Planning

River District is a 730 acre master planned community located partially in unincorporated Spokane County and partially in the City of Liberty Lake. This site, north of Interstate 90 at Liberty Lake, has over four miles of Spokane River frontage. While directing planning and community design at Greenstone, Mike was responsible for preparing the River District Specific Area Plan (RDSAP) for approval by the City of Liberty Lake. He was the primary point of contact in presenting and negotiating the details of the RDSAP development regulations with the City of Liberty Lake Plan Commission and City Council.

Kendall Yards is a new neighborhood in the City of Spokane, that showcases an integrated mixed use community, with a distinctly urban style. Designed to be pedestrian oriented, Kendall Yards provides easy access and connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods and downtown Spokane. The Kendall Yards parks and open space plan is built on the 1908 Olmstead Brothers vision for a Great Gorge Park in the heart of the city. The key unifying element of the plan is the long awaited extension of the Centennial Trail from Monroe to the Sandifur Pedestrian Bridge and Summit Boulevard to the northwest. The new linear park on the north rim of the gorge connects existing and proposed parks and open space within Kendall Yards.
