Mr. Stoy stated that after discussions with staff that they had been directed to use this zoning.

John Hamersky, 623 N Marguerite: Mr. Hamersky stated that the traffic in his neighborhood keeps increasing and now you want to put a 45 foot building, with more sirens, more speeders, and more people who don't care. Mr. Hamersky stated it is people with money who don't care. He also said we don't need the development, with the schools and the parks and the kids — the kids are on skateboards, the kids are on bikes— it is wrong. Kevin Pereira, 8821 E Valleyway: Mr. Pereira stated that there was not any commercial property along Marguerite from Broadway to Valleyway and he is concerned that if this is allowed that commercial will continue to encroach into the neighborhood farther and farther.

He stated he was trying to create a buffer between the commercial and the residential properties. Mr. Stoy stated that the property to the south of his (that belongs to the school) is mostly paved. Mr. Stoy stated that he would direct traffic toward Argonne but could not force people to go that direction, however the age of the residents would cut down on the traffic. Kevin Pereira, 8821 E. Valleyway: Mr. Pereira stated that the school property is only half paved and the rest was a baseball diamond. John Hamersky, 623 N Marguerite: Mr. Hamersky stated he was concerned that if this development is allowed that it will raise or lower my property values.

Commissioner Sands had a question regarding access to Cataldo to the north, which was answered that they would not be using Cataldo for access. Tom Watson, 120 E. Nora: Mr. Watson stated he represents the next parcel over and that he thought that there had been concern in the past regarding traffic if there were going to be to high density uses on the properties.

Dwight Hume, 9101 N. Mt.

The only exception to this is in the instance of the corner of Plaza Drive at Sprague Avenue, in which case both Sprague Avenue and Plaza Drive shall be classified as Front Streets. iii) On corner properties along multiple Other Streets, any street along which as building's primary entrance is located shall be classified as a Front Street. The remaining streets shall be Side Streets. Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—Building Height June 5,2008 I 2.2.3. Building Height Building Height is defined, for the purposes of this Plan, as the vertical extent of a building. Height for buildings is regulated by both the number of floors permitted, and by total feet permitted. New structures must meet the minimum and maximum for both floor and dimension requirements. The number of floors shall include all floors located above the average finished grade, and shall not include portions of the building substantially submerged or partly submerged below grade such as basements or podiums. Height shall be measured from the average finished grade to the top of cornice,parapet, or cave line of a peaked roof. Height for buildings with mansard roofs maybe measured from average finished grade to the top of the mansard roof ridge line (see Section 2.5.4. Architectural Elements for regulations governing roof design). Permitted minimum and maximum heights shall be as determined in Section 2.1.District Zones Regulations. Habitable-at Portions of a building that are not part of the primary building mass, such as entrance porticos,bays and stoops, are not required to meet minimum height requirements. Parking podiums are not required to meet minimum height requirements. Portions of the building that extend above the primary building mass, such as dormers,roof-top cupolas, elevator and mechanical equipment enclosures,roof deck trellises, gazebos, and other special features, shall not exceed the maximum height requirement by more than 10 feet. Accessory buildings, including non-dwelling units such as freestanding garages for individual residential units, service structures and . tool sheds, shall not exceed one and one-half stories or 14 feet. Corner Entry Private Frontages (see Section 2.2.6.) shall not exceed the permitted maximum height by more than 20 feet.

Public Frontage Ilr�nil�n°��tc�tlne,Ra s (ail proposed changes from Ian Addendum) 1) Definition Public Frontage is the area between the thoroughfare curb face and the back of sidewalk line, including the sidewalk and any sidewalk landscape areas as shown inFig.2.2.5.Public Frontage. All parcels along Sprague Avenue and Appleway Boulevard are required to contribute to Public Frontage improvements. Where Public Frontage improvements are required,the exact location of the back of sidewalk shall be based on the street configurations described in Section 3.3.Streetscape Improvements and may or may not coincide with the existing front property line. When approved streetscape plans are drafted,those plans shall be used as a baseline to determine the back of sidewalk location with approval of the Community Development Director/Designee. Required Public Frontage improvements must be coordinated with Private Frontage/Front Street Setback area treatments and, in many cases,may necessitate the provision of additional sidewalk width on private property. As development occurs, property owners shall contribute Public Frontage improvements either through construction of the public frontage or an in-lieu fee. Typical Public Frontage requirements for each District Zone are described below. Actual requirements shall be determined on a case by case basis by the Community Development Director/Designee. See Book III for more information about staged implementation of street network and streetscape improvements along Sprague Avenue and Appleway Boulevard. 2) Sprague Avenue Public Frontage contributions and Private Frontage/Front Street Setback area treatments shall be coordinated with street improvements as follows: a) City Center District Zone: i) North Properties: The future curb and back of sidewalk will correspond approximately to the existing curb and back of sidewalk. (1) Prior to Streetscape Improvements: . •- •• - • • - •• .e-r- ir•�l-Public Frontage shall be - constructed by developers as development occurs and Private Frontage/Front Setback Area treatments shall be built to the existing back of sidewalk. (2) Following Streetscape Improvements: an in-lieu fee shall be required to cover improvements as constructed. Page 1 of 7 Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—Public Frontage June 5,2008 ii) South Properties: The future curb will be relocated and the future back of sidewalk will be located approximately 10 feet south of the existing right-of-way. (1) Prior to Streetscape Improvements: an in-lieu fee for future improvements shall be required, Private Frontage/Front Setback Area treatments shall be built to the future back of sidewalk, and temporary sidewalk improvements shall be built between the existing back of sidewalk and the future back of sidewalk. (a) For large developments, the entire public frontage may be required to be built as development occurs (to be determined by the Community Development Director/Designee).

Maximum building length shall be as specified in Section 2.1.District Zones Regulations. Buildings shall not exceed this maximum length. A developer may build multiple buildings, each with an individual length that does not exceed the maximum building length. Exceptions to maximum building length may be granted by the Community Development Director for senior housing projects. Senior housing projects may include independent, assisted living and nursing home units. The buildings must be designed in a way that conforms to the overall intent of the District zone in which it is proposed for construction. For example, sections of the building within the setback area may not be longer than the maximum building length, as shown in Figure ?

Alleys and passages are considered part of a parcel's area when calculating parcel size. New alleys and passages do not satisfy street provision requirements. All other street right-of-ways and public open spaces are not considered part of a parcel's area when calculating parcel size. The maximum parcel size shall be as specified in Section 2.1.District Zones Regulations. Maximum parcel size regulations are applied to all parcels larger than the maximum parcel size as determined by the parcel configuration shown in the Fig 2.1. District Zones Map adopted as part of this Plan. a) Where a pre-located street(s) is not required Any development proposed on a single parcel or assembled parcel larger than the maximum parcel size must provide a new street(s) and/or open space(s) b) Where a pre-located street(s) is required Any development proposed on a single parcel or assembled parcel larger than the maximum parcel size after providing the pre-located street(s) must provide a new street(s) and/or open space(s) Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—Street&Open Space Guidelines June 12,2008 2.3.3. Open Space Guidelines 1) Public Spaces i) Public spaces should provide a variety of seating options,areas of sun and shade for year-round climatic comfort, shelter,and night lighting to encourage public activity and ensure safety. ii) Public spaces should be visible from public streets and side walks. 2) Walls and Fences a)Frontage Fences and Walls i) Front yard fences should employ a combination of thick and thin structural elements with thicker elements for supports and/or panel divisions. Fence posts and/or support columns should be defined using additional trim,caps, finials,and/or moldings. ii) All walls should have a cap and base treatment. iii) Frontage walls may occur as garden walls,planter walls,seat walls,or low retaining walls. iv) Entrances and pedestrian"gateways"should be announced by posts or pilasters,and may be combined with trellises,special landscaping, decorative lighting,public art or other special features. v) Frontage walls and fences must be located outside intersection clear view triangles. b)Screening Fences and Walls i) Side yards-defined as the portion of side setback areas behind the front setback area-and rear yards may contain landscape features that protect the privacy of the property's occupants such as landscaping,trees and screening walls. Screening walls may not exceed a height of five feet,and must be constructed of materials that are compatible with the architecture and character of the site. Natural colors,a cap or top articulation,and related dimensional post spacing increments should be used at screening fences to enhance compatibility. ii) Design elements should be used to break up long expanses of uninterrupted walls,both horizontally and vertically. Walls should include design elements such as textured concrete block,interlocking"diamond"blocks,formed concrete with reveals, or similar materials. Landscape materials should also be used to provide surface relief. c)Security Fences i) Use of security fences should be minimized,and limited to special locations where additional security is necessary, such as adjacent to the railroad tracks. Such security fences should not exceed 8 feet in height. Page 1 of 7 Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—Street&Open Space Guidelines June 12,2008 ii) Security fences should be designed to maintain a visually open character to the extent possible. This may be accomplished by using metal picket or open grille fencing or by mounting metal picket or open grille fencing on top of a low masonry wall. iii)Barbed and razor wire topped fences are prohibited. d)Piers i) Piers are architectural elements of fences or walls that can add interest to and break up long expanses. ii) Piers are recommended to have a base,shaft and cap composition. Larger piers may be specially designed for gateway or other special locations,and these may incorporate ornamental plaques or signs identifying the building or business;public art such as panels or sculptural elements;and/or light fixtures. Piers may be topped by ornamental finials,light fixtures,or roof caps. iii) Recommended dimensions for masonry piers are approximately 18 inches per side or diameter,and the maximum spacing between piers should be 20 feet. Metal posts should be a minimum of 4 inches per side or diameter. e)Materials and Colors i) All fences and walls should be built with attractive, durable materials that are compatible with the character of Spokane Valley(see Section 2.5). ii) Appropriate fence materials include wood,masonry, and metal. (1) Wood picket fences are only recommended along residential streets. For wood picket fences,a paint finish or vinyl coating should be applied. (2) For iron or metal fences,recommended materials include wrought iron, cast iron,welded steel,tubular steel,or aluminum. Metal fences should be mounted on a low masonry wall,and/or between masonry piers. iii) Appropriate wall materials include stone,brick,precast concrete,textured concrete block,or formed concrete with reveals.A stucco finish may be used over a masonry core. (1) Exposed block walls should be constructed with a combination of varied height block courses and/or varied block face colors and textures(e.g. a combination of split-face and precision-face blocks). Plain gray precision-face concrete block walls are not recommended.Design treatments and finishes previously described should be applied to these walls for improved visual compatibility with building architecture. (2) An anti-graffiti coating is recommended for exposed masonry wall surfaces. iv) Piers and posts should be constructed of the same or a compatible material as the principal building(s). Page 2 of 7 Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—Street&Open Space Guidelines June 12,2008 v) Support post or pier materials may differ from fence materials;e.g.metal fence panels combined with masonry piers. Recommended materials include brick,terra cotta, and stone, colored or decoratively treated cast-in-place concrete,precast concrete or concrete block, or stucco-faced concrete or concrete block. vi) Bollards are recommended to be cast iron,cast aluminum, and precast concrete. An anti-graffiti protective coating is recommended for precast concrete. vii)Colors and finishes of mechanical enclosures and equipment should be coordinated with colors and finishes of streetlights,fencing and other painted metal surfaces to be used on site,or with the associated building's material and color scheme viii) Street and building-mounted metal furnishings should be powder coated or painted with Waterborne Acrylic Polyurethane, such as Tnemec Series 1080 or similar product. For powder coated finishes,a chemically compatible UV-protectant clear coat is recommended for prevention of color fading. 3) Site Furnishings i) Public gathering places and other publicly accessible areas should be detailed with decorative,pedestrian-scaled site furnishings and equipment. ii) Seating,freestanding planters,ornamental trash and recycling receptacles,bike racks,drinking fountains,pergolas, trellises,heaters,umbrellas,wind screening,and decorative bollards are recommended. (1) When designing seat walls with straight edges of more than 6 feet in length,consider how detailing can prevent skateboard damage. iii) Landscape structures and sculptural objects should reference the human scale in their overall massing and detailing. iv) Components should be made of durable high quality materials such as painted fabricated steel,painted cast iron, painted cast aluminum,and integrally colored precast concrete. Recycled materials should be used so long as the finish or look of the material is consistent with or similar to the finishes prescribed above. Masonry surfaces should be treated with an anti-graffiti coating. Metal surfaces should be coated with highly durable finishes such as aliphatic polyurethane enamel. An ultraviolet protectant clear coating is strongly recommended for dark or fugitive colors. 4) Plant Materials i) Plant materials should always be incorporated into new development site design to provide"softening"of hard paving and building surfaces. ii) Mature,existing trees should be preserved whenever possible. Page 3 of 7 Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—Street&Open Space Guidelines June 12,2008 iii) Tree sizes should be suitable to lot size,the scale of adjacent structures,and the proximity to utility lines. iv) The use of structural soil planting beds for street trees within paved areas is strongly recommended in order to maximize the ability of the tree to thrive and perform well in the urban environment. v) Both seasonal and year-round flowering shrubs and trees should be used where they can be most appreciated- adjacent to walks and recreational areas,or as a frame for building entrances and stairs. vi) In general, deciduous trees with open branching structures are recommended to ensure visibility to retail establishments. More substantial shade trees are recommended in front of private residences. vii)Evergreen shrubs and trees should be used for screening along rear property lines,around trash/recycling areas and mechanical equipment,and to obscure grillwork and fencing associated with subsurface parking garages.However, screening should also be designed to maintain clear views for safety. 5)Lighting a)Design i) Lighting fixtures should generally be directed downward from the horizontal plane of the light source to preserve a dark sky and prevent unnecessary light pollution. Exceptions may be made for up lit trees and architectural lighting. ii) Pedestrian-oriented areas, including walkways and paths,plazas,parking lots,and parking structures shall be illuminated to increase safety and provide clear views both to and within the site. iii) All on-site and building-mounted lighting fixture design should be architecturally compatible with building design and with the character of the corridor. iv) Unnecessary glare from unshielded or undiffused light sources should be avoided.Commercial buildings and landscaping can be illuminated indirectly by concealing light features within buildings and landscaping to highlight attractive features and avoid intrusion into neighboring properties. b)Material and Color i) Color and finish of lighting metalwork should match that of other site furnishings, and/or of the building's metalwork or trim work. ii) A chemically compatible UV-protectant clear coat over paint or powder coat on metalwork is recommended for prevention of fading of dark or fugitive colors. Page 4 of 7 Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—Street&Open Space Guidelines June 12,2008 iii) Color of lighting source types: in pedestrian-intensive areas,warm white,energy efficient source types(with color temperatures specified as 2700 degrees Kelvin to 3200 degrees Kelvin)such as metal halide;induction lighting, compact fluorescent,and light-emitting diode(LED)are strongly encouraged. c) Luminaire Types i) New area lighting fixtures shall be of the cutoff type to prevent light from being emitted above a horizontal line relative to the point of light source. ii) New fixtures should use a reflector and/or a refractor system for efficient distribution of light and reduction of glare. iii) New fixtures should not cause glare or transmit it to upper stories of buildings.House-side shields and internal reflector caps should be used to block light from illuminating residential windows. iv) Small decorative"glow"elements within a luminaire are permitted to emit a low amount of light above the horizontal. d) Height i) For building-mounted lights,maximum mounting height should be approximately 12 feet above finished grade. ii) For pole-mounted lighting at pedestrian plazas,walkways,and entry areas,a pedestrian-height fixture 10 to 14 feet in height from grade to light source should be used. iii) Bollard mounted lighting and stair lighting are also recommended for low-level illumination of walkways and landscaped areas. iv) Bollard illumination should be shielded or kept at a sufficiently low level to prevent glare impacts for passing motorists. v) In general,height of light sources should be kept low to maintain pedestrian scale and prevent spill light from impacting adjacent properties. e) Uplighting i) Building facade uplighting,roof"wash"lighting,and landscape uplighting should be operated on timers that turn off illumination entirely after midnight nightly. ii) Shielding and careful placement should be used to prevent spill light from being visible to pedestrians,motorists, and nearby residential dwelling windows. iii) Adjacent to single family homes,a combination of lower mounting height and luminaire shields should be used to protect residences from spill-light and glare. Page 5 of 7 Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—Street& Open Space Guidelines June 12,2008 iv) Illumination levels of facade uplighting,roof wash lighting and landscape uplighting should use lower brightness levels where the illuminated facades,roofs or landscaping face residential buildings,except across wider streets or boulevards with landscaped medians and street trees. 6) Sustainability a) Materials i) Use local and recycled building materials whenever possible. b) Paved Areas Deleted:i).The grading of all paved areas and adjacent non-paved areas,the ii) Paved areas shall incorporate best management practices to control stormwater as outlined in the National Pollution selection of paving materials,and the design of drainage facilities should Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)Guidelines. consider paving permeability and be configured to allow water run-off top. percolate back into native soil to the CURB `f' , BACK OF degree possible. r ^ { SIDEWALK Formatted:Indent:Left: 0",First line: 0" ccest PLANTER \/ INLET 111 ml I I k2�k- 1—I-6'� min.

Unless otherwise noted, a sign permit is required for all types listed in this section. 7) Sign Area Calculation: unless otherwise noted, sign areas for single and multiple-sided signs shall be calculated as described in the City of Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code Sign Regulations Section 22.110.100, items 2, 3 and 4. 8) Sign Area—Typical Maximum Permitted: unless otherwise noted, maximum sign areas for all building-mounted signs shall be determined as follows. For each establishment, one and one-half(1 '/2) square feet of total sign area shall be allowed for each lineal foot of street frontage of the building and on-site parking lot frontage of the building. This standard shall be known hereafter as the Lineal Frontage Ratio. Unless otherwise noted, all signs (including temporary signs) shall count toward the total sign area permitted based on the Lineal Frontage Ratio. For multi-tenant buildings, each establishment shall be calculated individually. Each facade shall be calculated individually and permitted sign area based on the linear frontage of one establishment or façade shall not be placed on another establishment or facade. 9) Signs shall not display animation unless otherwise noted, except standard barber poles and time and temperature signs. Page2of36 Planning Commission Deliberatums Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—General Signage Regulations June 12,2008 10)Electronic readerboard signs shall not be permitted, except as a permitted time and temperature sign, as part of a permitted marquee sign, or as an indoor sign contained within a cinema or theatrical box(ticket) office. 11) Commercial messages which identify, advertise, or attract attention to a business,product, service, or event or activity sold, existing, or offered elsewhere than upon the same property where the sign is displayed are expressly prohibited. 12)All issues not specifically addressed herein shall be addressed pursuant to the City of Spokane Valley Uniform Development CodcMunicipal Code, Title 22.110 Sign Regulations. 13)In the event of a conflict between this Section and any other City code,the provisions of this Section shall apply. 14)Monument and freestanding signs shall not obscure any fire fighting appliance, including but not limited to fire hydrants, fire connections, etc. 15) Signs shall not obstruct the Clear View Triangle or points of ingress/egress. 3) Guidelines 1) In general,natural construction materials such as wood,metals, ceramic, glass, and stone should be used for visible components of signs. Synthetic materials should only be used if they are designed to be indistinguishable from the recommended natural materials, or if they have a secondary or minor visual presence. Large plastic panels arc strongly discouragedi Materials subject to yellowing from light exposure or age such as polycarbonate should not be used. 2) Internally illuminated"can" signs consisting of rectangular enclosures with large translucent plastic sign faces should not be used. If used, one of the following treatments should be applied: (a)A sheet metal or opaque sign surface with letters cut out so that only letter shapes or outlines are illuminated from within by translucent surfaces; (b) Or, a color scheme of translucent panels with dark colored background with light colored letters. 3) Recommended exposed and non-exposed illumination(light source)types include incandescent, halogen,neon, warm-white encapsulated compact fluorescent,warm-white encapsulated induction lamps, and LED light sources. Exposed spiral-tube compact fluorescent, fluorescent tube,metal halide, and cold-cathode light sources should only be used for non-exposed illumination, i.e. where lamps are shielded from view. High pressure sodium and low pressure sodium light sources are not recommended due to their color. The use of energy-efficient illumination sources is encouraged. 4) For legibility, contrasting colors should be used for the color of the background and the color of the letters or symbols. Light letters on a dark background or dark letters on a light background are most legible. 5) Colors or color combinations that interfere with the legibility of the sign copy should be avoided. Too many colors can confuse the message of a sign. Page 3 of 36 Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—General Signage Regulations June 12,2008 6) Fluorescent colors should not be used as predominant colors in permanent signs or on their structural supports (except as required for municipal traffic and public safety signs). When fluorescent colors are used as part of temporary signage,they should be limited to ten(10) square feet of sign area per façade per establishment. 7) Sign design, including color, should be appropriate to the establishment, conveying a sense of what type of business is being advertised. 8) The location of all permanent signs should be incorporated into the architectural design and composition of the building. Placement of signs should be considered an integral part of the overall façade design. Locations should be carefully composed and align with major architectural features. 9) Storefront signage should help create architectural variety from establishment to establishment. In multi-tenant buildings, signage should be used to create interest and variety. 10)All signs (including temporary signs) should present a neat and aligned appearance. 11) All signs (including temporary signs) should be constructed and installed utilizing the services of a professional sign fabricator. • Alum ti 115 f-• MOP 17c r r.: 1 19 FIG.2.1.DISTRICT ZONES MAP Page4of36 Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan–General Signage Regulations June 12,2008 2.6 SIGNAGE REGULATIONS ,,, ,}ems ` `a `7.hs �'^ 2.1.1 City Center 2.1.5 2.1.6 2.1.2 2.1.3 2.1.4 Gateway Gateway 2.1 District Zones Core Non-Core Neighborho Mixed-Use Residential Commerci Commerci Streets Streets od Center Avenue Boulevard al Avenue al Centers 1 -Grand Projecting Sign permitted --- permitted -- -- -- permitted 2-Marquee Signs permitted permitted permitted permitted --- --- permitted restr-isted 3 -Wall Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted permitted permitted permitted 4-Roof Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted --- permitted permitted 5 -Monument Sign --- permitted _ permitted permitted — permitted permitted 6 -Freestanding Sign --- --- --- permitted --- permitted permitted 7 -Portable Menu Sign permitted permitted permitted -- --- -- 8 -Blade Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted 9 -Projecting Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted 10 -Awning Face Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted 11-Awning Valance Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted 12 -Awning Side Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted 13 -Above Awning Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted 14-Under Awning Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted 15 -Canopy Fascia Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted 16 -Above Canopy Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted 17 -Under Canopy Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted 'l-B—Cafd--Umbrella-Sigo permitted permitted permitted permitted --- permitted permitted 19 -Recessed Entry Sign permitted permitted permitted _ permitted restricted permitted permitted 20 -Window Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted 21 -Time and Temperature Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted -- permitted permitted 22 -Building Identification Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted permitted permitted permitted 23 -Building Identification Wall Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted permitted permitted permitted 24- Building Identification Window Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted permitted permitted permitted 25---Storefront Operation-1.Niridow-Sign permitted permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted 256-Temporary Window-Sign Signs permitted permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted a7 T-emiporory Woll-Sign permitted _ permitted permitted permitted restricted permitted permitted Page 5 of 36 Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—General Signage Regulations June 12,2008 2.6.2 Sign Type Regulations A property's permitted sign types are determined by its District Zone as shown on the Figure 2.6 Signage Regulations Chart.

STREET NETWORK IMPROVEMENTS The City intends to implement phased street network improvements that will balance automobile,transit,bike,and pedestrian needs. These improvements are intended to maximize ways of reaching and moving through the corridor and maintain the circulation system's capacity to move commuters during peak hours in a configuration that complements the envisioned land use and development pattern. 1) The street network today At the time of Plan adoption,Sprague Avenue and Appleway Boulevard function as a one-way couplet from Interstate 90 east to University Road,where Appleway Boulevard ends and traffic continuing east must turn to the north to reach Sprague Avenue,which resumes as a two-way street east of University. At Plan's the inception,this configuration adequately accommodates traffic volumes without major intersection failure. x 1 sti cm., w. -- is tI "ti CENTER !> k n imw: I --): t -4.-- i 2) The future street network Traffic analyses conducted as part of the Subarea Plan(see Analysis of Circulation Alternatives for the Sprague-Appleway Corridor prepared by Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin,Inc. in Appendix D,separately bound)demonstrated that expected city and regional growth will ultimately result in unacceptable levels of congestion. To accommodate this growth,the street network will need to be strategically modified over time. In the final configuration of this network, Sprague Avenue will function as a 5 lane,two-way street from I-90 to beyond Sullivan Avenue.Appleway Boulevard will function as a 4 lane two-way street between 1-90 and University Road. East of Dishman Mica,Appleway Boulevard will convert to a 3 lane two-way street extending to Sullivan Avenue. Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—Street Network Improvements June 12,2008 3.2.1. Staging the Street Network Improvements Public and private investment in street network improvements will be staged(along with streetscape improvements)over time,as resources allow,and as traffic needs require in order to establish a street network configuration that supports new development along the corridors and growth in the region. Street network improvements will be staged and installed throughout the plan area as shown on the Fig.3.2.1. Streetscape Network Staging diagrams and described below. 1) Stage 1: Establish the Transportation Framework and Enable the City Center Sprague Avenue is poised to become Spokane Valley's Main Street and indeed is one of the primary streets of the proposed City Center. However,its present state limits it from supporting a strong activity center.Its roadway design prioritizes speed and through movement. In order to enable the City Center the City will reclaim Sprague Avenue to better function as an urban retail street;as this reclamation happens,Appleway Boulevard must be extended and configured to two-way traffic to complement Sprague Avenue and enhance the overall capacity of the street network. a)Principal Action Steps in Implementing this Stage i) Convert Sprague Avenue to two-way traffic from University Road west to Argonne. This conversion will initially involve converting two of the westbound travel lanes to eastbound travel and another of the westbound lanes to shared center turn lane. ,ii)Convert Appleway Boulevard to two-way traffic from Dishman-Mica Road east to University Road. - Deleted:ii) Reduce the width of Sprague Avenue from seven lanes to five 1 % 1 2 . lanes from University east to Bowdish :-_ - - .. c Road.(An Access Lane,Sidewalks and - ,;- -- sforw.e.o landscaping would be increased along thesee ra Avenue-from it 'Z', iz =s1,- w( - [ Walnut toBowdish)¶� n� r r• Deleted:iv)Construct an extended r Appleway Boulevard as a three-lane, . 3 two-way roadway from University east to Y Evergreen Road.¶ 1 z us —0- r Z^ Q Z- ,a 1 w I— �,( r M Z:', z� O �2 0` TOWN it TQ�• z z- Z, 1 W CENTER ct sT..Z m cc 1 ilj APPLEWAY 4'tan es one=V%, 3lanes,two-way i I ""*" --)0° I: 1 ‘ Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—Street Network Improvements June 12,2008 2) Stage 2: Strengthen the City Center.and Extend the Network Formatted:Highlight ) In order to further enable the City Center the City will continue to reclaim Sprague Avenue to better function as an urban retail street;' Formatted:Indent:Left: 0°,First as this reclamation happens,Appleway Boulevard must be extended and configured to two-way traffic to complement Sprague line: 0" Avenue and enhance the overall capacity of the street network (Formatted:Font:12 pt,Not Bold ) '`I)Principal Action Stens in Implementing this Stage - [Deleted:¶ ) i) Extend Appleway from University to Evergreen.

In this second stage,the two-way conversion of Sprague Avenue will continue westward to Interstate 90,re-establishing Sprague Avenue as a fully two-way street and allowing streetscape enhancements to extend to the Gateway Commercial District. a)Principal Action Steps in Implementing this Stage i) Convert Sprague Avenue to two-way operations with a five-lane section from Argonne Road west to Interstate 90. As funding becomes available install streetscape improvements. ii) Extend the Interstate 90 eastbound off-ramp to intersect with Sprague Avenue, allowing full access to the newly- opened eastbound capacity on this street and providing direct access to the City Center. iii)Convert Appleway Boulevard to two-way operations from Dishman-Mica Road west to Thierman Street,preserving two eastbound through lanes to accommodate eastbound traffic through to Dishman-Mica Road.

West of Thierman,a roundabout will accommodate crossing traffic from the eastbound Interstate Planning Commission Deliberations Sprague/Appleway Subarea Plan—Street Network Improve'bents June 12,2008 90 off-ramp and the westbound Appleway Boulevard traffic moving toward the Interstate 90 onramp without compromising traffic flow from either direction. Depending on future travel demand and available resources, streetscape improvements will be considered to support new development along Appleway Boulevard between Thierman and Dishman-Mica. a)Principal Action Steps in Implementing this Stage i) Construct a roundabout with a two-lane circulating roadway to balance the expected higher volumes entering the roundabout from the I-90 off-ramp.The roundabout will include a two-lane slip lane`bypass' allowing eastbound motorists on the I-90 off ramp wishing to use Appleway Boulevard to avoid the roundabout altogether. ii) Consider converting Appleway Boulevard to a three lane,two-way street from Dishman-Mica Road west to Thierman Street(and install streetscape improvements). • t t H 1 1 _ . / / L. :I L ' . cpAll ------.-i "1 I F I 1 I I-1 rl LEH[1._li 4i_I I i I 1 I li 1_1 1 ht__.
