Mayor Roegner opened the public hearing. Mike Bocatch - III H St. SE, Auburn, W A Mr. Bocatch, Auburn resident, expressed a desire to speak at the public hearing with regard to the County Wide Planning Policies for King County, however, he did not feel well enough informed on the issue. He also questioned the administrative recommendation of approval of the policies as it fits into the process. CITY OF AUBURN COUNCIL MEETING October 19, 1992 Motion by Councilmember Barber to close the public hearing. Councilmember Borden seconds the motion. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 5-0 Mayor Roegner responded to Mr. Bocatch's questions with regard to the administrative recommendation on the County Wide Planning Policies for King County. He said the steps taken are to first receive any public comment on the substance contained in the policies for the City Council. The administrative recommendation is a staff recommendation to the City Council to conduct a public hearing, and if they do not hear anything that they want to add or subtract from the policies themselves, they close the public hearing and move forward in the process. Mayor Roegner recommended Mr. Bocatch contact the Planning staff if he would like to learn more about the process and the issue. Motion by Councilmember Barber, second by Councilmember Borden to approve the County Wide Planning Policies for King County as recommended and to instruct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution. Councilmember Kurle asked if the policies have already been ratified by the required number of cities, and if the issue before the Council tonight is simply saying we agree too? Mayor Roegner answered Councilmember Kurle's question by stating that we agree with the majority of the policies which includes local language added by Auburn. In the event the Council chose not to ratify these policies, Councilmember Brothers wondered if there would be an adverse effect on the proposal as it has been ratified. Mayor Roegner clarified the position Auburn would be in if Auburn chose not to ratify the County Wide Planning Policies for King County especially in addressing future regional issues. He said the adjustments Auburn made to the policies were appropriately referred to the City Council. Mayor Roegner said the remainder of the policy material is appropriate participation by the Auburn City Council in regional policy planning. Mayor Roegner called for a vote. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 5-0. B.

Ordinance No. 4590 03.4.2.1.2 An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington, amending City of Auburn Zoning Code Title 18 relating to Work Release and Pre- Release Residential Facilities and other similar facilities which serve as alternatives to imprisonment by amending Sections 18.04.440, 18.30.030 and 18.32.040 and by adding new Sections 18.04.744, 18.04.914 and 18.48.090. Motion by Councilmember Barber to introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 4590 to allow certain amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to revise the definition of "group residence facility", Section 18.04.440 Auburn City Code, and to establish related siting criteria. Second by Councilmember Borden. Under discussion, Councilmember Brothers requested staff review the specific changes proposed. He also asked what type of a facility would be manifested by creation of such a group home, and if a facility such as this would house people overnight. Planning Director Steve Lancaster summarized that the proposed amendment establishes a revision in the definition of a group residence facility. It separates the definition of a work release facility that offers alternatives to imprisonment and imposes restrictions such as size being limited to no more than fifty residents on property zoned C-3, Heavy Commercial or M-I, Light Industrial. Mr. Lancaster stated separation criteria are proposed to ensure that this type of facility is separated from sensitive land uses such as residential uses, daycares, parks and other sensitive uses. Further describing the amendments, Mr. Lancaster said the proposed amendment would treat a work release facility that offers alternatives to imprisonment as a different class of use, not the same as a group residence. He said the amendment would be more restrictive in terms of the location of where that type of facility could operate, size of facility, and conditions under which they could operate. Also, the amendment provides for separation of certain businesses from other sensitive types of land uses. He concluded his remarks by stating operating rules for such work release facilities must be reviewed by the City Attorney and Police Chief. Mayor Roegner called for the vote.
