ORDINANCE NO. 6 6 7 7
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AUBURN, WASHINGTON, AMENDING SECTIONS 18.02.070,
18.35.020, 18.35.030, 18.35.040, OF THE AUBURN CITY CODE
AND THE CITY ZONING MAP, CREATING A NEW OPEN SPACE
ZONING DISTRICT
WHEREAS, by Ordinance No. 6584, on December 14, 2015 the City of Auburn
adopted a new Comprehensive Plan that establishes a new land use map designation of
"Open Space" by map and text; and
WHEREAS, under the existing comprehensive plan document structure, each
Comprehensive Plan land use designation is implemented by at least one zoning district
(zone) that addresses the allowed uses and the zoning development standards.
Currently, there is no implementing Open Space zoning district in the Auburn City Code;
and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this amendment to the City zoning code and zoning
map is to create a zoning district that implements the Open Space Land Use Designation
of the Comprehensive Plan Map; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 36.70A the proposed code language was
transmitted to the Washington State Department of Commerce on April 20, 2017. The
transmittal initiated the 60-day state agency review period. The 60-day state agency
comment period expired on June 19, 2017. The City did not receive any state agency
comments.
WHEREAS, the code amendment was subject to environmental review process
under the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). A Determination of Non-
Ordinance No. 6677
January 26, 2018
Page 1
Significance (DNS) was issued June 13, 2017 and the City observed a fifteen-day public
comment period; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the code and map amendment
and duly deliberated the effect of the text and map amendment on public and private
property owners at its December 6, 2016, January 4, 2017, March 7, 2017, and April 4,
2017 Planning Commission meetings; and
WHEREAS, the City received three public comment letters in response to notice
of the public hearing, and one additional notice prior to the Planning Commission public
hearing; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed
amendments at the July 5, 2017 Planning Commission meeting, and requested that staff
conduct additional noticing efforts to Andrew and Elena Cherny and coordination with the
Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT); and
WHEREAS, at the continued public hearing on August 8, 2017, after the close the
public hearing the Planning Commission forwarded a recommendation for approval to the
City Council; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 6667, pertaining to the 2017 annual Comprehensive
Plan amendments, modified the land use designation of numerous parcels that were
included in the proposed "open space zoning district map amendment. Thus, prompting
their removal from the proposed open space zoning map amendment; and
WHEREAS, per Auburn City Code Section 18.01.050, adopted under Ordinance
No. 6667 (on December 18, 2017) the City of Auburn recognizes and acknowledges that
Ordinance No. 6677
January 26, 2018
Page 2
the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe has jurisdiction and land use control over Indian Lands".
The designation of city zoning and land use regulations that might appear to affect any
Indian Lands does not, and is not intended to, usurp or exercise land use control over
such lands. Any such city regulations are intended to identify what zoning or land-use
provisions would apply to such lands were they not under Indian jurisdiction, or were the
land to change in ownership or jurisdictional character. Until those circumstances change
for such lands, the city regulations shall be for informational purposes only; and
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN as follows:
Section 1. Amendment to City Code. That Section 18.02.070 of the Auburn
City Code be and the same hereby is amended to read as follows:
18.02.070 Establishment of zones.
A. The city is divided into the following classes of zones:
1. RC, residential conservancy zone (one dwelling unit per four acres);
2. R-1, residential zone (one dwelling unit per acre);
3. R-5, residential zone (five dwelling units per acre);
4. R-7, residential zone (seven dwelling units per acre);
5. R-10, residential zone (10 dwelling units per acre);
6. R-16, residential zone (16 dwelling units per acre);
7. R-20, residential zone (20 dwelling units per acre);
8. RMHC, manufactured/mobile home community zone;
9. RO, residential office zone and RO-H, residential office-hospital zone;
10. C-N, neighborhood shopping zone;
11. C-1, light commercial zone;
12. C-2, central business zone;
13. C-3, heavy commercial zone;
14. M-1, light industrial zone;
15. M-2, heavy industrial zone;
16. BP, business park zone;
17. LF, airport landing field zone;
18. P-1, public use zone;
19. UNC, unclassified use zone;
Ordinance No. 6677
January 26, 2018
Page 3
20. I, institutional use zone;
21. EP, environmental park zone;
22. DUC, downtown urban center zone;
23. OS, open space zone.
B. The zones set out in Subsection A of this Section are established as the
designations, locations, and boundaries thereof as set forth and indicated on the zoning
map.
C. The intent statement for each zone set forth in this title shall be used to
guide the application of the zones to all lands in the City of Auburn. The intent
statements shall guide interpretation and application of land use regulations within
the zones, and any change to the range of allowed uses within each zone through
amendment to this title. (Ord. 6245 § 2, 2009.)
Section 2. Amendment to City Code. That Section 18.35.020 of the Auburn
City Code is amended to read as follows:
18.35.020 Intent of special purpose zones.
A. General. This section describes the intent for each of the city's special purpose
zones. These intent statements may be used to guide the interpretation of the regulations
associated with each zone.
B. RO and RO-H Residential Office and Residential Office-Hospital Zone. The
RO and RO-H is intended primarily to accommodate small-scale business and
professional offices, medical and dental clinics, and banks and similar financial institutions
at locations where they are compatible with residential uses. Some retail and personal
services may be permitted if supplemental to the other uses allowed in the zone. This
zone is intended for those areas that are in transition from residential to commercial uses
along arterials or near the hospital. Conversion of residential uses to commercial uses is
geared towards encouraging adaptive re-use of existing single-family structures that
continue to appear in accord with the single-family residential character. The RO-H
designation is to be used exclusively for the hospital area, located in the vicinity of 2nd
Street NE and Auburn Avenue, and is intended to be used for medical and related uses
and those uses compatible with the medical community
C. P-1 Public Use Zone. The P-1 zone is intended to provide for the
appropriate location and development of public uses that serve the cultural, educational,
recreational, and public service needs of the community.
D. I Institutional Zone. The I zone is intended to provide an area wherein
educational, governmental, theological, recreational, cultural and other public and quasi-
public uses may be allowed to develop. It is further intended these areas be significant in
scope which will allow a combination of uses which may not be permitted outright within
other zones. This district is not intended to include those smaller or singular public
uses which are consistent with and permitted in other zones.
E. OS Open Space Zone. The OS zone is intended to providefor land uses
that tend to be managed in a largely undeveloped character, including passive parks,
Ordinance No. 6677
January 26,2018
Page 4
watersheds, natural and urban conservancy shoreline areas, significant wildlife habitats,
large stormwater detention ponds or floodplain ponds, utility corridors with public access,
and areas with significant development restrictions. Park lands included in the Open
Space zone tends to be predominately passive in character and with relatively fewer
developed facilities than parks included in the Institutional zone. Private sites containing
critical areas or shorelines may be included.. (Ord. 6434 § 1, 2012.)
Section 3. Amendment to City Code. That Section 18.35.030 of the Auburn City
Code be and the same hereby is amended to read as follows:
