PROCLAMATION: n/a

invited public comments.

declared a red road and nothing has been done.
Mr.Jim Hose:he requested that his neighborhood be added to the six-year street plan; said part of that area
was developed in the 1950s,60's, and 70's and nothing has been done for a long time in his neighborhood.
1. PUBLIC HEARING: Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program—Adam Jackson
Mayor Haley opened the public hearing at 4:34 p.m. and invited Mr.Jackson to explain about the program.
Mr. Jackson explained that the TIP is a tool of the state to enable the spending of REET(real estate excise
taxes) on capital projects; he also mentioned the red spaces shown on slide 8, project 30, are the worst
streets and not sustainable financially;that cities can spend more dollars fixing smaller areas as without any
treatment,they will slowly fall into disrepair; so it is a fine balancing act which staff constantly evaluates;
said the area around 29th and Highway 27 is not specifically in the TIP, and that of course, funding comes
into play for all the projects.Councilmember Padden told Mr.Jackson that he might have a different attitude

if he lived in one of those neighborhoods, that 35 years is a long time without any major improvements,
and that she would like to see this neighborhood included in the six-year plan. Mr. Jackson said that even
after the street wear fees were applied to the Midilome project,that area is still shown in red;that particular
neighborhood along with other neighborhoods are on the list for the pavement study, but the problem is
also stormwater. In response to a question from Mayor Haley about how we make the red roads good,Mr.
Hohman said that we have been talking extensively about that for 19 years; that the Street Sustainability
Committee last year mentioned that the one thing we do well on is the arterials,but there is no grant money
for local access roads;even using the street wear fee of$1.5 million,those funds don't go far; said it would
be prudent to add this onto the Plan and to look at different options about moving this forward for that and
other neighborhoods;he said that ARPA funds are not an allowable use unless it is for water and sewer;he
also noted we have certain challenges coming forward on the budget that we discussed this morning; but
that we have under-funded maintenance and preservation of local access roads from the beginning.Mayor
Haley invited public comment. Mr.Jim Hose again spoke to the disrepair of the roads.Mr. Curtis Reiland
asked when this would happen and said it should have been six or seven years ago. There were no further
public comments and Mayor Haley closed the public hearing at 4:56 p.m.
2. Resolution 22-010 Adopting Transportation Improvement Program—Adam Jackson
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins and seconded to approve Resolution 22-010 adopting the 2023-
2028 Six Year TIP as presented. Councilmember Wick mentioned that the policy has been to focus on the
yellow area, and mentioned the $1.5 million for the Midilome area; said the programs were previously
funded by the phone utility tax which has been dramatically dwindling; said we can't keep up with the
yellow streets let alone the red as the revenue isn't there and said Council has to come to an agreement
about increasing revenues. Mayor Haley mentioned that there will be a future discussion about property
taxes as most of our income comes from sales tax. It was moved by Councilmember Padden and seconded
to add the Skyview neighborhood to the TIP. Mr. Jackson explained that the TIP is a high-level planning
document;that if Council approves the motion,he will add the Skyview Neighborhood project,but it will
be in the last year of the TIP. Mr. Hohman added that staff would come back at a future meeting and
highlight the cost of this project.Councilmember Wick reminded everyone that the TIP has to be financially
constrained, with comment from Councilmember Woodard that Council needs to talk about the need for
additional revenue to address residential neighborhoods, even with coming into a time when it would be
difficult to pay for additional programs. Mr. Jackson also reminded everyone projects must be in the six-
year TIP program in order to use the REET(real estate tax)funds, and that the Tip can be amended at any
time. Mr. Hohman said it would be helpful to have Mr. Jackson look at the extent of the poor streets and
come back later for that discussion; that we don't have the funds to expend, but can look at the
neighborhoods and identify the needs. Vote by acclamation to amend the motion: in favor: unanimous.
Opposed: none. Motion carried. Vote by acclamation on the fully amended motion: in favor: unanimous.
Opposed: none. Motion carried.

camping nuisances, to a second reading. Deputy City Manager Lamb went through the PowerPoint
explaining the amendments and noting that they address junk vehicles,vehicle parking and storage,RV and
tent camping,but that multifamily will not be included as it is a development code issue and by law,must
go through the Planning Commission process, which staff has started. After discussion about the
amendments, it was determined to make the following changes for the second reading: the exception to
junk vehicle, i.e. exception for one sight-screened junk vehicle, should also apply to unlicensed vehicle;
vehicle parking and storage on private property to limit no more than five parked or stored operable
vehicles,plus one RV plus one boat on a licensed trailer, and to keep the exception for the number where
the owner/tenant can demonstrate more than five licensed drivers residing at the property. All

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
9. Code Text Amendment 001, Community Services Regulations — Lori Barlow, Eric Robison, Mike
Basinger
Senior Planner Barlow went through the PowerPoint explaining the proposed community services
regulations amendments as well as reference to House Bill 1220, which resulted in our adopted interim
regulations,which expire July 19,2022.Mr.Robison stated that since the Planning Commission,there have
been some other suggested amendments,which are not in the packet; that the first is to authorize the City
Manager to authorize temporary emergency shelter spaces in response to emergencies such as a cooling or
warming center in response to such things as a fire,tornado or other event where people's health and safety
are at risk, the City Manager could authorize temporary emergency shelters, which emergency would be
good for 30 days but could be renewed; that these would not be on-going regular shelters, but for an
immediate event; he also noted they are working to find potential operators for such emergency cooling
and warming centers; he added that last year in the Spokane area, 168 people in the County passed away
outside during severe inclement weather conditions so it was felt there is a need for short-term emergency
shelters.The second proposed change,Mr.Robison explained deals with spacing requirements;the original
code shows one mile between any uses,the Planning Commission recommends one-half mile between any
uses, and Family Promise indicated they would like to have a community site that would classify as
transitional housing,not a shelter,in the Broadway Elementary neighborhood as they serve a lot of families
in that area and they would like the families to be close to the school. He noted NAOMI,another transitional
housing provider just down the street and that a representative from NAOMI indicated they would like to
be in this neighborhood but the regulations state they would have to be one-mile away.Mr. Robison noted
there are problems with the spacing requirements as one doesn't always know where the transitional houses
are and that they do not require any permitting,and he noted that transitional housing is very different from
an emergency shelter as transitional housing often times includes families with children.
There was lengthy Council discussion on the various suggested changes for when the proposed changes
come before Council as a first ordinance reading. Concerning the emergency power of the City Manager,
it was ultimately decided to go with City Attorney Driskell's suggestion after the thirty day period of
emergency,that an extension be handled by a resolution to be approved by Council, declaring emergency
conditions,and that the emergency resolution would state that as soon as the conditions are over,that would
result in an end of the emergency and staff would bring Council another resolution declaring that the
emergency has ended. Concerning spacing between transitional housing, which is more of a family
neighborhood issue, it was determined to remove the spacing requirement.
For the issue of transitional housing and parking regulations, in additional to the Planning Commission
proposed criteria,Mr. Robison explained that the idea is to have a place where they are allowed and we can
direct people there so they won't have to keep moving;that doing so gives us ability to contact them to work
to get them into housing; that most models require background checks and to park there the establishment
would have to apply and get approved; on-site services would be ideal; and ideally we would have a
situation which would include on-site case management. Ms. Barlow added that as drafted,this would be
for example, if a church were to propose to provide transitional parking, part of the review would be us
looking at their parking requirements,so should this be proposed at any location where they have a required
parking amount, they would not be able to `under park' themselves in order to provide this service; and
every requirement for the other uses, whether it is emergency shelter or emergency housing, all of those
same requirements apply to the transitional parking and they would have to go through the same process
with the operations plan for review,and would have the same limits on the number of people.Ms.Barlow
added that you couldn't get more than 20 adults in a non-residential zone, and as written,up to ten adults
in residential zones,which is likely where most of our churches are located. Mr. Basinger stated that with
the program that staff will be bringing forward,there will be steps to get into permanent housing; he feels
our limitations are reasonable,the separations with the shelters would prevent anything like what is going
on downtown, and with our transitional parking, you would never see anything like Camp Hope, that we
would only allow 20 people and there are rules and regulations;and that is something that a service provider
or a church would want to provide;he added that all the models staff has seen were churches;that churches
Council Meeting Minutes, Special:06-14-2022 Page 5 of 6

DRAFT
can do what they want; but we want to have regulations in place; and that the goal is not just permanent
housing, but how to get people into employment; and if these rules and regulations are not functioning as
we would have hoped, we can always go back and make revisions. Ms. Barlow stated that the provider
would have to provide a plan for waste management; that does not mean an RV must have a hook-up; and
that staff would review the plan for approval. Mr. Hohman also clarified that these would not be city-
initiated or owned facilities; they would be a service provider, or non-profit and they would make the
proposals and come in for a permit.
At 7 :00 p.m., it was moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins, seconded and unanimously agreed to extend the
meeting for fifteen minutes. Mr. Robison further explained that the original uses in this code include
emergency shelters, which is similar to a traditional shelter, up to only 20 people in certain zones, which
would likely run year-around; and this additional amendment, in the event of an emergency like
heating/cooling,for those; said he has been having conversations with Spokane Valley Partners who might
use their basement for families and single women,and that the Dream Center who would either be a church
with a lot of open space, they would use their space for men or couples; so once there is no longer an
emergency,they would go back to whatever their regular operations were. To recap,Mr. Hohman said on
the 30 days we would have the draft language referred to by Mr. Driskell; that transitional housing would
be removed from the spacing requirement,which leaves the question of spacing between uses and whether
to use the Planning Commission's suggested half-mile, or a mile. Council confirmed they would like the
mile between uses. Council confirmed there were no issues on the transitional parking.
10.Advance Agenda—Mayor Haley
There were no suggested changes to the Advance Agenda.
CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
City Manager Hohman said that Spokane Indians President Chris Duff would like to present some
additional information and talk about the specifics of the project, and he mentioned the idea of holding a
special meeting either here at Council Chambers or at the stadium. Councilmembers were in agreement to
hold such a special meeting at the Stadium.Mr.Hohman said it would likely be held later afternoon or early
evening on a non-game day.Mr.Hohman noted the letter distributed to Council concerning a request for a
support letter for STA's(Spokane Transit Authority)Argonne Station Park&Ride Project,to urge WSDOT
to fund the construction of that project. There were no objections to Mayor Haley signing and sending the
letter. Mr.Hohman also noted there have been some changes in our code enforcement officers and our new
code enforcement officers are Mr.Chris Johnston,former community resource officer,and Mr.Tim Wirun,
a former Geiger Correction Officer. And lastly, Mr. Hohman reminded everyone that next Monday City
Hall will be closed in recognition of the new holiday,Juneteenth,and that the June 21 Council meeting has
been cancelled as Councilmembers attend the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) Conference in
Vancouver,Washington.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins, seconded, and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting

operable vehicles, plus one recreational vehicle, plus one vessel (boat) on a licensed trailer.

living at the property.
-Allow 30 days for temporary permit for use of an RV.
-Allow short-term tent camping (no more than 48 hours) up to four times per year.
Staff have incorporated the changes from the first reading into the proposed amendments for City Council
consideration.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A,RCW 35.21, SVMC 17.80 and 19.30.040
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Administrative Report—June 14,2022.
BACKGROUND: CTA-2022-0001 is a City-initiated code text amendment to adopt permanent
regulations to address transitional housing,permanent supportive housing,emergency housing,emergency
shelters and transitional parking. The proposed regulations formalize the zones where such uses are
allowed, identify permit processing procedures to include application contents, reasonable occupancy,
spacing, and intensity limits, approval criteria,and associated definitions.
In 2021, the Washington State Legislature adopted Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1220 (HB
1220)regarding affordable housing and homelessness. Due to the pre-emption established in HB 1220,the
City adopted Ordinance No. 21-009 on July 20, 2021 establishing interim regulations to set reasonable
occupancy, spacing and intensity of use regulations to regulate emergency housing, emergency shelters,
transitional housing,and permanent supportive housing. The ordinance became effective immediately for
a period of 365 days unless it were repealed, extended or modified. Ordinance 21-009 will expire on July
19,2022.
The City developed permanent regulations to address these uses and presented them to the Planning
Commission(Commission)at a study session on April 28,2022. On May 12,the Commission conducted a
public hearing and deliberations. At that meeting the Commission voted 5-0 (two Commissioners were
absent) to recommend to the City Council that CTA-2022-0001 be approved with several modifications.
On May 26, 2022 the Commission adopted Findings and Recommendation. On June 14, 2022, Council
considered the Planning Commission recommended draft and by consensus agreed to move CTA-2022-
0001 to a first reading of the ordinance with the following changes:
1. Remove transitional housing from the spacing requirement;
2. Change the spacing requirement for all other uses from 1/2 mile up to 1 mile;and
3. Authorize the City Manager to approve emergency shelters for up to 30 days when
public health and safety conditions exist with an extension allowed by Council
Resolution.
OPTIONS: Move to advance Ordinance No. 22-011 to a second reading with or without further
amendments; or waive the rules and adopt the ordinance; or take other action deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to waive the rules and adopt ordinance 22-011.

shelters, and other surrounding existing uses.
NOW,THEREFORE,the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley ordains as follows:
Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Ordinance is to establish reasonable occupancy,

and development regulations that are consistent with and implement the

continuity of care for community members that are unsheltered and unstably housed in
the Valley and throughout our region.

minimizing the impacts of more dense housing typologies such as duplexes and cottage

site support to maintain the character of neighborhoods and minimize public service
calls.

transportation,job opportunities and housing.

1220 authorizes the City to establish reasonable occupancy, spacing, and
intensity regulations for the mandated uses. The City is committed to
encouraging and supporting new providers or programs which assist the
City's unsheltered population and others experiencing housing instability.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION
CTA-2022-0001 Proposed Amendment to Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC)
Pursuant to SVMC 17.80.150(E) the Planning Commission shall consider the proposal and shall prepare
and forward a recommendation to the City Council following the public hearing. The following findings
are consistent with the Planning Commission recommendation.
Background:
1. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.130, Spokane Valley adopted its 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update and
updated development regulations on December 13,2016,with December 28,2016 as the effective date.
2. The Washington State Legislature passed Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1220(HB 1220)in
2021 which became fully effective on September 30, 2021. HB 1220 adopted amendments to the
Growth management Act and other associate statutes related to affordable housing and homelessness.
Amongst other requirements, HB 1220 preempts municipalities from prohibiting transitional housing
and permanent supportive housing from residential zones and zones where hotels are permitted. HB
1220 also preempts municipalities from prohibiting indoor emergency shelters and indoor emergency
housing in zones where hotels are permitted. HB 1220 allows municipalities to adopt reasonable
occupancy, spacing, and intensity of use requirements to protect public health and safety on indoor
emergency shelters, indoor emergency housing, transitional housing, and permanent supportive
housing, so long as such ordinances do not prevent siting sufficient housing for projected needs.
3. The City Council adopted Ordinance 21-009 on July 20, 2021, to establish emergency interim
regulations to ensure that healthy, safe, and well-planned emergency shelters, emergency housing,
transitional housing and permanent supportive housing with reasonable occupancy, spacing, and
intensity of use standards in the zones required by HB 1220. Ordinance 21-009 was passed as an
emergency ordinance that was to be effective for 365 days. The Ordinance will expire on July 19,
2022.
4. CTA-2022-0001 is a City-initiated text amendment to establish Chapter 19.45 of the Spokane Valley
Municipal Code (SVMC)to regulate Community Services,including Emergency Shelters,Emergency
Housing, Transitional Housing, Permanent Supportive Housing and Transitional Parking and other
related housekeeping items that include modifying SVMC 17.80.030,chapters 19.60 and 19.65 SVMC,
and Appendix A to include references to the community services uses.
5. The Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing and conducted deliberations on May
12,2022. The Commissioners voted 5-0 to recommend that the City Council adopt the amendment.
Planning Commission Findings:
1. Compliance with SVMC 17.80.150(F)Approval Criteria
a. The proposed text amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Findings: The proposed amendment is supported by the Comprehensive Plan and is consistent
with the following goals and policies:
H-G4 Work collaboratively with local stakeholders to develop a Homeless Response System
specific to the needs of the Valley
Findings and Recommendations of the Spokane Valley Planning Commission CTA-2022-0001 Page 1 of 3
H-G5 Work closely with and support the Regional Homeless System to ensure continuity of
care for community members that are unsheltered and unstably housed in the Valley and
throughout our region.
H-P6 Preserve and enhance the city's established single-family neighborhoods by minimizing
the impacts of more dense housing typologies such as duplexes and cottage development
H-P7 Work with service providers to bring additional resources to Valley residents.
H-P8 Ensure the provision of homeless and housing services have commensurate on-site support
to maintain the character of neighborhoods and minimize public service calls.
H-P1 0 Ensure equal access for Valley residents to publicly funded programs,transportation,job
opportunities and housing.
H-P12 Support the implementation of the Continuum of Care Five-Year Strategic Plan to End
Homelessness.
H-P15 Encourage and support new projects and programs which seek to assist in maintaining
housing stability or provide exits from homelessness to housing.
H-P16 Analyze and collect data through our local Community Management Information
System and use this data to help drive homeless and housing policy.
H-P17 Continue to support and participate in the Coordinated Entry implementation
Conclusion:
The proposed text amendment is supported by the Comprehensive Plan and consistent with
the goals and policies.
b. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to public health, safety,welfare and
protection of the environment.
Findings: The proposed amendment bears substantial relation to public health, safety,
welfare,and protection of the environment. The City is preempted by HB 1220 from
prohibiting emergency shelters,emergency housing,transitional housing and permanent
supportive housing in various zones described in the bill. The City recognizes the need to
provide safe and stable parking areas for persons taking residence in their vehicles.HB 1220
authorizes the City to establish reasonable occupancy,spacing,and intensity regulations for
the mandated uses. The City is committed to encouraging and supporting new providers or
programs which assist the City's unsheltered population_and others experiencing housing
instability. These regulations prevent the unsafe,overconcentrated,or otherwise unhealthy
siting of these uses in an attempt to respond to the challenges of homelessness in an effective
and responsible manner.
Conclusion:
The proposed text amendment is consistent with Comprehensive Plan and bears a substantial
relation to public health, safety,welfare, and protection of the environment.

IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
a. Study Session: CTA-2022-0001 —Community Services Interim Regulations
Governing Transitional & Emergency Housing
04-14-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 4
Senior Planner Lori Barlow stated that staff is going to bring proposed permanent regulations
governing transitional and emergency housing at the next Planning Commission meeting.
The current presentation is to outline the interim regulations that are already in place based
on House Bill (HB) 1220 that was passed by State Legislation in 2021. HB 1220 requires that
Washington cities plan for affordable housing in their next Comprehensive Plan update. It
also states that the City cannot prohibit transitional housing and permanent supportive
housing in any zones where residential dwellings or hotels are allowed and cannot prohibit
emergency housing and emergency shelters in any zone where hotels are allowed. HB 1220
does allow cities to adopt reasonable occupancy, intensity of use, and spacing standards to
promote public health and safety but cities must allow enough transitional or emergency
housing to meet current and projected needs.
Ms. Barlow explained that the City regulations prior to July 20, 2021 allowed transitional
housing only in the Multi-Family (MFR) zone through a conditional use permit process.
This regulation is in direct conflict with HB 1220. Therefore,the City adopted Ordinance 21-
009 regarding interim regulations that were to remain in effect for one year until permanent
regulations are adopted.
Ms. Barlow stated that the interim regulations established Chapter 19.45 "Community
Services As Interim Regulations." It outlined definitions for the four types of required
housing: Emergency Housing, Emergency Shelter, Permanent Supportive Housing and
Transitional Housing. It also updated the "Permitted Use Matrix" in the code to provide for
uses in zones required by HB 1220.
Ms. Barlow explained that based on the interim regulations, any application received for one
of the four housing types would require a Type II permit that would be administratively
approved with conditions based on specific criteria. The criteria includes that there will be
no kids unless the facility is specifically licensed for children, or the child is with their
parent/guardian and the facility must comply with record keeping in the Community
Management Information System (CMIS) and Coordinated Entry. The contents of the
application must include the qualifications of operators and a detailed operations plan that
outlines information regarding staff, security, code of conduct, outreach with neighbors,
record keeping, coordination plan with street outreach teams regarding bed availability,
onsite supervision, and inside functions. The regulations also limit that occupancy to twenty
individuals in the non-residential zones and eight per dwelling unit in the residential zones.
There are also requirements stating that there is a minimum of one mile spacing between
facilities and the City can implement conditions to minimize nuisance impacts and adverse
operations characteristics.
Ms. Barlow mentioned that the City adopted a Housing Action Plan (HAP) in 2021 and it
identified a need for 6,660 new dwelling units needed by 2037. It also identified that of
those new dwelling units, 2,900 units are needed for households under 100% of the Area
Median Income (AMI). The HAP was designed to implement strategies to increase housing
supply for all income segments. The City also adopted a Comprehensive Plan Amendment
(CPA-2021-0004) that formalized the City's commitment to a regional approach in reducing
homelessness and provided guidance on zoning regulations for homeless services.
Ms. Barlow said the proposed permanent regulations will be presented to the Planning
Commission for review and recommendation at the next meeting.
Commissioner Miller asked what the current and projected demands are for this type of
housing. Homeless and Housing Coordinator Eric Robison answered that there are currently
100-120 unsheltered people in the City at any given time. Also, based on numbers received
04-14-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 4
from the school districts in the area that one in every thirty-seven students are without a
permanent home. Currently, the City helps fund homeless services throughout the County
but does not have any services directly located in Spokane Valley.
Commissioner Miller asked the percentage of people who would use the services if they were
provided. Mr. Robison answered that there are no clear percentages of people who would
use the services but there is a need for immediate services such as detoxification centers,
transitional services such as clean and sober housing, and long-term solutions such as
affordable housing options.
Commissioner Beaulac asked about the notification process to adjacent property owners.
Ms. Barlow answered that based on the current interim regulations, the City is required to
notify property owners immediately adjacent to the proposed site.
Commissioner Beaulac asked if the notification is sent to the property owner or the tenants of
a multi-family location. Ms. Barlow answered that the regulations state the notice be sent to
the property owner. Mr. Beaulac mentioned that the tenants should be aware of the proposals
when they are received. Planning Manager Chaz Bates commented that there is a proposed
outreach program that will be outlined in the permanent regulations that will be discussed at
the next meeting.
Commissioner Granrath asked how many of the different types of housing exist in the City
limits currently. Mr. Robison answered that the City does not have any emergency shelters,
emergency housing, or permanent supportive housing. There are a few transitional housing
locations.
Commissioner Granrath asked who will be overseeing the facilities for on-going compliance
with the City issued criteria. Ms. Barlow answered that the facilities will be granted a"Type
2" permit which has a set of rules that must be followed. If the facilities are not following
the outlined compliance rules, residents can file a complaint and the City will go through the
process to bring the facility back into compliance. Commissioner Delucchi mentioned that
these types of facilities must apply for a state license through the Department of Health and
Social Services, and they will have to comply with regulations for those licenses as well.
Ms. Barlow commented that if these entities are receiving public funds, there would be
reporting requirements for those monies received.
Commissioner Haneke commented that he would feel better about the issuance of these types
of permits if they are monitored by additional authorities for compliance so it is known that
they maintaining all of the conditions of approval in the future. City Attorney Cary Driskell
responded that the City does not actively monitor all issued permits for compliance because
the City just doesn't have enough staff to facilitate that type of project. However, when a
complaint is received, the City will work with the facility to address the reported items and
confirm that all other criteria is being met. Commissioner Haneke commented that he would
like to make sure that there is some sort of reporting being done by each facility that the City
can monitor. Commission Robinson commented that if the facility is receiving public funds,
they will have to be tracked, regulated and licensed. She feels that the City only has the
authority to monitor code items such as structural, correct use, and responding to neighbors
as requested.
Commissioner Delucchi asked if the Housing Needs Assessment/HAP is going to be
updated. Mr. Bates answered that an update will be done and adopted during the periodic
update in 2026.
04-14-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 4
Commissioner Beaulac asked if the City will know how many beds are available at any given
time. Mr. Robison answered that one of the conditions of approval is reporting into the
CMIS database. That program would provide information regarding bed availability.
Commissioner Robinson asked if the database provides information on what types of beds
are available (female, male, kids allowed, etc.). Mr. Robison answered that the database only
includes shelters that are "low barrier," and they report by location which should give detail
on what types of recipients they can house.
Commissioner Granath asked if the City has received any applications for the housing types
outlined. Ms. Barlow answered that they City has not formally received any applications but
there have been a few conversations with some entities that are interested in serving Spokane
Valley.
Commissioner Miller asked for regulation detail on the one mile spacing. Mr. Robison
answered that the current regulations state one housing shelter type per mile.
X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Commissioner Robinson commented that she attends a local
church and they have been significantly affected by the homelessness problem. The church
has had to take steps to protect their property including changing their landscaping, posting
"no trespassing/no camping" signs, and putting in security measures. She is happy that the
City is taking steps to address the problem. She also mentioned that there was a fire at a
local housing complex which caused several families to be displaced from their homes and
there wasn't anything available in Spokane Valley to accommodate the people affected.
XL ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Beaulac moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:34 p.m. The
vote on the motion was six in favor, zero against, and the motion passed.

VIII. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
04-28-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 5
a. Study Session: CTA-2022-0001 —Community Services Regulations
Senior Planner Lori Barlow presented proposed permanent regulations governing transitional
and emergency housing. She explained that the regulations were prompted by the adoption of
House Bill (HB) 1220 that was passed by State Legislation in 2021. HB 1220 requires that
Washington cities plan for affordable housing in their next Comprehensive Plan update. It
also states that the City cannot prohibit transitional housing and permanent supportive
housing in any zones where residential dwellings or hotels are allowed and cannot prohibit
emergency housing and emergency shelters in any zone where hotels are allowed. HB 1220
does allow cities to adopt reasonable occupancy, intensity of use, and spacing standards to
promote public health and safety but cities must allow enough transitional or emergency
housing to meet current and projected needs.
Ms. Barlow explained that the City regulations prior to July 20, 2021 allowed transitional
housing only in the Multi-Family (MFR) zone through a conditional use permit process.
This regulation is in direct conflict with HB 1220. Therefore, the City adopted Ordinance 21-
009 regarding interim regulations that were to remain in effect for one year until permanent
regulations are adopted.
Ms. Barlow stated that staff was presenting draft permanent regulations that would replace
the previous interim regulations (that will be entirely removed from the code upon
expiration). The draft regulations will establish Chapter 19.45 "Community Services." It
will establish definitions for the following: Emergency Housing, Emergency Shelter,
Permanent Supportive Housing, Transitional Housing and Transitional Parking. It will also
add uses to the Permit Type and Land Use Application Table, it will modify the "Permitted
Use Matrix" in the code to provide for uses in zones required by HB 1220, and it will identify
uses that are subject to Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) supplemental use
regulations. She mentioned that"Transitional Parking"was not included in the interim
regulations.
Ms. Barlow explained the definitions as outlined in the draft code and gave detail on the
definitions that were modified and/or deleted from the interim regulations. She also
explained the changes to Table 17.80-1 regarding Permit Procedures and the Permitted Use
Matrix. She explained that the newly added items are all "Type 2"permits which are
approved administratively by staff. Staff can approve, approve with conditions, or deny the
applications based on the application meeting the outlined criteria of the code. The permit
procedure also outlines the notification process. A "Type 2"permit requires a notice of
application with a comment period and a notice of decision must be issued by the City.
Ms. Barlow outlined detail regarding the application requirements and standards. When an
application is received it must include the following: identification of sponsors/agencies and
their experience, an operations plan, an access to services map, an interior space plan, and a
parking plan. The operations plan must detail staff contacts, a site management plan, a site
maintenance plan, occupancy policies and code of conduct, an outreach plan, record keeping
and confidentiality, and a coordination plan with street outreach teams to ensure space
availability. If the facility is proposing a transitional parking program,they would also have
to provide a site plan showing where parking will occur, a restroom and handwashing
stations, and details regarding overnight/day use.
Ms. Barlow explained the standards and requirements that each application will have to meet.
The facility must meet all local development, zoning and building codes, occupancy is
limited to twenty adults in the non-residential zones and ten adults per dwelling unit in the
residential zones,the facility must comply with Spokane County Health requirements,the
04-28-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 5
facility must have adequate trash receptables, the parking must be approved by the City, there
must be onsite supervision, children are not allowed without a parent/guardian, and 24-hour
points of contact are required. There are also requirements stating that there is a minimum of
one mile spacing between facilities. The transitional parking program requirements include
onsite access to restroom and handwashing stations, parking for organizations must be
maintained and recreational vehicles are prohibited.
Ms. Barlow stated that the public hearing for the proposed permanent regulations will be held
at the next Planning Commission meeting for review and recommendation.
Commission Delucchi asked if there is a definition for recreational vehicle (RV) and asked
why living in an RV is prohibited. Ms. Barlow answered that there is a definition for
recreational vehicle in the code. Homeless and Housing Coordinator Eric Robison answered
that prohibiting recreational vehicles was determined by reviewing other communities
parking projects. In those communities it was found that it was very hard to keep track of the
individuals living in RV's and enforcing safety protocols. It was also found that the people
living in RV's are less interested in moving into permanent housing than those living in
vehicles. The proposed transitional parking intent is to allow a temporary housing solution
and an RV could be used for long-term housing.
Commissioner Delucchi asked about exterior lighting being excluded from transitional
parking. Ms. Barlow answered that it was removed from the code because the lighting
requirement was more geared towards planned encampments, but she stated that
requirements for lighting could be added if the Planning Commission wanted.
Commissioner Haneke asked if it would be possible to allow RV's but limit the time that
they are allowed to park. Mr. Robison answered that time limits were discussed but there are
situations where a person could be waiting for a significant amount of time to get into
permanent housing and that could cause problems in these transitional parking areas. Mr.
Haneke expressed that if people are allowed to live in their vehicles while waiting for a
permanent home, an RV isn't much different.
Commissioner Miller asked how the transitional parking would be monitored. Ms. Barlow
answered that the parking areas would have to comply with all the rules and requirements
just like the other housing solution types.
Commissioner Beaulac asked about putting the housing types in the "industrial" zones. He
expressed concern that these facilities would not be a good fit in these areas. Ms. Barlow
answered that according to HB 1220, these types of facilities must be allowed in any zone
where hotels are allowed and hotels are allowed by the code in the industrial zone.
Commissioner Beaulac asked if these facilities will be required to report using the
Community Management Information System (CMIS) and Coordinated Entry Program. Ms.
Barlow responded that the new regulations state that all entities must report regardless of
whether they are private or publicly funded.
Commissioner Delucchi asked about people living in semi-trucks being allowed in
transitional parking. Ms. Barlow answered that semi-trucks were not specifically considered
but the regulations have a limit of 20 adults in non-residential zones and 10 adults in
residential zones. Staff feels that the monitors of these sites will probably restrict semi-
trucks to allow for the maximum adults to park in the space.
Commissioner Miller asked about the one mile spacing of facilities. Ms. Barlow clarified
that only type of facility can be built within a mile of another. According to the proposed
04-28-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 5
language, the different housing types cannot be combined into one facility. Each type of
housing must be at least one mile apart.
Commissioner Miller expressed that she would like something in the code regarding
overbuilding of these types of facilities. She stated that she doesn't think a new one should
be allowed if the current ones aren't running close to capacity. Mr. Robison responded that
these facilities are expensive to build and typically if two facilities are being built in a similar
location, they are generally serving a different population or providing different services.
Commissioner Haneke answered about the notification process to the adjacent property
owners. Ms. Barlow answered that according to Type 2 permitting regulations, a notice of
application and a notice of decision is sent to the adjacent property owners. Commissioner
Haneke asked if the notification is just adjacent properties or all properties within 400 feet of
the proposed location. Ms. Barlow answered that the notice is only sent to the immediately
adjacent properties. Commissioner Haneke expressed that he would like to see additional
notices sent to residents.
Commissioner Granrath asked about the determination of"experience" that is specified as a
requirement. Mr. Robison answered that running a shelter is very difficult and the City
wants to make sure that the applicant or their designees have some sort of knowledge and
experience in this area.
Commissioner Granrath asked if the City will impose conditions regarding fencing,
landscaping, etc. to help mitigate the impact on surrounding areas. Ms. Barlow answered
that the proposed language in 19.45.060 regarding "Waivers and Decisions" states that the
City can impose conditions to minimize nuisance-generating features and mitigate potentially
adverse operational characteristics. It also states that if adequate mitigation is not possible,
the City can deny the application.
Commissioner Robinson asked if there is a plan to get information out to the public regarding
this new regulation. Ms. Barlow answered that the City is following the procedural process
of publishing the public hearing notice, notifying stakeholders/agencies/providers and
holding the public meetings. Mr. Robison responded that there has been some
communication with the community about the City's plan for addressing homelessness and
he hopes to increase that communication in the future. Commissioner Robinson commented
that she would like to see more notification to the public and the Parks Department of the
decisions being contemplated or made to get more community "buy in".
A brief recess was called at 7:25 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 7:35 p.m.
Commissioner Delucchi asked if the City has an issue with RV's being parked on the street.
Mr. Robison answered that RV's being parked on the street and people living in RV's is a
challenge for the City and Law Enforcement. City Attorney Driskell responded that the code
does have restrictions in the code regarding camping in the right-of-way and the City Council
will be reviewing stricter guidelines regarding parking on the street and junk vehicles for
possible adoption. Ms. Delucchi commented that she would like to see the City reconsider
prohibiting RV's.
Commissioner Haneke asked if the Planning Commission could give suggested changes to
staff to make to the proposed language to be brought back to the next meeting. Ms. Barlow
answered that the public hearing has already been advertised and any changes to the
proposed draft language will have to be made via motion during the public hearing.
A public hearing will be held on this matter at the May 12, 2022 meeting.

IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
a. Public Hearing: CTA-2022-0001 —Community Services Regulations
The Public Hearing was opened at 6:09 p.m.
Senior Planner Lori Barlow presented proposed permanent regulations governing transitional
and emergency housing. She explained that the regulations were prompted by the adoption of
House Bill (HB) 1220 that was passed by State Legislation in 2021. HB 1220 requires that
Washington cities plan for affordable housing in their next Comprehensive Plan update. It
also states that the City cannot prohibit transitional housing and permanent supportive
housing in any zones where residential dwellings and hotels are allowed and cannot prohibit
emergency housing and emergency shelters in any zone where hotels are allowed. HB 1220
does allow cities to adopt reasonable occupancy, intensity of use, and spacing standards to
promote public health and safety but cities must allow enough transitional or emergency
housing to meet current and projected needs.
Ms. Barlow explained that the City regulations prior to July 20, 2021 allowed transitional
housing only in the multi-family (MFR) zone through a conditional use permit process. This
regulation is in direct conflict with HB1220. Therefore,the City adopted Ordinance 21-009
regarding interim regulations that were to remain in effect for one year until permanent
regulations are adopted.
Ms. Barlow presented draft permanent regulations to replace the previous interim regulations
(that will be entirely removed from the code upon expiration). The draft regulations will
establish Chapter 19.45 "Community Services." It will establish definitions for the
following: Emergency Housing, Emergency Shelter, Permanent Supportive Housing,
Transitional Housing and Transitional Parking. It will add uses to the Permit Type and Land
Use Application Table, it will modify the "Permitted Use Matrix" in the code to provide for
uses in zones required by HB1220, and it will identify uses that are subject to Spokane
Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) supplemental use regulations. She mentioned that
"Transitional Parking"was not included in the interim regulations but has been added in the
draft permanent regulations.
Ms. Barlow explained the definitions as outlined in the draft code and gave detail on the
definitions that were modified and/or deleted from the interim regulations. She explained the
changes to Table 17.80-1 regarding Permit Procedures and the Permitted Use Matrix. She
also explained the addition of Chapter 19.65.035 regarding Community Services-
Supplemental Use Regulations.
Ms. Barlow stated that Chapter 19.45 outlined the purpose of the chapter and the
applicability (which applies to all five uses). It stipulated that the permit type is a Type II
permit that is administratively approved and notice is required. It stated application
requirements and standards plus requirements for data entry into regional Homeless
Management Information System(HMIS). It stated that the City can approve, approve with
conditions, and deny permits. It also stated that the City can impose conditions to address
nuisance and adverse operational impacts.
Ms. Barlow described the details regarding the application contents. When an application is
received it must include the following: identification of sponsors/agencies and their
experience, an operations plan, an access to services map, an interior space plan, and a
parking plan. The operations plan must detail staff contacts, a site management plan, a site
05-12-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 6
maintenance plan, occupancy policies and code of conduct, an outreach plan, record keeping
and confidentiality, and a coordination plan with street outreach teams to ensure space
availability. If the facility is proposing a transitional parking program, they would also have
to provide a site plan showing where parking will occur, a restroom and handwashing
stations, and details regarding overnight/day use.
Ms. Barlow explained the standards and requirements that each application will have to meet
to be approved. The facility must meet all local development, zoning and building codes,
occupancy is limited to twenty adults in the non-residential zones and ten adults per dwelling
unit in the residential zones, the facility must comply with Spokane County Health
requirements, the facility must have adequate trash receptables, the parking must be approved
by the City,there must be onsite supervision, children are not allowed without a
parent/guardian, and 24-hour points of contact are required. There are also requirements that
state there is a minimum of one mile spacing between facilities. The transitional parking
program requirements include onsite access to restroom and handwashing stations, parking
for organizations must be maintained and recreational vehicles are prohibited.
Commissioner Beaulac asked if a residential Homeowner's Association (HOA) can adopt
covenants or restrictions to prohibit the housing types. Mr. Driskell stated that state law
would supersede any HOA adoptions.
The matter was opened to public comment.
Joe Ader(Spokane resident representing Family Promise of Spokane) stated that he is in
favor of the regulations. He explained that Family Promise works with families dealing with
homelessness and they attempt to get those families into permanent housing. The City of
Spokane Valley had more than 700 homeless students during the school year. Family
Promise would be interested in providing a"neighborhood site" for transitional housing.
They currently have five of these locations throughout Spokane County and they are
extremely successful. He stated that the one-mile requirement would make establishing a
location that is located near schools that are referring a lot of students to their organization.
He fears that the restriction of one mile would make that very difficult. He requested that the
City allow for a variance or waiver process for potential locations that won't cause a negative
public impact.
Jennifer Wilcox (Spokane Valley resident) stated that she is an advocate for people
experiencing homelessness or difficulty accessing affordable housing. She said that she feels
that Spokane Valley should create their own plan and not solely rely on the surrounding areas
for homeless services. She stated that she is in favor in the adoption of the code text
amendment because the amendment is critically needed to ensure permanent regulations.
She feels that the amendment will improve public safety and preserve the City's culture and
growth management plan while improving the quality of life for life for the City's most
vulnerable residents.
There was no additional public comment offered. The public hearing was closed at 6:50 p.m.
Commissioner Delucchi asked if the regulations will apply to churches. Ms. Barlow
answered that if a church is establishing a facility that meets the definition of the code, it
would have to comply with the requirements. However, there are some special
circumstances regarding churches that will be taken into consideration at the time of
application.
05-12-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 6
Commissioner Delucchi relayed information from publications regarding transitional parking
lots. She stated that she would like recreational vehicles (RV's) to be allowed in the
transitional parking zone.
Commissioner Miller expressed concern of overbuilding of like facilities. She stated that she
would like to include a recommendation that a new facility cannot be built until other"like"
facilities are at maximum occupancy.
Commissioner Haneke asked about parking lot lighting. Ms. Barlow answered that there was
a requirement in the interim regulations regarding lighting, but it was removed in the draft
permanent regulations because the building code addresses lighting. Mr. Haneke stated that
he would like to re-add the requirement regarding lighting in parking lots of the facilities and
transitional parking lots so that the lots are extremely well lit and there are no areas that
aren't visible.
Commissioner Haneke asked if security cameras are required. Ms. Barlow answered that
security cameras are not included in the draft language. Mr. Haneke expressed he would like
to add language requiring security cameras.
Commissioner Haneke asked about the noticing process for surrounding neighbors. Ms.
Barlow answered that there are two noticing requirements built into the code as presented. 1)
The Type II permit requires notice to be sent to adjacent property owners. 2) In Chapter
19.45.030.2, an outreach requirement is included that states that notice must be sent to all
property owners and residents within 400 feet of the proposed site. Ms. Barlow clarified that
outreach is not required until after the application is approved.
Commissioner Haneke asked if it would be possible to send out notification to all properties
within a 400-foot radius at the time of application, even though it's not required by the Type
II permitted process. Senior Planner Bates responded that changing the noticing requirement
for one type of use could cause an"appearance of unfairness"to the specific use and cause
confusion within the code making it difficult to interpret.
Commissioner Haneke asked if the permit type could be changed to a Type III permit.
Attorney Driskell answered that changing to a Type III permit for these types of uses would
make the process inconsistent with State Law. The draft code as presented is consistent and
is outlined as required by State Law. He also explained that these types of permits don't fit
within the scope of the Type III permitting process. Mr. Haneke commented that he would
like to see more notification go out to surrounding residents prior to the approval process.
Commissioner Haneke asked about parking space requirements. Ms. Barlow answered that
applicants are required to provide a parking plan that addresses the parking needs of the use
based on the population served and projected needs. She explained that staff feels that the
providers will have knowledge of what the projected parking requirements will be for their
facility. The City will require a narrative from the providers of their proposed parking plan
that will be reviewed for adequacy. Mr. Haneke comment that he would like a minimum
parking requirement included in the code.
Commissioner Delucchi asked if it would be possible to change the one-mile limit to one
facility per elementary school district. Ms. Barlow responded that most elementary schools
are located within residential zones so making that change could affect the uses that are only
permitted in the non-residential zones. Commissioner Delucchi expressed that it might be
necessary to allow additional facilities within a one-mile radius to meet the need.
Chairman Robinson asked about a variance process. Ms. Barlow answered that the draft
code does not outline a variance process. Commissioner Beaulac stated that he thinks there
05-12-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 6
should be process for a variance or exemption that could be administratively approved or
denied. Ms. Barlow responded that putting in a staff exemption process would be difficult to
process because there's no criteria built into the code for staff to review if the exemption
should be granted. The decision would be completely discretionary.
Attorney Driskell suggested reducing the limit from one mile to one-half mile to allow for
more facilities in a particular location.
Commissioner Robinson commented that she thinks there needs to be at least enough parking
spaces for the staff on duty. Mr. Haneke said that there should also be a parking requirement
for residents. He suggested a minimum of ten spaces plus staff on duty for the facilities in
non-residential zones and four or five spaces plus staff on duty for the facilities in residential
zones.
The following items were discussed by the Planning Commission for inclusion in the draft
code recommendation.
Commissioner Robinson asked for a show of hands to allow recreational vehicles in the
transitional parking zone. The consensus was unanimously in favor.
Commissioner Robinson asked for a show of hands to require lighting and security cameras
in all parking areas. The consensus was unanimously in favor.
Commissioner Robinson asked for a show of hands to prohibit a second facility from being
built unless a like facility shows maximum occupancy. The consensus was one in favor and
four against.
Commissioner Robinson asked for a show of hands to add a minimum parking requirement
of ten spaces plus staff on duty for the facilities in non-residential zones and four or five
spaces plus staff on duty for the facilities in residential zones. The consensus was
unanimously in favor.
Commissioner Robinson asked for a show of hands to reduce the one-mile spacing
requirement to one half mile. The consensus was four in favor and one opposed.
Commissioner Beaulac moved to recommend approval of CTA-2022-0001 regarding
Community Services Regulations subject to the following modifications:
• Allow recreational vehicles in the Transitional Parking zone.
• Require lighting in all parking areas
• Require security cameras in all parking areas
• Require a minimum of f ve parking spaces,plus enough for all facility staff on duty in
the residential zones, and 10 parking spaces, plus enough for all facility staff on duty,
in the non-residential zones.
• Reduce the minimum distance between facilities from one mile to one half mile.
There was no discussion. The vote on the motion was five in favor, zero against and the
motion passed.
X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Commissioner Beaulac stated that he will not be at the next
Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Miller provided a copy of the Spokane
Valley Herald to each of the Commissioners and informed them that a subscription is $25.00
per year.

Adopt Amendment
Background:
In 2021, the Washington State Legislature adopted Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1220 (HB
1220) regarding affordable housing and homelessness. HB 1220 preempts the City from prohibiting
transitional housing and permanent supportive housing in any residential zones or zones where hotels are
permitted and preempts the City from prohibiting emergency housing and emergency shelters in zones
where hotels are permitted.HB 1220 does allow cities to adopt reasonable occupancy,spacing,and intensity
limits on such housing and shelters. HB 1220 provides definitions for permanent supportive housing,
emergency housing, and emergency shelters,but does not define "transitional housing."The provisions of
Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-2022-0001
HB 1220 affecting transitional housings and permanent supportive housing became effective on July 25,
2021, and the provisions affecting emergency housing and emergency shelters became effective on
September 30,2021.
.Due to the preemption established in HB 1220,absent additional City regulations on occupancy, spacing,
and intensity,all transitional housing and permanent supportive housing would be allowed in nearly all City
zones with no limits other than generally applicable building code requirements, and similarly all
emergency shelters and emergency housing would be allowed in the RC Regional Commercial (RC),MU
Mixed Use (MU), CMU Corridor Mixed Use (CMU), IMU Industrial Mixed Use (IMU), and I Industrial
(I)zones without any limits other than generally applicable building code requirements.
At that time, the City only regulated "transitional housing" and allowed it in the multifamily residential
zone through a conditional use permit The City recognized the potential for significant impacts from such
land uses to adjacent properties and the community since the City did not have any occupancy, spacing,or
intensity regulations for such uses except as noted.As a result the City adopted Ordinance#21-009 on July
20, 2021 which established temporary interim regulations to provide for reasonable occupancy, spacing,
and intensity limits on such uses until the City developed permanent regulations regarding such housing
and shelters. The interim regulations will expire on July 19,2022,unless other action is taken.
The City has initiated this code text amendment to provide reasonable occupancy, spacing, and intensity
limits on transitional,permanent supportive,and emergency housing,and emergency shelters.The City has
also introduced regulations to manage Transitional Parking programs in non-residential zones. The CTA
formalizes the zones where such uses are required to be allowed pursuant to HB 1220 and provides
definitions for each of the uses. The proposed regulations limit these housing types to serving 10 adults in
residential zones, and 20 adults in the RC, CMU, MU, IMU and I zones. A one-mile buffer is required
between all such uses. The regulations require compliance with the building codes, and additional
requirements related to homelessness services, such as requiring a code of conduct and information
submittal to the Homelessness Management Information System.
As required by HB 1220, the City must allow a sufficient number of facilities to provide for current and
projected needs. Staff currently estimates that there are approximately 100-120 unsheltered individuals
living in Spokane Valley in any given month.This estimate is based upon street outreach and direct contacts
made by the Spokane Valley Homeless and Housing Coordinator, SNAP outreach teams,and the Spokane
Valley Police Department and the recent Point-in-Time Count. The City does need to provide regulations
that allow transitional,permanent supportive,and emergency housing and emergency shelters.Through the
draft regulations, the City will allow providers to establish such facilities to address the current and
projected needs,while still addressing impacts from such facilities.
ANALYSIS:
On July 19,2022 the interim regulations will expire.At that time Title 19 SVMC Zoning will allow
transitional housing in the Multifamily Residential zone through a conditional use permit. Emergency
shelters,emergency housing,will be allowed in the RC,CMU,MU,IMU and I zones, and the transitional
housing and permanent supportive housing will be allowed in nearly all zones without any limits other
than generally applicable building code requirements.
The proposed amendment:
1. The proposed regulations identify the zones allowed and provide for reasonable occupancy,
spacing, and intensity limits on emergency shelters,emergency housing,transitional housing, and
permanent supportive housing consistent with HB 1220.
In the absence of regulations the city has determined that there is potential for significant impacts
from such uses. For example,the zoning code does not contain a limit on how many persons
Page 2 of 6
Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-2022-0001
could be served in a transitional housing facility regardless of what zone it is located. This could
result in a fifty-person transitional housing facility allowed to locate in a single family residential
zone with an 8 dwelling unit per acre density. While both are residential uses,the impacts from
the density,scale and size of the structure is evident and easily managed by limiting the number
of persons served to be compatible with the density of the zone. The proposed code text
amendment proposes to limit the number of persons to 10 adults,not including children under the
age of 18,to be served at transitional housing and permanent supportive housing located in
residential zones. This will ensure that the density of the development is compatible with the
density of the single-family residential zones. Emergency shelters,emergency housing,
transitional housing and permanent non-supportive housing in non-residential zones may serve up
to 20 adults,not including children under the age of 18. This provides opportunity for a larger
scale facility in a setting where higher densities are common for residential development.
2. The proposed regulations limit the population served to 20 adults in facilities located in
nonresidential zones, and 10 adults in those transitional housing or permanent supportive housing
facilities located in residential zones to ensure safe and manageable conditions.
Concerns associated with providing effective shelter for unsheltered persons are known to be
safety and site management.-A prevalent reason that unsheltered individuals and families refuse
or avoid shelters is the fear of large groups and concerns over safety.-Common concerns from
unsheltered persons are having possessions stolen and physical safety,exposure to health
conditions,or the prevalence of drugs or alcohol. Community concerns include impacts of
having large numbers of individuals aggregating,or coming and going from sites,increase in
unlawful activities in the area,property damage or affects to property values.Best practices have
shown that providers serving small populations are able to more effectively manage the facilities
to meet the needs of the population served as well as reduce impacts to adjacent and nearby
residents,property owners and/or businesses. The City's approach to limit the capacity at each
site recognizes both the concerns of those persons experiencing homelessness and the
community at large.
3. A one-mile buffer prevents the concentration of community services(or emergency shelters,
emergency housing,transitional housing and permanent non-supportive housing)to avoid
unintended impacts to property owners or businesses as well as ensures that services are provided
throughout the community in areas needed.
Individuals and families experiencing homelessness come from all areas of the community. It's
beneficial to provide services to individuals and families throughout the community to afford
them the opportunity to be close to their jobs,or close to their children's schools,etc.. Often
transportation barriers separate individuals from their network of family,friends,churches,and
other social support. Requiring the services and facilities to be separated by one mile ensures that
the sites are distributed throughout the community,provides accessible opportunities, and avoids
the concentration of the uses and potential indirect impacts to districts or neighborhoods.
4. The transitional parking regulations provide a safe place to park and connections to human and
social services for people who are using their vehicles as residences.
Due to a variety of reasons,that include rising rent,lack of available and affordable housing,the
pandemic etc.,more individuals and families have found themselves in temporary situations that
include living in their vehicles. The City has documented cases of persons who are living in their
vehicles while parked in the public right-of-way or on private property. The transitional parking
regulations create an opportunity for providers to offer a safe and stable place for persons to park
their vehicles where they have access to services that may include food and clothing,on-site
Page 3 of 6
Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-2022-0001
service providers who can link them to housing,employment, and medical services. In the
absence of a safe and stable location to park,the cycle of moving from location to location
continues. Transitional parking programs can connect vehicle residents with the services that can
lead to emergency housing or transitional housing.
5. The regulations implement the goals and policies of the Housing Element of the Comprehensive
Plan.
In 2021,the City adopted an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan's goals,policies and
strategies to guide the development of implementing regulations for the siting and/or provision of
homeless services(CPA-2021-0004).As part of the development of the Comprehensive Plan
amendment the City developed a Community Engagement Plan (CEP)designed to solicit input,
gather feedback, and increase awareness of housing needs and opportunities in the City. The CEP
included formal stakeholder interviews as well as a community wide survey.A total of 318
responses were received. Overall,the community was supportive of introducing services for
unsheltered and unstably housed persons,conveyed strong responses on limiting the size of
facilities,and agreed that community resources should be located in close proximity to public
transportation. The adoption of CPA-2021-0004 formalized the City's commitment and
participation in regional efforts to address homelessness and housing instability and provided
policy support that enables safe,equitable, and efficient provision of services throughout the City,
and provided guidance to the development of the interim and proposed regulations
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:
i. The proposed text amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan:
Staff Analysis: The proposed amendment is supported by the Comprehensive Plan
and is consistent with the following Comprehensive goals and policies:
H-G4 Work collaboratively with local stakeholders to develop a Homeless Response
System specific to the needs of the Valley
H-G5 Work closely with and support the Regional Homeless System to ensure
continuity of care for community members that are unsheltered and unstably housed in
the Valley and throughout our region.
H-P6 Preserve and enhance the city's established single-family neighborhoods by
minimizing the impacts of more dense housing typologies such as duplexes and cottage
development
H-P7 Work with service providers to bring additional resources to Valley residents.
H-P8 Ensure the provision of homeless and housing services have commensurate on-
site support to maintain the character of neighborhoods and minimize public service
calls.
Page 4 of 6
Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-2022-0001
H-P10 Ensure equal access for Valley residents to publicly funded programs,
transportation,job opportunities and housing.
H-P12 Support the implementation of the Continuum of Care Five-Year Strategic
Plan to End Homelessness.
H-P15 Encourage and support new projects and programs which seek to assist in
maintaining housing stability or provide exits from homelessness to housing.
H-P16 Analyze and collect data through our local Community Management
Information System and use this data to help drive homeless and housing policy.
H-P17 Continue to support and participate in the Coordinated Entry implementation.
Strategy: Develop regulations that provide for the safe, efficient, and equitable
provision of supportive housing services within the City.
ii. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to public health, safety,
welfare,and protection of the environment:
Staff Analysis: The proposed amendment bears substantial relation to public health,
safety,welfare, and protection of the environment. The City is preempted by HB
1220 from prohibiting emergency shelters,emergency housing,transitional housing
and permanent supportive housing in various zones described in the bill. The City
recognizes the need to provide safe and stable parking areas for persons taking
residence in their vehicles. HB 1220 authorizes the City to establish reasonable
occupancy, spacing, and intensity regulations for the mandated uses. The City is
committed to encouraging and supporting new providers or programs which assist the
City's unsheltered population. These regulations prevent the unsafe,
overconcentrated,or otherwise unhealthy siting of these uses in an attempt to respond
to the challenges of homelessness in an effective and responsible manner.
b. Conclusion(s):
The proposed text amendment is consistent with the approval criteria contained in the SVMC
17.80.150(F).
2. Finding and Conclusions Specific to Public Comments
a. Findings:
No public comments have been received to date.
b. Conclusion(s):
Adequate public noticing was conducted for CTA-2022-0001 pursuant to adopted public
noticing procedures.
3. Finding and Conclusions Specific to Agency Comments
a. Findings:
The City has not received any substantive agency comments to date.
b. Conclusion(s):
No concerns noted.
Page 5 of 6
Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-2022-0001
B. CONCLUSION
For the reasons set forth in Section A the proposed code text amendment to adopt regulations to
address emergency housing,transitional housing,permanent supportive housing and transitional
parking with reasonable occupancy, spacing, and intensity of use standards,identify the zones
where such uses are allowed, and other matters related,is consistent with the requirements of
SVMC 17.80.150(F)and the Comprehensive Plan.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: First reading of Ordinance 22-012—proposed new Appendix B to the SVMC
relating to Hearing Examiner procedures,and proposed SVMC changes related to the new Appendix B.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35A.63.170; SVMC Title 24;chapters 17.80, 17.90, 18.20, 18.40
SVMC, and SVMC Appendix B.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: September 22, 2009 adoption of current Appendix B
pursuant to Ordinance 09-023; amended in 2015 by Ordinance 15-026; in 2021 by Ordinance 21-019;
administrative report June 7,2022.
BACKGROUND: The City adopted its current Hearing Examiner (hereafter HEX) system in 2003,
adopting by reference the Spokane County HEX Rules of Procedure until 2009, at which point the City
adopted chapter 18.20 SVMC,with minor amendments in 2015 and 2021.
The current rules were drafted mostly to provide a hearing structure for permit applications that come before
the HEX,and do not work well for appeal hearings that are also within the jurisdiction of the HEX. These
two types of hearings are quite different, and there were many instances where procedural questions could
not be adequately answered by our Code. Sometimes the parties would agree on an approach to resolve the
issue,and in other circumstances it was left to the HEX.
Staff undertook a comprehensive effort to analyze our existing practices and processes, study how other
well-functioning jurisdictions approach such issues, and drafted code amendments and revised rules to
address the issues that were being encountered. The draft code amendments and revised rules being
discussed were reviewed by the City's Hearing Examiners.
Generally,the primary change in the Hearing Examiner Rules of Procedure is to split the rules to address
the two different types of hearings— 1)project permit review, such as subdivision approval,and 2) appeal
hearings for permit appeals and Code Enforcement appeals. Other changes include:
-identifying how and when staff reports are provided,when briefing is due,and who may speak during
appeal hearings(appeals are not opportunities for general public comment);
- clarifying in various places where it refers to how many days elapse for deadlines that it is calendar
days. This has created confusion in the past;
-clarifying HEX authority to take certain actions. Previously,some of these topics have been addressed
in the Code,or in the HEX rules,but not in both. This has created confusion in the past;
- cleaning up how things are drafted. As generally occurs when staff engages in an in-depth Code
review, we identified various provisions where use of more precise language would be helpful in
administering the Code for staff,and in understanding the Code for residents; and
- additional language was needed regarding how to address inappropriate contact by a party directly to
the HEX(ex parte contact).
Most importantly,these changes will make our HEX processes and related Code much easier to understand
for our residents, particularly when they are not represented by legal counsel when appearing before the
HEX.
OPTIONS: (1) Place on a future agenda for an ordinance second reading; or (2) take other action as
appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move we advance Ordinance 22-012 to a second reading.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS:None anticipated.
STAFF CONTACT: Cary Driskell, City Attorney.

Request for Council Action

❑information ®admin.report ❑pending legislation ❑executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative report — Proposed Amendment to SVMC 3.48.030 (Purchase
Orders).
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 3.48.030.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Chapter SVMC 3.48 was originally adopted in 2015 by
Ordinance 15-022;minor revisions in 2019.
BACKGROUND: At the time of original adoption, the threshold for expenditures requiring a purchase
order was$1,000. The amendment in 2019 did not alter that amount. Increasing the amount from $1,000
to $2,500 balances the time and resources required for approving the purchase of necessary goods,
equipment, and supplies,while still providing oversight and direction from department heads and the City
Manager in an amount consistent with the City's operations. Additionally, with inflation and increased
shipping costs, increasing the threshold from $1,000 to $2,500 is consistent with the intent when initially
adopted in 2015. Council also adopted Resolution 19-017 which authorized contracting with the Municipal
Research and Services Center of Washington (MRSC) to adopt for City use, those state-wide electronic
databases for the City of Spokane Valley's use for small public works contracts, consulting services, and
vendor services developed and maintained by MRSC through MRSC Rosters. These changes are also
reflected in the draft amendment.
OPTIONS: (1) Place on a future agenda for an ordinance first reading; or (2) take other action as
appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Consensus to place on a future agenda for a first reading.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS:None anticipated. Expenditures associated with purchase orders will
still follow the City's purchase and approval policies.
STAFF CONTACT: Tony Beattie, Senior Deputy City Attorney.
ATTACHMENTS: Proposed amendments to SVMC 3.48.030.

® information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Permit Processing Noticing Procedures
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapters 17.80 and 21.20 SVMC; Chapters 36.70A, 36.70B RCW;
43.21C, and Chapter 197-11 WAC
PREVIOUS ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of Comp Plan amendment via Ordinance 16-018, as part of
the periodic update in 2016.
BACKGROUND: Council has requested staff provide a report on the City's adopted noticing procedures
for land-use decisions. The City's notice requirements have been developed consistent with State permit-
processing requirements found in chapter 36.70B RCW.
The City's permit procedures are provided in chapter 17.80 SVMC. All land use and development
applications are categorized into one of four types. Each type has its own distinct review and noticing
procedures. As a rule, the review and noticing requirements broaden as the potential impact of the
application increases. The four types of applications identified in SVMC 17.80.020 are:
• Type I procedures apply to permits and decisions issued administratively(e.g.,by staff).
o Examples include boundary line adjustments,grading permits,accessory dwelling units,home
business permits.
• Type II procedures apply to permits and decision that are issued administratively (e.g., by staff) but
that contain some discretionary criteria.
o Examples include short plat/short subdivisions (creating less than 10 lots), binding site plan
(dividing commercial/industrial property or manufactured home park); substantial shoreline
development permit; SEPA(State Environmental Policy Act)threshold determinations.
• Type III procedures apply to permits and decisions that are issued through a quasi-judicial process
(e.g.,by the Hearing Examiner), and that contain discretionary approval criteria.
o Examples include subdivisions(creating 10 or more lots),conditional use permits,site specific
zoning map amendment.
• Type IV procedures apply to legislative matters that involve the creation, revision, or large-scale
implementation of public policy and which are subject to City Council approval.
o Examples include comprehensive plan amendments, development code text amendments,
area-wide rezones(creating new zoning district).
The remaining discussion in this document will discuss the notice requirements for Types I, II, and III.
Type IV permits generally do not relate to project-level approvals,and they are not included in the following
discussion.
There are three main noticing points for land use and development applications: Notice of Application,
Notice of Public Hearing, and Notice of Final Decision. The table below, summarizes which notice is
required for the different application types. A brief discussion of each notice follows the table.
Page 1 of 3
Notice Requirements
Application Type Notice of Application Notice of Public Hearing Notice of Final Decision
Type I No No Yes
Type II Yes No Yes
Type III Yes Yes Yes
Prior to discussing each notice type,it is important to point out that Type I permits require only a Notice of
Final Decision. Type I permits are permits issued administratively by staff and they have no discretionary
criteria. Type I permits include projects like grading permits, building permits not subject to SEPA (for
example, a water heater permit when the heater dies),right-of-way permits, and accessory dwelling units.
Typically, Type I permits have low impact to surrounding properties and additional notice could cause
unnecessary delays.
Notice of Application (SVMC 17.80.110)
For Type II and III applications,the City is required to issue a Notice of Application within 14 days after
an application is determined to be complete. The notice is distributed by publishing in the Spokane Valley
Herald and mailing notice to the following:the applicant,adjacent property owners,governmental agencies
entitled to notice(for example schools,police,fire,transit),and any person filing a written request to receive
the notice. One note is that the Spokane Valley News Herald only publishes on Fridays. The Notice of
Application starts a public comment period of 14 days for Type II applications and 30 days for Type III
applications.
Notice of Public Hearing(SVMC 17.80.120)
For Type III applications, after the close of the comment period on the Notice of Application,the City will
issue a Notice of Public Hearing. The Notice of Public Hearing must occur at least 15 days prior to the
hearing and is distributed by publishing in the Spokane Valley News Herald and mailing the notice to
property owners within 400 feet of the project, any agencies with jurisdiction(for example Department of
Ecology,Department of Transportation),and governmental agencies entitled to notice.The Notice of Public
Hearing may also be provided to persons outside of the 400-foot radius when the City determines it is a
project of known or likely known public interest and when there are likely substantial impacts. In addition,
the Notice of Public Hearing is also posted on the property with a large sign.
Notice of Final Decision (SVMC 17.80.130)
All applications require a Notice of Final Decision. The Notice of Final Decision is distributed by mailing
the notice to the applicant; any governmental agency entitled to notice; any person filing a written request
for a copy of the Notice of Application or the Notice of Final Decision; and any person who testified at the
hearing or who provided substantive written comments on the application during the public comment period
and provided a mailing address.
State Environmental Policy Act Noticing(chapter 21.20 SVMC)
Chapter 21.20 SVMC implements the SEPA, RCW 43.21C.120, and Chapter 197-11 WAC. All projects
are required to have an environmental threshold determination unless specifically exempted. The City has
adopted flexible threshold standards, increasing the number of projects exempt from a threshold
determination; however, any application type, depending on its scope, may require a threshold
determination. The threshold determination is like the Notice of Application in that it serves as the public
notice that a non-exempt SEPA action is planned. When required,a threshold determination requires a 14-
day comment period and is distributed by publishing in the Spokane Valley News Herald, emailed to
agencies with jurisdiction,Department of Ecology,affected Native-American tribes,and local agencies that
may be impacted by the proposal. In addition, for site specific projects, the site is posted with the SEPA
threshold determination. The City cannot issue a Notice of Decision until after the close of the SEPA
comment period.
Page 2 of 3
Other Considerations
The City's notice requirements have been developed to be consistent with chapter 36.70B RCW,but state
law does permit cities to have some flexibility in determining how best to provide notice to the public.
Some of the options included in 36.70B that are not currently included in our notice provisions include:
posting the property for site-specific proposals; notifying public or private groups with known interest in a
certain proposal or in the type of proposal being considered; publishing notice in agency newsletters or
sending notice to agency mailing lists.

Memorandum
To: John Hohman, City Manager
From: Chelsie Taylor, Finance Director
Date: June 22, 2022
Re: Finance Department Activity Report—April 2022
Following is information pertaining to Finance Department activities through the end of April 2022
and included herein is an updated 2022 Budget to Actual Comparison of Revenues and
Expenditures through the end of April.
2021 Year-end Process
The 2021 books were closed during April. We have begun the preparation of the annual financial
report and will have it completed by the end of May. We hope to have the State Auditor's Office
on site by early June to begin the audit of 2021.
2022 Budclet Amendment
As we have progressed through 2022 the need for a number of budget amendments has arisen.
Council review will take place at the following meetings:
• May 3 Admin Report
• May 17 Public Hearing
• May 17 First reading on proposed ordinance amending the 2022 Budget
• May 31 Second reading on proposed ordinance amending the 2022 Budget
2023 Budclet Development
The 2023 Budget development process began in the Finance Department in early March, and
on April 5th we sent detailed budget requests to all departments to complete by mid-May. By the
time the budget is scheduled to be adopted on November 8th, the Council will have had an
opportunity to discuss the budget on seven occasions including three public hearings.
• June 14 Council budget workshop
• August 24 Admin report on 2023 revenues and expenditures
• September 13 Public hearing #1 on the 2023 revenues and expenditures
• October 4 City Manager's presentation of preliminary 2023 Budget
• October 11 Public hearing #2 on 2023 Budget
• October 25 First reading on proposed ordinance adopting the 2023 Budget
• November 8 Public hearing #3 on the 2023 Budget
• November 8 Second reading on proposed ordinance adopting the 2023 Budget

Budciet to Actual Comparison Report
A report reflecting 2022 Budget to Actual Revenues and Expenditures for those funds for which
a 2022 Budget was adopted is located on pages 5 through 18. Because we attempt to provide
this information in a timely manner, this report is prepared from records that are not formally
closed by the Finance Department at month end or reconciled to bank records. Although it is
realistic to expect the figures will change over subsequent weeks, I believe the report is materially
accurate.
We've included the following information in the report:
• Revenues by source for all funds, and expenditures by department in the General Fund and
by type in all other funds.
• A breakdown between recurring and nonrecurring revenues and expenditures in the General
Fund, Street O&M Fund and Stormwater Fund.
• The change in fund balance including beginning and ending figures. The beginning fund
balance figures are those that are reflected in our 2021 Annual Financial Report.
• Columns of information include:
o The 2022 Budget as adopted
o April 2022 activity
o Cumulative 2022 activity through April 2022
o Budget remaining in terms of dollars
o The percent of budgeted revenue collected or budgeted expenditures disbursed
A few points related to the General Fund #001 (page 5):
Recurring revenues collections are currently at 22.01% of the amount budgeted with 33.33% of
the year elapsed.
• Property taxes are paid to Spokane County in two installments each year on April 30 and
October 31 and are then remitted to the City primarily in May and November with lesser
amounts typically remitted in June and December. Property taxes received thus far in 2022
are $809,212 or 6.13% of the amount budgeted.
• Sales tax collections represent only three months of collections thus far because taxes
collected in April are not remitted to the City by the State until the latter part of May.
Collections are currently at$7,252,498 or 26.16% of the amount budgeted.
• Gambling taxes are at $10,232 or 2.80% of the amount budgeted. Gambling taxes are paid
quarterly with first quarter payments due by April 30.
• Franchise Fee and Business Registration revenues are typically received in the month
following a calendar year quarter. So far in 2022 we have received $82,824 or 6.82% of the
amount budgeted.
• State shared revenues are composed of State of Washington distributions that include items
such as liquor board profits, liquor excise tax, streamlined sales tax mitigation and criminal
justice monies. Most of these revenues are paid by the State in the month following a
calendar quarter. Through April we've received remittances totaling $637,832 or 31.96% of
the amount budgeted.
• Fines and forfeitures revenues are composed of monthly remittances from Spokane County
with payments made in the month following the actual assessment of a fine and false alarm
fees. Through April we've received remittances through the month of March with receipts of
$118,510 or 22.46% of the amount budgeted.
• Community and Public Works service revenues are largely composed of building permit and
plan review fees as well as right of way permits. Revenues are currently at $1,380,940 or
52.38% of the amount budgeted.
P:1FinancelFinance Activity Reports\Council Monthly Reports1202212022 04 30.docx Page 2
• Recreation program revenues are composed of revenues generated by the variety of parks
and recreation programs including classes, swimming pools (in-season), and CenterPlace.
Currently, revenues total $230,591 or 35.34% of the amount budgeted.
Recurring expenditures are currently at$12,872,146 or 26.59% of the amount budgeted with
33.33% of the year elapsed.
Investments (page 19)
Investments at April 30 total $88,401,388 and are composed of $83,305,524 in the Washington
State Local Government Investment Pool and $5,095,864 in bank CDs.
Total Sales Tax Receipts (page 20)
Total sales tax receipts reflect State remittances through April and total $8,193,829 including
general, criminal justice, and public safety taxes. This figure is $242,126 or 3.04% greater than
the same twelve-month period in 2021.
Economic Indicators (pages 21 —23)
The following economic indicators provide information pertaining to three different sources of tax
revenue that provide a good gauge of the health and direction of the overall economy.
1. Sales taxes (page 21) provide a sense of how much individuals and businesses are spending
on the purchase of goods.
2. Hotel / Motel taxes (page 22) provide us with a sense of overnight stays and visits to our area
by tourists or business travelers.
3. Real Estate Excise taxes (page 23) provide us with a sense of real estate sales.
Page 21 provides a 10-year history of general sales tax receipts (not including public safety or
criminal justice) with monthly detail beginning January 2013.
• Compared with calendar year 2021, 2022 collections have increased by $133,625 or 1.88%.
• Tax receipts reached an all-time high in 2021 of $31,499,534, besting the previous record
year of 2020 when $25,238,481 was collected.
Page 22 provides a 10-year history of hotel/motel tax receipts with monthly detail beginning
January 2013.
• Compared with calendar year 2021, 2022 collections have increased by $44,028 or 50.27%.
• Collections reached an all-time high in 2021 of $744,437, besting the previous record of
$743,851 in 2019.
Page 23 provides a 10-year history of real estate excise tax receipts with monthly detail
beginning January 2013.
• Compared with calendar year 2021, 2022 collections have increased by$143,957 or 13.59%.
• Collections reached an all-time high in 2021 of$6,218,227.
Debt Capacity and Bonds Outstandinci (page 24)
This page provides information on the City's debt capacity, or the dollar amount of General
Obligation (G.O.) Bonds the City may issue, as well as an amortization schedule of the bonds the
City currently has outstanding.
• The maximum amount of G.O. bonds the City may issue is determined by the assessed value
for property taxes which for 2022 is $12,919,694,944. Following the December 1, 2021 debt
service payments, the City has $10,485,000 of nonvoted G.O. bonds outstanding which
P:1FinancelFinance Activity Reports\Council Monthly Reports1202212022 04 30.docx Page 3
represents 5.41% of our nonvoted bond capacity, and 1.08% of our total debt capacity for all
types of bonds. Of this amount:
o $3,780,000 remains on bonds issued for the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds
are repaid with a portion of the 1/10 of 1% sales tax that is collected by the Spokane Public
Facilities District.
o $305,000 remains on bonds issued for road and street improvements around CenterPlace.
The bonds are repaid with a portion of the real estate excise tax collected by the City.
o $6,400,000 remains on bonds issued for construction of the new City Hall. The bonds are
repaid with General Fund revenues.
Street Fund Revenue Sources (pages 25 and 26)
The last two charts reflect a history for the two primary sources of revenue in Street Fund #101.
These include:
Page 25 provides a 10-year history of Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax collections with monthly detail
beginning January 2013.
• Compared with calendar year 2021, 2022 collections have increased by $41,342 or 10.03%.
• Tax receipts peaked in 2007 at just approximately $2.1 million and have generally ranged
around $2 million in the years 2013 through 2021.
Page 26 provides a 10-year history of Telephone Utility Tax collections with monthly detail
beginning January 2013.
• Compared with 2021, 2022 collections have decreased by $15,224 or 5.94%. Unlike tax
revenues collected by the State and remitted monthly, these taxes are paid to the City directly
by the service provider. Consequently, there is not a "clean cutoff' in terms of when a vendor
pays the tax.
• Tax receipts peaked in 2009 at $3,054,473 and have decreased each year since due to what
we suspect is the reduction in land lines by individual households as well as a reallocation of
revenues from voice plans to data plans by cell phone companies.
• The 2022 Budget was adopted with a revenue estimate of $932,000. We will watch actual
receipts closely as the year progresses.

Sales tax receipts reported here reflect remittances for general sales tax, criminal justice
sales tax and public safety tax.
The sales tax rate for retail sales transacted within the boundaries of the City of Spokane
Valley is 8.9%. The tax that is paid by a purchaser at the point of sale is remitted by the
vendor to the Washington State Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to
the various agencies that have imposed the tax. The allocation of the total 8.9%tax rate to
the agencies is as follows:
- State of Washington 6.50%
- City of Spokane Valley 0.85%
- Spokane County 0.15%
- Spokane Public Facilities District 0.10% *
- Criminal Justice 0.10%
- Public Safety 0.10% *— 2.40% local tax
- Juvenile Jail 0.10% *
- Mental Health 0.10% *
- Law Enforcement Communications 0.10% *
- Spokane Transit Authority 0.80%
8.90%
* Indicates voter approved sales taxes
In addition to the .85% reported above that the City receives, we also receive a portion of
the Criminal Justice and Public Safety sales taxes. The distribution of those taxes is
computed as follows:
Criminal Justice: The tax is assessed county-wide and of the total collected, the
State distributes 10%of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder
allocated on a per capita basis to the County and the cities within the County.
Public Safety: The tax is assessed county-wide and of the total collected, the
State distributes 60%of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder
allocated on a per capita basis to the cities within the County.
