Associate Planner Sean Martin presented the staff report on
the 2000 Comprehensive Zoning Map Amendments. The
City initiated area-wide zoning changes at ten locations in
the city. The goal of the amendments is to align the existing
zoning designation to the existing Comprehensive Plan
designation. Mr. Martin reviewed each of the ten locations
proposed for zoning changes using an overhead projector to
display the ten exhibits.
Zoning Change Area B1 (Exhibit B1) represents the Lea Hill
reservoir property. Staff proposes rezoning the parcel from
R1, Single Family Residential, which is default zoning after '
annexation, to LHP1, Lea Hill Public Use.
Zoning Change Area B2 (Exhibit B2) represents the Olson
Canyon Park and the Auburn Golf Course. Staff proposes a
rezone of the Olson Canyon Park from R1, Single Family
Residential, and the golf course from P1 to LPH1, Lea Hill
Public Use.
Page 3
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August 7, 2000
Zoning Change Area B3 (Exhibit B3) represents a thirty-one
acre site.located north of the 3200 block of "1" Street NE and
owned by the City's storm utility. Staff recommends a
rezone from the existing R-2, Single Family Residential, to
P1, Public Use.
Zoning Change Area B4 (Exhibit B4) represents Lakeland
Hills Park, a five-acre park located in the Lakeland area.
The park was dedicated to the City in 1993 and has been
used and maintained as a City park facility since that time.
Staff recommends rezoning the park from R-2 to P1, Public
Use.
Zoning Change Area B5 (Exhibit B5) represents the
remnants of an unclassi~ed zoning district established when
the Lakeland area was annexed in 1968. The unclassified
area remained pending the final alignment of Lakeland Hills
Way. Staff proposes to rezone the properties west of
Lakeland Hills Way to R4, which is consistent with adjacent
properties, and to rezone properties east of Lakeland Hills
Way to R2, which is consistent with adjacent properties.
Zoning Change Area B6 (Exhibit B6) represents an 81-acre
site located east of developed area in Lakeland Hills area.
Staff proposes rezoning the site from Unclassified to R1,
Single Family Residential. Mr. Martin explained that the
Unclassified zone assumes the same development
standards as the R1 district, and the change in zoning does
not increase the site's development potential or result in
greater density.
Zoning Change Area B7 (Exhibit B7) represents a 21-acre
site contiguous to and under the ownership of the Auburn
Municipal Airport. In 1997, the Comprehensive Plan
designation was changed from Light Industrial to
Public/Quasi Public.Staff proposes to amend the zoning
from M1, Light Industrial, to Landing Field, in support of
future airport operations.
Zoning Change Area B8 (Exhibit B8) represents
approximately forty-two acres in north central area of
Page 4
City of Auburn Council Meetin.Q Minutes August 7, 2000
Auburn. The existing zoning designation for each one of the
parcels is R1, Single Family Residential. Staff proposes a
zoning change to Institutional for the Thomas Academy
properties. Properties with frontage or approximate
orientation to Auburn Way North are proposed for C3, Heavy
Commercial. Properties remaining in the area are proposed
for M1, Light Industrial. The proposed zoning changes are
supported by the existing Comprehensive Plan designations.
Zoning Change Area B9 (Exhibit B9) represents a
developing commercial corridor along Auburn Way South
approximately 9.3 acres in size. Staff proposes to amend
the zoning from CN, Neighborhood Commercial, to C1, Light
Commercial. The Light Commercial zoning district provides
a broader spectrum of uses but still provides for a more
neighborhood supported type use. Additionally, staff
proposes zoning changes to effect alignment of the Light
Commercial zoning district with the existing parcel lines.
The Light Commercial district would be applied on parcels
with frontage on Auburn Way South, resulting in a rezone
from R4, Multiple Family Residential to C1, Light
Commercial at a point north of the right-of-way and a rezone
from CN, Neighborhood Commercial to R3, Duplex
Residential at a point south of the right-of-way.
Councilmember Wagner questioned whether staff
considered retaining the CN zoning on the southerly portions
of two parcels which are adjacent to residential districts. He
also asked whether it is legal for one lot to have more than
one zoning district. Assistant Planning Director Rued
responded that it is possible for one lot to have more than
one zoning district designation. Mr. Rued explained that a
few years ago, the City Council changed the Comprehensive
Plan designation for the parcels in question from CN,
Neighborhood Commercial, to C1, Light Commercial. The
reason the Commercial zoning extends the full depth of the
parcels is to reflect the existing heavy commercial uses that
exist there now, Northwest Pump and Drilling.
In response to a question from Councilmember Brothers,
Associate Planner Martin explained that the CN and C1
zones permit small-scale retail, personal services, and
Page 5
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes August 7, 2000
professional offices. The primary difference between the
two zones is through the conditional use permit process
where the CN district has very limited uses and the C1
allows more intense commercial development. The CN
zone has a greater setback to residential districts and to
property lines while the C1 has more conservative setbacks
for traditional commercial development.
Zoning Change Area B10 (Exhibit B10) represents
approximately 3.5 acres located north of West Main Street
and bounded by the commercial corridor of West Main
Street and industrial zoning to the north. Staff proposes to
rezone the area from M2, Heavy Industrial, to R4, Multiple
Family Residential in support of the Comprehensive Plan.
The subject area consists of 18 lots; 14 of which are
developed with single family homes. During the Planning
Commission review, the Planning Commission
recommended to maintain the existing M2, Heavy Industrial,
designation on the four properties that have frontage on "H"
Street and the vacant lot.
In response to a question from Councilmember Wagner, City
Attorney Reynolds responded that City Councils are allowed
to down zone property.
Councilmember Singer questioned the screening
requirements between the proposed M2 and the R4 districts.
Associate Planner Martin explained a development in the
M2 zone would require a thirty foot rear yard setback with
required landscaping and a thirty foot setback from street
right-of-way.
Councilmember Lewis referred to Exhibit B8 and questioned
the number of single family homes in the areas currently
designated RI which are proposed for rezone to M1.
Associate Planner Martin stated that approximately 60% to
70% of the lots are developed single family homes. The
single family homes would become a nonconforming use in
the M1 zone. Through the City's nonconforming code, the
residences could continue in perpetuity as long as they are
maintained as single family homes. Councilmember Lewis
questioned the history of the Comprehensive Plan
Page 6
Citv of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August 7, 2000
designation. Mr. Martin explained that the Comprehensive
Plan designation for the area had been set as light industrial.
The annexation of the area assigns it a default zone of R1
unless a rezone is specifically sought at the time of
annexation. Assistant Planning Director Rued added that
the area has been planned for light industrial since 1986.
Mr. Rued explained that during the annexation of the area,
property owners were made aware that the area would be
annexed with the default R1 zoning and that individual
applications for rezone to M1 would be entertained to be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Map.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing.
Alan Keimi.q, Keimig & Associates, Architects, 216 "A" Street
NW, Auburn, WA
Mr. Keimig commented on Exhibit B10. Mr. Keimig stated
he is looking at the feasibility of constructing an office
building on lots fronting "H" Street NW at 12 and 22 ".H"
Street NW. The proposed rezone to R4 for the area makes
it nearly impossible to develop an office building because of
setback requirements. With the current zoning, an office
building would be possible and compatible with existing
res. idences along "H" Street. He spoke in favor of retaining
the M2 zoning designation to provide current property
owners with a better economic resource than under the
proposed R4 zoning designation. Associate Planner Martin
commented that an office building could be constructed in
an M2 zone with an administrative use permit. A conditional
use permit would be required in order to construct an office
building in the R4 zone. Assistant Planning Director Rued
added that setbacks are less in the R4 zone. The M2 zone
has a thirty foot front yard setback while the R4 has a twenty
foot front yard setback. The M2 has a thirty foot rear yard
setback'while the R4 requires a twenty-five foot rear
setback.
Marilyn Dollinger, 12 "G" Street NW, Auburn, WA
Ms. Dollinger questioned the reasoning for proposing R4
Multi Family Residential zoning rather than single family
zoning. Assistant Planning Director Rued explained that the
City changed the Comprehensive Plan designation for the
Page 7
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes Au.qust 7, 2000
area a few years ago from industrial to R4 Multi-family
residential in order to preserve the single family homes and
also provide an incentive for redevelopment of the area. Ms.
Dollinger also complained about the number of trucks
traveling on "G" Street NW. She advised there is no "No
Truck" signage on "G" Street NW. She also stated that "G"
Street NW is in poor condition. Public Works Director Engler
advised there are no improvements scheduled for
nonarterial streets in the area. Ms. Dollinger asked about
the effect of zoning on property taxes. Finance Director
Supler stated that property taxes are typically based on the
value of the property and buildings.
David Grambush, 102 "H" Street NW, Auburn, WA
Mr. Grambush identified himself as a resident of the area for
over twenty-two years. His home, located at 102 "H" Street
NW, was constructed in 1906. He spoke in favor of
residential zoning and preserving the old homes in the area
of Exhibit B10. Mr. Grambush advised that the "No Trucks"
signage on "H" and "F" Streets does not deter trucks from
using the streets.
Virginia Haugen, 2503 "R" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Haugen commented that the proposed zoning change
described in Exhibit B10 will increase property taxes for the
residents.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Lewis
seconded to table consideration of the 2000 Comprehensive
.Zoning Map Amendments until the next regular Council
meeting and refer the item to the Planning and Community
Development Committee for additional review.
Councilmember Borden expressed concern with the
proposed amendments contained in Exhibit B10.
Page 8
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes August 7, 2000
Councilmember Poe expressed concern with the proposed
zoning map amendments described in Exhibits B9 and B10.
He suggested that the Northwest Pump and Drilling lots
extending between the R3 and R4 zoning districts should be
zoned R4. Councilmember Poe spoke against multi family
zoning for the area described in Exhibit B10.
Councilmember Wagner concurred with Councilmember
Poe's comments regarding Exhibit B9 and spoke in favor of
respecting the single family homes that exist in the area of
Exhibit B10.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
B. Audience Participation
This is the place on the agenda where the public is invited to speak
to the City Council on any issue.
Virginia Hau.cjen, 2503 "R" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Haugen spoke in favor of tabling consideration of the 2000
Comprehensive Zoning Map amendments. She congratulated the
Auburn Fire Department as the recipient of donated fire
extinguishers. She presented petitions requesting the City of
Auburn and the owners of the Longhorn Restaurant make an effort
to put the Pastime Tavern building and Truitt building facade on the
state and national historical registers. The petition states that both
properties are of significant historical value to the City of Auburn
and its residents and urges the City to preserve the written histories
of the sites and marking their locations with permanent signage.
Alan Keimig, Keimig & Associates, 204 "A" Street NW, Auburn, WA
Mr. Keimig reminded the City Council to address the height
regulations and the parking issues in the downtown area to ensure
redevelopment of the "Pastime Tavern" building.
Harley Giltvedt, 1110 21st Street SE, Auburn, WA
Mr. Giltvedt spoke regarding the Sister City Program including its
origin and the City of Auburn's Sister City affiliations. He advised
that on September 11, 2000, approximately eighteen people from
Auburn's Sister City of Kasuga-cho, Japan, will be visiting in the
city of Auburn. He spoke regarding the need to appropriately
recognize Sister City visitors. He spoke of his experiences and
Page 9
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes Aunust 7, 2000
treatment while visiting the Sister City of Kasuga-cho and hoped
that comparable recognition could be conveyed to the Japanese
visitors. He requested the City contribute funds to the Sister City
Program to ensure appropriate recognition to the City's visitors.
Steve Le Penske, 1307 13th Street NE, Auburn, WA
Mr. Le Penske described his visits to the City's Sister City of
Kasuga-cho, Japan. He spoke regarding the differences in
recognition of Japanese visitors to Auburn to the experiences of
Auburn residents to the City of Kasuga-cho. Mayor Auburn stated
that the City of Auburn hosts a coffee hour and gift exchange for
each visit to the City of Auburn by residents of Kasuga-cho. Mr. Le
Penske stated that private homes and private organizations provide
a majority of the hosting and touring. He asked the Council to
consider ways the City could lend support to the Sister City
Program.
Kathy Johnson, 12724 SE 254th Place, Kent, WA
Ms. Johnson identified herself as an employee of Green River
Community College in Auburn. She spoke regarding the Sister City
Program and of her experiences on a Sister City visit to Kasuga-
cho, Japan and as a host of visitors from Kasuga-cho. Ms.
Johnson presented a draft agenda and itinerary for the Sister City
visitors arriving on September 11. She also presented information
on the cost of transportation and lunch for the visitors.
Councilmember Bordon questioned the City's plans for hosting the
Kasuga-cho visitors on September 11, 2000. Parks and
Recreation Director Deal referred to Resolution No. 3216,
appearing later on this evening's agenda, which establishes a
Sister City affiliation policy and establishes a Sister City Advisory
Committee. Mr. Deal stated that for the past thirty-two years, the
Lions Club has done much of the coordination for the Sister City
visits. The purpose of the Resolution is to establish a formal
process and enhance Sister City relationships. Some City
equipment and City staff will be made available for the Sister City
visit on September 11.
Mayor Booth stated that the City would be concerned with the
transfer of the Sister City organization and structure to the City.
The City is unable to supply a budget for the Sister City Program in
addition to other responsibilities.
Page 10

Sister City Program.
Ron Bohlman, 2710 24th Street SE, Auburn, WA

Program for the last twenty years. He requested more participation
from City Councilmembers in the Sister City visits.
Councilmember Brothers
Councilmember Brothers advised that he received a complaint from
a citizen regarding the gravel pit operation on "M" Street SE. The
citizen complained that the batch plant was evidently operating at
3:00 AM. Planning and Community Development Director Paul
Krauss explained that the "M" Street gravel pit operation is the
Miles Sand and Gravel pit operation which has several issues
which need to be addressed. It is not the same pit operation that
was approved by Council on July 17, 2000.

VIII. MAYOR'S REPORT
A. November Election - Impact Fees Ballot Issue
Mayor Booth expressed concern with the impact fee ballot issues
scheduled for the November 2000 election. He indicated that the
ballot issues, even if approved by the electorate, or imposed by the
Council could be held invalid because of Initiative 695 and other
pending initiatives. He suggested removing the impact fee issues
from the November ballot until the Supreme Court issues its
decision on Initiative 695 and pending the outcome of Initiative 722.
Councilmember Wagner commented that if the Supreme Court
issues a positive decision for the cities within the next month, the
City should proceed with the fall ballot measures.
Councilmember Poe questioned why the City's ballot measures
would be held invalid regardless of the Court's decision on Initiative
695. Finance Director Supler advised there is some question
whether the Court decision would apply to all cities or only those
that currently have the injunction.
Councilmember Borden noted the Council must decide by
September 18, 2000 on whether to proceed with the ballot issues
or to withdraw them. She also expressed concern with the lack of
public information made available on the upcoming ballot issues.
Councilmember Wagner suggested starting the public education
process now and include an article in the Auburn Reporter each
month.
Mayor Booth stated Mr. Hugh Spitzer of Foster Pepper and
Shefelman will be invited to the next Council meeting to brief the
Council on the status of Initiative 695. Mayor Booth also indicated
the public education process on the impact fee ballot issues will
begin immediately.
City Attorney Reynolds commented that if the Court strikes down
Initiative 695, the Council does not have the authority to submit a
ballot issue to the electorate to impose impact fees. The Council
has the authority to submit ballot issues for advisory only. The

Council would have to make the decision on whether to impose
impact fees.
