AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Joint Meeting: City CouncillPlanning Commission - Core Values
as they relate to the Comprehensive Plan
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council worked with the Pfanning Commission to
create a draft vision for the upcoming Comprehensive Plan; on January 18, 2005, the City
Council discussed the project approach and timeline; Council and the Planning Commission
held a joint meeting on February 1, 2005 to identify community priorities as it relates to values.
BACKGROUND: The vision propased for fhe Cflmprehensive Plan, once finalized, describes
what the c4rnmunity should be in 25 years. It provides a framework for the policy issues
identified in the Plan. The core values provide the context for addressing those policy issues.
Clearly defined values will help the City identify what issues are the highest priority, and what
strategies can best be used to help the c4mmunity achieve its vision. Having cleariy defined
values will also help the City Council balance competing demands as it makes policy decisions.
At the February 1 joint meeting the City Council and Planning Commission identified priorities
for the community, which in turn will in turn become part of a draft values statement. On April
13 the Council held a Conversation with the Community, About 30 citizens aftended and
provided feedback.
The purpose of this agenda item is to summarize the April 13 meeting, and to provide a forum
for deciding the next steps in creating a draft values statement.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Draft Land Use Map Presentation
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 36.70A RCW - Growth Management Act
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None
BACKGROUND: The Spokane Valley Community Development Dzpartment has been
developing a Draft Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map as a part of the Spokane Valley's first
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan Map provides guidance for future development
w'rthin the City for the next 20 years and works in tandem with land use descriptions and policies
within the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
The purpose of ihis joint meeting is to present an overview of the Comprehensive Plan land use
concepts prior to issuing a Draft Comprehensive Plan that will bz the subject of public review
and hearings. The basic principals of ths draft Land Use Plan are to:
1_ Create a City Center at University City Area
2. PreservE existing single-family neighborhoods
3. Focus retail commercial development at major crossroads.
4. Create Offic$ land use designation.
5. Encourage redevelopment of strip commercial corridors into office and/or residenfial
development.
6. Identify mixed use centers.
The Draft Comprehensive Plan Map was created by analyzing current uses and zoning of
property, reviewing existing comprehensive plan designations and incorporating citizen
commenfs generated at Comprehensive Plan public meetings. Letters and comments from
individual property owners have also been considered and inc4rporated into the map.
The Draft Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan will be the subject of public review and
public hearings by the Planning Commission. After public hearings and deliberations, a
Planning Commission recommended Comprehensive Plan will be forwarded to City Council for
consideration and adoption.

Proposed Comprehensive Plan Map Designations
Low Density Residential:
The Low Density Residential Comprehensive Plan designation addresses a range of
single family residential densities from S dwelling uni# per acre up to and including
approximately 6 dwelling units per acre. This designation would be implemented
through a series of zoning designations providing for the densities described above.
Medium Density Residential:
The Medium Density Residential designation represents an opportunity to provide a
range of housing types to accommodate anticipated residential growth. The increase in
population, decline in average family size, and increased cost of single-family homes
have created increased demand for new housing types. Housing fiypes would include
duplexes, townhouses, and condominiums in existing multi-family areas and within
mixed-use development in commercial areas. Densities provided for in this Plan
designation are up to 12 dwelling units per acre.
High Density Residential:
This designation provides for existing multi family residential development developed at
a density in excess of 12 units per acre. High Density Residential designated areas are
also located in areas near higher intensity development, such as City Center. High
Density Residential provides housing opportunities for younger, lower income
households in the City who may not yet be able to afford a home of their own.
Office:
This comprehensive plan designation is intended primarily for office development with
limited retail or commercial uses. Retail and commercial uses are limited to those that
are clearly subordinate to the primary office use or the retail function primarily serves
the office uses in close proximity to the retail or commercial use. Primary uses include
medical and dental facilities, education services, insurance, real estate, financial
: i
institutions, design firms, and legal services are representative of this comprehensive plan category. .
Regional Commercial:
The Regional Commercial designation encompasses two major retail areas of the City.
It covers the big box retail area found in the Sullivan Road area from Sprague Avenue
north to the Interstate 90 interchange, including the Valley Mall, Best Buy, Gart Sports
and others. The second Regional Commercial area is located near the I-90 interchange
at Sprague Avenue and includes Home Depot, Costco and Lowes.
Community Commercial:
_The Community Commercial classification designates areas for retail, service and office
establishments intended to serve several neighborhoods. Community Commercial
areas are located as business clusters at intersections of arterials rather than strip
commercial developmenf.
Neighborhood Commercial:
The Neighborhood Commercial classification designates areas for small-scale
neighborhood serving retail and office uses. Neighborhood business areas should not
be larger than 2 acres in size and should be located as business clusters rather than
arterial strip commercial development. %
City Center:
The City Center encourages higher intensity land uses. Traditional city centers are
places where diverse office, retail, and government uses are concentrated, as well as
cuftural and civic facilities, community services, entertainment and housing.
Mixed Use:
Mixed use may be either "horizontal mixed use" or "vertical mixed use". Horizontal
mixed use means that residential, commercial, office and other uses are adjacent to
each other typically as part of an overall master plan for a site. However, not all
projects within a"Mixed Use" designated area must be mixed use in order to achieve
the overall affect of mixed use. Two mixed use designations are proposed: First is
Corridor Mixed Use, which is used along the Sprague Avenue corridor; second is Mixed Use Centers, which are designated in the Mirabeau Point area and the area east of
Sullivan Road along Indiana Avenue. '
Industrial:
Providing for industrial land is important for the economic health of Spokane Valley. " Industrial businesses help drive the local economy and create an economic multiplier
effect throughout the region. Two industrial designations are proposed - Light and
Heavy Industrial. The Light Industry designation is a planned industrial area with
special emphasis and attention given to aesthetics, landscaping and internal and
community compatibility. Uses may include high technology and other low-impact
industries. Light Industry areas may incorporate office and commercial uses as
ancillary uses within an overall plan for the industrial area.
Heavy industry is characterized by intense industrial activities which include, but are not
limited to, manufacturing, processing, fabrication; assembly/disassembly, freight-
handling and similar operations. Heavy industry may have significant noise, odor or
aesthetic impacts to surrounding areas.
Public/Quasi-Public:
The Public/Quasi-Public designation is intended to protect and preserve areas of the
City devoted to civic, cultural, educational, and similar facilities. These facilities provide
for the social needs of the community as those needs relate to public services, open
space and institutions whether they are publicly or privately sponsored or operated.
