III. RESOLUTIONS
A. Resolution No. 4762 (Heineman)
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
declaring certain City property as surplus, and authorizing the Mayor and
City Clerk to execute agreements between the City of Auburn and the State
of Washington for an exchange of property and for joint use and
maintenance of property
Referring to the Agreement to Exchange Real Property between the State of
Washington, Green River Community College, and the City of Auburn, Member
Wagner questioned the use of the term "equivalent co-owners" (the State and the
City) of the newly created and relocated Lea Hill Park. Risk Manager Rob Roscoe
explained that the State required that the State be designated as a co-owner of
the park as a condition of the State grant funds that will be used to improve the
park. The City and the State will be reflected on the title of the park property.
Risk Manager Roscoe stated that the terms of the operation of the park
are outlined in the joint use agreement. Member Wagner noted that the joint use
agreement refers to ball fields use. Member Wagner questioned whether the
State would have any rights for the remainder of the park. Risk Manager Roscoe
stated that Green River Community College would be able to schedule use of the
remainder of the park through the Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department
as is the case with other City-owned recreation facilities. It is anticipated that the
College will have little use for the park.
Member Wagner questioned whether the joint use agreement should be more
specific about the rights of the parties.
Chair Backus stated that Parks, Arts and Recreation Director Faber indicated that
there would be little input from the State as to the use of the park. Mayor Lewis
added that the City and the State had a similar relationship with Game Farm Park
for several years.
Vice Chair Norman moved and Member Wagner seconded to approve and
forward Resolution No. 4762 to the full Council for approval.

CA.A
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 3-0.
B. Resolution No. 4768 (Heid)
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
supporting Initiative 1183 concerning liquor: beer, wine, and spirits (hard
liquor)Initiative Measure No. 1183 concerns liquor: beer, wine, and spirits
(hard liquor).This measure would close state liquor stores and sell their
assets; license private parties to sell and distribute spirits; set license fees
based on sales; regulate licensees; and change regulation of wine
distribution.Interested persons will be afforded an opportunity to express
opposing views.
Mayor Lewis stated that the proposed Resolution was brought forward to the
Council in light of recent events, including the Governor's indication that the State
would no longer share the sales and liquor excise taxes with local governments.
Initiative 1183 would require that the amount of funds the cities currently receive
from sales and liquor excise tax would continue. If 1183 fails, the City stands to
lose approximately $900,000 annually in tax revenue.
Vice Chair Norman moved and Member Wagner seconded to approve and
forward Resolution No. 4768 to the full Council.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 3-0.
IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Ordinance No. 6378 (Coleman)
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
amending Ordinance No. 6339, the 2011-2012 Biennial Budget Ordinance
as amended by Ordinance No. 6351, Ordinance No. 6352, Ordinance No.
6362 and Ordinance No. 6370 authorizing amendment to the City of Auburn
2011-2012 Budget as set forth in Schedule "A"
Finance Director Coleman explained that Ordinance No. 6378 makes the final
changes to the 2011 Budget. The amendment recognizes revenue and grant
funding received and public employee pension contribution rate adjustments.
Vice Chair Norman questioned whether reverting to utility billing every other
month rather than monthly would realize cost savings. Finance Director Coleman
estimated that the monthly billing process adds $50,000 over the cost of billing
every two months.
Member Wagner stated that he championed the change to monthly billing
believing that the City would have fewer late paying customers. However, the
change in the billing process has not changed the bill-paying practices of
customers.
Committee members agreed to discuss the proposal to revert utility billing to every
two months at a future meeting.

B. Ordinance No. 6380
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
authorizing the levy of regular property taxes by the City of Auburn for
collection in 2012
Finance Director Coleman stated that Ordinance No. 6380 sets the property tax
levy for 2012. The levy includes a one percent increase over the 2011 levy and
property taxes on new construction. The levy is based on a recent assessed
valuation of $7.1 billion.
The Ordinance will be discussed further at the budget work session on November
17, 2011.
C. Resolution No. 4767 (Coleman)
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
authorizing the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute an Agreement for
Services between the City of Auburn and the Auburn Area Chamber of
Commerce to operate a visitor information center, promote tourism
awareness within the City and to provide services associated with
supporting the City's economic development efforts
Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce President and Chief Operating Officer Nancy
Wyatt and the Chamber's Tourism Coordinator Debbie Luce were present to
answer any questions with regard to the Chamber's status report and
accomplishments in 2011 related to the visitor information center, economic
development, and tourism. The agreement for services is unchanged for 2012.
D. Resolution No. 4682 (Dowdy)
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
Authorizing the Mayor to Execute an Interagency Agreement with King
County for the Purpose of Constructing a Relocated King County Sanitary
Sewer Line for the M Street Underpass Project (C201A)
Public Works Director Dowdy stated that Resolution No. 4862 authorizes an
agreement with King County for the relocation of the Metro sanitary sewer main
for the M Street SE Underpass project.
The relocation of the line is included in the design of the project construction. The
agreement will obligate the City to construct the relocated sewer main and King
County to pay for its relocation. The agreement is beneficial to the City as it will
eliminate a separate contractor for the relocation work.
E. Resolution No. 4763 (Hursh)
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington, relating
to the amendment of the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Annual Action Plan updates
of the Consolidated Plan
Community Services Manager Hursh stated the proposed amendment to the
2009, 2010 and 2011 Action Plans will re-allocate approximately $60,000 of
unused Community Development Block Grant funds. Planned projects include

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
adopting the 2012 Community Development Block Grant Action Plan for the
Consolidated Plan for years 2010 to 2014
Community Services Manager Hursh stated the preparation of an annual action
plan is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) in order for the City to receive federal funds under the CDBG program. The
City’s 2012 CDBG allocation is anticipated to be approximately $400,000.
G. Resolution No. 4765 (Snyder)
Memorandum of Agreement and Option Agreement with Ceradimm LLC
Resolution No. 4765 would replace and supersede the Master Development
Agreement approved by Resolution No. 4663. Recently, Alpert International LLLP
combined its operations with Ceradimm, LLC so the execution of the
Memorandum of Agreement and/or option to Purchase Real Property would occur
with Ceradimm, LLC, of which Spencer Alpert is a member.
Planning and Development Director Snyder stated that staff continue to work on
additional language relating to right of first refusal, which will be included in the
final form presented to the full Council at a future date.
H. Resolution No. 4766 (Snyder)
Exclusive Agency Listing Agreement with Jones Lang LaSalle Americas,
Inc.

marketing and negotiating for lease or sale of City-owned properties for
commercial and/or residential land uses. The Resolution will be presented to the
full Council for approval at a future date.

declaring an emergency with respect to repair of the roof of the Mountain
View Cemetery building structure at 2020 Mountain View Drive, Auburn,

immediate repairs are needed to prevent further damage to the structure.
Previous attempts to repair the roof have not been successful. The cost of the

Ordinance No. 6380
Budget Impact:
$14,874,840
Administrative Recommendation:
City Council introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 6380.
Background Summary:
Property taxes must be established each year based upon information provided by the
King County and Pierce County Department of Assessments. Property taxes can be
increased by up to 1.0% under State law, not including property taxes on new
construction.
Ordinance No. 6380 establishes the 2012 property tax levy at $14,874,840. This levy is
based on the 2011 property tax levy of $14,595,036 and includes a 1.0% increase
($145,590) and property taxes on new construction ($133,854).
Consistent with current City policy, $2.0 million of the total 2012 Property Tax Levy will
be distributed to the Local Street Fund in support of the Save Our Streets program. The
remaining $12,874,840, less 2% for uncollected, will be distributed to the General Fund
to support general governmental operations.
For further information, refer to the attached transmittal memorandum.

TO: CITY OF AUBURN COUNCIL MEMBERS, FINANCE COMMITTEE , AND
COMMUNITY & PLANNING DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
FROM: AUBURN AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
SUBJECT: SERVICES AGREEMENT UPDATE /CONTRACT RENEWAL – VISITOR
INFORMATION CENTER, E CONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & TOURISM
DATE: 11/2/11
CC: AUBURN AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dear City Council Members,
Thank you for this opportunity to present you with an end-of-the-year report identifying
some of the highlights of the services the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased
to have provided the City pursuant to our contract for services.
As you know, these services assist the City by supplementing its efforts with regard to
Visitor/Tourism Information, the City's Economic Development Goals and Outreach to
Current and Future Business Community Members in ways that leverage the credibility,
experience and resources of the Chamber.
While there is some overlap, I have organized this summary to encompass the general
scope of services in the referenced contract, as follows:
SERVE AS AUBURN’S VISITOR INFORMATION CENTER:
Handle inquiries made by visitors, new residents and employees via phone, email,
mail, walk-in and respond with the appropriate information and materials; Operate
the City's storefront Visitor Information Center where visitors obtain materials and
advice during normal business hours. The center will provide sufficient space,
display racks, appropriate materials and receptionist.
Consistent with the terms of the contract for services, the Chamber maintains and
operates Auburn's Visitor Information Center where people know to seek out the
Chamber as the first point of contact, whether a visitor or new resident, to obtain a wide
variety of materials and advice.
The Chamber-operated Visitor Information Center dominates the entire front portion of
the Chamber’s Lobby, with easy visibility & access from the street. It includes large
display racks stocked with varied and valuable visitor-related materials.
RES.A
2 | Page
The Visitor Information Center signage on the storefront is a large banner across the first
three windows to loudly state “Visitor Information Center”; and with a larger window
sign that boldly lists Auburn Tourism as one of the main components in our office and
offers the universal “I” symbol denoting an information center is located here.
With each walk-in, visitors and prospective businesses are able to take multiple pieces of
information that the Chamber provides. It is often their first point of contact in our
community. When we mail out relocation and/or vacation packets, a variety of
information is sent, including information about the City of Auburn, parks & recreation,
public art, the golf course, trails, etc., as well as Auburn businesses and visitor services.
The valuable contribution the Chamber is uniquely able to provide in its contract with the
City, is our ability to staff the Visitor Information Center with employees having
extensive personal knowledge of the greater Auburn area, and a genuine desire to
promote the City of Auburn.
With the construction for the Division Street Promenade, we have seen a marked
decrease in the amount of walk-ins, but we are pleased to know that those individuals and
businesses that want to find us, have been able to. We are excitedly anticipating the
opening of this new “jewel” for our community, which will create a more appealing
entrance to our office.
Produce and distribute the City business directory, community profile, street maps,
and lists containing information about community resources and/or business
services. Respond to requests from publishers seeking information about Auburn
for their magazines, web pages and/or directories. Provide City hotels with
brochures promoting local attractions, businesses and shops.
The Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce produces a Community Directory each year in
January and prints 5,000. All but 240 of the 2011 directories have been distributed. We
will have the 2012 directories delivered to us in mid-January. We currently distribute
these Community Directories to:
City Hall
Member advertisers for use with prospective and current customers and firms
Auburn Library
Muckleshoot Library
Senior Center
Parks & Rec Building
Auburn Airport
Local Hotels
Small Business Assistance Center
Green River Community College
The SuperMall
All event visitors that deal directly with our Tourism Marketing Coordinator

New teachers (in conjunction with the New Teacher Breakfast hosted by the
Chamber and the Auburn School District’s recruitment efforts); and
We mail out the Community Directory in the Chamber's
"Relocation/Tourism/Inquiry Packets"
The Chamber’s Community Directory continues to receive a very strong response from
the Auburn Business Community. We believe the desire of local businesses to advertise
in the Community Directory is an affirmation of the effectiveness of the Chamber's
Community Directory in presenting the strengths and assets of the Auburn area, and local
businesses, to both current and prospective visitors. They see it as a primary resource for
direct contact with their customers and clients.
The Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce also produces a Local Area Map every two to
three years. 10,000 of each edition are printed. Our map came out in June 2011 and of
those 10,000 we have been able to distribute approximately 4,000 thus far.
We currently distribute these Local Area Maps to:
City Hall
Member advertisers
Auburn Library
Muckleshoot Library

PROVIDE A SERVICE TO PROMOTE TOURISM AWARENESS FOR THE CITY OF AUBURN.
Coordinate all public relations, marketing, media relations, advertising, and event
planning for the Auburn Tourism Board. Liaise on marketing and communications
matters and coordinate with the individual Board members, who comprise
representatives from the City Council, the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce, all
the major attractions, the lodging sector and other tourism-related businesses.
Follow up on activities to involve existing and new strategic partners.
Several Chamber Board Members and the President & COO participate on the Auburn
Tourism Board, working to bring tourists to our area. This effort both builds the growing
strength of our local tourism economy and generates additional sales tax revenues to
support city services including both capital and operational expenses.
As part of our 5-year Strategic Plan, the Chamber's leadership is committed to pursuing a
community-wide, partnership effort to market on a consistent basis a branded welcome
message to tourists in connection with all the major events that put heads in beds, dollars
in retail establishments and seats in restaurants.
Our Tourism Marketing Coordinator, Debbie Luce, has provided a comprehensive report
to the City Council Members on the progress of the Tourism Board and the great strides
made with that Board. This report highlights the 2nd year of our highly successful
Autumn Wedding Show. (See separate report from Debbie Luce.)

City Council introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 6391.
Background Summary:
Auburn City Code (ACC) 13.41 imposes a utility systems development charge (SDC) for the purpose of
recovering a fair share of the costs of providing existing utility system infrastructure to serve new or
redeveloped sites. The current SDC is calculated by the amount of new impervious surface constructed on
a site without consideration to the stormwater management method used. The proposed revision to ACC
13.41 provides a reduction in the SDC if Low Impact Development (LID) techniques are used. The
reduction is appropriate because the use of LID techniques more closely replicates predevelopment flows,
thereby reducing the hydraulic load on utility system infrastructure, system maintenance and capital
improvement needs.

B. "Impervious surface," for the purposeofcalculating a system development charge and
onlyas it pertains to this chapter, means a hard surface area that prevents the entry of water into
the soil mantle. Common impervioussurfaces include, but are not limited to, roof tops, walkways,
patios, concrete or asphalt paving. Open, uncovered, retention/detention facilities shall not be
considered as impervious surfaces for the purpose of SDC feecalculation.
C. "Utility systemsdevelopment charge" is a charge imposed on new customers, or existing
customers revising use of their property, in recognitionof the previous investment of the city and
its customers in the utility systems. (Ord. 6341 § 1, 2011; Ord. 6283 §2, 2009; Ord. 5801 § 1,

integrated with engineered, small-scale hydrologic controls to more closely mimic
predevelopment hydrologic functions. Common LID designs include, but are not limited to,
bioretention areas, vegetatedrooftops, porous asphaltpavement and porous concrete as
designed in accordance withthe City of Auburn Surface Water Management Manual and 2005

Team ormost recent update.
13.41.020 Purpose.
The city council has determined that it is reasonable and in the public interest to enact and
impose a utility systemsdevelopment charge forthe purpose of recovering a fair share of the
costsof providing existing utility system infrastructure to serve new customers or reviseduses of
existing customers. The intent is to reimburse the city's utility for the cost of construction of
availablecapacity sanitary sewer, water and storm drainage facilities from those properties, which
as part of their development and use create direct or indirect needs for thosefacilities. The city
councilfindsthat the public wouldbenefitfrom a logical long-range approach to the financingof
necessarygeneral facilities. Experience has demonstrated that the lack of such provision casts
an unfair and unexpected burden on taxpayers and residences in the form of utility rates, taxes,
bond interest costs and assessments when core, general or central facilities becomeinadequate,
causing a crisis. Operating from crisis to crisis is wasteful, unsafe and not an acceptable method
of operating local government; and debt financing should be minimized wherever possible. (Ord.
6341 § 1, 2011; Ord. 5801 § 1, 2003; Ord. 4830 § 1, 1996; Ord. 4479 § 2, 1990; Ord. 3510 § 1,
1980.)
13.41.030 Utility systems development charge imposed—Rates—Review.
A. A sanitary sewer and water utility systems development charge is imposed upon all
lands inside the boundary of the city, and all lands outside theboundary of the city which utilize
eithersanitary sewerfacilities or waterfacilities or both of the city, and a storm drainage utility
systemsdevelopment charge is imposed upon all lands in the city, except those lands exempted
under this chapter, which fees and charges shall be as setforth on the city of Auburn fee
schedule.
B. The utility systemsdevelopment charge as set forth in the city fee schedule will be
computed to consider the future and/or current valueof the utilitysystem's fixed assets, excluding
contributions by developers, and outstanding bonded indebtedness, and will also consider an
appropriate service unit.
C. Theutility systemsdevelopment charge imposed shall be reviewed annually by the city
council and the charges may be revised to reflectchanges in utility asset value, depreciation of
the utility system fixed assets, bonded indebtedness, and the number of ERU, RCE or ESU
customers served. (Ord. 6341 § 1, 2011; Ord. 5819 §4, 2004; Ord. 5801 § 1, 2003; Ord. 5709

13.41.010 Definitions.
As used in this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires:
A. “Capacity facilities” includes but is not limited to:
1. Water system infrastructure including: water sources, treatment facilities, interties, pump
stations, pressure reducing stations, standby generators, reservoirs, distribution, and
transmission mains and appurtenances needed for distribution, fire protection and
pressure.
2. Sanitary sewer system infrastructure including: lift stations, standby generators, force
mains, conveyance lines and appurtenances needed to collect and transport sewage for
treatment and disposal or to eliminate a storm and sanitary sewer cross connection.
3. Storm drainage system infrastructure including: pump stations, standby generators,
storage facilities, water quality facilities, stream, creek or river improvements and
conveyance lines needed to collect, transport and dispose of storm drainage, eliminate
storm and sanitary sewer cross connections, eliminate storm and surface water flooding
and water quality problems, and treatment and disposal facilities.
B. “Impervious surface,” for the purpose of calculating a system development charge and only as
it pertains to this chapter, means a hard surface area that prevents the entry of water into the soil
mantle. Common impervious surfaces include, but are not limited to, roof tops, walkways, patios,
concrete or asphalt paving. Open, uncovered, retention/detention facilities shall not be considered
as impervious surfaces for the purpose of SDC fee calculation.
C. “Utility systems development charge” is a charge imposed on new customers, or existing
customers revising use of their property, in recognition of the previous investment of the city and
DI.A
its customers in the utility systems. (Ord. 6341 § 1, 2011; Ord. 6283 § 2, 2009; Ord. 5801 § 1,
2003; Ord. 4830 § 1, 1996; Ord. 4479 § 2, 1990; Ord. 3510 § 2, 1980.)
D. “Parcel, non-single-family” means any parcel of developed land other than single-family or two-
family (duplex) residential
E. “Low impact development (LID)” means a storm water management and land development
strategy applied at the parcel and subdivision scale that emphasizes conservation and use of on-
site natural features integrated with engineered, small-scale hydrologic controls to more closely
mimic predevelopment hydrologic functions. Common LID designs include, but are not limit to,
bioretention areas, vegetated rooftops, porous asphalt pavement and porous concrete as
designed in accordance with the City of Auburn Surface Water Management Manual and 2005
Low Impact Technical Guidance Manual for Puget Sound published by the Puget Sound Action
Team or most recent update.
13.41.020 Purpose.
The city council has determined that it is reasonable and in the public interest to enact and
impose a utility systems development charge for the purpose of recovering a fair share of the
costs of providing existing utility system infrastructure to serve new customers or revised uses of
existing customers. The intent is to reimburse the city’s utility for the cost of construction of
available capacity sanitary sewer, water and storm drainage facilities from those properties, which
as part of their development and use create direct or indirect needs for those facilities. The city
council finds that the public would benefit from a logical long-range approach to the financing of
necessary general facilities. Experience has demonstrated that the lack of such provision casts
an unfair and unexpected burden on taxpayers and residences in the form of utility rates, taxes,
bond interest costs and assessments when core, general or central facilities become inadequate,
causing a crisis. Operating from crisis to crisis is wasteful, unsafe and not an acceptable method
of operating local government; and debt financing should be minimized wherever possible. (Ord.
6341 § 1, 2011; Ord. 5801 § 1, 2003; Ord. 4830 § 1, 1996; Ord. 4479 § 2, 1990; Ord. 3510 § 1,
1980.)
13.41.030 Utility systems development charge imposed – Rates – Review.
A. A sanitary sewer and water utility systems development charge is imposed upon all lands
inside the boundary of the city, and all lands outside the boundary of the city which utilize either
sanitary sewer facilities or water facilities or both of the city, and a storm drainage utility systems
development charge is imposed upon all lands in the city, except those lands exempted under
this chapter, which fees and charges shall be as set forth on the city of Auburn fee schedule.
B. The utility systems development charge as set forth in the city fee schedule will be computed
to consider the future and/or current value of the utility system’s fixed assets, excluding
DI.A
contributions by developers, and outstanding bonded indebtedness, and will also consider an
appropriate service unit.
C. The utility systems development charge imposed shall be reviewed annually by the city council
and the charges may be revised to reflect changes in utility asset value, depreciation of the utility
system fixed assets, bonded indebtedness, and the number of ERU, RCE or ESU customers
served. (Ord. 6341 § 1, 2011; Ord. 5819 § 4, 2004; Ord. 5801 § 1, 2003; Ord. 5709 § 1, 2002;

Background Summary:
Since the annexation of the Lea Hill area in January 2008, the City has been discussing
a master plan concept that would be applicable to institutional uses such as a
community college and potentially larger scale commercial uses. This conversation has
continued with the Planning and Community Development Committee (PCDC) further
refining the concept of a master plan process. Initial policy direction was provided by the
PCDC to staff.
Staff worked with the Planning Commission on the draft code amendment with the
Planning Commission providing feedback on the amendment at their August 2, 2011
meeting and holding the public hearing on September 7, 2011. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the proposed code amendment with the
following changes:
Section 18.XX.030 add "and mitigation" to the end of subsection B.2.
Section 18.XX.030 add "including any approved extension" under subsection D
Section 18.XX.070 add "conceptual" before approval
Request that staff revise Incentive #2 under Table 18.XX.070.1 to make sure the
proposed incentive is measurable
The Planning and Community Development Committee reviewed and discussed the
Planning Commission recommendation at their September 26, 2011 meeting and
recommended approval of Ordinance No. 6385 at their November 14, 2011 meeting.

A. This Chapterestablishes standards and criteria for the developmentof
a Master Plan. Theprovisions of thisChapter are voluntary and incentive-based.
B. Themaster plan is intended to establish conditions with which all
concurrent and subsequent land use approvalsimplementing the master plan
shall comply. The master plan processprovides long term guidance for a large
area so that the continuity of theoverall development is maintained. Theprocess
allows for development to occur in phases wherecoordination of public facilities
is needed, when a master plan is needed to determine howbest to develop the
area, or when a master plan is needed to integrate various uses.
C. Use of a Master Plan is intended torecognizethevaluable role played

Master plans are not a required process for large-scale developments.
However, master plansprovidethe vehicle for large-scale, multi-phased
developments to obtain conceptual approval of several projects at one time
coordinating future provisions of infrastructure, gather early public input, and
providethe applicant with a certain level of certainty for a multi-phased project.
The followingtable outlinesincentives for establishing a master planand can be

Administrative Recommendation: Planning Commission to hold a public hearing on the proposed
Master Plan Code Amendment and make a recommendation to City Council.
Background Summary:
Since the annexation of the Lea Hill area in January 2008, the City has been discussing a master plan
concept that would be applicable to institutional uses such as a community college and potentially larger
scale commercial uses. This conversation has continued with the Planning and Community Development
Committee (PCDC) further refining the concept of a master plan process. Initial policy direction was
provided by the PCDC to staff.
A draft code amendment creating a master plan process was brought before the Planning Commission
for discussion at the August 2, 2011 meeting. The amendment outlines the master plan process,
applicability, length of the master plan approval, decision criteria, and an incentive based approach.
The September 7, 2011 Planning Commission meeting will involve a public hearing on the proposed code
amendments for the creation of a new zoning code chapter related a master plans. The Planning
Commission is advisory to the City Council and will make a recommendation to the City Council on the
proposed code amendment.

A. Text Amendments. With the exception of purely administrative or procedural
amendments, the planning commission shall conduct at least one public hearing on all
amendments to this title. The planning commission shall make a recommendation to the
city council who may or may not conduct a public hearing.
18.68.040 Public hearing notice requirements
A. Text Amendments.
1. Planning Commission. For text amendments that require a public hearing under ACC
18.68.030(A), notice of a public hearing shall be given by publication, in a newspaper of
general circulation in the area, at least 10 days prior to the public hearing and by posting
the notice in three general public locations.
2. City Council. Notice of a public hearing shall be given by publication, in a newspaper
of general circulation in the area, prior to the public hearing and by posting the notice in
three general public locations.
Comment:
The public hearing before the Planning Commission is scheduled for September 7, 2011
meeting the requirement under ACC 18.68.030. The public hearing notice was
published in the Seattle Times, the City’s official newspaper, on August 25, 2011 at least
10 days prior to the public hearing. The public hearing notice was also posted at City
Hall (25 West Main Street), the Customer Service Center (One East Main Street), and
on the City’s website meeting the requirement for posting the notice in three general
public locations.
2. Auburn City Code Chapter 18.68, Amendments, does not have specific decision criteria
for text amendments to the zoning title. At a minimum, proposed text amendments are
to be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan pursuant to RCW 36.70A.040. The
proposed code amendment is supported by the following Comprehensive Plan
Objectives and Policies:
Objective 1.2 – To establish a procedure to assess the growth impacts of major
development proposals.
Comment:
The proposed master plan code amendment implements this objective by creating a
process that looks at large scale institutional and commercial developments holistically
to assess the growth impacts of these types of developments. The intent of the master
plan code is to provide long term guidance for a large scale development, provides the
opportunity to evaluate the impacts of all phases of the a large scale development at one
time while allowing an applicant to obtain approval for multi-phases at one time, and
provides the opportunity for early public involvement.
A master plan process allows the City to evaluate the growth impacts related to traffic,
utilities, and other services for a large scale development early in the process and
assists in future capital facility planning as well.
Policy GP-17: Flexible land development techniques including, but not limited to,
clustering and planned unit developments for the development of residential,
DI.B
Agenda Subject: Proposed amendments to Auburn City Code related
to Master Plans (ZOA11-0005)
Date: August 30, 2011
Page 4 of 5
commercial, and industrial properties shall be considered to implement this
comprehensive plan.
Comment:
The proposed master plan process is a flexible development technique by allowing an
applicant to gain approvals of a multi-phased project at one time rather than approvals at
each phase. By developing a master plan for a large scale /multi-phased development,
the City is able to analyze the impacts upfront to transportation and utility infrastructure
while the applicant obtains certainty for their proposal. The proposed code amendment
establishes a master plan approval timeframe of ten years with potential for a five year
extension. This timeframe vests a development proposal to the standards in place at
project approval for all phases rather than having the potential of development
regulations changing over time impacting subsequent phases of a project unless state or
federal mandates change beyond the City’s control that require modifications to the
master plan.
Built into the proposed text amendment are incentives if an applicant chooses to go
through a master plan process. An applicant may achieve more density or additional
stories if certain development features are incorporated such as low impact
development.
Policy LU-5: Link together regionally significant land uses such as the SuperMall, Green
River Community College, Boeing, Emerald Downs, and commercial uses on Auburn
Way in a manner that enhances the regional stature of Auburn…
Comment:
The proposed master plan process would be applicable to institutional uses on sites with
a minimum of 5 acres, such as Green River Community College, and for commercial
uses on sites with a minimum of 10 acres, such as the SuperMall. The master plan
process could be useful for institutional uses that need to plan out capital investments
over a long period of time as well as larger scale commercial sites that could redevelop
in the future.
Planning out future improvements/developments over a ten year timeframe allows for a
holistic review of the development and how the project could link with significant regional
uses within the City.
Policy EN-17A: Encourage the use of low impact development techniques in public and
private development proposals in order to minimize impervious surfaces and improve
water quality.
Comment:
The proposed code amendment includes an incentive table that allows an applicant to
increase density and/or floor area (e.g. additional stories) and increased lot coverage
than what is permitted in the underlying zone if low impact development is incorporated
into the project.

Administrative Recommendation:
For discussion only.
Background Summary:
On March 10, 2010, the City Council passed Ordinance 6297 approving the rezone of
three adjacent parcels (Parcel Nos. 1221049041, 1221049042 and 1221409043) located
just north of 15th Street NW, and just to the east of State Route 167 in the City of
Auburn from C3, Heavy Commercial, to BP, Business Park. Condition No. 4 of the
Ordinance specified the following: "The general location of the proposed building to be
developed on the subject site shall be consistent with the conceptual site plan dated
February 5, 2010. The total area of any proposed building shall be limited to 95,000
square feet. The proposed storm drainage facility may increase depending on the
outcome of the final site plan review which could impact location of parking spaces and
will be reviewed as part of the final site plan review process. The project shall comply
with the retail space requirements of Condition 2(B)(1) of Auburn Ordinance No. 5607
The City of Auburn has received a development application for an industrial laundry
facility at the subject site that would have a first floor building square footage of 102,822
square feet and a total building square footage of 145,927 square feet. On May 18,
2011, the Planning Director determined that an institutional laundry service would be
consistent with janitorial services and is an allowed use in the zone if the application
shows compliance with all other provisions of Ordinance 6297 and that for purposes of
this rezone, building area would be calculated based on first floor square footage. The
proposed development exceeds the allowable building square footage by a total of 7,927
square feet or eight (8) percent. Condition 11 of the Ordinance states the following:
If changes to the language of the rezone are required such proposed changes shall be
reviewed by the Planning and Community Development Committee of the City Council
or its successor. If the change is minor - less than 10% change - then the Committee
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.C
shall make a recommendation to the City Council. If the change is major - greater than
10% modification - then the Committee shall refer the change to the Hearing Examiner.
The Hearing Examiner shall conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation to
the City Council. The Planning and Community Development reviewed the proposed
rezone change at their November 14, 2011 meeting and recommended approval to the
full City Council.
**The Committee's and Council's consideration in this matter is considered to be quasi-
judicial requiring findings of fact and conclusions of law. Because this quasi-judicial
action was specified by previous Council action on this matter, the Committee and City
Council should conduct themselves in accordance with appropriate quasi-judicial
procedures. The City Attorney's Office will provide a separate memo on appropriate
quasi-judicial procedures applicable to this requested action.

Background Summary:
When Vision 2040 was adopted by the Puget Sound Regional Council General
Assembly in May 2008, there were provisions for the four counties to update their
Countywide Planning Policies (CPP) to be consistent with the Multi-County Planning
Policies identified in Vision 2040. Pierce County began that work, through the Growth
Management Coordinating Committee (GMCC), towards the end of 2009 and has
continued that work through March 2011. The GMCC is a staff level committee
representing each jurisdiction in Pierce County that makes recommendations, related to
growth management, to the Pierce County Regional Council (PCRC).
The GMCC has been working on proposed changes to the CPPs to be consistent with
Vision 2040 has made their recommendation to the PCRC. The PCRC has been
reviewing the CPP amendments and has made their recommendation to the Pierce
County Council for ratification. The Pierce County Council approved Ordinance No.
2011-34s on July 19, 2011 and has sent the amended Pierce County CPPs for
ratification to the cities and towns.
The amendments to the CPPs become effective when 60 percent of the jurisdictions in
Pierce County representing 75 percent of the total population adopt the amendments.
This threshold correlates to 14 cities and towns and Pierce County representing a
minimum of 601,612 people.
The Planning and Community Development reviewed Resolution No. 4772 and
recommended approval to the full City Council at their November 14, 2011 meeting.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Background and Statutory Framework
In response to legislative findings that uncoordinated and unplanned growth together with a lack of
common goals toward land conservation pose a threatto the environment,to the public health,
safety and welfare,and to sustainable economic development,the State legislature enacted the
Growth Management Act.' The Act identifies 4 14 planning goals which are intended to be used
e3 for the purpose of guiding the development and adoption of comprehensive
plans and development regulations of municipalities and counties required to plan? The categories
in which goals have been propounded are: urban growth,sprawl reduction,transportation,housing,
economic development,property rights,permits,natural resource industries,open space and
recreation,shoreline,environment,citizen participation and coordination,publicfacilities and
services,and historic preservation. -- . -•.. . . -- _ • . - -• • • -
The Act specifies
mandatory3 and optional4 planelements as follows:
Mandatory Elements Optional Elements

Introduction
One of the most important planning tenetsexpressed in the Growth Management Act is the
consistency requirement,which takes many forms as follows:
consistency of municipal/County plans with the planning goals identified in RCW
36.70A.020
internal consistency between plan elements
consistency of all otherplan elements with the future land use map
consistency of any subarea plans with the comprehensive plan
consistency of the transportation element with the land use element
consistency of the transportation element with the six-year plans required by RCW
35.77.010 for cities,RCW 36.81.121 for counties,and RCW 35.58.2795 for public
transportation systems
consistency between the County Comprehensive Plan and the comprehensive plans of
all municipalities within the County
consistency of comprehensive plans of each municipality and county with
comprehensive plans of neighboring municipalities and counties with common borders
or faced with related regional issues
consistency of developmentregulations with the comprehensive plan
consistency of capital budget decisions with the comprehensive plan
consistency with the PugetSound Regional Council's(PSRC)Multicounty Planning
Policies(MPPs)as required by RCW 36.70A.210(7)
consistency of state agency actions in relation to the location, financing and expansion
of transportation systems and other publicfacilities with county and municipal
comprehensive planning
Despite the factthat the word "consistency" is used repeatedly in the Growth Management Act, it is
not defined. The Standard Planning Enabling Act promulgatedin 1928 by the United States
Department of Commerce established the conceptthat zoning regulations should be "in accordance
with a comprehensive plan." In the 64 yearssince the modelact was developed this concept has
evolved from being merely advisoryor guiding to one that mandates that the goals,objectives,
policies,and strategies of each document must be inagreement with and harmonious with the
provisions of all other required documents. The consistency doctrine has been continually
strengthened by both state statutes and bycourt decisions in both,`consistency statute states' and
those states adopting the conceptby increasinglyvigorous interpretation of the"in accordance with"
statutory language.

Introduction
A second planning tenet which the Growth Management Act promotes is concurrency--i.e.,that
concept that public facilities and services necessary to serve new development atadopted level of
service standards are actually available at the time of development. The concurrencyrequirement is
stated generally in the planning goals6 as follows:
Ensure that those publicfacilities and services necessary to supportdevelopment
shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is
available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below
locally established minimum standards.
In the transportation element,which is a requiredplan element for all municipal and County
comprehensive plans,the concurrency requirement is restated in more forceful terms as follows:7
local jurisdictions must adopt and enforce ordinances which prohibit
development approval if the development causes the level of service on a
transportation facility to decline below the standardsadopted in the
transportation element of the comprehensive plan, unless transportation
improvements or strategies to accommodate the impacts of development are
made concurrent with the development.
These strategies may include increased public transportation service, ride sharingprograms,demand
management,and other transportation systems management strategies;the importance of
considering multimodal transportationimprovements is set forth in RCW 36.70A.108. Concurrent
with the development means that for non-transportation facilities, improvements or strategies are in
place at the time of development and in the case of transportation facilities,that a financial
commitment is in place to complete the improvements or strategies within six(6)years.
Portions of the mandatory planning,consistency,and concurrency requirements combine to suggest
a strong relationship between the accommodation of growth and the provision and financing of
public facilities and services tomeet facility and service demands generated by that growth. This
relationship is thenstrengthened by the Urban Growth Area boundary designation and public
facility requirements.8
In order to accomplish these new planning and plan implementation requirements,the legislature
has expressly authorized the use of innovative techniques,9 including impact fees.10

Introduction
In 1991,the State legislature amended the Growth Management Act,inter alia,torequirethat the
legislative body of the County adopt countywide planning policies,in cooperation with the
municipalities in the County. Countywide planning policies are written policy statements
establishing a countywideframework from which county and municipal comprehensive plans are
developed and adopted. The framework is intendedto ensure that municipal and County
comprehensive plans are consistent."
The development of the countywide planning policies was is intended to be a collaborative process
between the County and the municipalities. The legislation required the Countylegislative body to
convene a meeting with representatives of each municipality. The County and the municipalities
then determine the process in by which they will agree to allprovisions and procedures of the
countywide planning policies including`,but not limited to,desired planningpolicies,deadlines,and
ratification. No later than July 1, 1992,tThe legislative authority of the County is required to adopt
countywide planning policies in accordance with the agreed-upon process after holding therequisite
public hearing or hearings.12
The Countywide PlanningPolicies are not substitutes for comprehensive plans but,rather goals,
objectives,policies,and strategies to guide the production of the County and municipal
comprehensive plans.
The Countywide Planning Policies shall,at a minimum,address the following:13
a) Policies to implement RCW 36.70A.110;
b) Policies for promotion of contiguous and orderly development and
provision of urbanservices to such development;
c) Policies for siting public capital facilities of a countywideor statewide
nature;
d) Policies for countywide transportation facilities and strategies;
e) Policies thatconsider the need for affordable housing, such as housing for
all economic segments of the population and parameters for its distribution;
I) Policies for joint County and city planning within urban growth areas;
g) Policies for countywide economicdevelopment and employment;and

B. Framework Agreement for the Adoption of the Countywide Planning Policies
Pursuant to the Growth Management Act,Pierce County and the municipalities haveentered into an
Interlocal Agreement for the development,and adoption, and amendment of the Countywide
PlanningPolicies(CPPs).14 The Agreementprovides for the establishment of a Steering Committee
consisting of one elected official from Pierce County andone elected official from every
municipality in the County. The principalresponsibility of drafting the Countywide Planning
Policies was given to the Steering Committee.15 The Steering Committee is now the Pierce County
Regional Council(PCRC)and receivesd technical/staff support from the Growth Management
Coordinating Committee(GMCC)'and the Transportation Coordinating Committee(TCC). e
Strategies.
Ratification of and amendments to the Countywide Planning Policies requires the affirmative vote
of 60%of the affected governments in Pierce County representing a minimum of 75%of the total
Pierce County population as designated by the State Office of Financial Management at the time of
the proposed ratification.
C. - -.- . - -- `- .. - - Countywide PlanningPolicies
Countywide planning policies are policy documents that have both a procedural and a substantive
effect on the comprehensive plans of cities and the county. The immediate purpose of the CPPs is
to achieve consistency between and among the plans of cities and the county on regional matters. A
long-term purpose of the CPPs is to facilitate the transformation of local governance in urban
growth areas so that cities become the primary providers of urban governmental services and
counties becomethe providers of regional and rural services and the makers of regional policies.
Poulsbo, 92-3-0009c,FDO,at 23.] [Also,Snoqualmie, 92-3-0004c,FDO,at 9.] Another purpose

However,tThe effectiveness of the Countywide PlanningPolicies is not based merely on the fact
that they are adopted, but rather on the fact that they must be adhered to and implemented inthe
County and municipality comprehensive plans and development regulations. The legislation
provides a process to challenge the failure of a County or municipality to comply with the
Countywide PlanningPolicies through petition to the Growth Planing ManagementHearings
Board.22 The Growth Planning Management Hearings Board shall hear and determine only those
petitions alleging either: (a)that the State,countyor municipality is not in compliance with the
Growth Management Act;or(b)that the 20-year growth management planning population
projections adopted by the State Office of Financial Management should be adjusted.23 Petitions
must be filed within sixty(60)days after publication of the ordinance adopting the comprehensive

The Pierce County Countywide Planning Policies(CPPs)must be consistent with the PugetSound

set forth in PSRC's VISION 2040, which specifically requiresthat the Pierce County Countywide
Planning Policies be updated, where necessary, byDecember 31, 2010, to address the MPPs in
VISION 2040. The Countywide Planning Policies should also be updated to addresschanges in the
Growth Management Act language and interpretation that have taken place since the original
adoption of the Countywide PlanningPolicies in 1995. The 2009 update to those provisions of th e
Washington Administrative Code that provide guidance for implementation of the Growth

Introduction
VISION 2040
VISION 2040 is the long-range growth management,environmental,economic,and transportation
strategy for the central Puget Sound region adopted in April 2008by the PSRCGeneral Assembly.
VISION 2040 promotes an environmentally friendly growth pattern that will contain the expansion
of urban growth areas,conserve farm and forest lands, support compact communities where people
nay both live and work,and envisions that a significant share of new employment and housing will
occur in vibrant urban centers. VISION 2040 promotes the theme of"people,prosperity,planet"as
a sustainability framework.
TheRegional Growth Strategy set forth in VISION 2040 providesspecific guidance for the -
distribution of futurepopulation and employmentgrowth through the year 2040 into types of places
defined as"regional geographies." The Regional Growth Strategy reflects a substantial shift in
future growth patterns for many jurisdictions and implementation will be challenging. Jurisdictions
in some regional geographies will likely be planning for targets that are above or below the
policy direction set by the Regional Growth Strategy because they are on a front-or back-loaded
growth trajectory toward 2040. In other regional geographies, recent growth has been atsuch
significant odds with the policy direction set by the Regional Growth Strategy(such as recent
growth in unincorporated urban Pierce County from 2000 to2007 has already accounted for
more than half of the 40-year growth allocation), that the 2040goal will likely not be met. In
such
cases,jurisdictions are asked to set growth targets as close to VISION 2040 as reasonably
in an effort to"bend the trend"of future growth to more closelyconform to the
Regional Growth Strategy,'
Multicounty Planning Policies(MPPs)
VISION 2040 includes a set of multicounty planning policies that provide an integrated framework
for addressing land use,economicdevelopment,transportation, publicfacilities, and environmental
issues. Multicounty planning policies are adopted by two or more counties and establish a common
regionwide framework that ensures consistencyamong county and city comprehensive plans
adopted pursuant to RCW 36.70A.070,and countywide planning policies adopted pursuantto RCW
36.70A.210.
Multicounty planning policies provide a framework for regional plans developed within a - -
multicounty region, including regionaltransportation plans establishedunder RCW 47.80.023,as
well as plans of cities, counties,and others that have common borders or related regional issues as
required under RCW 36.70A.100. The regional transportation planning organization,pursuant to
RCW 47.80.020, should be the agency to develop,adopt, and administer multicountyplanning
policies.
Multicounty planning policies address,at a minimum,the same topics identified for countywide
planning as identified in RCW 36.70A.210(3),except for those responsibilities assigned exclusively

Countywide Planning Policies are written policy statements which are to be used solely for
establishing a Countywideframeworkfrom which the County and municipal comprehensive plans
are developed and adopted. The framework is intended to ensure that the County and municipal
comprehensive plans are consistent, as required by the Washington statutes.
RCW 43.17.250 Countywide Planning Policy Incentives requires State agencies that provide
funding to review local proposals for consistency with any adopted countywideplanning
policies. State agencies will review local proposals to determine if they are addressed by a
Countywide Planning Policy and accord additional preference to the County, city, or town if
such Countywide Planning Policy exists. The County, and many of the municipalities within the
County, typically address specific proposals within their local comprehensive plans and capital
facilities plans. These locally adopted plans serve to supplement and refine the more generalized
policies contained within the Countywide PlanningPolicies. Therefore, this document, as well
as any locally adopted comprehensive plan and/or capital facilities plan, shall be considered by
State agenciesin making determinations under RCW 43.17.250.

Affordable Housing
COUNTYWIDEPLANNING POLICY ON THE "NEED
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL ECONOMIC SEGMENTS
OF THE POPULATION AND PARAMETERS FOR ITS DISTRIBUTION"
Background-Requirement of Growth Management Act
The Washington State Growth Management Act mandates identifies as a planning goal to guidc the
thatcounties and
cities encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of the population,
promote a variety of residential densities and housingtypes,and encourage preservation of the
existing housing stock. [RCW 36.70A.020(4)] The term "affordable housing" is not defined,but
the context in which it appearssuggests that its meaning was intended to be broadly construed to
refer tohousing of varying costs,sincethe reference is to all economic segments of the community.
The Washington State Growth Management Act requires the adoption of countywide planning
policies for affordable housinginorder to establish a consistent county-wide framework from which
county and city comprehensive plans are developed and adopted. These policies are required to,at
a minimum,"consider the need for affordable housing, such as housing for all economic segments
of the population and parameters for its distribution" [RCW 36.70A.210(3)(e)].
TheWashington State Growth Management Act also identifies mandatory and optional plan
elements. [RCW 36.70A.070 and .080]. A Housing Element is a mandatory plan element that
must,at a minimum, include the following [RCW 36.70A.070(2)]:
a) an inventory and analysis of existing and projectedhousing needs that identifies the number
of housing units necessary to manage projected growth;
b) a statement of goals,policies and objectives,and mandatory provisions for the preservation,
improvement and development of housing, including single-family residences;
c) identification of sufficient land for housing, including,but not limited to,government-
assisted housing,housing for low income families, manufacturedhousing,multi-family
housing,group homes,and foster care facilities;
d) adequate provisions for existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of
the community.
Since the Comprehensive Plan of every city and county must be an internally consistentdocument
RCW 36.70A.070]and all plan elements must be consistent with the future land use map prepared
as part of the required land use element[RCW 36.70A.070],these other plan elements will,to a
great extent,dictate what will be in the housing element.
Thus,the land use element,relying upon estimates of futurepopulation,growth,average numbers of
persons per household,and land use densities,will indicate how much(and where)land needs to be
made available toaccommodate the identified housing needs. Thecapital facilities,transportation

VISION 2040 Multicounty Planning Policies(MPPs)
VISION 2040recognizesthat to meetthe demands of a growing and changing population in the
central PugetSound, the region needs to develop vibrant communities that offer a diverse and
well-distributed mix of homes affordable to both owners and renters in every demographic and
income group. VISION 2040 encourages housing production that will meet our needs and places
a major emphasis providing residences that are safe and healthy, attractive, and closeto jobs,
shopping, and otheramenities. The Multicounty PlanningPolicies address I) housing diversity
and affordability, 2)jobs-housing balance, and 3) best practices for home construction. These
Multicounty PlanningPolicies place an emphasis on preserving and expanding housing
affordability, incorporating quality and environmentally responsible design in homebuilding, and
offering healthy and safe home choices for all the region's residents.

Background-Requirements of Growth Management Act
TheWashington State Growth Management Act identifies themaintenance and enhancement of
natural resource-based industries, including productive agricultural industries,and the conservation
of productive agricultural lands as planning goals to guide the development and adoption of
comprehensive plans and development regulations. [RCW 36.70A.020(8)]. While the expression of
planning goals in the Growth Management Act is linked to "natural resource industries," including
productive timber and fisheries,a separate policy for Agricultural Lands has been proposed
developed because of their uniqueimportance in Pierce County and their relationship to urban
growth area boundaries and policies. Although the Growth Management Act does not expressly
require a countywide planning policy on agricultural lands,the requirement was added by the
Interlocal Agreement: Framework Agreement for the Adoption of the Countywide Planning Policy
Pierce CountyCouncil Resolution No.R91-172, September 24, 1991).
VISION 2040 Multicounty Planning Policies(MPPs)
VISION 2040 recognizes that the agricultural land in the central Puget Sound region is among
the most productive in Washington State. It also recognized that the loss of these lands, along
with their productivity, has impacts on the environment, including air and water quality and
quantity, our economy, and ultimately the health of the region's people.
VISION 2040 also identifies threats to the region's agricultural lands, including urban
development, incompatible adjacent land uses, and the loss of supporting services. VISION
2040 seeks to permanently protect these key agricultural resource lands. The Multicounty
PlanningPolicies calls for conserving the region's natural resourcelands, establishing best
managementpractices that protect the long-term integrity and productivity of these lands,
limiting the conversion of these lands, and ensuringthat development does not adversely impact

Background-Requirements of Growth Management Act
The Washington State Growth Management Act contemplates that the Countywide Planning
Policies will remain effectivethroughout the comprehensiveplan preparation,adoption and
implementation processes to ensure that municipal and county comprehensive plans are consistent,
as required by the Act[RCW 36.70A.210(1)]. Because the factors,data and analysis upon which
the Countywide PlanningPolicies have been formulated are subject to change, it is important that a
process be established toeffectuate such changes,whenappropriate and needed.
The Washington State Growth Management Act requiresthat each County which adopts a
comprehensive plan designate an urban growth area or areas within which urban growth shall be
encouraged and outside of whichgrowth can occur only if it is not urban in nature [RCW
36.70A.110(1)]. As discussed above,the factors,data and analysis upon which the UGA

objectives contained in the Countywide PlanningPolicies and the County and city and town
comprehensive plans with actual growth and development that has occurred. At a minimum, the
evaluation is to determine if there is sufficient suitable land to accommodate the countywide
population projection and determine the density of housing that has been constructed and amount
of land developed for commercial and industrial uses within the urban growth area_ Detailed

ON COMMUNITY AND URBAN DESIGN
Background-Growth Management Act
The Washington State Growth Management Act identifies as a planning goal to encourage
development in urban areas and to reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into
sprawling, low-densitydevelopment. To encourage this type of urban development that has
increased density,and is compact and serviced by multiple transportation alternatives, it requires
close attentionto the urban design,community context and character, in orderto function
effectively and consistent with the vision of an individual community. The Growth Management
Act does not expressly require that the County adopt a planning policy on urban design;however,
VISION 2040 and the Multicounty Planning Policies provide goals and policies related toregional
design and urban design.
VISION 2040 Multicounty Planning Policies(MPPs)
VISION 2040 called for identifying and protecting significant visual and cultural resources that
preserve community character. It calls for designing facilities throughout the regionthat advance
community development,and for creating parks and civic spaces. VISION 2040 also advances
redevelopment and infill as opportunities for revitalizing communities, including along linear
corridors(such as low-scale retail strips along the thoroughfares). Open space and parks at a variety
of scales create public amenities,contribute to the character of communities,and provide
opportunities for recreation and physical activity.

also related to healthy living as well as climate change. VISION 2040 contains specific goals and
policies addressing health and well-being,climate,change and air and water quality.
In 2005,the legislature amended the GMA torequire communities to adopt and implement plans
and strategies to promote an increase inphysical activity among Washington State citizens. In
response to this requirement,jurisdictions updated transportation elements to include a pedestrian
and bicycle component,as well as identified planned improvements for those facilities and
corridors. Other strategies for achievingimproved public health include the adoption of"Complete
Streets"policies,policies addressing the development and improvement of infrastructuresupportive
of community walkability,and improvements addressing the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians.
Jurisdictionscontinue to adopt these mechanisms to enhance public health, consistent with the2005
amendments to the GMA.
VISION 2040 Multicounty Planning Policies(MPPs)
VISION 2040 acknowledges that the health and well-being of the region's people is fundamental to
maintaining and improving the region's sustainability and quality of life. It recognizes that human
health is affected by thehealth of the natural environment,the strength of our region's communities
and social networks,the way we build our cities and transportation systems,and theaesthetics and
functionality of thosesystems. VISION 2040 addresses numerous ways that humanhealth canbe
impacted in the central Puget Sound region,such as exposure to air and water pollution,automobile-
related injuries anddeaths,chronic diseases related to physical inactivity,and lack of fresh and
healthy foods. It further recognizes thatattentionto health as a consequence of planning and
infrastructure decisions can improve quality of life,reduce health carecosts,and lessen impacts
from lost productivity.
VISION 2040 addresses many of the region's health concerns by providing strategies that will
significantly reduce air and water pollution from transportation activities and other sources. A core
concept of VISION 2040 is improving the safety of the transportation system for drivers,
passengers,pedestrians,bicyclists,and others. Multicounty planningpoliciescall for designing

The Washington State Growth Management Act identifies the following as planning goals: (4-)
maintain and enhance natural resource-based industries,including productive timber,agricultural
and fisheriesindustries![RCW 36.70A.020(8)];(2)encourage the conservation of productive forest
lands and productive agricultural lands,and discourage incompatible uses [RCW 36.70A.020(8)];

including air and water quality,and the availability of water[RCW 36.70A.020(10)]. Although
The degree of interconnectedness between them these goals
leads to the development of a single,comprehensive planning policy. Although the Growth
Management Act does not expressly require a countywide planning policy on natural resources,
open space,and protection of environmentally sensitive lands,the addition of such a policy was
specifically identified in the Pierce County Interlocal Agreement: "Framework Agreement for the
Adoption of the Countywide Planning Policy(Pierce County Council Resolution No.R-91-172,

VISION 2040 Multicounty Planning Policies(MPPs)
VISION 2040 acknowledges thatcertain development patterns and practices havedamaged and
threaten to further disrupt the region's ecosystems. It recognizes that while some impacts are
irreversible, the region can curb pollution, change land use and transportation patterns, and better
manage wasteto protect key ecological functions and help restore the environment.
VISION 2040 stresses the ecological, economic, and health benefits of preserving and restoring
our natural environment. The Multicounty Planning Policies in VISION 2040 have been
developed around the theme of environmental stewardship and sustainability. This is further
expressed in VISION 2040's theme of people, prosperity and planet. This theme recognizesthe
important relationship between ourcommunities, oureconomy, and ourenvironment.
VISION 2040 acknowledges that atmospheric pollution threatens to alterthe way the natural
environmentfunctions and to affect human health and well-being. It recognizes that theaverage
annualtemperatures are already rising in the Pacific Northwest and that reduced snowpack and
earlier spring runoffs could result in increasing water shortages and droughtconditions. VISION
2040's commitment to sustainable growth, clean transportation, and environmentally friendly
development practices will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions andcreate healthier communities.
VISION 2040 also provides guidance for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and planning for
various impacts caused by climate change. Included is an overarching goal thatcalls for reducing
pollutants which contribute to climate change. Multicounty planning policies commit the region to

Rural Areas
NEW CHAPTER
COUNTYWIDEPLANNING POLICY
ON RURAL AREAS
Background-Growth Management Act
The Washington State Growth Management Act requires that county comprehensive plans
include a rural elementthat includes lands that are not designated for urban growth, agriculture,
forest, or mineral resources. This element is guided by multiple sections in the GMA related to
rural areas, including RCW 36.70A.030 (Definitions), RCW 36.70A.01I (Findings-Rural
lands), RCW 36.70A.070 (5) (Comprehensive plans-Mandatory elements-RuralElement); and
others.
Rural elements are intended to recognize the importance of rural lands and rural character to
Washington's economy, its people, and its environment,while respecting regional differences. In
the rural element, counties are to foster land use patterns and develop a local vision of rural
character that will: help preserve rural-based economies and traditional rural lifestyles;
encouragethe economic prosperity of rural residents; foster opportunities for small-scale, rural-
based employment and self-employment; permit the operation of rural-based agricultural,
commercial, recreational, and tourist businesses that are consistent with existing and planned
land use patterns; be compatible with the use of the land by wildlife and for fish and wildlife
habitat; foster the private stewardship of the land and preservation of open space;and enhance
the rural sense of community and quality of life.
While the GMA assigns responsibility for adopting a rural element to counties, all jurisdictions
in a county, particularly those surrounded by or adjacent to rural lands, have an interest in what
occurs on rural lands. Hence, rural lands are includedin the Countywide Planning Policies in
order to achieve consistency between and among the plans of cities and the county.
VISION 2040 Multicounty Planning Policies(MPPs)
VISION 2040 identifies rural lands as permanent and vital parts of the region. It recognizes that
rural lands accommodate many activities associated with natural resources, as well as small-scale
farming and cottage industries. VISION 2040 emphasizes the preservation of these lands and
acknowledges that managing rural growth by directing urban-type development into designated
urbanlands helps to preserve vital ecosystems and economically productive lands.
VISION 2040 also acknowledges recent successes in directing growth away from rural lands.
However, it acknowledges that conversion pressures from urban developmentcontinue today,
particularly throughvesting, and calls for continued use of rural lands for farming, forestry,
recreation, and low-densitydevelopment supported by rural services. The Multicounty Planning
Policies reinforce this and call for minimizing environmental impacts to rural lands,while
providing long-term solutions for the environmental and economic sustainability of rural-based
industries.

COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICY ON
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES AND STRATEGIES
Background-Requirements of Growth Management Act
TheWashington State Growth Management Act identifies transportation facilities planning and,
specifically,encouraging efficient multi-modal transportation systems based on regional priorities
and coordinated with local comprehensive plans,as a planning goal to guide the development and
adoption of comprehensive plans and development regulations [RCW 36.70A.020(3)]. In addition,
it identifies a transportation element as a mandatory element of a county or city comprehensive plan
RCW 36.70A.070(6)]. The transportation element must include: (a) land use assumptions used in
estimating travel;(b)facilities and services needs;(c)finance;(d) intergovernmental coordination
efforts, including an assessment of the impacts of the transportation plan and land use assumptions
onthe transportation systems of adjacent jurisdictions;and(e)demand management strategies
RCW 36.70A.070(6)(a)-(c)]. The Growth Management Act expressly requires a Countywide
Planning Policy on transportation facilities and strategies [RCW 36.70A.210(3)(d)].
The Commute Reduction Efficiency Act of 2006(RCW 70.94.521-531)goal is to reduce
congestion on the roadway network and help address the air pollution issues within theurban areas.
This act requires localgovernmentsto work with their larger employers to develop and implement
strategies for reducing their single occupant auto trips. Jurisdictions affected by the commute trip
reduction (CTR) law are required to developlocal CTR plans that include the documenting of local
transportationsetting of the affected work sites an d thestrategies by which the rate of single
occupant vehicle use may be reduced.
VISION 2040 Multicounty Planning Policies(MPPs)
VISION 2040 offers an integrated approachtoaddressing land use and transportation,along with
the environment and economic development. It calls for a clean, sustainable transportation future
that supports the regional growth strategy. Sustainable transportation involves the efficient and
environmentally sensitive movement of people, information,goods and services—with attention to
safety and health. Sustainable transportation minimizes the impacts of transportation activities on
our air, water,and climate. It includes the design of walkable cities and bikable neighborhoods,as
well as usingalternatives to driving alone. It relies on cleaner,renewable resources for energy.
Thetransportation-related multicounty planning policies in VISION 2040 are presented in three
groups. The first group of policies calls for maintaining, preserving,and operating the existing
transportation system in a safer and more efficient way. They advance transportation that is less
polluting. The second group of policiescall for developing thesystem to support the regional
growth center,particularly travel within and between centers. Investments are to be prioritizedto
serve centersand to support pedestrian-oriented,mixed use development. The policies address
complete streets to serve all users, green streets that are better for the environment,and context-
sensitive design, that guides the development of transportation facilities to better fit within the
context of the communities in which they are located. There are policies addressing nonmotorized
transportation as well as freight. The final group of policies address greater transportation options,

AND PROVISION OF URBAN SERVICES TO SUCH DEVELOPMENT
Background-Requirements of Growth Management Act
The Washington State Growth Management Act has as planning goals des the encouragement
of development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided
in an efficient manner[RCW 36.70A.020(1)],the reduction of sprawl (i.e.,the inappropriate or
premature conversion of undeveloped land into low-density development) [RCW 36.70A.020(2)],
and the provision of adequate public facilities and services necessary to support urban development
at the time the development is available for occupancy and use(without decreasing current service
levels below locally established minimum standards) [RCW 36.70A.020(12)] as planning goals.to
The Growth Management Act further requires(1)that the County designate an"urban growth area"
UGA)or areas within which urban growth shall be encouraged and outside of which growth shall
occur only if it is not"urban" in character;(2)that each municipality in the County be included
within an UGA; (3)that an UGA include territory outside of existing municipal boundaries only if
such territory is characterized by urban growth or is adjacent to territory that is already characterized
by urban growth. [RCW 36.70A.110(1); for definition of"urban growth"see RCW
36.70A.030(17).]
The designated UGAs shall be of adequatesizeand appropriate permissible densities so as to
accommodate the urban growth that is projectedby the State Office of Financial Managementto
occur in the County for the succeeding 20-year period. While each UGA shall permit urban
densities, it shall also include greenbelt and open space areas[RCW 36.70A.110(2)].
As to the timing and sequencing of urban growth and development over the20-year planning
period,urban growth shall occur first in areas already characterized by urban growth that have
existing public facility and service capacities to service such development,second in areas already
characterized by urban growth that will be served by a combination of both existing publicfacilities
and services and any additional needed publicfacilities and services that are provided by either
public or private sources [RCW 36.70A.110(3)]. Urban government services shall be provided
primarily by cities,and -.. . it is not appropriate that urban
governmental services be extended to or expanded in rural areas except in those limited
circumstances shownto be necessary to protect basic public health and safety and environment and
when such services are financially supportable at rural densities and donot permit urban
development [RCW 36.70A.110(4)].
The Growth Management Act Amendments expressly require that countywide planning policies
address the implementation of UGA designations[RCW 36.70A.210(3)(a)],the promotion of
contiguous and orderly development,the provision of urban services to such development[RCW
36.70A.210(3)(b)],and the coordination of joint county and municipal planning within UGAs
RCW 36.70A.210(3)(f)].

VISION 2040 Multicountv Planning Policies(MPPs)
VISION 2040 calls for a more efficient, sustainable,and strategic use of the region's land.It
identifies urban lands as a critical component to accommodate population and employment growth
in a sustainable way. VISION 2040 calls for directing development to the region's existing urban
lands,especially in centers and compact communities, and limiting growth on rural lands. The
Regional Growth Strategy found in VISION 2040 allocates 93 percent of the region's future
populationgrowth and97 percent of its employment growth into the existing urban growth area.
Cities are divided into fourdistinct groups: Metropolitan Cities,Core Cities,Large Cities,and
Small Cities. An additional geography is Unincorporated Urban Growth Areas. VISION 2040
recognizesthat unincorporated urban lands are often similar in character tocities they are adjacent
to, calling for them to be affiliated with adjacent cities for joint planning purposes and future
annexation.
VISION 2040 recognizesthat compact development creates vibrant, livable,and healthy urban
communities that offer economicopportunities for all, provide housing and transportation choices,
and use our resources wisely. The Multicounty Planning Policies support the effective use of urban
land and include provisions that address brownfield and contaminated site clean-up, the
development of compact communities and centers with pedestrian-friendly,transit-oriented
locations and a mix of residences,jobs,retail,and other amenities,and the siting of facilities a nd
majorpublic amenities in compact urban communities and centers.
VISION 2040 recognizesthat centers provide easy access to jobs, services, shopping, and
entertainment. With their mix of uses and pedestrian-friendly design, they can rely less on forms
of transportation that contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. VISION 2040
identifies 27 regional growth centers. These places play an important role as locations of the
region's most significant business, governmental, and cultural facilities. The 18 citiesthat have
one or more regional growth centers are expected to accommodate a significant portion of the
region's residential growth (53 percent) and employmentgrowth (71 percent).
VISION 2040 calls for local jurisdictions with regional growth centersto adopthousing and
employment targets for each center. Eight regional manufacturing/industrial centers havealso
been designated. These are locations for more intensive commercial and industrial activity.
Both regional growth centers and regional manufacturing/industrial centers are focal points for
economicdevelopment and transportation infrastructure investments. Subregional centers,
including downtowns in suburban cities and other neighborhood centers, also play an important
role in VISION 2040's Regional Growth Strategy. These,too, are strategic locations for
concentrating jobs, housing, shopping, and recreational opportunities. VISION 2040 calls for
each of the region's cities to develop one or more central places as compact mixed-use hubs for
concentrating residences,jobs, shops, and community facilities.
Urban services addressed in VISION 2040 include wastewater and stormwater systems, solid
waste,energy,telecommunications,emergency services,and water supply. An overarching goal of
VISION 2040 is to provide sufficient and efficient public services and facilities in a manner that is
healthy, safe,and economicallyviable. Conservation is a major theme throughout VISION 2040.

The Multicounty Planning Policies address increasing recycling and reducing waste and
encouragingmore efficient use of water, low-impactdevelopment techniques,and renewable and
alternative energy. The Multicounty PlanningPolicies also address siting of public facilities and the
appropriateness and scale of particular public services.
VISION 2040 calls for jurisdictions to invest in facilities and amenities that serve centers and
restrict urban facilities in rural and resource areas. The Multicounty Planning Policies also
discourage schools and other institutions serving urban residents from locating outside the urban
growth area.
Principles of Understanding Between Pierce County andthe Municipalities in Pierce County
While following the goals and regulations of the Growth Management Act,Pierce County and the
municipalities in Pierce County will strive to protect the individual identities and spirit of each of
our cities and of the rural areas and unincorporated communities.
Further agreements will be necessary to carry out the framework of joint planning adopted herein.
These agreements will be between the County andeach city and between the variouscities.
The services provided within ourcommunities by special purpose districts are of vital importance to
our citizens. Consistent with the adopted regional strategy,these districts will be part of future
individual and groupnegotiations under the framework adopted by the County and municipal
governments.
While the Growth Management Act defines sewer service as an urbanservice,Pierce County
currently is a major provider of both sewer transmission and treatment services. The County and
municipalities recognize that it is appropriate for the County and municipalities to continue to
provide sewer transmission and treatment services.
The County recognizes that unincorporated lands within UGAs are often potential annexation areas
for cities. These are also areas where incorporation of new cities can occur. The County will work
with existing municipalities and emerging communitiesto make such transitions efficiently.
At the same time,annexations and incorporations have direct and significant impacts on the revenue
of countygovernment,and therefore, may affect the ability of the County to fulfill its role asa
provider of certain regional services. The municipalities will work closely with the County to
developappropriate revenue sharing and contractual services arrangements that facilitate thegoals
of GMA.
The Countywide PlanningPolicies are intended to be theconsistent"theme"of growth management
planning among the County and municipalities. The policies also spell out processes and
mechanisms designed tofoster open communication and feedback among the jurisdictions. The
County and the cities and towns will adhere to the processes and mechanisms provided in the
policies.

Growth Targets
The Regional Growth Strategy set forth in VISION 2040 provides guidance for the distribution of
future population and employment growth through theyear2040 within the Central Puget Sound
Region. This strategy in combination with the Office of Financial Management's population
forecasts provide a framework for establishing growth targets consistent with the requirements of
the Growth Management Act. Consistent with VISION 2040,these growth targets are the minimum
number of residents,housingunits,or jobs a given jurisdiction is planning to accommodate within
the appropriate planninghorizon and are informational tools integrated into local land use plans to
assist in formulating future residential and employment land needs. These targets are to be
developed through a collaborative countywide process that ensures all jurisdictions are
accommodating a fair share of growth.
Achievement of the future envisioned by VISION 2040 will be challenging.Jurisdictionsin some
regional geographies will likely be planning for growth targets that are above or below the policy
direction set by the Regional Growth Strategy because they are on a front-orback-loaded
growth trajectory toward 2040. In otherregional geographies, recent growth has been at such
significant odds with the policy direction set by the Regional Growth Strategy (such as recent
growth in unincorporated urbanPierce County from 2000 to 2007 has already accounted for
more than half of the 40-year growth allocation), that the 2040 goal will likely be exceeded. In
such cases,jurisdictions are asked to set growth targets as close to VISION 2040 as reasonably
possible in an effort to"bendthe trend"of future growth to more closelyconform to the -
Regional Growth Strategy. If a jurisdiction's adoptedtarget is lower orhigher thanexpected
from a straight-line application of the Regional Growth Strategy, certification by the Puget
Sound Regional Council (PSRC) will be based on the actions and measures taken or pro posedto
be put in place tobend the trend, notjust on an assessment of the adoptedtargets.
It is recognized that some of the urban growth areas in existence prior to the adoption of VISION
2040 maycontain more potential housing and employment capacity based upon zoning, allowed
density, land division patterns, and other factors than is needed to accommodate the growth
target of the associated geography. In many cases, these urban growth areas have been in
existence for a decade or more, contain existing development patterns which are urban in ,
character, and are served by sanitary sewer and other urban infrastructure. These areas are
largely expected to remain within the urban growth area consistent with their urban character.
Expansion of these urban growth area boundaries that do not comply with provisions in the
Amendments and Transition section of these policies is acknowledged to be inconsistent with
CPPs and is strongly discouraged.
Centers
Centers are to be areas of concentrated employment and/or housing within UGAs which serve as the
hubs of transit and transportation systems. Centers and connecting corridors are integralto creating
compact urban developmentthat conserves resources and creates additional transportation,housing,
and shopping choices. Centers are an important part of the regional strategy(VISION 2040) for
urban growth and are required to be addressed in the Countywide PlanningPolicies. Centers will
become focalpoints for growth within the county's UGA and will be areas where public investment
is directed.

Centers are to:
be priority locations for accommodating growth;
strengthen existing development patterns;
promote housing opportunities close to employment;
support development of an extensive multimodal transportation system which reduces
dependency on automobiles;
reduce congestion and improve air quality;and
maximize the benefit of public investment in infrastructure and services.
VISION 2040,the adopted regional growth strategy, identifies several different-types-of centers as
an integral feature for accommodating residential and employment growth. ,including three types
of Urban Centers: (1)Regional Center, (2)Metropolitan Center,(3)Urban Center,which feature a
mix of land uses,as well as a category for Town Center. (Note: In 2003,PSRC replaced the term
PSRC's Designation Criteria.) The strategy describes Regional Growth Centers,and other centers
thatmay be designated through countywide processes or locally. Regional Growth Centers once
regionally designated are located either in Metropolitan Cities, or inCore Cities. VISION 2040 also
identifies Manufacturing/Industrial Centers,which consist primarily of manufacturing and industrial
uses. (See 1995 VISION 2040 Update,pages 85 and 86.) Pierce County has five Urban-Centers
Pierce
County has five Regional Growth Centers and two Manufacturing/Industrial Centers that have been

and the exclusion of non-manufacturingor manufacturing-supportive usesis an essential feature of
their character. These areas are characterized by a significant amount of manufacturing, industrial,
and advanced technologyemployment uses. Large retail and non-related office uses are
discouraged. Other than caretakers'residences,housing is prohibited within
Manufacturing/Industrial Centers. However,these centers should be linked to highdensity housing

to markets is the critical element for manufacturers and industries located in these centers.
The designated Manufacturing/Industrial Centers,within Pierce County are as follows:

Frederickson
Port of Tacoma
Within Pierce County,a limited number of additional centers may be designated through
amendment of the Countywide PlanningPolicies consistent with theprocess below.
Designated centers mayvarysubstantially in the number of households and jobs they contain today.
Theintent of the Countywide Planning Policies is thatRegional Growth Centers become attractive
places to live and work,while supporting efficient public services such as transit and being
responsive to the local market for jobs and housing.
The Countywide PlanningPolicies establish target levels for housing and employment needed to
achieve the benefit of a center. Somecenters will reach these levels over the next twenty years,
while for others the criteria set a path for growth over a longerterm, providing capacity to
accommodate growth beyond the twenty year horizon.
County-Level CentersDesignation Process
The County and any municipality in the County that is planning to include a Metropolitan City
Center,Regional Growth Center, Countywide Center or Manufacturing/Industrial Center within its
boundaries shall specifically define the area of such center within its comprehensiveplan. The
comprehensiveplan shall include policies aimed at focusinggrowth within the center and along
corridors consistent with the applicable criteria contained within the Countywide Planning Policies.
The Countyor municipality shall adopt regulationsthat reinforce the center's designation.
No more often than once every two years,the Pierce County Regional Council(PCRC)shall invite
jurisdictions with centers already adopted in their comprehensive plan that seek to be designated as
centers in the Countywide PlanningPolicies to submit a request for such designation. Said request
shall be processed in accordance with establishedprocedures for amending the Countywide
PlanningPolicies.
Each jurisdiction seeking to have a center designated in the Countywide PlanningPolicies shall
provide the PCRC with a report demonstrating thattheproposedcenter meets the minimum criteria

Urban Growth Areas
Each jurisdiction which designates a Regional Growth Center shall establish 20-year household and
employment growth targets for thatCenter. The expected range of targets will reflect the diversity
of the various centers and allow communities to effectively plan for needed services. The target
ranges not only set a policy for the level of growth envisioned for each center,but also for the
timing and funding of infrastructure improvements. Reaching the target ranges will requirecareful
planning of public investment and providing incentives for private investments.
Urban Growth Outside of Centers
A variety of urban land uses and areas of growth will occur outside of designated centers but within
the UGA. Local land use plans will guidethe location,scale,timing and design of development
within UGAs. The UGA will be where the majority of future growth and development will be
targeted. Development should be encouraged which complements the desired focus of growth into
centers and supports a multimodal transportation system. For example,policies which encourage
infill and revitalization of communities would help to achievethe regional and statewide objectives
of a compact and concentrated development pattern within urban areas. The Countywide Planning
Policies provide guidance for development and the provision of urban services tosupport
development within the UGA.
Satellite Cities and Towns
The cities and towns in the rural areas are a significant part of Pierce County's diversity and
heritage. They have an important role as local trade and community centers. These cities and towns
are the appropriate providers of local rural services for the community. They also contribute to the
variety of development patterns and housing choices within the county. As municipalities,these
cities and townsprovide urban services and are located within the County's designated UGA. The
urban services,residential densities and mix of land uses may differ from those of the large,
contiguous portion of the UGA in Pierce County.

Background Summary:
The Pierce County Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) were amended in 2009 to
allow for a process to designate new Candidate Regional Centers. When the CPPs were
originally adopted in 1992, six Regional Growth Centers were identified. There are three
proposed Candidate Regional Centers:
· Cities of Sumner and Pacific for a new Manufacturing and Industrial Center
· City of Tacoma for a new Manufacturing and Industrial Center
· City of University Place for a new Regional Growth Center
The three jurisdictions submitted their applications to the Pierce County Regional
Council (PCRC) and those were forwarded to the Growth Management Coordinating
Committee (GMCC) for review. After reviewing the applications against the criteria
outlined in the CPPs, the GMCC made its recommendation of approval on January 27,
2011 and forwarded that recommendation to the PCRC. The PCRC reviewed the
proposals and recommended approval of the proposals in three separate motions on
March 17, 2011.
As the first step in the ratification process, the Pierce County Council adopted Ordinance
No. 20001-35s on August 9, 2011 and forwarded the approved amendments to the
Pierce County cities and towns for ratification. The amendments to the CPPs become
effective when 60 percent of the jurisdictions in Pierce County representing 75 percent of
the total population adopt the amendments. This threshold correlates to 14 cities and
towns and Pierce County representing a minimum of 601,612 people.

SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement-Amendments to the Pierce County Countywide Planning
Policies—Candidate Regional Centers
The Pierce County Regional Council (PCRC)recommended the attachedamendments to the Pierce
CountyCountywide Planning Policies. As the first step in the ratification process the Pierce
County Council adopted Ordinance No.2011-35s on August 9,2011. This action signifies Pierce
County's approval of the proposed amendmentto designate three new candidateregional centers
into the Pierce County CountywidePlanning Policies(CPPs)and authorizesthe Pierce County
Executive toexecute interlocal agreements with the Cities and Towns of Pierce County to ratify the
proposal. This correspondence is the official transmittal of the PCRC's recommendation to amend
the PCCs and request for ratification of the proposal.
The proposal isthe designation of three new candidate regional centers in the Pierce County
Countywide Planning Policies. Thenew regional centers include l)the Sumner-Pacific •
Manufacturing/Industrial Center,2)the South Tacoma Manufacturing/Industrial Center,and 3)the
University Place Regional Growth Center. If theseareas are adopted as regional centers in the
CPPs,the jurisdictions havethe opportunityto submit an application to the Puget Sound Regional
Council(PSRC)for regional center designation in VISION 2040. Until a regional-level
designation is approvedbyPSRC,the centers shall be considered a"candidate"regional center.
In approving itsrecommendationthePCRC took action to adopt the requested regional center
designations in three separate motions. This approach provides your jurisdiction the opportunity
to approve each of the three candidate regional centers independently. Accordingly,attachedis
an interlocal agreement for each of the threeproposed centers. While each of these agreements
must be signed to signify your jurisdiction's approval,your Council may pass one ordinance or
resolution to direct your respective jurisdiction's agent to sign each of the interlocal agreements.
ThePierce CountyOrdinance which includes the interlocal agreement and amendments tothe
Countywide Planning Policies and an explanatory sheetare included for your convenience.
The Pierce County CountywidePlanning Policies shall be ratified and become effective when60
percent of the jurisdictions in Pierce County representing 75 percent of the total population adopt
the amendments. This threshold correlates to 14 cities and towns and Pierce County representing a
minimum of 601,612people(based on 2011 OFM estimate).

2 Centers
3
4 Centers are to be areas of concentrated employment and/or housing within UGAs which serve as the
5 hubs of transit and transportation systems. Centers and connecting corridors are integralto creating
6 compact urban development that conserves resources and creates additional transportation,housing,
7 and shopping choices. Centers are an important part of the regional strategy(VISION 2040)for
8 urban growth and are required to be addressed in the Countywide Planning Policies. Centers will
9 become focalpoints for growth within the county's UGA and will be areas where public investment
10 is directed.
11 I
12 Centers are to:
13
14 • be priority locations for accommodating growth;
15 • strengthen existing development patterns;
16 • promote housing opportunities closeto employment;
17 • support development of an extensive multimodal transportation system which reduces
18 dependency on automobiles;
19 • reduce congestion and improve air quality;and
20 • maximize the benefit of public investment in infrastructure and services.
21
22 VISION 2040,the adopted regional growth strategy, identifies several centers as an integral feature
23 for accommodatingresidential and employmentgrowth. Thestrategy describes Regional Growth
24 Centers,and other centers thatmay be designated through countywide processes or locally.
25 Regional Growth Centers once regionally designated are located either in Metropolitan Cities,or in
26 Core Cities. VISION 2040 also identifies Manufacturing/Industrial Centers,which consist
27 primarily of manufacturing and industrial uses. Pierce County has five Regional Growth Centers
28 and two Manufacturing/Industrial Centers that have been adopted into the regionalgrowth strategy.
29 Pierce County Regional Growth Centers are located in Tacoma,which is a Metropolitan City,and
30 in Lakewood and Puyallup,which are Core Cities, .

41 Currently there are no designated Countywide Centers.
42
43 Manufacturing/Industrial Centers are areas whereemployee-or land-intensive uses will be located.
44 These centers differ from Regional Growth Centers in that theyconsist of an extensive land base
45 and the exclusion of non-manufacturing or manufacturing-supportive uses is an essential feature of
46 their character. These areasare characterized by a significant amount of manufacturing,industrial;

2 discouraged. Other than caretakers'residences,housing is prohibited within
3 Manufacturing/Industrial Centers. However,these centers should be linked to high densityhousing
4 areas by an efficientmultimodal transportation system. The efficiency of rail and overland freight
5 tomarkets is the critical element for manufacturers and industries located in these centers.

7 The designated Manufacturing/Industr•ial Centers,within Pierce County are as follows:
8
9 Manufacturing/Industrial Centers
10 Frederickson
11 Port of Tacoma
12
13 Within Pierce County,a limited number of additional centers may be designated through
14 amendment of the CountywidePlanning Policies consistent with the process below.
15
16 Designated centers may vary substantially in the number of households and jobs theycontain today.
17 The intent of the CountywidePlanning Policies is thatRegional Growth Centers become attractive
18 places to live and work,while supporting efficient public servicessuch as transit and being
19 responsiveto the local market for jobs and housing.
20
21 The Countywide Planning Policies establish target levels for housing and employment needed to
22 achieve the benefit of a center. Some centers will reach these levels over the next twenty years,
23 while for others the criteria set a path for growth over a longer term,providing capacity to
24 accommodate growth beyond the twenty year horizon.
25
26 County-LevelCenters Designation Process
27 The County and any municipality in the County that is planning to include a Metropolitan City28Center,RegionalGrowth Center,Countywide Center or Manufacturing/Industrial Center within its
29 boundariesshall specifically define the area of such center within its comprehensiveplan. The
30 comprehensive plan shall include policies aimed at focusing growth within thecenter and along
31 corridors consistent with the applicable criteria contained within the Countywide Planning Policies.
32 The Countyor municipality shall adopt regulations that reinforce thecenter's designation.
33
34 No more often than once every two years,the Pierce County Regional Council(PCRC)shall invite
35 jurisdictions with centers already adopted in their comprehensive plan that seek to be designated as
36 centers in the Countywide Planning Policies to submit a request for such designation. Said request
37 shall beprocessed in accordance with established procedures for amending the Countywide
38 PlanningPolicies.
39
40 Each jurisdiction seeking to have a center designated in the Countywide Planning Policies shall
41 provide the PCRC with a report demonstrating that theproposed center meets the minimum criteria
42 for designation together with a statement and map describing thecenter,its consistency with the
43 applicable CountywidePlanning Policies,and how adopted regulations will serve the center.
44
45 Transit services shall be defined in the broadest sense and shall include local and regional bus
46 service,rail whereappropriate,vanpool,carpool,and other transportation demand measures
47 designed to reduce vehicle trips.

3
4 Centers are to be areas of concentrated employment and/or housing within UGAswhich serve as the
5 hubs of transit and transportation systems. Centersand connectingcorridors are integral to creating
6 compact urban development that conserves resourcesand creates additional transportation,housing,
7 and shopping choices. Centers are an important part of the regional strategy(VISION 2040)for
8 urban growth and are required to be addressed in the Countywide Planning Policies. Centers will
9 become focal points for growth within the county's UGA and will be areas where public investment
10 is directed.
11
12 Centers are to: i
13
14 • be priority locations for accommodating growth; 1
15 • strengthen existing development patterns;
16 • promotehousing opportunities close to employment;
17 • support development of an extensive multimodal transportation system which reduces
18 dependency onautomobiles;
19 • reduce congestion and improve air quality;and
20 • maximize the benefit of public investment in infrastructure and services.
2122 VISION 2040,theadopted regional growth strategy,identifies severalcenters as an integral feature23foraccommodatingresidentialandemploymentgrowth. The strategy describes Regional Growth24Centers,and other centers thatmay be designated through countywide processes or locally.25 Regional Growth Centers once regionally designated are locatedeither in Metropolitan Cities,or in
26 Core Cities. VISION 2040 also identifies Manufacturing/Industrial Centers,which consist27primarilyofmanufacturingandindustrialuses.

2 discouraged. Other than caretakers'residences, housing is prohibited within
3 Manufacturing/Industrial Centers. However,these centers should be linked to high density housing
4 areas by an efficient multimodal transportation system. The efficiency of rail and overland freight
5 to markets is the critical element for manufacturers and industrieslocated in these centers.

19 responsive to the local market for jobs and housing.
20
21 The Countywide Planning Policies establish target levels for housing and employment needed to
22 achieve the benefit of a center. Some centers will reach these levelsover the next twenty years,
23 whilefor others the criteria set a path for growth over a longer term,providing capacity to
24 accommodate growth beyond the twenty year horizon.

FROM: Washington2 Advocates and Thompson Smitch Consulting Group
DATE: November 14, 2011
SUBJECT: 2011 Accomplishments and 2012 Priorities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As 2011 comes to a close, below please find a review of the activities of your federal lobbying
team this year on behalf of the City of Auburn and goals for 2012. Each firm, Washington2
Advocates (W2A) and Thompson, Smitch Consulting Group, brings a unique set of skills,
background and relationships that together help advance the goals of the City of Auburn. While
our focus is federal issues, we are a part of the City’s team assisting with important priorities at
the state and local level as well.
SUCESSES IN 2011
x Defend the Public Works Trust Fund -- In conjunction with partners in Olympia the
Auburn team successfully defended the City’s position within the Public Works
Trust Fund. This required a great deal of work within an exceptionally short
timeframe.
x Game Farm Park -- We worked with the City and State Agency leadership to reach a
potential deal for the remaining Game Farm Park property. Leveraging historical
relationships with leadership at the State Agencies, the Auburn team was able to
navigate the State regulatory environment and assemble a possible pathway for
success in securing the remaining four plus acres of the Game Farm Park property in
perpetuity, thus avoiding the scheduled public auction for the property.
x Historic Post Office -- We have worked extensively with the King County Executive’s
team to negotiate the sale of the Historic Post Office either to the City or to a local buyer.
We have provided strategic counsel and support to ensure the County understands this is
a City priority.
x Regional Firing Range -- Our team, rolled out an effort to secure funding sources for
the Regional Firing Range with help from the Federal Delegation. Although the
Federal budgetary climate is presently difficult, the Auburn team was able to work
DI.F
with the City and the Federal delegation to secure critical meetings and briefings with
potential funding partners. Key to this effort is the Homeland Security construct
within Washington State. The team has been able to secure a briefing with
Homeland Security leadership while at the same time briefing and gaining support
from several Federal law enforcement agencies. We also assisted the City with an
effort to develop letters of support from several local law enforcement agencies and
potential partners.
x M Street Project -- Our team provided strategic counsel regarding the M street grade
separation project, developing an alternative federal funding option for the City including
grant options and a strategic plan engaging Senator Murray’s office.
x Federal Funding -- The government relations team has been heavily involved in
advocating for Auburn specific issues and protecting programs the City values most. Our
teams have tracked, provided analysis, and advocated on behalf of funding with our
delegation for several federal programs important to the City including: High Speed Rail
funding, COPS funding, Community Development Block Grant funds among others.
With heavy budget cuts worsening on a yearly basis the Federal Government is regularly
proposing initiatives that could negatively impact the City of Auburn. Through our work
the delegation has been effective at blunting as much harmful policy as possible
x Water and Flooding Issues -- Our team, performed extensive contingency planning
on behalf of the City of Auburn concerning Howard Hansen Dam, city levees, the
Corps, and FEMA. The Auburn team possesses a longstanding historical perspective
and working knowledge on flooding issues as a result of past work on Howard
Hansen Dam and with the Corps. As a result the team was able to strategically plan
for City options dependent upon the result of the final FEMA appeal. We have
consistently communicated with the federal delegation, King County staff, and
agency staff on issues of importance to Auburn whether the appeal of FEMA
emergency funds for flooding preparation or on levee issues.
x Federal Legislation -- We have also worked with the delegation to support legislation or
key provisions in legislation important to the City. A few examples include:
o Congressman Reichert’s introduction of a fix for Health Reimbursement
Accounts, and the Valley Cities Water Resources Development Act requests.
o Transportation Reauthorization: We monitored action in the House and Senate on
SAFETEA-LU, legislation that authorizes funding for federal transportation
projects and briefed senior congressional staff on the requests for the City of
Auburn.
x Washington State Government -- We worked with the City on an ongoing basis to
execute outreach to the Washington State Legislative leadership and the Governor’s
office on issues of critical interest. The Auburn team has been effective leveraging
existing Washington State Legislative and Office of the Governor contacts to protect
vital funding streams at the State level. Auburn and cities across the State have and
will face serious efforts to cut State funds that historically go towards police and fire
amongst other important services. With massive budget shortfalls in Olympia, the
DI.F
Auburn team is persistent in efforts to ensure that Auburn does not endure grave
budget cuts.
x Building Relationships -- We helped on several challenging issue management projects
outside our traditional scope of work, and helped build stronger relationships for the City
with organizations that frequently create challenges and opportunities for Auburn. Those
projects involved outreach to the following groups: newly elected members of the state
legislature, lobbyists and consultants working on projects with other entities that
potentially benefit or harm Auburn, Sound Transit board members and senior
management, Port of Seattle commissioners and senior staff a variety of elected council
members and staff from the King County Council, and senior executives at Puget Sound
Energy.
WORK PLANNED FOR 2012:
In 2012, we plan on working with the City of Auburn on the following projects and issues:
x The federal and state budget climates demand a different approach in the coming years,
the City will need a robust plan to actively engage funding agencies in its projects to be
successful securing funds. We will work with the City of Auburn to strategize on the FY
2013 opportunities to include funding for:
x Regional Tri-trails project;
x Regional Training Center and Firing Range for law enforcement;
x Completion of the Historic Post Office Sale; and
x Game Farm Park
x We will continue to work with the City on federal funding opportunities through the
Water Resources Development Act.
x We will continue our work with the City on water management issues around flooding –
whether Howard Hansen Dam, FEMA reimbursement, or levee certification.
x We will work to advance the City’s priorities as reauthorization of SAFETEA-LU makes
its way through the legislative process. This legislation has the potential to provide
funding for Auburn transportation projects. Seizing those opportunities will require a
strategic and aggressive lobbying approach that we look forward to helping you manage
and execute.
x We will continue to monitor bills and provide strategic guidance and counsel on engaging
with the congressional delegation on rail and Amtrak issues.
x We will continue to monitor any legislative and regulatory activity related to the Indian
Gaming Regulatory Act.
DI.F
x We will continue to promote the expansion of key relationships in the region, DC and
local staff of Members of Congress, senior staff and commissioners at the Port of Seattle
and to regional political appointees (FEMA, EPA, NOAA Fisheries and HHS).
x We will continue ongoing strategic discussions with City staff regarding these and other
issues of significance to Auburn.
CONCLUSION
Your federal team very much enjoys the opportunity to work on behalf of Auburn. We have had
great success together, and we are looking forward to a productive 2012. Thank you for your
business and for the time you have invested with us. We look forward to working with you
throughout the year on these and other key projects for the City.

September 2011 Financial Report

Sept. 2011 financials
Budget Impact:
$0
Administrative Recommendation:
Background Summary:
The purpose of the monthly financial reports is to summarize for the City Council the
general state of financial affairs throughout the City and to highlight significant items or
trends that the City Council should be aware of. The following provides a high level
summary of the City's financial performance. Further detail can be found within the
attached financial report.
The September 2011 status report highlights City revenues and expenditures and is
based on financial data available as of October 25, 2011. Sales tax reported in
September is for business activities that occurred in July 2011.
General Fund:
The general fund accounts for all of the City's financial resources except those
required by statute or to be accounted for in another fund. The General Fund is the
City's largest fund and is used to account for the majority of City services.
As of the end of September, General Fund revenue collections totaled $37.1 million,
and compares to year-to-date budget of $35.5 million and were sufficient to meet
expenses of $36.7 million. Total General Fund revenues for the City at the end of
September are $1.6 million higher than budget due to relatively stronger than
anticipated collections in property and sales taxes, electric utility taxes and building
permit fees.
The City's sales taxes totaled $11.1 million and are 2.4% higher than last year.
Improvement in retail activity was noted in all areas with the exception of construction
and services which remain weak. Consumer confidence continue to reflect concerns
over stubbornly high unemployment rates, a weak housing market, and most recently
concerns over the financial crisis in Europe.
Expenditures for the General Fund were $4.1 million below budget at the end of
September. This is primarily due to unspent budget for retirement and long term care
along with timing of payments for SCORE, debt service payments interfund transfers
and under expenditures in professional services.
Enterprise Funds:
The City's eight enterprise funds account for operations with revenues primarily
provided from user fees, charges or contracts for services.
At the end of September the Water fund recognized a modest operating income as a
result of seasonal increase in irrigation usage during the late summer months. The
Sewer fund ended this period with an operating loss due to declining revenues as a
result of lower water consumption during the first half of the year and timing of
payments to Metro for sewer services. Stormwater revenues are on target and are
sufficient to meet expenses.
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.H
While Golf Course revenues improved compared to the same period 2010, reflecting
favorable weather conditions, revenues in total remain below year-to-date 2010 levels
and 2011 budgeted levels with the fund reporting a slight net operating loss as of
September.
Cemetery program revenues were higher than the same period last year but were not
sufficient to erase a year-to-date operating loss. A request to transfer $200,000 from
the Cumulative Reserve Fund will be submitted by the Finance Department for
inclusion in the forthcoming final 2011 budget amendment to Council (November
2011).
Internal Service Funds:
Internal Service Funds provide services to other City departments and include
functions such as Insurance, Facilities, Information Services, and Equipment Rental.
At the end of the August, revenue from charges assessed to internal client departments
was sufficient to meet expenses. Year to date expenses for the insurance fund
included payment of the annual insurance premium and will be offset by allocations to
various departments that will occur throughout the remainder of the year.
Investment Portfolio:
The City's total cash and investments at the end of September was $105 million and
compares to $110 million in August.

This financial overview reflects the City’s overall financial position for the fiscal year through
September 30, 2011. The report represents financial data available as of October 25, 2011. The
budgeted year-to-date revenues and operating expenses are primarily based on the
collection/disbursement average for the same period of the two prior years. The previous table
summarizes the General Fund revenues and expenditures.
At the end of September, General Fund revenues totaled $37.1 million and is slightly greater
compared to the same period of 2010 due to increased revenues from sales tax, utility tax and
building permits. General Fund revenue highlights include:
- Property taxes totaled $6.9 million and are almost equal to the level collected for the
same period last year.
- Sales taxes totaled $11.1 million, are slightly higher compared to collections as of
September 2010. Review of sales tax activity by sector show improvements in all sectors
with the exception of construction and services, which is below the same period last year
due to a one-time sales tax adjustment in 2010.
- Developmental service fees, culture and recreational charges for services and fines and
penalties, primarily from photo enforcement showed declines over the previous year.
General Fund expenses at the end of September totaled $36.7 million compared to $36.9 million
for same period 2010. When compared to budget, General Fund expenses were 10.2% below
expectations. Highlights include:
- Timing of intergovernmental payments for SCORE accounted for the majority of the
variance against budget. Currently there is an estimated $437,600 billing from SCORE
for September and additional $220,500 from King County for June through September
services that will be posted in October and November.
- Police expenditures are low compared to budget due to savings from staff vacancies.
- Streets expenditures were below budget due to pavement marking maintenance expense
that is typically spent later in the year.
- Non departmental was below budget primarily due to unspent budget for retirement
benefits, debt service payments, SCORE start up transition costs and the timing of transfers
out that are anticipated to occur during the last quarter of 2011.
The combined total of property tax, sales/use tax, utility tax, gambling, and admissions tax
provide 76% of all resources supporting general governmental activities. The following section
provides detail information on these sources.
Year-to-date collection at the end of September is $6.9 million, reflecting the majority of the first
half 2011 property tax payments, and is slightly higher than targeted revenues. The majority of
property tax revenues are collected during the months of April and October, coinciding with the
due date for County property tax billings.

Sales taxes are running slightly ahead of the previous year’s pace. Year-to-date sales tax revenue
totaled $11.1 million and compares to a year-to-date budget of $10.7 million. Sales taxes include
Streamlined Sales Tax Mitigation payments of $1,493,061 received through the end of 3rd quarter.
Total estimated Streamlined Sales Tax Mitigation for 2011 is $1,965,470 but the actual amount
the City will receive from the State is reduced by taxes received from companies that have
voluntarily complied with the new destination based sales tax.
While sales tax returns have improved slightly over the previous year, concerns over persistently
high unemployment, housing prices, and the financial crisis in Europe continue to dampen overall
consumer sentiment and the pace of the economic recovery in the short term.

concessions, contributions & donations and other miscellaneous income. The 2011 budget for this
revenue category is $491,880 and interest & investment and rentals & leases make up 86% of the

The Water Utility ended September with a slight operating gain due primarily to a decrease in
professional service expenses. Water sales totaled $6.3 million compared to $6.9 million for the
same period last year. While water usage in September increased in September reflecting
outdoor water usage by irrigation customers, water sold continue to trend below 2010 levels.
As shown in the following chart, water sales and consumption in 2011 is trending below prior
year levels. Despite a rate increase of 7% effective January 1, 2011, the decline in water
consumption more than offset the effect of the increase in rates. Although water sales increased
during the month of August and September, overall sales for 2011 will likely remain below 2010
levels for the remainder of the year. Finance will present an analysis of the financial condition of
the water fund as part of the overall City Utility funds financial forecast and update in mid
October.
Golf Course operating revenues at the end of September totaled $1.2M and is almost equal for
the same period in 2010. This revenue is low compared to year-to-date budget of $1.3 million,
due to a decline in the level of golfing activity during the first half of the year. Although recent
weather conditions have improved and resulted in 5,179 rounds played for September 2011 (vs.
4,630 in 2010), year-to-date rounds played are currently running about 3% below 2010 levels
(40,336 rounds played in 2011 vs. 41,760 rounds in 2010). Despite the improvement in activity
during the summer, Golf Course operating losses are expected to continue for the remainder of
2011.

The Insurance Fund expenses include a $265.7K balance of the annual insurance payment. This
amount will be decreasing throughout the year as the expense is being allocated to various
departments and funds on a monthly journal entry.
The Facilities Fund revenues of $2.9M cover expenses totaling $2.0M (including $437,500 in
debt service related to the annex building). Expenses are low compared to budget due to
professional services, utilities and repairs and maintenance that are anticipated to be spent later in
the year.

Equipment rental fund balance of $10.2M includes $4.3 M in fixed assets net of depreciation
