c. Discussion: 2025 Periodic Comprehensive Plan Update Schedule
Planning Manager Steve Roberge explained that the City is statutorily required to perform the
Periodic Comprehensive Plan update by June 30th, 2026. The statute requires that the City update
the Comprehensive Plan and the Development Regulations (including the Critical Areas Code). Mr.
Roberge explained that the update will need to comply with new legislation that has been passed into
law by the State of Washington, but it is also a time to look at the overlaying vision laid out in the
Comprehensive Plan to see if it still applies and what changes need to be made for the future.
Mr. Roberge stated that the State has provided a checklist outlining all of the things that have
changed in legislation since the last update is sixty pages long. The two most significant areas of
change are regarding housing and climate. Regarding climate, they have added a new chapter that
will need to be adopted into the Comprehensive Plan and there are very specific guidelines laid out
by the State that will need to be followed.
Mr. Roberge said that the State has provided some funding for these updates, so the City is in the
process of hiring a consultant to assist with the update. He explained that the City hopes to have the
contract presented to the Council for approval in a couple of weeks and have a detailed work plan for
staff and the Planning Commission by March.
IX. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Commissioner Weathermon stated that he will be absent at the next
meeting.
X. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Kelly moved, and it was seconded, to adjourn the meeting at
7: 09 p.m. The vote on the motion was seven in favor, zero opposed, and the motion passed.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: CTA 2024-0002 Right-of-way Permits — Public Hearing
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapters 17.80 and 22.130 SVMC
PREVIOUS COMMISSION ACTION: Study Session, December 12, 2024.
BACKGROUND: The purpose of right-of-way permits is to prevent unlicensed obstruction and
use of the right-of-way that impedes the traveling public, and to ensure applicants bear the
responsibility for damage caused by their activity. Pursuant to chapters 17.80 and 22.130 SVMC,
the City of Spokane Valley has treated right-of-way permits as Type I land use permits. However,
in reality, right-of-way permits are distinct from other permits listed in table Table 17.80-1 as they
are for management of the City's rights -of -way, easements, and other public properties held in trust
by the City for the public.
Further, pursuant to SVMC 17.80.040(A)(1), arguments have been made that certain entities, while
clearly impeding the traveling public, are conducting normal maintenance or repair, for which no
right-of-way permit may be required. Because of this, and other potential confusion with this
subsection, the City is recommending removing the exemption for normal repair and maintenance.
In total, CTA 2024-0002 would repeal SVMC 22.130.100 in its entirety, and make other minor
language changes to chapters 22.130, and 17.80 SVMC. City Council will consider adopting
chapter 9.50 SVMC for right-of-way permits in conjunction with Planning Commission's
recommendation related to CTA 2024-0002. Putting right-of-way permits in Title 9 related to
Vehicles and Traffic makes more sense for the public at large. Chapter 9.50 SVMC would replace
the repealed SVMC 22.130.100 and provide a clearer path for enforcement of right-of-way permits
through utilization of the nuisance procedure.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: (1) Move to recommend approval of CTA-2024-0002 as
proposed; (2) move to recommend approval of CTA-2024-0002 with amendments; or (3) move to
recommend denial of CTA-2024-0002.

APPROVAL CRITERIA: Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan, SVMC 17.80.150, and 19.30.040.

Procedural Action
Date
Published Notice of Public Hearing:
January 24, 2025
Department of Commerce 60-day Notice of Intent to Adopt
Amendment
January 6, 2025
Right-of-way Permits
The city requires right-of-way permits for temporary uses of the right-of-way to ensure any impediments
to the traveling public are minimized and require the applicant to bear the responsibility for the temporary
obstruction and use. In the past, right-of-way permits have been recognized as Type I land use permits.
However, right-of-way permits are not approvals to utilize the applicant -owned or managed land. Instead,
they are requests for a license with necessary and reasonable conditions to temporarily impede the normal
flow of the traveling public in rights -of -way, easements, and other public properties held in trust by the
City for the general public.
This City -initiated text amendment removes SVMC 22.130.100, dealing with right-of-way permits, in its
entirety from chapter 22.130 SVMC. Relatedly, it also makes minor language changes to chapters 22.130
and 17.80 SVMC. Should the Planning Commission recommend approval of CTA-2024-0002, Staff will
bring forward a separate ordinance to City Council that adopts right-of-way permitting procedures in Title
Staff Report and Recommendation
CTA-2024-0002
9 SVMC "Vehicles and Traffic." The intent is to provide clarity to which procedures, and enforcement
mechanisms apply to right-of-way permits.
A. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE TEXT
AMENDMENT
1. Compliance with Title 17 SVMC (General Provisions) of the Spokane Valley Municipal
Code
a. Findings:
SVMC 17.80.150(F) identifies the approval criteria for an amendment to Titles 17-27 SVMC.
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 proposed amendment is supported by the Comprehensive Plan
and is consistent with the following Comprehensive goals and policies:
ED-G6 Maintain a positive business climate that strives for flexibility, predictability,
and stability.
U-G1 Coordinate with utility providers to balance cost-effectiveness with
environmental protection, aesthetic impact, public safety, and public health.
T-G3 Strive to reduce the number of serious injury/fatality collisions to zero.
T-P2 Consider neighborhood traffic and livability conditions and address
potential adverse impacts of public and private projects during the planning, designing,
permitting, and construction phases.
T-P4 Support voluntary efforts to beautify local and regional transportation
corridors.
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. Unless exempt, right-of-way
permits are required for any person or company performing work or engaging in
activity within City ROW. These permits require certain conditions for the public
safety and welfare including traffic control plans, insurance, and adherence to
pavement cut policies. Relocating right-of-way permit procedures to Title 9 SVMC
"Vehicles and Traffic" ultimately ensures these regulations are catalogued
appropriately, and that right-of-way permit procedures and requirements are not
confused with the procedures and requirements of Type I land use and development
permits. The City will continue to provide superior and efficient service to the public
by processing these permits within days of receipt.
b. Conclusion(s):
The proposed text amendment is consistent with the approval criteria contained in the SVMC
17.80.150(F).

b. Conclusion(s):
Adequate public noticing was conducted for CTA-2024-0002 pursuant to adopted public
noticing procedures SVMC 17.80.120.
3. Finding and Conclusions Specific to Agency Comments
a. Findings:
The City has not received any substantive agency comments to date.
Conclusion(s):
No concerns noted.
B. CONCLUSION
For the reasons set forth in Section A the proposed code text amendments to chapters 22.130 and 17.80
SVMC, repealing and ultimately relocating the right-of-way permit procedures to Title 9 SVMC, and
other minor amendments related thereto are consistent with the requirements of SVMC 17.80.150(F) and
the Comprehensive Plan.
