The applicant, Muckleshoot Indian Tribe through their agents Stephen Demarest and Roger Blaylock request a rezone from R-MHP to R-3 togetherwith a Conditional Use Permit. 2. The proposal would allow the construction of eight 4-plexes and is part of a larger parcel which is all under the same ownership. Currently the western 4.95 acres of the parcel is zoned R-4 (Multiple Family) and the rezone/conditional use permit area is the eastern portion of the site. The portion of the site which is the subject of this application is 4.03 acres in size. 3. The applicants propose development of a 122 unit multi -family development located on the entire parcel. Under the applicant's proposal that portion of the site already zoned R-4 is proposed to contain 90 units and the proposed rezone area will contain 8 4-plexes or a total of 32 units. 4. Surrounding zoning and land uses in the vicinity include vacant land located within King County to the north; R-3, Multi -Family, Commercial to the south; RR, RMHP, Mobile Home Park and vacant to the east; and R-4, vacant to the west. The City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan designates the subject site for moderate density residential uses. The Comprehensive Plan designation could be implemented by utilization of either mobile home park or R-3 (duplex) zoning. ------------------- Ordinance No. 4380 November 14, 1989 Page 2 CfTY CL RK'S OFFICE CITY F AUBURN 25 1 Vest Main Aubutr WA 98001 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ® 10 Pi 11 e� 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 5. The current mobile home park zoning exists as a result of a rezone requested by a previous owner during the 19601s. 6. The R-3 (Duplex) zone permits multiple family structures provided that a conditional use permit is issued and there must be 3600 square feet of land per dwelling unit. In addition, there may be no more than 4 dwelling units per structure. 7. A portion of the rezone and conditional use permit site which is 1.3 acres in size is on a steep slope which renders it undevelopable. The evidence establishes that the applicant has not used the steep slope as part of the density calculations. 8. The development as proposed containing 32 units thus requires 115,200 square feet of land area (32 X 3600) and the evidence establishes that the applicant has provided 118,920 square feet of developable land. 9. The site will be accessed via Auburn Way South which is a designated arterial but not yet developed to full arterial standards. There is an elementary school lying approximately 400 feet to the west of the project and as a result of the location of the school, the City of Auburn will grade the shoulder of Auburn Way South from the west property line of this proposal to the Chinook School. 10. The Zoning Code requires 1 parking space for each of 10 units to be set aside for recreational vehicles. In addition, the Zoning Code requires the RV spaces to be screened. The application shows the proper number of RV spaces, however, the site plan does not indicate screening. 11. At the time of the public hearing a revised site plan was submitted as the original site plan had indicated a maximum building height of 35 feet and the highest permitted building height in both the R- 4 and R-3 zones is 30 feet. At the time of the public hearing, the applicant's representative indicated that the only change to the site plan was ------------------- Ordinance No. 4380 November 14, 1989 Page 3 'CITY CLERK'S OFFICE CITY PF AUBURN 25 est Main Aubur WA 98001 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 e1 12 13 14 15 16 17' 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 the building height. Staff did not have the opportunity to carefully review the site plan at the time of the public hearing, however, the Zoning Code will require the building height to be limited to 30 feet. 12. The large significant trees on the property which are numerous should be retained where possible. 13. Earlier this year the applicant requested rezone of the entire parcel to R-4 (Multiple Family) which was denied by the City Council. 14. There was no public testimony in connection with this rezone and conditional use permit request. 15. The staff report with its recommendation of conditional approval is incorporated herein by reference as though set forth in full. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The evidence establishes that the rezone, as proposed, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Specifically the moderate density plan designation provides for between 6-10 units per acre and the subject proposal results in a density of less than 8 units per acre. The Comprehensive Plan requires two accesses and two are provided. There are also 4 units per structure provided in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The criteria for a conditional use permit have also been established by the facts of this application. Specifically, the use will have no more of an adverse effect on the health, safety, or comfort of persons living or working in the area than would any use generally permitted in the district. This use will result in an integrated multiple family development and improvement to Auburn Way South in the vicinity of the development. 4. The proposal complies with the Comprehensive Plan as set forth above. ------------------- Ordinance No. 4380 November 14, 1989 Page 4 C'9 C� 74 M iCITY LERK'S OFFICE CIT OF AUBURN 21 West Main Aubu n, WA 98001 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 5. The proposal complies with the Zoning Ordinance although the site plan will need to be revised to screen the RV spaces and has been previously amended to reflect the 30 foot building height limitation. 6. The four-plexes as proposed are consistent and harmonious with the existing and intended character of the vicinity. 7. There is no evidence by which it could be concluded that the proposal would adversely affect the public infrastructure. For each of the above referenced reasons, the recommendation of the Hearing Examiner to the Auburn City Council on this Rezone and Conditional Use Permit to allow for construction of eight 4-plexes to be built on 4.03 acres is approved and affirmed upon the condition that the construction shall be consistent with the amended site plan and shall provide for the second access through the R-4 zoned parcel; minor adjustments may be made to the site plan to reflect the screened RV spaces, and a land clearing permit must be obtained to retain as many of the trees as possible. 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. ------------------- Ordinance No. 4380 November 14, 1989 Page 5 "ITY CL RK'S OFFICE CITY OF AUBURN 25 est Main Auburn WA 88001 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 Section 2.
