(Maps). The Zoning Map amendments are generally described as follows:
Map Amendments:
File No. CPA-2018-0001:
Proposal: Site-specific Comprehensive Plan map amendment requesting to change the designation
from Single-Family Residential (SFR) with a Single-Family Residential Urban District (R-3)
zoning classification to a Multifamily Residential (MFR) designation with a Multifamily
Residential(MFR) zoning classification.
Applicant: Robin R&Lori R Petrie, 12416 East Valleyway Avenue, Spokane Valley,WA 99216-
0928.
Amendment Location: Parcel No(s). 45153.2801, 45153.2835, and 45153.2836; addressed as
12402 East Valleyway Avenue and 12416 East Valleyway Avenue, located 300 feet east of the
intersection of Valleyway Avenue and Pines Road (SR Hwy 27), further located in the SW 1/4 of
Section 15, Township 25 North, Range 44 East, Willamette Meridian, Spokane County,
Washington.
Council Findings:
1. The public health,safety,welfare,and protection of the environment are promoted by standards
established by the state and the City's regulations.
2. The proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is consistent with Growth Management
Act(GMA) chapter 36.70A RCW. Specifically the following planning goals would be met:
a. Allows opportunity for growth in an area with adequate public facilities.
b. Creates opportunity for a range of residential uses and densities to develop in a
neighborhood adjacent to commercial and high density residential uses.
3. The amendment provides a suitable land use designation consistent with the City's GMA
compliant Comprehensive Plan.
4. The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property
owner's control. The properties on Pines Road were previously zoned Office (0) which
curtailed retail uses. During the 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update,the Office designation was
eliminated and the designation was changed to CMU, which expanded the opportunity for a
variety of retail and office uses. The proposed three parcels, which are adjacent to the CMU
designated parcels, are designated as SFR for single family uses. The MFR would allow for a
Ordinance 18-015:2018 Zoning Map Amendments Page 4 of 11
range of residential uses, including multifamily and single family,and would allow office uses
consistent with the existing uses.
5. The proposed amendment does not correct a mapping error.
6. The proposed amendment does not address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan.
7. No significant effects upon the physical environment are expected if the property develops
consistent with the MFR zone.
8. There are no known critical areas associated with the site, such as wetlands, fish and wildlife
habitat areas,frequently flooded areas and geologically hazardous areas. The site is not located
within the shoreline jurisdiction and there are no known surface water quality or quantity
issues.
9. Development and enforcement of the City's land use regulations will ensure compatibility with
the existing residential neighborhood.
10. The City addressed adequacy of community facilities through capital facilities planning. The
Comprehensive Plan recommends that the City ensure that facilities and services meet the
minimum level of service standards. This is implemented through chapter 22.20 SVMC,
Concurrency. At the time of development,a Trip Generation Letter or Traffic Impact Analysis
will likely be required,and appropriate safety mitigation measures considered to mitigate actual
development impacts. Currently,the site is served with all utilities and improved public roads.
11. The proposed site-specific map amendment should not affect the existing character of the
surrounding neighborhood. The site has traditionally been residential, and the regulations
ensure that future development will be compatible with the existing residential uses in the
immediate area.A higher density of residential housing near retail areas will support retail uses.
12. The subject property would have an insignificant effect on the amount of land designated for
both SF and MFR and/or the potential population increase.
13. If development did occur to meet all development standards in the MFR zone, a maximum of
46 residences would be allowed, with a projected population density of 53 persons per acre
within the proposed amendment area. Considering the existing development of two single
family residences, and the available area for new development, maximum density will not
likely be achieved. Directing density to areas near transportation corridors and commercial
areas is consistent with the intent of the MFR designation.
14. The amendment will have no substantive impact on other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan
since the property will remain residential is use.
15. The proposed amendment is consistent with GMA and does not result in internal
inconsistencies within the Comprehensive Plan itself.
16. The goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan were considered and the proposed
amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
17. Findings were made and factors were considered to ensure compliance with approval criteria
contained in SVMC 17.80.140(H)(Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide rezones).
18. The Comprehensive Plan land use map amendment will not adversely affect the public's
general health, safety, and welfare.
Council Decision: Change the zoning designation for parcel numbers 45153.2801, 45153.2835,
and 45153.2836 to Multifamily Residential (MFR).
File No. CPA-2018-0003:
Proposal: Site-specific Comprehensive Plan map amendment requesting to change the designation
from Single Family Residential (SFR) to Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) and to change the Zoning
District from Single Family Residential Suburban(R-2) to Corridor Mixed Use(CMU).
Amendment Location: Parcel number 45333.1807; located west of the Y intersection of East
Sands Road and South Bowdish Road, further located in the SW '/4 of Section 33, Township 25
North, Range 44 East, Willamette Meridian, Spokane County, Washington.
Ordinance 18-015:2018 Zoning Map Amendments Page 5 of 11
Council Findings:
1. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 18-014, CPA-2018-0003 was denied by Council and no subsequent
change to the Official City Zoning map shall occur.
Council Decision: Deny the request to change the zoning for parcel number 45333.1807 to
Corridor Mixed Use (CMU).
File No. CPA-2018-0004:
Proposal: Site-specific Comprehensive Plan map amendment requesting to change the designation
from Single Family Residential (SFR) to Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and to change the
Zoning District from Single Family Residential Urban(R-3)to Neighborhood Commercial (NC)
Applicant: Heather Bryant, 108 N Washington, Suite 500, Spokane, WA 99201.
Amendment Location: Parcel number 45212.1348; located in the SE corner of 7th Avenue and
University Road, further located in the NW 'A of Section 21, Township 25 North, Range 44 East,
Willamette Meridian, Spokane County,Washington.
Council Findings:
I. The public health, safety, welfare, and protection of the environment will be served by the
proposed amendment. Infrastructure in the form of roadways, parking, sewer,water, schools,
and fire protection, is built through the course of development that will protect and serve the
public health, safety, and welfare. The site has no environmentally sensitive areas.
2. The proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is consistent with Growth Management
Act (GMA) chapter 36.70A RCW. The amendment allows opportunity for growth in a
centralized area with adequate public facilities, and creates opportunity for small scale
businesses to develop in a neighborhood oriented commercial area within walking distance of
residential neighborhoods. The request does not conflict with any other GMA goals.
3. The proposed amendment does not respond to a substantial change in conditions beyond the
property owner's control. This property and the property located adjacent to the south are
under the same ownership. The southern property was zoned NC during the 2016 update
however site characteristics constrain its development. Access to any neighborhood
commercial development would be more easily accommodated if access can be gained from
the amendment site.
4. The proposed amendment does not correct a mapping error.
5. The proposed amendment does address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan.
The 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update specifically sought to identify areas into which NC
zoning could be clustered. The Comprehensive Plan identifies neighborhood areas served by
arterial roadways. The parcel located adjacent and south of the subject parcel was identified
and zoned as NC as part of the 2016 update. The amendment would allow the full use of this
parcel and expand the NC zone.
6. The site will likely transition from a residential use with residential driveways,trees, lawn,and
buildings to a commercial building with parking structures, commercial landscaping, and
stormwater treatment areas. The transition would have some impact on the physical
environment.
7. The site does not contain any streams, rivers or lakes. There will be negligible impact on the
open space areas.
8. The commercial uses allowed in the NC zone are limited and are intended to be of a scale that
is compatible with a neighborhood.A Neighborhood Commercial development is purposefully
limited to reduce impacts to neighboring residential uses. Development standards will limit
the height and location of any new commercial use. A positive impact would be created if the
property is developed with a use that serves the surrounding residential uses.
9. Neighborhood commercial use will likely have minimal impact on parks,recreation or schools.
No impacts are anticipated.
Ordinance 18-015: 2018 Zoning Map Amendments Page 6 of 11
10. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update sought to increase the neighborhood commercial nodes.
Providing a neighborhood commercial use within a residential neighborhood will provide both
economic opportunity and a neighborhood amenity.
11. As part of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan update, areas with the densities to support
neighborhood scale retail were identified. The parcel adjacent and south of the subject parcel
was identified as a suitable site and designated for neighborhood commercial land use and
zoning as part of the 2016 update. Sloping terrain limits this site however.
12. The addition of a neighborhood retail development is not anticipated to increase or decrease
the population or density in the area. The change will have no impact on population density.
13. The NC designation would support many of the Economic Development, Land Use,
Transportation, and Housing goals, It would have little effect on the Capital Facilities and
Public Services, Public and Private Utilities, Parks and Open Space and Natural Resources
elements of the Comprehensive plan.
14. The proposed amendment is consistent with GMA and does not result in internal
inconsistencies within the Comprehensive Plan itself.
15. The goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan were considered and the proposed
amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
16. Findings were made and factors were considered to ensure compliance with approval criteria
contained in SVMC 17.80.140(H) (Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide rezones).
17. The Comprehensive Plan land use map amendment will not adversely affect the public's
general health, safety, and welfare.
Council Decision:Change the zoning for parcel number 45212.1348 to Neighborhood Commercial
(NC).
File No. CPA-2018-0005:
Proposal: City-initiated site specific.Comprehensive Plan map amendment requesting to expand
the NC designation and zoning to eliminate split designation of Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and
Single Family Residential(SFR),and the associated zoning ofNC and Single Family Residential Urban
District(R-3).
Applicant: City of Spokane Valley, 10210 East Sprague Avenue, Spokane Valley, WA 99206.
Amendment Location:As modified by City Council,parcels 46353.9035 and 46355.9038;located
south of the intersection of Progress Road and Forker Road; further located in Section 35 of
Township 26, Range 44, Willamette Meridian, Spokane County, Washington.
Council Findings:
1. The public health, safety, welfare, and protection of the environment will be served by the
proposed amendment. The affected parcels are inappropriately and erroneously burdened by
two different sets of development regulations as an unintended consequence by the mapping
error. The public health, safety, welfare and protection of the environment benefit is
eliminating the bisected zoning condition which allows the property to develop consistent with
other properties in the area.
2. The proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is consistent with Growth Management
Act(GMA) chapter 36.70A RCW. Specifically the following planning goals would be met:
a. Provides a suitable land use designation consistent with the City's GMA compliant
Comprehensive Plan.
3. The amendment does respond to a substantial change of land use designation and zoning. The
City underwent an extensive legislative comprehensive plan update in 2016 resulting in a land
use designation that was not intended to bisect property. This amendment is the City's first
opportunity to respond. As part of the changes, properties designated NC were expanded and
designated on portions of parcels associated with CPA-2018-0005.
Ordinance 18-015: 2018 Zoning Map Amendments Page 7 of 11
4. The City initiated amendment corrects a mapping error. The City inadvertently bisected
parcels with the land use designations/zoning during the 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update.
This created parcels burdened by two different sets of development regulations.
5. The proposed amendment does not address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan.
6. There are no known physical characteristics that would create difficulties in developing the
property under the proposed designation. This is a non-project action and future development
will be evaluated for compliance with all environmental requirements.
7. The site contains designated critical areas that include a Type F stream on the northwest corner
of parcel 46351.9049, and parcels are located within a 100-year floodplain. FEMA has
accepted the conditional letter of map revision(CLOMR)to modify the boundaries and remove
the floodplain from the majority of the site. SVMC 21.40 Critical Areas will ensure that
adequate protection of the critical areas and adjacent land use are addressed.
8. The existing land use designation of NC for the proposed amendment was evaluated and placed
on the property through the 2016 Comprehensive Platt Update. The amendment corrects the
minor mapping error and eliminates split zoned parcels. The corrections are minimal in size
and would not create an impact to adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods by
significantly increasing the area available for development. CPA-2018-0005 parcels are vacant
and future development will be evaluated for compliance with all applicable City and State
requirements as it relates to adjacent uses.
9. The map correction will have no impact on community facilities or utilities. The City addresses
adequacy of community facilities on a citywide basis through capital facilities planning.
Capital facilities and utilities were analyzed in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update. The
minor adjustment to land use amounts will have no impact. At the time of development, an
additional SEPA review may be required to evaluate the impacts of the use(s) and proposed
structure(s) on the physical environment and transportation.
10. The proposed amendment will not affect the existing character of the surrounding
neighborhood. The land use designation exists and the City is correcting a mapping error.
11. The mapping error will have an insignificant effect on the amount of land associated with each
designation as this corrects an error. The adjustments will not affect the density currently
allowed in the vicinity and will have no effect on population density. As discussed in the Land
Use chapter of the Comprehensive Plan the neighborhood-scale commercial development is
limited in the City. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan update designated a portion of parcels NC
associated with CTA-2018-0005.
12. The amendment corrects a mapping error. This will not result in displacement of residences.
The amendment have an insignificant effect on population density and does not demand
population analysis since no increase in density is anticipated.
13. The insignificant adjustment to land quantities will not affect any portion of the Comprehensive
Plan. The amendment is correcting a mapping error.
14. During the Comprehensive Plan amendment process, the owner sought and received a
boundary line adjustment (BLA) for the five parcels affected by the amendment. The BLA
changes the impact of the amendment from affecting five parcels to affecting two parcels,
although the total area affected remains the same: parcel no.46353.9035 and 46355.9038. The
two parcels reflect the same area previously affected. The Council hereby finds that modifying
the proposed amendment to accurately reflect the new parcel numbers is appropriate. Further,
the Council finds that the modification is not a substantial modification since the amendment
remains the same except for the change in parcel numbers and no further action is required
pursuant to SVMC 17.80.140(I)(3).
15. The proposed amendment is consistent with GMA and does not result in internal
inconsistencies within the Comprehensive Plan itself.
16. The goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan were considered and the proposed
amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Ordinance 18-015: 2018 Zoning Map Amendments Page 8 of 11
17. Findings were made and factors were considered to ensure compliance with approval criteria
contained in SVMC 17.80.140(H) (Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide rezones).
18. The Comprehensive Plan land use map amendment will not adversely affect the public's
general health, safety, and welfare.
Council Decision: : Expand the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) designation and zoning on Parcel
numbers 46353.9035 and 46355.9038 to eliminate the split designation of Neighborhood Commercial
(NC) and Single Family Residential (SFR), and the associated zoning of NC and Single Family
Residential Urban District (R-3). The Council approves modifying the proposed amendment from
parcels 46352.9052, 46352.9014, 46351.9049, 46351.9005, and 46354.9127 to parcels 46353.9035
46355.9038 due to a BLA that occurred during the Comprehensive Amendment process.
File No. CPA-2018-0006:
Proposal: City-initiated site specific Comprehensive Plan map amendment requesting to expand
the Industrial Mixed Use(IMU)designation and zoning to eliminate split designation of IMU and Single
Family Residential (SFR, and the associated zoning of IMU and Single Family Residential Urban
District(R-3).
Applicant: City of Spokane Valley, 10210 East Sprague Avenue, Spokane Valley, WA 99206.
Amendment Location: Parcel 45015.1409, addressed as 16205 East Trent Avenue; located 490
feet west of the intersection of Trent Avenue(SR 290)and Lillian Road;further located in the north
half of Section 1, Township 25, Range 44, Willamette Meridian, Spokane County, Washington.
Council Findings:
1. The public health, safety, welfare, and protection of the environment will be served by the
proposed amendment. The affected parcel is inappropriately and erroneously burdened by two
different sets of development regulations as an unintended consequence by the mapping error.
The public health, safety, welfare and protection of the environment benefit is eliminating the
bisected zoning condition which allows the property to develop consistent with other properties
in the area.
2. The proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is consistent with Growth Management
Act(GMA) chapter 36.70A RC.W. Specifically the following planning goals would be met:
a. Provides a suitable land use designation consistent with the City's GMA compliant
Comprehensive Plan.
3. The amendment does respond to a substantial change of land use designation and zoning. The
City underwent an extensive legislative comprehensive plan update in 2016 resulting in a land
use designation that was not intended to bisect property. This amendment is the City's first
opportunity to respond. As part of the changes, the land use designation IMU was created
and applied to parcel associated with CPA-2018-0006 to capture the existing diverse uses and
focus future infill development along Trent Avenue.
4. The City initiated amendment corrects a mapping error. The City inadvertently bisected
parcels with the land use designations/zoning during the 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update.
This created a parcel burdened by two different sets of development regulations.
5. The proposed amendment does not address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan,
6. There are no known physical characteristics that would create difficulties in developing the
property under the proposed designation. This is a non-project action and future development
will be evaluated for compliance with all environmental requirements.
7, There are no known critical areas associated with the site, such as wetlands, fish and wildlife
habitat areas, frequently flooded areas or geologically hazardous areas associated with CPA-
2018-0006. The parcel is not located within shoreline jurisdiction,nor are there known surface
water quality or quantity issues. The City's critical areas ordinance will ensure that adequate
protection of the critical areas and adjacent land use are addressed.
Ordinance 18-015: 2018 Zoning Map Amendments Page 9 of 11
8. The City initiated amendment corrects a minor mapping error to eliminate a split zoned parcel.
The correction is both minimal in size and would not create an impact to adjacent land uses
and surrounding neighborhoods by significantly increasing the area available for development.
CPA-2018-0006 parcel is fully developed and a swale is constructed within the split zoned
portion of land designated SFR.
9. The map correction will have no impact on community facilities or utilities. The City of
Spokane Valley addresses adequacy of community facilities on a citywide basis through capital
facilities planning. Capital facilities and utilities were analyzed in the 2016 Comprehensive
Plan Update. The minor adjustment to land use amounts will have no impact, Currently the
site is served with all utilities and public streets.
10. The proposed amendment will not affect the existing character of the surrounding
neighborhood. The land use designation exists and the City is correcting a mapping error.
11. The mapping error will have an insignificant effect on the amount of land associated with each
designation as this corrects an error. The adjustments will not affect the density currently
allowed in the vicinity and will have no effect on population density. Residential uses allowed
in the IMU designation are incidental and subservient to any commercial or industrial uses.
12. The amendment corrects a mapping error. This will not result in displacement of residences.
The amendment has an insignificant effect on population density and does not demand
population analysis since no increase in density is anticipated.
13. The insignificant adjustment to land quantities will not affect any portion of the Comprehensive
Plan. The amendment corrects a mapping error.
14. The proposed amendment is consistent with GMA and does not result in internal
inconsistencies within the Comprehensive Plan itself.
15. The goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan were considered and the proposed
amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
16. Findings were made and factors were considered to ensure compliance with approval criteria
contained in SVMC 17.80.140(H)(Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide rezones).
17. The Comprehensive Plan land use map amendment will not adversely affect the public's
general health, safety, and welfare.
Council Decision: Expand the Industrial Mixed Use([MU)zoning on parcel number 45015.1409.
