IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
a. Study Session: CTA-2020-0001: A proposed change to Spokane Valley Municipal
Code (SVMC) 19.180,Newly Annexed Areas
Economic Development Manager Mike Basinger gave a presentation to the commission
explaining the city initiated code text amendment that will amend Chapter 19.180 of the
SVMC to clarify the process and criteria to annex adjacent and contiguous areas into the city
and to ensure that the fiscal impacts of providing the facilities, utilities, services, and
maintenance of the annexation area are adequately considered prior to annexation.
Deputy City Attorney Erik Lamb provided additional information regarding annexation. He
explained that the amendment will clarify the annexation process for the three types of
1
06-11-2020 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 6
annexation requests: voter initiated, City Council initiated and direct petition. It will outline
the criteria that will be evaluated including existing and new facilities, services, expenses and
revenues. It will also clearly identify the process to address zoning upon annexation.
Chair Johnson asked for clarification regarding zoning for specific parcels as they request to
annex into the city limits.
Mr. Basinger answered that when the city annexes a property it is zoned with a designation
that is the most similar to its current designation with the County. It will then be brought
through the amendment process to evaluate what the zoning should be and go through the
public process to make that final designation.
Chairman Johnson asked for information regarding financial impact. He asked if a property
would still be considered for annexation if it is found that the tax value received would be
lower than the cost to the city.
Mr. Basinger answered that this criteria will just be used as guidelines for the Council to
consider when they make those decisions regarding annexation.
b. Study Session: CTA Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Mr. Basinger explained that local jurisdictions are allowed to make amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan once each year. There are five proposed amendments that will be
considered during 2020; four map amendments and one text amendment. A public hearing
will be held on June 25,2020. Notice of hearing will be published twice prior to the fifteen
day requirement, the site was posted with a"Notice of Hearing" sign, and individual notice
was mailed to all residents within a 400 foot radius of the subject properties. After the public
hearing,the request will move to Council where they will review Planning Commission
findings, consider the public hearing, and approve/modify/deny the request.
The floor was given to Senior Planner Chaz Bates to discuss the details of each proposed
amendment.
CPA-2020-0001: Request to change the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation from Single
Family Residential(SFR)to Corridor Mixed Use(CMU) and to change the Zoning District from
Single Family Residential Urban (R-3) to Corridor Mixed Use(CMU).
Mr. Bates said that this amendment is privately initiated for the property located at 1311 N
McDonald Road, between Mission and Broadway. It is owned by Land Use Solutions and
Entitlement. The request is to rezone the property from single-family residential (R-3)to
Corridor Mixed Use (CMU). The property to the east is zoned multi-family, the property to
the south is corridor mixed use, and the west and south are zoned single family residential.
Findings show there are no critical areas on the site, the site would support the
redevelopment of the parcel, is supported by the transportation network, and is compatible
with the surrounding uses.
CPA-2020-0002: Request to change the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation from
Industrial(I)to Regional Commercial(RC) and to change the Zoning District from Industrial(I)
to Regional Commercial(RC).
2
06-11-2020 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 6
Mr. Bates stated that this amendment is a privately initiated request for the property located
off of Sprague and Fancher and is owned by Lawrence B. Stone Properties. The request is to
convert the zoning on 3 acres of land from Industrial (I)to Regional Commercial (RC). The
properties to the north are zoned industrial and the property to the south and the west are
regional commercial. Findings show that there are no critical areas, the site is completely
paved, the change would support redevelopment of an underused property, is supported by
the transportation network and is compatible with the surrounding uses.
CPA-2020-0003: Request to change the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation from
Multifamily Residential(MFR) to Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) and to change the Zoning District
from Multifamily Residential(MFR) to Corridor Mixed Use(CMU).
Mr. Bates stated that this amendment is a privately initiated request for the property located
south of Mission and west of Pines and is owned by Jay Rambo. The request is to convert
the zoning of 6.24 acres from Multifamily Residential (MFR)to Corridor Mixed Use (CMU).
The properties to the west is corridor mixed use, the north is industrial, the east is corridor
mixed use and the south is single family residential. Findings show that there are no critical
areas, the site supports redevelopment of an underused property, is supported by the
transportation network and is compatible with the surrounding uses. A trip generation and
distribution letter was completed by the City of Spokane Valley's Senior Engineer and shows
a net increase of traffic volumes of one car during the PM peak hour. All other times of the
day remain the same.
Commissioner Haneke asked if the developer wants to build additional apartment buildings
on the property and expressed concern about traffic flow in the area.
Mr. Bates answered that this zoning designation would allow for additional multifamily
dwelling units or retail.
Attorney Lamb responded that the analysis done for this change shows the change from
multi-family to corridor mixed use, it is not for a specific proposal. The current zoning of
multi-family allows for a significant amount of trips. Corridor mixed use zoning will add
more flexibility of uses but according to the traffic study it should not impact the traffic flow
more than one car during the peak PM period.
Commissioner Kaschmitter asked about the open space requirement for corridor mixed use
designation.
Building Official Nickerson responded that there are different requirements in the current
Spokane Valley Municipal code between multifamily versus corridor mixed use zones.
Multifamily does require open space but corridor mixed use does not. If open space was still
required, Mission Park would provide the multifamily open space requirement.
CPA-2020-0006: Request to change the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation from
Industrial(I) to Corridor Mixed Use(CMU)and to change the Zoning District from Industrial(I)
to Corridor Mixed Use(CMU).
Mr. Bates stated that this amendment is a city-initiated request to change the 9 acre property
located at 3830 N Sullivan Rd from Industrial (I)to Corridor Mixed Use (CMU). The
property is owned by East Valley School District(EVSD) and currently houses the district's
Walker Center. This location includes the EVSD administrative services and maintenance
3

building. The properties to the west, north, and east are all industrial uses, and to the south
are retail service and industrial uses. Findings show that there are no critical areas, supports
expanded educational uses, is supported by the transportation network, and is compatible
with the surrounding areas. The proposed amendment allows flexibility so that that EVSD
can provide educational services in this location. Education services are prohibited in the
industrial zone and EVSD would like to move their Parent/Partner program to this location.
CPA-2020-0007: Amend Chapter 2 Goals and Policies to provide policy guidance for increased
housing density with access to support services like transit and commercial services, and provide
implementing regulations.
Mr. Basinger said that this is a city initiated text amendment that will apply city-wide. It will
address alternative housing types such as duplexes, cottages, and townhomes. It is policy
language that will help protect residential neighborhoods by incentivizing alternative housing
in areas that are supported by existing infrastructure. Staff is proposing an area-wide rezone
in hopes to address concerns from the residents regarding the influx of duplex developments
and provide appropriate locations for alternative housing. The objective of this amendment
is to address those concerns by creating areas that can support denser housing because of its
location to transit and services. The vision is that there will be a larger variety of housing
types available for residents and will help with housing affordability.
The proposal will rezone 1218 acres within the City limits to the new zoning district, R-4.
There is 57 vacant acres and 67 acres that are partially used. Studies show that there is
potential for 1240 housing units which would lead to 3100 new residents. The proposed area
is surrounded by multifamily and corridor mixed use zoning districts. The code text
amendment will create the R-4 zone in the code and provide a description and outline
permitted uses. The change specifies that duplex development in the R-3 zone shall have a
minimum lot size of 14,500 square feet. There is also an additional text change in the
Appendix A definitions that states that townhouses are not considered multifamily.
Mr. Basinger stated that staff's analysis shows that single family development will
incentivize the R-3 zone because the change will allow eight single family units per acre.
The new R-4 zone will promote development of alternative housing types in those areas
where transit and services are available giving a greater variety of housing types in areas that
can handle an influx of residents.
Commissioner McKinley asked what the ultimate intent is for the amendment.
Mr. Basinger answered that the vision is to offer a variety of alternative housing within the
city. Staff is optimistic that due to the density change in this amendment, the City might see
some cottage or townhome developments that would offer more affordable options.
Commissioner Kaschmitter asked if the Appleway Trail could be extended. She also asked if
Spokane Transit Authority is considering making their services more frequent in this area.
Mr. Basinger answered that there are plans to extend the Appleway Trail to Dishman Hills.
The Transit Authority is optimistic that they would be able to extend their services as more
development happens. They feel that more demand would drive them to offer additional
services.
Commissioner Beaulac asked about the notification process for the properties affected by this
change.
4
06-11-2020 Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 6
Mr. Basinger answered that the public hearing has been published twice in the newspaper, it
will be sent to the Comprehensive Plan distribution list that includes any person that has ever
signed up to receive notifications about comprehensive plan changes (approximately 370
people), it will be published on all of the City's social media platforms, and a media release
will be sent out prior to the public hearing.
Chairman Johnson asked for clarification about sending notification out regarding the City-
wide rezone.
Mr. Basinger responded that the City does not send out letters to individual property owners
when a City-wide rezone is done. However, staff hopes that the additional notices on social
media,press releases, and the distribution list will get the word out to the residents about the
change.
c. Study Session: CTA-2020-0002.A proposed change to Spokane Valley Municipal
Code 19.90,Essential Public Facilities.
Senior Planner Lori Barlow gave a presentation on the city-initiated code text amendment to
amend regulations on essential public facilities (EPF). The proposal is to prohibit locally
significant essential public facilities in residential zones. She explained that essential public
facilities are facilities that are typically hard to site because of their size and the nature of
their use. These facilities include state and local correctional facilities, solid waste handling
facilities, inpatient facilities which includes substance abuse facilities, mental health group
homes and secure community transition facilities. Pursuant to the Growth Management Act,
cities and counties are required to have procedures to site essential public facilities. They
can't be precluded from being allowed within the city limits. However,the City can control
the zones where they are located. This request is to preclude all of the residential zones; R-1,
R-2, and R-3. The reason for this change is because there have been numerous detoxification
facilities proposed within the City limits in the last few years. There was a controversial
public hearing held recently for a detoxification center that wanted to move into a residential
zone. Staff made the decision that it would be appropriate to look at making a change to
limit the zones where these types of facilities can be sited.
The City regulates essential public facilities pursuant to chapter 19.90 SVMC. The current
regulations stipulate that a conditional use permit(CUP)is required for all essential public
facilities to address any possible impacts. Currently, essential public facilities are allowed in
all zones except mixed use and parks and open space.
Chairman Johnson asked if the new R-4 zone would also be included.
Ms. Barlow answered that the City will probably look to exclude that zone if it is created but
the current code text amendment only addresses the zones that are in the code right now.
Chairman Johnson asked the timeframe for this amendment.
Ms. Barlow answered that the public hearing will be held in July, the findings of fact at the
following meeting and then moving onto the City Council for their review and decision.
X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: The Commissioners welcomed Commissioner Haneke to the
board. Commissioner McKinley asked for an update regarding opening the City Hall for in
person meetings.
5

Ms. Nickerson answered that the governor's order for COVID phase three does include
allowing face-to-face with customers for government facilities. However, there is no date yet
for when phase three will begin. The City has begun preparations for when opening does
happen and is putting protocols in place to keep people safe while they are in City Hall.
XI. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner McKinley made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:06
pm. The vote on the motion was seven in favor, zero against, and the motion passed.

RE:Parcel #45152 1311 N. McDonald
Chas:
On Monday, March 23, we spoke about the building permit on the property on McDonald. After our
discussion, I was not very happy about the way the Planning Commision had changed the wording of
the zoning permits that you issue. The words MIXED USE can mean many things. Business,
Apartment, Medical, Auto Shop, Used Car Lot, etc. However you did tell me the person applying for
the permit was planning on a Medical Buiding, although he could change his mind and build a
Apartment Building.
In the best interest of the people living in the city, it would be more helpful to be more clear of the type
of building on said properties. This open end permitting can really turn into a bad situation. I do
realize this type of zoning makes it much easier for you to monitor.
But please consider the people you represent.
Thank you for taking time to talk with me and please pass this on to the rest of the board and have a
discussion.

My name is Kay Huhs. I have lived in Riverwalk since 1998, and have lived in the valley all my life. I
have never seen such a mutilation all the time I have been here. I cannot believe you have allowed
all this unnecessary building of apartments. It has run down our property value, declined our quality of
life 10 fold. Our very fabric of our so called "City of Spokane Valley" is not a valley anymore at all. It
is just a city. Greed has raised it's ugly head once again and has created nothing but a discusting
outcome. The very reason people were attracted to this area is because it was a peaceful, serene,
nature loving area. No more, that's is all gone and it is trashy, over populated and sad. You have
allowed so much abuse to this area I want to move. I am sure the one's whom allowed this
destruction are not from here and do not care and don't have the same compassion as the people
who were raised here have. I hope you stop allowing the over building and let City of "Spokane
Valley" be a valley not a metropolis!

June 18,2020
Dear City of Spokane Valley,
As business owners and contractors of 55+communities,we were excited to hear that the City of Spokane Valley is considering a
change that will address a great need in our city,the establishment of a new zone that fits between the existing R3 and multi-family
zone.
To give you historical context, in the fall of 2012,Conard&Hill Development purchased property at 13420 E. Broadway Avenue in
the Spokane Valley with intent to build a 55+community consisting of single-story townhomes.This particular property was zoned
R4,which fit our needs perfectly for construction&development. When purchasing the adjacent property at 13406 E.Broadway,
which was zoned R3,we were successfully able to change the zoning to R4 in order to match our first property.This was the start of a
successful community model for senior citizens in our city. In the summer of 2015,we were able to build the same type of a
community at 19106 E. Sprague.However,in 2016,the model of zoning in the City of Spokane Valley was changed,knowing this
would make it much more difficult for us to build another townhome complex in the future. In the prior zone of R4,we were allowed
to build one dwelling unit per every 4,500-5,000 square feet as a secure gated community.This flowed perfectly with our model of
55+townhomes that had neighborhood curb appeal and would fit the needs of a demographic that is very under-served.
In our eight year tenure of building 55+communities,we have learned that there is a massive need for seniors that want an affordable
transition from a single-family residence to same-age peer independent living,without being in a facility that costs thousands of
dollars. The amount of inquiries and our long waiting list proves just this.Our complexes are built with seniors in mind;single story,
ADA friendly,low barrier thresholds,access to individual backyards,attached garages,and a clubhouse for community events.
Currently,we can only continue to develop these property types in the current zoning regulation that takes place today,which means
we have to compete with big-time builders who care more about the maximum density allowed in order to help them pay for the high
price of the land.
Over the years,we have appreciated and enjoyed our relationship with the City of Spokane Valley. We share a common goal in
making Spokane Valley a desirable community to live in for all. It is our hope that with a new zone that fits our needs,we can
continue to develop land with our existing building model,appeasing the citizens of Spokane Valley with a quiet and enjoyable
`neighborhood' look instead of the existing multi-story,high density,apartment buildings you see today.
Thank you for your time,
trim
