obtaining information on sexual offenders due to the
con~dentiality laws. She explained that the Sexual Assault
Resource Center, which receives funding from the City of
Auburn, is not fulfilling its obligation to aid victims of sexual
assault. She suggested the funding is not spent to aid
victims of sexual assault, but is used to pay overhead costs
of the organization. She spoke briefly of a family incident of
alleged sexual assault which resulted in retaliation by the
alleged offender. She suggested that funding would be
better spent on providing legal representation to child victims
of sexual assault rather to a sexual assault resource
organization.

RR (Rural Residential) to R-3 (Duplex).
Motion by Councilmember Wagner, second by
Councilmember Barber to introduce and adopt Ordinance
No. 5019.
Councilmember Poe questioned the purpose of the rezone.
Assistant Planning Director Rued explained that the
applicant desires to rebuild her single family home that was
recently damaged by fire. The existing Rural Residential
zoning requires larger setbacks than the R-3 zone. The
applicant desires to move the home from its existing
location, and would not be able to meet the setback
requirements under the Rural Residential zoning.
Councilmember Poe inquired whether the applicant would
be able to construct multiple units on the site if the rezone is
approved. Mr. Rued advised that it is possible to construct a
duplex on the property, but the applicant's plan is to build a
single family home.

rezone under consideration this evening. Assistant Planning
Director Rued responded in the affirmative. The Hearing
Examiner has made a recommendation on the rezone
application and on the appeal of the environmental review.
The appellant has requested a reconsideration of the
decision, and a decision on the reconsideration should be
issued this week.

problems next to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

properties surrounding the property at 2610 Hemlock Street
SE. The property to the west includes the FAA facility,
property to the north is zoned R-3, and property to the south

Council may approve the rezone with a restriction on the
number of units to two. Assistant Planning Director Rued
explained that the Council may either affirm or remand to the
Hearing Examiner without holding a hearing. If the Council
decides to modify or disaffirm the Hearing Examiner's

designated representative from the City of Auburn is not needed
