AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council January 21, 2015
FROM: Dave Zabell, City Manag�� Workshop Mtg.: 1/26/15
Regular Mtg.: 2/2/15
SUBJECT: Agreement with Gordon Thomas Honeywell for Federal Legislative Consulting
Services
I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Gordon Thomas Honeywell - Proposed Federal Agreement
11. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1/26: Discussion
2/2: MOTION FOR THE CONSENT AGENDA:
I move to approve the agreement with Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental
Affairs for federal legislative consultant services and, further, authorize the City
Manager to execute the agreement.
HI. FISCAL IMPACT:
$60,000 annually
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The city has contracted with the consulting firm of Gordon Thomas Honeywell
(GTH) for legislative assistance at the state level for several years. In early 2009,
the city entered into a separate agreement with the Washington DC division of
GTH to provide for legislative consulting services specifically geared to federal
funding for the Lewis Street Overpass Project.
B) The agreement with the Washington DC office expired on 12/31/14 and a new
agreement is necessary to sustain the consulting effort on the City's behalf in
Washington DC.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The proposed agreement is similar to the prior agreements, except for the dates.
The scope of work, as identified in the attachment to the agreement, still focuses
on funding for construction of the Lewis Street Overpass project but also includes
an emphasis on lowering Pasco Levee 12-2 as the final link in the Sacajawea
Heritage River Trail and efforts to establish relationships with newly elected
Representative Newhouse and his staff.
B) The expense of the contract remains unchanged at $5,000 monthly ($60,000
annually). The assistance of the consultant was beneficial in 2009 through
Representative Hastings' effort to obtain a $750,000 allocation for the Lewis
Street Overpass project in the 2010 federal budget. It is also critical to continue
working with the Washington State delegation and federal agency officials to
assure the best opportunity to have Pasco's projects included in future federal
funding bills and to project local influence on agency priorities.
C) Staff recommends renewal of the agreement under the terms listed
3(c)

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. On December 1, 2014, Council approved a Sign Code amendment providing
opportunities for local businesses participating in the WSDOT Motorist
Information Sign Program, to locate highway follow-through signs within city
rights-of-way where appropriate.
B. The owner of a local wine bar and tasting room has requested permission to locate
a follow-through sign on Road 100 meeting WSDOT prerequisites for
participating in the on -highway Motorist Information Sign Program. Because the
wine bar is located within the Broadmoor Outlet Mall which is not directly
accessed from Road 100, a follow-through sign is required by WSDOT.
C. The proposed right-of-way license agreement has been developed and will be
used as a required component of a right-of-way permit to allow the follow-
through sign to be constructed and installed.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. City Staff has worked with the applicant to design the sign and to identify an
appropriate location. As the applicant is willing to conform to both the Pasco
Municipal Code and the attached license agreement, staff recommends Council
approval.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
MASTER FILE NO: PP 2014-005 APPLICANT: Roger Bairstow
HEARING DATE: 12/18/2014 1111 Fish Hook Rd
ACTION DATE: 1/ 15/2015 Prescott, WA 99348
BACKGROUND
REQUEST: Preliminary Plat: Tierra Vida Division No. Two
1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Legal: The NW quarter of the SW quarter of Section 27, T9N, R30E W.M.
and a portion of the S half of the SW quarter of said Section 27 all
contained in Tax Parcel Numbers 113730099 and 113730471.
General Location: North of Tierra Vida Lane
Property Size: 27.42 Acres
Number of Lots Proposed: 86 lots
Square Footage Range of Lots: 7,216 ft2 to 12,887 ft2
Average Lot Square Footage: 8,727 ft2
2. ACCESS: The property has access from Tierra Vida Drive and Ventura
Drive.
3. UTILITIES: Utilities exist in the original Tierra Vida to the south.
4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned R-1. Surrounding properties
are zoned and developed as follows:
NORTH: C-3- Vacant
SOUTH: R-1 - Residential
EAST: C-3 - Pasco Flea market
WEST RT & C-3 -Vacant land Auto Impound Yard
S. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan indicates the site is
intended for low-density residential development. 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
The proposed plat contains 27.42 acres of land that are currently zoned R-1
which permits the development of single-family homes. The parcel was
previously included within the preliminary plat for the original Tierra Vida
subdivision that received preliminary plat approval in early 2004. One hundred
and thirty-eight lots of the original 200 plus lot subdivision have been built.
The preliminary plat approval period has now expired requiring the developer
to submit a new preliminary plat for approval on the remaining lots to be
developed. The remaining undeveloped portion of the Tierra Vida development
contains 86 lots and a five acre park site. The original plat approval conditions
required the developer to fully construct the neighborhood park and equip it
with playground equipment prior to deeding it to the City. Because builders
within Tierra Vida did not pay the park impact fee the developer should
continue to be held to the requirement of completing the park improvements.
The original plat approval conditions also required the developer to install an 8 -
foot block wall along those areas of the plat that abutted more intense land
uses such as the auto wrecking yard and the Flea market. The walls were
deemed necessary to provide protection to the residents of the future homes
from the noise and unsightly conditions associated with the wrecking yard,
impound yard, Flea market and other heavy commercial/industrial activities
around the property.
The original Tierra Vida development was approved with Tierra Vida Lane
extending north to East Lewis Place providing a connection between East "A"
Street and East Lewis Place. After the construction of the first few phases of
the development residents in the new homes began experiences difficulties with
Flea market traffic parking in the neighborhood to access the Flea market. The
applicant recently met with staff on this matter and expressed concern about
opening the Tierra Vida neighborhood up to additional impacts of Flea market
traffic by connecting Tierra Vida Lane to East Lewis Place. The new entrance to
the Pasco Flea market is less than 400 feet from where Tierra Vida Lane would
connect to East Lewis Place. To maintain a third access point into subdivision
the City Engineer agreed that the Primavera Drive connection to Helena Street
would suffice. Helena Street is a platted street (unimproved currently) that
connects to Heritage Boulevard. As a part of the approval process for the
original Tierra Vida plat the developer was to connect Primavera Drive to "A"
Street by way of an unnamed street in the Washington Addition directly west of
the Tierra Vida subdivision. This connection was to be completed prior to the
final phase of the development. That condition should be retained for approval
of the current preliminary plat. The third connection to "A" street is needed
2
now because it will be a number of years before Helena Street will be built out
to Heritage Boulevard.
LOT LAYOUT: The proposed plat contains 86 lots; with the lots varying in
size from 7,216 to 12,887 square feet. The average lot size is 8,727 square feet.
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 feet 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
500 feet between hydrants on alternating sides 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. The Street with the name of Ventura Drive will need to be changed to
avoid a conflict with a street with a similar name elsewhere in the City.
IRRIGATION: The proposed plat is located in a part of the City that does not
have access to the City's irrigation system.
WATER RIGHTS: The assignment of water rights or a payment of a fee in lieu
thereof is a requirement for final plat approval per Pasco Municipal Code
Section 26.04.115(B) and Section 3.07.160. In this case there are no water
rights to deed to the City as a result the current fee will be required before a
final plat is approved.
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
3
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 8,727 square feet the
proposed development will address the overcrowding concern by providing
manageable lots and usable open spaces. R-1 zoning requires a 20 foot front
yard setback, five foot side yard setbacks and a rear yard equal to or greater
than the height of the house.
Parks Opens Space/Schools: The original preliminary plat for Tierra Vida was
approved with a 5 acre park site. That park site is within the boundaries of the
proposed Tierra Vida No. Two. The park will be improved by the developer with
the construction of the infrastructure for the plat. Two elementary schools
(Whittier & Robinson) are located within two miles from the site. Ochoa Middle
School is also just over two miles from the proposed plat. A third elementary
school to be located north of Highland Park is under construction. The
owner/developer of each lot will be required to pay the current park impact fee
at prior to receiving a building permit.
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.
Effective Land Use/Orderly Development: The plat is laid out for low-density
residential development consistent with the original preliminary plat. The
proposed plat layout provides for the orderly completion of the Tierra Vida
development.
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 sidewalks will be constructed to
current City standards and to the standards of the American's with Disabilities
Act (ADA). The ADA ramps at the corners of each intersection will be installed
with the construction of the road improvements.
Adequate Provision of Municipal Services: All lots within the plat will be
provided with water, sewer and other utilities.
Provision of Housing for State Residents: The proposed preliminary plat
contains 86 building lots, providing opportunities for the construction of 86new
homes for Pasco residents.
4
Adequate Air and Light: The maximum lot coverage limitation of 60 percent
and building setbacks will assure that adequate movement of air and light is
available to each lot.
Proper Access & Travel: The access streets 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 mixed -residential development. Policies of the Comprehensive
Plan suggest the City strive to maintain a variety of housing for residents.
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 residential development.
• The site was zoned R-1 in 2003.
• The site covered by the proposed preliminary plat was part of the original
Tierra Vida preliminary plat approved by the City in 2004.
• The approval period for the original Tierra Vida plat has expired.
• The original Tierra Vida preliminary plat contained a five acre
neighborhood park. That park site is located in the proposed preliminary
plat for Tierra Vida No. Two.
• The approval conditions for the original Tierra Vida plat required the
developer to fully develop the park site prior to deeding the park to the
City.
• 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.
• 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.
• Past correspondence from the Pasco School District indicates impact fees
address the requirement to ensure adequate provisions are made for
schools.
• There are no water rights associated with this plat therefor a payment in
lieu of dedication of water rights will be required to receive final plat
approval.
• No park impact fees will be required at the time of issuance of building
permits because the developer will be require build the park.
E
• Resolution No. 3078 requires subdivision boundary fences to be
constructed of architectural concrete block or of poured concrete panels.
• Portions of the proposed plat are located adjacent to the Pasco Flea
market and an auto impound yard used to store damaged and wrecked
vehicles. A portion of the proposed plat also borders an auto wrecking
yard.
• The original Tierra Vida plat was approved with a condition requiring 8 -
foot block walls adjacent to the Flea market property and the auto
impound and auto wrecking properties. The Flea market has expanded
since 2004 and the wrecking yard and impound yard are still in
operation.
• The Washington Addition is located directly to the west of the Tierra Vida
development and contains plat street right-of-way that may be utilized to
provide a third access point into the subdivision.
CONCLUSIONS BASED 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, Cascade Gas, Charter Cable and Ben -Franklin
Transit Authority for review and comment. The PUD requested easements along
the front of all lots for utility service.
Based on the School Districts Capital Facilities Plan the City collects school
mitigation fees for each new dwelling unit. The fee is paid at the time of
building permit issuance. The school impact fee addresses the requirements of
RCW 58.17.110.
The general welfare of the community and future residents of the proposed
subdivision would be served by ensuring a common boundary masonry fence
be installed along the northern, western and eastern boundary of the plat. This
common boundary fence will insulate the subdivision from the more intense,
noisy and unsightly activities on adjoining properties.
(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 and a neighborhood park.
(3) The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and
narrative text of the Comprehensive Plan;
The Comprehensive Plan land use map designates the site for low-density
residential development. Single-family homes are identified in the
Comprehensive Plan as a permitted land use in this location. 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-B 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
discussed 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
impact fees, park development and boundary fence construction) are included
in approval conditions.
(6) 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.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
12/18/14
C. Preliminary Plat Preliminary Plat -
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
David McDonald, City Planner, discussed the preliminary plat application for Tierra Vida,
Division 2. This application is to renew a plat that was approved in 2004, which has now
expired. The original plat was approved with slightly over 200 lots. The northern portion
of the original plat still needs to be completed. This area contains a neighborhood park
and about 86 lots. When the plat was originally viewed by the Planning Commission
there were several conditions that should be carried over to this approval. Mr. McDonald
briefly discussed the conditions.
Roger Bairstow, 1111 Fish Hook Road, Prescott, WA spoke on behalf of his application.
He supports the conditions and pointed out that the only change since the previously
approved preliminary plat is the modified entrance and exit to help with traffic and safety
concerns from the Pasco Flea Market.
With no further comments the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Kempf moved, seconded by Commissioner Portugal, to continue the public
hearing on the proposed preliminary plat to the January 15, 2015 meeting. The motion
passed unanimously.

C. Preliminary Plat Preliminary Plat - Tierra Vida Division No 2 (Roger
Bairstow) IMF# PP 2014-0051
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
David McDonald, City Planner, discussed the preliminary plat for Tierra Vida, Division No.
2. This was a continuation of the previous month's public hearing to allow more time for
public comment on the proposed plat. Tierra Vida was initially approved several years ago
and the preliminary plat approval has expired. The applicant wishes to renew the plat to
finish the project. The conditions attached to the staff report are similar to the conditions
contained in the first plat approval. Since the previous public hearing, there has been one
slight change to recommended condition #22, essentially making it consistent with
condition #21, relating to the development of additional streets outside of the boundary of
the plat. Those changes have been reviewed by the applicant and staff.
Adan Suarez, 3525 East "A" Street, spoke as a representative of Tierra Vida. He clarified
the revised condition, stating that the work will be completed in stages.
Commissioner Cruz asked if that is consistent the City's expectations.
Mr. McDonald responded that it does. The developer is looking to expand the residential
development to adjacent properties to the west, and if purchased, they will realign the
subdivision and there won't be a need for the road immediately to the west of the
subdivision. This is what condition #21 and condition #22 relate to in the staff report.
With no further comments the public hearing closed
Commissioner Greenaway moved, seconded by Commissioner Portugal, to adopt the
findings of fact and conclusions therefore contained in the January 15, 2015 staff report.
The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Greenaway moved, seconded by Commissioner Portugal, based on the
finding of fact and conclusions as adopted the Planning Commission recommend the City
Council approve the preliminary plat for Tierra Vida Division No. 2 with conditions as

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
NONE
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. When the Columbia East # 2 subdivision was developed in 1974 a utility
easement was established between Lots 6 and 7 to provide for a future utility
connection from Commercial Avenue to the west side of Highway 395. In 1993
Lots 6 and 7 were sold to Jim's Pacific Garage with a statement in the purchase
and sales agreement indicating the City would vacate the utility easement. A
replacement easement was provided on the southerly boundary of Lot 7 but the
original easement was never vacated. In 1993 the City issued a building permit
for the Jim's Pacific Garage building on top of the easement.
B. To correct the problem of a building being located on an easement the Council set
February 2, 2015 as the date for a hearing to consider vacating of the easement.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. The issue of a building being located on a utility easement was recently
discovered as the result of a permit application for another structure on the Jim's
Pacific Garage property. With the replacement easement (discussed in "A"
above) located completely on Lot 7 there is no longer a need for the original
easement.

HEARING DATE: 12/18/2014 907 Eagle Ridge Dr.
ACTION DATE: 1/15/2015 Danville, CA 94506
BACKGROUND
REQUEST: REZONE: Rezone from RT (Residential Transition) to C-1 (Retail
Business)
1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Leal: That portion of the SE 1/4 of Section 7, T 9 N, R 29 E, W. M.
laying northerly of Highway I-182, Except the right-of-way for
Harris Rd. and Broadmoor Blvd., together with the southerly
1,080 feet of the NE 1/4 of said Section 7.
General Location: Northwest corner of I-182 and Broadmoor Blvd.
Property Size: 145 acres.
2. ACCESS: The site is accessible from Harris Road and Broadmoor
Boulevard.
3. UTILITIES: Water and sewer lines are located at the intersection of
Sandifur Parkway and Broadmoor Boulevard. A water line is also located
in Harris Road. The Sewer Comprehensive Plan calls for a major sewer
trunk line to be located on the western boundary of the proposed rezone
site.
4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is currently zoned RT (Residential
Transition) and is vacant. Surrounding properties are zoned and
developed as follows:
NORTH: RT - Vacant
SOUTH: C-1 & R-4 - Vacant/ Broadmoor Apartments
EAST: C-1 - Delta High School/Motel/Offices
WEST: RT - Central Pre -Mix (American Rock) Gravel
Pit
5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates the site
for commercial development. Those portions of the community
designated for commercial development by the Comprehensive Plan could
be zone "O", C-1, C-2, C-3 CR and BP. Land Use Goal ED -2 encourages
the appropriate location and design of commercial facilities within the
City. ED -2-13 encourages the development of a wide range of commercial
1
uses strategically located to support local and regional needs. LU -4-A
suggests commercial facilities should be located near major street
intersection to leverage the use of major infrastructure and to reduce
commercial sprawl.
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 Mitigated
Determination of Non -Significance (DNS) has been issued for this project
under WAC 197-11-158.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is seeking to rezone his property from RT (Residential Transition)
to C-1 (Retail Business) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation
for the property. Under the current Comprehensive Plan land use designation
of commercial the property could be zoned for "O", C-1, C-2, C-3, CR, and BP
zoning (C-2 zoning is only for the Central Business District). The specific
zoning designation for the site is to be determined through the hearing process
taking into consideration the site location, general purposes of each zoning
district, street network and surrounding uses. The foregoing considerations
should be factored into the rezone review criteria required by PMC 25.88.030.
The site was originally annexed to the City in 1982 as part of the "Northwest
Annexation Area". The 1980 Comprehensive Plan designated property around
the future I-182/Road 100 Interchange for commercial land uses. A portion of
the Adams property was also set aside for future high density residential uses.
In the early 1990's following several hearings the Comprehensive Plan was
modified to increase the amount of commercial land at the northwest corner of
the I-182/Road 100 Interchange. In 2009 the Broadmoor Concept Plan again
increased the amount of land set aside for commercial development. About 145
acres of the Adams property is now designated for commercial uses. Upon
annexation in 1982 the Adams property was zoned RT. The RT zone is typically
used as a holding zoning for areas that lack utility services. As utilities and
infrastructure become available RT zoned properties are then zoned to match
the land use designations of the comprehensive Plan.
The site has remained undeveloped for the past 32 years. Broadmoor
Boulevard (Rd100) now extends north of the freeway to Dent Road. Utility lines
have been installed in surrounding streets and commercial and residential
development has occurred on the east side of Broadmoor Boulevard. Sandifur
Parkway and the Sandifur Parkway traffic signal were designed and
2
constructed to facilitate the extension of Sandifur Parkway to the west through
the center of the proposed rezone site.
The purpose of the C-1 District is to provide for commercial uses outside the
central business district that meet the retail shopping and service needs of the
community. Typically C-1 zoning permits the location of a variety of indoor
retail businesses including retail shops, offices and restaurants. Businesses
that have located along Road 68 provide a good example of the range of uses
permitted in the C-1 District. The C-1 District permits activities that are less
intense than uses permitted in the C-3 or C-R zones.
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 date the existing zone became effective:
The current zoning classification was established in 1982 when the property
was annexed to the City.
2. The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional
zoning:
The' site was originally zoned RT prior to the completion of the I-182 freeway.
Significant changes have taken place over the past 32 years that have positioned
the site for eventual commercial development. Road 100 has been extended
north from the freeway to Dent Road. Sandifur Parkway been constructed
connecting Road 100 to Road 68. Water and sewer utilities have been installed
near the site and a one million gallon water tank was constructed on Broadmoor
Boulevard in 1997. Three thousand five hundred dwelling units have been built
west of Road 68 on either side of I-182 in the past 14 years. The Road 100
Interchange was enlarged in 2009 to increase its carrying capacity. The property
has been included in seven land use or traffic studies that have identified or
consider the property in question as a site for future commercial development.
3. Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health,
safety and general welfare:
Rezoning the property will support past public and private efforts and
expenditures to position the property for commercial development. By expanding
opportunities for commercial development the city will be expanding employment
opportunities and the tax base thereby advancing the general welfare of the
community.
4. The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent property
and the Comprehensive Plan:
3
The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for commercial development. Policies
(ED -2-B) of the plan encourage the development of a wide range of commercial
uses strategically located within the community to support local and regional
needs. The site is centrally located within the region to encourage regional
commercial development Development of a regional type commercial facility on
the site may have a positive impact on surround properties in that it may be a
catalase for commercial development on adjacent properties. .
5. The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
Without the rezone the property will remain inconsistent with the land use
designations of the Comprehensive Plan and past planning efforts by both the
applicant and the City will be for naught.
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 vacant and has been since it was annexed to the City in 1982
farmed.
2. The site contains 145 acres.
3. The site is currently zoned RT (Residential Transition) and has been
since 1982.
4. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for commercial development.
5. The Growth Management Act requires zoning to be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
6. The commercial designation within the Comprehensive Plan could permit
the following types of commercial zoning: "O", C-1, C-2, C-3, CR and BP
(C-2 is limited to the Central Business District).
7. The rezone request is for C-1 (Retail Business) zoning.
8. C-1 zoning permits the development of a variety of indoor type retail
businesses, offices and restaurants.
9. The Adams property on the south side of I-182 is zoned C-1.
13
10. The Road 100 Interchange is located in the geographic center of the Tri -
Cities region.
11. In 2009 the I-182/Road 100 Interchange was enlarged to increase the
carrying capacity of the interchange.
12. Broadmoor Boulevard was extended north from the freeway to Dent Road
three years ago.
13. The property has been included in seven land use or traffic studies that
have identified or considered the property in question as a site for future
commercial development.
14. Sandifur Parkway and the Sandifur Parkway traffic signal were designed
and constructed to facilitate the extension of Sandifur Parkway to the
west through the center of the proposed rezone site.
15. In 1997 a one million gallon water tank was constructed on Broadmoor
Boulevard about 750 feet north of the proposed rezone site.
16. A 20 inch ductile iron water line was installed along the southern and
eastern boundary of the site in 1997.
17. In 2004 a sewer line was extended north in Broadmoor Boulevard from
Sandifur Parkway.
18. Three thousand five hundred dwelling units have been built west of Road
68 on either side of I-182 in the past 14 years.
19. Half a dozen new residential subdivision located on Dent Road and
Kohler Road, in the county, are now linked to Broadmoor Boulevard by
the newly constructed Burns Road.
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. The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and
several Plan policies and goals related to commercial development. Land Use
Goal ED -2 encourages the appropriate location and design of commercial
facilities within the City. ED -2-B encourages the development of a wide range of
commercial uses strategically Iocated to support local and regional needs. LU -4-A
suggests commercial facilities should be located near major street intersection to
leverage the use of major infrastructure and to reduce commercial sprawl. The
site is located between two major intersections, Sandifur Parkway and
Broadmoor Boulevard and the Road 100 Interchange.
2. The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially
detrimental.
Surrounding properties directly to the east of the site are zoned C-1 and are
developed with commercial uses. The proposed rezone will complement the
existing C-1 zoning in the neighborhood. Development of the site facilitated by the
proposed rezone may be beneficial to surrounding commercial properties in that
increased traffic and activity on the proposed site may encourage additional
commercial development of surrounding properties.
3. There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole
There is merit in developing vacant parcels within the City in accordance with the
goals and policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed zoning is
consistent with the Plan's Land Use Map. Encouraging the development of more
commercial facilities in the Road 100 area has merit as a whole for the increase
in employment opportunities it creates and increase in the tax base without a
corresponding increased need for public services as is the case with residential
development. There is also value in the proposal because it could encourage the
development of neighborhood shopping facilities that will benefit the several
thousand homes that have been built along the I-182 Corridor over the past 14
years.
4. Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant
adverse impacts from the proposal.
Safeguards all already built into the development regulations to address
mitigation if needed.
5. A Concomitant Agreement should be entered into between the City and
the petitioner, and if so, the terms and conditions of such an agreement.
A concomitant agreement is not needed.

(Retail Business) (Dale Adams) IMF# Z 2014-0091
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
David McDonald, City Planner discussed the rezone application from RT (Residential
Transition) to C-1 (Retail Business). The site is located on a large parcel generally east of
the Central Pre -Mix gravel pit and west of Broadmoor Boulevard and consists of roughly
145 acres. The site was annexed into the City in 1982, prior to the construction of the I-
182 freeway. The Growth Management Act requires communities to zone properties
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Comprehensive Plan designates this land
for Commercial development. For many years through the Comprehensive Plan process,
the Planning Commission, City Council and Staff have encouraged C-1 (Retail Business)
and "O" (Office) types of zoning to occur in this area, as heavier Commercial activities
would not be compatible in this location. Staff recommends this site to be zoned C-1
(Retail Business). Mr. McDonald discussed changed conditions in the neighborhood near
this site, such as; 3,500 homes, water and sewer lines extentions near the property, Road
100 and Broadmoor Boulevard extends up to Dent Road to the north and also Burns
Road. The changes in the neighborhood and new development support a change in zoning
to C-1.
With no comments the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Kempf moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenway, to close the hearing
on the proposed rezone and initiate deliberations and schedule adoption of findings of fact,
conclusions and a recommendation to the City Council for the January 15, 2015 meeting.
The motion passed unanimously.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
MASTER FILE NO: Z 2014-008 APPLICANT: Bernardo Cuevas Jr.
HEARING DATE: 12/18/2014 1124 W. Margaret St.
ACTION DATE: 1/15/2015 Pasco, WA 99301
BACKGROUND
REQUEST: REZONE: Rezone from C-1 (Retail Business) to R-3 (Medium -
Density Residential)
1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Legal. Parcel # 119-351-149: The east 218 feet of the south 340 feet of the
southeast quarter of the southwest quarter of the northeast quarter Section
25, Township 9 North, Range 29 East
General Location: 710 N 24th Avenue
Property Size: The parcel is approximately 1.7 acres
2. ACCESS: The site is accessed from 24th Avenue.
3. UTILITIES: The site is currently served by municipal sewer and water
services. Municipal sewer and water mains are located in both Sylvester
Street and 24th Avenue adjacent to the site.
4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is currently zoned C-1 (Retail Business)
and contains a single-family home. Surrounding properties are zoned and
developed as follows:
NORTH:
R-2
- Single -Family & Multi -Family Residences
SOUTH:
R-4
- Multi -Family Residences
EAST:
R-4
- Multi -Family Residences
WEST:
C-1
- Commercial
5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for
Mixed Residential uses. Goal LU -3-B encourages infill and (higher) density
to protect open space and critical areas in support of more walkable
neighborhoods. Goal LU -3-E encourages the city to designate area for higher
density residential development where utilities and transportation facilities
enable efficient use of capital resources.
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
Bernardo Cuevas Jr. has applied to change the zoning designation of 710 N. 24th
Avenue from C-1 (Retail Business) to R-3 (Medium -Density Residential) to allow for
multi -family residential development. The subject site is approximately 1.7 acres
in area; located on the northwest corner of the intersection of 24th Avenue and W.
Sylvester Street.
The City's Comprehensive Plan designates this site for Mixed Residential land uses
which allows for a variety of residential zones/densities ranging from RS -20
(Suburban) through R-3. Of the allowable zones under the Mixed Residential
designation, the R-3 zone permits the highest residential density at a rate of one
dwelling unit for every 3,OOOft2 of land area or 14.5 units per acre. For
comparison, the single-family R-1 zone permits an approximate density of 6 -units
per acre.
This site is underdeveloped; containing a 958 square -foot single-family home and
two detached garages totaling 1,341 ft2 in floor area. The southeast corner of the
site is landscaped typical of a residential front yard, while the northern 2/3 of the
site remains covered with dry weeds. Curbs, gutters and sidewalks currently exist
along all right-of-way frontages.
Currently the site totals 74,120 ft2 in area with property lines shown extending to
the centerlines of W. Sylvester St. and 24th Ave. The necessary right-of-way has not
been dedicated for either of these roadways. Before a building permit will be issued
the property owner will be required to dedicate the land needed for public right-of-
way. The dedication will reduce the land area used to calculate the allowable
number of dwelling units from 74,120 W (1.7 ac.) to 59,830 ft2 (1.37 ac.). The
resulting parcel will allow between 19 and 25 units depending on whether or not
the applicant wishes to qualify for a density bonus pursuant to PMC 25.68.
It is common urban planning practice to assign higher -density residential zones to
high impact areas such as land bordering arterial roadways; West Sylvester Street
is an arterial roadway. The vicinity is also characterized by a variety of retail
businesses and apartments and other multi -family residential developments.
There is merit in promoting site development consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.
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 date the existing zone became effective:
The current zoning classification was established over 35 -years ago.
2. The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional
zoning:
2
Over the years adjacent parcels to the east and south have been developed with a
variety of multi family residential housing projects aimed mostly at providing
housing opportunities for low to moderate income families.
One important changed condition is Council's adoption of the City's Comprehensive
Plan which occurred after the C-1 zone was assigned to the site. A change in zoning
classification to R-3 is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with
existing land uses in the vicinity.
3. Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health,
safety and general welfare:
Changing the zoning classification of the site will foster development of a largely
underdeveloped parcel of land bordering a major arterial roadway. There is merit in
the elimination of an underdeveloped site fronting a major arterial roadway as it
may bolster further development in the neighborhood.
4. The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent property
and the Comprehensive Plan:
A change in zoning classification resulting in a multi family residential development
will enhance the residential character of the vicinity by providing an increased
number of housing opportunities. The rezone from C-1 to R-3 will encourage "infill
and density including planned unit developments to protect open space and critical
areas," as per Land Use Policy LU -3-B, and allow for "higher -density residential
development where utilities and transportation facilities enable efficient use of
capital resources," in keeping with Land Use Policy LU -3-E. This rezone would still
align with that intended goal and also "allow for a full range of residential
environments including single family homes, townhouses, condominiums,
apartments, and manufactured housing," consistent with Housing Policy H -2-A.
5. The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
Without transitioning the site to a residential zoning classification residential
development will not occur on the property. The applicant may not wish to proceed
with any site development if it cannot be residential in nature. The presence of the
single-family dwelling within the C-1 zoning designation likely prevents most
financial lenders from approving loans for residential purposes on this property.
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 currently zoned C-1 (Retail Business).
2. The site contains a home and two accessory structures.
3. The site has been used residentially for the past 30 -years or more.
4. The applicant is requesting R-3 (Medium -Density Residential) zoning be
assigned to the site to allow for multi -family residential development.
5. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site and much of the vicinity for
Mixed -Residential uses which allows assignment of a range of residential
zones including R-3 (Medium -Density Residential).
6. The R-3 zone allows a maximum residential density rate of 1 dwelling unit
for every 3,000 square feet of land area.
7. The site is approximately 1.7 acres in area.
8. The south and east property lines currently extend to the adjacent road
centerlines; malting right-of-way dedication a prerequisite for building
permit issuance.
9. Municipal sewer and water currently serve the site from within 24th Avenue
and West Sylvester Street.
10. The site to the west is zoned R-4 (High -Density Residential) and contains a,
multi -family residential development.
11. Parcels to the north are zoned R-2 (Medium -Density Residential) and
contain 4-plex residential dwelling units.
12. Rowena Chess Elementary School is located nearly directly across 24th
Avenue to the northeast of the property.
CONCLUSIONS BASED ON STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a zoning amendment the Planning
Commission must develop findings of fact from which to draw its conclusions
based upon the criteria listed in PMC 25.88.060. The criteria are as follows:
1. The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and several
Plan policies and goals. Land Use Policy LU -3-B encourages "infill" development
while H -2 -A suggests the City permit a full range of residential environments.
Housing Policy (H -B -A) encourages standards that control the scale and density of
accessory buildings and homes to maintain compatibility with other residential uses.
The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially
detrimental.
The proposed R-3 zoning will permit site development similar of a lesser density
than the residential developments to the south and to the east. Based on past
experience with rezoning and development of vacant land adjacent to existing single -
0
family and multi family developments, and evidence provided by tax records of
Franklin County, the proposed rezone will not be materially detrimental to the value
of properties within immediate vicinity.
2. There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.
Establishment of zoning and development on the subject site will further establish
the multi family character matching much of the vicinity. Similar developments in the
area have consistently experienced high rates of occupancy. From this we can infer
that there is a need in the community for affordable multi family housing
opportunities.
There is merit in providing an increased range of housing opportunities available in
those areas currently served by municipal utilities and public transportation and will
enable efficient use of capital resources. The proposal is supported by land use goals
and policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
3. Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse
impacts from the proposal.
No special conditions are proposed.
4. A Concomitant Agreement should be entered into between the City and the
petitioner, and if so, the terms and conditions of such an agreement.
A concomitant agreement is not needed.
RECOMMENDATION
MOTION for Findings of Fact:
I move to adopt findings of fact and conclusions therefrom as contained
in the January 15, 2015 staff report.
MOTION for Recommendation:
I move based on the findings of fact and conclusions as adopted the
Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve the rezone
from C-1 to R-3 for 710 N 24th Avenue.

Jr.) (MF# Z 2014-0081
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from
staff.
Shane O'Neill, Planner I, discussed the rezone application from C-1 (Retail
Business) to R-3 (Medium Density Residential). The site is located at the
northwest corner of Sylvester and 24th, is served by sewer and water and is
occupied with a single-family dwelling. Most of the site is vacant and
unimproved. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for mixed residential
uses, which allows for the assignment of the requested R-3 zoning. The R-3
zone is a residential district that would allow for multi -family development,
such as, duplexes and four-plexes. The staff report contains review criteria for
consideration of the rezone application.
Bernardo Cuevas Jr., 1134 W. Margaret Street, spoke on behalf of his rezone
application. He had no comments to add to the staff report.
Monte La Dow, 2643 S. Kellogg Street, spoke in support of the rezone
application. He intends to sell the site to the applicant and supports his
vision.
With no further comments the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Khan moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to close
the hearing on the proposed rezone and initiate deliberations and schedule
adoption of findings of fact, conclusions and a recommendation to the City
Council for the January 15, 2015 meeting. The motion passed unanimously.
