Comprehensive Zoning Map amendments from R-2 (Single

property generally located east "1" Street NE, west of the
Green River, and south of 49th Street NE (if extended); from

(Light Industrial District) to C-3 (Heavy Commercial District)
for property generally located 200 feet east of the

Associate Planner Sean Martin presented the staff report for
the 2002 proposed zoning map amendments. The City is
initiating four area-wide amendments. The Planning
Commission held a hearing on the proposed amendments
on June 4, 2002 and recommended their approval. The
amendments include:
Exhibit 1 represents an area consisting of approximately 67
acres owned by the Port of Seattle for wetland mitigation.
The proposed amendment would rezone the area from the
existing R-2, Single Family Residential district, to P-l, Public
Use zoning district. The underlying Comprehensive Plan
designation was changed to Public/Quasi Public in 2002.
Exhibit 2 represents several islands of R-1 zoned property
from past annexations. The proposed amendment would
rezone the areas from P,-1, Single Family Residential, to
Page 2
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes July 1,200'~
2, Single Family Residential. The underlying
Comprehensive Plan designation is single family residential
and supports both R-1 and R-2 zoning.
Exhibit 3 represents the Velvet Square subdivision, which
was approved under the R-4, Multi-family residential
development standards in 1995. The underlying
Comprehensive Plan designation was changed in 2001 to
single family residential. The proposed amendment would
rezone the property from R-4, Multi-family residential, to R-2
Single Family Residential. The proposed R-2 zoning district
would enable 17 of the 18 lots of the subdivision to meet the
development standards for the zoning district. None of the
lots would be able to meet the R-1 development standards.
Exhibit 4 represents a small portion of property along
Auburn Way North and 30th Street NE. The proposed
amendment would rezone the property from M-l, Light
Industrial to C-3, Heavy Commercial. The property owner,
Valley Pontiac, had acquired additional property form the
adjacent user, and subsequently received a lot line
adjustment. The amendment is necessary for the property
owner to use the property for their current business
operations.
