Background Summary: Ordinance No. 6265 provides for the revision of certain sections of Chapter 13.40, Facility Extensions, and Section 12.04.050, Authorities for public infrastructure and right-of-way management, of the Auburn City Code. Chapter 13.40 of the Auburn City Code sets forth the City's standards and procedures for the extensions of water, sewer, and stormwater facilities by developers, including the requirements for facility extension agreements and payback agreements. The recent adoption of revisions to Title 17 included the incorporation of references to Chapter 13.40 for all public infrastructure improvements and the revisions proposed herein are to incorporate transportation requirements into the Facility Extension requirements of ACC 13.40 and provide clarification of what entails utility improvements. The revisions proposed in 12.04.050 are intended to remove requirements for the city's management of Facility Extension agreements which duplicate those requirements identified in Chapter 13.40.
