amendments CPA-01-08 through CPA-15-08. Staff also presented information addressing Council questions
on CPA-03-08 in relation to Title 17.80.140 (H).
BACKGROUND: The Community Development Department received eight requests from the public for site-

amendment automatically receive a zoning designation that is consistent with the new Comprehensive Plan
Map designation. Additionally, staff initiated Comprehensive Plan text amendments to Chapter 1-
Introduction; Chapter 2- Land Use; Chapter 3- Transportation; Chapter 5- Housing; Chapter 7- Economic
Development; Chapter 8- Natural Environment and Chapter 9- Parks, Recreation and the Arts. Staff added
Map 2.2 indicating Potential Annexation Areas (PAAs) for the City of Spokane Valley.
Comprehensive plan map amendment proposals are organized into individual reports consisting of application
~materials, staff reports, comprehensive plan maps, zoning maps, aerial maps, vicinity maps, transportation
maps, and letters submitted to date to assist the City Council's review.
The Spokane Valley Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on May 8, 2008, to consider the
proposed map and text amendments. After hearing public testimony, the Commission made recommendations
on CPA-01-08 through CPA-15-08 excluding CPA-07-08 and CPA-08-08. The Commission continued the
public hearing for CPA-03-08 to May 22, 2008. On May 22, 2008, the Planning Commission deliberated on
CPA-03-08 and held a hearing on CPA-07-08 and CPA-08-08. After hearing public testimony, the Commission
made recommendations on CPA-03-08, CPA-07-08, and CPA-08-08.
OPTIONS: Adopt Ordinance 08-011; remand to Planning Commission for further consideration; or conduct a
public hearing on proposed deviations from the Planning Commission's recommendation.
RECOIIfIMENDED MOTIONS: Move to accept Planning Commission recommendation and findings and to
adopt Ordinance 08-011.

PtaR. While ft Ptan guides growth snd
development tn the Ciry, it atso provide.s a
ptan for pceservabon of the natural
environment that is such an tmporbnt component of the community.
What is a Comprehertsh►e Plan?
The role of the SVCP fs bo cfearly state our community's vlslon for its future, and to articutate a ptan for
accampflshing this vision over a 20-year period. The SVCP seeks to answer a number ot questions:
• Whai atass are most sultab{e for devebpmEnt or redevelopment7
. What areas shou{d be preserved in their natural siste?
• Where should growth oocur?
. How can wa manage that growth to reahze our visbn fa the community7
• How shouid we address our current and future tranaportadon needs?
. F{pyv many parks do we need, of what size, k#nd and where7
. What st6ps shou{d we take to encourdge desirable economic devFtopment?
• Hauv can we ensure an adequabe suPPly of afbrdabte housing for ali income ievels7
. What utiiities and publlc servtces wltl we need?
. How wip the oommunih+ ReY for eIi these things?
Each of the SVCP chapters addresses these questions, and more, in the areas of transporta6on, tand
usa, housfng, capital facilitles, eeonomic development, utllKies, and parics and recreatien The answers
bnn the ImpiErnentation stetements, which guide tfie achieverttent of those strategies. The
impiementation strategies within each chapter are used to guide the devebpment of new reguletlons
and guidelines or revise existing reguleOons. The SVCP aiso sets a deer framework for where the
cammunity wiil need to epend money on capiSal fadlides, how much, and identfies availabie funding
sources. As a whole, !fie SVCP ofiers a t{extble frameworic for Spokane Valiey's tuture, allowing iot
adaptstion to changfig oonditions ovef tlme.
Requirernerns d the Growth Martaganwd Act
The GMA (RCVY 38.70A. 140) was p~ssed by the Washlrtgton State legisEature In 1990, wtth
amendments added fn 1991 and subsequent years. The legislature passed the CMP► In recognitbn ot
the rafle of growth that was occurring throughout the state. The {e9islature was resQandtnq not oniy to
the rate af growtfi, but aEso to the type and location of growth.

Twathirds of the siate's population and household growth in the 19849 took place In unincorporated
areas, and produced sprawiing subdivisians, commerc.ial sVips, and urbanizatlon of land, which onty ten
years befflre, was niral. This rapid growth pattem resufbed in increased traffic congestlon and
inadequate public services, and has threabaned forestland, agncultura) land, and environmentalty
sensidve ereas such as weUands. These Impacts have been (ett in the Spokane region, jusi as they
have been in ather parts of the state.
The GMA requires that each JurisdicUon produce a camprehenslve pian that contsins, at a minimum,
eiements pertaining 60 land use, transportation, capftal facilitles, eoonomic devebpment, parks &
recreation, housing, and privste uUiifies. These elements must be cansisterrt with one another.
Jurisdicfions akso are requtred to adopt polkies and regulatlons protecting resouroe tands end aitical
areas, such as sgricuttural fand, wmtlands, and hDksldes. Each Juri6diction must coorcllnaie its plan witfi
the plarts oi surrounding Jurisdictions. The GMA also requires tt►at each city d8s(gnate an urban growtt
~ {~~r,~~~ area (UGA). The UGA definea the area within wfilch the aty entkfpates tt oould proWde the
tull range of utban services at sort►e tlme in the future. It atso represents the area within whlch the aty
will oonskier annexadons and the boundary beyond which it wiA not annex during this period.
Perhaps what most dlstinguishes the GMA fram previous planning srahrtes is the requirement tha,
public services be avaitable or funded at some designated level ot service before developrnent ms;
occ,ur. if a jurisdiction cannot provide servioes to an erea, :'•--n rn~:y nr-!t area. This requirernent is often refemed to as'concumancy '
Development of countywide planMng policles (CWPPs) is Lij c;,:. (.;1Mfi t,,) Fr, s u r~ r uo; ;a
and regbnal approach in the development oi comprehensive plans. CWPPs provide an over!'
framework of policiss within which each local govemment Jurisdiction will develop or update

afso be coordinated and cartsis6ent with the plans of adjacent jurfsdictions. The GMA direds bcal

Perhaps the most far reaching of the GMA impacts is the iegal status it gives comprehensive plans.
Prior to GMA, pians have largely bsen advisory and had less legal standing than r+egutadorts. Onoe the

estimaied at 88.M &5;640. Spakane Val{ey encompasses approxfmately 38.5 square mftes of land

annuai retail sales in 2006 of ~2,GOC-:900 1.981.785,489.
Past Mcoryoratlon Efforts
Incorporetion oi the Spokane Velley had been a topic af disc.vssion for several decades_ The first study
of incorporst3ng the Valfey took pkaoe In 1963 by tfie Legisiatjve Committee of the Spokane Valfey
Chambef of Commerca. A study entitled 'lncorpotation of a City In the Spokane Valley' written by
Wllllam H. Roberts, Charles Widc and J. R. Alley was released in Deoember 1963. Aithough a formal
vote on incorporation did not take place at the tJne, the issue of incorporation of the Vaqey was being
promobed.
The first Spokane Vatbey incorporadon eflort tfiat led to a formal vobe began In 1985. In November 1985
the Boundary Revlew Board of Spokane County (8R8) approved the proposal with modifled
boundaries. Befiore tfie inoorporation was placed on the belbt. the BRB decWon was chalier►Qed in
Spokane CouRty Superior Court ARer additional iniormation was considered, the BRB wbed bo deny
the proposal In December 1987.
In 1990, the City of Gh1ei Joseph was proposad In trie Spokane Valiey. Aftef four public hearings, the
BRg necomrnended dertiial of the proposed city (state Eaw had been changed and the BR8 oould not
deny a proposa! if the poputatlon was over 7,600). The incorporetjon vras on ►he Navember bellot and
was oniy able to gain support from 34 percent of the voters. State iaw neQuires that if an kCOrporation
vote Wls to get 40 percent of the vobe, the lncorporation proposai cennot be brought back on the ballot
ftx lhree years.
In 1993, proponents of incorporatlon oondnued their e#foda and e petition to Incatporabe was fifesi wrth
the BRB. After severel publlc hearings, the 8R8 again reoommended denlal d the proposed
irmoQporaiion due b the hrge srnount of rural land induded wRhin the proposed clty boundary. The
prupasai nnce again faiied but recehred 44 peroeM o( the vote, whfch enabled Incaporation proponents
to bring the matter back without any time resVictions.

tnspired by the 1393 vota, mcarpuration backers again iniUaic7d the mcofporation process in 7995. i ne
matier was again defeated by the vobers In 1993, but did receive aver 40 percent of tt►e wte, which
enabled the proposal to be brought badc the following year.
immedistely after the 1993 elecbon, proposals bo inoorporate five separate clties In the Spokane Valley
were filed with the counry. Onty Mro of the five proposed cities were certified by the oamty auditor and

The GMA requires that Comprehensive Plan land use elements include the fotlowing:
• Designate the proposed general distribution, Iocation end extent ot the uses of lartd for
hatrsing, c4mmeroe, industry, recreation, open spaces, public uUlttles, public faGtitles,
and other appropdate land uses;
• Popuiabon densfties, buiiding intensroes, end estmates of future popuietbon growtii;

• Review draEnage, flooding, and starmwaDer runotf In the area and nearby jurfsdictfons and
provide guldancs tor correctlve adlons to mftate or cleanse those dfscharges that
pallute water oi the state.
2.1.2 County Wide Pianning Polkles
Tha County Wide Planning Pollcies (CVYPPs) requ{red by C3MA' provide a ragional frameworlc to
achleve the goais of the GMA. The CWPPs are e refinement of policy direciion contained In the
GMA and are a result of a collaborative prooess between Spokane County and the atles and
towns withln the County.
The CWPPs provide a poHcy framework ior both the caunry and its respecdve cMes. Adherence
to these policJes ensures tlhat plans within the county are cansistent wfth one another. These
palicles address such tssues as the deslgna#ion ot urban growth areas, land use, atfordable
housing, provlslon of urban services for future development, transportation, and contiguous and
orderiy development The follow(ng are specific CWPPs that relate to the Land Use Elemene:

projected bo occur In the county for the succeeding 20-year perlod4.
"Urban growth" refers to growrth that makes Intensive use of land for the location aF
buildings, structures and Impermeabte surfaces to such a degree as to be Incompatible with
the pdmary use af such land for the ~oduction of bod, other agriculturai producis or Nber,
or the exVactlon af mineral resouroes .

2.3.5 Housing
Housing Is a basEc humen need and a maJor factor In the quafity of iife for Indlvlduals and famllles.
An adequate supply of affordable, attractlve, end functlonel housing is fundamentai to achleving a
sense of oommunlty. The central issue related to land use is suppiyin8 enough land to
accommodate proJected growth ior a range of incomes and households_ PresenUy, housing ls
provkled primarity In single-famlly subdivisions.
Thls pfan sets forth strategies to Increase housing optlons and choices. The Land Use chapter
advocates changes to current development codes to increase flescEbilky In platting Iand and
encaurege hausing as part of
mixed-use developmanis in
commerciai areas. The (stier CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
provides an oppartunity to locate POPULATION ESTIMATES

became the state's nfnth [argest city and second largest in Spokane County.
Spokane Valley recelved an OFM populadon esdmate for April 1, 2044 of 83,950. This nevr
populatlon esbmete moved Spokane Valley from the state's ninth largest city to the state's e►ghth
targest ciry. The 2004 population astimate reflects an annual Increase of wporocimatelv ~,1.4
percent over the ciry's 2003 populaben estimate. The mQS_t recent QFM estimate for Saokane
Valley ts 88.280 as of Avrii 1. 2007. This fiaure reoesenta an annual arowth rate of
anoroxtmabetv 1.5 oercent. The average annual growth rate fs acaroxlmabetv 1.9196 over lhe ~
year oeriod from 2003 to 2007.
Future popuiation growth ls forecasted at the siate snd county level by OFM. Thts future
populatton growth was distrlbuted between )urisdfctlons and unincerporated Spokane Caunty
through a methodotogy prepared by the Spokane County Steering Committee of Elected Officials
(SCEO). The Ciry of Spokene Valley was not allocated population growth orlginally because the
Clty had not been incorporated wtien tfils actian took piace. However, the County did allocste
populadon to the 'Spokane Valley IUGA', whkch (ncludes the new citles of Spokane Valley and
Liberty Leke.
Th(s process resutted in e population growth aflocation of 39,431 to the Spokane Valley IUGA
This (UGA aiso inciudes areas wlthin the UGA that are stlll in unincorparated Spokane Cour!.
The graph above indicates Spolcene Valley's 20 year populaWn using a 1.5°l6 and 2.5% anr.

Using the 1.5% annuel growth rate, which is conslstent with past estimated growth rates in c. _
Spokane Valley area, the estimated 2025 populabon of Spokane Valley is 114,765 or an (ncrease
of 30,815 persons. The 2.596 ennuai growth rate results in a 2025 populaflon o! 141,011, ar•

Spokane Valley proposed a papulattan ellocation of 20,666 to the SCEO based on the regional
land capacity methodology. This request was praposed as an "inter(m' request based on thc-
land/populaUon capacity within the existing corporate boundarles of Spokane Vaitey. The reesor.
for this request was based on the afgnificant lasues related to waste water treatment capaci;.y

2A.2 Land Capacky Analysls
The GMA does not require a Papulatior, anu Land Capacity Eiernent .o be „ncluaed in tne
comprehensive plan. However. GMA does require that Lend Use, Housing end Capital Facilities
Elements include populatlon densities, bullding tntensftles and estimates oi future populat(on
growth. The GMA also requlres a Land Capacfty Analysis, or the theoretical hotding capacity of
the designated Urban Growth Areas, which by deflnitian includes citiss. By assigning the
expeded populstion growth to the results ot the Land Capaoity Analysis, the area required to
accommodate tfie population grawth is shaped.
Countywide population forecasts are fdentified by the CWPPs, as one cdterion for conslderation
in developing a reglonal methodalogy or oountywide popuEation allocetlan. The countywide
growth target is based on the OFM growth management population forecast for Spakane County.

within the exkstlng cEty limits of each aty. The rationale for thls racommendatfon was based on
the situation regarding sanitary sawer tfiroughout the entlre Spokane region.
It Is estimated that the Spokene County treatment plant w!p tun out of capecity in 2009, and the

to expand the Spokane County end Llberty Lake plants from the Washington State Oepartment of

constrafnt for both Jurisd{ctions to provide this vthal urban serviae, the SteBring Cornrntttee
forvvarded a recommendetion to the Spoksne County Board of County CommEssioners bo allocate

school-park site may serve In a number of capacities, such as a neighborhaod park, youth athletic
flelds, and a school. The importent outcon-►e in the jofnt-use refationship is that both the school district
and the city's park system benefit from shared use of faciiitfes end land area.
The optimum s¢e of a school-~ is dependent upon its intended use. The size cnteria estabfished for
neighborhood and community park ctassficatlons shauld be used as appropriate. The school lands,
including the building and special use faciifUes, s!'►ould not be cansidered in the level of service (LOS).
Establish(r►g a deariy defined joint-use $greement between tfie school district and ciry is critical to
making school-park relationships workab{e. ThEs ts particularty impoctant with respect to acquisition,
development mainbenance, liability, use, and programming of facilities,
9.2.4 Community Parks
Community parks are larger in size and serve a broader purpose than nelghborhood parks. Their focus
ts on meeting the recreation needs af several neighbofioods or large sections of the community. They
allow for group acbvides and oifer ottier tecreational opportunides that either wefs not feasible or not
desirable at the nelghborhood park level.
A cammunlty park w111 serva two or more nelghborhoods. The service area can range from a one-hatf
mile to i#see- t~_mfle radius dependfrtg on population densities and other factars. Cornmunity parks
shoutd be setved by arteria{ or majar cdlector streets and be easlly aa;essible from the entire senric2
area by way of Interconnecdng traits. Community parks should accommodate both passhre and actrve
recreation activities. Incarporation of natural features such as lakes, ponds, rivers or other natural
resource features is highly desirable. Land within 100 year flood plafns shau{d not be used for siting
recxeation faei!ities, but should rather be used for passfve recteatbn areas.
Community partcs are typically devebped far both active snd passive recreation uses. Although activve
recreaUon factlftiss are intended to be used fn an informal and unstructured manner, reserved and
programmed use is compadble and acxeptable. Hawever, community parks are not normally intended
to be used excluslvely far programmed adutt athletic use and toumaments.
PutenUal actlve recreation facllides indude:
• Lighted competitive athfedc facitities such as soccer, softball, tennEs, bas8ball and basketball;
• Multipurpose treils for watking, jogging, exerclse, and transportaUon;
• Recreation center, swimmfng pools, or group meeting facllides;
• Support fecilltles such as an intemal road system. Iighted parking areas, rest rooms,
concesslons, and secudty Aghting;
• Landscaping for b8autification of the facilities and perimeter landscaping to screen the facility or
activities.
9.2.5 Reglonal or Larga Urban Parlcs
Regional or large urban parks seive a broader purpose than cammunity parics and are used when
community and nefghborhood parks are not adequate to serve the ne2ds of the community. The focus
of regiortal parlcs is on meeUng oommuMty-based recreation needs, as well as praserving unique
(andscapes and open spaces.
Due to the size and intenstty of recxeabon acttvities, regional parks should be tocated with immediate
access to an arterial street Regbnal parks should not be located in residential areas given the
poEential impact from traffic, Ifght, glare and noise. A regional park should be centrally located within
the proposed service area, to the extent possible. Typically, regional parks are a minlmum of 50 acres
fn - _-~p::.4.
In addition to neighbortrood and community park fadlities, new regional parks slwuld indude some or
all of the following:
• Lakes, farests, and nature envirunment educatEOn facilibes;
• Muttipurpose trails;

• HistoridCultural/Social Sites - unique bcal resources offaring historical, educabanal, and
cultural apportuntties. Examples fnclude historic dowrrtown areas, perfortning arts parks,
erboretums, omamental gardens, perfarming arts facilitles, indoor theaters, churches, public
buIldings and amphitheaters.
• Recreatlon Faclgies - specialtzed or single purpose faciites. Examples fnGude cornmunity
centers, senior oenters, communlty theaters, hockey snenas, marinas, golf courses, and aquatlc
perks. Frequently communfty buildings are located in a nelghbahood ar community park.
• Outdoor Recreatian Fadlities - Examples inclutie tennis centers, softbali oompiexes, and
sports stadiums.
Facility space requirements are the primary deberminant ot site size. For example, a gotf oourse may
require 150 acres to acoommodate all the neoessary fadlltles and parking, whereas a community
center wfth parking may fit on 10 to 15 acres. Special use facllities should be strategicaily located
rather tt►an serving wel{-defined neightwfioods or areas. The site shoufd be focated so that it (s
accesslble from arterisis or oollectar streets. Locadng e special use fac(Itty [s variabie depending an the
type of facility.

the above regional methodology_ The origfnai analysfs included tlie A1cott Joint Pianntng Area, which
has been de{eted from the infannadon below. The resutts of thls analysis wete pfesentsd tn tfie SCEO

Spokane Valiey prapasad a populabon allocatlon af 20,666 to the SCEO based on the regional land
czpactty methodology. Thts request was proposed as an 'interim' request based on the
Iartdlpopulatlon capacity wtthin the existing carporaie boundaries of Spokane Va!(ey. The reason for
tfiis request was based on the significant issues related to waste watef Vestment capaclty. Onoe tfie
waste water Essues have been resolved, Spokane Valley will prepare a revision to the population
allocation and present this Information to the SCEO. The Spokane County Board of County
Commissloners app+oved this populabon allocabon in November 2004. in 2008 the BoCC aaprQYed via

people with money who don`t care. He also said we don't need the development, with
the schools and the parks and the kids - the kids are on skateboards, the kids are on
bikes - it is wrong.

surrounding uses. Mr. McCormick stated that based on the size of the parcel and ofiher
constraints that the heights would not be an issue, but that the allowed uses were

Memorandum
To: Dave Mercier, City Manager; Mike Jackson, Deputy City Manager; City Council
From: Mike Basinger, AICP - Senior Planner
Date: June 24, 2008
Re: CPA-03-08
On June 3, 2008, the City Council held a review session on the proposed Comprehensive
Plan Amendments for the 2008 annual update. At the review session, City Council had
additional questions on CPA-43-08 in relation to Section 17.80.140H (Comprehensive Plan
Amendment Approval Criteria) of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC).
Staff has provided supplemental information for the following findings and factors to clar'rfy
the Planning Commission's recommendation, some of which is reiterated in the staff report
under III.A and III.B.
FindinQ 1a: The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, 'safety, welfare, and protection of the environment.
Staff Response: The City's adopted policies of the Comprehensive Plan state in part `the '
economic development strategy is to promote a more diverse economy [thatj would achieve
a better balance between jobs, housing and support the City's desired quality of life."
(Section 2.31) The proposed amendment offers additional opportunities to achieve the
balancfe by expanding the land-use area available for further diverse development. This
supports the welfare of the community by providing additional employment opportunities.
Specifically, this proposal, as Office, can serve a variety of functions including ac4ing as a
transition area that tends to generate less traffic and noise and is smaller in scale than
industrial, cornmercial, and higher density residential uses. The safety and health of the
community can be protected by providing transition areas that buffer differing land-uses, so
that similar land-uses are allowed to develop contiguously. Design regulations, which
provide adequate transition between different uses, will be essential in preserving both
existing and new development.
The stated comprehensive plan goal of the office designation is to °create appropriate
development standards [which] allow commercial, residential, and recreational uses in
conjunction with permitted uses in Office designated areas.° (LUG-8, LUP-8.1) The
creation of contiguous parcels with a definitive boundary (the street) ensures that the future
development will provide an appropriate mix of permitted uses acting transitionally between
the residential neighborhood and the corridor development.
,
The proposal has had an environmental review under the SEPA process and a
Determination of Non-significance was issued indicating that the proposed comprehensive
plan change has no significant environmental effects. This determination was not appealed.
The applicant for this Comprehensive Plan Amendment has indicated that he will develop
the property for elderly housing. Many seniors, and most of those over 75, require some
level of in-home services, a need that increases with advancing age. A continuum of care
that makes available in-home services, pragressing through assisted living congregate care
and long-term facilities should be located near medical and community services and
shopping.
Proximity and access to medical services and shopping is important to senior citizens, who
are likely to be more dependent on family, friends, and public transit service than other
sectors of the population.
Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan (SVCP) policies support the proposal as follows:
HP-1.6 Encourage the development of housing for seniors and other special populations
along transi# corridors and within walking distance of shopping and medical facilities'.
Findinq 1 b: The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter
36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City adopted plan not affected by the amendment.
~ Staff Response: The Growth Management Act (Chapter 36.70A RCV1) does not directly
address site specific changes at the local jurisdiction level; however the GMA does contain
state-wide planning goals that provide the basis for local comprehensive plans that do
provide some guidance.
State Wide Planning Goals:
Goal 1: Urban Growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public
facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner.
Goal 4: Housing. Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments
of the population of this state, promote a vanety of residential densities and housing types,
and encourage preservation of existing housing stock.
Approval of the requested comprehensive plan amendment would meet both state-wide
planning goals cited above. Goal 1 encourages the development of urban areas where
public facilities exist to serve the proposed development. The proposed location is served
by all necessary urban services and provides for appropriate in-fill development with the City
of Spokane Valley. The City has adopted development regulations that are designed to
address specific impacts related to new development such as off-street parking,
landscaping, lighting, setbacks and height and bulk limitations. New development on the
subject property would also likely trigger review under the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA). SEPA provides a tool for the City to evaluate specific impacts from a proposed
development and require conditions or restrictions necessary to address the potential
impacts from new development that are not adequately dealt with by the City's development
regulations.
. .
\
The requested Garden Office zoning district does provide for certain types of housing,
specifically assisted living facilities. These facilities provide a housing type that is becoming
increasingly in demand given the number of persons at or near retirement age. The 2000
federal census revealed that 14% of the Spokane Valley population was 65 or older and that
over 20% of the City's population was in the 45 to 64 year age cohort. This trend is
expected to continue and potentially increase in the 2010 census.
Findinq 1c: The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions
beyond the property ownees control applicable to the area within which the subject property
lies.
Staff Response: The City's Interim Comprehensive Plan designated the Argonne and
Mullan corridors as Mixed Use Area. Mixed Use Areas were intended to enhance travel
options, encourage development of commercial uses, higher-density residences, office,
recreation, and other uses. Implementing zones for Mixed Use Areas under the adopted
Phase 1 Development Regulations implementing the Interim Comprehensive Plan were
Urban Residential-12 (UR-12), Urban Residential-22 (UR-22), Neighborhood Business (B-
1), Community Business (B-2), and Industrial Park (I-1). The zoning of the corridor was
mostly Community Business (B-2).
The City of Spokane Valley's adopted Comprehensive Plan designated the Argonne and
Mullan corridors as Office. The Office Comprehensive Plan designation is intended primarily
for office development with limited retail or commercial uses. The proposed amendment to
Garden Office responds to Office Comprehensive Plan designation intentions for
development in the Argonne and Mullan corridor. The Garden Office zoning designation will
provide for a transition between the Office designation intended for medium to high-rise office development and the residential neighborhood.
Findina 2a: The effect upon the physical environment.
Staff Response: The comprehensive plan amendment request is a non-project action under
SEPA. At the time of the submittal of the commercial building peRnit application, an
additional SEPA review will be required to evaluate the impacts of the use and proposed
struc#ure on the physical environment.
.
Findina~2c: The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding
neighborhoods
Staff Response: At the project level, an environmental review will be performed. The
applicant will be required to adhere to the zoning standards and uses referenced in Chapter
19.60 and Appendix 19-A and the development standards specified in Chapter 22 of the
Spokane Valley Municipal Code. It should be noted that even this property was zoned
residential, this property could be developed as a school, church, or daycare with similar or
greater impacts to the neighborhood.
Findinq 2e: The benefit to the neighborhood, City, and region.
Staff Response: The Comprehensive Plan states that the Office designation is intended
primarily for low-to-high rise office development with limited retail or commercial uses. '
Several developments within the Argonne/Mullan Couplet, Pines Road, and Evergreen
Road corridors embody good design and are representative of desired future office
development. The project is adjacent to properties that front Argonne Road. At time of
development, standards in Title 22 (Design and Development Standards), specifically 22.70
(Fencing, Screening, and Landscaping) will reduce impacts on adjacent properties by
providing visual separation and physical buffers between land uses. The Comprehensive
Plan recommends integrating sidewalks, bike lanes, landscaping, and area lighting in office
areas to provide a safe and attractive working environment. There are existing sidewalks on
Argonne Road. Traffic from the proposed use shall be directed from 1111arguerite Road via
Alki Avenue to Argonne Road and not routed through the adjoining neighborhood.
Findinq 2f: The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and
density and the demand for such land.
Staff Response: 373 acres of land is designated Office in the Comprehensive Plan, of
which 121 acres is zoned Garden Office. This accounts for 41 percent of the total land
designated Offiice in the Comprehensive Plan. The Office designation along the Argonne
and Mullan corridors was implemented to eradicate "strip commercialn along the corridors,
and ultimateiy allow for redevelopment under the office designation. The proposed
amendment will support new office development along the Argonne corridor.

Memorandum
To: Dave Mercier, City Manager; Mike Jackson, Deputy City Manager; City Council
From: Mike Basinger, AICP - Senior Planner
Date: July 15, 2008 Re: CPA-03-08
On June 24, 2008, the City Council deliberated on the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments for the
2008 annual update.
Staff has provided supplemental information on Average Daily Trips (ADT), P.M. peak vehicle trips, and
A.M. peak vehicle trips for the following use scenarios. Computations were based on the applicant's five
parcels totaling three acres.
MF-1 (Apartment) GO (Office) GO (Congregate Care Facility)
~ Estimated 36 units 45 employees SO units
development potential
Average daily trips 242 trips 149 trips 162 trips
P.M. peak vehicle trips 24 trips 21 trips 16 trips
A.M. peak vehicle trips 20 trips 22 trips 11 trips
The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation manual was used to calculate trips
associated with the preceding uses. Employees associated with the Office use were calculated using Clark
County's Buildable Lands Plan Monitoring Report. Using employment density by acre figures from the City
of Battle Ground, City of Camas, City of Vancouver, Ciry of Washougal, Ciry of Yacolt, and Clark County
staff determined the average employees per acre to be 14.87. Staff removed the high (City of La Center)
and low (City of Ridgefield) values from the sample. Units associated with the MF-1 district were
calculated at 12 units per acre. The assumptions for units associated with the Congregate Care Facility
were drawn from the applicant's application.
Average daily trips associated witfi the apartment complex was approximately 242 trips; this is 93 more
trips than an office complex, and 80 more trips than a congregate care facility. It should be noted that
many offices are open behveen 8:00am and S:OOpm, and are usually closed on weekends. Traffic
associated with the congregate care facility had the fewest A.M. and P.M. peak vehicle trips. Staff
concludes that the congregate care facility generates less Average Daily Traffic (ADT) than MF-1
~(apartments), and has the lowest amount of A.M. and P.M. peak traffic.
~
Staff has also provided supplemental information comparing the Garden Office District (GO) and the %
Multifamily Medium Density Residential District (MF-1).
The following analysis identifies uses that are outright permitted in the GO and MF-1 districts in the
Schedule of Permitted Uses (Appendix 19A), uses allowed in both districts are not included in the analysis.
It should be noted, that the proposed use of assisted living is permitted in both the GO and MF-1 districts.
The GO district permits the use of an apparel/tailor shop, art gallery/studio, bookstore, college or university,
computer service, espresso service, financial institution, massage therapy, microbrewery, museum, and
offices. The NiF-1 district permits the use of a catering service, church, recreation facility (club, hall, or
lodge), community residential facility (greater than 6 residents, no more than 25), convalescent home,
nursing home, day care adult (6 adults), dwelling (congregate, duplex, multifamily, single-family, and
townhouse), family home (adult and child), golf course, repeater facility, schools (K-12), and a self service
storage facility.
The max height in GO is 45 feet and the max height in MF-1 is 40 feet. GO requires a minimum setback of
20 feet when adjacent to residential and MF-1 requires a minimum setback of 15 feet for front and flanking
streets.
Chapter 19.60.020.8.4 (Garden Office District) of the SVMC specifies that traffic shall be directed to the
nearest arterial or collector street and shall not be routed through an adjoining neighbofhood. There are no
standards regarding traffic circulation in the MF-1 district.
If the comprehensive plan amendment is denied, and the applicant desires to pursue the MF-1 district, the
proposal would have to apply for the 2009 cycle. Staff's opinion is that development under multi family
would potentiatly have greater impacts to the surrounding residential area. The intent of the
comprehensive plan for the Mullan/Argonne Corridor is to develop primarily office uses. '

consistent with the new land use designation. City staff also initiated a number of Comprehensive Plan text
amendments, Amendments are proposed to Chapter 1- Introduction; Chapter 2- Land Use; Chapter 3-
Transportation; Chapter 5- Housing; Chapter 7- Economic Development; Chapter 8- Natural Environment

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Charitable donations in right-of-way
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: On May 20, 2008, firefighters from Spokane Valley
Fire District and representatives from Muscular Dystrophy Association provided information to
the Council, and requested the ability to perform their fundraising in the same manner they
always have.
BACKGROUND: Part of the information provided included copies of code provisions frorn other
cities around the state and country regarding efforts to allow charitable solicitation from the
right-of-way. In particular, Council was directed to a copy of the Tacoma code, which
specifically allowed the "Fill the Boot" event as an exception to the prohibition of soliciting funds
from the right-of-way. The Council uvas requested to adopt a similar approach, and exempt Fill
the Boot from any prohibition. (See attachment 1, previously provided by Fill the Boot
proponents) Following the presentation, and discussion by Council, the Council instructed staff to contact •
their counterparts in Tacoma to find out how the implementation has been, and whether there have been any problems. The Council also indicated it wanted information regarding elements
that could be required under a permit. Several items were called out, including a traffic training
class approved by the City for all participants; establishing minimum liability insurance levels;
and time limitations.
I contacted Mike Smith, an attorney for Tacoma who represents and advises their police
department. He was involved in drafting Tacoma's provisions, along with attomey Kim
Gerhardt. He advised that Tacoma did not specifically exempt Fill the Boot, declining to do so
as requested. He said we were given a draft, and not the final version. I pulled a copy of their
adopted provision from their website. (See attachment 2)
The adopted code does not exempt out Fill the Boot, or any other similar entity. Instead, it
provides for a special event permit system that identifies a number of conditions that must be
met prior to an event being allowed. At the time of submitting this, I am awaiting a call back
from Ms. Gerhardt to find out how their permitting system is working. I hope to be able to
update you verbally in person.
OPTIONS: Do nothing; instruct staff to draft a special permits provision regarding such activity.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: CTED Emerging Issues Grant - Letter of Support
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Washington State Growth Management Act (GIUTA) - RCW
36.70A.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council approved a CTED Collaboration Grant in
2007. The Emerging Issues Grant will provide a critical link between the existing work outlined
in the Collaboration Grant awarded in 2007.
BACKGROUND: Recently, the Washington State Dep'artment of Community, Trade and
Economic Development (CTED) notified jurisdictions across the state that an emerging issues
grant was available. The goal of this grant is to provide financial assistance to local
governments for projects that are critical to carrying out their Growth Management Act (GMA)
plan and occur outside of regular growth management grant application periods.
Local Grant Coordination
~
The local coordination of this grant application has been provided by Susan Winchell, Director of
the Boundary REView Board for Spokane County. The City of Spokane Valley and the City of
Liberty Lake have agreed to be the lead agency for the grant application. The Emerging Issues
Grant being requested is $20,000.
A working group comprised of representatives from cfties and the county was organized and
include Chip Pilialoha, City of Ainway Heights; Ken Pelton, City of Spokane; Steve Davenport,
Spokane County; Doug Smith, City of Liberty Lake; and Mike Basinger from the City of
Spokane Valley. This group has met on a couple of occasions to discuss the grant application
and identify a scope of work to use in completion of the grant application materials.
The group identified the project as evaluating differences in land use (zoning) and development
standards in the Spokane metropolitan Urban Growth Areas (UGAs). Berk and Associates was
selected to complete a Fiscal and Service Delivery Analysis that examined the fiscal
implications that Spokane County would face if the county's existing UGAs were to become
incorporated. The goal of this analysis was to serve as a basis for Spokane County's broader
collaborative planning process - a process that is focused on solidifying and enhancing
interlocal agreements regarding the UGAs.
Based on these findings, the group has proposed a foundation for a service-delivery/revenue
solution that could put Metro-area jurisdictions and Spokane County in a position to be
successful in the long-term. This involves articulating a vision for service delivery for Spokane
County in the metro urban growth areas and the non-urban areas of unincorporated Spokane
County. This is the main goal of the Emerging Issues Grant proposal.
.
! The deadline to submit the grant application to the State is July 18, 2008. A requirement of the
grant application is that a letter of support from each participating jurisdiction be included in the
grant application materials.
OPTIONS: 1) Authorize mayor's signature on attached draft letter of support; 2) Decline
participation in the emerging issues grant. ~
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize Mayor Munson's signature on the
attached draft letter of support.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The project will require staff time for continued collaboration
as in-kind contribution to the project. All grant funds will be rec.eived and distributed by the Ciry
of Spokane Valley. The City of Spolcane Valley will not retain any portion of the grant funds to
compensate their staff time.

Re: Letter of Support for CTED Emerging Issues Grant
Dear Mr. Nwankwo:
Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the CTED Emerging Issues Grant. As
described in the application, the City of Spokane Valley and the City of Liberty Lake are
taking the lead in this vital project for the Spolcane Metro Area. The Emerging Issues
Grant will provide the critical link between the existing work outlined in the CTED
~ Collaborative Planning Grant awarded in 2007 and the successful completion of
interlocal agreements for joint planning in urban growth areas. By determining the
revenue and service delivery needs for the Spokane County Metro Urban Growth Area
and identifying the service delivery and revenue options for the County, we can continue
the momentum genzrated as a result of the very successful initial collaborative planning
efforts. We see the tasks we are proposing as critical toward establishing a basis for
coordinated planning within the metro urban growth areas.
We believe the activities proposed as a part of the grant will provide a strong foundation
for the development of mutually agreeable interlocal agreements and set up the cities
and the county for long term success: the cities will have mechanisms to influence land
use, permitting, and infrastructure impacts associated wvith development in the urban
growth area; and the County will have a clear servic$ delivery and revenue structure that
atlows fiscal sustainability.
We appreciate the support that CTED is now providing and has provided in the past and
look forward to continued support for funding these unanticipated but essential tasks for
our collaborative eNorts.
Sincerely,
~

Honorable Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez
U.S. Department of Commerce
140 and Constitution Avenue NW
Washington, D.C. 20230
Dear Honorable Secretary Gutierrez: I am writing in support of the International Trade Alliance's (ITA) Market Development
Cooperator Program partnership proposal for the Canadian American Sustainable Energy
Security Initiative.
In today's economy, international trade has become vital to the growth of Washington
businesses, their ability to remain competitive and to the health of our economy as a whole. For
ten years ITA's programs have provided guidance, expertise and new opportunities for local
businesses to access global markets. The work of the ITA is increasing because intemational
~ trade opportunities in the region are growing, not shrinking. Nowhere is this more apparent than
with our Canadian neighbors.
With over $220 billion already underway in capital investments supporting the development of
the Oil Sands region, Alberta, Canada represents a bounty of export opportunities for our
region's construction and infrastructure manufacturers and service providers. The ITA's March
2008 trade mission to Calgary and Edmonton, which was led by Congresswoman Cathy
McMorris-Rodgers, made clear that there is simply not enough supply within Canada to meet
the development demands of the region. The ITA facilitated over 100 meetings in Calgary and
Edmonton for participating Washington companies and will return in September to continue the
work it has already begun.
The Spokane region's close proximity to Alberta uniquely positions the ITA to create sustainable
martcet opportunities for Washington construction, infrastructure products and services in the
province. ITA is the only provider of international business assistance in eastem Washington;

region's business commurtity Chrough memhership and sponsacship o# progtams. This local publ'+c and private
funding will ensure continued support of ITA initiatives moving forward.
The International Trade Alliance and the Inland Northwest business community are uniquely qualifred to
implement the Canadian American Sustainable Ene oy Secunty (CASES) initiative. As the largest business
community between Seattle and Minneapalis, the Inland Northwest is the natural partner with Alberta and Eastern
British Columbia. The region is positioned to be the United States' gateway to business opportunity in North
America's largest oil production region and fastest grot+ving economy. Investment in the oil sands region is slated
to exceed $20 billion a year for the foreseeable future. •

Department af Commerce in the amount of $210,000 over lfiree years witfi a total projed budget of $650,000.
These funds will enhance the impact of local funding to take advantage of the massive infrastructure investment in
WQStern Canada by Pacusing on wfiat leading indus[ries in ttie Northwest can provide including; construction
materiafs, engineering services, construction equipment, and madular housing. In addition, the demand for a
strong workforce is critical in Western Canada and shortages exist. '1'herefore the program will aiso work to
promote workforce training and medical services Chat can be provided from our region to workers in the oil sands
region. The CaSES IniriaYive seeks to filf the demand for products, services, and workforce that the Canadian domestic
