How does a change of use or vacation of the street/alley improve service to the publ04€MMUlNI1YDLtrELOPMENi Access to/from Opportunity Alley is improved due to an additional drive entry to/from Sprague and due to a wider drive entry to/turn Pines. 2. Is the street or alley no longer required for public use or public access? Explain. Public use and access is still required. We propose to re-dedicate an alley ROW further to the south. 3. Would substitution of a new and/or different public right-of-way better serve the public? Explain. Yes, the proposed new alley ROW connects to a wider drive entry at Pines and has access to the entry drive at Sprague. 4. How will use or need for this right-of-way be affected by future conditions? Explain. Use of this right-of-way is required by existing businesses and by the proposed future use (Rite Aid store). 5. Will easements be retained for all underground and overhead utilities?

The email correspondence verifies contact and concurrence. 7. Does the right-of-way include stormwater drainage facilities(Specify)? The existing alley ROW does not include stormwater drainage facilities. Stormwater from the proposed re- aligned alley will flow to on-site bioswales. Revised 2/22/2007 STREET VACATION APPLICATION Written evidence of any and all easements or allowances or reservations,public or private,pertaining to the street or alley proposed for vacation. We have not found evidence of recorded easements for any of the utilities and services located in the alley ROW. It is our understanding that all of the existing utilities and services currently located in the existing alley ROW are granted under franchise agreements with the City of Spokane Valley. Several utility providers furnished as-built diagrams of their systems in the area of the proposed re- development(diagrams are attached). The following narratives outline the likely re-route/reconfiguration that was discussed with each utility provider. Spokane County Sewer(system diagram attached): Part of the sewer main is located in the existing alley ROW. Most of the sewer main is located on private property. The sewer line drains from east to west and dead-ends at Pines. The sewer main can be cut back so that it does not run under the proposed building and without affecting "upstream" customers because there are none. A new manhole would be installed on private property. Service would be maintained to the existing dental building and residences on l't Ave. A portion of the side sewer for the dental building will run across the proposed new alley ROW Modern Electric Water Company: Electric service: Overhead electrical lines feed from the west and dead-end at Pines. Similar to the sewer system,the electrical service can be cut back to serviced the proposed redevelopment without affecting "upstream" customers. As with the sewer service, electrical service will be maintained to the existing dental building. Water service(system diagram attached): There is a 6" diameter water main in the existing alley ROW. This line would be rerouted to follow the proposed new alley ROW. Telephone: Overhead telephone services feed from the west and dead-end at Pines. The telephone service can be cut back to facilitate the proposed redevelopment. Telephone service will be maintained to the existing dental building. Cable: Overhead cable services run through the site and across Pines. The existing service across the site will be rerouted to follow the proposed new alley ROW. Gas(system diagram attached): Underground gas lines run in the existing alley and would need to be re-routed to follow the proposed new alley ROW. Revised 2/22/2007 ' I STREET VACATION APPLICATION Written narrative describing the reasons for the proposed street vacation,the physical limits of the proposed street vacation and the public benefit of the proposed street vacation. We are requesting that the alley be vacated to facilitate the redevelopment of the southwest corner of Pines and Sprague. The redevelopment includes the demolition of existing buildings and relocating a portion of the alley approximately 41'-2" to the south to make room for a Rite Aid pharmacy on this site. The physical limits of the proposed alley vacation are the first 300 feet of the alley immediately west of Pines. A new alley ROW would be dedicated approximately 41'-2" south of the current alley ROW to maintain continuous access through the alley for all of the businesses currently utilizing the alley. The public benefits by allowing the alley vacation include: 1. Improved access to/from the alley through a wider drive entry at Pines Road. 2. Improved access to/from the alley via access to/from Sprague Avenue through the redeveloped site. 3. The improved access to/from the alley from Pines and Sprague provides greater flexibility for the City at the museum property at the west end of the block. 4. Achieving highest and best use of the site through redevelopment resulting in greater tax revenues for the City of Spokane Valley and improved aesthetics at this highly visible intersection. 5. Bringing the site up to current standards for stormwater treatment improves aquifer water quality. Revised 2/22/2007 STREET VACATION APPLICATION FL, Cc t ?0 List of AAttachments1 A SPOKANE VALLEY' 1.

Your proposal for relocation/modification of existing Qwest aerial communications cables in the ally between 1st Ave and Sprague Ave appears feasible. Qwest should be able to maintain services to the remaining buildings on the surrounding properties with limited relocation costs passed on to Gramor Development. Concerning the vacation of the public alley between 1st and Sprague: The Washington State Constitution grants Qwest the right to operate within all public rights-of-way throughout the state of Washington in order to provide communications services to the general public. As such, Qwest does not have any separate easements or franchise agreements pertaining to the aerial cable located in the alley (public right-of-way). The only property I foresee being negatively impacted by the proposed vacation is the'small office building on the NW corner of 1st and Pines. I believe service can be maintained to that structure either by serving it from 1st Ave or by placing a new buried facility in an easement along the south side of your proposed new development. Thanks again for contacting Qwest well in advance of your project. I look forward to working closely with your company or its designated contractors as the project progresses.

My notes show that your call was to gage the feasibility of modifying the existing underground water main, and that you were aware of our application and design process for any such change, would it become necessary.

It appears that this sewer line could be utilized to connect the new proposed building. However, a sewer plan will need to be supplied to Spokane County for approval.

In reviewing this request the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) does not object to this proposal but requests that the following conditions of approval be applied to it: 1. The applicant will need to submit and intersection plan for approval to both WSDOT and the City of Spokane Valley for this alley realignment. 2. The existing alley access will need to be removed and WSDOT standard curb and sidewalk installed. If you have any questions on this matter please do not hesitate to contact me.

These comments are based on the criteria for street vacation listed in Chapter 10.05.320 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code. A. Whether a change of use or vacation of the street or alley will better serve the public; No. The vacation will not better serve the public. B. Whether the street or alley is no longer required for public use or access; No. The alley provides access to several parking lots behind the buildings fronting Sprague Avenue. C. Whether the substitution of a new and different public way would be more useful to the public; No. The proposed realignment will not be more useful to the public. D. Whether conditions may so change in the future as to provide a greater use or need than presently exists; The implementation of the Sprague Appleway Revitalization Plan will place greater reliance on the alley for access. Drafts of this plan emphasize the placement of buildings in close proximity to the sidewalk,therefore necessitating vehicle access from the south side. E. Whether objections to the proposed vacation are made by owners of private property abutting the street or alley or other governmental agencies or members of the general public. Public Works is not aware of any objections at this time. Additional Considerations: An increase in alley traffic may result in Public Works restricting the alley to one- way operation due to the narrow width and restricted sight distance at the west end. 1 Just east of Robie Road,there are buildings on both sides which make the alley too narrow for opposing traffic to pass side-by-side. The distance between the two buildings is 16.5 feet,but utility poles in the alley further restrict the width of the travel way to 12.5'. See photos below. It is difficult to comment on the impact of future traffic volumes without evaluating the proposed development and street. vacation concurrently. , +Tf- 4,. as 1, _ ', i r a ',-4,."*. f. t n 'ases".

In response and on behalf of DAHP, I have reviewed the application and responding to the City of Spokane Valley with the following comments: 1)While DAHP does not have concerns about the proposed alley vacation to significant cultural resources (archaeological and historic buildings), we are concerned that this action could facilitate redevelopment on this block that would impact buildings that are 50 years of old and older in the vicinity. 2) In view of the cluster of older buildings on this block, some of which may have historic significance, we recommend that the City consider the long range implications of the alley vacation to those properties. 3)To address these implications and to aid in assessing what the impacts would be to historic properties,we also recommend that a survey/inventory effort be undertaken in the project vicinity to record and evaluate the historic significance of these buildings. This survey/inventory effort should be conducted by a qualified historic preservation professional with appropriate experience and knowledge in history and architectural history. Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on this action. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me via email or at 360-586-3073. • 4/25/2008 Pace 1 of 2 Karen Kendall From: Neil Kersten Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2008 4:45 PM To: Kathy McClung Cc: Karen Kendall Subject: RE: Requesting comments for(STV-01-07) Street Vacation of alley on SW corner of Sprague Avenue and SR-27 (Pines Rd) Let me know if you have any questions.

If you want us to work with one of your staff just let me know. 1. Whether a change of use or vacation of the street or alley will better serve the public; No. It is a relocation, not a vacation. 2. Whether the street or alley is no longer required for public use or public access; The alley is needed. 3. Whether the substitution of a new and different public way would be more useful to the public; The relocation appears to be equal to the existing. 4. Whether conditions may so change in the future as to provide a greater use or need than presently exists; and Adoption of the Sub-Area Plan may provide a greater use or need than presently exists. 5. Whether objections to the proposed vacation are made by owners of private property(exclusive of petitioners) abutting the street or alley or other governmental agencies or member of the general public. We can answer this one. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks for your help.

Ron Cote WSDOT ER Planning (509)324-6193 4/8/2008 CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for PIann@ng Cnmmocsion Review Meeting Date: May 8, 2008 Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ® public hearing ❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation AGENDA ITEM TITLE: 2008 Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments—Public Hearing PREVIOUS ACTION TAKEN: Planning Commission had a study session on May 1, 2008 BACKGROUND: The Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan includes an annual amendment cycle that runs from November 2nd to November 1st of the following year. Applications received prior to November 1st are considered by the Planning Commission in late spring of the following year, with a decision by City Council in late spring/early summer. All parts of the Comprehensive Plan can be amended during the annual cycle. The Community ivelopment Department received 8 requests for site-specific Comprehensive Plan amendments for 2008. Sites that are approved for a Comprehensive Plan amendment will automatically receive a zoning designation that is consistent with the new land use designation. City staff also initiated a number of Comprehensive Plan text amendments. Amendments are proposed to Chapter 1 — Introduction; Chapter 2 — Land Use; Chapter 3 —Transportation; Chapter 5 — Housing; Chapter 7 — Economic Development; Chapter 8 — Natural Environment and Chapter 9 — Parks, Recreation and the Arts. A majority of these amendments are relatively minor in nature and merely updates or corrects information. More substantive amendments are being recommended to Chapter 2 — Land Use. Appendix 19-A, Schedule of Permitted and Accessory Uses is also recommended to be amended to correct an inconsistency with specific goals and policies of Chapter 2 — Land Use. NOTICE: Notice for the proposed amendments was placed in the Spokane Valley News Herald on April 25, 2008 and each site was posted with a "Notice of Public Hearing" sign, with a description of the proposal. Finally, individual notice of the proposals was mailed to all property owners within 400 feet of each amendment. Notice for the text amendments was provided consistent with applicable provisions of Title 17. SEPA REVIEW: Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA— RCW 43.21 C) environmental checklists were luired for each proposed comprehensive plan amendment. Under SEPA, amendments to the comprehensive plan are considered "non-project actions" which are defined as actions involving 1 of 2 decisions on policies, plans, or programs that contain standards controlling use or modification of the environment. Additional environmental review may be required for the actual development of the subject properties. Staff reviewed the environmental checklists and a threshold determination was made for each comprehensive plan amendment request. Determinations of Non-significance (DNS) were issued for the requested comprehensive plan amendments. The DNS's were published in the city's official newspaper consistent with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and Title 21 (Environmental Controls) of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC). COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSALS: Comprehensive plan amendment proposals are organized into individual reports consisting of application materials, staff reports, comprehensive plan maps, zoning maps, aerial maps, vicinity maps, transportation maps, and comments submitted to date to assist the Commission's review. OPTIONS: Planning Commission may recommend approval as presented; recommend approval of modified proposals, or forward no recommendation to City Council.

COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 17(GENERAL PROVISIONS)OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE Findings: Section 17.80.140(H) of the SVMC provides approval criteria that must be considered when the City amends the Comprehensive Plan. The criteria are listed below along with staff comments. 1. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, welfare, and protection of the environment. Staff Report and Recommendation to the Planning Commission for CPA-07-08 Page 2 of 3 Staff Response: The proposed amendments are minor in nature with a few exceptions. Amendments to Chapter 2, Land Use include text and policy changes that address future annexation areas for the City. These policies are the first step in the process of defining specific urban growth areas for the City to provide sufficient area to accommodate the City's 20 year growth allocation as designated by Spokane County. Future updates of the Comprehensive Plan will include updates to the Capital Facilities Plan that will demonstrate the City's ability to provide urban services to the future annexation areas. 2. The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted plan not affected by the amendment. Staff Response: The proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are not in conflict with Chapter 36.70A RCW(Growth Management Act)and do not result in internal inconsistencies within the plan itself. 3. The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies. Staff Response: The proposed text amendments are not site or property specific. This approval criterion does not apply. 4. The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error. Staff Response: The proposed text amendments will not result in changes to specific properties. 5. The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff Response: The majority of the proposed code amendments either update or correct information contained in the plan. As noted in#1 above substantive policy changes are proposed in Chapter 2—Land Use related to identifying future annexation areas for the City. A change is also proposed to the City's municipal code to correct an inconsistency between adopted comprehensive plan policies and the permitted use matrix contained in Appendix 19-A. Specifically, Policy LUP-9.2 states in part "A variety of housing types including apartments, condominiums, town houses, two-family and single family dwellings on small lots" should be allowed in both the Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) and Mixed Use Center (MUC) zoning districts. Appendix 19-A fails to provide for both two-family or single family dwellings in either CMU or MUC districts. Staff is recommending that Appendix 19-A be amended to address this inconsistency. Conclusion(s): The proposed Comprehensive Plan text amendments and the proposed amendment to Appendix 19-A (Schedule of Permitted and Accessory Uses)are consistent with the approval criteria contained in the SVMC. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Planning Division after review and consideration of the proposed amendments and applicable approval criteria recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of CPA-09-08 through CPA-15-08.

Spokane Valley's growth and development has is beep the interim Comprehensive ' -„_ %: - .•< Plan. While the Plan guides growth and • development in the City, it also provides a — plan for preservation of the natural environment that is such an important component of the community. What is a Comprehensive Plan? The role of the SVCP is to clearly state our community's vision for its future, and to articulate a plan for accomplishing this vision over a 20-year period. The SVCP seeks to answer a number of questions: • What areas are most suitable for development or redevelopment? • What areas should be preserved in their natural state? • Where should growth occur? • How can we manage that growth to realize our vision for the community? • How should we address our current and future transportation needs? • How many parks do we need, of what size, kind and where? • What steps should we take to encourage desirable economic development? • How can we ensure an adequate supply of affordable housing for all income levels? • What utilities and public services will we need? • How will the community pay for all these things? Each of the SVCP chapters addresses these questions, and more, in the areas of transportation, land use, housing, capital facilities, economic development, utilities, and parks and recreation. The answers form the implementation statements, which guide the achievement of those strategies. The implementation strategies within each chapter are used to guide the development of new regulations and guidelines or revise existing regulations. The SVCP also sets a clear framework for where the community will need to spend money on capital facilities, how much, and identifies available funding sources. As a whole, the SVCP offers a flexible framework for Spokane Valley's future, allowing for adaptation to changing conditions over time. Requirements of the Growth Management Act The GMA (RCW 36.70A. 140) was passed by the Washington State Legislature in 1990, with amendments added in 1991 and subsequent years. The legislature passed the GMA in recognition of the rate of growth that was occurring throughout the state. The legislature was responding not only to the rate of growth, but also to the type and location of growth. Adopted April 25. 2006 Page 2 of18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Chapter 1 Introduction Two-thirds of the state's population and household growth in the 1980s took place in unincorporated areas, and produced sprawling subdivisions, commercial strips, and urbanization of land, which only ten years before, was rural. This rapid growth pattern resulted in increased traffic congestion and inadequate public services, and has threatened forestland, agricultural land, and environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands. These impacts have been felt in the Spokane region, just as they have been in other parts of the state. The GMA requires that each jurisdiction produce a comprehensive plan that contains, at a minimum, elements pertaining to land use, transportation, capital facilities, economic development, parks & recreation, housing, and private utilities. These elements must be consistent with one another. • Jurisdictions also are required to adopt policies and regulations protecting resource lands and critical areas, such as agricultural land, wetlands, and hillsides. Each jurisdiction must coordinate its plan with the plans of surrounding jurisdictions. The GMA also requires that each city designate an urban growth boundary area (UGA). The UGA defines the area within which the city anticipates it could provide the full range of urban services at some time in the future. It also represents the area within which the city will consider annexations and the boundary beyond which it will not annex during this period. Perhaps what most distinguishes the GMA from previous planning statutes is the requirement that public services be available or funded at some designated level of service before development may occur. If a jurisdiction cannot provide services to an area, then it may not permit development in that area. This requirement is often referred to as"concurrency." Development of countywide planning policies (CWPPs) is required by the GMA to ensure a coordinated and regional approach in the development of comprehensive plans. CWPPs provide an overall framework of policies within which each local government jurisdiction will develop or update its comprehensive plan. The policies also guide how jurisdictions should interact with one another regarding specific issues. Developing the CWPPs was coordinated by the Steering Committee of Elected Officials which consists of officials from Spokane County and its eleven cities and towns (prior to incorporation of the cities of Liberty Lake in 2001 and Spokane Valley in 2003), along with representatives from water, school and fire districts, utility companies and the public. The Steering Committee had the difficult task of balancing often-conflicting ideas with developing policies which provide the greatest benefit for Spokane Valley and its citizens. The CWPPs focused on the following areas: 1. Implementation of Urban Growth Areas (UGAs). 2. Promotion of contiguous and orderly development of urban services. 3. Siting of countywide or statewide public capital facilities. 4. Parks and open space. 5. Countywide transportation facilities and strategies. 6. Considering the need for affordable housing for all economic segments. 7. Joint County and City planning within UGAs. 8. Countywide economic development and employment. 9. Producing an analysis of the fiscal impact of GMA. The SVCP is required to have internal consistency among the plan's various elements. The Plan must also be coordinated and consistent with the plans of adjacent jurisdictions. The GMA directs local governments to attempt to resolve conflicts through consultation and negotiation. Perhaps the most far reaching of the GMA impacts is the legal status it gives comprehensive plans. Prior to GMA, plans have largely been advisory and had less legal standing than regulations. Once the Plan is adopted, all new codes and programs subsequently adopted and implemented must be consistent with it. How Was the Plan Developed? Adopted April 25, 2006 Paqe 3 of18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Chapter 1 Introduction The first permanent settler in the Spokane Valley was Antoine Plante, a retired French-Canadian trapper. Plante built a cabin near the Spokane River in 1849, from which he operated a small Hudson's Bay Company trading post. Other settlers began arriving in this area between 1865 and 1882. "Firsts" to occur in Spokane Valley include the first settler in 1849, first business and ferry in 1850, the first store and bridge in 1862, the first house in 1866 and the first post office in 1867. All of these "firsts" occurred before the arrival in 1873 of James Glover who was considered the"Father of Spokane." The territorial legislature created Spokane County in 1858. The county included all of Washington east of the Cascade Mountains, as well as northern Idaho and western Montana: about 75,000 square miles in total. In 1867, the county name was changed to Stevens, Washington Territory. The new settlers to the area wanted to build farms and homes. Steven Liberty brought his family to live by the lake that is now named after him. William Newman settled in 1865 near the lake now called Newman Lake. William Spangle ran a post office and stage station in the town of Spangle and Joseph Moran settled south of Spokane Valley and farmed on what is now called Moran Prairie. In 1879, Spokane County was organized out of part of Stevens County, with a temporary county seat at Spokane Falls. An election for county seat was held in November 1880. Cheney won by only a few votes. The settlers in Spokane Falls protested and asked for a recount, refusing to give the county records to Cheney. About five months after the county seat election, men from Cheney stole the county records from the courthouse through a door left unlocked by the county auditor. Cheney kept the county seat until the election of 1886, when it was moved back to Spokane. In 1883, the Northern Pacific Railroad opened up the west with the transcontinental railroad. The new railroad coupled with the discovery of silver in north Idaho created an influx of people to the Spokane Valley area. Within a few years, the Spokane area was connected to the rest of the country by five transcontinental railroads. The next major innovation to Spokane Valley was the introduction of irrigation to the area. Within 20 years, 30,000 acres of dry land had been converted into fertile farmland. The first irrigation systems were constructed between 1899 and 1905. The Valley population grew from 1,000 residents at the turn of the century to nearly 10,000 by 1922. During this time, apple growing became the predominant agricultural crop with nearly two million apple trees being planted by 1912. As the population of the Valley increased, small communities with churches, schools, businesses, community clubs and other organizations thrived. By the early Twentieth Century, Spokane County was the rapidly growing center of the Inland Northwest, an area that encompassed the mining district of northern Idaho and southern British Columbia as well as the rich timber and farmlands of eastern Washington. By 1903, the region was served by several transcontinental rail lines and was the hub of a growing system of electric interurban lines managed by the Spokane and Inland Empire Railroad System Company. Prior to World War II, the federal government made a decision to build an aluminum plant in Spokane Valley along the Spokane River. Additionally, the federal government identified a need for warehouse space and facilities to support coastal activities during the war. In 1942, Spokane Valley was chosen as a site for one of these Inland Supply Depots. The Naval Storage Yards are now the Valley Industrial Park, which has 5,000,000 square feet of gross leaseable floor area. "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." Alan Kay Rapid growth continued in Spokane Valley throughout the 1950's, 60's, and 70's. Along with this continued growth came concerns regarding the impact of the development on the Valley environment. Citizens' concerns were related to impacts to lakes in the area as well as the aquifer underlying a majority of the Spokane Valley. No protections were put into place to address these issues. Sanitary sewers were not required for new construction. Steady residential and commercial growth continued in the Spokane Valley throughout the 1980's and 90's. Hewlett Packard was the first of several high tech companies that opened operations in the Industrial Park and Liberty Lake areas. The State Board of Health threatened to enact a moratorium on new development in 1983, unless sewering of the Valley began. In response, Spokane County Adopted April 25, 2006 Page 5 ofl.8 Chapter 2 - Land Use City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan The GMA requires that Comprehensive Plan land use elements include the following: • Designate the proposed general distribution, location and extent of the uses of land for housing, commerce, industry, recreation, open spaces, public utilities, public facilities, and other appropriate land uses; • Population densities, building intensities, and estimates of future population growth; • Provide for protection of the quality and quantity of ground water use for public water supplies; • Review drainage, flooding, and stormwater runoff in the area and nearby jurisdictions and provide guidance for corrective actions to mitigate or cleanse those discharges that pollute water of the state. 2.1.2 County Wide Planning Policies The County Wide Planning Policies (CWPPs) required by GMA2 provide a regional framework to achieve the goals of the GMA. The CWPPs are a refinement of policy direction contained in the GMA and are a result of a collaborative process between Spokane County and the cities and towns within the County. The CWPPs provide a policy framework for both the county and its respective cities. Adherence to these policies ensures that plans within the county are consistent with one another. These policies address such issues as the designation of urban growth areas, land use, affordable housing, provision of urban services for future development, transportation, and contiguous and orderly development. The following are specific CWPPs that relate to the Land Use Element3: Policy Topic 1 -Urban Growth Areas Policies 1. Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) are areas within which urban growth shall be encouraged and outside of which growth can occur only if it is not urban in nature. Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) shall include areas and densities sufficient to permit the urban growth that is projected to occur in the county for the succeeding 20-year period4. "Urban growth" refers to growth that makes intensive use of land for the location of buildings, structures and impermeable surfaces to such a degree as to be incompatible with the primary use of such land for the production of food, other agricultural products or fiber, or the extraction of mineral resources5. Urban growth should be located first in areas already characterized by urban growth that have existing public facility and service capacities to serve such development, and second in areas already characterized by urban growth that will be served by a combination of both existing public facilities and services, and any additional needed public facilities and services that are provided by either public or private sources. Further, it is appropriate that urban government services be provided by cities, and urban government services should not be provided in rural areas6. Rural government services may be provided in rural areas. However, Urban Growth Areas may be established independent of incorporated areas. Within these independent Urban Growth Areas (UGAs), urban governmental services may 2 RCW 36.70A.210 3 Note to reader: The following policies are numbered according to the policy number in the CWPPs, resulting in non-sequential numbering in this document. 4 RCW 36.70A.110 5 RCW 36.70A.030(17) 6 RCW 36.70A.110(3) Adopted April 25, 2006 2 Chapter 2— Land Use City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan be provided by other than cities. Some cities may rely on contracts from Spokane County for provision of urban services. Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) include all lands within existing cities, including cities in rural areas. by ether than cities. 9. Within Urban Growth Areas (UGAs), lands that fall within planned high-capacity transportation corridors should be designated for sufficient intensity of land use to support the economic provision of multimodal transportation. 11. Where applicable, comprehensive plans should contain land use policies which provide protection for the continued viability of Fairchild Air Force Base, Spokane International Airport, Felts Field, Deer Park Airport and other publicly owned airports within Spokane County. 12. Jurisdictions should work together to develop and implement rogionclly consistcnt inc itivo e- _- _ - - - _ _ • - A -- _ _• , --e to protect critical areas and open space within Urban Growth Areas (UGAs). Policy Topic 2 -Joint Planning within UGAs Policies 1. The joint planning process should: a. Include all jurisdictions adjacent to the Urban Growth Area and Special Purpose Districts that will be affected by the eventual transference of governmental services; b. Recognize that Urban Growth Areas are potential annexation areas for cities; c. Ensure a smooth transition of services amongst existing municipalities and emerging communities; d. Ensure the ability to expand urban governmental services and avoid land use barriers to expansion; and e. Resolve issues regarding how zoning, subdivision and other land use approvals in designated joint planning areas will be coordinated. 2. Joint planning may be accomplished pursuant to an interlocal agreement entered into between and/or among jurisdictions and/or special purpose districts. Policy Topic 3 — Promotion of Contiguous and Orderly Development and Provision of Urban Services Policies 5. All jurisdictions shall coordinate plans that classify, designate and protect natural resource lands and critical areas. 7. Each jurisdiction's comprehensive plan shall include, at a minimum, the following policies to address adequate fire protection: a. Limit growth to areas served by a fire protection district or within the corporate limits of a city providing its own fire department. b. Commercial and residential subdivisions and developments and residential planned unit developments shall include the provision for road access adequate for residents, fire department or district ingress/egress, and water supply for fire protection. Adopted April 25, 2006 3 Chapter 2— Land Use City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Contamination of an aquifer by contaminated surface water can lead to serious health concerns and/or expensive treatment requirements. To address this concern and impacts of new development, the City has adopted a Stormwater Management Plan. The plan specifies actions to ensure water, quality including the development of detention/retention facilities to control rate and quality of water runoff. Furthermore, development of a wellhead protection program with the various water providers should provide guidelines to avoid possible contamination. Policies contained in the Natural Environment chapter provide direction for development near wellheads and in aquifer recharge areas. For a complete discussion of water resources and water purveyors in the City of Spokane Valley, refer to the Capital Facilities chapter. 2.3.3 Parks and Open Space One of the most important and valued elements of a high quality living and working environment is a parks and open space system. Providing parks and open spaces contributes to a reduction in environmental impacts such as noise and air pollution; increases the value of adjacent properties; provides areas for passive and active recreation; and helps preserve the natural beauty of the City. 2.3.4 Natural Environment Spokane Valley's natural beauty is apparent. Streams, wetlands, surrounding mountains and the Spokane River provide a scenic backdrop as well as a source for active and passive recreation for the citizens of Spokane Valley. The Land Use chapter seeks to protect Spokane Valley's unique natural resources through policies that support the preservation of these areas for future generations. The Natural Environment chapter also includes a discussion of critical areas as defined by.GMA. For a complete discussion, please refer to the Natural Environment chapter. 2.3.5 Housing Housing is a basic human need and a major factor in the quality of life for individuals and families. An adequate supply of affordable, attractive, and functional housing is fundamental to achieving a sense of community. The central issue related to land use is supplying enough land to accommodate projected growth for a range of incomes and households. Presently, housing is provided primarily in single-family subdivisions. This plan sets forth strategies to increase housing options and choices. The Land Use chapter advocates changes to current development codes to increase flexibility in platting land and encourage housing as part of mixed-use developments in commercial areas. The latter CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY provides an opportunity to locate POPULATION ESTIMATES housing closer to employment and shopping, and to create affordable 150,000 housing. A complete discussion of 140,000 housing can be found in the 130,000 Housing chapter. 120,000 2.4 Potential Annexation Areas 110,000 Projected G-rowth Development Capacity 1.00,000 2.4.1 Projected Growth 90,000 80,000 In October 2003, the City of 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 Spokane Valley received a 2000 000 002 o0sr 000 000 0,0 07,2 Do 076 0'0 020 022 2v population certification from the U.S. Census Bureau that indicated ---Population:Actual/Estimate 80,927 people called Spokane —Population Estimate:1.5%Growth Rate Valley home on April 1, 2000. As of —Population Estimate:2.5%Growth Rate April 1, 2003 the population had Adopted April 25, 2006 9 Chapter 2—Land Use City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan grown to 82,005 (based on the Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM) population estimates). Upon incorporation on March 31, 2003, the City of Spokane Valley became the state's ninth largest city and second largest in Spokane County. Spokane Valley received an OFM population estimate for April 1, 2004 of 83,950. This new population estimate moved Spokane Valley from the state's ninth largest city to the state's eighth largest city. The 2004 population estimate reflects an annual increase of approximately 3.5 2.4 percent over the city's 2003 population estimate. The most recent OFM estimate for Spokane Valley is 88,280 as of April 1, 2007. This figure represents an annual growth rate of approximately 1.5 percent. The average annual growth rate is approximately 1.91% over the 4 year period from 2003 to 2007. Future population growth is forecasted at the state and county level by OFM. This future population growth was distributed between jurisdictions and unincorporated Spokane County through a methodology prepared by the Spokane County Steering Committee of Elected Officials (SCEO). The City of Spokane Valley was not allocated population growth originally because the City had not been incorporated when this action took place. However, the County did allocate population to the "Spokane Valley IUGA", which includes the new cities of Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake. This process resulted in a population growth allocation of 39,431 to the Spokane Valley IUGA. This IUGA also includes areas within the UGA that are still in unincorporated Spokane County. The graph above indicates Spokane Valley's 20 year population using a 1.5% and 2.5% annual growth rate. Using the 1.5% annual growth rate, which is consistent with past estimated growth rates in the Spokane Valley area, the estimated 2025 population of Spokane Valley is 114,765 or an increase of 30,815 persons. The 2.5% annual growth rate results in a 2025 population of 141,011, an increase of 57,061. Spokane Valley proposed a population allocation of 20,666 to the SCEO based on the regional land capacity methodology. This request was proposed as an "interim" request based on the land/population capacity within the existing corporate boundaries of Spokane Valley. The reason for this request was based on the significant issues related to waste water treatment capacity. Once the waste water issues have been resolved, Spokane Valley will prepare a revision to the population allocation and present this information to the SCEO. This issue is discussed in more detail below. The Spokane County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) approved this population allocation in November 2004. The City has continued to refine the population projections based on the preceding information. At a City Council retreat held on February 11, 2006, the City Council directed staff to utilize a 1.89% annual growth rate for purposes of population forecasting. This resulted in a 20 year population forecast of 38,614 persons. This information was presented to the SCEO on February 15, 2006 when the City officially requested a 20 year population allocation of 38,614 for planning purposes. In 2006 the BoCC approved via Resolution 06-0438 a population allocation of 33,125 for Spokane Valley for planning purposes. 2.4.2 Land Capacity Analysis The GMA does not require a Population and Land Capacity Element to be included in the comprehensive plan. However, GMA does require that Land Use, Housing and Capital Facilities Elements include population densities, building intensities and estimates of future population growth. The GMA also requires a Land Capacity Analysis, or the theoretical holding capacity of the designated Urban Growth Areas, which by definition includes cities. By assigning the expected population growth to the results of the Land Capacity Analysis, the area required to accommodate the population growth is shaped. Countywide population forecasts are identified by the CWPPs, as one criterion for consideration in developing a regional methodology or countywide population allocation. The countywide growth target is based on the OFM growth management population forecast for Spokane County. Adopted April 25, 2006 10 Chapter 2— Land Use City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan within the existing city limits of each city. The rationale for this recommendation was based on the situation regarding sanitary sewer throughout the entire Spokane region. It is estimated that the Spokane County treatment plant will run out of capacity in 2009, and the Liberty Lake Water & Sewer District treatment capability is currently at or near capacity. Permits to expand the Spokane County and Liberty Lake plants from the Washington State Department of Ecology and the Environmental Protection Agency are currently in doubt. Given the potential constraint for both jurisdictions to provide this vital urban service, the Steering Committee forwarded a recommendation to the Spokane County Board of County Commissioners to allocate only the population that could be accommodated within existing city limits until such time as the sanitary sewer issues are resolved. 2.4.3 Potential Annexation Areas The purpose of this section is to identify the unincorporated areas within the existing Spokane County UGA that are adjacent to the City of Spokane Valley, which would comprise potential annexation areas for the City. Map 2.2 indicates potential annexation areas (PAAs) for the City of Spokane Valley. Spokane County adopted its first comprehensive plan developed under GMA in 2001. A complete examination of urban services was required at the time the County established the UGA, moreover, Spokane County was obligated to comply with the State Environmental Policy Act. The County's plan included the designation of a regional UGA, which included the still unincorporated area of Spokane Valley. The County utilized the SEPA/GMA integration process to fulfill the environmental review requirements of the plan including the designated UGA. When Liberty Lake incorporated in 2001 and Spokane Valley incorporated in 2003 much of the "Valley UGA" was included as part of the newly created cities, but not all. In 2003 and again in 2006, Liberty Lake completed annexations totaling 975.69 acres of the County designated UGA. These annexations resulted in a nearly 34 percent increase (from 4.5 square miles to just over 6 square miles) in land area for Liberty Lake. As Table 2.1 indicates there are a number of unincorporated UGAs adjacent to Spokane Valley. Several of these UGAs are only contiguous to Spokane Valley (south, southeast, and northeast) and would be logical areas for future annexation to the City of Spokane Valley. Spokane County and the metro cities of Spokane Valley, Spokane, Liberty Lake and Airway Heights have begun the process of updating the regional UGA consistent with the county wide planning policies (CWPPs). Through this process, the City of Spokane Valley will identify areas needed to accommodate allocated population growth by re-evaluating land quantity analysis and urban service delivery. 2.5 Land Use Designations The land use designations in the SVCP recognize the relationships between broad - patterns of land uses. The designations set forth locational criteria for each specific class of uses consistent with the long-term objectives of the SVCP. These designations provide the purpose and intent .� for specific zoning districts.

Meeting attendees were asked to complete the survey and either return it before the end of the meeting, or to complete the survey at home and mail it to the city. In many cases the responses to the questions were similar to the responses of the formal survey conducted by Clearwater Research. These question numbers are right of the survey itself. The following are the results of the"unscientific" survey: Adopted April 25, 2006 26 Chapter 2—Land Use City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan LUP-17.3 The City should continue coordinated planning efforts between Spokane County, appropriate fire districts, school districts and water service providers to assure managed growth in urban growth areas.

Adopted April 25, 2006 37 Chapter 2— Land Use Chapter 3 - Transportation City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan-Chapter 3 Transportation o Basic (novice) or less confident adult cyclists may also use their bicycles for transportation purposes, e.g., to get to the store or to visit friends, but prefer to avoid roads with fast busy motor vehicle traffic unless there is ample roadway width to allow easy overtaking by faster motor vehicles. Thus, basic riders are comfortable riding on a neighborhood street and shared use paths and prefer designated facilities such as bike lanes or wide curb lanes on busier streets. • Children riding on their own or with their parents, may not travel as fast as their adult counterparts but still require access to key destinations in their community, such as schools, convenience stores, and recreational facilities. Residential streets with low motor vehicle speeds, well-defined bike lanes or shared used paths can accommodate children without encouraging them to ride in the travel lane of the busy roadways. The following terms define different types of bicycle facilities8: • Shared-use Path: Facilities on separated right-of-way and with minimal cross flow by motor vehicles. Minimum with of 6 feet.

Minimum of 5 feet with an additional 8-inch stripe. Bicycle lanes improve conditions for cyclists of all abilities within a given corridor and encourage increased bicycle use by providing a greater degree of comfort and perceived safety for less skilled cyclists. o Signed Shared Roadway: Signed lane allowing both vehicular traffic and bicycle traffic.

Given their size, they are typically not intended to be used for programmed activities. 9,2.2 Neighborhood Parks Neighborhood parks remain the basic unit of the - --- park system and serve as the recreational and social focus of the neighborhood. They should be developed for both active and passive recreation • wF• activities geared specifically for those living within t, the service area. Accommodating a wide variety of age and user groups, including children, adults, I. elderly, and special needs populations is -:'' ,i "' `� `' •' � important. Creating a sense of place by bringing _ together the unique character of the site with that of the neighborhood is vital to a successful _ - design. A neighborhood park should be centrally located within its service area, which encompasses a one- quarter to one-half mile radius uninterrupted by major streets or other physical barriers. A person's propensity to use a neighborhood park is greatly reduced if they perceive it to be difficult to access or not within a reasonable walking distance. Frequently neighborhood parks are developed adjacent to elementary schools. Generally, -- - -- - -- •••••••_•• - ••-•s•-- -- - • -- -Fy +.�—pc �n acres is considered optimal. neighborhood parks are small in size ranging from three to seven acres. Ease of access from the surrounding neighborhood, central location, and linkage to greenways are key concerns when selecting a site. Development of a neighborhood park should seek to achieve a balance between active and passive park uses. Potential active recreation facilities includes play structures, court games, informal playfield or open space, tennis courts, volleyball courts, horseshoe area, ice skating area, and wading pool and activity room. As a general rule, active recreation facilities should consume approximately 50% of the parks area leaving the remaining 50%for passive recreation areas. Neighborhood parks typically include the following facilities: • Accessible play equipment meeting appropriate standards for children five and under, and children older than five years of age; • Picnic areas with tables, cook grills, shelters, drinking fountains, and trash receptacles; • Multi purpose courts for basketball and volleyball or lighted tennis courts; ; • Level, open play area for athletic team practice or "pick-up"games; : t i ; ;ta• • Landscaping for beautification of the site and to .k'- '' el ,;: provide some perimeter screening of the facility; • Security lighting and an internal trail system that 'g ` �'�= � '; is linked to adjacent sidewalks. 9.2.3 School-Park « r . .z By combining the resources of two public agencies F (school district and city), the School-Park classification • allows for expanding recreational, social, and education opportunities available to the community in an efficient - and cost effective manner. Depending on its size, one ' • Adopted April 25, 2006 3 Chapter 9—Parks, Recreation and the Arts City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan school-park site may serve in a number of capacities, such as a neighborhood park, youth athletic fields, and a school. The important outcome in the joint-use relationship is that both the school district and the city's park system benefit from shared use of facilities and land area. The optimum size of a school-park is dependent upon its intended use. The size criteria established for neighborhood and community park classifications should be used as appropriate. The school lands, including the building and special use facilities, should not be considered in the level of service (LOS). Establishing a clearly defined joint-use agreement between the school district and city is critical to making school-park relationships workable. This is particularly important with respect to acquisition, development, maintenance, liability, use, and programming of facilities. 9.2.4 Community Parks Community parks are larger in size and serve a broader purpose than neighborhood parks. Their focus is on meeting the recreation needs of several neighborhoods or large sections of the community. They allow for group activities and offer other recreational opportunities that either ape's not feasible or not desirable at the neighborhood park level. A community park will serve two or more neighborhoods. The service area can range from a one-half mile to three two mile radius depending on population densities and other factors. Community parks should be served by arterial or major collector streets and be easily accessible from the entire service area by way of interconnecting trails. Community parks should accommodate both passive and active recreation activities. Incorporation of natural features such as lakes, ponds, rivers or other natural resource features is highly desirable. Land within 100 year flood plains should not be used for siting recreation facilities, but should rather be used for passive recreation areas. Community parks are typically developed for both active and passive recreation uses. Although active recreation facilities are intended to be used in an informal and unstructured manner, reserved and programmed use is compatible and acceptable. However, community parks are not normally intended to be used exclusively for programmed adult athletic use and tournaments. Potential active recreation facilities include: • Lighted competitive athletic facilities such as soccer, softball, tennis, baseball and basketball; • Multipurpose trails for walking,jogging, exercise, and transportation; • Recreation center, swimming pools, or group meeting facilities; • Support facilities such as an internal road system, lighted parking areas, rest rooms, concessions, and security lighting; • Landscaping for beautification of the facilities and perimeter landscaping to screen the facility or activities. 9.2.5 Regional or Large Urban Parks Regional or large urban parks serve a broader purpose than community parks and are used when community and neighborhood parks are not adequate to serve the needs of the community. The focus of regional parks is on meeting community-based recreation needs, as well as preserving unique landscapes and open spaces. Due to the size and intensity of recreation activities, regional parks should be located with immediate access to an arterial street. Regional parks should not be located in residential areas given the potential impact from traffic, light, glare and noise. A regional park should be centrally located within the proposed service area, to the extent possible. Typically, regional parks are a minimum of 50 acres in size, with 75 or more acres considered optimal. In addition to neighborhood and community park facilities, new regional parks should include some or all of the following: • Lakes, forests, and nature environment education facilities; • Multipurpose trails; Adopted April 25, 2006 4 Chapter 9— Parks, Recreation and the Arts City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan • Historic/Cultural/Social Sites — unique local resources offering historical, educational, and cultural opportunities. Examples include historic downtown areas, performing arts parks, arboretums, ornamental gardens, performing arts facilities, indoor theaters, churches, public buildings and amphitheaters. o Recreation Facilities — specialized or single purpose facilities. Examples include community centers, senior centers, community theaters, hockey arenas, marinas, golf courses, and aquatic parks. Frequently community buildings are located in a neighborhood or community park. ✓ Outdoor Recreation Facilities — Examples include tennis centers, softball complexes, and sports stadiums. Facility space requirements are the primary determinant of site size. For example, a golf course may require 150 acres to accommodate all the necessary facilities and parking, whereas a community center with parking may fit on 10 to 15 acres. Special use facilities should be strategically located rather than serving well-defined neighborhoods or areas. The site should be located so that it is accessible from arterials or collector streets. Locating a special use facility is variable depending on the type of facility. 9.3 Parks Future Needs Assessment 9.3.1 Existing Conditions GMA (36.70A.070) requires jurisdictions to estimate parks and recreation demand for a minimum of a ten year period. In order to predict or estimate park and recreation demand in the future, an analysis of existing park and recreation demand is the first step. As of June 1, 2005, Spokane Valley had a total of 163.45 acres of parks. The City's official April 1, 2005 population as estimated by the Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM) was 85,010. This results resulted in an existing parks level of service (LOS) of 1.92 acres of city parks per 1,000 residents, which is the adopted level of service for parks. The City's 2007 OFM estimate is 88,280. In 2007 the City purchased 8.3 acres of land in the Greenacres area for a future neighborhood park. The addition of the new park land in Greenacres enables the City to maintain the established level of service for parks. Map 9.1 identifies existing parks and recreation facilities within the City of Spokane Valley A community-wide survey conducted in March and April of 2004 included a number of questions related to parks and recreation services. Eighty percent of respondents indicated that they considered parks in Spokane Valley to be good, very good or excellent. Approximately 56 percent of the respondents indicated that building more parks should be either a medium or high priority.

Spokane Valley prepared a land capacity analysis of the city and surrounding UGAs based on the above regional methodology. The original analysis included the Alcott Joint Planning Area, which has been deleted from the information below. The results of this analysis were presented to the SCEO on June 24 and July 29, 2004 requesting a population allocation for planning purposes. Spokane Valley proposed a population allocation of 20,666 to the SCEO based on the regional land capacity methodology. This request was proposed as an "interim" request based on the land/population capacity within the existing corporate boundaries of Spokane Valley. The reason for this request was based on the significant issues related to waste water treatment capacity. Once the waste water issues have been resolved, Spokane Valley will prepare a revision to the population allocation and present this information to the SCEO. The Spokane County Board of County Commissioners approved this population allocation in November 2004. In 2006 the BoCC approved via Resolution 06-0438 a population allocation of 33.125 for Spokane Valley for planning purposes. The following table summarizes estimated population growth and the impact on parks and recreation facilities.

To maintain the existing LOS, the city would need to add approximately 39A5 58.89 acres of parks by the year 2025. 9.4 The Arts Arts and culture are essential for continuing the growth and development of Spokane Valley's citizens, economy and quality of life. Spokane Valley should strive to become more than a marketplace. It should become a dynamic place where both citizens and visitors can experience a quality environment that includes the Arts. Neighborhoods and business districts should enhance their vibrancy and distinctive sense of place. These areas should offer a wide variety of cultural choices and opportunities for social interaction and self-expression. Adopted April 25, 2006 8 Chapter 9—Parks, Recreation and the Arts City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan NEP-12.3 Encourage the use and preservation of native plants in residential and nonresidential landscaping. NEP-12.4 Foster the protection of wildlife corridors in publicly owned open space where appropriate.

The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted plan not affected by the amendment; The proposed amendment is consistent with the Growth Management Act. Adjacent land use designations are consistent with the proposed amendment. c. The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies; The proposed amendment does not respond to a substantial change in conditions. d. The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error; or The proposed amendment does not correct a mapping error. e. The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment does not address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The City must also consider the following factors prior to approving Comprehensive Plan amendments: a. The effect upon the physical environment; Pursuant to Title 21 (Environmental Controls) of the City of Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code, the lead agency has determined that this proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. Further environmental evaluation may be completed at the time of development. b. The effect on open space, streams,rivers,and lakes; The SEPA checklist states that there is no surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of site. c. The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods; The proposed amendment is contiguous to High Density Residential, Low Density Residential and Office Comprehensive Plan designations. The proposed amendment is also located adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods (west and south of CPA-01-08). At the time of development, standards in Title 22 (Design and Development Standards), will ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses. d. The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities,roads,public transportation, parks,recreation,and schools; The City of Spokane Valley addresses adequacy of community facilities on a citywide basis through capital facilities planning. Policy CFP-9.1 of the Comprehensive Plan recommends a concurrency management system for transportation, sewer, and water facilities. The City of Spokane Valley's Parks and Recreation Plan outlines an implementation strategy including a capital facilities plan, which identifies costs and revenue sources for new parks. The proposed amendment will have an impact on schools considering the request is for a medium density residential designation. Staff Report and Recommendation to the Planning Commission for CPA-01-08 Page 3 of 5 e. The benefit to the neighborhood,City,and region; The proposed amendment will provide medium density residential development opportunities increasing the low to mid income residential housing in the surrounding neighborhood f. The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land; The proposed amendment is approximately 2.07 acres in size and will provide additional medium density residential housing. The potential demand for this type of residential development is high in areas in close proximity to major transportation routes, schools and parks. g. The current and projected population density in the area; and The proposed amendment will potentially increase population density. The proposed amendment does not demand population analysis. h. The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will have minimal impact on other aspects of the plan. B. COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 19(ZONING REGULATIONS)OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE Findings: Section 19.40.070(Medium Density Multi-family Residential District) Spokane Valley Municipal Code The Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment is from Low Density Residential(LDR)to Medium Density Residential (MDR) and corresponding zoning map amendment from Single-family Residential District(R-3) and Single-family Residential Urban District(R-4)to Medium Density Multi-family Residential District(MF-1). The Medium Density Multi-family Residential classification designation represents an opportunity to provide a range of housing types to accommodate anticipated residential growth.Multi-family residential zones with densities not to exceed twelve (12) units per acre should be used as transitional zoning between higher intensity land uses such as commercial and office to lower density single-family neighborhoods. These areas should also be located near services and transit routes. Conclusion(s): The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment is approximately 2.07 acres in size and is adjacent to higher density residential uses such as retirement apartments to the north and to single-family residences to the south. Existing office buildings are located on the east of the property and the site is located one-quarter (1/4) south of the STA route located on Mission Avenue. CPA-01-08 is consistent with the intention of the Medium Density Multi-family Residential District. B. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Medium Density Residential(MDR)classification encourages the development of housing types, such as duplexes,townhouses,and condominiums in existing multi-family areas. Multi-family residential zones should be used as transitional zoning between higher intensity land uses to lower density single family neighborhoods.Zoning will allow up to twelve(12)dwelling units per acre. Staff analysis is italicized. 1. LUG-2 of the Comprehensive Plan encourages a wide range of housing types and densities commensurate with the community's needs and preferences. Staff Comment: At the time of development, the developer should consider LUG-2 to promote an assortment of residential types for the growing population.

City of Spokane Valley Long Range Planning Division 11707 East Sprague Avenue, Suite 106 Spokane Valley,WA 99206 SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR 1112 NORTH MAIVIER ROAD Dear Sirs: This letter serves to provide a full explanation for the request to amend the Comprehensive Plan map designation for parcel AP#45151.1216 and parcel AP#45151.0926 located at 1112 North Mamer Road. The current designation for the two subject properties is Low Density Residential;the applicant is requesting the designation be changed to Medium Density Residential for both sites.The amendment to parcel AP#45151.0926 is to provide a more consistent Comprehensive Plan Map as requested during discussions with City Planning staff.The amendment on the AP#45151.1216 site would allow for the construction of three three-unit residential buildings. These nine residential units are intended for low to medium income unassisted senior housing to complement existing facilities on the adjacent parcel(AP#45151.0926), and the Evergreen Assisted Living Center.Residents of these new units will utilize the facilities, amenities,and public transit route located at the Evergreen Assisted Living Center.All three involved sites are owned by the applicant. A Comprehensive plan change of the two parcels will provide a transitional zone spanning from North Mamer Road to the Office designated lots abutting North Evergreen Road.Together these separate the High Density Residential land use of the Evergreen Assisted Living Center to the north and the low density single family residences to the south of the site. A Medium Density Residential designation represents an opportunity to increase the range of housing types within the area,is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, and complements the current adjacent land uses. The proposed project meets the criteria requirements of Spokane Valley Ordinance No. 06-020 as follows: • A. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, welfare, and protection of the environment; The amendment of the Comprehensive Plan for these sites will result in the development of senior housing in a multi-unit development.Health care facilities will be made available to residents at the adjacent Evergreen Assisted Living Center.The multi-unit development will provide more housing opportunities with less environmental impact than the same number of single family residences. 908 North Howard Street Suite 300 Spokane Washineton 99201 Telephone:509327.8697 Facsimile 509.3277345 City of Spokane Valley • October 22,2007 ,,, 0 Page 2 B. The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements ofRCW 36.70A and with the portion of the City's adopted plan not affected by the amendment; The amendment to the Comprehensive plan,and the subsequent development of the site,provides for development in an urban area where adequate public facilities and services exist.The project reduces sprawl by reducing inappropriate low-density development. The project encourages efficient multimodal transportation systems due to an increased use of adjacent transit stops at the Evergreen Assisted Living Center. The project increases the availability of affordable housing to retired seniors and helps promote a variety of residential densities and housing types.The increased number of residences on the site promotes economic opportunities,and the retention and expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses, at the adjacent office use areas without detrimental impacts on natural resources,public services, and public facilities.The property rights of landowners are not being affected by the amendment. Open space and recreation space are not being removed or damaged. The project does not have a detrimental impact on the environment. Current public _ facilities and services can be utilized without being overburdened.Development of the site does not impact any lands;sites, or structures that have historical or archaeological significance.The site does not impact rural, agricultural,forested,or mineral rich lands. The proposed scale of the project is in keeping with the area. C. The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies; A high density residential area has been placed adjacent to the site which,based on the definitions of low medium and high density residential uses in the Comprehensive Plan,warrants a denser residential use on the site. D. The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error, and The proposed amendment provides a medium density residential buffer between a high density residential area and a low density residential area that is not currently provided. E. The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment provides a medium density residential buffer between a high density residential area and a low density residential area that is not currently provided. Spokane Valley Ordinance No. 06-020 requires that the following factors be addressed as part of the approval of an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan: A. The effect upon the physical environment; The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment is for a site that currently has a single residence.The proposed development for the site will provide nine senior retiree residences within the same space and will be used in conjunction with existing facilities at the adjacent Evergreen Assisted Living Center. There will be an increase of housing without an increase in land usage. B. The effect on open space, streams, rivers, and lakes; The site does not house any water bodies or significant open space. • City of Spokane Valley October 22,2007 Page 3 C. The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods; The proposed project on parcel AP#45151.1216 is intended to complement the current use on parcel AP#45151.0926 and the adjacent Evergreen Assisted Living Center to the north of the sites while providing a buffer between the high density residential area and a low density residential area to the south of the site. • D. The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads,public transportation, parks, recreation and schools; The development proposed for the site is intended for senior retirees and will have a minor increase on community facility usage but no great impact on current infrastructure.The increased residential density will increase the tax base at the site to cover the increased use of the utilities and infrastructure. E. The benefit to the neighborhood, city and region; The proposed usage for the site will provide an increase in affordable housing for the elderly in a multi-family type setting that ties into an existing elderly comnronity center.It will provide a buffer between a high density residential area and a low density residential area. F. The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land; The two sites make up a combined 90,115 square feet. The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment increases medium density housing availability in an otherwise low density residential dominated area, but keeps it adjacent to a high density residential use area allowing for a buffer between the two densities. G. The current and projected population density in the area; and • The site will increase the population density of the area by no more than an additional 20 to 30 people. H. The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment will provide an improved transition between less compatible land uses currently provided for on the Comprehensive Plan map.

Solid Waste Program It is preferable to leave the existing vegetation undisturbed for both aesthetic and practical reasons. However, if it must be removed the applicant is encouraged to dispose of it at a compost facility or replant it elsewhere. To limit use and exposure to toxic chemicals, the applicant should use integrated pest management (IPM)tools to control problem insects,molds and weeds. Please see www.ecv.wa.gov/programs/swfa/upest for information on IPM in schools and residential environments or contact Marni Solheim at(509)329-3564. The website also contains pesticide use laws for landlords,public schools and licensed daycare facilities. Landscaping should incorporate waste prevention measures and the use of organic materials. Water needs are reduced by use of drought tolerant plantings, compost material,mulch, and drip irrigation. Pesticide and herbicide use is eliminated or reduced by use of pest resistant and native plantings. Compost is also an effective soil amendment. Chipped woody debris can be used to t• l Ms. Micki Hamois • February 28, 2008 Paget mulch ornamental beds, suppress weeds,retain moisture, control erosion, and provide a basefor pathways: We also recommend using organic debris generated on-site if possible for landscaping. The applicant proposes to.demolish an existing structure(s). Item B.7.a of the checklist asks if there are any environmental health hazards that could occur as a result of the proposal. Improper. disposal of solid waste,including demolition waste, can result in environmental health hazards. We encourage the applicant to salvage,reuse, and recycle as much of the waste as possible. . Recycling demolition debris is typically less expensive than disposal. Otherwise,the demolition . waste must be disposed of at a permitted solid waste facility. We encourage the applicant to use construction products containing recycled and non-toxic materials whenever possible,to reuse and recycle all leftover construction materials, and reduce waste generated and practice"Green Building"principals in all aspects of the project.

Although Central Valley School District does not see any issues between the proposed plat application and the district's present facilities and properties; it should be noted that the district cannot ensure students within the proposed plat will attend the closest school.' Based upon current,enrollment growth rates the potential exists to transport s_tUderits•to schools-in various areas of the district based upon availability and enrollment at that point in time. The district expects to have room for students from these proposed new homes if they are occupied before Fall 2008. If, however, they will be completed after that time, Central Valley School District asks that the City of Spokane Valley 1) postpone approval in line With provisions of state law(RCW 58.17:110(1&2), the Growth Management Act, Spokane County's Comprehensive Plan and the City of Spokane Valley's Comprehensive Plan, pending availability of additional school facilities, or 2) condition approval on payment by the developer of a per dwelling unit fee equal to the district's eligibility for school impact fees.

These are the current classification which will take place on October 28, 2007 The owner also owns (2) adjacent parcels which are identified as 45072.7004 and 45072.7007 which are under the new code zoned the CMU classification. These 2 parcels front on Trent Avenue and there are currently(4) existing buildings on the 2 parcels. The subject parcel fronts on Carlisle Avenue and currently has a single family residence and a detached garage building. This property has been vacant since the purchase in January of 2007. The owner would like to expand the commercial buildings into the subject property,this would include demolition of the residence and garage and one of the commercial buildings. Then construct a new building of approx 5,000 s.f. with a 2 bay recessed truck well for shipping and receiving. This truck well would be accessed from Trent Avenue. The existing use of the commercial building is light assembly of parts to create large commercial paint booths for the automotive industry. The process is as follows: parts are received by truck and sorted then parts are assembled to create a complete package to be shipped out by truck there is no manufacturing on site. The ordination of the new addition will be to the west of the existing buildings and will face Trent Avenue. With the new building set this way, it will provide along the required landscaping a protection buffer between the commercial and the adjoining residential areas. We feel that this would be the best use of the subject property, due to the existing residence and garage, are in a run down condition. Approval Criteria Part 1 A. Our proposal will help the area by(1) removal of a run down residence and (2) with the required landscaping provide a buffer between commercial and residential zones. B. Our proposal is consistent with the requirements under the new code, the adjacent property is already zoned CMU and with this amendment change, it will allow expansion of an existing business. C. The change is a change which is allowed, this also will help the owner expand his business and remove an undesirable run down property. D. The proposed does not correct a mapping error. It just will benefit the neighborhood and allows a local business to stay in the area. E. The proposed does not address any deficiencies in the current compressive plan. Part 2 A. The affects of our proposal are (1) expansion of an existing local business, • keeping them in the area and (2)cleaning up the neighborhood by removing an unwanted run down residence. B. The proposed will no affect any open space, stream, river or lake due to none of these items exists at the site. C. The proposed would be compatible with the adjacent properties to the east and south because this is the location of the business wishing to expand. As the compatibility with the neighborhood, the required landscaping and setbacks would create buffers from the two uses. D. This proposal would not increase the impact of any of these items,because they all already are present and exist at the site. E. Benefits to the neighborhood are beatification of a nm down residence to the city and region, keeping a local business and tax dollars in the area. F. The property is located between Dick and Vista fronting on Carlisle Avenue identified as 8124 E. Carlisle,parcel number 45072.7003. This parcel consists of • 10, 312 s.f. with a single family residence and detached garage. G. With the proposal there should be no changes to the current or projected population densities because the area in which the property is located is an already established community and neighborhood. H. Our proposal would not have any other affects of the current comprehensive plan.

The Department of Ecology has reviewed the documents and would like to submit the following comments: Solid Waste Program The applicant proposes to demolish an existing structure(s). Item B.7.a of the checklist asks if there are any environmental health hazards that could occur as a result of the proposal. Improper disposal of solid waste, including demolition waste, can result in environmental health hazards. We encourage the applicant to salvage,reuse,and recycle as much of the waste as possible. Recycling demolition debris is typically less expensive than disposal. Otherwise,the demolition waste must be disposed of at a permitted solid waste facility. We encourage the applicant to use construction products containing recycled and non-toxic materials whenever possible,to reuse and recycle all leftover construction materials,and reduce waste generated and practice "Green Building"principals in all aspects of the project. Recycling construction debris is typically less expensive than disposal. Please contact Allison Gray at(509)329-3448 or agra461@ecy.wa.gov for assistance. It is preferable to leave the existing vegetation undisturbed for both aesthetic and practical reasons. However, if it must be removed the applicant is encouraged to dispose of it at a compost facility or replant it elsewhere. Landscaping should incorporate waste prevention measures and the use of organic materials. Water needs are reduced by use of drought tolerant plantings, compost material,mulch,and drip irrigation. Pesticide and herbicide use is eliminated or reduced by use of pest resistant and native plantings. Compost is also an effective soil amendment. Chipped woody debris can be used to mulch ornamental beds, suppress weeds, retain moisture, control erosion,and provide a base for pathways. We also recommend using organic debris generated on-site if possible for landscaping. The applicant should consider designing the project so opportunities to recycle are at least as convenient as waste disposal. Try to provide adequate,properly located space inside and outside the project to accommodate equipment and containers for processing and storage of recyclables. Plan to recycle items such as paper, glass,aluminum and other metals, corrugated containers and plastic. Ms. Kathy McClung February 28, 2008 Page 2 During daily operations of the facility,we recommend using products and supplies that are recyclable and/or madefrom recycled materials. Use of low-toxic or non-toxic products for cleaning,maintenance, and other purposes are encouraged. Practicing waste prevention methods is also important. • Water Resources Program On-site septic tank and drainf eld systems are designed to treat and dispose of domestic wastewater or its equivalent only. Commercial and industrial operations discharging wastes other than domestic wastewater to on-site systems may result in ground water contamination and could cause the facility owner or operator to incur severe liabilities. Water Ouality Program All new dry wells and other injection wells must be registered with the Underground Injection Control program(UIC)at Department of Ecology prior to use and the discharge from the well(s)must comply with the ground water quality requirement.(nonendangennent standard)at the top of the ground water table. Contact the UIC staff at UIC Program,Department of Ecology,P.O.Box 47600,Olympia, WA 98504- 7600, (360)407-6143 or go to http://www.ecy.wa.aov/programs/wq/erndwtr/uic/registration/reg_info.lrtml for registration forms and further information. Stonnwater runoff may contain increased levels of grease,oils, sediment, and other debris. Stonnwater Best Management Practices(BMPs)should be installed and maintained so that any discharge will be appropriately treated to remove these substances. Dumpsters and refuse collection containers shall be durable,corrosion resistant,nonabsorbent,nonleaking, and have close fitting covers. If spillage or leakage does occur,the waste shall be picked up immediately and returned to the container and the area properly cleaned. State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA) • Ecology's comments are based upon the information provided with the SEPA checklist. As such,they do not constitute an exhaustive list.of the various authorizations that must be obtained or legal requirements that must be fulfilled in order to carry out the proposed action.

COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 17(GENERAL PROVISIONS)OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE Findings: Section 17.80.140 H.(Comprehensive Plan Amendment Approval Criteria"Spokane Valley Municipal Code 1. The City may approve Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide zone map amendments if it finds that (analysis is italicized): a. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety,welfare,and protection of the environment; The public health, safety, and general welfare will be promoted in accordance with standards established by the state and the City of Spokane Valley's regulations. b. The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted plan not affected by the amendment; The proposed amendment is consistent with the Growth Management Act. Adjacent land use designations are consistent with the proposed amendment. c. The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies; The proposed amendment does not respond to a substantial change in conditions. d. The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error; or The proposed amendment does not correct a mapping error. e. The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment does not address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The City must also consider the following factors prior to approving Comprehensive Plan amendments: a. The effect upon the physical environment; Pursuant to Title 21 (Environmental Controls) of the City of Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code, the lead agency has determined that this proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. Further environmental evaluation may be completed at the time of development. b. The effect on open space, streams,rivers, and lakes; The SEPA checklist states that there is no surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of site. c. The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods; The proposed amendment is contiguous to Office and Low Density Residential Comprehensive Plan designations. The proposed amendment is also located adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods (west of CPA-03-08). At the time of development, standards in Title 22 (Design and Development Standards), specifically 22.70 (Fencing, Screening, and Landscaping)will reduce impacts on adjacent properties by providing visual separation and physical buffers between land uses. d. The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities,roads,public transportation, parks,recreation,and schools; The City of Spokane Valley addresses adequacy of community facilities on a citywide basis through capital facilities planning. Policy CFP-9.1 of the Comprehensive Plan recommends a concurrency management system for transportation, sewer, and water facilities. The City of Spokane Valley's Parks and Recreation Plan outlines an implementation strategy including a capital facilities plan, which Staff Report and Recommendation to the Planning Commission for CPA-03-08 identifies costs and revenue sources for new parks. The proposed amendment will not have an impact on schools considering the request is for an office designation. e. The benefit to the neighborhood,City,and region; The proposed amendment will provide office, light retail and service establishments for the surrounding neighborhood. f. The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land; The proposed amendment is approximately 3.1 acres in size and will provide additional office and light retail uses. The potential demand for this type of office development is unknown. g. The current and projected population density in the area; and The proposed amendment will potentially decrease population density. The proposed amendment does not demand population analysis. h. The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will have minimal impact on other aspects of the plan. B. COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 19(ZONING REGULATIONS)OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE Findings: Section 19.60.050 (Office District)Spokane Valley Municipal Code The Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment is from Low Density Residential to Office and corresponding zoning map amendment from Single-family Residential District(R-3)and Single-family Residential Urban District(R-4)to Garden Office District(GO). The Garden Office designation is intended primarily for low-rise office development with limited retail or commercial uses. Retail and commercial uses are limited to those that are clearly subordinate to the primary office use or the retail function primarily serves the office uses in close proximity to the retail or commercial use. Garden Office uses provide a buffer between residential uses and commercial uses. Primary uses including medical and dental facilities, educational services, insurance, real estate, financial institutions, design firms, and legal services are representative of the Garden Office District. Conclusion(s): The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment is contiguous to other office uses and multi-family development. The office zoning will provide a transition between the low intensity commercial uses located on Argonne Road and the single-family residences located north and west of the site. Office uses work well for this because they tend to generate less traffic and noise, and operate shorter hours. CPA-03-08 is consistent with the intention of the Garden Office District(GO). B. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive plan states that the Office designation is intended primarily for low-to high-rise office development with limited retail or commercial uses. The plan further states,that Spokane Valley has areas of existing quality office development. Several developments within the Argonne/Mullan Couplet,Pines Road,and Evergreen Road corridors embody good design and are representative of desired future office development.The • project is adjacent to properties that front Argonne road. Staff analysis is italicized. 1. LUG-8 of the Comprehensive Plan encourages appropriate development standards for Office designated areas. Staff Report and Recommendation to the Planning Commission for CPA-03-08 Staff Comment: At the time of development, standards in Title 22 (Design and Development Standards), specifically 22.70 (Fencing, Screening, and Landscaping)will reduce impacts on adjacent properties by providing visual separation and physical buffers between land uses. 2. LUP-8.2 of the Comprehensive Plan recommends integrating sidewalks,bike lanes, landscaping,and area lighting in office areas to provide a safe and attractive working environment. Staff Comment: At the time of development, landscaping and lighting will be required for the new office development complying with Title 22 and other applicable regulations. There are existing sidewalks on Argonne. Traffic from the proposed use shall be directed from Marguerite Road via Alki Avenue to Argonne Road and not routed through the adjoining neighborhood C. PUBLIC FACILITIES Findings: The property is currently served with public water and sewer. Access is provided from Alki Avenue and Marguerite Road which are designated as Local Access Streets in the Spokane Valley Arterial Street Plan(Exhibit 5). D. FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO PUBLIC COMMENTS Findings: Staff has received no public comment concerning the proposal to date. Conclusion(s): Adequate public noticing was conducted for CPA-03-08 in accordance with adopted public noticing procedures. E. FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO AGENCY COMMENTS Findings: Agency comments are related to the physical development of the property. These comments will be addressed at the time of development. Comments are attached as exhibits to the staff report. Conclusion(s): Staff has reviewed comments and no concerns are noted. IV. OVERALL CONCLUSION The proposed Comprehensive Plan designation to Office and change in zoning classification to Garden Office is consistent with the Comprehensive Plans policies and goals. V.

COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 17(GENERAL PROVISIONS)OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE Findings: Section 17.80.140 H. (Comprehensive Plan Amendment Approval Criteria) Spokane Valley Municipal Code 1. The City may approve Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide zone map amendments if it finds that (analysis is italicized): a. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety,welfare,and protection of the environment; The public health, safety, and general welfare will be promoted in accordance with standards established by the state and the City of Spokane Valley's regulations. b. The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted plan not affected by the amendment; The proposed amendment is consistent with the Growth Management Act. Adjacent land use designations are consistent with the proposed amendment. c. The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies; The proposed amendment does not respond to a substantial change in conditions. d. The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error; or The proposed amendment does not correct a mapping error. e. The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment does not address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The City must also consider the following factors prior to approving Comprehensive Plan amendments: a. The effect upon the physical environment; Pursuant to Title 21 (Environmental Controls) of the City of Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code, the lead agency has determined that this proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. Further environmental evaluation may be completed at the time of development. b. The effect on open space, streams,rivers, and lakes; The SEPA checklist states that there is no surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of site. c. The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods; The proposed amendment is contiguous to Medium Density Residential and Corridor Mixed Use Comprehensive Plan designations. The proposed amendment is also located adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods (west and south of CPA-04-08). At the time of development, standards in Title 22 (Design and Development Standards), will ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses. d. The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities,roads,public transportation, parks,recreation, and schools; The City of Spokane Valley addresses adequacy of community facilities on a citywide basis through capital facilities planning. Policy CFP-9.1 of the Comprehensive Plan recommends a concurrency management system for transportation, sewer, and water facilities. The City of Spokane Valley's Parks and Recreation Plan outlines an implementation strategy including a capital facilities plan, which Staff Report and Recommendation to the Planning Commission for CPA-04-08 identifies costs and revenue sources for new parks. The proposed amendment will have an impact on schools considering the request is for a medium density residential designation. e. The benefit to the neighborhood, City,and region; The proposed amendment will provide medium density residential development opportunities increasing the low to mid income residential housing in the surrounding neighborhood f. The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land; The proposed amendment is approximately three (3) acres in size and will provide additional medium density residential housing. The potential demand for this type of residential development is high in areas in close proximity to major transportation routes, schools and parks. g. The current and projected population density in the area; and The proposed amendment will potentially increase population density. The proposed amendment does not demand population analysis. h. The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will have minimal impact on other aspects of the plan. B. COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 19(ZONING REGULATIONS)OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE Findings: Section 19.40.070(Medium Density Multifamily Residential)Spokane Valley Municipal Code The Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment is from Corridor Mixed Use to Medium Density Residential and corresponding zoning map amendment from Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) to Medium Density Multi-family Residential(MF-1). The Medium Density Multifamily Residential District represents an opportunity to provide a range of housing types to accommodate anticipated residential growth. Multi-family residential zones with densities not to exceed 12 units per acre should be used as transitional zoning between higher intensity land uses such as commercial and office to lower density single-family neighborhoods. Medium density residential areas should be located near services and high capacity transit facilities or transit routes. Conclusion(s): The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment is approximately 3.0 acres in size and will be adjacent to other medium density residential uses in the area furthering the transitional characteristics between commercial and lower density single-family residential neighborhoods. CPA-04-08 is consistent with the intention of the Medium Density Multi-family Residential District. B. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Medium Density Residential(MDR)classification encourages the development of housing types such as duplexes,townhouses,and condominiums in existing multi family areas.Multi-family residential zones should be used as transitional zoning between higher intensity land uses to lower density single family neighborhoods.Zoning will allow up to twelve(12)dwelling units per acre. Staff analysis is italicized. 1. LUG-2 of the Comprehensive Plan encourages a wide range of housing types and densities commensurate with the community's needs and preferences. Staff Report and Recommendation to the Planning Commission for CPA-04-08 Staff Comment: At the time of development, the developer should consider LUG-2 to promote an assortment of residential types for the growing population. 2. HG-1 of the Comprehensive Plan encourages diversity in design to meet the housing needs of the residents of the community and region. Staff Comment: The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment is located adjacent to an existing residential neighborhood(south and west of CPA-04-08). The development is within walking distance of future transit corridors, schools and recreational facilities. 3. HP-2.6 of the Comprehensive Plan recommends the development of new affordable housing within one-quarter mile of transit corridors. Staff Comment: The proposal site is located just south of existing transit corridor along Sprague Avenue and possible future light rail corridor. C. PUBLIC FACILITIES Findings: The property is currently served with public water and is in the six(6)year sewer plan. Access is provided from Tschirley Street(Exhibit 5). D. FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO PUBLIC COMMENTS Findings: Staff has received no public comment concerning the proposal to date. Conclusion(s): Adequate public noticing was conducted for CPA-07-08 in accordance with adopted public noticing procedures. E. FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO AGENCY COMMENTS Findings: Agency comments are related to the physical development of the property. These comments will be addressed at the time of development. Comments are attached as exhibits to the staff report. Conclusion(s): Staff has reviewed comments and no concerns are noted. IV.

Page 4 of 29 Narrative The following is provided pursuant to Spokane Valley Ordinance No. 06-020. This proposed comprehensive plan amendment would promote public health, safety, welfare, and protect the environment. It is consistent with the city's adopted plan, and in fact would correct a map deviation and make the zoning consistent with adjoining properties. The proposed change would provide for needed low-middle income residential housing. The effect upon the environment would be nominal or positive. There are no streams, rivers, lakes, or sensitive areas impacted by the proposed change. The change would be compatible with the adjacent properties which are residential in nature. The neighborhood is in close proximity to public transportation,roads,recreation, and schools. Providing low-middle income single family residential housing would help fill a void which currently exists in the current comprehensive plan. Home ownership for that segment of our society would benefit the neighborhood, city, and region. The location is ideal for such housing because of the proximity to schools,public transportation, etc. Public services are adequate for the current and projected population density. This amendment would not effect other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. _ t0 "7-X------ 1/ S ephen H. Fo d iii Victor N. Cooper PART OV APPLICANT SIGNATURE I, VICTOR N.

Ford and Victor Cooper). The Department of Ecology has reviewed the documents and would like to submit the following comments: Water Resources Program Permit coverage under the Department of Ecology's Industrial Stormwater General Permit is required for industrial facilities that have specific Standard Industrial Classification(SIC) codes and have a discharge of stormwater from their industrial areas to a receiving water of the state, or to storm drains that discharge to a receiving water. Our review of your SEPA checklist indicates that your facility appears to meet the criteria for permit coverage. A booklet describing the permit in more detail and listing industries by SIC code required to obtain permit coverage may be found on the internet at http://www.ecy.wa,gov/programs/wq/stormwater/inds_bkl.pdf. Application for the permit should be made at least 38 days prior to commencement of industrial activities. The stormwater permit application form, referred to as a Notice of Intent, can be obtained by calling 360-407- 6437 or on the internet at http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/industrial/index.html. Though a facility may not need a stormwater permit,the operator is still responsible for compliance with other water quality laws and regulations. If you have questions concerning this comment, you may call the Department of Ecology's Lacey office at 360-407-6437 or Dave Duncan at 509-329-3554 at Ecology's Eastern Regional Office. Water Quality Program Proper erosion and sediment control practices must be used on the construction site and adjacent areas to prevent upland sediments from entering surface water. Local stormwater ordinances will • Ms. Kathy McClung February 28, 2008 Page provide specific requirements. Also refer to the Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington(http://www.ecv.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/eastern__manual/manual.html). All ground disturbed by construction activities must be stabilized. When appropriate,use native • vegetation typical of the site. All new dry wells and other injection wells must be registered with the Underground Injection Control program(UIC) at Department of Ecology prior to use and the discharge from the well(s) must comply with the ground water quality requirement(nonendangerment standard) at the top of the ground water table. Contact the UIC staff at UIC Program,Department of Ecology,P.O. Box 47600, Olympia, WA 98504-7600, (360) 407-6143 or go to http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/grndw r/uic/registration/re info.html for registration forms and further information. Stormwater runoff may contain increased levels of grease, oils, sediment, and other debris. Stormwater Best Management Practices(BMPs) should be installed and maintained so that any discharge will be appropriately treated to remove these substances. Dumpsters and refuse collection containers shall be durable, corrosion resistant,nonabsorbent, nonleaking, and have close fitting covers. If spillage or leakage does occur, the waste shall be picked up immediately and returned to the container and the area properly cleaned. Routine inspections and maintenance of all erosion and•sediment control Best Management Practices (BMPs) are recommended both during and after development of the site. State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA) • • Ecology's comments are based upon the information provided with the SEPA checklist.

Although Central Valley School District does not see any issues between the proposed plat application and the district's present facilities and properties; it should be noted that the district cannot ensure students within the proposed plat will attend the closest school. Based upon current enrollment growth rates the potential exists to transport students to schools.in various areas of the district based upon availability and enrollment at that point in time. The district expects to have room for students from these proposed new homes if they are occupied before Fall 2008. If, however, they will be completed after that time, Central Valley School District asks that the City of Spokane Valley 1) postpone approval in line with provisions of state law (RCW 58.17.110(1&2), the Growth Management Act, Spokane County's Comprehensive Plan and the City of Spokane Valley's Comprehensive Plan, pending availability of additional school facilities, or 2) condition approval on payment by the developer of a per dwelling unit fee equal to the district's eligibility for school impact fees. Again, thank you for the chance to provide comments to the subject plat application and if there are any questions, please feel free to contact me at 228-5411. Sincerely,, (\/�' 7. Bradley A.

COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 17(GENERAL PROVISIONS)OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE Findings: Section 17.80.140 H. (Comprehensive Plan Amendment Approval Criteria) Spokane Valley Municipal Code 1. The City may approve Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide zone map amendments if it finds that (analysis is italicized): a. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety,welfare,and protection of the environment; The public health, safety, and general welfare will be promoted in accordance with standards established by the state and the City of Spokane Valley's regulations. b. The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted plan not affected by the amendment; The proposed amendment is consistent with the Growth Management Act. Adjacent land use designations are consistent with the proposed amendment. c. The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies; The proposed amendment does not respond to a substantial change in conditions. d. The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error; or The proposed amendment does not correct a mapping error. e. The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment does not address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The City must also consider the following factors prior to approving Comprehensive Plan amendments: a. The effect upon the physical environment; Pursuant to Title 21 (Environmental Controls) of the City of Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code, the lead agency has determined that this proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. Further environmental evaluation may be completed at the time of development. b. The effect on open space, streams,rivers, and lakes; The SEPA checklist states that there is no surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of site. c. The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods; The proposed amendment is contiguous to Office and Low Density Residential Comprehensive Plan designations. The proposed amendment is also located adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods (north and south of CPA-05-08). At the time of development, standards in Title 22 (Design and Development Standards), specifically 22.70 (Fencing, Screening, and Landscaping) will reduce impacts on adjacent properties by providing visual separation and physical buffers between land uses. d. The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities,roads,public transportation, parks,recreation, and schools; The City of Spokane Valley addresses adequacy of community facilities on a citywide basis through capital facilities planning. Policy CFP-9.1 of the Comprehensive Plan recommends a concurrency management system for transportation, sewer, and water facilities. The City of Spokane Valley's Parks and Recreation Plan outlines an implementation strategy including a capital facilities plan, which Staff Report and Recommendation to the Planning Commission for CPA-05-08 identifies costs and revenue sources for new parks. The proposed amendment will not have an impact on schools considering the request is for an office designation. e. The benefit to the neighborhood,City,and region; The proposed amendment will provide office, light retail and service establishments for the surrounding neighborhood f. The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land; The proposed amendment is approximately 1.56 acres in size and will provide additional office and light retail uses. The potential demand for this type of office development is unknown. g. The current and projected population density in the area; and The proposed amendment will potentially decrease population density. The proposed amendment does not demand population analysis. h. The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will have minimal impact on other aspects of the plan. B. COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 19(ZONING REGULATIONS)OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE Findings: Section 19.60.020 (Garden Office District)Spokane Valley Municipal Code The Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment is from Low Density Residential to Office and corresponding zoning map amendment from Single-family Residential District(R-3)to Garden Office(GO). The Garden Office District is intended primarily for low-rise office development with limited retail or commercial uses. Retail and commercial uses are limited to those that are clearly subordinate to the primary office use or the retail function primarily serves the office uses in close proximity to the retail or commercial use. Garden office uses provide a buffer between residential uses and commercial uses. Conclusion(s): The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment is approximately 1.56 acres in size and will be adjacent to other office uses in the area furthering the transitional characteristics between commercial and lower density single- family residential neighborhoods. CPA-05-08 is consistent with the intention of the Office District. B. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Office(0)classification is intended primarily for low to high rise office development with limited retail or commercial uses. Retail and commercial uses are limited to those that are clearly subordinate to the primary office use, or the retail function primarily serves the office uses in close proximity to the retail or commercial use. Areas designated as Office can serve a variety of functions;they can act as buffers or transition areas between higher intensity land uses and lower intensity land uses. The plan further states,that Spokane Valley has areas of existing quality office development. Staff analysis is italicized. 1. LUG-8 of the Comprehensive Plan encourages appropriate development standards for Office designated areas. Staff Report and Recommendation to the Planning Commission for CPA-05-08 Staff Comment: At the time of development, standards in Title 22 (Design and Development Standards), specifically 22.70 (Fencing, Screening, and Landscaping)will reduce impacts on adjacent properties by providing visual separation and physical buffers between land uses. 2. LUP-8.2 of the Comprehensive Plan recommends integrating sidewalks,bike lanes,landscaping,and area lighting in office areas to provide a safe and attractive working environment. Staff Comment: At the time of development, landscaping and lighting will be required for the new office development complying with Title 22 and other applicable regulations. There are existing sidewalks on Broadway Avenue. • C. PUBLIC FACILITIES Findings: The property is currently served with public water and sewer. Access is provided from Broadway Avenue (Exhibit 5). D. FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO PUBLIC COMMENTS Findings: Staff has received no public comment concerning the proposal to date. Conclusion(s): Adequate public noticing was conducted for CPA-05-08 in accordance with adopted public noticing procedures. E. FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO AGENCY COMMENTS Findings: Agency comments are related to the physical development of the property. These comments will be addressed at the time of development. Comments are attached as exhibits to the staff report. Conclusion(s): Staff has reviewed comments and no concerns are noted. IV. OVERALL CONCLUSION The proposed Comprehensive Plan designation to Office and change in zoning classification to Garden Office(GO)is consistent with the Comprehensive Plans policies and goals. V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Planning Division after review and consideration of the submitted application and applicable approval criteria recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of CPA-05-08.

October 29,2007 City of Spokane Valley Long Range Planning Division 11707 E. Sprague Spokane Valley Wash. 99206 SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR 11901 E. BROADWAY PARCEL#45161.1171 Dear Sirs: This letter is intended to provide a general explanation in support of the request to amend the Comprehensive Plan map designation for parcel#45161.1171,located at the street address of 11901E Broadway. The current designation for the subject property is LDR/R3. The site has 1 single family 1367 square foot residence and 2 small outbuildings The residence is constructed of river rock and sits on a sloping hillside on the north side of Broadway Ave. The structure is a well known Spokane Valley landmark,but is not on any historical preservation list. There has been a small Home Business operated out of the site,which has been allowed by an approved variance,conditional use for Home Industry since 1989. One of the outbuildings is actually split in half as the current North/South zoning boundary dissects the existing building in half with one side(East)in current Garden Office,and the other (West)is in R3.This request would take the current oddly shaped boundary,which splits the existing building,and would square off the parcels into a clean and defined delineation and transition between Garden Office and existing LDR/R3 parcels to the west. This proposal would not eliminate the existing structure,as it would be remodeled to accommodate professional office space. The plans would include a newly constructed building that would mirror the office complex on the parcel next door to the East. This particular structure has a footprint of 3000 square feet and houses 3 separate business office spaces.These comparative parcels are all owned by the applicant. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment would provide a very natural transition and fits well into the policies and goals with existing Garden Office Zoning to the North and East,as well as the multi-family/Medium Density facilities to the South, directly across from the site on Broadway. The proposed project meets the criteria requirements of Spokane Valley Ordinance No. 06-020 as follows: A: The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety,welfare and protection of the enviro ment: The proposed amendment will result in a clear,clean border, delineation and a transition of current Garden Office Zoning and will eliminate the current condition where the original North/South boundary actually was drawn through an existing structure that straddles the two parcels owned by the applicant. The amendment also encourages business growth along a well defined corridor which supports the general layout and traffic flows around the main intersection of Broadway and Pines. This transition area into existing residential areas to the west protects the solitude and general welfare of existing neighborhoods. The project has no substantial negative environmental effects as a result of this amendment. B: The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of RCW 36.70A and with the portion of the Cities adopted plan not effected by the amendment; This amendment, the subsequent remodel, and future office space provides for healthy business growth in an area already defined as a natural transition area between LDR/R3—Garden Office—and Medium Density. The project enhances clustering of Office Space in an area that is very near available multi-modal transportation systems. This project promotes expansion and retention of existing business as well as promotes recruitment of new business and new financial contributions that are available to enhance current funding of public services. This project has no known detrimental effects on natural resources, existing public services or other facilities. The project will not overburden current facilities or services. C: The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owners control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies; This site has a border which was actually drawn through an existing structure splitting that structure into two separate zoning areas. This proposal would alleviate that oddly shaped design, and would create a clearly delineated area that aligns itself well with Broadway Ave. and continues to support a transition from Garden Office use existing on applicant's property adjoining to the east into the LDR area to the west and the MDR to the South. D: The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error; and The proposed amendment moves an existing line drawn through applicants existing structure and moves that line appropriately to the border of the parcel located approx 120 feet to the west. E: The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the comprehensive plan. The proposed amendment will maintain a transitional buffer of the existing zoning separating Garden Office, from both existing LDR and MDR mapping. Spokane Valley Ordinance No. 06-020 requires that the following factors be addressed as part of the approval of an amendment to the comprehensive plan: A: The effect upon the physical environment: The current Comprehensive Plan lists this site as a single family residence with an approved Home Industry variance. The site will be maintained in slope and design for proposed remodel of the residence and future office space planned for the frontage along Broadway: The site upgrades will improve existing drainage. B: The effect on open space,streams,rivers and lakes: This site does not house any water bodies or significant open space.Any drainage from this site will include approved grassed percolation areas and drywell systems. C: The compatibility with and the impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods; The proposed project will upgrade a unique Spokane Valley structure and will compliment the appropriate development of the remainder of the applicants adjoining parcel and office space. This proposal continues to maintain an adequate buffer between surrounding density areas and enhances appropriate business opportunity within a well defined area in the community. D: The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities,roads, public transportation,parks,recreation and schools. The proposal has adequate utilities,roadway,is close to existing public transportation, and will have no significant impact on parks recreation or schools. The proposal will provide additional tax-based revenues,and will enhance a vibrant business community. E: The benefit to the neighborhood,City, and region; The proposal will provide for new, attractive professional office space that enhances a vibrant city and region. This proposal provides a good,natural transitional buffer to other density areas that include large tract neighborhoods and existing Medium Density areas. The project continues to cluster business development along the existing Garden Office area surrounding the intersection of Broadway and Pines F: The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land. The proposal would increase the available Garden Office designation by 67,752 square feet. The applicants adjoining parcel and the office space available were occupied completely upon completion of the space being constructed. The addition of the adjoining parcel and future office space availability would bring about anticipated occupancy in the same manner, and additional tax-based revenue to the city. This proposal utilizes the demand for new Garden Office spaces and maintains adequate transitional buffers to other density areas that surround the proposal. G: The current and projected population density in the area: and The site has previously housed a single family residence, and a small Home Industry. Future anticipated remodel and office space would have a very slight increase to transient working hour populations of approx 20—30 persons during regular business hours that would be normal for professional office space use. H: The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment will improve the oddly shaped current designation and will bring available compatible land uses together providing for enhanced transition lines and buffers to other surrounding densities.The proposal brings managed growth and business opportunity that compliments the existing Comprehensive plan, and corrects an oddly defined border that splits a current and existing building and the applicant's parcels.

Although Central Valley School District does not see any issues between the proposed plat application and the district's present facilities and properties; it should be noted that the district cannot ensure students within the proposed plat will attend the closest school. Based upon current enrollment growth rates the potential exists to transport students to schools in various areas of the district based upon availability and enrollment at that point in time. The district expects to have room for students from these proposed new homes if they are occupied before Fall 2008. If, however, they will be completed after that time, Central Valley School District asks that the City of Spokane Valley 1) postpone approval in line with provisions of state law (RCW 58.17.110(1&2), the Growth Management Act, Spokane County's Comprehensive Plan and the City of Spokane Valley's Comprehensive Plan, pending availability of additional school facilities, or 2) condition approval on payment by the developer of a per dwelling unit fee equal to the district's eligibility for school impact.fees. Again, thank you for the chance to provide comments to the subject plat application and if there are any questions, please feel free to contact me at 228-5411. Sincerely, 4 Bradley.

COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 17(GENERAL PROVISIONS)OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE Findings: Section 17.80.140 H. (Comprehensive Plan Amendment Approval Criteria) Spokane Valley Municipal Code 1. The City may approve Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide zone map amendments if it fmds that (analysis is italicized): a. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety,welfare, and protection of the environment; The public health, safety, and general welfare will be promoted in accordance with standards established by the state and the City of Spokane Valley's regulations. b. The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted plan not affected by the amendment; The proposed amendment is consistent with the Growth Management Act. Adjacent land use designations are consistent with the proposed amendment. c. The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies; The proposed amendment does not respond to a substantial change in conditions. d. The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error; or The proposed amendment does not correct a mapping error. e. The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment does not address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The City must also consider the following factors prior to approving Comprehensive Plan amendments: a. The effect upon the physical environment; Pursuant to Title 21 (Environmental Controls) of the City of Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code, the lead agency has determined that this proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. Further environmental evaluation may be completed at the time of development. b. The effect on open space, streams,rivers, and lakes; The SEPA checklist states that there is no surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of site. c. The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods; The proposed amendment is contiguous to Office and Low Density Residential Comprehensive Plan designations. The proposed amendment is also located adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods (north and south of CPA-06-08). At the time of development, standards in Title 22 (Design and Development Standards), specifically 22.70(Fencing, Screening, and Landscaping)will reduce impacts on adjacent properties by providing visual separation and physical buffers between land uses. d. The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities,roads,public transportation, parks,recreation, and schools; The City of Spokane Valley addresses adequacy of community facilities on a citywide basis through capital facilities planning. Policy CFP-9.1 of the Comprehensive Plan recommends a concurrency management system for transportation, sewer, and water facilities. The City of Spokane Valley's Parks and Recreation Plan outlines an implementation strategy including a capital facilities plan, which identifies costs and revenue sources for new parks. The proposed amendment will not have an impact on schools considering the request is for an office designation. e. The benefit to the neighborhood,City, and region; The proposed amendment will provide office, light retail and service establishments for the surrounding neighborhood f. The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land; The proposed amendment is approximately 4.82 acres in size and will provide additional office and light retail uses. The potential demand for this type of office development is unknown. g. The current and projected population density in the area; and The proposed amendment will potentially decrease population density. The proposed amendment does not demand population analysis. h. The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will have minimal impact on other aspects of the plan. B. COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 19(ZONING REGULATIONS)OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE Findings: Section 19.60.020 (Garden Office District)Spokane Valley Municipal Code The Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment is from Low Density Residential to Office and corresponding zoning map amendment from Single-family Residential District(R-3)to Garden Office(GO). The Garden Office District is intended primarily for low-rise office development with limited retail or commercial uses. Retail and commercial uses are limited to those that are clearly subordinate to the primary office use or the retail function primarily serves the office uses in close proximity to the retail or commercial use. Garden office uses provide a buffer between residential uses and commercial uses. Conclusion(s): The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment is approximately 4.82 acres in size and will be adjacent to other office uses in the area furthering the transitional characteristics between commercial and lower density single- family residential neighborhoods. CPA-06-08 is consistent with the intention of the Office District. B. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Office(0) classification is intended primarily for low to high rise office development with limited retail or commercial uses. Retail and commercial uses are limited to those that are clearly subordinate to the primary office use,or the retail function primarily serves the office uses in close proximity to the retail or commercial use. Areas designated as Office can serve a variety of functions;they can act as buffers or transition areas between higher intensity land uses and lower intensity land uses.The plan further states,that Spokane Valley has areas of existing quality office development. Staff analysis is italicized. 1. LUG-8 of the Comprehensive Plan encourages appropriate development standards for Office designated areas. Staff Comment: At the time of development, standards in Title 22 (Design and Development Standards), specifically 22.70 (Fencing, Screening, and Landscaping) will reduce impacts on adjacent properties by providing visual separation and physical buffers between land uses. 2. LUP-8.2 of the Comprehensive Plan recommends integrating sidewalks,bike lanes, landscaping,and area lighting in office areas to provide a safe and attractive working environment. Staff Comment: At the time of development, landscaping and lighting will be required for the new office development complying with Title 22 and other applicable regulations. There are existing sidewalks on Broadway Avenue. C. PUBLIC FACILITIES Findings: The property is currently served with public water and sewer. Access is provided from Broadway Avenue (Exhibit 5). D. FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO PUBLIC COMMENTS Findings: Staff has received no public comment concerning the proposal to date. Conclusion(s): Adequate public noticing was conducted for CPA-06-08 in accordance with adopted public noticing procedures. E. FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO AGENCY COMMENTS Findings: Agency comments are related to the physical development of the property. These comments will be addressed at the time of development. Comments are attached as exhibits to the staff report. Conclusion(s): Staff has reviewed comments and no concerns are noted. IV. OVERALL CONCLUSION The proposed Comprehensive Plan designation to Office and change in zoning classification to Garden Office(GO)is consistent with the Comprehensive Plans policies and goals. V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Planning Division after review and consideration of the submitted application and applicable approval criteria recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of CPA-06-08. 9 Exhibit 1: Comprehensive Plan Map B�tsn� .2 Boon--_ Boone .0''-' H 3 a r- w Low Density Residential CPA-06-08 Cataldo \, Cataldo Cataldo ._ S \ )HigliiD"en,_sity iResidentali 3 Rego ,_ % i . .

The proposed change would amend the Comprehensive Plan mapping for 4.82 acres of land near the intersection of Pines and Broadway. 1. REASON This land is surrounded by higher density zoning. To the east there is zoning of Office, MF-2, and Garden Office and immediately to the south is land that is zoned MF-1 The proposed amendment would square off the higher intensity uses in the Pines and University area while at the same time providing a clearly defined border line for a low intensity transition to the surrounding residential area. Such a change would thereby provide for the use of this property as an assisted living facility with additional low intensity medical offices. The population demographics of Spokane Valley show that in future years that there will be an increasing need for assisted living facilities and medical care. This land is one of the few pieces remaining that can provide for both of these needs. The land is situated near the Valley Hospital therefore providing an enhancement to the office and facility needs of this growing industry. With regard to Assisted Living Facilities: They generally require a site location of approximately 2-4 acres. Additionally, it is preferable to locate them in quiet neighborhoods with good access to transportation, and, in order to justify the costs of construction, they need to operate profitable with a census of at least 50 clients. This land is one of the few parcels remaining that can meet these needs. Within the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Spokane Valley, The Garden Office Zone would allow this land to be developed to its fullest potential. 2. MEETING APPROVAL CRITERIA a. The proposed amendment will provide a substantial relationship to the , public health, safety, welfare, and protection of the environment by permitting the most advantageous use for the good of our ageing population with the environmental enhancements of added green space. b. The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of RCW 36.70A and the Cities adopted plan. The Comprehensive Plan section 2.5.4 (Garden Office) states that: "Areas designated as Office can serve a variety of functions. They can stand alone as major employment centers. They can also act as buffers or transition areas between higher intensity land uses and lower intensity land uses. For example, Office areas can provide a transition between industrial or commercial uses and residential areas. Office uses work well for this because they tend to generate less traffic and noise, operate shorter hours and are often smaller in scale then industrial or commercial" The proposed amendment will support this function by providing a transitional area between the higher density uses to the land's south and east and the residential zoning to the north and west of the land. in the Spokane Valley was at 21.35%whereas the vacancy rate for medical office space county wide was just 8.45%. g. The current and projected population density in the area: At a City Council retreat held on February 11, 2006, the City Council directed staff to utilize a 1:89% annual growth rate for purposes of population forecasting. This resulted in a 20 year population forecast of 38,614 persons. This information was presented to the SCEO on February 15, 2006 when the City officially requested a 20 year population allocation of 38,614 for planning purposes. This rise in population will require an increase of essential services over the next 20 years. The proposed amendment will make it possible to better provide for these future needs. h. The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan:The proposed amendment should have no effect on other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan.

The Department of Ecology has reviewed the documents and would like to submit the following comments: Water Resources Program Permit coverage under the Department of Ecology's Industrial Stormwater General Permit is required for industrial facilities that have specific Standard Industrial Classification(SIC)codes and have a discharge of stormwater from their industrial areas to a receiving water of the state, or to storm drains that discharge to a receiving water. Our review of your SEPA checklist indicates that your facility appears to meet the criteria for permit coverage. A booklet describing the permit in more detail and listing industries by SIC code required to obtain permit coverage may be found on the internet at http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/inds_bkl.pdf. Application for the permit should be made at least 38 days prior to commencement of industrial activities. The stormwater permit application form, referred to as a Notice of Intent, can be obtained by calling 360-407- 6437 or on the internet at http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/industrial/index.html. Though a facility may not need a stormwater permit,the operator is still responsible for compliance with other water quality laws and regulations. If you have questions concerning this comment, you may call the Department of Ecology's Lacey office at 360-407-6437 or Dave Duncan at 509-329-3554 at Ecology's Eastern Regional Office. Water Quality Program Proper erosion and sediment control practices must be used on the construction site and adjacent areas to prevent upland sediments from entering surface water.

Although Central Valley School District does not see any issues between the proposed plat application and the district's present facilities and properties; it should be noted that the district cannot ensure students within the proposed plat will attend the closest school.. Based upon current enrollment growth rates the potential exists to transport students to schools.in various areas of the district based upon availability and enrollment at that point in time. The district expects to have room for students from these proposed new homes if they are occupied before Fall 2008. If, however, they will be completed after that time, Central Valley School District asks that the City of Spokane Valley 1) postpone approval in line with provisions of state law (RCW 58.17.110(1&2), the Growth Management Act, Spokane County's Comprehensive Plan and the City of Spokane Valley's Comprehensive Plan, pending availability of additional school facilities, or 2) condition approval on payment by the developer of a per dwelling unit fee equal to the district's eligibility for school impact fees.

CPA-07-08 is consistent with the intention of the Community Commercial District. C. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Community Commercial classification designates areas for retail,service,and office establishments intended to serve several neighborhoods. Community Commercial areas should not be larger than 15-17 acres in size and should be located as business clusters rather than arterial strip commercial development. Staff analysis is italicized. 1. LUG-3 of the Comprehensive Plan encourages transforming various commercial business areas into vital,attractive, easily accessible mixed-use areas that appeal to investors,consumers, and residents and enhance the community image and economic vitality.

It ,9 414Y29,P 1k"tk OFWP • - Comprehensive Plan Amendment Narrative LDR to Community Commercial 2nd to 3rd at Carnahan Reason for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request The subject property is wedged between Community Commercial zoning to the north, Regional Commercial zoning to the east and fronts along 3rd Avenue which is planned to become a high speed frontage road as part of the I-90 adjustments to accommodate the proposed N/S Corridor. It is not suitable for LDR uses. Even the East Central Neighborhood Plan Update prepared by none other than the Urban Planning Department of Eastern Washington University foresaw the need to designate all of the land between Sprague Avenue and I-90 as Major Commercial and that sub-area plan received national awards for its efforts. We believe this to be the highest and best use of the subject property and eventually all of this area in-lieu-of residential. Applicable Approval Criteria A. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety,welfare and protection of the environment; The Proposed amendment is consistent with the existing Community Commercial classification located nearby north of the subject property and adopted by this legislative body as part of the existing comprehensive plan. There is no changed circumstances to indicate any dissimilarity to render this inconsistent. Accordingly, the proposed amendment bears the aforementioned substantial relationship. B. The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of RCW 36.70A and with the portion of the City's plan not affected by the amendment. This proposed amendment is consistent with the current comprehensive plan in that it request one of the existing land use categories. As stated above, this category is located adjacent and north of the subject property. It is therefore consistent with RCW 3670A and is not otherwise inconsistent with the remainder of the plan. C. The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area with which the subject property lies. N/A D. The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error. The current comprehensive plan replaced Light Industrial with Low density Residential, an obvious error to move from one extreme to the other. E. The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the comprehensive plan.N/A Specific factors To be Addressed: A. The effect upon the physical environment; The proposed change is consistent with the land use designation adjacent on the north side of 2nd Avenue. The site is served with all utilities and fronts along 1-90 and the proposed high speed frontage road thus, no impact to the physical environment is anticipated B. The effect on open space, streams rivers and lakes; There is no effect upon these elements of the environment. C. The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods: The area is a mix of major retail, strip t the backcommercial edge of a big box residential. The the location along the 1-90 corridor an impacts if any from this becoming a Community Commercial site. D. The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities,roads, public transportation,parks recreation and schools; The only impact this could have is upon roads. This will be addressed during the Commerc al. project specific review f approved t to community facilities froml the plroposed usee available and there is no imp E. The benefit to the neighborhood, city and region; There is no neighborhood along the edge ofI--90. Previous land use plans had this area designated light industrial and residential uses are not being built in this proximity. The benefit of new retail uses within a Community Commercial District is synergetic and increases the tax revenues for local government services. F. The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and the density and demand for such land; This is a 54000 sf addition to the Community Commercial District of this area and does not significantly change the quantity loss or gain of either category. G. The current and projected population of the area; The population projection for this area is not affected by this change. The site would yield approximately 6 dwelling units. This option is eliminated if the property is changed to retail use. H. The effect upon other aspects of the comprehensive plan. As stated above, the proposed change is the same as what the plan supports along the area along 2nd Avenue frontage adjacent to the subject property. Due to the nature of the change from residential to retail, there s not affect impacts less te upon pblic r aspects ititiesthe,parks and schools. Accordingly, this proposal do comprehensive plan.

Adjacent land use designations are consistent with the proposed amendment. c. The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies; The proposed amendment does not respond to a substantial change in conditions. d. The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error; or The proposed amendment does not correct a mapping error. e. The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment does not address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The City must also consider the following factors prior to approving Comprehensive Plan amendments: a. The effect upon the physical environment; Pursuant to Title 21 (Environmental Controls) of the City of Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code, the lead agency has determined that this proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. Further environmental evaluation may be required at the time of development. b. The effect on open space, streams,rivers, and lakes; The SEPA checklist states that there is no surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of site. c. The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods; The proposed amendment is contiguous to an Office Comprehensive Plan designation. The proposed amendment is also located adjacent to an existing residential neighborhood(south of CPA-08-08). At the time of development, standards in Title 22 (Design and Development Standards), specifically 22.70 (Fencing, Screening, and Landscaping)will reduce impacts on adjacent properties by providing visual separation and physical buffers between land uses. d. The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities,roads,public transportation, parks,recreation, and schools; The City of Spokane Valley addresses adequacy of community facilities on a citywide basis through capital facilities planning. Policy CFP-9.1 of the Comprehensive Plan recommends a concurrency management system for transportation, sewer, and water facilities. The City of Spokane Valley's Parks and Recreation Plan outlines an implementation strategy including a capital facilities plan, which identifies costs and revenue sources for new parks. The proposed amendment will not have an impact on schools considering the request is for an office designation. e. The benefit to the neighborhood, City,and region; The proposed amendment will provide office establishments for the surrounding neighborhood These uses may include medical and dental facilities, educational services, insurance, real estate,financial institutions, design firms, and legal services. f. The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land; The proposed amendment is approximately 1.56 acres in size and will provide additional office and light retail uses. The potential demand for this type of office development is unknown. g. The current and projected population density in the area; and The proposed amendment will potentially decrease population density. The proposed amendment does not demand population analysis. h. The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will have minimal impact or other aspects of the plan. B. COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 19(ZONING REGULATIONS)OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE Findings: Section 19.60.050(Office District) Spokane Valley Municipal Code The Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment is from Low Density Residential to Office and corresponding zoning map amendment from Single-family Residential District(R-3)to Office(0). The Office designation is intended primarily for medium-to high-rise office development with limited retail or commercial uses. Retail and commercial uses are limited to those that are clearly subordinate to the primary office use or the retail function primarily serves the office uses in close proximity to the retail or commercial use. Primary uses including medical and dental facilities, educational services, insurance, real estate, financial institutions, design firms, and legal services are representative of the office district. Office uses can act as buffers or transition areas between higher intensity land uses and lower intensity land uses. Conclusion(s): The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment is contiguous to other office uses and multi-family development. The office will provide a transition between the medium density residential use and single-family residences located south of the site. Office uses work well for this because they tend to generate less traffic and noise, and operate shorter hours. CPA-08-08 is consistent with the intention of the Office District. C. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive plan states that the Office designation is intended primarily for medium-to high-rise office development with limited retail or commercial uses. The plan further states,that Spokane Valley has areas of existing quality office development. Several developments within the Argonne/Mullan Couplet,Pines Road,and Evergreen Road corridors embody good design and are representative of desired future office development. Office development on Sullivan Road will provide new job opportunities within the community. Staff analysis is italicized. 1. LUG-8 of the Comprehensive Plan encourages appropriate development standards for Office designated areas. Staff Comment: At the time of development, standards in Title 22 (Design and Development Standards), specifically 22.70 (Fencing, Screening, and Landscaping) will reduce impacts on adjacent properties by providing visual separation and physical buffers between land uses. 2. LUP-8.2 of the Comprehensive Plan recommends integrating sidewalks,bike lanes,landscaping,and area lighting in office areas to provide a safe and attractive working environment. Staff Comment: At the time of development, landscaping and lighting will be required for the new office development complying with Title 22 and other applicable regulations. There are existing sidewalks on Sullivan Road The Bike and Pedestrian System map in the Comprehensive Plan proposes bike lanes for Sullivan Road D. PUBLIC FACILITIES Findings: The property is currently served with public water and sewer. Access is provided from 3rd Avenue designated a Minor Arterial in the Arterial Street Plan(Exhibit 5). E. FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO PUBLIC COMMENTS Findings: Staff has received no public comment concerning the proposal to date. Conclusion(s): Adequate public noticing was conducted for CPA-08-08 in accordance with adopted public noticing procedures. F. FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO AGENCY COMMENTS Findings: Agency comments relate to the physical development of the property. These comments will be addressed at the time of development.

Sullivan Rd. LDR to Office The North 141.21 ft. of Tract 141 Vera. Together with the S. 1/2 of 6th Avenue vacated ling adjacent thereto. Except the west 5 acres Except any dedications for Sullivan Rd. Consisting of 45,112 sf ( 1 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Narrative LLDR to Office at 604 S. Sullivan Rd. Reason for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request The subject property fronts Sullivan Road and is in close proximity to other office, retail and multi-family uses. Central Valley High School facilities are directly across the street and the Sullivan frontage parcels are no longer being developed as LDR projects. This property should enjoy the same rights and privileges of other nearby office sites. The application meets the applicable and specific criteria as described below. Applicable Approval Criteria A. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, welfare and protection of the environment; The Proposed amendment is consistent with the existing Office classification located nearby north of the subject property along Sullivan Rd. and adopted by this legislative body as part of the existing comprehensive plan. There is no changed circumstances to indicate any dissimilarity to render this inconsistent. Accordingly, the proposed amendment bears the aforementioned substantial relationship. B. The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of RCW 36.70A and with the portion of the City's plan not affected by the amendment. This proposed amendment is consistent with the current comprehensive plan in that it request one of the existing land use categories. As stated above, this Office category is located nearly adjacent and north of the subject property. It is therefore consistent with RCW 3670A and is not otherwise inconsistent with the remainder of the comprehensive plan. C. The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area with which the subject property lies. N/A D. The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error. The subject property contains a very dilapidated structure that is being demolished. Apparently, the planners or Planning Commission felt that the existence of a single- family residence warranted a zone consistent with the use rather than the trend for the area. This corrects an obvious error. E. The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the comprehensive plan.N/A And he specific criteria of Ordinance No. 06-020 as follows: Specific factors To be Addressed: A. The effect upon the physical environment; The proposed change to office use from low density residential is consistent with the nearby land use pattern of office uses fronting Sullivan. Adequate infrastructure of roads and utility servicesexist as evident by the service to the same uses of the area and the construction of the medium density apartments adjacent to the site. The subject property fronts on a major arterial and does not have a significant effect upon the environment if approved for office use. B. The effect on open space, streams rivers and lakes; There is no effect upon these less bulk and mass, thus preservingsome s of the officely, an degree in-lieu-of more apartments produces of open space light and air. C. The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods: First of all, this is not a suitable location for low-density residential and the indication is that higher density apartments and/or offices are replacing the previous residential uses, especially in proximity to the arterials. The subject property fronts along Sullivan Rd. and therefore does not have to rely upon access through the surrounding neighborhood streets whereas a residential use would plug into that street system. When choosing between apartments and office use as a neighboring land use to residential low-density, ti is better to have office than apartments due to the off-setting hours of activity. The offices are occupied while the residents are at work and vice versa. For similar reasons, the traffic impacts are off-setting, the employees come and go while the resident neighbors are away. In contrast, an apartment use compounds the impacts of residency and traffic to an existing residential area. Finally, the zoning performance standards can buffer the office better then an apartment project due to the lifestyle differences between office and residential uses. D. The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities,roads, public transportation,parks recreation and schools; An Office use cannot and does not have impactshe facility use does due to the off-setting hours of and the lack of demand for public fac r�, services. E. The benefit to the neighborhood, city and region; The present use has been eliminated and will not be replaced with another residence due to the surrounding land use, noise and proximity to other non-residential uses. Accordingly, the city will of benefit from the highest and best use of the property and corresponding tax base until such use eal estate assessments and the public iwill enjoy the ty will enjoy the revenues from the business an convenience of services and businesses close to home. F. The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and the density and demand for such land; The location is already demonstrating compatibility for office use and this adds one acre of land area to the city-wide inventory of available office land. Due to the various mixed use possibilities for office uses, it is not possible to quantify the need for additional office space against the potential availability of the same. However, it is possible to determine the most compatible use of this site given the location, configuration and surrounding land use pattern and office use would be the highest and best use and most compatible fit to the surrounding land use pattern. G. The current and projected population of the area; The population projection for this area is not affected by this change. The site would yield approximately 4 dwelling units after platting and dedications of roads. This option is eliminated if the property is changed to office use. H. The effect upon other aspects of the comprehensive plan. As stated above, the proposed change is the same as what the plan supports along the Sullivan frontage almost adjacent to the subject property. Due to the nature of the change from residential to office, there is less impacts upon public facilities,parks nd schools. Accordingly, this proposal does not affect the other aspects of the comprehensive plan.
