Meeting Date: March 4, 2008
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business (X~ new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second Readinc~Proposed Ordinance 08-002, an ordinance amending the
SVMC 19.60.040, 19.60.050, 19.60.060, 19.40.070 and 19.60.080 by permitting indoor kennels and
doggy daycare businesses in the Neighborhood Commercial, Regional Commercial, and Corridor Mixed
Use Zones.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A.390 and RCW 35A.63.220.
PREVIOUS COMMISSION ACTION: On September 24, 2007 City Council adopted Ordinance 07-015
approving the City of Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code (UDC). The UDC uvas effective on
October 28, 2007. On January 31, 2008 Planning Commission hetd a study session and public hearing
regarding this amendment. The Commission passed by unanimous vote to forward approval of this
arnendment to the City Council.
BACKGROUND: Prior to the adoption of the UDC, Jeanne and Lonny Kelp checked with the City that a
doggy daycare and pet hotel would be permitted in a tenant space they were interested in located in the
B-3 zane. The Interim Zoning Code permitted kennels in the B-3 and they were advised of that
information. When the new UDC was adopted, the zone was changed to Commercial Mixed Use which
. does not permit kennels. Since they did not submit a permit application for the tenant improvement and
land use approval until after the UDC had been adopted, they were not vested to the previous code.
The business oevners asked the Director of Community Development (Director) to review the situation. ,
On November 1, 2007, the Director issued an interpretation under UDC Section 19.60.050 (1) permitting
the doggy daycare portion of the business in Neighborhood Commercial, Community Commercial,
Regional Commercial, and Corridor Mixed Use with conditions (See Exhibit A). On December 20, 2007,
the Director received a letter from D.J. Hume, representing Lonnie and Jeanne Kelp and asking for an
interpretation to include indoor kennels. (See Exhibit 6) The Director issued a response letter dated
January 8, 2008 denying the kennel use without a iormal code amendment. (See Exhibit C)
On January 10, 2008 the Kelp's applied for a code amendment to allow indoor kennels in the Corridor
Mixed Use zone as provided for under UDC Section 17.80.150. Doggy daycares have also been
included in this amendment in order to formalize the Director's interpretation referred to above.
Analysis: UDC Section 17.80.150(F) provides approval criteria that amendments of the UDC must meet.
Those criteria include:
1. The proposed amendment(s) are consistent with the applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan; and
2. The proposed amendment(s) bear a substantial relation to the public health, safety, welfare
and protection of the environment
Staff Comment: The Comprehensive Plan envisions a future that would mix commercial and residential
into more compact development patterns. Since both uses co-exist, it is important to provide the mix of
uses that provide services and jobs for the people living in the area and yet protect residential uses from
' noise or other c9ntrollable impacts: As people choose to live in or close to commercial areas and the
economics and demographics of the community change to more single-persons, couples without
children, single parents and dual-incorne families, there will be a demand for daycare and boarding
services for pets. Outdoor facilities are not appropriate to the commercial areas under the new vision, but
indoor facilities are in close alignment vrith other uses including veterinarians and pet grooming. -
The, following Goals in the Comprehensive Plan support the proposal: _
EDG-1 Encourage diverse and mutually supportive business development and the expansion
and retention of existing businesses within the City for the purpose of emphasizing
economic vitality, stability and sustainability.
NP-3.3 Encourage commercial development that is designed and scaled in a manner that is
compatible with surrounding neighborhoods.
The proposal of permitting internal doggy daycare and boarding facilities in some commercial zones with
conditions that keep the business indoors, is adequately soundproof and meet noise standards for a
commercial noise source bear a relation to the public health, safety and welfare by providing needed
services to areas the city anticipates as developing with residential.
Staff's opinion is that the interim UDC amendments meet the above noted criteria and recommend that
the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing and forward a recommendation to amend the UDC by
permitting doggy daycare and indoor kennels in the Neighborhood Business, Community Commercial,
Corridor Mixed Use and Regional Commercial zones to the City Council.
NEW INFORMATION: At the February 26, council meeting, the Council requested that staff look into the
possibility of requiring an on-site attendant if an indoor kennel keeps animals over night. At the time of
this report, staff are contacting local business for information.
The City of Spokane Valley has a number of businesses thatkeep animals overnight including
veterinarians, animal grooming, and kennels. These businesses are operated in a number of business
zones outside of the zones that were considered in this code amendment. Over night attendants are not '
currently required by the UDC and are outside of traditional zoning regulations. Spokane County
Regional Animal Protection Service also issues licenses for animal related. businesses and have a
number of regulations which do not include over night staffing. This agency would be the appropriate
place to adopt this requirement since their mandate is animal protection and they do routine inspections
of facilities.
If the City Council requires staffing overnight, then the amendment should be applied to all businesses
that have this type of operation. Since this particular amendment was narrowly focused and advertised,
impacted businesses have not had opportunity to comment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION ON AMENDMENT: Staff recommends that an amendment to require over
night staffing in indoor kennels not be adopted because it is beyond the scope of typical zoning
requirements and would be difficult to enforce. If the Council wishes to apply this requirement on all
animal businesses boarding over night, this issue can be added to the batch amendments that the
Planning Commission will consider later this year.
OPTIONS: Approve, approve with amendments, or do not approve.
MOTION/RECOMMENDATION: Move approval of ordinance 08-002 as drafted

Detention Services History
Spokane County Jail
• Opened June 14, 1986 as a Direct
Supervision Jail to house 470 inmates
• Wrth retro fits to the jail we have
increased the inmate popufation to 675
• Overcxowded condi6ons influenced a
change in the management philosophy
from direct to an indirect supervision
facility.
Geiger Correct(ons Center
• Geiger operates out of a variety of
1942-era Army Corps of Engineers
bu+ldings located on six acres of leased
land
• The lease will expire in 2013
• Houses'r4 of our inmate population
~
Purpose
• Absorb Geiger CoRections Center inmate population
• Provide for Geigers infrastructure 8 programs
• Aileviate overcrowding at present facilities
• Focus on the safety of the community, staff and offenders
• Plan for the projected inmate growth over the next 25 years
Need
• Detendon facilities serve Spokane County, local cities,
college campuses, State, Federal, neighboring tribes
• Both Geiger and the Spokane County Jail are near
capac+ty (1,285 is current combined capacity; average
daily poputation is 1,170)
• Geiger Corrections Center is not compatible with the
Airport Board's comprehensive long-range plan, and
the lease will not be renewed in 2013
• The jail operates 365 days a year, 24 hours a day,
resulting in a high level of wear on the facility and its
equipment, fixtures, and fumishings
3
Facility Development Process
~
Spokane County is following the National Institute of Corrections
"Planninq of New Institutions Process"
• Nationally proven & standardized approach to plan & develop
detention facilities
• Vsits to other detention facilities to analyze other approaches
• Systems-wide approach: not just bricks & mortar

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Stormwater Manual Update
GOVERNWG LEGISLATION: NE'DES Phasc TI Permit and Under~mund Injection Control Prograni
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: City Council was briefed on 17ecember 4th, 2007 and
instructed Staff to have the propasal rcviewed by Plan.ning Cornmission. Staff hcld a study sessinn on
January 10, 2008 and a public hearing on January 24, 2005 with Planning Commission. Planning
commission passe.d by unanimous vote to fonvard approval of the Stormwater Manual and changes the
UT)C 22.150 to City Council. Planning commission instructed stztT't:o veriiy dhat the definilions in the
new manual are consistent with L7JaC and Comprehensive nlan.
` .
BACKGROUND: When the City of Spol:ane Valley (City) incorporatecl, the City adopted the Spol:anc
County Stormwater Guidelines for Stormwaler Management (SGSM) by Ciry Ordinance 03-032 as
interim guidelines. The SGS:M was first adopted in 1980 by Spokane County, and the last update was
done in 1998. RcvisiQns to the SGSM had been on hold since 2001 because Wash.i.ngton laepariment of
Ecology (Ecology) was in the process of drafting a Stormwater N9anual fnr Eastern Washington.
In September 2004; Ecology finalized the Stormwatcr Management Manual for E•aste•rn Washington
(SMMEW). NPPF.S Phase II permitted eommunities are required to have a stonnwater manual that is
teLhnieal equivalent to the SMMF..W.
ThC City of Spokane Valley, the City of Spokane and Spokane County started working together to
develop the Spokane Regional Stormwater Manual (SRSyI) in 2004. Thc intent was to have one manual
, for the Spokane region, updatc the SGSM with the latest techniques and mc;thods, aiid have a technical
equivslent manual to the SMMEW.
Comments were solic.ited by the th.ree jurisdictions from Ec:ology, the design community, citizen group5,
associations, and the public. Public comment period endeti September 2151, 2005. The draft manual was
available online for viewing at the City of Sp4kane Valley's and Spokane County's webpage. In adclition,
h3rd copies aiid CUs were available to the public iit eacli of the three jurisdictions.
Workshops were. he•ld on August 20 and September Li, 2005 at the City nf Spokane Valley Council
Chiunbers. T.n addition, the City of Spokane and Spokane Counry held four additional workshops at
cti.ffereiit locations throughout the City of Spokane and unincorporated areas of Spokane County i.n
August and September, 2005. These workshops were cargetcd to answer questinns from the general
public. Comments were reeeived from a few citizens, neighborhaod groups, local engiveers, and
Ecolo~,ry. •
~
Fcology determined the SR.A4S to be technieal equivalent to the S~E-W in the Fall of 2007. '1'he three
jurisdictinns ive goin- thmugh the process ta adopt the SRSM.
OPTIONS: Direct staff to move forward with the proposal, as submitted or revised.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Coumcil Consensus to bring forth first reading of
ordinancc for cha.nges to UAC 22.150 andUDC Glossary on March 25, 2008.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None STAFF CONTACT: John Hohman and Gloria Mantz

s Outdated Methodology in the existing
standards
• Include Examples
■ Eastern Washington Manual (EWM)

Why an Equivalent Manual?
■ State manual is for entire Eastern
Washington, not specific enough for
our Region
I~' I s State Manual dces not have guidance
for Conveyance Systems (pipes,

(UIC) PROGRAM
UIC
a UIC welis are used to dispose of
fluids underground. Examples
include drywells, drainfields and
~ trenches with perforated pipe.
IN UIC wells have the potential to
contaminate groundwater.
■ The UIC program protects
groundwater quality by regulating
the disposal of fluids into the
subsurface.
s
UIC Requirements
Two main requirements:
1. All owners must register wells
with Ecology
r. , 2. All wells must be constructed,
operated, maintained, and
decommissioned in a manner
that protect water quality

j6t What are we doing to
comply with UIC
■ Worked to develop the SRSM
~F~cKn Staff has made an inventory of
( 2/3 of the City. Expect to
complete registration by 2009
■ Development Engineering
informs engineer/developer of
registration requirements during
permitting process
j~.
What else is needed for
UIC?
.
■ Begin well assessment after
registration is completed
l:-
~ ■ Well assessment wiil identify
drywelis that need to be retrofitted or
abandoned
■ Need to develop a public outreach
program to inform business owners
of UIC requirements for existing
drywelts

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: March 4, 2008 City Manager Sign-off:
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business D new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information 0 admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Aviation Ordinance Discussion
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70.547, 14 CFR 77, Spokane Valley UDC 19.110.030
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: City Council received an administrative report on this
matter on January 8, 2008. At that time questions as to issues of liability and existing conditions
were raised. The City Council had approved the Airport Overiay Zone in March of 2006. Those
code provisions have been incorporated in the new UDC adopted in September of 2007.
BACKGROUND: A number of citizen questions have been raised concerning thz density
restriction set forth in the adopted airport over lay. The primary restriction of concern is the
prohibition to create any new lot, regardless of the underlying zoning of less than 2.5 acres.
- Council has asked for additional information conceming the adoption of this ordinance,
requirements imposed by state law and laws of both adjacent jurisdictions and other
jurisdictions within the State of Washington. At the City council meeting on January 8, 2008, the
Council requested additional information concerning potential liability and existing conditions in
the affected area. This administrative report is designed to respond to those questions.
Potential Liability:
The City of Spokane Valley is not required to adopt code provisions as stringent as those
currently existing. The City's is required to:
Protect airports from incompatible land uses and restrict any height hazard that would be
deemed an obstruction #o air travel. RCW 35.70.547, 14 CFR 77; and
2) Demonstrate that any proposed restriction on the use of property is reasonably related to
protecting the health, safety and welfare of its citizens and does not amount to a '
unconstitutional taking of property.
The current ordinance meets these criteria.
An amendment of this ordinancz, reducing the density restrictions could also fulfill these
requirements.
As a general rule it is important to have a legitimate and supportable basis for a change or
amendment to the zoning code. Reliance upon model ordinances that were the result of
analysis and study by agencies with expertise in understanding the impacts at issue is one way
to establish that basis. The City may also review and quantify existing circumstances, the
manner in which other jurisdictions address the same concerns and rely upon additional fact
finding or studies to provide this necessary basis. For example the County of Spokane is
currently in the process of having the land use impacts relating to the operation of Fairchild Air
Force Base studied by consultants and will, based upon that study, make recommendations for
changes to the current county code.
Existing Conditions
Attached for your review is a land analysis performed by the Planning Department, identified the
number and location of parcels currently restricted by the density requirements of the existing
code.
OPTIONS: Take no action, provide further direction to staff or refer the matter to the planning
commission for additional study and consideration.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: City Council approved ilie airport overlay zona in
March of 2006. Those code provisions have been incorporated in the new UDC adopted in
September of 2007.
BACKGROUND: A number of citizen questions have been raised conceming the density
restriction set forth in the adopted alrport over lay. The primary restrictlon of concem is the
prohibition to create any new lot, regardless of the underiying zon(ng of less than 2.5 acres.
Council has aslced for additional infoRnation conceming the adoption of this ordinance,
requirements imposed by state law and Iaws of both adjacent jurisdictions and other
~ jurisdictions w}thin the State of Washington.
OPTIONS: Take no action, provide further direction to staff or refer the matter to the planning
commission for additfonal study and consideration.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Counc'sl direction
BUDGETIFINANCIAL IMPACTS: NA
STAFF CONTACT: Mike Connelly, City Attorney
ATTACHMENTS:
1 Memorandum from City Attorney with Exhibits
2. RCA and minutes of previous consideration by Council on September 25, 2005, February 14,
2006, and February 28, 2006
3. Documents previously provided to Pfanning Commission
mentioned ihal Finance I7irector Ken Thompson is the City's desig"ated responsible official to receive.
AI7A-related complaints. Concer»ing specific ordinance options, Mr. Connelly said we do have the right
~-if Council desire.s, to make abut:ci.ng property owners more responsible, or we could charge them and
could even attach that as a lien if we do the work ourselves or hire someone to do that (cleaning the
sidewalks); and in response to counail's questions abflul eomplaints, Mr. Connelly said we do get a few;
including some complainis that the property wvvner shoveled the sidewalk and chen the side~valk got
buried by the snowplow; or complaints of vehic.les throwina up water and creating ice berms, ancl
complaints about t:he inability to walk along pares of Sprague and die difficulty of maneuvering a
wtieelchair when property owners don't shovel their sidewalk; and that he feels we get five or six
complaints a winter. •
Deputy Mayor Dcnenny sugocsted perhaps we should fnrm an ad hoc committee to address this issue,
including examining wfio should be responsible, bus routes, high traffic areas, and areas where children
walk to schooL After further discussion, there was Council consensus to form an ad hoc committee to
work with staff in the areas rnentioned above, and Maynr Munson appointed Depuri! Mayor Denenny as
the committee chair; aiid included Councilmembers Schimmels ancl Dempsey as committee members.
De.puty Mayor Taenenny said he will communicate with others and staff. and that perhaps they could get a
map of the number of miles in order to get a sense of the areas of responsibility.
6 Admin Report Aviation Ordina»ce Discussion - tif ike Connellw
City Attorney Connclly explaineJ thal there have been a number of citizen questions and concerns with
Che density restriction set forth in our adopted airport overlay; khat the primary concern is the prohibition
to create any new lot, regardless of tlie undc;rlying zoning of less than 2.5 acres, and that Counci] has
asked for additinnal infnrmation concerning the requirements of this ordinance, and of the State
requiremenis of both adjacent jurisdictions and other jurisdictions. Mr. Connelly pointed out his
memorandum also contains details af what othcr jurisdietions have for airport regulations, and menUoned
- that othcr Spokane County jurisdictions have less striiigent airport regulations than our newly adopted
ordinance; Nv-hile some otlier WashingCOn jurisdictinns outside 5pokane County have similar provisions to
those we recentiy passed, and he mentioned in particular Skagit County and Tumwater; and stated that
some options for Couneil ine.lucfe doing nothing, or referring this ordinance bac;k tn tlie Planning
Cammission for review of the density provisions.
Council discussion includcd what are and are not the primary crash zones; mention of concern abflut
height or about noise and nuisance; with Mr. Connelly remarE:ing that Council can choose te focus on or
ex.press concernecl about whatever they wish, whetlicr safety ancl community, or title notice about some
risk and noise. CQUncilmember Gothnilnn said he would li4cc the ac.cident daia of Felts I'ield. Other
remarks included discussion on having some mechanism to make sure people Nvho move in the area or
buy propcrty in the area realize dhey are in a fly wne; mcntion of the need to look at GIS breal:dnwm of
what densities are residential zones buill now and what lots already have housint; and thai there are
hundreds af potcntial new lots that could be fornled if t}iese restrietions were not in plaee.
Councilmembcr Taylor snid he would like to examine the currcnt de.nsiCy, wnuld like to see what zonc 6
covers relative to current residential areas, and sec what is die average density currently in place. Mr.
Connelly said we can keep the ordinane-c befnre Council for furthee review, but any change Nvill
ultimately need to go bac1: to the Ylanning Commission. There was Couneil consensus to bring t.he ddta
back to Council that Councilrriember I'aylor asked for, then to send dle ordinance back to the Planning
Commission for further deliberation.

Queistions Presented: • Do other Spokane County jurisdictions bavc sim,i.lar airporE regu,lations to lhose
~ established in the new Spokane Valley L3niform Developmcnt Code (UDC)? . .
• N1Jhat are the state and fede'ral requixements related to airport regulations7
Short Ans-ivers:
• Other Spokane County jurisdictions bave much less stringerit airport regulations than the
newly adopted Spokane Valley C.JDC sectioii 19.110.030. However, other Waslungton
. , jurisdictiox►s outside of Spokane County do have similar provisions to those recently
adoPted by Spokane Valley.
• RCW 35.70.547 requires citics to protect airports from incompatible land uses while at
ttie federal level, 14 Ck'R 77 requires t11at no height hazards cxist «~hich would be an
obstruction tn air travel. Neither law mandatcs the adopti_on of a specific ordi.nance or a
specific pro~rision within an ordinance.
Analysis:
1. Airport Regulations of other jurisdictions •
City oE Spokane Valley, under T.JDC section 19.110.030, now has tlie most stringent airport
zon.ing regulations in Spokane Coiinty. The LTDC establishes six Airport Land Use Compatibility
Zones Nvhich set a maximum niimber'of dwelliiig units for each zone in addition to establishillg
five Air 41azarcl He'ight Restrictions 'zones. Spokane Valley is the *only jurisdiction Aritlvn ,
Spokane County to establish these compatibility zones and set density r.equirements for each
zone. Othcr Spokane Coun.ty jurisdictions have esfiablished four "airspace and accident potential
areas." These areas do not appear to correspond with Spokane Valley's.Corapatibility Zones but
. 1
are more closely related to the Air Hazard Height Restrictions. Below is a suminary of the other J
jurisdiction's a.irport regulations:
SpUkane County: Like Spokane Valley, Spokane Couniy has establishe.d an airport overlay
zone Nuhich is ;overned b}j sectinn 14.702 of its code. However, this or•erlay zone does not
iuipleinent the den.sity requirements established by the Spokane Valley T3DC. Spokane Couniy
is a]sn currently revisi.ng its Airport Overlay Zone,, hoR~ever, the revisious have not yet gone
puUlic. The current section docs acidress* the follow&.g:
•E-stablishes' four air space and 1a.nd use safety areas with the #'olloAring. building
regulations: .
o The conical area which is "all that land •whieh lies direetly under an imaginuy
conical surFace extenduig outward from tlie primary su.c.f.acs at an elevation o£ 35
fect above tl-te elevation of the centerliiie nf the runaNvay !'or a distance 4f 3;500
fEet aud then upward aud outWard -at the slope of oue vertical foot for e<<ery 100
horizontal feet for a horizontal distance of 30,000 feet;"
■ No 'structures or vegetation uith heielits in cxcess af 35 fect may be built in
tlus zone. Structures incidental to xir travel are excepted. .
o Thc Approach Area Which is "all that land tliat lies directly undcr an imaginary
approach surface longitudinally centered on the extended centerline at each end of
the nuiwAy." The Approach area is theu subdivided inio Accident Pntential.
Znnes A arid B which l.ist prohibited uses. o T'he Accident Potential Zone A-,vlich is "all land i.n ttiae portion of the approach
area of the runNvay which ex-tends outw-ard from the end of the primary surfaCe a
distance e,qual to one-tturd of the runway. ~
■ No buildings or strucfures are allowed to be built or altered i.n. this zone." The °
followiug uses are excepted: warehousing, outdoor storage of eqiupment,
cemcteries, nurseries; agriculhual uses except for feed lots and otlier
agriculfural uses that aitract substantial auiounfis of birds, Publ.ic utility
tcansmission facilities, quarries; auto -w7ecking, .rai.l or trucking tenni_tials;
o Tli.e Accicient 1'otential Zorie B wtuch is °all land in the portion of the approach
area to the run-way ~~lucli extends ouri~,~ard from Gone A a distance of t~~~o-thirds
of the nuiway.
■ The following uses are pzohibitcd in ttiis zone: RV parks, churchcs, hospitals,
mauu.f.dcturcd horne parlc,s, motels ' atl.d hotels, nursing homes, schools,
stadiuri)s and ttleaters, day care facilities; as part uf Spokar7e County
Resolution 07-0221, residential sicbdivisiofis and residential Finding site plafis
are also prahibited. .
•Prolubits certain uses in areas Nvhcre substantial noise impact exists uicludina churches,
; day care facilities, hospiL'als, libraries; manuCactured honies, nursing homes, and schools.
• The density requirements for'an ai.iport overlay zone Nvithin the county are determined by the zone classification which the laud in the zone falls i,nto. For example, the flirport
Overlay Zone fox the Spokane Internatioual Ai.rport falls into Light Industiial and
12egional Commercial zoues. T'hc tight Zndustrial densi.ty requirements are 15 units per
acre. 'Y'he Regonal Commercial zone prohibits single family and two family duplexes,
but does allow far multifaini]y dwcllings Nvhich must ineet a 30 dtvellung unit per acre
density requircment.
,
2
• The reecnt news staries regarding the County's approval of a house and subdivision in the a i r port overla y zone stems from a change to the r,ight Zndustrial aone classification in the
Accident Potential7one B. The County ].iad adopteii a special zoni.ng ordinanec that did
not a11ow for residential use in the light industrial zone around the airport. That ordinance was amended to remove the ban on residentaal uses. However, the County
-recently adogted an inierim zoning resolution {Resolution 07-022 that removes all such
residential uses. It is also planning on amending the Zonang Code back to prohibiting _
these uses as it led to "compatibility issues" and an encroa.chment on the land regulated
by the airport and Fairchild Air Forec Base. These changES were discussed at a Plarm,ing
Commission meeting held on October 29, 2007. Resolution 07-0221 is attached to th.is .
memo as Exhibit B.
City of Spokane: The City of Spokane currently does not have airport regulatinns related to
zpning. Zts Code docs contain seetion 11.19.230 which allows the Planning Director to designatc
gj.TpOrt]la%,ard ATe1S R'1Lh111 w-hich "various heigbt, lighting, and other airpflrt zoning requiremenls
apply." However, according to the City of Spokane Planning Departnent, tlus code provision is
obsolete. The Ciry currently has a chapter in ifis Unified Devclopment Code reserved for airport
regulations, but has yet to begin drafting the regulations. T'he Plan.n.ing Departtuent anticipales .
the draftinc, process «+i11 begiu within the neat six months. City nf Spokane vwill be using
Spokane County's auport regulations as its model (see avove):
' City of Deer Park: Like Spokane Valley, Taecr Fark has established an airport overlay zone
r which is govexned by section 18.72 of its code. This section. addresses the following:
• Establishes the same four airspace and land use safety areas as Spokane County;
• Heigbt restrictYOns p.rohibiting.stcuctures which are not necessasy or incidental to airport
operations; • Prohibits certa.in uses in areas Nvhere substavtial noise impact eYists i,ncluding churches,
day care facilities, hospitals; libraries, manufacturr:d homes, nursing homes, and schools.
City of Airway Heights:- Ainvay Heights also has an airport overlay zone which is governed by
section 17.15 of its m.unicipal code. This section addresses the £ollowing:
•Establishes the saine :four airspace and laud use safcty areas that Spokane County and
City of Deer Park established in their ai.rport ovcrlay zone; •
• Height restrictions proh.ibiting structures Nvhich are not necessary or incidental to airpart
operations; ~ Frohibits certai.n ttses in areas wher'e substantial noisc unpact exi.sts including churehes,
hospitals, libraries, manufactured home pazks, nursing homes,'schools, a.nd all residentia,l
uscs. '
Town nf MilIwpd: Millwood currently does not have any airport regulations.
Although Spokane County jurisdiction.S do not liave similar provisions #o the Spolcane
Valley iJDC's Land Use Compatibility Zanes, other Washi.ngton jurisdictions do have sunilar
, provisions which are listed below:
. 3
Skagit Caunty: Section 14.16 of the Skagit Count}, Code establishes six land use "safety zones"
and max.i_mum densities for each zo»e.f.or the Skaj t County Airport. These zones have sim.ilar C
prohibited uses to the Spokaile. Valley prnhibiled uses. As for 7_one 6 of the Skagit County
Code, the following ren lations exist: ' .
•iMaximum Density: one d«7clling unit per 5 acres; tliis is inore stringent than i17e Spokane
I/alley 1 dwelling wzit per 2.5 acres. -
•.An open spae,e requircmcnt of 10 percent; -
• Existing residei~ces and residential lots arc ailowed to be replaced or built; • For churches and schoo]$, rlje density of the faciliiy shall not exceed 100 people/a.cre and
the proposcd site sha11 include oz abut d permancnt open space area;
• Indusfrial development is allowcd so loug there are na emissions released that will create
a safety hazard ta aircraft.
_ City v.f Tumwater: City of Tumwater Code section 1832 establishes and ai.rport overlay zone
for the Olympia R.egional Airport. It is coniprised of five compatible use zones. W-hile the code
docs not establish max_imwn density rcquirements, it does establish the following zones wh.ich .
regulate uses iu addition to heighfi hazards: .
• 7one 1- Runway Projection znue: prohibited arc residential dwellings, stormwater wet
. pends, rccreational facilities, schools, ciay cares, churches, hospitals, and usES that
. di,min.ish the ability of pilots to see o.r communicatc between aircrafts;
• Zone 2- 1,n,ner Approach/Dcparture Zone: prohibited arc multi-fanuly dwzUings,
recreational facilitics, schools, day cares, churches, hospitals, and uses that d,iuvaiish the
a6ility of pilots tn see oz cotnmunicate betv.,een aircrafts; . r
' • Zone 3- Inner Tuming Lone: prolubited are multi-family dwelluigs; recrzational
facilities, scliools, day cares, churches, hospitals, aud uses that diminish the ability of
pilo~.~ to see or communicate betweeu aucra(1s;
• Zone 4- Outer App.roaGh/Depart~ure Zone: prohibited are multi-family divellings,
schools, day cares, churches; hospitals, and uses that dim.inish the ability of pilots to see
or communicate beriween airerafts;
• Zonc 5- Sideline Zone: pzohibited a.re multi-fanuly dwe]Jings, schools, day cares,
churches, hospitals, aud uses that dim.inash the ability of pilots tn see or communicate-
Uetween aircrafis;
. Izesidential land divisions iu zones 1, 4& S require clusterina and open areas for
. emergency landing.
2. Federal and Statc Requirements for airport regulations
Tliere are bath state and fcderal statutes relatitig to airport regulations. RCW 36.70.547
- eequi.res al,l counties, eities, ancl to,"ms that include general aviation airports to diseourage the
siti.ng of i.ncompatible uses adjaccnt to the airport ui tl7eir comprehensivc plans aud development . regulaiians. Thc statute also requires fonnal consultation with the Washington State Department
of Tr,ansportation (WSDOT) and the ~'iling of all plans lAzth WSDOT. VvSDOT provides
. tec}uucal assistance to local govcrnmcnts iu adciressing airport land usE compa#ibility.
Unfortunatety thcrc is no case la-vv or WAC's that interpret whaf an incompatible use is.
_ Howcvcr, after filing proposed plans with WSbOT, the departnient wi.l.l provi.de suggesEions to
~ the city re;arding compliance with ihis staiute. Further, the WSllOT's Avi-ation Division offers
• some guidance regarding the deinidon of incompatible laud uses on their web page:
4 '
t`r Dependi.ng on airport characteristics, location, and amount of key open space
. adjacent to a gencral avaation airport, incompatible land uses may include public
assemblyllarge concentrations of people, residential density, intensifiy of
nonresidential development, structure, height, ba:r.ardous/explosive nldterial,
"wildfirc hazaaxds, lighdeare, aix quality and electronic signals. While the use of airport overlay zones appears to be a couunon tcchn.ique employed by many
cifies, RCW 36.70.547 does not speci.fically require this or any other particular land usc
approacb. According to MR.SC, since the statute is silent vvitli respcct to the precise melhod to
be employcd, it appears that cities are free to choose from among the siting recommendations of _
ihe Aviati.on- Division or any othez. locally determined method "unplemenfed through their
'compreliensive plan and development regulations that accompl,ish the intent of discouraging
adjacent incompatible uses. .
Pursuant to this statute, Spokane Valley filed ifis tlirport Hazard Overlay Zone draft-
ordinance Nvith WSDO'T' Aviation Division. •The ]7epartment made several suggestibns to the ,
' draft wh,ieb are reflected in the current ordinauce. (To see 1:tie WSDOT z(commende,d cha.nges,
see LxWbit A). . The fedcral statute pertain.i.ng to airport regulations. is 14 CFR 77, entitled Objects
A~fecting-Na~~igable Aixspace. ~Jhile tlus statute cioes not use the term "incompatilile uses," it does say that height hazard,s constiiutc an "obstxuction" to air travel. The Washa.ngton standard
for height hazards comes from the national standard established in ttus statute. Accozding to ttus
statute, any objeet, which penEtrates "imaginary suzfaces" are considered to be a height hazard -
~ obstruction and are not allowzd. Imaginary surfaces are defined in relation to the airport and the
ruuNvay. 1"he size af these surfaces'is based on the category of each runway according to the -
current approach, and to any future approach planveci for the runway. 14 CRF 77.25.

Airport Land Use Compatibility Program ~
City of Spokane Valley - Draft Airport Hazards Overlay December 20, 2005
VVe have several suggestions noted below.and on the draft ordinance (insertions and comments using
track changes). ' . • .
• Titles
«Te recommend that you change the namc of your ordinance to Airport Overlay Zone because it
now includes height and ]and use compatibility: In addition, we suggest you change the name of
the accid~nt safefy zones to airport corrzputible use aones or something similar. There a.re hvo .
reasons for that change. First, the regulations address niore than just safety in each zone - they.
address other measures of eompatibility as we11. Second, your objective is more than safet_y. The
objeetive ef the state ]aw is compatibility. .
. Applicability Section , • _ . _ - `Ve suggest thatyou expand the applicability sectron. `I'he following example from the City of
1itm«<ater ean bc modifed as appropriate:
Pro'visions of this cbapter shall apply to all lands, buildings, 's'tructuces; natural
features and uses - located within the rkirport (AP) 'overlay zone district as
depic#ed on the maps, excepY Yhat L'he provision.s of this chapter shall not apply to
any use that is, defined as an aviation use. All uses and activities aze at all times
subject to the underlyirr►g ~.oning district. W11ere the requirements and restrictions imposed by the Ai.rport Uverlay zone district conilict with the requiremenb of ~
the underlyinc, zone district, the more re-trictive requirement shall be applied. •
• Avigation EasementlDisclosurt Notice:
Why are both an avigation easement and disclosure notice included in the ordinarzce7 There may
be an opporhuuty to Ntiroric with the airport board to develop a nev,, policy that is defensible and
maintains protecxion for tlle airport. 4Ve would be happy to help you with that. We recommend
' that ultimately you choose a single casement or notice tfiat is filetl wich the county auditor.
Having boCh an casement and a disclosure notice lhat apply in different areas may be very
compl iGated to, administer. • Maps
o A map showiug existing penetrations of the imaginary surfaces would be very helpfiil for
administering the regulations and help you identify areas where penelrat7on of the sur.faees is -
possiblE or lilcely. tldding elevation contours to your existina map would also help illustrate
these issues and Assist the city and applicants du.ring the permiti:uig process.
a We also recommend you also add a profile view map to illustraCe actual heighls in the various
z,ones. The additional view «rould be especially helpFul during implementation, to help
. • planners at the front countcr describe the policy-to applicmts.
oA.s we discussed during our visit, the California guidelines have used updated accident data to
modify the shape ofthe safety zones, especially zone 3. I have attached the information for
your reference.

i,tnplementation. For example, yrou might note that applicants will be required to include ilte •
ground elevition and maximum structure elevation in their*application. The process yAU use ;
for determining building heights may also be appropriate. 'Z'lie followincm is an cxample from
Douglas County that'may be modified to fit your needs. It is protiably necessary to add .
language'specifying und'er which cenditions measurements by a licensed surveyor would be

~ binding sita plan or other development activity shall submit the following . :
information in addition to applicztion materials required as set forth in the DCC.
A. The site plan shall clearly delineate the location of the project to the Runway

. located in any other accident safety zone or FAR Parts 77 imaginary surfaces not described in suasection A and B. . o`Ve recommend that you not include trees and vegefacion in theheight resCrictions because it
is very difficult tn enforce. -
. _ , - . .
o It is not ne,ccssary for you tp list the Part 77 hcliport zones. `Ve checked with David Cro'Azler
about the heliport, and he told us that it uses the same tc'a.ffic patlem as other ain:raft. That
. ' means that tlie ima.ginary surfaees would also be the same, so there is no need to lisC the
heliport zones separately. .
o Tntensity limita.tions on cammercial and i»dustrial uses should alsn be listed in the table.

SRTC DRAFT Washington State Legislative Agenda
Bridging The Valley
• S3Pi1 additional for Navana Street grade separation (for materials increase),
and move prior $4 million appropriation in the FMSIB budget fram FY13 to
FY 08. In the iormation of the Transportation Partnership Act (TPA) in the '05 legislative
session, the Legislature appropriated $4 million to the Havana Street Grade
Separation Project to be made available in 2013. Since then, the Freight PAobility
Strategic Investment 8oard (FMSIB) has agreed to mave the Havana project info
the FY '07 budget cycle. 7hat funding, combined with other funding sources, was
expected to complete khe $12 million project - but that was until the
transportation construction industry began to see major escalations in fhe cost of
materials, such as concrete, asphalt, steel and fuel. Now, the estimated cost of .
completion has climbed to $15 million.
■ $10M additional for Par4c Road in FY 09-11 budget, and move prior $5 million
appropriation in the FMSIB budget into the FY 09-11 budget cycle.
In the formation of the Transportation Partnership Act (TPA) in the '05 legislative
session, the Legislature appropriated SS million for the Park Road Grade
Separation Project to be marte available in 2016. The Freight Mobili#y Strategic
Investment Board (FAflS16) has agreed to move the Park Road project into the
FY 09-11 budget cycle. By maving the $5 million into the next biennium, it will
allotv SRTC to begin the final design of fhat project, and adding $10 million will
allovr us to begin construction once the design is complete. An addilional $10.
million is being soughf firom different sources fo complefe the $25 million project.
• Request $24 million apprapriation for Barker Road separation .
Both of these projects - Barker Road and Pines Road - are new requests to
begin the next phase of the Bridging the Valley project in Washington State. 8oth
requesfs would complete those pro}ects from start to finish.
All of these prajects are part of a larger project called Bridging the Valley (BTV), which just
cleared ifs final hurdle in the federal approval process in August of'06. The Federal Highway
Administration has approved a documented categorical exclusion (NEPA Clearance) for the
entire 42-mile long project that spans irom Dovrntotivn Spokane, Washington, to Afhol, Idaho.
The Spokane Regional 7ransportation Council and the Kootenai Metropolitan Planning
Organization (in Idaho) are actively pursuing a major funding agreement with the Federal
Railroad Administration to complete this $270-million project. Securing additional money from the
states of Washington and Idaho will improve SRTC's and KMPO's chances of success at fhe
federal Ievel. In Idaho, another BTV project in Rathdrum is approaching completion af its flnal
de.sign and should begin construc#ion in '08.
Regional Concurrency
. Request $250,000 for professional services needed to establish a regional
transportation concUrrency system in Spokane County
Under Washington State's Grotivth Management Act, the jurisdictions within the urbanized counties
must ensure that public infrastructure development remains cancuRent with new growth_ Failure to
meat concurrency could result in a moratorium until infrastructure-needs are met. Currently, there is a
vrillingness in Spokane ta pursue a regional concurrency system that would address the regionally
significant transportetion faral'rties that are used by various jurisdictions throughout Spokane County. If
this effort is successful, this system is likely to be used as a model for other regions throughout
Washington State.
To date, the Spokane Regional Transportation Council has spent about $200,000 to study the
feasibility of establishing such a system in Spokane County. The SRTC board is creating a charter that
would establish a Regional Transportation Concurrency Advisory Committee to implement the system.
By successfully securing $250,000, SRTC would be able to hire an experienced firm to professionally
facilitate the development of a Regional 7ransportation Concurrency System.
Interoperability Lab for Intelligent Transportation Systems
• f2equest $350,000 to equip and startup an interoperability lab to test
hardware for Intelligent Transportation Systems Traditional revenue streams for transportation infrastructure are dwindling, and demand for nevr
capacity continues to rise. This has prompted a national investment in technologies designed to make .
the most efficient use of the existing transportation systems at the federal, state and local levels.
These technolagy-enhanoed transportation systems are called Intelligent Transportation Systems, or
ITS. 7he systems use a variety of emerging technologies to improve Vaffic flovas, such as
synchronized traffic sign2l timing, tolling equipment designed to manage traffic demand, etc.
A dilemma has arisen in the proctirement of this netiv I7S technology. The concept and implementation
of an ITS project is relatively new, and much of the computer hardvrareJsoftware thst is used to desic,~n
these systems goes untested. This is due to a laclc of expertise and equipment available in our region
to tcst these systQms. There arE very few engineers who possess the necessary experience in
computer engineering as well as transportation engineering. •
However, the Spokane Regional Transportation Management Center (SR7MC) does employ staff ~vith '
the necessary expertise to test ITS equipment and software, but the partnership betvreen WSD07,
SRTC and the local jurisdictions does not have the specialized equipment or the facilities necessary to
do an adequate job. Nor can the SRTMC staff find a public or private testing facility with the qroper
equipment or expertise.
• This dilemma puts every jurisdiction purchasing this equipment at the mercy of the vendors who sell
the equipment. Just recently, SRTMC staff was able to do a preliminary assessment of nevr ITS .
switching equipment that the City of Spokane was planning to purchase. Despite the claims of the
vendor, the SRTMC staffi was able to determine that the switches were unable to perform the function
that they vrere going to be purchased for. 7his cursory testing prevented the City of Spokane irom
proccuring $40,000 worth of inadequate ITS equipment.
8uilding and rnaintaining an ITS interoperability lab under the SRThAC would result in the development
of the most efficient ITS systems and the most efficient use ot ITS dollars statewide, Once built, this
lab could be made available to all jurisdictions of the state, and could potentially be self-supporting
through testingloonsulting fees.
- SRTC DRAFT Federal Agenda
Bridging The Valley
• Appropriate $360 million into new account that has been
authorized in SAFETEA-LU, 20154 Capital Grants for Rail Line
Relocation Projects.
• Name Bridging The Valley as a high Priority Project in that
Account.
Background:
The Bridging the Valley (BN) project will consolidate two existing rail lines that
run through the North Idaho and Eastern Washington region to improve mobility
and safety. This transcontinental corridor is key to the movement of goods
-through the United States, Canada, and to the Pacific Rim nations. Both
Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway and the Union Pacific utilize this corridor .
to deliver agricultural and consumer goods to and from West Coast ports through
Spokane and Kootenai Counties. As the fastest growing area in the nation, the
potential for incidents behveen vehicles and trains is expected to rapidly
increase, adversely impacting the ability to deliver freight and good in a timely
manner. With a benefrt cost of 3.5 to 1 it rates very high in return on public
investment.
This project spans from downtown Spokane, and cuts across Spokane Valley, in
Spokane County, Washington. It continues into Kootenai County, Idaho and runs
,throuyh the cities of Rathdrum and Athoi. The environmental work has been
completed for all of the at-grade crossings. A couple of projects are set to go to
bid early in 2008. To date, $5 million has been appropriated to Havana Street,
and $6 Million has been appropriated to Park Road on the Washington side.
Another $5 Million has been earmarked for a pedestrian underpass in downtown
Rathdrum on the Idaho side. Total estimated cost for the entire project is $270 '
million. BTV has enjoyed a good working relationship with local, regional, state
and federal jurisdictions, as well as with the two Class 1 railroads. Bridging the
Valley is considered to be a model case study in how to jointly plan, design and
implement a multi-jurisdictional, multi-state and multi-railroad corridor project that
results in what's truly best for the health, safety and general welfare of the public.
When Congress authorized SAFETEA-LU a new account was created called:
"20154 Capital Grants for Rail Line Relocation Projects." During the FY08 budget
cycle Congress finally appropriated $20 million into that account, but votes on the
final bill are still pending. If that money survives, it will be distributed as a
competitive grant. SRTC is prepared to compete for that money. If the new
account is killed in this cycle, it is our hope to have it re-appropriated in the FY09
budget.

several agencies and utility cornpanies that will be affected by the Barker Road Bridge
project. Several utilities currently cross the Spokane River on the existing Sarker Road
Bridge and others want new crossings on the new bridge. The existing utilities will need
to be moved to accommodate construction of the new bridge.
A summary of the changes required of each utility is listed below.
AT&T
AT&T currently has buried fiber optic Gable along the Centennial Trail and crossing
Barker Road under the south bridge abutment. The cable continues south along Barker
Road. We are asking AT&T to pay all costs related to the move.
AVISTA UTILITIES (ELECTRIC)
Avista has an overhead high voltage feeder just east of the existing bridgs. We are
asking thzm to move their lines farther east beyond where a contractor's cranes may
swing, but the exact location has not been determined. We are asking them to pay all
costs related to the move. Following construction, the lines may continue to be
overhead.
AVISTA UTILITIES (GAS)
Avista plans to extend gas service north of the bridge in conjunction with the bridge
replacement project. The bridge contrac#or will install equipment to support the gas line,
with costs paid fully by Avista. The estimated cost for the work is $87,400, to be paid up
front by Avista. Should costs exceed the estimate, Avista will be billed for the balance.
Should costs be less than estimated, the City will reimburse Avista for the difference.
COMCAST CABLE
Comcast currently has overhead lines mounted to existing Avista poles. These lines will
be relocated in conjunction with Avista relocating their poles. We are asking Comcast to
.
pay all costs related to the move.
Informational Memo 2/13/08
Barker Road Bridge Utility Agreements Page 2
CONSOLIDATED IRRIGATION DISTRICT #19 , District #19 plans to connect its water systems on the north and south sides of the bridge, and has requested those plans be accommodated in the new bridge. The bridge
contractor will install equipment to support the water line and provide a 45-day work
window where District #19 can install its line. The estimated cost for the work is
. $214,200. Since District #19 is a public entity, the City can seek reimbursement once
billed by the contractor. We are asking for payment within 20 days of receipt of invoice.
SPOKANE COUNTY UTILITIES
Spokane County plans to construct a sewage pump station north of the Spokane River
at some time in the future, and has requested the placement of a force main be
accommodated in the new bridge. The bridge contractor will install equipment to support
the sewer line, the sewer line and connection to the existing sewer system south of the
bridge. The estimated cost for the work is $208,200. Since Spokane County is a public
entity, the City can seek reimbursement once billed by the contractor. We are asking for
payment within 20 days of receipt of invoice.
QWEST CONIMUNICATIONS Qwest currently has nine conduits on the existing bridge that must be relocated. Qwest
has requested that four conduits be allowed on the new bridge. The bridge contractor
will install equipment to support the conduits, with costs paid by Qwest. The estimated
cost for the work is $142,500, to be paid up front by Qwest. Should c4sts exceed the
estimate, Qwest will be billed for the balance. Should costs be less than estimated, the
City will reimburse Qwest for the difference.
Once each agreement is finaliZed staff will be brining them to Council for approval. '
Let us know if you have any questions.

Uncoupling of jobs and housing markets. As gro-v%rth pressures push outward from K.ing ,
County, and as re.tirecs and telecommuters find rural and small to4vn living increa,singly
attractive, man}° smaller comniunities are experiencing agro«Tuig demand for housing from
people -whase ample livelihoods come froui outside the local ec4noiny. Tbesc high-earning
transpla.nts push up the eost of local housing beyond what uidivicluals relying on the local job
base can afford. '
These Forccs have begun to reach across the open spaces of Central Washington to reach the
Spol:ane arca. But as startling as the rccent price changes have bcen, Spokane is still in much
better shape thaii the Pugct Sound area and most of Western Washington. lndividuals and
families of modcst mean.s who could not dream oFhome ownership in the Yuget Sound area
can still afford a homc ul Spokane. This does not mean that Spokane tivil.l escapc the trencis of
the state, but it cioes mean that it has a bit more time to counteract them before they arrive
with a vengeance.
Spokane leaders can learn from the lessons of Puget Sotuid and take actions that will help
eusuze that fiature residents of the Spokane area have ample liousing choices at reasonable
prices. The 1 ask rorce has cxplored many of these actions over the past year, aild can now
begin to refinc ttie details and decide on an unplementation plan.
B. Key findings of the Task Force
The ec;onomic, market and demoeraphic analyses nf the Spokaae area suggcst t}iat while '
Spokmie reTrains affordable compared to olher areas of the state; the saane farces ttiat have
ciriven affordability down elsewherc Nuill arrive in Spokane beforc loug. Following are some
more detailed rndings froiii the Task Force's research.
ECOnUmic:
Spokane has a solid economy, but wages have been relatively flat for a long time. There
is not much on the horizon to indicate that that will change.
Spokane lzas a large and stable middle income group, bul, as cornpared to the state as a
wholc; fewer high incoine households and more low uicome households.
Scctors such as tecluiology and healthcare tlhat pay reasonably well are tending to grow,
while less well-paying sectors such as retail are not €rowing as f'ast.
Tn spitc of steady growtti, Spokane will not in the foreseeable future become a"superstar"
city that attracts lots qf very lugh-wage jobs.
Wil:h steady, but unremarkable grovvth, and slnw overall waize growth, the Spokane
econocny cannot absorb rapiclly increasing homc prices.
Dcmographics:
In-migration is the key to tuiderstanding population gra~Nqti xnd change in Spokaiie. Dqichael Luis & Associates - PagQ 2
TlZere are two disCincl kinds of migrants to ttie Spokane area, each with their own housing
needs: ~ Migrants from rtiral arezs of the state and Northern Idaho, who tcnd to Le yotu1g,
unmarried; less well-educated aticl Nvi1:h less earning power.
IVrigraiits froiil the "coast," CaliFornia anci other out-of-statc population centers. These
are even less likely to be uiarried tlian in-st:ate migrants. Importantly, migrants from
out of state are m4re likely to have collcge degrees than migraiits h-pm in Sta[e or even
ctu-rent resiclents. although n2igrants froui out-of-state have lower incornes now becausc thcy are you.cig,
they have highcr carning power over tune tban curl•eni residents.
The skr.ucture oF households is shifting. '1'he nuinber of houseliolds with children is
falliua, and now conskitules less than one-fourth of households. The biggest bul;;e is in
single-pcrson households.
lhe population is agino, «~ith e.hildren constituting a smallcr percentage of the pc~pulat:ion
-ind empty-nesters in their. 50s and 60s grox~~ing as a slice of thc population. .
Msrket cxpcctatiunS
Residents have noticeci thal home prices have been rising, but this fias not become a major
crisis. Ycople ~Nith modest but reliable incomes aan still expect [o purchasc a homc.
,
` l Price canstrained buyers wi11 tend to opt for older homes ui tlieir choice of neighborhaod.
~
1v1uiy people do not perceive t:hat Spokane is a highl,y "urban"placc; but more of a"big ,
small toAn." Very dense urban housing salutions may seem inappropriate.
Trafiic and transportation are not big factors in homcbuyuig.
There appears to be a maiket for "lifestyle" buyers who woulci choose a compact form of
ground-rclatcd developinent. The iiew downtovvn condominium mark.et is not necessarily
serving all of this lifcstyle market. •
The Spokane area lacks good examples of in.novative housin5 alternalives and there is low
a~vareness of alternatives to traditional housing types.
Politic.il
Fiousina affordability is not a big political issue vet. T.,ocal governments have not been
.focusing ou major pol.icy changes that wOUId increase the supply of modezately priced
housing.
Advocates for housuig policy changes may bet soine traction ta.lkuig about "what kind of
community are we now and Nvhat do we want to become?"
. Focus group participancs did not seern to have big ohjections to higher densily housing
;
types in terms of neighborhood fit.
`Iichael Luis & Associates Page 3
C. Where to go from here
The Task Force has ga.uied a solici understand'uig of the challenges facing Spokanc as it looks •
to uieet futurc llousing needs. Rcccntly-released population projeclions f`xom the state Qfiice
of Financiai Mdnagement (OFM) show a"medium" prajection of about 125,000 iuore people
livine ui Spokane County by 2025: Tlus is the equivalent of the popu.lation of Bcllevue and a
couplc of its adjaccnt towns. I"hc "high" projeeiion shows the equivalent oFanother Spokane
living in the county by 2025.
It is clear that accommodating another 6,000 to 12,000 people per year cacuiot be doue
through business as usual. For the Spokane area to accommodate that ma.ny peoplc while
maintaining the qualiiy of lifc and affordability that make it so attractive will require a new
way of looking at hqusing markets.
Many of thcsc potcntial changcs wcrc explored by the T'ask Norce, anci th.ree khings are worlh
nUting: '
Spokane needs it own solutions. "1"he "1"ask Force saw a lot of pictures of housing
developmeiits frocn the Puget Souncl region, but these eannot simply be importcd to Spokane.
:l"he ideas need to be adaptcd to the tuiiquc characieristics of the Spokane niarket.
• The pracess will be slow. The housing stock ofSpokane expands at only about one to hvo
percent per year, and in.novative housuig will be oiily a small percentage of that, at least at
first. ror ttlc foresccablc fiiture, the vast majority of the Spokane housing stack, both new and resale, will consist of'traditional products. . Close cooperation is needed behveen the public and private sectors. Hdmebuilders and
local governmcnts havc traditionally maintained arms-length relalionships: cities and counties
create a regulatory environment and builders oPerate within that envixocunent. That lArill not
worl: anymore. Wh.at is needed is the sort of cooperation that governments frequetitly engage
in vvith comuiercial clevelopers in pursuit of economic devclopmcnt objectives.
With the recent slowing in the housing market, Spokane leaders have the opporhuuty to get
siarted on a long proeess that will provicie atkractive hnusuig choices while hElp kccp the arca
aftordable. 13y starting Tiow, Spokane can prevent the sort of housuig price crisis that has
griPped the Puget Sound area for many years.
Next steps
In 2005, the Task rorce can expand on its work along four tracks:
Supply sicle. [:,aunch a demonstration program in one or mor.e jurisdictions ui Spokane
County that will result in new, innovative markct ratc housing dcvelopments that can serve as
-
models :Cor fuluze housing. .There is a lack of good examples o:C innovative housing ui maskets
lil:c Spokanc, and thcsc modEls will help local communities better understancl how to craft
permailent regulations to encourage iruiovative development. .
Michacl Luis 8e .Associates Yage 4
A gvad model for a demonstralion progrmn can be found in ttie City of Kirkland. Tius
- program resulted 'ui rivo excellent pro.jccts tbat were tivell received in the commtuuty. _ Kirl:land will soon adopt orciinanecs to allow cottages, dupleres aiid [riplexcs in single family
zones thrpughout the city. A similar process in dle Spolcane area could test both the mark.et
and coiiununity acceptance of housing alternatives selected by ttie sponsoring jurisdiction.
Deniand side. F-xpand on the Findings of the iocus groups to erplore in morc depth the
cmerginb market dcmaids that Spokanc can expect within the 125;000 people that will be
arriving in the neat 20 years. The foeus groups researched mostly fu•st-tuue anci lowcr-
incoiile buyers, but much inore i.nformation is needed on other market segments.
, The focus groups t:ested the appell of hausing altertiatives for those with affordability
conscrainis. Of pa,rt:icular interest ueYt will be the market segments lUOking for alternatives
for lif.estyle reasons. "1"lus would includc sirigles and cOuples without children, empty-nesters
and retirecs.
Regulatory issucs. 'Cherc are many planning and re;ulatoiy hurdles that stand 'ui the way of
110using innovatiou and malcing the most efficient use of available ]and. These issues can be
divided into two categories: • _
7oning and pernutting. Iaeterniine the besi mechanism to allow uinovalive housing types
to be built as alteruatives to exisling zoning. Ex.plore the concept of "perfor.mance
zouing" that seeks to regulate actual impacts; rather Chan just unit cotuits and building
cnvclopes.
Practical issues. Innovative housing ehallenges some basic patterns of development and
will require changes in standards for roads, utilities; fire access, setbacks; parking, etc.
CUmmunicatiou. The Task Force has enjoyed the cooperation aiid participation of a cross
section of the couununity. The communications challenge now is to expand to the broadcr
layers oCpolitical and civic leadership in the region. To begin, the Iask 1 orce fndings and
the results of'additional research should he pre_scntecl to city caLuncils, plantung commissions
fuicl civic nroup, io Start the dialog ahout "who wants to live li.ere, and -why7"
These four tracks can work concurrently and with each other. Demonstratiori projects provicie
a context to «ndertake dEmand-side research and to explore regulatory alternatives. The
coinmunication program pr.ovides Peedback to the demonstration and regulatory efforts. Conclusion
Spol:aue has been noticcd. Accord'uig tn lhe `Vashington State Deparcment of Licensiug,
wluch lr.acks the tradE-in of drivers licenses from other states, 10,000 drivers moved to
Spokane Coiu1ty from nutside Washington frnm APril 2006 to Apri12007. On..ly 1,400 af
thcsc people were i:rom Tdaho, and at least five people caine from every stafe in the Union.
-
The area keeps eetti»g ~uritten up as an affordable, attractivc place to li~~e, retire or rccreate. .
Spoka-ne has all the atteibutes that are driving growth in similar citiES around the country:
affordability, health.care, recreation, universities.
Michael Luis &Associat'es Pagc 5
With a solid, if nvt dazzling economy aud an attractive quality oC life, the Spokane area will
continue lo grow and change. The Task Force has made a start in undcrstanding the
chal(enges of accommodating thc housing needs of a growing poptilation in a land base that
wri11 re.maiu restricted. T3y contirnzing its wrork, the Task Force can help Spokanc avoid the
affordabilit3, problems that have made the Pugct Sound region inaccessible to many people.
