Business And Residential Structure Combined. Vested Right Acquired In Zoning Ordinance. State of Washington ex rel. Ogden v. City of Bellevue et al. (and other cases), Supreme Court of Washington, Nov. 4, 1954, 275 P.2d 899. Plaintiff acquired a parcel of property in what was then the unincorporated town of Bellevue. The property has a frontage of 200 feet on the highway, and a depth of 150 feet. The easterly 75 feet was zoned B-1 (busi- ness) and.the westerly 75 feet A-1 (agriculture). He applied for a building permit to construct a combination residence and business building on the portion of the land zoned B-1 (business). Bellevue was incorporated as a city of the third class shortly after plaintiff bought the property. It imme- diately created a planning commission and adopted the exist- ing King County land use zoning ordinance. The application for a building permit was denied upon the ground that he had not made any provision for off-street parking as required by the ordinance. The ordinance requires that an applicant for a building permit shall present evidence in writing that arrangements have been made to provide off-street parking to be zoned B-P (business parking) or that the required amount of park- ing facilities classified as business parking has been provided by a satisfactory written contract, or that the applicant is participating in an association which is providing adequate off-street parking. The parking must be within 1, 000 feet of the front entrance to the building; one parking space of 200 square feet must be provided for every 400 square feet of gross floor area of the business building between 2, 000 and 2, 500 square feet; the parking area must have access from a public thoroughfare.
