Regional Partnering The Regional Partnering Group is still focused on the development and implementation of the SmartGov permit tracking and workflow system. While Spokane County and the City will have separate systems, staff is evaluating forms and processes to determine if forms can have a uniform appearance and if some processes, at least at the customer interface, can be more similar. In particular application forms for proposed use in Spokane, Spokane County and Spokane Valley are being discussed. The draft forms are simpler and less intimidating and intended for use with a new process for taking in applications.The three jurisdictions are also discussing details for language related to application expiration. Permit expiration is also being discussed but with recent code amendments already made in Spokane and Spokane County it is unlikely the permit expiration language will be re-addressed in the short term in those jurisdictions. Code Text Amendments Staff continued processing amendments to the Uniform Development Code with progress made on signage, landscaping and boundary line adjustments. Staff also processed a privately initiated amendment to allow recycling facilities in commercial and mixed use zones. Cote Compliance Citizen Action Requests Code Compliance Officers responded to 23 Citizen Action Requests. They are by type, listed below. Please remember that all complaints, even those that have no violation, must be investigated.
