Background for Motion: Background Summary: Home Occupations have long held a place in Auburn's zoning framework, first appearing in the City's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (No. 1041) in 1953. At that time, the Ordinance recognized the need to permit certain gainful activities within residences located in designated residential zones. These early provisions laid the foundation for a more structured approach to regulating small-scale, home-based businesses. In 1987, Ordinance No. 4229 established a dedicated Chapter for home occupations, significantly expanding the range of permitted uses, administrative processes, and operational requirements. This evolution marked Auburn's recognition of the growing role of home-based enterprises in the local economy. More recently, the State Legislature enacted House Bill (HB) 5290, which standardizes timelines for local government actions across various types of project permit applications. The intent of HB 5290 is to promote timely, predictable procedures for determining application completeness and conformance with development regulations. Home occupations permitted under Chapter 18.60 of the Auburn City Code (ACC) are particularly well-suited to align with HB 5290's administrative efficiency, given their streamlined approval process. To further this alignment, Chapter 14.03 was revised to establish a Type I decision process for Special Home Occupations, alongside a Type III process where applicable. These updates reinforce Auburn's commitment to procedural clarity while maintaining local authority over land use and development decisions. The City of Auburn, vested with regulatory authority over community development, actively manages Page 70 of 110 land use issues through planning, mitigation, and enforcement. As part of ongoing efforts to modernize its Code, staff has proposed a comprehensive update to the home occupation regulations. Proposed Amendments Include: • Revisions to Existing Sections: 1. 14.03.010 — Type I decisions 2. 18.60.020 — Requirements 3. 18.60.030 — Exemptions 4. 18.60.040 — Special home occupation permit 5. 18.60.050 — Prohibited home occupation businesses These changes reflect the nature of home occupations—often small-scale businesses, personal services, or office functions—which are sensitive to cost and time constraints and generally pose fewer community impacts than larger developments or conditional uses. The proposed amendments were presented to the Planning Commission during its regular meeting on August 5, 2025, and at the Special Meeting on September 16, 2025, during which Public Hearings were held.

Background for Motion: Background Summary: The City has adopted the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) as part of its Municipal Code to provide minimum standards for the maintenance of existing buildings, structures, and property. Since adoption, the numbering and format of certain sections in the City Code have been amended and reorganized. As a result, the citations to the IPMC contained in the City Code are now outdated or incorrect. To maintain consistency, clarity, and enforceability, it is necessary to update the City Code to align the referenced sections with the correct current IPMC section references. This action ensures that enforcement staff, property owners, and the public have accurate references to applicable Code provisions, reducing confusion and potential challenges in application. Staff is proposing to amend Sections 15.20.020, 15.20.030,15.20.040, 15.20.050, 15.20.060, and 15.20.070 of the Auburn City Code to conform with Washington State's adopted code sections.
