that such dedication would increase the overall benefit to the residents of the PRD and
conform to other criteria in this section.
2. Access. All dwelling units within the PRD must have legal access to the proposed
common open space at the time of final PRD approval. Private or access roads,trees or
other landscaping may separate the common open space area. However,access should
not be blocked by major obstacles such as arterial or collector roadways or significant
natural features such as rivers, streams or topographic features. Areas dedicated for
active recreational open space shall have reasonable access from street frontages.
Design measures should accomplish the purposes of access and security.
3. Types of open space:
a. Land dedicated for open space should be usable for either greenbelts that serve
as a buffer between land uses,using existing vegetation,or an aesthetic amenity
such as boulevard trees; active recreational activities; or for protecting
environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands.
b. Except as provided in subsection (3)(c)or(d)below, thirty percent(30%)of the
required common open space area shall be suitable for active recreation. The
topography, soils, hydrology, and other physical characteristics of the area
proposed for active recreation shall be of such quality as to provide a dry,
obstacle-free space in a configuration which is suitable for active recreation.
c. The percentage of active recreational areas may be increased to as high as fifty
percent if it is determined that anticipated recreational needs will require a larger
percentage. In increasing this percentage,the following standard should be used:
the ratio of one acre to one hundred twenty-five residential units.
d. The percentage of active recreational area may be decreased to as low as
fifteen percent(15%)if it is determined that:
i. inclusion of buffers or environmentally sensitive lands such as wetlands
would better meet the open space needs of the residents of the
subdivision;or
ii' meeting the standard would require detrimental grading or other
disturbance of the natural setting.
4. Land required for open space shall not include:
accessory buildings,climate controlled improvements,and areas reserved for the
exclusive use and benefit of an individual tenant or owner;
dedicated streets, alleys or public rights-of-way, required landscaped areas,
areas required for yard depth or building setback or separation;
vehicular driveways,private streets,parking areas,loading or storage areas;

19.80 Adult Uses
19.80.010 Purpose.
In the development and adoption of this chapter, the City recognized that there are adult
entertainment uses which, due to their very nature, have serious objectionable operational
characteristics, particularly when located in close proximity to residential neighborhoods and
schools, thereby having a deleterious impact upon the quality of life in the surrounding areas. It
has been acknowledged by courts and communities across the nation that state and local
governmental entities have a special concern in regulating the operation of such businesses
under their jurisdiction to ensure the adverse secondary effects of the establishments are
minimized.
This chapter is intended to protect the general public health,safety and welfare of the citizenry of
the City of Spokane Valley through the regulation of the operations and licensing of the adult
entertainment devices, premises and personnel of adult entertainment establishments. The
provisions of this chapter have neither the purpose nor effect of imposing a limitation or restriction
on the content of any constitutionally protected sexually oriented or explicit communicative
materials, or communicative performances. The regulations set forth herein are intended to
prevent and control health, safety and welfare issues, the decline in neighborhood conditions in
and around adult entertainment establishments, and to prevent dangerous and unlawful conduct
associated with these facilities. This chapter may not be construed as permitting or promoting
obscene conduct or materials.
19.80.020 License required.
Licensing requirements for Adult Uses are contained in SVMC Title 5.10.

infrequent occurrence, special requirements, possible safety hazards or detrimental effects on
surrounding properties and other similar reasons are classified as conditional uses. A conditional
use is subject to specific review during which additional conditions may be imposed to assure
compatibility of the use with other uses in the vicinity. A request for a CUP may be denied where
it cannot be clearly demonstrated that the requested use will be compatible with other permitted
uses in the vicinity of the proposed conditional use.

the surrounding trees.
b. Stealth technology for towers in a more open setting means that they must have a
backdrop (for example, but not limited to, trees, a hillside, or a structure) on at
least two sides, be a compatible color with the backdrop, be made of compatible
materials with the backdrop, and that architectural or landscape screening be
provided for the other two sides. If existing trees are the backdrop, then a
greenbelt easement is required to ensure permanent retention of the surrounding
trees.
c. Antennas shall be integrated into the design of any personal wireless service
tower to which they are attached. External projections from the tower shall be
limited to the greatest extent technically feasible.

22.150. Stormwater Management Regulations
22.150.010 Finding and Purpose.
The increased flow of surface water from the use and development of real property within the City
must be managed to protect persons, property, and the environment. Stormwater facilities are a
common feature of urban development which must be constructed and maintained when property
is developed or redeveloped within a geographic area. The City shall implement policies and
procedures to:
Minimize the degradation of water quality in surface and groundwater; F--- Formatted:Bullets and Numbering
2b. Reduce the impact from increased surface water flow, erosion and
sedimentation caused by the development of property;
Promote site planning and land development practices that are consistent
with the topographical and hydrological conditions;and
4d. Maintain and protect public and private property that is used and dedicated
for stormwater management.
22.150.020.i. Definitions.
The following definitions shall apply throughout this chapter:
Best management practices(BMP): Currently available, feasible and generally accepted
techniques or practices that mitigate the adverse impact from the uncontrolled
stormwater on the environment,surrounding properties and infrastructure.
City Property: Real property owned by the City which may include easements,
dedications and rights-of-way.

other standards developed or recognized by the Director that relate to best management
practices, threshold requirements for a site drainage plan, exemptions, permitting
processes forms and such other matters for the administration of stormwater control.
Director:The City Director of Public Works as authorized by the City Manager.
Erosion: The disturbance of land or transportation of soil or other native materials by
running water,wind,ice or other geological agents.
Pollution Generating Impervious Surface (PGIS): Surfaces that are subject to vehicular
use, industrial activities, or storage of erodible or leachable materials that receive direct
rainfall, or run-on or blow-in rainfall. Metal roofs are PGIS unless coated with an inert,
non-leachable material. Roofs that are subject to venting of commercial or industrial
pollutants are also considered PGIS. A surface, whether paved or not, shall be
considered PGIS if it is regularly used by motor vehicles. The following are considered
regularly-used surfaces: roads, graveled and/or paved road shoulders, bike lanes within
the traveled lane of a roadway, driveways, parking lots, unfenced fire lanes, vehicular
storage yards,and airport runways.
Site Drainage Plan:A plan prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the State of
Washington that identifies the stormwater control area, stormwater facilities and other
measures reasonably required by the Director. The plan shall contain analysis and
recommendations based upon the"City Standards".
Standard Soils: Soils comprised of the Natural Resources Conservation District groups:
Garrison,Springdale,Bonner,and Hagen.
Stormwater: That portion of precipitation or snow melt that has not naturally percolated
into the ground or otherwise evaporated, but is contained, transported or flowing above
ground through streets,swales,channels,pipes,artificial or natural surfaces.
