Home My WebLink AboutITEM II-A-1 AU'Bu WASH INGTON AGENDA BILL APPROVAL FORM Aqenda Subiect: Public Hearing-Moratorium on Industrial Uses I Date: August 15, 2006 Department: Planning, Attachments: Resolution No. 4062; Map of area Budget Impact: NA Building and Community currently under moratorium; Map of area showing properties in remaining moratorium area subject to 2006 comprehensive plan amendment. Administrative Recommendation: City Council to conduct a public hearing on the moratorium. (Should Council wish to modify the moratorium area it should do so by motion and direct staff to bring a revised resolution for City Council consideration to the September 5, 2006 City Council meeting). Backqround Summary: On February 6, 2006, the Auburn City Council approved Resolution No. 3982 and on March 15, 2006, approved Resolution No. 4003 establishing a six month moratorium on the filing of licenses and permits related to industrial development adjacent to the Auburn Environmental Park. (AEP) The purpose of the moratorium was to allow the City time to develop land use policies and/or regulations to promote development that would complement and benefit from the AEP. A six month extension on the moratorium was approved by the City Council on July 17, 2006 (Resolution No. 4062), with a public hearing on that extension scheduled for August 21, 2006. The moratorium has expired on that portion of the original moratorium area that was rezoned to the Environmental Park (EP) District on August 7,2006 (Ordinance No. 6036 and 6037). A portion of the area still covered by the moratorium is to be evaluated during the 2006 annual comprehensive plan amendment process (docketed as plan map amendment #23). This area is generally located south of what would be 4th Street NW (see attached map) were a road to physically exist. This area includes Waste Management, AC Delco auto parts, Custom-Bilt Metals, Commercial Crating, US Transmissions, Danner Corporation, West Auburn High School, residential, and some commercial development. The area still under moratorium that is not included as part of the Comrrehensive Plan Map amendments is the northern portion (north of would be 4th Street NW and south of 6t Street NW). Land uses in this area include Huttig Building Products, Henry Roofing, US Gypsum, and the former Simmons warehouse.
