First Readin�Proposed Ordinance 12-014 Amendin� Comp Plan—Mike Basin�er After Deputy City Clerk Koudelka read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to advance Ordinance 12-014 to a second reading. Senior Planner Basinger said we received seven site-specific map amendments for this year and introduced Assistant Planner Janssen to provide an overview of the �rst four proposed amendments. CPA-01-12: Ms. Janssen explained this is a privately initiated map amendment to change from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential and a zone change to MF-2 as recommended by the Planning Commission. She said the property is located at Holland Avenue and Collins Road and the current zoning is R-3. She invited questions from Council; no questions or comments. CPA-02-12: Ms. Janssen said this is also a privately initiated map amendment to change from Low Density Residential to Mixed Use Center and a zone change to Mixed Use Center as recommended by the Planning Commission. She said the property is located just west of the corner of Flora Road and Mission Avenue and is currently zoned R-3. She invited questions from Council; no questions or comments. CPA-04-12: She said this is a privately initiated map amendment to change Low Density Residential to Neighborhood Commercial as recommended by the Planning Commission. She said this property is located on Broadway Avenue and Park Road and currently zoned as R-3. She invited questions from CounciL Councilmember Grassel asked if the property across the street is a school. Assistant Planner Janssen pointed out that Centennial Middle School play�elds are not directly across the street, but are actually west of Park Road Pool. CPA-06-12: Ms. Janssen said this is a privately initiated map amendment to change Low Density Residential to Office with a zoning change to Garden Office as recommended by the Planning Commission. She said the property is located north of Broadway Avenue on Vercler and southeast of Council Regular Meeting OS-08-2012 Page 2 of 9 Approved by Council: DRAFT Valley Hospital and is currently zoned R-3. She invited questions from Council; no questions or comments. Senior Planner Basinger said the remaining site-specific amendments are located between Conklin Road and Sullivan Road south of Broadway and gave a brief overview of each. CPA-03-12: Mr. Basinger said this is a privately initiated map amendment to change the Comprehensive Plan designation from Office to Community Commercial and a zone change to Community Commercial as recommended by the Planning Commission. He said the property is generally located on Broadway Avenue east of Moore Road and currently zoned Garden Office. He invited questions from Council; no questions or comments. CPA-OS-12: Mr. Basinger said this is a privately initiated map amendment to change from Medium Density Residential to High Density Residential. The Planning Commission recommends the change to High Density Residential and zone MF-2 with a development agreement to mitigate the impact to adjacent single-family uses. He said the property is generally located south of Broadway Avenue and west of Conklin Road and currently designated Low Density Residential and Medium Density Residential, and zoned R-3 and MF-1. He invited questions from CounciL Mayor Towey asked what the difference is between medium and high density residential. To help answer the question, Mr. Basinger discussed the history of the property. He said the property owners bought the property to develop as affordable housing and the City included a provision to allow the twelve units per acre in medium density and a density bonus that increases it up to twenty-two units per acre, which is high density residential. The owners worked to get financing for affordable housing with the density bonus but were unable to get that financing. The owners came back during this round of amendments asking for high density residential of twenty-two units per acre. Councilmember Grafos said the aoning they requested would be the same as they would be entitled to if they were building affordable housing. Mr. Basinger confirmed that if they were developing affordable housing they would be able to get density bonuses that could achieve the zoning for which they are asking. Councilmember Woodard asked for the maximum unit per acre regardless of development type. Mr. Basinger said twelve units per acre without the density bonus. Councilmember Woodard asked if the difference between MF-1 and MF-2 is double. Mr. Basinger said it would essentially allow them to double the density. Councilmember Hafner asked Mr. Basinger to explain the conditions of the development agreement the Planning Commission recommended. Mr. Basinger referenced the Planning Commission March 8 minutes, Tab 5 of their yellow book. He said, "The Planning Commission made a motion to amend th�e original motion that recommended that parcel#45133.0109. be changed to Community Commercial."He said another recommendation of the Planning Commission was "The successful negotiation of the development agreement that includes an expanded landscape buffer between the proposed development and the adjacent residences on Moore, Alki and Senora Street and appropriate restrictions on density and height to better blend the two neighborhoods." Mr. Basinger said his belief is the Planning Commission wanted an extra buffer around the perimeter of the development. He said development agreements require the City negotiate the agreement in conjunction with the Comp. Plan amendments at Council's discretion. Councilmember Woodard asked if this is when Council should consider school capacity, traffic, and other improvements needed to accommodate development. Senior Planner Basinger said they are only looking at the designation change at this stage and said there are provisions in the code and state mandates for traffic concurrency and they would need to make improvements if that is a mitigated impact. He said at this stage we can't determine where growth will occur. Councilmember Hafner asked if his question was answered regarding the development agreement and if this is passed to a second reading if that means Council approves whatever the development agreement states. Mr. Basinger said they could forward this to a second reading with the idea of entering into a development agreement or they could forward it to a second reading with the idea that our existing provisions are adequate to buffer High Density Residential to Low Density Residential. He said they would have to pull that development agreement out to work on it and that all the Comp Plan amendments have to be heard at the same time. He said the staff report included gives staff's recommendation to change to High Density Residential without the development agreement. Council Regular Meeting OS-08-2012 Page 3 of 9 Approved by Council: DRAFT Mayor Towey said if they want to change this amendment, Council would ha�e to amend the motion to set aside this amendment for further development agreement consideration and then bring it back. City Attorney Driskell said it has been the practice of the City and is consistent with state law to pull a particular CPA out of the group as it has met the state requirement of being considered as a group, but we can act on one amendment as a separate motion if needed. He said if Council is considering a development agreement they should not move this CPA forward to a second reading until they have more information,but it will still go through two readings. Councilmember Grassel asked what the Planning Commission was hoping the development agreement would state. Mr. Basinger said he thinks they wanted additional buffering between the high density residential development and the surrounding low density developments and that how that is accomplished would be up to CounciL Mr. Basinger said he advised the Planning Commission that the current code requirements have been used for many years to buffer the two uses. Councilmember Hafner said he recommends they go with what has been done in the past and in accordance with our requirements. Councilmember Grafos asked if the current motion is to approve the CPA with a development agreement. Mayor Towey said the motion is to advance the CPA without a development agreement. Councilmember Woodard asked the number of stories and setback allowed in MF-2. Mr. Basinger said MF-2 allows a fifty foot height, with no mention of number of stories, and a fifteen foot setback for front and flanking streets and five feet for side yards with �ve feet of landscaping and a six foot high sight obscuring fence. Mr. Woodard said a six foot sight obscuring fence does not screen from the second or third floors of a building. Councilmember Grafos said the height restriction in MF-1 is forty-three feet so there is a difference of just seven feet. Mr. Basinger said he believes the height restriction in MF-1 is closer to forty feet. Councilmember Grassel asked about road requirements and said this development looks like it has one exit. Mr. Basinger said the property owner intends primary access to be off Broadway but there could be access off Conklin or any other side street. He said they will have to meet transportation concurrency and they may need to make improvements based on a traffic study provided to the City by the developer. CPA-07-12: Mr. Basinger said this is a privately initiated map amendment change from Office to Community Commercial and a zone change to Community Commercial as recommended by the Planning Commission. He said the property is generally located on Broadway Avenue, west of Moore Road and east of Sullivan Road, it is currently designated Office and there are several property owners submitting the amendment under one application. He invited questions from Council; no questions or comments. CPA-08-12: Mr. Basinger said this is a City initiated text amendment to Chapter 2: Land Use, updating population estimates, Figure 21 Land Use by Comp. Plan category, revising potential annexation area language and updating Map 21 to reflect approved changes. CPA-09-12: Mr. Basinger said this is a City initiated text amendment proposing changes to Chapter 3: Transportation, deleting the non-motorized component, referencing Chapter ll: Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan, and updating Map 31. CPA-10-12: Mr. Basinger said this is a City initiated text amendment proposing changes to Chapter 4: Capital Facilities and Public Services, updating the six year TIP, population proj ections in Table 4.4, facility and service data in Tables 4.6, 4.ll, 413, 415, 4.17 and in the six year sewer CIP. CPA-11-12: Mr. Basinger said this is a City initiated text amendment proposing changes to Chapter 7: Economic Development, updating the entire chapter and Map 71 and including economic goals and policies for forecasted conditions. He invited questions from Council; no furth�er questions. Mayor Towey invited public comment Dwi�ht Hume - 9101 N. Mountain View Lane, Spokane 99218: gave a letter to Council to discuss CPA- OS-12, the Arger apartments and the CPA on Vercler near the hospitaL He said renters occupy that residence and the owner is in a nursing home and he represents the owner through the daughter who has Council Regular Meeting OS-08-2012 Page 4 of 9 Approved by Council: DRAFT power of attorney. He said the intent is to go to Garden Office and allow for additional inventory near the hospital for future of�ce or medical facility use. With regard to the apartment project, he said it has the capability of having 240 dwelling units, at two people per unit that comes to 480 people. He said the City is obligated to put 1600 new people in the city within the next twenty years and if we don't do it in high density on ten acres but instead do it in single family homes with six units per acre, it would take approximately thirty-eight acres to accommodate that growth. He said this project saves the City money because there are no additional costs for roads and infrastructure and it meets the requirements of the Comp. Plan for goals and policies. He said regarding the development agreement, testimony showed a concern by neighbors as to the encroachment and buLk and height but he said this project with parking on the perimeter places buildings further from the property line and creates a buffer and so he said the current standards are adequate. Gre� Ar�er- 300 N. Mullan Road: said he is the property owner of the proposed project relating to CPA- OS-12 and he has been a commercial developer in Spokane for thirty years. He said his company owns and operates all their projects and considered a leader with their site designs and state of the art facilities. He said originally they designed the project for HUD affordable housing consisting of about 192 units including the bonus density. They submitted for a tax-free bond for funding but were not able to achieve so they proceeded to design a luxury project requiring an MF-2 designation. He said the location supports higher density and they purchased an adjacent parcel on Broadway Avenue to make an additional entrance so it would not be necessary to enter the project from the neighborhood side streets. He said the project location is close to shopping,jobs, I-90, Sprague and Sullivan, and he said this site is considered an A site for developing. He said he would like to proceed to do the project this year. Cheryl McManamon - 504 N. Conklin: said she lives across the street from the project and has seen development such as Kohls, Lowes and Walmart that has increased the traffic in front of her house. She said she has to lock her doors because of the increase in crime in the area because of what she said she assumes to be the development of apartments down the street and she is not looking forward to more apartments across the street. She said there are no streetlights on Conklin to deter crime in the area and there are still deer and wildlife in the area that are hit by cars and she doesn't know where wildlife will go when the development comes in. She said she doesn't understand why big development is coming into the middle of a residential neighborhood and development is encroaching all around. Jan Wold - 503 N. Conklin Rd: said she doesn't want an apartment building there and said she lives on the same side of the street as the project and residents will be looking into her back yard. She said in the project they made provisions for Moore and other streets but made no provisions for Conklin. She said houses on Broadway and Conklin will be affected by noise and lights and said it was asked at a previous meeting why custom-built homes couldn't be developed in that area rather than apartments. She said the neighborhood is a combination of old and young people and farm animals are still allowed there. Cars and school buses speed down Valleyway and Conklin and she said it is scary and not safe to waLk. She says traffic will likely use Conklin to leave the project property and that means at least 400 extra cars and that affects all the people around there. She said they have invested their lives in their homes and it hurts their investment. Linda Rockhold -423 N. Conklin: said she agrees with her neighbors and she doesn't want a tall building behind her but another concern is that if traffic picks up they will have to upgrade Conklin Road. She said their front yards are not very deep so if Conklin is widened and turn lanes installed, they will not have any front yards. She said nobody wants to buy a property with a street right up to the front porch. She said her house is a big part of her retirement investment and she has invested thirty to �fty years there. She said traffic went from appro�mately 150 to 900 cars per day with the development of Walmart and Lowes. Councilmember Woodard said everybody has property rights to protect, both the current residents and the project property owners and he said he understands the investment of both. He said he doesn't know how he will vote on it but the highest and best use should probably rule, but doesn't always. Councilmember Council Regular Meeting OS-08-2012 Page 5 of 9 Approved by Council: DRAFT Grafos disclosed that the Arger's contributed to his campaign but the issue is what is reasonable for the neighborhood and he said he agrees with staff and that the buffer going from MF-1 to MF-2 is sufficient. He said he sympathizes with the homeowners on Conklin because that road will be expanded and he said he hopes added bike lanes and sidewalks will be an upgrade to homeowners. He said he thinks a developer agreement is a detriment to the project. Councilmember Grassel said moving forward to a second reading provides another opportunity for input from neighbors at the public testimony and she asked if Council would still have the option to consider a developers agreement at that time. City Manager Jackson said they would still have that option. T�ote by acclamation: In Favor: Mayor Towey, Deputy Mayor Schimmels, Councilmembers Grafos, Grassel, Hafner and Wick. Opposed: Councilmember Woodard. Motion carried. City Attorney Driskell said in moving forward and with Council approval, staff will include and identify Council �ndings stating that e�sting development regulations relating to building height, setback, fencing and current zoning elements are suf�cient so Council will see a minor revision in the draft ordinance when it comes back for a second reading. No objections fi^om Council. Mayor Towey called for a recess at 7:40 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 7:55 p.m. 3. First Readin�Proposed Ordinance 12-015, Zonin�Map Amendments—Mike Basin�er After Deputy City Clerk Koudelka read the ordinance title it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to advance Ordinance 12-01 S to a second reading. Senior Planner Basinger said this ordinance takes the site-specific map amendments that are changing the Comprehensive Plan designations and implements them into the zoning map so both are consistent. Mayor Towey invited public comment no comments offered. T�ote by acclamation: In Favor: Mayor Towey, Deputy Mayor Schimmels, Councilmembers Grafos, Grassel, Hafner and Wick. Opposed: Councilmember Woodard. Motion carried. 4. Motion Consideration: Justice Assistance Grant(JAG)—Mor�an Koudelka It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to authorize the City Manager to submit the 2012 Justice Assistance Grant Application. Senior Administrative Analyst Koudelka explained the JAG is an annual grant awarded by the Department of justice and this year's Spokane Valley allocation is $24,328. He said the grant is for criminal justice and we rely on the recommendations of Police Chief VanLeuven to identify appropriate expenditures which this year have been identified as mobile data computers at $23,381.32 and office chairs at $946.68. He said it does not require a City match of funds and if authorized by Council tonight, he will have the application submitted immediately thereafter. Mayor Towey invited public comment no comments offered. T�ote by acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:None. Motion carried PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Towey invited public comment no comments offered. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS: 5. Animal Control—Mike Jackson/Mor�an Koudelka Senior Administrative Analyst Koudelka said Council expressed the desire to look into SpokAnimal as an option for providing animal control services. He said he and City Manager Jackson visited SpokAnimal and met with Director Gail Mackey for preliminary information. He said he does not have a full comparison to SCRAPS but a report expressing SpokAnimal's desire to provide animal control services to Spokane Valley. He said SCRAPS provides services to several jurisdictions in the County and have identified that a new facility is necessary and they hope to vacate their current facility by 2013. He said they hope to �nance the cost of a new facility at $4.5 million through existing revenue sources and with City of Spokane's participation. He said SpokAnimal is a nonprofit organization that has operated for twenty-nine years offering services to Spokane for most of that time. He said SpokAnimal indicated they have the capacity to provide services to Spokane Valley and will respond to an RFP if that is Council's desire and they will provide any other information requested. He said they don't foresee any expansions in the future and they do plan to stay in the animal care business as a provider of humane services for Council Regular Meeting OS-08-2012 Page 6 of 9 Approved by Council: DRAFT animals regardless of whether they are providing animal control services. He said they are located at 710 N. Napa in Spokane, ten miles from City Hall. He said they recently acquired an adjacent property that includes an event center and Comcast provided them with new kennels, they have a full on-site clinic and they utilize 400 volunteers and inmates to provide some of their services. Councilmember Woodard asked how many kennels SpokAnimal has. Mr. Koudelka said they have fifty-two cat and fifty-two dog kennels. Mr. Koudelka then explained the capital costs for Spokane Valley for the cost of a new facility and the operating costs under the options for SCRAPS. He said Option 1 is joint ownership with the County and potentially the City of Spokane and our annual capital cost would be $66,900 and our share of the total cost is 223 percent. He said Option 2 is County ownership where the building cost is amortized over fifty years and the improvement costs are amortized over twenty years so our annual cost for years 1-20 would be $50,580 and for years 21-50 would be $10,648. Mayor Towey asked if the costs are realistic. Mr. KoudeLka said the County has indicated a ceiling of$4.5 million and the properties they are looking at are subject to negotiation, but his understanding is this is the high end and the numbers could go down. He said Option 3 is County ownership where the County pays for half of the building cost and splits the remaining building cost between Spokane County, Spokane, and Spokane Valley amortized over �fty years at a cost to Spokane Valley of 223 percent of half of the building cost and our share of improvement costs amortized over twenty years. He said our annual capital costs for years 1-20 would be just over $45,000 and for years 21-50 just over $5,000. He said Option 4a and 4b are City ownership, with 4a amortizing the cost over twenty years and 4b paying $4.5 million upfront. Mr. Koudelka said Council should draw their own conclusions,but said Option 3 is a financially favorable option for us. Mayor Towey asked if these options are assuming that the City of Spokane participates. Mr. Koudelka said that is correct. He said that our costs for animal control have been going down the last four years by about 4 percent and overall numbers are decreasing due to public education and spay and neuter vouchers. He said SCRAPS and SpokAnimal are both making efforts to reduce the feral cat population. He said the projected annual operating costs under Option 3 would be just over $242,000 and annual capital costs of $45,000 taking the total to just over $287,000 annually for years 1-20. He said the County is projecting estimates based on participation of Spokane in a regional plan and if they pull out, we would need to step back and recalculate the numbers and the County would likely do new site searches. Councilmember Grafos asked if Spokane uses SpokAnimal or SCRAPS. Mr. Koudelka said they use SpokAnimal. Councilmember Grafos asked why Spokane would be interested in going with SCRAPS and asked what our costs would be with SpokAnimal based on our usage. Mr. Koudelka said we don't know what our costs would be with SpokAnimal, he said he has run the numbers but is hesitant to throw out numbers when we haven't identified a level of service or additional economies of scale and that hasn't been provided by SpokAnimaL Councilmember Grafos said he wants to know the numbers. City Manager Jackson said we have looked at the numbers, but we need to qualify the numbers with the level of service and we will do that if it is the desire of Council. Councilmember Woodard asked if SpokAnimal has the same authority as the SCRAPS of�cers who enforce animal control ordinances. Mr. Koudelka said SRAPS officers go to two-week training provided through the state. He said they have some law enforcement capabilities allowing them to issue misdemeanor violations and they are designated a commissioned deputy with limited law enforcement capabilities. He said they don't know what SpokAnimal officers are fully able to do and that would be part of the information we need to gather, but they go to a 40-hour training provided by the Spokane Police Department. City Manager Jackson said he met with Commissioner Mielke who said they are willing to negotiate a fixed rate rather than a rate that has a settle and adjust each year. Councilmember Grassel asked why there are two entities. Mr. Koudelka said SpokAnimal started as a humane service provider, not at the impetus of Spokane, and that they did not originally intend to get into animal control service but did soon thereafter providing that service to the City of Spokane. He said the County decided to provide the services internally. He confirmed that SCRAPS is a government-run of�ce and SpokAnimal is a non-profit agency. Councilmember Grassel said she wants to tour the SpokAnimal facility and have staff look at doing our own RFP, doing an RFP jointly with Spokane, and to look at the possibility of combining the two entities to reduce cost. Mr. Koudelka said the joint entity idea was addressed with the ballot measure and his understanding is the Council Regular Meeting OS-08-2012 Page 7 of 9 Approved by Council: DRAFT board of SpokAnimal was not interested in operating jointly because their main goal and primary function is providing humane service outside of animal control. He said they are interested in providing animal control service long term if we are interested, but they feel with their available space and accommodations it doesn't make sense for them to join force with a public entity. He said they think there is enough space available to handle animals in all of Spokane County and he thinks SpokAnimal is not interested in a new facility. He said SpokAnimal recognizes SCRAPS as doing a good job and a good provider of services, but they don't understand why SCRAPS is pursuing a new facility when SpokAnimal believes there are already enough accommodations for animals in the community. Mr. KoudeLka said the County has said that staying in their current facility is not an option even if Spokane pulls out because of all the requirements necessary to stay in their current location they don't think it warrants the investment. Councilmember Hafner asked what SpokAnimal would do for business without Spokane. Mr. KoudeLka explained that animal control is not the only service that SpokAnimal provides and again said their primary function is as a humane provider just like the Humane Society that e�sts. They have a vet clinic that serves low-income people and they have a very strong adoption campaign where they send animals to different agencies throughout the state to help the animals �nd a home. SpokAnimal has stated that losing Spokane would not be a detriment to their business, they have donations and other sources of revenue to keep them operating if Spokane chooses to leave. Mayor Towey said the question is whether to continue to focus on SCRAPS or to seek other options. He said he doesn't think we can make a decision at this time without the numbers and said he thinks we need to wait to see what Spokane does because we can't compare costs without knowing what Spokane is doing. Councilmember Woodard said he agrees with the Mayor and asked Mr. Jackson if we can even go to the two entities and know what to put in the RFQ. Mr. Jackson said the County wouldn't necessarily respond to an RFP but would give us their information. He said he spoke with Gerry Gemmill at the City of Spokane who said he could talk to their Council for approval to work jointly on an RFP as an option. He said both entities would determine the qualifications and levels of service for both SCRAPS and SpokAnimal. He said that process would take at least a couple of months. Councilmember Hafner said he would like to get numbers from SpokAnimal because we can get that information now. Councilmember Grafos said the starting point is determining the level of service and then compare the two. Councilmember Wick asked if the County has a"Plan B" should this other fall through and if we can ask Commissioner Mielke to share that plan with us. Mr. Jackson said it has been discussed and if Spokane doesn't participate, the County will start over and look at the size of the facility and other aspects. Mr. Jackson asked if it is the direction of Council for staff to research both options. He said we can also ask the County to provide a draft interlocal agreement as has been provided to Spokane. No objection fi^om Council. Mr. Koudelka said that there are other things to consider beyond the financial aspect such as levels of service received and perceived, the ability to provide the service over time, and interactions between jurisdictions. He recommends that as we go forward, Council consider holding a public hearing for dialogue with all interested parties. 6. Advance A�enda—Mavor Towe� City Manager Jackson said he would like to move the stormwater projects for next week to pending, but give an update now. He said public works has completed the surveys on the swales from Park to the interchange and once we get the costs from a landscape architect we can determine how great the cost is. We won't receive a grant from the Department of Ecology until the end of June so we won't be reimbursed for money spent prior to that but depending on the cost,we may want to move forward due to a time issue. He said he will come back to Council with that information. He said they are considering adding the Appleway swales to the same contract. Mr. Grafos asked if he anticipates a problem getting the stormwater projects completed this year. Mr. Jackson said it depends on whether they move ahead using City funds that can't be recovered. He said it will be tight, but we are moving forward with the intent to complete them. Councilmember Grassel asked if it is possible to have one of the Planning Commissioners attend the meeting on May 22nd for the second reading of the Comp. Plan amendments to help answer some Council Regular Meeting OS-08-2012 Page 8 of 9 Approved by Council: DRAFT questions. She said she was disappointed with the meeting notes and thought they were slim as far as the dialogue that took place. Mr. Jackson said the best practice is to have a joint work session with the Council and the Commission and we will do a better job taking minutes. He said ideally the minutes of the Planning Commission and an explanation by staff is the best practice. He said as a practice, Council should maintain autonomy with the Commission so they feel free to make a decision that may be inconsistent with the Planning Commission recommendations. Mr. Jackson said he will provide a transcript of the notes. Mayor Towey asked that if there is a split vote, a summary of the negative vote be provided in the minutes.Mr.Jackson said we can do that. Councilmember Grafos asked that we separate street preservation projects from street maintenance projects. He said our contract with Poe is a maintenance contract and asked at what point projects go to bid for other contractors. Mr. Jackson said there are some large preservation projects included in the Poe contract that was approved by CounciL He said the money spent on Dishman and University used the money from the street fund that is part of the Poe contract. Staff will bring a list of projects to Council to discuss the projects to use the additional money that Council set aside for preservation and those projects will go to bid. He said as they draft the budget for 2013, they are considering creating a separate preservation fund to see how we spend the money and measure the impact to see how successful we are in meeting our street preservation goals. Mr. Jackson said with regard to street preservation, staff is working on signs to put at each preservation project that states "Spokane Valley Street Preservation Project, Your Tax Dollars at Work" or something in that regard so citizens can see the work that they are paying for. Councilmember Woodard asked why ADA ramps were replaced on the University Road project but not on Appleway, which were both preservation projects. Mr. Jackson said we don't necessarily upgrade every ADA ramp. He said we evaluate the ramps and consider if they are no longer in compliance with ADA rules. He said we can bring information back for discussion as to how that is determined.

BACKGROUND: The Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC 17.80.140) establishes an annual comprehensive plan amendment cycle that runs from November 2nd to November lst of the following year. The Planning Commission considers applications received prior to November 1 st in late spring of the following year, with a decision by City Council in late spring/early summer. All parts of the Comprehensive Plan can be amended during the annual cycle. The Community Development Department received seven requests for site-specific Comprehensive Plan amendments for 2012. Sites approved for a Comprehensive Plan amendment will automatically receive a zoning designation consistent with the new land use designation. The 2012 Comprehensive Plan text amendments include amendments to four Comprehensive Plan Elements: Chapter 2 - Land Use, Chapter 3 — Transportation, Chapter 4 — Capital Facilities and Public Services, and Chapter 7—Economic Development. The amendments may also entail minor changes to other elements referencing the proposed amendments. Staff presented the proposed amendments to the Planning Commission at a study session on February 9, 2012. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the amendments on February 23, 2012. The Planning Commission continued the public hearing to March 8, 2012 for further deliberations. Staff presented the proposed amendments the Ciry Council on April 24, 2012. On May 8, 2012, City Council deliberated on comprehensive plan amendments CPA-Ol- 12 through CPA-11-12. The findings in Ordinance 12-014 reflect City Councils decision to deviate from the Planning Commission's recommendation relating to CPA-OS-12. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSALS: Comprehensive plan amendment proposals are organized into individual reports consisting of application materials, staff reports, maps, and comments submitted to date to assist the City Council in their review. 1 of 2 OPTIONS: Adopt Ordinance 12-014, remand to Planning Commission for further consideration, or conduct a public hearing on proposed deviations from the Planning Commission's recommendations.

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 Planninq Context State and county land use policies provide a statutory framework for the development of City land use policies. It 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: • 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. • 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 2 RCW 36.70A.210 3 Note to reader: The following policies are numbered according to the policy number in the CWPPs, resulting in non-sequential numbering in this document. 4 RCW 36.70A.110 5 RCW 36.70A.030(17) 6 RCW 36.70A.110(3) Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2— Land Use Page 2 of 36 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 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. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2— Land Use Page 4 of 36 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 6. In conjunction with other policy topics, coordinate housing, transportation and economic development strategies to ensure that sufficient land and densities for affordable housing are provided in locations readily accessible to employment centers. 2.2 Land Use Plan . As shown in Figure 2.1 below, the majority of land is designated residential (�63%) under this Plan. Of the land designated residential, �855% is designated as Low Density Residential with densities up to six dwelling units per acre. Nearly�21% of the land area is designated as Heavy and Light Industrial. The remaining land is designated as commercial, office, mixed use or ��as+ �lisparks/open space.

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. ""��+�f�m��MultifamilV 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 retail/commercial 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 27/32�d 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+/- 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 Ilamas 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 Page 9 of 36 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 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. 2.4 Potential Annexation Areas 2.4.1 Projected Growth 4 r�r;��tivc +�c R 2�9^�'R�e��1W�t�;T,ycG^ Cn--v�c'rn�-°c�^v,f,f;v�e# Future population qrowth is forecasted at the city, state and county level by Office of Financial Manaqement (OFM).

RCW 36.70A requires that at least every ten years the incorporated and unincorporated portions of the designated ��r"�^ ^r^,•,+" ��^�°UGAs and the densities permitted therein, be reviewed and revised �Tto ensure that the UGAs are sufficient to accommodate the urban growth that is projected by OFM to occur in the county for the ��subsequent 20 year period. On June 9, 2009, the Board of County Commissioners �eSGapproved via Resolution 09-0531 a population allocation of 18,746 for Spokane Valley for planning purposes. The Citv's Land Capacity Analvsis estimated a population capacitv of 16,493 leavinq 2,253 people to be accommodated within the existinq Countv UGAs. 2.4.2 Land Capacity Analysis �The GMA�I-s�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 /ssues in Designating Urban Growth Areas Part 1-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. I Spokane Valley prepared a land capacity analysis of the city � based on the above regional methodology. —The results of the land capacity analysis are contained in the table below: Table 2.1 Spokane Valley UGA Land Capacity Analysis (updated October 2010) Vacant and Net Developable Potential New Population Area Partially Used qcres Dwelling Units Capacity Land Spokane Valley 3,314 1,370 7,412 16,493 (Incorporated Area) o�+��o+�r,., r or.J�.,�. o .,�+or�� o r+hrr,��..hr,��++ho o.,+�ro C.,r,Lo.,o r Y,i+or�� o r,I��o.J 2.4.3 Potential Annexation Areas As part of the implementation of the Growth Manaqement Act (GMA), Spokane County established the Urban Growth Area (UGA) in 2001. Land inside that boundarv is defined as urban, and must have urban densities, and land outside the UGA is to remain rural. UGAs are established bv Spokane County, in cooperation with cities and towns, to accommodate proiected population qrowth, both residential and commercial, throuqhout the Countv over the next twenty (20) years. These areas are under Spokane County's lurisdiction until they are annexed into an adiacent iurisdiction. The purpose of this section is to identify the unincorporated areas within the existing Spokane County UGA that are adjacent to the City of Spokane Valley, which would comprise potential annexation areas for the City. Map 2.2 indicates potential annexation areas (PAAs) for the City of Spokane Valley.

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 �� --a��_� policies and goals to provide policy '�;��t�'°"�'"''� ,►�� Q I� { ,,- _,,�° , guidance for annexation of territory � °'� _ '° ` �'�"_ within UGAs. Annexation will have -� �`''� financial impacts on the city; it may be - �*,-`;� positive or negative.

The Capital �:�� .. � "" �`��``�� ' � � 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 Desiqnations 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 ,� F will be strongly considered when � � developing the City's zoning map. For , , � '��'' � .� example, areas such as Rotchford Acres ,,�� ; �+�� '�`�•��` � ��; " and Ponderosa will likely require minimum :�,�-�s:,_'�'��- �.-_� ,t-�+�--;;' _ lot sizes close to an acre in size. These t r—`;.-. �� — ��r large lot developments currently allow for — f^ "-'� ' - 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 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. I 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 t The Regional Commercial � � designation encompasses two major ��.� retail areas of the City. It covers the �,�`•�� "strip" retail areas along Sprague � '��..• � Avenue which includes the =� ' ` automobile dealerships located along •�,� � ` the western end of the Sprague ,�,,4 f�1 ' � ,�,,-_�--_� '-°"� �r.�•�� Avenue corridor and the "big box" �� ` ,,,�� ,£ � retail area found in the Sullivan Road ��► - .:�,�� --• area from Sprague Avenue north to � � , -�`��` " the Interstate 90 interchange, and � , � includes the Valley Mall and Wal- � - � „ ..� 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 �- auto, pedestrian, and transit circulation. Site � �I' � I - ' � ' ;� design, modulation, and setback requirements '�� ._ � ''-< `�� ,: are also addressed. - �'�'��f� ' 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 have vast areas of pavement to store new and used vehicles for sale. These land —�---.�-:---,: �„- uses also have unique requirements for �,o�"` ' �� "` `'`'j�'* � ' '�h� �.. .:� :� ��z landscaping and signage. Unlike many , - J ° `' '6� � commercial uses whose stock in trade is ~ � . �� contained within a building, it is necessary -��=��-�. �,__ .��: for auto dealerships to have their vehicles - � 6�:,�r clearly visible from the street. This makes +. � �- -�-� traditional street side landscaping � ��'��"� �J��'� (consisting of low growing shrubs and _;� � �� ": �= �y bushes, and trees) not viable for these r,r,-, -'�,„ �� -� US2S. r - `'�'' "�;�'':�l�. �' '# An overlay designation is being suggested 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 , �t�q;'�� ,,,;,,�,�j r`° �' !� �.k F, �,� : land uses. Traditional city centers are places �'�� + .

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 distance of transit facilities will improve the viability of this significant infrastructure investment. Moreover, concentrating the highest density of development in the City Center, where a significant number of jobs and residences will be within walking distance of a transit station, helps reduce the dependency on the automobile and improves "�'�i� pedestrian mobility. The City Center emphasizes ��.- �V � �., � pedestrian, bicycle, and transit mobility but will not be a . ��'�`�* ,�.;. � � { ,•� unfriendly to the use of automobiles. i� � � "� ' �' ``� The City Center area will also be the central gathering " . �. --a; !�L -�-..,�„ �_:� place for the community — a place where the whole � �'��'� community can congregate and celebrate. Accordingly, "� F'� "� � �� ~.� - the City Center should include an outdoor square, park, �,,� . - ..- � '> � ��.•,.�-' � --�,'u;�';�--. - or commons with amenities such as fountains, . �� a"�'�Y"�`�. - ,•�� sculptures, and unique landscaping.

Additional such events �� •�� 'i` ��''a�'�` '`' throg hout the ear will enhance the feelin of - i r '"'1��' � 9 Y 9 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. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2— Land Use Page 16 of 36 � 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 trips. Special street design �:,__: _ _ standards should be developed for the ---<�-�- . '�� City Center. Special standards for - _ - extra-wide sidewalks (12 to 20 feet in ==:��.��-�-�s- width), pedestrian-scale street lighting, � �F"`,.;;,;.% and additional amenities including benches, trash receptacles, and landscaped corner treatments should be included. 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 r�.��,..? _.. sr^Y`�_.{ the timing of market projections and �� `'�--. ��Y � future actions. � �u;�� As noted above, the implementation � ,. -. �]�,f, Q,r�: ''---.� strategy is keyed to projected trends ` �`.'� and regional planning goals. Its form �i ,�� i; �, � and character, as envisioned in this �,,,�, T,,,,�� ,,,�,� Plan, are dramatically different from h1NE 7Y/yy&NY�. �'i4^''L� �•_� � ,� �,� r_ a anything that now exists in the �+ 5r°� proposed City Center area. It will ty �t6=o"�o,ea �n u.we !a take some time for the development �o�-o^ �6rr sr N� 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.

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 M ixed-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. � Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2— Land Use Page 19 of 36 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 2.5.6 Industrial Designations Providing for industrial land is important for the `.�..� ;_: �' �-n�: - �-- - - economic health of Spokane Valley. Industrial - - -- � ��t �, businesses help drive the local economy and ` ` - create an economic multiplier effect throughout the : ^' .-»� � " x° � � region.

(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 Industry areas may incorporate office and '��` -� � '' �. �., .-. commercial uses as ancillary uses within an overall � �� .;'�' plan for the industrial area.

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 Desiqn 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. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2— Land Use Page 21 of 36 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 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 � �c' _:.r.l requires owner consent, does not pose undue restrictions to the :�* s�-'� � property owner, and can be a planning tool for government by � �� r 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 '"- � �y, ,. �;.. kept confidential within the assigned office because ��'� '` archaeological sites are highly susceptible to "treasure hunters . and grave robbers." Existing lists need to be checked to confirm 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. � Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2— Land Use Page 22 of 36 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 2.8.3 Spokane Valley Historic and Cultural Resources The Spokane Valley developed as irrigated agricultural tracts in five and ten- . acre lots. The apple orchards of Otis ` � Orchards were supported by warehouses, �' �A'� '�-�� ^ packing plants, and box manufacturers. � "`� e� ' The apple industry which thrived in the �- early century was destroyed by killing � � � ,�, , frost of the 1950s. Newman Lake supplied the water that irrigated these � � 'r� �� _ orchards via the Spokane Canal , - __ � Company. The flow control gate at __ � 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 Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2— Land Use Page 23 of 36 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 18 to April 7, 2004. The majority of respondents (83%) indicated they thought Spokane Valley was 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. 2.10.1 City Center/Community Identity 144°l� ■n=�95 Citv Center.

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. LUP-1.9 Development agreements in conjunction with comprehensive plan amendments shall not be used to waive requirements associated with a proposed use. Goal LUG-2 Encourage a wide range of housing types and densities commensurate with the community's needs and preferences. Policies LUP-2.1 Allow and encourage a variety of housing types in designated Mixed-use areas, especially in the City Center area. LUP-2.2 Use design and performance standards for residential developments to achieve integration in commercial and Mixed-use developments. Performance standards should focus on scale, appearance, and compatibility. Encourage variations in facades and rooflines to add character and interest to multi-family developments.

Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 2— Land Use Page 36 of 36 � 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 Planninq 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:' 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 [itselfJ chooses to implement impact fees for schools at any future time,each school 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) 3 RCW 3670A070(6) Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation 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 & Roadwavs 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 easUwest 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. 4 23 CFR 470 Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation Page 5 of 30 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan '� ROAD RIGHT OF WAY '� �� BANE� LE LANE R� ��,4NE� L��<..�. �� }}} � .��:<_.

The system also carries important intra-urban and inter-city bus routes. Service to abutting land is subordinate to travel service to major traffic movements.5 A ROAD RIGHT OF WAY A IBiNEI LE�ANERN - �'� IBNEI SIDE�� SIDEWALK LANDSCAPING LANDSCAPING AND DRAINAGE AND DRAINAGE PRINCIPAL ARTERIAL TYPICAL SECTION - N.T.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. 5 FHWA Functional Classifications Guidelines Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation Page 6 of 30 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Table 3.1 Roadway Mileage Summary for Spokane Valley STATE CITY TOTAL Functional Class Miles % Miles % Miles % 11 Urban Interstate 10.11 2.22% 10.11 2.22% 14 Urban Principal Arterial 11.46 2.52% 29.37 6.46% 40.83 8.98 All Principal Arterials 21.57 4.74% 29.37 6.46% 50.94 11.20% 16 Urban Minor Arterial 1.60 0.35% 59.53 13.09% 61.13 13.44% All Arterials 23.17 5.10% 88.90 19.55% 112.07 24.65% 17 Urban Collector 43.81 9.63% 43.81 9.63 All Collectors 43.81 9.63% 43.81 9.63 19 Urban Local Access 298.85 65.72% 298.85 65.72% All Local Access 298.85 65.72% 298.85 65.72% Totals 23.17 5.10% 431.56 94.90% 454.73 100.00% Source: Spokane Valley Public Works Department 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 3.43 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 Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation Page 8 of 30 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan such access conform to an access management classification system.6 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 (TDM) 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. TDM 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 6 RCW 47.50,WAC 468.51 and 468.52 Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation Page 9 of 30 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 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 strateqies to accommodate the impacts of development are made concurrent with the development. These strategies may include ...demand manaqement 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 transit/HCT 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 for 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 � 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 ��a� 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 times are about 40% of free- flow speeds. E �r'�.�C.,�' 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 �-=;;'3� Arterial flow at extremely low speeds below one-third to one-quarter (1/3 — 1/4) 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.

SRTC has identified roadway segments expected to exceed 80% of volume/capacity ratio by 2025 (Table 3.3). Planning for additional capacity should be considered when traffic volumes reach this level. The SRTC Metropolitan Transportation Plan notes that intersection deficiencies impede the flow of traffic, even when sufficient capacity is otherwise available. Table 3.4 shows intersections expected to exceed 90% of capacity by 2025.

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 r Center Alternative is the development of a , �__ `,� grid street pattern within the city center. As �- ' `f'V""` the illustration indicates, a possible grid -�,____ pattern of approximately 300-400 feet would - � ' be ideal for the development of a city f��---- - �: center. ��'�� -- Pedestrian and bicycle mobility is a vital =;�.��z_-.j. 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. 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.

Special standards for extra-wide sidewalks (12 to 20 feet in �,1. width), pedestrian-scale street lighting, and additional amenities �.� ��' � L including benches, trash receptacles and landscaped corner � �`",.�i�ti , 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 Iconnections. 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: Single Units —A single vehicle including dump trucks and mixers, regardless of the number of axles. - Double Units — A two (2)-unit vehicle, normally a " truck and trailer, generally with four (4) to six (6) axles. This category is basically any truck up to 80,000 Ibs.; older double trailers can be included in �'-' this category. i Trains — Normally a tractor and two (2) trailers. Trucks rated from 80,000 Ibs. to 105,000 Ibs.; 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 throuqh 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. 3.3 Non-Motorized Transportation (See Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Element) ;�e�f�se-r�ea�;z f+ho � � „h,o,.+;"o� 4 4 � De.Je�+.'�.�,� • � , � �� Lo ��ol�� Qn .J lo ��+ h�/� ��+ p�+ l,ho+r��f�.,., fl, +ho /�.� f �TT� I OC�ClArl�O�Cl�LRTIPri OORT�CIO li�c CCIT Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation Page 15 of 30 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan � ; a�e��,�;��s ��,�be�^�s, s#�ers a�� ni�.,+�.,,.� .. o�+o� � „f ni�..o �.,.� �+�„-,��i�+o� �.�oIL�.,.. fr,r ro oo+�l,., o oll oo +r�.,o.,l,.+o+�r,., ' !'`roo+�.,.. o.Joo+r�o., o.,+ +ho - � - , e�cT��rv�� #h�np��ol�anfro�-i irti izrvc��°. �� - ._. . . . oi.Jo�.�olLo � o rr,iooi.,.. /r,r l,ho+r� .�+o.J\ r,r .�rl,00i.,..o °-� .� . �_. �ro rJiffiri il4 �4hoco fi inrtinnol rlofirionrioc hornmo 9 �'� � i�m��irm�##n�nioll�inn ��-io�Tn inrl� - - I �� f _ � � . � ,,+ I ho �r,� +� .J +hor,� + ho � .��t�r'r�� ra�vrn��r '�rm" --crtcr�. miivs�c . �_'+��,`. �� c�i�ti�7n nii#hin �nioll�inn rJic#on��o ' olhi�� . �.�� ._.�J -� y.-...' - � i r�orloc+rion o on+ m ic+ ho n mfr�r#ohlo onr! �� :i.�. �.�:..,�; ..�� - i o4�4r,on�#i�ic .:�-- .- - -- „ -.

This means that a person must be unable, due to a disability, to get to or from the bus stop, get 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.

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. 3.5 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: Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation Page 19 of 30 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Table 3.5 Spokane Airports Data % Dec-06 Dec-05 % Change YTD 2006 YTD 2005 Change Total Passengers 283,078 278,986 1.47% 3,224,423 3,197,440 0.84% Enplaned Passengers 141,283 140,147 0.81% 1,612,457 1,600,258 0.76% Deplaned Passengers 141,795 138,839 2.13% 1,611,966 1,597,182 0.93% Total Cargo(U.S Tons) 4,913.20 5,918.50 -16.99% 57,369.30 57,623.00 -0.44% Total Freight 4,891.30 5,080.10 -3.72% 49,947.50 50,459.00 -1.01% Freight On 1,970.00 2,212.10 -10.94% 20,867.20 21,768.00 -4.14% Freight Off 2,921.30 2,868.00 1.86% 29,080.30 28,691.00 1.36% Total Mail 21.9 838.4 -97.39% 7,421.80 7,164.00 3.60% MailOn 5.3 311.4 -98.30% 2,495.90 2,919.00 -14.49% MailOff 16.6 527 -96.85% 4,925.90 4,245.00 16.04% TotalOperations 7,036 6,588 6.80% 95,168 98,545 -3.43% Air Carrier Operations 3,315 3,589 -7.63% 39,539 42,081 -6.04% Air Taxi Operations 1,467 1,620 -9.44% 19,417 19,580 -0.83% Itinerant General Aviation 1,010 859 17.58% 19,419 18,958 2.43% Local General Aviation 1,168 450 159.56% 15,508 16,019 -3.19% Military Operations 76 70 8.57% 1,285 1,907 -32.62% As of September 2001, FedEx began carrying mail,which is reported as freight. Freight, mail and cargo are reported in U.S.tons Source: Spokane Airports-Updated February 5,2007 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/21 L. Information about each runway is shown in Table 3.6.

Runway 21 R 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 I 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 3R/21 L rather than a specific runway end. The Felts Field 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. � Map 3.�-4 Airport Hazards identifies regulated airspace pursuant to the Felts Field Airport Master Plan and 14 CFR Part 77 Subchapter E, Objects affecting Navigable Airspace and RCW 36.70A.510, RCW 36.70.547 within which structures exceeding specified heights and incompatible land uses may represent a threat to airport operations and the safe operation of aircraft utilizing � Felts Field.

This 42 mile ""'"�"�""" corridor presently has 72 railroad crossings (46 in Washington) with over 494 trains in operation per week. Growth in train traffic is forecast to increase annually by 3.4% over the next 20 years. Traffic accidents, traffic congestion from roadway closures, increased carbon monoxide emissions in the serious non-attainment area and noise significantly affect the economy, health, safety and general welfare of the public in Spokane and Kootenai Counties, and therefore, the Inland Northwest. The BTV project would eliminate approximately 51 at-grade crossings through closure (35 in Washington), and relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad mainline into the Burlington Northern Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3-Transportation Page 21 of 30 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Santa Fe Railway corridor. The remaining twenty-one (21) crossings are wither currently grade separated (five existing grade separations in Washington) or would be - grade separated (six in Washington) as part of this -�,�w�„��.��,. , project. This approach would concentrate public `� �' -2e - investment into eight (8) railroad grade separations within ,� ,;:s. �,r'° Washington State into one (1) corridor to cross two (2) '�"'i�• railroads rather than spread out public investment into 61 i-�� ^' railroad crossings spread across 87 miles or railroad `"5'"�"°�"`°`e' ';��, track.

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 6.1'�). 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. "Multimodal 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. Intermodal 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. Multimodal 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 LesterA. Hoel. 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.

Forty-four percent of the Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation Page 25 of 30 � City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan respondents said that the City should make this a high priority, while 22% stated that this should be a low priority for the City as indicated in the graph above. 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. 3.10 Goals and Policies Streets and Roadways Goals 8� Policies Goal TG-1 Establish appropriate design standards for transportation facilities.

Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 3—Transportation Page 30 of 30 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 Planninq 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:' 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 land 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: Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities Page 3 of 67 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan a. fire protection; b. police protection; c. parks and libraries d. libraries; e. public sewer; f. public water; g. solid waste disposal and recycling; h. transportation; i. schools.

Unincorporated urban growth areas will be provided with wastewater collection and transport systems in accordance with the requirements for sewer concurrency as set forth in Spokane County's Development Regulations. Collection systems and transport systems will be designed for peak flow conditions so that overflows, backups, and discharges from the system do not occur under normal operating situations. Specific design criteria shall conform to the requirements of the Washington State Department of Ecology and local regulations. Wastewater collection and transport systems will convey wastewater to centralized wastewater treatment facilities. Centralized wastewater treatment and effluent disposal facilities will be planned, designed, and Sanitary Sewer constructed to provide effluent that does not adversely impact the quality of surface or ground water of the State of Washington. Planning and design for wastewater treatment and effluent disposal facilities will be based on 20 year projections of population growth and current water quality criteria as established by the Washington State Department of Ecology. (Centralized wastewater treatment facilities shall be a part of a sewage system owned or operated by a city, town, municipal corporation, county, political subdivision of the state or other approved ownership consisting of a collection system and necessary trunks, pumping facilities and means of final treatment and disposal and approved or under permit from the Washington State Department of Ecology.) Transportation Maintain travel corridor time as established by Spokane Regional Transportation Council. Flooding of property outside designated drainage-ways, de-facto 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 Stormwater structures shall be avoided to the maximum extent practicable by evaluating the effects of a 100- 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. Each jurisdiction shall specify in its Comprehensive Plan a level of police protection that addresses Law Enforcement the safety of its citizens.

Each jurisdiction's street cleaning plan will describe the programs and methods to be used to reduce particulate matter emissions from paved surfaces. Each plan shall address but not be limited to the following: 1) Street Street Cleaning sweeping frequency and technology to be employed. 2) Factors for determining when and where to initiate street sweeping following a sanding event, with the goals of expeditious removal when safety and mobility requirements have been satisfied. 3) Sanding reduction goal. 4) Sanding materials specifications to be employed. 5)Locations, application rates and circumstances for use of chemical de-icers and other sanding alternatives. 6) Identification of priority roadways (over 15,000 average daily traffic count). Public Transit Jurisdictions within the Public Transit Benefit Area (PTBA)shall have policies consistent with the level of service adopted by the Spokane Transit Authority Board of Directors. Urban areas jurisdictions in excess of 5,000 population, or once a population of 5,000 persons is achieved, shall be served by Fire District with at least a(Washington Survey and Rating Bureau of Insurance Services Office)Class 6 Insurance Rating or better. For the purposes of GMA minimum Levels of Service, Class 6 or better shall be based on the ISO Grading Schedule for municipal fire protection, 1974 edition,as amended, by using the fire district, fire service communication, and fire safety control portions of the grading schedule. The total deficiency points identified in these portions of the ISO or Washington Survey and Rating Bureau schedule shall not exceed 1,830 Fire and Emergency points. All jurisdictions, regardless of size,shall ensure that new development has a Fire Flow and hydrant placement per the International Fire Code adopted by that jurisdiction. Urban areas must Services be within 5 road miles of an operating fire station that provides service with a "Class A" pumper, unless structures are equipped with fire sprinkler(s)that are rated in accordance with the edition of the International Fire Code adopted by the jurisdiction, and is located within 5 road miles of an operating fire station that provides service with a Class "A" rated pumper. Urban areas shall be served by a state certified basic life support(BLS)agency. Urban areas should be served by an operating basic life saving unit within 5 miles; and an operating advanced life support unit within 6 miles or 10 minutes response time for those jurisdictions with urban areas in excess of 5,000 in population;and basic life support and advanced life support transport service. Public Schools To be determined by individual school district CFP. 2. Each jurisdiction and other providers of public services should use compatible information technologies to monitor demand for urban governmental and regional services and the efficiency of planning and services delivery. 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. 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. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities Page 5 of 67 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 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.

Wellhead protection plans should be coordinated with water purveyors and implemented by local jurisdictions. The Steering Committee shall pursue strategies for regional (to include Idaho jurisdictions) water resource management, which sustain projected growth rates and protect the environment. 10. Each jurisdiction shall include provisions in its comprehensive plan for the distribution of essential public facilities. 13. Each jurisdiction shall plan for growth within Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) which uses land efficiency, 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 Urban Growth Area (UGA) or establish policies which direct growth 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 CWPPs "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.

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 IYear �2012 �2018 �93�2032 IPopulation �3690,110 �Z95,303 �97�94106,603 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. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities Page 12 of 67 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan The following table presents possible financial resources available to the City for capital projects. Table 4.5 Funding Resources Funding Category Funding Source General Fund(Sales Tax,fees, property tax, utility tax,etc.) Current Revenues Real Estate Excise Tax(REET) Impact Fees Non-voted General Obligation Voted General Obligation Bonds Revenue(payable from a particular utility or enterprise) Local Improvement District(Assessment Bonds) Surface Transportation Program Bridge Replacement Funds Federal Grants Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) Land and Water Conservation Fund Community Development Block Grants Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account(ALEA) Transportation Improvement Account Centennial Clean Water Fund Public Works Trust Funds State Grants/Loans Interagency for Committee for Outdoor Recreation(IAC) Arterial Street Fund(Motor Fuel Tax) Urban Arterial Trust Account(UATA) Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account Hazardous Bridge Replacement Developer Contributions Other ponations Local Improvement Districts 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. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities Page 13 of 67 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.

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 Systems r ��,�, �.` Water systems are categorized generally �F,�°�� by the number of connections served; � '� ,� �`"`� -- ' Group A systems provide service to 15 or f.., �� °��`� ��'��`��4`; more connections while Group B systems F ��:,• � �- ; � �- serve 2 to 14 connections.

A detailed inventory of -�� .,;.,L � �;� � water systems is shown below in the - -� _v'' . , inventory section. " _ �` . � - .� Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities Page 15 of 67 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 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 (RCW70.119A); 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 Service Fire protection and emergency medical services (EMS) are provided by Spokane Valley Fire - Department (SVFD) and Spokane County Fire District No. 8. SVFD serves over 90% of the 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 ��i _ � City with a full range of fire suppression and EMS �� , �� ° ��` ,��,� � ;� �" - services. Spokane Valley voters chose to annex : �: � � � �,�k into SVFD and District No. 8 in September, 2004. - -�—�� - _�� _ -"'�_ :r-- 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, District No. 8 and surrounding fire protection districts. All fire agencies have mutual aid agreements to assist each other in major emergencies. SVFD 2011 apparatus inventory includes 10 Type I Engines, 3 Type II Engines, 3 Class A pumper/ladders, three brush trucks and other miscellaneous vehicles for staff, training, rescue, maintenance, prevention and command. SVFD has ten stations, including seven within the City of Spokane Valley. Locations of the stations are as follows: Table 4.9 Spokane Valley Fire Department Station Locations Station 1� 10319 East Sprague Station 2 9111 E Frederick Station 3 2218 North Harvard Station 4 i 22406 East Wellesley Station 5" 15510 East Marietta Station 6� 6306 East Sprague Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities Page 19 of 67 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Table 4.9 Spokane Valley Fire Department Station Locations Station 7� 1121 South Evergreen Station 8' North 2110 Wilbur Station 9" East 12121 32nd Greenacres Station� East 17217 Sprague � 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. Table 4.10 Spokane Valley Fire Department City Responses 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. Capital Projects and Financing Plan Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities Page 20 of 67 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.

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 VALLEY approved annexing back into the District, with the annexation effective January 1, 2006. � o E Breadw�y Ay Inventory of Existing Facilities � ,��,�Yg,�� ES ea ueA Spokane Valley has one library located inside its � � � � � boundary, the District's Valley Branch, located at 12004 ; � _ � East Main. This resource library is the District's largest = � i � �ifitihAw facility, measuring 22,950 square feet, including branch 4� 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 32�d 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.

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.

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. IT�hle A.4R Cn4nre D�r4 Ilerr.�n.!

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. Table 4.18 Spokane Valley S.C.O.P.E stations Neighborhood Location Neighborhood Location University 10621 East 15 Trentwood 2400 N.Wilbur#79 Edgecliff 522 S.Thierman Rd. Central Valley 115 N. Evergreen Rd. 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. Locations and Capacities of Future Facilities Spokane Valley is not planning to construct any new law enforcement facilities at this time. Capital Projects and Financing Plan 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. Inventory of Existing Facilities Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities Page 27 of 67 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan The School District Map, found at the end of this Chapter, shows district boundaries and locations of all public schools within Spokane Valley. Tables 4.19 through 4.21 shows capacities of all schools located within Spokane Valley. School districts use portable classrooms at some school sites as interim measures to house students until permanent facilities can be built. Portable units are not included in capacity figures. School capacity figures are reported by the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction and are based on square footage per student.

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 Vallev 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.

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 Vallev 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 Vallev 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.

Since that time, approximatelv 25,000 residences and businesses in the qreater Spokane Vallev area have been connected to the Countv's sewer svstem. The STEP will be completed in 2012. Residences and businesses with sewer available will be required to connect to the public sewer svstem bv 2015. Upon incorporation, the Citv of Spokane Vallev entered into an interlocal aqreement qivinq Spokane Countv lead aqencv authoritv to provide sewer service. In 2009 another interlocal aqreement was adopted which established a wastewater manaaement advisorv board and qave Spokane Countv the exclusive authoritv to provide sewer service to the Citv of Spokane Vallev. Comprehensive Wastewater Manaqement Plan In 1996, the Countv adopted the 1996 Comprehensive Wastewater Manaqement Plan Update (1996 CWMP). The intent of the 1996 CWMP was to develop strateqies to expedite the sewer proqram for protection of the Aquifer, and to satisfv repulations established bv the Washinpton State Departments of Health (DOH) and Ecoloqv(DOE)and the Spokane Countv Health District. In 2001, Spokane Countv aqain updated the CWMP, which focused on reprioritizinq the remaininq STEP proiects under an accelerated construction schedule, policv updates, and addressinq conformance with the requirements of the Growth Manaqement Act (GMA). Most siqnificantiv, the CWMP updated population and wastewater flow forecasts and produced a revised Capital Improvement Proqram (CIP). Spokane Countv will update the CWMP in 2012. Spokane Vallev adopts bv reference the most current CWMP. Wastewater Facilities Plan Spokane Countv adopted a Wastewater Facilities Plan (WFP) in 2002 that identified wastewater facilities and proqrams required to meet the lonq-term wastewater treatment needs of the Countv. The WFP focuses on developinq a lona-term wastewater manaqement strateqv for the Countv. The WFP provides an in-depth analvsis of various wastewater treatment technoloqies available, in addition to explorinq the wide ranqe of related environmental considerations. Public participation was fullv inteqrated into this extensive planninq effort. The WFP was updated in 2006, 2007. It was approved bv the Department of Ecoloqv in 2008. The Plan was aqain updated in 2010. This Plan is in its implementation phase, with the recent completion and start-up of a new repional water reclamation facilitv. Spokane Vallev adopts bv reference the most current WFP. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities Page 39 of 67 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Wastewater Treatment In 1980, Spokane Countv and the Citv of Spokane siqned an interlocal aqreement wherein the Countv aqreed to purchase ten million qallons per dav (mqd)of capacitv in the Citv's Riverside Park Water Reclamation Facilitv (RPWRF). Spokane Countv is currentiv usinq approximatelv 3 MGD of this capacitv, as a result of the new Spokane Countv Reqional Water Reclamation Facilitv (SCRWRF)cominq on line recentiv. Wastewater from the Citv of Spokane Vallev is now conveved throuqh Spokane Countv's sewer svstem to the recentiv completed SCRWRF. This facilitv is at the old Stockvards site north of I-90 and east of Freva. The SCRWRF has a capacitv of 8 million qallons per dav (MGD) and produces effluent meetinq Class A Reclaimed Water Standards prior to discharqe into the Spokane River. In the future, when the flow from the Spokane Valley area exceeds 8 MGD, the additional flow will be directed to the Citv of Spokane Riverside Park Water Reclamation Facilitv (RPWRF) for treatment and discharqe into the Spokane River, until the capacitv of the SCRWRF is expanded. The site will support expansion of the SCRWRF up to 24 MGD in 4 MGD increments. The SCRWRF was desiqned and constructed bv CH2M Hill, pursuant to a "Desiqn-Build-Operate" contract with Spokane Countv. The contract provides for up to 20 vears of facilitv operation bv CH2M Hill. Inventory of Existinq Facilities Sewer facilities within Spokane Vallev are a svstem of pipes and pumpinq stations that move untreated sewaqe to two main interceptor lines. The interceptors are known as the Spokane Vallev Interceptor (SVI) and North Vallev Interceptor (NVI). These interceptors then convev the sewaqe to the Countv's SCRWRF throuph pumpinp stations or to the Citv's RPWRF bv pravitv flow. Maior elements are summarized as follows: Interceptor Sewers: 32 Miles Maior Pump Stations: 6 Collector Lines: 455 Miles Local Pump Stations: 10 Level of Service The Reqional Minimum Level of Service Standards state that incorporated areas will be provided with wastewater collection and transport svstems in accordance with the adopted sewer concurrencv requirements of the iurisdiction. Spokane Vallev requires all new development to be served with public sewer. Onlv existina residential, commercial and industrial lots mav be served bv septic svstems/drain fields (approved bv the Spokane Countv Health District) and onlv if public sewer is unavailable. Forecast of Future Needs Spokane Countv currentiv has about 37,500 customers within its sewer svstem area. Since some customers qenerate more flow than others, it is common to define an Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) as a wav to proiect future flows and to set the sewer service rates. Spokane Countv assiqns one ERU to each 800 cubic feet of water use per month, or about 200 qallons per dav. The 37,500 customers account for about 52,900 ERU's, based on an averaqe of 1.41 ERU's per account. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities Page 40 of 67 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan The followinq table shows that there are about 24,800 accounts within the Citv of Spokane Vallev, representinq approximatelv 71% of the Countv's total ERU's.

Anticipated prowth in the number of accounts for the Spokane Countv sewer svstem overall is reflected bv the followinq proiections: YEAR No. of Accounts No. of ERUs 2012 38,900 54,800 2013 40,500 57,100 2014 42,100 59,400 Locations and Capacities of Future Facilities Sewer Construction The Countv's Septic Tank Elimination Proqram (STEP)will be completed in the late sprinq of 2012. The purpose of the STEP is to expedite the construction of sanitarv sewers and dramaticallv reduce the number of on-site sewaqe treatment facilities over the Spokane-Rathdrum Aquifer; and to satisfv repulations established bv the State Departments of Heath and Ecolopv, Spokane Countv Health District and other requlatorv aqencies. The Sewer Proiects Map found at the end of this chapter shows the areas where sewer has been extended as a qart of the STEP proqram. The industrial area in the far northeast corner of the Citv currentiv does not have public sewer service. To encouraqe economic develoqment and iob creation, Spokane Vallev mav consider proiects that would extend public sewer to this area. New Wastewater Treatment Plant The Spokane Countv Water Reclamation Facilitv (SCRWRF) was completed in 2011. The new plant has a current capacitv of 8 MGD. It is proiected that this capacitv will last until approximatelv 2030. Additional phases will likelv be made in 4 MGD increments. The SCRWRF site can be expanded to 24 MGD to accommodate up to 50-vears of anticipated future qrowth. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities Page 41 of 67 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Capital Proiects and Financinq Plan Wastewater Treatment Spokane Countv has proqrammed capital expenditures for its share of upqradinq the Citv of Spokane Riverside Park Water Reclamation Facilitv(RPWRF)for the vears 2011-2016, per the Six- Year Sewer Construction Capital Improvement Proqram. The upqrades must be undertaken to meet State and Federal effluent qualitv requirements. In 2011, Spokane Countv completed Phase 1 of the SCRWRF at a cost of$173 million. Phase 2 is estimated at$42 million (in 2011 dollars)for an additional 4 MGD of capacitv. Spokane Vallev adopts bv reference the most current Spokane Countv Six-Year Sewer Construction Capital Improvement Proqram. Sewer Construction The Sewer Prolects Map, as presented in the County's Six-Year Sewer Construction Capital Improvement Proqram, shows the location of the sewer proiects planned in the Spokane Vallev, both inside and outside the Citv boundarv. Note that no specific new proiects are currentiv planned, due to the completion of the Septic Tank Elimination Proqram in earlv 2012. Spokane Vallev will continue to support the replacement of septic svstems with public sewers and will consider the feasibilitv of extendinq public sewer to currentiv un-served commercial and industrial areas to encourape economic development and iob creation. 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. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities Page 42 of 67 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Locations and Capacities of Future Facilities The updated Spokane County Solid Waste Management Plan will provide information on future regional solid waste facilities. Finance Plan The updated Spokane County Solid Waste Management plan will include a financing plan for future regional solid waste facilities. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-26-2011) Chapter 4 -Capital Facilities Page 43 of 67 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 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 32�d 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 fi^om 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.

Appleway Extension project, but analysis was not completed due to uncertainty of ROW ��Improvement options are still under evaluation BTV: Bridging the Valley 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 i-go Interstate Hss (outside the UGA), the minimum LOS standard is "C." Those areas lying outside the UGA that may sR-2� Pines Road Non-HSS 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). Citv 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.

The City of Spokane Valley identified lands adjacent to the City within existing UGAs that would likely be developed for urban uses and potentially be annexed to the City. In order to assess the need for capital facilities, the City has identified existing service providers within the Potential Annexation Areas (PAAs). This assessment should help identify the effects a potential annexation area will have on existing levels of service.

The following analysis will assess current levels of service 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 will provide City staff and elected officials information to assist in the planning and budgeting of public service 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 provided for services where the City has adopted the minimum regional LOS. Services excluded from this analysis are domestic water, fire protection, law enforcement, libraries, public schools, public transit, sanitary sewer, solid waste/recycle, storm water, street cleaning, and transportation. If a level of service is measured on a per capita basis, the population assumptions are based on Table 2.1(Land Capacity Analysis) in the Land Use chapter and Spokane County's estimated current population in the Metropolitan Urban Growth Areas (UGAs). The City 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 service at this time. Spokane County provides wastewater collection and transport systems within the City of Spokane Valley. Incorporated areas must have wastewater collection and transport systems in accordance with the adopted sewer concurrency requirements. The table below provides a sewer assessment within the PAAs. Level of service is categorized as sewered, within the 6-year sewer plan, or not planned for sewer.

By the year 2020, the County's flow is projected to reach 21 mgd. In 1999, Spokane County began a Wastewater Facilities Plan process to evaluate long- term regional wastewater needs, and to determine alternatives to meet those needs. The result was a decision by the Board of County Commissioners to build a new Spokane County Regional Water Reclamation Facility (SCRWRF). Spokane County is proposing to construct a new regional wastewater treatment plant at the Stockyards site in the City of Spokane. The new treatment plant and associated facilities will provide additional capacity for increased wastewater flows generated by the County's Septic Elimination Program and for projected growth in the County's service area. Many of the PAAs have sewer services, however new development will continue to add demand for new sewer services. The City should evaluate existing sewer treatment capacity and infrastructure prior to annexation. Parks and Open Space The City of Spokane Valley has an adopted level of service of 1.92 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. In 2007, Spokane County commissioned a fiscal study of the Urban Growth Areas (UGAs). The report focuses on the services provided by Spokane County to the metropolitan UGAs and the revenue generated for Spokane County in these areas. The report established a base population in the metropolitan UGAs using 2000 Census data and building permits. The estimated population for the UGAs adjacent to the City of Spokane Valley was determined to be 7,294. The City of Spokane Valley 2007 Land Quantity Analysis (LQA) estimated the land capacity in the PAAs could potentially add 13,406 additional residents. Using the population estimate from Spokane County's fiscal study and the City 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 the PAAs. If the City annexed all the PAAs 40 acres of parkland would be needed to meet the current level of service of 1.92 acres. According to the City's Park Master Plan, many residents in the City of Spokane Valley are not conveniently located near a park. The City's Park Master Plan states that parks should be one of the highest priorities for the City. The plan also states that meeting Park needs can be a challenge in neighborhoods where little vacant land exists. Many residents expressed a desire for sports fields (complexes); these facilities generally require large vacant properties. The City should consider purchasing parkland prior to annexation to ensure adequate facilities will be available to serve neighborhoods in Potential Annexation Areas (PAAs).

For Spokane Valley, these goals include providing for economic stability through economic diversity and encouraging a broad range ofjobs to help employ the community's residents. A city's economic development actions can include activities primarily directed toward economic development and those undertaken for other reasons, but that also produce economic benefits. Examples of activities primarily directed toward economic development include allocating land for manufacturing uses, extending water and sewer systems to business sites, providing tax credits and incentives, and advance planning to accommodate growth. Examples of activities with economic benefits as secondary impacts include providing an efficient transportation system, encouraging high quality schools, providing for affordable housing, streamlining permit processes and providing park and recreation facilities and activities that improve the quality of life. Market-driven economic growth depends upon the decisions of individuals and firms; mostjobs and investments are generated by private businesses. Local governments must also contend with forces beyond local control, such as changes in the regional, national and international economies. These changes result from numerous individual decisions and changes in economic and social trends. However, local governments can plan to take advantage of favorable trends and lessen the impact of unfavorable trends. Local governments also can hinder economic development through ill-advised policies, such as fiscal zoning which involves zoning more land than is needed for uses that produce relatively high tax revenues. 7.1 Planninq Context 7.1.1 Washington State Growth Management Act The Growth Management Act (GMA) includes economic development as one of its basic goals. It considers the need to stimulate economic development throughout the state, but requires that these activities be balanced with the need to protect the physical environment. It encourages the efficient use of land, the availability of urban services, and the financing strategies necessary to pay for infrastructure. Finally, the GMA mandates that communities do their planning and then provide the zoning and regulatory environment so that appropriate development can occur. GMA recognizes that while the public sector can shape and influence development, it is the private sector that generates community growth. The GMA goal regarding economic development provides: RCW 36.70A.020(5) Economic development — Encourage economic development throughout the state that is consistent with adopted comprehensive plans, promote economic opportunity for all citizens of this state, especially for unemployed and for disadvantaged persons... and encourage growth... all within the capacities of the state's natural resources, public services, and public facilities. The GMA requires an economic development element be included in comprehensive plans (RCW 36.70A.070 (7)). An economic development element must include the following: • A summary of the local economy such as population, employment, payroll, sectors, businesses, sales, and other information as appropriate; • A summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the local economy defined as the commercial and industrial sectors and supporting factors such as land use, transportation, utilities, education, work force, housing, and natural/cultural resources; and, Adopted April 25, 2006 (Update 04-27-10) Chapter 7— Economic Development Page 1 of 24 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan • An identification of policies, programs, and projects to foster economic growth and development and to address future needs. 7.1.2 County Wide Planning Policies The Spokane County Wide Planning Policies (CWPPs) required by GMA (RCW 36.70A.210) and adopted in 1994 with subsequent amendments in 1996, 1997 and 2004, provide a regional framework to achieve goals of the GMA. The CWPPs establish overall policy direction that calls for greater cooperation and coordination between the private sector and government in measuring both the performance of the local economy and the relationship between economic development and preservation of the area's natural environment and quality of life. In addition, the CWPPs emphasize the need for a regional (Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho) approach to the critical environmental issues of water and air quality; recognize the importance of central business areas, and the benefits of locating housing and regional transportation facilities in close proximity to employment centers. CWPP pertinent to the City of Spokane Valley include: � Policies: 1. Include an economic development element in each jurisdiction's comprehensive plan that establishes local goals, policies, objectives, and provisions for economic growth and vitality and a high quality of life. The element shall include: a. a summary of the local economy such as population, employment, payroll, sectors, businesses, sales, and other information as appropriate; b. a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the local economy defined as the commercial and industrial sectors and supporting factors such as land use, transportation, utilities, education, work force, housing, and natural/cultural resources; and c. an identification of policies, programs, and projects to foster economic growth and development and to address future needs. A city that has chosen to be a residential community is exempt from the economic development element requirement of the GMA. 2. Jurisdictions should adopt in their comprehensive plans economic development policies which will help protect the environment as a key economic value in the region. 4. Maintain the integrity of downtowns (Central Business Districts) as centers for retail, business and cultural activity. 5. Each jurisdiction should designate sites for industrial and service employers to encourage them to locate throughout urban areas in proximity to housing and regional transportation facilities (including public transportation). 7.2 Summary of Local Economy Economic data, including employment information, is collected by the State of Washington at both the County level and for the Spokane Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Table 7.1 summarizes �9�9�2011 employment data in the Spokane MSA in comparison with the state of Washington. o • ;n o n�,,,,.,,o.,+ ,.,;+h n ann n �h� From September 2009 to September 2010, Spokane County posted the larqest employment loss amonq larqe counties in Washinqton State, down 1.7 percent.

Its proximity to Idaho and the mountains provides excellent recreational opportunities throughout the year. Sportsmen appreciate the opportunities for hunting and fishing within the Inland Northwest. Spokane Valley is strategically located along Interstate-90 with an excellent transportation system linking air freight, rail and freight terminals. It has an ample supply of land designated for commercial and industrial purposes. Plentiful vacant and underdeveloped land is located in close proximity to the scenic Spokane River. The Spokane Industrial Park located on SR 290 (Trent Road) houses a 325,000 square foot Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) designated by the U.S. Department of Commerce in November 2002 and activated in February 2004. The FTZ was allocated by the Spokane International Airport System from Felts Field to its present location in Spokane Valley. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Update 04-27-10) Chapter 7— Economic Development Page 17 of 24 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan FTZ benefits importers by allowing them to defer import duties on shipments until the cargo is transshipped to another location within the United States, or to avoid those duties when imported freight is exported out of the country. Inland Empire Distribution Systems (IEDS) operates the FTZ, providing third party logistics and a public warehouse. The FTZ is also the site of the only U.S. Customs authorized Container Freight Station (CFS) which allows sealed in-bound containers to clear Customs in Spokane Valley. CFS is a federal service provided to individuals and businesses through the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area. IEDS also provides the only public railroad transloader service in the Inland Northwest (Spokane/CDA Area) for both the BNSF and Union Pacific Railroads. Because of its location adjacent to the City of Spokane, Spokane Valley may be eligible to seek expansion of the Spokane Community Empowerment Zone for qualified Census block groups. Expansion of the Empowerment Zone will allow participating businesses to take advantage of sales tax deferrals and Washington business and occupation tax credits in exchange for expanding the employment opportunities available to low and moderate income individuals residing within the area. A wide variety of retail outlets provide goods for the region. Of major importance in Spokane Valley are automotive and recreational vehicle sales concentrated along Sprague Avenue at I-90. These businesses and others in manufacturing, service, transportation, and wholesale/distribution are well represented by the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce, the sixth larqest chamber in the State of Washinqton, which boasts over �8�900 members. (Greater Spokane Vallev Chamber 2010 Annual Report) The Spokane area hosts a number of accredited institutions of higher education including community colleges, universities (both public and private) and private technical and business schools. Local K-12 public and private school programs have sought partnerships with these institutions to meet the training needs of a future work force. These institutions, particularly the community college system, have been active in seeking to meet the re-training needs of older workers displaced by losses of manufacturing jobs, and are receptive to developing partnerships with the local business community. Among these, the Spokane Intercollegiate Research and Technology Institute (SIRTI) is a Washington State-funded, economic development agency that advances the growth of emerging technology companies in the Inland Northwest. SIRTI's commercialization services aim at helping clients bring innovative technologies to market while positioning them to compete globally. These 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, state-of-the-art incubator facilities. SIRTI also helps to build the Northwest's technology workforce by providing paid internships to eligible students from regional colleges and universities. The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is a cooperative effort between Washington State University and the US Small Business Administration. Counselors provide one-on-one, confidential assistance at no charge for management and technical business affairs, such as start, purchase or the sale of a business, choosing and incorporating new technology, financial management, business plan development, market plan development, and business research. In 2010, small businesses in Washinqton State saw their sales decrease an averaqe of one percent. However, clients who worked with SBDC advisors saw their sales increase an averaqe of nearlv four percent. (SBDG 2011) Advances in technology and local investment in fiber-optic cable networks represent a significant competitive advantage in attracting 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 highly-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 addition to the many businesses focused on the prosperity of Spokane Valley, the City is fortunate to have a large number of professional, volunteer, service and faith-based organizations Adopted April 25, 2006 (Update 04-27-10) Chapter 7— Economic Development Page 18 of 24 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan committed to community development and improvement. Citizens are engaged in the development of the new city and have dedicated countless hours to developing ideas which would promote economic development and job creation. Another important piece of the regional economic development picture is Greater Spokane Inc. (formerlv Spokane Area Economic Development Council). ��p^��Aa-ea €s�o no"o�„nrr,on+ �„��n�;� Since 1974, Greater S okane Inc. GSI has established a proven track record, strong leadership, and solid industry expertise as "the starting � poinY' for regionally focused economic development. The role of GSI t#��is to implement a business-focused strategy that proactively promotes Spokane's business identity, facilitates job growth and business expansion, and leverages available resources to provide effective solutions. While organized as an independent not-for-profit corporation funded by both public and private Ientities, #�e GSI c^^��^� �r�� n� works collaboratively with key partners across the region. Spokane Neighborhood Action Programs (SNAP) provides programs to empower low income individuals and families with opportunities promoting financial independence. The SNAP Economic Development programs offer financial tools and education to promote sound money management and investment in assets, including business ownership, home ownership, higher education and transportation. The MicroEnterprise Development Program is operated by SNAP, along with public and private partners, to help qualified individuals develop a business plan, acquire capital and start or expand a business. Perhaps the most important aspect of economic development is the Citv's continuinq efforts to streamline the permittinq process and to ensure requlations are fair and predictable for businesses. Efficient permittinq processes are a kev factor for companies searchinq for suitable locations to build or expand their business operations. In order to remain competitive, the City must continually evaluate its permittinq process to ensure a timelv and predictable outcome. Requlations must also be continuallv monitored and amended as necessarv to make sure the City is not undulv burdeninq businesses. _� Adopted April 25, 2006 (Update 04-27-10) Chapter 7— Economic Development Page 19 of 24 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 7.3.2 Weaknesses The City of Spokane Valley has yet to establish its own unique identity within the region. The lack of an identifiable city center and an overabundance of marginal commercial centers and strip development from an earlier era remain a part of the urban landscape. While they represent opportunities for redevelopment, they present very real challenges for economic development in the present. The costs of redevelopment are significantly higher than those with new development, and regulatory barriers often represent considerable obstacles to reinvestment in an aged infrastructure. Property subdivided in the past may need to be reassembled to meet development objectives at a significant cost to the investor in both time and money. The development experience of the last twenty years has shown the importance of attracting the proper tenant mix in a successful commercial project. To be successful today, retail development 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 often not easily redeveloped to meet this criteria. Land development in the Spokane Valley has not had the advantages of urban planning at critical periods in its development. As a result, incompatibilities exist between adjacent land uses. This will be corrected over time as the City directs its own development. Development standards of the past have focused on rural rather than the urban types of development now mandated by the Growth Management Act. In some cases, the 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 to business parks which combine corporate offices, call centers and electronic assembly of parts in an office/campus environment. Traditional warehousing has been replaced with "just in time" delivery and an increased dependence on efficient transportation movements. Business reliance on Internet access has replaced other more traditional methods of communication and sales. Unfortunately, many industrial properties have yet to be retrofitted to different standards. Because the historical economic base was predicated on manufacturing, as is the case within the entire Spokane area, the local labor force has not always adapted quickly enough to these changes in market conditions. Losses 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 significant challenge to local economic development efforts. The many services supported by the State of Washington's complex wage and tax structure place business and industrial development at a competitive disadvantage when compared with similar 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. 7 A Cr�r�iv��e//�.-,.�,le..�.��.

Adopted April 25, 2006 (Update 04-27-10) Chapter 7— Economic Development Page 24 of 24 Spokane Valley Planning Commission Transcript of Approved Minutes Council Chambers — City Hall, 11707 E. Sprague Ave. February 16, 2012 L TRANSCRIl'T OF COMMISSION BUSINESS A. New Business: Study Session 2012 Annual Comprehensive Plan amendments Mike Basinger: Comprehensive Plan amendments are generally published in the City's official newspaper, hung on the City's official notice board, that is the library, CenterPlace and both our Permit Center and up front. We also send out notice to all the agencies or organizations of interest. Ultimately what happens is then dockets develop so that people come in and might have interest in changing certain parts of the Comprehensive Plan, or Planning Commission, City Council, department heads may approach us with potential changes to City CounciL We take that to City Council and the Ciry Council approves the docket. That docket guides us for the amendments we can approve that year. The purpose of the docket is that one, we are able to determine is this a reasonable workload for staff to accomplish; two, is Council in line with the docket because then we can establish a work program. (At this point Mike Basinger makes reference to the PowerPoint on the screen) As you can see there are various things I have around the graphic. The internal for instance is the City's capital improvement program. That is a really important part of our Comprehensive Plan. You will notice that we have quite a few changes in the capital facilities chapter this year. Most of those come to us from service providers, and some come from Public Works, the Transportation Improvement Program, which by state law we are required to make sure is incorporated into our capital facilities plan. There are also things like sewer portion of our capital facilities plan has been completely stripped out and redone. We coordinated with Spokane County because it was not depictive of anything that was going on in our city at this time. You will notice that most of our Ciry has been sewered. If you look at the old capital facilities plan that was in there for sewering, you will notice that there were a lot of projects in there that have already been accomplished. This is what we do with the TIP and the capital facilities part. Then we have our private site specific map amendments and any other various things that may come up throughout the year. Is there any question on the docket, I think it is a really important piece, we haven't always touched on each year. Then I would like to cover the annual amendment process. The GMA stipulates that the Comp Plan can only be reviewed once a year. The Ciry's deadline for applications is November 1. Ciry Council makes the final decision on all Comp Plan amendments. Appeals are heard by the Growth Management Hearings Board, a special board that reviews appeals that are associated with the Comprehensive Plan. Approved site specific map amendments, we have seven this year, are consistent with the designation change. So, we do not make the applicant go through a separate process to rezone their properties. When we change the designation in the Comprehensive Plan, we automatically zone it consistent with that change. If the Planning Commission deems necessary, we do have a deliberation date reserved for March 8�. This year, as I said the Ciry received seven privately initiated site specific map amendments. At this point, Christina will provide an over view of four of those amendments. Christina Janssen: good evening, as Mike said I will be taking you though the first four of our site specific map amendments. Numerically, I will be covering CPA-01, 02, 04 and 06. 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 1 of 16 Numerically they are out of order a little bit, but geographically it will make a little bit of sense. CPA-Ol-12 — This is a privately initiated map amendment. The applicants are Scott and Sarah Creighton. Request to change from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential. The map on the screen shows you the location of the property. The location of the property is located generally at the corner of Collins and Olive. Just for reference, Pines would be right out here to the west of our subject property. Currently there is a duplex on the subject property. Here are some of the existing land uses in the area located around the subject property. Condos are located directly north of the property, northeast of the property and directly east of the property we have some multifamily duplex situation going on. The Comprehensive Plan designation on the property is currently low density residential. There is some high density residential and then some office out here on Pines. John Carroll: Is that right-of-way a dead end? Christina Janssen: This? John Carroll: Yea Christina Janssen: it comes through to here, up here, it actually dead-ends to gravel, dedicated right-of-way but not improved. Currently zoning is R-3, you can see it is surrounded by R-3. Down here you can see we have some MF-2, which is the desired designation. Again the request is from Low Density Residential with a minimum lot size of 7500 sf per dwelling unit, to requested MF-2 zoning designation with a minimum lot size of 2000 sf per dwelling unit. Are there any questions about this one? Marcia Sands: so it is not a legal non-conforming use at this time, it is a conforming use because it has a duplex on it? Christina Janssen: correct Marcia Sands: so they would be able to, if it was made MF-2 it would have, it could be segregated into two lots. If it is 7500 s£, if it is 8000 sf then it could be segregated into four lots, right? Christina Janssen: I can tell you that the existing lot size is 11995 sf. At a potential of 2000 per dwelling until we are looking at a potential of five dwelling units there. Marcia Sands: thank you Bill Bates: Is there a discrepancy in the square footage? In the application it says there is a difference in, in a letter there is a, to specify the exact square footage? Christina Janssen: I don't know the answer to that and I apologize. My calculations are based on what the tax assessor has that their lot size is 11995 s£ So they would be allowed, as it sits right now to have five dwelling units. We do have a process that they could go through that 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 16 would potentially allow six dwelling units but that is an application process that they would have to pursue. Joe Stoy: Christine, with the project on Olive, where is the current building setback, because isn't that going to encroach into that 2000 sf? Christina Janssen: I don't understand the question Joe Stoy: there is setback off of Olive, right Christina Janssen: correct, it would be 20 feet. I am sorry, that is not correct. Marcia Sands: I believe they are both the same sf per setback Although there is a difference in building height. R-3, MF-2, R-3 is 35 foot building height restriction and MF-2 is a 50 foot height restriction. Christina Janssen: the front setback in MF-2 is 15 feet, for a dwelling and 20 feet for a garage. Mike Basinger: Just so you know, when we are doing these changes we are just asking for if it is appropriate for it to be high density residential or not. When they come in for a permit we will make sure they meet the development standards that are associated with the property. The applicant is quite aware of what he can do with the property if it goes to MF-2. He is proposing to add a unit. He certainly could do that. The idea is that we make sure they meet the development standard when he comes in for an application. The question is, is this appropriate for another parcel to be designated high densiry residential in this area. Marcia Sands: in my opinion, wouldn't the height and coverage affect the neighbors some? So that is something we need to take into account in whether or not to change the Comp Plan amendment on this or the Comp Plan designation? Mike Basinger: that is certainly true, I think that the limitations based on the lot size what the applicant can actually do with the property, it is not very large. That limitation itself constrains him to likely doing something similar to what he has going on there, I am thinking. John Carroll: Christina, do you have any history on the parcels west of that applicant, how they got to be MF-2? Christina Janssen: I am not personally aware Mike Basinger: I do know that when we are going through our Comprehensive Planning process we took the properties that were designated UR-22 in the County and re-designated them as MF- 2, which is a similar zoning. So it is a process that it went through at the County and I am not sure exactly how it got there. John Carroll: Is it characteristic of the neighborhood changing in that direction? 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 16 Christina Janssen: I think there seems to be in the photos that we, you can see here that under construction there is some more multifamily going in in that area. There is also a newer single family subdivision in the area as well and that would be right along here. Any other questions about this one before we move on? Marcia Sands: just looking at the R-4 designation, wouldn't that be more appropriate? I know you didn't create this Comp Plan request, but it seems that would serve the same purpose? Mike Basinger: I think that when they come in with the site specific map amendments they tell us what they want to purpose and he definitely wanted the MF-2 designation as his proposed use. Marcia Sands: ok, thank you. Christina Janssen: just as a follow-up to that question, the applicant has indicated he would like to place one more unit on that lot, and the R-4 designation would not allow that. The minimum lot for a multifamily dwelling unit there is 5000 sf. per dwelling unit and with a lot that is 11995 sf he already has two and he would like a third. Alright CPA-02-12 is a privately initiated map amendment. The applicant is Monty Lewis. This amendment would go from a designation of Low Density Residential to Mixed Use Center. The vicinity map shows the location of the property just west of the intersection of Flora Rd and where the new Indiana Parkway meets Mission Rd. there. Here are some photos of the subject property. Currently there is a single family residence on the property and as well as a greenhouse operation. Some photos from the site and just looking at the surroundings, you can see here this would be the Indiana Parkway heading out to Sullivan and this is Mission Rd heading out toward Flora. Currently the Comprehensive Plan designation on the property is Low Density Residential and is zoned R-3. The request is to change the Comp Plan designation and the zoning designation to Mixed Use Center. All of this Low Density Residential and all of this purple down here is Mixed Use Center. Again the zoning designation on the property is R-3, to the north and to the south Mixed Use Center. Questions about this one? John Carroll: what is on the property to the east? Christina Janssen: Here? Single family residential. John Carroll: A single family residence, does it face Mission or Flora? Christina Janssen: Mission, I am sorry Flora. Any more questions about that one? Ok, CPA- 04-12 again privately initiated amendment, Ibrahim Farraj is the applicant, he is requesting a change from low Density Residential to Neighborhood CommerciaL I would just like to point out there was a typo in the information that was included in your packet. The correct address for this project is 805 N Park, not the 923 that was listed in the packet of information. The location of the parcel as you can see here by the vicinity map is actually the northwest corner of Park Rd and Broadway Ave. Those were my typos and I apologize for that. So you have Park Rd, Broadway and this is the 7-11, I am sure you are familiar with that intersection. Along with the Park Rd. Pool here. This is some photos of the property as you can see there is a small single family residence on the property which has been vacant for quite some time. This was shot from 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 16 just south of the property across the intersection there. The house, though you can't see it, is right back here. This is an example of some of the businesses that are in the area. Again, the 7-11 directly kitry-corner across the intersection, then directly south we have this industrial supply business. Marcia Sands: did we do the southeast corner last year? John Carroll: it was the northeast corner. Christina Janssen: It was two years ago actually that we changed that one. What we have is a combination of low density residential, you can see by this one that we have considerable low density residentiaL We have a lot of land that is zoned industrial. And then this one that we changed a couple of years ago to neighborhood commercial and then the 7-11 which is also neighborhood commercial. And the rest of this is low density residential. Marcia Sands: and what are they asking to change this to? Christina Janssen: They are requesting to go to the neighborhood commercial, zoning on the property is R-3 and there is a significant amount of R-4 here, the neighborhood commercial here, industrial here, R-3 and R-4. Questions about this one? Boy you guys are easy tonight. John Carroll: You are doing an excellent job. Christina Janssen: ok, so the last one that I am going to look at before I hand it back over to Mike is CPA-06-12 once again privately initiated. The proposed amendment is requesting a change from Low Densiry Residential to Office. This is our vicinity map, this is Vercler, Broadway Ave would be right down here, to give you a reference point, this is Valley Medical Center. This is a picture of the property as it currently sits, there is a single family residence and I believe two detached buildings back here. Directly north of our properry is another piece of land that is zoned office. John Carroll: We just changed that one too, didn't we? Christina Janssen: We have some residential uses to the south and east. This is looking northwest, it is a vacant piece of property that is owned by the hospital. And then just another office uses to the north. The designation on the property is low density residential, we can see there is low densiry residential to the south and a significant number of properties zoned office to the north. The zoning designation is currently R-3, the request would be a zoning designation to garden office. These are zoned garden office, these are zoned office and then we have the SFR down here, R-3. Questions about that one? Ok, then with that I am going to hand it back over to Mike and he is going to go over the rest of the site specific and the text amendments. Mike Basinger: We purposely structured these so we could talk more of a geographic orientation. You will see that the next amendments I am going to be talking about are all in the same area. I thought it might be prudent to talk about them all at once because it does identify that there is quite a bit of change going on in this area. So the remaining site specific map 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 16 amendments are off of Conklin Rd and Sullivan Rd. and Broadway Ave. The first one is CPA- 03-12. Again it is a privately initiated map amendment submitted by Sunrise LLC. They are requesting a change from office to community commercial. The property is generally located along Broadway east of Moore Rd. Currently two of the parcels are single family residential and the third is vacant land. Looking north from the proposed amendment are large box retail uses, Kohl's, Lowes and Walmart. Currently the site is designated office; the applicant is proposing the site to go to community commercial designation. You will notice that there is some medium residential to the south of this amendment that we will be looking at. There are some offices just to the west. There are also some proposed some amendments to the west that we will be looking at except for this large parcel here they asked not be to included at this time. And then you have primarily low density residential down here to the south and then to the north we have a regional designation. MARCIA SANDS: What about all of these low density residential people along Alki. Mike Basinger: Along Moore Rd. There is lots of low density residential also as well. So as you can see here on the zoning map the property here along Moore Rd. is designated R-4, which is being within our low density residential category. This property is currently designated MF-1. We also have garden office over here. Then we have regional commercial designation to the north. Then we have R-3 over here and low density residential property. Any questions on this one? Marcia Sands: now this is a comp plan amendment in the communiry commercial comp plan. What is the zoning designation would that be? Mike Basinger: Now the implementing zone would be community commercial and community commercial is meant to offer a variety of retail uses. It is currently in a state where it is meant to offer office uses. It has been a mix of uses for some time. They have been trying to do something with the property for some time, but it just doesn't seem to be marketable across the street from the large box retail. So they are asking to go to a designation that they feel will be more marketable. Before I move on, I do want to say that this area, we have looked at it quite a bit in the past and have considered doing a subarea plan in this area, looking at maybe an overlay or something different in this area but we knew this area was changing and has been changing for years. It is something that folks are coming in and asking us to change it, because it is not working for them and this is why I wanted to lump them all together. Scott Kuhta: Scott Kuhta Planning Manager, I was just going to add that these small parcels along Broadway are just difficult to develop just by their size and I think we mentioned at the last meeting that on the office parcels they often locate on the larger parcels because of the development density in order to get the two story and they need a lot of parking typically. It makes these parcels challenging. They don't want to do single family looking out at a Lowes or Home Depot, or Lowes and Walmart or Kohl's, and have all that traffic by them so seem to want to be single family anymore and office doesn't seem to be working so that is why, this is just a challenging spot, that is what we are looking at. 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 6 of 16 Bill Bates: Just for clarification, the difference between community commercial and regional commercial is size and the draw of the business. So across the street is regional commercial in that area so why didn't they ask for regional commercial. Mike Basinger: The idea with regional commercial is that it is indicative of your big box rype uses, a good example of regional commercial with large parcels would be Auto Row where we have large lots with car dealerships. Community Commercial is supposed to be uses that serve the community. For example the medium density residential, if it was built out, from the day, the services that would take care of that. That is the reason we don't want the regional commercial to creep into the neighborhood. It is not necessarily an appropriate use to keep going south with. Scott Kuhta: just an add on to that Mr. Chair, Scott Kuhta here. If you look at the uses that are allowed in communiry commercial as opposed to those in regional commercial there are a few that are pretty high intensity that we would be concerned about the compatibility with because you know there is residential on the other side you are surrounded by. The one that comes to mind is a contractor's yard, is probably in regional commercial, landscape supplies, you can see those open bark/sand kind of things. You can look at the list and compare on your own but you get the idea. Mike Basinger: if you don't have any more questions I will move on. Joe Stoy: Aren't we creating an island then? Mike Basinger: No. Joe Stoy: Because we have R-4 to the west, we got R-3 to the east and then MF to the south then all of the sudden we got 31ots of community commercial? Mike Basinger: The idea of an island is that you would have a pocket of say, commercial in the middle of nowhere, nowhere near any other commerciaL It is adj acent to regional commercial, it is just across the street. It is just, as Scott said, that community commercial uses are a bit more compatible with the neighborhood to the south. John Carroll: it has more transitional characteristics. Scott Kuhta: In the comprehensive plan we have criteria for changing would be adjacent to something of equal or higher intensiry so that's one of the things we look at that is a specific criteria when we get the change or proposal comes before us. John Carroll: aren't we ultimately looking at the long term change in characteristics down through there ultimately anyway? Mike Basinger: Yes, but we have not actually been tasked to do something with this area, going out to the public, or researching what is most appropriate but we know it is not working the way that it stands. So some folks think they have some ideas about how they think it might work 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 7 of 16 better. We have worked with them a little bit. We feel that community commercial would be appropriate for those three parcels. Marcia Sands: there is quite a bit of traffic impact on that portion of Broadway with all those big box stores across the street. Mike Basinger: Broadway is a good arterial that has been improved and has quite a bit of capaciry. Bill Bates: Mike you mention community commercial, aren't one of these going to change to high density residential? Mike Basinger: yes,just south and we will get to that next. But I am glad you brought it up, it is important. Joe Stoy: yea, because don't they have they directly to the east as their approach from Broadway? Mike Basinger: yes. I am glad we are asking a bunch of questions. Because it is important to get the questions out there before we get to the public hearing. So that we all have a really good understanding of what is before us. So please if you have any questions, ask away. Go to the next, ok So, CPA-OS-12 is a privately initiated map amendment submitted by Land Use Solutions and Entitlement. They are proposing to change the comprehensive plan designation from MDR to HDR. Basically medium density residential to high density residential. The property again is located just south of Broadway and just west of Conklin. Currently the property is 10.6 acres of undeveloped land. It does include the little pieces to the north and it also includes 68 feet of this parcel here. This amendment is surrounded by single family uses with large box retail located farther north. These are some photos the way the property looks today. You can kind of envision the way it used to look some time aga I took a snapshot of the little piece right here, that is this piece here. I should note that this piece right here is what connects this property to a higher designation. It connects it to the regional commercial uses that are across the street. I believe they would be proposing access on to Broadway. I spoke to our traffic engineer and she said that would be appropriate with Broadway having plenty of capacity. I actually carry that out that question. Currently the site is designated medium density residentiaL If you look, we have already mentioned regional commercial to the north. If you don't mind it is exactly the same as we talked about on the other slides. We have office uses to the west, regional commercial to the north. This is a snapshot of the zoning. Is there any question about this particular amendment. John Carroll: if we were considering extending the neighborhood commercial in east along Broadway, that little strip of high density residential would not impede the neighbor commercial from going on down toward the east? Mike Basinger: I believe they intend on using that parcel as an access. No it would not impede the designation from making its way down if that is what was appropriate. Across the street is regional commercial by the way, and that is still touching and that is adjacent and so that is adjacent to a higher use. If that was your question. 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 8 of 16 Bill Bates: Mike, in such a large area, utilities is not a problem, water. All these things appropriate for that large or high intensity. Mike Basinger: All services are available to that site for development. Bill Bates: One other quick thing. MF-2 Zoning it talks about common open spaces and recreation amenities. Can you explain that to me? Mike Basinger: We do require open spaces with this type of development. So the folks that are living, if this was an apartment complex, just like we would, will have a place to hang out and play,in our yards in SFR homes. I believe that is what they are speaking to. Rustin Hall: Mike, one question, I think we can pretty easily tell to the east the smaller lots to the east that connect the little sliver which would be the entrance to Broadway, we can see those over time, disappearing. What is your feeling on all the single family along Moore, I have not looked at this yet, is it established neighborhood? Is it going to stay that way? We are surrounding it on both sides, do you have a concern about that? Mike Basinger: I think it is a fairly established SFR development, it is not that old. I think that the area itself, is fairly unique, you generally don't find large parcels like this located near services, near an arterial, near transportation. I think that would stay there over time, the SFR in between, we do have development regulations and standards that would require buffering and such. John Carroll: I do go by there and that is a good neighborhood, in that area. Conklin is more likely to change much quicker. Rustin Hall: I need to go out there and take a look. Mike Basinger: CPA-07-12 is a privately initiated map amendment. It was submitted by Robert Stagger, he is proposing to change the comp plan designation from Office to Communiry Commercial. The property is again generally located along Broadway Ave.,just west of Moore Rd and just west of Sullivan Rd. Currently 3 of the parcels are SFR and the fourth is a church. Initially we had one person come in for a comp plan amendment, then we had another person in the same area come in for a comp plan amendment. Then they started talking to their neighbors and the rest of them wanted to come in for a comp plan amendment. I advised them to submit together rather than individually pay two thousand dollars. So he got authorization to represent their interests, in changing this. Just so you know how this came together. Joe Stoy: Isn't that the parking lot for the church? Mike Basinger: Which part of it, I am sorry commissioner Stoy? Joe Stoy: the part that is adjacent to Broadway. 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 9 of 16 Mike Basinger: Yes, it certainly is. John Carroll: the other part is too, the south part of it is as well, don't they also have an access that goes down to Valleyway? Mike Basinger: they own these two lots as well. John Carroll: But they didn't Mike Basinger: We really didn't think it was appropriate to go all the way down. We thought it was a fairly logical extension of this regional hub here to include this into a community commercial designation but we didn't think we should keep going south. The church will continue to operate as a church they just wanted to have the same opportunities that the properties may have to the east. It made sense to us for them all to come in together, rather than have a sliver of office in between the community commercial designation. They tried to get this person to come in as well, they weren't interested. I will continue. This gives you a snapshot of what is out there. I know most of you have been out to the site. You will notice these houses are not in any shape to be used, one of them is boarded up, the other one, the gentleman's parents have moved on to an assisted living complex. So they are no longer living in it. So they are not being utilized as they should, there is a mattress being dumped on this one, as Scott mentioned, SFR across from large box is not very functional. They haven't been able to market their properties in office, so again, they are proposing to go to community commercial. (Mike is now making mention of pictures on the screen) As I mentioned we talked about the comprehensive plan designations in this area, this is where the community commercial comes down in this area. This is a good example of why we don't do regional commercial across the street, in response to a question earlier. As you notice here, we have pretty much stopped the regional commercial here and started doing community commercial here, we really believe that RC is for those large box retail uses that serve the region like Walmart serves a very large geographical area, so does the Kohl's, so does the Lowes. People will travel quite a ways to go to those large box retail uses. We believe these are more community serving, obviously people who would get off I-90 might use these uses as well, but it doesn't keep going south. These uses are really serving the Ciry of Spokane Valley, not the region. That is why we cut it off here at Broadway. Here is the zoning designations. All of the parcels are currently zoned Garden Office. Community Commercial with the implementing zone for Community Commercial, and Regional commercial for RC. Any questions? Bill Bates: Just one Mike. According to the applicant's information, the total area is approximately 6 acres and it lists four different parcels there; is it 4 and in fact is it more than 6 acres? Mike Basinger: it is 4 parcels and when you are looking at the application, it is the original application that Mr. Steiger submitted, then he came in with the proper authorization to represent the others, and I put the total of all those parcels. I have information that they don't have and so I put the total in. Bill Bates: so it is all four parcels? 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 10 of 16 Mike Basinger: yes John CarrolL• I have a question out of curiosity. That parcel south of the HD, is that really a land locked parcel there. Mike Basinger: yes it is. I believe that is a piece of an old railroad right-of-way. We have run into things like that. A lot of times, the water district, we have all kinds of slivers, some of them are at the back of properties and owners have always asked can we have that property. It is a sliver that is left. Joe Stoy: I bet if you extend that line out it would hit that old concrete trestle at the edge of the freeway. Mike Basinger: I can certainly research that if you would like. In closing there is some need and desire to change this area. It is evident that there is some SFR in the area. I am sure you will be hearing from some of the neighbors. They will be interested in coming in and talking to you about that,primarily the proposed HDR property, but that is something the commission will have to consider. Would you like me to move on to the text amendments? So now we are getting into the text amendments which were all approved by city council for us to look at. CPA-09-12, these are amendments to Chapter 3, ops I am sorry, CPA-08-12, proposes amendments to Chapter 2, Land Use. Table 2.1 has been updated to reflect new population numbers for the city, and we use those for our capital facilities planning. A good example of that is our parks planning. The reason why I use the parks, is it is one of the things that we use the population for. We say we will have 1.29 acres of parks per thousand people in our level of service standards in our comp plan. We get these numbers, these estimates, from the Office of Financial Management, and we play them out. You will see that in the capital facilities program when we get there. I will play out that number through the years for the 6 years we are supposed to plan for by state law. Then you get a picture of how much park land we need over the course of those years. Now if it is not realistic, then the commissioners have the opportunity to recommend a different level of service for parks. Council would then have an opportunity to decide of lower level of service for parks. That is just an example of how that number is used. Please if at any time there is a question, please just stop me and ask it. Bill Bates: Mike, one thing about parks. As a city, aren't we behind quite a bit as ciry allocated square footage? Mike Basinger: We are a little behind but what is interesting is that we went backward with the Census update, which is the official population number for the city. Every year OFM tries to estimate what our population is for the city. With the 2010 update we actually lost population. We got closer to meeting our level of service. Marcia Sands:just curious, what was the level of decrease? Mike Basinger: it was very, very minor. I could show you the exact numbers but OFM did a pretty good job of estimating, how is that? Again, 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 11 of 16 Marcia Sands: l, 2, 3%? Mike Basinger: I don't know but I can certainly find out for you. Marcia Sands:just curious, because I look at those all over the state all the time. Mike Basinger: I find it pretty interesting. Scott Kuhta: I thought I might add, Scott Kuhta over here, OFM is the office of financial management it is a state agency and what they do is update the population counts every year. That is important because they use those population figures for funding for various programs. The more population you have, the more funding you get through state grants and state allocations. That is why they do that every year. Mike Basinger: figure 2.1 is comprehensive land use plan category. It was updated to reflect the city's allocation of property by land use. What I ended up doing there is, in the past, if I go too far with these things just stop me, if we go back to this slide. See how right-of-way is taken out of all these designations. We were calculating it with the right-of-way in, so we were using our comp plan with right-of-way included. So we are going from here to here (addressing a slide) and the right-of-way is part of the comp plan designation. What I did was I took the right- of-way out. It is actually more accurate of the land we have designated within each category. This is why that particular figure changed. You will note that in the staff report how that changed. We also revised the potential annexation area language. Potential annexation areas are the areas that are adjacent to our city which are within the Urban Growth Area. We are actually going through an Urban Growth Area update right now. Two of our councilmembers sit on the committee and are helping us review that, Mr. Hafner and Mr. Grafos. We also will update map 2.1 if in fact city council approves any of the proposed designation changes that we just went through, Christina and I, so that is why that is in there. It shows you where those are on that map. That is all we had in Chapter 2—Land Use. Are there any questions. CPA-09-12 proposes amendments to Chapter 3, Transportation. John Carroll: Mike can we back up a minute. I know when we are putting in for Urban growth area. We take and add up our land and then take out that part which we deem non-marketable. Have you calculated that amount somewhere? Mike Basinger: I have all those numbers if anyone is interested. They are not updated in this particular since they haven't changed since the last time we went through that process. So what you see in the plan is where we are at. John Carroll: so we spell all of that out in the comp plan? Mike Basinger: we do in fact. John Carroll: do you know which chapter? 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 12 of 16 Mike Basinger: I think it is in the capital facilities plan or the land use chapter. I will certainly identify those for you. We did go through that entire process, but we didn't change those numbers this year. John Carroll: but the percentages you have allocated in this chart, wouldn't they be affected by that? But if we declare LDR but it is non-marketable, why would we count that in there? Mike Basinger: we count all of our property that is designated in terms of identifying how much LDR is designated in our city, whether it is being utilized or not. It is designated that. We would not take it out because it is not marketable. John Carroll: rights-of-way isn't marketable are they? Mike Basinger: Right-of-way is not counted in the land capacity analysis. If we ever want to have a special session on land quantity analysis, I would be happy to bring that forward. It is a very complicated subject that we work on, it is done in a GIS application, it is my baby. I would be happy to bring that forward sometime. If the planning commission would.... John Carroll: but doesn't that really affect the developers when they are looking for land and how much they can build on? Mike Basinger: I am missing the..... John Carroll: it is non-marketable, it is actually taken out. It is not developable, correct. That is why we call it non-marketable, so they don't count it as marketable land that is why we have urban growth areas. Scott Kuhta: You are talking about just the part that shows all of our LDR, MDR, HDR.... That is the gross not including right-of-way just because we took those out. That information is not, we are not trying to say that is the capacity that we have for growth in that chart. This is just saying that is how much land we have in each category throughout the city. Mike was just making it consistent with the zoning and saying right-of-way were just not going to include in that gross number. Now the land capacity analysis, that is a lot of analysis and that is important for developers. They are very interested in that number to see how much land we have in the region that is available for growth. In a quick nutshell, what that does is they look for vacant land, per land use category. We look at partially used land per land use category. We total that up, we take out a factor for infrastructure, we take out a factor for land we know just would not be available for development over the next 20 years, then we come up with a number, so many acres per land use category. Basically what we are trying to get at is how much land can our current city limits accommodate based on all of these calculations. As Mike said it is very complicated and we need to have more detailed time and information if you really want to understand that whole process more. But it's really not related to the charts we are updating. Mike Basinger: to further answer your question, we take out critical areas, any kind of critical areas, any type of right-of-way, like we just saw in the last graphic. Anything like that is 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 13 of 16 automatically taken out when we do our land capaciry analysis. We go a lot further than that. We're not trying to count any land that we don't perceive as developable. John Carroll: My general thought was if you look at your chart, it says half of our land is designated LDR. Let's say 98% of that is non-marketable but happens to fall into that category. That really reduces that number significantly. Mike Basinger: it doesn't for what we are trying to predict John Carroll: but it would in fact really reduce it Mike Basinger: it could. Most of it is already developed. Any more questions? CPA-09-12 proposes amendments to Chapter 3 Transportation. We updated map 3.1 the Arterial Street Plan, that was to display the reclassification of 4� Ave east of Sullivan and Conklin south of Sprague Ave. That went from a local access street to an urban collector. The other thing we did in this chapter, as you recall we did a Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan last year. We reference in Chapter 3 non-motorized transportation. What we did was we struck all of the references and told everyone to go to the new Chapter 11 Bike and Pedestrian Plan that we would like you to find that information in. We just struck the language that was duplicated. The reference to Chapter 11 the Bike and Pedestrian element. Really not a lot going on in this particular amendment, just wanted to update a few things. I will also note that we removed map 3.2 and reorganized our maps accordingly. Any questions on text amendments in this chapter CPA-10-12 proposes amendments to Chapter 4, Capital Facilities and public services. We took the 6-year TIl', that is the 6-year Transportation Improvement Program that Public Works puts together and we incorporated it into our capital facilities plan. You will notice all of the tables that were struck out, and then replaced, we are now going from 2012 up 6 years with our transportation improvement program. We also updated special purpose districts, service provider data,primarily that was the sewer section. We worked with Spokane Counry to do that. We also included projects for the use of the Real Estate Excise Tax. If we don't identify in our comp plan how we are going to utilize REET funding, we are not able to use it. So the transportation improvement program is referenced in our comp plan. Any of public works projects would likely be eligible for REET funding. We also make sure we meet with the Public Works Director to make sure if there are any special projects that city council might want to do and might want to use REET funding for, so we look at that every year as well. We updated Map 4.5, that basically identifies infrastructure so you will see there is a lot of areas that have been sewered in the city. There are few that are left and that is just to identify their 6 year construction for their capital improvement program. We updated growth assumptions to reflect the OFM latest population estimate. That is basically what we did in our capital facilities and public service chapter. We are slowly trying to go through the capital facilities plan and reference more of our service providers capital improvement plans. As you know, we contract for many of our services and service providers provide a lot of our services, like Fire District 1, the Library District, many water districts, and so we are trying to reference their capital facilities plans so we are not constantly out of date. That is what I am striving for with that sewer update in particular. If there are not any questions on that. 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 14 of 16 CPA-11-12 we made some updates to Chapter 7 the Economic Development chapter. Map 7.1 displays all the new building and land use actions in the 2011 development cycle. (Map up on the board) There is stuff littered all over this map, and you will say, did we really have this much activity? This could be someone coming in for a permit for plumbing or a roof. We just like to show this is the activity in our city. You will also notice that last year we had a big rezone throughout the City. Everyone knows what that rezone was, it was Sprague and Appleway Subarea Plan. It went back to our previous designation. We also looked at employment statistics, wages and employment forecasts, permit activiry and other economic data and updated them. This was at the request of city council. They are looking at economic development and they wanted those figures to be updated to reflect what is actually going on with our community. So that was at the request of city counciL We also update economic goals and policies,just to make sure they address the economic conditions of today. That is what we did in CPA11-12. Any questions. Joe Stoy: Mike, because we are creating a new chapter 11, would that not be part of this process? Mike Basinger: It isn't because it went in there last year. As soon as ciry council adopted the Bike and Pedestrian program, even though it was out of sync with this process, it was a subarea plan. The only thing we can handle out of sequence is subarea type plans and you will remember that with the Sprague and Appleway Plan, same type of deal. Marcia Sands: there is a little red symbol on Map 7.1, that isn't defined, I am just a little curious as to what that is. It is similar in size to the residential Mike Basinger: it is supposed to be a commercial permit. Bill Bates: Mike, that is just for last year? Mike Basinger: yes, Bill Bates: Blue represents residential, (correct) that many Mike Basinger: again it can be a really simple thing that comes into the ciry. some day how many people come in and request something. We try to get all of them on there. Bill Bates: is this part of a new computerized system then Mike Basinger: it isn't but our new system, the nice thing about it is that it should be able to spit the new information out to me much more efficiently. We can still get it out of the old system, but what we do is called geocoding and we can geocode the address we say it came in to this address, find it for us on the map. Make a point and say it was a residential permit. The new system went, is going on line this week, we are all still a little bit intimidated but it bodes well that it will have a lot of functionality. Scott Kuhta: going live tomorrow. 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 15 of 16 John Carroll: Mr. Chair I have one. On page 19 of 24 in chapter 7, another important piece of the economic development, about the 9�' line it says the role of GSI is to implement a business focus strategy that proactively promotes Spokane's business identity - I would hope that it actively promotes Spokane Valley's business identiry. Scott Kuhta: could you tell me the page? John Carroll: page 19 of 24 Marcia Sands: isn't that because it is the Greater Spokane Economic Development John Carroll: It should be Spokane or Spokane Valley, but it says Spokane's Scott Kuhta: where is that exactly, John Carroll: the 9th line, from the top Bill Bates: I agree with John, we pay dearly to GSI every year. Scott Kuhta: we can say the Spokane Region, we will just make sure we remember that. We will make a note. Mike Basinger: good catch Commissioner Carroll John Carroll: thank you. Bill Bates: thank you very much Mike, and Christine, a lot of work you did. A lot of it sounds like to me updating numbers and bringing maps up to date and things like that. This is a massive project. So notice has been given and a public hearing next Thursday, and the following if we need it. Scott Kuhta: I would be ready for quite a few folks testifying, sounds like we are getting a moderate amount of interest in some of these so, so be ready for a fairly long night I would imagine. Bill Bates: ok so we will have to determine if we can do it all in one sitting or leave the hearing open. Mike Basinger: to be specific about the types of comments that we have been receiving, it has been in regards to the MDR going to HDR. The big property ... Bill Bates: up on Broadway, yes, yes. Thank you very much. Anything else. Scott Kuhta: don't forget joint meeting on Tuesday with the city council at 6:00. 02-16-12 Planning Commission Minutes Page 16 of 16 Spokane Valley Planning Commission Trcznscript of Minutes Council Chambers — City Hall, 11707 E. Sprague Ave. March 8, 2012 I. COMMISSION BUSINESS Unfinished Business: Deliberations 2012 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Sr. Planner Mike Basinger made a short recap of the 2012 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment public hearing. February 23. Planning Commission made recommendations on CPA-01-12 through CPA-11-12 excluding CPA-OS-12 as you recall CPA-OS-12 was a private initiated map amendment submitted by land use solutions and entitlement and they were proposing to change the comp plan designation from medium densiry residential to high density residential. The property is located south of Broadway and west of Conklin Rd. 10 and half acres in size. The proposed amendment is surrounded by single family uses and there's large box retail to the north. The site is currently zoned MF-1. Applicants propose to go to MF-2. MF-1 allows 12 units per acre. MF-2 allows 22 per acre. Through the course of now and the last public hearing we received some information. That information was provided by via e-mail. This was related to the developer's agreement and some city standards particular landscaping and such. I wanted to quickly go over the development agreement. Summary of what the city did enter into with a similar project located in a different area in our city. First of all development agreement had 120 foot wide limited densiry area. On the eastern portion of this properry it had a 120 ft buffer area that they had specific restrictions that they entered into the ciry council into a development agreement. Those restrictions said that in that 120 ft area they're limited to medium residential or MF-1 Zoning, 12 Units per acre. There's also limited development within that area to a height of the R-3 Zone which is the surrounding residential Zoning essentially that was 35 ft. They also said there would be no multifamily buildings located within 30 ft, so within that 120 ft area, 40 ft of it (they said) there would be no multifamily building would be located. All of this development was located adjacent to Shelly Lake subdivision essentially. And also they recommend that there be a 10 ft buffer. Our code requires a 5 ft buffering; they require a 10 ft buffer with type 1 plantings. If we were to proceed with high density element today, we would require type 1 landscaping and buffering in a 5 ft buffer, not a 10 ft buffer. So that was the difference. Now I wanted to point out that every development agreement is unique. And that this particular development agreement does not necessarily apply to the proposal that's before you. But it just gives you an indication of the types of things that can be done to help mitigate impact to surrounding residential properties with a development like this. Pd like to open this up for any questions regarding the development agreement or any questions about our regulations that are currently in place. Mr. Stoy: Mike, on that height requirement 35 ft., is that to the eve of the building or is that to the midline of the sloped roof? Mike: In our code the standard is to the eve of the building to the ground. Planning Commission Minutes Page 1 of 6 Mr. Kuhta: One thing that we should mention is that the reason that the development agreement was put in place was that backing up to the process, the planning commission at that time recommended denial on that project. And that denial moved forward to the city council. When the Ciry Council received it, that's when the idea of the development agreement came about. And just to refresh the Planning Commission, there's no process established in the municipal code to do a development agreement, so we actually had to halt the Comp Plan amendment process with our city council who directed us to develop a code amendment to allow a development agreement to be done. Which as you know can take a long time. It actually went pretty quickly and got that adopted and then went back and negotiated under the council's direction the development agreement of this project. So that's a little different history of how that came about. Ms. Sands: Have you had an opportunity to look at any scenarios that might be appropriate for this particular property? Mr. Mike Basinger: We have met with the developer, but that material we can't bring forward. The Public Hearing is closed, which means that if we were to bring something forward, it's only fair for that the public would be able to talk to that proposal. We did close the public hearing at our last meeting. Which means you can't bring any new information forward. But I can assure that the developer is in a position to work with City Council to mitigate some of the impacts. Ms. Sands: How would we proceed in order to put it forward to Ciry Council? Would we just recommend working with the developer to mitigate the impacts for the surrounding low density neighborhood? Mr. Mike Basinger: Ms. Sands I think that would be very appropriate. It's really difficult to figure out what the developer can work with and what they are willing to do, without that negotiation going back and forth between staff. And to bring that information forward to City Council for them to digest and to decide if that's reasonable but it's really tough to determine what kind of litigation measures we can deal with and actually discussing that with the developer. Mr. Scott Kuhta: If this were the case and they found it with the recommendation to do a developers agreement and if Ciry Council agreed to that and agreed that that's a good idea and both the developers agreement is drafted, then the public would have any opportunity to review it and comment on it. It's not like there would be a separate, it's not like there would be no review and comment. Mr. Bates: Mike, how often do we use developer's agreements? Is this something fairly new within the last year or two? Mr. Basinger: Commissioner Bates it's very new. As Scott just mentioned we actually developed the mechanism in our municipal code in working with project you heard from at our public hearing. We developed a code for him to enter into development agreements. Now, we did have another proposal where they were thinking about doing a development agreement. That was St. John Vianney. And so we have actually had one implemented and one that we started to negotiate and did not go through. So it's very new. Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 6 Mr. Bates: Ok Thank you. Any other questions? Thank you, Mike. Comments from the Commission? Mr. CarrolL Well Mr. Chair I think we have talked about this thing a lot and I would like to offer an amendment to our current motion. Mr. Bates: If Pm correct Commissioner Neill made the original motion to approve CPA- OS-12 at our last meeting. So we have a main motion in front of us. Now if you want to amend that. Mr. Carroll: I propose to amend the current motion to read as follows: The Planning Commission recommends to City Council to approve CPA-OS-2012 subject to the following conditions. l. Parcel 45133.0109 be designated as Community Commercial. 2. The successful negotiation of a Development Agreement that includes: A. An expanded landscape buffer between the proposed development and the adjacent residences on Moore, Alki and Sonora streets. B. Appropriate restrictions on density and height to better blend the two neighborhoods. Mr. Bates: Amended motion has been before us. We need a second. Mr. Stoy: Second. Mr. Bates: Discussion? Mr. Carroll: we're not in the authority to negotiate the developer's agreement. That is something that staff through the City Council has to do. All we can do is point out the things that mitigate and protect those neighbors around the development and I think it's a good project. I think we have to offer something up to protect the neighbors on Moore, Sonora and Alki there. And without being very specific I think the staff and the developer have to come to those conclusions. And that's why I offered this particular general amendment. Mr. Bates: Ok Any Discussion? Mr. Stoy: the only question I have is to staf£ If we designate 45133.0109 as a community commercial zone, can I use that as an access point into the larger parcel? Mr. Basinger: Yes, it could still be used as an access point to the parcels that would be currently zoned depending where we go with it. Mr. Stoy: The rest I agree with. I wrote some notes myself. Some of the comments I had were; access from both Broadway and Conklin only. A 40 ft minimum set back against the residential zones and a minimum of a 6ft high sight obscure fence along the perimeter of the development. That would give us some nice buffering. And then of course the landscaping as per staff's recommendations and he's only allowed, if it does go to the MF2 a maximum of 65% site coverage, which if my math is correct its approximately 150 units, if I am not mistaken. So, I think that John's amendment here is very well thought out and I agree with it totally. Mr. Bates: any other comments? Mr. Higgins: Mike, a little bit ago you explained in detail a little bit of the developer's agreement. Could you put this into perspective as to what exactly what this as it stands, what it would look like? Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 6 Mr. Basinger: Let me see if I understand the question. So, if we went with the MF2 zoning for this particular property it would be somewhat similar because the Shelly Lake proposal was adjacent to low densiry residential and this property is surrounded by low residential on 3 sides. So I think that it's similar in a sense that you're asking for mitigation for residential properties that are surrounding the proposed Comp Plan Amendments. Mr. Higgins: One of my questions. If zoning requirements already require some things ok? What would the zoning requirements cause this to look like? Mr. Basinger: Our current zoning requirements would say that you need a 6ft fence all the way around the property adjacent to the residentiaL You need to have type 1 buffering, which is a 5 ft wide buffering with various trees and bushes within that buffering strip. That's the landscaping. That's just outside of that 6ft fence. You would have a 6ft high fence, Sft of buffering included in landscaping. Mr. Kuhta: And the landscaping is a solid screen so as it matures you would have a solid wall of vegetation with trees spaced. Mr. Higgins: As I heard testimony there was a lady who said "I don't want to wake up looking up at an apartment building with them looking right down," is this likely to happen under this scenario? Mr. Basinger: Again the current code requires a 5 ft buffering so you have your setbacks that are associated with that zone, which is lOft on the rear and Sft on the sides. So could be 5 ft from that fence you could go 50 ft in the air. Mr. CarrolL If you look at the past developers agreement it said no multi-family building should be located closer than 40ft easterly property meaning there going to be 40ft separation which more matches up with a back yard. I think that's what we're looking for. Mr. Higgins: I understand. I was just curious as to how that matched up with what if you didn't do anything what would that do. Mr. Kuhta: I just want to mention on the setback, I am not sure how many are actually in here. Is this all one parcel? Mr. Basinger: Actually interestingly enough this is 3 parcels, it's a section, and it's a piece of one parcel currently. Cause I don't want to do any code up boundary line adjustments until we get something definitive from City Council. Mr. Kuhta: If we look at the map, if you see the western boundary of it,just looking at it that would be considered a side. So there would be Sft minimum setback from the sides, the front is usually the access for the street and the rear is the opposite of the front so, decide to divide that up with parcel lines and use that to determine where the setbacks are, but I think it's safe to assume that western boundary, that eastern boundary would be Sft minimums setbacks. Just on the code requirements. Mr. Neill: Mike on the other developer's agreement, no multi-family residences within 40ft-30ft of the property line? Would that be something along the line like garages? Could you put garages or ask to put garages along the parameter that way you're keeping the taller houses away? Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 6 Mr. Basinger: Mr. Neill, I am glad that you ask that question because rypically when you enter these types of development agreements what the developer will do is reconfigure his property and what he'll do is say nobody wants a SOft tall apartment building adjacent to the residential property. So they will do parking garages on the fringes; they'll do things like rec centers that are more of a standardized height under 35ft like a home those type of things on the edges. Now the development agreement what it does is it sets in stone that they have to do that. Because they can tell they are going to do that; they may not necessarily, it could change hands. Or people could develop the properry. So, what you're doing with the developers is you're saying this will occur on the property. And those are some of the ways you can mitigate the impacts. The median density zone ended up complicating his development improvement in the future and that's one thing that we need advice from in the interim into an agreement like that. It complicated in that it was limited on the rype of development they could do in there instead of reconfiguration of the lot. Let's say like garages and things like that. So, I would just say that we will be very careful when we work with the developer if that is Ciry Councils prerogative to make sure that it's a workable developer's agreement for the citizens and the developers. Mr. Bates: Mike will you identify this parcel for me. Which area is this? Is this on the west side the 45133.0109? Mr. Kuhta: So you're talking about that proposal that makes that parcel community commercial? Make that clear for the record. Mr. Bates: Since the Developers Agreement is so new to our city and we have used it so sparingly I kind of interpret that as, if we're going to have a Developers Agreement, that means that our current rules and procedures don't accommodate what we're trying to do. Unless we have somebody that's trying to build or develop on a hillside or some really special things that indicate that this is not a normal development. This is flat land and shovel ready. So what I am concerned about I guess is the height of the building and these kinds of things. Ms. Sands: Mr. Bates, I disagree. In the development code we have PUD which are for difficult properties. With this one is sort of nonconforming request, being a high density surrounded by a low density. However the area and where the area has developed is kind of pushing the higher density issue there, so I respectfully disagree that we don't have a mechanism because we have always had the PUD option for difficult to develop properties and municipal code. This is a separate situation. And really the only reason that the Developers Agreement hasn't been used much is because this last year was the first time the City ran up against meeting it. And that's when they developed it, so it's not an unusual thing, it just hasn't been used much. It hasn't been around very long and not a lot of developments that have needed that. Mr. Bates: As we go down the road though and as we use Developers Agreements on site specific areas, think it seems to me that we are penalizing some developers and not others. If we're going to say that all Developers Agreements are unique. I think it's a little unfair to some developers that they are going to have to jump through different hoops that other developers did not. I am not too sure that is fair to the citizens or the developers. In this case there are other High density residential areas that are not much different than this and as Mr. Hune pointed out that there are very few areas in our city Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 6 that got 10 plus acres to move to high density. So, I am not too sure this is a good thing to get into the Developers Agreement again. Mr. CarrolL I think on the contrary. Were not penalizing it, were facilitating that development. Were protecting the neighbors to the west there along Moore and Alki. If that was commercial property along Alki, I would say go with it (there is no special litigating effects) we got single family residents there and were trying to mitigate the impact on them. This is not to penalize them; it's to facilitate a development in a place where there are other issues involved. Mr. Bates: Ok, let's confine to that one little area up there. Mr. Bates: I think I specified along the residency along Alki, Moore and Sonora right there. Ms. Sands: We heard a lot of people along Conklin that had the same concerns and I think that they deserve to be heard toa I think the Developers Agreement needs to take into consideration that this is a piece of property with a high density residential and a low densiry developed neighborhood. So, if they want to do that they are going to have to conform to the needs of the residents that live in the parcels surrounding that. Now if it was next door to 2 or 3 high densiry residential parcels than absolutely. No problem, let um go. But it's not, it's kind of sticking out there. Ya know they have the alternative to make this into a PUD and put 12 units per acre and keep it all low so it's not going to be much impact on the neighbors. Mr. Kuhta: Mr. Chair if I could make an observation. Looking at this site. This is a good size parcel. There are not a lot of good size parcels like this left in the city to develop and it does provide the builder a lot of flexibility with design and how they can lay things out. It appears even if you have a 40ft buffered all the way around. It appears to us. We have increased the numbers and done density calculations. There's quite a bit of opportunity for flexibility in the design to keep the taller buildings in, even around the perimeter. I am not sure it would hurt the developer if there was a reasonable setback even all the way around the perimeter. Not sure that would be problem, but something to consider. But then again as Mike said, if you recommend the Developers Agreement, you don't really have to be that specific. You could just say `to create buffers around the property to litigate the impacts' and if council agreed to go with that than we would start the negotiations with the developer. Mr. Bates: And that's what John was stating it's not specific. Any other discussion? All those in favor of the amended motion say I. opposed no. Passes. Now we have the original motion? Ms. Deanna: No you have an amended original motion. Mr. Bates: any discussion on the amended original motion? All in favor say L Opposed No. Motion carries. Planning Commission Minutes Page 6 of 6 Spokane Valley Planning Commission Transc�ipt of Minutes Council Chambers — City Hall, 11707 E. Sprague Ave. February 23, 2012 CHRISTINA JANSSEN CPA-01-12 —This is a privately initiated amendment. The applicants are Scott and Sarah Creighton. The location is at 12510/12512 E Olive. The proposed amendment would be to change the designation from the subject property to low density residential to high density residential. The vicinity map shows the location of the property in question here with the black hatch marks. The streets Olive Avenue and Collins Road provide access to the site and for your reference time zone you would see just off of the screen. This is a photo of the subj ect property which shows a duplex. This is a photo of the surrounding neighborhood from condos directly and duplexes to the northeast. The current Comprehensive Plan does a motion on the property as low density residential. As you can see the yellow on the screen is low density residential, the brown is high density residential and you can see that is located to the north and also directly to the west is our subject property. This blue area is an office property. The zone around the property is R-3 which is the aone of the low density residential designation. The high density residential is on MS-2 and again off of Pines. Are there any questions about this map before I move on? One more thing I would like to add to that one, three comments from our last study session we got via email on this amendment have been added for the record and a copy of those was provided for you this evening. CPA-02-12 — A privately initiated amendment. The applicant is Mr. Monty Lewis. The location is at 16913 E Mission. The proposed amendment is to change from low density residential to mixed use center. The vicinity map on the property is near the intersection of Mission and Flora. This is the new Indiana Parkway. These are some photos of the site. Currently the site has a single family dwelling as well as a commercial greenhouse operation. These photos taken from the site are looking from the southwest on the Indiana Parkway and this one is looking east to Flora Road. The current Comprehensive Plan designation on the property is low density residential and you can see the yellow surrounded by low density residential back and to the east. Down here is all mixed use center. The current zoning on the property is R-3 again, predominantly R-3 to the north and you have some packets of R-4 and then toward the southwest is more mixed use center. We did receive one comment letter since the study session this afternoon from Miss Janice Austin that has been added for the record and provided to you this evening. Are there any questions about CPA-02-04? JOHN CARROLL: Christina remind me did that house face east away from that property be changed around for consideration? CHRISTINA JANSSEN the house directly on the corner? JOHN CARROLL: yes CHRISTINA JANSSEN the house faces Flora. CPA-04-12 — This is an initiated map amendment. The applicant is Mr. Abraham Farraj. 805 The Comp Plan Amendment is to change the Comprehensive Plan designation to low density residential to neighborhood commerciaL I just want to remind you that in the notice the address for this property was incorrect. The property address is 805 N Parkway and it's located on the north of Park. Here are some photos of the subj ect property. There is a current single family residence which is vacant and has been vacant for some time. This photo was taken from across Page 1 of 30 Broadway Avenue and looking onto site you cannot see the house but it is located behind this trees. These are some of the neighboring businesses in the area. Directly south we have a large industrial warehouse and across the street we have the 7-ll Convenience Store. The Comprehensive Plan designation on this property is R-3 and is surrounded by R-3 to the north. Directly south is one that is zoned industrial and to the east you can see we have some neighbored commerciaL The zoning on the property is R-3. We have a significant amount of R-4 zone properties and R-3 neighborhood commercial and with the 7-11 and then in the strip. Any questions about CPA-04-12? CPA-06-12 — A privately initiated map amendment. The applicant is Mr. Dwight Hume with Land Use Solutions. The location is ll 14 N Vercler. The request is to change a low density residential to office. The vicinity map shows the location of the property at the intersection of Boone Avenue and Vercler Road. For your reference Broadway Avenue would be located just down here at this side of the screen. These photos are on the property as it exists today. This is a single family dwelling and I believe two mixed uses are there. These are some pictures that were taken from the property. We have some single family residences across the street and to the south. To the north we have vacant land here and then some other medical office type buildings. The current designation on the property is low density residential, the significant amount of the low density residential to the south and significant amount of office to the north. Zoning on the property is R-3. There is a significant amount of R-3 and a little pocket of R-4 here. We do have some high density residential in the neighborhood. This property is near the hospital and offices. Directly north of the subject property, we have some garden /office properties. Any questions on this amendment? Mike Basinger: These site specific map amendments are located between Conklin Road and Sullivan Road, south of Broadway Avenue. The close vicinity of these privately and independently owned initiated map amendments identify potential need for change is this area. CPA-03-12 - A private initiated map amendment submitted by Sunrise LLC proposing the change the Comp Plan designation from of�ce to community commercial. The location is 15922/16002 E Broadway. The property is generally located on Broadway Avenue east of Mill Road. Currently two parcels are single family residential uses and the third is undeveloped. North from the amendment you can see the large fencing we got here is the actual site. There are 3 parcels that are located there. When looking north you can see the large box retail uses. It's consistent close to Walmart and Lowes and various other commercial uses. Currently the site is residential office. The applicant is proposing a community commercial designation. If you look we have a regional commercial designation with a large box retail use. We have a medium density residential use, and we have low density residential identified in the white or yellow. We also have currently from office uses to the church property right here located right after Sullivan. We have our community commercial uses located along with corridor. Currently the site is zoned garden/office and the applicant is proposing a community commercial designation. The property purchased to the west of the proposed amendment is zoned R-4 which is a low density residential designation. We have properties that are designated R-3 and there are properties designated as F-1. These properties are actually zoned garden/office and we have our regional commercial designation. Are there any questions on this particular amendment? STEVE NEILL: What is the difference between office and community commercial? What type of businesses would be able to go on there that are not allowed on there now? Page 2 of 30 Mike Basinger— Generally speaking the office designation would allow for office uses with some retail uses but the retail uses have to be suburban to the office use, so limited retail in the office designation. The community commercial designation allows for a lot more retail uses. That is really the big issue between office and community commercial. CPA-OS-12—A privately initiated map amendment submitted by land Use Solutions and Entitlement. The location is 601 n Conklin. They are proposing to change the Comp Plan designation from medium density residential to high density residential. The property is generally located south of Broadway Avenue and west of Conklin Road. Currently the property is 10 acres in size and primarily undeveloped. These photos show looking west which is primarily vacant land, looking south it is a very large parcel with a lot of vacant land with residential uses surrounding it. The lot on Broadway located right is currently a duplex and looking east you can see another residential use. Currently the site is designated medium density residential and if you look around you can see there is also the office designation to the north, low density residential surrounding the property, and regional commercial to the north. We have more office designation located to the west and if you go a little further south you see more medium density residential uses. So again the site is designated medium density residential and we are proposing to go to high density residential. The current zoning on the site is MF-1. If you look to the west you have an R-4 zone and again we have garden/of�ce located to the west in our regional commercial uses. Also we have essentially an R-3 designation surrounding the property and community commercial to the south. Are there any questions regarding this particular amendment? CPA-07-12- A privately initiated map amendment submitted by Ronald Steiger proposing to change the Comp Plan designation from office to community commercial. The located is 15712 E Broadway. The property is located on Broadway Avenue, west of War Road and east of Sullivan Road. Currently three of the parcels are single family residential uses and the fourth is a church. Looking north to the proposed amendment you can see the large box retail uses again. Surrounding the property this is one of the e�sting houses that is currently on the property. It is abandoned. This house is currently vacant as well and this is the church property. There is one more parcel included that is completely vacant. So the comprehensive plan designation change is proposing to go to community commercial which is the same Comprehensive Plan designation that we see here on Sullivan. Located to the north we have regional commerciaL Located to the east we have some office uses, low density residential and medium density residential. We have four community commercial to the south and including some low density residential. That essentially is the designation surrounding the property. The current zoning of the site is garden/office. They are proposing to go to community commercial. We have regional commercial to the north and garden/office designation located to the east along with our R-4 from the classi�cation. We also have some more garden/office and some various residential uses including low density and medium density. We again have our community commercial uses and more garden/office and some medium density to the west. Are there any questions for this particular amendment? CPA-08-12- Text Amendment to Chapter 2, Land Use Table 21 was updated to reflect new population estimates for the city and we do use those for our Capital Facilities Plan. Figure 21 — essentially took our Land Use Designation by Comp Plan and updated that to reflect our city allegation property by land use designation. We revised our annexation area language and updated map 21 to Land Use designation change which is approved to the Comp Plan Amendments. If in fact they are approved if not the map can stay exactly the way it is depending on the city council decision on these privately initiated map amendments. Page 3 of 30 CPA-09-12—Text Amendment to Chapter 3 — Transportation—Map 31 our arterial street plan on display the reclassi�cation on 4`'' Avenue East of Sullivan and Conklin , South of Sprague Avenue from a local access street to a urban collector. Text associated with non motorized transportation will be used along with Map 2, the bike and pedestrian system reference will be made to Chapter ll in the Bike and Pedestrian Element that was proposed last year. CPA-10-12 — Text Amendments to Chapter 4 - Capital Facilities and Public Services. The six year transportation program will be incorporated into the cities Capital Facilities Plan and updating a special purchase district and service that included Spokane Counties Capital Facilities Plan. We include capital projects for the use of the Real Estate Excess Tax Funding as you know we mentioned that in our Comprehensive Plan to use that funding. Map 4.5 will display updates to reflect the six year construction capital that is this plan this year. It just shows what our plan is for the city. We also updated to reflect the office of financial management for the estimate for our city. CPA-11-12 this is an amendment to Chapter 7 —Economic Development- this is plan to request to revisit our Economic Development Chapter. Map 7.1 — a new building in Land use Actions in the 20ll Development Cycle, that is the map before you right now. The Development statistics, wages and permit forecast promote activity and other local economic data will also be updated. Economic goals and policies will also be revised as necessary to address forecasted economic conditions. With that are there any questions on the text amendments before you? BILL BATES: Thank you very much Mike. MIKE BASINGER Thank you. Bill Bates: So at this time we will open the public meeting at 6:32 p.m. Mike indicated we have 7 privately initiated ones and as you can see by the signup sheets over here we are going to take that in order, CPA-01-12, 2, 3 and so on. It is a little different than what Mike did, 3 of these of course, # 3, # 5 and# 7 have to do with the Broadway area. We will take them in order. If you didn't get signed up, don't worry we will get to you after the people who have signed up. So don't worry everyone will get a chance to speak. So at this time I would like to have Mr. Stoy read the rules of a public hearing. Mr. Stoy read rules for public hearing. (these are standard rules which we read at the beginning of every public hearing. Commissioners then call people up one at a time to testify, there is little dialog here except for the reading of the rules and announcing Mr. Creighton to the podium) Scott Creighton, I have two pages of information to pass around. My name is Scott Creighton, I am here representing myself and my wife, Sarah Creighton. 815 S Marigold, Spokane Valley, WA We are owners of the property. We are invested in this area,we also own the property the address 12422 which is not the exact adjacent property but it's one over and it's multifamily. This property is on the cusp between multifamily and low density and we are requesting to have the high density designation applied so we can have better use of opportunities for the land. And that is all I have. Bill Bates: Mr. Lewis? Monty Lewis, — Monty Lewis, ll006 E Sprague. 99206. Due to Indiana Parkway going through and significantly changing the scope of our property we are hoping to make the change so we can have future opportunities become a conforming use as we1L Thank you. Page 4 of 30 Bill Bates: Any questions of Mr. Lewis? Joe Stoy: Mary Orcutt Mary Orcutt, Mary Orcutt, last name, (spells it out) 2009 N Bell Street, 99016, We frequently walk by this property and it is not far from the Centennial Trail so Pm concerned of changing the zoning because I think it should remain low density residential. Thank you. Bill Bates: Thank you very much. Anyone else here for CPA-02-12? We will move on to CPA-03-12, Mr. Pierson? Grant Person, — My name is Grant Person My wife and I are sole owners of Sunrise Land LLC of Washington Limited Liability Company which owns the property. I have reviewed the staff report to the Deanna Griffith: I need your address please sir: Mr. Person: 11219 E Sundown Dr. I have reviewed the staff report to the Planning Commission and I have no corrections or adjustments, or changes to make to it. The property Pm speaking of is property Pve owned for a number of years zoned Garden Office. Garden Of�ce is a restricted zone. The nature of the neighborhood has changed quite a little bit since Pve bought this property. There is an abundance of office zoned property in the valley and an abundance of office buildings and office space in the valley, vacancies that exceed 25% in most areas in the valley. Winter rates are down quite significantly and I might add Pm familiar with what Pm talking about because Pve been in the commercial real estate business for about 38 years. The uses in the of�ce zone, as I have said are extremely restrictive. I think that the demand for more retail and commercial space is higher than of�ce substantially and being on a 5 lane arterial I think it is well suited for regional commercial use versus office. If you have questions of me, I would be happy? Bill Bates: Any questions for Mr. Pierson? Joe Stoy: Ray Rippley? Ray Rippley? (someone responding in the background which cannot be heard) Bill Bates: Does anyone else wish to speak to CPA-03-12? Yes, sir, voices from the background, Can you go the rostrum please? Tim Severns, My name is Tim Severns, I live at 6ll N Moore Rd. A question sir. How many units do you think could go into that particular property, this particular, how many housing units do you anticipate? (there is some noise I cannot understand)um ok forgive me. Mike Basinger: I would be happy to respond to his question. He is going for a commercial designation which wouldn't allow for units in particular, he is looking for a retail use similar to the stuff across the street. Bill Bates: We will go on to CPA-4-12, Mr. Farris Ibrahim Farraj, My name is Ibrahim Farraj, I live at 923 N Park Rd, I live a block away from it and I would like to use it for a good use. It has been empty for about 5 or 6 years, that lot. (Mr. Farraj is very difficult to understand) Bill Bates: Any questions for Mr. Farr Page 5 of 30 John Carroll: We are on OS-12 right, Bill Bates: We are on 4, Joe Stoy: I can't hear him Bill Bates: Could you repeat Mr. Farraj please? Ibrahim Farraj: My name is Ibrahim Farraj, I live at 923 N Park Rd. just a few block north of 805 N Park Rd. That lot of there has been empty for like a 5-6 year, I bought it for just to use for a good use for the neighborhood. Bill Bates: Questions? Thank you very much Joe Stoy: Ashley Finley? Bill Bates: Anyone else wishing to speak on CPA-4-12, ok we will move on to CPA-5-12, applicant Mr. Dwight Hume, Dwight Hume, Dwight Hume,9101 N Mountain View Lane, Spokane, 99218, I am here on behalf of the owners of the property, Arger Conklin LLC. Pm passing out to you a series of comments which will take more than three minutes to cover over so I will summarize and trust you will look at those before your decision. Bill Bates: Thank you Dwight Hume: What is important to remember in this particular request is that the staff report recommend approval, that this is a map change and for purposes of consistency as required by the great management act, we then implement the zone that, put the zoning on the property that implements the request for the designation in this case we have high density residential and it will result in a MF-2 zone. The issue not the zoning that's incidental to your approval to the land map designation and the land map designation that we are requesting is low density residentiaL Supported by the staff and we have included several pieces of property that you saw on that map, one of which fronts on Broadway, one of which adds to our frontage on Conklin. As a result we can ingress and egress this site in the major arterial and from the minor arterial and not have to leak out into the local access street system. This is across from regional commercial which the staffreport emphasiaes and I think just by looking at the collection of independent requests have come together at close proximity of each other all on the south side of Broadway and all within a couple of blocks, there is a serious need in the future to maybe have the planning commission and staff revisit this area as a subarea study. The driving force of change is regional commercial zone and we can't ignore that. High density zone allows for a transition of regional commercial in this particular proposal is what we call shovel ready. It means the infrastructure is in place. It is flat, it's developed and your Growth Management Act urges you to accommodate over 16,492 people in the next 20 years and that is what this is all about, a Growth Management Plan and providing for that and this site can double the opportunity of including something of that quota in one place next to regional commercial so we would encourage you to approve it. Thank you. Bill Bates: Thank you Mr.Hume Page 6 of 30 John CarrolL• I have a question. One of the area proposals was to change parcels that were on Broadway to office. Would you have the objection to extending that parcel further east for your entry way and make that of�ce to keep that consistent kind of land use classification along there? Mr.Hume: That would not be a problem. John Carroll: Have you given any consideration to a developer's agreement to include buffering along the low family residential on the west side? Mr. Hume: I have not, and I have purposely have not because I think when we are talking about the growth management plan, we are talking about a map change and the zoning again, is incidental to it and we have to begin to start trusting the performance standard of the zoning code that have been adopted as the tools by which offering is accomplished and the setbacks and other aspects of the site development regulations are there for that purpose. So development agreement isn't something that should be put in place. Bill Bates: Any more questions for Mr. Hume? Thank you. Joe Stoy: Gregory Arger Gregory Arger, Pm Gregory Arger, 300 N Mullan Rd, Spokane, I am the property owner. We are seeking the Comprehensive action today to better implement the need for better improved luxury type of apartments which accommodate families and provide services to the area. Where the apartments today have parks in them, playgrounds, they have lots amenities there are a large amount of people trying to transform residential to nice luxury apartments. Bill Bates: Any questions? Steve Neill: You mentioned open space. There is an apartment complex on 16"'near Dishman-Mica that actually has large open spaces. Is that what you are talking about? Gregory Arger: You have large open space planning and trails that type of thing, with the amenities when, so you're family oriented, where the children can play outside and benefit a new project all the amenities that are available today. Bill Bates: Any other questions for Mr. Arger? Joe Stoy: Lindsey Skeen? Lindsay Skeen, Hi my name is Lindsey Skeen, I put my business address on there but residence address is 2618 N Thick Rd., 99212. Like I said my name is Lindsey Skeen, I am a property manager for Diamond Rock Construction. I am here on behalf of our owner Mr Dennis Crapo who unfortunately could not be here this evening. I ha�e a statement he would like me to read. I have a copy for everyone to go around. I will hand those down: Dear Sirs, This letter will either supplement my testimony or stand alone as my comments related to this proposaL I will say from the outset I am not against comprehensive plan amendments as I have used this process to modify existing land uses to better suit the needs of my company, Diamond Rock Construction. I am however concerned about an apparent appearance of fairness which is have and continually have issued with the City of Spokane Valley weather they are real or imagined that are in fact my concerns. The issue at hand is related to the results of the comprehensive Page 7 of 30 plan map which I did in 2009 CPA-01-09, Their request was to change approximately ll acre from LDR to HDR and although we were successful on this endeavor only because the City Council overruled the Planning Commission. The result was implementation of the developer agreement process within the City of Spokane Valley. The impact to this process is significant delays associated with creating the developer agreement process as the overall process took several months more than it should have. Beyond that the other reason for the developer agreement was that in order for the City Council to adequately approve my proposal for HDR Density we had to limit the development adjacent to the existing LDR to that equivalent to MDR 120 feet. Additionally there was building setback increase 40 feet and the required 10 foot landscape plan strip directly adj acent to the LDR property often known as the Reflections at Shelley Lake. The reasoning for these restrictions as noted by Council that the home on Reflections at Shelley Lake were located next to LDR and ha�e a reasonable expectations for the future development to be equivalent to LDR under the current at a future time development standards. To this issue we do make our comment. We welcome additional HDR density in the valley and as a developer and contractor both building single family residential and multifamily residential I understand that the need both practically and financially. However, we believe that developer Arger Conklin LLC should be held to the same requirements that we were. To do otherwise would give them an unfair financial betterment over my property which was in much the same circumstance. Therefore I would ask that you approve this amendment with the following restrictions as noted in Ordinance 9-018 that the adjacent to LDR development that a 10 foot Type II landscape strips be required that adjacent to e�sting LDR development the setback be modified to 40 feet. That adjacent to existing LDR development that would stand 120 feet that LDR zoning development that it be limited MDR intensity ma�mum building height no greater than 35 feet. I believe that by implementing these controls on these development that equal development opportunities can be provided equitably and fairly within the Spokane Valley. Thank you for your time and we look forward to following this application through the Planning Commission and City Council. Sincerely, Dennis Crapo,President, Diamond Rock Construction Inc. Bill Bates: Any questions for Ms. Skeen? Marcia Sands: I actually have a question for staff on this particular issue. I remember working on the other issue and they are absolutely correct on this, I think that the reason that the planning commission had so much of a problem implementing consensus changing to HDR at that time, because of the pro�mity to LDR and the concerns for property values. How does the changes that the City Council implemented at time affect what we're doing here on the Comprehensive Plan? Mike Basinger Those changes did come out of the agreement with the developer and City Council. The developer is not proposing a development agreement with this request. It stands on its merit as going to HDR from medium density residential. Currently our regulations require Type I screening between high density residential and low density residential which is a typical application that we use to make sure that there is some buffering between those uses. Marcia Sands: I thought there was a process that City Council came up with at that time to deal with this exact situation? Mike Basinger: At that time we did not have the ability to enter into development agreements in our current code. So that is the lag that, I believe, Mr. Crapo is talking about. So we actually had to go through the process of getting something in our Municipal Code to handle development agreements in Page 8 of 30 conjunction with Comprehensive Plan amendments. So that is why that process it took some time. But again that process was initiated with the developer and City Council. Bill Bates: Thank you very much. Joe Stoy: Stan Rhodes Stan Rhodes, Background, I have been a resident, my wife and I, of the Valley for over 60 years. I have lived at 16422 E Valleyway for over 40. So we are old timers here. Within one square mile of the ground we are discussing there are 7 properties now designated as high density multifamily residential. These properties contain 100's and 100's and 100's and 100's of rental units. These dwellings range in price or classification from low income restricted to high end townhouses. At this very moment these 7 properties, collectively, have from 150 to 200 units standing vacant. The relevance of this information is, since there is no shortage in the availability of these kinds of residences in this area, there can be no be absolutely no argument, no ruse, no deception by the commission or by the builder.No more apartments are needed and no more apartments are wanted.No More! Bill Bates: Thank you Mr.Rhodes Joe Stoy: Kathleen Potter Katherine Potter, It's Katherine Potter, and I live at 622 N Moore, 99037. Now I did, I submitted letter earlier this week on the 21s`, our petition that our neighborhood has been circling, in addition to several other neighbors that are circling petitions. I now have in front of ine over 90 signatures, regarding the CPA-OS-12 amendment. I guess what we are trying to say is that this is a single family surrounded property. It is currently zoned as MF-1, that is medium density residential. We are not opposed to a development of this property, we are simply opposed to increasing its population density by making it a high density residentiaL Now, it interests me to hear the owner of this property keep making references to the fact that this would be family type apartment complex. That there would be children running around and playing on the playground. It is very evident that the owner is not acquainted with this area and had not made any inquiries about the public school system. Pm the president of the PTA at Progress Elementary School and also a member of the PTA at Greenacres Middle SchooL I have children attending both of these schools. I called and talked to them about the current student population. Progress Elementary is currently full. They are at capacity. They have no more room for increase population. Furthermore, for students living on the east side of Sullivan, the city considers crossing Sullivan Road to be an unacceptable danger to these elementary school students. So the city must provide extra bussing for all students who live on the east side of Sullivan. Proposing to increase population in this area would be an added cost to the school district.Now Greenacres middle school, this school is currently over capacity. They are bussing somewhere around 100 students presently, and have been for the last couple of years, to other remote schools because they can't handle the population they have. We had hoped to pass a bond last year, to help elevate some of these restrictions in this area, it didn't pass. Schools cannot handle a higher property, excuse me, a higher density population on this property. So we the neighbors in this Veradale area assert that it should remain a medium density. That is plenty sufficient, for the builders to develop it and to make all the money they want off of it and for all of us to end up satisfactorily. Thank you. Do you want me to make extra copies of this, I understood you already had them but it was not brought up before. Bill Bates: Does everyone have a copy of this Letter? Page 9 of 30 Ms.Potter: There were some other ones sent in by others members Deanna Griffith: Mr. Chairman, I gave you those on Tuesday night. Bill Bates: Thank you very much, I appreciate it. Joe Stoy: Tom Felton Tom Felton: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, my name is Tom Felton, I live at 409 N Sonora, in the Valley. I never identify myself, I am a retired Idaho State Policeman. So. I am concentrating on traffic and boy do we ha�e it. The traffic on Valle�vay has increased 15 and 50% ever since the three high rises have gone up on that road. We have called the police dept. several times and had an officer sitting on the corner to check speeds. The speed is somewhere around 35-40 mph in a 25 mph zone, And he don't sit there very long. We do not want the cul-de-sac of Sonora to turn into a street. We already have enough problems with people turning in the cul-de-sac not seeing the dead end sign and then turning around in our driveways. I have to repair mine in the summer. The hospice plan that was planned for that area was a good idea, the high rise is not. We do not need, as you heard before nor want a high rise or any other high rise in that area. Thank you. Bill Bates: Thank you Joe Stoy: Jeffrey Potter Jeffrey Potter, Good evening, Pm Jeffrey Potter I live at 622 N Moore Rd.99037 I want to thank the Planning Commission allowing our neighbors to come out here tonight and speak on behalf of this comprehensive plan. Pm in opposition of this plan for the same reasons my wife just spoke o£ In addition to her comments I went ahead and made a call to the police department just to get an idea of what the crime rates typically do in high rise apartments that get placed in these low density areas. He directed me to the Spokane County Sheriffs' web site and look at the SCOUT map there and it is very evident that crime increases when you implement high density high population areas. Where we live we have already been burglarized. Our Christmas presents were stolen off our front porch this year. We can see an increase in that and the traffic concerns we mentioned earlier. We are opposed to it. There would be crime. We are looking at the school population and like my wife mentioned earlier it is going to be over capacity for those two schools. Our children attend those schools and I am sure most of the resident's children attend those schools. We also have a rebuttal to the characterization our neighborhood is not having any particular style or class or I forget how they worded it.... I think it is typical valley. We have residential homes mixed with open spaces and beautiful mountain views. This complex would butt up right against the back of my house. I have two small girls, I do not want a big apartment building looking into my backyard. Pm concerned for my children safety. I can't approve who moves into those apartment complexes, There could be anybody moving into those apartments and I would be very concerned somebody taking advantage of my children. Again, Pm opposed to it and I appreciate you guys letting me come out here. When we moved here, my wife is from this area, I am not, I am from the East Coast, we looked at 60-70 homes in the Spokane area and we looked at the valley and the valley was for us. We contacted everybody about those open fields and we were told that they would be residential areas,we are not opposed to that. We knew there would be more homes in there, that is great, we would love to have more neighbors,it increases our property values. A great big apartment complex sitting in my back yard is totally going to negate any value I have in my home and I appreciate you giving me the chance to speak. Page 10 of 30 Bill Bates: Thank you Mr. Potter Joe Stoy: Del, excuse me, Lindgren Del Lijergren, Commission members my name is Del Lijergren, I am a resident of 418 N Moore Rd. We have live here in the Spokane Valley in that residence for 25 years. We moved there because of the character of the Valley. We had open spaces, cattle, horses and room to walk our dogs and Pm very concerned about the proposed change from medium density to high density. Pve submitted a letter as you can see some of the other reasons Pve stated to is the concern for traffic and school population and things of that type. Pm especially concerned about the change from medium density to high density. The idea of the medium density is to provide a transitional zone between the single family residence areas as you've seen on the map surrounded this proposed zoned area. The change from medium density to high density is not going to provide that transitional zone that was speci�ed and that is part of the city code which is 19- 40-070 the MF-1 definition for that. I would ask that you preserve that medium density designation the way it is right now and keep that character of the lower height of buildings and lower density area should have. Thank you. Bill Bates: Thank you Joe Stoy: Janette Ludergren? (she responded from the background she did not want to speak) Joseph Waltser? Joseph Wetzler: My name is Joseph Wetzler. I live at 424 N Moore, in the Spokane Valley. I enjoy my residence and I enjoy the elderly area on Valleyway where they come down during the day driving there little motor homes, wheelchairs and what not moving down the street..If we go to high density back behind us it's going to be problem. I do have some concerns about what is going on in the valley, as an example the corner of Moore and Valleyway we get variances to move the road back out and Valleyway goes down, out , in, no construction, was supposed to be in conjunction with the new construction with the new roadway that goes in there. This is not good. We have problems with bicycles. Bicycles go down the street, they don't pay attention to which side they go on, we have to watch for them. We get people who complain bicycle routes and no one uses them and if they do they are going the wrong way. High Density in this area, my children are gone but I watch for the elderly that go by my home. Thank you for your time. Bill Bates: Thank you Mr. Wetzler Joe Stoy: Vicki Endicott Vicki Endicott, Yes, I am Vicki Endicott and 613 N Conklin and this development would be on two sides of ine. I would not mind single family homes but to live in a fish bowl on two sides, that is not why we moved out here to do, it just basically, I would rather have somebody come in and buy my home so I can move elsewhere. I enjoy the hawks out there, although they do come into my yard, eat my chicken every once in a while. Spring time the eagle bring their babies over they are hunting out there in the field. I enj oy the open space but I don't like the insinuation that we don't need a buffer zone between what they consider pretty and what I consider pretty. Although I don't want to look at a 20 ft wall but it would be better than 260 people looking at me. So that is my concern. Bill Bates: Thank you Ms. Endicott Page 11 of 30 Joe Stoy: Robert Endicott Robert Endicott, Good evening, thank you for giving me an opportunity to speak my name is Robert Endicott, I live at 613 N Conklin Rd. Our property is directly in front/behind, I don't know how you want to call it, I am not much of a public speaker, I am just a working Joe. Pve seen the drawings of what they want to put behind me. It is 260 units, with a day care center to the left of us. We already have problems with traffic. The cops already sit in the field next to us all the time. Like the one gentleman said, they don't sit there long. The cars are flying by. 260 units, that is at least 520 people, there will be a lot of people moving in. I don't want to live in a fish bowl either, like my wife said. They are going to go 2-3 stories behind me, there is going to be people looking in my back yard. We moved out there 2 years ago for the privacy. We enjoy the wide open spaces. I think, like the one gentleman said, we have enough empty apartments. We don't need any more apartments. There are plenty on the corner of Conklin and Sprague. We don't need it, we don't want it. Like my wife said, single family homes is fine. The low density residential , it should remain. I do take offense to this gentleman here (pointing out Mr Hume) saying that they did not need to fit in a buffer zone because it was not necessary. Bill Bates: anyone else wish to speak to this property? Yes, sir. Jason Camp My name is Jason Camp I live at 618 N. Conklin Rd. I live directly across from the property where it (?) on Conklin. I probably have the record for being generationally the longest residence in that area. I am the 3rd generation in that house at 618 N Conklin. My grandfather and his father built that house. They also built the house on corner of Broadway and Conklin. That was the first one. They built mine in 1932 and the one on the left of ine in early 40's for my grandmother and grandfather to live in. My mom grew up in that house, I moved into the house about 22 years ago. It has been my only residence and now we live here with my children, my 2-year old son and my daughter Alyssa who is here with me.. When I was a kid, her age, I could sit out in the road for 3-4 hours and do whatever I wanted. The only people who drove on that road were people who lived on that road. In the last, probably 10 years or so, since those box stores have gone in across the street our traffic count has gone from 50-100 cars a day to well over 800-900 cars a day. I literally sat out there and counted cars and it is ridiculous. There are times where traffic already from Broadway to my driveway, which is probably a good 150 yards from Broadway, is backed up to my driveway and sometimes past during peak traffic hours. 7:30 8:00 in the mornings — 4:30 5:00 in the evening. It is absolutely ridiculous. I do not want to see another gaggle of people across the street to create another layer of traffic. It's been a residential neighborhood,you can see the encroaching high density stuff, the commercial stuff, it keeps encroaching stuff on this area of single family dwellings. It does not need to go any farther into that area. I was a general contractor for about 20 years built single family houses, remodeled, all that kind of stuf£ Single family houses would be great. The previous owner across the street, Carl Kilders, actually had that platted out for 18 SF homes at one point in time and has since passed away. It has been done once already. I would implore you please to keep it as it is. Think about the history of the area and the nature of the neighborhood as it stands. Thank you Bill Bates: Mr. Camp,you live east of Conklin? Jason Camp: I live on Conklin, I am actually the second house south from Broadway on the east side of, I look out my front door at the property Bill Bates: yes,ma'am you would like to address this particular property? Please go to the rostrum. Page 12 of 30 Jan Wood, 503 N Conklin Rd: My name is Jan Wood, I live at 503 N Conklin Rd. I live two houses south of where this development is going to be.. It would be right behind me to the north. I too have noticed the traf�c, another apartment complex coming in there, there is going to be a lot of traffic,we are going to be bombarded with it. People already blow the 4-way stop sign, even in the day time as well as night. I have watched them go by and sometimes they are going as high as 50 mph at times down Conklin. There is a group home on Broadway and the only place they have to walk is down Conklin and Valleyway and a lot of them are in wheelchairs. There was a man who used to come up the street to go shopping, in a wheelchair. There is another man that goes by with a child. He picks up this child and walks back I think some of them go over to that development on Valleyway. There is so much foot traffic on Conklin it is unbelievable how unsafe it is right now. I have walked to Valleyway and over and it is dangerous. I oppose to having a big development go in there. I want to keep it like it is. Thank you. Bill Bates: anyone else to speak to this particular property? Yes,ma'am Cheryl McManamon, My name is Cheryl McManamon, I love at 504 N Conklin, I am not very good at public speaking but I listened to everybody's comments and just to let you know that my family has owned the property at 504 N Conklin and the vacant lot next to it for close to 50 years. Pve lived in a couple other areas in the valley and I would like to say that this neighborhood best neighborhood I have ever lived in. it's very unique that, that is my neighbor and I know her. That is my neighbor and I know her. These are both my neighbors and I know them. It is unusual to find a community like that,where we all of the neighbors know the other neighbors and it is because we have all lived there a long time. The property that is pictured next to this development you can get farm fresh eggs from that property every day. They have chickens. The property that is behind me, has horses, and they have been there many, many years. You come into this area and talk to, and I have talked to the police department too, that the area is ridiculous. One of my neighbors have been hit at Mission and Sullivan by a car and his life will never be the same again. He is not here with us, they are currently in a different area. The traffic has picked up in the area and it is ridiculous. It is not being policed. I realize it is a large area. The other day, I saw a school bus that came down Valleyway on to Conklin because the roads have not been increased in the area. He has to swing all the way out into the street, in order to negotiate that corner with his school bus. Streets are not being updated with the development. I know development needs to happen, but the streets are not being updated. We have currently had semi-trucks that have discovered that our street is a better use of a street than what Sullivan is, because there is so much traffic on Sullivan. So they come on our street. They took out part of my tree, because the street is not wide enough for a semi-truck to negotiate our street. The street is not wide enough, they have to go down the center of the street,because the trees have been there and the street is not wide enough, and yet they want to do it because it is easier than going down Sullivan. So I guess what I am saying it is a very unique neighborhood, we really don't. Many people have said that those other apartments on Valleyway, they have a lot of apartments on Valleyway, and a lot of apartments on 4"' and Conklin and at this point, I don't think we need any more and I think we would like to reserve our neighborhood the way that it is now because we are very close, we feel it is very unique. I thank you for your time and uh, ok. Bill Bates, Thank you very much, you did very we1L I appreciate everyone's input, yes sir, behind the post. Brian Groff yes, sir I name is Brian Groff, I live at 16316 Valleyway. I got a few concerns, Tra�c. Traffic is already terrible on Conklin ever since they did that work on SulLivan and detoured it up Conklin. Everybody that took that detour up Conklin now takes Conklin all the time, cause it is quicker Page 13 of 30 than going through to Sullivan so we get tons of people all of the time going through there. I have a seven year old son and I won't even let him ride. He wants to ride his bike, and I am afraid to let him ride his bike anywhere because traffic is so bad. There have been a ton of accidents right by that 4 way stop, there have been a ton of accidents there, you could probably look that up. Pm afraid the crime rate is gonna go up and the property rates are gonna go down. We moved out here about, we love it here. There are deer, I saw a deer the other morning come out of that field with a little baby. There are tons of wildlife. I know you can't stop development but I would rather not have an apartment complex go in there, I think low residential area would be much better. Thank you. Bill Bates: Thank you Mr. Groff, anyone else,Yes ma'am. Alyssa Camp My name is Alyssa Camp and I live at 608 N Conklin Rd and I really don't want this to go in because I can't ride my bike,because it is so busy. I really don't want it to go in. (ms camp is about 10 yrs old and stepped away as she began to lose composure) Bill Bates: Thank you, anyone else,yes, Kathy Groff, My name is Kathy Groff I live at 16316 E Valleyway. I grew up in the Valley, down on Progress and Valleyway, so this is kind of my old stomping grounds. I do recognize the need for progress and moving forward. One of the things I love about my home now, is that Pm 5 minutes from the store, from my hardware store all these things. And yet I feel like I am still ruraL I can look out my window and see the mountains in the background. I own a little piece of property, my neighbors have a little piece of property and we all feel like an oasis in the middle of the conveniences. If this goes in it is not going to stay that way. We are going to have people upon people and the traffic is going to get much worse. I agree with everything that everyone else said tonight and I just want to add that to it. Right now it is a wonderful neighborhood. I too know all my neighbors I can list the neighbors half way down Conklin and well as Valleyway,because the neighbors are so friendly and wonderful there. So, Please we want to keep our neighborhood as it is now. Thank you Bill Bates: Thank you Ms. Groff, anyone else wish to speak to that particular site? Yes,ma'am Shawnee Steward, My name is Shawnee Steward, I live 503 N Sonora Lane, right there in the Valley. I have lived there since I was 14. I have been there for about 12 years. I was raised there. I was a kid there. Now I have three boys there, two of them are my nephews, one is in a wheelchair, his only source of access. Two of my neighbors, they cannot drive it is the only way they can get around, they are in wheelchairs. We have a lot of traf�c that comes up our cul-de-sac lost.,people will say,let's see if we can get into that apartment complex there will be a lot more people getting really lost. People are not slow, even though it is a cul-de-sac, even with a sign that says dead end, people speed really bad down there. There are a lot of kids. Because I have lived there so long and I am sure many of my neighbors will say the same thing. We all look out for the children because of the traffic. We know where they are,we know when to say watch out. And with all of this commercial traffic, the development starts bringing in the big super centers on Broadway and the City made it worse when they detoured traffic through the area how to quickly get there if you go Conklin and this leads to so much more danger in that area. But an apartment complex that can bring up to 500 more people is going to add that much more danger and I just don't want to see the community's children in that kind of danger not be able to go out. Adults watching the children not being able to play where they have played. We don't want them to go out when it gets dark because we don't know who is living in those apartments. These are the kind of things that concern me and the senior citizens so Pm not opposed to single family houses, it would be great to have a few more Page 14 of 30 neighbors but not 500 of them because that would be scary, and they do have helicopters that consistently out looking for people with their search lights in that area. That would leave us in extreme distress. Bill Bates: Thank you Ms. Steward, anyone else wish to speak to this particular property? If no one has any objections I think this would be a good time to take a break We will take a 10 minute break. The Commission took a break at 7:30 p.m. They returned at 7:45 p.m. Bill Bates: Does anyone care to speak one more time on this particular property? Ok, then we will move on to 6-12,is the applicant here? Oh, Dwight. Dwight Hume, Dwight Hume, 9101 Mountain View Lane, Spokane, 99218, I am on behalf of Dean Riddle who is in a nursing home at this time and I wanted to just point out a couple of things. We don't have any particular opposition or interest from others which frankly surprised me but if you look at your aerial of that in your packet, I wanted to point out, sorry, I had 5 minutes to get this ready for ya; we see a vacant piece of property to the south of it. That gentleman lives,he is a retired attorney. We talked to him about including that in the particular proposal and he opted not to at this time. The piece of property to the north is zoned Garden Office. It was just sold last fall, it was sold to Cancer Care Northwest. I believe they will be coming out of the ground as a facility this spring and that consumed the remaining piece of private property in the vicinity of the hospital. A lot of that property is vacant right now and belongs to hospital. A lot of the houses out there belong to the hospital or belong to a common owner. There is a lot of rentals and I think that is why we don't have any inquiries in attendance tonight concerning this matter. Absentee land owners. So I read the, the staff report, you've read it, it supports the proposal it be approved. My emphasis to you is to understand the vacancy around it is really not what you're seeing as vacant land or available land. It's not. There is always a lot of demand to have of�ces in pro�mity to the hospital and this is why it is proposed at this time and it can be used in the same manner. Like your other OS proposal This is a vicinity that even Kathy McClung once mentioned to me that we need to get out there and maybe should do a subarea study for a hospital district because there is going to be an ongoing need for more and more office space out there and yet it is simply not available because of the ownership patterns. That is all I have to say. Any questions? John Carroll,Mr Chair? Bill Bates: yes John Carroll: Dwight, Did we just change that parcel to north in the last 2 years? Didn't we just change that one? Mr. Hume: I don't remember when that got done, it wasn't done by me. It's been a few years though, I remember a Doctor asking me something about that that was going to move there and that was three years ago anyway. John Carroll: thank you. Bill Bates: Dwight,what did you say the property was just south zoned for? Mr. Hume: Well it is another similar residential zone property at this time but it is vacant and the owner lives in Twin Falls, Idaho. He is aware of this. He and Mr. Riddle were both approach by Cancer Care's realtor to see if they would sell their in lieu of this other piece that they ended up buying. In retrospect Page 15 of 30 what they found out that is was being used to bring the price down on the piece they bought and the excuse was that you guys have to go through an annual amendment. We don't know if you'll get it. Have a nice day. So it woke some people up, Mr. Riddle included and said let's do something. I don't live there anymore and so here we are tonight. Bill Bates: any questions for Dwight? Thank you. Joe Stoy: Looks like Levi Johnson? Levi Johnson, Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Levi Johnson I live at 12815 E Desmet, Spokane Valley, 99216. That address places me just two houses to the east of this proposed development.. Let me just say I am totally in favor of the development on this property, having been a friend to Mr. Riddle for many years. My only concern on this, I would like to make sure that there is no traffic access onto Virginia, which is a street bordering to the east of that property. It's called a street it's more like an under developed alley however it is on County and City maps as a street. A situation arose there and still is, on that street Boone Avenue which goes away from it to the first property to the west. There are a number of rentals sitting there. The drivers will spin that way, for 37 or 38 years when I am around. Prior to Mr. Riddle's fence and prior to the City putting up a barricade on Virginia, is kind of a thoroughfare ilLicit traffic there. Travelers use it as a high speed shortcut. A lot of it came from those rentals on Boone from taking a shortcut. My contention is this, I don't know the exact measurements but there is nearly 200 ft of frontage there on Vercler. Now Vercler is not what you would call a high use arterial but it is an arterial none the less, (said something would not understand) to Pines and so forth..I believe there is adequate traffic, a little busy there particularly for this designation as office to handle any need for traffic. I would to approve this with reservation that there would be no vehicle access onto Virginia or Desmet. Given that the group of houses, on that street, Pve been there 48 years, there are probably 10 people who have been there longer than I have, we are no longer young kids, on the other hand we no longer move very fast and would have to dodge high speed traffic when we're backing out of the street. That is my concern that it be written that no vehicle access onto Virginia from that that piece of property, I feel there are a few others that totally adequate to allow access on to Vercler. Thank you. . Bill Bates: Thank you Mr. Johnson. Rustin Hall: Just one question regarding Virginia St, is that a full right-of-way that is just partially developed? Christina Janssen: it appears from the map it is half of a dedicated right-of-way. Rustin Hall: about 30 feet? (Christina nods her head) Ok, thank you. Joe Stoy: Adriane, I think it's Brace? Larry Click Larry Click, I am Larry Click, I live at ll 19 N Vercler. I live right across the street, our house is right across the street and my main concern is that between S:OOam and 7:OOpm, Vercler is a freeway to the hospital. Everybody is running 5 minutes late and if we convert this land to office and put up another office then we'll have 40 or 50 cars coming down our street. My son lives next door and he's got two daughters, very young daughters and we never know when they are going to be out in the street. I have 5 grandkids that come to our house quite often because they all live here in the Spokane Valley. They like to ride their bikes and I have problems with that. Boone is an active street. Everybody takes Boone down Page 16 of 30 to Vercler, south to Broadway because then they don't have to stop at the stop sign on Pines and Broadway. We get a lot of traffic going that way. Pve lived in that place for 42 years, since 1969. If somebody comes in and puts an office building in there, two, three, four stories, I don't care, I don't want to open my windows and see office that just sits there. I like seeing country the whole time. I hope it don't change. Everything south of Boone on Vercler is residential use except when you get all the way down to Broadway. (he says something about a through street and something else I cannot understand) I hope it don't change, of course, I don't have a say about that. Ok, thank you. Bill Bates: thank you Mr Click. Anyone else wish to speak on this pacific property, 6-12? K, seeing none we will move on to CPA-7-12. Is the applicant here? Joe Stoy: Kristine Payne. Kristin Payne —Good evening, my name is Kristen Payne and I am the owner of 617 N Moore Rd, 99037. I want to thank you for having a public hearing for the residents in this area. My backyard looks out over CPA-07-12. I am a single mother and I became a homeowner for the first time when I purchased my property about two years ago. At that time my home was a HUD repo. Over the last 8 months Pve spent considerable time, resources and care updating my property and contributing to the beauty and quality of the neighborhood. When I purchased my property I chose the location for the bene�t of my children. My two daughters, age 7 and 9, enjoy our large quiet backyard, our privacy, and peaceful street where they can ride their bikes currently. My concern about the proposed changes for CPA-07-12 include our loss of privacy, light pollution flooding our bacicyard from the compression (something), increased street traffic and potential loss of safety for my children. I believe this proposal will change greatly my family's standards of living and peace of mind while at home. If of�ce zone remains as it is, it is more likely that the noise behind my home would be less severe than if it were changed. Less light pollution would exist and the nights and weekends when the office wasn't in operation would allow to be more peace during those times. So the difference between commercial and office in my mind is great because of the light pollution and also the increased traffic even on nights and weekends. Pm asking the commissioners to please consider what they would want for their own families if they were in my same situation. Thank you. Bill Bates: Thank you. Joe Stoy: Tim Severns Tim Severns, My name is Tim Severns, I live at 6ll N Moore. I have some concerns about the full commercial zoning in this area. Currently this area is directly across the street south of the strip mall and Walmart is right there and so on. There is a good portion of the year and parts of the day which leaving a commercial establishment in this particular zoning area it would be almost impossible to get back to Sullivan Rd. Currently anywhere from Black Friday through December and Saturdays and Sundays and so on the traffic absolutely gets backed up really, really bad in front of Walmart right there and of course Lowes Kohl's is further down the way. For businesses in the full commercial zoning light, I guess, . Someone could not travel west and get back on SulLivan Rd and would have to go through the same neighborhoods we are talking about right here. Down Moore Rd to the east and Alki, if there not set up for that type of traf�c. Many people here have expressed their uniqueness of the area. I really feel like with the increased traf�c and the way the roads are set up and without sidewalks, it really is choking the neighborhood and I beseech the Planning Commission to take a serious look at that. The full commercial Page 17 of 30 aoning would be a real detriment to the livelihoods of the people there, of the safety of children and the nature of the neighborhood itself. Thank you Bill Bates: Thank you Mr. Severns, anyone else wishing to speak to this specific property 7-12? Yes Ma'am. Kelly Johnson, Good evening I am Kelly Johnson I a realtor with John L Scott, my address is 18ll S Madison. 99203. I am actually here on behalf of Jim Spurgettis this evening he is one of the petitioners on this rezone. I represented Mr. Stieger who is the main petitioner on the rezone, a little over the past year. It was actually me who suggested to him that he wanted to do the rezone simply because the types of buyers we had for that property were commercial in nature. It is currently zoned as office and certainly there can be some retail in there and some office use which of course would increase traffic and these are the concerns people have mentioned this evening, however most of the things that would be in there such as storage, car wash, something that is outside that zoning which I don't think would increase the kinds of traffic and some of the pollutions and some of the things that maybe some of the residents in the area have concerns for. But everybody that wanted to purchase the property wanted to purchase it for some kind of commercial that was above and beyond that.. Light retail which might have been more like a boutique store or some kind of office like dentist or optical or something along those lines. At this point in time I wanted to give you an idea what kind of buyers were looking at that kind of property. If you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer those. Thank you. Bill Bates: Thank you Miss Jones. Anyone else wishing to speak on this specific property? Yes,ma'am Katherine Potter: Katherine Potter, 622 N Moore, although my property does not butt up against this parcel in question Pd just like to offer my opposition in support of my neighbors who live right across the street. We are looking at these things like a package deaL I know you're going to be offering recommendations and City Council is voting on this separately. If you look at these three specific things, CPA-03, OS and 07, they are basically choking our neighborhood there and you've completely surrounded us. So kind of supporting what our neighbor said before, What would you do if this was your home? What exactly would you do to protect it? What exactly do you want to do to our neighborhood? Is this going to be the end of our neighborhood? Is that what you want? Because that is the direction it is going? This is a pretty big decision that you need to make on these properties so please weigh the evidence carefully. Bill Bates Thank you Ms Potter JOHN CARROLL: I have a question for staff if I may, changing this would that make Pioneer a non conforming use? The daycare? MIKE BASINGER No BILL BATES: Anyone else wishing to speak? Ok, anyone wishing to speak on any of the parcels that didn't get a chance prior to this? K, seeing none we will close the public hearing at 8:10 p.m. I am sorry we have the city initiate amendments. Anyone wishing to speak on, (sidebar whispering,which cannot be understood) if, if there is no objection,we'll take the same order in our discussions that we had the public input so we will start with CPA-02-12. Do I hear a motion? MARCIA SANDS Mr. Chair are we going to move on these individually? BILL BATES: Mike because each one has a CPA number, do we each take them individually? Page 18 of 30 MIKE BASINGER I think it might be appropriate,but it is entirely up to the planning commission. BILL BATES: what's,what's you're JOHN CARROLL: I think that each separately would BILL BATES: ok so let's start with 01-12, do I hear a motion? STEVE NEILL: Mr. Chair I move that we pass CPA-01-12. JOE STOY: second. DEANNA GRIFFITH: I am sorry but you cannot make a motion to pass,you can only make a motion to recommend approval to the city council. So could you please restate the motion? STEVE NEILL: sorry about that. Mr. Chair I move that we recommend to the city council to pass CPA- 01-12. BILL BATES: do I hear a second? JOE STOY: second BILL BATES: discussion, any discussion on this one. MARCIA SANDS: we have 3 emails here that I would just like to point out that are all in opposition. Quiet character of the community is now threatened, another one that discusses quiet dead end street, worry about traffic, then the third one, states that they don't feel that the Creighton's have been responsible landlords, and are worried about having a four-plex upon the property. I just think that needed to be pointed out. JOHN CARROLL: It is a natural continuation of the high density growth there. Looks like a natural extension BILL BATES: I would tend to agree with Mr. Carroll. The surrounding area is compatible to the change. STEVE NEILL: it looks like across the street it looks like a multifamily of various apartments anyway so, I can't see this a problem. JOE STOY: Yea, I drove the area last week and Ya, there are several duplexes, several multifamily complexes in the area so I agree with Commissioner Carroll that yea, it is just a natural progression to allow that to happen BILL BATES: any other comments? Seeing none, all in favor say Ai, (noise) Opposed, No, motion passes. CPA-02-12 Do I have a motion? JOHN CARROLL: I move to recommend approval to the City Council MARCIA SANDS: second BILL BATES: discussion? Page 19 of 30 JOHN CARROLL: it is nice to see a comment from the neighbors, that the guy is a good neighbor and wants to continue on. BILL BATES: seemed to me the use on this property has been going on for a long time and it is a natural progression for the activity for the area. So I am in favor of supporting this. ROD HIGGINS: likewise BILL BATES: anymore discussion? All those in favor say Ai, noise, No, motion passes. CPA-03-12, need a motion JOE STOY: Mr Chair I uh approve CPA-03-02 to be presented to the city council for their approval. BILL BATES: do we have a second? STEVE NEILL: second BILL BATES: comments ROD ffiGGINS: Mr. Chair, I have a question for staf£ It has been pointed out that there are 3 parcels right at the same general vicinity, Mr. Hume during his presentation noted that a subarea study is needed here. I wonder if staff could very briefly describe to the council and the public what that would mean, how that process would work. the time frame for that. Mike Basinger: so in regards to a subarea study, first city council would first need to direct staff to look into a subarea plan of such. Where we look into maybe how those existing land use designations are working for the area, to date staff has not been directed to look into that area. Just by, if you look that there is separately three privately initiated map amendments, we can see there is a need for some change in the area. These are not able to be marketed as such based on what the applicants have said. I think there is a need to look at the area as a whole but we have not been directed to so today. The process would take some time, just like what we are going through tonight. It would need to be initiated by council and we would have to go through a type of process of what makes the most sense in that area, go through the Planning Commission, City Council and approval. ROD HIGGINS: So whatever conclusion came out of that process it could still be amended this year then? as part of this process? It's not kicking it to another session or ne�year's discussion. MIKE BASINGER: Because a subarea plan was not included in this year's docket we ha�e not identified if there is enough staff time to do it. I would argue that we have not done enough analysis so that would have to be for another date. BILL BATES: any other comments? JOHN CARROLL: I know we are hammering away at the Moore neighborhood here it seems like but I know this particular land use category has a particular buffering standard that the other ones do, that would protect the folks there on Moore, al little bit but in that respect, but that is a very short piece that we are offering the protection for. That would give a little bit. MARCIA SANDS: my concern for turning Broadway into another Argonne north of the freeway. It really doesn't have the capacity for that. I don't know what to do about it but you know Pve driven by it, Page 20 of 30 down Broadway and Conklin,there is a lot of traffic for those little roads. Broadway's been improved for it but Conklin still pretty small and residential. But I do see that this particular parcel needs some type of zoning that can be used. BILL BATES: anymore comments? I too think about the residents in this area and increase traffic and things, I think, think this is a natural progression in our city and our valley, Broadway has a lot heavier traffic now, when Sullivan is closed down for something people use these other roads, but our business community has moved east, there is no doubt about that, this is in my mind the hub of retail area in our city at this time. I would tend to support this change to commercial, I think it is needed. Any other comments? All those in favor say Ai, opposed,No,motion passes. Next will be CPA-04-12,N 805 Park Rd to neighborhood commercial. Do I hear a motion? MARCIA SANDS: Mr. Chair I would like to forward CPA-04-12 on to City council for approval JOE STOY: second BILL BATES: discussion, comments, JOE STOY: this is one of those little lots that has been vacant for several, several years. There is new development to the south where that new industrial building to the south was built, there is proposed new development with the neighborhood commercial to the east on that large piece of property, um, the gentleman said he wants to do a small neighborhood type building on that, I think it is a good use for that property, the house itself is very, very small so I don't even think it would be capable of even being used back as a residence. It might be a 3-400 sf building on there. So I support this change. STEVE NEILL: this is actually one that I am glad to see, cause that is an eyesore, and I would love to see a business go in there, creating jobs, creating revenue for the city. I think it is a very good area for that. So I am all in favor of this. MARCIA SANDS: I think a neighborhood zone for this is perfect. I think it would support the community that is there and help to solidify the neighborhood. ROD HIGGINS: it seems to be a natural progression at that intersection. We just talked about that property to the east of it. Here within the last year or two. Make sense. BILL BATES: I feel the same way, I am here to support this. All of those in favor say Ai, opposed no, motion carries. CPA-OS-12,need a motion. Steve Neill: Mr. Chair I move that we forward this CPA-OS-12 to the city counciL For approval. BILL BATES: second. Comments on this one Marcia Sands. Sands. Marcia Sands: this is not the first time I have had the opportunity to listen to an impassioned neighborhood talk about the character of the neighborhood and it always amazes me how much people love their neighborhoods and I think it is a great thing. One of the things, just to give the PC some history that the way I remember it, is when we were talking about the zoning of the City, the residential neighborhoods physically, one of the things that was really important was to retain character of the valley. We really do have a unique character here. Part of that character is the views, the open spaces, and we all know it is filLing in, it is going to change but I do feel that the one thing we have the opportunity to do Page 21 of 30 here on the PC and listening to the community is to help retain that character in what we recommend to the city council. We don't have any say in it ourselves but how we recommend things to city counciL I have driven though this neighborhood and it does have a very unique character to it. And that is what really attracts people here. I know it is next to a lot of the big box shopping, and that Broadway has gotten busy, and some of those road are going to ha�e to be dealt with, some of those roads have too much traffic already. But I think there are other ways that that property can develop it can develop into a PUD, which they can put a little higher density, single family homes it can go into. If it was a garden office it could go into for instance a retirement community so those are just examples so I don't think it is appropriate for high density housing it seems to me that the neighborhood has had significant turnover in residences, that stay there,it is not just an aging neighborhood that is going to go away eventually. There is a turnover in the people who live there and the people who bought there, they bought there because they like the neighborhood. So I don't think that HDR is the highest and best use for that property. That is my personal opinion. Bill Bates: This is a very difficult parceL I have driven the neighborhood, a number of times. Moore is a nice area. Conklin. But there are areas for improvement in this area, no doubt about it. Vacant housing and things like that. It is a large area, one of the things that someone mentioned, a number of people mentioned curing the public hearing was the school situation. I wasn't aware of that. It made an impact on me that we are busing kids now. So if we chose to high density there is always that tra�c problem again. It, this is a tough one. There are other apartments in the area. So that I am really torn on this one. Other opinions. Steve Neill: Well I agree this is very difficult decision because I do look at this for a wonderful area for, I hate the word progression, but we can move forward with that. That is the way life is going. My personal experience when on 16rh there was housing apartments and high density complex put in, there was huge opposition to it. They went around asking for petitions just like you are doing and it came in anyway, and living by there, it has impacted traffic no doubt, but it has not impacted it so it is not livable or doable. I have not noticed an increase in crime. From my view point, I just haven't seen it. So in that part I am in favor I am just thinking it would be nice if we could have something instead of 400 and um, 234 dwellings, there could be less than that because we already have 120 vacancies. I did not know that. I did know about the school situation, I am glad you brought it to my attention. So, I think that this is one of the things that is an unfortunate price to pay for moving ahead. I think it is a viable thing even though it is hard on the neighborhood,it was hard on ours but I, I would go with it.. Rod Higgins: Mr. Chairman vacant property it has been my experience is like a vacuum, which nature abhors. People do bad things on property that is just standing there and nobody is doing anything with it. It attracts garbage, it attracts all kinds of strange things. I heard hawks and eagles on the property, that is kind of neat. I have been on the property twice to the extent of I drove down Sonora, I drove down the cul-de-sac, I live in a cul-de-sac, and I got out of my car, and I walked on the property. I thought, something needs to be here. If I lived here, I would want something to be here. The question is, do I want that much to be here. Like Steve I don't know that there is a good answer to this. There is a good adage you are either growing or dying. I look at the vacant houses out there and I see I wonder who is going to take advantage of that and make crack houses out of it. These are the things that go through your mind, don't know. Don't know. Anyway, progress is progress is progress and I don't know. I feel for you. As Mr. Keaton said a long time ago, I feel (then can't understand)Yea, I don't Page 22 of 30 Joe Stoy: I have also driven by this neighborhood extensively and I live in the valley and I have been on both sides of the podium. I have been on the opposition side as well and the proponent side. So, I appreciate all you guys comments this evening. It brings a lot of light to things. But we also have to look at other aspects of there is 10 acres of undeveloped ground as Mr. Higgins said, you know they end up being ketchup, catch-alls for a bunch of other stuff that is not supposed to be there. Doing something with a piece of property makes it less likely it to be that type of unusable piece of ground. There again, like I said, I go up this area, it is a very nice neighborhood. Myself I live in a very small neighborhood. As well I think I am the youngest person in my neighborhood and I think I have lived there 27 years. So I understand where you guys are coming from as far as neighbors knowing neighbors. But I think we need to look at what is the best use, and is the use the applicant has applied for work? and we have relied on information from you guys and information from staff to make that recommendation to the city council, but we think it is going to be a good thing for this piece of property to recommend as this has been presented. BILL BATES: Mr. Carroll,you have some thoughts? John CarrolL• Mr. Crapo's letter said a lot. Said a lot of things that are apropos to this site down there on 4`h the neighborhood is under attack from the north. The Moore neighborhood there, should be protected. That is not changing, it is a good neighborhood, it is a solid neighborhood. And I can support this action if there was some assurance there was more buffering between the high density and the low density and we don't have that there. Under the project down on 4`h, the developer's agreement brought that extra buffering in and it was a more smooth transition and both sides got the best part of it and both side got the optimum deal on both sides. Now Mr. Crapo being the first guy out of the barrel, it took him longer to do it, because he had to wait for council, who was also learning, but I think that those learning issues aside, those learning issues aside, this could be brought about very quickly and the Moore neighborhood and Sonora, I say Moore but also Sonora could be protected and have a smoother transition from the low density to the higher density. Then one other thing that is trivial, that one little parcel that extends to the north there, that should be a continuation of the commercial just for consistency sake and since it is an entry way it doesn't make any difference anyway. But as this is, I don't think I can vote for it without some additional assurances regarding the buffering and additional transition. Marcia Sands: Mr Chair, I would like to add regarding Mr. Carroll's comments there. As I remember the property on 16`h we recommended that the city council deny it, the city council worked with the developer to come up with the buffering that worked for the community. My fear is that if we recommend this for approval to the city council that won't happen. JOHN CARROLL: it was 4"',not 16`n MARCIA SANDS: oh yea. STEVE NEILL: I have a question BILL BATES: go ahead STEVE NEILL: how would we go about trying to get those recommendations in John? I don't know how we would go about doing it. Page 23 of 30 JOHN CARROLL: if we were to turn it down, part of our findings would say that not sufficient buffering. Then in our findings we would just spell that out, better buffering would make the project work and a developers agreement would accomplish that buffering for the life of the project. Otherwise more compromise BILL BATES: Scott is that something we can delay the vote on this property until there is an agreement between the developer Scott Kuhta: Scott Kuhta,planning manager for the city. What I would recommend doing is you could take this two ways. You could recommend approval, there are a few options. You could recommend approval as it sits, as the motion on the table stands, you could recommend denial and state your concerns, or you could recommend approval with the development agreement and then list the things you would like in the the development agreement. The council would take that recommendation and their choice would be to approve it, deny it or they could say well we want to do a development agreement with the developer, then the council would direct us to work out the issues they would lay out. I think those are your options really, the PC would not negotiate a development agreement, it would really be the council that we would have negotiate a development agreement, they you would lay out what you would like to see in the development agreement. BILL BATES: that makes sense. JOE STOY: I agree with John about the buffering. We need to protect this neighborhood. And additional buffering or additional landscape requirements or something. So I agree with Scott's recommendation recommend to the city council with development agreements. SK: if I may interrupt if you are considering this, you might consider delaying the final decision until you have some more time to think about what that might mean to you and to the development agreement, if that is the way you are going to go. I am not sure which way it is yet,until there is more discussion and a vote. But we have other,you might take a while to get through those issues tonight and you have some other ones you might want to talk about first though,but that is up to the planning commission. ROD HIGGINS: that is where I am. Really the big picture. You know this is about property rights of the residential components and there are the rights of the property in question, both need equal consideration. We have read though the report, it is vacant for a reason, it is not marketable the way it is currently zoned, at the same time, goodness sakes, we have an out pouring here, this is a very special residential area. And although it is tough to put that in a report,you certainly get that this is not going to be taken lightly or quickly. John you kind of took the words out of my mouth, is there some kind of a compromise, I need to give this more thought. We had great input on this tonight but I would follow along with what Scott recommended and not pass this one on quite yet. BILL BATES: I think we have agreement on taking more time on this. To have some specifics for a developmental agreement and Pm agreeing Rustin, we need more time on this one and so I am for setting this one aside at the present time we will discuss it later, we will get our thoughts together on the development. The things we think are important as John indicated the landscaping and that type of thing. ROD ffiGGINS: and fortunately we have had the forethought to see that this might go this way and they have given us another meeting slot to further discuss this as needed. So we will postpone this one, is that what I am hearing. Page 24 of 30 DEANNA GRIFFITH: Excuse me, I think you will just want to continue this motion. BILL BATES: to continue that,we will need a date specific DEANNA GRIFFITH: and your date specific would be March g`n BILL BATES does it require a vote on that. DEANNA GRIFFITH: yes. BILL BATES: do I hear a motion? Rod Higgins: I move we postpone this speci�c issue DEANNA GRIFFITH: postpone this motion to March 8t. ROD HIGGINS: March 8`t'meeting BILL BATES: All those in favor say Ai, opposed no,motion carries DEANNA GRIFFITH: you only have 15 minutes left, so I don't know if you want to continue the rest of these amendments BILL BATES: what are your thoughts: JOHN CARROLL: I move that we extend the meeting to 9:30 p.m. JOE STOY: second BILL BATES: any discussion of that? All those in favor say Ai, opposed no, motion carry, we will go until 9:30, so the next one will be 6, CPA-06-12, Where is my sheet here? Do I hear a motion? Joe Stoy: Mr. Chair I recommend CPA-06-12 be presented to City Council as presented to us by staff. ROD HIGGINS: second BILL BATES: discussion JOHN CARROLL: Mr. Chair I have a question for staff if I may, BILL BATES: sure John Carroll: is Virginia a dedicated ROW,if so from where to where? JOE STOY: it looks like it goes from Cataldo to Desmet Christina Janssen: It is half of the dedicated ROW from Cataldo to Desmet. Actually I look at my map, to the north boundary of my subj ect property. JOE STOY: oh it does continue north Christina Janssen: yes,half. Page 25 of 30 JOHN CARROLL: that was my question ROD HIGGINS: Mr. Chair,may I ask a question of staff BILL BATES: yes of course ROD HIGGINS: same ROW as previous question there. Because it is only a half of a ROW width, as it was pointed out earlier, would that cause you to put some sort of limitation on access on and off the property using that ROW? Since it is there, it is not a big piece of property, there is no real reason to restrict vehicular access in that ROW. MIKE BASINGER: as the commission knows we look at those kinds of things at the time of development and it is hard to determine what Development Engineering would recommend. My assumption would be that access would be off of Vercler and not off that half of ROW, there may be emergency access there,maybe with a gate,but I can't speak for development engineering Kelly Konkright: Mr. Chair Deputy City Attorney Konkright, a point of clarification, the commission is going to move this matter forward they will need to amend their motion,just a technical error, the motion didn't, it was only a motion to present the CPA-06-12 to the council to the commission but we will do need a recommendation to the council as to whether approve or deny, 06-12, The motion that was made was just to present it to council as it was presented to the commission, but the motion needs to be to present it with the recommendation of approval or a recommendation of denial and that motion wasn't made. BILL BATES: So we need another motion, Kelly Konkright: so if you could amend your motion JOE STOY: Ok, I will amend my motion to recommend to the city council approval of CPA-06-12 ROD HIGGINS: second the amendment BILL BATES: any discussion, all those in favor say Ai, opposed say no. The amended motion then carries. MARCIA SANDS: Mike what would it take to perhaps consider a street vacation on Virginia at the same time. MIKE BASINGER that would be a separate process that we would have to run through, so doing that at the same time, really wouldn't be a possibility. Doing a street vacation does require separate noticing, requires a process that is identified in our code. I think that is something that maybe the development might want to consider but I can tell you this, that the city generally doesn't like to vacate their ROW,it is something we like to keep a hold of in case it is needed in the future. ROD HIGGINS: Mr. Chair, a comment I support this motion, again I see this as a nature progression of the land use along Vercler and I know there is some concern about traffic, and I brought it up once again, however just thinking about that use and how it would develop and how it would access, it is going to very likely be off of Vercler and so I don't think that is really, in my mind a problem. BILL BATES: other thoughts. Page 26 of 30 JOHN CARROLL: it would also probably force a decision on Virginia BILL BATES: I agree with Mr. Hall that this is a natural progression from what it is to office, I intend to support this. Any other comments. All those in favor say Ai, opposed No, motion carries. CPA-07-12 Do I hear a motion? John CarrolL• I recommend we approve to city council CPA-07-12 as presented, did I say recommend approval? BILL BATES: yes ROD HIGGINS: second. BILL BATES: discussion, comments JOHN CARROLL: Natural change JOE STOY: yea, I agree, with Commissioner Carroll. The concerns that I have, if anybody has driven by this on a Sunday, that parking lot is packed, so if what are we going to do on a Sunday, that is my concern, cause it is a parking lot right now. How is that going to be handled if this becomes offices or retail uses. Cause that is going to be a little more impact as far as the parking requirement. But it is a natural progression of the commercial zones along Broadway and extensions off of Sullivan corridor. STEVE NEILL: that church I think has 7-800 people I don't think you are going to get more people than that shopping,pretty much anywhere. I don't think the traffic would be as much. I do support this simply because, I see this, like you said a natural progression, it is just the way that is. so I, hate to say this but mention that the traffic was less on the weekends there because I have driven to the church before and dude that is like crammed. So um, I don't have a problem passing or agreeing with. ROD HIGGINS: it was nice hearing from the realtor on this one,you have to listen to what the market is driving and clearly, this needs to be a commercial property not garden office. We need to listen to that and embrace it. This one does not nearly have the impact negatively on the residential in this case buffered somewhat by what is already zoned. BILL BATES: this is a natural progression, it is a retail area now so I intend to support this. Is there any other comments, Joe, all those in favor say Ai, opposed No, motion carries. Now we have city text amendments. CPA-08-12 Joe Stoy: Mr. Chair I make a motion to recommend to city council approval of CPA-08-12. ROD HIGGINS: second BILL BATES: discussion?Any thoughts on this one? Any thoughts on this one? JOE STOY: it is pretty much a progression of keeping up with the current times. BILL BATES: it is updating and revision and updating maps and it's a natural thing that needs to be done. Rod Higgins: Mr. Chairman Page 27 of 30 BILL BATES: yes, Mr. Higgins, ROD HIGGINS: I will support the motion as made which I seconded however, when reading these reading these amendments, it occurs to me, especially in Chapter 2 land use, under tab 12, we are woefully behind the times and I would suggest and succeeding sections be amended in their entirety. I have an handout here which I am suggesting we pass on to the city council because if we do such a thing, it is going to require time, and about as we can get direction from the city council on this, then we can get started because it will take us right up to that window in 2013. BILL BATES: thank you Mr. Higgins. This obviously is for next year. ROD HIGGINS: to go along with this motion. BILL BATES: yes, sure, did everyone get a copy. DEANNA GRIFFITH: I can make copies so that everyone can have one. STEVE NEILL: one thing that I think you should be aware of part of the city center, that is mentioned in here,if we were to revise that, take that part out, I believe it would have to go through public meetings for that, I believe it would be a very large undertaking. MIKE BASINGER: In looking at this it seems as if we are looking to staff to add something to the 2013 docket that would initiate staff to revise the land use chapter and I think that is an appropriate request. I don't think you have to make the recommendation at this point in time. I think city council is very receptive to PC concerns and city council is a citizen of the Spokane Valley so making request of the docket is an appropriate thing to do. I guess what I am getting at is that I don't think you should feel pressed to make this decision tonight,it can be added to the 2013 docket, and likely it will be. ROD HIGGINS: my concern Mike, is time. In talking this over with John Hohman, about as quickly as city council would consider it and they will have to give some direction on it that would set the staff in motion, but if we delay we right up against that time line again, where we really don't have time to do anything. So mike help me with the time. BILL BATES: So Mike, how is the best way to handle this thing? Are you suggesting that this not be a part of what we are doing here? MIKE BASINGER: it certainly could be, I am suggesting that you don't have to make a decision tonight for it to be added to the 2013 docket is all I was suggesting JOHN CARROLL: I am not going to make any decision until I have had a chance to read this and read what it is referring to. We don't need to make another decision from another place of great ignorance. DEANNA GRIFFITH: Councilmember Higgins, I am aware that you and Mr. Hohman had a discussion about this. Did he suggest that we should add this to this amendment or that we should just bring this up this evening? ROD HIGGINS: no he did not suggest that it be an amendment. What I mentioned to him was that I intended to bring it up tonight, I didn't see it as an amendment actually, I intended to bring it up after we actually passed this as simply and addendum for the council to read.

All parts of the Comprehensive Plan can be amended during the annual cycle. The Community Development Department received seven requests for site-specific Comprehensive Plan amendments for 2012. Sites approved for a Comprehensive Plan amendment will automatically receive a zoning designation consistent with the new land use designation. The 2012 Comprehensive Plan text amendments include amendments to four Comprehensive Plan Elements: Chapter 2 - Land Use, Chapter 3 — Transportation, Chapter 4 — Capital Facilities and Public Services, and Chapter 7 —Economic Development. The amendments may also entail minor changes to other elements referencing the proposed amendments. Staff presented the proposed amendments to the Planning Commission at a study session on February 16, 2012. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the amendments on February 23, 2012. The Planning Commission continued the public hearing to March 8, 2012 for further deliberations. Staff presented the proposed amendments the City Council on Apri124, 2012.

In May of 2012 an administrative report and power point presentation was given to Council to discuss for advancement to first reading. BACKGROUND: The local adoption of the State Building Code is required by RCW 19.27.031. Title 24.40 is the City's code that adopts the State Building Codes and defines the City's local amendments. Title 24.40 has not been updated in many years. The proposed amendments will help reduce staff administration time by: • Adding proposed language to lengthen the time building applications and permits are valid • Eliminating the need for future SVMC amendments when State adopts new codes at three year code cycle, • Locating all administrative provisions to the beginning of Chapter 24.40, • Correcting wrong code editions, • Removing fee references that conflict with the current Master Fee Schedule, OPTIONS: Move forward to a second reading, with or without amendments. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move to advance Ordinance 12-016, amending Spokane Valley Municipal Code Title 24, to a second reading.

Report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Letter Agreement - Splashdown Lease 2012 Amendment GOVERNING LEGISLATION: PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: In May, 2009, the City executed a new agreement with Splashdown Concessions Inc. (Splashdown), for the lease of park property to Splashdown for the purposes of operating a water park. That agreement replaced a five year agreement between Spokane County and Splashdown entered into in 2002. The first agreement was entered into in 1982, and then renewed for another 10 years in 2002. BACKGROUND: The City negotiated the new contract in 2009. It used a different methodology for calculating cost than what had been used previously. In the prior contracts, the City (and County prior to incorporation) calculated the lease amount on the percentage of sales by Splashdown. Specifically, Splashdown was to pay the City 10% of gross revenue up to $300,000, and 5% of gross revenue over that amount, excludinq concessions. Additionally, Splashdown paid 15% of concessions. Lastly, Splashdown had a separate lease agreement for use of the parking lot on the south side of Mission Avenue, which is where Splashdown customers were supposed to park. The Kelloggs had difficulty providing information under the previous methodology sufficient to demonstrate what the payments to the City should be. Additionally, the Kelloggs requested use of the main parking lot immediately adjacent to Mission Park instead of only having use of the lot on the south side of Mission. Staff proposed in the new contract that the cost methodology be based on an average of the total annual payments made over the prior few years for admissions and concessions, with a modest escalator over time. It also rolled what had been a separate charge for the south parking lot into the single payment. As such, the parties agreed in 2009 to a new agreement whereby Splashdown was to pay the City a flat fee of $40,000 per year for 2009 and 2010, $43,000 for 2011 and 2012, and then $46,000 for each year thereafter for the remaining six years. At the end of the first ten year period, the payments would be reviewed and adjusted by consent of both parties. Splashdown has had some difficulty in meeting the new lease obligations, failing to timely make some payments in 2010 and 2011. Splashdown recently asked the City to consider lowering the lease payment, based in large part on the fact that their gate admissions have been significantly reduced since 2009. Staff concurred that if Splashdown made all payments due from 2010 we would consider a reduction in lease obligations. Additionally, any future reduction would only be in effect if Splashdown adheres to a repayment schedule for 2011 payments past due. Staff has looked at attendance numbers for the pool and aquatic centers for the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane and Spokane County since 2009. It appears that there has been a significant change in market conditions since early 2009, which was not contemplated by the parties. Spokane reconstructed many of its pools in 2009 — 2011, which are now open. Spokane County constructed its southside aquatic center in 2008, and Spokane Valley added a water feature to each of its pool facilities in the summer of 2008, which opened full time in 2009. Staff has collected the attendance figures for the three jurisdictions, as well as those for Splashdown for the Council's consideration. Splashdown has requested that the City reduce the annual lease payment so that it can continue to operate. As stated above, this year's payment is scheduled to be $43,000, and next year and each subsequent year would be $46,000. Splashdown has requested that the City consider taking action prior to its season opening on May 25, 2012. OPTIONS: Move to authorize the City Manager to sign the lease amendment as noted, or take other action deemed appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the Splashdown lease amendment consistent with the signed letter agreement. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: City revenues would be reduced by any reduction in lease payments.

That the proposal is generally located 1n Va]ley Mission Park, east of Pierce Rvad, ad�acent and north of Mission Avenue. Parking area is south of Mission Avenue. Parcel N's 09543-0606 and 16542-0320. 2. That the proposal consists of a condit9onal use request for a com- munity waterslide, hot tubs, and small concession area as well as a conditianal use request for an associated 228 car off-street parking facility across Mission Avenue from the slide and park area. � • 3. That the adopted Spokane County Generalized Camprehensive Land Use Plan indicates Urban usage of the area encompassed by the proposal. 4. That the slte is zoned Agriculturat-Suburban and Agricultural. ' 5. That the existing land uses in the area of propasal include the exist- ing Valley Mission Park, single family residences to the south of the parking area, multiple family residences to the southeast, single family res9dences to � • the west and the park and Interstate 90 to the north. 6. That the applicant suhmitted an Environmental Checklist which was re- viewed by the Zoning A�ustor and a Prellminary Declaration of Non-5ignificance was issued for this pre�ect on March 15, 1983. The Proposed Declaration was circulated to thirteen local and state agencies for comments and cancerns re- _ garding the oroposal. No agencies have recomnended that the Proposed Decl,aration be chanqed. i ` 7. The applicant has entered into a lease agreement with Spokane County . �� which allows for the operation of the waterslide activity on County property sub- ,�ect to certain conditions. � 6. That the wateslide activity is proposed to operate on 100 day seasons beginning on Memorial D�y (May 30) and concluding on Labar Day. The daily operation of the slide activity would run from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. 9. To handle traffic at the park, the app]icant proposes development of a parking area of initially 2.5 acres which mqy be expanded ta 5 acres if warranted by parking demand. 1D. That the proposal is a Conditional Use within the Agricultural-Suburban zone under Sections 4.24.300 and 4.24.310 of the 5pokane County Zoning Ordinance. Additionally, the praposed uses comply with the dimensional and location standards for these uses as noted in Zaning Ordinance Provision 4.24.300 (a) (2) (1); mini- `�'� mum lot size: 12,500 square feet, and 4.�24.310 (b) (1); m9nimum lot size; 7,500 square feet, (b) (2) [the parking area must abut or be directly acrass the street from the property served 6y the parking area]. 11. Pub11c testimony from rtwre than a dozen resddents voiced strong concern over the development of the waterslide and parking facility. Ch9ef concerns were that the proposal is a comonercial use in a residential area. The parking lot which 1s located near residential uses will not be compatible with them due to noise, littering, lights and substantially increased traff9c. � . �� , , -- 1 FINDINGS aF FACT, DECISION AND CONDI7IONS CUE-5-83 PAGE 2 12. The description of the proposal establlshes that the proposed water- s7ide facility is primarily a recreational venture consistent with other park and playqround activities.. Further, this use has 6een found in keeping with the Spokane County Comprehensive Land Use Plan as indicated by a memo dated March 31, 1983 from the Spokane County Long Range Planning Administrator, 13. The Zoning Ad�ustor notes that pubtic testimony further indicated the park's present uses of a softball field, swimming poo1, picnic area, tennis . courts, etc.. already utilize most of the exist9ng parkina capacfty at the park during the spring, summer and fall. 14. The Zoning Ad,�ustor finds that the waterslide would contribute ed- ditional amounts of new traffic to'the irmrediate area which requires that a properly paved, fenced and landscaped parking facility be constructed to handle the anticipated traffic and parking needs as noted in the conditional use standards (4.24.300 62, b4 and 4.24.310 b5-9). � 15. That vehicular and pedestrian access to the site is proposed to be re- viewed and controlled by the 5pokane County Engineer's Office. The Engineers ° Office has further made recommendations for this use tu promote the public � health, safety and generaT wel�fare 1n its 9nitial operation. � 16. That the State Department of Social and Health Services has indicated � that the applicant must conform to State Wastewater Disposal regulations and construct all necessary facilities to properly dispose of this wastewatcr gen- erated by this use. 17. That is is difficult to predict in advance exactly the�traffic, park- inq and use demands created by the proposal as there has been no previous experience with this use in Spokane Caunty, 18. That to maintain compatibility of the project with ad�acent uses, the profect sfioutd be acCntnistratively reviewed by the Zoning Administrator after the initial season to determine if other reasonable conditions or 1lmitations should be attached for the continued use of the waters]ide and parking facility. ' 19. That the proposall, except as provided herein meets all current standards of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance for this use. 20. That the proper legal requirements for advertisin9 of the hearing be- fore the Zoning Ad,iustor of Spokane County have been met. , DECISION ' � t From the faregoing Findings. a review af the Planning Oepartment File No: ., CUE-5-83, testimony at the public hearing,.and a site v9s9t, the Zoning Adgustor " hereby in approving the proposal makes the follawinq conditions: Prior to occupanc.v permit rPlease and authorized use of the proqosed_ ac ty, t e app can s��l : A.

My personal contacts with the Spokane County Sherif�s Off'ice and Spokane Valley Police Department have overwhelmingly shown them to be caring and professional. Take my most recent experience. I was awakened by the doorbell. It was an officer from the Spokane Valley PD. Unfortunately, without my glasses on I could not see his name but he said he drives through the neighborhood ali the time. He knew that I did not normally leave my garage door open, but it was open now. Two things impressed me about this contact. The first was that although both the poiice department and Sherif�s Office are extremely understaffed, this officer was professional enough to recognize something different at one house out of hundreds. The second thing was that he was professional enough, and cared enough, to take the time to stop and teil me ahout it. Nobody would have given it a second thought if they had seen him just drive on by, waiting for his next emergency call. So I hope that The Spokesman-Review will take this opportunity to print this letter in recognition of a job wei! done."

Spokane Valley Property Crimes detectives responded to the scene and retrieved the stolen items, all of which were identified and retui-ned to their rightful owners. 1�he return of the items took longer than normal because none of the high-value items had been reported stolen. When detectives asked the property owners why they had not reported the thefts, the property owners said they had not gotten around to it. Citizens are asked to report any type of theft, suspicious vehicles or persons to either 9-1-1 or Crime Check. This information is extremely valuable and played a vital role with the multiple arrests made this weekend in Spokane Valley.

Not recognizing the two males, an alert neighbor reported the suspicious activity. Spokane Valley Sheriff s Deputies responded to the area. While en route, Deputy Ebel saw a vehicle matching the description neighbors had provided iraveting southhound on Argorule Road. The two occupants inside the vehicle also matched the description provided by neighbors. Deputy Ebel saw that the vehicle had expired tabs and initiated a traffic stop near the area of Liberty and A.rgonne Road. While speaking with the 28-year-old driver, he admitted that he and his friend were near the Guuning address looking for work. The male suspect later told deputies he had a heroin addiction and needed money to purchase more of the drug. Sheriffs Of�ice Burglary Task Force members responded to the scene and the male suspect gave team members permission to search the vehicle.

Anyone who has been a victim of theft is urged to look at photographs on either the Sheriffs Office web page or Facebook page. Victims who can identify their belongings are asked to call Crime Check at 509- 456-2233 and provide the report number from their reported theft. Victims will have to provide proof of ownership for the items. South Hill Burglary Arrests — In mid-April, Spokane Valley Sheriff's Deputies responded to a call of a gas drive off at 411 N Pines. A description of the van in the drive oFf was given and the van was located by Deputy Rick J'ohnson near Mission and Woodward. J'ohnson found the vehicle being driven by a 30-year-old male who had a suspended driver's license and admitted to the gas theR. Also in the car were a 50-year-old female suspect and a 27-year-old male suspect. While investigating the gas theft, Spokane Valley Sgt. Dave Martin recognized the color of the van listed on the registration did not match the color of the van the plates were on. A check of the VIN confirmed the van had been reported stolen in November 2011 in Liberty Lake. Deputies atso found the 30-year-old male suspect and female suspect to be in possession of checks in names other than theirs. The female suspect had an outstanding felony warrant for her arrest from the Moses Lake area. The vehicle was impounded for a search warrant and the female suspect and 30- year-old male suspect were brought to the Spokane Valley Precinct for questioning by detectives, Page 8 who are part of the Sheriff's Burglary Task Force. The 27-year-old male suspect was released at the scene. After extensive questioning of the male and female suspects, it was determined they had stolen checks from a garage on the South Hill, and that they had been forging the checks and depositing them at several local banks. They also determined that the couple used the proceeds to buy methamphetamine and gamble at Northem Quest Casino in Airway Heights. Detectives checked pawn histories from all suspecis and were able to link them to multiple other garage burglaries on the South Hill, Airway Heights, and the Otis Orchards area. The suspects also directed. detectives to a Toyota truck that had been stolen a week earlier in north Spokane and dumped near Broadway and Madelia by the suspects. The vehicle was recovered by the Spokane Police Department. That evening, the female suspect was booked on her warrant and the 30-year- old male suspect was booked for one count of forgery as detectives looked to confirm reports where the male suspect confessed to doing as many as 10-15 burglaries in recent months. Spokane Valley detectives then contacted o�icers &om the Spokane Police Departnaent's PACT team and advised they had probable cause to arrest the 27-year-old male suspect for his involvement in the South Hill burglaries. The PACT ieam had been investigating a rash of burglaries in apartment building garages on the South Hill over the last several months, and it appea,red the two male suspect were involved, if not entirely responsible for them. A couple days later, the PACT team located the 27-year-old male suspect in a vehicle parked at Wal-Mart in Airway Heights. The vehicle was being driven by a third male suspect and also was occupied by the 30-year-old suspect who had been released from custody just hours before on his forgery charge. The Sherif�'s Office Criminal Interdiction Team assisted at Wal-Mart and the 27- year-old and 30-year-old males were arrested on Spokane Valley detective's probable cause for $urglary 2"d Degree charges. They were brought to the Spokane Valley precinct for questioning. The Criminal Interdiction Team also seized the vehicle the suspects were in pursuant to a search warrant by the detectives. After further questioning by detectives both suspects admitted to multiple burglaries and other crimes. The 30-year-old suspect was also found to be in possession of inethamphetamine at the tiune of his arrest. He was booked on five counts of Burglary 2"� Degree and PCS methamphetamine, and the 27-year-old male was booked on two counts of Burglary 2°� Degree. Detectives anticipate multiple other charges of Burglary, Forgery, Possession of a Stolen Vehicles, Theft, Trafficking Stolen Property, and Possession of Controlled Substances, will follow for all of the suspects once the investigation is completed. Spokane Valley detectives again noied several burglaries they have solved were un-reported by the victims. This serves as another reminder that police have a very diff cult time solving crimes that are not reported in the first place and often the result is items stolen not being returned to their rightful owners. So far in this investigation all stolen items recovered have been returned to iheir owners, or the owners of the items have been identified. Burglary Arrested - In late April, Spokane County Sherif�s Deputies caught a prolific burglar who admits he's responsible for more than 20 residential break-ins. Detectives got their big break - � ��,� � „. �-- in the case from a camera used to capture big game, �:�,,�' ai +� ��L��'``' • but ended up bagging a trophy-sized crook instead. ,i'k ��L� � iF ti , �r � An ex-con with nine previous felony convictions �� '� �► ,� , � . told investigators he steals to support his '�'" '�"` _�;� ,_ methamphetamine habit. The 50-year-old suspect � f �, �' �� says that's what he was up to in early April when he sy '�� went to a Greenacres residence and broke inside . � 6 ,� , �, .. . F1� ��IR i s � � �� y� ��. Page 9 while no one was there. Detectives say the male suspect helped himself to $6,000 in jewelry and drove off not knowing that the awner of the house had installed a irail camera in his driveway. The camera, which is motion activated and takes pictw-es whenever something crosses in front of its sensor, picked up the image of a white Ford truck, including its license plate. That's the same description of a truck used to burglarize a Valley Chapel Road home while three young children were inside. Deputies believe they've caught a prolific burglar. "It not only gets that person in custody and helps us get some properly back, hopefully to the victims, but it also stops the potential for fiuther burglaries and further violence, potential violence towards ihe citizens out there," Spokane County Deputy Mark Gregory said. Deputies did recover jewelry stolen from the family with fihe game camera as well as property from other victims. The male suspect was being held without bond because these latest alleged crimes are a violation of his recent release from prison.

Deputy Assists in Dangerous Fire Incident - Chief VanLeuven received a letter from Spokane Valley Fire on 4/3/12, which read: Yesterday at 1245 hrs we had a report of a structure fire at the Village Apartments located at 9717 E. 6`". Deputy Tom R/alker was in the area and saw the fire locaied on the deck of an upper floor apartment. He ran up the stairs and kaocked on the door of the occupied apartment.The residents were unaware of the fire, and he assisted them in evacuating the apartment.He also alerted the rest of the residents in that building as well as the neighboring building to the Clre. Everyone was able to escape the fire safely. The fire started on an exterior deck of the top floor apartmeni and quickly spread to the attic of the structure.Deputy Walker was able to give an update of the£ire to the responding firefighters who were able to use this information to quickly ariack and extinguish the fire in the attic space of the building. Damage was (imited to the roof trusses and siding of the buiidi.ng. Deputy Walker's quick actions helped save the lives of the residents and gave responding firefighters the abiiity to save the possessions of the residents of the building. I would a]so Iike to thank you for the efforts of all the depuiies and SIRT team members who responded and assisted residents and provided traffic control at this fire. This was a successful outcome of a very dangerous fire i.n an occupied apartment. The fact that no one was htiu-t was the d'uect result of the cooperation our two agencies share. Page 10 Water Conditions Extremely Dangerous - On April l6th, the Spokane Cow�►ty Sheriffs Offce Emergency Operations Team {EOT') responded to a call of a canoeist overturned on Long Lake near the Nine Mile dam. 'I'hat incident was the 19th call out this year for the Sheriffs Offce EOT. The incident involved a 32-year-old male attempting to go fishing in his parents' 12' canoe. The canoeist was not familiar with the swift moving water and overlurned shortly after launching his canoe. Fortunately, the canoeist was wearing a life jacket and was swept nearly half a mile downstream before swimming to the shore. The canoeist was transported to a local medical facility for hypothermia. The Spokane County Sherif�'s O�ce EOT wants to stress to the public that the hazards and dangers of our current water levels are extremely dangerous. Water temperatures are hovering at or near 42 degrees in the Iakes and 37 degrees in the river.

Keep Valuables Out Of Plain Sight At Trailheads -The Spokane County Sheriffs Office wants to remind people using the Centennial Trail this sunu7ler to leave their valuables out of plain view inside their vehicle when parking at one of the trailheads. Deputy Jay Bailey checked several parked vehicles in the month of April at various locations on the trail in the City of Spokane Valley, and saw purses, backpacks and electronics in plain view. If you must keep fhese items in your vehicie, law en£orcement recommends leaving them in a secure area, such as a locked tcunk. And because there are people who sit in the parking lots of trail heads watching for persons to place items in their trunk, it is recommended you put your valuables in the trunk of your vehicle be ore you get to the trail head parking Iot.

Thank You Received via Email— "I wanted to thank the officer that helped us on April 12�', His ability to go beyond the call of duty and try to help resulted in my daughter being returned to me that evening by the people whose house they told us she was in. She is now up at Sacred Heart in the psychiatric ward and I know that if they hadn't helped us that night she might not have made it. Many blessings and love for Deputy Brownell's help!? Keep up the good work — you save lives and are a treasure!
