1 FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The Auburn School District has requested a rezone from R-
3 & R-4 to a P-l, Public Use, zone on property located
3 south of 37th Street S.E. and easterly of "D" Street S.E.
The purpose of the rezone is to allow for the
4 construction of a Junior High School. A Comprehensive
Plan Map amendment from the existing moderate and high
5 density residential to a Public & Quasi-Public
designation is also being processed.
2. On the site, the School District is proposing to
7 construct a 91,300± square foot building. There will
also be a running track, football/soccer fields, baseball
8 and softball fields, and parking for 268 cars and up to
25 buses. The site is 30.87 acres in size.
9
3. The site is largely vacant except for an existing single
lO family home and accessory buildings. To the north across
37th Street S.E. are mobile home parks and multi-family
ll
dwellings; to the east is multi-family; to the west is
12 multi-family and a mobile home park; and to the south is
the Segale "haul road" and a mobile home park.
13
4. If the property were to be developed under its existing.
zoning, it would result in 326 duplex units (163
14
duplexes) and 70 multi-family units, for a total of 396
]5 units. The 396 units require a minimum of 594 parking
spaces and will generate 2,609 vehicle trips each day.
18 Since a trip represents a car entering and leaving the
site, there would be 1300± cars generated by the existing
17 zoning. The R-3 & R-4 zone allow for a building height
of 30 feet, minimum setbacks of 5 feet, and up to 55% of
AS the lot may be covered with buildings.
19 5. In comparison the proposed school will have 268 parking
spaces which is 326 less than existing zoning. The
20 proposed school will generate 730 daily vehicle trips
while the existing zone generates 2609. Minimum setbacks
2! for the R-3 & R-4 zone are 5 feet. The P-1 zone requires
a 30-foot building setback from residentially zoned
22 property. Maximum building height in the R-3 & R-4 zone
is 30 feet. The school is proposed to be 36 feet in
23 height. Maximum building coverage in the R-4 zone is
55%. The school building will cover about 7% of the
24 site.

1 6. Access to the site will be from 37th Street S.E. The
2 City has recently approved a Local Improvement District
(LID) that will improve 37th Street. The improvements
consist of two lanes of travel and a center turn lane.
3 Lights and sidewalks will also be provided. The
construction of the improvements is planned for later in
4 1993.
5 7. The School District is pursuing this site for a junior
high school in lieu of a site the School District owns on
6 Dogwood Street S.E. The City had recently approved the
zoning for a junior high school on this property. The
7 property, however, is on the Muckleshoot Indian
Reservation and due to objections raised by the Tribe,
8 the School District is now proposing the site on 37th
Street S.E.
9
8. A portion of the site (3.75 acres) does lie within the
10 shorelines of the Stuck River. The school site, however,
does not abut the river itself. The Segale "haul road"
11 separates the school site from the river. The City's
Hearings Examiner is considering a Shorelines Management
!2 Permit application from the School District.
9. A comprehensive environmental review has been done on
]4 this project. The proponent has prepared geotechnical,
traffic, wetland, cultural resources, vegetation and
15 utility studies. Based upon this information, the City
issued a Final Mitigated Determination of Non-
Significance (MDNS) on April 9, 1993 The MDNS contained
16 '
a number of mitigating conditions related to wetlands,
storm drainage, landscaping and utilities.
17
10. Related Comprehensive Plan Policies:
18
19 Objective 6.1. To preserve and promote those community
facilities and programs that are important to the safety,
20 health and social needs of families and children.
21 Goal 26. To provide for the appropriate location and
development of public and quasi-public facilities that
22 serve the cultural, educational, recreational, religious
and public service needs of the community.
23
Objective 26.1. To provide for the appropriate location
24 and development of public and quasi-public facilities
that are regularly visited by those served.

] Policy 26.1.1. The location of religious institutions,
private schools, community centers, parks and similar
2 public or quasi-public facilities shall be related to the
size of the facility and the area served. Small
3 facilities intended to serve one or two' residential
neighborhoods may be located within a neighborhood.
4 Larger facilities with larger service areas shall be
located along arterials, and may require buffering where
5 adjacent to residential uses. Unusually large facilities
having service areas that extend substantially beyond the
8 City limits should be restricted to principal arterials,
and may require extensive buffering from adjacent uses.

8 CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
9
10 1. Another junior high school is needed to serve the
increased population and school enrollment that is
1] occurring in the Auburn area.
12 2. There are a limited number of sites available, within the
Auburn School District, that are of sufficient size
13 centrally located and can be sufficiently served by
streets and utilities as this site is.
14
3. Development of a school on this site as compared to
A5 developing the site, under existing zoning, will have
lesser impacts.
4. The project has received a comprehensive environmental
review and any impacts have been adequately mitigated.
