IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
2-9-2023 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 3
a. Study Session: CTA-2023-0001 — Orphaned Accessory Structures
Associate Planner Martin Palaniuk gave a staff report. He explained that an orphaned
accessory structure is a detached accessory building that is on a lot by itself without a
permitted primary use. This normally happens in the single-family zones and tends to be a
shop or garage building that ends up on a lot by itself due to a boundary line adjustment or
subdivision. The City does not allow them outright because these structures can lead to a
commercial use of the property, can create an aesthetic problem for the neighborhood, and
can introduce unwanted traffic and activity.
Mr. Palaniuk explained that the City allows accessory structures when they are subordinate to
the primary use of the lot and permitted within the zoning district. Examples of the allowed
structures would be detached shops/garages, swimming pools, carports, sheds, & gazebos.
When a new lot is created that leaves an orphaned structure, the current code requires that the
structure must be removed prior to the recordation of the lot.
Mr. Palaniuk stated that staff would like to develop language and criteria that would allow an
orphaned structure to remain until a primary use can be established. He outlined that
proposed options would be to require financial surety, to codify a possible work -around, or
allow an orphaned accessory use outright.
Mr. Palaniuk explained that the City has developed a "work around" that allows the land use
action to happen when the property owner desires to keep an orphaned accessory structure.
The work around requires that the developer submit a building permit for a primary use on the
lot with the accessory building just prior to recording the land use action. Once the action is
recorded the developer has six weeks to begin construction of the primary use. The work
around is problematic, complicated, and requires coordination and follow-up over an extended
period. This often results in code compliance issues and is not codified in the Spokane Valley
Municipal Code (SVMC).
Mr. Palaniuk stated that another option is to require a financial surety be submitted to the City
that would cover the demolition of the structure if a primary use is not established. This surety
amount would be required at the time of final plat recordation and covers the City if compliance
is not achieved.
Mr. Palaniuk asked for direction from the Planning Commission regarding this matter so that
staff can draft language that will be added to the SVMC.
There was consensus from the Planning Commissioners to proceed with proposed language
to require financial surety prior to final plat recordation. Mr. Palaniuk stated that he will
draft the language and bring it back for discussion and revision at a future meeting.
X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: There was nothing offered for the Good of the Order.
XI. ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Granrath moved to adjourn the meeting at 6:50 p.m. The
vote on the motion was seven in favor, zero against and the motion passed.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: 2023 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments — Study session
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A, SVMC 17.80.140 and 19.30.010.
PREVIOUS COMMISSION ACTION: None
BACKGROUND: The Growth Management Act (GMA) allows local jurisdictions to consider
amendments to their Comprehensive Plans once each year. The City codified this process in Section
17.80.140 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC). Consistent with state law and the SVMC, staff
published notice on September 2 and 9, 2022, notifying the public of the annual amendment process and
that the City would accept applications for the 2023 cycle through November 1, 2022. The notice was also
sent to all agencies, organizations and adjacent jurisdictions that may have an interest in amending the
comprehensive plan.
On November 22, 2022, the City Council approved the 2023 Docket. The Docket includes one proposed
site -specific map amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
On December 9, 2022, the City issued a Determination of Non -significance (DNS) for the proposed
comprehensive plan amendment pursuant to Title 21 SVMC, Environmental Controls. Comments on the
determination have been incorporated into the staff report where appropriate and no appeal of the DNS was
received.
A public hearing on the proposed amendments is scheduled for April 13, 2023. The Notice of Public
Hearing has not yet been published. The notice has not yet been posted on site, nor has it been mailed to
residents within a 400-foot radius. The Notice of Public Hearing will be issued a minimum of 15 days prior
to the hearing date. Tonight, staff will present the proposed comprehensive plan amendments for review
and discussion. On April 13, 2023, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the proposed
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
ACTION OR MOTION: No action recommended at this time.

C. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENT AND AREA -WIDE REZONE
The City may approve Comprehensive Plan amendments and area -wide zone map amendments
if it finds that compliance with the approval criteria in SVMC 17.80.140.H.
(1) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety,
welfare, and protection of the environment;
Analysis: The proposed amendment to change the designation for 19 acres from Single
Family Residential (SFR) and 4 acres from Neighborhood Commercial (NC) to
Parks and Open Space (P/OS) bears a substantial relationship to the public
health, safety, welfare, and protection of the environment. In 2021, the City
acquired four parcels (46351.9143, 46352.9149, 46354.9150, 46355.9151)
west and south of Progress Road and east of Forker Road. The purpose behind
the city acquiring this land was to preserve open space within the 100 year
floodplain and to expand the city's park lands. This area was generally
identified as New Park Area 1 in the 2019 Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
These plans were developed through an extensive community engagement
process. Additionally, the expansion is necessary to maintain the adopted Level
of Service (LOS) 3.25 acres of park land for every 1, 000 residents.
(2) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and
with the portion of the City's adopted plan not affected by the amendment;
Analysis: The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A
RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted plan not affected by the
amendment. The Growth Management Act (GMA) adopts fourteen goals to guide
the development of local comprehensive plans and development regulations. The
proposal is consistent with the GAM goals to enhance recreational opportunities
and develop parks and recreation facilities. Additionally, the GMA requires a
Parks and Recreation element to be a part of the adopted comprehensive plan.
The City's Comprehensive Plan adopts the Parks Plan by reference.
The proposed amendment will not have unanticipated impacts on other areas of
the Comprehensive Plan.
(3) The proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the
property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies;
Analysis: The proposed amendment does not respond to a substantial change in
conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within
which the subject property lies.
(4) The proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error; or
Analysis: The proposed amendment is not in response to or corrects an obvious mapping
error.
(5) The proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan.
Analysis: The proposed amendment will address a documented deficiency of park land
and open space in the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan identifies
the following goals and policy that support the proposed change:
P-GI Develop, grow, and maintain a diverse and accessible park, recreation, trail,
and open space system that enhances community character.
Page 3 of 7
Staff Report
CPA-2023-01
P-P2 Acquire land for the development of parks or the preservation of open space
within the City's boundaries and adjacent UGAs.
P-P3 Using the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, periodically assess recreational
facilities to identify potential gaps and improvements.
P-P7 Identify and protect regional open spaces and natural areas to form a
connected network of active and passive recreation areas.
NR-GI: Pursue food hazard reduction while providing predictabilityfor landowners.
NR-P9: Ensure that wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, frequently
flooded areas, geologically hazardous areas, and critical aquifer recharge
areas are identified, designated, and protected.
ii. The City must also consider the following factors prior to approving Comprehensive Plan
amendments:
(6) The effect upon the physical environment;
Analysis: The change to P/OS will not impact the physical environment. The change will
result in less intensive uses than are allowed in SFR and NC zones, reducing
the potential effects on the physical environment.
(7) The effect on open space, streams, rivers, and lakes;
Analysis: According to the City's Critical Areas map, most of the property is located in
the 100 year floodplain. The primaryflood zone designation that applies to
the site is AO, which is defined as an area of shallow flooding, usually in the
form of sheet flow, with an average depth ranging f rom 1 to 3 feet. Pursuant
to SVMC 21.30.090.9, all structures in Zone AO shall are required to be
elevated to one foot or more above the specified flood depth or flood -proofed
with watertight construction methods. Given the strict requirements applied to
structures in the floodplain, open fields allowing for passive or active
recreation, with no or few structures, are ideal for locations such as these.
There is also a seasonal stream (DNR Type F) located on the property that
flows into a drainage channel, which is deposited into a stormwater storage
basin where it infiltrates into the soil. The stream type and its route were
identified in a 2015 Water Type Modification. The parcels are not located
within shoreline jurisdiction, and there are no known surface water quality or
quantity issues. The City's critical areas ordinance will ensure that adequate
protection of the critical areas and adjacent land use are addressed at the time
offuture development.
(8) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods;
Analysis: The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding land uses. Future
development of the park space will provide a documented need and location
identified in the 2019 Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
(9) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads, public
transportation, parks, recreation, and schools;
Analysis: Sewer and water are available to the site. The nearest formal park is Plante's
Ferry Park (Spokane County Parks) approximately 2 miles to the southwest.
The proposal will increase park land and future development will enhance the
park system helping maintain the adopted LOS.
Page 4 of 7
Staff Report CPA-2023-01
The site is served by Progress Road and Forker Road, both Minor Arterials, on
the north and west exteriors of the site. The site also has frontage along Bigelow
Gulch Road to the east. A realignment ofBigelow Gulch Road and an extension
of Sullivan Road has recently finished construction. There are no
determinations for Levels of Service (LOS) of roadways adjacent to the site
since these are located outside municipal boundaries.
(10) The benefit to the neighborhood, City, and region;
Analysis: The proposed amendment will provide benefits to the neighborhood and City
by providing an opportunity to provide park space to the neighborhood
without the need to leave the area. Plante's Ferry Park, the nearest formal
public park, is outside municipal boundaries and maintained by Spokane
County; therefore, it is not considered in determining the LOS for park land.
This will provide new City -owned and maintained park space for residents
underserved by the municipal park system. The expansion ofpark space in
this area will help the City meet its adopted LOS for park land.
(11) The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and
the demand for such land;
Analysis: The quantity and location ofpark land is planned for and needed as identified
in the Parks Plan. A park at this location f rthers the goals of the Parks Plan
and Comprehensive Plan. The site provides easy access for pedestrians,
bicycles, and automobiles.
(12) The current and projected population density in the area; and
Analysis: The proposed change would have minimal impact on projected population
density. Development of the property is severely limited due to being in the
I00 year fioodplain and being encumbered by an easement for Bonneville
Power Administration (BPA).
(13) The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan.
Analysis: The proposal will not have an impact on other aspects of the Comprehensive
Plan. In addition to meeting the goals in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan
the proposed amendment addresses the following goals, policies, and strategy
ofthe Comprehensive Plan:
LU-G2
Provide for land uses that are essential to Spokane Valley residents,
employees, and visitors.
LU-P18
Enable public open spaces.
P-GI
Develop, grow, and maintain a diverse and accessible park,
recreation, trail, and open space system that enhances community
character.
P-P2
Acquire land for the development of parks or the preservation of
open space within the City's boundaries and adjacent UGAs.
P-P3
Using the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, periodically assess
recreational facilities to identify potential gaps and improvements.
P-P5
Design parks and community facilities to provide easy access for
pedestrians, bicycles, autos, and public transit.
P-P8
Plan for access to parks, trails, and other open spaces in all
neighborhoods.
NR-GI
Pursue food hazard reduction while providing predictability for
landowners.
Page 5 of 7
Staff Report CPA-2023-01
NR-P2 Prepare and/or regularly update watershed plans for Chester
Creek, Glenrose Channel, Saltese Creek, Forker Draw, and Central
Park Basin.
NR-P3 Prepare an accurate, updated map of areas expected to be
inundated by a 100 year food, particularly in the Spokane River,
Forker Draw, and Glenrose Channel Areas.
NR-P9 Ensure that wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas,
frequentlyfooded areas, geologically hazardous areas, and critical
aquifer recharge areas are identified, designated, and protected.

PART I — REQUIRED MATERIAL
"THE APPLICATION WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IF THE REQUIRED MATERIALS ARE NOT
PROVIDED"
❑ Completed SEPA Checklist
❑ Application Fee
❑ Reduced Site Plan of proposal in 8%" by 11" or 11" by 17" size
❑ Trip Distribution and Generation Letter, if requested by Development Engineering.
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST:
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider
the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An environmental impact statement (EIS) must
be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The
purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal
(and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS
is required.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental
agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant,
requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the
best description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you
should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire
experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not
know" or "does not apply." Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations.
Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on
different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its
environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or
provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NON -PROJECT PROPOSALS:
Complete this checklist for non -project proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply."
IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NON -PROJECT ACTIONS (Part D).

disposal of stormwater or drainage from floor drains). Describe the type of system, the amount of
materials to be disposed of through the system and the types of material likely to be disposed of
(including materials which may enter the system inadvertently through spills or as a result of
firefighting activities). This is a non -project action changing the future land use map. Future
development would be analyzed under separate SEPA process.
2. Will any chemicals (especially organic solvents or petroleum fuels) be stored in aboveground or
underground storage tanks? If so, what types and quantities of material will be stored?
This is a non -project action changing the future land use map. Future development would be
analyzed under a separate SEPA process.
3. What protective measures will be taken to insure that leaks or spills of any chemicals stored or used
on site will not be allowed to percolate to groundwater? This includes measures to keep chemicals
out of disposal systems. This is a non -project action changing the future land use map. Future
development would be analyzed under separate SEPA process.
4. Will any chemicals be stored, handled or used on the site in a location where a spill or leak will drain
to surface or groundwater or to a stormwater disposal system discharging to surface or
groundwater? This is a non -project action changing the future land use map. Future development
would be analyzed under separate SEPA process.
b. Stormwater
1. What are the depths on the site to groundwater and to bedrock (if known)? Unknown
Exhibit 8

D. Supplemental Sheet for Non -Project Actions
(Do not use this sheet for project actions)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements
of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent of the proposal, or the types of activities likely to result
from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not
implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, storage, or
release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? Traffic generated from future park use on
site causing increased vehicle emissions and discharge of vehicle pollutants to watercourses and
Page 10 of 12
PL-22 V1.0
Exhibit 8
groundwater.
a. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: Development of the site would require
pollutants from vehicles in storm runoff be treated in stormwater basins. Increase in vehicle emissions
in the immediate vicinity generated by future use of the site would be mitigated by improved traffic
circulation applied at development of the site.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? Increase in human activity
onsite.
a. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: Maintain water and
drainage courses, preserve open spaces, and enhance vegetation with future landscape plans.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? Electricity used on site to power
facilities on site.
a. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: Limit hours of public use for
the site during normal operations and implement seasonal restrictions for public use of site
facilities (i.e. restrooms).
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or
eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers,
threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime
farmlands? Increase in human activity on site and development of the site for public access and recreation.
a. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: Review of
environmentally sensitive areas during future SEPA process and at time of site development. All
development on site would be required to meet requirements for development in the floodplain, which
includes a requirement for net loss in flood storage capacity.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or
encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? Not applicable; no shoreline areas
present.
a. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: Not applicable.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities?
Additional traffic generated from future park use on site.
a. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: Review impacts to roadway level of
service at time of site development. Necessary improvements to the adjacent transportation network
would be made at time of site development to maintain levels of service and maintain vehicle
circulation.
