Rezone Rezone from C-1 (Retail Business) to C-3 (General Business) (Juan Ochoa)_(MF# Z 2013-0061 Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Shane O'Neill, Planner 1, discussed the rezone from C-I (Retail Business) to C-3 (General Business). He stated that there had been no additional changes to the staff report since the previous meeting. -1- Commissioner Bachart moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to adopt the findings of fact and conclusions therefrom contained in the January 16, 2014 staff report. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Bachart moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, based on the findings of fact and conclusions as adopted the Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve the rezone from C-1 (Retail Business) to C-3 (General Business) for Franklin County tax parcels 112-082-050 and 112-082-078. The motion passed unanimously. PUBLIC HEARINGS: A. Special Permit Location of a health clinic at Ochoa Middle School (Tri-Cities Community Health) (MF# SP 20113-007) Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Shane O'Neill, Planner I, discussed the special permit for the location of a health clinic at Ochoa Middle School. He explained that the application was continued from the previous meeting. The applicant, Tri-Cities Community Health, is looking to build and operate and small clinic on the Ochoa Middle School campus. The north half of the property is zoned C-3 (General Business) and the south half is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential) and is on the school property. The applicant has proposed to construct a modular building and the staff report has conditioned it to be of similar materials as the existing school which indirectly requires it to be a more permanent structure. Commissioner Bachart asked for clarification on who may be patients at the clinic. Mr. O'Neill responded that the applicant would be best to answer. Commissioner Bachart asked about a condition taken out of the staff report regarding no media or off-premise advertising being permitted. Mr. O'Neill stated that the restriction has been removed and it will be allowed. Al Cordova, 88101 W. Skagit Avenue, spoke on behalf of the applicant as the Chief Executive Officer for Tri-Cities Community Health. He explained the State of Washington received a $1 million grant from the Department of Health & Human for school-based clinics to assist students that are primarily underserved and uninsured. Tri-Cities Community Health received $SOO,000 of the Washington State grant. Mr. Cordova explained the proposed clinic would house one Nurse Practitioner and two support staff. The building would be roughly 1,600 square feet and would be open year-round. The clinic would be available to students and their families. The money received will go towards the building as well as operating the clinic. The services will be for general exams, sports physicals, treatment of minor diseases and monitoring chronic diseases. The clinic does not intend to discuss abortion or administering birth control drugs or devices. They will abide by the Washington State Consent Laws for Minors. They don't anticipate the clinic to generate much car traffic. -2- Commissioner Greenaway asked for clarification on who would be able to receive services at this clinic. Mr. Cordova stated the clinic would serve all students in the School District, not just at this school. It is intended to be for students only, for the basis of the grant. If the clinic cannot be operated at capacity they can ask the federal government if siblings may be served and would perhaps add approval for adults in the family if there still isn't capacity. Commissioner Greenaway asked how their student status would be verified. Mr. Cordova responded that at this time he did not know. Chairman Cruz stated that there will have to be patient records and addresses to help verify. Mr. Cordova added they will have forms for consent, demographics, etc. They will be able to gather information. Commissioner Greenaway asked if someone is not allowed on school property due to a criminal record who will screen the patients that use the clinic since because it is a "community" health clinic. Mr. Cordova responded they have conditions to identify who will not be allowed as patients. Chairman Cruz responded that it was a valid question; however, it doesn't change anything for the School District because those people already have restrictions to be on school property and they are putting themselves at substantial risk. Commissioner Greenaway stated that they could also state that since they have a health concern they should be serviced at the health clinic. Chairman Cruz stated that he didn't think that would matter since it is in an area they are not allowed already and doesn't feel that it changes the risk profile. Commissioner Polk asked about collaboration with the School District and if the applicant could elaborate on the health programs discussed in the conditions from the School District. Mr. Cordova answered that if the Administration and School Nurses wish to work with the Clinic Team to conduct health education programs for nutrition, safety, etc. the clinic is willing to help and they would not do programs without cooperation and consent of the school. Commissioner Polk asked the applicant if he saw it as a way to gather information to understand what the needs of the students are or if it would be more for a support system to the school and offer education that they ask. -3- Mr. Cordova responded that they could provide many things the school might request. He also stated that while the clinic is a stand-alone facility, it is part of a much larger system and students whose medical condition require a higher level of expertise could have those services offered. Commissioner Kempf moved, seconded by Commissioner Polk, to close the public hearing and schedule deliberations, the adoption of findings of fact and development of a recommendation for City Council for the February 20, 2014 Planning Commission Meeting. The motion passed four to one, with Commissioner Greenaway dissenting. B. Rezone Rezone from C-1 (Retail Business) to RS-12 (Suburban) (Z 2013-007) (Kevin & Betty Mi1ls) Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, discussed the rezone from C- 1 (Retail Business) to RS-12 (Suburban). He explained that this situation is common in that there are many properties that have fully developed homes on commercially zoned lots. The home owners wish to sell their home and the perspective buyer wishes to eliminate the non-conformity and continue the single-family use of the home. Staff is recommending approval based on the criteria in the Pasco Municipal Code for rezones. Betty Mills, 1215 Gage Boulevard, spoke on behalf of the application and stated they wish to be able to sell the home. Commissioner Kempf moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to close the public hearing and schedule deliberations, the adoption of findings of fact and development of a recommendation for City Council for the February 20, 2014 Planning Commission Meeting. The motion passed unanimously. OTHER BUSINESS: Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, stated that there was a Planning Commissioner opening for the Benton Franklin Community Action Connections and would meet the fourth Thursday of every month at 5:34 p.m. in case any Planning Commissioner would be interested in volunteering. COMMENTS: With no further discussion or business, the Planning Commission was adjourned at 7:31 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Dave McDonald, City Planner -4- REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION MASTER FILE NO: SP2013-007 APPLICANT: Tri-Cities Community Health HEARING DATE: 12/19/13 5151 W. Court St ACTION DATE: l/16/14 Pasco, WA 99301 BACKGROUND REQUEST: SPECIAL PERMIT: Location of a Health Clinic at Ochoa Middle School 1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: That portion of the north half of the southwest quarter of Section 21, Township 9 North Range 30 East WM lying southwesterly of SR 12 except the Mesa Verde Subdivision and except Parcel # 113520093 General Location: 1801 E. Sheppard Street Property Size: Approximately 45.6 acres 2. ACCESS: The site is adjacent East Sheppard Street and currently contains a middle school 3. UTILITIES: Municipal sewer and water currently serve the site. Utility connections to serve the proposed modular building will tap into the utility connections currently serving the school. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site has split zoning. The north half is zoned C-3 (General Business) and the south half is zoned R-1 (Low- Density Residential). The site contains a public middle school. The property to the north is zoned C-3 (General Business) and contains a Caterpillar heavy machinery sales and service dealership. The property to the west is zoned R-1 and is developing with the Mesa Verde subdivision. The site is bound on the east by US Highway 12. The properties to the south are zoned R-1-A and are developed with homes on less than quarter acre lots. 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Government/Public. The Plan does not specifically address health clinics, but various elements of the plan encourage locating businesses in appropriate locations for their anticipated 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. DISCUSSION Tri-Cities Community Health (previously La Clinica) is proposing to locate a health care clinic, on the Ochoa Middle School campus. The clinic will consist of a modular type building of approximately X,176 square feet with six (6) exam rooms and one (1) dental exam room. The clinic is proposed to be located at the northeast corner of the main parking lot near the tennis courts. There are currently about 2,000 health clinics located in or on public school campus in the Country. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is awarding grants to health organizations to expand the number of school health clinics the federal health care bill which directs $200 million toward school based health centers. Tri-Cities Community Health has been awarded a grant to build and operate a clinic at Chiawana High School and Ochoa Middle School. School health clinics provide a wide range of health related services, however clinics proposed for the Pasco School District will limit services to routine follow-up for injuries, immunizations, sports physicals, EPSDT (Early & Periodic Screening, Diagnosis & Treatment Programs), routine colds, coughs, and etc., school nurse referrals and all other non-emergent care visits. The clinic will only serve Pasco School District children. Tri-Cities Community Health indicated in discussions with staff that the clinic may operate year round rather than just during the school year. The proposed non-profit community health clinic is defined as a Community Service Facility under the Zoning Code [PMC 25.86.020(4)] and as such is designated as an unclassified land use requiring review through the special permit process. Unclassified uses are not restricted by zoning district but may be located in any zoning district if granted a special permit. Ochoa Middle School is located mostly in a low density residential zoning district adjacent to a residential neighborhood. Schools are typically located in or near residential neighborhoods and are an accepted part of the character of residential areas. Schools are generally not considered commercial entities and typically do not have offices and commercial enterprises in satellite buildings located on campuses. The proposed clinic is identical to a for-profit medical office in use but, is treated somewhat differently because of its non-profit status. A typical doctor's office or emergency walk-in clinic would not be permitted on a school campus because such uses are required to be located in 2 commercial zoning or office districts. Some schools have banking centers for training purposes and fast food enterprises in the cafeteria. These activities are integrated in the school building and only operate during school hours. In the fore mentioned case(s) the exterior look and function of the school campus retains the school character. The bank office or the pizza supplier does not locate in a building in the corner of the parking lot. Ochoa Middle School is located in an area of the community which lacks medical treatment facilities. Generally, the portion of Pasco lying east of the BNSF rail line and Highway 397 is characterized by consolidated residential neighborhoods lined with heavy-commercial and light-industrial development on the surrounding perimeter. Anyone living or working in this area in need of medical services is required to travel west of 4th Avenue; with the nearest clinics being the Tri-Cities Community Health main facility on Court Street and the emergency care facility on the corner of Sth Avenue and Sylvester Street. There may be merit to locating a clinic in an area of the community which currently lacks nearby treatment centers. Adding extra functions to a school campus brings with it the concern of additional traffic impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. A typical 2,000 square foot health clinic will generate between 46 and 101 vehicle trips per day (ITE Trip Generation Manual 8th Edition). The proposed clinic with an on campus location is primarily designed to provide services to students attending Ochoa Middle School. However the clinic is available to all Pasco School District children and as such could generate additional traffic during the day. If the clinic operates year round there will be additional traffic through the neighborhood during holidays and summer months when the school is closed. The service does not appear to be limited to just Ochoa students but will be available to all Pasco School District children (children within the boundaries of the School District). STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT Findings of fact must be entered from the record. The following are initial findings drawn from the background and analysis section of the staff report and comments made at the public hearing. The Planning Commission may add additional findings as deemed appropriate. 1. Tri-Cities Community Health applied for a special permit to locate a community health clinic on the Ochoa Middle School campus. 2. The site is located in the northeast corner of the Ochoa Middle School parking lot. 3. The site is owned by the Pasco School District. 4. The site is within the R-1 portion of the Ochoa Middle School property. 3 5. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for low-density residential uses. 6. Schools are unclassified land uses requiring review through the special permit process prior to permitting for construction. 7. Non-profit community health clinics are defined as community service facilities. Community service facilities are unclassified land uses requiring special permit review prior to permitting for construction. 8. Tri-Cities Community Health proposes to provide the following medical services; routine follow-up for injuries, immunizations, sports physicals, Early & Periodic Screening, Diagnosis & Treatment Programs (EPSDT), examinations related to routine colds, coughs, etc., school nurse referrals and all other non-emergent care visits. 9. The clinic will only serve Pasco School District children. 10. Tri-Cities Community Health indicated in discussions with staff that the clinic may operate year-round rather than just during the school year. 11. Standard medical clinics, offices and emergency care facilities are permitted uses in commercial zones 12. A 2,000 square foot health clinic can be expected to generate between 42 and 101 vehicle trips per day (ITE Trip Generation Manual 8th Edition). 13. The proposed clinic is intended to primarily serve students at Ochoa Middle School. CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT Before recommending approval or denial of a special permit the Planning Commission must draw its conclusion from the findings of fact based upon the criteria listed in P.M.C. 25.86.060. The criteria and staff listed conclusions are as follows: I j Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives and text of the Comprehensive Plan? Development of the Ochoa Middle School supported policies of the Comprehensive Plan related to the provision of educational facilities in the community and policies related to the development of utilities and street extensions. The Comprehensive Plan does not discuss the need for medical clinics on school campuses. A medical clinic can be viewed as a commercial or commercial-office use and as such the location in single-family zoning district would not be supported by the Plan. 2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure? 4 The proposal will have minimal impact on city utilities any may generate some additional traffic on adjoining streets. It is not anticipated there will be any adverse impacts affecting public infrastructure resulting from the operation of the clinic. 3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with existing or intended character of the general vicinity? The Ochoa Middle School has demonstrated a history of being operated in harmony with the intended residential character of the neighborhood. The addition of a small building in the corner of the main parking lot will have minimal impact on the surrounding neighborhood. The operation of a medical clinic within the building during school likewise would appear to have little impact on the neighborhood. However the operation of a health clinic on the school grounds year-round changes the nature of the school property where the neighborhood is accustom to little or no traffic residents will now experience activity on the school ground that is unexpected. 4) Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site design discourage the development of permitted uses on property in the general vicinity or impair the value thereof? The construction of schools in residential neighborhoods has not been found to discourage development or impair the value of surrounding properties. The construction of a small building in the corner of a school parking lot will do little to change the character of the school grounds. The operation of a year round medical clinic on school property changes the character of the school and may have unforeseen impacts on the neighborhood. 5) Will the operations in connection with the proposal be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic, or flashing lights than would be the operation of any permitted uses within the district? Experience has shown that schools within Pasco generate few complaints from neighbors. Schools sites are typically not a source of dust, fumes, vibrations or flashing lights. During weekends, the summer break, and other break periods very little traffic is generated and virtually no activity exists. The addition of a year-round medical clinic on school property changes the character of the school grounds to more of a commercial use which is not always recognized as a positive activity within residential neighborhoods. 5 6) will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and developed inhere proposed, or in any way will become a nuisance to uses permitted in the district? Residents living near schools are accustomed to the seasonal activities that occur on school grounds, including activities occurring during holidays and the summer break. Including a year-round health clinic at a school within a residential neighborhood changes the character of the school grounds and adds a commercial element that may be viewed as a nuisance by residents. RECOMMENDED APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1. The special permit shall apply to the east half Parcel No. 117590010. 2. The proposed clinic shall be constructed to match the school in exterior wall treatments and roofing materials and color. 3. No clinic signage, displays or other types advertising is permitted anywhere on the school grounds except on the wall of the clinic facing the parking lot. Said wall signage shall not be larger than ten (10) percent of the wall area.. 4. Clinic operations shall be limited to the hours of operation for Ochoa Middle school. 5. No media or other off-premise advertising shall be permitted for the clinic or its services. 6. As a part of the school campus the clinic shall only provide services to students and teachers enrolled or working at Ochoa Middle school. 7. On February 19, 2015 staff will re-visit the Special Permit to consider impacts of the clinic. 8. The special permit shall be null and void if a building permit has not been obtained by February 1, 2015. RECOMMENDATION MOTION: I move to close the public hearing and schedule deliberations, the adoption of findings of fact, and development of a recommendation for City Council for the January 16, 2013 Planning Commission meeting. 6 Vicinity Item: Special Permit - TCCH g PSIS Map licant: Tri-Cities Communi ty Health N File .

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: The South 160' of the North 406' of the West 214.5' of the Northwest corner of the Northeast corner of Section 25, Township 9, Range 29. Location: 1325 Road 44 Property Size: Approximately 31,123 square feet or .71 acres 2. ACCESS: The property has access from Road 44 along the west property line. 3. UTILITIES: All utilities are available to the site. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is currently zoned C-1 (Retail Business). The site is developed with a single-family home. Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: North C-1 (Commercial) - SFDU East C-1 (Commercial) - SFDU South RS-12 (Suburban Residential) - SFDU West RS-12 (Suburban Residential) - SFDUs 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this area for low-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 in question is developed with a single-family home which was built in 1946. The residential unit became a legal nonconforming use after the 1 lot was annexed into the City in 1996 under Ordinance #3144, and subsequently assigned C-1 zoning by Ordinance #3145. The lot comprises approximately .71 acres fronting on Road 44 along the west property line. The current (C-1) zone does not allow for residential units except according to Pasco Municipal Code 25.42.040(1), as follows: 1) The units are within the principal building, are all above the ground floor of said building, and the ground floor of said building is designed or intended to be used for a use permitted in Section 25. 42.010, or, 2) A building originally constructed on-site for residential purposes may be utilized as a dwelling unit without a special permit provided: a. The structure does not have to be reconstructed, altered or converted from an office/commercial use such that the cost of the alteration exceeds 25% of the assessed value of the structure at the time of the alteration. As well, nonconforming structures may not be "altered or extended," as per PMC 25.72.040(1)(a). Applicant wishes to rezone the subject property to eliminate the nonconformity, allowing for expansions of the current residential use. The City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan shows the property to be within a low- density residential designation. The requested RS-12 Zone allows for up to one dwelling per 12,000 square feet with up to 40% lot coverage and principal building heights up to 35 feet without a special permit. 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 property was originally developed with a single-family dwelling unit in 1946. Although the property was annexed and rezoned in 1996, commercial development has occurred primarily in the 1182 corridor area, substantially bypassing the western section of Court Street. The property in question was designated for commercial use with the expectation that any commercial development at the intersection would likely need adequate lot depth to accommodate parking requirements and delivery services. An area with a similar lot configuration located on the northwest corner of Court Street and Road 44 has been developed with two office buildings and two parking areas, each on lots similar in size to the parcel in question. 2 2. Facts to ,justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and general welfare: The property has been developed with a single-family dwelling unit since 1945. The rezone would bring the use into conformity with the zoning, and allow the applicant to expand the residential use. Public health, safety, and welfare would not suffer with such a rezone. 3. The effect it will have on the nature and value of adjoining property and the Comprehensive Plan: In their current use the surrounding property values would not change as no development proposal has been submitted. The proposed rezone would allow the property owner to expand the residential use on the property. Although also designated C-1, the properties north and east adjoining the subject parcel are also developed with single-family dwelling units and are both separately owned, reducing the likelihood that this corner of the intersection will be a valuable location for commercial development. 4. The effect on the property owners if the request is not granted: If the request is not granted the applicant would not be able to expand the residential use of the property. The current dwelling is 3-bedroom, one bath and has a floor area of 1,802 square feet. 5. The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the property: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the site for low-density residential uses. The proposed rezone would implement the land use designation contained in 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-1 (Retail Business). 2. The site is developed with a single-family unit which was built in 1945. 3. The site was annexed from the County (Ordinance #3144) and zoned to C-1 (Ordinance #3145) in 1996. 4. Although the property was annexed and rezoned in 1995, commercial development has occurred primarily in the 1-182 corridor area, substantially bypassing the western section of Court Street. 5. The site borders a C-1 zone to the north and east, and RS-12 to the south and west; all are developed with single-family homes. 6. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for low-density residential uses. 3 7. The RS-12 Zone allows for one dwelling per 12,000 square feet and principal 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 fits with the intent of the Land Use Map for low-density residential uses. 2. The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental. The neighboring properties are already developed with single-family residential units. The current use of the property fits with surrounding uses and would not change. 3. There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole. Given that only a single lot would be affected, the proposed rezone would have a neutral effect on the community as a whole. 4. Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from the proposal. No conditions would be needed, as there would be no significant adverse impacts from the proposal. 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 February 20, 2014 staff report.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: The East 842 feet of the Northeast 1f4 of Section 9, Township 9 North, Range 29 East, WM. General Location: Northwest corner of Sandifer Parkway and Convention Drive. Property Size: 49.90 Acres Number of Lots Proposed: 188 lots Square Footage Range of Lots: 6,000 ft2 to 15,636 ft2 Average Lot Square Footage: 8,151 ft2 2. ACCESS: The property has access from Convention Drive, Sandifur Parkway and Power Line Road. 3. UTILITIES: Utilities exist in surrounding streets. A sewer modeling study is currently underway to determine whether or not the subdivision can connect to the existing sewer line in Convention Drive or if the line at the end of Clemente Drive will need to be extended north to serve the proposed subdivision. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned R-1 and R-2 (Low Density and Medium Density Residential). Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: NORTH: RR (Rural Residential County Zoning) - Manufactured Homes SOUTH: RT & C-1 - Vacant EAST: R-1 - Three Rivers Subdivision WEST RT - Farm field 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan indicates the site is intended for low-density and mixed-residential development. According to the Comprehensive Plan low-density residential means 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre and mixed-density means 5-20 units per acre. The criteria for allocation under the future land use section of Volume II of the Comprehensive Plan (Vol. II, page 17) encourages development of I lands designated for residential uses when or where; sewer is available, land is suitable for home sites, when there is a market demand and where there are major circulation routes. Policy H-1-E encourages the advancement of home ownership and Goal H-2 suggests the City strive to maintain a variety of housing options for residents of the community. Goal LU-2 encourages the maintenance of established neighborhoods and the creation of new neighborhoods that are safe and enjoyable places to live. +6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for this project. Based on the SEPA checklist, the adopted City Comprehensive Plan, City development regulations, 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 At the time the Comprehensive Plan was originally developed there was no development in the I-182 corridor except for the Desert Plateau/Riverview Heights neighborhood. The plan envisioned development would occur radially from the major interchange nodes of Road 68 and Road 100. Through the implementation of land use regulations development has expanded as planned from those interchange nodes. The proposed plat is a continuation of past development in the area. The Three Rivers Crossing subdivision is located directly to the east across Convention Drive. The applicant has applied for preliminary plat approval to match the residential densities of the Three Rivers Crossing subdivision. The proposal is essentially a continuation of the existing Three Rivers Crossing development. The 188-lots proposed by this subdivision will generate about 1,799 new vehicle trips per day as estimated by the Institute of Traffic engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 8th Addition. The Engineering Division estimates about 52% of the new traffic will enter and exit the subdivision directly from Sandifur Parkway. Thirty-three percent of the traffic is expected to use Convention Drive and the remainder will use Power Line Road to connect with other locations in the City. Some minor amounts of traffic will be added at the Sandifur Parkway and Convention Drive intersection during peak periods. A warrant study would be required prior to determining whether or not a traffic signal would be needed at that intersection. LOT LAYOUT: The proposed plat contains 188 lots; with the lots varying in size from 6,000 to 15,53+6 square feet. 2 RIGHTS-OF-WAY: All lots have adequate frontage on streets which will be dedicated. UTILITIES: The developer will be responsible for extending utilities into the plat. A utility easement will be needed along the first 10 of street frontage of all lots. The final location and width of the easements will be determined during the construction design phase of the platting process. The front yard setbacks for construction purposes are larger than the requested easements; therefore the front yard easements will not encroach upon the buildable portions of the lots. The City Engineer will determine the specific placement of fire hydrants and streetlights when construction plans are submitted. As a general rule, fire hydrants are located at street intersections and with a maximum interval of 300 feet between hydrants on the same side of the street. Streetlights are located at street intersections, with a maximum interval of 300 feet on residential streets, and with a maximum interval of 150 feet on arterial streets. The intervals for street light placements are measure along the centerline of the road. Street lights are placed on alternating sides of the street. STREET NAMES: Streets within the plat will all be named prior to final platting. IRRIGATION: The municipal code requires the installation of irrigation lines as a part of infrastructure improvements. WATER RIGHTS: Water rights for this area have been satisfied by way of a Settlement Agreement. FINDINGS OF FACT State law (RCW 58.17.110) and the Pasco Municipal Code require the Planning Commission to develop Findings of Fact as to how this proposed subdivision will protect and enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the community. The following is a listing of proposed "Findings of Fact": Prevent Overcrowding: With an average lot size of 8,151 square feet the proposed development will address the overcrowding concern by providing manageable lots and usable open spaces. R-1 and R-2 zoning requires a 20 foot front yard setback and no more than 40 percent lot coverage which also addresses the overcrowding issue. Parks Opens Space/Schools: The Sunny Meadows Park and the future Three Rivers Park are both located within a half mile of the proposed subdivision. The Island Estate Park and Road 84 Park are located about a mile from the 3 proposed subdivision. The School District is in the process of building four new schools within the community. The City is required by RCW 58.17.110 to make a finding that adequate provisions are being made to ameliorate the impacts of the proposed subdivision on the School District. At the request of the School District the City enacted a school impact fee in 2012. The imposition of this impact fee addresses the requirement to ensure there are adequate provisions for schools (See attached letter). All new residential development pays a school impact fee (when permits are issued) to assist with the provision of schools within the community. The preliminary plat was submitted to the School District for review. No additional requests were made by the School District for the City to address RCW 58.17.110 Effective Land Use/Orderly Development: The plat is laid out for low-density residential development as identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The maximum density permitted under the Comprehensive Plan is 5 dwelling units per acre. The proposed development with about 3.75 dwelling units per acre is an orderly continuation of the existing residential subdivision to the east. Safe Travel & Walking Conditions: The Plat will connect to the community through the existing network of streets. Sidewalks are installed at the time homes are built on individual lots. The sidewalk will be constructed to current City standards and to the standards of the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA). Adequate Provision of Municipal Services: All lots within the plat will be provided with water, sewer and other utilities. A sewer study is being done by MSA, Inc., Engineers/Planners. Provision of Housing for State Residents: The proposed preliminary plat contains 188 building lots, providing opportunities for the construction of 188 new homes for Pasco residents. Adequate Air and Light: The maximum lot coverage limitations and building setbacks will assure that adequate movement of air and light is available to each lot. Proper Access & Travel: The access streets through the plat will be paved and developed to City standards to assure that proper access is maintained to each lot. (The discussion under safe travel above applies to this section also.) Comprehensive Plan Policies & Maps: The Comprehensive Plan designates the Plat site for low-density and mixed-residential development. Policies of the Comprehensive Plan suggest the City strive to maintain a variety of housing for residents. 4 Other Findings: • The site is within the Pasco Urban Growth Area Boundary. • The State Growth Management Act requires urban growth and urban densities to occur within Urban Growth Boundaries. • The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for low-density and mixed residential development. • The site was zoned R-1 and R-2 in January of this year. • The Three Rivers Crossing subdivision with over 500 single-family lots is located directly to the east of the proposed subdivision. • The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the development of a variety of residential densities and housing types. • The Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the interconnection of neighborhood streets to provide for the disbursement of traffic. • Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 8th Addition the proposed subdivision, when fully developed, will generate approximately 1,799 vehicle trip per day. • Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 8th Addition the am peak (7:00 am- 9:00 am) will be 145 new vehicle trips. Of the 145 vehicles trips 48 (24 per hour) can be expected at the intersection of Sandifur Parkway and Convention Drive. Seventy-five vehicles will exit the subdivision directly onto Sandifur Parkway and about 22 will connect to other areas of the City by way of Power Line Road. • The ITE Trip Generation Manual 8th Addition estimates the pm peak (4:00 pm - 6:00 pm) traffic volume for the proposed subdivision will be about 192 vehicle trips. The additional pm traffic through the Sandifur Parkway Convention Drive intersection will be about 32 vehicles per hour. Ninety-nine vehicles can be expected to enter the subdivision directly from Sandifur Parkway and the remaining 29 will utilize Power Line Road. • The current traffic impact fee is $709 per dwelling unit. The impact fees are collected at the time permits are issued and said fees are used to make traffic improvements and add traffic signals in the I-182 Corridor when warranted. • RCW 58.17.110 requires the City to make a finding that adequate provisions have been made for schools before any preliminary plat is approved. 5 • The City of Pasco has adopted a school impact fee ordinance compelling new housing developments to provide the School District with mitigation fees. The fee was effective April 16, 2012. • A February 6, 2014 letter from the Pasco School District indicates impact fees address the requirement to ensure adequate provisions are made for schools. CONCLUSIONS EASED ON THE FINDINGS OF FACT Before recommending approval or denial of the proposed Plat the Planning Commission must develop Findings of Fact from which to draw its conclusion (P.M.C. 26.24.070) therefrom as to whether or not: (1) Adequate provisions are made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for open spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks, playgrounds, transit stops, schools and school grounds, sidewalks for safe walking conditions for students and other public needs; The proposed plat will be required to develop under the standards of the Pasco Municipal Code and the standard specifications of the City Engineering Division. These standards for streets, sidewalks, and other infrastructure improvements were designed to ensure the public health, safety and general welfare of the community are secured. These standards include provisions for streets, drainage, water and sewer service and the provision for dedication of right-of-way. The preliminary plat was forwarded to the Franklin County PUD, the Pasco School District, Charter Cable and Ben-Franklin Transit Authority for review and comment. The PUD requested easements along the font of all lots for utility service. Four City parks are located within one mile of the proposed subdivision. New developments participate in establishing parks through the payment of park fees at the time of permitting. (2) The proposed subdivision contributes to the orderly development and land use patterns in the area; The proposed plat makes efficient use of vacant land and will provide for additional housing following the designations of the Comprehensive Plan and the established zoning. The proposed plat will also provide for the looping of utilities and interconnectivity of streets as supported in the Comprehensive Plan. (3) The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and narrative text of the Comprehensive Plan; 6 The Comprehensive Plan land use map designates the site for low-density and mixed-residential development. The Comprehensive Plan describes Low-density development as 2 to 5 single-family dwelling units per acre and Mixed residential as 5 to 20 units per acre. The policies of the plan encourage the advancement of home ownership (H-3-B). Plan Goal H-2 suggests the City strive to maintain a variety of housing options for residents of the community while Plan Policy H-1-13 supports the protection and enhancement of the established character of viable residential neighborhoods. (4) The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of any applicable policies or plans which have been adopted by the City Council; Development plans and policies have been adopted by the City Council in the form of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and narrative text of the Plan as noted in number three above. (5) The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of the subdivision regulations. The general purposes of the subdivision regulations have been enumerated and disc-ussed in the staff analysis and Findings of Fact. The Findings of Fact indicate the subdivision is in conformance with the general purposes of the subdivision regulations provided certain mitigation measures (i.e. school, park and traffic fees) are included in approval conditions. (f) The public use and interest will be served by approval of the proposed subdivision. If approved the proposed plat will be developed in accordance with all City standards designed to insure the health, safety and general welfare of the community are met. The Comprehensive Plan will be implemented through development of this Plat. These factors will insure the public use and interest are served. PLAT APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1.

The district is submitting this letter to inform the City of Pasco Planning Commission and the proposed developer of the impacts the proposed development will have on the Pasco School District facilities and to respectfully request the impact be mitigated. District-wide, every new single family home in the district creates the need to provide school facilities for .45 elementary school students, .18 middle school students and .19 high school students. That means more than 155 students will live in new houses associated with the proposed development. This district will provide a public education to these 155 students at McGee Elementary School, McLoughlin Middle School and Pasco High School. The following table lists the number of students enrolled at McGee Elementary School, McLoughlin Middle School and Pasco High School. OCTOBER 2014 SCHOOL CAPACITY ENROLLMENT McGee Elementary 500 982 McLoughlin Middle 1,000 1,673 Pasco High 1,750 1,963 The information in this table was taken from the most recently adopted Capital Facilities Plan. The Capital Facilities Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in December 2010 and is intended to be used to identify and plan for the public school facilities that are needed to serve new development. As shown in the table above and the Capital Facilities Plan, the district does not have capacity at Livingston or McLoughlin Middle Schools to serve the students from the proposed development. The issue of inadequate capacity is exacerbated when you consider other pending developments that will generate additional students. David McDonald Page 2 February 6, 2014 Public schools are one of the many public facilities the city (and county) must plan for. As new development occurs it is necessary to have a plan and regulations that ensure public facilities, including schools will be provided. New subdivisions plats cannot be approved unless the city finds there are adequate provisions for schools RCW 58.17'.110. Given the significant cost to build schools, and the lack of capacity in our schools to serve students from new developments, the Pasco School Board has asked the City of Pasco and Franklin County to adopt a school impact fee ordinance. (To construct a 750 student elementary school it will cost the district approximately $25,000,000, or about $35,000 per student. A 1,250 student middle school will cost the district approximately $690,000,000 or about $48,000 per student.) Impact fees address the requirement to ensure there are adequate provisions for schools. As the City of Pasco has adopted an impact fee ordinance, the district would only sign off on this development with the understanding that impact fees will be collected. The District respectively requests that the city consider and address the impact new development has on public schools and the district's ability to provide quality education for all students. Please contact me if you have questions or need additional information. Respectfully,*Vrt,-- o M.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: Parcel #118-112-036: Lot 1, Short Plat 2005-11 General Location: 9915 West Argent Road Property The parcel is approximately 1.65 acres 2. ACCESS: The site is accessed from Argent Road. 3. UTILITIES: All municipal utilities currently serve the site. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is currently zoned RS-12 (Suburban) and contains a church. Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: NORTH: RS-12 - Vacant SOUTH: RS-20 - Single-Family Residences EAST: RS-12 - Vacant WEST: RS-12 - Single-Family Residences 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for low-density residential uses. Goal OF-2 suggests the City ought to maintain land use flexibility in regard to placement of infrastructure for public and private utilities. Policy OF-2-A encourages the sound management of all energy and communication utilities through coordination and cooperation dealing with construction of such facilities. Policy OF-2-B encourages the placement of utility substations which are necessary for the surrounding neighborhood. 6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for this project. Based on the SEPA checklist, the adopted City Comprehensive Plan, City development regulations, and other information, a threshold determination resulting in a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) has been issued for this project under WAC 197- 11-158. 1 ANALYSIS AT&T Wireless is requesting special permit approval to locate cellular wireless communication facilities at the Desert Springs Covenant Church located on the northeast corner at the intersection of Road 100 and Argent Road. The proposal involves the addition of an architectural feature on the roof of the existing church to house cellular antennae together with a ground-level equipment enclosure. The applicant's request is an effort to fill a coverage/capacity gap west of Road 68. The installation is intended to better support existing users west of Road 68 and would also potentially increase AT&T's ability to support more users in the same area. As illustrated in the elevations submitted with the application (Exhibits 1-3), the applicant wishes to install wireless communication network antennae atop an existing church. The antennae will be housed within an architecturally integrated rooftop feature extending fifteen (15) feet above the existing roofline; for an overall structure height of 55.4 feet above grade. The proposed wireless communication antenna meets the requirements listed under the provisions of PMC 25.70.070, which require wireless facilities to be located on an existing structure taller than thirty-five (35) feet. Wireless Facility zoning regulations were specifically developed to permit (through special permit review) cellular tower/antenna equipment on taller buildings within the community. The PMC special permit review criteria for wireless facilities are written as follows: 25.70.075 WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITIES. Wireless Communication Facilities are permitted under the following conditions: (1) Such structures shall be permitted in all industrial or C-3 zoning districts provided the location is 500 feet or more from a residential district. Any location closer than 500 feet requires special permit approval. (2) Such structures may be permitted by special permit in all other zoning districts provided said structures are: (a) Attached to or located on an existing or proposed building or structure that is higher than thirty five (35) feet: or (b) Located on or with a publicly owned facility such as a water reservoir, fire station, police station, school, county or port facility. (3) All wireless communication facilities shall comply with the following standards 2 (a) Wireless facilities shall be screened or camouflaged by employing the best available technology. This may be accomplished by use of compatible materials, strategic location, color, stealth technologies, and/or other measures to achieve minimum visibility of the facility when viewed from public rights-of-way, and adjoining properties such that a casual observer cannot identify the Wireless Communication Facility. (b) Wireless facilities shall be located in the City in the following order of preference: i) Attached to or located on buildings or structures higher than 35 feet. ii) Located on or with a publicly owned facility iii) Located on a site other than those listed in a) or b). Commonly, cellular providers locate the equipment cabinets within a fenced area surrounding the base of a pole; in this case the ground-level equipment is proposed to be housed in a metal shelter designed for functionality. Renditions submitted with the application show no fence is proposed around the metal equipment shelter. Staff has entered a condition (#7) requiring the equipment enclosure be screened from view from surrounding roadways. The screening must meet design requirements of the I-182 Overlay District (PMC 25.58). A determination of non-significance from TOWAIR for the FAA has been obtained by the applicant; as required by PMC 25.70.075(4) a copy has been included in the application submittal. 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 RS-12 (Suburban). 2. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for low-density residential uses. 3. The site is approximately 1.65 acres in area. 4. The site contains a church approximately 9,200 square feet in area. 5. All municipal utilities currently serve the site. 3 6. In the RS-12 zone cellular towers may be permitted by special permit provided the tower is either: i) Attached to or located on an existing or proposed building or structure that is higher than thirty-five (35) feet; or ii) Located on or with a publicly owned facility such as a water reservoir, fire station, police station, school, county or port facility. 7. The cellular antennae will be mounted on top of an existing church which is 40.4 feet in height. 8. Addition of the antennae housing appurtenance will increase the height of the church by fifteen (15) feet for an overall height of 55.4 feet. 9. Equipment serving the proposed antennae will be located within a 275 square foot ground-level equipment enclosure approximately 11.5 feet in height. 10. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the City ought to maintain land use flexibility with regard to placement of infrastructure for public and private utilities. 11. The Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address cellular equipment. 12. Cellular equipment creates minimal demands on City infrastructure. TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL 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 PMC 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 does not specifically address cellular equipment. The Comprehensive Plan goal OF-2 and policy OF-2-A discuss the need for sound management and coordination in the location of utilities and community facilities. Policy ED-1-C promotes the need to support Pasco's urban area as a good business environment by enhancing the infrastructure of the community. The applicability of policy ED-1-C is enhanced due to the fact that the new tower will provide more/better service primarily to commercially zoned properties. Policy UT-1-C encourages coordination of utility providers' functional plans with the City's land use and utility plans to ensure long term service availability. 4 (2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure? The proposed use is a part of the communication network utilized by the general public. The proposed equipment will be located in such a manner so as not to impact other public utilities or services. The proposed use does not require water and sewer. (3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with existing or intended character of the general vicinity? The character of the vicinity is dominated by residential suburban development. The addition of roof-top cellular antennae will not alter or affect the existing or intended character of the surrounding neighborhood. (4) Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site design discourage the development of permitted uses on property in the general vicinity or impair the value thereof? The proposed antennae housing will be located on top of an existing church building and generally will not be noticed by the public. The cellular facility is unlikely to discourage development in the vicinity. The tower will be designed to be integrated into the architectural design of the existing church. (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 cellular equipment will create no fumes, dust or noise. Cellular facilities have been located throughout the community in residential, commercial and industrial zones without generating any complaints received by the City. (6) Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and developed where proposed, or in any way become a nuisance to uses permitted in the district? The proposal is required to be designed by a professional engineer to withstand the forces of nature. The applicant is also required by law to coordinate with the FAA and FCC prior to obtaining a building permit. A Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation for the tower has been issued to AT&T by the FAA for the proposed facility. 5 Radio waves at frequencies utilized by local cellular networks have not been proven to be harmful to human health. Radio wave activity is focused on the antennas which are elevated approximately 40 to 50 feet above grade; away from human activity. The cellular antennae and equipment pose no true threat to public health and safety. TENTATIVE APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1) The special permit shall apply to parcel # 118-112-036; 2) The property shall be developed in substantial conformity with the elevations and site plan submitted with the application except as conditioned herein; 3) The cellular antennae enclosure shall exceed 55.4 feet in height as measured from existing grade; 4) The cellular antennae shall be enclosed within an architecturally integrated feature attached to the church building; 5) The cellular antennae enclosure shall be painted to match the color of existing church building; 6) The ground-level equipment enclosure shall be located no closer than ten (10) feet from the north and/or east property lines of parcel # 118- 112-036; 7) The ground-level equipment shall be located within a sight-screening enclosure which fully blocks the view from all rights-of-way. Design of the sight-screening shall meet the requirements of the I-182 Overlay District (PMC 25.58); 8) The proposed cellular facility must comply with all FCC regulations regarding radio frequency emissions; 9) The roof-top antennae housing shall not emit light; 10) The roof-top appurtenance housing the cellular antennae shall be painted to match the existing church. 11) The special permit shall be null and void if a City of Pasco building permit is not obtained by April 30, 2015.

Currently there are no communication facilities in this area. The closets communication facilities are in the area of Road 68 and Court street, which AT&T Mobility has a facility, and this site will connect in with that site, along with its site located at the City water tanks on Sandifur Parkway. A coverage plot map is being prepared and will be forwarded for your report when complete. Pursuant to 18.40.110.C, in compliance with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) "Shot Clock," we believe that the County has 150 days to make a decision on AT&T's permit application, which, due to its nature (stealth flagpole replacement) is considered to be a new facility and not a collocation. The FCC Declaratory Ruling, dated November 18, 2009 and recently reaffirmed by the Supreme Court, provides deadlines for State and local jurisdictions to act on applications for wireless facilities_ The FCC defines a "reasonable" period of time for State and local government to act on wireless applications as 90 days for a collocation applications and 150 days for all other applications. Please note that these timelines are inclusive of all application notice and appeal periods. Thank you for your assistance in processing this application.

MEMORANDUM DATE: February 20, 2014 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Shane O'Neill, Planner I SUBJECT: Highway Follow-Through Sign Code Amendment (MF# CA 2012-011) Many U.S. motorists with experience driving on our domestic freeways, highways and interstates are familiar with the Department of Transportation standardized on-highway business advertising sign program. These business advertising signs are a cluster of 3 square foot business logo signs placed on a single (usually blue) backing and include the associated exit number or distance measurement to the business. These signs are called General Motorist Service Signs; and are generally located well before the freeway exit where the business is located. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Traffic Manual contains a section on General Motorist Service Signs which requires off- highway follow-through signage when services are not readily visible from an interchange and when a business participating in the WSDOT on-highway sign program does not have direct access to the roadway immediately extending from an off-ramp. Follow-through signing provides motorists (after being directed off the state highway) with confirmation to destinations. Currently, the fore mentioned requirement for follow-through signs conflicts with parts of Pasco's Sign Code (Title 17) which prohibit off-premise signs. An off-premise sign is defined as a sign that carries a message of any kind or directs attention to a business, commodity, service, or entertainment conducted, sold, or offered elsewhere than upon the premises where such sign is located, or to which it is affixed. Because of this conflict staff is proposing to amend PMC Title 17 to permit follow-through signs as required for participation in the WSDOT on-highway sign program. In developing specific Code language Planning staff has coordinated with Engineering Department staff to ensure the proposal will function well and meets both department's needs. The proposed code amendment is attached. A majority of the newly proposed sign code language is contained on page nine. Highlights include: - Applicable only to Road 100, road 68 and Kartchner Street; - Limit of one sign structure in each direction and within 900 feet of the off-ramp intersection; - Construction design to WSDOT standards. ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE of the City of Pasco,Washington,Amending Title 17 "Sign Code"Providing for Highway Follow-Through Signs. WHEREAS, signs are presently regulated by Chapter 17.05 of the Pasco Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Washington State Department of Transportation (W SDOT) regulates traveler and tourist services signage on Interstate 182, State Route 395, State Route 397 and U.S. Highway 12; and WHEREAS, WSDOT requires follow-through signs to guide travelers from highways to the location of the traveler and tourist services within the City; and WHEREAS, chapter 17.05 of the Pasco Municipal Code contains no provision to authorize follow-through signs for traveler and tourist services; and WHEREAS, it is in the public interest to provide services to travelers and to promote economic development within the city and to insure that qualified traveler and tourist services within the city are eligible to have signage on Interstate 182, Highway 395, Highway 397 and U.S. Highway 12,NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO,WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

The 2005 special permit was the fifth in a series of special permits that have been granted to owners of the Moore Mansion. Previous special permits authorized the operation of restaurants, wedding receptions, banquets and bed and breakfast activities on the Mansion property. The special permit application in 2005 included an aerial photo (attached) of the Moore Mansion property that generally identified parking areas, future landscape improvement areas and a future support or storage building. The photo was not included in the Planning Commission packet and there was no discussion in the staff report related to future buildings or site improvements other than the ongoing restoration work on the mansion. On January 23, 2014 the city received a building permit application from the owner of the Moore mansion for the construction of a detached 40' by 50' carport. The carport was planned to be located (see attached site plan) in the parking lot directly east of the Moore Mansion. Following the initial review of the permit application, the application was place on hold by the Planning Division. The application was placed on hold because the proposed accessory structure is larger than accessory structures permitted in R-1 zones and because the 2005 special permit did not specifically authorize any additional structures on the property (see attached letter).. The property owner argues the sun shade/carport is ancillary to the use of the property for receptions and other outdoor events as approved by the 2005 special permit. Additionally he argues the 2005 application materials clearly indicated there were plans for future improvements that included the construction of a support building.. Staff is seeking direction from the Planning Commission on this matter to determine if the proposed sun shade/carport structure falls within the scope 1 and intent of the 2005 special permit. If the Planning Commission determines the structure is within the scope of the special permit staff will complete the review process and issue a building permit. If it is determined structure is beyond the scope of the use of the property for events the property owner will need to apply for a new special permit.

Following the last hearing in December a recommendation on a code amendment was forwarded to the City Council. Taking in consideration of the original intent of special permit provisions related to auto sales and development patterns of the community the Planning Commission developed separate recommendations for the developing portions of the community verses the central core area. Essentially for those areas located east of Highway 395 the Commission maintained the provision for special permits for properties near the intersection of two arterial streets or adjacent to a single arterial street and added a provision related to under-utilized land. For the developing areas west of Highway 395 the Planning Commission recommended provisions for the development of new auto dealerships only. A new provision in the code proposal was the addition of a definition for "under-utilized property". "Under-utilized property" was defined as vacant land or land with one or more vacant buildings which have been vacant for the past 10 consecutive years. During the Council workshop on the proposed code amendment a number of questions were raised about the definition for "under-utilized property" As a result staff was asked to provide additional clarification or options for the definition. Under the current proposal using a 10 year timeframe for under-utilized property, virtually all vacant parcels within the central core of the community would be eligible (all those meeting the arterial street requirements) for a special permit to allow auto sales. In the newly developing areas most of the subdivided parcels around Road 100 would qualify as under-utilized properties because the parcels were generally created more than 12 years ago. Some parcels are 18 years old. The vacant parcels around Road 68 were mostly created after the Road 100 parcels and as a result they range in age between S and 13 years. For example, some of the vacant lots in front of 1 Vicinity Item: Auto Sales Code Amendment Map File : CA2013 -006 j" ,,.� . 500 z Sao a arktiv . u, = I-182 - 1,000' ,: a CL '�� •�. - $ t��=�--�=--�� !���Y� � i-- �=. _ -�'�'""'I�ice'`�_ V icinit Item: Auto sales Cade Amendment Map File .

Adams, Associate Planner S'UBJEC'T`. Shoreline Management Act - Shoreline Jurisdiction and Public Participation Plan Introduction Pasco is updating its Shoreline Master Program (SMP) with project funding from the Department of Ecology (Ecology). In February of 2013 the Planning Commission received an SMP orientation from representatives from the Washington State Department of Ecology. This is a follow-up report of current SMP activities and an introduction to the Shoreline Jurisdiction and Public Participation Plan components of the City's SMP. Shoreline Jurisdiction The Washington State Shoreline Management Act designates specific shorelines for inclusion under the SNIP planning effort, based on specific criteria spelled out in the legislation. These criteria include those rivers or streams "[t]hat have either a mean annual flow of 200 cubic feet per second or more, or; [t]he portion downstream from the first 300 square miles of drainage areas." The Columbia River shoreline (14.4 miles) and Snake River shoreline (2.8 miles) within the City limits and Urban Growth Boundary fall under this definition. The associated shorelands are also defined by statute as "Those lands extending landward for two hundred feet in all directions as measured on a horizontal plane from the ordinary high water mark" and include floodways, floodplains, and wetlands, and may also include critical areas. The City of Pasco's SMP Shoreline Jurisdiction is that area included in the SMP study, and generally comprises a 200' buffer zone inland from the ordinary high water mark of the Columbia and Snake Rivers within the City limits and Urban Growth Boundary. These shorelands have been divided into reaches and subreaches based on land use, zoning, landform, ecological function, and other distinguishing characteristics, for the purpose of data gathering and shoreline planning. It was recommended that Esquatzel Coulee, which once flowed to a point just north of the Tri-Cities Airport be removed from City of Pasco shoreline jurisdiction because upstream flow had long ago been re-routed into the Esquatzel Diversion Channel, leaving little, if any flow running through the downstream section of the Coulee. Within the SMA, there are criteria to provide Pagel of 3 for reasonable access to water and water-related uses. As little to no water flows in the downstream section of the Esquatzel Coulee just beyond the Diversion Channel, there will likely be no water-related uses in these areas. Shoreline jurisdictions usually include all adjoining floodplains and wetlands as well. A full description of the City's shoreline jurisdiction is attached in this packet and will be included as a section of the SMP. Public Participation Plan Public participation is essential when developing an SMP that will be accepted by the local community and Ecology. The Shoreline Management Act (SMA) requires public participation to ensure all interested parties have an opportunity to shape shoreline policies and regulations. The SMP Public Participation Plan (PPP) is intended to inform the community about the SMP updates throughout the project, seek and engage stakeholders to ensure that all interested or responsible parties are involved, and ensure that elected officials, the Planning Commission, staff, and consultants understand community and stakeholder concerns and include these issues in the SMP update. The City will maintain an SMP webpage, provide ongoing project updates, work with local media, and conduct community workshops at key stages of the SMP project in order to engage the community, and inform and obtain community input throughout the SMP planning process. The Pasco Planning Commission will be part of the process, incorporating SMP items into regularly scheduled Planning Commission meetings at key stages of the SMP update. Key stakeholders such as shoreline property owners will be invited to attend these key meetings and help provide input in workshop settings. The Planning Commission will be invited to provide direction and recommendations to on SMP products. City staff will support the Planning Commission with agendas and any necessary materials. The consultant team will attend upon City request and provide electronic documents to the City for appropriate meetings. The Planning Commission chair will facilitate meetings. Planning Commission meetings will include particular invitations to shoreline stakeholders, such as property owners, and be conducted to gain public feedback as well as Planning Commission input and recommendations. The following Planning Commission meetings are anticipated: • SMP Introduction-February 20114: Obtain Planning Commission input and recommendation regarding shoreline jurisdiction boundaries and public participation approaches. • Shoreline Visioning -April/May 20114: Following completion of the shoreline inventory and analysis report, conduct a public open house and a Planning Commission meeting.

Small, Anchor QQEA, LLC Project: 131050-01.01 Re: Draft City of Pasco Shoreline Determination INTRODUCTION The purpose of this effort is to develop a geographic information system- (GIS-)based dataset that spatially approximates the location of the ordinary high water mark (OHWM), as defined in the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) (Section 172-22-030) for the City of Pasco shorelines meeting the definition of Shorelines of the State in the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Section 90.58.030. This dataset will be used for planning level analysis during the development of the City of Pasco Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Update. This dataset will also serve as a reference for site-specific implementation of the SMP going forward; however, for individual decisions, site-specific surveys of the OHWM may be required. STUDY AREA The study area for this report includes all land currently within proposed shoreline jurisdiction for incorporated City of Pasco and the City's unincorporated Urban Growth Area (UGA),located in Franklin County. The study area includes relevant discussion of the contributing watersheds. DEFINITION OF SHORELINE JURISDICTION The Washington State Shoreline Management Act(SMA; RCW 90.55.030) defines the criteria for a waterbody to be a Shoreline of the State as fellows: "[A]11 of the water areas of the state, including reservoirs, and their associated shorelands, together with the lands underlying them; except (i) shorelines of statewide significance; Rick White,Jeff Adams and Angela San Filippo January 10,2014 Page 2 (ii) (ii) shorelines on segments of streams upstream of a point where the mean annual flow is twenty cubic feet per second or less and the wetlands associated with such upstream segments;and (iii) (iii) shorelines on lakes less than twenty acres in size and wetlands associated with such small lakes;" Shorelines of Statewide Significance are defined in the statute as those streams or rivers, (i) "That have either; a mean annual flow of 200 cubic feet per second or more, or; (ii) The portion downstream from the first 300 square miles of drainage t1 areas. Shorelands are defined by the statute as: "...Those lands extending landward for two hundred feet in all directions as measured on a horizontal plane from the ordinary high water mark; floodways and contiguous flood plain areas landward two hundred feet from such floodways; and all wetlands and river deltas associated with the streams, lakes, and tidal waters which are subject. to the provisions of this chapter [includes both shorelines of statewide significance and shorelines of the state];the same to be designated as to location by the department of ecology.Any county or city may determine that portion of a one hundred-year flood plain to be included in its master program as long as such portion includes, as a minimum,the floodway and the adjacent land extending landward two hundred feet therefrom.)] The WAC, Title 173—Chapter 18—Section 150,and Chapter 20—Sections 240 and 250 list Lakes and Streams of Statewide Significance and Shorelines of the State and Shorelines of Statewide Significance designated by statute in Franklin County (including shorelines within the City of Pasco). Where there is a conflict with the criteria set forth in RCW 90.58.030(2) and WAC 173-18-040, the RCW criteria shall control. The designation of the stream or river shall be governed by the criteria, except that the local government must amend the local master program to reflect the new designation (WAC 173-18-046). Four Streams of Statewide Significance are designated for Franklin County in WAC 173-18-150, three of which are located within City of Pasco, based on their historical application of designation Rick White,Jeff Adams and Angela San Filippo January 10,2014 Page 3 criteria. The rivers and streams designated in Franklin County that are historically included within the City of Pasco jurisdiction are summarized below in Table 1. Table 1 Streams of Statewide Significance per WAC 173-18-150 for Franklin County and within City of Pasco Jurisdiction' Estimated Length within City of Pasco/UGA Jurisdiction Stream Name Legal Description in WAC 173-18-150 for Franklin County (miles) From Hanford Works boundary(Sec.23,T12N, R28E) downstream Columbia River left bank only to(Sec.13,T9N, R28E)questionable. The flow 14.4 exceeds 200 cfs MAF at Hanford Works boundary. From mouth of Old Maid Coulee (Sec.11,T12 N, R30E)downstream to a sump (Sec.12,T9 N, R29E)(EsquatzeI River gradually sinking Esquatael Coulee 1.2 into ground). This stream has over 300 square miles of drainage area ending at mouth of Old Maid Coulee. All of Snake River within Franklin County is under federal Snake River 2.8 jurisdiction. The flow exceeds 200 cfs MAF at Whitman County line. Notes: 1—The Palouse River is also listed in WAC 173-18-150 but is not located within City of Pasco jurisdiction. cfs=cubic feet per second MAF=mean annual flaw WAC=Washington Administrative Code There are no lakes specifically listed in WAC 173-20-240 or 250 as meeting the lake criteria within City of Pasco jurisdiction. AVAILABLE DATA Anchor QEA received and downloaded GIS-format datasets from City of Pasco, Franklin County Planning, the Franklin County GIS website, U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) containing information from a variety of sources about the waterbodies and potential shorelands within the City. Anchor QEA has reviewed and appended a Shoreline Management Plan, Lakes, and Rivers dataset developed Rick White,Jeff Adams and Angela San Filippo January 10,2014 Page 5 In a separate analysis completed for Franklin County (Anchor QEA, 2014), it was recommended that Esquatzel Coulee's downstream jurisdiction point be changed to the headworks of the Esquatzel Diversion Channel,which is upstream of where the WAC currently describes shoreline jurisdiction. This change would remove Esquatzel Coulee from City of Pasco shoreline jurisdiction. Because flow is diverted into the Esquatzel Diversion Channel, there is no flow in Esquatzel Coulee. Within the SNIA, there are criteria to provide for reasonable access to water and water-related uses. In Esquatzel Coulee, downstream of the Esquatzel Diversion Channel, there are few to no water-related uses;data suggest little water exists within the creek. DETERMINATION OF THE PRELIMINARY SHORELINE JURISDICTION The extent of the preliminary shoreline jurisdiction was determined (mapped) using the following steps: • All shorelines meeting the definitions above and identified above were buffered by 200 feet. • All wetlands from the DSFWS National Wetland Inventory dataset that intersected any part of the 200-foot buffer were provisionally included. • Those wetlands identified were reviewed for spatial accuracy to determine if any part of them intersected the 200-foot buffer, If so, they were included. • Any additional wetlands in the floodway of streams, meeting the shoreline definition above, were provisionally included. • Those wetlands identified were reviewed for spatial accuracy to determine if any part of them intersected with the 204--foot buffer. If so, they were included.

SMPs must be updated in accordance with the State Shoreline Management Act (RCW 90.58) and SMP Guidelines adopted in 2003 (WAC 173-25). The City is required to complete its update by December 1, 2015 consistent with its Ecology grant agreement. The SMP will apply to shorelines of the state, generally including lakes greater than 20 acres and streams with a flow greater than 20 cubic feet per second (cfs), together with shorelands within 200 feet of the ordinary high water mark, associated wetlands, and floodways (RCW 90.58.030). In Pasco this means the SMP will address shorelines along the Columbia and Snake Rivers both within the City Limits and in the City of Pasco's urban growth areas. The City's SMP Update is intended to provide environmental protection for all designated shoreline areas, preserve and enhance public access to the shorelines, and encourage appropriate development that supports water oriented uses. The SMP Public Participation Plan (PPP) is intended to meet the following objectives: • Inform the community about the SMP update purpose, process, and progress as early as possible and throughout the project. • Seek and engage stakeholders to ensure that all interested or responsible parties are involved in the update. • Ensure that elected officials, the Planning Commission, staff, and consultants understand community and stakeholder concerns and link their input to SMP products. The methods to accomplish these objectives vary and include: • Create and maintain a project Webpage on the City's Website to share information and solicit comments throughout the update. • Provide ongoing project updates via letters, postcards, flyers, notices or email. • Work with the Tri-City Herald to involve the community through announcements about public meetings,workshops and hearings. • Conduct community workshops to inform and obtain community input at key stages of the SMP project. Project Themes The following project messages will guide the overall outreach program and be promoted through communication materials and outreach opportunities facilitated by City staff, Planning Commission and City Council members, and the consultants. • Purpose and benefits of the SMP: The SMP provides opportunities for public access and recreation, protects environmental conditions, presents opportunities for restoration and development, and provides best management tools for the City's shorelines. November 5, 2.0 13 • Balanced Plan: The goal of the SMP is to create a balanced plan for shoreline utilization and protection (WAC 173-26-176(2)). • Required by State Laws and Rules: The SMP is required by the Shoreline Management Act (RCW 90.58) and is subject to Ecology SMP Guidelines (WAC 173-26). • State and Local Partnership: The SMP is a partnership between local governments and Ecology. The SMP must be developed by the City of Pasco and approved by the City and Ecology. • Local Shoreline Vision: State law dictates what shoreline elements are required; however, there is a degree of latitude in several elements that can be crafted with particular attention to the City's vision for its shoreline. • Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulations: The SMP is an element of Pasco's comprehensive plan and part of the City's development regulations. Locally determined land uses and critical area regulations and watershed plans will be factored into the SMP. • Public Participation is a State Requirement: Public Participation is a state requirement and key component of the SMP update (WAC 173-26-090 and 100). Public participation will be important through all phases of the SMP update. Ultimately, the City Council will decide the final SMP outcome on behalf of Pasco citizens, but will desire the assurance that the SMP update has been developed with community input. • Easy and convenient access to project information is essential to the process, City staff and consultants will ensure that information is easy to obtain, useful, timely, and pertinent. Public Participation Plan Format To meet plan objectives and ensure project themes are consistently promoted, the remainder of this document addresses the following: • Audiences • Outreach activities • Roles and responsibilities • Schedule Audiences The PPP is designed to reach all audiences that may have an interest in the SMP update process. It will also be designed to reach out to other groups and individuals—those that may not yet have an interest or be compelled to participate—to encourage their awareness, understanding, and involvement in the process. The City has identified the following particular audiences that are important to contact and engage: • General public: Interested citizens across the community; • Property owners: Property owners in the shoreline including residents, business owners, and governmental agencies, Clty of Nalco SNIP Public Participation F11-4p, • Environmental groups and non-governmental organizations (NGOs): Organizations with expertise and/or interest in shoreline issues; • Tribes: Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation; • Governmental Agencies: State and federal agencies with expertise such as Ecology, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, National Marine Fisheries Service, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and others; local commissions and the City Council; • Utilities and Transportation: Power and gas providers and railroad operators; and • Media: Local news outlets. Outreach activities should be focused on keeping these groups fully informed and updated as to project progress, meetings, and key decision-making points. The public involvement activities are designed to prevent last minute surprises or perceptions from these groups that they have not been adequately informed or have been discouraged from participating in the process. Table 1 lists specific audiences important to engage in Pasco concerning the SMP. November 5, 2013 Table 1.

Similarly, other materials will be made available on the City Web site, at the Community and Economic Development Department, and at the Pasco Library as appropriate. A draft schedule is located at the conclusion of this document. Periodic and ongoing activities are described below, including meetings and outreach tools. Meetings Planning Commission Pasco Planning Commission meetings will be held at key stages of the SMP update and are anticipated to occur as part of regularly scheduled meetings. Shoreline property owners and Pasco citizens will be invited to attend key Planning Commission meetings and help provide input in information workshop settings. The Planning Commission will provide direction and recommendations on SMP products. City staff will support the Planning Commission with agendas and any necessary materials. The consultant team will attend upon City request and provide electronic documents to the City for appropriate meetings. The Planning Commission chair will facilitate meetings. Planning Commission meetings will include particular invitations to shoreline stakeholders, such as property owners, and be conducted to gain public feedback as well as Planning Commission input and recommendations.The following Planning Commission meetings are anticipated: • SMP Introduction — November 2013: Obtain Planning Commission input and recommendation regarding shoreline jurisdiction boundaries and public participation approaches. • Shoreline Visioning —September/October 2014: Following completion of the shoreline inventory and analysis report, conduct a public open house and a Planning Commission meeting. • SMP Review —Winter 2014-Spring 2015: Planning Commission meetings to discuss and obtain feedback on the draft SMP. • Local Adoption Process — Summer/Faill 2015: Planning Commission Public hearing and recommendations to City Council. November 5, 2013 City Council City staff will periodically brief the City Council or Council Committee about the SMP Update efforts. The City Council will be invited to all Planning Commission meetings; if appropriate to the topic joint meetings may be held between the City Council and. Planning Commission. Following Planning Commission recommendations, the City Council will consider the SMP Update. The Council may at its discretion hold an additional public hearing if appropriate prior to taking action. Visioning Workshop and Meeting A visioning workshop will be held to capture citizen goals and aspirations with respect to the findings of the shoreline inventory and assessment. The meeting is anticipated to be a broad community-wide meeting in the evening, prior to or past of a regularly scheduled Planning Commission or City Council session. Prior to the visioning events, the consultant team will assist the City with development of a visioning plan and strategy including: • Purpose and desired outcomes of the meeting; • Appropriate meeting format (e.g., open house versus interactive stations); • Materials to communicate clearly and ensure broad understanding; • Key questions that need to be answered for next SMP steps; • Draft meeting agenda. A summary will be prepared and included in a visioning report supporting the next stage of SMP development. The consultant team and City staff will attend, facilitate and present information, as appropriate, at each event. The City will coordinate meeting logistics including facility arrangements, sign-in sheets and minutes. Outreach Tools Stakeholder Database City staff will maintain a list of stakeholders, community members, and organizations interested in receiving SMP public meeting announcements. Notice will be provided either by mail or email. The City will update the database with information after each public outreach activity to reflect individuals and organizations that attended each meeting, and to inventory and respond to project comments as appropriate. Outreach Materials Prior to each meeting, the City will notify stakeholders, community members, and organizations about key Planning Commission, City Council and special workshop meetings through one or more of the following means: GtV of Pasco SMP Public Participation P11a+1 • Direct mail or email to shoreline property owners • Email to interested community members and organizations • Posted flyers such as at City Buildings, Post Office, and Pasco library • Newspaper notice • Website postings Public hearings will also be posted through legal notices.
