4, 2025, in the amount of $45,481.00. The project is now complete and was
constructed per project specifications. Final construction costs paid totaled
$45,481.00.
There were no change orders for the project.
This project was funded through a State of Washington Department of
Commerce Grant and local funds.

new standards for Minor League Baseball (MLB) Parks imposed by MLB and to
preserve the presence of the Tri-Cities Dust Devils baseball team within the
Page 38 of 230
community, City staff worked with the Dust Devils and MLB to identify required
improvements to the stadium to improve both player and fan experience.
In 2019, fan seating and lighting upgrades were completed. In 2021, new
batting cages were installed. In 2023, both home and visiting team's
clubhouses were remodeled, locker rooms were expanded, and an umpire
locker room was created.
During its last session, the State Legislature approved an appropriation of
$3,000,000 to fund this year's GESA Stadium Improvements.
This season’s improvements include upgrading the outfield lighting, installing
expanded safety netting along the seating areas, replacing the outfield fence
system, adding a new batter’s eye and foul poles, dugout seating additions,
updating the sound and surveillance systems, creating a new locker room for
female staff, installing new video boards, and expanding and enclosing the
batting cages. Tonight's proposed action specifically focuses on
the dugout bench additions.
The project is complete and the materials and workmanship meets the
standards specified in the contract documents.
V. DISCUSSION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Resolution accepting the work
performed by CMR General Contractor LLC for the Construction of the MLB
required improvements at GESA Stadium for Dugout Bench Additions (Phase
1-B) Project.

ANALYSIS
Request
Shane O’Neill of Clover Planning & Zoning, on behalf of Jesus Higareda Diaz has submitted a rezone
application (Z 2024-005) from C-1 (Retail Business District) to MU (Mixed-Use District), for THE PORTION
OF BLOCK 1, TOGETHER WITH VACATED ALLEYS AND STREETS WHICH LIE WITHIN THE WEST 250 FEET OF
THE EAST 460 FEET OF THE NORTH 290 FEET OF O'KEEFE'S THIRD ADDITION TO PASCO, ACCORDING TO
THE PLAT THEREOF RECORDED IN VOLUME "B" OF PLATS, PAGE 37, R (Northern part of Parcel
119451320), located south of West Sylvester Street and West of North 20th Avenue, Pasco, Franklin
County, WA.
Site
The site comprises approximately 1.66 acres (72,309.6 square feet) and is vacant.
History
The site was annexed into the City in 1971 (Ordinance 1488) and was assigned the zoning of C-1
(Commercial) within the same ordinance. The 2018-2038 Pasco Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map
Page 92 of 230
3
designates the site for "Mixed Residential and Commercial Land Use;" however, at the time of
Comprehensive Plan adoption, the City did not have a zoning district to facilitate the intent of that Mixed
Residential and Commercial land use classification. In May of 2023 City Council approved Ordinance 4668,
amending the Pasco Municipal Code Section 25.20.010 “Establishment of Zoning Districts" and Chapter
25.127 "WD Waterfront Development District" replacing the " WD District" with " MU Mixed-Use District,"
allowing for Mixed-Use developments citywide, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
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 zoned C-1 (Retail Business District) zoning in 1971 (Ordinance 1488).
2. The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
Passage of Ordinance 4668 (May 2023) modifying the City’s zoning code and providing for a Mixed-use
zoning option is the primary changed condition allowing the rezone. Additionally, the City of Pasco has
been growing rapidly over the last twenty years, which in turn has created the need for more diverse types
of housing and commercial development. The properties were changed to a “Mixed Residential and
Commercial” classification during the city’s periodic update to the Comprehensive Plan. With that land use
classification, present market conditions/interest, and presence along West Sylvester Street, the proposal
area is ripe for mixed-use development, except for the current zoning designation. The proposed rezone
would allow the site to be developed as intended per the Comprehensive Plan land use map.
3. Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and general welfare:
A rezone from Retail Business (C-1) to Mixed-Use (MU) would allow for an increased supply of housing
without putting further pressure on expanding Urban Growth Boundaries. It would also provide the ability
to increase the amount of affordable housing options for residents in Pasco.
Additionally, Ben Franklin Transit’s 22nd Avenue Transit Center is located approximately .08 miles from the
proposed zone change site. There are also newly installed bike lanes directly off West Sylvester Street.
There is a grocery store [SuperMex] located approximately .09 miles from the area of proposed zone
change. It is also located approximately .04 miles from Rowena Chess Elementary School and
approximately .24 miles from Issac Stevens Middle School, along with it being approximately .61 miles
from Pasco High School.
Having transit, school, and grocery options will “…encourage a vibrant and active neighborhood,
promoting both economic growth and enhanced social interaction [Z2025-004 Narrative, Pg.3].”
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. According to the table in Pasco
Municipal Code (PMC) 25.215.015, the Mixed Residential and Commercial classification is intended to
“Allow a combination of mixed-use residential and commercial in the same development. Single-family
dwellings, patio homes, townhouses, apartments, and condominiums at a density of 5 [7 units per acre as
prescribed in PMC 25.170.070(2)(C)]to 29 dwelling units per acre. Neighborhood shopping and specialty
centers, business parks, service and office uses.”
Further, the adjacent property’s value and character are not anticipated to be negatively affected because
mixed-use development has been established by City Council as an appropriate and beneficial use of the
Page 93 of 230
4
site as set out in the City’s approved Comprehensive Plan. The site of the proposed zone change is located
near transit, schools, and shopping, which furthers the viability for changing the zoning to Mixed-Use.
The rezone application is consistent with and meets the intent of the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
5. The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
If the site remains with the current zoning designations the site may remain underutilized, and the owner
will not be able to deliver a mixed-use project that can put ideals related to the following themes [from
the City’s Comprehensive Plan- Land Use Policy LU-4-F)] into action: “smart growth, infill, and compact
developments with transit and pedestrian amenities that promote a healthy community.” Applicant also
laid out the following negative effects within their application narrative; Limited development options,
reduced property value, missed economic opportunities, increased development costs for commercial-only
use, inflexibility to adapt to market trends, and longer timeframe for development [Z2025-004 Narrative,
Pg. 4-7].
6. The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the property
The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the lot “Mixed Residential and Commercial
District;” both the current and the proposed zoning district are compatible with the Comprehensive Plan
Land Use designation.
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. The opportunity for a mix of residential and retail commercial uses in this area supports the Land
Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT

TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF 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 “Mixed Residential and Commercial
District.” The proposed MU zoning district would be in alignment with the Land Use map within the City’s
Comprehensive Plan. Future potential development could additionally foster or help to implement the
following goals/policies from the Comprehensive Plan:
Land Use Element Goal 4: Increase community accessibility through proper land use planning.
Policy 4-B: Encourage infill and higher density uses within proximity to major travel corridors and
public transportation service areas.
• Proposed zone change is located near a transit center and bike lanes. It is also located
near an intersection of a Minor Arterial (West Sylvester Street) and a Principal Arterial
(North 20th Avenue).
Policy 4-C: Encourage the development of walkable communities by increasing mixed-use
(commercial/residential) developments that provide households with neighborhood and
commercial shopping opportunities.
• Proposed zone change is located nearby shopping areas, including a grocery store. The
proposed zone change could also provide the ability to locate some commercial
development on-site, furthering the ability to provide shopping opportunities within
walking distance.
Policy 4-F: Support mixed-use, smart growth, infill, and compact developments with transit and
pedestrian amenities that promote a healthy community.
• Mixed-Use Zoning District provides for dwellings at a density of between 5 [7 units per
acre as prescribed in PMC 25.127.070(2)(C)] and 29 dwelling units per acre. There are also
schools ranging from elementary to high school located less than one mile from the site.
It is also located near a transit center, with bike lanes located directly off West Sylvester
Street.
Land Use Element Goal 5: Maintain a broad range of residential land use designations to accommodate a
variety of lifestyles and housing opportunities.
Policy 5-A: Allow a variety of residential densities throughout the UGA.
Page 95 of 230

• PMC 25.127.020(2) allows for single-family detached, single-family attached (duplexes
and townhouses), and two-family/multiple (family) dwellings. Purpose statement for the
Mixed-Use Zoning District states the intent of the district is “…to provide a high level of
diversity in housing types including townhouses and flats in mid-rise buildings ranging
from two to six stories… [PMC 25.127.010].”
Policy 5-B: Encourage higher residential densities within and adjacent to major travel corridors,
downtown (Central Business District), and Broadmoor.
• Site of proposed zone change is located near an intersection of a Minor Arterial (West
Sylvester Street) and a Principal Arterial (North 20th Avenue).
Land Use Element Goal 6: Encourage distinctive quality community and regional commercial and industrial
developments that support the City’s overall development goals.
Policy 6-A: Encourage commercial and higher-density residential uses along major corridors and
leverage infrastructure availability.
• Site of proposed zone change is located near major corridors and has water and sewer
lines located near the project. There are also bike lanes located directly off West Sylvester
Street and is located near a transit center.
Housing Element Goal 1: Encourage housing for all economic segments of the City’s population consistent
with the local and regional market.
Policy 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.
• PMC 25.127.020(2) allows for single-family detached, single-family attached (duplexes
and townhouses), and two-family/multiple (family) dwellings. Purpose statement for the
Mixed-Use Zoning District states the intent of the district is “…to provide a high level of
diversity in housing types including townhouses and flats in mid-rise buildings ranging
from two to six stories… [PMC 25.127.010].”
Policy 1-B: Higher intensity housing should be located near arterials and neighborhood or
community shopping facilities and employment areas.
• Mixed-Use Zoning District provides for dwellings at a density of between 5 [7 units per
acre as prescribed in PMC 25.127.070(2)(C)] and 29 dwelling units per acre. There are also
schools ranging from elementary to high school located within one mile of the site. It is
also located near a transit center, with bike lanes located directly off West Sylvester Street.
There are also shopping areas located nearby, which includes a grocery store.
Housing Element Goal 4: Support efforts to provide affordable housing to meet the needs of the
community.
Policy 4-C: Increase housing supply and diversity through appropriate and flexible development
standards.
• Changing the zoning to Mixed-Use will increase the amount of housing supply and
diversity by allowing multi-family housing, along with the potential of commercial
development to service the area.
Economic Development Element Goal 1: Maintain economic development as an important and ongoing
city initiative.
Page 96 of 230
7
Policy 1-F: Support and encourage residential/commercial mixed-use developments that provide
neighborhood shopping and services and promote walkable neighborhoods.
• Changing the zoning to Mixed-Use will allow for the placement of housing nearby a
shopping center with a grocery store. There is also a transit center and bike lanes located
near the site. Additionally, there are multiple schools ranging elementary to high school
located within one mile of the site. All of those are key components in the development
and promotion of a walkable neighborhood.
2. The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental.
The proposal will not be materially detrimental on the immediate vicinity. Adjacent parcel to the north has
the same comprehensive plan land use designation as the proposed area, with surrounding properties
having a mixture of commercial and low-density residential comprehensive plan land use designations.
The MU district’s permitted uses would not produce excessive noise, air, or other forms of pollution
detrimental to nearby land uses.
The “Mixed Residential and Commercial District” designation allows for a mixture of residential,
commercial, and neighborhood retail/office uses. Area of the proposed zone change is located near a Ben
Franklin Transit center, bike lanes, and existing shopping centers. There is also a nearby manufactured
home park and apartment complexes.
The application for rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and meets the
intent of the Goals and Policies for the property.
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. In addition to fulfilling the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan, the proposal includes infill development and promotes a healthy and robust mixed-
use environment.
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).
Nonetheless, staff would like to bring it to the applicant’s attention that a sewer main will likely need to
be extended at the time of build to the property. Currently there is no sewer main running along the section
of West Sylvester Road in front of the property. However, any specific requirements will not be determined
until a building permit is submitted to our office.
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.
If or when applicants pursue the development of this property, they will be required to conform to design
standards established by the PMC. No Concomitant Agreement is considered necessary for this application.

Page 103 of 230
Page 2 of 7
DIAZ REZONE C-1 TO MU
Pasco Comprehensive Plan
The Land Use Map (LU-1) in Pasco’s Comprehensive Plan designates the site Mixed Residential &
Commercial. The proposed Mixed-Use zoning designation conforms to the site’s Mixed Residential &
Commercial land use designation (Ordinance 4668A – Exhibit 5).
Pasco Municipal Code
MIXED-USE DISTRICT Purpose (PMC 25.127.010)
The purpose of the mixed-use (MU) district is to allow the location of a compatible and integrated mix
of commercial (and office, education and government uses) with residential uses, as established within
the comprehensive plan. This zone district is intended to provide a high level of diversity in housing types
including townhouses and flats in mid-rise buildings ranging from two to six stories to move toward the
City’s land use and housing goals and policies relating to density and a broad range of housing types,
as required under the Growth Management Act, Chapter 36.70A RCW. In addition, ground floor
neighborhood-scale commercial and/or office uses are encouraged to create a cohesive bike and
pedestrian-oriented community.
These uses are to be designed to complement and support the nearby retail, office, and residential uses
within close proximity to each other resulting in reduced vehicle trips and a more sustainable and
convenient environment with potential access to transit.
Furthermore, it is the purpose of this chapter to:
(1) Create and maintain usable open spaces for the enjoyment of occupants, employees and/or patrons;
(2) Encourage a variety of building types including mixed-use structures, for residential and
nonresidential uses;
(3) Encourage maximum efficiency in the layout of streets, use of “complete streets” that incorporate
pedestrian, bicycling, and transit options, utility network and other improvements;
(4) Promote the sensitive treatment of significant features of the natural environment, including
vegetation, waterways and views and viewsheds; and
(5) Provide for developments that result in high quality design.
C -1 RETAIL BUSINESS DISTRICT Purpose (PMC 25.85.010)
The C -1 retail business district is established to provide for the location of commercial activities outside
the central business district that meet the retail shopping and service needs of the community.
Requirements for zoning petition. (PMC 25.210.030)
The petition for a change of classification must show the following:
(1) The date the existing zone became effective;
The property was zoned C-1 when annexed to the City in 1971 by Ordinance 1488 (Exhibit 6).
Page 104 of 230
Page 3 of 7
DIAZ REZONE C-1 TO MU
(2) The changed conditions which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning;
The need for the rezone from C-1 (Retail Business District) to Mixed Use is driven by changed conditions
in the area, specifically the increased demand for multi-family residential development. As the
population of Pasco continues to grow, there is a need for more housing options, particularly affordable
and high-density residential units. This site is well-suited for a mixed-use zoning change to allow for a
multi-family residential development that would serve the growing demand for housing. In addition,
surrounding areas are transitioning toward higher-density development, and this zoning change aligns
with current trends that prioritize mixed-use spaces to provide better access to housing and services. The
proximity to transportation corridors further enhances the viability of the site for multi-family housing
development, which requires the infrastructure and flexibility that Mixed Use zoning provides.
(3) Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and general welfare;
The rezone to Mixed Use will significantly benefit the public health, safety, and general welfare,
especially by facilitating the development of multi-family housing. A multi-family residential
development will increase housing supply, addressing current housing shortages and helping to reduce
the pressure on other residential areas where the City Limits and Urban Growth Boundary are being
expanded to make room for more housing, contrary to the mandates of Washington’s Growth
Management Act. This development will contribute to the overall affordability of housing by increasing
options for residents in Pasco. Additionally, multi-family residential developments promote walkability,
as they are often located near retail, recreational, and public services, reducing reliance on vehicles and
improving air quality. The site is adjacent to the newly installed bike lane called for in Pasco’s Bicycle
& Pedestrian Master Plan. The subject site lies immediately south of the Be-Franklin Transit center on
N 22nd Ave, behind the SuperMex grocery store.
By fostering a mixed-use environment, new residents will have easy access to essential services, creating
a more vibrant, sustainable, and cohesive community. The introduction of a higher-density residential
area will also support local businesses by increasing the population base and demand for nearby services.
By allowing a blend of residential, commercial, and recreational uses, the rezone can help reduce traffic
congestion and improve the overall quality of life for residents by providing amenities within close
proximity to where people live. Additionally, the rezone supports the development of affordable housing
and small businesses, which can offer economic opportunities and improve social stability. The
integration of residential units with commercial establishments will encourage a vibrant and active
neighborhood, promoting both economic growth and enhanced social interaction.
(4) The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent property and the Comprehensive
Plan;
The proposed rezone and subsequent multi-family residential development will positively impact the
value and character of adjacent properties. The introduction of higher-density residential units in a mixed-
use zone will likely increase property values in the area by creating a more attractive and active
Page 105 of 230
Page 4 of 7
DIAZ REZONE C-1 TO MU
neighborhood. The development will provide new housing opportunities, enhancing the livability of the
area and offering a variety of residential options for different income levels. From a character perspective,
the rezone will foster a more diverse and dynamic neighborhood that includes both residential and
commercial components, aligning with the goals of the Pasco Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive
Plan emphasizes the importance of mixed-use development to create well-balanced neighborhoods that
are sustainable, accessible, and support a range of housing types. This proposed development supports
that vision by offering multi-family housing within a mixed-use context, which aligns with the city’s
goal to enhance residential development and foster economic and social vitality. The site lies within
walking distance of a shopping center with a grocery store and a public transit center.
(5) The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted;
If the request to rezone Franklin County Tax Parcel #119451320 in Pasco, WA, from C-1 (Retail
Business District) to Mixed Use is not granted, the primary effects on the property owner could include
the following:
1. Limited Development Options:
• Commercial-Only Restrictions: Under the current Retail Business District (C-1) zoning, the
property owner would be restricted to developing retail, commercial, and certain service-oriented
uses. This zoning limits the ability to incorporate higher-density residential or mixed-use
elements, such as multi-family housing, which is in demand in Pasco. The property owner may
not be able to take full advantage of the site’s potential for a more diversified, higher-density
development.
• Inability to Capitalize on Housing Demand : Pasco is experiencing growth and increasing
demand for multi-family housing, particularly affordable units. The Retail Business District
zoning does not allow for residential development, so the property owner would miss out on this
market opportunity if the rezone is not granted. This could result in the property being developed
in a manner that doesn't meet the current and future housing needs of the community.
2. Reduced Property Value:
• Lower Development Potential: The C-1 Retail Business District zoning is typically more
restrictive in terms of what can be developed compared to a Mixed-Use zone. The inability to
introduce residential units in the development limits the property’s potential for higher-value,
multi-use developments. Consequently, the property value could be lower than if it were rezoned
to Mixed Use, which could attract higher-density residential developments that would increase
the parcel’s overall value.
• Limited Market Appeal: The property may become less appealing to potential developers,
investors, or buyers who are seeking flexibility in land use. With the focus on retail and service
businesses, and no ability to incorporate residential development, the market for the prope rty
could be more limited. This might make it more difficult for the property owner to sell or lease
the land at a competitive price.
Page 106 of 230
Page 5 of 7
DIAZ REZONE C-1 TO MU
3. Missed Economic Opportunities:
• Lack of Mixed -Use Synergies: Mixed-use developments, which combine residential and
commercial spaces, tend to foster economic activity and create vibrant communities. Without the
rezone, the property owner could miss out on the economic benefits that a mixed-use
development would offer, such as the potential for residents to support nearby retail businesses.
Additionally, this type of development encourages a diverse range of businesses and services
that cater to both residential and commercial needs, driving more foot traffic and economic
vibrancy.
• Lower Return on Investment (ROI): Multi-family residential developments typically offer a
higher return on investment compared to traditional retail-focused developments. If the Retail
Business District (C-1) zoning remains, the property owner could be restricted to building only
commercial structures, which may not generate the same level of income or financial return as a
mixed-use or residential development would.
• No I ncrease in Total Assessed Value: A future multi-family residential development will incur
a tax assessment and will increase the City’s total assessed value. This value is the basis for the
City’s financial leveraging in a variety of debt instruments. If the project is not allowed to
proceed as planned, the City will not benefit from this increased assessed value and the benefits
derived therefrom.
4. Increased Development Costs for Commercial-Only Use:
• Higher Costs for Retail Development : Commercial developments in retail districts often face
higher costs in terms of construction and maintenance, especially if the demand for retail space
is declining or shifting toward mixed-use or residential options. If the property owner is unable
to rezone the land, they may have to build a purely commercial property, which may not be as
financially viable or cost-effective in the long term.
5. Inflexibility to Adapt to Market Trends:
• Challenges in Responding to Housing Demands: Pasco’s housing market is evolving, with
increasing demand for diverse, affordable, and higher -density housing options. The C-1 (Retail
Business District) zoning does not allow for the development of residential properties, which
could leave the property owner unable to adapt to this growing demand. Without the ability to
build multi-family housing or a mixed-use project, the property may fail to meet the changing
needs of the city’s population.
• Potential Decrease in Marketability: As demand for residential space continues to rise, the
owner could find it difficult to market the property effectively with the Retail Business District
zoning. The limited use options could make the parcel less attractive to potential investors or
developers looking for flexibility in land use.
6. Longer Timeframe for Development:
• Delayed or Stagnant Development : If the rezone request is not granted, the property owner
might be forced to focus on retail and service-oriented commercial uses that may not be in high
Page 107 of 230
Page 6 of 7
DIAZ REZONE C-1 TO MU
demand. This could result in a delay in development, as the owner waits for retail demand to rise
or seeks out alternative commercial opportunities. Meanwhile, residential developers may bypass
the site in favor of locations that offer Mixed Use zoning, where both residential and commercial
opportunities are available, further delaying the development process.
If the rezone request is not granted, the property owner may face limited development options, reduced
property value, and missed economic opportunities. The Retail Business District (C-1) zoning would
restrict the property to commercial-only uses, which may not meet the growing demand for residential
space in Pasco. This could result in lower returns on investment, longer development timelines, and an
inability to adapt to evolving market trends, such as the increasing need for multi-family housing. The
owner may miss out on the opportunity to capitalize on a mixed-use development that could offer higher
economic and social benefits, both for the property owner and the community.
(6) The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the property; and
The Land Use Map in Pasco’s Comprehensive Plan designates this site for “Mixed
Residential/Commercial” land uses. PMC 25.215.015 identifies the zones available in the Mixed
Residential/Commercial land use designation. The Mixed Residential/Commercial land use designation
allows the R-1 through R-4; C-1 and O; Waterfront zones to be assigned. On May 1, 2023, City Council
adopted Ordinance 4668A (Exhibit 5) which effectively converted the Waterfront zone to a new district
called Mixed-Use, though apparently the City neglected to amend PMC 25.215.015 accordingly.
CONCLUSION
The proposed rezone of Franklin County Tax Parcel #119451320 from C-1 (Retail Business District) to
Mixed-Use represents a critical opportunity to enhance the development potential of the property, align
with Pasco's Comprehensive Plan, and meet the growing demand for housing in the region. This rezone
would facilitate the creation of a vibrant, multi-use development that supports the city's goals of efficient
land use, urban infill, and economic sustainability. The Mixed-Use zoning will provide the flexibility
needed to integrate residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, offering a diverse range of housing
options, including multi-family units, that contribute to the city's growth and quality of life.
If the rezone request is denied, the property owner would face limited development opportunities under
the current C-1 zoning, with restrictions that could hinder the ability to capitalize on market demand for
residential spaces and higher-density development. This could result in reduced property value, economic
missed opportunities, and slower development timelines. The denial of the rezone would also be contrary
to the principles set forth by the Washington Growth Management Act, which advocates for urban infill
and sustainable growth, as well as Pasco's Comprehensive Plan, which encourages the creation of
diverse, walkable, and transit-oriented communities.

DIAZ REZONE C-1 TO MU
In conclusion, granting the rezone request will support the city’s long-term development objectives,
benefit the property owner through increased development potential and value, and contribute positively
to the community by providing much-needed housing and mixed-use opportunities in a well-connected
urban area.

The list below provides Pasco’s Comprehensive Plan goals and policies supporting approval of this
rezone application together with explanations and reasoning of how our application supports each goal
and policy.
The following goals and policies affect this application: Goal LU-2, Policies LU-2-A; Goal LU-6,
Policies LU-6-A & LU-6-B; Goal ED-1, Policies ED-1-F, ED-1-A, ED-1-F, ED-2-B, ED-2-E, and IM-
1-D.
1. Land Use Goal LU-1: Promote a well-balanced, integrated pattern of land use that fosters an
efficient and sustainable urban environment.
Policy LU-1.1: Direct growth to areas that are served by urban services and infrastructure,
particularly those that support efficient land use and minimize sprawl.
• Support for Rezone: The rezone to Mixed Use supports the goal of directing growth to areas
already served by urban infrastructure such as roads, water, and sewer systems. The site for the
rezone is within Pasco’s Urban Growth Area (UGA) and is located near existing infrastructure,
making it an ideal location for urban infill development that is efficient and sustainable.
Policy LU-1.2: Promote infill development that uses vacant or underutilized parcels within the
city to reduce sprawl.
• Support for Rezone: This rezone would transform an underutilized commercial parcel into a
mixed-use development with multi-family residential units, which directly supports the policy
of infill development. By promoting higher-density residential uses in an already urbanized
area, the rezone helps reduce urban sprawl and encourages the efficient use of existing land.
2. Land Use Goal LU-2: Provide a variety of land uses that support economic vitality and
enhance the quality of life for Pasco residents.
Policy LU-2.1: Provide for a mix of land uses that create a vibrant and well-connected
community, offering a variety of housing, employment, and recreational opportunities.
• Support for Rezone: The proposed Mixed-Use zoning allows for a mix of residential and
commercial uses that create a vibrant community. The inclusion of multi-family housing helps
Page 110 of 230
Page 2 of 3
meet the city’s housing needs, while the mixed-use nature allows for opportunities for
commercial spaces, creating a more dynamic and connected neighborhood that supports the
quality of life for residents.
Policy LU-2.2: Encourage a wide range of housing types, densities, and affordability levels,
particularly in mixed-use centers.
• Support for Rezone: The proposed development will introduce multi-family residential units

3. Land Use Goal LU-3: Support development that fosters sustainable, pedestrian-oriented, and
transit-friendly communities.
Policy LU-3.1: Promote the development of pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use areas that encourage
walking, biking, and transit use.
• Support for Rezone: The Mixed Use zoning supports the development of a pedestrian-friendly
environment where residential and commercial uses are integrated. This encourages walking
and biking by reducing distances between homes, services, and public spaces, aligning with the
policy to create a more walkable and sustainable community. Additionally, the proximity to
transit corridors further enhances the project's sustainability by providing easy access to public
transportation.
Policy LU-3.3: Focus higher-density development around transit corridors to enhance
accessibility and reduce dependence on automobiles.
• Support for Rezone: The parcel is located near major transportation routes, making it a prime
candidate for higher-density development. The rezone to Mixed Use will help reduce
dependency on automobiles, in line with the Comprehensive Plan's goals to create transit-
oriented, high-density developments that are more sustainable and connected.
4. Housing Element Goal H-1: Ensure that sufficient housing opportunities are available to meet
the needs of Pasco's growing population.
Policy H-1.1: Provide a variety of housing types that accommodate diverse income levels and
household sizes.
• Support for Rezone: The rezone facilitates the development of multi-family housing, which is
crucial for providing diverse housing types in Pasco. The proposal will offer housing options
for a variety of income levels, helping to meet the growing demand for affordable and multi-
family housing units within the city.
Policy H-1.4: Promote the development of higher-density housing within urban areas,
particularly near employment centers, transit routes, and essential services.
• Support for Rezone: This rezone aligns with the policy of promoting higher-density housing,
especially near transportation corridors and essential services. The proposed multi-family
development will be located in a prime area for urban housing, where services and transit
Page 111 of 230
Page 3 of 3
options are readily accessible, which enhances its potential to serve as an ideal urban infill
project.
5. Economic Development Goal ED-2: Foster vibrant and diverse commercial and residential
areas.
Policy ED-2.1: Encourage development that integrates residential and commercial uses,
contributing to the vibrancy and economic vitality of the city.
• Support for Rezone: By facilitating a mixed-use development, the rezone supports Pasco’s
goal of integrating residential and commercial spaces. The multi-family housing units will be
part of a larger development that encourages a diverse range of uses, contributing to a vibrant
and economically active community.
Conclusion:
The proposed rezone of Franklin County Tax Parcel #119451320 from C-1 to Mixed Use is consistent
with the Pasco Comprehensive Plan. The plan’s Land Use Goals encourage infill development,
promote a mix of residential and commercial uses, and support the creation of pedestrian-friendly,
transit-oriented communities. This rezone directly supports these goals by enabling the development of
multi-family housing in an area with existing infrastructure and transportation access, which
contributes to reducing sprawl, improving the quality of life, and providing sustainable housing options
in Pasco.

Washington Growth Management Act (GMA) Support for the Rezone:
The Washington Growth Management Act (GMA) strongly supports the proposed rezone from C-1
(RETAIL BUSINESS DISTRICT) to Mixed Use, as it promotes urban infill development, enhances
sustainability, and encourages efficient land use. The GMA’s key goals include directing urban growth
to areas already served by infrastructure, reducing sprawl, and promoting the efficient use of land. By
facilitating the development of multi-family residential units on an underutilized parcel within an existing
urban area, this rezone directly aligns with the GMA’s principles.
1. Urban Growth Areas (UGAs):
The GMA encourages development within designated Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) to prevent sprawl
and ensure that growth occurs within areas where infrastructure such as roads, water, and sewer systems
are already in place. The site for this rezone is located within the UGA for Pasco, making it an ideal
candidate for infill development. The rezone will support the efficient use of land by permitting higher-
density, mixed-use development, which can help absorb the growing population in the region without
expanding the city’s urban footprint.
2. Increased Housing Options:
The GMA emphasizes the need for local governments to ensure that adequate housing is available to
meet the needs of the population, especially with respect to affordability and variety. By re-designating
this parcel to Mixed Use, the city will be able to create multi-family housing that addresses the region’s
growing demand for diverse housing types, particularly affordable and higher-density options. This
aligns with the GMA’s goal of promoting residential development in existing urban areas rather than in
rural or agricultural zones.
3. Efficient Land Use:
The GMA encourages compact, efficient land use that maximizes existing infrastructure and reduces
reliance on undeveloped or agricultural land. This rezone would facilitate urban infill by enabling a
higher density of development within an already urbanized area, which promotes a more sustainable,
walkable, and transit-friendly community. Infill development reduces urban sprawl, minimizes
environmental impacts, and ensures that growth is concentrated in areas where services are already
available.

4. Environmental Sustainability:
The GMA emphasizes environmental protection and the need to balance growth with sustainability.
Mixed-use zoning in an urban infill context reduces the need for extensive infrastructure expansion and
minimizes the environmental impact of urban sprawl. By encouraging multi-family housing, the rezone
would help create a more sustainable community by reducing the overall environmental footprint of new
development.
5. Transportation Efficiency:
The GMA stresses the importance of ensuring that growth is supported by efficient transportation
networks. This rezone supports the development of multi-family housing in close proximity to transit
corridors, which enhances access to public transportation and reduces the reliance on private vehicles.
The mixed-use nature of the development will further support a more walkable and bike-friendly
environment, aligning with the GMA’s transportation goals and reducing the carbon footprint of the area.
Conclusion:
In sum, the Washington Growth Management Act supports this rezone by encouraging urban infill,
directing growth into areas with existing infrastructure, promoting housing diversity, and enhancing
environmental sustainability. This rezone will help meet the city’s growth needs while adhering to the
GMA’s goals of reducing sprawl and improving the efficiency and sustainability of land use.

residential uses, as established within the comprehensive plan. This zone district is
intended to provide a high level of diversity in housing types including townhouses
and flats in mid-rise buildings ranging from two to six stories to move toward the
city’s land use and housing goals and policies relating to density and a broad range
of housing types, as required under the Growth Management Act, Chapter 36.70A
RCW. In addition, ground floor neighborhood-scale commercial and/or office uses
are encouraged to create a cohesive bike and pedestrian-oriented community.
These uses are to be designed to complement and support the nearby retail, office,
and residential uses and within close proximity to each other, located in resulting
in reduced vehicle trips and a more sustainable and convenient environment with
potential access to transit.

or will have shared parking spaces. See subsection (d), (e), and (f) of this
section pertaining to parking reductions. The Community and Economic
Development Director shall determine parking requirements for unlisted
uses. Uses which are not listed in the table shall have parking requirements
of the nearest analogous use which is included in the table, as determined
by the Community and Economic Development Director. If the number of

depending on public or private ownership). Parking spaces must be located
within 500 feet of the proposed use unless the use is listed under the
Recreational and Entertainment Use” category in Table 25.127(1) in which
case parking may be located off-site, provided that if the parking facility is
under different ownership, a written agreement or lease is required. No more
than 30 percent of the minimum parking requirement for an individual use
may be on-street spaces or off-street public spaces more than 500 feet away
from the proposed use except as noted above.
Page 139 of 230
Ordinance – Amending PMC 25.20.010 and PMC 25.127 - 15
d) Bicycle parking reduction. For every five bicycle parking spaces
provided, the number of vehicle parking spaces may be reduced by one up
to maximum of 10 percent of the minimum number of spaces otherwise
required.
e) Bus stop Transit reduction. Where an improved, permanent bus stop
i.e., bus shelter) is located within 1,000 feet of a use, If a site is within ¼
mile of a current, planned, or proposed public transportation facility or
service, the required number of parking stalls may be reduced by ten
percent.
f) Shared Uses. Owners of two or more uses, structures, or parcels of
land within 500 feet of each other may share the same parking area when
the hours of operation do not overlap. Whenever shared parking is allowed
under this section, the parking lot shall be signed so as to reasonably notify
the public of the availability of use, and spaces shall not be assigned,
allocated or reserved between uses; a notarized and recorded parking
agreement shall be required for shared parking between two or more
separate tax parcels under separate ownership.
g) Special event parking lots used on an infrequent basis such as those
associated with seasonal play fields shall be exempt from provisions of this
chapter.
h) No boat, motor home, camp trailer, trailer, fifth wheel, pickup
camper, snowmobile, or utility trailer as defined in PMC Title 25 shall be
stored or maintained on any public street, right-of-way, or other public
areas.

SEPA 1 Environmental Checklist
Purpose of checklist
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization, or
compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact
statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
Instructions for applicants
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer
each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an
agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or “does not apply”
only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach
or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions
often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time
or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its
environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or
provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.
Instructions for lead agencies
Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the
existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist
is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate
threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the
completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals
For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts
of sections A and B, plus the Supplemental Sheet for Nonproject Actions (Part D). Please completely answer all
questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as
"proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non-
projects) questions in “Part B: Environmental Elements” that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of
the proposal.

Do not use this section for project actions.
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with
the list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities
likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate
than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air;
production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of
noise?
Residential uses do not generate discharges to water; emissions to air; production, storage,
or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise.
• Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
The absence of said discharges eliminates the need for mitigation measures.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
In no way is the proposal likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life.

(WAC 197-11-960)
• Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
Mitigations are not warranted.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
In no way with the development deplete energy or natural resources.
• Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
Mitigations are not warranted.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or
areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection, such as
parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat,
historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
In no way is the proposal likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas
designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection, such as parks,
wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or
cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
• Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
Mitigations are not warranted.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it
would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
The site is about a half of a mile from the nearest shoreline. Shorelines will not be affected.
• Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
Mitigations are not warranted.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities?
A residential development will introduce additional passenger vehicle trips to the adjoining
roadway(s). Some residents may use public transportation. A development will draw from
the City potable water system and discharge effluent to the sanitary sewer system. The
development will draw electricity from the power grid administered by Franklin PUD.
Quantities of each cannot be reasonably quantified absent a specific development proposal.
The outcome of this rezone application will affect the development parameters.
• Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
Washington State imposes stringent building energy code (WSEC) requirements to
force high thermal efficiencies. Traffic improvements may be necessary.
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws
or requirements for the protection of the environment.
The site is not subject to unique environmental protection requirements such as critical
areas. Civil and architectural design will ensure compliance will all applicable codes (IRC,
IBC, WSEC, ADA, etc.). City permit application review will further ensure code compliance.

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4621, setting 7:00 p.m., Monday
August 18, 2025, as the time and date for a public hearing to consider the
vacation of the eastern three feet of the easement established by Auditor’s File
Number (AFN) 487139, originally granted by the Northern Pacific Railway
Company in Pasco, Washington, and a waiver of the requirements for a title
report, appraisal of value and compensation.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The historical records include a petition dated May 12, 1909, signed by at least
40 householders in Franklin County, Washington, requesting the establishment
of a county road 60 feet in width. This petition, along with an affidavit from
Franklin County Engineer Tim Fife, dated 1996 and accompanying
documentation, is recorded under AFN 530326.
Page 206 of 230
Separately, a consent dated January 19, 1910, from the Northern Pacific
Railway Company—a corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Wisconsin—is recorded under AFN 487139. This document formally authorized
the establishment of a 60-foot-wide road, referred to as Dent Road.
On June 3, 2025, the representative of Big Sky Developers, LLC, the owner of
Parcel Nos. 114330052 and 114330053, identified as Lot 2 and Lot 3 in a
record of survey approved as a plat exemption, submitted a petition to vacate a
portion of an easement originally established in the early 20th century by the
Northern Pacific Railway Company.
At present, the existing easement encroaches approximately 2.5 feet into the
rear yards of residential properties within the Glacier Park/Desert Flats
subdivision. To resolve this and ensure a clear property record going forward,
the petitioners are requesting the vacation of the eastern three feet of the
easement.
Per complete a when 12.40.040, Pasco (PMC) Code Municipal Section
vacation petition is submitted, the Council is required to adopt a resolution
setting a date for a public hearing on the proposed vacation. This hearing must
be scheduled no less than 20 days and no more than 60 days from the date
the the the and vacation initiating passed. The is resolution resolution
resolution setting the hearing may be combined into a single resolution.
V. DISCUSSION:
In evaluating the proposed easement vacation, consideration has been given
to the criteria outlined in PMC Section 12.40.070 (1) through (4).
1. The proposed vacation of the eastern three feet of the easement will not
adversely affect traffic accessibility or circulation in the immediate area
or the City as a whole. The easement in question is not developed as a
public road and does not currently support vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
2. The portion of the easement proposed for vacation is not contemplated
for future public use. There are no planned infrastructure projects or
public access needs that necessitate retention of this segment of the
easement. The future right-of-way alignment for Convention Drive—
classified as a collector in the City’s Transportation System Plan—
provides an 80-foot-wide corridor, which is sufficient to accommodate all
foreseeable public purposes in this location.
3. becoming property abutting any in vacation not will The result
landlocked, nor will it substantially impair access. All affected properties
will have legal and physical access via public streets.
4. The public need will not be adversely affected by the proposed vacation.
Page 207 of 230
Rather, the vacation will provide a public benefit by clarifying property
boundaries and eliminating a technical encroachment into private rear
yards. This action supports orderly land records and promotes clear title
for affected homeowners.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Resolution setting 7:00
p.m., Monday, August 18, 2025, as the time and date for a public hearing to
consider the vacation request.

RESOLUTION NO. _______
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON
SETTING 7:00 PM, AUGUST 18, 2025, AS THE TIME AND DATE FOR A
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE VACATION OF THE EASTERN
THREE FEET OF THE EASEMENT ESTABLISHED BY AUDITOR’S FILE
NUMBER 487139, ORIGINALLY GRANTED BY THE NORTHERN PACIFIC
RAILWAY COMPANY..
WHEREAS, from time to time in response to petitions or in cases where it serves the
general interest of the City of Pasco, the City Council may vacate easements relating to street,
pedestrian, or travel purposes; and
WHEREAS, a petition for vacation of the eastern three feet of the easement established
by Auditor’s File Number 487139, originally granted by the Northern Pacific Railway Company
by owners of two-thirds of the property underlying the portion of the easement to be vacated has
been submitted to the City; and
WHEREAS, the vacation process, by petition application, provided in the Pasco
Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter 12.40 requires a survey, title report, an appraisal of value, and
compensation unless waived by City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City may waive the requirements for a survey pursuant to PMC Section
12.40.110 if the location and legal description of the street or alley proposed for vacation is
sufficiently known to the City such that an accurate legal description can be determined with

of-way to be vacated was previously determined by Council not to be essential to public traffic
circulation and is available for vacation; the grant of a substitute right-of-way has value as a right-
of-way at least equal to the right-of-way to be vacated; or the resulting benefit to the community
of the project requiring vacation outweighs the appraised value of the right-of-way to be vacated;
and
WHEREAS, the City staff is requesting that Council make a determination concerning
whether to waive the requirements of a title report, appraisal of value, and compensation pursuant
to PMC 12.40.120(2) after holding a public hearing; and

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council July 3, 2025
TO: Dave Zabell, Interim City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 7/7/25
FROM: Sara Matzen, Human Resources Director
Human Resources
SUBJECT: City Manager Finalist Interview Process (3 minute staff presentation)
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Motion Option A: I move to approve option A for the City Manager finalist
interview process.
Motion Option B: I move to approve option B for the City Manager finalist
interview process.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City Manager position became vacant in February 2025. The City engaged
GMP Consultants to provide interim City Manager services, Dave Zabell has
been serving in this capacity since February.
The City Council subsequently selected GMP Consultants to assist in the
search for the next City Manager. Recruitment efforts have since been
underway. The recruitment generated strong interest with a highly qualified
pool of candidates. GMP Consultants conducted an extensive search that
included national advertising, direct outreach, and screening of candidates
based on qualifications and alignment with City Council priorities.
was consultants, the by A including screening, preliminary interviews
completed. Council met in Executive Session on June 23, 2025, to review
candidate materials and discuss qualifications.
At the June 30, 2025, Special Meeting, the City Council selected Harold
Steward, Eric Swanson, and David Stockdale as finalists for the City Manager
Page 227 of 230
position and directed staff and GMP Consultants to bring forward
recommendations on final steps for the process.
V. DISCUSSION:
During the June 30 Special Meeting staff and the GMP Consulting Team
reviewed among other things with Council the candidate interview process.
Unfortunately, there appears to be some ambiguity as to whether Council
preferred two or three interview panels.
On the advice of the City Attorney, staff is bringing this item back under Old
Business to allow Council to provide clarity on the question. The two options
are as follows:
Option A, two panels; Panel 1 – City Council, Panel 2 - Senior Staff.
Option B, three panels, Panel 1 – City Council, Panel 2 - Directors,
Panel 3 - Stakeholder group.
If Option B is selected, Council would need to provide direction on the selection
of stakeholders.
It is worth noting that the public along with all stakeholders will be invited to the
Candidate Reception the City is hosting on June 13, 2025, the evening prior to
the panel interviews.
Staff seeks Council discussion and direction by motion to support coordination
of finalist interviews.
