The applicants, Brian and Janet Van, applied for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of six duplexes on three lots. 2. The subject property is located approximately 105± feet west of "M" Street N.E. in the 1700 block and is 1.18 acres in size. The site is currently zoned R-3 (Duplex) and is designated for moderate density residential uses in the Comprehensive Plan. The site is currently vacant. 3. Surrounding zoning and land uses include R-3, Multiple Family, to the north; R-2, Single Family, to the south; R-3, Single Family, to the east; and R-4, Multi -Family, to the west. Land to the north and east is designated for moderate density residential uses in the Comprehensive Plan while the area to the south is designated for single family uses. The Comprehensive Plan designates the area to the west for high density residential uses. 4. The Zoning Ordinance requires 3600 square feet of lot area per unit at Section 18.16.040(C). Accordingly, two duplexes per lot would require a minimum lot size of 14,400 square feet. Each of the three lots is in excess of 17,000 square feet and accordingly more than ample space is provided for the units which the applicants seek to construct. 5. The three lots abut 18th Street N.E. which is unimproved right-of-way. The King County Assessor's Map illustrates the right-of-way to be 60 feet wide. Ordinance No. 4446 July 10, 1990 Page 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 � 11 12 13 Q 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 6. Currently, 18th Street intersects with "M" Street N.E. which is an arterial. The full width of the right-of-way of 18th Street deadends 415 feet from "M" Street and there is not right-of-way provided for a cul-de-sac or a turnaround. 7. The applicant should be required to improve 18th Street to a 1/2 street standard and provide a turnaround at the end of 18th Street. 8. At the time of the public hearing, residents who reside in the single family homes located directly to the south of the site along 17th Street expressed some concern with respect to the development. One witness indicated that the adjacent property owner, Burndale Homes, had permitted the homeowners on 17th Street N.E. to have a strip of land located to the north of their homes approximately 13 feet. The witness described this 13 foot strip of land as having been incorporated into the yards of lots 5 through 12 on 17th Street N.E. located to the southwest of the subject proposal. The witness did not know whether or not there was a recorded easement however the City indicates that the Assessor's Map shows no recorded easement. Another witness residing further to the east along 17th Street N.E. expressed a desire for the City to require the construction of a fence between the duplexes and the single family homes. 9. 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 criteria for a Conditional Use Permit are set forth in Section 18.64.040 of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. The applicant must first establish that the use as proposed will not have an adverse effect upon the area or be more injurious than would any use permitted outright in the district. Duplex uses are already permitted in the district and two duplexes per lot are permitted if a conditional use permit can be established. The development as proposed provides for adequate setbacks Ordinance No. 4446 July 10, 1990 Page 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 C 11 12 13 C 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 and there will not be an adverse effect upon the area in that the area already contains multiple family housing. The required landscaping will adequately buffer the single family homes located to the south of the site and the need for a fence is not shown in light of the fact that there will be a 25 foot rear yard setback behind the duplexes and an additional 10 foot strip of landscaping. 3. 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 since the proposal as submitted complies with the Comprehensive Plan. 4. The applicant must establish that the proposal complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The site plan indicates compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. 5. Finally, the applicant must establish that the proposal will not adversely affect the public infrastructure and that it can be constructed and maintained so as to be harmonious with the general vicinity. The public infrastructure will not be adversely affected and the undersigned that the proposed will be consistent with the other multiple family uses in the area. The orientation of the site plan including but not limited to the setbacks and landscaping will also make the proposal consistent with the single family uses to the south and to the southwest. For each of the above referenced reasons, the recommendation of the Hearing Examiner to the Auburn City Council on this Conditional Use Permit to allow construction of six (6) duplexes on three (3) lots, is approved and affirmed.
