Administrativ e Recommendation:
City Council review and approve Ordinance No. 6690
Background Summary:
The City of Auburn provides water, sewer, and stormwater services to its utility customers. In
2017, the City contracted with FCS Group to perform a Water, Sewer, and Stormwater Rate
Study to review the adequacy of existing rates and to propose new rates as appropriate.
In April, FCS presented elements of the study that had been completed to date, including
revenue requirements and the cost of service analysis for each utility, as well as proposed
considerations for rate design.
In June 2018, FCS provided specific retail rate proposals for each utility covering the period
2019 through 2022 and discussed the proposed modifications to existing rate structures that
will enhance rate equity among customers and address other ratemaking criteria such as
revenue stability and efficiency of use. At that time, Council provided guidance as to its
preferred rate options, which have then been incorporated into proposed Ordinance #6690.
In addition, FCS recently completed an analysis of the City’s wholesale water rates. The
proposed ordinance includes the recommended wholesale water rates. Changes to these
rates were discussed at the September 24, 2018 study session. At that time, Council
requested additional information on numbers of single-family residential water customers; that
information is provided in the attached memorandum.

Administrativ e Recommendation:
City Council to adopt Ordinance No. 6691
Background Summary:
The purpose of this ordinance is to amend Ordinance No. 6677. Ordinance No. 6677
implemented the creation of an open space zoning district within the Auburn Zoning
Ordinance and the City Zoning Map to be consistent with the 2015 Comprehensive Plan.
Ordinance No. 6677 contained a map amendment exhibit that depicts the parcels to be zoned
open space. However, the exhibit was not specifically referenced in the Ordinance language.
Therefore, an amendment to Ordinance No. 6677 is required to formally adopt the open
space zoning map amendment and thereby amend the City Zoning Map.
History of Ordinance No. 6677:
The purpose of Ordinance No. 6677 was to establish an open space-zoning district to
implement the Open Space land use designation. Through Ordinance No. 6584 (adopted
December 14, 2015), the City of Auburn adopted a new Comprehensive Plan at the end of
2015 that included a new land use map designation of “Open Space”. Under the existing
Comprehensive Plan document structure, each Comprehensive Plan land use designation is
implemented by at least one zoning district (zone) that addresses the allowed uses and the
zoning development standards. Ordinance No. 6677 was reviewed by the City Council at the
February 12, 2018 study session and adopted on February 20, 2018, at the regular City
Council meeting.
Request:
City Council to adopt Ordinance No. 6691.

continue to appear in accord with the single-family residential character. The RO-H
designation is to be used exclusively for the hospital area, located in the vicinity of 2nd
Street NE and Auburn Avenue, and is intended to be used for medical and related uses
and those uses compatible with the medical community
C. P-1 Public Use Zone. The P-1 zone is intended to provide for the
appropriate location and development of public uses that serve the cultural, educational,
recreational, and public service needs of the community.
D. I Institutional Zone. The I zone is intended to provide an area wherein
educational, governmental, theological, recreational, cultural and other public and quasi-
public uses may be allowed to develop. It is further intended these areas be significant in
scope which will allow a combination of uses which may not be permitted outright within
other zones. This district is not intended to include those smaller or singular public
uses which are consistent with and permitted in other zones.

that tend to be managed in a largely undeveloped character, including passive parks,
