5 'I'he Comprehensive Plan designates this site as Urban The Urban category is
intended to pmvide the vpportumty for develvpment of a city-hlce environment
which includes vanous land uses Intensive residential, pubhc facihnes and public
service are typicai of this categary The residenual densrty ranges from 1 urut per
acre to 17 unxts per acre The proposed zone reclassification to Regxonal Business
(B-3) rs consistent wiith the gvals and abaectives of the Urban Category and the
pmposed zone reclassifi'ication 1s also consistent vvith the "transiaon pvhcy" of the
Camprehensive Ptan where fnnge areas located between two categones may allow

9 The provisions of RCW 43 21C (The State Environmental Pohcy Act) have been
comphed wnth and a Deternmaaon of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued. The
Committee, after uidependent review, hereby adopts the DNS
lU The legal requirements for pubhc notice have been fulfilled.
11 The owners of adjacent lands expressed approval of the proposed use and did not
object to the praposed building height
12 The apphcant has demanstrated that condiaons have substantay changed since the
onginal zoiung of ttus area and accorduigly, the proposed zone reclassificaaon is
justified. Specifically, changed conditions mclude development of an uidustnal
pazk adjacent to the west, and adopaon of the Spokane County Comprehensive
Plan
13 The propossd use will not be demmental to the pubhc health, safety, morals or
welfare especially m hght of the conditions recommended by the reviewing
agencies
14 The Comnuttee additionally finds
a The proposed zone reclassificaaoa will not have a detnmental unpact upon the
adjouung properties and the proposed recreational facihty will unprove the
neighborhood
b That the Spokane County Planung Department, as directed by the Heanng
Examiner Committree should consider amending the Spokane County Zorung
Code so that those uses allowed in the Busmess Matnx are also allowed in the
Industnal Matrix
c The proposed vanances from the maxnmum buMng height and muumum
fiiontage requuements of the Regional Busuiess (B-3) zone are appropnate
given the site's proximity to Interstate-90, adjacent industnal development,
compaabihty with adjacent land uses and support of the proposal by adjoining
property owners
