There were good questions and suggestions. 2 Chairman Crosby stated that the Planning Commission is interested in watching how this neighborhood group is formed to see if it will fit in the comprehensive plan. IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS A. OLD BUSINESS: A. Uniform Development Code & Matrix and Schedule of Permitted Uses Commissioner Crosby stated that this is a first touch of the uniformed development code and matrix for the Commission to review and amend. A decision was made to go through definitions page by page. Page 1 There were no suggestions for this page. Page 2 There was discussion again on the meaning of "airstrip," "airpark," and "airport." There was discussion to include the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) definitions. Then there was discussion about the meaning of"ultra lights" and "gliders." It will need research. Commissioner Gothmann will bring definitions for review by the Commission. What about "airport zoning"? It was discussed and decided it was needed. Ms. Sukup stated that "heliports" and "helipads" need to be added to the list. Does "agricultural land" and "agricultural zones" need to be defined? It was decided that it is not a zone and should be striked. Page 3 There was discussion on how to define a small or large animal, specifically about "pot-bellied pigs." It was decided they were part of the swine definition. Why is "antique store" defined when other businesses are not? It was discussed that this definition is to determine the difference between a junk store and an antique store as this seems to be an issue with Spokane Valley residents. Should there be a definition for "aquifer"? There was discussion. "Assembly" was the next definition to discuss. It was decided that pounds of weight might be a better way to define light versus heavy assembly. Commissioner Kogle suggested asking the local 3 industry for their help. Commissioner Carroll stated he would like to use the Washington State Department of Revenue NAISC codes for defining businesses. He will look up the definitions and bring those back to the commission for review. X. FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER There is nothing to bring before the Commission. Xl. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:15 p.m. SUBMITTED: APPROVED: Sue Pearson, Deputy City Clerk David Crosby, Chairman 4 CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Planning Commission Action Meeting Date: February 24, 2005 City Manager Sign-off: Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ® public hearing ❑ information ❑ admin. report ® pending legislation AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing —An ordinance amending the provisions of the Right- of-Way Vacation Requirements. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: City Council adoption of Ordinance No. 04-002 (Street Vacations) in January 2004. The ordinance was codified in Title 10 Article III of the Spokane Valley Code of Ordinances. Planning Commission was briefed on January 27, 2005 and City Council received an administrative report on the proposed amendments on February 15, 2005. BACKGROUND: The City has processed four street vacation requests since Ordinance 04-002 was adopted. As a result of questions which arose during these actions, several amendments should be considered: 1. City signatures on survey documents are unnecessary on documents prepared by a licensed Washington Surveyor; 2. Survey of properties outside the area of the actual vacation add additional cost to the survey without commensurate benefit to the petitioner; 3. Monuments provide control points for property owners, as well as establishing monuments in areas where monuments have been destroyed as a result of past street construction activities; 4. Providing the governing body with necessary findings by the hearing body who receive public testimony establishes the basis for legislative findings; 5. Requiring documentation of the transfer of title by means of a quit claim deed formalizes the transfer to abutting owners; and 6. The repeal of the existing code references and the establishment of a new section renumbered as part of the Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code. (Title 10 of the Spokane Municipal Code) A Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued on January 20, 2005, and the proposed ordinance distributed to CTED and adjacent jurisdictions. The appeal period expires on February 18, 2005. No final action of the proposal will be scheduled prior to March 22, 2005. A public hearing before the Planning Commission is scheduled for February 24, 2005. OPTIONS: Approve, amend or disapprove.

The SIC covers the entire field of economic activities by defining industries in accordance with the composition and structure of the economy. Over the years, it was revised periodically to reflect the economy's changing industry composition and organization. The Office of Management and Budget(OMB) last updated the SIC in 1987. In recent years,rapid changes in both the U.S. and world economies brought th SIC under increasing criticism. The 1991 International Conference on the Classification of Economic Activities provided a forum for exploring the issue: and for considering new approaches to classifying economic activity. In July 1992,the OMB established the Economic Classification Policy Committee chaired by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, with representatives from the Bureau of the Census,U.S. Department of Commerce, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics,U.S. Department of Labor. The OMB charged the ECPC with conducting a"fresh slate" examination of economic classifications for statistical purposes and determining the desirabilit of developing a new industry classification system for the United States based on a single economic concept. A March 31, 1993,Federal Register notice(pp. 16990-17004)announced OMB's intention to revise the SIC for 1997, the establishment of the Economic Classification Policy Committee, and the process for revising the SIC. The ECPC and Statistics Canada reviewed the existing structure of detailed "4- digit" industries in the 1987 U.S. SIC and the 1980 Canadian SIC for conformance to economic concepts. Principles of NAICS Development The principles upon which the three countries proposed to develop NAICS are as follows: http://www.naics.com/info.htm 2/23/05 NAICS Association -Information on NAICS, SIC, and business to business marketing. Page 2 of 13 1. NAICS will be erected on a production-oriented, or supply-based, conceptus framework. This means that producing units that use identical or similar production processes will be grouped together in NAICS. 2. The system will give special attention to developing production-oriented classifications for(a)new and emerging industries, (b) service industries in general, and(c)industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies. 3. Time series continuity will be maintained to the extent possible. However, changes in the economy and proposals from data users must be considered. In addition, adjustments will be required for sectors where Canada, Mexico, and the United States presently have incompatible industry classification definition, in order to produce a common industry system for all three North American countries. 4. The system will strive for compatibility with the 2-digit level of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC,Rev. 3) of the United Nations. NAICS Structure NAICS industries are identified by a 6-digit code, in contrast to the 4-digit SIC code. The longer code accommodates the larger number of sectors and allows more flexibility in designating subsectors. It also provides for additional detail not necessarily appropriate for all three NAICS countries. The international NAICS agreement fixes only the first five digits of the code. The sixth digit, where used, identifies subdivisions of NAICS industries that accommodate use needs in individual countries. Thus, 6-digit U.S. codes may differ from counterparts in Canada or Mexico,but at the 5-digit level they are standardized The New Hierarchical Structure XX Industry Sector(20 broad sectors up from 10 SIC) XXX Industry Subsector Industry Group XX XX Industry XXXXVC U.S., Canadian, or Mexican National specific The following are the 20 broad sectors(up from the 10 divisions of the SIC system): Code NAICS Sectors 11 Agriculture,Forestry, Fishing and Hunting 21 Mining 22 Utilities 23 Construction 31-33 Manufacturing http://www.naics.com/info.htm 2/23/05 NAICS Association -Information on NAICS, SIC, and business to business marketing.

Similarly,the SIC division for Service Industries has been subdivided to form several new sectors, as shown ii the chart below. Other sectors represent combinations of pieces from more than one SIC division. The new Information sector includes major components from Transportation, Communications, and Utilities (broadcasting and telecommunications),Manufacturing(publishing), and Services Industries (software publishing, data processing, information services, motion picture and sound recording). The Accommodation and Foodservices sector puts together hotels and other lodging places from Service Industries and eating and drinkin€ places from Retail Trade. NAICS Sector to SIC Divisions The chart below shows the NAICS sectors and the SIC divisions from which their primary components were derived.

Seventy-nine new industries are recognized and another 186 are revised. In all, there are 474 NAICS industries in manufacturing as compared with 459 in the 1987 SIC. The most significant change to manufacturing is the creation of the Computer and Electronic Produc Manufacturing subsector. This new subsector brings together those establishments engaged in the production of computers, computer peripherals, communications equipment, similar electronic products, and the components ft such products. The subsector was created because of the economic significance these industries have obtained, because their rapid growth suggests that the products of these industries will become even more important to the economies http://www.naics.com/info.htm 2/23/05 NAICS Association -Information on NAICS, SIC, and business to business marketing. Page 5 of 13 of the North American countries, and because the production processes of the establishments in these industries are fundamentally different from the production processes for other machinery and equipment. A number of important activities have been moved out of manufacturing while other activities have moved in. Publishing has moved to the new Information sector and logging to Agriculture,Forestry, and Fishing. Coming into manufacturing are bakeries that bake on the premise and custom manufacturin€ Retail and Wholesale Trade NAICS redefines the boundaries between Retail and Wholesale Trade. The nev NAICS definition emphasizes what the establishment does,rather than to whor it sells. Retailers are defined as those establishments that sell merchandise, generally without transformation, and attract customers using methods such as advertising, point-of-sale location, and display of merchandise. A store retailer has a selling place open to the public; merchandise on display or available through sales clerks; facilities for making cash or credit card transactions; and services provided to retail customers. Wholesale establishments, on the other hand, are primarily engaged in selling c arranging the purchase or sale of: (a)goods for resale, (b)capital or durable non-consumer goods, and (c)raw and intermediate materials and supplies used in production. Wholesalers normally operate from a warehouse or office and ar characterized by having little or no display of merchandise. In addition, neither the design nor the location of the premises is intended to solicit walk-in traffic. Wholesalers also do not normally use advertising directed to the general public The 1987 SIC defined retailers as those establishments that sold primarily to consumers while wholesalers were those establishments that sold primarily to business customers. The distinction between the boundaries of the two SIC divisions was based on class of customer rather than the selling characteristics of the establishment. It is estimated that seven percent of computer wholesaler 22 percent of office supply wholesalers; 35 percent of farm supply wholesalers and 57 percent of petroleum bulk stations will move to retail. Another major change to the retail trade sector is the removal of restaurants from retail trade. Restaurants are combined with accommodations to form a ne' sector in NAICS, Accommodation and Foodservices. Restaurants accounted fo about 10 percent of retail trade as defined by the 1987 SIC. Information Perhaps the most important change in NAICS is the recognition of a new Information sector. This new sector includes those establishments that create, disseminate, or provide the means to distribute information. It also includes establishments that provide data processing services. Industries included in this new sector are newspaper, book, and periodical publishers, previously included in the manufacturing sector in the SIC; software publishers, previously include http://www.naics.com/info.htm 2/23/05 NAICS Association -Information on NAICS, SIC, and business to business marketing. Page 6 of 13 in services; broadcasting and telecommunications producers and distributors, previously included with utilities and transportation; and motion picture and sound recording industries, information services, and data processing services, previously included in services. There are 34 industries included in this new subsector, 20 of which are new. Some of the new industries include paging, cellular and other wireless telecommunications, and satellite telecommunications. Finance and Insurance This new sector recognizes the important and dynamic changes occurring in the U.S. financial sector. Real estate--part of this grouping in the SIC--was moves to a new sector called Real Estate and Rental and Leasing. Deregulation and thi constantly changing structure of financial industries made it difficult to construct a system among the three countries. Therefore, agreement with Mexico for this sector reaches only to the 3-digit level (subsector)for finance and 4-digit level (industry group)for insurance. However, Canada and the United States reached agreement down to the 5-digit level. Real Estate and Rental and Leasing This sector includes industries from Services; Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate; and Transportation, Communications, and Public Utilities Professional,Scientific,and Technical Services Those businesses whose major input is human capital are grouped together in this new sector. The industries within this sector are each defined by the expertise and training of the service provider. The sector includes such industries as offices of lawyers, engineering services, architectural services, advertising services, veterinary services, advertising services, and interior design services. Forty-seven industries are grouped in this sector, 28 of which are new. Administrative and Support; Waste Management and Remediation Services This sector includes industries from Services; Transportation, Communications and Utilities; Construction; and Agriculture,Forestry, and Fishing Educational Services Health and Social Assistance This new sector recognizes that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the boundaries of health care and social assistance; therefore, NAICS groups these industries together in a new Health and Social Assistance sector. The industries are grouped in order from those providing the most intensive type of health care to those providing minimal health care with social assistance to http://www.naics.com/info.htm 2/23/05 NAICS Association -Information on NAICS, SIC, and business to business marketing. Page 7 of 13 those providing only social assistance. There are 39 industries in this new sector, 27 of which are new. Some of the new industries include HMO Medical Centers,Family Planning Centers,Blooc and Organ Banks,Diagnostic Imaging Centers, Continuing Care Retirement Communities, and Community Food Services. The sector also includes ambulance services transferred from Transportation, Communications, and Public Utilities. Accommodation and Food Services This sector includes lodging from Services and food services from Retail Trade Arts,Entertainment,and Recreation Those businesses engaged in meeting the cultural, entertainment, and recreational interests of their patrons are grouped together in this new sector. Casinos and other gambling businesses are recognized for the first time in NAICS, as are historical sites and sports teams and clubs. In all,there are 25 industries in the sector, most of which are new-- 19 in all. While most of the industries in the sector come from the SIC Services division, others come from Retail Trade and Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate. Other Services This sector includes industries from Services; Agriculture,Forestry, and Fishing;Manufacturing; and Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate Auxiliary Establishments Auxiliary establishments are those establishments that primarily produce support services for other establishments of the enterprise. Generally, these support services are not intended for use outside of the enterprise. In NAICS, these establishments are classified according to the establishment's primary activity. For example, an establishment providing data processing services for an enterprise is classified in NAICS 51421,Data Processing Services. An establishment that is the head office of an enterprise is classified in the new NAICS industry 551113, Corporate, Subsidiary, and Regional Managing Offices. In the 1987 SIC, each of these establishments was classified according to the primary activity of the establishment for which the support activity was performed. In the above examples,if those support units primarily served an automobile making plant,the support establishment was classified in automobile manufacturing. The SIC, however,treated the production of goods for other establishments of the same enterprise differently. If a manufacturing establishment produced goods for use within the enterprise,the manufacturing establishment was classified according to its primary activity, not the primary activity of the establishment it served. This different treatment of service producing versus manufacturing auxiliary establishments was inconsistent and NAICS recognize http://www.naics.com/info.htm 2/23/05 NAICS Association -Information on NAICS, SIC, and business to business marketing. Page 8 of 13 this inconsistency.NAICS classifies auxiliary establishments based on what they do,not on whom they serve. The production oriented concept of NAICS mandated this change. This change will result in significant shifts in employment data. In 1992, Censl data showed over 1,000,000 auxiliary employees assigned to manufacturing an over 840,000 auxiliary employees assigned to retail trade. These employees are most likely to move to either the Management of Companies and Enterprises sector;the Warehousing and Storage subsector;the Computer Systems Design and Related Services subsector; the Accounting, Tax Preparation,Bookkeepin€ and Payroll Services subsector; or some other services-related subsector. For th 1997 Economic Census, these auxiliary establishments will be dual coded by primary activity and by whom they serve. The data will be shown separately to provide data users with the necessary links to prior information.

With some important exceptions,it provides a set of standard 5-digit industries that describe the industrial structure and composition of the Canadian, United States and Mexican economies at selected levels of aggregation where agreement occurred among the three countries on a compatible classification. Below the agreed-upon level of compatibility each country has added additional detailed six-digit industries, as necessary to meet national needs, provided that this additional detail aggregates to the NAICS level. Exceptions to the rule of five-digit industry level NAICS compatibility are shown below in a table. http://www.naics.com/info.htm 2/23/05 NAICS Association -Information on NAICS, SIC, and business to business marketing. Page 11 of 13 Exceptions to the rule of five-digit industry level NAICS 2002 comparability NAICS level ends at: 2-digit Sector Wholesale Trade; Retail Trade; and Public Administration. 3-digit Waste Management and Remediation Services; Subsector * Credit Intermediation and Related Activities; Utilities; Personal and Laundry Services; and Religious, Grantmaking, Civic,Professional and other Similar Organisations. 4-digit Finance(except subsector 522), and Insurance: Industry Real Estate Group * Subsector 526 in Finance is a NAICS Canada subsector only. Accordingly, each country has its own NAICS manual, called respectively: NAICS Canada 2002 NAICS United States 2002 SCIAN Mexico 2002 Separate agreements providing for detailed industry comparability between Canada and the United States were reached for the utilities; retail trade; and finance and insurance sectors. Differences in NAICS 2002 Manuals Classes below the NAICS level are specific to each country and do not show up in the other countries' NAICS Manuals. Difference between these codes in NAICS Canada,NAICS US, and SCIAN Mexico reflect: 1. differences in relative size which allows for more national industry detail in selected sectors(e.g.,Manufacturing in the United States) 2. classes which are analytically important to one country for cultural, economic or institutional reasons(e.g., Cultural Industries in Canada) http://www.naics.com/info.htm 2/23/05 NAICS Association -Information on NAICS, SIC, and business to business marketing. Page 12 of 13 3. detail each country has chosen to fill in the classification below the NAICS level. 4. limited time and resources available for developing NAICS. In many cases, the national detail in the NAICS Canada and NAICS US Manuals are similar. Note that residual 6-digit classes can end in either and 8 or a 9. Within each sector, the country with the larger number of 6-digit classes identified their residual classes with a code ending in 9. As a rule, the 6-digit classes of the three countries carry the same code when they refer to similar industries and different codes when they refer to different industries. However, in rare instances,when the combined number of Canadian and US 6-digit classes exceeded 10, this resulted in an identical code for classes with a different content. There are only 3 such cases, viz: NAICS Canada 2002 Code NAICS US 2002 Other Printing 323119 Other Commercial Printing All Other Miscellaneous 332999 All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing Manufacturing Measuring,Medical and 334512 Automatic Environmental Controlling Devices Control Manufacturing for Manufacturing Residential, Commercial, and Appliance Use In the published paper version(12-501-XPE), comparable NAICS classes are identified by using the following superscripts: Symbol Explanation CAN Canadian industry only MEX Canadian and Mexican industries are comparable us Canadian and United States industries are comparable [Blank] [No superscript symbol] Canadian,Mexican and United States industries are comparable.
