building in which to operate an ice cream dis-Densor on Lot 5. Block 6, Replat of
College Homes Subdivision, in the N10400 Block on Division, be apuroved because
it is believed tha,t such an extension would not materially ohange the chaacacter
or e:-,isting use of ~Le prorertg.

1. Tr.a.t the anrlication of Ronald E. Rohde, E7207 Marj etta, for a variance r-ermit
of 10 feet+ of continuous frontage on the W. 501 of Tract 170, Orchsrd 9venue
.Addition, be denied at the request of the applicant who found that the variance
was not necessary to the uee of his pQ'operty.
2. That the application of the IIniveraity Place Community Club, for a variance of
5t of frvnt yard area and 201 of rear yard area, be denied. It wns found tba.t
restrictive covenantg in the dedication of the plat in which the land is 1.ocated '
jlould nrohibit the contemplated construction and that oWnere within the plat
wore pregared to take legal action to restrain the contempluted construction
Qhould the 3pplication be approved. '
V C:J..a~7G~." 07 T'r-; ZON= ^,r~T :Ai nP
l. Thzt t::e arplication to cnangP the zoning map fron Agricultural to Multiple Tamily
Suburban, one sauttre acre of land in the SE corner of SE4 of SWt of Soc• 19--25-42
10 x 210 f eeO, be approved. I t was found tbat the propQs ty was originally
c l a s a i f i e d A g r i c u l t u r a l D o c e n b e r 29, 1941. T h a.t since the ori ginal classificatioa
wa$ made a demand far rental houeing in the asea has been created because o f t he
development of Fairchild Air Force Rase as a permanent 3nstallation. It wa8 found
that the use of thia area for multiple family residential purposea for permanent
housing units will serve a public need and will not unduly interfer with the use
of the highwag or be in conflict With the accepted pla.n of development for the
3rea. It waa found that the development would not have an adverse effect on
adjacent groperty and would permit the use of an exdsting build3ng on the property,
an abandoned achool building.
2. That the application to change the zaning map from Unclassified to Agricultural-
Suburba.n on that propc3rty extending 4001 in depth south of Ferwell Rond, west
of Highland Street and east of exi.sting .9gricultural zone which lies 4001 SEly
of and pernendicular to ~ SE #6, be upproved. This property a but s an Agr icultwral--
-uburban aone and it is contemplated by the owrlera that it will be used for
resident ial turposes.
3. That the proposa.l by the i 14nning Commissfon anrl. W. Parrill, to clzange the
zoning map from Agricultural-S'uburban to 2dultiple Fasnily Suburban on Lots 11
and 12, N.offitts Subdivision of Block 151, Opportunity, lying between Moffitt
and Skipworth on the north side of Sprague Avenue, ad,jacent to the I,ocal Businese
Zone on Sprague Avenue, be approved in ao far as Lot 12 is concerned. It was
found that the adjacent I,ocal Eusiness Zone is being developed for cammercial use
and that the demand for multiple family dwellings in the valley is increasing ae
well as the demand for medical & dontal profession offices. It is believed tha.t
a mu.ltiple family re8idential zone is a.n appropriate classification for land in
a tra.nsitional area between commerciai areas and single family residenti.al areas.
I,ot 11 is not included in this recommendation at the requeat of the property
owner who did not object to the reclasaification of Lot 12. It is further recom-
mended that this reclasaification not take effect until satiefactory arrang►enents
aro mada to obtalnwat~,.r fros Skiru'orth Road rather than from Moffitt Road, the

a
the development of property near the Air 3a,se and along the Chen~---
Spokane Highway. This property was zoned Agricultural at the tir.
the property was purchased and had been so zoned for 12 yeaxs.
2. Coaditions have not materiall,y changed since the original zoning
except that the presant owner rurchaged the land to use it as
commercial nurposea without first invostigating the zone classification.
`ghile the Planniag Commission has sympathp for the position of the
owner, a po licy of gTant ing ercentions to every owner who pleSds
ignorance of the law i a unt enable .
j. It has nat been showa or found by the Planning Commission after
investigation that the zoning of this one garcel of land is necess•-r-
in the public interest or that it conforms with the general plan oi -
development of the area. The glan and zoni-ng may be provided for
commercial d.evelopment in other areas in the vic:.nity of Geiger Fic;.-
and there still remains many acras of undeveloped lnnd in a commerci
zone classification. If this one parcel of land were to be ra--zoned
it would constitute spot Zoning which is froWned on by the Courts.
In addition such action would destroy the total value of the zoning
in the area and there would be no grounds for turning down other
applications without acting in a disarininatory manuer.
~tihereas the value lies on property for which a zonQ chaage to business
~ is made, the value of surrounding resident ial property values; the
5. decline in value of aurrounding property►, although sligbt for each
individual piece, usually off sets the increased value of the groperty
for wnicr the change ; snnae• The reault, then, of spot zoning

f individua~ parc,_ _s of land as co~ercial contribuo.js to the instabilit;,- I
of land values rather than contributing to atability of land values
and the total worth. This fact ha.s been concluaively egtablished
by detailed studies conducted by urbaa 2and economists. As a matter
of fact residential construction has occurred in this area which rrould
be Edversel;j effected by a sweeping zone change which favorable action
on this request woul,i e4entually bring about. There has been no show-
ing that there i s a ahortage of land avai lable for present or future
commorcial development. Should ahap-hazard comaercial development
occur ovor an extended strip of the highrlay, the highway wi1.1 be re--
locatod to avo3d the resulting safety hazard and the decreased efficiency I
of the road. In the lor.g ru.n the ma3ority would not benefit if this

1. It is recom.*:erdud trlat t~:e Zoning Ordin!:~nce b~ a:~.~endol to ir.c"Lude as prohibitQd
uses in Section 6, Restricted Residential, and Section 5, Agricultural-Suburban
the erectian and maintenA.nce of billboards, signs, or other advprtisirig devicea
other thsn a aign siz square feet in aren for a home inaustry. Present regula-
tions require permits for sign boards in all zones and provide that the boards
may not be located in a way to create a traffic ha.zard or obscure a public _,ri: k
or place of recogniaed natural beauty.
2. A letter from the Disbman Commercial Cluh renuestiag the adoption uf a brail~I:.r.g
code for Spokane County was rend and is rQferred to the Board of County Ca1:-
missioners. The Plaaning Commission is on record as favoring orloption of n
buildi.ng code for Snokane County.
