IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
a. Public Hearing: STV-2023-0001: 22"d Avenue & Glenview Circle
The public hearing was opened at 6:10 p.m.
Planner Levi Basinger gave a staff report. He stated that the street vacation is privately
initiated request from The Oaks Education Association to vacate 6,970 square feet
(0.16 acres) of public right-of-way (ROW) in the alignment for Glenview Circle,
located south of and adjacent to 22nd Avenue.
Mr. Basinger explained that the ROW proposed to be vacated comprises the fourth leg
of the intersection between 22"d Avenue and Glenview Circle. The ROW was originally
dedicated as part of the plat for Glenview Acres 3rd Addition in 1968. This leg of
Glenview remains unimproved and does not extend further south.
Mr. Basinger stated that the Notice Of Public hearing was posted on the site, was
published twice in the newspaper of record (The Valley Herald), written notice was
mailed to the abutting properties, and the notice was posted in three public places.
Mr. Basinger explained that the applicant plans to build a private school on the parcel
to the south. The school will be within the alignment for a potential ROW extension to
the south. Access from 22nd is proposed via a private driveway but is currently located
outside of the ROW. Building permits have been issued for the school's construction
and site grading activities. The applicants will be using the ROW as a temporary
construction entrance, but no permanent improvements have been approved within the
existing ROW currently.
Mr. Basinger said that staff and the utility providers have reviewed the proposal and
have not expressed opposition to vacating the ROW but have requested the following
conditions:
1. A new curb installed across the ROW to be vacated along the south side of 22" d
Avenue.
2. The existing driveway approach for 11706 E 22"d Avenue must be modified to
match installed curbing.
3. Construction within the public ROW must be permitted and subject to
inspection by the City.
4. Easements to allow for maintenance of existing utilities will need to be
dedicated by the City prior to vacation.
5. All costs incurred must be paid by the proponent.
6. The proponent is to purchase the area to be vacated. (The cost is calculated by
the formula adopted in City Council Resolution 2022-020. The total amount
due is $15,111.00).
Mr. Basinger stated that staff has reviewed the criteria outlined in the Spokane Valley
Municipal Code (SVMC) for street vacations and feel that the request will meet all the
requirements once all the conditions of approval are met.

Page 3 of 5
Mr. Basinger said that the City received several public comments regarding the
proposal. The residents had concerns about traffic on 22nd Avenue. He explained that
the City Traffic Engineer does not support the use of this vacated ROW to be used as
access to the site. A fire access lane to the west of this vacated property has been
approved and any changes to that proposed access would need to be reviewed by the
Traffic Engineer for compliance with traffic circulation.
Commissioner Haneke asked if the applicants could come to the City in the future to
request making this access a driveway. If so, could a condition be placed on the
property that would not allow them to do so. Mr. Basinger answered that a change to
the driveway would require applying for an approach permit that would be reviewed
by City development and traffic engineers.
The applicant, Charlie Dowers (Head of School for Oaks Academy) stated that the
school is currently housed within eight structures on the property and are in the process
of building one large school so that all the students will be centralized in one location.
He also stated that currently the ROW is supposed to be maintained by and at the cost
of the City. If the vacation of the property is approved, the City will no longer be liable
for that maintenance. IIe also stated that the school size will not be increasing with the
new building and will not change the parking needs.
Public Testimony:
Nan Smith (Spokane Valley) stated that she is in favor of the street vacation because it
has been a weed lot for 30 years. However, she would like the space to be used as green
or park space only and not used for parking or as a driveway due to the safety of
children walking on 22nd Avenue.
Greg Doering (Spokane Valley) expressed concern about the City gifting property to a
private Christian school and concern about traffic and children's safety if the area is
used for parking, pickup, or drop off. He said that he would like to see the area used as
a green space only and not as an access or driveway.
Jim Rowse (Spokane Valley) expressed concern about the deceased owner being listed
on the application. He also provided a photo of the area showing the proposed vacation
that was provided to the Commission. He expressed that the paperwork submitted by
the Oak lists that the area could be used as parking or open space. He feels that there is
a significant difference between those two items and would like to see the area just
used as open space. Ile also expressed concern about the safety of the children and is
against the vacation as parking or access to the facility. He would like to see the space
remain as open green space.
Thomas Santorsla (Spokane Valley) expressed concern about the traffic and the
vagueness in the application about what The Oaks Academy plans to do with the
property in the future. He stated that he would like to see a better presented plan of
what they are proposing.
Art Zach (Spokane Valley) stated that the application does not specifically say that the
area will not be used as a parking lot that accesses onto 22ad Avenue. He also expressed
concern that the fire access curb cut could be used as an access point for more than just
4-27-2023 Planning Commission Minutes
Page 4 of 5
fire personnel. He feels that 22nd Avenue cannot handle any additional traffic that might
be produced from an additional driveway or access point from this vacated area.
Doyle Kanabica (Spokane Valley) stated that The Oaks has a sidewalk that will go
along 22nd Avenue to the new property to help with the concern about children walking
on the street. The Oaks hopes that this new sidewalk will help alleviate some of those
problems and concerns.
Mr. Art Zach stated that he is happy that the sidewalk improvement is being done but
does not feel that it will resolve the problem if the vacated area is used as an access that
will put more cars on 22nd Avenue.
Commissioner Miller asked the applicant about utilizing the vacated area asjust green
or open space.
Mr. Charlie Dowers stated that the school has not researched a 20-year site
development plan for the property. He stated that he would feel uncomfortable stating
that without reviewing if it is the best use of the space long term.
Commissioner Granrath asked if a condition could be placed on the property prohibiting the
vacated area from being used as access in the future. Mr. Bates answered that the City could
not be able to attach that type of condition on the property.
Commissioner Deluechi asked if the City could require that the curb and sidewalk be
extended all the way through the vacated property to help prohibit it from being used as an
access or driveway. Mr. Basinger responded that the City does have a condition of approval
regarding curbs and sidewalks that will have to be met before the plat is signed and the final
vacation is completed. He also explained that any future changes to the area making it a
driveway or access point would require City review and approval. The Senior Traffic
Engineer has documented that he is not in favor of the area being used as access.
The public hearing closed at 6:54 p.m.
Commissioner McKinley moved to recommend approval of STV-2023-0001 to the City
Council as presented.
Commissioner Haneke stated that he is extremely concerned about the property being used as
a driveway and would really like to see a condition that would keep that from happening in
the future. Commissioner Miller agreed. Commissioner Delucchi said that requiring a curb
and sidewalks that extends all the way to the vacated property could keep a driveway from
happening.
Commissioner Granrath commented that this ROW could have been used as a street since the
inception of the plat in 1968 but it has never been used as an access. The City Street Engineer
has stated that lie does not support allowing a driveway at this location so he feels that it will
never be allowed as a driveway or access onto 22nd Avenue.

b. Findings of Fact: 2023 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Planner Levi Basinger presented the Findings of Fact for the Annual Comprehensive Plan

proposed CPA on April 13, 2023. The Planning Commission deliberated on the CPA and
voted as follows unanimously to forward the proposed amendments to the City Council as

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Findings and Recommendation - STV-2023-0001
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: Privately initiated street vacation request to vacate 6,900-
square feet of public right-of-way south of the intersection of 22" Avenue and Glenview Circle.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 22.140 Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC);
RCW 35A.47.020 and Chapter 35.79 RCW
BACKGROUND: The Oaks Education Association has requested the vacation of approx. 6,900
square feet (0.16 acres) of public right-of-way in the alignment for Glenview Circle, located
south of and adjacent to 22nd Avenue.
The right-of-way proposed to be vacated comprises the fourth leg of the intersection between
22nd Avenue and Glenview Circle. The right of way was originally dedicated as part of the plat
for Glenview Acres 3rd Addition in 1968. This leg of Glenview remains unimproved and does
not extend further south.
The right-of-way is adjacent to two properties, Parcels 45281.2104 and 45281.2802. Both parcels
are owned by Oaks Education Association. The property owner has requested the 6,900 square
feet of right-of-way be vacated because they believe it is no longer required for public access and
the Oaks Academy expansion, located immediately to the south, prevents a possible extension of
Glenview Road further to the south.
On April 4, 2023, City Council passed Resolution 23-005 to set a public hearing date with the
Planning Commission for April 27, 2023. The Planning Commission conducted a study session
on April 13, 2023 and a public hearing on April 27, 2023. On April 27, 2023, the Planning
Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the street vacation (STV-2023-0001)
to the City Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move to approve the Planning Commission

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION
Pursuant to Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 17.80150(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's decision to recommend approval of File No. STV-2023-0001.
A. Background:
1. Chapter 22.140 SVMC, governing street vacations.
2. STV-2023-0001 is a privately initiated street vacation request to vacate 6,900 square feet
of public right-of-way south of the intersection of 22nd Avenue and Glenview Circle.
3. The Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on April 27, 2023.
4. On April 27, 2023, the Planning Commission conducted deliberations and voted
unanimously to recommend approval of STV-2023-0001 to the City Council.
B. Planning Commission Findings:
Compliance with SVMC 22.140.030
1. Whether a change of use or vacation of the street or alley will better serve the public.
The area proposed to be vacated is surrounded on three sides by private property owned by
the same owner. Although it is unimproved, the City is obligated to maintain and prohibit
encroachments into the right-of-way. The adjacent property owner desires to take
ownership and maintenance of the area and improve it as part of their private property. The
City's Senior Traffic Engineer supports the vacation with driveway access as proposed on
the site plan approved with the Trip Generation and Distribution Letter, which is to the
west of the proposed vacation. Traffic does not support the use of the area proposed to be
vacated as access to school development and a condition to curb the right-of-way has been
included. The vacation of this right-of-way will better serve the public by reducing
maintenance obligations of the City, eliminating a potential safety hazard at an existing
street intersection, and allowing full development of the adjacent private property.
2. Whether the street or alley is no longer required for public use or public access.
The area proposed to be vacated is currently unimproved and is not being used for public
access. The street is no longer required for public use or access and is not required for
current or future public access or use. Additionally, development immediately to the south
precludes the extension of the public street in its current alignment.
3. Whether the substitution of a new and different public way would be more useful to
the public.
There is no substitution being proposed as part of the vacation. The City's review has
determined there is no need for a new or different public way. The right of way was
originally dedicated as part of the plat for Glenview Acres 3rd Addition in 1968 as the
fourth leg of the intersection between 22nd Avenue and Glenview Circle. The south leg of
the intersection, and the large tracts of land south of 22nd Avenue have remained largely
undeveloped. As a result, the intersection between 22nd and Glenview has functioned as
Findings and Recommendations of the Spokane Valley Planning Commission STV-2023-0001 Page I of
a three-way intersection since its initial construction. No additional right of way is needed
to substitute the subject right of way to be vacated.
4. Whether conditions may so change in the future as to provide a greater use or need
than presently exists.
Development immediately to the south precludes a future extension of the public street. No
changes would occur in the future that world require the use of the subject right-of-way
for public access.
5. Whether objections to the proposed vacation are made by owners of private property
(exclusive of petitioners) abutting the street or alley or other governmental agencies
or members of the general public.
No objections by the utility providers or governmental agencies have been received. One
public objection was received prior to the public hearing, with concerns that allowing the
property owner to use the vacated right of way for access would create more traffic locally.
Similar concerns regarding additional access to the Oaks Academy private school site from
22nd Avenue were voiced by concerned members of the public at the public hearing.
According to public testimony, large numbers of students use 22nd Avenue to walk to and
from the nearby public schools of Bowdish Middle School and South Pines Elementary
School. As part of the Oaks Academy development, a sidewalk is being constructed on the
southside of 22nd Avenue from Bowdish to the eastern edge of the proposed vacated right-
of-way. An existing condition of approval included extending the curb across the proposed
vacation.
During deliberations the Planning Commission made, in response to public testimony, a
recommendation to extend the sidewalk being installed by the applicant as pall of the Oaks
Academy construction project to the east across the vacated portion of right of way
consistent with the extension of the curb.
C. Conclusions:
The findings confirm that the criteria set forth in SVMC 22.140.030 have been met.
D. Recommendation:
The Spokane Valley Planning Commission therefore recommends the City Council
approve STV-2023-0001 subject to the following conditions:
1. Initial work to satisfy the conditions of the street vacation (File No. STV-2023-0001), including
all conditions below, shall be submitted to the City for review within 90 days following the
effective date of approval by the City.
2. The vacated property shall be transferred one half to each owner of the abutting parcels, parcel
numbers 45281.2802 and 45281.2104, as shown on the record of survey created and recorded
with Spokane County Auditor's Office pursuant to Condition 3 below. Such property shall
become part of each abutting parcel.
3. Following the City Council's passage of the ordinance approving the street vacation, a record of
survey of the area to be vacated, prepared by a registered surveyor in the State of Washington,
including an exact metes and bounds legal description, and specifying any and all applicable
easements for construction, repair and maintenance of existing and future utilities and services,
shall be completed.
4. The adjacent property owners shall purchase from the City the public right of way to be vacated
Findings and Recommendations of the Spokane Valley Planning Commission STV-2023-0001 Page 2 of 4
consistent with Resolution 22-020. The exact cost of purchase shall be determined by the final
square footage of the area to be vacated according to the record of survey.
5. An easement acceptable to Lumen and Modern Electric Water Company for access and
maintenance of existing utilities within the area to be vacated shall be established. The location
and recording number shall be shown on the record of survey.
6. The existing curb returns at Glenview Circle shall be removed and Type `A' curb and sidewalk

shall be paid by the proponent. The City shall not, and does not, assume any financial
responsibility for any direct or indirect costs for the transfer of title.
10. The zoning district designation of the properties adjoining the street to be vacated shall be

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: CTA-2023-0002 Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Regulations Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A.106, SVMC 17.80.150 and 19.30.040.
PREVIOUS COMMISSION ACTION: None
BACKGROUND: CTA-2023-0002 is a city -initiated code teat amendment to revise SVMC 19.40.030 as
it relates to ADU standards. The proposed regulations eliminate the requirement that the property owner
occupy the primary dwelling unit or the ADU and other matters related. Pursuant to SVMC 19.30.040
modification to SVMC Titles 17 through 24 are classified as a Type IV development application and require
the Planning Commission to provide a recommendation to City Council.
ADU's are currently allowed in all residential zoning districts so long as the requirements of SVMC
19.40.030 are met. Generally, the requirements address the number of ADU's allowed, number of parking
spaces, size and location of units, aesthetics, and a requirement that the owner must occupy the primary
unit or the ADU for a minimum of 6 months each year.
City staff routinely discusses the ADU criteria with the public and has frequently found that the requirement
for owner occupancy in the primary dwelling or ADU to be the criteria that cannot be met.
Staff will provide an overview of the proposed regulations.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No action recommended at this time.

SVMC 19.4O.O3O(D)(1)
Why do we need to change the regulation?
Requiring that the property owner occupy the primary
dwelling unit or ADU creates a barrier to construct an ADU
and is negatively impacting opportunity to provide
affordable housing options that are currently allowed by the
Municipal Code
What was the premise for the regulation historically?
■ ADU Regulations were frequently intended to allow for family
members needing care
■ Often based on apprehensions about noise and other
negative impacts that maybe caused by unsupervised
renters
