Spokane County has indicated their current facility is not an option for the future and placed the issue to purchase and renovate a new animal facility on the ballot, which was not approved by the voters. The County now proposes the option of purchasing an existing building using existing revenue sources and forming a regional system, and proposes including Spokane Valley and the City of Spokane, which will help mitigate associated costs. Council authorized the City Manager to issue a Request for Proposals for animal control services and two proposals were received: Spokane County SCRAPS, and SpokAnimal. Staff has evaluated the proposals and has provided a comparison. OPTIONS: n/a RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Conduct public hearing to allow citizens opportunity for comment. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: No impact to 2012 budget. Proposals range from $216,000 to $296,000 for 2013. The 2012 budget amount is $315,516.

According to the County, the current facility is not an option for the future. The County ballot measure to purchase and renovate a new facility was not approved by the voters. The County is proposing a non-ballot option of purchasing an existing building utilizing existing revenue sources and forming a regional system including Spokane Valley and the City of Spokane to help mitigate associated costs. Spokane County has provided information requested by Council. Council authorized the City Manager to issue a Request for Proposals for animal control services. Two proposals were received: Spokane County SCRAPS and SpokAnimal. Staff has evaluated the proposals and will provide a recommendation at this meeting. OPTIONS: Consensus to have the City Manager negotiate contract terms with SCRAPS or SpokAnimal, or request more information. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: N/A—Council consensus only. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: No impact to 2012 budget. Proposals range from $216,000 to $296,000 for 2013. The 2012 budget amount is $315,516.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: State law. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Through the 2013 Budget development process, there have been discussions regarding the 2013 property tax levy including a public hearing held on August 28th where estimates of the City's 2013 revenues were discussed. BACKGROUND: 2013 Levy and Estimated Rate per$1,000 of Assessed Value • State law requires the City to pass an ordinance in order to levy property taxes. • Based upon previous discussions with the City Council, staff are proposing that the City's 2013 levy include the 1% increase allowed by Initiative #747. • The levy will also include property taxes on new construction. • With the passage of this ordinance, the City would collect approximately $11,051,903.72 in 2013 which is com uted as follows: 2012 Actual Levy 10,818,716.56 + 1% Increase 108,187.16 2013 Levy after increase 10,926,903.72 + Estimated new construction 125,000.00 Total estimated 2013 Le 11,051,903.72 • The levy is based upon a preliminary estimate of assessed property values provided to the City by the Spokane County Assessor of $6,910,918,764 (which does not yet include increases related to new construction figures). • Total property tax revenue of $11,051,903.72 on preliminary assessed values of $6,910,918,764 will produce a levy of approximately $1.59920 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2013 ($11,051,903.72 / ($6,910,918.764/1,000) _ $1.59920). • It should be not ed that these estimates are based upon t he Assessor's latest preliminary projections of assessed value as of 8/27/2012. A change in any of the elements including assessed value, new construction estimate and/or a change in the amount of our proposed levy will change the levy rate per $1,000. At this point we know that the "new construction" portion of the preliminary assessed values has not yet been included. Once this figure is updated, the levy rate per $1,000 should decrease. P:ICIerklAgendaPackets for Weblagendapacket 09-04-1211tem 6 RCA setting 2013 prop tax levy.docx Banked Capacity Banked capacity is the difference between what the City could levy and what it actually does. In the case of the City of Spokane Valley, our maximum levy rate is $1.60 per $1,000 of assessed value. Any amount levied that is less than $1.60 per $1,000 of assessed value represents "banked capacity." Included in the analysis below is history of Spokane Valley levies including four years of actual figures (2009 through 2012) and a preliminary estimate for 2013: A B C D E F Maximum Banked Levy Taxable Levy Levy Rate Levy Rate Levy Rate Banked Year Value Amount er$1,000 per$1,000 er$1,000 Ca aci (=8/(A/1,000)) (=D-C) (=E*(A/1,000)) 2012 assessment for 2013 $6,910,918,764 $11,051,903.72 $1.59920 $1.60 $0.00081 $5,563.29 2011 assessmentfor 2012 $7,087,523,395 $10,818,716.56 $1.52645 $1.60 $0.07356 $521,322.78 2010 assessment for 2011 $7,140,947,644 $10,732,862.64 $1.50300 $1.60 $0.09700 $692,650.50 2009 assessment for 2010 $7,169,492,602 $10,826,707.82 $1.51011 $1.60 $0.08989 $644,480.03 2008 assessment for 2009 $7,019,508,327 $10,528,504.69 $1.49989 $1.60 $0.10011 $702,708.94 Note: Figures reflected for the 2013 levy are preliminary and subject to change. At a minimum wg know the taxable value figure of$6,910,918,764 will change because it does not yet include "newconstruction". • Generally speaking, you'll note there is a direct relationship between the Taxable Value listed in column A, and the Banked Capacity in columns E and F. In other words, as the Taxable Value increases the Banked Capacity also increases. • Alternatively though, there is an inverse relationship between the direction of the Taxable Value and the Levy Rate per $1,000. In other words, as the Taxable Value decreases (as it has in the weaker economy of the recent past) the Levy Rate per $1,000 increases. Essentially what occurs in this case is that even though the Levy Rate per $1,000 may increase, the actual amount paid by a pr operty owner may not change significantly because the value of the property has decreased. By the same token, as the economy begins to improve and Taxable Values increase, the Levy Rate per$1,000 will likely decrease. • It is also noteworthy that in the years the City does not levy the 1% allowed by Initiative #747, that potential increase is "banked" for potential future use. • The banked capacity can be accessed by the City through the annual property tax levy ordinance adopted by the Council. However, the City may only take the banked capacity up to a level where the levy rate per$1,000 of assessed value does not exceed $1.60. Summarv Ultimately, regardless of the Taxable Value or Levy Rate per $1,000, the actual Levy Amount cannot increase by more than 1% over the previous year, plus taxes assessed on new construction. OPTIONS: Passage of this ordinance is required by law in order to levy 2013 property taxes. The Council could modify the ordinance to set a lower levy. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No action is needed at this time.

No changes are ! i being proposed to the locations where these uses can locate within the City. e. Automobile/truck/RV/motorc�paintin ,�re�air,bodv and fender works: Proposed as an allowed � use with conditions in the Community Commercial zone. An appropriate use in this zone provided i that it be located within an enclosed structure. � , . � f. Barber/beau shop: Proposed as an allowed use in the Garden Office zone as these businesses are I typically smaller in size and do not generate traffic or noise in amounts that would be disruptive to the adjacent residential uses. g. Bicvcle sales/service: Proposed as an allowed use in the Garden Office zone as these businesses are typically smaller in size and do not generate traffic or noise in amounts that would be disruptive to the adjacent residential uses. h. Boat sales/service: Proposed as an allowed use in the Corridor Mixed Use and Light Industrial zones where other automobile sales are currently allowed. � i. Brewery,micro: Proposed as an allowed use in the Neighbarhood Commercial zone. A growing trend,these small tap breweries typically serve the neighborhoods where they are located. i j.

These uses are allowed in all other zones within the City with the exception of the industrial � zones. n. Clothes retail sales: Proposed as an allowed use in the Neighborhood Commercial zone. Smaller, j boutique type establishments appropriate to serve the surrounding neighborhood. ( o. Drug Store: A dated term,proposing to rename this item"Pharmacy", a more widely used term and 'I relocate it alphabetically within the code. p.

Entertainment/recreation facilities,indoor: Proposed as a permitted use in the Light Industrial zone and with a Conditional Use Permit in the Heavy Industrial zone. These uses,which include indoor soccer centers,batting cages, etc, are growing in popularity and typically locate in large,warehouse ; type facilities commonly found in industrial areas. ' i r. Essential Public Facilities: Proposed as Regional Siting in the Corridor Mixed Use zone. This amendment would make it possible for the County to consider parcels zoned CMiJ when I contemplating uses including,but not limited to,hospitals,regional transportation facilities,inpatient facilities,etc. s. Exercise facilitX/�,ym/athletic club: Proposed as an allowed use in the Office zone. Small scale fitness facilities that locate in strip commercial or office space such as Curves,Anytime Fitness, or the like.

Outdoor markets are growing in ; popularity and often are functional for longer than the 6 months the Temporary Use Permit currently i allows. I w. Mobile food vendors: Allowed with conditions in the Neighborhood Commercial zone. These small businesses,which serve the neighborhood where they are located,would need the permission of the property owner and the Health Department. x.

Speci�cally, evaluating existing uses listed in the chapter and proposing additional uses which may be appropriate in these zones. As staff began the review process, a number of other updates were identified; either updates to zones other than CMU or GO, and general format updates to help make the matrix more user friendly. The following is a brief discussion regarding the proposed changes. City Center: Remove the category of"City Center"as there is no longer any land within the City zoned City Center. Appliance sales/service: Proposed as an allowed use in the Community Commercial zone. The size and scale of typical appliance stores is compatible with the Community Commercial zone. Auction House: Proposed as an allowed use in the Light Industrial zone due the availability of structures large enough to accommodate this type of business. Manufacturin�: Relocate all manufacturing categories from their current alphabetic location in the code to a general"Manufacturing" section within the code for easier navigation. No changes are being proposed to the locations where these uses can locate within the City. Automobile/truck/RV/motorc.�paintin�, repair,body and fender works: Proposed as an allowed use with conditions in the Community Commercial zone. An appropriate use in this zone provided that it be located within an enclosed structure. Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-02-12 Barber/beaut, s�p.

Boat sales/service: Proposed as an allowed use in the Corridor Mixed Use and Light Industrial zones where other automobile sales are currently allowed. Brewer;Y,micro: Proposed as an allowed use in the Neighborhood Commercial zone. A growing trend, these small tap breweries typically serve the neighborhoods where they are located. Buildin� Su�ly&Home Improvemenr The Corridor Mixed Use zones have significant vacancies and would be appropriate for this type of use. Other uses already permitted in the CMU zone with a similar NAICS classification include hardware stores and greenhouse/garden centers. Candy& Confectionarv_: Proposed as an allowed use in the Garden Office and Office aones as these businesses are typically smaller in size and do not generate traffic or noise in amounts that would be disruptive to the adjacent residential uses.

These uses are allowed in all other zones within the City with the exception of the industrial zones. Clothes,retail sales: Proposed as an allowed use in the Neighborhood Commercial zone. Smaller, boutique type establishments appropriate to serve the surrounding neighborhood. Dru S� tore: A dated term,proposing to rename this item"Pharmacy", a more widely used term and relocate it alphabetically within the code. Dwellin�, townhouse: Proposing to remove this from the Neighborhood Commercial zone where residential uses are not allowed. This change corrects an error in the code. Entertainment/recreation facilities,indoor: Proposed as a permitted use in the Light Industrial zone and with a Conditional Use Permit in the Heavy Industrial zone. These uses,which include indoor soccer centers,batting cages, etc. are growing in popularity and typically locate in large,warehouse type facilities commonly found in industrial areas.

These smaller,boutique style stores serve the neighborhoods where they are located. Market, outdoor: Proposing to change this use from requiring a Temporary Use Permit to an outright permitted use in the Mixed Use Center, Corridor Mixed Use, Community Commercial, Regional Commercial,Parks and Open Space, and Light Industrial zones. Outdoor markets are growing in popularity and often are functional for longer than the 6 months the Temporary Use Permit currently allows.

Page 4 of 4 Spokane Valley Planning Commission DRAFT Minutes Council Chambers — City Hall, 11707 E. Sprague Ave. July 12, 2012 L CALL TO ORDER Chair Bates called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. IL PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Commissioners, staff and audience stood for the pledge of allegiance IIL ROLL CALL Commission Members City Staff Bill Bates -Chair John Hohman, Community Development Director Fred Beaulac Cary Driskell, City Attorney John G. Carroll Lori Barlow, Senior Planner Rustin Hall Christina Janssen, Assistant Planner Rod Higgins Deanna Griffith, Secretary Steven Neill Joe Stoy—Vice Chair Commissioner Bates welcomed the return of Fred Beaulac to the Planning Commission.

IV. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Commissioner Stoy made a motion to approve the agenda as presented. This motion was passed unanimously. V. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Neill made a motion to approve the May 10 and May 24, 2012 minutes as presented. Commissioner Stoy stated he would not vote on the May 24, 2012 minutes as he did not attend this meeting. The vote on the minutes to approve as presented was six in favor, zero against for the May 10, 2012 minutes and five in favor, zero against for the May 24, 2012 minutes.

VIL COMMISSION REPORTS Commissioners had nothing to report Planning Commission Minutes 07-14-12 Page 1 of 10 VIIL ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Community Development Director, John Hohman, welcomed Commissioner Beaulac to the Commission and wished him well as a seasoned member. IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS A. Unfinished Business: City Attorney Cary Driskell reviewed the proposed changes to the Planning Commission Rules of Procedure. Mr. Driskell discussed only the substantive suggested changes however there is also the cleanup of terms and formatting of some items for consistency. Commissioner Bates stated he was a little concerned about the addition of the statement, in Section 9(A). Mr. Bates, and other Commission members, felt "not be permitted to speak" was negative and preferred to have it rewritten so it was more positive. Any person who fails to sign in shall wait to speak until all those who have si�ned in have had an o�ortunitv to speak. a��e:At any public hearing, persons who have signed in and wish to be heard shall be given an opportunity to be heard. Commissioner Carroll asked about the proposed change to item #7 Voting. B. For the conduct of business dealing with matters wh�ich require adoption or changes to the City's Comprehensive Plan and the election of officers, at least four affirmative votes must be cast. Each member of the Commission is entitled to one vote. No proxy shall be allowed. Mr. Carroll's concern was if there was not a complete Commission in attendance it could give more weight to a negative vote. Mr. Driskell explained it could be possible, but if it was a concern then the Commission should move the particular item to another meeting where the full Commission could be in attendance. Commissioner Carroll shared that Section 8(C)(2), bothered him just a little bit. � By the written request to the Chair, or, in the Chair's absence, to the Vice-Chair, of three or more members of th�e Commission. Commissioner Carroll said he wondered how having a discussion of three or more commissioners at one time in order to request a special meeting would not be a violation of the Open Public Meetings Act. Commissioner Stoy stated he agreed with the concern. Attorney Driskell said he felt the problem would be in the words "or more" in the statement. The Commission agreed with Mr. Driskell to strike the words "or more"from the statement. Mr. Driskell discussed the proposed removal of Section ll(B) "The assigned City Council Liaison may attend meetings... " Mr. Driskell stated he believed this subsection was based on a section in the Ciry's Governance Manual, which talks about City Council liaisons for committees. Mr. Driskell said if one reads the language it states a City Council member attends a committee and then comes back and reports to the City Council about what is going on with the committee. Based on best practice, staff is recommending the language come out of the Rules of Procedure. Mr. Driskell stated his concern was it could be problematic for Planning Commission members to attend City Council meetings and comment on something that happened at a Planning Commission meeting and give their personal interpretation of what happened at the meeting, which could be different from the recommendation. Mr. Driskell shared that even if someone was paraphrasing the Planning Commission Minutes 07-14-12 Page 2 of 10 recommendation of the Planning Commission, it could change the record in front of the Council, giving the impression Council was considering new material giving the defeated party grounds for an appeal.. Mr. Driskell said he understood there had been discussions regarding adding procedures for submitting a minority report to the Rules of Procedure. Commissioner Bates stated it had been brought up at several meetings, and he thought he understood the City Council had agreed to this provision. Commissioner Bates stated he seemed to remember, when it had been a close vote, the City Council asking for the thoughts of the opposing side. Mr. Driskell responded he felt Council had stated they were fine with receiving a minority report, particularly where the vote was four to three and it was a significant issue. Mr. Driskell shared the Council had wanted to hear the competing views from the Commission in the past, however as the City Attorney, allowing Commission members to voice their interpretation of the meeting gives options for an appeal to the party who did not win the decision. Commissioner Stoy stated he also felt there should be something in the rules, especially in a close vote, what the vote was and why. Mr. Driskell stated the minutes reflect all of this information. Commissioner Carroll stated it would not hurt to add something about the process for a minority report to the rules. Mr. Driskell suggested limiting it to when there was a four to three vote. Commissioner Beaulac stated he felt that even if the vote should be five to two, if a Commissioner had a very strong opinion, the member should be allowed to write a report. Commissioner Neill agreed. Mr. Driskell asked if the dissenting Commissioners would be expected to draft the report. The Commissions members agreed they would not expect staff to produce this. Commissioner Bates stated there should be guidelines for the minority report so it would not include things that were not discussed during the actual meetings. Mr. Driskell then commented this was one of his concerns with the minority report. Mr. Driskell said for the most part, the Commission members stated their opinions for the record either in support or opposition of a matter, which then becomes part of the permanent record, so what would be the purpose of another record. Commissioner Hall commented if he had something to say, he would voice his opinion at the meeting. When the Commission makes a final decision, then that becomes his final decision as we1L Mr. Hall said the information would be on the record. If it the opinions and decisions were not recorded, a person would be able come back later with new information, trying to then make it part of the record after the fact. Mr. Hall does not support minority reports. Commissioner Stoy agreed with Commissioner Hall and now feels a minority report is not necessary. Commissioner Higgins said there were two different records being discussed, the minutes which are forwarded to Council and the recording of the meeting, which someone must take the time to listen to. Commissioner Higgins believes the two are very different. Mr. Higgins said he was afraid that the minority comments would not be adequately reflected in the minutes. Mr. Driskell discussed an example of how additional information could be included in a minority report without the intention of harm. Commissioner Beaulac stated in order to file a minority report the dissenting Commissioner would need to take the time to formulate the opinion, articulate it, put it on paper, and submit it. Commissioner Bates stated he had changed his mind based on Commissioner Hall's statement and letting the vote of the Commission stand as the recommendation. Planning Commission Minutes 07-14-12 Page 3 of 10 Mr. Driskell stated he needed a bit more direction as to whether or not to draft some language for this subject. Commissioner Bates asked Mr. Driskell to draft some language to consider at the next meeting. Mr. Driskell stated he would be able to draft the language but would not be at the next meeting. Commissioner Carroll changed his mind based on some of the statements which had been shared earlier. Commissioner Bates again stated he felt that after having discussed so many options at this time the down side to a minority report seems to have taken over. Mr. Driskell stated that he would not be drafting any language regarding a minority report unless he heard consensus to draft some language. There was discussion to see if the Commission had consensus, or not, to draft language for allowing a minority report. After discussion, the Chairman polled the members concerning this matter and the Commission agreed that they would not ask Mr. Driskell to draft language. Commissioner Bates asked Mr. Driskell if it was appropriate for City Councilmembers to attend Planning Commission meetings given the earlier discussion about Commission members addressing City Council. Mr. Driskell stated he would have to defer the question as it was not a subject he had considered at moment. Mr. Driskell pointed out on Section 13(C)(1)(iii) If a Commission member is required to refi^ain fi^om deliberation or participation by his/her employer because of a real or perceived conflict of interest, then the Commission member should be allowed to recuse or withdraw fi^om that deliberation. Mr. Driskell stated it was suggested by the City Clerk_the sentence should read will be allowed to recuse..... This change will replace the word `should' with the word `will' "_then the Commission member�c�will be allowed to recuse or withdraw fi^om th�at..." Mr. Driskell stated the reason for this proposed change is that the person who is requesting to be recused is engaging in a personal exercise as to whether or not they will be unbiased, and if they make the determination, then that request should be honored. Mr. Driskell told the Commission he would like to add a new sentence to Section 13(C)(2) Conflict of Interest Procedure: Every Commission member who has a conflict of interest shall publicly disclose the conflict at the next Commission meeting after the Commission member discovers the conflict. If a discovery or determination of a conflict is made durin�a Commission meetin�the Commission member shall publiclv disclose the conflict at that time. The nature and extent of such conflict of interest shall be fully disclosed, and a summary of the same shall be incorporated into the official minutes of the Commission proceedings. The addition of this sentence would help to define the process if a conflict is discovered after the discussion has begun. Commission members moved to amend Section 13(D)(3) - Missing Commission meetings. The section has been modified to read: IMissing three or more consecutive regularly scheduled meetings or study sessions without such absences being excused by the Commission. Commissioner Carroll felt there should be a definition of consecutive regularly scheduled meetings. He was concerned someone could take advantage of the exact wording if it was not defined. Mr. Driskell stated the words "or missing six meetings in a 12 month period (whether consecutive or not)"had been removed from this same rule as it was inconsistent with the Municipal Code. He also said the City Council holds itself to the three meetings rule and does not have the six meeting notation. Commissioners Neill and Higgins shared Planning Commission Minutes 07-14-12 Page 4 of 10 a concern about removing this wording, stating they felt attendance was important and thought both statements should be in the rules. Commissioner Neill stated during the Shoreline Master Program meetings Commissioners continued to state the City should be held to a higher standard. He felt missing six meetings out of 14 would not be an acceptable standard, and the Commission should hold itself to a higher standard. He wondered why the City could not be the �rst to have a higher standard. Mr. Driskell reminded the Commission the City and State codes have the requirement of three unexcused meetings and the Commission rules can't be inconsistent with the City Code. As it is currently written,it would be. Commissioner Bates suggested the following statement should be changed. If a member is absent, then at the beginning of the Planning Commission meeting the Chair shall inform the Commission of the member's absence, state the reason for such absence, and inquire if there is any objection to excusing the member. Mr. Bates stated he didn't think it should be at the beginning of the meeting but after the roll call. � After discussion with Mr. Driskell it was amended to read: read..... If a member is absent, �t� ''� ��;,�,�;,�� t'� p'�,�,�;,�� r'�,��,��;°°;,,,� , �*;,�� after roll call bv th�e Secretar:v, the Chair shall i�form the..." � The Commission requested the following section to be re-written as it is a bit clumsy: If a meeting occurs that is, or would to a reasonable person appear to constitute a violation of the OPMA, the Commissioners involved in the activity should publicly disclose the nature of such activity at th�e next Commission meeting. If possible, the Commissioner may consult the City Attorney for advice on whether the meeting violates the OPMA. Mr. Driskell asked the Commission how they wanted to proceed. It was decided to have a final copy come back with all suggested changes, then the Planning Commission would make a motion to recommend approval to the City Council. C. New Business: Public hearing — CTA-02-12 Proposed Amendments to 19120 Permitted Used Matrix. Chairman Bates opened the public hearing at 6: 57 p.m. and Commissioner Stoy read the rules to a public hearing. Assistant Planner Christina Janssen presented the proposed amendments to Chapter 19.120, Permitted Use Matrix. The following is a brief discussion regarding the proposed changes.

Taxidermv: Proposed as an allowed use in the Corridor Mixed Use zone. Taxidermy is a low intensity use generating low traffic volumes. Ms. Janssen reminded the Commission City Council had requested staff to review permitted uses in the Garden Office and Corridor Mixed Use zones. Staff had identified a number of permitted uses throughout the matrix that could use some clean up and decided to use this opportunity to conduct a complete review of the permitted use matrix. Ms. Janssen stated during the study session the Commissioners identified a couple of subjects for staff to research, including crematories. Ms. Janssen stated there are two crematories in the CMU zone (both are located on Pines Rd.), both are legal non- conforming uses. Commissioner Carroll stated this use should be allowed in more places because it is becoming a more popular alternative and it should be allowed in the CMU zoning district. Mr. Carroll asked it had been considered to allow a crematory as a conditional use as an accessory to a funeral home since funeral homes are permitted in the CMU zone. Community Development Director John Hohman stated it could be something the Commission could deliberate about after the public hearing. The Commission inquired about allowing crematories in the CMU zone with a conditional use permit. Staff explained a conditional use permit requires a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner. The Hearing Examiner would then apply conditions to the permit on a case by case basis. It was also explained this process is used as a tool to provide an Planning Commission Minutes 07-14-12 Page 7 of 10 opportunity for more public input. Sr. Planner Lori Barlow stated is different than placing conditions on an allowed use. She cautioned the Commission to be careful when considering whether to make something a conditional use permit process or to allow the use with special conditions. The Commission would need to think about what effects or impacts the conditions would have, and if the conditions could be applied to every situation equally. Mr. Hohman suggested it could be considered and discussed, however the CMU zoning district had a lot of uses which could also have a use attached as a conditional use and it is something the Commission should consider when they deliberate. The Commission took a break at 7:12 p.m. and returned at 7:24 p.m. At the return from the break, the Commission began taking public testimony. Mike King, 107 S Howard, Spokane—Mr. King submitted a letter to the Commission for review. Mr. King requested the Commission allow office uses in the MF-2 zone if the land abuts an arterial, or at least an intersection in which one of the streets is an arterial, and everywhere else in MF-2 with a conditional use permit. Mr. King believes this request would bring the permitted use matrix in line with other surrounding jurisdictions. Mr. King stated the City of Spokane and Spokane County both allow limited office uses in multifamily residential zoning districts. This would allow for the location of more dentist, doctor, lawyer, accountant offices and other such professional office uses. Mr. King believes this change would help with tax revenue and level the "playing field" with surrounding jurisdictions in a competitive market. Mr. King would like the Commission to be aware there is a `rumor' of aircraft manufacturing coming to this area. He would like to see the City maintain aircraft manufacturing in the Heavy Industrial sites and to allow aircraft manufacturing in Light Industrial as a permitted use or as a conditional use in I2. Commissioner Bates asked Mr. King about CPA-OS-12 (Comprehensive Plan amendment proposed at Broadway and Conklin) which he had mentioned in his testimony, and wanting to know the average size of a commercial lot in a MF-2 zone. Mr. King responded it varied in size all over the City. James Ballard, Santa Rosa, CA, 2818 N Sullivan Rd: Mr. Ballard stated he was an investor and owned the property on Sullivan Rd. in which an indoor soccer use is being proposed. Mr. Ballard shared he understood the importance of location of property and of uses and, for this reason, he was a proponent of a recreational indoor use in a Heavy Industrial zone only as a conditional use. Mr. Ballard pointed out there are three other similar uses in the vicinity of his property: Children First Daycare, Jump and Bounce, and the Northwest Gymnastics Academy. Mr. Ballard stated that allowing recreational use of additional properties will promote long term objective of converting, purely industrial areas to mixed use areas. He shared that indoor recreational uses provide a highly demanded service to the general public which has a direct and lasting impact to the public and general health by promoting exercise and fitness. Mr. Ballard feels safe transportation, parking, ingress and egress issues should be able to be controlled in the heavy industrial areas with a conditional use permit. There was discussion and questions between Mr. Ballard, the Commissioners (with some assistance from the Moore's who are hoping to rent Mr. Ballard's property) regarding the indoor soccer use: Planning Commission Minutes 07-14-12 Page 8 of 10 • How large a facility would the indoor soccer use need? A clear span of approx. 140,000 sf. • What is in the building now? Currently has one office tenant now, using approx. 45-30K feet. • How many people at one time would be at the building at one time? Will defer the answer to the business owners, however it would not just a geared to children but also adult players, with 2 playing fields. • Would there be seating for more than the participants? Spectators as well. • How often would the building be in use? Not being sure of the operator's business plans, guessing three to four days a week, nights and weekends. • Is it a year round operation? Defer to the business operators. • Is this the only location you have looked at for property? Mr. Ballard stated he was only concerned about this parcel since he owns this specific parcel. Heather Moore, 18609 E Turtle Creek Lane: Ms. Moore stated she was hoping to be the business owner of the indoor soccer facility. Ms. Moore stated she felt there was a huge demand for this type of facility and it should be a viable facility, with some out-of-town guests being possible. Adults would use the faciliry at night, kids more during the day. She had looked at other locations, but most had problems. The facility needs to be free span. She said there are lots of empty grocery stores however they are not free span. She looked at other places, like near the Shock training faciliry however she said she did not feel it was a very safe area. Ms. Moore liked this location as it is right off freeway and has access for lots of people. The Commission members asked Ms. Moore questions regarding her proposed indoor recreational facility: • What ages would be considered? As young as possible, she would like to see soccer tots, little kids all the way up to 99 or more. • Would the games be open format like YMCA indoor soccer programs? Yes, similar. with dasher boards, no walls. • Would there be concessions, tournaments? Yes on food, not sure about tournaments. • Will there be bleachers? Yes, accommodate approx. 50 people with pub tables. • Did she look at the HUB for a location? No, did not approach them, their program is different. • The address on the building is difficult to see. Mr. Ballard explained where the signage was for the building. Seeing no one else who wished to testify, Chair Bates thanked those that participated and closed the public hearing at 7:53 pm Commissioner Stoy asked where this use was listed in the Permitted Use Matrix. Ms. Janssen explained it is under"Entertainment/recreation facilities, indoor". Planning Commission Minutes 07-14-12 Page 9 of 10 It was moved by Commissioner Hall the Planning Commission to recommend approval of CTA-02-12,proposed amendments of the Permitted Use Matrix, to the City Council. Commissioner Hall stated he was a bit skeptical at first; however, one thing he wanted the Commission to keep in mind was the kind of conditions you would place on something like this and what could move in next door in the future. Mr. Hall then asked Mr. Hohman if he had any thoughts on the proposal by Mr. King to allow limited office uses in the MF-2 zone. Mr. Hohman stated he had not had an opportunity to think about the proposal and would like the opportunity to revisit the subject outside of the meeting, see how the Ciry compares to the City of Spokane and Spokane County. Mr. Hohman said he would like the time to do some research. Commissioner Stoy, Hall and Bates all stated they felt the building would be a good use for the indoor soccer facility. Commissioner Beaulac added he works in the Industrial Park and after 5:00 p.m. and on the weekends most businesses are closed so there would be little traffic from the Park. Director Hohman stated staff supports entertainment/recreational facility, indoor as a conditional use permit in order to evaluate the conditions, location, and surroundings, and then either recommend approval or denial to the Hearing Examiner. Mr. Hohman said he would anticipate staff recommending approval of this rype of facility in a location similar to this, since there is no actual proposal in front of staff at this time. However, he also shared there are places which staff would not recommend approval such —as next to rail traffic, next to a foundry or something along those lines. The Conditional Use Permit process allows staff to look at the site, prepare a staff report and allows for public input. Commissioner Carroll expressed concern about the future and how would you condition it so that things could not affect the future in a hazardous way. Commissioner Stoy asked if it was possible to make office uses in the MF-2 zone require a conditional use permit as well. Staff stated they would investigate this issue and return with more information at the next meeting. X. GOOD OF THE ORDER Commissioner Stoy welcomed Commissioner Beaulac. XL ADJOURNMENT The being no other business the meeting was adjourned at 8:09 p.m. Bill Bates, Chairperson Deanna Griffith, PC Secretary Date signed Planning Commission Minutes 07-14-12 Page 10 of 10 Spokane Valley Planning Commission DRAFT Minutes Council Chambers — City Hall, 11707 E.

VL PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment. VIL COMMISSION REPORTS Commissioners had nothing to report. VIIL ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Planning Manager Scott Kuhta stated the Shoreline Goals and Policies were now before the Ciry Council who had expressed appreciation for the work done by the Planning Commission. Mr. Kuhta also shared that Comprehensive Plan amendment CPA-OS-12 was still an issue with the City Council but was moving forward to with a developer's agreement. IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS A. Unfinished Business: 1. Proposed amendments to the Planning Commission Rules of Procedure: Planning Commission Minutes 07-26-12 Page 1 of 10 Mr. Kuhta said that Ciry Attorney Cary Driskell was unable to attend the Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Kuhta said the Commission had been provided with copies of the last version, both clean and strike-through, of the proposed changes to the Planning Commission Rules of Procedure. Mr. Kuhta said the final changes discussed whit the Commission at the last meeting had been made. Mr. Kuhta stated there had been discussion about adding in the sentence regarding the discovery of a conflict during the meeting, Every Commission member who has a conflict of interest shall publicly disclose the conflict at the next Commission meeting after the Commission member discovers the conflict. � discovery or determination of � conflict is made durin� a Commission meeting the Commission member sh�all publiclv disclose th�e conflict at that time. The nature and extent of such conflict of interest shall be fully disclosed, and a summary of the same shall be incorporated into the official minutes of the Commission proceedings. A change was made as to when the Chair would recognize the absence of a member, after roll call instead of at the beginning of the meeting: If a member is absent, a ter roll call bv the Secretar;v, the Chair shall inform the..." Mr. Kuhta also pointed out in the Rules under Section 9(C) there is a script which will now be read at the beginning of public hearings. . C. When the Commission conducts a hearing to which the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine applies, the Chair (or in the case of a potential violation by that individual, the Vice Chair) will ask if any Commission member knows of any reason which would require such member to excuse themselves pursuant to the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine. The form of the announcement shall be as follows: All Cominission anembers shozrld now give consideration as to whether they have: 1. A demonstrated bias or prejudice for or against any party to the proceedings; 2. A direct or indirect financial interest in the outcome of the proceeding,� 3. A prejudgment of the issue prior to h�earing the facts on the record, or 4. Had ex parte contact with any individual, excluding staff, with regard to an issue prior to the h�earing. Please refer to Section 1 S(B)for more specific infor�nation on how to proceed where th�ere has been an ex parte communication. If any Commission member should answer in the affirmative, then the Commission members should state the reason for his/her answer so that the Chair may inquire of staff as to whether a violation of the Appearance of Fairness Docti^ine exists. Commissioner Stoy asked if he would be required to read this script at the hearing being held later in the meeting. Mr. Kuhta responded no, it would not be necessary at this hearing. He said the hearing scheduled for later in the meeting, was a code text amendment and the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine. Mr. Kuhta shared this would only apply to land use issues, similar to Comprehensive Plan amendments where it would be possible for a Commission member to benefit from the change. Planning Commission Minutes 07-26-12 Page 2 of 10 Commissioner Bates pointed out he thought the Rules for a Public Hearing had had another item listed in it. He said he remembered there being a notation to limit remarks to three minutes. He would like to have this put back in the listing. S. Please limit your testimony to three minutes. 6. These rules are intended to promote an orderly system of holding a public hearing and to give persons an opportunity to be heard Commissioner Hall then made a motion to recommend approval of the Planning Commission Rules of Procedure as amended on July 26, 2012. This motion was approved unanimously. Commissioner Carroll then asked if, according to the rules, Commissioner Beaulac would be eligible to hold an office in January based on his prior service. It was determined that he would be eligible given his prior service. 2. Continued Deliberations - CTA-02-12 Proposed Amendments to 19120 Permitted Use Matrix. Assistant Planner Christina Janssen stated she had the information the Commission requested during deliberations on July 12, 2012. The first subject concerned allowing crematoriums in the Corridor Mixed Use zone. Ms. Janssen said she had spoken to the Spokane Regional Health District who informed her crematoriums go through a very rigorous permitting process. Ms. Janssen then said she talked to a manufacturer of the burning units. She said they consist of two chambers; one main burner, which does a majority of the work, and a second chamber, which takes care of any odor or smoke which is left over. Ms Janssen said if a unit was over loaded, it would be possible for emissions to occur. Because of this possibility, staff still recommends not to allow crematories in the CMU zone. Ms. Janssen then discussed the request to allow some office uses in MF-2 zone. Ms. Janssen said she had provided the Planning Commission pages from the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan specifies that the Office zone is used to buffer High Density Residential. The Comprehensive Plan does not mention High Density Residential having any office uses at all. Ms. Janssen said allowing office uses in the MF-2 zone does not fall in line with the Comprehensive Plan. She told the Commission if they wanted to allow any office uses in the MF-2 zone it would require a change to the Comprehensive which could not happen until after Nov. 1, 2012. The final subject Ms Janssen addressed was Entertainment/Recreation Facilities, Indoor. This use was originally proposed to be allowed in the Heavy Industrial zone with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Staff now recommends this should be an allowed as a permitted use subject to special conditions. Ms. Janssen referred to regulations listed in the SVMC 19.70.020, Heavy Industrial zones. Ms. Janssen reminded the Commission the CUP process is lengthy and is generally used to mitigate impacts to residential areas and to allow for public input. She said this type of facility would generally not locate around a residential area. Commissioner Beaulac asked if this amendment were approved, would it prohibit some kind of hazardous use locating next to the recreational facility. Staff responded no. Commissioner Higgins asked if it would make the recreational facility non-conforming. Staff responded that it would not make the facility non-conforming. Planning Manager Planning Commission Minutes 07-26-12 Page 3 of 10 Kuhta said the recreational facility could be conditioned so if a hazardous use moved in next door the recreational facility would have to move. However, it would be very difficult to move them after they were in business and it would be expensive. Commissioner Stoy asked if Marietta was an arterial road. Staff responded it is an arterial. Commissioner Bates asked if the existing crematoriums were up and running before City incorporation. Staff responded that they were in place prior to incorporation. Mr. Bates further asked if they are certified and permitted by the Spokane Regional Health District. Ms. Janssen stated that yes, they are (permitted and certified). Mr. Bates also wanted to confirm there are three crematoriums in the City; one is conforming, SCRAPS, (which only takes care of animals) and two which are both legal non- conforming uses. Commissioner Neill stated he was aware of several places in the Ciry that have office uses in residential areas. He wondered why it was a concern, if offices were already located in this zone and the offices were on an arterial. Commissioner Higgins asked if the owner of Comprehensive Plan amendment CPA-OS-12, (who requested to change the Comprehensive Plan designation from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential) could place an office building on the property instead of a apartment complex. Staff responded that office uses are not allowed in High Densiry Residential areas. Commissioner Bates commented he felt there was enough space for someone to find office space to occupy. He said he was of the opinion there is space available, so it does not inhibit people from coming here. Commissioner Neill said then the property owner could not do what they wanted to on the property. Commissioner Hall shared he had compared the MF-2 zone in other jurisdictions: •Spokane County allows office uses in MF-2, •the City of Spokane conditions the office uses, and • the City of Liberty Lake does not allow any office uses in a MF-2 zone. Commissioner Carroll said he agreed there are enough choices for office space now, but this is a topic that could be considered later. Commissioner Bates said allowing other uses in High Density Residential and Medium Density Residential, could open a can of worms and he agrees with staff to leave the matrix is currently presented. Commissioner Hall asked to clarify if there are only three topics which were requiring a decision. It was confirmed this was correct. Crematoriums, Office uses in HDR zone and Entertainment/Recreational facilities, indoor in the I-2 zone are the only issues remaining. Chair Bates asked the members if there were any objections with the staff recommendation on crematories. Commissioner Carroll stated he did object. Mr. Carroll felt cremation was becoming a more popular service and needed to be allowed in line with funeral homes. He believes allowing crematoriums in the CMU zone would have little impact to land use and would provide better customer service. Commissioner Bates asked if staff was aware of any complaints being filed regarding Planning Commission Minutes 07-26-12 Page 4 of 10 the two crematories located in the Ciry currently. Staff stated they were not aware of any complaints. Commissioner Neill stated he agreed with Mr. Carroll. Commissioner Beaulac wondered about someone who would want to locate an animal cremation business in a residential zone. He asked who would want to locate next to that kind of a business. Commissioner Stoy shared he lives only a few blocks from one of the crematoriums and did not realize it was there for some time. Mr. Stoy agreed with Commissioner Carroll to allow crematoriums for the customer service needs. Commissioner Higgins stated that like businesses should be aligned. Commissioner Carroll made a motion amend the original motion to allow crematoriums in the Corridor Mixed Use zone. The vote on the amendment is four in favor, three against with Commissioners Bates, Beaulac, and Hall dissenting. Commissioner Neill made a motion to amend the original amended motion to allow office uses in MF-2 zoning district. Asst. Planner Janssen reminded the Commission if they pass this amendment the Matrix will no longer be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. It is staffs opinion if the Commission feels strongly about making this change they should wait for a Comprehensive Plan amendment first. Mr. Kuhta also reminded the Commission the High Density Residential section of the Comprehensive Plan makes no reference to allowing, even on a limited basis, any office uses. Mr. Kuhta said the Comprehensive Plan has specifically separated out Office uses from High Density Residential. The vote on the amendment is zero in favor and seven against, motion fails. Commissioner Higgins moved to amend the original amended motion to allow Entertainment/Recreational Facilities, Indoor as an allowed use with the following extra conditions: Entertainment/recreation facilities, indoor shall comply with the following conditions: a. Site must take access directly fi^om an arterial street. b. All required parking must be located on the same parcel as the building/use. c. Th�e proposed site must not be located adjacent to potentially hazardous land uses, such as petroleum storage,foundries or other explosive storage. Commissioner Carroll asked for some clarification on item (b) in the conditions. Mr. Kuhta stated there was a possibility the use might not have enough parking on the parcel they are on, so they might want to request a joint parking agreement. Staff recommends that all parking be located on the same site as the use. Commissioner Stoy asked it if was possible for the use to get a variance, or a parking agreement if they needed it. Mr. Kuhta explained this condition is very specific and the applicant would need to find a site that will accommodate their parking. Commissioner Stoy asked if street parking can count for required parking. Staff responded that the code does not allow street parking to be used for parking requirements. Commissioner Hall stated after some thought he can't support this request. Mr. Hall said the future can't be controlled and he is worried about what could move in and surround this kind of a use. It is an industrial area and that is what the zone is intended for. Commissioner Beaulac asked about the comment which was made earlier regarding if someone moved in next to the recreation facility, if they would have to Planning Commission Minutes 07-26-12 Page 5 of 10 move. Mr. Kuhta said another condition could be added to require the facility to move or do something to mitigate the potential hazard. However, it would be a huge risk, for the property owner and staff would not recommend adding this condition. Ms Janssen stated the Commission could go back to the CUP, which would allow a site specific review. Commissioner Higgins commented there would still be a problem if a hazardous use moved in next door. Ms Janssen said the Hearing Examiner would review the proposal, set conditions and they would remain with the property. Commissioner Bates said this is a growing trend and there are few buildings where this kind of a use could fit. Mr. Bates stated he cannot support this use in a heavy industrial area. Commissioner Higgins said it was mentioned in the public hearing there are not a lot of clear span buildings outside of industrial areas. Commissioner Hall said there are zoning and permitting processes which allow a new building. Commissioner Carroll asked if there was a way to add another condition, asking for a 200 foot buffer around the recreation facility that would not allow any hazardous material to be located within that buffer. Mr. Kuhta stated he would be hesitant to consider that. He explained conditions should be related to the property itself and not to an adjacent property. Commissioner Higgins asked if this would not return the option back to a CUP. Staff responded yes, it would. Commissioner Stoy asked if a heavier landscaping buffer could be required by the new property owner adjacent to the site. Mr. Kuhta stated the City could not require the adjacent land owner to add landscaping. Commissioner Neill stated he was inclined to explore the possibility of requiring the entertainment facility to move if something dangerous moved in next door. Commissioner Beaulac asked if we did make the condition that they would have to move the facility if something hazardous moved in next door, they applicant would know this before investing. Staff answered yes. Commissioner Hall asked if this amendment fell into line with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff answered the Ciry already allows outdoor entertainment facilities. Mr. Kuhta suggested, rather than add another condition which would apply to all uses, it would be simpler to return to the CUP process so the Hearing Examiner can make site specific conditions. Commissioner Carroll stated he would have to vote against this amendment due to his concern about the children. The vote on this amendment is one in favor, six against. Commissioner Neill was the only vote in favor. This motion fails. The amended motion is to approve all changes to the Permitted Use Matrix as presented by staff with the following change, Crematories will be allowed in the Corridor Mixed Use zoning districts. The vote on the amended motion is unanimous in favor. B. New Business: Study Session and Public Hearing for CTA-01-12 — Proposed Amendment to 19120 Permitted Use Matrix,Allow Animal Shelters in Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) Assistant Planner Karen Kendall gave a presentation to the Commission regarding the proposed amendment to allow animal shelters in the CMU zoning district. Ms. Kendall explained that animal shelters are currently only allowed in Light and Heavy Industrial. Planning Commission Minutes 07-26-12 Page 6 of 10 Ms. Kendall stated this is a privately initiated amendment and the applicant is Spokane Counry. Spokane County is requesting the animal shelters be a permitted use in the Corridor Mixed Use (CMU)zone Ms Kendall provided three options for the Commission to consider: if they chose to recommend approval of this amendment: 1. Allow animal shelters as a permitted use; or 2. Allow animal shelters as a permitted use with conditions: a. No outside runs or areas b. Must follow all standards of Title 22, Design and Development Standards c. Must be owned by a public entity; or 3. Allow animal shelters only with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). This option would require a hearing in front of the Hearing Examiner, which would allow the residence in the area to comment and for mitigation of site specific impacts such as noise, odor, lights, etc. Ms Kendall stated it is staff's recommendation to allow animal shelters with a CUP. Commissioner Bates opened the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. Commissioners had questions of staff before taking public testimony. Commissioner Carroll asked the difference between an animal shelter and a kennel. Staff stated the difference for the City is the scale. Animal shelter provides more than temporary housing for the animals, it also supplies licensing, training, a crematorium, 100 dog runs, provide for cats, and quarantine for dangerous dogs. Kennels are for personal animals, shelters are for strays and abandoned animals. However, staff noted there is no definition for an animal shelters in the code. Commissioner Carroll asked if kennel is was a conditional use in the matrix. Staff responded it was a permitted use. Mr. Carroll asked about a business called Flintlock Kennels, which had been referenced on an exhibit listing several other kennels in the City, provided along with the staff report. Staff stated this business is a legal non-conforming use with 50 indoor runs. It was also discussed this kennel is on the edge of the City which is very rural in nature. Commissioner Hall announced Spokane County was a client of his firm, however since this request was not site-specific he felt he could participate without issue. Commissioner Bates asked if the animal crematorium was regulated by Spokane Regional Clean Air. Ms. Kendall stated that SCRAPS had received a new crematorium in 2000, which was permitted by Spokane Regional Health District and they receive a new permit every year. Ms. Kendall also shared if SCRAPS were to move, they would be required to get a new permit. Commissioner Stoy read the rules to the public hearing. John Pederson, 1116 West Broadway: Mr. Pederson stated he is the Planning Manager for Spokane County and he was the applicant for the proposal. Mr. Pederson stated the Counry would like to propose the animal shelters be a permitted use, with conditions. The Planning Commission Minutes 07-26-12 Page 7 of 10 conditions would be that the shelter must be owned by a public entity. Mr. Pederson stated this would limit the project by nature of the use. He also said all kennel activity should occur indoors and the shelter would have to comply with all of the requirements of SVMC Title 22 landscaping, signage, buffering. Mr. Pederson stated there are a wide variety of uses allowed in the CMU zone without any conditions which would have a far higher impact than an animal shelter. Mr. Pederson stated a high school would have a far greater impact than animal shelter serve the regional needs of the communities. Mr. Pederson pointed out the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. He stated Land Use Policy 9.2 allows public and quasi public uses in Corridor Mixed Use. He stated the staff recommends approval of this amendment. Mr. Pederson said the CMU zone already allows kennels as an outright permitted use and an animal shelter is just a larger version of a kenneL Mr. Pederson asked Mr. Kuhta how many complaints the City had received regarding SCRAPS. Mr. Kuhta responded none that he was aware o£ Mr. Pederson continued that this text amendment fits the zoning district and if the Commission was concerned about compatibiliry they could add more conditions. Commissioner Carroll asked if the county routinely provided service other than to dogs and cats. Mr. Pederson stated he would defer the answer to the representative from SCRAPS. He had visited the SCRAPS facility, however all he was aware of was dogs and cats. Todd Mielke, 1116 W. Broadway: Mr. Mielke is a Spokane County Commissioner, Mr. Mielke stated he was a proponent of this proposal. Mr. Mielke said the County did a thorough analysis of where to move the SCRAPS facility Mr. Mielke commented this amendment is consistent with Comprehensive Plan Policy 9.2 which allows for public or quasi-public uses. Mr. Mielke stated if the County was proposing another similar use, it would be outright permitted for example; veterinarian clinic, pet shop, kennel, indoor kennel. Mr. Mielke stated there would be no limitation to the amount of runs, in the examples mentioned, would be permitted without conditions. He shared there are some veterinarian clincs expanding to do boarding, which would still allow them as a permitted use. SCRAPS does not have an in-house veterinarian, they have chosen to veterinarians in the community instead. Mr. Mielke stated the Counry agrees with staff, agrees with Comprehensive Plan, the only discussion would be if this should be CUP or a permitted use, or permitted with conditions. Mr. Mielke stated he felt the largest concerns would be traffic and lighting issues. He said he thought there were permitted uses which cause more light and traffic concerns, for example; traffic and light - convenience stores, high schools, noise - auto and light truck sales, car washes, clubs, outdoor entertainment, taverns, indoor theaters, smell - bakery, micro-brewery, plastic injection molding, resturants, each one would have more impact than the County feels an animal shelter would have. Mr. Mielke said he would address the question regarding the rypes of animals which would be housed at the facility. He commented mostly cats and dogs, there have been some exotic animals but there are ordinances in place now so they are phasing out. He commented when SCRAPS is faced with an animal cruelty case some larger animals are taken to the fairgrounds. Commissioner Stoy asked if SCRAPS had a veterinarian on the premise. Mr. Mielke stated SCRAPS had relationships with several veterinarians, and if there was a problem SCRAPS would mostly take the animals to the vet clinics. However if there was a problem, like a Planning Commission Minutes 07-26-12 Page 8 of 10 hording situation, some of the vets will come to the location where the animal is, shelter, fairgrounds, etc. Mr. Stoy asked if a vet should determine if an animal is determined it needs to be euthanized, would the vet return the animal to the shelter. Mr. Mielke deferred the answer to Ms. Montana. Nicole Montana, 2521 N Flora Rd.: Ms. Montana stated she was the Operations Manager for SCRAPS. Ms. Montana stated SCRAPS is licensed to euthanize animals on site. Commissioner Bates asked if operating hours would be expanded. Mr. Mielke answered currently SCRAPS is open six days a week, but have on-call services 24-7..These hours are for emergencies like a dangerous dogs. He said those would be the only people to access the building after hours. Ms. Montana clarified with the regional model there are plans to be open seven days a week, but closed holidays. Commissioner Beaulac asked how many other shelters there were in Spokane County. Commissioner Mielke replied SCRAPS was the only government owned-operated shelter. There is the Humane Society on E. Freya area, they operate as a non profit facility, they also have a crematorium. Then there is Spokanimal, plus a number of animal rescue groups which operate in the area. Mr. Mielke commented SCRAPS works very well with the other shelters in the area, some concentrate more on adoption but don't do animal control. SCRAPS does exchange animals with other shelters and has one of the highest release rate, by returning them to the owners or having them adopted. Commissioner Neill asked Commissioner Mielke which option he was looking for specifically. Mr. Mielke responded he would rather have a permitted use, or a permitted use with conditions. Mr. Mielke stated he would rather not have to go through the Conditional Use Permitting process because it was unpredictable. Commissioner Carroll asked a question of staff regarding process. Mr. Carroll asked if Spokane County had asked for a kennel would it require this same process. Ms. Kendall responded if it was presented as a kennel then they would be required to comply with the standards in that zoning district. Commissioner Carroll stated it is just a name difference, however Planning Manager Kuhta joined the conversation to state staff would still review the proposal as an animal shelter based on staff's interpretation of the code. Chairman Bates closed the public hearing at 7:50 p.m. The Commission took a break at 7:49 and returned at 7:57 p.m. Commissioner Hall moved the Planning Commission recommend approval of code text amendment CTA-01-12 to allow animal shelters in the CMU zoning district, subject to conditions, to the City Council. Chairman Bates clarified the staff recommendation was to allow the use with a Conditional Use Permit, Mr. Hall's motion is recommend allowing the use with special conditions. Ms. Kendall stated staff would like to request the Planning Commission make one of the conditions be the use must be located on an arterial. Ms. Kendall one of the options offered in the presentation was to allow the use with conditions, which were laid out as the conditions listed in 19.60.080(A)(4) along with two others. Adding the condition of locating on an arterial would be a fifth condition. Planning Commission Minutes 07-26-12 Page 9 of 10 Commissioner Neill stated he talked to Gail Mackie, director of Spokanimal and asked her how she felt about it. Mr. Neill stated Ms. Mackie stated she thought this would be a good idea, put the shelters closer together which would allow an easier exchange of animals if it was necessary. Commissioner Beaulac asked the City of Liberty Lake wanted to open a shelter, would it be allowed. Mr. Kuhta stated that is a situation that is being discussed right now. Chairman Bates clarified the motion: Animal Shelters will be a permitted use with the following conditions as referenced in 19.60.080 (and whichever section would follow) a. Shelter must be owned and operated by a public entity, and b. Shelter must comply with all standard of the SVMC Title 22; and c. There are no outside runs; and d. Compliance with noise standard for a commerical noise souce as identificed by WAC 173-60-040 has been demonstrated by the applicant, and e. Shelter must be located on an arterial, and £ Outside recreational areas will be allowed only with human supervision. The vote on the motion is seven in favor, zero against, Motion Passes. X. GOOD OF THE ORDER Commissioner Carroll stated he would like to request to develop and indoor /outdoor entertainment recreation facility overlay for the Comprehensive Plan. Planning Manager Kuhta stated it would be a fairly narrow zone, and it would be difficult to create. Commissioner Carroll would like to see something that would avoid the confusing from this evening. Mr. Kuhta explained that is what the Permitted Use Matrix is for, showing where specific uses are allowed. Mr. Kuhta reminded the Commission the City would want to be careful with its industrial zones, and try and protect them. Employment in Industrial zones is an important issue for the City. Mr. Kuhta stated he would need to think more about this issue and have more discussion with staf£ Mr. Kuhta stated staff has a very long list of amendments which have priority this could possibility be lower down on the list if it were added. Staff has several amendments coming forward in the near future. Commissioner Carroll stated he was fine as long as it is on the list. XL ADJOURNMENT The being no other business the meeting was adjourned at 8:22 p.m. Bill Bates, Chairperson Deanna Griffith, PC Secretary Date signed Planning Commission Minutes 07-26-12 Page 10 of 10 CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: September 4, 2012 Department Director Approval: � Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing ❑ information � admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Regulation of Certain Commercial Vehicles in Residential Zones GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 9.05.010; WAC 308-330-462; RCW 46.61.570; RCW 46.44.080. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: At the May 29, 2012 C ity Council meeting, Council received an adm inistrative report on potentially restricting semi-truck parking in residential zones and at the June 26, 2012 Council meeting, received a follow up administrative report from the perspective of the professional trucking community. BACKGROUND: Truck parkinq and use of refriqeration units in residential neiqhborhoods - On May 29, 2012, staff provided information to Council regarding how other jurisdictions have regulated the parking of semi-trucks (i.e. tractor trailers) in residential areas. C ouncil requested the report because Council had received information from citizens, including public testimony at formal Council meetings, that large commercial vehicles (such as semi-trucks) are being parked in residential areas of the City and that this is causing several difficulties for the residents in those areas. The reported concerns include noise from continuous idling (particularly during the winter months and in the early morning hours) and operation of refrigeration units, obstruction of traffic, and aesthetics. On June 26, 2012, staff provided information to Council from the perspective of the professional trucking community on the necessity and potential impact of regulating semi-trucks in residential zones. T he trucking representatives reported that independent owner/operators are the individuals most likely to park semi-trucks at or near their homes in residential zones. The primary reasons are the security of their truck and cargo, as well as saving the costs associated with parking at truck stops or private parking lots. With respect to the potential regulation of the noise caused by the idling of the trucks or the operation of attached refrigeration units, the truckers expressed the following opinions: • All interviewees felt responsible drivers do not idle their vehicles at night or during the day. All stated that idling is not necessary, even during the winter, because all trucks have electric engine block heaters that can be plugged in, which ensures the truck can be started in cold weather. • All interviewees believed individuals should not be allowed to run "reefers" in residential neighborhoods because reefers are too loud. "Reefers" are cooling units on refrigerator trailers. • Most interviewees agreed that a ban on running a generator on a truck in a residential neighborhood would be reasonable, particularly if the ban was limited to evening and early morning hours. 1 • All interviewees stated that responsible drivers are courteous and do not park their semi- trucks at street corners so as to obstruct clear view triangles. • Interviewees stated that they would not be o pposed to an ant i-idling ordinance to prevent persons from idling their semi-trucks and/or running reefers and generators in residential neighborhoods, but believe that adopting a parking ban is overbroad. As reported at the May 29, 2012 meeting, the City does not currently have a C ode provision preventing persons from parking semi-trucks in residential zones. Likewise, there are no State laws preventing the parking of such vehicles in residential areas. However, the City does have authority to adopt such parking regulations by Code (RCW 46.61.570(2); WAC 308-330-462; and SVMC 9.05.010). Similarly, the City has the authority to amend the provisions of SVMC 8.25.060, the City's noise provisions, to restrict the idling of semi-trucks, the operation of such trucks and/or mounted refrigeration units in residential areas, or to adopt a new Code chapter regulating various activities of semi-trucks and other commercial vehicles in residential zones. A number of other jurisdictions have enacted code provisions that prevent the parking of semi- trucks and other large vehicles in residential areas. Examples of those provisions were included in the May 29, 2012, RCA (Request for Council Action form). Since the June 26, 2012, report on the issue, additional questions were raised concerning the appropriateness of restricting the operation of semi-truck travel to arterial streets, except for the purpose of local deliveries and/or overnight parking at the operator's residence. Larpe truck impacts — weiqht - Potential reasons for regulating semi-truck travel to arterial streets include citizen safety and the potential of heavy loads to degrade the asphalt surfaces of residential streets, which are not designed for repeated use by heavy vehicles. Although semi- trucks are large, heavy vehicles, they typically have enough axels to distribute the weight such that weight should not be considered a primary reason for restriction. Larqe truck impacts — safety - Of more concern is that when a semi-truck is traveling down a residential street, vehicles traveling in the opposite direction may have difficulty passing. This is particularly so if there are other vehicles parked along the roadway, further restricting the width of the lanes of travel. Additionally, many residential streets end up as de facto play areas for children for bicycling, skateboarding, basketball, as well as jogging routes for citizens. Any collision between a heavy vehicle and a pedes trian or cyclist would likely be a very serious event. Larqe truck impacts — conqestion - A question was raised as to whether restricting commercial truck traffic to arterials and g enerally away from residential streets would result in increased congestion at arterial intersections. Inga Note, the City's Senior Traffic Engineer, does not anticipate any noticeable impact if such restrictions were put in place. As such, the Council could consider doing so. If Council does not choose to adopt an ordinance generally prohibiting/limiting commercial truck traffic in specified areas, Council could adopt an ordinance providing authority to enforce the existing "posted no trucks" signs which pre-dated the existence of the City. See attached map. Larpe truck impacts — enforcement options - Using the authority of WAC 308-330-265(17) and/or RCW 46.44.080, a number of Washington jurisdictions have opted to restrict the operation of large vehicles, as generally defined by gross vehicle weight. All jurisdictions imposing such restrictions have exceptions when such vehicles may travel on residential streets for the purposes of a delivery or pickup, for public transit conveyances, and for emergency vehicles. Summaries of code provisions enacted by other jurisdictions are as follows: Seattle: "No person shall operate a v ehicle except authorized buses or stages exceeding ten thousand pounds (10,000) gross weight on any street that is not designated an arterial 2 street; provided, that this section shall not prohibit necessary local operations on s uch nonarterial streets for the purpose of reaching the vehicle's destination or for a pi ckup or delivery." Federal Way: Subject to the limitations of RCW 46.44.080 local authority over state highways, Federal Way allows its public works director to: (a) Prohibit the operation thereon of trucks or other vehicles; (b) Impose limits as to weights; (c) Determine haul routes for local trips; and (d) Impose any other restrictions as may be deemed necessary, in the judgment of the public works director, which restriction may be i mposed on s chool buses, public transit, and emergency vehicles, except under emergency response conditions, in addition to trucks and other vehicles. Once the public works director has imposed a r estriction, appropriate signage must be posted. Further, the Code defines truck routes for vehicles over 30,000 pounds GVW and requires any carrier using vehicles over that weight making and engaged in a defined amount of local delivery per month, to apply for a special permit. Algona Algona's Code makes it unlawful, without a valid permit, to operate any vehicle on a s treet or alley of the city with a licensed gross vehicle weight in excess of 14,000 pounds. Further, it defines specific truck routes for overload trucks where permits are not required. It also creates exemptions for: (a) All vehicles owned and operated by governmental agencies; (b) Emergency vehicles and solid waste disposal vehicles; (c) Vehicles transporting perishable goods or commodities to locations within the city for local delivery; (d) Recreational vehicles including motor homes, campers, and travel trailers; and (e) Tractors of combination vehicles belonging to or operated by persons permanently residing within the city limits and used for commuting to work places located outside of the city limits. Bellevue: Provides that, "No person shall operate a vehicle or combination of vehicles and trailers exceeding 10,000 pounds gross licensed weight, except authorized buses and solid waste disposal vehicles, on a ny street that is not designated by the city as an ar terial street; provided, that this section does not prohibit operation of such vehicles on other than arterial streets when necessary to travel to or from destinations within the city, or to or from destinations within one-half mile of the city limits of the city of Bellevue." Spokane: Provides that, "Excluding authorized buses, emergency vehicles, public utility vehicles, and solid waste disposal vehicles, no per son may operate a vehicle exceeding ten thousand pounds gross weight on any street that is: (A) not designated an ar terial street or neighborhood collector arterial, or (B) specifically prohibited by resolution of the city council; except for such local operations on other streets as is necessary to reach the vehicle's destination or for pickup or delivery." Spokane also designates certain streets as truck routes. OPTIONS: (A) No action, or (B) request staff to draft one or more ordinances to restrict: (i) operation of vehicles over a s pecified gross vehicle weight; (ii) parking of vehicles over a specified gross vehicle weight or length; (iii) restricting noise from the idling of such vehicles; (iv) operating refrigeration units attached to the defined vehicles, in residential zones; and/or (v) enforcing the existing "posted no trucks" signs which pre-dated the City. 3 RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Direction through consensus from the City Council on which option, if any, the Council would like to pursue. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None anticipated, unless Council chooses to adopt Code provisions with permits similar to Algona or Federal Way.

This is commonly referred to as "piggybacking" on the contract of the other entity. One of the requirements is the adoption of an interlocal agreement by both entities which provides such authority. This proposed interlocal agreement meets that requirement. There are other requirements specific to each piggybacked purchasing event, and staff would be happy to provide the information if the Council is interested. Staff is proposing this interlocal purchasing agreement with Spokane County in the near term so the City can purchase additional Mobile Data Computers (MDC) for use by our City Police Department, and the grant funds expire September 30, 2012. This would allow the City to utilize the County contract, which is priced substantially below normal retail pricing.

C ouncil gave consensus to submit New Freedom Applications to SRTC. On February 14, 2012 an I nfo RCA was provided in council's packet. On March 20, 2012 an Admin report was given to council. On March 27th, 2012 Council authorized the city manager to execute the contract between Spokane Transit Authority (STA) and the city. BACKGROUND: Federal New Freedom grant funds from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) are targeted towards projects and programs that provide new or enhanced public transportation and public transportation alternatives for individuals with disabilities in both rural and urban areas. Eligible capital projects include sidewalks, accessible bus stops and shelters. Use of these funds requires a 20% local match. City employees coordinated with STA and FTA developing site plans and receiving approval of the environmental documents for the project. FTA and STA approved the authorization of funding for improvements set forth in the grant application. However, STA later learned that the total amount of funds available was $178,790; less than originally anticipated. Staff completed the Phase 1 design of the project including sidewalk extensions on Park Road (8tn to 12th) and Montgomery Ave (at University). Phase 2 will include bus shelter pad at various locations throughout the city. Phase 1 was advertised and bids are scheduled to be opened Friday, September 7th. Council award of the project is currently scheduled for Tuesday, September 11tn OPTIONS: Information Only RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Information Only BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The required match on New Freedom funded projects is 20%. With a total grant amount of $178,790, the city's match is $44,698. The total project budget is therefore $223,488. STAFF CONTACT: Steve M.

BACKGROUND: Council requested that staff take a look at how Appleway Avenue between Thierman Road and University Road could be improved aesthetically with possible landscaping and/or stormwater swale improvements. Current roadside landscape conditions can be categorized as follows: 1. Irrigated landscaping, maintained by property owners fronting Appleway Avenue. 2. Non-irrigated swales planted with native grasses that turn brown during summer months. 3. Areas that could add swales to enhance stormwater treatment. 4. Other areas that could be improved aesthetically with landscape improvements. 5. Fencing, hardscape, and other areas prohibitive to landscaping. Staff hired a landscape architectural consultant to review the existing available right-of-way, evaluate the existing swale areas and other potential landscape areas, and develop preliminary cost estimates to beautify Appleway. The consultant provided a draft feasibility study on 28 August 2012, which staff is currently reviewing and evaluating. Once finalized, staff will present the results to council.
