District) to "Interim C-2" (Central Business District) for
properties generally located on the north and south sides of
West Main Street between D Streets NW/SW and G Street
SW/H Street NW (not including West Auburn High School).

conduct a public hearing on interim zoning within 60 days of
its adoption.

interim C-2 zoning for an area generally along West Main
Page 2
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes April 2, 2001
Street between D Streets NW/SW and G Street SW/H Street
NW. Mr. Osaki recalled that the area in question was the
subject of a Comprehensive Plan amendment appreved last
year which changed its designation from Light Commercial
to Downtown with the intent that it would eventually be
rezoned C-2, Central Business District.
The interim zoning is in response to a development proposal
in the area that was affected by the February 2001
earthquake. The developer for the American Legion
Building located at West Main Street and F Street SW,
obtained a variance under the existing C-1 zoning to
redevelop the site and incorporate the existing walls. Due to
earthquake damage, the walls will not be integrated in the
redevelopment. In order to allow the redevelopment to
proceed and allow construction up to the property lines on
West Main Street and F Street, interim C-2 zoning is
proposed.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing. No one in the
audience requested to speak regarding the interim C-2
zoning.
Councilmember Singer moved and Councilmember Poe
seconded to close the public hearing.

in the process of selling his property. He recalled that in years
past, water would drain north from his property, located west of the
