A. The Northeast Auburn special area plan (“subarea plan”) and its accompanying draft and final environmental impact statement (“EIS”) and EIS addenda have analyzed and addressed all of the probable significant environmental impacts associated with the land uses allowed by the city’s development regulations and described in the subarea plan as to the Northeast Auburn special planning area.

B. The analysis contained in the subarea plan and EIS and EIS addenda is adequate to identify the probable environmental impacts of developments allowed under the city’s development regulations which were not previously analyzed in the comprehensive plan and its accompanying environmental documents.

C. The mitigation measures identified in the environmental element of the subarea plan, EIS and EIS addenda, together with the regulations in the city’s development code, are adequate to identify and mitigate the probable significant environmental impacts of the land uses and developments considered within the planned action and subarea plan and EIS documents.

D. The expedited development review procedure in this chapter is consistent with law, will be a benefit to the public, will protect the environment, and will enhance the city’s economic development.

E. The public interest will be served by implementing the expedited development review procedure set forth in this chapter.

F. Public involvement and review of the subarea plan and EIS and EIS addenda have been extensive and meet the requirements of law, and have been sufficient to ensure that the subarea plan and EIS bear a substantial relationship to the public interest, health, safety, and welfare.

G. The land uses identified in the subarea plan for the Northeast Auburn special area are consistent with and will implement the comprehensive plan.

H. Northeast Auburn special area is hereby designated a planned action. (Ord. 6728 § 1 (Exh. A), 2019; Ord. 6382 § 2, 2011.)
