Manager to execute Change Order No. 3 with Tapani, Inc. for the Process
Water Reuse Facility (PWRF) Phase 2 Winter Storage Improvements Project.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Engineer’s Construction Estimate $45,488,837.00
Awarded Construction Contract Amount $31,588,246.92
Previously Approved Change Order No. 1 $31,528.58
Previously Approved Change Order No. 2 $250,834.55
Change Order No. 3 $264,488.90
New Contract Total $32,135,098.95
The proposed change order can be accommodated within the project budget,
and is funded through a State Revolving Fund low interest loan awarded by
Washington State Department of Ecology.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Ecology funding agreement WQC-2024-Pasco-00091, which was
authorized through adoption of Resolution No. 4425 on March 4, 2024,
Page 22 of 184
includes a change order allowance to negotiate additional construction contract
changes necessary for successful completion of the project.
Previously approved Change Order (CO) No. 1 provided for the construction
and installation of twenty-one (21) artificial owl burrows to comply with federal
funding and environmental mitigation requirements. CO No. 1 was fully
executed on March 13, 2024 under the authority delegated to the Public Works
Director.
Council approval of Resolution No. 4433 on March 18, 2024 authorized the
City Manager to execute CO No. 2 with Tapani, Inc. on behalf of the City. CO
No. structural substitutions material and addressed 2 construction
system approved installation functional of for needed modifications fully
components as well as maintaining compliance with federal funding and
regulatory requirements.
V. DISCUSSION:
Change proposal requests (CPRs) were identified, reviewed, and packaged for
approval into proposed CO No. 3. These changes address piping and facility
infrastructure modifications needed to maintain fully functioning process water
customer connections and tie-ins. The key changes proposed include:
Piping segments, drain connections, and appurtenances (i.e., reducers,
redundant air vents, pipe anchor walls) are added to accommodate
complete and functioning installation of the connections between the
PWRF storage ponds and the Darigold force mains. These occurred
post design when Darigold’s confirmation of force main pipe sizes and
material selections became available.
A 12-inch flow meter vault has been requested by the City for the new
Darigold process water force main as it had been determined after
design that there are no other means to meter this flow. This includes
additional electrical power to the meter vaults for electrically actuated
components.
Structural modifications to the Irrigation Pump Station (IPS) are needed
to provide sufficient clearance for installation of the 48-inch slide gate
which will be used for the connection to the new storage ponds. The
existing single-leaf roof hatch is not large enough to allow for placement
of the 48-inch slide gate and frame assembly and will require removal
and full installation of a replacement double-leaf roof hatch.
These itemized changes will constitute a third change order to the project in the
amount of $264,488.90 with an increase of ten (10) working days added to the
original contract time.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The existing freeway interchange (I/C) at Broadmoor Blvd. (Rd. 100) and I-182
serves as the area's primary access point for a large segment of the City's
population in the westerly portion of the City of Pasco (City). As development
has have I/C the on demands existing past the over occurred decade,
increased proportionately. The cumulative effects of increased commercial
development to the south of the interstate; office and commercial uses along
Sandifur 100; Blvd.; residential development east of Broadmoor/Rd. and
development of Burns Rd. between Rd. 68 and Broadmoor Blvd. have all
served to fully utilize the existing I/C. During afternoon peak hours, it is not
Page 53 of 184
uncommon for traffic to back up down the eastbound I-182 off-ramp and into
the interstate's mainline.
the both in identified I/C was to improvements for need The the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and the Transportation System Master Plan,
and Six Transportation Year City’s the included reasons these for in

construction of an additional eastbound deceleration lane on I-182, a new
looped-off ramp for northbound Broadmoor Blvd traffic, and a roundabout to
replace the existing signal at the eastbound on/off ramps and Broadmoor Blvd
intersection.
Since the project’s initiation, several change orders have been identified,
reviewed, and approved under the authority delegated to the Public Works
Director. Previously approved Change Orders (CO) No. 1 – No. 4 include the
addition of beam guardrail and terminals; temporary concrete barrier and
impact attenuators; relocation of fiber optic lines and vaults; and the anchoring
of concrete barrier along I-182 corridor.
The cost of CO No. 5 in the amount of $99,961.70 exceeds the Public Works
Director's delegated approval authority. This CO addresses the addition of
miscellaneous items to the contract’s Cement Concrete Pavement pay item.
Per WSDOT’s standard details, cement concrete pavement is to include dowel
bar baskets, steel rebar, and other miscellaneous items as part of the pay item.
Unfortunately, these items were never specified as being incidental to the
contract and the individual items were never listed in the bid document’s
schedule of values.
V. DISCUSSION:
This item was discussed at the April 8, 2024, Council Workshop. City Staff
recommends approval of CO No. 5 in the amount of $99,961.70 for the I-182 &
Broadmoor Blvd. Interchange Project.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Washington State Legislature meets in legislative sessions on a biennial
cycle and in the first session, the primary responsibility of the Legislature is to
pass a budget. Commonly referred to as the "long session", on odd numbered
years, the session typically lasts 105 days. The session that just concluded, on
March the where cycle, two-year the of 7, second the was 2024, year
legislature is tasked with implementing supplemental budgets during a shorter
60-day session.
The City contracts with Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs
(GTHGA) to assist in promoting the Council's legislative priorities to the
Washington State Legislature. For the 2024 session, GTHGA assisted the City
in developing a comprehensive legislative agenda and furthering that agenda
in Olympia through an on-the-ground presence during session.

2024 State Legislative Report
April 10, 2024
Overview of the 2024 Legislative Session
The Washington State Legislature convened the 2024 Legislative Session for 60 days, starting
January 8th and concluding March 7th. Democrats held strong majorities in both the House of
Representatives, 58 to 40, and the State Senate, 29 to 20. Leading up to beginning of the
session, Democrats in the House of Representatives and Senate outlined their priorities for the
2024 session – investing in behavioral health, responding to climate change, increasing gun
control, continuing housing efforts from 2023, and improving special education. As the session
progressed, the realities of session lasting a mere 60 days and being immediately followed by a
challenging November 2024 election cycle quelled ambitions.
Democrats have had control over the Governor’s Office and both chambers of the Legislature
for several years and have adopted many policies that Republicans have objected to. In
response, in 2023, conservative Republicans mobilized to collect the necessary signatures to
file a historic number of initiatives to the Legislature - six. Each of the six initiatives push back on
policies advanced by the Democrats in recent years including repealing the Climate
Commitment Act, repealing the Capital Gains Tax, allowing taxpayers to opt-in to the payroll tax
that funds the Long Term Care Act, increasing parental rights and access to K-12 curriculum
and student records, prohibiting the state or local governments from enacting an income tax,
and allowing police officers to engage in vehicular pursuits on more occasions. For each
initiative, the Legislature could choose whether to 1) adopt the initiative; 2) adopt an alternative
to appear on the November ballot alongside the initiative; or 3) take no action and allow the
initiative to advance to the November ballot for voter consideration. Initiatives adopted by the
Legislature can be amended by future legislatures with a simple majority vote. Initiatives
approved by voters at the ballot can only be amended with a 2/3 vote of the Legislature for two
years after approval.
The Legislature chose to adopt three of the initiatives as part of an overarching strategy to
increase the odds that voters will reject the remaining three initiatives. The Legislature adopted
the following three initiatives:
• I-2111 (prohibiting income tax)
• I-2081 (parental rights)
• I-2113 (vehicular pursuits)
Page 71 of 184
GTH-GOV 2
The Legislature did not take action on the following three initiatives, and they will appear on the
November ballot:
• I-2117 (repealing the Climate Commitment Act)
• I-2109 (repealing the capital gains tax)
• I-2124 (opt out of Washington’s long-term care retirement program)
As the second year of the two-year legislative biennium, 1,105 bills introduced during the 2023
session that were not passed into law were carried over for consideration during the 2024
session. In addition to those bills that carried over, an additional 1,560 bills were introduced. Of
these, the Legislature passed 376 bills into law. A session can sometimes be defined by what
did not pass; this year, several significant policies did not get across the finish line including
capping rent rates, lowering the blood-alcohol-content for drunk driving, increasing the real
estate excise tax to fund housing, increasing the 1% cap on property tax levies to 3%, and
more.
In addition to considering the Initiatives to the Legislature and proposed legislation, the
Legislature adopted supplemental budgets, making changes to the 2023-25 biennial budgets
adopted during the 2023 Legislative Session. See the budget summary section for more
information on the adopted budgets.
One of the major challenges facing the Legislature was the Climate Commitment Act, or
Washington State cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions. The Legislature approved the
Act in 2022, and the first auctions under the program started in 2023 generating significantly
more revenue than was forecasted. This excess in revenue was countered with Initiative-2117,
proposing to repeal the Act. Legislators balanced this by allocating Climate Commitment Act
funds to several projects and programs but making those appropriations contingent on voters
rejecting Initiative-2117.
Following the conclusion of the 2024 Legislative Session, legislators will transition to focusing
on the November 2024 elections. All members of the House of Representatives and roughly half
the members of the State Senate will face re-election. The end of the 2024 session brought
about several announcements of legislators that do not plan to seek re-election:
• Senator Sam Hunt (D-Olympia) has served in the Legislature since 2000; Rep. Jessica
Bateman has announced that she will run for the Senate seat, creating an open House
seat.
• Senator Andy Billig (D-Spokane) has served in the Legislature since 2010; Rep. Marcus
Riccelli has announced that he will run for the Senate seat, creating an open House
seat.
• Senator Karen Keiser (D-SeaTac) has served in the Legislature since 1995.
• Senator Lynda Wilson (R-Vancouver) has served in the Legislature since 2015; Rep.
Paul Harris has announced that he will run for the Senate seat, creating an open House
seat.
• Representative JT Wilcox (R-Yelm) has served in the Legislature since 2011.
• Representative Joel Kretz (R-Wauconda) has served in the Legislature since 2005.
• Representative Spencer Hutchins (R-Gig Harbor) has served in the Legislature since
2023.
• Representative and former Speaker of the House Frank Chopp (D-Seattle) has served in
the Legislature since 1994.
Page 72 of 184
GTH-GOV 3
There are also several legislators who have announced they plan to run for higher office, and as
a result will not be seeking re-election to their positions:
• Senator Mark Mullet (D-Issaquah) is running for Governor. Rep. Bill Ramos plans to run
for the position, leaving an open House seat.
• Senator Kevin Van De Wege (D-Sequim) is running for Commissioner for Public Lands.
Rep. Mike Chapman (D-Port Angeles) plans to run for the position, leaving an open
House seat.
• Representative Jacquelin Maycumber (R-Republic) is running for the 5th Congressional
Seat.
• Representative Kelly Chambers (R-Puyallup) is running for Pierce County Executive.
Still yet, there are legislators who are running for a statewide position but if they are
unsuccessful in winning those races will be able to return to the Senate to continue out the
remainder of their term (two more years). If they are successful, an appointment process will
occur after the November 2024 elections to fill their seats prior to the January 2025 Legislative
Session.
• Senator Manka Dhingra (D-Redmond) is running for Attorney General.
• Senator Patty Kuderer (D-Bellevue) is running for the Office of Insurance Commissioner.
• Senator Emily Randall (D-Bremerton) is running for the 6th Congressional Seat.
• Senator Drew MacEwen (R-Shelton) is running for the 6th Congressional Seat.
• Senator Rebecca Saldana (D-Seattle) is running for Commissioner for Public Lands.
Look toward filing week, May 6-10 for more news about who is choosing to file for state
legislative offices. Filing week will be followed by the August 6th primary election, and the
November 5th general election.
Between legislative retirements and re-election efforts, the Legislature will see yet another re-
arranging of the deck chairs prior to the 2025 session. Following the November 5th general
election, the Legislature will make new chair and committee assignments for the 2025-27
biennium.
Budget Highlights
The Legislature adopted 2024 supplemental budgets, which make mid-biennial budget
adjustments to the 2023-35 budgets that were adopted in April 2023.
Operating Budget: The 2024 Supplemental Operating Budget (click here, labeled “As Passed
Legislature”) spends $1.1 billion to maintain existing programs, and an additional $1 billion to
fund new policy expenditures. The existing programs with the largest increase in cost include
Medicaid medical assistance, the Food Assistance Program, K-12 enrollment, and compliance
with the Trueblood case judgment. The largest new policy expenditures occurred in education
and behavioral health.
Capital Budget: The 2024 Supplemental Capital Budget (click here, labeled “As Passed
Legislature”) allocates $1.3 billion in total funds, with $130.6 million from debt limit bonds and
$1.2 billion from other resources including $688.4 million in Climate Commitment Act accounts
and $307.5 million from the Common School Construction Fund. Several of the appropriations
Page 73 of 184
GTH-GOV 4
are contingent on voters rejecting I-2117. The budget also does not appropriate revenue
generated from the capital gains tax beyond November 2024.
Transportation Budget: The 2024 Supplemental Transportation Budget (click here, labeled “As
Passed Legislature”) spends a total of $14.6 billion, including $340 million from Climate
Commitment Accounts, which are contingent on voters rejecting I-2117. Funds were
predominantly spent on projects already scheduled to receive funding during the 2023-25
biennium. This spending reflects a 0.8 percent decrease in traditional transportation revenues
from what was originally forecasted for 2023-25.
Pasco’s Legislative Priorities
Effective Dates
Unless otherwise noted, bills approved by the Legislature are effective 90 days from the
adjournment of the legislative session. For 2024, that would make most bills effective June 6,
2024.
Regional Emergency Communication
The City of Richland requested funding for a $4 million capital project to replace the joint City-
County aging emergency management communications system. The project received $235,000
in the final Supplemental Capital Budget. The city indicated support for this project throughout
the session.
Public Safety & Behavioral Health
Public Safety
The Legislature continues to grapple with how best to balance police accountability with public
safety. Within the Democrat caucus, some legislators want to advance more police
accountability and reform measures while others would prefer to modify previously enacted
reforms and invest in hiring more law enforcement personnel. This divide was pronounced
during the 2023 session but became more entrenched during the 2024 session with the
emergence of a bi-partisan, bi-cameral public safety caucus led by moderate Democrats. With
the tension between these factions, only modest public safety proposals passed into law this
session.
First Responder Wellness: HB 2311, sponsored by Representative Lauren Davis (D-32nd
LD), requires the Criminal Justice Training Commission (CJTC) to create a task force on
first responder wellness and develop a 40-hour training program and peer support
network. The CJTC will establish and administer a grant program for funding the
implementation of peer support counseling programs within the state. The bill also
amends statutory provisions to allow testimonial privilege during peer support group
meetings. The 2024 Supplemental Operating Budget allocates $1.38 million to
implement this bill (page 434).
Flexibility for Hiring Law Enforcement Officers: Senate Bill 6157, sponsored by Senator
John Lovick (D-44th LD), allows Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) residents
to apply for civil service and law enforcement positions. Agencies who hire DACA
recipients are protected from liability for breach of contract if there is a change in federal
law related to DACA recipients. House Bill 1530, sponsored by Representative Julio
Cortes (D-38th LD), allows law enforcement agencies to hire lawful permanent residents.
Page 74 of 184
GTH-GOV 5
Senate Bill 5424, sponsored by Senator John Lovick (D-44th LD), allows law
enforcement officers to work part-time hours. The 2024 Supplemental Operating Budget
allocates $99,000 to the Department of Retirement Systems for the implementation of
Senate Bill 5424 (page 185 of the Supplemental Operating Budget).
Basic Law Enforcement Academy Donations: Senate Bill 6301, sponsored by Senator
John Lovick (D-44th LD), allows the Criminal Justice Training Commission (CJTC) to
accept donated money or properties for the purpose of carrying out CJTC’s statutory
purposes.
Initiative 2113 (Vehicular Pursuits): Initiatives to the Legislature are proposed changes to
state law sponsored by the people of Washington. House Bill 1054 from the 2021
session established a statewide standard for when police officers can engage in
vehicular pursuits which included what factors must be considered when determining to
engage in a pursuit and banning firing a weapon upon a moving vehicle unless
necessary to prevent imminent threat. Senate Bill 5352 from the 2023 session made
further changes to the statute, expanding the list of eligible reasons to engage in a
pursuit under the reasonable suspicion evidentiary threshold, direction as to when to end
the pursuit and a requirement that the pursuing officer must have completed emergency
vehicle operators’ course. Initiative-2113 allows an officer to engage in a vehicular
pursuit if they have reasonable suspicion to believe the driver has violated the law. The
initiative makes no other changes to the vehicular pursuits law.
Vehicular Pursuit Data Collection: $400,000 is allocated to the Office of Financial
Management to contract with a consultant to collect, review, and analyze data related to
vehicular pursuits and to compile a report. The report must include recommendations to
the Legislature on what data should be collected by law enforcement agencies
throughout the state so that the Legislature and other policymakers have consistent and
uniform information necessary to evaluate policies on pursuits. The report is due June
30, 2025. (page 178 of the 2024 Supplemental Operating Budget).
With passage of the initiative, the Legislature did not move forward House Bill 2390,
sponsored by Representative Clyde Shavers (D-10th LD), which would have created a
new crime for attempting to elude a police vehicle.
Multijurisdictional Drug Task Forces: $50,000 is appropriated (page 94) to coordinate
three roundtables to review policies, regulations, and fiscal investments regarding
multijurisdictional drug task forces. Report due June 30, 2025.
Catalytic Converters: House Bill 2153, sponsored by Representative Cindy Ryu (D-32nd
LD), deters the theft of catalytic converters by establishing new felony and gross
misdemeanor crimes for trafficking, processing, selling, or offering to sell stolen catalytic
converters. To determine if selling a catalytic converter is stolen or not, VIN numbers can
be written on catalytic converters before a legal sale if the buyer requests it. Only
licensed scrap processors are allowed to disassemble or de-can a catalytic converter.
The Washington State Patrol is required to conduct periodic inspections of licensed
purchases of catalytic converters that have been removed from vehicles. The 2024
Supplemental Transportation Budget allocates $46,000 (page 37) to the Washington
State Patrol for the implementation of the bill.
Page 75 of 184
GTH-GOV 6
School Bus Trespassing: Prompted by an incident that occurred in the City of Pasco, the
Legislature approved Senate Bill 5891, sponsored by Senator Matt Boehnke (R-8th LD),
creating the crime of school bus trespassing for any person who knowingly or
maliciously enters or remains on a school bus, does any other act to create substantial
risk or harm to passengers or the drive, and causes a substantial interruption or
impairment to services rendered by the school bus. The bill applies to public, private,
religious school buses, and privately contracted vehicles with the school. School bus
trespass is classified as a gross misdemeanor. A placard is required to be placed on the
bus stating the crime of school bus trespass. Additionally, the crime doesn’t apply to law
enforcement, individuals with written permission, emergency situations, and students
enrolled in the school being serviced by the bus or contracted vehicle. The law will be
known as the Richard Lenhart act. The 2024 Supplemental Operating Budget allocates
$2,000 to implement this bill (page 499).
Hog-tying Prohibition: Senate Bill 6009, sponsored by Senator Yasmin Trudeau (D-27th
LD), prohibits law enforcement officers from hog-tying an individual and makes hog-tying
a form of excessive force. It also defines the term hog-tying to mean fastening together
bound or restrained ankles to bound or restrained wrists. The use of a product or device

following completion of court ordered conditions (House Bill 1994). While the Legislature
considered these proposals, neither advanced out of their chamber of origin.
Behavioral Health
Leading up to the 2024 Legislative Session, a federal court fined Washington State $100 million
for its failure to comply with a settlement agreement associated with the Trueblood court
decision. The 2024 Supplemental Operating Budget reflects paying that fine and continuing to
invest in behavioral health by a total of $660 million. The Legislature also considered ways to

responders as outlined in House Bill 2245. Although this bill did not advance, the Legislature
passed the following bills pertaining to the behavioral health care system.

Bridge over I-182
All the while, the Legislature continues to grapple with the ongoing fiscal challenges related to
the state’s Transportation budget. As shared above, the transportation budget revenues have
declined and pending decisions such as I-2117, have made it difficult for lawmakers to make
additional investments this session. Transportation Budget leaders were not accepting any
project requests this year. However, Pasco’s project requests continue to remain in the queue

GTH-GOV 15
While the Legislature considered several bold policies, such as House Bill 2114, capping rent
increases, and House Bill 2276, generating increased revenue through changes to the state real
estate excise tax, legislators chose to proceed forward with a more subdued approach. Even
more modest proposals including House Bill 2270, proposing to create a Department of Housing
separate from the current Department of Commerce; Senate Bill 5334, authorizing cities to
impose a 10% tax on short term rentals; House Bill 2353, allowing all counties and cities to
utilize the multifamily tax exemption program; and Senate Bill 6030 extending an accessory
dwelling unit (ADU) property tax exemption currently available in King County to all counties, did
not advance.
Below are those proposals that did pass into law:
Housing Affordability Tax Incentives: Senate Bill 6175, sponsored by Senator Yasmin
Trudeau (D-27th LD), establishes a local option sales and use tax deferral for projects
that convert commercial buildings to residential purposes and dedicate 10% of the units
to households making 80% of the area median income or less. The bill also clarifies that
commercial/non-residential buildings being converted to residential under the Multifamily
Property Tax Exemption program. The 2024 Supplemental Operating Budget allocates
$54,000 for fiscal year 2025 to implement this bill (page 103).
Multiunit Residential Buildings Definition: Senate Bill 5792, sponsored by Senator Mike
Padden (R-4th LD), excludes buildings with 12 or fewer units that are no more than three
stories from the definition of multiunit residential building if one story is utilized for above

condominium construction deficit.
Housing Authorities: House Bill 1890, sponsored by Representative Emily Alvarado (D-
34th LD), allows legislative authorities that have created housing authorities prior to June

low-income households.
Property Tax Exemptions for Nonprofits: House Bill 2012, sponsored by Representative
Chipalo Street (D-37th LD), allows voter-approved levy lid lifts, and certain city and
county funds as qualifying funding sources for a project to receive the nonprofit housing
property tax exemption.

Center in Pasco. This funding is listed under the Local Emission Reduction Projects through the
Department of Commerce and is subject to the failure of I-2117 (Climate Commitment Act).
Courts/Public Defenders/Prosecutors
Leading up to session, counties – especially those in Eastern Washington – indicated a
challenge in recruiting public defenders and prosecutors. In response, legislators introduced a
variety of ideas including incrementally increasing the state’s contribution to public defense
costs over time (Senate Bill 5773) and creating a state program to assist local governments with
public defense costs (House Bill 2202). These are just two of the many proposals that did not
advance, below are those that did pass the Legislature.
Public Defense: Senate Bill 5780, sponsored by Senator Nikki Torres (R-15th LD),
expands training opportunities for public defense. The bill directs the Office of Public
Defense to administer a law student rural public defense program, expand capacity for
its defense training academy program, and directs the Criminal Justice Training
Commission to provide a similar program for prosecutors and the administration of a law
student rural public prosecution program. The 2024 Supplemental Operating Budget
allocates $611,000 (page 23) and $694,000 (page 433) to implement this bill.
The 2024 Supplemental Operating Budget allocates $442,000 (page 22) for the Office of

(D-30th LD), amends the statute prohibiting the Office of Public Defense (OPD) from
providing direct representation of clients by allowing managing and supervising attorneys
within the OPD to provide limited, short-term coverage of initial client consultations if
contracted counsel is not available to provide the consultation services. The bill also
allows OPD to coordinate with law schools to place law clerks, externs, and interns with
OPD contracted counsel, and allows OPD to provide pro bono legal services.
Court Reorganizations: House Bill 2034, sponsored by Representative Cheney (R-18th
LD), requires counties and cities to provide the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC)
with notice of court reorganizations and amends portions of the RCW 3.50 relating to
municipal courts. Newly established municipal courts must wait six months after the
notice of intent to create a new court is sent to the Office before having jurisdiction over
any matter. A notice of intent to terminate a court must be sent to the office six months in
advance of the termination date.
Independent Investigations: HB 2086, sponsored by Representative Debra Entenman
(D-47th LD), changes the Office of Independent Investigations’ (OII) authority to obtain
and share specific information with a member of an involved agency. The OII may share
information that is essential to protect the safety of a community or the integrity of an
ongoing or urgent investigation.
Finance/General Government
The Legislature considered several proposals that would have broadly changed how local
governments do business. Many of those proposals, including House Bill 1932, allowing local
Page 86 of 184
GTH-GOV 17
agencies to transition to even-year elections; House Bill 1990, would have established a
statewide aerial imagery service available to local governments; Senate Bill 6232, and House
Bill 2307, attempting to assist agencies in managing public records; and Senate Bill 5924
mandating access to personnel records, and more were considered but did not get across the
finish line. However, several proposals did get across the finish line:
Royalty Receipts for Local Business & Occupation Taxes: $200,000 is allocated to the
Office of Financial Management to conduct a study and provide a report to the
Legislature on royalty receipts apportionment for local business taxes. Report is due to
the Legislature by December 31, 2024. (page 188 of the 2024 Supplemental Operating
Budget).
Study on Electric Security Alarms: $50,000 allocated for the Department of Labor and
industries to work with the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) and associated
stakeholders having an interest in the installation and maintenance of electric security
alarm systems to identify appropriate pathways to streamline the permitting process and
any other recommendations in order to facilitate the installation of these systems in the
state. The report is due December 15, 2024. (page 450 of the 2024 Supplemental
Operating Budget).
Public Comment Notice: House Bill 1105, sponsored by Representative Shelley Kloba
(D-1st LD), requires that whenever a public agency is mandated by law to provide notice
that it is soliciting written public comment, the notice must specify the first and last date
by which such public comment must be submitted. A public agency that violates the
public comment notice requirements is subject to a civil penalty of $500 for the first
violation and $1,000 for any subsequent violation, but no member of the agency is
personally liable for a violation.
Property Tax Levies: House Bill 2044, sponsored by Representative Davina Duerr (D-1st
LD), eliminates a non-supplant restriction applicable to local government taxing districts
located in a county with a population of 1.5 million or more.
Common Interest Communities: Senate Bill 5796, sponsored by Senator Jamie
Pedersen (D-43rd LD), is request legislation from the Uniform Law Commission. The bill
allows the board of an association to amend governing documents to remove any
unlawful restriction based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or other personal
characteristics. The bill adopts many of the most recent amendments to the Uniform
Common Interest Ownership Act and codifies them into the Washington Uniform
Common Interest Ownership Act. Finally, it repeals the Horizontal Property Regimes Act,
the Washington Condominium Act, the Homeowners' Association Act, and the Land
Development Act, effective January 1, 2028.
Adult Entertainment: Senate Bill 6105, sponsored by Senator Rebecca Saldana (D-37th
LD), requires adult entertainment establishments to provide training to employees about
sexual harassment prevention, conflict de-escalation, and first aid. Additional
requirements for establishments include panic buttons, customer behavior, security
personnel, notice of termination and limits to certain charges to entertainers. An
establishment must have written policies addressed in this bill. The Liquor and Cannabis
Board (LCB) is required to modify or adopt rules to allow adult entertainment
establishments to hold liquor licenses. If an establishment receives a citation for a
violation of laws related to adult entertainers and establishments and has not abated the
Page 87 of 184
GTH-GOV 18
violation, then the LCB can suspend the establishment’s liquor license. The LCB is also
to notify Labor & Industries regarding violations related to workplace health and safety
standards. The 2024 Supplemental Operating Budget allocates $40,000 (page 59),
$99,000 (page 202), and $561,000 (page 450) to implement this bill.
Infrastructure & Economic Development
Tax Increment Financing: House Bill 2354, sponsored by Representative Chipalo Street (D-37th
LD), makes technical changes to the implementation of the tax increment financing tool. The
project analysis that is required to be completed by the sponsoring jurisdiction must now include
an assessment on impacts to any junior taxing district, including public hospital service and
emergency medical service. This assessment is in addition to the existing assessment on
several other special purpose districts, including local fire service. The assessment of impacts
for fire service, hospital service and emergency medical service must include any necessary
mitigation. Payment for mitigation is an allowable use of TIF revenue. If parties cannot reach
agreement on mitigation, the bill outlines an arbitration process.
Match Act: House Bill 1870, sponsored by Representative Stephanie Barnard (R-8th LD)
promotes economic development for local communities by requiring the Department of
Commerce to assist local communities with federal grant applications and creating a resource
guide for federal grant applicants. The bill is null and void unless funded in the budget. The
2024 Supplemental Operating Budget allocates $500,000 to implement this bill (page 131).
Technical Changes to Allowable Exemptions for Tourism Promotion Area Assessments: House
Bill 2137, sponsored by April Berg (D-44th LD), allows local governments to exempt lodging
businesses, units, or guests from lodging charges imposed within a tourism promotion area. The
bill is largely technical and stems from recent Department of Revenue feedback to cities on their
interpretation of current allowable exemptions.
Land Use
The 2023 Legislature approved a slew of bills preempting local governments on land use. The
2024 Legislature introduced many bills to continue that trend, but many of them failed to get
across the finish line, including House Bill 2160 regarding transit-oriented development, House
Bill 1245 requiring lot splitting, House Bill 2252 allowing businesses in residential areas, and
House Bill 2474/House Bill 2113 requiring Commerce approval of local housing development
regulations. The Legislature approved several more modest proposals that still contained
preemption of local land use:
Co-Living Housing Bill: House Bill 1998, sponsored by Representative Mia Gregerson
(D-33rd LD), requires cities and counties to adopt regulations or controls to allow co-living
housing. The bill requires cities and counties to allow co-living housing on any lot within
an Urban Growth Area that allows at least six multifamily residential units. Additionally, a
city or county may not treat a sleeping unit in co-living housing as more than one-half of
a dwelling unit for purposes of calculating fees for sewer connections unless the city or
county makes a finding, based on facts, that the connection fees should exceed the one-
half threshold.
Residential Housing Regulations: House Bill 2071, sponsored by Representative Davina
Duerr (D-1st LD), concerns residential housing regulations. The bill directs the State
Building Code Council to convene two technical advisory groups: one to recommend
Page 88 of 184
GTH-GOV 19
changes to apply the Washington State Residential Code to multiplex housing, and
another to recommend changes needed to the International Building Code (IBC) to allow
dwelling units with less than 190 square feet.
Middle Housing: House Bill 2321, sponsored by Representative Jessica Bateman (D-
22nd LD), modifies certain provisions of the 2023 middle housing policies. The bill
requires that cities with a population of at least 25,000 must allow six of the nine types of
middle housing. Cities with less than 25,000 people can choose the number of middle
housing types that meet minimum density requirements. The bill also allows middle
housing to be built on lots where a portion of the lot is a critical area. Finally, middle
housing densities only apply around bus rapid transit stops once construction of those
stops has begun. Areas designated as sole-source aquifers by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency on islands in the Puget Sound from the density
requirements. To implement this bill the 2024 Supplemental Operating Budget allocates
$213,000 for fiscal year 2025 (page 118).
Limited Areas of More Intensive Rural Development: Senate Bill 6140, sponsored by
Senator Shelly Short (R-7th LD), provides an exemption for the square footage
requirements for new or existing retail or service space within a limited area of more
intensive rural development (LAMIRD), given the area is located at least 10 miles from
an existing urban growth area (UGA) and provides an essential rural retail service. The
bill also requires that an existing retail or food service space in a LAMIRD at least ten
miles from a UGA must not exceed the footprint of the previously occupied space or
10,000 square feet, whichever is greater.
Urban Growth Area Swaps: Senate Bill 5834, sponsored by Senator Shelly Short (R-7th
LD) relates to urban growth areas (UGAs). The bill allows counties to conduct a “UGA
swap” during the annual review of a comprehensive plan if the county determines that
patterns of development have created pressure in areas that exceed the available and
developable lands within the UGA. Specific language is included addressing tribal
consultation, critical areas, and requiring a two-year waiting period if the swap includes
areas designated as agricultural, forest, or mineral resource lands of long-term
commercial significance. The 2024 Supplemental Operating Budget allocates $16,000
for fiscal year 2024 and $46,000 for fiscal year 2025 for implementation of this bill (page
119).
Environmental and Land Use Appeals: House Bill 2039, sponsored by Representative
Joe Fitzgibbon (D-34th LD), modifies the process for direct review by the court of appeals
for decisions issued by environmental boards that relate to clean energy projects. The
bill extends, without expiration, the current process for direct review by the court of
appeals for decisions issued by the environmental boards that do not relate to clean
energy projects. Finally, it authorizes the consolidation of appeals arising out of the
same projects when certain criteria are met, and it modifies the jurisdiction of the
pollution control hearings board to hear appeals arising from specified environmental
laws.
Integration of Special Purpose Districts into the Growth Management Act: $250,000 is
allocated to convene a task force to make recommendations to integrate water, sewer,
school, and port districts into the Growth Management Act (GMA). Preliminary report
Page 89 of 184
GTH-GOV 20
due June 30, 2025; final report due December 1, 2025. (page 117 of the 2024
Supplemental Operating Budget).
Permitting Workforce: $25,000 is allocated to the State Board for Community and
Technical Colleges to collaborate with a nonprofit, professional association of state,
county, city, and town officials engaged in development, enforcement, and
administration of building construction codes and ordinances to design and implement
training programs to accelerate the hiring of city and county permit technicians. (page
770 of the 2024 Supplemental Operating Budget).

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council April 12, 2024
TO: Adam Lincoln, City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 4/15/24
FROM: Richa Sigdel, Deputy City Manager
City Manager
SUBJECT: Public Hearing & Ordinance No. 4711 - Dissolution of the Downtown
Pasco Development Authority (15 minutes)
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Ordinance
Ordinance 3985 - Creation of DPDA
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING
MOTION:the formally 4711, No. Ordinance dissolving to move I adopt
Downtown Pasco Development Authority, and, further, authorize publication by
summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In December 2010, the City Council established a Public Development
Authority (PDA) to spearhead the revitalization of the Downtown area.
Additionally, the PDA was tasked with managing the Pasco Specialty Kitchen
and Farmer’s Market and promoting the utilization of the façade improvement
program funded through the Community Development Block Grant allocation.
In May of 2011, the board formed a non-profit and obtained its non-profit
corporation license in Washington State, followed by the appointment of a full
Board in July of the same year. In 2012, they achieved 501(c)(3) tax-exempt
status.
In January of 2015, it was officially designated as a Washington State Main
Page 101 of 184
Street member, entitling the nonprofit to certain benefits, such as the ability to
receive donations with donors receiving a 75% credit against applicable B&O
taxes.
In recent years the City has contributed $100,000 per year on average, much
of this amount (approximately 75%) was offset by the State Utility Tax
reimbursement program.
The Downtown Pasco Development Authority (DPDA) recently received an
audit report highlighting issues regarding the management of funds and
compliance with grant requirements and state laws. The audit revealed a
significant number of invoices lacking sufficient documentation, raising doubts
about the validity of expenses attributed to business purposes. Additionally, the
agency failed to adhere to grant requirements and validate grant eligibility for
recipients. Furthermore, shortcomings were identified in the implementation of
proper cash receipting processes.
Biennial audits conducted by the Office of Washington State Auditor (SAO)
have and documentation in consistently DPDA's highlighted deficiencies
financial management. The audits for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022 revealed
recurring issues, exacerbating concerns about the agency's operational
effectiveness and overall trust. Moreover, the failure to meet grant
requirements represents new challenges for the organization.
As a public development authority with a Board, the City's role in overseeing
the agency's day-to-day operations is limited. The City Council appoints the
Board Members for DPDA who in turn are responsible for employing an
Executive Director to run the operations. The City is responsible for ensuring
that the goals set forth by the City for the funds being disbursed to DPDA were
met per the terms of the funding agreement. The City has extended offers to
provide training and assistance in establishing financial controls and structures.
Unfortunately, significant turnover in the Executive Director position and
organizational culture issues appear to have hindered the establishment of a
disciplined and efficient organization.
Following the resignation of the last Executive Director, the City reassumed
responsibility for its critical services previously managed by DPDA, such as the
Pasco Farmer's Market, Pasco Specialty Kitchen, as well as taking the lead
with various festivals, ensuring continued service to the community. The City
will continue to work with the State Auditor's Office and any other relevant
authority to fully account for the DPDA finances.
V. DISCUSSION:
Considering the significant investment made by the City to revitalize the
Page 102 of 184
downtown core, it is imperative to uphold public trust in local agencies.
Regrettably, the DPDA has failed to maintain that trust both with the public and
with the City. Taking into account these circumstances, Council set a public
hearing for April 15 through approval of Resolution No. 4440 to receive public
input prior to consideration of Ordinance for dissolution.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council March 20, 2024
TO: Adam Lincoln, City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 4/15/24
FROM: Richa Sigdel, Deputy City Manager
City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 4443 - Surplus of City Property Along Argent Road
(Parcel No. 113300252) (5 minutes)
I. REFERENCE(S):
Resolution
Request for Proposal
Presentation
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4443, declaring City-owned real
property surplus, setting the minimum price and the method of sale for Parcel
No. 113300252, and further, authorize the City Manager to sell the property
through realtor listing for a minimum price determined through market analysis.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
TBD
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Historically, City of Pasco has built an inventory of City-owned parcels that
have been sold, as needed, for civic and development needs. The property in
question represents a valuable asset to the city, not just in financial terms but
also in its potential to contribute to the city's development objectives. The right
land use decision could support community goals such as commercial
development or public services enhancement. A request for proposal for
purchase and development provides a formal process for soliciting information
from prospective developers/owners and will enable the City to fairly compare
submissions to ultimately choose a developer and sell the site for the best use.
Page 119 of 184
V. DISCUSSION:
Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Section 2.120.010 authorizes the City Council to
declare property surplus to City needs and offer said property to be sold.
Council shall, according to Section 2.120.020, by resolution, authorize sale by
either fixing a minimum price or authorizing sale through the determination of
minimum price through appraisal or market analysis.

sale of real property the City Council shall declare the same to be surplus and the sale to be in the
best interest of the City, set the minimum price for the sale of the property, and determine the
method of sale; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to PMC 2.120.030 the City Council may resolve to affect the sale
by way of, among other methods, a listing agent, after request for qualifications (RFQ) for a
qualified licensed realtor, but in any event shall declare the method of sale of the surplus property;
and
WHEREAS, in accordance with PMC 2.120.020 the Council shall set the minimum price
for the sale or authorize a determination of the minimum price by way of appraisal or market
analysis; and

and through a listing agent selected through the RFQ process, and authorizes a determination of
the minimum price by market analysis; and

listing for sale of Parcel No. 113300252, subject to final approval of the City Council and in
2accordance with the recommendations of the City’s Real Estate Broker; and
WHEREAS, the City Council listed the subject property with a qualified realtor under the
terms of the negotiated listing agreement (on file with City) which among other things includes
the terms of the listing, the minimum price of the subject property, realtor services to be performed
and expresses that the Council’s approval is a condition precedent to the sale being completed.

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On March 13, 2024, the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing to consider a
request to rezone property at 916 Road 56 (Parcel No. 119631060) located on
the Northwest corner of Castle Holly Court and Road 56, Pasco, Franklin
County, Washington, from RS-20 (Residential Suburban) to R-1 (Low-Density
Residential).
Following the conduct of the public hearing, the Hearing Examiner
recommended approval of the applicant's request for a rezone.
Page 137 of 184
No appeals of this recommendation have been received.
V. DISCUSSION:
The applicant, Juan Ochoa, submitted a request to rezone the property located
at Parcel No. 119631060 from RS-20 (Residential Suburban) to R-1 (Low-
Density Residential) to facilitate residential development on the site. The
property and unit family single dwelling with developed is currently a
associated appurtenances.
Review criteria for considering a rezone application are explained in the Pasco
Municipal Code (PMC) Section 25.210.030. The criteria can be summarized
as:
1. The date the existing zone became effective:
The site was assigned RS-20 zoning in 2013 via Ordinance No. 4078.
2. The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional
zoning:
In 2013 the site was annexed into the City and assigned the Low-Density
Residential designation. Since 2013 the City of Pasco's Comprehensive Plan
has to acre per unit dwelling 3 6 a reflect to updated been minimum
requirement for land designated as Low-Density Residential. It is not possible
to current the Suburban) (Residential under zoned land develop RS-20
Comprehensive Plan, a rezone from RS-20 to R-1 (Low-Density Residential)
would allow the property to develop to Pasco Comprehensive Plan
requirements.
3. Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health,
safety and general welfare:
The Low Density Residential designation allows for RS-20, RS-12, RS-1, R-1,
R-1-A, and R-1-A2 zoning; development with a higher density of dwelling units
per acre will help reduce urban sprawl and increase home ownership. The
rezone application and proposal are consistent with the Council approved
amendments to the Pasco Comprehensive Plan, which has been determined to
be in the best interest of advancing public health, safety and general welfare of
the community.
4. The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent property
and the Comprehensive Plan:
A change in zoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land
Page 138 of 184
Use of Low Density Residential.
5. The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
If the rezone request is not granted the subject property may be developed
under the development standards for RS-20 zoning. RS-20 zoning does not
allow for development consistent with the City of Pasco's Comprehensive Plan.
6. The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the property:
The City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Low Density
Residential which allows for both the RS-12 and R-1 zoning and requires a
density of 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre for both zoning designations.
7. Such other information the Hearing Examiner requires:
The rezone application is consistent with and meets the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan and City Council Goals.
Full descriptions and details can be found in the attached "Exhibit A".
Recommendation--Hearing Examiner:
As noted in the attached "Exhibit A," the Hearing Examiner has found that the
proposed rezone meets the criteria found in the PMC Section 25.210.060, and
recommended, based on the Recommended Findings of Fact and Conclusions
of Law, that the City Council approve the rezone from RS-20 (Residential
Suburban) to R-1 (Low-Density Residential), without a concomitant agreement.
Staff concurs with the Hearing Examiner's recommendation, that Parcel No.
119631060, in Pasco WA., be rezoned from RS-20 (Residential Suburban) to
R-1 (Low-Density Residential).

RECOMMENDED FINDINGS OF
FACT,RECOMMENDED
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW,
AND RECOMMENDED DECISION Z 2024-001
Ochoa
THIS MATTER having come on for hearing in front of the City of Pasco Hearing Examiner on
March 13, 2024, the Hearing Examiner having taken evidence hereby submits the following
Recommended Findings of Fact, Recommended Conclusions of Law, and Recommended Decision as
follows:
I.RECOMMENDED FINDINGS OF FACT
1.PROPERTY/APPLICATION DESCRIPTION:
1.1 Legal: SHORT PLAT 98-17 LOT 1
1.2 General Location: Located on northwest comer of Road 56 and Castle Holly Court in
Pasco, WA.
1.3 Property Size: Approximately 3.34 Acres.
1.4 Request: Rezone 916 Road 56 (Parcel #119-631-060) Rezone from RS-20
(Residential Suburban) to R-1 (Low-Density Residential).
1.5 Owner/Applicant: Juan Ochoa, 916 Road 56, Pasco, WA 99301.
2.ACCESS: The parcel has access on Road 56 and Castle Holly Court.
3.UTILITIES: Municipal water is available in Road 56 and Castle Holly Court, municipal
sewer is located approximately 750 feet to the south at the intersection of Road 56 and W
Sylvester Street.
4.LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned RS-20 (Residential Suburban) and is
developed with a single-family dwelling unit and various accessory structures. Surrounding
properties are zoned and developed as follows:
NORTH: RS-20 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL/SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS
EAST: RS-20 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL/SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS
SOUTH: RS-20 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL/SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS
WEST: RS-20 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL/SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS
5.COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan designates this site as
"Low Density Residential." The Low-Density Residential designation is described as a
variety of residential housing at a density of 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre, and may be
assigned RS-20, RS-12, RS-1, R-1, R-1-A, and R-1-A2 designations. Per Pasco Municipal
Code (PMC) 25.215.015, maximum gross density of any proposed development within any
zoning district, expressed as dwelling units per acre, shall be no less than the corresponding
minimum density expressed in the Comprehensive Plan land use density table, and no greater
Z 2024 001
Ochoa Rezone
Page 1 of 5
Exhibit A
Page 142 of 184
than the corresponding maximum density expressed in the Comprehensive Plan land use
density table, except as provided in Chapter 25.161 PMC. This rezone request supports
Housing Goal H-1 of the Comprehensive Plan, which encourages housing for all economic
segments of the city's population consistent with the local and regional market. The rezone
request is also in line with Housing Policy H-1-A which encourages the City to allow for a
full range of housing including single family homes, townhouses, condominiums, apartments,
and manufactured housing, accessory dwelling units, zero lot line, planned unit developments
etc.
6.ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for th is
project. Based on the State Environmental Policy Act ("SEPA") checklist, Comprehensive
Plan, applicable regulations, and other information, a threshold determination resulting in a
Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) for this project was issued on 22 January 2024,
under WAC 197-11-158.
7.REQUEST: Applicant Juan Ochoa wishes to rezone 916 Road 56 (Parcel 119-631-060) in
Pasco, WA 99301 from RS-20 (Residential Suburban) to R-1 (Low-Density Residential). The
sites comprise approximately 3.34 acres. The underlying Land Use Code is "Low Density
Residential," which specifies 3 to 6 dwelling units (DU) per acre. The proposed rezone does
not include a project action. It is anticipated that should the rezone be approved a subsequent
subdivision project may be submitted for review. This review would include requirements for
the impacts it has on the level of service for parks, transportation, etc. Any subsequent
subdivision proposals would additionally be required to adhere to Pasco Municipal Code,
including provisions such as connectivity and residential design standards.
8.IDSTORY: The site was annexed into the City in 2013 via Ordinance 4077 and subsequently
assigned the RS-20 (Residential Suburban) zoning designation via Ordinance 4078. The site
contains an existing dwelling and pole building that were constructed around 1976.
9.REZONE CRITERIA: The initial review criteria for considering a rezone application are
explained in PMC 25.210.030. The criteria are listed below as follows:
9.1 The date the existing zone became effective:
9.1.1 The site was assigned RS-20 zoning in 2013 via Ordinance 4078.
9.2 The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
9.2.1 In 2013 the site was annexed into the City and given the Low-Density
Residential designation, and has remained so since. Since 2013, the City of
Pasco's Comprehensive Plan has been updated to reflect a 3 to 6 dwelling
unit (DU) requirement for the Low Density Residential Land Use Code. It is
not possible to develop to the minimum density requirements without
rezoning to another district allowed in the under Low Density Residential
Land Use. A rezone from RS-20 (Residential Suburban) to R-1 (Low
Density Residential) will allow the property to be developed to density
requirements of Pasco's Comprehensive Plan.
9.3 Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and
general welfare:
9.3.1 The Low Density Residential designation allows for RS-20, RS-12, RS-1, R-
1, R-1-A, and R-1-A2 zoning; development with a higher density of dwelling
units per acre will help reduce urban sprawl and increase home ownership.
Z 2024 001
Ochoa Rezone
Page 2 of 5
Page 143 of 184
The rezone application and proposal are consistent with the Council
approved amendments to the Pasco Comprehensive Plan, which has been
determined to be in the best interest of advancing public health, safety and
general welfare of the community.
9.4 The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent property and the
Comprehensive Plan:
9.4.1 A change in zoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map designation for the site which is Low Density Residential.
The proposed land usage matches that of the adjacent properties and have a
positive impact on neighboring properties. The proposed rezone would allow
for development between 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre, a requirement
applicable to both the RS-20 and the R-1 zoning districts but is unobtainable
due to RS-20 minimum lot size requirements. Any subsequent development
actions, such as platting, will be subject to Washington's State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review. This review includes identifying
and mitigating any impacts to the natural and built environment.
9.5 The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
9 .5 .1 If this rezone request is not granted, the subject property may be developed
under the development standards for RS-20 zoning. RS-20 zoning does not
allow for development meeting the minimum density requirements in PMC
25.215.015 and the City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan would allow for
development between 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre.
9.6 The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the property:
9.6.1 The City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan designates this site as "Low Density
Residential." The Low Density Residential designation provides a variety of
residential housing at a density of 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre, and may be
assigned RS-20, RS-12, RS-1, R-1, R-1-A, and R-l-A2 zoning.
9.6.2 Per PMC 25.215.015 maximum gross density of any proposed development
within any zoning district, expressed as dwelling units per acre, shall be no

II.RECOMMENDED CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Before recommending approval of this rezone, the Hearing Examiner has developed findings of fact from which to draw those conclusions based upon the criteria listed in PMC 25.210.060. The criteria
are as follows:
1.The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the lot "Low Density
Residential." A change in zoning would be consistent with the comprehensive plan Land Use
Map designation for the site and could further the goals and policies of the Comprehensive
Plan such as:
1.1 H-1-A Allow for a full range of housing including single family homes, townhouses,
condominiums, apartments, and manufactured housing, accessory dwelling units,
zero lot line, planned unit developments etc.
1.2 LU-2-B Policy: Facilitate planned growth within the City limits and UGA and
promote infill developments in the City limits through periodic review of growthpatterns and market demand within each of the City's land use designations
1.3 LU-5-A Policy: Allow a variety of residential densities throughout the UGA
1.4 LU-2-F Policy: Discourage developments dependent on septic system, and at a
density below the minimum, to sustain an urban level of services.
2.The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental.
2.1 This application for rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Element and meets the intent of the Goals and Policies for the property. A rezone
from RS-20 to a different zoning district would allow the property to be further
developed as the current zoning does allow for development meeting minimum density requirements.
2.2 A development action affecting the site would be subject to the State Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA) and impacts to the natural and built environment, including
neighboring properties, would be considered and mitigated through the SEP A
process.
3.There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.3 .1 The proposed zoning designation is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land
Use Map and the Goals and Policies as adopted by the Pasco City Council. The
proposal includes infill development and promotes the goals of the Low Density
Residential Land Use Map Designation.
4.Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from the
proposal.
4.1 The rezone application and anticipated project are subject to the regulations and
requirements of the Pasco Municipal Code and the City of Pasco Design and
Z 2024 001
Ochoa Rezone

Page 145 of 184
Construction Standards. As such, no conditions should be imposed; any future
development will be evaluated for significant adverse impacts at the time of a
development application, which will also be subject to review under the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
5.A Concomitant Agreement should be entered into between the City and the petitioner, and if
so, the terms and conditions of such an agreement.
5.1 No Concomitant Agreement is considered necessary for this application.
6.Any Finding of Fact that is more correctly a Conclusion of Law is hereby incorporated as
such by this reference.

5. Comprehensive Plan: The City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan designates this site as “Low Density
Residential.” The Low-Density Residential designation is described as a variety of residential
housing at a density of 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre, and may be assigned RS-20, RS-12, RS-1, R-
1, R-1-A, and R-1-A2 designations. Per Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) 25.215.015, maximum gross
density of any proposed development within any zoning district, expressed as dwelling units per
acre, shall be no less than the corresponding minimum density expressed in the Comprehensive
Plan land use density table, and no greater than the corresponding maximum density expressed
in the Comprehensive Plan land use density table, except as provided in Chapter 25.161 PMC.
This rezone request supports Housing Goal H-1 of the Comprehensive Plan, which encourages
housing for all economic segments of the city’s population consistent with the local and regional
market. The rezone request is also in line with Housing Policy H-1-A which encourages the City to
allow for a full range of housing including single family homes, townhouses, condominiums,
apartments, and manufactured housing, accessory dwelling units, zero lot line, planned unit
developments etc.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for this project. Based
on the State Environmental Policy Act (“SEPA”) checklist, Comprehensive Plan, applicable
regulations, and other information, a threshold determination resulting in a Determination of
Non-Significance (DNS) for this project was issued on 22 January 2024, under WAC 197-11-158.
ANALYSIS
Request
Applicant Juan Ochoa wishes to rezone 916 Road 56 (Parcel 119-631-060) in Pasco, WA 99301 from RS-
20 (Residential Suburban) to R-1 (Low-Density Residential). The sites comprise approximately 3.34 acres.
The underlying Land Use Code is “Low Density Residential,” which specifies 3 to 6 dwelling units (DU)
per acre.
The proposed rezone does not include a project action. It is anticipated that should the rezone be
approved a subsequent subdivision project may be submitted for review. This review would include
requirements for the impacts it has on the level of service for parks, transportation, etc. Any subsequent
subdivision proposals would additionally be required to adhere to Pasco Municipal Code, including
provisions such as connectivity and residential design standards.
History
The site was annexed into the City in 2013 via Ordinance 4077 and subsequently assigned the RS-20
(Residential Suburban) zoning designation via Ordinance 4078. The site contains an existing dwelling and
pole building that were constructed around 1976.
Rezone Criteria
The initial review criteria for considering a rezone application are explained in PMC. 25.210.030. The
criteria are listed below as follows:
1. The date the existing zone became effective:
The site was assigned RS-20 zoning in 2013 via Ordinance 4078.
2. The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
In 2013 the site was annexed into the City and given the Low-Density Residential designation, and has
remained so since. Since 2013, the City of Pasco’s Comprehensive Plan has been updated to reflect a 3 to
6 dwelling unit (DU) requirement for the Low Density Residential Land Use Code. It is not possible to
Page 149 of 184
3
develop to the minimum density requirements without rezoning to another district allowed in the under
Low Density Residential Land Use. A rezone from RS-20 (Residential Suburban) to R-1 (Low-Density
Residential) will allow the property to be developed to density requirements of Pasco’s Comprehensive
Plan.
3. Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and general
welfare:
The Low Density Residential designation allows for RS-20, RS-12, RS-1, R-1, R-1-A, and R-1-A2 zoning;
development with a higher density of dwelling units per acre will help reduce urban sprawl and increase
home ownership.
The rezone application and proposal are consistent with the Council-approved amendments to the Pasco
Comprehensive Plan, which has been determined to be in the best interest of advancing public health,
safety and general welfare of the community.
4. The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent property and the
Comprehensive Plan:
A change in zoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation
for the site which is Low Density Residential. The proposed land usage matches that of the adjacent
properties and have a positive impact on neighboring properties.
The proposed rezone would allow for development between 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre, a requirement
applicable to both the RS-20 and the R-1 zoning districts but is unobtainable due to RS-20 minimum lot size
requirements. Any subsequent development actions, such as platting, will be subject to Washington’s State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review. This review includes identifying and mitigating any impacts to the
natural and built environment.
5. The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
If this rezone request is not granted, the subject property may be developed under the development
standards for RS-20 zoning. RS-20 zoning does not allow for development meeting the minimum density
requirements in PMC 25.215.015 and the City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan would allow for development
between 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre
6. The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the property:
The City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan designates this site as “Low Density Residential.” The Low Density
Residential designation provides a variety of residential housing at a density of 3 to 6 dwelling units per
acre, and may be assigned RS-20, RS-12, RS-1, R-1, R-1-A, and R-1-A2 zoning.
Per PMC 25.215.015 maximum gross density of any proposed development within any zoning district,
expressed as dwelling units per acre, shall be no less than the corresponding minimum density expressed
in the Comprehensive Plan land use density table, and no greater than the corresponding maximum density
expressed in the Comprehensive Plan land use density table, except as provided in Chapter 25.161 PMC.
7. Such other information as the Hearing Examiner requires:
The rezone application is consistent with and meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, and City Council
Goals.

STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Findings of fact must be entered from the record. The following are initial findings drawn from the
background and analysis section of the staff report. The Hearing Examiner may add additional findings to
this listing as the result of factual testimony and evidence submitted during the open record hearing.
1. Public notice of this hearing was sent to property owners within 300 feet of the property and
posted in the Tri-City Herald on February 28th, 2024.
2. Applicant wishes to rezone Parcel 119631060 from RS-20 (Residential Suburban) to R-1 (Low-
Density Residential).
3. The sites comprise approximately 3.34 acres.
4. The underlying Land Use code specifies 3 to 6 dwelling units (DU) per acre.
5. The site was assigned RS-20 zoning in 2013 via Ordinance 4078.
6. Subsequent developments will be required to submit State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
Checklists that consider the elements of the environment, under WAC 197-11-444, which include
a great number of items but can briefly be described as the natural and built environment. Any
proposals that would cause a significant impact to the environment would be mitigated through
the SEPA process.
7. The City’s 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the site as “Low Density
Residential”.
8. The “Low Density Residential” designation may be developed with a variety of residential housing
including single family dwellings, zero lot line dwellings, multiple dwellings, duplexes, triplexes,
and courtyard apartments.
9. Parcel 119631060 contains a single-family dwelling and pole building built around 1976.
TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a rezone, the Hearing Examiner must develop findings of fact
from which to draw its conclusions based upon the criteria listed in PMC 25.210.060. The criteria are as
follows:
1. The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the lot “Low Density Residential.” A change
in zoning would be consistent with the comprehensive plan Land Use Map designation for the site and
could further the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan such as:
• H-1-A Allow for a full range of housing including single family homes, townhouses, condominiums,
apartments, and manufactured housing, accessory dwelling units, zero lot line, planned unit
developments etc.
• LU-2-B Policy: Facilitate planned growth within the City limits and UGA and promote infill
developments in the City limits through periodic review of growth patterns and market demand
within each of the City’s land use designations.
• LU-5-A Policy: Allow a variety of residential densities throughout the UGA.
• LU-2-F Policy: Discourage developments dependent on septic system, and at a density below the
minimum, to sustain an urban level of services.
2. The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental.
This application for rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and meets the
intent of the Goals and Policies for the property. A rezone from RS-20 to a different zoning district would
Page 151 of 184
5
allow the property to be further developed as the current zoning does allow for development meeting
minimum density requirements.
A development action affecting the site would be subject to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
and impacts to the natural and built environment, including neighboring properties, would be considered
and mitigated through the SEPA process.
3. There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.
The proposed zoning designation is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and the Goals
and Policies as adopted by the Pasco City Council. The proposal includes infill development and promotes
the goals of the Low Density Residential Land Use Map Designation.
4. Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from the
proposal.
The rezone application and anticipated project are subject to the regulations and requirements of the
Pasco Municipal Code and the City of Pasco Design and Construction Standards. As such, no conditions
should be imposed; any future development will be evaluated for significant adverse impacts at the time
of a development application, which will also be subject to review under the State Environmental Policy
Act (SEPA).
5. A Concomitant Agreement should be entered into between the City and the petitioner, and if
so, the terms and conditions of such an agreement.
No Concomitant Agreement is considered necessary for this application.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends based on the Findings of Fact and Conclusions herein, that 916 Road 56 (Parcel
119631060 be rezoned from RS-20 (Residential Suburban) to R-1 (Low-Density Residential).
