If officers were able to establish probable cause for either possession or discharge of illegal fireworks,they were to cite the appropriate city code. If officers were unable to establish probable cause for a particular individual, and fireworks were present, the fireworks were to be confiscated for destruction. In 2020,the city ordinance was changed to reflect the ability of Officers to issue civil infractions instead of criminal citations for many portions of the related city code. Objectives(Objectives from 2023 were continued in 2024) 1. Continue efforts to improve communication and collaborative efforts with representatives from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe. o Chief Caillier, Assistant Chief Betz and Officer Bush have continued cultivating relationships with the Muckleshoot Tribe through meetings with the Muckleshoot Law and Order Committee. Hailey Mathias was the Fireworks Commissioner and primary point of contact for all issues related to fireworks. Commander Feero provided Hailey's information to Commander Skeen, who was the Commander in Charge of the fireworks plan for 2024. Commander Skeen communicated with Hailey via email and phone numerous times beginning in March of 2024. The purpose of these communications was to discuss the fireworks plan and any changes that may occur at the stands or discharge area compared to 2023. Haily did not express specific concerns related to emphasis patrols or deployment at the stands for July 4`n o The tribe (Hailey) communicated well with the city,giving advanced notice of when the fireworks stands were going to be opened for the year and when fireworks were going to start being sold. The Police Department was able to notify citizens of fireworks related information so citizens could plan accordingly. o The Tribe continued with the same hours of operation for the stands as 2023. The stands and discharge area were open until 2200 Sunday-Thursday and until 0000 on Friday and Saturday. The Tribe planned to maintain the hours of operation from July 4th to 0200 on July 5`h. The Tribe continued their agreement not allowing the discharge of fireworks at the stands after 0200 on July 5th 2. Continue with an active Officer presence and enforcement in the neighborhoods with proactive fireworks patrols and response to 911 complaints of fireworks. o Fireworks emphasis patrols started this year on June 7`h and ran through July 4th o Auburn PD maintained our deployment of six Officers and a Sergeant at the Stands on July 4`n o Auburn PD assigned one Sergeant and six Officers to the north end of the city on July 4th between 1500 and 0100. These officers were also responsible for the city parks and schools in this area. o Auburn PD assigned one Sergeant and six Officers to the south end of the city on July 4th between 1500 and 0100. These officers were also responsible for the city parks and schools in this area. Page 5 of 409 ,NP AUBURN POLICE DEPARTMENT R ,44T 4,11010, Results During the 2024 fireworks emphasis (excluding July 4`h), eleven Officers and three Sergeants worked a total of 189 hours between June 7th and July 3'd. There were eighteen hours (three shifts) that went unfilled. The days that went unfilled were 6/29/24 and 7/3/24 (two shifts). This may be due to the 29 h being the weekend before July 4th and the 3'd having the Emerald Downs firework event. On July 4`h, twelve Officers and two Sergeants were assigned to fireworks emphasis patrols throughout the city, a decrease from sixteen Officers and three Sergeants in 2023. Officers worked as two person units utilizing marked units with the purpose of being highly visible within the community. The deployment was split into six officer elements, supervised by a Sergeant for effective command and control. Deployments were split into north and south with each being responsible for the city parks and schools within their geographical area of responsibility. Six Officers and one Sergeant were deployed to the fireworks stands for a uniformed police presence and crowd management in and around the discharge area. Several thousand citizens patronized the firework stands and discharge area throughout the day. There were no significant injuries that Auburn PD were made aware of on the evening of July 4`h. There were no significant fireworks related injuries at the stands during the week leading up to the holiday. However,there was a small brush fire near the Muckleshoot discharge area on July 3'd There were no reported injuries to officers this year. The peak activity hours for fireworks-related calls occurred between 9:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. Emphasis units secured at 0145 hours. The stands were shut down by the fireworks emphasis officers in coordination with Hailey Mathias and fireworks security members, at 1120 hours. It took approximately two hours to effectively clear the discharge area and parking lot. Page 6 of 409 . .

The city parks were a popular area for citizens to congregate and discharge fireworks. At one point, emphasis officers were called to Isaac Evans Park where a male subject was reported to be throwing fireworks at people. This person was subsequently arrested. Although this incident occurred during the daytime, physically closing parks at dusk may decrease the potential for trespassing within the park with fireworks. Additionally,turning on sprinklers in the parks may also deter people from congregating in the parks to discharge fireworks after daylight hours. As in years past, it is highly suggested that barricades, closing physical gates, and additional signage are posted by park employees reminding community members of the zero-tolerance stance regarding fireworks and/or trespassing in parks after dusk. These should be considered in the future. There was an emphasis on education leading up to July 4th. There was a news story published online by King 5 News that stated fireworks were legal to ignite in the City of Auburn between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. on July 4th. However, it did not offer context as to legal v illegal fireworks or areas where fireworks cannot be discharged (i.e. public parks). This information was brought to Auburn PD's attention by a concerned citizen and educational social media posts were sent by the city and APD to offer context. This should continue going forward. Traffic on Auburn Way South was backed up for most of the afternoon and evening due to the left turn lane into the stands/discharge area. Additionally, vehicles were parking on the right (curb) lanes of Auburn Way South at times. Auburn Traffic units were in contact with city engineers to work through the light cycles to mitigate traffic. However, the sheer volume of vehicles and the spacing/timing of the lights were overwhelmed in the afternoon hours. Auburn Traffic Officers assisted with the increased traffic flow in the city by responding to traffic related calls for service. In total the traffic unit responded to the following: 12 Total Calls (4 collisions, 3 traffic complaints, 3 assist calls, 1 hangup, 1 follow up). All the call responses by traffic units occurred before 2300 hours. At 2320 hours,Auburn Traffic units assisted with controlling the Muckleshoot Plaza Intersection and the discharge area outlet road until traffic was funneled out of the area. Traffic maintained control of these areas until approximately 0120 hours when the discharge area was effectively shut down. Based on this information, it would be beneficial to split our traffic unit deployment (i.e. 2 Officers work 1100-2100, 4 Officers work 1500- 0100)to maximize response to traffic related calls during a longer period on a day Auburn experiences increased vehicle traffic flow. This would also continue to support emphasis units when clearing the discharge area and traffic flow in the late evening hours.

In the evening hours, Saars Super Saver, was allowing citizens to utilize their parking lot as a discharge area to light off fireworks. When Officers responded there were approximately 100+ citizens in the parking lot participating in the discharge of legal and illegal fireworks. The security guards and management of Saars were aware of the ongoing activity and were outside watching the citizens. Several small fires began because of the fireworks discharging in the parking lot. Emphasis units had to clear the parking lot to allow VRFA to enter and put out the fires that had started. While clearing the parking lot, several citizens remarked to Auburn Officers that they believed they were allowed to discharge fireworks in the parking lot, because the Saars Manager was aware and condoned the behavior. One citizen told an emphasis officer that this is an annual event that they participate in and has been occurring for the past three years. In the future outreach should be conducted with Saars to educate them on the ordinances within the city to gain compliance in our zero-tolerance stance. Should Saars continue to allow this activity in their parking lot on July 4`h, city code enforcement may look at possible violations to levy on the business to gain compliance in the future. Currently, the Auburn PD provides staffing to the fireworks stands as a part of our emphasis deployment. However, this event presents unique challenges to our department for planning and staffing. As such, Auburn PD is exploring the possibility of removing our deployed officers from the stands and allowing the Tribe to have more input on the staffing level and planning for traffic and stands security. In doing so these positions would become extra duty assignments hired by the tribe for the special event and voluntary to sign up by officers as they wish. This redeployment would potentially free up officers for emphasis patrols within the city to address additional problem areas. Page 11 of 409 AUBURN POLICE DEPARTMENT x * What Went Well For 2024, the Auburn Police Department continued to focus on areas that had the highest volume of firework complaints in the past and shifted emphasis enforcement to the areas of most need. It appears this approach had a positive impact due to the low firework call volume (89) on July 4th and the lowest call volume during the fireworks season (205) in the last several years. As in years past, VRFA shared our assigned dispatch channel, facilitating communications between police and fire personnel. Fire personnel were invited to the Auburn PD briefing at 1500 hours on July 4`h. Two VRFA personnel attended the briefing and were provided with the operations plan for the day as well as contact information for the Sergeants and Commander Skeen. Although Auburn Officers assigned to the stands were not collocated with VRFA units, a casualty collection point and meeting location were pre-determined and briefed to all units to enhance overall response to emergent events at the discharge area. Cooperation with the Tribe continued. Tribal representatives for the stands were in constant contact with the Sergeant assigned to that area,who then communicated directly with Commander Skeen. This year, Auburn PD incorporated the use of SpidrTech software to address the large call volume regarding fireworks. The software sends an automated message to citizens who call 911 to let them know police would respond when available but may be delayed due to the increase in call volume. This appeared to reduce the number of citizens calling back to report the same complaint and address their concerns with the increased call response times. This should continue going forward.

Should the Franchisee fail, for any reason, to provide information regarding its long-range plans or planned Franchisee Facilities upon the City's request, then the City is under no obligation to coordinate with, account for or authorize their facilities in future public way projects or the City's long-range plans.

In Pierce County,the City's primary residential zone is R-2 Residential Moderate which for purposes of this capacity analysis aligns with the 80-120%AMI range.This zone can adequately accommodate the total housing need of 112,however AMI below 80%is not accounted for in this analysis.As indicated earlier,the housing target for the Pierce County portion of Auburn is only 112 housing units and as a result the city does not intend to rezone small areas of land in order to satisfy AMI requirements since actual development is unpredictable.The R-2 Residential Moderate zone can accommodate middle housing,single unit detached housing,and ADUs that can realistically serve a range of incomes,and the city will continue to provide flexibility in the development types allowed in this part of the city to best accommodate the full range of AMI levels. An estimated 1,852 new Accessory Dwelling Units(ADUs)are accounted for prior to rezoning,as these developments are currently allowed in various zones are expected to occur naturally over the next 20-years. In total,10%of new ADUs are planned for in the 50-80%AMI range,80%in the 80-120%AMI range,and 10%in the greater than 120%AMI range.The high- density and moderate-density land uses where ADUs are primarily expected are found in throughout the city.

Between 2010 and 2020,the average monthly rent in Auburn increased by 49 percent($459 per month). In this same period, the median sales price for a home increased by 88 percent ($195,550) based on 2017-2021 American Community Survey Data. Of the approximate 15,507 renter households in Auburn, more than half(53 percent) are cost- burdened, and more than one-quarter (27 percent) are severely cost-burdened. About a quarter of households are considered unaffordable for renters and homeowners in Auburn according to state and federal affordability thresholds. While Auburn is more affordable than other cities in King County, housing is unaffordable for most households.

Auburn's racial and ethnic makeup is more diverse than that of King County and Washington as a whole,with 48% of residents identifying as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color(BIPOC), compared with 42% in King County and 34%statewide. Auburn's diverse communities may have different housing, neighborhood amenities, and service needs. For example, outreach conducted with the Hispanic community has shown that most would recommend Auburn as a place to live for family and friends, and though residents wanted their children to grow up and remain in Auburn, they desired improved security and traffic calming. Outreach participants were interested in helping to improve their neighborhood and in volunteering. Figure 2.

These communities are about 50 percent renters and 50 percent homeowners,while those identifying as white are 64 percent homeowners in Auburn. The gap in homeownership is addressed through thoughtful and effective policy including increasing affordable ownership opportunities by encouraging diverse housing stock. Overall,the Auburn community spends a greater amount of income on rental housing costs compared to King County, with 51 percent of renters in the very low or extremely low-income bands(<50%AMI)in Auburn and 39 percent in King County.While Auburn has a naturally occurring affordable housing stock of 55 percent serving very-low and extremely- low incomes,this means there is only 11 percent additional capacity available to serve extremely-low and very low- incomes. If housing cost trends in King County continue,and Auburn housing prices in Auburn continue to rise,the amount of naturally affordable housing is expected to decrease. Again, preservation strategies and housing policies supporting a range of development types is key while encouraging housing growth. Planning Approach Auburn's preferred Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map sufficiently addresses housing needs for all economic segments of the Auburn community. The Comprehensive Land Use map considers adequate capacity for housing and employment targets and housing needs by income level through a Centers approach. Centers in Auburn are high-intensity and density cores characterized as primarily as mixed-use areas served by Middle Housing and commercial development. Most new housing is planned to be built in the neighborhood centers and downtown. More information on the Comprehensive Land Use Map and future land uses can be found in the Land Use Element, Chapter 1 of the Comprehensive Plan. Housing Choices for All Central to planning for future housing is providing a range of housing types to choose from which facilitates home ownership across a wide range of households and affordability levels. Consideration "Middle Housing" is key to increasing housing types in Auburn. Middle Housing,typically attached to one-another, provide options to increase residential density in existing residential neighborhoods and are designed at the scale and overall aesthetic of these areas. In 2023,the Washington State Legislature passed HB 1110 which requires jurisdictions to incorporate Middle Housing into Comprehensive Plans and related development regulations. This Housing Element, and updated city code, fully complies with HB 1110 requirements by allowing for townhomes, duplexes,triplexes, fourplexes, fiveplexes, sixplexes, stacked flats, cottage housing, courtyard housing in residential zones throughout the city. In addition,the City also acknowledges Accessory Dwelling Units (or ADUs) as an important piece of Middle Housing , complying with HB 1337 legislation allowing ADUs in residential zones throughout the City. Middle City of Auburn Housing Epmaent 6F.7 of 409 Housing, in combination with Mixed-Use Development, are critical development types that enable the City to meet future housing needs and provide a variety of housing options for current and future residents. Housing and Employment Targets Based on legislative changes, communities must plan for housing and employment targets allocated by Countywide Planning Policies (CPP). These growth targets are consistent with PSRC Vision 2025 requirements and originate at the state level. King County CPP, and the related 2021 King County Urban Growth Capacity Report, identifies targets of 12,000 net new residential units and 19,520 net new jobs between 2019-2044. Pierce County CPP identifies 112 net new residential units and 0 net new jobs targets by 2044. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Zoning Maps and policies adopted in the Comprehensive Plan demonstrate adequate capacity and strategies in order to accommodate these housing and employment targets. r f = IIIill 1 , i I Middle Housing:Example of a Duplex from Auburn Housing Action Plan Implementation project,2023 Imagine Auburn I Comprehensive Plan Housing EpQ�i I 80f 409 Housing Need by Income Level The Housing Needs and Characteristics Assessment projects housing need by income level using Area Median Income(AMI) bands. This assessment, as required by the Department of Commerce in coordination with counties, identifies the number of units necessary to serve varying AMI levels and for Emergency Housing. These figures were provided by both King and Pierce Counties using their own methodologies. The full methodology for the projections is provided in the assessment. As shown in Table 1,Auburn has a need for housing primarily at the 80% or greater AMI and for less than 30%AMI. Policies in this Element describe how Auburn plans to address these housing needs.

Barriers that limit the development of affordable housing, including emergency housing, such as allowing appropriate housing types to serve various income levels, permitting a range of development serving all income levels in various zones, and development-related bonsues related to inclusion of affordable housing are included in this Element and in Auburn City Code. The Housing Needs by Average Median Income (AMI) analysis discussed in the next section describes how the city is ensuring adequate zoned capacity and development types to accommodate a range of affordable housing. Supportive and Emergency Housing Supportive housing is defined by Washington State in RCW 35.70A.30 as either Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)or Non-Permanent Supportive Housing(non-PSH). Households earning below 30% of the AMI are considered extremely low income and severely cost-burdened. In Auburn by 2044 the city needs an additional 2,389 supportive housing units for households earning below 30%AMI. Permanent supportive housing includes supportive services such as health care and housing assistance.Auburn needs 812 additional permanent supportive housing units by 2044 in King County(King County CPPs) and another 20 in Pierce County(Pierce County CPPs). Non-permanent supportive housing is to provide temporary or transitional shelter and supportive services to those struggling to stay housed. Auburn needs 1,543 additional non-permanent supportive housing units by 2044 in King County(King County CPPs)and 14 in Pierce County(Pierce County CPPs). Auburn also has a severe shortage of emergency housing beds compared to the projected need in 2044.As of 2020,there are 66 emergency/temporary housing beds citywide and 2,300 are needed by 2044 (King and Pierce CPPs). An additional 115 beds a year will need to be built between 2024-2044.

The only exception is the >120%Average Median Income (AMI) category,which includes primarily low-density housing. However, this AMI category is not required to be met under HB 1220 requirements as high-income earners are represented in this group and can also purchase moderate density housing options as well. In Pierce County, the City's primary residential zone is R-2 Residential Low which for purposes of this capacity analysis aligns with the 80-120%AMI range. This zone can adequately accommodate the total housing need of 112, however AMI below 80% is not accounted for in this analysis.As indicated earlier, the housing target for the Pierce County portion of Auburn is only 112 housing units and as a result the city does not intend to rezone small areas of land in order to satisfy AMI requirements since actual development is unpredictable. The R-2 Residential Low zone can accommodate middle housing, single unit detached housing, and ADUs that can realistically serve a range of incomes, and the city will continue to provide flexibility in the development types allowed in this part of the city to best accommodate the full range of AMI levels. An estimated 1,852 new Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are accounted for prior to rezoning, as these developments are currently allowed in various zones are expected to occur naturally over the next 20-years. In total, 10%of new ADUs are planned for in the 50-80%AMI range, 80% in the 80-120%AMI range, and 10% in the greater than 120%AMI range. The high-density and moderate-density land uses where ADUs are primarily expected are found in throughout the city. Housing Capacity in Future Land Use Total Housing Capacity Residential capacity by zone is based primarily on the assumptions outlined Buildable Lands Report process in 2021, updates to reflect changes to zoning and density assumptions since that time. Downtown Urban Center mixed-use development assumes a distribution of 75% residential and 25%commercial,whereas the R-NM Neighborhood Mixed Use assumes a 50-50%split for mixed uses both vertically and horizontally. The residential capacity estimates accommodating 46,070 housing units at max buildable capacity and 33,655 net new housing units, exceeding the 12,112 net new housing unit target. This increase is due largely to Middle Housing policies consistent with HB 1110 which allow for Middle Housing in all residentially zoned areas.The R2 — Residential Low zone is found widely throughout the city.

Imagine Auburn I Comprehensive Plan Economic Development Elmtel8w1 of 409 Planning Framework Vision for 2044 To achieve this vision,the city will focus on strategic partnerships,targeted investments, and inclusive policies and programs. In 2044, Auburn will be a city where people want to start their careers, raise their families, and enjoy all that life has to offer. It will be a place where businesses want to locate and visitors want to spend time. Our vision for the future is one in which Auburn is a model of sustainable living, where residents, business owners, and workers enjoy a high quality of life while also reducing their impact on the planet. We are working to create an efficient economy that minimizes waste and maximizes resource efficiency. Conditions and Trends Auburn Profile Auburn is a vibrant and growing city located in the Pacific Northwest region,situated about 15 miles north of Tacoma and 20 miles south of Seattle and is part of the greater Seattle metropolitan area. Most of the city is in King County, with a small portion extending into Pierce County.Auburn is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in Washington State and shares its borders with Federal Way, Kent, Pacific,Algona, Sumner and unincorporated King County. The Muckleshoot Indian Reservation lies partly within and partly adjacent to the City. Auburn is known for its natural beauty, strong economy, and diverse community, offering residents and visitors a high quality of life and a sense of belonging. The city boasts a thriving business community, top rated schools, and ample recreational opportunities, including access to the Green River, White River and the Cascade Mountains. Auburn also has a rich history and cultural diversity reflected in its many festivals, events, and community organizations. Auburn is a city that is constantly evolving and improving,yet always maintains its small-town charm and is a place where people come to start their careers, raise their families, and enjoy all that life has to offer. Household and Income Characteristics In 2020,Auburn was estimated to have 29,220 households, an increase of 12%since 2010. The average household size was 2.75, larger than the King County average of 2.43. This is likely due to the larger share of family households in Auburn, at 68%, compared with 59% in King County, and a smaller share of householders living alone. This reflects Auburn's suburban development patterns compared with some of the denser urban areas in Seattle and its closer-in suburbs.About 60%of Auburn's households are homeowners and 40%are renters, a slightly lower share of homeowners than Washington as a whole, but higher than the King County average.

As shown in Figure 1,Auburn's incomes are on par with statewide and Pierce County averages but lag behind the higher incomes of King County households primarily as a result of Seattle and Eastside residents. Rental households in Auburn earn significantly less than ownership households- the average renter household earns $54,396 compared with $98,153 for ownership households. Auburn's BIPOC households are more likely to be renters. Around 46% of renters are non-white residents, compared to 33%of homeowners. These types of intersections of income, race, access to housing and wealth-building are important considerations when planning to accommodate the needs of all Auburn residents.

Despite a decrease in manufacturing employment in the 199Os and early 2000s,13%of Auburn residents were currently employed in the industry in 2019. Since the recession of 2008,the number of Auburn residents employed in health care, retail, and construction have increased substantially and the overall diversity of jobs worked by Auburn residents has increased, reflecting the rapidly increasing population and shifts in demographics discussed previously.

The top ten employers in Auburn currently account for about 23%of the jobs in the City, down from 55% in 2011 and 85% in 2002, further demonstrating the increasing diversity of business activity in Auburn in recent decades Figure 4-Top Industry Sectors in Auburn(2002-2019) Manufacturing -Construction Retail Trade -Wholesale Trade Transportation/Warehousing 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 0 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Source:US Census On The Map Imagine Auburn I Comprehensive Plan Economic Development EIrpA 6 210f 409 As of 2019,there were about 46,383 jobs located in Auburn. The top sectors are shown in Figure 4 along with their change over the past two decades. Despite decreases in the manufacturing industry from 1990 and 2000 noted in Auburn's previous (2014) comprehensive plan,the sector has seen rapid increases since the 2008 financial crisis and now accounts for over 20%of jobs in the City. Other notable shifts include a rapid increase in construction jobs over the past several years as well as a decrease in retail which corresponds to an increase in wholesale trade, perhaps reflecting increasing patterns of online rather than in-store shopping. Daily Inflow and Outflow As of 2019, 5,288 Auburn residents, or 15% of the population both lived and worked in the City. The remaining 85% of those who worked in Auburn commuted from outside the City. As shown in Figure 5, there are more people who work in Auburn and live elsewhere than those who live in Auburn and work elsewhere. This results in an increased pool of residents and employees who engage with City services and businesses. Although this data predates the COVID-19 pandemic, the relatively large share of in-person manufacturing and retail jobs in the City suggests that the commuting patterns may have been less affected by the pandemic in Auburn compared with other areas which have a higher share of office jobs.
