a public hearing to consider vacating a portion of Idaho Street.
Ill. FISCAL IMPACT:
NONE
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. The proposed resolution sets a hearing date to correct an error in past street
vacations in Longs First Addition dealing with Idaho Street.
B. When originally platted in September of 1889, Idaho Street extended the full
distance between East Lewis Street and East Clark Street. Through additional
platting in that same year much of Idaho Street between East Lewis and East
Clark Street was eliminated, In 1955 Ordinance #854 was adopted by the City
Council vacating all of Idaho Street lying cast of Block 134 of Pasco Land
Company's First Addition. Block 134 only extends north from Lewis Street about
35 feet. Consequently the vacation covered only about half of the remaining street
right-of-way. City mapping of Ordinance #854 incorrectly indicated the ordinance
vacated all of Idaho Street between East Lewis Street and East Clark Street. Based
on that mapping the south 10 feet of Clark Street was vacated in 2006,
inadvertently land locking the remaining unvacated portion of Idaho Street. To
correct the land locked situation surrounding Idaho Street a hearing needs to be
set to consider vacating the remaining portion of Idaho Street south of Clark
Street.
C. Public hearings to consider street vacations are to be set by resolution. The
earliest regular City Council meeting available for a public hearing, which
provides the statutory 20-day hearing notice, is August 2, 2010.

Ili. FISCAL IMPACT:
TV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The Washington Administrative Code requires that water utilities undertake
measures to protect water systems from contamination hazards posed by cross-
connections. The city has had a program for tracking and inspection of all high-
risk facilities (commercial/industrial/city-owned facilities) for the last 13 years.
B) Beginning in 2002, the city began a cost-sharing program designed to bring all
low-risk (residential irrigation) users into compliance. Under the cost-sharing
program, the city will install a double check-valve assembly in the meter box for
each service where city (potable) water is used for landscape irrigation purposes
in exchange for the property owner's payment of a $120 (for 3/4" meter; $140 for
I") installation fee (the cost of the average installation is currently estimated at
$600). Thereafter, the City will perform testing of the check valve, at least every
two years, for no cost.
C) Under the voluntary cost-sharing, program, approximately 2,000 property owners
have had the required check-valve assembly installed. Of the estimated 3,800
residential properties with cross-connections this represents 53% compliance.
D) In order to fully implement the requirements of the state, staff proposes to extend
the voluntary residential program for four additional years with deadlines for
individual compliance determined by geographical sector (see the attached
Ordinance map). Setting a deadline for compliance with cross connection
requirements will help property owners understand the law and encourage
compliance through the cost savings associated with the city program while
allowing staff to prioritize work and complete the installations within the next
four years. Property owners who have not made arrangements to be in
compliance by the respective deadlines can be subjected to discontinuation of
service and fines imposed by the Code Enforcement Board. Property owners who
choose not to participate in the voluntary program must arrange with a private
contractor to install the backflow assembly and for required ongoing testing.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Staff recommends adoption of the attached Ordinance with compliance deadlines
at one-year intervals extending through November 1, 2014.

ANALYSIS
A private bus service has been operating at 205 S. 4th Avenue for approximately
two years without the benefit of a City business license. This business was
recently sold to a new owner. The new owner applied for a business license and
was informed by staff that a license could not be issued for the van/bus service
until a special permit had been granted for the site. Pasco Municipal Code
Section 25.86.020 lists the applicant's transportation business as an
unclassified use requiring special permit review before locating in the city.
This request is similar to other private bus service applications that have been
reviewed by the Planning Commission in the past. Private transportation
services have operated with special permit approval at 115 N. 4th Avenue,
1320 N. 4th- Avenue, 702 W. Lewis Street and 1011 W. Sylvester Street. There is
also a bus/van service (Estrella Blanca) operating from the Pasco Multi-Modal
Terminal on North 15t Avenue.
The special permit application for the proposed transportation service indicated
scheduled service at 205 S. 4th Avenue would include one arrival and one
departure per day, seven days a week. The departing van leaves the site at 7:00
a.m. and the arrivals occur at 7:00 p.m. The applicant further emphasized to
staff that the scheduled arrival and departures are the Company's advertized
schedule. If no tickets have been sold, no stops are made in Pasco. During the
winter months when ridership is down vans do not arrive or depart from the
site on a daily business. Twenty-five passenger vans are the primary vehicles
used by Fronteras Travel to transport passengers to Yakima where a 51-
passenger bus provides connections to other states.
No changes to the site or building are planned as a result of the bus service to
and from the Fronteras Travel office at 205 S. 4th Avenue.
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
and comments made at the public hearing. The Planning Commission may
add additional findings as deemed appropriate.
1. The site is located in a C-3 (General Business) zone.
2. The site is located at 205 S. 40, Avenue.
3. There is currently a van ticket office located at 205 S. 41 Avenue,
4. The applicant has plans to continue to operate a regularly scheduled van
service from an existing ticket office at 205 S. 4th Avenue.
2
5. Scheduled departures will occur at 7:00 a.m. every day of the week.
6. Scheduled arrivals will occur at 7:00 p.m. every day of the week.
7. Twenty-five passenger vans are the primary vehicles used in the
proposed van service.
8. A twenty-five passenger van is 24,5 inches in length.
9. Private operator carriers, charter or transit buses, vans and similar
businesses are listed as unclassified uses in PMC 25.86.020.
10. Unclassified uses require review through the special permit process
before locating in the community.
11. Private bus/van companies have been permitted by special permit to
locate in other commercial zoning districts on N, 01 Avenue, Lewis Street
and Sylvester Street.
12. No alterations are planned for the office or site.
13. The site has a small on-site parking area that can be used for passenger
loading and unloading.
14. The on-site parking and loading area is shared with a wholesale produce
business.
15. The wholesale produce business utilizes large trucks for receiving and
delivering produce.
CONCLUSIONS BASED ON STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or deniall of a special permit, the Planning
Commission must draw its conclusion from the findings of fact based upon the
criteria listed in P.M.C, 25.86.060. The criteria and staff listed conclusions are
as follows.
1) Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, ob�iectives
and text of the Comprehensive Plan?
The site is designated by the Plan for commercial uses. The Plan also
encourages the efficient use of multi-modal transportation systems. The van
service would be considered part of the multi-modal transportation system.
2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure?
The site is developed with all municipal utility services. No building additions
or alterations are planned that would increase demands on the utility system.
Fourth Avenue is a designated arterial street and has been constructed to
arterial street standards to carry more traffic and heavier loads as compared to
local access streets. The addition of a van on 4th Avenue at off peak travel times
is not anticipated to generate significant demands on the surrounding street
system.
3
3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in
harmony with existing or intended character of the general vicinity?
The intended character of the area includes the development of various
commercial enterprises. The proposed use is a commercial activity. No changes
to the building or site are planned as a result of the proposed van service.
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
The location and height of the structures on-site will not change as a result of
the proposed van service. The property will continue to be used for commercial
purposes.
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 van service will create no more noise, vibrations, and fumes than
the semi-trucks and delivery trucks used by the produce business located on
the site.
6) Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and
developed where proposed, or in anyway will become a nuisance to uses
permitted in the district?
The on-street parking area directly in front of 205 South 4th Avenue is about 37
feet long. On-street parking of a passenger van along with the loading and
unloading of passengers and luggage on a public sidewalk may lead to the
creation of a nuisance situation twice a day. This problem can be resolved by
requiring all vans to load and unload on private property.
4
RECOMMENDED APPROVAL CONDITIONS

2. Scheduled van service shall be limited to one arrival and one departure
per day.

exiting the site.
5. No more than a 25-passenger van may be permitted at the site.
6. The applicant shall maintain all necessary governmental approvals and
licenses required for the operation of a transportation business.
7. The special permit shall be null and void if a City of Pasco business
license is not obtained by October 1, 2010.

(Griselda Lopez) (205 S. 4th Avenue) IMF# SP
10-015)
Chairman Samuel read the master file number and asked for comments from
staff.
Mr. McDonald explained the application and stated private bussing operations,
van companies and park-n-ride lots require a special permit prior to locating in
the city. McDonald explained that a number of private transportation companies
have been granted special permits in the past. The proposed bus service
provides transportation between Milton-Freewater and Yakima with connections
south to California. Most of the operations consist of utilizing fifteen passenger
vans, which run daily with stops in Walla Walla, College Place, Pasco,
Grandview, Sunnyside, etc until they reach Yakima. Passengers are then
transferred to a larger bus, which continues to the south. The van only stops in
Pasco if passengers are being picked up or dropped off at the Pasco location.
Their peak season normally is during the agricultural harvest season. The
proposal is similar to previous special permits granted in the city. Mr. McDonald
reviewed the balance of the written report for the benefit of the Planning
Commission.
Chairman Samuel asked for comments.
Commissioner Little mentioned the site that was approved on Sylvester Street
and repairs work that was also done on the site.
Chairman Samuel asked for comments from the applicant.
Betsy Vance, 722 Canyon, Richland, WA stated she was the property owner and
does not own the business.
Chairman Samuel asked Ms. Vance if she was representing the applicant.
Ms. Vance stated she has never met the applicant in person however, as the
property owner she shared her experience with the tenants of the building.
Chairman Samuel opened the public hearing, after three calls there was no
response. He stated it was unfortunate the applicant was not present and was
concerned if the applicant was agreeable to the condition related to the size of
the passenger vans/busses.
Commissioner Hay suggested the matter be tabled to allow the applicant to
attend the hearing.
Commissioner Little was in favor of tabling the item
Commissioner Hay asked if Mr. McDonald would notify the applicant of their
request,
Commissioner Hay moved, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, to table this
item until the May 20, 2010 meeting to allow the applicant to attend the hearing.

Jose Torres, represented the applicant.
Chairman Cruz asked Mr, Torres if he was comfortable with the permit
conditions as stated in the staff report,
Mr. Torres stated yes, and that he was not aware of the type of proceedings he
was attending. He was asked by Ms. Lopez to attend in her absence.
Chairman Cruz questioned if he understood there was a restriction for 25-
passenger and 51-passenger buses.
Mr. Torres stated yes.
Chairman Cruz explained the hearing was the time for Mr. Torres to speak out if
they felt the recommendation was constraining or if there could be an alternate
solution.
Mr. Torres stated there was a business located on the other side of the alley from
the bus office that operated semi-trucks. He stated they only use 25-passenger
busses. He did not understand why they would not be allowed to use their 25-
passenger buses when the other company parks semi-trucks on the site for
weeks at a time.
Chairman Cruz asked staff to address the concern.
Mr. McDonald stated the distribution company, which operates out of the
building to the south of the bus company is a permitted use in the zoning
district. Conditions and restrictions are generally applied to a business activity
though the special permit process.
Chairman Cruz asked for clarification on the staff recommendation on the size of
the bus/van. The staff report mentions restricting a 51-passenger bus but not a
25-passenger bus.
Mr. McDonald explained the condition was for a 15-passenger van so the
restriction included 25-passenger buses.
Commissioner Little asked if the applicant's normal practice was to use a 25-
passenger bus.
Mr. Torres stated yes. The passengers come in on the 51-passenger buses to
Yakima. From there they distribute passengers in the smaller 25-passenger
buses. The buses do not stay at the Pasco location; they only pick up and drop
off passengers.
Commissioner Little questioned if they unload passengers from the street.
Mr. Torres stated yes. They do not have any other option because the
distribution company trucks are often using the site.
Commissioner Neuenschwander asked staff if the restriction on 25-passenger
buses or 51-passenger buses meant on the property or on the road next to the
the business.
Mr. McDonald stated on the site or on the street.
Commissioner Neuenschwander stated there would be no allowance for a 25-
passenger bus in that particular area.
Mr, McDonald stated that is staff's recommendation.
Commissioner Little asked what type of hardship would this impose on the
business.
Mr, Torres stated a very big one; they would need to purchase smaller buses or
find a different way to accommodate their passengers.
Mr. McDonald explained that staff discussions with the applicant's application
indicated they use 15-passenger vans.
Mr. Torres stated they do not have 15-passenger vans in town. They use them in
Yakima and Los Angeles; but not in the Tri-Cities.
Chairman Cruz asked Mr, Torres to describe the difference between a 15-
passenger van and a 25-passenger bus.
Mr. Torres stated the only difference is the seating capacity. The 15-passenger
van only has four long seats and the 25-passenger bus has seating along the
edges of the bus.
Chairman Cruz asked if a 25-passenger bus looked like a rental car shuttle bus.
Mr. Torres stated yes.
Chairman Cruz asked staff if a 25-passenger van would be materially different
than a 15-passenger van,
Mr. McDonald asked Mr. Torres what the difference was in the length of the 15-
passenger van versus the 25-passenger van.
Mr. Torres stated he was unable to answer the question off the top of his head.
Mr. Torres stated the difference was in the width not length.
Mr. White recommended staff provide some research for this item.
Commissioner Neuenschwander asked if Mr. Torres provided service from the
site at this time.
Mr. Torres stated yes_
Commissioner Neuenschwander asked if the company was currently driving on
the site and then backing up.
Mr. Torres stated no. They currently pull up on the road and drop off passengers
on the sidewalk.
Commissioner Neuenschwander asked if they placed cones on the road.
Mr. Torres stated that he is not aware of that.
Chairman Cruz stated one of the recommended conditions restricted loading or
picking up passengers on 411, or Columbia Street; which would mean they could
only load and unload on the property.
Commissioner Little moved, seconded by Commissioner Hay, to table the hearing
to the June 17, 2010 meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, stated this item was tabled during the last
Planning Commission meeting to allow staff to research information related to
the 25-passenger vans that the applicant indicated they were using. The vans
are 24 i/2 feet long and they are similar to shuttle type vans used at airports. The
staff report had been modified to reference ehe use of 25-passenger vans instead
of 15-passenger vans.
Commissioner Hay asked if staff had discussed the report with the applicant.
Mr. McDonald stated the staff report had been mailed to the applicant.
Commissioner Neuenschwander mentioned condition number one stated the
special permit was personal to the applicant and she wanted to know if the
business was sold hover ownership was reviewed to determine the responsible
party.
Mr, McDonald stated the business license application provides ownership
information and when ownership changes the new owners name will appear on
the license application,
Chairman Cruz mentioned the open item during the last meeting was the size of
the bus and the representative was supportive of using the 25-passenger van.
Chairman Cruz opened the public hearing, after three calls the public hearing
was closed.
Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Kempf, moved to adopt the
findings of fact and conclusions therefrom as contained in the June 17, 210 staff
