The current zoning of R- 3 does not allow assisted living facilities. B. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO SEPA 1. Findings: Pursuant to Title 21 (Environmental Controls) SVMC, the lead agency has determined that the proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). The City issued a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) for the proposal on January 14, 2022. The determination was made after review of a completed environmental checklist, the application, Titles 19, 21, and 22 of the SVMC, a site assessment, public and agency comments, the Comprehensive Plan and associated Environmental Impact Statement. 2. Conclusion(s): The procedural requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and Title 21 SVMC have been fulfilled. C. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND AREA-WIDE REZONE i. The City may approve Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide zone map amendments if it finds that compliance with the approval criteria in SVMC 17.80.140(H). Page 2 of 6 Staff Report CPA-2022-01 (1) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, welfare,and protection of the environment; Analysis: The 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 102,000; in 2016 the estimate from the Office of Financial Management was 94,160.More recently, the Ciry 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 change helps meet existing and future demand; helps protect the environment by building in a developed area; helps Sunshine Health meet a needed public service in a cost-efficient manner. (2) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted plan not affected by the amendment; Analysis: The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted Plan not affected by the amendment. The Growth Management Act(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) The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies; Analysis: The proposed amendment is not in response to a change in conditions beyond the property owner's control. (4) The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error; or Analysis: The amendment is not in response to a mapping error. (5) The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. Analysis: The City has seen 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. The 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: H-G2 Enable the development of affordable housing for all income levels. CF-P2 Optimize the use of existing public facilities before investing in new facilities. Page 3 of 6 Staff Report CPA-2022-01 ii. The City must also consider the following factors prior to approving Comprehensive Plan amendments: (6) The effect upon the physical environment; Analysis: The change to MFR will allow for expanded uses including multifamily housing and assisted living facilities. The properties will have the opportunity to transition, add density and add different uses including assisted living facilities. There is no concern on effect of physical environment. (7) The effect on open space,streams,rivers,and lakes; Analysis: 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 shoreline jurisdiction, and there are no known surface water quality or quantity issues. Chapter 21.40 SVMC will ensure adequate protection of critical areas. (8) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods; Analysis: The parcels are currently vacant. A multifamily building was located on the northern parcel but was demolished in 2017. The adjacent use 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. (9) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads, public transportation, parks,recreation,and schools; Analysis: Raymond Avenue and 10`"and 116 Roads are Local Access streets. There are no planned transportation projects in the area. The nearest City recreational facility is Appleway Trail approximately 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. (10) The benefit to the neighborhood,City,and region; Analysis: The 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: H-GI Allow for a broad range of housing opportunities to meet the needs of the community. H-G2 Enable the development of affordable housing for all income levels. (11) The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land; Analysis: The proposal would add approximately one acre of MFR property. The MFR designation in this location would allow for increased options for Page 4 of 6 Staff Report CPA-2022-0 1 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. (12) The current and projected population density in the area; and Analysis: Currently, the site allows for 8 dwelling units per acre. If the proposal is approved it will allow for 22 dwelling units per acre resulting in a net increase of 14 dwelling units. The proposed change would have little impact on overall population density. (13) The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. Analysis: The MFR designation will 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. Conclusion(s): For the reasons outlined above the proposed amendment is consistent with SVMC 17.80.140(H). D. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO PUBLIC COMMENTS 1.

PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: The State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA), chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions.An environmental impact statement(EIS)must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment.The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal,if it can be done)and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS.Answer the questions briefly,with the most precise information known,or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully,to the best of your knowledge. In most cases,you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal,write"do not know"or"does not apply."Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning,shoreline,and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems,the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal,even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land.Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects.The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND AREA-WIDE REZONE i. The City may approve Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide zone map amendments if it complies with the approval criteria in SVMC 17.80.140(H). (1) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, welfare,and protection of the environment; Analysis: The 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 Rd 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 maintain the adopted Level of Service (LOS) 3.25 acres of park land for every 1,000 residents. (2) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted Plan not affected by the amendment; Analysis: The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted Plan not affected by the amendment. The Growth Management Act (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 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. The proposed amendment will not have unanticipated impacts on other areas of the Comprehensive Plan. (3) The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies; Analysis: The 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) The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error; or Analysis: The amendment is not in response to a mapping error and would not correct any error. (5) The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. Analysis: The proposed amendment will address a documented deficiency of park land in the Comprehensive Plan. ii. The City must also consider the following factors prior to approving Comprehensive Plan amendments: Page 3 of 6 Staff Report CPA-2022-02 (6) The effect upon the physical environment; Analysis: The change to P/OS 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) The effect on open space,streams,rivers,and lakes; Analysis: 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 the City's Shoreline Master Program will ensure that adequate protection of the critical areas and adjacent land shorelands are addressed at the time of future development. (8) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods; Analysis: The 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) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads, public transportation,parks,recreation,and schools; Analysis: 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 Ave 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) The benefit to the neighborhood,City,and region; Analysis: The 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 river. (11) The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land; Analysis: 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 current and projected population density in the area;and Analysis: The proposed change would have minimal impact on projected population density. Page 4 of 6 Staff Report CPA-2022-02 (13) The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. Analysis: 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-Gl 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.

PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions.An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. JNSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS; This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS.Answer the questions briefly,with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know"or"does not apply."Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.

After reviewing the documents, the Department of Ecology (Ecology) submits the following comments: Water Quality Program-Shannon Adams (509) 329-3610 The four SEPA Checklists for the four Comprehensive Plan Amendments appear to be "non-project actions" related to zone changes. Please keep in mind that future soil disturbances at the individual sites may require separate SEPA review. If any of these future projects disturb over one acre of soil and discharge off site, they may also require a Construction Stormwater General Permit. For more information in obtaining a Construction Stormwater General Permit, or for other technical assistance, please contact Shannon Adams at (509) 329-3610 or via email at Shannon.Adams@ecy.wa.gov. State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)-Cindy Anderson (509) 329-3442 Ecology bases comments upon information submitted for review. As such, comments made do not constitute an exhaustive list of the various authorizations you may need to obtain, nor legal requirements you may need to fulfill in order to carry out the proposed action.

Conclusion(s): The procedural requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and Title 21 SVMC have been fulfilled. C. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONE i. The City may approve Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide zone map amendments if it complies with the approval criteria in SVMC 17.80.140(H). Page 2 of 6 Staff Report CPA-2022-03 (1) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, welfare,and protection of the environment; Analysis: The 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 4411'Avenue and Bates Road for the purpose of expanding the City's park lands. This area was generally identified as New Park Area 3 in the 2019 Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which was developed through an extensive community engagement process.Additionally, the expansion is necessary to maintain the adopted Level of Service(LOS)3.25 acres of park land for every 1,000 residents. (2) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted Plan not affected by the amendment; Analysis: The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted Plan not affected by the amendment. The Growth Management Act(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 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. The proposed amendment will not have unanticipated impacts on other areas of the Comprehensive Plan. (3) The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies; Analysis: The 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) The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error;or Analysis: The amendment is not in response to a mapping error. (5) The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. Analysis: The proposed amendment will address a documented deficiency of park land in the Comprehensive Plan. ii. The City must also consider the following factors prior to approving Comprehensive Plan amendments: (6) The effect upon the physical environment; Analysis: The change to P/OS 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) The effect on open space, streams, rivers,and lakes; Page 3 of 6 Staff Report CPA-2022-03 Analysis: According to the City's Critical Area map, the eastern parcels are within a Geological Hazardous area identified as QuanternaryAlluvium, 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) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods; Analysis: The 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. (9) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads, public transportation, parks, recreation,and schools; Analysis: Sewer and water are available to the site. The nearest formal park is Castle Park approximately 2 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) The benefit to the neighborhood, City, and region; Analysis: The 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. (11) The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land; Analysis: The quantity and location of park land is planned for and needed as identified in the Parks Plan. A neighborhood park at this location furthers the goals of the Parks Plan and Comprehensive Plan. The site provides easy access for pedestrians, bicycles, and automobiles (12) The current and projected population density in the area; and Analysis: The proposed change would have minimal impact on projected population density. (13) The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. Analysis: 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: LU-G2 Provide for land uses that are essential to Spokane Valley residents, employees, and visitors. LU-P18 Enable public open spaces. Page 4 of 6 Staff Report CPA-2022-03 P-GI Develop, grow, and maintain a diverse and accessible park, recreation, trail, and open space system that enhances community character.

PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions.An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment.The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal(and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done)and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. ,INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS.Answer the questions briefly,with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know"or"does not apply."Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects.

The following summarizes key application procedures for the proposal. Application Submitted: November 1,2021 SEPA Determination of Non-Significance Issue date January 14,2022 End of Appeal Period for DNS: January 28,2022 Date of Mailed Notice of Public Hearing February 18,2022 Date of Published Notice of Public Hearing: February 11 and 18,2022 B. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO SEPA 1. Findings: Pursuant to Title 21 (Environmental Controls) SVMC, the lead agency has determined that the proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). The City issued a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) for the proposal on January 14, 2022. The determination was made after review of a completed environmental checklist, the application, Titles 19, 21, and 22 of the SVMC, a site assessment, public and agency comments, the Comprehensive Plan and associated Environmental Impact Statement. 2. Conclusion(s): The procedural requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and Title 21 SVMC have been fulfilled. Page 2 of 6 Staff Report CPA-2022-04 C. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONE i. The City may approve Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide zone map amendments if it finds that compliance with the approval criteria in SVMC 17.80.140(H). (1) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, welfare,and protection of the environment; Analysis: The 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 Flora and Barker Road, as well as a potential trail running from Plante's Ferry to the new park. In 2021, the City acquired the 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) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted Plan not affected by the amendment; Analysis: The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted Plan not affected by the amendment. The Growth Management Act (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 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. The proposed amendment will not have unanticipated impacts on other areas of the Comprehensive Plan. (3) The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies; Analysis: The proposed amendment does not respond to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control. (4) The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error; or Analysis: The 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 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) The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. Analysis: The proposed amendment will address a documented deficiency of park land in the Comprehensive Plan. Page 3 of 6 Staff Report CPA-2022-04 ii. The City must also consider the following factors prior to approving Comprehensive Plan amendments: (6) The effect upon the physical environment; Analysis: The proposal is a graphic change only to Figure 27. It does not directly impact the physical environment. (7) The effect on open space, streams,rivers, and lakes; Analysis: The 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 ordinance and shoreline master program will ensure that adequate protection of the critical areas and adjacent shorelands are addressed at the time offuture development. There are no known surface water quality or quantity issues. (8) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods; Analysis: The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding land uses. Generally, the potential location of the trail is within park designated property. (9) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads, public transportation,parks,recreation,and schools; Analysis: 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 areas remote and lacking services and others accessible with public services available. (10) The benefit to the neighborhood,City,and region; Analysis: The 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 northside of the river. (11) The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land; Analysis: 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 current and projected population density in the area; and Analysis: The proposed change would have minimal impact on projected population density. (13) The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. Analysis: 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 Page 4 of 6 Staff Report CPA-2022-04 the proposed amendment addresses the following goals,policies, and strategy of the Comprehensive Plan: LU-G2 Provide for land uses that are essential to Spokane Valley residents, employees, and visitors. LU-P18 Enable public open spaces. P-Gl Develop, grow, and maintain a diverse and accessible park, recreation, trail, and open space system that enhances community character. P-P5 Design parks and community facilities to provide easy access for pedestrians, bicycles, autos, and public transit. P-P8 Plan for access to parks, trails, and other open spaces in all neighborhoods. Strategy:Evaluate the feasibility of developing a public park along the Spokane River. Conclusion(s): For the reasons outlined above the proposed amendment is consistent with SVMC 17.80.140(H). D. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO PUBLIC COMMENTS 1. Findings: Staff has received no public comments to date. Comments received following the date of this staff report will be provided to the Planning Commission at the March 10,2022 meeting. 2. Conclusion(s): Notice of Public Hearing (NOPH) was published on February 11 and 18, 2022. Since the amendment is not site specific,no posting or direct mailing was done for the public hearing. E.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS.Answer the questions briefly,with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write"do not know"or"does not apply." Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects.
