Chairman Cruz asked if any Commission member had anything to declare. There were no declarations. Chairman Cruz then asked the audience if there were any objections based on conflict of interest or appearance of fairness questions regarding any of the items to be discussed this evening. There were no declarations. ADMINISTERING THE OATH: Chairman Cruz explained that State law requires testimony in quasi-judicial hearings such as held by the Planning Commission be given under oath or affirmation. Chairman Cruz swore in all those desiring to speak. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Anderson moved to adopt the May 19, 2011 minutes. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hay. The motion passed unanimously. OLD BUSINESS: A. Plan Ridges to Rivers Open Space Network Vision Plan (MF# PLAN2011-003) -1 - Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, stated the Planning Commission considered the RROSN vision plan twice and Mr. Woodward gave a PowerPoint presentation. Following the presentation each individual policy recommendation in the Plan was reviewed by the Commission. It was also pointed out the City Council heard the presentation earlier and directed the Planning Commission to examine the plan and provide a recommendation on the policies which stood the best chance of benefitting the Pasco community. The staff report reflects the Commissions sentiment which was arrived at the last meeting. Commissioner Kahn moved, seconded by Commissioner Levin, that the Planning Commission recommend City Council support the recommendations identified in the June 16, 2011 staff memo for the Rivers to Ridges Open Space Network Vision Plan. The motion passed unanimously. NEW BUSINESS: A. Preliminary Plat Preliminary Plat approval for Columbia Villas, a 100-lot subdivision located at the northwest corner of Sandifur Parkway and Road 76 (Big Creek Land Company) (MF# PP 2011-002) Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Dave McDonald, City Planner, explained the application consisted of a proposal for a multi-family Plat containing of 100-lots. The purpose of the hearing was to review the proposed Plat and not to determine whether the site was an appropriate location for multi-family development. That determination was made in 2003 when the zoning was established. Mr. McDonald reviewed the written report for the benefit of the Planning Commission and discussed the finding requirements of RCW 5817.010. By law the Planning Commission is required to make findings that the proposed plat provides for public facilities, utilities, streets, parks, sidewalks, safe travel, school grounds and schools. State law requires the Planning Commission to review schools and other public facilities to make a recommendation on a Plat. In response to the project SEPA Checklist the School District indicated the District lacks the capacity to accommodate additional students. The School District's letter dated June 3, 2011 indicated that impact fees address the requirement to assure adequate provisions are made for schools. It was explained the City does not have a School Impact Fee Ordinance to provide the School District with mitigation fees. However RCW 82.02.020 authorizes the School District to enter into -2 - agreements with developers for the purpose of mitigating the impacts of new developments. The recommended plat approval conditions were also reviewed including a condition for the developer to enter into an agreement with the Pasco School District for the payment of impact fees or other numeration as determined by the agreement. Commissioner Kahn asked for clarification of recommended condition Number b dealing with maintenance and upkeep of the fencing. Mr. McDonald discussed the fencing requirements as-well-as explaining that for single-family subdivisions the City normally collects a fee per lot which goes into a City fund to cover the cost of maintaining the boulevard strip. In areas that are not single-family the developer needs to establish a home owners association for the maintenance. Commissioner Greenaway asked if the units would be individually sold. Mr. McDonald directed the question to the applicant. Commissioner Lukins asked what the difference was between an impact fee and a mitigation fee. Mr. White stated for common use it is the same; however an impact is different than mitigation. Mitigation may take one form or another form; an impact fee is a fee. Chairman Cruz asked what types of remuneration are allowed by law. Mr. White stated there are as many as a person can imagine. Extension of utilities is an example of an in-kind mitigation as opposed to a fee. Contribution or purchase of a portable classroom may be an in-kind contribution as opposed to a fee. Dedication of land is another example. Cliff Mort, 6812 Maplewood, Post Falls Idaho, explained his proposed plat and stated that at the moment he was unsure whether the lots would be sold individually. Mr. Mort stated he has been developing for 25 ,years and understands the issues of school overcrowding. The ability for impact fees to be collected is necessary due to the overcrowding of schools. The difficulty for Mr. Mort was that the fees needed to be fair, equitable and reasonable. He stated he had read the School District reports and viewed the website and it appears the problem is being handled for the moment with portables. Mr. Mort stated he believed growth pays its own way through construction of new roads, water/sewer lines, extensions of utilities from offsite, curbs, gutter, and landscaping. Mitigation fees are paid for, parks and traffic at the time of impact. Mr. Mort also stated new construction and development creates jobs in the community. He would be in favor of an overall impact fee versus a fee on a few developers. -3 - Commissioner Anderson asked Mr. Mort if lie had any discussions with the School District. Mr. Mort stated he has made numerous attempts to reach the School District however with no response. Commissioner Anderson mentioned this issue might be able to be taken care of with the School District with an agreement. Mr. Mort stated the School District has an issue and he is willing to help however, he feels it is bigger than his subdivision and a concern is once impact fees start they don't stop. After the school is built the impact fees do not go away. Chairman Cruz asked about the constraints. Mr. White stated the State Law, RCW 82.02.020, has parameters for a timeframe and what the agreements can be used for and by whom. The School District qualifies for use of Voluntary Agreements provided the fees collected by such are used within a certain time; five ,years. The memo provided to the Planning Commission explains the City does not provide essential public services for education, the School District does. The purpose of the Voluntary Agreement is to enable the creator of the impact and the public service provider, the School District, to come to terms on impact mitigation. Chairman Cruz stated some might argue that if a modest impact fee was established earlier we would be taking a different approach and not asking for $6,000 which seems out of hand for stakeholders. In addition the precedent that's established by the Planning Commission in setting these kinds of agreements leaves him in an uncomfortable position this is a policy decision for the City Council and the School District to work out. Mr. White stated the record so far indicates that there is an adverse impact on the school system by this development. He has not ,yet heard anything contrary to that. The obligation of the Planning Commission is to go back to the Findings required by RCW 58.17. If the Planning Commission looks at the record in its entirety and does not agree that the School District has proven there is an adverse impact on the provision of educational facilities by this development then there would not be an obligation for a voluntary agreement. If the record supports the School Districts assertion that there is going to be an adverse impact based on this development then the obligation lies with the provision of a voluntary agreement in this case because there isn't an impact fee ordinance to provide for that mitigation. Commissioner Lukins asked if City Council is discussing an impact fee. -4 - Mr. White stated there is an Impact Fee Ordinance in process however there is a big difference on what the School District is asking for and an Impact Fee Ordinance. Currently mitigation is case by case since there is no Ordinance to fall back on. Chairman Cruz stated that until the Council and the School District come to an agreement the Commission needs to review each case individually. Commissioner Anderson stated they are faced with determining whether there is an impact to the School District as a part of the approval of the Plat, the School District and the developer need to work on an agreement. It is not the up to the Planning Commission to determine the fee. Commissioner Levin stated condition No. 27 should be reworded since it makes the applicant feel boxed. It should state that the applicant is willing to work out a situation with the School District. Commissioner Kahn asked if that means the applicant enters into a dialogue with the School District about providing either in-kind services or an impact fee until the City decides on an Ordinance and Impact Fee. Chairman Cruz stated ,yes, however if the City does not decide on an Ordinance then they will be faced with this question on a case by case basis. Commissioner Lukins stated he negotiates contracts for a living and if they approve this as written then they are giving the School District the stick to hit the contractor and making them negotiate. The School District is saying take it or leave it and he does not have a solution at the moment. Commissioner Greenaway agreed with Commissioner Lukins and feels they are opening a Pandora's box and strong-arming the developers. Commissioner Lukins asked staff on the recourse the School District has if Commission does not go with their recommendation. Mr. White stated there could be an appeal to the City Council and then to the Court system. Commissioner Kahn asked since this is an RCW would the law be in favor of the School District. Mr. White stated the law is in favor of the record and if the record indicates there is an impact to the School system then it is up to the Planning Commissioner to make findings and conditions that mitigate that impact; if the record indicates there are no impacts then the question is moot. -5 - Chairman Cruz stated based on the information provided by there appears to be an impact. The question they are struggling with is how much of an impact is there. Chairman Cruz asked Mr. Mort on what he believes the impact to the School District. Mr. Mort stated his development will contain mostly be single level homes and could have a lot of retired folks similar to the Mediterranean Villas. He does not feel the School District or staff have misrepresented the number of potential students. His concern is that mitigation is only on new development and not new construction. Commissioner Anderson stated the Commission has put the cart before the horse, their charge is to determine if there is or is not an impact on the School District. They have had no testimony from the School District or from residents. Chairman Cruz opened the public hearing. John Morgan, Pasco School District, stated any number of students in this area could attend any of the schools due to the capacity overload. Mr. Morgan stated he has not received calls from developers to discuss this issue. He has met with two other developers over the past three weeks and had good discussions on behalf of the school district. A misnomer is that the District gets more money if more growth comes in. There is no other money coming in. They get what the taxpayers agree to and it doesn't matter how many people move in. The school district is not anti-development, they have one job and that is to educate the students. Since 2000, the school district has grown by 71%. On average 620 students a ,year, a new elementary school each ,year. Commissioner Kempf asked if the site location was in the boundary for Maya Angelou Elementary. Mr. Morgan stated ,yes; the overcrowding will cause sharing of space with Ruth Livingston Elementary. Chairman Cruz asked if the student count for Maya Angeiou is over capacity by 150 students. Mr. Morgan stated the school was over capacity higher than the 150 students. Commissioner Anderson stated the growth in Pasco is not a surprise and in the past asked if there had been any discussion between the School District and the City or County to have an impact fee to mitigate the growth. Mr. Morgan said there were discussions in the past. -6 - Chairman Cruz called for clarification about the discussion. Mr. Morgan stated it was before he was involved in the process. Chairman Cruz asked if there are other forms of mitigation being pursued. Mr. Morgan discussed the Districts efforts to look at open seats in other school districts to share, a multi-track scheduling, year round school scheduling, as well as double shifting. Darcy Buckley, 4110 Road 104 was in favor of an impact fee to help the schools. The double shifting process would cause her to change her education for her children. Dennis Lukin, 1420 S. Quincy Avenue, Kennewick, stated he understands the School Districts increase in population and Pasco has grown a third more than the other cities and property taxes are going up. Chairman Cruz asked for clarification from staff on the property taxes going to the School District. Mr. White stated they are based on a levy and the County could experience a large increase on property values in any given year however the School District will only get what is authorized by the Operating and Maintenance Levy. Any bond voted in by the citizens would also apply. Chairman Cruz stated the total collected does not change. Commissioner Kahn stated the levy is for learning, bonds are for building. Mandy Jones, 10409 Willow Way, stated she has four children in the School District and believes it is the City's job and the Planning Commission's job to plan for the growth. The schools are crowded and there is no way to look at this new development and say there will be no impact to the School District. Chairman Cruz closed the public hearing. Commissioner Kempf moved, seconded by Commissioner Lukins, to close the hearing on the proposed subdivision and initiate deliberations and schedule adoption of Findings of Fact, Conclusions and a Recommendation to the City Council for the July 21, 2011 meeting. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. White stated the public hearing is the first step the item will return in July for deliberations and action. -7 - B. Special Permit Location of a Parking Lot in a R-3 (Medium Density Residential Zone (424 & 428 W. Shoshone Street) (Northwest Agriculture Products, Inc.) (MF# SP2011-007) Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Dave McDonald, City Planner, the applicant was seeking Special Permit approval for an off premise parking lot for an existing office building located on the corner of North 4th Avenue and Shoshone Street. Mr. McDonald provided some historical background on the property and then reviewed the written report for the benefit of the Planning Commission. Recommended conditions of approval were also discussed. Commissioner Levin asked if neighbors will be able to park in the parking lot after hours. Mr. McDonald stated the applicant has proposed to install gates. Chairman Cruz opened the public hearing. David Puckett, 2712 Road 84, operations manager for NW Agricultural Products, explained some of the improvements NW Agricultural Products plan for the parking lot such as stopping drainage from entering the City street. Chairman Cruz asked Mr. Puckett if he agreed with approval conditions. Mr. Puckett asked if a chain link fence with inserts would be appropriate. Mr. McDonald stated a chain link fence does not create a solid screen; a cedar or block wall fence would. Sam Key, 4103 Northlake Drive, West Richland, stated he owns neighboring property and his concern is for the location of the dumpster and the new asphalt causing a heat island. Mr. McDonald stated trees would be required in the parking lot and that hard surfacing in the planting strip along Shoshone would need to be replaced with landscaping all which would help reduce the heat island effect. Mr. Key stated he was concerned about noise from transients that dumpster dive. Mr. Puckett stated the dumpster will be the same size of a residential size dumpster (100 gallon automated can) which will mostly contain paper. There -8 - will be a gate along the alley and the dumpster will be moved to the alley weekly for garbage pickup. Monica Sanchez, 6309 Victoria Court, spoke on behalf of her sister-in-law who resides at 420 Shoshone, next door to the parking lot. Her main concern was for privacy, noise, landscaping, heat that would impact her ,yard, and lighting spillage. Mr. McDonald explained the east side of the lot will contain a solid six foot fence which will provide privacy for the back ,yard; the first six feet of the parking lot will be a planting strip which will contain a minimum of 6 trees and 18 shrubs. The office building business hours will be 9-5 Monday-Friday. Lighting will need to be shielded from neighboring properties. Chairman Cruz called for further public comment and after no response after three calls the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Lukins moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to close the hearing on the hearing on the proposed lot and initiate deliberations and schedule adoption of Findings of Fact, conclusions, and a recommendation to the City Council for the July 21, 2011 meeting. C. CDBG 2012 Community Development Block Grant Allocations [Citywide] (MF# BGAP 2011-003) Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Angie Pitman, CDBG Administrator stated the hearing was the first of two public hearings required for the 2012 CDBG Allocation applications. The second public hearing will be in July; in August City Council will hold a workshop; and in October a 30-day public review period of the Action Plan which will go to HUD in November. Ms. Pitman discussed the background of the CDBG program and explained Pasco typically receives an annual entitlement of about $600,000 per year. Program rules and eligibility requirements from CFR 570 were discussed; national objectives were explained along with Consolidated Plan requirements. 2012 will be the third year of the Consolidated Plan. The City can carry out activities with City employees, contractors or program partners such as sub recipients from other governmental agencies, private or public non-profit and private for profit. Contractors can be used and are selected through a competitive procurement process or a community based organization (which we do not have in our area). For 2012 the estimated entitlement is $510,000 which includes a 16% decrease. It is estimated that $10,000 will be available from program income and $462,000 will be reallocated from prior ,years activities. In 2012 there is $982,000 available for use. In May of each year the City advertises for requests -9 - for proposals. Sixteen proposals were received asking for approximately $ 1.5 million in funding leaving a deficit of about $488,000. Chairman Cruz called for question on any of the City's proposals. Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director presented the following program application: Community & Economic Development Administration accounts for all of CDBG salaries and other employees which provide CDBG support. It also pays for the CDBG program functions such as advertising, public notices, supplies, and etc. The Civic Center Youth Recreation Specialist is a partial salary for an employee who provides project delivery for the after school and summer programs at City Hall for low to moderate families and their children. The Martin Luther King Recreation Specialist works closely with the YMCA and Head Start to provide services at the Martin Luther King Center. The Senior Citizen Center Recreation Specialist is similar to the previous specialists however services are solely provided for low to moderate income senior citizens. The Downtown Fagade Improvement Program has been undertaken by the Downtown Pasco Development Authority and there are 3-4 facades projects in process. The LID 148 Assessment Assistance request is for Phase 2 of the Kurtzman Neighborhood Improvement Program which continues from last year and if successful will be constructed this summer. The $65,000 will assist in financial assistance for low to moderate income households. The Senior Center Kitchen remodel has been needed for many ,years. The kitchen provides Meals on Wheels for the entire Tri-City area. The funds will be used to replace kitchen equipment. The Code Enforcement Officer request provides the salary for one Code Enforcement Officer to minimize adverse affects on neighborhoods such as a vacant house with waist high weeds, broken windows, etc. in low to moderate income neighborhoods to stop and prevent slum and blight. The Kurtzman Park LID last phase for improving Hugo, Sycamore and Cedar streets for the northerly section adjacent to Lewis Street. The streets are in terrible shape with vacant lots and improvements with water and sewer in the past year bona fide economic development and residential growth would be a good thing for that neighborhood. -10 - The Community Park project consists of developing a park with athletic fields in low moderate income census tracts east of Highway 395. The park would include recreation space and athletic fields such as soccer, football or softball. Ahmad Qayoumi, Public Works Director explained the request for funding for ADA sidewalk accessibility improvements of pedestrians. The downtown area is being targeted first and then other areas in the city will be addressed. Jennifer Balderas, 74 Whitten Street, Richland and Kim Lowe, 3 Zinnia Court, Pasco presented their program for youth to give them an opportunity to do something constructive and give back to the community by producing organic fruits/vegetables. Commissioner Khan asked where the garden site would be located. Ms. Balderas stated land would be donated in various areas of Pasco. Commissioner Greenaway asked how they proposed to transport youth to different sites if they reside in Richland. Ms. Balderas stated she is working with Louise Alaniz, President of Charity Program for that purpose. Chairman Cruz recalled Ms. Alaniz's proposal from last year and they requested to see funding, development and matching of funds for such programs. Their request is for CDBG to fund their program 100%. Ms. Balderas stated the money would be for seed money to start their gardens. Chairman Cruz again asked for clarification on the matching dollar amount. Ms. Balderas stated there is no match. Commissioner Khan asked if there were farmers who have donated to this program. Ms. Balderas stated no; there are several families who are willing to donate ground. Commissioner Khan asked if they fashioned their program after any other model such as co-op farming that use at risk ,youth who train them for a job. Ms. Balderas stated she was not aware of that program. Chairman Cruz called for the applicant for the Benton Franklin Community Action Committee Homeless Prevention Program. No one responded from the audience. -11 - Carol Schuh, 1202 W. Lewis Street, Power Zone Youth Center stated they have an after school program called "Homework Zone". Their mission statement: Reaching at risk youth, mentoring and developing their God given potential. Their goal is to help ,youth graduate. They focus on prevention and intervention. They are teaming up with an organization "Firme" which means firm and is headed by Jesse Campos who is the executive director of Teen Challenge who works with gang members. Commissioner khan questioned the number of,youth they serve. Ms. Schuh stated on average 30-35; they were formerly at the Martin Luther King Center and since they have relocated it is harder to get the kids from the eastside to their facility. Commissioner Anderson asked how long has this program been running. Ms. Schuh stated since March of 2000. Commissioner Anderson questioned how they have funded the program. Ms. Schuh stated through in-kind donations and grant monies. The grant monies have run out and they would like to get another tutor and more space. Victoria Silvernail, 120 Thayer, Richland, Executive Director of the Pasco Specialty Kitchen stated they provide an affordable organic certified commercial incubator kitchen for small food businesses to cook and package their product. Ms. Silvernail discussed the various helps they provide clients and their partnering with the Pasco School District cooking Academy. Chairman Cruz called for Catholic Family Charities Volunteer Chore Services to present their request. No response. Chairman Cruz continued the public hearing to the next meeting. Commissioner Lukins stated that of the 12 projects recommended funding and 11 are for the City. He feels room should be created for one more. Chairman Cruz suggested moving $10,000 from the Fagade improvement to the Power Zone Youth Center. Ms. Pitman explained there was a 15% cap on funding for public services. Power Zone is a public service provider. To stay under the cap funding had already been reduced for the Senior Center. Chairman Cruz stated he was still in favor of allocating money to Power Zone. The general consensus of the Commission was for providing some funding for Power Zone. -12 - OTHER BUSINESS: Commissioner Anderson moved, seconded by Commissioner Hay, to adjourn the meeting. The motion passed unanimously. With no further business, the Planning Commission was adjourned at 8:24 p.m. David McDonald, Secretary -13 - REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION MASTER FILE NO: PP 2011-002 APPLICANT: Big Creek Land Company HEARING DATE: 6/ 16/2011 11741 W. Romin Road ACTION DATE: 7/21/2011 Post Falls, ID 83854 BACKGROUND REQUEST: Preliminary Plat: Columbia Villas, 100-Lots (Multi-Family) 1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: The east 525' of the south 1180' of the northwest quarter of Section 9, Township 9 North, Range 29 East except road rights-of-way General Location: The N/W corner of Sandifur Parkway and Road 76 Property Size: 12.72 Acres Number of Lots Proposed: 100 lots for zero lot line construction Square Footage Range of Lots: 3,018 ft2 to 5,793 ft2 Average Lot Square Footage: 4,300 ft= 2. ACCESS: The property will have access from Road 76 and Three Rivers D rive. 3. UTILITIES: Municipal sewer currently exists on the site. Water service will need to be extended through the site from the east and west. Irrigation lines will need to be installed through the site and extended the length of the site on both Road 76 and Three Rivers Drive. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned R-3 (Medium Residential). Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: NORTH: R-4 - Vacant and Apartments SOUTH: R-1 - Single Family Residences EAST: C-1 - Vacant WEST R-1 - Single Family Residences 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan indicates the site is intended for mixed residential development. According to the Comprehensive Plan, mixed residential development means 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre. The criteria for allocation under the future land use section of Volume II of the Comprehensive Plan (Vol. II, page 17) encourages development of lands designated for mixed residential uses when or where: sewer is available, the location is convenient to major circulation routes, the site serves as a transition between more intense uses and low density uses, and when there is a market demand. Policy H-1-E encourages the advancement of home ownership and Goal H-2 I suggests the City strive to maintain a variety of housing options for residents of the community. Goal LU-2 encourages the maintenance of established neighborhoods and the creation of new neighborhoods that are safe and enjoyable places to live. 6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for this project. Based on the SEPA checklist, the adopted City Comprehensive Plan, City development regulations, comments received from the Pasco School District, and other information, the City has issued a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS) for this project under WAC 197-11-158. To mitigate the impacts associated with the proposed Columbia Villas Subdivision the developer will need to enter into an agreement with the Pasco School District, as authorized under RCW 82.02.020. The terms of said agreement may include impact fees or other remuneration to ameliorate the impacts that 59 new students will have on the School District. ANALYSIS The site was initially designated for mixed residential development under the Comprehensive Plan in 1995. The R-3 (Medium Density Residential) zoning was established in 2003 around the time Columbia Place (to the west) received Preliminary Plat approval. The right-of-way for Road 76 and Three Rivers Drive was deeded to the City in the fall of 2003. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the site in question into 100 lots to allow the construction of 50 duplexes. Each duplex would occupy two lots with the common lot line dividing each unit. This proposal for Columbia Villas is identical to the process that was used for the development of the Island Estates Row Homes in the Island Estates subdivision (Phase 8) and in the Mediterranean Villas subdivision. Each of these subdivisions was zoned for multi-family development and later platted into individual lots. The lot lines within these subdivisions became the common boundary line separating the dwelling units. LOT LAYOUT: The proposed Plat contains 100 lots; with the lots varying hi size from 3,018 square feet to 5,793 square feet. The proposal is consistent with the density requirements of the R-3 zoning of the site. RIGHTS-OF-WAY: All lots have frontage on streets which will be dedicated. UTILITIES: The developer will be responsible for extending utilities into the Plat. A utility easement will be needed along the first 10 feet of street frontage of all lots. The final location and width of the easements will be determined during the engineering design phase. The front ,yard setbacks for construction 2 purposes are larger than the requested easements; therefore the front vard easements will not diminish the buildable area of the lots. The City Engineer will determine the specific placement of fire hydrants and streetlights when construction plans are submitted. As a general rule, fire hydrants are located at street intersections and at a maximum interval of 500 feet. Streetlights are located at street intersections and at 300-foot intervals on residential streets. STREET NAMES: The street names follow the river theme of the Columbia Place subdivision to the west. IRRIGATION: The municipal code requires the installation of irrigation lines as a part of the infrastructure improvements. WATER RIGHTS: The assignment of water rights is a requirement for subdivision approval. Where no water rights exist the developer is required to pay a fee of$1,500 per acre. FINDINGS OF FACT State law (RCW 58.17.010) and the Pasco Municipal Code require the Planning Commission to develop Findings of Fact as to how this proposed subdivision will protect and enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the community. The following is a listing of proposed "Findings of Fact": Prevent Overcrowding: Density requirements of the R-3 zone are designed to address overcrowding concerns. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property in question be developed with 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre. The proposed Plat has a density of less than 8 units per acre. No more than 60 percent of each lot is permitted to be covered with structures per the R-3 zoning standards. Parks Opens Space/Schools: City parks are located in Columbia Place and Island Estates. The proposed subdivision will be served by Ruth Livingston Elementary School, McLoughlin Middle School and Chiawana High School. The Preliminary Plat was submitted to the School District for review. The School District has indicated (see attached letter) that the District does not have capacity at Livingston or McLoughlin to serve the addition enrollment expected from the proposed subdivision. The table below illustrates the School Districts capacity constraints. The City is required by RCW 58.17.110 to make a finding that adequate provisions are being made to ameliorate the impacts of the proposed subdivision on the School District. The proposed Plat cannot be recommended for approval unless the Planning Commission finds adequate provisions have been made for the schools. The School District has requested 3 the impacts be mitigated. Without a specific impact fee ordinance the mitigation can be achieved through the developer entering into a voluntary agreement with the School District as authorized under RCW 82.02.020. The voluntary agreement would specify the type or form of mitigation being provided by the developer. The mitigation could take the form of an impact fee cash payment to the District, the construction of portable classrooms or combination of fees and in-kind services. Requiring the developer to enter into an agreement with the School District for the payment of impact fees or other kinds of remuneration would be one method of addressing the finding requirements of RCW 58.17.110. SCHOOL CAPACITY OCTOBER 2010 ENROLLMENT Ruth Livingston 500 300 McLoughlin 1,000 1 ,433 Middle Chiawana High 2,200 2,032 Effective Land Use/Orderly Development: The Plat is laid out for multi- family development as identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The maximum density permitted under the Comprehensive Plan is 20 dwelling units per acre. The developer is proposing a density of 7.8 units per acre. The proposed development will provide for the continuation of Road 76 north to Three Rivers Drive and will provide another outlet/entrance to the Columbia Place subdivision. Safe Travel & Walking Conditions: The Plat is connected to Sandifur Parkway, and Three Rivers Drive. Sidewalks will be installed at the time homes are built on individual lots. These sidewalks will connect with sidewalks to be built on Road 76 and with the existing sidewalk on Sandifur Parkway. Adequate Provision of Municipal Services: All lots within the Plat will be provided with water, sewer and other utilities. Provision of Housing for State Residents: This Preliminary Plat contains 100 residential building lots, providing an opportunity for the construction of 50 duplex units. Adequate Air and Light: The maximum lot coverage limitations and building setbacks will assure that adequate movement of air and light is available to each lot. 4 Proper Access & Travel: The streets through and adjoining the Plat will be paved and developed to City standards to assure proper access is maintained to each lot. Connections to the community will be provided by Road 76 and Three Rivers Drive. The Preliminary Plat was submitted to the Transit Authority for review. (The discussion under "Safe Travel" above applies to this section also.) Comprehensive Plan Policies & Maps: The Comprehensive Plan designates the Plat site for mixed residential development. Policies of the Comprehensive Plan encourage the advancement of home ownership and suggest the City strive to maintain a variety of housing for residents. Other Findings: • The site is within the Pasco Urban Growth Boundary. • The State Growth Management Act requires urban growth and urban densities to occur within the Urban Growth Boundaries. • The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for mixed residential development. • Mixed residential development is described in the Comprehensive Plan as five to twenty dwelling units per acre. • The site is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential). • The site was zoned R-3 in 2003. • The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the advancement of programs that promote home ownership and development of a variety of residential densities and housing types. • The Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the interconnection of neighborhood streets to provide for the disbursement of traffic. • The east end of Three Rivers Drive in the Columbia Place subdivision is currently barricaded and does not contain a cul-de-sac. • Dedicated cul-de-sacs are provided on the ends of streets where they are not planned to be extended in the future. • The interconnection of neighborhood streets is necessary for utility connections (looping) and the provision of emergency services. • The right-of-way for Road 76 and Three Rivers Drive was deeded to the City in 2003. • The site was zoned R-3 in 2003 to provide an area of transition between the more intense C-1 zoning east of Road 76 and the less intense residential development in the Columbia Place subdivision. 5 • The School District has purchased sites for future schools at the northwest corner of Road 60 and Sandifur Parkway (elementary school) and at the end of Road 52 (middle school). • A recent bond measure to fund construction of the Road 60 and Road 52 schools failed. • The School District has provided data indicating Pasco schools lack the capacity to accommodate additional students. • The School District by letter dated June 3, 2011 requested the impacts to the School District created by the proposed Plat be mitigated. • RCW 58.17.110 requires the City to make a finding that adequate provisions have been made for schools before any preliminary Plat is approved. • The School District by letter dated June 3, 2011 indicated impact fees address the requirement to ensure adequate provisions are made for schools. • The City of Pasco does not have a school impact fee ordinance compelling new housing developments to provide the School District with mitigation fees. • RCW 82.02.020 authorizes the School District to enter into agreements with developers for the purpose of mitigating the impacts new development may have upon the School District. The terms of such agreements may include the payment of school impact fees. • The fully developed portions of Sandifur Parkway contain a curvilinear sidewalk and extensive landscaping. • The site borders on a partially developed section of Sandifur Parkway. CONCLUSIONS BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF FACT Before recommending approval or denial of the proposed Plat the Planning Commission must develop Findings of Fact from which to draw its conclusion (P.M.C. 26.24.070) therefrom as to whether or not: (1) Adequate provisions are made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for open spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks, playgrounds, transit stops, schools and school grounds, sidewalks for safe walking conditions for students and other public needs; The proposed Plat will be required to develop under the standards of the Municipal Code and the standard specifications of the City Engineering division. These standards for streets, sidewalks, and other infrastructure improvements were designed to ensure the public health, safety and general welfare of the community are secured. These standards include provisions for 6 streets, drainage, water and sewer service and the provision for dedication of park lands. The Preliminary Plat was forwarded to the Franklin County PUD, the Pasco School District and Ben-Franklin Transit Authority for review and comment. The School District indicated that there are capacity constraints at Ruth Livingston Elementary and McLoughlin Middle School. To address the capacity issues and ensure adequate provisions are made for schools the District is asking the developer to enter into an agreement with the Pasco School District to mitigate the impacts the development will have upon the provision of schools and school services. City parks are located in the subdivisions to the west and southwest of the site. All new developments participate in establishing parks through the payment of park fees at the time of permitting. (2) The proposed subdivision contributes to the orderly development and land use patterns in the area; The proposed Plat makes efficient use of vacant land and will provide for the looping of utilities and interconnectivity of streets as supported in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed subdivision will provide another connection from Sandifur Parkway to and from Columbia Place. (3) The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and narrative text of the Comprehensive Plan; The Comprehensive Plan land use map designates the site for mixed residential development. Mixed residential development is described as 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre in the text of the Comprehensive Plan. The Housing Element of the Plan encourages the promotion of a variety of residential densities and suggests the community should support the advancement of programs encouraging home ownership. The Transportation Element of the Plan suggests major streets should be beautified with trees and landscaping. The Plan also encourages the interconnection of local streets for inter-neighborhood travel for public safety as well as providing for traffic disbursement. (4) The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of any applicable policies or plans which have been adopted by the City Council; Development plans and policies have been adopted by the City Council in the form of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and narrative text of the Plan as noted in number three above. (5) The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of the subdivision regulations. The general purposes of the subdivision regulations have been enumerated and discussed in the staff analysis and Findings of Fact. The Findings of Fact indicate the subdivision is in conformance with the general purposes of the subdivision regulations provided certain mitigation measures (i.e.: school impact fees are paid.) (6) The public use and interest will be served by approval of the proposed subdivision. The proposed Plat, if approved, will be developed in accordance with all City standards designed to insure the health, safety and general welfare of the community are met. The Comprehensive Plan will be implemented through development of this Plat. These factors will insure the public use and interest are served. PLAT APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1.

ACTION DATE: 7/21/2011 821 S. Chestnut Ave. Pasco, WA 99301 BACKGROUND REQUEST: SPECIAL PERMIT: Location of a Parking Lot in an R-3 (Medium Density Residential) Zone 1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: Lots 11 to 16, Block 7, Gerry's Addition except the south 50' of lots 13 to 16 General Location: 424 & 428 West Shoshone Street Property Size: 0.37 acres (two parcels) 2. ACCESS: The site has access from Shoshone Street and 4th Avenue. 3. UTILITIES: All municipal utilities currently serve the site. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is comprised of two parcels zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential) and contain an office building on one parcel and a vacant single family residence on the other. The zoning and land use of the surrounding properties are as follows: NORTH: R-3 - Multi-Family Residence SOUTH: R-3 - Single-Family Residence EAST: R-3 - Single-Family Residence WEST: R-3 - Church 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for mixed residential uses. Policy LU-1-B encourages enhancement of the physical appearance of development within the City. The proposal would replace an abandoned home on an unmaintained lot with a parking lot containing landscaping. Policy LU-2-D requires all development to be landscaped. Conditions of approval contained herein require site development to include landscaping thereby enhancing the appearance of the immediate vicinity. 1 6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for this project. Based on the SEPA checklist, the adopted City Comprehensive Plan, City development regulations, and other information, a threshold determination resulting in a Determination of Nan-Significance (DNS) has been issued for this project under WAC 197-11-158. ANALYSIS The applicant is seeking a Special Permit to allow the location of an off- site parking lot to serve an administrative office building located at the southeast corner of Shoshone Street and 4th Avenue. The proposed parking lot is located on a parcel located at 424 West Shoshone directly to the east of the existing office building and associated parking lot. The office building (former Roach Law Offices) at 428 West Shoshone was permitted and constructed in 1979. The office building was originally constructed with nine parking spaces. The office building was constructed as a law office and remained as such until 2005. In approximately 1982 the zoning regulations were modified and the office building in question became a nonconforming use in a medium density residential zoning district. The applicant has recently purchased the building for a business office and is proposing to expand the existing parking lot to the vacant property to the east. The vacant property to the east was purchased by the original office building owner for additional parking spaces but the parking lot was never built. The parcel proposed for the parking lot contains a 576-square foot house that was constructed in 1940. This house has been vacant for many ,years. Windows of the house facing the alley are secured with plywood and the house itself is currently uninhabitable. The vacant lot coupled with the existing office parking lot will allow the applicant to increase parking far the office building from 9 spaces to 21 spaces. Office uses are required to provide a minimum of one parking stall per 300-square feet of building area on the ground floor (main floor) and one parking space for every 500-square feet of building area above or below the first floor. The existing office building is required by the current code to have 31 parking stalls. The proposal will significantly improve the parking situation but will still not meet the current standards. Overall the parking situation would become less nonconforming. Per PMC 25.78.020(10), off-site parking lots are considered "Unclassified Uses" and thus require Special Permit review prior to locating anywhere within the City. The applicant cannot expand his parking lot without obtaining a Special Permit. An example of an off-site parking lot that was permitted under PMC 25.78.020 (10) is the Lourdes Hospital parking lot at the northwest corner of North 5th Avenue and Nixon Street. This parking lot, which is in an R-1 zone, was granted a Special Permit in 1994. The hospital parking lot required the vacation of some street right-of-way, the elimination of a small City park (Queen of Spades Park) and the demolition of several houses. The proposal will benefit the surrounding neighborhood in that it would provide additional off-street parking. The homes on Shoshone Street between 4th Avenue and 3rd Avenue do not have front ,yard driveways. On-street parking for residential purposes is very limited. Adding more off-street parking for the office building will lessen the potential conflict between residential on-street parking and office on-street parking. The proposal would also benefit the neighborhood by eliminating a dilapidated old structure. FINDINGS OF FACT Findings of Fact must be entered from the record. The following are initial findings drawn from the background and analysis section of the staff report. The Planning Commission may add additional findings to this listing as the result of factual testimony and evidence submitted during the open record hearing. 1. The site is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential). 2. The applicant Proposes to redevelop the site for off-street parking. 3. The Municipal Code [PMC 25.78.020(10)] requires Special Permit review for off-site parking lots. 4. The proposed site is adjacent to an existing parking lot of the old Roach Law Offices. 5. The Roach Law building is 5,760 square feet and was constructed in 1979. The building contains two floors. 6. The parking lot for the Roach Law building contains nine parking stalls. 7. Under the current code the Roach Law building requires 31 parking spaces. 8. The proposed parking lot is to be located at 424 West Shoshone Street. 9. The proposed parking lot will provide 14 off-street parking stalls. 3 10. The combined sites will provide a total of 21 off-street parking spaces. 11. The addition of the proposed parking lot will decrease the nonconformity in the parking for the old Roach Law building. 12. The site currently contains an abandoned single-family residence. 13. A chain link fence separates the proposed parking lot and the property to the east. 14. Access to the site is available from both Shoshone Street and 4th Avenue. 15. The planting strip along Shoshone Street hi front of the office building is not in conformance with the Municipal Code. CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL THE FINDINGS OF FACT The Planning Commission must make Findings of Fact based upon the criteria listed in P.M.C. 25.36.060. The criteria and staff listed findings are as follows: 1. Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives and text of the Comprehensive Plan? Policy LU-1-B encourages enhancement of the physical appearance of development within the City. The proposal would replace an abandoned home on an unmaintained lot with a parking lot containing landscaping and a sight screening fence. Policy LU-2-D requires all development to be landscaped. Conditions of approval contained herein require site landscaping thereby enhancing the appearance of the immediate vicinity. 2. Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure? The proposal may lessen congestion of a public street by providing additional off-street parking thereby lessening the impacts on the public street. 3. Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity? The current parking lot associated with the old law office building has existed on the site since 1979 and has not generated any complaints from the surrounding residences. Expansion of the parking area into a vacant lot will not alter the existing or intended character of the neighborhood. Parking lot landscaping and screening will ameliorate potential impacts to the adjacent residences. 4 4. Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site design discourage the development of permitted uses on property in the general vicinity or impair the value thereof? An online search (May, 2011) of Franklin County Assessor's records indicate the values of surrounding properties have increased over the ,years since the office building and existing parking lot were constructed. The sight screening fence will not be higher than surrounding residential fences. 5. Will the operations in connection with the proposal be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic, or flashing lights than would be the operation of any permitted uses within the district? If the property were to be developed with a single family home the neighborhood could expect an additional 10 vehicle trips per day in the neighborhood, less than half of what the expanded parking lot would generate. However, the expanded parking lot causes the operations of the office building at 428 West Shoshone to be less objectionable to the neighborhood because office parking that would compete with residential parking of on-street spaces would be significantly diminished. Whether the parking lot is expanded or not the neighborhood will receive traffic from the office building. The expanded parking lot will make the office parking less objectionable to the neighborhood. 6. Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and developed where proposed, or in any way will become a nuisance to uses permitted in the district? The expanded parking lot will remove a possible nuisance to the neighborhood by eliminating the need for on-street parking for the office building at 428 West Shoshone. Linking approval of the proposed parking lot with planting strip improvements along West Shoshone will improve the streetscape appearance to the neighborhood. APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1. The Special Permit shall apply to Tax Parcel 112052207; 2. The applicant shall install a solid six (6) foot tall fence along the east property line beginning twenty (20) feet inside of the property line fronting West Shoshone Street and extending to the alley; 3.

The Pasco Conference of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul plan to construct a 14,952 square foot food bank/clothing distribution warehouse facility on BNSF property fronting both S. 5th & S. 6th Avenues. A majority of the building (11,000 sq ft) will be devoted to food bank functions. The development proposal includes a landscaped parking lot providing 97 parking stalls with four (4) driveways and a loading dock. Two driveways are proposed to access the site from South 5th Avenue and two driveways are proposed to access the site from South 6th Avenue. Under PMC 25.12.156 the definition of Community Service Facility - Level Two includes food banks and other types of non-profit services; PMC 25.86.050(4) requires special permit approval for the location of Community Service Facilities anywhere in the City. The Saint Vincent de Paul Society has maintained a food bank at 129 West Lewis Street for more than 30 ,years. The facility was originally designed for retail purposes and lacks on-site parking and queuing space for patrons of the food bank. The City is buying the Saint Vincent de Paul building along with the other buildings in the 100 block of West Lewis Street (north side of Lewis only) in preparation for the eventual construction of an overpass across the railyard. Because of the City's purchase of the existing Saint Vincent de Paul building the Society is required to relocate. The proposed facility on S. 5th Avenue is designed more efficiently than the current facility to better accommodate food bank patrons by providing off-street parking and an indoor queuing area. With the covered entry sidewalk on either side of the building and the indoor queuing area there will be no need for patrons to queue on adjoining public sidewalks as they now do at the 129 West Lewis facility. INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT Findings of Fact must be entered from the record. The following are initial findings drawn from the background and analysis section of the staff report. The Planning Commission may add additional findings to this listing as the result of factual testimony and evidence submitted during the open record hearing. 1. The Saint Vincent de Paul Society has operated a food bank at 129 West Lewis Street for over 30 years. 2. The City of Pasco is purchasing the exiting Saint Vincent de Paul building to clear in preparation for the construction of the Lewis Street overpass. 3. The existing Saint Vincent de Paul facility has no parking facilities for patrons. 4. The proposed site is zoned I-1 (Light Industrial). 5. The applicant proposes to construct a food bank and clothing distribution facility. 6. By definition, food banks and other non-profit organizations qualify as Level Two Community Service Facilities (PMC 25.12.156). 7. The Municipal Code [PMC 25.86.020(4)] requires Special Permit review for Level Two Community Service Facilities S. The proposed site is currently owned by BNSF Railway Company. 9. The proposed facility is 14,952 square feet in size and contains 97 onsite parking stalls. 10. The proposed building provides indoor queuing for patrons 11. The proposed facility has onsite sidewalks for additional queuing areas. 12. The proposed food bank/clothing center uses each Wednesday as the distribution day. 13. The site is accessible from both 5th and 6th Avenues. CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT The Planning Commission must make Findings of Fact based upon the criteria listed in P.M.C. 25.56.060. The criteria and staff listed findings are as follows: 3 1. Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives and text of the Comprehensive Plan? The site is identified in the Comprehensive Plan for industrial uses. The Industrial Land Use Designation includes all commercial uses listed in the C-1, C-2 and C-3 zones. The nature of the proposed use fits within the intent of permitted uses in the I-1 (Light Industrial) District. Policy LU-1-B encourages enhancement of the physical appearance of development within the City. The proposal would replace a vacant lot with a well developed facility and parking lot containing landscaping. Policy LU-2-D requires all development to be landscaped. Development of the site including landscaping will support policies of the Comprehensive Plan (LU2-D) and enhance the appearance of the immediate vicinity. 2. Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure? All municipal utilities are currently available to the site from surrounding streets. Commercial development standards require right-of-way improvements on all road frontages to bring the bordering roadways up to current standards. Water and sewer demands of the proposed use will be negligible compared to permitted uses such as food manufacturing and bottling facilities and restaurants. Impacts to the adjoining streets will likewise be minimal due to the fact the facility will only be open to the public one day a week. 3. Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity? The proposed use will be equally or less intensive from an activity standpoint than other permitted uses in the I-1 zone. Permitted uses in the I-1 zone such as automotive assembly and repair, trucking express storage ,yards, heavy equipment sales and service and metal fabrication shops all have the potential to generate higher levels of noise than the proposed use. The food bank and clothing center has one day a week (Wednesday) for distribution and will generate little activity on the other days of the week. To address the issue of food bank patrons lining up on public sidewalks the Saint Vincent de Paul Society has designed the proposed facility with indoor queuing space, covered outdoor queuing and additional onsite sidewalks. 4 4. Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site design discourage the development of permitted uses on property in the general vicinity or impair the value thereof? Surrounding properties are zoned I-1 (Light Industrial). There are no height limitations in the I-1 zone. The proposed food bank warehouse building will be about 18 feet hi height which is similar to or less than the height of surrounding warehouses. The proposed facility will also contain significantly more improved onsite parking and landscaping than the surrounding industrial supply facilities. Development of the site, which is currently a vacant lot, will consist of a paved parking lot, landscaping and a new building, which will improve the appearance of the neighborhood. An online search of the Franklin County Assessor's records (7/2011) indicate that property values surrounding the most recently approved food bank (Golden Age Food Share, 504 S Oregon Ave, 2005) have generally increased over the past few ,years. 5. Will the operations in connection with the proposal be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic, or flashing lights than would be the operation of any permitted uses within the district? The proposed food bank/clothing center will only be open to the public one day a week. The facility has been designed with a large onsite parking lot, with indoor queuing space and covered outdoor queuing space to eliminate the need for food bank patrons to line up for services on public sidewalks. The operation of the proposed facility will create less noise, fumes, vibration and dust than the nearby material supply facilities. 6. Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and developed where proposed, or in any way will become a nuisance to uses permitted in the district? Development of the site with the proposed food bank/clothing center will eliminate nuisances associated with blowing dust and weeds that are common on vacant lots within the City. On most days of the week minimal activity will occur on the site. The proposed facility has been planned to accommodate 60 more parking spaces than required by code for a warehouse. The facility has also been designed to accommodate indoor and onsite queuing of patrons to address concerns of individuals lining up on city sidewalks to receive services. The onsite parking and queuing will address safety concerns associated with the existing food bank that contains no onsite public parking or queuing. With distribution occurring one day a week, the food bank will have minimal impact on the surrounding neighborhood. 5 TENTATIVE APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1. The Special Permit shall apply to Tax Parcel 112060378; 2. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the site plan submitted with the Special Permit application; 3. Site development shall conform to the commercial landscape standards of PMC 25.75; 4. No food commodities or other materials shall be stored outside of the building; 5. The driveway entrances shall meet current ADA requirements. 6. The special permit shall be null and void if a building permit has not obtained by September 30, 2013. RECOMMENDATION MOTION: I move to close the hearing on the proposed Level Two Community Service Facility and initiate deliberations and schedule adoption of Findings of Fact, conclusions and a recommendation to the City Council for the August 18, 2011 meeting. 6 Vicinity Item: Saint Vincent de Paul & a 0 Map Applicant: Saint Vincent de Paul N File #: SP2011 -009 -111,110IFow- 79p- V COP 41 A e C O.V n dft .06 ..�� SITE � • � ��. � � - • �. •�,',_, • � X11► .i �" i "A ST , _ 1 _ I ,• r ``"''- � . . 1 -�,,r-• __. rl-1410�, � ' i �• !x �l► �r.

Pitman, Block Grant Administrator L-W-P SUBJECT: 2012 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM ALLOCATION—JULY 15, 2011 Requests for Funding On June 16, 2011, the Planning Commission was with materials for review and consideration relating to our Community Development Block Grant Program for 2012. There were sixteen (16) requests for funding totaling $1,470,204 submitted, and each applicant presented their proposal before the Commission on June 16, 2011. This evening wil I be the second of two public hearings as advertised in the local newspapers and announced at the previous meeting. All who are present would then be able to answer any additional questions you may have and provide information pertinent to their project. Estimated Funds Available It is estimated that the 2012 annual entitlement grant will be $510,000 (including an estimated 16% reduction). Program income is estimated to be $10,000 in 2012. Funds available for reallocation are $461,849 making a total of$981,849 in funds available for use in 2012. There is always some question regarding actual funding levels approved by Congress. Actual available funding for these FY 2012 activities will remain in question until the early part of the year when the CDBG allocation is made by Congressional Resolution. If funding levels are lower than estimated, activity funding may need to be reallocated accordingly. Public Service Cap At the last meeting there was brief discussion regarding an external subrecipient request for public services. In making recommendations for allocation of CDBG funds, staff follows federal, state and local regulations. Resolution 1969, approved August 19, 1991, provides Council policy regarding CDBG funding for the City and was provided by memorandum to the Planning Commission at the last meeting. Section 4 of the resolution states public service (social service) activities may not be carried on by non-profit organizations (including other governmental agencies). Recreational programs operated by the City are allowed by policy. HUD regulations state that the amount of CDBG Funds obligated within a program year to support public service activities may not exceed 15% of the combined total of the entitlement plus the prior year's program income. For 2012, the estimated entitlement of$510,000, and 2011 program income of$10,000 makes the maximum available for public service activities $78,000. Current requests for public services total $105,000. Staff recommends a maximum of$70,000 for public services (13%) for existing recreation programs operated by the City. Planning & Administration Cap HUD regulations state that the amount of CDBG Funds obligated within a program year to support planning and administration activities may not exceed 20% of the combined total of the entitlement plus the current year's program income. For 2012, the estimated entitlement of$510,000 plus program income of$10,000 makes the maximum available for planning and administration $104,000. Current requests for planning and administration total $I20,000, Staff recommends a maximum of$104,000 for planning and administration (20%). Recommendations After discussions and staff evaluation, it is recommended that the activities set forth in Attachment 2 would best meet the City's Consolidated Plan and be most effective in carrying out the objectives for the City in 2012, Your review and recommendation to the City Council would be appreciated. Therefore, we propose the following Motions: MOTION: I move the Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve the use of funds for the 2012 Community Development Block Grant Program as set forth in the "2012 Fund Summary" as recommended by Staff. The City Staff would like to thank the Planning Commission members for your time and assistance. /arp Attachments: 1. 2012 CDBG Fund Summary 2. 2012 CDBG Proposal Summary Attachment 1 2012 CDBG Fund Summary - 07.21.11 Attachment 1 Planning Commission Meeting Page 1 Proposals-Recommendations ID Recipients ACTIVITY 1 AGENCY NAME NonCDBGMatch Requested Recommend PC Recommend City of Pasco-Community $0.00 $120,000.00 $104,000.00 1 1& Economic Development CDBG Program Administration City of Pasco- Administrative& Civic Center-Youth Recreation $45,500.00 $37,500.00 $20,000.00 2 Community Services Specialist City of Pasco- Administrative 8 Martin Luther King Community $100,500.00 $37,500.00 $20,000.00 3 Community Services Center Recreation Specialist F 4 City of Pasco- Administrative& Senior Citizen's Center $200,500.00 $37,500.00 $30,000.00 Community Services Recreation Specialist Youth Organic Farmers/Produce $15,000.00 $14,704.00 5 Charity Training Center Coop Berton Franklin Community Action $11,000.00 5 Committee Homeless Prevention Program lomeworkZone-After School $10,450.00 $35,000.00 7 PowerZone Youth Center T Program City of Pasco-Community Pasco Downtown Development $42,465.00 $65,000.00 $50,000.00 8 & Economic Development Commercial Kitchen City of Pasco-Community Downtown Facade Improvement $40,000.00 $60,000.00 $60,000.00 9 & Economic Development (2 fagades) City of Pasco- Administrative& LID 148 Special Assessment $65,000.00 $65,000.00 110 Community Services Assistance Volunteer Chore Services(12 $69,500.00 $4,000.00 $4,000.00 11 Catholic Family Charities households) City of Pasco- Administrative& $663,000.00 $300,000.00 $230,849.00 12 Community Services Easlside Community Park City of Pasco- Admiristrative& $0.00 $85,000.00 13 Community Services Senior Center Kitchen Remodel City of Pasco-Community $147,000.00 $48,000.00 $48,000.00 14 & Economic Development Code Enforcement Officer Kurtzman Park Neighborhood City of Pasco-Public Improvements-Phase IV $300,000.00 $300,000.00 $200,000.00 15 Works (CT201 BG2) City of Pasco-Public ADA Accessibility-Handicap $250,000.00 $250,000.00 $150,000.00 16 Works Ramp Retrofit $1,883,915.00 $1,470,204.00 $981,849.00 $0.00 Entitlement(2012 Estimated) $ 510,000 Program Income(2012 Estimated) $ 10,000 Prior Year Reallocations(2008-2010) $ 461,849 Total Funds Available $ 981,849 Proposals Recommended $ 981,849 SURPLUS/DEFICIT $ - 7/15/2011 Attachment 1 2012 CDBG Fund Summary - 07.21.11 Attachment 1 Planning Commission Meeting Page 2 Reallocate-Carryover RECIPIENT ACTIVITY PY HUD ID BALANCE CARRY OVER REALLOCATE Pasco Downtown Development Association- DOWNTOWN FACADE PDDA IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 2008 250 $ 63,991.75 $ 63,991.75 CATHOLIC FAMILY Catholic Family&Child CHILD SVCS-VOL.
