WHEREAS, Fire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire tragedy of
1871 that killed hundreds of people, left thousands homeless and burned more than 2,000
acres; and in 1911 the National Fire Protection Association sponsored the first National
Fire Prevention Day as a means to observe the anniversary and keep the public informed
about the importance of fire prevention; and
WHEREAS, The City of Spokane Valley is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all those
living in and visiting our state, as fire is a serious public safety concern locally and
nationally, and homes are the locations where people are at greatest risk from fire; and
WHEREAS, Home fires killed more than 2,580 people in the United States in 2020, according to the
National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®), and .fire departments in the United
States responded to 356,500 home fires; and
WHEREAS, Smoke alarms sense smoke well before a human can, alerting people to danger in the event
of a fire, in which people may have as little as two minutes to escape safely; and working
smoke alarms cut the risk in half, of dying in home fires, and residents who have planned
and practiced a home fire escape plan are more prepared and will therefore be more likely
to survive a fire; and
WHEREAS, Spokane Valley residents should make sure their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms meet
the needs of their family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities;
and should be sure everyone in the home understands the sounds of the alarms and knows
how to respond and have planned and practiced a home .fire escape in order to be well
prepared and therefore, be more likely to survive a fire; and
WHEREAS, Spokane Valley's first responders are dedicated to reducing the occurrence of home fires
and home fire injuries through prevention and protection education; and we know that
residents are responsive to public education measures so they will be able to take personal
steps to increase their safety from fire, especially in the home; and
WHEREAS, The 2022 Fire Prevention WeekTM theme, "Fire won't wait. Plan your escape.TM "
effectively serves to remind us it is important to have a home fire escape plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Pam Haley, Mayor of the City of Spokane Valley, on behalf of the Spokane Valley
Councilmembers, do hereby proclaim the week of October 9 through 15, 2022, as
Fire Prevention Week
throughout this city, and I urge all the people of Spokane Valley to plan and practice a home fire escape
for Fire Prevention Week 2022, and to support the many public safety activities and efforts of the Spokane
Valley Fire Department, serving the residents of Spokane Valley.
Dated this 27th day of September, 2022.

3. Homeless Program Update — Eric Robison
Housing and Homeless Coordinator Robison introduced Homeless Outreach Officer, Officer Pratt, and Ms.
Amanda Boyer, the Homeless Outreach Specialist for Spokane Valley Partners. In going through the
PowerPoint slides, Mr. Robison noted that there were no Point -in -time counts last year, but the chart shows
the trends; he mentioned the unsheltered survey showing 74% of the people residing in Spokane County
prior to becoming homeless, and that 13% of the homeless people lived in Spokane Valley; he mentioned
the data collection and that about 3% of respondents reported having some sort of income. Concerning the
Police Department stats, Officer Pratt said that the information includes about eight months of data; he also
went over some of the challenges including an increasing caseload; said that he is the only officer for towing
of vehicles and enforcement of properties in Spokane Valley, and that there is a lot being done with sparse

resources. Ms. Boyer added that other challenges include no parking at the treatment centers, and that
bringing pets into a shelter is usually not permitted, which means one more barrier; she added that affordable
housing is a huge barrier even with those getting a small salary of about $950 a month, and there are no
resources to help pay rent in Spokane. Mr. Robison also noted for the men's shelter, there are time
constraints of when to enter and leave and that people cannot stay within two blocks of the shelter all day,
which presents a problem of what people do with their belongings; he also said that he is working with the
Chamber of Commerce to develop information on resources to hand out to businesses so they can better
understand what to do if they experience homelessness on their property; and Officer Pratt finished their
presentation with the accomplishments so far this year for just this team.
There was discussion about having more information on our website with Mr. Robison stating that he
monitors the inquiries; funds we contribute via the recording fee we pay to have documents recorded; that
the time is coming up for people to apply for those HHAA (Homeless Housing and Assistance Act) funds
again, and that the current Request for Proposals includes the need to spend more time in Spokane Valley;
mention from Mr. Hohman of continued discussions with WSDOT and mention of a large homeless camp
on the Department of Natural resources property near Mirabeau, and that work is in progress to get that
resolved as soon as possible. Mr. Hohman added that staff is following the policy direction Council has to
treat all equally, and that we are working to get all issues resolved as quickly as possible regardless of who
owns the property. Councilmember Woodard also discussed the HCDAC (Spokane Housing and
Community Development Committee) application for funding process, and said that if there is a Spokane
Valley issue, our representatives don't get to vote on that as it is deemed a conflict of interest. Mr. Hohman
stated that staff plans to bring a discussion to Council on the recording fees and contracting for beds within
the next few months, and Mr. Lamb noted staff is working to get further input on our action plan.
4. Potential Grant Opportunity: Electrification of Transportation Systems, Clean Energy Fund 5 — Adam
Jackson
Mr. Jackson went over the information contained in his Request for Council Action form concerning the
potential grant opportunity for the electrification of transportation systems grant, which program is funded
from the state's Clean Energy Fund and is intended to support eligible entities' participation in the state's
clean energy transition by funding projects for early state transportation market electrification adoption and
planning; and that tonight he seeks Council consensus for staff to submit a Phase 2 application and that
staff would return to Council for a motion consideration to apply for funding if appropriate. Mr. Hohman
added that there is a lot of push from the state and federal level for electrification of vehicles, but there is a
lot unknown to show if this transition will be practical and mentioned the concern with the electrical
network; he suggested we might want to look at variety of things that needs to be addressed before moving
forward with this grant application; he also noted there is probably a bigger picture to consider including
electrical companies that would need to support inventory and capacity. After further brief discussion,
including mention of several unknown factors, there was unanimous Council consensus that staff not apply
for this grant.
5. Potential Grant Opportunity: Water Quality Combined Funding Program — Adam Jackson
Mr. Jackson explained about the potential grant opportunity through the State Department of Ecology; of
the funding programs available and asking for Council consensus that staff pursue this grant opportunity
and return to Council with a proposed list of project applications, including estimated costs. There was
Council consensus for staff to proceed.
6. Proposed Amendments to Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 3.46, Consulting Services
Agreements — Cary Driskell
City Attorney Driskell gave a brief explanation of the proposed amendment to SVMC chapter 3.46
concerning the amount for contracts for services, and some edits on the exception to selection processes
language. There was Council consensus to bring this forward for an ordinance first reading.

7. Proposed Amendments to SVMC 3.47 Relating to Purchase of Goods — Cary Driskell
City Attorney Driskell went over the suggested edits to SVMC chapter 3.47 concerning purchase of goods,
equipment and supplies, most as a result of the significant increase in the cost of such goods. There was
Council consensus to bring this forward for an ordinance first reading.
8. Proposed Amendments to SVMC 2.35.010 Relating to Audit Officer Responsibilities — Cary Driskell
City Attorney Driskell mentioned that the only suggested change to SVMC 2.35.010 is to change the
auditing officer from having to perform all duties according to state statute, to having the auditing officer
be responsible for ensuring compliance of those duties. There was Council consensus to bring this forward
for an ordinance first reading.
9. Capital Reserve Fund #312 Reserves — Chelsie Taylor, John Hohman
Referring to the spreadsheet showing the allocation of 2022 General Fund Transfers to Capital Reserve
Fund #312, Finance Director Taylor explained some of the figures, including the $950,000 which had been
proposed for the Expo center, which is now proposed for Balfour Park; and the $4.5 million for City Hall
repairs, as well as the $200,000 for City Hall basement improvements. Discussion included Councilmember
Wick's mention of surface treatment and the idea of a pilot program, and whether $1 million would be
sufficient. Mr. Hohman explained that he would not recommend that much; that he would be hesitant to
gamble that $1.5 million street wear fee as we need to be careful with those funds and agreed a pilot program
is a good idea. Councilmember Wick also mentioned the snowplow replacement program and of the idea
of buying four now and putting some capital upfront; and he also mentioned the Fitness Court idea for
perhaps the Appleway Trail. Mr. Hohman remarked about the pre -manufactured restroom for Balfour Park
and that perhaps this is an opportunity to order that; said it would be a supplemental budget item.
Councilmember Peetz said she has no problem with the items discussed, and supports the $200,000 for
basement improvement; that there is space for showers and lockers and feels the staffs health should be a
priority; and agreed with the idea of discussing the snowplow replacement program. There was also
discussion about the City Hall repairs and of not wanting to short that fund. Mr. Hohman said if Council
would like a surface treatment pilot program, he and Director Taylor said staff can do that and bring that
back shortly. Councilmember Woodard said he feels the City Hall repair money is a must and to perhaps
add funds to a pilot program; but feels that it is more economical to pay for employees to join a gym rather
than have a weight room here; that he prefers to go with a pilot program, and concerning the City Hall
repairs, we already know we will find other things that need repair.
City Manager Hohman said staff will bring back a list of items for further detailed discussion; adding that
for the City Hall basement, the plumbing and venting is already installed, and there is some workout
equipment which was donated by staff, so we are not using City funds for that workout area.
10. Advance Agenda — Mayor Haley
Councilmember Woodard said he would like a report on the requirements for street scaping that is publicly
owned; he mentioned trees blocking business signs, and said he would like to see what the regulations are
within our Code and perhaps there is a need for modification. Mr. Hohman said he will look into the
development code and perhaps include an informational item in an upcoming agenda packet.
Councilmember Wick mentioned the National Fitness Campaign and having them come give a presentation
on their Fitness Campaign, which includes building outside fitness courts in parks. At least four
Councilmembers agreed to scheduling such a presentation.
11. Council Comments — Mayor Haley
There were no additional Council comments.
12. City Manager Comments — John Hohman

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT:
4. Spokane County Property Tax Process — Erik Lamb; Chelsie Taylor; Spokane Co. Assessor Tom Konis
Deputy City Manager Lamb introduced Mr. Tom Konis, Spokane County Assessor, to talk about the
functions of this office and how those valuation assessments are set. Mr. Konis explained that everything
they do is dictated by laws and policies, and Washington State Constitution Article 7 stipulates that all
properties be treated the same; he mentioned some of the other things his office does such as property
segregations, combining or splitting lots and that they assign the parcel numbers; they handle senior and
disabled persons exemptions which limit is set by the legislature at $40,000; he said that amount is adjusted

Approved by Council:
Draft
every five years and the next adjustment will be in 2025; said he is working with the legislatures to have
that figure increased; said they follow current market conditions but don't push the market; that it is based
on sales that have transpired, so if the market goes down, they will change values downward; he said things
have slowed down but prices are not dropping yet; he mentioned his office is responsible for 55 different
taxing districts with 183 tax code areas made up of property and all those things serviced by them; said the
biggest issue as taxpayers is how we are funding schools; that 55% goes to schools and 46% are toward
issues voted upon, and he reminded everyone of the McCleary decision on funding schools. A question
arose about taxes paid by apartments, and Mr. Konis said that apartments are taxed unless they qualify as
HUD or Section 8; said there is a larger percentage paid in multifamily then in single family houses and
added that the Department of Revenue dictates the level of tax exemption. To clarify, Councilmember
Woodard asked if it is possible to have, for example, a 200 unit low income or section 8 apartment complex
have a property tax rate a fraction of what other are paying, and Mr. Konis confirmed that is correct.
Finance Director Taylor then went over the TCA (tax code area) Analysis included in the Council packet,
with charts showing what taxes are paid to the County, that the largest contributors are East Valley School
District (voted) at 28%, Spokane Valley Fire District at 25%, and state school at 24%, with the City of
Spokane Valley's at 9% in one scenario, and 8% in another.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: First Ordinance Reading — STV-2022-0002, street vacation of 1,539 square
feet of an unimproved alleyway extending from Appleway Avenue.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 22.140 Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC); Revised
Code of Washington (RCW) 35A.47.020; chapter 35.79 RCW; and Resolution 07-009.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: On June 28, 2022 City Council adopted Resolution 22-013
setting the Public Hearing date before the Planning Commission; September 20, 2022 Council
Administrative Report for the Planning Commission Recommendation.
BACKGROUND: The original unnamed street was dedicated by the Corbin Addition to Greenacres Plat
in 1924. The alley was in the shape of an arc which extended from Greenacres Road to Appleway
Avenue. Portions of the alley were vacated by Spokane County Right of Way Deed no. 1994, and at this
time the west end of the alleyway which intersects with Appleway Avenue is bisected by property
boundaries. The right-of-way is unimproved and not being used by the City. The unimproved alley lies
mostly between parcels owned by Cameo Lofts, LLC. The northwest 30 feet of the alley abuts a property
owned by Major and Corinna Bambino.
The right-of-way proposed to be vacated is 20 feet wide with a varying length due to the angle of the
right-of-way. The average length is 75 feet. The total area proposed to be vacated is 1,539 square feet.
The right-of-way has remained unopened and unimproved for 98 years. The unnamed street is adjacent to
two parcels (55184.1207 and 55184.1208), owned by Cameo Lofts, LLC; and one parcel (55184.1216)
owned by Major and Corinna Bambino. During a previous BLA (boundary line adjustment) review (BLA
2021-0061) it was determined that the area to be vacated was located within the original boundaries of
Lot 34, Block 12 of the historical plat, which is the properties currently held by Cameo Lofts LLC.
Although the Bambino property is adjacent to the alley, the entire vacated area will return to the two
properties owned by Cameo Lofts, LLC since that is where the alley originated from.
The Planning Commission conducted a study session on July 14, 2022, and a public hearing on July 28,
2022. The public hearing was continued to the August 11, 2022 meeting so that additional information
regarding the access easement could be provided. Following public testimony and deliberations, the
Planning Commission voted 6-0 (one Commissioner was absent) to recommend approval of STV-2022-
0002. The findings and recommendations were approved by the Planning Commission on August 25,
2022.
SVMC 22.140.040 provides that City Council must consider the Planning Commission's findings,
conditions and/or limitations as appropriate to preserve the public use or benefit, the division of the
vacated right-of-way among abutting property owners, and last whether to require compensation for the
right-of-way and when it is to be paid.
Division of Vacated Right -of -Way to Abutting Property Owners: Although the Bambino property is
adjacent to the alley, the entire vacated area will return to the two properties owned by Cameo Lofts, LLC
RCA 1st Ordinance Reading for STV-2022-0002 Page 1 of 2
since that is where the alley originated from. Half of the 20-foot wide alley way shall be granted to parcel
numbers 55184.1207 and 55184.1208. An existing access easement across the property will be preserved
to serve the parcel 55184.1216 owned by Bambinos.
Compensation for Right -of -Way: Council adopted Resolution 07-009 to provide a policy on how and
when to require compensation. Section 1 of Resolution 07-009 states, "The cost for property received as
a result of a vacation initiated by an adjacent property owner shall equal 50% of the appraised value of
the vacated property received" Section 1(1)(b) allows the property values to be averaged if the value of
adjacent properties differs. Section 1(2) also provides that the applicant shall only be required to pay the
fee "to the extent that it exceeds the cost charged by the City of Spokane Valley to initiate the vacation
process.... " The table below presents the analysis conducted to determine the appraised value of the
vacated property.

50% of appraised value less the application fee $153.90 - $1,420.00 = ($1,266.10)
Applicant's Fee for vacated land = $0
1 Value established by the Spokane County Assessor
As shown in the table above, 50% of the appraised value for the area to be vacated is less than the
application fee and thus, pursuant to Section 1(2) of Resolution 07-009, no fee will be required from the
applicant.
OPTIONS: Move to advance to a second reading with or without further amendments.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Move to advance Ordinance 22-020 to a second reading at a future
Council meeting.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON
ORDINANCE NO. 22-020
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, SPOKANE COUNTY
WASHINGTON, PROVIDING FOR A RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION OF
APPROXIMATELY 1,539 SQUARE FEET OF UNOPENED ALLEYWAY
EXTENDING NORTH FROM APPLEWAY AVENUE, AND PROVIDING FOR
OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY RELATING THERETO.
WHEREAS, on June 28, 2022 the City Council approved Resolution 22-013 to set the public
hearing date for the Planning Commission to consider vacation of 1,539 square feet of unimproved
alleyway that extends north from Appleway Avenue; and
WHEREAS, on July 28, 2022, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and continued the
public hearing to the August 14th, 2022 meeting so that additional information regarding the existing
access easement could be provided; and
WHEREAS, following the hearing, the Planning Commission found that the notice and hearing
requirements of Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 22.140.020 had been met; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission findings and minutes have been filed with the City Clerk
as part of the public record supporting the vacation; and
WHEREAS, none of the property owners abutting the property to be vacated filed a written
objection to the proposed vacation with the City Clerk; and
WHEREAS, Pursuant to SVMC 22.140.040(D) and Resolution 07-009, since the value of 50% of
the property is less than the street vacation application fees, no compensation is required for the right-of-
way to be vacated; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to chapter 22.140 SVMC, upon vacation of the road, the City shall transfer
the vacated property to the abutting property owner of parcel numbers 55184.1207 and 55184.1208, the
zoning district designation of the properties adjoining the street shall attach to the vacated property, a
record of survey shall be submitted to the city, and all direct and indirect costs of title transfer to the
vacated street shall be paid by the proponent or recipient of the transferred property; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to vacate the above alleyway that extends from Appleway
Avenue pursuant to chapter 22.140 SVMC.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane County,
Washington, do ordain as follows:
Section 1. Findings of Fact. The City Council makes the following findings of fact:
1. The area proposed to be vacated lies between two parcels owned by the applicant. The
applicant is currently constructing a multifamily development that is taking access
approximately 50' east of the alley. The smaller triangular shaped parcel abutting the
southwest boundary of the right-of-way has an area of 702 square feet. The dimensions
leave the property undevelopable. A varying width access easement provides access to a
garage located on the east side of the structure on a parcel owned by the Bambinos (parcel
number 55184.1216). A gas line easement crosses a portion of the right-of-way and is
necessary for maintenance and operation of existing facilities. Other easements are located
outside of the right-of-way. All easements will remain. All parcels abutting the alley right-
of-way have direct access from Appleway Avenue. Due to the irregular shape of the north
portion of the alley it does not maintain a viable connection to that portion of the alley to the
northwest. Currently several vehicles that appear inoperable are parked in that portion of the
alley requested to be vacated and that portion of the alley extending west. It is evident the
Ordinance 22-020 — Vacating an alleyway extending from Appleway Avenue Page 1 of 4
DRAFT
alley is not used for public access, although testimony from Mr. Bambino, the adjacent
property owner, indicated that the alley was used for private access to the garage. A private
access easement ensures that access be maintained to the garage. The public would benefit
from the removal of old vehicles, and the development of the property in conjunction with
the multifamily complex. The vacation is expected to have no impact on the general public.
2. The area proposed to be vacated is currently unimproved and is not being used for public
access and is not required for current or future public access. Stormwater improvements are
located in Appleway Avenue and the alley is not needed for future stormwater
improvements. Since the lot to the north is under development future, stormwater
improvements and access are not anticipated
3. There is no substitution being proposed as part of the vacation. The City's review has
determined no need for a new or different public way. The alleyway is unimproved and has
not provided access to the remaining unvacated portions of the alleyway to the northwest.
All lots abutting the alley have access from Appleway Avenue and the access easement
ensures continued access to the rear of the adjacent property owned by the Bambinos. So
long as access easements are retained for the electrical facilities, the public interest is served.
The private access will be retained. The private easement has no impact on the general
public.
4. The surrounding property under development takes access from the Appleway Avenue;
Future redevelopment of the adjacent properties should not be affected as the properties
have frontage on Appleway Avenue. It is not anticipated that changes would occur in the
future that would require the use of the subject right-of-way for public access.
5. Notice of the public hearing was made by posting written notice at City Hall, CenterPlace,
and the Valley library; publishing notice in the Spokane Valley Herald, posting both ends of
the right-of-way to be vacated, and a direct mailing to property owners adjacent to the
proposed vacations. No objections by governmental agencies have been received, but the
owner of parcel 55184.1216, one of the three adjacent parcels, was concerned that the
existing access easement would not adequately provide access to the garage in the rear of his
property. A review of the access easement concluded that adequate access would be
maintained by the existing easement.
6. Resolution 07-009 was adopted pursuant to RCW 35.79.030 to set the City's policy for
imposing vacation charges. Pursuant to Section 1 of Resolution 07-009:
a. The cost for property received as a result of a vacation initiated by an adjacent property
owner shall equal 50% of the appraised value of the vacated property received to the
extent the cost exceeds the amount charged by the City of Spokane Valley to initiate the
vacation process.
i. The appraised value shall be the same as the value of an equivalent portion of
property adjacent to the proposed vacation as established by Spokane County
Assessor at the time the matter is considered by the City Council.
ii. If the value of adjacent properties differs, than the average of the adjacent
property values per square foot will be used.
Based on the average assessed value of the adjacent properties, $153.90 is 50% of the
assessed value. Therefore, $153.90 minus the $1,420 application fee equals $-1,266.10. The
unimproved portions of the unnamed alleyway is less than the application fee and thus,
pursuant to Section 1(2) of Resolution 07-009, no fee may be required from the applicant.
Section 2. Property to be Vacated. Based upon the above findings, the City Council does
hereby vacate the street or alley which is incorporated herein by reference, and legally described in
Exhibit A — Land Description.
Section 3. Division of Property to be Vacated. Pursuant to RCW 35.79.040 and SVMC
22.140.040(C), the vacated portion of the street or alley shall belong to the abutting property owners, one-
half to each, unless factual circumstances otherwise dictate a different division and distribution of the
Ordinance 22-020 — Vacating an alleyway extending from Appleway Avenue Page 2 of 4
DRAFT
street or alley to be vacated. There are three abutting owners and all of the property will become part of
parcel numbers 55184.1207 and 55184.1208 equally; parcel number 55184.1216, owned by the
Bambinos, will not receive any property as the right-of-way originated from Lot 34, Block 12, of the
Corbin Addition to Greenacres Plat which is the property owned by Cameo Lofts. The property abutting
these two parcel numbers shall be divided amongst those two parcels as evenly and practically allowed
due to the irregular configuration. The completion of the vacation shall be recorded in the record of
survey which shall be created and recorded with Spokane County pursuant to SVMC 22.140.090.
Section 4. Zoning. The zoning designation for the vacated property shall be the designation
attached to the adjoining properties as set forth within the respective property or lot lines. The City
Manager, or designee, is authorized to make this notation on the official Zoning Map of the City.
Section 5. Conditions of Vacation. The following conditions shall be fully satisfied prior to
the transfer of title by the City.
1. Initial work to satisfy conditions of the street vacation (File No. STV-2022-0002),
including all conditions below shall be submitted to the City for review within 90
days following the effective date of approval by the City Council.
2. The vacated property shall be transferred to the owner of the abutting parcels
(55184.1207 and 55184.1208) as shown on the record of survey created and recorded
with Spokane County Auditor's Office pursuant to condition 5. Such property shall
become part of each abutting parcel.
3. An easement shall be established acceptable to AVISTA for access and preservation
of existing services within the area to be vacated. The location and recording number
shall be shown on the record of survey
4. All easements shall be retained on the record of survey.
5. Following the City Council's passage of the Ordinance approving the street vacation,
a record of survey of the area to be vacated, prepared by a registered surveyor in the
State of Washington, including an exact metes and bounds legal description, and
specifying any and all applicable easements for ingress and egress, construction,
repair and maintenance of existing and future utilities and services, shall be
completed.
6. All direct and indirect costs of the title transfer of the vacated street from public to
private ownership, including but not limited to, title company charges, copying fees,
and recording fees, shall be paid by the proponent. The City shall not and does not,
assume any financial responsibility for any direct or indirect costs for the transfer of
title.
7. The zoning district designation of the properties adjoining the street to be vacated shall
be automatically extended to the center of such vacation, and all area included in the
vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the districts. The
adopting Ordinance shall specify this zoning district extension inclusive of the
applicable zoning district designations.
8. The record of survey and certified copy of the Ordinance shall be recorded by the City
Clerk in the office of the Spokane County Auditor.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION
Pursuant to Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 17.80.150(E) the Planning Commission shall
consider the proposal and shall prepare and forward a recommendation to the City Council
following the public hearing. The following findings are consistent with the Planning
Commission's decision to recommend approval of File No. STV-2022-0002.
A. Background:
1. Chapter 22.140 SVMC, governing street vacations, was adopted in September 2007 and
became effective on October 28, 2007.
2. STV-2022-0002 is a privately initiated street vacation request to vacate 1,553 square feet
of unimproved right-of-way intersecting with Appleway Avenue.
3. The Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on July 28, 2022 that
was continued to the August 11, 2022 meeting. On August 11, 2022 the Planning
Commission conducted deliberations and voted 6-0 to recommend approval of STV-2022-
0002 to the City Council.
B. Planning Commission Findings:
Compliance with SVMC 22.140.030
1. Whether a change of use or vacation of the street or alley will better serve the public.
The area proposed to be vacated lies between two parcels owned by the applicant. The
applicant is currently constructing a multifamily development that is taking access
approximately 50' east of the alley. The smaller triangular shaped parcel abutting the
southwest boundary of the right-of-way has an area of 702 square feet. The dimensions
leave the property undevelopable. A varying width access easement provides access to a
garage located on the east side of the structure on a parcel owned by the Bambinos (parcel
number 55184.1216). A gas line easement crosses a portion of the right-of-way and is
necessary .for maintenance and operation of existing facilities. Other easements are
located outside of the right-of-way. All easements will remain. All parcels abutting the
alley right-of-way have direct access from Appleway Avenue. Due to the irregular shape
of the north portion of the alley it does not maintain a viable connection to that portion of
the alley to the northwest. Currently several vehicles that appear inoperable are parked
in that portion of the alley requested to be vacated and that portion of the alley extending
west. It is evident the alley is not used for public access, although testimony from Mr.
Bambino, the adjacent property owner, indicated that the alley was used for private access
to the garage. A private access easement ensures that access be maintained to the garage.
The public would benefit from the removal of old vehicles, and the development of the
property in conjunction with the multifamily complex. The vacation is expected to have no
impact on the general public.
2. Whether the street or alley is no longer required for public use or public access.
The area proposed to be vacated is currently unimproved and is not being used for public
access and is not required for current or future public access. Stormwater improvements
are located in Appleway Avenue and the alley is not needed for .future stormwater
Findings and Recommendations of the Spokane Valley Planning Commission STV-2022-0002 Page I of 3
improvements. Since the lot to the north is under development future stormwater
improvements and access are not anticipated.
3. Whether the substitution of a new and different public way would be more useful to
the public.
There is no substitution being proposed as part of the vacation. The City s review has
determined no need for a new or different public way. The alleyway is unimproved and
has not provided access to the remaining unvacated portions of the alleyway to the
northwest. All lots abutting the alley have access from Appleway Avenue and the access
easement ensures continued access to the rear of the adjacent property owned by the
Bambinos. So long as access easements are retained for the electrical facilities, the public
interest is served. The private access will be retained. The private easement has no impact
on the general public.
4. Whether conditions may so change in the future as to provide a greater use or need
than presently exists.
The surrounding property under development takes access from the Appleway Avenue;
Future redevelopment of the adjacent properties should not be affected as the properties
have frontage on Appleway Avenue. It is not anticipated that changes would occur in the
future that would require the use of the subject right-of-way for public access.
5. Whether objections to the proposed vacation are made by owners of private property
(exclusive of petitioners) abutting the street or alley or other governmental agencies
or members of the general public.
Notice of the public hearing was made by posting written notice at City Hall, CenterPlace,
and the valley library; publishing notice in the Spokane Valley Herald, posting both ends
of the right-of-way to be vacated, and a direct mailing to property owners adjacent to the
proposed vacations. No objections by governmental agencies have been received, but the
owner of parcel 55184.1216, one of the three adjacent parcels, was concerned that the
existing access easement would not adequately provide access to the garage in the rear of
his property. A review of the access easement concluded that adequate access would be
maintained by the existing easement.
C. Conclusions:
The findings confirm that the criteria set forth in SVMC 22.140.030 have been met.
D. Recommendation:
The Spokane Valley Planning Commission therefore recommends the City Council
approve STV-2022-0002.
1. Initial work to satisfy conditions of the street vacation (File No. STV-2022-0002),
including all conditions below shall be submitted to the City for review within 90 days
following the effective date of approval by the City Council.
2. The vacated property shall be transferred to the owner of the abutting parcels (55184.1207
and 55184.1208) as shown on the record of survey created and recorded with Spokane
Findings and Recommendations of the Spokane Valley Planning Commission STV-2022-0002 Page 2 of 3
County Auditor's Office pursuant to condition 5. Such property shall become part of each
abutting parcel.
3. An easement shall be established acceptable to AVISTA for access and preservation of
existing services within the area to be vacated. The location and recording number shall
be shown on the record of survey
4. All easements shall be retained on the record of survey.
5. Following the City Council's passage of the Ordinance approving the street vacation, a
record of survey of the area to be vacated, prepared by a registered surveyor in the State of
Washington, including an exact metes and bounds legal description, and specifying any
and all applicable easements for ingress and egress, construction, repair and maintenance
of existing and future utilities and services, shall be completed.
6. All direct and indirect costs of the title transfer of the vacated street from public to private
ownership, including but not limited to, title company charges, copying fees, and recording
fees, shall be paid by the proponent. The City shall not and does not, assume any financial
responsibility for any direct or indirect costs for the transfer of title.
7. The zoning district designation of the properties adjoining the street to be vacated shall be
automatically extended to the center of such vacation, and all area included in the vacation
shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the districts. The adopting
Ordinance shall specify this zoning district extension inclusive of the applicable zoning
district designations.
8. The record of survey and certified copy of the Ordinance shall be recorded by the City
Clerk in the office of the Spokane County Auditor.
9. All conditions of City Council authorization shall be fully satisfied prior to any transfer of
title by the City.

IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
a. Public Hearing: STV-2022-0001. Street Vacation of Right -of -Way Between Mission
Avenue And Park Road
The public hearing was opened at 6:06 p.m.
Senior Planner Lori Barlow gave a presentation regarding STV-2022-0001, a City initiated
street vacation of a right-of-way (ROW) located between Park Road and Mission Avenue.
Ms. Barlow explained the process for vacating a portion of a City -owned ROW. She stated
that the notice of public hearing was posted on each end of the area to be vacated by a large
street vacation sign, it was posted in three locations within the City, written notice was
mailed to the abutting property owners, and the notice was published twice in the Valley
Herald and the Exchange newspapers.
Ms. Barlow explained that the property is in the southwest comer of the corner of Park Road
and Mission Avenue and was an alleyway in the original plat dedication. The area is
approximately 7,400 square feet and in the shape of an "L" connecting Park Road and
Mission Avenue. The area is unimproved, and the City has had to perform on -going
maintenance and weed control. The ROW is currently not serving as access to any of the
properties. There are existing utilities in the ROW including Avista & Lumen.
Ms. Barlow stated that Avista requested a 10' utility easement along the west and north side
of the alley. Lumen requested a 10' wide easement the entire length of the alleyway but
reserved the right to determine the exact location needed. However, their aerial lines in the
area are located on the Avista poles so staff feels that the easement would be the same
location for both utility companies. Those details will be spelled out in detail prior to
recording the street vacation.
Ms. Barlow explained that per the code requirements, half of the ROW vacation will be
distributed to each adjacent lot and the required easements will be established and dedicated
by a record of survey for the location.
Ms. Barlow explained the review criteria outlined in the code and the staff determination
based on review of that criteria. The staff analysis determined that the City does not have a
need for the ROW. She also stated that the City had not received any written objections to
the vacation (but did have a telephone conversation with the property owner of lot 5 who was
concerned about losing access to his back gate).
Commissioner Robinson asked if the public survey would be conducted and paid for by the
City (not the responsibility of the property owners). Ms. Barlow answered that since the
request was City -initiated, the City would be hiring the engineering firm and paying the cost
of the survey and any associated recording fees.
A public comment was read into the record by Planning Commission Secretary Marianne
Lemons for Susan Welsh, the owner of Parcel #35131.0102. She stated that if the vacation is
approved, she would request a proper survey and the installation of corner pines for each
affected property to prevent any discrepancies or disputes among the property owners.
No other public comment was offered. The Public Hearing was closed at 6:18 p.m.
Commissioner Delucchi asked if the City considered fencing off the area rather than vacating
it. Ms. Barlow responded that it is not customary to fence ROW because ROW's need to be
07-E4-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 4
accessible to the public and utility companies. Also, fencing would not alleviate the City
responsibility of maintenance of the ROW.
Commissioner Beaulac expressed concern that the City did not receive any public comment.
He stated that he would like to hear from the residents that live there before approving the
vacation. Ms. Barlow responded that the street vacation request was initiated due to
complaints by the property owners and the City's trouble maintaining the area. If the
vacation request is granted; it will absolve the City from maintenance and the property
owners will be able to fence and use the property for storage.
Commissioner Granrath commented that the area will be vacated but it will be turned into a
utility easement instead of a City -maintained alleyway. Commissioner Haneke mentioned
that the extra square footage given to the property owners will allow them to build slightly
bigger buildings (if wanted) due to the larger area for setbacks.
Commissioner Miller moved to recommend approval of STV-2022-0001. There was no
discussion. The vote on the motion was six in favor, one opposed. with Commissioner
Beaulac dissenting and the motion passed.
b. Study Session: STV-2022-0002: Street Vacation of 1,553 square feet of unimproved
right-of-way intersecting with Appleway Boulevard.
Senior Planner Lori Barlow gave a presentation regarding STV-2022-0002. She explained
that the request was for a privately initiated street vacation to vacate 1,553 square feet of
unimproved ROW intersecting with Appleway Boulevard. The property is located about.
800' west of Barker Road and is on the northside of Appleway Boulevard. It is a an
irregularly shaped segment of an unimproved alleyway that is about twenty feet wide and
extends about seventy-five feet. The ROW was recorded originally on the Corbin Addition
to Greenacres plat in 1924 but there have been several land use actions that have occurred
over the years. Division and consolidated of lots have reduced the alley to a dead end. The
west end of alley does not connect to the east portion of the alley because of the turn radius.
The alley way is not currently used for access but there are utilities located in the ROW for
Avista and Consolidated Irrigation District.
Ms. Barlow stated that the applicant, Cameo Lofts, LLC is requesting the street vacation
based on the following reasons:
• Historical division and consolidation of lots have reduced the alley to a dead-end of
the west end of the alley that cannot connect to the east because of the turn radius.
• The boundaries of the bisected alley is between two parcels under the same
ownership.
• The vacation would reduce the number of access points onto Appleway Boulevard
which would remove confusion (since the alley is a dead end).
• The vacation would improve aesthetics since the alley has attracted nuisances and
abandoned vehicles.
Ms. Barlow stated that the informal staff analysis shows that the requested street vacation
does meet the criteria outlined in the code. She said that the formal and detailed report
regarding the staff review will be included in the information provided for the public hearing
on July 28, 2022.
07-14-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 4
Commissioner Robinson stated that the street vacation would improve the aesthetic of the
area.
Commissioner Delucchi asked if the rest of the alleyway is being used. Ms. Barlow answered
that the alleyway is not being used as a connector to Appleway Avenue and it will remain
unchanged.
Commissioner Haneke asked who owns the alleyway. Ms. Barlow answered that the City
owns it. Mr. Haneke stated that the alley is full of cars (many of which look inoperable).
Commissioners Beaulac, McKinley, and Miller stated that they did not have any objection to
the request.
Commissioner Granrath asked if the curb cut will remain after the street is vacated. Ms.
Barlow answered that she would confirm with City Development Engineer prior to the public
hearing.
Commissioner Haneke requested an updated picture of the site prior to the Public Hearing.
He also stated that if the alley is vacated, the access point onto Appleway should also be
vacated.
The public hearing on this matter will be held at the next Planning Commission meeting.
X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Commissioner Robinson stated that she is proud of the leadership in
Spokane Valley after seeing water issues happening in other jurisdictions. Commissioner Granrath
apologized for missing the last meeting.
XI. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Beaulac moved to adjourn the meeting at 7: 00 p. m. The vote on

b. Public Hearing: STV-2022-0002: Street Vacation of 1,553 square feet of
unimproved right-of-way intersecting with Appleway Boulevard.
The public hearing was opened at 6:15 p.m.
Senior Planner Lori Barlow gave a presentation regarding STV-2022-0002. She
explained that the request was for a privately initiated street vacation to vacate 1,553
square feet of unimproved ROW intersecting with Appleway Boulevard. The
property is located about 800' west of Barker Road and is on the northside of
Appleway Boulevard. It is a an irregularly shaped segment of an unimproved
alleyway that is about twenty feet wide and extends about seventy-five feet.
Ms. Barlow explained that a study session was held at the July 14, 2022 meeting and
noticing of the public hearing was posted on each end of the area to be vacated, was
posted in three places within the City, was mailed to property owners abutting the
vacation, and was published twice in the Valley Herald and the Exchange.
Ms. Barlow stated that the street vacation request was sent out to all associated
agencies and the City received requests for conditions from Consolidated Irrigation
District # 19 and Avista Utilities for utility easements where their utilities are located.
She explained that the water utilities are in the current easement, but Avista has a
small portion that is located outside of the current easement boundaries. She
requested that the Planning Commission add a condition of approval to grant an
easement that is acceptable to Avista to encompass all their utility lines. In addition
to the utility easements, an access easement to the adjacent property owned by Major
and Corinna Bambino will be retained.
Ms. Barlow stated that the staff analysis showed that the requested street vacation
does meet the criteria outlined in the code and staff recommended that it should be
approved with the conditions outlined in the staff report and the additional condition
for Avista.
Commissioner Haneke commented that the area is full of inoperable vehicles and
garbage that is a public nuisance. Ms. Barlow responded that the area has been
reported to the City Code Enforcement Department for determination of code
violations.
The item was opened for public comment:
07-28-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 4
The applicant, Jeremy Hopson with Cameo Lofts, LLC (Plummer, ID) stated that he
has reviewed the staff report and is willing to comply with all the required conditions
of approval (including the addition of the requirement for Avista). He explained that
the reason he is requesting the street vacation is to add some additional amenities to
the clubhouse that is adjacent to the proposed street vacation area.
The property owner, Major Bambino (Spokane Valley) stated that he is in opposition
of the street vacation because he is concerned that the vacation will eliminate access
to the lower garage area.
The property tenant, David Beech (Spokane Valley) stated that he is renting the
Bambino property and was also in opposition to the street vacation because it would
eliminate his access to the lower level of the garage building.
Commissioner Delucchi asked the applicant about the access easement. Mr. Hopson
responded that the access easement exists and was recorded in 1974. He explained
that it would be retained if the street vacation was approved, and the remaining
vacated area would be used to provide yard games for the clubhouse. Ms. Barlow
confirmed that the access easement was recorded with Spokane County under auditor
number 901810A and it will be retained as part of the street vacation process.
Commissioner McKinley asked if the access easement extends all the way to the
garage door of the building. Ms. Barlow responded that she assumed it would extend
all the way but couldn't confirm definitively.
The public hearing was closed at 7:08 p.m.
Commissioner Beaulac moved to recommend approval of STV-2022-0002, subject to
the staff conditions, including an additional condition to grant an easement that is
acceptable to Avista to encompass all their utility lines.
Commissioner Haneke stated that he did not want to recommend approval until it was
confirmed that the applicant had adequate access through the access easement.
There was a lengthy discussion regarding access to the Bambino property and if it
was adequate for the tenant to get to all areas of the property.
Commissioner Beaulac moved to withdraw his recommendation to approve motion.
There was no discussion. The vote on the motion was seven in favor, zero against,
and the motion passed.
Commissioner Delucchi moved to reopen the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. There was

easement. There was no discussion. The vote on the motion was seven in favor, zero
against, and the motion passed.

a. Public Hearing (Continued): STV-2022-0002: Street Vacation of 1,553 square
feet of unimproved right-of-way (ROW) intersecting with Appleway Boulevard.
Vice -Chairman Robinson opened the continued public hearing from the July 28, 2022
Planning Commission meeting.
Senior Planner Lori Barlow gave a staff report regarding STV-2022-0002. She explained
that the public hearing on this item was continued from the previous meeting so that
additional information could be acquired regarding access to the adjacent property. She
requested that the Planning Commission add a condition of approval (if the Commission
decided to recommend approval) to grant an easement that is acceptable to Avista to
encompass all their utility lines. She recapped that if approved, half of the vacated ROW
would be distributed to the two adjacent lots owned by Cameo Lofts, LLC and the
requested Avista easement would be established by a new Record of Survey. She also
stated that all other easements would remain in place as platted.
Ms. Barlow explained that there was a question at the previous meeting whether there was
adequate access to the adjacent property (owned by Major Bambino) that would allow entry
into the garage door that abuts the requested vacated area. She stated that there was a
recorded access easement through the Cameo Lofts, LLC property to provide access to the
Bambino property. She then said that the applicant and adjacent property owner would
provide information and photos regarding the access.
The applicant, Jeremy Hopson with Cameo Lofts, LLC (Plummer, ID) presented photos of
the property showing the access easement. He explained that he had a survey company plot
the boundaries of the access easement in relation to the adjacent garage building. He stated
that he feels the access is adequate to enter the garage and requested that the street vacation
be approved.
Commissioner Granrath asked if the applicant plans to move their fence to run along the
easement line. Mr. Hopson answered that they will be moving the fence to the boundary of
the easement if the street vacation is granted.
The property owner, Major Bambino (Spokane Valley) also presented photos of the
property. He stated that he does not feel that the access is adequate to enter the garage and
requested that the street vacation be denied.
Commissioner Granrath asked why the property owner doesn't feel the access easement
provides adequate easement. Mr. Bambino responded that he doesn't believe a large
vehicle would be able to make the turn into the garage.
The property tenant, David Beech (Spokane Valley) stated that he is the tenant renting the
Bambino property and is also in opposition to the street vacation because he needs to be
able to get large vehicles into that garage.
The public hearing was closed at 6:53 p.m.
Commissioner Granrath stated that he feels the access easement is sufficient for the
applicant to get into the property.
Commissioner Haneke expressed concern about the access easement possibly being
blocked in the future and causing a civil case between the two property owners where court
08-11-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 4
action and attorneys would have to get involved. He also expressed that he is disappointed
in how much is stored in the public ROW but he feels that access to the garage is adequate.
Commissioner Beaulac stated that he drove his car into the property and was able to access
the garage without any issues. He said that a large over -sized vehicle might have some
issues but still feels that the access easement provides adequate access.
Commissioner Robinson, Miller, & Delucchi all concurred that the easement provides
adequate access.
Commissioner Beaulac moved to recommend approval of STV-2022-0002, subject to the
staff conditions, including an additional condition to grant an easement that is acceptable
to Avista to encompass all their utility lines. There was no additional discussion. The vote
on the motion was six in favor, zero against and the motion passed.
A five -minutes break was called at 7:01 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 7:06
p.m.
b. Study Session: CTA-2022-0002 — Multi -Family Parking Regulations
Senior Planner Lori Barlow stated that CTA-2022-0003 was a City -initiated code text
amendment to update the parking regulations for multi -family units. She explained that City
Council was concerned about overflow on -street parking near multi -family developments
and wanted staff to research the cause and find out if all provided on -site parking spaces are
being used by the residents of multi -family developments. She explained that garages and
paid parking spaces are not always used to park cars but they count as part of the parking
code requirement when development occurs.
Ms. Barlow explained that the current code requires 1 to 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling
unit plus 5% of total for guests. All spaces provided, including garages or spaces that have
an extra associated fee, are counted toward the required number. The current code does not
have a reduction for Affordable Housing developments.
Ms. Barlow stated that the proposed code would require 2 spaces per dwelling unit + 5% of
total for guests. Garage and parking spaces that require an extra fee would not be counted
toward the required number. The required number of spaces would be reduced to 1 space
per dwelling unit for the developments at or below 80% Area Median Income (AMI).
Ms. Barlow said that the area Affordable Housing Providers have expressed concerns that
requiring 2 spaces per unit would make most affordable housing projects infeasible because
more parking results in higher stormwater costs, less revenue generating buildings (taxes),
larger development footprints, less space for housing, and less space for amenities. They
have stated that Affordable Housing would need an exception from the higher parking
requirement to make developments possible.
Ms. Barlow explained that the higher parking requirement would lead to the following
impacts:
• The parking requirement is land intensive so more land would be required for
developments
• There will be more impervious surface which would lead to more stormwater run-
off
08-11-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 4
• There will be increased development costs which would lead to higher rent costs.
Ms. Barlow stated that a Determination of Non -Significance of Environmental Impact and
the Notice of Public Hearing were both issued and published on August 5, 2022. The
public hearing will be held at the August 25, 2022 Planning Commission meeting.
Commissioner Robinson asked if the parking requirement will impact the R-4 zone. Ms.
Barlow answered that the change would only apply to multi -family dwellings (apartments).
Multi -family apartments are not permitted in the R-4 zone.
Commissioner Robinson asked if there are any large parcels available that are currently
zoned for multi -family residential. Ms. Barlow responded that she would research available
land parcels that are zoned for multi -family developments.
Ms. Barlow reiterated that the change would not be retroactive and would only apply to
future developments.
Commissioner Delucchi expressed concern that the requirement would not address issues
with existing facilities that don't have adequate parking for residents. She also expressed
that she thinks fee generating parking spaces should be counted toward the requirement.
Commissioner Beaulac asked if there are provisions for off -site parking in the code. Ms.
Barlow and Senor Planner Chaz Bates determined that there is a provision in the proposed
code amendment regarding off -site parking.
Commissioner Haneke expressed that he also doesn't think fee generating parking spaces
should be excluded from the parking requirement. He stated that he would like additional
information regarding affordable housing requirements (contract terms) and an outline
showing the additional costs associated with the parking changes, i.e. additional land
purchase, paving, stormwater, etc. Ms. Barlow responded that she would try to provide that
information at the next meeting.
X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: There were no Commissioner Reports.

street vacation of 1,553 square feet of unimproved right-of-way (ROW) intersecting with
Appleway Boulevard. She stated that the Planning Commission held a public hearing on

the proposed street vacation at the July 28, 2022 and the August 11, 2022 meetings. After

Public Hearing: CTA-2022-0002 — Multi -Family Parking Regulations
The public hearing was opened at 6:08 p.m.
Senior Planner Lori Barlow stated that CTA-2022-0003 was a City -initiated code text
amendment to update the parking regulations for multi -family units. She stated that a
Determination of Non -Significance of Environmental Impact and the Notice of Public
Hearing were both issued and published on August 5, 2022. A study session on this item
was held at the August 11, 2022 meeting.
Ms. Barlow explained that City Council was concerned about overflow on -street parking
near multi -family developments and wanted staff to research the cause and find out if all
provided on -site parking spaces are being used by the residents of multi -family
developments. She explained that garages and paid parking spaces are not always used to
park cars but they count as part of the parking code requirement when development occurs.
Ms. Barlow stated that multi -family developments are only allowed in three zones per the
Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC). They are allowed in Multi -Family Residential
Zone (MFR), the Mixed Use zone (MU), and the Corridor Mixed Use zone (CMU). Multi-
family developments consist of more than three units in a single building. Currently, there
are 315 acres of vacant land within the three zoning districts and 105 lots. She explained
that the current cost of building a garage stall is approximately $10,000 and a surface
parking stall is approximately $5,000. According to the assessor's data of properties in the
MFR zone, the average land cost is approximately $22 per square foot.
Ms. Barlow explained that the current code requires 1 to 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling
unit plus 5% of total for guests. All spaces provided, including garages or spaces that have
an extra associated fee, are counted toward the required number. The current code does not
have a reduction for Affordable Housing developments.
Ms. Barlow stated that the proposed code would require 2 spaces per dwelling unit + 5% of
total for guests. Garage and parking spaces that require an extra fee would not be counted
toward the required number. The required number of spaces would be reduced to 1 space
per dwelling unit for the developments at or below 80% Area Median Income (AMI).
Ms. Barlow said that Spokane Valley Fire Department submitted comments supporting the
proposed language of the code text amendment
Commissioner Robinson asked if covered carports would count towards the parking
requirement. Ms. Barlow responded that they would count towards the number of required
spaces (unless the landlord charges an additional fee to park in those spaces).
08-25-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 4
Commissioner Haneke expressed concern about only requiring one parking space per unit
for affordable housing units. He feels that this reduction will increase the street parking
problem that already exists. Commissioner Miller & Beaulac concurred that something
should be included in the code text amendment to address the current problem of parking
on the street.
Commissioner Beaulac asked if the code permits parking garages. Ms. Barlow responded
that there is nothing in the code that would prohibit parking garages.
Commissioner Beaulac asked if this requirement would apply to the Planned Unit
Development of the Painted Hills property. Ms. Barlow answered that Painted Hills was
submitted in 2015 and was vested with the regulations of the time of submittal so the new
requirements probably would not apply (this will be determined at the final time of
approval).
Commissioner Granrath asked for clarification about garage spaces. Ms. Barlow responded
that the text reads, "parking spaces within individual enclosed garages shall not be counted
when determining the number of parking spaces". She clarified that common garages could
be counted.
The item was opened for public comment. There was no public comment offered. The
public hearing was closed at 6:56 p.m.
Commissioner Haneke moved to recommend denial of CTA-2022-0002 regarding multi-
family parking regulations.
Commissioner Haneke clarified that he doesn't feel that this code text amendment will
alleviate the street parking problem. He explained that raising the requirement to two
parking spaces per unit is a good step but the reduction in parking for affordable housing
will exacerbate the existing problem because most families (even low income) have more
than one vehicle. He suggested including an additional requirement for wider streets if
parking on the street is going to be utilized or considering other solutions. He stated that he
does not want to add to the problem for future developments by not requiring enough on -
site parking. Commissioner Miller agreed that one space per unit is not enough and will
cause additional future parking issues.
Commissioner Granrath stated that he is in favor of the reduction in parking for affordable
housing because of the great need for that type of housing. He said that he thinks the
number of parking spaces should be tied to the number of bedrooms and that garages
should be included in the number of required parking spaces.
Commissioner Delucchi stated that she would like to see the number of required parking
spaces higher than the proposed number. Commission Beaulac expressed concern again
about this amendment not addressing the current problem and about making a
recommendation on the amendment without input from the development community within
the City limits about what kind of effect this will have on new construction.
The vote on the motion was five in favor and two opposed, with Commissioner Delucchi
and Commissioner Robinson dissenting. The motion carried.

STAFF REPORT DATE: July 21, 2022
FILE NO: STV-2022-0002
PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION: Street vacation request to vacate approximately 1,553 square feet
of unimproved right-of-way that intersects with Appleway Avenue.
STAFF PLANNER: Lori Barlow, AICP, Senior Planner
APPLICANT: Cameo Lofts, LLC
PROPERTY OWNER: City of Spokane Valley
PROPOSAL LOCATION: The right-of-way proposed to be vacated is located approximately 800
feet west of the Appleway Avenue and Barker Road intersection, and adjacent to parcels
55184.1208, 55184.1207 and 55184.1216; the site is further located in the SE quarter of Section
18, Township 25 North, Range 45 East, Willamette Meridian, Spokane Valley, Washington
BACKGROUND:
On June 28, 2022, City Council approved Resolution No. 22-013 to set the public hearing date for
July 28th, 2022, to consider the privately initiated request to vacate an irregularly shaped alley that
intersects the northside of Appleway Avenue.
The right-of-way proposed to be vacated is located approximately 800 feet west of the intersection
of Appleway Avenue and Barker Road. The right-of-way is an irregularly shaped 20' wide
quadrilateral area of unimproved alleyway, that extends north from Appleway Avenue 100' at the
farthest point. The right of way was dedicated by the Corbin Addition to Greenacres Plat in 1924.
Although various consolidations of lots from the original Corbin Addition to Greenacres Plat have
occurred leaving new legal descriptions, it has been shown that the portion of the alley that is
requested to be vacated lies within the original boundaries of Lot 34, Block 12 of the historical
plat. The right -of way lies between parcel numbers 55184.1207 and 55184.1208 which were
previously included in Lot 34, Block 12. If the vacation is approved, the entire vacated area
should be returned to the parcels where it originated from.
The rear portion of parcel 55184.1216 owned by Major and Corinna Bambino, abuts the north end
of the unimproved right-of-way. The Bambino's parcel has an access easement recorded by
Staff Report and Recommendation STV-2022-0002 Page 1 of 6

auditor's number 901810A that crosses the alley right-of-way and the north portion of parcel
55184.1208. The access easement will be retained if the vacation request is approved.
The surrounding site is currently under construction with a multifamily development. A single
family home that was located in the southeast portion of parcel number 55184.1207 was removed
in preparation for the multi -family development. The surrounding site has numerous easements
for water, communications, electrical and gas, but only the gas line easement and access easement
lie within the right-of-way proposed to be vacated. All easements will remain.
Cameo Lofts, LLC has requested the street vacation for the following reasons:
1. Lots in this area have been divided and or consolidated over the years which has reduced
this small section of alley to a dead-end; it is impossible to be used to access the westerly
portion of the alley due to the relation to the parcel to the west (55184.1235).
2. The limits of the alley to be vacated is the portion located between parcel numbers
55184.1208 and 55184.1207.
3. The public benefit of the vacation is:
a. One less access point to Appleway Avenue at an already congested area;
b. Eliminate confusion from a dead-end alley way; and
c. Improved aesthetics — the area has attracted nuisance and abandoned vehicles.

II. STAFF ANALYSIS OF STREET VACATION PROPOSAL
A. COMPLIANCE WITH SVMC 22.140.030
Findings:
1. Whether a change of use or vacation of the street or alley will better serve the public?
Staff Report and Recommendation STV-2022-0002
July 28, 2022
Page 2 of 6
The area proposed to be vacated lies between two parcels owned by the applicant. The
applicant is currently constructing a multifamily development that is taking access
approximately 50' east of the alley The smaller triangular shaped parcel abutting the
southwest boundary of the right of way has an area of 702 square feet. The dimensions leave
the property undevelopable. A varying width access easement provides access to a garage
located on the east side of the structure owned by the Bambino's (parcel number 55184.1216).
No comments have been received from the Bambinos. A gas line easement crosses a portion
of the right-of-way and is necessary for maintenance and operation of existing facilities.
Other easements are located outside of the right-of-way. All easements will remain. All
parcels abutting the alley right-of-way have direct access from Appleway Avenue. Due to the
irregular shape of the north portion of the alley it does not maintain a viable connection to that
portion of the alley to the northwest. Currently several vehicles that appear inoperable are
parked in that portion of the alley requested to be vacated and that portion of the alley
extending west. It is evident the alley is not used for public access and the public would
benefit from the removal of old vehicles, and the development of the property in conjunction
with the multifamily complex. The vacation is expected to have no impact on the general
public.
2. Whether the street or alley is no longer required for public use or public access?
The area proposed to be vacated is currently unimproved and is not being used for public access
and is not required for current or future public access. Stormwater improvements are located in
Appleway Avenue and the alley is not needed for future stormwater improvements. Since the
lot to the north is under development future stormwater improvements and access are not
anticipated.
3. Whether the substitution of a new and different public way would be more useful to the
public?
There is no substitution being proposed as part of the vacation. The City's review has
determined no need for a new or different public way. The alleyway is unimproved and has not
provided access to the remaining unvacated portions of the alleyway to the northwest. All lots
abutting the alley have access from Appleway Avenue. So long as access easements are
retained for the electrical facilities, the public interest is served. The private access will be
retained until the easement is vacated. The private easement has no impact on the general
public.
4. Whether conditions may so change in the future as to provide a greater use or need than
presently exists?
The surrounding property under development takes access from the Appleway Avenue; Future
redevelopment of the adjacent properties should not be affected as the properties have frontage
on Appleway Avenue. It is not anticipated that changes would occur in the future that would
require the use of the subject right-of-way for public access.
5. Whether objections to the proposed vacation are made by owners of private property
(exclusive of petitioners) abutting the street or alley or other governmental agencies or
members of the general public?

Notice of the public hearing was made by posting written notice at City Hall, CenterPlace, and
the Valley library; publishing notice in the Spokane Valley Herald, posting both ends of the
right-of-way to be vacated, and a direct mailing to property owners adjacent to the proposed
vacations. To date, no objections by the public or governmental agencies have been received.
Conclusions:
The findings confirm criteria set forth in SVMC 22.140.030 have been met.
B. COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 21 SVMC — ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS
The Planning Division has reviewed the proposed project and has determined that the project is
categorically exempt pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(2)(i) and SVMC 21.20.040 from
environmental review under the provisions of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
III.PUBLIC COMMENTS
Findings:
No public comments were received following the notice of public hearing posted on July 8, 2022
and emailed and mailed on July 8, 2022.
A Notice of Public Hearing sign was posted on July 8, 2022 on each end of the area proposed to
be vacated. Notices were posted in the Spokane Valley Public Library, City of Spokane Valley
main reception area and CenterPlace Event Center on July 8, 2022. The public hearing notice
was mailed to all owners adjacent to the area proposed to be vacated on July 8, 2022. Staff and
agencies were notified of the request on July 5, 2022 and noticed again on July 13, 2022. Lastly,
the notice was published in the Spokane Valley Herald on July 8, 2022 and July 15, 2022.
Conclusion(s):
The City has met the noticing requirements for street vacations as required in SVMC
22.140.020(F)
IV. AGENCY COMMENTS
Request for comments from agencies and service providers was sent on July 5, 2022 as part of the
initial assessment of the street vacation. Notice of public hearing was provided to agencies and
service providers again on July 13, 2022. Comments were received from the following agencies
and are attached as exhibits to this staff report. Where necessary, comments have been

Findings:
The application was routed to jurisdictional agencies, utilities, and public districts for review and
comment.
Avista has both gas and electric distribution facilities within the right-of-way and requests the
existing easement be preserved in the entire alleyway; Consolidated Water District noted that
facilities were still located in the following easements: #68847C, #85338C, and #7405130015.
All easements are in place, and will remain. However, it is worth noting that the water district
easements are located outside of the area requested to be vacated.
Comcast commented directly to the applicant. The correspondence was included with the
application and indicated they had no issue with the street vacation.
Conclusion(s):
Staff concludes that jurisdictional agencies, utilities, and or public districts have no concerns
regarding the proposed street vacation of the alley way intersecting with Appleway Avenue so
long as easements are retained.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration — Potential Grant Opportunity -Water Quality
Combined Funding Program
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35.77.010: Six Year Transportation Improvement Program
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
• October 7, 2014 — Info report on Ecology Stormwater Grant Opportunities
• October 21, 2014 — Administrative Report discussing Washington State Department of
Ecology stormwater grant opportunities resulting in consensus to apply for grants.
• October 11, 2016 — Administrative Report discussing Washington State Department of
Ecology stormwater grant opportunities resulting in consensus to apply for grants.
• May 28, 2019 — Council authorized execution of Water Quality Financial Assistance
Agreement with the Department of Ecology
• July 19, 2022 — Motion passed to terminate Ecology grant agreement for the Sprague
Stormwater project between University Road and Park Road
• September 6, 2022 — Administrative report introducing the current funding program
BACKGROUND: On August 9, 2022, the Washington State Department of Ecology issued a
Call for Projects for the Water Quality Combined Funding Program (WQC) for state fiscal year
2024. The application combines multiple funding programs into one application process where
Ecology staff will evaluate each application received and separate them into respective funding
pots. The following funding programs are available:
• Clean Water State Revolving Fund — Loans - $250 million available
• Stormwater Financial Assistance Program — State Grants - $35 million available
• Clean Water Centennial Program — State Grants - $20 million available
• Clean Water Act Section 319 — Federal Grants - $1.7 million available
• Sewer Overflow & Stormwater Reuse Grants — Federal Grants - $11.4 million available
The program timeline is contingent on the progress made by the state's legislative session
starting in January 2023. Below is a summary of critical program dates:
• Applications Due October 12, 2022
• Issue Draft Funding Award List January 20, 2023
• Final Funding Awards July 1, 2023
• Agreement Development July 2023 thru January 2024
• Start Work no later than April 2024
Our City generally aligns most with the Stormwater Financial Assistance Program (SFAP)
grants. The SFAP requires a 15% local match to an 85% Ecology funding award. By rule, the
City is eligible for the remaining programs, but in general, we typically compete for SFAP funds.
The SFAP will fund a project's preliminary engineering, construction, or both. Any single agency
is limited to a total award amount of $10 million. Otherwise, engineering -only or construction -
only projects do not have a maximum award.
• Engineering -only projects are intended to achieve 90% design completion and be
positioned to compete for future construction funding from the program in future years.
• Construction -only projects must have an Ecology -approved design report.
• If an application proposes both engineering and construction phases, the total eligible
cost is limited to $300,000. This means the maximum SFAP award is 85% of that total
cost, or $255,000. This limited award is intended to limit the financial exposure of the
program and prevent projects from tying up award funds over multiple years.
City staff have coordinated with Ecology staff regarding potential project applications. As a
result, City staff recommend submitting a single construction -only application for the following
project:
Proposed Application:
Proposed Limits:
Total Estimated Cost:
Sprague Avenue Stormwater Improvements
Herald Road to Mullan Road
$2,300,000
85% Grant Request: $1,955,000
15% City Match: $ 345,000
Project Description: The project aims to improve water quality in the Spokane Valley-
Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer through the installation of Low Impact Development (LID)
techniques and best management practices (BMPs) along Sprague Avenue. The
proposed LID and BMP improvements for Sprague Avenue, between Herald and Mullan
Roads, includes the addition of grassy bio-infiltration swales and/or proprietary
bioretention systems that treat runoff before discharging to the aquifer via drywells. To
accommodate these improvements, Sprague Avenue will be reduced from five travel
lanes to four travel lanes. See Figure 1 at the end of this RCA for a proposed schematic
of the project scope. The proposed improvements would be very similar to the project
immediately east of this location, between University and Herald Roads.
The proposed project stems from the 2016, Ecology -funded, parent Sprague Avenue
Stormwater project spanning from University Road to Park Road. The parent project has
an Ecology -approved Design Report and is eligible for construction funding. The total
cost of the parent -project is estimated at $5.5 million. Staff believe this project to be too
large of a project cost for the available program funds and have identified an incremental
segment of the project to submit for funding. Ecology has concurred with staff that the
proposed project is eligible as the Design Report for the entire corridor has been
approved.
OPTIONS: Proceed with the proposed motion as written or take other appropriate action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager or designee to
apply for the Sprague Avenue Stormwater Improvement project between Herald Road and
Mullan Road.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The Stormwater Management Fund #402 or Aquifer
Protection Area Fund #403 is expected to generate sufficient local funds over the programmed
years of 2023, 2024, and 2025 to satisfy the 15% local match of $345,000.

BACKGROUND: After extensive presentations and discussions regarding a number of tourism and
economic development studies, Council took several actions in 2020 and 2021 towards funding an Expo
Center Expansion Project at the Spokane County Fairgrounds. As a result, on May 18, 2021, the City was
awarded $750,000 from the legislature for the project. Only a limited amount of funds (less than 5%) could
be used for design purposes. The City actively pursued this project as a means of improving the hospitality
and tourism environment as the region was suffering from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Various
funding opportunities were investigated which resulted in Council designating $1 million towards design
efforts from the Capital Reserve Fund #312, a $3.5 million award from the Lodging Tax Process in 2021,
and an application to the federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) for a funding opportunity
through the American Rescue Plan Act Travel, Tourism and Outdoor Recreation grant program (ARPA
Tourism). The application was based on 2018 cost estimates of $10 million for the project.
On January 12, 2022, the City entered into a contract with OAC Services, Inc. for project management and
owner's representative services for the Expo Expansion project. In response to the EDA's comment
regarding cost estimates and conversations with OAC, the City requested OAC to review the 2018 cost
estimates used in the EDA grant application. OAC estimated, based on construction market conditions at
the beginning of 2022, that the project cost had increased at least $4 million, resulting in a then cost of the
Expo Expansion project of at least $14 million. Prices have escalated since that time and the current cost of
the project is unknown. On February 22, 2022, Council directed staff to withdraw the EDA grant application
and to further study the Expo Center as part of an overall update to the City's 2017 Tourism Study.
The City's update to its 2017 Tourism Study is currently underway. This study is looking at a variety of
tourism facilities, including sports facilities such as fields and ice facilities, arts, expansion of or
improvements to the fairgrounds, and various other existing and potential tourism options. The study is
anticipated to be completed in 2023. With the withdrawal of the EDA grant application and ongoing
Tourism Study, the $3,500,000 that was awarded from the capital lodging tax funds is no longer needed for
the Expo Center Expansion Project. When the Tourism Study is completed and Council determines an
appropriate use of the money, it can then be allocated pursuant to the Lodging Tax process towards the
determined project or projects. Given these considerations, staff recommend that Council modify the
allocation to return the $3,500,000 to the general capital lodging tax fund (Fund 104) for future allocation.
As a reminder, pursuant to SVMC 3.20.020(B), the money in Fund 104 may only be used for "capital
expenditures for acquiring, constructing, making improvements to, or other related capital expenditures for
large sporting venues, or venues for tourism -related facilities, which facilities generate overnight guests at
lodging facilities...." Currently, there is an estimated available balance of $5,347,694 in Fund 104 at the
end of 2022, which includes the $3,500,000 that was awarded since no expenditures have occurred from
that funding source.
Pursuant to RCW 67.28.1817, any change in use of the revenue shall be submitted to the LTAC for review
and comment. The 2022 Lodging Tax process is currently under way and the LTAC will be meeting on
October 20, 2022, to consider recommendations. A motion to return the $3,500,000 is appropriate at this
time to allow the LTAC to review it and provide any comments back to Council as part of the standard
annual process.
If Council approves the proposed motion, staff will provide a letter in substantially the form attached, to
the LTAC at its meeting on October 20, 2022.

Spokane Valley Lodging Tax Advisory Committee
RE: Return of 2021 Award of $3,500,000 in lodging tax proceeds towards the Expo Center
Expansion Project
Dear Spokane Valley Lodging Tax Advisory Committee Members:
On September 27, 2022, at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting, the City of Spokane Valley
City Council ("City Council") voted to return the $3,500,000 in lodging tax proceeds originally
awarded for the Expo Center Expansion Project ("Expo Project") back to the "capital" lodging tax
fund (Fund 104) for the purposes provided in SVMC 3.20.020(B). Pursuant to RCW 67.28.1817,
this letter constitutes notice from the City Council of the change in use and requests any comments
from the Spokane Valley Lodging Tax Advisory Committee ("LTAC") on the return of the
$3,500,000.
In 2020, the City Council determined to focus on the Expo Project and took several actions towards
funding it. The City was awarded $750,000 from the State Legislature and City Council set aside
$1,000,000 of its general fund revenue towards the Expo Project. In 2021, the Lodging Tax
Advisory Committee voted to recommend allocating $3,500,000 of the "capital" lodging tax
proceeds (Fund 104) towards the project and City Council approved the award and allocation. The
City also applied to the federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) for a funding
opportunity through the American Rescue Plan Act Travel, Tourism and Outdoor Recreation grant
program ("ARPA Tourism"). However, in early 2022, the City hired a consultant to assess the
project and it was determined that due to significant project cost increases, the project was no
longer feasible. The City withdrew its EDA ARPA Tourism application. The City subsequently
engaged in a comprehensive tourism study to analyze the feasibility of various tourism -related
facilities, including sports fields and ice facilities, arts facilities, expansion of or improvements to
the fairgrounds, and other existing and potential tourism options. The study is anticipated to be
completed in 2023. The City Council believes that the $3,500,000 is no longer needed for the
Expo Project at this time and prefers to return the money to the capital lodging tax fund (Fund 104)
for future allocation consideration. When the Tourism Study is completed and City Council
determine an appropriate use of the money, it can then be allocated pursuant to the LTAC
recommendation and award process towards the determined project or projects.
City Council requests the LTAC consider the return of the $3,500,000 and provide any comments
with its recommendations on the other lodging tax applications as part of the 2022 lodging tax
process.
Sincerely,
Pam Haley, Spokane Valley Mayor

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion consideration: use of Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery
(CLFR) funds for gang task force funding
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Interlocal Agreement with Spokane County and Spokane Sheriffs
Office
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Administrative report on Regional Safe Streets Task
Force on August 16, 2022; administrative report on September 13, 2022.
BACKGROUND: Police Chief Ellis provided an overview of the Regional Safe Streets Task Force
on August 16, 2022. Chief Ellis highlighted increases in gang violence and changes with additional
patrols that have been temporarily implemented this year.
Significantly, the extra patrols have been provided through overtime patrols by participating
officers from existing funding, including through the City's 2022 budgeted law enforcement costs.
The extra patrols were expected to end in September of 2022. Spokane County contributed an
additional $100,000 beginning in August, which will extend the extra patrols to approximately the
end of October or beginning of November. If Spokane Valley contributed $100,000, it would likely
extend the extra patrols until the end of the year or mid -January 2023. On September 13, 2022,
City Council had a discussion about Spokane Valley contributing an additional $100,000 towards
the patrols. Council indicated a desire that staff research the possibility of utilizing the City's
Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery funds (CLFR) for the additional funding. Staff have determined
that use of CLFR funds would be allowable. City Council previously allocated the available CLFR
funds for a number of purposes in May, 2022. One of those items was an allocation of $842,857
for law enforcement, though the law enforcement amount was originally contemplated for a variety
of technology, such as cameras and related items. The additional overtime patrols were not
included as part of the discussion of the law enforcement allocation. At this time, if Council would
like to use CLFR funds for the overtime patrols, there are two options. First, Council may decide
to keep the allocations the same and utilize a portion of the $842,857 towards the overtime patrols.
Secondly, Council may reallocate $100,000 from another allocation "bucket" towards the overtime
patrols.
If Council desires to utilize funds from the original $842,857 allocation towards law enforcement,
only consensus is required. If Council desires to reallocate an amount from another allocation
"bucket", it would require a motion since the allocations were previously approved by motion.
The City's current adopted law enforcement budget is $24,958,601.
OPTIONS: Discussion; (1) consensus to use $100,000 of the law enforcement CLFR allocation
towards extra patrols for the Regional Safe Streets Task Force; or (2) reallocate from another
CLFR allocation "bucket"; or (3) take other action deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION:
(1) If Council desires to use $100,000 from law enforcement CLFR allocation: Consensus to use
$100,000 from the law enforcement CLFR allocation towards extra patrols for the Regional Safe
Streets Task Force;
(2) If Council desires to reallocate from another CLFR allocation "bucket": Move to approve the
reallocation of CLFR funds in the amounts identified on the final spreadsheet column for the
general purposes identified therein and to use $100,000 towards extra patrols for the Regional
Safe Streets Task Force; or
(3) take such other action as Council deems appropriate.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If Council determines to contribute towards the extra patrols,
the 2022 Budget will need to be amended to account for the increase expenditures. This would
be a non -recurring expense from available CLFR funds and not incorporated into the 2023 budget.

Request for Council Action

❑ information ® admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Review of Potential and Pending Projects Worksheet and allocation of
Capital Reserve Fund #312 reserves.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: n/a
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council discussed the Potential and Pending Projects
Worksheet at the June 14, 2022 Budget Workshop and at the September 6, 2022 Council
Meeting.
BACKGROUND:
Each year the City prepares an annual budget and in the 2023 Budget development cycle,
Council will ultimately have an opportunity to discuss the budget on eight separate occasions
beginning with the June 14, 2022 Budget Workshop and ending with the scheduled November
8, 2022 budget adoption. As part of this process Council discusses the Potential and Pending
Projects worksheet and prioritizes how money in Capital Reserve Fund #312 should be
allocated.
Discussion on the allocation of Fund #312 reserves occurred at the June 14, 2022 Budget
Workshop where a draft allocation was presented to Council. The allocation spreadsheet
showed that there was $5,747,804 available in Fund #312 after reducing the allocation to the
Fair and Expo Expansion project by $950,000. The $950,000 from the Fair and Expo Expansion
was proposed to be allocated to Balfour Park with the remaining $4,797,804 being held for
repairs to City Hall. Any settlement received related to City Hall repairs would be used to
replenish Fund #312 in the future. Councilmembers also discussed some other options, such as
completing a restroom in the basement at City Hall and local road improvements.
The draft allocation was updated to include discussion items from the June 14th Budget
Workshop, and presented to Council at the September 6, 2022 Council meeting. The changes
to the allocation spreadsheet from the June 14th version were to include City Hall Basement
Improvements and Local Road Improvements to the list of potential allocation items. It also
included $200,000 as a draft allocation to the City Hall Basement Improvements which was
deducted out of the City Hall Repairs item. Councilmembers discussed additional allocation
options at the September 6th meeting, including a surface treatment pilot program, the
acquisition of snow plows, fitness courts for the Appleway Trail, and a premanufactured
restroom for Balfour Park.
Below is additional information on some of the discussion items from September 6th.
One item under consideration by Council from the meeting was allocating funds to a Local
Streets Pilot Project. Such project would entail a pilot project for alternative surface treatments
to preserve and protect pavement. The treatments may include chip seals, slurry seals,
microsurfacing, or fog seals. To develop a project, staff will coordinate with adjacent jurisdictions
regarding their use of alternative treatments and pilot projects. The coordination, which other
jurisdictions have expressed an interest in, can have a direct impact on reducing project costs
by decreasing administrative and mobilization costs for contractors.
In implementing a Local Streets Pilot Project, significant efforts will be made to include public
and Council comments. It is anticipated that public informational workshops with identified
neighborhoods will be utilized to gather information and work towards neighborhood acceptance
of a pilot project.
Another item for Council consideration is the pending grant applications related to Phase II of
Greenacres Park. The City Council approved Resolution No. 22-007 on April 26, 2022 to
authorize the City to apply to the Washington Recreation Conservation Office for a $1,000,000
Lands and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant and a $500,000 Washington Wildlife
Recreation Program (WWRG) grant. The grants both require a 50% match, though the City may
consider the other grant funding as part of the City's match. Accordingly, if both grants were
awarded, the City would only need to provide a $500,000 match. The full project cost is
provided below:
• $1,000,000 — LWCF Grant (Grant Funding Request)
• $500,000 — WWRP Local Parks Grant (Grant Funding Request)
• $500,000 — City of Spokane Valley Local Appropriation
• $40,000 — Hoopfest Spokane Organization Partnership
• $21,761 — Spokane County Conservation District Tree Canopy Program
o TOTAL PROJECT COST: $2,061,761
At the time Resolution No. 22-007 was passed, the grants did not require certification of the City
match until 2023 and so no funding source was identified for the City match funds. However,
the City has recently learned that the LWCF requires the City to certify its match by the end of
September 2022.
While the final awards have not been met, both LWCF and WWRG have provided a preliminary
ranking of grant applications. The City's Greenacres Park Phase II Project is currently ranked
number 11 out of 25 applications for LWCF Funding. The current funding limit for the LWCF
program is $14M. The ten projects that are ranked above the Greenacres project have
requested a combined total of $13,493,323. Greenacres Phase II could receive partial funding
from LWCF in the amount of $506,677 or, if another project drops off or the funding amount is
increased we could receive the full $1M. Final approval will occur on October 26, though we
may not know whether we would be in line to receive the lesser $506,667 or full $1,000,000 until
spring 2023, depending on whether another project drops.
The City's Greenacres Park Phase II Project is currently ranked number 7 out of 59 applications
for WWRP-Local Parks Funding. The Greenacres Park project requested $500,000 from
WWRP-Local Park, which places the project well within the potential funding range for the
WWRP program. The City is not required to sign and submit the Certification of Match Form for
the WWRP Program until May 2023.
Due to the grant award requirements, which are based upon consideration of the full project
outlined in the application, we likely could not scale back the project in the event we are not
awarded the full $1,000,000 LWCF grant.
Staff are seeking discussion and direction from Council on whether Council would like to fund
the $500,000 match requirement in the event the City receives the full LWCF and WWRG
funding. This direction is necessary to allow the City to determine whether it can sign the LWCF
match certification. Critically, regardless of the certification, the City is not required to enter into
either grant agreement or to make a determination to move forward with the project until 2023,
when the approval would be known and grant awards would be finalized. Money would likely not
be required until 2024 due to the timing of construction.
OPTIONS: Council discretion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Council consensus on the allocation of Fund #312
funds, either as proposed or modified.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This is one of the multitude of decisions that is part of the
budget development process that will conclude with Council's scheduled November 8, 2022
adoption of the 2023 Budget

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Admin. Report — Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste Management
Plans Update: Consultant Agreement
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
• Chapter 70A.205 RCW: Solid Waste Management —Reduction and Recycling
• Chapter 70A.300 RCW: Hazardous Waste Management
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
• November 4, 2014 — Resolution 14-011 Adopting Solid Waste Management Plan
• November 4, 2014 — Resolution 14-012 Adopting Moderate Risk Waste Plan
• June 22, 2021 — Resolution 21-003 Amending the Solid Waste Management Plan to include
a Contamination Reduction and Outreach Plan
• March 1, 2022 — Administrative Report on the Solid Waste Management Plan Update
process.
BACKGROUND:
On November 16, 2014, the City's interlocal agreement with the Spokane Regional Solid Waste
Management System expired. Prior to this expiration and in view of it, the City Council
considered options and voted to assume responsibility of managing the solid waste generated
within the City. This responsibility was progressively assumed primarily through the following
key Council actions:
• 2014 —authorizing 10-year contract with Sunshine Disposal, Inc. for University Road
Transfer Station Operation
• 2014 — adopting Solid Waste Management Plan
• 2014 — adopting Moderate Risk Waste Plan
• 2017 — authorizing 10-year contract with Waste Management for Solid Waste Collection of
Garbage, Recyclables and Compostables
• 2017 — authorizing 10-year contract with Sunshine Disposal for Solid Waste Drop Box
Services
• 2017 — authorizing 10-year contract with Waste Management for Solid Waste Drop Box
Services
Pursuant to RCW 70A.205.040 (previously RCW 70.95.010), the City was required to prepare a
coordinated, comprehensive solid waste management plan. This plan provides guidance for the
solid waste system in the City, including garbage collection and disposal, and programs for
waste reduction, recycling, organics, special wastes and the administration of these programs.
In 2014, the City's plan was developed with assistance from a consultant.
Also, pursuant to RCW 70A.300.350 (previously RCW 70.105.220), the City was required to
prepare a local hazardous waste plan based on state guidelines. This plan provides guidance
for the moderate -risk waste management system in the City, including hazardous wastes
generated in small quantities by residents ("household hazardous wastes") and small quantities
generated by businesses ("small -quantity generators"). In 2014, the City's hazardous waste
plan was developed with assistance from a consultant.
In June 2021, a Contamination Reduction and Outreach Plan (CROP) was added to our Solid
Waste Management Plan (Resolution No. 21-003) pursuant to modifications to RCW
70A.205.045.
As required in Chapter 70A.205 RCW and Chapter 70A.300 RCW, the City is required to keep
the Solid Waste Management Plan and Moderate -Risk Waste Management Plan current,
reviewed, and periodically revised .
For the updates necessary to the Solid Waste and Moderate Risk Waste Management Plans,
the City will be utilizing the services of a consultant. The City issued a Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) in March 2022 to assist the City with developing the required updates to
the City's Plans. Two consultants submitted Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) in response,
and Great West Engineering was selected as the most qualified firm to complete the updates.
The City and Great West Engineering are currently negotiating the final Scope of Work and Fee
Schedule. The preliminary Scope of Work includes the following tasks, and it is anticipated that
the consultant fee will be approximately $270,000.

Final Plan Preparation
Throughout the Plan development and adoption, which is anticipated to take approximately two
years, significant public involvement and coordination with the Department of Ecology is
required, which will be incorporated into the final Plan.
OPTIONS: Discussion Only
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion/Information only. No action is required of
Council at this time. A motion to authorize execution of the Consultant Agreement will be
presented at a future Council Meeting.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: It is anticipated that consultant costs for the plan update will
be approximately $270,000 over the next two years. There are adequate funds budgeted in
Fund #106 (Solid Waste Fund) to cover the costs.

PLANNING AND GRANTS
Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS)
In 2021, Senator Murray sponsored the South Barker Corridor projects and the City was named as a recipient of $3 million.
On July 5, WSDOT Local Programs issued funding documentation formally acknowledging this award.
On July 29, Senator Murray issued a press release announcing FY23 CDS project awards included in the Senate's draft
Appropriations Bill, which includes $5 million for the Pines Road/BNSF GSP. The federal process won't likely finalize any
bills until 2023, which gives time for Congress to revise the project list and award amounts. More to follow.
Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
In September, SRTC intends to submit a regional application to the SS4A program to create a regional safety planning
document that evaluates safety trends (based on crash data) and creates a prioritized project list for future grant program
requests. The City will participate in the local match by paying $15,000 of the $100,000 total (realized only if awarded
funding). This application will benefit Spokane Valley by furthering the evaluation of safety hazards in the region, including
the City, and help prioritize those hazards within our City. Further, it is anticipated that state and federal grant programs
will award funds based on the outcomes of the safety plan that would result from a SS4A award. More to follow.
Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE)
On August 11, USDOT announced that the City of Spokane Valley was awarded $21,689,221 for the Pines Road/BNSF
Grade Separation project. The City will work with WSDOT to finalize any contractual documents over the coming months.
More to follow.
Railway Crossing Elimination Program (RCE)
On July 6, USDOT announced its 2022 call for projects for the Railroad Crossing Elimination (RCE) grant program. This is
the first year of the new program that was primarily sponsored by Washington State Senator Maria Cantwell and was
included in the 2022 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The purpose of the RCE program is to fund highway -rail or
pathway -rail grade crossing improvement projects that focus on improving the safety and mobility of people and goods.
Because the City was awarded RAISE funding, we will not pursue RCE funds.
WSDOT's Railroad Crossing Grant Program (RCG)
Washington State Dept. of Transportation (WSDOT) announced its 2022 call for projects for the Railroad Crossing Grant
(RCG) Program. This program was primarily sponsored by Senator Padden during the state's most recent legislative session
and included as part of the Move Ahead Washington transportation package. The funding is to provide a non-federal
"match" to those agencies applying for federal funding through the USDOT's Railroad Crossing Elimination (RCE) Program
or its Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) grant program. The City was successfully awarded
$5 million; however, the grant program did not include funding from USDOT's RAISE program as an eligible match. Staff
are currently coordinating with state legislators and WSDOT staff to evaluate whether the City can utilize these non-federal
funds or if they must be returned to WSDOT. More to follow.
Transportation Improvement Board (TIB)
On June 1, 2022, the Washington State TIB issued a Call for Projects for the Urban Arterial Program (UAP) and the Active
Transportation Program (ATP). The UAP has historically funded Spokane Valley street -related projects. The new ATP
program is intended to deliver more holistic transportation projects, as related to non -motorized users, rather than
sidewalk -only improvements. On July 26, City Council authorized the City Manager to apply for the following UAP and
ATP projects: Broadway & Park Concrete Intersection (UAP), Barker Road Roundabouts at 4th and 8th (UAP), Pines
Road/BNSF GSP (UAP — only if awarded RAISE funds), and the 8th Ave. sidewalk and bicycle improvements (ATP).
Applications are due August 19 and awards are announced December 1.
WA Dept. of Ecology's Water Quality Combined Funding Program (WQC)
On August 9, 2022, the Washington State Department of Ecology issued a Call for Projects for the Water Quality
Combined Funding Program (WQC) for state fiscal year 2024. The application combines multiple funding programs into
one application process where Ecology staff will evaluate each application received and separate them into respective
5
funding pots. Potential City projects generally align mostly with the Stormwater Financial Assistance Program (SFAP)
grants. Local match must be at least 15% of the total project cost. Staff will propose application projects in September.
Applications are due October 12, 2022. Awards are anticipated in January 2024.
