Ordinance Amending Title 25
Page 20 of 34
25.44.050 PROHIBITED USES. Evidence received by the Planning Commission
and contained in previous studies and Pasco Police Crime Reports demonstrates that certain uses
make the Central Business District less desirable or attractive to the public due to a demonstrated
history of contribution to general public disorder, loitering, nuisance and other acts detrimental
to the public image of the area. Certain other uses provide entirely, or predominately,
automobile services and, thereby, do not foster the clustering concept intended to attract
pedestrian visitors. Other uses may, by their inherent nature, require a disproportionate amount
of the limited vicinal on-street parking, for an extended time, which is intended to be available
and shared by all business for the short duration convenience of customers.
The following listed businesses, for the reasons above, inhibit new business growth,
contribute to business loss and decline of property values, inhibit convenient access to vicinal
businesses, do not foster the clustering concept intended to orient the business environment to
pedestrians, or perpetuate a public image which is undesirable or unattractive and detrimental to
public and private investment in revitalization efforts and, therefore, are prohibited within the C-
2 district:
