therefore the floor area is the combined total area of both floors The approved dEvelopment plan corresponds with this definitioa (3) Building Coverage This ls defined as the area of the lot occupied by a building I E for a two story structure the building coverage would generally be the area of the ground floor (4) The term "building coverage" is not referred to in 14 504 040 (1), but "floor area" is Therefore, according to the definitions provided in the Code, the 24,760 sf total floor area shown on the approved development plan should be consldered when interpreting 14 504 040 (1) 2 Our client has a need for 5000 sf net useable area on each of two levels plus basement storage and building services A According to 14 504 040 (1), an alteration of the approved srte development plan may be approved administratively "provided the increase in floor area is less than 10% of the total floor area of all buildings on the approved development plan " B The total office area shown on the approved plan amounts to 19,140 sf Since 1977 there has been a 405 sf basement addition, bnnging the total existing building floor area to 9,045 sf To be in conformance with 14 504 (1) the total floor area for office use on our proposed addition cannot exceed 21,054 sf (19,140 sf plus 10%), less the 9,045 sf floor area of the existing office The result is a maximum approvable area of 12,009 sf for additional office floor area ~ C The other uses on the approved site plan amount to 5,620 sf The total space other uses than for office use on our proposal cannot exceed 6,182 sf (5,620 sf plus 10%), less the 2,400 sf floor area of the exisung storage buildings which will remain The result is a maximum approvable area of 3,782 sf for uses other than office space D We propose to build an addition to the existing office which consists of a ground floor and second story office building with 6,000 sf per floor and a 3,750 sf basement used for building services and storage 14.504.040f21 Because the location of the addition is different than the new building shown on the approved site development plan you may need to consider 14 504 040 (2) 1 Within 14 504 040 (2), the terms "density" and "intensity" of use are considered along with a developments affect on adjacent uses A In 14 300 100 the term density refers to the arnount of land per per building (1) On the approved development plan the building density is based upon building coverage and listed as 12 2°Io of the total lot area, well below the 65% maximum building coverage for development (2) Our proposal would result in a density of 13 0% based upon the lot area which is currently zoned UR-22 The density remains well below the UR-22 maximum density B Although "intensity" of use is referred to, it is not defined within the Zoning Code (1) The Amencan Standard Dictionary defines it as "The quantity of something per unit measure, especially per unit of length, area or volume " (2) I do not know what "intensrty" of a development plan is or how it is evaluated Therefore I cannot compare the intensity of the approved development plan with our proposal 2 In terms of the affect upon adjacent uses, our proposal will be an improvement over the approved development plan A Along the north boundary, the approved plan had a 21/2 story office building within 43' of the property line (1) Our proposed plan the new office addltion building would lie 97' from the north boundary B Along the east boundary, the approved plan has a 1 story shop building within 3' of the eastem boundary and a 1 story garage 10' from the eastern boundary There is no landscaping to buffer these buildings from the duplex residence on the adjacent lot (1) Our proposed plan would have a 2 story office building a minimum of 75' from the eastem line (2) Our proposed plan includes removal of the existing garage (3) When viewed from the adjacent lot, our sight-obscunng landscaping will be more attractive than the walls of the existing garage building . (4) The affect of our plan will be to provide attractive landscaping where none exists The net effect will be an enhancement over what was proposed on the approved development plan 3 THEREFORE CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE, Our building locataon may be approved because the density or intensity of use is not increased and our plan does not slgnificantly impact adjacent uses . , »(L o z eP ku. ~ eu Lar+cs ro nc Rcnaco oesIari ciRl?eRI4 i I 3iA sr eaIsti►+c arIa zanc uR-za L ~ i01AL 511t ARt1 DG 6/0 N MtW Q'flCt rLOOR 1R[A-1 9aRl[9 + DA5[M[M1 I! 1130 9r 8 9PA [9 ~ CA IS11NG Qr IC= fLa7R AR[A-1 810RIt9 4OA3[M[N1 9.015 9r ~ [111S1g1N~0 [J119TIN0 91atACC fL00R ARCA 2 A~ of 9TORAGC 101AL OUILDIHO COVtRAGG II 200 Sr ~Oa OUILOIMO OGTWI?Y 149 ~ R[QJIR[D PARKINO SPACtS 79 SPAG[S ~ iGMPLRAR'f DUILDING TO O[ CD PRqrioeo PafMiko sPAas ii i sPaus / - ~ 1300 9r S I I ~ ~ - Ku CJ n 7 LGVtI A1 " 8000 9r/LGYGL d ~ ~ J150 Sr ~ 01 d _ 0A9tN[Ni ~ - ~ ~ mmao-mmo ~ o, 0 \ o i.

Broadway Ave. ` Spokane; Vv A 99260 RE Administrative Detez-rnlnation, S. 720 Pines. ZE-i~.'0-77. Dear Mr. Norobioski: The proponeni of ZE-19()-77 was a noted develoPer who, for whatever rcasan, chose not to develog ttle siLe as was nroposed on Lhe l'CzOflC . Sll1Ce 1977, Lhe rezone proponeni has sold the property to 1ts current owner. IVQw, 18 yeai•s aftcr Lhe rezone, Lhe current owner has outbrown Lheir cxisting of;ice space and necds to add on to thei-r building, and wislles V upgrade Lhc appeurance o.t 'Lhe eYiScinLY biiildirag. To assure t.he most ef-Ficcent business operataon, lie has detennined that au additioo to Lhe east side of his buildingi iarge cnougti co meet t.heir current and fucure r:.quirements, is needed. A Site DevclopnlGnt Plan has been designed which proposes lcss thai-i a 10°lo increase buildin~ i7oor are~.: less loc cove~-age, f~e~~er build~ngs: less pavmg, -ind inorE landscaping than was appraved iu the rer.one. It does all thLs while cnhancing ahc impact qn adJaccnt developmeiat and rneets the owr.er's needs. If ever was tllere a public bcneti. as a i-esult of an administrative approval of an alterauaiz or addition ta an appr4vcd site developmcut plan, i.his is it It would bc unconscionable Co deny adrninistralive approval because Lne owner's site developmeni plan vaaies from the approved site development plan in severai ways which enhance Ihe beneTit of the developmvnt Lo t11e aei,a-hborhood. [n accortlavice wich 14 504.00 0f the Zoning Code, we bereUy requesL an Administiative 17eterminatiQn conceniing ihe Approved Sile Development PIan for ZE-190-77. SpecLfically; we reques< <hat Lhe Proposed Sitc Development PIa,n be anproved ~or devel4pmeni. Withm 14• 544.040, ihece are 5 alEerations to the Apgroved Site Developmemt Plan wfiicli may be deemed to be rnLnor in nature and may be apProvcd administrativety. aur proposat affccLs atems l, 2, 3 and 4. Xtem 5 does not apply in this case. Item I - "Additions to buildinUs, provideci tl.iac the mcmase in floor area does not exceed 10°Io of thc cotai floor area of all builclings on the Approwed Sifie Development P1an and tile additionks) does not exceed allowable densities" of Uie underlyLng zone or rzquirements governing building coverage:" ~d ~ ~vU U ~ • Develonment Plan Total Floor Area of all % Building Coverage buildines shown on Plan (Max in UR-22,65%) Approved ZE-190-77 24,760 sf 13 .16 °lo Proposed Plan 26,900. sf 12. 86% * 14.606.305 Density in the UR-22 zone is 1 dwelling per 10 cres. This does not apply. ~ based upon surveyed site dimensions. The proposed development plan has less than a 10% increase in floor area and building coveragc than that which was proposed for ZE-190-77. Item 2 - "Minor adjustments to building or structure locations, provided the the density or intensity of use is not increased and does not significantly affect adjacent uses;" As explained in (1) above, density in the UR-22 zone refers to dwelling units and does not apply in this instance. As explained in (1) above, the total floor area, would increase by less than 10% and total building coveragc on the Proposed Plan are less is than shown on the Approved Site Development Plan. In addition; Develonment Plan SF Ground SF Landscaping SF Pavement covered by (in addition to buildings existinQ) Approved ZE 190- 12,000 sf 5,756 sf 31,606 sf 77 (no defined type) Proposed Plan 10,320 sf 11, 768 sf 15,420 sf (of type I or II) The Approved Plan is more intensely developed than the Proposed Plan, it has 14°Io more ground covered by buildings, less than half as much defined additional landscaping and over twice as much paving than the Proposcd Plan. The only adjacent use is a 2 story duplex, (1970's vintage, in need of maintenance) which is located on the lot adjacent to the eastern boundary of the site in question. There is no other development within 100' of the proposed addition. The duplex has a garage unit on its westem end, closest to the proposed building addition. There are no windows on the end of the duplex and the height of the duplex is approximately 7' lower than the top of the parapet of the proposed office addition. We propose to install an attractive 6' wooden fence along the western boundary of the duplex lot, along with 20' of type I screening landscaping between the fence and the new building addition. These will replace an older house and its garage. The result will be an enhancement to the condition which currently exists between the existing office building and the duplex. L i Item 3 - "Changes in parking areas, provided that adopted regulations and conditions are met:" As stated in (2) above, there will be 16,186 sf less asphalt paving with the Proposed Plan than was shown on the Approved Plan. Item 4 - "Modifications to the landscape plan, provided that required percentages of landscaping or open space are not reduced below those prescribed in this Code or as approved by the Hearing Body:" As explained in Item above, there were no types of landscaping described on the Approved Plan. The Proposed Plan has over 6,000 sf more new Type I or Type II landscaping than all of the new landscaping shown on the Approved Plan. Item 5- Does not apply. Compared to the Approved Plan, the Proposed Plan has: Less than a 10% incrcase to building floor area. 1,680 sf less square footage. 0.3 percent less building coverage. Half as much paving. Twice as much new landscaped area and more intense landscaping. A more beneficial impact on the adjacent use than current development. Based upon all of the above, it's our opinion the Proposed Plan is a significant improvement to the Approved Development Plan and deserves administrative approval. Finally, please note that the proposed development plan is intended to define the maximum extcnt of development. That is, the setbacks shown will not be closer to a property line than is shown, the height of the new addition will not exceed that of the existing building, the total floor area will not exceed that shown, the floor elevations of the existing and new addition will be the same, and the types and locations of landscaping will be as shown. For obvious reasons, a final exterior design and floorplan cannot be accomplished until the extent of approvable development has been defined. Yours truly, Denny Christenson, A.I.A.

Thexefore the combined flo4r area of all floors of eiilarged building cannot exceed more than a 10% inerease over 19,140 sf, or 21,054 sf, 21,054 sf less the area of the exisung building (9,045 sf after the 1993 addition) equals 12,009 sf of total floor area allowable for the new addition. 4. The Planni-ng I7ept. will approve this as being substantially in ~ coufornlance with the approved development plan,;eGvi/J WA46 - CO. Develop an addition to the ea5t side vf the existing buiiding. la- 1. The sizc of the addition will be determi,ned as per 13, 7, 21 & 3 above. 2. An Administrative Interpretation would be xequired. a. We prvvide the Planning Dept. with rea50i1t.n$ supporting the buiiding Iocation. b, Thc Planning Dept. notifies surrounding propercy own.ers that the additioii is being built on the east side and explains their decision to allow this changc from the approved p1an. c. 7he cost to do this $210.00 for the interpretation ptus $275,00 for the n1vdified sice plan apQroval. (These fees increase by $5.00 and $15,00 respectively after 1/l/95). 3. Anotified property owner has 20 days in which to appeal the decision, 4. If therc is no appeal, the niatter is caosed and we ean proceed with our desigxi. 5. If there is an appeal, the matter will ,go befare the zaning Board of Adjustment at a February or Marcli publxc hearing. a. If ihey rule in our favar, we can procecd after a,ORy anpesl pEriod has lapsed, (and there's no appeal). b. If they ruie against us, we can go through a Change of Conditions pjocedure, (described below). 6. Steve bas never had one of these pxocedures appealed, but there are no fiuarantees it wouldn't happen tbis time. We caii comrncnce with a Change of Conditiong proeedure. ~ 1. With this procedure, we can present a site devclopment plan which could sbow the addition to the cast as we11 as any othcr buildings or additions which yvu may consider in the future. 10-94 TUE 18:42 rrh r i st enson As s.oc 4677616 P. 03 / 2. Fees musc be paid, neighbors notified, and a public hearing held. a. If we prevail, the 3ite can be develvped as we proposed. This could result in the approval to deveiop more floQr area than in A„ B,or C. b. If we dotl't prevail, we can fall back to A, or B above, 3. The time to complete this procedurc is 90-120 days. We can commence with a rezone procedure. 1. VVith this, we can present a sitc development plan as per D.1 above. 2. If we ptevail, the western 100-150' of the site would be zoned to B-2 Camnlunity Business, and the balance of the land, including lot 6 (currently UR3.5), could be UR-22. a. If we prevail, the uses of buildings in the B-2 zone would include retail and several uses not permitted in the current UR-22 zone and the uses pernaitted in th.e UR-22 zone, such as pUblic parking, and professional ofTxces,would be extended into lot 6. b. Yt's aikely thE rezvne would not include the existrng building, since it is 130' fzom the western property Iine, c. If we don't prevail, we can fall back to A or B above. 3. The time to completc tbis procedure is 90-120 days.
