RESIDENTIAL-3 . 5 (UR-3 . 5) AND ) DECISIO N
URBAN RESIDENTIAL-22 (UR-22) TO )
UR-22 WITH SEWER BONUS DENSITY )
APPLICANT: JOHN N. PARAS
Mr. Chairman:
This evening is the date which the Board of County
Commissioners has set to render its decision on ZE-8-92, a rezone
request from UR-3 .5 and UR-22 to UR-22 with sewer bonus density.
The applicant is John Paras.
The proposal would allow development of 24 multi-family
residential units on a 42, 006 square foot lot, located generally at
the northeast corner of Valleyway Avenue and McDonald Road, for a
density of 24 . 7 units per acre. The file indicates that the
Spokane County Hearing Examiner Committee previously denied the
applicant' s request for sewer bonus density of 2 .7 units per acre
over and above the 22 units per acre allowed by the UR-22 zone.
The Hearing Examiner Committee' s denial of the bonus density
request was appealed to the Board of County Commissioners on behalf
of Mr. Paras.
After considering the file and all public testimony submitted
at the public hearing held on May 26, 1992, I hereby move that the
appeal filed on behalf of John Paras, and his request for sewer
bonus density of 2 .7 units per acre to allow the proposed
development of 24 multi-family residential units on a 42, 006 site
at the northeast corner of Valleyway and McDonald be approved.
I observe that the applicant offered ample testimony at the
hearing on the justification for bonus density pursuant to chapter
14 . 820 of the Spokane County Zoning Code, and that no testimony was
submitted in opposition to the appeal . I further find that several
findings (i.e. 5, 6, 11, 12 and 14) made by the Hearing Examiner
Committee in its written decision actually support the request for
sewer bonus density. While the applicant could request up to an
additional 5 units per acre for the proposal, the rezone request is
limited to the 2 . 7 units needed to make the project viable, in the
applicant' s view. The proposal is compatible with surrounding land
uses, is consistent with the intent and purpose of bonus density
for sewer hookup, and will not otherwise harm the public health,
safety and welfare.
