The City of Auburn Planning Commission is a seven member advisory body that provides
recommendations to the Auburn City Council on the preparation of and amendments to land
use plans and related codes such as zoning. Planning Commissioners are appointed by the
Mayor and confirmed by the City Council.
Actions taken by the Planning Commission, other than approvals or amendments to the
Planning Commission Rules of Procedure, are not final decisions; they are in the form of
recommendations to the city council which must ultimately make the final decision.

III. OTHER BUSINESS
A. Introductory Discussion of Docket of 2019 Annual Comprehensive Plan
Amendments
Each year the City amends the Comprehensive Plan or Comp Plan. These are the
“annual amendments” that the City considers each year as distinguished from the
periodic “major update” of the Comp Plan as required by the Growth Management
Act (GMA) that was adopted at the end of 2015.
The two types of amendments are map and text amendments.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES August 7, 2019
Page 2
There are also two sources for these annual amendments:
City-initiated amendments which are usually items that Staff, Planning
Commission or the City Council have identified as items or issued that should be
addressed in the next Comp Plan Amendment cycle.
Private-initiated amendments, which are in response to applications that are
submitted. For the 2019 Comp Plan Amendment cycle, two private map
amendments applications were submitted.
The Comp Plan amendments are proposed to consist of the following:
Comprehensive Plan Text Amendments
P/T #1 Auburn School District Capital Facilities Plan
P/T #2 Dieringer School District Capital Facilities Plan
P/T #3 Federal Way School District Capital Facilities Plan
P/T #4 Kent School District Capital Facilities Plan
P/T #5 City of Auburn (COA) Capital Facilities Plan
P/T #6 Transportation Element (Plan) Volume 5, (incorporated by reference). The
changes to the Transportation element consist of the following:
Incorporate new language required by state and federal law;
Update the current transit service information;
Incorporate recent private development;
Update to include capital projects completed since 2015;
Update TIP information/project list;
Update maps as needed to reflect current data and conditions;
Remove the policies / goals related to provision of equestrian facilities.
Additional minor changes will relate to grammar, punctuation, choice of words, etc.
P/T #7 Changing the title of the “M ST SE” boundary from M ST SE to M ST SE/NE
related to Map 1.3 “Designated Areas” of the Land Use Element, and change the
corresponding references in the text to agree. The text changes affect the listing of
economic development strategy areas and in Policy LU-133 to change M ST SE to M
ST SE/NE.
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments
Planning Services Manager Jeff Dixon displayed a map depicting the location of the
Comp Plan Map Amendments.
City Initiated Map Amendments:
CPM #1 - City-initiated request for Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map 1.3
“Designated Areas” of the Land Use Element 1, t to change the title of the M St SE
boundary needs from M ST SE to M ST SE/NE. This needs to be updated to reflect
that the boundary of the M ST SE designated area extends from M St SE to M St NE
(into the NE addressing suffix quadrant of the City). This is a minor change.

CPM #2 - City-initiated request for a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map No. 1.1 in
the Land Use Element 1, Volume 1, to change the designation of Parcel No.
2721059012. This parcel is divided by two public roadways and features a split land
use destination between “Institutional” and “Single Family”). The majority (eastern) of
the parcel is designated “Institutional”. Similarly, the parcel is also split zoned
between “I, Institutional” and “R-5, Residential 5 dwelling units per acre” with the
majority of the parcel zoned “I, Institutional”. As part of the annual amendment cycle,
it is proposed to change the land use designation and the zoning of the portion of the
parcel designated “Single Family Residential” (western and colored yellow) and
zoned R-5 to being designated “Institutional”(blue) and zoned “I, Institutional” (grey).
Private-Initiated Amendments:
CPM #3 - Request by Auburn School District to change the designation of four
parcels totaling approximately 10.55 acres and located north of SE 304th St and west
of 132nd Ave SE from "Single Family Residential" to "Institutional" and an associated
rezone from “R-5, Residential 5 dwelling units per acre” to “I, Institutional” for
development as a future elementary school site.
CPM #4 - Request by Oakpointe Communities to change the designation of multiple
parcels comprising the approximately 155-acre Bridges Project (formerly Verdana)
as Potential Annexation Area (PAA). This would require change to Comprehensive
Plan Land Use Map No. 1.1 in Volume 1, Land Use Element. Once annexed to the
City of Auburn, the Applicant proposes a Comprehensive Plan Map Designation of
“Single Family” with an implementing zoning designation of “R-5, Residential five
dwelling units per acre” for the existing single family developed portion of the site and
Comprehensive Plan Map Designation of “Moderate Density Residential” with an
implementing zoning designation of “R-16 Residential sixteen dwelling units per
acre” for the following four parcels: 108562-3990, 108562-3960, 108562-3970, and
108562-3980 making up the vacant 13.21-acre southeastern corner of the property.
Vice Chair Lee asked if there was a functioning Home Owner’s Association (HOA) in
the Oakpointe/The Bridges neighborhood and if so, are they aware of the changes?
Staff responded that yes, they do have an HOA and there is lik elihood the HOA has
been made aware of the changes based on the developer’s participating
membership in the HOA. Exactly how much the HOA understands, staff cannot be
certain. Staff added that at the National Night Out, event held last night, this
particular HOA was scheduled to host both the Mayor of Kent and the Mayor of
Auburn to attend the function in hopes of answering any questions.
The Commission asked if it is a builder-controlled HOA. Commissioner Stephens
requested information on this from staff. Staff offered to find out and will provide the
information to the Planning Commission.
Staff stated that in order to annex this particular area and to become part of the City
of Auburn, the residents would have a say in the voting on annexation.

Staff reaffirmed that the discussion topic with the Commission was for the purpose of
an introductory overview of the items under consideration for annual amendments
this year, including the private applications that have been received and that could
be part of the “docket” of 2019 annual Comp Plan amendments.
B. Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) Update – Aquifer Recharge Areas
Minutes
Senior Planner Dustin Lawrence reiterated the current status of review by the
Planning Commission by saying the City is in the process of updating its Shoreline
Master Program (SMP) and as part of the updates to the SMP, the City has
proposed making amendments to its Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) to be in-line
with other local, state, and federal requirements. Such requirements include those
that protect wetlands, streams, steep slopes, flood hazard areas, and aquifer
recharge areas.
The draft of code changes provided in the Planning Commission’s packet are related
to a certain type of critical areas--which in this case is aquifer recharge areas.
Aquifer Recharge Areas means areas with a critical recharging effect on aquifers
used for potable water, including areas where an aquifer that is a source of drinking
water is vulnerable to contamination that would affect the potability of the water or is
susceptible to reduced recharge.
This will be the final remaining portion of the Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) update
that is being reviewed by the Planning Commission in conjunction with the required
periodic update to the City’s Shoreline Master Program (SMP). This portion of the
CAO update is in response to comments received from the WA State Dept. of Health
(DOH) in regards to the City’s protection of aquifer recharge areas.
This is contrasted with the City codes current terminology that uses: “groundwater
protection areas”), which are defined as:
“…areas with a critical recharging effect on aquifers used for potable water,
including areas where an aquifer that is a source of drinking water is vulnerable to
contamination that would affect the potability of the water, or is susceptible to
reduced recharge.”
The current CAO affords protection to only to the City’s potable water
sources (i.e. wells, springs) and not to other “Group A” public water
systems. Group A public water systems include not only City systems but
also numerous other types of water system purveyors, which may include
“…any agency or subdivision of the state or any municipal corporation, firm,
company, mutual or cooperative association, institution, partnership, or
person or any other entity, that owns or operates a public water system…”.
In the City of Auburn these other entities include the following 16, Group A
water purveyors:
Auburn Park Community
Braunwood Estates
City of Bonney Lake

Crestview West Water System
Derbyshire Scenic Acres
Hazelwood Heights
Lake Meridian Water District
Lakehaven Water & Sewer District
Logandale Water Association
Rocky Acres Water System
South Auburn Water Association
Wells Water Association
Winchester Heights
Exhibit 1 (Map provided to the Commission titled: “Aquifer Recharge Areas”) shows
the location of these (non-City) shared well sites along with their associated aquifer
recharge areas (map data from the Dept. of Health’s “SWAP” mapping system,
available to view here: https://fortress.wa.gov/doh/swap/index.html). In looking at the
proposed CAO code updates (Exhibit 3- Text changes)) the colored areas on this
map would be the “Type I Aquifer Recharge Areas” (This includes the various
categories of travel time to the well and is more restrictive) and the remainder of the
City that has no color represents the “Type II Aquifer Recharge Areas” (less
restrictive);
For reference, Exhibit 2 (map provided to the Commission and titled
“Groundwater Protection Areas”) shows the existing “Groundwater
Protection Areas” (for consistency purposes with State rules/laws, the
correct terminology that will be used in the code section is “aquifer
recharge areas”). Essentially, the current Zones 1-3 on this map would
represent the new “Type I” areas and the current Zone 4 would represent
the new “Type II” areas. As can be seen when comparing the two maps,
Exhibit 1 adds several locations in the City to the more restrictive “Type I”
aquifer recharge areas.
The restrictions that are placed on Zones 1-3 as the new Type I are
essentially the same, the main difference is that these protections would
now apply to other (non-City) water purveyors (those listed above).
In conclusion, staff proposes to hold a public hearing on the updates to the
SMP and CAO in October and then a presentation and eventual adoption by
the City Council.
Vice Chair Lee asked if staff could clarify how the septic versus sewer service for
future development is affected by the proposed regulations. Which would be
preferred or not preferred? Staff responded that sewer is always going to be
preferred when it is located within a reasonable distance. However, some properties
Page 7 of 28
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES August 7, 2019
Page 6
could be located too far away for sewer or not capable of being served so septic
could have to be considered as an option.
The Commission questioned what the impact would be if a homeowner, for example,
on West Hill or Lea Hill had to do repairs to an existing septic system or drain field?
Would the changes cause it to be more costly or prohibit them from doing repairs or
replacement? Staff responded that the big impact would be on new development that
occurs on vacant land. If the developer wanted to develop a septic system in one of
the critical aquifer recharge areas and if the property is encumbered by the recharge
area, they would have to go through a critical areas variance process to prove to the
city that they could design septic system that will not be detrimental to the aquifer
recharge area. Senior Planner Dustin Lawrence clarified that greater flexibility is
generally extended to existing septic systems and thus the impact is anticipated to
be less on current septic systems.
Commissioner Stephens commented that he would like to see more data to see what
specific properties may be impacted to understand how many total lots are affected.
Staff responded that based on a rough calculation, there are 48 residential lots with
no sewer near the properties and that are shown within the aquifer recharge areas.
The Commission asked what the regulatory approach that applies in other
jurisdictions to their aquifer recharge areas. Are septic systems precluded?
Senior Planner Lawrence mentioned that he would have to follow up with other cities
such as Sumner and Kent to understand their process.
Planning Services Manager Jeff Dixon introduced City of Auburn Water Utilities
Engineer, Susan Fenhaus. If the Commission had any questions, she may also be
able to assist.
The Planning Commission did confirm that more data would help understand as well
as information on what other jurisdictions are doing. Senior Planner Lawrence
pointed out that the Planning Commission’s September meeting provides an
opportunity where these questions and concerns can be addressed.
Staff agreed to provide additional data, a map with lot sizes and sewer lines, as well
as looking into the surrounding jurisdictions and what their process for the Aquifer
Recharge Areas.
Planning Services Manager Dixon called the Commission’s attention to a copy of the
City’s web page for the Shoreline master program update. The web page has
recently been updated to announce the beginning of a 30-day public comment period
and informing the public that a public hearing is scheduled for October 8th. The
Webpage gives the public access to review related materials that have been
prepared.

IV. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT
Planning Services Manager, Jeff Dixon reported that progress is being made on the
location of the site formally known as the Heritage Building that was consumed by a fire
two years ago. There is a “clock ticking” as it was a much older building that did not have
parking when it was developed years ago. The owner has been requested to proceed
quickly in order to have the parking grandfathered in.
The Commission asked for an update on the Metro Bus Barn reported last month and if
a site has been selected. Staff responded that at this time, there was no update but this
could be due to evaluation of the sites is being conducted.
Recalling that the Planning Commission made a recommendation in the past,
Commissioner Stephens had a follow up question on the Lakeridge Paving Site on “A “
Street SE. He noted that there are no buildings on site, which is what was previously
presented to the Commission by the artistic perspective drawings. Now he has noticed
that heavy equipment was placed on site but no buildings. Staff responded that there are
some site restrictions such as wetlands that prevent full development. Staff is working
with Lakeridge representatives on those issues and the pre-conditions to equipment
placement on-site. Staff has also been working with Lakeridge as a follow up with the
nature of further development of the site and specifically there is a pre-application
meeting scheduled to discuss.
The Commission confirmed that the next meeting is Wednesday, September 4, 2019.
The Planning Commission Meeting was bumped to Wednesday due to the Labor Day
holiday on Monday September 2, 2019 and the City council meeting also being shifted.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Planning Commission, Vice Chair
Lee adjourned the meeting at 8:06 P.M.

Background Summary:
This memo covers the final portion of the Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) code update that is
being processed in conjunction with the required periodic update to the City’s Shoreline
Master Program (SMP). This portion of the CAO update includes addressing comments
received from the WA State Dept. of Health (DOH) in regards to the City’s protection of
aquifer recharge areas (also known as “groundwater protection areas”), which are defined as:
“…areas with a critical recharging effect on aquifers used for potable water, including
areas where an aquifer that is a source of drinking water is vulnerable to
contamination that would affect the potability of the water, or is susceptible to reduced
recharge.”
At the August 7, 2019 Planning Commission Meeting, staff presented the proposed strike-
through and underline changes to the aquifer recharge areas code section of the CAO. The
effect of the staff proposed code changes included providing the same protections that are
currently in place for development near City of Auburn well sites and associated groundwater
protection areas to protection of areas near community well sites. The approach was
suggested by staff since it was equitable and conservative in protection of groundwater
quality.
Of particular interest to the Commission was proposed code changes that would prohibit
construction of new individual on-site sewage disposal systems (septic) for vacant properties
that are near community well sites. Specifically, the Commission wanted a better
understanding of how septic systems are regulated by surrounding jurisdictions, especially
where the aquifer recharge area extends beyond the Auburn city limits and wanted additional
data regarding the number of properties that could be impacted by the septic system
prohibition.
Page 10 of 28
For reference, Exhibit 1 provides additional information as to how other nearby jurisdictions
regulate new septic systems that are located within aquifer recharge areas. In summary, the
City of Auburn’s proposed prohibition on new septic systems within all aquifer recharge areas
within our jurisdiction would be relatively unique. None of the jurisdictions analyzed, outright
prohibited septic systems within aquifer recharge areas. King County, however, generally
prohibits them on sites that are smaller than 1 acre, unless an analysis is completed
confirming no impacts will result to the well protection areas and no other method for sewage
disposal is available. Further, the Cities of Sumner and Federal Way prohibit community
septic systems (serving multiple residences) within the six-month and one-year time of travel
areas (areas that are typically located within 300 feet a well).
For reference, Exhibit 2 contains a table of all vacant and potentially developable properties
that are located within a community well protection area, as identified by the Washington State
Department of Health. The table further sorts the properties by their distance to the
community well based on the time of travel zones. “Time of travel” refers to the rate of
groundwater movement based on horizontal distance. Time travel zones of 6-month
represent the closest areas to the well, followed by 1-year, 5-years, and 10-years. Further,
the table identifies properties that can reasonably be served by public sewer. Of the
properties analyzed, 82 were found to be located within a community well protection area, 57
of which would likely be unable to obtain sewer service. Of the 57 sites located within these
areas, 2 properties are located within the six-month time of travel area and 13 properties are
located within a 1-year time of travel area.
Recognizing that a full prohibition of new septic systems may prove impractical for a limited
number of property owners and that surrounding jurisdictions offer more regulatory flexibility,
staff has proposed alternative code language, included as Exhibit 3 (see the highlighted
section on Page 3 of 4). Specifically, staff is now proposing that new individual septic system
installation only be prohibited within the six-month and one-year time of travel areas near
community well sites. While 15 properties (2+13) could potentially be affected, assuming
said properties would actually develop in the future before conditions change, options would
still be available to allow development in these areas such as extending public sewer or
seeking a critical area variance to grant relief from this prohibition and allow installation of a
septic system. Should the Planning Commission feel that such an approach is still too
restrictive for the 15 properties within the six-month and one-year time of travel areas, the
code could be further refined to only prohibit shared community septic systems in these
areas, similar to current City of Sumner and Federal Way regulations.
NEXT ST EPS
Because the public hearing on the updates to the SMP and CAO is scheduled for October
8th, at the September meeting staff is seeking guidance from the Commission to move
forward with the current aquifer recharge CAO code changes, with the proposed modification
to either limit individual septic systems in 6-month and 1-year time of travel areas, or prohibit
shared community septic systems within such areas.

Planning Commission – Follow Up Questions
What do other jurisdictions do in regards to new septic systems in aquifer recharge areas?
• The City of Kent does not prohibit septic systems within critical aquifer areas. However, the
applicant must demonstrate no contaminants will enter aquifer. Additionally, the applicant
must meet King County Health Department requirements.
• The City of Sumner prohibits community septic systems within the 1 year time of travel zone of
a wellhead protection areas.
• The City of Federal Way prohibits community septic systems within the 6 month and 1 year time
of travel zone areas.
• The City of Pacific does not prohibit onsite septic and defers to state requirements (WAC 246-
272A) which notes that public drinking water or well sites require a 100 foot setback.
• King County prohibits septic on lots smaller than 1 acre, unless the system is approved by the
Washington State Department of Health and can meet certain treatment standards to prevent
contamination to critical aquifer areas. If the applicant is able to prove that they are unable to
meet the State requirements, the King County Health Department may approve the system
based on a separate analysis.
In summary, Auburn’s approach to prohibit on-site sewage disposal (septic systems) within critical
aquifer recharge areas on small sites not served by sewer would be fairly unique compared to the
jurisdictions immediately surrounding the City. Larger systems, such as community septic systems
serving multiple properties, are limited within at least two other jurisdictions. While the City’s
preference was to apply a consistent approach to regulate aquifer recharge areas, whether City
resources or Group A community wells, it is recognized that such an approach may prove to be
cumbersome in areas of the City with no sewer availability.

EXHIBIT 3 - 8/7/2019 PC Mtg.
CRITICAL AREAS ORDINANCE (CHAPTER 16.10 ACC) – AQUIFER RECHARGE AREAS ONLY
Note: this text contains only the proposed changes to the portions of the critical areas ordinance that apply to aquifer
recharge areas.
16.10.020 Definitions.
For purposes of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply:
…
“Aquifer” means, generally, any water bearing soil or rock unit. Specifically, a body of soil or rock that contains sufficient
saturated permeable material to conduct ground water and yield economically significant quantities of ground water to
wells or springs.
“Aquifer Recharge Area” means areas with a critical recharging effect on aquifers used for potable water, including areas
where an aquifer that is a source of drinking water is vulnerable to contamination that would affect the potability of the
water, or is susceptible to reduced recharge.
…
“Ground water protection areas” means land areas designated by the city beneath which ground water occurs that is a
current or potential future source of drinking water for the city. Please see the definition of “aquifer recharge areas” for
additional regulated areas.
…
“Qualified consultant,” for purposes of these regulations, shall mean a person who has attained a degree from an
accredited college or university in the subject matter necessary to evaluate the critical area in question (e.g., biology,
ecology, or horticulture/arboriculture for wetlands, streams, wildlife habitat, and geology and/or civil engineering for
geologic hazards, and hydrogeologist for ground water protection areas), and/or who is professionally trained and/or
certified or licensed by the state of Washington to practice in the scientific disciplines necessary to identify, evaluate,
manage, and mitigate impacts to the critical area in question. In addition, a qualified consultant for wetlands and streams
must be a professional wetland scientist with at least two years of full-time work experience as a wetlands professional,
including delineating wetlands using the federal manual and supplements, preparing wetland reports, conducting function
assessments, and development and implementing mitigation plans. A qualified consultant for aquifer recharge areas must
be a currently licensed Washington State geologist holding a current specialty license in hydrogeology.
…
“Sole source aquifer” means an area formally designated as such by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the
federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
“Spring” means a source of water where an aquifer comes in contact with the ground surface.
…
“Well” includes any excavation that is drilled, cored, bored, washed, driven, dug, jetted or otherwise constructed when the intended
use of an excavation is for the location, diversion, artificial recharge, or withdrawal of ground water.
“Wellhead protection area” means the portion of a well’s, wellfield’s or spring’s zone of contribution within the ten-year time of travel
boundary, or boundaries established using alternate defined as such using the criteria approved established by the city state
Department of Health in those settings where groundwater time of travel is not a reasonable delineation criterion.
16.10.080 Classification and rating of critical areas.
A. To promote consistent application of the standards and requirements of this chapter, critical areas within the city of
Auburn shall be rated or classified according to their characteristics, function and value, and/or their sensitivity to
disturbance.
Page 17 of 28
B. Classification of critical areas shall be determined by the director based on consideration of the following factors and in
the following order:
1. Consideration of the technical reports submitted by qualified consultants in connection with applications subject to
these regulations;
2. Application of the criteria contained in these regulations; and
3. Critical areas maps maintained by the planning and department of community development department.
…
F. Aquifer Recharge Ground Water Protection Areas. The following Ground water protection areas are hereby designated
as aquifer recharge areas subject to review under this in this chapter. correspond to water resource protection areas,:
Type I.
which are described in the “Water Resource Protection Report” prepared for the city by Pacific Groundwater Group,
December 2000. Water resource protection areas are based on time-related “capture zones” also referred to as “time-of-
travel zones” which are derived using a numerical ground water flow model developed for the city and upon geologic
conditions. A capture zone is the area that supplies ground water recharge to a pumping well or a spring. A time-related
capture zone is the area that supplies ground water recharge to a pumping well or spring within a specified period of time.
The location of ground water protection areas have been revised to include all of a parcel where capture zones include a
portion of the parcel.
Ground water protection areas have been divided into four zones as follows:
1. “Ground water protection zone 1” represents the land area overlying the one-year time-of-travel zone of any well or
spring owned by the city.
2. “Ground water protection zone 2” represents the land area in the central part of the city beneath which the principal
aquifer used by the city for water supply is overlain by highly permeable sand and gravel deposits. These geologic
conditions provide a direct pathway for contaminants that may be released to the soil to reach the aquifer.
3. “Ground water protection zone 3” represents the land area overlying the region between the one-year and 10-year
time-of-travel zone of any well or spring owned by the city.
4. “Ground water protection zone 4” represents the land area within the city limits not designated as water resource
protection zones 1, 2 or 3.
1. Sole source aquifers and wellhead protection areas designated pursuant to the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act;
2. Areas established for special protection pursuant to a ground water management program as described by Chapters
90.44, 90.48 and 90.54 RCW and Chapters 173-100 and 173-200 WAC
3. Any other area meeting the definition of “areas with a critical recharging effect on aquifers used for potable water” as
described in Chapter 365-190 WAC and the Auburn comprehensive plan, including ground water protection areas #1-3 as
designated in the “Water Resource Protection Report” prepared for the City by Pacific Groundwater Group, December
2000.
Type II
1. Ground water protection area #4 as designated in the “Water Resource Protection Report” prepared for the city by
Pacific Groundwater Group, December 2000.
2. Any other area within the city that is not otherwise designated or that is added to the city via annexation shall be treated
as a Type II aquifer recharge area.
16.10.100 Alteration or development of critical areas – Standards and criteria – Prohibited Uses.
Alteration of specific critical areas and/or their buffers may be allowed by the director subject to the criteria of this section.
Alteration shall implement the mitigation standards as identified in ACC 16.10.110, and the performance standards of
ACC 16.10.120 and the monitoring requirements of ACC 16.10.130.
…

"Single Family." The majority of the parcel
is designated and zoned as "Institutional."

single parcel is reflected by
two land use designations and
zoning designations.
