequate fence. Accordingly, the record of the hearing was held open and the concerned neighbor was invited to provide additional comments in writing on or before the close of business on Wednesday, May 25th, 1988. No additional written information was submitted by the neighbor. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The Auburn Zoning Ordinance at Section 18.64.040 sets forth a series of criteria which must be established by the evidence prior to the time that a conditional use permit may be granted. The first of these criteria is that the use will have no more of an adverse effect on the health, safety, or comfort of citizens residing in the area than would a use permitted outright in the vicinity. This criteria is established by the evidence. A similar use, that of a doctors office, has already been approved. The proposed use will have no more of an adverse effect than would the already approved use of a doctors office. Specifically, the proposed use will probably have a considerably less impact on the neighborhood than would a doctors office with multiple patients coming and going at all hours of the day. The applicant's use will result in traffic in the early morning and late afternoon hours when parents are dropping children off with little, if any, traffic during the middle of the day. This criteria is established by the evidence. 2. Further, the applicant must establish that the proposal is in accordance with the goals, policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. This criteria is established by the evidence. 3. Further, the applicant must establish that the proposal complies with all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. This criteria is established by the evidence. ---------------------- Ordinance No. 4291 Page Two 6/14/88 C11. n M 0 �f 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 r-1I Vll 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 4. Further, it must be established that the proposal can be constructed and maintained so as to be harmonious and appropriate in design, character, and appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity. There are no design changes planned and this criteria is established by the evidence. 5. Finally, it must be established that the use as proposed will not effect the public infrastructure. The utilities are adequate to serve the sub- ject site particularly given the staggered arrival and departure times of the users. However, the use should not be permitted to expand into a 24 hour -a -day facility because of the additional impacts associated with 24 hour -a -day use of the site. Accordingly, it is reasonable to limit the hours which the site may be used from 6:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. For each of the above referenced reasons, the recommendation of the Hearing Examiner to the Auburn City Council on this application for a Conditional Use Permit is approved and affirmed. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The above cited Hearing Examiner's Findings of Fact and Conclusions, are herewith incorporated in this Ordinance. Section 2.
