Spokane Valley, WA 99206
hlayor Munson and members of the City Council:
Greatcr Spokane Incorporated is submitting a formal request for $65,000 in financial suppart in
2009 for economic development activiiies. This will continue a long-running strategic
partnership with the City begun in 2004.
Grcater Spokane Incorporated's Board of Directors has focused the priurities of our regional
organiztttion under an overarching umbrella of economic development to include eecruitment,
retention and expansion, workforee development, small business res4urces, public palicy, anci
marketins and coiiununications. The organization has a suecessful track record with over 150
businesses recruited to the region, creating an annual economic impact that exceeds $500
tnillion.
Research in 2005 demonstrated that aver 16,000 new jobs needeci to be c;reated by 2010 just to
maintain the then-current unemployment rate. With normal employmcnt trends expected to
produce 7,000 of these new jnbs, it left a shortfall of some 9,000. We felt this goal, while
challenging, was achievable and put plans and priorities in place to mcet the challenge.
Measured by thc Slate Lmployment Security Department, this region has addzd over 12,000 new
.jobs since 2005.... well on our way ta the 16,000 goal. While Greater Spokane Incorporated
can't and shouldn't take total r•redit; collectively the region can take a significant amount of
credit. Through your annuat investcnEnt in economic development activities - recruitment,
retention and expansion - and the collaboration between Greater Spokane Tncorporated anci our
partners we can continue to be successful.
Attached is greater detail on our busincss plan going fonvard and some detail on the return your
investment has produced for the City of Spokane Valley, its residents and the entire region. We
are Asking for your continued support and strong partncrship as we continue to position this
region as a globally-competitive business destination. .

the Spakane Area Eccmomic Development Council and the Spakane Regional Chamber of
Commerr.e. The Board of Mrectors has focused thc priorities af this regional 01-ganization

What are the speciric problem(s) andlor opportunities that you are trying to directly
address? How have you determined this prohlem andJor c►pportunity?
Spokane's economy was historically-based can natural resource uidustries such as cimber,
inining and agriculcure. 'vN"hile this er.nnomy w•a5 strong for many years, it faeecl c.antit.raints
as Che cammunity moved into more of a global ceonomy and wenc head-to-head with ,
compctition arotuid the world for husinesses and new jobs. This economic base woula face
. limited gr.owch in the future and would not bring the necessary level of new investmcnt and
,
. ,
dircct revenues to the local municipalities to support the ilemaiid on services required and
expected by residents.
Ncw businesses and new job opportunities in growth industries are what di•ive a strong
ecunomic base, in addition to attract.ing new privace inve.titment. Anil these jobs must pay ac
family wage levels that will substantially increase median Eamily income and economic
spending in che commiulity.
Spokane Vitals, an annual regional measurement report produced hy Greater Spokane
incorporated, shows lhat Spokane lags behind a numbcr of our peer commtinities in other
parts of the nation in t.he following categories:
• Employment pcr 100,000 population
• Unemploymenl race
• Average annual wage
• Per capita income
We need to cre.ate new opportunities For our cilizens tci bee.ome ancl rernain engaged in the
regional econpmy. Bul how da we ao this?
Research resulCS oF a 2005 ecanomic cievelopment strategic plan unde"vritten by the Spokane
economic: communiey projected that 16,000 new jons would need to be created by 2010 just
to maintain I.he then-currenl unemployment rate. Usingstandard employrnent prediction
tools, it was noteci that Snokane's econnmic base would provicle a notenlial growth of
approximately 7,(.)00 jobs hy 2010, lea<<ing a shortfall of nearly 9,000 jobs. While this gval is
challenging, it is achievahle by focusing on recruitment opportunities in targetecl grrnvth
indusu-ies like cechnology, health care and advancecl manufacturing.
Since 2005, the cammunity has aclded over 12,000 jubs, well on the way to lhe 16,000 new
jnbs highlighleci under the regiqnal sCrategic plsn.. Thcse johs have been well-paying, family
wage jobs in industries like health services and manufacturing, generating over $500 million
in incremental annual payroll.
The goal of Grealer Spokane Incorporated is to work with our partncrs in kceping the
community focuscd on gcnerating opportiinities for cutTeiit 3nd new residents, using the
stratcgic plan methodology. By focusing on growth industries, as outlineci above, the region
is well positioned ro talce advantage of opportunities for recruit:ment, retention and expansion
activitics, in addition to forniuie new entrepreneurial ventures. This creates an euvironmcnt
of opportunity and an enhanced tax base wliich bcnefits all eoveiYUnents atld residents.

Ilowever, we arc able to take advantage of new opportunities that arise for advertising, trade
I111SSi0IlS, trade shows and editorial coutent, etc., bascd on our target industries. We've done
that successfully in 2008 far foreign clirect uivestment, logisties ancl distribution and clean
technoloby iridustrie.s with 5everal trade shows and advertising opportunities.
Li addition, we are able to assist any local business, regardless of induscry, with plans for
expansion or issucs witli retaining the businesti and its jabs in the community. The Greater
Spokane staff is well vcrsed in helping businesses with developing rEtcntion plans, reviewing
incent.ives for growtli wid working with local municipalities on infrastructure and aSSet
huilding.

Valley?
`
The business recruitment, retention, cxpansion and job creation activities provide an
opportunity for tfle City of Spokane Vallty to inerease emplayment, private investment and

11707 E. Sprague Ave., Suite 106
Spokane, Valley, WA 99206
Dear Mayor Munson:
Thank you for the opportunity to present to you and the City Council a proposal for funding for
2009. We work with many outsfianding componies located in the Ciiy of Spokane Valley - they
are regional and national leaders in international trade. These companies lead by example in
demonstrating the value that international sales have on their company's success. This has a
multiplier effect - and the boNom line, is that international sales are vital to the economic security
of our area. If not for exports, the U.S. would have already met the definition of a recession.
In these challenging times, we know you have many decisions to make in leading your
community. The International Trade Alliance asks to be your partner in economic development.
We believe that the dollars you invest wiih us, will in turn provide you with odditional revenue to
continue to provide high levels of services to your citizens.
We hope that you and the Cifiy Council agree with us that now is the time to invesfi in economic
development. With your funding, we can continue our mission for the benefit of companies and
citizens within the City of Spokane Valley. Pleose do not hesitate to contact me with questions.
Sincerely,

• Purpose & Backqround-
Spokane, WA- based International Trade Alliance (ITA) is a public-private parfnership - a
501 c(6) corporation, dedicated to facilitating internaiional business development for
primarily small to medium sized businesses in Washington. For the last ten years the ITA
has operated with support from the State of Washington, the County of Spokane, City of
Spokane Valley, and the city of Spokane. The organization is also supporfed by the
region's business community through membership and sponsorship of programs. During
~ J 2008 the ITA is undergoing a significant strategic shift of the organization that has
already led to enhanced services for companies, more accountability, and a clear
undersfianding of how to supporf ihe economic expansion of our area's existing company
base. NEw staff and an emphasis on fee-for-service consuliing have already led to
successes for ITA and participating companies. Using figures from the US Deparfiment of
Comrnerce, we estimate that every dollar invested by the City of Spolcane Valley with the
ITA produced, direcfly or indirectly, more than $6000 in international sales by businesses
located in Spokane Valley.
With guidance from Council member Dempsey, and representatives from the City of
Spokane and the private sector, the ITA has cstablished the following performance
measures for 2009.
> Growth in reported international sales made by ITA clients
> Satisfaction of clients in ITA activities
➢ New revenue generated for ITA
9 Number o$ new companies exporting for the first time
> "Trade leadership"- How well we position our communify and companies as
globa) competitors.
. ~
Description of prolect/activity
In 2009 ITA is focusing on three major initiatives. One is to grow the consulting servites
provided to the area's business community, two is a major focus on the explosive market
opporfunities in Western Canada, and three is a U.S. State Deportmenfi new dean
development initiative that will expand exports by area companies to greater Asia.
Here are some of the activities we will be implementing during 2009:
1. Engage 15 businesses in ITA's consulfiing program to develop new market entry
strategies and increase international sales.
2. Target 50-75 New to Export SMEs to introduce to the exporting process.
3. Controct with a sales representative in Al6erta for ongoing business development for export
ready area businesses.
4. Target three overseas business development evenfis to develop partnerships for area
companies.
5. Host a"Buyers" event in Spokane to introduce Canadian businesses fo Spokane
regional suppliers of products and services.
6. Develop a training series on doing business infiernationally.
7. Develop an enhanced web-site with tools to reach more busin@sses and to support
international transactions of our clients.
8. Lead a trade mission to Asia focusing on clean technology and promoting clean policy
development.
Additional-programs and events will be organized based upon demand from dients and
to meei the internationol development needs of the business community.
During 2009 ITA will establish baseline numbers to use within our designated
performance measures. ITA will specifically target the following goals=
1. Report and frack export sales as reporfed by our clients and confirm trends through
Federal trode data.
2. Achieve a high level of satisfaction based upon client feedback. ~
3. Increase revenue from the business community to ITA by 20%. ~
4. Support 20 companies in exporting for the first time.
5. Target international recognition of Spokane and area businesses in international
publications at least 10 times during the year.
(*As these are new performance measures we are always rnteresfed in feedback on how
we can best demonslrate our impact on the economic heolth and growth of the
community!)
• Amount requested= $40,000
This request represents less than 8% of the proposed total budget for the International
Trade Alliance. It should also be noted that more than 25% of the businesses we assist
are located within the City of Spolcane Valley. Our impact on the economic growfih and
well-being of Valley-based businesses is significant. Private funds now accouni for nearly
35% of ITA's total budget, a 24% increase over 2007. This significant private sector
~ increase demonstrates how the business community values ITA's new service model and
looks to the or9anization for support in international business expansion, despite
challenging economic times.
Federal support of our Canadian and Asian initiatives requires that we secure local
matching funds. The $40,000 that we are requesting from the City of Spokane Valley will
assist us in securing nearly $250,000 in Federal funds in 2009.

Select5pokane.com, is our GlS-based regional economic development website.
Select5pokane.tom has been in service for just over a year, though its gestation took
many years previous. Called the "Site Selector," this tool links commercial real-estate
listings to a GIS web-based interactive map that allows potenttal commercial investors
to geographicaliy research potential tommercial sites with respect to Iocal competltive
or complementary businesses, population, employment and income, land use
ordinances and ather features. All this ts powered and supported by the high quality GIS
data tfiat this region has invested in over the past decades.
By implementing tfie multi-agency Site Selector we have differentiated our region from
others across the country and even the world. And we have implemented a successful
cooperative intergovernmental-private sector consortium.
Over 9896 of natlonal site seiedors use the Intemet to start their property searches for
expansian or relocation projects.

The Site Seledor website provides not only property informatian, but relates
demographic statistlcs that are specific to individual properties, as well as industry
informaUion. With ever-increasing use of the intemet and people expecting to find
these types of resources in a community, tfiis becomes critical to diPferentiate Spokane
in the global etonomy when we are competing rtot just with Boise, Calorado Springs and
Bend, but also witfi China and Ireland.
Highlights
Please find on pages 5-7 seleded graphia and tables that report on tfie first year of the
Site Selectors operation. This infarmation comes for two reporting tools - from the
Google "Urchin" system that was implemented by the vendor as part of the site frvm
day one, and from "Googfe Mafytics" that was imptemented by the Consortium fate in
2007, in response to member Interest in obtaining additional information on the origins

reRresentatives.
As you peruse this information, please bear in mind that all of chese web 'hits' and
'visits' are essenttally new vishs to the site and to our community. This site represents
many thousands on sessions, hiu and pageviews that would not occur in the site's
absence.
The activity represents not just web visits, but also access to information on tfie region.
That is - over 7500 business and demographic reports were generated. Whether for
siting considerations or other economic devetopment related activities, this figure Ilkely
far exceeds the number of reports that our econamic development staffs could provide
in this same time period. And, these reports were provided covering tfie user's specific
area of interest, at the time of users choosing, even if they live several time zones away.

Submitted by: Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commercc
9507 E. Spngue Avenue
Spokane VaLley, R'A 99206
Problem Statement: The U.S. Small Business Admin.istratiqn predicts that 85% of new job grow[h will come
frocn sinall to medium size businesses. Unfortitnately: then failure rates for encrepreneius
is high with 50% failing at the end of the first year and 95% failing in at tbe end of S years.
Succes.sful development and growth for stari up businesses can bc enhanced by prov7ding a
supPortive envirotunent througb a business incubltor. The National Assn. of Dusiness
Incubators points to an 87% success rate for new businesses ihat get their start in a business
incubator. Spokane Valley needs new businesses that will grow with the commanity.
We bclieve that by growing small businesses we are directly eontributing to local
economic development. Currently the Chamber's facility is thc only small business
incubdtor in the City of Spokane Vallcy. 1n the past 4 years Nve havf helped 14 small
businesses get a scaR ui this convnunity. The industries have included: law, aecotuitine.
website design, financial planning, mortgage brokerine, real estate, constructinn
contractulg, technical support, broadcast engu►eering, trave] consultine and a retail
boutiquc. We have done this entirely without public support but our efforts would be
enhanced sigmificantly by receiving a small amount of firndinE to enable us to rcach more
businessas NN'ho could grow and add to the local economy.
Mission Statement: The purpose of the business iucubator is to provide office space and supportive
services at an ecvnomical cost to help new businesses get started and relocating
businesses get established in the community with the end goal of creafinc jobs.
The Chamber plrtners with Washington St3te University's Small Business
Development Center to provide entrepreneur education and technieal assistance
to the tenants in the incubator.
Project Synopsis: 'The Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce provides a faeility with
space for 12 incubator tenants. The Chamber recruiu incubator tenants as well as
manaees aiid operates the Business Center lncubaior.
• For one fee, starting at $275 per month, a tenant receives a bundle of physical amenities and services which
inehide: a furnished private office space, ace.ess to high sp$ed intemet and shared ttse of conference room
and meeting rooms, use of audio-visual equipment, fax machine, phatacapy machine, and parl:ing for the tenant
and customers. Tenancv is ezpected to be short term and does noi excecd 18 months.
• Our success in expand'uiE the number of businesses senred has been impaired due to limited funcis to marf:et and
promote the existence of the business incubator and the services we provicie.
Results: Funds to recruit new or relocatiug businesses into the Business Cen4er Incubator will increase
the oppartunities for these businessts to tlvive and move out to a permanent location in Sno9:ane
Valley after an average stay in the incubator pf 12 mondis. It is possible that $0% of these new businesses
-sv211 creaie 2-3 jobs within three years. Of tliose new jobs, 60% will likely pay in excess of S30,000.
Reyuest for Funding: S15,000 to cover the costs of advertising, the ereation of marketing materials, and
membership in siate and national incubator associations to promotc die incubator. Our Investment: The Greater Spol:ane Valley Chamber of Commerce mainbins the fgeility as well as provides '
rnanagement and administrative support, valued at $60,000.

Date: 8.14.08 Re: Subarea Plan
The proposed subarea plan will be adopted after consideration of two
ordinances and a rESalution. Each is discussed in turn below.
1. Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
The first action wrould be tlze considerat'ion of an ordinanec amending tihe
Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan and adding what is referred to a.s Book
T.• Community Intent. This ComprEhensive Plan amendment will act as a
guideline for the subsequcnt development regulations and City actions
pertaining to the propert'ies that are included within the subarea
designation. The authority to add a subarea plan such as that propased
comes from RCW 36.70A.080 which states in pcrtinent part:
(2) A comprehensive pian may include, where appropriate, subarea
pians, each of which i.s consistent with tYie comprehensive plan.
Specific referenec to the subarea plan is found in the City of Spokane Valley
Comprehensive Plan specifically at Chapter TY.uo, 2.2 Land Use, Section

Location for a City Center, pages 27-28; and thc results of survey questions
tabulated on pages 27-32.
The Subarea Plan recommended by the Planning Commission also
implements the Spokane Valley ComprehEnsive Plan Goals and Policies as it
is outlined in the Planning Commission findings a-nd Recommendatian,
da.tecl July 1, 2008.
Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are governed by RCW 36.70A.130, •
hawever this ainendmEnt falls outside of the limitation to annual
amendments. The st'a.tute states in pertinent part:
Amendments may be considered more frequently tha.n once per year
under the following circumstances:
(i) The initiul adoption of a subarea plan that does not modify the
comprehensive plun poiicies and desfgnations applicable to the
subarea.
This aclian is also taken pursuant l'a SVN1C 1.9.30.010, Comprehcnsive Flan
text and ma.p amend_ments, which read as follows: Pursuant to RCW 35. 70.130(2)(u), praposed updutes to the

The approval Criteria to be uscd by the City Council, ai'ter review and
recommEndation by the Planning Commission, is as set forth at SVMC
17.80.140. The pertinent requirements for this action are as follows:
1. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the
public health, safety, weIfare, a.nd protection of the enlrironment;
2. Th.e proposed ameridment is consistent with the requirements of
Chapter 36. 70A RCW and with the portion of the City's uclopted plan
nor affected by the ameredm.ent;
The Council is also required to consider the following factors prior to
approvin.g Cornprehensive Plan amendments.
a. The effect upon the physicai erivironment;
b. The effect on open space, streams, riuers, and iakes;
c. T`h.e compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses a.nd
surrounding neighborhoods;
d. 7'he adequacy of and impact on comm.unity faciiit.ies including
utiiities, roads, public transportation, parks, recreation., and schools; ,
e. 7'h.e benefit to the neighborhood, City, and region; ;
~f. The quantity and location of land plan.ned for the proposed iand
use type and density and the demand for such land;
g. The current and projected population density irc the arecz; and
h. The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Pian.
Aftcr consideration of these factors the City Council is required to:
1. Approve the appiicatian;
2. I?isapprove the appiication;
3. 1Ylodify the application. If the modifccation is substantial, the
council must either conduct a public hearing on the modified
proposal; or
4. hefer the proposal back to the planning commission for furtrcer

2. Amendment to the Development Code.
The second action woulcl bc the consideration of an ordinance amending
specific portions af fihe recently adopted Uniform Development Codc,
spccifically that portian which is refei-red to as Book 'Iwo: Development
Regulations.
~
~ If thE Council chooses ta adopt the plan, SVMC 19.110.020 woLild be
` amended to reflect acioption of the subarea plan and map in a manner
similau- to that set forth below:
(I) The S.prague and Appleway Corridors Subarea Plan as set forth
in Appendrx D is herby ad.opted.
(2) The bounda.ries of the Subarea Plan are delineated upon the
official zoning map of the City adopted as part of this Subarea Pian
as if contained herein. ,
Adoption of ihe suba.rea will also require an amEndmcnt to SVMC 1.9.20.060
Nonconforming uses and structzires to specifically reference the diffcrcnt
nonconforming rulcs cont'ained in the subarea plan and limiting their
applicatinn to the subarea boundai-ics, and to 22.3.30.030 specifically
adding the subarea plan to the list of documents to he utilized in
detcrmining scope of improvernents and specifically iclentif~,ing the
designated interior public ways required by the plan and addidonal right of
way that may be required alongside Sprague and/or Appleway.
As part of reviewing future developmEnt requests, the City may require that
these areas be set aside as future acquisition areas or if there is a sufficient
nexus betv~een the improvements and the impact of the proposed
dcvelppment and if the requested improvEments are proportional i:o the
impact caused by that developmcnt, improvement to thosc roadways could be rcquired. -
Thcre are a. fEw genEral rules to keep in mind when adopting development
regLilations.
1. The City has the powcr to exclude speciCic uses in a particular zone.
This has long bEEn recognized as a valid exercise of police power. See
Viilage of Euclid v. Ambier Realty Co. 272 U.S. 365 (1926).
2. This gcneral authority has been codificcl in the state of Wa.shington by
RCW 35A.63.100. Municipal authority
After approval ef the comprehensive plan, as set forth above, the
legislative body, in developing the municipalil`y and in regl.tlating
the use of land, may imp:ement or give effcct to the comprehensive
plan or parts thereof by ordinance or other action to such exten t as
the legislative body deems nccessary or a.ppropria.te. Such
ordinances or other a.etion may provide for:
(1) Adoption of au-► official map ancl regula.tions rela.ting thereta
designating locations a_nd requiremEnts for one or more of the
follo,Azng: Streets, parks, public buildings, and other public
facilitics, and protecting such sites against encraachment by buildings and other physical sfiructures.
(2) Uividing the municipaliCy, or portions thereof, into appropriate
zones wilhin which spECific standards, requircments, and
conditions may bc provided for regulaling the use of public and
pi-ivate land, buildings, a.nd structures, and the location, height,
bulk, numbcr of stories, and siie of buildings and structures, size
of yards, CoL'lrts, open spa.ces, density of population, ratiio of la-nd
area to the area of Uuildings and structures, setbacks, area
required for off-street parking, protection oF access tio dircct
sunlight for solar energy systems, and such other standarcis,
requircments, rcgulations, and proCedures as arc appi-opriately
related thereta. The ordinance encampassing the matters of this
suhsectian is hereinafter called the "zoning ordinancE". No ioning
ordinance, or amcndmenl thereto, shall Ue ena,cted by the
legisladve body without at leasf one public hearing, noticE of which
shall be given as set forth in RCW 35A.63.070. Such hearing ma.y
be held before the planning agency or the board of a.djustment or
such other body as the legislative body shall dcsignate.
(3) Adoption of design standards, requirements, regulataons, and
procedures for the subdivision of land into two or morc parcels,
including, Uut not limitcd fio, the approval of plats, dedications,
acquisitions, improvcments, and reservation of sires for public use.
(4) Scheduling public improvements on the basis of recommended
priorities over a period of ycars, Subject to periodic review.
(5) Such other malters as may be athenvise authorized by law or
as the legislative body deems necessary or appropriatc to effech.iate
the goals a.nd objectives of the comprehensive plan or parts thereof
and the purposcs of this chapter.
3. Such regulation however, must, be directly related to the public
hcalth, safety and morals and the general welfare to be sustained.
4. Zoning regula.tions must be uniform and equal in opera.tion and effect,
they must contain reasanable classifications, i.e. classificatians based
tZpon achiEVing a legitimate public purpose.
5. Where cffect of zoning ordinance is to regulate otherwise free use of
propcrtj,, it must bc clear, precisE, definite, and certain in its tcrms. That
is, it should be reasonaUly clear to anyone with normal understanding.
6. Zoning d4es nat constitttt'e an unlawful takiag withaut compensation,
whc re there was valid Public PurPose for the reb- llation, no PhYsical use
or damaging of property by the public, and property owner was left with
an economically reasonable use of its property.
7. In order to impose conditians upon cicvelopment thc City must
establish an "essential nexus" bet,,veen the conditian and the specific
government intcrest being scrved and the city must demonstrate that the
requirements are "roughly proportionate" ro the proposed use of thc
proncrty in question. Often this a case by case analysis perfoi-med by
sta.ff.
This ordinancc cantemplates an area-wide rezone and is being considered in
cnnjunction with the amendments to the comprchensive plan text and maps
as sct forth above and in compliance with SVMC 19.30.020.
The criteria for adopting these area-wide development regulations, in
addition to the general principles set forth above, is found in the first two
criteria seti forth above and conta.i.ned within 17.80.150 H.
After cleliberation the council is rcquired to:
,I. Approve the appiication;
2. Disapprove the ap.plication;
3. Modify the upplication. If the modif~.cation is sttbstantial, the •
council m.ust either conduct a public heariny on the modifced
propasal; or
4. Refer the proposal back to the planning commission for further
consideration.
3. Resolution adopting the Book III: City Actions.
The final council action required would bc a resolution approving Book ZTL•
City Actions. This document lists the actions and investrnents that the city
may takc to initiate and incentivize corridor redevelapment. Future action
by the Council will be required to implcment any of the identified actions.
These actions could be modified or changed by modifying the resolution at
any future date as council so desires. There arc no specific guidclines for
adoption of this Rcsolutian.
