GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A.390 and RCW 35A.63.220 PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION TAKEN: None BACKGROUND: The Uniform Development Code was adopted in September, 2007 and was effective October 28th, 2007. Errors and omissions were discovered following the codes adoption while other issues were not clearly or fully addressed. These amendments will correct errors and omissions, resolve ambiguity and clarify standards. ANALYSIS: Amendments of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code must meet the following approval criteria contained in Spokane Valley Municipal Code Section 17.80.150(6): 1. The proposed amendment(s) are consistent with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed amendment(s) bear a substantial relation to the public health, safety, welfare and protection of the environment. Staff Comment: Staff continually reviews public comments regarding Code provisions in an effort to make grammatical corrections, rework code that does not achieve intended results, account for errors of omission, and remove provisions that our experience shows us are unnecessary. A number of potential changes are included in the attachment. SVMC 17.80.150(F) states that the City may approve amendments to the UDC if they are consistent with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and bear a substantial relation to the public health, safety, welfare and protection of the environment. The proposed amendments relate directly to the following Comprehensive Plan goals: LUP-1.1 - Maintain and protect the character of existing and future residential neighborhoods through the development and enforcement of the City's land use regulations and joint planning. The clearview triangle is a safety requirement and directly impacts the residential character. A safer environment enhances pedestrian, bicycle, and recreation activity within the neighborhood. LUP-1.2 - Protect residential areas from impacts of adjacent non-residential uses and/or higher intensity uses through the development and enforcement of the City's land use regulations and joint planning. Barbed, razor, and concertina wire fences can be detrimental to residential activity. Restricting their use near residential areas will increase public safety and enhance the residential environment. LUP-1.4 - Encourage the development of transportation routes and facilities to serve residential neighborhoods. Special attention should be given to pedestrian circulation. Clearview triangles are essential to safe traffic flow in all areas. These are even more critical to pedestrian and bicycle safety in residential neighborhoods. LUP-7.3 - Require clear and safe pedestrian paths to enhance the pedestrian network. Clearview triangles are a necessary component of clear and safe pedestrian pathways. LUG-14 - Improve the appearance and function of the built environment. Development standards require front yards for all residential and commercial projects. Restricting fence height to 36 to 48 inches in this required front yard enhances the appearance of the built environment. Currently businesses are permitted to erect 8 foot fences up to the property line within the front yard. TG-1 - Establish appropriate design standards for transportation facilities. The amendment establishes a standard for fences within the clearview triangle as it relates to street and driveways. NG-2 - Preserve and protect the character of Spokane Valley's residential neighborhoods. Restricting the use of barbed, razor and concertina wire serves to protect the residential character of a neighborhood. Establishing safe clearview triangles enhances pedestrian, bicycle and recreational activity in neighborhoods. The remaining amendments are being proposed strictly to correct errors or inconsistencies as follows: Requiring a pre-application conference for all commercial building permit applications is consistent with actual policy and procedures. The proposed amendments to the Municipal Code meet the above outlined goals, and are thus consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff's opinion is that the proposed amendments meets the above noted criteria and recommend that the Planning Commission hold a Public Hearing for these proposed amendments. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: NA STAFF CONTACT: Martin Palaniuk, Assistant Planner ATTACHMENTS: (1) Amended Text 22.70.020 General provisions — Fencing. A.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Planning Commission Review Meeting Date: January 28, 2010 Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing ® information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation FILE NUMBER: CTA-01-10 AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Study Session —Amendment to Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: A privately initiated text amendment proposing to amend Sections 19.70.010 and 19.120 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) to conditionally allow secondhand stores and consignment sales in the Light Industrial (L-1) zone. GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 19.30.040 development regulation text amendments. PREVIOUS ACTION TAKEN: None BACKGROUND: The applicant, Dwight Hume had preliminary discussions with staff regarding the proposed text amendment, prior to a formal submittal. The following is a summary of the applicant's reasoning as stated in the text amendment application. 1. Larger secondhand stores process larger volumes of merchandise and may distribute unused inventory to other locations; and 2. The larger stores will require bigger warehouse spaces and additional loading spaces for shipping and receiving; and 3. Real estate costs in commercial zoned properties are often 4 to 5 times more expensive, and the retail price of goods must remain competitive with the smaller thrift store operators who do not need to lease or buy larger facilities. Staff consulted with the applicant following the application submittal to clarify a few items with the proposed 'conditions' associated with code amendment. As modified, the privately initiated text amendment is proposing for"secondhand stores and consignment sales" to be allowed in the light industrial (I-1) zone with the following conditions; 1. The subject parcel must have frontage on an arterial; and 2. Minimum building size of 15,000 gross square feet (gsf). APPROVAL CRITERIA: Section 17.80.150(6) of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code provides approval criteria for text amendments to the Spokane Valley Municipal Code. The criterion stipulates that the proposed amendment(s) must be consistent with the RPCA Study Session for CTA-01-10 1 of 2 applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and bear a substantial relation to the public health, safety, welfare, and protection of the environment. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission hold a Public Hearing for the proposed text amendment.

Rev 04/08 2 Text Amendment Request Supplement Summary of Requested Code Amendment This request would allow larger secondhand stores to be located within the Light Industrial zone whereas they are not currently permitted. The use would have an"S"and the conditions would limit the possible location,size and type of secondhand store to ones that front along arterials;have a minimum of 15,000 gsf and does not allow "consignment"stores. Reasons for Requested Code Amendment: 1) Larger secondhand stores process larger volumes of merchandise and typically export unusable inventory to other recycler's whereas, smaller stores discard unusable merchandise and donations without exporting to a recycler. 2) These larger volumes require both larger warehouse space for processing,more loading docks for shipping and receiving and more floor space for retail sales. 3) The cost of real estate in commercial zoned property is often 4 or 5 times more expensive and the retail price of goods must remain competitive with the smaller thrift store operators who do not need to lease or buy such large facility's. %The exclusion of consignment stores is intended since such stores do not need the shipping and handling areas of a thrift store and can compete competitively from a commercial location. 12- ,aieci emat,t *eked Oil io PART III APPLICANT SIGNATURE I, -DR /7q U e--- , (print name) SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE ZABOVE RESPs A MADE TRUTHFULLY AND TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. �J/ re) / � 'f0 (Sig /Ziyiie_./ (�t ) NOTARY (For Part 1111 above) STATE OF WASHINGTON ) ss: COUNTY OF SPOKANE ) • SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN to before me this s, ) day of, c Sr)V.cj , 20 \b NOTARY SEAL O IGNATURE Notary Public in and fo the State of Washington \\,\\\‘‘""i111 Residing at: R r,, 'L,013\C- e- CC3u,\A -- - 1 \�n�A _='.4 .

I choose the word "some" purposely, because I believe that there is a difference between secondhand stores and certainly between secondhand stores and consignment stores. Accordingly, I offer this amendment as one in which conditions apply to only allow those secondhand stores that are, by their nature of particular size and function to have many characteristics and needs of other light industrial uses. And it is because of this need for more space and more loading dock capabilities for shipping and handling, that the cost of commercial space renders this scale of operation non-competitive with its smaller counterparts in the market place. Will this amendment increase the availability of commercial retail space within the city? The simple and quick answer is no for the following reasons: a) It is a limited use of secondhand stores and above 15000 gsf; b) The use must be on and exposed to an arterial c) No other derivatives of this use classification are allowed Will this amendment set a precedent for other future retail amendments in this zone?The simple and quick answer to this is no because the proposed amendment attends to an intensity of use that truly has more characteristics and needs of other light industrial use in terms of size and shipping and receiving and processing requirements. That cannot be said of other retail commercial uses and should they exist, they must be amended and approved on their own merits and public scrutiny and if they too have merit, what difference does this make? I am available for any questions of staff as this is being considered for adoption. As you know, my client can meet these requirements and restrictions and has an urgent need to "set up shop" as soon as possible since the tenant's profits benefit 1 . so many other organizations and a facility such as this can improve their production levels for that purpose.

Jam following up with our discussion. ror clarification purposes,please send me confirmation of your acknowledgement and/or agreement to the following. . We discussed the possibility of removing one proposed criteria from the text amendment,which is; 'No consignment storespernated."As we talked,keeping this criteria would require additional changes to the Municipal Code not proposed in your text amendment. Staff feels the two remaining criteria would limit the number of secondhand and consignment stores and would not potentially open the doors for increased retail type uses. f 2.. We also discussed the second criteria ",jtore must have frontage on and visibi/uty from an arterial'We discussed the possibility of removing"...and visibility from..."for the reason J mentioned of being too subject to clearly administer. I looked in the City's definitions and found keeping the proposed criteria, minus what's mentioned above,that"frontage"is defined clearly to meet the intent. 3. Lastly,I forgot to mention on the phone,but just wanted clarification. The Schedule of Permitted(Jses (19.1 zo)states;"secondhand store,consignment sales." just want to make sure the title of the use is not being changed. I'll look forward to your discussion and responses to the above items. Lastly, I've listed below all the Planning Commission and City Council dates for the proposed amendment. 1.
