1995, 12-28 CUP-22-95 Findings of Fact, Conclusion and DecisionZONING ADJUSTOR SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON IN THE MATTER OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A HOME INDUSTRY [dance studio in detached building] APPLICANT: CHARLOTTE STEVENSON FILE: CUE -22-95 COMPANION FILE: CV -167-95 FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS, AND DECISION APPLICATION DESCRIPTION: The applicant proposes to establish a dance studio in an existing detached structure on a lot. The lot also contains the applicant's residence. Authority to consider such a request exists pursuant to section 14.404.100 of the Zoning Code of Spokane County and Spokane County Board of County Commissioners resolution No. 89 0708, as may be amended. PROJECT LOCATION: Generally located Avenue, approximately 600 feet west of Eyarl 25N, Range 44 EWM, Spokane County„ sl Parcel No.: 45221.0101 OPPONENTS OF RECORD: Farrel W. Summer Pat Paullin ine Valley, south of and adjacent 4th id, in the NE b-ef-Secti_on 22, Towns 13618 East 4th Avenue. John V. Paullin Roger E. Grenz PUBLIC HEARING AND DECISION: After consideration of all available information on file, one or more site visits, exhibits submitted and testimony received during the course of the public hearing held on October 25, 1995, the Zoning Adjustor rendered a written decision on December 28, 1995 to APPROVE an approximately three (3) -month temporary conditional use permit, pending review and approval of a detailed, professionally prepared parking and loop driveway plan. At the end of three months, the temporary conditional use permit will be either voided and no permit will exist or a renewal conditional use permit will be recognized by letter, with a condition that certain improvements be installed within the next six months, possibly leading to a renewal and optional semipermanent status. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS 1. Testimony was taken under oath. 2. The proposal is described above and detailed in documents contained in the file; more particularly: a. The applicant, Charlotte Stevenson, owns the property and occupies the residence located on the site. Ms. Stevenson is minimally engaged in the business; but, her activities include making some appointments and answering some telephone calls regarding the dance studio. b. John Tiffany, grandson of Ms. Stevenson and son of the proprietress of the dance studio business (who lives off site), lives at the subject property and does the bookkeeping, preparation of some promotional literature, and promotional aspects of the business. CASE NO. CUE -22-95 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 2 c. Prior to the construction of the detached accessory building now containing the dance studio business, the dance studio was operated within the dwelling unit. d. The parcel of property is unique in that it includes the (west) one-half right -of -right for Mamer Road, which was vacated some years ago. In June, July and August, 1995, the applicant caused a 30 -foot by 48 -foot steel -sided building to be erected on the easterly portion of the parcel (the former Mamer Road right-of-way), approximately 10 feet from the east property line and 10 feet from the rear property line. The building is approximately 15 feet tall. The building was clearly designed for studio purposes, insofar as it does not have a garage door in it, which would be typical for this size of building. e. The dance studio operation was carried on as an unauthorized use until a complaint was filed and an investigation brought to light that the activity was illegal unless a conditional use permit for home industry was obtained. The applicant applied for a conditional use permit, as directed by zoning enforcement. f. The existing house, breezeway and garage do not interfere with the potential for parking cars north of the detached building and east of the existing attached garage. However, a concrete slab next to the attached garage interferes with a smooth flow of parking space, ingress, egress and turning around. The property layout also allows up to two parking spaces for employees, or overflow client parking, to be located immediately west of the accessory building and slightly behind and southeast of the existing garage. Additional one or two parking spaces exist on the existing driveway. g. The environmental checklist provided by the applicant, as well as testimony provided by John Tiffany in the hearing, indicates the dance studio operation is being/will be confined to Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The operation was identified in the public hearing as operating from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays and approximately 5:45 to 8:00 p.m. on Wednesdays. h. The building, which was constructed as a storage building, may not meet the criteria for an assembly or occupancy building. Prior to continued lawful use of this building for public assembly (the dance studio operation), the building may need to be upgraded to a class of building other than the class to which it was originally approved and constructed. i. The applicant proposed no signs to indicate the presence of a dance studio at the property. Having proposed none does not necessary mean that it would not be better if there were a small sign. Therefore, a modest sign will be allowed with a maximum size specified below. 3. The adopted Spokane County Comprehensive Plan designates the area of the proposal as Urban. The proposal is generally consistent with the Urban category of the Comprehensive Plan. The detailed definition of the Urban category clearly describes a mixture of neighborhood business combined with single-family residential uses. Objective 1. Li and Decision Guideline 1. 1.7 clearly embrace the concept of home occupations, as long as existing residential amenities, potential traffic congestion and mitigation of potentially negative impacts are addressed. Fourth Avenue, upon which the property fronts, is a collector arterial. As an east -west collector arterial, linking north -south McDonald and Evergreen Roads, and therefore providing indirect access to Sprague Avenue and any future south Valley arterial, this property will be experiencing CASE NO. CUE -22-95 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 3 increasingly larger amounts of traffic on 4th Avenue. A low -impact business is not inappropriate on such an arterial. 4. The site is zoned Urban Residential -3.5, which allows the proposed use upon approval of this application. Other uses permitted outright in the zone are: a community hall, club or lodge; community recreation facility; community swimming pool; community transit center; daycare center; family daycare home; golf course; hospital; library; mini -daycare center; nursery school; park-and-ride facility; public park (including caretaker's residence); post office; public utility local distribution facility; public utility transportation facility; and kindergarten, elementary, middle and junior high school. The proposal will have comparatively less or equal impact than some uses allowed outright in the zone. 5. Typically, uses listed as a conditional use are assumed as permitted in the underlying zone, subject to the listed standards and any other conditions needed to assure compatibility in the given instance. But, pursuant to 14.404.101, the requested conditional use permit may be denied if the Hearing Body cannot find that the requested use will be compatible with other permitted uses. Section 14.616.240.4 lists certain standards to achieve compatibility, some of which the Hearing Body may exercise nominal discretion over in order to achieve the overall intent of compatibility with surrounding properties. Clearly, 14.404.102 allows the Hearing Body to impose any and all manner of additional conditions and requirements in an effort to achieve maximum compatibility. In the instant situation, several circumstances need to be noted. The property to the east has mature and dense trees located on its western property line, thus effectively screening, on the adjacent property owner's land, the activity of the dance center and its traffic circulation and parking. In the public hearing, there were no complaints of visual or audible impacts from adjacent property owners. There were complaints of cars parking in the street; of cars making U-turns; of children jay -walking across the street in the middle of the block (on a collector arterial); and of cars backing into the street, thus threatening oncoming vehicular traffic as well as pedestrian traffic. There was also some complaint regarding large numbers of cars associated with events or activities which involved larger -than -average or normal numbers of student clients (likely recitals or class picture taking). In order to maintain neighborhood appearance and character (Zoning Code 14.616.240.4.a), several conditions of approval may be necessary to mitigate actual problems at the site associated with conducting the dance studio. 6. The following is true with regard to the proposal. a. The Zoning Code, in Section 14.802.040.16, specifies one parking space per 100 gross square feet of building. This would result in 15 parking stalls required at the property. However, testimony in the hearing was that much of the client business is "drop-off' business after the younger students mature beyond the fairly young age. b. Based on the above, and other testimony during the hearing, the Zoning Adjustor believes that eight on-site parking stalls for clients and two parking stalls for employees (in addition to that required for the residence) would more than likely accommodate the business. If this became a condition of approval and it were nonetheless determined, through evaluations and zoning complaints to not be sufficient, the number of parking stalls could be administratively increased or the size of the classes could be limited. C. There also is apparently a problem with clients not wishing to park their cars in the on-site parking lot and insisting on parking on the street. Although the applicant does not CASE NO. CUE -22-95 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 4 have absolute control over people who would choose to park on the street and not in a provided on-site parking lot, the applicant needs to be aware that continued and flagrant abuse of on -street parking when there is off-street parking available may result in a hearing for the purpose of rescinding or revoking the conditional use permit. When safety is at issue, the County will not be part of authorizing a business which does not make every effort possible to provide off-street parking and minimize instances in which children are running back and forth across a collector arterial. d. The Zoning Adjustor notes that the connection of existing family members residing at the property to the business is a tenuous connection at best. Testimony indicated that the instructors and actual owner of the dance studio business do not reside on the property. Failure of at least one of the dwellings' residents to be engaged in the business will automatically void the permit. Proof of involvement may be requested. e. The detached structure located on the property is a lawfully located building. The only issue before the Zoning Adjustor is the use which is occurring within the building. f. As required by the Zoning Adjustor, the applicant submitted a site plan showing parking and a circular driveway within the prescribed date of November 8, after the public hearing had otherwise closed and ceased public input. The purpose of this additional site plan was to try to clarify and lay out a plan, to be later executed, to provide for on-site parking and a loop driveway, both aimed at keeping automobiles from backing into 4th Avenue and to provide a convenient drop-off location for students, as opposed to dropping students off in the street and having them be exposed to traffic on this collector arterial. A review of this plan by the Zoning Adjustor determines that providing a loop driveway, eight client parking spaces and up to two staff spaces, in addition to the parking for the residence, is quite likely possible. However, the applicant's plan is lacking in quality sufficient to provide guidance for someone installing these improvements. The applicant, aided by John Tiffany, while making a good "citizen effort" to provide a technically accurate, competent document, really needs to solicit involvement of one or more professionals. A civil engineer with vehicle parking layout and travelway design skills is suggested. A major flaw of the document is a misunderstanding of where the property line is in the front yard. The Zoning Adjustor's estimate is that the front property line is probably only 39 feet from the face of the residence (as opposed to the 50 feet suggested in the Tiffany drawing). A five-foot future acquisition area would place the front property line at approximately 34 feet from the front of the residence. The circular driveway shown on the applicant's drawing does not reflect this kind of existing and probable future property line. The applicant's drawing also has succeeded in making a large ingress -egress area at the existing driveway, including nearly the entire area east of the existing driveway. This is neither good practice nor safe. The loop driveway shown by the applicant also appears to cause the removal of the attractive and mature blue spruce located in the west part of the front yard, an amenity which adds to the residential appearance and character of the property. Its removal should be avoided. Part of the reason for issuing a temporary conditional use permit is for this plan, or some version thereof, to be prepared professionally with accurate and surveyed dimensions for the purposes of providing adequate guidance to a contractor to lay out a parking lot, locate a loop driveway, save the existing blue spruce and provide an CASE NO. CUE -22-95 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 5 ingress -egress point for both the parking lot and the easterly end of the loop driveway (as well as access to the personal garage) which will concentrate an egress -ingress point at one easterly curb cut. The concrete slab also must be removed in order to provide adequate circulation space for the automobiles to be able to back up and maneuver. Finally, the parking stalls need to have some control device installed to keep the cars from ramming into the existing chain link fence, which fence more than likely belongs to the property owner to the east and needs to be protected from abuse. 7. Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act, the environmental checklist and other data have been reviewed and the project has been found to not have any probable significant adverse impacts to the physical environment. A Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued on September 20, 1995 and sent to five agencies. The agencies reviewing the checklist neither indicated that a more detailed environmental review should be provided nor commented that the DNS should be reconsidered. Comments regarding the environmental matters were made at the public hearing. There was not sufficient evidence presented pursuant to WAC 197-11-340(3)(a) to withdraw the DNS. 8. The home industry conditional use permit is unique in that it is nonspecific with regard to a use or function. Unlike most conditional use permits, it leaves an enormous amount of discretion to the hearing body with respect to the "residential appearance and character" requirement of § 14.616.240.4.a of the Zoning Code. The conditional use permit, as a result of the residential appearance and character requirement, is essentially a performance standard concept in which, if the standards listed in the Zoning Code are met, various conditions of approval applied as needed to mitigate most adverse impacts and a finding is made that the resulting proposed activity would be compatible with uses permitted outright in the location and zone, home industry must be approved. Without a doubt all of the standards, with the possible exception of 14.616.240.4.a are met or can be met by the proposal. Subsection "a" is not a measurable, quantitative standard and involves a considerable judgment as to whether it is achieved by a given proposal. Numerous conditions of approval will be specified, all designed to mitigate, to the maximum extent possible, the off-site impacts of this proposal; all based on the premise that the project can, in the final analysis, retain "residential appearance and character" and that the use is not so deleterious to the area that it fails the test of "will be compatible with other permitted uses in the zone involved." (Zoning Code: Section 14.404.101) 9. Any listed conditional use permit, such as the one under consideration, carries with it a legislative presumption of validity. That is, the use is acceptable; but, the only issue is how to make the use as compatible as possible with uses permitted outright in the zone and with nearby uses. (Zoning Code: §14.404.101.1) A conditional use permit need not necessarily be fully compatible with uses which happen to be in the immediate vicinity (residential, in this case); but, in this case the test of compatibility with residential uses is a primary concern so that the residences in the area are not adversely affected by noise, light, traffic congestion and children running across the street, down the street and across front yards. All manner of conditions of approval and other requirements are available to any hearing body, under the authority of Section 14.404.102 of the Zoning Code. 10. The County Arterial Road Plan identifies 4th Avenue as a 70 -foot collector arterial. The existing right-of-way width of 50 feet is not consistent with that specified in the Plan. In order to implement the Arterial Road Plan, it is recommended that a strip of property 5 feet in width along the 4th Avenue frontage be set aside in reserve. This property may be acquired by Spokane County at the time arterial improvements are made to 4th Avenue. CASE NO. CUE -22-95 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 6 11. Minimally, the proposal must meet, be capable of meeting and/or being conditioned to meet, the standards of § 14.616.240.4 of the Zoning Code, the section pertaining to a conditional use permit for a home industry in the UR -3.5 zone. This section contains subparagraphs "a" through "i." The standards "b" through "i" are very objective and measurable. The applicant either meets these standards and/or is easily capable of meeting them. However, subsection "a" is a subjective standard. Discretionary judgment is placed by the Zoning Code with the Hearing Body to make this judgment. In an effort to clarify the purpose and intent of the home industry comment and to assist in determining whether " ... property ... retain(s) its residential character;" the definitions of key words from Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, 10th Edition, are: Residential: Of or appropriate for residences. Residence: A place in which one lives. Appearance: Outward aspect. Character: A distinct feature or aspect. 12. In order to maintain this residential appearance and character, as defined by Webster's Dictionary, the project must minimize traffic congestion; keep parked or waiting automobiles off the road to the maximum extent possible; prohibit cars from backing onto the arterial; provide room for cars to turn around on the property, once having driven into the parking lot; and provide a loop driveway for parents to drop children off without letting them out on the street. 13. Although the site plan presented by the applicant (John Tiffany) is not as polished as it needs to be to ensure an adequate solution to the parking and off-street circulation, it nonetheless is indicative that the parking and circulation issue can be resolved on the site, mitigating most of the existing or potential problems. 14. This conditional use permit may be denied only where it can be shown that the requested use cannot be compatible with other permitted uses in the zone. An examination of the many uses allowed in the UR -3.5 zone clearly indicates that this use is far less deleterious than many uses allowed outright in the zone with respect to the off-site impacts it will create. It does not achieve a standard upon which denial becomes necessary. 15. Adequate conditions and restrictions have been described above which will be required of the project. Issuing a temporary conditional use permit for a six-month period of time in order to allow the adequate design of parking and circulation is a needed mitigating measure. Allowing an additional six months for improvement to be financed and constructed, weather permitting, will then allow this to be an acceptable conditional use permit. 16. Contrary to what was stated in the hearing by the Zoning Adjustor, it will not be practically possible to dictate that every client use the off-street parking provided on the property. In some rare instances, of course, there will be more clients attempting to park than there will be parking spaces. If this happens on a routine basis, the Division of Building and Planning will administratively require additional parking to be created or limit the size of the dance classes. If someone chooses to legally park on the street, it is not possible to legally force them to park on the property. On the other hand, if there is a substantial, continued abuse of on -street parking, creating traffic and health hazards, specifically with regard to the clients or to the traveling public in general, such may be a reason to hold a public hearing for the purpose of considering the suspension or revocation of the permit. The applicant can and must assume a major role of getting her clients to park on site or get rid of such clients. CASE NO. CUE -22-95 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 7 17. The proper legal requirements for advertising the hearing before the Zoning Adjustor of Spokane County have been met. 18. 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. 19. 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. 20. The proposal will not be detrimental to surrounding properties, once an adequate parking and circulation design is approved and built. 21. The proposal does not impose excessive demands on public utilities. 22. The proposal, as conditioned, is compatible with uses permitted outright in the zone. DECISION From the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions, the Zoning Adjustor APPROVES the proposal as a temporary conditional use permit for a home industry through March 31, 1996. An approximately additional six-month period of time is established for the construction of the parking lot and circulation improvements before this permit may be administratively renewable or be designated as a permanent permit. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL I. GENERAL 1. The following conditions shall apply to the applicant, owner and successors in interest but shall not run with the land. The business at the property may only be carried on by a blood relative of the present applicant/owner, Charlotte Stevenson. The Division of Building and Planning may from time to time review the relationship between the persons engaged in the business and the residence existing on the site, including taking into account ownership of the parcel. Any decision the Division of Building and Planning makes with regard to these matters is appealable to the appropriate appeal body. 2. Failure to comply with any of the conditions of approval contained in this decision, except as may be relieved by the Zoning Adjustor, shall constitute a violation of the Zoning Code for Spokane County and be subject to such enforcement as is appropriate. 3. The Zoning Adjustor may administratively make minor adjustments to site plans or the conditions of approval as may be judged by the Zoning Adjustor to be within the context of the original decision. CASE NO. CUE -22-95 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 8 II. DIVISION OF BUILDING & PLANNING 1. The applicant shall contact the Building Section of the Division of Building and Planning at the earliest possible stage of design/development in order to be informed of code requirements administered/enforced as authorized by the State Building Code Act. Design/development concerns include: FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS ROADS; FIRE HYDRANT/FLOW; APPROVED WATER SYSTEMS; BUILDING ACCESSIBILITY; CONSTRUCTION TYPE; OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION; EXITING; EXTERIOR WALL PROTECTION; AND ENERGY CODE REGULATIONS. 2. The applicant shall bring the accessory building into compliance with the appropriate standards for assembly and the operation of such a business within one (1) year of the resolution of this application or coincident with the installation of parking and circulation improvements, whichever comes sooner. 3. The proposal shall comply with all applicable standards of section 14.616.240.4 of the Zoning Code of Spokane County unless deviations, variances or exceptions have been lawfully granted. 4. The applicant shall comply with the following. a. By February 1, 1996, the applicant shall cause a permanent, weatherproof sign to be placed on the outside door of the dance studio which shall read generally as follows. This message shall also be given in writing to new and all renewal clients. "NOTICE TO CLIENTS OF (NAME OF STUDIO): ZONING REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT CLIENTS USE THE OFF-STREET PARKING WE HAVE PROVIDED ON THIS PROPERTY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE. YOUR FAILURE TO COOPERATE BY PARKING ON THIS PROPERTY MAY JEOPARDIZE OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE DANCE STUDIO SERVICES ON THIS PROPERTY." Evidence of compliance shall be provided to the Division of Building and Planning. b. On or before March 31, 1996, the applicant shall provide the Planning Section of the Division of Building and Planning with a site plan of the front yard north of the existing residence, breezeway, garage and studio building. The site plan shall indicate the retention of the spruce tree on the west end of the front yard and shall include a loop driveway, eight (8) client parking stalls and two (2) employee parking stalls. It shall indicate the concrete slab's removal and shall indicate appropriate signage to direct drop-off traffic into the more westerly driveway entrance and allow for its exit from the more easterly driveway entrance. The more easterly ingress -and -egress point shall provide an exit for loop traffic and an entrance -exit point for the personal driveway of the applicant, the two (2) parking stalls for employees and the eight (8) parking stalls for clients. It shall also provide fora safe, no -vehicle zone eight (8) feet in front of the studio building, as a safeguard for pedestrians entering and leaving the building. The parking plan shall also show curb stops adequate to keep automobiles from damaging the east property line fence. The parking stalls and backup/turnaround areas shall be generally consistent with standards of Chapter 14.802 of the Zoning Code or some other, similarly acceptable standards. The Planning Section of CASE NO. CUE -22-95 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 9 the Division of Building and Planning, in consultation with the Division of Engineering and Roads, will be the judge of adequacy of this plan. The lot shall be indicated as graveled and shall not be indicated as being paved. The loop driveway may be paved or graveled, at the applicant's option. Landscaping shall be included in the front yard area around the easterly parking lot ingress and egress point in order to clearly define it as an entrance and exit location. The design of the loop driveway shall be respectful of the true property line with respect to the curb and a five (5) -foot -wide reserve future acquisition area, to the extent that the loop driveway shall be able to function entirely if property acquisition occurs up to a point approximately thirty-four (34) feet from the front of the house; that is, the loop driveway needs to be completely functional in the area of thirty-four (34) feet north of the house. This standard may deviate if the property line is shown to be other than about thirty-nine (39) feet from the house. The above drawing shall be prepared by a civil engineer licensed in the state of Washington, using standard design features and practices for parking lots and vehicular circulation areas. The drawing needs to be accurately engineered and drawn to scale. A landscaping plan shall be prepared as a separate drawing or included on the engineered plan. These professionals are encouraged to consult with the undersigned. 5. The improvements described above, upon approval by the Division of Building and Planning, shall be constructed and in place within six (6) months after written approval of the design by the Division of Building and Planning. 6. Failure to submit a professionally engineered design by March 31, 1996, to have it approved by June 1, 1996 and have it constructed by December 1, 1996 shall automatically void this permit. These dates may be extended, depending upon any appeals filed and subsequently heard and any other approved extenuating circumstance. 7. If compliance is achieved in the process established above and this permit is to become a full conditional use permit, as opposed to a temporary use permit, a letter of such certification will indicate the achievement of full c6nditional use permit status. That letter will be mailed to opponents of record in the Zoning Adjustor and/or Board of Adjustment hearings and is appealable as an administrative decision under the provisions of the Zoning Code. 8. An expiration date for the conditional use permit will be established in the letter described in Conditional of Approval H.7 above. Renewal may occur under the following terms. a. Renewal may be on a time frame of whole -number years, to a maximum of three (3) years at a time. b. Approximately thirty (30) days before an expiration date, the applicant shall request renewal and pay any appropriate, established fees. The Division of Building and Planning will attempt to send a notice approximately sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date. C. Periodic regraveling of parking and vehicle travel areas may be required. 9. The applicant shall seek and receive a certificate of occupancy or change of use permit on or before June 1, 1995. CASE NO. CUE -22-95 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 10 10. The applicant may continue to conduct dance studio business while complying with the above. 11. At any time, the Division may require more parking or limit the number of client students. 12. The days of the week and hours of operation shall be as set forth in Finding of Fact and Conclusion 2.g. 13. If the Division of Building & Planning believes there are extenuating circumstances associated with the renewal of the permit, it may cause there to be a public hearing and reconsideration of the permit; the notification expense shall be that of the county if such reconsideration takes place. 14. The Division of Building & Planning shall prepare and record with the Spokane County Auditor a Title Notice noting that the property in question is subject to a variety of special conditions imposed as a result of approval of a land use action. This Title Notice shall serve as public notice of the conditions of approval affecting the property in question. The Title Notice should be recorded within the same time frame as allowed for an appeal and shall only be released, in full or in part, by the Division of Building & Planning. The Title Notice shall generally provide as follows. The parcel of property legally described as is the subject of a land use action by a Spokane County Hearing Body or Administrative Official on , imposing a variety of special development conditions. File No. is available for inspection and copying in the Spokane County Division of Building & Planning. 15. The Spokane County Division of Building and Planning shall prepare and record with the County Auditor a Title Notice specifying a future land acquisition area for road right-of-way and utilities. The reserved future acquisition area Title Notice shall be released, in full or in part, by the Division of Building and Planning. The notice should be recorded within the same time frame as an appeal and shall provide the following. a. At least five (5) feet of reserved future acquisition area for road right-of-way and utilities, in addition to the existing and/or newly dedicated right-of-way along 4th Avenue. NOTE: The County Engineer has required zero (0) feet of new dedication. b. Future building and other setbacks required by the Spokane County Zoning Code shall be measured from the reserved future acquisition area. c. No required landscaping, parking, '208' areas, drainfield or allowed signs should be located within the future acquisition area for road right-of-way and utilities. If any of the above improvements are made within this area, they shall be relocated at the applicant's expense when roadway improvements are made. d. The future acquisition area, until acquired, shall be private property and may be used as allowed in the zone, except that any improvements (such as landscaping, parking, surface drainage, drainfield, signs or others) shall be considered interim uses.

I have reviewed the Environmental Checklist and would like to add the following comments under Item A. 10: 1. Building permit is required, to change the use of the building from a garage to a dance studio.

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. Instructions for Applicants: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately :,,d cor,fu'.ly, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write 'do not know' or 'does not apply.' Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do thein over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional infonnation reasonably related to determining If there may be significant adverse impact. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered 'does not apply'. IN ADDITION, caaplete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS(Part D). For nonproject actions, the references in the checklist to the words 'project,' 'applicant,' and 'property or site' should be read as 'proposal,' 'proposer,' and 'affected geographic area,' respectively.
