Two buildings (1230 N Division St, 2015 N Elm St) are scheduled for demolition within 600 feet of the Emerson-Garfield neighborhood.
The City of Spokane is required to solicit public comments and concerns before accepting the demolition applications. Residents have 10 calendar days to submit their comments to permitmanager@spokanecity.org before demolition can begin.
Per the stipulations of the Neighborhood Notification process, we’re publicizing this request for comments (RFC), SEPA Checklist, and map (attached to the end of the checklist) for the following proposed project within Emerson-Garfield’s boundaries:
Project Name: Demolition of Existing Buildings
Permit #: B1600646SEPA
Site Address: 1220 & 1230 N Division St
Please direct any questions or comments to Certified Plans Examiner, Mike Penkunis, at mpenkunis@spokanecity.org. The corresponding documents are:
As part of a citywide effort to keep neighborhoods better informed of land use decisions, the City has begun distributing RFCs (requests for comments) to the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council whenever there’s a zoning or parcel change relevant to our neighborhood. The last time they did this was for the construction of a broadcast tower at the back of the new Spokane Public Radio building.
The current RFC is designated the “Miller” Preliminary City Short Plat (file no. Z1500069PSP) and concerns the parcel(s) at 1728 and 1730 W Buckeye. The proposal is to split one parcel that currently has two single-family residential units on it into two lots.
You can download the property owner’s application, which describes what sort of changes have been requested, and you can download the request for comments, which contains the City’s own summary of the change as well as contact information.
Usually these RFCs are pretty anodyne (as this one appears to be), but we prefer to be proactive with information rather than have folks find out about changes after the fact.
Any comments should be directed to Dave Compton, Assistant Planner, at dcompton@spokanecity.org or (509) 625-6089.
The City has just issued a Request for Comments (RFC) for a property along the Emerson-Garfield border. It concerns Spokane Public Radio‘s construction of a broadcast tower at the back of their new building (1225 N Monroe).
The site plan for the broadcast tower installation (permit no. Z1500005CEL2) is pictured above. It’s pretty straightforward and not at all unexpected. We’re posting this information as an FYI, not a matter of urgent concern.
You can download the RFC and the environmental checklist for review. Any comments should be directed to Dave Compton, Assistant Planner, at dcompton@spokanecity.org or (509) 625-6089.
