Camie Anderson, of Shockey Planning Group, Inc., Applicant, on behalf of Jeff Grose, of the Auburn School District No. 408, submitted a Rezone application and associated SEPA Rezone — Auburn School District No. 408— Rezone south of Pioneer Elementary (REZ18-0005) Staff Report Page 4 of 54 October 4, 2018 Page 3 of 7 application on July 27, 2018 to rezone a 73,358 sq. ft. lot from R-7 Residential, which allows between 5 and 7 dwelling units per acre, to P-1, Public Use District ("Rezone"). 2. The subject property is located at 2407 M St SE, Auburn, WA and is located at the corner of M St SE and 25th St SE. The site is within the City of Auburn's corporate limits, and referenced by King County Assessor Parcel No. 1921059037 ("Subject Property"). 3. The subject property is rectangular in shape, approximately 294 ft. in width (east to west) and 300.6 ft. in length (north to south) with no slope or other environmental issues. 4. The subject property, located directly south of Pioneer Elementary school and east of Cedar Lanes (a City of Auburn owned park), is within neighborhood that is predominantly single- family residential. 5. As indicated by the Applicant in the narrative submitted with the application, the site is currently occupied by a religious institution (a church). Per King County Department of Assessment's website, the church was constructed in 1974. The church is to be demolished at a future date to allow for the redevelopment of the site as part of replacement of the adjacent Pioneer Elementary School. 6. The subject property was previously zoned R2, Single Family Residential District. Under Ordinance No. 6245 (adopted 2009) the property was rezoned, as part of an city—wide change to R-7, Residential, 7 dwelling units per acre. 7. Per Chapter 18.07 of the Auburn City Code ("ACC"), public schools (K-12) and related facilities are not a permitted use in the R-7, Residential zoning district. 8. Per Chapter 18.68 ACC, public schools (K-12) and related facilities are permitted outright. 9. Per Chapter 18.68 ACC religious institutions (on lots less than and greaterthan one acre) are not permitted within the P-1 zoning district. The church, which will be removed at a later date, will become a "non -conforming use" subject to Chapter 18.54 ACC. 10. At the end of 2015, through passage of Ordinance No. 6584, the City of Auburn adopted a new Comprehensive Plan and a revised Comprehensive Plan Map. The re -designation of this parcel from "Single Family" to "Institutional" was included in the revision to the Comprehensive Plan Map. Adverse Impacts 11. There are no significant adverse impacts associated with the proposed change. The proposal was reviewed by the City's Building, Traffic, Utilities Division, and the Valley Regional Fire Authority and did not express any concerns regarding the rezoning of the subject property. No development or redevelopment of the site is proposed at this time. The existing development, the church, is currently served by Auburn sewer and water located in M St SE. Access to the existing development is currently provided by a driveway located on M St SE. As it is expected that the subject property will be integrated into the redevelopment of Pioneer Elementary School. A SEPA Checklist application and threshold determination must accompany the future permit application (civil or building) as the redevelopment of Pioneer Elementary School will exceed exempt levels for minor new construction provided in ACC 16.06.055 "Categorical Exemptions". Rezone —Auburn School District No. 408— Rezone south of Pioneer Elementary (REZ18-0005) Staff Report Page 5 of 54 October 4, 2018 Page 4 of 7 At the time of redevelopment project -specific impacts and improvements, including but not limited to: traffic impacts such as operations at intersections, access, and loading and queuing, zoning development standards such as lot coverage, setbacks, landscaping, and on-site lighting, building and fire requirements, utilities, and stormwater management, will be evaluated. 12. Per ACC 14.22.050, the City's zoning regulations ..."shall be consistent with and implement the intent of the comprehensive plan..." 13. Per ACC 18.02.030(A), the intent of Title 18 ACC, "Zoning", is to: "...to implement the City's Comprehensive Plan. This title will be used to further the growth and development of the City consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan and its implementing elements. This title will also further the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, convenience, comfort, prosperity, and general welfare of the city's population and to prevent and abate public nuisances." 14. The Applicant has requested a rezone to the P-1, Public Use zoning district to match the same zoning classification as exists for the adjacent school. While no longer specified as an implementing zone in the City's Comprehensive Plan, the P-1, Public Use District remains in effect on the City's official Zoning Map and in the City's Zoning Ordinance (Title 18). Since it is no longer identified as an implementing zone, the city anticipates undertaking a city-wide rezone to change all P-1 zoned properties to I, Intuitional in the near future. The P-1, Public Use District remains an appropriate implementing zone for the Institutional Land Use Designation, as identified on Page LU -14 of the Land Use Element. 15. Per ACC 18.35.020, the Institutional zone is intended to: "The 1 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." 16. Per ACC 18.35.020, the intent of the P-1 Public Use Zone is "...to provide for the appropriate location and development of public uses that serve the cultural, educational, recreational, and public service needs of the community." While not explicitly called out in the current Comprehensive Plan, the P-1 Public Use Zone is most consistent, in intent and zoning development standards, with the "Institutional" Comprehensive Plan designation. 17. A combined Notice of Application (NOA), Notice of Public Hearing (NOPH), and Determination of Non -Significance (DNS) was issued on September 6, 2018 (Exhibit 6) a minimum of 10 days prior to the public hearing as required by ACC 18.68.040(B)(1)(a). The notices were also posted at the Site, mailed to adjacent property owners within 300 ft. of the Site, and published in The Seattle Times newspaper, consistent with the noticing requirements of ACC 14.07.040. Rezone —Auburn School District No. 408— Rezone south of Pioneer Elementary (REZ18-0005) Staff Report Page 6 of 54 October 4, 2018 Page 5 of 7 18. While the combined NOA, NOPH, and DNS reference the request is to be rezoned to Institutional, the acknowledges that at a future date the site will be rezoned to Institutional through a City -initiated area -wide rezone. As the main site of Pioneer Element School is currently zoned P-1, the current request to rezone the property to P-1 will help ensure predictability and consistency in zoning, architectural, and design standards and permitting at the time of redevelopment. 19. Per ACC 18.68.030(6), site-specific rezone requests by an applicant other than the City, that are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, shall have a public hearing before the City Hearing Examiner who then makes a recommendation on the application to City Council. Staff finds that: a. The Applicant, Camie Anderson, on behalf of Jeff Grose, of the Auburn School District No. 408, initiated the requested rezone of a single property; b. The Rezone is consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan, as discussed in `Conclusions' section below; c. Site-specific rezones must be adopted by Ordinance by the City Council after a recommendation by the City Hearing Examiner. The City Council may affirm, modify, or disaffirm the Hearing Examiner's recommendation. IV. CONCLUSIONS: Chapter 18.68 ACC contains the intent and process for zoning code amendments, in this case a site-specific zoning map amendment has been requested and shall be processed as outlined in Item No. 15 under 'Findings of Fact', above. Auburn City Code does not contain any specific rezone criteria for City Staff to review; however, Case Law offers some rezone criteria: Ahmann-Yamane, LLC v. Tabler, 105 Wn. App. 103,111 (2001): proponents of a rezone must establish that conditions have substantially changed since the original showing and that the rezone must bear a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, morals or welfare; provided, that a showing of a change of circumstances has occurred is not required if a rezone implements the Comprehensive Plan. Past decisions by the City Hearing Examiner have also used this criteria. Staff therefore provides the following analysis on the Rezone (criteria being analyzed is ,underlined): 1. Criterion that the rezone is in response to changes in conditions since original adoption, or implements the Comprehensive Plan. The Rezone request implements the Comprehensive Plan, and therefore the proponent (the Applicant) does not need to show a change in conditions or circumstances. Staff provides the following analysis on how the Rezone request implements the Comprehensive Plan: ■ On December 14, 2015 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6584, Adopting a new Comprehensive Plan Map and changing the Land Use designation of the subject property from "Single -Family" to "Institutional", reference 'Findings of Fact' No. 9, above for background. ■ The Rezone request is to change from R-7, Residential to P-1, Public Use, therefore the change implements the intent of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation of Rezone — Auburn School District No. 408— Rezone south of Pioneer Elementary (REZ18-0005) Staff Report Page 7 of 54 October 4, 2018 Page 6 of 7 Institutional. Changing the parcel to P-1, Public Use District will help ensure developmental and permitting predictability and consistency until the city-wide rezone can be completed. 2. Criterion that the rezone request bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, morals and welfare. ■ As provided in 'Findings of Fact' No. 11, future development on the site will be required to provide adequate public and private facilities and utilities such as water, sewer, and electricity, and will therefore not be detrimental to the public health. ■ The Rezone itself will not allow any uses or acts that would pose any detrimental effects on the morals or welfare of the public. No development or redevelopment of the site is proposed at this time. Rezoning of the site will not result in the existing use of the site (a religious institution) into a nonconforming use. V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the application, accompanying materials, Findings of Fact, and Conclusions of this Staff Report, Staff recommends that the Hearing Examiner recommend approval of rezoning the property from R-7, Residential to P-1, Public Use District to the City Council.

The District owns a parcel south of the existing Pioneer Elementary School and it is zoned P1. The parcel currently contains a church that is leased to individuals by the District. However, as part of future replacement of the Pioneer Elementary School site, this parcel will be developed in association with that project. This request for a rezone to bring zoning into conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, so that when Pioneer Elementary School is replaced by the District in the future, there would be one zone on all parcels associated with the school campus. The District understands that ultimately the City would initiate area -wise rezones for all PI zoned properties to I, at which time, this parcel would be rezoned to Institutional. This application packet contains the required elements for ensuring that this parcel is rezoned to comport with the intended use. We have included a map illustrating this request (see Figure I — Rezone Map). It affects approximately 1.68 acres (one parcel) located south of the existing Pioneer Elementary School along 25th Street SE. The parcel is located within the City of Auburn city limits. The following information is provided in support of the District's request.

CF -10 Public facilities shall be provided in accord with the guidance of the Capital Facilities Plan or, as may be appropriate a system plan for each type of facility designed to serve at an adequate level of service the locations and intensities of uses specified in this comprehensive plan. There are adequate public facilities in the vicinity as this area of Auburn is quite urban in nature. The District has a planned replacement of Pioneer Elementary School proposed. Rezoning of this parcel would allow it to be used in that school replacement project resulting in a larger site for Pioneer Elementary School that more closely matches the District's standards for size and program. The proposal is also consistent with the District's Capital Facilities Plan which is adopted by the City of Auburn. PUBLIC BUILDINGS CF -63 Public and quasi public facilities which attract a large number of visitors (City Hall, museums, libraries, educational, permit or license offices, and health or similar facilities, etc) should be sited in areas which are accessible (within 1/4 mile) by transit. King County Metro provides transit service along 17th Street SE, just north of the parcel. In addition, associated with the modernization of Pioneer Elementary School, the District will provide bus service for students that would be located within the service area. LAND USE GOALS AND POLICIES Public and Institutional Land Use Designations LU -89 The primary purpose of this designation is to address public needs while taking advantage of synergies with the adjacent areas where they are sited. Institutional Policy LU -102 Appropriate uses for this designation include facilities that serve the needs of the larger community such as public schools, active parks, city operated municipal facilities, large churches and fire stations. The District's purpose is to provide educational services to students living within its District.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NON -PROJECT ACTIONS (Do not use this sheet for project actions) Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment. When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms. 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? The parcel is currently developed. The proposal would not have a significant impact on the discharges to water; emissions to water; emissions to air production, storage or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise. Redevelopment and/or a change of use under the proposed rezone would meet current standards for storm water management, emissions and noise. There would likely be some emissions and production of noise during construction of the site if each was to be altered; this would be addressed during project - specific design and environmental review. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: No specific measures are proposed. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? Any new development on the site under either the existing or proposed zoning would be required to meet current regulations/standards for protection of vegetation and animal habitat. Environmental Checklist — Property South of Pioneer Elementary School Rezone Request Appendix Pag4W)64EY Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: No specific measures are proposed. 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? The proposals would not deplete energy or natural resources. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: Not applicable. 4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered specifies habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands? There is no current development proposal for the site. There are no environmentally sensitive areas on the site. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: As stated above, mitigation measures would be provided with the project -specific development request should they be found to be on-site. 5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? No direct impacts to adjacent land uses are anticipated with the proposed rezone. Any impacts would be addressed during project -specific design and environmental review. The property does not lie within a shoreline; therefore there would be no impacts to shoreline uses. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: None proposed. Impacts in these areas would be addressed with any specific future development proposals. 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? Environmental Checklist — Property South of Pioneer Elementary School Rezone Request Appendix Pag50064EY The proposed rezone would have no direct impact in these areas. Impacts under the existing or proposed zoning would be addressed during project -specific design and environmental review. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: None proposed. Demand in these areas would be addressed with any specific future development proposals. 7.
