The purpose of the Terrace View zoning district is to establish zoning requirements for the property commonly known as “Terrace View” which is located on the south side of the King/Pierce County line and east of the East Valley Highway. The parcel is approximately 52.66 acres in size. The Terrace View zoning district will reflect, in part, zoning provisions allowed by Pierce County and project submittals to Pierce County. Because of this, the Terrace View zoning district will be a modified version of the city of Auburn C-3 heavy commercial zoning district. The Terrace View zoning district also reflects the city of Auburn comprehensive plan map which was amended in 1998 to illustrate the property as heavy commercial. (Ord. 5377 § 2, 2000.)

The permitted uses allowed in the Terrace View zoning district will be those as allowed within Chapter 18.23 ACC, C-3 heavy commercial district, as may be amended. The process to allow any use on the Terrace View property shall be as required by this title with the exception that apartments/multifamily units will be considered an outright permitted use and will not require an administrative use permit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all marijuana-related businesses and marijuana cooperatives shall not be permitted in any residential or nonresidential portion of the Terrace View zoning district. (Ord. 6642 § 13, 2017; Ord. 6269 § 26, 2009; Ord. 5377 § 2, 2000.)

All development standards of this title will apply to the Terrace View property with the exception that no recreational vehicle parking spaces will be required if there are perpetual restrictive covenants recorded against the property that do not allow recreational vehicles to be parked in the multifamily complex. The restrictive covenants shall be approved by the city of Auburn and shall be recorded by the applicant prior to any building permits issued by Pierce County or the city of Auburn for any multifamily structure. An original recorded copy shall be provided to the city of Auburn. Any subsequent amendments to the approved covenants must be approved by the city of Auburn and recorded. Any recreational vehicles on the property that are in violation of this covenant shall be considered a violation of this title and will be subject to the provisions of Chapter 1.25 ACC, Civil Penalties for Violations. The owner/manager of the Terrace View property will be the party responsible for complying with Chapter 1.25 ACC. (Ord. 5377 § 2, 2000.)
