25, T9N, RANGE 29 EWM, EXCEPT ROAD, FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL I-1 TO HIGH DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL R-3: (Lawson)
It was reported that the hearing had been duly published and posted. There were
no adverse communications. A letter was read from City Planning Commission,
recommending approval of requested zone change.
Mr. Dennis Sweeney favored proposed zone change as he felt mobile home development
is needed due to influx of people into the area. He stated there would be six or
seven mobile home units in this area.
Mr. Earl Warren stated that he had led original opposition to Mr. Lawson's zone
change; however, aftdr talking it over with Mr. Lawson, he was withdrawing his
protest to zone change.
Mr. Tidrick requested that Mr. Rea read Petition for Zoning Reclassification into
the record for reference. It was read as follows:
"The requested zone change would allow the property to,be developed into
approximately six residential lots for mobile homes. Ten years ago, the
City expected industrial development in the area south of Lewis and west
of 20th. This has not happened and industry has moved to the NE part of
town. All development in the area for the last five years has been for
non-indu.strial use.. Most of the.development.in the area has been for
mobile home use. The City has already granted a similar change for the
land joining my property on the east (Eagle Estates). The proposed change
will tend to protect the property on the East because it is already zoned
residential and the neighbors will not have to worry about having the noise
of an industry development. The property on the north is used as a single
family residence and on the west, itis being used for a single family
residence and pasture. I see no conflict in land use. The City has already
changed the comprehensive plan by allowing two mobile home developments
in the area and my proposal is a continuation of.that trend.
If the request is not granted, I will nOt be able to live on my own property
and will have to develop it for industrial use and worry about the
neighbor's complaining about the noise and traffic."
Mr. Tidrick asked, "are these lots for rental property and not sub -division plots
for sale?" The reply was affirmative. Mr.. Lawson replied that it was his intent
to live on property.
park
Mr. Schor stated that he was confused on mobile parks vs. mobile sub -divisions.
Mr. Rea replied that the major difference was the ownership of land. In a mobile
park sub -division, you buy.your lot.
Mrs Joe Williams, Mr. Horn, Mr. George Clark and Mr. Van Dorn all supported Mr.
Lawson's request for zone change..
Following three (3) calls from Mayor Linton for further comments from the floor,
either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed.

Motel. '
Mr. Lee Stevens, proposer, opposed recommendation..of Planning Commission as the
property is not being used'at'the*present time for anything. I -t was his intent
to build 6' high cyclone fence around it and use the area for storing recreational
vehicles.
Mr. Adams asked if this request was in conformance with comprehensive plan. Mr. Rea
replied that Mr. Stevens'.request is basically; a warehouse type. To this, Mr. Wilkins
stated that he didn't want a cyclone fence on East Lewis,Street., Mr. Wilbur Skinner
also agreed with this opposition. '
Mr. Tidrick asked what our comprehensive plan was.' Mr. Rea replied'that it was a
development plan for the City of Pasco and is used as a guideline for better growth
and use.

'Fre from 64 x 120 to 60 x 120. '

to play. This particular plat did not provide such an area. To this, Mr. Tidrick
responded ,that he recollected staff had requested the City to do away with small mini -
park type areas due to the maintenance problem. Mr. Wilkins also agreed with this
concept because he has been trying to get the weeds burned off the park behind his
house for some time. ' '
Mr. Thomsen asked if apartment complexes were required to provide play areas. Mr.
Rea replied negative. Mr. Thomsen then stated, "I can see no difference."

they wanted the power underground, .if there weres.service lines from those power
lines being undergrounded, then the property owner would be required to underground
