Title
AN ORDINANCE authorizing the county executive to execute an interlocal agreement with the city of Auburn to select a developer for a transit oriented development in the downtown area of Auburn.
Body
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. The city of Auburn ("city") and King County ("county") are working together to consolidate bus and rail transit facilities and create a transit oriented development ("TOD") in downtown Auburn.
2. The city has identified its downtown district for more intensive residential, retail and commercial development within walking distance of countywide transit connections.
3. Demand for commuter rail and bus transit park-and-ride has grown at the downtown Sounder garage and declined at the nearby Metro park-and-ride lot next to the Auburn Airport ("15th Street Park and Ride lot").
4. The potential to move users of the county's 15th Street Park-and-Ride lot, to the vicinity of the downtown Auburn Sounder garage will consolidate park-and-ride facilities in the area for more efficient transit operations.
5. The county currently provides bus service at the Auburn Transit Center at the commuter rail station. Service to the Auburn 15th Street Park-and-Ride lot could be reprogrammed to the Auburn Transit Center.
6. The 15th Street Park-and-Ride lot can be permitted for subdivision and redevelopment for other uses, potentially as retail/commercial for the private sector and airport runway extension for the city.
7. The city and county anticipate that the city will acquire a portion of the 15th Street Park-and-Ride lot in order to extend the runway at the city's airport.
8. The city and the county agree that it would benefit both parties to cooperate in the selection of a developer with whom the county could negotiate for replacement parking spaces for the users of the 15th Street Park-and-Ride lot.
