FROM: Rick Terway, D or, A dministrative & unity Services
SUBJECT: Library Improvements
I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Letter from Mid - Columbia Library District
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
9/30: Discussion
10/7: Motion: I move to approve the expenditure, not to exceed $15,000 for
exterior painting and sign replacement at the library facility at 1320 W.
Hopkins.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
General Fund
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The Library facility located at 1320 W. Hopkins was constructed in the 1960's
and various updates have occurred during the last 50 years. The Library is
currently operated under contract by the Mid - Columbia Library District. The
library, until April 2013, was the only library in Pasco and consequently was
heavily used; the facility remains consistently busy.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The District has requested to make some modification to the interior of the
building to give the facility a more modern feel and facilitate additional area for
the expanding need for electronic media, as well as a new coat of paint to brighten
the interior space. Staff has evaluated the request from the district and does not
see any structural reasons for concern with any of the items listed in the attached
letter. The district estimates their cost of this project will be approximately
$100,000 dollars. Due to funding constraints and project schedules throughout
the District the project needs to be completed by December 31, 2013.
B) The District has also requested that the city participate in this renovation project
by updating the sign that is located on the northwest corner of the property. It is
in need of some repairs and this would be a good time to replace the sign. Along
with the sign replacement the district has also asked the city to repaint the exterior
of the building with a new color to blend with the repainting of the interior space.
The cost to the city is estimated to be $13,700.
C) The District anticipates the library will be closed from November 28, 2013 to
January 2, 2014 and advises that the holiday season is a relatively "slow" period
for library use (as opposed to summer, when it is heavily used for reading
programs, etc.). Every effort will be made to open the library sooner if all goes
well.
D) Staff recommends Council concurrence with this project.

City Manager
City of Pasco

Pasco, WA 99301
Dear Mr. Crutchfield:
Neva Le8lond Bequette Service center
405S. Dayton a Kennewick, WA 99336 • (509) 582.4745. Fax (So9) 737-x+349
As a heavily -used library system, we often see the need to update and improve our facilities
due to regular wear and tear. We are establishing a four -year cycle for facilities
improvements system -wide, and the Pasco Branch is slated for improvements in late 2013.
We would like to work together as move on to the next steps of this proposed project.
As we evaluated the Pasco Branch for updates and improvements, we created a plan that
would include the following work:
• Removal of remaining, original wooden shelving and facings along outer interior
walls.
• Removal of unused wall unit heaters.
• Rerouting of AC /Heating vents in current wooden shelving to floor vents to allow for
placement of new metal shelving around outer interior walls.
• Rerouting of electrical outlets in current wooden shelving to wall outlets.
• Repainting of the interior to include new branding color palette.
• Replacement of stained and worn carpet squares.
• Installation of two to four drop poles for added electrical outlets for customer use in
seating areas of branch.
• Purchase and installation of new shelving.
• Purchase and placement of new furniture for seating areas.
The library system will assume the costs of these improvements.
With your permission, we would like to move forward with these plans to improve the Pasco
Branch library, and schedule the work to be performed in late - October, early- November.
We anticipate that this work could be completed in three weeks, and would require the
library to be closed for this period of time.
1
If this is acceptable to the City, communications to our Pasco customers will include posted
signs, website announcements, and direct email notifications of the project and the closure.
The communications would also direct customers to the West Pasco Branch and other
library branches for services during the closure.
We anticipate providing extended open hours at the West Pasco Branch during this project.
The proposed schedule at the West Pasco Branch while the Pasco Branch is closed is:
Monday- Thursday
9 AM to 9 PM
Friday
9 AM to 7 PM
Saturday
9 AM to 5 PM
Sunday
1 PM to 5 PM
Mid- Columbia Libraries Board of Trustees and I appreciate the efforts the City of Pasco has
put forth to improve library services to its community. We are excited to move forward with
the project. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (509) 737 -6357.
Sincerely,
Kyle P. Cox
Executive Director

SUBJECT: LID 148 Final Assessment Roll
I. REFERENCE(S):
October 2, 2013
Regular Mtg.: 10/7/13
1. Vicinity Map
2. Final Assessment Roll
3. Memorandum to City Manager from City Engineer dated 9/25/13
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING
10/7: MOTION: I move to direct that LID 148 include a Phase B to accommodate
installation of additional utility stubs and driveways properly
requested by owners of property therein.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
See below.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) LIDS 148 and 149 were formed and the improvements constructed over the past
two years. In conducting the final assessment roll hearings, it was learned that
several property owners desire installation and financing of utility stubs and/or
driveways for certain vacant parcels within the LID boundaries. Council has
continued the assessment roll hearing to be apprised of its options in responding
to the expressed concerns.
B) In reviewing the record of the LID formation and construction, it appears that
references were made during the neighborhood meetings that utility stubs and
driveways could be included but the only letters that mentioned utility
improvements were not very clear as to the owner's opportunity to do so. When
the inspector contacted each household during construction, the vacant parcel
owners were not contacted. Thus, the only vacant parcels requesting utility and/or
driveway improvements were those that initiated contact with the inspector or the
engineering office (perhaps because they understood from prior communications
that they could do so, or perhaps from their own initiative to find out). In any
case, some vacant property owners did not understand their opportunity to do so.
C) The attorney employed by the city to advise on LID matters has reviewed the
circumstances in LID 148 and 149 and has concluded that the city can lawfully
include additional improvements (utility stubs and/or driveways) if carried out
properly. In addition, the attorney notes that the city may include utility
connection fees (capital reimbursement) for those property owners who desire to
finance those fees via LID. In all cases, the attorney advises the city to use an
"application and waiver" form to ensure a clear record of the owner's request and
consent to accept the additional assessment. Once the additional work is
completed, a new final assessment roll hearing process would be required to
establish the revised and final assessment roll.
7(a)
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The engineering office has reviewed both LID projects with regard to the desire
for utility stubs and driveways on vacant properties (see exhibit 2). Cost
considerations reflect that the installation of utility stubs "after the fact" (after the
street was paved) will cost about 40% more because the street and sidewalk must
be cut to accommodate the stub extension. The LID attorney advises that the city
could either: absorb the extra cost and assess the same cost per stub throughout
the LID; or not assess any stub cost within the LID but require full payment of the
actual stub cost at the time of connection (future).
B) The construction records reflect a wide disparity in driveway cost between LID
148 and 149. Engineering estimates the expected cost to install a driveway "after
the fact" at about $2,200. However, the LID attorney advises (again) that either
all driveways in an LID be charged the same rate within the LID or exclude the
driveway costs for assessment and collect the reimbursement at the time of
development. To further complicate the driveway question, engineering advises
the driveways are best left out until placement of the home is known, to avoid
having to duplicate the expense by moving the previous driveway to fit actual
development of the lot (in other words, it is likely cheaper for the lot owner to
place the driveway when the house is built).
C) If Council wishes to accommodate the desire of some owners of vacant properties
to install utility stubs and their driveways, staff recommends the following
process:
• Explicit notice to owners of vacant property of their opportunity to add utility
stubs and/or driveways with a fixed application deadline;
• City design, bid and construct the additional work requested by owner
applications;
• Notify all LID participants of revised final assessment roll;
• Conduct hearing on revised final assessment roll;
• Approve ordinance adopting final assessment roll.
D) Staff recommends Council close the Final Assessment Roll hearing and direct that
a Phase B for each of LIDS 148 and 149 be initiated to accommodate additional
utility stub and driveway improvements requested by property owners within the
respective LIDS.

Memo
To: Gary Crutchfield, City Manager
Ahmed Qayoumi, Public Works Director
From: Michael A. Pawlak, PE, City Engineer Yom"
Date: September 25, 2013
Public Works Department
Engineering Division
Re: LIDs 148 & 149 Additional Driveways & Utilities Memo
Introduction. Both LID 148 and 149 constructed street improvements in the Kurtzman Park
neighborhood including street reconstruction and paving, curb & gutter, storm drainage facilities,
driveway approaches and sidewalks. In addition, the City constructed certain necessary water and
sewer main improvements as companion projects to the LIDs. The cost for this utility work was not
part of the LIDs, was paid for entirely by City water and sewer rate funds, and was not assessed to
individual properties.
During the Final Assessment Hearing held before City Council, a number of residents raised the
question that they were not afforded the opportunity to have utility stubs extended to vacant lots
that they owned, or to have driveway approaches installed at those lots. Council has requested
that staff review these concerns and provide information regarding what information was provided
to property owners during the LID process and the costs of installation of utility service stubs and
driveway approaches.
The LID Process. During the initial LID development process (formation) for both LIDs, property
owners were notified of the efforts to form the LID and construct public infrastructure improvements
along the frontage of their properties in the form of individual mailings (letters). Those letters invited
each property owner to contact City staff for more information on the improvements and impacts
and benefits to their property. In addition, at least two Public Open Houses were held to provide
information to residents and property owners and to seek input from them. Notices of these Open
Houses were posted as legal notices in the Tri -City Herald as well as mailed to each property
owner. City Council took public testimony at the Public Open Houses. That testimony was
provided to staff who incorporated suggestions, as applicable, into the design of the project.
At the start of the construction phase of each project, the Public Works Construction Inspector
assigned to the projects attempted to contact each resident property owner to advise them of the
construction activities that were about to start and coordinate the location of any utility service
connections and driveway approaches. The Inspector did not contact properly owners of vacant,
undeveloped property. The assigned Inspector made numerous contacts with residents and
owners throughout the construction phase, answering questions, providing information and
assistance on coordination of construction and individual needs and schedules.
• Page 1
Design & construction of utility connections and driveway access approaches. The design
efforts included providing utility service connections and driveway approaches to all developed lots.
Such improvements were depicted on the contract documents and included in the respective
contract bid schedules. Engineering and Planning staff attempted to work with each property
owner during the design phase and /or at the start of construction to install any utility service lines in
the appropriate location and to coordinate the width and location of driveway approaches. During
the construction phase, many driveways were adjusted, modified and relocated in response to
property owner requests. Utility service connections were also adjusted and relocated to
accommodate property owner requests.
Utility stubs and driveway approaches were included in the project in accordance with the
provisions of PMC 12.04.100 for the number and width of driveways to residential lots; and PMC
13.04.030 for water services and meters. In addition, the design was consistent with a long-
standing Public Works policy to not install water or sewer service stubs or driveway access
approaches to undeveloped lots, unless specifically requested by the property owner.
LID 148:
• The City paid to install nearly 800LF of new watermain in the area, at the same time as the
LID street construction.
• Thirty one (31) new water services and meters were set at the right -of -way (property) line of
each property currently connected to City water in order that the City could, in the future,
disconnect those properties from the old watermains located in the alleys and reconnect to
the new mains in the street. The disconnect/reconnect efforts would be undertaken by
Public Works Operations staff on some later developed schedule.
Four (4) sewer service stubs were installed, by construction change order, at the request of
the property owner at 615 S. Sycamore Avenue to facilitate the subdividing of that parcel.
The amount of the change order for the four sewer stubs was added to the LID assessment
for the newly created parcels. Other service connection fees (i.e. water frontage, area and
system fees, water service and tap fees, sewer system fees and sewer tap fees) were paid
by the property owner at the time of development. Sewer frontage and area fees were not
charged as those were included with and paid as part of sewer LID 71 (1965).
Twenty -three (23) driveway approaches were included in the original design to transition
access between the new street improvements and existing properties.
• In addition, a total of twenty -one (21) driveway approaches to seventeen (17) properties --
including 8 undeveloped lots -- were added by change order to the construction contract,
at the request of the property owners.
LID 149:
• The City's companion utility project included 12 new water services to properties, in the
design documents. The locations of these services were coordinated with property owners
during the design phase. All of these new services were to developed properties, or
undeveloped properties at the request of the property owner.
• Page 2
• In addition, six (6) water services were added by change order to undeveloped properties
that were being subdivided, at the request of the property owner.
• Three (3) sewer service stubs were included in the original design.
• During construction, seven (7) sewer stubs were added at the request of property owners
who were developing or subdividing undeveloped lots.
• Twenty (20) driveway approaches were included in the original design to accommodate
existing properties.
• In addition, seven (7) driveway approaches were added, by change order, during
construction to accommodate property owner requests.
Current Council Request. Engineering has reviewed the large undeveloped lots within both LIDS
and worked with Planning staff to determine the number of legal lots which each could be
subdivided. Staff has also estimated the costs of construction of water and sewer stubs, as well as,
water and sewer service fees (including frontage and area fees, connection (stub) fees, system
fees, meter, and tap fees). The cost to construct a nominal 20 -ft width driveway approach to each
potential lot was also estimated. That information is detailed in the attached spreadsheet; and
summarized below.
Water fees: Front footage, area and system fees are based on the current established published
rates and compensate the City for capital infrastructure previously installed. The water service
connection fee of $1,015 covers the cost of City staff tapping the main and installing the water
service to the meter box at the property line. The estimated total water connection fees for a typical
64 ft. by 125 ft lot (8,000 SF) would be $2,965.40.
Sewer fees: Front footage, area, system, and tap fees are based on current established published
rates and compensate the City for previously installed capital infrastructure. If the City installs the
sewer stub from the main to the property line there is an additional Sewer Stub Fee of $4,000. The
actual costs incurred for the additional sewer stubs installed with LID 148, as a change order,
equaled $66.52 per linear foot. The estimated total sewer connection fees, including sewer stub,
on the same 8,000 SF lot cited above would be $5,600.52 (using the actual linear foot cost paid
during construction and assuming a stub length of 34 LF. The actual costs for installing the sewer
stubs now will be greater than the costs incurred with the LID construction as the street has now
been paved (current construction estimate is $92.00 per linear foot).
Drivewav approaches: Driveway approaches could be installed at each of the potential lots and
would require horizontally cutting the existing curb, excavation of the existing soil, cutting and
removing of the existing 4-in. sidewalk, placing and compacting crushed surfacing base course and
placement of the 6 -in. thick driveway approach slab and replacement sidewalk. The estimated cost
(today) to install these approaches is $2,270.00. (The installation of nominal 20 -ft. wide driveway
approaches during LID 148 was $2,546.04 and $1,262.83 during LID 149.) It should be noted that
the City typically does not install nor require developers of subdivisions to install driveway
approaches until a residence or business is permitted for construction on a given lot. Subdivisions
are required only to install curb & gutter along the streets until a specific lot is permitted for home
construction. This way, the driveway will be installed in the correct location. Both the development
community and the City have found (through experience) that it is very costly to "estimate" the
• Page 3
location of driveways only to have to come back later and tear out the approach, replace curb &
gutter, and reconstruct the driveway approach in a new location. In essence, the builder expends
more than twice the cost of a driveway that is constructed once the layout of the residence is
established.
Financing: Upon consultation with legal counsel, it has been determined that an additional
construction contract could be established to construct the additional utility connections and
driveway approaches. The costs of these improvements would be bome by either the individual
property owner solely or by some partnership between the property owner and the City. The
property owner's portion could be added to his /her LID final assessment amount and financed with
the LID. This financed portion can include the actual sewer stub and driveway approach
construction costs and City service connection fees (which are reimbursement for capital
infrastructure previously constructed). If the property owner chooses to include only the driveway
approach and sewer stub costs in the financing, he /she would still be liable for the other City
service connection fees current at the time of building permit and connection application.
Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need additional information or clarification of the
information provided.

October 2, 2013
FROM: Gary Crutchfi �anager Regular Mtg.: 10/7/13
SUBJECT: LID 149 Final assessment Roll
I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Vicinity Map
2. Final Assessment Roll
3. Memorandum to City Manager from City Engineer dated 9/25/13
H. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING
1017: MOTION: I move to direct that LID 149 include a Phase B to accommodate
installation of additional utility stubs and driveways properly
requested by owners of property therein.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
See below.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) LIDs 148 and 149 were formed and the improvements constructed over the past
two years. In conducting the final assessment roll hearings, it was learned that
several property owners desire installation and financing of utility stubs and/or
driveways for certain vacant parcels within the LID boundaries. Council has
continued the assessment roll hearing to be apprised of its options in responding
to the expressed concerns.
B) In reviewing the record of the LID formation and construction, it appears that
references were made during the neighborhood meetings that utility stubs and
driveways could be included but the only letters that mentioned utility
improvements were not very clear as to the owner's opportunity to do so. When
the inspector contacted each household during construction, the vacant parcel
owners were not contacted. Thus, the only vacant parcels requesting utility and/or
driveway improvements were those that initiated contact with the inspector or the
engineering office (perhaps because they understood from prior communications
that they could do so, or perhaps from their own initiative to find out). In any
case, some vacant property owners did not understand their opportunity to do so.
C) The attorney employed by the city to advise on LID matters has reviewed the
circumstances in LID 148 and 149 and has concluded that the city can lawfully
include additional improvements (utility stubs and/or driveways) if carried out
properly. In addition, the attorney notes that the city may include utility
connection fees (capital reimbursement) for those property owners who desire to
finance those fees via LID. In all cases, the attorney advises the city to use an
"application and waiver" form to ensure a clear record of the owner's request and
consent to accept the additional assessment. Once the additional work is
completed, a new final assessment roll hearing process would be required to
establish the revised and final assessment roll.
7(b)
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The engineering office has reviewed both LID projects with regard to the desire
for utility stubs and driveways on vacant properties (see exhibit 2). Cost
considerations reflect that the installation of utility stubs "after the fact" (after the
street was paved) will cost about 40% more because the street and sidewalk must
be cut to accommodate the stub extension. The LID attorney advises that the city
could either: absorb the extra cost and assess the same cost per stub throughout
the LID; or not assess any stub cost within the LID but require full payment of the
actual stub cost at the time of connection (fixture).
B) The construction records reflect a wide disparity in driveway cost between LID
148 and 149. Engineering estimates the expected cost to install a driveway "after
the fact" at about $2,200. However, the LID attorney advises (again) that either
all driveways in an LID be charged the same rate within the LID or exclude the
driveway costs for assessment and collect the reimbursement at the time of
development. To further complicate the driveway question, engineering advises
the driveways are best left out until placement of the home is known, to avoid
having to duplicate the expense by moving the previous driveway to fit actual
development of the lot (in other words, it is likely cheaper for the lot owner to
place the driveway when the house is built).
C) If Council wishes to accommodate the desire of some owners of vacant properties
to install utility stubs and their driveways, staff recommends the following
process:
• Explicit notice to owners of vacant property of their opportunity to add utility
stubs and/or driveways with a fixed application deadline;
• City design, bid and construct the additional work requested by owner
applications;
• Notify all LID participants of revised final assessment roll;
• Conduct hearing on revised final assessment roll;
• Approve ordinance adopting final assessment roll.
D) Staff recommends Council close the Final Assessment Roll hearing and direct that
a Phase B for each of LIDs 148 and 149 be initiated to accommodate additional
utility stub and driveway improvements requested by property owners within the
respective LIDs.

LIDs 148 & 149 Additional Driveways & Utilities Memo
Introduction. Both LID 148 and 149 constructed street improvements in the Kurtzman Park
neighborhood including street reconstruction and paving, curb & gutter, storm drainage facilities,
driveway approaches and sidewalks. In addition, the City constructed certain necessary water and
sewer main improvements as companion projects to the LIDs. The cost for this utility work was not
part of the LIDs, was paid for entirely by City water and sewer rate funds, and was not assessed to
individual properties.
During the Final Assessment Hearing held before City Council, a number of residents raised the
question that they were not afforded the opportunity to have utility stubs extended to vacant lots
that they owned, or to have driveway approaches installed at those lots. Council has requested
that staff review these concerns and provide information regarding what information was provided
to property owners during the LID process and the costs of installation of utility service stubs and
driveway approaches.
The LID Process. During the initial LID development process (formation) for both LIDs, property
owners were notified of the efforts to form the LID and construct public infrastructure improvements
along the frontage of their properties in the form of individual mailings (letters). Those letters invited
each property owner to contact City staff for more information on the improvements and impacts
and benefits to their property. In addition, at least two Public Open Houses were held to provide
information to residents and property owners and to seek input from them. Notices of these Open
Houses were posted as legal notices in the Tri -City Herald as well as mailed to each property
owner. City Council took public testimony at the Public Open Houses. That testimony was
provided to staff who incorporated suggestions, as applicable, into the design of the project.
At the start of the construction phase of each project, the Public Works Construction Inspector
assigned to the projects attempted to contact each resident property owner to advise them of the
construction activities that were about to start and coordinate the location of any utility service
connections and driveway approaches. The Inspector did not contact property owners of vacant,
undeveloped property. The assigned Inspector made numerous contacts with residents and
owners throughout the construction phase, answering questions, providing information and
assistance on coordination of construction and individual needs and schedules.
a Page 1
Design & construction of utility connections and driveway access approaches. The design
efforts included providing utility service connections and driveway approaches to all developed lots.
Such improvements were depicted on the contract documents and included in the respective
contract bid schedules. Engineering and Planning staff attempted to work with each property
owner during the design phase and /or at the start of construction to install any utility service lines in
the appropriate location and to coordinate the width and location of driveway approaches. During
the construction phase, many driveways were adjusted, modified and relocated in response to
property owner requests. Utility service connections were also adjusted and relocated to
accommodate property owner requests.
Utility stubs and driveway approaches were included in the project in accordance with the
provisions of PMC 12.04.100 for the number and width of driveways to residential lots; and PMC
13.04.030 for water services and meters. In addition, the design was consistent with a long-
standing Public Works policy to not install water or sewer service stubs or driveway access
approaches to undeveloped lots, unless specifically requested by the property owner.
LID 148:
• The City paid to install nearly 800LF of new watermain in the area, at the same time as the
LID street construction.
• Thirty one (31) new water services and meters were set at the right -of -way (property) line of
each property currently connected to City water in order that the City could, in the future,
disconnect those properties from the old watermains located in the alleys and reconnect to
the new mains in the street. The disconnect/reconnect efforts would be undertaken by
Public Works Operations staff on some later developed schedule.
Four (4) sewer service stubs were installed, by construction change order, at the request of
the property owner at 615 S. Sycamore Avenue to facilitate the subdividing of that parcel.
The amount of the change order for the four sewer stubs was added to the LID assessment
for the newly created parcels. Other service connection fees (i.e. water frontage, area and
system fees, water service and tap fees, sewer system fees and sewer tap fees) were paid
by the property owner at the time of development. Sewer frontage and area fees were not
charged as those were included with and paid as part of sewer LID 71 (1965).
• Twenty-three (23) driveway approaches were included in the original design to transition
access between the new street improvements and existing properties.
• In addition, a total of twenty -one (21) driveway approaches to seventeen (17) properties - --
including 8 undeveloped lots -- were added by change order to the construction contract,
at the request of the property owners.
LID 149:
• The City's companion utility project included 12 new water services to properties, in the
design documents. The locations of these services were coordinated with property owners
during the design phase. All of these new services were to developed properties, or
undeveloped properties at the request of the property owner.
• Page 2
• In addition, six (6) water services were added by change order to undeveloped properties
that were being subdivided, at the request of the property owner.
• Three (3) sewer service stubs were included in the original design.
• During construction, seven (7) sewer stubs were added at the request of property owners
who were developing or subdividing undeveloped lots.
• Twenty (20) driveway approaches were included in the original design to accommodate
existing properties.
• In addition, seven (7) driveway approaches were added, by change order, during
construction to accommodate property owner requests.
Current Council Request. Engineering has reviewed the large undeveloped lots within both LIDS
and worked with Planning staff to determine the number of legal lots which each could be
subdivided. Staff has also estimated the costs of construction of water and sewer stubs, as well as,
water and sewer service fees (including frontage and area fees, connection (stub) fees, system
fees, meter, and tap fees). The cost to construct a nominal 20 -ft width driveway approach to each
potential lot was also estimated. That information is detailed in the attached spreadsheet; and
summarized below.
Water fees: Front footage, area and system fees are based on the current established published
rates and compensate the City for capital infrastructure previously installed. The water service
connection fee of $1,015 covers the cost of City staff tapping the main and installing the water
service to the meter box at the property line. The estimated total water connection fees for a typical
64 ft. by 125 ft lot (8,000 SF) would be $2,965.40.
Sewer fees: Front footage, area, system, and tap fees are based on current established published
rates and compensate the City for previously installed capital infrastructure. If the City installs the
sewer stub from the main to the property line there is an additional Sewer Stub Fee of $4,000. The
actual costs incurred for the additional sewer stubs installed with LID 148, as a change order,
equaled $66.52 per linear foot. The estimated total sewer connection fees, including sewer stub,
on the same 8,000 SF lot cited above would be $5,600.52 (using the actual linear foot cost paid
during construction and assuming a stub length of 34 LF. The actual costs for installing the sewer
stubs now will be greater than the costs incurred with the LID construction as the street has now
been paved (current construction estimate is $92.00 per linear foot).
Driveway approaches: Driveway approaches could be installed at each of the potential lots and
would require horizontally cutting the existing curb, excavation of the existing soil, cutting and
removing of the existing 4 -in. sidewalk, placing and compacting crushed surfacing base course and
placement of the 6 -in. thick driveway approach slab and replacement sidewalk. The estimated cost
(today) to install these approaches is $2,270.00. (The installation of nominal 204 wide driveway
approaches during LID 148 was $2,546.04 and $1,262.83 during LID 149.) It should be noted that
the City typically does not install nor require developers of subdivisions to install driveway
approaches until a residence or business is permitted for construction on a given lot. Subdivisions
are required only to install curb & gutter along the streets until a specific lot is permitted for home
construction. This way, the driveway will be installed in the correct location. Both the development
community and the City have found (through experience) that it is very costly to "estimate" the
• Page 3
location of driveways only to have to come back later and tear out the approach, replace curb &
gutter, and reconstruct the driveway approach in a new location. In essence, the builder expends
more than twice the cost of a driveway that is constructed once the layout of the residence is
established.
Fnnancing: Upon consultation with legal counsel, it has been determined that an additional
construction contract could be established to construct the additional utility connections and
driveway approaches. The costs of these improvements would be borne by either the individual
property owner solely or by some partnership between the property owner and the City. The
property owner's portion could be added to his /her LID final assessment amount and financed with
the LID. This financed portion can include the actual sewer stub and driveway approach
construction costs and City service connection fees (which are reimbursement for capital
infrastructure previously constructed). If the property owner chooses to include only the driveway
approach and sewer stub costs in the financing, he /she would still be liable for the other City
service connection fees current at the time of building permit and connection application.
Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need additional information or clarification of the
information provided.

10/7: NO MOTION IS NECESSARY
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. In 2012, Initiative 502 (I -502) legalizing the recreational use of marijuana was
approved by the electorate. I -502 establishes a system, overseen by the State
Liquor Control Board (LCB), to license, regulate and tax the production,
processing and sale of marijuana. The licensing of marijuana production,
processing and sales will be handled by the LCB similar to the process for liquor
licenses.
B. The LCB has announced that rules for production, processing and retail sales of
marijuana will be effective on November 16, 2013 and that the LCB will accept
applications for all license types on November 18, 2013.
C. City Council approved Resolution 3507 on September 3, 2013 establishing a
moratorium on City issuance of all types of licenses related to recreational
marijuana.
D. Instituting a moratorium requires that a public hearing be conducted to address the
propriety of the moratorium. Through Resolution 3507, Council also set October
7th as the date for the conduct of that public hearing. Comments received may be
catalogued for use in continuing, extending or repealing the moratorium,
depending on the pace of developing specific land use and licensing regulations
for Pasco.
E. The State operating budget has directed the LCB to work with the Departments of
Revenue and Health to develop recommendations to the Legislature regarding the
interaction of medical marijuana and the recreational marijuana system. The
deadline for these final recommendations is January 14th, 2014 so the
recommendations are available for the 2014 Legislative Session.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. Issuing city business licenses for possession and sale of marijuana conflicts with
Federal law as marijuana is currently a Schedule 1 drug under the Federal
Controlled Substances Act. As a controlled substance, the possession, sales,
production and processing of marijuana is illegal at the Federal level.
B. Statewide - there is a great amount of uncertainty on the direction of local
regulations regarding this issue. Pasco's moratorium is intended to provide
adequate time to clarify the Federal position on recreational marijuana, research
7(c)
other examples of local regulations, learn from the experiences of other
municipalities that have adopted local regulations, and incorporate any new
legislative directives as a result of the 2014 Legislative Session.
C. Once the 2014 State Legislative Session has concluded, staff will finalize
proposed regulations with the Planning Commission and return to Council with a
recommended set of local regulations.
D. If Council concurs with this direction, staff will return to Council at the next
regular meeting with a proposed resolution and work plan extending the
moratorium for up to an additional 6 months — or September of 2014.
RESOLUTION NO. SD
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DECLARING A
MORATORIUM PROHIBITING PRODUCING, PROCESSING AND RETAIL SALES OF
RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING THEREON.
WHEREAS, Initiative 502 was passed by the voters of the State of Washington in November
2012 providing a framework which marijuana producers, processors, and retailers can become licensed by
the State of Washington; and
WHEREAS, under Initiative 502, the Washington State Liquor Control Board (Board) is tasked
with the responsibility to adopt regulations governing the licensing and operation of marijuana producers,
processors, and retailers, and the Board is currently working on the regulations and is projecting that the
regulations will be issued later this year; and
WHEREAS, collective gardens and marijuana production, processing, and retailing uses must be
addressed in the City's zoning code, but the impacts of these uses are still largely unknown and the
regulations that the City will need to address them are uncertain pending the Board's adoption of its
licensing regulations and procedures; and
WHEREAS, possession and use of marijuana for any purpose, including medical use, remains
illegal under Federal Law. Marijuana is listed as a Schedule I drug under the Federal Controlled
Substance Act. Despite efforts by the Governor and the State Attorney General to get some clarity from
the U.S. Attorney General, it is still unclear, how the federal government would respond to the state and
local governments who issue permits in compliance with state law; and
WHEREAS, there are several lawsuits pending, which would eventually impact regulations
related to marijuana production, distribution, sales and use; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that producing, processing, and retail sales of recreational
marijuana may require an increased risk to health and safety, require increased police and code
enforcement activities, and affect the use and enjoyment of surrounding properties without appropriate
regulations; and
WHEREAS, unless the City acts immediately to address production, processing and retail sales
of marijuana, and other marijuana- related uses, such uses may be able to locate in the city without
regulation and thereby have adverse impacts on the city and its citizens; and
WHEREAS, the City intends to develop appropriate zoning and land use regulations to
accommodate the production, processing, and retail sales of recreational marijuana to the extent such
activities do not conflict with Federal Law; and
WHEREAS, Washington law authorizes the City to adopt a moratorium with a public hearing
which must be held within sixty (60) days of the date of the adoption of a moratorium; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is in the best interest of the City that a
moratorium be established to provide the City an opportunity to study appropriate regulations for
Resolution - 1
production, processing and retail sales of recreational marijuana and to develop a work plan for the
implementation of such regulations that comply with Federal Law; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Moratorium Established. A moratorium is imposed prohibiting the production,
processing, and/or retail sale of recreational marijuana within all zoning districts within the City of Pasco;
and a moratorium is imposed on the filing with the City, or the Courts of Competent Jurisdiction, any
applications for licenses, permits, or other approvals for the processing, production, and/or retail sale of
marijuana.
Section 2. Term of Moratorium. The moratorium imposed by this Resolution shall become
effective on the date hereof, and shall continue in effect for an initial period of six (6) months, unless
repealed, extended, or modified by the City Council after a public hearing and the entry of appropriate
findings of fact as required by RCW 35A.63.220, provided, however, that the moratorium shall
automatically expire upon the effective date of zoning regulations adopted by the City Council to address
the processing, production, and/or retail sales of recreational marijuana within the City of Pasco.
Section 3. Public Hearina_. A public hearing shall be scheduled for 7:00 p.m., or as soon
thereafter as the matter may be heard, on the 7i6 day of October, 2013, at the City Council Chambers of
the Pasco City Hall, where it will hear evidence and consider the comments and testimony of those
wishing to speak at such public hearing regarding the moratorium.
Section 4. Preliminary Findings. Following the public hearing, the City Council shall adopt
Findings of Fact justifying its actions before the public hearing, and determine whether a work plan is
necessary to address the issues involving the processing, production, and/or retail sales of recreational
marijuana within the City and if appropriate, extending the moratorium to complete the work plan and
implementation of appropriate regulations.
Section 5. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect upon its passage
and signature below.
PASS by the City Council of the City of Pasco, Washington, as its regular meeting dated this

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. Old Standard Life Insurance, the owner of property abutting Sandifur Parkway,
petitioned for the vacation of south 29 feet of right -of -way in the 9200 block of
Sandifur Parkway. The right -of -way in question is located to the north of the
Broadmoor Outlet Mall.
B. The City Council set October 7, 2013 as the date to consider the vacation.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. Sandifer Parkway was developed in the mid- 1990's with a right -of -way of 102
feet with the exception of the portion of the right -of -way abutting the original
Broadmoor Park plat. Most of the excess right -of -way adjacent to Broadmoor
Park was vacated in 1996, shortly after the outlet mall was completed. However a
small segment of Sandifur Parkway west of Road 92 was inadvertently excluded
from the 1996 vacation. This segment of Sandifur Parkway still contains 131 feet
of right -of -way. The current owner of the abutting property has petitioned for the
vacation of the remaining 29 feet of excess right -of -way.
B. Utility providers and the Engineering Division have reviewed the proposed
vacation. The PUD has asked that an easement be retained to match the 20 foot
easement to the east and west of the proposed vacation area Additionally two
easements are needed for an existing sewer line and water line lying within the
proposed vacation area.

SUBJECT: Parking Ordinance Revisions
I. REFERENCE(S):
September 24, 2013
Workshop Mtg.: 9/30/13
Regular Mtg.: 10/7/13
1. Vicinity Map — Manzanita Lane
2. Ordinance
H. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
09/30: Discussion
10/07: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. adding parking
restrictions on certain streets, and further, authorize publication
by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The Engineering Division received a request from a resident and a Council
Member to review the parking conditions along Manzanita Lane just north of "A"
Street. The Council Member and resident both expressed concern with allowing
parking along both sides of the street during evening hours. There is significant
use of on- street parking due to limited parking spaces inside the new apartment
complex, the Tierra Vida Apartments. Manzanita Lane is a 36-foot wide section
(measured face-of -curb to face -of- curb). Parking is currently allowed along both
sides of the street.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Engineering staff has performed an evaluation of Manzanita Lane and noted
limited street width to accommodate emergency vehicles and limited sight
distance when vehicles are parked close to "A" Street. Allowing parking on both
sides of the street results in a very narrow travel path, ultimately causing vehicle
congestion and more importantly pedestrian safety issues and emergency response
access issues.
D) Engineering recommends restricting parking along both side of Manzanita Lane
from "A" Street to approximately 150 feet north. This restriction will provide
additional width for emergency response vehicles, improve pedestrian safety and
sight distance for south bound drivers on Manzanita Lane.
E) This ordinance will amend Section 10.56 080 (Schedule III, Parking Prohibited at
All Times on Certain Streets) of the Pasco Municipal Code to add and/or revise
the following streets to the list of prohibited parking streets:
Add: Manzanita Lane, both sides from "A" Street to 150 feet North.

HEARING DATE: 8/15/2013
ACTION DATE: 9/19/2013
APPLICANT: NICO Investment LLC
4216 Santa Ana Loop
Pasco WA 99301
REQUEST: REZONE Rezone nronerty from C -3 !General Commercial) to
R -3 (Medium - Densitv Residentiall.
1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Legal: Lots 13 -17, Block 5, NP Plat.
Location: 120, 124, and 132 W. Shoshone Street
Property Size: Approximately 0.8 acres
2. ACCESS: The property has access from W. Shoshone Street along the
northern property line and N. 1s' Avenue to the west.
3. UTILITIES: All utilities are available to the site.
4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is currently zoned C -3 (General
Commercial) and is occupied by apartment buildings. Surrounding
properties are zoned and developed as follows:
North I -1 (Light Industrial) -Commercial
South I -1 (Light Industrial) - Commercial
East I -1 (Light Industrial) - Heavy Commercial
West R -3 (Medium - Density Residential) - SFDUs
5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map
designates this area for high - density residential 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 0.8 acres fronting W. Shoshone Street along the
northern property line and North 1st Avenue to the west. The lot was platted in
1889 by the Burlington Northern Railroad as one of the earliest additions to the
1
original Town of Pasco. By 1938 the block was zoned C -1 ( "Commercial
District "), later to be rezoned to its current C -3 (General Commercial).
The site is developed with four residential structures, including two multi-
family units. The structures on site were built between 1961 and 1967.
The current use is multi - family apartments and is considered a legal
nonconforming use in the C -3 zone. Applicant wishes to bring the multi - family
use into conformity with the zoning ordinance by rezoning the parcels to R -3
(Medium - Density Residential) so as to allow replacement, enhancement and /or
expansion of the multi - family residential use.
Properties to the north, east, and south are zoned industrial and contain
general commercial and light industrial uses. Properties to the west are zoned
medium - density residential and are developed primarily with single - family
units, with a few multi- family uses. The site is also within walling distance of
Downtown Pasco, the Pasco Intermodal Train Station as well as Pasco City
Hall.
The City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan shows the property to be within a high -
density residential designation. The R -3 Zone allows for up to one dwelling per
3,000 square feet for multiple family dwellings, with up to 60% lot coverage and
building heights up to 35 feet without a special permit.
The City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map indicates the property in
question should be utilized for high- density residential uses. Land Use Policy
LU -3 -B encourages "infill and density including planned unit developments to
protect open space and critical areas, and provide recreational areas and
amenities in support of more intensive, walkable neighborhoods." Land Use
Policy LU -3 -E calls for designating "areas for higher- density residential
development where utilities and transportation facilities enable efficient use of
capital resources." Housing Policy H -1 -B encourages "the location of medium
and high density housing in locations that will avoid the need for access
through lower density residential neighborhoods." Housing Policy H -1 -D directs
the City to "avoid large concentrations of high- density housing." Housing Policy
H -2 -A calls for the City to "allow for a full range of residential environments
including single family homes, townhouses, condominiums, apartments, and
manufactured housing." Housing Policy H -4 -B requires the City to "maintain
development regulations and standards that control the scale and density of
accessory buildings and homes to maintain compatibility with other residential
uses."
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 City is gradually and consistently developing its vacant residential land.
This location is part of the potential infill area still close to downtown. The
2
Comprehensive Plan Maps from at least 1963 to the present have designated this
area for high- density residential uses.
2. Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health,
safety and general welfare:
The rezone will legalize and allow the continuance of a high - density transition or
buffer between residential areas to the west and industrial zones to the north,
east and south. Land Use Policy LU -3 -B, was designed to encourage "infill and
density including planned unit developments to protect open space and critical
areas," and allow for "higher- density residential development where utilities and
transportation facilities enable efficient use of capital resources," in keeping with
Land Use Policy LU -3 -E. This rezone would still align with that intended goal
and also "allow for a full range of residential environments including single
family homes, townhouses, condominiums, apartments, and manufactured
housing," consistent with Housing Policy H -2 -A.
3. The effect it will have on the nature and value of adjoining property and
the Comprehensive Plan:
This development would legalize and allow the continuance of a high- density
transition or buffer between residential areas to the west and industrial zones to
the north, east, and south.
4. The effect on the property owners if the request is not granted:
If the request is not granted the property will continue as a legal nonconforming
use, and /or change from multi family residential use to a use allowed in the C -3
(general commercial) zone.
5. The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the property:
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the site for high - density
residential uses. The proposed zone change would not contravene 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 is currently zoned C -3 (General Commercial).
2. Applicant is requesting a zone change to R -3 (Medium - Density
Residential) to bring the current legal nonconforming residential use
into conformity and to allow for expansion of the residential use.
3. The site was zoned C -1 ( "Commercial District ") in_ 1938 and rezoned
sometime between then and the present to C -3 (General Commercial).
4. The site is developed with four residential structures, including two
multi - family units. These structures were built between 1961 and
1967.
5. The site borders an R -3 (Medium - Density Residential) Zone to the
west which is developed with single - family dwellings and a few multi-
family units, and an I -1 (Light Industrial) Zone to the north, east, and
south, containing general commercial and light industrial uses.
6. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for high- density
residential uses.
7. The property was platted in 1889 by the Burlington Northern Railroad
as one of the earliest additions to the original Town of Pasco.
8. The site is developed with four residential structures, including two
multi - family units.
9. The purpose of the High- Density Residential area is to serve as a
buffer or transition between low- density residential and
commercial /industrial districts.
10. The R -3 Zone allows for one dwelling per 3,000 square feet for
multiple family dwellings, or up to 68 units.
11. The R -3 Zone allows for building heights up to 35 feet without a
special permit.
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 many of the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan also encourages the
development of a variety of residential environments (Goal H -2) and the
Plan supports efforts to provide affordable housing to meet the needs of
low and moderate income households (Goal H -5).
2. The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially
detrimental.
This development would legalize and allow the continuance of a high -
density transition or buffer between residential areas to the west and light
industrial zones to the north, east, and south.
3. There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.
Adjacent residential development and growth within the City make the
zone change appropriate, timely, and consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan. The rezone would create a high - density transition or
4
buffer between residential areas to the west and light industrial zones to
the north, east, and south.
4. Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant
adverse impacts from the proposal.
No special conditions are necessary, as any future building would be
required to comply with current city of Pasco site design and building
standards.
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 is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
MOTION for Findings of Fact:
I move to adopt findings of fact and conclusions therefrom as contained
in the September 19, 2013 staff report.
MOTION for Recommendation:
I move based on the findings of fact and conclusions as adopted the
Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve the
applicant's request to rezone Lots 13 -17, Block 5, NP Plat to R -3
(Medium - Density Residential) Zone.

Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, explained the property
in question contains less than an acre and is currently developed with multi-
family structures and is a legal non - conforming use in the C -3 Zone. It can
continue to exist but when there is a legal non - conforming use there can be
problems with a bank or lender. The applicant would like the ability to be able to
replace, refinance, enhance or sell this property and making this a legal
conforming use would allow the applicant to do so. The Comprehensive Plan
indicates the area is reserved for high density residential development.
Nicholas Cooper, 4216 Santa Ana Loop, spoke on behalf of this rezone application.
Due to the legal non - conforming use it present many financing problems.
Chairman Cruz asked the applicant if there was anything in the staff report that
gave him concern.
Mr. Cooper replied no.
With no further comments the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Hoekstra moved, seconded by Commission 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 19, 2013
Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The three cities (Kennewick, Pasco and Richland) as urged by the Visitor and
Convention Bureau in 2004, created the Tri- Cities Regional Hotel/Motel
Commission for the purpose of establishing a Tourism Promotion Area (TPA).
The purpose of the TPA is to increase visitor utilization of the hotels and motels
in the Tri- Cities. The promotional expenditures are supported by a special
assessment of $1.50 /night for any of the hotel /motel rooms included in the TPA
program (those facilities with more than 40 rooms). The TPA has operated for
about eight years and has proven to be very helpful in not only increased
promotion of visitor traffic, but the Commission has used a portion of the funds to
encourage various organizations to select the Tri- Cities for their activity, whether
a convention or sporting event.
B) The Hotel/Motel Commission recently determined that the room assessment
should be increased to $2 /night (statutory maximum), so as to increase revenue
for the TPA by about 30 %. The additional revenue is desired by the Commission
to increase the TPA support of the various efforts to expand tourism and visitor
traffic to the Tri- Cities (see references #1 and #2).
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Inasmuch as the TPA room assessment is self - imposed by the hotel industry
within the Tri- Cities, the requested increase should be accommodated by city
action. The purposes for which the funds are used benefit the visitor economy of
the Tri- Cities, generating additional economic benefit to the community in
general (and the cities in particular via sales tax and lodging tax receipts).

The Tri -City Regional Hotel -Motel Commission was formed in 2004 for the purpose of establishing a tourism
promotion area. As a result, with the support of the local hotel community, a tourism promotion assessment
(TPA) was created to generate increased funding for the specific purpose of marketing the Tri- Cities as a preferred
destination for conventions, sports tournaments and events, as well as leisure travel.
The TPA has been an extremely successful endeavor for the Tri- Cities tourism industry. The collection of the
assessment began in October of 2004 and since that time we have been able to provide grants and financial
support to 152 conventions and sporting events, creating an economic impact of $130 million in visitor spending
in the community. In addition we have been able promote the Tri- Cities with spring and fall television ad
campaigns in the Greater Seattle Area for seven consecutive years. We have been able to improve our marketing
materials, launch a new web site, create a destination video, and add sales staff to assist in convention and sports
recruitment.
Local hoteliers and city partners have been very pleased with the return on investment as a result of instituting
the tourism promotion assessment. The current rate of the assessment in the Tri- Cities is $1.50 per room. The
legislation (RCW 35.101) allows that the assessment can be increased to as much as $2.00 per room, as is the
practice in Spokane, Yakima, Vancouver and Seattle.
Recently the Commissioners of the Tri -City Hotel -Motel Commission unanimously passed a resolution to increase
the assessment in the Tri- Cities from $1.50 to $2.00. On August 14 a meeting was held for all hotels that
participate in the assessment to share the details about the increase and to ensure that the industry fully supports
the increase. Although not every hotel invited chose to attend, there were representatives from Fairfield Inn,
Holiday Inn Express, Red Lion Hotels (representing four hotel properties), Best Western, Courtyard by Marriott,
Hilton Garden Inn, Baymont Inn, Clover Island Inn, Hampton Inn and the GuestHouse International in attendance
and there was overall support by the hotels to increase the assessment to $2.00 per room, preferably as soon as
January 1, 2014.
The proceeds from an increase to the TPA would be used to further support the sponsorship of future
conventions and sporting events, the addition of a sports marketing manager to assist in recruiting new
tournaments and sporting events to the Tri- Cities; increased advertising, the addition of a marketing manager to
promote the growing wine industry and the increase in accessibility to Hanford, especially as the Hanford Land
Use Plan and Manhattan National Historical Park become a reality.
The next step is to secure the support of the Pasco City Council, as well as the support of the Kennewick and
Richland City Councils. We would welcome the opportunity to present the merits of an increase to the Pasco City
Council.
We have provided the attached copy of the resolution passed by the Tri -City Regional Hotel -Motel Commission on
July 18, 2013. We are hopeful that the city council will support our request and will pass an ordinance to allow for
the increase to $2.00 in Pasco, and will also approve an amendment to the interlocal agreement amongst the
three cities allowing for the increase.
Mr. Crutchfield, we appreciate the time and effort that you have dedicated to the Tri -City Regional Hotel -Motel
Commission and welcome any questions or comments you may have.
Sincerely,

11 -158.
1
ANALYSIS
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has applied to
renew their special permit allowing farming operations on a site zoned
Residential Transition (RT) within 1,000 feet of a residential zone. Pursuant to
PMC § 25.20.040(1) commercial agriculture is a permitted conditional use in
the RT zone; thereby requiring special permit review. Also, pursuant to PMC §
25.70.110(2)(b) the production of alfalfa or pasture grasses on acreage of any
size are permitted uses within all zoning districts. Finally, pursuant to PMC §
25.86.035(1) for commercial agricultural uses listed as conditional uses [PMC
25.20.040(1)] the applicant shall be required to submit a conservation plan
approved by the Farm Service Agency.
In 2008, DNR received special permit approval for farming on the site under
Master File #SP08 -001; with a validity period of up to five (5) years. The special
permit has since expired, creating the need for renewal. Approval conditions of
the 2008 special permit limited crop types to alfalfa and pasture grasses. As
part of this application the applicant is currently requesting not to be limited in
the types of crops to be grown on the site.
The site currently contains less than one quarter of a full crop circle with the
eastern one third being unfarmed and in a natural sagebrush condition. The
unfarmed portion serves as a physical buffer between the farm and the
residence to the east.
In review of this proposal staff has identified three issues for consideration by
the Planning Commission: 1) dust control; 2) noise and 3) the eventual
conversion to a residential use.
During grading and tilling of the site between harvests and plantings, fugitive
dust could potentially impact adjacent lands if not properly monitored and
controlled. This impact would be eliminated once a crop is planted. Staff
suggests the applicant be required to maintain a viable water source on site
during soil disturbing activities to prevent dust from leaving the site. The
existing FCID irrigation water is a sufficient source to manage dust.
Often commercial agricultural activities occur at odd hours which could
potentially impact adjacent residences. Staff suggests the applicant be required
to submit a complaint monitoring plan to help alleviate these impacts. At
minimum, the plan should include potential hours of operation, a contact
person where complaints can be submitted and a preliminary plan outlining
how noise complaints will be addressed.
The planting of wheat and other similar cereal grains, within a suburban
neighborhood brings with it a concern for fire safety. Wheat fields become very
dry prior to harvest surrounding the site and other homes nearby; planting
2
wheat in a neighborhood is a concern. The simplest way to address the fire
safety concerns is not to permit the planting of grains. However, grains can
sometimes be an effective cover crop to prevent dust from blowing. If grains
are to be used for a cover crop, restrictions should be placed on their usage to
address fire safety concerns presented by wheat.
The DNR owns approximately 400 acres (including the subject property) west of
Road 68. The property is encircled with urban development. The city has made
substantial effort to facilitate the urban development of this property, including
a conceptual land use plan reviewed by the Commission in late 2012. The
recently adopted State budget contains a provision that will require portions of
this DNR ownership to be sold and /or developed. Staff will research the budget
provisions applicable to the subject property and report to the Planning
Commission in September. Additional or revised conditions may be appropriate
as a result of this research.
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 parcel is currently 411.6 acres in area.
2. The "site" is an approximately 25 acre portion of the parcel lying south of
the FCID irrigation canal.
3. Parcel number 117 - 510 -016 is zoned RT (Residential Transition).
4. The site fronts Argent Road.
5. The subject site is within 1,000 feet of a residential zone.
6. The subject site is bordered on the east and south by the City Limits
boundary.
7. The subject site is located within the I -182 Overlay District.
8. The subject site is bordered to the west by Chiawana High School.
9. The subject site is bordered to the north by the FCID irrigation canal.
10. The site is within the Urban Growth Area boundary.
11. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the parcel for low- density residential
uses.
12. The FCID irrigation water system serves the site via a pump located on
an undeveloped portion of the Chiawana High School property.
3
13. The applicant is requesting not to be limited in the types of crops to be
grown on the site.
14. Washington State Department of Ecology water rights permit # 53 -28876
(assigned to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources)
applies to the site.
15. Farms are listed as permitted conditional uses in the RT zone [PMC
25.20.040(1)].
16. Pursuant to PMC § 25.70.110(2)(b) the production of alfalfa or pasture
grasses on acreage of any size are permitted uses within all zoning
districts.
17. Pursuant to PMC § 25.86.035(1), commercial agricultural uses listed as
conditional uses requires the applicant to submit a conservation plan
approved by the Farm Service Agency.
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:
(1) Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives
and text of the Comprehensive Plan?
The Comprehensive Plan designates the proposed site for low- density
residential development. The Comprehensive Plan encourages urban
development within the Pasco Urban Growth Boundary. Agricultural
uses are not specifically addressed in the Comprehensive Plan.
(2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure?
The proposed use will have negligible impacts on public infrastructure.
Crop circle farms are visited infrequently, generating almost no vehicle
traffic on a regular basis.
(3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in
harmony with existing or intended character of the general vicinity?
The existing character and intended character of the vicinity is
predominately residential. Residential development in the vicinity has
developed around and a variety of agricultural uses for many years. No
additional site modifications beyond ones existing are proposed as part
of this special permit application.
El
(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?
No construction of any kind is proposed and no development will occur if
the special permit is granted.
(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 farm lies south of the I -182 freeway. The farming operation
will not create more noise, fumes, vibrations, traffic and flashing lights
than the freeway. Dust and noise may potentially impact nearby uses. To
address the issue of dust, staff suggests the applicant be required to
maintain a viable water source on site during soil disturbing activities to
prevent dust from leaving the site. Staff suggests the applicant be
required to submit 24 -hour contact information where complaints can be
submitted.
(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?
The proposed farm is only an interim use, and will not impede the
development of future uses; nor will it become a nuisance to future
permitted uses. The existence of numerous farming operations within the
I -182 area generally demonstrates that the proposed use should not
become a nuisance to permitted uses nor endanger public health and
safety.

Management Plan prior to beginning farming operations on the site;

Planning Commission Minutes
8/15/2013
A. Special Permit Farming Operations in an RT (_Residential
Transition) Zone (Washington Dept. of
Natural Resources) IMF# 3P 2013 -0131
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from
staff.
Shane O'Neill, Planner I, explained the application involved the renewal of the
Department of Natural Resources special permit for a farming operation in an
RT (Residential Transition) Zone. Mr. O Neill reviewed the site on Argent Road
east of the high school. The farm contains about a 1/4 of a crop circle and is
irrigated from the Franklin County Irrigation Canal. Various aspects of the
written report were then reviewed along with a discussion on proposed
conditions that were similar to the conditions for the original application.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, briefly reminded
the Planning Commission that late in 2012 they reviewed a draft concept plan
developed for the DNR property located east of Road 68 that included the
proposed farm site. He recommended the public hearing be opened and
continued to allow more research for the record at the September meeting.
Staff would like to research the budget provisions to make sure when DNR is
required to dispose of the property and under what circumstances that
disposal might occur under.
Chairman Cruz stated that he didn't have an issue with cereal grains on this
land based on its size and distance from development.
Toby McKay, 2708 N. Road 60, spoke on behalf of the application. He stated
that he was supportive of continuing the permit. He stated the DNR already
has a resource management plan that is in place and is just as strict as any
conservation plan that would be developed so he did not feel that should be a
condition as it would complicate things. He addressed the complaint
monitoring plan and said that they haven't received a single complaint in the
past five years so perhaps they don't need a plan. Lastly, the permit is limited
to two years. He would like the permit to be valid for five years in case plans
change.
Commissioner Hoekstra asked the applicant to explain DNR's contribution is to
the local area in regards to proposed site.
Mr. McKay responded that the Department of Natural Resources leases the
property to local farmers at fair market rates. They lease out some of the land
to other local businesses as well, such as Lowe's and Maverick. They are not
well suited for residential which is why there is a need to transition the parcel.
The State doesn't pay property taxes. In lieu of property tax, the lessees pay a
lease hold excise tax which is equivalent to 12.84% of the value of the lease.
Chairman Cruz asked the applicant what his thoughts were on cereal crop
limitations.
Mr. McKay answered that he doesn't believe cereal crops pose a large threat
but if the City felt strongly on limitations the they would include that condition
into the lease. It is important to have some flexibility on the crop to recover
investment and it would also allow for the rotation of crops to lessen the needs
for chemicals for pest control.
With no further comments the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Anderson moved, seconded by Commissioner Khan, to continue
the public hearing, schedule deliberations and adoption of the findings of fact
and development of a recommendation for the City Council for the September
19, 2013 Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

FROM AUGUST 15. 2013 MEETINGI
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, discussed the special
permit application for farming operations in an RT (Residential Transition) Zone.
Since the previous meeting, a few changes had been made and one condition
added to the approval conditions, including; The applicant shall submit a copy of
the applicable Resource Management Plan prior to beginning farming operations
on the site, Prior to beginning farming operations on the site, the applicant must
submit 24 -hour contact information where complaints can be submitted and prior
to July 1, 2015 staff will review with the Planning Commission the status of the
special permit in relation to the DNR budgetary disposal directive.
Commissioner Hilliard asked if the condition added regarding the review of the
special permit in relation to the DNR budgetary disposal directive was a staff
responsibility to bring back to the Planning Commission.
Mr. White responded that is was a staff responsibility.
The public hearing was opened and closed without public comment.
Commissioner Khan moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to adopt the
findings of fact and conclusions therefrom as contained in the September 19, 2013
staff report. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Khan moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, based on the
findings of fact and conclusions as adopted the Planning Commission recommend
the City Council grant a special permit to allow farming operations on that portion
of parcel # 117 - 510 -016 lying south of the FCID irrigation canal. The motion
passed unanimously.

10/7: MOTION: I move to approve Amendment No. 1 to the Interlocal Agreements
with Pasco School District providing standards for security fencing at Maya
Angelou Elementary, James McGee Elementary, Virgie Robinson Elementary and
any fixture joint project sites and, further, authorize the City Manager to sign the
Agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The City and Pasco School District have had joint park/school sites for many
years with shared space and maintenance of these areas. This has been beneficial
to both parties and provided additional space for the school and park users.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Because of various incidents at schools around the nation, most recently at Sandy
Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, the school district is fencing
off access to schools during school hours, which will affect the joint park/school
sites.
B) Attached are maps showing where the school district and the city propose to place
the fences at the joint sites. The school district will pay for all materials,
installation and modifications to the fences at the current sites and future
development, such as School #14 at Road 60 & Sandifixr to be built in 2014. The
placement of the fences was discussed at the August Park Board meeting and the
Board concurs with staff that it is better to keep the field areas intact rather than
splitting them up and losing the use of the field altogether.
C) Gates will be added at various locations allowing for easy access during non-
school hours. Most of the use of these parks is after school hours. Gates can be
made easily identifiable by archways or decorative posts.
D) City and District staff met and discussed the issues brought up at the Council
Workshop on August 12. The placement of gates will be coordinated with Police
and Fire Departments. It was determined that moving fences closer to the schools
would be a safety issue for evacuation purposes. Locating the fences where they
are proposed would allow enough room to evacuate the school and also keep track
of where the children are during an emergency.
E) Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Interlocal Agreements.

SUBJECT: Customer Service Representative Position
I. REFERENCE(S):
None
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
10/7: MOTION: I move to authorize the City Manager to upgrade the % time
Department Assistant I position to a full time Department Assistant II position
in the Administrative and Community Services Finance Division.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV, HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The 2013 licensing cycle highlighted the issue of trying to meet continuing
increases in customer service volume using the same staffing levels from nearly
eight years ago. The last time positions were added to the Customer Service Unit
was in 2006. From 2006 -2010 licensing and permit volumes remained fairly
constant while the number of utility billing services continued to grow.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) From 2010 -2013, July year -to -date animal licensing activity has tripled and the
licensing "peak period" has shifted from 3 heavy months in 2010 to 6 heavy
months in 2013. Business licenses follow a similar pattern, but also rise again
later in the year as Code Enforcement activities occur. This prompts additional
customer traffic, animal licenses in the first half of the year and business licenses
in the second half of the year. Staff will be creating a fourth window to better
serve the public during the peak times stated above and dates close to pay days
when lines are the longest.
B) In 2013 the business license function was moved to Finance from the City Clerk's
office. This was done for two reasons: 1) increased number of public records
request in City Clerk's office and 2) one -stop service where an applicant can
apply for a business license and pay at the same time and location. This
combined the duties of the clerk's assistant and Customer Service Representative,
leaving a staff shortage due to approximately .5 FTE being re- assigned from
business license support to public records requests (due to the swell in volume of
those requests); thus actually reducing the CSR resources to meet the growing
utility/licensing demand.
C) After this reorganization there remains an unfilled N time Department Assistant I
position. Staff is requesting this position be upgraded to full time Department
Assistant II, Customer Service Representative and to fill the position this October
to allow for training to be ready for the December rush. Funding for this will
come from the unfilled Department Assistant I and Lead Accounting positions in
2013.
D) Staff is requesting approval to upgrade the 3/4 time Department Assistant I
position to a full time Department Assistant II.
