Administrative Recommendation:
City Council conduct the public hearing. For further action on this item, see Resolution
No. 5258.
Background Summary:
The Auburn City Council adopted Resolution No. 5187 on December 7, 2015 which
established a moratorium on residential uses within the Light Commercial (C-1) zoning
designation. The term of the moratorium is one year and is set to expire on December
6, 2016. The purpose of Resolution No. 5258 is to extend the moratorium for an
additional 6 months.
The purpose of the extension is to allow the City to complete its work plan as it relates
to updating the C-1 zone and its consideration of the appropriateness of residential
uses within said zone. Thus far, staff has developed draft code amendments that have
been considered by the Planning Commission who has also conducted a public
hearing on the matter. Additionally, City staff is currently considering a privately
initiated code amendment regarding mixed uses that are allowed within the C-1
zone. The extension of time will allow the Planning Commission to reach a final
recommendation on the initial draft amendments and to incorporate any further
modifications into their recommendation as it pertains to the privately initiated code
amendment pertaining to allowed mixed uses.
Staff does not anticipate needing the full 6 months to complete this process but is
requesting this timeframe in order to minimize the likelihood of City Council needing to
consider additional extensions.
Resolution No. 5258 includes one modification to the previously adopted Resolution
No. 5187. Supportive Housing is a term that is defined in the Auburn City Code as
one form of multi-family residential. Supportive Housing is characterized as housing
that is owned or sponsored by a nonprofit corporation or government entity and that is
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDPH.1 Page 4 of 131
designed for occupancy by individual adults that are either homeless/at risk of
homelessness, are experiencing a disability that presents barriers to employment and
housing stability, or that generally requires structured supportive services to be
successful in the community. It is housing that is intended to provide long term, rather
than transitional housing. Resolution 5258 specifically exempts from the moratorium
existing legally established Supportive Housing located in the C-1 zone from their
ability to expand, redevelop, or alter their existing use provided that any applications
submitted for expansion, redevelopment or alteration must also be accompanied by a
Development Agreement.

all of the factors involved with residential uses in the C-1 zone and with designating

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES as follows:
Section 1. Moratorium Established. Pursuant to RCW 35A.63.220, a
moratorium is hereby imposed prohibiting fhe City from receiving and/or processing any
applications for any re.sidential uses in any C-1 zoning districts in the City of Auburn,
Section 2. Term of Moratorium, The moratorium imposed by this resolution
shall become effective on the date hereof, and shall continue in effect for an initial
period of one year, unless repealed, extended or modified by the City Council after
subsequent public hearing(s) and entry of appropriate findings of fact pursuant to RCW
Resolution No 5187
November 17, 2015
Page 3 of 6PH.1 Page 8 of 131
35A.63.220, provided that the moratorium shall automatically expire upon the effective
date of business licensing, zoning and land use regulations adopted by the City Council
to address residential uses in the C-1 zone and C-1 land uses in the City of Auburn.
Section 3. Preliminary Findings. The following preliminary findings of fact
are hereby adopted:
A. That current permitted C-1 land uses include residential uses, including
caretaker apartments, live/work and work/live units, multi-family dwellings as part of a
mixed-use development, standalone multiple-family dwellings, nursing home and
assisted living facilities, and senior housing, which residential uses raise the question of
consistency with the intended purposes of the C-1 zoning district, which residential uses
have the poten4ial for significant impacts on abutting commercial prbperties and
adjacent properties in the community.
B. That current designation of C-1 zoned properties, likewise, has the
potential for significant impacts on commercial and residential neighborhoods and the
community, depending on allowed and permitted uses.
C. That because of the potential impacts of these uses and designations,
there is a need to fairly and reasonably evaluate, consider options and develop
appropriate legislation that satisfactorily addresses the C-1 residential use concerns and
related impacts on the City.
D. It is appropriate for City staff to collect and compile documentation,
information, testimony and statements of concerned citizens of the City and of other
persons interested in or familiar with the issues of C-1 residential uses, and consider
their impacts in order to fully explore ways to protect the City and its citizens from the
adverse impacts of such uses.
Section 4. Conclusion. Based on the above Findings of Fact, the City Council
concludes that the City has the authority to establish a moratorium, and that it is
appropriate and necessary to establish a moratorium to evaluate impacts, consider
options and decide how best to identify permitted C-1 residential uses and identification
of properties to be designated as being within the C-1 zoning district, as a stop-gap
measure in order to 1) provide the City with an opportunity to study the pertinent issues
Resolution No. 5187
November 17, 2015
Page 4 of 6PH.1 Page 9 of 131
and alternatives; and 2) protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Auburn
by ameliorating the adverse impacts of C-1 related residential uses.
Section 5. Work Plan. The following work plan is adopted to address the
issues involving C-1 light commercial zone designation and residential land use and
related regulations:

to hold public hearings and public meetings to fully receive and consider statements,
testimony, positions and other documentation or evidence related to the issues of
permitted residential land uses of the C-1 and designation of properties in the C-1
zoning district.
B. That the Planning Commission and City staff are authorized and directed
to review the experiences of other jurisdictions, the status of legal cases, and statistical
data, information, studies and other evidence compiled by other municipalities, of the
implications and options for light commercial zone related uses and busines.ses as
identified in the Aubum City Code, and to review State and Federal law and any other
information that is pertinent to considerafion thereof.
C. That the City of Auburn Planning Comrimission shall work with City staff
and the citizenry of the City to develop prbposals for C-1 zoning district permitted uses,
and related considerations, to be forwarded in their recommendations to the City
Council for inclusion in ordinances and ultimate adoption as a part of the City Codes of
the City of Auburn.

Community Development and Public Works and other staff, shall periodically advise and

of the moratorium and any extensions thereof, until adoption of comprehensive

Administrative Recommendation: City Council to introduce and adopt Ordinance #6627 to revise
school impact fees for 2017.
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 no tebooks (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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 t o the city.
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 # 6341.
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 proport ionate 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 submitted to the city when the fee adjustment is requested to
increase.

Fees

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 b y 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 Capita l 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 fee 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. As
historically has been done, the draft Ordinance # 6627 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.
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 in effect of $506.00. Tanya Nascimento,
Student & Demographic Forecaster for the Federal Way Public Schools provided the following
explanation for the increase as follows:
ORD.A Page 26 of 131
Agenda Subject: Ordinance # 6627 related to adjusting School Impact
Fees
Date: November 29, 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.
Ordinance # 6627 has been prepared to reflect the multiple family school impact fees requested by the
Federal Way School District.
Scheduling of Actions
The City Council discussed the School District Capital Facilities Plans, school impact fee changes and
Ordinance # 6627 at its regular Study Session on November 28, 2016. City Council consideration is
planned for December 5, 2016.

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council 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.

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:

Process and Criteria for Requested Amendment
8. The Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment application seeks to change the designation of
two adjacent parcels; two of the four parcels owned by the applicants. The northernmost
parcel, Parcel #3121059033 consists of 1.08 acres and next parcel, Parcel #3121059036
consists of 1.14 acres.
The two properties considered together are roughly rectangular in shape with the longer axis
oriented north-south and measuring approximately 500 feet.
9. The northern property the northern property (Parcel #3121059033) contains a single family
house. The southern property (Parcel # 3121059036) has recently had the single family
residence removed. Unoccupied buildings have temporarily been stored on-site under a
temporary use permit.
10. Both sites are bordered to the west by developed A ST SE (a.k.a. East Valley Highway)
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

Page 8 of 30
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.”

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. Ut ility 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
ORD.C Page 52 of 131

the relevant county and “Vision 2040: Growth and Transportation Strategy f or 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.

submitted a rezone application (File #REZ14-0001 and subsequently submitted an
environmental checklist application (File #SEP15-0022).
4. 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”.
5. The related rezone application (File #REZ14-0001) seeks to change the zoning designation
of an approximately 2.27-acre vacant parcel from the current designation of “R5,
Residential, Five dwelling units per acre” to “C1, Light Commercial”.
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 No. 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;

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 14-9 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
carefully sited under the conditional use permit process in order to ensure that an area's
pedestrian environment is not seriously affected.”

“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

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 f or 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.

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.

request for a Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment.
CPM #4 (CPA16-0002)
Amend the Official Comprehensive Plan Map for a City-initiated change to the designation of
three parcels totaling approximately 144.7 acres from “light Industrial” and “Institutional” to
“Heavy Commercial”. This change is proposed in anticipation of US Government, General
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
southwest corner of C ST SW and 15th ST SW. Parcels are 2421049004, 2521049114 &

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.
11. 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.
12. 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”.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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

Downtown Traffic Control Zone Map
Budget Impact:

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 6633.
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 truckers, the City is
proposing to revise City Code. Ordinance No. 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. 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.
Ordinance 6633 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 or make local deliveries.

Resolution No. 5258
Budget Impact:

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council adopt Resolution No. 5258.
Background Summary:
The Auburn City Council adopted Resolution No. 5187 on December 7, 2015 which
established a moratorium on residential uses within the Light Commercial (C-1) zoning
designation. The term of the moratorium is one year and is set to expire on December
6, 2016. The purpose of Resolution No. 5258 is to extend the moratorium for an
additional 6 months.
The purpose of the extension is to allow the City to complete its work plan as it relates
to updating the C-1 zone and its consideration of the appropriateness of residential
uses within said zone. Thus far, staff has developed draft code amendments that have
been considered by the Planning Commission who has also conducted a public
hearing on the matter. Additionally, City staff is currently considering a privately
initiated code amendment regarding mixed uses that are allowed within the C-1
zone. The extension of time will allow the Planning Commission to reach a final
recommendation on the initial draft amendments and to incorporate any further
modifications into their recommendation as it pertains to the privately initiated code
amendment pertaining to allowed mixed uses.
Staff does not anticipate needing the full 6 months to complete this process but is
requesting this timeframe in order to minimize the likelihood of City Council needing to
consider additional extensions.
Resolution No. 5258 includes one modification to the previously adopted Resolution
No. 5187. Supportive Housing is a term that is defined in the Auburn City Code as
one form of multi-family residential. Supportive Housing is characterized as housing
that is owned or sponsored by a nonprofit corporation or government entity and that is
designed for occupancy by individual adults that are either homeless/at risk of
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDRES.B Page 127 of 131
homelessness, are experiencing a disability that presents barriers to employment and
housing stability, or that generally requires structured supportive services to be
successful in the community. It is housing that is intended to provide long term, rather
than transitional housing. Resolution 5258 specifically exempts from the moratorium
existing legally established Supportive Housing located in the C-1 zone from their
ability to expand, redevelop, or alter their existing use provided that any applications
submitted for expansion, redevelopment or alteration must also be accompanied by a
Development Agreement.
