II. CITIZEN INPUT. PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Public Hearings
1. Aoolication No. MISOO 11-93ZC
03.4.2.1.2 Application No. MISOOII-93ZC
The request of La Terra Limited Partnership to amend Section 18.34.040
of the Zoning Ordinance to allow "commercial recreation, including
animal racetracks" in the M-2, Heavy Industrial zone subject to the
issuance of a conditional use permit.
Prior to opening the public hearing, Mayor Booth explained to the
audience that persons wishing to testify are requested to keep their
remarks within the parameters of addressing a text amendment to Section
18.34.040 of the Zoning Ordinance. Mayor Booth also explained the
hearing process would include a brief staff presentation and then the
public testimony opportunity. Mayor Booth opened the public hearing.
Senior Planner Lynn Rued presented page 4 of 18.34.040 which lists uses
in an industrial zone and which indicates a proposed additional use to the
zoning ordinance to include "Y. Commercial recreation, including animal
AUBURN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page No. 3
March 21, 1994
racetracks." He explained this proposed text amendment does not specify
a site, but should this text amendment be approved, the applicant would
then be able to apply for a conditional use permit. Mr. Rued noted that
conditional use permit issues; such as, traffic, noise, landscape
requirements, would be resolved under the conditional use hearing process
and not under a zoning text amendment process which was before the
Council tonight. Mr. Rued added the Planning Commission has
recommended the text amendment be added to the list of uses, and if the
Council concurs with the Planning Commission recommendation, a
conditional use permit could be reviewed by the Hearing Examiner on
April 19, 1994. Mr. Rued briefly noted the possibility of the Hearing
Examiner's recommendations and associated map amendment and street
vacation issues being placed before the Council as early as May 16, 1994.
Brent Carson. 1011 Western Avenue. Suite 902. Seattle
Mr. Carson stated he was an attorney for Northwest Racing Association,
and that the proposed text amendment before the Council this evening
amends industrial uses allowed in an M-2 zone of the zoning ordinance.
He noted this evening's discussions were not to judge the merits of a
racetrack, but rather a necessary step for the applicant to be heard. He
noted Northwest Racing Association is trying to save the horse racing
industry in this state. By use of a color-coded overhead map, he
illustrated a location identified as a proposed site for a race track.
Acting City Attorney Mike Reynolds cautioned Mr. Carson that his
comments had become site specific, and he advised Mr. Carson in order
to continue, his comments needed to be within the parameters of the
proposed text amendment.
Mr. Carson removed his map overlay and stated the text amendment did
not jeopardize loss of industrial land or recreational uses. He noted the
text amendment is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan, zoning
ordinance, and that an environmental impact statement has been prepared.
He feels the key issue for Council consideration is of compatibility of
recreational use. Mr. Carson noted there is broad support for the text
amendment by nearby businesses and property owners as well as at the
Planning Commission level.
Ron Crockett. 1820 W. Valley Highwav North
Mr. Crockett began his remarks by thanking the Council on behalf of the
industry. He noted Auburn was close to the fan base and that he has
been familiar with racetracks since boyhood, and that the text amendment
would save the industry.
Acting City Attorney Mike Reynolds cautioned Mr. Crockett that his
comments had become site specific, and he advised Mr. Crockett in order
to continue, his comments needed to be within the parameters of the
proposed text amendment.
AUBURN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page No. 4
March 21, 1994
Mr. Crockett ended his comments by requesting to testify should the
discussion become site specific.
Chris Clifford. 2721 Talbot Road South. Renton
Mr. Clifford stated he has attended all hearings with regard to the
project, and he expressed his personal appreciation for being a part of a
racetrack setting. He believes a text amendment in the M-2 zone is
beneficial to the city economically as well as to the environment,
specifically identifying uses of opportunity for high school students and
4-H students. He introduced a Mulligan Report with regard to Habitat
Island which was located at Longacres. Mr. Clifford urges the council
authorize the text amendment.
Mike Morrisette. 228 1st Street N.E.
Mr. Morrisette stated the Chamber has reviewed the application for a text
amendment. The Chamber members believe the request is compatible
with M-2 uses, and that the text amendment is a minor change. He
stated the text amendment provides protection for commercial uses to be
compatible, and that it will not take away other industrial uses. Mr.
Morrisette began noting there was considerable open land available in the
area.
Acting City Attorney Reynolds cautioned Mr. Morrisette his comments
with regard to acreage were specific. Mr. Reynolds noted another
possible hearing could result from Council's consideration of the text
amendment and that both hearings had to be fair.
Mr. Morrisette ended his comments by stating a text amendment change
would expand the economic base for Auburn.
Mike Brest. 1422 Raymond Avenue S.W.. Renton
Mr. Brest stated his family's business had been located near Longacres for
25 years. It is his opinion that two types of zoning operated successfully.
Raloh Vacca. P. O. Box 88258. Seattle
Mr. Vacca is the general manager of a breeders aSSOCIatIon. It is his
personal and professional opinion to recommend approval of recreational
zoning. He noted his own personal opinion of his own boyhood
experiences in going to a race track.
Mayor Booth reminded Mr. Vacca his comments needed to address
specifically the issue of the text amendment.
Mr. Vacca apologized for misunderstanding formalities and stated he
hoped for approval of recreational zoning.
Bill Kaust. 17656 157th Street S.E.
Mr. Kaust stated he was a land investor in Auburn and he believes the
zoning amendment request is compatible.

Marletta Deck. 5214 43rd Ct. S.E.. Lacy 98503
Ms. Deck is with a fair association. She urges a recreational zoning
changes noting that without the tax benefits, 4- H activities at fairs could
not have survived.
Ruth Stewart. 202 29th Street N.W.
Ms. Stewart stated she has lived on the site near the railroad tracks, and
that the property has been in her family since 1889 when the area was
known as Christopher.
Acting City Attorney Reynolds cautioned Ms. Stewart from speaking on
the background of a specific site, and he indicated further comments
needed to address the text amendment proposal.
Ms. Stewart is requesting the phrase "including animal racetracks" be
deleted or change the word "including" to "excluding". She is also
requesting that "commercial recreation" not mean amusement of
entertainment that is unwholesome or erotic in nature. Her request to the
Council is to vote no on the text amendment.
Jeffrey Eustis. 505 Madison. Suite 500. Seattle
Mr. Eustis is an attorney representing Citizens for the Protection of
Wetlands. He is concerned that a text amendment approach is not an
appropriate mechanism; he feels the appropriate approach is the rezone
process. He believes land use issues are guided by the comprehensiye
plan, which discusses what is appropriate in an industrial zone. He is
further concerned with the term "commercial recreation" which is not
defined by the zoning code and not clear. He feels commercial recreation
examples are golf courses, casinos, bingo halls, etc., which attract lots of
people and lots of traffic. He believes this scenario is inconsistent with
the comprehensive plan and zoning code which addresses on and off site
road improvements. He noted an environmental impact statement has
classified Highway 167 at a level "F", which is poor. He pointed out
projections of a racetrack would increase traffic approximately 18%,
which is inconsistent with the zoning code. Mr. Eustis summarized that a
rezone versus a text amendment is a better approach.
Mike Bocatch. III H Street S.E.. Auburn
Mr. Bocatch expressed concern that site specific statements were not
being allowed because he believes the face of the document before the
Council is site specific.
Mayor Booth noted the information before the Council pertains to the
requested zoning amendment.
Mr. Bocatch expressed frustration with being unable to understand the
hearing process. He further indicated concern with the term "animal
racetracks" and believes it should be "horse racetracks". He feels the term
,--
AUBURN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page No.6
March 21, 1994
"animal racetracks" opens the option of allowing other types of races; such
as, dog or mule races. Mr. Bocatch then began reading from the Planning
Commission minutes of March 8, 1994.
After reading from many passages of the Planning Commission minutes of
March 8, 1994, Mr. Bocatch summarized that the Council denied an
application for a vehicle emissions site located near the potential racetrack
site about a year ago because of the projected volume of vehicles into the
area. He believes the proposed racetrack use is incompatible because the
racetrack use would increase traffic near the same intersection of the
denied vehicle emissions site.
Helen Johnson. 411 South 261st Street. Kent
Ms. Johnson expressed her concern with prior hearing processes noting
that persons wishing to present an opposing testimony could not be heard
due to catcalls, and other types of noises. Ms. Johnson is worried that the
text amendment would also allow other uses; such as, nude dancing. She
is opposed to the proposed amendment.
Mark Kaufman. 1601 2nd Avenue. Seattle
Mr. Kaufman supports the proposed text amendment and feels that
activities associated with racing are beneficial, specifically, the location
would be a point of destination for the community. Mr. Kaufman also
believes that many proponents are persons who are employed, enjoy
family and community life, and should not be classified with anti-social
behaviors.
Patti McDonald. 32211 104th Place S.E.. Auburn
Ms. McDonald stated she supports the zoning amendment.
Mayor Booth asked if there were others in the audience wishing to
testify. Mayor Booth noted there were no further requests.
Motion by Councilmember Burns, second by Councilmember Barber, to
close the public hearing on Application No. MISOO 11-93ZC.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0.
Councilmember Kurle asked Senior Planner Lynn Rued to clear up some
of the confusion he heard during the public testimony. He specifically
asked why a text amendment for an M-2 zone rather than a rezone
process was utilized. Mr. Rued explained that policies in an M-l area
were different, but conditional use criteria were the same whether in an
M-l or M-2 zone. He noted that seeking a text amendment versus a
rezone was the choice of the applicant. Mr. Rued indicated state
environmental laws may dictate that an alternative site analysis be done,
and the property owner might not want to lose any of the heayy
industrial uses in an M-2, which would result from a rezone. Mr. Rued
emphasized that the conditional use process is the same for a rezone in an
AUBURN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page No. 7
March 21, 1994
M-l or a text amendment in an M-2. The application is prepared by the
applicant, and the property owner has chosen the least restrictive use in
case the development of a racetrack does not occur.
Councilmember Borden questioned why the term commercial recreation
was used and not specify animal racetracks. Mr. Rued explained during
the new zoning code development in 1987, the term was originally
included in an M-l site for a proposed development called Auburn
Downs. Mr. Rued noted animal racetracks would allow other types of
animal racing, and he did not want to exclude that option.
Councilmember Borden asked for a confirmation of her understanding
that potential traffic impacts would be addressed under the conditional
use process. Mr. Rued confirmed her understanding was correct.
Councilmember Burns stated prior to making a motion, he wished to
make some brief comments. He noted that similar racetrack use proposals
have been presented over the years, and he believes the issue before the
Council is to consider public policy. He commended Ms. Stewart for her
testimonies on her family's history, values, and concern for the industrial
valley. Councilmember Burns felt a commercial recreational area would
add character and flexibility to an area primarily developed with
warehouses. He belieyes it is in the best interests of the community to
approve the proposed text amendment.
Motion by Councilmember Burns, second by Council member Borden, to
introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 4662.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0.
