to Support Temporary Code Enforcement for Street Vendor Compliance
Ms. Matson presented an ordinance to amend the 2025–2026 biennial operating

concerns related to unpermitted street vendors. Staff explained the request
followed prior Council discussion and responded to increased vendor activity and
enforcement demands.
Staff presented two implementation scenarios consisting of either one or two
temporary code enforcement positions at varying service levels and costs. Staff

or be expanded to support broader citywide code enforcement efforts. Discussion
included staffing capacity, operational effectiveness, prioritization, and long-term
enforcement needs. Staff advised the department could operationally expand
enforcement responsibilities but would require direction on priorities and noted
broader responsibilities could reduce focus on vendor enforcement.
City Attorney Daniel Kenny advised that the ordinance as drafted referenced the
vendor code compliance initiative within the recitals and purpose language. He
explained that if Council wished to expand the temporary positions to broader
code enforcement activities, the motion should include revised language to reflect
general code compliance and the ordinance could be updated accordingly prior to
Page 5 of 7Page 18 of 166

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
The Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF) Irrigation System Farm Upgrades
Project planned of series the current phase fourth the encompasses of
improvements and modifications to the PWRF. This project (informally referred
to as PWRF Improvements Phase 4) will replace existing irrigation system
components nearing their end-of-life, construct new irrigation assets to convey
the pretreated process water to the City-owned land application farm circles,
and extend the system to newly created land application areas from recently
purchased parcels.
The City secured the professional services of RH2 to provide holistic planning,
design and permitting support services for the proposed improvements to
implement the land treatment system expansion consistent with the “Process
Water Reuse Facility Engineering Report”approved by the State of
Washington Department of Ecology on April 12, 2023.
Amendment No. 1 to the PSA addressed various evolving project needs.
These included added Field Investigations and background review, 60 and 90
percent Irrigation Pump Station (IPS) Improvements Designs, and Bid ready
plans and specifications.
Amendment No. 2 to the PSA addressed various evolving project needs.
These included additional analysis and design for pipelines and IPS (Irrigation
Pump Station) design adjustments to reflect the revised site work, additional
distribution system improvements, and updated controls for the system. The
majority consultant during services for amendment the of provides
construction, to assist with engineering services through the duration of project
and assistance during project closeout.
Amendment No. 3 to the PSA addressed the needs for construction and
finalization of the bid documents with the changes to Circles 14 and 16.
As construction needs and further coordination changes/submittals/RFIs for the
project were further refined, the scope of the project was subject to revisions
and adjustments. The proposed amendment will provide the additional
construction support that is needed for coordinating with the County and the
Contractor.
Impact
The proposed upgrades will provide the distribution and irrigation infrastructure
needed to increase PWRF operations and meet the State Waste Discharge
Page 24 of 166
Permit for the next season. The upgrades needed and the addition of two
irrigation fields allows PWRF to not only meet the State Waste Discharge
Permit but also allow for a more robust irrigation for the added processor
capacity to PWRF.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation
This item was presented to Council May 26, 2026, Workshop as a discussion
item.
Staff has reviewed and recommends approval of Amendment No. 4 to the PSA
with RH2 Engineering in the amount of $54,303.00 for the PWRF - Phase 4
Irrigation System Farm Upgrades project.
The proposed Amendment No. 4 to RH2 Professional services agreement
addresses the additional work needed for construction completion. The
proposed amendment will provide the additional construction support that is
needed for coordinating with the County and the Contractor. The amendment
also adds additional consultant services during construction, as there have
been high amount of submittals, RFIs, and construction coordination.
Constraints
Construction of this project has been planned to minimize interruptions and/or
impacts to PWRF Farm Operations and must be completed on schedule.
Projected 2026 flows at PWRF will necessitate the additional land treatment
area.
Next Steps
Provided the Council approves the amendment, staff will work with the
consultant to complete all necessary contractual documentation in the
upcoming weeks.
Alternatives
Council may choose to reject the amendment. This is not recommended
since the additional construction support is needed to ensure
construction deadlines are met.
The timeline associated with this alternative action would hinder expansion of
the land treatment system and therefore fail to comply with the parameters
established for the facility under the State Waste Discharge Permit for PWRF;
likely resulting in violation of the permit and/or limiting industries from sending
flows to the facility which has, in turn, a negative economic impact to the
industries and the utility.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background:
On January 5, 2024, the city entered into a Professional Services Agreement
(PSA) with Jacobs for the Butterfield WTP electrical system upgrade predesign
services. Overall tasks included the following:
Condition assessment of the existing electrical service and backup
power generator, the intake screens, raw water pump and ancillary
chemical feed systems.
30% preliminary design package for the electrical system upgrades
including a new electrical building and new electrical equipment and
standby power to supply existing and future facilities.
A project definition evaluation to identify treatment process objectives.
Development of a project implementation and phasing approach and
preliminary site plan.
Funding strategy assistance to identify potential funding alternatives to
design and construct the future improvements.
An amendment to the Butterfield WTP Facility Plan issued in 2023 provided
additional recommendations for remediation with respect to cyanotoxins and
aquatic plant (milfoil) growth present in the Columbia River during the
seasonally warmer months. These recommendations led to an alternate
sequence of phased replacement of the Butterfield WTP that prioritizes
meeting new water quality and facility operational challenges caused by
climate change.
Several amendments have been executed since the initial PSA. They are
described below:
Amendment No. 1 scope included completion of construction bid documents
previously initiated by in-house City engineering staff for the installation of a
Page 34 of 166
precast concrete permanganate injection vault located at the 36-inch raw water
inlet piping downstream of the raw water pump station. This work also included
relocation of the chemical storage and feed pump system and instrumentation,
and installation of pipe tapping saddles, chemical piping, and chemical injection
equipment. Amendment No. 1 was approved September 12, 2024, by the City
Manager.
Amendment No. 2 scope added $1,173,300.00 for 90% design services for the
Raw funding Improvements Electrical project, Station Pump Water and
application support, and a geotechnical investigation of the existing Butterfield
site. Amendment No. 2 was approved by City Council October 28, 2024.
Amendment No. 3 was a no cost amendment that shifted funds within the PSA
to provide additional design and services during bidding for the Raw Water
Permanganate System project and additional geotechnical support due to
unforeseen soil conditions at Butterfield WTP. Amendment 3 was approved by
the Public Works Director on April 7, 2025.
Amendment No. 4 was a no cost amendment that shifted funds within the PSA
to provide additional design and construction services for the Raw Water
Permanganate System project, as well as additional design scope for the Raw
Water Pump Station and Electrical Improvements project, and an evaluation of
building a new Butterfield WTP on a greenfield site. Amendment 4 was
approved by the Public Works Director on October 30, 2025.
Amendment No. 5 was a no cost amendment that shifted funds within the PSA
to provide additional design scope for the Raw Water Pump Station and
Electrical Improvements project. Scope included evaluations of alternatives for
the raw water pump station HVAC system, driveway, and diver access with the

Department of Health (DOH).
Procurement of pilot system.
Pilot installation bid drawings and specifications
Operations of pilot system.
Analysis of pilot data and development of pilot test results report.
A pilot test includes a small-scale replica that mimics the treatment process for
a large-scale Water Treatment Plant. For this project, a pilot test will be
designed and built according to the planned treatment process for the new
Butterfield WTP. Pilot testing is required by the DOH to design new filters at
loading rates greater than 6 gallons per minute per square foot (GPM/Ft). The
pilot study will consist of running all 4 seasons for 4-6 weeks duration each
season.
3. Butterfield WTP Implementation Plan modifications for greenfield
site
Revised site plan, including a project definition meeting
Revised implementation plan, including an updated cost estimate and
funding analysis
Revised hydraulic profile and evaluation of existing and proposed raw
water pumps
The Butterfield Implementation Plan serves as a big picture of the path forward
on the Butterfield WTP Improvements project. Recently, a greenfield location
has been chosen to build the new Butterfield WTP plant. The new location is
Page 36 of 166
located near the existing drying beds and Raw Water Pump Station (South of
the S 12th Ave and W Washington St intersection). Placing a new Butterfield
WTP on a greenfield site will allow for the uninterrupted operation of Butterfield
while a new plant is being constructed. The existing Implementation plan will
need to be revised to reflect the change in location, and to evaluate the existing
infrastructure at the raw water pump station. This evaluation will determine if
different pumps/materials will be needed due to the change in WTP location.
Impact (other than fiscal):
This project addresses the replacement of the Butterfield Water Treatment
Plant (WTP). The Butterfield WTP has served the City of Pasco since 1946 and
is nearing the end of its useful life. Without improvements, the city will risk the
safe delivery of treated water to all of its residents. Once complete, Butterfield
is anticipated to reliably deliver 30 million gallons of treated water per day to
the residents of Pasco.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation:
This item was presented to Council at the May 26th, 2026 Workshop as a
discussion item.
Staff has negotiated the amendment scope and fee and found it to be
reasonable. Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 6 to the PSA with
Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. in the amount of $2,020,000 for the Butterfield
Water Treatment Plant Improvements Project.
Constraints:
The Butterfield WTP is critical to the overall water system. Its reliability is key
for the delivery of treated water to the residents of Pasco. Butterfield WTP is
nearing the end of its useful life and is in need of replacement. The proposed
improvements the begin will and the plant reliability the extend will of
groundwork for the future replacement of the entire WTP.
Next Steps:
If approved by City Council, Jacobs will complete the design for the Raw Water
Pump Station and Electrical Improvements project, as well as begin the pilot
testing to Butterfield the revisions treatment and technology for make
Implementation Plan, reflecting the greenfield site and funding strategy
consistent with approved rates. Construction for the Raw Water Pump Station
and Electrical Improvements project is anticipated to begin at the end of 2026.
The pilot testing will begin by fall of 2026 and will run until fall of 2027.
Alternatives:
If Amendment 6 is not approved, the overall replacement project will be
postponed and a need to re-evaluate the improvements to the Butterfield WTP
Page 37 of 166
project will be necessary. This option accepts increased risk in the potential
failure of the plant prior to replacement.

2. Early Works Design Phase Modifications
2.1 RWPS Driveway Stabilization (Overall Task 8E)
Following the 30% Design Workshop and site visit in June 2025, it was identified that the existing ecology
blocks lining the sides of the driveway have started to erode away. Following the workshop, Jacobs
completed an alternatives evaluation to look at short-term and long-term options to stabilize the driveway
and provide support to the security fence installation along the driveway. Results and a recommendation
were shared with the City at the 60% Design Workshop in September 2025, including driveway stabilization
using grade beams and walls along the edge of the driveway to replace the ecology blocks as a bid
alternative to the Early Works project. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) was completed in February 2026 to
verify the location and depths of the raw water pipes along the driveway.

This amendment includes detailed design of the driveway stabilization developing 90% and final (100%
complete) design documents consisting of technical specifications and drawings. It includes a 2-day site visit
for a civil engineer to verify site conditions for the final design.
City will provide review comments for each design milestone in a Bluebeam Revu Studio Session coordinated
by Consultant. City will internally adjudicate its review comments to provide clear direction for Consultant.
Consultant will provide a written response within the Bluebeam Revu Studio Session to each written review
comment provided by City and incorporate the comments into the subsequent design documents
accordingly.
Assumptions:
· Additional works included in this amendment will be bid as part of the Early Works Project
construction contract.
· Results of GPR utility locate will be used for driveway stabilization design and must be completed
prior to finalization the design of the driveway.
· Level of effort is based on the addition of two (2) drawings:
o Civil Site Plan
o Structural Details
2.2 RWPS HVAC Design (Overall Task 8F)
During the 60% Design Workshop in September 2025, the City noted that there are issues with control
panels overheating in the RWPS due to a lack of ventilation. Two larger pump motors will be designed as
part of the raw water pump replacement in Early Works base scope. These larger motors will generate more
heat and any existing ventilation issues within the RWPS can worsen. An evaluation of HVAC requirements
will be performed as part of Amendment 5. Following this evaluation, the City will decide on an alternative
to carry forward to detailed design.
Consultant will complete a detailed design of the selected HVAC system by developing 90% and final
(100% complete) design documents. The completed design documents will consist of technical
specifications and drawings.
City will provide review comments for each design milestone in a Bluebeam Revu Studio Session coordinated
by Consultant. City will internally adjudicate its review comments to provide clear direction for Consultant.
Consultant will provide a written response within the Bluebeam Revu Studio Session to each written review
comment provided by City and incorporate the comments into the subsequent design documents
accordingly.
Assumptions:
· Additional works included in this amendment will be bid as part of the Early Works Project
construction contract.
· Level of effort is based on the addition of specification sections determined once alternative is
selected, and three (3) HVAC drawings:
o General Sheet
Page 45 of 166
Butterfield WTP Improvements Scope of Work
6
o Plan and Air Flow Schematics
o Sections and Details
2.3 Transformer and Levee Conduit Design (Overall Task 8G)
A National Energy Code (NEC) analysis completed by Jacobs suggests that the RWPS is currently
overloaded. During initial coordination with Franklin PUD on the RWPS improvements, PUD indicated that
they’re at capacity with existing transformers and a new pad-mounted transformer is required to provide the
increased power capacity to the RWPS. Further investigation by Jacobs and the City showed that the existing
conduits between the current transformer and RWPS are not large enough for additional lines to be added. A
new conduit will need to be routed between the new pad-mounted transformer by PUD to the RWPS. It is
assumed that the transformer pad and conduit construction will require USACE, rather than railroad (BNSF)
coordination. Coordination with Franklin PUD and USACE regarding the details of transformer placement
and permitting/easement requirements for electrical conduit through the existing levee, respectively, will
occur as part of Amendment 5.
Consultant will complete a detailed design of the project by developing 90% and final (100% complete)
design documents. The completed design documents will consist of a technical specification for the
transformer and associated drawings.
City will provide review comments for each design milestone in a Bluebeam Revu Studio Session coordinated
by Consultant. City will internally adjudicate its review comments to provide clear direction for Consultant.
Consultant will provide a written response within the Bluebeam Revu Studio Session to each written review
comment provided by City and incorporate the comments into the subsequent design documents
accordingly.
Assumptions:
· Additional works included in this amendment will be bid as part of the Early Works Project
construction contract.
· City will coordinate with Franklin PUD on transformer location.
· Construction area is within USACE property. No coordination with BNSF is required.
· Level of effort is based on the addition of two (2) electrical drawings:
o Electrical Site Plan
o Site Plan Details
2.4 Early Works Phase Final Design (100% Design) (Overall Task 8)
A Management Reserve was established as part of Amendment 2, intended to be used for Early Works Phase
final design (100% design). Amendment 6 includes approval for the use of these Management Reserve
funds for the Early Works 100% complete submittal. The use of the 100% design budget in management
reserve was contingent on receiving construction funding for the Early Works project. In January 2026, the
City approved the $14.7M Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) loan to fund the Early Works
construction.
Consultant will prepare a 100% complete submittal of the design, including front end specifications and an
Engineers Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (EOPCC). Consultant will incorporate City’s and agency
Page 46 of 166
Butterfield WTP Improvements Scope of Work
7
review comments from the 90% submittal into the 100% complete design submittal. The 100% complete
submittal will be used to bid the construction contract. The Draft 100-percent complete design package
review comments will be discussed at a subsequent project manager check-in call, as needed. No meetings
to review or discuss the Final 100-percent complete design package are planned or budgeted. Design
changes that impact the cost estimate are not anticipated after 90% design, but the estimate will be
updated based on the 100% design if needed.
Consultant will submit electronically stamped 100-percent-complete contract documents submittal in
Unlocked PDF and CAD format for use by the City for bidding the construction contract. PDF drawings will be
half-size, 11”x17”. A total of 73 drawings will be included in the contract set as shown in the table below.

3. Pilot Study (Overall Task 15)
The Washington Department of Health (DOH) requires pilot testing to design new filters at loading rates
greater than 6 gallons per minute per square feet (gpm/sf). Filters designed with higher loadings rates
reduce overall footprint and construction costs, as more flow can be pushed through a filter. The pilot study
will include ozonation, rapid mix, coagulation/flocculation, and filtration treatment processes to mimic the
new process. The results of the pilot study will be used to establish ozone demand/decay for ozone system
design criteria, evaluate optimal coagulant dose for chemical building sizing, confirm a shortened
flocculation hydraulic residence time (HRT), and confirm an increased filter loading rate (FLR) to reduce
construction costs. The results will also inform chlorine demand post-treatment for on-site hypochlorite
generation sizing and confirm disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation potential.

4.4 Revised Hydraulic Profile
Consultant will conduct a hydraulics evaluation to confirm impact of building on the greenfield site on the
raw water pump station capacity. The evaluation will include whether the existing pumps can achieve the
firm capacity of 30 mgd at the greenfield site using the existing design condition of the raw water pumps.
This study will utilize the pump hydraulic model built as part of the early works design. This study will
evaluate the need for the City to upgrade pumps 6 and 7 under Early Works to achieve the higher total
dynamic head (TDH) that is needed to each convey 10 mgd to the existing Butterfield WTP, which has a
grade elevation that is about 14-feet higher than the greenfield site. Pump replacement recommendation
will include consideration of modernization and maintenance schedule on aging infrastructure.
Deliverables
· Revisions to the Raw Water Pump Station Capacity and Hydraulics Evaluation Technical Memo
prepared under Early Works design.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
Winter 2 Phase (PWRF) Storage Reuse Water Process The Facility
Improvements project began with the City of Pasco entering into a Professional
Services Agreement (PSA) with RH2 Engineering, Inc. in August 2021 to
design 200 million gallons of winter storage ponds. The scope later expanded
to over 300 million gallons to accommodate existing processors' future growth,
prompting multiple contract amendments for environmental permitting, land
acquisition, agencies. regulatory state and federal coordination and with
Amendments 1 through 6 addressed needs ranging from NEPA compliance to
dam safety requirements, and extended construction support through 2025.
The project is being fully funded through a State Revolving Fund (SRF) low-
interest loan administered by the Washington State Department of Ecology and
authorized under Resolution No. 4425. As a Designated Equivalency Project
(DEP), it is subject to federal requirements for labor documentation, reporting,
and complexity project to of adding verification, payroll contractor layers
oversight and coordination.
Prior amendments to the PSA (1 through 8) addressed various evolving project
needs. These included added environmental permitting for land acquisition
(Amendment 1), preparation of an Environmental Site Assessment required by
the US Bureau of Reclamation (Amendment 2), additional permitting to comply
with federal funding and NEPA requirements for an expanded disposal site
(Amendment 3), and engineering services to address Dam Safety regulations
and coordination with other ongoing construction phases (Amendment 4).
Amendments 5 and 6 provided for extended construction support services,
contract Amendment 6 compliance, with and administration, regulatory
extending RH2's services through the end of 2025 without a change in scope
or cost. Amendment 7 includes additional construction administration, onsite
inspections, and expanded coordination responsibilities to ensure regulatory
compliance. It also provides engineering support for well drilling operations and
additional startup coordination with Burnham accommodating the PRRC
timeline. Amendment 8 extending RH2's services through the end of 2026
without a change in scope or cost.
Impact
The proposed amendment addresses multiple concerns that came up during
construction, which included multiple return visits to address evolving punchlist
items identified during final inspections, many of which required review of
corrective actions, coordination with the contractor, and documentation for
acceptance.
V. DISCUSSION:

Scope of Work
Amendment No. 9
City of Pasco
Process Water Reuse Facility Improvements
Winter Storage
April 2026
Background
The City of Pasco (City) has requested that RH2 Engineering, Inc., (RH2) perform additional tasks
beyond the original scope of work for services during construction. Additional on-site observation
time was required to support project closeout and confirm that the system is functioning as intended.
This effort has included multiple return visits to address evolving punch list items identified during
final inspections, many of which required review of corrective actions, coordination with the
contractor, and documentation for acceptance. Project completion is anticipated for June 1, 2026.
Furthermore, installation of a reticulation line as part of Process Water Reuse Facility Pretreatment
Improvements Phase 2: Winter Storage enabled the irrigation pump station (IPS) wet well to be
drained, allowing RH2 to enter the structure and perform a detailed condition assessment to
evaluate potential corrosion associated with sodium hypochlorite exposure and to develop
appropriate replacement recommendations.
Task 8 – Services During Construction (Regular)
Objective: Provide additional construction-phase services to support project closeout and provide
additional on-site observation of corrosion-related issues at the IPS for reliable system performance
and long-term integrity.
Approach:
Provide additional on-site observation and construction-phase services from January 1, 2026,
through June 1, 2026, to support project closeout, including addressing civil and mechanical
punchlist items, reviewing corrective actions, coordinating with the contractor, and
supporting system testing. CSNW will support this effort by performing these same tasks for
electrical and control items.
Provide additional condition assessment related to corrosion within the IPS well and prepare
an amendment to the IPS Corrosion Investigation Technical Memorandum prepared by RH2.
Provide the updated technical memorandum to the City for review and comment and finalize
the amended technical memorandum.

Funding for this project was provided by Surface Transportation Block Group
(Federal Grant), Transportation Alternatives Program (Federal Grant), Highway
Page 69 of 166
Infrastructure Program (Federal Grant), and City of Pasco.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
The Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements Phase 2 Project was initially scoped
to provide upgrades to 32 signal systems at intersections throughout the city.
Due to grant funding availability the project was divided into three phases:
- Phase 1 is complete and included 11 intersections.
- Phase 2 (this project) included 15 intersections.
- The Phase 3 project, which still requires funding, will include the final 6
intersections.
Bidding in October 2021 found the bids showing a funding shortfall. After City
worked with the Washington Department of Transportation, Phase 2 was
reduced from 15 intersections to 11 intersections. This removed the Sandifur
Pkwy/ Broadmoor Intersection which was planned as part of another project
and 3 intersections that were bid as additive bids to the base bid of the project.
Signal Traffic Citywide the awarded Council 2022, 12, September On
Improvements Phase 2 project to Apollo, Inc of Pasco, WA in the base bid
amount $4,313,512.00 via Resolution No. 4247; approximately 22% higher the
Engineer's Estimate for the base bid ($3,526,096.00).
Since construction began, the project required ten (10) Change Orders and
project closeout reconciliation resulting into a final construction contract cost of
$4,769,997.83.
Impact (other than Fiscal)
The completion of the project moves forward the goal to improve traffic signals
citywide and improve the safety and connectivity of these intersections.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Resolution accepting the work
performed by Apollo, Inc for the Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements Phase 2
project.
Constraints (Time or other considerations)
Formal acceptance of public works projects is required by State law and starts
the 45-day period within which an outside vendor, supplier or laborer would
Page 70 of 166

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council May 22, 2026
TO: Harold Stewart, City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 6/1/26
FROM: Harold Stewart, City Manager
City Manager
SUBJECT: *Public Hearing - Essential Public Facilities (EPF), Secure Community
Transition Facilities (SCTFs), and Less Restrictive Alternative (LRA)
Housing Code Update
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
01 Draft Regulations for Input
02 Map – Where Can these Facilities Go?

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
A public hearing is scheduled for June 1, 2026 to receive public input on the
proposed draft code amendments (Attachment 01). A City Council workshop is
scheduled for June 22, 2026 to review the draft ordinance to receive additional
feedback prior to a second public hearing and potential action scheduled for
July 6, 2026.
Staff is requesting policy direction from City Council regarding the proposed
Essential Public Facilities (EPF) and Less Restrictive Alternative (LRA) housing
regulations. Direction provided by Council will assist staff in finalizing the
proposed ordinance, refining siting and safety standards, and preparing the
code amendments for future public hearing and adoption consideration.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Not applicable at this time.
Implementation of the proposed regulations may require additional
administrative review time and coordination between departments; however, no
direct fiscal impacts are anticipated currently.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Page 81 of 166
The City of Pasco previously adopted a temporary moratorium (Attachment 03
– Ordinance 4817) on applications related to Essential Public Facilities (EPFs),
including Less Restrictive Alternatives (LRAs) and Secure Community
Transition Facilities (SCTFs), in response to growing public concern and the
lack of specific local regulations addressing these uses. The moratorium
expires on August 17, 2026, and the proposed code must be adopted prior to
this date.
Under the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA), cities are
required to plan for and allow Essential Public Facilities. State law limits the
City’s ability to prohibit these facilities outright, but allows cities to establish
land use regulations, siting criteria, development standards, and permit review
processes.
The City initiated a review of local regulations to determine what zoning, siting,
and public safety measures may legally and practically be applied to these
facilities and Public law. state outreach compliant remaining while with
informational sessions were conducted between March and May 2026 to
gather the community feedback and educate residents regarding City’s
authority and limitations under state law.
The draft ordinance establishes a new Chapter 25.157 PMC related to
Essential Public Facilities. The ordinance includes:
Definitions for EPFs, LRAs, SCTFs, and Risk Potential
Activities/Facilities;
A formal permit application and review process;
Hearing Examiner review authority;
Decision criteria and burden of proof requirements;
Siting and separation requirements;
Additional review standards for Less Restrictive Alternatives and Secure
Community Transition Facilities.
Background
State law identifies certain facilities as Essential Public Facilities because they
are necessary public-serving uses that are often difficult to site due to public
opposition include can facilities airports, impacts. perceived or These
correctional facilities, solid waste facilities, inpatient treatment facilities, and
certain housing or treatment-related facilities.
Less for placements court-ordered individuals Alternatives Restrictive are
transitioning from confinement into supervised housing and treatment settings.
Secure provide Community Transition Facilities are a type of LRA that
supervised housing, treatment, and security measures for certain civilly
committed individuals.
Page 82 of 166
The City’s current code does not establish a dedicated review process or clear
siting standards for these facilities. Staff identified this as a significant
regulatory gap, particularly given increased public attention and evolving state
requirements. The proposed ordinance is intended to provide a clear, legally
defensible framework for reviewing future EPF applications while maintaining
local review authority to the maximum extent permitted under state law.
The proposed regulations require EPFs to undergo a conditional use permit
review process and establish additional review criteria specific to LRAs and
SCTFs. The draft ordinance also proposes:
700-foot separation requirements from identified Risk Potential Activities
and Facilities (described in greater detail below under the section titled
“Siting Facilities in Pasco – Where Can These Facilities Be Located?”);
Evaluation of alternative sites;
Demonstration of compliance with Department of Social and Health
Services requirements;
Additional public safety mitigation measures where necessary.
Impact (other than fiscal)
The proposed code amendments may have significant impacts related to public
safety, neighborhood compatibility, public perception, and future land use
administration.
The regulations are intended to:
Improve predictability and transparency in the permit review process;
Provide objective review criteria for future applications;
Establish local siting and mitigation standards;
Ensure public participation during permit review;
Balance public safety concerns with the City’s obligations under state
law.
The outreach process demonstrated substantial public interest regarding:
Separation distances from schools and parks;
Community safety;
Notification and public involvement;
Long-term compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods.
At the same time, staff must ensure that any adopted regulations do not
effectively prohibit the siting of EPFs within the City, as state law requires cities
to allow these facilities somewhere within city limits.
V. DISCUSSION:
Page 83 of 166
The proposed ordinance attempts to balance local control, public safety
concerns, and compliance with state law requirements.
The ordinance establishes a new permitting framework under Chapter 25.157
PMC that would apply to listed Essential Public Facilities as well as future
facilities determined by the Community and Economic Development Director to
meet EPF criteria.
Applications would be reviewed through a consolidated conditional use permit
and EPF review process before the Hearing Examiner. The Hearing Examiner
would have authority to:
Approve;
Approve with conditions; or
Deny applications based on adopted decision criteria.
Key components of the draft ordinance include:
Demonstration of facility need;
Evaluation of surrounding land uses;
Mitigation of adverse impacts;
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan;
Compliance with state operational and siting requirements;
Consideration of alternative sites farther removed from Risk Potential
Activities and Facilities.
The proposed LRA standards also establish:
Additional application requirements;
Compliance verification with DSHS requirements;
Bed increase limitations;
Enhanced mitigation authority for the Hearing Examiner;
Separation and line-of-sight limitations from Risk Potential Activities and
Facilities.
Siting Facilities in Pasco – Where can these facilities be located?
A major policy consideration is determining how restrictive local regulations can
be without effectively prohibiting the siting of these facilities within Pasco. Legal
review has indicated that cities may impose reasonable siting and mitigation
standards, so long as those standards do not make siting impossible. As the
City continues to grow and develop, another important consideration is that the
proposed buffers may need to be periodically reviewed and adjusted over time
to ensure there remains a reasonable ability to accommodate these facilities
somewhere within the community. Additional policy considerations include
whether modified buffer distances, operational standards, security measures,
or public notification requirements should be included prior to adoption of the
regulations.
Attachment 02 is a map intended to provide a visual example of how the
Page 84 of 166
proposed 700-foot buffer from Risk Potential Activities (RPAs) may apply
throughout the City. However, the map is only a snapshot in time and should
not be interpreted as permanently identifying or limiting where an LRA or SCTF
could or could not locate.
Under the proposed code, the buffer applies dynamically as Risk Potential
Activities and Facilities are established over time. This means that when a new
school, daycare, park, trail, religious facility, recreational facility, or other
identified RPA use is developed, the required separation distance would
automatically apply to future LRA or SCTF proposals. Similarly, if an LRA or
SCTF is lawfully established first, later development proposals for Risk
Potential Activities or Facilities would need to consider the existing facility and
applicable regulations at that time.
Large portions of the areas currently shown outside the mapped buffer are
primarily undeveloped areas, including portions of Broadmoor and the north
and eastern areas of Pasco. As future development occurs in those areas and
additional RPA uses are established, the mapped buffer areas would also
expand accordingly.
Over time, continued development throughout the City may also require the
City to periodically reassess the appropriateness and feasibility of the
separation distances to ensure the regulations continue to balance public
safety, community compatibility, legal requirements, and the practical ability to
site required facilities.
In simple terms, the map is not intended to permanently designate “approved”
or “available” sites. Instead, it demonstrates how the proposed separation
requirements function based on existing conditions, while recognizing that both
development patterns and buffer areas will continue to change over time as the
City grows.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council provide policy direction regarding:
1. Proposed separation and siting standards;
2. The overall level of regulatory restriction desired;
3. Additional public safety or operational considerations;
4. The proposed Hearing Examiner review process;
5. Whether additional outreach or modifications should occur prior to
scheduling formal adoption hearings.
Staff further recommends continuing legal review of the ordinance to ensure
consistency with state law and Growth Management Act requirements.
Constraints (time or other considerations)
The City’s moratorium timeline creates a limited window for development and
adoption of the regulations. Failure to adopt a clear review framework may
Page 85 of 166
leave the City without locally tailored standards for future EPF applications.
At the same time, regulations that are overly restrictive could create legal risk if
they Public Essential of the siting effectively to determined are prohibit
Facilities within the City.
Additional coordination state with and public review, legal outreach,
requirements may still result in revisions to the proposed ordinance prior to
final adoption consideration.
Next Steps
Staff will:
1. Incorporate feedback received from Council and the public;
2. Refine proposed siting and review standards as needed;
3. July revised draft the with 6 and Return June on Council to 22
regulations and public hearing materials;
Alternatively, Council May:
1. Direct staff to proceed with the ordinance substantially as drafted;
2. Direct staff to revise or expand proposed siting and mitigation standards;
3. to prior outreach public Direct conduct to staff formal additional
hearings;
