IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS
A. New Business—Study Session, Batch of Code Amendments:
Assistant Planner Christina Janssen made a presentation to the Commission
explaining the proposed code amendments. Ms. Janssen stated that each of the
following amendments were fairly minor but had either been over looked or
needed minor modifications that had been discovered as staff had moved
forward. As Ms. Janssen went through the list the Commissioners asked
questions about various issues, which were responded to appropriately.
Chapter 17.50.010, Staff is adding a requirement that all requests for
Administrative Interpretations be submitted in writing. This is
something at staff already requires, however, it was overlooked when
02/26/09 Planning Commission Minutes Page 1 of 3
putting it in the code itself. As Ms. Janssen went through each item,
Commissioners engaged
Chapter 17.80.150- Correct the Distribution of Notice requirements to
include the applicant, newspaper, city hall, and the main branch of the
library. This amendment relates to text amendments and they are like
an area wide rezone which does not require notification in a 400-foot
radius, which is what the current reference is to.
Table 17.80-1- Alphabetize table and add Alterations and Planned
Residential Developments.
Table 17.80-2-Update the table to make pre-application meetings
Optional for Type II applications with the exception of Short
Subdivision and Binding Site Plans and refer to Chapter
21.20.070(6)(2) for SEPA noticing requirements.
Chapter 19.70.010-Add a requirement that all parking, maneuvering
and outdoor storage areas shall be paved. Was this too burdensome
on some business owners for the City to require this? This is a
stormwater requirement, and also an air quality control issue as well.
No, staff does not feel it is too burdensome and the City is already
requiring it. This would only be applied to new construction or
redevelopment of a site.
Chapter 19.70.020-Add a requirement that all parking, maneuvering
and outdoor storage areas shall be paved.
Appendix 19-A-Allow Warehousing in areas zoned Community
Commercial with conditions. This will allow adaptive reuse of existing
buildings but not allow any new warehouses to be built.
Chapter 22.50.020-Add a requirement that all parking, maneuvering
and loading areas shall be paved and a stipulation that parking not
provided on the same site as the use or structure shall not be
separated from the use or building by a street designated as an
arterial.
Table 22.50-7-Remove Hotel/Motel from table. Not all Hotels or Motels
require load spaces. If they need them there are other places in the
code that would govern the requirement.
Chapter 22.110.030-Change directional sign size requirements to be
consistent with Table 22.110-1. These changes are
Chapter 22.110.030, and remove copy area requirements for
directional signs and name plates.
B. New Business—Study Session Comprehensive Plan Amendments.
Senior Planner Mike Basinger made a presentation to the Planning Commission
regarding this year's amendments, the amendment process and team who would
be handling the amendments this year.
Assistant Planner Karen Kendall came forward to explain Comprehensive Plan
Amendments CPA-01-09 and CPA-02-09. Ms Kendall explained that CPA-01-09
was located on the south side of 4th, east of Sullivan Rd. The request consists of
8 parcels and is the only applicant initiated request. The current is
Comprehensive Plan designation is Low Density Residential (LDR). The
proposal is to change it to High Density Residential (HRD), along with the
02/26/09 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 3
Comprehensive Plan designation change it is also require a zoning change. The
change on this property would be from R-3 zoning to MR-2.
CPA-02-09, Ms. Kendall stated that this amendment was located on Sullivan just
south of 4th Ave. This is a City initiated amendment. Currently there are two
multi-tenant buildings on each parcel. Currently the property is designated as
High Density Residential, the proposal is to change it to neighborhood
commercial. The current zoning is MF-2 and the proposed change is to
neighborhood commercial. Question is what is the benefit in changing? Answer
is the current uses are limited and the change makes the property conforming.
Planning Technician Marty Palaniuk presented CPA-03-09, which is located
between Argonne and Mullan, south of Sinto and Boone. The current
Comprehensive Plan designation is office, the proposed change is to Community
Commercial. Current zoning is office, the proposed change is to Community
Commercial. Question is what uses are on the property? Currently Community
Commercial, in the interim zoning it was zoned B-3, trying not to make the non-
conforming,
CPA-04-09, Mr. Palaniuk presented this property is located east of progress and
west of Sullivan, north of Sprague. It is located behind Yokes, and currently
designated Community Commercial. The proposal is to LDR, zoning is
Community Commercial, staff is proposing a change to R-4. Question is what is
on the ground? It has been developed to housing, with one house having been
built but two vacant lots currently.
Senior Planner Mike Basinger returned to explain the text amendments being
proposed. CPA-05-09, Chapter 2 Land Use, update Table 2.1 land capacity
analysis table and the 2011 UGA, added annexation goals and policies. Staff
has evaluated the public/quasi-public designation (community facility zoning) and
determined that this is not an effective way to treat these properties. Staff
recommends changing each of these parcels to the underlying
designation/zoning and will bring each of the 464 parcels in small groups forward
at the public hearing for approval to modify each parcel. Staff will also create a
parks and open space designation/zoning to cover our parks and parcels along
the river.
CPA-06-09, Chapter 3 Transportation. Staff has added text for new bike
classification; added bike lanes that are complete or will be by the end of the
construction season to the map.
CPA-07-09, Capital Facilities. Staff have updated the 6-year TIP, updated the
water districts map, update the parks map, update the 6-year sewer maps and
added annexation area level of service language.
CPA-08-09 Chapter 8 Natural Resources. Staff have updated the Wetlands
map, and updated Fish &Wildlife map.

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 of 2007 and was
effective October 28th, 2007. Following the adoption of the code, a number of items were
discovered which were incorrect, impractical, or omitted. These amendments are corrections of
some of these items.
ANALYSIS: Spokane Valley Municipal Code Section 17.80.150(6) provides approval criteria
that amendments of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code must meet. Those criteria include:
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 constantly reviews and takes in comments regarding its Code
provisions in an effort to fix things that are incorrect, don't work as intended, were
omitted in error, and to remove those provisions that our experience shows us are
unnecessary. We have been accumulating a number of potential changes as they
relate to code compliance-related provisions, which are provided in the attachment.
SVMC 17.80.150(F) states that the City may approve amendments to the UDC if it finds
that:
(1) the proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan; and
(2) the proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to the public health, safety,
welfare, and protection of the environment.
NEG-10 endeavors to protect groundwater quality from adverse development
standards. Requiring paving of all parking, maneuvering, loading areas, and outdoor
storage areas allows the discharge of groundwater to be controlled and filtered prior to
entering the aquifer.
EDG-1 encourages diverse and mutually supportive business development and the
expansion and retention of existing businesses within the City for the purpose of
emphasizing vitality, stability, and sustainability. Allowing warehouses to locate in
Community Commercial areas, where adaptive reuse is employed, allows for a wider
range and flexibly of uses for already existing buildings.
EDG-7 works to maintain a regulatory environment that offers flexibility, consistency,
predictability and clear direction. Removing Hotel/Motel from the "Loading Spaces
Required" table allows these businesses to provide loading spaces only when they are
needed.
LUG-14 Improve the appearance and function of the built environment & TUG-5 Extend
the functional life of the existing transportation system and increase its safe and efficient
operation through the application of TSM strategies. Preventing parking facilities from
being separated from uses by arterials improves safety and functionality.
Lastly, the remaining amendments are being proposed strictly to correct errors or
inconsistencies as follows:
Requiring all requests for Administrative Interpretations to be submitted in writing,
correcting the Distribution of Notice requirements, alphabetize and add alterations and
1 - 0
PRD's to the Permit Type table, make pre-application meetings Optional for Type II
applications except Short Subdivisions and Binding Site Plans and refer to Chapter
21.20.070(6)(2) for SEPA noticing requirements, update directional sign and name plate
requirements to be consistent throughout the code.
The proposed amendments to the zone meet the above outlined goals, and are thus
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
OPTIONS: Review and recommend approval or non-approval as drafted or amended.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff's opinion is that the proposed amendments
meets the above noted criteria and recommend that the Planning Commission forward a
recommendation to amend the Municipal Code as stated above.

22.50.020 Vehicle parking.
A. Rules for Computing Number of Parking Spaces—Shown in Table 22.50-2. The
number of required off-street parking spaces shall be based on the following:
1. "Floor area" shall mean the gross square feet of the specific use.
2. Where fractional spaces result, the parking spaces required shall be constructed
to the nearest whole number.
3. Uses not specified in Table 22.50-2 shall provide parking based on a use of
similar nature;
4. New Construction. Prior to occupancy of a new structure within any zoning
district, off-street vehicle parking shall be provided in accordance with Table 22.50-2.
5. Expansion of Existing Use. Prior to occupancy of an expanded (enlarged) floor
area, off-street vehicle parking shall be provided in accordance with Table 22.50-2 based
on the expanded square footage.
6. Change of Use. If the minimum number of vehicle parking spaces required for
the change of use added to the existing on-site parking supply falls short of the minimum
number of vehicle parking spaces required for the project as a whole,the applicant shall
provide additional spaces to bring the total supply up to the minimum required.
7. In the case of multiple-use occupancies, other than shopping centers, in a
building or on a lot, the total requirement for off-street parking shall be the sum of the
requirements for the various uses computed separately.
8. Tandem spaces shall not count as required parking.
9. All parking. maneuvering and loading areas shall be paved.
B. Location of parking spaces, except as follows:
1. For nonresidential uses, required off-street parking shall be located in the same
zone or in a zone which allows the use for which the parking is required.
2. All parking spaces required herein shall be located on the same parcel with the
building or use served unless:
a. The parking is located on a contiguous parcel or parcels under the same
ownership and title notice is filed identifying the parking serving the other building or
use; or
b. If the required parking for a building or use is located on a parcel(s) other
than described in subsection (B)(1) of this section, the owner of the parcel upon which
the proposed parking is located executes a joint parking agreement in a form acceptable
to the city attorney, stating that the parcel is devoted in whole or in part to required
parking for the use of a parcel or parcels under separate ownership. The agreement shall
be binding on both properties and shall be recorded with the Spokane County auditor's
office and filed with the Spokane Valley department of community development;
c. Where shared parking is proposed, the minimum number of parking
spaces for all shared uses shown on Table 22.50-2 shall be calculated. When these totals
are applied to the percentages shown on Table 22.50-1, the minimum number of parking
spaces required is the largest sum of the individual totals for each time period.
d. Parking not provided on the same site as the use or structure shall not be
separated from the use or building by a street designated as an arterial.
