WITHIN THE CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, CHANGING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION THEREOF FROM R-2 (SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) TO C-1 (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL) AND AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL. WHEREAS, Application No. REZ0002-91CP has been submitted to the Council of the City of Auburn, Washington, by the DOCTOR'S CLINIC ASSOCIATION, requesting the rezone and Comprehensive Plan Map amendment of the real property hereinafter described in Section 2 of the Ordinance, which application was dated April 25, 1991; and, WHEREAS, said request above referred to, was referred to the Planning Commission for study and public hearing thereon; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, based upon staff review, held a public hearing to consider said petition in the Council Chambers of the Auburn City Hall, on August 6, 1991, at the conclusion of which the Planning Commission recommended the approval of the request for rezone and Comprehensive Plan amendment of said property based upon the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law: 41 Ordinance No. 4519 October 8, 1991 Page 1 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 FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The applicant is requesting a rezone from R-2 (Single Family) to C-1 (Light Commercial). A Comprehensive Map amendment is also required in that the parcel is designated for single family uses as well as it lies within a designated single family neighborhood. 2. The parcel is 7800 square feet and contains one single family home. The applicant is proposing to remove the home and construct a 5200± square foot medical building which would complement an existing 12,775 square foot medical building. 3. To the west of the rezone are single family homes that front on 12th Street. To the south, across 12th Street, are single family homes as well. The single family homes are within a designated single family neighborhood as illustrated in the Comprehensive Plan. 4. To the north of the proposed rezone is a small commercial shopping center that has frontage on Auburn Way South. A secondary access is provided to the shopping center from a private easement that connects to 12th Street. The private easement lies on the east side of the lot proposed to be rezoned. 5. As part of the project, the applicant is proposing to locate the new building on the west side of the private easement that connects the shopping center to 12th Street. There would be a 40 foot separation between the existing building and the new building. 6. Parking to serve the new building would be provided by a 90 space parking lot that lies on the east side of the existing medical clinic. 7. The architect, representing the applicant, testified at the August 6, 1991 public hearing that the existing single family home was not livable and it was not economically feasible to remodel the home to make it livable. 8. Constructing a new single family home may not be practical given its location adjacent to commercial uses. 9. Related Comprehensive Plan Findings: Ordinance No. 4519 October S, 1991 Page 2 i 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ® 11 12 13 Oi 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Objective 3.3: To provide flexibility in areas where a transition from existing uses to planned uses is appropriate. Policy 3.3.1.: Contract zoning can be used to manage the transition between existing uses and future uses. Contract zoning allows new uses to be conditioned in a manner which controls potential conflicts during such transition. Contract zoning may be particularly useful as a timing devise to ensure that the necessary public facilities are available to support new development. Goal 18: To provide for an orderly transition from older residential areas that are no longer viable, to other uses. Policy 18.0.1.: The management of areas in transition from existing residential to a planned non-residential use, should balance the needs of existing residents with the need to accommodate new uses. 10. Based upon the testimony presented by the applicant at the public hearing before the Council on September 16, 1991, the Council makes the additional Finding of Fact that the hours of operation of the medical clinic on the rezoned property should be limited. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW It is concluded that the Comprehensive Plan Map amendment and rezone may be approved based upon the following: 1. A C-1 zone would be consistent with the existing C-1 zone on the north and east. The rezone would add to and complement an existing medical facility. 2. 3. 4. only a building would be constructed. No additional parking or access is needed. The existing home is unlivable and too expensive to remodel. The lot shall be constructed such that it is part of the existing medical facility.

Consideration should be given to ensure the new use is compatible with the existing single family neighborhood. 6. Traffic safety measures should be implemented to protect pedestrians using the new medical building.
