Quarterly Financial Report Through Q3-2016
Executive Summary
This Executive Summary provides an overview of the City’s overall financial position for the
fiscal period ending September 30, 2016, reflecting financial data available as of October 28,
2016.
Through September 2016, General Fund revenues totaled $45.0 million compared to a budget
of $41.7 million, and were $2.5 million higher than the revenues collected during the same
period in 2015. Some notable variances to budget year-to-date include:
• Property tax collections through Q3-2016 totaled $9.9 million, which is 1.6% or
$157,000 above budget expectations and exceed collections in the same period last
year by $421,000, or 4.4%. The majority of property tax revenues are collected
during the months of April and October, coinciding with the due dates for the County
property tax billings. [page 5]
• General Fund retail sales tax revenues totaled $11.0 million, exceeding budget by
2.3% or $243,000, and exceeding 2015 collections by $186,000. The primary area
of significant increase in sales activity compared to 2015 was the services category.
[page 6] Collections in criminal justice sales tax revenues exceeded budget by
$166,000, or 12.9%.
• The Other Taxes category performed better than budget through Q3-2016. City
utility tax revenues exceeded budget by $283,000 or 10.8%, predominately due to
higher than budgeted capital system development revenues collected in the Water,
Sewer and Storm funds. Electric and natural gas tax revenues collected through
September exceeded budget by $222,000 and $78,000, respectively. These
revenues were somewhat offset by an unfavorable variance in telephone tax
collections of $89,000. [page 8] Year-to-date collections of leasehold excise taxes
were $168,000 favorable to budget due to an unbudgeted payment for the Emerald
Downs property which is tribally owned. Gambling excise tax revenues exceeded
budget by $127,000 primarily due to the timing of payments: the City’s main remitter
of card game taxes paid 6 months worth of taxes from 2015 in the current year.
• Building permit revenue through Q3-2016 exceeded budget by $493,000, and
already exceeds year-end budget expectations. This was predominately due to a
higher than anticipated volume of building permits as well as multiple large
commercial building permits issued. [page 10]
• Other licenses and permit revenues exceeded budget expectations by $201,000
primarily due to higher than anticipated revenue collected for plumbing permits. This
increase in revenues was a result of increased construction activity within the City.
One project in particular that contributed to this influx of revenue is the permitting for
the Promenade Apartment Project on 312th Street.
• Development services fees revenues collected year-to-date exceeded budget
expectations by $292,000, or 58.3%. This is predominately due to higher than
anticipated revenues collected for plan check services related to multiple single
family and commercial construction projects within the City. [page 14]
3DI.D Page 32 of 181
Quarterly Financial Report Through Q3-2016
• Culture and recreation revenues exceeded year-to-date budget by $266,000, and
exceeded revenues collected the same period in 2015 by $46,000, or 2.3%.
Revenue sources that were significantly above budget include golf course and
special events revenues. [page 15]
• Year-to-date rents, leases and concession revenues were $137,000 or 26.9% above
budget, and were $71,000 more than collected the same period in 2015. This
favorable variance is attributed to higher than anticipated revenues collected for City
owned facility rentals and parking lot fees. [page 17]
General Fund expenditures through the third quarter of 2016 totaled $46.8 million compared to
a budget of $50.0 million, representing a 6.5% favorable variance to budget. All departments
operated within their allocated budget through Q3-2016 with the exception of the Public Works
department. This department is running over budget YTD through September by $171,000, or
8.2%. The variance to budget is seen in salary and benefit expenditures, as project engineers
are charging more of their time to general fund projects versus transportation and utility projects.
Year-to-date through September General Fund expenditures are $1.2 million, or 2.7%, higher
than the same period last year. Salary and benefit costs increased by $1.4 million, or 5.7%
compared to the same period in 2015. This year-over-year increase is due primarily to an
increase in Council approved FTEs (Full Time Equivalents) and increased costs associated with
healthcare and pension benefits. In addition, charges for services paid to Valley
Communications for 911 services have increased year-over-year by $406,000, or 20.0%.
These increased expenditures were somewhat offset by a reduction in intergovernmental
expenditures by $915,000 as compared to the same period in 2015.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q3-2016
Utility Taxes consist of interfund taxes on City utilities (Water, Sewer, Storm and Solid Waste)
and taxes on external utilities (Electric, Natural Gas, Telephone and Solid Waste). Utility taxes
collected through Q3-2016 totaled $7.7 million and exceeded year-to-date budget by $508,000,
or 7.1%.
Favorable variances in City interfund utility tax, electric tax, natural gas tax and solid waste tax
revenues more than offset lower than expected collections from the telecommunication industry.
City interfund utility tax revenue was $283,000 or 10.8% higher than the year-to-date budget. A
significant portion of this favorability to budget is predominately due to higher than budgeted
capital system development revenues collected in the Water, Sewer and Storm funds.

Intergovernmental revenues include grants (direct and indirect Federal, state and local),
compact revenue from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT), intergovernmental, and state shared
revenues. Collections to date total $4.2 million and were $106,000, or 2.6% higher than budget.
Favorable variances in Criminal Justice High Crime revenues and Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax
revenues offset the reduced revenues received in Federal and State grant monies. Year-to-
date, grant revenues collected are under budget although this is primarily due to the timing of
when grant reimbursement is requested. Effective during the state’s 2016-2017 fiscal year
budget cycle, the City of Auburn qualified for the Criminal Justice High Crime revenue
distribution monies (distributions are made quarterly between July 1, 2016 through June 30,
2017). The eligibility requirements are based upon the City’s crime rate statistics – those Cities
whose crime rate exceeds 125% of the statewide average qualify for the distribution. The first
distribution was received in July and totaled $143,000.

Charges for Services consist of general governmental services, public safety, development
service fees and cultural & recreation fees. Overall, charges for services collected through Q3-
2016 totaled $3.4 million and compare to a year-to-date budget of $2.8 million; they were 1.0%
or $35,000 less than revenues collected the during the same period in 2015.
General governmental revenues through Q3-2016 totaled $62,000 compared to a budget of
$49,000. Budget expectations for these revenues were revised from the prior year due to the
fact that the City no longer provides services to the City of Algona; therefore, the City does not
receive reimbursement for services. The majority of the favorable variance was due to
increased sales related to passport services, which are running $14,000 higher than year-to-
date budget and $8,000 higher than collections the same period in 2015.
Public safety revenues consist of revenues generated for Police Officer extra duty overtime,
where officers are contracted for services and reimbursement is made by the hiring contractor.
Effective June 2014, public safety revenue also includes reimbursement from the Muckleshoot
Indian Tribe (MIT) for a full-time dedicated Police Officer and associated expenditures.
Public safety revenues collected year-to-date totaled $453,000, compared to budget of
$396,000. Year-over-year revenues collected increased by $56,000 – which was a result of a
14.3% increase in billable hours for extra duty overtime, compared to the same period in 2015.

Street Funds
This section provides financial overview of the City’s three street funds for the fiscal period
ending September 30, 2016. The City’s three street funds are: the Arterial Street Fund (Fund
102), the Local Street Fund (Fund 103), and the Arterial Street Preservation Fund (Fund 105).
Capital project expenditures are budgeted primarily based on the collection/disbursement
average for the same period of the prior two years.
Fund 102 – Arterial Street Fund
The Arterial Street Fund is a Special Revenue Fund that is funded by transportation grants,
traffic impact fees, a portion of the City’s gas tax receipts, Public Works Trust Fund loans,
developer contributions, and other sources. There are over 40 separate street projects
budgeted in this fund in 2016. Some of these projects include the South 272nd /South 277th
Street Corridor Improvement Project, the West Main Street Multimodal Corridor and ITS
Improvement Project, and the AWS Corridor Safety Improvement Project (Muckleshoot Plaza to
Dogwood).
Through September 2016, revenues collected totaled $2.3 million and compare to collections of
$2.4 million for the same period in 2015. Expenditures through September totaled $3.0 million
and compare to $3.9 million spent the same period last year. Expenditures for the projects
South 272nd/South 277th Street Corridor Improvements and West Main Street Multimodal
Corridor and ITS Improvements, which constitute nearly 60% of budgeted capital expenditures,
are below budget due to delays in project start times and timing lag between work performance
and the City’s reimbursement of costs incurred.

Fund 103 – Local Street Fund
The Local Street Fund is a Special Revenue Fund where the revenues from sales taxes
on construction are used for local street repairs. Through September 2016 the revenues
in this fund exceeded budget expectations by $504,000, or 38.6%, due to higher than
anticipated sales tax revenues from local construction projects. Expenditures through
September totaled $1.1 million and compare to a year to date budget of $1.2 million.
The majority of expenditures from the Fund’s largest project, 2016 Local Street
Pavement Reconstruction Project, are anticipated to occur in Q4-2016.

Fund 105 – Arterial Street Preservation Fund
The Arterial Street Preservation Fund is a Special Revenue Fund which is primarily funded by a
1.0% utility tax that was adopted by Council in 2008. These utility tax revenues are restricted
for arterial street repair and preservation projects. Some projects budgeted within the Arterial
Street Preservation Fund in 2016 include Pavement Patching and Overlay, the Annual Arterial
and Collector Crack Seal Project, the Auburn Way North Preservation Project and the B Street
NW Reconstruction Project.
Through September 2016 revenues totaled $1.6 million and compare to a budget of $2.1 million.
The difference is mostly due to the Auburn Way North Preservation project being pushed back
to 2017, resulting in $880,000 in budgeted federal grant funding being delayed.
Expenditures through September totaled $862,000, which is approximately 63% of budgeted
expenditures for the period. Actuals are lower than budget primarily due to the Fund’s main
project, Auburn Way North Preservation, being repackaged and sent to bid a second time after
the first round of bidding produced higher-than-expected costs. This project is anticipated to be
rebid in February 2017, affecting the Fund’s 2016 year-end projection significantly. In addition,
the Fund’s next-largest project, B Street NW Reconstruction, remains in the design phase due
to prioritizing grant-funded projects on the verge of expiration. Construction on this project is
anticipated to start in March 2017.

Fund 124 – Mitigation Fees
The Mitigation Fees Fund is a Special Revenue Fund funded from revenue from new
development, which is assessed at the time applications are received for development activity.
These funds are used to mitigate costs associated with City growth. Through Q3-2016,
revenues were significantly above budget expectations, at 255.1% of the annual budgeted
amount. This is due to higher-than-expected transportation, parks and fire impact fee revenues
in the month of July, driven by the construction of The Promenade, a 298-unit apartment
complex in Lea Hill. Another revenue spike is anticipated in Q4-2016 due to the construction of
a 600-unit mixed-use senior and multifamily housing development comprising The Villas and
The Reserve. Expenditures year-to-date are well below budget due to delays in construction
projects funded by these revenues.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q3-2016
Proprietary Funds
Detailed income and expense statements for Enterprise and Internal Service funds can be
found in the Appendices at the end of this report. The format changed in Q1-2016 and, in lieu of
a working capital statement, there are now operating and capital fund reports for most of these
funds showing budget, actual and variance. The operating fund houses all the operating costs
along with debt service and financing obligations. The capital fund shows costs associated with
capital acquisition and construction. Both the operating fund and the capital fund have a
working capital balance. This approach isolates those funds available for capital and cash flow
needs for daily operations, and project managers will know exactly how much working capital is
available for current and planned projects.
Budget Amendment #6, adopted July 2016, moved working capital from the operating funds to
the capital funds along with all the other beginning fund balance adjustments. System
development revenues previously credited to the operating funds are now directed to the
corresponding capital funds.
At the end of the third quarter, the Water Utility had operating income of $3.3 million as
compared with operating income of $3.2 million for the same period in 2015. Water sales
through Q3-2016 totaled 2.71 million hundred cubic feet (ccf), compared to 2.66 million ccf
during the same period in 2015, representing a 2.1% increase. Year-to-date revenues are
10.0% above budget but this is expected to come closer to budget in Q4-2016, as the highest
revenues are historically generated from August through October.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q3-2016
The Cemetery Fund ended the second quarter with a year-to-date operating income of
$167,000 as compared with operating income of $102,000 for the same period in 2015.
Operating expenditures totaled $857,000 in through Q3-2016, compared to $838,000 in the
same period last year. The increase is mainly a result of higher cost of supplies due to
increased inventory costs associated with higher demand.
Internal Service Funds
Operating expenditures within the Insurance Fund represent the premium cost pool that will be
allocated monthly to other City funds over the course of 2016. As a result, this balance will
gradually diminish each month throughout the year.
No significant variances are reported in the Worker’s Compensation, Facilities, Innovation &
Technology, or Equipment Rental Funds.

3. In addition to the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment Application, the Applicants also
submitted an environmental checklist application (File #SEP15-0019) and a rezone
application (File #REZ15-0001).
4. The Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment application seeks to change the comprehensive
plan map designation of the northern 2 of 4 parcels (Parcel numbers 3121059036 &
3121059033) from the current designation of “Light Commercial” to “Light Industrial”.
5. The related rezone application (File #REZ15-0001) seeks to change the zoning designation
of the northern 2 parcels zoning designation from C1, Light Commercial to M1, Light
Industrial and to change the southern 2 parcels under the same ownership (southern two
parcels – Parcel #3121059056 & 13121059010) from C”3, Heavy Commercial” to “M1, Light
Industrial” to correspond. The Applicant identifies in the environmental checklist application
that this is a non-project action.
6. As indicated by the Applicant’s narrative submitted statement with the application, the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and related rezoning have been requested for the
purpose of bringing the entirety of both properties under the same land use designation to
ensure the ability for future redevelopment. Lakeridge Paving Company as lessee to Kana
B LLC is a “construction contractor” business and has plans for further development of the
site to include a future office building and a future building for storage of construction
equipment and vehicles. While certain further future development of the southern two
parcels is capable of being done under the existing C3, Heavy Commercial zoning
designation in effect (office uses and parking structures are allowed) it is complicated by
being subject to different use limitations and zoning development standards.
7. The current Comprehensive Plan designation, zoning classification and current land uses of
the sites and surrounding properties are as follows:

which is classified by the City as a “Principal Arterial” which prescribes a five-lane road with
87 feet of right-of-way. The adjacent street is not currently developed to the “Principal
Arterial” street standard. The site does not border any other roadway rights-of-way.
11. The property is located within the King County portion of the City of Auburn. It was annexed
to the City in 1962 by Ordinance # 1492.
12. Based on historic zoning maps, the subject properties were zoned UNCL, Unclassified from
the time of annexation up until 1987 and then were changed to the second category of
residential zoning of R2, a Single Family Residential (6,000 square foot minimum lot size).
The properties were subsequently changed to a “Light Commercial” comprehensive plan
designation and a “C1, Light Commercial” zoning classification.
13. The two properties slope gently to the west at the base of the transition in grade from the
western face of a steep hillside to the valley floor.
14. The purpose of the City’s Comprehensive Plan document is to provide a policy basis for the
future zoning changes to ensure that the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance are
consistent as required by the following city code provision:
“ACC 14.22.050 Conformance and consistency.
The zoning, land division and other development codes contained or referenced within
Auburn City Code shall be consistent with and implement the intent of the
comprehensive plan. Capital budget decisions shall be made in conformity with the
comprehensive plan. “
15. The City code provides certain criteria for decisions for comprehensive plan amendments as
follows:
“ACC 14.22.110 Decision criteria for plan amendments.
A. The comprehensive plan was developed and adopted after significant
study and public participation. The principles, goals, objectives and policies
contained therein shall be granted substantial weight when considering a
proposed amendment. Therefore, the burden of proof for justifying a proposed

amendment rests with the applicant, who must demonstrate that the request
complies with and/or relates to the following decision criteria:
1. The proposed change will further and be consistent with the goals and
objectives of the plan and the plan will remain internally consistent;
2. Whether the capacity to provide adequate services is diminished or
increased;
3. Assumptions upon which the comprehensive plan is based are found to
be invalid;
4. A determination of change or lack of change in conditions or
circumstances has occurred since the adoption of the latest amendment to the
specific section of the comprehensive plan that dictates the need for a proposed
amendment;
5. If applicable, a determination that a question of consistency exists
between the comprehensive plan and Chapter 36.70A RCW, the countywide
planning policies for either King and/or Pierce County, as appropriate, and Vision
2040: Growth and Transportation Strategy for the Puget Sound Region.”
CONCLUSIONS
1. The first criterion is that the change must further and be consistent with the goals
and objectives of the plan and the plan will remain internally consistent.
The Applications are vested to the Comprehensive Plan in effect prior to the adoption of
substantially revised Comprehensive Plan adopted in December of 2015. The
Comprehensive Plan contains policy guidance related to this application. Specifically,
Chapter 14, Comprehensive Plan Map, starting at Page 14-14 provides the following
purpose and description of the ‘Light Industrial’ Comprehensive Plan designation: The 2014
Comprehensive Plan to which the application is vested provides the following purpose
statement of the “Light Industrial” comprehensive plan land use designation.
“Light Industrial”
“Purpose: To reserve quality industrial lands for activities that implement the City's
economic development goals and policies.”
“Description: This category is intended to accommodate a wide range of industrial and
commercial uses. This designation is intended to provide a location attractive for
manufacturing, processing and assembling land use activities that benefit from quality
surroundings and appropriate commercial retail uses that benefit from the location,
access, physical configuration, building types of these properties. It is distinguished
from heavier industrial uses by means of performance criteria. All significant activities
shall take place inside buildings, and the processing or storage of hazardous materials
shall be strictly controlled and permitted only as an incidental part of another use. The
siting and design of industrial buildings shall be of an "industrial or business park"
character. Certain residential uses may be permitted, especially in industrial areas that
have been established to promote a business park environment that complements
environmental features, and/or if development standards are developed to promote
compatibility between residential and other non-residential land uses.” (Emphasis
added)

“Compatible Uses: A wide range of industrial and heavy commercial uses may be
permitted, subject to performance standards. These uses include indoor manufacturing,
processing and assembling of materials from previously prepared or raw materials and
ancillary and necessary warehousing and distribution of finished goods associated with
manufacturing and industrial uses. Certain residential uses may be permitted if
development standards are established to promote compatibility between residential and
other non-residential land uses.”
“Outside storage shall be permitted only subject to performance criteria addressing its
quantity and location to ensure it is compatible with adjacent uses and so that such
storage would not detract from the potential use of the area for light industry. In all
cases such storage shall be extensively screened. In the Environmental Park District
that implements the “Light Industrial” plan map designation; outdoor storage will be
strictly limited to promote compatibility with adjacent environmental land uses. Uses
involving substantial storage or processing of hazardous materials as well as substantial
emissions should not be permitted in these areas. A wide range of commercial activities
may be allowed to provide increased opportunities for sales tax revenue.”
“To ensure the City’s long-term ability to invest in public infrastructure and services
remains viable, the City will continue to assess, evaluate, and if necessary pursue
implementation of policies that incentivize the transition of current and future land uses
in its industrial zones away from distribution and warehouse uses based on future
changes on tax structure at the State level or other similar actions. The City believes that
manufacturing and industrial land uses are preferential to and should be encouraged
over warehouse and distribution land uses currently existing in the City and that any
future warehouse and distribution uses should be ancillary to and necessary for the
conduct of manufacturing and industrial uses. Manufacturing and industrial uses are
more appropriate and beneficial through higher and better use of the land, enhanced
employment densities, increased property tax revenues and potential on-site sales tax
revenue generation for receipt of materials and other goods and services.”
“The establishment of regulations and incentives that create a basis for increased
commercial retail uses in the City’s industrial zoning districts will provide greater
opportunity for the generation of sales tax revenue in the City. Increased sales tax
revenue will positively impact the City’s continued ability to maintain and operate a
strong public investment program in infrastructure and services. Commercial retail uses
will in turn be attracted to and benefit from the location, access, physical configuration
and building types of industrial zoned properties.”
“Criteria for Designation: This designation should be applied to a majority of the
Region Serving Area designated under this Plan. It is particularly appropriate for
industrial land within high visibility corridors. This category should separate heavy
industrial areas from other uses.”
“Considerations Against Applying this Designation: Within the Community Serving
Area, this designation should only be applied to sites now developed as light industrial
sites. Industrial sites along rail corridors are generally more appropriate for heavier
industrial uses, unless in high visibility corridors.”

“Appropriate Implementation: This designation is implemented by the Light Industrial
(M-1), Environmental Park (EP) or Business Park (BP) zone.”
Per ACC 18.23.020 C the stated purpose of the “Light Commercial” zone is as follows:
“C. C-1, Light Commercial Zone. The C-1 zone is intended for lower intensity
commercial adjacent to residential neighborhoods. This zone generally serves as a
transition zone between higher and lower intensity land uses, providing retail and
professional services. This zone represents the primary commercial designation for
small- to moderate-scale commercial activities compatible by having similar performance
standards and should be developed in a manner which is consistent with and attracts
pedestrian-oriented activities. This zone encourages leisure shopping and provides
amenities conducive to attracting shoppers and pedestrians.”
Per the zoning code section, ACC 18.23.020.G, the stated intent of the “M1, Light Industrial”
zoning district is to:
“. . accommodate a variety of industrial, commercial, and limited residential uses in an
industrial park environment, to preserve land primarily for light industrial and commercial
uses, to implement the economic goals of the comprehensive plan and to provide a
greater flexibility within the zoning regulations for those uses which are non-nuisance in
terms of air and water pollution, noise, vibration, glare or odor. The light
industrial/commercial character of this zone is intended to address the way in which
industrial and commercial uses are carried out rather than the actual types of products
made. The character of this zone will limit the type of primary activities which may be
conducted outside of enclosed buildings to outdoor displays and sales. Uses which are
not customarily conducted indoors or involve hazardous materials are considered heavy
industrial uses under this title and are not appropriate for the M-1 zone. An essential
aspect of this zone is the need to maintain a quality of development that attracts rather
than discourages further investment in light industrial and commercial development.
Consequently, site activities which could distract from the visual quality of development
of those areas, such as outdoor storage, should be strictly regulated within this zone.”
As identified in ACC 18.23.030 the “M1, Light Industrial” zoning classification allows a wide
range of uses. While primarily manufacturing and processing in concentration, the regulations
also allow a wide variety of commercial and service oriented uses of a more intensive nature.
The zoning development standards such as setbacks, building height, etc. of the zone are
contained in ACC 18.23.040.
As discussed above, the southerly 2 parcels have been re-designated as “Light Industrial” under
the 2015 Comprehensive Plan Update. The 2 northerly parcels are contiguous with these two
southerly parcels. Also, the parcels are contiguous to existing land uses that function as light
industrial uses such as industrially zoned properties across A Street SE located outside of
Auburn City limits to the west, and Rodarte Construction Company to the south. Additionally,
along this segment of A Street SE and within a distance of a quarter mile, there are no other
established land uses except for one remaining single family residence (SFR) and a church
(other SFR’s are depicted on the property in relatively recent aerial photographs, but some have
been removed by the Applicant). Included with the application are statements by real estate
agents that indicate that the property is not conducive to commercial development and is better
suited to industrial development. There are many factors that may lead to this opinion for

example; the market may not have reached maturity at this location that make the property
suitable for redevelopment consistent with the commercial designation.
The range of uses allowed in the light industrial zone are characterized by a greater amount of
outdoor storage and outdoor activity and greater potential for noise and sharp transition in land
use, regardless of the specific development arrangement and use. Without appropriate
mitigation and design consideration, the proximity of the site to a heavily traveled “Principal
Arterial” street corridor has the potential to result in land use and visual impacts to nearby
properties and to the traveling public. The fact that the site rises in elevation approximately 15
feet and may be further filled to facilitate development increases the potential visibility of the site
and future development. As well as, the location is at the south end of main transportation
corridor at the perimeter, that forms a prominent visual identify for the City.
The Comprehensive Plan description of the purpose of this designation emphasizes that outside
storage shall be permitted only subject to performance criteria addressing its quantity and
location to ensure it is compatible with adjacent uses and so that such storage would not detract
from the potential use of the area for light industry. In all cases such storage shall be
extensively screened.
Applicable policies from the City’s Comprehensive plan that are adopted and designated as a
basis for the exercise of substantive authority under SEPA to approve, condition or deny
proposed action are noted as follows:
Objective 2.2. To provide flexibility for major new commercial or industrial developments
to respond to changing market conditions without threatening the purposes of this
Comprehensive Plan.
GP-13 Ordinances regulating developing commercial or industrial areas should be
based on performance standards which provide flexibility to respond to market
conditions while ensuring compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan, and with present
and potential adjacent uses.
GP-14 Review procedures for all new development should be integrated or coordinated
with SEPA as much as possible.
GP-15 In interpreting plan provisions or in considering a plan amendment, plan
designations in the Region Serving Area should be treated in a more flexible manner
than in the Community Serving Area (see Map 3.2.).
Objective 2.3. To provide flexibility in areas where a transition from existing uses to
planned uses is appropriate.
Policies:
GP-16 Contract zoning can be used to manage the transition between existing uses and
future uses. Contract zoning allows new uses to be conditioned in a manner which
controls potential conflicts during such transition. Contract zoning may be particularly
useful as a timing device to ensure that the necessary public facilities are available to
support new development.

GP-31 The City should appropriately support local businesses that enhance the image
of the City through their contribution to economic vitality, educational, and historic value
of the community.
Objective 11.1. To create a physical image for the city conducive to attracting light
industry.
LU-96 Highly visible areas which tend to establish the image of the city should not be
used by heavy industrial uses.
LU-97 The City shall promote high quality development of all light industrial and
warehouse areas.
LU-98 The City shall aggressively seek to abate all potentially blighting influences in
industrial areas, especially in areas visible to regional traffic flows and in areas
designated for light industrial uses.
Objective 11.2. To establish performance standards, appropriate for developing
industrial areas.
LU-99 Compatibility among land uses should be enhanced through landscaping,
building orientation and setbacks, traffic control and other measures to reduce potential
conflicts.
LU-100 All industrial development should incorporate aesthetically pleasing building and
site design. The City shall amend its codes and performance standards which govern
industrial development to implement this policy.
a. Procedures shall be established to ensure aesthetically pleasing building
and site design in areas designated for light industrial areas.
b. Appropriate landscaping and site development standards shall regulate
site development in heavy industrial areas.
c. Unsightly views, such as heavy machinery, service entrances, storage
areas, rooftop equipment, loading docks, and parking areas should be screened
from view of adjacent retail, commercial, light industrial and residential areas and
from public streets.
Consistent with this discussion in the Comprehensive Plan, the subject properties are
adjacent to a highly visible transportation corridor that forms a visual identify for the city.
Also, with the recent change in the map designation of the two properties located to the
south and under the same ownership, the properties border other property designated “Light
Industrial” by the Comprehensive Plan. The site is separated by hillside from residential
uses to the east. Residential uses continue to exist to the north on property designated for
light commercial use. The site is not located in the regional-serving area. The development
of the property will be required to be served with high capacity and high quality public
services and facilities concurrent with development; these will include half street
improvements and utility extensions. The properties have frontage and access to West
Valley Hwy N that is classified as a “Principal Arterial” in the City’s Comprehensive
Transportation Plan.

The City’s comprehensive plan seeks to establish and maintain a balance of industrial uses
that respond to local and regional needs while enhancing the city's image through optimal
siting and location of light industrial uses.
2. The second decision criterion is that the comprehensive plan amendment must not
diminish or increase the ability to provide adequate services.
The proposed application for a change in comprehensive plan designation and zoning has been
reviewed by Valley Regional Fire Agency and the City Utilities and Traffic divisions. Based in
these reviews, the change would not adversely affect the provision of services. The proposed
Comprehensive Plan map change by itself, if approved will not affect the ability to provide
adequate services. As typical with development in the city, the infrastructure improvements
needed to support the development would be the responsibility of the future development. At
the time of development, adequate services would be required to be provided concurrent with
the development in order for the project to be authorized. So, it is not anticipated that approval
of the request negatively affects provision of services. Utility and street frontage improvements
would be required to support the development
While the site is not yet developed consistent with city standards for the operation of a paving
contractor business, Lakeridge Paving Company seeks to develop the site for a “construction
contractor” business and has plans for further development of the southern lot to include a
future office building and a future building for storage of vehicles. While this further future
development is capable of being done under the C3, Heavy Commercial zoning classification
(office uses and parking structures are allowed) it is complicated by being subject to different
zoning development standards. The Applicant has recently submitted additional applications to
the city for the future development of the site. These will be reviewed for consistency with city
standards, including City Public Works Design Standards prior to authorization.
3. The third decision criterion is that the assumptions on which the comprehensive plan
is based are found to be invalid.
While the policies of the Comprehensive Plan are not invalid, the city has already changed the
map designation to “Light Industrial” of two contiguous parcels off-site to the south and therefore
making this requested change more logical as an expansion of the existing designation.
However, this property owner’s parcels would be different in designation than all surrounding
parcels.
4. The fourth decision criterion is that there has been a change or lack of change in
conditions or circumstances has occurred since the adoption of the latest
amendment to the comprehensive plan that dictates the need for a proposed
amendment.
There has been a lack of change in conditions that generates the need for the change. The
pattern of “Light Commercial”-designated parcels has not been revisited for many years. The
proposed change is for two parcels that are located adjacent to other parcels with the “Light
Industrial” designation and provides more regular boundaries that reduce potential for land use
conflicts.
5. The fifth decision criterion is that the change must be determined to be consistent
with the Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A), the Countywide Planning Policies of
DI.E Page 78 of 181

the relevant county and “Vision 2040: Growth and Transportation Strategy for the
Puget Sound Region”.
The change if approved would continue to be consistent with the Growth Management Act
(RCW 36.70A), the Countywide Planning Policies of King County and “Vision 2040: Growth and
Transportation Strategy for the Puget Sound Region”. The proposal is consistent because it
provides land suitable for industrial development.
6. The sixth decision criterion, applies only to changes of the mapped land use
designation of a specific property, the applicant must demonstrate one of the
following:
a. The current land use designation was clearly made in error or due to an
oversight;
b. The proposed land use designation is adjacent to property having a similar
or compatible designation, or other conditions are present to ensure
compatibility with surrounding properties;
c. There has been a change in conditions since the current land use
designation came into effect.
The same land use designation as proposed occurs on adjacent properties to the south and
thus meets item b.

6. As indicated by the Applicant’s narrative statement submitted with the application, the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and related rezoning have been requested for the
purpose of a commercial land use designation to ensure the ability for future commercial
development. Pierce County Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) and a
Conditional Use Permit (land use approval) (File #CP33-94), for the development of the
North Lake Tapps Center provided for the construction of an 18,000 commercial building
and 88 associated parking stalls on the southeastern 4.12-acre portion of an 11.78-acre
parcel to be served by Bonney Lake Water and City of Auburn Sewer. Site is, located in the
General Use Zone classification (Application Number 196781) in 2008. The property was
annexed to the City of Auburn in 2005 while the vesting application was under review by
Pierce County. The CUP was issued in 2008 and the Applicant continued to renew the
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) with Pierce County and the City of Auburn, but the CUP
expired in 2013. At annexation in the year 2005, the property was given a comprehensive
plan designation of “Single Family Residential" and zoning designation that is now referred
to as “R5, Residential Five Dwelling Units Per Acre”.

Process and Criteria for Requested Amendment
8. The Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment application seeks to change the comprehensive
plan map designation of an approximately 2.27-acre vacant parcel from the current
designation of “Single Family Residential” to “Light Commercial”
9. The property is a diagonal rectangle in shape and is vacant, Tax Parcel #0520101045.
10. The east side of the site is bordered by a Pierce County roadway of 182nd Avenue East
which is a two-lane north-south roadway with left turn lanes provided at major intersections
and gravel shoulders. To the south the site is bordered by Lake Tapps Parkway SE, a City
of Auburn “Principal Arterial” classified roadway. This street has two lanes in each direction
with a center turn lane. The shoulders are usually curb, gutter and sidewalk. The site does
not border any other roadway rights-of-way. On the diagonal, to the north and west is a
public storm pond and Northwest Pipeline underground utility transmission corridor. The
utility corridor appears to contain wetlands that extend on to the northern portion of the site.
11. The property is located within the Pierce County portion of the City of Auburn. It was
annexed to the City in 2005 by Ordinance #5932.
12. The property rises slightly in the center to an elevation of approximately 544 feet and slopes
down on all directions. The lowest portion of the site is near the northeast corner at an
elevation of 534 feet and was previously identified by Pierce County as containing wetlands.
13. As indicated by the Applicant in the narrative submitted with the application, the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and related rezoning have been requested for the
purpose of changing the land use designation of the property to allow future development
consistent with nearby properties.
14. The purpose of the City’s Comprehensive Plan document is to provide a policy basis for the
future zoning changes to ensure that the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance are
consistent as required by the following city code provision:
“ACC 14.22.050 Conformance and consistency.
The zoning, land division and other development codes contained or referenced within
Auburn City Code shall be consistent with and implement the intent of the
comprehensive plan. Capital budget decisions shall be made in conformity with the
comprehensive plan. “
15. The City code provides certain criteria for decisions for comprehensive plan amendments as
follows:
“ACC 14.22.110 Decision criteria for plan amendments.
A. The comprehensive plan was developed and adopted after significant
study and public participation. The principles, goals, objectives and policies
contained therein shall be granted substantial weight when considering a
proposed amendment. Therefore, the burden of proof for justifying a proposed
amendment rests with the applicant, who must demonstrate that the request
complies with and/or relates to the following decision criteria:
1. The proposed change will further and be consistent with the goals and
objectives of the plan and the plan will remain internally consistent;

5. If applicable, a determination that a question of consistency exists
between the comprehensive plan and Chapter 36.70A RCW, the countywide
planning policies for either King and/or Pierce County, as appropriate, and Vision
2040: Growth and Transportation Strategy for the Puget Sound Region.”
CONCLUSIONS
1. The first criterion is that the change must further and be consistent with the goals
and objectives of the plan and the plan will remain internally consistent.
The Applications are vested to the Comprehensive Plan in effect prior to the adoption of
substantially revised Comprehensive Plan adopted in December of 2015. The
Comprehensive Plan contains policy guidance related to this application. Specifically,
Chapter 14, Comprehensive Plan Map, starting at Page 14-9 provides the following purpose
and description of the ‘Light Commercial’ Comprehensive Plan designation. The 2015 and
earlier Comprehensive Plan to which the application is vested provides the following
purpose statement of the “Light Commercial” comprehensive plan land use designation.
“Light Commercial”
“Purpose: To create people oriented commercial areas to supply a wide range of
general commercial services to area residents.”
“Description: This category represents the prime commercial designation for small to
moderate scale commercial activities. These commercial areas should be developed in
a manner which is consistent with and attracts pedestrian oriented activities. The
ambiance of such areas should encourage leisure shopping and should provide
amenities conducive to attracting shoppers.” (Emphasis added)
“Compatible Uses: A wide range of consumer oriented goods and services are
compatible within this designation since the emphasis would be on performance criteria
which create an attractive shopping environment. However, uses which rely on direct
access by vehicles or involve heavy truck traffic (other than for merchandise delivery)
are not appropriate in this category. Unsightly outdoor storage and similar activities
should be prohibited. Permitted uses would consist of retail trade, offices, personal
services, indoor eating establishments, financial institutions, governmental offices, and
similar uses. Multiple family dwellings should be encouraged as part of mixed-use
developments where they do not interfere with the shopping character of the area, such
as within the upper stories of buildings. Since taverns can break up the continuity of
people oriented areas, taverns would be permitted generally only as a conditional use.
Drive in windows should only be allowed as ancillary to a permitted use, and only when

“Criteria for Designation: This designation should include moderate sized shopping
centers, and centrally located shopping areas. This designation should be preferred for
commercial sites where visual and pedestrian amenities are an important concern
outside of the downtown.”
“Considerations Against Applying this Designation: Commercial areas which
cannot be readily separated from high traffic volumes (such as shallow lots along busy
arterials) should not be included in this designation. Areas not large enough for
separation from any adjacent heavier commercial or industrial area should not be
designated as light commercial.”
“Appropriate Implementation: This designation is implemented by the C-1 Light
Commercial District. This district provides for a wide range of small and moderate scale
commercial oriented towards the leisure shopper and pedestrian oriented activities.”
(Emphasis added)
While the purpose statement is not a perfect fit to this request, the request is sought for the
purpose of creating a small to moderate scale commercial activities that can provide services
and retailing products that serve an adjacent residential area. Currently, sidewalk exists along
Lake Tapps Parkway connecting to nearby neighborhoods.
Per ACC 18.23.020 C the stated purpose of the “Light Commercial” zone is as follows:
“C. C-1, Light Commercial Zone. The C-1 zone is intended for lower intensity
commercial adjacent to residential neighborhoods. This zone generally serves as a
transition zone between higher and lower intensity land uses, providing retail and
professional services. This zone represents the primary commercial designation for
small- to moderate-scale commercial activities compatible by having similar performance
standards and should be developed in a manner which is consistent with and attracts
pedestrian-oriented activities. This zone encourages leisure shopping and provides
amenities conducive to attracting shoppers and pedestrians.”
Per the zoning code section, ACC 18.07.010.D, the stated intent of the “R5, Residential” zoning
district is to:
“D. R-5 Residential Zone – Five Dwelling Units per Acre. The R-5 single-family
residential zones are intended to create a living environment of optimum standards for
single-family dwellings. It is further intended to achieve development densities of four to
five dwelling units per net acre. This zone will provide for the development of single-
family detached dwellings and for such accessory uses as are related, incidental and not
detrimental to the single-family residential environment.” .
As identified in ACC 18.07.010 the “R5, Residential” zoning district is intended to create a living
environment of optimum standards for single-family dwellings. The property configuration of a
triangular-rectangle shape bordering two transportation corridors and up against a utility corridor
and storm pond on the remaining sides and does not represent ideal living environment for
single family dwellings. The property has remained undeveloped under the City’s residential
zoning classification since the Pierce County Conditional Use Permit (Land use approval)
expired June 30, 2013.

The range of uses allowed in the light commercial zone are characterized by a greater variety of
commercial businesses including retail and service.
Applicable policies from the City’s Comprehensive plan that are adopted and designated as a
basis for the exercise of substantive authority under SEPA to approve, condition or deny
proposed action are noted as follows:
“While commercial uses along arterials (often called "strip commercial"
development) provide important services to community residents, the
proliferation of commercial uses along arterials raises several land use planning
issues. On the negative side, strip commercial development creates traffic flow
problems and conflict with adjacent land uses. Due to their "linear" nature,
commercial strips result in a maximum area of contact between commercial uses
and other land uses resulting in a high potential for land use conflicts. Poor
visual character due to excessive signage and architectural styles designed to
attract attention instead of promoting a sense of community is an additional
concern. Pedestrian shopping is made difficult, resulting in greater generation of
automobile traffic, and large fields of asphalt parking lots are needed to
accommodate single purpose vehicle trips.”
“Despite the problems associated with commercial development along arterials,
many such locations are often quite unsuitable for other uses, due to the impacts
associated with heavy traffic volumes. Also, many commercial uses thrive at
such locations due to high visibility and accessibility. The Plan seeks to manage
existing arterial commercial areas to take advantage of the accessibility they
provide, while minimizing traffic and land use conflicts and improving their visual
appearance through an enhanced design review process and development
standards.”
“Objective 9.3. To encourage the appropriate use of areas adjacent to heavily
traveled arterials while minimizing land use and traffic conflicts by:
1. Managing the continued commercial development of existing commercial
arterials in a manner which minimizes traffic and land use conflicts.
2. Conserving residential qualities along heavily traveled arterials which are not
yet commercialized, by restricting commercial development to types which
provide an appropriate buffer.
3. Protecting existing, viable residential areas along lesser-traveled arterials,
from commercial development.
4. Concentrate population and employment growth within the eight key
economic development strategy areas within the City identified as follows:
· Auburn Way North Corridor
· Auburn Way South Corridor
· Urban Center
· Auburn Environmental Park and Green Zone
· 15th Street SW/C Street SW/West Valley Highway/Supermall
· A Street SE Corridor

Policies:
LU-58 The City has identified those existing commercial arterials that are
appropriate for continued commercial development and employment growth as
well as a concentration of population growth. These areas are identified as the
eight economic development strategy areas as identified under Objective 9.3.
Sub-area plans for these strategy areas should be developed.
LU-59 The City shall review its standards relating to the number, size and
location of driveways to ensure consistency with goals and policies relating to
arterial commercial development.
LU-60 The City shall encourage the grouping of individual commercial
enterprises along commercial arterials to promote the sharing of parking areas,
access drives and signs. Such grouping can be encouraged through land
division regulations, sign regulations and development standards.
LU-61 Moderate density multiple family residential development shall be used to
buffer general (heavy) commercial arterial development from single family
development. Extensive screening and landscaping shall be used to buffer
general commercial uses from multiple family uses. However, the placement of
walls and fences and site designs which prevent easy access by bicyclists and
pedestrians should be avoided.
LU-62 Arterials experiencing strong pressure for commercial development, but
not yet committed to commercial uses, shall be designated for mixed use
commercial and high density multi-family uses. Development regulations should
encourage the development of professional office and similar uses and multiple
family housing, with development and design standards carefully drawn to
ensure preservation of a quality living environment in adjacent neighborhoods.
LU-63 Residential arterials having good potential for long term maintenance of a
quality living environment should be protected from the intrusion of commercial
uses. In some instances, these may be appropriate locations for churches and
other religious institutions, or moderate density multiple family uses.
LU-64 Newly developed arterials shall incorporate design features, and
development of adjacent land shall be managed such that creation of new
commercial strips is avoided. Land division regulations shall result in single
family residences being oriented away from the arterial, with access provided by
a non-arterial street.
LU-65 Along the Auburn Way South Corridor, employment and population
growth should be limited to north of the R Street SE overpass.
LU-66 The City should develop design standards and guidelines for
development along arterials to improve their visual appearance.
While the property that is the subject of this request is not specifically identified as a
location targeted for commercial development by the language of the policies and

objectives, it is located at the intersection of major streets and separated from adjacent
residential zoned property by the utility transmission corridor, storm pond and wetlands.
Consistent with this discussion in the Comprehensive Plan, the subject property is
adjacent to a highly visible transportation corridor that forms a visual identify for the city.
The property is sufficiently separated from single family residential uses and not likely to
contribute to undesirable strip commercial. Future driveway access to the Pierce County
roadway of 182nd Avenue East will require careful coordination with Pierce County
Transportation as the jurisdiction owning the road. The coordination will occur during
construction authorizations. Concern about sufficient driveway separation from the
intersection for safety was previously identified by Pierce County’s in their SEPA
decision (Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance).
2. The second decision criterion is that the comprehensive plan amendment must not
diminish or increase the ability to provide adequate services.
The proposed application for a change in comprehensive plan designation and zoning has been
reviewed by Valley Regional Fire Agency and the City Utilities and Traffic divisions. Based in
these reviews, the change would not adversely affect the provision of services. The proposed
Comprehensive Plan map change by itself, if approved will not affect the ability to provide
adequate services. As typical with development in the city, the infrastructure improvements
needed to support the development would be the responsibility of the future development. At
the time of development, adequate services would be required to be provided concurrent with
the development in order for the project to be authorized. So, it is not anticipated that approval
of the request negatively affects provision of services. Utility and street frontage improvements
would be required to support the development.
As noted above, future driveway access to the Pierce County roadway of 182nd Avenue East
will require careful coordination with Pierce County Transportation as the jurisdiction owning the
road. Half-street improvements would likely be required as well as the concern about sufficient
driveway separation from the intersection was identified in Pierce County’s previous SEPA
decision (Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance). Pierce county also previously issued a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) (land use approval) for a smaller commercial development of the
site. The CUP was extended several time but expired on June 30, 2013.
3. The third decision criterion is that the assumptions on which the comprehensive plan
is based are found to be invalid.
While the policies of the Comprehensive Plan are not invalid, the “Single Family Residential”
land use designation was established in 2005 when the property as part of larger area that was
annexed to the City of Auburn. A storm pond was subsequently constructed to the west side of
the property and Lake Tapps Parkway SE widened. There also have has been further in-fill
development of nearby single family subdivisions and commercial development within the
Lakeland Hills South Planned Unit Development since the time of annexation.
4. The fourth decision criterion is that there has been a change or lack of change in
conditions or circumstances has occurred since the adoption of the latest
amendment to the comprehensive plan that dictates the need for a proposed
amendment.
DI.E Page 87 of 181

Page 23 of 30
There has been both “change” and a “lack of change”. The “change” is described above in
response to the development that has occurred in the intervening time since annexation. The
“lack of change” in conditions that generates the need for the amendment is that the pattern of
“Light Commercial”-designated parcels and the appropriate land use designation of the property
has not been revisited for many years. The map change is requested for property that is
effectively surrounded by roadways and utility corridors that provides boundaries that reduce
potential for land use conflicts.
5. The fifth decision criterion is that the change must be determined to be consistent
with the Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A), the Countywide Planning Policies of
the relevant county and “Vision 2040: Growth and Transportation Strategy for the
Puget Sound Region”.
The change if approved would continue to be consistent with the Growth Management Act
(RCW 36.70A), the Countywide Planning Policies of King County and Pierce County and “Vision
2040: Growth and Transportation Strategy for the Puget Sound Region”. The proposal is
consistent because it provides land suitable for commercial development and municipal
revenue.
6. The sixth decision criterion, applies only to changes of the mapped land use
designation of a specific property, the applicant must demonstrate one of the
following:
d. The current land use designation was clearly made in error or due to an
oversight;
e. The proposed land use designation is adjacent to property having a similar
or compatible designation, or other conditions are present to ensure
compatibility with surrounding properties;
f. There has been a change in conditions since the current land use
designation came into effect.
While it may not be an error or oversight, the land use designation applied to the property at the
time of annexation did not take into account the fact that Pierce County had a vested application
being processed for a Conditional Use Permit (CP33-94), for the development of the site as
“North Tapps Center”. The development proposal consisted of construct an 18,000 square foot
commercial building and 88 associated parking stalls on the southeastern 4.12-acre portion of
an 11.78-acre parcel to be served by City of Bonney Lake Water and City of Auburn Sanitary
Sewer, located in a General Use zone classification. The Conditional Use Permit was issued by
Pierce County in 2008 and was renewed by the Applicant until June 30, 2013, when it expired.

Services Administration (GSA’s) stated intent to reconfigure their current facility, which is
anticipated to result in a reduced need for land and possible disposal (sale) of a portion of
the approx. 135 acres. Request also includes two adjacent City-owned parcels 1.56 acres
and 8.04 acres to the south of GSA Properties. All the properties are generally located at

2. This city-initiated proposal seeks to change the designation of the following three contiguous
properties:
· North Parcel # 2421049004, 134.49 acres owned by US Government administered
by General Services Administration
· Southwest Parcel # 2521049114, 8.7 acres owned by City of Auburn (Fire Station)
· Southeast Parcel # 2521049115, 1.56 acres owned by City of Auburn (Access for
Fire Station)
The combined area of the three subject parcels is approximately 144.76 acres.
3. All three sites border C ST SW, which is “Minor Arterial” classified street which is developed
with two lanes in each direction aligned north-south. The largest parcel (Parcel #
2421049004) also borders 15th ST SW, aligned east-west, which is classified by the City as
a “Principal Arterial” which prescribes a five-lane road with a minimum 87 feet of right-of-
way. North of the parcels, the road has five lanes but varies in lane configuration and right-
of-way width along its length.
4. The property is located within the King County portion of the City of Auburn. It was annexed
to the City in 1958 by Ordinance #1226.

5. The properties are relatively flat with slight slope to the north and west. The southern
portion of the site occurs at elevation 98 feet and 88 feet near the north end.
12. Historically, the comprehensive plan designation of the properties was “Heavy Industrial” as
changed in 1987. Subsequently, the GSA property was changed to “Light Industrial”. The
two City properties were changed to “Institutional” by the map adopted with the substantially
revised Comprehensive Plan (including map amendments) in response to periodic updates
required by the Growth Management Act (GMA) by Ordinance #6584 on December 14,
2015.
13. The City of Auburn is proposing to change the land use designation of approximately 135
acres of land owned by the United States Government and is managed by the General
Services Administration (GSA) as well as the two adjacent properties owned by the City.
GSA and/or the U.S. Government is not proposing the change. This change in land use
designation is proposed in anticipation of GSA’s stated intent to reconfigure their current
facility, which will likely result in a reduced need for land and the possibility of a U.S.
Government disposal of a portion of the 135 acres. City of Auburn staff is recommending
the Comprehensive Plan land use designation be changed to facilitate higher and better
uses than the current “Light Industrial” designation offers. Staff is proposing that the land
use designation be changed to "Heavy Commercial”.
14. Staff is proposing the change in anticipation of the U.S. Government disposing of land so
that the City can promote redevelopment that generates sales tax revenues, family wage
jobs, and promotes economic development. The range of uses allowed in the “Heavy
Commercial” designation is better suited to accomplish these goals than the “Light
Industrial” designation.
15. Because changing the comprehensive plan map designation can only occur once per year,
except under specific limitations, staff is seeking the change now because the annual
amendment limitation does now allow us to respond quickly in the event that U.S.
Government initiates the disposal process.
16. The U.S. Government has not provided the City with a long-term development or
redevelopment plan. GSA has indicated that to maintain their mission of service delivery for
the Northwest region, they plan to continue at their current location at this time. GSA has
also indicated its land utilization needs will likely change, resulting in a reduction of
land/space.
17. Staff has notified the U.S. Government of its intentions to seek a land use designation
change. The U.S. Government has not indicated that they have objection or concern over
the change so long as the underlying designation can also serve their long term needs in the
event that it is determined that they are obligated to comply with local land use regulations.
18. The U.S. Government representatives have indicated that they are supportive of local efforts
that promote economic development and that create jobs and that they would like to be
viewed as a partner in accomplishing these objective.
19. The two contiguous City parcels are proposed to be changed from “Institutional” to “Heavy
Commercial” since a majority of the city parcels were originally acquired from GSA and the
deeds are subject to a reversionary clause requiring that (l) The property be used and

maintained for emergency management response, including fire purposes; and (2) the
property not be sold, leased, mortgaged, assigned or otherwise disposed of except to
another government agency for the same purpose. The change in designation provides the
greatest flexibility and can continue to be used for emergency management purpose under a
revised designation.

Incorporate the City of Auburn’s 6-year Capital Facilities Plan 2017-2022, into the City’s
Comprehensive Plan.
Discussion
A Capital Facilities Plan is one of the comprehensive plan elements required by the Washington
State Growth Management Act (GMA) (RCW 36.70A). The GMA requires that a capital facilities
plan include an inventory of existing capital facilities (showing locations and capacities), a
forecast of future needs for such capital facilities, proposed locations and capacities of new or
expanded capital facilities, and a minimum of a six-year plan to finance capital facilities with
identified sources of funding. The proposed City of Auburn 6-year Capital Facilities Plan 2017-
2022 satisfies the GMA requirements for a capital facilities element as part of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Each comprehensive plan prepared under the GMA must include a capital facilities plan
element. RCW 36.70A.070(3) of the GMA states the following:
A capital facilities plan element consisting of:
(a) An inventory of existing capital facilities owned by public entities, showing the
locations and capacities of the capital facilities;
(b) a forecast of the future needs of such capital facilities;
(c) the proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new capital facilities;
(d) at least a six-year plan that will finance such capital facilities within projected funding
capacities and clearly identifies sources of public money for such purposes; and
(e) a requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls short of
meeting existing needs and to ensure that the land use element, capital facilities plan
element, and financing plan within the capital facilities plan element are coordinated and
consistent. Park and recreation facilities shall be included in the capital facilities plan
element.
A capital facility is a structure, street or utility system improvement, or other long-lasting major
asset, including land. Capital facilities are provided for public purposes. Capital facilities include,
but are not limited to, the following: streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council to discuss school impact fee ordinance revisions
Background Summary:
Title 19 (Impact Fees) of the Auburn City Code contains standards and regulations pertaining to the
collection of impact fees in the City of Auburn. Specifically, Chapter 19.02 (School Impact Fees)
addresses the establishment, calculation, collection and amendment of school impact fees within the
municipal boundaries of the City of Auburn. The city originally established school impact fees in 1998 by
Ordinance No. 5078. Portions of four school districts lie within the City limits.
Pursuant to Code Section 19.02.060 (Annual Council Review) of the Auburn City Code, on at least an
annual basis, the Auburn City Council shall review the information submitted by the Districts pursuant to
ACC 19.02.050. The review shall be in conjunction with any update of the capital facilities plan element of
the city's comprehensive plan. The City Council may also at this time determine if an adjustment to the
amount of the impact fees is necessary.
The City of Auburn Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment process for 2016 included requests for City
approval of the Capital Facilities Plans of the four districts as follows:
* 2016 - 2022 Auburn School District Capital Facilities Plan;
* 2017-2022 Dieringer School District Capital Facilities Plan;
* 2017 Federal Way School District Capital Facilities Plan; and
* 2016-2017 through 2021-2022 Kent School District Capital Facilities Plan.
These requests were submitted in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.02.050 (Submission of
District Capital Facilities Plan and Data) of the Auburn City Code.
The School Districts’ Capital Facilities Plans are contained in the working notebooks (three ring binders)
for the 2016 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments, distributed to the City Council prior to the 11-28-
16 study session.

Definition
The city’s code section 19.02 contains the city’s regulations governing school impact fees. It provides the
following definition:
"Impact fee" means a payment of money imposed upon development as a condition of development
approval to pay for school facilities needed to serve new growth and development that is reasonably
related to the new development that creates additional demand and need for public facilities, that is a
proportionate share of the cost of the school facilities, and that is used for such facilities that
reasonably benefit the new development.
Related Authority
Other key points of the city’s regulations include:
v The impact fee shall be based on a capital facilities plan adopted by the district and
incorporated by reference by the city as part of the capital facilities element of the city's
comprehensive plan, adopted pursuant to Chapter 36.70A RCW, for the purpose of establishing
the fee program.
v Separate fees shall be calculated for single-family and multifamily types of dwelling units, and
separate student generation rates must be determined by the district for each type of dwelling
unit.
v The fee shall be calculated on a district-wide basis using the appropriate factors and data
supplied by the district. The fee calculations shall also be made on a district-wide basis to assure
maximum utilization of all available school facilities in the district which meet district standards.
v As a condition of the city's authorization and adoption of a school impact fee ordinance, the city
and the applicable district shall enter into an interlocal agreement governing the operation of the
school impact fee program, and describing the relationship and liabilities of the parties. The
agreement must provide that the district shall hold the city harmless for all damages.
v On an annual basis (by July 1st or on a date agreed to by district and the city and stipulated in
the interlocal agreement), any district for which the city is collecting impact fees shall submit the
Capital facilities plan and supporting information to the city.
v Applicants for single-family and multifamily residential building permits shall pay the total
amount of the impact fees assessed before the building permit is issued, using the impact fee
schedules in effect, unless the fee has been deferred pursuant to City Ordinance No. 6341.
v The impact fee calculation shall be based upon the formula set forth in ACC 19.02.110, “Impact
fee formula”. The formula is the city's determination of the appropriate proportionate share of the
costs of public school capital facilities needed to serve new growth and development to be funded
by school impact fees based on the factors defined in ACC 19.02.020. Based on this formula, the
“Fee Obligation” is the “Total Unfunded Need” x 50% = Fee Calculation.
The Capital Facilities Plans that were approved by each of the school boards contain proposed school
impact fees for each of the Districts. The requests for adjustment of the school impact fees are required
to be submitted concurrent with the submittal of the Capital Facilities Plans. Under City regulations a
separate letter request is only required to be subm itted to the city when the fee adjustment is requested to
increase.

Agenda Subject: Ordinance No. 6627 related to adjusting School
Impact Fees
Date: November 21, 2016
Page 3 of 4
Council Review and Decision
The setting of the actual fees occurs through separate Council action amending Chapter 19.02 of the
Auburn City Code. Section 19.02.060, (Annual Council Review) specifies the following:
On at least an annual basis, the city council shall review the information submitted by the district
pursuant to ACC 19.02.050. The review shall be in conjunction with any update of the capital
facilities plan element of the city's comprehensive plan. The city council may also at this time
determine if an adjustment to the amount of the impact fees is necessary; provided, that any
school impact fee adjustment that would increase the school impact fee shall require the
submittal of a written request for the adjustment by the applicable school district concurrent with
the submittal of the annual capital facilities plan pursuant to ACC 19.02.050. In making its
decision to adjust impact fees, the city council will take into consideration the quality and
completeness of the information provided in the applicable school district capital facilities plan
and may decide to enact a fee less than the amount supported by the capital facilities plan.
Section 19.02.060 establishes that the Auburn City Council is not obligated to accept the fees proposed
by the School Districts within their submitted Capital Facilities Plans and may establish fees that the
Council determines are more appropriate and consistent with the public’s interest in reasonably mitigating
school impacts within the affected portion of the City.
Recommendation
Dieringer School District:
The Dieringer School District indicated by correspondence submitted with their Capital Facilities Plan that
there were not requesting an increase in school impact fees for year 2017. The year 2016 fees are
$3,330.00 for single family residential and $1,518.00 for multiple family residential. However, a proposed
fee calculation of $5,053.00 for single family residential and $1,759.00 for multiple family residential is
identified based on their Capital Facilities Plan. Related to this, the Pierce County Council by Ordinance
No. 2016-79 adopted November 15, 2016 and effective January 1, 2017, established a school impact fee
for the Dieringer School District of $3,400.00 for single family residential and $1,759.00 for multiple family
residential. Pierce County routinely establishes a uniform rate for all districts within their jurisdiction and
only makes yearly adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. (The Dieringer School District is the
only school district common to both the jurisdictions of the City of Auburn and Pierce County).
To be consistent, it is appropriate to establish a fee applicable in the City of Auburn for the Dieringer
School district that is the same as Pierce County’s fee since it is more appropriate and consistent with the
public’s interest in reasonably mitigating school impacts within the affected portion of the City. The draft
Ordinance has been prepared to reflect school impact fees that are the same as Pierce County’s school
impact fee and differs from what the Dieringer School District has requested, as historically has been
done.
Federal Way School District:
The Federal Way School District proposes a fee calculation for multiple family residential the year 2017 of
$8,386.00 which is a substantial increase from the 2016 fee of $506.00. Tanya Nascimento, Student &
Demographic Forecaster for the Federal Way Public Schools provided the following explanation for the
increase as follows:
DI.F Page 113 of 181
Agenda Subject: Ordinance No. 6627 related to adjusting School
Impact Fees
Date: November 21, 2016
Page 4 of 4
When calculating the impact fees for the capital facilities plan, the District can only use actual student
generation rates, either our own or the King County average. For the past several years, there had
been no multi-family development in our District, so we were using the King County average. We had
two developments become fully occupied by the end of 2015. These were used in the calculation of
our 2017 multi-family impact fee. We have another multiple family development that became fully
occupied by June 2016 and there is one more currently under construction. Our multi-family
generation rates will continue to fluctuate as these new developments become part of our
calculations.
Scheduling of Actions
A discussion of the School District Capital Facilities Plans school impact fee changes and Ordinance No.
6627 is scheduled for Council Work Session November 28, 2016. City Council consideration is
tentatively planned for December 5, 2016.

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council to introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 6630
Background Summary:
The current WD #111 wholesale rate is based on the December 6, 2010 Interim Water
Sales Agreement (Resolution No. 4660) between Auburn and WD #111. The
agreement stated WD #111 would purchase a minimum block of water each year on a
“take or pay” basis. The agreement has an annual CPI inflator. The cost of water to
the district in 2016 is $.99 per ccf in the winter (.75 MGD block) and $1.25 per ccf (1
MGD block) for the guaranteed water and any taken in excess.
The Agreement will terminate on December 31, 2016 and has not been renegotiated.
This Ordinance No. 6630, will establish a new rate for WD #111 in ACC 13.06.360 to
reflect the actual cost of providing wholesale water service.
It is proposed that the wholesale rate for water purchased by WD #111 match the
wholesale rate for the other wholesale customer, City of Algona. The proposed rate, if
adopted, would go into effect on January 1, 2017.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, AMENDING
SECTION 13.06.360 OF THE AUBURN CITY CODE
RELATING TO UTILITY RATES
WHEREAS, Auburn Ordinance No. 6401, adopted May 7, 2012, provided
for monthly utility rates for the various classes of customers who receive water
service from the City of Auburn, for the period from June 1, 2012 through 2017,
as shown in Auburn’s Municipal Code ACC 13.06.360; and
WHEREAS, these customer classes included a Wholesale category, with
separate rates for Auburn’s two wholesale customers: City of Algona, and King
County Water District No. 111 (WD #111); and
WHEREAS, the WD #111 wholesale rate was based in part on the
December 6, 2010, Interim Water Sales Agreement (Auburn Resolution No.
4660) between the City of Auburn and WD #111, providing a “Take or Pay”
Agreement whereby WD #111 would purchase a minimum block of water each
year on a “take or pay” basis; and
WHEREAS, the “Take or Pay” Agreement of Resolution No. 4460 will
terminate on December 31, 2016, by mutual agreement of Auburn and WD #111;
and
WHEREAS, as WD #111’s wholesale rate in ACC 13.06.360 was based
on the “take or pay” concept, which is soon expiring, it is now appropriate to
modify that rate to reflect the actual cost of providing WD #111 with future
wholesale water service.

Proposed Downtown Traffic Control Zone
Map
Budget Impact:

Administrative Recommendation:
For discussion only.
Background Summary:
The City has experienced an increase in problems associated with truck parking and
truck traffic. Out of town businesses have been parking trucks on Auburn city streets,
some businesses have been parking multiple trucks at a time on our public streets,
and trash, used vehicle parts, fluids and waste from parked trucks have fouled the
right of way and sensitive areas.
The City has also experienced an increase in large trucks, not involved in local
deliveries, using its downtown streets for through trips, sometimes these trucks cause
physical damage to our infrastructure in the process.
In an effort to reduce these impacts while continuing to assist local truckers and
businesses, the City is proposing to revise City Code. Ordinance #6633 will create
changes in truck parking and restrict truck movements in a downtown traffic control
zone. Effective January 1, 2017 on - street parking for trucks 16,000 lbs. or over will
be allowed only for trucks registered to an Auburn resident with an Auburn business
license within the allowed truck parking areas of the City. In order to be able to park a
truck on the public streets where truck parking is allowed, a new parking permit will be
required to be displayed on the vehicle and only one parking permit will be issued to
each eligible business.
The Ordinance also creates a traffic control zone in the downtown area. Trucks
16,000 lbs. or over will be prohibited from operating within this zone - except to
originate from local businesses or to make local deliveries.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, CREATING A
PERMIT FOR TRUCK PARKING ON CITY STREETS
AND RESTRICTING THE MOVEMENT OF LARGE
VEHICLES IN THE DOWNTOWN URBAN CENTER
WHEREAS, the parking of trucks with a gross weight of 16,000 pounds or
more upon city streets creates congestion, significantly reduces parking for
smaller vehicles, and interferes with sight distances for the traveling public; and
WHEREAS, the weight of larger trucks and unattached commercial trailers
exceeds the capacity for the shoulder of some city streets causing damage to
those streets; and
WHEREAS, the Auburn Police Department has observed that many of the
trucks that park on City of Auburn streets are registered to residents of
surrounding cities and not to Auburn residents; and
WHEREAS, RCW 46.44.080 authorizes cities to prohibit the operation of
vehicles upon city streets and impose limits as to the weight of vehicles traveling
on those streets, as a city deems necessary; and
WHEREAS, the downtown area lies at the intersection of several travel
corridors, has a higher frequency of pedestrian and bike travel, consists of
shorter blocks, and is bordered by two designated truck routes; and
WHEREAS, the operation of trucks with a gross weight exceeding 16,000
pounds within the downtown area of Auburn can seriously damage the downtown
streets and presents a safety hazard to other vehicles and pedestrians; and

Auburn area would impose an austere economic impact upon individuals moving
into downtown residences and upon the few downtown businesses that regularly
receive deliveries in trucks of 16,000 pounds or more; and

Administrative Recommendation:

Background Summary:
The purpose of this discussion is to inform the Council and Public of the overall status
of the City’s Capital Project program managed by the Community Development &
Public Works (CDPW) Department and to present this quarter’s feature capital project:
22nd Street NE & I Street NE Intersection Improvements. Time permitting, staff will
also be presenting a video prepared for the Civics Academy that demonstrates the
City's Public Works team.
The Capital Projects Group of CDPW is currently managing 36 active projects with a
total cost of $74 million. Of these projects, 22 are in the design phase and 15 are
under construction. Within the next 3 months, 8 projects are expected to be advertised
for bids and the construction of 6 projects are anticipated to be completed. The total
value of projects completed by years is as follows:
2012 = $23.7 million
2013 = $29.9 million
2014 = $29.6 million
2015 = $35.0 million
2016 = $31.8 million (anticipated)
The 22nd Street NE & I Street NE Intersection Improvements project will improve the
safety for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists crossing the intersection of 22nd Street
NE and I Street NE, by constructing a single lane roundabout in place of the existing
all-way stop-control. The roundabout will reduce driver confusion and traffic delays
compared with the current multilane all-way stop control. Pedestrians and cyclists will
also be less exposed to traffic since crossing distances will be greatly reduced and
median islands will allow them to cross the road one lane at a time and they will only
have to look for vehicles coming from a single direction.
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.I Page 149 of 181
This project will also reconfigure the existing storm drainage system in this
intersection to accommodate the new intersection configuration, upsize the existing
waterlines from 8-inches to 12-inches to accommodate future water demands, and
replace the sewer service line to 901 22nd Street NE to reduce maintenance issues.
The project team will provide a general project update, including an overview of the
proposed design, budget status and schedule.

Background Summary:
Attached for your information you will find the 2015 State of Our Streets Report. In
previous years, staff has reported on only the Local Street Program; however, staff felt
this gave an incomplete picture of the condition of the Cities streets. Therefore, the
annual report has been revised to include both our Arterial Preservation and Local
Street Preservation Programs. This report provides a brief history of both Street
Preservation Programs, talks about the pavement conditions of Arterial, Collector and
Local streets, how the City maintains streets, details the street selection process for
these programs, and gives an overview of the list of projects that were completed in
2015, projects underway in 2016, and projects selected so far for future years.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The State of our Streets overall has improved over
the past several years and should continue to see
gains with improved resourcing. Recent City
success in securing federal grants has helped
leverage existing City funds for increased
preservation capacity of the Arterial Street
Program.
The Arterial and Collector Program is currently
focused on preserving the streets that are in fair
condition, however without additional funding
resources for the Arterial Program, several roads
are at risk of degrading to the point of failure
which will need to be addressed soon. Map 1 –
Arterial and Collector Pavement Conditions, graphically illustrates the condition
of the Arterial and Collector streets in the network with the worst streets shown
as yellow and red lines.
The local street system continues to see positive gains overall, and we feel is
funded appropriately. Map 2 –Local Street Pavement Conditions, shows the
current condition of the local street system. The program is currently focused on
working on streets in the worst condition, with remaining funds being used for
preservation.
In 2015, the Arterial and Local Street Preservation Programs accounted for
approximately $6.3 million dollars of roadway preservation investments in city
road infrastructure. The current estimated street conditions, including
improvements made during 2015, are shown in Table 1.
This purpose if this report is to document the pavement preservation program’s process and progress,
current infrastructure conditions and the forecasted needs of the approximately 245 centerline miles of
paved roadways owned and maintained by the City. City owned paved alleys and gravel roads are
maintained by the Maintenance & Operations service area and are not included in this report.
The City manages the
roadway pavement
infrastructure
through two separate
programs: the
Arterial Street
Preservation Program
and the Local Street
Preservation
Program. The Arterial
Program covers the
“classified”
roadways, consisting
of approximately 70
miles of arterials and
30 miles of collectors.
The Local Street
Program is
responsible for the
“unclassified”
roadways consisting
of approximately 145
miles of residential
and non-residential
local streets.

POUNDING THE PAVEMENT
PAVEMENT INVENTORY & RATING
The pavement condition survey that is conducted by the City’s service providers every few years is a semi -
autonomous process where technicians drive over each road in the street system to rate the condition . The
vehicle is equipped with high grade Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment as well as a laser measuring
device to measure the depth of rutting present in each lane and to measure the roughness of the ride. All of
this is done as one of the technicians visually rates each segment of pavement based on the amount of
surface distress that is present, while the GPS is used to tie all of the data collected in the field to the street
network maps of the City of Auburn’s Geographic Information System (GIS). The amount of damage and
distress is called the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The PCI ratings, rut depths, and roughness of ride are all
measures that help to determine when a stretch of pavement is due for rehabilitation or replacement. The
three metrics are used to rate a pavement segment as very good, good, fair, poor, or very poor. A good
condition pavement is smooth with few defects while a poor condition pavement is characterized by cracking,
patching, rutting and roughness. Pavement segments are prioritized for rehabilitation based on the condition
survey, along with input from several of the City’s departments to determine which streets are packaged into
a particular street project.
The City of Auburn, like most cities, utilizes a
Pavement Management Database to track
pavement condition and manage the street
system. City staff has evaluated the data and
have noted that there has been a downward
movement in the pavement ratings between the
survey completed in 2006/2008 and the most
recent survey completed in 2013. There are
several reasons for the downward movement in
pavement conditions. The previous pavement
management software that the City employed
used the 2006/2008 pavement rating survey

do an adequate job of predicting the actual rate of decline. Additionally, the
pavement rating data collected in 2013 was far more comprehensive than
previous surveys. In the 2006/2008 surveys, an entire street segment was rated on
the condition of a small sample. Because of the advancements in technology, the
2013 pavement condition rating survey used a more automated process for
collecting the pavement conditions over the entire length and width of each street
segment. There are several other factors that play a role in pavement degradation,
including the pavement age, thickness, base materials and traffic loading.
In the case of the arterial and collector street conditions, we are aware that many
of our aging arterial and collector streets, while constructed to the standards at
the time, are inadequate for the amount of vehicle loading that they carry today.
Having more accurate information allows us to make better projections of future
conditions and budget needs for long range planning.

WHAT DO THE NUMBERS MEAN?
The City measures pavement condition using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for each street in the
network. PCI values represent conditions based on a scale from 0 to 100 with 100 being new pavement and 0
indicating the pavement has failed. The City’s goal is to maintain a Citywide PCI at or above 70.
PCI values generally indicate surface condition and are useful in indicating the best time to repair the
pavement. The most cost effective time to preserve pavement is when the PCI ratings are in the 50-70 range,
because the pavement repair typically requires less expensive treatments that preserve the existing pavement.
Additionally, pavement condition tends to diminish at an accelerated rate after they have reached a PCI range
of 50-70. Pavements with moderate to low PCI values usually require more expensive rehabilitative treatments.
Pavements with very low PCI values are often unsalvageable and have to undergo a very expensive rebuild. The
table below shows the various pavement preservation treatments used for different PCI ranges, and the typical
life span and approximate cost of each treatment.
The goal for the preservation programs is to maintain the entire street network
at a PCI score of 70 or greater. The PCI of a street is an estimated measure of
the amount of visible cracking, rutting and roughness of a particular segment of
roadway. Every street in the network is rated periodically, and those scores are
used to indicate when a particular street is in need of some sort of preservation,
rehabilitation or replacement. Pavement rating surveys should be completed
every two to three years. The most recent comprehensive street rating survey
was done in 2013 with another underway in 2016.

provide a smooth driving surface. Chip Seal –A thin layer of liquid asphalt is
sprayed over the entire pavement surface and then covered with a thin layer

The International Roughness Index (IRI)
was developed by the World Bank in
the 1980s. IRI is used to define the
characteristic ride of a traveled wheel
path and constitutes a standardized
roughness measurement. The
commonly used units are inches per
mile or meters per kilometer. The IRI is
based on a standardized vehicle’s
accumulated suspension motion (in
inches, mm, etc.) divided by the
distance traveled by the vehicle during
the measurement (in/mi, m/km, etc.).
Roughness is an important pavement characteristic because it affects not only ride quality but also vehicle delay
costs, fuel consumption and maintenance costs; also, the general public perception of a good road is one that
provides a smooth ride. The citywide map showing the ride quality for all of the streets in the City is shown on
Map 3 –Ride Quality. In the pavement rating survey that was completed in 2013, IRI data was collected and
recorded on a zero to one hundred scale. Several state agencies actually use IRI as a parameter for street
selection for improvement projects. The City of Auburn has not established an official policy on the use of IRI
data for managing the street system; however, the roughness of a roadway segment can be a tie breaker
between similarly rated streets to be included in a project. Ride quality is a frequent comment that we receive
from our citizens, so having this data helps to be able to track and anticipate issues that may arise in the future .
Additionally, in the future after we have conducted more pavement rating surveys and have a chance to analyze
the trends in pavement roughness, IRI may become a viable metric in the street selection process for the City of
Auburn.
The City’s service provider measures
pavement Rut Depth with an automated laser
rut measuring device. The rut depth is
measured for each street in the network, and
then averaged over the length of each street
segment. Pavement rutting can create safety
issues if the depth of the rut is deep enough
to interrupt the flow of water across the road.
These issues directly affect a vehicles ability to
handle and stop in normal traffic situations.
The Washington State Department of
PAVEMENT RUT DEPTH MEASUREMENT
Transportation considers a rut depth of greater
than 0.5-inch to be the maximum threshold before it triggers a pavement maintenance operation to be performed,
since the highway system has a much greater average speed limit than a city street and WSDOT’s standard cross
slope for a road is 2%. The City of Auburn’s arterial roads typically have a range of speeds between 30-45 mph, with
a standard cross slope of 3%. A 3% cross slope and the lower speeds of City streets results in a much lower risk of
hydroplaning, however standing water negatively affects a vehicle’s ability to stop. 5DI.J Page 157 of 181
The rut depth information that was collected during the last pavement rating survey is illustrated on Map 4 –
Citywide Pavement Rut Map. Although the City does not have a policy on the use of rut depth as a trigger to
preserve roadways, the data is useful. If an otherwise intact piece of pavement is showing extreme rutting,
then that is an indication that either the pavement subgrade is failing or the roadway is extremely
overloaded by heavy vehicles. These instances would be clear indications that something needs to be done
to correct these rutting issues, and would serve as proper justification for including a particular street in a
project.
The City’s service provider surveys
Auburn’s street system approximately
every 2-5 years and rates each street
segment as discussed in the previous
section. Since the repair costs for the
overall system far exceeds what the City
can fund in any given year, the City then
prioritizes, narrows and selects a limited
number of streets for each of the annual
street preservation programs.
There are many factors the City must
consider when determining which
streets to rebuild and or rehabilitate
each year. We use the Pavement
Management Database to produce a list
of street segments that are in the PCI range for a reconstruction or preservation project. City staff then will
perform a site visit to confirm the ratings, compile site specific data and take pictures. Next, staff will estimate
the rough cost to do the work at each site. One of the most important factors the City considers when choosing
which streets to rebuild or improve is utility input. If there is a need to improve a utility along with improving
the street, then staff needs to consider the availability of utility funds to pay for any needed utility work. If the
Utilities have a long range plan to improve their infrastructure in the street but lack immediate funding, that
would be a suitable reason to delay working on a particular roadway. Replacing the utility mains at the same
time as street restoration is more economical and disturbs the neighboring residences only once. Additionally,
it prevents a newly reconstructed or treated surface from being damaged by trenching that’s needed to replace
underground utilities.
Another important factor is to consult with the City’s maintenance staff when selecting streets to restore or
rebuild. Maintenance and Operations staff help to identify streets that are beyond what they can adequately
maintain themselves or where excessive staff time is being spent on temporary repairs. Streets that require
more attention by staff are given a higher priority. Streets with significant drainage problems and poor ride
quality are also given consideration. Additionally, City staff consider the volume of vehicles per day, the number
of businesses and residents being served by the street, coordination with third party utility companies and
coordination with private property developments when selecting streets to improve each year.

PRESERVATION PROGRAMS
ARTERIAL STREET
PRESERVATION PROGRAM
The Arterial and Collector Preservation Program is responsible for maintaining the overall condition of
approximately 100 centerline miles of roadway that are vital to our City. These roads carry the vast majority
of our citizens, goods and services to and from our regional growth center and connect our communities to
the greater Puget Sound Region. The Arterial Street Preservation Program has focused almost exclusively on
preservation treatments given the lack of funding to complete much needed major reconstruction projects.
However, the appropriation of surplus Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) funding by the City Council, favorable
bids on several recent projects and the successful acquisition of federal grant funds have generated
sufficient capacity in the existing budget to program the reconstruction of B St. NW between 37th St. NW
and S 277th St., which is the worst arterial street segment in the network.
The goal of the Arterial Preservation Program is to improve the arterial and collector network to an overall
PCI of 70 (out of 100 scale rating). The current condition of the arterial and collector roadway network
averages a PCI Rating of 60 (fair condition). Over the next several years, the City has secured federal grant
funding for several projects which will help leverage existing city funds to better improve the health of our
street system. Currently funded 2016 through 2020, the Arterial Street Preservation Projects are shown on
Map 5 –Planned Arterial and Collector Projects –2016 to 2020.

approximate budget of Arterial
Street Preservation Program
ARTERIAL STREET PRESERVATION FUNDING
The Arterial Street Preservation Program is funded by
a 1% utility tax which has supported annual budgets of
approximately $1.8 Million over that past few years.
This funding has remained relatively stable however, it
is insufficient to complete the reconstruction work
needed to reach the overall system PCI maintenance
goal. Beginning in 2016, the City has successfully
obtained federal grant funding for seven projects
leveraging City funds spent on preserving our arterial
system. However, federal grant funds are subject to
competitive selection and cannot be relied upon as a stable source of funding beyond the current slate of
projects. The grant funded street reconstruction and preservation projects starting in 2016 through 2020,
are detailed below in Table 4.

The Local Street Preservation Program is responsible for maintaining the pavement on approximately 145
miles of roadways throughout the city. Each year that number grows with the construction of development
driven projects. In the beginning years of the Local Street Preservation Program, formerly the “Save Our
Streets Program,” the program focused on preserving streets in fair to poor condition. In 2009, after making
significant progress on these roads, the City refocused the program to rebuilding streets that were in very
poor condition.
The goal of the Local Street Preservation Program is to improve the Local Street system to an overall PCI
rating of 70 (out of 100 scale rating). The current condition of the Local Street network is in fair condition
(PCI Rating of 69). The Local Street Preservation Program is very close to achieving its goal. Local street
improvements scheduled for 2016 and 2017 are shown on Map 6 –Planned Local Street Program Projects.

LOCAL STREETS PRESERVATION
FUNDING
In 2004 the public expressed concern over the condition of local streets, however funding for local streets
had dropped dramatically in the preceding years and the City could not afford to make the needed
improvements (see Figure 1). In response to the situation, the City proposed a funding measure which was
approved by Auburn citizens in the November 2004 General Election. The original funding measure allowed
the City’s property tax levy to generate additional revenue for a dedicated local street fund which is used
solely to fund a local street preservation and improvement program, called the Save Our Streets (SOS)
Program. At the end of 2012, the practice of funding the SOS Program from property taxes ended . In 2013,
the City Council earmarked sales taxes from new construction to be dedicated to the SOS Program, and all
property taxes were retained in the General Fund.
In 2005, the City had
approximately 59 miles of local
streets that were in need of repair
(this mileage includes streets that
were later annexed into the City in
2008). Since 2005, the SOS
Program has improved the
condition of 48 miles of those City
streets, however as time passes,
other streets in our network age
and their condition continues to
deteriorate. In the next few years,
additional streets will need to be
maintained and/or rebuilt to keep
the street system healthy.

The City of Auburn had three major paving projects in construction in 2015 which were funded by
the Arterial and Collector Street Preservation and Local Street Preservation funds . The 2014
Citywide Arterial Pavement Patching and Overlay Project, Map 7, was carried forward to spring
2015 in order to complete the project in better weather conditions and to take advantage of a
more favorable bidding period. The 2015 Citywide Arterial Pavement Patching and Overlay Project,
Map 8, was awarded in the summer of 2015 and completed construction in early 2016. Lastly, the
2015 Local Street Pavement Reconstruction Project, Map 9, was constructed during the summer
and fall of 2015. These projects and several utility projects that had pavement restoration
components accounted for preservation or reconstruction of over 11 miles of Auburn roadways
including: 0.9 miles of pavement reconstruction; 2.4 miles of pavement patching and overlay; 4.8
miles of pavement grind and overlay; and 3.4 miles of extensive pavement patching.
2014 Citywide Pavement

2015 PRESERVATION PROJECTS
This project improved City streets
by grind and overlay of one mile of
arterial and collector streets,
pavement patching on 9.5 lane-
miles of arterial and collector
streets;thick overlay of 0.4 lane-
miles of arterial and collector
streets;and thin overlay of one
lane-mile of local residential
streets as part of the Save Our
Streets Program.It also included
replacement of 30 curb ramps to
meet Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA)requirements in the
project area as shown on Map 7.
This work was funded by Local
Street and Arterial Street
Preservation Program funds.
This project preserved and
enhanced City streets by grinding
and overlaying approximately one
mile of arterial and collector
streets,patching pavement on
approximately two miles of
arterial and collector streets,and
applying a thin overlay to over
3/4 of a mile of local residential
streets as shown on Map 8.The
project also replaced 28 curb
ramps to meet Americans with
Disabilities Act requirements.This
work was funded by Local Street
and Arterial Street Preservation
Program funds.
This project reconstructed 0.9
miles of local streets including:7th

PLANNED PRESERVATION PROJECTS
Staff will be conducting the street selection processes for the Arterial and Local Street Programs to identify
additional streets that need to be addressed, and to prepare a long range plan to meet those needs in budget
years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Those streets will be prioritized and packaged together in projects for each year.
At the time of this report, the Local Street Program has identified project streets for reconstruction and thin
overlay for the 2017 budget year and the Arterial Street Preservation Program has won several competitive
grants for budget years 2016 through 2020.
11DI.J Page 163 of 181
The list of local streets that need to be
reconstructed is shrinking and will be
prioritized to align with the City Utility’s
planned budgets. Progress that has been
made on street reconstructions over the
past several years under the Local Street
Preservation Program. The program will
continue to reconstruct as many streets as
limited budgets will allow and preserve more
roads in fair condition. This approach will
continue to improve the condition of the
local street network overall.
FUTURE NEEDS MOVING FORWARD
We anticipate several issues that will need to be addressed and managed . One issue is that the data from the
latest pavement rating survey in 2013, when compared to the previous pavement rating surveys, suggests that
as the pavement ages the condition of the pavement is degrading at an accelerated rate. Since the previous
pavement ratings are from 2006 and 2008, it is difficult to draw this conclusion definitively. The need for
additional data is key to managing the City’s pavement network. We need to be able to focus our energy on
the correct projects at the correct times to maximize the use and benefit of our funding . Staff has contracted
for a 2016 pavement rating survey that is currently underway. That data should be available for use by end of
2016. At that time we’ll be able to analyze the data and determine if we are focusing our limited resources in
the most appropriate locations. If the data shows that the pavement is in fact degrading at an accelerated
rate, then additional funding to preserve more of the existing pavements may be needed to obtain the City’s
desired goal of an average PCI rating of 70.
Another issue is that as we continue to improve the streets that can be preserved by conventional methods,
we have more arterial and collector streets that are in various states of disrepair and will need to be
reconstructed in the next several years. Many of our arterial and collector streets do not have adequate
pavement structure to endure the current level of traffic loading that uses them, so preserving these roads
may not result in good long-term performance. The lack of adequate pavement structure for these major
roads likely contributes to an accelerated decline in pavement condition. The cost of rebuilding one of these
roadways would require combining several years of funding in the Arterial and Collector Program, at the
current funding levels. Additional funding streams will need to be identified to address the larger issues on
our arterial and collector street network. The longer we wait to reconstruct a street means greater costs to
maintain the street; additional complaints from the traveling public; and greater strain on existing funding
sources to address these issues.

Homelessness Taskforce Update
Budget Impact:
$0
Administrative Recommendation:
Background Summary:
In response to community concerns about the growing number of homeless
individuals in the City, Mayor Nancy Backus created the "Auburn Mayor’s
Homelessness Task Force" in November 2015. The Task Force was composed of 17
individuals representing a diversity of residents, businesses, service providers and
faith community stakeholders in Auburn. The mission of the Task Force was to: "…
seek to better understand the scope and causes of homelessness in Auburn, the
systems in place to address homelessness, and…consider the range of concerns and
ideas identified by the community. The Task force will identify and recommend a set of
short-term and longer-term actions that our community can undertake to address
these issues." The task force completed their requested action plan in April 2017.
This information will update the City Council and citizens on the progress towards the
action plan that was presented to the Mayor and City Council on May 23, 2016 and to
also share the feedback from the reconvening of the task force for six month check in.
Attached is the updated action plan and progress towards the task force
recommendations.
