9. On September 6, 2022,the City Council approved Resolution 4242 accepting a notice of
intent to annex approximately 20.77 acres generally located east of Road 68 between
Deseret Drive and Kau Trail Road. City Council subsequently approved Ordinance 4627
on 5 December 2022,annexing the area into the City of Pasco.
10. Following acceptance of the Notice of intent the Hearing Examiner is to hold a zoning
determination hearing. The purpose of said hearing is for the Hearing Examiner to
recommend appropriate wning districts for the annexation area.
I1. In determining the most appropriate zoning for the annexation area, the Hearing
Examiner needs to consider the existing land uses,nearby development,zoning, policies
of the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Use Designations of the Land Use Map. The
Hearing Examiner also needs to be guided by the criteria in PMC 25.210.060 (as
discussed below)in developing a zoning recommendation.
12. In determining the most appropriate zoning for the annexation area, the Hearing
Examiner needs to consider the existing land uses,nearby development, zoning, policies
of the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Use Designations of the Land Use Map. The
Hearing Examiner also needs to be guided by the criteria in PMC 25.210.060 (as
discussed below) in developing a zoning recommendation.
13. The purpose of the annexation is to expand primarily residential opportunities within the
CiTy of Pascds Urban Growth Area(UGA).
14. To maintain consistency with current zoning, land uses, utility planning and the
Comprehensive Plan, appropriate zoning should be applied to the proposed annexation
area.
15. The initial review criteria for considering a rezone application are explained in PMC
25.210.030. The criteria are listed below as follows:
15.1 The date the existing zone became effective:The current zoning was initiated by
the County(No known date).
15.2 The changed conditions which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
152.1 The property is located within the Pasco Urban Growth Boundary.
15.2.2 The properiy in question is being annexed to the City of Pasco.
15.2.3 Upon annexation the property will need to be zoned.
]5.3 Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety
and general welfare:
15.3.1 The property has been annexed to the City and will need to be zoned.
The justification for the rezone is the fact that if a zoning designation is
not determined the property could become annexed without zoning;this
Alford/Cole Annexation(ZD 2022-003)
Page 2 of 5
has become the case.As well,the current County RS20 zoning does not
comply with the Pasco Comprehensive Plan.For the advancement of
the general welfare of the community the property needs to be zoned.
]5.4 The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent property and
the Comprehensive Plan:
15.4.1 Staff has recommended R-1 (Low-Density Residential)zoning for the
annexation area. Rezoning the property to R-1 will align closely with
the Comprehensive Plan Land Use designations for the area.
l 5.5 The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
15.5.1 Without the annexation area having been assigned a specific zoning
district,the area is now essentially un-zoned. The current County
Designation would not allow for development in conformance with the
Pasco Comprehensive Plan or City standards. The area needs to be
zoned to provide certainty and benefit to the property owners,
developers, and adjoining property owners.
15.6 The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the property:
15.6.1 The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designations for the property is
Low-Density Residential.
16. The site contains approximately 20.77 acres and is located east of Road 68 between
Deseret Drive and Kau Trail Road.
17. Contiguous properties to the east and north were annexed in 2022(Ordinance 4574 and
4591, respectively).
l 8. The parcels are all located within the Urban Growth Area(UGA);parcels in the
proposed annexation area are designated by the Comprehensive Plan map for Low-
Density Residential uses.
19. The Description and Allocation Table of the Comprehensive Plan specifies that the
Low-Density Residential designation may be developed with Single-family residential
development at a density of 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre,and may be zoned R-S-20,R-
5-12, R-S-1, R-1, R-1-A, or R-1-A2.
20. The proposed annexation area is within the City's service area as identified in the
Comprehensive Water and Sewer Plans.
21. The site is part of the East UGA Expansion Sewer Local Improvement District(LID.
22. Public notice of this hearing was posted in the Tri-City.Herald and sent to property
owners within 300 feet of the property on November 30, 2022 and again on December
228, 2022.
23. City Council approved Resolution 4242 On September 6,2022, accepting a notice of
intent to annex.
