ii. Public Hearing — CTA-2018-0001 — A proposed amendment to Spokane Valley Municipal
Code (SVMC) 19.65.020 Agriculture and Animal keeping
Ms.Harnois presented CTA-2018-0001 and shared some historical background. The proposal will
change the minimum square footage required to have animals in SVMC 19.65.020(A)(1)(a) from
one acre to 40,000 square feet. This is the same amount of minimum square footage required prior
to the 2016 Comprehensive Plan and development regulations update. The proposal will return the
minimum square footage to the amount before the update. Ms. Harnois also outlined the steps
involved in the process.
This amendment to SVMC 19.65.020 revising the minimum lot requirement from one acre to
40,000 square feet will be consistent with the R-1 zone and eliminate the creation of non-
conforming uses. The Commissioners discussed the difference between the minimum lot size and
how many animals are allowed per acre. Chickens are in a different section and swine are not
allowed. Commissioner Kelley clarified chickens are allowed with a lower minimum square
footage of 2,000 square feet per chicken.
Vice-Chair Johnson opened public hearing at 6:30 p.m. Seeing no who wished to testify the Vice-
Chair closed the public hearing at 6:41p.m.
Commissioner Walton said he thought there would be the potential for confusion for the public
regarding minimum square footage and how many animals are allowed per acre but he is in favor
of the change. Commission Phillips confirmed large animals keeping was based on a gross acre.
Ms.Barlow explained first staff confirms the amount of square feet the customers has. If they have
more than 40,000 square feet, they can have animals, and how many and of what type of animals
are calculated on the lot size. Commissioner Phillips stated he was in favor of the proposal.
Commissioner Kelley supports people raising animals and is in favor of the proposal.
Commissioner Kaschmitter shared this will allow people to be in conformance and is in favor.
Commissioner Johnson agrees with the need to be standardized and returning back to 40,000 square
feet is appropriate and is in favor of the proposal.
Commissioner Walton moved to approve CTA-2018-0001 as presented. The vote on this motion
was five in favor, zero against and the motion passed.

following summarizes application procedures for the proposal.

2. PROPOSAL BACKGROUND: The City of Spokane Valley incorporated in 2003 and utilized the
Spokane County Development Regulations as the City's interim regulations. The residential
zoning in place at that time did not allow animal raising and/or keeping in any residential zones in
the City. In 2004,the regulations were changed to allow animal keeping in the Urban Residential
Estate(UR-1)zone. The minimum lot area for residential units was 40,000 square feet. The
number of animals allowed to be kept varied depending on the animal and size and was regulated
as the maximum number of animals allowed per acre. In 2007,the City adopted its own
regulations and allowed animal keeping in all residential zones subject to a minimum lot size of
Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-2018-0001
40,000 square feet. The number of animals allowed per acre remained the same. The Code was
amended to allow animal keeping associated with residential uses in the mixed use zones subject
to the same restrictions.
During the 2016 Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulations Update,the minimum lot
area required for animal keeping in the residential and mixed use zones was increased to one acre,
which inadvertently established all lots below 43,560 square feet, or one acre, as non-conforming
uses.No changes were made to the number of animals allowed. The code text amendment will
return the minimum lot size to 40,000 square feet utilized from 2004-to 2016. The number of
animals allowed, measured as an animal unit per acre,will not be changed.
The proposal is to modify Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) Chapter 19.65.020.The
change to the existing animal raising and keeping regulations include:
• Allowing poultry and livestock only on 40,000 square feet or greater lots; and
• Associated clean-up revisions.
These proposed revisions align with the City's former animal raising and keeping standards.
B. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE TEXT
AMENDMENT
1. Compliance with Title 17 (General Provisions) of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code
a. Findings:
SVMC 17.80.150(F)Municipal Code Text Amendment Approval Criteria
i. The City may approve Municipal Code Text amendment, if it finds that
(1) The proposed text amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan;
Staff Analysis: The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable goals and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan.The amendment will allow reasonable opportunity
for animal keeping and raising activities while protecting adjacent property owners
from adverse impact, and does not affect the character of the neighborhood..
Relevant Comprehensive Plan goals and policies are shown below:
Land Use Goal-1 Maintain and enhance the character and quality of life in Spokane
Valley.
(2) Staff Analysis: Historically, animal keeping has been allowed in Spokane Valley
area,before and after incorporation on lots with 40,000 square feet or more. The
standard was increased up to 43,560 square feet during the 2016 Comprehensive Plan
and Development Regulation Update. The proposed amendment returns the standard
to its historical 40,000 square feet and leaves all other associated animal keeping
regulations in place that reasonably protect adjacent property owners from adverse
impacts of animal raising and keeping activities. Since the code text amendment
returns the minimum lot area to its previous 40,000 square foot minimum
requirement,which has been implemented in the City for the last 15 years,it does not
result in any change that may affect neighborhood character. The proposed
amendment bears a substantial relation to public health, safety,welfare, and
protection of the environment;
Staff Analysis: The amendment bears substantial relation to public health, safety,
welfare and protection of the environment. The change returns the minimum lot size
Page 2 of 3
Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-2018-0001
to its historical 40,000 square feet, and leaves all health and safety regulations intact.
The change inadvertently created legal non-conforming uses for any residential lot
with animals that was between 43,560 square feet and 40,000 square feet. The change
corrects this unintended consequence and eliminates the legal nonconforming use
status attributed to those properties.
b. Conclusion(s):
The proposed text amendment is consistent with the approval criteria contained in the SVMC.
2. Finding and Conclusions Specific to Public Comments
a. Findings:
No public comments have been received to date.
b. Conclusion(s):
Adequate public noticing was completed for CTA-2018-0001 consistent with adopted public
noticing procedures.
3. Finding and Conclusions Specific to Agency Comments
a. Findings:
The draft regulations were sent to staff for their review. No substantive comments were
received.
b. Conclusion(s):
No concerns are noted.
C. OVERALL CONCLUSION
The proposed code text amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plans policies and goals.
D. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the code text amendment
to City Council with or without changes.

Pursuant to SVMC 17.80.150(E)the Planning Commission shall consider the proposal and shall prepare
and forward a recommendation to the City Council following the public hearing. The following findings
are consistent with the Planning Commission recommendation that City Council adopt the amendment.
Background:
1. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.130, Spokane Valley adopted its 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update and
updated development regulations on December 13,2016,with December 28,2016 as the effective date.
2. CTA-2018-0001 is a city initiated code text amendment to SVMC 19.65.020 Agriculture and Animal
Keeping to change the minimum lot area requirement from one acre to 40,000 square feet. This will be
consistent with the minimum lot size in the R-1 zoning district and eliminate the inadvertent effect of
the increase of the minimum lot size through the development regulation update that resulted in animal
keeping nonconforming uses. This will apply to residential and mixed use zones.
3. The Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing and conducted deliberations on May
24, 2018. The Commissioners voted 5-0 to recommend that the City Council adopt the amendment.
Planning Commission Findings:
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendment and attached in
Exhibit 1.

The amendment will allow reasonable opportunity for animal keeping and raising activities
while protecting adjacent property owners from adverse impact, and does not affect the
character of the neighborhood.
b. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to public health,safety,welfare and protection of
the environment.
Findings:
The amendment bears substantial relation to public health, safety,welfare and protection of
the environment. The change returns the minimum lot size to its historical 40,000 square
feet, and leaves all health and safety regulations intact. The change inadvertently created legal
non-conforming uses for any residential lot with animals that was between 43,560 square feet
and 40,000 square feet. The change corrects this unintended consequence and eliminates the
legal nonconforming use status attributed to those properties.
2. Conclusion:

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Public Comment - Admin Report - Open Space Requirement for
Residential Projects in Mixed Use Zones
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: N/A
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 19.70.050(G)
BACKGROUND: At the March 8th, March 22nd, and April 26th meeting, the Planning
Commission discussed SVMC 19.70.050(g) which stipulates that residential projects with more
than 10 units located in mixed use zones must provide open space at a rate of 210 square feet per
unit with specific exceptions noted in the SVMC. During the recent discussions the Planning
Commission was provided the following information:
1. A survey of various Washington cities to identify open space standards utilized.
2. Mixed use project definitions and examples.
3. Options to address the open space requirement in the mixed use zones.
On April 26th the Planning Commission provided the following direction to staff to develop draft
language.
1. Multi-family uses should be separated from mixed use and regulated differently than a mixed
use development;
2. All multifamily uses should provide open space;
3. Mixed use should be defined;
4. Non-residential uses in mixed use development should be significant enough such that a
mixed use development doesn't become a loop hole to eliminate the open space requirement; and
5. Eliminate the fee in lieu requirement.
Based on that direction, staff drafted language and added a mixed use definition. Staff will
discuss the draft language to determine if it is consistent with the intent. Following the
discussion, the Planning Commission should provide further direction to staff.
