vice-chair,Commissioner Kelley nominated Commissioner Phillips and Commissioner Rasmussen
nominated Commissioner Johnson. Commissioner Phillips declined the nomination,
Commissioner Johnson was elected to the position of vice-chair.
b) Annual Training: Public Records Act, Open Public Meetings Act: Deputy City Attorney Erik
Lamb explained to the Commission the state requirement for training regarding the Public Records
Act and the Open Public Meetings Act. He shared the importance of following the rules and what
impacts any violations could have on the City and individuals should these regulations not be
followed. Mr. Lamb covered in detail the requirements of the state Public Records Act and the
Spokane Valley Municipal Code 2.75 which covers how the City addresses requests when they are
received. He discussed what constitutes a writing,what the City must do to provide the `writing,'
best practices,how the City responds to requests,where records might be located,exemptions and
penalties should the City not comply in a proper manner.
Mr. Lamb turned to the Open Public Meetings Act which was enacted in 1971, and is set forth in
RCW 42.30. It applies to all city and town councils including many subordinate board and
committees including the Planning Commission. All meetings of the governing bodies are open to
the public and all actions taken by such bodies shall be done inside of meetings which are open to
the public. Emails, phone calls, messaging can be considered serial meetings. The City has
procedural requirements for meetings: noticing, meetings are open to the public,votes are not by
secret ballot,and members of the public are not forced to give their name or other information as a
12-10-16 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 2
condition of attendance. It is not considered a meeting if City matters are not discussed, such as
social gatherings, or before and after meetings. Public perception of a gathering where City
business is not conducted should be taken into account,because it could be misconstrued. There
are fines for violations and any action taken,where a violation occurred,the actions are considered
null and void.
Mr.Lamb also covered the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine. He talked about how Commissioners
would judge for themselves if a proposal under consideration would have any financial benefit for
them or someone they are close to. If a Commissioner felt a proposal would impact them, the
Commissioner should state so and then recuse themselves from all discussions of that specific
proposal.
VII. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Commissioner Graham asked if the Commission was still seven members
and when would the Council appoint the other member. Mr. Lamb stated it was still a seven member
board however he had not heard a date as to when the Council would appoint the final member.
VIII. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Johnson moved to adjourn the meeting at 6:44 p.m. The vote on
the motion was unanimous in favor,motion passed.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Study Session — Small Residential Dwellings/Supportive Housing
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: ROW 36.70A, SVMC 17.80.150 and 19.30.040
PREVIOUS ACTION TAKEN: None
BACKGROUND: On June 9, 2016 staff presented to the Spokane Valley Planning Commission
an overview of the various housing alternatives, pertinent regulations, and a discussion of tiny
houses. At the October 20, 2016 Planning Commission meeting staff presented the Draft
Development Regulations, as a part of the Comprehensive Plan Update, which included
housing alternatives. At that time the Planning Commission agreed to remove SVMC 19.40.100
(Small residential dwellings-supportive housing) from the Draft Development Regulations to be
reviewed as a separate future code text amendment. On December 8, 2016 staff gave a
presentation to the Planning Commission which included draft regulations and the zones that
they were allowed. Staff was directed to research other jurisdictions and their regulations.
Staff will present a recap of the December 8, 2016 tiny house overview and discuss these and
supportive housing developments and regulations in other jurisdictions. At this time the Planning
Commission should discuss the issue and determine if additional information is needed, if the
regulations should be modified, or other courses of action.
OPTIONS: N/A
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: The Planning Commission should discuss the issue
and determine the next course of action.

MEMO
Date: February 9, 2017
To: Planning Commission
From: Lori Barlow, Senior Planner, AICP
Subject: Supportive Housing Questions
At the December 8, 2016 Planning Commission Meeting, the Commissioners began discussing
the topic of Supportive Housing for the purposes of amending the Spokane Valley Municipal
Code. At the meeting additional minor information was requested on varying topics related to
supportive housing. While Micki Harnois will provide the bulk of the information requested,
this memo provides information to the following questions:
1. What are the foundation requirements for standalone supportive housing units?
Answer: If the unit is regulated by the building code, a permanent foundation that is
frost protected is required. This could be strip footing constructed of CMU blocks or
other screening.
2. Why do the draft regulations limit the development to 15 dwelling units per acre?
Answer: The draft regulations were formulated based on the review of other
jurisdictions with existing developments. Many of the proposed regulations
mimicked Quixote Village as it offered an example compatible with concepts
discussed such as the Fuller House. Quixote Village, when calculated out, was a
density of 15 dwelling units per acre. However, the regulatory review conducted by
staff indicated density measures such as maximum camp population of 100 persons,
and a minimum area of 5,000 sq. ft. plus an additional 100 sq. ft. of land per
occupant. The density should be further discussed as the Commission refines the
regulations to determine its compatibility with allowed uses in the zoning district.
Alternatively, the maximum density could be determined through the conditional use
permit process and determined on a case by case basis.
3. Why are stand-alone supportive housing developments not allowed in the Industrial
Mixed Use Zone (IMU)?
Answer: The IMU zone is a new zone located along the north side of Trent. The
IMU allows retail, office, light manufacturing and other light industrial uses, but is
predominantly intended to capture the mix of existing uses that include commercial
uses, and contractor and tow yards. Due to its lack of proximity to services and
public transportation it is compatible with the supportive housing needs.
4. Is it possible to develop varying requirements for supportive housing developments
based on the zoning district?
Supportive Housing Memo
Planning Commission
Feb.9,2017
Page 2
Answer: Staff's review of Supportive Housing Regulations did not identify varying
requirements based on the zoning district. However, different regulations can be
required for specific zoning districts. SVMC 19.85 Marijuana Uses offer an example
of how this is accomplished with Marijuana production standards. Marijuana
production is allowed in both the Regional Commercial (RC) and the Industrial (I)
zones. But, marijuana production in the RC zone is permitted only indoors, while it is
allowed indoors and outdoors in the I zone.
5. Are supportive housing units required to have bathrooms and kitchens in each unit?
Answer: Not necessarily. The structures proposed for supportive housing units
would typically fall into one of two categories: a Dwelling Unit or a Sleeping Unit.
A dwelling unit requires facilities for cooking and sanitation, while a sleeping unit
does not. If sleeping units are proposed than community facilities can be provided.
Further information can be provided by Jenny Nickerson, Senior Plans Examiner.
Per the 2015 International Building Code the following definitions are provided:
a. Dwelling Unit: A single unit providing complete, independent, living facilities
for one or more persons, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping,
eating, cooking and sanitation.
b. Sleeping Unit: A room or space in which people sleep, which can also include
permanent provisions for living, eating, and either sanitation or kitchen facilities
but not both. Such rooms and space that are also part of a dwelling unit are not
sleeping units.
Additionally the 2015 International Building Code notes that "Habitable" rooms shall
have a floor area of not less than 70 sq. ft. (except kitchens) and shall not be less than
7' in any horizontal dimension.
6. Why is 0.5 parking spaces per unit required?
Answer: Staff's review of supportive housing regulations noted that parking
requirements ranged from none, to adequate parking be provided. In one case a
minimum of 6 spaces was required to be provided. Generally speaking parking
demand in homeless housing communities is not significant. The draft included a 0.5
parking space requirement per unit. The requirement should be discussed because of
the potential for shared parking with sponsoring or hosting entities, and proximity to
public transportation.

Village will manage the transitional housing campground to provide temporary shelter
for the homeless, and will work with providers of low-income housing for permanent
placement of residents. The Portland Housing Bureau shall monitor the efforts of Dignity
Village to transition its residents into permanent housing and will provide periodic
reports to the City Council offices.
NOW,THEREFORE, the Council directs:
a. The Commissioner of Public Works and the City Auditor are authorized to execute a

SITE PLAN STANDARDS FOR DIGNITY VILLAGE
I. Background
In Resolution No. 36200, passed February 26, 2004,the Portland City Council designated a
specific portion of property as a campground under the terms of ORS 446.265 (the"Designated
Campground"). Owned by the City, it is commonly known as Sunderland Recycling Facility,
located at 9325 NE Sunderland Road, Tax Lot 100 1N1E12B (Tax Account R-315196). The
intent of the City of Portland in contracting with a nonprofit organization, also called Dignity
Village,was for the contractor to oversee the campground, provide temporary shelter for
otherwise homeless individuals, and assist its temporary residents in connecting to services and
ultimately to move into permanent housing.
While ORS 446.265 states that"the accommodations may consist of separate facilities, in the
form of yurts, for use as living units by one or more individuals or by families,"the City did not
specify that the accommodations must be yurts. With the guidance of the Bureau of
Development Services,there was an infoilllal agreement that the units be no more than 10x10 for
individuals and 10x12 (under 120 sq. feet) for larger households with a maximum height of 10
feet from the finished floor to the roofs.
These dimensions were deemed suitable for the transportability of temporaryhousing structures.
According to `Agreement for Services Contract No. 53015' section 1.5-B,the "...Contractor [in
this case Dignity Village] shall be responsible for relocating... all transitional housing
structures." The structures have been built on top of pallets or platforms so that the structures
could be moved by a forklift onto a flat bed trailer. Since the maximum height of a vehicle
without a Superload permit is 14 feet2, and a typical flat bed truck is 2 feet from the ground,
these temporary structures should be no more than 14 feet in height from ground to roof.
Temporary housing structures were to be placed in the center of the designed plots. Each plot is
approximately 21 feet x 21 feet with a total of 43 plots. A buffer of 18 inches from the ground to
finished floor was determined by.pest control to be the minimum space needed to prevent
vermin.
According to ORS 446.265, "Transitional housing accommodations described under subsection
(1) of this section shall be limited to persons who lack permanent shelter and cannot be placed in
other low income housing. A municipality may limit the maximum amount of time that an
individual or a family may use the accommodations." The City of Portland-has the authority to
institute a maximum amount of time that an individual may use the accommodations.
•
'"A building permit is required to build,demolish or move any carport,garage or shed that is greater than 200 sq
ft in area or greater than 10 feet high measured from the fmish floor level to the avg.height of roof."

The original plan did not approve construction of decks and decks have been constructed without
City permission. The proposed changes to the Site Plan will allow for decks that are the width of
the front of the structure and no more than three feet long.
II. Proposed changes to the Site Plan •
Proposed clarifications to the existing agreement and changes are as follows:
•
A. Dimensions of Temporary Housing Units
The dimensions of any structures on the site are limited to 101x12' or 120 sq. ft. There must be a
buffer of 18 inches from the ground to the finished floor, and height from ground floor to roof
cannot be more than 11.5 feet (138 inches). Any new structures to be built or located on the site
are limited to these size requirements or are subject to the necessary required building and other
related permits. [See diagram below.]
Decks will be permitted,that are the width of the front of the structure and no more than three
feet long. An awning that is no larger than the dimension of the deck will also be permitted.

B. Temporary Housing Units Must be Centered in Plot
Transitional housing structures including the deck must be centered within a 17x17 foot radius.
This leaves a 2 foot space between the structure and the border of the plot creating a 4 foot lane
between structures. This change has.been made to reduce the likelihood of a fire spreading and to
create ample space for fire safety professionals to maneuver through the Village. Please
reference the diagram below. . •

resolution,or report)?Please check the appropriate box below:
®YES:Please proceed to Question#9.
❑NO:Please, explain why below;and proceed to Question#10.
As part of the 2011-2016 Consolidated Plan and 2012-2013 Action Plan,the City allocated$10 million in
federal housing and community development funds to its community partners to implement strategies to
preserve and develop affordable housing; provide housing access and stabilization services to people
experiencing homelessness and others facing barriers to housing;provide homeownership education and
counseling programs to low-and moderate-income households,including foreclosure prevention; address
housing health and safety concerns;and expand access to economic opportunity for low-income people.
The goal of preventing and ending homelessness is clearly documented in the 2012-2013 Action Plan.If
awarded,the contract will provide resources to address the emergency and long-term housing and service
needs of people experiencing homelessness in our community..
9)If"YES,"please answer the following questions:
a), What impacts are anticipated in the community from this proposed Council item?
For this council item,the City of Portland anticipates the following benefits will result from
contracted services: 60/night people experiencing homelessness will be able to sleep safely
through the night;more than 40 households/year will move to stable housing through rent
2
assistance and/or homeless prevention services; and more than 100 households/year will
receive information, education or referral services.
b) Which community and business groups, under-represented groups,organizations,
external government entities, and other interested parties were involved in this effort,
and when and how were they involved?
As required by federal regulations, a Citizen Participation Plan(CPP)describing the overall
framework for public involvement was developed and adopted with the(2011-2016
Consolidated Plan.)A series of hearing and public meetings were held regarding the
development of the Plan,in all areas of the city to ensure access to a broad range of
community members.Translation services were provided when requested. All hearings
locations were accessible to persons with disabilities.All documents were posted on the
Portland Housing Bureau website.
In addition to the CPP process,the Portland Housing Advisory Commission,the bureau's
advisory body,and the Federal Funding Oversight Committee,a representative body of the
three jurisdictions(Portland, Gresham, and Multnomah County),reviewed the Plan and its
recommendations.Also,PUB conducted a series of public meetings and focus groups
focused on the topic of prevention,housing and support services for people experiencing
homelessness in the development of its Strategic Plan.
Further community and inter jurisdictional involvement was provided in approving the
funding priorities represented in this ordinance through the annual Continuum of Care
process,which engaged and incorporated active review and feedback from the Coordinating
Committee to End Homelessness(CCEH).CCEH represents a committee of stakeholders
committed to preventing and ending homelessness efforts, including: nonprofit agencies,
governmental departments,faith groups,community advocates and homeless or formerly
homeless individuals.
c) How did public involvement shape the outcome of this Council item?
Public involvement set the priority for allocation of PHB resources for preservation of
existing effective programs over other expenditures for new programs.
In the Consolidated Plan process,public involvement affected the City's understanding of
community needs to prevent and end homelessness.For this particular initiative, it
emphasized: the continued shortage of permanent supportive housing and other affordable
housing;the impact of the economic recession on very low-income households;demand for
rent assistance; and the need to promote greater systems alignment of housing and services.
d) Who designed and implemented the public involvement related to this Council item?
Public involvement was designed and implemented by PHB as part of the Comprehensive
Plan process.
e) Primary contact for more information on this public involvement process(name,title,

CSH Supportive Housing Policies and Procedures
Manuals
04141#4411 t,,,t
..;x*Cag
a,
Every supportive housing program should have documented policies and procedures that are clearly
written and comprehensible to all program staff. Having clear policies and procedures in place helps
provide support to staff,helps supportive housing projects run smoothly,and helps ensure
consistent and predictable responses to important events. A Policies and Procedures Manual
represents an important guide to:who does what;when or how often it is done;how it is done(in
writing,in a meeting, etc.);what resources are available (staff on call,logbooks);and what forms to
use. At a minimum,the Manual should outline the performance of critical functions,such as
emergency on-call systems, fire safety procedures,and responses to crises. Policies and procedures
should also be periodically reviewed and revised throughout the operating of the housing.
Many programs have three different manuals:
• A Welcome/Orientation Guide (for tenants);
• A Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual (for staff);and
• A Building Operating/Program Policies and Procedures Manual(for staff).
What to Include in a Supportive Housing Policy and Procedures Manual:
The Manual should address the following essential elements:
Introduction

❑ Agency Overview and Mission
❑ Program Description and Goals
Organizational Chart
❑ Organizational Chart
u Job Descriptions
