The Liberty Lake Planning Commission met on September 9, 2026, to review final proposed development-code revisions associated with the city’s periodic comprehensive-plan update. Staff and consultants discussed a new definition and zoning standards for manufactured office buildings, revisions to tree-related definitions and maintenance language, and parking requirements for accessory dwelling units. The commission supported retaining a minimum of one parking space for an ADU and setting the 90-degree stall depth at 20 feet. Staff outlined the remaining process: a City Council overview on September 15, submission to the Department of Commerce for a 60-day review anticipated to begin September 25, and intended adoption by year-end. No contract awards, solicitations, or other procurement activity were identified.

The commission also discussed an inquiry about rezoning parcel 55103.0204 from light industrial to commercial. Members expressed differing views, and no action or formal recommendation was taken. The agenda was approved; Jean Huchel was selected as vice chair, and Commissioner Jensen was excused from the meeting. The secretary reported a commission vacancy following Jim Bunker’s resignation, with recruitment to follow.
