Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 7
1.1 INTRODUCTION
1.1.1 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The City of Pasco has been experiencing rapid growth over the last two decades. The population of
the City has grown from 32,066 in 2000 to 59,781 in 2010. According to the Office of Financial
Management estimate, the 2022 population of Pasco is 80,180. This is a 34% increase from its
population in 2010. According to the Office of Financial Management estimates, the City’s
population is estimated to reach 121,828 in 2038. This will be a 52% increase from the City’s 2022
population. With its growth, the City needs to provide adequate housing, jobs, infrastructure, and
amenities for its future residents. The Broadmoor area is expected to hold a major share of the
City’s future growth in its approximately 1,240 acres of underutilized and vacant land. The purpose
of the Broadmoor Master Plan is to provide a framework for the coordinated and long-term
development in this area. It also provides guidelines for regulatory compliance for developments.
The Broadmoor area is intended to develop as a master-planned mixed-use pedestrian-friendly
community with a variety of jobs and housing
opportunities to meet the needs of the residents. The
Broadmoor Area Master Plan (the Plan) will integrate
the built and natural environments in a way that
protects the environment yet provides amenities the
community needs such as parks, shops, and schools.
The purpose of the plan is to:
Create a community with a mix of complementary developments
Adjust current land use of the Broadmoor area to accommodate higher density mixed-use,
commercial, non-residential, and residential developments to accommodate the City’s
future growth
Provide adequate public facilities and infrastructure for the area to be developed
Re-allocate open space locations based on recent changes in irrigation water management
and an area-wide mitigation strategy for shrub-steppe habitat
Provide a reliable transportation system that allows for a variety of mobility options for
both motorized and non-motorized users
Provide necessary preservation and mitigation for the natural environment and habitat areas
1.1.2 LOCATION AND CONTEXT
The area is located at the northwest side of Pasco, bounded by the Columbia River to the west,
Broadmoor Boulevard to the east, and Interstate 182 (I-182) to the south. It is located more or less
in the geographic center of the Tri-Cities region. Figure 1-1 shows the area and the vicinity.

BACKGROUND AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 8
FIGURE 1-1: BROADMOOR AREA AND VICINITY
1.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS
This section describes existing conditions of the Broadmoor area in terms of land use, zoning,
ownership, topography, infrastructure, environmental conditions etc. Existing condition analysis in
this section is updated as of December 12, 2022.
1.2.1 EXISTING LAND USES
The Broadmoor area is mostly undeveloped. A small portion of this area is used for agricultural
activities by multiple owners. Approximately 250 acres are already in the process of various housing
developments (Affinity & Hydro Broadmoor Apartments, Solstice, Dunes, and Columbia Shores).
FIGURE 1-2: CURRENT LAND USES
BACKGROUND AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 9
About 300 acres are devoted to mineral extraction (Central Pre-Mix). Approximately 58 acres of
land is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Columbia River shoreline and is
designated Open Space. Approximately 800 acres are currently vacant, undeveloped, or used by
small family farms. The area north of Burns Road outside the Broadmoor area is being developed
with newer residential subdivisions. The City has been experiencing an ongoing development
interest from the development community on the vacant areas.
Recent changes in irrigation water management leave the previous tailwater pond unused. The
Central Pre-Mix operates under special permits that include approximately 300 acres of land for
sand/gravel extraction, rock crushing, concrete processing, concrete batch plant operations, hot
mix asphalt plant operations, and other related activities. The mining permit is expected to expire in
2025 without renewal.
The vacant lands abutting Broadmoor Boulevard to the west have been used by Outdoor
Recreational Vehicle (ORV) enthusiasts for four-wheeling and dirt biking for decades. The natural
environment in this portion of the Broadmoor area has been severely degraded by such activities.
The area abutting the Columbia River, west of Shoreline Road, is identified as natural resources area
owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Figure 1-2 indicates current and ongoing land uses as
of the end of the year 2022.
1.2.2 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE AND ZONING
The existing Comprehensive Plan land use for the Broadmoor area currently has a mix of medium to
medium-high-density residential land uses throughout the area, with commercial designations
along Harris Road and mixed-use and office designations along Broadmoor Boulevard, Sandifur
Parkway, and Burns Road. Mixed land use is also designated on the west side of the Broadmoor
area abutting the Shoreline Road. Open space areas are located along historical irrigation drainage
areas, even though this drainage has recently been re-routed to the Columbia River. Recent
developments and approved plans will result in significantly reduced densities and non-
conformance with the current medium density land uses.
Figure 1-3 indicates land use within the site and vicinity. Table 1-1 indicates land use acreages in the
area.
BACKGROUND AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 10
FIGURE 1-3: EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE
TABLE 1-1: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USES (EXISTING)
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Area (Acres) Percent
Medium Density Residential 549 44%
Medium - High Density Residential 201 16%
Office 67 5%
Commercial 50 4%
Mixed-Use Neighborhood 76 6%
Mixed-Use Regional 139 11%
Open Space 159 13%
Total 1,240 100%
Land use does not include rights-of-way (based on parcel geometry).
Low Density Residential: Although the land use does not include low density residential, an
approved low density residential development (Solstice) will be developed in the Broadmoor area
at a density of 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre.
Medium Density Residential: This allows single-family homes, townhouses, apartments, and
condominiums at a density of 6 to 20 dwelling units per acre.
BACKGROUND AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 11
Medium High Density Residential: This allows single-family patio homes, townhouses, apartments,
and condominiums at a density of 8 to 15 dwelling units per acre.
Office: This allows professional office and personal services, resource centers, etc.
Commercial: This land use includes neighborhood, community, and regional shopping and specialty
centers, business parks, service, and office uses.
Mixed-Use Neighborhood: This allows townhouses, multi-family developments, neighborhood
grocers/markets and drug stores, vertically integrated buildings, live-work spaces, and other
neighborhood scale offices and uses.
Mixed-Use Regional: This allows general retail operations and shops, grocery stores, residential
above commercial/office, high-density residential, dining, entertainment uses, etc.
Open Space: Development other than parks, trails, and recreational areas will be severely
restricted.
1.2.3 ZONING
The Broadmoor area is currently zoned R-T (Residential Transition), C-1 (Retail Business), R-1/PUD
Low Density Residential Planned Unit Development), and R-3 (Medium Density Residential). The
R-T zone is generally applied as a holding zone for areas that lack necessary urban utility services. As
utilities become available, lands zoned R-T can then be transitioned (through the rezone process) to
a zoning classification in conformance with Comprehensive Plan designations for the affected lands.
1.2.4 TOPOGRAPHY AND STORM DRAINAGE
The topological features at the Broadmoor area include dunes, gradually sloping or flat agricultural
areas and residential development, man-made below-water table depressions at the American Rock
Products (ARP) facility, and a steep sloped hillside, running north-south, located north of Burns
Road outside of the Broadmoor area.
The City’s stormwater runoff system works through a system of catch basins, infiltration galleries,
collection ponds, on-site collection and dissipation systems, and grassy swales along roadways. The
Broadmoor area currently does not have a storm drainage system in place in the undeveloped
areas. Figure 1-4 indicates existing topography of the area.
BACKGROUND AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 12
FIGURE 1-4: TOPOGRAPHY
1.2.5 OWNERSHIP
Land in this area is mostly under private ownership. There are five large parcels with parcel sizes
more than 100 acres. Pasco School District owns approximately 74 acres of land north of this area.
Figure 1-5 shows ownership of the area as of 2021. Most of the large parcel owners have expressed
interest for a planned development of the area.
FIGURE 1-5: LAND OWNERSHIP
BACKGROUND AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 13
1.2.6 ACCESS AND CIRCULATION
The I-182/Road 100 (Broadmoor Boulevard) Interchange is located directly southeast of the
Broadmoor area. This interchange provides a convenient connection point to all areas within the
Tri-Cities and is one of the few main connections between Pasco and I-182. The interchange was
upgraded in 2009 with the addition of two new ramps to facilitate easier access to the freeway
from Broadmoor Boulevard.
City and County streets are located on the periphery of the Broadmoor area only. Broadmoor
Boulevard is located to the east, Harris Road is to the south, Shoreline Road is to the west, and
Burns Road is to the north. Dent Road and Kohler Road extend to the northern boundary of the
Broadmoor area intersecting Burns Road. Burns Road runs east west and extends beyond the
boundary of the Broadmoor area. Sandifur Parkway from the east ends at Broadmoor Boulevard.
Except for Broadmoor Boulevard, all roads within the area have two lanes. This area lacks adequate
internal circulation, in terms of north-south connection between Burns Road and Harris Road, and
east-west connection between Broadmoor Boulevard and Shoreline Road.
1.2.7 INFRASTRUCTURE
As discussed previously, the Broadmoor area currently does not have adequate infrastructure
available to serve the area. The new subdivisions south of Burns Road (Solstice), and the planned
unit development (Columbia Shores) south of Harris Road, are served by the City’s water system
and soon will be served by the City’s sewer system. Proposed developments are extending service
internal of their development.
WATER
The City’s water system is supplied from surface water withdrawals from the McNary Pool of the
Columbia River. Currently, the system is served by two surface water treatment plants, Butterfield
Water Treatment Plant (WTP), which is a conventional filtration plant, and West Pasco WTP which is
an ultrafiltration membrane plant. According to the 2019 Water System Plan (WSP), the Butterfield
WTP has capacity of 26.8 million gallons per day (mgd) while the West Pasco WTP has a capacity of
6.0 mgd with the ability to expand to 18.0 mgd. The West Pasco WTP is located on the southern
edge of the Broadmoor area. An existing storage tank is located on Broadmoor Boulevard.
Figure 1-6 indicates major water infrastructure serving the Broadmoor area.

SEWER
Figure 1-7 shows the existing sewer system for the entire City as part of the 2021 Comprehensive
Sewer Plan Addendum, completed in November of 2021.
FIGURE 1-7: PASCO SEWER PLAN ADDENDUM
BACKGROUND AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 15
The Harris Road Sewer Transmission Main, a 30-inch-diameter pipe, has recently been constructed
and will provide sewer service in portion of the Broadmoor area. The new main runs from the West
Pasco Trunk Sewer at the intersection of Road 111 and Court Street to the north crossing under
I-182, running northeast along Harris Road at the project boundary. Additional sewer trunk lines
and a pressure lift station have been constructed through a Local Improvement District (LID).
ELECTRICITY
Electrical service in the Broadmoor area is split between the Franklin County PUD and the Big Bend
Electrical Cooperative. The Franklin County PUD serves the Central Pre-Mix facilities and all
properties west of the Wilson farm. The remainder of the area is served by Big Bend. The City is
working with these agencies regarding future growth in this area.
GAS
Gas service is available in the area near the intersection of Sandifur Parkway and Broadmoor
Boulevard. The residential subdivisions to the east of Broadmoor Boulevard and the commercial
properties extending down Sandifur Parkway benefit from this service.
1.2.8 PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
The City of Pasco Parks and Recreation Department provides physical facilities and operates a
variety of programs to meet the community’s needs. This includes establishing a neighborhood park
system and other park facilities, providing organized recreation programs for all age groups, and
performing maintenance to maximize the service life of existing parks and recreation facilities. The
City sets aside budget that supports the acquisition, development, and maintenance of facilities,
and operation and management of recreational programs. Since most of the Broadmoor area is
undeveloped, there is no park land currently identified in this area. The City’s Parks, Recreation and
Open Space Plan aims to ensure equitable park access. The City uses a ¼-mile walking distance from
park access points.
The federally owned property between the shoreline and Shoreline Road is a designated open
space. The area is also identified as a critical area geologically and for habitat purposes.
The tailwater pond south of Burns Road was part of the South Columbia Basin irrigation system.
Portion of the tailwater pond and ditch leading to the pond are designated open space. These are
no longer operational due to a recent change in irrigation water management and will no longer
remain open space.
1.2.9 WILDLIFE AND HABITATS
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) identifies and defines Priority Habitats
and Species (PHS) to prioritize conservation of important fish, wildlife, and habitat resources in

Washington state. Currently in the Broadmoor area there are State Candidate species including the
black-tailed jackrabbit, burrowing owl, sagebrush sparrow, and sagebrush lizard. The shrub-steppe
habitat, which currently encompasses a large portion of the Broadmoor area, is classified as priority
habitat as shown in Figure 1-8.

1.3 ASSETS AND CONSTRAINTS
1.3.1 ASSETS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Proximity to the freeway and the river. The Broadmoor
area has easy access to I-182. This would provide an
opportunity for the area to connect to the rest of the City
and the region. The location of the area abutting the
Columbia River provides significant recreational
opportunities.
Area within the City limits and urban growth area (UGA).
The location of the Broadmoor area mostly within the
City’s UGA allows the City to invest in capital facilities and
promote growth at urban density.
Surrounding growth. Developments are already occurring
in the vicinity, especially to the east and north of the Broadmoor area, and within the Broadmoor
area (Solstice, Dunes, Columbia shores, affinity). Medium-high density growth expected in the area
will support future developments. Additionally, there is interest in commercial developments in the
Broadmoor area.
Vacant land ownership. There are several landowners who own parcels larger than 10 acres. There
are several parcels ranging from 100 acres to 500 acres. Large portion of vacant lands provide
opportunities for planned developments in the area.
Open space. The shoreline area west of Shoreline Road is publicly owned and a designated critical
area. This provides an opportunity for preservation of the area, low intensity recreation, and
shoreline public access.
Tailwater pond. The location of the pond and ditch present challenges for laying out lots and
streets. However, this drainage has recently been re-routed to the Columbia River, providing better
flexibility for developing the area.
1.3.2 CONSTRAINTS
Limited access. Although the Broadmoor area is in close proximity to the freeway, it currently lacks
adequate local access roads to serve the area. Most of the roads to and from the area are not
constructed to the City standards for road design or capacity. Regional access and access to the
Broadmoor area both provided by Broadmoor Boulevard.
Limited infrastructure. The Broadmoor area lacks adequate infrastructure, especially water and
sewer services.

BACKGROUND AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 18
Gravel operation. A portion of the Broadmoor area is
currently being used for gravel mining. The process of
gravel mining and the production of ready-mix concrete
creates the potential of nuisance conditions related to
dust, noise, and truck traffic. Once the operation ends, it
may take years for reclamation of the gravel mining site.
In addition, steep slopes created in the gravel mine area
will make construction of streets challenging.
Truck traffic. Due to the Central Pre-Mix operations and, to a lesser extent, nearby farming, a high
percentage of traffic on Harris Road is truck traffic. The truck traffic creates potential conflicts for
future non-industrial traffic.
Wildlife habitat. The existing shrub-steppe habitat, which currently encompasses a large portion of
the Broadmoor area, is classified as a state priority habitat. Adverse impacts on priority habitats
should be avoided, minimized, or mitigated according to the City’s Critical Areas Ordinance.

pedestrian- and transit-
friendly environment.
BROADMOOR VISION AND PLAN
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 21
7. Provide infrastructure and public facilities to meet the need of the residents.
The area will have necessary infrastructure to support growth and ensure efficient use of public
facilities. This area should also provide amenities and services as growth takes place, such as
schools, parks, police and fire services, and recreational opportunities.
8. Offer flexibility and creativity with monitoring
The design and development will encourage creativity. In order to promote creative design and a
walkable community, there will be provisions of choices and flexibility in the development.
Development of the area will be monitored on a periodic basis to meet the planning vision of the
Broadmoor area.
2.2 PLAN ELEMENTS
This section lays out the plan for future growth within the
Broadmoor area. The area is envisioned to be developed as a
mixed-use pedestrian-friendly community with a variety of
jobs and housing opportunities to meet the needs of the
residents. Land uses in this Plan is proposed to be updated
from the existing Comprehensive Plan land uses. Land use,
circulation, infrastructure, open space, and other public
amenities are planned in an integrated and consistent manner. Various land uses and projected
densities are planned with adequate public facilities and infrastructure to support them. This Plan
accounts for the projected population in the Broadmoor area as part of the City’s 20 years
population projection in the 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan.
2.2.1 LAND USE
The Broadmoor area is envisioned to become a mixed-use and diverse community with easy access
and circulation for bike, pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The area is also expected to accommodate
a substantial portion of the City’s future growth in a higher density environment. It is expected that
it will have necessary uses and amenities to serve the area such as shopping centers with
commercial land use, single- and multi-family housing, civic structures, and various parks. This will
also continue existing industrial use until 2035. After this time period, a land use amendment will
follow with an intended Medium Density Residential use in this land. Examples of specific uses
include low, medium and high-density housing; offices; banks; grocery; retail shops; health/fitness;
auto services; library; schools; recreational facilities (public and/or private); fast-food restaurants;
sit-down restaurants; public open space; and recreational parks, pathways, and trails.
Land use, circulation,
infrastructure, open
space, and other public
amenities are planned in
an integrated and
consistent manner.

The intent of Low Density Residential land use is to allow single-family detached and/or attached
residential homes at a density of 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre. Single-family housing developments
currently exist north of Burns Road bordering the Broadmoor area. Within the Broadmoor area, low
density residential development (Solstice) was previously permitted and is located south of Burns
Road. Developments are guided by the City’s existing R-1 zoning standards.
MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
The intent of Medium Density Residential land use is to allow small lot single-family homes, both
attached and detached, as well as duplexes, multiplexes in this land use. This also includes cottage
housing, multi-family homes, apartments, townhomes, and condominiums. Medium density land
use is proposed south of Burns Road and south of Harris Road. The density shall be at 6 to 29
dwelling units per acre.
MIXED RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL
The Mixed Residential and Commercial designation is generally located along the east and west
sides within the Broadmoor area. This land use is also called Mixed-use in this document. Mixed-use
land uses are intended to create a sense of community by increasing the interaction among
different types of uses, such as residential, commercial, and office, and promoting pedestrian-
friendly environments within neighborhoods. The purpose of mixed use is to encourage more
efficient use of land and public services, increase economic return, reduce transportation costs,
encourage human interaction, create place-making with day and evening activities, create a more
sustainable development pattern, and increase development opportunities.
Mixed uses in this area should be compatible, supportive, and complement each other. Various
uses should be placed in close proximity. To that effect, mixed use can be horizontal in a block
setting, or vertical in a building setting. Uses include townhouses, multi-family developments,
neighborhood grocery, drug stores, coffee/sandwich/ice cream shops, restaurants, breweries,
BROADMOOR VISION AND PLAN
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 24
recreational facilities, vertically integrated buildings, live-work spaces, dry cleaner/laundromat,
salons/spas, daycares, neighborhood-scale professional offices, medical/dental clinics, etc.
In this land use, a mix of use shall consist of at least 20% of residential development at a minimum
density of 21 units per acre for the residential portion of the site. Maximum share of a single use in
the mixed land use shall be 80%. Planning Director may approve ratios and/or density lower than
the minimum up to 10% if the project meets the overall intent of the Mixed Residential and
Commercial land use, and if the development proposal and density based on site plan indicate such
need based on market research.
Mixed Residential and Commercial land use near the Columbia River is aimed to accommodate
recreational uses along the river while maintaining the shoreline environments.
COMMERCIAL
The Commercial land use is intended to allow various commercial uses to serve the area including
retail, wholesale, office, and business parks as well as appropriate public uses and government
facilities.
OPEN SPACE
The Open Space land use is designated for areas that are publicly and/or privately owned to protect
the natural features of the area and provide various recreational opportunities to the community
while preserving the environmental features.
RECLAMATION
The Reclamation land use is designated for areas that are currently or more recently have been
used for gravel mining operations and are planned for future reclamation. Various recreational and
other appropriate uses can be designated in this area. However, a reclamation plan and future
studies shall be required to designate appropriate uses in this area.
INDUSTRIAL
The intent of this land use is to allow short term operation of the existing concrete batch plant,
equipment maintenance building and yard, office, and building material retailer. These uses will
facilitate the development of the Broadmoor Area by providing essential construction and building
materials in close proximity. This use will be terminated in 2035, and the land use will be amended
to Medium Density Residential after the industrial use ends.
BROADMOOR VISION AND PLAN
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 25
2.2.2 COMMUNITY CENTERS AND CORRIDORS
Community centers and street corridors are envisioned to be
the activity centers of the Broadmoor area with a mix of
activities for people to live, work, and recreate. Centers and
corridors along with various land use standards will create and
maintain a “sense of place” for the Broadmoor area. These
centers are ideal to locate various public facilities such as transit
centers, community and event centers, vertical mixed use, and
anchor commercial businesses. Corridors are identified along the streets within Mixed Residential
and Commercial land use and when this land use abuts Commercial land use. Corridors are ideal for
mixed-use developments with an active street environment. Specific standards will apply to these
centers and corridors, as mentioned in Section 3. Three locations have been identified in the
Broadmoor area that shall serve as centers of various types. These are as follows (Figure 2-2):
1. Gateway center at Broadmoor and Sandifur Parkway intersection
2. Mixed-use center at Road 108 and Sandifur Parkway intersection
3. Waterfront neighborhood center at the future north-south roadway and Sandifur Parkway
intersection.

BROADMOOR VISION AND PLAN
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 26
2.2.3 ACCESS AND CIRCULATION
The area currently lacks adequate access. Several north-south
and east-west arterial, collector and neighborhood collector
roads are proposed with the intent of connecting with the
existing street grids for better connectivity.
Existing Burns Road is proposed to be improved as a principal
arterial and serve as a major east-west connection. Existing
Broadmoor Boulevard is proposed to be improved as a
principal arterial. Extension of Sandifur Parkway will be a
central east-west corridor to serve as a minor arterial. Shoreline Road, Harris Road will be improved
as collectors. Road 108, the extension of Kohler Road and an east-west road north of the gravel
operation will be collectors. Buckingham Drive will continue east-west as a neighborhood collector.
Road 103, Road 105, and additional not yet named roads will be neighborhood collectors as shown
in Figure 2-3. Local access roads are not shown and will need to provide local access. Access and
circulation requirements to and through the reclamation area will need to be determined in the
future
An area abutting future extensions of Road 108 and Sandifur Parkway is being considered for future
transit center.
The Transportation System Master Plan (TSMP) provides lists of specific street categories and
design standards based on traffic demand, and the character of the land use district they will serve.
Figure 2-3 indicates the proposed major road network and how the local road network shall be
arranged. Detailed standards are also identified in Section 3 under each land use, as well as in
Section 3.6, Street Environment and Public Realm.
A “complete street” is a
roadway that is designed
to be safe, accessible, and
functional for all users of
the City’s rights-of-way
regardless of age or
ability.

FIGURE 2-3: PROPOSED MAJOR ROAD NETWORK
Pedestrian and bike facilities are required to comply with the city’s complete streets ordinance. A
complete street” is a roadway that is designed to be safe, accessible, and functional for all users of
the City’s rights-of-way regardless of age or ability. The vision of the master plan is to provide
enhanced walkability and multi-modal access. The major road network will include enhanced bike
as shown in Figure 2-4. Additionally, pedestrian connections and public access to the shoreline area
will be provided at multiple locations. The Pasco Rivershore Linkage and Amenity Plan prepared in
2012 indicates potential trails along the shoreline. This plan recommends working with the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, the County, and property owners to design and build an extension of the
Sacagawea Trail with raised wildlife watching decks on piers. Additional access along the shoreline
shall be provided at locations that maximize non-motorized public access to shoreline such as, the
road ends of Burns Road and along Shoreline Road. See Figure 2-8 for proposed park along the
shoreline area and trail connections. The City will work with the property owners to explore
realigning Shoreline Road to increase public access to the shoreline for recreational purposes, and
allow future developments in this area. Further studies and detailed planning will be needed for
appropriate developments along Shoreline Road to create a shoreline-based mixed-use community.
Figure 2-4 indicates the pedestrian and bike network proposed in conjunction with the street
network. Future local roads will be developed with the pedestrian network.

2.2.4 INFRASTRUCTURE
The City is establishing a Local Improvement District (LID) and
assessing the newly available Tax Increment Financing (TIF) for
the Broadmoor area to help fund certain infrastructure
improvements. An LID is a method by which property owners
can share in the cost of infrastructure improvements. LIDs can
be used to help finance improvements such as street construction and improvements, utility
expansion, streetscape improvements, park construction and improvements, revitalization, etc. The
TIF will allow the City infrastructure financing options by using the incremental property tax
increase within the area.
WATER
The area will be served through expansion of existing services along with capital projects to increase
capacity. The City’s capital projects planned to serve the Broadmoor area include:
1. West Pasco WTP: capacity of 6.0 million gallons per day (modular/expandable; the build-out
capacity is 18 million gallons per day when all six treatment trains are installed)
The TIF will allow the City
infrastructure financing
options.
BROADMOOR VISION AND PLAN
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 30
2. Broadmoor Boulevard reservoir (storage): 1 million gallons
3. Pump stations near I-82
New water mains are proposed along Court Street, Harris Road, and Shoreline Road to the south.
Additional mains are proposed in the area between Harris Road, Shoreline Road, and Burns Road.
Figure 2-6 indicates major water infrastructure in Broadmoor area.
FIGURE 2-6: MAJOR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
SEWER
Two lift stations have been proposed for this area, one on Kohler Road, north of the area, and the
other one on the south side, close to the existing gravel operation. Three major north-south trunk
lines are proposed in the area as of March 2022 as shown in Figure 2-7. The City plans to provide
sewer services to the areas that are currently not served through the LID process according to the
City’s Comprehensive Sewer Plan Addendum, also shown in Figure 1-7.

Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 31
FIGURE 2-7: MAJOR SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE (PROPOSED)
2.2.5 WILDLIFE AND HABITATS, PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
Development in areas where PHS are present will require mitigation for any unavoidable adverse
impacts. The City, property owners, and WDFW are working on a mitigation plan to be adopted by
all parties. See Broadmoor Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for details (Appendix A).
Parks and open space in the Broadmoor area will be added in parks, plazas, and trails. The City’s
2022 draft Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan indicates level of service (LOS) standards
for various parks and recreational facilities. The LOS goal is 2 acres of neighborhood parks and 2.1
acres of community parks per 1,000 population. Based on the existing inventory, the City is
currently providing 1.3 acres of neighborhood parks and 1.4 acres of community parks per 1,000,
which is around 70% of its goal. According to the City of Pasco’s 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan,
Broadmoor area needs to accommodate approximately 22,000 people. To achieve the LOS goal for
future population, the City will need approximately 44 acres of land for neighborhood parks and
approximately 46 acres of land for community parks in the Broadmoor area (Table 2-2).

Total required 90
Note: LOS 2 acres of neighborhood parks and 2.1 acres of community parks per 1,000
population; parks and open space for a total 22,000 future residents in the Broadmoor area.
Open space throughout the area shall be provided during the developments of the area to create a
network of open space, parks, and bike and pedestrian trails. They will be in the form of
neighborhood and community parks, street corner plazas, courtyards, trails, streetscape, greenbelts
etc. A greenbelt is proposed along the current gravel mining operation site which is expected to be
reclaimed after the operation ends in 2025. See Figures 2-9 and 2-10.
To ensure equitable park access, the planning team uses a ¼-
mile walking distance from park access points. The 2018-
2038 Comprehensive Plan also identifies approximately 40
acres of parkland to be designate in the City’s UGA. A
significant portion of that parkland will be in the Broadmoor
area. No specific location has yet been identified for park lands. Additionally, the existing mining
operation area will be reclaimed to offer some open space and recreational uses.
The federally owned property on the west side of the Broadmoor area contains approximately 61
acres of land. This existing natural open space along the shoreline will continue to serve the
Broadmoor area with shoreline public access and open space. Hiking and walking trails through this
area would provide for public access, recreation, and public enjoyment of the river. Additional
improvements in this area are discussed in The Pasco Rivershore Linkage and Amenity Plan
Rivershore Linkage Plan) prepared in 2012, and under sub-section 2.2.3 Access and Circulation.
Figure 2-8 indicates proposed park and trail facilities on the federally owned property. It also
includes proposed bike facilities throughout the Broadmoor area. Proposed trail along the shoreline
is intended to connect with the Sacajawea Heritage trail. The following short and long terms plans
are proposed in the federally owned area according to the Rivershore Linkage Plan.

All new developments and redevelopments in the City are required to design and install stormwater
systems that retain runoff on site for the established design storm event. On-site stormwater
collection shall be implemented by projects and may utilize on-site infiltration galleries or collection
swales. These shall function such that stormwater does not leave the project or development, the
system functions effectively, and the project avoids impacts to the Columbia River or native
wetlands or riparian areas. In addition to addressing storm drainage at the project level, the City will
continue to require storm water treatment systems for all road construction.

entire site (Figure 3-8). Units shall be built at or below 1,200 square feet. By design, cottage
housing is geared toward single-family tenancy and can be constructed as either attached or
detached units. Cottage housing developments should be focused around community
courtyards where housing clusters numbering 4 to 12 units open onto the shared space.
FIGURE 3-8: SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOUSING
3.3.2.2 Single-family residential - attached
1. Townhomes: Townhouses are defined as single-family dwellings with at least two floors and
share at least one wall with another house (Figure 3-9). Unlike duplexes or multiplexes,
however, each townhouse is individually owned on an individual lot. No dwelling unit is
located above or below another dwelling unit. The building generally comprises of 4 units.
2. Row houses: A row house is a series or row of single-family attached dwellings units that
faces the street (Figure 3-9). The building is generally composed of 5 or more attached 2- or
3-story dwelling units arranged side by side. The ground floor may be raised above grade to
provide privacy for ground floor rooms. Each dwelling unit shares at least one common wall
with another dwelling unit. No dwelling unit is located above or beneath another. The
primary building sits at the front of the property, with the garage at the rear, sometimes
separated from the primary building by a rear yard. Each row house is individually owned on
an individual lot.

3.3.3 MIXED, COMMERCIAL, AND CIVIC BUILDING TYPES
3.3.3.1 Mixed use Buildings
1. Mixed-use developments integrate two or more land uses, such as residential with
commercial and/or office that support each other with a strong pedestrian orientation. Mix
of uses can be on a site in multiple buildings (horizontal), or in individual buildings (vertical),
or a combination of both (Figure 3-11).
2. Horizontal mixed-use development incorporates residential and pedestrian-oriented
commercial uses (and any additional uses allowed in the underlying zoning district) on the
same lot or contiguous lots (Figure 3-11). This type of development may occur within a
single building where uses are separated by walls or within multiple buildings.

3. Vertical mixed-use development incorporates residential and pedestrian-oriented
commercial uses (and any uses allowed in the underlying zoning district) within the same
building (Figure 3-11). This type of development may occur within a single building or
multiple buildings on the same site or contiguous sites where uses are separated by floors.
4. Pedestrian-oriented commercial use is a commercial enterprise whose customers may likely
arrive by foot and may include restaurants, retail shops, personal service businesses, travel
services, banks (except drive-through windows), and other similar establishments that
generally benefit from pedestrian activity (Figure 3-11).
5. Courtyard Mixed-Use Building. A mix of two building types, the stacked dwelling units, and
courtyard housing arranged around a courtyard (Figure 3-11). This includes access to the
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 50
stacked dwelling and walk-up access to the courtyard housing. The building may include
retail, service, or office uses in the ground floor, with upper floors for dwelling units.
6. Linear Mixed-Use Building. Linear building conceals a parking garage or large-scale buildings
that do not need street frontage, such as movie theater, to create a pedestrian-friendly
environment (Figure 3-11). The building can include retail, service, or office uses in the
ground floor, with upper floors for retail, service or office uses, and dwelling units.
3.3.3.2 Commercial Buildings
1. Commercial/Flex Building. A Flex Building is designed for flexible occupancy by retail,
service, and/or office uses on the ground floor, with upper floors configured for retail,
service, office, and/or other similar uses (Figure 3-12). Second floor units may be directly
accessed from the street through a stair; upper floors are accessed through a street level
lobby.
FIGURE 3-12: COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS
3.3.3.3 Civic Buildings
1. Civic buildings are primarily intended for civic, community and institutional uses, and
generally define the neighborhood. Buildings include schools, public safety buildings,
libraries, recreation, and other community buildings (Figure 3-13). Some facilities carry

3.4 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS BY LAND USE
The following standards shall apply to each land use and its subsequent zoning. Low density
residential land uses under R-1 zone shall not be allowed except for subdivisions that have been
already approved under Low Density Residential land use.
3.4.1 PERMITTED LAND USES
3.4.1.1 Allowed and prohibited uses
1. This section establishes the land uses allowed in each land use designation and the
corresponding permit requirements. A parcel or building subject to the Broadmoor Master
Plan shall be occupied with only the land uses allowed by Tables 3-5 through 3-8. Definitions
of allowed uses are provided in Section 3.3, Building Types and Standards, Section 6,
Definitions and in PMC Chapter 25.15, Definitions. Table 3-9 indicates uses that are
prohibited in the Broadmoor area. If a land use is not identified in this section, the Planning
Director may determine that the use is not permitted, or determine the appropriate
definition and the proposed use to be permitted, provided the Planning Director makes the
findings in writing that the use will be compatible and consistent with the purpose of the
Broadmoor Master Plan.
2. Uses within Reclamation land use are not identified in this development regulations. Uses in
this land use category shall be determined by the City upon completion of a reclamation
study by the Department of Natural Resources.
3. Uses within Industrial land use are not identified in this development regulations. Uses in
this land use category is intended to allow the continuation of existing industrial uses under
the current industrial regulation in the Pasco Municipal Code until 2035. After that, the
industrial land use will be amended to Medium Density Residential.
4. Mixed Residential and Commercial land uses shall be allocated in each Mixed Residential
and Commercial land use planning area (Figure 3-14). Mix of land use shall contain a
minimum of 20% residential and 20% of non-residential use in each planning area.
5. Mixed Residential and Commercial land use can coordinate with another land use that is
located within close proximity (1/4 mile) in order to meet the intent of the horizonal mixed
use. For example, when Mixed Residential and Commercial land use is located next to
Medium Density Residential land use, Mixed Residential and Commercial land use area can
have a commercial development next to the Medium Density Residential land use area in
accordance with the mixed-use standards for commercial uses. Each single use (residential
and non-residential) in this case can be considered a part of a combined mixed-use
development.

3.4.3 MIXED RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL
3.4.3.1 Intent
The purpose of Mixed Residential and Commercial land use is to encourage mixed-use
developments for efficient use of land and public services, increase economic return, reduce
transportation costs, encourage human interaction, create place-making with day and evening
activities, create a more sustainable development pattern, and increase development
opportunities.
The notion of mixed use for the Broadmoor area is to accommodate uses that are compatible,
supportive, and complement each other. Various land uses in the Mixed Residential and
Commercial land use designation should be placed in close proximity. To that effect, mixed use can
be horizontal in a block setting, or vertical in a building setting as shown in Figure 3-17.

four Mixed Residential and Commercial land use planning areas (M-1, M-2, M-3 and M-4)
shown in Figure 3-14 shall be devoted to residential uses, and at least 20% to non-
residential uses. The 80%/20% thresholds for residential, commercial, and non-residential
uses shall be applied based on the following criteria:
a. Use within a specific mixed-use area (M1, M2, M3 or M4)
b. Use is located within and/or overlapping a mixed-use area and/or different land use,
in conformance with 3.4.3.2(1)

IMPLEMENTATION
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 101
The Broadmoor Master Plan will be implemented through various tools and policies by the City and
its partners.
5.1 PARTNERSHIP
The City and property owners should partner in developing the area with common goals and vision.
A public-private partnership will require cost sharing between the City and developers, locating
catalytic projects in the area, and identifying and allocating capital funds for the development of
this area. Other partnership activities will include marketing the area for a business-friendly
environment, welcoming businesses, and promoting innovative businesses.
The City will partner with other public and private agencies.
Benton Franklin Transit Authorities - transit centers, transit stops, and a pedestrian-friendly
environment
Pasco School District – to provide school sites, share school and park facilities
Port of Pasco – jobs and tourism in this area
Franklin County – regional collaboration
Visit Tri-Cities – jobs and tourism
Pasco Chamber of Commerce – business development
Pasco Housing Authority, Homebuilders’ Association – promote various housing choices
5.2 FINANCING
Financing capital projects will be the key in implementing the master plan vision. The City has
already allocated funds in its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for major roads, water, and sewer
infrastructure. Additional financing is being planned through TIF.
5.2.1 TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
According to RCW 39.114, TIF provides a financing tool that local governments in Washington State
defined as cities, towns, counties, port districts, or any combination thereof) can use to fund public
infrastructure in targeted areas to encourage private development and investment. The City of
Pasco may identify Broadmoor as the “increment area.” Once identified, the property tax portion of
increases in assessed value of properties within Broadmoor area can be allocated toward paying for
the public improvement and infrastructure costs of this area.
The City is assessing the use of this tool to finance various transportation projects included under
street improvements in Table 4-1 in the previous section.
IMPLEMENTATION
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 102
5.3 PHASED DEVELOPMENT
The Broadmoor area will be developed in multiple phases based on the local market conditions,
investments, and financing tools as they become available for this area. Initial phase developments
will occur on the east side near Broadmoor Boulevard. Later phases will take place farther to the
west. However, developments on the west side near the Columbia River would likely occur
concurrently with the developments near Broadmoor Boulevard.
5.4 DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
Development regulations under Section 3 of this document will be implemented in coordination
with other municipal codes. When there is a conflict, the more restrictive regulation, or the
regulation that better implement the vision of the Broadmoor area, will apply.
5.5 PERMIT REVIEW PROCESS
The City will identify and designate zoning consistent with all the land uses designated in this
master plan. Zoning and land use shall comply with this master plan and development regulations,
and other applicable PMC regulations.
Development permit process shall undergo a regular site plan permit process for all non-residential
developments in Commercial and Open Space land uses, and residential developments of multi-unit
developments in Medium Density Residential land uses according to Section 5.5.1. Residential
development such as subdivision applications within Medium Density Residential land use shall
comply with Pasco’s subdivision regulations (PMC Title 21) and related application processes.
Developments in the Mixed Residential and Commercial land use shall follow requirements in
Section 5.5.2..

DEFINITIONS
Broadmoor Master Plan and Development Regulations Page 107
6 DEFINITIONS
Articulation: Shifts in the plane of walls, setbacks, step backs, overhangs, and details in order to
create variation in a building façade and divide large buildings into smaller identifiable sections.
Main street frontages: Building facing the street of primary access, also the addressed side.
Mid-block pedestrian connections: Mid-block connections are pedestrian and bike link on an
easement or public land connecting two sides of a block. They are usually located in the middle of a
block and increase access to neighborhoods.
Mixed use: Mixed use development can be defined as developments integrating two or more land
uses, such as residential, commercial, and office that support each other with a strong pedestrian
orientation. Mix of uses can be on a site in multiple buildings (horizontal), or in individual buildings
vertical), or a combination of both.
Mixed use, horizontal: Development that incorporates residential and pedestrian-oriented
commercial or non-residential uses (and any additional uses allowed in the underlying zoning
district) on the same lot or contiguous lots in the same zone. This type of development may occur
within a single building where uses are separated by walls or within multiple buildings.
Mixed use, vertical: Development that incorporates residential and pedestrian-oriented commercial
or non-residential uses (and any uses allowed in the underlying zoning district) within the same
zone. This type of development may occur within a single building or multiple buildings on the
same site or contiguous sites where uses are separated by floors.
Modulation: Variation in the building mass through the use of step backs, setbacks, diminishing
upper floor areas, and/or projecting roof overhangs.
Private Street: Internal circulation roads and driveways that serve individual businesses and connect
with businesses internally within a site or development.
Upper level step backs: Buildings from the ground floor to upper level floors are pushed back
toward the center of the property in order to create variation in building mass.
