Special Permit Off-Street Parking Lot (Bill Robinson) (E. Lewis Street) (MF# SP 07-013) Chairman Samuel introduced the item and explained that it had been presented at the last meeting and public comment had been received at that time. No further public comments will be taken during the deliberations. Staff reviewed the history of the project and discussed the proposed conditions. Staff explained an additional condition needs to be added. Condition 14 should state the property shall pay its fair share for water fees based on front footage and square footage consistent with the requirements of the public works department. Chairman Samuel asked what the estimated fees for the water would be? Staff stated that the water fees have been estimated at about $6,000. Staff explained why the water fees are charged. Staff further explained the property is benefiting from the existence of a water line and nearby fire hydrant. Fire protection is available to the property and the property needs to participate it the cost of that protection. Commissioner Cruz asked if the applicant wanted or needed water on the site. Staff stated that the applicant did not requested water and water would not be needed because the Planning Commission determined landscaping was not needed. Staff explained that prior to submission of the request for the special permit, the applicant was made aware that payment of the water fee and installation of curb and gutter would be required. Based on that information the applicant submitted his Special Permit application. Commissioner Anderson made a motion to adopt the findings of fact and conclusions therefore as contained in the Staff report. Commissioner Little seconded the motion. The motion passed with Commissioner Cruz voting Nay. Commissioner Anderson moved based on the findings of fact and conclusions therefrom that Planning Commission recommend the City Council grant a special permit to Bill Robinson for the location of an off site parking lot for the -2- Pasco Flea Market with the conditions presented in the Staff report and the addition of condition number fourteen.

Respectfully submitted, David McDonald, Secretary -3- REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION MASTER FILE NO: Z 08-001 APPLICANT: All Pro Contracting INC. HEARING DATE: 03/20/08 4514 W 9th Ave. ACTION DATE: 04/17/08 Kennewick, WA 99336 BACKGROUND REQUEST: A site-specific Rezone of a 5.12 Acre parcel from R-S-1 (Residential Suburban) to R-1 (Low Density Residential). 1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: A 5.12 acre portion of the East 1/2 of the Southwest 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4 of Section 24, Township 9 North, Range 29 East, WM lying southerly of SR-182 Right-of-Way. General Location: Just east of the intersection of Wernett and RD 32. Property Size: Approximately 5.12 acres 2. ACCESS: The property has access from Wernett. 3. UTILITIES: All municipal utilities are available to the site. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The subject parcel is currently zone R-S-1 and occupied by one house. The subject parcel is bounded by I-182 on the North and Wernett on the South. Property to the west is zoned R-S-1 and occupied by two duplexes, a house, and a vineyard. Properties to the south are zoned R-S-1, and are developed with single family dwellings. A few scattered multi-family dwellings are also located in the general vicinity. The property to the east is occupied by one house and is zoned R-S-1. 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for Low Density Residential development. 6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: This proposal has been issued a determination of nonsignificance in accordance with review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21(c) RCW. ANALYSIS The subject property is currently zoned R-S-1 (Suburban Residential) which allows for a minimum lot size of 1 residence per 10,000 square feet. Surrounding properties to the west and east are similarly zoned. Properties to the south are zoned R-S-12 which allows a minimum lot size of 12,000 square feet. The applicant is requesting the property be rezoned to R-1 (Low Density Residential) which permits minimum lot sizes of 7,200 square feet. In determining if a zone change is appropriate for the subject parcel the Planning Commission should, among other things, consider the following issues: 1) the current density of existing development in the immediate vicinity of the subject property; and, 2) the comprehensive plan future land use designation of the property and surrounding areas. Reviewing the general neighborhood surrounding the site, Staff found that parcels directly to the southwest (Newton Addition) of the site averaged 7,200 square feet in size. The Newton Addition is 3.7 acres and contains 19 lots for a density of 5.1 units per acre. Parcels to the south average 12,000 square feet, and parcels to the southeast average 11,000 sq ft; however several of the parcels to the southeast contain multi-family units which produce an actual density of approximately 1 dwelling unit per 5500 sq ft. There are two duplexes directly west of the site and three duplexes are located on the south side of Wernett at the southeast corner of the site. Other duplexes, a four-plex and a tri-plex are located nearby. The current Comprehensive Land Use Map designates the subject property and all surrounding properties for low density development. Pursuant to Section CP.3.15 of the Comprehensive Plan the low density residential designation allows a net density of 2-5 units per acre. Zones consistent with this designation include R-S-20, R-S-12, R-S-1, and R-1. Thus, changing the zoning of the subject property to R-1 would be consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Designation of the Plan. The initial review criteria for considering a rezone application are explained in PMC. 25.88.030. The criteria are listed below as follows: 1. The changed conditions in the vicinity which warrant other or additional zoning: • Sewer service is now available in the neighborhood • All properties to the south and southeast are fully developed with a variety of housings type, single family units being the predominate type. • The Newton Addition directly across Wernett to the southwest was developed with 7,200 square foot lots. • Duplex units are located to the east and west of the site. • Many of the streets in the neighborhood have been rebuilt to a higher standard in the last 10 years. • The water system was upgraded in the neighborhood within the last 10 years 2 2. Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and general welfare. The rezone will enhance development opportunities that may lead to the development of low density single family homes which will eliminate the potential fire hazards created by the current vacant field. The low density character of the area will be maintained and future development will participate in the costs previously incurred by the community for the water and sewer system that serve the parcel. The general welfare will be support by additional in-fill development that will contribute to the cost of municipal services. 3. The effect it will have on the nature and value of adjoining property and the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed rezone is supported by the comprehensive plan and would be considered a proper implementation of the plan. The proposed rezone would protect the established character of the nearby neighborhoods and thereby the nature and value of the neighboring properties. The proposal could enhance development of the site and lead to the elimination of a large field that grows weeds and grasses that can be considered a fire hazard for adjoining residential structures. 4. The effect on the property owners if the request is not granted. The proposed rezone will permit the future development cost for the site, including any sound walls along the freeway, to be spread more reasonably over a few additional lots. 5. The Comprehensive land use designation for the property. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for low density residential development. The proposed rezone is for low density residential consistent with the Plan. 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 site is zoned R-S-1 (Suburban Residential). 3 2) The Comprehensive Plan designates the site Low Density Residential development, which allows a net density of 2-5 units per acre. 3) R-1 zoning is identified as Low Density Residential in the zoning regulations. 4) R-1 zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential for the site. 5) Most properties in the immediate vicinity of the subject parcel are developed with single family dwellings 6) Duplex units are located directly west and east of the site and other multi- family units are located nearby. 7) The Newton Addition across Wernett was developed with 7,200 square foot lots matching the minimum lot size for the R-1 District. 8) The Newton Addition is developed at a density of 5.1 units per acre. CONCLUSIONS BASED ON STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT Before recommending approval or denial of a rezone the Planning Commission must develop its conclusions from the findings of fact based upon the criteria listed in P.M.C. 25.88.060. The criteria are as follows: (1) The proposal is in accord with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan. The goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan encourage the development of old and new neighborhoods into safe and enjoyable places to live. (2) The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental. The surrounding properties will not be detrimentally impacted by the proposed change because the land will be able to be developed with similar land uses at similar densities that are compatible with one another. (3) There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole. Rezoning the property to R-1 will allow it to develop with residences at a density consistent with the surrounding neighborhood and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 4 (4) Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from the proposal. There are no significant adverse impacts expected from this zone change, as such, no conditions are required at this time. (5) A concomitant agreement should be entered into between the City and the petitioner, and if so, the terms and conditions of such an agreement. The neighborhood contains a variety of housing and varying lots sizes. While the R-1 district permits lots sizes equal to those found in the neighborhood a concomitant agreement could be use to slightly enlarge the minimum lot size to 8,000 square feet. Recommendation MOTION: I move to close the hearing on the proposed Rezone and schedule deliberations, adoption of findings of fact, conclusions, and a recommendation to the City Council for the April 17, 2008 meeting. 5 • Item: Rezone Wernett and Road 32 Vicinity Applicant: All Pro Contracting N Map File #: Z 08-001 'Z. 00, 00 v Wi — n 0 01 0 SITE , • a _ MM4 _ Mai..

Phase 1 and 2 of the plat have been constructed (no houses have been built) and a Special Permit has been granted for a church to build in Phase 2. The church recently closed on the seven acre parcel. As the developer has begun the engineering design work for the remainder of the proposed plat site topography appears to dictate a need for a change in some of the streets. In other areas of the plat Staff has asked the developer to consider rearranging some lots to avoid awkward double frontages. Changing some of the street locations will affect the layout of the adjoining lots. PMC 26.24.100 permits adjustments to be made to plats provided the basic character of the plat is not affected. Plat adjustments can not be inconsistent with the plat approval conditions. The attached drawing identifies the adjustments proposed by the developer for the Northwest Commons preliminary plat. The overall character of the proposed plat remains intact. Open space (parks) areas, collector streets, connecting points to neighboring streets and the number of lots all remain the same. Staff is seeking Planning Commission review and comment on the proposed plat adjustments for a determination as to whether or not the adjustments can be considered minor enough to proceed to final design. 1 FRANKLIN PRELIMINARY PLAT OF COUNTY NOTHWEST COMMONS 3i5 i PASCO, WASHINGTON iI I�$ 1 � I` t 1 \ a ,# / 36e sag I T aas,. ! a$a, 4:K i 05 Located in Section 11,Township 9 North,Range 29 East,W.M., 1 E I j i Franklin County,Washington 1 UL I _�. 31£' E0 sTTRCt'Sit;s[.0 Nfl€T IxaYS / 296 197( 248 L^3k!2921393 294 2� 298 287 3 \�'P,l/ 36,\\ `\\ 194`295 ! 1'T _ In S64\ 38 .. ` 4� 143 F341 1 3H2 / j E 4 182 EOS i 200 i 149! `— e$9�287j 2Hfsl'c@ie8a2&31 28E' j9 «j I 8?i� 44II U4 i40 2432 M„�,::-,tll {_'�,� ,'2�j / 3 i 'f; _....._.: ' 1 410 264 /,,"".-- 296 `.' ..
