Hello,
Please preserve supporting protection of natural lands and wildlife habitat.
I strongly prefer Alternative 3 as the City's selected growth alternative. This support is conditioned on the EIS adequately evaluating cumulative environmental impacts at the comprehensive plan level and ensuring that those impacts are avoided or mitigated through adopted development regulations, consistent with SEPA.
- Alternative 3 provides the greatest long-term climate, land-use, water, transportation, and infrastructure-efficiency benefits
I urge the City to establish clear guardrails before broadly applying exemptions, including completing an inventory of existing urban natural assets - such as tree canopy, habitat value, and ecological connectivity - to ensure that infill development does not result in unmitigated impacts to environmental resources within urban neighborhoods
- We oppose the blanket Environmental Review exemption in order to protect critical areas such as wetlands, forests, wildlife habitat and riparian areas in neighborhoods. Exhibit 7 in the EIS, shows all neighborhoods will be exempted from environmental review in two phases
- We Support environmental review exemption only if the proposed development area is 100% disturbed and impervious as identified in the Draft EIS Exhibit 3.1-3. Existing Hard (Impervious) Surfaces.
Please think of Spokane's future in terms of quality of life for posterity. Please think about decisions that were made in past generations that didn't consider the safe use of lands, waterways, the interconnected nature of our resources; think of the prices we pay now in the flow and polution even of our river and conserve environmental review.
