CITY PLANNING COMMISSION: A letter from Lyle Balderson, City Planning Commission, was read as follows: "In September of this year, the Woman's Committee of the Chamber of Commerce submitted to the Planning Commission for their study and recommendation, a proposed tree ordinance for Pasco. The Planning Commission undertook a study of the proposed ordinance and at their regular meeting held on October 13, 1966, a motion was passed to recommend to your honorable body the adoption of the proposed tree ordinance for the City of Pasco. The Ordinance as presented broadens and updates the existing street tree ordinance and is aimed towards the preservation and development of trees and other plantings to help beautify the City of Pasco. Also, as indicated in their cover letter to the Council, the Women's Committee recommended the preparation of a Master Street Plan. The Planning Commission has not undertaken a study of that proposal at this time, and therefore, no action has been taken on the matter." This item of business will be discussed further at Workshop Session. CITY PLANNING COMMISSION: A letter from Lyle Balderson, City Planning Commission, was read with their recommendations for the most appropriate use of the area south of "A" Street between Tenth Avenue and the Northern Pacific Railway spur line. 1. Due to its location, the area is an enclave surrounded by both major arterials and railroad tracks, all of which tend to attract commercial developments and repel residential development; 2. The recent concentration of several heavy commercial uses in the area tends to further repel residential development; 3. The inability to get financing in this area for residential construction indicates that residential dwelling units will not be constructed or remodeled; and 4. This area is so situated relative to transportation routes and industrial districts that more commercial uses will tend to develop in the future. This item of business will be discussed further at Workshop Session. CITY PLANNING COMMISSION: A letter from Lyle Balderson, City Planning Commission, was read with t eir recommendations for the most appropriate use of the area southeast of Tenth and Lewis Street. It was the opinion of the Planning Commission that the most appropriate use at this time for the area would be light commercial. While the Planning Commission is concerned with the "Upgrading" of the site, it felt that to rezone the area to an industrial zoning to allow present use to continue operation or some other industrial use to utilize this site might have adverse consequences in the future, which would not be off -set at this time with the proposed upgrading of the area. This item of business will be discussed further at Workshop Session. 1 J PASCO, WASHINGTON COUNCIL CHAMBERS REGULAR MEETING SUGGESTIONS FROM COUNCIL - GENERAL DISCUSSION: 259 OCTOBER 18, 1966 COMMITTEE FOR COMMUNITY BETTERMENT: A letter signed by Mort Frayn, Finance Chairman, for Committee for Community Betterment was read acknowledging contributions by City employees, Mayor and Council in support of Initiative 226.
