character. Staff will revise language as discussed and bring forward an updated draft for the

The state has mandated that there be alternate housing options to provide affordability within the
city. She explained the state-mandated guidelines that we will follow for co-housing. The legal
deadline is December 31, 2025 for adopting co-housing regulations. She shared the tentative
schedule for implementation and would like to align this public hearing with the sign code public
hearing.
Citizens Comments: None
Secretary’s Report: Director Key shared that the Comprehensive Plan meeting schedule has
again been updated and attached to the Commissioner’s meeting packets.
Plans for community engagement are being made for the Farmers’ Market and the Barefoot in
the Park event. Director Key had previously met with the Community Engagement commission,
and they are very interested in assisting us with getting posters out, etc. The mayor would also
like us to have a town hall regarding the housing element. Director Key would like to have a draft
of the policies and a rough draft of the chapter prior to presenting.
Staff is currently working on OFM population estimates that are scheduled to come out in early
summer.
Director Key mentioned a few projects currently in review. Legacy Ridge Phase F is going through
the Reasonable Use Exception process for this final phase. She anticipates the decision will get
appealed. Also, Phase 2 of Bella Lago preliminary plat has been submitted and will also require
a Reasonable Use Exception for the proposed roadway construction. The preliminary binding
site plan for Telido Station has also just been submitted and in process. It is going to be a very
busy summer for us.

March 12, 2025
Cultural & Historic Resource Element Workshop: Lance Mueller, Associate Planner, gave a
presentation on updates and revisions to the Comprehensive Plan’s Cultural and Historical
chapter. Input has been gathered from members of the Parks and Arts Commission and local
historian, Ross Schneidmiller. Revisions discussed were to include area history beyond the city
limits, remove outdated or unclear policies, and clarify the need for future historical references to
use location-based terminology (e.g. street names, intersections) instead of business names for
consistency. Lance is currently working on an interactive “story map” for public education
regarding the City’s cultural landmarks and historical places.
The Commissioners recommended staff propose refined language to reflect discussed changes.

which is planned to include students from Ridgeline High School. He is hopeful that the
Commission will be invited to see the students create and plan a city in designated teams.
Commissioner Mann reminded the Planning Commission that periodically the Commission
provides a report to City Council and wanted to mention that this reporting does not need to only
come from the chairperson. He encourages anyone that would like the opportunity to just let him
know.
Commissioner Folyer shared that the City of Airway Heights has requested the Washington State
Building Code Council change the building code for single family residences to include fire
sprinkler systems. He asked if this is something that the City should bring to Spokane Valley Fire
District or if it is even worth mentioning.
Commissioner Jencks asked a question regarding the status of I-2066 and natural gas. We are
currently in a holding position on this matter.
Adjournment: Commissioner Jencks motioned to adjourn the meeting, seconded by
Commissioner Folyer. The motion carried unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 p.m.

(which reflect requirements) and the LCA summary, this is
Affordable and Special-Needs Housing just a blended compila on of what is contained in the
exis ng Comp Plan for the Housing & ?Community Service
Affordable housing spans various types and price points to meet the diverse needs of the Elements

housing standards.
Infrastructure and Services
Effec ve housing policies are supported by clear, consistent regula ons that reduce development
barriers and align with community goals. Concurrently, addressing basic human needs—such as
food security, employment assistance, and social support—requires collabora on among local
agencies, civic groups, and businesses.
Housing Needs Assessment
Residen5al Land Capacity Analysis [exec summary to be expanded]
As a part of the 2026 update process, the City conducted a land capacity analysis (see Appendix
XX, Land Capacity Analysis) to determine if there was adequate supply of vacant land suitable for
development in order to meet the popula on growth and housing demand projected for the City
through the year 2046. This analysis assumed a variety of housing types and densi es consistent
with this Comprehensive Plan and the City’s Development Regula ons. The analysis indicates that
the City’s popula on at build out will be approximately 22,000 which will meet the popula on
targets established for the City, and further. It further indicated that the housing types that are
assumed to be affordable for various income levels were allowed under current development
regula ons, in quan es that would meet projected housing needs by income level.
Housing Affordability Strategies
Racially Disparate Impacts
Looking Ahead: Building Resilience
Understanding and responding to the evolving needs of Liberty Lake residents is central to this
plan. Through ongoing reviews, public engagement, and strategic policy adjustments, the City will
con nue to promote housing stability and provide essen al community services, fostering a
thriving, inclusive, and sustainable future.
