ANALYSIS
Request
Applicant proposes to subdivide a 129.09-acre parcel into 461 individual lots for single family
dwellings and a park within the R-1 Low Density Residential zoning district.
4
History
The site was annexed into the City in 2022 via Ordinance 4574 and subsequently assigned the R-1
(Low Density Residential) zoning designation via Ordinance 4584. The site undeveloped and has
historically been used as farmland.
Lot & Right-of-Way Layout
The proposed plat would create 461 lots, with approximately 2.07 acres set aside for construction
of a privately-owned neighborhood park that would be developed with basketball and pickleball
courts, a sun shelter and picnic table area, and play equipment, all of which would be open to the
public. A network of streets would be dedicated and improved to City code and standards to provide
adequate access to all lots and to ensure access for future development. The plat also includes multi-
use paths (MUPs) for pedestrians and cyclists adjacent to Burns Road, Road 52, and Deseret Drive,
and right-of-way dedications and street improvements to each of those named roads.
The proposed lots vary in size from 5,000 sq. ft. to 37,637 sq. ft. It should be noted that a portion of
the plat falls within the “Zone 4 – Outer Approach/Departure Zone” designation which requires
residential density at a minimum of the RS-20 zoning. The lots within this airport zone designation
have been designed to have a minimum of 20,000 sq. ft. of lot size attributing to the variety of lot
sizing within the proposed plat. The site has a City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Designation of Low Density Residential, requiring a density between 3 and 5 dwelling units per acre
(du/ac). The plat provides a density of approximately 3.6 du/ac meeting the requirements of PMC
and the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
1) Notice of the public hearing was sent to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property
on July 2, 2024, and published in the Tri-City Herald newspaper on July 7, 2024, and posted on
site on July 3, 2024.
2) An application for the proposed plat was submitted on April 7, 2023 and determined to be
complete on April 17, 2023.
3) A Notice of Application with SEPA Optional Determination of Non-significance was issued on
April 14, 2024.
4) The proposed site is Parcel # 114-250-018 in Pasco, WA.
5) The site’s Comprehensive Plan designation is Low Density Residential which allows for
residential development at a density between 3 and 6 dwelling units per acre.
6) The proposed number of lots equates to approximately 3.6 dwelling units per acre.
7) The site has historically been used as farmlands and is otherwise undeveloped.
8) The project will involve the construction of a network of roads within and adjacent to the
proposed plat, to provide access to the new lots and appropriate circulation within the plat and
distribution of trips to the City’s roadway network.
9) Water and sewer services will be extended to and through the development to provide
municipal services to the new lots.
5
10) Per PMC 21.05.120, water rights shall be either deeded to the City or an in-lieu-of fee paid prior
to recording of any final plat. The in-lieu fee rates set by PMC 3.35.160 in effect at time of
preliminary plat application were as follows:
a. Base water right acquisition fee per residential unit: $517.50.
b. Portable water irrigation fee: 50 percent of the acreage of the parcel to be served times
3.5 acre-feet of water times $1,725 per acre foot
c. Water rights transfer fee: $1,000.
11) Per the City of Pasco Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan the goal for Level of Service
(LOS) of 2 acres of neighborhood park land and 2.1 acres if community park land per 1,000
population. Based on the anticipated population that would be generated by the development
(1,632 people, assuming an average household size of 3.54 persons per household) a total of
3.26 acres of parkland are needed to meet the neighborhood park LOS goal.
12) The proposed plat provides a 2.07 acre, privately-owned but developed and open to the public
park and a total 1.35 acres of Mixed Use Paths (MUPs), with an additional 0.54 acres of active
recreation park land to be provided by the sports field being developed as part of the new Pasco
High School located to the West of the proposed plat.
13) A traffic impact analysis (TIA) dated April, 2024 was prepared by the Applicant’s consultant,
Transpo Group, to determine the proposal’s impacts to the transportation network. The TIA
indicated that 177 AM peak hour trips and 246 PM peak hour trips from the proposed plat will
utilize Road 52 north of the intersection of Road 52 and Burns Road, which is the section of
Road 52 fronting the proposed Madison Park North development. This project trips represent
69% (177 out of 257) AM peak hour trips and 73% (246 out of 336) PM peak hour trips on Road
52 north of Burns/Rd 52 intersection. The TIA also indicates that the proposed plat will
generate 30 AM peak hour trips and 42 PM peak hour trips using the portion of Burns Road
east of the Burns/Road 52 intersection. These trips represent 30% (30 out of 100) AM peak
hour trips east of Burns/Rd. 52 intersection, and 39% (42 out of 107) PM peak hour trips
anticipated to use that portion of Burns Road, which is the section fronting the south edge of
the proposed subdivision.
14) To ensure that the proposed plat makes appropriate provision for contribution of a
proportionate share to the capital costs of capital improvements necessary to provide
transportation, school, parks, recreational open space and related amenities for residents of the
City of Pasco, Traffic, Park, and School impact fees at the then-applicable impact fee rate will be
collected for each lot at the time of building permit issuance for any new residence, with traffic
impact fees of $328,976 to be payable prior to the issuance of the first building permit. Credits
and reductions to the Park impact fees will be provided, commensurate with the value of the
park land and cost of park improvements installed, at the appropriate time as determined by
the Director in accordance with RCW 82.02.060(5), PMC 3.40.090 and PMC 3.50.070 and the
Conditions of Approval of this Preliminary Plat.
15) To ensure the proposed plat makes appropriate provision for contribution towards the cost of
continued maintenance of the landscaped areas to be dedicated as public rights-of-way of major
streets adjacent to the proposed plat, the Applicant shall provide a common area maintenance
fee in the amount determined by the Director based on areal extent and maintenance cost of
6
proposed major rights-of-way. The fee shall be paid at the time of substantial completion of
construction of the major street rights-of-way and landscaped areas.
16) In order to make appropriate provision for financing potential future City transportation and
utility improvements that will serve and provide a special benefit to residents of the proposed
plat, the face of the plat should include the following statement: “As a condition of approval of
this plat, pursuant to RCW 35.43.182 the owner hereby waives for a period of ten (10) years
from the date of approval of this plat the right to protest the formation of a Local Improvement
District (LID) or Utility Local Improvement District (ULID) for the financing and construction of
transportation and/or utility improvements that specially benefit property owner(s) within this
plat and are identified in the Capital Facilities Element of the City of Pasco’s Comprehensive Plan,
or documents adopted and incorporated by reference therein. This waiver shall be liberally
construed in accordance with and to accomplish the purposes of RCW 35.43.182.”
TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON FINDINGS OF FACT
As per PMC 21.25.060, Upon conclusion of the open record hearing, the Hearing Examiner shall
make and enter findings from the record and conclusions thereof as to whether or not:
(1) Adequate provisions are made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for open
spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks,
playgrounds, transit stops, schools and school grounds, sidewalks for safe walking conditions for
students, and other public needs;
The proposed subdivision will be serviced by City emergency services and proposes to develop a
privately-owned park, open to the public, approximately 2 acres in size. The proposal is also
dedicating and constructing adequate right-of-way along Deseret Drive, Road 52 and Burns Road,
and will construct the right-of-way in accordance with the requirements of PMC and the Pasco
Design and Construction Standards. These improvements are necessary to address the
transportation impacts detailed in the Applicant’s TIA, and also include the construction of new
sidewalks adjacent to the right-of-way for safe pedestrian travel as well as multi-use paths (MUPs)
along the north side of the Burns Road right-of-way, the south side of the Deseret Drive right-of-way,
and along Road 52. Utilities such as municipal water and sewer are required to be extended to and
through the right-of-way to provide access to all lots within the proposed subdivision.
Traffic, park, and school impact fees will be collected with each building permit issued for a new
dwelling to account for impacts to the transportation system, school system, and park land
improvements and maintenance. Credits and reductions to the traffic and park impact fees will be
provided in accordance with PMC 3.40.090 and PMC 3.50.070. The plat owner will waive protest to
the formation of a Local Improvement District and/or Utility Local Improvement District to the fullest
extent allowed by RCW 35.43.182.
(2) The proposed subdivision contributes to the orderly development and land use patterns in
the area;
The proposed development may contain various types of residential single family dwellings and will
match the single family dwelling pattern within the vicinity. While the range of lot sizes vary greatly
due to the proximity to Airport Zone 4 designated lands each lot will be developed to comply with
the zoning code of Low Density Residential and will be in conformance with the underlying land use
designation of Low Density Residential which applies for all of the lands in the general vicinity.
7
The development will also be required to construct row-of-improvements such as curb, gutter,
sidewalk, street lighting, etc. for safe pedestrian travel and for the welfare of the residents. This will
differ from many of the surrounding properties as such right-of-way improvements are not present.
MUPs will also be provided on Burns Road, Road 52, and Deseret Lane which will connect to the
MUPs of nearby and adjacent developments.
(3) The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and narrative text of the
Comprehensive Plan;
Pasco’s Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the land as “Low Density Residential”
which allows for the RS-20, RS-12, RS-1, R-1, R-1-A, and R-1-A2 zoning designations and allows for a
variety of residential housing at a density of 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre. The sites zoning
designation and proposed density of 6 dwelling units per acre conforms with the Comprehensive
Plan. Further, the proposal aligns with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan such as:
• Housing Policy H-3-A: Encourage innovative techniques in the design of residential
neighborhoods and mixed-use areas to provide character and variety in the community.
The proposed plat includes a variety of lot sizes ranging from lot sizes typical in the R-1 zoning
designation and the RS-20 zoning designation. Further the plat will provide a private park
and MUPs for recreation and walkability.
• Land Use Policy LU-2-E: Discourage the siting of incompatible uses adjacent to Pasco (Tri-
Cities) Airport and other essential public facilities. The proposal adheres to the requirements
of the Airport Overlay District by providing the necessary lot sizes within each compatibility
zone. The development has accounted for the siting to ensure it is compatible with the
adjacent airport and is in conformance with the Airport Overlay District.
• Land Use Policy LU-4-E: Encourage the orderly development of land by emphasizing
connectivity and efficiency of the transportation network. The proposal provides a network
of roads in conformance with Pasco’s code and requirements and sufficient to address the
number and distribution of vehicle trips generated by the proposed plat, as shown in the
Applicant’s Traffic Impact Analysis. The proposal also provides MUPs that will serve to
connect the development to adjacent developments and major roadways.
• Capital Facilities Policy CF-3-A: Assure land development proposals provide land and/or
facilities or other mitigation measures to address impacts on traffic, parks, recreational
facilities, schools, and pedestrian and bicycle trails. The proposal will provide impact fees
during the permitting process to address the impacts on traffic, parks, and schools. Further,
a concurrency evaluation and traffic impact analysis were completed as a portion of the
review and the development will construct improvements proportionately addressing the
plat’s impacts to the transportation network. The development will also construct MUPs that
may be used for pedestrian and bicycle travel to and around the area.
• Transportation Policy TR-1-F: Develop an interconnected network of streets, trails, and
other public ways during the development process while preserving neighborhood identity.
The proposal will develop a network of roads and MUPs that responsibly connect it to major
travel corridors and adjacent developments.
(4) The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of any applicable policies or plans
which have been adopted by the City Council;
8
The City Council has adopted the Pasco Comprehensive Plan which contains various goals and
policies of which the proposal conforms to, see example policies under (3) of this section. Further,
the proposal conforms with some Council’s 2022-2023 goals such as:
• Economic Vitality: Implementation of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan through related
actions including zoning code changes, phased sign code update, and development
regulations and standards. In November of 2023 the City Council passed Ordinance 4700
relating to residential design standards. These standards provide various housing types, lot
sizes, frontage widths etc. which the proposed plat will conform to and use.
(5) The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of this title;
Title 21 “Pasco Urban Area Subdivision Regulations” contains requirements and procedures for
various subdivision types. Requirements include those for streets, lots and blocks, and application
materials for each type of subdivision action. The proposed subdivision meets the requirements of
Title 21 in all respects.
(6) The public use and interest will be served by approval of the proposed subdivision.
The proposed plat, if approved and if conditioned as recommended below, will be developed in
accordance with all City codes and standards designed to ensure the health, safety and general
welfare of the community are met. The Comprehensive Plan will be implemented through
development of this plat. These factors will ensure the public use and interest are served.
APPROVAL CONDITIONS

History
The site was annexed into the City in 2022 via Ordinance 4574 and subsequently assigned the R-1
(Low Density Residential) zoning designation via Ordinance 4584. The site undeveloped and has
historically been used as farmland.
Lot & Right-of-Way Layout
The proposed plat would create 461 lots, with approximately 2.07 acres set aside for construction
of a privately-owned neighborhood park that would be developed with basketball and pickleball
courts, a sun shelter and picnic table area, and play equipment, all of which would be open to the
public. A network of streets would be dedicated and improved to City code and standards to provide
adequate access to all lots and to ensure access for future development. The plat also includes multi-
use paths (MUPs) for pedestrians and cyclists adjacent to Burns Road, Road 52, and Deseret Drive,
and right-of-way dedications and street improvements to each of those named roads.
The proposed lots vary in size from 5,000 sq. ft. to 37,637 sq. ft. It should be noted that a portion of
the plat falls within the “Zone 4 – Outer Approach/Departure Zone” designation which requires
residential density at a minimum of the RS-20 zoning. The lots within this airport zone designation
have been designed to have a minimum of 20,000 sq. ft. of lot size attributing to the variety of lot
sizing within the proposed plat. The site has a City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Designation of Low Density Residential, requiring a density between 3 and 5 dwelling units per acre
(du/ac). The plat provides a density of approximately 3.6 du/ac meeting the requirements of PMC
and the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
1) Notice of the public hearing was sent to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property
on July 2, 2024, and published in the Tri-City Herald newspaper on July 7, 2024, and posted on
site on July 3, 2024.
2) An application for the proposed plat was submitted on April 7, 2023 and determined to be
complete on April 17, 2023.
3) A Notice of Application with SEPA Optional Determination of Non-significance was issued on
April 14, 2024.
4) The proposed site is Parcel # 114-250-018 in Pasco, WA.
5) The site’s Comprehensive Plan designation is Low Density Residential which allows for
residential development at a density between 3 and 6 dwelling units per acre.
6) The proposed number of lots equates to approximately 3.6 dwelling units per acre.

10) Water rights shall be either deeded to the City or an in-lieu of fee paid prior to recording of any
final plat.
11) Per the City of Pasco Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan the goal for Level of Service
(LOS) of 2 acres of neighborhood park land and 2.1 acres if community park land per 1,000
population. Based on the anticipated population that would be generated by the development
(1,632 people, assuming an average household size of 3.54 persons per household) a total of
3.26 acres of parkland are needed to meet the neighborhood park LOS goal.
12) The proposed plat provides a 2.07 acre, privately-owned but developed and open to the public
park and a total 1.35 acres of Mixed Use Paths (MUPs), with an additional 0.54 acres of active
recreation park land to be provided by the sports field being developed as part of the new Pasco
High School located to the West of the proposed plat.
13) A traffic impact analysis (TIA) dated April, 2024 was prepared by the Applicant’s consultant,
Transpo Group, to determine the proposal’s impacts to the transportation network. The TIA
indicated that 177 AM peak hour trips and 246 PM peak hour trips from the proposed plat will
utilize Road 52 north of the intersection of Road 52 and Burns Road, which is the section of
Road 52 fronting the proposed Madison Park North development. This project trips represent
69% (177 out of 257) AM peak hour trips and 73% (246 out of 336) PM peak hour trips on Road
52 north of Burns/Rd 52 intersection. The TIA also indicates that the proposed plat will
generate 30 AM peak hour trips and 42 PM peak hour trips using the portion of Burns Road
east of the Burns/Road 52 intersection. These trips represent 30% (30 out of 100) AM peak
hour trips east of Burns/Rd. 52 intersection, and 39% (42 out of 107) PM peak hour trips
anticipated to use that portion of Burns Road, which is the section fronting the south edge of
the proposed subdivision.

proportionate share to the capital costs of capital improvements necessary to provide
transportation, school, parks, recreational open space and related amenities for residents of the
City of Pasco, Traffic, Park, and School impact fees at the then-applicable impact fee rate will be
collected for each lot at the time of building permit issuance for any new residence. Credits and
reductions to the Traffic and Park impact fees will be provided at the appropriate time as
determined by the Director in accordance with RCW 82.02.060(5), PMC 3.40.090 and PMC
3.50.070.
15) To ensure the proposed plat makes appropriate provision for contribution towards the cost of
continued maintenance of the landscaped areas to be dedicated as public rights-of-way of major
streets adjacent to the proposed plat, the Applicant shall provide a common area maintenance

or documents adopted and incorporated by reference therein. This waiver shall be liberally
construed in accordance with and to accomplish the purposes of RCW 35.43.182.”
TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON FINDINGS OF FACT
As per PMC 21.25.060, Upon conclusion of the open record hearing, the Hearing Examiner shall
make and enter findings from the record and conclusions thereof as to whether or not:
(1) Adequate provisions are made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for open
spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks,
playgrounds, transit stops, schools and school grounds, sidewalks for safe walking conditions for
students, and other public needs;
The proposed subdivision will be serviced by City emergency services and proposes to develop a
privately-owned park, open to the public, approximately 2 acres in size. The proposal is also
dedicating and constructing adequate right-of-way along Deseret Drive, Road 52 and Burns Road,
and will construct the right-of-way in accordance with the requirements of PMC and the Pasco
Design and Construction Standards. These improvements are necessary to address the
transportation impacts detailed in the Applicant’s TIA, and also include the construction of new
sidewalks adjacent to the right-of-way for safe pedestrian travel as well as multi-use paths (MUPs)
along the north side of the Burns Road right-of-way, the south side of the Deseret Drive right-of-way,
and along Road 52. Utilities such as municipal water and sewer are required to be extended to and
through the right-of-way to provide access to all lots within the proposed subdivision.
Traffic, park, and school impact fees will be collected with each building permit issued for a new
dwelling to account for impacts to the transportation system, school system, and park land
improvements and maintenance. Credits and reductions to the traffic and park impact fees will be
provided in accordance with PMC 3.40.090 and PMC 3.50.070. The plat owner will waive protest to
the formation of a Local Improvement District and/or Utility Local Improvement District to the fullest
extent allowed by RCW 35.43.182.
(2) The proposed subdivision contributes to the orderly development and land use patterns in
the area;
The proposed development may contain various types of residential single family dwellings and will
match the single family dwelling pattern within the vicinity. While the range of lot sizes vary greatly
due to the proximity to Airport Zone 4 designated lands each lot will be developed to comply with
the zoning code of Low Density Residential and will be in conformance with the underlying land use
designation of Low Density Residential which applies for all of the lands in the general vicinity.
The development will also be required to construct row-of-improvements such as curb, gutter,
sidewalk, street lighting, etc. for safe pedestrian travel and for the welfare of the residents. This will
differ from many of the surrounding properties as such row-of-way improvements are not present.
MUPs will also be provided on Burns Road, Road 52, and Deseret Lane which will connect to the
MUPs of nearby and adjacent developments.
(3) The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and narrative text of the
Comprehensive Plan;

facilities or other mitigation measures to address impacts on traffic, parks, recreational
facilities, schools, and pedestrian and bicycle trails. The proposal will provide impact fees
during the permitting process to address the impacts on traffic, parks, and schools. Further,
a concurrency evaluation and traffic impact analysis were completed as a portion of the
review and the development will construct improvements proportionately addressing the
plat’s impacts to the transportation network. The development will also construct MUPs that
may be used for pedestrian and bicycle travel to and around the area.
• Transportation Policy TR-1-F: Develop an interconnected network of streets, trails, and
other public ways during the development process while preserving neighborhood identity.

provided on the preliminary plat containing the following information:
1.Total area of proposed plat in acres;
2.Number of lots and square footage of each lot;
3.Minimum lot size;
4.Maximum lot size;
5.Average lot size;
6.Number of lots per phase; and
7.Total area of proposed rights-of-way per phase.
ix.Preliminary layout of water, storm drainage and sanitary sewer systems.
PUBLIC HEARING: Upon receipt of a fully completed, and accepted, application for preliminary plat
approval, a date shall be set for an open record hearing before the Hearing Examiner.
Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the Hearing Examiner shall approve the preliminary plat with
or without conditions or deny the preliminary plat. The Hearing Examiner shall make and enter into
findings from the record and conclusions thereof as to whether or not:
Page 2 of 6
1.Adequate provisions are made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for open
spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks,
playgrounds, transit stops, schools and school grounds, sidewalks for safe walking conditions
for students and other public needs;
2.The proposed subdivision contributes to the orderly development and land use patterns in the
area;
3.The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and narrative text of the
Comprehensive Plan;
4.The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of any applicable policies or plans
which have been adopted by the City Council;
5.The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of this Title;
6.The public use and interest will be served by approval of the proposed subdivision.
NOTICE OF DECISION: Following adoption of a resolution approving or denying a preliminary plat, the
applicant shall be notified of the Hearing Examiner's action. The notice shall inform the applicant of
applicable time limitations for final plat submittal if the preliminary plat was approved. The approved
preliminary plat does not constitute an acceptance of the subdivision, but is deemed to be an
authorization to proceed with preparation of the final plat.
ADJUSTMENTS:
1.Minor Adjustments. Minor adjustments may be made and approved by the City Planner. Minor
adjustments are those which may affect the precise dimensions of the plat but which do not
affect the basic character or arrangement of the lots and streets. The adjustments cannot be
inconsistent with the requirements of the preliminary plat approval. The adjustments cannot
cause the subdivision to be in violation of this title, the zoning ordinance, any other applicable
City land use controls, Chapter 58.17 RCW, or any other applicable state law or regulation.
2.Major Adjustments. Major adjustments are those, when determined by the City Planner, that
substantially change the basic design, layout, open space or other requirements of the plat.
When the City Planner determines a change constitutes a major adjustment, a new application
for a preliminary plat is required and shall be processed as a new and separate application.
3.Time Limitations. A preliminary plat shall be valid for a five-year period following Hearing
Examiner approval of the preliminary plat.
LARGE DEVELOPMENTS:
In order to discourage premature subdivision and unfeasible improvements of streets, the following
procedure is provided for:
1.When a developer or group of developers have in their control an area of land which they wish
to plat, but of such a large size that the sale of a majority of the lots in the area would take
more than a year, they may cause to be prepared a preliminary plat for the entire area of
development;
2.On such preliminary plat, development divisions may be designated;
3.Upon approval of the preliminary plat, the developer may cause to be prepared a final plat for
one or more development divisions, provided the order of development allows for the
Page 3 of 6
provision of utilities and streets with proper alignment with existing and future utilities and
streets;
4.Each development division shall be considered as a final plat and provisions of these
regulations shall be complied with for such development division.
Additional Considerations:
Due to the potential changes resulting from the Transportation Impact Analysis {TIA}, plans depicting
civil improvements within the plat shall not be submitted for review until the TIA, for the entire
preliminary plat, is completed and accepted by the City Engineer.

Re: Survey Requested
Dear Ivan Barragan:
Thank you for contacting the Washington State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and
Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) and providing documentation
regarding the above referenced project. These comments are based on the information
available at the time of this review and on behalf of the SHPO in conformance Washington State
law. Should additional information become available, our assessment may be revised.
Our statewide predictive model indicates that there is a high probability of encountering cultural
resources within the proposed project area. Further, the scale of the proposed ground disturbing
actions would destroy any archaeological resources present. Identification during construction is
not a recommended detection method because inadvertent discoveries often result in costly
construction delays and damage to the resource. Therefore, we recommend a professional
archaeological survey of the project area be conducted and a report be produced prior to
ground disturbing activities. This report should meet DAHP’s Standards for Cultural Resource
Reporting.
We also recommend that any historic buildings or structures (45 years in age or older) located
within the project area are evaluated for eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic
Places on Historic Property Inventory (HPI) forms. We highly encourage the SEPA lead agency
to ensure that these evaluations are written by a cultural resource professional meeting the SOI
Professional Qualification Standards in Architectural History.
Please note that the recommendations provided in this letter reflect only the opinions of DAHP.
Any interested Tribes may have different recommendations. We appreciate receiving any
correspondence or comments from Tribes or other parties concerning cultural resource issues
that you receive.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. Please ensure that the DAHP Project
Tracking Number is shared with any hired cultural resource consultants and is attached to any
communications or submitted reports. Please also ensure that any reports, site forms, and/or
historic property inventory (HPI) forms are uploaded to WISAARD by the consultant(s).

RE: SEPA2023-032 & PP2022-007 – Madison Park North
I-182 Exit 9 (Road 68) vicinity
We have reviewed the proposed subdivision and have the following comments.
The subject property is not adjacent to Interstate 182 (I-182); however, I-182 is the sole arterial
providing access between north Pasco and the surrounding area, specifically, regional employment
centers. The applicant indicates this residential development will generate 4,600 daily trips and
WSDOT expects the majority of these trips will utilize I-182.
We are not opposed this project, but we continue to be concerned with the cumulative impact
continued residential development in north Pasco is having on the state highway system. At some
point, developer driven traffic will exceed the capacity of the I-182 interchanges. Therefore, we
request the city assess a pro rata share contribution from the developer for future improvements at the
Exit 9 (Road 68) interchange.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this proposal. If you have any questions
regarding this letter, please contact Jacob Prilucik at (509) 577-1635.

Dear Jennifer Ballard:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance
regarding the Madison Park North Project (Proponent: Dave Swisher). After reviewing the
documents, the Department of Ecology (Ecology) submits the following comments:
Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction Program
Please keep in mind that during the construction activities associated with the Madison
Park North Project, some construction-related wastes produced may qualify as
dangerous wastes in Washington State. Some of these wastes include:
• Absorbent material
• Aerosol cans
• Asbestos-containing materials
• Lead-containing materials
• PCB-containing light ballasts
• Waste paint
• Waste paint thinner
• Sanding dust
• Treated wood
Please visit the Construction and Demolition website for a more comprehensive list and
a link to help identifying and designating your wastes.
The applicant, as the facility generating the waste, bears the responsibility for all
construction waste. The waste generator is the person who owns the site. Even if you
hire a contractor to conduct the demolition or a waste service provider to designate
your waste, the site owner ultimately assumes liability. The applicant should diligently
research reputable and reliable contractors for this reason.
Jennifer Ballard
July 18, 2024

In order to adequately identify some of your construction and remodel debris, you may
need to sample and test the wastes generated to determine whether they contain
dangerous waste. Please visit the Construction and Demolition website, under the
Before Demolition: Assess the Building heading for more information on a how to
sample and what to test for prior to demolition.

Road; Parcel # 114-250-018 in Pasco, Franklin County, WA.
DescripƟon of Proposal: The applicant, Dave Swisher, proposes to subdivide a 129.09-acre parcel into 464
residenƟal building lots for single family dwellings within the R-1 Low Density ResidenƟal Zoning District, along

BACKGROUND
1. SUBJECT PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Legal Description: Binding Site Plan 2008-03 Lot 2
Tax Parcel Number: 119-740-015
Address: 2326 W A Street, Pasco, WA 99301
General Location: Located on the south side of W A Street at the intersection of W A
Street and S 23rd Avenue.
Property Size: 1.38 acres
2. ACCESS: The parcel fronts on and has public road access on W A Street.
3. UTILITIES: The site is currently served by municipal water and sewer from lines located in
the Right-of-Way of W A Street.
4. LAND USE, ZONING: The subject property is zoned I-1 Light Industrial (I-1) and is currently
used for industrial storage and as a lay-down yard. Surrounding properties are zoned and
developed as follows:
NORTH: R-1-A2 Low-Density Residential Alternative District; Single Family Dwellings on
approximately 1/6 acre lots
C-3 General Business District; Parking Lot for Neighboring Business
EAST: R-4 High-Density Residential District; 3-story multifamily apartment complex
SOUTH: I-1 Light Industrial; Waterfront Revetment and Paved Bike Path
WEST: C-1 Retail Business District; Undeveloped and occupied by shrub-steppe
vegetation, occasionally beehive boxes are placed on-site
Along the entire width of the subject property, beginning at the southern property line
extending approximately 15 feet northeast, is land considered within the Shoreline
Jurisdiction.
5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation for
the subject property is Mixed Residential/Commercial. The Mixed
Residential/Commercial Land Use designation allows for a combination of mixed-use
residential and commercial in the same development. Single-family dwellings, patio
homes, townhouses, apartments and condominiums are allowed at a density of 5 to 29
dwelling units per acre (du/ac). Neighborhood shopping and specialty centers, business
parks, service and office uses are also allowed. Land with this designation may be assigned
zoning districts R-1 through R-4, C-1, O, and [Mixed Use]. Per Pasco Municipal Code (PMC
25.215.015) the maximum gross density of any proposed development within any zoning
district, expressed as dwelling units per acre, shall be no less than the corresponding
3
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.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for this project.
Based on the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) checklist , SEPA2024-058,
Comprehensive Plan, applicable regulations, and other information, a threshold
determination resulting in a Determination of Non‐Significance (DNS) for this project was
issued on December 24, 2024, under WAC 197‐11‐158.
7. SITE HISTORY: The subject property was annexed into the City by Ordinance 1050 passed
by City Council on April 17, 1962. The subject property was part of Government Lot 2 in
Section 36, Township 9 North, Range 29 East WM. In 1996, a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment passed which resulted in a Land Use designation change to Mixed
Residential. In 2021, Comprehensive Plan update approved via Ordinance 4537 changed
the Land Use Designation to Mixed Residential/Commercial. The most recent division of
the subject property occurred in 2008 via Binding Site Plan 2008-03. The site was
undeveloped until 2008 when building permit B08-1117 was issued. The property is
currently used for industrial storage and as a lay-down yard.
Requirements for Zoning Petition
The petition for a change of classification must include the following information per PMC.
25.210.030:
1. The date the existing zone became effective:
It is unknown when the subject property was zoned I-1. The assignment of I-1 zoning to
the subject property may have occurred as early as 1965; the zoning district I-1 was
established in the Zoning Ordinance of 1965 adopted via Ordinance 1203. Staff was unable
to locate a Resolution or Ordinance addressing the subject property’s zoning around the
time the subject property annexed into the City by Ordinance 1050 passed by City Council
on April 17, 1962. Staff was also unable to locate a zoning map amendment for this
property after the adoption of Ordinance 1203 through to 1980 , or locate the 1965 zoning
map. The subject property was classified as I-1 on the City’s 1990 zoning map.
2. The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
Per the Applicant, “Best use of the property to match the existing multifamily buildings
adjacent.”
3. Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public heal th, safety and general
welfare:
Per the Applicant, “It will be a better fit for the surrounding areas which are commercial
to the West and Multifamily construction to the East and Residential to the North .”
4. The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent prope rty and the
Comprehensive Plan:
4
Per the Applicant, “It will increase the value of the surrounding property as it will match
the higher density adjacent.”
5. The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
Per Applicant, “The best use and fit for the parcel would not be realized. The light industrial
building and its lay down yard do not fit well with the Commercial and Multifamily lots
surrounding it.”
6. The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the property:
The City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property’s Land Use as Mixed
Residential/Commercial.
7. Such other information as the Hearing Examiner requires .
ANALYSIS
Request
Jesus Zepeda, owner of Zepgon Investments LLC, submitted a SEPA checklist, SEPA2024-058, and
Rezone Application, Z2024-009, to rezone approximately 1.38 acres of land from zoning district
I-1 Light Industrial to R-4 High-Density Residential as the property is next to R-4 and across the
street from R-1-A2 zoned and developed property.
Staff would like to note that the proposed rezone does not include a project action. It is
anticipated that should the rezone be approved a subsequent multifamily residential project may
be submitted for review. Any subsequent development proposals will be required to adhere to
Pasco Municipal Code.
STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
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. The Application for Rezone, Z2024-009, and SEPA Environmental Checklist, SEPA2024-
055, were submitted for review on November 1, 2024, and a Determination of Complete
Application issued on November 7, 2024.
2. Applicant proposes to rezone the property addressed as 2326 W A Street, Pasco, Parcel
119-740-015 (subject property), from I-1 Light Industrial to R-4 High-Density Residential
to construct apartments.
3. The subject property fronts on and has road access to W A Street, a public road classified
as an Arterial.
4. The subject property is approximately 1.38 acres in area.
5. The subject property was developed in 2008 and is occupied by Generation Plastering LLC,
owned by the Applicant.
6. The City’s 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the subject
properties as Mixed Residential/Commercial.
5
7. Land with a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation (Land Use) of Mixed
Residential/Commercial may be assigned zoning districts R-1 through R-4, C-1, O, and
[Mixed Use].
8. Mixed Residential/Commercial land allows single-family dwellings, patio homes,
townhouses, apartments and condominiums at a density of 5 to 29 du/ac.
9. Per the Comprehensive Plan, property with a Land Use of Mixed Residential/Commercial
cannot be rezoned to I-1, but can be rezoned to R-4 High-Density Residential.
10. In 2018, the lot immediately adjacent to the east of the subject property and under the
same ownership as the subject property was rezoned from I-1 to R-3 Medium Density
Residential.
11. In 2021, the land between the subject property and S 20th Avenue, which was under the
same ownership of the subject property, currently totaling 8.4 acres, was rezoned from
R-3 and I-1 to R-4. These properties have since been developed into multifamily
apartments.
12. A Notice of Application with Optional SEPA Determination of Non-Significance was issued
on November 20, 2024. The NOA/ODNS was published in the Tri-City Herald newspaper,
posted on the City of Pasco Public Notice webpage, the SEPA Register website, and on the
subject property.
13. Comments were received from Basin Disposal, Ecology and WDFW.
14. No comments were received from property owners or Pasco residents in response to the
Notice of Application or Notice of Public Hearing.
15. A SEPA Determination of Non-Significance was issued for SEPA2024-058 on December 24,
2024 and posted on the SEPA Register website, and distributed to Parties of Record.
16. Public notice of this hearing was sent to property owners within 300 feet of the property,
to parties of record, and published in the Tri-City Herald newspaper.
17. Per PMC 2.50.080(1), the Hearing Examiner may conduct hearings and prepare
recommendations for City Council consideration of rezone applications.
TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a rezone, the Hearing Examiner must develop
findings of fact from which to draw their conclusions based upon the criteria listed in PMC
25.210.060(1). The criteria are as follows:
1. The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Mixed Residential/Commercial Land Use allows for R-4 zoning and may be developed with
apartments. I-I zoning is not consistent with the comprehensive plan.
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:
• Land Use Policy LU-4-A: Encourage infill and higher density uses within proximity to
major travel corridors and public transportation service areas.
6
• Land Use Policy LU-4-F: Support mixed use, smart growth, infill, and compact
developments with transit and pedestrian amenities that promote a healthy
community.
• Housing Goal H-1: Encourage housing for all economic segments of the city’s
population consistent with the local and regional market.
• Housing Policy H-1-A: Allow for a range of housing including single family homes,
townhouses, condominiums, apartments, and manufactured housing, accessory
dwelling units, zero lot line, planned unit developments etc.
See Findings of Fact 4 – 7.
2. The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental.
This application for rezone will not be materially detrimental to the immediate vicinity as many
properties in the immediate vicinity are residential. If the rezone to R-4 is approved the site would
be redeveloped as Columbia River Walk Apartments West, an extension of the existing
apartments on the over 8 acres immediately adjacent to the subject property and west of S 20th
Avenue. See Finding of Fact 9.
3. There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.
Rezoning the subject property provides the opportunity for residential development which will
benefit from the proximity and/or access to the Columbia River and the riverside bike trail and
parks maintained by the City of Pasco.
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.
4. Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from
the proposal.
The rezone application and future site development 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.
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 be Parcel 119-740-
015 be rezoned from zoning district I-1 Light Industrial to R-4 High-Density Residential.

SUBJECT: WDFW COMMENTS ON SEPA DNS Z2024-009
Dear Ms. Ballard,
Thank you for the opportunity to review the rezone application, Z2024-009 which would rezone
approximately 1.38 acres of land from light industrial to high-density residential. The
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has reviewed the application. As
identified in the notice, a portion of the property along the southern edge is located within the
Shoreline Jurisdiction. WDFW would recommend that the portion of the property that is within
the Shoreline Jurisdiction be planted with native plants including shrubs and potentially trees to
preserve the shoreline environment and offset impacts from the high-density residential building.
WDFW is willing to assist with guidance on appropriate plants that could help improve the
habitat at this location.
Thank you again for the opportunity to comment. Please contact me at 509-607-3578 or
Scott.Downes@dfw.wa.gov to address these comments.
Sincerely,
Scott Downes

BACKGROUND

Request
Applicant proposes to construct a student dormitory approximately 54,000 square feet in size,
designed to provide around 162 rental beds within 42 units. The facility will be 61 feet 10 inches tall
from basement level grade to peak and 51 feet 10 inches tall from first floor grade to peak.
Site
The site is addressed 2600 N 20th Ave (Parcel # 119170013). The site is surrounded by a minor arterial
road to the north and principal arterial road to the east. West of the site are ramps. South is
interstate 182. This site is currently developed with multiple campus buildings none of which are a
residence hall.
History
The site was annexed into the City of Pasco in 1953 under Ordinance No. 759. The current zoning
designation is R-1 however staff was unable to locate the Ordinance. Per Columbia Basin College’s
website the first constructed permanent building was completed in September of the year 1957. An
ongoing capital construction program has added about 18 additional buildings since.
STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
1) The applicant proposes to construct a student housing facility on campus.
2) All housing types consistent with the zoning district and Comprehensive Plan density and the
Zone District Standards per PMC 25.22.020 – Permitted housing types, are permitted in this
zone.
3) The proposed dormitory is classified as an accessory use to Columbia Basin College, which is
considered a school and, therefore, requires a special permit as a conditional use per PMC
25.45.040(3).
4) Multi-family attached housing has a maximum building height of 35 feet in the R-1 Low Density
Residential District per PMC Table 25.22.060(1).
5) The proposed facility will be 61 feet 10 inches tall from basement level grade to highest peak.
6) The adoption of Ordinance 4700A removed the following language “except a greater height may
be approved by special permit.” For principal buildings such as multi-family attached housing.
7) Notice of the public hearing was sent to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property
and emailed to parties of record on December 24, 2024.
8) Notice of the public hearing was published in the Tri-City Herald on December 22, 2024.
9) Comments were received from WSDOT, Ecology, Colville Tribes, and BDI.
10) No comments were received from property owners or Pasco residents in response to the Notice
of Application or Notice of Public Hearing.
11) A SEPA Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance was issued for SEPA2024-055/SP2024-017
on December 24, 2024, and posted on the SEPA Register website, and distributed to Parties of
Record.
12) Although Columbia Basin College (CBC) has student housing east of N 20th Avenue, there is no
residence hall located on-site.
TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON FINDINGS OF FACT
As per PMC 25.200.080, Upon conclusion of the open record hearing, the Hearing Examiner shall
make and enter findings from the record and conclusions thereof as to whether or not:
4
(1) The proposal is in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives, maps and/or narrative text
of the Comprehensive Plan;
The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as “Public/Quasi-Public Lands” The Public/Quasi-Public
land use designation is allowed by special permit in all disctricts (except I-3 which has various
restrictions). However, the application is for an “Unclassified Use” under PMC 25.200.020. While the
current zoning of the site is R-1 (Low Density Residential District), Unclassified Uses may be permitted
as a conditional use.
• Land Use Policy LU-4-A: Reduce the dependency of vehicle travel and encourage pedestrian
and multi-modal options by providing compatible land-uses in and around residential
neighborhoods. Although the proposed project is not in and around residential
neighborhoods it will reduce the dependency of vehicle travel and encourage pedestrian and
multi-modal travel.
• Land Use Policy LU-4-B: Encourage infill and higher density uses within proximity to major
travel corridors and public transportation service areas. The proposed project qualifies as
infill development, as it is situated on a property that, despite initial development beginning
in 1957, has retained undeveloped areas for a significant period. This high-density project
includes 162 rental beds across 42 units and is strategically located adjacent to two arterial
streets and multiple bus stops.
• Land Use Goal LU-5: Maintain a broad range of residential land use designations to
accommodate a variety of lifestyles and housing opportunities. The proposed use will
accommodate for the college lifestyle while providing a variety of travel options.
(2) The proposal will adversely affect public infrastructure;
Accesses to the site are established and include items such as curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street
lighting. Utilities are available to the site and have been designed and constructed to accommodate
current and proposed uses. The proposed use is not expected to increase the need for infrastructure
improvements and is unlikely to negatively impact existing infrastructure, given the presence of an
on-campus residence hall.
(3) The proposal will be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with the existing
or intended character of the general vicinity;
The properties in the general vicinity include residential, commercial, and office uses. Such as student
housing, hotels, airport, and other general businesses. An increase in traffic is not anticipated.
Therefore, the proposal should not affect the character of the general vicinity.
(4) The location and height of proposed structures and the site design will discourage the
development of permitted uses on property in the general vicinity or impair the value thereof;
The proposed structure will be located across the street from an industrial property (airport). The
proposed height will be taller than the outright allowed height but permitted uses in the general
vicinity are of similar height. The intent of the building design is to match the nature of the general
vicinity.
(5) The operations in connection with the proposal will be more objectionable to nearby
properties by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic, or flashing lights than would be the
operation of any permitted uses within the district;
The proposal was analyzed under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and impacts related to
noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic, or flashing lights were analyzed as a part of the review. Based
5
on the information provided, requirements of PMC and Pasco Design & Construction Standards
should mitigate impacts to the built and natural environment. It is not anticipated that the proposal
would be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic,
or flashing lights.
(6) The proposal will endanger the public health or safety if located and developed where
proposed, or in any way will become a nuisance to uses permitted in the district.
The proposal is required to adhere to PMC, including, but not limited to provisions such as the
outdoor lighting and noise ordinances. The use, residence hall, will not endanger the public health or
safety.
APPROVAL CONDITIONS
1) The special permit shall apply to the property addressed 2600 N 20th Ave (Parcel # 119170013),
and any subsequent subdivision(s) thereof.
2) The number of dwelling units shall not exceed 42.
3) Parking spaces shall be provided at one space per dwelling unit for a minimum of 42 parking
spaces.
4) A trash enclosure is required, and its location is subject to further review by Basin Disposal. The
applicant shall coordinate with Basin Disposal and obtain written approval for the new proposed
location, all while meeting PMC requirements.
5) The proposed structure shall be constructed and situated in substantial conformance with the
plans submitted with the special permit application and included in the January Hearing
Examiner’s Packet.
6) The special permit shall become null and void if the above conditions are not met.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of a Special Permit for the construction and use of an on-site dormitory
located at the southwest corner of W Argent Rd and N 20th Ave known as 2600 N 20th Ave (Parcel
#119170013) with conditions as herein proposed.

M. Barragan,
Thank you for alerting us to the proposed project near the Tri-Cities Airport. The estimated project area is shown in light
blue stripes. The proposed project is within WSDOT Aviation land use compatibility Zone 6 (see below image). Motels
and hotels (and similar uses) are permitted in Zone 6. I am attaching the allowed land use tables for your reference. If
you have any questions about this or wish to set up a meeting, please let me know.
It is important that the project sponsor review this information to ensure that any planned land uses align with WSDOT’s
guidance.
You don't often get email from aviationlanduse@wsdot.wa.gov. Learn why this is important

Please be advised your proposed undertaking lies within the traditional territory of the Palus Tribe. The Palus Tribe is a
constituent member of and represented by the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation [Colville Confederated
Tribes (CCT)]. The CCT is governed by the Colville Business Council (CBC). The CBC delegated to the Tribal Historic
Preservation Officer (THPO) the responsibility of representing the CCT with regards to cultural resources management
issues throughout these traditional territories of our constituent tribes under Resolution 1996-29. This area includes
most of eastern Washington, parts of northeastern Oregon, south central British Columbia, and parts of north central
Idaho. In 1996, the CCT also entered into an agreement with the National Park Service to assume state historic
preservation officer responsibilities as outlined in Section 101 (d) (2) of the National Historic Preservation Act. The
assumption agreement explicitly tasks the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO), to advise and assist Federal and
State agencies and local governments in carrying out their historic preservation responsibilities and for the CCT to carry
out their responsibilities for review of federal undertakings regarding cultural resources matters.
The project entails construction of a student housing facility, approximately 54,000 square feet in size, designed to
provide around 162 rental beds within 42 units. The proposed building will have a height of 51 feet, 10 inches.
There is insufficient data to assess impacts of this project on cultural resources. Therefore, we request a letter from
DAHP with an assessment of the cultural resources within the APE, and/or an archaeological assessment or investigation
be conducted in the project APE and the resulting report be sent for review prior to the commencement of the project.

Dear Ivan Barragan:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Notice of Application and anticipated Mitigated
Determination of Nonsignificance regarding the Columbia Basin College Student Housing
Residential Unit Project (Proponent: Robert Uhrich). After reviewing the documents, the
Department of Ecology (Ecology) submits the following comments:
Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction Program
Please keep in mind that during the construction activities associated with the Columbia
Basin College Student Housing Residential Unit Project, some construction-related wastes
produced may qualify as dangerous wastes in Washington State. Some of these wastes
include:
• Absorbent material
• Aerosol cans
• Asbestos-containing materials
• Lead-containing materials
• PCB-containing light ballasts
• Waste paint
• Waste paint thinner
• Sanding dust
• Treated wood
Please visit the Construction and Demolition website for a more comprehensive list and a
link to help identifying and designating your wastes.
The applicant, as the facility generating the waste, bears the responsibility for all
construction waste. The waste generator is the person who owns the site. Even if you hire
a contractor to conduct the demolition or a waste service provider to designate your waste,
the site owner ultimately assumes liability. The applicant should diligently research
reputable and reliable contractors for this reason.

In order to adequately identify some of your construction and remodel debris, you may
need to sample and test the wastes generated to determine whether they contain
dangerous waste. Please visit the Construction and Demolition website, under the Before
Demolition: Assess the Building heading for more information on a how to sample and what
to test for prior to demolition.

Water Resources Program
The water purveyor bears responsibility for ensuring that the proposed use(s) are within the
limitations of its water rights. If the proposal’s actions differ from the existing water right
(source, purpose, the place of use, or period of use), then it is subject to approval from the
Department of Ecology pursuant to Sections 90.03.380 RCW and 90.44.100 RCW.
