Mr- Batts explained chat Washington state law requires that the SMP be reviewed and updated every eight years so that it remains consistent wish local and scat¢ laws. The original SMP was adopted c mprehensively in 2015 through an in-depth process. Due to that process, the current update :ncludea just the 03-114e21 Planning Commiasiort Minutes. Pega 2 0!3 items that are required by state law. The changes will have very little impact on development within the shoreline jurisdiction. Mr. Bates also mentioned that the section regarding gravel pits is not be_being emended. Gravel pits are not regulated by the SMP. However, o ethos¢ areas go through the eclamation process, they will become a part of the SMP. None o£the City's gravel pits are currently in the reclamation process_ Mr. Capron gave a presentation explaining the proposed changes to the SMP. He explained that an SMP is a set of policies and regulations required by state law to protecx the nvironmental r s of star¢ shorelines, pro ore. public a ess and a joymeht opportunities, and give priority to u s that require a shoreline location. The SMP applies to "Shorelines of the State", which are waterbodies that meet certain criteria and s' in Spokane Valley, this includes the Spokane River, Shelley Lake, and associated wetlands. Mr. Capron explained that the state Department of Ecology requires all SMP's xo be wed a ¢ry eight years. This periodic review is intended to keep SMP's current with amendments to state law, changes in local plans and regulations, and new or improved data and information_ The updated SMP must be adopted by June 3q 2021. Mr. Capron stated that during the r w process they looked at the 29 legislative endments, critical areas regulations, and the Comprehensive Plan and Municipal Code. The proposed state legislative amendments include updating definitions, a mptions, and exceptions to be cpnsist¢ni withthose in stet¢ law_ The proposed a endments to the SMP ritical areas will incorporate required City-wide critical areas ordinance updates_ These will update wctlavd buffers within shoreline jurisdiction_ It will also provide updates m the Fish and Wildlife Habitat Coxvservation areas by adding standards for habitat management plan requirements and will include riparian management zone buffers. Previously,the SMP did not have regulax:ons see up for streams that weren't shoreline. This amendment will establish those scream regulations. The City received public comment from the Department pf Fish and Wildlife stating that they have published a updated Priority Habitats 8c Species document regarding ripariav a osystem_ They request that the City work with them during any future updates to possibly include their recommendations. Mr. Capron explained that there is an additional "suggested" SMP a endment that the Eity has decided to add to th¢Fr regulations that ensures the Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) are permitted like single-{ mily residences_ This means chat any ADU requests will have to apply for a shoreline exemption, just like a regular single-family home. Mr. Bates outlined the adoption timeline. The Planning Commission will make a m¢ndation pn this matter at the March 25, 2021 meeting (agar the public comment period which closes on March 12, 2021 at Sc00 p.m.).

Housing analysis mponant ¢ � nity's housing eels tend to continually evolve based on changes in the broader economy, local demographics, and regulatory environment. The City of Spokane Valley, like other communities in the Spokane County region, has changed and grown over the years, leading to greater demand for different housing types. Analyzing housing needs is mplex because it represents a bundle of services that people are willing to or able to pay foe including sheher and proximity to other attractions (e.g-,jobs, shopping, r¢ reation); a nines (¢_g., type and quality of home ixtur¢5 antl appliances, landscaping, views); and a s to public services (e. g., quality of schools, parks). Because it is Jiff culx to all 04 these services while m ng costs, households must make tlecisions about trade-offs and crifices between beetled serwces and what they can affortl. �' - -� �� u aJ}�a- i f. • e ' f F. a r In addition, housing markets function at a regional scale, which maKes it challenging for intlivitlual jurisdictions to adequately address issues wiffiqui regional partnerships.

From 2Ol D to 2Ol 8. Spokane Valley's population grew by T%(atlding 6,055 neW residents. (Demographics S¢ciion). > The City of Spo Kane Valley needs about 6,66o new housing units by 2o3T when its population is expected 20 r ach about 109.913 people. This includes 1,463 housing nits to address housing untlerproduction o er the last decade. Around 36l units per year should be produced through 203T to meet forecast housing needs which slightly more would neetl to be built per year than the average produced from 20l O and 2019 (345 housing nits built per year). Spokane Valley should continue to support robust housing growth and advance strategies in support of housing growth for a diversity ofi housing types antl affordability levels.

Spokane Valley's millennial population (25-34 years) almost doubled, growing substantially from l O%to l5% of the population total (from 12,148 m 21,144 persons)_ Millennial population growth coultl explain the decline in Spokane valley's median age to 35.2 years by 2018, a rate below the Washingmn State and Spo Kane County's median age of almost 38 years. (County Trends Section). > Another growing sector is the senior population (66+). Ouring 20l 2-2018, seniors grew from l 3% to l 5% of the Total population settling at an estimated total of 20,91 O persons, a total s miler to the millennial population sector. Spokane County projections from 2D2D to 203D estimate that the 65+population will expand from l e% fo 22% of the total population — a trend that is consistent with other mmunities across the country. Homeownership rates increase as age increases and younger and older people e likely to live in single -person households which tend torbe smaller in size. The aging of the Baby Boomer generation (born 1946-1964) c ultl generate greater tlemand for living a istance and low -maintenance middle housing options such as townhomes. (County Trends Section). • Household in m shave increased in Spokane Valley. SpokaneNalleys median household in s for owners grew by nearly 25% between 2D12 and 2016 (from $61;8T3 io $TZ299). Renter incomes in sed too by almost l 2%from $34,41 T to $38,490 during the s time period. Overall, these trends indicate in nge pressure on the already limited supplies of moderate and middle-incomehousing (60-120%AMI) and if they ontinue, will lead to in reased Tnancial hardships for households across the City. (Affordability Section). > Population growth c upled with housing underproduction throughout Spokane Valley and the region has added pressure on an already limited housing upply and convibuted to rising housing costs. While ants have grown m e than l s% since zol o in the nits. home prices in sed by more than 48%. Thee calating ost of housing is a top concern for people f nding very few pptions of housing affordable at their income level. Home -ownership is inc 'ng becoming aut of reach and when people cannot find housing feting within their £nand al m s, they can end up becoming cost burdened, meaning they pay more than one-third of their gross income for housing. Affordable housing problems have not affected all households evenly. Low and moderate -income households have been disproportionately affected. In fact, o r 65% of extremely low-income households renting ntl owning w rely cost burdened, m mg paying more than 50%of their income on housing. In adtlition, 83% of low-income renters (30-60%). 66% law -income Housing Naafis.

Overall, ffieiow-to-moderate in a households (less than 30% of AMI) tentl to be more cost-burdenetl. (Affordability Seeiion). Spokane Valley's housing stock mostly consists of single-family detachetl homes (66%) and lacks housing diversity needed to accommodate future demand particularly associated with aging baby boomers and young households forming. The city has a low supply (9%) of '•missing middle" M1ousing (e.g., townhomes, duplexes. quad homes. and cottages) which allows morn seniors to downsize and r main in their community, while also providing m r options for working familiasao gee a Foothold in great neighborhoods. (Housing Section). Between 2012 and 2015, the share of 2 and 4-person households grew in Spokane Valley, while the number of l-person households fell. In contras; the City of Spokane's share of l to 3-person households grew. This trend shows Spo Kane Valley's housing tilting towards 2-bedroom housing and larger family -Friendly housing wRM1 at least 2 bedrooms. (Demographics Section). .

County, Washington —the City o£ Spokane Valley and the City of Spokane —gained funding through the Washington State Department of Commerce HB 1923 grant to develop housing action plans. These housing action plans include a housing needs essment� results from public engagement, analysis of key policy options,. and ndations For housing strategies to meet housing needs now and into the Future up until 203'l. An initial step in the housing action plan development process is to analyze the best a ailable data chat helps define the r nge of unmet housing needs and the depth of housing affordability Beds. This analysis should answer questions about the availability of different housing, who lives and works in the different ciHes� and whale range of housing is needed to meet pent up demand into the future. Housing analysis is an important exercise sinre housing needs tend to ntinually evolve based on changes in the broader economy, local demographics, and regulatory environment. The housusg needs assessments (Task 3) £or the CfHes. of Spokane Valley and Spokane provide as analysis of the housing supply, demand, and needs in each city nd housing trends assodated with Spokane County- Overall, nts on housing needs help. inform strategies to meet tbese needs. The reaults of the housing coneext nt were shared with each city v "fact packet" contain ng aata ana analyaia anrro..,naingt their existing housing stocK and future housing needs_ This me ndum accompanies these esults to provide additional information on data sources and analysis methods.

Most of the Bndircgs associated with the demographc trends were U¢sa4bed using the U_S.

Mos[ of the Spokane County demographic trends are based on the mbination of the Following PUMAS which cover the entire area of Spokane County: 531f1501, 5310502, 5310503, and 5310504. Data Sources ECONorthwest primarily relied on 2019 data from the Washington OFSce of Ffnanaal Marwgemen[ (DFM) to evaluate housing and demographic tr¢rtds. Where OFM data was ailabl¢ ECONorthwest relied on the U.S. Census 8ureau's Public Use Micro Sample (PUMS) data from 2012 and 2018. The I LIMS Census data provided s ra] advantages for the analysis of demographic trends. The¢ PUMS dataaet provides more detailed inFormation on housing charac[eristics (at the household lewelj and [his. helped ECONorthwesi conduct analyses that would otherwise be vrtf¢asible with o[her datasets [fiat a aggregated such as the 5-year American Community Survey (ACS) data. With the PUMS data, ECONorthwest was able to create " s-tabs" that look at the relarionsMp between multiple housing characteristics. "l'he analysis atammar�izing mvarity and household demographic trends primarily relied on the ACS PUMS 1-Year Data Eor 2012 and 2018 (source link: lit - su - dat ms.html . In addition to u mg OFM data on housing trends and a fisting housing types by siz upplemen[ed this analysis with Spokane County Assessor data. For housing market data on ¢nts and sales prices, w relied on data from [he Spokane County Assessor (retrieved in 2020) and Costar (retrieved in 2020). Costar is a proprietary data source co only used for market analysis in the real ¢state industry. In additiory w s¢d the c unty a r data to describe housing types, ages, and housing density_ The Spokane County Assessor Data includes parcel (housing lot) level irrformahon which is very fine-grained. and detailed. 'Phis dataset, oEFec¢d in ECONortM1was[ a Geographic Information System format, needed to. map trends, showsparc¢1 specific information on the home type home sales home v ]u¢� and use. For the housing demand analyaia, w relied on th¢ population projections forecasted For Lhe 2039 Forecast year which are provided in Volume V� Appendix E Population Projections City of Spoken¢ Cornprehensiv¢ Plan. "I1t¢ projections aze based on the OFM medium series Forecast for 2037 and applies the historic growth rate from 2003 through 2015 to forecast the future population of the cities and the unincorporated urbangrowth area. The employment trends analysis was based on a ral different datasets. The Longitudinal Employer -Household Dynamics (LEHD) program at tl-ie US Census Bureau provides data describing statistics. on employment, earmr.gs, and job flows. Analysis Methods Total Housing Units Needed ECONorffiwestcalculated future housing needs as the cu ni underproduction of housing plus the future needs based on 2037 household projections Without accounting. for past and CalDrent nderproducHory development targets. focused solely on future housing needa wIIl continue to underproduc¢ relative to the actual need_ F(gu ra 2_ Total Needed Housing lJNts Current Untlzrprod action Using population Forecast from OMF and the Shaping SpoRaae report, and selected Census inforniatiort� w estimate both the current. underproduction and future housing need. For this analysis we calculated the m[al future housing need as clue current underproduction of housing plus the future need based on the 203Z hoes¢hold projections. Current underproduction of housing. was calculat¢d based on the ratio of hovaing unfts produe¢d and new households formed o r time. The average household size in each city is calculated and converted to a ratio. of total housing units to households: This ratio is compared to that of the region as the target ratio. If ties ratio is low¢r� then we talc -elated the nderproduction as the number of uzvits it would have needed to. produce over time to reach the target ratio. ecorvortnwast Washington State does not have a regional approach for housing production. This approach to underproduction is simple and intuitive while using the bast available data that is both local and most sspdated_ This analysis does not differentiate between renter and o nar households and relies on average household size to convert population counts to household counts_ One drawback of ibis approach is that it does not identify the underproduction at different levels of affordability. Future housing need is calculated based on the Forecasted growth. To calcailate fumre housing ed� a target ratio of 134 ho mg units pe who sehold.

We then apply each distnbsstion of households by income to the total uxvits aieeded to get the. share of new units needed by income level. Employment Analysis Au employment analysis was c nduc[ed for two reasons_ First employment analysis and trends in job growth by industry 3s a requirements for local housing action plans. Secondly findings from access to employment analysis can help 'inform housing action strategies sud as those related to development allowances in urban cen[ers. Understanding Spokane Valley's workforce profile and c uting trends will help provide insights on the housing needs of workers today and into the furore. Factors such as job sector growth and the c[[y's commuting patterns may have implications for how many people are able to both live and work within the city. If suckv factors indicate many people are commuting into the city for work 3f could be ECONa/0lwest possible [hat the city does not have enossgh housiixg to accommodate its workforce or enough housing -matching their needs and affordability levels. We developed city -level employment estimates by 2-digit NAICS ¢odes using the LJ.B. Cerxsys Bureau's Longitudinal Employer -Household Dynamics (LEHD) Origin -Destination Employment Sta tisHcs (LODES) data- For each city, the employment estimates show the total number of residents working in each 2-digit NAICS sector in that city, the change in mployment in that sector in that city axnce 2030, and the 2018 average wages for the residents m That city is that sector. _ _ _ _ _ -. � ant Transit and auto a cess to regional employment was derived u tng 45-minute travel sheds For each mode- ECONorthw¢s[ calculated the number of joba available within these travel sheds in ach industrial sector calegory for each aty.

The approach for developing a HAP began with a nt of housing needsc public involvemen4 and analysis of xhe effectiveness of existing policies and potential updates [o key regulations. All of this irdormation collectively informs the strategic actions to be including in the HAP. A Eew of the housing strategies include modifcations to a fisting development code nd expansion of multifamily [axexernptions (METE) to encourage more housing variety and housing apply_ ECONorthwesi analyzed development feasibility of e¢rtain coda modifications. and tkte potential addition of METE program i ntives to evaluate their ¢Ffectiveness in improving the likelihood of development of iowrdtomes and multifamily apartments. A development feasibility alysis tests. tits unpact that various changes to development standards and incentive programs have on market -realistic development examples called prototypes. In addition, ECONorthwes[ provided Housing Action Plan content useful for describing the Mu1H£amily Tax Exemption (METH) Program policy updates to. consider. This memo provides the following Housing Aotion Plan sections: 1. Development Feasibility Analysis Findings 2. METE Program Overview 3.

These plarudng fools w selected due to stheir potential to boost housing production, espedally housing priced for low- to middle-iucome households.

The City of Spokane Valley currently does not have a MFTE program established. Additional detail on The MFTE program is provided in Seetion 2_ The density of r sidential buildings is partly determined by the m m density allowances that them cfpal code sets for each z e_ DeneiTy allowancestdiffer by z nd s metimes ar specific to the Type of r sidential building.

The size of the building ca also be limited by ma�dmum lot coverage. which determines the largest shard of a parcel [hat a building can be built on.

PURPOSE OF THIS ASSESSMENT The purpose of this analysis is to examine a see o£ k¢y program changes and policy levers that a help "tip" project Feasibility for trte MFTE program and regulatory changes in the City of Spokane Valley. The analysis focused on the following: R-4 zone (Townhomes): Increasing the residential density it the R-4 zone from 10 dw¢Iling units per acre (du/ac) to 15 du{ac_ Iricreasfng residential density in the R-4 zone to 22 du/ac.

An advantage o£ the RLV approach is that it does not rely on land prices a nput.

Hecause RLV is essentially a land budget, higher values indicate better development feasibility.

Because open space takes up a portion of the lots surface, it limits the number and of uxtits that can be but][ horizontally. It also c mpetes Eor space with surface parking. area_ Even for vltistory buildings that mmodate or nits. ertically, open space requirements can limit development density once the buildings reach a certain height. However, all of the apartment prototypes analyzed under the current development standards of modified development standards. described above have low a ugh sidentfal density so treat open space requirements do no[ impace viability of develop ng the prototypes. Even with a density allowance of 40 dv/ac, 3-story apartments az not expected to take up more than a third of the lot, leaving plenty of space for driv¢ways, waYKways, surface parkng, ]andacaping, and open space_ Eliminatingor reducing the open space requirement would make very modest improvements in development feasibility. Any reductions in open space would likely be replaced with landscaping rather than m uruts because the limits o esiderttial density do not allow m re units To be built The improvement in development feasibility can be approximated by the difference in [tie cost of building an open space az and the cost of landscaping. '1'hsre a other suggestions For modifying the development standards that have not been analyzed with a pro forma model because they have no Impact on development feasibility. First, - ng the lot age dce of affect de elopm n[ feasibility be sidenrial adensity allowances the r rtt development standards and the modified development standards w a e testing do not allow the lot c erage of developments to reach re than 40 percent Although in mg them m lot c rage will be important when sidendal densities a e higher, it i not likely eo yield m mgful r ults in the n r Future_ Sindlazly, a higher m m lot c rage will be important if developers wantato build apartments with siruchvred parking, but each developments usually require density allowance of at least 60 du/ac. Second, ng the m m building height from so feet to 65 feet for multifamily apartments is rel¢vant for developers of apartment buildings taller than 4 stories. '['he maxim density allowances in the. current development standards can be reached with a 3-story or 4-story building, thus the ihcrease in maximum height vs not tested in the feasibility assessment. Third, de ing the m lot s ze £or to nho s from 4,300 squ a feet to 2,ODD squ a fee[ of directry tested because m-nimum lots requirements. a in s aye, equivalent to m density requirements, A m m lot s of 4,3DD square feet Implies 10.1 dv/ac (_ 43,560 squaze Feet per a e / 4,3D0 square feet per unit) and a m�..•�um lots of 2,000 square feet implies 21 .8 dv/ac (cr43,560 square feet per acre / 2,000 square Feet per unit). 'These density limits are already tested in the feasibility assessment, though the 21.6 du/ac limit is tested as 22.0 dta/ac. Minimum lot s also. be important for properties developed o mall lots. However, because 2ha smallest lot s- c [estad in the feasibility a nt is 13,068 square feet (= 43,560 square feet per acre x 0.3),tthe reduction in minimum lot size is not relevant for the analysis- ,unvi„� Y of I -..� i I i�i._ nt by Pro testy Fe Towrihomes a e barely feasible o not feasible under the c nt development standards_ Their RLVs a e $9.1 psf on 0.3-acre lots. and $6.6 psf ore 1.0-acre lots_ In c mparisoxt> the typical land price ranges between $8 psF and $10 psf. However, increasing the density aloowancas would make townhoma projects feasible. For multifamily apartments, the 12-y¢az MPTP. program i not as affective a it would be to ase density allowances to 40 du/ac. The 12-year MFTE program r s RLV by $6.9 psf, whereas in ng the density allowance from 22 dv/ac to 40 du/ac in s the RLV by $23.1 psf_ Notably, the combined effect of the 12-year MFTF program and higher r sidential density is greater than [he s of the [wo policy changes a acted independently. This is because the net bane5t of the 12-yea tMFTE program is multiplied by ilea increased number of units that becomes possible with greater density allowances.

It i object [o m ny of the a de elopm nt conditio rket-rate developm nt wi[he added somplexfty due [o lower nts requiring additional, lower -cost funding. The development process begins in predevelopmen[ (design and EeasibIIity, land entitlements, and fuxxding applications) then enters c nsir.. crioi�, before begimting operations. The following are typical development phases for regulated affordable housing projects. Design and Feasibility Affordable housing developers start with an vaderstanding of the need for less expensive housing. in an area. How many uufts are u¢¢ded at what resit level? WZsat income Z¢v¢Zs hav¢ the btgg¢st gaps iu housing suppfy? What popuiatious are struggZiug with housing costs th¢ most? Just like market rate developers, affordable housing developers test the financial feasibility of what they hope to buIId against the local political and a 'c editions. They m st es[imate what it will cost to build, what affordability levels the regfon seeds, and dre am ne of funding ailable to buIId the pxojec[. If [he pzojec[ isnot Financially or polifically feasible (i ¢., caxtnot find adequa[e funding sourres or does no[ meet a neighborhood's goals), building the housing will be rely challenging. Key challeages that are c sidered: cost of land, development allowed n the land (zoning], coats of construction, rents ox prices, cos[s of operations (for multifamily), or local opposition to the project. How do¢s affordable housing differ? Both affordable housing development and market -rate development need to go through design and feasibility. Affordable housing development differs Erom market -rate development in this stage due to limited funding. With rl.o goal of providing below -market r nis, [he financing structure (often called trre "capital stack"] of an affordable housing developmen[ needs to fill a gap (often called a "funding gap') between what it costs ro build [he property and whae the property's operations can support A market rate development will typically have investor equity and one br two Types aF debt tihancing,. but an affordable housing development may also need to score public funding, gxanrs, operating subsidies, and low-cost or Forgivable debt on top of ompetitive in estox equity s es (see exhibit below). Some affordable housing developers need to secure predevelopment locus or giants as they work out the logistics of pr jec[ feasibility. Sometimes: affordable housing developsen[s are given free ox reduced cost land, which aide feasibility and reduces the amount of debt needed_ typical Capital Stacks In a Market Rota and a 9% LiHTC Affordable Housing �ev¢iopment Egwty Investors/ oevelopar Equity Gap Financng/ MezzaN na Oeb2 LIHTC 9% 17% Long Term Debt Lantl Use Entitlements This is the process of getting control of the site (buying land o mbling parcels) and getting the legal authority to develop (zoning and pezmit[ing, design r eighborhood opposition, etc.). 21tis an take m nths rye s depending on the type of p ojccp The equ ed level of public iew, the. time i[ takes to obtain permits, the amount of neighborhood opposition, and many ocher factors. Developers typically take out pre -development loans to c r these costs, meaning that delays in carrying costs^ (the interest that accrues onthe town each month of the. process). 'I"his loan may be wrapped into or repaid by the construction loan. Haw does affordable Trousistq differ? Both affordable housing developments and market -race developments need tb secure land u ntiilements. One major way that afFordable housing development differs from market -rat¢ development in [his stag¢, is due to neighborhood opposition. It i n for neighborhoods to object to a n w affordable housing development and s may u e the slow land u entitlements process to delay o "kill" a project. Some market -rate developmengs may Eace opposition in this process, but they may also be in a better financial position to weather delays (e.g., 3f a azkeL rate developer does not need a pre -development loan, delays do not incur carrying cows). Public Funding Applications This is a unique step required of aFfordable housing development that does aot apply eo market - rate development Often, affordable housing developments r e public Evading in exchange for r ndng Lo tow -income households.

While cash Flow not always avaitable due to market rent flucruations andor vacancies, the deals are structured to seek financial returns. Development Context There a a large n tuber of interrelated va sables to c eider where affordable housing will be the most profitable for developers: among these variabl s. are: Base regulations —base density, height limits; lot cove age or floor -area ra[ios, etc. Incentives. —fee weavers, density and height bonuses, direct financial contributions, etc. Induaionary requirements —length of restrictions, set aside amounts, income levels, etc Market conditions —base teats, area annual income growth, land costs, etc. Infrastmdure —mobility (transit, roads, and trails), parks, stormwateq etc. Internal metrics —developer internal rate of return, Einanre costs, etc. ECONortM1wea[ 12 TFve diEtic4lty in balanang [base variables is that since each site, each project, and each deveYbpe; have such widely varying charac[eristics, there is no single equation that r ults in th¢provi. ion of affordable housing; each pazty can only make decisions that afFec[ [heir span of control: .
