related to the mix of residential and commercial land uses at a Planning
Commission workshop on June 20'h. The existing land use plan has
identified or reserved over 760 acres for future commercial needs. Of
those 760 acres about 600 acres are already zoned commercially. Based
upon an aggressive population forecast and professionally accepted
population to commercial development ratios, developed by the Urban
Land Institute, the consultant concluded the City has set aside more
than a sufficient amount of commercial land for both neighborhood and
regional needs. Based on their analysis the consultant is recommending
the City reserve about 520 acres of commercial land in the I-182
corridor. The consultant indicated this acreage would satisfy
commercial needs in the corridor for the next 50 years.

REGULAR MEETING PASCO CITY COUNCIL JULY 1, 2002
Mr. Larsen reminded Council that he had expressed the opinion that
there needed to be a separation of powers between the Council and staff
and that Council needed to make decisions without interference or
influence from staff.
Ms. Francik stated the Council's job is to provide the vision and it's the
job of the professional staff to make sure the Council is in accordance
with all the laws and to fulfill Council's vision. Ms. Francik stated she
would be very opposed to Council to do any kind of facilitation without
some representation from staff.
Mr. Kilbury felt there should be a facilitator, but the facilitator should
function to get the Council to work together. Mr. Kilbury felt there
wasn't a problem with staff, but that the Council could use some
facilitation.
Mr. Jackson felt attending conferences sponsored by AWC has been
where he learned to perform his duties as a Councilmember and he
would not attend a conference with a facilitator. Mr. Jackson felt it
would be a waste of taxpayer money.
Mr. Strode was not for or against a retreat with a facilitator.
Mayor Garrison felt that as long as Council and staff continue to work for
the greater good of the citizens of Pasco there was no need for a
facilitator.
