counseling, emergency and transitional housing, and other supportive services so that they can
escape the cycle of abuse, and

SUMMARY STATEMENT
The City received three privately initiated Development Code Amendments in 2018. At the October 2nd City Council
meeting, City Council workshopped the first two proposed code amendments :
• LUA2018-0036(regarding bonding requirements on fee simple residential projects).
• LUA2018-0037 (regarding RV Storage in the River District RD-M Zone).
Based upon comments from the applicant, City Council requested that staff bring back potential amendments to the
code language for LUA2018-0037, to provide for RV Storage to be treated as a conditional use permit, and to provide
additional standards for such use.
The third amendment, LUA 2018-0038, regarding the elimination of minimum and maximum lot sizes in the R-2 zone,
will also be workshopped on October 16, 2018. The purpose of this workshop is to give City Council the opportunity
to ask questions of the applicant and seek clarification on these proposed code amendments.
A public hearing for all three code amendments is tentatively scheduled for November 6, 2018.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
None at this time.

RELEVANT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS & POLICIES:
Governance Policy 1: The City shall use the website, email, social media, newsletters, local newspapers,
special announcements and other techniques to keep the community well-informed.
Housing Goal 1: Preserve the character of existing neighborhoods and support high quality new
development.
Land Use Policy 1: Encourage developers to work with neighborhoods to develop plans that address
neighborhood concerns, such as environmental protection, aesthetics, quality of life, property values, and
preservation of open space.
Planning Commission Findings, Conclusions & Recommendations 4
2018 Development Code Text Amendment LUA2018-0037 / CPA2018-0002
Urban Design Policy 1: Maintain design standards and a design review process to ensure that
neighborhood and community centers are developed with minimal impact on surrounding land uses, are
consistent with community character, and assure pedestrian and vehicular access.
Urban Design Policy 19: Maintain design standards and land use plans for neighborhood centers,
community centers, and the Central Business District that are based on the following principles:
c. Unsightly views, such as heavy machinery, storage areas, loading docks, and parking
areas, should be screened from the view of adjacent uses and from arterials. [relevant
excerpt only]
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Currently, “outdoor vehicle storage” is not allowed in any zone within the River District. According to the
applicant, they receive many requests for onsite RV storage so residents and non-residents do not have
to travel to store and access their RVs. The applicant indicates that developed correctly with appropriate
screening, any impacts to surrounding properties can be mitigated.
The proposed amendment adds “Recreational Vehicle Storage” as a separate category within the matrix,
thus distinguishing it from the category “vehicle storage”. Because the use is not currently allowed in any
zone in the River District, no design or landscaping standards are provided for such uses in RD-SAP 08-
001. Screening and landscaping standards for this use have been added as a footnote to the River District
Zoning Matrix, referencing Liberty Lake Municipal Code §10-3C-3(G), as detailed below:
A. Screening of Mechanical Equipment, Outdoor Storage, and Loading Areas. All mechanical
equipment, outdoor storage and manufacturing areas, and loading, service, and delivery areas,
shall be screened from view from all public streets and any Residential Zones. Screening shall be
provided by one or more of the following (minimum of 6 feet tall):
1. Decorative wall (i.e., masonry or similar quality material),
2. Evergreen hedge,
3. Sight-obscuring fence, or
4. Similar feature that provides a non-see through barrier.
Walls, fences, and hedges shall comply with the vision clearance requirements (Section 10-3B-2,
subsection N) and provide for pedestrian circulation, in accordance with Article 10-3B - Access and
Circulation. (See Section 10-3C-5 for standards related to fences and walls.)
It should be noted that recreational vehicles are generally taller than the minimum height of 6 feet.
Alternately, the Planning Commission may want to consider a modification to the proposed amendment,
listing this as a limited use (“L”) in the matrix, and proposing some additional design standards and
limitations, which may include, but not limited to additional screening height requirements.
FINDINGS:
1. The required SEPA review has been completed on the proposed amendment.
2. All public and agency notice requirements were met and accomplished in a timely manner.
3. The public was provided the opportunity for early and continuous participation.
Planning Commission Findings, Conclusions & Recommendations 5
2018 Development Code Text Amendment LUA2018-0037 / CPA2018-0002
4. The public had the opportunity to submit written comments and testify at a public hearing before
the Planning Commission.
CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL:
The criteria for approval of a code amendment are established in City Code §10-4B-5(A), which states:
A. Criteria for Amendment:
The City may amend development regulations when it finds that any of the following applies:
1. Such amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is not detrimental to the
public welfare;
2. Change in economic, technological, or land use conditions has occurred to warrant
modification;
3. It is found that an amendment is necessary to correct an error;
4. It is found that an amendment is necessary to clarify meaning or intent;
5. It is found that an amendment is necessary to provide for a use(s) that was not previously
addressed; or
6. Those amendments as deemed necessary by the City Council as being in the public interest.
DELIBERATIONS:
In deliberations, Commissioner Siler stated that the proposal does not have any support in Comprehensive
Plan Policy, nor does it provide any mechanism for addressing or enforcing on aesthetics. Commissioner
Green indicated that, in his opinion, the proposal had the potential to generate “ill-will amongst
neighbors”. Commissioner Matthews was concerned that the proposal would “grant special privilege to
a small percentage of Liberty Lake residents”, and that there was sufficient supply of recreational vehicle
storage within 10 minutes of Liberty Lake. He also expressed concerns that there was no limit on how
large the recreational vehicle storage lots could be. Commissioner Baird indicated that she felt the
proposal was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies, including that Housing Goal #1,
which supports high quality, new development, could be addressed through additional design standards;
that it was addressing neighborhood concerns, consistent with Land Use Policy #1; that Urban Design
Policy # 1 could be addressed through additional design standards; that it was a new use, design standards
should be developed, consistent with Urban Design Policy # 19. She also noted that the district was
directly adjacent to a legal non-conforming storage facility. Commissioner Folyer indicated that he
struggled with whether this was consistent with the Urban Design Policy related to consistency with
community character, but indicated that this approval of the proposal would only be the start of a larger
discussion regarding design standards. Chairman Jochim indicated that he was concerned about the
potential number of units per site, and that it might better be considered as a limited use with design
standards and appropriate screening regulations.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed amendment NOT consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and IS detrimental to
the public welfare (two of seven Commissioners dissented with this conclusion).
2. The proposed amendment IS NOT warranted by a change in economic, technological and/or land
use conditions.
Planning Commission Findings, Conclusions & Recommendations 6
2018 Development Code Text Amendment LUA2018-0037 / CPA2018-0002
3. The proposed amendment IS NOT necessary to correct an error.
4. The proposed amendment IS NOT necessary to clarify meaning or intent.
5. The proposed amendment IS necessary to provide for a proposed use that was not previously
addressed (two of seven Commissioners dissented with this conclusion).
6. The proposed amendment IS NOT deemed necessary as being in the public interest (one of seven
Commissioners dissented with this conclusion.
RECOMMENDATION:
In the matter of Case No. LUA2018-0037 / CPA2018-0002, a request for amendment to Section 4.1 of
RDSAP 08-001, the River District Zoning Matrix, to include recreational vehicle storage as an
allowable use in the RD-M (River District – Neighborhood Center) zone, the City of Liberty Lake
Planning Commission recommends to City Council that the amendment be NOT APPROVED, by a vote of
6-1.
Ratified by the City of Liberty Lake Planning Commission on the 8th day of August, 2018.

SEPA Checklists were completed for the proposed Comprehensive Plan & Development Code
Amendments. The City of Liberty Lake Planning & Building Services determined that the proposals, as non-
project reviews, would have no significant adverse environmental impacts and issued a Determination of
Non-significance (DNS) and Adoption of Existing Environmental Document on the 2018 Development
Code Text Amendments on June 13, 2018. The City adopted the Spokane County Final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement for the Spokane County Comprehensive Plan that was prepared on
November 22, 2000 and was previously adopted for the original City of Liberty Lake Comprehensive Plan
and Development Code, as well as the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Liberty Lake
Urban Growth Area Boundary Alternatives that was prepared on December 13, 2006. The Notice of
Availability, SEPA Checklist and Threshold Determination, and Amendment Lists were routed to agencies
on June 11, 2018 and a Notice of Availability was posted at the Liberty Lake Municipal Library and at City
Hall, as well as being published in the June 15, 2018 edition of the Valley News Herald. On June 13, 2018,
the Notice of Availability, SEPA Checklist and Threshold Determination, and Amendment Lists were also
posted on the City website, and the notice and a link to the City website was emailed to the public notice

RELEVANT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS & POLICIES:
Governance Policy 1: The City shall use the website, email, social media, newsletters, local newspapers,
special announcements and other techniques to keep the community well-informed.
Housing Goal 1: Preserve the character of existing neighborhoods and support high quality new
development.
Housing Goal 2: Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments, promote a
variety of densities and housing types, and encourage the preservation of existing housing stock.
Land Use Policy 1: Encourage developers to work with neighborhoods to develop plans that address
neighborhood concerns, such as environmental protection, aesthetics, quality of life, property values, and
preservation of open space.
Housing Policy 2: Periodically assess the effects of policies and regulations on the affordability of housing,
fair housing choice, and examine the need to reduce regulatory barriers.
Housing Policy 3: When developing housing regulations, consider the balance between housing
affordability and environmental quality, design quality, public resources, and maintenance of
neighborhood character.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The applicant indicates that this will provide greater flexibility in the R-2 zone, since currently, a smaller
home on a narrow lot in that does not require a 5,000 sq. ft. lot is not allowed; and, conversely if a person
wants to do a unique product with a detached type of garage on a lot greater than 10,000 sq. ft., that also
is not permitted. Density and lot coverage provision, as well as setback requirements would still drive the
number of units and overall intensity of development.
The proposed amendment would apply to the Mission Villas Subdivision (south of Mission Avenue, and
along E Maxwell Drive on the north side of I-90); Homestead –The Cottages PUD along E Maxwell Avenue
on the south side of I-90); Meadowwood Village Phase II PUD (on the north side of E Valley Avenue); and,
the undeveloped northern portion of Rock Hill North. Of those developments, both the Homestead – The
Planning Commission Findings, Conclusions & Recommendations 5
2018 Development Code Text Amendment LUA2018-0038 / CPA2018-0003
Cottages PUD and Meadowwood Villas Phase II are completely built-out, and Mission Villas Subdivision is
largely built-out. Only Rock Hills North would likely be impacted by the amendment.
FINDINGS:
1. The required SEPA review has been completed on the proposed amendment.
2. All public and agency notice requirements were met and accomplished in a timely manner.
3. The public was provided the opportunity for early and continuous participation.
4. The public had the opportunity to submit written comments and testify at a public hearing before
the Planning Commission.
CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL:
The criteria for approval of a code amendment are established in City Code §10-4B-5(A), which states:
A. Criteria for Amendment:
The City may amend development regulations when it finds that any of the following applies:
1. Such amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is not detrimental to the
public welfare;
2. Change in economic, technological, or land use conditions has occurred to warrant
modification;
3. It is found that an amendment is necessary to correct an error;
4. It is found that an amendment is necessary to clarify meaning or intent;
5. It is found that an amendment is necessary to provide for a use(s) that was not previously
addressed; or
6. Those amendments as deemed necessary by the City Council as being in the public interest.
DELIBERATIONS:
In deliberations, Commissioner Siler indicated his only concern had been with regard to maximum lot size,
but that concern was addressed by the requirement for development to comply with minimum and
maximum density requirements, as established by the Comprehensive Plan, and explicitly required in
development code. Commissioner Baird indicated that the proposal addresses the need for a variety of
housing types, and meets Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. Commissioner Folyer concurred that it
met all six relevant Comprehensive Plan goals. Chairman Jochim indicated that he was not concerned
about maximum lot sizes, he was nervous about eliminating the minimum lot size, and felt that more
study of the issue was warranted.
CONCLUSIONS:
In reviewing the application, the Planning Commission made the following conclusions in consideration of
their recommendation:
Planning Commission Findings, Conclusions & Recommendations 6
2018 Development Code Text Amendment LUA2018-0038 / CPA2018-0003

RE: Proposed amendment to City Development Code §10-2C-7, to eliminate minimum and maximum lot
areas in the R-2 zone.
Dear Ms. Key:
Thank you for sending Growth Management Services the proposed amendments to Liberty Lake’s
development regulations that we received on August 22, 2018, and processed with Material ID No.
25210.
Commerce would like to express our support for these proposed amendments. Commerce considers the
practice of governing density directly, rather than relying on minimum lot size, a best practice in the
implementation of your plan. Underlying density requirements remain in your code, but this allows more
flexibility, while remaining consistent with your comprehensive plan densities. By removing prescriptive
lot sizes, property owners get a clearer picture of the number of lots they can create during subdivision.
Subdivision development can then focus on design considerations, rather than maximizing lot yield.
Congratulations to you and your staff for the good work these amendments represent. If you have any
questions or concerns about our comments or any other growth management issues, please contact me at
509.434.4491. We extend our continued support to the City of Liberty Lake in achieving the goals of
growth management.
Sincerely,
Dave Andersen

Re: Henry Road Maintenance Yard
Dear Steven:
Based on our earlier conversations and your additional discussions with Frank, we have prepared a scope and fee for
the preliminary site grading plan on the City property on Henry Road. When we originally talked you were interested
in completing the project in phases, but we had concerns about work effot having to be duplicated depending on
how the project was phased. After doing a little more research on the project, I think there are enough unknowns
with the utilities, future buildngs, and frontage improvements that it woLild be difficult to accurately try to scope or
design the project now. We have included a task item with a few hours in it to coordinate with the local utility
purveyors to try and get some direction on what options are available to get service.
The attached scope and fee is to complete a survey of the site and prepare a SEPA checklist and site grading plans to
allow the City to either construct the improvements themselves or use a contractor from the roster. There are a
couple of topics that think it wojid be good to discuss and get cleared before moving forward with the project, just
to make sure we are thinking long term and following City development requirements.
• We would recommend the City work wth a geotechnical engineer to evaluate the site and ensure that we
don’t have any undocumented or unconsolidated fill in the project area that needs to be address during the
grading procedure, to avoid problems with future building construction.
o We would be happy to add a geotechnical engineer to our team to cover this work if desired by the
City, but at the current time have not included it.
• We recommend that the City also work with a geotechnical engineer during the Construction and grading
activtes to observe and document the compaction efforts, so that the Site is ready for the future buliding
and parking improvements.
• It is very likely that any fencing installed along Henry Road at this time will need to be removed during the
future phases to accommodate the road widening and site and parking design. We can make sure that the
fencing installed to accommodate the potential future removal, to minimize the impact.
• I think it wouid also be prudent to have a meeting with the City planning, engineering, and buiiding
departments to ensure that it is allowable to complete the proposed project without Going paving or other
hard surfacing and full storm drainage improvements.
