LAKELAND 'HILLS PLAN Adopted by Resolution #1851
April 18, 1988
I. PLAN FRAMEWORB
A. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
T6e Comprehensive Plan for the City of Aubura was adopted in August 1986 and provides the overall
vision and policy framework for the City. The Comprehensive Plan provides a mechanism, called
Special Planning Areas, for detailed planning of large areas under single or coordinated management
within the Community Serving Area of the City. Each Special Planning Area is to have a specific plan
developed for it based on the goals, objectives and policies contained in- the Comprehensive Plan.
Because it is designated as a Special Planning Area, a specific plan has been prepazed for the Lakeland
Hills area. When adopted, the Lakeland Hills Plan is designed to be incorporated into the
Comprehensive Plan as a Plan Element.
The Lakeland Hills Plan is intended to provide long-term predictability to both the City and the
developer and will govem the future planning, wning, subdivision and development decisions of the
City as they apply to the subject area. This planning element is compatible with, and will comply with
the City's existing comprehensive street, water, sewer, and parks and recreation plans as they apply to
this area. To implement the Lakeland Hills Plan, the City will support individual zoning requests which
are consistent with the Lakeland Hills Plan.
B. ORGANIZATION AND SCOPE
The Lakeland Hills Plan applies the policy guidance contained in the Comprehensive Plan to the the
area known as Lakeland Hills. Plan policies aze discussed as they relate to three main subject areas:
land use; natural environment, parks and open space; and facilities. This plan is consistent with and
implements the key mitigation measures related to land use descn'bed in [he Environmental Impact
Statement prepared for the Lakeland Hills development.
The Lakeland Hills azea lies between the Stuck River and the southern City limits of Auburn in the
most southwestem part of the City. Although the entire development known as Lakeland Hills consists
of planned residential and commercial subdivisions and related development within the City of Auburn,
the City of Pacific, and in unincorporated Pierce County, this plan will specifically address only those
portions of the development lying within ihe City of Auburn.
II. EXISTIIVG CONDTI70NS
The development descn'bed as Lakeland Hills comprises approirimately 458 acres within the City of
Auburn. Lakeland Hills is proposed to be developed over a 20-year period. The first phase of the
project received preliminary plat approval in 1979 and is being developed; development approvals to
date include Divisions 1, 2, 3, 3-extensioa, and 4. Existing development is served by City of Auburn
water and sewer utilities. Other than this portion of the site, Lakeland Hills consists of undeveloped
land
The topography of the site generally slopes upwazd from the level, alluvial soils adjoining the Wlute
River to a plateau located to the south along the Pierce County line (500-600 feet in elevation). The
intervening hillside is reladvely steep with slopes that vary from 15-2001o on the north to more than 30%
on the west.

~ghborhood. Future single family residential areas
Lakeland HiUs Plan p9pg , .
which are currently zoned as "unclassified" will be zoned R-1 to be compatible with similarly zoned
lands outside the special planning area.
Policies:
LH-1.1. The Lakeland Hi1Ls Plan Map delineates areas which are designated for various uses. The
locadon and extent of areas designated for residential and commercial uses are described on the Plan
Map and summary table of land uses (page 3); the accompanying Conceptual Zoning Map depicts
zoning classifications which are appropriate in the future for the Lakeland HiUs special planning area.
LH-12. Consistent with the applicable comprehensive 'planning policies of the City, higher density
residendal development will be oriented to the lower elevations of the area at the base of the hill and
along Oravitz Road. At lower elevations these higher density uses can be most economically and
efficiendy served by appropriate water and sewer services, and traffic movements through single family
residential areas will be minimizrll,
LH-13. Higher elevations withia the azea will be reserved for single family residential neighborhoods.
1,114.4. Limited areas of commercial uses (primarily of C-l laght Commercial District character) are
appropriate at the base of the hill where immediate access is available to Oravetz Road. LH-1S. The design of all commercial development shall be integrated with and compadble
with the
design of adjacent park and residential uses.
B. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, PARRS AND OPEN SPACE
A planned residential development of the magnitude of Lakeland HiUs will require careful layout and
site planning to minimize adverse impacts on the environmeat, especially on the steep slopes present in
the area. The Lakeland Hills devclopment must also be consistent with the City's adopted Shoreline
Management Master Program, particularly the provisions regarding conservancy environments. It is
equally important that adequate park, open spacc, and rureational arcas and facilides be provided to
meet the needs of future residents within the development. Such areas should be provided by the
developer in a manner consistent with thc I,akeland HiUs EIS, the City of Aubum's Park and Recre-
ation Plaq and the following policies.
PoUcirs:
LH-2.1. Future plats and multiple family developments shall be designed SO 8S t0 IIlini*ni7p the
potentially severe erosion hazards descn'bed in the Lakeland HiUs EIS.
LH-22. Intensive development shall avoid sensitive slopes and gullies, retaining natural vegetation in
such areas for erosion and sedimentation control.
LH-23. Consistent with t6e provisions of the Auburn Park and Recreation Plan, the equivalent of 7.25
acres of park land s6all be provided for each 1,000 Lakcland Hills residents. Estimated population
shall be computed based on the 2.5 persons per household reported for the city in the 1980 U.S. Census
of Population.
LkiWnd Hills Plan page q . .
LH-2.4. Park land shall be based on land suitable for adive recreational use and does not include areas
retained as open space due to erosion hazards or other physical limitations on development. The Mill
Pond may be included as park land if it indudcs a 50-foot-wide strip of land azound its perimeter and a
means of public access is provided.
LH-2S. Park land to be dedicated shall be consistent with the Lakeland Hills Plan Map and Plan
policies (the Plan Map does not show the location of all park land since some options exist for pazk
land location, as descn'bed below). The following dedica6ons shall be considered to be the minimum
required to serve the development. T'hese dedications include land for both neighborhood and
community parks as described in the Auburn Park and Recreatioa Plan.
- (1) The developer shall dedicate at least ZO acres of land adjacent to the Wlute River
within the planning area boundary as indicated on the Lakeland Hi1Ls Plan Map.
At the time property adjacent to the White River park land is developed, the
developer shall provide a dense, indigenous vegetative screen along the boundary
separating such development from the park. This vegetative screen shall adequately
shield and separate recreational activities from adjacent development, as approved by
the Auburn Parks and Recreation Director. Since this vegetative screening would be
necessary in order to make the park land of any value whatscever to the City for
recreational purposes, [his improvement shall not be counted in lieu of required land
dedication.
(2) The developer shall provide a pathway from the southern City limits to the water
hont of the Stuck River. Where physically possble, the path shall be developed with
an eight (8) foot wide asphalt traiL The trail may be nanower where necessitated by
physical limitations. While the trail may require some use of street right-of-way, this
shall be limited only to those azeas where a trail cannot be physically provided due to
topography. Since pavement of the pathway wi11 be necessary in order to provide any
recreational value whatscever to the City, the value of this pavement shall not be
counted in lieu of required land dedication. The pathway, including improvements,
may be counted as up to 21 acres of the required open space dedicadon for the
Lakeland Hills developmenL
(3) The developer shall dedicate at least 5 acres of land in the southern portion of
Lakeland Hills as indicated on the Lakeland Hills Plan Map. This land shall have a
grade of no more than 3°,6, shall have dired street frontage along one of its sides, and
shall have dired, general public aaxss on a second side.
(4) The developer shall dedicate an additiona110 acres of land which may include any
combination of the following (these options aze intended to provide some flem'bility to
the developer while still meeting the minimum needs for the development):
Up to 10 additional acres adjoining the ZO-acre riverfront dedicadon
dcscn'bcd in (1) above;
Up to 10 acres of adjoining riverfront land outside the Lakeland
Hills Special Planning Area to the east;
Up to 10 acres of pazk land surrounding the mm pond;
Up to 2 additional acres adjoining the 5-acxe park to be located in
the southern portion of the development (descn'bed in (3) above.
. t ~ Lakeland Hills P1an . ' ' • ' ' ' page S . ,
LH-2.6. In addition to the minimum dedications described in policy LH-2.5, additional land may be
needed in order to meet the Auburn Park and Recreation Plan standards of 7.25 acres per 1000
population. Any additional pazk land needed to fulfill this requirement shall be added so as to meet
the locational criteria in LH-2.5 (4) above.
LH-2.7. At the time of the first housing developmeat plan approval following adoption of this element,
sufficient dedications shall be accomplished to provide for previously approved development within
Lakeland Hills.
LH-2.8. The developer may provide morc than the requircd amount of park azea for any particular
• _ deyelopment proposal, in which case the developer shall be provided credit for future development
proposaLs.
C. FACILiTIFS
A portion of the azea is presendy subdivided and developed with detached single family residential
homes. Utili6es and sUeet facilities have been constructed with sufficient capacity to serve these
developed areas. In addition, these facilities have been sized in anticipation of future site development.
Clurently there aze sufficient water, sewer and street facilides available to support Divisions 1, 2, 3, 3-
extension, and 4. F'inal approval of any additional development shall be dependent upon the provision
of adequate public facilities to support such development as outlined in the follovving policies.
Pollcies:
LH-3.1. Major street patterns within the Lakeland Hills development shall be designed to serve the
entire devetopment, and must aLso show reasonable compatibility with other azeas outside of the
Special Planning Area (e.g. into Pierce County, to the East Valley Highway, and to "R" Street S.E. or
Oravetz Road).
LH-32. Future street design shall be shown with sufficient detail (i.e. overlayed on topography) to
determine if City standards such as gade and alignment can be met.
LH-33. Major street patterns shall, at a minimum, be consistent with those indicated on the Lakeland
Hills Plan Map and the adopted Auburn Comprehensive Traffic Plan.
LH-3.4. The "A" SUeet bridge in the City of Pacific is inadequate to support the traffic wluch will be
generated by full development of the area. Further final devetopment approwals will depend on the
exristence of the adequate capacity of this bridge and its access roads to accommodate the antiapated
traffic. Virithout adequate assurances by the developer to financially participate in the improvement of
the "A" street bridge area, no fwther development approwals will 6e granted beyond Division 4. The
degree of participation by the developer will consist of a cash payment of 5200,000 to be used to help
construd t6e "A" Street S.E. bridge/road wideniag project. T6e developer shall be responsible for the
realignment of Oravetz Road and extension of Lakeland Hills Boulevard to "A" Steet SE, to be
consistent with the new street pattem showa on the Lakeland Hills Plan Map.
LH-3S. Prior to any addi6onal plat approvals after Division 4, master utility plans shall be provided to
the City by the developer. The content and land area to be covered in these master plans shall be
determined by the PubGc Works Department. These plans may necessitate the dedication of additional
property and easements as required to serve such utilities.

LH-3.6. Future sewer lines shall be designed to provide service to all lots, identify expected pump
station locations, and be designed to serve property beyond this development.
LH-3.7. Water systems installed to serve the area south of the White River should originate south of
the river. If adequate water sowce.s, as determincd by the City, cannot be found south of the river,
then alternate sources may be considered.
LH-3.8. Water test wells shall be drilled in advance of final plat approval for areas of need.
LH-39. Storm water facilities shall be designed in conformance with the Citys plans, policies and
spccafications.
