4. The Auburn Food Bank will provide 1.5 full time employees at the daytime facility. As a
result, daytime services will increase parking demand by as many as 2 parking spaces.
Auburn Food Bank employees/volunteers will utilize parking at the Phoenix Rising
facility to the north. Parking supply at Phoenix Rising is greater than demand due to the
City parking standards requiring more spaces than are typically needed. This is a result of
the population that are housed at the Group Residence Facility and that many residents
don't own vehicles.Nighttime parking will he needed for employees/volunteers who will
operate out of the Common Building at night. There will he one additional employee that
will be working during the nighttime hours at the Common Building. Because there is
less demand for parking during nighttime hours, the existing parking supply at Phoenix
Rising provides an ample number of spaces.
5. In addition to the daily services that are provided at 2536 "I" St NE, there are occasional
mobile services that will come to the Phoenix Rising site. Mobile services will utilize the
existing parking facility adjacent to the Common Building.
6. A Public Notice was sent out to surrounding properties and the property was posted with
a proposed land use notice sign. One comment was submitted by a neighbor in regards to
there not being sufficient parking to serve the existing :facilities and the new temporary
uses would only further exacerbate the parking issues.
7. Chapter 18.46A ACC contains standards and regulations for Temporary Use Permits. The
proposed temporary use is required to comply with these standards and regulations. The
approval criteria for a Temporary Use Permit is contained in ACC 18.46A.080. See the
following Conclusions section.
Page 13 of 18
8. The amended application rotates the building 90-degrees and places it closer to `I' St.
NE.. The Applicant has also requested to reduce the setbacks in the front and rear by up to
4 ft.
RI. CONCLUSIONS:
ACC 18.46A.080 states that the Planning Director or designee may approve, or modify and
approve, application for a Temporary Use Permit if it meets all the criteria of this section.
What follows ate the criteria (in italics) and a staff analysis of how the proposal compares to
the criteria:
1. The temporary use will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare, nor injurious to properly or improvements in the immediate vicinity.
Staff Analysis:
T.he request for temporary day and night services is a joint venture by the City of Auburn,
who is responsible for obtaining the.necessary permits and constructing the facilities on
2536 "I" St. NE;Valley Cities Counseling, who owns the properties and will operate the
night services on 915 16' St. NE; and, the Auburn Food Bank who will operate the day
services at 2536 ".1" St. NE. There are several.facilities in the immediate area that are
available to the homeless and underserved populations in Auburn. The addition of these
temporary facilities will further help these vulnerable populations by providing additional
services and temporary housing. It is anticipated that these services will be an
enhancement to the surrounding area as well as the City in general.
Staff finds the request meets this criterion.
2. The temporary use is compatible with the purpose of this title, and the specific zoning
district in which it will be located.
Staff Analysis:
Per ACC 18.46A.010(A), the intent of the Temporary Uses Chapter is to:
"...provide an administrative approval process whereby the City may permit uses to
locate within die City on an interim basis without requiring full compliance with the
development standards for the applicable zoning district..."
Per ACC 18.07.010, the intent of the R-20 Residential zone is to:
"...provide for multiple-falnily residential development and is jiii'ther intended as a
residential zone primarily of multiple-family residences, except as specifically provided
elsewhere in this chapter. A related consideration is to make it possible to more
efficiently and economically design and install all physical public.service facilities in
terms of size and capacity to adequately and permanently meet needs resr.dting tram a
defined intensity of land use."
Page 14 of 18
•
Approval of this Temporary Use Permit would allow for placement of temporary day and
night services and physical improvements consisting of a temporary portable building,
ADA pathways, and portable restroom and wash facilities. This temporary use will
support the existing facilities that serve the underserved populations discussed above.
The amended site plan rotates the building 90-degrees and also requests reduced setbacks
in the front and rear by up to 4 ft. The setbacks required are 1.0 ft. in the front and 20 ft. in.
_the rear. The Temporary Use Code provisions (ACC 18.46A(A)) state that "...the city_____ __ _
may permit i.r,ses to locate within the city on an interim basis without requiring full
compliance with the development standards for the applicable zoning district...". In
addition, the property to the south(adjacent to rear setback) is also owned by Valley
Cities: as such. Staff finds that allowing a minor reduction in the setbacks would not be
detrimental to the surrounding properties.
Staff finds the request meets this criterion.
3. The temporary use is compatible in intensity and appearance with existing land uses in
the immediate vicinity.
Staff Analysis:
The proposed temporary use is consistent with, and compatible with surrounding
properties. The night services in the existing Common Building will serve the same at-
risk people that currently use the facility as will the new facilities that will be constructed
on the south side of 26th St. NE. The new temporary portable building will not be out of
character with surrounding buildings in bulk or size.
Staff finds the request meets this criterion.
4. Structuresproposed in association with a temporary use permit will comply with the
