Attachments to this agenda bill include: Additional proposed revisions since he Planning Commission recommendation; email and map from CPM#1 applicant explaining their revised proposal limiting housing types in 20 acres; Finance Department memorandum on Six rv-ear CFP changes (P/T#4). Administrative Recommendation: City Council to conduct a public hearing on year 2004 Comprehensive Plan amendments. Following the public hearing, City Council to provide staff direction on the proposed amendments so that the adopting ordinance can be brought forward for adoption at the City Council's December 20, 2004 meeting. I Date: November 30, 2004 Budget Impact:: Background Summary: The City of Auburn adopted a growth management Comprehensive Plan in 1995 in response to the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requirements, as amended. The Auburn Comprehensive Plan has been amended annually each year since then. Comprehensive plan amendments can be initiated by private citizens (privately-initiated) and by the City of Auburn (City-initiated). This year there is one (1) privately-initiated plan map amendment (CPM #1) and four (4) City-initiated map amendments (CPM #2 through CPM #5). There are five (5) Policy/Text (PIT) amendments consisting of school district capital facilities plans (Auburn (P/T#1), Kent (P/T#2) and Dieringer (P/T#3)), an update to the City of Auburn's Six-Year CFP (PIT #4) and updates to the text of several plan elements (P/T#5)). Comprehensive plan amendments are initially reviewed during a public hearing process before the City of Auburn Planning Commission, which then provides a recommendation to the City Council for final action. The Planning Commission held its public hearing on October 5, 2004 and continued the meeting to Thursday October 14, 2004 to deliberate and make its recommendation to the City Council. FindinQs 1. RCW 36.70A.130 (Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA)) provides for amendments to locally adopted GMA comprehensive plans. Except in limited circumstances provided for in State law, comprehensive plan amendments shall be considered by the City or county legislative body no more frequently than once per year.

The City of Auburn established a June 25, 2004 deadline for the submittal of privately-initiated comprehensive plan applications (map or text). One privately initiated map amendment application was submitted by Apex Engineering on behalf of Lakeland East LLC. The Kent, Auburn and Dieringer School districts submitted updated capital facility plans (CFP's) for consideration as policy/text (P/T) amendments. 3. The City of Auburn initiated four (4) plan map and several policy/text amendments including the Finance Department's annual update of the City of Auburn's Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan (2005-2010 CFP) and various policy/text amendments to plan chapters. 4. The proposed plan amendments were sent to State agencies for the 60-day review process in accordance with RCW 36. 70A.1 06. The proposed amendments were received by the Department of Community Trade and Economic Development on August 19, 2004. The 60-day review process therefore concludes October 18, 2004. No comments were received from State agencies within the 60- day process. 5. SEPA review was completed on the Year 2004 comprehensive plan amendments under City case files SEP04-0025 (CPM#1), SEP04-0027 (City of Auburn Six Year CFP) and SEP04-0029 (rest of the city-wide amendments). A DNS was issued on each proposal. 6. The Planning Commission held meetings/study sessions on the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments on August 31, 2004, September 8, 2004, and September 28, 2004. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the 2004 Comprehensive Plan amendments on October 5, 2004 and made its recommendation at a continued meeting on October 14, 2004. 7. Following the Planning Commission's recommendations, presentations on the 2004 Comprehensive Plan amendments were made to the Public Works and Planning and Community Development committees. 8. The following identifies and discusses the year 2004 Comprehensive Plan Map (CPM) amendments and identifies the Planning Commission and Planning and Community Development Committee recommendation. CPM#1 To amend the Comprehensive Plan Map from "Single Family Residential" to "Moderate Density Residential" for properties both within and outside of the Lakeland Hills South Special Plan Area. For those parcels outside of the special plan area, the proposal is to incorporate them into the Lakeland Hills South Special Plan Area. (STR 05-20-05) Discussion The Lakeland Hills South Planned Unit Development (PUD) was approved in Pierce County and was subsequently annexed into the City. The Lakeland Hills South PUD is located on 685 acres, and is approved to allow a maximum of 3,408 units. The PUD is intended to emphasize flexibility in development with an emphasis on pedestrian orientation, innovative development and encouraging a range of housing types. Page 2 of 12 L 1206-2 03.4.3 CPA04-0001 Agenda Subject CPA04-0001 - Annual (Year 2004) Comprehensive Plan Amendments Date: November 30, 2004 The Lakeland Hills South PUD is divided into various "Planning Areas". Limitations on the number of units in each planning area are defined through a PUD amendment process set forth in City Code, which requires City Council approval. Most of the residential portion of the Lakeland Hills South PUD is designated "Moderate Density Residential". The Lakeland Hills South PUD "Moderate Density Residential" plan designation allows housing at a density of approximately 2-14 units per acre. The Lakeland Hills South PUD "Single Family Residential" allows densities at 1-6 units per acre. A portion of the PUD has a "High Density Residential" Plan map designation that allows for densities up to 19 units per acre. By way of example, the approved site plan for the Waterford Condominiums (designated "Moderate Density Residential") shows a density of approximately eight (8) units per acre (101 units on 12.6 acres). The applicant's proposal generally consists of two components described as follows. 1. Amend properties within the existinq Lakeland Hills South Planned Unit Development (commonlv known as Area 7) from "Sinqle Familv Residential" to "Moderate Densitv Residential". The applicant is proposing to designate about 7 acres of properties from "Single Family Residential" to "Moderate Density Residential" within the existing boundaries of the Lakeland Hills South PUD. The area is commonly known as Area 7. Parts of Area 7 were amended from "Single Family Residential" to "Moderate Density Residential" in 2003, but this portion was excluded due to a mapping error. The proposed amendment would allow for an increase in the allowable densities to provide more flexible design opportunities when this site eventually develops. The amendment itself, if approved, will not allow the applicant to increase the density of the number of units proposed for the planning area unless the Official Lakeland Hills South PUD Map is also amended. Area Ts access to the Lake Tapps Parkway and future connections to public sewer and water availability will make the site capable of supporting more dense development, consistent with the applicant's request. Many of the public facility improvements were provided as a direct result of the PUD. The applicant notes that even with the increased density afforded by this proposed amendment, the overall maximum development (3,408 units) allowed under the PUD would still not be achieved. 2. Amend the Comprehensive Plan map from "Sinqle Familv Residential" to "Moderate Densitv Residential" and incorporate this area into the Lakeland Hills South Special Plan Area (referred to in the application as Area 16). The applicant is proposing to designate approximately 77 acres from "Single Family Residential" to "Moderate Density Residential" and include these properties within the Lakeland Hills South Planned Unit Development (PUD) Special Plan Area as identified on the Comprehensive Plan map. The applicant indicates that since the PUD's original approval, the road systems, utility systems and parks sufficient to accommodate 3,408 units have been addressed. Although the PUD is approved for a maximum of 3,408 units, the applicant indicates that market conditions will not result in the maximum cap being achieved. At the Planning Commission public hearing the applicant estimated the build out of the existing Lakeland Hills South PUD boundaries to be about 3,000 units. The applicant notes that the proposed plan amendment would provide the opportunity to expand the PUD boundaries and accommodate additional land to utilize the existing utilities, storm drainage and park systems developed for the original PUD. Page 3 of 12 L 1206-2 03.4.3 CPA04-0001 Agenda Subject CPA04-0001 - Annual (Year 2004) Comprehensive Plan Amendments Date: November 30, 2004 The applicant indicates that the area is served by the City of Bonney Lake for water and the City of Auburn for sewer. Transportation would be provided by the Sumner Tapps Road extension and the easterly extension of Lake Tapps Parkway. The applicant notes that the proposed designation would be consistent with the "Moderate Density Residential" designation of properties to the north (also within the Lakeland Hills South PUD) as well as throughout the majority of the Lakeland Hills South PUD. Designation of the area would allow for the full build out of the intended number of units within revised boundaries of the Lakeland Hills South PUD (3,408) with some allowance for additional residential units based on additional acreage (77 acres) proposed to be added to the PUD. The applicant's SEPA checklist initially envisions that 300 units would be developed in Area 16, although this could be adjusted based on density transfers within the PUD. Additional environmental review will be required in the future as development proposals are more specific. Implementation of the Special Area Plan and expansion of the existing Lakeland Hills South PUD boundaries will require a major amendment to the PUD and rezone. An amendment to the text of Auburn City Code Chapter 18.76 will also likely be required, as will the amendment to the existing annexation and utilities agreement between the City and the developer. Overall, the applicant has indicated that the existing Lakeland Hills South PUD will not achieve the 3,408 unit maximum provided for in the PUD. The applicant estimates that the additional density provided for by the proposed amendments would result in approximately 250 units over the existing Lakeland Hills cap of 3,408 units (for a total new cap of 3,658 units). However, these additional 250 units would be accounted for taking into account the expanded PUD area (77 additional acres added by Area 16). This amendment would capitalize on the significant transportation improvements put in place by the Lakeland Hills South PUD. Planninq Commission Public Hearinq/Testimonv Testimony was received at the Planning Commission public hearing from the applicant as well as from the public. Public testimony in opposition cited the possibility of attached condo/multi-family units, additional traffic, the impact on vegetation, the impact on utilities (water) and the lack of certainty over how many units might develop in the amendment area. The City has also received a letter (dated September 27,2004) expressing concerns over the proposal from Dwight and Marjorie Hastings. The letter cites depreciation in home value (due to traffic, removal of views and noise) and wildlife habitat protection (removing of forestation) as the concerns. Another letter (dated October 1, 2004) along with a petition in opposition to the request was submitted from Jamie Penrod. Generally, the Planning Commission did not feel an adequate case was made for the proposed amendment. The potential for a significant amount of units over what the existing plan designation might allow was a concern. The Planning Commission also felt that it wanted to see a more specific development plan before committing the property to a higher density. Subsequent to the Planninq Commission Public Hearinq Subsequent to the Planning Commission meeting the applicant has offered a proposal that the Comprehensive Plan amendment be approved with conditions. One of the key items reflected in the applicant's letter is a proposal to condition the Comprehensive Plan amendment application so that the future rezone of the area demonstrates that, "... the northernmost approximately 20-acres adjacent to and contiguous with the existing Lakeland Hills neighborhoods of "Evergreen" and "Eastpointe" shall not be developed as "for Page 4 of 12 L 1206-2 03.4.3 CPA04-0001 Agenda Subject CPA04-0001 - Annual (Year 2004) Comprehensive Plan Amendments Date: November 30, 2004 rent", "semi-detached" or "attached" housing products such that the continuation of the existing single family residential character can be extended into the subject parcels. In addition, development within this portion of the request shall be restricted to utilizing the development standards no more intense than the "Single Family Detached-Five (SFD-5)" provisions provided for in the Lakeland Hills South PUD Ordinance." The Planning and Community Development Committee has reviewed the proposal, including the applicant's proposed revision to the northerly 20 acres, and generally wished to see to how the Comprehensive Plan text might be amended to memorialize the applicant's revised proposal and also wished to see a map that visually clarifies the applicant's proposal. Attached to this agenda bill is a possible amendment to Chapter 14 ("Comprehensive Plan Map") of the Auburn Comprehensive Plan that would serve to implement the intent of the applicant's proposal. If the comprehensive plan amendment is approved to include the additional 77 acres, the text change establishes a new maximum overall cap for the Lakeland Hills South PUD at 3,658 units. The applicant has also provided a map (also attached to this agenda bill) generally illustrating the 20-acre area reflected in the applicant's proposal. PlanninQ Commission Recommendation Denial. PCD Committee Recommendation Recommendation is pending being presented with specific text changes to the Comprehensive Plan that would implement the applicant's most recent proposal as well as a map depicting the 20 acres within Area 16 where "for rent", "semi-detached", or "attached" housing would not be built. CPM #2 To amend the Comprehensive Plan Map from "Public/Quasi-Public" to "Light Industrial" for properties located on the south side of 49th Street NW, west of Auburn Way North. (STR 36-22-04) Discussion In 2003 the Thomas Academy requested a Comprehensive Plan amendment to the City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan map for properties it owned at that time. Specifically, the Thomas Academy requested that the Comprehensive Plan map designation for its properties be amended from "Public & Quasi-Public" to "Light Industrial". The Thomas Academy's request was done, in part, by its desire to more easily sell its property in the future to a light industrial use. In changing the Thomas Academy's properties to "Light Industrial", two isolated properties were left with a "Public & Quasi-Public" Comprehensive Plan map designation. One of the properties is approximately .5 acres (used as a single family dwelling); the other is approximately 0.15 acres (appears to be a shop building). The Comprehensive Plan is the City's long range planning document. It is intended to show the future land use of properties over time. The "Public & Quasi-Public" designation is intended to represent properties that serve the cultural, educational, recreational and public service needs of the community. It is typically applied to uses such as schools and parks. Neither of the two properties are used or planned for use as a public or quasi-public use such as a school or park. Therefore, the "Public & Quasi-Public "designation is really not truly reflective of the property's long term use. This proposal is intended to make these properties consistent with the "Light Industrial" Comprehensive Plan designation of the surrounding properties. Page 5 of 12 L 1206-2 03.4.3 CPA04-0001 Agenda Subject CPA04-0001 - Annual (Year 2004) Comprehensive Plan Amendments Date: November 30, 2004 Testimony at the Planning Commission public hearing was received from one of the two affected property owners indicating support for the proposal as it relates to her property. PlanninQ Commission Recommendation Approval. PCD Committee Recommendation Approval. CPM #3 To amend the Comprehensive Plan Map from "Light Industrial" to "Heavy Commercial" for property located at 715 30th Street NE (NW Corner of 30th Street NE and I Street NE. (STR 06-21-05) Discussion The Auburn Comprehensive Plan currently designates the property located at the northwest corner of I Street NE and 30th Street NE as "Light Industrial". The property is approximately 4.82 acres, and is the only "Light Industrial" designated parcel in the I Street NE and Auburn Way corridor between approximately 10th Street NE to the north City limits. The property's current "Light Industrial" plan designation and M1 (Light Industrial) zoning reflect the property's current use as a light manufacturing business (Skills Inc.). This proposal is intended to make the land use plan designation for the property consistent with the "Heavy Commercial" plan designation of the surrounding properties in this corridor. Allowing the property to retain its current "Light Industrial" plan designation and implementing M1 zoning designation would allow for its continued use for other M1 zoned uses when instead the Comprehensive Plan envisions properties along the I Street and Auburn Way NE corridors to be commercial in nature. At the Planning Commission's public hearing, testimony in opposition to the proposal was received from the CEO of Skills Inc. (business operating on the site). The CEO noted the economic contribution that the business and its employees make to the community and that it has been a good neighbor with no adverse land use impacts. One neighboring property owner expressed opposition to proposal citing no concerns with the operation of the current business. During its deliberations, the Planning Commission raised concerns over making the existing Skills Inc., business non-conforming given the number of jobs that the current business provides. The Planning Commission also cited that there was no opposition to the business expressed at the public hearing and therefore saw no reason to recommend a change at this point in time. PlanninQ Commission Recommendation Denial PCD Committee Recommendation Approval. CPM #4 To expand the City of Auburn's Potential Annexation Area/Urban Services Area boundary in Pierce County to include additional property and right-of-way, and designate the area as "Single Family Residential". (STR 05-20-05) Page 6 of 12 L 1206-2 03.4.3 CPA04-0001 Agenda Subject CPA04-0001 - Annual (Year 2004) Comprehensive Plan Amendments Date: November 30, 2004 Discussion The proposal would include a triangular shaped portion of a parcel as well as existing and future right-of-way within the Auburn Potential Annexation Area (PAA) and designate these areas as "Single Family Residential". The City's PAA boundary in this area currently divides a parcel. Part of this proposal seeks to rectify that situation. This parcel is located in Pierce County (and is within Pierce County's Urban Growth Area (CUGA)) west of 182nd Avenue East and just south of the Lake Tapps Parkway East right-of- way. The PAA boundary is presently a natural gas pipeline right of way. As indicated, the property proposed for inclusion in the City's PAA is part of a larger parcel that is already located within Auburn's PAA. The overall parcel is approximately 47 acres in size. The portion of the parcel currently outside of the City's PAA generally comprises approximately 15-20 acres of this larger parcel. The larger parcel is bisected by the natural gas pipeline right-of-way. That portion of this parcel which is located within the PAA is designated "Single Family Residential" on the Auburn Comprehensive Plan Map. This proposal would designate the remainder of the parcel "Single Family Residential" if it is included in the City's PAA. At one time the triangle portion of the property and several other surrounding parcels were included in the City of Auburn's PAA. However, several years ago in response to concern over the City of Auburn's proposed annexations in Pierce County and with concern over water service areas, the City of Bonney Lake initiated litigation against the City of Auburn. To avoid a costly and lengthy lawsuit, an agreement to settle claims and disputes was negotiated and reached between the cities of Auburn and Bonney Lake. Among other items, the settlement agreement resulted in Auburn revising the PAA boundary to its current location in this area, effectively bisecting the parcel in question. This revised PAA boundary was formally recognized through Pierce County's Comprehensive Plan amendment process in 1999. The City has since discussed the proposed PAA amendment with Bonney Lake and has received verbal acceptance of amending the settlement agreement to again include the property within Auburn's PAA. Although a draft written amendment to the original settlement agreement was sent to Bonney Lake earlier this year, it has not yet been acted on by Bonney Lake. The balance of this proposal would expand the City's PAA boundary to include additional right-of-way along 182nd Avenue East as well as additional right-of-way associated with the Lake Tapps Parkway. The intent of this is to provide for the City's eventual control of the Lake Tapps Parkway/182nd Street intersection in the future for traffic control purposes. PlanninQ Commission Recommendation Approval. PCD Committee Recommendation Approval. Staff Recommendation To the extent that the agreement with Bonney Lake has not been completed, staff would recommend that approval for that portion of CPM# 4 subject to the settlement agreement (generally that portion south of Lake Tapps Parkway East) be made contingent on executing the amendment to the settlement agreement. This contingency will be reflected as a note on the adopted comprehensive plan map. Page 7 of 12 L 1206-2 03.4.3 CPA04-0001 Agenda Subject CPA04-0001 - Annual (Year 2004) Comprehensive Plan Amendments Date: November 30, 2004 CPM #5 To amend the Comprehensive Plan map from "Moderate Density Residential" to "Light Commercial" for properties located on A Street SE (east side), south of Lakeland Hills Way. (STR 05-21-31) Discussion These properties (and others) were annexed into the City of Auburn in 2003 as part of an annexation/deannexation process with the City of Pacific. When annexed into the City of Auburn, all of the properties were zoned R1 (Single Family Residential). The intent is that these properties will eventually be rezoned to bring them in conformance with their respective Comprehensive Plan designations. The owner of one of the properties indicated that his property (or at least its westerly portion with frontage on A Street SE) had been zoned "commercial" in the City of Pacific prior to annexation to the City of Auburn. The owner has expressed a desire to retain the commercial zoning he had while in the City of Pacific. For this to occur the Comprehensive Plan must reflect a commercial designation. This proposal would affect two parcels. The most northerly parcel is vacant (owned by the individual who indicated a desire to have a commercial designation) and is approximately 5.23 acres in size. The proposal would designate the west half of this parcel, which was the portion that had commercial zoning in Pacific) as "Light Commercial". The easterly portion of the property slopes upward steeply and was zoned "High Density Residential" in Pacific. This portion would remain designated as "Moderate Density Residential" on the Auburn Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The abutting property immediately to the south is presently designated "Moderate Density Residential", with properties to the south of it designated "Light Commercial". This abutting property is approximately 3.84 acres in size and is used as a single-family dwelling. The proposal would designate this property as "Light Commercial" as well to maintain consistency with the Comprehensive Plan designations along this portion of the A Street SE corridor. The Planning Commission received testimony in support of the proposal from the owner of the northerly parcel. No testimony was received from property owner of the southern parcel. PlanninQ Commission Recommendation Approval. PCD Committee Recommendation Approval. 9. The following identifies and discusses year 2004 Policy/Text (P/T) amendments considered along with the Planning Commission and Planning and Community Development Committee recommendation. PIT #1 Incorporate Auburn School District 2004 throuQh 2010 Capital Facilities Plan adopted April 26. 2004 into the City Comprehensive Plan The Auburn School District has provided the City with its annually updated capital facilities plan (CFP). The CFP was adopted by the Auburn School District School Board on April 26, 2004 and has been subject to SEPA review and a DNS. Information contained in the School District CFP serves as the basis for the City's collection of school impact fees on behalf of the school district. Page 8 of 12 L 1206-2 03.4.3 CPA04-0001 Agenda Subject CPA04-0001 - Annual (Year 2004) Comprehensive Plan Amendments Date: November 30, 2004 A review of the Auburn School District's updated Capital Facilities Plan indicates the net fee obligation for single-family dwellings is $5,296.90 and for multi-family dwellings is $1,831.85. The actual impact fee collected is approved by the Auburn City Council. A representative of the Auburn School District provided testimony at the Planning Commission public hearing. PlanninQ Commission Recommendation Approval. PCD Committee Recommendation Approval. PIT #2 Incorporate Kent School District Capital Facilities Plan 2004-2005 to 2009-2010 into the City Comprehensive Plan Discussion The Kent School District has provided the City with its annually updated capital facilities plan. The CFP was adopted by the Kent School District School Board earlier this year and has been subject to SEPA review and a DNS. Information contained in the School District CFP serves as the basis for the City's collection of school impact fees on behalf of the school district. A review of the Kent School District's updated Capital Facilities Plan indicates that the net fee obligation for single-family dwellings ($4,056.00) and multi-family dwellings ($1,762.00). The actual impact fee collected is set by the Auburn City Council. A representative of the Kent School District provided testimony at the Planning Commission public hearing. PlanninQ Commission Recommendation Approval. PCD Committee Recommendation Approval. PIT #3 Incorporate DierinQer School District Capital Facilities Plan 2003 to 2009 into the City Comprehensive Plan Discussion The Dieringer School District has provided the City with its annually updated capital facilities plan. The CFP was adopted by the Dieringer School District School Board on January 26, 2004. Information contained in the School District CFP serves as the basis for the City's collection of school impact fees on behalf of the school district. A review of the Dieringer School District's updated Capital Facilities Plan indicates the net fee obligation for single-family dwellings is $4,932.00 and for multi-family dwellings is $1,801.00. The actual impact fee collected is set by the Auburn City Council. PlanninQ Commission Recommendation Approval.

PIT #4 City of Auburn Six Year Capital Facilities Plan 2005-2010 Discussion The City of Auburn maintains a Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan as required by the Growth Management Act (GMA). An annual update to the CFP has been prepared by the Finance Department. The purpose of the capital facilities plan is to identify City capital facilities projects programmed for the next six years and to identify costs and funding sources associated with those programmed projects. In this respect the plan is fiscally constrained. Capital facilities plans serve as the basis for sound and responsible financial planning to meet planned growth. They also serve as the basis for the calculation and expenditure of impact fees. Since the time of the Planning Commission's recommendation, some additional changes to the CFP have been identified. These are outline in the attached memorandum from the Finance Department and should be included. PlanninQ Commission Recommendation Approval. PCD Committee Recommendation Approval. PIT #5 Auburn Comprehensive Plan - Miscellaneous Text Updates Discussion The City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 1995 in response to the Washington State Growth Management Act passed in the early 1990's. Given the passing of almost ten years, the household and employment targets, US Census data (from 1990) and much of the narrative in the plan have become outdated. By way of example, new 20-year housing unit/employment targets and US Census data have since been assigned to the City and/or have been made available since the time of the Plan's last major update in the mid-1990's. PIT #5 seeks to incorporate this information into the applicable Comprehensive Plan elements, with particular emphasis in updating data tables in Chapter 3 (Land Use Element), Chapter 4 (Housing Element) and Chapter 8 (Economic Development Element). In King County, Auburn has been assigned targets of 5,928 additional housing units by 2022 and 6,079 additional jobs by the same target year (based on the City of Auburn's year 2003 King County City limits). In the Pierce County portion on the City, the City's target is for 7,950 people (based on the City of Auburn's year Pierce County City limits as of 2002). This information is now reflected in Chapter 3 (Land Use Element) and replaces the year 2012 targets in the existing plan. Many other text amendments to the narrative update and reflect events that have occurred since the past ten years (e.g. completion of Emerald Downs). These text amendments do not reflect policy changes but are descriptive in nature. Page 10 of 12 L 1206-2 03.4.3 CPA04-0001 Agenda Subject CPA04-0001 - Annual (Year 2004) Comprehensive Plan Amendments Date: November 30, 2004 Some various policy amendments are proposed, most of which are clarifying in nature. In certain instances, policy amendments address substantive issues. Two key amendments include: 1. Chapter 13 Unincorporated Areas and Annexation Comprehensive Plan Policy CE-3 outlines the City's current approach to utility service provision outside of the City limits but within the City's Potential Annexation Area (PAA). As a condition of receiving City sewer/water service, the City's current policy requires that properties, not contiguous to the City limits, enter into a development agreement with the City. The development agreement seeks to ensure that certain City development standards are met and also requires the property owner to agree to annex at such time the City deems annexation appropriate. For properties contiguous to the City limits, the current policy requires annexation as a condition of receiving water/sewer service. The proposed policy would, with limited exceptions, require annexation as a condition of receiving City sewer/water service. Exceptions include requests for water/sewer service involving single-family residences on a pre-existing lot, situations to address a documented imminent health or safety consideration, or situations where a water/sewer availability development agreement has previously been approved with the City and is still valid. Part of the intent of this proposed policy is to ensure that future development in the City's PAA meet's City standards. The existing process is not entirely satisfactory in ensuring that City standards are met and increases the costs to the City when the areas are eventually annexed to the City with substandard infrastructure. The Planning and Community Development Committee has recommend additional language to the proposed policy related to joint planning and to the timing of the policy's implementation. These additional language changes are identified in an attachment to this agenda bill. 2. Chapter 14 Comprehensive Plan Map The City of Auburn currently has a "Rural" residential Comprehensive Plan designation. The maximum density of this designation is one unit per four acres. The current Comprehensive Plan language describes the purpose of the "Rural" Residential plan designation as being appropriate to protect areas with significant environmental constraints from urban levels of development and to protect the City's water sources. A Growth Management Hearings Board decision identified an acceptable urban density as being a minimum of four units per acre. The decision noted that lower densities are appropriate when such lower densities are intended to support the protection and preservation of large, complex high value environmentally sensitive or critical areas. The language to the "Rural" Comprehensive Plan Map designation has therefore been amended in Chapter 14 to emphasize its applicability to the protection of the City's watershed and to areas with severe environmental constraints such as the bluffs along the river. Two letters were submitted to the Planning Commission regarding the proposed annexation/utility policy (October 4, 2004 letter from Elmer Hautala and an October 5, 2004 letter from Dan and Beth Hollis). The Planning Commission also received verbal testimony from another party generally in opposition to the proposed annexation/utility service proposal. An October 5, 2004 letter from 1000 Friends of Washington regarding densities was also submitted to the Planning Commission. Page 11 of 12 L 1206-2 03.4.3 CPA04-0001 Agenda Subject CPA04-0001 - Annual (Year 2004) Comprehensive Plan Amendments Date: November 30, 2004 PlanninQ Commission Recommendation Approval. The Planning Commission also noted in its recommendation that the City Council look at how the Latino/Hispanic classification is presented in the socio-economic tables and determine whether the tables should be presented in a different fashion. PCD Committee Recommendation Approval, except amend the proposed utility/annexation policy (Chapter 13 - Policy CE-3) to: a) Reflect that joint planning between the city and respective county would be an acceptable option to ensure that City standards could be met and to allow for development in the unincorporated PAA to receive water and/or sewer service from the City; and, b) Identify a specific time for implementation of the proposed policy. The PCD Committee recommended that the policy go into effect January 1, 2005, while still processing those water/sewer availability certificate applications submitted by December 31, 2004.

In summary, these additional amendments relate to: 1. CPM #1 - Lakeland Hills South PUD expansion and plan map amendment. PCD Committee requested proposed plan text amendment language for consideration that would implement the applicant's recent proposal to limit development in the north 20 acn~s of proposed Area 16 to certain housing types. 2. PIT#5 - General Text Updates. Add language to the proposed utility/annexation policy (as requested by PCD Committee.) 3. PIT #4 - CitY of Auburn Six Year Capital Facilities Plan (CFP). Finance Department updates to CFP since the Planning Commission recommendation. The following describes these additions in more detail. 1. CPM #1 - Lakeland Hills South PUD expansion and plan map amendment Since the time of the Planning Commission's recommendation, the applicant fo'r CPM #1 has proposed a revision to the original proposal (described in more detail in an email from the applicant (email attached». While the applicant's overall proposal is still to amend the comprehensive plan map from "Single Family Residential" to "Moderate Density Residential", the applicant has proposed to not develop the northerly 20 acres of the Area 16 as "for rent", "semi-detached" or "attached" housing types. The intent of this is to provide for a consistent transition of single-family housing types between the existing Eastpointe and Evergreen single family residential neighborhoods December 6, 2004 City Council 2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendments1 t-- -'r (already within the Lakeland Hills South PUD) and new development in Areal 16 (area of the applicant's proposed Lakeland Hills South PUD expansion). The applicant has also submitted a map showing the general location of the 20 acres that would be subject to this limitation (map attached). Should the City Council wish to pursue this amended proposal then the Comprehensive Plan text should be amended to reflect this approach. Comprehensive Plan Chapter 14, entitled "Comprehensive Plan Map", discusses special planning areas in the City including the Lakeland Hills South PUD. The following text amendment to Chapter 14 conveys the intent to apply the proposed limitation on the northerly twenty acres and recognizes that such limitation will be implemented as future land use actions (e.g. rezone) are processed PROPOSED LANGUAGE "Lakeland Hills South Special Planning Area: The Lakeland Hills South Plan will initially covered tAe approximately 685 acres owned by The lakeland ComlPany within Pierce County and contained within the City of Aubum potential annexation area (urban growth area). The Plan is intended to fllü&t be consistent with the conditions of approval of the Lakeland Hills South POD (Pierce County Hearings Examiner Case No. Z15-90/UP9-70) as amended. The City of Auburn has accepted the Lakeland Hills South PUD as an approved PUD. This acceptance is implemented in part throuah an annexation and utilities aGreement between the City and the developer (!f Lakeland Hills South PUD. The Lakeland Hills South PUD is further implemented bv the City's zonina code. includinG ACC Chapter 18.76 entitled "Planned Unit Development District - Lakeland Hills South Spec!!.! Plan Area". Residential development within the PUD is will ~e primarily single family and moderate density dwellings with a wide range of lot sizes, including lots smaller than those I)blFr-9Rtly typicallv allowed (1995) by the City's zoning ordinance for non-PUD's. The maximum allowable number of residential units provided for oriGinallv was is 3,408 based upon an overall gross density of 5 units per acre. High density multifamily units are limited to one area of the PUD '.viii ~B limileå to approximately 669 units. Twenty acres will are to be used for light commercial development and significant area will has be.!!! set aside as open space. The development will-include! a developed 15-acre park, an undeveloped 15-acre park, two 5-acre parks and a linear park along Lakeland Hills Way. The locati()ns of the parks are shown on the comprehensive plan map. Changing the location of any or all of the parks does not constitute a comprehensive plan amendment provided that the total park acreage does not change and the location is agrE'ed upon by the City. Within the Lakeland Hills South Special Plan area only, the permitted density ranges for the comprehensive plan designations are as follows: Single Family Residential: 1-6 units per acre; Moderate Density Residential: 2-14 units per December 6, 2004 City Council 2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendments! 2 ....--"> acre; and High Density Residential: 12-19 units per acre.

In considerina expansion to the PUD. the City established provisions and conditions to be followed during subseauent review of land use ací!2!!! affecting the PUD expansion area. These include: 1. Expansion of the Lakeland Hills South PUD boundary and the amendment to a "Moderate Density Residential" comprehensive plan designation ffrom "Sinale Familv Residential") for Area 16 shall expire and revert back to a "Single Familv Residential" Comprehensive Plan designation if the applicant failLjQ complete a rezone as reauired bv ACC Section 18.76.170fC) to extend the exterior boundaries of the PUD prior to December 1. 2005.

PIT#5 Utility/Annexation Policy (Chapter 13 - Revisions PoliÇï CE-3) The Planning Commission recommended approval of amendments to Policy CE- 3 related to annexation/city utility service. Since the time of the Planning December 6, 2004 City Council 2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendments. 3 Commission recommendation, the Planning and Community Development (PCD) Committee recommended additional revisions to the proposed policy to: a) Reflect that joint planning between the city and respective county would be an acceptable option to ensure that City standards could be met and to allow for development in the unincorporated PAA to receive water and/or sewer service from the City; and, b) Identify a specific time for the proposed policy's implementation. The PCD Committee recommended that the policy go into effect January 'I, 2005, while still processing those water/sewer availability certificate applications submitted by December 31, 2004. Therefore, additional language to the proposed policy (bold/underline reflects additional amendments) has been recommended by the PCD Committee to address these considerations. 'CE-3 Until such time a ioint planning agreement between the City and respective county is in effect that provides for development In the unincorporated Potential Annexation Areas /PAA) to meet City standar!!!. ,!!Annexation shall be required as a condition of the City's provision of sewer and/or water utility service to properties within the Potential Annexation Area. Exceptions to this involve requests for water andlor sewer service for the following: a. Single family residences on pre-existing lots; b. To address a documented imminent health or safety consideration; or, c. To development where a water/sewer availability development agreement has previously been approved with the city and is still valid. In situations where an exception applies, the City of Aubum shall require the property owner to enter into a legally binding, non-remonstrance pre-annexation agreement with the City. The agreement shall provide for the property owners support for annexation to the City at such time as the City deems annexation appropriate. In these instances, the following conditions shall also apply: a. The property ownerldeveloper shall agree to comply with appropriate City development standards and public facility specifications where such requirements are not superseded by applicable County requirements (in the event of significant conflict between City and County requirements, the City may choose to not extend utility service). Any facilities to be dedicated to the City of Auburn upon completion (e.g. sewer and water lines and appurtenances) shall be built in accordance with City design and construction standards; and The property owner/developer shall allow City plan review prior to construction, and inspection during construction of all public improvements as they are built, December 6, 2004 City Council 4 2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendmentsl t-- regardless of the ownership of such improvements, and shall reimburse the City for any reasonable costs incurred in such plan review and inspection.

PIT #4 City of Auburn Six-Year CFP The City of Auburn Finance Department has, in coordination with other Departments, updated the City of Auburn Six Year Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) to address the 2005-2010 time frame. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Six Year CFP. Since the time of the Planning Commission's recommendation, certain additic)nal changes have been made to the 2005-2010 Six Year CFP.

December 6, 2004 City Council 2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendment& 5 <~ - -,- Page I of I David Osaki From: Christopher M. Huss [CMH@tucciandsons.com] Sent: Monday, November 08, 20049:56 AM To: ssinger@auburnwa.gov Cc: David Osaki; plewis@auburnwa.gov; PKrauss@ci.aubum.wa.us Subject: Lakeland Hills South Comp Plan Map Amendment Dear Chairperson Singer, In response to the concerns and comments expressed by the Planning Commissioners and Lakeland residents, we have taken another look at our Comp Plan Map Amendment request and propose to modify !md clarify the proposal in keeping with the attached proposed "conditions'. Our objective is to provide a reasonable "buffer" of single family detached housing adjacent to the existing Lakeland Evergreen and Eastpointe neighborhoods and to provide absolute clarification that no high density "apartments' will be buitt within the entirety of Areas 7 and 16. Because we are not at the stage where we can draw exact neighborhood lines, the conditions speak in terms of "approximately" 20 acres rather being shown with a bright line on the map. The Planning and CClmmunity Development Department, City Hearing Examiner and City Council will all have additional opportunities to review and approve more specific plans in the future as they are developed. In the end we are confident that working together with the City we will continue the development of Lakeland as a top-notch Master Plann'ed Community consistent with Growth Management principles and, at the same time, aid the City in achieving its urban growth objectives. I would be delighted to answer any questions you or any other member of the PCDC Committee might have and I will be present at the meeting this evening for that purpose. For your information, we have also s,cheduled a meeting with interested Lakeland residents for this Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. at the Lakeh3nd Community Center to discuss the proposal and answer questions. You or any other City official or staff are more than welcome to attend. Thank you for your consideration. Evergreen Tucci Partners Chris Huss Christopher M.

The city seeks to allow land development in its UGA, but in doing so, also seeks to protect the value and character of the Lakeland Hills South Planned Ur~t Development's existing single-family residential lots adjacent to subject parcels. 2. The city fmds that high-density residential development ("for rent" dwelling units) is inconsistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan for the subject parcels lying north of Lake Tapps Parkway East and potentially detrimen1al to the character of those existing single-family residential neighborhoods developed under the Lakeland Hills South Planned Unit Development that abut the subject parcels. 3. The city finds that the natural constraints of the area are consistent with the type ofland envisioned by the Comprehensive Plan's policies intended to utilize flexible or innovative design standards and criteria, such as Planned Unit Development regulations. 4. The existing single-family residential subdivisions in the Lakeland Hills South Planned Unit Development have been designed and constructed under the "Moderate Density Residential" Comprehensive Plan land use designation. 5. The applicant intends to file a rezone in accordance with the direction of Auburn City Code 18.76.170(C) to extend the external boundaries of the PUD and amend the Official Map of the Lakeland Hills South Planned Unit Development to include the parcels under this request. CPM # 1 is approved to subject to the following conditions 1. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendment identified as "CPM #1" shall become invalid and revert to the "single family residential" designation if the applicant fails to complete a rezone to extend the external boundaries of the Lakeland Hills South Planned Unit Development (PUD) to subject parcels in accordance with the provision and intent of Auburn City Code 1 8.76.1 70(C) prior to December 1,2005. The city shall not invoke this condition if the applicant has made a good faith effort to execute said rezone and delay can be attributable to elements other than the applicant's failure to initiate said request in a timely manner. t-- 2. The rezone application shall demonstrate that the northernmost approximately 20- acres adjacent to and contiguous with the existing Lakeland Hills neighborhoods of "Evergreen" and "Eastpointe" shall not be developed as "for rent", "semi- detached" or "attached" housing products such that the continuation of the existing single family residential character can be extended into the subject parcels. In addition, development within this portion of the request shall be restricted to utilizing the development standards no more intense than the "'Single Family Detached-Five (SFD-5)" provisions provided for in the Lakeland Hills South POD Ordinance PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT -;-; I , RECEMD NOV 3 0 2004 PLANNING EPARTMENI I f -- ,..
