RE: Non -conforming chickens
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Prior,
The City of Spokane Valley received your application dated October 10th, 2006 to maintain legal
non -conforming status of the keeping of chickens on your property. Our Community
Development Director has denied this application based on the following facts:
1. The current zoning of the property is UR 3.5; a designation that does not allow for the
keeping of chickens.
2. A year lapsed between the time that chickens were last on the property (July 2002) and
the time that you purchased the property (July 2003). Chapter 14.508.040 of the Interim
Spokane Valley Zoning Code states that "A nonconforming use that has been abandoned
or discontinued for a period of more than one (1) year shall thereafter be replaced by a
use that conforms to the regulations of the zone in which the use is located."
Based on the above information, the keeping of chickens on your property is not an allowed use.
If you have any questions or concems, please contact Marina Sukup at 688-0030 or
msukup@spokanevalley.org
Sincerely,
Heather Kauer,
Planning Technician
City of Spokane Valley
