VARIANCE BURDEN of PROOF Form NAME: r 4
FILE NUMBE
Introduction to this form:
A "variance" is the means by which an adjustment is made in the application of the specific
regulations of the zoning classification for a particular (the subject) piece of property. This
property, because of special circumstances applicable to it, is deprived of privileges commonly
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and in a similar zone classification. This adjustment
remedies the difference in privileges. A variance shall not authorize a use otherwise prohibited in
the zone classification in which the property is located.
The following questions will help to determine the outcome of your request. Your request
requires accurate and complete responses. First circle either the "yes" or the "no" answer(s)
following the questions below as they apply to your situation and then explain as needed (in the
space provided) to make your unique situation clear. Certain phrases from the Spokane County
Zoning Code section on variances are included in these questions. They are underlined.

VARIANCE BURDEN OF PROOF FORM ATTACHMENT
Project Narrative
Name
File Number
August 1, 1990
The proposed project will change the use of the subject single-family home to a
seminary (school) attended by students from the adjacent high school under a "release -
time" program. Under this program, students can use one of their electives to enroll
in the seminary class for religious instruction during one of the regularly scheduled
1 -hour class periods. For that particular class period, they would leave campus, walk
across the street to the seminary, attend class for the allotted time period, then
return to the campus for the remainder of the school day. Students are not permitted
to drive to, or park at the Seminary building.
It is expected that two class periods during the morning (i.e. before lunch period)
will be offered and attended by 8 to 10 students (total enrollment of 20 students).
One part-time teacher will staff the building. The structures will undergo minimal
remodelling: the Living Room will be used as the Classroom, one of the Bedrooms as
the instructors office, and the kitchen as a workroom for preparation of curriculum
materials. No cooking or food service will be provided, no outside physical education
program will be offered.
Burden of Proof Form, Item B Continued
B. The special circumstances which apply to this project are related to the size and
scope of this school and its limited and specific educational program. The 4 -1/2 -
acre site and 200 feet of street frontage requirements in the zoning code anticipate
a much larger school facility with the full range of programs such as outdoor
recreation areas, football fields, multi-purpose auditoriums, large student body
and staff, and traffic parking requirements normally associated with a typical
public high school. This project is not of the size or complexity intended by the
zoning standard.
Conclusion
This variance should be granted based on: that the needs of the school are
substantially less than those of full scale schools; that the Zoning Ordinance
Standards were intended to address the requirements of the larger "full service" public
or parochial schools; that the limited nature of the schooling activity make the
proposed variance reasonable; that the project is largely compatible with adjoining
properties through landscaping and building design. Furthermore, the proposed variance
will not constitute a grant of special privileges and the intent and purpose of the
Zoning Ordinance is achieved.
