Until the latter part of the last century, Auburn was a relatively free-standing community separated from the Seattle and Tacoma urban cores by miles of farmland. As such, downtown provided a full range of goods and services to serve local needs. Starting in the 1960's, improved highway connections made a larger regional area accessible for employment, shopping, services and entertainment. Concurrently, downtown Auburn, like many smaller city downtowns, began a long period of decline. Over time, fewer goods and services were available in downtown Auburn, and the larger downtown retailers including JC Penney, eventually closed or relocated. Property owners limited investments in maintenance and construction in property. By the 1990's, downtown had reached its nadir but at the same time the seeds for its rebirth were being sown. The City experienced rapid growth outside of the downtown area, bringing thousands of new households into the area. There has also been some modest improvement downtown. Auburn Regional Medical Center has undergone several expansions making downtown a center for medical excellence. The City partnered with Sound Transit and King County Metro to develop Auburn Station. The City selected the location and partnered in the construction of the parking garage and first floor retail space in the expectation that it would serve as a catalyst for redevelopment. The City also built the Auburn Justice Center at the eastern end of Main Street to anchor that area. At the same time, the private sector began to respond to opportunities presented by downtown. Several new buildings were built and a few others renovated. Today, downtown is on the verge of a renaissance, but the legacy of decades of decline remains. Numerous buildings are in poor condition, functionally obsolete and most are not worthy of rehabilitation. Some buildings that have been damaged by earthquakes and fire remain standing, often in poor condition. Vacant lots abound. A number of occupied buildings contain uses inconsistent with a vibrant downtown. Development density is low and not supportive of the City's "Urban Center" designation. Patterns of property ownership (multiple narrow lots) which date back to the 1920's will not support the needs of new development compatible with Auburn's plans and policies. Site acquisition and assembly is often a critical obstacle. 3 Plan Goals The City intends to use a variety of financial and other incentives to promote the redevelopment of downtown in a manner consistent with: • The Auburn Downtown Plan (May 2001) element of the City Comprehensive Plan • The City Comprehensive Plan (updated annually) • Auburn Downtown Urban Center designation (as approved by King County and the Puget Sound Regional Council) • The City Economic Development Strategies document (2005) • Downtown Design and Code Amendments (pending at time of writing) Plan Financial Strategies 1. The City intends to use its current financial resources (including its nonvoted general obligation debt capacity) to acquire strategically located parcels. These will ultimately be offered for sale on a public competitive basis, sometimes in conjunction with other parcels owned by the City. Under the competitive process, potential developers will be required to demonstrate an ability to bring on-line development compatible with City plans, ordinances and policies including, as an example, the extent to which a proiect may serve as a catalyst for the revitalization and renewal of the downtown area. Development proposals will, among other items, be evaluated upon total return on the City's expend itureinvestment. in no event will total FetuFn on In so doing, the sales price wilt may take into account such considerations asbe • Projected construction sales tax accruing to the City, • Projected property tax accruing to the City, • Potential real estate excise taxes earned by the City in connection with the sale of improved properties, • Projected sales taxes resulting from retail development and from purchases made by residents of the project within Auburn; • Leasehold taxes-asaffprepfiate revenues: and, • Other factors as may be deemed appropriate. Fevitaloza.ien 2. The City will consider waivers of traffic impact and storm drainage fees. 3. Application of the City's adopted program for a 10 year waiver of property taxes for residential portions of appropriate projects. 4 4. The City will consider the formation of additional local improvement districts in the downtown area to help pay for infrastructure such as street, sidewalk and storm drainage improvements, and utility relocation. 5. The City will apply for State and Federal grants, as available, for economic development and for infrastructure improvements. 6. The City will work cooperatively with other governmental agencies including King County and Sound Transit, to bring financial resources to bear on improvements that will benefit both the City and other entities. 7. If made possible through amendments to existing law, the City may use tax increment financing to encourage improvements within the downtown community renewal area. 5 DOWNTOWN PROJECT AREA RESIDENTIAL DISPLACEMENT PLAN Introduction The Auburn community has a substantial inventory of affordable housing. Its supply of housing that is accessible and affordable to low, moderate and middle-income groups is one of the largest in King County. The City of Auburn supports the improvement of community's existing low income housing supply and during the last three decades has supported the development of its human services infrastructure as well as housing addressing the needs of disadvantaged populations. The City of Auburn does not anticipate that its actions will directly displace residents in the renewal area. It will seek to avoid displacement and explore alternative actions which will limit displacement of residents in those areas designated for revitalization. However, in the event such displacement does occur, the City will utilize its resources to mitigate the adverse effects of displacement. Plan to Minimize Displacement In order to avoid and/or minimize displacement, the City of Auburn will emphasize projects which: • Do not demolish buildings housing low income residents. • Emphasize projects that require no relocation or only temporary relocation. • Attempt to focus revitalization efforts on properties whose use is substantially commercial rather residential. • Encourage the redevelopment of residential properties that are voluntarily sold, not as result of the use of the power of eminent domain. Plan to Assist Displaced Residents For projects where displacement is unavoidable, the City of Auburn will work with local, state and federal agencies and organizations to assist in identifying housing suitable for the relocation of displaced persons. • The programs, services and funding sources of the King County Housing Authority, shall be requested to assist any resident displaced as a result of the project. • The City will collaborate with area human services agencies to identify and facilitate access to existing housing opportunities for residents displaced as a result of revitalization efforts. 6 r • The City will seek to identify programs that provide down payment assistance, rent subsidies, or access to existing affordable housing opportunities in the community. The City will identify and develop a list of public and private multi-family housing complexes that offer affordable housing opportunities within the Auburn community. • The City will collaborate with area realtors to identify housing opportunities suitable for residents in revitalization areas who are being displaced. 7 EX " CO Ll IT RENEW PLA DETAILE T. 5T ST.
