PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: On December 19, 2023, the City Council approved the
2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket. On April 16, 2024, Council gave consensus to prepare
Ordinance 24-007 for a first reading. On April 30, 2024 Council, Council gave consensus to advance
Ordinance 24-007 to a second reading.
BACKGROUND: The GMA (Growth Management Act) 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 the SVMC, staff published
notice advising the public of the annual amendment process and that the City would accept applications

Section 4. Comprehensive Plan and Map Amendment. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.130, the
Comprehensive Plan is hereby amended as set forth below and in Attachment “A”. The Comprehensive
Plan amendments are generally described as follows:
Comprehensive Plan and Map Amendment:
File No. CPA-2024-01:
Proposal: A request to change the land use designation and zoning for approximately 49.2 acres of Multi-
Family Residential to 44 acres Mixed Use and 5.2 acres Single-Family Residential.
Applicant: City of Spokane Valley
Amendment Location: 4418 E 8th Avenue; Parcel Numbers 35233.9191, 35233.9192, 35233.9176,
35233.0513, 35233.0709, 35233.0710, 35233.0604, 35233.0605, 35233.0606, 35233.0607, 35233.0608,
35233.0609, and 35233.0505; Section 23, Township 25 North, Range 43 East, Willamette Meridian,
Spokane County, Washington.
Council adopts and makes the following Findings for CPA-2024-01:
1. 1. The proposed amendment to change the designation for 49.2 acres from Multi-Family
Residential (MFR) to 44 acres Mixed Use (MU) and 5.2 acres Single-Family Residential
Ordinance 24-007: 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 3 of 7
Draft
(SFR) bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, welfare, and protection of
the environment.
2. The proposal is a city-initiated map amendment that would allow for a broader range of uses
on the northern portion of the property, which is accessed from 8th Avenue, a minor arterial.
Mixed-Use (MU) provides economic opportunity by allowing for two or more different land
uses within developments under this designation, including commercial uses not allowed
under the current Multi-Family Residential (MFR) designation. MU developments can be
either vertical or horizontally mixed, and could include employment uses such as office,
retail, and/or lodging along with higher density residential uses, and in some cases
community or cultural facilities. The subject property was purchased by Spokane
Conservation District (SCD) approximately 7 years ago. The property is forested and was
previously used for excavation and storage of landscape materials. The SCD has worked to
enhance the forested portions of the property and built offices to support their operations. In
addition, the SCD has for-lease office space and a daycare onsite. SCD has expansion plans
that include a farmers' market and other similar public-facing uses. All these uses would take
place across the northern three parcels that are directly accessed from 8th Avenue. Allowing
for a re-designation and rezone from MFR to MU would accommodate these future plans. In
addition, the proposal recognizes that the southern portion of the property is adjacent to
lower-intensity, single-family residential areas. Due to steep topography across the property,
the southern portion of the property is disconnected from the northern portion fronting 8th
Avenue and is more easily accessed from local access residential streets that include 13th
and 14th Avenues. Changing the designation of the southern ten parcels from MFR to Single-
Family Residential (SFR) would reduce the potential for higher intensity uses adjacent to the
existing low-density residential neighborhood. The southern portion of the subject property
will be more closely integrated with existing low-density residential neighborhoods and serve
as a buffer from more intensive uses on the northern portion of the property.
3. The Growth Management Act (GMA) adopts fourteen goals to guide the development of
local comprehensive plans and development regulations. At a broad level encouraging
efficient use of transportation infrastructure and promoting economic development meets
those related GMA goals.
4. 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.
5. The proposed amendment is not in response to or corrects an obvious mapping error.
6. The proposed amendment does address a need identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The
Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan identifies priorities that include supporting
neighborhood-scale development that enhances local community identity, supporting a mix
of land uses, and allowing flexibility to apply innovative development approaches. In
addition, the Economic Development Element of the Comprehensive Plan identifies
priorities that include capitalizing on local outdoor recreation opportunities. In addition, the
Natural Resources Element of the Comprehensive Plan identifies leveraging natural assets
by minimizing impacts to critical areas as a priority for improving quality of life and
attracting new business and residents. The proposed amendment proposal addresses these
needs and priorities. Additionally, the proposed comprehensive plan amendment is supported
by the following Goals and Policies:
ED-P6: Promote the development or redevelopment of vacant and underutilized
properties, particularly those with potential to serve as a catalyst for economic
development.
ED-P12: Leverage community assets (e.g. trails, natural amenities, and facilities) to grow
the local economy.
LU-G1: Maintain and enhance the character and quality of life in Spokane Valley.
Ordinance 24-007: 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 4 of 7
Draft
LU-G2: Provide for land uses that are essential to Spokane Valley residents, employees,
and visitors.
LU-P1: Enable neighborhood-scale commercial uses in residential areas.
LU-P5: Ensure compatibility between adjacent residential and commercial or industrial
uses.
LU-P6: Support neighborhood efforts to sustainably cultivate produce.
LU-P7: Protect residential neighborhoods from incompatible land uses and adverse
impacts associated with transportation corridors.
7. The property is developed and disturbed. The current site is forested but is surrounded by
developed areas on all sides. While the change to MU could increase the intensity of
development on the northern portion of the property, the site is also characterized by steep
slopes and a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), which will limit the scale of development
across the whole site. Due to the physical limitations of the property, the impact to the
physical environment would likely be minimal. All future development will be subject to the
City’s floodplain regulations.
8. The site in question does not contain streams, rivers, or lakes, but a portion of the property is
located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) according to the adopted Flood Insurance
Rate Map (FIRM). The property is also forested and includes steep terrain, which are
considered to be geologically hazardous areas within the City’s critical areas ordinance. The
City’s critical areas ordinance and floodplain regulations will ensure adequate protection of
the critical areas and the SFHA when future development occurs.
9. The proposed amendment takes the surrounding land uses into consideration. Areas north
and east of the site are designated MFR and allow for higher density residential development.
One such multi-family residential development is under construction on the property
immediately east of the site. One additional adjacent property to the east contains the Spokane
School District No. 81 Instructional Technology Support Center (ITSC), located within a
former elementary school. The ITSC no longer functions as a school but as a support facility
for School District staff. Areas south and west of the site are characterized as low-density
single-family residential uses, with land to the west being within the incorporated limits of
the City of Spokane. While MU allows for a wide variety of uses, the presence of critical
areas and physical characteristics of the site limit the scale and intensity of development
across the entire property. To further protect the adjacent land uses to the west and south, the
proposed map amendment would also change the designation of the southern portion of
subject property to SFR. This would limit the scale of potential development and housing
densities for this portion of the property to single-family residential uses, which is compatible
with existing single-family properties to the west and south.
10. Sewer, water, electricity, and other utilities are available to the site. The property is adjacent
to Spokane School District No. 81 ITSC, which is located in a former elementary school but
no longer functions as a school. The site is approximately 0.6 of a mile from Frances Scott
Elementary School and 0.9 miles from Underhill Park in the City of Spokane and 1.8 miles
from Edgecliff Park in the City of Spokane Valley. The impact of this development on the
overall parks and recreation would be minimal and within the adopted Level of Service
(LOS). Impacts to the Spokane School District would be minimal. In regards the
transportation network, 8th Avenue is designated as a minor arterial, the Comprehensive Plan
identifies that 8th Avenue will be widened to a 3-lane cross section with curbs, sidewalks,
bike lanes, and stormwater facilities. The forecasted LOS for this stretch of 8th Avenue
maintains a “D” throughout the planning horizon within the adopted LOS. The impact of
potential development under the MU zone would be minimal and within the adopted LOS. It
should be noted that Havana Street is designated as a minor arterial according to the City of
Spokane. The City of Spokane Valley shall communicate with the City of Spokane on all
future development proposals. The parcel is adjacent to Spokane Transit Authority (STA)
Ordinance 24-007: 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 5 of 7
Draft
Route 94, which includes stops along 8th Avenue and provides 30-minute service frequencies
along its route between Downtown Spokane and the City of Millwood. Route 94 provides
connections with other transit routes at multiple points along its route, thus expanding transit
access to the subject site from multiple points across the metropolitan area. The City of
Spokane Valley shall communicate with STA to determine impacts to transit service resulting
from future development proposals.
11. The proposed amendment will provide a benefit to the neighborhood, City, and region by
allowing for non-residential uses that enhance community identity and provide additional
economic opportunities. This amendment will also allow property owners to apply innovative
development approaches that will blend a mix of uses into the existing natural environment.
Any future development proposal would protect critical areas onsite through the City of
Spokane Valley’s critical areas ordinance and floodplain regulations, which will ensure
onsite development does not create impacts to properties in the immediate vicinity and those
areas further afield. Overall, this amendment supports goals and policies within the City’s
Land Use, Economic Development, and Natural Resources Elements of the Comprehensive
Plan.
12. The location of the proposal and the physical attributes of the site are similar to other areas
designated MU. Approximately 40-acres of land designated MU is located 0.3 of a mile to
the east at the intersection of 8th Avenue and Carnahan Road. As described in the
Comprehensive Plan, developments with the designation MU can be either vertical or
horizontally mixed, and would include employment uses such as office, retail, and/or lodging
along with higher density residential uses. Furthermore, areas to the north of the site are
designated MFR, which also allows for higher density residential development and is
compatible with areas zoned MU. The southern portion of the site to be designated SFR is
consistent with existing single-family developments surround the site to its west and south.
If future development is proposed on the areas to be designated SFR, it would be at a scale
and density compatible with the built environment to the west and south.
13. Across the entire city the proposed change would have little impact on population density.
14. The proposal will not have an impact on other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan.
15. The criteria of SVMC 17.80.140(H) are met by the amendment.
Council Decision: Change the designation for parcel numbers 35233.9191, 35233.9192, and 35233.9176,
to Mixed Use (MU) and change the designation for parcel numbers 35233.0513, 35233.0709, 35233.0710,
35233.0604, 35233.0605, 35233.0606, 35233.0607, 35233.0608, 35233.0609, and 35233.0505 to Single-
Family Residential (SFR).
Section 5. Map - Copies on File-Administrative Action. The Comprehensive Plan (with maps)is
maintained in the office of the City Clerk as well as the City Department of Community and Public Works.
The City Manager or designee, following adoption of this Ordinance, is authorized to modify the
Comprehensive Plan (including maps) in a manner consistent with this Ordinance, including correcting
scrivener’s errors.
Section 6. Liability. The express intent of the City is that the responsibility for compliance with the
provisions of this Ordinance shall rest with the permit applicant and their agents. This Ordinance and its
provisions are adopted with the express intent to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the general public
and are not intended to protect any particular class of individuals or organizations.
Section 7. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance shall be held to
be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality
shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of any other section, sentence, clause, or phrase of this
Ordinance.

Map Amendments:
File No. CPA-2024-01:
Proposal: A request to change the land use designation and zoning for approximately 49.2 acres of Multi-
Family Residential to 44 acres Mixed Use and 5.2 acres Single-Family Residential.
Applicant: City of Spokane Valley
Amendment Location: 4418 E 8th Avenue; Parcel Numbers 35233.9191, 35233.9192, 35233.9176,
35233.0513, 35233.0709, 35233.0710, 35233.0604, 35233.0605, 35233.0606, 35233.0607, 35233.0608,
35233.0609, and 35233.0505; Section 23, Township 25 North, Range 43 East, Willamette Meridian,
Spokane County, Washington.
Council adopts and makes the following Findings for CPA-2024-01:
1. The proposed amendment to change the designation for 49.2 acres from Multi-Family
Residential (MFR) to 44 acres Mixed Use (MU) and 5.2 acres Single-Family Residential
(SFR) bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, welfare, and protection of
the environment.
Ordinance 24-008: 2024 Zoning Map Amendments Page 3 of 7
Draft
2. The proposal is a city-initiated map amendment that would allow for a broader range of uses
on the northern portion of the property, which is accessed from 8th Avenue, a minor arterial.
Mixed-Use (MU) provides economic opportunity by allowing for two or more different land
uses within developments under this designation, including commercial uses not allowed
under the current Multi-Family Residential (MFR) designation. MU developments can be
either vertical or horizontally mixed, and could include employment uses such as office,
retail, and/or lodging along with higher density residential uses, and in some cases
community or cultural facilities. The subject property was purchased by Spokane
Conservation District (SCD) approximately 7 years ago. The property is forested and was
previously used for excavation and storage of landscape materials. The SCD has worked to
enhance the forested portions of the property and built offices to support their operations. In
addition, the SCD has for lease office space and a daycare onsite. SCD has expansion plans
that include a farmers' market and other similar public-facing uses. All these uses would take
place across the northern three parcels that are directly accessed from 8th Avenue. Allowing
for a re-designation and rezone from MFR to MU would accommodate these future plans. In
addition, the proposal recognizes that the southern portion of the property is adjacent to
lower-intensity, single-family residential areas. Due to steep topography across the property,
the southern portion of the property is disconnected from the northern portion fronting 8th
Avenue and is more easily accessed from local access residential streets that include 13th
and 14th Avenues. Changing the designation of the southern ten parcels from MFR to Single-
Family Residential (SFR) would reduce the potential for higher intensity uses adjacent to the
existing low-density residential neighborhood. The southern portion of the subject property
will be more closely integrated with existing low-density residential neighborhoods and serve
as a buffer from more intensive uses on the northern portion of the property.
3. The Growth Management Act (GMA) adopts fourteen goals to guide the development of
local comprehensive plans and development regulations. At a broad level encouraging
efficient use of transportation infrastructure and promoting economic development meets
those related GMA goals.
4. 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.
5. The proposed amendment is not in response to or corrects an obvious mapping error.
6. The proposed amendment does address a need identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The
Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan identifies priorities that include supporting
neighborhood-scale development that enhances local community identity, supporting a mix
of land uses, and allowing flexibility to apply innovative development approaches. In
addition, the Economic Development Element of the Comprehensive Plan identifies
priorities that include capitalizing on local outdoor recreation opportunities. In addition, the
Natural Resources Element of the Comprehensive Plan identifies leveraging natural assets
by minimizing impacts to critical areas as a priority for improving quality of life and
attracting new business and residents. The proposed amendment proposal addresses these
needs and priorities. Additionally, the proposed comprehensive plan amendment is supported
by the following Goals and Policies:
ED-P6: Promote the development or redevelopment of vacant and underutilized
properties, particularly those with potential to serve as a catalyst for economic
development.
ED-P12: Leverage community assets (e.g. trails, natural amenities, and facilities) to grow
the local economy.
LU-G1: Maintain and enhance the character and quality of life in Spokane Valley.
LU-G2: Provide for land uses that are essential to Spokane Valley residents, employees,
and visitors.
LU-P1: Enable neighborhood-scale commercial uses in residential areas.
Ordinance 24-008: 2024 Zoning Map Amendments Page 4 of 7
Draft
LU-P5: Ensure compatibility between adjacent residential and commercial or industrial
uses.
LU-P6: Support neighborhood efforts to sustainably cultivate produce.
LU-P7: Protect residential neighborhoods from incompatible land uses and adverse
impacts associated with transportation corridors.
7. The property is developed and disturbed. The current site is forested but is surrounded by
developed areas on all sides. While the change to MU could increase the intensity of
development on the northern portion of the property, the site is also characterized by steep
slopes and a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), which will limit the scale of development
across the whole site. Due to the physical limitations of the property, the impact to the
physical environment would likely be minimal. All future development will be subject to the
City’s floodplain regulations.
8. The site in question does not contain streams, rivers, or lakes, but a portion of the property is
located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) according to the adopted Flood Insurance
Rate Map (FIRM). The property is also forested and includes steep terrain, which are
considered to be geologically hazardous areas within the City’s critical areas ordinance. The
City’s critical areas ordinance and floodplain regulations will ensure adequate protection of
the critical areas and the SFHA when future development occurs.
9. The proposed amendment takes the surrounding land uses into consideration. Areas north
and east of the site are designated MFR and allow for higher density residential development.
One such multi-family residential development is under construction on the property
immediately east of the site. One additional adjacent property to the east contains the Spokane
School District No. 81 Instructional Technology Support Center (ITSC), located within a
former elementary school. The ITSC no longer functions as a school but as a support facility
for School District staff. Areas south and west of the site are characterized as low-density
single-family residential uses, with land to the west being within the incorporated limits of
the City of Spokane. While MU allows for a wide variety of uses, the presence of critical
areas and physical characteristics of the site limit the scale and intensity of development
across the entire property. To further protect the adjacent land uses to the west and south, the
proposed map amendment would also change the designation of the southern portion of
subject property to SFR. This would limit the scale of potential development and housing
densities for this portion of the property to single-family residential uses, which is compatible
with existing single-family properties to the west and south.
10. Sewer, water, electricity, and other utilities are available to the site. The property is adjacent
to Spokane School District No. 81 ITSC, which is located in a former elementary school but
no longer functions as a school. The site is approximately 0.6 of a mile from Frances Scott
Elementary School and 0.9 miles from Underhill Park in the City of Spokane and 1.8 miles
from Edgecliff Park in the City of Spokane Valley. The impact of this development on the
overall parks and recreation would be minimal and within the adopted Level of Service
(LOS). Impacts to the Spokane School District would be minimal. In regards the
transportation network, 8th Avenue is designated as a minor arterial, the Comprehensive Plan
identifies that 8th Avenue will be widened to a 3-lane cross section with curbs, sidewalks,
bike lanes, and stormwater facilities. The forecasted LOS for this stretch of 8th Avenue
maintains a “D” throughout the planning horizon within the adopted LOS. The impact of
potential development under the MU zone would be minimal and within the adopted LOS. It
should be noted that Havana Street is designated as a minor arterial according to the City of
Spokane. The City of Spokane Valley shall communicate with the City of Spokane on all
future development proposals. The parcel is adjacent to Spokane Transit Authority (STA)
Route 94, which includes stops along 8th Avenue and provides 30-minute service frequencies
along its route between Downtown Spokane and the City of Millwood. Route 94 provides
connections with other transit routes at multiple points along its route, thus expanding transit
Ordinance 24-008: 2024 Zoning Map Amendments Page 5 of 7
Draft
access to the subject site from multiple points across the metropolitan area. The City of
Spokane Valley shall communicate with STA to determine impacts to transit service resulting
from future development proposals.
11. The proposed amendment will provide a benefit to the neighborhood, City, and region by
allowing for non-residential uses that enhance community identity and provide additional
economic opportunities. This amendment will also allow property owners to apply innovative
development approaches that will blend a mix of uses into the existing natural environment.
Any future development proposal would protect critical areas onsite through the City of
Spokane Valley’s critical areas ordinance and floodplain regulations, which will ensure
onsite development does not create impacts to properties in the immediate vicinity and those
areas further afield. Overall, this amendment supports goals and policies within the City’s
Land Use, Economic Development, and Natural Resources Elements of the Comprehensive
Plan.
12. The location of the proposal and the physical attributes of the site are similar to other areas
designated MU. Approximately 40-acres of land designated MU is located 0.3 of a mile to
the east at the intersection of 8th Avenue and Carnahan Road. As described in the
Comprehensive Plan, developments with the designation MU can be either vertical or
horizontally mixed, and would include employment uses such as office, retail, and/or lodging
along with higher density residential uses. Furthermore, areas to the north of the site are
designated MFR, which also allows for higher density residential development and is
compatible with areas zoned MU. The southern portion of the site to be designated SFR is
consistent with existing single-family developments surround the site to its west and south.
If future development is proposed on the areas to be designated SFR, it would be at a scale
and density compatible with the built environment to the west and south.
13. Across the entire city the proposed change would have little impact on population density.
14. The proposal will not have an impact on other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan.
15. The criteria of SVMC 17.80.140(H) are met by the amendment.
Council Decision: Change the designation for parcel numbers 35233.9191, 35233.9192, and 35233.9176,
to Mixed Use (MU) and change the designation for parcel numbers 35233.0513, 35233.0709, 35233.0710,
35233.0604, 35233.0605, 35233.0606, 35233.0607, 35233.0608, 35233.0609, and 35233.0505 to Single-
Family Residential (SFR).
Section 5. Zoning Map/Official Controls. Pursuant to RCW 35A.63.100, for the purpose of
regulating the use of land and to implement and give effect to the Comprehensive Plan, the City hereby
amends the Official City Zoning Map as set forth in Attachment "A”.
Section 6.Adoption of Other Laws. To the extent that any provision of the SVMC, or any other law,
rule, or regulation referenced in the attached Zoning Map(s) is necessary or convenient to establish the
validity, enforceability, or interpretation of the Zoning Map(s), then such provision of the SVMC, or other
law, rule, or regulation is hereby adopted by reference.
Section 7. Map - Copies on File-Administrative Action. The Zoning Map is maintained in the office
of the City Clerk as well as the City Department of Community and Public Works. The City Manager or
designee, following adoption of this Ordinance, is authorized to modify the Zoning Map in a manner
consistent with this Ordinance, including correcting scrivener’s errors.
Section 8. Liability. The express intent of the City is that the responsibility for compliance with the
provisions of this Ordinance shall rest with the permit applicant and their agents. This Ordinance and its
provisions are adopted with the express intent to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the general public
and are not intended to protect any particular class of individuals or organizations.

BACKGROUND:
On January 18, 2024, at its first meeting of the year, the TPA Commission requested that 116 &
West develop options to increase its 2024 marketing budget through an amendment to its
contractual scope of work. The Commission, by consensus, also requested a marketing proposal
for the HUB Sports Center. Phil Champlin with the HUB had presented information to the
Commission in October 2023 about its programs and facilities.
In late January, city staff met with Mr. Champlin at the HUB to identify potential opportunities for
partnering with the City on advertising campaigns that could be funded with TPA revenue and
included in the 116 & West contract for marketing services, thus integrating HUB advertising
initiatives (as a vendor) into the larger “Discover the Valley” branding and marketing program.
Per the request of the TPA Commission in January, 116 & West brought forward two proposals
at the April 18 TPA Commission meeting to expand its current marketing contract with additional
paid media campaigns and social media initiatives. One proposal was for $379,000 and the other
was for $466,000. Included in both proposals was also a contingency budget (between $30,000
and $50,000) to allow for additional media fees or other unexpected expenditures throughout the
year, and identified advertising products and services with the HUB. After a presentation from 116
& West and further discussion, the Commission, through consensus, recommended that City
Council authorize a $466,000 contract amendment with 116 & West to provide additional tourism
marketing services through December 2024.
On April 30, 2024, staff and a 116 & West representative provided information to Council outlining
a proposal to utilize $466,000 in TPA funds to increase the current 116 & West contract to provide
additional destination marketing services through the end of the year. Council provided consensus
to bring forward a motion to authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute a $466,000
contract amendment with 116 & West for additional tourism marketing through December 2024.
OPTIONS: Move to authorize the City Manager or his designee to utilize TPA revenue to execute
a $466,000 contract amendment with 116 & West for additional tourism marketing through
December 2024, or take other action as deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager or his designee
to utilize TPA revenue to execute a $466,000 contract amendment with 116 & West for additional
tourism marketing through December 2024.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The City’s TPA fee generated $1,309,506 million in revenue in 2023. Of this funding, $744,025 in
contractual expenditures and $400,000 in reserve funds was committed, leaving $165,481 in
carryover funds to be used in 2024. The Finance Department set the initial $400,000 reserve
based on unknown TPA revenues during 2023. The reserve balance is being reviewed as part of
the 2024 budget amendment process to determine the appropriate level now that there is a full
year of actual revenue history.
The 2024 Budget included $1.2 million in expenditures in the TPA Fund #109, which was set
based on initial revenue estimates and cash flow needs. The expenditure budget will be evaluated
during the 2024 amendment process and 2025 Budget development and adjusted based on
actual anticipated costs. In late 2023, City Council approved expenditures of $413,500 to 116 &
West and $400,000 to Spokane Sports from 2024 TPA revenue. Based on these calculations, the
City projects that $551,981 in the expenditure budget remains uncommitted in 2024.The $466,000
requested for additional marketing services would come from the uncommitted $551,981.

BACKGROUND:
The Sprague Ave. Stormwater and Multi-Modal Improvements project is located on Sprague
Avenue between University Road and Herald Road. This project will replace portions of the
outside travel lanes with biofiltration swales, add a signalized pedestrian crossing at City Hall,
upgrade sidewalk and curb ramps, provide an improved, delineated bike lane, install a high-
performance transit stop, update the left-turn signal timing at the University intersection, and
provide a grind/inlay of the asphalt pavement.
The project scope has notably increased due to some unforeseen design issues and to provide
additional improvements within the project limits, since the project was presented to Council in
November 2022. These items are as follows:
City needed to hire consultants to do the entire road and storm design, as City staff were
dedicated to other projects.
Additional stormwater system elements to actively replace aging infrastructure per the
enhanced level of stormwater service approved by Council in late 2022.
Replace the existing irrigation system. After investigation, the existing systems is not
capable of any expansion for the new swale locations.
Modifications were needed for the signal at University Road to improve pedestrian
safety, ADA compliance and improve vehicular phasing.
Replace and extend the driveways as existing driveways are not ADA accessible and
extending driveways to the new curb line provided easier winter snow removal
operations.
Pavement preservation includes a 1.5-inch grind and inlay to remove deteriorating
asphalt and cap and seal all the pavement patches.
Spokane Transit Authority’s high-performance transit stop.
Replacing and widening all sidewalks to City standard width of 6 feet. All the existing
sidewalks on the north side are currently 4ft wide. Numerous locations of sidewalks on
north and south sides do not meet ADA standards.
Landscape enhancement at University and Sprague intersection.
Additional pedestrian lighting.
Infrastructure for future pedestrian lights.
Additional construction engineering is anticipated based on a larger size project.
th

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35.77.010: Six Year Transportation Improvement Program
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
May 10, 2022 - City Council authorized the City Manager to apply to the 2022 PBP and
SRTS call for projects.
June 30, 2020 – City Council authorized the City Manager to apply to the 2020 PBP and
SRTS call for projects.
Previous to 2020, on even years, the city would historically apply to the PBP and SRTS
programs.
BACKGROUND: In March 2024, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)
issued a call for projects for the PBP and SRTS that aims to improve safety and increase the
number of people walking or bicycling. Both programs use a weighted evaluation process to
score projects: safety (40%), equity (25%), Mobility (10%), deliverability (10%), value (10%),
and geographic diversity (5%). Both funding programs share the same application; however, a
single project must apply to only one of the programs, not both. The programs can fund
construction projects, planning/design only projects, or education and encouragement
programs. Critical program details are:
PBP SRTS
Total Available Program Funds: $23.2 M $25.6 M
Funding Type (State/Federal) State State and/or Federal

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Potential Grant Opporutnity –Active Transportation Infrastructure
Investment Program
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35.77.010: Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of of the Comprehensive Plan (Ord.. 16-018)
which recognizes the long term goal to “identify and seek funding to develop north-south trail
connections between the Appleway and Centennial Trails.” Also, annual adoption of the 6-year
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which this project has been included since the
2021-2026 TIP.
BACKGROUND: The Federal Highways Administration has issued a notice of funding
opportunity for the Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program (ATIIP) making $45
million available nationwide for the planning, design, and construction of safe and connected
active transportation networks or spines. ATIIP defines a network and spine as follows:
Network – facilities that connect destinations within a community or metropolitan region.
Spine - facilities that connect between communities, metropolitan regions, or States.
ATIIP critical milestones and requirements are as follows:
$45 million available.
o At least $3 million goes to planning/design grants
o At least 30% goes towards networks
o At least 30% goes towards spines
Maximum ATIIP funding share is 80% of total cost.
City’s maximum federal participation is 86.5% of total cost.
Applications due June 17, 2024 (award date not listed)
Planning/design grants must request at least $100,000. There is no maximum award.
o ATIIP recommends a maximum design request of $2 million and suggests that
applicants identify the ‘scaleability’ of their request in case ATIIP can only provide
a partial award.
Planning grants may be used to fund:
o Public engagement activities, including community visioning, outreach to affected
disadvantaged populations, or other place-based strategies for public input into
project plans;
o Design and planning studies that support the development of a construction
project such as traffic studies supporting an active transportation outcome,
active transportation network plans, connectivity analyses, asset inventories, and
data collection of active transportation network gaps;
o Conceptual and preliminary engineering tied to projects in an approved plan;
o Other related transportation planning activities for active transportation networks
or spines.
Construction grants require a total project cost of at least $15 million and expects to
award construction grants that are no less than $7.5 million.
Awardees must obligate funds by September 30, 2026.
o Planning grants have a performance period of 2 years.
o Construction grants have a performance period of of 5 years.
Applications rated on the following criteria, given a High, Medium-High, Medium, and Low
rating:
1. Mobility and Community Connectivity
2. Community Support
3. Commitment to Increasing Walking and Biking
4. Financial Completeness
5. Equitable Development
6. Other DOT Goals and Priorities
Given the rating score for the above criteria, overall application rating will be summarized as
Highly Recommended, Recommended, or Not Recommended.
Proposed Project Application
Staff recommend submitting an application requesting planning/design funds for a network
project: Flora Road Trail, connecting the Appleway Trail to the Centennial Trail and Flora
Park, including bridges over Interstate 90 and the Spokane River.
The proposed project funding breakdown is as follows:
ATIIP Funding Request $ 2.0 million (80%)
Non-Federal Match $ 0.5 million (20%)
Estimated Total $ 2.5 million
The project scope would include the redesign of the Flora Road corridor in order to prioritize the
inclusion of trail facilities starting at the Appleway Trail, heading north over Interstate 90,
connecting to the Centennial Trail, then over the Spokane River and connecting to Flora Park.
The planning/design scope of work would include public engagement, alternatives analysis,
environmental impacts evaluation, and engineering design that provides full construction plans
and specifications, and estimates necessary for the future construction of the project. This
scope of work would also include the full design of the two bridge projects, over I-90 and the
Spokane River. The proposed scope of work would also identify any necessary right-of-way
requirements that may be required based on the selected design alternative.
Further, the program requests that applications propose a “scaled down” funding option. Staff
suggests a reduced scope to conduct an alternatives analysis, public outreach, environmental
process/documentation, and a 30% design package. This scaled down scope would request
$1.2 million (80%) with a match of $300,000, for an estimated total cost of $1.5 million.
OPTIONS: Discussion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff requests Council consensus to proceed with
the proposed project and return to City Council at a future meeting with a motion consideration
authorizing the city manager to submit an application.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If awarded the full design scope, the city would be
responsible for a non-federal match equal to 20% of the total cost, estimated at $500,000. A
scaled-down award would require a match of $300,000. The non-federal funds would be local
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) funds. Staff have confirmed that REET projections are
anticipated to be sufficient to cover the proposed matching funds.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative Report – STV-2024-0001, street vacation of 4,800 square
feet of Girard Road and 5,700 square feet to of Lily Road.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 22.140; Revised Code of
Washington (RCW) 35A.47.020 and chapter 35.79 RCW
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: On the February 20, 2024 City Council meeting, the
th
Council heard an administrative report; on the February 27, 2024 City Council meeting the public
hearing date was set before the Planning Commission for March 28, 2024.
BACKGROUND:
James Boone, LLC and Avodah, LLC have requested the street vacation of the south 60’ X 80’ of Girard
Road and the south 60’ X 95’ of Lily Road lying north of I-90 and south of Boone Avenue to expand the
operation area for the existing Landscape Materials business. James Boone, LLC and Avodah, LLC own
the adjacent property to the ROW requested to be vacated.
The right of way was dedicated by the First Addition to East Spokane Plat in 1911. Portions of the Plat
were vacated to allow for the construction of I-90 in the 1950’s, leaving the neighborhood bisected and
establishing Girard and Lily as dead-end streets. In the 1970’s Spokane County further vacated the
northerly portions of the two streets to the configuration that exists today. The original right-of-way was
established through the plat. The right-of-way if vacated would be returned half width to each of the
adjacent parcels.
The Lily right-of-way proposed to be vacated is adjacent to parcels 35131.1182, 35131.1163, (owned by
James Boone, LLC) 35131.1116 and 35131.1117 (owned by Avodah, LLC). The Girard right-of-way
proposed to be vacated is adjacent to parcels 35131.1145, 35131.1170, 35131.1171, and 35131.1193
(owned by James Boone, LLC). The right-of-way is paved, but does not have curb, gutter, or sidewalk.
The total area is approximately 10,502 square feet.
The Planning Commission conducted a study session on March 14, 2024, and a public hearing on March
28, 2024. Following public testimony and deliberations, the Planning Commission voted 5-0 (one
Commissioner was absent) to recommend approval of STV-2024-0001. The findings and
recommendations were approved by the Planning Commission on April 11, 2024.
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 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:
RCA Administrative Report for STV-2024-0001 Page 1 of 2
Half of the 60-feet wide right-of-way shall be granted to the adjacent property owners Utility/access

Township 25 North, Range 43 East, Willamette Meridian, Spokane Valley, Washington.
BACKGROUND:
On February 27, 2024, City Council approved Resolution No. 24-004 to set the public hearing date
with the Planning Commission on March 28th, 2024.
James Boone, LLC has requested the street vacation of a 60’ X 95’ dead end segment of Lily Road
and a 60’X80’ dead end segment of Girard Road to expand the operation area for the existing
Landscape Materials business. The adjacent property owner Avodah, LLC has also signed the
application, authorizing James Boone, LLC to represent their interests. James Boone, LLC and
Avodah, LLC own the adjacent property to the ROW requested to be vacated.
The Lily right-of-way proposed to be vacated is adjacent to parcels 35131.1182, 35131.1163,
(owned by James Boone, LLC) 35131.1116 and 35131.1117 (owned by Avodah, LLC). The
Girard right-of-way proposed to be vacated is adjacent to parcels 35131.1145, 35131.1170,
35131.1171, and 35131.1193 (owned by James Boone, LLC).
The right-of-way is paved, but does not have curb, gutter, or sidewalk. The total area to be vacated
is approximately 10,500 square feet.
Staff Report and Recommendation STV-2024-0001 Page 1 of 7
March 28, 2024
The right of way was dedicated by the First Addition to East Spokane Plat in 1911. Portions of the
Plat were vacated to allow for the construction of I-90 in the 1950’s, leaving the neighborhood
bisected and establishing Girard and Lily as dead-end streets. In the 1970’s Spokane County
further vacated the northerly portions of the two streets to the configuration that exists today. The
original right-of-way was established through the plat, so the right-of-way if vacated would be
returned half width to each of the adjacent parcels.
The surrounding properties are currently developed with a landscaping company (Broadway
Landscaping) to the south of the terminating points of Girard and Lily, the property abutting
Girard was residential and the homes are in the process of being removed or demolished. The
property abutting Lily is used by the landscaping company to the east and Senske Services to the
West. Both businesses take access off Cataldo Avenue. Lily and Girard are both developed as
local access streets, and not intended for commercial truck traffic. Water, sewer and gas are
located in the right-of-way and can be adequately preserved with easements. Lumen and Comcast
have indicated that their facilities are located outside of the area requested to be vacated.
James Boone, LLC has requested the street vacation for the following reasons:
1. The shop for Broadway Landscaping is located on the lot abutting N Lily and addressed as
1110 N. Lily. The main entrance for the business is off Cataldo and addressed as 7121 E
Cataldo. This creates confusion for customers as the mapping tools direct access to Lily.
2. Traffic attempts to access Cataldo Avenue and the freeway by traveling on Girard and Lily,
contributing to traffic in the neighborhood.
3. The additional residential properties were purchased with the intent to create paved storage
space for the landscaping materials. This will reduce the amount of dust and noise affecting
the residential neighbors.
4. The shop is located outside of the fenced business area. The property owner would like to
secure the property with fencing to include the vacated right-of-way to reduce impacts of
trespassing and vandalism.

A. C
OMPLIANCE WITH SVMC 22.140.030
Findings:
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 parcels owned by the applicants. The current
use of the properties abutting Girard is residential, but the structures are intended to be
removed. The current use of the properties abutting Lily is Industrial – Senske Services and
Broadway Landscape Supply. The area is zoned Industrial, and if the street vacation is
granted the lots would be used to expand the landscaping operations area located to the south.
Both businesses take commercial access from 7121 E Cataldo Avenue. Access from Girard
and Lily to the business is not needed, nor allowed as the streets are designated as local access
streets. The surrounding residential development would not be impacted as their access
would be unaltered by the street vacation. Avista, Spokane County Water District #3 and
Spokane County Public Works Wasterwater System Division have utilities located in the
right-of-way and requested an easement to retain rights for the maintenance, construction and
reconstruction as required. The vacation is expected to have no impact on the public.
2. Whether the street or alley is no longer required for public use or public access?
If the structures abutting Girard are removed, and if the structure on 1110 N Lily isincluded in
the existing landscaping supply operations, the right-of-way will not be required for current or
future public access. The construction of I-90 eliminated connectivity in the area by creating
dead ends. Relocating the dead end of Girard 80’ and Lily 95’to the north has no impact on
public use or public access. Stormwater improvements are not located in Girard or Lily, and the
right-of-way is not needed for future stormwater improvements. Future stormwater
improvements may be required on the property to the north if the area is redeveloped consistent
with the Industrial zone.
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 there is no need for a new or different public way. The dead-endportions of the
street do not provide access to any undeveloped properties. All lots abutting the proposed
vacated right-of-way are owned by the applicants and will have access from Cataldo Avenue.
So long as access easements are retained for the utility’s facilities, the public interest is served.
4. Whether conditions may change in the future to provide a greater use or need than
presently exists?
Staff Report and Recommendation STV-2024-0001 Page 3 of 7
March 28, 2024
If the street vacation were granted, the abutting properties would become part of the existing
landscape materials business (Broadway Landscaping). Access to the business is from Cataldo
Avenue. Adjacent residential properties take access from Girard and Lily and would not be
impacted as the Girard and Lily street segments lead to dead ends abutting the Broadway
Landscaping site. The existing business would not be allowed access from the residential local
access roads. Future redevelopment of the adjacent properties should not be affected as the
properties have frontage on Girard or Lily. 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 on the City’s web page and at
City Hall; 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. C OMPLIANCE WITH T ITLE 21 SVMC – E NVIRONMENTAL C ONTROLS
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. P UBLIC C OMMENTS
Findings:
No public comments were received following the notice of public hearing posted, emailed and
mailed on March 8, 2024.
A Notice of Public Hearing sign was posted on March 8, 2024 on each end of Girard and Lily, the
area proposed to be vacated. Notices were posted on the City of Spokane Valleyweb page and in

Avista has gas distribution facilitieslocated in the Girard Road right-of-way. Spokane County has
sewer mains in both Girard and Lily right-of-way. Spokane County Water District No. 3 has utility
lines located in Girard Road right-of-way. Easements are requested by each agency for the
purposes of maintenance and access. Lumen and Comcast have facilities in the area, but they are
located outside of the area requested to be vacated.
The Fire Department indicated that if the residential structures remained on Girard access should
be considered. The Fire Department had specific requirements related to the existing Cataldo
access that included maintaining a turnaround, signage, gates, and Knox products.
Other agencies, including City Departments, 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 segments of Girard Road and Lily Road so long as
easements are established and access for emergency vehicles is preserved. The request has been
conditioned accordingly to address the concerns.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Proposed 2024 Budget Amendment.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: In order for the City to amend an adopted budget, State law
requires the Council to approve an ordinance that appropriates additional funds.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The Council last took formal action on the 2024 Budget
when it was adopted on November 21, 2023.
BACKGROUND: Since the initial adoption of the 2024 Budget on November 21, 2023, a number
of events have transpired that necessitate a 2024 Budget amendment. The proposed budget
amendments include:
#001 - General Fund
Revenues reflect an increase of $449,000, including:
$290,000 in transfers in from the Homeless Housing Program Fund #110 to use the
recording fees for program costs in the General Fund.
$159,000 for anticipated Coronavirus Local Recovery Funding (CLFR) revenue recognition.
Provide additional appropriations (expenditures) of $9,358,460 comprised of:
$300,100 increase in salaries, payroll taxes, and benefits costs across all Departments related
to the 3% pay increase authorized by City Council at the December 19, 2023 Council meeting.
$473,722 increase transfer out to the Public Safety Equipment Replacement Fund #503 for
annual replacement costs for vehicles purchased in 2023.

at the December 12, 2023 and April 23, 2024 Council meetings.
$17,000 increase for costs related to public outreach on the Police Staffing Project discussion,
including printing, mailing, and community meeting costs. Up to $30,000 was communicated

to the Clean Building requirements.
$3,131,000 increase due to expected CLFR related program expenditures.
$550,000 increase in capital software costs related to the replacement of the City’s financial
management software. The 2022 Budget originally included $1,000,000 for this purpose.
However, the timing of the project is spread over 2023 and into 2024. This amendment
spreads the $1,000,000 budgeted forward into the appropriate period.
$1,392,500 decrease in transfers out to the Street O&M Fund #101 to reflect vehicle license
fees estimated to be collected in 2024.

$473,722 is the recurring replacement costs for the 37 police vehicles purchased in 2023
assuming a 5-year useful life. The remaining $1,000,000 is for equipment costs related to future
increases to police staffing. These funds were CLFR related amounts allocated by Council for
this purpose.
The 2023 Budget amendment includes the addition of two new Funds for the City. These are
the Transportation Benefit District Fund #111 and the Public Safety Equipment Replacement
Fund #503.
The 2024 Budget amendment also includes changes to the Employee Position Classification
Monthly Salary Schedule to reflect the increases to the lower and upper ends of the salary ranges
that were approved by Council at the December 19, 2023 council meeting.
The 2024 Budget amendment reflects the changes noted above and will affect 12 funds resulting
in total revenue increases of $12,846,629 and expenditure increases of $21,61,2672.
