FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The applicants, owners of four parcels of land located
at 1205, 1215, 1221, and 1225 Harvey Road have
requested a rezone. The applicants request that their
property be rezoned from existing R-2 (Single Family
Residential) to R-O (Residential Office) zone.
2. Currently, each one of the four parcels contains a
single family home and as previously indicated is zoned
R-2 (Single Family).
3. The Comprehensive Plan designates this subject site for
residential office uses. Existing zoning and land uses
in the vicinity include C-1, Commercial, to the north;
R-2/R-O, Single Family/Office, to the south; R-O and C-
1, Multi -Family, to the east; and R-2, Single Family,
to the west. The Comprehensive Plan designations for
land in the vicinity include commercial to the north,
residential office to the south and east, and single
family to the west.
4. The applicant does not propose any development plans
currently.
5. The site, located to the west of Harvey Road, runs
parallel to Harvey Road and has its southern boundary
on 12th Street N.E.
6. The evidence establishes that uses adjacent to Harvey
Road have been converting to Professional Office uses
over the years.
7. The evidence further establishes that Harvey Road is a
designated and planned five lane arterial.

8. The intent of the residential office zone is to be
compatible with adjoining residential zones.
Specifically, the zone provides a number of protections
for adjacent residential zones including development
standards which contain setbacks, lot coverage limits
and other use restrictions typical of residential
zones. Further, a 10 foot wide landscaping buffer is
required to protect adjacent residential uses and to
provide an adequate transition between the residential
office and residential uses.
9. At the time of the public hearing, a number of citizens
objected of the proposed use. Specifically, citizen
objections were based upon increased traffic,
incompatibility of office and residential uses,
potential erosion of the residential area through
potential off -site parking problems, and lack of
citizen safety as a result of the fact that motorists
use 12th Street, south of the site, to short-cut from
Harvey Road to Auburn Way North.
10. The Planning Department responds that the traffic to be
generated by the proposed use will not be a significant
increase over the currently existing traffic situation.
11. Staff further explained that substantial areas of the
Harvey Road Corridor have already been rezoned for
office uses. However, existing single family zoned
lots with single family uses on them were not rezoned,
although they were designated for residential office
uses. At the time of the adoption of the Comprehensive
Plan, containing a residential office zoning district,
it was deemed appropriate to wait for owners of
specific single family zoned parcels in the Harvey Road
area to initiate rezone requests.
12. The staff report with its recommendation of approval,
is incorporated herein by reference as though set forth
in full.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan, adopted after
numerous public hearing, recommends the site for
Office -Residential uses.
2. The goal of the Office -Residential zone is to preserve
areas to accommodate professional offices for expanding
medical and business uses, while providing a transition
between residential uses and more intensive uses and
activities.
3. The Office -Residential zoning district provides a
buffer between heavily travelled arterials and
established single family areas. The Comprehensive
Plan notes that the Office -Residential zoning district
is "particularly appropriate in areas where large
traffic volumes have affected and established
residential area..."
4. There is no question that the traffic which travels on
Harvey Road has affected the single family residential
areas to the west and south. In fact, the zoning
proposed will provide an adequate buffer and will help
preserve the neighborhood from the increasing traffic
pressures on the Harvey Road Corridor.
For each of the above referenced reasons, the
recommendation of the Hearing Examiner to the Auburn City
Council on the requested rezone is approval.
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.
