The Hearing Examiner’s recommendation issued on September 22, 2005 states that there is not enough
information to make a written recommendation on the request for approval of the rezone to PUD and
approval of the preliminary plat. For this reason, the Hearing Examiner recommends that the requests be
remanded to the Planning and Community Development Department to allow the Applicant to submit and
address the following additional information:
1. A plan to provide more definite information on a second general access for the proposed access
that complies with Comprehensive Plan Policy TR-13. The plan should be more certain than the
plan presently submitted by the Applicant.
2. A traffic impact analysis that addresses the binding site plan (PUD Exhibit 11), and addresses the
different access scenarios that could occur.
3. Current traffic level of service information to ensure the proposed project complies with
Comprehensive Plan Policies TR-17 and TR-18.
4. A reconfiguration of dedicated park land such that Tracts A through G are not considered
dedicated park land.
Please refer to the Agenda Bill for the associated rezoning to PUD for a response to these issues raised
by the Hearing Examiner.
The Hearing Examiner decision also states that if the information is submitted to the satisfaction of the
Planning Director, the Hearing Examiner will re-hear those portions of the application. If the Applicant is
unable to submit the information to the satisfaction of the Planning Director, the Hearing Examiner
recommends that the requests for plat and PUD be denied.
The Hearing Examiner’s recommendation also specifies that the plat modification that is requested
pursuant to Auburn City Code Section 17.18.010, to dedicate less than the required amount of park land
and provide fees in-lieu and/or improvements be denied. The Hearing Examiner recommended that the
plat modification be denied since the request does not meet the specific criteria as outlined in ACC
17.18.010 and 17.18.030.
The City Council may now either affirm the Examiner’s decision, remand to the Examiner or schedule a
closed record hearing. The Council can only modify or disaffirm the Examiner’s decision after conducting
their own closed record hearing.
The City has received written confirmation from the applicant that exceeding the 120-day permit
processing timeframe is acceptable.
