Council approves rezones, PUD parcel extraction and interlocal payment for mitigation tied to transmission main project
Summary
The council rezoned a parcel for Cascade Middle School, extracted 14 Auburn School District parcels from a PUD for future district use, and authorized a $121,885.63 contribution to Sumner as permit mitigation for a transmission main project.
The Auburn City Council on Sept. 15 approved several land‑use and intergovernmental actions during its regular meeting.
Ordinance 6987 rezoned parcel number 0004200001 from R‑2 (Residential low) to P‑1 (Public use) to make the zoning consistent with a previously adopted land‑use designation for future construction of Cascade Middle School. Council member Tracy Taylor moved to approve the ordinance; it passed on the council voice vote.
Ordinance 6988 approved a major amendment to the Lakeland Hills South Planned Unit Development (PUD) boundary to extract 14 Auburn School District parcels. Council member Tracy Taylor said the extraction is to allow future construction on school‑district‑owned property; the transcript records staff saying the parcels are Auburn School District‑owned and would allow future construction, with the council passing the ordinance on a voice vote.
Resolution 5856 authorized the mayor to execute an interlocal agreement with the City of Sumner relating to Auburn’s Coal Creek Springs transmission main replacement project and Sumner’s levee endpoint bar project. The resolution includes a city contribution of $121,885.63 to satisfy a permit mitigation commitment to the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife tied to the transmission main replacement project.
Discussion vs. decision: Council made formal decisions: both ordinances and the resolution were adopted at the Sept. 15 meeting. No substantive amendments to the ordinances were recorded in the meeting minutes.
What’s next: The rezoned parcel and the PUD amendment enable future Auburn School District construction planning. The interlocal agreement will be executed to meet permit mitigation obligations with state regulators.
