350 Spokane strongly prefers 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
The City is considering expanded use of SEPA infill and housing exemptions. Given this approach, 350 Spokane urges 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
- We oppose the blanket Environmental Review exemption in order to protect critical areas such as wetlands, forests, wildlife habitat and riparian areas in neighborhoods.
Thank you for your attention to this request.
