B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS:
1. Earth:
A. Gene�al descii�tion of the eite(ciirle oue): Flat,roliing,lully,sfeep slones,mountainous,other.
Tlie City of Auburn and its Potential lvuuxation Atea (PAA) are characrerized by a relatively flat
central valley floor bordered by steep liillsides and upland plateaus to the�vest,east and soirtheast.
B. What is the sfeepest slope on the site(approximate percent slope)?
The slopes vary in areas ofthe city and PAA,but in some locations slopes associated with the
valley walls reach 100%.
C. What general types of soits are Found on the site(fw•examPle,clay,sand,gravel,peat,
muck)? If you know the classification of agricultu��sl soils,speciPy them and note any prime
fa►�nland.
7'l�e valley floor is made up primarily of soils of the Oridia, Renton,Snohomisly and Briscott
series. Tl�ese soils are generally poorly drained and formed in the alluvium(river sediments)
associated avith the Wliite end Green Rivers. These are considered good agricultuixif soils;tl►ough
in many areas,are iiot«rell-drained. There is no designated farmland�vithin the City ofAuburn.
Tlie Iullsides and plateaus are made up of primarily Alderwood associated soils and a small
amount of Everett associated soils(U.S. Department of Agricuhure, 1973). Aldenvood soils are

Faiviromnental Checklist(continued)
TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
moderately well drained gi�avelly sandy loams 20,40 inches deep. Beneatli tliese soils is glacial
I till�vith low permeability. Roots penetrate easily to the liardpan layer: Runoff potential is slo�v
to medium. Erosion and slippage hazard is moderate;mnging to severe on steeper slope phases
The Everett series consists of somewhat excessively drained soils that are underlain by vary
gravelly sand.These soils fonned in very gravelly glacial ouhvash deposits under conifers.They
a��e found on terraces and terrace fronts and are genHy undnlating to moderately steep.
D. Are there surface iadications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe.
Many factors affect slope stability including soil rype,pai�ent ntatarial, slope and drainage. These
factors can be fiuther affected by fiuman intervention stich as slope alteration,and vegetation
removal. The City has identified categories of geologic hazard areas and inventoried these areas.
Maps of the erosion and landslide hazard areas are provided as Maps 9.6 and 9.7,respectively in
tlie City's Comprehensive Plan.
E. Describe t6e purpose,type,and approximate quantitics of any filling or grading proposed.
Indicate source of fill.
Not applicable. The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments are non-project actions, no site
alteration,construction,or eadh�vork is proposed.
F. Coul�l erosion occur as a resu�t of alcaring,construction,or use? Yf so,generally describe.
Not app(icable. This is a non-project action.
'� ! G. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction(for example,asphalt or buildings)?
Not appliceble. The action does not involve site specific development proposals.
H. Proposed measures to reduce or control crosion or other impacts to the earth.
This is a non-project action, no site specific erosion control measu��es are proposed. However,ttie
existing comprehensive plan includes numerous policies to reduce or control erosion through the
use of best management practices, landscapiug reqdirements, lnnitations on alteiation of steep
slopes and other critical areas protections. Lnpacts to earth will be identified and, if necessazy,
mitigated during the deve(opmentrevie�v process as specific development proposals are made
that might be associated witl�these plan amendments.
These potential impacts would be avoided by implementing best managemenY practices and
complying�vith City of Auburn Surface Watei• Management Manual, November 2009, which is
based on equivalency to the Deparhnent of Ecology's2005 Stormwater Management Manual for
Western Washington (Ecology 2005).

Wildlife �
The Enviromnental Impact Statement for the NE Aubur��/Robertson Properties Special area plan
and addendum indicate the bald eagle�vas delisted as `threatened' in 2008 and.is nory a federai
`species of concern'.Thereare several species that potentia(ly occur�vithin Kiug County
including: gray�volf(federaliy and state endangered),grizzly bear(federally threatened and state
endangered),Canada lyns(federally and state threatened),marbled murrelet(federaliy and state
threatened),and nortliern spotted oryl(fedei�ally threatened aud state endangered)(USFWS 2007).
Due to their Iimited range and specific habitat requirements,the gray i4olf,grizzly bear,Caaada
lynx;marbled murrelet,and northern spotted owl �vould not be expected to occur�vithin the urbau
areas of King Connty. �
The 2004 EIS also identified several federal species ofconcern that may occur in King County.
The list�yas updated in 2007 to include: tailed frog,Larch Moimtain salamander,and northern
sea otter(USFWS,2007).The project area does not contain suitable habitat to support these
species at this time. The2004 EIS did not include the Oregon spotted frog or yello�v-billed
cuckoo,�vhich are fedeial candidate species.Though given the current range and distribution of
the species and the degraded conditions of on-site wetlands and stream, the likelihood of Oregon
spotted frog occurriug within the city is very lo�v.
Yellow-billed cuckoos breed in large blocks of riparian habitats(pa�ticularly woodlands
containing cottoifivoodsand willo�vs)(Erlilich et al.; 1988). This species may now be extiipated
from Wastiington(66 Federal Register 210).There have been documented sightings ofyello�v-
6illed haokoo in King County and the Green River riperian corridor may provide some limited
foragi�ig and breeding habitat;however,areas of auburn are devoid of mature dense cottoii�yood
stands of significant size to support tlie species and tlieir presence is not anticipated.

The2004 EIS identified the Puget Soupd/Strait of Georgia Colio salmon as a candidate species;
' however their current federal status has lieen do�yn-graded to a species of concern.Other listing
� � clianges tliat have occurred since that time includes tl�e 2007 tisting of the Puget Sound Distinct
Population Segment{DPS)steelhead as threatened under the ESA(72 Federal Register 91),and
the 2005 listing of designated critical habitat for the Puget Sound Evolutionarily Significant Unit.
(ESU)Chinook saltnon and Coastai-Puget Sound DPS 6u(I trout in the Green River(70 Federal
Register 170; 70 Federal Register 185).
Since the 2004 EIS,a Biological Opinion was issued by NMFS that determined tl�e effects of
certain elements of the National Flood insurance Program(NFTP)throughout Puget Sound is
likely to jeopai�dize the continued existence of tlie following species listed under the ESA: Puget
Sound Chinook salmon,Puget Sound steelhead,:Hood Canal summer-rwi chum salmon,aud
Southern Resident killer whales.Tlie Biological Opinion also datermined that NFTP is likely to
adversely modify the Fo(lo�ving ESA designated critical habitats: Puget Sound Cliinook salmon,
Hood Cana(summer-run chum salmon,and Southem Resident killer�vhale critical habitats.The
biological opinion provides a reasonable and prudent alternative whicli can be implemented to
avoid jeopardy and adverse modificarion of criticat habitat. Li response to the Biological Opinion,
FEMA developed a model ordinance far NPIP pa�ticipating communities,wliich includes the
City of Auburn.The City of Auburn incorporated substantive terms of the model ordinance into
tlieir interim floodplain regulations(Ordinance No. 6295). By letter dated September 2l,2011
FEMA acknowledged that the city's ordinance complies with tlteir model ordinance and as a
result,tha interim ordinance becomes pennanent.The Biological Opinion originally established a
2010 timeline for compliance for ell NFIP participating communities within the Puget Sonnd
Basin(NMFS, 2008).

D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR 1VONPROJECT ACTIONS
(Do not use this sheet for project actions.)
Because these quesHons ai�e very gene�nl,it may be helpful to rcad them in conjunetion with the list
of the elemenfs of the environment.
When answering these qnesHons, be aware of the ea�tent of the p�roposal, or the types of activities
likely to result from the p�roposal that would affect tlie item at a greater intensity oi•at n faster rate
ti�an if(he proposal were not implemented. Respond brieftyand in gene�ai terms.
1. How would the proposal be likcly to increase disclia�ge to water; emissions to air; production,
stornge,m•release of toxic o�•Lazardous substances; m�production of noise?
Taken as a�vhole,there should be a minimal change in discharging to�vater,emissions to air,
production,sta�a�e,or release of to�ic or hazardous substances w•the production of noise.
Tlie proposed amendments tliemselves wi11 nat a�eate a change in intensity of discliarge to water,
emissions to air,production, stoixge or release of toxic or hazardous substances or the production of
uoise fi•om t(iose levels expected nnder the existing plan.
Propose�measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
The Ciry of Aiiburn Compi�ehensive Plan contains provisions to reduce increases or emissions caused
by new development. Emphasis in the Comprehensive Plan on reducing the reliance oathe
automobile for transpatation shoidd reduce the amount of emissions to the air. Policies in the
Enviroiiment Ckapter also�rovide guidance in the revie�v of development proposals to encourage use
and retention of native vegetation. This supports wildlife habitat areas,particularly near streatns,as
the policies assist the City in addressing adverse impacts to water quality a�id wildlife ha6itat from
runoff since native plantings can retain and treat runoff and may require less pesticide use. Th8
proposed amendments set the framework wliere prope�ties aud uses ayould in tlie future be in
compliance with expansion,site redevelopment or new development. City policy and code regulates
such impacts through the storm drainage requirements and critical area regulations as applicable.
An environmental revie�v of ell non-exempt(fi•om SEPA)development will be conducted to evaluate
and mitigate impacts��elated to discliarges,einissions, and the release of toxic substances. Evaluation
of the subsequent site-specific proposals will be based on the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and
appropriate mitigation will take p[ace on a case by case basis.
City deve(opment standards including but not limited to the critical areas ordinance,shorelipe master
program regidations, Stormwater Mauagement Manual, and the Public Works Desig�i and
Construction Manual,alsa provide additional protection for t(iese types of impacts.
2. How�vot�ld the proposal be likelyto affect pinnts,animals,fish,a� marine life?
This proposal will amend the Auburn Comprehensive Plan. '['lie plan recognizes the Slioi�eline Master
Program that was an}ended in May 2069 which governs deve(opment witl�in the Shoreline
Management Area,reducing the impacts from new development on plants,animals.The clianges rvill
not change any policy which would have a direct affect on flora,faima,or marine life.
{ �
I'roposeA measures to protect or conserve plants,animals,fish,or marine life arc:
Page 18 of 20
Enviraimental Checklist(contiuued)
TO BE COMPLET�D BY APPLICANT
Generally, tlie adopted Auburn Comprehensive Plan and critical areas ordinance seek to protect and
i conserve plapts,animals,fish,and marine life. An environmental revie�v under SEPA of all non-
exempt development is conducted to measure impacts. Evaluation based on t1�e polioies of the
Auburn Comprehensive Plan and appropriate mitigation�vill take place on a case-by-case basis.
Policies within tlie Environment Chapter also provide guidance in the review of development
proposals to encourage nntive vegetation be used and/or retained. This sliould suppo�t wildlife habitat
areas,particnlai•ly nearstreams as the policies assist the ciry in addressing adverse runoff impacts to
�vater qualiry and�vildlife habitat since native plantings may require less pesticide use.
Ciry development standards including but not limited to tlie critical areas ordinance and the slioreline
master program regulationsalso provide additional p�rotection for these types of impacts.
Tlie proposed map amendments a��e bringing the land use desigi�ations ma•e in line with acti�al
property uses.
3. How would the p�roposal be lilcety to deplete energy or natural resources?
Future development will use natural gas,petroleum and electricity and could result in increased
automobile uses. However,there does not appear to be any significant adverse increases in the use of
energy of natui�al resoui�es resulting from the amendmeuts being proposed to tlie existing
comprel�ensive plan over�vliat might occur under existing plan designations. In fact it is possible that
use of energy or natural resources could decrease depending on the land use.
The city's recent completion of amendment for alternafive powered vehicles and for preparation of a
green house gas inventory establishes a baseline for future energy conservation measures:
Proposed measures to protect or conseive energy and natural resources are:
None specifically,as.this is a non-project action. Ho�vever, in addition to the provisionsof the
Auburn Energy Management Plan(adopted in 1986),which encourages energy conservation in pu6lic
buildings,street lighting, and recycling,the comprehensive plan places an emphasis on providing for
alternative methods of travel to the automobile such as transit,walking,andbiking. An
environmental review underSEPA of all significant development will be conducted to measure the
project impacts.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas
designated(or eligible or under study)for governmental protection;such as parks,wilderness,
wild and scenic rivers,thresttened or end�ngered species habitat,historic or cultural sites,
tivetlands,floodplains,or prime farmlands?
Tliis proposal �vill amend the Comprehensive Plan. Taken as a whole, the increase in unpacts fmm the
proposed compi�eheiisive plan amendments on environmentally sensitive areas ar areas designated for
govenvnent protection sliould be muior,if at atL
Proposed measui�es to Protect such resomres or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
The comprehensive plan and, in particular, the critical areas ordinauce, seek to p�rofect environmentally
sensitive areas (wetlands, streams, geologically hazard areas, floodplain, wildlife habitat, and ayuifer
i�echarge areas) and to reduce the impacts of development on the�n. The Aubtirn Compi�ehensive Plan
Page 19 of20
Environmental Checklist(continued)
TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
provides frn�the implementation of innovative land management tecluiiques to protect these�esources: An
environmental revie�v under SEPAfor all non-e7:empt development�vilt be conducted to evaluate'vnpacts. r i
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and sHoreline use,including whether it would
allow m•encouiage lnnd or shoreline uses incompatible�vith existing plans?
Amendmeuts can only be approved if it can be assured that future development is consistent with the
Compreheqsive Plan and its policies and related regulations. Those proposals that are not consistent
�vith the comprehensive plan policies or other existing plans will not be approved.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shorelineand land use impacts are:
The comprehensive plan, critical areas ordinance, and other development regulatiwis, such as the
zoning ordinance and shoreline master program, seek to protect these land and shoreline resources
and to reduce the effects of development on them. An environmental review under SEPA of all
development that is non-exempt will also be conducted to evaluate a proposaPs land nse and
euvironmental impacts.
6. Ho�v would Nie proposal Ue likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and
utilities?
This proposal will amend portions of the Auburn Comprehensive Plan. The existing plan assumes a
growth target of approximately G,000 households and a job capacity of 1,2Q0 jobs in the King County
portion of the city to the year 2022 (based on city limits as af 2003) tmd to approximately 8,000
people in die Pierce Coimty portion of the city(based on 2002 city limits in Pierce County).
Tfie proposal �yifl not result in an increase in demands on transportation and public services. Rather,
the six-year CFP responds to growth by identiTying the public facilities end improvement needed to
addi�ss future growth. The groMh projections mentioned above �vould occur�vith or�vithout these
amendments.
Proposed measures to redace or respond to such demand(s) are:
As stated above, ve�y little increase in demands to these areas will result from the proposed map
amendments. However,the Auburn Comprehensive Plan presently incorporafes the 2013-201$
Capital Facilities Plan updated,which seeks to maintain t�sufficient level of service for public
services as development occurs. The City of Auburn Six-Year CPP will be updated as part of the
2013 Comprehensive Plan process to balance public faciliry needs against projeoted groMh.(separate
environmental review). An enviromnental review under SEPA for non-exempt development
proposaLs�vill be conducted to measm�e and evaluate impacts.
Also,the city actively engages in pianning for public facilities. Tl�e Comprehensive Water Plau,
Comprehensive Se�ver Plan and Comprehensive Stormwater Drainage P[an were adopted by the city
in 2009. An update to the Comprehensive Transportation Plan�vas adopted in 2012. Chapter 2,"The
8treet System"was updated to reflect a revised capital project list and Chapter 5,"Po.licies"was
updated toreflect��evision in LOS-re(ated policies. These specific plans help ensure that
infrastructure impacts are adequately monitored and evatuated on a project level and city-wide basis.
T. Identify, if possible, �vhether the proposal may conflict witli local, afate, or fcKleral lews or
requirements for tlie protection of the environment.
The pro�osal does not appear to present any conflict witB local,state,or federal Ja�vs or i�equiremeuts. , �

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NON-PROJECT ACTIONS
(Do �ot use this sheet for project actlon)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpfuf to read them in conjunction with the Iist of 3he ,
elements of the environment.
When answering lhase questions, 6e aware of the extent of the proposal, or the types of acdvfties likely to result
from the proposal that would affect the item al a grealer intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were nat
implemented.Respond tirieflyand in general terms.
1. How would the proposal be Ilkely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; praduction,
storage,or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or productlon of nolse?
The proposed Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from single-family residential to Public/Quasf-Public
land use designatfon and the concurrent site specific remne from R-7 and R-5 to I (Instiiukional) more
approprlately recognize tfie ezisting Wesley Homes Lea Hill Senbr Living Facility approved and built in 2004-
2005 and will aflow the applicanl to submit for a Condiiional Use Permit process to build a 36-bed skilled
nursing facility and related ,parking faciliry utliizing the addition of two adjoining parceis owned by Wesley
Homes'Lea Hill; LI:C that,were not induded in the originafdevelopment. There will be no significant increase
in discharge to water, emissions to afr, and no production, storage or release of toxie or hazartlous
substances or production of noise as a resuit of this proposaL
A. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such Increases are:
Na measures are required and none proposed for the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment and.`'
concurrent rezone request. A separate Conditional Use Permit and SEPA will be su6rimitted for'.
proposed 36-bed Skilled Nursing Facfiity.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals,flsh, or mar[ne Iife?
The proposed Comprehensive Pian Map Amendment and concurrent site specific rezone will not affect
plants, animals, fish, or marine life on site orin the Immediate area. The development of,the 36-bed skilled
nursing facilily will require a Conditional Use Permit application and a SEPA checklist lhat will address any
and all impacts of development.
A. Propased measures to protect or conserve plants, animals,fish, or marine Ilfe are:
No measures are requfred and none proposed for the Comprehensive Ptan Map Amendment and the
concurrent rezone request.
3. How wouid the proposat be Iikely to deplete energy or natural resources7 '
The proposal will not deplete energy or natural resources since it is requesting a change ln land use
designation and rezona that will better recognize the existing Wesley Homes Lea Hill Senior Glving Facility
and the proposed 36-bed skilled nursfng faciliry to be processed confingent upon the approval of-the Map
Ameridrtient aod concurren(rezone requests.
A. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
No measures are required and none proposed for the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment and the
concurrent rezone request.
_12_ 76289.002.doc
4. How wouid the proposal be ifkely to use or affect environmentaily sensttive areas or areas designated
(or eligi6le or under study)for governmental protectlon; such as parks,wfldemess,wlid and scen(c
rlvers,tlireatened or endangered specles habitat, historlc or cultural sites,wetlands,floodplains, or
prime farmlands?
No.
A. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are;
None required and none proposed.
5. How would the proposal be Iikelylo affect land and shoreline use, includ(ng whether it would allow or
encourage land or shoreline uses Incompatible with ezisting plans?
There are no such areas located within the exisUng orproposed sites.
A. Proposed measures to avold or reduce shorellne and land use impacts are:
None required and none proposed.
6. How would tha proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public servlces and
utllities7
The proposed Comprehensive Pian Map Amendment and concurrenl rezone will not directly affect any
increased demands on transportation or public services and utilities. 7he addition of the 36-bed skiiled
nursing faciliry will require a separate Condilional Use Permit appllcation and SEPA checklist. ii will also
require an addendum to the approved traffic study that was prepared for the original site development done in
1
200405 that wiil address the addi8on of the newproposed 36-bed skilled nursing addition.
A. Proposed maasures to reduce or respond to such demand(s)are:
The measures will be addressed in the addendum to the original traffic study. We do not anticipate any
significanf impacts to traffic, publicservices orutUities. The current Wesley Homes Lea HfIP 5enior Living
Facility was approved and permitted by adequately addressing these impaots. The small addition will not
increase demand or impacts significantly.
7. Identify, if posslble,whether the proposal may confliet with local,state,or federal laws or
requfrements for the protection of the envlronment.
The proposal is not in conflict with any local, state or federal laws or requirements related to the protection of
the environment to our knowiedge. Both the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment and tha concurrent site
specific remne requests are proposed to better recognize the existence of the Wesley Hames Senior'Living
Facility that is a recognized leader in providing excelient community services to oursenior citizens in the Lea
Hiii and greater Auburn areas.
