Planning Commission was briefed on the proposed amendment on January 12, 2006. BACKGROUND: "Plastic Injection Molding" is not a permitted use in business zones. Using current technology, the process involves heating plastic pellets within a mold. No solvents or Volatile Organic compounds are used in the molding process. Machinery is hydraulic, generating less noise than a small forklift. The process is less intensive than a print shop which is a permitted use in both B-2 and B-3 business zoning districts. Currently the use is permitted only in 1-2 Light Industrial and 1-3 Heavy Industrial zoning districts. The proposed amendment was sent to CTED on December 8, 2005, and a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was made on the same day, with comments due on December 30, 2005. OPTIONS: Approve, provide staff with direction or disapprove. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff recommends approval. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None. STAFF CONTACT: Marina Sukup, AICP, Community Development Director ATTACHMENTS: Draft ordinance.

Plastic Injection Molding is a very neighbor friendly business as it is quiet and clean. It does not involve use of solvents, volatiles or organic compounds. The city actually already has one manufacturer in a similar area and I am sure there are no problems. I imagine it was grandfathered in but this business certainly presents no problems for neighbors. As far as I am concerned this proposed change makes sense.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70, SVMC 10.309.06 PREVIOUS COUNCIL/COMMISSION ACTION TAKEN: City Council was briefed on the inconsistencies between the interim Airport Overlay Zone regulations, state guidelines and federal regulations on September 20, 2005. Planning Commission received a presentation by the WSDOT Division of Aviation on the requirements on December 8, 2005. Planning Commission was briefed on the proposed amendments on January 12, 2006. BACKGROUND: Felts Field is located adjacent to the City of Spokane Valley. Approximately 10 acres of the airport is included within the City's corporate limits. Property adjoining the airport is generally fully developed and zoned low density residential and industrial. Felts Field is a public reliever airport primarily handling general aviation. As such, it is regulated pursuant to Chapter 77 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Safety and height regulation is established by federal regulation based on the length of the runway. Federal requirements are generally overseen by the WsDOT Division of Aviation. The proposed amendment brings the airspace hazard planes into conformance with federal requirements and also establishes land use compatibility zones restricting certain land uses in proximity to Felts Field. A Determination of Non-Significance was issued on December 1, 2005 with comments due not later than January 15, 2006 and a draft proposal was submitted to CTED and other agencies for their review on December 3, 2005. OPTIONS: Following the public hearing, approve, provide staff with direction concerning additional amendments, or disapprove.

Sprague, Suite 106 Spokane Valley, WA 99206 RE: Proposed Airport Hazard Overlay Ordinance Dear Chairman Crosby: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed Airport Hazard Overlay Ordinance. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Aviation Division supports the proposed amendment. We believe it is an important step in protecting Felts Field Airport from encroachment by incompatible development, and will help preserve the viability of the airport in the future. WSDOT Aviation works with local communities across Washington State to encourage a balance between preservation of transportation infrastructure and quality of life. In 1996, the Washington State Legislature amended the Growth Management Act to require all cities and counties to protect airports from incompatible land uses through comprehensive planning and development regulations. Through the Airport Land Use Compatibility Program, WSDOT Aviation provides technical assistance to help jurisdictions comply with the law. The city's proposed Airport Hazard Overlay will help protect the airport from encroachment. The amendment imposes height limits near the airport to improve safety, and limits land uses that may interfere with airport operations and contribute to health and safety concerns for the community. We recommend the city include its land use compatibility and airport height hazards maps in the comprehensive plan to reinforce their importance. To further enhance these protections, the city will be working with the Spokane Airport Board on the easement/covenant/disclosure notice in coming months. We support this collaboration and look forward to working with both parties. These protections are important for the airport, which supports a variety of activities and is a significant economic resource for the region. For example, several businesses are located on airport property, providing aviation services including flight school/flight training, aircraft rental and sales, aviation accessory and pilot supply sales, sightseeing tours and charter, and aircraft maintenance and modification. In addition, Spokane Community College operates its aviation maintenance program at Felts Field. In total, Mr. David Crosby January 31, 2006 Page 2 approximately 300 aircraft are based at the airport. A study conducted by WSDOT in 2001 estimated that the airport generates$16.5 million in total annual sales output. Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on the proposed amendment. Adoption of the Airport Hazard Overlay will help prevent future encroachment of incompatible land uses and protect the operation of Felts Field. We offer our continued technical assistance to address aviation issues and look forward to working with the city in the future. Sincerely, AA/id(' S.

Prior to the start of the public hearing, the Chair may require that all persons wishing to be heard shall sign in with the Secretary, giving their names and addresses, the agenda item, and whether they wish to speak as proponent, opponent, or otherwise. Any person who fails to sign in shall not be permitted to speak until all those who signed in have done so. At any public hearing, persons who have signed in and wish to be heard shall be given an opportunity to be heard. However, the Chair shall be authorized to establish speaker time limits and otherwise control presentations to avoid repetition. The Chair, subject to concurrence by the majority of the Commission, may establish time limits and otherwise control presentations. The Chair may change the order of speakers so that testimony is heard in the most logical groupings, (i.e., proponents, opponents, adjacent owners, vested interests, etc.) B. The Chair introduces the agenda item, opens the public hearing, and announces the following Rules of Order: 1. All comments by proponents, opponents, or the public shall be made from the speaker's rostrum, and any individual making comments shall first give his/her name and address. This is required because an official recorded transcript of the public hearing is being made. 2. It is not necessary to be a proponent or opponent in order to speak. If you consider yourself neither a proponent nor opponent, please speak during the proponent portion and identify yourself as neither a proponent nor an opponent. 3. No comments shall be made from any other location, and anyone making "out of order" comments shall be subject to removal from the meeting. 4. Demonstrations, applause or other audience participation during or at the conclusion of anyone's presentation are prohibited. It is distracting to the Commission and persons testifying. 4 5. These rules are intended to promote an orderly system of holding a public hearing, to give persons an opportunity to be heard and to ensure that individuals are not embarrassed by exercising their right of free speech. C. When the Commission conducts a hearing to which the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine applies, the Chair (or in the case of a potential violation by that individual, the Vice Chair) will ask if any Commission member knows of any reason which would require such member to excuse themselves pursuant to the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine. The form of the announcement is as follows: All Commission members should now give consideration as to whether they have: (1) A demonstrated bias or prejudice for or against any party to the proceedings; (2) A direct or indirect financial interest in the outcome of the proceeding; (3) A prejudgment of the issue prior to hearing the facts on the record, or (4) Had ex parte contact with any individual, excluding administrative staff, with regard to an issue prior to the hearing. Please refer to Section 16(B) for more specific information on how to proceed where there has been an ex parte communication. If any Commission member should answer in the affirmative, then the Commission members should state the reason for his/her answer so that the Chair may inquire of administration as to whether a violation of the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine exists. CONDUCTING THE PUBLIC HEARING The Chair announces the matter and opens the public hearing stating the date and time. The Chair allows staff to describe the matter under consideration and place matters in the public record. The Chair inquires as to whether Commissioners have any questions of staff. If any Commission member has questions, the appropriate individual will be recalled. The Chair allows proponents, opponents and the public to offer testimony and evidence on the pending matter. The Chair may allow Commission members to ask questions of any person at the conclusion of their testimony. 5 At the conclusion of the public testimony, the Chair asks staff if there is any additional information, testimony or evidence to submit for the record. The Chair either closes or continues the public hearing. Additional testimony may not be requested or considered after the closing of the public hearing, unless the Chair declares the record open until a date certain for the purpose of receiving written testimony or materials. The Chair inquires if there is a motion by any Commission member. If a motion is made, it shall be in the form of an affirmative motion. Following the motion and its second, discussion occurs among Commission members. The Chair inquires if there is any further discussion by the Commission members. The Chair inquires if there are any final comments or recommendations from staff. The Chair inquires of the Commission members if they are ready for the question. The Secretary records a roll call vote. The Chair may direct staff to prepare findings for approval. D. Pre-filing of testimony or evidence is encouraged and may be delivered to the Department of Community Development in advance of a hearing. 10. Agenda, Staff Reports and Minutes for Regular Meetings. A. Typically, a copy of the agenda for every regular meeting of the Planning Commission shall be sent to each member up to seven (7) days prior to the date of the meeting. B. If available, staff reports will be sent to Planning Commission members with the agenda. Agendas and staff reports will be made available to applicants and the public at the same time. 11.
