City of Pasco Planning Commission meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m., by Chair Jerry Cochran. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Chair Cochran led the Pledge of Allegiance.

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Chair Cochran explained the Planning Commission is an advisory board made up of volunteers
appointed by City Council.
He further explained the purpose of the Planning Commission was to provide recommendations to
City Council regarding changes to the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Updates, Block Grant
Allocations and Zoning Code. The Planning Commission is tasked with considering the long-term
growth and development of the community, the impact of land use decisions on community,
livability, economic opportunity, housing affordability, public services, and the environment. Chair
Cochran reminded the audience tonight’s proceedings were being broadcast live on City of Pasco’s
Facebook page and on Charter Cable PSC Channel 191 and will be rebroadcast several times
during the next month.
He stated the meeting was also being recorded and could be watched on City of Pasco’s website,
which is Pasco-wa.gov. Click on the VIDEO ON DEMAND link and make your selection there.
Chair Cochran stated copies of the meeting agenda were available on the back table. He then asked
that everyone silence cell phones to prevent interruptions during the meeting. For those present this
evening, when you are given the opportunity to address the Commission, please come to the
podium, speak clearly into the microphone, and state your name and city of address for the record.
Chair Cochran reminded the audience and the Planning Commission that Washington State Law
requires public meetings like the one being held this evening not only be fair, but also appear to be
fair. In addition, Washington State Law prohibits Planning Commission members from
participating in discussions or decisions in which the member may have a direct interest or may be
either benefited or harmed by the Planning Commission’s decision. An objection to any Planning
Commission member hearing any matter on tonight’s agenda needs to be aired at this time or it will
be waived.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 5 July 18, 2024
Chair Cochran asked if there were any Planning Commission members who have a declaration at
this time regarding any of the items on the agenda.
Chair Cochran recused himself due to being on a board getting voted on.
Chair Cochran asked if anyone in the audience objected to any Planning Commission member
hearing any of the items on the agenda.
No declarations were heard.
Chair Cochran stated the Planning Commission needed and valued public input explaining it helped
the Commission understand the issues more clearly and allowed for better recommendations to City
Council. Furthermore, in many cases, this could be the only forum for the public to get facts and
opinions placed into the official record and City Council will use to make the Commission’s
decision. He encouraged those present to take full advantage of this opportunity.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Commissioner Hendler moved to approve the Planning Commission meeting minutes of June 20,
2024, Commissioner Lehrman seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Allocations
MF#BGAP2024-003
Kristin Webb stated the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides
annual grants to state cities and counties to develop viable urban communities by offering
decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities for low to
moderate-income persons.
Council Goals for 2022-2023:
• Quality of life
• Financial sustainability
• Community transportation network
• Community safety
• Economic viability
• Community identity
Tri-Cities Consortium Consolidated Plan Goals for 2020-2024:
1. Increase and preserve affordable housing
2. Community, neighborhood, and economic development
3. Homeless interventions and public services
CDBG requires each funded activity to meet a national objective. Activities not meeting these
objectives may face remedial actions, impacting the City of Pasco as the grantee.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 5 July 18, 2024
2023 Goal Allocations:
• Housing: 32%
• Public Service: 13%
• Economic Opportunities: 16%
• Section 108: 39%
2024 Goal Allocations:
• Housing: 35%
• Public Service: 9%
• Economic Opportunities: 13%
• Section 108: 43%
Total CDBG fund allocations for the Tri-Cities consolidated plan goals from 2020-2024 were
presented, showing the percentages and total funds allocated.
Staff identified criteria aligning with Council goals, Tri-Cities Consortium consolidated plan,
and CDBG HUD regulations to grade projects from A to C based on the number of goals met.
2025 CDBG Project Scoring:
• Scores from 1-4: Grade C
• Scores from 5-9: Grade B
• Scores above 10: Grade A
Two funding options were presented:
Option 1: Partial funding for all activities except one, suggesting HOME ARP funding as more
suitable.
Option 2: Removed activities with a Grade C, distributing funds among the remaining projects.
Available funds: $677,000 (after admin and Section 108, $292,540 available for funding).
Questions and further discussion followed regarding the Commissioners.
Public Hearing:
Rob Wilkinson with the YMCA expressed gratitude for the opportunity to apply annually and
appreciation for received amounts. He stated they requested $30,000 this year and received
$20,000 last year. He further told the Commission that the YMCA, located in the Martin Luther
King Center in East Pasco, serves local residents. That the additional funding helps keep soccer
program rates affordable and funding cuts may force a review of the budget, potentially
increasing program or membership fees. He asked for the Commissioners consideration of these
impacts in funding decisions.

I am Ruvine Jimenez, representing the League of Education Voters and serving as a mentor for the
ALAS program (Ambassadors of Lakeview Achieving Success). I appreciate the opportunity to
apply for the grant again.
We focus on assisting low-income students from the Lakeview Mobile Home Park, whom I've
worked with for over 10 years. These students, affected by COVID-19, missed two years of in-
school guidance. Our goal is to motivate them to explore career options, ignite their passions, and
inspire active community participation.
Our funding efforts include community support, such as participating in the Fourth of July parade,
which exposed students to local events. This experience highlighted the importance of engaging
Hispanic youth in city activities to foster acclimation and community involvement. Thank you for
the opportunity to support these students.
Chair Cochran closed the public hearing.
The Planning Commission would like there to be a third option, where no funds go to fund code
enforcement employees for the next meeting. They would also like to know what the minimum
needed would be for the applicants and what can be accomplished with lesser funds. Knowing the
number of people served would be beneficial as well.
Kristin Webb gave the Commission an update of the reallocation of funds from Lewis Street to
fund the Small Business Relief program to help businesses that were impacted by the Lewis Street
construction.

To: Planning Commission
From: Kristin Webb, Block Grant Administrator
Subject: 2025 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM ALLOCATION
(MF#BGAP2024-003)
Background
During the Planning Commission meeting held on July 18, 2024, the Commission instructed staff to
contact the applicants to determine whether their project could proceed if it were to receive less
funding than initially requested. The Commission also requested clarification on the minimum
amount of funding necessary for the project's viability. Additionally, a commissioner requested
information regarding the number of individuals served, the unit of measure, and the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) cost per unit.
On Tuesday, July 23, 2024, staff emailed all applicants to address the Planning Commission's
inquiries. As of August 7, 2024, we have received five responses, which are included in your packet.
Regarding the commissioner's request for information on the number served, the unit of measure, and
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) cost per unit, this information is included in the
applicants' submissions and summarized in the table below.

Discussion
The Planning Commission has communicated to staff their preference to discontinue funding city salaries,
with that being said the role of the rental inspector within the code division is a critical component of
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. This position ensures that rental
properties comply with health and safety standards, thereby enhancing the quality of housing and
promoting community well-being, which aligns with the goals of the CDBG program. After
reviewing the emails received from the applicants, staff developed a third recommendation for the
Planning Commission. This recommendation focuses on funding only the A and B categories,
which are further detailed in Option 3, which also aligns with the goals of the CDBG program.
Recommendation
After discussions, it is recommended that the activities outlined in Options 1, 2, or 3 best align with
the Council Goals, the Tri-Cities Consortium Consolidated Plan, and the CDBG Regulations and
National Objectives. These options would be most effective in achieving the city's objectives for
2025. Your review and recommendations to the City Council would be greatly appreciated.
Motion
I move the Planning Commission forward recommendations in Option 1, 2, or 3 (or amended) to
City Council Workshop for Consideration.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
City Hall – 525 North Third Avenue
THURSDAY, JULY 18, 2024
6:30 PM
1
To: Planning Commission
From: Kristin Webb, Block Grant Administrator
Subject: 2025 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM ALLOCATION
(MF#BGAP2024-003)
Requests for Funding
Attached for your review and consideration are the CDBG Fund and Proposal Summaries relating to our
Community Development Block Grant Program for program year 2025. Fifteen (15) requests for funds were
submitted totaling $1,666,712. The Applicants presented their proposals at the Planning Commission on June
20, 2024.
Background
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program provides annual grants on a formula basis to
state, cities, and counties to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and suitable
living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities principally for low-to-moderate income
persons.
Criteria
Staff identified a criterion to align with current Council goals, the Tri-Cities Consortium Consolidated plan,
and whether the applicants’ projects meet the intent of the CDBG/HUD mission. The applicants were given a
grade(A-C) based on how many goals their project met the criteria.
Council goals: Quality of life, Financial Sustainability, Community Transportation Network, Community
Safety, Economic Vitality, and Community Identity
Tri-Cities Consortium Consolidated plan: Increase and Preserve Affordable Housing, Community,
Neighborhood and Economic Development, Homeless Interventions and Public Services
CDBG/HUD Mission: Develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and suitable living
environment, and by expanding economic opportunities principally for low-to-moderate income persons.
Estimated Funds Available
It is estimated that the 2025 annual entitlement grant will be $677,540 based on the award for program year
2024. There is always some question regarding actual funding levels approved by Congress. Actual available
funding for these FY 2025 activities will remain in question until the early part of the year when the CDBG
allocation is made by Congressional Resolution. If funding levels are lower than estimated or eliminated the
city will need to consider several options, including a voluntary or proportionate reduction of allocation,
possible inclusions in the 2025 city general fund budget requests. If funding levels are higher than estimated,
activity funding will be reallocated in accordance with the contingency plan according to the greatest need.
Public Service Cap
HUD regulations state that the amount of CDBG Funds obligated within a program year to support public
service activities may not exceed 15% of the combined total of the entitlement plus the prior year’s program
income. Based on the estimated entitlement of $677,540 the maximum available for public service activities
2
in 2025 is $101,631. Current requests for public services total $212,712.00.
Planning & Administration Cap
HUD regulations state that the amount of CDBG Funds obligated within a program year to support planning
and administration activities may not exceed 20% of the combined total of the entitlement plus the current
year’s program income. For 2025, the estimated entitlement of $677,540 makes the maximum available for
planning and administration $135,508. Current requests for planning and administration total $135,000.
Staff recommends a maximum of $135,000 for planning and administration (20%) due to the additional
burden for HOME grant administration and project delivery.
Recommendation
After discussions and staff committee evaluation, it is recommended that the activities set forth in option 1 or
option 2 would best meet City Council Goals and the Tri-Cities Consortium Consolidated Plan and be most
effective in carrying out the objectives for the city in 2025. Your review and consideration for
recommendations to the City Council would be appreciated.
Motion
I move the Planning Commission close the public hearing on the use of funds for the 2025 Community
Development Block Grant Program. I further move that the Planning Commission forward recommendations
as presented (or amended) to City Council Workshop for Consideration.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
City Hall – 525 North Third Avenue
THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 2024

To: Planning Commission
From: Kristin Webb, Block Grant Administrator
Subject: 2025 HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS (HOME) PROGRAM ALLOCATION AND
ANNUAL WORK PLAN (MF#BGAP2024-004)
Background
Pasco entered into a HOME Consortium Agreement with Richland and Kennewick in 1996 making
the City eligible for Federal HOME funds. The Agreement will expire in December 2024, which at
that time changes can be made. Each year an annual action plan is required to be prepared and
submitted to HUD for use of estimated funds for the following program year.
Estimated Funds Available
It is estimated that the 2025 annual entitlement grant to the HOME Consortium will be $652,569.
Each member city is allocated an equal share of the entitlement after 10% Set-Aside for
Administration, and 15% Set-Aside for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO).
Pasco’s share of the entitlement is estimated to be $116,160 when the remaining funds are split
equally between the three cities. HOME Program income estimated in 2025 is $100,000 and may be
used for Down Payment Assistance, Tenant Based Rental Assistance, Owner Occupied Rehab, or an
Eligible CHDO Project depending on need. These estimates are based on the 2024 HOME Allocation.
There is always some question regarding actual funding levels approved by Congress. Actual
available funding for these FY 2025 activities will remain in question until the early part of the year
when the HOME allocation is made by Congressional Resolution and an amendment to the Annual
Action Plan may be necessary. If funding levels are lower than estimated, activity funding may need
to be reallocated accordingly.
Planning & Administration
HUD regulations state that the amount of HOME Funds obligated within a program year to support
planning and administration activities may not exceed 10% of the entitlement. This is awarded to
Richland annually as the Lead Agency of the HOME Consortium to manage all activities. Member
cities are provided funds for planning and administration from 10% of program income received from
completed projects within their jurisdiction.
CHDO Set-Aside
Each year a minimum of 15% of the entitlement grant must be set-aside to help Community Housing
Development Organizations (CHDO) to add to the permanent affordable housing stock. The CHDO
set-aside funds may be combined with program income for a development project that will be selected
through a competitive RFP process.
Proposed Activities
HOME funds are based on need and income eligibility and may be used anywhere within the city
limits, however, neighborhoods designated as priority by Pasco City Council received first
consideration. Funding is first targeted in the Longfellow and Museum neighborhoods, then within
low-moderate income census tracts (201, 202, 203 and 204). If HOME funds cannot be applied to
those areas, then they are used as needed within the Pasco City limits for the benefit of eligible low-
2
moderate income families. Funds may be reallocated between programs to meet community needs.
2025 Funding Source Budget
Entitlement & Estimated Program Income $216,160
2025 Proposed Activities
Program Administration $10,000
Down Payment Assistance Program $10,000
Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program $98,080
Rehabilitation/Acquisition $98,080
$216,160
Recommendations
After discussions and staff evaluation, it is recommended that anticipated 2025 HOME entitlement
funds be allocated to the First Time Homebuyer Down Payment Assistance Program, Tenant Based
Rental Assistance Program and Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation. The activities set forth above would
best meet the City’s Consolidated Plan and be most effective in carrying out the objectives for the
City in 2025. If conditions of the housing market make it difficult to use funds as planned, Pasco
may consider joining forces with Kennewick and Richland to allocate unused funds for CHDO
acquisition and/or infrastructure for low-income rental housing projects as permitted in the interlocal
agreement. Your review and recommendation to the City Council would be appreciated.
Motion
I move the Planning Commission forward the recommendations as presented (or amended) to the
City Council Workshop for Consideration.
REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
City Hall – 525 North Third Avenue – Remote
THURSDAY, August 15, 2024
6:30 PM

To: Planning Commission
Subject: CA2024-001: Overnight Truck Parking and Habitation Code Amendment
Background
The City of Pasco received a request from B4 Development (Applicant) to initiate a text amendment
to Title 25 of the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC), aiming to accommodate overnight truck habitation.
This proposed use is distinct from other uses in the PMC, such as off-street parking lots and truck
stops. This request entails establishing designated areas for drivers to sleep or reside in their trucks
overnight as a site’s primary use, a matter not currently addressed by the existing code.
As of now, overnight truck habitation is not explicitly defined within PMC Title 25. However,
according to PMC 25.120.020 and PMC 25.125.020, "All uses not otherwise prohibited by law" are
permitted within the I-2 and I-3 zoning districts, respectively. Hence, overnight truck habitation is
permitted in these districts as a recognized use.
The purpose of the code amendment is to delineate overnight truck habitation as a designated use
within the Pasco Municipal Code. This involves specifying the zoning districts where this use would
be permitted either as a matter of right or through a special permit process, and to formulate
suitable development standards that objectively regulate aspects such as site design, layout, and
environmental considerations.
Planning Commission Summary (January – July 2024)
January
At the January 18, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, the Applicant spoke to the needs and
benefits of overnight truck parking facilities to the region, and Staff asked the Planning Commission
to ask if there was interest enough to develop an ordinance to address overnight truck parking and
habitation.
The Commissioners requested additional information about the need for truck parking so a follow
up presentation was prepared by Staff for the February 15, 2024 Planning Commission meeting.
During the February 2024 Planning Commission meeting discussions focused on potential
development regulations for overnight truck habitation facilities. Key topics included site design and
layout considerations to mitigate visual and noise impacts, infrastructure and utilities provisions,
safety and security measures, environmental considerations, accessibility and amenities provisions,
community compatibility, traffic management, and emergency preparedness.
The Planning Commission discussed the importance of addressing these aspects to ensure the
compatibility of overnight truck habitation facilities with surrounding communities and to minimize
negative impacts on traffic, environment, and community aesthetics. A broader question raised
during the Planning Commission deliberations was the overall impact of such use, and value of a by-
right approval process for the proposed use on industrially zoned property, and a requirement of
special permit approval in commercially zoned property. Additionally, the Planning Commission
2
expressed interest in community engagement and input, particularly from potentially affected
neighborhoods and residents.
At the April 18, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, Commissioners requested from staff
information regarding buffer distances from residential uses, a comparison of potential provisions
of the use to the Residential [Recreational Vehicle] Parks (PMC Title 19) requirements, traffic
considerations, minimum site size requirements, and information related to existing properties that
have some overnight truck habitation areas and lots designated for truck storage. A concern was
expressed at the meeting for the potential impacts that overnight truck habitation may have within
commercially zoned districts as they are more likely to be in areas adjacent to residential uses than
industrial zoning districts.
At the May 16, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, the Commissioners emphasized the need for
security, lighting, fencing, and felt that Overnight Truck Habitation was only appropriate in industrial
zoning districts and not appropriate as a primary use in commercial zoning districts. The Applicant
wished to have Overnight Truck Habitation as conditional use in the C-3 zoning district that would
be approved via Special Permit with no additional municipal code requirements.
During the July 18, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, the draft ordinance was reviewed by the
Commission who refined the draft language.

Next Steps
The Applicant had targeted a specific property to develop into Overnight Truck Parking and
Habitation when initiating the request for this text amendment. That property is currently zoned
C-3, and more importantly within 1,000 feet of existing residential uses and residentially zoned
land. Though, as proposed by the Planning Commission, this draft ordinance would exclude the
Applicant’s target site and the Applicant is no longer pursing its development in relation to this
ordinance, staff requests that codifying Overnight Truck Parking and Habitation continue given the
increased need for this land use as identified by the Washington State Department of
Transportation.
Staff requests the Planning Commission hold a second public hearing on the Overnight Truck
Parking and Habitation draft ordinance to provide the public an opportunity to comment, as the
first public hearing did not include a written ordinance.
