Councilmember Gothmann: reported that he attended a SNAP meeting; went to a Valley Business show
which was well attended; went to a Solid Waste Task Force meeting where they discussed different
constructs for a regional solid waste governing committee; attended the Transportation Improvement
Board (TIB) meeting with that Board's new director and said a call for projects is coming up soon in
connection with the Urban Corridor Program. In connection with the TIB, Councilmember Gothmann
said that three cities were asked to change their scope of project, and two out of three included more
roundabouts; he said there is some legislative support for preservation programs but the TIB indicates
cities would have to show some initiative to fund its own program and it would depend on the total
assessed valuation of the cities; he also mentioned that a citizen called to ask that the Indiana Extension
Project funds be withdrawn, but Councilmember Gothmann explained that those decisions are at the
discretion of cities and not the TIB. Councilmember Gothmann said he also attended the 9-1-1 Board
meeting; and he looked at the Appleway Court low-cost housing, and said the location is good; he also
attended the Senior's Fair at CenterPlace; and had lunch with members of Meals on Wheels where
concerns were voiced about the Taylor Cottages, which he said is not within the Spokane Valley

jurisdiction; he also attended the Government Affairs meeting in connection with the Chamber of
Commerce.
Councilmember Grafos: reported he attended last night's State of the City address, and commended the
Mayor for his presentation.
Deputv Mayor Schimmels: said he attended the State of the City address and said it was well done; that in
the past few weeks, he attended a Spokane Regional Transportation Council meeting with our counterpart
in Kootenai County, and said he met with a group of federal representatives regarding us joining forces as
far as transportation is concerned; said the Census Bureau put on an elaborate meeting but there were no
decision made; he reported that he and Mayor Towey attended a meeting with the downtown library
representatives last week, as well as members from the EPA, and said there were about thirty-five
different agencies in attendance, that there were no conclusions; and that he went to a Good Roads
meeting where a group of local contractors and some elected officials met concerning the betterment of
roads in Spokane County; and said he attended an STA (Spokane Transit Authority) Operations
Committee meeting.
MAYOR'S REPORT: Mayor Towey reported that he enjoyed himself last night at the State of the City
address, that there was a good turnout with lots of good comments; and he mentioned the future State of
the City meetings and encouraged everyone to attend.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Towey invited general public comments, and explained that since there
is only one action item on tonight's agenda, that there will only be one opporiunity for general public
comments instead of the normal two opportunities.
1. Brian Millspau�h, 216 N Walnut Street; regarding the H[TD housing proposed for Walnut Street, he
said that this is not a religious issue but is a zoning issue and said it is inappropriate to include a religious
aspect; he said there were comments made that they were afraid of the elderly; and he mentioned some
past quotes about "when they talked about those retarded seniors, those dirty poor people" and "it is
disturbing to think that human beings can have such negative stereotypes and such horrifically bad views
of the poor; ." said shamed the person who made those statements for not doing their research. Mr.
Millspaugh said at the last two committee meeting, those things were never said; and he said the only
negative comment was a rhetorical comment by one of the people from Catholic Charities who said
"don't worry folks; we don't just take people that drool and stink." Mr. Millspaugh said as someone
dying from an illness, he drools and stinks, and said that comment wasn't funny. Concerning the elderly,
he said his parents are elderly; and said Councilmember Grassel lives across the street from his parents;
and he said he is not afraid of his parents. He said if he had heard comments like that, that he would have
stood up and gotten mad as that is not a fair question; and he said the first rule of debate is to "come to the
table with clean hands" and if you don't, then he questioned why someone would be trusted; and he said
that Catholic Charities came to the table with dirty hands and tried to slip this through without public
notification, which causes trust issues in a very small community where everyone just wants to get along.
2. Bill Mihalic 10824 E. Steve Lane, Spokane Vallev: said since he had a letter published in the Valley
Voice, and mailed Council another letter on March 28, 2011, he hopes Council has had time to review his
position for the proposed housing on St. John Vianney property; he said he is not a newcomer to
contested events; he said at the last council meeting, he watched a review of slides of parcels under
consideration for a building permit, and that the staff inember described each location, but when she got
to the last slide, she stated "this is St. John Vianney property, of x acres, and we oppose." He said he
expects more from his tax dollar; and asked on what grounds was this opposed; and he said she was
perhaps opposing his Constitutional right to practice his faith, and said it is evident that the Planning
Commission is not aware of rights of the church to practice their faith; which he said includes feeding and
housing the poor and needy; and said you are mandated under the first exercise clause of the First
Amendment to grant the building permit. He said freedom of religion is a basic human right that no

government may lawfully decline; is not a gift of the state but is rooted in the inherent dignity of the
human person. He said he feels a cloud of negativity exists and asked if people are growing too old to
have a purpose, and said it's time to help our fellow man.
3 Mary Pollard N Greenacres Chair: said there is an immediate and urgent need to provide a safe way to
cross Mission; said they need a signal in the meantime, or a four-way stop and she wants to make sure we
figure out the proportionate share to be collected on different development projects so the last project
won't have to pay the most; she said the GMA (Growth Management Act) requires concurrency on
transportation, and she is asking for pedestrian safety at the Mission and Long intersection.
4 Jerrv Brooks 18303 E. Mission Avenue: said the City is doing a great disservice to him and his
neighbors with the project to make Mission Avenue a major thoroughfare between the Spokane Valley
Mall and Liberty Lake; he said the proposed couplet was designed with the developer, Centennial
Properties, in mind; and said the plan did not consider the scope of community needs, and when the plan
was made, there was a clear violation of SEPA requirements; he said the City filled out the Environmental
Checklist in such a way that it wouldn't trigger any serious review of impacts; he said the Routing
Memorandum from the Environmental Checklist review of December 3, 2010 failed to include Central
Valley School District, State Parks, impacted property owners, the North Greenacres Neighborhood, and
the Friends of Centennial Trail; he said there are seveniy-two homes on Mission Avenue between Flora
and Barker that will now be impacted by high traffic and an increased exposure to diesel particulates. He
said North Greenacres is a single-family neighborhood and the long term changes were not considered,
and said it is shamefixl that they are continuously forced to endure quality of life changes without input.
5 Kiendra Bullock Executive Director for Voices, a low-income advocacy organization in Spokane that
works on civic engagement; said as a representative for their membership, she asks that Council
reconsider the project for the H[TD housing and Catholic Charities, and not because no one is empathetic
to senior citizen or low income housing, but because her organization looks at it as a tax dollar issue; and
said anytime there is a proposed HUD housing, tax dollars are involved, and people are made to feel
empathetic to the situation since it is for affordable housing, which is what her organization works on;
however, she said in this State and in our City and in Spokane there are several affordable housing
property owners who receive tax breaks for offering affording housing, but said they make it very
difficult for people to actually get into those homes, or they actually end up being slumlords, or after
those homes are built and they re-zone neighborhoods, they sell those large properties and said the
intended purpose many times is lost after a few years; she asked Council that before they re-zone a
neighborhood and offer a huge apartment complex, to consider doing a thorough review of the properties
that are available for rent in Spokane Valley, to look at what properties are listed as afFordable housing,
and then ask how to change the current situation without the band aid of just building more; and without
the accountability of the properiy owners providing upkeep, she said she doesn't see the need to build
more.
6 Pete Miller, 18142 E. Mission: in reading her statement, it stated that on September 11, 2007, she
submitted her opinion regarding zone changes in North Greenacres, and she attached a letter to that to
remind Council of what was a very poor relationship between the previous Council and North Greenacres
Residents; she addressed road improvements on Mission Avenue and asked to have the impact mitigated
of what was once a quiet neighborhood with a reduced speed zone; she said dividing the neighborhood
with a minor arterial conflicts with the comprehensive plan; said their neighborhood transportation plan
was submitted to Council in 2005 which plan included a roundabout at Long and Mission; said a speed
limit for the eventual school zone will slow traffic sporadically and the park will draw pedestrian traffic
from the new developments in Greenacres and Riverwalk; and said that 35 miles-per-hour is too fast and
that many drivers push the limit to 40; that Broadway is a minor arterial and also conflicts with the
Comprehensive Plan; that the SEPA checklist review for Indiana/Mission asked if there were any plans or

further activity related to that proposal, and that the "no" answer was grossly misstated; and that Mission
Avenue has a speed limit of 30 miles-per-hour and she sees no reason why the same criteria that allows a
reduced speed limit in an area with fewer homes, cannot be applied to Mission Avenue between Barker
and Flora.
7. Stac�jordahl, 505 W Riverside, Suite 500: regarding the pending comprehensive plan amendments
for consideration, and the potential repeal of the Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan; she said Mr.
Grafos and others might recall that in 2008 she represented a number of property owners who owned
property along the Sprague/Appleway corridor; and said at that time those property owners were
specifically opposed to the adoption of the Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan for several reasons,
mainly because a lot of the properties were being down-zoned and there would be restrictions on property
use, the architectural guidelines, sight-restrictions, parking, pre-determined streets and also that at that
time, it was a plan and not yet in adoption; she said she supports the repeal of that Plan; she said she is
working with CarMax, a company that is considering relocating here on one of the properties impacted by
the SARP, and said if it is not repealed, it could adversely affect their ability to select that particular
proposal, and she urged Council to move that item forward.
8 John McNamara 10312 Ashcroft Place Henrico, Vir i� nia: said he is a real estate manager with
CarMa�c, and concerning the potential repeal of the SARP plan; said his company is the leading retailer
of used cars in the country; he said they are a Fortune 500 retailer, have 104 stores in 50 markets and did
$9 billion in sales this year and sold over 350,000 cars; he said they have a transparent process and no
haggle pricing with money-back guarantee along with guaranteed products, and Internet shopping; and
said they are also a Fortune 100 best companies to work for for the eighth year in a row; he said they are
interested in a site on Sprague, where Dishman Dodge is on Sprague, there is a nine-acre piece next to it
which is currently undeveloped with a small abandoned building on it; and they are interested in
developing that into a state-of-the-art car retail facility; said it would be a multi-million dollar building;
and said their developments look more like a Target or Costco than the typical car dealer; he said they
would like to come to the city but in their preliminary research through the SARP documentation, they
found many specifics which would preclude them from developing that site, and to force them to look at
other options like the City of Spokane; he urged council to consider this, and said he knows his company
can bring a great deal of jobs in service, merchandising, and sales.
9. Rebecca Tavlor, 508 N. Locust: regarding the St. John Vianney project; said she has lived in her
neighborhood for about ten years, her kids play at the St. John Vianney playground and not everyone in
that neighborhood opposes this project; she said she thinks it is a good idea, and knows that Catholic
Charities does a good job in building and maintaining housing; and said the Parish will not allow it to not
be maintained; said she is having trouble paying her bills and cannot imagine living on a fixed income,
and feels it is a benefit for the neighborhood to have elderly people staying there who will take care for
the neighborhood, and said her best neighbors are the elderly.
10. Ken Curry, 625 N Herald: said he lives a block away from the St. John Vianney; said he doesn't
oppose having a senior housing, but said there is a nice lot off Herald and Main and Sprague with a bus
stop which would facilitate their needs for transportation, and said they could put in a chapel in the
housing at Main and Herald and Sprague if they wanted to; said he is a catholic and has attended St. John
Vianney; but a low income housing apartment down the street increases traffic and the violation of speed
limits; and increases the police having to come in; said he has seen a lot of activity in that other area; he
said that piece of property has been vacant for years, but the other place on Walnut is a residential area.
11. Kelly Clinger. 312 N Herald: said he is a third generation of that general area on Walnut road and
many of those homes are about an acre, adequate for four, tri or quad-plexes if owners should sell; said
the idea of building the HCTD development there is wonderful on one aspect; said he is all for the elderly,

but is concerned about the location; that a 40 unit structure will create more congestion; and said if it will
be all elderly that's fine, but asked when it will be just elderly; and said how long before someone says
that is discrimination against others; he said they have a place on Main off Herald, and the police officers
are there constantly, as well as helicopters at 2:00 a.m. looking for people jumping over the fence from
the apartment complex; and said that doesn't have anything to do with this if we can just keep it elderly
and exclude the problem of additional traffic; and he asked if there is a guarantee that the property in the
future doesn't change hands and that would be turned into just another apartment complex; and said if this
area is re-zoned, anyone selling their house on his street or Walnut Road will also give them the right to
zone their property for a multi-family structure.
12. Michael Smith. 404 N. Walnut: said he lives directly across from the properiy in question; said this
has nothing to do with the elderly, but is all economics; said his wife spent her entire inheritance buying a
beautiful home there, and due to the economic downturn, almost all the equity is gone; and if this re-
zoning happens, it was mentioned that our property values will go up but said that is not true; he said
every morning there are parents running late taking their kids to school end up speeding almost 50 miles-
per-hour down Walnut; and said he has almost been hit backing out of his driveway; that this is about
economics and the American dream washing down the toilet; he said it has nothing to do with the elderly;
and if it gets re-zoned and an institution goes up in their front yard, he feels he is getting steamrolled.
13 Elizabeth Stout, 608 N Herald: said she is not against senior housing; she said at the meeting at the
church, it was said it would be a facility that would be at least 40 units, 600 to 700 square feet, and
possibly not more than two stories; she said she went to the open house at Appleway Court and after
making that comparison, said she was glad she could get a visual idea; that they have 37 units, three
stories, and 500 to 550 square feet, and they have 37 parking spaces plus an additional ten or fifteen; and
she said after seeing that, she can't visualize something that size being in that Walnut Area on that lot; she
said she knows they are proposing to build another senior housing right next to Appleway Court in the
near future; and said she feels it would have to be at least three stories to facilitate that many people.
14. Levi Strauss. 302 N Walnut Road: said his neighborhood surrounding St. John Vianney is a nice,
quiet, friendly neighborhood; that historic Walnut trees line the road giving the neighborhood charm; he
said widely spaced homes gives a park like setting to the neighborhood, and said neighbors take pride in
ownership by keeping impeccable yards; he said Walnut Road is one of the most beautiful streets in
Spokane Valley; behind their doors is no more intolerance than lurks in any Spokane Valley
neighborhood; he said their fears are no less than anywhere else; and said they do have drastic fears their
neighborhood will lose its charm; there are currently 35 residential homes on Walnut Road with an
apartment complex near Sprague with 20 units; he said they fear a zoning change will allow a 52-unit
mega complex which would increase the number of dwellings on Walnut Road by 100%, and said such a
complex does not fit and is way too big for the narrow streets; he said when St. John Vianney purchased
the property they knew it was limited to a twelve-unit complex and perhaps the church should have
looked for property that was more appropriate, and now the church wants to change the zoning to fit their
needs without any care of what happens to the neighborhood; and said they feel a 52-unit complex would
destroy their nice, friendly, quiet neighborhood; and fear traffic and crime will increase, and the school
adjacent to the project will put children's safety at risk; and that the aesthesis of the neighborhood will be
compromised; and he asked Council to try to envision what this proposed monstrosity will look like 50 to
100 years from now; and whether any Councilmember would like such a complex built next door to them;
he said the valley has lots of open spaces zoned for these projects; he said they voted for Council to look
out for the best interests of the community; and to allow this complex in a residential neighborhood would
be an injustice, and that this is the wrong place, wrong time.
15 Thomas Dixon 608 N Farr Road: said his street is the back side of St. John Vianney; spoke of the
various places he has lived in the past, including on or near air bases; and when those airbase missions

changed, or new aircraft arrived, homeowners and cities litigated against the military because of the
noise; said he was a follower of the Catholic religion during his early military years, and learned from his
parents what their generation had in mind was to develop parishes; that they didn't have a lot of money;
so the idea was parishes would purchase land like over here in 1954 when there wasn't much around, then
they'd build a church and support buildings and schools, and when the church was paid off, they'd turn
the church into a gym and start a new church; and there were ideas for the property purchased in 1954
prior to all the houses; and said with every new addition and change, nearby residents always prefer the
status quo; and said with the Catholic Charities putting in this building, it can only do good for the area; it
will increase traffic, but it will be good for the area because it will be for low-income seniors; and said he
has been told by them that once they purchase a property and improve that property, they cannot turn
around and sell that property for approximately foriy years; and said he supports the project even though
his wife disagrees.
16. Shellv Stevens 312 N Walnut: said she got her Saturday morning paper and saw another letter to the
editor regarding this project; she said they are communicated to as a neighborhood via letters to the
editor; that they were told it is unfortunate they weren't notified of this proposed zoning change because it
caused the neighbors to spread rumors; and said they were notified by the City of Spokane Valley via a
public hearing notice, which was the first they heard about this proposal; she said that the latest letter to
the editor was from Rev. Charles Scope, a Senior Priest in the Spokane Valley; she said that Rev. Scope
did not specify good in his reference to the St. John Vianney parishioners being their neighbors, and said
they are thankful for that, because good neighbors stop when they are asked to stop; she said the history
of the buildings on the St. John Vianney property were built on what she assumes were properly zoned
parcels; and said that St. John Vianney is attempting to build an apartment complex on residentially zoned
property; and said regardless of who would live there, it will hurt the neighborhood; and said the issue is
not low income senior housing, but increased traffic, decreased property values, and more people living
on a single acre of land then what occupies the entire make-up of Walnut Road; and said this is too much
and too many people for a rural neighborhood. She further stated that the property on Walnut Road with
the blue house on it, which is where the monstrosity will be built, was purchased by James Mulvanney
when Mrs. Rucker, a former parishioner passed away; and said the properiy was used as a rental prior to
the purchase by the church. She said the good neighbors on Walnut Road, including herself, rescued all
the abandoned pets off that property and gave them good homes; they helped a few of the children living
on that properiy, attend their church's Christian church camp; and fed those children who lived at the
rental and gave them rides to school. She said they know what good neighbors do and they have been
doing it for years; and said they will not be guilted into feeling bad because they are protecting what is
theirs. She said when St. John Vianney purchased the property, they assured the neighbors they were
going to use this property to build a complex of maybe four to twelve units, for retired priests and low-
income senior housing; and the neighborhood was thrilled with this prospect; and said image their dismay
when they were notified that the church was trying to re-zone their parking lot to build this monstrosity;
and said this is a manipulation by the Church; and that further manipulation is to bring up RLUIPA
[Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act], a federal law that does not apply in this case; and
she said the property can be re-sold, or if the property can change to something else in forty years, or if
used for commercial purposes, RLiJIPA does not apply, and she cited Michigan State vs. the Supreme
Court, 2007.
17. Shirley Pantaleo, 10414 E. Holman Road: she read her statement, and gave a copy to the Clerk for
later distribution to the Council. In summary the statement concerns the low income housing proposal;
that she wanted to put a face on one of the many who require affordable low income housing; that after
the death of her father, her mother was unable to remain in the home she grew up in and stayed with
family members until she was able to move into a low income HUD apartment; and said she deeply
resents the implications that she has heard from some Walnut Street neighbors, that seniors are
undesirable and a threat to the community; and that her mother was one of the most unselfish, hard

working, kind individuals she ever met, and was a person who was entitled to have affordable, safe
housing; and she urged Council to approve the zoning change.
18. John Adams. 10101 E. Main: said he owns Manor Vale Apartment Complex, which is the one
referenced earlier with police and helicopters frequenting the apartments; said he took a two-month
vacation and when he came back there was a child molester living there, and after that there was a fire;
said he is providing low income housing through Section 8 HiJD; that he has owned his complex for
twenty-six years and being a landlord is not fun, but he tries to do this for the communiTy; and said the
Walnut Road is a very nice area, and if you put an apartment complex there it will be nothing but trouble;
and said that 90% of the people will be okay but the 10% you can never get rid of which causes the
problems; and said if the church wanted senior housing, they should come talk to him and he'd sell them
his place and convert it to a senior housing place; and said he'd be willing to help the church if they want
to have senior housing.
19. Lynn WorthinQton, 9808 E. Valleyway: said she lives across from the parking lot where the school
and the gym are; said they get a lot of traffic but it's great; there's walkers, bikers, kids learning to ride
their bikes; that it's a great neighborhood. She said St. John Vianney is asking for a zone change from
low-density residential to medium and then to multi-family medium density residential; and said this is
way over the top and not acceptable; said they are asking for approval from the City and not from their
neighbors, to re-zone their already packed parking lot, to build a monstrosity in her neighborhood; and
said that 80-90% of residents in a six block radius oppose this proposal; and said the church doesn't seem
to care about that or about angering their neighbors with a complex that will change the whole face and
feel of their quiet neighborhood; and she asked Council to preserve the neighborhood and properiy
values; and said a complex built for 50 apartments is a commercial building and could be re-sold by the
church. She said when the City of Spokane Valley was incorporated in 2003, there was a concern that a
lack of resources would cut all the valley's ties to its community history; in 2004 Linda Yeoman, a
preservation consultant with the Spokane County Historical Preservation office stated that "if the City
does nothing, it may lose some of its history" and said Ms. Yeoman also listed some Spokane Valley
homes and neighborhoods worth preserving, one of which is the bungalow built in the 1920s and earlier
near St. John Vianney's cliurch; and she asked council not to allow a lack of resources, fiscal
responsibility or fear of repercussions to affect council's decisions tonight and to please preserve their
neighborhood; and she gave the clerk some copies of letters from Linda Yeomans.
20. Karen Strauss. 302 N Walnut Road: said she is not for the church and their 52 unit complex; said their
street is a wonderful, beautiful road; and if a 52-unit complex comes in, it will change the neighborhood
totally with different people going up and down the street; and with senior citizens, that's ok she said, but
said they have no sidewalks and people will be going up and down their streets; she said parents drive fast
through their streets and don't slow down; said that she has talked to a lot of her neighbors and they are
not happy with this proposal; said that the church indicated they have a high turnover in their
neighborhood but said they do not as many have lived there for 25 years or more; and she doesn't want to
see her road become a mess with more traffic; and wants the neighborhood to remain a nice, quiet place.
21. Sandra Holder 9814 E. Valle �y�vav_: also voiced her opposition to this proposal; said it is not the right
place for a 40-51 unit complex; there are other locations more suitable; said none of the complexes they
were directed to for comparisons are located in residential areas; and said she asked about them using the
land on Sprague and Herald, about 8.4 acres, and said she was told it was too expensive; and said
purchasing properiy for the right deal doesn't give them the right to put in a 40-51 unit complex there; as
it's not the right place for something that large; said she has a deaf child and she and her daughter have
rights as citizens; said she heard the project could become a model neighborhood project, and questioned
if that means they are implying the neighborhood is not now a model neighborhood; and said she feels it
is a very nice neighborhood; and said she isn't sure how a two or three story building could blend into the

neighborhood; and that Valleyway could still open in the future; that she lives on a dead-end street and
her daughter can't hardly play out there now because of the church traffic, and this would only increase
traffic and decrease her safety; said when she asked about sewer and water issues they were told we were
at sewer capacity and the current water pressure is not good; that she is for providing low income housing
for the elderly, just not there.
22. Mark Zielfelder, 417 N. Herald: explained that he plans to stay at his residence for a long time; that he
puts money into his home to increase the home's value, but adding a complex like makes him feel like
he's throwing that money down the drain; said that other 20-unit complex results in all kinds of people
coming out of there, and results in police and ambulances on their street; and said there are also neighbors
next door who rent and said they have had constant problems with those neighbors too; which shows that
if you don't own the property, you don't take the pride in that property; and said people speed on their
street now and traffic has increased since Winco came in on Sprague; said they voiced their concerns to
Crime Check and to the Police which only helped for a short period.
23 Marie E Raschko-Sokol St. John Vianney Pastoral Council Chair: said St. John Vianney was not
prepared to give formal testimony tonight, but plans to do so at the meeting where this comes on the
agenda for action; but said she wanted to clarify a point, and that is the housing project is a 38 to 40 unit
building built by HiJD, and is not a 52 unit building, nor has it ever been stated that it would be a 52-unit
building; she said the building has not been designed; that they are willing to work with the neighbors in
the future to build that design; and that they will be presenting further at the appropriate time.
24. Levi Strauss, 302 N Walnut: said from what he understands, this re-zoning would allow for a 52-unit
complex.
25 Rob McCann Executive Director at Catholic Charities corner of Division and Fifth in Spokane: said
he is grateful for all the comments and that it is needed and an important dialogue; that he is very excited
to build this property; he said this project represents an opportunity to transform lives and change hearts;
and said as they have done for almost one hundred years in this community, they will hopefully build the
project to not only transform the lives of those who will live there, but the neighbors as well, and change
in a good way; he said it is difficult to image a world where we are unable to help the least among us; that
they have a long track record which is visible, and said they have projects clearly in residential
neighborhoods, and the neighbors in those neighborhoods enjoy Catholic Charities being there; he said
they have a vision for this project, which is to serve people who desperately need help; and they don't
want to have seniors choosing between paying for food or for prescriptions; and when Catholic Charities
does a HUD project, it must be senior housing for forty years; and even beyond that, he said they have
many projects well beyond that time span and said he is confident this properiy will always be senior
housing; he said they will not be putting Valleyway through, and they are not building a 52-unit
monstrosity; but a 38-40 unit, tastefully designed, well-maintained property as is everything in their
portfolio; and said even in the 40�' year, they will keep this as designed, and said they would be more than
willing to sign a development agreement with the City so stating. He added that all the residents who live
in their housing undergo criminal and financial background checks, as well as those who work at Catholic
Charities, including the 5,000 volunteers; and said he has no fear they would ever put anyone in those
units who would be inappropriate for that neighborhood or who would endanger anyone.
26. Shelly Stevens 312 N Walnut: said she believes everyone has learned in the past two years by what's
happened in government and by what's happened in the past five years with Metropolitan Mortgage; that
contracts don't mean a lot, and people's word doesn't mean a lot; and said a guarantee that this will
maintain senior housing for 40 years means nothing to her based on what everyone has seen happen in
this country over the last five years.

27 Karen Strauss. 302 N Walnut Road: said St. Pascal's is a vacant school and church over there; and she
wondered why this project isn't built over there where it's empty; said over there would be more
appropriate and saves the neighborhood from a 52-unit complex; and said if you build this on the St. John
Vianney property, she is concerned about the children over there; that "you can have a lot of elderly
people wandering around; and they could just as easily wander around, and I just fear for the children's
safety."
There were no further comments and Mayor Towey extended his appreciation for everyone voicing their
concerns; and said Council has some tough decisions to make and to make those decisions, Council needs
information from both sides; and again extended his thanks for all the comments, and Mayor Towey
explained that this project will come back to Council next week for a first reading consideration, and if
that passes, to a second reading the following week; or council has the option not to go forward; and at
those first and second readings, council will take further public input; and that the fmal decision will be
done by majority council vote.
Mayor Towey called for a recess at 7:34 p.m., and reconvened the meeting at 7:51 p.m.

It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded, to advance Ordinance 11-006, amending Title
19 concerning permitted and accessory uses, and animal raising and keeping, to a second reading as
drafted. After Assistant Planner Janssen explained the proposal per the Request for Council Action form
included in the agenda packet materials, Mayor Towey invited public comment. Chris Pettvbone, 18009
E. Kellv said that she lives behind the Greenacres Shopping Center and said there are many large animals
throughout the corridor; said this change makes sense and she urges Council to support the proposal.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
3 Street Vacation Procedure, STV 01-11 — Scott Kuhta
Planning Manager Kuhta explained that an application was received from the Spokane Valley Fire
Department to vacate a portion of a street right-of-way accessing Fire Station No. 6 at 6306 East Sprague;
and he briefed council on the steps needed for a street vacation. Mr. Kuhta said next week staff will bring
forth a resolution setting a public hearing for this matter before the Planning Commission. There were no
objections to proceed as noted.
4 Broadwa Avenue Stormwater Draina Pro ject — Neil Kersten
Public Works Director Kersten explained the project as per his Request for Council Action form, and
showed the area in question on his accompanying map which showed the older sections circled in red, and
said those areas are in bad shape, and that they plan to do re-surfacing with funds from the street fund.
Mr. Kersten said in past years there have been serious drainage issues with the medium to larger storms
where this area flooded and the drywells failed as there are no catch basins; he said they don't have the
money budgeted in stormwater fund, but have more than adequate dollars within the fund balance, and he
asked for council consensus to move ahead with that, adding that Mr. Thompson would be bringing forth
a budget amendment soon that could include this project; that the cost for the property acquisition and
drainage work is approximately $458,000, which includes $70,000 to $80,000 for the cost of the land.
Mr. Kersten mentioned that there is no treatment for the old drywells and they don't meet the current
standards, so when they go bad, they would put in a swale; and said there is approximately $2 million in
the stormwater fund, and that this could qualify for APA funds, and that we receive about $500,000 every
year which could be used for the design and construction of the project; he added that this just came up as
they got into the design and realized there is a better way to have a final project; that they could go after
just the numbers for the drywells, but they would end up spending a large among of money to restore the
drywells. Councilmembers concurred that staff move ahead with this and bring it back as part of the
budget amendment.
5 Comprehensive Plan Amendments — Mike Basin�er
Planner Basinger went over the revised schedule of the comprehensive plan amendments, explaining that
tonight is an administrative report and that the first ordinance readings will be scheduled for next week,
thereby allowing legal counsel to brief Councilmembers tonight on the development of the 2011 comp
plan amendments for the ordinance. Councilmember Woodard stated that he was a member of the
Planning Commission when CPA 02-11, which is the St. John Vianney proposal was discussed; said he is
a Catholic, and that although he believes he can be impartial, to be fair to the neighborhood and the
church, and keeping in mind the citizens are his first concern, said he will recuse himself from this topic,
and he left the room at 8:17 p.m. Planner Basinger via his PowerPoint presentation, went over the
specific goals and policies used to form staff's recommendation relative to CPA 02-11. Attorney
Connelly added that the proposal by St. John Vianney is a request for a zone and comp plan change, that
there is no specific use to bind the property owner and this can be considered as a legislative change and
the question is, does Council want multi-family here or not; that if council says yes, then an option is to
proceed at a later meeting with an ordinance first reading. However, Mr. Connelly explained, the more
complicated question is, when you look at what would happen if they made a special application for a
building permit, and said if that happens, then LUPA and federal statutes would likely come into play;
that it is not totally black and white, but in the Ninth Circuit it is likely the court would say we have to
come up with a way to accommodate the use, which is an accessory to the church's mission. Mr.
Connelly further explained that if a building permit is ultimately requested, we'd have to probably
proceed, although we could condition it; and that another alternative, which allows Council some control,
is to continue the matter for thirty days and instruct staff and the properly owners to come up with terms

and conditions that would restrict the impact of such development, and to bring that back in the form of a
development agreement, which necessitates holding a public hearing. After council discussion, council
agreed to proceed with the plan of using a developer agreement and to schedule that as a future agenda
item. [Councilmember Woodard returned to the council chambers.]
Attorney Connelly explained that the next topic is the proposal sent to the Planning Commission for the
elimination of SARP (Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan) and the SARP zoning that was part of that
plan; he said the Planning Commission reviewed the proposal council sent and the Planning Commission
recommended SARP not be eliminated. Mr. Connelly said that this Council may or may not agree with
the recommendations of the Planning Commission, and he would like to talk through the key points in
those recommendations and get council feedback; and said once we have that, he will bring this forth as a
separate ordinance as it has some special characteristics. Mr. Connelly then went through the Planning
Commission findings, and explained to Council that they are located in the packet under tab 3 in the
March 10, 2011 memorandum concerning the "Removal of the Subarea Plan" and said those findings are
italicized in that document. Concerning the Finding: Planning Commission is concerned if the plan is
eliminated the conditions along the corridor will continue to decline without a plan, " Councilmember
Woodard said he agrees with the finding that it will decline along Sprague, but disagrees it will improve
with SARP. Councilmember Gothmann said he agrees with the finding that it will continue to decrease if
there is no plan, and said there is no evidence about the affect of SARP since it was only in effect for a
few months. Councilmember Grafos said he agees with the decline along Sprague, but disagees that
SARP will stop that decline. Mayor Towey said he disagrees with the fmding and said restrictions on
businesses by governments in itself restricts business, and that he thinks SARP has a negative impact on
economic development today and disagrees with the Planning Commission final recommendation.
Concerning the Finding: Planning Commission was concerned there was insufficient public input to
determine community support or opposition to plan. Councilmember Grafos said he disagrees as there
were meetings with all property owners to discuss impacts to properties and what they could do; and said
he didn't see any of the Planning Commissioners at those meetings, or a lot of the council members at
those meetings, and if they had come, they would likely have a different feeling. Councilmember
Gothmann stated that if Councilmembers had attended, they would be violating the Open Meetings Law;
that it was not a council meeting; and further stated he feels there was insufficient public input; that it was
determined that 195 property owners out of 200 did not attend. Deputy Mayor Schimmels said that the bi-
monthly meetings were held on the different topics, that he never heard anything that was defending the
SARP in an overall connotation; but said he disagrees with the Planning Commission on two items: he
said the zoning is very restrictive and there is no flexibility in the zoning language.
Mr. Connelly said the findings contain a number of other specific issues, and he asked council to go
through them and let him know if there are specific findings council agrees or not with; and he asked
about the additional finding that it would create too much commercial land. Councilmember Woodard
said that the people should be able to do what they want to and this is an issue of property rights; said we
have to look at regulations and how we are trying to dictate to them on how they can use their land; he
said we have to get away from the regulations on where to put the lot, signage, and so many things; that
we make it very expensive and no one wants to come here; and we have to open up things if we want a
vital commercial atmosphere. Mayor Towey voiced his agreement with Councilmember Woodard and
said we need economic development and need to make sure our regulations don't hamper business but
encourage it. Attorney Connelly asked if there were any other specifics council wants to address, and said
that a Planning Commission conclusion is they believe a decrease in employment could result by
removing SARP. Councilmember Woodard said he heard the testimony from CarMax, which is a good
indication of the affect of SARP; that we won't have employment with SARP; and said that the Planning
Commission said without SARP there is no plan, but he said there is a plan, but no one is listening; that
he has a plan about how to stimulate and build the best city but it doesn't include more regulations or
tougher restrictions but includes freedom and liberty. Deputy Mayor Schimmels said he knows we're in a

severe economic downturn, as in fifteen months we have only had one building permit on that stretch of
roadway. Councilmember Grafos said SARP was put together in a different environment and at a
different economic time; that the majority of retailers along there including the owners of University City
came forward asking for relief of the massive regulatory burdens of SARP, that it affects over 1,000
properties and almost 1,000 acres; he said he is completely against this plan. Councilmember Woodard
asked if the SARP no longer existed, could people still use those regulations and Mr. Jackson said
generally speaking, yes, but there could be some setbacks or other design standards at issue.
Attorney Connelly said he has a sense that this is not unanimous, but the majority of council want to
proceed with an ordinance rescinding the SARP, and four councilmembers shook their heads yes. Mr.
Connelly said he will put together a first reading of an ordinance for next week and incorporate findings
from tonight; and that next week council can make changes as desired; and said the other comp plan
matters will be in a separate ordinance, and that the multi-family request by the church will be continued
for 30 days as staff explores a development agreement. Council concurred.
6. Advance A�enda — Mavor Towev
Councilmember Woodard mentioned a concerned citizen asked him to address the issue of Mission east
of Flora and of the need to slow down traffic in order to protect people going go the park; and that prior to
the completion of the park, there are safety issues to consider. City Manager Jackson said that staff
discussed this and will come back at some point with additional information for council.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 8:54 p.m.

companion ordinance 11-010 work together to repeal in its entirety, the Sprague/Appleway Revitalization
Plan (SARP); and that the recitals set forth the legal requirements and the timeline concerning this
process, and he noted in particular those findings as noted on page four of the ordinance. Mayor Towey
invited public comment.
Dwight Hume 9101 N Mountain View Lane Spokane, Wa: via the clerk, copies of an April 19, 2011
letter from CarMax were circulated to council urging repeal of the SARP and giving some background of
their company. Mr. Hume then read his own April 19, 2011 letter to Council, in which he mentions he
represents Harlan Douglass who owns seventeen parcels regulated by SARP, and the Hultman Family
Trust, which owns nine parcels within SARP; and speaking on their behalf, he commended council for
keeping their campaign promise to reserve the plan; and he thanked Council for listening to the land
owners. Tony Lazanis S�okane Vallev: spoke of the restrictions on those properties in the SARP area and
voiced his hope that council does what it plans to do, as it would be a good thing for the valley. Steve
Neill, 10820 East 18`�': spoke in favor of eliminating the SARP and mentioned that we need free market
principles not government regulations if we want to get out of this recession, and he urged the end of the
SARP. David Solber� 12815 E Spra�.ue: said he owns a business located within the SARP boundaries
and he urged council to repeal it and move forward. Barry Currv 8022 E Spra�ue Ave: said the SARP

Towey thanking the Planning Commission for their work on this issue, emphasizing the detriments to a
plan with over 200 pages of regulations, mentioning that the one-way versus two-way is still an issue to
address in the future, and of the need to look at options to help the small businesses along Sprague, and to
discuss those options with those business owners. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Mayor Towey, and

After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Councilmember Grafos and
seconded to advance ordinance 11-010 to a second reading. Attorney Connelly explained that this is a
companion to the previous ordinance, and amends the zoning text book 2 and 3 by repealing it and
amends the zoning by returning the zoning which existed prior to the SARP. Mayor Towey invited
public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Mayor Towey, and
Councilmembers Grafos, Grassel and Woodard; Opposed: Councilmember Gothmann. Motion carried.
NON-ACTION ITEMS:
5 Disaster Cost Recoverv FEMA — Gerrv Bozarth Spokane Emergenc�Mana e� ment
Mr. Gerry Bozarth of Spokane Emergency Management, Mitigation and Disaster Recovery, explained
that his agency represents all citizens in cities, towns and unincorporated areas; they have six members
who take care of emergency management issues in Spokane and two more who handle homeland security
as compared with a staff of 27 in similar sized Pierce County. Through his PowerPoint presentation, Mr.
Bozarth explained about the categories of reimbursement assistance and gave examples of those
categories; said there must be damage cost thresholds as established by FEMA according to per/capita
rates; and stated that they are here to assist when disaster strikes, and that their office is always staffed
and open.
Mayor Towey called for a short recess at 7:15 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 7:29 p.m.

6 Railroad Quiet Zones — Neil Kersten
Public Works Director Kersten explained that last fall a group of neighbors from the Park and Vista area
petitioned for a quiet zone, and that staff has been asked to research cost and the procedure to get such
approval; and said that the total cost for the preliminary design and to get that to the FRA (Federal
Railroad Administration) is approximately $82,551; and said about mid-point in the process, or task #11
as identified in the scope of work, we should know what the total project would entail and whether we
would want to continue; adding that sometimes it takes more than a year to get a response from the
railroad. After council and staff discussion, it was determined that some time after the budget process,
Mr. Kersten will come back with a timeline; that staff will try to determine the City of Millwood's stance
on this issue or if they are interested, how or whether this would fit under the Bridging the Valley Project,
and research how to fund this item.
7. Mission Trailhead — Neil Kersten
Public Works Director Kersten said he was asked to come back with a cost estimate for improving
Mission Road for trailhead access; said that the estimated project cost to pave the road from the new
Mission Parkway to the end of the road, pave a 10' pathway from the parkway to the trailhead, provide
twenty parking spaces and a vehicle turnaround, is approximately $150,000; and said the cost does not
include additional right-of-way, which will be needed at the end of the road for the vehicle turnaround.
Mr. Kersten said he spoke with Centennial Properties and they are willing to work with us and have no
issues about keeping the trail at this location; that he also spoke with State Parks and they are open to
putting parking along the trail on the state property and there are a number of options on how to design
that, but said they are "on board" with looking at this site; that they are interested in having access on to
their properties, it would be a benefit to have a road, and that they are willing to work with us. Mr.
Kersten also mentioned that Council has the right to waive street requirements, so it wouldn't have to
meet full street requirements if that is council's decision.
There was some discussion about how to fund this project, about taking the Old Mission right-of-way and
carrying it straight, but Mr. Kersten explained that the curve must be there in order to connect to the
sidewalks along the road per street standards. Mr. Kersten also mentioned that they will have a public
process, after which staff will return to council with the actual project and the project cost. Mr. Jackson
said one of the possible funding mechanism is the new capital projects fund but that those funds are
limited, adding that it will be some time again before Mr. Kersten comes back with additional
information. Council agreed that they would like to see this project more forward. Mr. Kersten mentioned
the energy grant for the Greenacres Trail and said he will combine those two projects during the public
process since the facilities are right next to each other, so that staff can get the input at the same time.
Councilmember Grassel said she would like to see a more detailed drawing, perhaps a CAD if that would
be cost effective; and there was some discussion about putting this in the park comp plan and of the
possibility of having the river user group participate as well. Mr. Jackson said that any access to the river
would be more of an individual project; that staff is considering updating the Parks & Recreation
Masterplan, and that perhaps this would best fit with the finalization of the shoreline program, adding that
Council has the option to review and supplement that Masterplan. Mr. Kersten explained that he will get
a schedule together as the first issue is to determine where everyone wants everything, as we don't want
to spend a lot of time on a specific design until we lock that design down.
8 Detention Services Draft Interlocal A�reement with Spokane Countv — Mor�an Koudelka
Senior Administrative Analyst Koudelka explained that the since our City's inception, we have
contracted with Spokane County for incarceration service; and in 2010, Spokane CounTy Jail and Geiger
Corrections combined operations into one enterprise fund; that the new detention services fund created a
cost methodology that did not comply with the existing agreements; he said the County began negotiating
with the City of Spokane and with us to create a new interlocal agreement which would be focused on
creating and sustaining partnerships and promoting ongoing communication; and used his PowerPoint

presentation to go over the highlights of the draft agreement; after which Council agreed to have this
move forward for a motion consideration next week.
9 Advance A — Mayor Towev
Councilmember Woodard asked about the Broadway drywells and the road issue talked about last week,
and Mr. Jackson said that is not on the "pending list" yet and staff will discuss that in tomorrow
morning's meeting.
10 Council Check-in — Mayor Towev
Councilmember Woodard said he attended a meeting at CenterPlace last Thursday concerning a
transportation HLJB meeting; went to the Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) meeting that
afternoon, which was mostly in executive session which he could not attend; attended the evening State of
the City Forum at CenterPlace; the Chamber of Commerce Business Connections; the Spokane Valley
Parks and Recreation Re-opening of Discovery Park and tree planting, and that he is getting familiar with
the many functions of council. Councilmember Grafos said he also attended the State of the City Address
where they heard citizen concerns about traffic and Greenacres Park; went to the opening at Discovery
Park; participated in our City's Finance Committee meeting where they set June 14 as the date for the
budget retreat, and discussed a number of basic guidelines and parameters to bring to the full council in
June, as well as discussed a number of economic development enhancements to the Sprague/Appleway
Corridor, which they will bring to full council in the next few weeks. Councilmember Grassel said she
also attended the State of the City address and the Discovery Park opening.
Mayor Towey mentioned the City-initiated House Bill 1922, which now needs the Governor's signature;
that this is the bill to force the cattle trucks to go through the port of entry, and mentioned it is unique to
have a city-initiated bill. Mr. Jackson added that our lobbyist, Ms. Taylor will be giving an update to
council in a few weeks. Mayor Towey also announced that we were selected for the Well City Award,
and he congratulated the Human Resources Department for their efForts in that regard. The Council of
Governance Meeting is scheduled for May 20 at the Fairgrounds and Mayor Towey said the County is
soliciting agenda items, and if council has issues, to please send him or Mr. Jackson a note and they will
forward it to the County for their consideration. Councilmember Gothmann mentioned he would like an
update on animal control; and Mayor Towey asked Mr. Gothmann to write that request to him so it can be
forwarded to the County.
11. Ci _ Manager Check-in — Mike Jackson
Regarding the Legislative Budget and the request by Spokane Valley Partners, Mr. Jackson said the
House included about $100,000 but the Senate has not; that the legislature will meet in a special session
in early May so there is still hope some funds could be awarded; that our City's Wellness budget is $900,
but our Human Resources (HR) Department applied for and received over $2,500 in grants from AWC
(Association of Washington Cities), which means we have not had to touch our own money for any of our
offered HR programs. Mr. Jackson said the city survey was mailed to about 1200 citizens yesterday, and �
t
if citizens are interested to see what is included on the survey, it is on our website for viewing. Mr.
Jackson added that there have been many questions at the State of the City Addresses concerning the
paving of Boone, and he asked Mr. Kersten to give some clarification.
Public Works Director Kersten explained that right-of-way on Boone between Flora and Barker is an old
railroad right-of-way, and he distributed a map to councilmembers of the area in question; and explained
that the upper left-hand corner starts with Flora, and that the highlighted yellow sections are owned by the ''
City, which were deeded to the City upon incorporation, and the remainder of the right-of-way is still ;
owned by the County; from Flora to Long with the new park located at the corner, we own all the road �
right-of-way; and currently the road is paved to Ark Street, and that we will be paving from Ark to Long
Street; and all of Long north and south will also be paved; on the bottom part of the map showing Long to i

Greenacres, he said we only own some sections of the road right-of-way and the County still owns over
half the right-of-way, so that section will not be paved until the County transfers that ownership to us.
Mr. Kersten said staff and the County met last fall and said that we had understood they were interested in
transferring that to the City, but said to this point that has not occurred; and before we formally take
control of that section, we will likely want to do a Level One Assessment since it is an old railroad; and
said that alone will take a few months, so the process to get ownership will be a while. Mr. Kersten said
the section from Greenacres to Barker has two roads, one on the north and one on the south, and they loop
around and come together at Wendy's; and said the entire stretch will be studied for the Greenacres Bike
Trail
There being no further business, it was moved by Councilmember Grafos and unanimously agreed to
adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m.

quality of water runoff. Furthermore, development of a welihead protection program with the
various water providers should provide guidelines to avoid possible contamination.
Policies contained in the Natural Environment chapter provide direction for development near
wellheads and in aquifer recharge areas. For a complete discussion of water resources and water
purveyors in the City of Spokane Valley, refer to the Capital Facilities chapter.
2.3.3 Parks and Open Space
One of the most important and valued elements of a high quality living and working environment is
a parks and open space system. Providing parks and open spaces contributes to a reduction in
environmental impacts such as noise and air pollution; increases the value of adjacent properties;
provides areas for passive and active recreation; and helps preserve the natural beauty of the City.
2.3.4 Natural Environment
Spokane Valley's natural beauty is apparent. Streams, wetlands, surrounding mountains and the
Spokane River provide a scenic backdrop as well as a source for active and passive recreation for
the citizens of Spokane Valley. The Land Use chapter seeks to protect Spokane Valley's unique
natural resources through policies that support the preservation of these areas for future
generations. The Natural Environment chapter also includes a discussion of critical areas as
defined by GMA. For a complete discussion, please refer to the Natural Environment chapter.
2.3.5 Housing
Housing is a basic human need and a major factor in the quality of life for individuals and families.
An adequate supply of affordable, attractive, and functional housing is fundamental to achieving a
sense of community. The central issue related to land use is supplying enough land to
accommodate projected growth for a range of incomes and households. Presently, housing is
provided primarily in single-family subdivisions.
This plan sets forth strategies to increase housing options and choices. The Land Use chapter
advocates changes to current development codes to increase flexibility in platting land and
encourage housing as part of mixed-use developments in commercial areas. The latter provides an
opportunity to locate housing closer to employment and shopping, and to create affordable housing.
A complete discussion of housing can be found in the Housing chapter.
2.4 Potential Annexation Areas
2.4.1 Projected Growth
In October 2003, the City of Spokane Valley received a 2000 population certification from the U.S.
Census Bureau that indicated 80,927 people called Spokane Valley home on April 1, 2000. As of
April 1, 2003 the population had grown to 82,005 (based on the Washington State Office of
Financial Management (OFM) population estimates). Upon incorporation on March 31, 2003, the
City of Spokane Valley became the state's ninth largest city and second largest in Spokane County.

�rr-�89�On June 9, 2009, the BoCC approved via Resolution 9�-9�09-0531 a population
allocation of 3�12518.746 for Spokane Valley for planning purposes.
2.4.2 Land Capacity Analysis
The GMA does not require a Population and Land Capacity Element to be included in the
comprehensive plan. However, GMA does require that Land Use, Housing and Capital Facilities
Elements include population densities, building intensities and estimates of future population
growth. The GMA also requires a Land Capacity Analysis, or the theoretical holding capacity of the
designated Urban Growth Areas, which by definition includes cities. By assigning the expected
population growth to the results of the Land Capacity Analysis, the area required to accommodate
the population growth is shaped.
Countywide population forecasts are identified by the CWPPs, as one criterion for consideration in
developing a regional methodology or countywide population allocation. The countywide growth
target is based on the OFM growth management population forecast for Spokane County.
The Land Quantity Analysis Methodology for Spokane County was developed through the efforts of
the Land Quantity Technical Committee between March 1995 and October 1995. The Growth
Management Steering Committee of Elected Officials adopted that methodology on November 3,
1995.
The adopted methodology is patterned after the Washington State Department of Community,
Trade and Economic Development's (CTED) land quantity inventory guidebook entitled Issues in
Designating Urban Growth Areas Part 1- Providing Adequate Urban Area Land Supply. Use of that
document was specified by the adopted Countywide Planning Policies (Policy Topic 1(Urban
Growth Areas Policy #3). However, the step-by-step CTED process was modified somewhat by the
Land Quantity Technical Committee to reflect unique circumstances in Spokane County. The
following steps of the regional methodology were followed by Spokane Valley in conducting the
land capacity analysis:

1. Identify lands that are potential candidates to accommodate future growth - vacant,
partially-used and under-utilized land (in other words, subtract all parcels committed to
other uses).
2. Subtract all parcels that the community d2fines as not developable because of physical
limitation.
3. Subtract lands that will be needed for other public purposes.
4. Subtract all parcels that the community determines are not suitable for development for
social and economic reasons.
5. Subtract that percentage of land that the community assumes will not be available for
development within the community plan's 20-year time frame.
6. Build in a safety factor.
7. Determine total capacity.
Spokane Vailey prepared a land capacity analysis of the city and surrounding UGAs based on the
above regional methodology. The results of the land capacity analysis are contained in the table
below:

Spokane Valley recommended to the Steering Committee that both the City of Spokane Valley and
the City of Liberty Lake receive an interim population ailocation that could be accommodated within
the existing city limits of each city. The rationale for this recommendation was based on the
situation regarding sanitary sewer throughout the entire Spokane region.
It is estimated that the Spokane County treatment plant will run out of capacity in 2009, and the
Liberty Lake Water & Sewer District treatment capability is currently at or near capacity. Permits to
expand the Spokane County and Liberty Lake plants from the Washington State Department of
Ecology and the Environmental Protection Agency are currently in doubt. Given the potential
constraint for both jurisdictions to provide this vital urban service, the Steering Committee
forwarded a recommendation to the Spokane County Board of County Commissioners to allocate
only the population that could be accommodated within existing city limits until such time as the
sanitary sewer issues are resolved.

City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
2.4.3 Potential Annexation Areas
The purpose of this section is to identify the unincorporated areas within the existing Spokane
County UGA that are adjacent to the City of Spokane Valley, which would comprise potential
annexation areas for the City. Map 2.2 indicates potential annexation areas (PAAs) for the City of
Spokane Valley.
Spokane County adopted its first comprehensive plan developed under GMA in 2001. A complete
examination of urban services was required at the time the County established the UGA, moreover,
Spokane County was obligated to comply with the State Environmental Policy Act. The County's
plan included the designation of a regional UGA, which included the still unincorporated area of
Spokane Valley. The County utilized the SEPA/GMA integration process to fulfill the environmental
review requirements of the plan including the designated UGA.
When Liberty Lake incorporated in 2001 and Spokane Valley incorporated in 2003 much of the
"Valley UGA" was included as part of the newly created cities, but not all. In 2003 and again in
2006, Liberty Lake completed annexations totaling 975.69 acres of the County designated UGA.
These annexations resulted in a nearly 34 percent increase (from 4.5 square miles to just over 6
square miles) in land area for Liberty Lake.

Ti-:•,.i ..�� � �
Several er#l�as�UGAs are e�y-contiguous to Spokane Valley ,
and would be logical areas for future annexation to the City of Spokane Valley. Spokane County
and the metro cities of Spokane Valley, Spokane, Liberty Lake and Airway Heights have begun the
process of updating the regional UGA consistent with the county wide planning policies (CWPPs).
Through this process, the City of Spokane Valley will identify areas needed to accommodate
allocated population growth by re-evaluating land quantity analysis and urban service delivery.
2.4.4 Development of Goals, Policies, and Actions for Annexation
The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires counties to designate Urban Growth Area (UGAs)
within which urban growth shall be encouraged RCW 36.70A.110 (1). UGAs are to include
sufficient land to accommodate the twenty-year population growth projected for the county. The
GMA imposes planning requirements to influence the ability of a city to annex UGAs. A city is
required by GMA to adopt policies for land use, housing, capital facilities, utilities, and
transportation within the city's UGA. In order to meet this requirement the City of Spokane Valley
has developed policies and goals to provide policy guidance for annexation of territory within UGAs.
Annexation will have financial impacts on the city; it may be positive or negative. The City may
need to develop an annexation study to
assess the financial impacts especially for
larger annexations. The Capital Facilities
chapter identifies current service
providers within the Potential Annexation
Areas (PAAs) as a starting point for the
detailed analysis that may be needed
prior to annexation. � , ��'-�-- '

4.4.2 Growth Assumption
On June 9, 2009, the Spokane County Board of Commissioners (BoCC) approved a population
allocation of 18,746 people for the City of Spokane Valley. The allocation is the amount of people
the City can accommodate within its current municipal boundary. In addition, the BoCC approved a
population allocation of 8,138 people for the unincorporated Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) adjacent
to the City of Spokane Valley. The City of Spokane Valley has identified the adjacent UGAs as
Potential Annexation Areas (PAAs). The City has identified existing service providers to help
determine the effects on existing levels of service in the event of annexation. Capital facilities
planning activities within these UGAs continue to be the County's responsibility.
The following population data is used for capital facilities planning purposes:

4.4.3 Level of Service
Cities are often defined by the quality of facilities and services that are provided to its residents.
Good road, sewer and water infrastructure are typical criteria used by businesses considering
relocation. Park and recreation facilities are increasingly used to judge the quality of a City.
Businesses want to locate where they can attract the best employees, and quality of life issues are
often the deciding factor for a person to move to a new area.
Level of service standards are quantifiable measures, such as acres of parks per 1000 people, or
the amount of time it takes to travel a road segment during peak morning and afternoon "rush
hours," the higher the level of service the higher the cost. This element establishes levels of
service which will be used to evaluate the adequacy and future cost of urban facilities and services.
4.4.3 Concurrency
The Growth Management Act introduces the concept of concurrency, which requires new
development to be served with adequate urban services at the time of development, or within a
specified time thereafter. The GMA allows six years for necessary transportation improvements to
be constructed as long as a financial commitment is made at the time of development. The GMA
strongly encourages concurrency for water and sewer, and it is good public policy to require the
same.
4.4.4 Financing Facilities and Services
The City is limited in its ability to finance all desired capital facility projects. Options must be
available for addressing funding shortfalls or decisions must be made to lower levels of service for
public facilities. In deciding how to address a particular shortfall, the City will need to balance
current needs versus future growth requirements; existing deficiencies versus future expansions.
Capital facilities plans must be balanced. When funding shortfalls occur, the following options
should be considered:
a. Increase revenues,
b. decrease level of service standards,

4.4.8 Domestic Water
The City of Spokane Valley does not own or operate a public water supply system. Rather, water is
provided to Spokane Valley residences and businesses by special purpose districts, associations,
and public and private corporations. Water service is coordinated by Spokane County through the
Coordinated Water System Plan (CWSP), which identifies service boundaries, establishes
minimum design standards and promotes the consolidation of regional water resource
management. The CWSP is updated as needed at the direction of the Board of County
Commissioners or the Washington State Department of Health (DOH).

insurance Rating
� �+��Fire departments "�,��Et}e��;����s--are assigned a numerical fire protection rating by
the Washington Surveying and Ratings Bureau. Insurance companies fund the Bureau to perform
on-site inspections of fire districts to determine the rating. The Bureau analyzes five main areas:
average response time, water supply, communication network, schedule of fire inspections and fire
station evaluations (which focus on age of vehicles), personnel training and staffing of facilities.
Insurance companies use the fire protection rating to help determine insurance rates on all fire
insurance policies. The rating is on a scale of one to ten, with one representing the best score.
Quality of fire service can have a significant impact on fire insurance rates, particularly for
commercial businesses. ns-t�-�°, 11�I1e���ire ^��;���,�=�VFD has a Fire
Insurance Rating of #e;s�three 3 and District No. 8 has a Rating of five�, both indicating �.�

Plan (LFMP) Usinp 2031 population estimates based on Spokane Countv GMA qopulation
allocations the LFMP addresses current and future faci�itv needs in each of its five qeopraphic
service areas• the Greater Spokane Valley North County Southeast Countv. Southwest Countv,
and Moran/Glenrose Prairie.
LFMP development included communitv research (customer and communitv telephone survevs,

Librarv should contain about 50 000 square feet of space and should be located on an arterial
street within about one-half mile of the Spra4ue corridor between Dartmouth and Everqreen Roads.
To better serve the Veradale and Greenacres areas a new neiqhborhood branch of approximatelv
12 000 square feet should be built on District-owned propert on Conklin Road, immediatelv south
of Spraaue Avenue A second new branch to serve the South Vallev shouid be built between
Dishman-Mica and Everqreen Roads on or immediatelv south of 32" Avenue.
Capital Projects and Financing Plan
The future main branch is estimated to cost $�415.56 million in ��g4--2010 dollars; the
neighborhood branch would cost about $�a5_1 million each `�^t°r � r^ ^°^°r^' nh
� �„ � r�� ��-���r;e ^f'�—.",�-�- Besides construction costs
and fees the estimates include librarv materials furnishin and epuipment Voter-approved
qeneral obliaation bonds are the normal financin4 method for library proiects of this size.
The District's Librarv Facilities Master Plan proposes a three phase capital improvement schedule
that includes all Spokane Vallev proiects in the first two phases. The earliest feasible date for a
District wide bond election to carrv out the qroposed projects is earlv 2013 which for purposes of
the schedule is Year 1.
Phase 1: Years 1 to 4

This section of the Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) provides summaries of the parks inventory, level of
service (LOS), future park needs, proposed projects, and a financing plan for the next six years.
Park Types
Parks are classified by their size, service area and function. Spokane Valley uses the nationally
recognized Park, Recreation, Open Space and Greenway Guidelines, to establish standard for
parks planning. Major classifications include mini-park, neighborhood, school-park, community,
large urban, various trail designations and special use facilities. The Parks Element, Chapter 9,
provides a thorough description of park types used for planning purposes.
Inventory of Existing Facilities
The Parks Map, found at the end of this Chapter, shows the location of all parks within Spokane
Valley. Table 4.13 provides an inventory of park and recreation facilities owned by Spokane Valley.
These parks are used to calculate Spokane Valley's level of service for parks. The Parks Master
Plan provides the most detailed inventory of parks, including equipment, structures and other
miscellaneous park facilities.

4.4.11 Public Safety
The Spokane Valley Police Department is a contract law enforcement agency, partnering with the
Spokane County Sheriff's Department to provide a safe environment for the citizens, businesses,
and visitors of the City of Spokane Valley. This unique contracting relationship allows for the
sharing of many of our resources, allowing both agencies to operate at peak efficiency without
duplicating services.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 4- Capital Facilities
Page 33 of 71
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
Spokane Valley also contracts with Spokane County for judicial, jail and animal control services.
The total contract for public safety for �89�-2011 totaled over $?-�--�15.3 million, including
I approximately 100 commissioned police officers.
Spokane Valley supports community oriented policing and recognizes it as an important
compiement to traditional law enforcement. In Spokane County, community policing is known as
S.C.O.P.E., or Sheriff Community Oriented Policing Effort. The community policing model balances
reactive responses to calls for service with proactive problem-solving centered on the causes of
crime and disorder. Community policing requires police and citizens to join together as partners in
the course of both identifying and effectively addressing these issues. About 364 Spokane Valley
citizens are S.C.O.P.E volunteers.
Community Survey
The Community Preference 8urvey included questions to gauge the public's perception of police
services. Results show that 85% of Spokane Valley residents believe police services are good,
very good, or excellent, indicating a generally high level of confidence in the police force. Only 27%
of respondents expressed a willingness to pay additional taxes to have improved police services.
Inventory of Existing Facilities
The Spokane Valley Police Precinct is located at 12710 E. Sprague and houses patrol and
detective divisions, the traffic unit and administrative staff. The Precinct also includes a�3�
�e�ac-�4+�,�-aa�l-a Spokane County District Court.
Spokane Valley is served by #�ue-four S.C.O.P.E. stations, shown in the following table.

Level of Service
Public safety is a priority for the City of Spokane Valley. It is difficult to determine at this time, an
adequate and measurable level of police protection. Spokane Valley will monitor the performance
of the Spokane County Sheriff's Department and will adjust the contract for services as necessary
to ensure an adequate level of police protection.
Forecast of Future Needs
Future needs for police protection will be determined as a part of the annual budget process.
Locations and Capacities of Future Facilities
Spokane Valley is not planning to construct any new law enforcement facilities at this time.

Ciry of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
In 1988, the intergovernmental agency known as the Spokane Regional Solid Waste System
(System) was formed by interlocal agreement between the City of Spokane, Spokane County and
all other cities and towns within the County. The System is responsible for implementing solid
waste management plans, planning and developing specific waste management programs and
updating solid waste plans for the entire County. The System is managed by the City of Spokane,
which uses its structure to carry out the various solid waste management programs for our region.
In Spokane Valley, solid waste services are provided by private haulers licensed by the Washington
Utility and Transportation Commission (W.U.T.C.) through franchise agreements. Waste
Management of Spokane provides residential and commercial garbage services and weekly
curbside recycling collection; Sunshine Disposal provides only commercial services. At this time,
Spokane Valley residents are allowed to self-haul their garbage to an appropriate dumping site.
Inventory of Existing Facilities
The Regional Solid Waste System includes a Waste to Energy facility located at 2900 South
Geiger, and two recycling/transfer stations. One of the stations is located within Spokane Valley at
3941 N. Sullivan Road south of Trent and across from the Spokane Industrial Park; the other is
located in north Spokane County at the intersection of Elk-Chattaroy Road and Highway 2.
Landfills are necessary to provide disposal for solid waste that cannot be recycled or incinerated, or
that exceeds the capacity of the WTE Facility. The Spokane County Regional Heaith District
licenses six privately owned landfills in Spokane County.
Level of Service
The minimum Regional Level of Service Standards requires solid waste services to meet all State
and Federal regulations.
Forecast of Future Needs
Spokane Valley is participating on the update of the Spokane County Waste Management Plan
(SCWMP). The SCWMP update process will determine future needs for solid waste disposal.
Locations and Capacities of Future Facilities
The updated Spokane County Solid Waste Management Plan will provide information on future
regional solid waste facilities.
Finance Plan
The updated Spokane County Solid Waste Management plan will include a financing plan for future
regional solid waste facilities.
4.4.15 Stormwater Facilities
Stormwater runoff in Spokane Valley flows to a combination of public and private facilities. In
I developed areas, runoff infiltrates into the qround or flows d�af;�—��a� y��r-Gn�' ��'�°^^�°F
#�t}to drywells in public road rights-of-way, drywells on private property and grassy swales with
overflow drywells in easements on private property.
There are advantages and disadvantages to relying on on-site facilities for all stormwater
management. One advantage is that on-site facilities are typically constructed with private funds
and can be integrated into the development as a green space amenity. However, on-site facilities
are sometimes not well maintained. Their capacity may be diminished over time or they may fail
entirely during large runoff events. On-site facilities may take up large portions of a development
site, thereby reducing the effective density that can be accommodated in that area.
In 2004, the Spokane Valley City Council created a stormwater utility to develop and maintain storm
� drainage systems on City owned ��;r land. To create revenues for the stormwater utility
operations, the Council adopted an annual fee per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). Residential
ERUs are based on the number of single-family dwellings, while Commerciat ERUs are based on
the square footage of impenrious surface associated with a business or commercial development.
Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 04-27-2010) Chapter 4- Capital Facilities
Page 47 of 71
City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
Inventory of Existing Facilities
Spokane Valley's inventory of stormwater facilities, most of which are integral to the safe function of
� our street system, consists of about ��927.200 drywells, �?�-1900 bio-infiltration swales, 's+�-61
detention ponds, and one retention pond. Other facilities include curb inlets, bridge drains, and
culverts, all of which require monitoring and maintenance. The retention pond, located at Dishman-
Mica Road. and 32" Ave., was constructed as a part of a road project and provides a disposal point
for water flowing from Chester Creek. The inventorv does not reflect stormwater structures located
I on private properties that do not serve the public street drainaae svstem.
Level of Service
The Spokane County Board of Commissioners adopted new regional level of service standards for
stormwater in 2004 as a part of the Countywide Planning Policies update_.-
"Flooding of propertv outside designated draina�e-wavs defacto drainaee-wavs,
easements,,flood zones or other �proved drainage facilities dz�r�in� the desirrn
prec�itation or rzrno� event prescribed in the standards of the Qovernin� local

discharge to sz�r ace or ,groz�nd waters marst meet federal, state and local
reguirements�or tivater gz[alitv treatment stormwater runo and infiltration. "
The standards reflect current best practices that are established in adopted stormwater design
guidelines. Spokane Valley follows said guidelines in reviewing and approving new development
and is therefore in compliance with the regional LOS standards for stormwater runoff.
Forecast of Future Needs
Spokane Valley will continue to use private, on-site treatment facilities for new development and will
install drywells, swales and other facilities as needed for new street improvement projects.
Locations and Capacities of Future Facilities
Location and capacities of future facilities is dependent on the location and size of new
development, future public street projects, and projects that will address current problem areas
within the City. Future updates to this Capital Facilities Plan will incorporate capital programming
for stormwater facilities.
Capital Projects and Financing Plan
� The City currently charges a�?2$21 annual stormwater utility fee per Equivalent Residential Unit
(ERU) to generate revenues for stormwater facility engineering, maintenance and administration,
I The stormwater fee is expected to generate � 1.8 million annually.
Transportation Facilities
Inventory of Existing Facilities
This section of the Capital Facilities Plan includes transportation facilities within Spokane Valley,
including streets, bridges, pathways and sidewalks. Street maintenance is not included as a part of
the Capital Facilities Plan.
Spokane Valley is responsible for about 455 miles of public roads, including 51 miles of Urban
Principal Arterials, 61 miles of Urban Minor Arterials, 44 miles of Urban Collectors, and 298.85
miles of Local Access Streets. Table 4.36 provides a list of all arterial intersections within Spokane
Valley.

Funding for the operation and expansion of the City's transportation system falls into several
categories, which include federal, state and city funds. Some sources consist of reliable annual
funds while others are periodic, such as grants. The use, availability and applicability of these
various sources are not always at the discretion of the City. Spokane Valley will develop a track
record with funding agencies as time goes on, which will help make to make more reliable funding
assumptions.
A summary of expected federal, state and local funding sources for the City's six year Capital
Improvement Program is shown in Table 4.39. The following is a summary of transportation
funding options.
Federal Assistance
These funds are authorized under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity
Act for the 21 Century (SAFETEA-21) and are administered by the Federal Highway
Administration through Washington State Department of Transportation and the Metropolitan
Planning Organization (Spokane Regional Transportation Council). Federal funding programs
include Bridge Replacement (BR), Congestion Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) and the
Surface Transportation Program (STP).
State Assistance
The Washington State Transportation Improvement Board administers State transportation
programs, including the Urban Corridor Program (UCP), the Urban Arterial Program (UAP), and the
Sidewalk Program (SP).
Citv Funds
Spokane Valley contributes revenues from the General Fund and the Real Estate Excise Tax funds
for transportation projects. The City also receives State Motor Fuel Tax and Restricted State Fuel
Tax.

Potential Annexation AreaslUrban Services
The Growth Management Act requires that counties designate urban growth areas (UGAs). The City of
Spokane Valley identified lands adjacent to the City within existing UGAs that would likely be developed
for urban uses and potentially be annexed to the City. In order to assess the need for capital facilities, the
City has identified existing service providers within the Potential Annexation Areas (PAAs). This
assessment should help identify the effects a potential annexation area will have on existing levels of
service.

,
Mr. Basinger gave a brief staff repo� on each of the proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendments:
CPA-01-11: This amendment is a privately initiated site-specific map amendment
located at Sprague and Progress. The request is to change the Comprehensive Plan
designation to Neighborhood Commercial. Staff has also recommended adding two
parcels which a�•e adjacent to these in order to not leave pockets of alteinatively
zoned land sui7•ounded by another zoning district, This amendment however will
not be necessary if CPA-03-11 were to be moved forward as requested.
CPA-02-11: This is a privately initiated site specific map amendment located at 503
N Walnut Road. This amendment is being proposed by St. John Vianney Catholic
Parzsh. This parcel is currently a parking lot seiving the church. The request is to
change this parcel from low density residential to medium density residential. Mr
Basinger stated that at the last meeting when the question came up as to whether or
not Valleyway wautd. have ta be develaped to become a tkraugh street. M��.
Basinger stated that after a discussion with Development Engineering, at the time of
development the property owner would be required to dedicate an easement to the
City for future development; however, it would require redevelopment of the
prope��ty to the south in order for a complete street to be put in.
CPA-03-11: This amendment is council initiated to remove the Sprague and
Appleway Coi7idors Subarea Plan. This proposed amendment is remove the area in
the Subarea Plan from the Comprehensive Plan and the Development Code. All
areas will be retuined to the Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations as they
were at the time the plan was adopted in October of 2007.
CPA-04-11: This is a staff initiated amendment, Chapter 2— Land Use: Tabla 2.1,
Spokane Valley UGA Land Capacity Analysis, will reflect new population numbers

CPA-07-11: This is a staff initiated amendment, Chapter 7— Economic
Development: Map 7.1 will display new building pei7nits and land use actions in

Director McClung introduced Acting City Attorney Cary Driskell who would be
explaining a mezno the Commissioners received regarding laws which affect
religious facilities. Mr. Driskell stated the memo was addressing if the City had
authority to deny a religious institution's request for a rezone if the institution
wishes to build a multifamily housing near its o�vn facility for low-income and
senior living in order to fulfill its religious mission. Mr. Driskell stated there was a
Federal law called the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act
(RLUIPA} which proliibits land use and zoning laws whei�e it substantially burdens
the religious exercise of churches and other religious assemblies or institutions,
unless the implementation of that is the least restrictive means of doing so. In
simple tertns the City would look to see if the requested action was �vithin the
mission statement of the religious facility and if it is then that would be the answer
to the question if the Ciry would be able to deny the action. Mr. Driskell went on to
state that the coui�ts have looked at this subject and ruled that assisting the needy is
within the mission statements of the chtuches. Mr Driskell also stated that in
Washington, the Coui�t has held that the Constitutional protections for fi•ee exercise
of religion are not limited to houses of worship, but extend to church facilities
intimately associated with the church's religious mission. As such, it is likely that a
religious institution could establish that prohibiting fhe religious institution from
building housing for low-income and senior citizans would present a substantial
burden on its religious exercise. In short Mr. Driskell stated that if it is in the
church's mission statement then the local authority does not have the right to deny a
rezone, such as tlie one that has been requested. Comrnissioners asked questions of
the Acttng City Attorney regarding the strength of the la1v, rights of neighbors,
tivhether it ivas a' cun't prohibit' or• a`shoteldn't prohibit'. Mr. Driskell stuted that
the lativs did not give rnore rights to the chzrrch jacst granted different rights to
religioirs institutions and that the City shoialdn't deny the requested action.
Kar]a Kaley, 10516 � lYlain: Ms. Kaley stated she was speaking against the
removal of Suba��ea Plan, CPA-03-11. Ms. Kaley stated she had lived in other
comrnunities and had seen what short sighted plan.ning can do. Ms. Kaley stated
she hoped to encourage and inspire the Commission to do the right thing. Ms.
Kaley stated that this a��ea is ripe for growth and developrnent. By the year 2413
and Federal government standards, this area could become the 4th the largest
metropolitan area in the countiy. This metro area should be in line for new money,
the Subarea Plan is currently the only vehicle to direct our growth, Ms. Kaley
stated. Ms. Kaley said it is a cultural and an economic plan. Ms. Kaley shared that
in 2003 the citizens of this area thought they could do a better job than the county,
so they incorporated and became a city. Citizens must have enough energy and stay
03-10-11 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 11
the course, she shared. The Subu�ea Plan is not responsible for the economy and
decline of this area. Ms. Kaley stated that she felt that indecision, lack of planning,
and ineffective leadership were the problams. Ms. Kaley also shared in times like
these it is important to remember there have always been times like these. Ms.
Kaley said please do not let fea�r mongering drive this decision, this is alarmist and
unnecessarily paralyzing. Ms. Kaley said that doing the right thing does not always
mean you always win, get recognized or even cut off your feet in the end and tlu•ow
out your had work, but sometimes it means going on the record trying to do the
right thing, supporting having a planning effort. There is no other plan there is no
other road map or direction for our city to grow. The general mixed use zoning is
not the answer said Ms. Kaley. Please consider to move forward with a concerted
coordinated planning effort, maybe provide a modified recommendation, or suggest
some alternatives, but to throw the plan out is ii7esponsible and reckless especially
in the absence of a substitute, Please do the right thing Ms. Kaley requested.
Diana Wilhi#e, PO Sox 14932; Ms. Wilhite is speaking in favor of the Subarea
Plan. Ms, Wilhite stated that she thought everyone was ativare that she worked on
the Subarea Plan. Ms. Wilhite stated that in hindsight maybe the council had bit off
more than it could chew. Ms. Wilhite also stated she did not feel that throwing the
entu�e Subarea Plan out was the best thing to do. She said there are some good
elements of it, it should be looked at, move forward with those. She also said she
undexstood that once the City gets rid of plan, there is no plan for grovath and
economic development. Ms. Wilhite wanted to clarify that during the time the
Council was adopting the Subarea Plan people thought we were talking about a 42
million dolla� plan. She said people thought the City was going to go out and spend
$42 million right away. Ms, Wilhite stated she was a small business owner and she
understood making priorities and spending $42 million right off the get go was not
part of the plan, But we did have a plan and what we asked for in that plan was if
we did everything in the plan, how much would it cost, Council did think that was
quite a bit of money, and they never expect to pay that right away. One of the
things Council did discuss doing soon was hu�ning Sprague back to two-way. Ms.
Wilhite stated that it was estimated to cost $2.7 million to turn Sprague back to a
two-way street fi•om University to Argonne. Ms. Wilhite stated she has talked to
other small business owners, like herself, and they have told her the one-way street
has impacted their businesses. Ms. Wilhite said that she understands that people
compare Ruby and Division couplet. She said you have to think about that couplet,
that couplet has streets every block. We don't have that, we have few cross streets.
Ms, Wilhite said we need to think about helping our business. Ms, Wilhite said, she
understood that $2.7 million was a lot of money, but that she knew the staff and
they would work to be able to come up with it. She said she knew the City could
change it back with signals atid striping. Ms. Wilhite said she had hea�•d people say
they did not want to make Appleway a two-way street but you cannot have one one-
way street, unless you have a corresponding street going the other way. It could be
possible tto make Appleway a two-way street possibly with a higher speed limit to
make the people who wanted to get home faster happier. There a�e less egresses
into the road now, leave the businesses to develop on Sprague. Ms. Wilhite stated
that a business, like Trader Joe's will not build on a one-way street like ours. Ms.
03-10-1 I Planning Commission Mimrtes Page 4 of 11
Wilhite also stated that a national site selector was recently in the City and stated he
would not locate on Sprague because there are too many vacant buildings, traffic
flow is only going one-way, they needed two-way teaffic. Ms. Wilhite asked that if
it was necessary to eliminate the plan, what pieces of it could be retained, like the
two-way so it can be discussed and sea how it can help the businesses.
Susan Scott, 2Q5 S Evergreen: Ms. Scott is spoke in favor of the elimination bf
the Subarea Plan. Ms, Scott stated that the need for the Subarea Plan had been
based on county zoning from 2003. Ms, Scott said that the Comprehensive Plan
and the 2007 zoning addressed the retail surplus and introduced the Mixed Use zone
concept. Ms. Scoft said she did not think that this zoning was given a chance to
work before the Suba�ea Plan meetings were begun. Ms. Scott stated that the
Subarea Plan was r�nitten to undei�vrite the deficits in the location of the city
center, �vithout a city center, Ms. Scott feels the City doesn't need the Subarea
Plan. Ms. Scott feels the corridor has been in an upheaval for too long for many
reasons, one of them being the Subarea Plan, Ms. Scott asked to have the Plan
revoked and for the City to retuin to the 2007 zoning.
Philip Rudy, 5647 N Fruithill Dr, 720 N Argonne: Dr, Rudy spoke in favor of
retaining the Suba��ea I'lan. Dr, Rudy stated he would like to see Sprague and
Appleway be tu;�ned to two-way all the way from fieeway, for environmental,
economic and neighborhood reasons. Dr. Rudy stated that rivo way helps retail, if
you have one-way and the cars a�•e all going past the businesses and if you miss
your turn you cannot get back due to the absence of cross streets. Dr Rudy
explained that one-way roads impact neighborhoods, using Winco and Farr road as
an example. If a motorist misses the turn off for Winco, they travel to University
and back down 4` Ave, a small quiet neighborhood to get back to the store, or got
to Argonne, Broadway or Valleyway and down Fai�•, though the neighborhood, Dr.
Rudy also talked about how the old zoning would have made a problem for him
when he wanted to build on property he owned on Sprague Ave and how it would
not have been allowed then but the Subarea Plan would hava allowed his wishes.
Dr Rudy stated he thought the City should consider allowing people to have
Subar Plan zoning if t1�ey zvould want to, Dr. Rudy stated the most important
issue is the ttivo-way.
Chuck Simpson, 9003 � Catalda, 9 N A,rgonne: Mr. Simpson stated he was
speaking as a citizen in support of keeping the Subarea Plan, Mr. Simpson stated
that the City needed to get Sprague involved and to becoma active. Mr. Simpson
also stated he felt the need for a focus point, libra�•y, community center, or a city
hall, but it needed soniething to identify the area, Mr. Simpson stated that the
Subarea Plan should only be a block or two. As an engineer, Iv[�. Simpson feels the
type of buiiding and location should be determined by site topography and the
developer. Mr, Simpson stated it is difficult to get around on the one way streets.
Mr. Simpson stated he has hea�d that major firms will not build on a one-way, if
this is tcue then consideration should be given to changing the roads so that we can
get more businesses back on Sprague.
Eldo�na Shaw, 13805 E 28 Ms. Shaw stated that although she might normally
be speaking for a group, however this evening she is speaking as a citizen, a
03-10-11 Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 11
residential propeity owner. Ms. Shaw stated she was concei�ned about the
community �rowing and property values holding. Ms. Shaw said the City is no
longer the 7 largest city but the lp could it be because we are not the community
of choice, this is also a concern. Ms Shaw stated that our community is not the
most attractive and the area between University and the freeway west bound, Ms,
Shaw stated that this is not going to stop being an urban community not going to
stop being a city. Ms. Shaw explained if the business community was not able to
maintain the tax base, it would fall on the residendal property owners. Ms. Shaw
stated that the residents of this City can't wear blinders, and the City cannot
continue to grow with no plan. She said that what you see on Sprague Ave. now
had been developed without a plan. Ms. Shaw stated we need to think about the
future, we need a plan. We need a city we can be proud of. We need the core of
our city to be healthy, a place where people want to invest money. Ms. Shaw said
the City needs progressive thinking about our future,
Richard Belxm, 9405 E Sprague Ave: Mr. Behm spoke in favor of keeping the
Subarea Plan. N1r Behm stated businesses a�•e having a hard time surviving the one-
way street. Mr. Behm said he was glad when the Council re-visited each of the
zones made changes to accommodate. Mr. Behtn said if the Subarea Plan is
eliminated, Sprague will continue decline, Mr. Behm stated he felt that the present
council and a few other people have driven this request, Mr. Behm asked that the
City suivey the citizens. He said many citizens do not understand what is actually
going on. Many citizens think the Subarea Plan only has to do with the one-way
two-way issue. Mr, Behm feels that having a plan in place and modifying it, is
better than no plan at all. Mr. Behn suggested that it could be possible for
Appleway to become an expressway, with limited access. Mr. Behm said that
promises from the County were not kept, regarding how the one-way road came to
be, this lead to the business suppoiting the incoiporation the City. The Spokane
Valley Business Associate had a study done by Gonzaga to show the decline of tha
coiYidor since the installation of the one-way system, He said big businesses will
not locate on one-way streets. Mr. Behm said that the City needs a long range plan,
if not the Subarea Plan, then what.
Mike King, 9300 E. Sprague: Mr. King was speaking in favor of keeping the
Subarea Plan. Mz•. King stated that the Subarea Plan is designed a�'ound the city
center, a core, it should be a place for families and a place the City can be proud of,
without a City Center there is no heark, and no soul. Mr. King said that some
business did not like the Plan, he thought the City could find places to could change
instead o£ throwing out. The Plan is pliable and be molded with the climate. He
said the City should not eliminate it, it is a plan, with no other plan, you start
eliminating business. He said when you begin to eliminate businesses you eliminate
the tax base, and government has to be fed. Mr. King added without the business
the residents will have to pay the difference. Mr. King also feels that the one-way
kiss of death for businesses. Mr. King said he did a comprehensive study a yea�•
ago of the area between University and Argonne, and found there was 100 years of
vacancies on this part of the coi7idor since the one-way was put in, as a way to
funnel t�•affic around the fi•eeway. Mr. King shared that in the last two weeks he
had been made aware of 2 major business will not move into the valley because of
03-10-11 Planning Commission Minutes Page 6 of 11
the one-way on Sprague and the decline of the corridor, Without a plan, Sprague
will continue to decline, taxes will decline to the benefit of people who want to get
some place faster and want the two-way. Mr. King said we need a plan, we can
change it mold it but don't just give it up,
Marie Raschko-Soko, 201.0 S Sunrise Rd: Ms Raschko-Soko was speaking in
favor of CPA-02-11. Ms. Raschko-Soko said that the church was a good neighbor,
the auditorium was built in 1949 and the church and school was built in 1953, the
new chutch was built in 1988. Ms Raschko-Soko stated she felt that the church has
a good histary in the neighborhood. She also shared some sales infoimation of the
homes on Walnut and Fair, stating that 60% residents had moved in since 2000.
Ms. Raschko-Soko said that the church is concerned about the neighborhood, it
wants to paitner with the neighbors. Ms. Raschko-Soko stated that she felt that a
mistake the church made was it did not provide good cammunity education, The
church wants to provide senior housing, it is a part of the church's mission as a
catholic church to provide services to the elderly, the �i�ail and vulnerable. Ms.
Raschko-Sako said that the elderly is the fastest growing population in the nation
today, most are living in senior housing. Many thought that they would not be in
these circumstances to requue they type of housing. Tt is our belief as a parish,
that a residential neighborhood is an ideal place for senior housing, it will also
provide inter-generationalized activities with the school, which they ara already
doing but leaving the propei�ty to do now.
Patricia Wardian, X2022 E 4 Ave: Ms. Wardian spoke favor of CPA-02-11.
Ms, Wa�•dian stated she has been member since it was founded, She feels that this
project would be a benefit to the neighborhood and ta the children.
Niavou��neen Daspit, 505 n Farr Rd.: Ms. Daspit spoke in £avor of CPA-02-11.
Ms. Daspit stated she and her husband are members af the neighborhood and
church, and she works at the church. Ms. Daspit stated that the church has a policy
of helping the needy whether they are catholic or not. The church has distributed
more than 2 tons of food per year, $50,000 electrical bills, medical bills. Ms.
Daspit stated that because of the assistance program, she sees the need in the
neighborhood that this housing could provide.
�helly �tevens, 312 N Walnt�t Rd.: Ms. Stevens spoke against CPA-02-11. Ms
Stevens said she held a neighborhood meeting, felt democracy was taking place.

Amendment team for this year, Associate Planner Lori Barlow and Assistant
Planner, I�aren Kendall. Mr. Basinger explainad that due to the time consh•aints
from the last meeting, staff wi11 be having a study session on the Comprehensive
Plan amendments prior to the public hearing, whereby the Commissioners will be
able to ask questions before tha public hearing starts.
Sr. Planner Basinger explained why the City has an Comprehensive Plan and how
the annttal amendments are proposed and taken care o£ The Comprahensive Plan is
a road map to guide future development and growth in our City. Amendments
every year allow the plan to be updated and remain cuiY�ent wlule allowing citizens
to request changes, such as site specific map changes, of which there a�•e two this
year. Mr. Basinger stated that each amendment would be reviewed individually,
CPA-01-11: This amendment is a privately initiated site-specific map amendment
located at Sprague and Progress. This amendment is 1Q parcels which includes a
small sti7p mall and some single family housing. Staff has also recommended
adding two parcels which are adjacent to these in order to not leave pockets o£
alternatively zoned land sui�ounded by another zoning disri•ict, This amendment
however will not be necessary if CPA-03-11 were to be moved £orward as
• requested. The request is to change the Comprehensive Plan designation to
Neighborhood Commercial,
CPA-02-11: This is a privately initiated site specific map amendment located at 503
N Walnut Road. This amendment is being proposed by St. John Vianney Catholic
Paiish. This parcel is currently a parking lot serving the chttrch. The request is to
change this parcel from low density residential to medium density residential.
02-24-11 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 9
CPA-03-11: This amendment is council initiated to remove the Sprague and
Appleway Coi�ridors Subarea Plan. This proposed amendment is to remove fhe area
in the Subarea Plan from the Comprehensive Plan and the Development Code. All
areas will be returned to the Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations as they
were at the time the plan was adopted in October of 2007.
CPA-04-11: This is a staff initiated amendment, Chapter 2— Land Use: Table 2.1,
Spokane Valley UGA Land Capacity Analysis, will reflect new population numbers
within the City of Spokane Valley. Map 2.1, Land Use, will display land usa
designation changes approved tluough the 2011 amendment process.
Commissioners asked how the Board of County Commissioners based their
population allocations. 1V1�. Basinger attempted to explain how the Technical
Planning Committee made a recommendation for the population allocations and the
County Commissioners made the decision for these allocation numbers.
CPA-OS-11 This is a staff initiated amendment, Chapter 3— Transpoi Map
3,2, Bike and Pedestrian System, will display newly developed bike and pedestrian
infrastructure. Commissioner Wooda��d asked if this amendment was passed is it
binding to the City. Sr. Planner Basinger explained that the map contains existing
infrastiucture as well as proposed infi astructure. However, none of the proposed
infrastilicture is binding and does not need to be clone next year or the year after,
and it would depend on funding but it was put on the map based on the
community's vision for these types of facilities.
CPA-06-11: This is a staff initiated amendment, Chapter 4— Capital Facilities and
Public Seivices; Amendments will incorporate changes in the 6-year
Transpoitation Improvement Plan (TIP} into the Capital Facilities Plan to ensure
consistency. Amendments will update special puzpose dis#rict's and other city
service provider's facility and service data. Capital proj ects such as city hall, parks,
and a public works storage facility will be included for the use of REET funding.
Maps 4.1, �.2, and 4.5 will display updates to reflect the latest capital facilities and
public seivices. Amendments will also update the growth assumptions to reflect
population allocation numbers approved by the Spokane County Board of
Commissioners. Mr. Basinger pointed out that if projects are not included in the
Comprehensive Plan then the REET funds cannot be used for them. There was also
discussion regarding growth assumptions and how our City does not plan capital
facilities within the UGA's, Shortly after incoiporation the City Manager
determined that the City would not plan for service into the UGAs. The UGAs are
not allocated to our city by the county. Commissioner Woodard wondered how the
level of seivice for the parks depai was amended. Mr. Basinger stated that the
Planning Commission could make a different level if they thought something
different level was more appropriate.
CPA-07-11: This is a staff initiated amendment, Chapter 7— Economic
Development: Map 7.1 will display new building permits and land use actions in
the 2010 development cycle. The question came up as to if there was a limit on
permits or was it any permit? The answer was any permit,
02-24-11 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 9
CPA-08-11: This is the Iast amendment and also staff initiated, Chapter 8-- Natural
Environment: Map 8.3 will display the field inventoty work done in conjunction
with DNR to update stream typing in Spokane Valley. Map 8.4 has been updated to
reflect the cun•ent FEMA Flood Rate Insurance Maps. Mr. Basinger stated there
were places on Sprague Ave and Trent that stated there were classified ass fish
bea��ing streams and these needed to be updated.
Mr. Basinger stated that staff would recommend that the Comrnission take action on
CPA-03-11 which refers to the Subarea Plan, before it addresses the amendment of
CPA-Ol-11. Mr. Basinger pointed out that if the recommendation is for the Subarea
Plan to go away then amendment in CPA-01-11 is not necessary.
Commissioner Ca�7�o11 asked if there had been any comments received fi•om the
adjoining parcels in CPA-01-11. Ms. Kendall stated there had been no written
comments received from either party but had been aware that there had been some
dialog between the proponents and Mr. Jankowski one of the parcel owners.
Cornmissioner Cai7�ol1 asked what other uses are on site for CPA-02-11, which the
reply was a church and a K-8 school.
Commissioner Cai�roll asked in regard to CPA-03-11 if there had been any
additional stiidies or surveys done by staff or City Council as to why this
amendment is necessaiy, Ms. Barlow answered not that she was aware o£.
Commissioner Carroll asked if there were any alternative plans in place or being
proposed; Ms. Barlow stated there was nothing other than to go back to the
designations and zoning that were previously in place. Commissioner Cai�roll asked
if the only change has been the City Council itself and Ms. Barlow stated that she
had documented the community meetings and the comments received £rom them
stated that some o£ the regulations in the Subarea Plan were hardships and
unwarranted, in the opinion of the public commenting. Commissioner Mann asked
how many people commented at the meetings, Ms. Barlow stated that each meeting,
o£ which there were five, had varying amounts o£ attendance and input, but the
largest had 30-40 people in attendance and it decreased at each meeting after. A
question was asked how many meetings were held to put the plan in place, Ms.
Barlow stated that she thought that there were probably 100 meetings.
Commissioner Sands stated we are not having the same level of discussion to
remove the plan as was had to implement the plan. Ms. Barlow stated that staf£ was
following the required protocol for notifications for such an amendment, that sta£f
was following all of the City's and the State's procedures for minimum notification
requirements. Commissioner Woodard asked if any input had been received on this
amendment, Ms. Barlow stated that the amendment was pai of the whole list of
annual amendments and she had not received a letter, email or phone call regarding
this amendment. Commissioner Mann wondered if the public was actually aware of
what was going on. Commissioner Hall asked if he remembered that City Council
stated l�e thought £rom the Conncil Retreat that it was considered to do a citizen
survey but was it geared to tfie City Hall or the Sprague Avenue area? Ms. Barlow
stated she could not comment on the Council Retreat, however Director McClung
stated she did not feel that the survey was being geared to the Sprague Ave, but
more to economic development for the whole city. Mr. Hall thought that the
02-24-11 Pla�ing Commission Minutes Page 4 of 9
Subarea Plan could be a part of that survey, The Director did not feel the
conversation was about the Subarea Plan, but about where the City Hall might go.

Chair Carroll opened the public hearing by reading the iules at '7,20 p.m.

the Commission. Cornmissioner Sunds asked about Mr. Janko�vski abozrt his

2. Individual notice of the map amendment proposal was mailed to all properiy owners within 400 feet of
each affected site.
Ordinance 11-009 Page 3 of 5
3. Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA — RCW 43.21C) environmental checklists were
required for the proposed comprehensive plan map and text amendment.
4. Staff reviewed the environmental checklist and a threshold determination was made for the
comprehensive plan amendment request. A Determination of Non-significance (DNS) was issued for the
requested comprehensive plan amendment on February 4, 2011.
5. The DNS was published in the City's official newspaper on February 4, 2011 consistent with the City
Environmental Ordinance.
6. The Spokane Valley Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on February 24, 2011, to consider
the proposed amendment. After hearing public testimony, the Commission made recommendations on
CPA-03-11.
7. The planning goals of the Growth Management Act (GMA) were considered and the proposed
amendments are consistent with the GMA.
8. The goals and policies of the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan were considered and the proposed
amendments are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
9. The proposed zoning designations are consistent with the current use of the properties.
10. Findings were made and factors were considereii to ensure compliance with approval criteria
contained in Section 17.80.140 H. (Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide rezones) of the
UDC.
11. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and text amendments will not adversely affect the public's
general health, safety, and welfare.
12. The City has provided notice and engaged in a public process to ensure citizen participation pursuant
to RCW 36.70A.035, RCW 36.70A.130 and RCW 36.70A.140, providing the public an opportunity
to be heard on the dates set forth in the findings and recitals above. The notice provided and meetings
identified constitute early and continuous public participation in the consideration of this proposed
amendment to the comprehensive plan and map.
13. The City Council does not accept the Findings of the Planning Commission for the reasons set forth
in these Findings of Fact as well as the following:
a. At the time the Subarea Plan was approved, the City of Spokane Valley intended to make
significant investments in the City Center area designated on that plan through the purchase of
property on which it would construct and operate a new City Hall as well as construct
improvements to streets and streetscapes adjacent to the new City Hall; and
b. The plan for the development of the City Center property also included the construction of a
Library within its boundaries; and
c. The voters of the City rejected a bond proposal by the Spokane County Library District to
construct a library within the City Center properiy; and
d. The City no longer has plans for the purchase of property within the Subarea plan or for the
construction of a public facility; and
e. Economic conditions in Spokane Valley, the State of Washington and the Country as a whole
have changed significantly since the Subarea Plan was adopted and the Subarea Plan is not longer
realistic or feasible in the current economic circumstances; and
f. The Subarea and subsequent development regulations did not allow a number of specific uses in
certain zones, imposed design standards on all zones, required future roads to be constructed, and
imposed certain setback, signage and parking standards separate and distinct from those imposed
on the remainder of the City and those restrictions and the lack of fle�bility found in the Subarea
Plan have increased the cost of development and has had a negative impact on economic
development and had a negative impact on employment and job creation; and
Ordinance 11-009 Page 4 of 5
g. Uncertainty resulting from the adoption and implementation of the Subarea Plan has negatively
impacted development within the Subarea Plan, stymied economic development and resulted in a
single building permit application since the time the Subarea Plan was adopted; and
h. The City has been made aware of potential development that could occur within the Subarea that
currently is precluded by the current designations; and
i. A number of uses, buildings and signs have been made non-conforming by the adoption of the
Subarea Plan and development regulations implementing the same; and
j. Testimony before the City Council and Planning Commission has demonstrated both the
economic hardships and the desire to remove the current limitations from both citizens and
property owners within the Subarea.

Plan is hereby amended by repealing E�ibit A: Sprague and Appleway Corridors Subarea Plan, Book I:

Re: Planning Commission Fiadil�gs and Recominendation: CPA-03-11, Removal of
the Subarea Plan
Background:
The Sprague Appleway Corridors Subarea Plan (Subat•ea Pian) was adopted in June 2009 and
became effective on Oetober 15, 2�09. FolIowing the plan adoption, Council directed staff
to review the plan on a zone by zone basis with affected property owners, business operators
and interested citizens. Public meetings were conducted from May 2010 fhrough September
2010. Cify Council passed a motion on October 26, 2014 to place tl�e elimination of the
Subarea Plan fi•oin the Comprehensive Plan and reinstate the 2007 pre-Subarea Plan
Comprehensive Plan and Zonii�g designations. The item was added to the Comprehensive
Plan Amendment Docket to be pracessed in conjunctian with the annual amendtnents. The � �
proposal is described as folloti�vs: �
Remove the entire Spragae and Appleway Corridors Subarea Plan and
associated zoning designations, and return those areas to the City of
Spokane Valley zoning in effect on Octobei 15, 2009. Associated
Comprehensive Plan and Development Code text Amendments necessary to
remove all reference to the Subarea Plan are also cansidered.
The Planning Conunission held a public hearing on Februaty 24, 2011 and continued the
public hearing to March 10, 2011, After hearing pl2blic testimony and deliherations, the
Planning Commission recommends denial of the proposal.
The Planning Commission finclings, conclusions and recammendation are summarized
below:
Findings:
1. SVMC 17,$O.I40(H) states that the City may approve Comprehensive Plan amendments,
based on the specific findings and factors. The Planning Com:mission's findings aie
itulicized.
Findin�s
a. The proposed amendment bears a substantial �•elationship to the public heal#h,
safety, welfare, and protection of the environment;
iof4
The Planning Co�nrnission is co»ce��ned that if tha plan is elirninated the
conditions along the corrrdor y�Jill continz�e !o decline 1vilhout u plan to provide
guidance and stabiliry for future development. The Cornrraission is also concerned
thut sufficient public input has �ot been sortght to deter�ntine coniniunity support
or oppositiort to the Subal�ea Plan and 8elieve that the comrnunity shotdd be
surueyed to determirre lvhat cornponents of the Subaf�ea Plun shotsld be r�etained;
The Comrnissron believes that it is not in the public i�tef�est �o rnove rnto the
f�tt���e tiyifhout a pla� to revitalize the Corridor•.
b. The proposed amendment is cansistent with the requirements of RCW 36.70A and
with the portion of the City's adopted plan not affected by the amendmenf;
Eliminalion of the strbarea plan ivill not cuuse the contp�eherasive plan to be
inconsistent 3vith the GMA, and it tivill not cut�se the developrnent regulatiarrs to
be inconsistent �vith the gouls and policies of the plun.
c. The proposed amendment respoi�ds to a substantial chan�e in conditions beyond �
the prope��ty owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject �
prope�-ty lies;
The Comrnission belieti�es that the S'ubareu Plan hus been inacctsrately identified as
the reason for� a decr•ease in developfnent along the corridor and ittt•thei� that the
decr�ease is a symp�om of the state of the econorny. is a long ter�rn plun that
pt•ovide.s directiorr, und rf hcrs not been given adequute time for implententatio».
Pz�Ulic revie�v of the Szrba�•eu Plan has led to ntnneroz�s chunges add�•essing
proper�ty oyvner concer�ns. The amount of cr•itical input af the SubUf•ea Plan has
been minor in contparison 10 the amount of inprat received in the developntent of
the Sttbarea Plan. The Corrrrr7ission is concea�ned that eliminating the Suburea
Plan sends the nressage to the develap�ttent community of instability and appeat•s
to udds•ess the specific needs of a small mino�•ify of >>ocal citizens.
d. The proposed amendment conects an obvious mapping error; and .
The amendment does nat cor��ect an obviotcs nauppi�g e��ror.
e. The proposed amendment addresses an identif ed deficiency in the Comprehensive
Plan.
The COI)13YIlSSlOY1 has not identified a deftciency in the Comprehensive Plan.
Hox�ever, the Corr�rnission notes thut the Subarea Plan may not be fi{Ily suppoi•ted
Gy the Cornr�runify and advocates that the plarr contrrttre to be stirdieci and modifred
uccordingly. Additionally, the Co»rmrssion believes ihut the comr�tuniry shot�ld be
sul�veyed utilizrng a statistically valid rnethod to detet�mine cormntsnity opinion.
Factors:
a. The effect upon the physical anvironment;
Pursuant to Title 21 {Environnzental Controls) of the City of Spokarie Valley
Mztnicipul Code, the lead ugency has deter•ntzned that ihe pt•oposed amendf�zent
does no� have u pt•obable signifrcant adver�se impuct o�t the envil�on�rrent.
b. The effect on open space, streams, rivers, and lakes;
2of4
The proposed a�nendf�ient is a non �roject arnendnzent and zvill not affect open
spuce, streams, f�ivers, and lakes.
c. The compatihility wifh and irrtpact on adjacent land uses and sui�•ounding
neighborhaods;
The previot�s cornprehensive plar� land use designations und zoning �vere
estublished consrstent �t�ith the goals and �olicies of the comprehensive �lan
adopted on April 25, 2006.
d. The adequacy of land impact on community facilities including utilities, roads,
public transpo�•tation, parks, recrea#ion and schools;
Elirninating the �lan does not c��eate, nor� addj•ess knoivn impacts, btrt allotivs far•
conditions to continue.
e. The benefit to the neighborhood, city and regian;
The Planning Commission finds that eliminating the Strbarea Plan is abandoning
the businesses located ulong the corj•idor•. Bitsiness has suffer•ed alang the one-
tivays and the corl�idor continues to decline. The Ciry has a responsrbility to all
segments of the cornmtrrrity, and the bzcsinesses along the corr•idor� represent rr
consideruble portion of the city's sales tax f�even:ie. Business's lvest of Univel�sity
are suffering as a result of the one-tii�ay couplet. Coml�zitments tiver mude by the �
City to inct visibility and access. The city has u commit�nent to support the
businesses along the cof�ridof• recognizing thei�• irnpo�•tant sules tax r�evenr�e
contribution that si�pparts the services provided by the cily to its residents.
f. Tl;e quantity and Iocation of land ptanned for the proposed land use type and
density, and the demand for such land;
The Sztbat•ea Plan contains approximately 1, 000 ucres of ttnder�utilized Zand, The
pr•oposal lvoirld ��etztr•n ull acf•eage to the October 1�, 20091and ttse designatzons
and zoning. The elirrtination of the plan tit�ill ulloiv additional conamet•cial
development increasing the umoztnt of land uvuilable for gener•alized cornmercial
zsses.
g. The current and projected populatian clensity in the area; and
Eliminatzng the Stebarea Plan �vild restore the previotrs contmet�cial land use i
designations. The Planni»g commission r•ecognizes the irend for bt�siness to locate �
neaf� intersections or freeivays and believes that vacancies ivill continue, and a �
decrease in e�nployment coidd j�estrlt.
h. The effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan.
The pf•oposal tia�ozrld elimi»ute the m�ap�ed a�•ea and zoning trssociated �vrth the
Suba�•eu Plan, The pre-Sub�rea Plan lund z�se designafions 1vef�e consistent �vith
the goals and policies ivzthin the SVCP crt the time of adoption, and remain
cansistent. The mixed ttse t�ision for� Spl�rrgtse Avemre is sintilat itnder the Sttbaf�ea
plan, und the pj�eviotcs l�rnd zrse designations. Hotiveve��, mixed use develop»�ent
�nay be less likely to occtir trrtdet° the use based zoning.
3 of 4
Concli�sions:
The Commission conclizdes that the proposed amendment is not in the interest of the citizens
of Spokane Valley and that there is not significant commututy opinion snpporting the
removal of the plan.
Recommendations:
The Spakane Valley Planning Commission therefore recommends to the City Council
that the proposed compreliensive plan amendment to remove the en#ire Sprague and
Appleway Carridors Subarea Plan and associated zoning designations and rehiz•n those
areas to the City of Spokane Valley zoning in effect on October 15, 2009 be denied. The
Planning Commission further recommends that the associated Comprel�ensive Plan and
Development Code Text Amendments propased to remove all 7•eference to the Subarea
Plan also ba denied.
The Pianning Commission recommends that the Sprague and Appleway Revitalization
Plan be retained. It is fiirther recommended study of the St�ba�•ea Plan continues with a
public p�•ocess to idenfify what components of the Subarea Plan are supported by the •
community.

the beginning of the Detention Services Fund.

SECTION 6: RATES FOR SERVICES
(a.) The CITY shall pay the COiJNT'I' for the incarceration costs of CITY prisoners as follows:
(i.) The PARTIES agree Spokane County Detention Services needs to establish fund balance. The
previously established "cash reserve" from Geiger Fund 415 will be transferred to the fund balance
of the new Detention Services Fund 515. Fund balance of $650,000 will be included in the
budgeted and actual costs for the 2010 year and up to $800,000 each subsequent year until the
reserve reaches two months of budgeted expenses. This reserve threshold will be maintained
throughout the life of the Agreement. Should the Agreement be terminated, the COTJNTI' will
refund the CITY the amount contributed toward fund balance from what was transferred from the
Geiger fund 415, as well as the Detention Services Fund 515. The amount contributed to the
operating reserve by the CITY is a liability for the COUNTY. The COLTNTY will provide annual
statements documenting the cumulative total of the CITY's contribution to the operating reserve.
(ii.) CITY' S Estimated annual costs will be computed as follows:
a. Taking the budgeted expenses and the provision of fund balance for the year less budgeted
revenue from housing federal inmates, state inmates (not mandated by law), work crew
program, and other Detention Service activities, to arrive at the budgeted net cost;
Page 3 of 12
DRAFT �
I
b. Taking the total Average Daily Population (ADP) of inmates for the year two years prior to
the contract year and subtracting the ADP for federal and/or state prisoners to arrive at the
estimated net ADP;
c. Dividing the City's ADP by the net ADP to determine the City's ADP percentage;
d. Multiplying the budgeted net cost by each Party's ADP percentage to arrive at the estimated
annual cost to each Pariy.
(iii.) Each Party's estimated annual costs will be divided by twelve and the Party will be billed monthly
by the County.
(iv.) At the end of the calendar year, using the methodology set forth in Section 6.a.2 the PARTIES
shall apply the actual expenditures and the actual ADP percentage from the contract year to
determine the fmal cost. It is the PARTIES intent that any adjustments take place as soon as
possible but no later than August 31 of the following year. The actual cost calculation shall be
accompanied by the actual expense reports and the actual ADP for all users. The CITY will have
sixty (60) calendar days from its receipt of the expenditure documentation to provide the
COLJNTY with any written objections(s) to such documentation. The written objection(s) must
specifically identify the expenditure(s) in question. The COiJNTY agees to consider all written
objections received from the CITY within thiriy (30) calendar days of receipt of the objections(s).
In the event that the PARTIES cannot mutually resolve any written objection(s) submitted by the
CITY within the thiriy (30) calendar days time frame, or such other time frame as the PARTIES
may mutually agree, the objections shall be resolved pursuant to the Dispute Resolution provisions
set forth in Section No. 12. To the extent that the CITY was over billed in any year and the
Agreement is still in effect, the COLJNTY shall credit the CITY for such overpayment in the next
monthly payment owning by the CITY. Provided, however, in the event the Agreement is
terminated at such time that the overpayment is determined, the COiJNTY shall reimburse the
CITY for any overpayment within thirty (30) calendar days. To the extent that the CITY was
under billed in any year and the Agreement is still in effect, the CITY shall reimburse the
COUNTY for any under payment in the ne�ct monthly payment owing by the CITY. Provided,
however, in the event the Agreement is terminated at such time that the underpayment is
determined, the CITY shall reimburse the COLJNTY for any underpayment within thirty (30)
calendar days. Either Pariy may at its sole option charge interest on any overpayment or
underpayment based on lost interest earning had the amount determined due been invested in the
respective Party's investment pool at the end of the thirty (30) day time frame provided for
hereinabove to the date of payment. Any resolution of a disputed amount through use of the
arbitration process identified in Section 12 shall include at the request of either Pariy, a
determination of whether interest is appropriate, including the amount.
(v.) In the event there is a disagreement on any of the expenses, the amount billed under parts 2 through
4 within this section will be paid while the issue is resolved.
(b.) Medical Costs: The CITY shall pay for any and all medical costs incurred by a person who is in need
of inedical services at the time of his/her arrest by a CITY officer, and prior to his/her being booked
into a detention facility. This provision is not intended to create any third party beneficiary rights.
The COiJNTY, in instances where a medical service provider improperly bills the COUNTY for such
medical services, will forward the billing(s) to the CITY for payment.
Page 4 of 12
DRAFT
(c.) The Monthly prisoner day costs shall be that amount established for the ensuing calendar year by the
COUNTI' effective January 1 of any contract year for the care and custody of CITY prisoners. The COLJNTY

preceding year when the costs will take effect. The memorandum shall be accompanied by the supporting
budget information and the ADP totals used to calculate the monthly costs.
(d.) The CITY will make payments within 30 days of the day in which it receives the invoice.
(e.) As part of the monthly billing the COUNTY shall detail the number of CITY prisoner days for which the
CITY was responsible the previous month. The Parties shall mutually agee on the format of the billing
statement, to include billing codes. The COLJNTY will provide to CITY a year-to-date total of prisoner
days with each invoice, including corrections made for previous months. The COLTNTY will provide
notification accompanied with ageed upon billing information for any changes to the CITY prisoner days.
The CIT'Y will notify the COIJNTY of any discrepancies contained in the monthly billing support within
45 days.
(£) The CITY shall be responsible for the incarceration costs when a CITY charge is the principal basis
for booking a person where one or more of the following applies, whether pre-trial or post-trial:
(i.) The person is booked for violation of a CITY ordinance; or
(ii.) The person is booked for violation of any other misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor
committed within the CITY; or
(iii.) The person is booked for a warrant relating to (i) and (ii) above.
A CITY charge is not the principal basis for confining a person where:
(i.) The person is booked exclusively or in combination with other charges by reason of a felony
charge (including 72-hour hold). Provided, after the felony charge is released, the CITY shall
be responsible for incarceration costs as they relate to pending CITY charges; or
(ii.) The person is booked exclusively or in combination with other charges by reason of a
felony charge that has been reduced to a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor; or
(iii.) The person is a federal prisoner who can be removed by a federal agency without regard to
the CITY charges. Provided, this provision does not apply when the federal booking is an
administrative hold pending release of CITY charges.
On multiple charges, it is the intent of the Parties, that the CITY shall pay only those incarceration costs
directly attributable to the booking and detention of misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor charges
originating from the CITY'S jurisdiction. By way of example, prisoners held or processed on multiple
charges shall be billed as follows:
(i.) Prisoner held or processed on both felony and CITY misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor
charges.
a. Concurrent bookings/detention. No charge, the more serious felony offense will control.
Page 5 of 12
DRAFT
b. Consecutive bookings/detention. Upon release of the felony offense the billing for CITY
charges will commence.
(ii.) CITY misdemeanors or gross misdemeanor charges and COiJNTY or another City's
misdemeanors or gross misdemeanor charges.
a. Concurrent bookings/detention.
b. Arresting agency will be initially billed when charges are at same level.
c. The CITY will be billed if during transport for another City/County in transit booking, a
CITY charge(s) is found and causes the individual to be booked and removed from in
transit until released on CITY charge(s).
d. For offenders with concurrent charges for multiple jurisdictions in which the above I
criteria cannot be used to determine the COUNTY/CITY, the COUNTY will bill the
COLJNTY/CITY delivering the offender to the detention facility until the
COiJNTY/CITY charges are resolved. The financial responsibility will then pass to the
next highest COLJNTY/CITY charge.

12. Why are you interested in serving in this interim position as a Spokane Valley Ciry Councilmember?
There are many reasons why I want to serve the community of Spokane Valley as a council member, I will tallc about
three.
o One, I am a father of three beautiful daughters. This is the community in which they will be raised and
therefore I have a vested interest in malcing Spokane Valley a safe and usable place for my family to live
in. Ifthat means working on grants to be used on developing "usable green space", or working with
Community Framework of Spokane to get more cost affordable homes for our seniors. In 2007 and 2009
my organization pledged support for this project.
e Two, I enjoy working on problems and fmding solutions. Every day in my professional life I help WWII
veterans and spouses keep and maintain their independence. In the process of assessment, we fmd out
what their needs are and help them with the fmd solutions to their specific problems. I will bring my
business experience to my service as a councilman.
• Finally three, I want to serve the community. Over the past couple of years I have followed Sen. Bob
McCaslin and his service to the 4 district here in Spokane, his words echo my sentiments and interests
for serving. McCaslin said when retiring. "I will miss being able to advocate for the families and
taxpayers of this district. These are my neighbors and my friends" I want to advocate for the families of
Spokane Valley. I want to help keep Spokane Valley a great place to do business and to live.
13. What are the three highest priorities you believe the City needs to address? How would you propose to address
these issues?
1. Finding a city finance director. Ken Thompson has served our city from its inception. The way
that I would go about finding a finance director would be to head- hunt other comparable cities Finance
directors around the country. For example, Deputy Director Sophia DiCaro of the "Govemors office of
Economic Development, State of Utah , would be good to look at, or Jan Hawn, Finance Director for the
city of Bellevue, WA would also be good to look at for the position. One of the priorities would be to
look at track records, and how the applicant's personality will interact with the council. I would also get
recommendations from our city manager. With all of that said, I believe fmding a suitable match will be
a formidable task, the highest priority.
2. Roads and infrastructures. Maintaining our wonderful roads and our bridges is very important.
Keeping things updated will help with commerce and with overall appeal of living in Spokane Valley.
Maintaining the roads keeps our communities safe, usable and valuable ---a place to settle down, whether
that's a new family or a new business. We can do that by funding maintenance and repair.
3. Developing usable green space. By developing green space like the new Mirabeau park, we are
investing in the appeal of the city. We need to do more, but also keep below budget. We will be able to
develop more by grant writing efforts. We could also solicit wealthier individuals in the comrnunity by
fund raising. That way the community would have a part in the installment of the green space/ park.
Another way that you could do it is go to the people in that area of town and ask them what they would
like, and then propose a plan to fund it through the neighborhood that would be using it. This was done in
Cheney, WA, when Mayor Truelove went to the people with a proposal to resurface a dead end side street.
The neighbors on that street agreed to pay for that work to l�e done in installments. Community
involvement in projects will also garner the spirit of community that is missing from the world. Growing
our ratio of green space will also bring younger new families to the area.
14. Have you ever attended a meeting of the Spokane Valley City Council? Yes [ X] No []
If yes, give an estimate of how many meetings you have attended in the past year.•
I hc�ve not czttendec� in the past year, all thozcgh, l have kept z�p with whnt is happening through rec�cling the
Vtclley HeYald.
15. Appointment to the City Council will require your�attendance at numerous regularly scheduled and special
meetings, which generally occur on Tuesday evenings. Council members are also expected to represent the City of
� Spokane Valley by serving on various regional commissions, corrunittees and boards. Are you able to comrriit your
, time and energy to participate fully as a member of the Spokane Valley City Council. Yes [X ] No []

Addendum A
Why are you interested in serving in this interim position as a Spokane
Valley City Council Member?
I have been fortunate enough to have had many successful working
experiences throughout my career. I believe that one of the main reasons for
this success is my ability to work with various kinds of people, those who
are honest, reliable, fair, and use common sense in order to get things done.
In all of these experiences, I have sought positions that would bring me in
close relationship with a variety of people because of the diversity of the
community. This is what interests me the most. I have always felt that my
time and effort were most well spent when I have had something to
contribute to others. I feel that my educational preparedness and business
background coupled with community involvement offers the City of
Spokane Valley skills that can be effectively utilized for positive change.
This Valley Community, for many years, has given my family a safe place to
live, a place where professional growth is possible, and most important, a
culture where we all want to raise a family. It is now time for me to pay
back to the citizens, by moving forward with the same positive traditional
concepts that have been provided for my family.
Chuck Hafner
Addendum B
What are the three highest priorities vou believe the City needs to address?
How would you propose to address these issues?
To brin�together a fra�mented communitv and become a more friendlY
valle once a�ain.
We must provide the community the necessary information, in a
transparent manner, that what best explains our type of City Government.
The City Council provides the umbrella (policies) that enables the City
Manager (administratively) to conduct the city business. When the
organization is not understood, it becomes very confusing and does not
allow the City Manager, in a professional manner, to do City business. Too
often, when Counsel members are not fully informed by the City Manager,
or by the city staff, they act without considering the impact their decisions
have on the citizenry. In many cases this action does great harm and
increases more fragmentation. Every three to five year we should evaluate
our policies to see if they meet the needs of our citizens. If not, change them.
In any major city project we have to consider first and foremost the
impact to the property owners, prior to moving forward. The citizenry feel
they are being left out of the equation. The tail wagging the head concept is
quite evident when neighborhoods are not given consideration or a hearing
prior to approval. They need to be heard and involved.
No matter what the highest priorities might be, we always need to consider
having a balanced budget. One based on need, not one based on a wish list.
With the present condition of the economy, we must be frugal in our
monetary deliberations and act accordingly. And then, when our basic
financial needs have been met, other projects could be considered. �
Provide a Friendlier Business Attitude
The City of Spokane Valley is relatively a new city. It is an old city when
you consider the infrastructure, buildings, streets, housing, sidewalks and
other visible identifications. But as we drive down Sprague Avenue, we see
many empty office spaces, empty buildings, For Lease signs throughout the
city, vacant Mall signs, and very little traffic. If we are not careful, and if we
don't pay attention to "businesses," our new/old city will become an old,
old, city.
Addendum B-�age 2
Therefore in order to create jobs, receive more taxes, we must help the small
business communities.
Numerous Spokane Valley businessmen, developers, realtors, and citizens
have provided the following suggestions that address some of these
concerns:
1. Streamline the Permitting Process. This consists of platting,
zoning, boundary line adjustments, excavation, grading, demolition
and building permits.
2. Our present Zoning Code is too restrictive for uses in each
category and there are too many specialized categories. We need to
revise to fewer zone categories and broaden the uses.
3. Change the city's attitude to be more encouraging for
development. This attracts business, expands existing businesses
and creates jobs. Staff personnel want to do a good job but need
the right tools and policies to be effective. Developers and
builders are frustrated with the difficulty in being able to
accomplish something (a project) in a timely fashion and many just
say, "I' 11 go elsewhere, where the game rules are more
accommodating." We must assist old and new businesses meet
their goal in a timely fashion and use common sense when some of
the requirements don't really fit.
4. Explore all possible Tax incentives and other stimulus measures
that are beneficial to small businesses. And then enact these
measures ASAP.
5. Develop and design our own City of Spokane �Talley Economic
Development department. We need to begin focusing on our
business needs now and for the future.
Addendum B pa�e 3
Budg;et and Road Concerns
One of the City Council's priorities should be creating jobs via small
businesses and diligently pursuing this goal. The business, sales and real-
estate taxes generated by the new workers and their families would generate
enough revenue, along with other sources, to take care of our roads and
balance the budget. And perhaps this could be done without utilizing any of
the City's money reserve.
We can then begin looking at a vision for our city. A vision where Sprague
Avenue would become our Business Boulevard. With welcome signs, flags,
nice looking streets and sidewalks. A boulevard that invites people to shop
and buy, have a cup of coffee, then have lunch and dinner. We can only
imagine what more could take place on the Boulevard. We would go step-
by-step as our budget allows. It is just a matter of dressing up our
community, without a lot of cost. WE WILL SEE YOU ON THE
BOULEVARD.

12) Why are you interested in serving this interim position as a Spokane Valley City Councilman?
With the end of SARP becoming a reality, we can and need to move on and I am convinced that now is
the time for this council to not only move to create a business friendly city but that by doing our due
diligence, we can attract some of the businesses fleeing California. We have so much going for us that by
actively promoting our qualities, we can become a destination city for some of those same businesses.
1 am greatly encouraged with the direction this current City Council is taking, and I believe my past
manufacturing, business ownership and recruiting experience would make a great addition to this
council. It is my intention to listen to the citizens of Spokane Valley and effectively represent thern for
the duration of this term.
13) What are the three highest priorities you believe the City needs to address? How do you propose to
address these issues?
1. Create a business friendly City. We need to attract manufacturers to this area and we can, we
have so many things we can offer companies that we should be a destination city but because
we live in the shadow of the West Side we are at a disadvantage in comparison to other states.
We need to overcome this by crafting laws to reduce the costs of doing business such as
reviewing the overzealous fire sprinkler codes we currently have and applying zoning laws to
allow more flexibility. I propose having meetings with representatives of manufacturing
companies like Kaiser, Honeywell, Purcell and Monaco as well as smaller companies to see what
changes would be beneficial to them while balancing those proposed changes with
environmental and social considerations.
2. Rebuilding unity and establishirtg an affordable and realistic vision for the City of Spokane
Valley. After the disaster called SARP, we need to focus on where this city is headed in a mature
and responsible way. We need to understand the realities of the current economic situation and
create a climate to attract new businesses, while respecting private property rights and
retaining the atmosphere that makes the Valley such a wonderful place to live.
I would propose that we do so by creating a set of questions placed on the City web page that
Spokane Valley residents could answer. For Instance: Do they want a city center/hall, if so, �
where would they like it to be? Are they willing to pay additional taxes to implement such a plan
and if so, how much? The questionnaire could also have questions about the continuation of
the Appleway Couplet and Sprague one-way vs. two-way. This might not be the most scientific
method but it would show whether or not there was enough interest in these topies to conduct
further information gathering. This would be a very open, inexpensive, and transparent way to
find out voter interest.
3. Maintaining and improving our roads. We do not want our roads to fall apart like Spokane's has
so we must be diligent in maintaining them. However maintaining roads cost money thus we
need to find ways to pay for them including looking at all non-essential budgetary items for
ways to eliminate waste, possibly renegotiating union and non union salaries to bring them
more into line with the private sector; and lastly, asking voters about raising the revenue
required to support raising road canstruction costs.

Why are you interested in serving in this interim position as a Spokane Valley City Cauncilmember?
9 years ago i signed a piece of paper pledging that creating the City of Spokane Valley would be a wise
decision and worked hard to prove to others that it was true.
Shortly after, I put my name in to be one of the first City Council members but received many comments
that people admired my interest and enthusiasm but I needed to finish college first. In 2004, I graduated
Eastern Washington University with a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science and went to work for
Goodrich Aerospace in their IT Department.
I have watched the City of Spokane Valley take shape with much excitement. Now that I have my
degree, an accomplished career, and have started a family I am ready to pursue my passion for serving
my community.
While I haven't been as visible in the recent past I believe that; my previous involvement in gathering
information from other Washington Cities during the incorporation drive, participating in the Boundary
Review Boards Financial Feasibility Study for the potential City of Spokane Valley, listening /
participating on the transition committees, completing the Certified Tourism Ambassador (CTA) training
from the Spokane Regional Convention and Visitors Bureau, and serving on the Spokane County Fair &
Expo Center Advisory Board for the last 6 years (chair for the last 5) give me the knowledge / skills to hit
the ground running and be a contributing City Council member.
What are the three highest priorities you believe the City needs to address? Houv would you propose
to address these issues?
1) Vision —The citizens of the City of Spokane Valley want direction and leadership. The indecision
of the Sprague Appleway Revitalization P(an has put the focus on undoing the past instead of
building our city's future. A clear, long-term vision needs to be formed and put into action. I
would like to form goals and projects that aid in developing our city toward this vision. I see the
City Council's role as more than policy making its leadership. As leaders of the city we need to
communicate with citizens and start discussing ideas for improving our city and our way of life.
As a city we have set the groundwork for the future by establishing a good financial foundation.
The Council's current proposal of conducting a citizen survey is a great plan as we look toward
the future.
2) 'feamwork— When we work together everyone gains more. There are two facets of interaction
that I would like to focus on.
a. Internal —The City of Spokane Valley is one team. The Council and staff will only
succeed with each other. Watching the interactions / discussions between staff and
Council, I see a lack of trust. Maintaining good relationships, empowering people, and
ensuring a positive environment will greatly enhance the productivity of the city.
b. Regionally— I applaud your efforts in being good stewards of the tax payer's money.
There are more factors in being a great city than the bottom dollar. As a citizen in the
City of Spokane Valley, I want to live in a city that not only has good money
management, but is enjoyable and well respected. We are the second largest city in the
region; by size alone we cannot be ignored. We have the potential of being regional
leaders. Unlike the other municipalities we have a unique opportunity. We have no past,
no burned bridges. We can partner with the County, the City of Spokane, or even the
smaller cities to create better outcomes for all citizens. Because we are young, we bring
an unbiased, clean slate which is non-threatening and facilitates better discussions /
decisions. We should take opportunities to be heard and take a more prominent role in
the region.
3) Finding revenue to sustain the Street Fund — This isn't going to be easy. Like everyone else, I
don't want any more taxes. So, there are only two options: find the money elsewhere within the
budget or increase the tax base to generate more revenues (i.e. facilitate more businesses
locating to the Spokane Valley thereby increasing sales tax revenues, promote tourism). While
efforts have been made to stream line the permitting processes and regulatory oversight I think
more needs to be done. I would encourage the use of continuous improvement or lean activities
to analyze processes and streamline requirements.

Question 12/
I am interest in serving in this interim position because there is an exciting time ahead for the Spokane
Valley and the Spokane area. The economy will improve over the next year and the housing industry will
begin to respond with an increase in new construction. Eastern Washington is attracting more and
more people because of the quality of life we enjoy. There is even migration from the west side of the
state to eastern Washington and many people are also looking here for second homes. With the
growth will be challenges and I believe that I have the knowledge about the Spokane area that will help
in framing its future in a positive way. I believe we need positive people that can lead and I believe I am
one of those people. I have been in Spokane all my life and have been self employed most of my adult
life.
Question 13/
1#
Small business is the backbone of our economy and they need all the support we can offer to help them
prosper and if they prosper the Spokane Val will prosper. What's good for small business is good for
the people_of the Valley. They create revenue and they create jobs. I would propose an alliance with
small business and have regular meetings with the various organizations and I would also invite as many
small businesses to come and brain storm about the future of the Spokane Valley. I would go to them
and solicit comments and suggestions and engage in discussion on what their priorities are. I believe we
need to be partners and there should be a real honest open door policy.
2#
The apple way corridor has created problems for the small business and property owners along that one
way part of Sprague Ave. The vacancies are high and access is difficult. A thorough study needs to be
done to find an alternative. I believe that Sprague Ave needs to be turned back to a 2 Way street,
3#
Stream line city government by reducing waste and reducing expenses. Limited government is good
government. Search through the budget and find those areas that are redundant and excessive. Learn
to do more with less. I have always believed that governmentjust raises prices when they need more
money. We can only get so much revenue before we price ourselves out of the market and businesses
find it too expensive to operate in the Spokane Valley. Be efFicient first. My grandfather always told me
that if we take care of the nickels and dimes the dollars take care of themselves.

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: April 26, 2011 City Manager Sign-off:
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information � admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: CDBG/HOME Consortium Cooperation Agreement — 2012 to 2014
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Community Development Block Grant Program — Federal
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: In 2008 the City Council entered into a three year
agreement (2009-2011) to participate in the Spokane County CDBG/HOME Consortium.
BACKGROUND: Every three years, Spokane County is required to re-qualify as an Urban
County Consortium in order to participate in the U.S. Department of Urban and Housing
Development's (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program. The
City of Spokane Valley is again in the position to decide whether to renew its participation in the
CDBG/HOME Consortium or become a direct entitlement recipient from HUD. In order for
Spokane County to meet its obligation under the HUD, the County must receive written notice of
the City's decision by May 27, 2011.
During this re-qualification period for Spokane County, the City must select one of the following
four options relative to its participation in the CDBG program:
1. Accept entitlernent status and receive CDBG funds directly from HUD;
2. Accept entitlement status and enter into joint agreement with Spokane County;
3. Defer entitlement status and participate through the State CDBG program; or
4. Defer entitlement status and participate as part of urban county with Spokane County
(current option that Spokane Valley is participating).
In May, 2008 Spokane County Commissioners approved Resolution No. 8-0483, which
established a twenty percent "set-aside" of the annual allocation of CDBG funding for eligible
infrastructure improvements within the City of Spokane Valley. The resolution states that the
set-aside was established as a condition of Spokane Valley's participation in the County
CDBG/HOME Consortium for fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Tim Crowley, HCD Program Manager, informed City staff that he "broadly interprets" the
resolution to include subsequent requalification periods. Mr. Crowley further stated that the
County would be willing the update the resolution for more clarity.
City Council is scheduled to take action on the Cooperation Agreement at the May 10, 2011
Council meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: As directed by City Council.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: As noted above.

February 25, 2011
Mr. Mike Jackson, City Manager
City of Spokane Valley
11707 E. Sprague Avenue, Suite 106
Spokane Valley, WA 99206
Dear Mr. Jackson:
Spokane County has participated in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's
(HUD) Commun'ity Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program since 1988 and in
the HOME Entitlement Program since 1991. Every three years, HUD requires Urban County
Consortiums, such as Spokane County, to re-qualify. Currently, Spokane County is scheduled
to re-qualify in 2011 for fiscal years 2012, 2013, and 2014.
The City of Spokane Valley has been a member of the Spokane County Urban Consortium
since 2006.
Currently, the annual CDBG Entitlement for Spokane County is approximately $1.5 rnillion.
According to a recently released breakdown of the current CDBG entitlement, the proportionate
share for Spokane Valley is $559,833. I have enclosed a list of the projects for which past
CDBG funds have been used in Spokane Valley. The annual average of CDBG funds
Spokane Valley has received is $700,293, for a grant total of $5,602,345 since fiscal year 2003.
During the re-qualification period, the City must select one of the following four options with
regard to its participation in the CDBG program:
1. Accept status as an entitlement grantee;
2. Accept status as an entitlement grantee and enter into a joint agreement with Spokane
County;
3. Defer status as an entitlement grantee and participate through the State CDBG program;
or
4. Defer status as an entitlement grantee and participate as part of the urban county.
(Note: This is the option tha� Spokane Valley has se/ecfied since 2003).
Please provide written notification of the option selected to Spokane County. If vou choose to
remain in the consortium, ple�se senc➢ � letter (sample enclosed) bv Mav 27, 2011 stating
your choice.
If vou decide not to par�icipate in �he consortium, vou need to notifv Spokane County
and �iUD in wrrotir�q bv Mav 27, 2011. The contact person at HIJD is:

Seattle Federal Office Building
909 First Avenue, Suite 300
Seattle, WA 98104-1000
The choice not to participate in the consortium means:
1. The City of Spokane Valley will not be eligible to receive CDBG and HOME Program
funds from Spokane County;
2. The population of Spokane Valley will not be included in the urban county;
3. The City of Spokane Valley will be eligible to apply to the State of Washington
Department of Community Development for Community Development Block Grant and
HOME Program funds;
4. The City of Spokane Valley could accept status as an entitlement grantee;
5. The City of Spokane Valley could enter into a joint agreement with Spokane County.
If the City of Spokane Valley would like to continue as a consortium member, please review the
attached inter-local cooperati,on agreement. The agreement requires the City to commit to the
consortium for a three-year period, unless subsequent notice is given to HUD. Present the
agreement to your City Council for review, discussion, and acceptance. In addition to sending
.the initial letter, please return the signed interlocal agreement not later than Mav 31, �011.
Once the agreement is signed by the Commissioners, a copy of the fully executed document will
be mailed to you.
A change from previous urban qualification notification procedures is the inclusion of additional
language in the interlocal cooperation agreement, allowing it to serve as the agreement needed
in order to administer the Spokane County Affordable Housing Trust Fund (Substitute House Bill
2060) and the Spokane County Homeless Housing Assistance Act (HHAA) Fund (ESSHB 2163,
1359 and 2331), which authorized Spokane County's Housing and Community Development
Advisory Committee to serve as the regional body for reviewing proposals, initiatives and
making funding recommendations for these programs.
If you have any questions about Spokane County's CDBG, HOME, Affordable Housing Trust
Fund, or HHAA programs, please contact division manager Tim Crowley at 477-4488 or by e-
mail at tcrowlevCc�spokanecountv.orq.

Library planned the upcoming book sale and agreed to make donations to Spokane Is Reading and
SCLD to sponsor a Mark Twain summer prograrn. Eight customer incident reports were logged
during the quarter, none requiring a 911 call to law enforcement although Sheriff's officers were
Page 1 of 4
automatically dispatched due to a panic alarm malfunction and Spokane Valley Fire was called to
extinguish a smoldering couch cushion left by the Dumpster.
Argonne Library
The newly revived Argonne Friends of the Library received its non-profit corporate status from the
Secretary of State and began collecting used books for a late May book sale. Group visits included
Orchard Prairie School District and Northwest Youth Center, which offers afterschool care for
students. District online library cards (which are processed at Argonne Library) included several
from Ohio and another from Malaysia—none of which were eligible for SCLD services. When
possible, we direct out-of-area people to their local libraries.
Otis Orchards Library
Customer feedback is always welcome. A couple of recent examples include a customer who used
our Early Learning Station to train her three children on computers before she let them use her
home computer, and another customer very grateful for the help, who had staff guidance and used
web links to help build her court-case defense. A customer began a book club with seven people
coming to a first meeting. Branch Supervisor Bev Bergstrom participated in the East Valley Senior
High senior project judging. Racist graffiti in the meri s restroom was quickly removed.
� � :
Customer use measures
Customer use was mixed during 2011's first quarter when compared to the same period last year.
Library materials checkout continued to increase, up 6%, and program attendance increased year-
to-date by 5%. However, the door count is down slightly and computer bookings are off 8%
compared to last year.
Adult services
Programming: Adult programs included 18 computer instruction classes,l3 book club meetings,
and the business resources overview class presented to 12 Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce
NxLevel entrepreneur course students.
Conimunity: We visited an average of 45 adult outreach facilities each month. Tax-Aide assistance
was offered by volunteers at five branches, including Spokane Valley. Two librarians represented
SCLD at the Road to Spokane: Bing Crosb�'s Famil� Histori� genealogy event at Gonzaga. Staff spoke
with almost 100 people at the annual Valley Chamber of Commerce Business Resource Fair.
Youth services
Programrning: Play and Learn storytimes continued to be popular at all five branches where they're
offered, which include Spokane Valley and Otis Orchards. After-School Specials for kids K-5
continued every month at each branch. A special "Sing-Along Songs' in-house preschool program
was presented at all branches. Plaruzuzg was completed for the Summer Reading Program.
Cotnmunity: Staff visited 68 childcare centers during the quarter, for 133 storytimes to 2,145 kids;
staff presented a workshop titled "Best Books for Babies and Toddlers' at the Eastern Washington
Association for the Education of Young Children's annual conference.

2010 Census figures
The Census Bureau 2010 Census information for Washington shows that SCLD's official population
of 254,714 is 1,0661ess than the 2010 Office of Financial Management Apri11 estimates. The
District's txnincorporated population is 136,108; cities and towns are 118,606. From 2000 to 2010, the
SCLD population increased 14.7%, a very moderate change.
2010 budget recap
The revenue estimate in the last revision of the 2010 budget couldn t have been much closer to the
actual figure. Revenues were 99.42% of the budget estimate, with property taxes at 99.32°/o.
Expenses were 95.19% of the 2010 estimate, giving us $474,645 total revenue over expenses rather
than the $26,780 budgeted.
20111egislative session
Fortunately no legislation having a significantly negative irnpact on public libraries was introduced
this session—and with no state funding the budget isn t an issue. Similarly, there's nothing that
would have a substantive positive impact so there's nothing to promote. The only significant
library-related issue is the impact of budget reductions on the Washington State Library and its
required match for federal funds that are used for projects throughout the state.
Credit and debit card acceptance suspended
Due to changes in credit card industry security compliance requirements, changes we were no
longer able to meet, we stopped accepting credit cards at service desks after March 31. An alternate
customer self-service method that's also secure but doesri t place the security compliance
responsibility on SCLD will be in place this spring. It will also allow online payments:
Upriver Drive property acquisition
Soon after it went on the market the District made a purchase offer on the property adjacent to the
Argonne/Administrative Offices building that was accepted and subsequently approved in Board
of Trustees' action. This half-acre of land provides much-needed flexibility for the future building
expansion that's part of the Library Facilities Master Plan. The listing price of $129,900 was well
below the assessed valuation. The next steps are to determine wha�s in the District's best interests
to do with the small house on the property and the amount and location of additional space.
Proposed Airway Heights' annexation
The City of Airway Heights will continue to work toward annexation to SCLD but with an early
2012 election rather than one this year because there wasri t sufficient time to complete all the steps
and lay the local groundwork for an Apri12011 election. At a February City of Airway Heights'
council meeting, it approved a motion to direct the city manager to begin the process of forming a
citizen advisory committee to assist the council with plannulg for the proposed annexation to SCLD,
as recommended by an ad hoc council-staff committee.
Reciprocal borrowing with Spokane Public Library
Last year's checkout of materials from each library system by residents of the other once again
showed we continue to be fairly even on a percentage basis but the actual number of items Spokane
residents borrowed from the District is considerably higher. SPL borrowers were responsible for
11% of SCLD's 2,476,686 total circulation, up 14.4% from 2009; SCLD borrowers were responsible
for 9.7% of SPL's 2,123,280 total circulation, up 2.0% from 2009.
Page 3 of 4
Although Spokane residents checked out more materials from SCLD branches, a slightly larger
number of SCLD residents have an SPL card. Spokane's 15,876 cardholders were 13.6% of SCLD's
total; SCLD's 16,302 cardholders were 15.7% of SPL's total.

Re Finance Activity Report — March 2011
Activities in March in the Finance Department included:
Financial reports. Reports showing a comparison of actual revenues and expenditures at March
31, 2011 to the 2011 Budget, are attached. Gambling tax receipts are expected to have a large
uncollectible portion, as casinos struggle to make ends meet. Investment earnings are likely to
be less than projected in our 2011 budget as interest rates are down dramatically from prior
years. The City will soon be investing in instruments backed by the federal and/or state
government to increase our return. Sales tax receipts are expected to be close to our projected
budget as our projections have been reduced based on 2010 experience. Actual sales tax receipts
for the first three months of 2011 are very close to our receipts in 2010.
The investment report is also attached for your review. Note the investment balance at $47
million at March 31, 2011. The $47 million is down about $2 million from February 28
primarily because most of our revenues don't start flowing to the city until May (property tax
and service fees).
2011 Budget amendments. A few amendments are being prepared for the 2011 budget as the
current version omitted a portion of the Storm Water Fund and a couple of capital projects.
2012 Bud�. A memorandum is being prepared to provide instructions to departments. The
Finance Committee will meet April 15, to provide direction.
Audit of 2010 records. Staff is preparing the 2010 financial records for audit by the State
Auditor. This audit will start this summer but won't be complete until late fall.
Franchise fees for public and educational use. Recommendations regarding the allocation of a
small portion of cable TV franchise fees to public and educational institutions are being
prepared. This process is required by our franchise agreement.

ADMINISTRATIVE:
Spokane Valley Police Department is working at achieving our accreditation. A mock accreditation
panel was held mid-month, showing those areas which need improvement. Only 40 out of 289
agencies in Washington State are accredited. The Spokane County Sheriff's Office is already an
accredited agency, and the Spokane Valley Police Department is one of the first contract agencies in
the state to seek accreditation as a contract law enforcement agency, demonstrating standards of best
practice.
Chief VanLeuven along with other command staff attended the Quarterly In-Service Training Session
at the Spokane County Sheriff s Office Training Unit.
The Annual Muscular Dystrophy Association's Lock-Up fundraiser was held this month. Chief
VanLeuven participated and obtained donations which contributed to NIDA's total cash and pledges
of $39,700. The money raised will benefit families in the Spokane Valley area with neuromuscular
disorders by providing services at area clinics as well as NIDA summer camp for children and
research.
Chief VanLeuven attended the Special Joint Meeting in late March, where both Spokane City
Council and Spokane Valley City Council members discussed parallel issues.

OPERATIONS:
Shooting Leaves 1VIan in Critical Condition - A Spokane man was clinging to life in a Spokane
hospital one Saturday afternoon in early March, after being shot in the head shortly before 4 a.m. A
suspect is in custody and detectives have recovered the pistol used in the shooting. Officers
responded to Sixth and Sunderland after receiving a 9-1-1 call of a vehicle accident at that
intersection. They found a 26-year-old man injured and bleeding heavily and a passenger had
reportedly fled the scene. The victim was transported to a downtown hospital where staff was
initially confounded by the large amount of bleeding. Only after the insistence of investigating
officers did hospital staff eventually remove the cervical collar and found a bullet wound behind the
victim's ear. Although the initial investigation was being handled by traffic investigators, sheriff's
Page 3
office major crimes detectives were brought in. However, it was Spokane Valley patrol officers who
determined that the assault stemmed from a party and developed a 27-year-old male as a suspect.
Witnesses told officers that the male suspect showed up at the party and left after no one there knew
him. He came back a short while later and left with the victim in the victim's 1962 Chevrolet pickup.
A while later, witnesses saw the two men driving slowly past the party in the truck. They heard a
"pop" and then a crash, and saw the male suspect running from the truck. After learning of the bullet
wound, patrol officers set up surveillance on the suspect's home and detained him when he left about
10:15 a.m. Saturday. Detectives interviewed him and determined he was the shooter. They obtained
a search warrant for his home and recovered a.45-caliber pisto] and his clothing about 4:45 p.m. The
male suspect was booked into the Spokane County Jail on a First-Degree Assault charge and is being
held on $750,000 bail.
Valley Church Burgled - A thief broke into a Spokane Valley church sometime and stole several
thousand dollars worth of electronic equipment. The pastor at Valley Landmark Mission told Officer
Mark Benner that the congregation held a service Wednesday night and that all of the stolen property
was stored in the electronic storage room that night. When a cleaning crew arrived about 5 p.m.
Saturday, they discovered the room pillaged and several items missing. The stolen property included
a Canon HD camcorder, an Acer laptop computer and two Phillips portable DVD players. Benner
found that the point of entry appeared to be a narrow window.
Valley Woman Cited for Hit and Run - A 32-year-old Spokane Valley woman was cited for Hit
and Run after she ran into a male pedestrian and then fled the scene. Officer Kevin Mosher
responded to the report of a hit and run when a witness called 9-1-1 and reported he was following
the suspect vehicle. Shortly afterward, the witness said he lost sight of the vehicle, but reported it
was an older red pickup with a red canopy. The witness told Mosher he was at the light at Pines and
Broadway and saw the pickup strike the male pedestrian. The truck backed up with its headlights off
and then took off down Pines Road. Mosher contacted the male pedestrian who said he was sore but
otherwise fine. He said he was walking on the sidewalk when the truck hit him leaving a parking lot.
The blow knocked him to his knees. Officers located the truck in the 11900 block of East Broadway
and contacted the 32-year-old female driver. She told Mosher she was dealing with her five-year-old
son and only caught sight of the pedestrian in her peripheral vision. She said she slammed on the
brakes, but panicked when she knocked the man down. She said she drove home in a circuitous route
because she was confused and scared. Mosher cited Berg for Hit and Run and released her with a
citation.
1VIeth, Pistol Lead to Arrest - A 21-year-old St. Maries, Idaho resident was arrested after an officer
found her in possession of inethamphetamine during a traffic stop. Officer Juan Rodriguez was
patrolling the area of Sprague and McDonald Road when he noticed the driver of a 1993 Mercury
Cougar fail to properly signal a turn. He followed the car into a parking lot and identified the driver,
who told Rodriguez that her driver's license might be suspended, and it was. He arrested her for the
traffic misdemeanor. She then told him she had a syringe and a baggie of drugs in her pocket, and
she did. He told her she was under arrest for felony Possession of Controlled Substance. He asked if
he could search her car and she told him she had tossed the keys inside and then locked the doors.
She added that he might be able to see the pistol stuffed between the front seats, and he did.
Rodriguez ran the woman's name through police records and learned she had no concealed weapon
permit. He impounded the car and drove her to jail for booking. Retuming to the Spokane Valley
Precinct, he applied for and was granted a search warrant. He removed the Smith and Wesson .40-
Page 4
caliber semi-automatic pistol from the car. The magazine was loaded with 13 bullets and there was a
second magazine on the back seat that contained another 13 bullets. Rodriguez also found a
marijuana bong (water pipe), a marijuana pipe, a digital scale and weights, and MSM, a horse
supplement used to add weight to methamphetamine packaged for sale because it has a similar
appearance. The officer placed all of the items on police property as evidence. He charged the
female suspect with Unlawful Carrying of a Firearm, Driving while License Suspended and
Possession of Controlled Substance.
Homeowner Nabs Vehicle Thieves - A Spokane Valley resident caught a pair of vehicle thieves in
the act of stealing his truck and held them at gunpoint until police arrived. A woman called 9-1-1
about 11:15 p.m. and reported that her boyfriend was holding two men that he had caught breaking
into his truck in the 18800 block of East Fourth. Officers Jeremy Howe, Timothy Jones and Lamont
Petersen arrived and detained a 31-year-old male suspect and a 35-year-old male suspect, both of
Spokane. At the same time, 9-1-1 received a second call from a neighbor reporting that there was an
unusual pickup parked behind his residence. Howe walked over to that home and ran the vehicle
identification number on the Ford truck. It came to a pickup that had been reported stolen from a car
lot about noon Tuesday. Back at the primary scene, the boyfriend told the officers he was awakened
by the sound of a car door closing and armed himself to investigate. He found the two suspects
inside his pickup and saw that the steering column around the ignition had been pried open and
damaged. Interviews with the suspects revealed that both had been the passenger with the other one
driving the stolen truck next door. One male suspect had a number of shaved vehicle keys in his
clothing when searched. Both suspects were driven to the Spokane County Jail and booked on
charges of Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle, Attempted Theft of a Motor Vehicle, Possession of
Motor Vehicle Theft Tools, Third-Degree Malicious Mischief and Second-Degree Trespass.
Right Key, Wrong Door - An alcohol-impaired driver was arrested one morning after he repeatedly
tried his house keys in the front door of a home that wasn't his. The 56-year-ald male suspect was
arrested about 10 a.m. and booked into the Spokane County Jail on a misdemeanor count of Driving
while Under the Influence of Alcohol. Officers were called to a home in the 18600 block of East
Courtland about 9:25 a.m. when the female resident called 9-1-1 to report a suspicious male who had
parked his car in her driveway and then tried his keys in her door. As she watched from inside the
home, the male suspect drove away westbound. Shortly afterward, he again pulled into her driveway,
parked and tried his keys in the door a second time. Officer Glen Hinckley detained the male suspect
until Traffic Officer Jack Rosenthal arrived to process the suspect as a potential DUI driver. At the
conclusion of the evaluation process, Rosenthal booked the male into the Spokane County Jai1. The
suspect's home address is in the 18700 block of East Boone. The two addresses are on opposite sides
of the Spokane River and about a mile apart.
�alley Felon Arrested - A 65-year-old Spokane Valley man was arrested after sheriff's major
crimes detectives found a pistol and ammunition inside his home during an early-morning evidence
search. The sheriff's office SWAT Team executed a search warrant at the home of the suspect in the
500 block of South Chronicle shortly before 6 a.m. Detectives were looking for evidence related to a
March 3 incident in which the male suspect threatened a resident in the 2500 block of South Rees
Lane with a pistol while ordering the resident to stay away from his granddaughter. Alarmed, the
resident slammed the front door closed. The suspect kicked in a lower panel on the door and shouted
more threats before fleeing. The male suspect has three previous convictions for Second-Degree
Burglary, three for Grand Larceny, one for Second-Degree Assault, one for First-Degree Theft and
Page 5
another for Delivery of a Firearm to an Ineligible Person. The felony convictions make it unlawful
for him to possess a firearm or ammunition. During the search, Detective Tim Hines seized a loaded
Iver Johnson .32-caliber revolver and Detective Mike Drapeau seized several boxes of both large
caliber pistol and rifle ammunition. Detective Mike Ricketts was lead investigators in the case and
booked the male suspect into the Spokane County Jail on new felony charges of First-Degree
(Armed) Burglary, Second-Degree Assault and First-Degree Unlawful Possession of a Firearm.
Jewelry Thief Nabbed - A quick-thinking jewelry store owner solved her own crime when she
called nearby pawn and jewelry businesses and told them to be on the lookout for a suspect who
pilfered a gold wedding band from her business. Not long after, the thief attempted to sell the stolen
ring at Pawn One. Employees called police and Officer Ken Dodge quickly corralled the suspect.
The owner of Artistry in Gold told Dodge that her daughter was helping the 23-year-old Liberty Lake
suspect look at a pair of wedding rings. He handed one of the rings back and then walked out of the
store. She yelled at the male suspect to stop and when he didn't, noted his gray Saturn as he drove
away from the business. She began calling other businesses about the theft. Dodge interviewed the
male suspect about the ring and determined probable cause to charge him with Third-Degree Theft.
In checking the suspect's name through criminal records, he learned that he was wanted in Idaho
State for a probation violation on a drug conviction. Dodge drove the male suspect to the Spokane
County Jail and booked him on the misdemeanor theft charge and a felony count of Fugitive from
Justice.
Business Loses Safe to Burglar - Burglars broke into the Orowheat Bakery at 5424 E. Sprague and
made off with the company's safe containing cash as well as business keys and paperwork. An
employee said the garbage man was standing by at the unsecured front door when she arrived about
7:30 a.m. Whapeles determined the suspects were able to enter through the front door by
disassembling the front door lockset. Inside, they rifled desk drawers and files, and then pulled the
large and heavy safe from a concrete fixture. They placed the safe on a wheeled dolly and rolled it
outside, apparently to a waiting vehicle. Whapeles collected items for forensic examination, but was
unable to locate any witnesses to the burglary.
Burglar Strikes Quik Lube - A burglar smashed the glass from a roll-up door overnight and pilfered
change from Spokane Quik Lube, 14704 E. Sprague, the manager told officers. Police received an
alarm about 1:45 a.m. and found the smashed window, but no one was available to respond to the
store to determine what might be missing. At the time, Officer Cole Speer noted loose coins
scattered on the office floor, but little else. The manager called Officer Walter Loucks to the business
about 7:45 a.m. and told him that the break-in occurred sometime after close of business around 6
p.m. and that it appeared the suspect had rifled areas in the office where cash might have been
located. He said none was missing.
Broadway Grocery Robbed - A lone suspect entered the Broadway Mini Market at 10304 E.
Broadway a little after 8 p.m. and robbed the clerk of an undisclosed amount of cash. The business
owner told Officer Mark Brownell that he was not present at the time of the robbery, but received a
call from his employee. He drove to the store, spoke with the employee and then called 9-1-1
roughly a half hour after the stick-up. The employee told the officer that the white male suspect
entered the business and demanded "the money." The employee was seated watching television and
did not immediately respond to the suspect's demands. After several seconds, the robber raised up
the bottom of his coat and displayed the butt of a pistol that he had tucked in his waistband. The
Page 6
employee got up and handed the man a small amount of cash from the till. The suspect walked from
the store and then ran westbound along Broadway. No vehicle was seen. The suspect was later
arrested in relation to another robbery and ultimately confessed to this crime as well.
Identity Theft Arrest — A Spokane Valley woman could face at least nine counts of identity theft
after Spokane Valley Property Crimes detectives served a search warrant at her home. Authorities
arrested a female suspect; her husband was already in jail on unrelated charges. Detectives found
multiple fake credit cards, fake identification cards and real identification cards that belong to other
people in the couple's home. The couple appears to have been involved in a lot of this type of
activity. The husband was arrested in Liberty Lake on March 12 after leading police on a high-speed
chase. Officers later recognized his car as one that matched the description of a vehicle used in a
home burglary. The investigation led detectives to the couple's home in search of stolen property.
The husband was previously charged with breaking into several homes, including one belonging to
Ernie Creach. Detectives plan to serve at least one more search warrant in the case and say more
arrests are possible.
Elderly Couple Robbed In Home - A couple in their 60's was robbed in their South Edgerton home
by a white male suspect who forced his way past the wife at the front door. The husband told Officer
Walter Ryan that he was on a couch when he and his wife heard a knock at the door about 8:45 p.m.
He called to his wife not to answer it, but she opened the door when she looked out and saw a man
standing there. The suspect asked for "Steve." When she said no one by that name lived there, he
pushed his way inside and confronted the husband and demanded money. When the husband told the
thief he didn't owe him any money, the suspect pushed the husband over the couch, grabbed the
wife's purple purse from a closet door knob and ran from the home. Officers and a K-9 team
checked the area, but were unable to locate the robber who was described as being in his mid 20's,
5'06" to 5' 10" tall, unshaven with dark hair and eyes. He wore a brown hooded sweatshirt with the
hood over his head, and khaki-colored pants.
Couple that Capers �'ogether gets Captured Together - Spokane Valley Police arrested a man and
woman after the two were spotted prowling vehicles inside a fenced lot at Appleway Honda on East
Sprague Avenue. A private security guard for Gus Johnson Ford alerted officers about 2:15 a.m. that
two suspects were breaking into vehicles at Appleway Honda. Officer Mark Benner arrived and
detained the suspects as they were crawling from under a fence on the west side of the lot. Benner
identified them both 18-year-old suspects. The two told officers they had been drinking earlier in the
evening and decided to go look at vehicles. While entering 10 to 15 cars on the lot, one suspect had
pocketed some disposable face masks, a key fob and several keys. Benner arrested both suspects and
booked them into the Spokane County Jail on felony counts of Second-Degree Burglary.
