GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant/Owner: EMPIRE INVESTMENTS Agent Glen Cloninger Proposal A request for a Chaage of Condition in an existing Multi-Fanuly Suburban Zone for the purpose of reviewing a new site development plan and to increase the residential density from 1 unit per 3,000 square feet of site area to 1 unit per 2,000 square feet of site area for development of an approximate 130 unit apartment complex on an approximate 6 12 acre site Location The site is generally located west of Regal Street, approximately 200 feet south of 57th Avenue and approxunately 160 feet east of Mt Vernon Road in SectiLon 4-24-43 Tax Parcel Numbers 04434-0103, 0104, 0105, 0106, and a portloa of 04434-0102 and 0112 Background This site is a part of an overall development concept submitted by the applicant and approved in 1974 The site adjacent on the north was approved for office use and the area west of this site fronung Mt Vernon Road was proposed for duplex development This site 19 I. GE .RAL INFORMATION ZS-63A-74 Background: requesting a change of condiuon was zoned to Multi-Family Suburban and was ued to a specific site development plan and condinons of approvai That approval limited the number of apartment units to 85 on this approximate 6 1 acre site, equivalent to one dwelhng unit per 3,000 square feet of land area S tructure height in 1974 was a maximum of 2 stories and there were standards established for laadscape buffers Use of existing native tree cover was encouraged in the eventnal landscape plan This change of condiuon request asks for increased density and review of a new site development plan The applicant proposes to increase the maxunum number of apartment units to 130 which is equivalent to one dwelling unit per 2,000 square feet of land area and is the maximum density allowed by the Mulu-Family S uburban Zone The structure height is proposed to be increased from the approved 2 story concept to 2 1/2 stories, approximately 35 feet to the peak of the roofs Along with the proposed density and height increases, a general redesign of the site plan is proposed and submitted for review II SITE ANALYSIS Comprehen9ive Plan URBAN Category Inside General Sewer Service Area (GSSA) Boundary Inside Prionty Sewer Service Area (PSSA) Boundary Iaside Urban Impact Area (UTA) Boundary The Urban category of the Comprehensive Plan contains guidelines for the development of high density residential projects Since the existing Mula-Family Suburban (MFS) Zone on site predates adopnon of the Spokane County Comprehensive Plan, the zoning issue is not of primary concern in this land use action However, the issues of density, structure height, and bufferuig are addressed by guidelines in the Coiaprehensive Plan These guidelines indicate that densities and structure heights should be consistent with the area so that the single family residennal amenities, such as aesthetics, character, and value, are all protected The techniques of buffering, (including landscaping, change in land use intensity, building height brmitations, and screening) should be used in those instances where adjacent land uses need to be protected ~ ~ II SITE ANALYSIS ZS-63A-74 Arterial Road Plan: Regal Street, adjacent to the site on the east, is designated within the Transportanon Secuon of the Comprehensive Plan as a minor arterial, ultinaately with a nght of way width of 80 feet to accommodate future planned improvements Setbacks for all structures and improvements on the property would be based upon the alignment of this future nght of way ZOIIIDg Existmg on S1TE MULTI-FAMILY SUBURBAN (established 1974) and within Aquifer Sensitive Area Overlay Zone h RTH Community Business (B-2) (estabhshed 1988) Agricultural Suburban (estabhshed 1961) Residenual Office (estabushed 1974 & 1983) Commercial (eatabhshed 1983) To the SOI)1'H.

The site plan submitted for review by the Zoning Heanag Examiner Committee is general in nature Detaded review to determine comphance with all Ordinance regulanons and conditions of approval is recommended to be administrative and to occur at the Building Permit stage A3 III SITE DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS ZS -63A-74 Density The applicant is proposing the maximum density allowed by the Multi-Family Suburban Zone, approxitnately 22 nnits per acre The proposed density is considerably higher than any densines found in the imniediate surrounding area Similar high density developments have been approved north of 57th Avenue adjacent to existing commercial development If approved, as requested, the density would increase by approximately 8 units per acre over what was allowed by the 1974 decision Design The design of this site is substantially consistent with that design approved in 1974, building layout and on-site circulauon is nearly identical There are, however, two design issues which should be discussed The csrport/garage structures proposed along the sonth property line adjacent to the future 60th Avenue extension require a 15 foot setback from the property line instead of the 5 foot setback indicated Structures, as indicated, would not be allowed in this location unless a variance were approved or the nght of way vacated The 1974 site plan was proposed with a maximum 2 story structure height which would be compatible with existing and developing single family areas to the south, southeast and southwest The present proposed 2 1/2 stories is well in excess of tbe structure heights existing in the 1 to 1 1/2 story single family developments in the area This may have a negative impact on adjacent development and could then run contrary to decision guidehnes for protection of single family ameniues contained in the Comprehensive Plan B uffering/Landacaping The proposed landscaping and buffering is generally consistent with that plan approved in 1974 However, the current site plan does not mdicate the plannect retenuon of exisang tree cover as reqnired by the 1974 approval S ince newly planted landscaping requires considerable time to become an effective buffer, it is recommended that as much existing tree cover as possible be retained to aid in the visual aesthetics of the developmenL This is especially important if the development is approved at a 2 1/2 story height Circulation/Access The Spokane County Engineer requires that Regal S treet be improved along with the development of this project This will require the addition of 4 to 6 feet of asphalt, curbs and sidewalks along the frontage of this site No requirements for the improvement of the 60th Avenue extension are required The original 1974 approval of this zone change prohibited any access from this site to 60th Avenue when and if it were to be developed As a measure to protect adjacent single family residential areas, the condition prohibiting access to 60th Avenue should remain in force The applicant' s site plan indicates retention of an additional 10 feet of land area along Regal Street for future acquisinon by Spokane County to A14 III. ~ITE DEVEL•OPMENT RECONiMENDATIONS ZS -63A-74 provide the minor arterial status and improvements recommended by the Comprehensive Plan S tructure setbacks and any requnred improvements will be requued to occur outside of this reserved strip Sewage Disposal It has been iadicated that a public sewer system, provided by the City of Spokane, may be available to this area in the near future In review of this project the Health District has determined that soils in the area are not generally suitable for on-site sewage disposal systems at this density Therefore, a public sewer system must be made available to this project and the use of on-site sewage disposal systems will not be authorized IV SFPA FNVTRONMENTAL. REVIEW An Environnieatal Checkust was submitted by the sponsor and was reviewed by the County Plannwg Department The review considered the specifics of the proposal, other available information, County ordinances, other regulations and laws, possible standard Conditions of Approval, the Generalized Comprehensive Plan, and other County policies and guidelines The Zoning Administrator has deternuned that "No probable significant adverse impacts" would result from the proposal being developed and has issued a ("DNS The "DNS" was circulated to tea other agencies of jurisdiction and other ageacies/departments affected by the future development for review and comment The "DNS" camment penod ends March 2, 1988, and was adverused 15 calendar days before said date in the newspaper, by letter to adjacent property owners within 400 feet of the proposal, and by nouce oa a sign posted on the proposal site The Hearing Exanainer may consider addinonal environmental related tesumony and the "DNS" at the public hearing V. PLANNING SUMMARY The Zonmg Hearing Examiner Committee should consider the following facts, as well as any public testimony presented at the public hearing, in their decision for this change of condition request a The Spokane Couaty Comprehensive Plan suggests a variety of residential densities within the Urban category, those densities ranging from one unit per acre upwards The highest density residential developments should be located with direct or near-direct access to the arterial road system and shonld not have a neganve impact on adjacent single family areas Among other issues, the Heanng Body should consider a development' s density and structure height and how these features impact adjacent uses b The proposed density of 22 units per acre is far in excess of the 3 to 4 units per acre density exisnng in the area No other high density a5 v PLAN2ITING SUMMARY ZS -63A-74 development exists or is approved south of 57th Avenue However, companble high density approvals exist north of 57th Avenne along Regal Street between two existing conimercial areas c The proposed 2 1/2 story structures may have a negative impact on the 1 to 1 1/2 story single famfly residennal developments exisung in the area Newly planted buffering strips may never have an effective screening value in relation to the height of the structures The retenuon of some of the existing trees on-site may help to soften the proposed structure height d Because of increased density and the poor soil condinons in the area, the Health District wdl require the extension of public sewers in development of this proposal The benefits achieved by extending sewers into this area and the resulnng protection to the aquifer may wanant the increased density requested by the apphcant e The proposed concept of high density residential development located between an exisnng commercial area to the north and adjacent single famfly areas to the south can be an acceptable transitional land use pattern Provisions have been made to funnel all traffic froin the site to the artenal road system thereby alleviating traffic flowing through a single faauly area V I.

the Committee present being Jim Schurra, Chairman, Ron Odell and Phillip D Harris B PROPOSAL The sponsor, UNIVERSITY CITY, INC , is requesting approval of a zone reclasstfication, File No ZE-50-87, Agricuitural Suburban, Multi-Family Suburban, and Commercial to Regional Business (B-3) Zone, for the purpose of developing a parking lot C FINDINGS OF FACT 1 That the existing land use in the area is gravel parking lot with lighnag, University Ciry Shopping Center, sewer trunk line, retail, large lot residential, future STA Transit Center, service shops and vacant 2 That the Comprehensive Plan designates this area as appropriate for MAJOR COMMERCIAL 8c URBAN development 3 That the existing zoning of the property descnbed in the application is Agricultural Suburban, Mulu-Family Suburban, and Commercial 4 That the provisions of RCW 43 21C (The State Environmental Policy Act) have been complied with, and the Committee concurs with the Determinauon of Non-S ignificance 5 That the proper legal requuements for advertisement of the Agenda Item have been fulfilled 6 That the land use in thYS area is suiiable for the proposed use, specifically, a parking lot facility, as allowed by the proposed Zone Classification 7 That the apphcant has demonstrated that conditions have substantially changed since the original zoning of this area and accordingly, the proposed rezone, for the parking lot facility, is justified 8 That the proposed use is compatible with existing uses in the area 9 That the owners of adjacent lands expressed both approval and disapproval of the proposed use and had questions that were answered at the public hearing ti y C FINDINGS OF FACT ZE-50-87 10 The Hearing Examiner Committee finds the proposed use, a parking lot faciIity, to be in harmony with the general purpose and will not be otherwise detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare 11 The following are addinonal findings of fact considered by the Hearing Examiner Committee a) That the Zoning Hearing Examiner Committee must put this request into perspective as a"new proposal" without regard to the applicaat' s past action aad use of the property in violation of various County codes The applicant testified that use of the site simply got ahead of the program and the need for County approvals was overlooked To insure that continued use of the site, for parking, catches up with required and necessary improvements, the Zoning Hearing Examiner Committee establishes a deadline for the applicant to comply with all conditions of approval b) The proposed Regional Business (B-3) Zone change for a parking lot can be considered consistent with the "transitional area" of the Comprehensive Plan text Proposed buffering within the site and adjacent to the south property llne should mitigate impacts south of the 100 foot County right of way The requested zone is consistent with the zoning trend established for higher iatensive uses between Sprague Avenue and the abandoned railroad nght of way Future structural expansions to the shopping center can be addressed by SEPA at the building permit stage c) There was not a great deal of public testimony presented concerning environmental impacts assaciated with continued use of the site as a parking lot facility Comments suggested that the use would have a negapve impact on schools in the area and concern was expressed about aquifer protection The required conditions will assure aquifer protecnon D CONDI'I'IONS OR CONTINCENCIES APPLIED TO THiS APPROVAL (All Conditions imposed by the Zoning Hearing Examiaer Committee
