These regulations shall apply to: a)New construction. b) Exterior Improvements ("facelifts") costing more than 20% of the assessed or appraised value of the building and land.

Nothing contained in this section shall require any change to an existing building or structure for which a building permit has been previously issued or applied for in the Community Development Department, and the application is deemed complete prior to the effective date of this Subarea Plan. 5) Ownership/Tenant Changes. Changes in property ownership or tenants of existing uses shall likewise require no change in any existing building or structure. 6) Limitations on Required Improvements. Where improvements and additions are made to existing buildings, requirements for renovation or enlargements apply only to net new floor area. Improvements and additions to existing buildings that increase non-conformities are not permitted. If regulations to be applied to net new floor area are not specified in this Subarea Plan,then the Community Development Director/Designee shall determine which regulations shall apply. Accessory structures proposed on developed sites shall not be required to meet frontage coverage requirements, minimum height requirements, or maximum setbacks. Accessory structures shall meet all applicable architectural standards in section 2.5.2 Height Massing and Composition. 7)Non-conforming uses shall be regulated by Spokane Valley Municipal Code(SVMC)Title 19.20.060,with the exception that the lawful use of land at the time of passage of this code may be continued unless the use is discontinued or abandoned for a period of 24 consecutive months. 8)Development regulations established in this Plan are specified as either Standards or Guidelines. Standards address those aspects of development that are essential to achieve the goals of the Subarea Plan. They include specifications for site development and building design, such as permitted land uses, building height and setbacks. Conformance with standards is mandatory. Such provisions are indicated by use of the words"shall", "must", or"is/is not permitted." Guidelines provide guidance for new development in terms of aesthetics and other considerations such as district character or design details. They're intended to direct building and site design in a way that results in the continuity of the valued character of the City of Spokane Valley. Whereas conformance with the Standards is mandatory, conformance with the Guidelines is recommended. Provisions that fall into this category are Ordinance 10-018,Amending Gateway Zones Page 2 of 6 indicated by the use of words"should,""may"or"are encouraged to."In various cases,the Guidelines provide a choice of treatments that will achieve the desired effect.
