GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A, RCW 36.70B.170-210 and SVMC 19.30.015 PREVIOUS ACTION TAKEN: On July 3, 2012, no action was taken by City Council. BACKGROUND: CPA-05-12 is a privately initiated site-specific comprehensive plan map amendment requesting to change the designation from Medium Density Residential (MDR) with a Medium Density Multifamily Residential (MF-1) zoning classification to High Density Residential (HDR) designation with a High Density Multifamily Residential (MF-2) zoning classification. Staff presented CPA-05-12 to the Planning Commission at a study session on February 9, 2012. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the amendment on February 23, 2012. The Planning Commission continued the public hearing to March 8, 2012 for further deliberations. Staff presented the proposed amendment to the City Council on April 24, 2012. On May 8, 2012, City Council deliberated on the comprehensive plan amendment. The findings in Ordinance 12-014 and 12-015 reflect City Council's decision to deviate from the Planning Commission's recommendation relating to CPA-05-12. On May 22, 2012, Council considered a second ordinance reading at which time Council approved written findings of fact setting forth their basis for recommending approval of the proposed amendments, with the exception of CPA- 05-12, which was to be considered separately later. City Council determined that more information would be necessary to ensure an informed decision could be made relating to CPA- 05-12. On June 12, 2012, staff provided more information to City Council. City Council concurred to proceed to an ordinance first reading, without a development agreement, for the June 26, council meeting. On June 26, 2012, City Council passed a motion to amend Ordinance 12-018 to include a development agreement and advance to a second reading. On July 3, 2012, staff provided an administrative report regarding Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA-05-12 and the terms of the negotiated development agreement. OPTIONS: Discussion only.

The anticipated funding levels are: $6.9M in combined UAP/UCP funds for the Northeast Region; and$740K for the East Region SP program. While the total amount of urban funding available statewide only decreased about 11% in 2012,the amount of Urban road funding available for the Northeast region is down about 41%from 2011. Sidewalk funding for the East region has increased about 350%. The decrease in funding available for this region is primarily due to the realignment of the Urban regional boundaries, TIB combining the UAP/UCP funding, and a larger portion of funding being dedicated to sidewalk projects and pavement preservation projects for medium sized cities. Project applications are due Friday,August 24,2012. TIB has made some minor changes to the program this year that include the following: 1. TIB will no longer rank UCP and UAP projects separately or have dedicated funding amounts for each program. The top scoring projects will be selected regardless of whether UCP or UAP criteria are used to rank the project. 2. For Urban projects, TIB is placing greater emphasis on major corridor related projects versus "spot"projects. Approximately 70%of urban funding will be directed towards corridor projects. Staff has been evaluating the TIB grant criteria and working to identify projects that will have the highest potential to receive funding. We have also reviewed the adopted 2013-2018 Six Year TIP, the Pavement Management Program, accident hot-spots, and several other elements of the city's transportation network. Based on this review, staff has identified the Sullivan Road W Bridge Project as the most suitable Urban project for the 2012 Call for Projects. The Sullivan bridge project will replace the existing 2-lane Sullivan Rd W Bridge that carries southbound traffic with a new 4-lane bridge. The project is needed to address the inadequate structural condition of the existing bridge. This request to TIB would be for construction funding only since design, right-of-way, and partial construction funding has already been received through a state FMSIB grant($2M)and a federal Bridge Program Grant($8M). Due to the small amount of funding available,no suitable sidewalk projects were identified at this time. OPTIONS: Discussion RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The city's match on TIB funded projects is typically 20% of the total project cost. The federal grant funds previously received for the Sullivan West Bridge Project count towards the required TIB match. As the proposed TIB applications are developed, staff will coordinate with the Finance Department to ensure there are sufficient city funds to provide the needed match for the proposed TIB projects.

BACKGROUND: The staff wanted to provide the City Council with information on the City's Municipal Code regarding graffiti provisions, and the process in which the City engages participants for abating such nuisances. The following outlines the program the City adopted, and an update on how the City and its partners at SCOPE and the Spokane County juvenile court work toward abating graffiti. There are two broad purposes in applying graffiti to a property. The first is related to communicating gang information (territory, etc.), and the second is related to somebody wanting to make their mark by vandalizing somebody's property. Although this second form of graffiti ("tagging") is referred to as an art form in some places, most of the tagging seen in Spokane Valley has no artistic value. Traditionally the City's response to graffiti was handled primarily by SCOPE, until the Council adopted new Code provisions in 2008. A standard response when graffiti is found is to photograph and analyze it to determine if there are gang-related components to it. If so, then the photos are turned over to the gang unit. If it is not gang-related, SCOPE provides the property owner or tenant with information on how to remove it. When graffiti is spotted on somebody's property, SCOPE will leave a notice on their door. The City Police Department tracks the number of graffiti incidents each year, with a dollar estimate of the damage caused. Until 2008, the City had limited legal means to respond to graffiti, relying on catching people in the act of tagging. If we were able to do so, that person could be charged with Malicious Mischief in the third degree, which is a gross misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine. Having that as the primary weapon against graffiti was not effective because it was so hard to catch someone "in the act." Other cities have experienced the same lack of effectiveness in trying to catch taggers. Given these experiences, other cities have geared programs to removing the graffiti as soon as possible, the theory being that quick removal will deny the taggers any time to admire their work, and thus, reduce the incentive to do it in the first place. Components of successful abatement programs include the following: - immediate notification to the city; - immediate notification to property owners; and - immediate removal of the graffiti. Page 1 of 3 Ways these steps can be accomplished include the following: - encourage neighbors to notify each other when graffiti is spotted; - provide the public with a phone number and website at the City to report graffiti; - work with impacted property owners on effective means of removing graffiti; - have the City purchase products that have been proven effective in removing graffiti; - encourage volunteer groups to assist in graffiti abatement with permission of owner/tenant; - seek donations of various colors of paint and painting supplies from paint stores; - encourage residents in graffiti prone areas to keep extra matching paint on hand; and - educate citizens about paint products that are graffiti-resistant. In 2008, the Council adopted a Code revision which made having graffiti on one's property a nuisance under SVMC 7.05.040, subject to the enforcement provisions contained in SVMC 17.100. However, staff and the Council wanted to put together a graffiti abatement program that did not re-victimize property owners who were unfortunate enough to have their property vandalized. The question then became how to best get abatement of such nuisances without re- victimizing property owners. In searching for a solution, staff became aware of a Juvenile Court community service program that already has an established graffiti abatement program. Juveniles are assigned community service hours as a means of accountability through various Juvenile Court processes, and a number of these juveniles are referred into this community service program through Juvenile Court. The Juvenile Court program is operated by Spokane County, and already operates a graffiti abatement program in the City of Spokane through the COPS offices. They have all of the equipment and paint (donated), as well as supervision by Juvenile Court staff. They apparently have 5 or 6 different colors to choose from. In an effort to best utilize the services offered by Juvenile Court, to minimize the work load for our staff, and to avoid re-victimizing property owners, staff utilizes the following process for graffiti abatement: 1. SCOPE finds out about graffiti either through proactive means or by referral (from private citizens to SCOPE or to Crime Check, or directly to City staff). This allows the police to document the nature of the graffiti to determine if it is tagging, or whether it is gang related. 2. SCOPE will be the primary contact for all graffiti and will contact the property owner to discuss abatement with them, first seeking to have the property owner abate it themselves. If so, the problem is solved. 3. If the property owner will not abate the graffiti, or cannot due to age or physical limitations, the SCOPE volunteer would ask them to review and sign a release/waiver form authorizing the Juvenile Court community service program to enter their property and paint it over. If so, scheduling may be made by SCOPE with Juvenile Court to abate it. 4. If they do not agree to either abate it themselves or to allow Juvenile Court to do it, then it would be referred by SCOPE to our Code Enforcement officers, at which time it would be treated as any other nuisance violation. This process would allow ample opportunity for a property owner to either abate the graffiti themselves, or have Juvenile Page 2 of 3 Court do it for free. The refusal to engage in one of these would result in the City taking action. 5. If public property has been tagged, SCOPE will contact COSV Public Works or Parks Department. 6. If we receive a citizen complaint, the staff member will encourage the complainant to contact and report to Crime Check or do so ourselves. 7. SCOPE will provide the City with a periodic report outlining the status of graffiti abatement. Staff has drafted a flow chart for internal purposes, but wanted to share it so the Council would have a clearer understanding of how graffiti is addressed in our process.

Spokane Valley What is graffiti? Graffiti is any type of unauthorized marking on public or private property. It may include words, figures, designs or other inscriptions on any type of property that can be seen by the public. It may be applied using paint, ink, dye or other substances that can be used to mark property. Isn't graffiti illegal? Yes. Those who are responsible for applying graffiti can be convicted of malicious mischief, a crime that is punishable by a fine up to $5000 and/or up to one year in jail. And, because we are determined to defeat graffiti's negative effects, it has been added to Spokane Valley's list of prohibited nuisances* so that our community can be graffiti-free. *SVMC 7.05.040 Why be graffiti-free? A scourge in communities across the nation, graffiti mars public and private property. It can lower property value and discourage investment in the community. Graffiti negatively affects people's feelings of safety, and can encourage more vandalism and gang activity. Uncontrolled graffiti projects a poor image of our community, and worst of all, destroys community pride. Report graffiti Crime Check 456-2233 You can help keep Spokane Valley free of graffiti and its harmful effects. Call Crime Check at 456-2233. Be ready to provide: • Your name, • A phone number where you can be reached, and • A description and location of the graffiti. You may also be asked to submit a photograph of the graffiti if you can do so. How can I be graffiti-free? If graffiti shows up on your property, report it right away by calling Crime Check at 456-2233. After it has been reported and photographed, remove graffiti promptly and completely; otherwise it can attract vandalism, crime and more graffiti. How do I remove graffiti? Most graffiti can be removed with common products found at your local hardware store. Some community members keep extra paint handy just for this purpose. Ask for graffiti removal information when you call Crime Check to report it, contact your local S.C.O.P.E station, or search the internet for"graffiti removal tips." Regardless of the removal method you choose, be sure to remove graffiti as soon as possible and help keep Spokane Valley graffiti-free.

BACKGROUND: City staff, with the assistance of a Shoreline Advisory Group (SAG), completed the draft Goals and Policies for the Shoreline Master Program Update in July 2011. The Planning Commission review was completed over 6 meetings beginning on March 22, 2012. A public hearing was conducted on April 12, 2012, and deliberations were completed on June 28, 2012. The Commission voted 5-0 to recommend acceptance of the draft as modified. Attorney Tadas Kisielius, VanNess Feldman GordonDerr, assisted the Commission with their deliberations. On May 10, 2012 Mr. Kisielius highlighted draft goals and policies that may be more restrictive than what the DOE (Department of Ecology) Guidelines require, and areas where policy decisions are appropriate based on local circumstances. He also discussed language changes to numerous policies to reflect the statutory standard regarding key SMA concepts of no net loss and critical areas and remarked on the written comments received. A Comment Table was developed to track public comments, Mr. Kisielius's comments, and the Commission's final action. The table (included in the separate binder) is attached for your information. Mr. Kisielius will be present at the July 24th Council meeting to discuss the draft document. Staff will present an overview of the process completed, explain the materials provided, and highlight issues covered by the Planning Commission.

SMP 4.5 Stormwater Treatment All development within the shoreline jurisdiction area shall provide stormwater treatment for all new and redeveloped pollution generating impervious surfaces. SMP 4.6 Parking Facilities for Public Access Parking facilities for public access to the shoreline and water should be kept as far from the shorelines as feasible SMP 4.7 Parking Facilities not a Primary Use. Parking facilities should only be allowed as necessary to support permitted shoreline uses,and not as a primary use,and must be located outside of the shoreline jurisdiction area if other options are available and feasible. SMP 4.8 Impacts of Parking Facilities Minimize the environmental and visual impacts of parking facilities where allowed. SMP 4.9 Retain Unused Public Rights-of-way for Visual and Physical Access Retain unused public rights-of-way within the shoreline area to provide visual and physical access to the shoreline unless: • The street vacation enables the City to acquire the property for beach or water access purposes,boat moorage or launching sites, park,public view,recreation,or educational purposes,or other public uses or the City declares that the street or alley is not presently being used and is not suitable for the above purposes;or • The street vacation enables the City to implement a plan,that provides comparable or improved public access to the same shoreline area to which the streets or alleys sought to be vacated,had the properties included in the plan not been vacated.

Economic Development Element Goal SMP 5: Encourage and support water dependent,water oriented,and water related economic activities within the shorelands of the City of Spokane Valley that will be an asset to the economy of the area and that will protect and maintain the ecological functions of the shoreline environment Policies SMP 5.1 Location of Economic Development Give preference to economic development within the shoreline jurisdiction that is particularly dependent on their location on or use of the shoreline.Encourage new development to locate in areas that have intensive prior use and can be upgraded or redeveloped.Encourage new economic development to cluster into areas of the shoreline whose current use is compatible. SMP 5.2 Design of Economic Development Development should be designed to minimize the impacts to the shoreline aesthetic through architectural, landscape,and other design features.Give preference to water-oriented economic development,while limiting location of All non-Ghorelinewater-oriented dependent elements of the development should be plased outside of the shoreline jurisdiction unless the site is inappropriate for water-oriented uses or the development demonstrably contributes to the objectives of the Shoreline Management Act inland. Encourage design that seeks to restore damaged or compromised shoreline through incentives. SMP 5.3 Provisions for Physical and Visual Availability to Water When public access is required under this SMP 14historic areas,overlook points,structures,and points of public access to the waterfront should be incorporated in economic development site-planning. SMP 5.4 Encourage Regional Tourism Strengthen regional tourism by expanding and developing neighborhood and regional linkages and improvements that use the shoreline areas. SMP 5.5 Consistency with Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulations Proposed economic development in the shoreline should be consistent with the City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan and development regulations.Upland uses on adjacent lands outside of immediate SMA jurisdiction(in accordance with RCW 90.58.340)should protect the preferred shoreline uses from being impacted by incompatible uses. Require that the short term economic gain or convenience of development be evaluated against the long term and potentially costly impairments to the natural environments and state wide interest that may result. City of Spokane Valley I Draft Goals and Policies 5 June 28,2012 PLANNING COMMISSION DRAFT I SMP Provisions for Shoreline Protection Require that development provide adequate provisions for the protection of water quality,erosion control, landscaping,aesthetic characteristics,stormwater systems, fish and wildlife habitat,views, archaeological sites,and normal public use of the water.
