Downtown Revitalization Catalyst Area
I. INTRODUCTION
N
Until the latter part of the last century, Auburn was a relatively free-standing community
separated from the urban centers of Seattle and Tacoma by miles of farmland. As such, Auburn's
downtown provided a full range of goods and services to serve local needs.
Starting in the 1960's, improved highway connections made a larger regional area accessible for
employment, shopping, services, and entertainment. Concurrently, downtown Auburn, like
many smaller city downtowns, began a long period of decline, with an exodus of anchor
downtown retailers and subsequent disinvestment by property owners in maintenance and
upkeep. This has resulted in a deterioration of business property tax and sales tax revenue for
the City.
Downtown has recently begun to rebound from this long period of decline. The seeds of a
renaissance have been sown, marked by the recent completion of the following projects:
• Former TC Penney Building: After a decade of being empty, this building was
rehabilitated into a 30-unit mixed-use development.
• Truitt Building: Completed 2003, containing ground floor restaurant with offices above.
• Auburn Regional Medical Center (ARMC expansion: ARMC expanded by 108,000 SF
• Armory Site: Development of a new building on the Armory site on West Main Street,
now occupied by the Public School Employees Union.
• Auburn Tustice Center: Rehabilitated an existing building at the eastern edge of
downtown Auburn on East Main Street.
• Auburn Station: Sound Transit's construction of a commuter rail station, transit station,
parking garage, surface parking with ground floor commercial space in the garage.
• Auburn Dinner Theater: City has ensured continued long-term operation of this historic
landmark with responsibility for year round event programming. Goal is to create a
nightlife destination downtown.
Nonetheless, there is still much work to be done. Numerous buildings are in poor condition,
vacant lots exist, development density is low, and many buildings contain uses inconsistent with
a vibrant downtown.
II. CITY VISION AND GOALS
Vision and Goals
The Auburn Comprehensive Plan and the Downtown Plan establish the City's vision and goals
for redevelopment of the Downtown Revitalization Catalyst Area. Key principles of this vision
and these goals include:
6/7/07 2 7:46 AM
1. Providing opportunities to increase the City's business, property, and sales tax base,
thereby helping to fund public improvements and public services and mitigating the tax
burden on residential properties.
2. Utilizing private enterprise to the maximum extent possible and encourage public-
private partnerships, in order to achieve desired outcomes.
3. Encouraging higher density mixed use development, to allow people to live close to
transit and to minimize the intrusion of higher density housing in the outlying
neighborhoods.
4. Encouraging uses that create a lively environment with both daytime and nighttime uses.
5. Providing a development pattern that supports pedestrian movement, bicycles, and use
of public transit.
III. CORE STRATEGIES
The City of Auburn has adopted a strategic plan for the Downtown Revitalization Catalyst Area
that is comprised of six core elements. These elements establish a platform for revitalization by
leveraging city efforts and public investment to achieve development of multiple catalyst blocks,
thereby contributing to downtown's renaissance.
1. Acquisitions: Acquire parcels that provide opportunities to aggregate properties and
facilitate revitalization efforts.
2. Incentives: Provide incentives for projects that will provide appropriate long-term public
benefit consistent with the City's Vision and Goals.
3. Regulations: Amend City regulations and standards as needed to promote development
consistent with the City's Vision and Goals.
4. Studies: Spearhead underlying studies as appropriate to streamline future environmental
reviews for developers and inform market demand for desired land uses downtown.
5. Design: Implement design guidelines that promote the Downtown Revitalization
Catalyst Area as a unique district, promote quality development while respecting the
tradition of the community, and that clearly communicate these guidelines to existing
and future property owners and developers.
6. Public Facilities and Amenities: Identify both necessary and desired public elements
within the Downtown Revitalization Catalyst Area, and implement steps to achieve
them.
7. Parking: The City of Auburn will require development to provide adequate parking.
This strategic plan will track redevelopment efforts related to the Downtown Revitalization
Catalyst Area, which is currently focused on eight (8) discrete projects on as many city blocks, as
well as an agreement with King County Metro that could be incorporated into one of the eight
projects or result in an additional, ninth (9) project. Should additional catalyst blocks come into
play in the future, this list will be revised as appropriate:
1. Annex Block
2. Project ACE Block
3. Chamber of Commerce Block
4. Auburn Regional Medical Center (ARMC) Parking Garage Block
5. Marvel/Sunbreak Block
6. Crites/Huff Block
7. Mel's Hardware Block
6/7/07 3 7:46 AM
8. City Parking Lot Block
9. KC Metro TOD Agreement
This strategic plan is intended to serve both as a touchstone document that apprises team
members of the status of each project as well as a dynamic tool that will assign action items to
team members to move each project forward. The intent is to foster new catalyst development
consistent with the City's goals.
IV. CITY EFFORTS AND INCENTIVES
To implement the six core elements of the strategic plan, the City has established, or is presently
undertaking, numerous efforts and incentives in order to implement the six core elements of the
strategic plan. These include:
Planning & Regulatory
1. Traffic Impact Fee Exemption for development within the downtown urban center.
(Sunset date June 2007).
2. Waiver of storm drainage (SDC) fees in the downtown core if redevelopment does not
increase impervious surface area (Sunset date June 2011).
3. Multi-family property tax exemption in the downtown urban center for qualifying new
developments of at least 30 housing units and $200,000 of investment in each unit
(Program Reevaluation August 2008).
4. Amended the zoning code in 2007 to create a new Downtown Urban Center (DUC)
zoning district allowing uses the City wishes to see downtown, prohibiting uses deemed
inconsistent with the vision for downtown, and providing for Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
standards.
5. Urban Center: Sought and obtained an "urban center' designation through King County
and the PSRC. This provides eligibility for certain transportation funding programs.
6. Community Renewal Plan (CRP): After an open public process, a Community Renewal
Plan was adopted in 2006. This gives the City greater flexibility to assemble and sell land
for the purposes of redevelopment, and acknowledges that redevelopment of downtown
is in the interest of public health, safety, morals, and welfare of the residents of the City
of Auburn.
7. Underl~in~ Studies: City is conducting the underlying studies related to transportation
and utility requirements that would otherwise be required for any development in the
downtown core. These studies will facilitate future development by streamlining
required environmental reviews.
8. Parking Study: City currently updating downtown parking study from 2002 to better
understand both current and future parking supply and demand, and to identify
strategies to meet future parking needs.
9. Building_Code: City has accepted an approach to allow 5 + 2 construction.
Urban Design
10. Design Standards: In 2007, the City adopted new building and site design standards that
promote high-quality development while respecting the integrity of historic buildings.
11. Promenade Master Planning: City has engaged Mark Hinshaw of LMN Architects. Focus
is on how to create a sense of place downtown with specific attention toward design
treatments to Division Street and the intersection of Division and Main Streets. This
work will also tie into preferred design concept for upgrading City Hall Plaza.
6~~~0~ 4 x:46 AM
12. Sidewalk Des~n Guidelines: Currently revising, with expected completion date in 2007.
Focus is on appropriate sidewalk widths in context of two street classes (Tier 1 and 2), as
well as appropriate materials that will create a sense of place in the downtown.
Utilities and Infrastructure
13. FAST: Constructed the Fast Action Strategy (FAST) Corridor project in 2002 that now
enables traffic to move into downtown unimpeded and avoid delays associated with
BNSF freight trains.
14. A Street Improvements: Considering improvements to A Street NW to improve the
pedestrian experience while maintaining recognition of its importance for automobiles.
15. Promenade Master Planning: Developing an order-of-magnitude cost estimate for
improvements.
16. UtilitX Upsizing Analysis: Estimating infrastructure requirements for full redevelopment
of the eight project blocks of the Downtown Revitalization Catalyst Area.
Other
17. Market Analysis: Retained Gardner Johnson to conduct a market analysis for the
Downtown Revitalization Catalyst Area (completed November 2006).
18. Fiscal Impact Anal sis: Engaged Berk and Associates to conduct a fiscal impact analysis
for the Downtown Urban Center (completion timeframe June 2007).
19. Acquisition of strategically-located parcels downtown in an effort to facilitate
redevelopment.
20. Annex: Acquisition of parcels as required for the purpose of constructing a City Hall
Annex. Upon completion, this will allow the City to better serve Auburn residents.
Since the current City Hall was constructed in the late 1970's, Auburn s population has
increased by 138 percent.
21. Downtown Catalyst RFP: The City issued an RFP for redevelopment of city-owned
parcels on blocks 3, 5, and 6 in the Summer of 2006. The Stratford Company (TSC) was
the selected respondent. Negotiations for an agreement regarding these parcels is in
process.
22. Heartland: Engaged Heartland to provide strategic planning and negotiation as well as
project management support related to the nine projects in the Downtown Revitalization
Catalyst Area.
V. REGULATORY OVERVIEW
Zoning
All property in Downtown Revitalization Catalyst Area is zoned "Downtown Urban Center'
(DUC). Zoning was changed from C-2 (Central Business District) to DUC in early 2007 to better
reflect the City goals and objectives for the downtown urban center. Key elements of the DUC
zone include:
• Ground floor retail, restaurants, and/or office use is required for all building frontages
facing Main Street.
• Density is based on Floor Area Ratios (FAR). Code encourages residential uses south of
Main Street and encourages commercial uses north of Main Street.
• Generally, bonuses are given for features that support or increase pedestrian orientation
and movement.
• Minimum building height is two stories. Basic maximum building height is 75 feet, but
can be exceeded via bonuses.
6/7/07 5 7:46 AM
Off- Street Parking
Off-street parking requirements are listed in the chart below. Retail and restaurant uses less than
3,000 square feet (SF) are exempt, and a 25 percent reduction is allowed for shared parking
facilities. On-street parking may be used to satisfy requirements if located directly adjacent to the
development. Additionally, parking can be located off-site if located within 1,000 feet of the
development. Alternatively, the developer can elect for payment-in-lieu of providing parking
directly.
