Project Description: The proposal is for an amendment to the Town of Coulee Dam’s Comprehensive Plan future land use designation for two parcels. These two parcels are both located on Lincoln Avenue across from Town hall. Both lots are currently zoned Special Residential with a future land use designation of Recreation (see figure 1). The goal is to ultimately rezone both parcels to Commercial. The existing future land use designation of Recreation is described in the comprehensive plan as generally applying to community parks. To achieve the desired zoning designation, the future land use designation of both lots would need to be changed from Recreation to Commercial. Amending the Comprehensive Plan to change the designation of these lots to commercial would allow for the existing use of both lots to conform with the comprehensive plan. The future intention for both lots is more in line with the commercial designation. Both sites are developed, and their sizes would not be suitable for a community park

Project Location:

Parcel 1: 201 Lincoln Ave, # 08600100200

This lot is owned by Hospital District #6 and contains an existing 18,000 sq. ft. structure.

Parcel 2: 301 Lincoln Ave, # 08600200200

This lot contains an existing Bed & Breakfast business. The owners wish to expand the site with commercially geared development.

Owner/Applicant:

Parcel 1: Hospital District #6,

411 Fortuyn Rd, Grand Coulee, WA

Parcel 2: John & Lori Adkins,

301 Lincoln Ave, Coulee Dam, WA
