III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The City has been preparing for and conducting negotiations with Charter for
renewal of the franchise agreement for the last 40 months. While some progress
had been made on issues, the City recently received, and acted to approve a
transfer agreement request from Comcast to assume the franchise agreement from
Charter. While the transfer must also be approved by the FCC (expected in the
spring of 2015), it makes no sense for the City and Charter to continue to
negotiate a franchise, which in all likelihood, will be utilized by Comcast. As the
current franchise is set to expire December 31, 2014, more time will be needed to
complete the renewal process following the transfer.
B) Staff proposes an extension, to September 30, 2015, to complete a renewal
franchise agreement with Comcast.
C) Under the proposed ordinance, Charter must provide its acceptance of the
extension within 12 -days of passage by the City (Charter has indicated its
acceptance of the extension to staff).
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Staff recommends approval of the ordinance authorizing the extension.

III. FISCAL IMPACT:

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. On November 20, 2011 the Planning Commission held a public hearing and deliberated
on the matter of allowing automobile rental and leasing businesses in the C-1 (Retail
Business) zone.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. The C-1 (Retail Business) zone was created to provide for the location of commercial
activities that meet the retail shopping and service needs of the community. Permitted
uses in the C-1 zone are low -impact retail sales and services.
B. In the 1980's special permit provisions for auto sales, including rental and leasing in the
C-1 zone were added to the code to help promote the reuse of abandoned gas stations. In
the Zoning Code the use "auto sales, including rental and leasing" is treated singularly
when in fact automobile sales, rental, and leasing businesses may occur independently of
one another.
C. Further review of automobile sales compared to automobile rental and leasing businesses
reveals significant differences between primarily sales and rental business types, which
may warrant separate treatment under the Zoning Code.
D. During the hearing and subsequent deliberations, the Planning Commission reviewed the
potential effects of regularly permitting automobile rental and leasing businesses in the
Retail Business zone with consideration for the current location of C-1 zoned properties.
E. Following discussion on the matter the Planning Commission recommended that
automobile rental and leasing be listed as a permitted use in C-1 (Retail Business) zones.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 20, 2014
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Shane O Neill, Planner I
SUBJECT: Automobile Rental and Leasing in the C-1 Zone Code Amendment (MF#
CA 2014-004)
Stemming from a recent land use request to allow automobile rentals in the C-1
(Retail Business) zoning district, staff is proposing to amend code language related
to the conditional uses and permitted uses of the C-1 zone. The proposal involves
lifting the requirement for special permit review for automobile rental/leasing
businesses in the C-1 zone, and to then relocate automobile rental/leasing to the
list of permitted use in the C-1 zone.
Pasco's special permit provisions for auto sales in the C-1 zone were added to the
code in the early 1980'x. It was about that time when many of the old service
stations in town were closing. After closing, it was difficult for the old gas stations
to be reused because they were built for a single purpose related to servicing
vehicles.
In an effort to assist with .the reuse of the old gas stations the zoning code was
amended with narrow locational requirements to ensure only the old service
stations would qualify for a special permit. Currently, the qualifying requirements
are listed in PMC 25.42.040(2) as follows:
(2) Retail automobile sales, including rental or leaseprovided the property
is:
(a) Located east of Highway 395 and is;
(i) Adjacent the intersection of two arterial streets, or
adjacent a single arterial street; provided it is not adjacent to or across
a public street right-of-way from a residential district,
(ii) Not located closer than 300 feet to any existing car lot.
(b) Located west of Highway 395 and north of I-182 provided any
point of the property is within 1, 000 feet of the I-182 WSDOT right-of-
way for a distance of 2,500 feet east and west of the center line of
Road 68 and Road 100/Broadmoor Boulevard, except properties zoned
for residential uses, and is:
(i) A new auto dealership.
The Commission may recognize the criteria listed above as being the subject of a
recent code amendment whereby locational requirements referencing specific
highways were added. The amendment at hand however, relates only to the
(MF# CA 2014-004) Page 1 of 3
Reference #2
underlined fragment that appears in subsection (2); which reads "including rental
or lease". Staff proposes to strike this language which was initially included when
Ordinance #2280 was adopted back in 1981. This would release the applicability
of special permit review and locational criteria from automobile rental/leasing
businesses only. In the opinion of staff, auto rental businesses are no more
intensive than some of the permitted uses listed in the C-1 zone.
By way of comparison, gas stations, grocery stores and restaurants, which are all
regularly permitted in the C-1 zone, generate more noise and traffic than a typical
car rental business. Furthermore, automotive sales lots commonly use impactful
business practices such as outdoor loudspeakers and lighting which may occur
late at night. Ancillary signs such as flags and inflatables are also used. The
inflatables and outdoor lighting are items which are sometimes powered by loud
generators, producing fumes and noise. These and other advertising techniques
which produce a high level of light, fumes and noise are disruptive when located
near residential neighborhoods. This is the reason auto sales businesses require
special permit review prior to locating in the Retail Business zone. Automobile
rental businesses however, do not use the same type of flashy advertising. Auto
rental/leasing is a retail service typically conducted in a fashion similar to retail
stores as they do not rely so heavily on right-of-way advertising.
For the reason of comparative or lesser impact intensity it may be appropriate to
eliminate the special permit requirement for automobile rental services and
transfer these businesses to the list of permitted uses in the Retail Business
zoning district. To assist the Planning Commission's discussion and decision staff
has included a city-wide zoning map which shows C-1 zoned properties and the
proximity of all other zoning districts. Additionally, the code amendment ordinance
is included.
If approved, under the current proposal retail automobile sales businesses would
continue to require special permit approval prior to their establishment in the C-1
zone. In the interest of retaining clarity of the code, staff also proposes to relocate
"automobile rental or leasing" to the list of permitted uses in the C-1 zone; thus
establishing said use as regularly permitted.
This matter was advertised and scheduled for a public hearing on November 20,
2014. Staff requests the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing and
develop a recommendation to City Council.
FINDINGS
1) In 1981, to help address an increasing number of vacant service stations the
city developed special permit provisions within the C-1 zoning regulations to
permit the adaptive reuse of the old service station as auto sales facilities
including automobile rental and leasing facilities.
2) Automobile rental and leasing is a type of retail service.
3) The purpose of the C-1 zone is to provide for the location of commercial
activities that meet the retail shopping and service needs of the community.
(My# CA 2014-004) Page 2 of 3
Reference #2
4) In many areas of the City C-1 zoned properties located are adjacent to a
variety of residentially zoned properties.
5) Automobile sales businesses are known for business practices which are
disruptive to less intense land uses such as residences and offices.
6) It is uncommon for automobile rental and leasing businesses to use
advertising techniques which are disruptive to less intense land uses such
as residences and offices.
RECOMMENDATION
MOTION: I move the Planning Commission adopt the findings of
fact as contained in the November 20, 2014 staff memo on automobile
rental and leasing the in C-1 Zone.
MOTION: I move the Planning Commission recommend the City
Council adopt the proposed C-1 zoning code amendments as attached to
the November 20, 2014 staff memo to the Planning Commission. .

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
November 20, 2014
A. Code Amendment Car Rentals in C-1 (Retail Business) Zones
IMF# CA 2014-0041
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from
staff.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, discussed the code
amendment for car rentals in C-1 (Retail Business) Zones. The Planning
Commission has spent a lot of time discussing automobile sales in C-1 Zones
in the past few years revising existing regulations. Through a recent land use
request to allow automobile rentals in the C-1 Zoning District, Staff noticed
that retail automobile sales, including rental and lease uses, were precluded
from the C-1 Zone if certain conditions weren't met, such as adjacent to an
arterial or within a certain distance of any existing car lot. After looking at the
history, identified in the staff report, Staff proposes that the restrictive
language be stricken, which was established in the early 1980's from an
ordinance developed to allow corner gas stations to be reused as car sales lots.
Car sales differ drastically from car rental operations; they do not have the
operational characteristics that include loud advertising and don't necessarily
rely on drive-by traffic. Staff feels that this code amendment is tightly written
and asked for Planning Commission discussion and if appropriate, a
recommendation for this code amendment to move forward to City Council.
Chairman Cruz clarified that this would be car rental, such as Enterprise, that
was located on 20th and Sylvester.
David Davis, 5107 Desert Plateau, spoke in support of this code amendment
and stated that it would benefit him as well as the community. He wishes to
lease his property to Enterprise for the use of car rental. They wish to invest
money in this property and make improvements.
Michelle Keen, 620 N. 2011, Avenue, of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, spoke in support
of this code amendment. She explained that they are hopeful to occupy Mr.
Davis' location that would better suit their needs. They have been in the
community for over 20 years but would like a little nicer location with a more
sustainable building and better parking.
With no further questions or comments the publichearing closed.
Commissioner Khan asked for clarification that the only thing stricken would
Reference #3
be, "...including rental or lease".
Staff nodded yes.
Commissioner Khan moved, seconded by Commissioner Kempf, to adopt the
findings of fact as contAined in the November 20, 2014 staff memo on
automobile rental and lleasing in the C-1 Zone. The motion passed
unanimously.
Commissioner Khan mov d, seconded by Commissioner Kempf, recommend
the City Council adopt thel proposed C-1 zoning code amendments as attached
to the November 20, 2014 staff memo to the Planning Commission. The
motion passed unanimously.

12/8: DISCUSSION:
12/15: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. , a resolution
requesting modification of the Urban Growth Boundary by
Franklin County.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
NONE
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. The Growth Management Act (GMA) (RCW 36.70A.110) requires the
establishment of Urban Growth Areas (UGA). Pasco's first UGA was established in
April of 1993 and has been modified only four times since then. The designation of
the Pasco UGA was not only guided by the GMA Goals, but also by the provisions
of RCW 36.70A.110.
B. Farm 2005, LLC, the owner of 160 acres of farm land directly north of the City
limits, has applied for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment that would revise the
Urban Growth Area (UGA) to include 160 acres currently outside the Pasco UGA.
The property in question is located at the northeast corner of Road 52 and
Powerline Road.
C. Staff met with the property owner and Port to review the application of airport
zoning regulations against the proposed UGA expansion.
D. The new Airport Zoning regulations prohibit development on 33.5 acres of the
proposed 160 -acre site and limit another 41 acres to two dwelling units per acre.
Without the ability to develop the entire site at urban densities the Planning
Commission recommended (with owner and Port concurrence) a reduced site for
the UGA expansion as depicted on the attached Overview map.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. Urban Growth Boundaries are required by the GMA to contain a sufficient land
area to accommodate expected population growth for a 20 year planning horizon.
The population projections provided by the State Office of Financial Management 4(c)
for Pasco's 20 year planning horizon (2007-2027) indicates Pasco's UGA
population could be about 87,300 by 2027. Adjusted for growth since 2007 an
additional 19,530 people need to be accommodated within the UGA by 2027.
There are about 2,600 acres of vacant land in the City's UGA potentially available
for residential development.
B. Because of gravel mining, distance from utilities, past subdivision practices, high
land prices and lack of development interest only about a quarter of the vacant land
within this UGA (650 acres) could be used for residential development. Based on
our population projection the City will need 1,222 acres of land to accommodate the
housing needed to match the population.
C. By law Franklin County is the entity charged with the responsibility and authority
to establish UGA's. The City can only make proposals for the UGA, but cannot
actually create the UGA. It has been the practice of the Council to memorialize the
City's preferred or recommended UGA in the form of a Resolution. If approved,
this will allow the City to modify the land use map of the Comprehensive Plan. This
will be done by ordinance once the UGA modification has been approved by the
County.

A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE PREFERRED URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY
FOR THE CITY OF PASCO.
WHEREAS, the City of Pasco and Franklin County are planning under the State
Growth Management Act (GMA) of 1990 as amended; and
WHEREAS, The GMA (RCW 36.70A.I10) requires the establishment of Urban
Growth Areas (UGA); and
WHEREAS, the goals of the Growth Management Act related to UGA's include:
i) Encouraging development of urban areas where adequate public facilities
and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner,
ii) Reducing the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling
low-density development; and,
iii) Maintaining and enhancing natural resource-based industries, including
productive timber, agriculture, and fisheries industries; and
and WHEREAS, each city located in Franklin County must be included within a UGA;
WHEREAS, UGA's are to encompass lands within the City's recognized utility
service area; and
WHEREAS, UGA's may include portions of the County already characterized by
urban growth or adjacent to urban growth. and
WHEREAS, designated UGA's are to include enough undeveloped land to
adequately accommodate forecasted growth for a 20 year planning period; and
WHEREAS, forecasted growth is determined by population projections provided
by the State Office of Financial Management; and
WHEREAS, the GMA mid-range population projections for the County anticipate
Franklin County will grow to over 100,000 people during the 20 year planning horizon;
and
WHEREAS, for planning purposes during the development of the 2007
Comprehensive Plan update, City and County Planners assume 85 percent of future
population growth in Franklin County would occur in the Pasco UGA; and
and WHEREAS, Pasco's UGA population is expected to be about 87,300 by 2027;
WHEREAS, to reach the projected population the City will need to accommodate
another 19,530 people; and
Pagel of 3
WHEREAS, there are over 2,500 acres of raw undeveloped land within the Pasco
UGA designated for residential development. At least 1,222 acres are needed to
accommodate the projected growth; and
WHEREAS, twelve owners control 2,117 acres of raw land within the UGA
designated for residential development. Due to various constraints much of this land
cannot or will not be developed within the near future. Development constraints include
lack of utility service, land prices, gravel mining leases and contracts, and lack of
development interest on the part of the owners; and
WHEREAS, while the County "donut hole" areas contain approximately 300 acres
of undeveloped land that is occupied by hobby farms, pastures, horse corals and
gardens; and has limited utility for residential developed due to poor subdivision
practices of the past, and lack of access to public streets; and
WHEREAS, the remaining five major subdivisions available (228 acres of
buildable land) for new housing construction are controlled by a limited number of
builders; and
WHEREAS, the last land sale for a subdivision (Three Rivers West) was about 30
percent higher than comparable sales in the recent past. The owners that sold the 50 acres
for Three Rivers West control another 450 acres of vacant land within the UGA
boundary; and
WHEREAS, State and local housing goals encourage the provision of affordable
housing (RCW 36.70A.210(3)e and County Policy #6) within the community; and
WHEREAS, On December 31, 2012 the Port of Pasco purchased 30 acres of land
in the Northwest Commons subdivision for a runway protection zone. This purchase
removed 30 acres of residential land from the UGA inventory; and
WHEREAS, On July 15, 2013 the zoning code was updated to include revisions to
the airport zoning regulation which will limit the densities on about. half of the site in
question. Reducing the density will reduce the impact on utility providers including the
City's sewer utility; and
WHEREAS, the site in question as shown in Exhibit "I" is currently being farmed
but is not designated as farmland with long-term commercial significance; and
WHEREAS, in the past ten years the Franklin County Public Utilities District
(PUD) built one new substation and completely rebuilt and significant expanded another
to ensure electrical needs will be met within the UGA.; and
WHEREAS, the City recently built a new water filter plant on West Court Street
near Road 111 to increase capacity to provide potable water to current and future
residents; and
WHEREAS, a new potable municipal water intake structure and pump house will
be built on West Court Street near the new water plant to increase pumping capacity; and
Page 2 of 3
WHEREAS, early next year the main Butterfield Water Plant intake structure in
the Columbia River will be rebuilt to improve pumping capacity; and
WHEREAS, the applicant has been investigating the possibility of providing
additional sewer capacity to the area by constructing a force main east of 4th Avenue;
and
WHEREAS, the site as shown in Exhibit "1" is encumbered with Airport Use
Zones #2 and #4. Zone #2 prohibits residential development of any kind and Zone #4
limits residential development to two units per acre; and
WHEREAS, The Pasco City Council has reviewed and accepted the Planning
Commission recommendation; and
WHEREAS, the Pasco City Council has determined the Pasco Urban Growth
Area boundary must be expanded to permitted the City to properly plan for future growth
as required by the Growth Management Act; NOW THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO:
Section 1. That the boundaries identified in Exhibit "1" are the preferred
boundary lines for the Pasco Urban Growth Area. The preferred boundary will
accommodate the projected population in a geographic area most likely to experience
development pressure and which presents the best opportunity for the City to logically
and economically extend its utility and emergency services systems.
Section 2. That this resolution be forwarded to Franklin County for its due
consideration of the City Council's position when the Franklin County Planning
Commission and/or Franklin County Board of Commissioners determine whether or not
to modify the Pasco Urban Growth Boundary.
Passed by the City Council of the City of Pasco this day of
.2014.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 20, 2014
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Jeff Adams, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Urban Growth Area Expansion (MF# CPA14-002) (Farm 2005 LLC
Farm 2005, LLC., the owner of 160 acres of farm land directly north of the City
limits, has applied for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment that would revise the
Urban Growth Area (UGA) to include 160 acres currently outside the Pasco
UGA. The property in question is located at the northeast corner of Road 52
and Powerline Road. The site is northeasterly of the new Rosalind Franklin
Elementary School. The following provides the historical background on Urban
Growth Areas and may help with arriving at a recommendation on this request.
The 1990 Growth Management Act (GMA) required the establishment of Urban
Growth Areas (UGA's) around urban centers throughout the State. Urban
Growth Areas have become a key component in managing urban growth within
Washington. Urban Growth Areas define the area in which a community is to
encourage higher density urban development and the area in which urban
services can be supported and promoted. Land located outside UGA's are to be
reserved for the promotion of rural density and functions. By directing growth
to UGA's natural resource lands such as farmlands and forest lands can be
conserved and the character of rural areas can be maintained for future needs.
Pasco's first Urban Growth Area was established in April of 1993 and has been
modified only four times since then. The designation of the Pasco UGA was not
only guided by the GMA Goals (see attachment #1), but also by the provisions
of RCW 36.70A.110 the most pertinent portions of which are as follows:
• Each county that is required or chooses to plan under RCW
36.70A.040 shall designate an urban growth area or areas within
which urban growth shall be encouraged and outside of which
growth can occur only if it is not urban in nature.
• Each city that is located in such a county shall be included within
an urban growth area.
• An urban growth area may include territory located outside of a
city only if such territory already is characterized by urban growth
whether or not the urban growth area includes a city, or is
adjacent to territory already characterized by urban growth, or is a
designated new fully contained community as defined by RCW
36.70A.350.
• Based upon the growth management population projection made
for the county by the Office of Financial Management, the county
and each city within the county shall include areas and densities
sufficient to permit the urban growth that is projected to occur in
the county or city for the succeeding twenty-year period, except for
those urban growth areas contained totally within a National
Historical Reserve.
• Each city must include areas sufficient to accommodate the broad
range of needs and uses that will accompany the projected urban
growth including, as appropriate, medical, governmental,
institutional, commercial, service, retail, and other non-residential
uses.
• Each urban growth area shall permit urban densities and shall
include greenbelt and open space areas.
• An urban growth area determination may include a reasonable
land market supply factor and shall permit a range of urban
densities and uses. In determining this market factor, cities and
counties may consider local circumstances.
• Urban growth should be located first in areas already characterized
by urban growth that have adequate existing public facility and
service capacities to serve such development, second in areas
already characterized by urban growth that will be served
adequately by a combination of both existing public facilities and
services and any additional needed public facilities and services
that are provided by either public or private sources, and third in
the remaining portions of the urban growth areas. Urban growth
may also be located in designated new fully contained communities
as defined by RCW36.70A.350. .
• In general, cities are the units of local government most
appropriate to provide urban governmental services. In general, it
is not appropriate that urban governmental services be extended to
or expanded in rural areas except in those limited circumstances
shown to be necessary to protect basic public health and safety
and the environment and when such services are financially
supportable at rural densities and do not permit urban
development.
2
Based on State law, the Pasco UGA is to include all lands within the city and
may include lands outside the City if the lands are urban in nature or adjacent
to territory that is already characterized by urban growth. Development within
the UGA is to occur first on lands that currently have adequate public facility
and service capacities and secondly on lands that will be served adequately in
the fixture. The UGA needs to contain a sufficient amount of land to
accommodate expected growth for the 20 year planning horizon. The expected
growth is determined by county wide population projections prepared by the
State Office of Financial Management (OFM). In addition to the population
projections the city must also considered land needs for parks and open space,
school, retail businesses, offices, industrial buildings and other land uses. In
the determination for UGA land needs local market supply factors may also be
considered.
The local market supply factor is beginning to become an issue within the
UGA. The large remaining tracts of land that could be used for future
residential development are controlled by a few individuals or companies.
Additionally the remaining five major subdivisions available (228 acres of
buildable land) for new housing construction are likewise controlled by a
limited number of builders. As a result prices for raw land to develop
subdivisions are rising.
The last sale of land for a subdivision (Three Rivers West) was about 30 percent
higher than comparable sales in the recent past. The owner's that sold the 50
acres for Three Rivers West control another 450 acres of vacant land within the
UGA. Increasing land costs resulting from limitations created by the UGA
boundary are at odds with State and local housing goals to provide affordable
housing (RCW 36. 70A.210(3)e and County Policy # 6) for the community.
Twelve owners control 2,117 acres of raw land within the UGA designated for
residential development. Due to various constraints much of this land cannot
or will not be developed within the near future. Development constraints
include lack of utility service, land prices, gravel mining leases and contracts
and lack of development interest on the part of the owners.
The County donut hole areas contain approximately 300 acres of undeveloped
land that could be used for future housing development. Much of this vacant
land is occupied by hobby farms, pastures, horse corrals and gardens. It is
difficult to predict how soon these parcels will be available for development.
Some of the parcels have limited utility for residential developed due to poor
subdivision practices of the past. Many of these parcels are remnant lots with
odd shapes that lack access to public streets. If development occurs on these
parcels the densities will be very low.
With much of the large useable remaining vacant parcels under limited
ownership prices tend to rise impacting the affordability of housing. This is the
3
reason the Growth Management Act included a provision for adding additional
land to the UGA for a market supply factor so land prices are not driven
unreasonably high. As Linda Loviisa, First Place and Northwest Commons
continue to develop the market demand on the remaining vacant parcels will
continue to increase. Increasing the UGA slightly will help moderate that
market demand.
Another condition impacting the market factor of available residential
properties within the UGA is the fact that in 2012 Port of Pasco purchased 30
acres within Northwest Commons permanently removed 30 acres of land from
the residential inventory. The property was purchased for a future runway
protection area to enable future airport expansion. The airport protection
zones will also impact the property included in the proposed UGA boundary
amendment. Approximately 73 acres of the proposed site is located under an
approach/departure zone which limits residential density to two dwelling units
per acre. While the request is to include a total of 160 within the UGA
boundary the resulting increase to the buildable lands inventory will be
negligible.
One of the purposes of establishing UGA's is to preserve resource lands and
prevent them from being lost to urban development. The site in question is
currently being farmed but is not designated as farm land with long term
commercial significance. The land did not meet the test used by the County for
classifying the land for prime farm land. The soils on this land are not
considered prime agricultural soils. The land is located between an urbanizing
portion of the City and the Clark Addition which is urban in nature and
extensively developed. The site is also across Road 52 and to the northeast of
the new Rosalind Franklin Elementary School. These factors all impact the
long term viability of the site for commercial agriculture.
The population projections provided by the State Office of Financial
Management for Pasco's 20 year planning horizon (2007-2027) indicates
Pasco's UGA population could be about 87,300 by 2027. Adjusted for growth
since 2007 an additional 19,530 people need to be accommodated within the
UGA by 2027. The UGA will therefore need to include enough land area to
accommodate at least another 19,530 people by 2027. Between the tightly
controlled subdivisions, large vacant tracts and donut hole properties there are
about 2,600 acres of vacant land in the City's high growth area potentially
available for residential development. Realistically though because of gravel
mining, distance from utilities, past subdivision practices, high land prices and
lack of development interest only about a quarter of the vacant land could be
used for residential development. Based on our population projection the City
will need 1,222 acres of land to accommodate the housing needed to match the
population.
n
Population projections, land market factors, and preservation of resource lands
are not the only items to consider when determining the extent of the UGA.
Utility capacities should also be considered.
A new water filter plant was constructed on Court Street near Road 111
between 200 and 2010 to increase the cities capacity to provide potable water
to the community. In the near future (waiting for Army Corp of Engineer
approval) a new water intake structure and pump house will be built on West
Court Street near the new water plant to increase pumping capacity. Early
next year the main Butterfield water plant intake structure in the Columbia
River will be rebuilt in improve pumping capacity.
The Franklin County PUD and Big Bend Electric built a new substation north
of the Columbia Place subdivision (west of Road 68 north of Snoqualmie) in
2004. The PUD also enlarged and upgraded the Road 52 and Argent
substation last year to support future growth in the community. The PUD five
year capital plan calls for a new substation to be located north of Power Line
Road to the east of Convention Drive which will further add to the PUD's
capacity to serve the community with power needs.
This UGA expansion application was reviewed by the Planning Commission in
2010 and was not recommended for approval mainly because of concerns over
the capacity of the sewer system in the area. Since that time modeling studies
have shown previous studies on sewer capacity were overly conservative. As a
result the Northwest Commons subdivision that was previously approved partly
for septic tank usage has now been granted approval to be completely served
by the sewer system. A lift station will be constructed in Northwest Commons
a short distance from the subject property. The applicant has also been
considering the development of a force main to the east of the site to connect
with the sewer system in 4th Avenue. The biggest change however between the
current application and the 2010 is the fact that the new airport zoning
regulations will reduce the density on the site such that only about half of the
site will be able to accommodate urban densities matching existing
development on adjacent parcel to the south. This lowered density will cause
less of an impact on the City's sewer system. Airport Zone # 2 and #4 through
the center portion of the site will have severe density restrictions. The 33.5
acres within Zone # 2 will not be able to contain any homes and the 41 acres in
Zone 4 will limit development to two units per acre.
Findina of Fact
The following are initial findings drawn from the background and analysis
section of the staff report. The Planning Commission may add additional
s
findings to this listing as the result of factual testimony and evidence
submitted during the public hearing.
1. The GMA (RCW 36.70A.110) requires the establishment of Urban
Growth Areas.
2. The goals of the Growth Management Act related to UGA's include: i)
Encouraging development of urban areas where adequate public
facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner;
ii) Reducing the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into
sprawling low-density development; and, iii) Maintaining and enhance
natural resource based industries, including productive timber,
agriculture, and fisheries industries.
3. Each city located in Franklin County must be included within a UGA.
4. UGA's are to encompass lands within the City's recognized utility
service area.
5. UGA's may include portions of the County already characterized by
urban growth or adjacent to urban growth.
6. Designated Urban Growth Areas are to include enough undeveloped
land to adequately accommodate forecasted growth for a 20 year
planning period.
7. Forecasted growth is determined by population projections provided
by the State Office of Financial Management.
8. The GMA mid-range population projections for the County anticipate
Franklin County will grow to over 100,000 people during the 20 year
planning horizon.
9. For planning purposes during the development of the 2007
Comprehensive Plan update, City and County Planners assume 85
percent of future population growth in Franklin County would occur
in the Pasco UGA.
10. Pasco's UGA population is expected to be about 87,300 by 2027.
11. To reach the projected population the City will need to accommodate
another 19,530 people.
12. There are over 2,500 acres of raw undeveloped land within the Pasco
UGA designated for residential development. At least 1,222 acres are
needed to accommodate the projected growth.
C
13. Twelve owners control 2,117 acres of raw land within the UGA
designated for residential development. Due various constraints
much of this land cannot or will not be developed within the near
future. Development constraints include lack of utility service, land
prices, gravel mining leases and contracts, and lack of development
interest on the part of the owners.
14. The County donut hole areas contain approximately 300 acres of
undeveloped land that could be used for future housing development.
Much of this vacant land is occupied by hobby farms, pastures, horse
corrals and gardens. Some of the parcels have limited utility for
residential developed due to poor subdivision practices of the past.
Many of these parcels are remnant lots with odd shapes that lack
access to public streets.
15. The remaining five major subdivisions available (228 acres of
buildable land) for new housing construction are controlled by a
limited number of builders.
16. The large remaining tracts of land within the UGA are controlled by
twelve owners causing the local market supply factor to become an
issue.
17. The last land sale for a subdivision (Three Rivers West) was about 30
percent higher than comparable sales in the recent past. The owners
that sold the 50 acres for Three Rivers West control another 450 acres
of vacant land within the UGA boundary
18. State and local housing goals encourage the provision of affordable
housing (RCW 36. 70A.210(3)e and County Policy # 6) within the
community
19. Since 2010 the Port of Pasco purchased 30 acres of land in the
Northwest Commons subdivision for a runway protection zone. This
purchase removed 30 acres of residential land from the UGA
inventory.
20. Since 2010 the zoning code has been updated to include revisions to
the airport zoning regulation that will limit the densities on about half
of the site in question. Reducing the density will reduce the impact
on utility providers including the City's sewer utility.
21. The site in question is currently being farmed but is not designated as
farm land with long term commercial significance. The land did not
meet the test used by the County for classifying the land for prime
farm land. The soils on this land are not considered prime agricultural
soils.
7
22. In the past ten years the Franklin County PUD built one new
substation and completely rebuilt and significant expanded another to
ensure electrical needs will be met within the UGA. The five year
capital plan for the PUD calls for a another new substation to be
located north of Power Line Road to the east of Convention Drive
which will further add to the PUD's capacity to serve the community
with power needs.
23. The City recently built a new water filter plant on West Court Street
near Road 111 to increase capacity to provide potable water to current
and future residents.
24. In the near future (waiting for Army Corp of Engineer approval) a new
water intake structure and pump house will be built on West Court
Street near the new water plant to increase pumping capacity.
25. Early next year the main Butterfield water plant intake structure in
the Columbia River will be rebuilt in improve pumping capacity.
26. A recent analysis of the sewer system capacity in the area east of
Road 68 north of I-182 has indicated more capacity than previously
thought. As a result all of the Northwest Commons subdivision will be
able to be served by sewer.
27. A new lift station will be built in the Northwest Commons subdivision
a short distance from the subject site.
28. The applicant has been investigating the possibility of providing
additional sewer capacity to the area by constructing a force main
easterly to 4th Avenue.
29. The site is encumbered with Airport Use Zone #2 and Zone #4. Zone
# 2 prohibits residential development of any kind and Zone # 4 limits
residential development to two units per acre.
Conclusions
Based on the GMA population projections for Franklin County the City of Pasco
must plan for an additional population of about 19,530.
The project population for the City will require about 1,222 acres for the
development of dwelling units.
Most of the remaining (2117 acres) vacant acreage in the UGA is control by 12
property owners which could be impacting the market through higher land
prices. The most recent subdivision (Three Rivers West) purchase was about 30
percent higher than similar purchases in the past.
8
The limited subdivisions available for new housing are tightly controlled by a
few builders.
In recent years the Franklin County PUD has increased its capacity to provide
electrical service to the community by upgrading substations or building new
substations. The five year capital plan for the PUD includes the construction of
a new substation north of Power Line Road east of Convention Drive.
Since 2010 the City has increased its ability to provide potable water to the
community. Further increases will be shortly realized with the reconstruction
and improvement of the Butterfield plant intake structure and the construction
of a new pump house and intake structure for the West Pasco water plant.
Utility demands for development of the subject site has been greatly reduced
since 2010 due to development limitation now in place as a result of the
updated airport zoning regulations.
The new Airport Zoning regulations prohibit development on 33.5 acres of the
proposed site and limit another 41 acres to two dwelling units per acre.
Without the ability to develop the entire site at urban densities it may be
advisable to exclude most of the site from the Urban Growth Area.
Based on the findings and conclusion the Planning Commission should
consider only include. about half of the site within the Urban Growth Area.
Recommendation
MOTION: I move to adopt findings of fact and conclusions therefrom as
contained in the November 20, 2014 staff report.
MOTION: I move based on the findings of fact and conclusions as
adopted the Planning Commission recommend the City
Council approve the proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendment expanding the Urban Growth Area as depicted
on Exhibit # 1.

F. Comprehensive Plan Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Modify the
Urban Growth Boundary (Farm 2005 LLCI IMF# CPA
2014-0021
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, discussed the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to modify
the Urban Growth Boundary. He stated the applicant is seeking to have the urban
Growth Boundary expanded to include 160 acres north of Northwest Commons. Mr.
McDonald explained the staff memo for contained pertinent sections of the Growth
Management Act relating to urban growth boundaries. The property is next to the city
limits and there is a new school and a new subdivision located to the south. There is a
provision within the law that the cities and counties can consider a local market supply
factor to provide a buffer and an opportunity to prohibit the boundary from being so
restrictive it would drive the price of property up. Mr. McDonald also shared concerns
with the local supply factor as well as concerns with the airport. Mr. McDonald briefly
discussed some possible uses on this property.
Tom Kidwell, 4320 Riverhaven Street, stated that including
growth boundary would be a natural progression of the city.

Ron Foraker of the Port of Pasco and Spencer Montgomery of J.U.B. Engineers spoke on
the application. Mr. Foraker stated over the past two years the Port of Pasco has worked
with the City of Pasco and Franklin County to safeguard future service capabilities of the
Airport. Ideally they would prefer there be no development on a runway approach to the
airport. There will be low-flying aircraft arriving and departing above the proposed site. In
planning of the airport overlay zone, it was agreed that no residential development would
be allowed in Zone 2 but the compromised reached was that Zone 4 would allow for large
lots due to some existing conditions on other runway approaches. Of the 160 acre parcel
that is being considered for the urban growth boundary, nearly half will be protected in
the approach zones. Because restrictions were not in place previously, the Port of Pasco is
-1-
forced to purchase 34 acres southeast of the subject property to retain protection for
growth of the airport. There will also be height restrictions on the entire parcel.
Chairman Cruz asked for clarification as to what land uses would conform to the airport
overlay zoning.
Mr. Foraker responded mostly farming.
Mr. Montgomery added that the overlay district would prohibit residential in parts of this
property and public assemblies or anything that would have a large amount of people
gather.
Chairman Cruz responded that this puts the Planning Commission in a tough spot since
part of the property can't be developed and other parts probably shouldn't or should be at
a lower density. He asked the applicant how these restrictions will affect his plan.
Mr. Kidwell answered half the property on the south side of the runway will be available
but he needs city water and in order to have city water they have to be in the urban
growth boundary. Mr. Kidwell added that even decreasing the size of the property to
include into the urban growth boundary would still facilitate his needs.
Chairman Cruz stated that it will become awkward for the land owner because this land
won't be large enough to be farmable and the rest would be limited on the amount of
homes.

Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, explained the Planning Commission held a hearing on this
matter last month. During the hearing the Port of Pasco read a letter into the record
expressing concern over possible development with Airport Compatibility Zones #2 and #4.
Following the hearing staff met with Port and Airport Management and the property owner
to review the areas of concern. As a result, staff recommended the proposed UGA
boundary change be modified to only include about 80 acres as shown on Map # 6
Chairman Cruz asked if the applicant was amiable to the change and if the Airport was in
agreement.
Mr. McDonald stated he had spoken with the applicant and the Port and they are in
general agreement.
Chairman Cruz said he was looking for head nods from the applicant and Port officials in
the back of the room which he received both the applicant and the Port officials.
Commissioner Bachart moved, seconded by Commissioner Portugal, to adopt the findings
of fact and conclusions therefrom as contained in the November 20, 2014 staff report. The
motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Bachart moved, seconded by Commissioner Portugal, based on the findings

HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. The Growth Management Act requires the City to review and update the
Comprehensive Plan every seven years. Minor updates can also be considered on an
annual basis. The City typically only undertakes an annual Comprehensive Plan
review when one or more applications have been received.

of Crescent Drive applied for a Comprehensive Plan amendment to have the land
use designation of their parcel changed from Low -Density Residential to Mixed -
Residential.
C. The Planning Commission held a hearing on the Walker application on October 16,
2014. Deliberations followed on November 20, 2014. Following the deliberations
the Planning Commission recommended the land use designation of the Walker
property be changed from low-density residential to mixed -residential.
D. The Planning Commission recommendation for changing the land use designation
of the Walker property was based on the findings listed in the attached staff Memo
to the Planning Commission.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. The Comprehensive Plan was adopted by ordinance and therefore must be amended
by ordinance. The proposed ordinance attached hereto will modify the land use map
of the Comprehensive Plan as recommended by the Planning Commission.
B. Adoption of the recommended Comprehensive Plan land use designation does not change
the property's existing zoning of RS -12, however it allows for a subsequent application to
be submitted for a rezone to higher density residential classification. 4(d`

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 20, 2014
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Dave McDonald, City Planner
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment (Walker) (MF# CPA 2014-003)
Roger and Kay Walker have applied to amend the Comprehensive Plan land use
designation of their property on Crescent Drive from Low -Density Residential to
Mixed -Residential. The property contains 4 acres and is located at the far north
end of Crescent Drive (4600 Block). The FCID right-of-way is located on the north
side of the property and Crescent Drive and the Wilson farm field are located to
the east.
The Walker property was annexed as a part of the Road 100 Annexation Area in
2000. Upon annexation the property was zone RS -12. In the early 2000's the
orchard on the property was removed in anticipation of development. The property
owners then prepared a site plan and rough building plans for a residential
condominium project in the mid -2000's. The project was unable to move forward
due to the Comprehensive Plan designation.
Surrounding properties to the north and east are set aside in the Comprehensive
Plan for mixed residential or commercial land uses. Accordingly the property to
the north was zoned R-4 High Density Residential and the farm field to the east
was zoned C-1 Retail Business. The farm field has not developed but the
property to the north now contains the Broadmoor Villas Apartment complex.
There are also 4 acres of vacant land to the north that is zoned R-4 and is been
held by the Broadmoor Villas Apartments as a future apartment expansion area.
The properties to the south of the Walker property on the west side of Crescent
Drive are developed with low-density single-family homes and the east side of
Crescent Drive remains undeveloped except for a church located at the corner of
Crescent Drive and Road 108. The east side of Crescent Drive north of the church
to the FCID right-of-way can be developed with a variety of retail and office types
businesses.
The Walkers are requesting a Comprehensive Plan change to designate their
property as an area for mixed residential development. The mixed residential
classification allows low-density to medium -density residential development with
zoning ranging from RS -20 to R-3. Housing styles under the Mixed Residential
category would include single-family homes, patio homes, townhouses,
condominiums and apartments.
The following Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies are applicable to this
application:
LU -3-B Policy: Encourage 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.
H-1. GOAL: ENCOURAGE HOUSING FOR ALL ECONOMIC
SEGMENTS OF THE CITY'S POPULATION.
H -1 -A Policy: Medium and high density housing should be
located near arterials and neighborhood or community
shopping facilities and employment areas.
H -1-B Policy: Support dispersal of special needs housing
throughout the community.
H -1-C Policy: Avoid large concentrations of high-density
housing.
H -1-D Policy: Support or advance programs that encourage
home ownership.
H-2. GOAL: STRIVE TO MAINTAIN A VARIETY OF HOUSING
CONSISTENT WITH THE LOCAL AND REGIONAL MARKET.
H -2 -A Policy: Allow for a full range of residential environments
including single family homes, townhouses, condominiums,
apartments, and manufactured housing.
H-4. GOAL: ENCOURAGE HOUSING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
THAT ENSURES LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY AND VALUE.
H -4-A Policy: Encourage innovative techniques in the design of
residential neighborhoods and mixed use areas to provide
character and variety in the community.
H -4-B Policy: Maintain development regulations and
standards that control the scale and density of accessory
buildings and homes to maintain compatibility with other
residential uses.
2
CF -2 -A Policy: Encourage growth in geographic areas
where services and utilities can be extended in an orderly,
progressive and efficient manner.
TR -1. GOAL: PROVIDE FOR AND MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE
TRANSPORATION SYSTEM CENTERED ON A CONVENIENT AND
INTEGRATED STREET NETWORK.
TR -3 Goal: Beautify the major streets of the City.
UT -1. GOAL: PROVIDE ADEQUATE UTILITY SERVICES TO THE URBAN
GROWTHAREA TO ASSURE THAT THE ANTICIPATED 20 -YEAR GROWTH IS
ACCOMMODATED.
Changing the Comprehensive Plan on the Walker property would allow a gradation
in housing density between the high density apartment development to the north
and the lower density single-family development to the south. The land use
designation change would also provide a greater range of options for development
of the property. The odd shape of the property and the elevation problems with
Crescent Drive make it difficult to develop the property with single-family homes.
The expense associated with elevating Crescent Drive to properly connect with
Chapel Hill Boulevard would be cost prohibitive for single-family development.
Crescent Drive will need to be elevated 12 or more feet above its current elevation
to achieve the proper grade for connection to Chapel Hill Boulevard. One of the
benefits of connecting Crescent Drive to Chapel Hill Boulevard is that traffic to
and from the site will not need to travel past the homes to the south on a regular
basis. Chapel Hill Boulevard is identified in the Major Street Plan as minor
arterial that is planned to connect with Crescent Drive. This connection will
complete the general circulation system for the area west of Road 100. The travel
distance from addresses on Crescent Drive to the intersection with Road 100 and
Chapel Hill Boulevard will be shortened by 1.34 miles. This street connection has
been planned for many years.
The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment will allow for a gradation in
housing densities as discussed above. This gradation in density will occur only
after a rezone is applied for. Permitting higher density development near or
adjacent to lower density development always raises the concerns over the impact
on property values in neighborhoods. Several single-family developments
(Columbia Place, Chapel Hill and Loviisa Farms) have been built adjacent to multi-
family developments in the past decade with no appreciable impact on property
values (per Franklin County Assessor records).
3
The Walker site contains two parcels of land both within Short Plat 2001-29. To
address perceived concerns about the possibility of higher density development
immediately adjacent to the existing lower density development the Planning
Commission may want to consider recommending changing the Comprehensive
Plan designation of the northern 3 acres only. Lot 1 would then serve as a buffer
between the single-family properties to the south and future mixed -residential
development to the north.
Findings of Fact
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 public hearing.
I. The site is located on in the 4600 block of Crescent Drive.
2. Crescent Drive is an unimproved gravel road.
3. Crescent Drive must be elevated 12 or more feet above its current
elevation to properly connect with the end of Chapel Hill Boulevard
when the property in question is developed.
4. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for low-density
residential development.
5. The site is zoned RS -12.
6. The Comprehensive Plan designates the properties directly to the
north and east of the site for mixed residential and commercial land
uses.
7. The property to the north of the site is zoned R-4 High Density
Residential.
8. The property to the east of the site is zoned C-1 Retail Business.
9. The vacant area directly north of the site is zoned for development of
more apartment units and is a future expansion area for Broadmoor
Villas.
10. With the connection of Crescent Drive to Chapel Hill Boulevard access
to the site will be from the north eliminating the need for traffic to
travel past the homes to the south.
11. The connection of Crescent drive with Chapel Hill Boulevard has been
included in planning documents for many years.
12. Due to the odd shape of the property and the fact Crescent Road will
need extensive fill development of the property with single-family
dwellings may be cost prohibitive.
13. The location of a mixed -residential area on the site could lead to the
development of apartments, condominiums or similar higher density
development adjacent to a lower density residential area.
14. Mixed residential development permits less intense development than
the existing C-1 zoning along the east side of Crescent Drive.
4
15. The location of higher density residential development adjacent to
lower density in other part of the community has shown to create no
appreciable impact on the value of nearby single-family properties
according to Franklin County Assessor records.
16. The site contains two lots for a total of 4 acres.
Conclusions
The site is located between an area of more intense land uses and an area of
less intense land uses with apartments permitted to the north and retail
businesses and offices permitted to the east. Consequently the site is in an
area of transition between more intense and less intense uses.
Modifying the Comprehensive Plan to designate the site for mixed residential
uses will enable the site to serve as a transition area or buffer between the
more intense apartment development to the north and the less intense single-
family development to the south.
Additionally amending the Comprehensive Plan designation for the site would
support the land use policy and housing goals identified on pages two and
three of this memo.
The extension of Crescent Drive to the north may be cost prohibitive for a
single-family development on the property. The completion of Crescent Drive
may be more feasible with a mixed residential development.
Recommendation
MOTION: I move to adopt findings of fact and conclusions
therefrom as contained in the November 20, 2014 staff report.
MOTION: I move based on the findings of fact and conclusions
therefrom, the Planning Commission recommend the City Council amend
the Comprehensive Plan designation for Short Plat 2001-29 to Mixed -
Residential.

G. Comprehensive Plan
CPA 2014-0031
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, discussed the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to modify
the urban growth boundary. The property is located at the north end of Crescent Drive
where it meets Chapel Hill Boulevard. The 3-4 acre site is currently zoned RS -12 and was
zoned that way when annexed in the 1980's. The applicants wish to develop the property
at a little higher density than RS -12. The property to the north is designated as mixed -
residential which would allow for apartments and the property to the east is zoned C-1
and the properties to the south are zoned RS -12. One of the issues to consider is that this
site is difficult to develop, particularly for single-family homes due to the elevation for the
on Crescent Dr. It would be cost prohibitive to develop single-family homes due to the
amount of fill needed for Crescent Dr. This is one of the reasons why they would like to
change the plan. Changing the designation would provide a transition or buffer between
the R-4 zoning to the north and RS -12 to the south.
Chairman Cruz added to build up the property for road access would be expensive.
Harvey Prickett, P.O. Box 34341, Pasco, WA with Wave Architects spoke on behalf of the
application. Initially this propertywas an orchard and the Walkers had plans to develop it
with a single-family home for themselves. When discussions with the Engineering
Department revealed issues with the road, grade and utilities, it was no longer
economically feasible for them to do so and they are now trying to adjust their plans. They
would like to see a townhome style of residence for this property.
Shawn Defferding, 4500 Crescent Road, stated that she was also speaking for other
neighbors near this property. They do not wish to see a buffer zone but would like to see a
single-family residence. She stated that it will change their quality of life and the
character of the neighborhood. Traffic increase was a main concern and they felt they will
get more traffic from this development. She stated that when Mediterranean Villas first
opened it was mostly seniors or adults and now they are renting and leasing to all ages
and there is concern the same will happen in this case. She noted that the applicants will
have to finish the infrastructure in front of their home but asked who would have to finish
the rest.
Chairman Cruz responded that the mixed residential nearby could easily be apartments
Chairman Cruz stated that some of the concerns are a little late due to the zoning of the
surrounding properties and that the nearby farm will not always be a farm.
Ms. Defferding responded that the surrounding neighbors had not understood that. They
thought that it would be more commercial zoning.
Chairman Cruz responded to the street closures and stated that he can't recall ever asking
for street closures and didn't know if that could even be done.
Mr. McDonald stated that the difficulty in this case is Crescent Drive and Road 108 are
identified in the Major Street Plan to connect to Chapel Hill Boulevard and in the future
there will be that connection. This area is within the urban growth boundary so this area
will develop and as it develops the street will have to go through.
Chairman Cruz asked for clarification as to how the street will get developed. He asked if
the road will be completed as needed.
Mr. McDonald answered that is correct and briefly explained the process.
Ms. Defferding asked how the land is going to be leveled for development.
Chairman Cruz answered that in order to get the street to City standards they will have to
fill it in. Once it is filled in there will need to be a wall or have it graded so there is a flat
spot to build on. Roughly 70% of that lot would be available to build on so there won't be
room for several units on this property, just enough to make the development costs
worthwhile.
Zana Griffith, 4205 Road 111, asked if Crescent Road would open up and feed into Chapel
Hill Boulevard.
Mr. McDonald responded the applicants will be responsible for building their portion of
the road.
Ms. Griffith asked for clarification on keeping a barrier to keep people from coming down
to Crescent Drive.
Mr. McDonald stated that it wouldn't be advisable and would eventually be removed.
Chairman Cruz discussed the option of an LID to help with street, road, sewer and
irrigation improvements and there may be a street plan. There was discussion between
Chairman Cruz and Ms. Griffith on the different options and what could potentially be
developed.
Mr. McDonald reminded the Planning Commission that at this time they should only be
considering the Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
Commissioner Polk addressed the problem of speeding from church traffic and suggested
that anyone with issues should contact the church to let them know.
Mr. McDonald stated that currently the church congregation shouldn't be able to use the
road because it is blocked off.
Mr. Pritchett stated that he agreed with many of the comments made and they too would
like to see the lowest speed. They plan to be responsible developers.
With no further questions or comments the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Bachart moved, seconded by Commissioner Kempf, to close the public
hearing and initiate deliberations and schedule adoption of findings of facts, conclusions
and a recommendation to the City Council for the November 20, 2014 meeting. The
motion passed unanimously.

D. Comprehensive Plan Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Change the
Land Use Designation from Low Density to Mixed
Residential (Roger & Kay Walker) IMF# CPA 2014-
0031
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, explained that the applicant's, the Walker Family are
requesting a Comprehensive Plan amendment to make their property consistent with the
properties to the north. Following additional discussion on neighborhood comments Mr.
McDonald suggested there were a couple of options for creating a buffer between the
proposed mixed -residential area and the lower density development to the south. One
option would be to leave a portion (Lot 1) of the Walker property out of the proposed
change allowing for a low-density buffer to be established. The other option would be to
establish a heavily landscaped buffer through a concomitant agreement when the property
was rezoned in the future. The Walkers preferred the concomitant agreement approach.
Chairman Cruz asked if the matter needed to be continued one month because of the way
the staff report was written.
After a brief discussion Mr. McDonald stated the Commission could simply read the
motion without the words for "Lot T. The motion would then apply to all of the Walker
property. Next year when the Walkers applied for a rezone the Planning Commission
could ensure a concomitant agreement included the buffer.
Chairman Cruz then explained they needed to provide sufficient density to allow the lot to
develop but yet do it in a way to not impact the lots to the southwest.
Commissioner Bachart asked what the definition of heavily landscaped meant.
Mr. McDonald explained that could be determined through the rezone process but, further
explained that the zoning regulation listed landscaping requirements for such situations
and the number of trees and shrubs are specified.
Commissioner Khan asked if the Planning Commission has decided there is a need for a
buffer between the higher and low-density housing.
Chairman Cruz stated that it was his understanding from the last month but, they had
not determined the mechanism to do so.
Commissioner Khan stated she did not feel there was a need for a buffer.
Commissioner Polk asked if there was some concern over the considerable slope where
Chapel Hill Boulevard met Crescent Drive and that fill was going to be needed.
Chairman Cruz stated the not all of the property would be able to be used for development
because of the needed fill but, the buffer seemed to be a good compromise to allow the
property to develop yet provide a buffer for properties to the south.
Commissioner Bachart stated he agreed with Chairman Cruz. The property across the
street could be developed (for commercial) tomorrow and a 25 foot buffer is very generous.
Commissioner Kempf moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to adopt findings of
fact and conclusions therefrom as contained in the November 20, 2014 staff report. The
motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Kempf moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, based on the
findings of fact and conclusions therefrom the Planning Commission recommend the City
Council amend the Comprehensive Plan designation for Short Plat 2001-29 to Mixed -
Residential. The motion passed unanimously.

2014 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
Date: December 3, 2014
To: Dave Zabell, City Manager
Rick Terway, Administrative & Community Services Director
From: Eva K. Lindgren, Interim Finance Manager
Subject: 2014 OPERATING AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS
BUDGET SUPPLEMENT
As is traditionally the case, a budget supplement is required to increase the legal spending
authority for those items unanticipated or indeterminable at the time the 2014 Annual Operating
and Capital Improvements Projects Budgets were adopted.
2014 OPERATING BUDGET SUPPLEMENT
Resources for the 2014 Operating Budget Supplement are unanticipated revenues, contributions
from active funds, and fund balances. The budget supplement ordinance will only list those
funds that will actually increase or decrease budgeted revenues and/or expenditures.
GENERAL FUND
The following departments require additional authority to cover unanticipated expenditures.
Please refer to the attached Exhibit to see the affected line items. The major changes by
department in the General Fund are described below. $2,508,000 of these additional expenditures
is covered by 2014 revenues in excess of original budget and by $732,984 use of fund balance.
The net increases in Department budgets are as follows:
Court
$170,000
City Manager's Office
233,000
Police
258,000
Fire
501,000
Admin. & Community Services
682,610
Community & Economic Dev.
93,000
Library
81,425
Non -Departmental
980.949
Total General Fund
$3,240,984
The City Manager's Office increase of $233,000 is primarily related to:
• Transitions in positions of City Manager and HR Manager, including overlapping time
on payroll, separation eligible payments, moving allowance, etc. ($164,000).
• Professional Services costs associated with unbudgeted AWC payment ($44,000).
Page 1
2014 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
The Police Department increase of $258,000 is primarily attributable to:
• Anticipated jail contract cost over -run ($170,000).
• Under -budgeted overtime ($50,000), due to injuries and administrative leave associated
with on -duty incidents.
The Fire Department increase of $501,000 is entirely attributable to wages and benefits:
• Overtime has historically been under -budgeted in the Fire Department. This year the
true -up comes to $140,000. Additionally, in anticipation of a union contract settlement,
the supplement includes ($361,000) for retro pay and wage adjustments.
The Administration and Community Services increase of $682,610 is primarily related to:
• Supplies for unbudgeted Facilities and Information Services ($183,664).
• Services for Billings, Facilities, Cyber Shop and Legal Services ($359,046). Of this
category the most significant components include an increase of $155,000 for billings
related to credit card service fees and $150,000 for legal combined services.
The Community and Economic Development increase of $93,000 reflects the netting of
reductions and increases to its budget.
• Wages and benefits were reduced by $55,000 and $35,000, respectively, due to unfilled
positions.
• The professional services increase of $183,000 was due to the need for additional
professional services to cover the unfilled positions and for housing project expenses
determined ineligible under HUD settlement.
The Library budget increase of $81,425 is primarily attributable to a projected budget overage
for organizational services of $73,000.
The Non -Departmental increase of $1,221,949 is primarily attributable to the following:
• Transfers out totaling $899,072. Of this amount, $300,000 is being transferred to the
Street Fund for the LED Street Lights project; $440,000 is being transferred to the
Stadium Convention Center to cover a negative fund balance; $38,000 is being
transferred to the Ambulance Fund to cover a possible collective bargaining agreement
settlement.
• Services totaling $191,877. Of this amount, $71,877 is to refund a tax over payment; the
remainder is to cover under -budgeted retiree medical services and insurance premiums
and claims by $90,000 and $30,000, respectively.
OTHER OPERATING FUNDS
STREET FUND
Budget changes for this fund all relate to various street related maintenance projects and studies.
Revenue changes consist of transfers in, franchise fees and private contributions. Some examples
of these projects are the Court Street ADA improvements, the School Flashing Beacon Upgrade,
and the LED Street Lights projects.
Page 2
2014 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
ARTERIAL STREET FUND
The Arterial Street fund provides project funding for construction work done on major streets.
Revenue changes consist of motor vehicle fuel tax and East Zone increases. Only $6,000 is
sought to cover a projected budget overage for consultant fees.
I-182 CORRIDOR TRAFFIC IMPACT FUND
The I-182 Corridor Traffic hnpact fund provides project funding for construction projects.
Revenue changes consist of a decrease in the estimated revenues from Traffic Impact.
STREET OVERLAY FUND
The Street Overlay Fund revenue increase is entirely attributable to Electric B&O Taxes.
Roadway maintenance projects and transfers out to the CII' projects require $150,000 and
$69,000 in additional appropriations.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT GRANT FUND
The Community Development Block Grant Program revenue changes are attributable to transfers
in to cover disallowed grant expenditures ($4,700); recognize an increase to program income of
$430,000 and a decrease of HUD grant funding of $320,000, as a result of the program income.
The HOME Program recognizes a net reduction to revenues of $50,000 and increases in
interfund transfers of $18,067 to cover disallowed grant expenditures. Additionally, a reduction
of $100,500 in budgeted expenditures is proposed due to the fact no additional properties will be
purchased prior to the end of the year. The NSP Fund budgeted expenditures is being reduced by
$55,000 for down payment assistance, due to no projects pending before year-end.
AMBULANCE FUND
A total expenditure budget increase of $272,840 is needed for the Ambulance Fund. Extended
medical time loss and a proposed contract settlement have increased wages and benefits
$158,000 over the original budget. The remaining balance represents under -budgeted insurance
premium & claims services. In order to cover the underage, $38,000 is being transferred in from
the General Fund.
CEMETERY FUND
The level of business at the cemetery was more than originally planned for resulting in additional
revenue ($14,000) and related cost ($33,000) increases.
BOULEVARD MAINTENANCE FUND
The Boulevard Maintenance Fund is expected to miss its revenue budget estimates by $42,000.
Appropriation increases of $434,592 are being sought to cover an interfund loan distribution of
$414,592 and increased maintenance supply costs totaling $20,000.
Page 3
2014 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
GOLF COURSE FUND
The golf course is expected to break even for the year, with the proposed reduction of the Golf
Course lease payments by $187,000. This reduction was largely driven by the anticipated
revenue shortfall associated with pro shop merchandise and season pass sales.
SENIOR CENTER FUND
Revenues consist of a one-time transfer in for $15,700. The appropriation request for $25,700 is
primarily to cover the cost of unanticipated repairs and upgrades to the Senior Center.
MULTIMODAL FUND
The appropriation request for $1,500 is to cover unanticipated budget over -run for wages.
MARINA FUND
The appropriation request for $7,000 is to cover unanticipated budget over -run for water.
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT LODGING FUND
As revenues came in higher than originally planned, expenditures are also higher to the Tri -
Cities Visitor and Convention Bureau as the fund is essentially a pass-through of revenues
collected.
LITTER ABATEMENT FUND
A transfer in from the General Fund for $5,000 is to ensure a positive fund balance.
REVOLVE ABATEMENT FUND
As revenues came in higher than originally planned, expenditures are also higher.
TRAC FUND
Revenues from the lodging tax came in higher than originally planned, and a payment
attributable to the prior year was paid in the current year, increasing the required appropriations
by $18,000.
PARK DEVELOPMENT FUND
This fund collects fees on new construction for park development. Collections exceeded the
budget by $45,000. An appropriation increase is for $15,000 for property tax assessments for the
purchase of park land near Chapel Hill Road.
Page 4
2014 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND
First and Second Quarter BEET revenues exceeded the budget by $400,000, which is reflected in
this request. This fund is contributing $301,000 to the Street Lights project and $1,087,575 to
the General CIP Fund to provide funds for the proposed 2014 supplemental capital projects.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND
The revenue budget is being increased by $1,627,000. Of this, $1,400,000 is for the interfund
loan approved by the Council on January 21, 2014. The remaining $227,000 is attributable to
the sale of assets. Of the $1,400,688 increase in appropriations being sought, $1,350,688 is for
the purchase of land and improvements originally intended for the Regional PFD Aquatics
Center.
STADIUM CONVENTION CENTER FUND
Of the proposed $462,000 increase to revenues, $440,000 is attributable to a one-time transfer
from the General Fund to cover a negative fund balance. GESA Stadium costs are slightly
higher than anticipated; an additional appropriation of $17,500 is being sought.
LID DEBT FUND
This fund provides temporary financing for LID construction. Construction during the current
year was slightly higher than budgeted which results in an additional transfer of $40,938.
Revenue increases totaled $173,000 — all attributable to assessment payments exceeded the
budget.
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION FUNDS
This fund collects funds from a variety of sources and constructs non-utility projects. Once
projects start other funding sources (e.g. grants) may come available. When projects are finished
under budget then additional funds are available to return from the construction fund. The 2014
Supplemental Budget of $1,628,252 relates to a variety of projects and generally represents
change in timing of expenditures between budget years. These expenditures are reflected and
offset by various funding (revenue) transfers to reflect updated construction schedules and return
of city funding replaced by federal grant funding.
WATER/SEWER UTILITY FUND
Proposed increases to the revenue budget total $1,067,500. Water Sales and Irrigation Sales, are
proposed for increases of $345,000 and $200,000, respectively. The proposed budget
appropriation increases total $1,470,146. Of this amount, $433,837 is for transfers out to the CIP
Fund to cover the cost on 2014 capital projects supplemental budget.
Page 5
2014 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT O & M (GOV'T) FUND
A transfer in for $24,255 is being proposed to cover the proposed increase to appropriations for
the same amount to cover the cost of unbudgeted supplies and services relating to the equipment
replacement fund primarily for unusual and costly hydraulic and engine repairs.
EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT O & M (UTILITY) FUND
Only an additional appropriation of $2,570 is being sought to cover cost of increased tire wear on
vactor and jet trucks.
EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT (GOV'T) FUND
Revenue increases total $79,288. Of this amount, $58,350 is attributable to transfers in from the
General Fund to cover the replacement of vehicles and equipment, and underfunded vehicles and
equipment. Proposed appropriation increases total $1,807,325. Of this amount, $1,400,000 is
for the interfund loan payment approved by the City Council on January, 21, 2014. Other
appropriation requests relate directly to the purchase of vehicles and equipment, including a
dump truck, a tractor, a mower, and ambulances.
EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT (UTILITY) FUND
All of the proposed revenue increases are for interfund revenues for the replacement of a 1992
dump truck. Of the $27,975 in increases in appropriations being sought, $18,115 is attributable to
the purchase of the dump truck replacement.
MEDICAL/DENTAL INSURANCE FUND
Due to new federal requirements, this fund was "closed" in late 2013, but the 2014 budget did
not reflect this. As a result, in this budget supplement, all budgetary accounts are being zeroed
out in this fund and budgets are being established in three new funds, in its place: the Medical
Insurance Fund; the Dental Insurance Fund; and the Vision Insurance Fund.
MEDICAL INSURANCE FUND
Revenues are being increased by $5,370,964 and appropriations are being increased by
$6,251,607. Of the revenues, $100,000 represents the transfer out from the Medical/Dental
Insurance Fund to remove a portion of its beginning fund balance.
DENTAL INSURANCE FUND
Revenues are being increased by $447,434 and appropriations are being increased by $395,600.
Page 6
2014 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
VISION INSURANCE FUND
Revenues are being increased by $54,351 and appropriations are being increased by $39,000. Of
the revenues, $44,251 represents the transfer out from the Medical/Dental Insurance Fund to
remove the remaining portion of its beginning fund balance.
2014 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET SUPPLEMENT
Some projects will be complete by the end of 2014 and will be closed and removed from the
Capital Improvement Budget. Also, during the course of the year some capital improvements
projects exceed their original appropriation and some are new and thus not included in the 2014
Capital Improvements Projects Budget. Therefore, a supplement to the 2014 Capital
Improvements Projects Budget is required. The total amount of projects with current authority is
$28,093,254. New projects total $1,548,758, continuing projects require increases of $1,147,749,
and closing projects require decreases of $1,068,255. Taking all of those factors into
consideration, the total new authority for capital projects comes to $29,721,506, of which
$12,090,755 will be closed at year end.
The total net increase in the Capital hnprovement Budget is $1,628,252.

III. FISCAL IMPACT:

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
NOTE: This item was originally discussed with Council at the meeting of September 8,
2014.
A) The City entered into an agreement with Franklin County for the financing,
construction and operation of the TRAC facility in 1994. The term of the
agreement is 30 years, ending May 2024. The agreement provides that the City
and County will equally share operating costs in excess of revenue from
operations in any calendar year (see Agreement, Section 8.4, page 29).
B) As the TRAC facility experiences cash flow shortages, mainly during summer
months, in 2006, the County deposited $200,000 into the TRAC fund to elevate
seasonal cash flows (see letter of 8/5/14). When the County's general fund
budget tightened up during the economic downturn, the County needed to return
$100,000 of the $200,000 advance.
C) The attached Addendum to the Interlocal Agreement sets forth the provision for
the City and County to equally share the responsibility to fund the $200,000 Cash
Flow Reserve Fund as requested by the County (letter of 8/15/14). The County
has approved the agreement and staff recommends Council approval as well.
