POSITION MEMBERS PRESENT MEMBERS ABSENT No. 1 Michael Levin No. 2 Vacant No. 3 Andy Anderson No. 4 Alecia Greenaway No. 5 Joe Cruz No. 6 Vacant No. 7 Zahra Khan No. 8 Jana Kempf No. 9 Paul Hilliard APPEARANCE OF FAIRNESS: Chairman Cruz read a statement about the appearance of fairness for hearings on land use matters. Chairman Cruz asked if any Commission member had anything to declare. Chairman Cruz then asked the audience if there were any objections based on a conflict of interest or appearance of fairness questions regarding the items to be discussed this evening. There were no objections. 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, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, that the minutes dated July 26, 2012 be approved as mailed. The motion passed unanimously. OLD BUSINESS: A. Remand Rezone Rezone from an R-1 (Low-Density Residential) to an R-3 (Medium-Density Residential) (Pasco Family Housing) (MF# Z2012-001) -1- Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Dave McDonald, City Planner, gave a brief history of this rezone application. The request is from an R-1 (Low-Density Residential) and C-1 (Retail Business) to an R-3 (Medium-Density Residential) zoning designation. The Planning Commission initially recommended approval of the rezone to R-3 with a Concomitant Agreement limiting access from North Charles Avenue. The City Council then remanded the matter back to the Planning Commission to consider the impacts of multi-story structures on the properties to the East side of Charles Avenue. As a result of deliberations, a recommendation was returned to the City Council again with a Concomitant Agreement restricting access and limiting structures to 25 feet in height. The City Council again returned the item to the Planning Commission to look at the single-story homes and to develop a recommendation that would relate more to the character of the neighborhood being single-family homes. Mr. McDonald referenced items the Planning Commission needed to consider during the deliberations, such as building heights, setbacks, buffers, density and traffic. Mr. McDonald commented that there were some changes since the original report along with some additional findings of fact. Also provided were alternate motions to consider. Chairman Cruz stated that this has been a challenge for the Planning Commission and noted that the City Council debated on this item and could not come to a consensus and that he was open to discussion on the matter. Commissioner Anderson stated that he was comfortable with the recommendation that was passed in June. He is concerned about too many restrictions within the zoning and what that could lead to. Commissioner Hilliard agreed with Commissioner Anderson and added that the motion that went forward was to the guidelines of what works for the City. Commissioner Kempf also agreed and added that many neighborhoods have things that might be "unsightly" but they can be dealt with. Commissioner Levin asked if the issue was about Charles Avenue and height restrictions. Chairman Cruz answered that the primary concern are the structures that would be built adjacent to Charles Avenue and being able to see across the street. Commissioner Levin asked if the applicant was at the meeting. Mr. McDonald answered, no; the applicant was not at the meeting. They showed up the previous week in which the meeting was cancelled. Even if the applicant had showed, this item is not an open record hearing so it is only available for deliberations by the Planning Commission. -2- Chairman Cruz recapped the item stating that the Planning Commission received a lot of feedback from the public hearing. The biggest concern was over 35 foot tall buildings. The Planning Commission decided that 25 feet is consistent with the surrounding zoning and it unifies the site plan. Zoning to the west gets more industrial. Typically higher structures are another buffer between the more industrial areas and residential areas. He is comfortable with the recommendation the Planning Commission previously sent to the City Council. Commissioner Levin asked if the neighbors that showed up to the public hearing had any problems. Chairman Cruz answered that their main concern was over tall building heights. Commissioner Anderson moved, seconded by Commissioner Levin, to adopt the additional findings of fact and modified conclusions therefrom as contained in the staff memo of August 16, 2012. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Anderson moved, seconded by Commissioner Levin, based on the findings of fact and conclusions therefrom, the Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve the rezone from C-1 (Retail Business) and R-1 (Low-Density Residential) to R-3 (Medium-Density Residential), with a concomitant agreement prohibiting access to the property from Charles Avenue, and limiting building heights to 25 feet. The motion passed unanimously. B. Special Permit Location of a church in a C-1 District (Bethel Church) (MF# SP2012-012) Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Shane O'Neill, Planner I, referenced the site plan, conditions and explained staff had nothing to add unless the Commission had questions. There were no questions or comments from the Planning Commission. Commissioner Kempf moved, seconded by Commissioner Hilliard, to adopt the findings of facts and conclusions therefrom as contained in the August 16, 2012 staff report. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Kempf moved, seconded by Commissioner Hilliard, based on findings and facts and conclusions therefrom the Planning Commission recommend the City Council grant a special permit to the Bethel Church for location of a church in Suites 100, 110, 116 and 118 at 5202 Outlet Drive with the conditions as contained in the August 16, 2012 staff report. The motion passed unanimously. C. Special Permit Location of a church in a C-1 District (World Life Christian Center) IMF# SP2012-013) Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. -3- Shane O'Neill, Planner I, referenced the site plan, conditions, and explained that staff had nothing to add unless the Commission had questions. There were no questions or comments from the Planning Commission. Commissioner Hilliard moved, seconded by Commissioner Levin, to adopt findings of fact and conclusions as contained in the August 16, 2012 staff report. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Hilliard moved, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, based on the findings of fact and conclusions that the Planning Commission recommend the City Council grant a special permit to World Life Christian Center for the location of a church at 5252 Outlet Drive with the conditions as contained in the August 16, 2012 staff report. The motion passed unanimously. D. Special Permit Location of an Elementary School in an R-S-1 District (Pasco School District) IMF# SP2012- 014 Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Dave McDonald, City Planner, referenced the site plan, elevations and explained staff had nothing to add unless the Commission had questions. There were no questions from the Planning Commission. Commissioner Anderson moved, seconded by Commissioner Kempf, to adopt findings of fact and conclusions therefrom as contained in the August 16, 2012 staff report. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Anderson moved, seconded by Commissioner Kempf, based on the findings of fact and conclusions therefrom the Planning Commission recommend the City Council grant a Special Permit to the Pasco School District for the location of an elementary school at the southwest corner of Powerline Road 8s Road 52 (parcel #116-170-030) with conditions as listed in the August 16, 2012 staff report. The motion passed unanimously. PUBLIC HEARINGS: A. Special Permit Location of a church in an R-1 District (Manuel Estrada) (MF# SP2012-0151 Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Shane O'Neill, Planner I, discussed the special permit application for the church, Lirio De Los Valles, to locate in an R-1 District. The site is zoned R-1, surrounded completely by residential uses. The church has been on site for approximately 92 years, built in 1920. The site contains two attached structures; the primary is the -4- church and to the south is a vacant home. It is the applicant's request to occupy that home. Mr. O'Neill explained approval conditions in the staff report including; paving a gravel area for parking, landscaping and keeping a strip of dirt behind the building dust free. Since this church has been at this location for so long and in operation, it is a safe assumption to say it operates in harmony with the surrounding community. Limited parking is one concern. A certain amount of parking is available on the street. Chairman Cruz asked roughly how many people attend the church. Dave McDonald, City Planner, answered that they could have roughly 90 people in the sanctuary. This church was built at a time when people walked to church so it was built without parking. Chairman Cruz asked if there was on-street parking on both sides of the street. Mr. McDonald answered that there was parking on both sides of the street. Commissioner Hilliard asked if there were any concerns about storm water since it was mentioned in the staff report. Mr. O'Neill answered that there were no real concerns over the storm water. All storm water needs to be contained onsite. Manual Estrada, 604 W. Shoshone Street, spoke on behalf of his special permit application with the assistance of a translator from the audience. Gordon Comfort, 5990 Thynewood Loop, West Richland, WA translated for Mr. Estrada. Mr. Estrada stated that there will not be many people at the church. He is hoping that in order to get the permit he would not be required to do the parking immediately. Chairman Cruz answered that parking and landscaping improvement will need to be completed by October 31, 2014. Mr. Estrada asked in order to do that work, does he have to come back to the Planning Commission to get permission. He would like to take off part of the yard in the two years. Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, for the yard, that would be returned to the Planning Commission. Mr. Estrada asked without the parking lot, would he be able to use the church and the house the way the parking currently is for up to two years. Chairman Cruz answered yes, for up to two years, however entrances and restrooms would need to meet ADA standards prior to occupancy. -5- Mr. Comfort asked if it would be the house or the church that has to meet ADA standards. Mr. White answered that it would be the building occupied by the public, which is the church. Mr. Estrada stated that the church doors are already large enough for wheelchairs. Chairman Cruz stated that the bathrooms, ramps and exits from the church would still need to be up to ADA standards. Mr. McDonald explained the number of exits depends on the occupancy and size of the building. He will need to get a building permit for each of these items and submit a plan on how he will bring the items up to code. Mr. McDonald stated that many of the older churches in Pasco have the same problem of parking but there haven't been complaints from the neighborhoods. Commissioner Levin moved, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, to close the public hearing and schedule deliberations, the adoption of findings of fact and development of a recommendation for City Council for the September 20, 2012 meeting. The motion passed unanimously. B. Special Permit Location of an Elementary School in a C-3 (General Business) District (Pasco School District) MF# SP2012-017) Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, discussed this special permit for an elementary school at the intersection of Spokane Street and N. California Avenue. The site is zoned C-3 (General Business). The School District has made tentative plans to locate a new elementary school adjacent to the Whittier School because they own the property, they can get cost efficiencies and economies of scale by sharing the playground and it brings down the cost of the bond that they will be asking for this coming Spring. The staff report presents concerns with locating the school in a Commercial District and the impacts it might have on the development potential of the adjacent commercial properties. Two conditions in the staff report address a traffic study, given the fact that it would be nearly doubling a traffic generator in the neighborhood. The School District would be required to construct or provide the improvements that the traffic study might identify. Kim Marsh, 1215 W. Lewis Street, spoke on behalf of the Pasco School District. The site offers economic advantages to the School District, utilities are available close to the site and offers operational advantages in the future in terms of grounds-keeping and maintenance with other schools being close by. With a bond successfully passing -6- in 2013 the School District would be starting construction in 2014 with occupancy in Fall 2015. Commissioner Anderson asked Mr. Marsh why the School District would like to locate another school on the east side of Pasco when the rapid growth seems to be on the west side of Pasco. Mr. Marsh responded that the School District has special permits for two other elementary schools that would relieve the west side. The proposed school in question would do a couple of things; take some of the load off of Robinson Elementary School and Whittier Elementary and it would allow sixth-graders to be taken out of Ochoa Middle School. Chairman Cruz asked the applicant if there was anything in the staff report that was a cause for concern. Mr. Marsh answered that there was not. Commissioner Hilliard moved, seconded by Commissioner Levin, to close the public hearing and schedule deliberations, the adoptions of findings of fact and development of a recommendation for City Council for the September 20, 2012 meeting. The motion passed unanimously. C. Special Permit Location of a cell phone tower (Verizon Wireless) (MF# SP2012-0181 Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Shane O'Neill, Planner I, explained the proposed cell phone tower would be located at the northwest corner of Broadmoor Storage. Pasco Municipal Code requires special permit review for all cellular towers in the C-1 Zone as well as other zones if they are within 500 feet of residential zones. The proposed cell phone tower would be 460 feet from the nearest homes directly to the north. All of the cellular equipment is proposed to be located in an equipment room in the existing building so there would be no visual impact from an equipment cabinet. Commissioner Hilliard asked if they could make the antennae taller years from now without coming back to the Planning Commission for a permit. Mr. O'Neill answered that a special permit would be required if they proposed to increase the height of the tower beyond 100 feet. The current special permit application would allow up to 100 feet for maximum height. Julie Cope, 4111 South Napa Street, Spokane, WA spoke on behalf of Verizon Wireless. She explained the background on the choice of the location for the proposed site. They purposely chose to locate it where it would be least visually impacted. Their report requests 80 feet in height, however they might use the 90-100 foot spots. It may limit co-location of possibly one other carrier if the tower was lower. They would prefer to paint it tan to blend in with the surrounding environment. -7- Commissioner Levin asked what options they have in terms of appearance of the tower. Ms. Cope answered that they can make it look like a flag pole, however that would be a really large flag and they would lose capacity. Dave McDonald, City Planner, asked the Planning Commission for comment about the proposed design of the cell phone tower. He also asked Ms. Cope if there would be a red light at the top of the tower for the FAA. Ms. Cope answered that they did a preliminary report with Towair and that report did not require a red light at the top. She stated that she will provide staff with a copy of that report. Mr. McDonald stated that to proceed to the permit stage there will need to be a copy of that in order to get the building permit. Chairman Cruz asked the applicant if she had any problems or concerns with the tentative approval conditions in the staff report. Ms. Cope answered that she had none. Mr. McDonald asked if the Planning Commission would like to modify the approval conditions to require the antennae to be enclosed rather than out in the open. Ms. Cope clarified that they just make one larger pole to go around the antennae, not separate casings. Commissioner Hilliard asked what the dimensions will be at the base. Ms. Cope answered that the cellular towers are typically 5 feet at the base. With an interior mount the tower would be 3-3 1/2 feet at the top. Chairman Cruz stated that the proposed cellular tower is at least 25% smaller than larger cellular towers. Commissioner Hilliard stated that with that size he didn't see an issue with what has been already proposed. Mr. McDonald responded that it was something staff thought should be looked into. The cellular tower by the TRAC is clean and the antennas are inside the tower. Chairman Cruz stated that he did not have a problem with the proposed design due to its small size. He would like to see the applicant move forward with the process. Commissioner Kempf commented that as a resident herself who would drive past this tower daily, she does not have any problems with the way it is proposed. -8- Commissioner Hilliard moved, seconded by Commissioner Kempf, to close the hearing on the proposed cellular tower and initiate deliberations and schedule adoption of findings of fact, conclusions and a recommendation to the City Council for the September 20, 2012 meeting. The motion passed unanimously. D. Rezone Rezone from BP (Business Park) to C-3 (General Business) (Bill Dolsen) (MF# Z2012- 003 Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Dave McDonald, City Planner, discussed the rezone from a BP (Business Park) to C-3 (General Business). The applicant is seeking to relocate an existing distribution facility that is currently located at the corner of Road 34 and Henry Street. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for commercial uses but does not say exactly what commercial zoning should be applied to the property. That determination is made through the rezone process. The proposed property was annexed into the City approximately 23 years ago along with the properties to the south. It took years for the area to develop into what is there today. The surrounding neighborhood developed in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. The property the applicant is interested in has remained vacant all this time, bypassed by development for one reason or another. The applicant's current business utilizes 14-16 trucks to make deliveries throughout the community. Eight of these trucks are designed or look like UPS trucks and they service vending machines throughout the Tri-Cities area. They also have 6-8 large "semi-type" of trucks that provide delivery services to the community. The only way into the property is through 26th and Court Street. There is a traffic signal at that location. The trucks would be going through that intersection at off- peak times. Staff consulted with the Engineering Department with respect to the number or trucks and the configuration of that intersection. According to the Engineering Department there should not be any problems with trucks going through that intersection. It is important to keep in mind the applicant might decide not to use the location and any other individual that had a distribution type of facility would be able to locate on this property hence the need for a concomitant agreement. The site could also be developed for a large grocery store without a rezone. Large grocery stores have numerous delivery trucks throughout the day and what would come with the grocery store that doesn't come with the distribution center is all of the customers which could generate up to 4,000 vehicles per day. A grocery store could impact the neighborhood significantly. Staff suggested the Planning Commission consider a buffer along the eastern edge of the proposed site near the residential zoning, either through construction of a tall wall or a berm with a shorter wall. In addition, landscaping and a fence would help screen the property. -9- Bill Dolsen, PO Box 1726, Yakima, WA, President of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Yakima-Tri-Cities, spoke on behalf of his rezone application. He gave a brief history of their business and growth in the Tri-Cities. Mr. Dolsen stated that they have outgrown their space and need to relocate. They looked at multiple sites in the Tri- Cities and prefer the proposed site. Chairman Cruz asked the applicant if he had any issues with the conditions included in the staff report, including the buffers to reduce the intensity of C-3 uses and designing the facility so that the truck concentration would be in the rear of the facility, closer to Highway 395 rather than closer to the residential area on the east. Mr. Dolsen answered that he is unsure of the truck location. They are hiring an engineering company to help layout the facility so they can get the trucks in and out easily. Commissioner Kempf asked the applicant if the building type is going to be a permanent structure. Mr. Dolsen answered that it would be a permanent structure. Chairman Cruz stated that with the restrictions in the conditions he did not have an issue with this rezone. Commissioner Anderson moved, seconded by Commissioner Levin, to close the hearing on the proposed rezone and initiate deliberations and schedule adoption of findings of fact, conclusions and a recommendation to the City Council for the September 20, 2012 meeting. The motion passed unanimously. E. Rezone Rezone from CR (Regional Commercial) to C-1 (Retail Business) (General Advertising Agency) (MF# Z2012-004) Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, discussed this proposed rezone from CR (Regional Commercial) to C-1 (Retail Business) for the property located at 3921 W. Court Street. The site was zoned to CR in 2003 with conditions as outlined in the staff report. The applicant wishes to rezone the property from CR to C-1 to enable them to apply for a special permit application to allow a donation-based thrift store. Mr. White pointed out the staff report contained an analysis and discussion of the criteria that the City requires for rezones, consistent with PMC 25.88 and a proposed listing of staff findings and conclusions. The report explains the rezone is not expected to have adverse impacts on the neighborhood because the site has been used for commercial purposes in the past and the neighborhood has been built up with proper traffic and utility infrastructure in place. Staff also does not believe a concomitant agreement is necessary, given the fact that the Planning Commission has the opportunity to review the thrift store proposal through the special permit process. -10- James Wade, 1720 Horn Avenue, Richland, WA, of NAI Tri-Cities represented his client, Alex Kim of Riverview Plaza. Mr. Kim has strong support for the rezone to C-1 as well as the next item on the agenda, the special use permit for a donation-based thrift store. The application for this rezone was made due to staff recommendation as the best option that will allow conformity with zoning guidelines and would be complementary to the surrounding business community. The requested rezone and special use permit will allow a current Pasco retailer to expand their operations while redeveloping a 76,000 square foot location that will generate over 30 jobs, increase the tax base and produce expected sales of $3-$4 million annually and consume a storefront that has been vacant for many years. Commissioner Levin moved, seconded by Commissioner Kempf, to close the public hearing and schedule deliberations, the adoption of findings of fact, and development of a recommendation for City Council for the September 20, 2012 Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously. F. Special Permit Goodwill in a C-1 (Retail Business) District (Goodwill Industries) (MF# SP2O12-0191 Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Rick White, Community 8v Economic Development Director, explained this special permit application and that it is contingent on a rezone application approval. The applicant is applying for a special permit to operate a donation-based thrift store if the rezone application passes changing the zoning from CR (Regional Commercial) to C-1. The Staff report also noted a number of concerns with donation-based thrift stores however those concerns were mostly developed through the observation of site management and design issues related to existing thrift stores. Staff believes the conditions contained in the staff report adequately address those site management and design issues. A possible additional condition that may be considered by the Planning Commission is shielding the lighting so that spillage does not occur on adjacent properties. Gordon Comfort, 5990 Thynewood Loop, West Richland, WA spoke on behalf of this application. He concurred with the staff report and did not have issues with any of the conditions. Todd Lawson, 22 John Street, Seattle, WA clarified that the address is 3521 W. Court Street instead of 3921 W. Court Street. Mr. White stated for the record that the Planning Commissioners were given pictorials provided by the applicant for review. Commissioner Anderson moved, seconded by Commissioner Kempf, to close the public hearing and schedule deliberations, the adoption of findings of fact, and development of a recommendation for City Council for the September 20, 2012 Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously. -11- With no further discussion or business, the Planning Commission was adjourned at 8:36 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Dave McDonald, City Planner -12- REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION MASTER FILE NO: SP2012-015 APPLICANT: Manuel Estrada HEARING DATE: 8-22-12 605 N 5th Ave ACTION DATE: 9-20-12 Pasco, WA 99301 BACKGROUND REQUEST FOR SPECIAL PERMIT: Location of a Church in an R-1 District 1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: Parcel # 112-054-107: Block 9, Lots 1 & 2, Gerry's Addition; General Location: 605 N 5th Ave. Property Size: Approximately 0.16 acres 2. ACCESS: The site has access from an alley connecting with 5th Avenue 3. UTILITIES: The site is served by municipal water and sewer. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The property is currently zoned R-1 (Low Density Residential). NORTH: R-3 - Single Family Residences SOUTH: R-1 - Apartments and Single Family Residences EAST: R-3 - Single Family Residences WEST: R-1 - Single Family Residences 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The site is designated in the Plan for future residential uses. The Plan does not specifically address churches, but elements of the Plan encourage the promotion of orderly development including the development of zoning standards for off-street parking and other development standards. 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 Non-Significance (DNS) has been issued for this project under WAC 197- 11-158. 1 ANALYSIS The application involves the use of an existing church for church activities. The structure in question was built in 1920 and has been used for church activities for the past 92 years. Past practices typically linked special permit approvals to the applicant and not the land or specific parcel(s) involved. In this case Manuel Estrada has recently purchased 605 N. 5th Avenue with the intent of operating a church. The church in question has been part of the neighborhood's character for nearly 100 years. The surrounding residential and commercial development has occurred with the church present. The neighborhood is now fully developed with homes and commercial businesses. The site contains an attached residence which has historically been used as living quarters for the church pastor. On site living quarters is a component common to churches. The rear portion of the site, abutting the alley, contains an unimproved gravel parking area. This 40' x 50' area provides the only off-street parking available to the church; the area has the potential to provide up to five (5) parking stalls. Permit approval is conditioned on hard-surfacing and striping the parking area. 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. Churches are unclassified uses requiring review through the special permit process prior to locating or expanding in any zoning district. 2. The proposed church site is zoned R-1. 3. The proposed site is located at 605 North 5th Avenue. 4. The site contains two attached structures. 5. The site was originally developed as a church. 6. The church was constructed in the year 1920. 7. The church has existed on the site for 92 years. 8. The church is 3,871 square feet in area. 2 9. Churches are classified as an "A" occupancy under the International Building Code. 10. A gravel parking area is located on the south side of the site, adjacent to the alley and contains space for approximately 5 parked vehicles. Access to the parking is from an existing public alley. CONCLUSIONS BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF FACT Before recommending approval or denial of a special permit the Planning Commission must develop findings of fact from which to draw its conclusion based upon the criteria listed in P.M.C. 25.86.060 and determine whether or not the proposal: (1) Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives and text of the Comprehensive Plan? The Plan does not specifically address churches, but elements of the Plan encourage the promotion of orderly development including the development of zoning standards for off-street parking and other development standards. (2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure? The church is unlikely to place additional demands on public infrastructure beyond increased passenger vehicle traffic. Church activities place a negligible demand on city sewer and water facilities. Churches are generally used for a few hours on Sundays and during the evening in on week days. (3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with existing or intended character of the general vicinity? The proposed church has been one of the features of the general vicinity for 92 years. Residents and occupants of the surrounding homes and businesses are accustomed to the church activities. Continuation of the church use is unlikely to affect the character of the neighborhood in a negative way. The church has coexisted in harmony with the neighborhood for many years. Churches are typically located in or near residential areas and often add to the character of the general vicinity in which they are located. (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 3 The location and height of the existing church has not discouraged the development of permitted uses on surrounding properties. The presence of churches in residential neighborhoods in other parts of the community has not discouraged potential residential development or impaired the value of residential properties. In addition, the surrounding neighborhood can be considered "fully developed". (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 church will generate no more dust, vibrations, flashing lights or fumes than would be expected by permitted residential uses of the zoning district. Traffic generated by the church will occur mostly on Sunday mornings when neighborhood traffic is minimal. Churches are generally used infrequently, two or three days a week, and generate traffic during off peak times such as on Sunday mornings and in evenings during the week. The current unimproved parking lot could be a source of a slight amount of dust in the neighborhood. Unimproved parking lots also add to the collection of rocks and dirt in city streets which ends up in street drainage systems. This objectionable condition can be remedied by causing the parking lot to be paved. (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? Past history of church operations within the City has shown they do not endanger public health or safety and are generally not nuisance generators. Churches are generally accepted uses in or near residential neighborhoods.

(Southeast corner of the intersection of Spokane St. and N. California Ave.) 1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: Blocks 164, 165, 167 & 168 Pasco Land Company's First Addition together with vacated adjacent rights-of-way and Block 1, Frey's Addition together with vacated adjacent rights-of-way General Location: Southeast corner of N. California Avenue and Spokane Street adjacent to the Whittier Elementary School Site. Property Size: Approximately 8 acres 2. ACCESS: The site is adjacent to the Whittier Elementary School Site, with direct access off of California Avenue, Spokane Street, and Broadway Boulevard. 3. UTILITIES: All utilities are available to the site. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned C-3 (General Commercial) and is vacant. The property to the north, is zoned C-3 and is mostly undeveloped, with an office to the northeast; lands to the west are also zoned C-3 and are developed with heavy commercial uses; the lands to the south are zoned C-3 and are vacant. The property to the east is zoned C-3 and R-1 and is developed with the Pasco Family Housing apartment complex (R-3) and the Whittier Elementary School (R-1). 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Public/quasi-public, with the exception of the southwest parcel along California and Broadway Boulevard, which is designated for Commercial. Goal CF-5 suggests adequate provisions should be made for educational facilities located throughout the urban growth area. Policy CF-5-A encourages the appropriate location and design of schools throughout the community. 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 Non-significance (DNS) has been issued for this project under WAC 197- 11-158. DISCUSSION The site in question is adjacent to an apartment complex built in 2010 and an elementary school (Whittier), which was built in 1997, and expanded with portable units in 1998 and 1999. Pasco currently has eleven elementary schools (the School District has one additional elementary school [Edwin Markham] outside the Pasco UGA) with one approved recently for construction. With the recent growth in population (Pasco's population has more than doubled in size since 1997) and student enrollment, the School District needs to construct several elementary schools. Elementary school enrollment in Pasco has increased by an average of about 360 new students per year for the last decade. This year the elementary enrollment increased by over 400 new students. The State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction estimates Pasco's elementary enrollment will increase by 3,157 students over the next 6 years. This continued growth in school enrollment will create the need for additional elementary schools. To address part of the need for additional school space the District is proposing to develop the site in question with a 69,000 square foot two-story, elementary school similar to Maya Angelou and Virgie Robinson. The school will accommodate between 700-800 students and will contain public parking and bus loading off of N. California Avenue. The School District wishes to build on this particular site because it owns the land, and it is otherwise costly and difficult to assemble the necessary acreage for a school (typically around 13 acres), and because they can take advantage of economies of scale by utilizing a shared playground. The proposed site is partially developed with street improvements and utilities located in all surrounding streets. The School District will be responsible for installing sidewalks. With respect to traffic-related issues a signal warrant test will be needed to determine when a signal should be installed at the intersections of Spokane and Broadway with Oregon Avenue, as well as crosswalk signalization between the school sites and the City Park to the south. The side-by-side schools will approximately double the current traffic flows in the area. Most of the schools in Pasco are located in residential zoning districts. By contrast, this proposed school would be built in a commercial zone, 2 surrounded by either vacant land or commercial development to the north, west, and south, and an apartment complex and another elementary school to the east. It is possible that a heavy commercial use, such as a trucking company or heavy equipment yard may not want to locate near an elementary school for liability reasons. This may impact commercial values of adjacent and nearby lands; however the construction of schools in commercial zones has not historically discouraged development on or diminished the value of nearby commercial properties. As an example, Western States Equipment completed a major expansion in 2007 adjacent to Ochoa Middle School, six years after the school was built. Access to the site is limited to the northeast with undeveloped rights of way at Wehe Avenue and Spokane Street, but otherwise unimpeded, due to access via Broadway Boulevard and Oregon 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 within the Pasco Urban Growth Boundary. 2. The site is within the City limits of Pasco. 3. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for Public/quasi-public, with the exception of the southwest parcel along California and Broadway Boulevard, which is designated for Commercial. 4. The site is located in a C-3 zone. 5. The site contains approximately 8 acres of land. 6. Elementary schools generally require 13 acres, which includes room for shared park facilities. 7. A 10-acre City park (Highland) is developed to the south and east of the site. 8. The school site is separated from the park by Broadway Boulevard. 9. Under the current zoning heavy commercial uses could be developed on the site as well as on adjacent and nearby properties. 10. Half of the Ochoa Middle School site is zoned C-3. 3 11. Schools are conditional land uses in all zones and require review through the special permit process prior to permitting for construction. 12. Comprehensive Plan Goal CF-5 suggests that adequate provisions should be made for the location of educational facilities throughout the urban growth area. 13. The site is currently vacant. 14. The site is owned by the Pasco School District. 15. Sewer and water utilities are stubbed to the site. 16. The site is located at the Southeast corner of N. California Avenue and Spokane Street adjacent to the Whittier Elementary School Site 17. City development standards require off-site street and utility improvements to be constructed or installed concurrently with site development. 18. Off-site street improvements include but are not limited to street construction and paving, installation of curb gutter and sidewalk (7' wide), street lights, handicapped ramps, signage, lane striping, street drainage, traffic signals, speed-reduction modifications, and fire hydrants. 19. Pasco's population has doubled since 1997. 20. The Pasco School District enrollment has grown from 8,048 in 1997 to 15,633 in 2012. 21. The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction estimates Pasco's elementary school enrollment will increase by another 3,157 by 2017. 22. The construction of schools in commercial zones has not discouraged development on nearby commercial properties or diminished the value of said properties. 23. No sports fielding lighting will be constructed with the proposed elementary school. 4 CONCLUSIONS BASED ON STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT Before recommending approval or denial 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, objectives and text of the Comprehensive Plan? The proposed use supports the following plan policies or goals: CF-5 suggests adequate provisions be made for educational facilities throughout the Urban Growth Area. Transportation and Utility policies support city standards that require the extension of streets and utilities in conjunction with development. To be in accord with the Comprehensive Plan the proposed elementary school development would also need to include the development of adjoining streets and utilities in order to accommodate the increased traffic flows as well as augmented water, power, and sewer usage for twice as many students. (2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure? The location of an elementary school on the proposed site will not adversely affect public infrastructure. (3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with existing or intended character of the general vicinity? The proposed elementary school has been designed with generous yard setbacks, landscaping, screening of mechanical equipment and a pitched roof line to moderate the school's height. This development will be less intense than the surrounding uses, which are currently, and will likely continue to be heavy commercial in nature. Heavy commercial uses generally include offices, showrooms, warehouses, manufacturing and repair shops, equipment and material storage, and semi-truck traffic. As the school fronts C-3 Zoning on three sides the development of the school in this location may create compatibility issues with the permitted uses of the C-3 Zone. (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 construction of schools in commercial zones has not discouraged development on nearby commercial properties or diminished the value of said properties (The Western States Cat property is an example). 5 However, as mentioned above, heavy commercial uses generally include offices, showrooms, warehouses, manufacturing and repair shops, equipment and material storage, and semi-truck traffic. As the school fronts C-3 Zoning on three sides the development of the school in this location may create compatibility issues with the permitted uses of the C-3 Zone. (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? Experience has shown that schools within Pasco generate few complaints from neighbors. Elementary schools typically are not a source of dust, fumes, vibrations or flashing lights. The proposed school could generate up to 940 vehicle trips per day. During weekends, the summer break, and other break periods very little traffic will be generated. Few, if any elementary school activities would be more objectionable than heavy commercial activities currently allowed at 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 elementary school will be constructed to meet all requirements of the International Building Code, the Fire Code, the Plumbing Code, all other construction codes and state regulations pertaining to middle school construction. The building will be required to have fire-rated corridors, area separation walls, sufficient exiting and fire sprinkler systems to ensure the safety of the public. The construction of sidewalks and street improvements may address traffic safety issues. As mentioned previously, developing a second school translates into approximately double the traffic impact to the site and to adjacent streets. Consequently, a traffic study needs to be done in conjunction with this application. PROPOSED APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1. The special permit shall apply to Parcels No. 112096027, 113503085, 112096018, 112096045, and 112096036 (or their successors as parcels are joined and parcel numbers reassigned). 2.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION MASTER FILE NO: SP2012-018 APPLICANT: Verizon Wireless c/o Julie Cope HEARING DATE: 8-22-2012 P.O. Box 8436 ACTION DATE: 9-20-2012 Spokane, WA 99203 BACKGROUND REQUEST: SPECIAL PERMIT: Location of a Cellular Antenna Tower in a C-1 (Retail Business) Zone 1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: Parcel #115-442-012: Lot 3, Binding Site Plan 2005-08 General Location: 9335 Sandifur Parkway Property Size: The parcel is approximately 4.4 acres 2. ACCESS: The site is accessed from Sandifur Parkway. 3. UTILITIES: All municipal utilities currently serve the site. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is currently zoned C-1 (Retail Business) and contains a mini-storage facility. Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: NORTH: C-1 - Vacant SOUTH: C-1 - Office & Vacant EAST: C-1 - Vacant WEST: C-1 - Vacant 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for Commercial uses. Goal OF-2 suggests the City ought to maintain land use flexibility in regard to placement of infrastructure for public and private utilities. Policy OF-2-A encourages the sound management of all energy and communication utilities through coordination and cooperation dealing with construction of such facilities. Policy OF-2-B encourages the placement of utility substations which are necessary for the surrounding neighborhood. 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 Non-Significance (DNS) has been issued for this project under WAC 197- 11-158. 1 ANALYSIS Verizon Wireless is requesting special permit approval to locate a cellular antenna tower in the northwest corner of the Broadmoor Storage site on Sandifur Parkway. The requested tower is proposed to be 100' in height. Height is the primary factor necessitating special permit review. The C-1 zone permits structures to reach a maximum height of thirty five (35) feet; the proposed cell tower exceeds that limit by sixty five (65) feet. The C-1 zone also contains a provision allowing commercial buildings to exceed the 35 foot height limitation by special permit approval. Verizon intends to lease the northwest corner of the main Broadmoor Storage building and a small portion of land outside of the building immediately adjacent to the building (see attached site plan, pages A-1, A-1 8s A-2 of the attached plans). Commonly, cellular providers locate the equipment cabinets within a fenced area surrounding the base of a pole; in this case the interior equipment room in the mini-storage facility will be used to house the ground- level equipment. Locating equipment cabinets within a building may reduce/eliminate any potential noise impacts generated by the equipment and eliminate visual impacts of the equipment to nearby properties. Land to the north, east and west of Broadmoor Storage is zoned C-1 (Retail Business) and is currently vacant. Residences nearest the proposed cell site are within Mediterranean Villas on Majestia Lane located 470 feet to the north. The homes are attached single-family homes. The physical separation between the homes and the tower should help mitigate visual impacts of the tower on residents of nearby existing and future homes. Franklin PUD power lines transect the site in a north-south orientation. The poles supporting the transmission lines are approximately 55 feet tall; located at 250 foot intervals. The site currently contains two poles. The proposed cell tower would be 45 feet taller than the existing power poles. The power line with 55 foot tall power poles also extends north/south through Mediterranean Villas and Broadmoor Estates. The elevation of the site is approximately 480 feet above sea-level. For reference, the Road 68 area is at 520' while the Columbia River is at 340'. The water tanks on Sandifur are 158 feet tall and at 520' elevation. The top of the tanks are at roughly 678' in elevation. The top of the proposed tower will be at 580' above sea-level. In other words, the top of the proposed tower will be 98 feet lower in elevation than the top of the water tanks on Sandifur Parkway which can be seen from many vistas throughout the Tri-Cities. Painting the proposed cell tower/monopole to blend into the sky and existing building may help disrupt the visual impacts on properties in the vicinity by 2 blending it into the surrounding features. If constructed, it is not likely that the proposal will negatively affect any permitted uses in the vicinity. 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 C-1 (Retail Business). 2. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for Commercial uses. 3. The site contains a mini-storage facility. 4. The site is 4.4 acres in area. S. The proposed tower location is 460 feet away from the nearest residence. 6. All municipal utilities currently serve the site. 7. Properties surrounding the proposed cellular site are all zoned C-1 (Retail Business). 8. There are two PUD power poles running north/south down the center of the site. 9. Cellular towers may be located in the C-1 district by special permit. 10. Wireless communication facilities require special permit approval prior to location in the C-1 (Retail Business) zone [PMC 25.70.070(2)]. 11. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the City ought to maintain land use flexibility with regard to placement of infrastructure for public and private utilities. 12. The Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address cellular equipment. 13. Cellular equipment creates minimal demands on City infrastructure. CONCLUSIONS BASED ON STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT Before recommending approval or denial of a special permit the Planning Commission must develop findings of fact from which to draw its conclusions based upon the criteria listed in P.M.C. 25.86.060. The criteria are as follows: 3 (1) Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives and text of the Comprehensive Plan? The Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address cellular equipment. The Comprehensive Plan goal OF-2 and policy OF-2-A discuss the need for sound management and coordination in the location of utilities and community facilities. (2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure? The proposed use is a part of the communication network utilized by the general public. The proposed equipment will be located in such a manner so as not to impact other public utilities or services. The proposed use does not require water and sewer. (3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with existing or intended character of the general vicinity? The proposed 8.5-foot tall cellular equipment cabinet, containing all of the associated equipment, will be located near the base of the tower within an existing building. The height of the equipment cabinet is significantly lower in height than regularly permitted structures in the R-1 zone. Painting the pole to blend in with the building and sky will also help achieve a degree of harmony with the general vicinity. (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 proposed 100-foot tall monopole is not likely to discourage development in the vicinity. Perhaps the inverse is a more likely result. The added 4G service and increased signal strength may be an attractant to potential commercial developers in an area of town developing at a slower pace than Road 68. (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 cell tower will create no fumes, dust or noise. All ground- level equipment will be completely enclosed within the Broadmoor Storage equipment room. Cell towers facilities have been located 4 throughout the community in residential, commercial and industrial zones without generating any complaints received by the City. (6) Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and developed where proposed, or in any way become a nuisance to uses permitted in the district? Cell tower radio waves have not been proven to be harmful to human health. Regardless, radio waves are focused on the antennas which are elevated 100 feet above grade; away from human activity. The most noticeable impact will be visual. Though potentially displeasing to the eye, the tower poses no true threat to public health and safety. APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1) The special permit shall apply to Parcel # 115-442-012: Lot 3, Binding Site Plan 2005-08; 2) The cellular tower shall not exceed 100 feet in overall height; 3) The cellular tower shall be painted a neutral color which blends well with the landscape such as grey, beige, sand, taupe or light brown. 4) The special permit shall be null and void if the applicant has not obtained a City of Pasco building permit by October 31, 2013. RECOMMENDATION MOTION for Findings of Fact: I move to adopt findings of fact and conclusions as contained in the September 20, 2012 staff report. MOTION for Recommendation: I move based on the findings of fact and conclusions that the Planning Commission recommend the City Council grant a special permit to Verizon Wireless for the location of a cellular antenna tower at 9335 Sandifur Parkway with the conditions as contained in the September 20, 2012 staff report. 5 Vicin Item: Cellular Tower in a C- 1 Zone it y Applicant: Verizon Wireless N Map File # : SP2012-018 �V 1!�N-- i i L I WY I �``"`� .:■ ,� � � - �,�� fig I Ij ;� --" - � '� 1vlf [ ` I W1LSH DR I M2 � 4 e J - - SITE rqp- t � 7'" Qli — �.�a. -6 r s � R 4 �- HA M4 O I ►\IIIIIIIIIIIIIII� tllllllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII■111- .■�■ -�■ � � MINOMMAILVAEFU 11111111111 _ _ � 11111■ 11 ■ � � , 11111111111 .

It is Verizon Wireless policy to take a proactive stance and provide the highest possible wireless network quality to our customers. Based on our radio frequency planning tools and other data collected by Verizon Wireless this area has been identified as requiring a new cell site. New cell sites are added to the system to improve coverage and/or add additional call capacity. The SANDIFUR cell site is planned to accomplish primarily capacity improvement which by its nature also improves service quality in the local area. Due to the growth of personal wireless use and the expanding development in the area the current serving cell sites capacity limits are being reached and a new cell is required to provide additional wireless capacity in the locale area. The current serving Verizon Wireless cell sites for this area are; 3 miles to the west, 2.0 miles to the east, 3.1 miles to the south, and 2.9 miles to the west. For a PCS network in a mixed suburban environment such as this those distances put the Sandifur area at the working limits for the serving cells. This has the effect of additionally further reducing the capacity available to users in the area. Thus due to the surrounding sites struggling to provide the high quality service expected by our customers in the area Verizon Wireless is proposing a new cell be constructed to resolve the capacity issues and improve the quality (wireless data speeds and voice quality)in the area. The SANDIFUR cell site is an integral part of our plan to provide first class wireless service to the markets which Verizon Wireless serves. RF radio propagation studies done using VZW proprietary RF propagation analysis computer software(Geoplan)and our RF transmitter field testing have shown that the chosen location at the personal storage facility and an antenna height of 80 foot is adequate to serve the objective area of homes, industrial buildings, commercial/retail, and roads within approximately a 2.0 mile radius. The SANDIFUR location and antenna height are critical due to the requirement that it; "fit in"with the existing cell sites; relieve capacity congestion at the surrounding cell sites, provide excellent in-building coverage and give reliable service in the area. This is critical because if the new cell does not achieve its goals due to location or height it is impossible to fix later and could require more cells be required than necessary. When new wireless cells are fit into an existing network as is the case with the SANDIFUR the variance for both location and antenna height is particularly small due to the proximity of the adjacent cell sites. Many locations will not meet the criteria due to either overlapping coverage with existing cell sites or not providing adequate wireless service in the critical areas where the new cell is expected to serve. Selecting the SANDIFUR location required several visits, RF propagation analysis and transmitter testing of the location. Transmitter testing was conducted at 80 foot (tip height) to confirm that the allowed height and proposed location would be sufficient. The test showed it is but with no margin to spare. With this proposal the SANDIFUR area can expect excellent wireless service and good wireless call connections into the foreseeable future (see attached plots). Two other locations nearby were evaluated the nearby water tank to the east and an existing tower to the west primarily with respect to the following three criteria. 1- Locating the new capacity cell outside of the intended coverage area will severely reduce its ability to offload calls from our current wireless network since for a cell to"take"calls from other cells it's RF signal must be much stronger in the objective area than the other cells. For this type of area distance is the primary factor in RF signal strength making the new cell location extremely critical. • Page 2 August 10, 2012 2- Efficient use of a cell RF capacity requires it to be located as close to the center of the intended coverage area as possible so the cells three sectors can be fully utilized and no one sector is driven to capacity exhaustion. 3- Locating to close to another existing cell site impairs the capacity of both cells by causing too much "overlap" which actually reduces call quality and capacity at both the existing and new cell. Water Tank-Although plenty tall enough (actually too tall because the coverage radius needed for the new cell site is only about 1.5 miles)the location has two serious faults. One, it is not centrally placed with respect to where the wireless coverage is needed, and two it is much to close (9/10ths of a mile) from our cell called TRAC located at Gesa Stadium. Existing tower 1 mile west of the proposed location —This tower is too far from the intended coverage area. As mentioned above it is vitally important for capacity cells to be located as close to the middle of the intended coverage area (where the users are) as possible so the new cell can serve roughly even numbers of uses on each of the three sectors since an unbalanced cell will waste RF capacity thus driving a need for more cells in the future. This tower is located far west of and at least 2 miles from portions of the required coverage area and thus would not be an efficient location for a capacity cell. In addition the available tower center line elevation appears to be quite low (because the tower currently has a lot of mountings on it) and will cause the signal strength coverage from this location to be weak (especially going east)making it unable to capacity offload the current network cells. Thus, the water tank and the existing tower are not usable locations for meeting the objective of the Sandifur capacity offload cell. As a reference I have attached three RF signal "path loss" plots of the area showing the VZW neighbor cells locations (and the water tank "Sandifur-3" location). The plots depict predicted RF coverage before and after the SANDIFUR cell is added. The coverage estimates (actual service may vary) are referenced to a call for a typical user as excellent = "in-building", good = "in vehicle" and marginal = `outdoor'. This being a suburban area with a wide variety of structures (larger buildings, homes, apartments, etc) the required signal strength needs to be generally in the red area to offload calls from the current network and red or green areas to assure our customers a quality experience with voice and wireless data services. It is significant that the selected location for the SANDIFUR cell site fits with the neighbor cells, can resolve the main issue of capacity, and is located in an out of the way area in a personal storage building area. The concurrence of a good location for the new cell and acceptable land use is not easy to find and a definite plus with this location. As a note:The antennas, as proposed and designed for the above noted site, are in compliance with all applicable FCC requirements. In addition, the proposed site meets all applicable ANSI/IEEE C95.1- 1992 exposure levels, as adopted by the FCC requirements and the equipment we use meets the following safety/regulatory standards: FCC Part 15 & Part 24, UL 1950, 3'd Edition, CSA C22.2 #234, UL 50-Type 3R,Transmit Spurious Emissions: IS-9513, FCC Part 15&Part 24. To summarize, a new cellular site is needed to provide acceptable current and future mobile wireless services in the area. In this case Verizon Wireless is proposing a new cell tower with antennas at 80 foot tip height to be constructed and respectfully request approval for this project.

Z 2012-004 APPLICANT: Gen. Advertising Agency HEARING DATE: 8/16/2012 PO Box 5894 ACTION DATE: 9/20/2012 Pasco, WA BACKGROUND REQUEST FOR REZONE: Rezone from CR (Regional Commercial District) to C-1 (Retail Business District) 1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: Binding Site Plan 2011-05, Lots 1 & 2. Location: 3521 W Court Street Property Size: Approximately 5.61 acres 2. ACCESS: The property has access from Court Street along the south property line and Road 36 to the west. 3. UTILITIES: All utilities are available to the site. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is currently zoned CR (Regional Commercial). The site is developed with a 76,000 square-foot retail building. Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: North R-S-12 (Suburban Residential) - SFDUs South C-3 (General Commercial) - Post Office East CR (Regional Commercial) - Retail West R-1 (Low-Density Residential) - SFDUs 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this area for commercial uses. 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 Non-significance (DNS) has been issued for this project under WAC 197- 11-158. ANALYSIS The property is approximately 5.61 acres fronting Court Street along the south property line and fronting Road 36 to the west. It is developed with a 76,000 square-foot retail building formerly occupied by K-Mart and more recently the International Plaza. The building is part of a strip mall with 20,500 square feet 1 of divided retail spaces directly adjoining to the east and another 46,000 square-foot retail space at the east end of the development. The property was annexed into the City in 1979, at which time it was zoned C- 1-D (Designed Shopping Center). The property has since been rezoned to C-1 and in 2003 to CR with a concomitant agreement containing two conditions, as follows: A. The following uses shall be prohibited: 1) Amusement game centers, recreation centers or similar uses; 2) The use of outdoor speakers and public announcement systems of any kind. B. The following design controls shall apply to these properties: 1) All outdoor lighting must be strictly shielded to prevent lighting from encroaching on adjoining residential property; 2) All new development and site improvements shall comply with the 1-182 Corridor Design Standards as identified in P.M.C. 25.58 as existing and hereafter amended. Applicant wishes to rezone the subject property from CR (Regional Commercial District) to C-1 (Retail Business District) to allow for donation-based secondhand thrift shop use by special permit. The City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan shows the property to be within a commercial designation, and the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map indicates the property in question should be utilized for commercial uses. The proposed zoning change from CR to C-1 will be more restrictive with the exception of allowing donation-based secondhand uses with a special permit. The property has been vacant or underutilized for 12 years. The rezone in 2003 from C-1 to CR was an effort by the owner at the time to broaden opportunities to market the building for commercial uses. The hope at the time was to provide additional space for auto and RV sales. The building subsequently continued to be vacant or underutilized with CR zoning and is vacant today. 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: This property was zoned CR (Regional Commercial) in 2003 with the expectation that the CR Zoning would broaden opportunities for the reuse and redevelopment of a major commercial building within the community. Following the CR rezone the property remained underutilized and vacant and has continued to deteriorate. The property has remained vacant while major new commercial property investment has occurred in the Road 68/100 areas. 2 (2) Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and general welfare: The building owner is working with a donation-based thrift shop client and will lease or sell the property, contingent upon approval of both this rezone and a special permit. The rezone will allow for donation-based secondhand sales with a special permit. Recently the Pasco Municipal Code was revised to allow this process to occur in the C-1 Zoning District. The opportunity to provide for new private investment through a special permit process will advance the general welfare of the community. (3) The effect it will have on the nature and value of adjoining property and the Comprehensive Plan: The buildings have been underutilized or vacant for many years. A rezone would have minimal impact on the site and surrounding properties, as the C-1 zone allows for less intensive uses than does the current CR Zone, with the exception of donation-based secondhand thrift stores. (4) The effect on the property owners if the request is not granted: The current property owners have lined up a donation-based thrift shop client for the building, contingent upon approval of both the rezone and a special permit. If both the rezone and the special permit are not secured the donation-based thrift shop client will be unable to use the building and the building will likely remain empty. (5) The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the property: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the site for commercial uses. The proposed rezone will make no difference vis-a-vis the Comprehensive Plan. 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 Findings to this listing as the result of factual testimony and evidence submitted during the open record hearing. 1. The site was annexed by the City of Pasco in 1982 (Ordinance #2388). 2. The site was rezoned from C-1 to CR in 2003 (Ordinance #3620). 3. The site is currently zoned CR (Regional Commercial District) and has been zoned CR for approximately 9 years. 3 4. Properties to the east are also zoned CR and are developed with retail buildings. 5. The site borders R-1 and RS-12 Zones to the west and north, respectively, which are developed with single-family homes. 6. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for commercial uses. 7. The site is developed with a 76,000 square-foot retail building. 8. This building has been vacant or underutilized for 12 years. 9. Applicant is requesting a change of zoning from CR to C-1. 10. Applicant is concurrently applying for a special permit for a donation- based thrift shop with this rezone application. CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL 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 and determine whether or not: (1) The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposal is consistent with Land Use Policy LU-1-B of the Comprehensive Plan, which seeks to "Enhance the physical appearance of development within the community through land use regulations, design guidelines, and performance and maintenance standards including landscaping, screening, building facades, color, signs, and parking lot design and appearance," and Policy LU-3-C which seeks to "Maintain and apply design standards and guidelines that will result in attractive and efficient centers." Applicant wishes to bring a client to the property who is planning on rehabilitating the building on the site and bringing the landscaping up to current City code. Furthermore, the City has recently passed a Code Amendment allowing secondhand stores in C-1 Zones, which is in keeping with Policy ED-1-A to "Provide a governmental atmosphere which is conducive to the development and expansion of business opportunities." Policy ED-3-A requires the City to "Enhance compatibility of commercial and industrial development with residential and mixed use neighborhoods through the use of landscaping, screening, and superior building design standards and guidelines," and Policy ED-3-C requires the City to "Provide sufficient, accessible, and attractive off-street parking facilities" and Policy ED-3-D, to "Require existing commercial . . . facilities to conform to city design and site amenity standards, when expansion and/or new facilities are proposed." These mitigation efforts occur in the process of assigning conditions to the special permit. 4 (2) The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental. It is believed that the rezone will not have any adverse effect on adjacent property values, as the property has been used for general commercial purposes in the past and will continue to do so. Furthermore, the surrounding neighborhood is almost completely developed and infrastructure is in place, including traffic signalization at surrounding intersections. (3) There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole. The building has been vacant or underutilized for some time. Applicant has a client prepared to invest in the site and occupy the building. The rezone will be more restrictive overall, as the CR Zone allows additional uses to those allowed in the C-1 Zone. (4) Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from the proposal. No conditions should be necessary for this rezone. (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. No Concomitant Agreement conditions should be necessary for this rezone.

ANALYSIS The property is approximately 5.12 acres fronting Court Street along the south property line and fronting Road 36 to the west. It is developed with a 76,000 square-foot retail building formerly occupied by K-Mart and more recently the International Plaza. The building is part of a strip mall with 20,500 square feet of divided retail spaces directly adjoining to the east and another 46,000 square-foot retail space at the east end of the development. The property was annexed into the City in 1979, at which time it was zoned C- 1-D (Designed Shopping Center). The property has since been rezoned to C-1 and in 2003 to CR with a concomitant agreement containing two conditions, as follows: A.

On the 20th of February 1990 the City Council passed ordinance 2768 prohibiting secondhand dealers from operating in the C-1 (Retail Business) zone, as well as restricting placement of these and similar uses in the C-3 (General Business District) and I-1 (Light Industrial) zones to no less than 1,000 feet from each other. The reasoning cited in the ordinance is as follows: 1) The concentration of secondhand stores along with the manner in which they are maintained contributes to visual blight, physical decay, declining property values and perpetuates a negative public image for the community in general; 2) The external effects of physical decay and blight make the Central Business District and certain portions of Lewis Street less desirable for business investment: 3) Secondhand dealers, specifically pawnshops, require considerable regulation to protect the community and public interest by preventing said establishments from becoming facilities for the concealment of crime and outlets for stolen goods: 2 4) The enforcement of municipal codes relative to the operation of secondhand dealers is time consuming, burdensome, and costly to the community; Near the end of 2011 Goodwill Industries began negotiations for the property at 712 North 20th Avenue, with the intent of locating a secondhand collections center at the site. After being informed that the site was not zoned appropriately for the requested use the City began the process of exploring the possibility of amending the municipal code to accommodate secondhand uses in C-1 Zones. On August 6, 2012 the City Council approved a Code Amendment allowing donation-based thrift shops to operate in C-1 Zones with a Special Permit. Since that time Goodwill Industries refocused their attention to the current property located in the Riverview Plaza at 3921 W Court Street, which at the time was zoned CR (Regional Commercial). The current application rides on the back of a rezone application changing the zoning of the property from CR to C- 1. In the Code Amendment secondhand uses were conceptually separated and defined to include three specific categories, as follows: 1) Pawnshops; 2) Consignment stores; and 3) Thrift Shop (Donation-based). It was noted that donation-dependent thrift shops such as Goodwill Industries differ substantially from pawnshops and consignment-type secondhand stores in that there is no built-in incentive for patrons "fencing" stolen goods for cash, and thereby contributing to overall criminal activity in the community. As such, criminal-based policing would not likely be an issue, so much as nuisance-based code enforcement. However, people drop items off at donation-dependent operations as a matter of course; these items ranging in value from "slightly used" to "junk." While secondhand stores often strive to control the flow of castoffs, "midnight drop- offs" are virtually inevitable, and result in visual blight. Thus, visual blight, declining property values and probable increased costs for code enforcement are issues for consideration. In response to some of these concerns the applicant has submitted photos which they indicate "detail the quality of the store we will create at the Riverview Shopping Center" and "an example of a donation drive-thru that will be similar to what will be built in Pasco." The photos submitted include the following design elements: 1) Atrium roof 3 2) Bump-out awnings/overhangs 3) Fenestration (windows) 4) Multiple facades/reliefs 5) Custom window treatments 6) Custom decorative flagpole element 7) Up-lighting 8) Arch 9) Cornices 10) Sloped roof 11) Covered Patio Area 12) 2-tone belt courses 13) Slate tile facing on columns, coins 14) Columns with capitals, cornices. Staff believes retrofitting these elements to the current building would enhance the aesthetic appeal of the structure. Improving the exterior appearance of the building may aid in addressing some of the negative perceptions associated with thrift stores but exterior building treatments do not adequately address the concern about the accumulation of used goods as a result of "midnight drop-offs". This activity can be mitigated only through site management (signage, store policies, cameras) and site design (additional landscaping, walls, fencing and drop-off facilities). The proposed donation (drop-off) area of the store is located on the west side of the building facing Road 36. The properties on the west side of Road 36 are zoned residentially (R-S-12 and developed with single family homes). To afford these homes protection from the outdoor activity that will occur around the donation area additional screening to include a short screening wall between the two columns of the donation canopy will be needed along with the extension of the landscaping buffer along Road 36 and the inclusion of a raised landscaped island in front of and around either end of the donation. Signage warning against after hour deposits posted on the main building and in the donation area along with a warning sign indicating the donation area is monitored by surveillance cameras will provide additional assurances the donation area will not become an unsightly dumping ground after hours. The old Kmart building and parking lot was development in 1980 prior to the initial landscaping standards that appeared in the zoning regulations in 1982. The parking lot does contain some perimeter landscaping but lacks any interior landscaping, particularly landscaping islands at the end of each row of parking. The current owner of the property signed a development agreement that provided a timeline for upgrading the parking lot landscaping. However through the Special Permit process the Planning Commission has the latitude of conditioning the approval of the special permit to include parking lot 4 landscaping as part of the site improvements needed before the building can be occupied. The building on the site has been vacant or underutilized for about 12 years and has generally been neglected with respect to exterior maintenance. Any improvements needed on the building are to comply with the design standards contained in PMC 25.58. These standards were included as a condition when the property was rezoned from C-1 to CR in 2003. 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 Findings to this listing as the result of factual testimony and evidence submitted during the open record hearing. 1. The site was annexed by the City of Pasco in 1979 (Ordinance #2066). 2. The site was rezoned from C-1 to CR in 2003 (Ordinance #3620) and has been zoned CR for approximately 9 years. 3. The CR rezone included a condition that all new development and site improvements shall comply with the 1-182 Corridor Design Standards as identified in P.M.C. 25.58 as existing and hereafter amended. 4. The site is currently in the process of being rezoned from CR (Regional Commercial) to C-1 (Retail Business) Properties to the east are also zoned CR and are developed with retail buildings. S. The site borders R-1 and RS-12 Zones to the west and north, respectively, which are developed with single-family homes. 6. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for commercial uses. 7. The site is developed with a 76,000 square-foot retail building. 8. This building has been vacant or underutilized for approximately 12 years. 9. Applicant is requesting a Special Permit for the location of a donation- based thrift shop in conjunction with a change of zoning from CR to C-1. 10. Applicant has indicated that "the quality of the store we will create at the Riverview Shopping Center" correspond to photos found in attached photos "Example E" 8v "Example F." 11. Applicant has indicated that the "donation drive-thru (depicted in Photo "Example G") . . . will be similar to what will be built in Pasco." 12. People drop items off at donation-dependent operations as a matter of course. While secondhand stores often strive to control the flow of castoffs, "midnight drop-offs" are inevitable, and result in visual blight. 13. The parking lot lacks landscaping islands and does not conform to current standards. 14. The property is partially landscaped along the border with Road 36. 5 15. Drop-off trailers often cannot contain all the donated items and as a result donated items spill out into the parking lot around the trailers creating an unsightly unkempt appearance. 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. 25.86.060. 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? The site is identified in the Comprehensive Plan for Commercial use. The Commercial Land Use designation includes all commercial uses listed in the C-1 zones. Donation-based thrift stores are specifically mentioned in the Pasco Municipal Code as being allowed by Special Permit. Policy LU-1- B encourages enhancement of the physical appearance of development within the City. The applicant has provided a rough elevation drawing with the application and has provided correspondence that included pictures of other Goodwill Stores in Oregon and Arizona depicting general redevelopment concepts for the property. These illustrations indicate enhancements will be made to the building supporting policies of the Plan. Landscaping improvements would be required as part of the redevelopment permitting process. (2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure? The public infrastructure surrounding this property was installed to support the original retail nature of the property. The proposed redevelopment of the site for a thrift store will not have any adverse effect on public infrastructure. (3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity? Re-occupying the building and putting it to some beneficially use will assist in arresting the declining appearance of the property; however the proposed use could bring a new set of challenges that would disrupt the harmony and character of the general vicinity. Conditions will be needed to ensure the proposed thrift store is operated and maintained to be in harmony with the neighborhood. The applicant has submitted concept photos detailing at 6 least 14 design elements which would enhance the architectural appearance of the structure. (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 fully developed. As well, no new structures are proposed. Applicant is proposing a remodel which would enhance the appearance of an old deteriorating structure to improve the value of the existing neighborhood. (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? This use will not generate any noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic, or flashing lights above and beyond permitted uses for the zone. (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? Items are dropped off at donation-dependent operations as a matter of course. Without proper management and control of the site, conditions will quickly occur that may create health and safety hazards due to accumulations of donated items. Special Permit conditions will be needed to specifically address the management of drop-off boxes, management of the donation drop-off area and general screening of the property. TENTATIVE APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1. The special permit shall apply to Parcel No. 119272172. 2. Signs shall be posted on all sides of the building indicating drop-offs and donations are not accepted after hours. 3. No donation collection areas are permitted on the property except in the donation canopy area. No donation boxes, trailers, containers or similar items for the collection of donations shall be permitted outside the building. 7 4. No food commodities or other materials shall be stored outside of the building. S. A raised landscaped island shall be installed immediately to the west of the donation canopy. Said landscaped island shall be at least 8 feet wide at the widest point and shall extend north and south of the donation canopy at least 10 feet. The landscaped island shall contain a mixture of complementary shrubs that will form a visual barrier between the donation center and the sidewalk along Road 36. 6. A four foot decorative fence complementing the design and color of the building and canopy shall be installed between the westerly support columns of the donation canopy. Said fence shall be raised six inches off the ground. 7. The landscaping buffer along Road 36 shall be extended the full length of the property excluding driveways. The additional landscaped buffer shall extend 8 feet easterly of the Road 36 sidewalk. 8. Landscaped islands shall be installed at the ends of each row of parking stalls and in the interior of rows to ensure no parking stall is more than 75 feet from a landscape element. 9. All landscape islands, beds and buffers must contain automated irrigation systems. 10. A landscape plan must be submitted and approved by the Community and Economic Development Director. 11. The driveway entrances shall be reconstructed to meet current ADA requirements. 12. The rehabilitation of the exterior elevations shall be required and said rehabilitation shall incorporate at least three design elements per elevation as identified in PMC 25.58. 13. The special permit shall be null and void if a building permit has not been obtained by January 1, 2015. 14. Building and parking lot lighting shall be shielded to prevent light spillage into adjacent properties. 8 RECOMMENDATION MOTION: I move to adopt findings of fact and conclusions therefrom as contained in the September 20, 2012 staff report.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: PTN N1/2, SE 1/4, NE 1/4, NE 1/4, 25-9-29. Location: 1208 N 20th Ave Property Size: Approximately .58 acres 2. ACCESS: The property has access from 201h Avenue. 3. UTILITIES: All utilities are available to the site. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is currently zoned C-1 (Commercial Retail). The site is developed with an 8,080 square-foot retail building. Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: North C-1 (Retail Business) - Commercial East R-1 8v "O" (Low- Density Residential/Office) - SFDUs 8v Office South R-2 (Medium Density Residential) - Church West R-2 (Medium Density Residential) - School 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this area for commercial uses. 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 Non-significance (DNS) has been issued for this project under WAC 197-11-158. ANALYSIS The property is an 8,080 square-foot retail center on approximately .58 acres located on the south side of a major shopping center with Albertsons and Rite- Aid as anchors. The east side of the building is currently vacant, with a Laundromat in the west end. There is a bank located in a separate building to the east, and a vacant lot to the west. The property to the south is developed with a church and a parsonage. Applicant wishes to locate a donation-based thrift shop on the property. On August 6, 2012 the City Council approved a Code Amendment allowing donation-based thrift shops to operate in C-1 Zones with a Special Permit. In the Code Amendment secondhand uses were conceptually separated and defined to include three specific categories, as follows: 1) Pawnshops; 2) Consignment stores; and 3) Thrift Shop (Donation-based). It was noted that donation-dependent thrift shops such as Goodwill Industries differ substantially from pawnshops and consignment-type secondhand stores in that there is no built-in incentive for patrons "fencing" stolen goods for cash, and thereby contributing to overall criminal activity in the community. As such, criminal-based policing would not likely be an issue, so much as nuisance-based code enforcement. People drop items off at donation-dependent operations as a matter of course; these items ranging in value from "slightly used" to "junk." While secondhand stores often strive to control the flow of castoffs, "midnight drop-offs" are virtually inevitable, and result in visual blight. Thus, visual blight, declining property values and probable increased costs for code enforcement are issues for consideration. "Midnight drop-off' activity can be mitigated through site management (signage, store policies, cameras) and site design (additional landscaping, walls, fencing and drop-off facilities). Applicant has not indicated whether there will be an on-site drop-off area, and the site plan submitted is vague, at best. As well, the application does not go into any great detail about operational procedures. 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 Findings to this listing as the result of factual testimony and evidence submitted during the open record hearing. 1. The site is currently zoned C-1 (Retail Business). 2. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for commercial uses. 2 3. The site is developed with an 8,080 square-foot retail building. 4. The east half of this building is currently vacant. 5. Applicant is requesting a Special Permit for the location of a donation- based thrift shop. 6. Experience within the community has shown secondhand stores may contribute to visual blight, physical decay, declining property values and perpetuate a negative public image for the community in general, particularly if allowed to receive donations at the site 7. People drop items off at donation-dependent operations as a matter of course; these items ranging in value from "slightly used" to "junk." While secondhand stores often strive to control the flow of castoffs, "midnight drop-offs" are virtually inevitable, and result in visual blight. 8. Applicant has not indicated whether there will be an on-site drop-off area (see attached letter/site plan). 9. The operational procedures for the thrift shop have not been described in any great detail (see attached letter). 10. The parking lot island landscaping does not conform to current standards. 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. 25.86.060. 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? The site is identified in the Comprehensive Plan for Commercial use. The Commercial Land Use designation includes all commercial uses listed in the C-1 zones. Donation-based thrift stores are specifically mentioned in the Pasco Municipal Code as being allowed by Special Permit. Policy LU- 1-B encourages enhancement of the physical appearance of development within the City. (2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure? The public infrastructure surrounding this property was installed to support the original retail nature of the property. The proposed redevelopment of the site for a thrift store will not have any adverse effect on public infrastructure. (3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity? 3 Re-occupying the building and putting it to some beneficially use will assist in arresting the declining appearance of the property; however the proposed use could bring a new set of challenges that would disrupt the harmony and character of the general vicinity. Conditions will be needed to ensure the proposed thrift store is operated and maintained to be in harmony with the neighborhood. (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 fully developed. As well, no new structures are proposed. (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? This use will not generate any noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic, or flashing lights above and beyond permitted uses for the zone. (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? Items are dropped off at donation-dependent operations as a matter of course. Applicant has not indicated whether or not there will be an on- site drop-off area. However, if so, site conditions could quickly occur that may be objectionable to nearby property owners without proper management and control of such drop-off facilities. Special Permit conditions will be needed to specifically address the management of any and all drop-off facilities, management of the donation drop-off area and general screening of the property. TENTATIVE APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1. The special permit shall apply to Parcel No. 119331046. 2. Signs shall be posted on all sides of the building indicating drop-offs and donations are not accepted after hours. 4 3. No donation boxes, trailers, containers or similar items for the collection of donations shall be permitted outside the building. Any donation drop-off areas shall be screened and managed so as to not create an nuisance to the area. 4. No food commodities or other materials shall be stored outside of the building. S. The landscape island north of the building between the parking area and the Rite-Aid/Albertsons shopping center shall be refurbished and brought up to current City landscape standards. 6. A landscape plan must be submitted and approved by the Community and Economic Development Director. 7. The special permit shall be null and void if a business license has not been obtained by March 1, 2013. RECOMMENDATION MOTION: I move to close the public hearing and schedule deliberations, the adoption of findings of fact, and development of a recommendation for City Council for the October 18, 2012 Planning Commission meeting. In order to better understand the operational procedures of the proposal and receive additional information, the Planning Commission may elect to continue the public hearing by approving the following motion: I move to continue the public hearing to the October 18, 2012 Planning Commission meeting. 5 • Item: Donation-based Thrift Shop in C- 1 Vicinity Applicant: Riverview Baptist Church N Map File #: SP 2012-020 T T _ 1615MVIET1.ST 1 - � , ;�... _ -�'A-A C 6 6 '; � ^;��� III _ — a � �• A °I,�BFOlI•% — �l s � — � _ ..t � _ - '�+...� .-r.r P Aa� _) �� -•t.• w �� I •!'N5 �� CC e T � �• P" ' � � F Ems' ��. �P• 1 '�" Ip�9 '!� CARTMELL ST - '�FFfr k T w A BROWN ST w SITE y{ r'Af '�? .� � •Frrr � It ' � �'' ws� t �� s ".MARI�E - F _ F ..

Wernett Rd. – Pasco, WA 99301 Church Phone (509) 547-2021 Dr. John Paisley, Pastor Dr. Ken Griffin, Co-Pastor August 24, 2012 To Members of the Pasco City Council: My name is Dr. John Paisley, Senior Pastor of Riverview Baptist Church in Pasco. I have been on staff at the church for 38 years. We have a congregation of over 2,000 members; we provide transportation to our services on 22 bus routes that run on Sunday mornings. The church financially supports 456 missionaries around the world in 102 nations. In the past ten years, by the grace of God, Riverview Baptist Church has given nearly $5,000,000.00 to world missions. The church supports three orphanages in other countries, two of which were started by our church. I list all of these statistics for one reason—we want to do more! Riverview is concerned about our community and the world. It is our desire to open a non- profit"World-wide Thrift Store" in the Tower Plaza at 20th Street and Court Street. All of the profits from the store would be given to our world-wide ministry. It is apparent to us, that in order for us to be successful in this endeavor, cleanliness in the store would have to be a main priority. We have three members in our congregation who own dry cleaner/laundromats and have volunteered to clean all of the clothes before placing them for sale. Any other goods to be sold would be inspected to see that they were in good condition, functioning and cleaned before they were sold. We have a large warehouse in Kennewick that has been given to reduce any clutter at the store. We are seeking a conditional use permit for the above stated purpose. It truly is our desire to be a blessing to our community and the world. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Box 38 ACTION DATE: 10/18/2012 Clarkston WA, 99403 BACKGROUND REQUEST: Preliminary Plat: Sunset Village, 26-Lots (Multi-Family) 1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Leal: Lot 5, Cole Estates General Location: Road 90, approximately 960 feet north of Sandifur Parkway Property 4.7 Acres Number of Lots Proposed: 26 lots and 2 tracts Square Footage Range of Lots: 5,700 ft2 to 8,686 ft2 with a 24,382 ft2 and an 11,328 ft2 common area tract Average Lot Square Footage: 6,480 ft2 (excluding Tract "A" 8v "B") 2. ACCESS: The property will have access from Road 90. A 28 foot wide private road will provide access to each lot. 3. UTILITIES: Municipal sewer and water services are currently available from the main in Road 90. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential) with a concomitant agreement limiting the residential density to 30 units. Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: NORTH: R-1 - Single Family Residences SOUTH: C-1 - Vacant EAST: R-1 - Single Family Residences WEST RT - Vacant S. 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. Goal H- I 2 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. ANALYSIS The site was originally part of Coles Estates, which was developed as a rural large lot subdivision 45 years ago. The property was annexed to the City in 1982 and zoned RT (Residential Transition). The RT zone is essentially used as a holding zone that is applied to properties until public services are available or can be conveniently extended. Road 90 was constructed in 2009 and water and sewer service were brought to the property in the same year. Following the land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan, the property was rezoned to R-3 earlier this year. The rezone restricted development on the site to no more than 30 dwelling units. The rezone included other limitations dealing with building heights (limited to 30 feet) and setbacks (at least 15 feet on the north and east depending on yard orientation). The applicant is proposing to subdivide the 4.7 acre site in question into 26 lots and two tracts to allow the construction of 26 zero lot-line single-family residences. Essentially the developer is proposing to build 12 duplex buildings and two single family homes or 10 duplex units and two tri-plexes. Each dwelling unit will occupy an individual lot in the same manner as the duplexes and multi-family buildings do in the Mediterranean Villas development to the west. The proposal for Sunset Village is identical to the process that was used for the recent approval of the Navigator Villas development now being built on Road 68 and Powerline Road. Individual lots were created through the platting process with a common driveway, parking area and common areas including an area for a clubhouse. The Island Estates Row Home development in the Island Estates subdivision (Phase 8) and the Mediterranean Villas subdivision are also examples of multi-family developments that were established through the platting process. Each of these subdivisions were 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 26 lots; with the lots varying in size from 5,700 square feet to 8,686 square feet; the average size being 6,480 2 square feet. The Plat also contains two common area tracts of 11,328 square feet and 24,382 square feet. These tracts will be developed as a common open space with the possibility of a clubhouse on the larger tract to the south. The proposal will allow 4 fewer dwelling units on the site than permitted by the April, 2012 rezone. RIGHTS-OF-WAY: The Plat fronts Road 90 which is currently developed to City standards. UTILITIES: The developer will be responsible for extending utilities into the Plat. A common utility easement will be needed along either side of common access driveway. The Franklin County PUD has identified the need for easements on both sides of the internal access way. The PUD permits common use of utility trenches which enables the easement to be used by other utility providers. The City Engineer will determine the specific placement of fire hydrants and streetlights when construction plans are submitted. STREET NAMES: Road 90 is already named. A name of the private access road will be assigned during the final platting process. IRRIGATION: Municipal Code requires installation of irrigation lines as a part of infrastructure improvements. Although the site is outside of the Franklin County Irrigation District service area, a City irrigation meter will be installed to provide irrigation water. WATER RIGHTS: The assignment of water rights is a requirement for subdivision approval. Water rights have not yet been assigned to the City. 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 R-3 zone permits a density of 14.5 dwelling units per acre. The proposed plat has a density of 5.53 units per acre. The April, 2012 rezone for the property restricted development to a maximum of 6.38 units per acre. No more than 60 percent of each lot is permitted to be covered with structures. 3 Parks Opens Space/Schools: A City park is located adjacent to Maya Angelou Elementary School. The proposed subdivision will be served by Maya Angelou Elementary School, McLoughlin Middle School and Chiawana High School. The Preliminary Plat was submitted to the School District for review. 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. Since the Pasco School District has requested residential development impacts be mitigated, the City has implemented a schools impact fee paid at the time of building permit issuance. In response to the subdivision proposal the School District, by letter dated August 30, 2012, has the expectation that impact fees will be collected for the purpose of addressing the requirements of RCW 58.17.110. The School District letter also indicated the proposed development could add an additional 15 students to the District enrollment Effective Land Use/Orderly Development: The plat is laid out to effectively utilize the site consistent with the rezone approval that occurred in April 2012. The rezone permitted 30 dwelling units to be developed on the site. The Plat is designed for 26 units. Safe Travel & Walking Conditions: The Plat is connected to the community by Road 90. Sidewalks are a part of the development requirements for the property and must conform to current City standards and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. 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: The proposed Preliminary Plat contains 26 multi-family building lots, providing an opportunity for the construction of 26 dwelling 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. Proper Access & Travel: Road 90 has been developed to City standards and provides access to the property from Sandifur Parkway. 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 suggest the City strive to maintain a variety of housing for residents. 4 Other Findings: 1. The site is within the Pasco Urban Growth Boundary. 2. The State Growth Management Act requires urban growth and urban densities to occur within the Urban Growth Boundaries. 3. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for mixed residential development. 4. The site is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential). 5. The site was zoned R-3 in April of 2012. 6. The zoning Ordinance (adopted in 2012) for the site, limits the number of dwelling units on the site to thirty (30). 7. The developer is proposing to build 26 dwelling units on the site. 8. The proposed Plat contains 35,710 square feet of common open space, equivalent in size to four adjoining single family lots. 9. The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the development of a variety of residential densities and housing types. 10. The Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the interconnection of neighborhood streets to provide for the disbursement of traffic. 11. Road 90 provides access to the site from the north and south. 12. The School District, by letter dated August 30, 2012, indicated the proposed Plat could cause an additional 15 students to be enrolled in the Pasco School District. 13. The School District, by letter dated August 30, 2012, stated there was an expectation that school impact fees would be collected for development within the proposed Plat. 14. 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. 15. The School District indicated by previous correspondence dated February 3, 2012, that impact fees address the requirement to ensure adequate provisions are made for schools. 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, 5 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 include all infrastructure improvements designed to ensure the public health, safety and general welfare of the community are secured. These standards include provisions for access, drainage, water and sewer service and fire safety. 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 the Plat may add another 15 students to the District's enrollment and there was an expectation that the development would pay a school impact fee to ensure adequate provisions are made for schools. A neighborhood park is located on Road 84 adjacent to Maya Angelou Elementary School. All new developments participate in establishing parks through the payment of park fees at the time of permitting. The development will be required to pay a traffic mitigation fee with each permit for the development's share of future street improvements including the installation of new traffic signals. (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 additional housing following the designation of the Comprehensive Plan and the established zoning. The proposed subdivision provides a transition buffer between the commercially zone properties to the south and the single-family properties to the north. The development of the property will include 325 feet of new sidewalk along Road 90. (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. The Housing Element of the Plan encourages the promotion of a variety of residential densities including multi-family development. (4) The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of any applicable policies or plans which have been adopted by the City Council; 6 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 are provided for (i.e. school impact mitigation, park fees and traffic fees). (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.

The applicant in this matter was requesting the current BP (Business Park) zoning be changed to C-3 (General Business) with a concomitant agreement to allow the relocation of the local Coke distribution facility to the property. The applicant is still in the process of identifying the optimal site development included building orientation. Without a better understanding of how the proposed building will be laid out it is difficult to finalize the concomitant agreement conditions. With that in mind the applicant and his consultant would prefer to continue the public hearing for one month to allow time to work out the details of the concomitant agreement with staff. Recommendation MOTION: I move to continue the hearing on Master File # Z 2012-003 to the October 18th 2012 meeting. I REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION MASTER FILE NO. Z 2012-003 APPLICANT: Bill Dolsen HEARING DATE: 8/16/2012 PO Box 1726 ACTION DATE: 9/20/2012 Yakima, WA 98907 BACKGROUND REQUEST FOR REZONE: Rezone from BP (Business Park) to C-3 (General Business) with a Concomitant Agreement 1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: Lot 4 Binding Site Plan 95-5 Location: North end of 26th Avenue Property Size: 8.41 Acres 2. ACCESS: The property has access from 26th Avenue. 3. UTILITIES: All utilities are available to the site. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is currently zoned BP (Business Park). The site is vacant and never been developed. Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: North "R-1" Low Density Residential - Church & "R-2" Medium Density Residential-Duplex complex South "BP" Business Park - TI Sports East "R-1" Low Density Residential - Single Family West Highway 395 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the site for commercial uses. Plan Policy ED-2-13 encourages the development of a wide range of commercial and industrial uses strategically located to support local and regional needs. Part of the State-wide Growth Management mandate as identified in the Comprehensive Plan includes the promotion, retention and expansion of local businesses. 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 Non-significance (DNS) has been issued for this project under WAC 197- 11-158. 1 ANALYSIS/HISTORY The property in question was part of a more than 18 acre area north of Court Street adjacent to Highway 395 that was annexed to the City in 1989. Upon annexation the site and companion parcels to the south were zoned C-1 Retail Business. In 1995, six years after annexation, a permit was issued for the construction of the Food Pavilion store on the seven acres south of the site. A year later a convenience store was built at the northwest corner of 26th Avenue and Court Street followed six years later by two commercial buildings along Court Street. The site has continued to remain vacate since annexation 23 years ago. The Food Pavilion store closed in the early 2000's and remained vacant until it was rezoned to BP along with the site in question. In 2010 the Food Pavilion property was purchased by Ti Sports and converted to a research, development and manufacturing facility. (The Food Pavilion store was originally located on the west side of Highway 395 in the River View Shopping Plaza. The River View Shopping Center has been mainly vacant and underutilized for more than 10 years.) The applicant is seeking a rezone for the site to relocate and expand an existing distribution facility that is currently located on Road 34. The Business Park District does not permit the development of warehouses hence the applicant request for a rezone to C-3 (General Business). The subject property is designated for commercial land uses by the Comprehensive Plan Land Use map. The Comprehensive Plan provides general guidance on land use but does not specifically identify which of the 6 commercial zoning districts should be applied to the property. The public rezone process is used to determine the most appropriate zoning district. Commercial zoning districts include C-1 (Retail Business), C-2 Central Business District), "O" (Office), C-3 (General Business) CR (Regional Commercial) and BP (Business Park). The C-3 District permits the most intense commercial land use activities in the community. These uses include heavy machinery sales and service, lumber yards, mobile homes sales yards, automobile sales and service, wholesale businesses, warehousing, and trucking firms. The applicant understood at the time of application that not all permitted uses within the C-3 district would be appropriate on the site and restricted the C-3 rezone request to exclude heavy equipment activities, lumber sales and veterinarian clinics. While the applicant intends to relocate and expand a specific business, zoning decisions need to be considered in the context of all uses permitted in a zoning district. The applicant's existing facility uses 14 to 16 trucks on a regular basis. Eight UPS/FEDEX type trucks provide vending services to the region and 6 to 8 large 30 to 50 foot semi-trucks make deliveries to area stores. These trucks leave the current site between 5:30 am and 7:00 am and return between 2 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm each afternoon. From 4:00 pm to about 10:00 pm the trucks are re-stocked for deliveries the following day. Sometime during the day, usually in the morning, several (3) semi-trucks make deliveries similar in the manner in which deliveries are made to grocery stores. Again review of the application should include consideration that any type of distribution center could be located on the site not just the applicant's proposal. Other types of distribution centers may be more or less intense with respect to impacts on the neighborhood. Given the location of the property adjacent to a residential district it may be necessary to exclude certain C-3 uses from consideration and or include conditions that would reduce or eliminate possible adverse impacts associated with a rezone that may include a distribution center as a permitted use. Conditions could include additional screening through the use of berms, fencing and landscaping, restrictions on the location of buildings on the site, security lighting and orientation of loading docks. 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: • The retail nature of the area has changed as a result of the conversion of the Food Pavilion to a research, development and manufacturing facility. • The old Kmart building (76,000 sq. ft.) on the west side of Highway 395 has been vacant or underutilized for approximately 12 years. • Much of the River View Shopping Plaza west of Highway 395 has been vacant or underutilized for the past decade • A significant shift has occurred in the retail development of the city with major retail development now occurring on Rd 68 near the I- 182 Interchange. 2. Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and general welfare. For one reason or another development skipped over this site. The church to the north was built in 1969 and the houses to the east were built in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. The location of the property adjacent to the freeway and 750 feet north of Court Street have made it undesirable for both residential and commercial development. Rezoning the property for businesses that are not impacted by freeway noise and that do not need convenient or direct access to an arterial street may encourage development and use of the property. Developed land contributes more fully (through taxes, fees and licenses) to the funding of municipal services thereby promoting the general welfare. Developed 3 land also eliminates problems associated with weeds, the collection of litter and blowing dust that often creates nuisance in the community. 3. The effect it will have on the nature and value of adjoining property and the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan does not specify the exact commercial zoning that should be applied to the property. That determination is to be made through the public rezone process. There are six commercial zoning districts that could be considered for the property, including C-3 General Business. Plan policy ED-2-B encourages the development of a wide range of commercial and industrial uses strategically located to support local and regional needs. The site is conveniently located near the Court Street 395 interchange providing easy access to the local and regional transportation network. Part of the State-wide Growth Management mandate includes the promotion, retention and expansion of local businesses. Rezoning the property would benefit nearby commercial businesses, thereby creating additional business opportunities and buoying up property values. Development of the property with a building could benefit the adjoining residential neighborhood by creating a barrier or buffer between the freeway and the neighborhood thereby reducing freeway noise in the neighborhood. Development of the property would also eliminate a weedy dusty parcel thereby diminishing nuisances caused by weeds, blowing dust and the collection of litter. However, a distribution facility may also increase trucking and sorting activities on the site and will increase noise impacts in particular It is probable that this increase in activity will impact the R-1 and R-3 properties adjacent to the rezone site and noise impacts would need to be mitigated. 4. The effect on the property owners if the request is not granted. The current BP zoning allows the property to be developed with a variety of administrative office buildings, testing labs, research facilities, High Tech type manufacturing plants, industrial medical facilities, research and development facilities and retail businesses. The benefit of this zoning district to the owner is that it allows a combination of C-1 business activities and research, development and manufacturing of High Tech products. Additional setbacks and landscaping requirements are built into the district to provide compatibility with neighboring properties. By maintaining the current zoning the property owner can market the land for a greater number of uses that permitted in some commercial districts. However high tech development firms are difficult to attract and the location of the property 740 feet from an arterial street make it less attractive for retail sales. The proposed rezone may increase opportunities to lease or sell the property and put the property to a productive use. With current and past zoning the property has not developed. 4 land also eliminates problems associated with weeds, the collection of litter and blowing dust that often creates nuisance in the community. 3. The effect it will have on the nature and value of adjoining property and the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan does not specify the exact commercial zoning that should be applied to the property. That determination is to be made through the public rezone process. There are six commercial zoning districts that could be considered for the property, including C-3 General Business.

Development of the property would also eliminate a weedy dusty parcel thereby diminishing nuisances caused by weeds, blowing dust and the collection of litter. However, a distribution facility may also increase trucking and sorting activities on the site and will increase noise impacts in particular It is probable that this increase in activity will impact the R-1 and R-3 properties adjacent to the rezone site and noise impacts would need to be mitigated. 4. The effect on the property owners if the request is not granted. The current BP zoning allows the property to be developed with a variety of administrative office buildings, testing labs, research facilities, High Tech type manufacturing plants, industrial medical facilities, research and development facilities and retail businesses. The benefit of this zoning district to the owner is that it allows a combination of C-1 business activities and research, development and manufacturing of High Tech products.

The proposed rezone may increase opportunities to lease or sell the property and put the property to a productive use. With current and past zoning the property has not developed. 4 5. The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the property. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for commercial development. The proposed rezone is for commercial development (C-3 zoning) consistent with the Plan. The existing BP zone is also consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation of the site. 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 BP (Business Park). 2) The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for commercial development. 3) The Pasco Municipal Code contains regulations for 6 types of commercial zoning districts. 4) The applicant has applied for a C-3 General Business rezone 5) C-3 Zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Designation of commercial for the site. 6) Under current and past zoning the site has remained vacant and undeveloped since it was annexed 23 years ago. 7) Properties around the site developed in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's while the site in question remained vacant and continues to be vacant today. 8) The former Food Pavilion building directly south of the site remained vacant for 7 years until the property it was a part of was rezoned. The rezone enabled a non-retail research, development and manufacturing firm to locate in the building. The firm invested almost a million dollars in remodeling the building. 9) The 76,000-square-foot K-Mart building in the Riverview Shopping Plaza (3521 W Court St.) has been vacant or underutilized for approximately 12 years. 10) The old Food Pavilion building in the Riverview Plaza has been vacant or minimally used since 1996. 11) The site is located 750 feet north of Court Street and lacks arterial street frontage. 12) In addition to permitting the development of retail uses the C-3 District permits the development of more intense commercial activities such as 5 automotive sales and services, heavy equipment sales and service, lumber yards and other uses. 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 commercial land uses on the site. The proposed zoning district is commercial in nature and supports the Plan. (2) The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental. The property is currently vacant and is slowly becoming deteriorated. The proposed rezone may provide opportunities for additional uses creating employment opportunities and additional activity on the property that would have secondary benefits to adjoining commercial businesses. Activity on the property will also reverse the deterioration trend, thus benefiting other nearby properties. (3) There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole. Encouraging development of the property will have merit and value to the community as a whole because a developed property more fully contributes to funding public safety, schools, parks and other community services upon which all residents rely. (4) Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from the proposal. The property is not an appropriate location for many of the high intensity uses that are permitted in the C-3 District. Uses such as heavy machinery sales and service, lumber yards, landscape storage yards, contractor facilities, mobile homes sales, automobile sales and service, trucking firms, truck stops, towing impound yards and related or similar uses would impact the neighborhood in a negative manner. Conditions to exclude such uses would be needed for the benefit of the surround neighborhood. Additionally buffering through landscaping, berms and or walls may be needed to provide the neighborhood with additional protection from possible noise and activity associated with use and development of the property. 6 (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. A concomitant agreement is needed to prohibit the development of more intense commercial uses and ensure sufficient buffering is provided for the benefit of the neighborhood. Rezoning the property to C-3 with restrictions on the more intense C-3 uses would essentially cause the property to be zoned similar to C-1 with the addition of distribution facilities.

MEMORANDUM DATE: September 20, 2012 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Jeffrey B. Adams SUBJECT: CA 2012-004: CODE AMENDMENT—REGIONAL COMMERCIAL ZONES This memo is in response to a request by the City Council to examine the utility of Regional Commercial Zones. The Regional Commercial Zone (CR) designation can best be described as an "enhanced C-1 Zone," as it allows all uses found in the C-1 zone, but with the addition of auto/RV sales and services, amusement, game and recreation centers, and golf driving ranges. These uses are currently allowed in the C-1 Zone with a Special Permit. The intent of this zoning designation was to allow for autos and RV sales and regional-scale recreational activity centers near interchanges without requiring applicants to go through the special permit process. Current CR Zones are clustered south of the intersection of I-182 and Road 100, and in the Riverview Plaza on West Court Street just west of the Highway 395 intersection (See Exhibits 1 through 3). For Potential CR Zone sites, the I-182/Road 68 interchange may be seen as an ideal location (See Exhibit#4); however inviting auto/RV sales to these areas may serve to dilute the synergy of the auto sales cluster along state Highway 395 between Court and Sylvester Streets. In the 10+ year history of the CR zone there has been one property owner who has made use of this special zoning feature (Broadmoor RV). The number of applications for CR-type uses by Special Permit (golf course, waterpark, TRAC Facility) over the same time period can be counted on a single hand. Furthermore, an applicant in the Riverview Plaza has recently petitioned for a rezone from CR to C-1. The following are representative permitted uses in the City of Kennewick's CR Zone: • Aviation Storage and Service; • Bars and taverns; Espresso stands (sidewalk); Restaurants; Restaurants, fast food; • Golf- driving range, miniature golf„ Theaters movie; Recreation Centers • Hospitals and sanitariums (except animal clinics, hospitals); Veterinary Clinic or Hospital • Kennels • Laboratories for research and testing; • Manufactured Housing Display Areas; Vehicle sales, incidental repair and service; • Mini-storage;Recreational Vehicle Storage; • Parking garages and lots; Storing of Commercial Vehicles; • Private gymnasiums, fitness centers, dance studios, body building, and martial arts, etc.; • Second Hand/Consignment Store; • Transient accommodations (including hotels and motels); The following are Uses Allowed in the City of Kennewick CR Zone by Special Permit: Adult Retail (1) (See Title 18.12.030); Bus stations and terminals; Energy facilities; Espresso stands (drive-through); Essential public facilities and utilities; Public/quasi-public facilities and services; Schools, private; Schools, public; Wineries Type B (See Title 18.12.305) (The Cities of Richland and Spokane do not have specific Regional Commercial Zones.) Questions for Discussion 1.Are CR Zones useful above and beyond C-1 Zones? 2.If CR Zones are found to be useful in their own right, where should they be located? a. Current Locations: intersection south of I-182 and Road 100; and in the Riverview Plaza. b. Proposed locations: I-182 and Road 68 interchange; north side of I-182 and Road 100/Broadmoor interchange. Options for Planning Commission Discussion A) No change to the code. B) Eliminate the CR Zone from the Zoning Ordinance and rezone CR Zones to C-1 or C-3. C) Add/subtract uses or standards from CR District and revise. D) Rezone selected areas of town from their current zoning designation to CR.

As such, the Planning Department has undertaken the task of inventorying sections of the code that may warrant modification. The proposed modifications are divided into two categories; they are substantive and perfunctory. The list of perfunctory revisions is intended to contain less complex items having minor bearing on regulations. Types of perfunctory changes include grammatical and punctuation corrections, single word or phrase addition/removal, deletion of extraneous definitions and relocation of code sections to correct sequential order. The list of substantive revisions can be characterized as pertaining mostly to the need to clarify existing definitions. One other notable substantive change is the inclusion of nightclubs into the list of Conditional Uses in the C-I zone. A substantive revision related to maximum accessory structure height in suburban zones has been added to the list per prior direction of the Planning Commission under Master File # CA2011-007. PERFUNCTORY REVISIONS PMC Citation Revision Explanation To provide adequate open space for light and air, to prevent Grammatical 25.04.020(2) overcrowding of the land, and to lessen reduce congestion on the correction streets. 25.08.020 CONFLICTING PROVISIONS. Where this Title imposes a greater Grammatical restriction upon land, buildings, or structures than is imposed or correction required by other rules, regulations, standards, policies, ordinances, contracts, covenants public or private, deeds, or statutes lawfully adopted by the City of Pasco, the provisions of this Title shall govern and take precedent. In the case of conflicts between the text, maps and tables of the this Title, the text shall govern unless otherwise stated. 1 25.12.055 AMUSEMENT GAME DEVICE.

The resolution also indicated the annexation process would not require simultaneous adoption of zoning, rather zoning would be determined through a separate hearing process to allow input from affected property owners. The proposed annexation area lies roughly between Road 68 and Road 52 southerly of the Franklin County Irrigation District Canal (see attached map). A variety of land uses exist within the annexation boundary however the area can be characterized predominantly as a suburban residential area and contains over 500 single-family homes. The proposed annexation area currently contains three different (R-S-20, R-2 and C-1) zoning districts. The permitted uses within these districts along with development patterns will need to be considered by the Planning Commission when developing a recommendation for the City Council. The current County zoning more or less follows the City's Comprehensive Plan designations with some variation. Due to the size of the annexation area it will be necessary to hold a public hearing to discuss the zoning question on a day other than the regular Planning Commission meeting. Staff is recommending a special meeting be set to consider the matter on October 3, 2012. Conducting the zoning determination hearing on October 3rd will enable staff to prepare the necessary report for the City Council to consider the annexation in mid- October. Recommendation MOTION: I move the Planning Commission set pm October 3, 2012 as the time and date to hold a public hearing to establish a zoning determination for the Riverview Annexation Area #2. 1 Annexation Area #2 N i ., �1I 711 .gent Heap 00 L-L---J-- TF W.Werneft Rd.
