Agenda Subject: Ordinance No. 6151 Date:
December 27, 2007
Department: Attachments: Budget Impact:
Le al Ordinance No. 6151
Administrative Recommendation:
City Council introduce and adopt Ordinance 6151.
Background Summary:
Pursuant to the agreement between the City and the County dated February 20, 2007, addressing the
permit processing coordination between the City and County for projects that were vested under the
County but would be located within the City of Auburn because of the annexations between Lea Hill and
West Hill, it is appropriate that the City and the County coordinate on the use of the codes that apply to
those projects. Under Washington's vesting law, projects that are fully and completely received by the
appropriate jurisdiction vest as to the laws and regulations in effect at the time the projects have been
fully applied for. Because of this, projects that have been applied for under King County regulations for
projects within the annexation areas would continue to be controlled by those county regulations even
after the property on which the projects are located becomes a part of the City of Auburn. Therefore, in
order to implement the coordination necessary for processing those pending and vested permit
applications, it is appropriate, for the City to take steps to ensure that the City and the County can
adequately handle the processing of those permit applications under appropriate county codes even
where the functionaries may be City staff. By reference, County Codes to apply to those instances, the
City would assure its ability to continue to act in the processing of such permits. This is, again, consistent
with the agreement between the City and the County dated February 20, 2007. It does not apply,
however, to any projects that are not vested under county codes at the time of the annexations.
