Spokane planning staff outline timeline, alternatives for Plan of Spokane 2046 update and EIS
Summary
City planning staff told the Spokane Plan Commission on June 11 they aim to release a draft environmental impact statement this fall and asked commissioners to review new maps, alternatives and technical memos as the Plan of Spokane 2046 update advances toward public outreach and council review in 2026.
Terrell Black, planning staff for the City of Spokane, told the Plan Commission on June 11 that the city is advancing the Plan of Spokane 2046 update and its environmental impact statement, with a goal of producing a draft EIS in October and public outreach in October and November.
The draft alternatives under review include a “no action” baseline and two other alternatives described as “distributed and balanced growth” and a variant with more transit-linked intensity. "Our goal is October, and we are planning a lot of public outreach in October and early November," Black said.
The memo and presentation staff provided describe the EIS process, the analytical thresholds the consultants are using for topic areas, and the data that will feed modeling. Black said the consultants were compiling modeling inputs and that staff expects to send consolidated comments to the consultant by June 17 so modeling can begin.
