ANALYSIS
The Franklin County Historical Society proposes to construct a detached annex
building that will be an extension of the existing Franklin County museum. Per
the PMC, the use of a historic place may be requested via Special Permit for uses
not otherwise permitted within the applicable district. The site is zoned R-3
(Medium Density Residential), as is much of the surrounding area. The annex
building will be used for storage of the museum's material cultural collections—
which are currently stored off-site—and general exhibition space, including a
new Mid-Columbia Agriculture Hall of Fame display. The proposed building is a
3,500 square-foot pre-engineered steel structure that will be placed to the east
of the existing museum on what is currently three separate parcels; however, the
applicant has applied with the Franklin County Assessor's Office to combine the
three into one parcel.
Once the annex building is constructed, the Franklin County Historical Society
has plans to partner with the local WSU Master Gardeners and Franklin County
Conservation District Heritage Garden Program to create and maintain a series
of raised beds for a demonstration heritage garden east of the proposed building.
The applicant intends to complement the appearance of the existing museum
with a stucco, metal, and glass exterior as illustrated in the attached figure. The
museum is classified as a National Historic Site and was constructed as a
Carnegie Library in 1911, though used as a museum since the 1980s. Dr.
Richard Scheuerman, Director of the Franklin County Historical Society, affirms,
"Members of the Fishook Jim Snake River-Palouse Indian band have been
frequent guests in recent years at museum programs featuring Native American
culture, and a new exhibit (installed October 2017) presents a range of tribal
perspectives on area land use. Elders from the band (e.g., Carrie Jim Schuster)
have been interviewed extensively and have given no indication of specific
cultural use of the property."
STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Findings of Fact must be entered from the record. The following are initial
findings drawn from the background and analysis section of the staff report. The
Planning Commission may add additional findings to this listing as the result of
factual testimony and evidence submitted during the open record hearing.
1. The site is located at on three parcels addressed 419, 421, and 425 W
Bonneville Street.
2. The applicant has applied at the Franklin County Assessor's Office to
combine the three parcels into one.
3. The site is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential).
2
4. The site is located immediately to the east of the Franklin County Museum.
S. The annex building will be an extension of the existing museum to be used
for storage and exhibition space.
6. The annex building will be 3,500 square feet in size and constructed out of
stucco, metal, and glass.
7. The museum is classified as a National Historic Site.
8. The use of a historic place may be requested via Special Permit for uses not
otherwise permitted within the applicable district.
9. The museum was constructed as a Carnegie Library in 1911 and is
classified as a national historic site but has been used as a museum since
the 1980s.
CONCLUSIONS BASED ON STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a special permit the Planning
Commission must develop findings of fact from which to draw its conclusions
based upon the criteria listed in PMC 25.86.060. The criteria are as follows:
(1) Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives
and text of the Comprehensive Plan?
Comprehensive Plan Policy LU-2-B encourages fostering of adequate provisions
for educational and cultural facilities throughout the urban growth area, which
includes informative exhibits.
(2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure?
The proposal will generate little demand for public utilities such as water and
sewer. Traffic generation of the proposal will be minimal and easily
accommodated by the existing road system.
(3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in
harmony with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity?
The applicant intends to closely match the appearance of the existing museum
by constructing the annex building of stucco, glass, metal, and glass. Based on
the submitted site plan and elevations, however, it appears the museum and
annex building are markedly dissimilar in overall style. The museum's exterior
is predominantly stucco while the annex building's exterior is predominantly
metal. This inconsistency may result in the construction of a building that
disrupts the general character of the neighborhood.
3
(4) Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site design
discourage the development of permitted uses on property in the general
vicinity or impair the value thereof?
The maximum height of the proposed annex building is 22 feet. To compare, the
maximum building height of structures in the R-3 zoning district is 35 feet,
provided the rear setback is adequate. The height of the building will likely not
result in any nuisance situations; however, the appearance of the building may.
Though staff does not anticipate the proposed building discouraging further
development in the area, its appearance may contrast appreciably with
surrounding structures.
(5) Will the operations in connection with the proposal be more objectionable to
nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic, or
flashing lights than would be the operation of any permitted uses within the
district?
The annex building can be considered an extension of the existing museum and
will not create any nuisance conditions for surrounding properties. The R-3 zone
permits multi-family residential uses with generally higher levels of adverse
impacts than the proposed museum annex building and is not expected to create
adverse impacts to other permitted uses.
(6) Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and
developed where proposed, or in any way will become a nuisance to uses
permitted in the district?
It is expected that the proposed annex building will not cause harm to public
health and safety and that the associated activity will not become a nuisance to
permitted uses in the vicinity.
APPROVAL CONDITIONS
1. The Special Permit shall apply to tax parcel # 112052261, 112052252,
112052243, and any new parcel number created from the combination of
these three parcels;
2. No outdoor storage of equipment, projects, or materials shall be allowed;
3. The applicant shall comply with all building code requirements for the
occupancy class applicable to the use;
4. The applicant shall install a minimum 5-foot wide landscaping strip
consisting of 65% live vegetation along the frontage of W Bonneville Street;
5. The storage containers on parcel # 112052243 must be removed before
the proposed building may be constructed;
6. The proposed building must be equipped with a fire sprinkler and fire
alarm system.
4
7. A fire hydrant is required on the same side of the street within 400 feet of
the furthest point of the proposed building. A second hydrant, also on the
same side of the street, must be within 100 feet of the fire department
connection. None of the required hydrants can be located on the west side
of N 4th Avenue. Additional hydrants must be installed to comply with the
minimum Code requirements.
8. The Special Permit shall be null and void if all necessary building permits
have not been obtained by December 31, 2020.
RECOMMENDATION
MOTION: I move to continue the public hearing on the proposed special permit
for the location of an annex building for the Franklin County
Museum in an R-3 (Medium Density Residential) Zoning District to
the December 20, 2018 meeting.
