AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Proposed 2014 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments—Public
Hearing
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A, SVMC 17.80.140 and 19.30.010
PREVIOUS ACTION TAKEN: Admin Report—April 15, 2014
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Department received two privately initiated requests for site-
specific Comprehensive Plan amendments. In addition, the City is proposing one site-specific
Comprehensive Plan amendment. Sites approved for a Comprehensive Plan amendment receive
a zoning classification consistent with the new land use designation.
The Comprehensive Plan text amendments include amendments to six Comprehensive Plan
Elements: Chapter 2 - Land Use, Chapter 3 — Transportation, Chapter 4 — Capital Facilities and
Public Services, Chapter 6—Private and Public Utilities, Chapter 7—Economic Development, and
Chapter 11 - Bike and Pedestrian. The proposed amendments also entail minor changes to other
elements referencing the proposed amendments, such as a single reference to the City Center in the
Comprehensive Plan Introduction.
Staff presented the proposed amendments to the Planning Commission at a study session on
February 13, 2014. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the amendments on
February 27, 2014 and continued the hearing to the March 13th meeting. Following deliberations,
the Planning Commission took the following actions:
CPA 01-14 (Mirabeau Park)—voted to recommend that Council deny the specific map
amendment;
CPA 02-14 (SCRAPS -Bradley Road)—vote to recommend that Council deny the
amendment resulted in a tie, as a result the motion failed. This is being forwarded
without a recommendation;
CPA 03-14 (Barker and Sprague)—voted to recommend that Council deny the specific map
amendment;
CPA 04-14 through CPA 08-14—voted to recommend approval of the text amendments;
CPA 09-14—text amendment regarding parks and recreation: withdrawn due to timing of
Park Master Plan update; and
CPA 10-14: voted to recommend approval of the text amendment.
An Administrative Report was presented to City Council on April 15th. No public comment was
taken at that time.
1 of 2
PUBLIC NOTICE:
Notice for the public hearing was placed in the Spokane Valley News Herald on March 18, 2014
and each site was posted with a"Notice of Public Hearing" sign. Individual public hearing
notices were mailed to all property owners within 400 feet of each proposed amendment, and a
display ad was placed in the Spokesman Review and Spokane Valley Herald for publication on:
April 25, April 26, May 2, and May 3.
SEPA REVIEW:
Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA — RCW 43.21C), environmental
checklists were required for each proposed amendment. Amendments to a comprehensive plan
are considered "non-project actions" defined as actions involving decisions on policies, plans, or
programs that contain standards controlling use or modification of the environment. Additional
environmental review may be required for the physical development of the subject properties.
A Determination of Non-significance (DNS) was issued for the proposed amendments on
February 7, 2014 consistent with SVMC 21.20.070.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSALS:
Proposed amendments to the Comprehensive plan are organized into individual reports
consisting of staff reports, maps, and comments submitted to date to assist the City Council in its
review.
OPTIONS: Consensus to proceed to Motion Consideration scheduled for May 13, 2014; or take
other action as appropriate.
STAFF CONTACT: Lori Barlow, AICP, Senior Planner

Dear Lori Barlow,
Recently I received a NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING relating to Project Number CPA-03-14 that
concerns the property located at 4 N. Barker Rd., Parcel#55173.1005. Unfortunately, I will be unavailable
on the date indicated for this important meeting.
It is nevertheless important that I make a few observations concerning this proposed zoning change and
have them included as part of the public record.
I am the owner of the property located at 11 N. Barker Road, which is the corner lot located directly to the
west of the parcel of the proposed zoning change.
I believe a change from LDR/R-3 to HDR/MF-2A is too dramatic of a zoning change at this time and is
totally out of character with the surrounding area. To my knowledge, there is no other like type
development in Greenacres.
One of the problems with high concentration developments is that they often bring in a large group of
people that place more burdensome requirements on existing public services than single-family or smaller
multi-family developments. Statistically, crime is also more prominent in these high concentration
developments.
There is also a big problem with traffic at the intersection of Barker/Sprague and the road segment
between Appleway Ave. and 1-90. Adding several hundred more daily traffic events in these area will only
aggravate an already overburdened road system.
I am not against development, as such, providing it is prudently done and in keeping with the character
and needs of the community. In any event we should always seek to improve the status of our
neighborhoods and not encourage development that tends to reduce overall desirability of the
surrounding community. Bluntly, this zoning request appears more for the accommodation of the
developer and does not give sufficient deference to the neighborhood. To max out the land use in this
fashion is not good community planning.
I would theref. enc,urage the Planning Division to retain the current zoning of LDR/R-3, since it already
seems to p-r - construction of approximately 30 additional residences. This I believe is already fairly
high :et.f y • g f.r the existing neighborhood.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Eastern Washington Effectiveness Study Development - Phase 1
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 90.48, Chapter 173-200 WAC, Title 33 U.S.C. 1251-1376;
Storm and Surface Water Utility: SVMC 3.80.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: December 10, 2013, Council concurrence to bring the
project to a future Council meeting for motion consideration.
BACKGROUND: The new Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) Permit for
stormwater from City municipal sources (Permit) calls for the City to work with other Eastern
Washington jurisdictions to study stormwater program and system effectiveness. City staff, with
concurrence from staff representing 16 Cities and 6 Counties in eastern Washington, is leading
the initial effort, receiving grant funding from Ecology for the first phase of studies development
(see information, Council October 8, 2013 regular meeting minutes pgs 221-224). The permit
infers a multi-year and multi-phase project. Future phases will require other jurisdictions to take
lead of various tasks and studies to be determined, and require commitment by all jurisdictions
to fund the studies. The initial funding for the first phase, however, is 100% reimbursable for up
to $300,000 and will be led by City staff under the direction of the City Manger.
Project benefits to the City include:
1. Compliance with new Permit obligations
2. Shows partnership with other Cities/Counties in Eastern Washington
3. Allows City staff to help identify/recommend lower cost and higher value study options
4. Ecology will reimburse 100% of project for staff time, consultants, and expenses
5. Could find the tools needed to determine the "right amount" of sweeping, vactoring,
public education, bmp sizing, etc.
A request for engineering consultant qualifications was issued on April 2, 2014, with 4 firms
providing statements of qualifications on April 21, 2014. A recommendation committee,
representing eastern Washington municipal stormwater permittees including City staff, will
interview the firms. Staff will be requesting Council approval for the City Manager to enter into
negotiations with a consultant and finalize an agreement for up to $270,000 of project services.
OPTIONS: Information
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Information
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Staff time and expenses, including consultant costs up to
$270,000, to help the City meet initial Permit required work to develop effectiveness study
ideas, 100% reimbursable by Ecology funding up to $300,000 for this first phase.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Draft Update 2015-2020 Stormwater Capital Improvement Project List
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 90.48, Chapter 173-200 WAC, Title 33 U.S.C. 1251-1376;
Storm and Surface Water Utility: SVMC 3.80;
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Approval 2014-2019 SW CIP May 28, 2013.
BACKGROUND: Staff is working on a 6-year Stormwater Utility Capital Improvement Plan (SW
CIP), updating last year's 2014-2019 plan to a new 2015-2020 SW CIP. The formulation of a
project list is central to the development of the SW CIP. The draft project list reflects public
requests for service or improvement, and the identification of needs by staff or management.
The projects are prioritized and listed by year based on available local funds and anticipated
State grant funding, flood mitigation need, regulatory requirements, opportunity for cost sharing
and savings with other community projects, or as a long-term utility cost savings measure.
Many projects could be funded in part by anticipated future stormwater grants or other funding
based on the ranking and score of previous projects that the City has already received grant
funding. Where staff indicated a project as eligible for a possible future grant, only the
estimated local match is shown in the budget.
In this proposed approach, staff would seek to apply for outside funding in upcoming years
based on this list. Obtaining funding for projects on this list would thereby leverage and
maximize local funds to the highest extent possible allowing the City to do more with the same
amount of local funding. If the City did not receive grants in the amounts required for certain
projects, the City could then decide if it wants to proceed with the project with additional local
funds or wait on the project to a future date.
Staff will be requesting meeting dates in May to bring a draft 2015-2020 SW CIP to the Council
for consideration and approval.

Exotic Metals Forming Company LLC chooses
Spokane County for expansion
New manufacturing facility in Airway Heights will initially employ 150 workers
(SPOKANE, Wash.) - Exotic Metals Forming Company LLC, a Kent, Washington, based world-class
manufacturing company supplying the OEM segment of the aerospace industry for more than 48 years,
has selected a site in the City of Airway Heights, in Spokane County, Washington, for a new
manufacturing facility. Exotic Metals Forming is a leader in state-of-the-art, high-temperature, high-
strength sheet metal designs and fabrications for the aerospace industry. Their company is considered
one of the preferred suppliers of complex sheet metal assemblies
The site in Airway Heights will accommodate a 150,000 square foot building that will be home to 150 new
employees. This new location will utilize world-class lean principles and methods, and be a site for
fabrication and assembly of aerospace exotic alloy ducting. Employees will include CNC machinists, TIG
welders (manual and automated), assemblers, testers, and engineering technicians.
"This is a great day for our community and for the entire state,"said Rich Hadley, President and CEO of
Greater Spokane Incorporated. "Growing the aerospace industry in Spokane County is one of GSI's
strategic objectives and this is a great example of how economic development is a team sport. We are
proud to be home to Exotic's Eastern Washington manufacturing facility."
As the second largest aerospace community in Washington, Spokane has developed a recruitment
strategy that positions the region as the ideal place for aerospace investments. With over 110 aerospace
companies employing more than 12,000 workers, Spokane has the right infrastructure and business
climate for aerospace suppliers and manufacturers that are looking for new or expansion sites.
"Exotic Metals is another example of an aerospace manufacturer that recognizes the quality of our
workforce and the quality of our location,"said Al French, Chair, Spokane County Board of
Commissioners. "This is a true game changer we believe will significantly elevate the Spokane region in
the minds of the global aerospace community."

March 21, 2014
"Today is an important step— if not a momentous moment—toward realizing our economic goals,"said
Mayor David Condon, City of Spokane. "My hope is that others across the Pacific Northwest, and the
globe, will discover what Exotic has undoubtedly learned; Spokane has an excellent trained and available
workforce, collaborative business and political leaders, a low business cost environment, tremendous
educational institutions, and a quality of life that is second to none."
The announcement is the result of over six years of work to select and prepare the right site in the
Spokane region. The recruitment team included members from Avista Corporation, City of Airway
Heights, City of Spokane, Community Colleges of Spokane, Greater Spokane Incorporated, Spokane
County and Spokane International Airport, in addition to our state partners in the Governor's office and
the Washington Department of Commerce.
"We're excited that Exotic Metals is joining our City, culminating successful recruiting efforts led by our
officials, Greater Spokane Incorporated and the Spokane International Airport," says Airway Heights
Mayor Patrick Rushing. "The Airway Heights City Council shares a unified vision and goal to grow the
aerospace industry in and around the City. Moving forward on this vision will help make the lives of our
residents and businesses more productive and financially viable."
The 56.6-acre site, purchased from the Spokane International Airport, is located near McFarlane and
Lawson streets in Airway Heights and presents ample room for future growth and expansion.
'Working with Exotic Metals and the City of Airway Heights has resulted in a strategic win for the future of
aviation and aerospace on the West Plains," said Lawrence J. Krauter, CEO of the Spokane International
Airport. 'Today's announcement is evidence of the Airport Board's commitment to growing the economic
impact of Spokane International Airport and its support of the regional aerospace industry. We look
forward to a continued partnership with the City as we work towards furthering this goal."
Aerospace careers are paid slightly higher than Spokane County's annual average wage of about
$41,900. Based on the payroll for Exotic employees and the investment in the new facility, 051 calculates
the annual economic impact for the project at more than $100 million. Each new Exotic Metals job will
create at least one additional job in our region through the local supply chain and consumer purchases,
equaling more than 300 total new jobs.
During the recruitment process, GSI staff assisted the company with community and site tours, workforce
availability and funded training programs, municipal and utility contacts, and connections to local
manufacturers. In addition, GSI also advocated and received Governor's Strategic Reserve Funds that
were utilized by Exotic Metals for pro-planning and site readiness activities.
"Congratulations to Exotic Metals Forming Company on its expansion in Airway Heights," said Governor
Jay Inslee. 'We are pleased to support this 48-year old company as it continues to invest in Washington,
capitalizing on the tremendous expansion of commercial airplane production at The Boeing Company.
This is an important day for Airway Heights, the greater Spokane region, and the entire State of
Washington."

Re:Questions from Spokane Valley City Council
Dear Mr.Mundt:
I would like to thank you again for the opportunity to talk with both you and the Board on
April 17 and February 26 regarding the City's concern about the lack of an equitable
assessment for noxious weed control. I found it informative and helpful, and both you
and the Board were most accommodating. It appears we are on track to fix the issue.
As I indicated was going to happen on April 17, I led a discussion with our Council on
April 22 regarding the current assessment formula,as well some background information
on the Board. Based on that,our Council asked me to inquire about several topics,then I
will come back before them to provide the additional information. Our Council was
interested in the following:
1. Information (raw data and a map) showing the number of violations across
Spokane County, including in Spokane Valley, for 2011-13. I believe a copy of
the map on the wall at the last meeting would be very helpful, along with the
supporting data.
2. Supporting data for how the determination was made for the$2.00 per parcel for
the minimum fee. This would include any analysis that the per-acre charge of 6
cents or 12 cents is still an appropriate amount, and how many parcels there are
County-wide. Did the Board consider changing the per-acre charge as well?
3. Does the Board intend to cap the increase at$60,000,then adjust the assessment
amount on an annual basis to reflect this figure. Can you please address that?
4. Copies of your noxious weed schedules.
Thanks again for your assistance. If you have any questions or comments, please feel
free to contact me.
Very truly ours,
