I. GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: SPOKANE TRANSIT AUTHORITY Agent: CATHY HOGLEN, ADAMS AND CLARK, INC. Owners: Thistle, emand, Fatt~, witters, Oliver, Paap, and Haase. Proposal: A request to rezone an approximate 4.5 acre site from Agricul tural Suburban (AS) and Multi Family Suburban (MFS) to Urban Residential (UR-22) for the purpose of developing the Spokane Transit Authority - Valley Transit Center inciuding a shelter for up to ten (10) buses, a park-and-ride area, and a kiss-and-ride loading area. 7he center is intended to serve as a destination bus stop and transfer facility. Under the current zoning ordinance, there are three (3) zones on-site: Multi-Family Suburban, Agricultural Suburban, and Commercial. The commercial Zone allows a transit center outright, but both the Multi-Family Suburban and Agricultural Suburban iones would require a conditional use permit. The Multi-Family Suburban zoning on-site will automatically transition to a Urban Residential (UR-22) zone in 1991 under the County's new zoning code. The new zoning code is intended to implement the County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan which identifies the site for "Urban" development. The Multi-Family Suburban and Agricultural Suburban zoned parcels on site are proposed for a rezone to Urban Residential (UR-22) under the County's new zoning code. A transit center is allowed in the Urban Residential (UR-22) zone as a public and semi-public use. 3_ ~ ~ ~ • 1 . ; I. GENERAL INFORMATION (continued) Proposal: (continued) Although no residential development is proposed by Spokane Transit . ; Authority, they are requesting the Urban Residential (UR-22) zone to a develop alternate land uses in the event the Transit Center is not i built and for residual land value in the event the Transit Center use is discontinued. ~ ~ Location: The site is generally located at the northwest corner of Fourth Avenue and University Road in Section 20-25-44. II. SITE ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan: URBAN Category - Inside General Sewer Service Area (GSSA) Boundary - Inside Priority Sewer Service Area (PSSA) Boundary - Inside Urban Impact Area (UTA) Boundary Land Use Element: The site is within the Urban category of the Comprehensive Plan with the Major Commercial category located to the north. The area to the north has developed into commercial uses; the proposed Urban Residential (UR-22) zone provides a good transition zone to serve as a buffer between said commercial and the existing residences to the south of the site. The Urban category indicates it is primarily a residential category but provides for neighborhood commercial, light industrial, public and recreational facilities with guidelines for compatibility concerns. The Comprehensive text states that high density residential, light industrial and neighborhood commercial will be located near the heavily travelled streets, and that Multi-Family uses will usually be a transitional use located between Single Family Residential and the more intensive areas. Oue to the variety and mix of land uses and activities found in the Urban category, there are few land use activities that would be inappropriate. These can be buffered from view by distance, landscaping and screening to make them compatible with one another and provide a pleasing environment. Circulation Element: The Arterial Road Plan adopted September 30, 1986, indicates the following needs for right of way necessary to accomplish future development of the Land Use Plan: - Fourth Avenue is designated as a"Collector Arterial" with right of way needs of 70 feet. - University Road is designated as a aPrincipal Arterial, Without Controlled Access"; right of way needs between 100 feet and 130 feet. Page .5a . ; . ~ ' ~ ~ ~ II. SITE ANALYSIS (continued) Comprehensive Plan (continued) - The abandoned railroad right of way, (Major Transportation ; Corridor) is designated as "Principal Arterial, Controlled Access High Capacity"; right of way needs between 100 feet and ~ 160 feet. The above described right of way can be protected by dedication and , occasionally through roadway easements that run with the land. ' Right of way needs as conditioned by the County Engineer are adequate to accomodate this project and near future traffic volumes, however, the above policies provide for the long term traffic needs to accomplish the land use policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Normally, right of way needs are accomplished by dedication of land, however, in this instance, said dedication may reduce the available parking on site which could effect the funding of this project. Additionally, said right of way and improvements are in the distant future, therefore, the easement is an acceptable method of satisfying the Arterial Road Plan Policies. Transportation Section of the ComQrehensive Plan: The Transportation section provides written guidelines (policies) that support the implementation of the "Arterial Road Plan" and related Mass Transit facilities which adequately and efficiently serves the existing and future travel needs of all residents within Spokane County. The text of the Comprehensive Plan encourages developments that use public transit or modes of transportation other than the private automobile and indicates the County should support such facilities. Encourage park and ride facilities in conjunction with commercial developments and high population areas as a means of reducing auto congestion and air pollution, and to conserve energy. Satellite parkinj with express bus service should be improved and extended to serve more residents. Zoninq: Existing on SITE: Multi-Family Suburban (established 1931) Multi-Family Suburban (established 1978) Agricultural Suburban (established 1968) and wi thi n : Aquifer Sensitive Area Overlay Zone To the NORTH: Commercial (established 1971) To the SOUTH: Multi Family Suburban (established 1962) Agricultural Suburban (established 1958) To the EAST: Multi Family Suburban (established 1968) To the WEST: Agricultural Suburban (established 1968) Zoning in this area dates back to 1937 and intermittently since then with area-wide zoning studies that occurred in 1957 and 1968, also individual zone changes occurring parcel by parcel. The University Page .33 ' • a ~ a II. SITE ANALYSIS (continued) ,I Zoni na: (conti nued ) s 4 site was zoned in 1957 as part of one of these area-wide zone changes , while the areas south of of the railroad right of way as another " area-wide zone chan e in 1968. The g past zoning studies and a commitments given for this area are now almost twenty (20) years ' old. Present proposals before the Hearing Examiner Committee should ; be evaluated on current zoning trends, the Comprehensive Plan and ~ existing land use issues. In that regard, this proposed Urban Residential (UR-22) Zone provides a good use buffer from the shopping center to the North and the future use of the railroad righ-of-way as .c a major transportation corridor. The high density zone of Multi i Family Suburban (MFS) is partially existing on site, and is located - to the south and west. These Multi Family Suburban (MFS) zones will : cross over to the Urban Residential (UR-22) in 1991 as determined by , the "Cross-Over Zone Matrix" adopted by the Board of County Commissioners. Land Use: ° Existing on SITE: Five (5) Single Family Residentials (SFR), . commercial greenhouse and nursery, and existing unimproved temporary transit center. , To the NORTH: Abandoned railroad right-of-way (future transportation corridor) and University Shopping Center. To the SOUTH: Convalescent home and Single Family Residentials To the EAST: Laundromat, office and vacant. To the WEST: Apartments and Single Family Residential (large lot) As described above, this area contains a mix of Single Family ' Residential (SFR), high density residential, office, and commercial ~ uses. The site is bordered by three (3) arterials (north, west and south). The unusually large landscape buffers around the site's ~ perimeters will enhance the project visually and provide , compatibility between uses as well as serve as an adequate buffering . for noise, light and glare, dust and activities. ~ Site Characteristics: ~ Site Size: Approximately 4.5 Ac res ~ Existing Buildings: Five (5) Single Family Residentials and commercial greenhouse. Topography: flat + a . ; Agricultural Summary: The Urban category of the Comprehensive Plan ~ is not intended to protect agricultural land. : ~ Adjoining Streets: Railroad right of way (future transportation ~ corridor) to the north of the site is a 100 foot County right of way unimproved. 4i 4 ~ ~ Page.B4 w M II. SITE ANALYSIS (continued) , ' Site Characteristics: (continued) ~ , Adjoining Streets: (continued) University Road to the East of the site is a 60 , foot County right of way improved with four lanes, sidewalks and curb. ~ 1 Fourth Avenue to the south of the site is a 40 • foot County right of way improved with two lanes, no sidewalks or curb. . The County Engineer is requesting 10 foot additional right of way . a dedication along University to accomodate future widening of University. Also, that the applicant shall reconstruct Fourth Avenue from University Road, west approximate]y 700 feet, including left ` turn channel, traffic island and drainage, controls and street lights to be installed at all entrances of the Transit Center. Proposed Site Plan: Use: Transfer facility, park-and-ride and kiss-and-ride facility. Proposed Buildings: One Building(s) Footprint Area: 5.33% of site Percent of Open Space Free of Building and Paving: 31.4% Maximum Structure Height: 28 feet Building Setbacks: Meets or exceeds minimum setback standards Parking. 236 spaces Other Site Plan Considerations: The site plan meets or exceeds all applicable standards of the Urban Residential (UR-22) zone. The ~ Planning Department has considered the Transit Center and parking a reas as a prima ry use and has therefore required setbacks of the above as if they were buildings. ' note: - The site plan submitted for review by the Zoning Hearing Examiner ' Committee is general in nature. Detailed review to determine compliance with all Ordinance regulations and conditions of approval is recommended to be administrative approval by the Zoning Administrator, and to occur at the Building Permit stage. III. SITE DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS Density: The proposed Urban Residential (UR-22) zone allows twenty-two 122) residential uni ts per acre, as does the exi sti ng Mul ti-Fami1 y Suburban (MFS) zone on site; to the south and to the east across University Road. Should the Transit Center not be built, the site could be used as an apartment complex. Page '35 0 ~ . * . . . - ~ III. SITE DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS ) ~ (continued ~ Design: The design allows for a separation of pedestrian, auto and bus , traffic; provides a bus shelter for up to ten (10) buses, a ~ park-and-ride and a kiss-and-ride loading area. The site is also to serve as a bus transfer facility. Access to the site forms a continuous 0 loop connecting Fourth Avenue. y Landscaping/Bufferinq: The site plan indicates five (5) feet to ninety ~ (90) feet of landscaping along the north property line; thirty-five (35) , ; feet along University Road; fifteen (15) feet, fifty (50) feet and sixty ~ (60) feet along Fourth Avenue with ten (10) feet along the west property ~ line. Existing trees will remain as possible. The bus transfer portion { of the project is located mid-site approximately three hundred (300) ; feet west of University Road. This will be the main point of ingress ~ and egress to the site. ~ ' Signaqe: As limited by Section 8.04.080 3. of the Zonin9 Code which basically allows one sign attached, twenty (20) square feet and one . detached sign fifteen (15) square foot limited. : Circulation/Access: The site plan has been designed to provide a safe separation of pedestrian, automobile, and bus traffic. One access is planned to University Road and five (5) accesses to Fourth Avenue. a Stormwater Orainage: Compliance with Spokane County '203 Stormwater = Runoff Regulations is required (approximately 60% of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces). ~ Sewage Disposal: Project to hook-up to the County's sanitary sewer project. ~ : Water SupQly: Modern Electric Water Company is able to provide water service although arrangements hade not been made. ~ ~ Fi re Protecti on : Di stri ct # 1 . ; Critical Materials/Use Activity: Compliance with the Aquifer Sensitive Area Overlay Zone is required. •i x IY. SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW , : An Environmental Checklist was submitted by the sponsor and was E reviewed by the County Planning Department. The review considered ~ the specifics of the proposal, other available information, County ~ ordinances, other regulations and laws, possible standard Conditions ~ of Approval, the Generalized Comprehensive Plan, and other County , policies and guidelines. The Zoning Administrator has determined r that "No probab16 significant adverse impacts" would result from the proposal being developed and has issued a Oetermination of : Non-Significance ("DNS"). ; i Pa ge .34p , , IV. SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (continued) The "DNS" was circulated to three other agencies of jurisdiction and other agencies/departments affected by the future development for review and comment. The "DNS" comment period ends June 3, 1987, and was advertised 15 calendar days before said date in the newspaper, by letter to adjacent property owners within 400 feet of the proposal, and by notice on a sign posted on the proposal site. The Hearing Examiner Committee may consider additional environmental related testimony and the "DNS" at the public hearing. V. PLANNING SUMMARY The proposed zone change to Urban Residential (UR-22) and the use is consistent with the "Urban" category and the "Transportation" Section of the Comprehensive Plan. The issue of future needed right of ways has been adt,ressed by the Planning Department. The Nearing Examiner Committee will need to consider this information. The zoning is consistent with the adjacent Multi-Family Suburban (MFS) zones and the zoning trend being established south of the railroad right of way. The proposed Transit Center is compatible with adjacent uses especially in light of the unusually large landscape buffers indicated on the site plan. The site is adjacent to planned arterials adequate to serve the traffic generated by this facility. Based on the above, the Planning Department recommends approval of this zone change. VI.

The Center is intended to serve as a dest inat i on bus stop and transfer f ac i 1 i ty, and i s here i nafter referred to as the "Proposal", and the Board of County Commissioners of Spokane County having held a public hearing on July 21, 1987, and having fully considered all testimony presented thereat, and allowing one week for additional written testimony, and further having individually visited with the site and vicinity in question, and having rendered a decision on the llth day of August, 1987, approving said proposal, does hereby make the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. That the proposal is generally located at the northwest corner of 4th Avenue and University Road in Section 20-25-44. 2. That the proposed rezone request consists of approximately 4.5 acres of land and the existing Comnercial zoning on 1.3 acres which requires NO Board action and allows the proposed use. 3. That the adopted Spokane County Generalized Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates Urban type usage of the area encompassed by the proposal and provides for neighborhood commercial, light industrial, public and recreational facilities to be located near the heavily travelled streets. That due to the variety and mix of land uses and activities found in the Urban category, there are few uses that would be inappropriate. 4. That the provisions of RCW Chapter 43.21C, (State Environmental Policy Act) have been complied with and the Board concurs with the issuance of a declaration of non-significance. 5. That the Spokane County Hearing Examiner Cornmittee held a public hearing on June 4, 1987, concerning the proposal, subsequent to which by Findings of Fact, Decision and Order dated June 4, 1987, they approved the proposal subject to certain conditions. 6. That the existing land uses in the area of proposal include single family residences, apartments, convalescent home, laundromat, offices, University City Shopping Center, abandoned railroad right of way, future transportation corridor, existing unimproved temporary transit center, and a cormiercial greenhouse. 7. That the proposal, as designed and conditioned, is compatible with existing uses in the area. 8. That the proposal, as designed and conditioned, is not detrimental or otherwise harmful to the public hea.lth, safety and welfare. 9. That the applicant has demonstrated changed conditions, including, but not limited to those items discussed in Finding #15(f)(c), since the original area-wide zone changes in 1937, 1957 and 1968, also, individual zone changes occurring parcel by parcel warrants a zone change from Agricultural Suburban and Multi-Family Suburban to Urban Residential-22 (UR-22). 10. That the proposal is consistent with the surrounding land use classifications and does not grant a special privilege or rights to the applicant different than those enjoyed by adjacent property owners. A- 8'' 0:03 FINDINGS OF FACT, DECISION AND CONDITIONS PAGE TWO 11. That the Board finds that the proposal is located within the recorded water service area of Modern Electric Water Company and that the District indicates there is an adequate system capacity and that they are desirous of serving the proposal for domestic, fire, and irrigation purposes. The proposal will have to make arrangements with the District for water service. 12. That the proposal is situated within the recorded fire service area of Fire District #l. 13. That the proper legal requirements for advertising of the hearing before the Board of County Comnissioners of Spokane County have been met. 14. That on the llth day of August, 1987, the Board of County Conmissioners of Spokane County at a regular meeting did approve the proposal subject to certain conditions. 15. That during the course of the Board's public hearing on July 21, 1987, the appellants, in their appeal, generally speaking raised six (6) issues, including: A. Whether adequate analyzation of other sites had been made; B. Whether or not the project was needed; C. Whether or not the site was consistent with the neighborhood; D. Whether or not the site would cause air pollution and increased noise; E. Whether or not the project made adequate provisions for security; and F. Whether or not the project would generate increase.d traffic. The project as mitigated by conditions of approval addresses the environmental and land use issues raised. In particular, the record indicates: a. The Transit Authority advised that 12 sites were reviewed as potential sites, with 5 sites receiving more intensive analyzation with regard to topography, location, zoning, traffic and air pollution, among other factors. The proposed site, the testimony indicated, was the most appropriate site in light of the evaluation factors. b. Although the Prosecuting Attorney's office advises that the "need" of a facility is not necessarily an appropriate decision factor, the Transit Authority did testify that the proposed project, in their opinion, was needed. c. The Planning Department advised that the project is within the Urban category of the Comprehensive Plan, with the major Commercial category located to the north. Although the Urban category is primarily a residential category, it does provide for publ ic and recreational faci 1 ities, with specific guidelines to insure compatibility, the project is consistent with the Urban category, and that the project is not inconsistent with the surrounding land use categories. The site itself was zoned in 1937, 1968 and 1978, respectively. Zoning in the area dates back to 1937. The University City site immediately to the north was zoned in 1957 as part of one of the area-wide zone changes. Areas south of the railroad right of way were rezoned in 1968. To the north of the site exists an abandoned railroad right of way and University City shopping center, To the east and west of the site exists a laundromat, office and apahtments, as well as single family residential uses on larger lots, and that the large landscape buffers around the site will make the project consistent with surrounding land-use categories. d. Testimony at the public hearing indicated that pollution from the site would be no greater than that presently generated. The STA authorities indicated that carbon monoxide is not a major component of diesel fuel. Likewise, buses do not leave their motors idling unless the temperature falls below 5. Finally, new regulations with respect to diesel engines will be in effect in the irmiediate future, which the project will be subject to. These facts support the position that the project will not have air pollution problems on the surrounding property owners, to include the nearby convalescent home. ~ . J87 C 903 . . FINDINGS OF FACT, DECISION ANO CONDITIONS PAGE THREE 15. e. Security issues were raised with respect to the proposed project. The project architect advised that the site will be designed in such a manner to promote security. For instance, the site will have no enclosed structures, no lavatories, except for employees, which will be locked, and wi11 include furniture which will not lend itseif toward vandalism. f. Finally, traffic issues were raised at the public hearing. The Transit Authority advises that the major traffic f rom the facility wi11 occur between 8:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M. After 8:00 P.M., there are only Z bus routes using the facility, and one after 10:00 P.M. A signal, to be traffic activated, will provide for an easy flow of traffic. From the forego ing Fi nd i ngs, a rev i ew of the P 1 ann i ng Department Staff Report dated June 4, 1987, and the Staff presentation of File No. ZE-52-86, the Board hereby in approving the proposal does make the following conditions: 1. That the conditions set forth in the Spokane County Zoning Hearing Examiner Findings and Order dated June 4, 1987, on pages 1 through 8 are hereby adopted as conditions of approval.

University Road, Third Avenue, and Fourth Avenue pzovide the primary access to the proposed site. University Road ~ is a well traveled r.orth-south arterial prr,vidinq access to SpraqQe Avenue to the north, a major east-west i arterial in the area. Third Avenue west of University ~ Road is used to access t.he temporary transit center, but it is only paved a few hundred feet before it turns into a dirt roadway. Fourth 8veuue is a paved two-lane east-west collector street. Stop signs are located on ~ east-west streets at intersections in the areas, and a traffic signal light is located at the intersection of ~ University Road and Sprague Avenue ~ Traffic counts taken recently by the Spokane County ~ Engineers Department on FQU rt:: Avenue cast of the Univer- sity Road intersection are *e&r average daily trips ~ (a.d.t.'s) , and west of the intersection there are Ii~ <t a.d.t.'s. The level of service on Fourth Avenue is rated ~ A. The capacity of Fourth Avenue is 9000 a.d.t.'s. Witn ~ the groposed road improvements on the segment of Fourth Avenue abuttinq the site, the capacity will be 14,000 ~ a.d.t.'s at the intersection. ~ University Road north of Fourth Avenue has 11,500 a.d.t.•s and is operatinq at about a C-D level of service. The existing capacity of University Road is about 15,000 a.d.t.'s and with futuze improvements, it ~ will be ahle to provide a capacity of 26,000 a.d.t.'s and ~ improved level of service to C or better. ~ Traffic enqineering studies for University Road have indicated a need for capacity improvements south of Second Avenue. Potential improvements include wideninq within the existing corridor and an alternative of ~ developinq a one-way couplet system utilizinq University and (7berlin roads. The funding availability is uncertain ~ at the present time. The County Engineer's Depastment is ~ recommending three lanes from Fourth Avenue down to Sixteenth Avenue to acconanodate traffic for at least the ~ next fifteen years. After fifteen years, there may be a need for developinq a one-way couplet system. ~ ~ ~ ~ Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center ~ Page 29 b. Is site currently served by public transit? If not, what is ~ the approximate distance to the nearest transit stop? ~ There are currently sa.x buses using the temgorary transit ' center site. After completion of the new Valley Transit ~ Center, the East Sgraque bus that stops in front of U-City will likely start using the center. I ° ~ c. How many parking spaces would the completed project have? How mariy would the project eliminate? No parking will be eliminated on-site. New parkinq areas ~ will be developed on-site. The existinq gravel lot will be abandoned, as shown on the site plan. The primary bus access is planned at Fourth Avenue with other access ~ available for autamobiles on University Road and Fourth Avenue. To the qreatest extent possible the site plan attempts to separate bus, vehicle, and pedestrian traffic. Parkinq on-site will acconanodate up to approxi- ~ mately 236 vehicles. Additional area is provided for parking motorcycles and bicycles. A kiss-and-ride area where passengers can be dropped off and picked up is also ~ provided. d. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or improve- ~ ments to existinq roads or streets not includinq driveways? If so, generally describe (indicate whether public or private). ~ An evaluation of the Valley Transit Center site was completed by tlhe Sgokane County Engineers Department. Initially bus access was planned at University Road, but after the County's review, it was changed to Fourth ~ Avenue. The pri.mary concerns of the County in regard tc access at University Road include: the increase in left-turriing movements on University Road and potential ~ traffic conflicts; too shozt of a weave utovement for buses from the access point at University Road to make a left turn onto Fourth Avenue; and potential traffic ~ conflicts due to the closeness of the Spraque Avenue and University Road intersection. The County has determined the following improvements will be required: (1) a ten-foot right-of-way dedication for future roadway imgrovements for University Road; (2) the County will improve University Road to include a raised concrete island with left-turn bays at the intersectians of Fourth Avenue and at Second Avenue (future) at the time University Rvad is widened= (3) additional right- of-way dedication alonq the north side of Fourth Avenue, ~ r • ~ ~ Environmental Checklist valley Transit Center ~ Page 30 ~ to allow widening of the existinq roadway to 44 feet, ~ -curb to curb, with a left-turn island at University Road and with sidewalks on the north side for pedestrian use ~ and safety; and (4) a future traffic signal at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and University Road. ~ Road constrvction improvements will be the responsibility of Spokane 2`ransit Authority. Enqineerinq of off-site road improvements will be provided by the Spokane County ~ Engineers Department. ~ e. Will the project use (or occur in t}ie iam►ediate vicinity o€) ~ water, rail, or air transportation? Zf so, generally describe. No ~ f. How many vehicular trips per day would be qenerated by the completed p=oject? If known, indicate when peak would occur. ~ The Transit Center is planned to accommodate up to 10 buses. An increase in scheduling of buses to use the new Transit Center will be dictate3 by future need as the ~ Valley population grows and ridership increases. No buses will be routed west on Fourth Avenue. All buses will leave the site and travel east on Fourth Avenue, at ~ University Road two buses will qo south, and one will qo east on Fourth and the remafninq three will qo north on University Road to Sgraque avenue. Approximately 258 total weekday trips will be generated by buses if the ~ East Sprague route is added. Without the East Sprague route, 209 trips will be generated daily. The following table shaws the number of bus trips based on the route ~ schedules currently in effect, and includes the addition of the East Sprague route. ~ AVERAGE DAILY BUS TRIPS Bus Route Weekday Saturday Sunday Holiday ~ U-City 36 24 0 0 Valley/Millwood 26 0 0 0 Valley/32nd 28 24 0 0 Valley/Trent 28 24 0 0 Valley/24th 28 24 0 0 Narth/Valley 63 28 0 0 East Sprague 49 35 22 18 TOTAL 258 159 22 18 Note: A bus departing the site counts as one trip and a bus arrivinq at the site counts as one trip. ~ , f Environmental Ghecklist Valley Transit Center Paqe 31 As ridership increases to the point of requirinq addi- tional service, more buses will be operating at the transit site. The number of trips per weekday could potentially increase by approximately 150 trips with as many as 10 bus routes. In addition to bus trips, automobile trxps will be generated by use of the park-and-ride lot on-site, and by drivers dropping off and pickinq up passengers. The new transit center will have a much larger parking area than the existing tem- porary center offers. There are about 40 to 60 cars parked at the present lot on an average ogerating day. The estimated vehicular trips qenerated by the existing transit site is between lOp and 120 trips per day. In the future when more transit xoutes are added, the number of automobile trips could easily increase up to agpraxi- mately 200-230 trips per day. q. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation imgacts, if any : • Additional traffic impacts generated by buses and auto- mobiles will be offset by the proposed road improvements on both Faurth Avenue and University Road and the addi- tion of a traffic signal at the intersection. The level of service of both roads will not be reduced as a result of the proposed project. Fourth Avenue will still affer a level of service of A and University Road's level of service will be improved to C or better. ~ The separation of bus and automobile access Points will reduce the potential of traffic conflicts and enhance operation of the transit center. ~ Tbe increased use o f transit w111 reduce autonwba.le traffic in the Valley and Spokane metropolitan area. ~ l~E Co tAJS tzv G ~ .~.1 v 20 j4.D v S/ xr-,~ T~ Y 70, -n F6:6-T noA 4 Cse 4_)S7_ j L7~ o n~ AF l. o i.q-c..L~ / Cv 2_l3 -C o r= ST"~-~/~~-Q.~ J E4./~ 2~a •~~ES ~ % %~-~--~s- T~ C~~ ~./T~~ . r o r- G✓A- Y cPiE:J) I c-,o9- i~ ~a 4te.clG ' l,UJ , v ~s • c--~✓.-t-~~► Uov itJ ELstry ~.o a►- o. 2. ~.DO~Tr~.✓.4L 4e ►.c/ ,C~ La-•-6 ~~'E~VvE 7-0 r= ' 1: R..E ~ ~.-,n it-o v E►~-, C S a 4t A A4vE-av u E 4S o u i UA/ A--S S~ow~J aN ii~-~-F .4PP"05~1~ ~ ! , ; - • 2 5 a 86 t ~3 ~ Y l! ~ ~ ~pp j~jIN 4fi r p+ ~t~lti I'~1 A R I 198/ ! u:!N ( y ~UM~~INI(i ~''rt~~ ~ EXPANDED ENVZRaNM£NTAL CHECICI,ZST 4 SPOKANE TRANSIT RUTHORITY APR 13 1987 VALI.EY TRANSIT CENTER SPOKA(E CUUNTY r 'tANNIfVG DEPARTIYENT • 1 ' Prepared for Spokane County Planning Department in Accordance with Sgokane Environmental Ordinance Section 11.10.230(1) Prepared by Adams & Clark, =nc.

The Expanded Environmental Checklist was pre- viously submitted on March 19. 1987 to the Spokane County Planning Department as part of the rezone application ZE-52-86. As lead agency the Planning Department requested an environmental checklist to comply with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). • This supplemental information reflects a change in the area requested for rezone. The proposed rezone area is reduced to include only those areas on site now zoned MFS and AS and not the Cortmercial zone. The total area proposed for rezone to UR-22 is revised to include approxi- mately 4.5 acres. The following replaces and/or adds to the Expanded Environmental Check- list: 1. On page 1: 4. Date Checklist Prepared: February 23. 1987. Addendum April 10. 1987. 2. On page 2: 7b. Do you own or have options on land nearby or adja- cent to this proposal? If yes, explain. Spokane Transit Authority does not own or have options on land nearby, nor do the property owners for the parcels proposed to be rezoned. 3. On page 21 ll. Give brief, complete descrlption of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the proJect and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. The proposed actlon is to rezone 4.5 acres of the approximately 6 acre slte to UR-22. The site is proposed for development of a Valley Transit CVnter, which will include: a transit shelter f or up to 10 buses= a park-and-ride areas and a kiss-and-ride loading zone. The transit center is intended to serve as a destination bus stop and transfer facility in the Valley. 4.

On page 1: 8e. What Is the current zoning classification of the site? Under the current zoning ordinance. there are three zones on-site: Multi-Fam11y Suburban. Agricultural Suburban, and Comnercial. The commercial zone allows a transit center outright. but both the MFS and AS zones would require a conditlonal use permit. The MFS ioning on-site will automatically transition to a UR-22 zone in 1991 under the County's new zoning code. The new zoning code Is intended to implement the County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan which identifies the site for "Urban" development. The MFS and AS zoned parcels on site are proposed for a rezone to UR-22 under the County's new zoning code. A transit center is allowed in the UR- 22 zone as a public and semi-public use. The proposal is consis- tent with the goals and obJectives of the "Urban Category" as defined in the County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Although no residential development Is proposed by Spokane Transit Authority, they are requesting the UR-22 zone to develop alternate land uses in the event the Transit Center is not built and for residual land value in the event the Translt Center use Is discontinued. . . , ~ ' ~AD.= AMEZ.Dom `l-16•87 . ~ 4S-yg7 {tpKAJR ptVIR01flaMfAL ORDINANCZ (VAC 117-11-960) fectlon 1I.I0.230(I) Envf roneental C'Aeckltst Ffl• No. Z~ ~ ~ a ~ hrpose ot Cl►ocRlfstt TAe State [avlroasental Mllcy Act (EEYA) cAapter 43 71C RCV. reQufreo •l) toveresental •gencfe• to cons7der the envfrorsental fopatto of a proposa] sefo►e M kfot Eecfslon@.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH a. Are there any environmental health hazards, includinq exposure to toxic chemicals, risk of fire and explosion, spfll, or hazardoue waste, that could occur as a result of this pro- posal? If so, describe. No environmental health hazards will result from the proposed project. All applicable safety measures will be followed according to construction specifications during construction of this project. `(1) Describe special emerqency Bervices that might be •required. No special emergency services will be requfred by the ( Valley Transit Center. The Spokane Valley Fire District is located just a few blocks away on Sprague Avenue. (2) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health hazards, if any: The site wfll be hfghly visible from adjacent roads. Security lightinq will be installed throughout the site to illuminate the transit shelter and waitinq areas. Public telephones wfll be available on-site. Benches in the waitinq area will be of durable construction to reduce maintenance and discourage vandalism. Fixtures on-site will be permanent and primarily indestructible. Security will be maintained by Spokane Transit Authority and local law enforcement officers. The site plan focuses to the greatest extent possible to provide a logical and safe separation of pedestrian, automobile, and bus traffic. Adequate provisions have been included for safe and secure ogerations. All applicable local building codes and the Unifora► Fire Code will be adhered to fn the conatruction of facilities on-site. Access to the site will form a continuous loop connectinq to public streetB at several access pointB. Fmergency vehicle access, fire hydrants, and adequate . water pressure will be provided for all dreas of the eite. Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 15 b. Noise: (1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your pro]ect (for example: traffic, equipment, operation, other) ? Major urban noise generators that affect the immediate site area include automobile traffic, bus traffic, aircraft overflights, commercial operations, and resi- dential mechanical equipment (lawn mawers, snow blowers, chainsaws, air conditfoners, etc.). At the proposed site, automobile and bu s traffic represent the major noise source. ~ A noise survey of ambient conditions in the site vicinity was conducted on February 12, 1987, during clear and calm weather conditions. Measurements were recorded on and near the site in the morning and late afternoon in order to establish the actual noise conditions.. A Uni-Sync sound level meter model SLM-2 cali.brated on an A-weighted noise level was used in the noise survey. The following table reflects existing noise levels on and near the proposed project site. EXISTING NOISE LEVELS PROPOSED TRANSIT CENTER SITE (dBA) Location Ambient Traffic Bus ~ Universfty & Third Ave. 63-65 66-74 69-76 ` Transit Site 60-63 64-68 64-68 University & Fourth Ave. 60-65 66-75 70-73 Note: Noise measurements were taken at a location 50 feet from the above intersections. ~ The highest noise levels were associated with bus trafffc on Thfrd Averiue ana on University Road. In order to ~ obtain the Binqle event equivalent level for a bus , pass-by, at 50 feet, actual measurements of the transit ~ operatioffs were recorded. The results show an average single event equivalent level of 76 dBA. Thie peak ~ reading occurred when buses accelerated from the stop at ' Third Avenue to turn onto University Road. Buses slawinq down to stop generated peak noise levele of 72 dBA, while Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 16 idling buses generated noise levels ranging from 64-66 dBA. By comparison, an aircraft ovezflight recorded while taking measurements on-site registered 78-84 dBA on the noise meter. (2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project%on a short-term or a long-tentt basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate what hours noise would come from the site. The actual noise currently generated by the existing transit center would not increasef however, the proximity to noise receptors would change with the development of a 00 new transit center. The new transit center would shift the access for buses to Fourth Avenue. Autoznobile access would be available from University Road and Fourth ' Avenue. All on-site activity would be shifted several hundred feet south of the present location. As such, the ambient noise levels currently experienced near Fourth Avenue would be in the same range they are now, and traffic noise levels would intezmittently increase by about 3 dBA due to increased bus traffic. Noise sensitive land uses in the innediate site area include adjacent single-family and multi-family resi- dences east, west, and south of the site, and a retire- ment home south of the sfte. The number of passby•s past a particular location can be I determined from the bus scheduling. For example there , are currently Bix buses routed throuqh the transit center. If the same number of buses as currently scheduled entered and exited the site at Fourth Avenue as proposed with the new transit center, the number of passby's would be 18 in any qiven hour except nighttime. One of the buses routed through the transit center provides service past 8:15 p.m.; the Northside-Valley Crosstown provides service until 10:45 p.m. Noise levels from the proposed transit facility are anticipated to be 76 Leq(1) for the peak hour of bus activity. This is an average noise range to be expected from most truck and bus traffic. The Department of I Housing and Urban Development Noise Assessment Guidelfnes ( show an'hourly truck flow of 18 vehicle paesby's per hour at a distance of 50 feet to be in the "normally accept- A able" range for adjacent residentit+l land uses. Hourly . automobile flow for passby's is "nonnally acceptable" for up to 230 vehicles at e receptor distance of 50 feet, accordfng to the HUD Noise Assessment Guidelines. Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 17 Beyond 50 feet, noise decreases by 6 dBA for every doubling of distance from the noise source. For example, a noise level of 76 dBA at a distance of 50 feet from the noise source would be reduced to approximately 70 dBA at a distance of 100 feet from the noise source. Temporary construction activities on-site will produce the most significant noise levels associated with the proposed project. The degree of construction noise will vary in relation to the particular phase of construction I that is taking place. The most fntrusive noise will be generated by equipment used in grading for site prepara- tion and road improvements. Earthmoving equipment, which includes compactors, backhoes, tractors, scrapers, graders, pavers, and trvcks, generate noises ranqing from 72 to 96 dBA (observed from a distance of 50 feet). Materials handling equipment, including concrete mixers and pumps, generate noises ranging from 75 to 88 , dBA. Pumps, qenerators, and compressors generate noises ranging from 70 to 87 dBA, and jackharruners generate noise in excess of 90 dBA. Noise levels generated by construc- tion activities on-site and on Fourth Avenue and Univer- sity Road will be short-term and confined to normal working daylight hours. (3) Proposed measure to reduce or control noise impacts, if any : It should be noted that indoor noise reduction provided by walls ancl closed windows can be up to 25 to 30 dBA. Given structural absorption factors, the interior noise levels experienced by short-term temporary construction , activity and the long-tezm operation of the bua transit center will be negliqible. The majority of bus activity , will occur durinq daytime hours. Niqhttime bus activity (after 8:25 p.ar.) will be reduced to about 2 buses per hour. On-site noise can be largely mitigated by dfstance, structural ab6orption, landscaping and screening. Buses are usually turned off whfle on-site loading and unloadinq of passengers is takfnq place. The most notf ceable noise emfssion from the buses occurs during accelerat[on from a stop. Routing the buses down Fourth Avenue will contribute to the potential noise impact felt by the retirement home and single family homes located south of Fourth Avenue. Existing noise levels are already comparable to those which will be experienced by Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 18 routing buses down Fourth Avenue, primarily due to the traffic on University Road. The proposed project is anticipated to increase noise levels intermittently by no more than 3 dBA. Some landscaping alonq the perimeter of the retirement home property and the single-family home lots directly across Fourth Avenue from the site may help to mitigate the noise impacts. Noise levels resulting from construction, demolition, and the delivery of materials will not violate any federal, state, or local regulations. The noise standards included in UMTA C 5620.1 shall be fncorporated into the ~ construction documents to minimize noise, due to ~ construction activities. Construction activities will be . limited to normal workinq daylight hours. Noise muffling devices will be used on large, noisy equipment. Unnecessary idlinq of equipment will be managed on-site to keep noise levels down durinq construction. ~ ~ ► . Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 19 8. LAND AND SHORELINES USE a. What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties? The site proposed for the new Valley Transit Center consists of several parcels which together include approximately 6 acres of land. This property is located adjacent to University Road and 4th Avenue, as shown on the site map. There are five single-family homes, a conunercial nursery and greenhouses, and the existing unimproved temporary transit center located on-site. Spokane County owns an abandoned railroad right-of-way ' a north of the site. This right-of-way has been preserved for future development of a transportation corridor. , Commercial development is located primarily in a strip ; along Sprague Avenue north of the site. Other scattered commercial uses are located along University Road. ~ University City Shopping Center is located directly north ~ of the railroad right-of-way. A laundromat is located directly east of the site. A nursing home fs located ' directly south of the site at 4th Avenue and Universfty Road. 6ingle-family residences are located south of the site, and multi-family and sinqle-family residential uses are located east and further west of the site. b. Nas the site been used for agriculture? If so, describe. No, a portion of the site is used for a nursery yard and greenhouses for the Krause Nursery bueiness currently ` located on-site. ~ c. Describe any structures on the site. ; There are five single-family homes located on-site. One home is used as an office for the nursery business, also located on-site. The site is also used as a temporary transit center by STA. The homes on-site are typically less than 1,100 square ~ feet, with one and two bedrooms. All five homes were built in the late 1930's throuqh mid-1940's, and most are well maintained and owner occupied. The values of these , homes on the real estate market is qenerally in the middle t9 low ranqe. Soane of the homes may be moved, and the qreerihouses and a few homes will likely be demolished on-site. Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 20 d. Will any structures be demolished: If so, which? Acquisition of land for the proposed Transit Center is required and will result in relocation and/or demolition of five residences and one nursery business. One of the five residences is currently used for an office for the nursery business. A total population of nine residents would be relocated as a result of acquiring the parcels needed throuqh purchase agreements. Owners of all parcels have been contacted and aze in negotiation to sell their property to Spokane Transit Authority. Seven ~ arcels and p portions of two parcels will be purchased for ~ a total of 6 acres to be included as the future Valley ~ Transit Center site. e. What is the curYent zoning classificatfon of the site? Under the current zoning ordinance, there are three zones on-s' e: Multi-Family Suburban, Agricultural Suburban, nd onunercial. The commercial zone allows a transit en er outright, but the other two zones would require a n itional use permft. The MFS zoninq on-site will a omatically transition to a UR-22 zone in 1991 under A~ t County's new zoninq code. The entire site is pro- ed for a rezone to Urban Resfdential 22 (UR-22). A ~sit center is allowed in the UR-22 zone as a public ` nd semi-public use. Althouqh no resi8ential c3evelopment s roposed by Spokane Transit Authority, they are ~ requ sting the UR-22 zone to develop alternate land uses , in t event the Transit Center is not built and for i residu 1 land value in the event the Traneit Center use is disc ntinued at some time in the future. ~ f. What is the current compreheneive plan designation of the site? ~ The County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the proposed Valley Transit Center site includes future "Urban" land use. The property to the north is designated for "Commer- cial" land use in character with the existing commercial strip along Sprague Avenue. The highe6t and best use of property with the "Urban" land use deBiqnation located near cammercial land uses would be for multi-family apartmertts.

The Spokane area housing market is considered a buyers' market at the present time due to the larqe number of ' available homes for sale and the attractive mortgage I rates. Spokane Transit Authorfty will aid in relocation assis- ' tance in accordance with Department of Transportation quidelines under the Uniform Act and applicable Urban Mass Transportation Administration quidelines. . l. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existinq and projected land uses and plans, if any: The site size wfll allow ample area for landscaping and bufferinq of the transit facilities. Landscaping wfll exceed the minimum requirements of the new zoning code. Much more than 10 percent of the site will be landscaped. Along 4th Avenue landscaping will be 60 feet wide, and alonq University Road 40 feet wide, as shown on the site plen. • Setbacks-applicable to the UR-22 zone include front yards setback 55 feet from the centerline of the roadway right-of-way or 25 feet from the property line. The flanking street setback would be the same as a front yard setback. Setbacks for side yarde are a minimum of 5 Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 22 feet, and rear yards are a minimum of 15 feet. The size and shape of this site present no problems in regard to compliance with these setback requirements. The proposed project is consistent with the "Urban" land use category and will be consistent with the proposed UR-22 zone criteria. The Urban land use designation for the site and immediate area will result in a future transformation to include higher density residential development. Commercial land uses will continue to develop within the "Commercial" designated area north of ~ the site. The Transit Center will be compatible with ~ established and future development in the immediate area. I Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 23 9. HOUSING a. Appzoximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicate whether high, middle, or low-income housing. None b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated?

What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas; what is the principal exterior building material(s) proposed? The Transit Center shelter will be no higher in scale than a typical one-story house. It will consist of a concrete pad, support units, and a roof. The primary building materials for the transit shelter I will be masonry and steel to provide clean, safe, and low , maintenance facilities. Directional and informational signs will be uniform in character, easily identifiable, yet unobtrusive. Lighting will be of a nonglare variety and placed foz directional light on-site to reduce the potential of off-site glare. Aesthetic improvement introduced by a new Transit Center on-site will bring a i positive continuity to the site. The site plan for the Valley Transit Center is desiqned to accommodate up to 10 buses and 236 autanobiles. Bus access will be from Fourth Avenue and automobiles will be able to access the site from both Fourth Avenue and University Road. The transit island will include parking ' for six 40-foot buses, four 60-foot buses, and two or ~ three etand-by buses. Passenger waiting and seating areas, public telephones, permanent trash containers, transit schednle fnformation, and remote ticket and change machines are included. The transit shelter will ~ feature an enclosed area for restrooms, a maintenance room, and a bus pass sales room. The bus apron will be concrete for bus drive and turn-around area, all other drive and parking surfaces will be paved asphalt. b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed? None c. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any: Moveable screene will be used for wind pzotection and aesthetiC appearance on-site. Ample landscapinq areae are incorporated into the site plan to add greenery and = ecreening for some areas on-Bite. The design and sub- , sequent construction of the Transit Center will strive to maintain consistency and continuity throughout the site to the end result of achieving an aesthetically pleasing and visible activity center. Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 25 11. LIGHT AND GLARE a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly occur? Exterior lighting used at night to lfght the site will be faced inward to avoid light and glare impacts on ad]acent properties. A nonglare variety of lighting should be used for lighting parking areas and the transit shelter island. At night headlights from buses and cars will emit light onto properties directly south of the access points on Fourth Avenue. The single-family home located directly across from the bus access on Fourth is not used as a permanent resiclence. This house fs used as a school for traininq nurses aideB and is not occupied at night. i The retirement home is situated so the main windows are facinq east. There are a few windows on the north side which will likely receive some light as they do now when vehicles currently turn right onto Fourth from Univer- sity. b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views? Light sources on-site and generated by bus and automobile traffic will not present safety hazards or interfere with existing vfews. ~ c. What existing off-site sources of light or glare may affect . your proposal? None ~ d. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and qlare impacts, if any: ~ In addition to nonqlare directional liqhtfng, landscapinq j on-site will aid in reducing headlight and exterior liqhting emissions off-site. Ample application of on- ~ site landscapfnq on the property north of Fourth Avenue ~ can also be helpful to reduce light impacts fzom vehicles utilizinq the site. A large fir tree located in front of the single-family home directly south of the bus access ~ will largely mitfgate any potential headlight impacts ' eince A-shfeldB most of the front of the house. 3 .

Identify public streets and highways serving the site, and describe proposed access to the existinq street system. Show on site plans, if any. University Road, Third Avenue, and Fourth Avenue provide the primary access to the proposed sfte. University Road ~ is a well traveled north-south arterial providing access to Sprague Avenue to the north, a major east-west arterial in the area. Third Avenue west of University Road is used to access the temporary transit center, but it is only paved a few hundred feet before it turns into a dfrt roadway. Fourth Avenue is a paved two-lane east-west collector street. Stop siqns are located on ; east-west streets at intersections in the areas, and a ' traffic signal light is located at the intersection of University Road and Sprague Avenue Traffic counts taken recently by the Spokane County Engineers Degartment on Fourth Avenue east of the Univer- sity Road intersection are 2600 average daily trips (a.d.t.'B), and west of the intersection there are 1660 a.d.t.'s. The level of service on Fourth Avenue is rated A. The capacity of Fourth Avenue is 9000 a.d.t.'s. With the ptoposed road improvements on the segment of Fourth Avenue abutting the site, the capacity will be 14,000 a.d.t.'s at the intersection. ~ University Road north of Fourth Avenue has 11,500 ; a.d.t.'s and is operatinq at about a C-D level of service. The existinq capacity of University Road is ~ about 15,000 a.8.t.'s and with future improvements, it ~ will be able to provide a cdpacity of 26,000 a.8.t.'s and improved level of service to C or better. Traffic engineerfnq studies for Univeraity Road have indicated a need for capacity improvements south of Second Avenue. Potential improvements include wideninq within the exfstinq corri8or and an alternative of ' developing a one-way couplet system utilizing University ' and Oberlin roads. The fundinq availability is uncertain at the pregent time. The County Engineer's Department is t recommendinq three lanes from Fourth Avenue down to ~ Sixteenth Avenue to accommodate traffic for at least the next fifteen years. After fifteen yeare, there may be a ~ need for developing a one-way couplet 6ystem. . Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 29 b. Is site currently served by public transit? If not, what is the approximate distance to the nearest transit stop? There are currently six buses using the temporary transit center site. After completion of the new Valley Transit Center, the East Sprague bus that stops in front of U-City will likely start using the center. c. Haw many parking spaces would the completed project have? How many would the project eliminate? ~ No parking will be eliminated on-site. New parking areas ~ will be developed on-site. The existing gravel lot will 00 be abandoned, as shown on the site plan. The primary bus access is planned at Fourth Avenue with other access available for autvmobiles on University Road and Fourth ~ Avenue. To the greatest extent possible the site plan attempts to separate bus, vehicle, and pedestrian traffic. Parking on-site will accommodate up to approxi- mately 236 vehicles. Additional area is provided for parking motorcycles and bicycles. A kiss-and-ride area where passengers can be dropped off and picked up is also provided. d. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or improve- ments to existing rosds or streets not includinq driveways? Zf so, generally describe (indicate whether public or private). ~ An evaluation of the Valley Transit Center site was ~ completed by the Spokane County Enqineers Department. Initially bus access was planned at University Road, but after the Caunty's review, it was chanqed to Fourth Avenue. The primary concerns of the County in regard to access at University Road include: the increase in left-turninq aavements on University Road and potential traffic conflictsf too short of a weave movement for buses from the access point at University Road to make a lef t turn onto Fourth Avenuef and potential traffic conflicts due to the closeness of the Sprague Avenue and Univer6ity Road intersection. The County has determined the following improvementa will be required: (1) a ten-foot right-of-way dedication for futuze roadway improvemente for University Roadj (2) the County will improve University Road to include a raised ~ concrete island with left-turn bays at the intersections of Fourth Avenue and at Second Avenue (future) at the time Univereity Road i6 wiAenedj (3) additional right- of-way dedicatfon along the north side of Fourth Avenue, V Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 30 to allow widening of the existing roadway to 44 feet, curb to curb, with a left-turn island at University Road and with sidewalks on the north side for pedestrian use and safetyj and (4) a future traffic signal at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and University Road. Road construction improvements will be the responsibility of Spokane Transit Authority. Engineering of off-site road improvements will be provided by the Spokane County Engineers Department. e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail, or air transportation? If so, generally #describe. 0 No f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project? If known, indicate when peak would occur. The Transit Center is planned to accommodate up to 10 buses. An increase in scheduling of buses to use the new Transit Center will be dictated by future need as the Valley population grows and ridership increases. No buses will be routed west on Fourth Avenue. All buses will leave the site and travel east on Fourth Avenue, at ; University Road two buses will go south, and one will go l east on Fourth and the remaining three will go north on University Road to Sprague Avenue. Approximately 258 ~ total weekday trips will be generated by buses if the East Sprague route is 8aaea. Without the East Spraque rvute, 209 trips wfll be generated daily. The follawinq table shows the number of bus trips ba6ed on the route schedules currently in effect, and includes the addition of the East Spraque route.

The number of trips per weekday could potentially increase by approximately 150 trips with as ` many as 10 bus routes. In addition to bus trips, ~ automobile trips will be generated by use of the park-and-ride lot on-site, and by drivers dropping off and pickfng up passengers. The new transit center will have a much larger parkinq area than the existing tem- porary center offers. There are about 44 to 60 cars parked at the present lot on an average operating day. The estimated vehfcular trips generated by the existing transit site is between 100 and 120 trips per day. In the future when more transit routes are added, the number i of sutomobile trfps could easily increase up to approxi- mately 200-230 trips per day. g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any: Additional traffic impacts generated by buses and auto- mobiles will be offset by the proposed road improvements on both Fourth Avenue and University Road and the addi- tian of a traffic signal at the intersection. The level , of service of both roads wfll not be reduced as a result of the proposed project. Fourth Avenue will still offer a level of service of A and Unfversfty Road's level of ~ serviCe will be improved to C or better. ~ The separation of bus and automobile access points will zeduce the potentfal of traffic conflicts and enhance operation of t}ie transit center. ~ The increased use of transit will reduce automobile traffic in the Valley and Spokane metropolitan area. ~ . Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 32 15. PUBLIC SERVICES a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for example: fire protection, golice protection, health care, schools, other)? If so, generelly describe. The Valley Fire District Station is located just a few blocks away on Sprague Avenue. Police protection in the area is provided by County Public Safety officers. The proposal will not increase service calls for fire or ~ police nor will it create a need for additional manpower or facilities above those currently available in the area. ~ b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on ~ public services, if any: Safety and security are emphasized in the proposed site design and the materials selection for •the transit shelter. Durable, vandalism-praof materials will be used for seating, signage, and other facilities built on-site. The site will be adequately lit at night to reduce the potential of vandalism and crime. Open landscapinq Will be planted along the site perimeter I and throuqhout the site. Screening type landscape materials ~ will be used alonq the western boundary. Most of the site will be visually open to diecouraqe potential hidinq areas ( typically sought by vandals and aesailants.

About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Approximately 60 percent of the site will be overcovered with impervious surfaces due to construction of the transit shelter, parking areas, and roadways. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosfon, or other impacts to the earth, if any: Exposed soils will be sprinkled to control dust durinq ~ construction, and any other measures necessary to control wind eroeion will be ac]hered to durinq construction activities. Exposed soils will be landscaped as soon as possi.ble. o . I , Envfronmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 6 2. AIR a. What type of emissions to the air would result fzom the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, industrial, wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? Zf any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. , Construction activities will temporarily introduce ' suspended particulates and carbon monoxide into the air from grading, construction, and vehicular uses. Water ~ spray will be used during construction to control dust. s Etaission control devices will be used on equipment to 06 minimize carbon monoxide emissions. _ , An evaluation of the opacity of the exhaust frvsA a , representative number of transit coaches of the Spokane Transit Authority was undertaken in the fall of 1983 by ASA consultants. Zt was perfozmed to assess if the STA coaches can meet the specf f ications detaf led in the UMTA "Baseline Advanced Transit Coach Design"(BATCD) specifi- cations. In summary, all of the STA coaches evaluated under this pzoject including one removed from operation and scheduled for engine overhaul were able to meet the UMTA BATCD specification. The primary reason noted for ~ passing the evaluation was ciue to the excellent preventa- ~ tive maintenance work being performed by STA. The STA personnel have fdentified maintenance needs on the ! engines before opacity from the exhaust pipe becomes ~ excesBfve. Ninety-six (96) percent of all the coach ' exhaust observations wete 0 percent opacity, 3 percent were 5 percent opacity, and 1 percent were 10 percent opacity. b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions o= odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. No. Doee not apply. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: Other measures to reduce and control air ea►issfons will include the nse of approptiate air pollution control equipmefit npon all buses and construction vehicles, waterinq down exposed soile, cleaning street areas durfng construction. Paved roads and landacapinq will act together to reduce and control potential suspended particulate enissions once conetruction is completed. ~ s ~ Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 7 When contacted about the proposed Transit Center, the Spokane County Air Pollution Control Authority indicated support for this project since it would be a positive step toward implementing their adopted Air Quality Implementation Plans. The proposed project will promote increased use of public transit in the Valley and into the Central Business District, thus reducinq traffic flows in these areas. Roadway and arterial itnprovements of University Road and Fourth Avenue will improve traffic flow characteristics in the immediate site area. In addition, the paving of roadways and parking areas y on-site will help to reduce the level of fugftive dust (TSP) currently generated by existing use-of the unpaved temporary transit center site. Actual carbon monoxide levels will not change from those curzently experienced by Spokane Transit Authority's use ~ of the site. No immediate increases in the number of buses routed to the transit center will occur. The transit center will be built to acconunodate up to 10 buses which will gradually come on-line as the Valley grows and ridership increases. Any increase in ridership requirinq additional transit buses will be offset by a reduction in auto travel, which, in effect, will reduce future total potential carbon monoxide emissions. Continued technological improvemnts are undertaken to ' reduce emissions on new buses to meet stricter EPA standards. ; Upgrading of the STA fleet since 1983 has resulted in the addition of 10 articulated bu ses, which replaced the 1960 , and 1962 vehicles with questionable capacity test results. ► ~ ~ Environmental Checklist Valley Transit Center Page 8 3.
