July 11, 2017
Comprehensive Planning Overview
1. Periodic Review and Update Process
2. Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment
3. Subsequent Project Specific Development Review
1. Periodic Review and Update Process
The City is required to periodically review and update its Comprehensive
Plan and Development Regulations in accordance with the provisions of
the Washington State Growth Management Act.
The Comprehensive Plan is a management tool that includes a Vision
Statement, Goals, and Policies that describe the preferred future for the
City of Liberty Lake.
The Development Regulations implement the Comprehensive Plan and
include the processing procedures, permitted uses, and standards
applicable to development activities in the City.
Periodic Review and Update Process (Continued)
The City initiated a process to update its Comprehensive Plan in the
Spring of 2015. This process included:
A review to determine what, if any, changes needed to be made in
order to remain in compliance with the Laws of Washington State.
A review by the City Management Team.
A review by local service providers.
A review by local developers and businesses.
Periodic Review and Update Process (Continued)
A Joint City Council/Planning Commission review meeting.
Numerous public meetings conducted by the Planning Commission to
discuss potential amendments.
Preparation of draft amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
A review of the draft amendments by the Planning Commission.
State agency review of the proposed amendments.
An environmental review of the proposed amendments.
Periodic Review and Update Process (Continued)
A public hearing conducted by the Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission recommending amendments to the City
Council for final review and approval.
The City Council approving the amendments to the Comprehensive
Plan on October 6, 2015.
By in large, the feedback received was very supportive of the general
direction of the City and the Comprehensive Plan. As a result the proposed
amendments primarily streamlined the document to make it more user
friendly and did not include significant changes in the Goals and Policies
of the City.
Periodic Review and Update Process (Continued)
City of Liberty Lake Vision Statement

enhances natural surroundings through the harmony of planned architectural
design and green space. Our community will achieve its quality of life by
creating a safe, friendly environment in which community involvement
promotes recreational opportunities and civic pride. Liberty Lake encourages
and supports leading edge technology and a progressive business
environment, which ensures a diverse, prosperous, and financially secure
community.
-Amended Liberty Lake Comprehensive Plan, October 6, 2015
Periodic Review and Update Process (Continued)
Following the adoption of the amended Comprehensive Plan, the City
initiated a process in the Spring of 2016 to review and update its
Development Regulations. This process included:
A review to determine what changes needed to be made to ensure that
the regulations remained consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
A review to determine what, if any, changes needed to be made in
order to remain in compliance with the Laws of Washington State.
A review by the City Management Team.
Periodic Review and Update Process (Continued)
A review by local service providers.
A review by local developers and businesses.
A Joint City Council/Planning Commission review meeting.
Numerous public meetings conducted by the Planning Commission to
discuss potential amendments.
Preparation of draft amendments to the Development Regulations.
Periodic Review and Update Process (Continued)
The adoption of a moratorium on mixed-use multi-family
developments so that the Planning Commission could conduct a
special review of multi-family housing development standards.
A review of the draft amendments by the Planning Commission.
State agency review of the proposed amendments.
An environmental review of the proposed amendments.
A public hearing conducted by the Planning Commission.
Periodic Review and Update Process (Continued)
The Planning Commission recommending amendments to the City
Council for final review and approval.
The City Council approving the amendments to the Development
Regulations on June 20, 2017.
The amendments included 17 changes to the City’s Development
Regulations, including:
Prohibiting certain uses including RV parks and mini-storage in the
Industrial Zone.
Clarifying numerous development standards including the multi-
family housing standards.
Periodic Review and Update Process (Continued)
Reducing the maximum building height to 70’ in the I, C-1, and C-2
zones.
The City has now completed its state mandated review and update of its
Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulations. No further action is
required.
The next state mandated review and update must be completed before
June 30, 2025.
In the interim, the City may solicit proposals and consider amendments
once a year, through a process known as docketing.
2. Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment
During the process of reviewing and updating the Comprehensive Plan and
Development Regulations a developer applied for and received a
conditional use permit to construct a RV park in the Industrial zone on a
parcel fronting Appleway Avenue, just west of Altek.
This project is vested under the Development Regulations in place at
the time the application was submitted and deemed to be complete.
The approved project includes 120 RV pads, a tent area, an office / rec
building, pool, tot lot, other amenities, and an 8’ frontage fence / wall.
RV’s are limited to 30 days occupancy in one place.
Similar projects could not be permitted in the Industrial zone under the
amended Development Regulations.
Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment
(Continued)
After receiving a Conditional Use Permit for the RV park, the developer
advised the City that he had an option to acquire several parcels north of
his proposed RV park, and that as an alternative to the RV park, he would
like to build a mixed use development with multi-family housing and an
RV park.
The original parcels are zoned Light Industrial (I) and the additional
parcels are zoned Light Industrial (I) and Freeway Commercial (C-2).
Multi-family housing is not a permitted use in either the C-2 or I zone
and RV Parks are currently not permitted in either zone.
Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment
(Continued)
As a result, the only way a mixed use development of this type could be
permitted at this site would be through a planned unit development or
PUD.
A PUD is a zoning overlay that is similar to a special area plan or a
master planned development.
One of the purposes of a PUD is to Encourage innovative planning
that results in more mixed use development, improved protection of
open spaces, and greater housing and transportation options.
The Meadowwood development is an example of a PUD and the River
District and Stonehill developments were approved through a process
similar to a PUD.
Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment
(Continued)
However, the PUD regulations limit uses to those permitted in
the underlying zoning district and those specifically identified
in the Comprehensive Plan.
Since multi-family housing and RV parks are not permitted in the C-2
and I zones, then the Comprehensive Plan must specifically identify
them as permitted uses.
The Comprehensive Plan states that Residential uses would typically
not be allowed within the freeway commercial category and makes no
reference to multi-family housing in the Light Industrial zone.
Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment
(Continued)
After considerable deliberation, the Planning Commission has
recommended that the Comprehensive Plan be amended as follows:
Freeway Commercial – The Freeway Commercial classification
designates intensive commercial areas to draw customers from
outlying areas….Residential uses would typically not be allowed
within the freeway commercial category, but transient housing (i.e. RV
park and hotel/motel, intended for rental less than 30 days) may be
permitted in mixed use, planned unit developments, south of I-90 and
west of Madson Street, to support and complement the Central
Business district and surrounding businesses. Light industrial areas
may be allowed in this category.
Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment
(Continued)
Light Industrial – The Light Industrial category is intended for
industrial areas that have a special emphasis and attention given to
aesthetics, landscaping, and internal and community compatibility.
Light industrial areas are comprised of predominantly industrial uses
such as manufacturing and high technology-oriented businesses, but
may incorporate office, commercial, and mixed use, planned unit
developments that support and complement the industrial area. Multi-
family housing and transient housing may be permitted mixed use,
planned unit developments west, of Madson Street, to support and
complement the central business district and surrounding businesses.
Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment
(Continued)
If these amendments are approved then any property owner with property
zoned C-2 or I, south of I-90 and west of Madson Street, including the
sponsor of the approved RV park, could submit a project specific
application for a mixed use, planned unit development that included a
hotel/motel, RV park, and/or multi-family housing.
If the amendments are not approved, project specific PUD applications
for properties zoned C-2 or I could only include uses permitted in the
Table of Permitted Uses. No multi-family developments or additional
RV parks could be permitted in these zones.
3. Subsequent Project Specific Development
Review
If the proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are approved,
then Project Sponsors could submit an application for a project specific
mixed use, planned unit development for parcels zoned C-2 or I, south of
I-90 and west of Madson Street for City review and approval. These
applications would be processed as a Type III application, which includes:
A Consistency Review to determine if the proposal is consistent with
the provisions of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Development
Regulations.
The distribution of a Notice of Application.
Subsequent Project Specific Development Review
(Continued)
A SEPA threshold determination and environmental review, as
applicable.
An open record public hearing conducted by the City Hearing Examiner.
Written Findings of Fact and a recommendation from the Hearing
Examiner to the City Council.
Review and approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the PUD
application by the City Council.
If approved, the execution of a Binding Site Plan, Development
Agreement, or other means of documenting the conditions of approval.
Subsequent Project Specific Development Review
(Continued)
It should also be noted, that prior to the incorporation of Liberty Lake,
Spokane County approved a Binding Site Plan for a 100-acre commercial
and industrial mixed use development generally in the area of East
Appleway Avenue, North Madson Street and North Molter Road. This
development is known as Liberty Lake Center.
Development in Liberty Lake Center is subject to private covenants, as
well as private design guidelines, and owners association bylaws.
The City is not a party to these private covenants, design guidelines, or
by-laws and has no enforcement authority. Implementation of these
provisions is solely the responsibility of the property owners.
Summary
The City has completed the state mandated review of its Comprehensive
Plan and Development Regulations. No further action is required at this
time.
The City Planning Commission has recommended an amendment to the
City Comprehensive Plan that would enable owners of property zoned C-2
and/or I, located south of I-90 and west of Madson Street, to submit
project specific, mixed use, planned unit development applications for City
review.
If the amendment is approved, then applications for project specific, mixed
use, planned unit developments that could include a hotel/motel, RV park,
and/or multi-family housing would be processed as Type III applications
and subject to City Council review and approval.

Liberty Lake Comprehensive Plan
Revised Land Use Chapter 5
Planning Commission Recommendation
April 12, 2017
A. Introduction
The Land Use Chapter sets the stage for a vibrant, sustainable, family-orientated community through the
balanced allocation of land for housing, commerce, industry, recreation, transportation, open space,
cultural resources, and other uses. It accommodates growth, while preserving the character of
established neighborhoods and protecting them from intrusion of incompatible uses by using innovative
land development concepts and techniques.
City of Liberty Lake Existing Land Area and Use
Existing Residential: Residential development within the city limits of Liberty Lake began back in the
late 1970's with the start of the Liberty Lake Heights subdivision. Unlike developments that would soon
follow, the Heights was not a Planned Unit Development (PUD), however the neighborhood did have
covenants that governed the neighborhood. By 1987, full scale development had begun with the
Homestead and Meadowwood subdivisions. By August 31, 2001, when the City officially incorporated,
the majority of the City had PUD residential neighborhoods. Most of these neighborhoods were
considered low to medium density residential units. Only a small portion of the residences within the
City were high density residential. The majority of the residences within the City are located north of
Sprague Avenue, south of Mission, and east of Liberty Lake Road, with Country Vista and Molter Road
intersecting them.
Existing Commercial: The City has numerous professional offices and retail businesses with more
commercial developments planned and or under construction. Commercial land is found along Liberty
Lake Road, Country Vista, Mission, Harvard Road, Knox Avenue, and Appleway. The highly intensive
commercial use designations occur along Appleway, Liberty Lake Road, and Country Vista. The retail
commercial development is mostly on a regional scale and consists of two anchored retail strip centers
on Liberty Lake Road and two unanchored retail strip centers, one on the eastern end of Appleway and
one on Mission at the north end of town. There are various freestanding retail, food service, auto
dealerships, and hospitality operations in the vicinity of the retail strip centers.
Existing Industrial: Industrial uses within the City are light industrial uses such as electronics, high tech,
and assembly manufacturing. Several pieces of industrial land are being used for commercial uses. The
industrial area is located north of Mission Avenue and south of Interstate 90. There are five major
corridors located in the industrial area consisting of Madson, Appleway, Molter, Mission and Knox.
Existing Open Space and Recreation: Since the majority of the area within the city limits began as a
master planned satellite community, a large portion of the land has open space and recreational uses.
Within the City, there are three golf courses and Pavilion Park, a large City park that is utilized for many
community activities. Pavillion Park is located on the southwest corner of Country Vista and Molter Road
within the residential area. Meadowwood Golf Course runs through the residential area and is north of
Valleyway and east of Molter Road Liberty Lake Golf Course is the oldest course and it is located south
of Valleyway, east of Molter Road, and north of Sprague Avenue with residences on eastern side. The
City's Trailhead Golf Course, formerly known as ValleyView, is located at the eastern edge of Liberty
Liberty Lake Comprehensive Plan
Revised Land Use Chapter 5
PC Recommendation
April 12, 2017
Lake Rd, south of Country Vista, and on the western edge of residences. The City contains a trail system
and smaller neighborhood parks throughout as well as access to the Centennial Trail on our north side.
City of Liberty Lake Future Land Use
The City of Liberty Lake is unique in that all residential areas of the City have been platted or have an
approved special area plan to guide the nature and intensity of future development. As a result, it is
possible to calculate the population of the City at build-out as approximately 16,000.
Planning Principles
The following planning principles, developed through citizen participation efforts, form the basis for
development of the Land Use Chapter.
- Compact urban forms should be encouraged that create a greater sense of “community,” with
pedestrian/bicycle-friendly settlement patterns. Neighborhood character should be preserved
and protected.
- Jobs, housing, services and other activities should be within easy walking distance and shorter
commute times of each other.
- The City of Liberty Lake should have a center focus that combines commercial, civic, cultural,
and recreational uses.
- Streets, pedestrian paths, and bike paths should contribute to a system of fully interconnected
routes.
- The City of Liberty Lake should have a diversity of housing and job types that enable residents
from a wide range of economic levels and age groups to work and reside within the City's
boundaries.
B. History and Background
The City of Liberty Lake contains a mix of land uses including single and multi-family dwellings,
recreational areas including parks, trails, and golf courses, light manufacturing, and mostly regional
scaled commercial, including two large grocery stores. Professional office buildings, restaurants, schools,
and churches are also found with undeveloped land still available and suitable for residential,
commercial, and industrial growth.
At the initial startup of the City of Liberty Lake it was recommended to and approved by the City Council
to adopt by reference the Spokane County Comprehensive Plan which pre-dated the Growth
Management Act (GMA) and the Spokane County Zoning Code dated November 1998 to maintain the
status quo until the City adopted its own Comprehensive Plan and Implementation Regulations. The
Liberty Lake Comprehensive Plan
Revised Land Use Chapter 5
PC Recommendation
April 12, 2017
City has since adopted its own Comprehensive Plan or Future Land Use Map and an Official Zoning Map.
The Future Land Use Map features the following land use designations:
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Categories
1. Residential Categories
a. Single-Family - The Single-Family designation provides for single-family homes in support of
established residential neighborhoods. This designation is the primary residential
designation in the city.
b. Mixed Residential - The Mixed Residential designation provides for a moderate increase in
density using a variety of urban housing types and designs. This design oriented designation
promotes residential renewal to small-lot single family homes, townhouses, duplexes, and
small apartment buildings. The mix of housing may take a variety of forms, either mixed
within a single site or mixed within a general area, with varied dwelling types. Developments
within this designation should have a net density of no less than 6 units per acre.
c. Multi-Family - The Multi-Family designation provides for a variety of medium to high density
housing types and designs. The designation incorporates a combination of urban design
elements to enhance the living environment while integrating the housing into a
neighborhood or neighborhood business district. Urban design elements such as private and
public open space, pedestrian orientation and connections, and security are integrated into
the housing to create a high standard of community cohesion and character. Developments
within this designation should have a net density of no less than 12 units per acre.
2. Mixed-use Area – Mixed-use areas are intended to enhance service options, encourage
development of locally serving commercial uses, offices, light manufacturing, civic, recreational,
and residential uses along transportation corridors identified on the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan Map 5.1. Mixed-use areas discourage low-intensity, auto-dependent uses and focus on a
pedestrian orientation with an emphasis on aesthetics and design.
Mixed-use Categories
Mixed-use areas include “centers” and “corridors.” Urban centers and corridors provide focus
points to the design of urban areas. Urban centers distributed spatially throughout the urban
area provide for retail sales, services, government and business offices, recreation facilities,
higher-density residences, and other high-intensity uses to serve the needs of surrounding
residential areas. The Comprehensive Plan provides for three types of mixed-use centers,
Neighborhood, Community, and Central Business District. The three types of centers are
distinguished by scale and intensity. Neighborhood Centers are the smallest and least intensive,
Community Centers are higher intensity, and the Central Business District, which is the largest
and most intensely developed. The Central Business District provides for the widest range of
uses. Mixed-use categories include the following:
Liberty Lake Comprehensive Plan
Revised Land Use Chapter 5
PC Recommendation
April 12, 2017
a. Neighborhood Centers – Mixed-use centers for neighborhoods will ideally have identified
neighborhood centers containing a civic green or park, a transit stop, neighborhood
businesses and services, a day care center, and perhaps a church or school, and residential
when associated with other permitted uses.
b. Community Centers - Community centers are higher-intensity mixed-use areas designed to
serve two or more neighborhoods. Community centers may have a mix of uses, including
commercial, civic, light manufacturing or industrial, office, recreational uses, and residential
when associated with the other permitted uses.
c. Central Business District - The CBD is the primary retail, office, social, urban residential, and
government center of the city (Map 5.2). The complementary and interactive mixture of
uses and urban design provides for a regional intensity and viability with a local character.
The regional focus and vitality of the district are evident in the urban intensity and
composition of the uses in the district. Local character is reflected in the district’s design,
people-orientation, and connectivity, which foster a sense of community. The CBD is
intended to attract significant numbers of additional office and retail jobs as well as
opportunities for new higher density housing.
3. Commercial Categories
a. Freeway Commercial - The Freeway Commercial classification designates intensive
commercial areas intended to draw customers from outlying areas. Interstate 90 is an
aesthetic corridor and specific guidelines will be established to enhance the aesthetics of
the Interstate 90 frontages. Shopping centers and major commercial areas of regional
significance will be designated with this classification. Residential uses would typically not
be allowed within the freeway commercial category, but transient housing (i.e. RV park and
hotel/motel, intended for rental less than 30 days) may be permitted in mixed use, planned
unit developments, south of I-90 and west of Madson Street, to support and complement
the Central Business District and surrounding businesses. Light industrial areas may be
allowed in this category.
b. Community Commercial - The Community Commercial classification designates areas for
retail, service, and office establishments intended to serve several neighborhoods.
Community business areas should be located as business clusters rather than arterial strip
commercial development. Community business centers may be designated through the
adoption of the Comprehensive Plan or Comprehensive Plan amendments. Residences in
conjunction with business and/or multifamily developments may be allowed, with specific
guidelines that ensure compatibility.
c. Neighborhood Commercial - The Neighborhood Commercial classification designates areas
for small-scale, neighborhood-serving retail and office uses. Neighborhood business areas
should be located as business clusters rather than arterial strip commercial development.
Liberty Lake Comprehensive Plan
Revised Land Use Chapter 5
PC Recommendation
April 12, 2017
Neighborhood business centers may be designated through the adoption of the
Comprehensive Plan or Comprehensive Plan amendments
4. Industrial Category
a. Light Industrial - The Light Industry category is intended for industrial areas that have a
special emphasis and attention given to aesthetics, landscaping, and internal and
community compatibility. Light Industrial areas are comprised of predominantly industrial
uses such as manufacturing and high technology-oriented businesses, but may incorporate
office, and commercial, and mixed use planned unit developments uses that support and
complement the industrial area. Multi-family housing and transient housing may be
permitted in mixed use, planned unit developments, west of Madson Street, to support and
complement the Central Business District and surrounding businesses.
5. Public and Semi-Public Institutional Uses. The Public and Semi-Public Institutional land use
designation provides for large and moderate scale governmental uses, special districts, and
semi-institutional uses. The designation allows for the specialized needs of providing public
services to the City of Liberty Lake.
6. Open Space and Recreation. The Open Space and Recreation designation provides for open area
spaces and recreational uses such as public/ private parks, preserves, and trails, as well as public
and privately owned facilities such as golf courses. Local and regional recreation opportunities
are included within this designation. The designation promotes the conservation of public and
private sensitive or critical natural resource areas and areas of local interest as open space.
7. Aesthetic Corridors and Boulevards. Aesthetic corridors and boulevards are intended to protect
the visual appeal of the area along major transportation routes entering, exiting, and circulating
through the City of Liberty Lake

MEMORANDUM 6/23/2017
To: Katie Allen, Andrew Staples
From: Ken Van Voorhis
Re: Orchard Park
Comments:
Dear Ms. Allen and Mr. Staples
The Orchard park AE team led by SPVV Landscape Architects has prepared design fees as requested
by the City Administration. As you know the project is currently on hold at the 90% status because
of a change in direction. In meeting held on June 19, 2017 the City staff presented the Cities current
thoughts a well as a change of scope that the city has requested our team to respond to. The
following is a brief description of the changes that have been requested:
The City has asked the team to consider fee and scoping impacts as follows:
Option I
Move the recreation courts to the south end of the site in the grassy open area and preserve the
recreation court pad for a future simple rectangular pool tub. Included in this line of thinking would
be to move the current Restroom/Storage building to the west side of the splash pad and add onto
the structure a concessions extension. Under this option it is believed that regarding would be
minimal, Utilities would be extended to the proposed location, landscape improvements would be
adjusted including the picnic shelter relocation, and irrigation would be revised to address the
changes.
Option II
Move the recreation courts to the south end of the site in the grassy open space, preserve the
recreation court pad for a future simple rectangular pool tub. Included in this line of thinking would
be to design a Restroom/Storage/pool mechanical/concession building at the west side of the
splash pad. Under this option re-grading for a larger building would be required along with the
possibility of an expanded parking lot along the north. Utilities would be sized for a pool facility and
would be extended from the north side to the building location. Relocate the community garden,
adjusts site elements including the picnic shelter, and irrigation would be revised to address the
changes.

Along with the two options we were requested to provide an update to the master plan illustration
for the purpose of a public input meeting in early August. This public meeting will be used to inform
the council of the proposed plan changes and determine the general public sentiment about the
proposed direction. Once this is complete Council will give the team a direction to proceed. The
thought is to have updated construction documents complete and ready to go to bid by November
if possible or early January.
The following is a brief schedule that we will update as information becomes available:
June 23 Scope and fee to SPVV to forward to CLL
July 12 Preliminary building programming discussion with CLL (SPVV/CAC)
Aug 1 Master Plan option illustration final review by CLL (SPVV/CAC)
Aug 7 Public Open House with Master Plan and Master Plan proposed changes
Aug 8 Presentation to City Council about public opinion regarding MP changes
Aug 9-Nov. 1 (Jan 5) Prepare CD’s for Bid release.
The following fee schedule represents the A&E effort for the above referenced tasks. The initial
update to the Orchard Park Master Plan (2016) includes a limited review of values associated with
site construction impacts. Public meeting planning efforts and an initial program review with City
staff, illustration updates representing the current 90% plan documents and an illustration
representing the schematic programming that represents option II. This effort also includes a
presentation at a public open house and one City Council meeting.
Total A&E fee $7500
The following fee, (is an estimated range), of A&E service to integrate option I into the current 90%
bid set. This integration effort will not be fully understood until after the Public and City Council
meeting in August. Once this has been completed a more definitive fee will be presented for action
and approval.
Option I as described Additional A&E Fees $35,000-$43,000. Estimated overall
construction cost $2.7+/-M
The following fee, (is an estimated range), of A&E service to integrate option II into the current 90%
bid set. This integration effort will not be fully understood until after the Public and City Council
meeting in August. Once this has been completed a more definitive fee will be presented for action
and approval.
Option II as described A&E Fees $135,000 – $150,000. Estimated overall
construction cost $3.8+/-M
