NEW BUSINESS: 2. Second Reading Proposed Ordinance 12-012, Special Event Permit—Cary Driskell After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to approve Ordinance 12-012 relating to special event permits. City Attorney Driskell explained the proposed ordinance, which would repeal that subsection dealing with provisions for allowing charitable solicitations in the City rights-of-way,and said that holding such an event in a parking lot would not require a permit. Mayor Towey invited public comments. Attorney Rick Delanty, 422 W. Riverside: said he is here as a Board Member for the Spokane Guild School and he spoke of their penny drive, which is their primary fundraising event; he said passage of this ordinance would eliminate their ability to solicit as they have done in the past; said he appreciates the concern for safety but asked Council not to vote for this but rather put this matter on hold, and permit the Spokane Guild School to come before Council and explain why this is so important for them; he said Council needs to see the impact this would have, and said they have never had any issues with traffic,and he suggested council look at the way the City of Spokane and Spokane County handle these issues. There were some brief questions from Council and corresponding answers from Mr. Delanty about how much the Guild raises on this fund drive;with Mr. Delanty adding that they don't believe there are any statistics addressing the safety issue. There were no other public comments. Several Councilmembers stated that safety is the primary concern and if this solicitation continues,it would be contrary to the recently enacted ordinance against panhandling. Vote by Acclamation to pass the ordinance eliminating the provision for charitable solicitation in the City's rights-of-way: In Favor: Mayor Towey, Deputy Mayor Schimmels, and Councilmembers Hafner, Grassel, Grafos, and Wick. Opposed: Councilmember Woodard. Motion carried. 3.First Reading Ordinance 12-013 Sign Code Amendments—Lori Barlow After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to advance ordinance 12-013 to a second reading scheduled for April 24, 2012. As per Senior Planner Barlow's Request for Council Action form and accompanying PowerPoint presentation, she Council Regular Meeting 04-10-2012 Page 2 of 6 Approved by Council: DRAFT explained the history of this proposed ordinance and of the description of the code text amendments, highlighting the seven categories of changes,after which Mayor Towey invited public comment. Steve Wineinger, President Pro Signs, Inc., 10021 E. Knox Avenue: said he feels staff has done a remarkable job in dealing with these proposals and the draft ordinance is probably one of the best he's ever seen; but that he would like to offer some proposed changes as he noted in his April 9, 2012 letter and attachments, which were distributed to members of Council; and he went over those proposals. Shannon Workman,2304 N Dollar Road, spoke in favor of directional signs as she did at the last meeting in April,and said that this proposal will meet her needs. There were no other public comments. There was discussion about the proposed changes from Mr. Wineinger, and remarks from Deputy City Attorney Konkright that any substantial changes would need to go back to the Planning Commission, and mention from Community Development Director Hohman that the engineering requirements are not included in this packet as they have not yet matured enough to bring forward. It was determined that all of the proposed changes could move forward for the second reading except the definition of"Multiple Building Complex" and the proposal to change the maximum height of a monument sign from 7' to 8.5' as those would need to be referred back to the Planning Commission for further consideration. Vote by Acclamation to advance the ordinance to a second reading: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried. It was noted the changes will be made for the second reading, and further adjustments can be made at that time if necessary. Mayor Towey called for a short recess at 7:24 p.m.,and he reconvened the meeting at 7:40 p.m. 4. Proposed Resolution 12-002 Adopting Governance Manual—Chris Bainbridge It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to approve Resolution 12-002, together with the attached Governance Manual, General Policy Resolution of Core Beliefs, Councilmembers'Statement of Ethics, and other attached appendices. City Clerk Bainbridge explained that the previously proposed changes have now been incorporated into the document; and City Attorney Driskell briefly explained the one page statement of ethics. Mayor Towey invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation:In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:None. Motion carried. 5.Motion Consideration: Bid Award Sprague Ave Reconstruction Project#0115—Steve Worley It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to award the Sprague Avenue Reconstruction Project to the lowest responsible bidder, Poe Asphalt Paving, in the amount of$2,481,291.21, and authorize the City Manager to execute the construction contract. Senior Engineer Worley explained the process leading up to this bid award, and said that this is contingent upon TIB (Transportation Improvement Board) approval, which is anticipated but not yet received. As a matter of disclosure, Deputy Mayor Schimmels said he noticed one of the bidders was his brothers, but has no interest in this project and can vote in an unbiased manner. Mayor Towey invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation:In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:None. Motion carried. 6.Motion Consideration: Pavement Management Funding Option 2—Mike Jackson,Mark Calhoun It was moved by Councilmember Grafos and seconded to dedicate 100% of the December 31, 2011 General Fund unreserved fund balance in excess of$26,000,000 for street preservation activities; and to dedicate the entire unreserved fund balance in Fund#311: Street Capital Improvements 2011+,for street preservation activities. Finance Director Calhoun explained the history leading up to this motion, explained what the motion would entail, and noted the Request for Council Action form contained an error and instead of the unreserved $2,045,202 in the fund balance in excess of$26 million, that figure is actually $1.5 million; and said if this motion passes, a subsequent budget amendment would be prepared for those appropriations. Mr. Calhoun also noted that the portion that was overstated,the $600,000,is not Council Regular Meeting 04-10-2012 Page 3 of 6 Approved by Council: DRAFT part of what council is voting on, but is additional information showing the total impact. Mayor Towey invited public comments;no comments were offered. Mayor Towey said he is hesitant moving forward with this as we still have the Sullivan Bridge to deal with, which is a $10 million liability; and said we don't know how far in the future we'll have to address that, that this October is the next inspection on the bridge and we could be looking at a $10 million bill three years from now; and said he favors waiting until until after that inspection, adding that 40% over $26 million is a huge commitment to street preservation that we haven't had in the past, and that this is a good start. Councilmember Wick agreed and mentioned the upcoming potential property purchase; said road preservation is very important but it is a recurring cost of the city and these funds are available as a one-time fund and there might not always be an excess of$26 million. Councilmember Hafner said 15% would be a minimum for a reserve, he realizes that is not enough money but if we want 50% of the balance, that amounts to about $17 million and said that is more than enough to take care of overhead expenses, and suggested we look seriously at 50%reserve and the money beyond that to put aside for the bridge. Councilmember Wick said previous councils set up a fund for a future city hall, now there is a civic facilities fund and often times that account gets used for different projects; and he agreed with the concept but said it is not always practical, and said we haven't given the 40% policy time to work. City Manager Jackson added that the policy was as a result of a lot of thought and serious discussion, and should be the topic of multiple discussions before we spend that down; that the greatest measure financially of a city is that ending fund balance,and cautioned for the need to think far into the future;and said he intends to have the ending fund balance as a topic at the June retreat so we can determine what is the right size for our city. Councilmember Woodard said he does not want to use the 100% every year, and if we were to get down to $15 million it would be a serious concern, but said there is a need to accelerate some of the road segments this year and to "get on top" of some of these roads so the dollars would go a lot further than would normally since costs are currently lower; and said business seems to be picking up; and stressed that he agrees with the motion for this year only. Deputy Mayor Schimmels said that he would hate to do this as next year something else will show up; that this is a recurring problem. Councilmember Grassel stated that she feels we have a road crisis as the cost doubles over the years when we do nothing, and agrees with this for one time. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Councilmembers Hafner, Grassel, Grafos and Woodard. Opposed: Mayor Towey, Deputy Mayor Schimmels, and Councilmember Wick. Motion carried. 7.Motion Consideration: Transfer of Western Half of Balfour Park from Spokane Transit Authority— Cary Driskell It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents to complete the transfer of the western half of Balfour Park (Spokane County Assessor's parcel number 45174.9031)from Spokane Transit Authority to the City of Spokane Valley. City Attorney Driskell went back over the history of the area as contained in his Request for Council Action form and as previously discussed. Mayor Towey invited public comments; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation:In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:None. Motion carried. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Towey invited public comments;no comments were offered. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS: 8. Potential Sprague Property Concept Plans—Mike Stone Parks and Recreation Director Stone went over some of the options and different concepts for the Library and Balfour Park,which depicted various amenities for a park,and different placements of the library and those amenities;with one option as a library/park site and the second option using the entire site as a park. Mr. Stone said the designs are not finalized and are just to show the potential and flexibility of the site, and said both the City and the Library will have over a year to jointly plan; reiterating that things can be Council Regular Meeting 04-10-2012 Page 4 of 6 Approved by Council: DRAFT changed,moved around, added or deleted; and said he is not seeking any direction tonight,but that this is an opportunity to show the site's potential. 9. Potential Sprague Property Purchase—Cary Driskell,Mike Jackson City Attorney Driskell said that as the City contemplates the Library District's request to purchase the vacant property, City staff determined that a traffic study should be performed analyzing the anticipated impacts of the proposed development; and said this would allow the parties to determine what the likely frontage and other infrastructure costs of development would be as neither the City nor the District wants to commit to a project of this scope without a reasonably good idea of the costs; he said the parties have agreed to split the cost of the traffic analysis with a cap of$16,000, so the financial impact of this item only would be up to $8,000. Mr. Driskell said that if Council concurs, this will be brought as an action item at the next council meeting, and that by that time, the Library Board would have met and we should know that outcome as well. There was consensus to move forward. At approximately 8:50 p.m., it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels, seconded and unanimously agreed to extend the meeting for an hour. 10. Crime Prevention,Law Enforcement Update—Deputy Snyder,Chief VanLeuven Police Chief VanLeuven and Deputy Greg Snyder gave an overview of crime prevention and of the Department's monthly report; with Deputy Snyder explaining the various things he does to help lower crime; and he discussed some of the activities of the SCOPE program and of their assistance in educating the public for such things as the block watch program; and said all this work collectively helps raise the awareness and gives the public tools to reduce risk and keep safe. 11.Advance Agenda—Mayor Towey Suggestions for future agenda topics included having an update from the Convention &Visitor's Bureau, and semi-trucks in residential areas. Mayor Towey also mentioned the upcoming deadline for submission of an application for consideration to the Ad Hoc Economic Development Committee. Councilmember Grafos said that next year is this City's tenth anniversary; and said as we move out of the recession and more companies start to look at our city to either purchase land or redevelop existing properties, he said he is puzzled and asked about the stormwater project on Sprague Avenue between Thierman Road and Park; and said this project was discussed almost three years ago by council; that he brought this up numerous times to urge that it get moved forward, but said it keeps getting put "on the back burner." Councilmember Grafos said it is his understanding that this project is not scheduled to be built in 2012; he said at the finance committee meeting, they were told the engineering could be completed quickly and there would be no problem in completing this project in 2012; he said it now appears that a project discussed and approved by the City Council and set as the highest priority project at the June 14, 2011 council retreat, cannot be built in 2012. Councilmember Grafos said there are major Fortune 500 companies, local developers and business owners looking at these large vacant parcels close to the City of Spokane, to purchase or re-develop. Councilmember Grafos said the Sprague/Appleway Corridor is the front door to our city; and most companies looking to expand or relocate want a 12-18 month advance horizon; he said the tax dollars we spend on infrastructure and aesthetic improvements on Sprague and Appleway will more than return to this city in the form of increased revenues. Further, he said "hope and years of committee reports should not be the economic development plan for the City of Spokane Valley;" and waiting for that one big idea to come out of years of committee meetings won't work in this economy; he said the market is what it is, and that we need to be proactive and ahead of the other cities in our market area who at this moment are "dressing up their front yards, working on both infrastructure improvements and certified sites which will help create jobs for their citizens." Councilmember Grafos said that prioritizing what we can do immediately with existing resources should be the first order of business for this council; and said he would like to ask the rest of the council for the Council Regular Meeting 04-10-2012 Page 5 of 6 Approved by Council: DRAFT agreement that these approved projects like the Gateway and the Swale Stormwater projects on Sprague, should be put on a fast track by the staff to be completed as soon as possible, this year. Councilmember Grassel asked when it got moved out of the 2012 budget. City Manager Jackson explained that when that was originally brought up, staff placed that in the original budget, then Council removed it from the budget, so it was just recently that we did an appropriation for those funds; and said even though the idea came up in the prior year, it was just recently appropriated; he said we are moving forward and Public Works is conducting the surveys and said we will do everything we can to move as rapidly as we can; he said he just learned tonight that it appears we will be funded for that project for $660,000 through the Statewide Stormwater Program. Mr. Jackson said he will look into both projects, and said that Parks & Recreation Director Stone is working on the final plan for the gateway project, and that we were going to come back once more to Council before we put that out; and said we had discussed having that done in conjunction with this City's tenth anniversary next year. Mr. Jackson again stated he will look into both projects and come back to council with an updated time frame of when we can have those done; he said we have also placed a large burden on public works to identify preservation projects right now, adding that doesn't mean we can't work on all fronts to get those projects done; and said there is no intentional delaying of these; and reiterated that even though that came up in 2011, Council did not include that in the budget and actually removed it from the budget and then just recently appropriated the money and moved forward. Mr. Jackson also mentioned that staff was not intentionally holding off with the hope the grant would be awarded,but it does now appear that both that project and the decant facility appear likely to be funded. Councilmember Grafos said he feels it important to move ahead as the other cities in this market area are all going after the same dollar; he said we have the funds to do it and should move ahead as quickly as possible. Mr. Jackson said he agrees and shares Council's sense of urgency; that staff tries to move ahead and get the projects done but they do take time; and he said perhaps staff could do a better job of keeping council advised of the status of these projects and that there is a lot of activity behind the scenes. 12. Final Finance Department Activity Report was for information only and was not reported or discussed. 13. EXECUTIVE SESSION: Potential Property Acquisition [RCW 42.30.110(1)(b)] and Pending/ Potential Litigation [RCW 42.30.110(1)(i)] It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to adjourn into executive session for approximately ten minutes to discuss potential property acquisition, and for an additional twenty minutes to discuss pending/potential litigation, and that no action is expected upon return to the open meeting. Council adjourned into executive session at approximately 9:30 p.m. At 9:59 p.m., Mayor Towey declared Council out of Executive Session. It was then moved by Councilmember Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m. Thomas E.Towey,Mayor ATTEST: Christine Bainbridge,City Clerk Council Regular Meeting 04-10-2012 Page 6 of 6 Approved by Council: CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: April 24, 2012 Department Director Approval: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ® new business ❑ public hearing ❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second Reading, Proposed Ordinance 12-013, Amendment to the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 22.110 (Sign Regulations) GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 17.80.150 and 19.30.040 PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council directed staff to review the sign regulations on July 5, 2011. Information was presented to the Council on August 15 and October 20, 2011. Council directed staff to proceed with amendments to SVMC 22.110 on October 20, 2011. A study session was held on March 27, 2012, and on April 10, 2012 Council voted to move the ordinance to the second reading with changes. BACKGROUND: Comment from Steve Wineinger of ProSign Inc. was provided to Council at the first reading of the ordinance. He requested that the ratio to allow additional signage be modified to increase the signage allowed; eliminate regulations that differ between non- residential zones; allow free standing and monument signs along all streets, not just arterials; increase the maximum height of monument signs from 7' up to 8.5'; prohibit electronic signs in office or non-commercial zones; limit the additional freestanding signs allowed on single business sites to monument signs; and modify the definition of Multiple Building Complex. The Council discussed the proposed changes and directed staff to modify the draft ordinance with the changes possible at this point in the review. The Freestanding Sign section of Table 22.110- 1 within the ordinance has been amended as follows: Freestanding Signs — Subdivision/Area Name/Multifamily All Zones 1* 10 32 n/a n/a n/a Y Complex/Institutional i * Per arterial street frontage 1 per 200 ft.of street frontage and 1 for each Single Business Neighborhood 1 20 100 n/a n/a 5 Y additional 200 ft.or fraction thereof in non- Business(NC) residential zones. Additional signs allowed on Multi-Business Complex Zones 1* 20 n/a 100 n/a 5 Y a multi-business complex site may all be free- standing;additional signs allowed on a single Single Business Mixed Use and 1** 30 n a 100 200 5 Y business parcel shall be monument signs. Nonresidential Multi-Business Complex Zones(except NC) 1* 40 250 n/a n/a 5 Y Nonresidential Freeway* All Nonresidential 1 50 250 n/a n/a 5 Y *Adjacent to I-90 only Zones Note: This eliminates the regulations pertaining to office and mixed use zones and does not require any additional text as noted in the comment letter. The proposals to increase the maximum height of a monument sign from 7' up to 8.5', to prohibit electronic message centers in office and non-commercial zones, and amend the definition of a "Multiple Building Complex" are outside of the scope of this amendment and are subject to appropriate public review. Mr. Wineinger provided additional comment to the Council that clarified his position on electronic sign location, and at the April 17, 2012 Council meeting staff was directed to address the information in the 2nd reading of the ordinance. However, even with additional clarification, the issue regarding electronic message center sign location, falls outside the scope of the prior public notice and review, and cannot move forward without a public hearing. SVMC 17.80.150.G indicates that if the Council desires to substantially modify the code text amendment the Council must conduct a public hearing on the modified proposal, or refer the proposal back to the Planning Commission for further consideration. If the Council would like to address the new issues at this time, the Council may wish to consider delaying further action, and conducting a public hearing. If the Council prefers to continue with the current action, and pass the ordinance with the changes reviewed thus far, than all remaining items will be referred to the Planning Commission. The attached ordinance reflects the changes specifically noted in the table above. No other changes were made to the draft Ordinance as previously presented. OPTIONS: Approve the ordinance, with or without minor changes; remand substantial changes back to the Planning Commission for a future scheduled public hearing; or schedule a public hearing to consider the substantially modified request. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve Ordinance 12-013 amending Spokane Valley Municipal Code 22.110, Sign Regulations.

As a result of the testimony provided the Commission directed staff to provide language that allows off-premise directional signage for businesses located on sites without arterial frontage. Currently the code prohibits all off-premise signage. According to the testimony, certain commercially zoned sites are difficult for customers to find and require directional signage to guide their customers. The proposed language creates an exception for off-premise signage if the purpose is to provide direction. The following draft language provides relief for businesses without adequate visibility while ensuring that off-premise signage does not create unnecessary visual clutter along the city's main commercial corridors: Off-Premises Directional Signs. It is the intent of this section to allow the limited placement of off-premises directional signs by co-locating on an existing conforming monument sign, freestanding sign, or building wall. The business requiring the directional sign must conform to the following criteria: 1. The business must be located on a private easement or local access street; 2. The business must prove an off-premises directional sign is necessary for directions to access the site; 3. The business and proposed sign must be located in a commercial, office or mixed zone area; 4. Text shall be limited to the business name, logo, a directional arrow or may include certain advancing language as "next right"; 5. The sign must be located on the nearest collector or arterial. If a business has double frontage, staff will review this unique situation to determine if two directional signs are warranted; 6. Sign area is limited to six square feet; this shall not be construed to allow the on- premises sign to increase its sign area; and 7. If the business using an off-premises directional sign leaves its location, the property owner where the sign is located is responsible for the sign removal within sixty days. CTA-06-11 PC Memo/February 9, 2012 Meeting Page 1 8. If the site has no existing signage or buildings, thn a freestanding sign meeting the requirements above may be allowed. Other comments received: Additional testimony received requested that 1) freestanding signs be allowed on sites with any street frontage,not just arterial frontage, 2) additional signs be allowed for multi- business complexes, and that signs must be spaced at least 250' apart on each street frontage. The following comments are provided regarding the requests. Freestanding signs are currently only allowed on sites with arterial street frontage. While there is a formula that may be utilized to determine height and area requirements necessary to convey messages as it relates to roadway speed, other primary concerns are compatibility with existing development and maintaining the character of development. While residential uses are often located in commercial zones adjacent to commercial uses, the general rational is that zoning acts as a buffer to separate the more intensive commercial uses from the lower intensity residential uses. In the City of Spokane Valley the Office Zones (Garden Office and Office) act as a transitional zone between commercial and low density residential since the existing uses typically include a blend of office and multifamily. Bearing this in mind, the further away from the commercial zones into an office zone a person travels, the more it begins to take on a residential character. Compatible signage helps to maintain that character. However, in the areas zoned MUC, it is common to see a blend of single and two family residential uses next to commercial uses and adjacent to arterials. Recognizing the diversity in the city's land uses staff recommends that commercial and industrial zoned properties be allowed a free standing sign per street frontage, and that Mixed Use and Office zoned properties be allowed free standing signs if adjacent to arterials. Currently the sign code allows an increase in sign area and sign height for multi-business complexes. For example, sites zoned Mixed Use or other Non-residential zones that contain a single business are allowed a sign from 100—200 square feet in area and up to 30' in height. A multi-business complex may have up to 250 square feet of sign of area and up to 40' in height. The fact that an additional sign area allowance is already provided should be considered when contemplating allowing additional signs, as well as the configuration of existing lots. As discussed, at the study session it is common for lots with narrow frontage to have more than one business located on the site. Providing an additional sign allowance may lead to an increase in the visual clutter,while the increase in sign area currently within the code,recognizes the additional signage needs, but restricts the signage to a single structure. Staff recommends no changes to our current provisions for multi-business sites. Currently the sign code does not contain a spacing provision between freestanding signs. Since only a single sign is allowed per site, except in certain instances, on-site spacing has not been an issue. Requiring a strict spacing between sign structures adjacent to street frontage would eliminate many opportunities for freestanding sites, since a huge percentage CTA-06-11 PC Memo/February 9, 2012 Meeting Page 2 of the sites have a frontage width far less than 250'. However, this does not appear to be the intent of the comment. Rather, the intent was to require spacing between sites on a single site. Based on staff's recommendation noted above, staff does not recommend spacing requirements between sign structures. The last request was specific to the requirement that a stamped, engineered drawing be provided for freestanding and monument signs over 6' in height. This question was forwarded to the acting Building Official and his response will be provided at the meeting.

PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION: City initiated text amendment to the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC), Chapter 22.110 Sign Regulations,to modify the regulations to allow A-frame signs,modify the requirements for temporary signs, increase the number of freestanding signs allowed for businesses on large lots fronting arterials, allow multi-family complexes to display wall signs, and require electronic signs to be equipped with an automatic dimming capability. APPLICANT(S): City of Spokane Valley APPROVAL CRITERIA: Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan, Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) Title 17 General Provisions,and Title 21 Environmental Controls. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission consider the additional information requested in conjunction with the public testimony and then approve CTA-06-11 with any modifications deemed appropriate. STAFF PLANNER:Lori Barlow,AICP, Senior Planner,Community Development Department REVIEWED BY: Scott Kuhta,AICP,Planning Manager,Community Development Department ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit 1: Proposed Text Amendment Exhibit 2: A. BACKGROUND INFORMATION On July 5,2011 staff presented an overview of the City's sign regulations to City Council. Council directed staff to conduct a comparison of the city's sign regulations to surrounding jurisdictions. At the August 15,2011 and October 20,2011 Council meetings staff provided a comprehensive comparison of Spokane Valley's sign regulations to the jurisdictions of Spokane,Liberty Lake,and Spokane County. While the comparison highlighted many positives about the City's sign regulations,it also identified several items that the Council were concerned with,including: Spokane Valley is the only jurisdiction that does not allow A-frame signs,the only jurisdiction to charge for a temporary sign permit,and along with Liberty Lake,the only other jurisdiction compared that requires a temporary sign permit. Other conclusions of the review were that the varying categories of temporary sign permits and varying display time frames were confusing,and too restrictive for business;multi-family uses should be allowed wall signage;churches should have options for signage even when in residential zones;and dimming requirements should be considered for electronic signs. As a result of the discussions,Council directed staff to initiate a code text amendment that would implement the following changes: 1. Develop dimming requirements for electronic signs(lighting standards); Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-06-11 2. Ensure that churches are allowed reasonable signage in residential zones; 3. Allow properties along Trent and other arterials to have additional sign allowances; 4. Eliminate temporary sign fees and permits; 5. Develop regulations for the purposes of enforcement to address the following topics: a. Temporary signs should not distinguish between banners,pendants,flags,etc or special events; b. Time frames for displaying temporary signs should be increased;or c. Time frames for temporary signs should be eliminated and replaced with aesthetic standards that would determine when signs should be removed; 6. Allow A-frames or sandwich boards for businesses and real estate purposes; 7. Eliminate landscaping requirements at the base of free-standing signs on developed sites; and 8: Allow Multi-family complexes to have wall signs. The draft language implements the changes requested by Council with one exception: Item#7, freestanding sign landscaping requirements,are being addressed by separate code text amendment to the Landscaping Regulations. The following is a brief discussion regarding the proposed changes and the code section affected by the change. Dimming Requirements(SVMC 22.110.060.B): Dimming requirements for electronic signs are accomplished by requiring the sign to have automatic dimming capability. This device adjusts the brightness of the sign to the ambient light. The brightness of the sign is a common concern and often a code requirement. Currently the City of Spokane requires verification that the dimming device is installed,while Spokane County allows staff to place additional conditions on the permit that protect adjacent property,that include lighting and location issues. Liberty Lake does not allow electronic message centers. Signage for Churches in Residential Zones(SVMC Table 22-110-1 —Location,Height, and Copy Area Regulations): Churches are routinely classified as institutional uses,and therefore the current code would allow churches in residential zones to have wall signs,and 10' high pole signs and monument signs if the site was adjacent to an arterial. The issue is that churches and other institutional uses often locate in residential zones,as well as commercial sites not adjacent to arterials since they are not dependent on visibility to operate. Churches, schools,hospitals,and government offices are examples of typical institutional uses. Each of these uses may have a need for signage other than wall signage. Language is proposed that identifies what uses are considered institutional uses in order to clarify that churches are allowed signage consistent with the intent of the code. It is also proposed to allow monument signs in any location,not limited to sites adjacent to an arterial. ,While the issue was originally thought to be specific to churches,the change as proposed affects all businesses, subdivisions,institutional uses,etc., not just churches,and allows monument signs on any site with street frontage. Small scale monument signs are generally compatible with residential areas and well suited for use along streets with lower speed limits. The current height limits in the SVMC associated with monument signs typically result in monument signs being used as identification signs,rather than electronic message centers utilized for advertising. The signs are generally unobtrusive and compatible with residential and mixed use commercial settings. Additional sign allowances along Arterials(SVMC Table 22-110-1 —Location,Height, and Copy Area Regulations): The review indicated that Spokane County and Spokane increase the signage allowance for large sites in commercial and/or industrial zones. Spokane Valley's only additional sign allowance is provided to lots with more than one frontage. For example,corner lots may have two free standing signs if both street frontages are arterials. The additional sign on the second street frontage (corner lot)grants appropriate sign visibility for its passing traffic on both streets.Allowing additional freestanding signs on large lots insure that large single development sites are generally afforded the same number of signs as Page 2 of 6 Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-06-11 multiple smaller sites. This provision maintains sign equity between the larger and smaller sites. The proposed language allows additional free standing signs at a ratio of 1 sign per 500 feet of lineal frontage. Temporary Signs(SVMC 22.110.050): Generally all communities regulate signs for special events— whether these signs are related to commercial enterprises(grant opening,sales,etc.)or institutional (places of worship, schools,non-profits)festivals,etc. The regulations generally include: the number of days the signs can be displayed;the number and type of advertising devices(signs,banners,balloons, etc.)that can be displayed;and their location on the property. This was consistent with all jurisdictions reviewed except for Spokane Valley,which did not stipulate number or size of temporary signs allowed. Currently the city classifies temporary signs into the following three categories: Banners; Pennants, flags,and streamers; and Special event signage. All three categories require a temporary sign permit with a fee,have varying display periods ranging from 7 to 60 days,but do not stipulate the number or area of temporary signs allowed to be displayed. The separate categories,with differing regulations,were confusing to the business owners,and the fee associated with the temporary sign permit was determined by the Council to be "cost prohibitive"to small business owners. Discussions with the Council highlighted conflicting concerns regarding temporary signs. The first being the cost associated with the temporary sign permit; second,if the permit was eliminated how display times could be enforced. Also, since temporary signage is not intended for long term display and is subject to fading,fraying,ripping,or otherwise showing significant wear and tear,a concern was noted that unmaintained signs would be indefinitely displayed. The regulations proposed allow a single temporary sign,up to 20 sq. ft.to be displayed, so long as it is in good condition. Additional signage could be displayed for a maximum of 30 days,twice per year,if a temporary sign permit is obtained. This allows flexibility for business to display a single temporary sign at their discretion indefinitely,while still providing additional allowance for special events. Confining unlimited temporary signage to a defined 30 day period balances the business owners need for occaisional extra signage and keeps the visual clutter of signage in check to protect the area's aesthetics.A-frame Signs(SVMC 22.110.050.I and K: A-frame or Sandwich Board signs are commonly used by business's to attract attention. A-frame signs are not allowed in the current code since they are categorized as a portable sign. Jurisdictions typically regulate the size of the sign,and number of the signs allowed, location for display,display hours,and spacing. Size limits generally range from 6—9 sq. ft.per side, while location is typically linked to distance from business entrance combined with controls to maintain adequate pedestrian areas. Spacing requirements prevent closely situated signs from lining the public sidewalk. This can occur when each tenant within a strip mall displays a sign in front of their store front. The proposed language allows each business the opportunity to display an unlighted a-frame sign on-site, up to 9 sq. ft. on each side,within 12' of the business entrance,and during business hours only. As written,the regulation would keep the signs close to the business and prevent signage from being displayed off-site. Additionally,a-frame signs would be allowed to be used for open house/directional signage with a limit of 5 square feet. Multi-family wall signs (SVMC Table 22-110-1 —Location,Height,and Copy Area Regulations): The current code does not allow multi-family buildings,or apartments,to display wall signage. Multi-family development is allowed monument or freestanding signs. The review indicated that the other jurisdictions provide a small allowance for wall signs ranging from 10—20 sq. ft.. The proposed language would allow each multi-family building a wall sign up to 20 sq. ft.without modifying the other applicable signage requirements. At the January 12,2012 study session the Planning Commission requested additional information regarding standard sizes for temporary banner signs and A-frame signs. A local vendor was contacted for this information. He indicated that common banner sizes ranged from 3-4 feet wide to 6-10 feet long. However,custom signs are not unusual since the vinyl comes on a roll and can be printed up to 52"wide Page 3 of 6 Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-06-11 by their company. He believes that the widest printing cabability in the Spokane area is 72". Of course the length is unlimited. Since charges are by the foot it would appear that cost is a defming factor in banner size. Pre-made A-frame signs generally have a printed space of 2'W X3'H with a carrying handle that extends to 3'6"in height or a smaller version that has a printed space of 2'WX2'H and additional height for the handle. The additional height of the handle would exceed the 3' height requirement. Real estate signs are generally 2'X2' or 24"X 18". A. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1. APPLICATION PROCESSING: SVMC Chapter 17.80, Permit Processing Procedures. The following summarizes application procedures for the proposal.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE TEXT AMENDMENT 1. Compliance with Title 17(General Provisions)of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code a. Findings: SVMC 17.80.150(F).Municipal Code Text Amendment Approval Criteria i. The City may approve Municipal Code Text amendment if it finds that(analysis is italicized): Page 4 of 6 Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-06-11 (1) The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff Comment: The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable policies of the Comprehensive Plan. It has no bearing on the signage standards developed for the Aesthetic Corridors, and maintains the intent of the code by minimizing sign clutter while allowing adequate signage for business. This is accomplished by allowing more discretionary use of temporary signs, but limiting the number of signs allowed to be displayed to a single sign unless otherwise permitted. Below are the relevant policies from the Comprehensive Plan: LUP-14.2: Adopt specific regulations for designated aesthetic corridors that: •Provide incentives for aesthetic design; •Require landscaping buffers adjacent to roadways; •Limit sign height and size; •Provide performance standards to adequately screen intensive land uses that have exterior clutter such as outdoor storage, exterior heavy equipment and/or exterior fabrication/assembly. •Prohibit off-premise signage and billboards LUP-14.3: Establish standards for the scale and intensity of commercial, retail and industrial signage that protect views and minimize signage clutter while allowing adequate business identification. (2) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, welfare,and protection of the environment; Staff Comment: Public health, safety and welfare are furthered by providing sign regulations that respect the purposes of signs from the perspective of the community and business. The amendment recognizes business need to advertise, while preserving an attractive commercial environment for the public. 2. Finding and Conclusions Specific to Public Comments a. Findings: As of January 20, 2012 no written comments have been received. Staff has had two phone calls with persons requesting that off-premise signage be considered. In both cases the persons were advised to attend the public hearing and provide comment, or to provide written comment discussing the request to allow off-premise signage. b. Conclusion(s): Adequate public noticing was conducted for CTA-06-11 in accordance with adopted public noticing procedures. 3. Finding and Conclusions Specific to Agency Comments a. Findings: Staff has received no agency comments as of January 20,2012. b. Conclusion(s): No concerns are noted. Page 5 of 6 Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-06-11 B.

SALES - SERVICE • INSTALLATION April9, 2012 City of Spokane Valley CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS 11707E. Sprague Ave. Spokane Valley, WA 99206 Re: Sign Code Recommendations Members of the City Council and Staff Below you will find the recommendations for changes to the sign code which are based on input from the Electrical Sign Industry as well as members of the business community. RECOMMENDED CHANGES TO THE PROPOSED "Table 22.1111-1, Additional Provisions, Freestanding Signs" We believe that the below listed 3 points should be"overarching" principals that need adhered to when discussing sign code specifics. 1) The allowed signage for ANY parcel should match the land use allowances for that parcel. In other words, if the zoning will allow for the business to be there, the sign allowance should follow. 2) Freestanding or monument signs should be allowed on ALL street frontages that a parcel enjoys. 3) Each parcel should be treated separately. A"parcel" would be defined as a piece of property with it's own separate tax ID number. Freestanding Signs, Section marked "A" 1) We believe this should read as follows: "1 per 200 ft. of street frontage and 1 for each additional 200 ft. or fraction therof in all non- residential zones." 2) There should be NO minimum spacing requirement. Refer to the site map"of the Hico located at the corner of Sprague Ave. and Mullan (Exhibit A). Freestanding Signs, Section marked "13" 1) This should read the same as above for"A". 2) We believe that these signs should not be limited to arterials only. Attached you should find 3 photos (Exhibit B) of medical building signs that are in the GO and 0 zones that are Freestanding signs. This is not meant to be a comprehensive inventory but illustrates signs that would NOT be allowed under the proposed language. Monument Signs, Column marked "Height" "C" 1) The proposed height of T is too restrictive when considering bases which would offer clearances designed to keep the bottom of the electrical sign above landscaping, sprinklers and snow removal. We would suggest adopting the 8.5 foot height that the City of Liberty Lake uses (Exhibit C). Suggested Additions to the Code I) No Electronic Message Centers are allowed in Office or non-commercial zones. 2) For multiple business parcels, all signs may be Freestanding signs. 3) For single business parcels, 1 sign per street frontage may be a Freestanding sign. Any addition signs allowed by code per street frontage must be Monument signs. RECOMMEDED CHANGE TO THE EXISTING "DEFINITIONS" 1) This is more a matter of`housekeeping' yet has the potential to create issues during application. The title of this paragraph (Exhibit D') "Multiple building complex" is in conflict with the "body"of the definition. The title is much snore restrictive than the body of the definition. We would suggest the"title'' be changed to read "Multiple business or use complexes". If you have any questions,please don't hesitate to call me at 927-3925. On behalf of the electrical sign industry, we appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you and to the CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY? Respectfully, PRO SIGN, INC.

Ms. Barlow explained during a presentation to City Council regarding the sign regulations, the City Council had questions and requested that staff make some comparisons to surrounding jurisdictions and requested some changes be made to the current regulations. Ms. Barlow discussed the items in the current code that will be addressed in the proposed upcoming amendment. • allow A-frame signs • modify the requirements for temporary signs • increase the number of freestanding signs allowed for businesses on large lots fronting arterials • Clarify that churches are allowed signage in any zone • allow multi-family complexes to display wall signs; and • require electronic signs to be equipped with an automatic dimming capability A-frame signs.: Currently the code prohibits A-frame signs. Businesses have expressed the desire to have them back. Ms Barlow stated that A-fame signs will be allowed with the amendment, max. size would be nine sf., no higher than three feet, cannot be located farther than 12 feet from the business entrance, can only be used during business hours, be well maintained, one sign per business and real estate signs would be limited to five sf. Ms. Barlow stated that these signs had been regulated previously to reduce the clutter along the roadways. She also mentioned the current proposal is for the business not to move the sign more than 12 feet from the business entrance, and that there could be some concern regarding this point. Free Standing signs: Currently each business is allowed one free standing sign per street frontage. Council would like to create standard based on frontage. The proposed amendment would change to allow one freestanding sign for each 500 feet of lineal frontage, all other requirements stay the same. Other jurisdictions have similar requirements - the City of Spokane; 300 feet, Spokane County; 500 feet. Ms Barlow stated that staff felt that Spokane Valley is suburban and more conservative, therefore felt the 500 foot decision. Commissioner Bates wanted to know if the size of the sign was regulated. Ms. Barlow responded yes, but the City was not aware of issues based on the size of the sign. Commissioner Carroll asked if there would be an inequity between shallow lots and deep lots and did any jurisdictions using total square footage of lot instead of frontage. Most jurisdictions have standards for spacing of the signs. Commissioner Stoy asked if signs had setbacks, the response is yes, but not the same as building setbacks. Commissioner Stoy stated he felt this could lead to clutter. 1 Wall signs on multi-family complexes: Currently the City did not have allowance for multi-family complexes to have a wall sign to state the name of complex on wall. This amendment would allow such a sign for them. Dimming requirements of electronic signs: Ms Barlow stated this was common concern for electronic signs to require dimming capability. The proposed language would require all new electronic signs to automatically adjust based on ambient light. Signs for churches in residential zones: Ms. Barlow informed the Commissioners that currently churches are only allowed an monument or pole sign if on an arterial. The proposed language would allow a monument sign in any zone. Ms Barlow said that changing this regulation would allow monument signs to be allowed in all zones, regardless of the business, not just churches.. Commissioner Stoy asked a question regarding probable reader boards, which Ms. Barlow stated are still prohibited. Temporary signs — Currently Ms. Barlow said, temporary signs are allowed with a permit only twice a year for 30 days. The proposed amendment would allow a single temp sign whenever a business would like. The sign could not be bigger than 20 sf, and must be well maintained. The amendment would also allow additional signage twice a year, for up to 30 days, for a fee. The questions Commissioners posed after Ms. Barlow's presentation why would it be a concern if A-frame signs were limited to 12-feet from business entrance. Mr. Kuhta gave an example of a business in strip mall that might need to have the sign farther from the door.. Commissioner Carroll wondered if the dimensions of signage material should be taken into account when basing the sign sizes. Commissioner Bates wondered if staff knew how many illegal temporary signs we in the City and confirmed that the City is complaint driven in regard to enforcement. January 26, 2012 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Public Hearing for CTA-06-11, Proposed amendments to Title 22.110 Sign Code Senior Planner Lori Barlow made a presentation to the Planning Commission regarding the proposed amendments to the sign regulations in Title 22.110. • Allow A-frame signs -A-frame signs are not allowed in the current code since they are categorized as a portable sign. Jurisdictions typically regulate the size of the sign, and number of the signs allowed, location for display, display hours, and spacing. Size limits generally range from 6 — 9 sq. ft. per side, while location is typically linked to distance from business entrance combined with controls to maintain adequate pedestrian areas. Spacing requirements prevent closely situated signs from lining the public sidewalk. This can occur when each tenant within a strip mall displays a sign in front of their store front. 2 The proposed language allows each business the opportunity to display an unlighted a-frame sign on-site,up to nine (9) sq. ft. on each side, within 12' of the business entrance, and during business hours only. As written, the regulation would keep the signs close to the business and prevent signage from being displayed off-site. Additionally, a-frame signs would be allowed to be used for open house/directional signage with a limit of five (5) square feet. • Change the requirement to allow more than one free standing sign per street frontage The review indicated that Spokane County and Spokane increase the signage allowance for large sites in commercial and/or industrial zones. Spokane Valley's only additional sign allowance is provided to lots with more than one frontage. For example, corner lots may have two free standing signs if both street frontages are arterials. The additional sign on the second street frontage (corner lot) grants appropriate sign visibility for its passing traffic on both streets. Allowing additional freestanding signs on large lots insure that large single development sites are generally afforded the same number of signs as multiple smaller sites. This provision maintains sign equity between the larger and smaller sites. The proposed language allows additional free standing signs at a ratio of 1 sign per 500 feet of lineal frontage. • Allow a wall sign for multi-family complexes. The current code does not allow multi-family buildings, or apartments, to display wall signage. Multi- family development is allowed monument or freestanding signs. The review indicated that the other jurisdictions provide a small allowance for wall signs ranging from 10—20 sq. ft.. The proposed language would allow each multi- family building a wall sign up to 20 sq. ft. without modifying the other applicable signage requirements. • A requirement for electronic signs would require them to automatically dim based on the ambient light. Dimming requirements for electronic signs are accomplished by requiring the sign to have automatic dimming capability. This device adjusts the brightness of the sign to the ambient light. The brightness of the sign is a common concern and often a code requirement. Currently the City of Spokane requires verification that the dimming device is installed, while Spokane County allows staff to place additional conditions on the permit that protect adjacent property, that include lighting and location issues. Liberty Lake does not allow electronic message centers. • Church signs in residential zones. Churches are routinely classified as institutional uses, and therefore the current code would allow churches in residential zones to have wall signs, and 10' high pole signs and monument signs if the site was adjacent to an arterial. The issue is that churches and other institutional uses often locate in residential zones, as well as commercial sites not adjacent to arterials since they are not dependent on visibility to operate. Churches, schools, hospitals, and government offices are examples of typical institutional uses. Each of these uses may have a 3 need for signage other than wall signage. Language is proposed that identifies what uses are considered institutional uses in order to clarify that churches are allowed signage consistent with the intent of the code. It is also proposed to allow monument signs in any location, not limited to sites adjacent to an arterial. While the issue was originally thought to be specific to churches, the change as proposed affects all businesses, subdivisions, institutional uses, etc., not just churches, and allows monument signs on any site with street frontage. Small scale monument signs are generally compatible with residential areas and well suited for use along streets with lower speed limits. The current height limits in the SVMC associated with monument signs typically result in monument signs being used as identification signs, rather than electronic message centers utilized for advertising. The signs are generally unobtrusive and compatible with residential and mixed use commercial settings. • Changing the requirements for Temporary signs. Generally all communities regulate signs for special events — whether these signs are related to commercial enterprises (grant opening, sales, etc.) or institutional (places of worship, schools, non-profits) festivals, etc. The regulations generally include: the number of days the signs can be displayed; the number and type of advertising devices (signs, banners, balloons, etc.) that can be displayed; and their location on the property. This was consistent with all jurisdictions reviewed except for Spokane Valley, which did not stipulate number or size of temporary signs allowed. Currently the city classifies temporary signs into the following three categories: banners; pennants, flags, and streamers; and special event signage. All three categories require a temporary sign permit with a fee, have varying display periods ranging from 7 to 60 days, but do not stipulate the number or area of temporary signs allowed to be displayed. The separate categories, with differing regulations, were confusing to the business owners, and the fee associated with the temporary sign permit was determined by the Council to be "cost prohibitive" to small business owners. Discussions with the Council highlighted conflicting concerns regarding temporary signs. o The first being the cost associated with the temporary sign permit; o second, if the permit was eliminated how display times could be enforced. o Also, since temporary signage is not intended for long term display and is subject to fading, fraying, ripping, or otherwise showing significant wear and tear, a concern was noted that unmaintained signs would be indefinitely displayed. The regulations proposed allow a single temporary sign, up to 20 sq. ft. to be displayed, so long as it is in good condition. Additional signage could be displayed for a maximum of 30 days, twice per year, if a temporary sign permit is obtained. This allows flexibility for business to display a single temporary sign at their discretion indefinitely, while still providing 4 additional allowance for special events. Confining unlimited temporary signage to a defined 30 day period balances the business owners need for occasional extra signage and keeps the visual clutter of signage in check to protect the area's aesthetics.+ Ms. Barlow stated that at the study session the Commissioners had questions regarding the amount of revenue that temporary signs generated. Ms Barlow stated that staff had responded in an email earlier that temporary signs could not be broken out however that in 2011 signs total generated less than $9,000. The other question the Commissioners had raised was standard sizes for signs. Ms Barlow stated she reviewed two kinds of signs. A-frame signs and banners. She said that generally A-frame signs are two feet (2) by three feet (3) plus the handle on top, which when opened would stand shorter than the three foot limitation. Banner fabric generally can be made in any size requested however the most requested size of a banner seemed to be three feet (3) by six feet(6) and four (4) feet by ten (10) feet. Chairman Bates asked if the Commissioners had any other questions for staff. There were none. Chairman Bates opened the public hearing at 6:37 p.m. Commissioner Stoy read the rules for a public hearing. Steve Wineinger, 10021 E Knox, ProSign: Mr. Wineinger stated he was in favor of the proposed amendments except he felt the he would like to propose some verbiage changes to the amendment for free standing signs. Mr. Wineinger stated he would like the Commissioner to propose replacing the word arterial with the word street, in relation to the allowance for freestanding signs. Mr. Wineinger stated he did not feel it was equable to have freestanding signs restricted to arterials. Mr. Wineinger also proposed to add a spacing requirement of 250 ft or more apart for more than one sign freestanding on large lots. Mr. Wineinger also stated he felt there should be an allowance for extra signage for more than one business on one lot. He stated that he felt they should be allowed so each sign can be same size and height,but they have to be 250 feet apart. Mr. Wineinger stated the other item he would like to address is any sign higher than six (6) feet in height must have engineered drawings. He stated that in the City of Spokane only requires required engineering when the sign is over 30 ft in height or 100 square feet in size. Mr. Wineinger stated he feels the City of Spokane Valley should also adopt this requirement. Mr. Wineinger stated he felts the dimming requirement for electronic signs are very important. David Hazard, 13218 E 10th: Mr. Hazard stated he was the owner of Copy Cat Printers. Mr Hazard stated he felt the reason he sees empty buildings on Sprague, is due to restrictions placed on small businesses. Mr Hazard stated he felt that after incorporation the adopted new sign code caused lost customers because it did not allowed off premise signs. Mr Hazard stated he was not in favor of more restrictions. Mr. Hazard stated that signs allow businesses to communicate with the public. Mr. Hazard stated that the Commissioners need to realize small business is important to our small city. 5 Shannon Wortman. 2304 N Dollar Rd: Ms. Wortman stated she worked for Ferguson: She shared she was attending the public hearing in order to get a directional signage to their business. Ms. Wortman stated it is difficult for people to find their business, which is off Trent and they need a sign to point people to their business. She stated that billboards are expensive. Ms Wortman stated she had had a sign on the corner of Dollar and Trent, however do to current regulations off premise signs are not allowed and they were required to take it down. She stated that after they were required to take it down, the traffic flow in their show room dropped of drastically. Commissioner Higgins made a statement regarding his concern about the fact that there is not enough people here to comment on this subject, and inquired of the public participants what they thought should be done to increase participation? Steve Wineinger —returned to the podium. He stated that he understood a mailing had gong e out to list of competitors. He stated that some people feel like people feel what they say will fall deaf ears. Mr Wineinger said he felt direct mail would be best. Commissioners had a conversation with Mr. Wineinger about sign companies. Commissioner Bates asked Mr. Wineinger what his opinion was of current sign code. Mr. Wineinger stated that on a 10 scale, he felt it was about an 8.5. Ms Barlow respond to Commissioners Higgins comment about how the City distributed notices regarding the public hearing, City staff published a notice in newspaper, the department emailed to its contact list of approx. 800 contacts, did a direct mail letter to the sign companies who had obtained business licenses, and anyone who had done business, in the City. Ms. Barlow stated staff did the best effort to get information to out to people. Ms. Barlow said she would like to specifically address a couple of comments made which were made. Ms Barlow said it seemed there was a misunderstanding regarding the temporary signs. The time limit for displaying a temporary sign and the requirement that a sign could only be 12 feet from the business entrance is only based on A-fame signs. Ms. Barlow stated the City had many businesses which were not on an arterial. She stated the free standing signs regulations only apply to arterial frontage. Other signs are allowed on other streets when the business is not allowed a pole sign. Ms Barlow warned the Commissioners care should be given when allowing off premise signage. She stated she recognized the need for some businesses to need off premise signage, however when allowing off-premise signage the most popular corners can become congested, and then it becomes an issue as to how to control the clutter in order to maintain an attractive community. Ms. Barlow explained each amendment proposed and how each amendment would affect the sign code. A-frame signs — Currently A-frame signs are not allowed. The proposed amendment would allow business one A-frame sign which could not be taller than three (3) feet, the copy area cannot be larger than nine (9) sf, 6 Commissioner Higgins stated he was not trying to be critical of staff's efforts to try and contact people. Commissioner Neill asked why monument and wall signs were allowed on streets but pole signs were restricted to arterials. Sr. Planner Barlow related the scale of the sign relates to the zoning district, it is in order to keep it in scale with the surrounding neighborhoods. Director Hohman stated the City Council had requested staff to some specific items to look some specific items in the code. Mr. Hohman stated off-premise signs could to be an issue for staff to review at a later time. He told the Commissioners about a program staff have been working on the regarding the `blue signs' on Appleway. He also shared that he thought a program of wayfaring signs would work as well for the off-premise signs, however it would take more work than the time for these amendments would allow and pertain to the whole City. Mr. Hohman said these sign code amendments will be part of fixing the vitality of the corridor. Mr. Hohman explained to the Commission the options which were available to them regarding these amendments and the process moving them forward. Commissioners took a break at 7:28 p.m. Commissioners reconvened at 7:33 p.m. Bates asking about allowances Commissioner Bates asked Mr. Wineinger for suggestions regarding couple issues, how to accommodate off premise signs and get the businesses what they need. Steve Wineinger: Mr. Wineinger stated he felt that directional signage could be a possible solution. He said allow a sign that is only six to eight sf, in copy area and not taller than six ft in height. He also stated that a business could also be allowed an off-premise sign, if they were allowed to put a sign on an existing pole sign, on another property, as long as did not exceed the square footage allowance of the sign at that location. He also restated that if the word arterial was replaced with street then she (Ms Wortman)would be allowed a pole sign at her location. David Hazard: Mr. Hazard returned to the podium and stated what an awful problem it would be if every building had a sign stating that they were open for business. There was discussion regarding directional signs between the Commissioners and staff regarding zoning, directional signs, options found in other jurisdictions as options for alternatives for the off premise signs. Mr Hohman asked the Commissioners what more information did they want staff to provide to them regarding the current amendments. It was requested to have more information regarding off-premise signs and the wayfaring signs. Mr. Hohman stated the Commissioners it would require staff to do some research to provide that information. Mr. Hohman reminded the Commission City Council had made the request for the specific six amendments and to do the extra research could possibly delay the current amendments. Mr. Hohman stated that staff could return later with the information regarding the off-premise signs and wayfaring signs for a more in- depth discussion. Commissioners asked if the amendments could be passed with the information before them currently, could the current amendments be modified slightly and then moved forward. Staff responded yes to both questions. Commissioner Higgins made a motion to continue the public hearing to February 9, 2012. This motion was passed unanimously. February 9, 2012 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Unfinished Business: continued public hearing CTA-06-11, proposed amendments to Title 221.10 Sign Regulations. Sr. Planner Lori Barlow gave a short presentation regarding updates on the sign code and answer questions regarding the issues the Commissioners had brought up at the last meeting. Ms. Barlow reminded the Commissioners of the issues which were being proposed for amendment: • Allow A-frame signs • Modify the requirements for temporary signs • Increase the number of freestanding signs allowed for businesses on large lots fronting arterials • Clarify that churches are institutional uses and allow monument signs for all institutional and commercial uses along any street frontage • Allow multi-family complexes to display wall signs; and • Require electronic signs to be equipped with an automatic dimming capability At the public hearing Ms. Barlow stated that the following items were brought up as requests to either modify the proposed amendments or proposed additional changes to the sign regulations as follows: • Allow off-premise signs • Allow free standing signs on all streets not just arterials • Allow additional free standing signs for multi-business complexes • Require a 250' minimum spacing for free-standing signs • Only require stamped engineered drawings for signs over 30' tall or 100 sf Ms. Barlow stated she had check with the City's Acting Building Official stated the requirement for drawings for signs over seven feet appears to have been an administrative determination by a previous Building Official (Tom Sholtens), however he was still looking for a actual building code reference. Mr. Powell stated (in his email) he will be discussing this issue with the regional Building Officials to see if they are aware of the requirement. Ms. Barlow stated she has also received a request for multi-business complexes to be able to have one sign for 250 ft of frontage and one for every additional 200 ft of frontage or fraction thereof. Ms. Barlow explained staff have proposed a new clause for off-premise directional signs related to the request pertaining to testimony received at the previous meeting. 8 Staff is proposing that the City allow the limited placement of off-premises directional signs by co-locating on an existing conforming monument sign, freestanding sign, or building sign. These off-premise signs would only be allowed for uses located in commercial, office or mixed use zones, text would be limited to business name, logo and directional information. Ms Barlow stated that the request for additional signage for multi-business complexes was looked at however she explained the current additional allowances for multi-business and stated that at this time staff felt no change was needed. Ms Barlow then addressed the request to change the requirement for freestanding signs from being on an arterial to being on a street. Ms. Barlow discussed the link to free standing signs to from arterials to streets. She stated that in the memo provided, it explained the considerations were size and height to get the message across,what types of signs were compatible with the surrounding uses. Ms. Barlow stated cities use zoning for to make transitions in uses. She pointed out if the word arterial is removed and changed to street, then pole signs would be abutting to residential districts. It is staff's suggestion to leave the arterial frontage, this will help protect the residential uses. However, Ms. Barlow said that the code could be modified to say one per street front in commercial and industrial zoned but one per arterial frontage in office and mixed use zones. Based on the previous meeting's input and Commission questions staff currently recommends the following changes to Chapter. 22.110 to: o Allow on premise A-frame signs for business o Allow A-frame signs for real estate purposes o Modify the requirements for temporary signs o Increase the number of freestanding signs allowed for businesses on large lots fronting arterials o Allow monument signs for all institutional and commercial uses along any street frontage o Allow multi-family complexes to display wall signs; and o Require electronic signs to be equipped with an automatic dimming capability Steve Wineinger, ProSign 10021 E Knox: Mr. Wineinger stated he would like to address each of the following items: Off-premise signs — Mr. Wineinger stated he would like to propose making the signs 15 sf instead of 6 sf. Mr. Wineinger stated that if the sign must piggy back an existing sign, then it should be allowed to match what is already there. He also said if there is not an existing sign to piggy back onto, then the business must build a monument sign. He shared the issue with most monument signs in order to be able to be seen in all weather,must stand a with a height of two and one half to three feet off ground. He stated that this would be a four foot by four foot square, no less. Aesthetically a monument sign better, if there is no sign existing to attach the 9 directional sign to. Mr. Wineinger said that the provision to remove the sign if the business left should not be included, because if a new business were to relocate there they would need the sign. Mr. Wineinger said that he felt it would be to excessive to have to do, the new sign would have bottom billing, and it would require dismantling the whole structure in order to remove the part that was added. He also felt it added enforcement issues. Mr. Wineinger said he thought that businesses with an interior lot or lots that fronted two streets would require Mr. Wineinger said that he would like to address spacing of freestanding signs. Mr. Wineinger stated he would like to propose one freestanding sign for every 250 feet and one freestanding sign for each additional 200 feet or fraction thereafter. Mr. Wineinger stated several instances where he felt that additional freestanding signs would be more applicable to the properties based on this new footage standard he is suggesting, HiCo, Opportunity Plaza, OZ Fitness. Mr. Wineinger stated he was not proposing a spacing requirement between the signs, which he stated could have unintended consequences. Mr. Wineinger said he wanted to proposed that freestanding signs be allowed not just on arterials but also on streets. He used the Franz Bakery thrift store being on a street and not being able to get a freestanding sign in order to be seen. Mr. Wineinger also mentioned the issue of fronting on two streets. Mr. Wineinger said he felt business should be allowed to have a freestanding sign on a street in a residential area. He said if the business has a restrictive zone across the street make it restrictive to only allow monument in that case. Commissioners asked what is the science for the size of sign? Mr Wineinger stated that at 30-35 mph a sign which has letters that would be readable need to be approximately would be seven inches high. If it was a reader board signs the letters need to be about eight inches tall, most enter signs are five to six inches. Shannon Wertman. 2304 N Dollar Rd: Ms. Wertman stated she would just like to thank the Commission for listening to and considering the needs of our business. David Hazzard, 13218 E 10th: Mr. Hazzard stated he felt that a very restrictive sign ordinance is what lead to so many empty buildings. Thought process have to control signs, mess up the beauty of the city. Mr. Hazzard said he felt businesses should be allowed to have all the signs they want as long as they are not in the street, on the sidewalk, and do not pose a safety hazard. Mr. Hazzard said would it be so bad if there were signs all over the place, he it would mean all the buildings would have businesses in them. Mr Hazzard stated he felt that we should get the business first,be successful first. Seeing no one else that wished to testify, the Chairman closed the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. Commissioner Stoy made a motion to recommend approval of CTA-06-11, amendments to Title 22.110 to the City Council. The following is discussion of the amendment. Commissioner Stoy complemented staff on the excellent job in preparing and explaining the amendments. Commissioners noted that an A-frame was allowed to be nine square feet but a directional sign was limited to six square feet. Commissioners felt maybe 12 square feet for a directional sign might be more 10 appropriate. They discussed A-frame signs being within 12 feet of the business entrance. Stating there would only be four or five businesses which would benefit with the sign at this location. Commissioners discussed allowing A-frame signs behind the sidewalk. A consideration would be the sidewalk is backed by swales, how would the signs be seen. Suggestion was that they could sit on the edge of the swale,behind the landscaping strip but not in parking stall. Commissioner Neill stated he appreciated the proposed additional language for the off-premise signs but he had read the information from Mr. Wineinger and would like to take that into account as well. Commissioner Sands stated she had listened to the recording of the previous meeting and had and issue with changing requirement for freestanding signs from arterials to streets. She stated she would not want signs backing up to where she lived. Commissioner said maybe they should be addressed on a case by case basis, like Franz Bakery. Commissioner Bates said the Commissioners must weigh among themselves what everyone has to say, but that the relaxation of sign codes is important. He felt that public input to add more signs was good, however the problem with more signs is where does clutter stop? Mr Bates said he would like to relax the regulations however many temporary signs had been up for long time and showed wear. A 30- 60 day temporary permit would allow business tell us what they want. It is our responsibility to represent citizens as well as businesses. Mr. Bates said that businesses want to run their business the way they see fit, spend the money they want to. Within reason, we must try and balance the two issues. Commissioner Hall stated he had an issue with the requirement that a business had to provide proof of the need for the directional sign. His suggestion was assure no one was located on an arterial. Commissioners asked if adding to an existing sign, would staff allow the existing sign to grow. Yes, but not beyond the sign allowance. Discussion involved the difficulty of removing a sign after business close. It would be easy to remove the text only, and it was believed there is a provision in the code now which requires the business to turn the sign around. Commissioners did mention the location of business is a business choice, choosing not to pay higher rent on a site off an arterial is part of that choice. Businesses off an arterial are allowed signage,just like any other business, but the regulations do not allow another sign just because the business chooses not to pay a premium rent. The Commissioners felt if there was a sign available to co-located on, the additional sign should be proportional to the existing structure. Commissioners again discussed that an A-frame sign is not reasonable at located at only 12 feet from the business entrance, it should not block the sidewalk and should allow name and logo. Commission took a break at 7:32, they returned at 7:41 The Commission agreed that they would like to amend the proposed amendment to the sign code. They agreed to discuss each subject and make a determination if they would like to change each issue or leave it as staff has proposed. • Wall signs for Multi-family complexes, leave as is, no change 11 • Free standing signs based on lot frontage, one per every 500 ft. of frontage and every fraction of, is the staff recommendation. — Commissioners agreed to modify it to one freestanding sign for every 300 feet of frontage and fraction thereof in a commercial and industrial zones per street frontage and one freestanding sign for each 500 feet and fraction thereof in Mixed Use and Office zones per arterial frontage. - • Monument signs on street frontages—this is agreed as presented. • Temporary signs, Can have one at any time wanted, as long as maintained. Mr Bates has an issue with temporary signs for extra events and then must be removed at the end of the sale, he feels this needs to go away. Commissioner Neill agreed, stating it is on a business owners property they should get to put up whatever they want to. Commissioner Neill handed out written proposed language for the temporary signs. There was discussion of the proposed language. Commissioner Higgins confirmed the sign regulations are only enforced by complaints. Discussion turned to changing the size of the square footage of the signs. At first commissioners wanted to increase the number of signs and increase the square footage. Talk about the change of the size of the signs to make them more viable, change requested is to 32 square feet. Commissioners talked about the need to eliminate the permit for temp signs, however they also felt the control and enforcement would be more difficult without it. Should a special permit be allowed more than two extra times a year, special events, holidays, but they worked out that this would be adequate when combined with the free sign they can have all the time. Commissioner Stoy made a motion to extend the meeting to 9:30. Motion is seconded and vote is seven in favor, zero against. Motion passes. • A-fame signs — Commissioner expressed a concern to not block a clearview triangle but it was already in the proposed language. Commissioners wanted to delete the first sentence. Remove the language that says signs may be located no further than 12 feet from the entrance to the business. • Real estate signs—fine to go as written • Electronic signs — dimming capability. Must have one- required. This is a smart requirement. • Newly proposed off-premise directional signage — After discussion Commissioners reviewed the language, Commissioners would like the language added to the current proposed amendment with the following changes add a provision that if the business is on more than one arterial could have more than one directional sign. Removed the requirement to have to prove the need to have to have the sign. Increase the square footage to 15 square feet. Commissioner Higgins made a motion to amendment the language of the motion to reflect the following changes; 12 1. Change the freestanding sign requirement to allow one freestanding sign for every 300 feet and one for every fraction thereof in commercial and industrial zones per- street frontage and one sign for each 500 feet and one for every fraction thereof in mixed use and office zones per arterial frontage. 2. Increase the temporary sign square footage to 32 sf, 3. Remove the requirement that A-fame signs be restricted it to within 12 feet of the business entrance. 4. Add the proposed language to allow off-premise signs as was presented by staff removing the need to prove the necessity for the sign and change the size to 15 sf. Vote on the amendment was 7-0. The Chairman Bates called for the vote on the amended motion. Vote was 7-0.

It was refreshing and felt like traveling back in time to"the good old days"when it was easier to make a living!!! It should also be noted that the Staff with which we have worked(primarily Lori Barlow)have been very receptive and helpful through this process. The primary purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention an addition that needs made to one of the items that I presented last night and the Council voted to approve. The item that needs addressed is Iocated at the bottom of my first page and reads as follows (highlighted). Suggested Additions to the Code l) No Electronic Message Centers are allowed in Office or non-commercial zones. This item should have read as follows. Suggested Additions to the Code I) No Electronic Message Centers are allowed in Office or non-commercial zones except on arterial streets. These 4 words were on our original hand written draft but were on a second page that"got lost in the shuffle". The purpose of this item (in the first place) was to address Planning Commission member and Staff concerns of bright, commercial type lighted signs on secondary streets and near residential areas. While the sign industry felt it was important to allow Freestanding Signs on these parcels (as discussed last night), we also do not want visual clutter which gives the sign industry and the business community a black eye in general. The importance of these displays being allowed on arterials can best be illustrated by drawing your attention to the businesses in these zones that presently have and use these Electronic Message Centers. These are businesses predominately located on the Argonne, Mullan, Pines and Evergreen corridors. Some of the businesses in these zones (and on these arterials)that currently use Electronic Message Centers are medical offices,banks, credit unions and real estate offices. To not allow businesses on arterials to utilize Electronic Message Centers would impose a serious disability on properties on arterials. Because of the serious nature of this item, I truly hope that this can be rectified by Staff for the next Council meeting. When giving my presentation, I felt something was not correct but while standing in front of the Council, I couldn't`put my finger"on what it was. If there are any questions,please don't hesitate to call me at 927-3925. Again,we in the sign industry greatly appreciate your efforts as well as the hard work by the Staff!

At the March 20, 2012 Council meeting: Council discussion and ideas included the desire to move as soon as possible; the idea is to attract visitors and have our economy grow; invite economic development partners as committee members or for the committee to have discussions with those partners; the idea of keeping it a small group; that there should be no political agenda but an informal meeting with key people from different sectors of the community; to include large multiple property owners, and that the committee members need not be residents of Spokane Valley. Community Development Director Hohman suggested that staff would have a Scope of Work for the committee; that they would meet a few times to sort through the ideas of how to reach out to those individuals, and determine what areas we are interested in expanding; and to focus on how to move forward and meet with industry drivers. There was also some discussion on advertising versus asking people to serve. Council concurred to have staff advertise for committee members. Council determined that the committee would include: 2 councilmembers 2 members representing a business (either a business owner or leader) 2 members representing tourism 1 citizen at large 1 youth member (age 16-19) As well as Mr. Hohman as staff liaison, with the goal of having the committee finalize their task within four months. At the April 17 council meeting, Council determined to change the makeup of the committee to 2 councilmembers, 3 members from a business, 3 from tourism, and 2 citizens at large. Councilmember Hafner will also talk with the various high school principals to see if there might be a student or a class or student club interested in participating. Depending on that outcome, the motion can be modified as needed. BACKGROUND: Ads were placed in the Valley News Herald and the Spokesman Review and notice was included on the City's website, soliciting members for this Ad Hoc Committee.

The Planning Commission considers applications received prior to November 1st in late spring of the following year, with a decision by City Council in late spring/early summer. All parts of the Comprehensive Plan can be amended during the annual cycle. The Community Development Department received seven requests for site-specific Comprehensive Plan amendments for 2012. Sites approved for a Comprehensive Plan amendment will automatically receive a zoning designation consistent with the new land use designation. The 2012 Comprehensive Plan text amendments include amendments to four Comprehensive Plan Elements: Chapter 2 -Land Use, Chapter 3 —Transportation, Chapter 4 — Capital Facilities and Public Services, and Chapter 7 — Economic Development. The amendments may also entail minor changes to other elements referencing the proposed amendments. Staff presented the proposed amendments to the Planning Commission at a study session on February 9, 2012. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the amendments on February 23, 2012. The Planning Commission continued the public hearing to March 8, 2012 for further deliberations. PUBLIC NOTICE: Notice for the proposed amendments was placed in the Spokane Valley News Herald on February 8, 2012 and each site was posted with a"Notice of Public Hearing" sign, with a description of the proposal. Individual notices of the proposals were mailed to all property owners within 400 feet of each amendment. SEPA REVIEW: Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA — RCW 43.21C), environmental checklists were required for each proposed comprehensive plan amendment. Under 1 of 2 SEPA, amendments to the comprehensive plan are considered "non-project actions" defined as actions involving decisions on policies, plans, or programs that contain standards controlling use or modification of the environment. Additional environmental review may be required for the physical development of the subject properties. Staff reviewed the environmental checklists and a threshold determination was made for each proposed comprehensive plan amendment. Determinations of Non-significance (DNS) were issued for the proposed amendments on February 8, 2012 consistent with the City of Spokane Valley Environmental Ordinance. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSALS: Comprehensive plan amendment proposals are organized into individual reports consisting of application materials, staff reports, maps, and comments submitted to date to assist the City Council in their review.

The calendar related to the second round was as follows: • 1/6/2012—Applications due in the Finance Department by 4pm. • 1/13/2012—Application packages mailed to LTAC members. • 2/2/2012—Applicant presentations were made to the LTAC. • 2/28/2012—Administrative report was presented at the City Council meeting. • 3/27/2012—City Council awarded funds totaling $308,720 to the following applicants: o Valleyfest $30,000 o Heritage Museum $1,100 o Visit Spokane (CVB) $251,720 o Fair& Expo Center$25,900 2011 Yearend Process The 2011 books were closed March 23, 2012. The general accounting work required to accomplish this included determining that revenue and expenditure activity was posted to the correct year and accounts, analyzing account balances and preparing closing entries. Yet to be completed is the preparation of the annual financial report (which is underway) and undergoing the annual audit which we anticipate will begin sometime in June 2012. 2013 Budget Development Process Preliminary work on the 2013 Budget including expenditure request worksheets is underway and a memorandum is being prepared to provide instruction to departments. This should be distributed to departments by mid-April. This will lead to the Council's first discussion on the 2012 Budget that will be one of the topics discussed at the June 12, 2012 retreat. \\SV-FS21UserslmcaihounlFinance Activity Reports1201212012 03.docx Page 1 Budget to Actual Comparison Report (pages 5 — 17) A report reflecting 2012 Budget to Actual Revenues and Expenditures for those funds for which a 2012 Budget was adopted and subsequently amended is located on pages xx through xx. Because we attempt to provide this information in a timely manner this report is prepared from records that are not formally closed by the Finance Department at month end or reconciled to bank records. Although it is realistic to expect the figures will change over subsequent weeks, I believe the report is materially accurate. You will note that the format of the report is identical to pages 20 through 32 of the 2012 Budget document. We've included the following information in the report: • Revenues by source for all funds, and expenditures by department in the General Fund and by type in all other funds. • A breakdown between recurring and nonrecurring revenues and expenditures in the General Fund, Street O&M Fund and Stormwater Fund. • The change in fund balance including beginning and ending figures. The beginning fund balance figures are those that will be reflected in our 2011 Annual Financial Report. • Columns of information include: o The 2012 Budget as adopted and subsequently amended. o March 2012 activity. o Cumulative 2012 activity through March 2012. o Budget remaining in terms of dollars. o The percent of budgeted revenue collected or budgeted expenditures disbursed, A few points related to the General Fund #001 (page 5): Recurring revenues collections are currently at 12.13% of the amount budgeted with 25% of the year elapsed. This is typical and reflective of the nature of the timing of when revenues are collected. • Property tax collections are currently just $296,557 or 2.74% of the amount budgeted. This is because property taxes are paid to Spokane County in two installments each year on April 30 and October 31. These monies are then remitted to the City in May and November. • Sales tax collections are currently just $2,599,276 or 18.29% of the amount budgeted. This is because taxes collected in March are not remitted to the City by the State until the latter part of April. • Gambling taxes are just $64 or less than 1% of the amount budgeted. This is because they are paid quarterly with first quarter payments due by April 30. • Franchise Fee and Business Registration revenues are currently $24,201 or 1.91% of the amount budgeted. This is because although franchise fees are paid quarterly they are paid in the month following the calendar quarter. First quarter 2012 fees should be received in April. • State shared revenues are composed of State of Washington distributions that include items such as liquor board profits, liquor excise tax, streamlined sales tax mitigation and criminal justice monies. Currently, revenues total $271,863 or 14,85% of the amount budgeted, A number of these revenues are paid in quarterly installments that won't be received until April. • Service revenues are largely composed of building permit and plan review fees as well as false alarm fees and right of way permits. Revenues are currently $281,317 or 21.64% of the amount budgeted. • Fines and forfeitures revenues are composed of monthly remittances from Spokane County with payments made in the month following the actual assessment of a fine. Through March 2012 we've received remittances for January and February with receipts of$228,277 or 12.01% of the amount budgeted. \\SV-FS21Userslmcalhoun\Finance Activity Reports1201212012 03.docx Page 2 • Recreation program fees are composed of revenues generated by the variety of parks and recreation programs including classes, swimming pools (in-season), and CenterPlace. Currently, revenues total $146,256 or 25.66% of the amount budgeted. Recurring expenditures are currently at 21.68% of the amount budgeted with 25% of the year elapsed. Departments experience seasonal fluctuations in activity so they don't necessarily expend their budget in twelve equal monthly installments. At this point the Council budget is 31.46% expended and this can be explained by the January 2012 payment of annual dues to AWC and the NLC for a total cost of$67,655. Investments (page 18) Investments at March 31 total $48,354,870 and are composed of$43,326,780 in the Washington State Local Government Investment Pool and $5,028,090 in bank CDs. Total Sales Tax Receipts (page 19) Total sales tax receipts are $2,937,832 including general, criminal justice and public safety taxes. This figure is $148,751 (5.33%) greater than for the same 2-month period in 2011. Including the latter half of 2011 sales taxes have shown an impressive increase but an increase of just 1.31% in the March 2012 State remittance is a reminder that the economic recovery is still tenuous. Economic Indicators (pages 20 -- 22) The following economic indicators provide information pertaining to three different sources of tax revenue that provide a good gauge of the health and direction of the overall economy. 1. Sales taxes (page 20) provide a sense of how much individuals and businesses are spending on the purchase of goods. 2. Hotel / Motel taxes (page 21) provide us with a sense of overnight stays and visits to our area by tourists or business travelers. 3. Real Estate Excise taxes (page 22) provide us with a sense of real estate sales. Page 20 provides a monthly history of general sales tax receipts (not including public safety or criminal justice) beginning with the first remittance received in May 2003. • Compared with calendar year 2011 collections, 2012 collections increased by $148,571 or 6.06%. • Tax receipts peaked in 2007 at $17.4 million and dropped off dramatically in the subsequent three years. • Receipts thus far in 2012 are similar to 2006 and 2009 collections, essentially straddling the peak years of 2007 and 2008. Page 21 provides a monthly history of hotel/motel tax receipts beginning with the first remittance in May 2003. • Compared with calendar year 2011 collections, 2012 collections have decreased by $2,013 or 4.47%. • Collections peaked in 2007 and 2008, dropped off in 2009 (although significantly less than the drop in sales taxes) and have shown a nice recovery beginning in 2010. Page 22 provides a monthly history of real estate excise tax receipts beginning with the first remittance in March 2003. • Compared with calendar year 2011 collections, 2012 collections have increased by $2,326 or 2.32%. • Tax receipts peaked in 2007 at nearly $2.6 million, decreased precipitously in 2008 and 2009, and appear to have leveled off in 2010 and 2011. \\SV-FS21Userslmcalhoun\Finance Activity Reports\201212012 03.docx Page 3 Debt Capacity and Bonds Outstanding (page 23) This page provides information on the City's debt capacity, or the dollar amount of General Obligation (G.O.) Bonds the City may issue, as well as an amortization schedule of the bonds the City currently has outstanding. • The maximum amount of G.O. bonds the City may issue is determined by the assessed value and the 2011 assessed value for 2012 property taxes is $7,087,523,395. Following the City's December 1, 2011 bond payment, the City currently has $7,930,000 of nonvoted G.O. bonds outstanding which represents 7.46% of our nonvoted bond capacity, and 1.49% of our total debt capacity for all types of bonds. • The $7,930,000 of bonds the City currently has outstanding is part of the 2003 nonvoted (LTGO) bond issue. Of this amount: o $6,260,000 remains on bonds issued for the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds are repaid with a portion of the 1/10 of 1% sales tax that is collected by the Spokane Public Facilities District. o $1,670,000 remains on bonds issued for road and street improvements around CenterPlace. The bonds are repaid with a portion of the real estate excise tax collected by the City. 11SV-FS21Users\mcalhoun\Finance Activity Reports1201 21201 2 03.docx Page 4 P;1FinancelFor City CouncillCouncil Monthly Reports120121201 2 03 31 report CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, WA Budget Year Budget to Actual Comparison of Revenues and Expenditures ,Elapsed= 25.0% For the Three-Month Period Ended March 31,2012 2012 Actual Actual thru Budget %of Budget March March 31 Remaining Budget #001 -GENERAL FUND RECURRING ACTIVITY Revenues Property Tax 10,608,900 267,761 296,557 (10,512,343) 2.74% Sales Tax 14,210,000 1,009,389 2,599,276 (11,610,724) 18.29% Criminal Justice Tax 1,200,000 87,122 215,122 (984,878) 17.93% Public safety Sales Tax 790,000 49,237 123,434 (666,566) 15.62% Gambling Tax and Leasehold Excise Tax 640,000 64 2,179 (637,821) 0.34% Franchise Fees/Business Registration 1,266,000 9,049 24,201 (1,241,799) 1.91% State Shared Revenues 1,834,300 267,026 271,863 (1,562,437) 14.82% Service Revenues 1,300,000 137,453 281,317 (1,018,683) 21.64% Fines and Forfeitures 1,900,000 134,448 228,277 (1,671,723) 12.01% Recreation Program Fees 570,000 46,545 146,256 (423,744) 25.66% Miscellaneous&Investment Interest 305,000 18,718 31,323 (273,677) 10.27% Transfer-in -#101 (street admin) 39,600 3,300 9,900 (29,700) 25.00% Transfer-in -#105(h/m tax-CP advertising) 30,000 35 80 (29,920) 0.27% Transfer-in -#402(storm admin) 15,000 1,250 3,750 (11,250) 25.00% Total Recurring Revenues 34,908,800 2,031,396 4,233,535 (30,675,265) 12,13% Expenditures City Council 386,249 22,796 121,510 264,739 31.46% City Manager 631,667 42,111 125,103 508,564 19.81% Legal 434,798 39,928 101,281 333,517 23.29% Public Safety 22,000,000 1,958,110 4,935,131 17,064,869 22.43% Deputy City Manager 558,884 38,079 122,044 536,840 18.52% Finance 1,047,107 78,138 231,831 815,276 22.14% Human Resources 230,231 18,261 50,885 179,346 22.10% Public Works 901,519 46,967 161,075 740,444 17.87% Community Development-Administration 323,743 27,120 75,965 247,778 23.46% Community Development-Engineering 680,796 55,712 161,672 519,124 23.75% Community Development-Planning 994,245 68,490 194,1187 800,058 19.53% Community Development-Building 1,260,454 133,135 345,082 915,372 27.38% Parks&Rec-Administration 263,128 19,312 65,137 197,991 24.75% Parks&Rec-Maintenance 803,700 64,984 121,672 682,028 15.14% Parks&Rec-Recreation 229,811 10,655 30,241 199,570 13.16% Parks&Rec-Aquatics 442,250 2,035 4,841 437,409 1.09% Parks&Rec-Senior Center 92,961 6,540 19,738 73,223 21.23% Parks&Rec-CenterPlace 1,119,357 93,164 249,716 869,641 22.31% General Government 1,841,000 147,426 318,264 1,522,736 17.29% Transfers out-#502(insurance premium) 319,000 26,583 79,750 239,250 25.00% Total Recurring Expenditures 34,660,900 2,899,546 7,515,125 27,145,775 21.68% Recurring Revenues Over(Under) Recurring Expenditures 247,900 (868,150) (3,281,590) (3,529,490) NONRECURRING ACTIVITY Revenues n/a 0 0 0 0 #DIV10!

The sales tax rate for retail sales transacted within the boundaries of the City of Spokane Valley is 8.7%. The tax that is paid by a purchaser at the point of sale is remitted by the vendor to the Washington State Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to the various agencies that have imposed the tax. The allocation of the total 8.7%tax rate to the agencies is as follows: - State of Washington 6,50% - City of Spokane Valley 0.85% - Spokane County 0.15% - Spokane Public Facilities District 0.10% * - Crminial Justice 0.10% - Public Safety 0.10% * 2.20% local tax - Juvenile Jail 0.10% * - Mental Health 0.10% * - Law Enforcement Communications 0.10% * - Spokane Transit Authority 0.60% * 8.70% Indicates voter approved sales taxes In addition to the.85% reported above that the City receives,we also receive a portion of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety sales taxes. The distribution of those taxes is computed as follows: Criminal Justice: The tax is assessed county-wide and of the total collected,the State distributes 10% of the receipts to Spokane County,with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the County and the cities within the County. Public Safety: The tax is assessed county-wide and of the total collected,the State distributes 60%of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the cities within the County.

At approximately 9:50 a.m., a fifth grade Opportunity Elementary student was approached by a man in a vehicle who asked her if she wanted a ride to school. The student walked to a different bus stop where there were other students waiting, and informed the bus driver of what happened. The suspect was described as a white male in his late 20's to early 30's, had brown hair and was wearing a black stocking cap with a white stripe on it. The suspect was driving an older red sedan that had tinted windows. The student told deputies the suspect asked her at least five times if he could give her a ride to school before she walked to the different bus stop. The suspect then drove past her a final time and did not stop. In mid-March, members of the Spokane Valley Police Department responded to a possible child abduction near the 18900 block of East Sprague in the City of the Spokane Valley. At 4:20 p.m., Deputy Dodge contacted the complainant who told him she had been in the back yard with her two children. The yard is completely enclosed with a cyclone fence and is well off Sprague Avenue. The complainant told Deputy Dodge she walked inside the house and saw her four-year-old son run towards the west side of the backyard fence. She did not have a view of this area and figured her son was talking to other children. She walked outside and saw a white male standing on the other side of the fence with both arms extended over the fence. She said her son was about two feet away when she picked him up and asked the suspect what he was doing. He replied he was picking her son up like he requested. As she walked inside to call police she heard the suspect mention he saw she had another child. The complainant described the suspect as a white male wearing a red fleece sweatshirt, 30 years old, clean cut with a bowl-style cut. The complainant said when she walked inside to call police, she saw the suspect run through her front yard and continue running eastbound on Sprague. Finally, at the end of March, members of the Spokane Valley Police Department responded to a possible luring call near the area of Sprague and Conklin Road. The 13-year-old Greenacres Middle School student said at about 3:00 p.m., she was walking home from school when a white male in his mid-20's stopped his vehicle and asked her if she wanted a ride home. The student told him "no" and the vehicle drove southbound on Conklin Road. The victim continued walking and saw the vehicle pass by her a second time on Sprague Avenue. The victim said the male had dark or brown hair and was skinny. She described the vehicle as an older, small light blue four-door"beater." Anyone with information on any of the above incidents is asked to call Crime Check at 456-2233. St. Patrick's Crackdown on Drunk Drivers—The message given to Spokane County residents before St. Patrick's Day by the Traffic Safety Commission: Don't count on the luck of the Irish to be with you- Stay Sober. Karen Wigen, the spokesperson for Operation Zero Tolerance, said law enforcement conducted extra DUI patrols in Spokane County from March 9th through March 18th and 26 individuals were arrested for driving under the influence, compared to 74 individuals last year and over 90 in 2010. St. Patrick's Day has become a popular night out to celebrate with friends and family and due to the large number of drunken drivers, the night out has also become very dangerous. For that reason, officers from Cheney, Airway Heights, Eastern Washington University, Liberty Lake, Spokane, Spokane Valley, and Washington State Patrol committed extra patrol hours to make the roadways safer. With the large drop in the number of arrests,this year's emphasis has been a very successful one! Traffic Stop Leads To Felony Drug Arrest — In early March, Spokane Sheriffs deputies were traveling westbound near the 9200 block of East I-90 in a two-man vehicle,when they observed a red Honda commit two traffic infractions in front of their patrol vehicle. The deputies stopped the vehicle and contacted the driver, who was excessively nervous and jittery. Deputies asked the 54-year-old female driver for her driver's license. As she pulled her license out from her purse, a clear plastic baggy containing a white crystal substance fell out of her purse onto the passenger seat. From the deputies' training and experience, they recognized the substance as methamphetamine. After advising the female suspect that she was under Page 4 arrest for possession of a controlled substance, she was transported to the Spokane County Jail. The female suspect waived her constitutional rights and told deputies she did not know what the baggie was and that she was taking it to her "friend" to find out what it was. The female suspect was booked into jail for possession of a controlled substance/methamphetamine,and a separate misdemeanor charge. Suspicious Customer Catches Department Store Employees Attention — In early March, employees at Spokane Valley's Kohl's Department Store recognized a female customer's suspicious behavior. Employees from Kohl's called 9-1-1 advising a female in the store was placing items by the entrance to the store. The employee also noticed a red Nissan Altima circling the parking lot, watched the female exit the store, and speak with the female driver. The employee provided the license plate to 9-1-1. As Deputy Kiehn of the Spokane Valley Police Department responded to the store, he passed a red Nissan near the store bearing the same license plate the employee provided. Deputy Kiehn stopped the vehicle and contacted the 26-year-old driver,who denied having been at Kohl's and allowed Deputy Kiehn to check her vehicle. Deputy Kiehn found a small metal container in the female suspect's purse that contained a plastic baggie. The plastic baggie contained a crystal substance Deputy Kiehn recognized from his training as methamphetamine, which tested positive and presumptive as methamphetamine. The female suspect was placed under arrest and booked into the Spokane County jail on the charges of possession of a controlled substance/methamphetamine, and 3rd degree driving while license suspended. A 22- year-old female passenger in the vehicle was booked into jail on an unrelated warrant. Sheriff's K9 Brax Locates Car Thief—In early March at 0300 hours, Deputy Rodriguez of the Spokane Valley Police Department attempted to stop a vehicle for an equipment violation near Broadway and Walnut Road in Spokane Valley. When Deputy Rodriguez turned his marked patrol vehicle around and activated his emergency lights, the vehicle turned south and crashed near the 600 block of North Walnut Road. Deputy Rodriguez saw the vehicle was not occupied after the collision and located a shaved General Motors key inside the ignition. Deputy Rodriguez requested the assistance of Sheriff's K9 Brax and his handler to the scene as other units set up a perimeter. In a combined effort with Spokane County's helicopter Air 1, Brax located the suspect hiding underneath a tree about two blocks from the collision. After speaking with the registered owner of the vehicle, it was determined the 32-year-old suspect did not have permission to have the vehicle nor did the registered owner know him. A search of the vehicle resulted in a backpack containing marijuana that the male suspect admitted belonged to him, as well as several items on his person commonly used in the commission of burglaries. The male suspect was booked into the Spokane County Jail on the charges of theft of a motor vehicle, making or having burglary tools, possession of marijuana and 2nd degree driving with license suspended. Spokane Valley Panhandler Threatens Harbor Freight Manager— Deputies from the Spokane Valley Police Department responded in early March to Harbor Freight located near the intersection of Sprague and Sullivan reference an aggressive panhandler. When Deputy Hilton arrived on scene, the manager told him he had been having problems with an adult female panhandler in his parking lot. The manager told Deputy Hilton at about 8:00 p.m., the female in question opened the door to a customer's vehicle in the parking lot and asked him for money. When the manager approached the female suspect and asked her to leave, the suspect brandished a knife and walked towards the manager. After making a statement the manager was not able to decipher, the suspect walked north through the parking lot, sat in the front passenger seat of a white Ford F-150 pickup and left northbound on Sullivan. The manager described the female as a white female, 5'5" tall with a thin build. Anyone with suspect information is asked to call Crime Check at(509) 456-2233 East Broadway Party Results In Nine Arrests — In the early morning hours in mid-March, members of the Spokane Valley Police Department were called to the 16100 block of East Broadway to a party/disturbance call. Air 1 was on patrol and was able to relay to units en route that there were several people in the roadway and several yards. When units arrived on scene, they quickly realized they were dealing with several intoxicated individuals who would not obey their commands and that they were outnumbered. Due to the dynamics of the situation,units on scene requested additional units to control the Page 5 large number of people failing to obey deputies and officers commands. Units from all local agencies responded until the scene was safe and under control. The majority of people who had come from the residence eventually went back into the house as requested by patrol units on scene. However, two intoxicated partygoers chose not to listen to the deputies' commands which landed them in jail. A 24-year- old male suspect was asked multiple times by Deputy Olson to not walk in the middle of Broadway Avenue, intentionally disrupting traffic. He was also asked multiple times not to yell at others around the house, encouraging them not to listen to the police. The male suspect's subsequent refusal to listen to Deputy Olson resulted in his arrest for rioting, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and possession of a controlled substance (marijuana). A 22-year-old male suspect also made the decision not to listen to the deputies' commands at the scene. While deputies were dealing with the first male suspect, the second suspect's actions basically mirrored those by the first suspect. Corporal Myhre told the second male suspect to go back inside the house multiple times before he was arrested. The male suspect chose not to listen to Corporal Myhre, which resulted in him being arrested and booked into jail on the charges of rioting, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. The 25-year-old homeowner was booked into jail for providing alcohol to minors. A minor female was cited and released for minor in possession of alcohol at the scene. This concluded the party with a total of nine arrests and three people booked into the Spokane County Jail. Spokane Valley Property Crimes Detective Finds a `Cue' — In early March, Spokane Valley Detective Mark Renz made a Spokane Valley resident very happy when he was able to return a custom pool cue that had been stolen during a vehicle prowling incident back in December 2011. The victim didn't report the theft when it originally happened, because she didn't think she would ever get her property back. As she listened to media reports about property crimes suspects being caught and unidentified properly being recovered, she decided to contact the Spokane County Sheriff's Office via email. She explained the incident and gave a very specific description about the custom pool cue,which was very sentimental to her. Detective Renz contacted her and asked her to report the incident to Crime Check as he checked his case files for the item. Detective Renz met with the victim at the Spokane Valley Precinct where he returned the stolen pool cue to her. The victim explained the pool cue was custom made for her several years ago and even though she could have replaced it, she could never have replaced the memories. The Spokane Valley Police Department and the Spokane County Sheriff's Office would like to remind everyone that they actively investigate property crimes and try to return stolen property to victims, but if the crimes are not reported, it's very difficult to do that. Criminals don't recognize jurisdictional lines and often strike numerous areas in multiple jurisdictions. Citizens are urged to report crimes to Crime Check(456-2233)as well as mark their property or document serial numbers of property so it can easily be identified if it is stolen and recovered. East Valley School Burglary - In late January, Spokane Valley Police responded to a burglary at East Valley School District's maintenance office. Sometime during the night,two individuals illegally entered a fenced area at the school district's maintenance yard and stole approximately $300.00 worth of tools. East Valley School District would like to thank local media and the public for their assistance with this case. Thanks to all the information called in to Crime Check, East Valley School Resource Deputy Streltzoff was able to focus his investigation on a 29-year-old suspect who he later arrested in mid-March for the burglary. Earlier in the month, Deputy Streltzoff spoke with a female associate of the suspect's inquiring where the tools from the maintenance facility were. Miraculously, later that same night, an individual, who was wearing a hooded sweatshirt to conceal his/her identity,returned the tools, laying them on the front porch at the maintenance building. The male suspect was booked into the Spokane County Jail on the charges of 2" degree burglary and 1st degree trafficking in stolen property. Help Us Identify This "Nook" Burglar - Spokane Valley Property Crimes Detectives need the public's help identifying another suspect who burglarized the Spokane Valley Barnes and Noble located at 15310 E. Indiana. Members of the Spokane Valley Police Department responded to the business in early March at 05:52am in response to a commercial alarm and found a tire iron on the ground next to the shattered front window. The "Nook" kiosk appeared to be the main target of the burglary, since the cash registers and Page 6 other merchandise appeared to be untouched.

Spokane Valley Sheriff's Deputies Save Man's Life - About 11:00 a.m. in mid-March, 9-1-1 receive a call from a Spokane Valley resident. The 54-year-old male told 9-1-1 he was going to hang himself,that he had no weapons, and that he wanted someone to find him.

Spokane Valley Standoff Lasts Over Nine Hours—Members of the Spokane Valley Police Department responded to a domestic violence call in mid-March at about 8:50 p.m. in the 3500 block of North Ely Rd. Deputies received information that an adult female was being held against her will in the basement of her house. Her father told 9-1-1 that he spoke with his daughter and she told him her 31-year-old husband would not let her leave the basement of their house and was waving a gun around. The victim also told her father that her husband had pushed all the furniture against the basement door, locked the door with a seatbelt and barricaded both of them in the basement. After negotiations with the male suspect for about 30 minutes, he allowed his wife to exit the residence. She was unharmed and told investigators her husband was prepared for a shootout with deputies and had loaded several guns. With this information, Sheriffs Office SWAT and Hostage Negotiators responded to the scene. For the next several hours, Sheriffs Office Hostage Negotiators attempted to establish communication with the male suspect. The Bomb Unit,utilized for the use of their robot, allowed negotiators to communicate with the male suspect via two-way radio. When the male suspect still refused to come out of his residence, the decision was made to deploy CS gas into the residence in an attempt to get him safely out of the house. After deployment, the male suspect exited the residence, but once outside, he refused to obey commands by deputies. Concerned for their safety from the threats the husband had made, a 40mm bean-bag round was deployed to incapacitate him. This tactic was successful and the male suspect was taken into custody. He was booked into the Spokane County Jail on felony charges of 2nd degree assault and unlawful imprisonment.

Later that night, detectives served the warrant at an apartment located near the 10100 block of East Main in the City of Spokane Valley. Spokane County Sheriffs Office SWAT was utilized as there was information that there were weapons inside the residence.

Staff proceeded with and submitted applications for two projects — the Sprague, Park to 1-90 swale project and for a Regional Decant Facility. Draft offer list was posted January 27, 2012. The City's proposed projects ranked 28th and 35th and would be funded under DOE's proposed $30M level. We are waiting for a finalized State budget to know if the City's grant applications will be funded or not. • 2012 TIGER Discretionary Grant Program USDOT announced the TIGER IV program, a nationally competitive grant program for transportation projects. $500 million is available for this program nationwide. CH2M HILL prepared and staff submitted a TIGER IV grant application by the March 19, 2012 deadline. "Information in bold indicates updates 3 • 2012 WSDOT Bridge Call for Projects The WSDOT is anticipating the availability of approximately $40 to $70 million of Federal Highway Bridge Program funds for local agency bridge projects. The purpose of the Federal Highway Bridge Program is to improve the condition of bridges through replacement, rehabilitation, and preventative maintenance. Preventative maintenance is defined as steel bridge painting, scour mitigation, seismic retrofit, and deck/joint repair. Staff is evaluating the possibility of submitting an application for the resurfacing of the concrete deck on the Sullivan Rd Bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad (which is part of our Sullivan Road Corridor Project). This would be a preventative maintenance and preventative maintenance projects are funded at 100%. Applications are due May 4, 2012. Our Sullivan Road W Bridge Replacement Project is not eligible for this call for projects since we have already received federal funding through this program. • Ecology 2012 Municipal Stormwater Grants of Regional or Statewide Significance (NON-CONSTRUCTION) The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) is soliciting grant proposals for projects of regional or statewide significance to support implementation of the Municipal Stormwater General Permits issued in January 2007 and reissued for draft review in October 2011. The $2.2 million dollars available for this purpose is carry-forward funding provided by the Washington State Legislature to local governments to support stormwater permit implementation. For more information see: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/biblio/1110088.html Staff coordinated with personnel from the City of Spokane, Spokane County, and other Eastern Washington communities on two proposals. A grant to create a Low Impact Development manual for Eastern Washington ranked #1, Spokane County will be the lead agency for administration of the grant and City staff will be involved in reviewing and commenting on the draft manual. A second proposal to create a Regional Multimedia campaign came in 16th, and will not receive an award due to funding limits (cut off the 12th place proposal).

[3] CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: April 24, 2012 Department Director Approval: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing ® information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Parking Regulations for Trucks in Residential Areas GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 9.05.010; WAC 308-330-462; RCW 46.61.570 PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None. BACKGROUND: The City's parking regulations are set forth in the Washington Model Traffic Ordinance (WMTO), which the City adopted in SVMC 9.05.010. The WMTO parking restrictions do not prevent persons from parking semitrucks and/or semitrailers on residential streets. Likewise, there are no State laws preventing the parking of such vehicles in residential areas. The City does have authority to adopt such parking regulations by ordinance. RCW 46.61.570(2); WC 308-330-462; and SVMC 9.05.010. While there is no specific prohibition against parking semitrucks on residential streets inside the City, there are two limited circumstances in which law enforcement may be able to impound or take custody of an unattended vehicle parked in a vehicular public right of way. The first is RCW 46.55.113(a)(i) and RCW 46.55.010(14). These statutes allow law enforcement to take immediate custody of a vehicle that is an accident or traffic hazard. RCW 46.55.113 provides a list of such instances. The instances most likely applicable to parking on residential streets are when an unattended vehicle constitutes an obstruction to traffic or jeopardizes public safety. The second mechanism that might permit law enforcement to take custody of any vehicle parked along a public street 24 hours after it is tagged in accordance with the tagging procedures of RCW 46.55.085. Under RCW 46.55.085, law enforcement may "tag" an "unauthorized vehicle" parked along a public street if it is within the right-of-way. Once 24 hours have passed, law enforcement may then impound the tagged vehicle. RCW 46.55.113(a)(ii). However, the City's ability to enforce this regulation is uncertain. The legislature defined an "unauthorized vehicle" as any vehicle left on a public street which has been tagged by law enforcement. RCW 46.55.010(14)(a)(ii). Therefore, the definition of "unauthorized vehicle" is circular (i.e. a vehicle can be tagged if it is unauthorized, and is unauthorized if it is tagged). The mere fact that a vehicle is unattended along the vehicular public right-of-way could be interpreted to allow law enforcement to tag and impound the vehicle. RCW 46.55.010(14). Courts often render regulations void when they are set up in such a circular fashion. This is especially true where, as here, literal enforcement could lead to unusual results (for example, a person's car could be impounded for being parked along the curb outside of their home for more than 24 hours). Legal staff recommend not using this method to remove vehicles parked alongside the public streets. These remedies only provide law enforcement with the ability to physically remove vehicles, and only in limited circumstances which, depending on the individual circumstances, may or may not apply to any particular situation in which a semitruck is parked in a residential area. To more effectively regulate the parking in these situations, multiple jurisdictions have adopted ordinances preventing the parking of semitrucks and other large vehicles in residential areas. Examples of these ordinances are summarized below: Spokane Prohibits the "habitual parking of any auto stage, farm vehicle, for-hire vehicle, limousine, motor home, motor truck, private carrier bus, road tractor, semitrailer, trailer, park trailer, travel trailer, tractor, truck, truck tractor, boat, or any other commercial vehicle" on any street in or bordering a residential zone. Spokane Municipal Code 16A.61.562. Bellevue Permits parking or storage of RVs, watercraft, and utility trailers in residential zones so long as they are under 40 feet long and satisfy one of the following: 1) in a vented garage; 2) in a carport sight-screened from abutting properties; 3) in a side or rear yard if sight-screened from abutting properties and in compliance with setback requirements for accessory structures. The ordinance provides an exception to the rule for a qualified disabled person with an RV and for loading and unloading activities that are completed within three days. Defines RV as "[a]ny wheeled, motorized vehicle manufactured, converted or altered to provide self-contained temporary living quarters for recreational, camping or travel uses, and which does not exceed 40 feet in length. Any vehicle manufactured, converted, or altered which has integral wheels for towing or can be mounted on a motorized vehicle to provide self-contained, temporary living quarters for recreational, camping or travel uses." Burlington Prohibits recreational or commercial vehicles on the city streets or sidewalks in residential zones, but allows them to be parked in a garage or private driveway. Permits two consecutive days or two days in a seven-day period to load and unload (loading and unloading must be 15 minutes or under) on the street abutting the owner's property if it is done so in preparation for or ending a departure. Defines RVs as "all travel trailers, tent trailers, boats, boat trailers, utility trailers, snowmobile trailers or any similar vehicle. The term shall also include any "motor home" or "camper" as such terms are defined in RCW 82.50.010." Defines commercial vehicles as either: 1) vehicle or trailer over 20 feet long; or 2) vehicle over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight and that are used commercially.
