announced that this item will now be considered since Councilmember Schimmels still has
not arrived. Bill Burke, of Burke Marketing, provided councilmembers with a modified
budget proposal for the celebration expenses, noting that there is a difference of opinion
between himself and the Council as to certain items being more important then others. By
reducing his request for funding to $2500, this will allow the City to purchase those items
that they feel should be included for this celebration. There was discussion with Burke
about specifics of the expenses and sponsorships and the Mayor noted that the compromise
he and Burke worked out is not specifically addressed in the changed line items.

service or better with a department that emulates a City department and at cost of
$11,537,018 for a full year, pro -rated to $6,729,928 for the year 2003. There was
discussion as to how police staff will operate within Spokane Valley; what effects there
may be with division of patrol and traffic officers to develop a "like" City department; the
presence of officers in neighborhoods; and the fact that there will be a City Chief full time
who will be responsive to the direction of the Council through the City Manager.

Public Hearing — Spokane County Comprehensive Plan: Mayor DeVleming opened the
public hearing at 6:15 p.m., detailed the procedure that will be followed, with staff
presentation first.
interim Attorney Schwartz said that a comprehensive plan is a general set of guidelines
that sets goals and policies, that there are various elements to be included as required by
the State Growth Management Act, that a newly incorporated city has three years in which
to develop its own comprehensive plan, that staff recommends the Council adopt Spokane
County's Comprehensive Plan by reference, and staff will make minor changes to the
County Plan as directed by Council following citizen input at this hearing.
Mayor DeVleming asked if there were questions of staff from Council.
Councilmember Munson requested affirmation that this is only a temporary interim plan
for Spokane Valley, and that following incorporation there may be changes made by the
Council, and was advised that this is a proposed interim plan for the City.
Councilmember Denenny requested clarification as to the public process if the Council
should determine the need for any changes. Interim Attorney Schwartz said that the City
should conform to requirements of the Growth Management Act, and this hearing tonight
gives the public opportunity to comment on the proposed interim plan, and with two
readings of the ordinance there will be a total of three opportunities for public input prior
to adoption of the interim plan. An environmental checklist could also be prepared if the
Council elects to make major changes to the County plan.
Mayor DeVleming opened the hearing for public comment.
Howard Herman, 117 North McDonald, said that as a member of the transition committee
reviewing this issue, the only objection the committee has to the County Plan relates to the
industrial and commercial zones that were over- managed; the County did a good job on the
residential zones. Herman pointed out specific areas that would be non - conforming under
the County Plan and he feels this could have a deleterious affect on the community with a
reduction in sales tax if these properties are restricted for any redevelopment. During
incorporation efforts a pledge was made to the community that this would be a business
friendly city that should be kept by the Council.
interim Community Development Director Harris clarified information contained on the
zoning maps.
Bill Gothmann, 10010 East 48 Avenue, said that the Growth Management Act advises
cities and counties to make many choices about accommodating growth, and Spokane
Valley should evaluate long -term effect choices we make will have on the community, and
make careful choices to preserve the many choices the citizens of the area have.
Gothmann pointed out policies in the County Plan that may be inconsistent with what the
Spokane Valley community desires, and urges the Council to produce a 20 -year
comprehensive plan that will preserve the diversity of this community.

Tony Lazanis, 10625 East Trent, commented that he feels neighborhoods could be unsafe
by allowing mixed type of uses and requested that the Council assure there is protection of
the neighborhoods and of the river.
The mayor asked if there were questions of the speakers or staff from the Council.
Councilmember Munson asked Mr. Herman and Mr. Gothmann to provide specific
information relating to the stated concerns that may be addressed by the City's Planning
Commission once that body is appointed and begins work on developing the City's
comprehensive plan.
Mayor DeVleming closed the public hearing on Spokane County Comprehensive Plan at
6:35 p.m.
Public Hearing — Spokane County Phase I Zoning Ordinance: Mayor DeVleming
opened the public hearing at 6:36 p.m.
Interim City Attorney Schwartz said that staff recommends that Spokane Valley adopt by
reference Spokane County Phase I zoning code. A zoning code provides for development
regulations that are the laws placed on the use of land within the City. Some minor
modifications may be proposed to the County zoning code for the interim Spokane Valley
zoning code.
interim Community Development Director Harris provided copies of a list submitted by
Wayne Frost requesting specific uses to be allowed in the I -2 zoning district noting that the
listed uses are allowed in the plan except in the I -4 zoning.
Councilmember Munson asked if Council has authority to change uses. Interim Attorney
Schwartz advised that the Council has the ability to modify the zoning code, but must
assure that any changes are in compliance with the comprehensive plan.
Councilmember Flanigan said that it was his understanding that the purpose of the Growth
Management Act is to reduce urban sprawl. As land values in a city core rise, the
businesses look for lower priced property out of the urban area, and he questions allowing
for retail and business use within an industrial zone, since that may eliminate ability for
new industrial development. Commercial development may be allowed around industrial
zoning.
Mayor DeVleming opened the hearing for public comment.
Rob Amsden, 3025 South Bannen Court, requested that the Council continue the I -2
zoning. He suggests that Spokane Valley review the former matrix used by Spokane
County prior to adoption of the Phase 1 zoning code since that matrix allowed for churches,
self - service storage facilities, retail and business uses in an 1 -2 zone. These uses are
Council Minutes February 25, 2003. Approved on Mardi _, 2003 Page 3 of 8
DRAFT
presently excluded from the County's 1 -2 zone and he believes the City has an opportunity
to make changes that will send a message that Spokane Valley is a business friendly city.
Kerry Orcutt, 1304 North Evergreen, asked the Council to reconsider the zoning in his
neighborhood on the east side of Evergreen Road. The west side of Evergreen Road in this
area is zoned for mixed use and the east side is strictly low density residential.
David Gump, 1314 North Evergreen Road, supports changing the zoning for the east side
properties of Evergreen Road to the same zone as provided on the west side of the street,
since property values have dropped dramatically since improvements were made to
Evergreen Road.
John Konen, Storhaug Engineering Company, said he is representing businesses on the
south side of Sprague Avenue that currently have received unintended consequences of the
two or three different types of zoning for properties between Appleway and Sprague. The
new zoning for this area will make it difficult for properties to remodel and for new
development and urges the Council to consider changes that will provide user friendly
zoning and support of the business community.
Lloyd Thomson, 4202 East Lane, owns property in the area Mr. Konen spoke about. Since
there is one zone on the front part of the property and a different zone on the back side of
the property, it makes it impossible to get any permit. This conflicting zoning makes the
properties non - conforming and property owners need a remedy, so he urges the Council to
consider addressing this inconsistency.
Mayor DeVleming asked if Council had any questions of citizens or staff.
Councilmember Munson noted that the testimony indicates that there is a sense of urgency
for addressing some of these concerns soon so that controlled growth can go forward, and
questions if making any changes needs to be delayed until the City Planning Commission
is in place. Interim Attorney Schwartz advised that during the period prior to
incorporation, the Council is able to make minor changes through legislation without the
process that is required following incorporation.
Councilmember Munson said that his experience on the Board of Equalization confirms
the difficulty for the Assessor to assess property at its highest and best use when there is
mixed zoning, and asked that staff address the situation on Evergreen.
Councilmember Flanigan said that information he obtained from the County relating to the
Evergreen area was that these properties are too narrow for commercial zoning, so a
zoning change would have to be extended beyond the ones fronting on Evergreen, and
wondered if the property owners had received similar information.
Mr. Torgerson and Mr. Konen identified that the properties they represent are one acre in
size and one -half acre in size and one is unique since it is landlocked with no street access.

problem, and will work towards developing solutions. Staff also recognize the problem on
Evergreen and will work closely with the attorney to see what solutions may be available
to address this problem. Harris said that a zoning code should not be rigid, and he feels
that Spokane Valley can have a dynamic zoning code that lives and breathes for its citizens
and that can be interpreted to work for the community.

noted the City needs to have a Planning Director who will have this attitude for working
with the community. Harris said that the Council can set the tone for what they wish for
the City, and then through the Planning Commission, changes can be made. It is an
exciting time for the City to begin to make change from a fresh new start.

ALL PERSONS WISHING TO SPEAK AT THE PUBLIC HEARING MUST SIGN
IN WITH YOUR NAME AND A.DDR.ESS FOR THE RECORD. THERE MAY BE
A TIME LIMIT FOR YOUR COMMENTS. A COPY OF ANY WRITTEN
COMMENTS RELATING TO THE PUBLIC HEARING SUBJECT MUST BE
PROVIDED TO THE CITY CLERK
I am a firm believer in our free enterprise economy. That is, a service will be successfu.I
to the degree that it satisfies a need in our society. There are services offered the
community that build up a community -- that will make it a better community as a whole.
These services build up the human soul, body, mind, or spirit. Services such as religious
services, food services, medical services, educational services, and sports services are
some examples.
However, there are certain services that a firm may offer a community that will seriously
deteriorate the community as a whole -- services such as drug selling, prostitution, and
sale of stolen goods. Even though there may be a market for such services by a segment
of our community, it is necessary that the supply of such services be denied by the
community as a whole so the community will not be harmed.
What, then, makes a community a "good" community? I was born and raised in Spokane,
but .i have lived in Las Vegas, where the choice of services offered differs markedly from
those services offered here. I have learned that the goodness of a community is
determined by those choices the community makes. It is determined by the degree to
which such a community builds up its members and rejects those services that tear down
or degrade it members.
I realize that what is "good" and what is "legal" are, sometimes, unfortunately, two
different questions. A council must always choose what is legal. However, there. are
times when what is legal is also in conformance with what is good. Although I am not a
lawyer, i. assume that tonight is one of those times. Because it is, I assume, legal for you
to do so and because I know it is good for our community for you to do so, I recommend
that the council delay as long as possible the acceptance of so- called adult entertainment
permits. I recommend that you make a clear statement that we want a good community --
one that builds up the human soul, body, mind and spirit of all our residents.

March 25, 2003
To: House Trade and Economic Development Committee
On March 28, 2003, your Committee will be hearing public testimony on ESSB 6026.
On March 13, 2003, the Spokane Valley City Council, voted unanimously to request that
Senate Bill 6026, and its companion bill, House .Bill 1581, be amended to remove the
legislative authority of Counties to form a Parking and Business Improvement District.
Our concern is that this legislation, as written, could lead to the creation of a County wide
District with the abilityto "assess" lodging establishments within our City up to $2.00
per room night. This be done without a consensus vote of the businesses and
citizens of our community. In addition, the legislation also allows the District to levy
special assessments on all businesses and multifamily residential or mixed -use projects
within the District that would "benefit" from the Parking and Business Improvement'
District.
The purpose of this legislation is to promote convention and tourism industries, provide
maintenance and security for common areas, and to acquire, construct or maintain
parking facilities withi.n,the District. Removal of the County legislative authority from
the legislation will only mean that such a District cannot be created The
city gover..aments will still be able to create the Districts - ideally, at the request of their
businesses and constituents.
While we can support the concept of the Legislation, we still have serious concerns with
the way ESSB 6026 is written. Representative Jeff. Gombosky, a co- sponsor of the
House 1581 companion bill, submitted an amendment that would have limited the .
County Legislative authority to the unincorporated areas of the County,.unless there is an
interlocal agreement. We can support the bill with this amendment. We totally oppose
the bill if it will grant the County Legislative authority the ability to impose a "fee" on
businesses within our City without any consensus from our City Council and the
businesses that would be involved. We strongly urge your Committee to support this
amendment or one that would achieve the same result.
Representative Lynn Schindler has submitted an amendment that would remove those
properties with fewer than 40 rooms from the assessments. We also urge you to support
this amendment.
In addition, the Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce Executive Committee voted to
endorse this Legislation, with the aforementioned amendments. •
Thant you for your consideration.

Proposed Use:

CLC ASSDCFATES
Attn: The Honorable ichael DeVleming
Reference: Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zone Change
fEC Broadway Avenue ai Evergreen Rd.
Dear. Mayor DeV]erning:
Pursuant to the Council's recent invitation to offer other site- specific amendments to the
new comprehensive ]and use plan and zoning map, i offer the following for the Council's
consideration:
SubjectPropert:
The subject property is located at the NE Corner of Evergreen and Broadway. (See
attached photos showing the subject and other land uses).
Proposed Amendments:
The subject site is designated within the current plan as Low Density Residential and the
proposed revision would allow Mixed Use with a gone change to B-2 Community
Business.
portin c yacts:
1) the subject is fully served with urban services of water, sewer, gas and power.
2) The Mixed -Use category exists all along the west side o f Evergreen R.d,
3) The subject is located within the quadrants of two major arterials and a controlled
intersection making all four quadrants equally serviceable,
4) These arterials serve as neighborhood boundaries m.aicing this intersection the
nodal point of two or more neighborhoods, thus becoming cominunity serving by
location.
5) The fixed -Use category is implemented by a variety of zones including the B -2
Community Business Zone; and
6) The 8- zone is the first zone that permits Latte Stands.

Broadway - Evergreen Amendment Request
Conclusion: .
The intersection of two major arterial roads is a finite urban commodity. We can no
longer afford to waste these limited but valuable locations to a land -use category and
zone, that is otherwise so critical to its function for the motoring public. The Mixed -Use
Category would be consistent with the designation along the west side of Evergreen and
would not prejudice the outcome.of future planning along this arterial. Accordingly, the
property is suitable for the designation of Mixed -Use and should be allowed to have 13-2
zoning as an implementation of this category, consistent with the plans and policies
currently under consideration for adoption by the City Council of the Spokane Valley.
