Background:
In February 1999, the City of Spokane adopted the
Plan for a New Downtown as part of its
Comprehensive Plan. Since the creation of the Plan, over $3
billion has been invested in the Downtown Core. The Plan
provides design guidelines, zoning regulations and targeted
projects for City staff, developers, and business leaders
alike to follow in order to ensure vibrant, safe and
proactive measures as we rebuild Downtown.
Purpose:
Updating the Downtown Plan is critical. Most major
projects laid out in the Plan have been completed and
growth is occurring far beyond the imagination of the
pioneers who helped shape Downtown’s regulations in
1999. Since then, new development issues and opportunities
have arisen and now it is necessary to clarify certain
zoning and code regulations. A targeted list of the next
series of projects that will mold Downtown’s future
must be established. A shift from exclusively economic
development initiatives to more urban design and managing
growth is necessary within the updating process.
