An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
Amending Sections 2.03.040 and 2.03.090 of the Auburn City Code
Related to the Organization of City Administrative Government
Discussion Item A was removed from the agenda.
B. Hinshaw Motorcycle Traffic Impact Fees (Para)
Transportation Manager Para provided background information, to the
Committee, regarding the development application submitted by
Hinshaw Motorcycle. Following initial evaluation and based on the
City’s Traffic Impact Fee system, staff calculated an impact fee for the
proposed development, acknowledging the fee was not the most
accurate fit for the developer’s use. Transportation Manager Para
stated that staff encouraged the developer to submit an alternative fee
analysis, which they did. Staff has been working with the developer on
the re-submittal of their application and an analysis that the City can
accept. Transportation Manager Para noted that the developer’s traffic
impact fee will be a fraction of the original estimate.
Transportation Manager Para explained that developments normally
fit into the City’s defined land uses.
Transportation Manager Para stated that not all of the projects in the
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) are factored into the
Traffic Impact Fee Program, only the projects that are capacity related
can be considered for the impact fee system. The capacity related
projects are processed into the City’s impact fee analysis. Para noted
that the City also has a Truck Impact Fee for developments with
higher truck usage.
Traffic Engineer Webb distributed a list of the capacity related projects
identified in the 2013-2018 TIP and 2009 Comprehensive Plan. Webb
also distributed a comparison of 2013 traffic impact fee base rates for
60 cities and 5 counties in Western Washington, for the Committee to
review.
Transportation Manager Para noted that based on the comparison of
impact fees alone, the City’s base rate for traffic impact fees are below
those of the Cities of Fife, Puyallup, Kent, and a number of other cities
Page 2 of 14
CA.A Page 6 of 302
in the Puget Sound area.
Traffic Engineer Webb explained how the traffic impact fees are
calculated. Webb answered questions asked by Chairman Osborne
regarding comparisons of developments in surrounding jurisdictions to
those in the City of Auburn.
The Committee and staff reviewed the TIP project list. Transportation
Manager Para explained how the project costs are considered when
calculating traffic impact fees for developments.
Interim City Engineer Gaub explained how the total project costs, for
the capacity related projects, is used to calculate that traffic impact fee
base rate, in response to questions asked by Chairman Osborne.
The Committee and staff continued to discuss how traffic impact fees
are calculated.
Traffic Engineer Webb answered questions asked by Member
DaCorsi regarding the estimation of the traffic impact fees for the
Hinshaw Motorcycle development.
Vice-Chair Peloza requested staff prepare step-by-step examples of
how traffic impact fees are calculated for the Committee to review.
Chairman Osborne spoke about possibly reviewing the list of capacity
related projects that are used to calculate the base traffic impact fee.
Transportation Manager Para explained how the traffic impact fee
system is the City’s way of meeting the concurrency requirements of
the Growth Management Act and spoke about the importance of
including the full costs of the capacity related transportation projects,
in response to questions asked by Chairman Osborne about phasing
the project costs in the TIP.
Traffic Engineer Webb pointed out that the funds generated from
traffic impact fees are also used to leverage the City’s grant
applications for the local match amounts. If the amount of the traffic
impact fees decreases the City may have difficulty funding match
money and making applications for grants.
Webb noted the M Street Underpass project will be removed from the
list during the 2014 update of the TIP, possibly decreasing the base
traffic impact fee. Interim City Engineer Gaub pointed out that A
Street NW Phase 1 will also be removed from the project list.
Transportation Manager Para answered questions asked by Chairman
Page 3 of 14
CA.A Page 7 of 302
Osborne regarding the Lea Hill Road corridor projects.
Interim City Engineer Gaub explained that the total project costs
creates the overall amount that is used to calculate the base rate for
the traffic impact fees, in response to a question asked by Vice-Chair
Peloza. Gaub stated that the City collects the traffic impact fees and
as the City moves forward with the capacity project, a portion of the
traffic impact fees is allocated to the project.
Mayor Backus suggested that staff create a visual presentation of how
the traffic impact fees are calculated and then how fees are allocated
to City projects, using the M Street Underpass Project as an example
for the Committee to review. Member DaCorsi suggested using a flow-
chart format and Vice-Chair Peloza agreed that would be beneficial.
Transportation Manager Para stated that the traffic impact fees and
project list will need to be reviewed in the next few months as part of
the annual update to the TIP. Chairman Osborne asked that the traffic
impact fee flow-chart/graphics be presented at the same time.
C. Ordinance No. 6484 (Mund)
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
Vacating Right-of-Way of the Alley Between South Division Street and
A Street SE, South of East Main Street, Within the City of Auburn,
Washington
Engineering Aide Mund explained that Ordinance No. 6484 is for the
vacation of the alley at the location noted on the accompanying
vicinity map. The Public-Hearing will be held at the January 6th City
Council Meeting. Engineering Aide Mund asked if the Committee had
any questions prior to the hearing.
Vice-Chair Peloza asked how the vacation will benefit the developer,
Plan A Development. Mund answered that the developer did apply for
the vacation and it will provide flexibility to the design of their building
relating to access for vehicles and service vehicles.
Chairman Osborne asked that Brett Jacobson, from Landmark
Development Group/Plan A Development, come to the table and
speak. Mr. Jacobson explained that the purpose of the vacation is to
create a contiguous development and ownership structure. Mr.
Jacobson also noted that some parking will occur across the alleyway
and the developer plans on building a walkway across the alley to the
building.
Member DaCorsi asked how the owners of the adjacent property were
notified of the vacation application and hearing. Engineering Aide
Mund answered that the property owners received notice of the public
Page 4 of 14
CA.A Page 8 of 302
hearing and that she has been in communication with the property
owner regarding the project as well.
Chairman Osborne noted that all of the easements will be
maintained.
The Committee had no further questions.
D. 2014 Arterial/Collector Preservation Project - Street Selection (Carter)
Street Systems Engineer Carter confirmed that the portions of E Main
Street scheduled for patching are different than the areas that were
patched a few years ago, following a question asked by Chairman
Osborne.
Member DaCorsi asked which portion of A Street will be
overlaid. Interim City Engineer explained that A Street has been
patched in the past and now staff is recommending that the roadway
be treated with an overlay.
Street Systems Engineer Carter spoke about different pavement
treatments.
Interim City Engineer Gaub clarified that the City did not purchase
equipment to test the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of the City’s
streets. The City has a contract with a vendor that is evaluating the
streets. Carter noted that the City did purchase the pavement
management software. The vendor has completed their work and
should be reporting their results to staff by January 17th.
Vice-Chair Peloza asked if any of the work on the proposed roadways
could be postponed so that patching of Green River Road can be
included in the 2014 project. Street Systems Engineer Carter
explained that the reason the proposed roadways were selected was
because there is a lot more traffic traveling on the proposed roads
than Green River Road. Vice-Chair Peloza asked staff for traffic count
data on Green River Road and on the roads selected for the project.
Following a question asked by Chairman Osborne, Street Systems
Engineer Carter said that the Auburn High School project is scheduled
to be completed in 2015 and once the civil work on the site is
completed, the overlays on E Main Street will begin. Carter stated that
the City’s patching and overlay of that section of E Main Street will be
scheduled at the same time as the overlay being done by the school
district. Interim City Engineer Gaub stated that there is a portion of 4th
Street and Main Street that the school district will be completing
improvements to.

CA.A Page 9 of 302
E. City Speed Cushion Standard Practices (Para)
Transportation Manager Para stated that there is a Traffic Calming
Program in the City included in the program, as a measure of last
resort is the installation of speed cushions. Speed cushions were
engineered by City staff and have been used for quite some time and
have been received very well. The speed cushions were designed in
coordination with the Valley Regional Fire Authority, so an not to
impede their response vehicles.
The Committee and staff reviewed the current speed cushion design
standards.
Chairman Osborne explained that his primary concern regarding the
speed cushion design is that there is a 3” lift over 12” and
recommended in the ITE manual is a 3” lift over 4’. The concern is
that the lift of the speed cushion is too high.
Chairman Osborn asked when the speed cushion design was
developed. Para answered, approximately ten or more years
ago. Transportation Manager Para said that other designs do have a
slightly larger approach ramp.
Chairman Osborn asked that staff review the current design, using the
ITE manual as a guide.
The Committee and staff discussed the possible reduction in
effectiveness if the approach ramp was made larger.
Interim City Engineer Gaub spoke about the coordination with the
emergency services during the development of the speed cushions
initial design standards.
Vice-Chair Peloza stated that he supports a review of the design
standards.
Staff will review the current design standards for speed cushions and
proposals for a possible redesign and return to the Committee for
review at the February 3, 2014 meeting.
F. Capital Project Status Report (Vondrak)
Senior Project Engineer Vondrak stated that each of the Project

Project. There were three mitigation sites. One site has been released
from regulatory agencies and the City has requested release for a
second site in December 2013. The City has requested a one-year
extension for the third site because it has not yet met its performance
goals.
Chairman Osborne asked if the City will be required to perform
wetland mitigation monitoring as part of the new S 277th project.
Interim City Engineer Gaub stated that there are potential wetland
impacts and if the wetlands are impacted, the City may have to do
some mitigation. The City of Kent has agreed that any mitigation
credits they have remaining from their S 277th improvements can be
transferred to the City of Auburn. It is not known how many credits
that may be at this time.

completing the punchlist items.
Project Engineer Wickstrom responded to questions asked by Vice-
Chair Peloza regarding the replacement of the waterline on B Street
SE.
Project Engineer Lee
Project Engineer Lee distributed vicinity maps for the project that
include multiple site locations.
Item 7 – C524A – SCADA System Improvements: This project
replaces the remote controls at the utility stations and the project is
approximately 93% complete. There are four sites waiting to be
converted which were added to the scope of the project via Change

following a question asked by Vice-Chair Peloza.
Senior Project Engineer Sweeting
Item 16 – CP1118 – Auburn Way South Pedestrian Improvements –
Dogwood to Fir Street & Item 17 – CP1119 – Fir to Hemlock
Street: The City is working with the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT) to
expand the corridor, improve pedestrian safety and reduce
congestion.
The main focus of Project No. CP1118 is to construct a pedestrian
crossing. The current design is for a crossing at Elm Street but staff is
currently working with the State and MIT to look at other locations for
the crossing, which may include a new signal at Fir Street SE.
Vice-Chair Peloza asked if staff was receiving full support from the
MIT. Senior Project Engineer Sweeting answered that the MIT staff
has been very helpful and has scheduled a meeting for the City to
meet with the Tribal Council and the State Transportation Secretary
later in the week.
Project No. CP1119 will widen the street to five lanes with sidewalks
and will also construct a signal at Hemlock Street SE. The current
plan is to construction CP1118 and CP1119 concurrently. Staff is
working on getting approval from the State and MIT on the final
design.
Chairman Osborne asked if both projects are fully funded. Sweeting
answered that they are.
Item 20 – CP1024 – AWS and M Street SE Intersection
Improvements: This project will add a right turn lane west bound on
Auburn Way S toward M Street SE. Also included are other safety
improvements. The design is 70-90% complete and staff’s main focus
Page 12 of 14

has recently been on property acquisition. The project should go into
construction in 2014.
Item 23 – CP1304 – 37th St & B St NW BNSF Pre-Signal: A pre-
signal will be constructed that will stop vehicles prior to the tracks to
prevent them from becoming stranded on the tracks as the crossing
arms come down. This will prevent damage to the crossing arms. Staff
is working with BNSF on adjustment to advanced preemption of
trains.
Item 28 – CP1218 – Auburn Way S & Riverwalk Intersection
Improvements: This project will widen the road to provide a second
left turn lane into the MIT casino when heading east bound on Auburn
Way S. There will also be another turn lane added to Riverwalk. The
sidewalks will be widened and other safety improvements will be
made as well.
Senior Project Engineer Sweeting answered questions asked by
Chairman Osborne regarding the project’s funding.
Interim City Engineer Gaub answered questions asked by Member
DaCorsi regarding the project start dates and possibility of including
them on the Capital Project Status Report.
Interim City Engineer Gaub responded to questions asked by Member
DaCorsi about the process used to ensure contractors complete
projects on schedule.
Member DaCorsi asked if the consultant and contractor can be
identified on the report. Interim City Engineer Gaub stated that

Background Summary:
Resolution No. 5013 sets the date of the public hearing for Franchise Agreement No.
13-37 for T-Mobile West LLC for February 3, 2014 at 7:30 pm in the Council
Chambers.
Franchise Agreement No. 13-37, Draft Ordinance No. 6491 is attached as back up
documentation for Resolution No. 5013. Per Auburn City Code Chapter 20.06.010, a
franchise shall be required of any commercial utility or telecommunications operator or
carrier or other person who desires to occupy public ways of the city and to provide
telecommunications or commercial utility services to any person or area in the city.
T-Mobile West LLC has applied for a Franchise Agreement for wireless
telecommunications facilities that are currently in the City’s rights of way on the west
hill. These facilities were originally installed under a Right of Way Use Agreement with
King County prior to the area being annexed into the City. This agreement will bring T-
Mobile into compliance with City Code and allow them to obtain construction permits so
that they can make repairs, upgrades and improvements to existing facilities. All
construction permits would be reviewed, approved and managed through the City’s
permitting processes that are a requirement of the Franchise Agreement. At this time T-
Mobile does not intend to install any new facility sites in Auburn. Any new sites would
require a review through City processes and an amendment to the franchise agreement.

Section 6. Construction and Maintenance
A. The Grantee shall apply for, obtain, and comply with the terms of all
permits required under ACC Chapter 12.24 for any work done upon Grantee
Facilities. Grantee shall comply with all applicable City, State, and Federal
codes, rules, regulations, and orders in undertaking such work, which shall be
done in a thorough and proficient manner.
B. Grantee agrees to coordinate its activities with the City and all other
utilities located within the public right-of-way within which Grantee is undertaking
its activity.
C. The City expressly reserves the right to prescribe how and where
Grantee Facilities shall be installed within the public right-of-way and may from
time to time, pursuant to the applicable sections of this Franchise, require the
removal, relocation and/or replacement thereof in the public interest and safety in
compliance with applicable law.
D. Before commencing any work involving excavation within the public
right-of-way, the Grantee shall comply with the One Number Locator provisions
of RCW Chapter 19.122 to identify existing utility infrastructure.
E. Tree Trimming. Upon prior written approval of the City and in
accordance with City ordinances, Grantee shall have the authority to reasonably
trim trees upon and overhanging streets, public rights-of-way, and places in the
Franchise Area so as to prevent the branches of such trees from coming in
physical contact with the Grantee Facilities. Grantee shall be responsible for
debris removal from such activities. If such debris is not removed within twenty-
four (24) hours of completion of the trimming, the City may, at its sole discretion,
remove such debris and charge Grantee for the cost thereof. This section does
not, in any instance, grant automatic authority to clear vegetation for purposes of
providing a clear path for radio signals. Any such general vegetation clearing will
require an additional and separate approval from the City.
Section 7. Access, Repair and Emergency Work
In the event of an emergency, the Grantee may commence such repair
and emergency response work as required under the circumstances, provided
that the Grantee shall notify the City telephonically during normal business hours
(at 253-931-3010 and during non-business hours at 253-876-1985) as promptly
as possible, before such repair or emergency work commences, and in writing as
soon thereafter as possible. Such notification shall include the Grantee’s
emergency contact phone number for the corresponding response activity. For
RES.A Page 41 of 302
------------------------------
Ordinance No. 6491
Franchise Agreement No. 13-37
September 24, 2013
Page 6 of 15
any emergency or after normal business hour issues involving the Grantee’s
facilities which requires the Grantee’s immediate response the City shall contact
the Grantee at their network operations center telephonically at 888-662-4662,
which is operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The City may commence
emergency response work, at any time, without prior written notice to the
Grantee, but shall notify the Grantee in writing as promptly as possible under the
circumstances of the nature of the emergency and the actions taken to address
it.
Section 8. Damages to City and Third-Party Property
Grantee agrees that if any of its actions under this Franchise impairs or
damages any City property, survey monument, or property owned by a third-
party, Grantee will restore, at its own cost and expense, said property to a safe
condition. Such repair work shall be performed and completed pursuant to City
Code..
Section 9. Location Preference and Interference
A. Any structure, equipment, appurtenance or tangible property of a
utility, other than the Grantee’s, which was installed, constructed, completed or in
place prior in time to Grantee’s application for a permit to construct or repair
Grantee Facilities under this Franchise shall have preference as to positioning
and location with respect to the Grantee Facilities. However, to the extent that
the Grantee Facilities are completed and installed prior to another utility’s
submittal of a permit for new or additional structures, equipment, appurtenances
or tangible property, then the Grantee Facilities shall have such priority. These
rules governing preference shall continue in the event of the necessity of
relocating or changing the grade of any City road or right-of-way. A relocating
utility shall not necessitate the relocation of another utility that otherwise would
not require relocation. This Section shall not apply to any City facilities or utilities
that may in the future require the relocation of Grantee Facilities. Such
relocations shall be governed by Section 11.
B. Grantee shall maintain a minimum underground horizontal
separation of five (5) feet from City water facilities and ten (10) feet from above-
ground City water facilities; provided, that for development of new areas, the City,
in consultation with Grantee and other utility purveyors or authorized users of the
Public Way, will develop guidelines and procedures for determining specific utility
locations.
Section 10. Grantee Information
A. Grantee agrees to supply, at no cost to the City, any information
reasonably requested by the City to coordinate municipal functions with
RES.A Page 42 of 302
------------------------------
Ordinance No. 6491
Franchise Agreement No. 13-37
September 24, 2013
Page 7 of 15
Grantee’s activities and fulfill any municipal obligations under state law. Said
information shall include, at a minimum, as-built drawings of Grantee Facilities,
installation inventory, and maps and plans showing the location of existing or
planned facilities within the Rights-of-Way. Said information may be requested
either in hard copy or electronic format, compatible with the City’s data base
system, as now or hereinafter existing, including the City’s geographic
information Service (GIS) data base. Grantee shall keep the City informed of its
long-range plans for coordination with the City’s long-range plans.
B. The parties understand that Washington law limits the ability of the
City to shield from public disclosure any information given to the City.
Accordingly, the City agrees to notify the Grantee of requests for public records
related to the Grantee, and to give the Grantee a reasonable amount of time to
obtain an injunction to prohibit the City’s release of records.
C. Grantee shall indemnify and hold harmless the City for any loss or
liability for fines, penalties, and costs (including attorneys fees) imposed on the
City because of non-disclosures requested by Grantee under Washington’s open
public records act, provided the City has notified Grantee of the pending request
and has given Grantee ten working days to obtain an injunction to prohibit the
City’s release of records.
Section 11. Relocation of Grantee Facilities
A. Except as otherwise so required by law, Grantee agrees to
relocate, remove, or reroute its facilities as ordered by the City Engineer at no
expense or liability to the City, except as may be required by RCW Chapter 35.99
in the event the Franchise Area is required for use by the City in performance of
its municipal services. In such event, City will give Grantee prior written notice of
the need for such relocation of the Franchise Area. Notwithstanding the foregoing
however, and pursuant to the provisions of Section 14, Grantee agrees to protect
and save harmless the City from any customer or third-party claims for service
interruption or other similar losses in connection with any such change,
relocation, abandonment, or vacation of the right-of-way(s).
B. If a readjustment or relocation of the Grantee Facilities is
necessitated by a request from a party other than the City, that party shall pay
the Grantee the actual costs thereof.
Section 12. Abandonment and or Removal of Grantee Facilities
A. Within one hundred and eighty days (180) of Grantee’s permanent
cessation of use of the Grantee Facilities, or any portion thereof, the Grantee
shall, at the City’s discretion, remove the affected facilities, or, with the City’s
RES.A Page 43 of 302
------------------------------
Ordinance No. 6491
Franchise Agreement No. 13-37
September 24, 2013
Page 8 of 15
written permission, abandon in place such facilities whereupon they will transfer
to the City in their AS IS and WHERE IS condition without need of execution of
any further documentation formalizing the transfer, and without representation or
warranty of any kind or nature provided the Grantee shall provide to the City
drawings, maps or other documentation about said facilities to the reasonable
satisfaction of the City. Following such transfer, Grantee shall no longer be
responsible for any liability, maintenance, repair or removal obligations related to
or arising from the transferred facilities.
B. The parties expressly agree that this Section shall survive the
expiration, revocation or termination of this Franchise.
Section 13. Undergrounding
A. The parties agree that this Franchise does not limit the City’s
authority under federal law, state law, or local ordinance, to require the
undergrounding of utilities that can be installed underground.
B. Whenever the City requires the undergrounding of aerial utilities in
the Franchise Area, the Grantee shall underground those portions of Grantee
Facilities that can be installed underground in the manner specified by the City
Engineer at no expense or liability to the City, except as may be required by
RCW Chapter 35.99 or other applicable law. Where other utilities are present
and involved in the undergrounding project, Grantee shall only be required to pay
its fair share of common costs borne by all utilities it utilizes, in addition to the
costs specifically attributable to the undergrounding of Grantee Facilities.
Common costs shall include necessary costs for common trenching and utility
vaults. Fair share shall be determined in comparison to the total number and
size of all other utility facilities being undergrounded and the use thereof by all
applicable parties
Section 14. Indemnification and Hold Harmless
A. The Grantee shall defend, indemnify, and hold the City and its
officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers harmless from any and all
costs, claims, injuries, damages, losses, suits, or liabilities of any nature including
attorneys’ fees to the extent caused by Grantee’s performance under this
Franchise, except to the extent such costs, claims, injuries, damages, losses,
suits, or liabilities are caused by the negligence of the City, its agents,
contractors, employees or invitees. Should a court of competent jurisdiction
determine that this Agreement is subject to RCW 4.24.115, then, in the event of
liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or damages to property
caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of the Grantee and the
RES.A Page 44 of 302
------------------------------
Ordinance No. 6491
Franchise Agreement No. 13-37
September 24, 2013
Page 9 of 15
City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers, the Grantee’s liability
hereunder shall be only to the extent of the Grantee's negligence.
B. The Grantee shall hold the City harmless from any liability for any
damage or loss to the Grantee Facilities caused by maintenance and/or
construction work performed by, or on behalf of, the City within the Franchise
Area or any other City road, right-of-way, or other property, except to the extent
any such damage or loss is directly caused by the negligence or intentional
misconduct of the City, its agents, contractors, employees or invitees performing
such work.
C. The Grantee acknowledges that neither the City nor any other
public agency with responsibility for firefighting, emergency rescue, public safety
or similar duties within the City has the capability to provide trench, close trench
or confined space rescue. The Grantee, and its agents, assigns, successors, or
contractors, shall make such arrangements as Grantee deems fit for the
provision of such services. The Grantee shall hold the City harmless from any
liability arising out of or in connection with any damage or loss to the Grantee for
the City’s failure or inability to provide such services, and, pursuant to the terms
of Section 14(A), the Grantee shall indemnify the City against any and all third-
party costs, claims, injuries, damages, losses, suits, or liabilities based on the
City’s failure or inability to provide such services.
D. Acceptance by the City of any work performed by the Grantee shall
not be grounds for avoidance of this section.
E. It is further specifically and expressly understood that the
indemnification provided herein constitutes the Grantee’s waiver of immunity
under Industrial Insurance, Title 51 RCW , solely for the purposes of this
indemnification. This waiver has been mutually negotiated by the parties. The
provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination of this
agreement with respect to acts or events occurring prior thereto.
Section 15. Insurance
A. The Grantee shall procure and maintain for the duration of this
Franchise, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property
which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work
hereunder by the Grantee, its agents, representatives, or employees in the
amounts and types set forth below:
1. Automobile Liability insurance covering all owned, non-
owned, hired, and leased vehicles with a minimum combined single limit for
RES.A Page 45 of 302

Page 10 of 15
bodily injury and property damage of $1,000,000 per accident. Coverage shall
be written on Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CA 00 01 or a substitute form
providing equivalent liability coverage. If necessary, the policy shall be endorsed
to provide contractual liability coverage.
2. Commercial General Liability insurance with limits no less
than $1,000,000 each occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate and a
$1,000,000 products-completed operations aggregate limit. Coverage shall be
written on ISO occurrence form CG 00 01 and shall cover liability arising from
premises, operations, independent contractors, products-completed operations,
stop gap liability, and personal injury liability assumed under an insured contract.
The Commercial General Liability insurance shall be endorsed to provide the
Aggregate Per Project Endorsement ISO form CG 25 03 11 85. There shall be
no endorsement or modification of the Commercial General Liability insurance for
liability arising from explosion, collapse, or underground property damage. The
City shall be named as an additional insured under the Grantee’s Commercial
General Liability insurance policy with respect to the work performed under this
Franchise using ISO Additional Insured Endorsement CG 20 10 10 01 and
Additional Insured-Completed Operations endorsement CG 20 37 10 01 or

Industrial Insurance laws of the State of Washington.
B. The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain,
the following provisions for Automobile Liability, Professional Liability, and
Commercial General Liability insurance:
1. The Grantee’s insurance coverage shall be primary
insurance with respect to claims alleging Grantee’s negligence. Any insurance,
self-insurance, or insurance pool coverage maintained by the City shall be in
excess of the Grantee’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.
2. The Grantee’s insurance shall be endorsed to state that
coverage shall not be cancelled by either party except after thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the

Ordinance No. 6491
Franchise Agreement No. 13-37
September 24, 2013
Page 11 of 15
D. Verification of Coverage. Grantee shall furnish the City with
documentation of insurer’s A.M. Best rating and with original certificates and a
copy of amendatory endorsements, including but not necessarily limited to the
additional insured endorsement, evidencing the insurance requirements of the
Consultant before commencement of the work.
E. Grantee shall have the right to self-insure any or all of the above-
required insurance. Any such self insurance is subject to approval by the City.
F. Grantee’s maintenance of insurance as required by this Franchise
shall not be construed to limit the liability of Grantee to the coverage provided by
such insurance, or otherwise limit the City’s recourse to any remedy to which the
City is otherwise entitled at law or in equity.
Section 16. Performance Security
The Grantee shall provide the City with a bond, or other financial guarantee in a
form and substance reasonably acceptable to the City, in the amount of Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000) running for, or renewable for, the term of this
Franchise. In the event Grantee shall fail to substantially comply with any one or
more of the provisions of this agreement within the applicable cure or grace
period, then there shall be recovered jointly and severally from the principal and
any surety of such financial guarantee any damages suffered by City as a direct
result thereof, including but not limited to staff time, material and equipment
costs, compensation or indemnification of third parties, and the cost of removal or
abandonment of facilities hereinabove described. Grantee specifically agrees
that its failure to comply with the terms of Section 19 shall constitute damage to
the City in the monetary amount set forth therein. Such a financial guarantee
shall not be construed to limit the Grantee’s liability to the guarantee amount, or
otherwise limit the City’s recourse to any remedy to which the City is otherwise
entitled at law or in equity.
Section 17. Successors and Assignees
A. All the provisions, conditions, regulations and requirements herein
contained shall be binding upon the successors, assigns of, and independent
contractors of the Grantee, and all rights and privileges, as well as all obligations
and liabilities of the Grantee shall inure to its successors, assignees and
contractors equally as if they were specifically mentioned herein wherever the
Grantee is mentioned.
B. This Franchise shall not be leased, assigned or otherwise alienated
without the express prior consent of the City by ordinance. The foregoing
RES.A Page 47 of 302
------------------------------
Ordinance No. 6491
Franchise Agreement No. 13-37
September 24, 2013
Page 12 of 15
notwithstanding, Grantee may assign this Franchise in whole or in part without
the need for the City’s consent to any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is
under common control with Grantee, or to any entity resulting from any merger or
consolidation with Grantee, or to any partner of Grantee or to any partnership in
which Grantee is a general partner, or to any person or entity that acquires all of
the assets of Tenant as a going concern.
C. For any assignment requiring City consent, Grantee and any
proposed assignee or transferee shall provide and certify the following to the City
not less than sixty (60) days after the proposed date of transfer: (a) Complete
information setting forth the nature, term and conditions of the proposed
assignment or transfer (redacted for any financial terms); (b) All information
reasonably required by the City of an applicant for a Franchise with respect to the
proposed assignee or transferee; and, (c) An application fee which shall be set
by the City, plus any other costs actually and reasonably incurred by the City in
processing, and investigating the proposed assignment or transfer.
D. Prior to the City’s consideration of a request by Grantee to consent
to a Franchise assignment or transfer, the proposed Assignee or Transferee shall
file with the City a written promise to unconditionally accept all terms of the
Franchise, effective upon such transfer or assignment of the Franchise. The City
is under no obligation to undertake any investigation of the transferor’s state of
compliance and failure of the City to insist on full compliance prior to transfer
does not waive any right to insist on full compliance thereafter.
E. Upon assignment, Grantee shall be relieved of all liabilities and
obligations hereunder accruing thereafter and City shall look solely to the
assignee for performance under this agreement and all such obligations accruing
thereafter hereunder provided such assignee accepts all such obligations in
writing within thirty (30) days of the date of assignment and is of substantially
similar financial strength or credit worthiness as Grantee.
Section 18. Dispute Resolution
A. In the event of a dispute between the City and the Grantee arising
by reason of this Agreement, the dispute shall first be referred to the operational
officers or representatives designated by Grantor and Grantee to have oversight
over the administration of this Agreement. The officers or representatives shall
meet within thirty (30) calendar days of either party's request for a meeting,
whichever request is first, and the parties shall make a good faith effort to
achieve a resolution of the dispute.
B. If the parties fail to achieve a resolution of the dispute in this
manner, either party may then pursue any available judicial remedies. This

Ordinance No. 6491
Franchise Agreement No. 13-37
September 24, 2013
Page 13 of 15
Franchise shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Washington. In the event any suit, arbitration, or other proceeding is
instituted to enforce any term of this Agreement, the parties specifically
understand and agree that venue shall be exclusively in King County,
Washington. The prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to its
attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, which shall be fixed by the judge hearing the
case, and such fees shall be included in the judgment.
Section 19. Enforcement and Remedies
A. If the Grantee shall willfully violate, or fail to comply with any of the
provisions of this Franchise through willful or unreasonable negligence, or should
it fail to heed or comply with any notice given to Grantee under the provisions of
this agreement, the City may, at its discretion, provide Grantee with written notice
to cure the breach within thirty (30) days of notification. If the City determines the
breach cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, the City may specify a longer cure
period, and condition the extension of time on Grantee’s submittal of a plan to
cure the breach within the specified period, commencement of work within the
original thirty day cure period, and diligent prosecution of the work to completion.
If the breach is not cured within the specified time, or the Grantee does not
comply with the specified conditions, the City may, at its discretion, either (1)
revoke the Franchise with no further notification, or (2) claim damages of Two
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) per day against the financial guarantee set forth
in Section 16 for every day after the expiration of the cure period that the breach
is not cured.
B. Should the City determine that Grantee is acting beyond the scope
of permission granted herein for Grantee Facilities and Grantee Services, the
City reserves the right to cancel this Franchise and/or require the Grantee to
apply for, obtain, and comply with all applicable City permits, franchises, or other
City permissions for such actions, and if the Grantee’s actions are not allowed
under applicable federal and state or City laws, to compel Grantee to cease such
actions.
Section 20. Compliance with Laws and Regulations
A. This Franchise is subject to, and the Grantee shall comply with all
applicable federal and state or City laws, regulations and policies (including all
applicable elements of the City's comprehensive plan), in conformance with
federal laws and regulations, affecting performance under this Franchise.
Furthermore, notwithstanding any other terms of this agreement appearing to the
contrary, the Grantee shall be subject to the police power of the City to adopt and
enforce general ordinances necessary to protect the safety and welfare of the

enacted pursuant to such federal or state statute or regulation upon providing
Grantee with thirty (30) days written notice of its action setting forth the full text of

either party be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, punitive, reliance,

Background Summary:
MCI Communications, Services, Inc. (MCI), has applied for a renewal of term for Public
Way Agreement No 08-03 which was authorized by Resolution No. 4338 and amended
by Resolution No. 4797 (please see attached documents) for facilities currently in the
City’s right-of-way which has recently expired.
The Public Way Agreement (PWA) was reviewed by City staff and the applicant and it
was determined that the agreement still meets the needs of the City and the applicant
with only a minor amendment to update the term of the agreement for one additional five
year term. Resolution No. 5018 amends the current agreement, PWA 08-03, to reflect
these changes and authorizes MCI’s fiber optic conduit to remain in the right-of-way per
the conditions set forth in Amendment No. 2 (PWA 08-03A2) upon filing with the City
Clerk a Statement of Acceptance which is marked “Exhibit A”.

Administrative Recommendation:
Public Works Committee recommend that City Council adopt Resolution No. 5027.
Background Summary:
Resolution No. 5027 authorizes the Mayor to execute an amendment to the sewer
franchise agreement between the City of Auburn and King County to operate, maintain,
and construct sewer mains, service lines, and appurtenances in, over, along and under
County roads.
Several areas within the City of Auburn’s sewer service area lie within unincorporated
King County. In order to own and maintain sewer lines in the County roads serving those
areas, the City must have a franchise agreement with King County. The existing
agreement was signed in 2002, and reflected the then current status of the City’s sewer
service area and the unincorporated areas contained therein.
As part of the 2009 Comprehensive Sewer Plan, the City of Auburn added an additional
area, which lies in unincorporated King County, to its sewer service area. Following the
approval of the Comprehensive Sewer Plan, the City sought to amend the existing
franchise agreement to include that area. As part of that process, the City also updated
the legal description of the remaining unincorporated areas to reflect annexations that
had occurred since the previous agreement. Additional maps will be provided as read
ahead for clarity.
This amendment only updates the boundaries within which the agreement is
affected. All the other terms of the agreement remain the same as they were.

Administrative Recommendation:

Background Summary:
Resolution No. 5038 repeals Resolution No. 4826.
In 2012, the City Council passed Resolution No. 4826 for the purpose of reducing speed
limits on certain arterial routes within the City in an effort to preserve City streets and
provide for traffic safety. Staff recommends repealing Resolution No. 4826 as the
reduction in speed limits did not accomplish the level of street preservation desired or
significantly add to traffic safety and the Council goals can be better met through
alternatives including conventional engineering strategies.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

RESOLUTION NO. 4826 REGARDING REDUCTION
OF SPEEDS ON ARTERIAL STREET ROUTES IN
THE CITY
WHEREAS, the City of Auburn has been involved in numerous efforts to
preserve its streets and provide for safe travel along them; and
WHEREAS, among the factors that impact street surfaces and contribute
to the safe use of streets are speed limits; and
WHEREAS, the City Council endeavored to employ a program of reducing
speed limits on certain arterial street routes within the City, in an effort to
preserve City streets and provide for traffic safety, and did so through Resolution
No. 4826, passed by the City Council on June 4, 2012; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that the effect of reducing speed
limits along certain arterial streets within the City did not accomplish the level of
street preservation desired, nor did it significantly add to traffic safety; and
WHEREAS, it is therefore appropriate to endeavor to reach these goals
through other alternatives including conventional engineering strategies.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN,
HEREBY RESOLVES as follows:
Section 1. That Resolution No. 4826, adopted on June 4, 2012, is

November 2013 Financial Report
Budget Impact:
$0
Administrative Recommendation:
For discussion only.
Background Summary:
The purpose of the monthly financial report is to summarize for the City Council the
general state of Citywide financial affairs 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 November status report is based on financial data available as of December 17,
2013 for the period ending November 30, 2013. Sales tax information represents
business activity that occurred in September 2013.
General Fund:
The General Fund is the City’s largest fund and is used to account for the majority of
City resources and services except those required by statute or to be accounted for in
another fund.
Through November 2013, General Fund revenues totaled $50.9 million and were
sufficient to support total General Fund expenditures of $48.3 million.
Overall, General Fund revenues exceed budget by $2.1 million, and exceeded
collections for the same period last year by $1.2 million. The increase in revenues is due
to several factors, primarily changes to the property tax revenue distribution noted as
follows: 1) 100% of the property tax revenue is receipting into the General Fund which
provides a $2 M increase in this revenue to this fund; and 2) The City was limited in the
2013 levy and levied $500k less than the previous year. The net is an approximate
increase of $1.5 M to the General Fund. Per the 2013-2014 budget, Local Street Fund
street repairs are funded from sales taxes on construction; previously these repairs were
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.A Page 136 of 302
funded with property taxes. Other significant factors contributing to the improvement in
General Fund revenues over the previous year include City utility taxes (up $503,000)
and building permit revenues (up $427,000). Total building permit revenues collected
through November totals $2.0 million and compares to budget of $1.8 million.
Year to date building permits issued through November totaled 839, and compares to
840 during the same period last year. In the downtown core, ground-breaking started in
December for the Trek building located across the street from the City Hall Annex
building. This will be a six story mixed use building with retail shopping and residential
living.
General Fund expenditures totaled $48.3 million and compares to $48.0 million for the
same period last year, and year to date budget of $51.3 million.
During the month of November, 368 pet licenses were sold (as compared to 603 in
2012) resulting in $10,425 in revenue. Year-to-date, 4,696 licenses have been sold
(compared to 6,267 in 2012) bringing in a total of $143,275.
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 November, the Water fund’s net operating income decreased to $716,600
(as compared to income of $1,105,100 in the previous year) reflecting purchased water
payments to Tacoma Public Utilities. The Sewer fund ended with a $544,500 operating
loss (compared to an operating loss of $1,024,700 the previous year, excluding Metro);
the Sewer-Metro Utility ended the period with operating income of $166,100; and the
Stormwater Utility ended with operating income of $925,300 (as compared to an
operating loss of $393,000 the previous year).
The Golf Course ended the period with an operating loss of $216,300 compared to an
operating loss of $271,700 for the same period last year and reflects an improvement in
the year-to-date rounds played at the Golf Course (46,461 compared to 44,832 for the
same period last year). The number of rounds played in November improved as a result
of drier weather conditions (3.8 inches of rain as compared to 8.28 inches the previous
year). The Cemetery ended November with net operating income of $50,700 compared
to an operating loss of $125,100 for the previous year, reflecting an increase in
operating revenue and a decrease in salaries/benefits expenditures.
Internal Service Funds:
Internal Service Funds provide services to other City departments and include functions
such as Insurance, Facilities, Innovation and Technology, and Equipment Rental. All
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.A Page 137 of 302
funds have sufficient revenues to cover year-to-date expenditures.
Investment Portfolio:
The City’s total cash and investments at the end of November was $111.3 million and
are comparable to the month prior.

Monthly Financial Report November 2013
Overview
This financial overview reflects the City’s overall financial position for the fiscal period ending
November 30, 2013 and represents financial data available as of December 17, 2013. The
budgeted year to date revenues and operating expenditures are primarily based on
collection/disbursement average for the same period of the two years prior.
General Fund revenues totals $50.9 million as of the end of November 2013 and compares to
previous year to date collections of $49.7 million and budget of $48.8 million. Year to date
improvement in General Fund revenue performance is primarily due to continued strength in
sales tax revenues, increased City utility tax revenues, and increased revenues from development
activity.
General Fund expenditures totals $48.3 million as of the end of November 2013 and compares
to previous year to date expenditures of $48.0 million and budget of $51.3 million. Department
spending is within budget and expectations, with the majority of under-expenditures due to
timing of expenditures and salary savings from current and earlier vacancies.

As shown on the prior page, the areas showing the largest amount of increase in revenues
compared to 2012 are in the construction trade and the retail trade categories. These changes
reflect the increased level of construction activity within the City as well as improvement in
general economic conditions and consumer spending. In general, consumer spending accounts
for approximately two-thirds of economic activity.
Year to date sales tax revenue on construction, which is transferred to the Local Street Fund
(Fund 103) for local street repair and maintenance, totals $1,719,000 and exceeds budget by
$404,000, reflecting increased commercial and residential construction activity throughout the

As shown in the table below, increased collections from City interfund utilities partially offset
lower than expected collections from private utility providers. A mild winter has reduced
consumer heating demands and resulted in a decline in electric and natural gas revenue
collections. Earlier this year, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission approved
a rate decrease for natural gas - which reduced the residential rates by approximately 7% and
commercial rates by approximately 10%. This rate decrease was a result of an abundant
domestic supply of natural gas. Telephone utility tax revenues are under budget by $205,000
year to date, reflecting the rapid change in this industry as more individuals move from
traditional land lines to cellular and internet-based phone services.

fees and cultural & recreation fees. Development service fees and culture and recreation fees
make up over 85% of the revenue within this category. Development service fee collections

date. Plan check fees collected in November totaled $78,000 and included projects at Boeing,

2012.
Culture and recreation revenues are $66,000 higher than budget; reflecting increased activity
from recreational classes and City special events. The year over year decline in Public Safety
charges reflect the elimination of Adult Probation revenue (these revenues are retained by King
County under the City-King County District Court contract).

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council to approve Resolution No. 5032
Background Summary:
Resolution No. 5032 levies the .1% sales tax credit against the state sales tax for annexation
of the Lea Hill Area. Washington State Senate Bill 6686 authorizing the tax credit was passed
by the state legislature during the 2006 regular session. The intent of the legislation was to
provide financial assistance to Cities with Planned Annexation Area (PAA's) that did not
produce revenues sufficient to cover the costs of urban levels of services. The tax credit will
provide sufficient funding, along with the other revenues of the area, to provide those
services.
The City moved forward with the annexation of Lea Hill based upon the availability of this tax
credit. Cities wishing to take advantage of this tax credit incentive had to commence
annexation prior to January 1, 2010. The tax credit is available to the city for up to 10 years
and is limited to the maximum of .1% credit against the State tax or the difference between
the City's cost to provide, maintain, and operate municipal services for the annexation areas
and the general revenues that the City receives from the annexation area during a given
year. 2013 will be the seventh year that the City of Auburn has asked the State for the sales
tax credit. The last year of this tax credit will be 2016.

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council to adopt Ordinance No. 6494
Background Summary:
Ordinance No. 6494 levies the .022% sales tax credit against the state sales tax for local
revitalization financing. SB 5045 authorizing the tax credit was passed by the state
legislature during the 2009 regular session. The intent of the legislation was to provide
financial assistance to Cities to assist with financing public improvements in an identified
revitalization area to promote community and economic development.
The City first applied for the use of local revitalization financing on August 11, 2009 and
the Department of Revenue approved the City’s application on September 16, 2009,
authorizing up to $250,000.00/yr for the local revitalization program (Promenade capital
improvements).
In 2010, the City issued $7.24 million in 2010 C/D Bonds for the purpose of funding
capital improvements for the Promenade. Annual debt service payments for these bonds
continue through the year 2035. Funds from the sales tax credit, combined with REET2
funds are used to pay for the annual debt service costs of the local revitalization
project. As of the end of 2013, the remaining principal balance is $6.36 million.
The tax credit is available to the City for up to 25 years. 2014 will be the fifth year that
the City has asked the State for the tax credit. As provided by the state, in order for the
City to continue receiving the tax credit, the City must request this each year by
Ordinance.
Based upon historical taxable retail sales, the above rate of .022% is estimated to
generate $250,000 for local revitalization funding during the State’s fiscal year July 1,
2014 – June 30, 2015.

Agreement AG-C-449
Enclosure: Professional Services Agreement AG-C-449
Background
The City of Auburn is working with the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to design and construct
the Mill Creek Wetland 5K Reach stream restoration project, which is included in the City of
Auburn 2014-2019 Capital Facilities Plan as Project No. CP0746. The project, which constructs
stream restoration and habitat improvements on Mill Creek between Main Street and SR-167, is
one of 45 projects in the Green River drainage basin identified and authorized by Congress for
federal funding under the Green/Duwamish Ecosystem Restoration Program (ERP) as part of
the federal Water Resources Development Act of 2000.
For ERP projects, federal and non-federal roles and responsibilities are detailed in two
agreements, one for design and one for construction. The City entered into a project Design
Agreement with the Corps in 2010. The Design agreement establishes a federal/non-federal
cost share for design of 75-percent federal, 25-percent non federal (City). A construction
agreement, referred to by the Corps as a Project Partnership Agreement (PPA), is scheduled to
be presented to the City Council for consideration in April 2014 upon the completion of 95-
percent Design plans for the project. Under the PPA, the federal cost share for completion of the
project is 65-percent, and the non-federal (City) cost share is 35-percent.
Under the terms of the Design Agreement, the City’s responsibilities include design team
participation and design plan technical review. Under the terms of the prospective Project
Partnership Agreement, City responsibilities include the acquisition of necessary real estate
interests and meeting the requirements of the Corps’ real estate certification process. That
DI.D Page 170 of 302

process, referred to as LERRD certification by the Corps (LERRD refers to Land, Easements,
Right-of-Way, Relocation, and Disposal sites), has a number of substantive and procedural
requirements that dictate a specific process and methodology that must be followed by the City
to secure and assure the real estate interests that are required for an ERP project. Most City
costs associated with LERRD certification can be credited to the City’s cost share for the
project.
Agreement AG-C-449
Purpose of the Agreement
Staff is requesting Council authorization to enter into professional services Agreement No. AG-
C-449 with environmental consultant Maul Foster Alongi (MFA) to provide environmental and
real estate services to assist the City with project design and real estate requirements for the
Mill Creek Wetland 5K ERP project. A copy of AG-C-449 is enclosed.
Scope of Work
The scope of work includes the following tasks:
· Project real estate interest acquisition and LERRD certification activities;
· Preparation of a funding strategy, and assistance with identifying and securing
supplemental grant funding for the project; and
· Technical review of the project design plans.
In addition, the agreement includes an optional task for other technical assistance needs that
may be identified by the City as the project moves proceeds. Specific written authorization from
the City would be required before any work on this task could be performed.
Financial Information
Primary consultant services: $81,250.00
Optional consultant services: $10,000.00
Total consultant services: $91,250.00
It is estimated that $52,805.00 of the cost associated with the contract would be eligible for
crediting by the Corps against the City’s 35-percent share of the total project cost (LERRD
credit). The remaining $38,445.00 would be expenses that are not expected to be eligible for
LERRD credit.

5. Due Diligence.
5.1 Due Diligence Period. Buyer shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) days
from the date of this Agreement (the “Due Diligence Period”) to conduct Buyer’s due
diligence review, examination and inspection of all matters pertaining to its acquisition of
the Property, including such inspections, tests, and surveys as Buyer deems appropriate to

extent such information is in the possession or control of Seller, shall provide reasonable

its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this subsection. If City shall have timely
and affirmatively advised the Seller in writing of its dissatisfaction with the aforesaid

5.2 Title Commitment. Promptly after mutual execution of this Agreement, Seller

from the Title Company (the “Commitment”) as is consistent with Section 9 together
with copies of all recorded documents listed as special exceptions therein. Approval by
Buyer of the exceptions to title set forth in the Commitment (other than as hereinafter set
forth) shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property.
Unless Buyer gives written notice that it disapproves the exceptions to title shown on the
Commitment (other than the exceptions to title approved by Buyer and described in
Section 6.3 below), stating the exceptions so disapproved, within thirty (30) days after the
date of this Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such exceptions. If
Buyer disapproves any title exceptions, Seller shall have a ten (10) day period after its
receipt of Buyer’s written notice of disapproval of the same within which to provide
written notice to Buyer as to which of such disapproved title exceptions the Seller will
remove (or cause to be removed) from title; provided, however, that Seller shall not be
required to actually remove such exception(s) until Closing. If, for any reason, Seller’s
notice given pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence does not covenant to remove
all of Buyer’s disapproved title exceptions at or prior to Closing, Buyer shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent given
within ten (10) days after the earlier of the expiration of such ten (10) day period or the
date Seller informs Buyer that it does not intend to remove the disapproved items (the
“Termination Notice”). Buyer’s failure to deliver the Termination Notice within such ten
(10) day period shall be deemed Buyer’s approval of any such previously disapproved
title exception. If Buyer delivers the Termination Notice within such ten (10) day period,
the obligation of Seller to sell, and Buyer to buy, the Property as herein provided shall
terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. Buyer shall have the option to
waive the condition precedent set forth in this Section 6.2 by written notice to Seller. In
the event of such waiver, such condition precedent shall be deemed satisfied.

approved by Buyer pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2 above, Buyer shall accept
title to the Property subject to the following (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”):

Background Summary:
In February 2012, the Pierce County Regional Council (PCRC) sought applications from
jurisdictions to designate Centers of Local Importance for the 2012 transportation
funding cycle. Auburn submitted an application requesting that the Pierce County
portion of the City be designated a local center. Subsequent to the transportation
funding cycle, the Growth Management Coordinating Committee (staff committee that
supports the Pierce County Regional Council) was charged with developing criteria for
designating Center of Local Importance with the result being recommended
amendments to the Pierce County Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs).
At the March 21, 2013 PCRC meeting, the PCRC recommended approval of the
amended CPPs to the full County Council. The County Council held a public hearing on
September 10, 2013 and approved the amended CPPs on September 24, 2013. Once
the County Council takes approval action, the amended CPPs are sent to the cities and
towns in Pierce County 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.
There is an 180-day approval process for amendments to the CPPs. Jurisdictions may
take action to approve or disapprove the interlocal agreement, or the absence of a
legislative action to disapprove the proposed amendment by March 23, 2014 then
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.F Page 196 of 302
amendments are automatically in effect.
Planning and Community Development Committee reviewed Resolution No. 5030 at
their January 13, 2013 meeting. The Committee decided to move the item to action and
recommended approval of Resolution No. 5030 to the full City Council.

RE: Centers of Particular Local Interest
At the meeting of the Pierce County Regional Council (PCRC) on January 26, 2012, a discussion occurred specific
to “Centers of Particular Interest” as it relates to VISION 2040’s (V2040) language referring to “town centers and
activity nodes” and the allocation of transportation funding. This discussion was initiated through a request by the
Pierce County Transportation Coordinating Committee (TCC) with consultation with the Pierce County Growth
Management Coordinating Committee (GMCC).
As you are aware, we are on the verge of beginning another cycle of competition for federal funds managed by
PSRC. Historically, for the Countywide share of the funds (not the Regional share), the policy has been that
transportation projects in or serving local centers as well as Regional Centers were eligible to receive federal
funding; however, since there was no definition or identification of these areas the TCC Scoring Committee has had
to take a more subjective approach to determine if a project was really associated with a local center. Consequently,
each member of the Scoring Committee has been left to determine individually which projects adequately support
V2040’s “town centers and activity nodes” language. The PCRC is being asked to remove this subjectivity from this
year’s Countywide funding scoring process. This may be achieved through the identification/ compilation of “Local
Centers” as submitted by the County and cities and towns and agreed to by the PCRC.
At this time PCRC is formally requesting a list and supporting documentation from each jurisdiction specifying its
“local centers” and “activity nodes.” Supporting documentation could include any past legislative action, a
completed study, a master plan or anything else a jurisdiction believes makes its case for the local significance of a
particular area. The submitted local centers will be compiled on a map and presented to the GMCC along with the
associated documentation. Please note that this process is completely separate from the CPPs formal process for
jurisdictions to nominate new Regional Growth Centers and Manufacturing Centers.
Again, it has not yet been determined by PCRC if this list will be used in the current round of Countywide
competitive federal transportation funding through PSRC. If agreed to, we would use the list solely to aid in scoring
application for the current (2012) funding competition. Our intention is to have the GMCC review the submitted
proposals and forward a recommendation to the PCRC for consideration at its March meeting.
Because of the tight timeline associated with the transportation funding process, it is vital that the GMCC be able to
start reviewing any Local Centers to be considered at its next meeting on February 23. Please submit your list and
supporting documentation to Toni Fairbanks, PCRC Clerk, at tfairba@co.pierce.wa.us. If you have any technical
questions, please direct them through your GMCC representative to Ian Munce, imunce@ci.tacoma.wa.us. Only
proposals submitted by 4:30 p.m. on February 17, 2012, will be considered.
Thank you,
Glenn Hull
PCRC Chair.

Exhibit A - Comprehensive Downtown
Parking Management Plan (CDPMP)

Administrative Recommendation:
For discussion only.
Background Summary:
Resolution No. 5031 proposes to adopt the Comprehensive Downtown Parking
Management Plan, (CDPMP), which will guide parking policy development and
implementation within downtown Auburn within the following framework:
l To manage existing parking assists, assess current parking demand, forecast
future parking needs, and develop a first-rate downtown paring system as an
additional amenity that keeps up with existing businesses, projects underway, and
future development; and
l To balance business, residential, visitor, and commuter parking needs in light of
redevelopment and increased transit service.
Work on the CDPMP commenced in August 2011, following adoption of the Draft Work
Plan by the Planning and Community Development Committee in July 2011.
The draft Downtown Urban Center (DUC) On-Street and Off-Street Parking Supply and
Demand Analysis (Task 1) was presented to the Planning and Community Development
Committee in October 2011 and revised in December 2011. Staff subsequently revised
the analysis in December 2011, inclusive of feedback received from the Planning and
Community Development Committee and updated data for several City-owned off-street
parking lots in downtown Auburn.
The draft Downtown Parking Survey Report (Task 2) was presented to the Planning and
Community Development Committee in July 2012. The report summarizes responses
from Auburn Citizens at-large, downtown Auburn business and property owners, and a
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.G Page 214 of 302
diverse cross-section of stakeholders to the Downtown Parking Survey conducted in
May 2012, which gauged perception of existing parking and the preferred methods of
moving forward in meeting future parking needs in downtown Auburn.
The draft CDPMP table of contents was presented to the Planning and Community
Development Committee in October 2012; the draft CDMPM (Tasks 3 and 4), which
incorporated and refined the findings of the existing DUC On-Street and Off-Street
Parking Supply and Demand Analysis and Downtown Parking Survey, was presented to
the Planning and Community Development Committee in August. The Planning and
Community Development Committee did not express any feedback that necessitated
revision of the draft CDPMP presented. The Auburn Transit Center parking portion of
the CDPMP was further discussed with the Planning and Community Development
Committee in November 2013 and refined per the feed back received.
Adoption of the CDPMP (Task 5) culminates the Draft Work Plan. The CDPMP was
recommended for approval by the Planning and Community Development Committee on
January 13, 2014, as the lead action committee. The second committee review is the
Public Works Committee.

Executive Summary
The Comprehensive Downtown Parking Management Plan (CDPMP), which primarily addresses parking policy
within the Downtown Urban Center (DUC) zoning district, begins with an overview of the plan’s purpose
and approach:
• To manage existing parking assets, assess current parking demand, forecast future parking needs, and
develop a first-rate downtown parking system as an additional amenity that keeps up with existing
businesses, projects underway, and future development; and
• To balance business, residential, visitor, and commuter parking needs in light of redevelopment and
increased transit service.
The CDPMP is also guided by the 7 Simple Rules of Planning for parking:
• Pinpoint the Parking• Strike a Balance• Crown the Customer King• Provide “Free” Parking• Reduce the “Last Mile”• Clarify the Code• Change It Up
The plan then moves into an overview of the City’s parking system, including existing and future parking
infrastructure and resources available and existing and future usage:
• Of the approximately 4,879 parking spaces available inventoried as of December 2011, parking areas that
experience particularly vexing problems of high occupancy are limited to Wayland Arms (King County
Housing Authority) block and Multicare Auburn Medical Center blocks for on-street parking and (on
weekdays) the Auburn Transit Center garage and surface parking lot blocks for off-street parking.
• In the short term (5 years) there is an anticipated increase in parking demand of approximately 1,483
spaces and increase in parking supply of approximately 806 spaces. At peak hour, considering existing
public on- and off-street parking spaces available in the entire DUC, a 243-space deficit is anticipated.
• In the long term (10 years) there is an anticipated cumulative increase in parking demand of
approximately 1,873 spaces and cumulative increase in parking supply of approximately 806 spaces. At
peak hour, considering existing public on- and off-street parking spaces available in the entire DUC, a
633-space deficit is anticipated.
Other components of the City’s parking system are the existing organizational and management structure,
planning efforts, investment strategies, operations, and maintenance. Opportunities for improvement
highlighted include:
• Increase in coordination between City departments and divisions with regards to the parking system’s
various components (on-street, off-street, citations, marketing, etc.);• Increase in regularity of planning for parking;• Increase in planning for parking impacts on special event days;• Continued coordination with police and potentially increase parking enforcement; and• Refinement of marketing and communications for the parking system.
1DI.G Page 227 of 302
Case studies follow the review of these parking system components.
Parking best practices, including those from the aforementioned case studies, are then summarized and
collected into the Best Practices Toolbox (table), based on feedback from the parking surveys received
from Downtown businesses and citizens and staff’s research and experience related to parking. Not all best
practices are applicable to Downtown Auburn at this time. As such, the recommended actions for each best
practice are identified as follows: continuation, modification, implementation, or no action. See Chapter 4 of
the CDPMP for the entirety of the best practices toolbox.
The CDPMP closes with a detailed action plan of existing best practices that the City can draw from for
modification or implementation. The action plan includes proposed near-term recommendations (up to 1
year), short-term recommendations (1-5 years), and long-term recommendations (6-10 years), as follows:
Near-Term (up to 1 year)
• Revise timed parking limits to 3 hours throughout the DUC• Clarify existing code and implement a parking inventory database• Update the City’s website to make more useful for parking seekers• Design and install updated signs for on-street parking identifying availability and rules
Short-Term (1-5 Years)
• Expand and modify the residential parking zone beyond D ST NW per demand• Plan for spillover areas on the fringe of downtown• Designate one department or division that is the single point of contact for all parking-related matters,
despite whatever organizational structure exists behind-the-scenes• Regularly readjust current parking practices at least every 5th year• Regularly reevaluate peak parking supply and demand every year• Evaluate funding options and implement a multi-faceted plan to finance additional public parking for
anticipated parking deficits• Establish a parking ambassador program• Require organizers to better plan for special events• Develop and implement a 3-strikes parking enforcement policy• Design and install easy-to-read off-street parking signs• Create alerts for parking availability-impacting maintenance and construction activity• Design and install trailblazer signs to direct drivers to available off-street public parking
Long-Term (6-10 Years)
• Increase transit access, citywide/regionally• Revise timed parking limits, as needed• Continue to plan for spillover areas on the fringe of downtown• Increase transit access, around downtown

1. Introduction
1.1 – Purpose and Approach
The Comprehensive Downtown Parking Management Plan (CDPMP) serves the same vision enumerated for
downtown in the City’s Auburn Downtown Plan and Comprehensive Plan: to support the continuous revitalization
of downtown Auburn as the physical and cultural heart of the Auburn community and development of a
mixed-use district. To facilitate that vision, the CDPMP is a concerted effort to manage existing parking
assets, assess current parking demand, forecast future parking needs, and develop a first-rate downtown
parking system as an additional amenity that keeps up with existing businesses, projects underway, and
future development.
Initiative for developing the CDPMP emerged in a downtown Auburn at the crossroads of:
• Balancing business, residential, visitor, and commuter parking needs in downtown;
• Evolving parking demands in downtown, including a new sushi restaurant and gym on E Main ST
and additional anticipated redevelopment in the Auburn Junction blocks south of City Hall, the fruits
of various downtown public art programs and multi-million dollar investments in streetscape and
infrastructure improvements; and
• Expansion of Sounder commuter train services.
The first step towards the CDPMP were taken with the approval of the Draft Work Plan by the Planning
and Community Development Committee in July 2011. It has since progressed as follows:
• October 2011 – Downtown Urban Center On- and Off-Street Parking Supply and Demand Analysis was completed.
The analysis inventoried all of the parking spaces available within downtown, whether public or
privately owned, and their occupancies throughout the day.
• December 2011 – Downtown Urban Center On- and Off-Street Parking Supply and Demand Analysis was revised to
reflect changes to the user-type for City-owned and/or –operated surface parking lots.
• July 2012 – Citizens Survey/Business and Property Owners Survey/Stakeholder Interviews gauged people’s
perceptions of parking in downtown, the anecdotal statistics of the parking experience.
• August 2013 – Comprehensive Downtown Parking Management Plan (CDPMP) draft is completed. The CDPMP
combines the previously gathered numerical and anecdotal statistics of parking in downtown with
professional staff insight and experiences of other jurisdictions.
• January 2014 – CDPMP is presented to the Planning and Community Development Committee for
finalization and adoption of an administrative framework for staff to implement a first-rate parking
system in downtown.
• Future date – Public open houses will be conducted for further refinement of the CDPMP in future
iterations.
3DI.G Page 229 of 302
1.2 – Plan Components
The CDPMP is organized into four components: the Parking System (Chapter 2), Parking Case Studies
(Chapter 3), Parking Best Practices Toolbox (Chapter 4), and Parking Action Plan (Chapter 4).
Chapter 2 examines the existing parking system, with a focus on City-owned and City-run parking in terms
of physical parking resources, administration and planning, operations, and marketing. The chapter is
divided into the following sections:
Existing and Future Infrastructure, Resources, and Usage
• How many and where are parking spaces located?• Where are the most vexing parking issues?• What are occupancy trends in downtown overall?• How will parking demand change over time?• How many parking spaces are expected to be added?
Organization, Management, Planning, and Investment
• Who in the City is responsible for what?• How has the City planned for parking in the past?• How does the City plan for parking in the future?• How and when does the City invest in additional parking spaces?
Maintenance and Operations
• How does the City’s parking operate on a daily basis?• How are parking regulations enforced?• How are permit fees and violation fines paid?• How are the City’s parking resources maintained?
Marketing and Communications
• How does the City get word out about parking options for businesses, residents, visitors, and commuters?• How does the City show where parking is located?
Chapter 3 presents case studies of how the above-referenced parking system components are operated in
other jurisdictions and institutions. Some policies and practices presented are intended to be best practices
(whose applicability to the City is analyzed in Chapter 4) while others serve as cautions.
Chapter 4, following review of the City’s existing parking system and case studies, presents the various best
practices employed in the provision of parking, parking demand management, and operations of a parking
system. Not all policies and practices listed in the toolbox are intended to be applicable for the City in this
iteration of the CDPMP; instead, it is a collection of tools that should be considered whenever the City is
looking to fine-tune its parking system.
Chapter 5, the final part of the CDPMP, assembles a recommended action plan of near-term (up to 1 year
implementation), short-term (1-5 year implementation), and long-term (6-10 year implementation) changes to
the City’s parking system.

1.3 – Plan Area and Applicability
The CDPMP, in terms of geographic implementation, primarily addresses parking policy within the
Downtown Urban Center (DUC) zoning district, which includes the Auburn Junction blocks where
development activity of significant scale is expected (Figure 1.3.1).
5
Figure 1.3.1 - Map of Downtown Urban Center (DUC) and Auburn Junction
The physical effects of parking policies applicable to the DUC, however, may not be necessarily quarantined
within the politically defined boundaries of the DUC. In response to that potential, staff have identified
DI.G Page 231 of 302
Potential Parking Spillover Areas (PPSAs) (Appendix A) where impacts of DUC parking policies may
warrant extension of DUC parking policies into those areas (or at the very least, consideration of toolbox
best practices in Chapter 4) to diffuse the impacts. PPSAs were identified based on the following criteria:
• Areas within ¼-mile from the DUC and Downtown Business Improvement Area (BIA), whose
boundaries include areas not otherwise included within the DUC; and
• Where availability of on-street public parking is potentially impacted by spillover parking demand
generated from the DUC and BIA and/or large businesses, institutions, public gathering places, and
other high parking demand uses within the PPSAs themselves.
Operationally speaking, the CDPMP’s recommended action plan in Chapter 5 primarily focuses on City-
owned and City-run parking resources. Many best practices identified in the toolbox in Chapter 4, especially
those applicable to parking in private development, have already been adopted as part of the development
regulations applicable to the DUC contained in Auburn City Code (ACC) Chapter 18.29 or in the Downtown
Urban Center Design Standards.
6 DI.G Page 232 of 302
1.4 – 7 Simple Rules of Planning for Parking
The 7 Simple Rules of Planning for Parking serve as guiding principles for development of Auburn-specific
parking policy in this iteration of the CDPMP. They derive from the parking supply and demand realities
observed in downtown Auburn, the feedback about downtown parking received1, and staff analysis of parking
approaches taken in other jurisdictions.
1. PINPOINT THE PARKING
Direct people effectively and efficiently to available parking. There is not a parking supply problem
everywhere, all the time.
2. STRIKE A BALANCE
Address the needs of overlapping and/or competing parking interests. In downtown Auburn, these needs are
broadly identified as those of residents, businesses, visitors, and commuters.
3. CROWN THE CUSTOMER KING
Prioritize visitor parking. Make visitor parking as easy as possible in prime locations.
4. PROVIDE “FREE” PARKING
Avoid paid parking, whenever possible. While parking is never truly without costs, visitors, residents,
businesses, and commuters should shoulder part of those costs only as a last resort.
5. REDUCE THE “LAST MILE”
Shorten the distance, perception-wise, between parking space and destination. The vibrantly urban, compact,
and walkable mixed-use character that downtown Auburn continues to grow into is inherently incompatible
with the provision of plentiful home-, office-, store-, and restaurant- front parking.
6. CLARIFY THE CODE
Write code that streamlines the process of parking system organization, management, planning,
maintenance, and operations.
7. CHANGE IT UP
Reassess each component of the CDPMP to meet current needs, as parking system conditions change and
new parking best practices emerge. The CDPMP is not intended to be static; it merely establishes the
framework for fine-tuning the parking system at any given time.
7
1 Besides specific problematic parking areas, responses from the Downtown Parking Survey conducted in July 2012 also
identified the following parking concerns: the distance between parking space and destination, non-residents parking on
residential streets, confusing and/or lack of parking signage, and the poor design of parking spaces.
DI.G Page 233 of 302
2. The Parking System
2.1 – Existing Parking Infrastructure, Resources, and Usage
EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND RESOURCES
According to the Downtown Urban Center On- and Off-Street Parking Supply and Demand Analysis, which cross-
referenced code-specified parking and available Public Works data with physical observations for on-
street parking and cross-referenced the City’s and Google Maps’ aerial imagery and previous studies and
reports with physical counts for off-street stalls, there were a total of 4,8792 parking spaces in the DUC as
of December 2011. The different types of parking available, along with the general locations of each type
(Figures 2.1.1 and 2.1.2), are as follows:
• On-street public parking (unlimited time, time-limited, permit only, and loading zones)
Locations: almost all blocks in the DUC
• Off-street public parking (time-limited)
Locations: within one to two blocks from E/W Main ST,between the Auburn Justice Center and the
Burlington Northern-Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad tracks
• Off-street permit parking3 (unlimited time)
Locations: within one to two blocks from E/W Main ST,between the Auburn Justice Center and the
BNSF railroad tracks
• Off-street private parking
Locations: almost all blocks in the DUC
All on-street and off-street public and permit parking spaces in the DUC are located within an
approximately 1/4-mile walking distance4 from Auburn Transit Center, Auburn Junction, and Multicare
Auburn Medical Center blocks, where demand is currently and anticipated to be the highest (see
‘EXISTING USAGE’ under Chapter 2.1 and ‘FUTURE USAGE’ under Chapter 2.2). This includes parking
spaces located across C ST NW/SW and the BNSF railroad tracks to the west for Auburn Transit Center and
Auburn Junction blocks and parking spaces located across Auburn Ave N/A ST SE and Auburn Way N/S to
the east for Auburn Junction and Multicare Auburn Medical Center blocks (Figure 2.1.3). That being said,
there is opportunity for improvement in east-west connections to parking spaces.
8
2 Excluding on- and off-street public and private parking spaces inaccessible due to S Division ST Promenade construction,
other off-street private parking spaces in lots inaccessible for data collection, and single-family off-street private garage and
driveway parking; this underestimates the number of parking spaces as of January 2014. See ‘Chapter 3 – Methodology’ in the
Downtown Urban Center On- and Off-Street Parking Supply and Demand Analysis for how parking supply in the DUC was specifically
measured.
3 Including City employee and non-police fleet parking.
4 The widely adopted walking distance that a transit user will tolerate between point of origin and transit station.

Approximately 1/5 of parking spaces in the DUC are City-owned and/or City-run; the remainder are
provided by the private sector. Neither the City nor the private sector currently provide hourly or daily paid
parking. Paid parking in the City is limited to monthly permit parking provided by the City and parking
provided as part of commercial and residential unit sales and leases in the private sector.

parking spaces are occupied (56%) and 2,213 parking spaces are available (44%). On the weekend, the DUC
experiences peak parking occupancy during daytime Saturday6, with 1,721 (35%) parking spaces occupied and
3,158 (65%) spaces available.
6 Due to limited resources, data collected on weekends for the Downtown Urban Center On- and Off-Street Parking Supply and Demand
Analysis was limited to daytime and nighttime only, rather than specific time segments. For the same reason, off-street parking
occupancies are extrapolated, as off-street parking observed does not include all off-street parking spaces in the DUC.
Figure 2.1.3 - Parking Within Walking Distance (1/4 Mile)
DI.G Page 237 of 302
Block-by-block, peak parking occupancy also occurs during lunchtime on weekdays, with the average block
43% occupied. Few blocks, even when considering on- and off-street parking separately, ever exceed 85%
occupied, the widely adopted threshold for optimal parking occupancy espoused by Donald Shoup, parking
professor, researcher, economist, and author of The High Cost of Free Parking. For those blocks that do, very few
exceed 85% occupancy for more than one time segment per day.
There are 2 types of blocks with on- or off-street parking that exceed 85% occupancy throughout the day
(Figure 2.1.4). The less problematic are blocks with available parking spaces nearby when exceeding 85%
occupancy (blocks of moderate concern). For example, >85% occupancy in on-street parking on one block is
potentially negated with <85% occupancy in off-street parking on the same block and/or <85% occupancy
in on- or off-street parking within a 2-block radius. Blocks that fall into this category include the Auburn
Avenue Theater, Truitt Building, and Agrishop blocks for on-street parking and the Truitt Building and (on
the weekend) Multicare Auburn Medical Center blocks for off-street parking. The more vexing blocks are
those without available parking spaces nearby when exceeding 85% occupancy (blocks of heavy concern).
These include the Wayland Arms (King County Housing Authority) block and Multicare Auburn Medical
Center blocks for on-street parking and (on weekdays) the Auburn Transit Center garage and surface parking
lot blocks.

2.2 – Future Parking Infrastructure, Resources, and Usage
FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE AND RESOURCES
Prior to the Comprehensive Downtown Parking Management Plan
(CDPMP), there has been no recent consideration by the City to
expand on- and off-street parking resources in the DUC.
Per the Comprehensive Transportation Plan, only one future roadway
capacity improvement project identified (F ST SE between 4th ST
SE and Auburn Way S) includes the addition of on-street parking
and is located outside of the DUC.
Additionally, neither land acquisitions for off-street parking nor
improvement of existing municipal properties for off-street parking
have been identified in the 2013-2018 Capital Facilities Plan.
The Auburn Transit Center garage and surface parking lots
(Figure 2.2.1), which are already at capacity, are not operated by
the City, but by Sound Transit. While Sound Transit committed
to a second Auburn Transit Center parking garage as part of the
Sound Transit 2 package of improvements approved by voters
in 2008, and the Comprehensive Transportation Plan recommends
that Sound Transit immediately work with the City to create the
additional parking, the facility has been put on hold as funding
has not been identified. Funding of $1.3 million to $1.5 million,
however, does exist from Metro for an Auburn Transit Center-
adjacent parking facility that serves commuters during weekdays
and other users at all other times, though no specific site has
been selected and acquired. The funding originates from the sale
agreement for the existing Metro park and ride near 15th ST
NE and A ST NE, but no construction date has been forecasted.
While the City is open to discussing interim Sound Transit and
Metro parking solutions, the planned permanent Sound Transit-
and Metro-funded parking spaces are therefore not included as
available future supply7.
Instead, any physical expansion of overall parking supply in the
foreseeable future is anticipated to be code-required off-street
parking constructed for private development in the DUC only. As
of the report’s writing, only plans for one project has emerged that
will noticeably increase parking supply in the DUC. The project
occupies half of the northeastern block of Auburn Junction, where
Figure 2.2.1 - The Auburn
Transit Center garage (above)
and surface parking lots (bottom)
are already at capacity.
7 Though not anticipated, Scenario 1b in the ‘FUTURE USAGE’ subsection includes as available future supply the number
of Sound Transit- and Metro-funded parking spaces matching the anticipated increase in transit demand, solely as basis for
analysis of existing public parking resources’ ability to accommodate non-transit demand.
DI.G Page 240 of 302
development activity of significant scale is expected to occur8 in
downtown Auburn. Per the plans received by the Planning and
Development Department, the project will be a 5-story, 126-
unit, commercial/residential mixed use building (Figure 2.2.2)
providing a net increase of 1109 parking spaces to the parking
supply identified in the Downtown Urban Center On-and Off-Street
Parking Supply and Demand Analysis. Three (3) additional blocks of
mixed use buildings totaling about 693 units are expected to be
constructed in Auburn Junction10 and about 693 parking spaces
will be added to the DUC’s parking supply11.
Other potential private development and redevelopment activity
in the DUC is unlikely to result in increases to the DUC’s
overall parking supply. The Market Analysis prepared for the
City by Gardner Economics in 2011 noted that structured and
underground parking is the biggest barrier to development in the
Auburn Junction blocks. In addition, the Auburn Junction Design
Guidelines allow for exemption from providing on-site parking for
non-residential uses if “adequate parking in public rights-of-way
and offsite public facilities” can be demonstrated. For the rest of
the DUC, ACC Section 18.29.060(H) also specifies that changes
of use in existing buildings, expansions of not more than 25%
in floor area, and new retail and restaurant developments of less
than 3,000SF are exempt from providing any additional parking
spaces at all. While any development or redevelopment activity in
the DUC outside of those exemptions are required to contribute
to contribute a fee in lieu of providing required parking spaces,
the date of construction for a City parking structure, if any, is
indeterminate.
As such, about 803 parking spaces are anticipated to be added to
the DUC overall in the foreseeable future.
FUTURE USAGE
Parking demand forecasting performed for the DUC derives from
known projects in the pipeline, the Market Analysis, Sound Transit’s
June 2013 CEO Report, and Sound Transit’s 2012 Station Access
Analysis. The three (3) documents identify the primary demand-
impacting trends and activities, as follows:

the proposed 5-story, 126-unit,
commercial/residential mixed
use building in the northeastern
block of Auburn Junction.
8 Plans have been received for the northeastern block. The mostly City-owned southeastern and southwestern blocks sold
October 2013. See ‘FUTURE USAGE’ subsection for detailed demand modeling.
9 The project will provide 54 parking spaces and repurpose the existing Cavanaugh parking structure, whose 56-space second
floor was not included in the parking supply in the Downtown Urban Center On-and Off-Street Parking Supply and Demand Analysis, to
provide the remainder of its code-required parking.
10 See ‘FUTURE USAGE’ subsection for detailed demand modeling.
11 Per the Auburn Junction Design Standards, all residential uses in Auburn Junction are required to provide parking spaces on-site
per the one (1) parking space per dwelling unit ratio specified in ACC Section 18.29.060(H).

Market Analysis (Gardner Economics)
• Demand for retail space in Auburn Junction will arrive after residential development has
commenced.
• Smaller scale apartment projects are viable with phased development of commercial space.
CEO Report (Sound Transit)
• Three (3) Seattle-bound and one (1) Tacoma/Lakewood-bound Sounder commuter rail roundtrips
will be added in the next 4 years (2013-2017), if plans do not otherwise change.
Station Access Analysis (Sound Transit)
• Auburn Transit Center arrivals by car (park and ride) will decrease over time with shift to arrivals
by public transportation, bicycling, and walking.
Since anticipated development and redevelopment for the DUC is unclear relative to anticipated
development in Auburn Junction and the Sound Transit’s projections only extends to 2017, demand
forecasting in the current CDPMP will be limited in scope to the subsequent 10 years. Specifically, parking
demand in the DUC can be forecasted with reasonable accuracy in the short term (2014-2018, 1-5 years) and
vaguer accuracy in the long term (2019-2023, 6-10 years).
SHORT TERM (1-5 YEARS)
Residential Parking Demand:
The project at the northeastern Auburn Junction block will add 126 studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom
apartment units per application materials received by the Planning and Development Department.
As previously identified, the remaining Auburn Junction blocks are likely to collectively add 693
apartment units12. Over the next 5 years, construction of 819 apartment units can be assumed with
reasonable confidence. Per the parking ratios specified in ACC Section 18.29.060(H), the total new
short-term residential parking demand is 819 spaces.
Commercial Parking Demand:
The project at the northeastern Auburn Junction block will add 5,195SF of commercial space per
application materials received by the Planning and Development Department.
While no project has come forward for the other blocks, ground floor spaces in Auburn Junction that
front E/W Main Street and S Division Street are required to be retail, restaurant, or personal service
16
12 The 126-unit building proposed in half of the northeastern Auburn Junction block is reasonably consistent with the Market
Analysis. It is consequently realistic to assume that the other Auburn Junction blocks will be developed with no more than 126
units each per half block. Excluding the parcels that contain the Sunbreak Café, a successful restaurant entity that is unlikely
to be developed, there are 2.75 blocks available for residential development.
DI.G Page 242 of 302
uses per the Auburn Junction Design Guidelines. Given the ratio of commercial space to parcel size in the
proposed project in the northeastern block of Auburn Junction, it is assumed that the same ratio for
ground floors in the remaining blocks will be developed as commercial space.
Under that scenario, approximately 29,075SF of commercial space in total will become available as a
result of short-term development activity, of which 22,389SF will be occupied in the short-term. This
is based on the total SF of the remaining Auburn Junction parcels plus vacated alleyways, less the
following:
• The Plaza Park and Sunbreak Café parcels at the northwest Auburn Junction block; the former, a
permanent public amenity and the latter, a successful restaurant entity; and
• 6,686SF in the northwest Auburn Junction block, whose commercial spaces will likely be occupied
in the long-term, assuming that this block will be the last to develop (since it has not sold and is
not owned by the City, unlike most of the properties in the southeast and southwest blocks)
The Market Analysis identified this commercial demand as retail or restaurant in nature. More specifically,
it predicted positive localized effects of a residential base at Auburn Junction on demand for food
(restaurants/groceries), apparel, healthcare, entertainment (public venues/retail), personal care (services/
retail), and books and magazines. As demand for groceries is already served by the existing Safeway just
east of Auburn Junction, across A ST SE, it is unlikely that an additional grocery store will locate in
Auburn Junction. Since groundfloor spaces in Auburn Junction are required to be retail, restaurant, or
personal service uses, it is also unlikely that medical offices will locate in Auburn Junction.
Should the occupancy of the commercial space at Auburn Junction be a scenario where it is divided
evenly between the localized short-term commercial demand generated by the projected residential
base, the following SF of occupancy and associated parking demand per ACC Section 18.29.060(H) is
expected:
• Food (restaurants) – 4,478SF at 0.5/4 seats13 = 26 parking spaces• Apparel – 4,478SF at 2/1,000SF = 9 parking spaces• Entertainment (public venues) – 2,239SF at 5/1,000SF14 = 11 parking spaces• Entertainment (retail) – 2,239SF at 2/1,000SF = 4parking spaces• Personal care (services) – 2,239SF at 2/1,000SF15 = 4 parking spaces• Personal care (retail) – 2,239SF at 2/1,000SF = 4 parking spaces• Books and magazines – 4,478SF at 2/1,000SF = 9 parking spaces
There is also about 12,254SF of commercial vacancy in the DUC overall, of which 3,200SF is expected
to be occupied in the short-term by a business that provides spa-like services. Since personal care
(services) require 2/1,000SF, the parking demand for this business is 6 parking spaces.
The total new short-term commercial parking demand is therefore 73 spaces.
17
13 Each seat is 15SF of floor area (excluding kitchens) on average per Design and Equipment for Restaurants and Food Service: A
Management View, “A Business Link” (Government of Alberta website), and Chuck Gohn Restaurant Associates NW; 30% of
floor area is for kitchens per “The Average Cost of Opening a Restaurant”, based on an Ohio State University Survey.
14 Per ACC Section 18.29.060(H) footnote (1), a parking study may be required to parking demand for uses not listed; in lieu
of doing so for the CDPMP, parking demand for entertainment venues in Auburn Junction were calculated at 5/1,000SF, the
ratio for commercial recreation (indoor) uses per ACC Section 18.52.020.

Auburn Transit Center Demand
Per the June 2013 CEO Report, Sound Transit intends to add one (1) Seattle-bound Sounder commuter
rail roundtrip in 2013, 2016, and 2017, and one (1) Tacoma/Lakewood-bound roundtrip in 2016, for a
total of 3 additional morning trips to Seattle and 1 additional morning trip to Tacoma in the short-term
(thru 2018).
Per the 2013 Service Implementation Plan (SIP), there were 963 daily boardings across seven (7) Seattle-bound
trains and 21 daily boardings across two (2) Tacoma-bound trains at Auburn Transit Center.
Assuming proportional growth between service and ridership, Sounder commuter rail service expansion
in the short-term could potentially bring 425 new riders to Auburn Transit Center. Based on previous
and October 2013 Public Works staff observations, 80% of arrivals at Auburn Transit Center are by
car (park and ride)16. No statistically significant decrease in percentage of car (park and ride) arrivals is
expected in the short term (thru 2018)17.
Therefore, the new total short-term parking demand for 425 riders is 340 spaces.
Displaced Parking Demand
Existing off-street private, permit, and public parking lots in the Auburn Junction blocks will become
permanently displaced as part of development in the short term. During lunchtime on weekdays, when
the DUC experiences peak parking occupancy, the existing off-street parking lots in the Auburn
Junction parcels to be developed are occupied by 251 cars; during the day on Saturday, when the DUC
experiences peak parking occupancy on the weekend, the same are occupied by 39 cars18.
The displaced total short-term parking demand is 251 spaces on weekdays and 39 spaces on weekends.
15 Per ACC Section 18.29.060(H) footnote (1), a parking study may be required to parking demand for uses not listed; in lieu
of doing so for the CDPMP, parking demand for personal care services in Auburn Junction were calculated at 2/1,000SF, the
ratio for retail uses in the DUC per ACC Section 18.29.060(H); retail uses below 15,000SF generate the same parking demand
as personal service shops per ACC Section 18.52.020.
16 The 2012 Station Access Analysis noted 65% of arrivals by car (park and ride), and the 2011 State of the Stations noted 62% of
riders surveyed arrived by car (park and ride). This is contrary to multiple observations made by the Public Works Department
and therefore disregarded.
17 While the 2012 Station Access Analysis projects that arrivals by car (park and ride) by 2030 will decrease to 47% with land use
projections or 33% with land use projections and Auburn Transit Center-adjacent improvement projects, this is not anticipated
to occur based on previous trends observed by Public Works Division staff, demographic information on Sounder commuter
rail riders, and anticipated decreases in existing transit services to and from Auburn Transit Center.
18 Extrapolated from off-street parking observed for the Downtown Urban Center On- and Off-Street Parking Supply and Demand Analysis,
which does not include data for all off-street parking spaces due to limited resources.

If Sound Transit- and Metro-funded parking garages are not constructed, dedicated off-street
parking is not anticipated to be adequately supplied. Though the new parking demand can be absorbed
into the DUC’s total existing parking resources, inclusive of permit-only and private off-street parking
spaces, it cannot be adequately absorbed by only the total available public parking resources, even when
considering commuters parking in on- and off-street public parking throughout the entire DUC.

the entire DUC. Most of these available public parking resources are located within an approximately
1/4-mile walking distance of Auburn Junction, where the bulk of future non-transit demand is
anticipated. There is opportunity for improvement, however, in east-west connections to parking spaces
across C ST NW/SW and the BNSF railroad tracks to the west and across Auburn Ave N/A ST SE and
Auburn Way N/S to the east.

Most of these available public parking resources are located within an approximately 1/4-mile walking

LONG TERM (6-10 YEARS)
Residential Parking Demand
Outside of the apartments developed in Auburn Junction over the short-term, the number of apartments
developed in the DUC overall over the long-term is unknown. No City document projects the expected
apartment units in the DUC overall over the next 10 years with reasonable confidence.
Assuming residential market saturation for the DUC and absent any anticipated new significant
residential development in the long-term, the total new long-term residential parking demand is hence
0 spaces.
Commercial Parking Demand
The final 6,686SF of commercial space developed in the Auburn Junction blocks will likely be occupied
in the long term, to account for the lag between development of residences and occupancy of associated
commercial space.
Should the occupancy of the commercial space at Auburn Junction be divided evenly between the
long-term localized commercial demand generated by the projected residential base, the following SF of
occupancy and associated parking demand per ACC Section 18.29.060(H) is expected21:
• Food (restaurants) – 1,337SF at 0.5/4 seats = 8 parking spaces• Apparel – 1,337SF at 2/1,000SF = 3 parking spaces• Entertainment (public venues) – 669SF at 5/1,000SF = 3 parking spaces• Entertainment (retail) – 669SF at 2/1,000SF = 1 parking spaces• Personal care (services) – 669SF at 2/1,000SF = 1 parking spaces• Personal care (retail) – 669SF at 2/1,000SF = 1 parking spaces• Books and magazines – 1,337SF at 2/1,000SF = 3 parking spaces
In addition, assuming the remaining 9,054SF2223 of vacant commercial space in the DUC is occupied
in the long-term as a result of the anticipated demand generated by Auburn Junction, and occupancy
is divided evenly between the long-term localized commercial demand generated by the projected
residential base, the following SF of occupancy and associated parking demand per ACC Section
18.29.060(H) is expected:
• Food (restaurants) – 1,811SF at 0.5/4 seats = 11 parking spaces• Apparel – 1,811SF at 2/1,000SF = 4 parking spaces• Entertainment (public venues) – 905SF at 5/1,000SF = 5 parking spaces• Entertainment (retail) – 905SF at 2/1,000SF = 2 parking spaces• Personal care (services) – 905SF at 2/1,000SF = 2 parking spaces
24
21 See ‘Commercial Parking Demand’ under ‘FUTURE USAGE – SHORT-TERM (1-5 YEARS)’ for detailed calculation
methodology.
22 Based on an October 2013 physical survey of vacant commercial spaces in the DUC, excluding vacancies with off-street
private parking. With 1,000+ off-street private parking spaces available at the weekday peak of lunchtime (11am-2pm), it is
not anticipated that occupancy of vacant commercial spaces with off-street private parking will generate any on-street parking
impacts, nor is it anticipated that the same occupancy will be statistically significant regarding the overall reduction of parking
supply in the DUC.
23 Excludes any potential vacancies in the long-term, in the DUC.
DI.G Page 250 of 302
• Personal care (retail) – 905SF at 2/1,000SF = 2 parking spaces• Books and magazines – 1,811SF at 2/1,000SF = 4 parking spaces
The total new long-term commercial parking demand is therefore 50 spaces.
Auburn Transit Center Demand
While the June 2013 CEO Report and 2013 SIP identify Sounder commuter rail service expansion for the
short term, no document projects service levels beyond the short term (thru 2018). For the purposes of
estimating parking demand in the CDPMP and absent any projection or promise by Sound Transit, it
is assumed that Sound Transit will mirror Sounder commuter rail service expansion in the short-term,
and thus parking demand for 3 additional Seattle-bound roundtrips and 1 additional Tacoma/Lakewood-
bound roundtrip in the long-term (thru 2023) is anticipated.
Using the same assumption of proportional growth between service and ridership24, Sounder commuter
rail service expansion in the long-term could potentially bring 425 new riders to Auburn Transit Center.
Based on previous and October 2013 Public Works staff observations, 80% of arrivals at Auburn Transit
Center are by car (park and ride)25. No statistically significant decrease in percentage of car (park and
ride) arrivals is expected in the long term (thru 2023)26.
Due to the anticipated mode shift in arrivals to Auburn Transit Center, the new total long-term parking
demand for 425 riders is 340 spaces.
Displaced Parking Demand
Existing off-street private, permit, and public parking lots in the Auburn Junction blocks will already
have become permanently displaced as part of development in the short term.
The displaced total long-term parking demand is therefore 0 spaces on weekdays and weekends.
25
24 See ‘Auburn Transit Center Demand’ under ‘FUTURE USAGE – SHORT-TERM (1-5 YEARS)’ for detailed calculation
methodology.
25 The 2012 Station Access Analysis noted 65% of arrivals by car (park and ride), and the 2011 State of the Stations noted 62% of
riders surveyed arrived by car (park and ride). This is contrary to multiple observations made by the Public Works Division
and therefore disregarded.
26 While the 2012 Station Access Analysis projects that arrivals by car (park and ride) by 2030 will decrease to 47% with land use
projections or 33% with land use projections and Auburn Transit Center-adjacent improvement projects, this is not anticipated
to occur based on previous trends observed by Public Works Department staff, demographic information on Sounder commuter
rail riders, and anticipated decreases in existing transit services to and from Auburn Transit Center.

into the DUC’s total existing parking resources, inclusive of permit-only and private off-street parking
spaces, it cannot be adequately absorbed by only the total available public parking resources in the DUC,
even when considering commuters parking in on- and off-street public parking throughout the entire
DUC.
Parking Scenario 1b: Weekday Peak (11am - 2pm)
New Sound Transit- and Metro-Funded Parking Garages ARE Constructed
Supply Demand Result
1,483 new dedicated off-
street parking spaces
1,873 parking spaces 390 deficit in dedicated off-street
parking spaces

If Sound Transit does construct a second Auburn Transit Center garage, dedicated off-street
parking is still not anticipated to be adequately supplied. Though not only can the new parking
demand be absorbed into the DUC’s total existing parking resources, inclusive of permit-only and
private off-street parking spaces, it can also be adequately absorbed by only the total available public
parking resources in the DUC. Most of these available public parking resources are located within
an approximately ¼-mile walking distance of Auburn Junction, where the bulk of future non-transit
demand is anticipated. There is opportunity for improvement, however, in east-west connections to
parking spaces across C ST NW/SW and the BNSF railroad tracks to the west and across Auburn Ave
N/A ST SE and Auburn Way N/S to the east.

If Sound Transit- and Metro-funded parking garages are not constructed, dedicated off-street
parking is still not anticipated to be adequately supplied even with no Sounder commuter rail service on
weekends. That being said, the new parking demand can be adequately absorbed by the total available
public parking resources in the DUC, even without accounting for off-street public parking resources.
Most of these available public parking resources are located within an approximately ¼-mile walking
distance of Auburn Junction, where the bulk of future non-transit demand is anticipated. There is
opportunity for improvement, however, in east-west connections to parking spaces across C ST NW/SW
and the BNSF railroad tracks to the west and across Auburn Ave N/A ST SE and Auburn Way N/S to
the east.

2.3 – Parking Organization, Management, Planning, and Investment
ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT
The DUC parking system, which includes privately and
municipally owned and/or operated parking spaces, falls
under the authority of various private property owners and at
least 6 departments and divisions within the City. These City
departments and divisions include Planning, Public Works,
Maintenance and Operations, Facilities, Police, and the Court
Clerk.
Some components of the parking system are mainly managed by
one department or division while responsibility for others are
shared by multiple departments and divisions. Responsibilities are
not clearly identified in the ACC. For instance, while signage in
the City’s off-street parking lots is collaboratively executed between
the Facilities Department and Planning Division, the Public
Works Division is identified as the responsible entity for “marking”
off-street permit parking spaces for the City’s vehicles per the ACC.
As such, there is opportunity for both increased coordination
and clarity of roles. Examples of these opportunities include
wayfinding signs (Figure 2.3.1) interspersed throughout the City
(managed by the Public Works Division) that currently directs
drivers towards landmarks only, but not to off-street no-permit
parking in the DUC (managed by the Planning Division) and
clarity of roles so that Planning and Public Works staff at the
Permit Center can either directly provide information on how to
pay or contest a parking citation (processed by the Court Clerk)
or direct customers to the appropriate City contact with the
information.
PLANNING
The City has not undertaken comprehensive planning for parking
in the DUC with regularity, nor has it adopted any framework for
future parking planning efforts.
Downtown Parking Plan (1996)
In fact, the last comprehensive parking plan (the Downtown
Parking Plan) adopted for the DUC dates from 1996. The
impetus for developing the Downtown Parking Plan was threefold:
• Passage of the Commute Trip Reduction law in
Washington State, which mandated employers of a certain
size to undertake measures to reduce single-occupancy
vehicle commutes; the Downtown Parking Plan examined
32
Figure 2.3.1 - Typical
wayfinding sign, which does not
currently direct drivers to off-
street parking
DI.G Page 258 of 302
parking supply and demand management strategies as
part of that mandate;
• Recurring parking concerns expressed by the downtown
business community; and
• Anticipation of parking demand generated by a future
transit hub (Auburn Transit Center).
The scope of the Downtown Parking Plan included the following:
• Extensive parking supply and demand analysis, including
turnover rates, between the hours of 7am and 6pm for all
areas of downtown Auburn29;
• Future demand forecasting, incorporating projections from
the City’s Comprehensive Plan tempered with observations of
development trends in downtown Auburn;
• Identification of significant downtown Auburn parking
issues ; and
• Parking policies to address identified parking issues.
The parking policies fell under the umbrella strategy of
reducing demand for parking, utilizing existing public parking
resources more efficiently, increasing usage of underutilized
private parking through lease and shared parking
arrangements, and providing guidance for future purchase and
establishment of public off-street parking lots in a manner
that is phased, cost effective, and affordable for the City and
downtown business and property owners.
Some specific parking policies directly affecting the City’s
physical parking resources have been adopted, such as the
conversion of on-street parking spaces along the west side
of Auburn Way S, between E Main ST and 2nd ST SE, to
unlimited time, no-permit on-street parking, as it exists today
(Figure 2.3.2).
Most specific parking policies that more indirectly affect
the City’s parking system have been adopted in the ACC.
Policies such as maximum off-street parking requirements
for development, shared parking and other required off-street
parking reduction incentives, and employer incentives for non-
single occupancy vehicle commutes have been adopted in ACC
Chapter 18.52 – Off-Street Parking and Loading, ACC Chapter
33

DI.G Page 259 of 302
18.29 – DUC Downtown Urban Center District, and ACC Chapter 10.02 – Commute Trip Reduction.
Other parking policies have not been adopted and are no longer applicable currently. For example, the
proposed policy of encouraging employees to park in the residential neighborhoods east of Auburn Way
N/S conflicts with concerns raised about non-residents parking on residential streets in the Downtown
Parking Survey. On the other hand, some parking policies were not adopted, but are still applicable, such
as better use of signage to direct drivers to available City off-street parking.
Comprehensive Downtown Parking Management Plan (CDPMP) (2013)
The current CDPMP comes seventeen (17) years subsequent the last concerted comprehensive planning
effort. It contains much of the same elements as the Downtown Parking Plan as the level of assessment
performed is either equivalent or in excess of that in other cities’ plans.
Unlike the previous parking plan however, which was prepared by consultants, the current CDPMP
is a product of City staff. The CDPMP also adds the toolbox, which presents the various best practices
employed in the provision of parking, parking demand management, and operations of a parking system.
It is a collection of tools intended to be updated periodically and should be considered at a glance
whenever the City is looking to fine-tune its parking system. In its current iteration it includes best
practices for provision of special event parking and real-time parking information, parking topics not
addressed by the previous plan.
With the toolbox and as a whole, the CDPMP sets the framework for parking planning at a specific
point in time and allows for flexibility to update its contents to suit future parking needs.
INVESTMENT
The City’s current investment in the provision of off-street parking in the future is based on a two-pronged
fee-in-lieu-of strategy.
All Auburn Junction development, per the Auburn Junction Design Guidelines, must provide required residential
parking spaces on-site, though the same does not apply to non-residential uses. Although required non-
residential parking spaces do not need to be provided on-site, a fee-in-lieu-of payment30 is required to be
made towards a fund for a future parking structure in the DUC if the non-residential demand cannot be
adequately fulfilled by existing on- and off-street public parking resources31.
DUC development at large also have the option for fee-in-lieu-of payments per ACC Section 18.29.060(H)
as an alternative to provision of required spaces on-site32. Unlike the fee-in-lieu-of payments for Auburn
Junction development, however, neither the Downtown Urban Center Design Standards nor the ACC direct these
payments toward funding a future parking structure in the DUC.
34
30 No per space fee-in-lieu-of payment is defined. Assessed on a case-by-case basis.
31 The radius from an Auburn Junction development within which existing on- and off-street public parking resources may be
considered “supply” is not defined.
32 The maximum number of required on-site parking spaces allowed via fee-in-lieu-of payments is not defined.
DI.G Page 260 of 302
2.4 – Parking Operations, Maintenance, and Marketing and Communications
OPERATIONS
Operation of the DUC parking system falls to the City for on-
street parking spaces and off-street public and permit parking lots
and private property owners for off-street parking lots located on
their own property.
Activities associated with parking operations are minimal. None of
the City’s on-street parking spaces are metered, so operation is no
more than ingress and egress from these spaces. Additionally, no
off-street parking lot operated by the City or privately owned ever
“opens” or “closes” in the DUC by way of gates or personnel. The
only operational activity for parking is undertaken by Multicare
Auburn Medical Center, which contracts out to a private company
for operation of its complimentary valet service (Figure 2.4.1).
OPERATIONS – SPECIAL EVENTS
Several seasonal events (Figure 2.4.2) currently draw big crowds
to downtown Auburn and introduce additional demand into the
existing parking system, while sometimes simultaneously reducing
available parking supply.
Activities associated with the operation of the parking system
on event days, like non-event days, is similarly minimal. No
personnel direct drivers to parking for the Auburn International
Farmers Market, which takes place weekly in the Auburn Transit
Center plaza during summer months. Nor do any personnel direct
drivers to parking for the Auburn Good Ol’ Days festival, which
takes place annually in the vicinity of E/W Main Street and closes
several streets. Maps of parking locations on event days are not
available online for either event and are generally not required for
permit approval of special events.
OPERATIONS – RATES, FEES, ENFORCEMENT,
AND FINES
RATES
No rates for hourly or daily parking have been established
for the City. The City’s on- and off-street parking spaces are
available to drivers who park for the short-term or for the
evening at no cost. Likewise, privately owned and operated
off-street parking lots in the City do not charge for customer
and visitor parking.

ST for the Auburn Good Ol’

events that draw big crowds to

DI.G Page 261 of 302
FEES
The City charges a $10 per month permit parking fee for parking in its off-street permit parking lots.
Permit parking is available for business owners, employees, downtown residents, commuters who are
residents of Auburn (until 2014), and Green River Community College students. Parking permits are
acquired at the City’s Permit Center. Fees for permit parking are established administratively by the
Planning Division.
Privately owned and operated off-street parking lots may assess monthly parking fees for its tenants
as well. Data for how many private property owners assess such a fee and how much they charge is
unavailable.
ENFORCEMENT
For City owned and/or operated on- and off-street parking spaces, 2 parking enforcement officers in the
Police Department enforce maximum time limits, amongst other parking regulations, and impound
abandoned vehicles.
Enforcement in off-street parking lots owned and operated by private parties varies; typically, private
property owners contract out for towing services on larger off-street parking lots.
FINES
The City issued 3,383 parking citations in 2011 and levies a variety of fines for parking violations cited.
These fines include $25 for parking in excess of the maximum allowed time for on- or off-street parking
($35 if not paid within 15 days of the parking citation’s issuance) and $30 for violations of loading zone
restrictions. Other parking violations with no fines defined include parking in a no-parking zone and
parking too far away from the curb.
Fines for parking citations are paid and processed at the Court Clerk. Many parking citations can
be waived by participation in community service for non-profits at a rate of $10 waived per hour
volunteered.
Fines for improper parking in privately owned and operated off-street parking lots are established by
private property owners. Towing fees are set by the companies that private property owners contract
towing services to.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the City’s on-street parking, such as striping of spaces and signage, clearly falls to the
Maintenance and Operations Division. Maintenance of the City’s off-street parking lots, on the other hand,
is not as clearly designated in code or in practice.
While the Facilities Department currently maintains off-street parking lot signs, the Planning Division
designates off-street public and permit parking spaces, processes parking permit fees, and otherwise manages
the City’s off-street parking resources.
Both on- or off-street parking owned and/or operated by the City is swept and restriped on a more or less
regular basis, but no formal maintenance schedule or plan exists. Likewise, private off-street parking is
required to be consistent with the applicable parking code at construction, but is not explicitly mandated by
36 DI.G Page 262 of 302
any City code section to perform specific maintenance per a formal
schedule.
MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS
The City’s parking philosophy and parking policies require further
refinement through the CDPMP as neither are currently clearly
defined. Regarding the former, the existing Downtown Parking
Plan does offer overall direction for the downtown parking. The
Downtown Parking Plan, however, dates from 1996 and is not an
actively referenced document for downtown parking policymaking.
The City’s parking policies and fines themselves are contained in
Auburn City Code, rather than at a centralized location on the
City’s website, and occasionally contradict with what is signed.
There are also opportunities for improvement in promoting City’s
off-street permit parking program, administered by the Planning
Division at the Permit Center, on the City’s website and on off-
street permit parking lot signage. Avenues of promotion beyond
the City are currently limited to the passing of information from
the Auburn Downtown Association (ADA) and Auburn Area
Chamber of Commerce to its members.
The question of how to obtain a parking permit and where off-
street permit parking exists for the general public is typically
answered at the Permit Center, where a map of off-street parking
available in the City is available. There is no map, however, that
identifies the on--street parking spaces available to the general
public.
At on-street parking spaces , the City has installed signs that
identify time limits, although these signs’ designs are not uniform
On the other hand, signs with ‘FREE PARKING’ (Figure
2.4.3) in a large-sized font proclaim available public parking at
each City owned and/or operated off-street parking lot. Due to
permit parking spaces interspersed amongst public parking spaces
(Figure 2.4.4), while signed and marked appropriately, drivers
have expressed confusion deciphering whether a parking space was
designated for public or permit parking.

3. Parking Case Studies
3.1 – Parking Organization, Management, Planning, and Investment
ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT
Location(s): City of San Diego
Approach: One point of contact for all parking, multiple
departments with collaborative authority over the
parking system.
Key Points: • The primary point of contact for the public is
the ‘Parking Administration’, which processes
residential parking permits, payment of
parking citations, and provides general parking
information from the City.
• Behind the scenes, however, one department
or division is clearly defined as the ultimate
authority for a certain component of the parking
system
Location(s): City of Vancouver, B.C.
Approach: One point of contact for on-street parking, one
point of contact for off-street parking, authority
over the parking system split along the same lines.
Key Points: • The primary on-street parking point of contact
for the public is Engineering Services, which
processes residential and commercial on-street
parking permits, payment of on-street parking
citations, requests for on-street parking meters,
and all other on-street parking related matters.
• The primary off-street parking point of contact
for the public is Easypark (Figure 3.1.1), a
non-profit corporation owned by the City, which
processes off-street parking permits, payment of
off-street parking citations, and all other matters
related to off-street parking.
Location(s): City of Champaign, IL, City of Lynchburg, VA,
City of Monterey, CA
Approach: One point of contact for all parking, one
department or parking authority with control over

DI.G Page 264 of 302
the parking system.
Key Points: • The one department or parking authority
usually does not have control over parking
standards for private development and
enforcement of parking regulations.
PLANNING
As mentioned previously, the CDPMP matches or exceeds the
level of assessment performed in other cities’ parking plans.
Where they differ is when cities choose to undertake an effort to
produce or procure a parking plan.
Location(s): City of Bellingham
Approach: Financial shortfalls in the budget.
Location(s): City of Pasadena, CA
Approach: Struggling downtown and the desire to spur new
development (Figure 3.1.2).
Location(s): City of Redwood City, CA
Approach: Anticipation of new development and visitors who
will mostly arrive by car.
Location(s): City of Ventura, CA
Approach: Simultaneous with update of Downtown Specific
Plan.
INVESTMENT
Of the other cities’ parking plans surveyed, the Downtown
Redmond Parking Study from 2008 examines the various options
available for financing downtown parking infrastructure most
comprehensively. The options below33, however, are not exhaustive
nor meant to be mutually exclusive (use of multiple funding
sources is the rule rather than exception for public financing).
Options Affecting Customers
Approach: Event surcharges
Key Points: • Ticketing fees that are authorized by a public
39
33 Updated to include current financing options available and not identified in the study.
Figure 3.1.2 - A dilapidated
building in Old Pasadena in
the 1980s (above) and the same

DI.G Page 265 of 302
facilities district, such as the one established for the ShoWare Center in the City of Kent.
Approach: On-street parking fees
Key Points: • Parking meters and/or permits.
Approach: Parking fine revenues
Key Points: • N/A
Options Affecting Businesses
Approach: Business improvement area (BIA)
Key Points: • Assessment on business owners based on square footage, assessed land value, and/or
business and operation (B&O) taxes
• Useful for funding parking operations and marketing
Options Affecting Property Owners
Approach: Local improvement district (LID)
Key Points: • Assessment on property owners to repay bonds sold to finance improvement
• Benefit to the land must be more intense than to the rest of the city and must be actual,
physical, and material, and not merely speculative or conjectural
• Useful for funding capital development (ex. parking structure)
• Useful as one component of revenue bond without the need for general obligation bond
backing (and drawing down the available debt capacity of the city)
Options Affecting Developers
Approach: Fee-in-lieu-of parking
Key Points: N/A
Approach: Options affecting developers – public/private development partnerships
Key Points: • Ex. public acquisition of land and sale or lease of land/air rights not needed for parking
• Ex. private development of mixed-use development with sale or lease back of the public
parking portion upon completion, a turnkey project
Options Affecting the General Public
Approach: General obligation bonds
Key Points: • Bonds issued to finance parking improvements underwritten by the general fund when
40 DI.G Page 266 of 302
repayment of debt is unable to be serviced by parking revenues alone
• Bonds can be issued by public vote or council decree
• Legal limit for all voter-approved debt in a city is 7.5% of assessed property values; non-
voted debt is 1.5% of assessed property values
Approach: Refinancing general obligation bonds
Key Points: • Refinancing existing debt and shifting savings from the general fund to debt coverage for
parking improvements
Approach: Revenue bonds
Key Points: • Bonds issued to finance parking improvements underwritten by parking and other
specific revenues rather than by the general fund; however, unless utilization and revenue
projections (such as LID revenues) are strong and predictable enough to cover debt and
operations and provide a coverage cushion, general obligation bonds may still be required
• Legal limit for debt is not affected, unless general obligation bond backing is required
Approach: 63-20 financing
Key Points: • Bonds (tax-exempt) issued by a non-profit corporation on behalf of the city
• Financed assets must be “capital” and must be turned over free and clear to the
government by the time that bonded indebtedness is retired
Approach: Public facilities districts (PFD)
Key Points: • An independent taxing authority and district under Washington State statue that may
charge fees for the use of its facilities, levy an admissions tax not exceeding 5%, and impose
a vehicle parking tax not exceeding 10%
• State law also allows PFDs to impose two different types of sales and use taxes: local sales
and use taxes of up to 0.033% to finance regional centers and local sales and use taxes up
to 0.2% to finance, design, construct, remodel, maintain, or operate public facilities (if
approved by voters)
Approach: Downtown and neighborhood commercial districts
Key Points: • Uses incremental increases in local sales and use tax revenue subsequent establishment of
the district to finance community revitalization projects, such as “publicly owned or lease
facilities”
Approach: Community revitalization financing
Key Points: • Uses incremental increases in property taxes to finance parking improvements
• Tax “increment area” must be established with approval from local governments imposing
at least 75% of the regular property taxes
41DI.G Page 267 of 302
• Tax increment is calculate at 75% of any increase in assessed property value
Approach: Local revitalization financing
Key Points: • Uses incremental increases in local sales and use tax revenues and property tax revenues
within the “revitalization area”, additional funds from other local public sources, and a
state contribution to finance parking improvements
• Tax increment is calculate at 75% of any increase in assessed property value
• State contribution applications are currently closed
Approach: State and federal grants
Key Points: • No current grants for downtown parking structures have been found
Approach: Parking fund
Key Points: • Establishes parking commissions and funding mechanisms for parking improvements and
maintenance and operations
Approach: General fund contribution
Key Points: • For a one-time capital improvement or on-going contributions to maintenance and
operations of a downtown parking system
42 DI.G Page 268 of 302
3.2 – Parking Operations, Maintenance, and Marketing and Communications
OPERATIONS
Location(s): Various
Approach: Parking meters and/or pay stations as a tool to
promote parking turnover; act as a means of
distributing limited amount of on-street spaces in
commercial areas where demand exceeds supply;
provide short-term parking spaces for shopping or
personal errands; improve traffic circulation and
economic viability of downtown commercial areas
by maximizing the number of patron visits; and
to generate revenue for the city.
Key Points: • Individual conventional meters that accept coins
and credit cards (City of Salem) (Figure 3.2.1)
• Individual “smart” meters that accept coins,
credit cards, and pay-by-phone, with different
prices at different times of the day; has resulted
in higher revenues and fewer parking citations,
but may result in less turnover (City of San
Francisco) (Figure 3.2.2)
• Individual “smart” meters that accept coins and
credit cards, resets any remaining parking time
available to zero when a car leaves, and prohibits
drivers from paying for more time when the car
has already parked for the maximum time limit
applicable to the parking space (City of Santa
Monica)
• Conventional pay-and-display pay stations that
accept coins and credit cards (City of Boulder)
(Figure 3.2.3)
Location(s): City of Tacoma
Approach: Parking operations and maintenance contracted
out to Republic Parking
Key Points: • Since 1987, Republic Parking has provided daily
operational oversight for 2,500 parking spaces
located within the city’s lots and garages
• The city’s budget for 2011-2012 allocated
$1,214,800 for operations and maintenance of
43
Figure 3.2.1/3.2.2/3.2.3 - Meters
from Salem, San Francisco, and
Boulder, respectively (top to
bottom).
DI.G Page 269 of 302
its parking facilities; this includes $20,000 for
Republic Parking’s management fee of 1.5% of
net parking revenues and the remainder for ‘out
of pocket’ expenses to operate and maintain its
parking facilities
Location(s): Research Drive Parking Garage, Duke University
(Figure 3.2.4)
Approach: Environmental and parking operation efficiency
best practices
Key Points: • Received 2012 International Parking Institute
Award of Excellence
• Environmentally sensitive design that
incorporates vegetated canopies on the roof,
vegetated walls, and rainwater-collecting cisterns
• Real-time space availability display boards
(spaces available on each level)
• Automated entries and exits and an express
ramp for frequent users using vehicle
identification technology
• Pay stations for payment prior to leaving rather
than payment at exits
Location(s): 123 Baxter Street Garage, New York (Figure
3.2.5)
Approach: Land use and parking operation efficiency
through use of an automatic mechanical parking
system (a la a vending machine)
Key Points: • Entire process for parking or retrieval of a car
takes around 2 minutes
• Occupies less space than conventional garages,
which makes it especially practical for high-
density locations
• One attendant “operates” the entire garage
• Potential inefficient ingress and egress during
periods of overwhelming demand, such as
morning and evening rush hour
• High initial investment

• Potential fire code limitations
• Potential for mechanical failure, as some
systems have experienced, trapping vehicles
inside the garage
OPERATIONS – SPECIAL EVENTS
Location(s): River Days, Renton
Approach: Shuttles from off-site parking facilities and
extensive information provided
Key Points: • Complimentary shuttles move people between
off-site parking facilities and the festival
• Information provided online include directions
to parking lots and garages, the free shuttle to
non-downtown parking, and location and timing
of street closures (Figure 3.2.6)
Source(s): “Special Event Parking Basics”, Campus Safety
Magazine
Approach: Parking operation efficiency and safety best
practices
Key Points: • Changing cashier locations accommodates
queues and promote faster entrances and exits
• Payment upon entry prevents bottlenecks at
exits
• Limiting cash transactions reduces delay
• Make multiple entrances and exits available
• Designated pedestrian walkways quickly and
safely move visitors to and from garage

congested again
Key Points: • During the first 6 months of operation (January – June 2011), revenue exceeded
projections by around $60,000 ($364,782.41 vs. $303,510.69)
• Bus pass sales doubled and off-street parking lot occupancy increased to near-capacity
for University of Washington (UW) – Tacoma
FEES
Location(s): City of Kent, City of Olympia, City of Puyallup, City of Renton, City of Tacoma
Approach: Charging for monthly off-street parking
Key Points: • Data includes monthly off-street parking lots and garages owned and/or operated by

• Each wireless sensor is self-powered, requires
4-6 minutes to install, and costs $300/installation
and $120/year in software licensing fees (per USA
Today in a 2011 article)
• App provides a map of parking locations, rates,
and types (time limits) (Figure 3.2.12); allows
for adding inventory to its map database, even
without paying for and installing sensors
• App can search for parking in proximity by
destination and also direct drivers via voice
navigation to the nearest space

4. The Parking Best Practices Toolbox
4.1 – How to Use the Toolbox
The Parking Best Practices Toolbox is a collection of general best practices employed in the provision
of parking, parking demand management, and operations of a parking system. Experiences of other
jurisdictions examined and guiding principles from planning and parking literature drove what best
practices ended up in the toolbox.
The best practices contained herein, however, are not meant to be static; some may be removed and other
may be added to the framework of the toolbox as parking patterns and results from parking research
continue to evolve. In addition, what is a parking best practice generally is not necessarily a parking best
practice specifically applicable to the DUC.
As such, the Parking Best Practices Toolbox has been structured as such:
• Description of the best practice;
• Whether or not the best practice is currently implemented;
• The action proposed for the best practice (continuation, modification, implementation, or no action); and
• Where to find additional information, if available.
In short, the toolbox embodies an at-a-glance evaluation of best practices applicable generally and
specifically, in the CDPMP’s current iteration.
Please turn to the next page for the Parking Best Practices Toolbox (Figure 4.1.1).

1 Current demand does not warrant best practice; current parking supply is sufficient; citizens not interested in best practice
2 Current transit service levels and development patterns not feasible to expect interest in completely car-free lifestyle
3 Current deisre to address parking impacts of anticipated development; parking minimums are already more generous in the DUC
than in the rest of the City
4 Currently no parking structures are planned
5 Current demand does not warrant best practice; unknown when sufficient demand is anticipated
6 Currently too expensive; not intuitive to use when parking remains available, as in the DUC overall

5. The Parking Action Plan
5.1 – Near-Term Recommendations
Best Practice
5.1.1 Timed parking
Action: Modify
Description: Revise parking time limits for the City’s on- and off-street public parking spaces to 3 hours
throughout the DUC
Pros: • Allows visitors to patronize multiple businesses at a leisurely pace, no matter where they
park
• Reduces the confusion of brought upon by a myriad of time limits and signs, of which
some currently conflict with each other, even on the same street
Cons: • Lacks the nuance of area-specific time limits that would address the various needs for
different types of parking in the DUC
• Additional costs will be incurred to replace signs if redevelopment and increased demand
necessitate area-specific time limits again
• May be more difficult for parking enforcement officers to discern cars parked all day (cars
of commuters and downtown employees, for example)
Best Practice
5.1.2 Parking policy transparency
Action: Implement
Description: Remove all code referencing the City’s on- and off-street parking, create a new parking
database maintained by staff, and insert new code specifying available parking that adopts
the parking database by reference
Pros: • Eliminates code that currently conflicts with on-street parking as-signed/as-marked or is
outdated
• Parking database can be updated administratively
• Parking database can serve double-duty as public information on where to park in the
DUC
Cons: • Parking database would require time to develop
Best Practice
5.1.3 Centralized City parking webpage
Action: Implement
DI.G Page 280 of 302
Description: Update website to include easy-to-locate map and information for on- and off-street public
and permit parking available in the City (including potentially a ‘Where to Park If This
Area is Full’ feature for areas and lots that experience peak parking occupancy in excess of
85%), pictures of all signs and explanations of what they mean, and better marketing for
the City’s off-street permit parking program
Pros: • Centralizes information for DUC parking
• Provides information for alternative parking options when the desired parking lot or street
is full
• Provides information to help discern whether a parking space is public or permit,
addressing the difficulty of doing so raised in the Downtown Parking Survey
• Relatively easy and inexpensive to implement
Cons: • In itself, may not be the most intuitive tool for finding parking spaces, especially for those
that do not plan ahead or use smartphones
Best Practice
5.1.4 Easy-to-read on-street parking signs
Action: Implement
Description: Design and install easy-to-read signs that identify availability and rules of on-street public
parking
Pros: • Relatively easy and inexpensive to implement
Cons: • Additional costs will be incurred to replace signs if redevelopment and increased demand
necessitate area-specific time limits again
55DI.G Page 281 of 302
56
5.2 – Short-Term Recommendations (1-5 Years)
Best Practice
5.2.1 On-street permit parking
Action: Modify
Description: Expand and modify residential parking zone beyond D ST NW per demand; begin by
providing 2 free parking permits per single-family residence, duplex unit, or townhouse
unit with less than 2 off-street parking spaces (garage or paved), 1 free parking permit per
single-family residence, duplex, unit, or townhouse unit with 2 or more off-street parking
spaces (garage or paved), and 1 free parking permit per multifamily unit with less than 1
off-street parking space (garage or paved) per unit; charge nominal fee for additional permit
and raise fees as demand necessitates; tailor to each residential parking zone by inventory of
on-street parking supply
Pros: • Provides long-term parking for residents and prevents other cars from parking all day in
spaces convenient and valuable to residents, thereby encouraging downtown employees and
commuters to obtain off-street parking permits
• Free permits to a certain extent is more or less in line with the overwhelming Downtown
Parking Survey response of not having to pay for parking
• Reinforces a “customer-first” ethic amongst downtown employees who choose to park on-
street all day by providing impetus to purchase an off-street parking permit
Cons: • Past opposition has stalled implementation of residential parking zones in areas just
beyond the DUC
Best Practice
5.2.2 Parking spillover area planning, downtown adjacent
Action: Implement
Description: Consider areas expected to experience impacts from DUC parking, even if not technically
located within the DUC
Pros: • Addresses potential parking spillover impacts from the DUC so that parking problems are
not simply shifted away from the DUC into surrounding areas
Cons: • Past opposition has stalled implementation of residential parking zones in areas just
beyond the DUC
Best Practice
5.2.3 Single contact for all City parking matters
Action: Implement
Description: Designate one department or division that is the single contact for all parking-related
matters in the City, despite whatever the organizational structure is behind-the-scenes
DI.G Page 282 of 302
57
Pros: • Reduces confusion of who is in charge of parking in the City and increases transparency,
as perceived by the public; is a more user-friendly approach to interactions with the public
Cons: • N/A
Best Practice
5.2.4 Regular readjustment of current parking practices
Action: Implement
Description: Adjust permit rates, time limits, residential permit zones, etc. to respond to current parking
conditions in the DUC at least every 5th year in the parking planning cycle
Pros: • Responds to current parking conditions in the DUC, implements current parking best
practices for the City, and modifies or eliminates failing parking policies
Cons: • Additional costs will be incurred if additional consultation and staffing from private
parking consultants are required for implementation rather than City staff alone
Best Practice
5.2.5 Regular reevaluation of current parking conditions
Action: Implement
Description: Evaluate supply and demand of parking in the DUC at peak weekday hours (11am-2pm)
every year, comprehensively every 4th year in the parking planning cycle
Pros: • Evaluates current parking conditions in the DUC to guide implementation of current
parking best practices for the City and modification or elimination of failing parking
policies
Cons: • Additional costs will be incurred if additional consultation and staffing from private
parking consultants are required for implementation rather than City staff alone
Best Practice
5.2.6 Planning for investment in public parking, per supply deficit
Action: Implement
Description: Evaluate funding options, existing and potential overflow from Auburn Transit Center,
and implement a multi-faceted plan to finance additional public parking, per supply deficit
observed
Pros: • Addresses potential public parking supply deficit identified by the CDPMP
• Reduces risk with diversity of funding options utilized
Cons: • Does not consider measures to reduce parking demand and congestion in problem areas of
downtown without expanding the physical infrastructure of public parking
DI.G Page 283 of 302
58
Best Practice
5.2.7 Parking ambassadors
Action: Implement
Description: Assign parking ambassador responsibilities to existing parking enforcement and downtown
patrol officers, including provision of information (and informal safety by parking
enforcement officers)
Pros: • Generates goodwill
• Reinforces a “customer-first” ethic by pointing people in the right direction in terms
of destinations and parking in the DUC, including alternative parking options when the
desired parking lot or street is full
• Decentralizes the delivery of information centralized at the City’s Permit Center and
website
• Provides additional transparency to parking policies
• Diversifies the role of existing parking enforcement officers
Cons: • Requires coordination between multiple departments and divisions and relies on one
representative to convey each department or division’s respective parking policies
• Additional costs will be incurred if additional consultation and staffing from private
parking operators are required for implementation
Best Practice
5.2.8 Planning for special events
Action: Implement
Description: Require organizers to designate event parking, distribute information for event parking,
make multiple exits available, and establish pedestrian paths
Pros: • Addresses difficulties experienced during event parking, as expressed in responses from
the Downtown Parking Survey
• Addresses potential parking spillover impacts from the DUC so that parking problems
from special events are not simply shifted away from the DUC into surrounding areas
• Generates goodwill with efficient organization of special events
Cons: • N/A
Best Practice
5.2.9 Soft enforcement
Action: Implement
DI.G Page 284 of 302
59
Description: Develop and implement 3-strikes parking enforcement policy wherein the first 2 strikes
consist of dismissible tickets and education on where to park
Pros: • Generates good will
• Allows those genuinely unfamiliar with downtown parking an opportunity to park
“correctly”
• Reinforces a “customer-first” ethic amongst downtown employees who choose to park on-
street all day by providing impetus to purchase an off-street parking permit
Cons: • Off-street permit parking demand already exceeds supply
• May shift cars to unlimited time on-street parking on residential streets beyond the DUC
Best Practice
5.2.10 Easy-to-read off-street parking signs
Action: Modify
Description: Design and install easy-to-read signs that identify availability of off-street public parking,
identifier/location of off-street parking lot, and alternative parking options
Pros: • Relatively easy and inexpensive to implement
• Reduces perceived last mile when off-street parking lot is easy to identify and remember
• Reduces parking demand and congestion in problem areas of downtown without
expanding physical infrastructure of parking by shifting demand to underutilized off-street
parking lots
Cons: • May work too well, shifting parking supply problems to formerly underutilized off-street
parking lots
Best Practice
5.2.11 Parking alerts, for construction/maintenance
Action: Implement
Description: Alert interested parties and drivers through the City’s website, emails, text alerts, and pre-
closure on-location signage so that they are not caught off-guard when regularly available
parking becomes unavailable
Pros: • Provides additional transparency to parking availability
• Allows people to plan for alternative parking and/or transportation options
• Decentralizes the delivery of information centralized at the City’s Permit Center and
website (through text alerts and on-location signage)
• Utilizes existing City communication channels (website and construction notices)
DI.G Page 285 of 302
60
Cons: • Additional costs will be incurred if additional technological resources are required (text
alerts)
• May become unwanted information overload if implemented incorrectly
Best Practice
5.2.12 Trailblazer signs
Action: Implement
Description: Direct drivers to available off-street parking
Pros: • Decentralizes the delivery of information centralized at the City’s Permit Center and
website
• Relatively easy and inexpensive to implement
Cons: • May work too well, shifting parking supply problems exclusively to off-street parking lots
• Additional costs will be incurred to replace signs if comprehensive downtown signage
program is implemented in the future
DI.G Page 286 of 302
61
5.3 – Long-Term Recommendations (6-10 Years)
Best Practice
5.3.1 Frequent transit access, citywide/regional
Action: Modify
Description: Evaluate demand and petition for demand-appropriate reductions to current 30-minute
headways and expansion of evening service
Pros: • Reduces parking demand and congestion by making trips to and from downtown more
enticing and feasible, without expanding physical infrastructure of parking
• Expands the customer base for the DUC
• Responds to anticipated growth in demand required to support increase from current
levels of transit access
Cons: • May be difficult for buy-in from cash-strapped transit agencies
Best Practice
5.3.2 Timed parking
Action: Modify
Description: Revise parking time limits for the City’s on- and off-street public parking spaces to area-
specific time limits as-needed
Pros: • Provides nuanced time limits that address various needs for different types of parking in
the DUC, especially areas with high peak occupancy
• Increases the ultimate number of visitors to the DUC by increasing turnover
Cons: • May increase confusion brought upon by a myriad of time limits and signs
• Additional costs will be incurred to replace existing 3-hour time-limit signs
Best Practice
5.3.3 Parking spillover area planning, downtown adjacent
Action: Implement
Description: Continue to consider areas expected to experience impacts from DUC parking, even if not
technically located within the DUC
Pros: • Addresses potential parking spillover impacts from the DUC so that parking problems are
not simply shifted away from the DUC into surrounding areas
• May be easier to implement in the long-term as potential parking spillover impacts from
the DUC become more identifiable
DI.G Page 287 of 302
62
Cons: • Past opposition has stalled implementation of residential parking zones in areas just
beyond the DUC
Best Practice
5.3.4 Frequent transit access, around downtown
Action: Implement
Description: Evaluate demand and petition for demand-appropriate reductions to current 30-minute and
1-hour headways, expansion of service area by rerouting, and expansion of evening service
Pros: • Reduces parking demand and congestion in problem areas of downtown by reducing the
last mile between parking space and destination, without expanding physical infrastructure
of parking
• Responds to anticipated growth in demand required to support increase from current
levels of transit access
Cons: • May be difficult for buy-in from cash-strapped transit agencies
• Additional costs will be incurred if additional consultation and staffing from private
paratransit operators for implementation is required
