IN THE MATTER OF VARIANCES FROM )
SIGNAGE STANDARDS [ V E- 7 8- 8 S]; ) FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS
BOBBIE SWANSON ) AND DECISION
COMPANION FILES: ZE-12-72, VE-39-73 ) V E-82-73, V E-11-77 )
SUMMARY OF APPLICATION:
The applicant originally requested a front yard setback variance, a height variance, a
variance to allow increased lighting intensity and a variance to allow a greater square
footage for a freestanding sign than allowed by the Ordinance in all instances. During the
hearing the applicant presented a prefsrred alfernative design which retained the same eight
and one-half (02) feet setback from the front property line, brought the height to within
eighteen (18) feet (allowed outright in the zone), reiterated a maximum eight hundred
(800) milliamperes behind plex face and reduced the requested size from one hundred
twenty-four (124) square feet to ninety (90) square feet. The pertinent sections of the
Code are Section 4.09.125 b. and VE-82-73; 4.09.125 c.: and Section 4.09.125 e. and VE-
39-73 and VE-11-77. Authority to consider and grant such a request exists pursuant to
Section 4.03.020 (variance) and 4.25.030 b. of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance.
PROJECT LOCATION:
The property is generally located in the Spokane valley on the northwest corner of Sprague
Avenue and Moffitt Road in the SW Ya of Section 16, Township 25N, Range 44EWM. The
Assessor's parcel number is 16543-0589 and the property is addressed as E. 11105
Sprague Avenue.
DECISION SUMMARY OF THE ZONING ADJUSTOR:
Based upon the evidence presented and circumstances associated with the project proposal,
the Zoning Adjustor APPROVES the sign variances.
OPPONENTS OF RECORD:
None
PUBLIC NEARING:
After examining all available information on file with the application and visiting the
subject property and surrounding area, the Zoning Adjustor conducted a public hearing on
December 12, 1988, and rendered a written decision on January il , 1989.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The project location is as set forth above under PROJECT LOCATION.
2. The original property was zoned local business, along with several properties to
the west, in 1972 (ZE-12-72). Apartment buildings were under construction immediately
to the north of the site. At the time of the zone reclassification, the Planning Commission in
1972 indicated that the site was probably best suited for office use. However, because the
proposal included some business uses and a restaurant use, the Commission decided that
Local Business Zoning would provide the best buffer for the apartment and single-family
uses, while still allowing a restaurant and some other local business uses. The County
Commissioners in an appeal hearing approved the zone reclassification. Since that period of
time all the other properties of the original zone change except this one have been rezoned to
either Commercial or B-3 zoning and all of Sprague Avenue within approximately one-
quarter (Y4 ) mile of this site, on both the north and the south side, is otherwise Commercial
Zoning. This site was never rezoned because the basic use of a restaurant, as an allowed use
in a Local Business Zone, has never changed. The signage within approximately one-quarter
(Y4 ) mile in either direction is signage associated with the Commercial Zone, specifically
having little or no setback from the front property line, no height limitation and no area
i f
CASE NO. VE-78-88 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 2
limitations. There is no need to rezone the property in order to accommodate the new
restaurant use which is proposed to replace the old restaurant use. Compared to some of the
other commerclal properties in the area, this restaurant use is much more dependant on
quick, visual name association for prospective customers to find the restaurant location.
The applicant is proposing to locate the sign six (6) inches closer (approximately 8' 6"
from the front property line) than a previous variance allowed (VE-82-73).
The applicant's revised sign proposal reduced the height from twenty-two (22) feet
(needing a variance of two feet) to eighteen (18) feet, which requires no height variance.
The applicant still wishes to maintain the flexibility to reach the eight hundred (800)
milliamperes standard, as opposed to the four hundred (400) milliamperes standard stated
in the zoning ordinance.
Finally, the applicant wishes to increase the area of each side of the sign's surface;
originally having proposed one hundred twenty•four (124) square feet, and during the
hearing reducing that to approximately ninety square feet, including about a sixteen (16)
square feet (per side) of support cover to hide the eight (8) inch metal pole. Previously,
sign variances have been granted to a total of sixty-six (66) square feet per side of the
double facing sign (VE-39-73 and VE•11-77).
3. The adopted Spokane County Future Land Use Plan designates the area of the
proposal as Major Commercial.
4. The existing land uses in the area of the proposal include nearly all commercial
uses east and west of the site for approximately one-quarter (Y4 ) mile.
5. Modern Electric and Water Company notified' the Zoning Adjustor (12/16/88)
that the proposed sign is outside of the distance that they consider to be a potential hazard
area for an accessory structure located in proximity to their power lines.
6. Sprague Avenue is identified as a Principal Arterial without controlled access in
the Spokane County Arterial Road Plan. As such the future right-of-way will range from
one hundred (100) feet to one hundred thirty (130) feet. The existing right•of-way is one
hundred ten (110) feet, therefore it is possible that an expansion of an additional ten (10)
feet to the north may occur at sometime in the future.
7. The proposal is exempt from the provisions of Chapter 43.21 C RCW pursuant to
WAC 197-11-800 (6) (b).
8. The applicant has been made aware of the recommendations of various
County/State agencies reviewing this project and has indicated she can comply with those
recommendations.
9. No one appeared to oppose the proposal nor were any written comments adverse
to the proposal received.
10. The proper legal requirements for advertising of the hearing before the Zoning
Adjustor of Spokane County have been met.
1 1. Any conclusion hereinafter stated which may be deemed a finding herein is
hereby adopted as such.
From the Findings, the Zoning Adjustor comes to these:
CONCLUSIONS
1. The property is zoned Local Business and the use contained on the property has
been clearly a permitted use since 1972, when the property was rezoned. The adjoining
Local Business Zoned property has been changed to either Commercial or B-3 Zoning, thus
making this stretch of Sprague Avenue totally heavy commercial zoning on both sides of the
street. Signage for the vicinity and similar zoning is thus not restricted. In this respect the
property is disadvantaged when compared to properties in the vicinity and similar zones.
2. With the conditions of approval set forth below, the variance will: a) not
constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with limitations on other properties in
the vicinity and similar zone; b) ensure that the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance
is achieved with regard to location, site design, appearance, and landscaping, etc; and c)
.1
t
CASE NO. VE•78-88 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 3
protect the environment, public interest and general welfare. The traveling public, while
looking for this restaurant location among the other commercial uses in the area will be
better served by having a distinctive sign design, located moderately close to the right-of-
way. The sign has already been approved to a location of nine (9) feet from the property
line and the applicant's sign would be approximately the same if not slightly closer (8'6").
The size of the sign is moderately larger (36%) than the sign area already allowed by
previous variances (VE-39-73 and VE-11-77)
3. There are special circumstances applicable to the property which when combined
with the standards of the Zoning Ordinance, create practical difficulties for the use of the
property andlor deprive the property of rights and privileges common to other properties
in the vicinity and similar zone classifications. The fact that the existing sign for the
restaurant is an older style, which does not allow a very' distinct identification from other
similar commercial signs in the viciniry, creates special circumstances which must be
overcome as long as other properties are not deprived of rights. Due to the extensive amount
of commercial zoning in the area, the property is competing with the commercial signs in
the area for a use which has been allowed in the Local Business Zone and has remained a
restaurant use for the last fifteen (15) years.
4. Granting the variance will be neither materially detrimental to the public
welfare nor injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and zone.
5. Strict application of the zoning standards does create an unreasonable burden in
light of the purpose to be served by the standards. It is reasonable to expect that a
restaurant should have a distinctive sign; one which is similarly located to other
(oommercial ioning) signs located on this stretch of Sprague Avenue.
6. A broader, public need or interest will be served by granting verses denying the
variance. Although this variance can be described as furthering the particular business
interests of the applicant, it can also be argued that this sign will allow the traveling public
to more easily find this location, thus minimizing the chances for traffic congestion
resulting from cars slowly cruising this area of Sprague Avenue while looking for this
restaurant location.
7. Various performance standards and criteria are additionally needed to make the
use compatible with other permitted activities in the same vicinity and zone and to ensure
against imposing excessive demands upon public utilities and these shall be addressed as
conditions of approval.
8. The proposal will neither be detrimental to the Comprehensive Plan nor the
surrounding properties.
9. The Zoning Adjustor may require such conditions of approval as necessary and
appropriate to make the project most compatible with the public interest and general
welfare.
10. The sign will not jeopardize the nearby powerline location to the south.
11. The applicant is served notice that the County may acquire up to ten (10) feet of
additional right-of-way, including a portion of this sign.
12. Any finding hereinbefore stated which may be deemed a conclusion herein is
adopted as such.
DECISION
From the foregoing Findings and Conclusions, the Zoning Adjustor APPROVES the
proposal. The sign is approved to within eight feet six inches (8'6") of the front property
line, for ninety (90) square feet per side, including the pole cover on the lower portion of
the sign, and for the eight hundred (800) milliamperes illumination level. The following
