WAY BETWEEN ROAD 103 AND BROADMOOR BOULEVARD, WITHIN

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 rights-of-way; and
WHEREAS, a petition for the vacation of Harris Road right-of-way between Road 103

pursuant to Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) 12.40.020 (1); and
WHEREAS, the vacation process, by petition application, provided in the 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
certainty without a survey; and
WHEREAS, Harris Road between Road 103 and Broadmoor Boulevard, within the
Broadmoor Area, is sufficiently known to the City such that a legal description is capable of being
produced without the need for a survey; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to PMC Section 12.40.120, compensation for vacated rights-of-
way, an appraisal and title report may be waived if one or more of the following are applicable:
the vacation is initiated by Council resolution; the vacation is at the request of the City; the right-
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
