City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
CHAPTER 2 - LAND USE
2.0 Introduction
The Land Use chapter serves as the foundation of the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
(SVCP) by providing a framework for Spokane Valley's future physical development and by setting
forth policy direction for Spokane Valley's current and future land uses.
Development of land, according to adopted policies and land use designations discussed in this
chapter, should result in an appropriate balance of services, employment, and housing. The land
use policies are supplemented by a Comprehensive Plan Map (Map 2.1) that provides a visual
illustration of the proposed physical distribution and location of various land uses. This map
allocates a supply of land for such uses as retail, office, manufacturing, public facilities, services,
parks, open space, and housing to meet future demand.
2.1 Planning Context
State and county land use policies provide a statutory framework for the development of City land
use policies. ft is important to briefly review state and county level policies to better understand
historical conditions that have shaped the goals and policies in this chapter.
2.1.1 Growth Management Act
The Growth Management Act (GMA) acknowledges that, "...a lack of common goals expressing the
public's interest in conservation and the wise use of our lands pose a threat to the environment,
sustainable economic development, and the health, safety and high quality of life enjoyed by
residents of this state'." The GMA provides a framework for content and adoption of local
comprehensive plans. The GMA provides 14 goals to be, "...used exclusively for the purpose of
guiding development of comprehensive plans and development regulations." GMA goals pertaining
to land use include:
a Urban Growth — Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities
and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner.
• Reduce Sprawl— Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling,
low density development.
• Housing— Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of the
population of the state, promote a variety of residential densities and housing types, and
encourage preservation of existing housing stock.
• Open Space and Recreation-- Encourage the retention of open space and development of
recreational opportunities, conserve fish and wildlife habitat, increase access to natural
resource lands and water, and develop parks.
• Environment — Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality of life,
including air and water quality and the availability of water.
a Public Facilities and Services— Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to
support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the
development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels
below locally established minimum standards.
• Historic Preservation — Identify and encourage the preservation of lands, sites, and
structures that have historical or archaeological significance.
RCW 36.70A,010
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2-- Land Use
Page 1 of 36
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
• Property Rights -- Private property shall not be taken for public use without just
compensation having been made. The property rights of landowners shall be protected
from arbitrary and discriminatory actions pursuant to state and federal law.
The GMA requires that Comprehensive Plan land use elements include the following:
• Designate the proposed general distribution, location and extent of the uses of land for
housing, commerce, industry, recreation, open spaces, public utilities, public facilities,
and other appropriate land uses;
• Population densities, building intensities, and estimates of future population growth;
• Provide for protection of the quality and quantity of ground water use for public water
supplies;
• Review drainage, flooding, and stormwater runoff in the area and nearby jurisdictions
and provide guidance for corrective actions to mitigate or cleanse those discharges that
pollute water of the state.
2.1.2 County Wide Planning Policies
The County Wide Planning Policies (CWPPs) required by GMA2 provide a regional framework to
achieve the goals of the GMA. The CWPPs are a refinement of policy direction contained in the
GMA and are a result of a collaborative process between Spokane County and the cities and towns
within the County.
The CWPPs provide a policy framework for both the county and its respective cities. Adherence to
these policies ensures that plans within the county are consistent with one another. These policies
address such issues as the designation of urban growth areas, land use, affordable housing,
provision of urban services for future development, transportation, and contiguous and orderly
development. The following are specific CWPPs that relate to the Land Use Element3:
Policy Topic 1 - Urban Growth Areas
Policies
1. Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) are areas within which urban growth shall be encouraged and
outside of which growth can occur only If it is not urban in nature. Urban Growth Areas
(UGAs) shall include areas and densities sufficient to permit the urban growth that is
projected to occur in the county for the succeeding 20-year period4.
"Urban growth" refers to growth that makes intensive use of land for the location of
buildings, structures and impermeable surfaces to such a degree as to be incompatible with
the primary use of such land for the production of food, other agricultural products or fiber,
or the extraction of mineral resources5.
Urban growth should be located first in areas already characterized by urban growth that
have existing public facility and service capacities to serve such development, and second
in areas already characterized by urban growth that will be served by a combination of both
existing public facilities and services, and any additional needed public facilities and
services that are provided by either public or private sources. Further, it is appropriate that
urban government services be provided by cities, and urban government services should
not be provided in rural areas6. Rural government services may be provided in rural areas.
However, Urban Growth Areas may be established independent of incorporated areas.
Within these independent Urban Growth Areas (UGAs), urban governmental services may

be provided by other than cities. Some cities may rely on contracts from Spokane County
for provision of urban services.
Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) include all lands within existing cities, including cities in rural
areas.
9. Within Urban Growth Areas (UGAs), lands that fall within planned high-capacity
transportation corridors should be designated for sufficient intensity of land use to support
the economic provision of multimodal transportation.
11. Where applicable, comprehensive plans should contain land use policies which provide
protection for the continued viability of Fairchild Air Force Base, Spokane International
Airport, Felts Field, Deer Park Airport and other publicly owned airports within Spokane
County.
12. Jurisdictions should work together to protect critical areas and open space within Urban
Growth Areas (UGAs).
Policy Topic 2-Joint Planning within UGAs
Policies
1. The Joint planning process should:
a. Include all jurisdictions adjacent to the Urban Growth Area and Special Purpose
Districts that will be affected by the eventual transference of governmental services;
b. Recognize that Urban Growth Areas are potential annexation areas for cities;
c. Ensure a smooth transition of services amongst existing municipalities and emerging
communities;
d. Ensure the ability to expand urban governmental services and avoid land use barriers
to expansion; and
e. Resolve issues regarding how zoning, subdivision and other land use approvals in
designated joint planning areas will be coordinated.
2, Joint planning may be accomplished pursuant to an interlocal agreement entered into
between and/or among jurisdictions and/or special purpose districts.
Policy Topic 3 -- Promotion of Contiguous and Orderly Development and Provision of Urban
Services
Policies
5. All jurisdictions shall coordinate plans that classify, designate and protect natural resource
lands and critical areas.
7. Each jurisdiction's comprehensive plan shall include, at a minimum, the following policies to
address adequate fire protection:
a. Limit growth to areas served by a fire protection district or within the corporate limits of
a city providing its own fire department.
b. Commercial and residential subdivisions and developments and residential planned
unit developments shall include the provision for road access adequate for residents,
fire department or district ingress/egress, and water supply for fire protection.
c. Development in forested areas must provide defensible space between structure and
adjacent fuels and require that fire-rated roofing materials be used.
10. Each jurisdiction shall include provisions in its comprehensive plan for equitable distribution
of essential public facilities.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2 -- Land Use
Page 3 of 36
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
13. Each jurisdiction shall plan for growth within UGAs which uses land efficiently, adds
certainty to capital facilities planning and allows timely and coordinated extension of urban
governmental services, public facilities and utilities for new development. Each jurisdiction
shall identify intermediate growth areas (six to ten year increments) within its UGA or
establish policies which direct growth consistent with land use and capital facility plans.
Policy Topic 4—Parks and Open Space
Policies
2. All jurisdictions should cooperate to identify and protect regional open space lands, natural
areas and corridors of environmental, recreational and aesthetic significance to form a
functionally and physically connected system which balances passive and active
recreational uses. Each jurisdiction shall identify open space corridors within and between
urban growth areas.
All jurisdictions shall identify implementation, management, preservation and conservation
strategies through both regulatory and non-regulatory techniques, to protect identified lands
and corridors to sustain their open space benefits and functions. Implementation and
management strategies should include collaboration and coordination with land trusts and
other land preservation organizations.
3. Each jurisdiction shall require the development of parks and open space as a means to
balance the impacts associated with higher-density development.
5. Each jurisdiction shall make appropriate provisions for parks and recreation areas.
Policy Topic 5 -Transportation
Policies
5. Local jurisdictions shall develop and adopt land use plans that have been coordinated
through the Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) to ensure that they preserve
and enhance the regional transportation system. These plans may include high-capacity
transportation corridors and shall fulfill air quality conformity and financial requirements of
Federal Transportation Laws and Regulations, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, and
the GMA.
6. Local jurisdictions shall designate within land use plans areas that can support public
transportation services. These areas shall include existing as well as new development.
Each jurisdiction's land use plan, the regional transportation plan and the Spokane Transit
Authority's (STA) Long Range Transit Plan shall support, complement and be consistent
with each other.
11. Each jurisdiction shall address land use designations and site design requirements that are
supportive of and compatible with public transportation, for example:
a. pedestrian-scale neighborhoods and activity centers;
b. mixed-use development; and
c. pedestrian friendly and non-motorized design.
Policy Topic 7—Affordable Housing
Policies
2. Each jurisdiction's development policies, regulations and standards should provide for the
opportunity to create affordable housing in its community. Such policies may include
regulatory tools, such as inclusionary zoning, performance/impact zoning, mixed-use
development and incentives for increasing density to promote greater choice and affordable
housing in its community.

City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
2.2.1 City Center Plan
This scenario presents concepts and strategies for creating a definable and vibrant"City Center" for
the City of Spokane Valley. The purposes of creating a Spokane Valley City Center are:
1. Create an identifiable city center that is a social and economic focus of the City;
2. Strengthen the City overall by providing for long-term growth in employment and housing;
3. Promote housing opportunities close to employment and services;
4. Develop land use patterns that support the development of a more extensive regional
transportation system, whatever the ultimate configuration may be;
5. Reduce dependency on automobiles;
6. Consume less land with urban development;
7. Maximize the public investment in infrastructure and services;
8. Provide a central gathering place for the community; and
9. Improve the quality of design for development throughout the City.
There are several reasons why a definable, vital City Center is important to Spokane Valley's
future. These include:
1. The development of a more intensive, multi-use city center is a natural step in Spokane
Valley's evolution. Most new urban areas start out as bedroom communities. Retail and
commercial uses then develop to serve the new residential population. Office and
industrial activities next begin to locate at key transportation crossroads, adding jobs and
strengthening the employment base. Spokane Valley has experienced these evolutionary
phases and is now ready for a defined City Center.
2. Economic Development — Spokane Valley has an opportunity to transform itself from an
essentially residential community with retail and service based economy to a sub-regional
economic center with an expanded, more diverse employment base.
3. Community Support — A survey of Spokane Valley area citizens prior to incorporation
overwhelmingly indicated that the lack of identifiable "downtown" and a community
gathering place was of concern to a majority of respondents. Community support was
tested again when the city conducted a statistically valid survey in the spring of 2004. The
support to create a City Center was reiterated throughout the community meetings held
during the development of the comprehensive plan and the city's informal community
survey. A discussion of the results of the city's survey is included in Section 2.10.
The following could be components of the City Center:
1. Location: Generally located along the Sprague/Appleway corridor.
2. Size: Between 300 and 400 acres in size.
3. Streets: New streets could be added at every 200 to 400 feet to create an internal grid
street system to provide an urban atmosphere.
4. On-street parking would be provided on internal grid streets.
5. Ground floor retail on both sides of streets.
6. Building out to the edge of the right-of-way and include wide sidewalks to encourage a
lively street scene.
7. Office/Employment uses provided in high visibility locations with adequate parking and
adjacent to pleasant surroundings such as open space, retail shops and services.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2 —Land Use
Page 6 of 36
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
8. tw���c;: fte is--yhtlri itrrrl, housing that is safe, secure, and located so that it is buffered from
traffic noise and provides a pedestrian friendly streetscape with connections to parks,
schools, shopping, services and transit.
9. Civic/public uses such as city hall, community library, performing arts center, city center,
park, green space or other public uses that would attract people to downtown over an
extended portion of the day.
Other characteristics of this land use scenario include the following:
1. Neighborhood/community retail centers - current land use patterns dictate that residents
travel to the Sprague Avenue corridor to access some of the most basic goods and
services. This scenario would provide for smaller scale, less intensive retaillcommercial
centers in the south end and northeast portions of the city. Potential locations for these
centers would be focused at intersections of arterials at the periphery of the city, such as
Highway 27/32n1 Avenue, Dishman Mica Road/Bowdish Road and Barker Road/Boone
Avenue.
2. Office zoning districts —currently, there is no specific zoning district or comprehensive plan
designation for professional office uses. The county has used the UR-22, Multi-family
zoning district as its office district, which has resulted in a number of issues related to
rezones and appropriate development standards. Areas that are currently developed in
predominantly office uses would be re-designated to an "Office" comprehensive plan
designation and zoning districts developed to implement this plan designation would
include development standards to implement the policies of the comprehensive plan.
Specific areas in the city include the Evergreen corridor north of Sprague Avenue; Mission
east of Pines Road in the Valley Hospital/medical office area; near the intersection of Pines
Road and Broadway; and other areas identified through the land use inventory process.
3. "Auto-Row" Overlay — The city has several new auto dealerships located along Sprague
Avenue. The majority of these dealerships are located between Argonne Road and
Thierman Road. Two dealerships are located just west of Dartmouth Road, near the U-City
Mall. New car dealerships provide the city with substantial sales tax revenue on one hand,
on the other hand auto dealerships can have a significant visual impact on a community
and have somewhat unique needs related to development standards, such as signage and
street frontage landscaping. This scenario recognizes these circumstances and designates
the areas identified above appropriately, and provides policy direction for the implementing
development regulations.
4. Mixed-use — this scenario suggests reducing the strip commercial on Sprague Avenue by
maintaining Community Commercial zoning only at major intersections such as Pines,
Evergreen and Sullivan Roads. Areas in between these commercial "nodes" would be
designated as Corridor Mixed-use or some other appropriate designation, which would
encourage conversion of these vacant and/or dilapidated commercial areas into areas of
office/employment, residential and specialty retail.
5. Industrial areas would not be significantly changed or altered under this or any other
scenario. Permitted uses and development standards would be reviewed for
appropriateness and changes proposed based on policy direction of the comprehensive
plan.
6. The majority of land in the City of Spokane Valley is dedicated to single family residential
zoning and land use. The majority of the single family residential areas are designated Low
Density Residential under the interim comprehensive plan. This plan designation allows for
residential densities from one to six dwelling units per acre. Under this scenario, the
existing single family residential zoning districts would be evaluated, and a series of single
family districts with minimum lot sizes ranging from 7,000 to 10,000 square feet would be
considered. Reducing overall lot sizes would enable the city to maintain Its existing single
family character, and minimize land needed for multi-family zoning to accommodate the
city's 20 year population growth projection.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2 — Land Use
Page 7 of 36
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
7. Areas previously platted in 1+1- acre lots —There are areas in the City that were platted as
approximately one acre lots. These areas would be rezoned to an R-1 zoning designation
with the intent to preserve the original intent of the zoning for these areas. Moreover, these
areas would be allowed to maintain a small number of livestock such as horses, cows, or
llamas in keeping with the rural character of these neighborhoods.
2.3 Relationship to Other Comprehensive Plan Chapters
The land use concept set forth in this chapter is consistent with all SVCP chapters. Internal
consistency among the chapters of the SVCP translates into coordinated growth and an efficient
use of limited resources. Below is a brief discussion of how the Land Use chapter relates to the
other chapters of the SVCP.
2.3.1 Economic Development
Spokane Valley's economy is disproportionately divided. Dr. Grant Forsyth, Assistant Professor of
Economics at Eastern Washington University prepared a report based on year 2000 Census
information for the Spokane Valley area. This report, "A Demographic and Economic Analysis for
the City of Spokane Valley" indicates that there were nearly 3,000 employer firms employing
approximately 43,305 people in the year 2000 with an average annual payroll per employee of
approximately$29,000 (in 2000 dollars).
Dependence on retail trade and service occupations stems primarily from the City's evolution into a
regional shopping destination for eastern and southern Spokane County and counties in northern
Idaho. Increased regional competition from other retail areas, such as Post Falls and Coeur
d'Alene and the City of Spokane, may impact the City's ability to capture future retail dollars. To
improve Spokane Valley's economic outlook, the economic development strategy is to promote a
more diverse economy. A diversified economy would achieve a better balance between jobs and
housing and support the City's desired quality of life.
In conjunction with the Economic Development chapter, this Land Use chapter promotes the
following:
1. A City Center composed of mid-rise office buildings, mixed-use retail, and housing.
2. Redevelopment and development of the Sprague Avenue/Appleway Boulevard corridor into
an area of quality commercial and Mixed-use development.
3. Establishment of design standards.
4. Preservation of existing single family neighborhoods.
The land use map designations support development necessary to achieve the above (see the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map 2.1). A complete discussion of economic development is set
forth in the Economic Development chapter.
2.3.2 Capital Facilities
Capital facilities provided by the City include: transportation and streets, parks and open space, and
surface water management. The amount and availability of urban services and infrastructure
influences the location and pace of future growth. The City is responsible for the construction and
maintenance of parks and recreation facilities, streets and transportation improvements, and
surface water facilities. Providing for future growth while maintaining existing improvements
depends upon the community's willingness to pay for the construction and financing of new facilities
and the maintenance of existing facilities.
As outlined in the Capital Facilities Plan, new infrastructure and services may be financed by impact
fees, grants, designated capital taxes (real estate excise tax, fuel tax, utility tax), money from the
City's general fund or voter approved bonds.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2— Land Use
Page 8 of 36
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
To capitalize on the City's available resources for urban services and infrastructure, this Land Use
chapter recognizes that concentrating growth is far more cost effective than allowing continued
urban sprawl. Concentrating growth also supports the enhancement of future transit improvements.
Annexation of Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) to the City of Spokane Valley may be a logical
progression to ensure centralized planning and prevention of urban sprawl. A major goal of the
GMA is to reduce urban sprawl by encouraging development in urban areas where adequate public
facilities exist. GMA further states that cities are the logical provider of urban government services.
Prior to annexation, the City of Spokane Valley will consider the economic impacts of providing
municipal services at a level consistent with other areas within the City. The City will not provide a
lower level of service in areas being considered for annexation that were in existence in the
proposed areas at the time immediately preceding the annexation process. The City will consider
PAAs'topography, land utilization, and population density when determining service levels.
Water Availability— Potable water is provided to residents of Spokane Valley by thirteen water and
irrigation districts. All drinking water used by residents in Spokane Valley is drawn from the
Spokane Valley/Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.
Water Quality - Maintaining a clean source of water is vital to the health and livability of the City.
Preserving water quality ensures a clean source of drinking water and continued health of the City's
streams and lakes. Maintaining water quality is also important for maintaining the health of the
aquifer that relies on surface water for recharge.
Contamination of an aquifer by contaminated surface water can lead to serious health concerns
and/or expensive treatment requirements. To address this concern and impacts of new
development, the City has adopted a Stormwater Management Plan. The plan specifies actions to
ensure water, quality including the development of detention/retention facilities to control rate and
quality of water runoff. Furthermore, development of a wellhead protection program with the
various water providers should provide guidelines to avoid possible contamination.
Policies contained in the Natural Environment chapter provide direction for development near
wellheads and in aquifer recharge areas. For a complete discussion of water resources and water
purveyors in the City of Spokane Valley, refer to the Capital Facilities chapter.
2.3.3 Parks and Open Space
One of the most important and valued elements of a high quality living and working environment is
a parks and open space system. Providing parks and open spaces contributes to a reduction in
environmental impacts such as noise and air pollution; increases the value of adjacent properties;
provides areas for passive and active recreation; and helps preserve the natural beauty of the City.
2.3.4 Natural Environment
Spokane Valley's natural beauty is apparent. Streams, wetlands, surrounding mountains and the
Spokane River provide a scenic backdrop as well as a source for active and passive recreation for
the citizens of Spokane Valley. The Land Use chapter seeks to protect Spokane Valley's unique
natural resources through policies that support the preservation of these areas for future
generations. The Natural Environment chapter also includes a discussion of critical areas as
defined by GMA. For a complete discussion, please refer to the Natural Environment chapter.
2.3.5 Housing
Housing is a basic human need and a major factor in the quality of life for individuals and families.
An adequate supply of affordable, attractive, and functional housing is fundamental to achieving a
sense of community. The central issue related to land use is supplying enough land to
accommodate projected growth for a range of incomes and households. Presently, housing is
provided primarily in single-family subdivisions.
This plan sets forth strategies to increase housing options and choices. The Land Use chapter
advocates changes to current development codes to increase flexibility in platting land and
encourage housing as part of mixed-use developments in commercial areas. The latter provides an
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2—Land Use

opportunity to locate housing closer to employment and shopping, and to create affordable housing.
A complete discussion of housing can be found in the Housing chapter.

gwawtThe GMA : lf;o requires a Land Capacity Analysis, or the theoretical holding capacity of the
designated Urban Growth Areas, which by definition includes cities. By assigning the expected
population growth to the results of the Land Capacity Analysis, the area required to accommodate
the population growth is shaped.
Countywide population forecasts are identified by the CWPPs, as one criterion for consideration in
developing a regional methodology or countywide population allocation, The countywide growth
target is based on the OFM growth management population forecast for Spokane County.
The Land Quantity Analysis Methodology for Spokane County was developed through the efforts of
the Land Quantity Technical Committee between March 1995 and October 1995. The Growth
Management Steering Committee of Elected Officials adopted that methodology on November 3,
1995.
The adopted methodology is patterned after the Washington State Department of Community,
Trade and Economic Development's (CTED) land quantity inventory guidebook entitled Issues in
Designating Urban Growth Areas Part I- Providing Adequate Urban Area Land Supply. Use of that
document was specified by the adopted Countywide Planning Policies (Policy Topic 1 (Urban
Growth Areas Policy#3). However, the step-by-step CTED process was modified somewhat by the
Land Quantity Technical Committee to reflect unique circumstances in Spokane County. The
following steps of the regional methodology were followed by Spokane Valley in conducting the
land capacity analysis:
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2 -Land Use
Page 10 of 36
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
1. Identify lands that are potential candidates to accommodate future growth - vacant,
partially-used and under-utilized land (in other words, subtract all parcels committed to
other uses).
2. Subtract all parcels that the community defines as not developable because of physical
limitation.
3. Subtract lands that will be needed for other public purposes.
4. Subtract all parcels that the community determines are not suitable for development for
social and economic reasons.
5. Subtract that percentage of land that the community assumes will not be available for
development within the community plan's 20-year time frame.
6. Build in a safety factor.
7. Determine total capacity.
Spokane Valley prepared a land capacity analysis of the city te=roan brag UGAt,based on the
above regional methodology. The results of the land capacity analysis are contained in the table

2.4.4 Development of Goals, Policies, and Actions for Annexation
The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires counties to designate Urban Growth Area (UGAs)
within which urban growth shall be encouraged RCW 36.70A.110 (1). UGAs are to include
sufficient land to accommodate the twenty-year population growth projected for the county. The
GMA imposes planning requirements to
influence the ability of a city to annex
UGAs. A city is required by GMA to
adopt policies for land use, housing,
capital facilities, utilities, and
transportation within the city's UGA. In
order to meet this requirement the City •
of Spokane Valley has developed -', ...-
policies and goals to provide policy
guidance for annexation of territory . '
k
within UGAs. Annexation will have ern.
financial impacts on the city; it may be -
positive or negative. The City may need
•
to develop an annexation study to
assess the financial impacts especially
for larger annexations. The Capital �'' "`' r,. '
Facilities chapter identifies current
service providers within the Potential Annexation Areas (PAAs) as a starting point for the detailed
analysis that may be needed prior to annexation.
2.5 Land Use Designations
The land use designations in the SVCP recognize the relationships between broad patterns of land
uses. The designations set forth locational criteria for each specific class of uses consistent with
the long-term objectives of the SVCP. These designations provide the purpose and intent for
specific zoning districts. The location of the comprehensive plan land use designations are shown
on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (Map 2.1).
2.5.1 Residential
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2-- Land Use
Page 12 of 36
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
The demand for and development of single-family housing is expected to continue for the
foreseeable future. Single-family development will occur as in-fill development of vacant or under
developed lots scattered throughout existing neighborhoods, and as subdivisions on vacant tracts
of land. To address future housing needs, the Land Use chapter encourages new techniques for
developing single-family housing. Such techniques include clustering, planned unit developments,
lot size averaging, zero lot line development, accessory dwelling units and special needs housing.
Low Density Residential
The Low Density Residential (LDR) Comprehensive Plan designation addresses a range of single
family residential densities from one dwelling unit per acre up to and including six dwelling units per
acre. This designation would be implemented through a series of zoning designations as described
below.
Implementing zoning for the LDR
designation will include a series of zones
allowing a range of minimum lot sizes.
Existing lot sizes and community character a h ly
will be strongly considered when . ;• r
developing the City's zoning map. For - `"
example, areas such as Rotchford Acres t , 4 I
and Ponderosa will likely require minimum �t ,�. `i•; e` , :'�•lot sizes close to an acre in size. These P• r,
large lot developments currently allow for
horses and other large animals and have a •
distinct character that should be preserved
to the greatest extent possible. The _
majority of the LDR designation will
provide for densities ranging from four to , i •
six dwelling units per acre. Typical lot
sizes will range from 7,000 to 10,000 square feet. Some areas designated as LDR still lack
necessary urban services and infrastructure, mainly sanitary sewer facilities. Upon provision of
urban services, such as water and sewer, and transit services, an increase in density in some areas
may be warranted. However, the City will adopt strict criteria to evaluate zone changes to ensure
that future development is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
Medium Density Residential
The Medium Density Residential designation represents an opportunity to provide a range of
housing types to accommodate anticipated residential growth. The increase in population, decline
in average family size, and increased cost of single-family homes have created increased demand
for new housing types. The Land Use chapter encourages the development of housing types, such
as duplexes, townhouses, and condominiums in existing multi-family areas and within mixed-use
development in commercial areas.
Multi-family uses, in large part, are in areas currently zoned for multiple-family development.
Zoning will allow densities up to 12 dwelling units per acre in the Medium Density Residential
designation. Opportunities for new development will occur through redevelopment and build-out of
remaining parcels.
Multi-family residential zones should be used as transitional zoning between higher intensity land
uses such as commercial and office, to lower density single family neighborhoods. Additionally,
Medium Density Residential areas should be located near services and high capacity transit
facilities or transit routes.
Residential design guidelines that address design and appearance of multiple-family developments
should be considered. The primary goal of residential design guidelines is to develop multiple-family
housing that is reflective of the community's character and appearance.
High Density Residential
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2 —Land Use
Page 13 of 36
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
This designation provides for existing multi-family residential development developed at a density in
excess of 12 units per acre. Additionally, High Density Residential (HDR) designated areas are
also located in areas near higher intensity development, such as a City Center. HDR provides
housing opportunities for younger, lower income households in the City who may not yet be able to
afford a home of their own. Moreover, this designation provides housing options for people looking
to "downsize" from a single family dwelling on an individual lot, or for those known as 'empty-
nesters' whose children have moved out of the household and a large single family home is no
longer needed. Generally, this designation is appropriate for land which is located adjacent to the
arterial street system served by public transit, and is in close proximity to business and commercial
centers.
2.5.2 Commercial Designations
Existing commercial areas are auto-oriented and characterized by one-story low intensity
development. In the future, these areas will become more intensively developed and pedestrian
oriented, and in some designations, accommodate housing. Transforming existing areas into
places where people want to live, shop, and work requires changes. Commercial areas should
contain street furniture, trees, pedestrian shelters, well marked crosswalks, and buildings oriented
to and along the street to provide interest and allow easy pedestrian access.
Regional Commercial i
/ °k
The Regional Commercial ' 1 1/4
designation encompasses two major -' ',' .,
retail areas of the City. It covers the �+a
"strip" retail areas along Sprague
Avenue which includes the k
ir - -4,17
automobile dealerships located along ' -1 -
the western end of the Sprague - '
Avenue corridor and the "big box" .� '+m, w _y . -4
retail area found in the Sullivan Road ,A i'� >a:.
area from Sprague Avenue north fo -- `.j
the Interstate 90 interchange, and _ = ,t
includes the Valley Mall and Wal- -- i
Mart. Regional Commercial allows a .
large range of uses. A wide range of y - -
development types, appearance,
ages, function, and scale can be found along Sprague Avenue. Older, single-story developments
provide excellent opportunities for redevelopment.
To create retail areas that are aesthetically and
functionally attractive, revised development
standards should be applied through Regional
Commercial zoning, along with the adoption of
Community Design Guidelines which address ,,,
design quality, mixed-use, and the integration of :‘A _�! 1 j. I i__
auto, pedestrian, and transit circulation. Site . ,NA ." _ ,.pr- ,,j•L,� . m
design, modulation, and setback requirements ;: 7�`"�_' " °,' r-a '
are also addressed. i "'
Community Commercial
The community commercial classification
designates areas for retail, service and office
establishments intended to serve several
neighborhoods. Community Commercial areas
should not be larger than 15-17 acres in size and should be located as business clusters rather
than arterial strip commercial development. Community Commercial centers may be designated
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2—Land Use
Page 14 of 36
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
through the adoption of the comprehensive plan, comprehensive plan amendments or through sub-
area planning. Residences in conjunction with business and/or multifamily developments may be
allowed with performance standards that ensure compatibility. In addition, light assembly or other
unobtrusive uses not traditionally located in commercial zones may be allowed with appropriate
performance standards to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses or zoning districts.
Neighborhood Commercial
The neighborhood commercial classification designates areas for small-scale neighborhoods
serving retail and office uses. Neighborhood business areas should not be larger than two acres in
size, and should be located as business clusters rather than arterial strip commercial
developments. Neighborhood business centers may be designated through the adoption of the
comprehensive plan, comprehensive plan amendments or through neighborhood plans.
Auto-Row Overlay
The City of Spokane Valley is home to several major new automobile dealerships. While these
land uses provide a positive economic impact on the community, they can also have less positive
impacts on the aesthetics of the
community. Auto dealerships typically ! I
have vast areas of pavement to store new
and used vehicles for sale. These land F
uses also have unique requirements for , t,
landscaping and signage. Unlike many - ��
commercial uses whose stock in trade is
contained within a building, it is necessary
for auto dealerships to have their vehicles ,
clearly visible from the street. This makes ' �--�
traditional street side landscaping
(consisting of low growing shrubs and .
bushes, and trees) not viable for these
uses.
An overlay designation is being suggested — ` #sY �.-
rather than a zoning district because the _
negative affects on the non-auto dealer
uses In the area will be minimized or eliminated.
2.5.3 City Center The intent of establishing a City Center in Spokane Valley is to create a
higher density, mixed-use designation where office, retail, government uses, and residential uses
are concentrated. The City Center will also
be located at one of the major hubs of the
region's high capacity transit (HCT) system. __
The City Center encourages higher intensity , " Li
land uses. Traditional city centers are places ;; ^ °`
where diverse office, retail, and government " ;r ra
uses are concentrated, as well as cultural • ` ;. 4l: `nr "1-1 { n
and civic facilities, community services and ,
housing. Nationally, many cities are rOri, J1!i + 1.1

City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
• Providing retail and service needs in close proximity to residential and employment centers:
• Improving feasibility of a development project. The proximity of urban services makes
housing projects more desirable and a nearby source of consumers help make a
commercial project more viable.
Residents choose to live in higher density housing for a variety of reasons. First, higher density
housing is more affordable than traditional single family housing. Second, the convenience and
proximity to work, needed services and cultural activities is very desirable for many people. Finally,
many people find that they do not need a large, single family detached house. Given their lifestyle,
they appreciate the low maintenance and security of higher density living. There is a mutually
supportive relationship between higher density residential uses and commercial and retail activities.
The presence of housing the core area also activates the streets in the city center, day and night.
Concentrating growth in a specific area also supports investment in public infrastructure including
the regional HCT system. Existing low density development does not generate sufficient levels of
demand to optimize the return on investment in transit. Promoting higher density uses within
walking dce of transit facilities will improve the viability of this significant infrastructure
investmetoreover, concentrating the highest density of development in the City Center, where
a significnmber of jobs and residences will be within walking distance of a transit station, helps
reduce the dependency on the automobile and improves
r:+rs _ . pedestrian mobility. The City Center emphasizes
�u��,. pedestrian, bicycle, and transit mobility but will not be
y . F� unfriendly to the use of automobiles.•bi rik,,,,.,
t.;�.ra+ .Li The City Center area will also be the central gathering
'r i place for the community — a place where the whole
't= , vr,:i., community can congregate and celebrate. Accordingly,
' ,+,. = the City Center should include an outdoor square, park,
t�,, =- .r ..-1 ' ,., ' or commons with amenities such as fountains,
�. :-uaTi ,L. ---` sculptures, and unique landscaping. Other civic
�,,_T_ G 7'r g /� % � amenities or buildings including city hall or a performing
�J,.. �iw•-t� ���;� (,.h< _ arts center could be grouped around the core area
-�r '`j�-r_ t t4'� ' ,.5 .. , • f . - square or park. The City currently holds an annual
' f
a V+' Pl# .fET.` Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in the area
' ; ,� . :;r f--; designated as the City Center. Additional such events
i ',i ., TIP 'L' throughout the year will enhance the feeling of
community in Spokane Valley.
An appropriate street network is a critical component of the City Center. The current network of
collector streets and arterials, the disjointed grid, and large block sizes contribute to a lack of
identity in the City. The solution is not necessarily to construct wider streets. Streets become less
efficient as the number of lanes increases. Building new streets versus widening existing streets
can be more cost effective, yields greater capacity, and will have a more positive impact on the City
Center.
Automobiles are likely to continue as a dominant mode of transportation for the foreseeable future.
A comprehensive network of streets must be developed to distribute this traffic and create more
driving choices. To the extent possible, the City should connect streets and construct new streets
to form a tighter grid system within the City Center, especially in the core area, by negotiating new
public rights-of-way and building new streets. This °interconnectivity' serves to shorten and
disperse trips, and consequently reduce travel on existing congested arterials.
Pedestrian and bicycle mobility is a vital part of the future City Center transportation system.
Improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists should support increases in transit services and
promote the development of the City Center. As the street system is developed to better
accommodate the needs of pedestrians and bicyclists, a network of facilities for people on foot and
bikes should be established.

and additional amenities including

Transforming the existing commercial core area into the proposed City Center is an ambitious task.
It requires a significant transformation from a low-density, automobile oriented, largely retail area, to
a higher intensity, more pedestrian oriented Mixed-use area. The City Center section of the Plan
acknowledges that the City Center will take some time to develop. The City can facilitate these
changes through a series of small steps taken over time. This is especially true if the steps are
consistent with emerging economic,
social and demographic trends. As is
the intent of this Plan, the phasing
scenario presented here accounts for

'- -MilleMENtill s'F'�' proposed City Center area. It will
WIMMINIMIlla take some time for the development
community to redirect its energy and
investments to produce development
that responds to the direction of the
Plan. The demand for more intense development opportunities in the City Center is not forecasted
within the next few years. In the meantime, the City should discourage continued low-scale
investment in this area since new development will take several years to be amortized, and will
delay the accomplishment of preferred development. As regulations are applied to modest
renovations, it should be possible to gain some basic improvements. However, the City should not
expect full implementation of the vision for the City Center until major property owners in the area
are ready to install long-term, major development projects.
The figures (computer generated as part of the TOD Study) at the beginning of this section first
show the existing conditions of the City Center; the second figure illustrating potential
redevelopment of the area over time. The pictures are taken from approximately Farr Road looking
east toward the U-City Mall area. The photos do not necessarily indicate specific recommendations
for the area, but are merely an illustration of how a viable City Center could evolve through several
coordinated, incremental steps taken over time.

office development, Several
developments within the
Argonne/Mullan Couplet, Pines Road, rj"�
and Evergreen Road corridors l - f,
embody good design and are `t ti t --- __- 4 ._.c
representative of desired future office b t.. r
development. Office development r°- : 1 ' .�, F_ i

This comprehensive plan designation - —
is intended primarily for office
development with limited retail or
commercial uses. Retail and
commercial uses are limited to those
that are clearly subordinate to the _
primary office use, or the retail ii 3tsn
function primarily serves the office Tint
uses in close proximity to the retail or '- r .
commercial use. Primary uses which '''
are representative of this
comprehensive plan category, include { r
•
medical and dental facilities, =,� ' ., l,,
education i '��4 '� ��� � -
services, insurance, real estate, sue?.
financial institutions, design firms, and - =
legal services. -
Areas designated as Office can serve -
a variety of functions. They can stand
alone as major employment centers.
They can also act as buffers or -
transition areas between higher intensity land uses and lower intensity land uses. For example,
Office areas can provide a transition between industrial or commercial uses and residential areas.
Office uses work well for this because they tend to generate less traffic and noise, operate shorter
hours and are often smaller in scale then industrial or commercial areas.
The Office comprehensive plan designation will be implemented through a series of office zoning
districts.
2.5.5 Mixed-use
The concept of "Mixed-use" has been around for centuries. Prior to the advent of the automobile
and the proliferation of the road and highway system, Mixed-use was a predominant urban form.
The
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2 -- Land Use
Page 18 of 36
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
"rediscovery" of this development type may be due in part to the negative impacts of sprawl, which
have resulted in traffic congestion, decline in air quality, and inefficient use of resources and
infrastructure. Mixed-use development has several potential benefits:
• Land and infrastructure resources are used more efficiently;
• Pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods;
• Jobs are located near housing;
• Opportunities to revitalize commercial corridors;
• Opportunities for infill residential development (primarily in corridors);
• Encourage new housing and innovative retail that is less auto dependent; and
• Compatibility with existing transit access along local corridors.
Mixed-use may be either "horizontal Mixed-use" or "vertical Mixed-use." Horizontal Mixed-use
means that residential, commercial, office and other uses are adjacent to each other typically as
part of an overall master plan for a site. However, not all projects within a "Mixed-use" designated
area must be Mixed-use to achieve the goals of this plan. For example, a new residential-only
project that is appropriately designed and located adjacent to an older existing commercial building
may help stimulate renovation and reuse. This would be a more likely scenario in the Corridor
Mixed-use area rather than the Mixed-use area.
Vertical Mixed-use means that residential and nonresidential uses are stacked over each other.
Typically, residential uses are placed over ground level retail, offices and/or restaurant uses. This
development type would be more likely to occur in the City Center or in the areas designated as
Mixed-use.
Corridor Mixed-Use
Corridor Mixed-use is intended to enhance travel options, encourage development of locally serving
commercial uses, multi-family apartments, lodging and offices along major transportation corridors
identified on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (Map 2,1). Corridor Mixed-use recognizes the
historical low-intensity, auto-dependent development pattern, and focuses on a pedestrian
orientation with an emphasis on aesthetics and design. The Corridor Mixed-use designation is
primarily used along Sprague Avenue in order to space the areas designated commercial.
Mixed-Use Center
The Mixed-use Center designation would allow for two or more different land uses within
developments under this designation. As described above, Mixed-use developments can be either
vertical or horizontally mixed, and would Include employment uses such as office, retail and/or
lodging along with higher density residential uses, and in some cases community or cultural
facilities.
Mixed-use developments in this designation are characterized by differing land uses which are
developed pursuant to a coherent, approved plan of development. Compatibility between uses is
achieved through design which integrates certain physical and functional features such as
transportation systems, pedestrian ways, open areas or court yards, and common focal points or
amenities.

2.5.6 Industrial Designations
Providing for industrial land is important for the
economic health of Spokane Valley. Industrial •")) .
businesses help drive the local economy and
create an economic multiplier effect throughout the i
region. Providing an adequate supply of usable i ! •t
land with minimal environmental constraints and ±��G�{; . k,4'1 n
infrastructure in place helps ensure that Spokane M`� ':,
Valley will be an attractive place for industrial .
businesses to locate and prosper. (See Chapter 7,
Economic Development, for additional policies that
encourage recruitment and retention of industrial
business.).
Heavy Industry
Heavy Industry is characterized by intense industrial activities which include, but are not limited to,
manufacturing, processing, fabrication, assembly/disassembly, freight-handling and similar
operations. Heavy industry may have significant noise, odor or aesthetic impacts to surrounding
areas.
Commercial, residential and most recreational uses should not be allowed in areas designated for
heavy industry, except for small-scale ancillary uses serving the industrial area. The conversion of
designated industrial lands to other uses should be limited. Limiting incompatible uses ensures a
competitive advantage in business recruitment by providing adequate industrial land supply,
reducing land use conflicts and preventing inflation of land prices. Moreover, allowing a wide
variety of commercial, retail and other uses in the Industrial areas would be in conflict with other
portions of this Plan related to concentrating major commercial growth in nodes at the intersection
of major streets.
Light Industry
The Light Industry designation is a planned industrial area with special emphasis and attention
given to aesthetics, landscaping, and internal and community compatibility. Uses may include high
technology and other low-impact industries. Light A
Industry areas may incorporate office and 7
commercial uses as ancillary uses within an overall •
plan for the industrial area. Non-industrial uses
should be limited and in the majority of cases be '
associated with permitted industrial uses. :' •
•
• The Light Industry category may serve as a u I��;- ,� it ftA4 '2: •
transitional category between heavy industrial areas ,
and other less intensive land use categories. The '
category may also serve as a visual buffer for heavy . f L
industrial areas adjacent to aesthetic corridors.
•
2.5.7 Parks/Open Space
•
The Parks and Open Space designation is intended _ •
to protect parks, open space, and other natural • • . • •
physical assets of the community. •
2.6 Development Review Process
The Land Use chapter provides the policy foundation for implementing zoning and development
regulations. In developing policy concerning future land use regulations, or revisions to existing
regulations, every effort has been made to instill certainty and efficiency in the development
process. State legislation has focused on developing streamlined and timely permit processing.
Adopted April 25, 2006(Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2—Land Use
Page 20 of 36
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
Through the goals and policies of this Plan, the City will continue to strive to provide an efficient and
timely review system.
2.7 Urban Design and Form
In addition to guiding development, the Land Use chapter also guides the quality and character of
the City's future development pattern through goals and policies related to the form, function, and
appearance of the built environment. These priorities and implementation strategies, related to
quality development, serve and will continue to serve as a basis from which to develop appropriate
implementation measures.
The design of our urban environment has a significant effect on community identity. Well designed
communities contribute to a healthful, safe and sustainable environment that offers a variety of
opportunities for housing and employment. An attractive and well planned community is invaluable
when recruiting new business and industry to an area. Some of the concepts considered include:
Community appearance, including signs and placement of utilities;
• Neighborhood considerations in the review of development projects;
• Integration and linking of neighborhoods including bicycle and pedestrian facilities;
• The effect of traffic patterns and parking on neighborhood character;
• Encouragement of high quality development through the appropriate use of planned unit
developments; and
• Consideration for public art.
2,7.1 Aesthetic Corridors
Aesthetic corridors are intended to protect the visual appeal of Spokane Valley along major
transportation routes entering and exiting the city. Aesthetic corridors provide special design
standards for aesthetics along major transportation routes to help create a quality image of
Spokane Valley.
Another component of aesthetic corridors is the "gateways" into the city. There are several
entrances into the City of Spokane Valley along major transportation corridors, including Sprague
Avenue, Trent Avenue, State Route 27 and a number of interchanges on Interstate 90. Design
elements and landscaping treatments should denote a sense of arrival into the City, a
neighborhood or special area such as the city center.
2.7.2 Planned Unit Developments
Building flexibility into the subdivision process is important to allow for new concepts and creative
site design. Planned residential developments (PRDs) provide the city a tool for allowing flexibility,
while ensuring a design meets overall health and safety standards, and is consistent with
neighborhood character. PRDs allow for deviations from the typical zoning standards in exchange
for designs that protect the environment, provide usable open space, and exhibit exceptional quality
and design.
2.8 Historical and Cultural Resources
2.8.1 Background
In many ways, Spokane Valley's historic and cultural resources are similar to our rich natural
resources. Like wetlands, rivers, lakes, streams and other natural resources, historic properties are
a finite and endangered resource. Also like our natural resources, once an historic or
archaeological property is destroyed, it is lost forever. Cultural resources such as historic buildings,
monuments of historic events and archaeological sites are statements of Spokane Valley's identity.
People especially value our authentic, homegrown cultural resources that set us apart from other
areas of the state.

Spokane Valley is the location of several "Firsts" to occur in the Spokane Region. The first
permanent settler in the Spokane area was Antoine Plante, a retired French-Canadian trapper.
Plante built a cabin near the Spokane River in 1849, from which he operated a small Hudson's Bay
Company trading post. Plante also constructed and operated the first ferry on the Spokane River.
Other settlers began arriving in this area between 1865 and 1882. "Firsts" to occur in Spokane
Valley include the first settler in 1849, first business and ferry in 1850, the first store and bridge in
1862, the first house in 1866 and the first post office in 1867. All of these "firsts" occurred before
the arrival in 1873 of James Glover who was considered the"Father of Spokane."
A large part of Spokane Valley's identity is derived from its heritage. From the Native Americans
who first established trading centers to the continuing waves of newcomers from around the world,
all have left their mark. Cultural resources include historic structures and landscapes engineered
and built by man:
a. Historic buildings - houses, barns, commercial buildings, churches, schools.
b. Historic structures-bridges, dams, stone fences.
c. Historic districts- a grouping of buildings with related historic character.
d. Historic objects- statues, monuments, sculpture.
e. Landscapes—gardens, parks, urban and rural.
Cultural resources include properties that were held in spiritual or ceremonial honor or by a cultural
group or tribe. Cultural resources include properties which may no longer show evidence of man-
made structures, but retain an historical association with an event or period. Archaeology sites
include such areas as battlefields, campsites, cemeteries, burial sites, rock carvings, pictographs,
trails, village sites, fishing sites, trading sites, religious and ceremonial sites.
2.8.2 Cultural and Historical Resource Issues
Documenting Cultural Resources
Many historic homes, farms and sites exemplify the history and
culture of the Spokane Valley area, but proportionally few have
been written in historic register nominations. Designation
requires owner consent, does not pose undue restrictions to the 4 , •
property owner, and can be a planning tool for government by ,..
•
identifying significant properties. }
Archaeological Sites and Security
State laws require the protection of archaeological sites on both • '
public and private land by directing that the locations of sites be
kept confidential within the assigned office because Vii.
archaeological sites are highly susceptible to "treasure hunters
and grave robbers." Existing lists need to be checked to confirm =•;I
that evidence of the site/building remains, and a better means to •
identify and preserve evidence of significant archaeological sites
is needed.
Cultural resources are deemed important when they are over 50 years old, so identification and
evaluation of them is a constant, ongoing process. Moreover, cultural resources are perceived as
less important than other immediate, short-term City programs; therefore, funding and support for
the preservation program is provided on an annual rather than an ongoing basis.

2.8.3 Spokane Valley Historic and _
Cultural Resources
The Spokane Valley developed as
irrigated agricultural tracts in five and ten-
.\ e
acre lots. The apple orchards of Otis �� �,,,,,r�.e
Orchards were supported by warehouses, it
•packing plants, and box manufacturers. * 1'1: ` =°
The apple industry which thrived in the `
early century was destroyed by killing 'r N x I
frost of the 1950s. Newman • Lake - "
supplied the water that irrigated these y p;� � '
orchards via the Spokane Canal _ ,
Company. The flow control gate at ti•
Newman Lake (a great fishing spot) _ -
remains as a ruin with its story only in
fading memory.
Open canal ditches, concrete flues, cultivated fields and apple orchards were part of growing up In
the valley until the late 1950s. A canal ran behind Otis Orchards High School, neither of which now
exists. The picture on page 25 shows an Otis Orchards irrigation canal.
The Opportunity Township Hall was designed by Opportunity resident and noted Spokane architect
C. Harvey Smith and constructed in 1912 by Opportunity builder and businessman C.E. Johnson.
Built as Opportunity's government seat, the Opportunity Township Hall also served as the area's
community hall and a meeting place for various philanthropic and other organizations including the
Opportunity Moose Lodge, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, church groups, dance studios, and wedding
parties. The Opportunity Township Hall is significant as a rare local example of Spanish-
Mediterranean style architecture and for its association with the early settlement and development
of the Spokane Valley and the town of Opportunity.
2.9 The Land Use/Transportation Connection
2.9.1 Street Connectivity
Street design can have a significant impact on community development. It is important that
neighborhoods be connected is such a manner that cars, bicycles and pedestrians can pass with
ease from one neighborhood to an adjacent neighborhood via collectors and arterials. Such a
pattern promotes a sense of community.
All new developments should give special consideration to emergency access routes.
2.9.2 Traffic Calming
Traffic calming can be defined as measures that physically alter the operational characteristics of
the roadway in an attempt to slow down traffic and reduce the negative effects of the automobile.
The theory behind traffic calming is that roads should be multiuse spaces encouraging social links
within a community and the harmonious interaction of various modes of travel (i.e., walking, cycling,
auto, transit).
2.10 Citizen Participation
The City of Spokane Valley adopted a Public Participation Program for the preparation of the
comprehensive plan. This program identified actions the city would take to meet the GMA
requirements of "early and continuous" public participation in the development of the city's plan.
Two of the public participation techniques identified in the Public Participation Program is citizen
survey and a series of public meetings hosted by the city's planning commission.
In the spring of 2004, the City hired Clearwater Research to conduct a statistically valid survey of
Spokane Valley residents on a number of issues. Clearwater Research conducted a telephone
survey with a random sample of 400 Spokane Valley adults. Survey data was collected from March

headed in the right direction. However, respondents did identify a number of important issues
facing Spokane Valley. Concerns about the economy and planning related matters were among
the top issues respondents identified as
facing the City.

The typical pattern of development along the major streets of Spokane Valley did not appear to be
of great concern to respondents. Just 22% expressed dissatisfaction with the current type of
development along major streets. Further underscoring the general lack of concern about the
typical pattern of development along major streets, only 23% of respondents indicated adding street
trees and landscaping to major streets should be a high priority for City officials. Lower income
respondents were more apt than higher income respondents to report that making streets
pedestrian-friendly should be a high priority for City officials.

2.10.3 Results of"Unscientific" Survey
During the community meetings held on the comprehensive plan, city staff made available the
survey questions contained in the city's community survey. Meeting attendees were asked to
complete the survey and either return it before the end of the meeting, or to complete the survey at
home and mail it to the city. In many cases the responses to the questions were similar to the

of water, vistas, and similar features) using site planning techniques such as
clustering, planned unit developments, transfer of development rights and lot size
averaging.
LUP-1.7 Allow zone changes within the Low Density Residential category only when
specific criteria are met. Criteria may include:
• Substantial changes within zone change area.
• Clear mapping errors.
• Adequate facilities and services (e.g. sewer, water capacity).
• Consistency with densities in the vicinity of the zone change.
LUP-1.8 Development agreements in conjunction with comprehensive plan amendments
may be used where the project is larger in scope and has potentially larger
impacts than normal, or where the city council may desire to place certain
restrictions on proposal.

City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
CHAPTER 3 — TRANSPORTATION
3.0 Introduction
Transportation systems should provide for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods.
Modes of transportation which impact Spokane Valley include roadway, transit, air, rail, bicycle and
pedestrian. Each of these modes is addressed independently, although the development of an
efficient and truly multimodal transportation system requires an evaluation of the interaction and
interdependency of each mode in relationship to others
Airport, rail and arterial roadways have implications for regional freight mobility. Transit, pedestrian
and bicycle systems form part of larger systems with localized implications for the movement of
people.
Citizens should have a variety of viable transportation choices and the plan focuses on providing
citizens with transportation options and reducing dependency on driving because:
• The transportation preferences and needs of all people should be respected. All citizens,
including those who cannot or choose not to drive, should have viable transportation
options;
• In the future, increasing numbers of people may not physically or financially be able to
drive;
• All people are pedestrians at some point; and
• Continued dependency on driving may not be sustainable in the future, either economically
and/or environmentally.
Alternatives to driving must be truly viable. All transportation options must be safe, accessible,
convenient and attractive. For instance, people might be more likely to use public transportation if
service is frequent, routes to transit stops are pedestrian friendly and shops and services are
located near stops. Safety is a critical factor; people will not choose transportation options they
perceive to be unsafe.
Safety is similarly important in the efficient movement of goods since they share road and rail
transportation corridors. System design, direct routes and conflict reduction are key considerations
in establishing a multimodal transportation system which provides mobility choices, moves people
and goods effectively and safely, is coordinated with land use, maintains or improves air quality and
mitigates impacts to the environment.
3.1 Planning Context
The Transportation Element of the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan (SVCP) establishes the
framework for providing a transportation system (facilities and services), and focuses on actions
needed to create and manage the transportation infrastructure and services.
3.1.1 Growth Management Act
The Growth Management Act (GMA) (RCW 36.70A.020 [3]) "...encourages efficient multimodal
transportation systems that are based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city
comprehensive plans." In addition, the act outlines guidelines for the preparation of the
transportation plan, which is a mandatory element of the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, these
guidelines (RCW 36.70A,070 [6]) include:
• The land use assumptions used in the plan;
• Facility and service needs, including:
1. An inventory of existing facilities;
2. Level of service standards for all facilities and services;
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation
Page 1 of 30
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
3. An action plan for brining system deficits up to standard;
4. Forecasts of future traffic growth; and
5. Identification of system expansion and transportation system management needs.
• A financing plan which includes:
1. A comparison of funding needs versus available resources;
2. A six-year financing strategy; and
3. An assessment of how funding deficits will be managed.
• Intergovernmental coordination efforts;
• A demand management strategy; and
• A concurrency management strategy.
Moreover, the GMA requires that the Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) certify the
transportation elements of local comprehensive plans. Certification is based upon conformity with
state legislation related to transportation elements, and consistency of the City's element with the
Metropolitan Transportation Plan.
3.1.2 County Wide Planning Policies
Regional transportation planning services are provided by the SRTC, and coordinated by the
Spokane Transit Authority (STA) and local jurisdictions, in accordance with federal and state
planning requirements, and the Countywide Planning Policies for Spokane County (CWPPs). The
CWPPs provide a policy framework for the County and its respective cities. Adherence to these
policies ensures that plans within the County are consistent with one another. These policies
address such issues as the designation of urban growth areas, land use, affordable housing,
provision of urban services for future development, transportation, and contiguous and orderly
development. The following are specific CWPPs that relate to the Transportation Element:1
Policy Topic 3 — Promotion of Contiguous and Orderly Development and Provision of Urban
Services
Policies
a. Each jurisdiction shall include policies in its comprehensive plan to address how urban
development will be managed to promote efficiency in the use of land and the provision of
urban governmental services and public facilities. The [GMA] Steering Committee has
accepted a regional minimum level of service standards for urban governmental services
with the exception of police protection within Urban Growth Areas (UGAs). Local
jurisdictions may choose higher standards. In its comprehensive plan, each jurisdiction
shall include, but not be limited to, level of service standards for:
a. fire protection; b. police protection;
c. parks and recreation; d. libraries;
e. public sewer; f. public water;
g. solid waste disposal and recycling; h, transportation; and
i. schools2
Note to reader: The following policies are numbered according to the policy number in the CWPPs, resulting in non-
sequential numbering in this document.
2 (Spokane County has not proposed a level of service for school districts to be adopted as part of the comprehensive plan.
individual school districts determine their own level of service standards. However,if any jurisdiction within Spokane County
[itself]chooses to implement impact fees for schools at any future time,each schoo}district must develop a capital facilities
plan consistent with the GMA).
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation
Page 2 of 30
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
3. Each jurisdiction shall include policies in its comprehensive plan to ensure that obstructions
to regional transportation or utility corridors are not created. In addition, each jurisdiction
should include policies in its comprehensive plan to ensure sustainable growth beyond the
20-year planning horizon.
Policy Topic 5—Transportation
1. Regional transportation planning shall be conducted by the Spokane Regional
Transportation Council (SRTC). The SRTC shall coordinate with local jurisdictions and the
Spokane Transit Authority (STA) to ensure that the regional transportation plan and local
jurisdiction's land use plans are compatible and consistent with one another.
4. Comprehensive plans shall include, where applicable, the master plans of identified major
transportation facilities to ensure that they are reasonably accommodated and compatible
with surrounding land uses. Such facilities shall include, but not be limited to, airports,
state highways, railroads and major freight terminals.
5. Local jurisdictions shall develop and adopt land use plans that have been coordinated
through the Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) to ensure that they preserve
and enhance the regional transportation system. These plans may include high-capacity
transportation corridors, and shall fulfill air quality conformity and financial requirements of
the Federal Transportation Laws and Regulations, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990,
and the Growth Management Act(GMA).
7. In the long term, growth and change will necessitate the designation of specific
transportation corridors which can support high capacity transportation. These corridors
shall:
a. be identified for the specific purpose of preserving the right-of-way necessary to
implement a high-capacity transportation system and to provide a development
density that will support such a system;
b. be recognized in each jurisdiction's comprehensive plan and development
regulations. These plans and codes should provide the authority to establish high-
capacity transportation activity centers and urban villages having a land use pattern
of mixed use density and intensities;
c. be incorporated into capital facilities programs to provide a unified approach for
preserving the character and quality of neighborhoods;
d. be evaluated to identify both interim and ultimate transportation strategies for each
corridor;
e. encourage capital infrastructure investment to facilitate high-capacity transportation
and supporting land uses; and
f. be supported through a public education process.
8. The regional transportation plan and comprehensive plan of each jurisdiction shall include
roads, air and rail service that accommodates the need for freight and goods movement.
9. Recognizing the need to maintain existing rail lines for shipments of commodities, which
reduces the impacts of shipping commodities by roads, local jurisdictions should protect rail
facilities to the extent possible.
10. Each jurisdiction should coordinate its housing and transportation strategies to support
existing, or develop new, public multimodal transportation systems.
11. Each jurisdiction shall address land use designations and site design requirements that are
supportive of and compatible with public transportation, for example:
a. pedestrian scale neighborhoods and activity centers;
b. mixed use development; and
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3-- Transportation
Page 3 of 30
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
c. pedestrian friendly and non-motorized design.
13. Each jurisdiction's transportation facilities shall be planned within the context of countywide,
multi-county and bi-state air, land and water resources and shall not cause or contribute to
exceeding federal or state environmental quality standards.
14. Each jurisdiction shall strive, through transportation system strategies, to optimize the use
of and maintain existing roads to minimize the construction costs and impacts associated
with roadway facility expansion.
15. In accordance with regional minimum level of service standards specified by the Steering
Committee, each jurisdiction shall establish roadway standards, level of service standards
and methodologies and functional road classification schemes to ensure consistency
throughout the region and to support the use of alternative transportation modes.
16. Each jurisdiction shall address energy consumption/conservation by:
a. designing transportation improvements for alternatives to the single-occupant
vehicle;
b. locating and adopting design standards for new development to support pedestrian
or non-motorized travel;
c. providing regulatory and financial incentives to promote efforts of the public and
private sector to conserve energy; and
d. reducing the number of vehicle miles traveled and number of vehicle trips.
17. The transportation element of each jurisdiction's comprehensive plan, where transit service
exists, will include level of service standards for transit routes and services. Each
jurisdiction will coordinate the level of service standards with all adjacent jurisdictions and
appropriate agencies.
18. Each jurisdiction shall use its adopted level of service standards to evaluate concurrence
for long-range transportation planning, development review and programming of
transportation investments.
20. Transportation elements of comprehensive plans shall reflect the preservation and
maintenance of transportation facilities as a high priority to avoid costly replacement and to
meet public safety objectives in a cost-effective manner.
21. Each jurisdiction, Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) and other
transportation agencies shall identify significant regional and/or countywide land acquisition
needs for transportation and establish a process for prioritizing and siting the location of
transportation corridors and facilities.
3.1.3 Concurrency and Level of Service
Concurrency as defined in the GMA3 means:
"..'local jurisdiction must adopt and enforce ordinances which prohibit development
approval if the development causes the level of service on a locally owned transportation
facility to decline below the standards adopted in the transportation element of the
comprehensive plan, unless transportation improvements or strategies to accommodate the
impacts of development are made concurrent with development. These strategies may
include increased public transportation service, ride share programs, demand
management, and other transportation system management strategies. For purposes of
this subsection (6) "concurrent with development" shall mean that improvements or
strategies are in place at the time of development or that a financial commitment is in place
to complete the improvements or strategies within six years. (emphasis added)

Page 4 of 30
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
SRTC has been appointed by the Spokane County Growth Management Steering Committee to
coordinate the development of regional transportation Concurrency Management Systems (CMS).
Spokane County's CMS consists of regional and local concurrency reviews as described below,
Regional: SRTC is responsible for monitoring and evaluating the performance of regional
transportation facilities as affected by land use and transportation improvement decisions. SRTC
uses travel times to assess performance or regional transportation corridors. A review of regional
concurrency occurs on an annual basis.
Local: Local jurisdictions are responsible for reviewing land use proposals within their jurisdiction
and making determinations as to whether concurrency requirements are met as specified by their
ordinance. The state is responsible for establishing performance standards on all highways of
statewide significance,which are not subject to local concurrency requirements.
Additional discussion of roadway concurrency is included in Section 3.2 below and in Chapter 4
Capital Facilities.
3.2 Streets & Roadways
3.2.1 Highways of Statewide Significance& Connectivity
Spokane Valley is served by a network of publicly maintained streets and highways connecting
local communities and urban centers in the greater Spokane region. Interstate 90 runs east/west
through the city and provides direct linkages from the Spokane region west to the Seattle/Puget
Sound region and east across the country. Spokane Valley also has two (2) state highways, State
Route 27 (Pines Road) and State Route 290 (Trent Avenue).
SR-27 provides access from Spokane Valley south into southeastern Spokane County and
Whitman County. SR-290 provides Spokane Valley access to the east into areas around
Rathdrum, Idaho. Both of the roadways provide important regional access to Spokane Valley.
3.2.2 Roadway Inventory and Functional Classification
Functional classification is the grouping of highways, roads and streets by the character of service
they provide, and was developed for transportation planning purposes. Basic to this process is the
recognition that individual routes do not serve travel independently. Rather, most travel involves
movement through a network of roads. Comprehensive transportation planning, an integral part of
total economic and social development, uses functional classification to determine how travel can
be channelized within the network in a logical and efficient manner. The Washington Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) has the primary responsibility for developing and updating the statewide
highway functional classification in rural and urban areas to determine functional usage of the
existing roads and streets, and must cooperate with responsible local officials in developing and
updating the functional classification. The results of the functional classification are mapped and
submitted to FHWA for approval. Once approved, the map serves as the official record for Federal-
aid highways and is the basis for designation of the National Highway System.4
Interstate Freeway: The interstate is a controlled access, multi-lane, high speed, high-
capacity roadway intended exclusively for motorized traffic. All access is controlled by
interchanges and bridges separating local road crossings. Interstate 90 is the only freeway
within the Spokane Valley city limits.
Principal Arterials: Principal arterials serve the major centers of activity in urbanized areas
and include the highest traffic volume corridors, serve the longest trips and carry a high
proportion of the total urban travel, even though they constitute a relatively small percentage of
the total roadway network.

The principal arterial system carries most of the trips entering and leaving the urban area, as

TYPICAL SECTION - N.7.S
Minor Arterials: The minor arterial street system interconnects with and augments the
principal arterial system. It accommodates trips of moderate length at a lower level of travel
mobility than principal arterials. This system places more emphasis on land access than the
principal arterial system. Such a facility may carry local bus routes and provide intra-
community continuity, but ideally does not penetrate identifiable neighborhoods.
The spacing of minor arterials may vary from one tenth to one half mil (1/10 — 1/2) in central
business districts, and two (2) to three (3) miles in suburban fringes, but is normally not more than
one(1) mile in fully developed areas.
Collector Streets: The collector provides both land access and traffic circulation within
residential neighborhoods and commercial and industrial areas. It differs from the arterial
system in that facilities from the collector system may penetrate residential neighborhoods,
distributing trips from arterials through the area to their ultimate destinations, Conversely, the
collector system also collects traffic from the local streets in residential neighborhoods and
channels it into the arterial system. In a central business district or other area of similar
development and traffic density, the collector system may include the entire street grid. The
collector street system may also carry local bus routes. Collectors may be separated into
principal and minor designations, or into industrial or neighborhood classifications.
Local Access Streets: The local access street system includes all facilities not designated
as either an arterial or collector. It primarily permits direct access to abutting lands and
connections to higher order systems. It offers the lowest level of mobility and usually
contains no bus routes. Service to through-traffic movement is usually deliberately
discouraged.

The procedures for classifying all roads and streets into functional systems are based on the
most logical use of the existing facilities to serve present travel. A "future year" functional
classification plan is based on projected "future year" population, land use and travel and will
include, in addition to existing facilities, such new facilities as will be needed to serve"future year"
land use and travel. Some of this new mileage will consist of new streets in expanding urban
areas. Additional "new streets" may be identified in cases where adequate standards cannot be
provided on the original location, or where an existing routing is excessively circuitous.
In developing a "future year" classification, consideration has been given to the impact of
foreseeable developments in other modes of transportation including high-speed rail service and
improved air service. Population estimates for 2025 were made using the SRTC Visum model.
The base for the Spokane Valley"future year" population is the 2000 Decennial Census.
A basic assumption in assigning facilities to logical functional groupings is that higher order
systems should generally serve the longest trips. Only comparatively few miles or urban streets
and highways serve trips of any great length; a somewhat greater mileage serves trips of
moderate length; and a substantial mileage serves comparatively short trips. Facilities which
serve relatively long trips (including trips passing through urban area, trips between the suburbs
and central city, trips between outlying communities, and long trips occurring within the central
city) are likely to be functioning as arterials and should be considered for inclusion in the
preliminary arterial system. The mileage for the functional classification is summarized on
Table 3.4: The functional classification system is illustrated on Map 3.1.
3.2.3 Safety
Street design and construction standards should accommodate the characteristics of vehicles
utilizing the roadway, making adequate provision for weight, size and turning radius requirements.
The four (4) general classes of design vehicles include passenger cars and light trucks, buses,
large trucks and recreational vehicles. Bicycles are to be considered a design vehicle where
bicycle use is allowed on the roadway.
Traffic safety must consider roadway capacity, the type of traffic utilizing the roadway, terrain,
access management, traffic volumes and congestion. Access management requires the
management of access to land development while simultaneously preserving the flow of traffic on
surrounding road systems in terms of safety, capacity and speed. The capacity of an arterial is
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3— Transportation
Page 7 of 30
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
often dominated by the capacity of individual signalized intersections. Intersection design
improvements and signalization modifications should be considered as cost effective alternatives
to the addition of additional travel lanes.
Intersections must be designed to maintain visibility for the safety of motorists, bicyclists and
pedestrians. Particular care is exercised at school crossings and in areas frequented by the
elderly and disabled.
3.2.4 Transportation Systems Management (TSM)
Transportation Systems Management (TSM) focuses on maximizing use of the existing systems
travel capacity. The concept was first originated in the mid-1970s by the U.S. Department of
Transportation. Since that time, it has been applied in a host of different ways in cities and
metropolitan areas around the country. More recently, the 199 Intermodal Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act (iSTEA) expanded the vision of TSM, introducing the term Congestion
Management Systems (CMS).
TSM options can be grouped into the following categories:
• Geometric Improvements
• Signalization Improvements (including synchronization)
• Access Management
• Capacity Enhancements
• Circulation
3.2.4.1 Geometric Improvements
The term Geometric Improvements refers to projects intended to "re-shape" the physical layout of
roads. Through reported problems and periodic monitoring, isolated improvements can be
defined which will improve the operation of traffic and increase safety. Such improvements are
under the City's control. While there are national and state level guidelines, the City's adopted
design standards guide the design of these improvements. Sometimes called Spot
Improvements, their low cost and net increase in efficiency make them particularly popular.
3.2.4.2 Signalization Improvements
Signalization Improvements Include traffic signal installation or removal, and operational
strategies. To date, the City has relied on other agencies to service its traffic signals. Spokane
County has maintained all signals that were previously under County control, while the state has
operated those on certain state routes. This has produced a fragmented approach to traffic
control.
Traffic along Spokane Valley's major transportation corridors such as Sprague, Broadway,
Argonne/Mullan and Sullivan would benefit from synchronization and improvement to signal
timing and phasing. The cost of such improvements would likely be recovered by reduction in
delay to drivers. Air quality would also be enhanced due to fewer unnecessary stops. In addition,
transit reliability would increase as a result of these actions. Map 3.4-3 shows existing signalized
intersections.
3.2.4.3 Access Management
Access Management is another means to manage traffic flow efficiency, controlling intersection
and driveway spacing to improve the safety and preserve capacity of major streets. Traffic
conflicts are responsible for a high percentage of roadway crashes. By reducing the number of
driveways and turning movements through shared access to multiple parcels, and restricting
turning movements in congested areas, the safety and efficiency of the City's streets can be
maintained.
Access to adjacent property is one (1) of the major factors influencing functional classification.
The State of Washington requires that access onto state facilities be granted by permit, and that

City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
such access conform to an access management classification system.' Access management
may reduce the number of driveways, the allowable movements or modify existing access points
where recurrent problems have been observed, including those related to safety, traffic flow and
maintenance of roadway capacity.
3.2.4.4 Capacity Enhancements
Capacity Enhancements typically include road widening and/or redesign to assure an existing
road segment operates as efficiently as nearby segments. For example, where a section of
freeway carries more local, short tips than long distance through trips by adding a parallel
frontage road, the freeway might operate more efficiently. Another example might consist of two
(2) heavily-used streets being grade-separated at their Intersection point to accommodate flow.
Capacity enhancements typically are higher in cost than other TSM strategies. Funding from
outside sources is limited. Therefore, such projects must be carefully justified.
3.2.5 Transportation Demand Management(TOM)
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is an approach to solving transportation problems
that focuses on reducing the demand for automobile travel rather than increasing the system
capacity (supply) for automobile travel. TOM strategies should be particularly aimed at reducing
the volume of single-operator vehicles. TDM is a valuable tool with which to address
transportation problems because it generally avoids the high environmental, financial, and human
costs associated with capacity-oriented solutions, such as road construction. The Commute Trip
Reduction Program provides TDM techniques locally.
TDM involves two (2) types of strategies. One (1) strategy reduces the demand for single-
operator vehicles (SOVs). This is accomplished through programs such as:
• Employer-subsidized bus passes and other financial incentives For transit use;
• Infrastructure changes, such as providing safe and convenient bicycle parking and safe
and convenient bikeways from residential to work locations, or increasing the use of non-
motorized modes of transportation;
• Parking management that reduces the amount of easy and inexpensive parking for
employees, provided this does not lead to an unacceptable reduction in available parking
for residents in adjacent areas;
• Preferential parking for car pools and vanpools;
• Park and Ride facilities convenient to Interstate 90;
• Construction of shelters at transit stops;
• The building of lockers, change rooms, and shower facilities for bicyclists; and
• Ride match services.
The other TDM strategy reduces the overall need for travel by any means. This is accomplished
through programs, such as:
• Flexible work schedules, including four(4)-day work week; and
• Tele-working (using telecommunications and computer technology to work from home to
another location).
Several pieces of legislation have led the City into the realm of TDM. These include the State
GMA, Commute Trip Reduction Act (CTRA), and federal level requirements under both TEA-21
and Clean Air Act Amendments as reflected in the State Implementation Plan. The GMA cites
the need for a variety of "management actions" including the requirement that the transportation

chapter of each plan include an identification of system expansion needs and TSM needs to meet
current and future demands. The Act goes on to note:
"After adoption of the Comprehensive Plan...local jurisdictions must adopt and enforce
ordinances which prohibit development approval if the development causes the level of
service on transportation element of the comprehensive plan, unless transportation
improvements or strategies to accommodate the impacts of development are made
concurrent with the development. These strategies may include ...demand management
and other transportation systems management strategies(emphasis added)."
While TDM actions are aimed at reducing travel demand or, at least, shifting it to more opportune
travel times, several focus on consolidating person trips to fewer vehicles. The City views
transitlHCT use as key to reducing travel demand over the time horizon of this plan.
3.2.5.1 Commute Trip Reduction Act
The Commute Trip Reduction Act (CTR) was passed by the State Legislature in 1991, and revised
in 1997. It is also a part of the State Clean Air Act. The intention of the law is to improve air quality,
reduce traffic congestion, and decrease fuel consumption. It focuses attention on larger employers
with the intent or reaching concentrations of workers who might use shared-ride and non-motorized
modes to travel to and from work. Working from 1992, or employer's survey year data as the base
year, employers are encouraged to reduce SOV use and vehicle miles of travel (VMT) by 15
percent (15%) in the first two (2) years, 20 percent (20%) in four years, 25 percent (25%) in six (6)
years and 35 percent (35%) in twelve (12) years.
The City adopted Ordinance 03-087 in November of 2003, to address the requirements of CTR.
The ordinance establishes the requirements for employers with over 100 employees (affect
employers) under CTR.
3.2.6 Roadway Concurrency
Level of service (LOS) is a quantitative standard for the operating characteristics of the
transportation system. The definitions for each level of service and methodologies for calculating
LOS are contained in the Transportation Research Board Special Report 209, Highway Capacity
Manual (2000). The GMA requires LOS standards for all arterials and transit routes and also
requires that the standards be coordinated regionally. GMA does not define the procedure for
measuring LOS. Many communities rely upon Highway Capacity Manual procedures, measuring
LOS in terms of vehicle delay at intersections. This methodology does not account or the impact of
mid-block left-turn lanes, curbs and gutters, sidewalks and other facilities.
Levels of Service for Roadways are defined below:
Level of Service Flow Characteristics
A —; Free flow operations at average travel speeds, usually about 90% of the free-flow speed for
the arterial class. Vehicles are completely unimpeded In their ability to maneuver within the
traffic stream. Stopped delay at signalized Intersections Is minimal.
B *--6s4— Reasonably unimpeded operations at average travel speeds usually about 70% of the free-
flow speed for the arterial class. The ability to maneuver within the traffic stream Is only
slightly restricted and stopped delays are not bothersome. Drivers are not subjected to
appreciable tension.
C 4-,9. Stable operations. The ability to change lanes and maneuver in mid-block locations may be
more restricted than In LOS B, and longer queues and/or adverse signal coordination may
contribute to lower average travel speeds of about 50%of the average free-flow for the arterial
class. Motorists will experience appreciable tension while driving.
D Small Increases in flow may cause substantial increases in approach delay and decreases in
arterial speed. This may be due to adverse signal progression, Inappropriate signal timing,
high volumes, or some combination of theses. Average travel limes are about A0% of free-
flow speeds.
E aiRIESI Characterized by significant approach delays and average travel speeds of one-third (1/3)the
free-flow speed or lower, cause by adverse signal progression, high signal density,extensive
queuing at critical Intersections and inappropriate signal timing or some combination of these.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation
Page 10 of 30
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
Level of Service Flow Characteristics
F iMN; Arterial flow at extremely low speeds below one-third to one-quarter (113 – 114) of free-flow
speed. Intersection congestion is likely at critical signalized locations, with high approach
delays resulting. Adverse progression Is frequently a contributor to this condition.
Many of the roadways in Spokane Valley were built as rural facilities. Some have been improved
using rural road design standards to carry higher traffic volumes, but are not supporting of the
character and desires of an urban community.
Therefore, the City will pursue a two (2)-tiered LOS standard:
• Intersections. Intersection LOS is calculated using standard Highway Capacity Manual
(HCM) analysis procedures for the AM or PM peak hour, whichever is worse.
• Roadway Segments. Roadway segment LOS will be based on allowable average daily
traffic (ADT) on a roadway segment as a function of roadway characteristics. The
allowable volumes will be developed following completion of the Comprehensive Plan.
SRTC is tasked in the adopted countywide planning policies with establishing level of service
standards for the regional street network. SRTC establishes travel time standards in the principal
travel corridors. Table 3.2 indicates the corridors within the City of Spokane Valley for which travel
time LOS has been established.

3.2.7 Land Use& Local Circulation
3.2.7.1 Land Use
The transportation system should be adequate to serve existing land uses and planned to meet
future transportation demand. The adequacy of the system to meet local circulation needs, as well
as regional transportation objectives, will be determined by existing and future land uses.
The City of Spokane Valley street system is primarily a traditional grid with principal arterials laid
out at approximately one (1) mile intervals, and minor arterials located approximately midway
between principal arterials. Deviations from the grid result primarily from topographical limitations.
Except in these areas, the grid distributes local residential traffic relatively evenly to the arterial
network, although there is more direct access (properties fronting arterial roadways) than is
desirable for the functional classification. The roadway network in non-residential areas is well
developed, with little or no segregation of freight and passenger traffic. As the city grows, it should
be anticipated that conflicts between the two(2) will increase.
In commercial areas, the lack of access management on arterials has reduced roadway capacity
significantly. At intersections in particular, placement of driveways may limit the effectiveness of
design or signalization improvements. Local circulation and access along commercial corridors
such as Sprague Avenue will be improved substantially by requiring shared and cross access
between commercial properties as part of redevelopment.
Changes in residential densities will increase the demand for transportation services. Encouraging
higher densities along transit corridors will expand the mode choice, provided that pedestrian
connections are planned appropriately. Safety and accessibility are primary concerns in providing
access to schools and in providing for the elderly and the disabled.
Expediting the flow of freight traffic and improving intermodal connectivity are important in creating
attractive venues for business and industrial development. Land use plans should consider
strategies for segregating freight movement from passenger traffic where possible.
3.2.7.2 Neighborhood/Sub-area Circulation Plans:
Much of the future growth within Spokane Valley will occur as infill development or redevelopment.
As neighborhoods make a transition from large lots and a rural character to smaller lots and higher
density, it will be important to ensure connectivity of local roads and neighborhood collector streets.
The purpose of developing neighborhood circulation plans is to determine the location of future
local roads while the properties are undeveloped or underdeveloped.
3.2.7.3 City Center
Through the public participation process, a
"Preferred Land Use Alternative' was
developed that includes the development of
an identifiable city center in Spokane "`=- � �� •
Valley. A major component of the City
Center Alternative is the development of a ii L �,I: ti I
grid street pattern within the city center. As • r the illustration indicates, a possible grid ill' i rz7,,4 :Ewan
pattern of approximately 300-400 feet would I • '.
be ideal for the development of a city % n;
center. r�. , •
Pedestrian and bicycle mobility is a vital r�7rrr�
part of the future City Center transportation ~ arrrs
system, Improvements for pedestrians and '
bicyclists should support increases in transit
services and promote the development of the City Center. As the street system is developed to
better accommodate the needs of pedestrians and bicyclists, a network of facilities for people on
foot and bikes should be established.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3--Transportation
Page 13 of 30
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
Reducing the size of the street grid, improving auto circulation and creating pedestrian linkages
through larger parcels is critical to establish walking patterns that reduce dependency on the auto.
As individual sites are designed and developed to be more pedestrian-friendly and improved
pedestrian linkages are provided, the pedestrian system will handle an increasing share of the trips.

On-street parking and wide sidewalks, with street trees and other pedestrian amenities are
important assets in promoting a pleasant shopping experience.

•
movements. Block lengths within the City Center should be N<.; :
relatively short. Intersections should be landscaped with decorative F
pavement treatment to create a sense of place. ' } r '
Special street design standards should be developed for the City
Center. Special standards for extra-wide sidewalks (12 to 20 feet in ,/); ••• :•6
width), pedestrian-scale street lighting, and additional amenities
including benches, trash receptacles and landscaped corner Aid
treatment are typically included.
3.2.7.4 Freight& Goods
Roadways should be designed for the type of traffic they serve. Designation of truck routes will
expedite the flow of commercial traffic in other areas of the City and limit adverse impacts on
residential neighborhoods. In order to prolong pavement life, minimizing the number of stops and
starts along these routes and interconnecting signals for progressive movement should be
considered.
An important consideration in the establishment of truck routes is connectivity with sources of
supply and distribution located outside the City, as well as major freight terminals and intermodal
connections. Map 3. 2 identifies truck routes within the City of Spokane Valley.
The Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) classifies state highways, county roads
and city streets according to the tons of freight that are transported each year. The freight and
goods transportation system (FGTS) identifies the highways and roadways most heavily used by
trucks and provides factual data to support funding for projects that improve conditions for freight
transportation. The information is updated every two (2) years, and inclusion of data may be
requested by the City Engineer.
The tonnage classifications used for designating the FGTS are as follows:
T-1: More than 1 million tons per year
T-2: 4 million to 10 million tons per year
T-3: 300,000 to 4 million tons per year
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation
Page 14 of 30
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
T-4: 100,000 to 300,000 tons per year
T-5: At least 20,000 tons in 60 days
For purposes of this analysis, trucks are defined to include all trucks with two (2) rear-axles (six (6)
tires) or larger. They also include larger two (2) rear-axle (four (4) tires) delivery vehicles such as
express package delivery vans, bread trucks or any commercial vehicle. Private pickups, vans or
recreational vehicles are not included. To aid in
calculating annual tonnage, trucks are divided into
categories, as shown below: r•
Single Units--A single vehicle including dump trucks y f, �
and mixers, regardless of the number of axles. ---t
Double Units - A two (2)-unit vehicle, normally a �' F
truck and trailer, generally with four (4) to six (6)
axles. This category is basically any truck up to
80,000 lbs.; older double trailers can be included in "
this category.
Trains -- Normally a tractor and two (2) trailers.
Trucks rated from 80,000 lbs. to 105,000 lbs.; except gasoline tankers.
In calculating the approximate freight tonnage, the following average weights were used:
Singles: 7 tons
Doubles: 27 tons
Trains: 42 tons
Truck routes regulate through truck traffic and do not apply to freight movements with origination or
destination on any roadway. The designation of truck routes is intended to direct through-truck
movements to arterials designed for such traffic, and to limit the adverse impact of such traffic on
adjacent land uses. Residential land uses are particularly sensitive to heavy truck usage. The
designation of freight corridors generally improves traffic flow and freight mobility.

3.4 Transit
Spokane Valley is located in the East Planning Region of the STA. The STA currently provides
local bus and express bus to downtown Spokane, as well as paratransit service within the City of
Spokane Valley. In the spring of 2004, a local option election authorized an additional three tenths
of 1% sales tax for transit, with a sunset clause of June 2009. The STA currently operates two (2)
Park & Ride facilities within Spokane Valley; one (1) located at University Road and Appleway
Boulevard and the other on Indiana Avenue at Mirabeau Parkway. Facilities and routes are shown
on the diagram below.

Paratransit van service is for individuals whose disability prevents them from using the regular fixed
route buses. This means that a person must be unable, due to a disability, to get to or from the bus
stop, gel on or off the bus, or successfully travel by bus to or from the destination. Currently,
paratransit service is provided Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m., with service on
Sundays and holidays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (last pickup at 7:00 p.m.) throughout the paratransit
service area. All paratransit trips must begin and end within the Public Transportation Benefit Area
(PTBA). Currently, all of the area within the corporate limits of the City of Spokane Valley is within
the PBTA. This area also includes Cheney, Medical Lake, Airway Heights, Millwood, Fairchild Air
Force Base, Liberty Lake and the City of Spokane.
STA provides bike racks on all their buses with the exception of the streetcars used on the
Plaza/Arena Shuttle. The racks hold two (2), single-seat, two (2)-wheeled, non-motorized bicycles.
Each bicycle can be secured independently.
The Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) provides for a high capacity transportation (HCT)
system to be developed in the future, that would extend from the City of Spokane's central business
district through Spokane Valley to Liberty Lake.
"High-capacity transportation system" means a system of public transportation services within an
urbanized region operating principally on exclusive rights or way, and the supporting services and
facilities necessary to implement such a system, including interim express services and high
occupancy vehicle lanes, which taken as a whole, provides a substantially higher level of
passenger capacity, speed and service frequency than traditional public transportation systems
operating principally in general purpose roadways. RCW 81.104,015(1).

The future route begins at the STA Plaza and the downtown alignment runs less than a mile along
Riverside Avenue. The Convention Center and the Spokane Intermodal Center are within walking
distance to the nearest station. East of Downtown, the alignment shares approximately six (6)
miles of existing railroad right-of-way (BNSF and UPRR) to Dishman Mica Road. The route
continues east from Dishman Mica Road the alignment is along the existing Appleway Boulevard
right-of-way to its terminus in Liberty Lake. Appleway Boulevard is improved east to University
Road where unimproved right-of-way exists to Tschirley Road. Portions of the Appleway right-of-
way east or University Road is not of sufficient width required to accommodate both the future HCT
facilities and planned improvements by the City.

HCT Stations and Preliminary Alignment through Spokane Valley
If approved, the long range success of HCT will depend on redevelopment of commercial corridors
and location of higher density housing in close proximity to transit routes.
There are new park and ride facilities proposed within Spokane Valley at the Fairgrounds,Argonne,
Pines, Sullivan and the Appleway/I-90 Interchange. They range in size from 50 to 200 spaces.
The Appleway Park and Ride could eventually be expanded to accommodate up to 1,000 cars.
3.6 Aviation
Spokane International Airport, the Airport Business Park, and Felts Field Airport are owned by the
city and county of Spokane, and are operated and maintained by the Spokane Airport Board. Felts
Field Airport's history traces back more than 85 years with its beginning as a landing field in a park
area next to the Spokane River in the Spokane Valley. The airport's heritage includes the original
site of the Washington Air National Guard.
In the 1930's and 1940's, Felts Field served as Spokane's municipal airport with scheduled airline
service from the airport terminal. That building, along with others at the airport is now on the
National Register of Historic Places.
All but approximately 10 acres of the 410-acre Felts Field is located in the City of Spokane. Ten
acres are located within the City of Spokane Valley. The airport is located at the North end of
Fancher Road in the western Spokane Valley, and is now an active General Aviation airport with
320 based aircraft and more than 72,000 annual aircraft operations.
Information for the combined Spokane Airport System is summarized in the table below:

Felts Field is classified as a reliever airport in the Washington State Aviation System Plan. The
airport is located adjacent to the city boundary; a portion of the southeast corner lies within
Spokane Valley city limits. Felts Field has 361 based aircraft, including 289 single-engine aircraft
and 24 multi-engine piston-powered aircraft. Annual general aviation operations totaled 29,000 in
2002.
Airport facilities and affiliated properties support the local economy through a variety of activities.
For example, a recent study estimated that the average general aviation trip generates
approximately $700 in food, lodging and entertainment spending. According to the 2001 WSDOT
Aviation Forecast and Economic Analysis study, the airport generated about 250 jobs with an
annual payroll of$4.5 million, and 16.5 million in total annual sales output.
Felts Field has two (2) runways, Runway 3R/21L. Information about each runway is shown in
Table 3.6.

Runway, 3L has runway end indicator lights, visual approach slope indicators (VASI) providing
vertical guidance, and VOR and GPS and NDB non-precision approaches. Runway 21R is
equipped with VASI's, as well as a medium density approach lighting system with runway alignment
indicator lights (MALSR), which, in conjunction with an instrument landing system, provides a CAT
precision approach to this runway end. The MALSR is pilot controlled when the tower is not in
operation. There is a published non-precision approach to Runway 3Rf21 L rather than a specific
runway end.
The Felts Held Airport Master Plan, adopted in October 2005, is a 20-year needs assessment
providing recommendations for improvements. The major recommendations of the master plan
include construction of new taxiways, new development to the north along the river, and an
extension of 550' to the main runway in the next 15 years to accommodate larger aircraft.
The master plan also provides recommendations for the seaplane base located on the river
adjacent to Felts Field. It is the only one (1) of its kind in Eastern Washington. The water landing is
6,000' long and 100' wide and accommodates approximately 450 landings annually. The Felts
Field Master Plan calls for expansion of the airport's seaplane facilities over the next 20 years,
including the construction of an additional dock, upgrades to existing docks, and improvements to
the ramp.

3.7 Pipelines
Pipelines are an integral part of the overall transportation picture. A number of pipelines are
located within Spokane County and the metropolitan area. Yellowstone Pipeline Company
(operated by Conoco/Phillips) maintains a high pressure petroleum pipeline and intermodal facilities
located within Spokane Valley. Williams Pipeline and Pacific Gas & Electric transmission natural
gas pipelines are located in within the unincorporated area of Spokane County. (See Map 6.14).
3.8 Multimodal/Intermodal Transportation
The CWPPs, Policy Topic 5, Policy 3 states that "alternative modes of transportation to the
automobile, including public transportation, pedestrian facilities, bikeways and air and rail facilities"
shall be included in the regional transportation plan.
"Multimoda! transportation planning focuses on system choices, and adapts a generic,
non-mode specific approach to defining and evaluating transportation problems. It then
attempts to provide an unbiased estimate of each mode's contribution, singly or in
combination, to solve the problem. lntermodal transportation planning, on the other hand,
examines the policy and service interactions between modes, focusing on ensuring ease of
movement for both people and goods when transferring from one (1) mode to another".9
1. Mullimodal Transportation:
a. Market preferences for low density residential development results in increased amounts
of auto-dependency, particularly in suburban areas with a large number of commuters.
The lack of transportation system connectivity in many residential areas often obviates
alternative transportation options available to individuals, including walking, bicycle and
public transit. This is particularly the case where the lack of infrastructure for such
alternatives is limited or non-existent.
b. Public transit depends on ridership to remain a viable option, since systems depend on
revenues generated by fares. Low density development and access limitation impede
the attractiveness of transit in many suburban areas, both for the individual and the
service provider. Bus transit utilizes the same street system utilized by automobiles, and
the location of transit stops is an important consideration in evaluating mobility within the
street network, particularly on two (2)-lane roads without bus pull-outs. HCT overcomes
the adverse impact on the roadway system where located within a dedicated right-of-way.
"SEE CHAPTER 6-UTILITIES
9 Technical Assistance Report,MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IN VIRGINIA.,PAST PRACTICES AND NEW
OPPORTUNITIES,Stephen C.Brich and Lester A.Heel.
Adopted April 25, 2006(Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation
Page 23 of 30
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
c. Bicycles also utilize the street network, although bicycle access can be supplemented
with trails and shared pathways. Both bicycle routes and pedestrian ways should be
separated from roadways designed for heavy commercial traffic as a safety measure.
Regulations which prohibit parking in bicycle lanes is necessary to maintain the
functionality of a bicycle system.
d. Pedestrian mobility depends on the availability of well-maintained sidewalks and/or linked
trails to destinations such as schools, employment and shopping. The utility of both
pedestrian ways and bicycle routes may be compromised by inclement weather,
particularly in areas of snow accumulation. Distance from schools, shopping and
employment again is a significant factor in the effectiveness of the pedestrian network, as
are pedestrian comfort and perception of safety.
e. Truck acceleration and movement differs significantly from that of passenger cars and
light trucks using the roadway. Truck acceleration/deceleration is generally slower,
particularly in hilly terrain, and turning movements require additional space. It is
advisable to segregate freight movement on the roadways from commuter routes on
arterials with numerous stops or those without carefully synchronized signals. Trucks are
usually the only alternative for the local delivery of commodities, and unlike passenger
vehicles, are especially dependent on intermodal facilities such as airports, rail hubs or
pipeline terminals. Adequate roadway access to these modes of freight transportation is
a key consideration in improving overall mobility.
f. Rail and pipelines operate within dedicated rights-of-way. Both modes are best suited to
the movement of large quantities of particular types of goods. They necessarily rely on
efficient linkages with other modes to make local deliveries. They generally represent
conflict with other modes of transportation at the point on intersection, such as in the
case with at-grade railroad crossings. These conflicts can occasionally cause serious
issues of both mobility and safety.
g. Aviation relies on successful and efficient links with other modes of transportation serving
both passenger traffic and freight movement. The nature of aviation is such that flight
corridors have significant effects on adjacent land uses and the transportation serving
those uses.
2. Intermodal Transportation
The importance of the various types of intermodal transportation depends to a high degree on
the service required and the land uses served, and the length of trips involved.
a. In residential areas, a choice of mode favoring the individual is of greater importance.
Transportation system choices for individuals will depend on the relative convenience,
access and pricing of the alternatives. Public policy may seek to change the relative
value of individual choices. They could no this by various means, including public
improvement, offering financial/non-financial incentives, or adopting regulations.
i. Public improvements. Improved pedestrian access to transit corridors, shopping and
schools makes walking and public transportation more attractive to individuals using
those facilities. Planning for higher density land uses adjacent these mode
alternatives. Similarly, bus shelters and similar amenities which increase individual
comfort and convenience will encourage additional utilization of alternative modes of
transportation.
ii, Incentives. The Commuter Trip Reduction (CTR) program encourages car and van-
pooling through corporate sponsorship. Additional incentives include telecommuting,
company sponsored bus passes, and flexible work scheduling, which allows workers
to avoid peak traffic periods. Where High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes are in
place, vehicles with at least two(2) occupants benefit from reduced travel time.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3— Transportation
Page 24 of 30
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
iii. Regulation. Local governments adopt regulations which have the affect of
encouraging alternative modes of transportation.
a, Decisions concerning freight movements are determined almost exclusively by
the needs of suppliers and markets, but competitive pricing is probably the most
significant factor in mode choice. 'Just in time" delivery has replaced
warehousing in most commodity markets, where delay is a cost factor. The
efficiency of intermodal connections, loosely defined as that point where two (2)
or more modes of transportation come together, e.g. roadways connecting
airports, railroad loading facilities and freight terminals, pipelines and terminal
facilities, depend more on the availability and adequacy of infrastructure and
linkages. Through freight traffic should be segregated from
origination/destination traffic to improve flow.
iv. Signalization on roadways should be synchronized for commercial trucks to limit
stopping and starting.
v. Infrastructure in commercial and industrial areas should be designed to facilitate
freight movement, including wide radii at intersections.
vi. For goods moving on dedicated rights-of-way; reducing or eliminating points of
conflict with other modes will facilitate mobility.
3.9 Citizen Participation
The City conducted a citizen survey in the spring of 2004 to solicit community opinion on several
general and other more specific transportation issues. The survey was a telephone survey
conducted by Clearwater Research and was a statistically valid survey contacting over 400
households within the City of Spokane Valley.

At the eight community workshops that were conducted during the spring and fall of 2004, an
informal survey was taken which was based on the survey discussed above. The results from this
informal survey generally supported the results of the statistically valid survey conducted by the
Clearwater Research.
The Spokane Valley Planning Commission held five (5) public hearings in June, July and
September 2005. The Spokane Valley City Council held eight (8) public hearings on the
Comprehensive Plan, concluding their deliberation on April 25, 2006.

City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
CHAPTER 4 — CAPITAL FACILITIES AND PUBLIC SERVICES
4.0 Introduction
The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires new development to be directed to areas that either
currently have adequate public facilities and services, or to areas where facilities and services can
be delivered within the 20-year time frame of the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan (SVCP).
Facilities and services that are required for new development must be adequate and available at
adopted levels of service (LOS). Locally established LOS help to define and contribute to Spokane
Valley's quality of life.
4.1 Planning Context
This section provides a review of the policy directives included in the State's Growth Management
Act(GMA) and the Countywide Planning Policies relating to capital facilities planning.
4.1.1 Growth Management Act
The GMA refers to capital facilities planning in two (2) of the thirteen (13) statewide planning goals.
The two relevant goals are:
• Urban Growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities
and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner.
• Public facilities and services. Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to
support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the
development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels
below locally established minimum standards.
More specifically, the GMA mandates that the City prepare a capital facilities plan which contains
the following components:
• An inventory of existing facilities owned by public entities, showing the locations
and capacities of the facilities.
• A forecast of the future needs for such facilities.
• The proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new facilities.
• At least a six-year financing plan that will finance such facilities and clearly identify
sources of public money for such purposes.
• A requirement to reassess the Land Use chapter if probable funding falls short.
4.1.2 Countywide Planning Policies
The Countywide Planning Policies (CWPP), originally adopted in 1994, contain a number of goals
and policies regarding capital facilities and the provision of urban services. Those CWPP relevant
to capital facilities planning are as follows:1
Policy Topic 1 -- Urban Growth Areas (UGAs)
Urban Growth Area Designation Process for New Incorporated Cities:
1. The Steering Committee of Elected Officials will assign new incorporated cities an interim
population allocation based on the Office of Financial Management population forecasts
and previous allocations to the former unincorporated area.
Note to reader: The following policies are numbered according to the policy number In the CWPPs, resulting In non-sequential
numbering in this document.
Adopted April 25, 2006(Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 - Capital Facilities
Page 1 of 67
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
2. The new city will conduct a land capacity analysis using the Land Quantity Methodology
adopted by the Steering Committee.
a. The city will first determine land capacity inside its limits and then will examine the
capacity of unincorporated UGAs adjoining the jurisdiction's boundary.
3. The new city will develop the Urban Growth Area proposal as part of its comprehensive
planning process.
a. The proposed UGA shall be presented to the Steering Committee at a public meeting.
The new city must justify its UGA proposal, showing how the interim population
allocation will be accommodated.
b. The city must show how the area will be providing a full range of urban services within
the 20-year timeframe of the comprehensive plan.
c. All Urban Growth Areas lying adjacent to the new city should be analyzed and either
proposed as the jurisdiction's UGA, a Joint Planning Area (JPA), or proposed to be
removed from the UGA and converted to rural land.
d. The city will show its work by presenting its land capacity analysis, urban service
analysis and other information as appropriate.
4. The Steering Committee will conduct a public hearing on the population allocation and the
Urban Growth Area and/or the (or Joint Planning Area) proposal. The Steering Committee
will vote on the proposal and will forward a recommendation to the Board of County
Commissioners via minutes from the public hearing.
5. The Board of County Commissioners may conduct a public hearing on the proposed Urban
Growth Area, and/or the proposed Joint Planning Area, and population allocation. After the
hearing, the Board will approve and adopt, modify or return the proposal to the city for
revision and/or adoption.
a. The new city shall include the approved or modified UGA and/or the JPA in its
comprehensive plan.
b. The new UGA or JPA will become an amendment to the Spokane County
Comprehensive Plan by incorporation.
Policies
1. Urban Growth should be located first in areas already characterized by urban growth that
have existing public facility and service capacities to serve such development, and second
in areas already characterized by urban growth that will be served by a combination of both
existing public facilities and services and any additional needed public facilities and
services that are provided by either public or private sources. Further, it is appropriate that
urban government services be provided by cities, and urban government services should
not be provided in rural areas.
Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) include all lands within existing cities, including cities in rural areas.
2. The determination and proposal of an Urban Growth Area (UGA) outside existing
incorporated limits shall be based on a jurisdiction's ability to provide urban governmental
services at the minimum level of service specified by the Steering Committee. Jurisdictions
may establish higher level of service standards in their respective comprehensive plans.
5. Each jurisdiction shall submit proposed interim and final Urban Growth Area (UGA)
boundaries to the Steering Committee, including:
a. Justification in the form of its land capacity analysis and the ability to provide urban
governmental services and public facilities;
b. The amount of population growth which could be accommodated and the analytical
basis by which this growth figure was derived; and
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 - Capital Facilities
Page 2 of 67
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
c. How much unincorporated [and is required to accommodate growth, including maps
indicating the additional areas?
8. Each municipality must document its ability to provide urban governmental services within
its existing city limits prior to the designation of an Urban Growth Area (UGA) designation
outside of existing city limits. To propose an Urban Growth Area (UGA) designation
outside of their existing city limits, municipalities must provide a full range of urban
governmental services based on each municipality's capital facilities element of their
Comprehensive Plan.
11. Each jurisdiction's comprehensive plan shall, at a minimum, demonstrate the ability to
provide necessary domestic water, sanitary sewer and transportation improvements
concurrent with development. Small municipalities (those with a population of 1,000 or
less) may utilize approved interim ground disposal methods inside of Urban Growth Areas
(UGAs) until such time as full sanitary sewer services can be made available. Each
jurisdiction should consider long-term service and maintenance requirements when
delineating Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) and making future land use decisions.
12. Within Urban Growth Areas (UGAs), new developments should be responsible for
infrastructure improvements attributable to those developments.
18. Extension of urban governmental services outside of Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) should
only be provided to maintain existing levels of service in existing urban like areas or for
health and safety reasons, provided that such extensions are not an inducement to growth.
Policy Topic 2—Joint Planning within Urban Growth Areas
Policies
1. The joint planning process should:
a. Include all jurisdictions adjacent to the Urban Growth Area and Special Purpose
Districts that will be affected by the eventual transference of governmental services.
b. Recognize that Urban Growth Areas are potential annexation areas for cities.
c. Ensure a smooth transition of services amongst existing municipalities and emerging
communities.
d. Ensure the ability to expand urban governmental services and avoid land use barriers
to expansion; and
e. Resolve issues regarding how zoning, subdivision and other land use approvals in
designated joint planning areas will be coordinated.
2. Joint planning may be accomplished pursuant to an interlocal agreement entered into
between and/or among jurisdictions and/or special purpose districts.
Policy Topic 3 -- Promotion of Contiguous and Orderly Development and Provision of Urban
Services
Policies
1. -Each jurisdiction shall include policies in its comprehensive plan to address how urban
development will be managed to promote efficiency in the use of land and the provision of
urban governmental services and public facilities. The Steering Committee shall specify
regional minimum level of service standards (see Table 4.1) for urban governmental
services with the exception of police protection within Urban Growth Areas (UGAs). Local
jurisdictions may choose higher standards. In its comprehensive plan, each jurisdiction
shall include, but not be limited to, level of service standards for:

consistent with land use and capital facility plans.
Policy Topic 9-- Fiscal Impacts
Policies
1. Each jurisdiction shall identify, within the capital facilities element of its comprehensive
plan, capital resources that will be available to accommodate the additional development
which is anticipated within Urban Growth Areas (UGAs).
4.2 Essential Public Facilities
The City of Spokane Valley is required to plan for essential public facilities (EPFs) pursuant to
GMA. Spokane County adopted through the CWPP5 Growth Management Essential Public
Facilities Technical Committee Report" in 1996, which set forth a model project review process for
the siting of EPFs. All jurisdictions within the County are required to provide a mechanism in the
Comprehensive Plan to utilize the model project review process either verbatim or as a model.
More recently, the Washington State Legislature passed two laws addressing siting of EPFs. In
June 2001 the state enacted ESSB 6151, and in March 2002 the state enacted ESSB 6594. These
laws require counties and cities fully planning under GMA to include a process in their
Comprehensive Plans to provide for the siting of Secure Community Transition Facilities (SCTFs).
A"secure community transition facility" (SCTF) is the statutory name for a less restrictive alternative
residential facility program operated or contracted by the Department of Social and Health Services.
As stated in RCW 71.09.020, "...a secure community transition facility has supervision and security,
and either provides or ensures the provision of sex offender treatment services." The program
offers 24-hour intensive staffing and line-of-sight supervision by trained escorts when residents
leave the facility. A less restrictive alternative (LRA) placement is defined in the state law as a living
arrangement that is less restrictive than total confinement.
In response to these new state laws, planning staff from all jurisdictions in Spokane County formed
a task force to cooperatively develop a regional siting process for all essential public facilities,
including SCTFs. The Essential Public Facilities Task Force, with assistance from the Washington
State Office of Community Development (OCD), the Department of Social and Health Services
(DSHS), and technical staff from the jurisdictions developed a regional siting process for essential
public facilities titled Spokane County Regional Siting Process for Essential Public Facilities. Table
4.2 below lists EPFs that are either wholly or partially located within the City.
The regional process provides for a review process with a location analysis. Public involvement
takes place throughout the process with public comment periods as well as public hearings. The
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities
Page 6 of 67
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
review process requires the applicant for an EPF to assume responsibility for the bulk of the
analysis and processing of the proposal. The analysis includes two parts. First, an analysis of
functional criteria of all potential sites is conducted to select the highest-ranking ten (10) semi-
finalist sites. Second, these ten semi-finalist sites are analyzed using more qualitative criteria and
resulting in selection of at least three (3) preferred sites. Both analyses include public comment
periods.
Next, the Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) conducts a public hearing on the Preferred Site
List to allow for further public comment, identify strategies to address any issues associated with
particular sites, and rank the finalist sites. The BoCC ranking is advisory to but not binding on the
applicant. Last, the applicant, after selecting a specific site, will work directly with a local jurisdiction
and its regulatory requirements to permit construction and operation of the EPF.
The regional siting process is based on a coordinated inter-jurisdictional approach, which in
combination with consistent development regulations among the jurisdictions will implement the
requirement of equitable distribution of EPF of a statewide or regional/countywide nature.

4.4 Capital Facilities Plan
4.4.1 Introduction
The Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) provides an analysis of the facilities and services required to
support the future land use and growth projected in the Comprehensive Plan. The CFP includes a
six year capital projects and a financing plan for facilities provided by the City. The finance plan
identifies specific revenue sources that the City reasonably anticipates will be available in the year
the project is scheduled to be constructed. The CFP includes Level of Service (LOS) standards for
each public facility or service and requires that new development be served by adequate facilities.
The purpose of the CFP is to use sound fiscal policies to provide adequate public facilities
consistent with the land use element and concurrent with, or prior to, the impacts of development.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities
Page 11 of 67
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
4.4.2 Growth Assumption
On June 9, 2009, the Spokane County Board of Commissioners (BoCC) approved a population
allocation of 18,746 people for the City of Spokane Valley. The allocation is the amount of people
the City can accommodate within its current municipal boundary. In addition, the BoCC approved a
population allocation of 8,138 people for the unincorporated Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) adjacent
to the City of Spokane Valley. The City of Spokane Valley has identified the adjacent UGAs as
Potential Annexation Areas (PAAs). The City has identified existing service providers to help
determine the effects on existing levels of service in the event of annexation. Capital facilities
planning activities within these UGAs continue to be the County's responsibility.
The following population data is used for capital facilities planning purposes:
Table 4.4 Population Projection

Population B 690,190 04730, 55,303 •40
,�a� y344100,803
4.4.3 Level of Service
Cities are often defined by the quality of facilities and services that are provided to its residents.
Good road, sewer and water infrastructure are typical criteria used by businesses considering
relocation. Park and recreation facilities are increasingly used to judge the quality of a City.
Businesses want to locate where they can attract the best employees, and quality of life issues are
often the deciding factor for a person to move to a new area.
Level of service standards are quantifiable measures, such as acres of parks per 1000 people, or
the amount of time it takes to travel a road segment during peak morning and afternoon "rush
hours," the higher the level of service the higher the cost. This element establishes levels of
service which will be used to evaluate the adequacy and future cost of urban facilities and services.
4.4.3 Concurrency
The Growth Management Act introduces the concept of concurrency, which requires new
development to be served with adequate urban services at the time of development, or within a
specified time thereafter, The GMA allows six years for necessary transportation improvements to
be constructed as long as a financial commitment is made at the time of development. The GMA
strongly encourages concurrency for water and sewer, and it is good public policy to require the
same.
4.4.4 Financing Facilities and Services
The City is limited in its ability to finance all desired capital facility projects. Options must be
available for addressing funding shortfalls or decisions must be made to lower levels of service for
public facilities. In deciding how to address a particular shortfall, the City will need to balance
current needs versus future growth requirements; existing deficiencies versus future expansions.
Capital facilities plans must be balanced. When funding shortfalls occur, the following options
should be considered:
a. Increase revenues,
b. decrease level of service standards,
c. decrease the cost of the service or facility,
d. decrease the demand for the service or facility,
e. or some combination of the above.

4.4.6 Impact Fees
New growth creates a demand for new and expanded public facilities and services. The GMA
authorizes local governments to impose and collect impact fees to partially fund public facilities to
accommodate new growth. Impact fees can be used to pay for new or expanded facilities and
cannot be collected to address existing infrastructure deficiencies. The GMA allows impact fees to
be assessed on the following:
• Public Streets and Roads • Public Parks
• Schools • Open Space
• Fire Protection Facilities • Recreation Facilities
The City has not enacted impact fees as a funding mechanism for capital facilities, but may study
the issue as directed by future City policy.

City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
4.4.7 Community Facilities
This section of the CFP includes civic buildings such as government offices, community centers,
and entertainment facilities. As a new City, Spokane Valley does not have a significant inventory of
community facilities.
Inventory of Existing Facilities
Spokane Valley completed construction of CenterPlace at Mirabeau Point Park, in the summer,
2005. The facility houses the Spokane Valley Senior Center, conference facilities, classrooms and
a "great room" for events. CenterPlace has a dining capacity of 400 and includes a full commercial
kitchen.
Spokane Valley leases office and meeting space for employees and City Council in the Redwood
Plaza office building, located at 11707 East Sprague Avenue. Spokane Valley also leases precinct
and court space at the Valley Precinct Building located 12710 East Sprague.
Level of Service
Spokane Valley does not propose to adopt a level of service standard for community facilities.
Forecast of Future Needs
The need for new community facilities is difficult to quantify and depends on the future structure of
City government. If Spokane Valley continues to contract for services such as police, parks and
road maintenance, the need to acquire and maintain facilities will be minimal. However, if Spokane
Valley begins providing these services, there will be a corresponding need for administrative office
space and other facilities. For example, if Spokane Valley assumes responsibility for parks
maintenance, a new maintenance facility would have to be constructed to house equipment and
employees.
At some future point, Spokane Valley will likely purchase an existing building or construct a new
building to house City Hall. This decision must be made with thought and vision. in the right
location, City Hall will be the center for civic affairs and community events and will influence
economic development and the creation of a City Center. The location should be centralized and
accessible to all citizens,
Nearly three-quarters of the Citizen Survey respondents support using public money to help create
a City Center. Locating a civic building, such as City Hall, in the City Center would be a significant
catalyst to creating a distinct center and identity for Spokane Valley.
Locations and Capacities of Future Facilities
Spokane Valley currently has no specific plans to construct new community facilities. The City
must decide the location of a permanent City Hall and/or other civic buildings. Future updates to
the Capital Facilities element will include information on locations and capacities for community
facilities.
Capital Projects and Financing Plan
Spokane Valley anticipates either constructing a new City Hall building, or purchasing and
remodeling an existing building within the six year time frame of this CFP, The following table
shows that Spokane Valley will use approximately $1,000,000 of Real Estate Excise Tax revenue
for Civic Buildings.

4.4.8 Domestic Water
The City of Spokane Valley does not own or operate a public water supply system. Rather, water is
provided to Spokane Valley residences and businesses by special purpose districts, associations,
and public and private corporations. Water service is coordinated by Spokane County through the
Coordinated Water System Plan (CWSP), which identifies service boundaries, establishes
minimum design standards and promotes the consolidation of regional water resource
management. The CWSP is updated as needed at the direction of the Board of County
Commissioners or the Washington State Department of Health (DOH).
The City of Spokane Valley is supportive of existing regional water supply planning, water use
efficiency programs and plans, watershed planning, wellhead protection plans, water quality plans,
and planning for reclamation and reuse.

Water System Plans
The Washington State Department of Health recommends that all water purveyors prepare a water
system plan to determine future needs for water facilities within their service areas. The plans must
include an existing facility inventory, project future needs for water supply, conservation strategies,
and identify and provide for the protection of aquifers against contaminates. Once a water system
plan is adopted, it must be updated every six years. The Department of Health is the approval
authority for water system plans. Water purveyors meeting the following criteria are required to
have water system plans approved by DOH.
1. Systems having 1000 or more connections.
2. Systems required to develop water system plans under the Public Water System
Coordination Act of 1977 (Chapter 70.116 RCW).
3. Any system experiencing problems related to planning, operation and/or management as
determined by the Department of Health.
4. All new systems.
5. Any expanding system.
6. Any system proposing to use the document submittal exception process in WAC 246-290-
125 (documents such as project reports and constructions drawings).
In 2003, the Washington State Legislation passed what is commonly referred to as the "Municipal
Water Law" (MWL), amending sections of the State Board of Health Code (RCW 43.20); the laws
governing Public Water Systems (RCW70.199A); and sections of the state's Water Code (RCW
90.03). The MWL requires that water system planning documents must be consistent with
Spokane Valley's Comprehensive Plan and development regulations. The Department of Health is
developing procedures that water systems must follow to ensure coordination with local jurisdictions
and consistency with growth planning.
Water Rights
Washington State water law requires all prospective water uses to obtain a water right permit from
the Department of Ecology (DOE) before constructing a well or withdrawing any groundwater from
a well. However, the law does allow a water right permit exemption, referred to as the domestic
exemption, which states that no water right permit is required for the withdrawal of up to 5,000
gallons of water per day from a well when the water is being used for the following:
1. Livestock watering.
2. Single or group domestic water supply.
3. Industrial purposes.
4. Irrigation of no more than one half acre of lawn or noncommercial garden (RCW
90.44.050).
For many years, Ecology issued water right certificates to water suppliers based on projected future
use, rather than actual "beneficial use." The unused portions of those certificates or rights are
known as "inchoate" rights, which could potentially be taken away by Ecology if not put to beneficial
use.
This situation was troubling to municipal water suppliers. Public water systems need a level of
certainty to obtain financing for capital facilities as well as to issue letters of water availability to
development interests. The "Municipal Water Law: of 2003" clarified that cities are entitled to
inchoate (unused) water for the purpose of serving expanding areas. This ensures that
municipalities have sufficient water for anticipated growth based on the communities'
comprehensive plans and water and supply plans.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 - Capital Facilities
Page 16 of 67
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
Watershed Planning
In 1998, Washington State passed the Watershed Management Act to develop a "thorough and
cooperative method of determining what the current water resource situation is in each Water
Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) of the state and to provide local citizens with the maximum
possible input concerning their goals and objectives for water resource management and
development" (RCW 90.82.005). In late 1998, a Planning Unit was formed for WRIAs 55 and 57, or
the Middle Spokane-Little Spokane River watersheds, with Spokane County designated as the lead
agency.
The Watershed Management Act requires the Planning Unit to address water quantity issues and
allows water quality, habitat and in-stream flows to be considered in the process. The watershed
planning effort is expected to produce information on how water is used in the Water Resource
Inventory Areas and recommendations for how it should be used in the future.
The Planning Unit may also formulate a recommendation for in-stream flows for the Spokane and
Little Spokane Rivers. The Department of Ecology may establish minimum water flows or levels for
streams, lakes or other public waters for the purpose of protecting fish, game, birds or other wildlife
resources, or recreational or aesthetic values of said public waters whenever it appears to be in the
public interest to do so.
The data, information and recommendations generated by the Planning Unit may be used by the
Department of Ecology to assess the ability to issue new water rights for the Spokane Valley-
Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer. The WRIA 55 and 57 planning process will provide a basis for better
understanding of potential water resource limits and will be incorporated into future updates to this
capital facilities plan.
Inventory of Water Systems
Most of the water used by Spokane Valley residents and businesses is provided by water and
irrigation districts and small water systems, listed in Tables 4.7 and 4.8 and shown on the Water
Districts and Wellheads map, located at the end of this chapter. The City of Spokane provides
water to the western portions of Spokane Valley, totaling approximately 620 connections. Group
A water systems are those which have 15 or more service connections or regularly serve 25 or
more people 60 or more days per year. Group B water systems serve two to 14 connections and
are not subject to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. Instead, they must meet state and local
requirements for water quality and operations.

Fire protection and emergency medical services -
(EMS) are provided by Spokane Valley Fire
Department (SVFD) and Spokane County Fire r'.
District No, 8. SVFD serves over 90% of the `i
Valley, while District 8 serves a few small areas in
the southern part of the City (see Fire Districts Map +' . ,� `
at the end of this chapter). Both districts serve the Fr?
City with a full range of fire suppression and EMS iT i „F}
services. Spokane Valley voters chose to annex - I r '; - r'
into SVFD and District No. 8 in September, 2004.
Insurance Rating — - -
Fire departments are assigned a numerical fire protection rating by the Washington Surveying and
Ratings Bureau. Insurance companies fund the Bureau to perform on-site inspections of fire
districts to determine the rating. The Bureau analyzes five main areas: average response time,
water supply, communication network, schedule of fire inspections and fire station evaluations
(which focus on age of vehicles), personnel training and staffing of facilities.
Insurance companies use the fire protection rating to help determine insurance rates on all fire
insurance policies. The rating is on a scale of one to ten, with one representing the best score.
Quality of fire service can have a significant impact on fire insurance rates, particularly for
commercial businesses. SVFD has a Fire Insurance Rating of three (3) and District No. 8 has a
Rating of five (5), both indicating excellent fire protection services.
Inventory of existing Facilities and Apparatus
The Fire Districts Map shows the location of fire stations and service area boundaries for SVFD,

Inside Spokane Valley City Limits
Fire District No. 8 has one fire station inside the City limits, station 84 in the Ponderosa
neighborhood, located at 4410 South Bates. The District has two stations located outside the City
limits providing additional coverage, No. 81 at 6117 South Palouse Highway and No. 85 at 3324
South Linke Road. Stations 81 and 84 each have two Class A engines and two wild land brush
engines. Station 85 has one Class A engine and one wild land brush engine.
Level of Service
The Level of Service goals for response time are described in SFVD's Standard of Cover. SVFD's
Standard of Cover is consistent with the regionally adopted minimum level of service for fire
protection and emergency services.
The following table shows the number of calls per year.

Year 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
City Responses 8270 9144 10080 9480 9394
The Countywide Planning Policies for Spokane County establishes minimum levels of service for
fire and emergency medical services as follows:
Urban areas are required to be serviced by a Fire District with at least a Class Six Insurance rating.
• Urban areas must be within five road miles of an operating fire station that provides service
with a"Class A'pumper, unless structures are equipped with fire sprinklers.
• Urban areas shall be served by a state certified basic life support (BLS) agency within five
miles and an operating advanced life support unit within six miles or ten minutes response
time.
Both SVFD and 8 meet the minimum countywide level of service standards.
Forecast of Future Needs
The northeast area of the City is underdeveloped at present but as the City grows over the next ten
to fifteen years, SVFD recognizes that a new station will need to be constructed to provide an
adequate level of service. Station 11 will be constructed at Barker and Euclid.
Locations and Capacities of Future Facilities
Station No, 11 will be located in the vicinity of Barker and Euclid and will have 3 bays with fire
apparatus. Construction for Station 11 is tentatively planned for 2016 or when growth in the area
will support the investment and ongoing costs.

City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
SVFD is a junior taxing district and supplements its regular taxes with special levies. As the
restrictions on the taxes generated from the regular tax go down, special levies are proposed to
maintain needed funding. Special levies must be approved by voters served by SVFD. The
Department does not use its bonding capacity to fund capital projects. The Department's
philosophy is to reserve funds generated through its regular revenues for future capital needs. The
following table represents SVFD planned capital expenditures.

4.4.9 Library Service
Library services are provided by the Spokane County Library District, which serves the
unincorporated county and eleven of its thirteen cities and towns. The District has a long history of
excellent service and upon incorporation, the City of Spokane Valley contracted with the District for
continued service for its residents. In a May 2005
special election, eighty-seven percent of voters I VALLEY
approved annexing back into the District, with the
annexation effective January 1, 2006.

Inventory of Existing Facilities
Spokane Valley has one library located inside its g a
boundary, the District's Valley Branch, located at 12004 .
East Main. This resource library is the District's largest n I , P.aeu+Av
facility, measuring 22,950 square feet, including branch
administrative space. The District has two other —
libraries within the greater Valley area located at 4322 North Argonne and 22324 East Wellesley in
Otis Orchards.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 - Capital Facilities
Page 21 of 67
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
As of May 2010, approximately 33,000 Spokane Valley residents were Library District cardholders.
Valley Library was the primary branch of registration, with Argonne second and Otis Orchards third.
Spokane County Library District has a reciprocal borrowing agreement with the City of Spokane
with over 1,500 Spokane Valley residents having a Spokane Public Library card.
Library Facility Master Plan
In March 2008 voters defeated a proposal to establish a proposed Greater Spokane Valley Library
Capital Facility area to issue General Obligation Bonds for construction of a new main library and a
new neighborhood branch in the eastern area of the City. The District subsequently undertook a
capital facilities planning process for its entire service area, resulting in the July 2010 Board of
Trustees approval of a 20-year Library Facilities Master Plan (LFMP). Using 2031 population
estimates based on Spokane County GMA population allocations, the LFMP addresses current and
future facility needs in each of its five geographic service areas: the Greater Spokane Valley, North
County, Southeast County, Southwest County, and Moran/Glenrose Prairie.
LFMP development included community research (customer and community telephone surveys,
focus groups, and community leader interviews); population growth estimating by geographic area;
.evaluations of existing facilities and sites; and a public input process. The plan proposes
replacement of three existing libraries with new facilities, the addition of three new branches, and
remodeling/expansion of five others at a total cost of$50.8 million (2010 dollars).
Level of Service
The Library Facilities Master Plan establishes a Level of Service (LOS) of 0.5 square feet per capita
for the overall District, with a target 0.5 square feet per capita within each of the five geographic
regions served.
Forecast of Future Needs
The LFMP uses a 2031 Spokane Valley population estimate of 108,000 for its future projections,
consistent with the City of Spokane Valley's GMA population allocation for growth within the
existing City limits. The District recognizes that new library facilities need to be built inside Spokane
Valley to provide adequate library services to its residents. Future facilities will be divided between
a main branch and two future neighborhood branches.
Locations and Capacities of Future Facilities
A new main branch to replace the existing Spokane Valley Library should contain about 50,000
square feet of space and should be located on an arterial street within about one-half mile of the
Sprague corridor between Dartmouth and Evergreen Roads. To better serve the Veradale and
Greenacres areas, a new neighborhood branch of approximately 12,000 square feet should be built
on District-owned property on Conklin Road, immediately south of Sprague Avenue. A second new
branch to serve the South Valley should be built between Dishman-Mica and Evergreen Roads on
or immediately south of 32nd Avenue. Capital Projects and Financing Plan
The future main branch is estimated to cost$15.56 million in 2010 dollars; the neighborhood branch
would cost about $5.1 million each. Besides construction costs and fees, the estimates include
library materials, furnishings, and equipment. Voter-approved general obligation bonds are the
normal financing method for library projects of this size.
The District's Library Facilities Master Plan proposes a three phase capital improvement schedule
that includes all Spokane Valley projects in the first two phases. The earliest feasible date for a
District-wide bond election to carry out the proposed projects is early 2013, which for purposes of
the schedule is Year 1.
Phase 1: Years 1 to 4
• Complete property purchases (Year 1)
• Design, construct, and open replacement Spokane Valley branch (Years 1-4)

The Library District will coordinate with the City of Spokane Valley in identifying and procuring
building sites, planning the bond issue election, in carrying out design and construction of the new
libraries. As the LFMP is updated, this Capital Facilities Plan will be amended to incorporate future
changes,
Operational Costs
The Library District assumes that with efficient building design and continuing staff productivity
improvements, a larger Valley Library and an eventual new branch can be operated at normal
District funding levels of 50 cents per$1,000 of assessed valuation.

This section of the Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) provides summaries of the parks inventory, level of
service (LOS), future park needs, proposed projects, and a financing plan for the next six years.
Park Types
Parks are classified by their size, service area and function. Spokane Valley uses the nationally
recognized Park, Recreation, Open Space and Greenway Guidelines, to establish standard for
parks planning. Major classifications include mini-park, neighborhood, school-park, community,
large urban, various trail designations and special use facilities. The Parks Element, Chapter 9,
provides a thorough description of park types used for planning purposes.
Inventory of Existing Facilities
The Parks Map, found at the end of this Chapter, shows the location of all parks within Spokane
Valley. Table 4.13 provides an inventory of park and recreation facilities owned by Spokane Valley.
These parks are used to calculate Spokane Valley's level of service for parks. The Parks Master
Plan provides the most detailed inventory of parks, including equipment, structures and other
miscellaneous park facilities.

Level of Service
The Countywide Planning Policies for Spokane County requires all jurisdictions to adopt a level of
service (LOS) standard for parks. Spokane
Valley has the flexibility and freedom to adopt a F•{;•''
LOS standard for parks that reflects the N.(0_1,<3
expressed need and desire of our community. ,' T
The National Recreation and Parks Association ` wl k A
suggest that cities adopt LOS standards for fL r F r �
different park types, such as mini (pocket), - w ; >{ : _ I '01
neighborhood, community and major parks. ' } + ,i_a ,
Spokane Valley does not have a well-developed
park system and will use total City-owned park ft-
acres .
for its LOS measurement.
In 2006, Spokane Valley adopted a LOS of 1.92 ~ s tt� ti
acres/1000 people as its minimum LOS standard. -y 4.;
Spokane Valley recognizes that schools, -
churches, natural areas and commercial enterprises all provide recreation opportunities for
Spokane Valley residents. These will all be taken into consideration when Spokane Valley
determines the best location to purchase new park land.
Forecast of Future Needs
Spokane Valley has the capacity to accommodate an additional 16,493 people over the next 20
years within the current City limits. in order to maintain the adopted LOS of 1.92 acres/1000
people, Spokane Valley would have to add about 35 acres of park land over the next 20 years, with
13 acres in the first six years, as shown in Table 4.15, The Parks Master Plan provides a more
detailed analysis of park and recreation needs by dividing the City into smaller service areas.

4.4.11 Public Safety
The Spokane Valley Police Department is a contract law enforcement agency, partnering with the
Spokane County Sheriff's Department to provide a safe environment for the citizens, businesses,
and visitors of the City of Spokane Valley. This unique contracting relationship allows for the
sharing of many of our resources, allowing both agencies to operate at peak efficiency without
duplicating services.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities
Page 26 of 67
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
Spokane Valley also contracts with Spokane County for judicial, jail and animal control services.
The total contract for public safety for 2011 totaled over$$15.3 million, including approximately 100
commissioned police officers.
Spokane Valley supports community oriented policing and recognizes it as an important
complement to traditional law enforcement, In Spokane County, community policing is known as
S.C.O.P.E., or Sheriff Community Oriented Policing Effort. The community policing model balances
reactive responses to calls for service with proactive problem-solving centered on the causes of
crime and disorder. Community policing requires police and citizens to join together as partners in
the course of both identifying and effectively addressing these issues. About 364 Spokane Valley
citizens are S.C.O.P.E volunteers.
Community Survey
The Community Preference Survey included questions to gauge the public's perception of police
services. Results show that 85% of Spokane Valley residents believe police services are good,
very good, or excellent, indicating a generally high level of confidence in the police force. Only 27%
of respondents expressed a willingness to pay additional taxes to have improved police services.
Inventory of Existing Facilities
The Spokane Valley Police Precinct is located at 12710 E. Sprague and houses patrol and
detective divisions, the traffic unit and administrative staff. The Precinct also includes a Spokane
County District Court.
Spokane Valley is served by four S.C.O.P.E. stations, shown in the following table.

Level of Service
Public safety is a priority for the City of Spokane Valley. It is difficult to determine at this time, an
adequate and measurable level of police protection. Spokane Valley will monitor the performance
of the Spokane County Sheriff's Department and will adjust the contract for services as necessary
to ensure an adequate level of police protection.
Forecast of Future Needs
Future needs for police protection will be determined as a part of the annual budget process.

Spokane Valley is not planning to construct any new law enforcement facilities at this time.
4.4.12 School Facilities
Four public school districts provide service within Spokane Valley: East Valley, West Valley,
Central Valley and Spokane School District 81. Spokane Valley must coordinate with each district
to ensure consistency between the City's plan and school districts' plans. There are also a number
of private schools that provide service to Spokane Valley area children.

Level of Service
The Countywide Planning Policies for Spokane County requires that all jurisdictions adopt a Level
of Service standard for schools. Spokane Valley defers this responsibility to the individual school
districts providing service within the City. Individual school districts may request that Spokane
Valley adopt a Level of Service standard in future updates to the Capital Facilities Element.
Forecast of Future Needs
Central Valley School District
The Central Valley School District (CVSD) is experiencing a period of high growth in student
population, particularly towards its eastern boundary. Liberty Lake and Greenacres Elementary
Schools are currently over capacity. In response to this growth, the District initiated its "Community
Linkages" planning process in the fall of 2004 to develop strategies and alternatives for
accommodating its present and future students.
The committee developed student population projections through the 2008/2009 school year for the
entire district by analyzing growth trends in student population, building permit activity and
proposed housing developments. The data will be used to guide decisions on where to locate
school facilities. Table 4.23 shows the number of students enrolled in Central Valley Schools in
2005 for each school in the District and projections through the 2008-09 school year. In 2005,
11,480 students were enrolled in CVSD schools, with 9,363 of those students living within the City
of Spokane Valley.

Locations and Capacities of Future Facilities
Central Valley School District
The most urgent need for the CVSD is to add more elementary classroom space in the east end of
the District. The District recently acquired two properties in the north Greenacres area for a new
elementary school. The District will need to construct a new high school and middle school in the
20-year time frame of this comprehensive plan. The district has a site for a middle school adjacent
to the Liberty Lake Elementary School. A number of elementary schools need to be completely
remodeled, including Opportunity, Greenacres and Ponderosa.
East Valley School District
East Valley is not planning to construct any new facilities within the six year time frame of this
capital facilities plan. Future updates to this plan will incorporate new capital projects.
West Valley School District
West Valley is remodeling its High School and will add elementary school classroom space.
Capital Projects and Financing Plan
West Valley School District passed a $35 million bond measure in 2004 that is being used to
remodel West Valley High School, construct new elementary school classrooms and a new
gymnasium.
Central Valley School District is in the process of developing a Capital Improvement and Financing
Plan.

4,4.1 3 Sewer Service
ElacksjrQUN
In 1980, Spokane County initiated the Septic Tank Elimination Program (STEP) to bring sewers to
houses and businesses to ete:i in the AqLAfer Sen iti .fAroa SSA]. Since that Ilene, approximately
25,000 residences and businesses in the greater Spokane Valley area have_beensorineeted to the
County's sewer system. The STEP wilt be completed in 2012. Residences and businesses with
sewer available will be required to connect to the public sewer system by 2015.
Upon incorporation, the City of Spokane Valley entered into an interhocai agreement giving
Spokane County lead agency authority to provide sewer service. In 2009 another Inleriocal
acifeeffien t was adopted which established a wastewater management advisory board and gave
Spokane County the exclusive authority to provide sewer service to the City of Spokane.Valley,

4.4.14 Solid Waste
In 1988, the intergovernmental agency known as the Spokane Regional Solid Waste System
(System) was formed by interlocal agreement between the City of Spokane, Spokane County and
all other cities and towns within the County. The System is responsible for implementing solid
waste management plans, planning and developing specific waste management programs and
updating solid waste plans for the entire County. The System is managed by the City of Spokane,
which uses its structure to carry out the various solid waste management programs for our region.
In Spokane Valley, solid waste services are provided by private haulers licensed by the Washington
Utility and Transportation Commission (W.U.T,C.) through franchise agreements. Waste
Management of Spokane provides residential and commercial garbage services and weekly
curbside recycling collection; Sunshine Disposal provides only commercial services. At this time,
Spokane Valley residents are allowed to self-haul their garbage to an appropriate dumping site.
Inventory of Existing Facilities
The Regional Solid Waste System includes a Waste to Energy facility located at 2900 South
Geiger, and two recycling/transfer stations. One of the stations is located within Spokane Valley at
3941 N. Sullivan Road south of Trent and across from the Spokane Industrial Park; the other is
located in north Spokane County at the intersection of Elk-Chattaroy Road and Highway 2.
Landfills are necessary to provide disposal for solid waste that cannot be recycled or incinerated, or
that exceeds the capacity of the WTE Facility. The Spokane County Regional Health District
licenses six privately owned landfills in Spokane County.
Level of Service
The minimum Regional Level of Service Standards requires solid waste services to meet all State
and Federal regulations.
Forecast of Future Needs
Spokane Valley is participating on the update of the Spokane County Waste Management Plan
(SCWMP). The SCWMP update process will determine future needs for solid waste disposal.

4.4.15 Stormwater Facilities
Stormwater runoff in Spokane Valley flows to a combination of public and private facilities. In
developed areas, runoff infiltrates into the ground or flows to drywells in public road rights-of-way,
drywells on private property and grassy swales with overflow drywells in easements on private
property.
There are advantages and disadvantages to relying on on-site facilities for all stormwater
management. One advantage is that on-site facilities are typically constructed with private funds
and can be integrated into the development as a green space amenity. However, on-site facilities
are sometimes not well maintained. Their capacity may be diminished over time or they may fail
entirely during large runoff events. On-site facilities may take up large portions of a development
site, thereby reducing the effective density that can be accommodated in that area.
In 2004, the Spokane Valley City Council created a stormwater utility to develop and maintain storm
drainage systems on City owned land. To create revenues for the stormwater utility operations, the
Council adopted an annual fee per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). Residential ERUs are based
on the number of single-family dwellings, while Commercial ERUs are based on the square footage
of impervious surface associated with a business or commercial development.
Inventory of Existing Facilities
Spokane Valley's inventory of stormwater facilities, most of which are integral to the safe function of
our street system, consists of about 7,200 drywells, 1900 bio-infiltration swales, 61 detention ponds,
and one retention pond. Other facilities include curb inlets, bridge drains, and culverts, all of which
require monitoring and maintenance. The retention pond, located at Dishman-Mica Road. and 32nd
Ave., was constructed as a part of a road project and provides a disposal point for water flowing
from Chester Creek. The inventory does not reflect stormwater structures located on private
properties that do not serve the public street drainage system.
Level of Service
The Spokane County Board of Commissioners adopted new regional level of service standards for
stormwater in 2004 as a part of the Countywide Planning Policies update:
"Flooding of property outside designated drainage-ways, defacto drainage-ways,
easements, flood zones or other approved drainage facilities, during the design
precipitation or runoff event prescribed in the standards of the governing local
agency or jurisdiction, shall be prevented within the reasonable probability afforded
by such standards. Impact to buildings and accessory structures shall be avoided to
the maximum extent practicable by evaluating the effects of a100-year rain event,
and implementing measures to ensure that the runoff attendant to such event is
directed away from such buildings and accessory structures. Any stormwater
discharge to surface or ground waters must meet federal, state and local
requirements for water quality treatment, stormwater runoff and infiltration "
The standards reflect current best practices that are established in adopted stormwater design
guidelines. Spokane Valley follows said guidelines in reviewing and approving new development
and is therefore in compliance with the regional LOS standards for stormwater runoff.
Forecast of Future Needs
Spokane Valley will continue to use private, on-site treatment facilities for new development and will
install drywells, swales and other facilities as needed for new street improvement projects.
Locations and Capacities of Future Facilities
Location and capacities of future facilities is dependent on the location and size of new
development, future public street projects, and projects that will address current problem areas
within the City. Future updates to this Capital Facilities Plan will incorporate capital programming
for stormwater facilities.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 - Capital Facilities
Page 44 of 67
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
Capital Projects and Financing Plan
The City currently charges a $21 annual stormwater utility fee per Equivalent Residential Unit
(ERU) to generate revenues for stormwater facility engineering, maintenance and administration.
The stormwater fee is expected to generate$1.8 million annually.
Transportation Facilities
Inventory of Existing Facilities
This section of the Capital Facilities Plan includes transportation facilities within Spokane Valley,
including streets, bridges, pathways and sidewalks. Street maintenance is not included as a part of
the Capital Facilities Plan.
Spokane Valley is responsible for about 455 miles of public roads, including 51 miles of Urban
Principal Arterials, 61 miles of Urban Minor Arterials, 44 miles of Urban Collectors, and 298.85
miles of Local Access Streets. Table 4.36 provides a list of all arterial intersections within Spokane
Valley.
Level of Service
Spokane Valley uses arterial intersection delay as its transportation level of service (LOS). This
LOS is based on travel delay and is expressed as letters "A"through "F", with "A" being the highest
or best travel condition and "F" being the lowest or worst condition. The lowest acceptable LOS for
signalized arterial intersections is set at "D°; the lowest acceptable LOS for un-signalized arterial
intersections is set at "E". This LOS standard conforms to the latest edition of the Highway
Capacity Manual, Special Report 209, published by the Transportation Research Board.
Table 4.36 provides a six and twenty year level of service analysis for all arterial intersections in
Spokane Valley. The analysis uses the regional transportation model prepared and maintained by
the Spokane Regional Transportation Council as its basis for forecasting future intersection
volumes, Levels of service calculations follow Highway Capacity Manual methodologies. The last
column in the table cross-references to capital projects listed in Table 4.38. These projects will
address capacity deficiencies at the corresponding intersection.

Regional Level of Service
The Countywide Planning Policies require that LOS standards be adopted in accordance with the
regional minimum level of service standards set by the Growth Management Steering Committee of
Elected Officials. The Steering Committee approved the use of corridor travel time for use in
establishing the regional transportation system.
The Spokane Regional Transportation Council is determining annual average corridor travel time
through a travel time study. This study is still in progress and corridor travel time Level of Service
standards will be adopted upon its completion.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 - Capital Facilities
Page 55 of 67
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
Uses of Level of Service Standards
As measures of transportation effectiveness, LOS standards can help jurisdictions identify where
and when transportation improvements are needed, and when development or growth will affect
system operation. Level of service provides a standard below which a transportation facility or
system is not considered adequate.
Level of service standards can be used to evaluate the impact of proposed developments on the
surrounding road system. They can also be used to identify problems, suggest remedial actions
and apportion costs between public and private sources. LOS standards are a cornerstone in the
development of equitable traffic impact fee systems, which makes development pay some of the
costs for improvements to the transportation infrastructure.
The Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) performed traffic modeling for the urban
area, considering future population growth and distribution. This model examines the performance
of the entire urban transportation system. Improvements to provide for the increased traffic
volumes shown by the model at the adopted level of service standards, are included in this plan.
More information on the transportation modeling based on future land use assumptions is contained
in Chapter 3, Transportation.
Relationship to Concurrency Management
Concurrency involves matching public facilities and new development. The concept of concurrency
predates the Growth Management Act for some public facilities, specifically through SEPA
mitigation requirements. The GMA extends concurrency to transportation facilities by requiring that
new development be served by adequate roads and public transportation service, and that
development is not permitted to cause these transportation facilities to operate below level of
service standards that are adopted by local governments in their comprehensive plans. "Adequate
capacity refers to the maintenance of concurrency" (WAC 365-195-835).
State Transportation Facilities
The Growth Management Act requires local jurisdictions to include inventory and Level of Service
information for state transportation facilities in their Comprehensive Plans. State facilities are
divided into two categories: Highways of Statewide Significance (HSS), and Regionally Significant
Highways (non-HSS). The Growth Management Act requires non-HSS facilities to be subject to
concurrency. The following table lists State highways serving Spokane County. State
Transportation Level of Service
The Washington State Department of Transportation Table 4.37 State Highways
(WSDOT) requires state transportation facilities in
urban areas (inside the UGA) to maintain a minimum Highway Description Designation
Level of Service standard "D." In rural areas 1-90 'Interstate 1HSS
(outside the UGA), the minimum LOS standard is SR-27 'Pines Road INon•HSs
"C." Those areas lying outside the UGA that may
have urban characteristics can be evaluated by the SR-290 Trent Avenue Non-HSS
WSDOT in conjunction with the City on a case-by-
case basis to determine which standard is the most .HSS=Highway of Statewide Significance
Non-HSS=Regionally Significant Highway
appropriate fit.
Intergovernmental Coordination
Transportation plans were distributed for comment to all jurisdictions that may be impacted by, or
impact, Spokane Valley's transportation system, including adjacent towns and cities, Spokane
County, Spokane Transit Authority, Washington State DOT, and Spokane Regional Transportation
Council (SRTC). SRTC has overall responsibility for intergovernmental coordination of
transportation plans. Each jurisdiction in the region must submit transportation plans to SRTC for
inclusion in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. SRTC responsibilities include: 1) Certifying the
transportation elements of comprehensive plans adopted by the County, cities and towns in the
region for consistency with the Metropolitan Transportation Plan; 2) Maintaining consistency
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 - Capital Facilities
Page 56 of 67
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
between infrastructure plans and land use development plans, and 3) Reviewing LOS thresholds
for transportation facilities in the Spokane Region.
SRTC is also responsible for monitoring and evaluating the performance of regional transportation
facilities as affected by land use and transportation improvement decisions. Concurrency
management is linked to the planning process. Any amendments to the comprehensive plans
require a concurrency management system analysis and must meet thresholds before their
adoption. SRTC will annually assess the regional transportation system with respect to regional
concurrency.
Capital Facilities Projects and Financing
Capital Projects
Table 4.38 contains a complete list of transportation related capital projects for the years 2008
through 2013, totaling over $95 million. The City updates the six year TIP throughout the year as
project priorities and funding changes. This Plan adopts by reference any updates to the TIP
occurring between Plan update cycles. The current TIP is available for viewing online at
www.spokanevalley.org. These projects address capacity issues at intersections and safety
improvements. Following is a discussion of potential funding sources.
Funding Sources
Funding for the operation and expansion of the City's transportation system falls into several
categories, which include federal, state and city funds. Some sources consist of reliable annual
funds while others are periodic, such as grants. The use, availability and applicability of these
various sources are not always at the discretion of the City. Spokane Valley will develop a track
record with funding agencies as time goes on, which will help make to make more reliable funding
assumptions.
A summary of expected federal, state and local funding sources for the City's six year Capital
Improvement Program is shown in Table 4.39. The following is a summary of transportation
funding options.
Federal Assistance
These funds are authorized under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity
Act for the 21St Century (SAFETEA-21) and are administered by the Federal Highway
Administration through Washington State Department of Transportation and the Metropolitan
Planning Organization (Spokane Regional Transportation Council). Federal funding programs
include Bridge Replacement (BR), Congestion Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) and the
Surface Transportation Program (STP).
State Assistance
The Washington State Transportation Improvement Board administers State transportation
programs, including the Urban Corridor Program (UCP), the Urban Arterial Program (UAP), and the
Sidewalk Program (SP).
City Funds
Spokane Valley contributes revenues from the General Fund and the Real Estate Excise Tax funds
for transportation projects. The City also receives State Motor Fuel Tax and Restricted State Fuel
Tax.

Potential Annexation AreaslUrban Services
The Growth Management Act requires that counties designate urban growth areas (UGAs). The City of
Spokane Valley identified lands adjacenf to the City within existing UGAs that would likely be developed
for urban uses and potentially be ar�nexed to the City. In order to assess the need for capital facilities, the
City has identified existi�g service providers wilhir� the Poter�tia! Anr�exation Areas (PAAs). This
assessment should help ider�tify the efFects a potential anr�exation area will have or� existing levels of
seivice,

The City of Spokane Valley has adopted Levels of Service {LOS) to measure a public facility or sertice's
operational characteriskics to gauge its performance. The following analysis will assess current levels of
seNice in the PAAs to provide a context of how annexation could affect the City's LOS and provide
guidance for phasing of annexations. Additionally, the analysis wElf provide Cify staff and elected officials
information to assist in the planning and budgeting of public ser�ice delivery as a result of annexation to
the City of Spokane Valley.
The following study includes LOS analysis for sanitary sewer and parks and open space, Analysis is not
provtded for services where the City has adopted the minimu�n regional LOS. Services excluded from
this anafysis are domestic water, fire protection, law enforcement, libraries, public schools, public transit,
sanitary sewer, soiid wastelrecycle, stortn wateT, street cleaning, and transportation.
If a level of service is measured on a per c.apifa basis, the population assumptions are based on Tab�e
2.1(Land Capacity Analysis) in the Land Use chapter and Spokane County's estimated current population
in the Metropolitan Llrban Growth Areas (UGAs), The Cify of Spokane Valley's land capacity analysis is
based on the adopted regional methodology,
Sanitarv Sewer
The City of Spokane Valley does not provide sanitary sewer ser�ice at #his time. Spokane County
provides wastewafer collection and transport systems within the City of Spokane Valley. Incorporated
areas �nusf have wastewater collection and franspor# sysfems in accordance with the adopted sewer
concurrency requirements, The table be�ow provides a sewer assessment within the PAAs. Level of
ser�ice is cafegorized as sewered, witY�in the 6-year sewer plan, or not planned for sewer.

Currently, Spokane Counfy awns a capacily allacation af 10 million gallons per day (mgd) in the Spakane
Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant (SAWTP). By the year 2020, the Caunty's [low is projected ta
reach 29 mgd. In 1999, Spokane County began a Wastewaker Facilities Plan process to evaluate lang-
kerm regional wastewater needs, and ko determine alternatives to meet those needs. The result was a
decision by the Board of County Commissioners fo build a new Spokane County Regianal Water
Reclamation Facilify (SCRWRF}. Spokane County is proposing to construct a new regional wastewater
freatment plant at khe Stockyards site in the City of Spokane. The new treatrnent plant and associated
facilities will provide addiEional capacily for increased wastewater flows generated by fhe County's Septic
Eliminafion Program and for projected growth in the County's service area. Many of lhe PAAs have
sewer ser�ices, however new development will continue ko add demand for new sewer services. The City
should evaluate existing sewer freatrnent c.apaciiy and infrasfructure prior to annexation.
Parks and Open Space
The City of Spokane Valley has an adopted level of service of 'i.92 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents.
In 2007, Spokane County commissioned a fESCaI study of the Urban Growth Areas (UGAs), The report
focuses on the senrices provided by Spokane County to the metropolitan UGAs and the revenue
generated for Spokane County in these areas. The report esfablished a base populat+on in the
metropolitan UGAs using 2000 Census data and building permits. The estirnated popu�ation for fhe
UGAs adjacent fo the Cify of Spokane Valley was determined to be 7,294. The City of Spokane Valley
2007 Land Quantity Ana�ysis (LQA) est+rnated the land capacity in the PAAs could potentially add 13,406
addilionaf residents. Using the populatian estimate frorn Spokane County's fiscal study and #he Cify of
Spokane Valley's estimated land capacity there is the potential of 20,700 residents at build out in the
PAAs. Currently there are no parks in fhe PAAs, If the City annexed all the PAAs 40 acres of parkland
wou�d be needed ko meet the current level of service af 1.92 acres.
According to the C�fy's Park Master Plan, rnany residents in the City of Spokane Valley are not
conveniently located near a park. 7he City's Park Masfar Plan sfates that parks should be one of the
highest priorities for the City. The pfan also states that meeting Park needs can he a challenge in
neighborhoods where little vacant land exisls. Many residents expressed a desire for sports fields
(complexas); these facilities generally require large vacant properties. The Cify should considar
purchasing parkland prior to annexation fo ensure adequate facilities will be available to serve
neighborhoods in Potenfial Annexation Areas (PAAs),

City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive P�an
;CHAPT�R 7 — ECONOMIC DEVELOPM�NT
7.0 Introduction and Puraose
A city can fosker economic de�elopment to achie�e ifs goals by anticipating and responding to
changes in the local, regional, national and international economies. For Spokane Valley, these
goals include pro�iding for economic stability through economic �i�ersity and encouraging a broad
range of jobs to help employ the community's residents.
A city's economic de�elopment actions can inclu�e acti�ities primarily directed toward economic
deve�opment and thase undertaken for other reasons, buk that also pro�uce economic benefiks.
�xamples of acti�ities primarily directed toward economic de�elopment include allocafing land for
manufacturing uses, extending water and sewer systems to business sites, pro�iding tax credits
and incenli�es, and ad�ance planning to accommodate growth. Examples of activities with
economic benefits as secondary impacts include pra�iding an efficient lransportation system,
encouraging hi�h quality schools, pro�iding for affordable housing, sfreamlining permik processes
and pro�iding park and recreation facilities and acti�ities that impro�e the quality of life.
Maricef-dri�en economic growth depends upon the decisions of individuals an� firms; most jobs and
in�eslments are generated by pri�ate businesses. Local governments must also contend wifh
forces beyond local control, such as changes in !he regional, national and internatianal economies.
These changes resulf from numerous indi�idual decisions and chan�es in economic and social
trends. However, local go�ernments can plan to#ake ad�antage of fa�orable trends and lessen the
impact of unfa�orable trends, Local �o�ernments also can hinder economic de�elopment through
ill-ad�ised policies, such as fiscal zoning which in�ol�es zoning more land than is neaded for uses
that produce relatively high Eax re�enues.
7.'f Planninq Context
7.1.'f Was�ington State Growth Management Act
The Growfh Management Act {GMA) includes economic development as one of iks basic goaEs, It
considers the need to sfimulate economic de�elopment throughout the state, bul requires fhaf these
acti�ilies be balanced with the need to protect the physical en�ironment. It encourages the efficient
use of land, the a�aiEabilify of urban services, and the financing strate�ies necessary to pay for
infrastructure. Finally, the GMA mandates that communities do their planning and then pro�i�e the
zoning and regulatory en�ironment so fhat appropriate de�elopment can occur. GMA reco�nizes
lhat while the public sector can shape and influence development, it is the private sector that
generafes communily growth.
The GMA goal regarding economic development provides:
RCW 36.70A.020(5) Economic developmenf — Encourage economic developmen�
throughouf fhe stafe that rs consisfent with adopfed comprehensive plans, promote
economic opportunity for a!! citizens of fhis state, especially for unemployed and for
disadvanfaged persons... and encourage growfh... al! within fhe capacffies of the state's
natura!resources, public services, and perblic facilrties.
The GMA requires an economic de�elopment elemenf be included in comprehensive plans
(RCW 36.70A.070 (7)), An economic de�elopment element must include the following:
e A summary of fhe local economy such as population, employment, payroll, sectors,
businesses, sales, and other information as appropriate;
• A summary of the strengths and weaknesses of lhe local economy defined as the
commercial and jndustrial sectors and supporting factors such as land use,
lransportation, utilities, education, work force, housing, and naturallcultural resources;
and,
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Update 04-27-10) Chapter 7— Economic Development
Page 'i of 24
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
• An identification of policies, programs, and projecfs to foster economic growth and
de�elopment and fo address future needs.
7.1.2 County Wide Planning Policies
The 5pokane County Wide Planning Policies (CWPPs) required by GMA (RCW 36,70A,210) and
adopted in 1994 with subsequent amendmenls in 1996, 1997 and 20�4, provide a regional
framework fo achie�e goals of the GMA, The CWP�s eslablish overa�l policy direction ti�at calls for
greater coopera#ion and coordination between the pri�ate sector and government in measuring both
the performance of fhe �ocal economy and ti�e relationship beiween economic development and
preservation of the area's natural environment and quality of life. In addifion, the CWPPs
emphasize the need for a regional (Eastern Washington and Northern Idai�o) approach to t�e
critical environmenlal issues of water and air quality; recognize the importance of central business
areas, and the benefits of locating housing and regional kransportation facilities in close proximity to
employment centers,
CW�� pertinent to the City of 5pokane Valley include:
�olicies:
1. Include an economic �evelopment element in each jurisdicfion's comprehensive plan that
establisi�es local goals, policies, objecti�es, and provisions for economic growth and�ikality
and a higi� quality of life. The element sha11 include:
a. a suminary of the local economy such as population, employment, payroll, sectors,
businesses, sales, and ofher information as appropriale;
b. a suinmary of the strengths and weaknesses of the local economy defined as the
cominercial and industrial sectors and supporting factors such as land use,
transportation, utilifies, education, work force, housing, and naturaVcultural resources;
and
c. an identification of policies, programs, and projects to foster econoinic growth and
de�elopment and to address future needs. A c9fy that has chosen to be a residential
community is exempt from the economic de�elopment eleinent requireinent of the
G MA.
2. Jurisdictions should adopt in their comprehensive plans economic developinent policies
which will help protect the en�ironment as a key economic value in the region.
4. Maintain the integrily of �owntowns (Central Business Districts) as centers for retail,
business and cultural activity.
5, �ach jurisdiction should designate sites for industrial and servtce employers to encourage
them to locate throughout urban areas in proximify to housing and regional transportation
facilities (including public transportation).

5pokane Valley is sheltered from harsh continental climate by the Cascades and Bitterrool
Mountain Ranges, and has a mild climate with four seasons, Its proximity to Idaho and the
mountains provides excellenl recreational opportunities throughouf the year. 5porlsmen apprec+ate
the opportunities for hunting and fishing within the Inland fVorthwest.
5pokane Valley is strategically located along Interstate-90 wifh an excellent transporlafion system
linking air freighf, rail and freight terminals. If has an ample supply of land designated for
commercial and industrial purposes. Plentifu! �acant and underde�eloped land is located in close
proximiiy to the scenic Spokane Ri�er. The 5pokane Industrial Park located on SR 290 (7rent
Road) houses a 325,000 square foof Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) designated by fhe U.S. Departmenf
of Commerce in November 2002 and activated in February 2004. The FTZ was allocated by lhe
5pokane International Airport System from Felts Field to its present locafion in 5pokane Valley.

FTZ beneFils importers by allowing them to defer import dulies on shipments until the cargo is
transshipped to another location within the Uniked States, or to avoid those duties when imported
freight is exported out of fhe counfry. Inland �mpire Distribution Systems (EEDS) operates fhe FTZ,
providing third party logisfics and a public warehouse. The FTZ is also the site of lhe only U.S.
Customs aufhorized Container Freight Station (CFS) whicn allows sealed in-bound containers to
clear Customs in Spokane Valley. CFS is a federal service provided to individuals and businesses
khrough the SpokanelCoeur d'Alene area, I�DS also provides the only public railroad transloader
serv+ce in the Inland Nort�west (SpokanelCbA Area) for bofh the BNSF and Union Pacific
Railroads.
Because of its locafion adjacent ko the City of Spokane, Spokane Va11ey may be eligible to seek
expansion of the Spokane Communify Empowerment Zone for qualified Census block groups,
Expansion of the Empowerment Zone will allow participating businesses ko take advan#age of sales
tax deferra�s and Washington business and occupation tax credifs in exchange for expanding the
employment opportunities available to iow and moderate income individuals residing within the
area.
A wide variety of refai� outlets provide goods for fhe region. Of major importance in Spokane Valley
are automotive and recreational vehicle sales concentrafed along Sprague Avenue at I-90. These
businesses and others in manufacturing, service, transportation, and w�ofesaleldistribution are well
represented by the �r��1�r���can�Valley C�amber of Commerce, t��� s,i�th larg,�s� el7�m�er i�s

The Spokane area hosts a number of accredited institukions of higher education including
� communily colleges, universities (bot� public and private} and private technical and business
schools. Local K-12 public and private school programs have sought par�nerships wit� these
institutions to meet the training needs of a future work force. These inslitutions, particulariy the
community college system, have been active in seeking to meet t�e re-training needs of older
workers displaced by losses of manufacturing jobs, and are recepkive to developing partnerships
wifh the local business community. Among these, the Spokane Intercollegiake Research and
Technology Institute (SIRTI) is a Washington State-funded, economic development agency thal

commercialization services aim al helping clients bring innovative technolog�es to market while
positioning them to compete globally. T�ese services include: strategic planning, market research,
business plan development, marketing, connections to technology managerial talent, and access to
funding sources, as well as providing flexible, sfafe-of-fhe-art �ncubator facilifies. SIRTI also helps
to bulld the Norfhwest's tec�nology workforce by providing paid internships to eligible students from
regional colleges and universities.

Advances in technology and local investmenf in fiber-optic cable networks represent a significant
competitive advantage in aikracting information-based business to Spokane Valley. Spokane Valley
is also the beneficiary of high quality medical facilities which serve a wide region, extending beyond
Washington. The presence of these facilities has attracted a large number of active retirees who
represent a well-educated and hig�ly-skilled resource for local employers.
Housing in the Spokane Valley is of high quality and affordable in all density ranges. Plentiful water
and power is provided by local utility purveyors at rates that are reasonable.
In add�tion to the many businesses focused on the prosperity of Spokane Valley, fhe City is
fortunate to have a large number of professional, volunteer, service and faifh-based organizations

City oF Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
7.3.2 Weaknesses
The City of Spokane Valley has yet #o establish ifs own unique identity within lhe region. The ]ack
of an identifiable city center and an overabundance of marginaE commercial centers and strip
development from an earlier era remain a part of the urban landscape, While they represenf
oppor#unities for redevelopment, they present very real challenges for economic development in the
present. The costs of redevelopment are significantly higher lhan those with new development, and
regulatory barriers of#en represent considerable obsfacles#o reinvesfinent in an aged infrastructure.
Property subdivided in the past may need to b.e reassembled to meet development objectives af a
significant cosk to the investor in both time and money,
The developmenf experience of the lask twenty years has shown fhe importance of attracting khe
proper tenant mix in a successful commercial project. To be successful today, retail devefopment
must be clean, well lit, landscaped and attractive, with convenient parking. More importantly, it
must be perceived as safe with easy access. Existing buildings and properties are offen not easily
redeveloped to meet this criferia.
La.nd development in the Spokane Valley has not had the ad�antages of urban planning af critical
periods in its development, As a result, incompafibilities exist between adjacent land uses. This
will be corrected over #ime as the City directs its own development, Development sfandards of the
past have focused on rural rather fhan the urban types of development now mandated by the
Growth Management Act. In some cases, fhe area continues to experience the effects of poor
environmental practices in the past.
As the information age advances, industrial development has moved from traditional manufacturing
activities fo business parks which combine corporate offices, call centers and electronic assembly
of parts in an officelcampus environment, Traditional warehousing has been replaced with just in
tirne" delivery and an increased dependence on efficient transportation rnovements. Business
reliance on Internet access has replaced other more traditional methods of communication and
sales, Unfor#unately, many indusfrial properties have yet to be retrofitted to different standards.
Because #he historical economic base was predicated on manufacturing, as is the case within the
entire Spokane area, the local labor force has nok always adapted quickly enough to these changes
in markef conditions. �osses in manufacturing have displaced local workers without the skills
required for work in highly technical jobs.
Spokane Valley's location, only minutes from the Idaho state line, represents a significani challenge
to local economic developrnent efforts. The many services supported by the State of Washington's
complex wage and tax struclure place business and industrial development at a competitive
disadvantage when compared with simiFar ventures in Idaho only a few miles away.
Many of these weaknesses may be more perceived than real, but all have contributed to an image
which will require time and focused community effort to correct.

development goals. 7he City will have to use ils resources in a focused and prioritized manner to
have a positive impact on khe local economic base. it will be imperative thal Spokane Valley make
strategic investments of the limited resources available and where possible, leverage resources in
cooperation with other governmental and private agencies.
Goaf EDG-1 Encourage diverse and mutually supportive business development
and the expansian and retention of existing businesses within the
City for the purpose of emphasizing economic vitality, stability and
sustainability.
