COURCHAINE )
THIS MATTER, Being the consideration by the Board of Adjustn~ent for
Spokane County, is an appeal of an administrative action by the Spokane
County Zoning Adjusto r, approving the Variance #VE-234-83, for the purpose
of developing a three (3) unit Manufactured Honie Park on less than five (5)
acres, hereinafter referred to as the "Proposal", and the Spokane County
Board of Ac~justment having held a public hearing on April 18, 1984, and
having fully. conside red all testimony presented the reat, and having render-
ed a decision on the 18th day of April, 1984 approving said proposal, does
hereby make the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That the proposal is generally located at the southwest corner of
1lain Avenue and Marguerite Road in Section 18-25-44.
2. That the proposal consists of an apprn ximate 18,750 square foot
site planned to be developed as a 3 unit Manufactured Home Park.
3. That the adopted Spokane County Generalized Comprehensive Land Use
Plan indicates Urban usage of the area encompassed by the proposal and
the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
4. That the provisions of RCW Chapter 43.21C (State Environniental
Policy Act) have been complied with and the Board concurs with the Hearing
Examine r Coriunittee's issuance of a declaration of non-significance.
5. That the Spokane County Zoning Adjustor held a public hearing on
January 5, 1984, concerning the proposal, subsequent to which by Findings
of Fact, Decision and Order dated January 12, 1984, he unanimously approved
the pmposal subject to certain conditions.
6. That the existing land uses in the area of proposal include single
family residence, Dishman School, commercial and vacant land.
7. That the proposal is compatible with existing uses in the area.
8. That the proposal is not detrimental or otherwise harmful to the
public health, safety and welfare.
9. That the proposal is consistent with the surrouiiding land use
classifications and does not grant a special privilege or rights to the appli-
cant different than those enjoyed by adjacent property owners.
10. That the proper legal requirements for advertising of the hearing
before the Board of Adjustment of Spokane County have been met.
11. That the area is an older residential neighborhood in transition.
Allowing a manuf actured honie park, with three (3) mobile home units, on less
than five (5) acres p rovides mo re flexibility to an area undergoing changes
in use. If the variance we re denied, the resulting construction of a con-
ventional house to support a two unit manufactured home park may be rnore
detrimental, substandard, and inflexible to the area.
12. That the density issue was decided by the Zoning Hearing Examiner
Committee and the Board of County Commissioners in approval of Residential
Manufactured Home Zoning under file ZE-109-83.

From the foregoing Findings, a review of the Planning Department Staff

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project was originally submitted as a combined rezone and variance request before
a concurrent hearing by the Zoning Hearing Examiner Committee and the Zoning Adjustor
(the zoning request was a proposed reclassification f rom Agricultural Suburban to
Residential Manufactured Home. The variance was requqsted to allow a 3-unit manufactured
home park on less than the 5 acres required in the Residential Manufactured Home Zone,
Section 4.05A.050 (b) (le) of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance.) On January 5, 1984
he requested actions were approved by both Boards with Findings and Order on January 12,
~4. Both app rovals we re appealed by an objector of record; the zone reclassification
appealed to the Board of County Conunissioners and the variance was appealed to the
i of Adjustment. The Board of County Commissioners, after conducting a public hearing
•ch 13, 1984, approved the Residential Manufactured Home Zoning withwritten findings
'gr on April 3, 1984. The appeal to the granting of the variance by the Zoning
is the remaining issue before the Board of Adjustment.
~ed variance is to allow a 3-unit manufactured home park to be established on
,te 18,750 square foot site. Spokane County Zoning Ordinance, Section
(le) currently requires a minimum 5 acre site to establish a niobile home
,~al cites density, protection of the Aquifer, and a need to adhe re to
;ons of the manufactured home zone as the reason fo r the variance being
