Comprehensive Plan and Map Amendments:
File No. CPA-2022-01:
Proposal: A request to change the Comprehensive Clan designation and zoning for 1.03 acres Single
Family Residential (SFR)to Multifamily Residential (MFR).
Applicant: Land Use Entitlement Solutions, Dwight Hume
Ordinance 22-006:2022 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 3 of 10
Amendment Location: Parcels 45204.1436 and 45204.1435; SE 'A of Section 20, Township 25 North,
Range 44 East, Willamette Meridian, Spokane County, Washington.
Council adopts and makes the following Findings for CPA-2022-01:
1. This proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety,
welfare, and protection of the environment. The City continues to see increasing population
growth with 2020 Census estimates showing a population of just over 104,500; in 2016 the
estimate from the Office of Financial Management was 94,160. More recently, the City
adopted a Housing Action Plan that shows that seniors (age 65+) are continuing to increase
their share of the City's population. This age group includes those in need of assisted living
arrangements. Based on conversations with the applicant Sunshine Health, they are
requesting a change to MFR to meet future demand for multifamily development that can
accommodate an assisted living facility near their existing facility to the west. The proposed
change helps meet existing and future demand, helps protect the environment by building in
a developed area, and helps Sunshine Health meet a needed public service in a cost-efficient
manner.
2. This proposed amendment is consistent with chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of
the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan not affected by the amendment. The GMA adopts
14 goals to guide the development of local comprehensive plans and development
regulations. The request allows opportunity to provide an assisted living facility adjacent to
an existing development owned by the same entity. There are no transportation
improvements planned adjacent to the site within the planning horizon of 2037.The proposal
does not conflict with any other GMA goals.The amendment is not in conflict with any other
portions of the Comprehensive Plan.
3. This proposed amendment is not in response to a change in conditions beyond the property
owner's control,
4. This proposed amendment is not in response to or to correct an obvious mapping error.
The City has experienced continued population growth,especially in age segments that often
seek multifamily developments (millennials and seniors). Increasing opportunity for
multifamily development in areas that are supported by existing infrastructure provides an
opportunity to meet adopted goals, policies, and strategies for housing needs. This proposed
amendment provides an additional tool and opportunity to meet the City's housing needs.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies the following goals and policy that support the proposed
change:
a. H-G2 Enable the development of affordable housing for all income levels.
b. CF-P2 Optimize the use of existing public facilities before investing in new
facilities
5. The change to MFR would allow for expanded uses including multifamily housing and
assisted living facilities.The properties would have the opportunity to transition,add density
and add different uses including assisted living facilities. There is no concern for the effect
on the physical environment.
6. There are no known critical areas associated with the site, such as wetlands,fish and wildlife
habitat areas, frequently flooded areas or geologically hazardous areas. The parcel is not
located within the shoreline jurisdiction, and there are no known surface water quality or
quantity issues. Chapter 21.40 SVMC will ensure adequate protection of critical areas.
7. The parcels are currently vacant. A multifamily building was previously located on the northern
parcel but was demolished in 2017. The adjacent use to the west is the existing Sunshine Health
facility that provides a variety of health-related services including assisted living. West of the
existing Sunshine Health facility is Valley Christian School;to the north, east, and south are
single-family residences. All the properties except for the existing Sunshine Health facility are
designated Single Family Residential and zoned R-3. If the amendment is approved any future
development would be subject to the City's transitional provision.
Ordinance 22-006: 2022 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 4 of 10
8. Raymond Road and 10th and 11th Avenues are Local Access streets. There are no planned
transportation projects in the area. The nearest City recreational facility is Appleway Trail,
approximately '/a mile to the north. The closest formal City park is Balfour Park,
approximately one mile to the north. A project on the site would be considered infill
development. As such, the expansion of allowed uses and increased densities are supported
by the infrastructure that is in place.
Various Planning Commission members had concerns regarding adequacy of on-street parking in
the area and its ability to support future uses allowed in the MFR. Future development of the site
will be subject to development regulations in place at the time of development.
9. This proposed change would allow the property to increase density and support infill
development in an area planned for urban growth. The change will support the identified
need for housing. The change benefits the neighborhood, City, and region by supporting the
following adopted Comprehensive Plan goals:
a. H-G 1 Allow for a broad range of housing opportunities to meet the needs of the
community.
b. H-G2 Enable the development of affordable housing for all income levels.
10. This proposal would add approximately one acre of MFR property. The MFR designation in this
location would allow for increased options for development including an assisted living facility in
an area adjacent to an existing facility. The proposal is limited to a reasonable area and impacts to
adjacent Single Family Residential zones would be mitigated by the adopted transitional
provisions.
11. Currently,the site allows for 8 dwelling units per acre.If the proposal is approved, it would allow
for up to 22 dwelling units per acre, a net increase of up to 14 dwelling units. The proposed
change would have little impact on overall population density.
12. The MFR designation would support the goals and policies identified above. The amendment will
have no effect on other elements of the Comprehensive Plan, including Housing, Capital
Facilities and Public Services, Public and Private Utilities,Parks and Open Space and Natural
Resources.
13. The criteria of SVMC 17.80.140(H)are met by the amendment.
Council Decision: Change the designation for parcel numbers 45204.1436 and 45204.1435 to Multiple
Family Residential(MFR).
File No. CPA-2022-02:
Proposal:A request to change land use designation and zoning for.45 acres from Single Family Residential
to Parks and Open Space.
Applicant: City of Spokane Valley.
Amendment Location: Parcel: 55073.0458; SW 'A of Section 07, Township 25 North, Range 45 East,
Willamette Meridian, Spokane County, Washington
Council adopts and makes the following Findings for CPA-2022-02:
1. This proposed amendment to change the designation for .45 acres from SFR to P/OS bears a
substantial relationship to the public health, safety,welfare, and protection of the environment. In
2021, the City purchased the parcel from Spokane County for the river loop trail project and for
future access improvements to the Centennial Trail at Flora Road for the purpose of expanding/
increasing access to the City's park lands. This area was generally identified as New Park Area 6
in the 2019 Parks and Recreation Master Plan. These plans were developed through an extensive
community engagement process. Additionally, the expansion is necessary to achieve the adopted
Level of Service(LOS) 3.25 acres of park land for every 1,000 residents.
2. This proposed amendment is consistent with chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the
City's adopted Comprehensive Plan not affected by the amendment. The GMA adopts fourteen
goals to guide the development of local comprehensive plans and development regulations. The
proposal is consistent with the GMA goals to enhance recreational opportunities and develop parks
Ordinance 22-006: 2022 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 5 of 10
and recreation facilities. Additionally, the GMA requires a Parks and Recreation element to be a
part of the adopted comprehensive plan. The City's Comprehensive Plan adopts the Parks Plan by
reference. This proposed amendment will not have unanticipated impacts on other areas of the
Comprehensive Plan.
3. This proposed amendment does not respond to a substantial change in conditions beyond the
property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies.
4. This proposed amendment is not in response to or to correct an obvious mapping error.
5. This proposed amendment will address a documented deficiency of park land in the Comprehensive
Plan.
6. The change to POOS will not impact the physical environment. The change will result in less
intensive uses than are currently allowed in SFR reducing the potential effects on the physical
environment.
7. According to the City's Critical Area map,the parcel is not impacted by any known critical areas,
such as wetlands,fish and wildlife habitat areas,geologically hazardous areas or frequently flooded
areas. The parcel is located within shoreline jurisdiction and designated in the Shoreline Master
Program as Shoreline Residential Upland. There are no known surface water quality or quantity
issues. Chapter 21.40 SVMC and chapter 21.50 SVMC will ensure that adequate protection of the
critical areas and adjacent land shorelands are addressed at the time of future development.
8. This proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding land uses. Future development of
the park space will remedy a documented need and location identified in the 2019 Parks and
Recreation Master Plan.
9. Sewer and water are available to the site.The nearest formal park is Greenacres Park approximately
1.25 miles to the southeast,the Centennial Trail is immediately to the north,and across the Spokane
River is the newly acquired Flora Park property. The proposal will increase park land and allow
future development to access the newly-acquired Flora Park property as part of the north river loop
trail proposal.
The site is served by Flora Road, an Urban Major Collector. The existing and forecast Level of
Service(LOS)for Flora Road at this location is A-C which is within the adopted LOS;Montgomery
Avenue at this location is a local access street and does not have an adopted LOS. There are no
planned capacity or preservation projects planned in this area.
10. This proposed amendment will provide benefits to the neighborhood and City by providing an
opportunity to provide access to planned improvements on the north side of the Spokane River.
11. The quantity and location of park land is planned for and needed as identified in the Parks Plan. An
access point at this location furthers the goals of the Parks Plan and Comprehensive Plan and would
provide easy access for pedestrians and bicycles.
12. The proposed change would have minimal impact on projected population density.
13. The proposal will not have an impact on other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. In addition to
meeting the goals in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan the proposed amendment addresses the
following goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan:
a. LU-G2 Provide for land uses that are essential to Spokane Valley residents, employees, and
visitors.
b. LU-P18 Enable public open spaces.
c. P-G 1 Develop,grow, and maintain a diverse and accessible park, recreation,trail, and open
space system that enhances community character.
d. P-P5 Design parks and community facilities to provide easy access for pedestrians,bicycles,
autos, and public transit.
e. P-PS Plan for access to parks, trails,and other open spaces in all neighborhoods.
14. The criteria of SVMC 17.80.140(H) are met by the amendment.
Council Decision: Change the designation for parcel number 55073.0458 to Parks and Open Space(P/OS).

44041.9007; NE % of Section 04, Township 24 North, Range 44 East, Willamette Meridian, Spokane
County,Washington.
Council adopts and makes the following Findings for CPA-2022-03:
1. This proposed amendment to change the designation for 17.64 acres from SFR to P/OS bears
a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, welfare, and protection of the
environment. In 2021, the City purchased six parcels southeast of the intersection of 44th
Avenue and Bates Road for the purpose of expanding the City's park lands. This area was
identified as New Park Area 3 in the 2019 Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which was

area identified as Quaternary Alluvium, development of the site may require additional report or
studies. There are no known other critical areas associated with the site,such as wetlands,fish and
wildlife habitat areas, or frequently flooded areas. The parcels are not located within shoreline
jurisdiction, and there are no known surface water quality or quantity issues. Chapter 21.40 SVMC
will ensure that adequate protection of the critical areas and adjacent land use are addressed at the
time of future development.
8. This proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding land uses. Future development of
the park space will provide a documented need and location identified in the 2019 Parks and
Recreation Master Plan.

miles to the north, the Glenrose Unit of Dishman Hills is approximately 1.5 miles to west. The
proposal will increase park land and future development will enhance the park system helping
maintain the adopted LOS.
10. This proposed amendment will provide benefits to the neighborhood and City by providing an
opportunity to provide park space to the neighborhood. The expansion of park space in this area
will help the City meet its adopted LOS for park land.

File No.: CPA-2022-04
Proposal: A request to amend Figure 27—Bikeway Network to add north river loop trail.
Applicant: City of Spokane Valley, 10210 East Sprague Avenue, Spokane Valley, WA 99206.
Amendment Location: Citywide
Council adopts and makes the following Findings for CPA-2022-04:
1. This proposed amendment amends Figure 27 — Existing and Recommended Bicycle
Facilities. Figure 27 identifies planned shared use paths. In 2019 the City updated the Park
and Recreation Master Plan, which identified a potential New Park Area 6 for a new
community park on the north bank of the Spokane River between FIora and Barker Road, as
well as a potential trail running from Plante's Ferry to the new park. In 2021, the City
acquired approximately 45 acres of north bank property for a new park. This proposed
amendment formally adopts the proposed north river loop trail into the Comprehensive Plan
as contemplated in the Park and Recreation Master Plan. The public health, safety,welfare,
and protection of the environment are furthered by ensuring the Comprehensive Plan is
reflective of regional policy and current with other plans.
2. This proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of chapter 36.70A RCW and
with the portion of the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan not affected by the amendment.
The (GMA) adopts fourteen goals to guide the development of local comprehensive plans
and development regulations. This proposal is consistent with the GMA goals to enhance
recreational opportunities and develop parks and recreation facilities.Additionally,the GMA
requires a Parks and Recreation element to be a part of the adopted comprehensive plan. The
City's. Comprehensive Plan adopts the Parks Plan by reference.
This proposed amendment will not have unanticipated impacts on other areas of the Comprehensive
Plan
3. This proposed amendment does not respond to a substantial change in conditions beyond the
property owner's control.
4. This proposed amendment is not in response to an obvious mapping error.However,with the
adoption of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan in 2019 and the property acquisition of the
•
Ordinance 22-006: 2022 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 8 of 10
Flora property in 2021, the proposed amendment will add the north river loop trail as
discussed in the Park Plan and community engagement efforts.
5. This proposed amendment will address a documented deficiency of park land in the
Comprehensive Plan.
6. This amendment is not site specific as the physical location of the trail has not been formally
identified and the change would not result in effects to the natural environment. The City's
critical areas provisions(chapter 21.40 SVMC)and shoreline master program(chapter 21.50
SVMC)will ensure that adequate protection of the critical areas and adjacent shorelands are
addressed at the time of future development. There are no known surface water quality or
quantity issues.
7. The proposed policies will not have a direct effect on open space, streams, rivers, or lakes.
Chapter 21.40 SVMC will ensure that adequate protection of the critical areas and adjacent
land use are addressed for any future development.
8. This proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding land uses. Generally, the
potential location of the trail is within park designated property.
9. This is a non-site-specific amendment. While the exact location of the potential trail has not
been identified,the availability of sewer and water vary,certain potential trailheads may have
public services.It is expected that the trail,should it be developed,would function in a similar
fashion as the Centennial Trail,with some areas remote and lacking services while others are
accessible with public services available.
10. This proposed amendment will provide benefits to the neighborhood and City by providing
an opportunity to provide access to the Spokane River and recreational opportunities along
on the north side of the Spokane River.
11. The City has not adopted a Level-of-Service (LOS) ratio for trails; however, the 2019 Park
and Recreation Master Plan identifies that the City will take advantage of recreational
opportunities as they arise, and the Comprehensive Plan identifies access to the Spokane
River as an opportunity. This location along the north bank of the Spokane River offers a
unique chance to take advantage of this opportunity.
12. The proposed amendment will not have an impact on current or projected population.
13. The proposal will not have an impact on other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan.In addition
to meeting the goals in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan the proposed amendment
addresses the following goals, policies, and strategy of the Comprehensive Plan:
a. LU-G2 Provide for land uses that are essential to Spokane Valley residents,
employees, and visitors.
b. LU-P 18 Enable public open spaces.
c. P-GI Develop, grow, and maintain a diverse and accessible park,
recreation, trail, and open space system that enhances community character.
d. P-P5 Design parks and community facilities to provide easy access for
pedestrians, bicycles, autos, and public transit.
e. P-P8 Plan for access to parks, trails, and other open spaces in all
neighborhoods.
