File No. REZ-01-06 )
I. SUMMARY OF DECISION
Hearing Matter: Application for a zone reclassification from the UR-3.5 zone to the UR-7*
zone.
Summary of Decision: Approve application, subject to conditions of approval.
II. FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The application seeks approval of a zone reclassification from the Urban Residential-3.5
(UR-3.5) zone to the Urban Residential-7* (UR-7*) zone, on approximately .74 acres of land.
2. The site is located along the east side of Pierce Road, approximately 650 feet south of
Mission Road; and is situated in the NW 1/4 of Section 16, Township 25 North, Range 44 East,
Willamette Meridian, Spokane County, Washington.
3. The site is currently referenced as County Assessor's tax parcel no. 45162.0505, and is
addressed at 1324 N. Pierce Road, Spokane Valley, Washington.
4. The applicant and site owner is James Legg, 25810 E. Moffat Road, Newman Lake, WA
99025.
5. On January 10, 2006, the applicant submitted a complete application for a zone
reclassification to the City of Spokane Valley Department of Community Development, Planning
Division, in the above file. On the same date, the applicant submitted a preliminary short plat
application to divide the site from north to south into two (2) lots, each approximately 16,000
square feet in area, and including one (1) lot for the existing residence and one lot for an
unspecified future use.
6. The preliminary short plat application is subject to administrative review and approval by the
City Department of Community Development, as a separate process from the Examiner's review
of the rezone application.
7. On April 21, 2006, the City Department of Community Development issued a
Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) for the proposed rezone and short plat applications.
The DNS was not appealed.

8. On June 1, 2006, the Hearing Examiner conducted a public hearing on the rezone
application. The notice requirements for the public hearing were met. The Examiner conducted a
site visit on May 31, 2006.
9. The Hearing Examiner heard the proposal pursuant to Chapter 10.35 of the City Municipal
Code, and the City Hearing Examiner Rules of Procedure.
10. The following persons testified at the public hearing:
Heather Stinson,Associate Planner James Legg

11. The Hearing Examiner takes notice of the City of Spokane Valley Interim Comprehensive
Plan, Zoning Code, Subdivision Ordinance, City Phase I Development Regulations, City 2001
Standards for Road and Sewer Construction, other applicable development regulations, and prior
land use decisions in the vicinity.
12. The record includes the documents in File No REZ-01-06 at the time of the public hearing,
the documents and testimony submitted at the public hearing, and the items taken notice of by the
Hearing Examiner.
13. The site is approximately .74 acres in size and relatively flat in topography. The westerly
one-third(1/3) of the site is improved with a single-family residence and detached garage, and is
vegetated with grasses, shrubs and trees. The east half of the site contains some abandoned
vehicles, building materials and other items of outdoor storage.
14. Effective January 1, 1991, Spokane County reclassified the zoning of the site and nearby
land to the Urban Residential-3.5 (UR-3.5) zone; pursuant to the Program to Implement the
Spokane County Zoning Code, a county-wide rezoning effort. In the same zoning action, the
County reclassified a group of land parcels located along the south side of Mission Avenue,
approximately 460 feet northeast of the site, to the Urban Residential-22 (UR-22) zone; and
reclassified several acres of land located 230 feet northwest of the site, along the west side of
Pierce Road, south of Mission Avenue, to the Urban Residential-7 (UR-7) zone.
HE Findings, Conclusions and Decision REZ-01-06 Page 2
15. Effective January 15, 2002, Spokane County implemented a new comprehensive plan,
Urban Growth Area(UGA) boundaries and County Phase I Development Regulations, pursuant
to the State Growth Management Act. The County Phase I Development Regulations designated
the site and area in the UGA.
16. The County Comprehensive Plan designated the site, and neighboring land, in the Low
Density Residential category. Such plan designated several acres of land lying northwest of the
intersection of Mission Avenue and Pierce Road, and several acres of land lying northeast of the
intersection of Bowdish Avenue and Mission Avenue, in the Medium Density Residential
category.
17. The County Phase I Development Regulations retained the zoning of the site and
neighboring land.
18. On March 31, 2003, the site and neighboring land were officially incorporated into the City
of Spokane Valley. On the same date, the City adopted by reference, as City land use controls,
the County's Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, Phase I Development Regulations,
comprehensive plan and official zoning maps, and other development regulations; subject to
certain revisions not relevant to the current application.
19. In 2004, the City Department of Community Development approved the short plat of
approximately three (3) acres of land located directly west, northwest and southwest of the site,
along the west side of Pierce Road, to create eight(8) lots with an average lot size of one-third
(1/3) acre, in the UR-3.5 zone. Single-family homes have recently been developed on such lots,
which development resulted in the widening of Pierce Road and the installation of sidewalks along
the frontage of such lots. See decision in File No. SHP 04-04.
20. On October 21, 2005, the Hearing Examiner approved the rezone of 1.12 acres of land
located 700 feet northwest of the site, along the north side of Mission Avenue, directly northwest
of the intersection of Mission Avenue and Pierce Road, from the UR-3.5 zone to the UR-7* zone.
See decision in File No REZ-22-05.
21. In August of 2005 and January of 2006, the Hearing Examiner, in separate zoning actions,
respectively rezoned three (3) properties located one-third(1/3) mile to one-half(1/2) mile
southwest of the site from the UR-3.5 to the UR-7* zone. This included a 1.67-acre parcel
located at the northeast corner of Wilbur Road and Boone Avenue, a .31-acre parcel located at
the southwest corner of Boone Avenue and Perrine Road, and a 1.5-acre parcel located along the
south side of Boone Avenue east of Perrine Road. See decisions in File Nos. REZ-12-05, REZ-
26-05 and REZ-23-05.
22. A 2.4-acre parcel of undeveloped land is located directly northeast of the site, and is owned
by Modern Electric Water Company. The 7-acre parcel located directly north of the site is
undeveloped, and is owned by the City of Spokane Valley for park purposes. Mission Park, a
developed city park, is located directly north and northwest of such parcel, on the north side of
Mission Avenue. The other land located near the site consists of single-family homes on lots of
HE Findings, Conclusions and Decision REZ-01-06 Page 3
similar or smaller size than the site. Multi-family uses are found in the UR-22 zone located
northeast of the site along Mission Avenue.
23. The City Arterial Road Plan designates Mission Avenue and Bowdish Road in the area as
Urban Minor Arterials, and University Road and Broadway Avenue as Urban Principal Arterials.
Public transit is located in Mission Avenue, west of University Road; and in University Road,
south of Mission Avenue.
24. Opposition to the proposal was submitted by three (3) owners of single-family homes
located south of the site along the east side of Pierce Road, and two (2) owners of homes located
directly east or southeast of the site. Such owners expressed concerns such as the proposed UR-
7* zoning is inconsistent with neighboring zoning, more intensive uses can be developed on the
site under the UR-7* zone, potential development of duplex rental housing or multi-family uses
on the site, potential development of an elderly care facility on the site resulting in frequent
emergency vehicle responses to site, loss of privacy, traffic impacts to Pierce Road, problems
associated with renters of the residence on the site, outdoor storage and poor maintenance of the
site by applicant, location of detached garage on 20-foot wide access shown for rear lot in
proposed short plat of site, poor construction methods exhibited by the applicant in the past,
adverse impacts on property value, and adverse impacts to adjacent city parkland.
25. The applicant indicated at the public hearing that he had not decided how to develop the
property if the rezone to the UR-7* zone was approved, but had considered development of a
licensed elderly care facility on the site. The applicant indicated that the detached garage along
the north boundary of the site was not built properly before his ownership, and would have to be
torn down; the site would be cleaned up; development of the site would increase the value of the
site and enhance the neighborhood; he had properly installed sewer for the site; and Pierce Road
would be improved along the frontage of the site, if more intensive development of the site was
proposed under the UR-7* zone.
26. The City Zoning Code authorizes a site-specific amendment to the City Zoning Map (i.e.
zone reclassification) if the amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is not
detrimental to the public welfare. See Zoning Code 14.402.020(1); and references to Zoning
Code 14.402.020(1) in Zoning Code 14.402.020 and Zoning Code 14.402.160.
27. Washington case law requires the proponent of a rezone to establish, by a preponderance of
the evidence, that the proposed rezone bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety
or general welfare; and that a substantial change of circumstances has occurred in the area.
However, proof of a substantial change of circumstances is not required if the rezone implements
the comprehensive plan of the local government.
28. The City Phase I Development Regulations require all zone reclassifications to be consistent
with the implementing zones specified in such regulations for the Comprehensive Plan
designations that apply to the subject property. The implementing zones for the Low Density
Residential category, in which the site is designated, are the UR-3.5 and UR-7 zones. The
proposed UR-7* zone implements the Phase I Development Regulations.
HE Findings, Conclusions and Decision REZ-01-06 Page 4
29. The UR-3.5 zone, which currently applies to the site, is intended to promote areas of
primarily single-family residences in an urbanized neighborhood setting. Such zone permits a
single-family dwelling, duplex, and various other uses. The UR-3.5 zone permits a maximum
residential density of 4.35 dwelling units per acres. The minimum lot size for a single-family
dwelling and a duplex dwelling is, respectively, 10,000 square feet and 20,000 square feet; while
the minimum frontage for both uses in the UR-3.5 zone is 80 feet.
30. The UR-7 zone is intended to add to the variety of housing types and densities, and to
provide standards for the orderly development of residential property in a manner that provides a
desirable living environment that is compatible with surrounding land uses and assures the
protection of property values. The UR-7 zone permits a single-family dwelling, duplex, multi-
family dwelling, nursing and convalescent home, retirement/elderly apartments, and various other
uses.
31. The City Phase I Development Regulations limit new residential development on land
rezoned to the UR-7 under such regulations to a maximum density(net) of six(6) dwelling units
per acre. Such zoning is referred to as "UR-7*". The UR-7 zone otherwise permits a density
(net) of seven(7) dwelling units per acre. The minimum lot area in the UR-7 zone is 6,000 square
feet for a single-family dwelling and 11,000 square feet for a duplex. The minimum frontage in
the UR-7 zone is 65 feet for a single-family dwelling and 90 feet for a duplex.
32. Both the UR-3.5 zone and the UR-7 zone pennit the development of a community
residential facility, community treatment facility(by conditional use permit), and a transitional
community facility(by conditional use permit); except that the UR-3.5 zone limits such uses to
eight (8) or fewer residents, and the UR-7 zone limits such uses to 8-25 residents. Both zones
permit a family day care home, and a mini-daycare center located in a dwelling. The maximum
building height and minimum building setbacks in the UR-3.5 and UR-7 zone are the same.
33. Policy UL.9.1 of the Comprehensive Plan recommends that residential densities in the Low
Density Residential category of the Comprehensive Plan range from 1-6 dwelling units per acre.
Policy UL.9.2 recommends that the County seek to achieve an average residential density in new
development of at least four(4) dwelling units per acre, through a mix of densities and housing
Policy UL.8.1 recommends that mixed-income development be provided for in residential areas.
The proposed rezone generally implements these policies.
34. The UR-7 zone requires the installation of a 6-foot high, sight-obscuring fence, wall or solid
landscaping adjacent to land zoned UR-3.5, except adjacent to a public road or alley. Such
requirement would apply along the north, east and south boundaries of the site, and would help
buffer any increased development of the site allowed by a rezone to the UR-7* zone from the
single-family housing zoned UR-3.5 located nearby, as well as provide screening from the
parkland located to the north.
HE Findings, Conclusions and Decision REZ-01-06 Page 5
35. The Staff Report sets forth applicable policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and finds the
proposed rezone to be consistent with such policies and the development standards of the UR-7
zone. The Examiner agrees with such analysis, as supplemented herein.
36. Approval of the rezone does not authorize any particular development of the site, or
approval of the preliminary short plat submitted for the site. The applicant is required to comply
with the County Zoning Code and the City Municipal Code in the development of the site. This
includes compliance with the outdoor storage requirements of the UR-7 zone, and the junk
vehicle and nuisance provisions of the City Municipal Code. Spokane County Fire District
conditions would require the proposed short plat to provide a turnaround that complies with
grading standards and is posted as a fire lane.
37. Because the rezone is not tied to a specific site plan for the purpose of review by the
Examiner, the proposed rezone is exempt from transportation concurrency requirements under the
City Phase I Development Regulations. Traffic concurrency, and required road improvements,
would be determined by City Engineering at the time of short plat approval or building permit.
There is no competent evidence of a traffic engineering nature in the record to support a finding
that approval of the rezone would result in a significant traffic impact in the vicinity.
38. The County Division of Utilities and Modern Electric Water Company, respectively,
certified the availability of public sewer and water for the proposed rezone. The proposed rezone
complies with the public sewer and water concurrency requirements of the City Phase I
Development Regulations.
39. The site is suitable for a rezone to the UR-7* zone; considering the site is designated in the
Low Density Residential category of the Comprehensive Plan, location of the site adjacent to
vacant City parkland and touching a parcel owned by a water district, location of the site near
various City arterials (Mission Avenue, Bowdish Road and University Road), location of the site
near Valley Mission Park, the location of other UR-7 or UR-7* zones in the area, and the
availability of a high level of public services to the site.
40. The rezone application conforms to the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, changed
conditions have occurred in the area since the zoning of the site was reclassified to the UR-3.5
zone in 1991. This includes the extension of public sewer to the area, adoption of the City
Comprehensive Plan and City Phase I Development Regulations, approval of other rezones to the
UR-7* zone in the area, and incorporation of the City of Spokane Valley.
41. The Examiner has not imposed conditions of approval on the rezone that apply only to the
preliminary short plat application.
Based on the above findings of fact, the Hearing Examiner enters the following:

WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY(SPOKANE OFFICE)
1. Any discharge of sediment-laden runoff or other pollutants to waters of the state is in
violation of Chapter 90.48, Water Pollution Control, and WAC 173-201A, Water Quality
Standards for Surface Waters of the State of Washington; and is subject to enforcement action.
2. Proper disposal of construction debris must be on land in such manner that debris cannot
enter the natural stormwater drainage system or cause water quality degradation of state waters.
3. Proper erosion and sediment control practices must be used on the construction site and
adjacent areas to prevent upland sediments from entering the natural stouuwater drainage system.
All areas disturbed or newly created by construction activities must be revegetated; use
bioengineering techniques, use clean durable riprap, or some other equivalent type of protection
against erosion when other measures are not practical.
4. Any operation which would generate a waste discharge or have the potential to impact the
quality of state waters, must receive specific prior authorization from Department of Ecology as
provided under Chapter 90.48 RCW, Chapter 173-216 WAC, Chapter 173-220 WAC, Chapter
173-200 WAC and Chapter 173-201A WAC.
5. All diy wells and other injection wells must be registered with the Underground Injection
Control program(UIC) at Department of Ecology. Contact the UIC staff at UIC Program,
Department of Ecology, PO Box 47600, Olympia, WA 98504-7600 or (360) 407-6616 for
registration forms and further information.
6. Dry wells cannot be used for disposal of stormwater, unless a treatment device or all known
available and reasonable methods of prevention, control and treatment (AKART) is provided
prior to injection and the discharge can meet the Ground Water Standards, Chapter 173-200
WAC. Examples of AKART are grassy swales, sand filters, catch basins, and wet and dry ponds.
A coalescing plate oil/water separator or equivalent treatment must be used in high traffic areas
where gasoline or oil contamination or storm water is likely to be present. Disposal of antifreeze,
oil and other pollutants into drywells is not allowed.
7. Routine inspection and maintenance of all sediment and erosion control devices is
recommended both during and after development of the site.
8. During construction, all releases of oils, hydraulic fluids, fuels, other petroleum products,
paints, solvents, and other deleterious materials must be contained and removed in a manner that
will prevent their discharge to waters and soils of the state. The cleanup of spills should take
precedence over other work on the site.
9. Dumpsters and refuse collection containers must be leak free with close fitting covers. The
drainage for refuse containers and dumpster areas adjacent to or over the water must be
connected to the sanity sewer or otherwise designed to prevent leachate from being discharged to
surface waters.
HE Findings, Conclusions and Decision REZ-01-06 Page 10
10. On-site septic tank and drainfield systems are designed to treat and dispose of domestic
wastewater or its equivalent only. Commercial and industrial operations discharging wastes other
than domestic wastewater to on-site systems may result in ground water contamination and could
cause the facility owner or operator to incur severe liabilities.
