The City of Spokane is reconsidering a request from 2017 to amend the maximum building heights allowed on the south side of Spokane Falls Boulevard along Riverfront Park. The area to be considered for changes extends from the Grand Hotel westward to the Central Branch of the Spokane Library, and affects only the northern half of those blocks. The City considered changes to these areas in 2017 and 2018, but did not act at that time.

UPDATE: The City Council is considering an interim Ordinance that would temporarily eliminate maximum building heights in all downtown zones. This Ordinance would stay in place while the City completes the required updates to the Comprehensive Plan. It is expected that the Comprehensive Plan update will address, among many topics, heights in Downtown Spokane as well as other policies and standards related to downtown development.

The City Council is expected to vote on the interim Ordinance at their March 24 Legislative Session. The Agenda is available at my.spokanecity.org/council/

  • Public Preference Survey

    The City of Spokane is asking for the public's input into proposed changes to height limits in the DTC-100 zone in downtown Spokane.  The DTC-100 zone encompasses the northern half of about six blocks along the south side of Spokane Falls Boulevard.  As shown in the map below, the proposal would only affect those parcels that face onto Riverside State Park and some of Huntington Park.  To help inform decisionmakers like the Spokane Plan Commission and City Council, staff has developed this short survey, asking respondents to lend their voice into the proposal.  Please take five minutes to complete our survey and help us understand your thoughts on this topic.  Thanks!
