Motion by Councilmember Larson, second by Councilmember ICurle to approve Consent Agenda Items IV.A. through IV.G.1. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0. V. OLD BUSINESS - None. A. Ao�lication No. 56A-89 An amendment to the Auburn Zoning Code which addresses the recreational vehides being used as living units in the RMHP (Residential Manufacrored Home Park District). Mayor Roegner announced that copies of the May l, 1989 regular Council meeting tapes are currently available. The Councilmembers who were not in attendance at the May 1, 1989 were provided with a tape recording of the regular Council meeting to assist them in their deliberations. Prior to Council deliberations Mayor Roegner requested a brief update Prom Public Works Director Frank Currie. Frank Currie commented on the issues raised during the public hearing process which centered around whether or not R.V.'s are constructed for permanent living units. Discussion centered around standards for construction of stick built homes, mobile homes, and recreation vehicles. State of Washington determines the certification requirements for mobile homes and recreation vehides. Mc Currie stated R.V.'s are not certified The by the State of Washington as living units, but are considered temporary m namre, and certified for seasonal use. Mr. Currie noted recreational vehicles are not required to have a bathroom, kitchen, and insulation. Senior Planner Lynn Rued directed the Council's attention to an aerial photo dated February 17, 1959 illustrating Skylark Mobile home park with twenty- five mobile homes on the original site. Briefty, Lynn Rued explained that in 1958 Skylark Mobile Home Park was annexed into the City of Auburn, and further explained the arrangement of mobile homes at that time taking into consideration the concern ot' grandfathering status. In regards to grandfathering or existing recreational vehicles being allowed in the mobile home park, they are a non-conforming use, and have been for at least fifteen years. They do not conform to the standards of the City's zoning ordinance. Non-conforming uses are not meant to be perpetual uses. In looking at the photo there appears to be about five mobile homes that exceed the length of fifty feet, approximatety seven between forry and fifty feet, PAGE 4 \� � ' r � CITY OF AUBURN COUNCIL MEETING May l5, 1989 ten between thirty and forty feet, and three (ess than thirty feet. Lynn Rued concluded that Skylark Mobile Home Park apparently started out as mobile home park rather than a recreational vehicle park. Lynn Rued pointed out that when recreational vehicles have to leave the park, they will be repiaced by manufactured homes which can be a minimum size of 400 square feet and meet HUD's, the State's & City's standards for mobile homes. Directing his comments around development ' standards required by the City, Lynn Rued discussed current sizes of mobile homes, and minimum reqairements for placement of mobile homes within the park. in concluding his comments, Mr. Rued reiterated that with adoption of Ordinance No. 4350 current residents residing in recreational vehicles do not have ro leave. There are amortization regulations included in the ordinance. The Council centered their discussion around enforcement of the proposed ordinance and its regulations, liability exposures the City could face, whether or not recreational vehicles are safe to live in, and meeting consistency with the zoning code. Marguerite Schellentrager responded to concerns raised by the Council. Ms. Schellentrager emphasized that the main problem in allowing recreational vehicles to stay in Skylark Mobile Home Park is that it is inconsistent with the zoning code. Ms. Schellentrager pointed outif the City did not adopt Ordinance No. 4350, the City would enforce the current codes and recreational vehicle residents could be subject to eviction from Skylark Mobile Home Park. By adopting Ordinance No. 4350, Ms. Schellentrager stated, the City is allowing for a gradual phase out of the non-conforming use, and current recreational vehicle residents can remain at the park for as long as they like. This amortization is a reasonable solution to the non- conforming use. , Councilmember Burns summarized the proceeding with regard to the public hearings that have been held on this issue, and recommended the City not continue to allow Skylark Mobile Home Park continued benefit from an illegal use. Motion by Councilmember Burns, second by Councilmember Walters to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow existing recreation vehicles within mobile home parks and to adopt the ordinance as prepared by the City Attorney. MOTION CARRIED. 6-1 with Councilmember Kurle voting no. Ordinance No. 4350 An Ordinance of the City of Auburn, Washington, amending certain sections of the Auburn City Zoning Ordinance No. 4229, codified as Title 18 and providing an amortization of recreational vehicles as a non-conforming use in mobile home parks.
