He cited several businesses which had tried to make a success in questioned location, but failed. MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING APRIL 16,1979 Mr. Jim Ajax, City Engineer, reiterated that past councils had maintained a C-1 corridor along West Lewis Street and, in fact, there had been several zone changes turned down along that street because it was not compatible with C-1 zoning.

His request is to rezone the east 33' strip so that it will be in conformance with property to the east and south. Mr. James Ajax enlightened the council on lot size requirements and potential problems should area 'in question ever be short platted. Mr. Siegel replied that - .... e,,was asking for a zone. -change, not short plat: •.. 4i. Mr: Grigg defended staff by stating that it was Mr. Ajax's responsibility to make the council aware of any potential problem.

Following three (3) calls from Mayor Bailie for further comments from the floor, •1.:�=_: "ei-ther for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed. MAYOR BAILIE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 22.40, 22.44, and 22.48 OF THE PASCO MUNICIPAL CODE BY PRESCRIBING NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN SAID DISTRICTS UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION: -- It was reported that the hearing had been duly published and posted. There were -no adverse communications. The following comment was received from City Planner. "The Pasco Zoning Ordinance has traditionally permitted the construction of apartments in commercial zones; consequently, several land areas of commercial viability has been disrupted or inhibited by residential developments. The deterrent to commercial development of these land areas results in less than efficient use of land (finite resource) and the creation of often less than desirable residential environments. The effect to the public in terms of revenues (from commercial development) and cost (provision of residential services in commercial areas) is obvious. The Council has directed that a new Comprehensive Plan be developed and proposed by the Planning Commission before the end of the calendar year. In order to prevent undesirable committment of potentially viable commercial land resources prior to completion of the new plan, the Zoning Ordinance should be modified to require City Council review of such proposals. It will provide a mechanism by which the City Council can, on an individual basis, consider the merits of proposed residential developments on land currently zoned for commercial use." Mr. James Siegel commented that he had no problem with Ordinance, as written. Following three (3) calls from Mayor Bailie for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed. MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PUBLIC HEARINGS - Continued: APRIL 16, 1979 MAYOR BAILIE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO COt.]SIDER PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION TO AMEND CHAPTER 22.84 OF THE PASCO CITY CODE BY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES REQUIRED FOR 1 -BEDROOM APARTMENTS AND TO PROVIDE AN ALLOWANCE FOR COMPACT PARKING SPACES: It was reported that the hearing had been duly published and posted. There were no adverse communications. The following comment was noted from the Planning Commission: The Planning Commission, in response to suggestions by a Commissioner, directed the Planner to investigate three proposed amendments to the off-street parking requirements. The Planner's report was submitted to and considered by the Planning Commission on March 22, 1979. Following considerable discussion regarding 1 --bedroom apartments, the Commission voted 4-3 to recommend reduction from 2 spaces to 1.5 spaces, the number of spaces required for 1 -bedroom apartments. The Commission also voted (unanimously) to recommend provisiop be made for compact car parking spaces. Councilman Hilkins disagreed with propos d amendment because people often times have at least two cars, and possibly a boat or RV vechicle, Mr. James Siegel favored the reduced parking requirement as "realistic" for efficiency units,and cited the need for compact cars parking. Mr. Harry Moore concurred with everything presented because, in his opinion, the outside was just as important as the inside and provisions should be made for recreational vehicles because there were more all the time. Following three (3) calls from Mayor Bailie for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the Public -Hearing was declared closed. MAYOR BAILIE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSIDERING THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION ON THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF MANSION ESTATES: It was -noted that the Hearing had been duly published and posted. There were no adverse communications. The .area in question is described as a 4 1/2 acre parcel west of Blue Bridge approach, annexed to the City in August,'1978. At that time,.the'R-1 zoning district was.assigned. Thus, the minimum lot size required is 7200 square feet. The proposed plat would divide the 4.66 acre tOact into 17 lots, averaging about 8300 square feet. The plat is proposed to be served by a southerly roadway extension, called Road 33. In reviewing the proposed plat, it became apparent that the property lying -� — immediately west would become land -locked if adequate provisions were not made ._ in the proposed plat. Following discussions with both property owners, a Resolution to the problem has been identified as recommended in the Planners Report to the Planning Commission. Following three (3) calls from Mayor Bailie for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed.
