Re: May 4, 2011 Committee of WholeAgenda Itemll - Green Zone Update
Summary:
The Green Zone, located west of Downtown Aubum and the Interurban Trail, is a commonly used
tertn to describe the Environmental Park Zoning District inclusive of the existing Auburn
Environmental Park. The Aubum City Council and City staff, through substantive policy-making,
current engagement with the Washington State University Institute of Sustainable Design, capital
Park investment, current economic deyelopmenY effort, a near future infortnational summit,
upcoming potential code changes and the development of a tiusiness plan and marketing strategy,
is working to transforrn the Zone into a unique location in the region for green business and
activkies. Specifically, the Green Zone is envisioned as a vibrant scene of diverse green
businesses supplying ecological solutions for energy conservation,. physical, infrastructure and
water quality with many of their ideas tested and practiced in the Zone itself and where new and
future environmental design methods can_ be implemented, new sustainable non-residential and
residential development practices can 6e implemented and new businesses or existing businesses
can participate in the local, regional and national "green economy".
Environmental Park District:
In 2006, the Aubum City Council establisHed a new ioning designation - Environmental Park
District - for 390 acres located west of the City's downtown (Exhibit 1). The Environmental Park
Page11
District (seen below outlined in gold in Figure 1) is bounded by 15th Street NW to the north, the
Interurban Trail and Union Pacific Railroad to the east, Highway 18 to the south and State Route
167 to the west in Auburn. Cross-hatching identifies potential redevelopment areas.

The District offers opportunities for "green" manufacturing and office development in close
proximity to the City owned 120-acres Auburn Environmental Park that can function as a"living
laboratary" for businesses in the District. Incorporation of sustainable design and green building
practices are the underlying bases for ail future development in the District.
Auburn Environmental Park:
The Auburn Environmental Park (AEP) is a unique urban open space in the middle of the City that
is intended to support businesses in the Environmental Park District and provide passive recreation
opportunities - refer to Exhibit 21. The Auburn Environmental Park is currently comprised of 120
acres bounded on the south by West Main Street, on the north by 15"' Street NW, on the west by

Enyironmenfal Park has been acquired by the City of Aubum over the last 18 years through
dedication, transfer and purchase. This land is largely dominated by environmentally sensitive.
areas such as wetlands. The City of Aubum completed purchase of the last 29 acres of the eastern
poRion of the Auburn Environmental Park - also known as Phase 1- in September 2010.
Acquisition opportunities for Phase 2 of the Aubum Environmental Park are currently being
evaluated by City staff.
A two-story birding tower was constructed in the AEP in 2009 to provide unparalleled viewing of the
diverse bird population that frequents the Park. Planned improvements in the AEP to be completed
in 2011 include the planting of native trees and shrubs along portions of State Route 167 to
improve habitat for birds and other wildlife and the construction of an approximately 1,200 lineal
foot eievated boardwalk in the wetland area extending from a gateway on West Main Street to the
ex'isting birding tower with interpretive signage, native plantings and visitor rest and viewing areas
(Ezhibit 32).
Economic Development - Green Zone:
The City's Economic Development Strategies (November 2005) identifies the AEP Green Zone as
an economic development strategy area (Exhibit 4).
Overthe last year, staff from the Mayor's Office and Planning.and Development Department have
worked, with several parties on the potential siting of new or expanded existing businesses in the
Green Zone. Several of these efforts are currently on-going.
At the City Council's October 2010 retreat, staff, in its briefing on efforts towards the Vision 2016
goal of developing the Green Zone, identified the following key issues to be worked on, all of which
relate to the area's future economic development:
• Identification of Green Zone in regional economic marketplace - area is still viewed as light
manufacturing/warehouse and distribution area;
• Public and private sector infrastructure update - Green Zone will need targeted updates in its
public infrastructure (i.e. streets, water, sewer, stormwater) and private infrastructure (i.e:
broadband, electric) to compete virith other similarlydesignated areas in region;
• Incorporation of alternative energy elements in Green Zone - e.g. wind turbines;
• Green zone is a historic manufacturing and residential area - need strategic approach to
facilitate transition of area away from these uses to green business;
• Short=tertn and long-tertn impacts of non-green businesses and uses within Green Zone;
• Types of incentives to be offered by Cfty - primariJy non-financial - and packaging and
presentation of these incentives to the marketplace; and,
• Mixture of uses within the Green Zone - potential incorporation of limited residential uses within
zone
2 Drawings in this exhibit are for illusUative puryosesonly.

These.issues will be addressed through the planned update to Chapter 18.33 (Environmental Park
District) of the Aubum Cfty Code and/or the future business plan and marketing strategy for the
Green Zone.
Washington State University Institute for Sustainable Design - Integrated Design
Experience:
In August 2010, the City of Aubum partnered with Washington State University's InstRute for Sustainable
Design (ISD) to develop detailed sustainable plans for sformwater managemerrt, land use, transportation .
and btailding design pradices for approbmately 600 acres encompassing portions of Dowrrtown Aubum
and residential, commercial and industrial areas west of Downtown (refer to Exhibit 5). This collaboratiVe
efFoR wasspearheaded by Councilmember Rich Wagner. Professor Michael Wolcott, ISD's Director, is
overseeing the eTforts of the Irrtegrated Design Experience (IDeX) studio that brings together students
from engineering and the allied design disaplines to develop sustainable solutions for the buiR.
environment. A key focus of the project is to develop an integrated stortnwater management solution
ihat meets the needs of the community while enhancing the environmentaf and economic value of the
study area (Exhibit 63). In December 2010, the students presented 26 project concepts addressing
6roacl-based sustainable design issues to City of Aubum staff and invited practicing architectural and
engineering professionals. Ciry staff and invded guests put students through a rigorous review to
criticallq evaluate their ideas and their applicability to the City. On April 29, 2011, WSU IDEX students
and professors will make their final preserrtations to City officials and staff.
Staff arrticipates incorporating or using some of the concepts, ideas and designs into future planning for
the Green Zone andJor upcoming potential changes in the Environmental Park District regulations.
Potential Updates to Chapter 18.33 (EnvironmeMal Park District):
Chapter 18.33 (Environmental Park District) [Exhibit 7] of the Aubum City Code contains current zoning
regulations and developmeM standards for the EnvironmeMal Park DisVid. Beginning with the Phase 1
Code Update Project in 2009, the Planning and Community Developmerrt Committee and staff haye
been discussing potential changes to this Chapter to create an incerrtive based set of regulations and
standards. The Committee and staff are currerrtly awaiting the outcome of the WSU IDEX partnership
effort and the. Green Zone Summit described below to help infortn potential policy changes for this
Chapter. The Committee and staff exped to pidc back up this topic in the falUwinter of 2011.
Green Zone Summit:
At the City Council's retreat in October2010, the City Council and staff discussed the idea of holding a
summit for the Green Zone. The discussed purpose of the summit would be to invite experts in d'iffererrt
fields of interest relative to the Green Zone to meet and discuss with the City to help guide the City's
efforts to transfortn this area. At the Planning and Community Developmerrt Committee's April 11, 2011
regular meeting, staff presented a drait conceptual agenda for this summit (Exhibit 8). The Committee
concurred with the draft conceptual agenda and directed staff to move forward with summit planning and
logistics.
' E#iibit 6 was prepared by Councitrriember Wagner and DireGOr Snyder and p2sen0ed at the Mayars Innovation ProjeU January 2011
coMerence in Washington D.C.
Page14
Staff anticipates that the results of fhe. Summit would be incorpora4ed into potential changes: to Chapter
18.33 (Erniironmerrtal Park Disfid) and a business plan and marketing sVategy for the Green Zone.
Greeq Zone.Business Plan and Marketing Strategy:
At the City Council's reVeat in October 2010, the City Council and staff discussed the.'developmeM by
the City of a business plan and marketing strategy for the Green Zone. The business plan can help
guide the City's short-term and long term capital investment planning, coordination and interactions with
property owners, businesses and po4errtial investors and policy development and implementation. The
marketing strategy would guide the City's eiforts to create local, regional, national and irrtertiational
marketplace awareness of the Green Zone through strategic mariceting strategies and actions:
It is curreiitly anticipated that the produdion of the business plam and marketing ;strategy would ocour
after the Counal's adoption of changes to Chapter 18.33 (Environmental Park Dishid).
Conclusion•
As evidenced from the preceding infortnation, there is signficarrt work in differerrt issue areas inr the
Green Zone currently being done or planned to be done. At the Committee of the Whole's May 4"'
meeting, staff can answer ques4ions about these work efforts as well as provide more detailed
irifortnation on ttiese efforts.

; Wetlands are comprised of three com-
ponents: hydrophilic (water-loving) vegetation; hy-
dric (wet) soils, and hydrology (water). A wetland

flourish and become fully functional. Once a wet-

~4~~° able if drained. The area comprising the Auburn
Environmental Park was no exception to this wide-
-1 held belief.
Prior to 1853, the area comprising the Auburn Environmental Park was mostly marshy, natural lands
inhabited by indigenous peoples. Settlers began arriving in the Auburn Valley around 1853, making land claims
under the Oregon Donation Land Act of 1850, and later the Homestead Act of 1862. The settlers would clear
any timber and use the land mainly for subsistence farming, animal feed, and dwellings. Flood protection at the
time consisted of 1858 legislation that allowed the settlers to construct levees along riverbanks and dig drainage
ditches to drain the wetlands. By 1894, the Valley floor was predominately used for agriculture, except for the
wettest areas.
Major road improvements and construction began occurring around 1870,with the roadbeds being placed
on natural levees for the best drainage (including Main Street,the southern boundary of the Auburn Environmental
Park). With the introduction of hops in the late 1880's and continuing expansion of overland transportation, the
Auburn Valley became an important agricultural service center. The Northern Pacific and the Great Northern
Railroads, which came through central Auburn in 1883 and 1893, respectively, along with the facilities that were
developed in the Valley for the storing, drying and processing of hops, resulted in the area becoming a leading
population center for the period.
Impacts to the Auburn Envirvnmental Park wetlands would have been very localized during this period.
Production demands for hops and other cash crops led to the increased amount of drained wetlands area that
accommodated fields for growing, thereby decreasing the overall area of wetland systems. Because roads during
this period were generally dirt and puncheons, or corduroy bridges, surface runoff flvw was not impacted and
wetland areas were not generally isolated.

throughout the Puget Sound region provided insatiable markets for the farm and dairy products of the Valley, in
'i turn sparking growth and expansion in Auburn to accommodate these markets. Wetlands were drained or filled,
~streams were channelized, and rivers were dammed to protect the crops and fields from flooding. Cash crops
remained the Valley's primary industry until around World War II when heightened aerospace and other defense
industry developments occurred and Japanese farmers were sent to internment camps and their lands taken.
- _ ` In the early 1900s motor vehicles were introduced into
f _ the Valley and competed with trains for passenger and freight
transportation. Since area industries required transportation
improvements and expansions, the Chicago, Milwaukee
f- & St. Paul line was completed through Auburn (eastem

1951 - Present
Once the Auburn Valley entered the last half of the 20th Century, the area seemed to grow in leaps and
bounds. TheValleychanged from an area predominantly used for agriculture in the 1950s and 1960s to an area that
became predominantly developed with the array of industrial and retail/commercial buildings now seen today.
Although many factors played into the change, three are more prevalent: Howard A. Hanson Dam construction;
improved transportation infrastructure construction and freight rates; and the purchase, aggregation, and
development of land in the Valley for industrial and large-scale commercial purposes.
Industries near Seattle desperately needed to expand to meet market demands, but were limited due to
available land. South was the only available direction to go, but the area suffered from inadequate flood control
and drainage. The remedy proposed: Howard A. Hanson Dam. The dam was completed in 1962, providing the
Valley its much-needed flood control. But drainage still remained an issue, so in 1966 Congress approved the
Federal Soil Conservation Service's plan to construct SS miles of drainage channels designed to collect and
carry run-off. With the water at bay, the Green River Valley saw the rapid disappearance of truck farming and the
emergence of industrial plants, shopping centers, residential development, and vacant land.
Although Auburn was serviced by four _
transcontinental railways (Northern Pacific; Chicago,
Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific; Great Northern; and
Union Pacific), there was still a need for an improved _
transportation network for the area's industries and growing population. In 1953,State Route 167 (current
western boundary of the Auburn Environmental ~_.-07; -
Park) was designed and construction approved. State
Route 167 was completed through Aubum in 1972 u.~~-='
and supported by State Route 18, completed around
1960, that ran east to west. The northem boundary of
the Auburn Environmental Park, l Sth St. NW, wa5 not • $
completed until around 1975.The newfreeway,aswell '
as decreased freight rates and the Washington State Free Port Tax Law (1969), encouraged the location
and development of distribution warehouses in the
Val ley.
With the construction oftheHowardA.Hanson Dam and StateRoute 167camethecorporations purchasing
agricultural lands for future industrial development. Because the land could now be used for other purposes,the
land values increased, and thus the a5sociated taxes, pressuring the small farmers into selling their land. Between
1960 and 1980 over 9,000 acres of the Valley's prime agricultural land was converted to other uses or vacant
land, or was filled or covered with impervious surfaces. But not all of the land was developed right away and by
1971 over one-third of Valley land was vacant or unused. Eventually, the area became known as an "industrial
breadbasket to the world" having evolved into a way station for American goods to be distributed throughout
the Northwest, for domestic goods waiting for export, and for goods imported from Pacific Rim nations.
Residential land use also increased during this period as the Valley underwent a population explosion.
While the Valley floor was being converted to industrial uses, the East and West Hills of Auburn were residentially
developed. Mill Creek, which lies between the West Hill and the Valley floor, supplies water to the Auburn
Environmental Park. Because storm water run-off increases with impervious surface areas, impacts to the flow
and drainage of nearby streams were inevitable, and Mill Creek was no exception. Culverts placed under State
3
Route 167 to aid Mill Creek's flow eventually became clogged, overflowing the stream banks and flooding lower
lying areas to either side of the freeway. This process is what caused the Auburn Environmental Park area to begin
its transformation from unused land to emergent wetland.
It was also during this period, towards the latter part of the 1960s, when federal and state governments
began showing concern for the environmental impacts of development. The newly implemented laws attempted
, to eliminate or limit discharges of pollutants or dredged orfill material into the nation's waters,particularly"special
aquatic sites"such as wetlands, by requiring permits from the Army Corps of Engineers for such activities. One law
- from this period,the Clean Water Act, which has undergone several amendments and revisions since its inception,
~ is still enforced today.
~i
; The Auburn Environmental Park probably suffered the greatest amount of damage during this period.
Construction of State Route 167 not only divided the wetland system further, but also caused a portion of it to
be filled. Continued development, especially industrial development, also impacted the large system as the land
was filled so that building foundations could be laid. Pollutants, although samewhat regulated, were discharged
~ into Mill Creek and other surrounding tributaries that eventually found their way into the wetland system. These
activities continued to exacerbate the wetland's diminishing size, functions, and values.
The Future
In 1972 Congress enacted the Clean Water Act. Although the Act has been amended and revised several
~ times since then, it still remains the primary regulatory document controlling the activities in the nation's waters.
The Clean Water Act, regulated by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of Ecology, requires that any
developer impacting more than Ys acre of wetland must mitigate the impact. In complying with the federal and
~ state laws, the City of Auburn has implemented their own wetland mitigation requirements for developers. The
City requires that for every acre of wetland impacted at least 2 acres must be enhanced or created. Auburn wetland
mitigation enhancements and creations require that all three wetland components are present, and usually
` require a 3- to S-year monitoring period to insure the wetland changes are successful. Auburn has experienced
high success rates for wetland mitigation, partially due to the already existing "wetland"conditions covering most
I of the Valley floor.
The middle portion of the Auburn Environmental Park, called theThormod Wetland,was a wetland created
~ under this mitigation requirement. In the mid-1990s, Auburn was chosen as the site for a new horse-racing track,
Emerald Downs. Because the new track would impact numerous acres of already existing wetland, the developer
was required to mitigate the impacts by creating/enhancing a new wetland area. As part of the mitigation, the
- developer was also required to grant a conservation easement of the area to the City of Auburn. It was through
= I this easement and other later purchases that the entire area for the Auburn Environmental Park came into City
possession.
Around the turn of the 21 st Century the State of Washington began looking at the bigger picture:Through
the continuing growth and development of the state near and around its waterways, there has been a marked
' dedine in salmon populations and habitat, so much so that certain salmon species are now listed as being
threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. As a result, a consortium of Valley cities, as well as King
County, developed a salmon habitat restoration plan for all waters within the Water Resource Inventory Area 9
(WRIA 9). This ongoing project proposes to restore salmon habitat within the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget
Sound watershed,which includes Mill Creek and the area contained within the Auburn Environmental Park. Most
of the Environmental Park area acquired by the City of Auburn has sat unused and vacant for over 30 years, all the
while healing and growing hydrophilic vegetation. The City's goal is that the Environmental Park lands will be
~ nurtured until its health returns and once again provides habitable waters.
