OBJECTIVES OF THE BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD
Describe fully which objectives of RCW 36.93.180 this proposal meets and which objectives this proposal does not
meet. Give your reasons for each of the objectives chosen.
1. Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities. The communities of Yardley, Dishman,
)portunity, Greenacres, Trentwood and Veradale will remain intact. The areas of Northwood,
trtions of which are,protected by Fire District #1 and portions are protected by Fire District #9.
to Ponderosa and Alcott neighborhoods are similarly divided with Fire District #1 and Fire
istrict #8. Fire District #1 is the boundary of The new proposed City of Spokane Valley.
2. Use of physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water, highways and land contours.
The area of Fire District #1 within the UGA gas been selected as the boundary._
The western most boundary is the City of Spokane and the Eastern most boundary
i the CitK of Libert L�Ce,
3. �rea ion a d preservati n o ogical service areas. The proposed incorporation contains
most of the urban developed areas between the cities of Spokane and Liberty Lake,
while surrounding the City of Millwood. This appears to be a logical service area to
preserve and protect the community known as the Spokane Valley. With 82,100 residents
4a %e�e�tiS n&bJ&"al�sge4 e adequate funds to-provide services equal to the
current level. Fire District #1 will continue.
Due to the urban growth area, someA rregular boundaries may occur. Unfortunately the
growth management act is a contributing factor in this result. Irregularities may be
dealt with after incorporation.
5. Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and encouragement of incorporation of cities in
excess of ten thousand population in heavily populated urban areas. The proposed area of incorporation,
of Spokane Valley would occupy all of the area within the UGA east of the City of Spokane
to the west border of the newly incoprorated City of Liberty Lake. The proposed City
will have 82,100 residents.
M
6. Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts. Not Applicable.
7. Adjustment of impractical boundaries. Not Applicable.
8. Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities and towns of unincorporated areas which are
urban in character. The growth and increased density of the proposed urban area which
contain commercial, industrial and residential zones meets this objective.
9. Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long -term productive agricultural and
resource use by a comprehensive plan adopted by the county legislative authority.
There are no designated areas within the proposed area of incorporation.
I certify that the above is true and accurate and that I am an official or employee of the
governmental jurisdiction seeking boundary change action or the proponent for the incorporation
or formation.
