Council expedites PUD overlay for Victory Heights development at West Thorpe Road
Summary
Council suspended rules and advanced a first reading to create a Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay zone for a Victory Heights development at 2747 W. Thorpe Road so the developer could keep construction timelines.
The Spokane City Council voted to suspend its rules and advance a first reading to establish a Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay zone for property at 2747 West Thorpe Road, part of the Victory Heights development. A staff speaker described the overlay as an administrative map change required after the council had denied an appeal, explaining that the PUD had been established and the ordinance simply updates the zoning map to show the overlay.
City staff said the developer had expected an earlier timeline to begin work and that the suspension and expedited first reading were requested to reduce delay; the staff speaker stated parties had "penciled in July 21 based on our recommendation" but asked the council to move the ordinance up so the developer could proceed sooner. The council suspended the rules and approved first-reading scheduling for July 14 with final consideration set for July 21.
The action at the agenda-review meeting was procedural: establishing the overlay on the zoning map is part of the PUD approval process and the transcript does not include discussion of substantive site development conditions or permit approvals.
