of the administration and planning allocation is provided for qualified planning projects related to
economic development or housing. Also limited by statute is the human service allocation at 15% of
2005 available funds or approximately $225,000.
The County has indicated that it will typically receive requests for funding that is two to three times the
amount of the available funding. The following projects are a preliminary list. Staff is still evaluating
additional projects that may be eligible for CDBG funding; staff will present an overview of all potential
projects at the October 19"' meeting.

To keep our citizens safe, The City of Spokane
Valley has adopted standards that require our
street intersections to remain free from any sight
or vision obstructions. These obstructions can be
anything from tree limbs, fences or any other ob-
jects that may block a driver or pedestrians view
at an intersection.
C_onaollecl- Tnte s
There are two types of intersections. Controlled
intersections are street corners that have stop
lights or signs to control traffic flow.
• The controlled intersection visibility is deter-
mined by various speeds and takes into ac-
count that only one vehicle direction is
continuing through the intersection at a time.

The second type of intersection is the uncontrolled inter-
section. This is typically a four way intersection with no
lights or signs.
• The uncontrolled intersection has the same vision
distance down each street

As you can see in the above diagrams, the exact length
and depth of the clear view area that will be maintained
depends upon the type of control at the intersection.
Other areas of concern are fences and overgrown vegeta-
tion.
• Fences on street corners may not be more than
three (3') feet for solid fences and four (4') feet for
chained Zink fences meas-
ured from street level.
• Another feature of the new ordinance is that you
may fence to the property line on a side or flanking
street with six (6') high fencing if you stay out of the
right of way and do not build in the cross hatched
area.
• Please keep in mind, any fence over six (6') feet in
height requires a City of Spokane Valley Building
Permit
• Overgrown vegetation such as tree limbs, shrubs,
and bushes must be property maintained to keep all
travel passageways (both traffic and pedestrian)
clear of obstruction.
• At intersections the area between 36 inches and 84
inches above the ground is required to be clear
of any obstructions. If rneasured from the sidewalk
level, you must be under 36 inches.
• All traffic stop lights and signs must be kept com-
pletely visible at all times to insure the safety of all
pedestrians and motorists.

RE: CLEAR VIEW REQUIREMENTS AT STREET CORNERS
Dear Fence Contractor;
Recently, the City of Spokane Valley City Council adopted new standards for providing a clear
view of approaching traffic at street intersections. The reason we are contacting you is
because many of the intrusions into these clear view areas have been caused by fences. As a
responsible fence contractor, we know that if we can get the information to you up front, we
may be able to avoid asking you to remove or replace some of your work because of a
misunderstanding.
The ordinance requires that street intersections remain free from sight /vision obstructions so a
vehicle either stopped at or entering the intersection may see pedestrians or another
approaching vehicle as either may be entering the same intersection.
There are two types of intersections that we are dealing with, the controlled intersection
where there is a stop light or sign, and the uncontrolled intersection that is typically a four way
intersection with no light or sign. The uncontrolled intersection has the same vision distance
down each street, and the controlled intersection accounts for the fact that one vehicle
direction is not continuing through the intersection.

As long as you keep your solid fence height in the cross hatch corners at three feet or less -four
feet or less if it is a chain link fence • above the street level, and out of the public right of
way, there shouldn't be any concern. Remember, any fence over six feet in height requires a
City of Spokane Valley Building Permit.
Another feature of the new ordinance is that you can fence to the property line on a side or
flanking street with 6 feet high fencing if you stay out of the right of way and don't build in
the cross hatched area.
Please make sure you comply with these requirements. The obstruction free requirements the
City has adopted are less stringent than Spokane County previously enforced. When we
discover situations that have preexisting violations, we are going to require compliance. That
is, obstructions will be required to be removed, however they won't be required to be
corrected to the old, more severe requirement, but to the new requirements illustrated in the
drawings on the previous page.
If you are unclear of these requirements or if you would care to contact me concerning this
letter, my direct phone number at the City of Spokane Valley, Washington is 509.688.0024.

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: October 19, 2004 City Manager Sign -off:
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent x old business
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motorized foot scooters.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 46.61 RCW.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
❑ new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information x admin. report ❑ pending legislation
August 10, 2004 — Administrative Report.
September 14, 2004 — Initial discussion on policy points.
September 28, 2004 — Second discussion on policy points.
BACKGROUND:
Several citizens of Spokane Valley have registered complaints with the city about the increasing
use of motorized foot scooters in the city. Included in the discussion of motorized foot scooters
are such machines commonly referred to as 'pocket rockets' or "mini- choppers ". Citizen
complaints have focused on two general areas of concern: (1) the noise these machines make;
and (2) the safety of operators of these machines, especially when the operators are young.
Per Council instruction, staff has collaborated with the drafters of a similar Spokane draft
ordinance to prepare a draft ordinance for consideration by the Council. It has been tailored to
reflect Spokane Valley ordinances. We did not include provisions relating to confiscation of
motorized foot scooters due to potential constitutional concerns about governmental "taking" of
personal property. Other jurisdictions have enacted such provisions, but they have not been
tested in court. Staff recommends putting that issue on hold and implementing these less
restrictive measures to see how effective they are before enacting a confiscation policy for
violation of the scooter provisions of the code.
Staff will also discuss the issue of parental responsibility for violations committed by individuals
under the age of 16.
OPTIONS: Pursue enacting ordinance as submitted for first reading; instruct staff to revise and
resubmit the draft ordinance for further review by the Council; instruct staff to do nothing.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION:

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON
ORDINANCE NO. 04-
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, WASHINGTON,
RELATING TO THE USE OF MOTORIZED PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION
DEVICES WITHIN THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY BY ESTABLISHING A
MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT FOR OPERATORS AND LIMITING
MOTORIZED PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION DEVICE USE ON
SIDEWALKS, STREETS, PUBLIC TRAILS AND IN PARKS; AND
ESTABLISHING REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATING SUCH MOTORIZEI)
PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION DEVICES SAFELY.
WHEREAS, the City Council makes the following findings regarding the. current unregulated use
of Motorized Personal Transportation Devices within the city limits:
WHEREAS, the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 46.61.710 authorizes the use of Motorized
Personal Transportation Devices upon streets of the State, but grants authority to local jurisdictions to
regulate or otherwise limit their use and operation; and
WHEREAS, RCW 46.61.710 does not establish minimum age requirements for operation of
Motorized Personal Transportation Devices, thereby creating a great risk of injury and /or property
damage caused by young, untrained, and /or inexperienced operators who lack sufficient judgment to
safely operate a motorized vehicle upon public streets and ways; and
WHEREAS, RCW 46.61.710 does not make use of protective helmets mandatory for operators of
Motorized Personal Transportation Devices, although the risk of serious injury to operators of motorized
foot scooters who do not wear a protective helmet is clear; and
WHEREAS unregulated operation of Motorized Personal Transportation Devices upon the
City's streets, sidewalks, and public trails increases the risk of accidental injury to operators of Motorized
Personal Transportation Devices, other vehicular operators, and pedestrian traffic, and also increases the
risk of damage to property; and
WHEREAS, shared use of sidewalks and public trails by pedestrians and Motorized Personal
Transportation Devices increases the risk of injury to sidewalk and trail users and reduces the desirability
of foot traffic as an alternative to motor vehicle use within the City, indicating that mixed use by
motorized and non- motorized traffic on sidewalks and public trails should be limited as much as is
practical; and
WHEREAS, providing minimum requirements as to the use of Motorized Personal
Transportation Devices would increase the health, safety, and welfare of citizens of Spokane Valley.
follows:
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Washington, do ordain as
Section 1. Intent. The City of Spokane Valley declares that regulating the use and operation
of Motorized Personal Transportation Devices is necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the
public. Therefore, the intent of this ordinance is to promote the safe operation and maintenance of
Motorized Personal Transportation Devices in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of' the
public.

FROM: CHIEF CAL WALKER
RE: HOMELESS / PANHANDLING
DATE: OCTOBER 11, 2004
C J
Earlier this year, after the City of Spokane enacted a "Camping Ban" on certain properties
located within the city limits, we here in the City of Spokane Valley began to see an increase in
the amount of transient activity inside of our city limits. This same increase also brought an
associated increase in the amount of activity reported in panhandling on city streets and corners,
as well as some of the property crimes associated with a transient density.
Anticipating that the actions taken by the City of Spokane would result in these increases, we
requested a meeting with several of the local care providers, mental health professionals and
outreach teams in hopes that we could partner in addressing the growing concerns of homeless
activity and associated begging and panhandling issues within our community. The desire would
be to develop a working association with community providers and the homeless in finding
alternative resources for housing and possible job- related activities.
1 have met with several individuals from the Spokane Homeless Coalition, Spokane Mental
Health, the Homeless Outreach Team and Spokane Neighborhood Action Programs (SNAP).
During these meetings, we have discussed a new venture which would put us together as partners
in contacting the homeless in our area prior to issues arising from activities that the community
finds annoying, and /or activity that becomes criminal in nature.
This has been a hard concept for some of the agencies to join into. They have worked for years in
trying to establish a way to communicate and resolve problems for many of our area's homeless
individuals. This process has also been hampered by the great number of mentally disabled that
make up our homeless population and the special needs that this group presents.
We have developed a "pilot" attempt at this partnering, and I have assigned one of our corporals,
Bob Christilaw, as our liaison in this venture. He will be working with Darrell Quarles from the
Homeless Outreach Team. i hope that together, we can reach some of the area homeless and
offer alternative programs and services to these individuals. I also would expect some better
lines of communication to occur between our agency and the core transient population.
Knowing that these program alternatives will not be the choice for every case, we will also be
placing some individuals and groups on notice that certain activities conducted by them will be
dealt with under the law. This effort will of course involve our Code Enforcement personnel as
well as a law enforcement contingency.
Attached are some photographs of a newer "campsite" which serves as an example of an
increasing phenomena, as more of the homeless move into the areas that facilitate easy access to
high density exposure and greater numbers of people from which to solicit donations. This
specific area at I -90 / Sullivan has quickly become an area of great concern. Criminal activity
such as vehicle prowling, thefts, disorderly conduct and harassment, etc. are increasing in this
area as the transient population moves in. Also of great concern are the associated health and
sanitation issues that arise from these types of conditions. The local businesses in this area are
already suffering from the new density and associated criminal activity. We also have been
increasingly busy in dealing with the growing number of complaints and investigative work
attributed to the newer living area and access to solicitation sites along the 1 -90 / Sullivan
corridor.
Panhandling issues are of frequent concern to our citizens. We receive many inquiries and
complaints about sign- toting individuals becoming more and more aggressive at local arterial
intersections. As of today, unless the activity of these individuals impedes the flow of traffic or
they obstruct traffic by being in the street, there is no legal authority to remove the individual or
make them stop conducting certain activity that has been interpreted by the courts as a protected
"Free Speech" right. Some jurisdictions have successfully included provisions banning
"aggressive" begging or panhandling. The definitions surrounding the aggressive behaviors are
also open to court interpretation, but can be clearly designed to address certain offensive
language, bullying, etc. that can sometimes be part of the solicitation process.
The content of this report is two -fold. One is a preemptive effort to alleviate a growing condition
inside of our city limits. I would expect a slight downturn in numbers as the weather cools and
snow begins to accumulate, but we should be better prepared to address this community concern
in the spring. The other is opening any discussion that the Council would desire as to directing
the staff to prepare any possible ordinances regarding aggressive panhandling or other issues of
concern.

FROM: CHIEF CAL WALKER
RE: SPECIAL EVENTS
DATE: OCTOBER 19, 2004
As the city evolves and attracts more entertainment for its citizens, the Spokane Valley Police Department
(SVPD) has concerns about public safety at these large events. Events such as concerts, community
related events (ValleyFest, Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony), youth events (The Oneighty Club), beer
gardens, festivals, celebrations such as OctoberFest, St. Patrick's Day, or even New Year's Eve and
private venues such as local bars having promotions.
Our primary concern is crowd and traffic management to promote a safe environment for those attending.
Certain factors go into determining possible need for police presence, or at least, in some cases, police,
fire, or Building and Health .Department notification. These factors include:
• Type of event
• Headliner at event
• Type of crowds responding to event
• Extra activities at these events. Some examples are: potential for alcohol and /or drug use,
potential for gang- related activities, racial motivations, and radical political motivations.
• Potential for violent protest by radical groups or counter protest
• Potential for property damage
• Riots
• Traffic issues /congestion
• Crowd dimensions (whether they are contained in a building or lining the streets of several city
blocks)
• Adequate sanitation and public health issues
Factors are not limited to the above.
SVPD has contacted the Spokane Police Department (SPD) and Starplex Corporation (Crowd
Management) to determine how they handle such large events. SPD determines police presence through
experience and intelligence gathering. This is subjective at best and is determined on a case -by -case
basis. Starplex Corporation does use a "4 -level system" using the factors described above to determine
crowd management at The Gorge Amphitheater, but in Spokane they work with SPD to determine crowd
management: needs.
In this day and age, an additional factor to be considered is the issue of terrorist activities. Large events
are potential targets to both domestic and foreign terrorists.
Again, it is our intent to promote a safe public environment at these events, not to interfere with citizens'
constitutional rights to assemble or to limit free speech. Our desire is to promote and assist in creating a
healthy free enterprise environment where event promoters can bring great activities to our community
with enthusiastic participation by our citizens.
Our request to Council would be to open discussions about any desired implementation of a Special
Events permit process.

RE: BATHHOUSES IN THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
1. Oriental Spa, 9410 E. Sprague
2. Moonlite Spa, 12 N. University
3. Moonlite Spa Too, 7413 E. Trent
DATE: OCTOBER 11, 2004
The City of Spokane Valley has three bathhouses within its city limits. Questions have arisen
regarding whether Spokane County ordinance, Title 7.07, still applies to these establishments.
Currently the City of Spokane Valley does not have an ordinance regulating massage parlors and
bathhouses.
Our shared resource, Investigative Support Unit (ISU), regulates and licenses these
establishments (outside the city limits of Spokane) as well as their employees under Spokane
County Ordinance Title 7.07. Massage Parlors and Bathhouses.
Detective Don McCabe of ISU is responsible for licensing bathhouses and bathhouse employees.
The licensing process requires criminal background checks and the collecting of licensing fees.
ISU personnel also monitor these businesses to make sure they comply with the ordinance.
We would request that the Council consider establishing an ordinance that mirrors the existing
county requirements for licensing establishments and employees.
Attached are copies of:
• Spokane County Ordinance, Title 7.07, Massage Parlors and Bathhouses;
• Temporary and permanent business license;
• Temporary and permanent employee license;
• Incident Report form to document the licensing process;
• Photographs of the three (3) Spokane Valley bathhouses (see PowerPoint)

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT: Zoning Code Use Matrices.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Spokane Valley Ordinance 03 -53
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None
BACKGROUND: During the next several months, Planning Commission will be working on the
implementing regulations for the Comprehensive Plan. This will entail reviewing the schedules
of permitted and accessory uses included in the use matrices, as well as the definitions
associated with those uses. The City Council adopted the Spokane County Comprehensive
Plan pursuant to Ordinance No. 03 -52, subsequently adopting the Zoning Code of Spokane
County as interim development regulations for the new city (Ordinance 03 -53), including
portions of the Phase I Development Regulations. The Phase I regulations (adopted by
Spokane County in May 2002) made several material changes in the earlier regulations:
• Eliminated the cumulative provision that permitted all uses in 6-3 Regional Commercial
in 1 -2 Light Industrial zoning districts. The zoning regulations of many communities
deliberately allow for cumulation: e.g. all UR 3.5 uses allowed in UR -7; all UR -7 uses
allowed in UR -12, etc. within categories (e.g. "Residential "), which may extend between
categories. This action rendered many existing commercial uses non - conforming.
• Eliminated "sales" for automobiles and boats, while retaining "repair and maintenance ",
and continuing to allow sales for equipment and trucks. At the same time, "Retail sales,
related and accessory to allowed uses" is retained, but "Wholesaling" prohibits retail
sales, even though specific individual uses (bakeries, specialty agricultural, retail
nursery, etc.) are allowed.
• While "slaughterhouse" was deleted, uses (although not specifically defined) such as
"rendering plant ", "animal processing" and "stockyards" customarily involving animal
slaughter are permitted. Similarly, "animal clinics — large animals" was prohibited in all
industrial zones, but "Veterinary supplies and services, including vet" are permitted.
City Council added back a number of uses that had been deleted pursuant to Ordinance 03-
053. The same ordinance amended the provisions relating to non - conforming uses, but only as
to those rendered non - conforming as a result of the City's adoption of the ordinance, limited to
parcels which had received a building permit on platted parcels. Non- conforming uses would
not be allowed to expand onto adjacent parcels.
The present Industrial Matrix contains a number of other inconsistencies, e.g. storage of critical
material is an accessory or permitted use in all industrial zones (either above or below ground),
but inflammable liquid /gas storage is permitted only in 1 -3 (Heavy Industrial). When the three
use matrices are combined (Residential, Commercial and Industrial), many other
inconsistencies /ambiguities /conflicts become more apparent. The development of clear
definitions should help resolve many conflicts, and detailed review may indicate that some uses
should not be permitted in an urban area.
The regulations must support the land use priorities of the Comprehensive Plan, and provide
predictability in interpretation and enforcement. In supporting the expansion of existing
commercial enterprises in locations currently zoned industrial with mixed commercial and
industrial uses, and to provide the Planning Commission with guidance in their deliberations
