Mr. Garrison moved to adopt Ordinance No. 3354, amending the Pasco Municipal Code by repealing Title 22 dealing with zoning and enacting a new Title 25 dealing with zoning, and authorize publication by summary only.

MOTION: Mr. Garrison moved to adopt Ordinance No. 3355, amending the Pasco Municipal Code Section 25.70.090 dealing with factory assembled homes. Mr. Lathim seconded the motion. Mr. Jensen was opposed to the 2nd section of the proposed ordinance which requires a substantial delay before the granting of a permit. Mr. Jensen felt this could have a significant impact on financing, closing with the bank, etc. He was also troubled that the City would require anyone to submit an invoice for the value of their home to the public. MOTION: Mr. Jensen moved to amend the motion to include only Section No. 1 of the ordinance. Ms. Francik seconded the motion. Mr. Garrison asked how the property values of the existing homes would be protected when manufactured homes are placed on property in a neighborhood. Mr. Garrison felt Council would be doing a disservice to the citizens of the community that have made long term investments in their homes. Mr. Strode felt that Council has an obligation to property owners to maintain the value and the viability of neighborhoods; however, he felt that the substantial delay before granting a permit to be excessive. Ms. Francik stated that if Council amends the proposed ordinance by striking Section No. 2 areas that have been platted not less than 35 years will still be required to have units not less than 5 years old and they must not be less than 100% of the average assessed value of the homes in the area. Ms. Francik was in support of striking Section No. 2 because to do otherwise would be to require a totally different set of rules for citizens using manufactured homes verses stick-built homes. Mr. Lathim felt the requirement for 100% of assessed value would take care of Mr. Garrison's question of how property owners would be protected from a loss of home value. Mr. Garrison felt a problem would arise when a citizen applies for a permit and the homes in the area haven't been reassessed by the County Assessor in 4 years. Mr. Jackson was in support of the amendment for many of the reasons already stated by other members of the Council. The motion to amend the original motion carried (Garrison - No). The original motion as amended carried (Garrison - No). -3- MINUTES REGULAR MEETING PASCO CITY COUNCIL APRIL 19, 1999 ORDINANCE NO. 3356 AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING WAGES FOR CERTAIN NON-MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 1999.

Special Permit: Location of Golf Course south of I-182 and .east of Broadmoor Boulevard lad Vo tilla Govenors Investment Services Inc. and Thomas Kidwell)(MF #99-22-SPI: Mr. Garrison asked why 2 years were being allowed verses the usual 6 months for the special permit. Mr. Smith explained that additional time could be needed by the developer to do the design work as well as assemble the capital necessary for a project of this size and due the fact that the developer would have to spend a considerable sum of money to prepare the plans, they would like some type of assurance from the City that they would be approved for a golf course at the proposed location. Mr. Garrison wasn't confident that another golf course in the area would be viable. Ms. Francik felt the developer should understand that the granting of a special permit would not guarantee final approval of site plans and, in fact, those plans could be rejected by the Council. -4- MINUTES REGULAR MEETING PASCO CITY COUNCIL APRIL 19, 1999 MOTION: Mr. Strode moved to approve the special permit for the development of a golf course south of 1-182 and east of Broadmoor Boulevard as recommended by the Planning Commission.
