Background Summary:
The City of Auburn has determined that a 60 foot section of unopened right-of-way in the
vicinity SE 328th Street between 58th Avenue South and 60th Avenue South and a 30 foot
section of unopened right-of-way in the vicinity of 60th Avenue South north of SE 328th Street
could be vacated to further the City’s master plan for Mountain View Cemetery.
The right-of-way was dedicated to the public for street purposes with the West Auburn Five
Acre Tracts on March 28th, 1907. City staff and utility providers who have an interest in this
right-of-way have reviewed the proposed right-of-way vacation. Through this review, City staff
has determined that the right-of-way as it is currently configured does not meet the needs of
the City and could be vacated. This review has also determined that while the current
configuration does not meet the needs of the City and an east/west alignment between 58th
Avenue South and 60th Avenue South may still be needed to meet future connection and
transportation needs in the area, that alignment could be moved to the north edge of Mountain
View Cemetery’s northern most parcel, No. 9262800285. This would require dedication of
right-of-way under a separate action and Resolution and is a condition of the vacation.
A Public Hearing to is scheduled before City Council on June 17, 2019. Ordinance No. 6687
if Adopted by City Council, approves Vacation No. V1-18 and vacates the right-of-way subject
to the conditions outlined in the Ordinance.

between 58th Ave South and 60th Avenue South and a portion of the 30 foot Right-
of-Way of 60th Avenue South north of SE 328th Street.
Description of right-of-way:
This ROW proposed for vacation consists of a the 60 foot Right-of-Way of SE 328th Street between 58th Avenue
South and 60th Avenue South and a portion of the 30 foot Right-of-Way of 60th Avenue South north of SE 328th

which are owned by the City of Auburn as part of Mountain View Cemetery. The 60th Avenue South portion of

Proposal:
The City proposes to vacate the above described rights-of-way and dedicate a separate 60 foot alignment from
the north side of Cemetery Parcel No. 9262800285 under a separate action and Resolution. This plan is in
keeping with the City’s 2004 master plan for Mountain View Cemetery. This proposal will eliminate the separation
between cemetery parcels and keep an east/west alignment for connection between 58th Avenue South and 60th
Avenue South for any proposed future need in the area.

• The street vacation furthers the City’s master plan for Mt. View Cemetery.
• The street vacation decreases the right-of-way maintenance obligation of the City.
• The vacation allows the City to clean-up the parcel lines for the Mt. View Cemetery.
Discussion:
The vacation application was circulated to Puget Sound Energy (PSE), Comcast, CenturyLink, Lakehaven Water
and Sewer District and City staff.
1. Puget Sound Energy (PSE) – PSE received the City’s request for comments regarding the proposed
street right-of-way vacation. There does not appear to be existing PSE electric or gas facilities located
within the proposed right-of-way vacation area.
2. Comcast – Comcast has no objection to the proposed vacation.

Street that is proposed for vacation and will require and easement be reserved.

based on the submittal it appears no existing and/or future Lakehaven water system facilities will be
required, desired, or affected by the proposed land use action.
5. Parks – The Parks Department supports of the vacation as it furthers the City’s master plan for Mountain
View Cemetery.
6. Water – No comments.
7. Sewer – No comments.
8. Storm –No comments.
9. Transportation – Transportation supports the vacation with the condition that an equivalent east/west
alignment be dedicated from Mountain View Cemetery’s northern most parcel between 58th Avenue South
and 60th Avenue South to accommodate any future transportation needs in the area.
10. Planning – No comments.
11. Fire – No comments.
12. Police – No comments.

14. Construction –No comments.
15. Innovation and Technology – No comments.
16. Public Works Engineering – City Staff is aware of concerns related to the required dedication area
referenced in Condition 1 below from adjacent property owners.
Assessed Value:
ACC 12.48 states “The city council may require as a condition of the ordinance that the city be compensated for
the vacated right-of-way in an amount which does not exceed one-half the value of the right-of-way so vacated,
except in the event the subject property or portions thereof were acquired at public expense or have been part of
a dedicated public right-of-way for 25 years or more, compensation may be required in an amount equal to the full
value of the right-of-way being vacated. The city engineer shall estimate the value of the right-of-way to be
vacated based on the assessed values of comparable properties in the vicinity. If the value of the right-of-way is
determined by the city engineer to be greater than $2,000, the applicant will be required to provide the city with an
appraisal by an MAI appraiser approved by the city engineer, at the expense of the applicant. The city reserves
the right to have a second appraisal performed at the city’s expense.” Note: The city engineer has not required
an appraisal for the value of this right-of-way since the right-of-way vacation is being initiated by the City and if
approved, will attach to City owned parcels.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the street vacation be granted subject to the following conditions:
1. The City shall dedicate a separate 60 foot alignment from the north boundary of Cemetery Parcel No.
9262800285 under a separate action and Resolution.
2. A public utility easement shall be reserved for CenturyLink Communications facilities along the entire
length and width of the portion of vacated ROW of South 328th Street.

Re: Summary of Key 2019 Legislative Actions
Affordable Housing through the Housing Trust Fund:
$175 million is provided for affordable housing projects under the Housing Trust Fund. This
represents an approximate 20% increase over the prior budget allocation. The $175 million is
earmarked in the following manner:
• $35 million is for housing projects that provide supportive housing and case-
management services for persons with chronic mental illness;
• $10 million is for competitively awarded modular housing grants;
• $10 million is for competitively awarded grants for state matches on private contributions
that fund affordable housing;
• $10 million is for competitively awarded housing preservation grants;
• $7 million is for ultra-high energy efficient housing grants;
• $45 million is provided for 15 specific housing projects; and
• $57 million is for the following competitive housing projects:
o $5 million for housing for veterans;
o $5 million for housing that serves people with developmental disabilities;
o $5 million for housing that serves people employed as farmworkers;
o $5 million for projects that benefit homeownership; and
o The remaining amount for projects that benefit low-income populations in need of
housing.
Affordable and Supportive Housing Local Sales and Use Tax
• HB 1406: Allows a County or City to impose a sales and use tax for the purposes of
funding affordable and supportive housing initiatives. The rate of the allowed tax varies
from .0073 percent to .0146 percent. A county may not levy this tax on top of a city that
has levied the tax. In order to effectuate the tax, a City must adopt a resolution of intent
within 6 months of the date that HB 1406 takes effect, and must take final action to
Page 29 of 45
authorize the tax within one year that HB 1406 takes effect. The tax collected under this
law must then be deducted from the tax that is collected by the department of revenue.
Two bills relating to the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act
• SB 5600: An eviction reform bill that will allow tenants 14 days (instead of 3) to catch up
on late rent before losing their homes, allow eviction court judges to use discretion and
consider extenuating circumstances such as job loss or hospitalization, expand a
mitigation fund to ensure landlords receive judgement payments promptly while giving
tenants more time to pay, and limit the attorney fees tenants can be required to pay.
• HB 1440: Expanded notice of rent increases – Tenants will now have 60 days’ notice of
rent increases instead of 30.
Basic Needs Issues
• HB 1603/SB 5684: The House & Senate reached concurrence on a final version of the
bill that will eliminate permanent Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
disqualifications and adds a time-limit extension for families experiencing homelessness.
The prior law limited a family’s eligibility for public assistance when residing in
Washington State for fewer than 12 months to the level that was provided in the prior
state in which the family resided. The law also allows the State to grant a time limit
extension to the current sixty month limitation of assistance.
• HB 1303/SB 5341: This bill will remove some restrictions on access to the Working
Connections Child Care (WCCC) program, a program that provides subsidized child
care for low-income families in the state. It would remove the work requirements for full-
time students, meaning that full-time students who need child care would be able to
access it through WCCC.

DISCUSSION
Background Summary:
As part of the 2019-2020 biennial budgeting process, City Council approved a funding
allocation to conduct a Community Needs Assessment in 2019. During the April 8, 2019
Community Wellness Special Focus Area Study Session staff provided an overview of the
CDBG Consolidated Plan update process. This briefing highlighted the Needs Assessment
as an important part of that process. Since April 8th Cloudburst Consulting has been hired to
assist the City in conducting the Assessment. The Assessment effort is now in its early
stages. City staff would like to ensure that City Council has an opportunity to meet the
consultant, ask questions and/or provide input at the outset.
The overall Assessment will provide a picture of the existing state of human services within
the City and provide analysis on gaps in services. This information will support key Human
Services and CDBG efforts in the coming year:
This Needs Assessment will:
· Identify how City Human Services goals could be better aligned to meet community needs,
· Be a tool in the City’s human services funding process,
· Provide critical information for grant applications, and
· Support the strategic planning update to the City’s 2020-2024 Community Development
Block Grant Consolidated Plan.

The Needs Assessment will include updated and current data that will identify the
community’s strengths, needs, and challenges, design a strategy to meet those needs, and
develop a framework for accountability.
Over the next four months, Cloudburst Consulting Group will be leading data collection efforts
for the Community Needs Assessment that include analysis of federal, state, and local
datasets, focus groups, stakeholder interviews, and comparative analysis with neighboring
jurisdictions.
Joel Warren and Julie McFarland from Cloudburst will provide a presentation on their work
plan and next steps. They will be seeking input from City Council on community groups that
should be included in their upcoming work, data points that councilmembers feel are
particularly relevant to this effort, and gaps in services that may exist in the community.
