Urban (R-3)to Neighborhood Commercial (NC)
Chair Rasmussen Opened the public hearing a1 6:46 p.m.for CPA-2018-0004
Planner Marty Palaniuk presented CPA-20111-0004, explaining this is a privately initiated
amendment to change the land use designation from Single Family Residential and R-3 zoning to
Neighborhood Commercial. The Neighborhood Commercial designation is to provide
neighborhood scale commercial development. such as offices and retail that serve a neighborhood.
This site is on the southeast corner of University Road and 7'11 Avenue- University is an arterial
street surrounded by Single Family Residential uses. The parcel adjacent to the proposed site was
changed in 2016 during the legislative Comprehensive Plan update to Neighborhood CommerciaL
If the amendment is approved it would also be designated as Neighborhood Commercial. During
the legislative update,the City evaluated intersections along sonic of the arterials south of Sprague,
and various parcels were re-designated in those neighborhoods as Neighborhood Commercial.
Staff received comments from the City's Senior. Traffic Engineer who evaluated the intersections
at 81 Avenue and University Road as well as 4°' Avenue and University Road and he stated if
intense development occurred, it would meet the level of service requirements. Staff received
public comments regarding traffic in and out.of the site as well as traffic along 7t''and 8'h Avenues.-
This property is part otaplat from 1954 and some of the comments received have mentioned them
were some covenants that could apply to the plat.
Mr. Lamb explained the City Attorney's office receival a letter regarding the covenants. The
covenants would preclude business, commerce and industrial uses from operating on the site.
I lowever, with regard to restricted covenants, those are privately enforceable under Washington
law. The Supreme Court has agreed that cities do not have authority to enforce private covenants.
Citizens could seek a private action to preclude commercial, industrial or ally other development.
We do allow single family residential under the neighborhood commercial so there is not a conflict.
Commissioner Walton Neighborhood Commercial zones are in Spokane \Talley. Mr. Palaniuk
responded that staff evaluated the area of the City south of Sprague and at most of the arterial
intersections of li h, 166, 32°d Avenues, University, Evergreen and Sullivan Roads and designated
02-22-2018 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of S
those as Neighborhood Commercial. This was done during the legislative update. Commissioner
Johnson asked for some examples of a commercial business that would be allowed in the
Neighborhood Commercial zone. Mr. Palaniuk responded some of the things the Permitted Use
Matrix allows include retail, gas stations, medical office, anti kennels. The intent is to provide
neighborhood scale commercial uses to serve the neighborhood, Commissioner Rasmussen asked
how the City mitigates traffic. problems. Mr. Palaniuk replied that any time development occurs;
the City evaluates the traffic impact and may require a traffic impact analysis to identify
improvements or restrictions to the proposed development.

Ray Siebert, 10719 E. 8th Avenue: Mr, Siebert said that he is against changing the land east of
University on lar'Avenue from Single Family Residential to Neighborhood Commercial. We have
a protective covenant on the old Orchard Subdivision, which has been in effect since 1954. We
want to keep the covenant and keep this being a nice place to raise a family. The City illegally
changed the property east of University on gu' Avenue to commercial when there was a protective
covenant_ Mr. Siebert stated the neighborhood had hired a lawyer to protect them if this change
goes into effect.
.lane Siebert, 10719 E 8°' Avenue: Ms. Siebert said she is against the land change at 7u`Avenue
and University Road. She said the property has a covenant and the municipal code states the City
is supposed to follow them. She said she received a letter from the City Attorney stating the City
has no authority under the Washington law to enforce or validate restricted covenants, By not
enforcing the covenant, she said the City is definitely invalidating them. The covenant is binding
unless by the majority of the residence owners ague to change them. There was a traffic analysis
from the Senior. Traffic Engineer,which showed that there would he an additional 208 trips a day
with this change. "I"his much traffic would affect their neighborhood, property values will go down
and it will increase crime. Ms, Seibert stated she does not feel the neighborhood was informed
well enough when the change to the parcel at Sth Avenue and University Road occurred in 2016,
City Attorney Cary Driskell suggested changing the time 1 im its from three minutes to one and one
half minutes in order accommodate everyone in the room who wished to testify this evening. The
Commissioners agreed to this change,
Mike Erma', 10806 F 8th Avenue: Mr, firmer shared his concern about crime, traffic and more
people; he said the covenant was important in the 1950's so please leave it alone.
Mark Conrad, 10804 E 7th Avenue: Mr. Conrad shared he is opposed to change because the
property values will decrease anti traffic will increase; it does not fit the form or area..

more traffic.
William Braid, 11216 F 7t Avenue: Mr. Braid said he is concerned for the children in the area

Shcrce Tucker, 11372.E 7th Ave. Ms. Tucker said she is concerned with traffic, crime and safety
of children,
Heather Bryant, Schmautt family representative: Ms. Bryant shared in 2016 the corner of 8th
and University, was changed to Neighborhood Commercial. Currently the family has no plans to
develop the property and the site would stay the same. There is a blind spot at 8`'°Avenue and
University Road and by expanding onto 7th, it would eliminate the blind spot. If rezoned the
covenant would take precedence.
Al Merkel, 3927 S Sunderland Drive: Mr. Merkel shared he is opposed to this amendment
because the covenants arc in place. He said he knows the amendment is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, but when you see neighbors like this coining out, the City should take note
and let the neighbors resolve these issues in a non-adversarial way.

d. CPA-2018-0003 A Privately Initiated Amendment request to change the Comprehensive
Plan Land Use Designation from Single Family Residential (SFR)to Corridor Mixed Use
(CMU) and to change the Zoning District from Single Family Residential Suburban (R-
2) to Corridor Mixed Use(CMU)
Chair Rasmussen Opened the public hearing,for CPA-2018-0003 at 7:22 pm,
Mr. Palaniuk explained CPA-2018-0003 is a privately initiated amendment to change the parcel
from Single Family Residential and R-2 zoning to Corridor Mixed Use which allows commercial,
light manufacturing, retail and office uses. This site is in the Ponderosa neighborhood along
Dishman-Mica, south of the railroad tracks, along Bowdish and Sands Roads. The SETA
determination was appealed. 'l'he majority of this site is in the 100-year floodplain. There was a
subdivision in 2010 and the entirety of this lot was designated as an easement for stormwater
treatment. A Conditional Letter of Map Revision was approved by FEMA to raise the level of lots
one through six of the short plat and remove them from the floodplain.Chester Creek runs north of
the site in a channel i.rtiich is south of the railroad tracks. he stream is a'l'ype F, which means fish
could be in the stream. It requires buffering if development should occur.This site also has alluvium
soils, which are soils deposited from water action made of granulated silt and they do not drain
well_ The Comprehensive Land Use designation is Single Family Residential with a designated
density of one unit per acre up to six units per acres. The area is single family. Corridor Mix Use
allows commercial uses along transit corridors. Corridor Mixed Use is located along Sprague and
Argonne, Mullen, Evergreen, Sullivan and Lishman-Mica. The R-2 zone height limit is 35 feet.
Corridor Mixed Use has an unlimited height limit but transitional regulations would be applied to
any development and would serve to limit the height adjacent to residential uses. The site would
have a limit in height since it is next to residential uses. Staff received comments from Dept. of
Fish and Wildlife who commented they were concerned about the Type F stream and said it would
require buffering if development occurs.Staff received comments from the public regarding traffic,
access in and out of site,access for fire safety,that the development does not tit,and concerns about
the floodplain,and crowding in schools.
Commissioner Johnson asked if there was a minimum setback for access onto Bowdish and how
far off the intersection would the access have to be toward the south, Senior Traffic Engineer, Ray
Wright explained at that location there would need to be a minimum of 60 feet of separation from
the intersection. Currently staff is looking at the infrastructure to sec if the streets can accommodate
the ,growth,
02-22-201 S Planning Commission Minulcs Page 6 e f 8
Commissioner Kelley said there were concerns about escaping a forest fire in that area and traffic
issues. Mr. Wright stated he did not believe a second access is required. With the rezoning, there
would be an additional 800 trips over a 24-hour period;and peak traffic would be 10%ofthat, This
does not address the fire but it would handle that volume easily.
Chair Rasmussen asked about a couple of parcels which appeared to be land locked and how would
rezoning effect those Mr. Palaniuk replied they are City owned parcels and are not developed, Ms.
Barlow stated those properties are partly encumbered for drainage purposes by the City. Chair
Rasmussen asked if they are zoned R-2 and Ms. Barlow confirmed they were. Commissioner
Johnson asked does that extend all the way to University, Mr_ Lamb replied that a change in zoning
would not change access because they are privately owned and would remain so. If there were any
access issues, those would be addressed at the time of development. Commissioner Johnson said
the background information stated there were 24 acres available for commercial mixed use. He
asked if this was before the nearby IGA planned project. Mr. Palaniuk responded this reference
does include the ICA project.
Chair Rasmussen invited public comment,
Mr. Todd Whipple, Whipple Consulting Engineers representing the applicant: Mr. Whipple
explained his firm looked at the zoning code and get out the Comprehensive Plan and they try to
be consistent with the existing land use and future land use and what is adjacent to the property.
The site has a railroad track and Chester Creek so from a development perspective they assume that
since Corridor Mixed Use is adjacent to the property there is no reason to not to change the land
use. As the applicant, he requested the Commission to leave the hearing open for additional
testimony after the SEPA appeal hearing and before the Commission issues its findings.
