Currently, there is no implementing Open Space zoning district in the Auburn City Code; and WHEREAS, the purpose of this amendment to the City zoning code and zoning map is to create a zoning district that implements the Open Space Land Use Designation of the Comprehensive Plan Map; and WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 36.70A the proposed code language was transmitted to the Washington State Department of Commerce on April 20, 2017. The transmittal initiated the 60-day state agency review period. The 60-day state agency comment period expired on June 19, 2017. The City did not receive any state agency comments. WHEREAS, the code amendment was subject to environmental review process under the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). A Determination of Non- Ordinance No. 6677 January 26, 2018 Page 1 Significance (DNS) was issued June 13, 2017 and the City observed a fifteen-day public comment period; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the code and map amendment and duly deliberated the effect of the text and map amendment on public and private property owners at its December 6, 2016, January 4, 2017, March 7, 2017, and April 4, 2017 Planning Commission meetings; and WHEREAS, the City received three public comment letters in response to notice of the public hearing, and one additional notice prior to the Planning Commission public hearing; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed amendments at the July 5, 2017 Planning Commission meeting, and requested that staff conduct additional noticing efforts to Andrew and Elena Cherny and coordination with the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT); and WHEREAS, at the continued public hearing on August 8, 2017, after the close the public hearing the Planning Commission forwarded a recommendation for approval to the City Council; and WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 6667, pertaining to the 2017 annual Comprehensive Plan amendments, modified the land use designation of numerous parcels that were included in the proposed "open space zoning district map amendment. Thus, prompting their removal from the proposed open space zoning map amendment; and WHEREAS, per Auburn City Code Section 18.01.050, adopted under Ordinance No. 6667 (on December 18, 2017) the City of Auburn recognizes and acknowledges that Ordinance No. 6677 January 26, 2018 Page 2 the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe has jurisdiction and land use control over Indian Lands". The designation of city zoning and land use regulations that might appear to affect any Indian Lands does not, and is not intended to, usurp or exercise land use control over such lands. Any such city regulations are intended to identify what zoning or land-use provisions would apply to such lands were they not under Indian jurisdiction, or were the land to change in ownership or jurisdictional character. Until those circumstances change for such lands, the city regulations shall be for informational purposes only; and NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN as follows: Section 1. Amendment to City Code. That Section 18.02.070 of the Auburn City Code be and the same hereby is amended to read as follows: 18.02.070 Establishment of zones. A. The city is divided into the following classes of zones: 1. RC, residential conservancy zone (one dwelling unit per four acres); 2. R-1, residential zone (one dwelling unit per acre); 3. R-5, residential zone (five dwelling units per acre); 4. R-7, residential zone (seven dwelling units per acre); 5. R-10, residential zone (10 dwelling units per acre); 6.

C-3, heavy commercial zone; 14. M-1, light industrial zone; 15. M-2, heavy industrial zone; 16. BP, business park zone; 17. LF, airport landing field zone; 18. P-1, public use zone; 19. UNC, unclassified use zone; Ordinance No. 6677 January 26, 2018 Page 3 20. I, institutional use zone; 21. EP, environmental park zone; 22. DUC, downtown urban center zone; 23. OS, open space zone. B. The zones set out in Subsection A of this Section are established as the designations, locations, and boundaries thereof as set forth and indicated on the zoning map. C. The intent statement for each zone set forth in this title shall be used to guide the application of the zones to all lands in the City of Auburn. The intent statements shall guide interpretation and application of land use regulations within the zones, and any change to the range of allowed uses within each zone through amendment to this title. (Ord. 6245 § 2, 2009.) Section 2. Amendment to City Code. That Section 18.35.020 of the Auburn City Code is amended to read as follows: 18.35.020 Intent of special purpose zones. A. General. This section describes the intent for each of the city's special purpose zones. These intent statements may be used to guide the interpretation of the regulations associated with each zone. B. RO and RO-H Residential Office and Residential Office-Hospital Zone. The RO and RO-H is intended primarily to accommodate small-scale business and professional offices, medical and dental clinics, and banks and similar financial institutions at locations where they are compatible with residential uses. Some retail and personal services may be permitted if supplemental to the other uses allowed in the zone. This zone is intended for those areas that are in transition from residential to commercial uses along arterials or near the hospital. Conversion of residential uses to commercial uses is geared towards encouraging adaptive re-use of existing single-family structures that 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. E. OS Open Space Zone. The OS zone is intended to providefor land uses that tend to be managed in a largely undeveloped character, including passive parks, Ordinance No. 6677 January 26,2018 Page 4 watersheds, natural and urban conservancy shoreline areas, significant wildlife habitats, large stormwater detention ponds or floodplain ponds, utility corridors with public access, and areas with significant development restrictions. Park lands included in the Open Space zone tends to be predominately passive in character and with relatively fewer developed facilities than parks included in the Institutional zone. Private sites containing critical areas or shorelines may be included.. (Ord. 6434 § 1, 2012.) Section 3. Amendment to City Code. That Section 18.35.030 of the Auburn City Code be and the same hereby is amended to read as follows: 18.35.030 Uses.
