Ordinance No. 6659 (Heid)
Date:

Ord 6659
Budget Impact:
Administrativ e Recommendation:
City Council adopt Ordinance No. 6659.
Background Summary:
Ordinance No. 6659 proposes to add a new Chapter 9.24 to the City Code. This chapter,
patterned af ter a similar code provisions in cities across the state, seeks to identif y certain
areas within the City as being subject to an anti-drug emphasis. Those portions of the City
that are identified as anti-drug emphasis areas could be used as an enf orcement tool for
people engaging in illegal drug activity in certain areas could be ordered to stay out of those
areas, and there f ailing to do so could constitute a public nuisance and a violation of the law
f or which penalties could be assessed. Samples of similar ordinances are included here with,
including samples from Tacoma, Lakewood, Marysville, Everett, Bothell, shoreline, University
Place and Arlington (proposed). Each of these ordinances, seeks to accomplish the same
thing that. Auburn’s proposed ordinance seeks to accomplish. Checking with prosecutors
involved with some of these jurisdictions, the assessment, we received was that this is a
valuable tool for the police, prosecutors, and courts to address recurring illegal drug activities
in certain areas. This ordinance would/could result in additional prosecution to address illegal
drug activity, but it gives the police an additional tool that would not otherwise be available. If a
person were convicted of a crime involving illegal drug activity in a certain area of the city that
has been identified as a drug emphasis area, the court order in the violation could include a
provision that restricts the violator from returning to that area. Other than where the violator
lives within one of the identif ied drug enf orcement areas, it would be advantageous for the
city, the police and neighbors to have people restricted f rom returning to locations where drug
activities were occurring. Again, the cities with whom we were able to check regarding their
similar ordinances expressed support for the use of such an ordinance.
Also, in connection with Ordinance No. 6659, although the drug emphasis areas are defined
in the ordinance, to assist in visualizing where those drug emphasis areas are within the city,

within an area designated as an anti-drug emphasis area, a condition or term of
sentence, deferral, or suspension, shall be that such defendant shall stay out of all
areas of the city designated as an anti-drug emphasis areas, unless there are

of court-imposed conditions of release or conditions of suspension or deferral of
any sentence shall constitute a separate crime hereby designated a gross
misdemeanor and any such person may be apprehended and arrested without the

illegal drug activity, or for loitering with the intent of engaging in drug-related
activity, when such offense was related to any business or commercial enterprise,

business or commercial enterprise is or was conducted, was used for illegal drug
activities.
9.24.070 Penalties for maintenance of public nuisance.
Maintenance of a public nuisance as declared herein, in addition to any

Re: Ordinance #6666 – 2017-2018 Budget Amendment #4
The City’s biennial 2017-2018 budget was approved by Council as two one-year appropriations. Budget
Amendments #1 and #2 amended the budget for calendar year 2017. Budget Amendment #3, which will also
amend the 2017 budget, will be brought to Council for consideration on December 4, 2017.
This amendment will be the fourth budget amendment for the biennium and the first budget amendment for
calendar year 2018. The purpose of this amendment is to 1) amend the 2018 budget for changes that
occurred in 2017 for which there is an ongoing fiscal impact; 2) to carry forward capital project budgets that
are not anticipated to be completed in 2017 and adjust other project budgets to match the 2018-2023 Capital
Facilities Plan (CFP); 3) to establish budget spending authority for new programs and other expected
changes in 2018; and 4) to allocate REET funds to three new street projects. Proposed amendments to the
2018 budget are as follows:
Adjustments of 2018 beginning fund balance due to 2017 budget amendments. Each approved
budget amendment in 2017 (in BAs #1 and #2, and proposed BA#3) that amended the 2017 budgeted
ending fund balance also affects the budgeted 2018 beginning fund balance. These adjustments, which
affect most funds, increase 2018 budgeted fund balance by $20,734,121.
Continuation of previously approved requests by Council. Items in this category were previously
approved by Council in 2017 and are ongoing items that need to be included in the 2018 budget. In
total, these items reduce budgeted 2018 ending fund balance by $465,400, and include:
• Revenue adjustments that are expected to continue in 2018 (such as property and utility taxes);
• Ongoing costs associated with the new Administrative Assistant FTE added in BA#2; and
• Corrections for unbudgeted items, not included in the adopted 2018 budget.
New funding requests. This category includes project adjustments as well as new funding requests
and other adjustments. In aggregate, these items increase budgeted 2018 ending fund balance by
$2,612,400.
Project adjustments include requested project expenses that were previously approved in 2017 but will
require carry forward to 2018, as well as other changes to project budgets to align with the 2018-2023
Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) that is scheduled to be adopted in December. Please refer to Attachment
1 for project revenue and expense budget changes in the Arterial Street Fund (#102), Local Street
Fund (#103), Arterial Street Preservation Fund (#105), Mitigation Fees Fund (#124), Parks
Page 48 of 238
Construction Fund (#321), Capital Improvements Fund (#328), Local Revitalization Fund (#330), Water
Utility Capital Fund (#460), Sewer Utility Capital Fund (#461), Storm Drainage Utility Capital Fund
(#462), Facilities Fund (#505), and the Equipment Rental Capital Fund (#560).
This budget amendment also restores REET funding, which had been diverted to street projects, to the
Tenth Green and Surrounds Rebuild project and Public Art program.
Other requests include revenue adjustments to reflect new revenue sources and increases in existing
revenue streams; requests to add new staffing; requests for increased funding for existing programs,
and funding requests for new projects or programs.
This budget amendment adds budget for the Auburn central parking garage and includes painting the
exterior and ramp work.
In this budget amendment, three new positions are being requested:
• Economic Development Coordinator, Administration Department (1.0 FTE, $121,400):
Funding is requested to hire an Economic Development Coordinator to provide capacity to
implement the strategies identified in the 10-Year Economic Development Strategic Plan.
• Maintenance Worker I-CDL, Storm Utility Fund (2.0 FTEs; $173,500): Funding is requested to
hire two additional maintenance workers to focus on inspection, cleaning, and repair of the
storm drainage system based on the requirements of the Department of Ecology’s National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
Funding for street preservation projects. Based on the recommendation of the ad hoc committee
on $20 car tab fees, this amendment would reduce 2018 ending fund balance by $2,212,400 by:
• Reallocating REET funds within the Capital Improvements Fund (Fund 328) by deferring
certain projects (see Attachment 2), plus adding a one-time transfer of $1,300,000 from the
Cumulative Reserve Fund.
• Funding three streets projects from those funds:
o West Valley Highway Paving $ 350,000
o Arterial Street Preservation Program $ 1,200,000
o S. 277th Street Pavement Preservation $ 662,400
o Balance to Fund 328 for future projects $ 679,100
The following table summarizes the current and revised budget as a result of this amendment.

Policy/Text Amendments and four associated rezones (zoning map amendments).
Background Summary:
The City of Auburn adopted amendments to its Comprehensive Plan in 1995 in response to the

Comprehensive Plan has been amended annually. The City adopted a substantially revised
Comprehensive Plan in December 2015.
Comprehensive plan amendments can be initiated by the City of Auburn (city-initiated) and by private

Nine policy/text amendments
Seventeen map amendments
Also, the city received one private-initiated plan map amendment by the June 9, 2017 submittal deadline.
This staff report and Planning Commission recommendation addresses all of this year’s amendments

Comprehensive plan amendments are initially reviewed during a public hearing process before the City of
Auburn Planning Commission, who then provides a recommendation to the City Council for final action.
City Council consideration and action on the amendments generally occurs but is not required prior to the
end of the year.

I. Background
The Planning Commission conducted two hearings on Comprehensive Plan Annual
Amendments, consisting of map and policy/text amendments.
At its October 18, 2017 public hearing, the Planning Commission considered the following
set of Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments:
A. Policy/Text (P/T) Amendments (File #CPA17-0001 – City-Initiated):
P/T #1 – Incorporate Auburn School District Capital Facilities Plan
P/T #2 – Incorporate Dieringer School District Capital Facilities Plan
P/T #3 – Incorporate Federal Way School District Capital Facilities Plan
P/T #4 – Incorporate Kent School District Capital Facilities Plan
P/T #5 – Incorporate City of Auburn Capital Facilities Plan
P/T #6 - Remove the discussion of a "Mixed Use" land use designation from the text of
the Plan and from the Land Use Map. The R10, R16, and R20 residential
zoning districts already allow for mixed uses (comprised of residential &
commercial) as permitted uses (See Table 18.07.020, Permitted Use Table ).
P/T #7 - Add text to add back the R5, Residential zoning district back in as an
implementing zone for the "Single Family" Land Use Designation. The 2015
Comp Plan this zone was inadvertently omitted as an implementing zoning
district of any Comp. Plan land use designation and must be corrected.
P/T #8 - Change the title of the land use designation of "Residential Transition" to
"Moderate Density Residential". Requested to revert to pre-2015 title of the
category. Provide a distinct and logical title for the category to address and
reflect the range of residential densities.
P/T #9 - Add the "R-10, Residential" and R-16, Residential" zoning districts back as
implementing zones for the "Residential Transition" or if recommended, to the
"Moderate Density Residential" Land Use Designation. In the 2015, Comp Plan
these zoning districts were inadvertently omitted as an implementing zoning
districts of any Comp. Plan land use designation.
B. Map (CPM) Amendments (CPA17-0001 – City-Initiated)
CPM #1 - Remove the discussion of a “Mixed Use" land use designation from the text of
the Plan and remove category from the Land Use Map. "The R-10, R-16 and R-
20 residential zoning districts already allow for mixed uses residential &
commercial) as permitted uses (See Table 18.07.020, Permitted Use Table).
(See also related P/T #6)
CPM #2 - Change the mapped land use designation of a 2.23-acre city-owned park
parcel from "Multiple Family Residential" to "Institutional". Parcel No.
0921059073 is located south of SE 310th ST, 820 feet west of 124th Ave SE.
CPM #3 - Change the mapped land use designation of a group of 4 privately-owned,
previously developed parcels from "Downtown Urban Center" to "Light Industrial"
to recognize and be more compatible with developed status of the properties at

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Comprehensive Plan Related Findings
1. The purpose of the City’s Comprehensive Plan is to provide a policy basis for development
regulations to ensure that the Comprehensive Plan and implementing regulations are
consistent, as required by the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) and the
following City Code provision:
Page 75 of 238

“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.”
2. RCW 36.70A.130 (The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA)) provides the
process for amendments to locally adopted GMA-compliant comprehensive plans. Except in
limited circumstances provided for in State law and repeated in City Code Section
14.22.060, comprehensive plan amendments shall be considered by the city no more
frequently than once per year.
3. The City of Auburn established a Friday, June 9, 2017 deadline for the submittal of private-
initiated comprehensive plan applications (map or policy/text). Notice to the public of the
application filing deadline was provided on the City’s website, published in the Seattle Times
Newspaper, and sent to a compiled notification list in April 2017. The City received only one
private-initiated plan map amendment (Nexus Youth & Families CPA17-0002 & REZ17-
0001). The City received no applications for policy/text amendments by the submittal
deadline.
4. The City of Auburn received annual updates to the four school district Capital Facilities
Plans whose districts occur within the City of Auburn. These Capital Facilities Plans, as well
as the City’s Capital Facilities Plan are referenced in the Capital Facilities element, of the
Auburn Comprehensive Plan and are processed as Policy/Text (P/T) amendments.
5. The environmental review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) for the school
district capital facilities plans were prepared individually by each school district acting as
their own lead agency, as allowed by state law.
6. The City conducted the environmental review under the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) for the city-initiated policy/text and map amendments. This resulted in a
Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) (File #SEP17-0014) issued for the City-initiated
Comprehensive Plan Amendments on September 19, 2017. The comment period ended
October 3, 2017 and the appeal period ended October 17, 2017. The City did not receive
any comments in response to the issuance of the Determination of Non-Significance (DNS).
A copy of the DNS and environmental checklist application is provided in the working binder.
Also, the City conducted the environmental review under the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) for the private-initiated Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment (File #CPA 17-0002)
and Rezone. This resulted in a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) (File # SEP17-
0012), for the Comprehensive Plan amendment and Rezone request issued on August 24,
2017. The comment period ended September 8, 2017 and the appeal period ended
September 22, 2017. One public comment was submitted (See Exhibit 8 under “CPA 17-
0002” at end of working binder); no appeal was filed.
7. Auburn City Code Chapter 14.22, (Amendments) outlines the process for submittal of
private-initiated amendments and the general processing of comprehensive plan
amendments as follows:

“Section 14.22.100, (Public Hearing Required by Planning Commission.)
A. The planning commission shall hold at least one public hearing on all proposed
amendments to the comprehensive plan. Notice of such public hearing shall be given
pursuant to Chapter 1.27 ACC and, at a minimum, include the following:
1. For site-specific plan map amendments:
a. Notice shall be published once in the official newspaper of the city not
less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of public hearing;
b. Notice shall be mailed by first class mail to all property owners of record
within a radius of 300 feet of the proposed map amendment request, not
less than 10 calendar days prior to the public hearing;
2. For area-wide plan map amendments:
a. Notice shall be published once in the official newspaper of the city not
less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of public hearing;
b. Notice shall be mailed by first class mail to all property owners of record
within the area subject to the proposed amendment;
c. Notice shall be posted in at least two conspicuous locations in the area
subject to the proposed amendment not less than 10 calendar days prior
to the date of the public hearing.
B. Notwithstanding the above, the director may expand the minimum noticing provisions
noted above as deemed necessary.
C. Planning Commission Recommendation. The planning commission shall conduct a
public hearing on all potential comprehensive plan amendments and shall make and
forward a recommendation on each to the city council. The planning commission
shall adopt written findings and make a recommendation consistent with those
findings to the city council.
D. The city council, if it elects to amend the comprehensive plan, shall adopt written
findings and adopt said amendments by ordinance.
E. State Review. All comprehensive plan amendments considered by the planning
commission shall be forwarded for state agency review consistent with RCW
36.70A.106.
F. Any appeal of an amendment to the comprehensive plan shall be made in
accordance with Chapter 36.70A RCW. (Ord. 6172 § 1, 2008.)”
8. Thus, Comprehensive Plan amendments are initially reviewed during a public hearing
process before the City of Auburn Planning Commission, who then provides a
recommendation to the City Council for final action. City Council consideration and action
on the amendments generally occurs, but is not required, prior to the end of the year.
9. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.106, the proposed comprehensive plan amendments outlined in
this agenda bill were sent to the Washington State Office of Commerce and other state
agencies as required for the 60-day state review. No comments have been received from
the Washington State Department of Commerce or other state agencies as of the writing of
this report.
10. Due to the nature of the city-initiated amendments and the scope and limited number of
private-initiated amendments, the optional process available in the city code for staff to hold
a public open house was not conducted.

11. With the City adoption of a substantially revised Comprehensive Plan in December 2015,
the need for some policy/text amendments and map amendments is needed to correct some
inadvertent changes. The changes are necessary to increase the consistency of the
Comprehensive Plan and zoning as required by ACC 14.22.050, “Conformance and
Consistency”. Each of the Policy/Text (P/T) and map (CPM) changes are shown in
greater detail behind the respective tabs of the ‘Working Binder’.
12. Three public notices were provided for the two different hearings. A public hearing notice
was published on October 5, 2017 in the Seattle Times newspaper which is at least 10-days
prior to the Planning Commission public hearing conducted on October 18, 2017 and public
hearing notices were published on October 17, 2017 (CPA17-0002-The private-initiated map
amendment was noticed separately.) and on October 21, 2017 (CPA17-0001) in the Seattle
Times newspaper which is at least 10-days prior to the Planning Commission public hearing
conducted on November 1, 2017.
III. Zoning Code Related Findings
13. In June 2017 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6655 which allows the Planning
Commission and City Council to consider associated map changes (for Comprehensive Plan
and Zoning map amendments), concurrently. This eliminates the need for the rezone
(zoning map amendment) to subsequently be heard and decided by the Hearing Examiner
through a separately scheduled hearing when it is related to a Comprehensive Plan map
amendment.
14. Chapter 18.68 ACC (Zoning) Amendments)) outlines the process for submittal of private-
initiated zoning amendments and the process. Per ACC 18.68.030(B)(1)(b), when the
Planning Commission is considering a rezone (zoning map amendment) which requires a
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendment, the public hearings shall be conducted
concurrently and a recommendation on both shall be forwarded to the City Council.

According to communication from Tanya Nascimento, Student & Demographic Forecaster of
the Federal Way Public Schools, there are several factors which have driven the multiple
family impact fees to increase quite significantly in this plan. One factor is the steady
increase in observed multiple-family student generation rates. In 2015, the first of three
multi-family developments was opened and fully occupied in the City of Federal Way. The
second was opened and occupied in late 2016 and the third was opened in fully occupied in
summer of 2017. The first two developments have been included in the generation rate
calculation for this plan. The specific generation rates can be found on Page 29. These
multiple-family complexes are generating more than one student per unit which is
significantly higher than past developments within the school district.
In addition to the high student generation rates, the district completed work with its Facilities
Planning Committee which determined a need for additional capacity at a number of
schools. As a result of this work, Phase II of the District’s plan will be placed on the
November ballot for a bond request. The facilities impacted during Phase II can be found on
Page 7 of the Capital Facilities Plan. Anticipated funding for this project can be found on the
Six-Year Finance Plan on Page 9. The Finance Plan outlines the anticipated timeline for
beginning and completion of the various projects. It is important to note that not all projects
within Phase II will create additional capacity. Only costs associated with increasing needed
capacity are used in the formula for calculating Impact Fees. The specific cost calculations
are outlined on Page 32 of the Capital Facilities Plan.

Incorporate the City of Auburn’s 6-year Capital Facilities Plan 2018-2023, 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). More specifically, RCW 36.70A.070(3)
of the GMA requires 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 defined as 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 systems, traffic signals, domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer
systems, parks and recreation facilities, and police and fire protection facilities. These capital
facilities include necessary ancillary and support facilities.
The memo dated September 27, 2017 prepared by the City’s Finance Department contained in
the working binder highlights the major changes in the CFP from last year’s CFP by projects
completed (removed) and projects added. The City of Auburn 6-year Capital Facilities Plan
2018-2023 is proposed to be incorporated by reference in the Comprehensive Plan, Capital
Facilities Element (Volume No. 3).

Planning Commission recommended approval of the City of Auburn’s 6-year Capital Facilities
Plan 2018-2023 to the City Council.

Remove the discussion of a "Mixed Use" land use designation from the text of the Plan and
from the Land Use Map. The R-10, R-16, and R-20 Residential zoning districts already
allow for mixed uses (comprised of residential & commercial) as permitted uses (See Table
18.07.020, Permitted Use Table).
Discussion
The Land Use Element (Volume No. 1) of the Comprehensive Plan at Page LU-6 provides
for a mapped land use designation of “Mixed Use”. This designation is found under the

heading of “Residential Land Use Designations” (Page LU-2), so it is appropriately
predominantly a “residential” designation. This focus is reinforced by the stated ‘description’
and ‘designation criteria’ of the Comprehensive Plan, which say:
“Description
This category shall be applied to those areas that are either now developed or are
reserved for multiple family dwellings. Densities may range from 20 to 24 units per acre.
These communities are served by transit, have non-motorized connections to
surrounding amenities and services, or have access to on-site nonresidential amenities
and services.”
“Designation Criteria
1. Previously developed high-density residential; or
2. Properties that are connected to single-family and nonresidential designations by the
Residential Transition designation or are adjacent to the Multifamily designation, and
meet the development parameters of the mixed-use designation.”
However, the R-10, R-16, and R-20 Residential zoning districts already allow for mixed uses
(comprised of residential & other uses) as permitted uses (See Table 18.07.020, Permitted
Use Table ).
Table 18.07.020
Permitted Use Table – Residential Zoning Designations (Excerpt)
Also, at Section ACC 18.04.625, the Code provides the following definition of “mixed use
development”:
“18.04.625 Mixed-use development.
“Mixed-use development” means a single unified development that incorporates the planned
integration of two or more different land uses consisting of some combination of office, light
industrial, hotel, retail, entertainment, public uses, along with residential uses . Mixed-use
development may be vertically oriented in one or more buildings, or horizontally distributed on a
development site. When horizontally distributed, the different uses may be constructed
concurrently and in separate phases, and should incorporate common and/or complementary

features and/or elements such as pedestrian walkways, access driveways, parking areas,
architectural themes, or other techniques that provide integration between uses on the site.”
The Comprehensive plan language goes on to provide that this designation would be
implemented by the “Mixed Use Residential” zoning district. This zoning classification does
not currently exist and there are no properties that have this zoning classification or a “Mixed
Use” land use map designation; therefore elimination of the "Mixed Use" land use
designation from the text of the Plan and from the Land Use Map does not negatively affect
any properties. It also does not reduce development potential since mixed use is already
allowed by the zoning code. Mixed use is currently allowed in the same areas that are
described as appropriate for the designation.
Staff does not question the value of having portions of the city where mixed use
development is allowed, but does not require a unique comprehensive plan designation to
achieve. See Exhibit: “Excerpt of Volume 1 – Land Use Element”, Page 4 in the working
binder
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Planning Commission recommended approval of the text amendment to remove the
discussion of a "Mixed Use" land use designation from the text of the Plan to the City
Council, as presented by staff.
P/T #7
Add text to add back the R-5, Residential zoning district back in as an implementing zone for
the "Single Family Residential" Land Use Designation. A significant portion of the city is
zoned R-5, Residential. In the 2015 Comp Plan this zone was inadvertently omitted as an
implementing zoning district of any Comprehensive Plan land use designation and must be
corrected.
Discussion
The Land Use Element (Volume No. 1) of the Comprehensive Plan at Page LU-4 provides
for a mapped land use designation of “Single Family Residential”. This designation is found
under the heading of “Residential Land Use Designations” (Page LU-2). The stated
‘description’ and ‘designation criteria’ of this land use designation provides:
“Description
This designation is the predominant land use category in the City. Maintaining and
creating a diverse arrangement of interconnected subdivisions, neighborhoods, and
communities that have a mix of densities and housing types; linkages with other
residential areas and commercial hubs through non-motorized modes, such as
pedestrian and bicycling, and vehicular modes will be encouraged.”
“Designation Criteria
1. Previously developed single-family residential areas;
2. Undeveloped areas that do not meet the designation criteria for other Residential,
Commercial, Industrial, or Public/Quasi- Public designations; or
3. Residential Conservancy areas that contain limited critical areas, are served by public
utilities (water, sewer, storm services), and meet the development parameters of the
single-family designation.”

“Implementing Zoning Designations
Residential 1 (1 dwelling unit per acre): All properties located within the Urban Separator
Overlay is zoned R-1, as consistent with King County county-wide planning policies.
Residential 7 (7 dwelling units per acre): All properties not located within the Urban
Separator Overlay is zoned R-7.”
The R-5 Residential (Five dwelling units per acre) zoning classification is not currently
identified as an implementing zoning district for any comprehensive plan land use
designation and needs to be. A significant portion of the city is zoned R-5, Residential. In
the 2015 Comprehensive Plan this zone was inadvertently omitted as an implementing
zoning district of any Comprehensive Plan land use designation and must be corrected by
adding the R-5, Residential (Five dwelling units per acre) zoning classification as an
implementing zoning district for the “Single Family Residential” land use designation. Some
other minor wording corrections proposed by staff are also shown. See exhibit “Excerpt of
Volume 1 – Land Use Element”, Page 1, in the working binder.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Planning Commission recommended approval of the text amendment to add a listing of
R-5 Residential zoning district as an implementing zone of the “Single Family
Residential” land use designation.
P/T #8
Change the title of the land use designation of "Residential Transition" to "Moderate Density
Residential". It is requested to revert to pre-2015 title of the category. Provide more logical
title for the category to address and reflect the range of residential densities. The
implementing zones "R-10, Residential" and "R-16, Residential" are proposed to be added.
Discussion
The Land Use Element (Volume No. 1) of the Comprehensive Plan at Page LU-5 provides
for a land use designation of “Residential Transition”. This was formerly the “Moderate
Density Residential” designation prior to adoption of the updated Comprehensive Plan in
2015. It is requested to revert to the pre-2015 title of the category since the ‘description’ and
‘designation criteria’ remain similar. The stated ‘description’ and ‘designation criteria’ of this
land use designation in the latest Plan provides:
“Description
Residential transition areas are planned to accommodate moderate densities of varying
residential dwelling types. Varying intensities within a transition area may be permitted
based on adjacent density, intensity, and/or character. Appropriate densities in these
areas range from 7 to 20 dwelling units per acre. Dwelling types generally range from
single-family dwelling to multiple-family dwellings, with larger structures allowed (within
the density range) where offsetting community benefits can be identified.”
“Designation Criteria
1. Previously developed moderate density residential areas; or
2. Areas that provide a transition between single-family and multifamily, single-family
and nonresidential, multifamily and nonresidential zones or development are adjacent
and meet the development parameters of the Residential Transition designation.”

The reversion back to the former name provides a distinct and logical title for the category to
address and reflect the range of residential densities. The name change also avoids
confusion that would likely occur to potential users by the similarly sounding “Residential
Transition Overlay” that was also part of the changes made in the 2015 Comprehensive
Plan. Also, the description does not provide for any different uses to serve as a ‘transition’,
only intermediate residential densities.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Planning Commission recommended approval of the text amendment to change the title
of the land use designation of "Residential Transition" to "Moderate Density Residential"
P/T #9
Add the "R-10, Residential" and “R-16, Residential" zoning districts back as implementing
zones for the "Residential Transition" or if recommended, to the "Moderate Density
Residential" Land Use Designation. Areas of the city are zoned "R-10, Residential" but no
areas are currently zoned "R-16, Residential". However, in the 2015, Comp Plan these
zoning districts were inadvertently omitted as an implementing zoning districts of any
Comprehensive Plan land use designation. To be corrected by adding R-10 and R-16 as
implementing zones to either the "Residential Transition" or "Moderate Density" Land Use
Designation.
Discussion
The Land Use Element (Volume No. 1) of the Comprehensive Plan at Page LU-5 provides
for a land use designation of “Residential Transition”. This was formerly the “Moderate
Density Residential” designation prior to adoption of the updated Comprehensive Plan in
2015. The title of the category is proposed to change as requested in the preceding text
amendment, P/T #8.
The implementing zones "R-10, Residential" and "R-16, Residential" are proposed to be
added as implementing zoning districts. The City currently contains properties zoned R-10
Residential; however, there are no properties currently zoned R-16, Residential. The R-10
Residential and R-16 Residential are not currently identified as implementing zoning districts
for any comprehensive plan land use designation and needs to be. The "R-10, Residential"
and "R-16, Residential" are proposed as implementing zoning districts for the “Moderate

Comprehensive Plan Map (CPM) Amendments (File No. CPA17-0001, City initiated)
CPM #1
Remove the discussion of a “Mixed Use" land use designation from the text of the Plan and
remove category from the Land Use Map (This is the same as P/T #6, above). The R-10, R-
16 and R-20 residential zoning districts already allow for mixed uses residential &
commercial) as permitted uses (See Table 18.07.020, Permitted Use Table). Thus it was
unnecessary to establish a unique land use designation to achieve a zoning district to allow.
Discussion
(This is the same topic as policy/text amendment P/T #6, but is repeated as a map
amendment since it requires revision to both the text and map of the comprehensive plan
document. See discussion and analysis under text amendment P/T #6. Also, note that a
map is not provided as an Exhibit since the “Mixed Use” is not shown on any properties on
the map; except in the legend because it does not apply to any properties.)
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Planning Commission recommended approval of the map amendment to remove the "Mixed
Use" land use designation from the Comprehensive Plan map (Map No. 1.1).
CPM #2
Change the mapped land use designation of a 0.98-acre city-owned park parcel from
"Multiple Family Residential" to "Institutional". Parcel No. 0921059073 is located south of
SE 310th ST, 820 feet west of 124th Ave SE.
Discussion
In 1996 the 0.98-acre property was part of a larger 2.23-acre property ownership by
Schneider Homes Inc. that was proposed for development as the ‘Pasafino Apartments’
while in unincorporated King County prior to annexation to the City of Auburn. In 1996 a
‘Petition for Annexation Agreement and Declaration of Covenant’ was executed between the
City and Schneider Homes Inc. in order for the City to provide water and sewer services to
the proposed apartment development located outside the city, but within the city’s
established utility service area. An ‘Amended Petition for Annexation Agreement and
Declaration of Covenant’ was executed on April 21, 1997. The Agreements provided that as
a condition of the City providing utility services, Schneider Homes Inc. would develop a park,
and after annexation, convey the developed park land to the City of Auburn without
obligation or cost. At the time of transfer, the city parks department would assume
maintenance responsibility. The property was annexed to the City of Auburn effective in
2008 by Ordinance No. 6121; however, the transfer of ownership of the park land did not
take place for many more years since the park land was not a separate parcel that could be
deeded separately to the City. A Boundary Line Adjustment (BLA) application (File #BLA14-
0005) was filed by Schneider Homes Inc. in May of 2014 to establish the park land as a
separate parcel. The processing of the BLA was delayed due to changes in property
ownership interest on the part of Schneider Homes Inc. for refinancing purposes. The BLA

was subsequently approved by the City and recorded on November 2, 2016 (Recording
#20161102900004) and the property subsequently conveyed to the City.
It was previously appropriate to have the Comprehensive Plan land use designation of
“Multiple “Family Residential" applicable to the site when it was privately-owned and part of
a larger parcel that is mainly developed with apartments. However, now that Parcel No.
0921059073 is a separate parcel, owned by the City and developed for park purposes, it is
appropriate for it to have an “Institutional” land use designation by the Comprehensive Plan
consistent with other park properties.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Planning Commission recommended approval of the map amendment to change the
mapped land use designation of 0.98-acre city-owned park parcel (Parcel No.

The sites have a “Downtown Urban Center" land use designation by the Comprehensive
Plan and are zoned DUC, Downtown Urban Center. The contiguous sites are located at the
northern edge of the “Downtown Urban Center" land use designation and bordered to the
north and the east by properties with an industrial designation. The sites align in a row north
to south and are bordered by public streets of C ST NW to the west; 3rd ST NW to the north
and by the Burlington Northern railroad to the east. The automobile body shop of A-1
Collision borders the sites to the south.
The two largest parcels, Parcel No. 5401600175 (0.7 acres) and Parcel No. 5401600235
(0.34 acres) have been developed for more than 25 years with structures and facilities that
are more appropriate characterized as “industrial uses” than suburban downtown
development. The configuration and location of the properties sandwiched between
transportation corridors makes them less suitable for redevelopment as downtown service or
retail type uses geared to leisure shopping. Also, due to the number of zoning inquiries, the
City staff has increasing become aware of the difficulty of the property owner in finding
tenants that can occupy the former farm supply building and meet the zoning use
regulations of the DUC zoning district. Also, few uses are capable of using the building with
limited physical alterations in order to avoid triggering consistency with Downtown Design
Standards and significant upgrades.

Comprehensive Plan Map (CPM) Amendments (File No. CPA17-0001, City initiated)
CPM #4
Change the mapped land use designation of south part of 2.15-acre, privately-owned,
developed parcel from "Residential Transition" to "Heavy Commercial".
Discussion
The 2.15-acre property was previously a smaller parcel and the comprehensive plan
designation boundary followed this original property boundary. In 2004, a boundary line
adjustment application was filed (File No. LLA04-0010), approved by the City, and recorded
(Recording No. 20040712003209). The boundary line adjustment expanded the parcel
boundary to include additional area to the south. The Comprehensive Plan land use
designation boundary was not simultaneously changed to correspond to the property
boundary change. In the intervening time, the fence contractor business has using the
expansion area as part of their yard. It is appropriate to make the change to avoid split
designation of a parcel where warranted by existing development pattern and setting. The
“Residential Transition” designation makes up a smaller portion of the lot, while the balance
is used by a fencing contractor. As shown on the map below, the designation change is
consistent with adjacent property located to the west.
Staff Recommendation
Planning Commission to recommend approval of a map amendment CPM #4 to change the
mapped land use designation of the southern part of a 2.15-acre, privately-owned, parcel
from "Residential Transition" to "Heavy Commercial" (Parcel No. 8695200020).

various sites. With adoption of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan and its associated map
changes, the properties were assigned an “Open Space” land use designation. These
properties are city–owned developed parks and contain play areas and active recreational
space. And the “Open Space” land use designation is not appropriate to apply to these
properties based on the discussion and clarification that occurred with the Planning
Commission during discussion of the “OS, Open Space zoning district in July and August of
this year. The land use designation is inconsistent with the designation criteria and purpose
of the "Open Space" land designation of the Comprehensive Plan (e.g. cemeteries and
active and mainly developed parks should not be designated "Open Space"). Also, for most
parcels the zoning map classification also needs to change from “OS, Open Space” to “I,
Institutional” to agree.
Staff Recommendation
Planning Commission to recommend approval of a map amendment CPM #6 to change the
mapped land use designation of multiple City-owned, parks properties from "Open Space" to
"Institutional" land use designation and to change the zoning designation (File No. REZ17-
0002), to correspond to the “I, Institutional” implementing zoning classification, except for
Parcel Nos. 1821059327, 1821059117, & 8581400530 which are already zoned: “I,

Comprehensive Plan and its associated map changes, the properties were assigned an
“Open Space” land use designation. These properties are Muckleshoot Tribal owned
properties that are developed as cemeteries. In addition, the “Open Space” land use
designation is not appropriate to apply to these properties based on the discussion and
clarification that occurred with the Planning Commission during discussion of the “OS, Open
Space zoning district in July and August of this year. The land use designation is
inconsistent with the designation criteria and purpose of the "Open Space" land designation
of the Comprehensive Plan (e.g., cemeteries or parks developed for active recreation should
not be designated "Open Space").

WY SE. The change is requested to remedy an inadvertent change of mapped land use
designation with adoption of map as part of 2015 plan adoption. It is requested to revert to
pre-2015 designation of "Light Commercial". Also, change the zoning designation from “R5,
Residential” to “C1, Light Commercial” to agree.
Both properties were annexed to the City of Auburn from the City of Pacific in the year 2003
by City of Auburn Ordinance No. 3643. Prior to the annexation, the northern parcel (owned
by Mr. Clayton) was zoned “C, Commercial” and the southern parcel (now owned by John
Nixon) was zoned “RMH, Multiple Family Residential” in the City of Pacific. Mr. Clayton’s
zoning designation of “C, Commercial” was a result of an application for zone change
requested by Mr. Clayton and approved by the City of Pacific in Aug ust of 1992 by
Ordinance No. 1177 (The rezone was to the zoning classification of “BC, Business
Commercial” which subsequently became “C, Commercial”.) At annexation to the City of
Auburn, the property assumed an “R-5, Residential” zoning designation by default, while the
comprehensive plan designation was made “Light Commercial”.
Of late, Mr. Clayton has been contacting the City almost annually requesting that the city
initiate a change in the zoning designation back to a commercial category. He has always
had the ability to submit a private application to initiate the zoning map change himself, and
has been advised of this, but was reluctant.
The ‘working binder’ under the ‘Map Amendments’ tab and CPM #8, contains a letter from
Mr. Clayton dated July 18, 2017 and supporting information in which he describes the
history and his request to have the zoning changed.
The southern parcel prior to 2015 had a comprehensive plan designation of “Light
Commercial” and was previously was zoned “R-5, Residential”. These 2 parcels are the
only parcels on the east side of A ST SE, in the vicinity that have a Comprehensive Plan
designation of “Single Family Residential”. The adjacent properties to the south were
changed to “light Industrial” due to private com plan application last year. The properties to
the north have a comprehensive plan designation of “Institutional”.
While the comprehensive plan designation was changed in 2015 to “Single Family
Residential”, to align with the property’s R-5 Residential zoning, it is the zoning classification
that should have been changed. The City now seeks to rectify the circumstances by
changing the both the comprehensive plan designation and zoning for both parcels

ST SE between 15th and 16th ST SE. According to KC Assessor records, the property is
developed with two, 2-story buildings as the "Mayfield Apartments" containing 31 dwelling
units. The change would remedy an inadvertent change of mapped land use designation as
part of 2015 plan adoption and revert to the former designation.
Staff Recommendation
Planning Commission to recommend approval of a map amendment CPM #17 to change
the land use designation of an approximately 0.71- acre privately-owned and developed
parcel from "Residential Transition" to "Multiple Family" (Parcel No. 1921059271).

2. The Comprehensive Plan amendment seeks to change the designation of three parcels from “Single
Family Residential” with a “Residential Transition Overlay” to “Light Commercial”. The parcels are
King Co. Parcel Nos. 192105-9142, 192105-9145, and 192105-9077; and the addresses are 911 ‘H’
St. SE, 915 ‘H’ St. SE, and 921 ‘H’ St. SE. The three parcels total approximately 0.72 acres. See
Exhibit 10.
3. Similarly, the Rezone (zoning map amendment) seeks to change the classification of the same three
parcels from “R-7, Residential Seven Dwelling Units per Acre” to “C-1, Light Commercial”. The
parcels are King Co. Parcel Nos. 192105-9142, 192105-9145, and 192105-9077; and the addresses
are 911 ‘H’ St. SE, 915 ‘H’ St. SE, and 921 ‘H’ St. SE. See Exhibit 11.
4. As indicated by the Applicant’s narratives (See Exhibit 12 and Exhibit 13), the requested changes are
to accommodate future expansion of the Nexus Youth & Families Campus. Nexus Youth & Families
(formerly Auburn Youth Resources (AYR)) is a non-profit organization that provides mental health
counseling for youth, groups and families through chemical dependency prevention, treatment and
aftercare and homeless services of emergency shelter, intercept homeless youth through a street
outreach program and provide supportive housing across South King County. The facilities at this
location include a clinic, 2 administrative buildings, 2 youth shelters, storage buildings, and the
Arcadia House which will be under construction soon (Arcadia House is a replacement building for an
existing supportive house, which will be demolished). See Exhibit 14 for reference.
5. At its ultimate buildout, the Nexus Campus will intend to serve homeless youth and single mothers
through provision of permanent supportive housing, clinic services, and case management and
support services. Nexus has also requested in the Rezone request for a new use to be added to the
C-1, Light Commercial zoning district that fully encompasses their proposed uses; this text
amendment will be subsequently considered under a separate application and presented to Planning
Commission after review of the 2017 Comprehensive Plan amendments have been completed.
6. The current Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation, zoning classification, and current land uses
of the subject properties and surrounding properties are as follows:
Comp Plan Designation Zoning Classification Existing Land Use

the alley will be widened to 20 ft. to support emergency services in conjunction with the Arcadia
House construction (the alley is currently approximately 12 ft. wide). The remainder of the alley will be
widened with subsequent / future development of the Nexus Campus. Circulation plans for eventual

8. Based on historic zoning maps, the subject properties have had similar single-family zoning
designations since at least 1964 (note these parcels were annexed into the City in 1948). The
Comprehensive Plan designation has also been single -family since at least 1960.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RELATED – CONCLUSIONS:
The City code provides that applicant requesting a comprehensive plan amendment must
demonstrate that the request complies with the following decision criteria:
“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.”
These criteria are repeated in bold below, followed by a Staff Analysis indicated in italics. The Applicant’s
responses to these criteria are included as Exhibit 12.
Criterion #1 – ACC 14.22.110(A)(1): The proposed change will further and be consistent with the
goals and objectives of the plan and the plan will remain internally consistent.
Staff Analysis: The Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element, Page LU-9) provides the following
explanation for the “Light Commercial” Land Use Designation:
“Light Commercial
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. Such areas should enc ourage
walkability, leisure shopping, engaging public space, and should provide other amenities
conducive to attracting shoppers.
Designation Criteria
1. Previously developed light commercial areas buffered from more intense commercial or
industrial designations by landscaping or environmental features; or
2. Located along arterial or collector streets;
3. Properties that are buffered from the Single Family designation by landscaping, environmental
features, or the Residential Transition designation; and
4. Meets the development parameters of the Light Commercial designation.

Implementing Zoning Designations
Light Commercial
Policies
Policy LU-60. A wide range of consumer-oriented goods and services are compatible within this
designation since creating an attractive shopping environment is a primary
emphasis. Permitted uses would consist of local-serving and community-serving
retail trade, offices, personal services, eating establishments, financial
institutions, governmental offices, and similar uses.
Policy LU-61. Parking lots must be located and designed in a manner that softens their
appearance from adjacent public roads. This is accomplished through
landscaping, pedestrian spaces, and the location of buildings on the property.
Where practicable, low impact development techniques and landscaping should
be used to promote on site stormwater infiltration and shading of hard surfaces.
Minimum and maximum parking ratios must be established for each type of
permitted use.
Policy LU-62. Development incentives should be established that encourage the creation of
electric car charging stations, use of sustainable building and/or operational
practices, development of non-motorized infrastructure, and proximity and
connection to public transit.
Policy LU-63. Multiple family dwellings are only allowed 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.
Policy LU-64. Drive in windows should only be allowed accessory to a permitted use, and only
when carefully sited under the administrative use process, in order to ensure that
an area's pedestrian environment is not compromised.
Policy LU-65. Large scale regional retail uses and uses which rely on direct access by veh icles
or involve heavy truck traffic (other than for merchandise delivery) are not
appropriate in this category.
Policy LU-66. Unsightly outdoor storage and similar activities should be prohibited.
Policy LU-67. Encourage adaptive reuse, particularly of historic properties.
Policy LU-68. Upzone requests to the next zone should be approved based on the innovations
in transportation and stormwater management and public amenities proposed for
the development associated with the request.”
Per ACC 18.23.030(C), the intent of the C-1, Light Commercial zoning district 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 attr acts pedestrian-
oriented activities. This zone encourages leisure shopping and provides amenities conducive to
attracting shoppers and pedestrians.”
As identified in the C-1 intent statement above, this zoning district allows provisions for retail uses as
well as professional services. Nexus does not engage in any retail or commercial uses, however,
does provide professional services such as counseling for homeless youth and single mothers. Nexus
has also applied for a zoning text amendment to include their specific unique set of uses and facility
as an allowed use in the C-1 zoning district (to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City
Council at a future date).

With the described emphasis on commercial uses, an argument could be made that the C-1 zone
may not be the most suitable location for this type of facility, However, an argument could also be
made that this is a suitable use for this location; 1) with the exception of the Bartholomew parcel, the
other 2 parcels as well as two located to the west are already owned and operated by Nexus as
similar uses (although to a much-lesser scale), 2) the campus fronts-on and has direct access to
Auburn Way S, a principal arterial, 3) there is an existing Metro transit stop in front of the campus that
can serve the population, 4) the campus has an intervening alley right-of-way to the north, providing a
delineated separation to the existing single-family homes, and 5) there are existing public services
and facilities located in close proximity to the campus, including the library, community center, and
Nexus’ other service (e.g. clinic) that the homeless occupants can utilize.
Other applicable policies from the City’s Comprehensive Plan that support the Nexus applicat ion are
as follows:
From the ‘Core Plan’:
Policy 11. Participate in and support efforts to provide solutions for persons experiencing
homelessness.
Policy LU-30. Encourage development of permanent supportive housing to address the
homeless population and those with special needs.
Policy H-10. Provide a land use plan and zoning that offers opportunities to achieve a variety
of housing styles and densities for private and non-profit housing providers.
Policy H-31. Encourage and support human and health service organizations that offer
programs and facilities for people with special needs. Support programs in
particular that help people to remain within the community, including those that
are veterans, disabled, seniors, single parent households, and the homeless.
Policy H-43. Work with other jurisdictions and health and social service organizations to
implement a coordinated, regional approach to homelessness.
Policy H-47. Support nonprofit organizations during all stages of siting and project planning
and when applying for county, state, and federal funding.
Criterion #2 – ACC 14.22.110(A)(2): Whether the capacity to provide adequate services is
diminished or increased.
Staff Analysis: The proposed application for a change in the Comprehensive Plan designation has
been reviewed by the City’s Utilities division, Traffic division, and the Valley Regional Fire Authority.
Based on these reviews, the change would not adversely affect the provision of services. As is
typical with development in the City, adequate infrastructure improvements will be required to be
provided concurrent with future development. Although the specific construction activity for the three
subject parcels is still in the master planning stages and thus not exactly known, future development
is not anticipated to be detrimental to public services. Traffic impacts will be reviewed once the
campus planning by the applicant has been finalized to ensure accurate mitigation measures are
provided (through Applicant preparation and City review of a Traffic Impact Analysis).
Criterion #3 – ACC 14.22.110(A)(3): Assumptions upon which the comprehensive plan is based are
found to be invalid.
Staff Analysis: While the policies of the Comprehensive Plan are not invalid, the Applicant’s request
to change three parcels from residential to commercial designations are consistent with the

designations and uses in the immediate vicinity. The subject parcels are bordered by other parcels
owned by Nexus that are part of the campus and campus is bordered on three sides by public rights-
of-way and to the south is a City-owned parking lot (west of the Library). The requested change is a
logical expansion of the Light Commercial land use designation for this particular use.
Criterion #4 – ACC 14.22.110(A)(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.
Staff Analysis: A change is proposed for three parcels to Light Commercial which is consistent with
the adjacent parcels to the south and west, all of which are also owned by Nexus. A change in
conditions or circumstances would be the increasing number of homeless persons. Nexus seeks to
assist the community and help vulnerable homeless populations of the youth/young adults and single
mothers. Also, as stated under Criterion #1, above, the Comprehensive Plan lists numerous
goals/policies to respond to homelessness.
Criterion #5 – ACC 14.22.110(A)(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.
Staff Analysis: The change, if approved, would continue to be consistent with the Growth
Management Act (Chapter 36.70A RCW), the King County Countywide Planning Policies and Puget
Sound Regional Council’s Vision 2040. The proposal is consistent because it furthers provision of
services and housing for the homeless population.
Criterion #6 – ACC 14.22.110(A)(6): If the request is to change the land use designation of a
specific property on the comprehensive plan land use map, 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.
Staff Analysis: The requested change is consistent with Item b in that the adjacent properties to the
west and south also have the comprehensive plan designation of “Light Commercial”.
REZONE (Zoning Map Amendment) RELATED – CONCLUSIONS:
Chapter 18.68 ACC ((Zoning Code) Amendments) specifies the intent and process for zoning code
amendments; in this case, a site-specific zoning map amendment has been requested. While the City
Code does not contain any rezone criteria; case law offers some criteria (“A Little Bit Pregnant: The Multi-
Personalities of Site Specific Rezones - Or - A Cheat Sheet for Everything You Need to Know about Site-
Specific Rezones”, by Phil Olbrechts on MSRC.org, April 1, 2013) as follows:
“…require that the proponents of a rezone must establish that conditions have substantially changed
since the original adoption and that the rezone must bear a substantial relationship to the public
health, safety, morals or welfare. If a rezone implements the comprehensive plan, a showing that a
change of circumstances has occurred is not required.”
With the change in City procedures by Ordinance No. 6655 to allow concurrent recommendations by the
Planning Commission on both the Comprehensive plan and zoning map changes, the recommendations

on each should be consistent and therefore the rezone will implement the comprehensive plan
designation, making it unnecessary to demonstrate that a change in circumstances has occurred.
Related to the other criteria, the requested rezone bears a substantial relationship to the public health,
safety, morals, and welfare. Adequate public facilities such as water and sewer services are capable of
being provided for the parcels at future development and would therefore not be detrimental to public
health. The rezone itself is not anticipated to allow uses that would pose any detrimental effects on the
morals or welfare of the public; the uses planned by Nexus as a redeveloped campus generally are
beneficial to the community by serving a vulnerable population. As for impacts to public safety, the
proposed Nexus facilities could be seen to have either favorable or unfavorable impacts. Providing
services for homeless youth could attract this special population to the neighborhood that may not already
be present, however, the services are also intended to assist by providing shelter and integration into
productive society.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Planning Commission recommended approval of the Nexus Youth & Families request for a
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendment for three parcels from “Single Family
Residential” with a “Residential Transition Overlay” to “Light Commercial”; and a rezone (zoning
map amendment) from “R-7, Residential” to “C-1, Light Commercial”.

5. In June 2017 the City Council adopted Ordinanee No. 8655 which allows the Plan.ning Commiss.ion
and City Couneil to consider associated map changes(for Comp. Plan and Zoning map
amendments), concurrently. This eliminates the need forthe Hearing Examiner to subsequently
consider a zoning map amendment public hearing when it is related to a Comprehensive Plan map
amendment.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONE REQUEST—STAFF ANALYSIS:
1. The Comprehensive Plan amendment seeks to change the designation of three parcels from "Singie
Family Residential" with a"Residential Transition Overlay"to" Light Commercial". The parcels are
King Co. Parcel Nos. 192105-9142, 192105-9145, and 192105-9077; and the addresses are 911 `H'
St. SE, 915 'H' St. SE, and 921 'H' St. SE. The three parcels total approximately 0.72 acres. See

2. Similarly, the Rezone request seeks to change the classification of the same three parcels from "R-7,
Residential Seven Dwelling Units per Acre"to"C-1, Light Commercial". The parcels are King Co.
Parcel Nos. 192105-9142, 192105-9145, and 192105-9077; and the addresses are 911 `H' St. SE,
915 'H' St. SE, and 921 'H' St. SE. See Exhibit 11.
3. As indicated by the ApplicanYs narratives (See Exhibit 12 and Exhibit 13), the requested changes are
to accommodate future expansion of the Nexus Youth &Families Campus. Nexus Youth & Families
formerly Auburn Youth Resources (AYR))is a non-profit organization that provides mental health
counseling for youth, groups and families through chemical dependency prevention, treatment and
aftercare and homeless services of emergency shelter, intercept homeless youth through a street
outreach program and provide supportive housing across South King County. The facilities at this
location include a clinic, 2 administrative buildings, 2 youth shelters, storage buildings, and the
Arcadia House which will be under construction soon (Arcadia House is a replacement building for an
existing supportive house, which will be demolished). See Exhibit 14 for reference.

4. At its ultimate buildout the Nexus Campus will intend to serve homeless youth and single mothers
through provision of permanent supportive housing,clinic services, and case management and
support services. Nexus has also requested in the Rezone request for a new use to be added to the
C-1, Light Commercial zoning district that fully encompasses their proposed uses; this text
a.mendment will be subsequently considered under a separate applic.ation and presented to Planning
Commission after review of the 2017 Comprehensive Plan amendments have been completed:
5. The current Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation, zoning classification, and current land uses
of the subject properties and surrounding properties are as follows:
Com Plan Desi nation Zonin Classification Existin Land Use

6. The three parcels front onto'H' St. SE,which is classified as a'Local Residential' street; 'W'St.SE is
then connected to Auburn Way S ('Principal Arterial' classified sfreet)via 9th St. SE(`Local
Reside.ntial')and the unnamed alley on the north s.ide of the project site. Part of the western portion of
the alley will be widened to 20 ft. to support emergency services in conjuncfion with the Arcadia
House construction (the alley is currently approximately 12 ft.wide). The remainder of the alley will be
widened with subsequent/ future development of the Nexus Campus. Circulation plans for eventual
buildout would be to direct a majority of the traffic either direetly onto Auburn Way S or via the alley to
Auburn Way S. See the Conceptual CamPus Site Plan,E-xhibit 14.
7. Based on historic zoning maps, the subject properties have had similar single-family zoning
designations since at least 1964(note these parcels were annexed into the City in 1948). The
Comprehensive Plan designation has also been single-fam'i.ly s.ince at least 1960.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RELATED—CONCLUSIONS:
The purpose of the City's Comprehensive Plan is to provide a policy basis for potential future zoning
changes to ensure that the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance are consistent, as required by the
following City Code provision:
14.22.050 Conformance and consisfency.
The zoning, land division and other development cqdes contained or referenced within Auburn Cify
Code sha11 be consistent with and implement the intent of the comprehensive plan. Capital budgef
decisions shall be made in conformity with the comprehensive plan."
The City Code provides certain crite ia for decisions on amending the Comprehensive Plan under ACC
18.14,2_2.110.These criteria are lisfed below, followed by a Sta.ff Analysis in italics.The ApplicanYs
responses to these criteria are includeci in Exhibit 12.

1. Criterion#1 —ACC 14,22,110(A)(1):The proposed change will further and be consistent with the
goals and objectives of the plan and the plan will remain internally consistent.
StaffAnalvsis: The Comprehensive Plan(Land Use Element, Page LU-9)provides the following
explanation for the "Light Commercial"Land Use Designation;
Light Commercial
Description
This category represents the prime commercial designation for small to moderate scale
commercial activities. These commercial areas should be developed in a man,ner which is
consistent with and attracts pedestrian oriented activities. Such areas should encourage
walkabili.ty leisure shopping, engaging public space, and should provide other amenities.
conducive to attracting shoppers.
Desipnation Criteria
1. Previously developed light commercia! areas buffered from more intense commercia!or
indus.trial designations by landscaping or environmental features;or
2. Located along arterial or collecfor streets;
3. Properties that are buffered from the Single Family designation by landscaping, eavironmental
features, or the Residential Transition designation;and
4. Meets the development parameters of the Light Commercial designation.
Implementinq Zoninq Desiqnations
Light Commercial
Policies
Policy LU-60. A wide range of consumer-oriented goods and services are compatible within this
designation since creating an aftractive shopping environment is a primary
emphasis. Permitted uses would consist oflocal-serving and community-serving
retail trade, offices,personal services, eating establishments, nancial
institutions, governmerita.l o ces, and similar uses.
Policy LU-61. Parking lots must be located and designed in a man.ner that softens their
appearance from adjacent public roads. This is accomplished through
landscaping, pedestrian spaces, and the location of buildings on the property.
Where practicable, low impact development techniques and landscaping should
be used to promote on site stor.mwa.ter i"n ltration and shading of hard surfaces.
Minimum and maximum parking ratios must be established for each type of
permitted use.
Policy LU-62. Deve%pment incentives should be established that encourage the creation of
e%ctric car charging stations, use of sustainable building and/or opera#ional
practices, development of non-motorized infrastructure, and prozirnity and
connection to public transit.
Policy LU-63. Multiple family dwellings are only a.11owed as part of mixed-use developments
where they do not interfere wifh the shopping character of the area, such as
within the upper stories of buildings.
Policy LU-64. Drive in windows should only be allowed accessory to a permitted use, and only
when carefully sited under the administratiVe use process, in order to ensure that
an area's pedestrian environment is not compromised.
Policy LU-65. Large scale regional retail uses and uses which rely on direct access by vehicles
or i.nvolve heavy truek traffic(otlier than for merchandise delivery) are not
appropriate in this category.
Policy LU-66. Unsightly outdoor sforage and similar activities should be prohibited.
Policy LU-67. Encourage adaptive reuse,particularly of historic properties.

Policy LU-68. Upzone requests to the next zone should be approved based on the innovations
in transportation and stormwater management and public amenities proposed for
the e%velopment associa.tec/with the recjuest."
Per ACC 18.23.030(C), the intent of the C-1, Light Commercial zoning district is:
intended for lower intensity commercial adjacent to residential neighborhoods. This zone
generally serves as a transition zone between higher and lower inCensity land uses,providing
retail and professional services. This zone represents the primary commercial designafion 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 eonducive to
attracfing shoppers and pedestrians."
As identified in the C-1 intent sfatement above, this zoning disfrict allows provisions for retail uses as
well as professional services. Nexus does not engage in any retail or commercial uses, however,
does provide professional services for homeless youth and single mothers._Nexus has a/so applied
for a zoning text amendment to include ttieir specific type of facility as an allowable use in fhe C-1
zoning district(to be reviewed by the Planning Commission at a future date).
Although an argument could be made that the C-1 zone may not be the most suitable loeation for this
type of facility, looking a.t certain facts an argument could also be made that this is a sUitable use for
fhis location; 1) with the exception of the Bartholomew parcel, the other four parcels within fhe Nexus
campus are already owned and operated by Nexus as similar uses(although to a much-lesser sca/e),
2)the campus fronts-on and has direct access to Auburn Way S, a principal arterial, 3) there is an
existing Mefro transit stop in front of the.A.rcadia House, 4)the campus has an intervening alley righ#-
of-way to the north,providing a delineated buffer to the existing single-family homes, and 5) there are
existing public services and facilities located in close proximity to the campus, including the library,
community center, and Nexus'other seivice(e.g. clinic) that the homeless occupants could utilize.
Other applicable policies from the City's Comprehensive Plan that support the Nexus application are
as follows:
From the `Core Plan':
Policy 91.Participate in and support efforts to provide solutions for persons experiencing
homelessness.
Policy LU-30. Encourage development of permanent supportive housing to address the
homeless populafion and those with special needs.
Rolicy H-10. Provide a/and use plan and zoning that offers opportunities to achieve a variety
of housing styles and densities for private and non-pro t housing providers.
Policy H-31. Encourage and support human and health service organizations that offer
programs and facilities for people with special needs. Support programs in
particular that hefp people to remain within fhe community, including those that
are veterans, disabled, seniors, single parent households, and the homeless:
Policy H-43. Work with otber jurisdictiqns and health and socia.l service organizations to
implement a coordinated, regional approach to homelessness.
Policy W-47. Support nonprofit organizations during all stages of siting and project planning
and when applying for county, state, and federal funding.

2. Criterion#2—ACC 14.22.110(A)(2):Whe#her the capacity to provide adequate senrices is diminished
orincreased.
Staff Analysisr The proposed application for a change in the Comprehensive Plan designation ha.s
been reviewed by the City's Utilifies, Tra c division, and the Valley Regional Fire Authority. Based on
these reviews, the change would not adversely affect the provision of services. As is typical with
development in the Gity, adequate infrastructure improvements will be required to be provided
concurrent with future development. Although no specific construction acfivity is proposed o.r
permitted with this amendment, eventual buildout of these three parce/s in relation to the overall
Nexus Campus is not anticipated fo be detrimenta!to public services. Traffic impacts will be reviewed
once the campus planning by the applicant has been finalized to ensure accurate mitigation
measures a.re provided(through Applicant preparation and City review of a Traffic Impact Analysis).
3. Criterion#3—ACC 14.22.110(A)(3):Assumpfions upon which the comprehensive plan is based are
found to be invalid.
Staff Analvsis: While the policies of tlie Comprehensive Pla.n are not invalid, fhe Applican.Ys request
to change fhree parcels from residential to commercial designations are not out of character with the
designations or uses in the immediate vicinity. The Nexus Campus is bordered on three sides by
public rights-of-way and to the south is a City-owned parking lot The requested change is a logica!
expansion of the Light Commercial land use for this particular use.
4. Criterion#4—ACC 14.22.110(A)(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 fhe
comprehensive plan that dictates the need for a proposed amendment.
StaffAnal sis: The proposed cha..nge is for three parcels#o Light Corimmercial which is con.sistent with
fhe adjacent parcels to the soufh and west, all of which are a/so owned by Nexus. A change in
conditions or circumstances would be the ever-increasing number of homeless people. Nexus seeks
to help with the espeeially vulnerable homeless populations, the youth/young adults and single
mothe.rs.A/so, as stated under Criterion#1, atiove, fhe Comprehensive P/an lists numerous
goals/policies to address homelessness:
5. Criterion#5—ACC 14.22.110(A)(5): If applicable, a determination that a question of consistency
exists befinieen the comprehensive plan and Chapter 36.70A RCW, the countywide planning policies
for either King anci/or Pierce County, as appropriate, and Vision 2040: Growth and Transportation
Strategy for the Puget Sound Region.
Staff Analvsis: The change, if approved, would continue to be consisfenf wifh the Grqwth
Management Act(Chapter 36.70A RCV1, the King Gounfy Countywide Planning Policies and Vision
2040. The proposal is consistent because it furthers provision of service.s and housing for the
ho.meless population:
6. Criterion#6—ACC 14.22.110(A)(6): If the request is to change the land use designation of a specific
property on the comprehensive plan land use map, 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 cond'itions since the cur ent land use designation came into effect.
Staff Analvsis: The requested change is consisfent with item b in that the adjacent properties to the
west and south are designated Light Commercial.

Families Gomprehensive Plan Land Use._Amendment and Rezone.
REZONE RELATED-CONCLUSIONS:
The Applicant has re.quested a rezone from "R-7, Residential"to"C-1, Light GommerciaP'. Per ACG
18.68.030(B)(1)(b)if the rezone request also re.quires changes to the Comprehensive Plan, the Planning
Commission shall hold a public hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council. Chapt"er 18.68
ACC contains the intent and process for zoning code amendments, in this case a site-specific zoning map
amendment has been requested. Aubum City Code does not contain any specific rezone criteria for City
Staff to review; however, Case Law offers some rezone criteria("A Litt/e Bit Pregnant: The Multi-
Personalities of Site Speci c Rezones-Or-A Cfieat Sheef for Everything You Need to Know about Site-
Specific Rezones", by Phil Olbrechts on rnrsc.org,April 1, 2013)as follows;
require that the proponents of a rezone must establish that conditions have substantially changed
since the original adoption and-that the rezone must bear a substantial relationship to the public
hea.lth, safety, rimorals or welfare. If a rezone implements the comprehensive plan, a showing that a
change of circumstances has occurred is not required."
With the change in City procedures by ordinance No. 6655 to allow concurrent recommendations by the
Planning Commission on both the Comprehensive plan and zoning map changes, the recommendations
on.ea.ch should be consistent and therefore does not need to sfiow a change in circumstances has
occurred.
The requested rezone bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, morals and welfare.
Adequate putilic facilit'ies such as water, sewer, and electricity, are eapable ofi being provided for the
parcels upon future development and would therefore not be detrimental to public health, The rezone
itself is not anticipated to allow any uses or acts that would pose any detrimental effects on the morals or
welfare of the public;the uses planned by Nexus for future development of the campus would be a benefit
to the community by serving a vulnerable population. As for impacts to public safety, the proposed Nexus
fac'ilities could be seen to have favora.tile or unfavorable impacts. Providing services for homeless youth
could attract users to the neighborhood that may not typically be there, however, the services are also
intended to assist homeless youth to provide shelter and integrate into productive society.

an increase of$11,700.00. The actual impact fees are established by ordinance
through subsequent City Council action.
According to communication from Tanya Nascimento, Student& Demographic
Forecaster ofithe Federal Way Public Schools, there are several factors which have
driven the impact fees to increase quite significantly in this plan. One factor is the
steady increase in observed multiple-fam`ily student generation rates, In 2015, the
first of three multi-family developments was opened and fully occupied in the City of
Federal Way. The second was opened and occupied in late 2016 and the third was
opened in fully occupied this summec. The first two developments have been
included in the generation rate calculation for this plan. The specific generation rates
can be found on Page 29. These multiple-family complexes are generating more
than one student per unit which is significantly highe fhan past developments within
the school district.
In addition to the high student generafion rates, the district completed work with its
Facilities Planning Committee which determined a need for additional capacity at a
number of schools. As a resu.lt of this work, Phase II of the District's plan will be
placed on the November ballot fo a bond request. The facilities impacted during
Phase II can be found on Page 7 of the Capital Facilifies Plan. Anficipated funding
for fhis project can be found on the Six-Year Finance Plan on Page 9. The Finance
Rlan outlines the anticipated timeline for beginning and completion of fhe vacious
projects. It is important to note that not all projects within Phase II will create
additional capacity. Only costs associated with increasing needed capacity are used
in the formula for calculating Impact Fees. The specific cost calculations are outlined
on Page 32 of the Capital Facilities Plan.

Incorporate the City of Auburn's 6-year Capita.l Facilities Plan 2018-2023, 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#hat
a capital facilities plan include an inventory 9f existing capital facilities (showing locations
and capacities), a forecast of future neecis 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 facilifies with identified sources of funding. The proposed City of Auburn 6-year
Capital Facilities Plan 2018-2023 satisfies the GMA requirements for a capital facilities
element as part of the Comprehensive Plan.
Each comprehensive plan prepared urider the GMA must include a capital facilities plan
element. More specifically, RCW 36.70A.070(3) of fhe GMA requires the following:
A capital facilities plan element consisting of:
a)An inventory of exisfing eapital 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 finanee sueh 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 ineeting 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."

Remove the discussion of a "Mixed Use" land use designation from the text of the Plan and
from the Land Use Map. The R-10, R-16, and R-20 Residential zoning districts already
allow for mixed uses (comprised of residential &commercial) as permitted uses (See Table
18.07.020, Permitted Use Table).
Discussion
The Land Use Element( Volume No. 1) of the Comprehensive Flan at Page LU-6
provides for a mapped land use designation of"Mixed Use". This designation is found
under the heading of"Residential Land Use Designations" (Page LU-2), so it is
appropriately predominantly a "residential" designation. This focus is reinforced by the
stated `description' and `designation criteria' of the Comprehensive Plan, which say:
Description
This category shall be applied to those areas that are either now developed or are
reserved for multiple family dwellings. DenSifies may range from 20 to 24 units per
acre. These communities are served by transit, have non-motorized connections to
surrounding amenities and services, or have access to on-site nonresidential
amenities and services."
Designation Criteria
1. Previously developed high-density residential; or
2. Properties that are eonnected to single-family and nonresidential designations by
the Residential Transition designation or are adjacent to the Multifamily designation,
and meet the development parameters of the mixed- use designation."
However, the R-10, R-16, and R-20 Residential zoning districts already allow for mixed
uses (comprised of residential 8 other uses) as permitted uses (See Table 18.07.020,
Permitted Use Table).

Also, at Section ACC 18.04.625, the Code provides the following definition of"mixed use
developmentn:
18.04.625 Mixed-use development.
Mixed-use development" means a single unified development that incorporates the
planned integration of finro or more different land uses consisting of some
combination of office, light industcial, hotel, retail, entertainment, public uses, along
with residential uses. Mixed-use development may pe vertically oriented in one or
more buildings, or horizontally distributed on a development site. When horizontally
distributed, #he different uses may be constructed concurrently and in separate
phases, and should incorporate common and/or complementaryfeatures and/or
elements such as pedestrian walkways, access driVeways, park.ing areas,
architectural themes, or other techniques that provide integration between uses on
the site."
The Comprehensive plan language goes on to provide that this designation would be
implemented by the"Mixed Use Residential'' zoning district. This zoning classification
does not currently exist and there are no properties that have this zoning classification or
a "Mixed Use" land use map designation; therefore elimination of the "Mixed Use" land
use designation from the text of#he Plan and from the Land Use Map does not
negatively affect any properties: It also does not reduce development potential since
mixed use is already allowed by the zoning code. Mixed use is currently allowed in the
same areas that are described as appropriate for the designation.

development is allowed, but does not require a unique comprehensive plan designation
to achieve. See exhibit: "Excerpt of Volume 1 — Land Use Element", Page 4.

Planning Commission to recommend approval of a text amendment to remove the
discussion of a "Mixed Use" land use designation from the text of the Plan to the Cify
Council, as presented by staff.
PLT_#7
Add#ext to add back the R-5, Resid.ential zoning district back in as an implementing zone fo
the"Single Family Residential`' Land Use Designation. A significant portion of the city is
zoned R-5, Residential. In the 2015 Comp Plan this zone was inadvertently omitted as an
implernenting zoning district of any Comprehensive Plan land use designation and must be
corrected.
Discussion.
The Land Use Element(Volume No. 1) of the Comprehensive Plan at Page LU-4
provides for a mapped land use designation of"Single Family Residential". This
designation is found under the heading of``Residential Land Use Designations" (Page
LU-2). The stated 'description' and 'designation criteria' of this land use designation
provides:
Description
This designafion is the predominant land use category in the City. Maintaining and
creating a diverse arrangement of interconnected subdivisions, neighborhoods, and
communities that have a mix of densities and housing types; linkages with other
residential areas and commercial hubs through non-motorized modes, such as
pedestrian and bicycling, and vehicular modes will be encouraged."
Designation Criteria
1. Previously developed single-family residential areas;
2. Undeveloped areas that do not meet the designation criteria for other Residential,
Commercial, Industrial, or Public/Quasi- Public designations; or
3. Residential Conservancy areas thaf contain limited critical areas, are served by
public utilities (water, sewer, storm services), and meet the development parameters
of the single-family designation."
Implementing Zoning Designations
Residential 1 (1 dwelling unit per acre): All properties located within the Urban
Separator Overlay is zoned R-1, as consistent with King County county-wide
planning policies.
Residential 7 (7 dwelling units per acre): AII properties not located within the Urban
Separator Overlay is zoned R-7."
The R-5 Residential (Five dwelling units per acre)zoning classification is not currently
identified as an implementing zoning district for any comprehensive plan land use
designation and needs to be. A significant portion of the city is zoned R-5, Residential.
In the 2015 Comp Plan this zone was inadvertently omitted as an implementing zoning
disfrict of any Comprehensive Plan land use designation and must be corrected by

classification as an implementing zoning district for the "Single Family Residential" land
use designation. Some other minor wording corrections proposed by staff are also
shown. See exhibit`'Excerpt of Volume 1 —Land Use Elemenf", Page 1.
Recommendation
Planning Commission to recommend approval of a text amendment to add a listing of R-5
Residential zoning district as an implementing zone of the"Single Family Residential" land
use designation.
P/T#8
Change the title of the land use designation of"Residential Transition"tq "Moderate Density
Residential". It is requested to revert to pre-2015 title of#he category. Provide more logical
title for the category to address and reflect the range of residential densities. The
implemenfing zones"R-10, Residential" and "R-16, Residential" are proposed to be added.
Discussion
The Land Use Element (Volume No. 1) of the Comprehensive Plan at Page LU-5
provides for a land use designation of`'Residential Transition''. This was formerly the
Moderate Density Residential" designation prior to adoption of the updated
Comprehensive Plan in 2015. It is requested to revert to the pre-2015 title of the
category since the 'description' and 'designation criteria' remain similar. The stated
description' and 'designation criteria' of this land use designation in the 2015 Plan
provides:
Description
Residenfial transition areas are planned to accommodate moderate densities of
varying residential dwelling types. Varying intensities within a transition area may be
permitted based on adjacent density, intensity, andlor charaeter. Appropriate
densities in these areas range from 7 to 20 dwelling units per acre. Dwelling types
generally range from single-famil,y dwelling to multiple-family dwellings, with larger
structures allowed (within the density range)where offsetting community beneffs can
be identified."
Designation Criteria
1. Previously developed moderate density residential areas; or
2. Areas that provide a transition between single-family and multifamily, single-family
and nonresitlential, multifamily and nonresidential zones or development are
adjacent and meet the development pa ameters of the Residential Transition
designation."
The reversion back to the former name provides a more logical title for the category to
address and reflect the range of residential densities. The name change also avoids
confusion that would likely occqr to potential users by the similarly sounding "Residential
Transition Overlay`'that was also part of the changes made in the 2015 Comprehensive
Plan. Also the description does not provide for any different uses to serve as a
transition', only intermediate residential densities.

CPM#2
Change the mapped land use designation of a 0.98-acre city-owned park parcel from
Multiple Family Residential"to "Institutional". Parcel No. 0921059073 is located south of
SE 310th ST, 820 feet west of 124th Ave SE.
Discussion
The 0.98-acre property was part of a larger 2.23-acre property ownership by Schneider
Homes Inc. that was proposed for development as the Pasafino Apartments while in
unincorporated King County prior to annexation to the City of Auburn. In 1996 a 'Petition
for Annexation Agreement and Declaration of CovenanY was executed between the City
and Schneider Homes Inc, in order for the City to provide water and sewer senrices
outside the city limits, bat within the city's established utility service area, to the
proposed apartment development. An `Amended Petition for Annexation Agreement and
Declaration of Covenant' was executed between the City and Schneider Homes Inc. on
April 21, 1997. The Agreements provided that as a condition of the City providing utility
services, Schneider Homes Inc. would develop a park to city standards and after
annexation, convey the developed park land to the City of Auburn without obligation or
cost. At the time of transfer, the city parks department would assume maintenance
responsibility. The property was annexed to the City of Auburn effective in 2008 by
Ordinance No. 6121, however, the transfer of ownership of the park land did not take
place for many more years since the park land was not a separate parcel that could be
deeded separately to the City. A Boundary Line Adjusfinent(BLA) application (File No.
BLA14-0005)was filed by Schneider Homes Inc. in May of 2014 to esta6lish the park
land as a separate parcel. The processing of the BLA was delayed due to changes'in
property ownership interest on the part of Sehneider Homes Inc. for refinancing
purposes. The BLA was subsequently approved by the City and recorded on November
2, 2016 (Recording No. 20161102900004) and the property subsequently conveyed to
the City..
It was previously appropriate to have the Comprehensive Plan land use designation of
Multiple "Family Residential" applicable to the site when it was privately-owned and part
of a larger property that is mainly developed with apartments. However, now that Parcel
No. 0921059073 is a separate pareel that is owned by the City and developed for park
purposes, it is appropriate for it to have an "Instifutional'' land use designation by the
Comprehensive Plan consistent with other park properties.
Recommendation
Planning Commission to recommend approval of a map amendment to change the mapped
land use designation of 0.98-acre city-owned park parcel (Parcel No. 0921059073) from
Multiple Famity Residential"to"Institutional" (Map No 1. 1).

The sites have a "Downtown Urban Center" land use designation by the Comprehensive
Plan and are zoned DUC, Downtown Urban Center. The contiguous sites are located at
the northern edge of the "Downtown Urban Center" land use designation and bo dered
to the north and the east by properties with an industrial designation. The sites align in a
row north to south and are bordered by public streets of C ST NW to the west; 3rd ST
NW to the north and by the Burlington Northern railroad to the east. The automobile
body shop of A-1 Collision borders the sites to the south.
The two largest parcels, Parcel No. 5401600175 (0.7 acres) and Parcel No. 5401600235
0.34 acres) have been developed for more than 25 years with structures and facilities
that are more appropriate characterized as "industrial uses"than suburban downtown
development. The configuration and loeation of the properties sandwiched between
transportafion corridors makes them less suitable for redevelopment as downtown

provides a recommendation to the City Council for final action which generally occurs, but is
not required to, prior to the end of the year.
6. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.106, the proposed comprehensive plan amendments outlined in
this agenda bill were sent to the Washington State Department of Commerce (Commerce)
and other sCate agencies for the required state reView. The Washington State Department
of Commerce acknowledged receipt on September 25, 2017 by letter and Material ID
24153. No comments have been received from the Washington State Department of
Commerce or other state agencies as of the writing of this report. A copy of the fransmittal
by the City and written acknowledgement of receipt by Commerce is provided in the working
binder.
7. Due to the nature of policy/text changes, and the minimal amount of private-initiated map
amendments, the optional process for conducting a public open house as provided for in the
city code, was not conducted.
8. The notice of pukzlic hearing was published on October 21, 2017 in the Seattle Times
Newspaper which is at least 10 days prior to the Planning Commission public hearing
scheduled for November 1, 2017. A copy of the request to publish is provided in the
working binder: Also, a notice was mailed by first class mail to all property owners of record.

designations made after adoption of the updated comprehensive plan in 2015. The changes
increase the consistency of the Comprehensive Plan and zoning as required by ACC
14.22.050, "Conformance and Consisteney'`. The maps related to these proposed
changes are also available to review in the `Comp. Plan Map Amendments' tab of the
Working Binder'.
10. The following report identifies Comprehensive Plan Map (CPM) amendments scheduled for
the Planning Commission's November 1, 2017 public hearing with a staff recommendation.
All of the Policy/Text(P/T) amendments were presented at the October meeting;so no
Poliey/Text(P/T) amendments are described in this report.

CPM # 4
Change the mapped land use designation of south part of 2.15-acre, privately-owned,
developed parcel from "Residential Transition"to "Heavy Commercial".
Discussion
The 2: 15-acre property was previously a smaller parcel and the comprehensive plan
designation boundary followed fhis original property boundary. In 2004, a bouncJary line
adjustment application was filed (File No. LLA04-0010), approved by the City, and
recorded (Recording No. 20040712003209). The boundary line adjustment expanded
the parcel boundary to inelude additional area to the south. The ComprehensiVe Plan
land use designation boundary was not simultaneously changed to correspond to the
property boundary change. In the interyening time, the fence contractor business has
using the expansion area as part ofi their yard. It is appropriate to make the change to
avoid split designation of a parcel where warranted by existing development pattern and
setting. The"Residential Transition" designation maKes up a smalle portion of the lot,
while the balance is used by a fencing contractor. As shown on the map below, the
designation change is consistent with adjacent property located to the west.
Staff Recommendation
Planning Commission to recommend approval of a map amendment CPM #4 to change
the mapped land use designation of the southe n part of a 2. 15-acre, privately-owned,
parcel from "Residential Transition"to "Heavy Commercial'' (Parcel No. 8695200020j.

This city-initiated request is to change the land use designation of 2 privately owned
parcels, Nos. 7815700095 (0.17 acres—vacant) and 7815700135 (0.33 acres— parking
lot) are owned by Levan Auburn Development LLC and the City-owned Parcel No.

Plan and its associated map changes, the properties were assigned an "Open Space"
land use designation. The change is requested to remedy an inadvertent change of
mapped land use designation with adoption of map as part of 2015 plan. It is requested
to revert to former designation of"Downtown Urban Center". These 3 mostly
undeveloped parcels are currently zoned "DUC, Downtown Urban Center". Due to their
location in the heart of the city center and economic development potential, these
parcels should have the designation "Downtown Urban Center".

scattered at various sites. With adoption of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan and its
associated map changes, the properties were assigned an "Open Space" land use
designation. These properties are city-owned developed parks and contain play areas
and active recreational space. And the "Open Space" land use designation is not
appropriate to apply to these properties based on the discussion and clarification that
occurred with the Planning Commission during discussion of the "OS, Open Space
zoning district in July and August of this year. The land use designation is inconsistent
with the designation criteria and purpose of the "Open Space" land designation of the
Comprehensive Plan (e.g. cemeteries and active and mainly developed parks should not
be designated "Open Space"). Also, for most parcels the zoning map classification also
needs to change from "OS, Open Space" to "I, Institutional" to agree.
Staff Recommendation
Planning Commission to recommend approval of a map amendment CPM #6 to change
the mapped land use designation of multiple City-owned, parks properties from "Open
Space" to "Institutional" land use designation and to change the zoning designation (File
No. REZ17-0002), to correspond to the "I, Institutional" implementing zoning
classification, except for Parcel Nos. 1821059327, 1821059117, & 8581400530 which
are already zoned: "I, Institutional".

change of mapped land use designation with adoption of map as part of 2015 plan
adoption. It is requested to revert to pre-2015 designation of"Light Commercial". Also,
change the zoning designation from "R5, Residential" to "C1, Light Commercial" to
agree.
Both properties were annexed to the City of Auburn from the City of Pacific in the year
2003 by City of Auburn Ordinance No. 3643. Prior to the annexation, the northern parcel
owned by Mr. Clayton) was zoned "C, Commercial" and the southern parcel (now
owned by John Nixon) was zoned "RMH, Multiple Family Residential" in the City of
Pacific. Mr. Clayton's zoning designation of"C, Commercial" was a result of an
application for zone change requested by Mr. Clayton and approved by the City of
Pacific in August of 1992 by Ordinance No. 1177 (The rezone was to the zoning
classification of"BC, Business Commercial" which subsequently became "C,
Commercial".) At annexation to the City of Auburn, the property assumed an "R-5,
Residential" zoning designation by default, while the comprehensive plan designation
was made "Light Commercial".
Of late, Mr. Clayton has been contacting the City almost annually requesting that the city
initiate a change in the zoning designation back to a commercial category. He has
always had the ability to submit a private application to initiate the zoning map change
himself, and has been advised of this, but was reluctant.
The `working binder' under the `Map Amendments' tab and CPM #8, contains a letter
from Mr. Clayton dated July 18, 2017 and supporting information in which he describes
the history and his request to have the zoning changed.
The southern parcel prior to 2015 had a comprehensive plan designation of"Light
Commercial" and was previously was zoned "R-5, Residential". These 2 parcels are the
only parcels on the east side of A ST SE, in the vicinity that have a Comprehensive Plan
designation of"Single Family Residential". The adjacent properties to the south were
changed to "light Industrial" due to private com plan application last year. The properties
to the north have a comprehensive plan designation of"Institutional".
While the comprehensive plan designation was changed in 2015 to "Single Family
Residential", to align with the property's R-5 Residential zoning, it is the zoning
classification that should have been changed. The City now seeks to rectify the
circumstances by changing the both the comprehensive plan designation and zoning for
both parcels

Change the mapped land use designation of 0.21-acre city-owned stormwater facility
on the south side of 35th St SE, from "Institutional" to "Multiple Family Residential".
Discussion
This city-initiated request is to change the land use designation of a 0.21-acre city-
owned stormwater facility serving a plat from "Institutional" to "Multiple Family
Residential" to agree with designation applicable to the balance of the plat. Parcel No.
1877100170 is owned by the City and located on south side of 35th St SE, 290 feet west
of D ST SE. The lot for the stormwater facility was created from the "D ST SE Plat" and
should retain the same comprehensive plan designation as the balance of the plat. It is
not the intention of the Comprehensive Plan designation to apply a separate
classification to each special purpose lot or tract needed to support the overall
subdivision. Land use designations should apply to broad geographic areas based on
compatibility and generally not on an individual parcel basis. The change would remedy
an inadvertent change of mapped land use designation as part of 2015 plan adoption
and revert to the former designation.

City Council to introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 6668 to revise school impact fees for 2018.
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

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 determin e if an adjustment to the
amount of the impact fees is necessary.

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 school 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 No. 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 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 “T otal 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.

Council Review and Decision
The establishment 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 i nformation 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 (Contained in draft Ordinance No. 6668)
Auburn School District:
The Auburn School District indicated by letter submitted with their Capital Facilities Plan, that they are
requesting an increase in school impact fees for the year 2018. The year 2018 for single-family
dwellings is proposed to be $3,321.86, a decrease of $2,147.51 and the requested fee for multiple -
family dwellings is $2,081.29, an increase of $441.59. The actual impact fees are established by
ordinance through subsequent City Council action.
Dieringer School District:
The Dieringer School District indicated by letter submitted with their Capital Facilities Plan that they are
requesting an increase in school impact fees for year 2018. The year 2018 fees for single-family
dwellings as identified in the CFP is proposed to be $3,760.00, an increase of $360.00 and the
requested fee for multiple family dwellings is $1,081.00; a decrease of $678.00. The actual impact fees
are established by ordinance through subsequent City Council action.
While, a proposed fee calculation of $3,760.00 for single family residential and $1,081.00 for multiple
family residential is identified based on their Capital Facilities Plan, related to this, the Pierce County
Council by Ordinance No. 2017-78 adopted November 7, 2017; effective January 1, 2018, establishing
a school impact fee for the Dieringer School District of $3,485.00 for single family residential and
$1,081.00 for multiple family residential (See Exhibit). 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.
It appears appropriate to establish a fee applicable in the City of Auburn for the Dieringer School district
that is the same as the fee implemented in 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 No. 6668 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 indicated by letter submitted with their Capital Facilities Plan that they
are requesting an increase in school impact fees for year 2018. The year 2018 fees for single-family
dwellings is proposed to be $6,842.00, representing an increase of $3,644.00 and the requested fee for
multi-family dwellings is $20,086.00, an increase of $11,700.00. The actual impact fees are established
by ordinance through subsequent City Council action.
According to communication from Tanya Nascimento, Student & Demographic Forecaster of the
Federal Way Public Schools, there are several factors which have driven the multiple family impact
fees to increase quite significantly in this plan. One factor is an increase in observed multiple-family
student generation rates. When calculating the impact fees for their capital facilities plan, the
District can only use actual student generation rates, either based on district or the King County
average. Prior to 2016, there had been no multi-family developments in our District, so we were
using the King County average. In 2015, the first of three multi-family developments was opened
and fully occupied in the City of Federal Way. The second was opened and occupied in late 2016
and the third was opened in fully occupied in summer of 2017. The first two developments have
been included in the generation rate calculation for this plan. The specific generation rates can be
found on Page 29. These multiple-family complexes are generating more than one student per unit
which is significantly higher than past developments within the School District.
In addition to the high student generation rates, the District completed work with its Facilities
Planning Committee which determined a need for additional capacity at a number of schools. As a
result of this work, Phase II of the District’s plan will be placed on the November ballot for a bond
request. The facilities impacted during Phase II can be found on Page 7 of the Capital Facilities
Plan. Anticipated funding for this project can be found on the Six-Year Finance Plan on Page 9.
The Finance Plan outlines the anticipated timeline for beginning and completion of the various
projects. It is important to note that not all projects within Phase II will create additional capacity.
Only costs associated with increasing needed capacity are used in the formula for calculating
Impact Fees. The specific cost calculations are outlined on Page 32 of the Capital Facilities Plan.
Kent School District
The Kent School District indicated by letter submitted with their Capital Facilities Plan that they are
requesting an increase in school impact fees for year 2018. The year 2018 fees for single-family
dwellings is proposed to be $2,267.00, representing an increase of $57.00 and the requested fee for
multi-family dwellings is $5,235.00, an increase of $135.00. The actual impact fees are established by
ordinance through subsequent City Council action.
Scheduling of Actions
A review and discussion of the School District Capital Facilities Plans school impact fee changes and
Ordinance No. 6668 was held by City Council at the Study Session November 27, 2017. City Council
consideration is planned for December 4, 2017.

This Deed Restriction - Restrictive Covenant for the purposes of Floodplain
Protection and/or Restoration (referred to hereinafter as “DEED
RESTRICTION”) is made and entered into this _____ day of _____________,
2017, by the CITY OF AUBURN, a Washington Municipal Corporation
organized under Title 35A RCW, hereinafter referred to as the “CITY”.
WHEREAS, the CITY is owner in fee simple of certain real property
purchased in August 2014 located in the City of Auburn, King County,
Washington, legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference, which properties are intended to be subject to this DEED
RESTRICTION and burdened in perpetuity with this DEED RESTRICTION
(“SUBJECT PROPERTY”); and
WHEREAS, the CITY or the representative of the CITY executing this DEED
RESTRICTION has the authority to burden the SUBJECT PROPERTY to certain
use restrictions enforceable by the Washington State Department of Ecology
Exhibit “I”
Page 222 of 238
Deed Restriction – Restrictive Covenant
Page 2 of 6
(Ecology). The purpose of this DEED RESTRICTION is to ensure that the
SUBJECT PRPOERTY will be used to enable floodplain protection and/or
restoration and to prevent this land from future development. These restrictions
are a condition of the grant funding (Grant No. G1400661, Mill Creek Restoration
Project) appropriated by the State of Washington Department of Ecology through
the 2013 Washington State legislature under §3069 of the Capital Budget; and
WHEREAS, in order to satisfy a grant funding requirement of the July 2014
Ecology Grant Agreement No. G1400661 between the State of Washington
Department of Ecology and the City of Auburn, the CITY agrees to record this
DEED RESTRICTION to enable floodplain protection and/or restoration and to
prevent the SUBJECT PROPERTY from future development for the benefit of
public health, safety, and welfare; and
WHEREAS, the CITY understands that preservation of floodplain protection
and/or restoration is an essential public health, safety and welfare measure and
that this is best accomplished through the prevention of any future development of
the affected parcels of land and that floodplain management as stated herein is in
conformity with the CITY’S Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the CITY has acknowledged the important environmental value
of this DEED RESTRICTION and agrees not to undertake any activity which will
in any way be inconsistent with floodplain protection and/or restoration on the
SUBJECT PROPERTY.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of funding provided by the
Washington State Department of Ecology to assist the CITY in purchasing the
SUBJECT PROEPRTY, the CITY hereby causes to be recorded against the
SUBJECT PROPERTY in perpetuity, a DEED RESTRICTION and restrictive
covenants to enable floodplain protection and/or restoration and to prevent the
SUBJECT PROPERTY from future development for the benefit of the public, as
follows:
1. Authority to Burden Subject Property. The CITY is the owner in fee
simple of the SUBJECT PROPERTY referred to above and has full power and
authority to burden the SUBJECT PROPERTY in perpetuity for the benefit of
the public.
2. No Merger. The rights that are set forth herein are usually secured by
means of an easement, but in this instance there is no separate legal entity to
which the City can grant such an easement. Since an easement granted by an
Page 223 of 238
Deed Restriction – Restrictive Covenant
Page 3 of 6
entity to itself would merge into the fee ownership, it would have no legal
effect. The City intends by recording of this DEED RESTRICTION to
provide actual and constructive notice to the successors, assigns, purchasers,
transferees, and lessees of the SUBJECT PROPERTY of the restrictions
imposed by this DEED RESTRICTION.
3. Deed Restriction in Perpetuity. The CITY intends that the restrictions
contained in this DEED RESTRICTION not merge into the fee title and
thereby be removed or eliminated. The CITY hereby dedicates in perpetuity
and covenants that this DEED RESTRICTION shall run with the land
included in the SUBJECT PROPERTY legally described in Exhibit A
attached hereto. This DEED RESTRICTION shall burden the SUBJECT
PROPERTY and benefit the CITY and the public.
4. Heirs, Successors, and Assigns. This DEED RESTRICTION shall be
binding on the City’s heirs, successors, and assigns.
5. Scope of Deed Restriction. This DEED RESTRICTION shall allow the
CITY to enter upon the SUBJECT PROPERTY for the purposes of
constructing, monitoring, maintaining, preserving, and enhancing the
SUBJECT PROPERTY legally described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto. The
CITY covenants not to in any way impair or interfere with the function and
use of the SUBJECT PROPERTY, and the CITY further covenants to take
reasonable and necessary steps to restrict access to the SUBJECT
PROPERTY and prohibit construction of any structures or artificial surfaces
or alteration of any floodplain area within the SUBJECT PROPERTY. No
activity of any kind may take place within the SUBJECT PROPERTY without
the prior approval by the CITY’s Director of Community Development and
Public Works or other CITY official authorized by the Mayor of the CITY
and prior written notification to the State of Washington Department of
Ecology, except the CITY shall be permitted to enter onto the SUBJECT
PROPERTY at all reasonable times for monitoring and maintenance purposes.
6. Use Restrictions for Subject Property. Uses of the SUBJECT
PROPERTY shall be restricted to:
a. Restoring the land to natural habitat conditions by removing human
structures, materials, waste, etc.;

d. Providing vegetation management of exotic species (e.g., reed canary

f. Allowing for pervious site access;
g. Enhancement of the river, stream, floodplain, and/or riparian area for fish

The restrictions and obligations described above are intended to run with the
land and are intended to be binding on any and all persons who acquire an
interest in the SUBJECT PROPERTY. In the event the SUBJECT
PROPERTY is no longer included as part of the current undeveloped and/or
restored floodplain system, CITY fails to manage the property as outlined
above, or ownership interest changes, Ecology may, at its sole discretion,
direct CITY to either: 1) to sell the property and pay Ecology one hundred
(100) percent based on a $511,979.04 purchase price and Ecology’s
contribution of $511,979.04) of the net sales proceeds (sale price minus actual
and reasonable selling expenses, if any); OR 2) to pay Ecology either one
hundred (100) percent of the current appraised value of the property or
$511,979.04, whichever is higher.
7. Reserved Rights. The CITY reserves to itself all rights, title, interest, and
obligations incident to ownership of the SUBJECT PROPERTY.
8. Enforcement. In the event that the CITY is no longer the owner of the
SUBJECT PROPERTY and a violation of the terms of this DEDICATION is
noted to the CITY in writing, the CITY shall notify the then-current owner
that the owner has thirty (30) days from receipt of said notice to cure the
violation. If the owner does not cure the violation, the CITY may initiate an
enforcement action as provided for by law. The CITY, at its option, may take
action to preserve and protect the SUBJECT PROPERTY and its floodplain
protection or floodplain restoration function, after first giving written notice,
and, in such case, the reasonable expenses incurred by the CITY shall be
recoverable from the party that is found to be in violation of this
DEDICATION.

Explanatory notes:
1. The VRFA establishes its review and inspection fees on a percentage of the permit fee assessed by the authority
having jurisdiction. Using a percentage of the jurisdictional fee as the basis of VRFA fees eliminates the need to
adjust the VRFA fee schedule every time a jurisdictional fee changes.
2.The fee only applies to single family occupancies that require fire protection systems.
3. Hourly rate is based on the direct costs of VRFA staff time, salary, benefits, overhead, administrative costs, and
resources.
4. Includes plan review and first two inspections.
5. Preventable nuisance and malfunction false alarms exist to reduce unwarranted calls that remove emergency
apparatus from service. Though there is no penalty for 1st and 2nd violations, it provides the opportunity for the
VRFA to educate owners about any mechanical problems within a system that may not be the fault of occupancy
tenants. It further grants the opportunity for repair technicians to correct any deficiencies that may exist.
Subsequent false alarms incur a penalty in an attempt to encourage needed repairs of the associated systems.
6. The VRFA Fire Marshal is authorized to reduce or waive any fees for permits. In compelling cases where the
applicant -the party responsible for payment of such fees -is an organization exempt from taxation under 26 USC
501(c)(3), and where the permit relates directly to the provision of charitable services to residences of the VRFA
service area, the VRFA Fire Marshal is vested with discretion to reduce any fees for permits, publications, and actions
by up to 50%.
7. Permits that are not completed and no project improvements are made can, in writing, ask for the inspection fees
to be refunded.
