which required increasing the screen slot size and length in order to achieve the
target production volume of 2,000 gallons per minute. Along with the upsizing of
the screen, the well required additional development time to remove sediment.
C) The work is now complete and staff recommends acceptance of this work.

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 six
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
N
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.
It should also be pointed out that some uses permitted in the BP zone such as
retail grocery stores are serviced by a large number of trucks big and small.
Trucks delivering to grocery stores arrive very early in the morning and
continue through the day into the evening. Depending on the orientation of the
loading docks truck traffic to a grocery store can impact adjoining properties in
much the same manner as a distribution facility.
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 building 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
3
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
land also eliminates problems associated with weeds, the collection of
litter and blowing dust that often creates a 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 -13 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 may 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 than permitted in some
commercial districts. However high tech development firms are difficult
10
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.
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.
5
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
automotive sales and services, heavy equipment sales and service, lumber
yards and other uses.
13) Some retail uses such as grocery stores are serviced by a large number of
delivery trucks at all hours of the day and night. Grocery stores are a
permitted use in the BP zone.
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 has remained undeveloped
since annexation to the City. 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.
Development activity on the property will ensure the property is
maintained in a dust free weed free manner, 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. The proposal
will also cause the property be become developed eliminating
nuisances conditions associated with blowing dust, weeds and the
0
accumulation of weeds and debris along the common property line
with the properties to the east.
(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 protection from possible noise
and activity associated with use and development of the property.
Restricting the location of parking and truck loading areas will also
aid in minimizing the impacts of on -site traffic and noise on
adjoining properties.
(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. The concomitant

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 20, 2012
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Dave McDonald, City Planner
SUBJECT: Rezone from BP to C -3 Rezone (MF# Z2012 -003)
During the August 16, 2012 meeting the Planning Commission held a hearing
on a rezone application for an 8 acre parcel located at the north end of 26th
Avenue. 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
including 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.
Planning Commission Minutes
8/22/2012
D. Rezone Rezone from BP (Business Park) to C -3 (General
Business) (Bill Dolsen) (MF# Z2012 -0031
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. The
surrounding neighborhood developed in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. The property
the applicant is interested in has remained and 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 service 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. In addition, landscaping and a fence would help screen the property.
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.

Chairwoman Kempf read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
David McDonald, City Planner, explained the rezone from BP (Business Park) to C -3
(General Business). The applicant in this case is in the process of working with an
engineer/ architect to lay out a design for the property with respect to the building.
Because the location of the building and the orientation was a concern relative to the
single - family residential neighborhood to the east there may be conditions attached to
the rezone. The recommendation was to continue this item to the October 18, 2012
meeting to allow more time.
Commissioner Hilliard moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to continue the
hearing on Master File # Z2012 -003 to the October 18, 2012 meeting. The motion
passed unanimously.

Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
David McDonald, City Planner, discussed the status of this item. At the last regular
meeting this item was continued for one month to allow staff time to meet with the
applicant and his architect to work out issues of layout of their building on the
property. Staff met with the architect and the applicant asked to have one more
month to get a clearer picture on how the building will fit and from that staff will be
able to create conditions for the rezone.
Commissioner Anderson moved, seconded by Commissioner Kempf, to continue the
deliberations until the November 15, 2012 meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, discussed the rezone application from BP (Business
Park) to C -3 (General Business) with the intent of allowing a distribution facility on the
property with conditions. He explained that this application had previously been
continued to allow the applicant, Bill Dolsen, to work with an architect to layout a
building on the property. The applicant now has a plan that will work with the
property and staff has created a number of conditions for the concomitant agreement
that would allow the rezone process to move forward for City Council's consideration.
Staff recommended the property be rezoned with the conditions listed in the
attachment (revised motion) that was handed out to the Planning Commission prior to
the meeting. The attachment was also provided to Mr. Dolsen. Mr. McDonald
explained the additions related to the requirements for architectural features on the
front of the building and clarification on landscaping. Mr. McDonald also pointed out
that the conditions should also contain a limitation on uses such as heavy equipment
sales and service, lumber yards and other uses in the C -3 zone of a non - retail nature.
The agreement would be prepared to include the list of prohibited uses.
The public hearing was opened to allow the applicant to make comment. With no
public comments being provided the hearing was closed.
Commissioner Anderson moved, seconded by Commissioner Khan, to adopt the
findings of fact and conclusions therefrom as contained in the December 20, 2012
staff report. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Anderson moved, seconded by Commissioner Khan, based on the

with a concomitant agreement with conditions as enumerated in the December 20,
2012 staff report including a limitation on non - retail uses as discussed. The motion
passed unanimously.
Staff explained that if no appeal is filed on the Planning Commission recommendation
that matter would be forwarded to the City Council on the first regular meeting in
January.
AGENDA REPORT

SUBJECT: Construction Bids /Contract Municipal Court
I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Construction Cost Estimate
2. Draft Construction Contract
January 17, 2013
Regular Mtg.: 1/22/13
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1/22: MOTION: I move to approve the contract for construction of municipal court
facilities with Lydig Construction, Inc., in the amount of
$3,417,619.00, including sales tax, and, further, to authorize the
Mayor to sign the agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Current Cost Estimate: $3,761,998
Funding from Voter Approved Public Safety Sales Tax
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) In January 2012, Council approved an agreement with LCA +pH, Architects for
design services for the new Municipal Court facility in conjunction with Franklin
County's project to expand and remodel the jail and construct new office space
for the County Sheriff.
B) Design work has been completed and the County has advertised the project for
bid with bid opening set for January 16, 2013. Within 48 hours after bid opening,
the apparent low bidder will provide its cost breakdown and calculation of the
city's (Municipal Court) portion of the bid cost.
C) Lydig Construction, Inc., of Spokane submitted the lowest base bid (of 5 bidders)
for the project. The City's calculated portion of the project is about 2.4% higher
($82,000) than the architect's estimate.
D) The City included one alternate in the bid to allow some flexibility in final cost.
Staff does not recommend awarding the alternate which included upgrading
courtroom and waiting areas with decorative wood paneling ($94,600) as opposed
to finished/painted sheetrock (which should be easier to maintain over time).

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. City Staff, BNSF Representatives and UTC members met in July of 2012 at 151
and `A' Street Railroad Crossing to discuss safety concerns. According to BNSF
records, there have been a number of recorded and unrecorded misses resulting
from vehicular traffic going around the railroad crossing mast -arms when the
signal crossing is on. They requested the City's partnership on making certain
improvements consisting of barrier median curbing.
B. Staff views these improvements as beneficial for residents to prevent future
possible incidents and agreed to the partnership. Staff has developed seeping and
preliminary plans. The layout for the improvements was approved by UTC and
made recommendations for financial participation through the grant.
C. The improvements will include the installation of 100' of barrier median curbing
on both sides of the crossing to prevent vehicles from going around mast -arms
when the crossing signal is on.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. On November 8, 2012, the City filed an application with UTC requesting $25,000
from the Crossing Protective Fund (GCPF) to pay for a portion of project relating
to crossing safety.
B. After review of the application and analysis of railroad safety data, giving
consideration to all relevant matters and for good cause shown, UTC granted the
disbursement of funds to the City of Pasco in the amount of $25,000. The City
will use the funds for the installation of median barriers and a raised concrete
traffic curb with delineators.
C. The City's grant match will consist of City crews completing improvements such
as pavement widening, signing and striping. Concrete work will be outsourced to
contractors.
D. Staff requests Council's approval and signature of the grant agreement.

ORDER GRANTING REQUEST FOR
DISBURSEMENT FROM THE GRADE
CROSSING PROTECTIVE FUND
USDOT: 089707D
On August 18, 2011, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission
(Commission) sent to various interested parties a "Notice of Opportunity to Apply for
Grant Monies from the Grade Crossing Protective Fund" in Docket TR- 111224.
On November 8, 2012, the City of Pasco (City or the Applicant) filed with the
Commission an application requesting a disbursement of $25,000 from the Grade
Crossing Protective Fund (GCPF) to pay for a portion of a project related to crossing
safety. The total cost of the project is approximately $66,000 with the City paying for
costs above the $25,000.
The City seeks to install median barriers at a public railroad crossing located on West A
Street in the city of Pasco. The City also proposes to install a raised concrete traffic curb
with delineators (brightly colored plastic cylinders) on South I' Avenue. South I'
Avenue is a parallel roadway to the tracks that intersects West A Street, 30 feet from the
crossing. The West A Street crossing is identified as USDOT #089707D.
Through an analysis of railroad safety data, Commission Staff identified 15 incidents
since 2007 of motorists driving around downed crossing gates at the West A Street
crossing. In addition, since 1989 there have been three accidents at the crossing resulting
in property damage. As a result of the analysis, Staff initiated an on -site meeting with
representatives from the City and BNSF Railway Co. (BNSF) to address the safety issues
at the crossing. At the meeting, the stakeholders developed a plan to modify both
roadways which will reduce the ability of motorists to drive around downed crossing
gates at this location.
DOCKET TR- 121750
ORDER01
PAGE 2
5 Approximately 40 trains per day travel over this crossing at speeds up to 25 miles per
hour. Both freight and passenger trains utilize the track. There are three tracks at this
crossing, one main and two sidings. A BNSF rail yard is also located near the crossing
and the activities at the yard increase the probability of slow - moving trains throughout
the day at this location.
6 West A Street is a minor arterial and is a designated truck route with a posted speed limit
of 35 miles per hour. Average annual daily traffic through the crossing is 5,500,
including 12 percent commercial motor vehicles and no school buses. South 0 Avenue
runs parallel to the railroad tracks and averages 2,500 vehicles per day and intersects
West A Street at a shallow angle. The close proximity of the intersection to the crossing,
in addition to the skewed angle of the intersection makes it possible for motorists to drive
around the downed crossing gates. The skewed angle also decreases the sight distance
for motorists, making it more difficult to see an oncoming train.
7 The City seeks $25,000 to pay for a portion of the cost of the median barriers and raised
concrete traffic curb with delineators. The total cost of the project is approximately
$66,000 with the City responsible for costs above $25,000. There currently are funds
available to pay for the project.
a The City must also meet the following conditions for administering the GCPF grant.
• Expenditure from the Grade Crossing Protective Fund must not exceed
$25,000.
• The work for which the Grade Crossing Protective Fund disbursement was
approved must conform to the project description specified in the
application.
• City must sign and return the attached project agreement by January 30,
2013.
• Payment will be made upon presentation of claim for reimbursement and
verification by Commission Staff that the work has been satisfactorily
completed.
• The project must be completed and the associated request for
reimbursement from the Grade Crossing Protective Fund must.be filed
with the Commission no later than June 30, 2013.
