BACKGROUND: The proposed amendment is a City -initiated code text amendment to Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 22.110.080 to allow wall signs on properties adjacent to the Aesthetic Corridor. Since incorporation the City has regulated signage along designated aesthetic corridors. In 2003, the City adopted Spokane County's regulations as the City's interim regulations pursuant to Ordinance No. 53. The interim code allowed wall signs and freestanding signs up to a height of 8 feet, with an area ranging from 32 - 90 square feet within the office and commercial zones along the designated aesthetic corridor. In 2007, the City adopted the Uniform Development Code pursuant to Ordinance 07-015 which generally replicated the signage requirements along the aesthetic corridor, but modified the areas categorized as an aesthetic corridor, and added a specific reference in the code that only monument signs were allowed along the corridor in an effort to distinguish between freestanding or pole signs, and monument signs. Although signage regulations have been modified since that time, the regulations affecting the aesthetic corridors and the area designated as the aesthetic corridor, have remained generally the same. At this time, only monument signs are allowed on properties in the aesthetic corridor, and thus, even wall signs are prohibited. Staff believes that a change may be appropriate to allow wall signs within the aesthetic corridors. The issues that gave rise to the limitations have largely been addressed and staff believes the modification in 2007 is overbroad at this time. Staff will discuss the regulations as they exist and present the draft ordinance. The Planning Commission (Commission) conducted a study session on the proposed CTA at the October 10, 2019 meeting. On October 24, 2019, the Commission conducted a public hearing and deliberations. At that meeting, the Commission voted 4-0 to recommend to the City Council that CTA-2019-0003 be approved. Although, the Commission did review the designated Aesthetic Corridor area, no changes were proposed to the area. On December 12, 2019 the Commission adopted Findings and Recommendation. OPTIONS: Move to approve Ordinance 20-001 with or without further amendments, or take other action deemed appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve Ordinance No. 20-001 amending SVMC 22.110.080.

There was no public comment. IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS: 09-25-2019 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 4 Discussion, SVMC 22.70.020 Fencing; allowable heights in residential areas, fencing when property elevations differ. Ms. Nickerson explained this discussion is to review a section of the current fencing regulations causing some staff and citizen confusion. The hope is to encourage suggestions from the Planning Commission in order to prepare a comprehensive code text amendment. Ms. Nickerson explained the current regulations require that fence heights be measured from the lowest point within six feet of a fence. Ms. Nickerson continued that SVMC 22.70.020 Section E specifically states that when a fence is placed on top of a slope or retaining wall that height is to be measured from the lowest elevation within six feet of the fence. The City has found that constructing a six-foot fence when measured from the bottom of a retaining wall or heavy slope between two properties with differing elevation does not provide adequate privacy. Ms. Nickerson asked that should the language change and the measurement no longer include the height of the retaining wall or lower elevation of slope, would it still be appropriate to have a full eight -foot -high fence, or would a six-foot high fence be more suitable? Adding that nonresidential uses such as schools, churches and utilities would be limited to the eight -foot -high fence. She asked if that would be in keeping with the character of the neighborhood. Commissioner Friend discussed where the measurement originates from and suggested the measurement originate from the homeowner's side of the fence. Commissioner Walton discussed residents that abut primary arterials and suggested the option of allowing those property owners the ability to build a taller fence for noise reduction. Commissioner Johnson also spoke about front yards on an arterial. He suggested leeway in allowing property owners the ability to build a higher front yard fence. Commissioner Friend felt allowing a taller fence in the front yard was a safety issue in reference to line of sight. Commissioner Walton asked for examples from local municipalities and other jurisdictions relating to front yard fencing and their specific language. Commissioner McKinley's concern was measuring a fence at the lowest point between properties of differing elevations. He was also concerned with clear view triangle issues. Ms. Nickerson advised the fence regulations would not take precedence over the City's sight distance triangle regulations. Commissioner Kelley suggested that the fence measurement be measured at the property line. City Attorney Cary Driskell explained that if the City required the measurement to be right on the property line that would require a survey adding significant costs to the property owner and cautioned against it. Ms. Barlow encouraged the Commission to think about the need of the property owners, as well as neighborhood development. She added that higher front yard fencing may affect the character of a neighborhood especially from a pedestrian standpoint. ii. Discussion, SVMC 22.70.080 Signs; aesthetic corridors. Ms. Barlow advised this discussion is to review a specific section of the aesthetic corridor sign regulations which have caused some concerns. The intent is to encourage discussion from the Planning Commission in order to help prepare a code text amendment. Ms. Barlow explained staff's concerns are that monument signs are allowed in the aesthetic corridor, but wall signs are not allowed. Ms. Barlow provided background into how the City adopted the County's regulations as interim 09-25-2019 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 4 regulations during incorporation in 2003. She noted that at that time the Aesthetic Corridor sign regulations were rolled over from the County. In the 1990's the Aesthetic Corridor regulations developed out of the Board of County Commissioners interest in preserving the entrances and exits into the City's and certain developing areas, as well as reducing billboard signage. Ms. Barlow continued that during the development of the City's Uniform Development Code regulations in 2006 one sentence to the code was added that stated "Only monument signs shall be allowed in the aesthetic corridor," which inadvertently prohibited wall signs. Over the years there has been some inconsistency implementing the code based on the interpretation. Staff feels this conflict is creating an unnecessary restriction on those property owners in the aesthetic corridor. Ms. Barlow provided a presentation with maps identifying the City's aesthetic corridors that include two sections of SR 27, two sections of Appleway Boulevard, Dishman Mica Road, 32' Avenue and Mirabeau Parkway. Ms. Barlow advised the zones surrounding these corridors are predominantly mixed use, multifamily, corridor mixed use and commercial zoning, with nominal residential zoning. Ms. Barlow described the definition of a wall sign, which includes that it be attached directly to the wall of a structure. Current regulations would allow a wall sign to be up to 25 percent of the wall area. Commissioner Johnson suggested separate regulations if the abutting use is residential versus commercial. Ms. Barlow explained that the zoning dictates what uses are allowed; changing the regulations to allow wall signs in the aesthetic corridor will not change the permitted uses allowed nor create opportunity for signage. The sign code does not allow off -premise signage, and therefore a residential use in a residential zone could not have a wall sign advertising another business. Ms. Barlow concluded that she will provide examples of each sign type at the next discussion. iii. Discussion, updating Planning Commission Rules of Procedure. Ms. Nickerson provided a brief introduction into the establishment of the Planning Commission's Rules of Procedure adopted in 2005. The rules of procedure state they are to be reviewed and updated in odd numbered years, the Commission was provided with a strike through version of the proposed changes for review. Commissioner Kelly asked for clarification in regards to what equals a quorum, the appointed Commissioners seats or the majority of the Commissioners present. Ms. Nickerson's interpretation was the majority of the seven -member Commission seats. Commissioner Kelly suggested adding the language "the number of appointed Commissioners". There was some discussion related to a quorum when there are vacant Commission seats. Commissioner Kelly spoke to the vote of a majority of those present as well as the conduct of business. Commissioner Kelley stated that during the 2019 election of officers all necessary parties were present including a quorum of Commissioners. He continued that there was a tie for the position of Chair between Commissioner Johnson and Commissioner Rasmussen whom respectfully declined her nomination. Commissioner Kelley stated there 09-25-2019 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 4 was never a re -vote for Chair, and Commissioner Johnson was not voted into his position appropriately. Commissioner Kelley moved to have a special election to establish a legal vote. He moved that Vice Chair Walton assume role of Chair during the election, and that Commissioner Johnson recuse himself from all leadership roles in this election, but not from voting. Commissioner Walton stated the motion as stated is out of order and would be better suited after the current item or before close of meeting. Mr. Driskell advised the best course of action would be for Commissioner Kelley to withdraw his motion as this should not be voted on without further review. Commissioner Kelley withdrew his motion. Commissioner Walton asked for clarification that if a quorum of the Commission is present and one commissioner recuses themselves from the business at hand, does a quorum remain? Or is the quorum dissolved? It was determined that these issues will be addressed with the City's parliamentarian. Commissioner McKinley advised he appreciated the change related to public testimony being limited and not allowing the speaker to monopolize the time. Commissioner Kelley asked if the pledge of allegiance is going to be removed from the meetings. Ms. Nickerson clarified that particular strike through was to eliminate the entire section titled "recommended order of business for meetings". Doing so will provide flexibility for meeting conduct but does not prohibit the pledge of allegiance. Commissioner Johnson asked if there were any concerns by the Commission in removing the entire section "recommended order of business for meetings". There were no obj ections. Commissioner Walton asked for clarification that Roberts Rules of Order and the order of business refers to small board forums in relation to the format the Planning Commission holds. Ms. Nickerson advised the City's parliamentarian Chris Bainbridge will be invited to attend the next meeting to assist in further details and discussions. X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Commissioner Johnson spoke about SCHRTF progress plan created by Greater Spokane Progress. He spoke about the July 23, 2019 City Council meeting regarding Council Woman Thompsons letter brought forth from the NAACP. Commissioner Johnson was asked to read a statement from SCHRTF at the August 13th, 2019 City Council meeting and read aloud the statement to the Planning Commission. XI. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Kelley moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:17 p.m. The vote on the motion was five in favor, zero opposed, and the motion passed.

Study Session, CTA-2019-0003 a proposed amendment to Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 22.70.080 Signs in the aesthetic corridors. Senior Planner Lori Barlow gave a presentation to the Commissioners regarding the proposed amendment to SVMC 22.70.080, signs in aesthetic corridors. Ms. Barlow explained that over the years there has been inconsistency while implementing the code based on staff interpretations. Staff feels the conflict between the intent of the code and how it is written is creating unnecessary restrictions on property owners in the aesthetic corridors. Ms. Barlow discussed the existing dimensional, zoning and size standards for signs, and how they affect the aesthetic corridors. She noted that the current regulations only allow monument signs in the corridors. She showed examples of monument signs as well as wall and pole signs for a better visual understanding. She noted that the amendment would allow wall signs in the aesthetic corridor consistent with the existing regulations. Current regulations allow a wall sign to be up to 25 percent of the wall area. The proposed change would be to strike the 10-10-2019 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 3 sentence which states "only monument signs are allowed in the aesthetic corridors." The other changes proposed are only for the purpose of cleaning up the code with no substantive change. Commissioner Johnson stated he would support the change but expressed concerns regarding flashing signs. He said he thought they could be distracting and might ruin the feeling of the aesthetic corridor. Ms. Barlow explained that there are regulations in place which control the flashing elements of a sign, automatic dimming is required which causes the brightness to dim to the ambient light. There were no other items brought up for discussion. Ms. Barlow concluded a public hearing had been advertised for the October 24, 2019 meeting. ii. Discussion, updating Planning Commission Rules of Procedure. Ms. Nickerson introduced the subject of the Planning Commission Rules of Procedure and stated City Clerk Chris Bainbridge was in attendance to offer assistance in the update. Mrs. Bainbridge mentioned the Council's Governance Manual is updated every year. It addresses items which are not currently in the PC Rules of Procedure such as where members shall sit, and attendance when a member does not show up for meetings. There was considerable discussion over when a quorum would be established and when it would no longer be in effect. Commissioners were concerned if there were only four members in attendance and a vote needed to be taken, but someone would need to recuse themselves would a quorum still exist. It was determined that unless someone actually left the building/meeting a quorum would still exist. Commissioner Rasmussen asked where the time limit came from in regard to speaking at the public hearing. She asked when the time limit was set, who set it and when it could be different. Commissioner McKinley offered that having a specific time limit lets people know what to prepare for and how long they know they will be allowed to speak. If the chair decides to allow a longer time frame, then they can expand, but not knowing does not allow for someone to prepare if they are trying to limit what they are trying to say. Commissioner Johnson offered if there are a few people wishing to speak at a hearing, then he felt the chair could offer more time, but when there were many people to speak, the time limit should be kept to three minutes. After extensive discussion regarding the use of small board rules, the Commissioners determined that they would prefer to have a motion on the floor before they begin discussion. They will no longer discuss the merits of any proposals without a motion. There was some discussion of having one meeting per month, unless there is no business, then staff will contact the Chair and the Vice Chair and discuss cancelling the meeting. X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: The Commissioners thanked Mrs. Bainbridge for her time and expertise in discussing the PC Rules of Procedure. Commissioner McKinley stated he would be unable to attend the October 24, 2019 meeting. XI. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Rasmussen moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:54 p.m. The vote an the motion was seven in favor, zero opposed, and the motion passed.

During the 2019 January election of officers there was a tie for the position of chair between Commissioner Johnson and Commissioner Rasmussen whom withdrew her nomination. There was no re -vote. Staff has determined there is no question as to the validity of Chair Johnson's position as he was the only candidate which clearly implied one outcome with no challenge until September 2019. Mr. Driskell concluded that the Commission makes recommendations to the Council, and there would be no legal consequence in Chair Johnson fulfilling his position through the end of the year. VIII. PUBLIC COMMENT: There was no public comment. IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS: i. Public Hearing: CTA-2019-0003 a proposed amendment to Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 22.110.080 Signs in the aesthetic corridors. Chair Johnson opened the public hearing at 6: 09 p.m. Senior Planner Lori Barlow provided a presentation and background into the proposed amendment. On October 4, 2019 a determination of non -significance was issued and a notice of public hearing was mailed. On October 12, 2019 the Commission conducted a study session and tonight the public hearing is being held. Should a recommendation be made by the Commission at the close of the public hearing, it will be formalized in the Findings of Fact on November 14, 2019. 10-24-2019 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 3 Ms. Barlow explained the proposed amendment to SVMC 22.110.080 is to allow wall signs in the aesthetic corridors as they are currently regulated within the SVMC. Ms. Barlow described that currently, per code, only monument signs are allowed in the seven aesthetic corridors, and staff feels this specific language is unnecessarily restrictive. Current wall sign regulations allow a wall sign to be up to 25 percent of the wall area, and those dimensional standards are not proposed to be modified. The proposed change intends to allow the wall signs in the aesthetic corridors by striking the sentence which states "only monument signs are allowed in the aesthetic corridors." All other changes proposed are refining the code language with no substantive change. Ms. Barlow concluded with a response to Chair Johnsons concern at the previous meeting regarding ambient lighting. She explained that within each sign there is an automatic sensor that adjusts the signs brightness as it relates to the ambient light. The City has stipulations in SVMC 22.110.060 stating that all electronic message centers have automatic dimmable capabilities that adjust the brightness to the ambient light conditions at all times of the day and night. This code also requires written documentation that the dimming capabilities exist and are verified by inspection. Commissioner Rasmussen gave an example of her personal experience with a bright sign and its affects. She asked if any jurisdictions have an illumination cap. Ms. Barlow explained that due to the scope of the proposal to allow wall signage in the aesthetic corridor that was not researched. However, she does know there is an industry standard relating to lumens. Commissioner Johnson expressed his concerns with changing colors and scrolling signs. He is concerned with how this could change the character of the aesthetic corridor and worries that allowing lighted motion signs would be distracting to drivers. Ms. Barlow explained that should this be approved the current parameters in code would prohibit lighting hazards such as flashing, strobe or running lights. Chair Johnson closed the public hearing at 6:26 p.m. Commissioner Friend moved to recommend to City Council the approval of CTA- 2019-0003 as presented. Commissioner Johnson recommended there be no changing lights in the aesthetic corridor as he feels this would be a distraction. Commissioners Kaschmitter and Friend understood Commissioner Johnsons concerns but felt as though the current regulations put in place would alleviate the matters related to flashing and/or changing lights limiting distractions. The vote on the motion was four in favor, zero opposed, and the motion passed ii. Study Session: CTA-2019-0004, a proposed amendment to SVMC 22.70.020 Fencing, fence heights in residential zones. Ms. Nickerson provided a brief discussion related to fencing regulations in the residential zones. Ms. Nickerson explained that in researching other jurisdictions the City of Spokane and Spokane County limit the height of residential fences to six feet. However, they have no definition as to how the height is measured. Liberty Lake and Post Falls regulate that fence height be measured from the lowest grade elevation at the base of the fence. Airway Heights and Franklin County regulate the height of a retaining wall be included in the 10-24-2019 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 3 measurement of a fence, which is consistent with the City's current code language. Ms. Nickerson added the City's current language also requires the height be measured at the lowest grade elevation within six feet of the fence horizontally. The City has found that constructing a six-foot fence when measured from the bottom of a retaining wall, or heavy slope between two properties with differing elevation, does not provide adequate privacy. Ms. Nickerson stated the proposed language would add Section C. indicating that an administrative exception may be granted for a fence of more than six feet in height, but no more than eight feet in height, with a permitted non-residential use in a residential zone. This would allow more flexibility for non-residential uses such as schools, churches and utilities. Ms. Nickerson explained Section E would strike the language indicating that fence height be measured from the lowest grade elevation within six feet of the fence and would simply state "the height of a fence shall be measured from the base of the fence". Ms. Nickerson spoke to a comment by the Commission related to fence height of six feet versus eight feet. With the proposed change the measurement would no longer include the retaining wall. This proposed change would provide a different method of measuring the height making it more appropriate to limit the fence height to six feet. After some discussion it was concluded to be the case. iii. Study Session: Updating Planning Commission Rules of Procedure. Ms. Nickerson introduced the subject of the Planning Commission Rules of Procedure (ROP) and provided background into the discussions and comments from the previous meetings. Administrative Assistant Deanna Horton explained there were three sections of the ROP in need of consideration related to attendance, time limit of public testimony, and how often the rules should to be reviewed. Ms. Nickerson spoke to the section regarding attendance to include excused and unexcused absences. She added this section is new and is consistent with the Council's Governance Manual. Ms. Nickerson addressed the section related to time limit for testimony. After some discussion it was concluded the Commission will impose a three -minute time limit for public testimony. Lastly, it was determined that a review of the ROP be conducted every three years due to commission member turn over and to determine whether changes are necessary and/or appropriate at that time. X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: The Commissioners thanked staff for all of their efforts and hard work. XI. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Kaschrnitter moved to adjourn the meeting at 6:55 p.m. The vote on the motion was four in favor, zero opposed, and the motion passed.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Sheri Robinson, City of Spokane Valley; Ms. Robinson asked the Commission to revisit a code change related to multifamily housing in providing green space for playgrounds and pools. She spoke about millennials and retirees wanting higher walkability scores. She spoke about the concerns related to multifamily housing being located in the residential zones adding that multifamily housing needs to be near services and transportation. She also asked the Commission to entertain a crosswalk at 22"d Avenue and University Road near Bowdish Junior High. She explained the middle school students cross there and it is unsafe, she gave several examples to include a fatality. IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS: i. Findings of Fact: CTA-2019-0003, a proposed amendment to SVMC 22.110.0 Signs - Aesthetic corridors. 12-12-2019 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 4 Senior Planner Lori Barlow provided background into the proposed amendment CTA- 2019-0003, allowing wall signs in the aesthetic corridors. Ms. Barlow explained that the findings of fact formalize the process and decisions the Commission has made. Ms. Barlow advised this item has been before the Commission on two prior occasions. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and conducted deliberations on October 24, 2019 voting four to zero forwarding a recommendation of approval to City Council. Commissioner Walton moved to approve Findings of Fact CTA-2019-0003 as presented. There was no discussion. The vote on the motion was seven in favor, zero opposed, and the motion passed. ii. Public Hearing: CTA-2019-0004, a proposed amendment to Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 22.70.020 Fencing, fence heights in residential zones. Chair Johnson opened the public hearing at 6.• 12 p.m. Ms. Nickerson provided a brief background and presentation related to fence height regulations in the residential zones. Ms. Nickerson explained this item has been before the Commission on multiple occasions for discussion and review. A Study Session was held on November 14, 2019 and tonight the Public Hearing. Ms. Nickerson addressed the suggested language related to an increase fence height for multifamily use through an administrative exception discussed during the last meeting. She continued, SVMC 22.70.020 section (c) now states that an administrative exception may be granted for a fence of more than six feet in height, but no more than eight feet in height, with a permitted non-residential use in a residential zoning district. There was some discussion regarding residential and non-residential fence heights related to electric fence components. It was conclude those details would be addressed through an administrative exception as listed in code. Chair Johnson closed the public hearing at 6:16 p.m. Commissioner Walton moved to approve CTA-2019-0004 as presented. There was no discussion. The vote on the motion was seven in favor, zero opposed, and the motion passed. Study Session: STV-2019-0005, a proposed street vacation of portions of 12th and 13th Avenues, the alley between 12th and 13th Avenues and Chronicle Road. Ms. Barlow provided a presentation outlining the privately initiated street vacation for portions of 12th and 13th Avenues and the alleyway in-between as well as a portion of Chronicle Road. Ms. Barlow explained this request is in the southwest portion of the City near the intersection of 12th Avenue and Carnahan Road. The area to be vacated is surrounded by residential development to the south and vacant or developing properties to the northeast and northwest. Ms. Barlow noted the proposed area does cross over a waterbody that was created by previous mining activities. Ms. Barlow provided procedural overview advising the Planning Commission is currently conducting the study session. The public hearing will be held on January 9, 2020 and the formalization of the Commission's decision will be held on January 23, 2020 with the Findings of Fact. Ms. Barlow advised that in processing a street vacation staff reviews connectivity, traffic volume, future developments and access. Potential conditions to consider would be utility and easement access, removal of the portion of the street or streets vacated and design or construction improvements. 12-12-2019 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 4 Ms. Barlow explained the applicant feels the site is unconstructible and this vacation would allow for full development. The alleys are no longer required for public use or access and the on -site wetlands interfere with the construction of 13th Avenue. Ms. Barlow provided an aerial view of the critical areas relative to the site. The unimproved portions of 12th and 13th Avenues and Chronical Road are within the City's floodplain area and a wetland. Ms. Barlow explained the request is to vacate 500 feet of Chronical Street at a full width right-of-way of 60 feet wide. 385 feet of 13th Avenue also at a full width ROW. Lastly, 12 feet of alleyway between 12th and 13th Avenues and 385 feet of 12th Avenue at a half width ROW of 30 feet. Ms. Barlow detailed potential issues explaining that adjacent properties need access for future development, as the proposed area is zones R-3. If Chronicle Road were to be vacated the two adjacent parcels would be land locked. The other potential issues would be the storm water system. The stormwater system is not within an easement, it would need to either be moved or have an easement. The City has been working with the property owner to resolve the potential issues with several options. Commissioner Kelley confirmed the applicant owns both sides of the roads to be vacated. The applicant also has a purchase sale agreement on the property immediately to the north. Commissioner Johnson asked what direction the storm drain flows. There was a lengthy discussion related to the direction of flow and the problems the system currently has and has had. The current storm water system is a private system that the City contributes to. City Attorney Cary Driskel explained that the system does run south to north and makes its' way onto the property owned by the Conservation District. The City's storm water division have been speaking with the Conservation District related to obtaining an easement. In addition, not only city or public waters are contributing to this storm water. There are a number of sources contributing including seepage from under the ground. There was also some discussion related to the site not have an exclusive water service district. Commissioner Johnson asked about compensation and it was determined that once council makes a decision and should compensation be required, it would be determined by resolution. Commissioner Walton asked Ms. Barlow to provide what the maximum allowed dwelling units are currently and what would be allowed if the streets were vacated. Ms. Barlow advised she will have the details requested, but added that there should not be a gain as there will still have to be access provided. The property that would be most affected is currently zoned R-3, which is six dwelling units per acre. Commissioner Johnson asked if the floodplain and the wetland would be included in the available property within the calculations. Ms. Barlow stated that in theory the wetland could not be developed however, the floodplain could be developed as long as it met the standards. iv. Study Session: Updating Planning Commission Rules of Procedure. Ms. Nickerson introduced the subject of the Planning Commission Rules of Procedure (ROP) and provided background into the discussions from the six previous visits related to this topic. The Commissioners were provided a clean and a redline version of the ROP to date. Commissioner Kelley spoke to the voting section; he explained it used to read: "four affirmative votes must be cast for comprehensive plans or the election of officers". The language related to the election of officers was redlined, he asked when and why that was changed. Administrative Assistant Deanna Horton explained that after the last meeting she added Section (c) Election of officers; that states: "Each Chair and Vice Chair must receive 12-12-20 19 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 4 four affirmative votes in order to be elected". She continued to explain the Comprehensive Plan votes Section (b) and Election of Officer votes Section (c) have been separated. There was a lengthy discussion related to what a majority vote constitutes, four votes or the majority of the Commissioners appointed? Commissioner Johnson advised there was a discrepancy in the language and multiple sections. Mr. Driskel advised the language should be consistent in all sections related to voting. The language should read: "by majority vote of the membership of the Commission". Commissioner Johnson addressed the language related to votes being taken by paper ballot changing from "shall be taken" to "may be taken". It was determined the language states "may be taken" to allow for flexibility by the Commission and to alleviate public records request concerns by requiring a paper ballot. Lastly, after some discussion, it was concluded the Commission would impose a three -minute time limit for public testimony or otherwise determined by Chair should more time be necessary. X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Commissioner Rasmussen stated she has enjoyed her last three years on the board and this will be her last meeting. She thanked those on the board and the staff for all of their efforts. Commissioner McKinley thanked Commissioner Rasmussen for - her service on the board. He asked everyone to enjoy the holidays. Commissioner Kaschmitter thanked everyone for their time and wished everyone a Merry Christmas. Commissioner Friend also thanked the Commissioners and staff for all of their hard work. Commissioner Kelley thanked Commissioner Rasmussen for her time with the Commission. Commissioner Walton also thanked Commissioner Rasmussen for her service and advised it has been a pleasure serving for the last three years. Commissioner Johnson also thanked Commissioner Rasmussen for her time and service. He was thankful for his time as Chair; he is looking forward to the future, and read aloud a quote form Margaret Mead, XL ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Rasmussen moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:17 p.m. The vote on the motion was seven in favor, zero opposed, and the motion passed.

PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION: The proposed amendment is a City -initiated text amendment to the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) amending SVMC 22.110.080 Aesthetic Corridors to allow wall signs. Existing corridors may be reviewed for applicability. APPROVAL CRITERIA: Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan, SVMC 17.80.150, 19.30.040. SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS: Staff concludes that the proposed amendments to SVMC 22.110.080 are consistent with minimum criteria for review and approval, and consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. STAFF CONTACT: Lori Barlow, AICP, Senior Planner. REVIEWED BY: Jenny Nickerson, Building Official. ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit 1: Proposed Amendment APPLICATION PROCESSING: Chapter 17.80 SVMC, Permit Processing Procedures. The following table summarizes the procedural steps for the proposal. Process Date Department of Commerce 60-day Notice of Intent to Adopt Amendment October 10, 2019 SETA DNS Issued Oetobcr 4, 2019 Published Notice of Public Hearing: October 4 and 11, 2019 BACKGROUND: The Aesthetic Corridors and regulations were developed in the 1990's by Spokane County Planning staff at the direction of the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). At that time, the BOCC was concerned by the proliferation of billboards and signage and wanted to protect the main routes into and out of town. In order to limit the visual impacts of excessive signage the BOCC established more restrictive sign regulations which generally allowed monument signs and wall signs. In 2003, the City adopted Spokane County's regulations as the City's interim regulations by Ordinance No. 53. The interim code allowed freestanding signs up to a height of 8 feet, with an area ranging from 32 - 90 square feet within the office and commercial zones along the designated Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-2019-0003 aesthetic corridor. In 2007 the City adopted the Uniform Development Code by Ordinance 07.015 which generally replicated the signage requirements along the aesthetic corridor, but modified the areas categorized as an aesthetic corridor, and added a specific reference in the code that only monument signs shall be allowed. Although it appears that upon incorporation wall signs were allowed in the aesthetic corridors, the provisions adopted in 2007 prohibited, and continue to prohibit, wall signs. Signage regulations have been modified since that time, but, the regulations affecting the aesthetic corridors have remained the same. The seven street segments designated as Aesthetic Corridors have not been reviewed since 2007, and it may be appropriate to review the designated corridors for applicability. The Aesthetic Corridors include: 1, State Route 27 (16th Avenue south to City limits); 2. State Route 27 (Mansfield Avenue to Trent Avenue); 3. Appleway Boulevard (south side only from Park Road to Dishman Mica Road); 4. Appleway Avenue (Barker Road to Hodges Road); 5. Dishman Mica Road (8th Avenue south to City limits); 6. 32nd Avenue within the City limits; and 7. Mirabeau Parkway (Pines Road to Indiana Avenue). ANALYSIS: Currently only monument signs are allowed on properties adjacent to the Aesthetic Corridors (see Table 1 below). Monument Signs are allowed subject to the dimensional requirements applicable to the zoning district or land use as noted in SVMC 22.110.040.

Allow wall signs on properties adjacent to the Aesthetic Corridors. The proposed amendment will allow wall signs consistent with the Sign regulations in SVMC 22.110.040 Table 22.110-1 - Location, Height and Copy Area Requirements (See Table 2).

Maintains attractive routes into the city while increasing business visibility without adding visual clutter. Business along the corridor have expressed a need for more visibility. Wall signage is mounted to the wall of the building, and it allows for storefront business identification. Monument signs are generally placed near the street and provide the method for street side business identification when, or if, the building is recessed from the street. Even when utilized together, the addition of wall signs will not add visual clutter to motorists since it is not in the eye of travel. 3. Supports business attraction and retention by increasing business visibility. Wall signage allows an additional signage option to increase visibility. The current restriction may disadvantage the properties located within the Aesthetic Corridor areas. New business looking for locations may find the corridor an attractive location because of the aesthetic control, but may be concerned about the competitive disadvantage when compared to other locations that allow wall signs. Allowing the wall signs could make Aesthetic Corridor properties more competitive with other commercial properties outside of the Aesthetic Corridor area. A. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE TEXT AMENDMENT 1. Compliance with Title 17 (General Provisions) of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code a. Findings: SVMC 17.80.150(F) Municipal Code Text Amendment Approval Criteria The City may approve a Municipal Code Text amendment if it finds that: Page 3 of 5 Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-20 19-0003 i.

Page 5 of 5 CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: February 18, 2020 Department Director Approval: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ® new business ❑ public hearing ❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second reading - proposed Ordinance 20-002 refunding of sales and use tax funds for affordable and supportive housing purposes. GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 82.14.540 (formerly referred to as SHB 1406), Spokane Valley Resolution 19-013. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: June 9, 2019, discussion with Council regarding SHB 1406 included in a broader discussion relating to homelessness; August 13, 2019, administrative report; September 3, 2019 adoption of Resolution 19-013 representing declaration of intent to adopt an enabling ordinance to authorize the maximum capacity of the sales and use tax authorized by SHB 1406 by July 28, 2020, for affordable and supportive housing purposes; administrative report January 21, 2020; ordinance first reading February 4, 2020. BACKGROUND: In 2019, the Legislature approved SHB 1406 (later codified as RCW 82.14.540), authorizing local jurisdictions to receive a rebate of a portion of state sales and use tax collected within that local jurisdiction, in the amount of .0073%, which shall be used for qualifying expenses relating to affordable and supportive housing pursuant to specified sections of state law. In order to qualify for these funds, a local jurisdiction must adopt a resolution of intent no later than January 28, 2020, followed by adoption of an enabling ordinance authorizing the rebated sales and use tax by July 28, 2020. Any funds generated through approval of an enabling ordinance would be rebated from state sales and use tax that the State currently receives. As a result, the State would receive less sales tax revenue, the City would receive more, and most importantly, in collecting this .0073%, there would not be any increase in the sales tax paid by any consumer on any transaction made in the City. The .0073% of rebated sales tax would be tied to 2019 sales and use tax revenue amounts generated in Spokane Valley, estimated to be $178,000 annually. Local jurisdictions are permitted to help fund qualifying projects within their borders, or may partner with other regional partners to pool resources to pay for larger regional facilities. The funds can be used each year, or may be used to acquire bonds for a capital project, such as constructing a facility. If the Council were to approve the enabling ordinance, it would take roughly between 60 and 90 days after notification to the Department of Revenue, to get the rebated tax funds rerouted to the City, after which it could be used or held for later use by the City. The funds could not be used to fund the construction or operation of a homeless shelter, but instead would need to be used for longer -term low income affordable and supportive housing. Cities with populations under 100,000 may use the funds for low income housing vouchers. Spokane Valley currently has a population under 100,000, but will exceed that threshold in the next year or two. Assuming Council adopts an enabling ordinance prior to July 28, 2020 to access the first .0073%, it is unclear whether the City would be able to continue to use the rebated tax funds for low income housing vouchers if it wanted to after the City exceeds 100,000 residents. There is currently a draft bill in the Legislature to clarify this issue, and the proposed amendment would identify that this determination would be made at the time the enabling ordinance passes and would apply throughout the 20 years it is applicable. Additionally, jurisdictions may qualify to be rebated a second .0073% of state sales and use tax for qualifying expenses if the jurisdiction also passes a voter -approved levy lid lift (referred to as a qualifying local tax) pursuant to one of four options. Adoption of a qualifying local tax in order to be eligible for the second .0073% must also be done by July 28, 2020. Under current statutory language, a decision on whether to seek the second .0073% by pursuing a voter -approved qualifying local tax would need to be held by the last special election prior to the statutory deadline in RCW 82.14.540, which for special elections this year is April 23, 2020. Pursuant to RCW 29A.04.330, a resolution calling for a special election of this nature would have to be delivered to the County Clerk at least 60 days before a scheduled special election date. Therefore, under the current law, Council would need to determine whether to seek the second .0073% and pass a resolution calling for the special election by February 18, 2020. The draft bill currently in discussion would move the applicable end date to December 1, 2020 for adoption of a local qualifying tax, subject to adoption by the Legislature, and signature of the Governor. It is also important to note that Spokane County has already approved a local qualifying tax for purposes of collecting the second .0073%. As such, if the City does nothing further, Spokane County will collect the second .0073% for use on a regional basis for qualifying affordable and supportive housing purposes. The Council took the first step in this process through adoption of Resolution 19-013 on September 3, 2019, which was a formal statement of intent. In order to actually collect these funds, Council will need to adopt an enabling ordinance such as is being proposed here. Resolution 19-013 directed staff to prepare this enabling ordinance for Council consideration no later than February 4, 2020. OPTIONS: (1) Approve Ordinance 20-002; or (2) take other action as appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move we approve Ordinance 20-002 relating to refunding sales and use tax from the Washington State Department of Revenue to the City for qualifying affordable and supportive housing purposes. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Increase of funds to the City in the amount of approximately $178,000 annually for the first .0073% to use for qualifying low income housing purposes if an enabling ordinance is adopted prior to July 28, 2020. STAFF CONTACT: Cary Driskell, City Attorney. ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Ordinance 20-002. DRAFT CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON ORDINANCE NO. 20-002 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON, ADOPTING CHAPTER 3.06 OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE AUTHORIZING A SALES AND USE TAX CREDIT FOR AFFORDABLE AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PURSUANT TO RCW 82.14.540, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING THERETO. WHEREAS, the City of Spokane Valley is a non -charter code city pursuant to Title 35A RCW, and is a municipal corporation pursuant to the laws of the state of Washington; and WHEREAS, in the 2019 Regular Session, the Washington State Legislature approved Substitute House Bill 1406 (Chapter 338, Laws of 2019), which was later codified as RCW 82.14.540; and WHEREAS, RCW 82.14.540 authorizes the governing body of a city to impose a local sales and use tax for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of affordable housing or facilities providing supportive housing. The first .0073 percent available is credited back to the City by the State of Washington from existing state sales and use tax receipts originating from sales within the City; and WHEREAS, because this sales and use tax will be credited against sales and use taxes collected within the City of Spokane Valley by the State of Washington, it will not result in higher sales and use taxes within the City if limited to .0073 percent. Instead, it will represent an additional source of funding to address affordable and supportive housing needs within the City as contemplated by the Legislature in adopting RCW 82.14.540; and WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 82.14.540(7), revenue received from imposition of the sales and use tax shall be used to assist persons whose income is at or below 60 percent of Spokane County's median income; and WHEREAS, the City has determined that there is a need for additional affordable housing in the City, and that imposing the sales and use tax to address this need will benefit its citizens; and WHEREAS, in order for a city to impose the sales and use tax permitted by RCW 82.14.540, that city must pass a resolution of intent to authorize the maximum capacity of the tax, and then adopt an enabling ordinance no later than July 28, 2020 to authorize imposition of the maximum capacity of the tax; and WHEREAS, on September 6, 2019, the Spokane Valley City Council approved Resolution 19-013 declaring the City's intent to adopt legislation to authorize a sales and use tax for use for affordable and supportive housing pursuant to RCW 82.14.540; and WHEREAS, RCW 82.14.540 allows cities and counties to enter into interlocal agreements with other cities, counties, and public housing authorities to pool the sales and use tax received by the agreeing entities to be able to consider larger qualifying projects. There have been discussions among the City, the City of Spokane, Spokane County, and Spokane Housing Authority regarding the potential for such an agreement, although one has not been reached to date; and WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 82.14.540, participating cities may also adopt a specified qualifying local tax for the purpose of receiving a second state sales and use tax credit of .0073 percent. Any qualifying Ordinance 20-002 - Sales and Use Tax for Affordable Housing Page 1 of 3 DRAFT local tax for an additional .0073 percent sales and use tax credit from the Washington State Department of Revenue would require adoption of a separate ordinance from this Ordinance; and WHEREAS, this Ordinance constitutes the necessary legislative action to authorize a sales and use tax credit of state tax funds from the Washington State Department of Revenue for use by the City for qualifying expenses related to acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of affordable housing or facilities providing supportive housing. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley ordains as follows: Section 1. Findings. The City Council hereby finds that the recitals set forth above are hereby adopted as findings for this Ordinance and incorporated herein as such. Section 2. Adoption. Chapter 3.06 SVMC relating to imposition of a sales and use tax for affordable and supportive housing expenses as authorized by RCW 82.14.540 is hereby adopted as set forth below: 3.06 SALES AND USE TAX FOR AFFORDABLE AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING 3.06.010 — Imposition of Sales and Use Tax for Affordable and Supportive Housing. (A) Tax imposed. There is imposed a sales and use tax pursuant to RCW 82.14.540 upon every taxable event, as defined in chapter 82.14 RCW, occurring within the City of Spokane Valley. The tax shall be imposed upon and collected from those persons from whom the Washington State sales or use tax is collected pursuant to chapters 82.08 and 82.12 RCW as adopted or amended. (B) Tax Rate. The rate of the sales and use tax imposed by SVMC 3.06.010 shall be .0073 percent of the selling price or value of the article used, and shall expire 20 years from the date on which it is first imposed, or at such time as allowed by law. In the event the City adopts a qualifying local tax pursuant to RCW 82.14.540(1)(e) as adopted or amended, then the sales and use tax imposed by SVMC 3.06.010(B) may be increased by an additional .0073 percent, or as otherwise authorized by RCW 82.14.540 as adopted or amended. (C) Deduction from State Tax Receipts. The sales and use tax imposed pursuant to SVMC 3.06.010 shall be deducted from the amount of tax otherwise required to be collected or paid to the Washington State Department of Revenue pursuant to chapters 82.08 or 82.12 RCW as adopted or amended. The Department of Revenue shall perform the collection of such taxes on behalf of the City and remit any qualifying funds to the City at no cost to the City. The maximum amount to be received by the City from this sales and use tax credit in each year shall be equal to the taxable retail sales within the City limits in state fiscal year 2019 multiplied by the tax rate or such other amount as allowed by law. The City Manager is authorized to enter into or modify any agreement with the Department of Revenue for the administration of this tax. 3.06.020 — Use of Tax Receipts. Revenue received by the City from the sales and use tax authorized by chapter 3.06 SVMC shall be used for the purposes set forth in RCW 82.14.540 as adopted or amended, which may include use of authorized funds in conjunction with one or more regional governmental entities through an interlocal agreement. Any such use of pooled funds pursuant to interlocal agreement shall also comply with all requirements of RCW 82.14.540 as adopted or amended. Ordinance 20-002 - Sales and Use Tax for Affordable Housing Page 2 of 3 DRAFT Section 3. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance shall be held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of any other section, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance. Section 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect five days after publication of this Ordinance or summary thereof in the official newspaper of the City of Spokane Valley as provided by law.

BACKGROUND: In November, 2019, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) issued a Call for Projects focusing on engineering countermeasures and strategies that help reduce fatal and serious injury crashes through the City Safety Program (CSP). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds the CSP and administers the program to the states under the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The CSP will award $25 million statewide as part of the 2020 Call for Projects. The minimum match is 10% across all three phases of the project: preliminary engineering (PE), right-of-way (RW) and construction (CN). If a project obligates the CN phase by April 30, 2023, then the 10% match is waived for the CN phase. Applications are due March 6, 2020. Similar to 2018, the 2020 call for projects requires each applicant to provide a Local Road Safety Plan (Plan) that addresses fatal and serious injury crashes and systemic safety needs in the City. A local road safety plan is a data -driven analysis and prioritization of an agency's roadways for traffic safety. Using specific information about the factors present at specific crash locations, the City must identify other locations where those factors are present. The City then must identify and prioritize improvements/countermeasures/projects to address the highest priority locations. This prioritized list of projects must be presented in the local road safety plan, which must be submitted with the application. The local road safety plan must document how and why the priorities were selected. Eligible funding requests must include projects that have been identified in the City's Plan. The following table identifies potential projects for the CSP application that are included in the Plan. WSDOT staff recommends that applicants submit an exhaustive list of projects to be submitted for funding.

(Add curb, gutter, & sidewalk) $ 700,000 $ 70,000 Total $ 4,643,000 $ 464,300 In 2018, the CSP awarded 44 projects to 25 different cities, totaling $25,244,800. In 2020, the available funding is the same as 2018 but it is expected that the number of applications will increase, thus reducing the available funds to each City. 2018 CSP Award Summary All Agencies All Projects SV Projects Count 25 44 3 Avg $ 1,009,792 $ 573,745 $ 162,267 Min. $ 224,500 $ 27,000 $ 77,300 Median $ 559,600 $ 436,950 $ 178,500 Max. $ 4,634,200 $ 2,613,100 $ 231,000 Total $ 25,244,800 $ 25,244,800 $ 486,800 OPTIONS: 1) Proceed with the staff recommendation and motion as written, 2) take other appropriate action. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager or designee to apply for the City Safety Program grant for the six projects identified above. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Assuming no awarded projects obligate CN funds before April 30, 2023, the City would be responsible for a 10% match on all project phases, as identified in the Prioritized Project List. If projects obligate prior to April 30, 2023, the 10% match on the CN phase of the project is waived for the City.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 3.34 SVMC — Acceptance of donations and gifts; chapter 3.46 SVMC — Non -architectural and engineering services. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Over the years, the Spokane Valley Arts Council has donated a number of sculptures to the City for public display. On December 18, 2018, six previously donated sculptures were accepted by the City. On March 12, 2019, Council approved the Agreement with the Spokane Valley Arts Council BACKGROUND: The Spokane Valley Arts Council (SVAC) is a not -for -profit 501(c)(3) organization formed in 2004 for the stated purpose of working "with local businesses, civic leaders and artists to cooperatively conceive, develop and implement art -related programs and cultural activities." The SVAC has been instrumental in identifying projects to be constructed and located on property owned by the City, for the cultural benefit of our citizens. On March 12, 2019, Council approved an agreement with the SVAC that included various aspects of our long-term relationship. Section 4.a. of the agreement requires that the SVAC provide Council with a reasonable advance opportunity to provide input on which sculptures are chosen for donation to the City, recognizing that the ultimate decision to accept or reject any proposed gift of artwork rests solely with the City Council. Section 4.b. of the agreement further specifies that the SVAC provide the City with information at least one year prior to the time a sculpture intended for donation to the City is anticipated to be permanently placed, so the City has an opportunity to determine where the piece will be installed and also to budget for the costs related to installing the piece. Staff will present three sculptures that the Spokane Valley Arts Council wishes to donate to the City. The three sculptures are Huckleberry Daze by Jerry McKellar; Rock Star by Bob Wilfong; and Indomitable Spirit by Jerry McKellar. If accepted, the sculptures will be put into storage until such time as a permanent location is determined. Staff will be back March 10 to discuss potential locations for these sculptures with the City Council. OPTIONS: (1) Accept donated sculptures as discussed; or (2) take other action as appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to accept, on behalf of the City, three sculptures donated by SVAC: Huckleberry Daze by Jerry McKellar; Rock Star by Bob Wilfong; and Indomitable Spirit by Jerry McKellar. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The impact for accepting these sculptures and allowing them to be placed on City property would be the installation and ongoing maintenance costs. The total is unknown as each sculpture is unique and located at a different location. STAFF CONTACT: Michael D.

I have used a clean, classical body foul,. and minimal amount of ornamentation inspired by my study of the great European masters. I've tried to emphasize the power, beauty, and movement of the human body, and also design different surface textures for added compositional interest and varied effects on the stone patina. The sculpture has three figures. One figure with coarse anatomic detail is encased in stone, the second figure is bound and kneeling, and the third figure, with more detailed anatomy has finally broken free.

McKellar donated his creative abilities for the original bear, which was then cast in fiberglass, decorated, and painted by local artists. The bears were displayed throughout the city of Spokane during the summer and fall of 2005 before being auctioned to raise funds for the Ronald McDonald House. This life-size, more realistic, but non -threatening grizzly bear, was then created as a limited edition bronze sculpture by the artist. �, ,,�r.a hanars upon the stnnci/tha can my rieart, ock 1-07-" RO C2( S I pi -aced my hands upon the strings that then became my head. � wrapped -my arms around the bo that Became my sour.

Previously I was honored to serve on the commission for 5 % years and was appointed by three different mayors. My terms of service were in the beginning years of Spokane Valley formulating the city's original comprehensive plan and the first UDC code. I have recently retired from the transportation industry and I am currently working for the US Census Bureau for the duration of the current census. The most contentious decisions the commission deals with involves land use designations and the ramifications of those decisions. Having worked with these issues it is imperative the results of planning commission decisions are well researched and transparent to the public. I would be honored to serve on this commission again especially since I have worked with some members of the council in the past and greatly respect their abilities and their desire to move this city forward.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Not applicable. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Multiple meetings relating to the design and approval of the City Hall contract, including the bid award to Meridian Construction on May 3, 2016. The building was substantially completed in early September, 2017, and the City received a certificate of occupancy on September 5, 2017. March 19, 2019 update on the status of the east Council Chamber wall. September 24, 2019 discussion on the micro -pile installation, February 4, 2020 update on the temporary wall construction and inspection plan. BACKGROUND: Since the City moved into City Hall in early September, 2017, staff noted various punch list items to be completed or fixed by the construction contractor, Meridian, which they did over several months. In addition to these punch list items, staff noted what appeared to be settling of the building along the curved east wall of the Council Chambers. After advising Meridian of the issue in 2018, staff continued to monitor the issue through the assistance of several experts to analyze the extent of the issue, including potential options for repair. On February 21, 2019, the City filed a claim against Meridian Construction pursuant to the contract to work toward resolution. Staff is providing this report to update the Council and public on the status of the repairs. As stated in the previous report, the City contracted with a structural engineer who has determined that the Chambers are safe to occupy while this issue is addressed. Ten micro -piles were installed to support the existing curved wall foundation in the fall of 2019. Staff has been monitoring the elevation of the wall since completion of this phase of the remediation. A temporary wall has been installed to separate the business area of the chambers from the construction area. Staff will introduce Robb Dibble of Dibble Engineers Incorporated as the City's contracted structural engineer for the duration of the repair process. He will update Council on current activities and will discuss next steps for the process. OPTIONS: Not applicable. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Not applicable, for information purposes only.

The study identified the intersection of Sullivan and Wellesley as functioning poorly. The intersection is currently operating with a Level of Service of F, causing delays to motorists. In 2015, the City submitted a grant application and was awarded a Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality (CMAQ) grant to upgrade the intersection based on current traffic volumes and demands. Spokane Valley's intersection improvements include preliminary engineering, right-of-way acquisition, and construction to build either a single lane roundabout or a signalized intersection (interim improvements). Construction for the project is currently programed for 2021 with the Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC). Spokane County has been working on the Bigelow Gulch Corridor (Bigelow) Project for several years. Phase 6 of the Bigelow Project will connect Bigelow Gulch to the Sullivan and Wellesley intersection, significantly increasing the traffic volumes at the intersection, requiring capacity increases beyond the interim improvements identified in the 2015 study. The Bigelow Project is currently scheduled to begin construction in 2021. Spokane County contributed $99,625 to the Sullivan -Wellesley Intersection Project with the intent to purchase enough right-of-way to accommodate the intersection improvements that will be triggered with the Bigelow Project. The City has been closely coordinating with Spokane County. The current plan is construct the full buildout intersection improvements at the same time as the Bigelow Project in 2021, to minimize disruption to the public. There is potential for the County to become the lead agency to construct the intersection improvements in conjunction with their Bigelow Gulch Corridor Project. Staff plans on having further discussions with Spokane County to explore this option. In 2018, the City evaluated a roundabout and signalized intersection at this location. The options were compared using the following criteria: vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle safety, intersection performance, dependability, ease of obtaining right-of-way, future transportation needs, public acceptance, and cost. The evaluation concluded that the signal has the following benefits: lower right-of-way impacts, lower project cost, higher public acceptance near the schools, similar level of service as a roundabout at this location, and less impacts during construction. On July 3, 2018, council directed staff to advance the design of the intersection project with a signal. The costs to improve the intersection with a signal are shown below: PE $ 175,000 ROW $ 135,150 Federal CMAQ Grant $ 1,462,323 Total Project Cost $ 1,772,473 The total project budget for the City of Spokane Valley's intersection improvement project is: City Match (303) $ 184,950 Spokane County (ROW Contribution) $ 99,625 Federal CMAQ Grant $ 1,085,425 Total Secured Funding $ 1,370,000 Currently, the engineering plans are 90 percent designed and ROW negotiations are ongoing. The current plan is to advertise the project in the fall of 2020 or early spring of 2021, for construction in the summer of 2021 in conjunction with the County's Bigelow Gulch project. Summer construction is desirable to minimize impacts to the school. At the February 4, 2020 Council meeting, Council asked staff to evaluate the impact of improving the intersection with a roundabout rather than a signal. The City's intersection project is currently on target to begin construction in 2021, in conjunction with the County's Bigelow Gulch project. Redesigning the intersection project with a roundabout will likely push construction to 2022. The following milestones will be required before the project can go to construction: • Engineering phase must be re -started: • Negotiate fee and new scope with design consultant and execute new contract after bringing to Council (4 weeks) by mid -March 2020. • Spokane County's Bigelow Gulch NEPA documentation currently covers the City's project. The City may have to prepare standalone NEPA environmental documentation for the roundabout project. At the very least, Spokane County's NEPA documentation will need to be amended to cover the new project limits and scope. This is expected to take at least three months. • The design engineering phase needs to be advanced to 60 percent before new ROW plans can be updated, which could be complete by mid -September 2020. • Negotiate fee and new scope with ROW consultant (2 weeks). • The ROW Consultant needs to develop a new project funding estimate. School property will need to be appraised (3 months) by December 2020. • ROW acquisition and negotiation phase will need to be re -started. • Begin negotiations with property owners and East Valley School District (3 to 6 month process). • Advance plans to 90 percent (3 to 6 months depending on ROW negotiations) by June 2021. • Develop final Plans, Specifications & Estimate by July 2021. • Obtain construction fund obligations by August 2021. • Advertise project and bid award by mid -September 2021. • Execute contract by mid October 2021. • Summer 2022 construction to minimize impact to school. Construction funds are programmed in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for 2021. Funds were moved from 2020 to 2021 to match Spokane County's Bigelow project schedule. To lengthen the project schedule, the City may have to request approval from the SRTC Policy Board per Policy 4.5 of the SRTC TIP Guidebook if construction funds cannot be obligated in 2021: If a project sponsor is unable to meet a targeted obligation date after the one-time grace period, the project sponsor may request an extension from the SRTC Policy Board. The Board may grant the extension or may act to remove the project from the TIP. If the agency is permitted an extension, it must submit a revised schedule to SRTC within 30 calendar days of the Board action. If the Board acts to remove the project from the TIP, any regional federal funds awarded to the project shall be returned to SRTC for reallocation. If the project is eligible to receive regionally selected federal funds, it may be placed on the contingency list of projects for that fund source at the discretion of the Board. Staff met with Kelly Shea, the Superintendent of the East Valley School District to discuss the potential to improve the intersection with a roundabout. While Mr. Shea stated that he will support the City in any decision, he believes that a roundabout is not the right solution for this intersection, and he highly recommended doing additional public outreach if it was decided to construct a roundabout. The intersection is located between the middle and the high school. He is concerned about the distance between the crosswalks with the roundabout which will encourage young pedestrians to cross at undesignated locations. He is also concerned about the inexperienced drivers interacting with pedestrians who may be not utilizing designated crossing locations. The City has spent approximately $195,000 for the engineering and right-of-way efforts to date. The table below compares the costs of improving the intersection with a signal and a roundabout. The roundabout costs includes previously incurred costs for engineering and right- of-way to date.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None. BACKGROUND: Staff have identified the South Barker Road Corridor as an area experiencing a significant amount of new development. This has and will lead to continued degradation of levels of service for traffic movement on Barker Road and on connecting streets throughout the corridor. As a means of identifying the impacts and necessary mitigation, staff have worked with Fehr & Peers to complete a comprehensive traffic study for the South Barker Corridor. Through this study, the City has identified anticipated costs per trip for new development. Staff will present this study and the results. Further, as part of the study, staff have identified challenges with collecting the fee. Currently, the two primary mechanisms for the City to impose mitigation requirements on new development are through concurrency and SEPA. However, there are challenges with each, as both are limited to larger projects and impacts. Thus, while all new development, including small short plats, will contribute to the impacts within the corridor, the City does not currently have the tools to require such development to address its impacts. Thus, staff will also provide information on "impact fees" allowed pursuant to RCW 82.02.050-82.02.110. These are fees specifically allowed to address impacts from new development and they may be imposed on all development within a designated area, such as the South Barker Corridor. Generally, they are collected when a building permit application is submitted, though there are some allowed deferrals for smaller developments. Further, impact fees provide a known fee so developers may plan for mitigation costs with certainty. At this time, staff are providing information and seeking City Council direction on whether to consider impact fees further, such as through additional information or consideration of an impact fee ordinance. OPTIONS: Discussion. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Consensus for staff to provide additional information on adoption of South Barker Corridor impact fees. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Unknown at this time. May provide significant additional revenue for street projects within the South Barker Corridor if impact fees are ultimately adopted.

The purpose of the South Barker Corridor Study is to analyze traffic demands through year 2040 and identify potential traffic improvement projects on the segment of Barker Road between Mission Avenue and the South City Limits in Spokane Valley, Washington. The study includes planning -level cost estimates of improvements and an estimate of the proportion of traffic along segments of the corridor from adjacent jurisdictions (Liberty Lake and Spokane County) to assist in developing potential mitigation fee payments for the new development that is occurring in this part of the Spokane region. In addition, this study analyzed traffic operations at the Barker Road/I-90 interchange under the WSDOT interim concept (year 2020) and long-term concept (by year 2040) to verify that the proposed interchange improvements will operate adequately and serve the planned growth in Spokane Valley and the surrounding area. Based on the analysis, guidance is provided to WSDOT on the City of Spokane Valley's preferred interim and long- term improvements for the 1-90 interchange. Study Area The study area includes the Barker Road corridor between Mission Avenue and the South City Limits on the east side of Spokane Valley. The following 10 intersections along Barker Road were included in the study and mapped in Figure 1. 1. Barker Road/Mission Avenue 2. Barker Road/Boone Avenue 3.

Land Use Assumptions Traffic volumes at each of the study intersections were estimated using the current version of the SRTC 2015 and 2040 regional travel demand models, which was last updated in December 2017. Fehr & Peers received a copy of the SRTC travel demand model on January 9, 2018. Land use assumptions were reviewed by the project technical advisory committee (TAC) on May 17, 2018 which is comprised of staff representing Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Spokane County, WSDOT and SRTC. The TAC approved the land use assumptions on June 1, 2018 with three comments, including providing a comparison to what is assumed in the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan, incorporating impacts of new grade schools, and future land use forecasts in Liberty Lake - all of which are addressed below. Detailed land use data assumed in the model is provided in the following appendices: • • Appendix A — Includes a summary of the forecast 2015-2040 change in dwelling units and employees by transportation analysis zone (TAZ) near the Study Area. Appendix B — Includes a summary of the difference in assumed land use for the TAZs around Barker Road and 1-90 between the 2015 travel demand model used for the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Update (prepared in 2016) and the current 2015 SRTC travel demand model used for this study. New Grade Schools In addition to the regional travel demand model, traffic forecasts also accounted for several new grade schools planned in the vicinity by 2021. These schools are not specifically accounted for in the model and include: • • • A new elementary school at Long Road and Mission Avenue in Spokane Valley (opens 2018) A new middle school at Harvest Parkway and Mission Avenue in Liberty Lake (opens 2019) A new high school near Sprague Avenue and Henry Road in Spokane County (opens 2021) It was determined through analysis of existing and future school location and enrollment zone boundaries as well as traffic studies completed for each school that the impact to traffic volume on Barker Road in the study area from the new elementary and middle school would result in a net neutral change. It was also determined that the primary impact from the new high school will be a shift in some traffic currently making a southbound right at the Barker Road/Appleway intersection to instead make a southbound through at that intersection and a southbound left at the Barker Road/Sprague Avenue intersection. The inverse movements at the two intersections' were also adjusted. In the southbound direction, 80 vehicles in the AM peak hour and 17 vehicles in the PM peak hour were assumed to shift from making a southbound right at Barker Road/Appleway to making a southbound left at Barker Road/Sprague Avenue. In the northbound direction 37 vehicles in the AM peak hour and 19 vehicles in the PM peak hour were assumed to shift from making an eastbound left at Barker Road/Appleway to making a westbound right at Barker Road/Sprague Avenue and northbound through at Barker Road/Appleway. 1 For example, at Barker Road and Appleway Avenue southbound right turns were reduced and southbound through movements were increased by the same margin. Similarly, eastbound left turns were also reduced with northbound through movements increased by the same margin. City of Spokane Valley 5 I P a g e SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY v8 2/7/20 Updated Report Liberty Lake Land Use Forecasts During the analysis stage, the City of Liberty Lake was in the process of updating their land use forecasts for 2040 as part of their Land Quantity Analysis. Land uses are expected to be different from the forecasts assumed in the current SRTC travel demand model, particularly in the Riverside District. Given this information was not yet available at the time of analysis, the 2015 and 2040 land use assumed for Liberty Lake in the current SRTC travel demand model was used. Assumptions regarding the future roadway network in Liberty Lake are explained below. Roadway Network Assumptions The SRTC travel demand model was also updated to account for several recent changes to the assumed 2040 roadway network as well as minor changes to the 2015 model to ensure recent projects were reflected. These changes are based on feedback provided by the project's Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which included the City of Spokane Valley, WSDOT, Spokane County, and Liberty Lake. The changes to the network include the following. 2015 Model Changes: • • • • • Chapman Road was connected from 32nd Avenue to Barker Road just south of 12th Avenue to reflect existing conditions The centroid connector at transportation analysis zone (TAZ) 369 was moved to load to 4th Ave and 8th Ave instead of Barker Road, which better reflects where the driveways in the area load onto the roadway network The centroid connector at TAZ 392 was moved to load to 4th Ave instead of Barker Road The centroid connector at TAZ 327 was moved to load onto Indiana Avenue (instead of the intersection of Barker Road/ Indiana Avenue) A second centroid connector at TAZ 327 connecting to Mission Avenue was deleted to match the 2040 model 2040 Model Changes: • • • • • • • • Same changes made to the 2015 model Indiana Avenue was connected through from Barker Road to Harvard Road Instead of a new 1-90 interchange at Henry Road (as is currently in the 2040 model), Henry Road was connected from Appleway Avenue to Mission Avenue via an overpass of 1-90, but with no 1-90 interchange; the current partial interchange at Appleway Avenue was retained The preferred alternative for the Barker Road/BNSF Grade Separation project was assumed for the intersection of Barker Road/Trent Avenue The south leg of the Flora Road/Trent Avenue intersection across the BNSF railroad track is assumed to close (consistent with the preferred alternative for the Barker Road/BNSF Grade Separation project) A new link was added between Flora Road and Barker Road north of Euclid Avenue and south of Trent Avenue (to reflect the Garland Avenue connection assumed in the Northeast Industrial Area PAO) The centroid connector from TAZ 600 is assumed to be more heavily weighted toward Barker Road (reflecting the development potential in the Northeast Industrial Area assumed as part of the Northeast Industrial Area PAO) Barker Road was assumed to be 5 lanes from Mission Avenue to 1-90 (to reflect planned mitigations in the SEIS to the Comprehensive Plan for the Northeast Industrial Area PAO) City of Spokane Valley 6'Page SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY v8 2/7/20 Updated Report It should be noted that the following planned improvements are already assumed in the current SRTC travel demand model: • • • The Barker Road/I-90 interchange would be reconfigured to a standard diamond interchange with two-lane roundabouts plus slip ramps for right -turn movements at both ramps (as reflected in I-90/Barker Rd Interchange Justification Report) Barker Road between 1-90 and Appleway Avenue would be widened to five lanes as identified in the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan and Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) A new northbound lane would be added on Harvard Road across 1-90 Traffic Forecast Methodology Near -Term Traffic Forecasts An annual growth rate of 3.0% along Barker Road was used for near -term traffic forecasts through year 2020 (based on historic growth) and an annual growth rate of both 2.0% and 3.0% were used for traffic growth on Barker Road between year 2020 and 2028 to capture an upper and lower range of potential growth. 2040 Traffic Forecasts Instead of using the traffic forecasts directly from the 2040 travel demand model, 2040 volumes were estimated using an industry standard approach known as the difference method. The difference in traffic volumes between the 2015 and 2040 models are added to observed counts at each of the study area intersections to arrive at a 2040 forecast traffic. This method reduces model error by relying as much as possible on observed data rather than model output data. Note: the difference in traffic volumes between the 2015 and 2040 model will be multiplied by 0.88 to account for growth in traffic that occurred between 2015 and 2018 (22 years/ 25 years = 0.88). Existing traffic data was collected during the AM and PM peak hour on Thursday, May 24th 2018 at all study intersections (see Figure 1) except Barker Road/Boone Avenue and Barker Road/8th Avenue. Existing traffic volumes at Barker Road/Boone Avenue are based on counts collected on Tuesday, February 14th, 2007 and existing volumes at Barker Road/8th Avenue are based on counts collected on Wednesday, February 14, 2018. Estimating AM Peak Volumes The regional travel demand model forecasts PM peak hour turn movements, but only forecasts 3-hour AM peak turn movements at each intersection. Therefore, the inverse of PM peak hour traffic growth multiplied by 80% was used to estimate AM peak hour traffic growth. This is consistent with research published in National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 3652 and in observed peak hour traffic count data collected in Spokane Valley. For example, 80% of growth in PM peak volumes for southbound right turn movements at each intersection were applied to eastbound left movements to get the AM peak traffic forecast. 2 Martin, W., N.

City of Spokane Valley 7 I P a g e SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY v8 2/7/20 Updated Report Level of Service Standards Spokane Valley LOS Standards The City of Spokane Valley uses level of service (LOS) to describe and evaluate traffic operations along major arterial corridors and intersections within the City. Levels range from LOS A to LOS F, which encompass a range of congestion types from uninterrupted traffic (LOS A) to highly -congested conditions (LOS F). The description and intersection delay thresholds of each LOS category are described in Figure 2. These are based on the Highway Capacity Manual, which is the methodology used by Spokane Valley. The LOS for signalized intersections and roundabouts is measured by the average delay per vehicle entering the intersection from all approaches, while the LOS for unsignalized intersections is measured by the average delay per vehicle on the approach with the highest average delay. Figure 2: Level of service description and delay thresholds at intersections Level of Service Description Signalized Intersection Delay (seconds) Unsignalized Intersection Delay (seconds) A Free -flowing conditions. 0-10 0-10 B Stable operating conditions. 10-20 10-15 C Stable operating conditions, but individual motorists are affected by the interaction with other motorists. 20-35 15-25 D High density of motorists, but stable flow. 35-55 25-35 E Near -capacity operations, with speeds reduced to a low but uniform speed. 55-80 35-50 F Over -capacity conditions with long delays. > 80 >50 Source: Highway Capacity Manual 2016, Transportation Research Board The LOS standards used by Spokane Valley are defined in the Comprehensive Plan as follows: • LOS D for major arterial corridors: o Argonne/Mullan between the town of Millwood and Appleway Boulevard o Pines Road between Trent Avenue and 8th Avenue o Evergreen Road between Indiana Avenue and 8th Avenue o Sullivan Road between Wellesley Avenue and 8th Avenue o Sprague Avenue/Appleway Boulevard between Fancher Road and Sullivan Road • LOS D for signalized intersections not on major arterial corridors • LOS E for unsignalized intersections (LOS F acceptable if peak hour traffic signal warrant is unmet) WSDOT LOS Standards WSDOT also uses LOS thresholds for State Highways. The LOS standard for State Highways in Urban Areas is LOS D. Within the Study Area this would apply to the Barker Road/I-90 interchange. This LOS standard applies to roadway segments and signalized and stop controlled intersections. City of Spokane Valley 8'Page SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY v8 2/7/20 Updated Report Per WSDOT's recommended guidance, the primary measure of effectiveness (MOE) for roundabout analysis is not LOS, but the overall intersection and approach volume to capacity (v/c) ratios. WSDOT recommends that v/c ratios not exceed 0.85-0.9 for any approach or the entire intersection, which typically corresponds to LOS D. Traffic Analysis Methodology In order to analyze traffic operations, including LOS, v/c ratios and/or impacts of queuing, the following traffic engineering software was used in accordance with WSDOT Traffic Analysis policies and protocol3: • Synchro - Synchro software (version 9.2) was be used to evaluate AM and PM peak hour LOS at most signalized and stop controlled intersections. LOS was measured using the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2010 methodology within Synchro. All settings were set to be consistent with WSDOT Synchro Protocol. The observed intersection peak hour factor averaged for all approaches was used for the existing conditions analysis and near -term traffic analysis. A PHF of 1.0 was used for the 2040 analysis. A saturation flow rate of 1,775 vehicles per lane per hour was assumed in order to be consistent with City of Spokane Valley practice along the Barker Road corridor. • Sidra - Sidra software (version 7.0) was used to analyze the AM and PM peak hour v/c ratios for intersections with a roundabout configuration. All settings were set to be consistent with WSDOT's Sidra Policy Settings (WSDOT, April 2018). • SimTraffic — SimTraffic software was used to analyze the AM and PM peak hour traffic operational performance for closely spaced intersections in order to capture the impacts to traffic delay of queuing. This includes the intersections with Barker Road/Cataldo Avenue and Barker Road/I-90 under the single -lane roundabout configuration proposed by WSDOT as an interim solution. All settings were set to be consistent with WSDOT SimTraffic Protocol with the same PHF and saturation flow rate used in the Synchro analysis. SimTraffic was not used to analyze operations with two-lane roundabouts. Sidra software was used in those instances. EXISTING CONDITIONS Within the 1.6 mile segment of Barker Road between Mission Avenue and the south Spokane Valley City limits there are four signalized intersections. These are located where Barker Road crosses Mission Avenue, Cataldo Avenue/I-90 westbound ramp, 1-90 eastbound ramp and Appleway Avenue. There is a four-way stop at Barker Road/Sprague Avenue. All other intersection are controlled by side -street stop signs. The segment of Barker Road north of Boone Avenue is a three lane street with bike lanes, curb and gutter and 5-foot sidewalks on both sides. South of Boone Avenue Barker Road is a two-lane street without curb, gutter, storm drain or sidewalks. South of Appleway there is an asphalt paved multiuse trail on the west side of the street that extends to Chapman Road in unincorporated Spokane County. Existing peak hour traffic volumes and lane configurations at the ten study intersections are shown in Figure 3. 3 www.wsdot.wa.gov/Design/Traffic/Analysis/ City of Spokane Valley 9 I P a g e e m — (69) 06 .

Thus, both intersections of Barker Road/I-90 do not currently meet WSDOT LOS standards. Additionally, the queue along Barker Road from the two 1-90 intersections impacts the LOS at both Barker Road/Boone Avenue and the two Barker Road/Broadway intersections, causing all three intersections to operate at LOS F during either the AM or PM peak hours or both. Additionally the Barker Road/Sprague Avenue intersection is operating at LOS E during the PM peak hour. This intersection has been identified by COSV as a location in need of improvement to address existing congestion and multimodal operations. Results of the existing conditions traffic analysis show this intersection is just two additional seconds of delay from operating at LOS F. A small increase in traffic is likely cause this intersection to operate at LOS F without improvements. The existing average and maximum queue lengths at the Barker Road/I-90 interchange during the AM peak hour are shown in Figure 5 and in the PM peak hour are shown in Figure 6. In the AM peak hour a long queue forms in the southbound direction at the Barker Road/I-90 westbound ramp intersection. In the PM peak hour a long queue forms in the eastbound direction at the Barker Road/I-90 eastbound ramp intersection. It should be noted the distance between the gore point in the eastbound direction of 1-90 City of Spokane Valley 11 'Page SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY Updated Report v8 2/7/20 and the Barker Road intersection is about 1,700 feet and the average queue on this segment during the PM peak hour is 1,200 feet and the maximum queue is 1,500 feet.

Based on the posted speed and number of lanes, the LOS D threshold for the corridor is 13,800 ADT (as defined in the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual), and the length -average ADT-to-LOS D volume threshold ratio is 0.83. As long as the ratio is less than or equal to 1.00, the corridor is defined as operating at LOS D or better even though some intersections may experience greater congestion than LOS D. City of Spokane Valley 12'Page SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY Updated Report v8 2/7/20 I-90 INTERCHANGE INTERIM IMPROVEMENTS SUMMARY & FINDINGS The Barker Road/I-90 interchange is currently operating at LOS E or worse at one or both interchange intersections in both the AM and PM peak hour, thus failing WSDOT LOS standards. WSDOT has proposed an interim solution that includes single -lane roundabouts at each ramp intersection until the long-term concept proposed in the 2014 IJR can be implemented. Traffic analysis was performed for the intersections between Barker Road/Boone Avenue and Barker Road/Broadway, including both ramps of the Barker Road/I-90 interchange in years 2020, 2023, and 2028. The analysis was performed to determine how well and for how long a single -lane roundabouts as depicted in Figure 7 would operate acceptably at the two intersections. Figure 7. Barker Road/I-90 Interchange Interim Concept proposed by WSDOT yeerlJ���r` +�+rt• _it% • tit" r �'.^bd,l iA 4 aroadway Source: WSDOT A subsequent revision to this interim concept, shown in Figure 8, shifted the northern single -lane roundabout to the existing Cataldo Avenue/Barker Road/I-90 Westbound intersection, maintaining the existing "hook ramp" configuration. According to the best available information at this time regarding long-term plans for the interchange and replacement of the Barker Road Bridge, the advantage of this configuration, as compared to the tight diamond configuration (shown in Figure 7 and originally proposed as the interim solution) is that the proposed location of the Barker Road/westbound ramp intersection is City of Spokane Valley 13'Page SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY Updated Report v8 2/7/20 farther from 1-90 than what is proposed with a tight diamond configuration. This would allow WSDOT to convert a single -lane roundabout at this location to a two-lane roundabout in the future when the Barker Road Bridge over 1-90 is replaced without necessitating lowering the elevation of the 1-90 travel lanes in order to achieve the required clearance under the bridge. Figure 8. Barker Road/I-90 westbound ramp intersection — revised Interim Concept Source: WSDOT A summary of the key findings of this traffic analysis are presented below: • A single lane roundabout will operate acceptably at Barker/I-90 Interchange in 2020 with: o A 2nd southbound approach lane at the westbound ramp — This can be implemented through restriping and curb modification within the existing ROW. o A 2nd eastbound approach lane at the eastbound ramp • The eastbound ramp intersection will drop below LOS D sometime between 2023 and 2028 o Main constraint: sometime between 2023 and 2028 the northbound traffic demand across the bridge will exceed the physical capacity of the bridge (1,000-1,100 vph) • Regardless of the configuration (either what is shown in Figure 7 or Figure 8) westbound ramp will operate at an acceptable LOS by 2028 because the eastbound roundabout will effectively "meter" northbound traffic so that there will be gaps for the heavy southbound traffic to enter Figure 9 summarizes the LOS results based on SimTraffic. It should also be noted that Sidra analysis was also performed for both intersections in years 2020, 2023 and 2028 with results showing that the v/c ratio would exceed the 0.85-0.9 threshold for both intersections sometime between 2023 and 2028, with the eastbound ramp failing sooner. However, unlike the Sidra results, SimTraffic showed that the eastbound ramp intersection would effectively "meter" traffic entering the westbound ramp intersection resulting in acceptable LOS at that intersection through 2028.

Given this, it is recommended that the City of Spokane Valley work with WSDOT to secure funding within 5-10 years to replace the Barker Road Bridge over 1-90 with a four -lane bridge. 2040 ANALYSIS & FINDINGS Traffic analysis of the Barker Corridor intersections was performed with the assumption that several already planned transportation projects would be implemented. This includes: • • • Barker Road from Mission Avenue to Appleway would be widened to five lanes (through a combination of several projects). The Barker Road/I-90 interchange would be reconfigured into two-lane roundabouts at each ramp intersection similar to the Barker Road IJR preferred alternative, with some modifications (as described below), including adding Boone Avenue into the westbound ramp roundabout and preserving the existing hook ramp configuration for the westbound ramp. The east leg of Broadway would be realigned with the west leg of Broadway at Barker Road. These changes would effectively consolidate the Barker Road/Boone Avenue intersection with the Barker Road/I-90 westbound ramp/Cataldo Avenue intersection and consolidate the two Broadway intersections into one. Consolidation of these intersection means under 2040 conditions there would be eight study intersections instead of ten. Traffic volumes and lane configurations assumed in 2040 at each of the study intersections are shown in Figure 10.

The configuration of the Barker Road/I-90 eastbound ramp intersection would be largely the same as the Barker Road IJR preferred alternative, including a roundabout with two circulating lanes and two eastbound approach lanes on the 1-90 off -ramp. However, the Barker Road/I-90 westbound ramp intersection was modified from the Barker Road IJR preferred alternative in order to preserve the "hook ramp" configuration at the same location as today, with Cataldo Avenue on the east leg. Reasons for this change were to satisfy City of Spokane Valley and WSDOT's desire to shift the interim solution to a location that better accommodates long-term reconstruction of the interchange, as well as City of Spokane Valley's desire to find a solution with the least impact to private property. Converting the 1-90 westbound ramp to a diamond interchange would have either required Cataldo Avenue to be rerouted through private property to Boone Avenue or the Barker Road/I-90 westbound ramp intersection to be moved closer to 1-90. The original IJR preferred alternative would also have necessitated lowering 1-90 in order to achieve adequate clearance under the Barker Road Bridge. Preserving the hook ramp negates both of these potential issues. While the bridge will still need to be replaced to achieve adequate clearance, the proposed configuration would allow sufficient approach length to achieve adequate clearance without the need of lowering 1-90. In addition, the east and west leg of Boone Avenue was added to the westbound ramp roundabout in order to preserve full movement on Boone Avenue and reduce the potential impacts of loss of access or additional ROW needed to provide access near the existing Boone Avenue intersection. These modifications result in a roundabout with six legs. Without this configuration Boone Avenue would be too close to the Barker Road/I-90 westbound ramp roundabout to safely operate with full movements. It should be noted that the concepts shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 are schematic in nature and the exact diameter of a future roundabout would need to be determined through a more detailed engineering study. The assumed length of the roundabout diameter does not affect the Sidra outputs.

The v/c ratio would be meet the WSDOT threshold of 0.85-0.90 for both intersection in both the AM and PM peak hour. Results presented in Figure 13 show that the Barker Road/Sprague intersection (which had poor LOS under existing conditions) would operate at LOS F in both the AM and PM peak hour without improvements. City of Spokane Valley 19'Page SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY v8 2/7/20 Updated Report Additionally, the Barker Road/Broadway intersection would operate at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hour and would meet the peak hour signal warrant in the PM peak hour, thus failing the City of Spokane LOS threshold in 2040. Analysis shows that the Barker Road/4th Avenue and Barker Road/8th Avenue intersection will with acceptable LOS through 2040 under the existing configurations with side street stop control. These intersections would also operate acceptably with a signal or roundabout although the forecasts do not indicate that either intersection would meet the peak hour signal warrant in 2040. Mitigation Measures • Barker Road/Sprague Avenue - Traffic operations at the Barker Road/Sprague Avenue intersection were analyzed in Sidra assuming a single -lane roundabout concept and in Synchro assuming a traffic signal with left turn lanes and protected left -turn signal timing for all approaches. Results, shown in Figure 15, demonstrate that a single -lane roundabout or a traffic signal with protected left -turn lanes would result in acceptable traffic operations at this intersection in 2040. Figure 16 summarizes the pros and cons of implementing a traffic signal as compared to a roundabout at this intersection. The primary differences in a traffic signal versus a roundabout relate to traffic safety, cost, right-of-way impact, impervious surface and landscaping opportunities. While this study recommends a roundabout at this intersection primarily due to the safety benefits, the City will undertake a separate and more detailed design study as part of implementation to determine the ultimate future intersection configuration.

Pros and cons of a roundabout versus a traffic signal at Barker Road/Sprague Avenue intersection. Factors Roundabout versus Traffic Signal Traffic Safety The primary benefit of a roundabout over a traffic signal is related to traffic safety. Research provided by WSDOT shows that on average single -lane roundabouts result in 75% fewer injury crashes and 90% fewer fatalities than signalized intersections. Roundabouts mitigate the risk of moderate -to - high -speed broadside crashes commonly caused by a driver running the red light at a traffic signal. Capital Cost On average the capital cost of constructing a roundabout is higher than the capital cost of constructing a signalized intersection, but this can vary from location to location. Operations & Maintenance Cost Long-term operations and maintenance costs associated with a roundabout are typically lower than those associated with a traffic signal (about $5,000 to $10,000 per year based on COSV research), often enough to offset the higher capital cost of a roundabout over the life of the project. Right -Of -Way Impact On average, the right-of-way (ROW) impact of a roundabout can be greater than a traffic signal, but varies depending on the location and number of turn lanes. At the Barker/Sprague location the area of ROW impact would be similar with a roundabout or a signal and neither would impact existing structures. Impervious Surface A roundabout could result in more impervious surface than a traffic signal depending on whether the center island is landscaped or hardscaped. Art & Landscape Opportunities Roundabouts typically have more opportunity for landscaping or art (primarily because of the center island) than traffic signals. Noise & Air Pollution Roundabouts typically result in less air pollution and noise than a traffic signal due to less idling and fewer hard accelerations. • Barker Road/Broadway — Additionally, a two-lane roundabout at the Barker Road/Broadway intersection would result in acceptable operations in year 2040. A traffic signal is not advised at this location due to the proximity of this intersection to the planned roundabout at the Barker Road/I-90 eastbound ramp and the potential for queue spillback onto the 1-90 roundabout. An acceptable alternative to a roundabout would be to convert this intersection to right-in/right- out/left-in only configuration. However, this type of intersection configuration would result in some degree of inconvenience for drivers trying to make a left -turn from either leg of Broadway to Barker Road as they would have go out of direction to make that movement. If there is substantial commercial development along the Broadway corridor in the future, the lack of left - out movement could be a major impact to the viability of retail businesses. However, if the Broadway corridor has similar land uses as today (or other lower trip generating uses like offices or apartments), the lack of outbound left -turns would be less of an impact. City of Spokane Valley 21IPage SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY Updated Report v8 2/7/20 Diverging Roundabout Concept Given the high volume of northbound left turns from Barker Road onto 1-90 westbound (700 in the AM peak), WSDOT suggested that a "diverging roundabout" concept be tested to see if the interchange could operate effectively with single -lane roundabouts. A diverging roundabout is a diverging diamond interchange with roundabouts instead of signalized "crossover" intersections —see an example in Figure 17. The advantage of this concept is it eliminates all turning vehicle conflicts. The only point of conflict is where through traffic must cross over to the other side of the road. A diverging diamond interchange works best in situations where there are high volumes of vehicles turning off or onto the highway and not a lot of through movement on the road crossing the highway. Figure 17. Diverging roundabout concept. Image source: https://www.youtube.corn/watch?y=ms5Ty2JPME Sidra software was used to test the diverging roundabout concept in 2040 with one circulating lane at both the eastbound and westbound 1-90 ramp intersections with Barker Road. Results are shown in Figure 15 and illustrate this configuration would meet WSDOT standards during three of the four conditions tested. This configuration would result in unacceptable operations at the Barker Road/I-90 westbound ramp in the PM peak hour due to the high volume of northbound and southbound through movements. The primary other disadvantage of this configuration is it would require a diamond interchange, which means the hook ramp would have to be removed and Cataldo Avenue would have to be rerouted to Boone Avenue. It should be noted, however, that a diverging roundabout interchange would likely meet WSDOT LOS standards if the roundabouts were dual -lane and there was a four -lane bridge over 1-90 (although this configuration was not specifically analyzed).

Mission Avenue to Appleway Avenue The Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan identifies a five -lane urban section for Barker Road between Mission Avenue and Appleway Avenue. The segment between 1-90 and Appleway Avenue is also identified in the Spokane Valley six -year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) as a five -lane arterial. Furthermore the segment between Mission Avenue and 1-90 is identified in the in the Northeast Industrial Area Planned Action Ordinance (PAO), which is in the process of being adopted as a supplement to the Spokane Comprehensive Plan EIS. WSDOT has allocated funding in 2019 and 2020 for implementing an interim improvement to the Barker Road/I-90 interchange until a longer -term solution can be implemented as identified in the SRTC Horizon 2040 Plan and I-90/Barker Road IJR. Based on these previously planned projects and findings of the traffic operations analysis presented in the previous section of this report, the following projects are recommended for Barker Road north of Appleway Avenue. • Barker Road/I-90 Interchange Interim Improvements — It is recommended that WSDOT convert the 1-90 eastbound and westbound ramp intersections with Barker Road to single -lane roundabouts as an interim measure to improve traffic operations and safety until funding for a longer -term solution can be secured. Roundabouts would be implemented at the same locations as the ramp terminal intersections are located today. As part of this project, a second southbound approach lane should be added on Barker Road at the westbound ramp. This can be implemented through restriping and curb modification within the existing ROW. Additionally, a second eastbound approach lane should be added to the eastbound 1-90 off -ramp. WSDOT will also realign the east leg of Broadway to match the location of the existing west leg. Traffic analysis shows that this solution will operate effectively for about 5-10 years. Thus, it is recommended that WSDOT and City of Spokane Valley work to secure funding for a longer -term solution within the next 5 to 10 years. • Barker Road/I-90 Interchange Long -Term Improvements — It is recommended that WSDOT convert the 1-90 eastbound and westbound ramp intersections with Barker Road to two-lane roundabouts as a longer -term solution to improve traffic operations through 2040. Consistent with recommendations from the 2014 IJR, this would include two eastbound approach lanes at the Barker Road/I-90 eastbound ramp intersection and an expansion of the roundabout to include two circulating lanes. However, unlike the 2014 IJR, it is recommended that westbound hook ramp be preserved and the roundabout at the westbound ramp be implemented as a six -leg intersection with Cataldo and Boone Avenue (this would also require that the interim roundabout be widened to include two circulating lanes). This project would include replacement of the Barker Road Bridge over 1-90 with a four -lane bridge including a multiuse trail or sidewalk on both sides to wide enough to allow for safe circulation of bicyclists and pedestrians. • Barker Road — Mission Avenue to Boone Avenue Widening — It is recommended that Spokane Valley widen this segment of Barker Road to a five -lane urban section. This project has been identified in the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan and the Northeast Industrial Area PAO. It is recommended that this project be implemented at the same time as (or shortly after) the long term improvements are made to the Barker Road/I-90 Interchange. City of Spokane Valley 23 I P a g e SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY v8 2/7/20 Updated Report • Barker Road —1-90 to Appleway Avenue Widening - It is recommended that Spokane Valley widen this segment of Barker Road to a five -lane urban section. This project is identified in the 2019- 2024 TIP. It is recommended that this project be implemented at the same time as the long term improvements are made to the Barker Road/I-90 Interchange. Given that traffic analysis also shows the Barker Road/Broadway intersection will need improvement by 2040, it is also recommended that either a two-lane roundabout at Barker Road/Broadway be implemented as part of this project or the intersection be converted to prevent left -out movements. A roundabout at Broadway was included in the TIP. Appleway Avenue to South City Limits As identified in the traffic operations analysis, the South Barker corridor will operate acceptably in 2040 with either single -lane roundabouts or traffic signals at the major intersections (Sprague Ave, 4th Ave, 8th Ave).4 The Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan and TIP identify a three -lane urban roadway section between Appleway and the southern city limit. This roadway would consist of one travel lane in each direction, a two-way left -turn lane, a sidewalk, and the existing multi -use trail. Traffic signal control at the major intersections is entirely consistent with the three -lane cross section, since left -turn lanes approaching the intersections would be required. This configuration is very common in Spokane Valley. However, single -lane roundabouts do not require a turn -lane at the major intersections and this configuration could be pursued with a narrower cross-section with just two travel lanes in each direction. While it is true that traffic signals (with widening at the major intersections) could also be accommodated with a two-lane segment, this configuration is less common in the Valley (existing two- lane roads with traffic signals often do not have turn lanes at major intersections, which reduces the capacity of the street). Based on this finding, Spokane Valley may wish to consider a two-lane cross section for all or a portion of the South Barker Road corridor. Figure 19 illustrates a few pros and cons of the three -lane versus two- lane configuration. For purposes of this study, the cost estimates assume the full three -lane buildout to capture the higher potential cost, which would lead to a cost savings if the two-lane design is ultimately selected. 4 Note that in the near -term (next 5-6 years), only the intersection at Barker Rd/Sprague Ave will likely warrant a traffic signal or roundabout to address poor traffic LOS. However, as development increases in the future it is not unlikely that the intersections at 4' Ave and 8' Ave will eventually need to be upgraded from their current side - street stop control. As of now, it does not appear that these intersections will require upgrades prior to 2040, but that could change if a larger use (e.g., apartment, church) is permitted along one of these streets. City of Spokane Valley 24 'Page SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY Updated Report Figure 19. Pros and cons of a two-lane versus three -lane configuration south of Appleway. v8 2/7/20 Option Pros Cons Two-lane configuration • 33 percent less paved area; results in lower up -front costs and lower long- term maintenance costs • Less impervious surface reduces stormwater conveyance and treatment costs • More space within the right-of-way for wider sidewalks or landscaped area • No mid -block left -turn lane; may require a median to prohibit left - turns at larger developments or a short widened section to accommodate a turn lane • Retrofitting a turn lane could be costly if a parcel is rezoned at a later date for a more intensive use Three -lane configuration • Once this configuration is in place, there is no need to retrofit the road to accommodate left -turns at larger developments • Better accommodates more trip - intensive land uses like multifamily residential • Higher cost to build and maintain • More impervious surface and water runoff • Less opportunity for landscaping Source: Fehr & Peers, 2018 Given these pros and cons, along with the potential for rezoning of the land north of Sprague Avenue to more dense residential, the following projects are recommended: • Barker Road/Sprague Avenue Intersection Improvements— Implement a single -lane roundabout at Barker Road/Sprague Avenue intersection to improve traffic operations and safety. This project should be prioritized for this segment and can be implemented prior to making corridor -wide improvements. A roundabout is recommended over a traffic signal at this intersection because roundabouts tend to have lower numbers of serious traffic collisions and they cost less to maintain in the long -run compared to traffic signals. In addition, with all the other roundabouts being built by WSDOT farther north on the corridor, roundabouts will be a common and consistent traffic control device on Barker Road. • Barker Road —Appleway Avenue to Sprague Avenue Widening — Implement a three -lane cross section between Appleway and Sprague Avenue; consider extending the existing northbound right -turn lane at Appleway approximately 200 feet south to Laberry Drive and converting this to a northbound through -right lane when Barker Road is widened north of Appleway. • Barker Road —Sprague Avenue to South City Limits Improvements — Implement a two-lane cross section south of Sprague Avenue. In the design, set the multi -use trail and sidewalk in a position that could ultimately accommodate a three -lane cross section. Build two lanes of a potential three -lane configuration where one side of the street will have a final curb and gutter and the other side of the street will have a shoulder and swale for drainage. In this way, the street can more -easily be widened if it is ever necessary to accommodate a mid -block turn lane, but most of the corridor will benefit from the narrower cross-section. Given the current single-family zoning and the generally smaller parcels south of Sprague, it seems that this area is less likely to see pressure for rezoning and the two-lane cross section will operate well in the future. • 4th Avenue and 8th Avenue Intersection Improvements - Phase the construction of Barker Road to include single -lane roundabouts at 4th Avenue and 8th Avenue along with the two-lane configuration.

Costs do not include WSDOT's portion City of Spokane Valley 26IPage SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY v8 2/7/20 Updated Report Source: Fehr & Peers; City of Spokane Valley. Cost estimates are primarily derived from the City of Spokane Valley 2019-2024 Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Exceptions include the cost of the Barker Road Improvement Project — Mission to 1-90, which is derived from the estimate provided in the Northeast Industrial Area PAO and adjusted for 2018 dollars and the 4th Avenue/Barker & 8th Avenue/Barker Intersection Improvements, which assume a cost of $1.5 million per intersection comparable to the cost estimate for the Sprague/Barker Intersection Improvements. Projects are divided into four distinct timeframes: immediate (by 2020), near -term (3-6 years), mid-term (by 2030) and long-term (2040). The timing of implementation is based on a combination of traffic analysis findings of when the project is needed to meet LOS criteria, time for project development and anticipated availability of funding. Fair Share Analysis and Potential Funding In order to offset the costs of the future infrastructure projects that will be needed to achieve acceptable multimodal operations in the Barker Road Corridor, one option would be for Spokane Valley to collect traffic impact mitigation fees based on a fair -share analysis. Fees could be collected from developments in Spokane Valley around the Barker Road corridor, as well as from neighboring jurisdictions, including Liberty Lake and Spokane County where development is expected to generate traffic that will utilize the corridor, generate/exacerbate traffic impacts, and benefit from the future roadway widening projects. The fair -share financial contribution is determined by how much traffic each jurisdiction is expected to contribute in 2040 to locations in the Barker Road corridor where future transportation improvement projects were identified. The same regional travel demand model used to forecast 2040 traffic was used to estimate the percent of traffic through various segments of Barker Road generated by a portion of each jurisdiction. This was done by using a tool in the model called a "select zone analysis." The select zone analysis was set to identify the traffic generated by the area in each jurisdiction where development is expected to have the greatest traffic impact on the South Barker Road corridor and thus where a development fee could be reasonably assessed. This includes the portion of Spokane Valley south of the Spokane River and east of Flora Road, the area of unincorporated Spokane County immediately south and east of the Spokane Valley City limits and the City of Liberty Lake west of Harvard Road as shown in Figure 21. Please note that the Northeast Industrial Area (north of the Spokane River) was excluded from this analysis as the City is already utilizing a Planned Action Ordinance to assess fair -share fees for projects on Barker Road north of 1-90.

SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY v8 2/7/20 Updated Report To complete this analysis, the corridor was divided into three segments: north of 1-90, between 1-90 and Appleway Avenue, and south of Appleway Avenue. The results of the fair share analysis are shown Figure 22. As an example, Figure 22 shows that by 2040 about 18% of traffic on Barker Road north of 1-90 will be generated by Liberty Lake and 4% will be generated by unincorporated Spokane County immediately south and east of Spokane Valley. South of Appleway Avenue, only about 2% of traffic on Barker Road will be generated by Liberty Lake and 35% will be generated by development in unincorporated Spokane County immediately south and east of the Spokane Valley city limits. It should be noted that the percentages represent the percent of trip ends, since all trips have two ends. The select link analysis provides the origins and destinations by TAZ of all the PM peak hour trips traveling in each direction of Barker Road. Since each trip has both an origin and destination, half of the trip was assigned to the origin and half of the trip was assigned to the destination. For example, in the case of a trip that begins in Spokane Valley and ends in Liberty Lake half of that trip would be assigned to Spokane Valley and half to Liberty Lake, since both locations generated one end of the trip. Trips in the "other" category include traffic that has at least one trip end outside the TAZs included in the travel shed (see Figure 21). These include trips passing through the area or trips that have one end in the travel shed and one end outside of the travel shed (e.g., a trip between southeast Spokane Valley and downtown Spokane). Spokane Valley will need to use non -mitigation fee funding (grants, general funds) to cover the cost of the "other" trips since they cannot be levied on developers in the study area. Figure 22.

Given the relatively low volume of traffic generated by unincorporated Spokane County north of 1-90 and the relatively low volume of traffic generated by Liberty Lake south of Appleway Avenue it is recommended to exclude those jurisdictions from contributing to the cost of projects in those respective segments. It is recommended that new development in Liberty Lake be assessed a fair -share fee of 18% of the capital cost of infrastructure projects needed between Mission Avenue and Boone Avenue and 16% of the capital cost of infrastructure projects needed between 1-90 and Appleway Avenue. Similarly, it is recommended that new development in Spokane County within the south Barker Corridor travel shed (see Figure 21) be assessed a fair -share fee of 17% of the capital cost of infrastructure projects needed between 1-90 and Appleway Avenue and a fair share fee of 35% of the capital cost of infrastructure projects needed between Appleway Avenue and the south city limits. In addition to determining which jurisdictions use the new infrastructure, a fair share transportation impact mitigation fee must consider "existing deficiencies." Impact fee case law clearly states that new developments cannot be charged to fix existing deficiencies to the transportation system. Based on the LOS analysis above, there are existing deficiencies at the 1-90 ramp intersections. Since WSDOT is funding City of Spokane Valley 29 'Page SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY v8 2/7/20 Updated Report the bulk of the interim improvements at the Barker Road interchange, there is no need to take a credit at that location. When the percentages in Figure 22 are applied to the cost of the projects listed in Figure 20, the fair share cost that can be applied to new development in each jurisdiction is listed in Figure 23. The total fair share cost is estimated at about $1.57 million to Liberty Lake and $3.57 million to Spokane County. It should be noted that Spokane Valley already has an agreement with Spokane County for a number of vested developments to pay a mitigation fee for improvements on Barker Road. The agreement totals $116,411, which was subtracted from the fair -share cost (specifically the Barker Road Improvement Project — Appleway to South City Limits). Figure 23.

Typically, costs to mitigate transportation infrastructure impacts are allocated based on PM peak hour traffic generation. Using PM peak hour trips is typical, since it is the PM peak hour that typically has the most -congested traffic and trips are a way to distribute costs in a way that is proportionate to the total impact generated. In other words, larger developments that generate more trips pay proportionately more than smaller developments that generate fewer trips. To develop a per -trip fee, it necessary to estimate PM peak hour traffic that will be generated by new development in the area that will use the South Barker Road Corridor. This includes portions of Spokane Valley and unincorporated Spokane County with the Barker Road Corridor travel shed and Liberty Lake east of Harvard Road (see Figure 21). Based on the 2015 and 2040 regional travel demand model, it was found that about 5,033 new PM peak hour trips will be generated by new development in this area between 2015 and 2040. This includes 2,212 new PM peak hour trips generated by Spokane Valley, 1,888 new PM peak hour trips generated by Liberty Lake and 933 new PM peak hour trips generated by unincorporated Spokane County. To estimate a cost per PM peak hour trip, one would divide the total City of Spokane Valley 30 'Page SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY v8 2/7/20 Updated Report eligible costs of Barker Road projects (project costs minus existing deficiencies) by the new PM peak hour trips forecast to be generated in the study area. As an example, Figure 24 illustrates the cost of each capital improvement project recommended on the South Barker Road Corridor through 2040, along with the portion of the cost attributed to Spokane Valley traffic and the corresponding cost per new PM peak hour trip generated by development east of Flora Road and south of the Spokane River. The total cost of all projects (excluding WSDOT's portion) is about $16.8 million. Using the fair -share estimate, about $3.3 million would be attributed to traffic generated by Southeast Spokane Valley. When the fair share cost is divided by the number of new PM peak hour trips expected from development in Southeast Spokane Valley between 2015 and 2040, the total cost per PM peak hour trip would be $1,503.

These fees represent potential fair -share costs that could be levied on new development to help finance projects on the South Barker Corridor.

In the three TAZs in Liberty Lake west of Harvard Road, about 1,490 of the 1,929 total new dwelling units forecast to be added between 2015 and 2040 have already been vested. In addition, a number of properties in Liberty Lake have already been vested for commercial development (about 397,853 sq. ft. across the City). While there is no mechanism to charge a mitigation fee to existing or vested trips, the number of vested trips does not detract from the fact that Barker Road is not expected to meet the City of Spokane Valley LOS standard by 2040, nor does it detract that development and growth in Liberty Lake and Spokane County contributes substantially to the traffic and congestion on Barker Road. One could recalculate a new impact fee that specifically accounts for the vested trips. However, the resulting impact fee for the unvested trips would be higher than what was calculated in this Study. This is because the total costs for the capacity expansion would be the same, but there would be fewer growth trips to spread the cost of necessary transportation improvements across. Based on a rough calculation, it's estimated the cost per PM peak hour trip for unvested growth in Liberty Lake to be approximately $1,200 to $1,300 or about 50% higher than the PM peak hour fee of $830 when vested trips are included. Therefore, Spokane Valley is suggesting that any unvested trips be assessed the fee calculated in this study as its proportionate fair -share fee. This keeps these trips from being additionally cost -burdened because of the inability to capture the costs of the vested trips. It should be noted that Spokane Valley already has an agreement with Spokane County for a number of vested developments to pay a mitigation fee for improvements on Barker Road. The agreement totals $116,411, which was subtracted from the fair -share cost for Spokane County. CONCLUSIONS This report provides a summary of recommended capital improvement projects and estimated costs on the South Barker Corridor between Mission Avenue and the south City limits to be implemented by 2040. Projects are recommended to meet City and WSDOT LOS standards as well as to improve multimodal mobility in preparation for future development. This report also provides analysis of a fair -share cost estimation associated with traffic generated by adjacent jurisdictions and potential development traffic impact mitigation fees as one tool to finance projects. Lastly, guidance is provided to WSDOT on the City of Spokane Valley's preferred interim and long-term alternative for the 1-90 interchange. Analysis of existing conditions shows that both intersections of the Barker Road/I-90 Interchange are not currently operating at acceptable standards and the Barker Road/Sprague Avenue intersection is close to City of Spokane Valley 32 'Page SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY v8 2/7/20 Updated Report failing COSV standards in the PM peak hour. Additionally, by 2040 the Barker Road/Broadway intersection will fail City of Spokane Valley LOS standards. Traffic on Barker Road is expected to grow at a rate of about 1.4% per year through 2040, which will necessitate widening the corridor to five lanes between Mission Avenue and Appleway Avenue. In order to address traffic operations, traffic safety and multimodal mobility on the corridor a total of eight capital improvement projects are recommended to be implemented between now and 2040. These are listed below, organized into four different time frames for implementation based on when the project is needed as well as other factors (including funding availability): • Immediate (2019-2020) o 1-90 Eastbound Ramp/Barker Road Interim Improvements (single -lane roundabout) o 1-90 Westbound Ramp/Barker Road Interim Improvements (single -lane roundabout) • Near -Term (2021-2024) o Barker Road/Sprague Avenue Intersection Improvements • Mid -Term (2025-2030) o I-90/Barker Road Interchange Long -Term Improvements o Barker Road Improvement Project — 1-90 to Appleway Avenue (5-lane urban section) o Barker Road Improvement Project — Mission Avenue to 1-90 (5-lane urban section) • Long -Term (2031-2040) o Barker Road Improvement Project—Appleway Avenue to south City Limits o 4th Avenue/Barker & 8th Avenue/Barker Intersection Improvements In summary, the recommended improvements by 2040 would result in the following future condition. Barker Road would have bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the street and curb and gutter along the length of the corridor. The road would be widened to five lanes from Mission Avenue to Appleway Avenue, three lanes from Appleway Avenue to Sprague Avenue and two -lanes from Sprague Avenue to the south City limits. South of Sprague, the area between the sidewalks on either side of the street would be wide enough to accommodate a third center turn lane in the future if warranted by development. Two- lane roundabouts would be implemented at both intersection of the 1-90 interchange. The Boone Avenue intersection would be consolidated into a new six -leg roundabout with the 1-90 westbound ramp and Cataldo Avenue. The bridge over 1-90 would be widened to four lanes with wide sidewalks on both sides to accommodate both bicyclists and pedestrians. The east -leg of Broadway would be realigned to meet the west -leg and the Broadway intersection would be converted to a roundabout or reconfigured to prevent left -out movements. New single -lane roundabouts or traffic signals would be implemented at the Sprague Avenue, 4th Avenue and 8th Avenue intersections. The combined costs of the projects, excluding the portion that would be funded by WSDOT, is estimated to be about $16.8 million in 2018 dollars. A fair -share analysis of the corridor was also conducted to highlight how development in Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, and Spokane County could help to finance these projects. By multiplying the eligible project cost with the fair -share percentage and charging that fee, it would ensure that new development in each jurisdiction is contributing funding to the project reflective of their use of/benefit from the improvement. The fair -share analysis demonstrated that traffic from Southeast Spokane Valley developments will generate fairly equal demand on the length of the corridor. Traffic from Liberty Lake is generally expected to use the section of Barker Road north of Appleway Avenue and traffic from unincorporated Spokane County will generally use the section of the City of Spokane Valley 33 'Page SOUTH BARKER CORRIDOR STUDY v8 2/7/20 Updated Report corridor south of 1-90. Therefore, it is recommended that a fee program be implemented to collect fees for projects on three distinct segments of the corridor based on the fair -share percentage: • Mission Avenue to 1-90 • 1-90 to Appleway Avenue • Appleway Avenue to south City limits It should be noted that while developer impact fees can provide an important source of funding, after negotiating with developers, elected officials, and neighboring jurisdictions, the impact fees are typically set so that they only cover a portion of project costs (typically less than 50%). Thus, Spokane Valley will need to use other financing strategies to pay for the remaining costs of the projects identified above. Other financing strategies Spokane Valley might consider include implementing a local improvement district or transportation benefit district, and applying for grants. Historically, Spokane Valley has had strong success in seeking and winning external funding, which has kept the costs of expanding transportation infrastructure relatively low for both developers and existing taxpayers compared to other cities in the region and state.
