are an important role in the governmental process and serve to maintain good relations between local
government and the public.
VII. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT: Planning Manager Chaz Bates stated that the public hearing
regarding the number of required Planning Commission meetings will be held at the November 9th
2023 meeting.
VIII. PUBLIC COMMENT: There was no public comment offered.
IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
a. Public Hearing: Clearview Triangle Regulations Update
The public hearing was opened at 6:12 p.m.
Senior Engineer Jerremy Clark gave a staff report. He stated that CTA-2023-0003 is a city -initiated
code text amendment. At the study session on September 28, 2023, staff presented proposed
amendments to Chapter 21.130 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) and to SVMC
22.70.030. Mr. Clark explained that staff found that additional amendments to Chapter 21.130
SVMC were needed so the proposed amendments to Chapter 21.130 SVMC were withdrawn from
the code text amendment application. As a result, CTA-2023-0003 was limited to the amendments to
SVMC 22.70.030.
Mr. Clark explained that the proposed amendments to SVMC 22.070.030 clarify that clear -view
triangle regulations apply to alleyways. While there is text in SVMC 22.70.030 that includes a
reference to an alley, Table 22.70-1 and Figure 22.70-1 with specific sight distance regulations do
not. The proposed amendment clarifies that alleys are subject to clear -view triangle regulations. The
amendment also adds an exemption to the clear -view triangle regulations for parked vehicles
provided they are legally parked and operable. A revision to Figure 22.70-1 to clarify the
measurement limits and remove the stop bar was also included in the amendment.
Commissioner Haneke asked why the stop bar was removed. Mr. Clark answered that the wording
and the protocol for measuring a clear -view triangle does not consider where the stop bar is located.
The clear -view triangle is measured from the traveled way of the intersecting roadway, but it was
being measured incorrectly from the stop bar and was removed.
Commissioner Dimitrov asked if any intersection in Spokane Valley will be in non-compliance with
this change if it is passed. Mr. Clark answered that he is not aware of any that won't be compliant.
Commissioner Haneke asked why parked cars were exempted in the code. Mr. Clark answered that
parked vehicles are not a fixed item on the roadway therefore, clear -view triangle regulations do not
apply to parked cars. If there is a site -distance issue, there would be a need for "no parking'
regulations. Commissioner Haneke commented that there should be "no parking" signs in all clear -
view triangles for the required site distance.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: CTA-2023-0003 Clearview Triangle Regulations Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A.106, SVMC 17.80.150 and 19.30.040
PREVIOUS COMMISSION ACTION: Sept. 28, 2023 — Study Session; Oct. 26, 2023 —Public Hearing
BACKGROUND: CTA-2023-0003 is a city -initiated code text amendment. At the study session on
September 28, 2023, staff presented proposed amendments to chapter 21.130 of the Spokane Valley
Municipal Code (SVMC) and to SVMC 22.70.030. Since the Planning Commission's study session, staff
found that additional amendments to chapter 21.130 SVMC are needed. As a result, the proposed
amendments to chapter 21.130 SVMC are being withdrawn from the code text amendment application
CTA-2023-0003. As a result, CTA-2023-0003 is limited to the amendments to SVMC 22.70.030.
The proposed amendments to SVMC 22.070.030 clarify that clearview triangle regulations apply to
alleyways. The need for the proposed amendment was identified because of code enforcement cases related
to alleyways and clearview triangles. While there is text in SVMC 22.70.030 includes a reference to an
alley, Table 22.70-1 and Figure 22.70-1 with specific sight distance regulations do not. The proposed
amendments clarify that alleys are subject to clearview triangle regulations. The amendment also adds an
exemption to the clearview triangle regulations for parked vehicles provided it is legally parked and
operable. A revision to Figure 22.70-1 to clarify the measurement limits is also included.
Pursuant to SVMC 19.30.040 modification to SVMC Titles 17 through 24 are classified as a Type IV
development application and require the Planning Commission to provide a recommendation to City
Council.
On September 28, 2023, the Planning Commission conducted a study session. On October 26, 2023, a
public hearing was conducted followed by deliberations. The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to
recommend to City Council that CTA-2023-0003 be approved.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve the Findings and Recommendation of the
Planning Commission for CTA-2023-0003.

22.70.030 Clearview triangle.
A. A sight distance is the length of roadway visible to a driver. The clearview triangle is the triangular area
calculated at the intersection of two streets or the intersection of an alley, private street or driveway, and a street to
provide the required sight distance and provide unobstructed vision to motorists and pedestrians.
1. For commercial approaches, alley approaches, and stop sign controlled intersections, the clearview triangle
shall be calculated pursuant to Table 22.70-1 and Figure 22.70-1.

speeds in excess of 35 miles per hour (mph), or for vehicles other than passenger cars pursuant to the street standards as adopted pursuant to
S VMC 22.130.040.
3. For stop sign controlled intersections, gad commercial approaches, and alley approaches, use Figure 22.70-1 to determine required sight
distance and location of Point A.
To determine the clearview triangle, locate points A and C, determine the required distance (BC/CB) using Table 22.70-1, locate point B and
connect points A, B, and C. The area enclosed by points A, B, C and the rightof-way is the clearview triangle, hatched area in Figure 22.70-1.

Meeting Date: November 9, 2023
Item: Check all that apply ❑ old business ❑ new business ® public hearing
❑ information ❑ study session ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: CTA-2023-0004 Required Number of Planning Commission Meetings
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A.106, SVMC 17.80.150, 19.30.040, 18.10.030
PREVIOUS COMMISSION ACTION: 10-12-2023 Study Session Conducted
BACKGROUND: CTA-2023-0004 is a city -initiated code text amendment to revise SVMC 18.10.030 to
provide flexibility in the number of planning commission meetings. Currently, SVMC 18.10.030 requires
the planning commission to meet at least one time every month. This code text amendment provides
flexibility when there is no business for the planning commission to conduct. The proposed code text
amendment would require the planning commission to hold at least one regular meeting each month not
less than nine months in each year. This is consistent with other state laws related to planning commissions,
particularly RCW 35.63.040 which has the same requirement. Pursuant to RCW 35A.63.140, which applies
to code cities, "[a]ny duties and responsibilities which by other statutes are imposed upon a planning
commission may, in a code city, be performed by a planning agency, as provided in this chapter.
This code text amendment does not modify the regular meeting schedule of the planning commission. The
planning commission will still have regular meetings scheduled at 6:00pm every 2nd and 4`s Thursday of
each month. The proposal will not have an impact on the planning commissions responsibilities and duties
under chapter 18.10 SVMC.
On October 12, 2023, the Planning Commission conducted a study session. The November 9`I' meeting will
include a public hearing on the proposed amendment to the SVMC.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Conduct the public hearing and deliberate on the proposed
amendment. The Planning Commission may recommend approval, approval with modifications, or denial
of the proposed amendment.

Staff Report and Recommendation
CTA-2023-0004
which by other statutes are imposed upon a planning commission may, in a code city, be
performed by a planning agency, as provided in this chapter."
A. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE TEXT
AMENDMENT
1. Compliance with Title 17 (General Provisions) of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code
a. Findings:
SVMC 17.80.150(F) Municipal Code Text Amendment Approval Criteria
The City may approve a Municipal Code Text amendment if it finds that:
i. The proposed text amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan:
Staff Analysis: The Comprehensive Plan does not identify specific goals and policies
relevant to the Planning Commission procedures but identifies specific goals and
policies to be considered in the development of the comprehensive plan and
development regulations. A review of the goals and policies did not identify anything
inconsistent with the proposed CTA. The proposed amendment is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan as the amendment establishes the minimum number of meetings
required for the Planning Commission to conduct its business as it relates to
Comprehensive Plan amendments and other matters such as code text amendments.
ii. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to public health, safety,
welfare, and protection of the environment:
Staff Analysis: The proposed amendment bears substantial relation to public health,
safety, welfare, and protection of the environment. The proposed amendments clarify
the required number of meetings the Planning Commission must hold consistent with
state law and does not reduce the number of meetings necessary for the Planning
Commission to conduct business, nor does it reduce the number of regular meetings
scheduled pursuant to the Planning Commission Rules of Procedure.
