3 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN, KING
COUNTY, WASHINGTON, OPPOSING THE KING COUNTY COUNCIL ADOPTION
4 OF THE TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS FINAL RECEIVING AREAS
PLAN, DATED 10 NOVEMBER 1997 AS CURRENTLY WRITTEN, DRAFTED BY
5 THE KING COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
6 WHEREAS, the Lea Hill area, an approximately 5 5 square
7 mile area located east of the existing City limits, is within
8 the City of Auburn' s Potential Annexation Area (PAA) ; and,
9 WHEREAS, numerous parcels in the Lea Hill area,
10 illustrated in Figure 2-7 of the Transfer of Development
11 Rights Final Receiving Areas Plan (the PLAN) , have been
12 identified as potential Transfer of Development Rights (TDR)
13 receiving areas; and,
14 WHEREAS, based on the Figures provided as part of the
15 PLAN, the location of receiving areas Countywide does not
16 appear to be equally distributed throughout the unincorporated
17 urban area; the communities in the southern portion of the
18 County appear to have more parcels identified as receiving
19 areas and therefore will likely receive a disproportionate
20 impact from this proposed County program; and,
21 WHEREAS, negative impacts associated with increased
22 development densities (i e increased traffic, demand on
23 recreational services, etc ) within the Lea Hill area will

4 been documented within the PLAN for any area; and, potential
5 figures from County staff concerning rural lots eligible for
6 TDR have ranged from the thousands to between fifty (50) and
7 one-hundred-and-twenty-five (125) for the entire Lea Hill
8 community; and,
9 WHEREAS, no provisions have been made to deal with Cities
10 annexing parcels participating in the TDR program, and the
11 guarantee that these parcels will be permitted to develop with
12 the transferred density and concurrently increased mitigation
13 obligations; and,
14 WHEREAS, many of the potential receiving parcels within
15 the Lea Hill area are not suitable for TDR due to existing
16 development , steep slopes, wetlands, etc ; and,
17 WHEREAS, City concerns regarding the PLAN, conveyed to
18 County staff, resulted in no changes to the program; and,
19 WHEREAS, adoption of the PLAN by the King County Council
20 without incorporating suggested revisions or conducting
21 additional analysis could result in adverse impacts on the
22 residents of Auburn and the Lea Hill area
