AGENDA ITEM TITLE: CTA-2020-0006 — PRD Code Text Amendment
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: City initiated code text amendment to delete Chapter 19.50 of the Spokane Valley
Municipal Code (SVMC) and prohibit Planned Residential Developments (PRD) in residential zones
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 17.80.150, SVMC 19.30.040 and RCW 36.70A.106
BACKGROUND: As part of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan Amendment process, the city initiated an amendmentto amend
the goals and policies for alternative housing types with regulatory changes that included establishing the R-4 zone and the
implementing regulations. The amendment was intended to address citizen concerns regarding the influx of duplex
developments and develop appropriate locations for higher density alternative housing. CPA-2020-0007 established the R
4zoneinareassupportedbytransitandservicesthatsupportdenserhousingandhousingaffordability. Additionally, higher
density housing types, such as cottages and townhomes were prohibited in the R-3 zone, but allowed in the R-4 zone.
Duplex minimum lot sizes in the R-3 zone were increased to be compatible with neighborhood character.
On November 1711, in response to citizen complaints Council directed staff to review Chapter 19.50, SVMC to insure that
the PRD regulations were consistent with the intent of CPA-2020-0007 and identify any "loop holes". On November 24,
2020 Council adopted Ordinance 20-028 establishing a one-year moratorium on submission, acceptance, processing
modification, and approval of PRDs. The moratorium has no effect on applications currently under review, but prohibits
new applications from being considered.
Staff conducted a review of PRD regulations in adjacent jurisdictions and compared various elements including land uses,
density, density bonuses, minimum site size and open space requirements. The current regulations were also evaluated for
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies. Additional research included a review of vacant and partially
developed properties meeting the 5 acres minimum site requirement to identify the extent the city could be impacted by
such developments. This analysis identified the number of potential properties and associated zoning of the properties. The
review also considered if the sites meeting the criteria were impacted by critical areas. The analysis highlighted that the
PRD regulations allowed incompatible land uses in predominantly single-family residential neighborhoods which is
inconsistent with several goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and specifically contrary with the Councils recent
efforts to protect the single family residential character of the R-3 zone. As a result the City has initiated a code text
amendment to eliminate Chapter 19.50 SVMC thereby prohibiting PRDs.
Staff will present an overview of the analysis and CTA. A virtual public hearing on the proposed code text amendment has
been scheduled for September 23, 2021 at 6:00 p.m.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No action recommended at this time.
STAFF CONTACT: Lori Barlow, Senior Planner
