II. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA):
Findings:
Ordinance No. 48 (effective March 31, 2003) adopted on an interim basis by reference the Spokane
Environmental Ordinance (Spokane County) thereby implementing the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) and Chapter 197-11 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) within the jurisdictional
limits of the City of Spokane Valley. The Current Planning Division determined that the request is
categorically exempt pursuant to WAC 197-11-800-6.b (Minor Land Use Decisions).
Conclusion(s):
Staff concludes that compliance with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) is not required.
ZONING CODE CONFORMITY:
Findings:
Section 14.404.090 (Administrative Variance)
Section 14.404.09.0 (Conditions for Granting an Administrative Variance) specifies the approval criteria
for the granting of an administrative variance, all of which must be complied with, if applicable. The
following are staff's findings and conclusion (s) for each of the criterion:
1. The administrative variance does not detract from the desired character and nature of the vicinity in
which it is proposed.
Finding (s): The subject property is zoned Urban Residential -3.5 and is currently occupied by a single-
family home. Surrounding, abutting and adjacent properties are also zoned UR -3.5 and are residential in
nature. The administrative variance request is to receive approval to reduce side yard setbacks for an
accessory structure from fourteen (14) feet to ten (10) feet six (6) inches, a twenty-five (25) percent
reduction. The purpose of the administrative variance request is to allow for more space to maneuver a
motor home or boat on the lot. Pursuant to Section 14.616.325.6.2 of the Spokane Valley Interim
Zoning Code, the minimum side yard setback of an accessory structure without an administrative
variance authorization is five (5) from the property line for the first fifteen (15) feet of height to the peak
of the building and an additional foot of setback for each additional foot of height. The applicant's
request seeks authorization to encroach into the required front yard setback by 3.5 feet. No other
modifications to the UR -3.5 zoning standards are proposed by the applicant. The administrative variance
request will not by itself change the existing residential character of the subject property as the proposed
setback is an acceptable and reasonable land use for the existing single-family purposes of the subject
property.
Conclusion (s): Criterion 1 is satisfied. The administrative variance request will not by itself change the
existing residential character of the subject property or surrounding properties.
2. The administrative variance enhances or protects the character of the neighborhood or vicinity by
protecting natural features, historic sites, open space, or other resources.
Finding (s): The subject property is currently used for a single-family residential use. Staff has
reviewed applicable adopted plans and maps including the City of Spokane Valley Interim Critical Areas
Maps, the City of Spokane Valley Interim Shorelines Management Program and the Federal Emergency
Staff Report and Notice of Decision for ADV -13-04
June 25, 2004
3 of 5
Management Agency's Flood Insurance Rate Maps (Community Panel No. 530174 300 C dated
September 30, 1992) and has determined that there are no natural features, historic sites, open space or
other such resources at or near the site
Conclusion (s): Criteria 2 is not applicable.
3. The administrative variance does not interfere with or negatively impact the operations of existing
land uses and all legally permitted uses within the zoning district it occupies.
Finding (s): The operations of existing land uses surrounding the property are similar to those on the
subject property (i.e. single-family residential use). The adjacent property to the south has an existing
detached garage that is approximately five (5) feet away from the property line between the two lots.
There is also a fence and landscaping dividing the two properties. The proposed 10.5 feet of setback
would still provide ample room between structures to allow for emergency access. The height of the
proposed structure, although relatively tall for an accessory structure, meets the height requirement for
the existing zoning designation and would not interfere with light exposure to any of the surrounding
properties.
Conclusion (s): Criterion 3 is satisfied because the administrative variance does not interfere with or
negatively impact the operations of existing land uses and all legally permitted uses within the zoning
district it occupies.
4. Granting the administrative variance does not constitute a threat to the public health, safety and
welfare within the City.
Finding (s): The proposed reduction of setback for the accessory structure would not impact
emergency personnel's ability to access the lot or surrounding lots because there will still be a minimum
of ten (10) foot six (6) inch side yard setback. Staff finds that the side yard setback authorized by the
administrative variance request would not interfere with requirements for emergency access nor would
this structure be constructed at or near close proximity to the subject property lines.
Conclusion (s): Criterion 4 is satisfied because the granting of the administrative variance does not
constitute a threat to the public health, safety or welfare to the public within the City.
5. In addition to the above conditions a variance may be issued when the following specific conditions
exist:
a. A parcel prior to the adoption of this zoning ordinance did not meet the buildable square footage
requirements for a parcel in a particular zoning district.
b. A dwelling has been rendered legal non -conforming due to setback, height and size and thus
cannot be expanded or otherwise reconstructed in a particular zoning district; or
c. Where duplexes are permitted, but due to dwelling (s) having been built prior to the adoption of
this zoning ordinance, the minimum size parcel cannot be met, an administrative variance may
allow the existing building or buildings to be reconstructed as a duplex.
Finding (s): The subject property meets current buildable square footage requirements as specified in
Section 14.616 (Urban Residential -3.5) of the Spokane Valley Interim Zoning Code. The City has not
classified the existing on-site dwelling as a legal non -conforming dwelling. The existing on-site dwelling
is currently intended for single-family use only, and is not proposed for reconstruction or reclassification.
Conclusion (s): Criteria 5. a -c are not applicable.
