Request for Planning Commission Action
Meeting Date: February 9, 2023
Item: Check all that apply ❑ old business ® new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information ® study session ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Proposed Code Text Amendment to SVMC 19.65.130, CTA-2023-0001
Orphaned Accessory Structures
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A.106, SVMC 17.80.150 and SVMC 19.30.040.
PREVIOUS COMMISSION ACTION: None
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to SVMC 19.60.030 B. Accessory Uses are allowed when they are
subordinate to, or incidental to, a permitted primary use on the same lot. This means that an accessory use,
by definition, is not allowed without a primary use. Generally, this limitation is not a concern; however,
certain land use actions like boundary line adjustments and subdivisions result in an accessory use to be
"orphaned" without a primary use. The City has developed a "work around" that allows the land use action
to happen when the property owner desires to keep an orphaned accessory structure. The work around
requires that the developer submit a building permit for a primary use on the lot with the accessory building
just prior to recording the land use action. Once the action is recorded the developer has six weeks to begin
construction of the primary use. The work around is problematic, complicated, and requires coordination
and follow-up over an extended period. This often results in code compliance issues. Most importantly,
the work around is not codified.
CTA-2023-0001 is a city -initiated code text amendment to revise SVMC 19.65.130 to include language
that would allow the developer to retain an accessory structure on a lot without a primary use. Tonight,
staff will share with the Planning Commission a couple options for discussion about orphaned accessory
structures.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No action recommended at this time.
STAFF CONTACT: Martin Palaniuk, Associate Planner
