Resolution was approved by the City Council, so all meetings were relocated to Centerplace. The
work has been completed on the Council Chambers at City Hall.
Mr. Beattie explained that the proposed amendment to the Rules of Procedure would change the
meeting location from Centerplace back to City Hall located at 10210 E. Sprague Ave. Spokane
Valley, WA 99206. The dates and times of the meetings remain the same, the second and fourth
Thursday of each month beginning at 6:00 p.m.
Mr. Beattie also requested that the Planning Commission waive the requirement for a study session
on this matter since a study session was held regarding this amendment in June when the change
originally occurred.
Commissioner McKinley moved, and it was seconded to waive the rules requiring a study session,
approve and forward the Planning Commission Rules of Procedure as amended by City Council for
adoption. There was no discussion. The vote on the motion was four in favor, zero against and the
motion passed.
X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Commissioner Delucchi expressed concern about the large County
development being built off of Barker Road and the amount of traffic funneling onto City streets and
the environmental impacts to the wetlands in that area. She feels that the City needs to coordinate
more with Spokane County regarding large developments. She also expressed concern about the
development occurring on Saltese Road.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: 2024 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 15 and 22, 2023, notifying the public of the annual
amendment process and that the City would accept applications for the 2024 cycle through
November 14, 2023. The notice was also sent to all agencies, organizations and adjacent
jurisdictions that may have an interest in amending the comprehensive plan.
As part of the annual comprehensive plan amendment cycle, the City Council is presented with
proposed amendments that may be considered for the year's amendment cycle. This process,
known as docketing, provides the City Council the opportunity to remove items from the docket.
On December 19, 2023, the City Council approved the 2024 Docket. The Docket includes two
City -initiated map amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
On January 5, 2024, the City issued a Determination of Non -significance (DNS) for both the
proposed comprehensive plan amendments pursuant to Title 21 SVMC, Environmental Controls.
A public hearing on the proposed amendments is scheduled for March 14, 2024. 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 February 22, 2024, the Planning Commission will hold a second study session on
the proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No action recommended at this time.
