Report ❑ Pending Legislation AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Historic Preservation Program GOVERNING LEGISLATION: The Growth Management Act (GMA) RCW 36.70A.020 PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: On August 19, 2014, staff presented a brief overview of local historic preservation and special evaluations to City Council. On October 14, 2014, the City of Spokane's Historic Preservation Officer and the Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer provided more information relating to the establishment of a local historic preservation program. On February 3, 2015, staff presented an overview of the process for establishing an in-house historic preservation program, responsibilities as a Certified Local Government (CLG) and options to run the historic preservation program. On April 21, 2015, staff presented an overview of the required standards, special tax valuation agreement, and historic register listing implications. On June 30, 2015, staff presented benefits, drawbacks, and estimated costs to run the historic program. Council concurred to move forward with the establishment of the program. BACKGROUND: To pursue an in-house historic preservation program, the City needs to become a CLG which will allow the City to receive technical assistance, apply for special grant funding, offer special tax valuation to local registered properties, and comment on federal and state historic preservation actions. A historic preservation program has the following benefits: the ability to provide incentives to encourage the rehabilitation of historic buildings, protect local historic landmarks, develop a sense of place and community identity, and foster heritage tourism. The drawbacks of the program include potential restrictions on properties and penalties for disqualified properties, additional staff workload, potential to impact other existing services due to new workload and longer review times. As a CLG, the City will manage the City Historic Register (CHR). Changes to or demolition of CHR properties require approval from the Historic Preservation Commission. CHR properties are eligible to receive federal and state incentives. To become a CLG, the City needs to adopt an ordinance to establish the historic preservation program (Exhibit 2) and Historic Preservation Commission (Exhibit 3). These draft ordinances were developed using the State's model historic preservation ordinance (Exhibit 4). OPTIONS: Discussion only.

DRAFT HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE Page 11 of 11 CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: September 15, 2015 Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ information ® admin. report AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Mansfield Speed Limit GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A Department Director Approval: ❑ new business ❑ public hearing ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Informational memorandum on Mansfield Speed Limit, September 8, 2015 BACKGROUND: The connection of Mansfield Avenue east of Pines Road (State Route 27) is a significant change that will allow a continuous route for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians from Pines Road to Mirabeau Parkway. This will provide the first east -west connection within the area north of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). The Mansfield Avenue connection changes the total number of lanes by adding a two-way center turn lane and bicycle lanes from Cherry Lane east to where it ties in with the existing three -lane with bike lane section in front of the River Rock Apartments. The connection is currently under construction and will be completed in a few weeks. The paperwork is currently being processed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to classify Mansfield Avenue as a collector arterial from Pines Road to Mirabeau Parkway. As such, the connection of a principal arterial (Pines Road) to a collector (Mirabeau Parkway) will occur. Mansfield Avenue primarily serves businesses/commercial development and multi -family residential developments. Commercial properties and businesses exist at the corner of Pines/Mansfield. To the east of these existing businesses are multi -family residential units, with more units planned to come on-line in the next 3 years. Finally, east of the multi -family residences are more commercial properties and businesses immediately west of Mirabeau Parkway. The existing speed limit on Mansfield Avenue between Pines Road and Houk Road is 25 miles per hour (mph) due to the pre -construction configuration in which Mansfield Avenue turned 90 - degrees, or `elbowed' into Houk Road, essentially terminating Mansfield Avenue at Houk Road. The existing speed limit on Mansfield Avenue between the River Rock Apartments and Mirabeau Parkway is 25 mph due to Mansfield terminating at the River Rock Apartments' westernmost property line. The existing speed limit on Mansfield Avenue west of Pines Road is 35 mph, as is Pines Road and Mirabeau Parkway within the vicinity of the project. The existing prevailing speeds on Mansfield Avenue west of Discovery Place were measured on September 8, 2015 and September 9, 2015. The average traveling speed in both directions was measured at 33 mph while the 85th percentile traveling speed was measured at 38 mph. Section 2B-13 of the FHWA Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) states that: "When a speed limit within a speed zone is posted, it should be within 5 mph of the 85th percentile speed of free-flowing traffic." Mansfield Avenue is mostly straight with few horizontal or vertical curves. This connection project will include the installation of median islands near Houk Road. There are commercial or multi -family residential access points on Mansfield Avenue between Pines Road and Mirabeau Parkway. To provide a comparison of facilities, Mirabeau Parkway between Pines Road and Pinecroft Way is a three -lane collector roadway with a posted speed limit of 35 mph and has a similar number of access points serving commercial development. Collector roadways commonly have a posted speed limit between 30 mph and 40 mph as they provide vital connections between local roadways or other collectors to arterials. As such, Mansfield Avenue and this connection project have been designed for a posted speed limit of 35 mph. Due to the significant changes that are underway with the Mansfield Avenue connection project, a review of the posted speed limit is warranted. Section 2B-13 of the MUTCD further states that: "States and local agencies should conduct engineering studies to reevaluate non - statutory speed limits on segments of their roadways that have undergone significant changes since the last review, such as the addition or elimination of parking or driveways, changes in the number of travel lanes, changes in the configuration of bicycle lanes, changes in traffic control signal coordination, or significant changes in traffic volumes." The Mansfield Avenue connection project changes the number of travel lanes, the configuration of bicycle lanes, and will have a significant impact on the traffic volumes along Mansfield Avenue from the current conditions. Based on the prevailing travel speeds and the changes to Mansfield Avenue, Public Works is recommending the existing speed limit on Mansfield Avenue be increased to 35 mph between Pines Road and Mirabeau Parkway.

In addition to the contracted services, the City received approval from the Department of Ecology (DOE) for its new Solid Waste Management Plan and Moderate Risk Waste Plan. These plans identify the requirements and administration for the City's new Solid Waste Program. The City's responsibility for administering this program is primarily for education and public outreach efforts supporting solid waste alternatives. To assist the City with funding this program administration, staff was successful in obtaining a Coordinated Prevention Grant (CPG) from DOE in the amount of approximately $107,000 for two years. The PowerPoint presentation will highlight this new program.

BACKGROUND: Developing options for a permanent City Hall building has been a Council budget goal for the past several years. Earlier this year, the City closed on 3.38 acres of property at the former University City Mall site. At the February 17, 2015 Council workshop, staff discussed the selection process for architectural firms to design the building. At the March 17, 2015 Council meeting staff updated the Council on the selected design firm and discussed the draft professional services agreement for the project. At the March 24, 2015 meeting, the Council authorized the City Manager to contract with Architects West to design the site and building. The architect team conducted a public meeting on May 6, 2015 and met with councilmembers and staff to finalize the program and discuss design parameters for the building. The project team is now ready to update the Council on the design process and to display two potential concepts. Three dimensional computer models of the concepts will be displayed. The architects and staff will be available to answer questions on the progress made to date and to gather input from the Council. OPTIONS: RECOMMENDED MOTION: BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The City Hall construction project is anticipated to cost $14.4 million including land acquisition, design services, and construction.
