PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Ordinances: 16-018; 18-014; 19-004; 20-008; 21-014 (adopting and amending Comprehensive Plan); 3/11/2025 Land Capacity Analysis report; 12/16/2025 Land Use Scenarios report; 3/10/26 study session on Land Use, Economic Development, and Natural Resources Elements; 4/14/26 study session on Housing, Climate, Utilities. BACKGROUND: The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires the City to conduct an update of its Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulations by the end of December 2026. The update is intended to bring cities up to date with relevant changes in the GMA, recent case law and to respond to changes in land use and population growth. We have two deadlines, as further explained in the attached Element Review Process document. The first is associated with State grants to fund the update process and requires submittal of a draft plan prior to the end of June 2026. This review is intended to provide early feedback on the plan’s development before submitting grant deliverables to the Department of Commerce. The second is the statutory deadline for adopting the updated Comprehensive Plan by December 31, 2026. The review process has been designed to gain input, make necessary changes, and maintain the unique Spokane Valley character. The drafts provided have been reviewed by the Planning Commission and include the changes requested. To streamline the update of the Comprehensive Plan, the draft elements have been organized into three groups. This phased approach allows the Planning Commission, Public and Council to focus on specific thematic areas for review and feedback. The groups are structured as follows: th The first group discussed at the March 10 Council meeting focused on foundational growth elements, including Economic Development, Land Use (specifically the Preferred Land Use Scenario), and Natural Resources. th The second group discussed at the April 14Council meeting covered specialized and evolving topics like Housing, Climate & Resiliency, and Public & Private Utilities. The third group, the focus of this meeting, will cover essential infrastructure and community services, including Parks, Transportation, and Capital Facilities. Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update, Capital Facilities, Transportation, and Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Elements Page 1 of 2 This process is a key part of the 2026 Periodic Update mandated by the GMA. Throughout the adoption process the community will be able to provide feedback at the Planning Commission Public Hearings, the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan portal or by contacting the Community and Economic Development Department directly.

The Plan accommodates new housing and economic development through modest density increases, targeted infill, and expanded housing options, without dramatic changes to neighborhood character. By leveraging existing infrastructure and transit, and addressing environmental risks such as drought and wildfire, the Plan supports intentional, balanced growth that preserves the City’s livability and community feel. STATE REQUIREMENTS This periodic update is required under Washington State’s Growth Management Act (GMA). It must be drafted by mid-2026 and adopted by December 31, 2026, with Planning Commission recommendation and City Council approval, to maintain compliance with state law and countywide planning policies. The update process includes robust public participation with workshops, surveys, and opportunities for community input, and integrates state mandates such as housing planning and climate considerations.The update will also be accompanied by a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review using an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). PROCESS SCHEDULE To meet the Commerce deadline in June 2026, we are circulating the draft elements that will compose the Valley 2046 comprehensive plan for review. Below is a timeline for development of the entire comprehensive plan with major milestones. These three review sessions are part of a larger process, and will help shape and refine the final comprehensive plan.

Furthermore, the LOS policy to a LOS standard that is unrealistic for the above reasons puts Spokane Valley in jeopardy of not being able to permit development, Comprehensive Plan. City streets have LOS standards set by the Washington State Department of Transportation - While the City’s LOS standards are based on intersection operations, it is impractical to calculate intersection LOS for the hundreds of intersections around the City. Therefore, as is typical for many Comprehensive Plan Transportation Elements, LOS is summarized at the street-segment level. In general, the intersections along the street segments can be expected to operate at the same LOS as the segment. operate the P.M. peak hour.

Draft Outline | Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Update Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities Element Review To City of Spokane Valley From: SCJ Alliance Date:May 28, 2026 Project: Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update Subject Capital Facilities Element Update Summary Purpose The purpose of this memo is to summarize how staff used the state’s periodic review checklist to update the Capital FacilitiesElement of the Comprehensive Plan in accordance with the Growth Management Act (GMA) periodic review requirements. This update is required under Revised Code of Washington 36.70A.130, which mandates that jurisdictions fully planning under the GMA conduct a periodic review and update of their comprehensive plans and development regulations to ensure continued compliance with state law. Approach Per the city’s request, this review updated data and statutory changes while keeping the majority of the content as it appeared and was written in the last Comprehensive Plan - level review o -wide planning process. Role of the Periodic Review Checklist The GMAperiodic review checklist is designed to assist local governments in evaluating whether their comprehensive plans and development regulations r law since the last update cycle, address current local conditions and growth projections, maintain consistency across plan elements, and align with Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs), where applicable. Staff used the checklist as a framework to audit and evaluate the Capital Facilities Element and identify areas requiring updates. Changes from 2016 Capital Facilities and Public Services Element Content updates were made throughout the chapter to reflect current data for city-owned facilities and external, contracted service providers. Updated information is reflected in this draft; some data is still being obtained. The facilities inventory was restructured into two tables distinguishing city-owned facilities from contracted service providers, with a new lifecycle and program renewal column added to each. A new table of city-owned facilities was added that references the 6-Year CFP, Parks Master Plan, Transportation Improvement Program, and Stormwater Management Plan as governing functional plans. Level of service content was expanded for several facility types. New LOS tables were added for Parks and Recreation, Transportation, Stormwater, and Fire and Emergency Services. The Transportation section was also updated to include a new subsection on transportation impact fees, referencing the applicable state statute and city municipal code. LOS data for Parks and Recreation and Transportation multimodal standards are still pending from the Parks Master Plan and Transportation Element updates respectively. The Challenges and Opportunities section was substantially reorganized according to staff feedback. The funding sources table was removed as it was found to not be comprehensive for all divisions of capital facilities management. The content is now organized by category with a summary overview table and descriptions for each of the asset divisions. o A “Capital Improvements Overview” table summarizes the key assets planned within the next five years for public safety, public works, transportation, and parks and recreation. o As transportation represents the bulk of the budgeted improvements, the 2026- 2031 TIP is summarized in Table 4, with the aggregated capital costs and funding sources. Ongoing grade separation projects as a challenge and opportunity was revised to be more concise and refer to the transportation element for additional context. Capital Facilities and Climate Planning Alignment as a challenge and opportunity was revised to focus on the concurrency requirements of both the GMA and County CWPPs. “Develop a Coordinated Approach to Asset Management” was added as a best practice. Feedback indicated that, as Spokane Valley does not formally coordinate asset management via a dedicated division or governing planning document, exploring a pilot asset management program could be added as a recommended best practice. Goals and Policies were reviewed with CWPPs and the GMA periodic checklist and found to primarily be in alignment. Several policies were added to more fully align with goals of the GMA and the new Climate Element.

Capital Facilities and Public Services Introduction 7§¸ ³§¤ # ¯¨³ « & ¢¨«¨³¨¤² %«¤¬¤³ ¨² )¬¯®±³ ³ The Capital Facilities Element guides the City in managing its investments related to facilities needed for growth and requirements. The element relies on a Capital Facilities Plan (CFP), which helps the City use growth occurs. The CFPincludes a six-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) with estimated ed investments to support the City’s economic development initiatives. 0« ¨¦ #®³¤·³ inventoried. Per WAC 365-196-415, at a minimum, they should include water systems, sanitary sewer systems, stormwater facilities, reclaimed water facilities, schools, parks and recreational facilities, and a minimum standard Level of Service (LOS), including an inventory, needs assessment, and include or reference the location and capacity of the facilities needed. Transportation standards are the only facilities required to have a concurrency mechanism, although a local government may choose to adopt a concurrency mechanism for other facilities. More details regarding the transportation standards can be found in the Transportation Element. In addition to GMA requirements, the Countywide Planning Policies for Spokane County (CWPP) contain several goals and policies regarding capital facilities and the provision of urban services. This Element is consistent with the CWPP and the adopted regional LOS standards. The City’s approach to capital facilities planning is unique in that special purpose districts and other private utilities provide many of our services including water districts and law enforcement. The city, however, owns and manages capital facilities which include assets such as municipal build parks and recreation, and stormwater. This Capital Facilities Element therefore provides information about the City’s facilities but also references the functional plans of each external service provider. The Element contains an inventory of capital facilities and service providers, and the existing and future LOS for each type of facility. Draft Capital Facilities Element | Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Update 4 Current Conditions Overview Spokane Valley owns and manages a number of capital facilities including roads, parks facilities, the police precinct building, a regional event center, the City Hall Building, and a street maintenance facility. The City also rents out a 10,000 square foot commercial building (Wallaroo’s) located on East Sprague Ave. There are several capital facilities that serve the City of Spokane Valley that are managed by other entities (see table below). In these cases, the city coordinates with the responsible governing service providers and jurisdictions to ensure consistency between capital facility plans. This collaborative review covers the construction of new facilities, improvements to existing facilities, the levels of needed facilities. As shown in Table1 and Table 2, public facilities and services in Spokane Valleyare provided by the City and by other entities. The following pages contain background information about these different types of public facilities and services.Capital facilities belonging to privately-owned utilities serving the City (electrical, natural gas, liquid or other gas pipelines, and telecommunication) are discussed in the Utilities Element of the Plan. City-/¶¤£ & ¢¨«¨³¨¤² centers, and entertainment facilities. As a relatively new city, incorporated in 2003, The City Services Administrator provides management and oversight of the City's facilities. This department is responsible for the overall operations and maintenance of the City Hall facility, the City's Valley Precinct facility, CenterPlace and the StreetMaintenance Shop. The Facilities Department is responsible for, among other things, grounds maintenance, janitorial services, lighting, and maintenance and repairs of the HVAC and other building systems. 4 ¡«¤ 1Ȁ #¨³¸-/¶¤£ & ¢¨«¨³¨¤² £ 0±®µ¨£¤£ 3¤±µ¨¢¤² Service ȝ & ¢¨«¨³¸ & ¢¨«¨³¸ 5²¤0±®¦± ¬¬ ³¨¢ %«¤¬¤³ ȝ 0±®¦± ¬ 2¤¤¶ « ȝ Lifecycle &´¢³¨® « 0« -´¨¢¨¯ « 3¤±µ¨¢¤² Spokane Valley City Hall 6-Year Capital Facilities Plan Annual review and approval of 6-year CFP. , ¶ %¥®±¢¤¬¤³ £ Police Precinct building 6-Year Capital Facilities Plan Annual review and approval of 6-year CFP. $¨²³±¨¢³ #®´±³ Draft Capital Facilities Element | Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Update 5 #¤³¤±0« ¢¤ 2¤¦¨® « %µ¤³ Senior Center; Parks and 6-Year Capital Facilities Plan Annual review and approval of 6-year CFP.

The Transportation Element details Spokane Valley’s roadway network, pedestrian facilities, bicycle facilities, public transit facilities, freight corridors, level of service standards, forecasted level of service, community and economic development priorities, and best practices for project prioritization. Transportation capital facilities include streets, bridges, pathways, and sidewalks. Spokane Valley is responsible for about 455 centerline miles of public roads. Overall, there are approximately 128 miles of major roadways (arterials and collectors) and 328 miles of local roadways. There are 20 bridges in the City’s inventory, 17 of which are owned and maintained by the city. Collectively, streets and bridges encompass over 84,000,000 square feet of asphalt and concrete surfacing within the street network. The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) lists all the transportation projects the City of Spokane Valley plans to pursue over the next six years. Spokane Valley Draft Capital Facilities Element | Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Update 8 coordinates with other agencies, including Spokane County and the WSDOT, when Comprehensive Plan EIS illustrates the types of projects that may be necessary by 2046 to maintain acceptable LOS in Spokane Valley. Spokane Valley evaluates transportation system performance using a Multimodal Level of Service (MMLOS) framework, which extends beyond traditional vehicle LOS to assess conditions for walking, bicycling, transit access, freight movement, and state-owned transportation facilities, consistent with RCW 36.70A.070(6). The framework is informed by the Spokane Valley Active Transportation Plan (SVATP), which evaluated existing The City's role under the MMLOS framework varies by facility type and mode: (Principal Arterials, Minor Arterials, and Collectors) Walking: Monitor pedestrian conditions and implement sidewalk improvements through capital projectsaccording to the LOS standards of sidewalk coverage and controlled crossing locations. Bicycling: Maintain the LTS dataset and implement bicycle facility improvements consistent with SVATP priorities, according to an LOS standard of LTS 2–3.

The revenue for this fund originates from a stormwater fee collected by Spokane County on behalf of the City. A stormwater fee is imposed upon every developed parcel within the City, which is an annual charge applied to each single-family unit and each 3,160 square feet of impervious surface for all other properties. These charges are uniform for the same class of customers and service facilities. In 2026, the annual charge is $63.

According to the GMA, no local comprehensive plan may preclude the siting of EPF. 47.06.140, state and local correctional facilities, solid waste handling facilities, and in- patient facilities including substance abuse facilities, mental health facilities, group homes, provided meet an essential public need, the facility may be considered essential, regardless of whether it is publicly or privately owned. An EPF may include a facility providing or housing a needed public service that is: Provided by or substantially funded by government; Provided by a private entity subject to public service obligations; or may be locally unpopular. Local and state governments are charged with the task of Draft Capital Facilities Element | Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Update 26 ensuring that such facilities, as needed to support orderly growth and delivery of public . In 2001 planning staff from all jurisdictions in Spokane County formed a task force to cooperatively develop a regional siting process for all essential public facilities, including Secure Community Transition Facilities (SCTFs). The Essential Public Facilities Task Force, Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), and technical staff from the jurisdictions developed a regional siting process for essential public facilities titled Spokane County Regional Siting Process for Essential Public Facilities. The City ofSpokane Valley, in conjunction with the remaining incorporated small towns and cities and with the City of Spokane and Spokane County, entered an interlocal agreement to follow the Spokane County Regional Siting Process for Essential Public Facilities when siting facilities of a state-wide or regional/county- preempted by state or federal laws, that siting process will apply to any and all future efforts to site an essential public facility of statewide or regional/countywide sign within Spokane County. Utility Services Coordination The City routinely coordinates with the contracted utility providers to coincide service expansion with City development projects; however, this can present both logistical and timing challenges, as utility planning cycles, funding availability, and infrastructure constraints do not always align with the City’s capital project schedules or growth demands. These coordination needs can introduce complexity in project delivery, requiring d phasing. -term system performance. By aligning utility upgrades with roadway, parks, and other capital improvements, the City can reduce overall construction costs, minimize disruptions to residents, and ensure infrastructure is appropriately sized and located to support future growth. This integrated approach also strengthens partnerships with service providers and helps the City proactively plan for resilient, reliable, and scalable utility systems that support community development objectives. Ongoing Freight Planning and Grade Separation Efforts Several recently completed grade-separation projects have delivered eliminating at-grade rail crossings vehicle delays by several hours per day, and enhancing safety by removing the risk of train- related collisions. Spokane Valley will need to continue to coordinate with BNSF, WSDOT, local utility purveyors, and other state and local partners to evaluate and deliver upon the Draft Capital Facilities Element | Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Update 27 remaining proposed grade separation projects, as required. The largest challenge will be to secure the remaining funding required; however, if the City pursues strategic investments in the near term, it will avoid costlier investments in the future and realize the projects’ co- freight mobility and railroad crossing safety efforts. Capital Facilities and Climate Planning Alignment Aligning the Capital Facilities Element with the aims of the Climate Element is consistent with new state planning requirements under the Growth Management Act. Capital facilities planning and climate hazards prioritization are related in that community assets have been recommendations. Proposed future capital projects must be evaluated and consistent with these recommendations to mitigate and adapt for hazards. See the Climate Element for a detailed discussion of the resiliency and emissions targets process and recommendations. Capital facilities planning must also be consistent with the Spokane County Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs). The CWPPs are a regional framework for comprehensive planning for Spokane County and its cities and towns. The CWPPs two main climate-related goals include: 1)Spokane County and all jurisdictions within its boundaries should strive to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. 2)Support efforts adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate hazards that are prevalent in Spokane County. Given these directives to achieve net-zero emissions and support hazard mitigation and adaptation strategies outlined in the Climate Element, Spokane Valley will consider these goals when evaluating the siting, design, and functionof future capital facilities. "¤²³ 0± ¢³¨¢¤² Capital facility plans are blueprints for the future; they identify economic, land use, and infrastructure development and/or redevelopment, which may include transportation, housing, and public facilities. These plans include broad community participation to ensure the City is planning and identifying the jurisdictional needs for the future. Regular updates are imperative to determine development and infrastructure needs as local conditions change Emphasizing Preventative Maintenance Future updates to the Comprehensive Plan and other related plans will consider addressing preventive maintenance. A component of effective maintenance typically includes preventative maintenance at regularly scheduled intervals to prevent premature failure and Draft Capital Facilities Element | Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Update 28 a baseline for a comprehensive preventive maintenance program. Develop a Coordinated Approach to Asset Management As Spokane Valleycontinues to grow and its infrastructure needs become increasingly complex, there is an opportunity to take a more coordinated approach to understanding and managing the assets that support city services. One way to begin building this capacity is througha pilot Asset Managers Working Group:a cross-departmental body composed of senior managers than a formal mandate, the pilot would be an invitation to explore what better asset stewardship could look like across the organization. As part of this effort, participating divisions would be encouraged to produce an annual report documenting the current value, condition, and service levels of their asset portfolios; emerging capital needs tied to growth demands; and critical funding gaps that, if left unaddressed, could defer costs and compound long-term liabilities. Over time, these planning processes, creating a more consistent and transparent basis for investment decisions across departments. The working group would also provide a space for departments to share asset management approaches, learn from one another, and gradually build institutional knowledge that does not currently exist in a coordinated form citywide. Cities such as Portland, Oregon have demonstrated the value of this kind of collaborative model. Portland's Citywide Asset Managers Group has produced annual reports aggregating infrastructure data across nine bureaus, ase for sustained investment in asset stewardship. Should the pilot prove effective, could explore whether establishing . The purpose of this infrastructure stewardship as an ongoing municipal priority and ensure that the best practices developed through the pilot working group continue to inform planning and investment decisions into the future.

The project includes stormwater improvements, ADA upgrades, ITS and an additive alternate for waterline installation. Model Irrigation District No. 18 (District) needs to install a new 18” water main within the limits of the project and requested that the water main be included as part of the City’s project to minimize the impact on the traveling public. Their work will be identified as separate bid schedule, as an additive alternate, in the construction bid documents. To pay for the water main, an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) has been prepared, signed by the District, and will need to be executed between the City and the District. The ILA signed by the District is included in the RCA. City staff plan to bring forward the ILA along th with the bid award during the June 9Budget Workshop Meeting. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: N/A. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: As per the Interlocal Agreement, the City will be responsible for the total construction contract costs. The Interlocal Agreement requires the District to reimburse the City for the main construction costs, plus a portion of traffic control, the construction management and material testing costs of the project. The overall impact on the City is negligible as costs incurred on behalf of the water district will be reimbursed by the water district.
