Agenda Subject: Ordinance No. 6033
Background Summary:
Last fall, under direction from the Planning and Community Development Committee, the City began
working to develop code amendments to revise allowed uses and development standards in the industrial
zones within the City of Auburn.
Draft code amendments addressing the uses and development standards in the Industrial Zones were
brought before the Planning & Community Development Committee and Planning Commission for
discussion. In general, the amendments would allow a greater range of permitted uses, primarily
commercial in nature, in the Industrial (M1 and M2) zones that would otherwise require an administrative
use or conditional use permit. The industrial zones would therefore allow greater commercial uses
permitted outright.
On June 6,2006 the Planning Commission held a public hearing on amendments related to uses and
development standards in the industrial zones. One individual testified against the proposed
amendments, stating that jobs will be lost and that mixing commercial and industrial uses will interfere
with one another.
At the June 6, 2006, meeting the Planning Commission made a recommendation to the City Council for
adoption of the proposed code amendments.

AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINED
Agenda Subject: Ordinance 6033
Date:
July 10, 2006
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. Title 18 of the Auburn City Code (ACC), related to zoning, includes Chapter 18.32 entitled "M-1 Light
Industrial District" and Chapter 18.34 entitled "M-2 Heavy Industrial District". ACC Chapters 18.32
and 18.34 provide for regulation of industrial development in the City of Auburn.
2. The City's industrial zones allow various manufacturing and wholesale distribution uses outright, while
commercial uses allowed within these zones are limited to those that complement or support
industrial uses and typically require either an administrative use permit or a conditional use permit.
3. In general, the amendments will allow a greater range of permitted uses, primarily commercial in
nature that would otherwise require an administrative use or conditional use permit. The industrial
zones would therefore allow greater commercial uses as outright permitted uses.
4. These code amendments are supported by the City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan. The
Comprehensive Plan land use map descriptions (Auburn Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 14) for the
"Light Industrial" and "Heavy Industrial" designations state, in part,
"Light Industrial
Purpose: To reserve quality industrial lands for activities that implement the City's economic
development policy.
Description: This category is intended to accommodate a wide range of industrial and
commercial uses..."
"Heavy Industrial
Purpose: To provide a place for needed heavy industrial uses in areas appropriately sited for
such uses.
Description: This designation allows the full range of industrial uses as well as certain
commercial uses.
Compatible Uses: While this zone should be reserved primarily for the heavier forms of industrial
activities, a wide range of industrial and commercial activities may be permitted."
5. A final SEPA Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued on the proposed code
amendments (attached) on May 22, 2006.
6. On May 2, 2006, notice of the proposed code amendments was provided to the Washington State
Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development and other State agencies, pursuant to
RCW 36. 70A.1 06. No comments were received from any agency on this proposal.
7. On June 6,2006 the Planning Commission held a public hearing on amendments related to uses and
development standards in the industrial zones. One individual testified against the proposed
amendments, stating that jobs will be lost and that mixing commercial and industrial uses will interfere
with one another. At the June 6, 2006, meeting the Planning Commission made a recommendation
to the City Council for adoption of the proposed code amendments.

ORDINANCE NO. 60 3 3
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AUBURN,
WASHINGTON, AMENDING CHAPTERS 18.32 AND
18.34 OF THE AUBURN CITY CODE, RELATING TO
INDUSTRIAL ZONES
WHEREAS, from time to time, amendments to the City of Auburn zoning
code are appropriate, in order to update and better reflect the current
development needs and standards of the City; and
WHEREAS, a need has been identified to address concerns over the
changing face of industrial and commercial development; and
WHEREAS, presently, the City's principal industrial zones (M1 (Light
Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial)) allow various manufacturing and wholesale
distribution use outright, while commercial uses allowed within these zones are
limited to those that complement or support industrial uses and typically require
an administrative use permit or a conditional use permit; and
WHEREAS, expanding the range of permitted commercial uses in the
industrial zones, as well as eliminating the administrative and discretionary land
use approval processes currently required to allow commercial uses, will promote
the more efficient use of land in the urban growth area; and
WHEREAS, with this code amendment, property owners would be offered
the ability to develop commercial uses without limiting the range of industrial
uses that are currently allowed; and
WHEREAS, following proper public notice, the City of Auburn Planning
Commission held a public hearing on June 6, 2006, on proposed code
amendments regarding uses and development standards in the M1 (Light
Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) zones; and
Ordinance No. 6033
July 05, 2006
Page10f13
WHEREAS,. after fully considering the testimony and information
presented at the public hearing, on June 6, 2006, the Planning Commission
made its recommendations for code amendments to the City of Auburn City
Council; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed and considered the Planning
Commission recommendations; and
WHEREAS, environmental review on the proposal has been completed in
accordance with the requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA),
with a final determination of non-significance (DNS) issued May 22, 2006; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the proposal was received by State
agencies for the 60-day review period on May 2, 2006, also in accordance with

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section One AMENDMENT TO CITY CODE. That Chapter 18.32
of the Auburn City Code, entitled "M-1 Light Industrial District" is amended to
read as follows:
Chapter 18.32
M-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT
Sections:
18.32.010

Supplemental development standards.
18.32.010 Intent.
The purpose of the M-1 Liqht Industrial zone is to accommodate a variety of
industrial and commercial uses in an industrial park environment, to preserve land for
light industrial and commercial uses, to implement the economic goals of the
comprehensive plan and to provide a greater flexibility within the zoning regulations for
Ordinance No. 6033
July 05, 2006
Page 2 of 13
those uses which are nonnuisance in terms of air and water pollution, noise, vibration,
glare or odor. The light industrial/commercial character of this zone is intended to
address the way in which industrial and commercial uses are carried out rather than the
actual types of products made.
The light industrial character of this zone will limit the amount ..1YmLof industrial
primary activities and other uses which may be conducted outside of enclosed buildings
to outdoor displays and sales. Uses which are not customarily conducted indoors, or
involve hazardous materials are considered heavy industrial uses under this title and are
not appropriate for the M-1 zone.
While the majority of the M 1 zone is intended for light industrial uses there may
be some commercial uses permitted if the use enhances the quality of the area ond
does not disrupt the continuity of the industrial uses. Regional shopping centers and
GeffiffiefGial-fBGreatfefi- may also -Se- permitted if they are found to be appropriate and
consistent with the comprehensive plan.
An essential aspect of this zone is the need to maintain a quality of development
that attracts rather than discourages further investment in light industrial and commercial
development. Consequently, site activities which could distract from the visual quality of
development of those areas, such as outdoor storage should be strictly regulated within
this zone. (Ord. 491 0 ~ 1, 1996; Ord. 4229 ~ 2, 1987.)
18.32.020 Permitted uses.

The M-2 fl]jeavy +!ndustrial zones are ~intended to provide for general
manufacturing and processing and grouping of industrial enterprises which possess
common or similar characteristics and performance standards involving manufacturing,
assembling, fabrication and processing, bulk handling of products, large amounts of
storage and warehousing, outdoor storage, processing and other related uses that
cannot meet the development standards of the M-1 zone.
While other uses may be sited within this zone, permits for such uses should not
be issued if such uses will discourage use of adjacent sites for heavy industry, interrupt
the continuity of industrial sites, or produce traffic in conflict with the industrial uses.
