Amendments

This public hearing is an opportunity for public input prior to
consideration of the Year 2001 amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing on the 2001
Comprehensive Plan amendments and Principal Planner
David Osaki presented the staff report on the amendments.
Comprehensive Plan Map (CPM) Amendments
CPM #1 (Privately Initiated) - To amend the Potential Annexation Area
(PAA) boundary to include a portion of a parcel within the City of Auburn
PAA and to designate the proposed included property from Pierce
County "Moderate Density Single Family" (MSF) to City of Auburn "Single
Family Residential". Applicant: Matthew Sweeney on behalf of Prium
Development (applicant) and property owners (A&L Benedict Limited
Partnership, et al).
Mr. Osaki noted that the Planning Commission recommended denial of
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment No. 1. The proposal would
expand the Potential Annexation Area boundary to include an
approximately 15 acre triangular area, as indicated on an overhead slide,
and designate the area single family residential. Mr. Osaki explained that
the property in question was excluded as part of the Potential Annexation
Area through the execution of a Settlement Agreement between the City
of Auburn and the City of Bonney Lake. The City of Bonney Lake has
indicated no willingness to amend the Potential Annexation Area
boundary according to a letter dated August 16, 2001 from their
Community Development Director.
Matthew Sweeney, 6312 19th Street West, Ste D, Tacoma, WA, 98466
Mr. Sweeney spoke on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Sweeney advised
that he has not been able to secure support from the City of Bonney Lake
to amend the City of Auburn Potential Annexation Area. He reported that
the City of Bonney Lake has agreed to include his issue as part of their
work session scheduled in two weeks. Mr. Sweeney thanked the City of
Page 3
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes November 5, 2001
Auburn staff for their cooperation, Mr. Sweeney indicated he would bring
his request forward to the Council next year, provided the City of Bonney
Lake concurs.
CPM #2 (City Initiated) - To amend the Comprehensive Plan map from
"High Density Residential" to "Single Family Residential" for properties
generally located in the area of "O" Court SE, "N" Court SE, and 20th
Court SE so that the Comprehensive Plan Map reflects the single family
uses in this area.
Mr. Osaki explained that the affected area is commonly known as Velvet
Square and consists of eighteen single family lots and a storm water
tract. The area is currently zoned R-4 zoning. If the Comprehensive
Plan Map amendment is approved, the Single Family Residential
designation would most likely be implemented through R-2 (Single
Family Residential) zoning. The Planning Commission recommended
approval of the proposal, and it is supported by residents of the area.
Joann Fonda, 1210 20t~ Court SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Fonda spoke in favor of the Comprehensive Plan Map amendment.
Policy/Text (P/T) Amendments
P/T #t Auburn North Business Area Plan Amendment - Amend the
Auburn North Business Area Plan to, for those properties zoned C-3
(Heavy Commercial), delete the prohibition on service stations and to
allow retail gasoline dispensing facilities subject to performance
standards. Applicant: Barghausen Engineers on behalf of Fred Meyer.
Mr. Osaki explained that Barghausen Engineers, on behalf of Fred
Meyer, has requested that retail fuel dispensing facilities be allowed in
that portion of the Auburn North Business District zoned C-3, and
therefore only apply to the Fred Meyer site, The proposal, as
recommended by the Planning Commission, would allow for retail fuel
dispensing facilities in the C-3 zone as a permitted use subject to
development standards.
Bruce Crea.qer, Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc., 18215 72~d
Avenue South, Kent, WA, 98032

Auburn School District's Capital Facilities Plan 2001-2002 to 2006-2007
into the City's Comprehensive Plan. The impact fees remain unchanged
from last year. The City of Auburn collects the same impact fee for the
Auburn and Kent School Districts. The school impact fees are $2,500 for
a single family unit and $1,000 per each multi-family unit. The school
districts' net impact fee is higher than the amount approved and collected

update and clarify information to reflect state law and the adoption of the
Auburn Downtown Plan.

Transportation Element Policy TR-13, relating to the opening of dead end
streets. The Public Works Committee has not reviewed the proposed
