III. FISCAL IMPACT: None IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Broadmoor Park No. 1 platted in 1967 contained a 10 foot utility easement along its southern boundary. When a portion of Broadmoor Park No. 1 was replatted as Broadmoor Terrace (12/9/15) this 10 foot easement carried over to the new plat. The easement was not identified by the surveyor in time to have it vacated prior to the recording of Broadmoor Terrace Phase 1. Although the easement provides no obstacle for the placement of homes on lots it could cause difficulties for the placement of storage sheds in rear yards. The developer of Broadmoor Terrace has petitioned for the vacation of the easement. Page 13 of 141 The petition requires the City Council to fix a public hearing to consider the vacation request. The earliest regular City Council meeting available for a public hearing, which provides the statutory 20 -day hearing notice, is February 1, 2016. V.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. , setting 7:00 P.M., Monday, February 1, 2016, as the time and date to conduct a public hearing to consider vacating the 20 -foot sanitary sewer easement along the southern boundary of the First Place subdivision as recorded under Auditors File Number 1626377. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: In 2004 the City installed a major sewer trunk line extending north from Argent Road to Burden Boulevard through farm fields that had not yet been developed. A sanitary sewer easement was established for the benefit of the sewer line. Those fields are now developed with the First Place subdivision and the Linda Loviisa subdivision. The sewer line through Linda Loviisa falls conveniently under Madison Avenue. However, a portion of the trunk line within First Place could not be accommodated within a street and as a result there is now a sewer easement through a number of lots. One lot has been rendered unbuildable due to the easement. Page 19 of 141 As First Place was being built the developer relocated the trunk line along the southern boundary of the plat to Tamarisk Drive. The sewer line in the easement has been disconnected from the system and abandoned. The easement is no longer needed for the abandoned sewer line. Requests for the vacation of right-of-way or easements can be initiated by a petition from property owners or by the City Council. In this case staff is recommending the Council initiate the vacation process. V.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. , accepting a Notice of Intent to commence annexation proceedings for the Thorne Annexation, providing a determination on the boundary to be annexed and whether simultaneous zoning and the assumption of bonded indebtedness will be required. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Marele and Denis Thorne, owners of a parcel of land in the 3400 block of Road 68 through R & D Partnership, have filed a Notice of Intent to commence the process of annexing to the City. The Notice of Intent has been reviewed by staff, and has been determined to contain sufficient signatures to initiate the annexation process. Notices of Intent are required to contain the signatures of property owners representing at least 10 percent of the assessed value of an area proposed for annexation. In this case, the Notice of Intent contains the signatures of 100 percent of the ownership within the proposed annexation Page 25 of 141 area. V. DISCUSSION: The petition method of annexation requires the Council to set a date for a public meeting within sixty days of receipt of a Notice of Intent to begin annexation proceedings. Public meetings to consider Notices of Intent to Annex have either been placed on a regular Council Agenda by staff or through a motion of the City Council. This annexation is part of a larger project involving an adjoining parcel within the City. Due to issues related to extending utility services under the FCID canal time is of the essence. Rather than possibly delaying the project staff has placed this item on the agenda for consideration in a public meeting. The petition method of annexation requires the Council to address the following items upon receipt of a Notice of Intent to begin the annexation: 1. Whether the City will accept or require modification of the proposed annexation area; 2. Whether the City will require simultaneous adoption of zoning; and, 3. Whether the City will require the property to assume all or a portion of existing City indebtedness. The proposed resolution has been prepared following past practices of accepting the proposed annexation area without requiring simultaneous zoning or the assumption of bonded indebtedness. Zoning will be established following property owner notification and a public hearing held (by the Planning Commission) separately from a Council hearing on the future annexation.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: That portion of the northeast 1/4 of the southeast 1/4 of Section 17, Township 9 North, Range 29 East WM, Franklin County, Washington; lying southerly of the FCID canal and easterly of Sunset Manor and Chiawana Estates; northerly of the easterly extension of Sterling Road and less Lot 2 of Short Plat 2009-19. General Location: 3600 Block of Road 84 Property 13.64 Acres Number of Lot/ s Proposed: 22 single-family residential lots Square Footage Range of Lots: 20,042 ft2 to 54,110 ft2 Average Lot Square Footage: 24,150 ft2 2. ACCESS: The property is accessible from Road 84. 3. UTILITIES: A municipal water line currently extends the length of the property in Road 84. Municipal sewer lines currently terminate in Road 84 near the southeast corner of the site and another sewer line traverses Road 84 approximately 130 feet north of the irrigation canal. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned RS -20 (Suburban). Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: NORTH: RS -20 - Single -Family Residences SOUTH: RS -20 - Single -Family Residences and Church Educational Facility EAST: RS -20 - Mobile Home Park and High School WEST: RS -20 - Single -Family Residences 5. 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. Page 43 of 141 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 encompasses 13.64 acres of land and contains 22 single- family residential lots. This property was incorporated into the City in 2015 with the most recent "Road 80 Annexation". During the annexation process RS -20 (Suburban) zoning was applied to the subject site without any additional zoning restrictions. The RS -20 zone permits single-family homes on lots no less than 20,000 square feet in area. Minimum setbacks for homes are as follows: front = 25', sides = 10' and rear = 25'. The maximum permitted height of homes is thirty five (35) feet. The site is designated in the Comprehensive Plan for low-density residential development which provides the option to develop single-family homes. The overall density and average lot size between the proposed subdivision and Chiawana Estates residential subdivision to the west are similar. The site currently contains three single-family homes with a variety of accessory structures. For many years the homes have been accessed via the dirt FCID irrigation canal access road. Lots 1, 2 & 3 have each been designed to contain said homes. In the proposed plat, Lot 1 will have road frontage on Maple Drive to the west and Lots 2 & 3 will be accessible from the new, centrally located, cul-de-sac. LOT LAYOUT: The proposed plat contains 22 residential lots; with the lots varying in size from 20,042 to 54,110 square feet. The average lot size is 24,150 square feet. RIGHTS-OF-WAY: New public rights-of-way to be dedicated with the plat include a north/ south oriented cul-de-sac through the center of the site and an east/west oriented road connecting Sterling Road to Road 84. The cul-de-sac will extend north from Sterling Road for an approximate distance of 619 -feet; slightly extending west at the terminus. Seventeen (17) lots will be accessed from the cul-de-sac. The cul-de-sac bulb will be noted as temporary on the final plat for future dissolution. Right-of-way will be dedicated extending from the bulb and connecting to Maple Drive to the west. At such time the existing shop building on Lot 1 is eliminated the temporary cul-de-sac shall be 2 Page 44 of 141 dissolved and right-of-way improvements for that portion of Maple Drive be completed. In ideal circumstances Maple Drive would extend from the westerly edge of the proposed plat to Road 84. This extension would provide needed looping of the water system and improve traffic circulation in and through the neighborhood and would also provide some benefits to the surrounding neighborhood by improving emergency vehicle access. Unfortunately the County allowed one of the property owners to build a large shop accessory structure at the end of Maple Drive blocking the easterly extension of Maple Drive. Since the initial public hearing the cul-de-sac bulb has been reconfigured to provide right-of-way frontage to Lot 1. UTILITIES: Currently, a municipal water line is located in Road 84 extending the entire length of the parcel. The municipal sewer line located in Road 84 terminates near the south end of the site. The developer will be responsible for extending utilities into the plat. Due to the proximity of the site to existing sewer lines it will be a requirement for municipal sewer to be extended into the site to service each lot. Lots 1, 2 8v 3 will not be required to connect to municipal sewer until such time that existing septic systems fail. 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 buildable portions of the lots. Additionally, Franklin County Public Utility District requires ten (10) foot wide utility easements along the north property line of lots 5, 14 & 16. 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 not required in RS -20 zoning districts. STREET NAMES: Site development will connect Sterling Road along the south line of the plat. Sterling Road currently terminates into southwest corner of the site. One additional public road extending north from Sterling Road will be created in the form of a cul-de-sac approximately 588 -feet in length. A name for the court will be assigned during the final platting process. IRRIGATION: The municipal code requires installation of irrigation lines as a part of infrastructure improvements. Franklin County Irrigation District (FCID) provided comments on the plat related to the use of irrigation water from the canal to the north. FCID will require all new lots to have separate irrigation services and piping installed to each new lot, except lot 1 which will be served from the main in Maple Drive. Servicing the development will require the irrigation main in Road 84 to be tapped in five locations. Associated FCID 3 Page 45 of 141 easements will be required on the final plat. Upon completion of development and prior to final acceptance by FCID, all fees must be paid and all as -built drawings shall be presented to the District for acceptance. WATER RIGHTS: The assignment of water rights is a requirement for subdivision approval per Pasco Municipal Code Section 26.04.115(B) and Section 3.07.160. If no water rights are available to transfer to the City the property owner/ developer must pay a water right fee in lieu thereof. The Public Works Director may waive the fee if the developer mixes a soil additive in the ground that provides 30% retention of irrigation water. 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 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 24,150 square feet the proposed development will address the overcrowding concern by providing manageable lots and usable open spaces. RS -20 zoning requires a 25 -foot front yard setback, ten -foot side yard setbacks and a 25 -foot rear yard setback. Of all residential zones in Pasco the RS -20 zone provides for the most open space between homes and roads. Parks Opens Space/Schools: The proposed plat is located within a one mile from Chiawana Park on the Columbia River. The subject site lies within one half of one mile from Liberty Park in the Loviisa Farms residential subdivision. The developer will be required to pay the current park fee prior to receiving building permits. The developer will be required to pay the current school impact fee prior to receiving building permits for homes. 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. A school impact fee in the amount of $4,700 will be charged for each new home at the time of building permit issuance. Effective Land Use/Orderly Development: The plat is laid out for suburban low-density residential development consistent with surrounding residential development. Platting is configured around three existing homes to the north which create slight irregularities but development proposed within the plat area 4 Page 46 of 141 will be of a more orderly fashion; conforming to the City's current development standards to promote orderly growth. Safe Travel & Walking Conditions: The plat will connect to the community through the existing network of streets initially via Road 84. Sidewalks are typically not a required right-of-way development component in Pasco's suburban zones. However, it has been a long standing policy to ensure sidewalks are included with developments near and around school. Road 84 is a school route that connects the Linda Loviisa subdivision with Chiawana High and the two schools south of Argent Road. The LDS Seminary Building on the west side of Road 84 has already constructed 260 feet of sidewalk and installed the curb and gutter across the frontage of the proposed plat. Sidewalks will need to be added along the frontage of each lot (4 through 8) as homes are built. The Roadway improvements into the plat will consist of an asphalt driving surface and roadside stormwater collection/ diversion depressions. Adequate Provision of Municipal Services: All lots within the plat will be provided with water service. All new lots will be served by sewer with the exception of lots 1, 2 & 3 which will remain on their existing septic systems. Provision of Housing for State Residents: The proposed preliminary plat contains 22 building lots, providing opportunities for the construction of 19 new homes for Pasco residents. Three homes exist on the site which will be contained within three separate lots (Lots 1, 2 & 3). Adequate Air and Light: The maximum lot coverage limitation of 40 percent and building setbacks will assure 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 indicates the site is designated for low-density single-family 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 low-density residential development • The site is currently zoned RS -20 (Suburban). 5 Page 47 of 141 • The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the development of a variety of residential densities and housing types. • The current traffic impact fee is $709 per dwelling unit. The impact fees are collected at the time permits are issued and said fees are used to make traffic improvements and add traffic signals in the I-182 Corridor when warranted. • 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. 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 (PMC 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 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 C Page 48 of 141 building permit issuance. The school impact fee addresses the requirements of RCW 58.17.110. (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 within the City. (3) The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and narrative text of the Comprehensive Plan; The Comprehensive Plan land use map designates much of the site low-density residential development. Single-family homes are identified as one of the permitted residential uses within the low-density residential designation. 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 and park development) 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. Page 49 of 141 PLAT APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1.

Preliminary Plat Preliminary Plat for Ellie Estates (Llya Parkhotyuk) (MF# PP 2015-003) - Continued Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Shane O'Neill, Planner I, discussed the application for a preliminary plat for Ellie Estates. This item was continued from the previous meeting due to substantial revisions to the plat and is virtually a new plat. The proposed plat consists of 22 lots, zoned Residential Suburban (RS -20) with the average lot size of 24,150 square feet. The property was recently annexed into the City in July 2015. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as low-density residential development. The site currently contains three single-family homes and accessory structures. Those three homes will be contained on lots 1, 2 and 3 of the proposed plat. One new cul-de-sac will be extended to the end of the site and 16 of the proposed lots will be accessed by the cul-de-sac. To the south the plat will accomplish the connection of Sterling Road. At the northwest corner of the property Maple Drive terminates. The continuation of Maple Drive is obstructed by an existing shop which was permitted in the County. The Planning Commission may wish to discuss the possibility of a turnaround at the end of Maple Drive. Originally septic systems were proposed but now the properties will be connected to sewer. The sewer line is located at Road 84 and the sewer line will be extended as well as water to the plat with the exceptions of existing lots 1, 2 and 3 who will remain on their existing septic systems until those systems fail, at which time they will be required to connect. There are a list of tentative approval conditions contained in the staff report that are fairly standard. There is a Franklin County Irrigation easement running through the site and the applicant will have to work with the Franklin PUD between now and the final plat. Chairman Cruz asked how the property owners of Lot 1 would access their property. Mr. O'Neill responded that there is a dirt access road that runs along the side of the irrigation canal and would be the primary access for the three homes. Dave McDonald, City Planner, added that the original plat submitted with their application was configured differently but with the addition of required sewer to the proposed lots the Irrigation District asked that alternate means of access for those three lots in case in the future they decide to revoke the access agreement with those three homes they would be able to access off of the cul-de-sac. The homeowners of the three lots currently have an agreement with the Irrigation District to use the right-of-way to get to their homes but the Irrigation District could take that access away in the future. Chairman Cruz responded that it is a dangerous proposition for anyone considering buying Lot 1. He was unsure how a turnaround could be placed at Maple Drive with the existing shop and a lot platted to the north and south. Mr. McDonald answered that is correct. There are other lots and streets that the City Page 56 of 141 has inherited or will inherit that dead-end with a home at the end like in this case. This problem was inherited from the County since they permitted a shop to be built where the road should have been extended. Chairman Cruz suggested the shop to stay for the time being but Lot 15 needs to be the continuation of Maple Drive. Mr. McDonald asked for clarification if the plat would show the right-of-way but not require it to be built at this time. Chairman Cruz answered that is one possibility. He doesn't want to see the Irrigation District taking away access, rendering Lot 1 useless. Another option could be to merge two of the lots just as long as there is guaranteed access. Commissioner Bachart discussed possible fencing issues on the cul-de-sac. Mr. McDonald clarified that the front yards would be facing the cul-de-sac so any fencing would have to be set back 25 feet. He asked the Planning Commission for more direction. Chairman Cruz replied that he doesn't want to continue propagating the problem of dead-end streets and access issues contributing to a dead-end lot. He proposed at minimum Lot 1 to be connected to the cul-de-sac in any way possible. He would also like to see the right-of-way of Maple Drive to be extended. Commissioner Polk was in agreement with Chairman Cruz and would like to alter Lot 2 in order to give Lot 1 access to the cul-de-sac or to work through Lot 15 and possibly continue Maple Drive. Chairman Cruz stated that he didn't want to be overly constrictive since there are variables that the Planning Commission might not be aware of and would like to see the Engineering and Planning Departments work with the applicant just as long as there is some kind of access for Lot 1. The Planning Commissioners were in agreement. Chairman Cruz asked the Commissioners what they felt about Maple Drive. Commissioner Greenway was concerned about the existing shop and doesn't want the property owner to have to remove the shop which was permitted in the County. Chairman Cruz clarified the right-of-way as long as the shop is existing. Commissioner Bachart added that if the access was evoked the shop would be in the way anyway. Page 57 of 141 Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, stated that there are many instances in the County where there are easements reserved for future road right-of- ways and they are useless because if they are not developed during the time of platting, no one will put it in and there won't be a public agency that will pay for it because it will only benefit one or two lots. If the Commission wants to see the extension of Maple Drive through it needs to be dedicated right-of-way and constructed as prior to the final plat approval. Chairman Cruz asked if that meant condemning the shop. Mr. White responded that it wouldn't have to be condemned; perhaps moved or the road could go around the shop. But the easement for a road unless done now is useless. Chairman Cruz suggested that Lot 1 either needs connection to the cul-de-sac or to Maple Drive and let the applicant work out the details with Staff. The Commissioners were in agreement with Chairman Cruz. Ilya Parkhotyuk, 785 Canyon Street, Apt. #304, Richland, spoke on behalf of his application. He stated that he will have to work it out with City Staff to get this plat to work. Paul Simpkins, 3412 Coral Court, expressed concern for an increase of traffic down Sterling Road due to Chiawanna High School students being so close. He asked if the City has planned for the increased. Mr. McDonald didn't foresee much of a traffic increase down Sterling Road from the students at Chiawanna as it isn't a direct route to anywhere. Mr. Simpkins asked if there would be a block wall built along the back of the proposed lots. Mr. McDonald answered that there wouldn't be a block wall required since the lots are not on an arterial corridor. Commissioner Portugal asked if the school was notified of the proposed plat. Mr. McDonald stated that they get notified of all proposed plats. With no further comments the public hearing closed. Commissioner Bachart moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to continue this item to the October 15, 2015 meeting. The motion passed with 5 votes with Commissioner Mendez recused. Page 58 of 141 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES 11/19/2015 A. Preliminary Plat Preliminary Plat for Ellie Estates (Llya Parkhotyuk) (MF# PP 2015-003) - Continued Chairwoman Polk read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Dave McDonald, City Planner, discussed the preliminary plat application for Ellie Estates. This item has been before the Planning Commission for the past three months as a continuing hearing. Last month direction was provided by the Commissioners to connect Maple Drive through to the proposed cul-de-sac running north to south from Sterling Road. The applicant was asked to modify his plat and talk to the property owners to see if they were willing to allow Maple Drive to connect, which would provide better circulation through the neighborhood and provide redundancy for utilities. The developer discussed this matter with the property owners and they weren't interested in having Maple Drive connect. The plat has been redrawn to include a temporary cul- de-sac with a right-of-way connecting from that cul-de-sac to Maple Drive. The thought being that the cul-de-sac and the north and south street could be developed and the bit of connecting right-of-way (connection to Maple) could be provided but not developed at this time. With the right-of-way in place, someday in the future the road could be extended. The right-of-way would also allow the water line to be extended. The proposal isn't exactly what the Planning Commissioner's had hoped for but it mostly fulfills what was trying to be accomplished. Commissioner Portugal asked how long in the future Maple Drive could be connected once the right-of-way is dedicated. Mr. McDonald answered that it could be 1 or more years, however, with the dedication of the right-of-way the option is preserved for the road to be extended in the future. Commissioner Portugal asked if the City or developer would move the shop in the future in order to connect the road. Mr. McDonald responded that in the future the developer or property owner would have to move the shop unless there was an arrangement made between the City and property owner to have it removed. Commissioner Greenaway asked for clarification that the City would not be forcing the current property owner to move the shop. Mr. McDonald stated that they would not be required to remove the shop, however, with this proposal they would require dedication of right-of-way. Commissioner Bowers asked if the owner of Lot 1 had no interest in moving the shop at this time. Page 59 of 141 Mr. McDonald answered that is correct. Commissioner Bowers asked if the property owners of Lots 1, 2 and 3 amenable to this plat. Mr. McDonald stated that he was unsure but perhaps the applicant could respond. Ilya Parkhotyuk, 785 Gaines Street, Richland, WA spoke on behalf of this application. He reiterated that the property owners are not interested at this time in connecting Maple Drive. The proposed plat is the best case scenario that was negotiated. Mr. Parkhotyuk stated that he offered to build a block wall to assist with any noise for the property owners but they weren't interested and did not want the road to go through at this point. This design is the only option left. Commissioner Bowers asked for clarification as to where they didn't want the road to go through. Mr. Parkhotyuk answered that they didn't want Maple Drive connecting to the cul-de- sac. With no further questions or comments the public hearing closed. Commissioner Bowers moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to close the public hearing on the proposed preliminary plat and initiate deliberations and schedule adoption of findings of fact, conclusions and a recommendation to the City Council for the December 17, 2015 meeting. The motion passed unanimously. Page 60 of 141 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES 12/17/2015 B. Preliminary Plat Preliminary Plat for Coles Estates, Lot 6 IBardown Consulting LLQ (MF# PP 2015-005) Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Dave McDonald, City Planner, discussed the preliminary plat application for Coles Estates, Lot 6. The applicant is requesting the property to be rezoned to R-1 and the proposal is to run cul-de-sac with single-family homes, similar to the surrounding developments. The lots would all meet the minimum square footage requirements for R-1 zoning, actually exceeding the average lot size. The staff report addresses the layout, utilities, schools, parks, travel ways and sidewalks. There are additional findings of fact in this staff report relating to nuisances and dust control as well as other items from the Pasco Municipal Code. These findings of fact used to be listed under conditions in previous preliminary plat applications, however, since they are addressed in the municipal code, they can be listed under findings of fact instead. Commissioner Portugal asked for clarification on water rights and irrigation. Mr. McDonald responded that the lots would receive city irrigation. The developer doesn't currently have water rights so they will pay fees to the city and the city will purchase the water rights. Typically if the developer has the water rights they would dedicate them to the city. With no further questions or comments the public hearing closed. Commissioner Greenaway moved, seconded by Commissioner Polk, to close the hearing on the proposed preliminary plat and initiate deliberations and schedule adoption of findings of fact, conclusions and a recommendation to the City Council for the January 21, 2016 meeting. The motion passed with 4 votes with Commissioner Mendez recused.

Kerr, City Attorney Page 66 of 141 REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION MASTER FILE NO: SP 2015-013 HEARING DATE: 11/19/2015 ACTION DATE: 12/17/2015 BACKGROUND APPLICANT: AT&T Mobility 19801 SW 72nd Ave., STE# 200 Tualatin, OR 97062 REQUEST: SPECIAL PERMIT: Location of a Wireless Communication Facility in the RS -12 (Suburban) Zone 1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: Parcel # 118-112-036: Lot 1, Short Plat 2005-11 General Location: 9915 West Argent Road Property The parcel is approximately 1.65 acres 2. ACCESS: The site is accessed from Argent Road. 3. UTILITIES: All municipal utilities currently serve the site. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is currently zoned RS -12 (Suburban) and contains a church. Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: NORTH: RS -12 - Vacant SOUTH: RS -20 - Single -Family Residences EAST: RS -12 - Vacant WEST: RS -12 - Single -Family Residences 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for low-density residential uses. Goal OF -2 suggests the City ought to maintain land use flexibility in regard to placement of infrastructure for public and private utilities. Policy OF -2-A encourages the sound management of all energy and communication utilities through coordination and cooperation dealing with construction of such facilities. Policy OF -2-13 encourages the placement of utility substations which are necessary for the surrounding neighborhood. 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. 1 Page 67 of 141 ANALYSIS AT&T Wireless is requesting special permit approval to locate cellular wireless communication facilities at the Desert Springs Covenant Church located on the northeast corner at the intersection of Road 100 and Argent Road. The proposal involves the addition of an architectural feature on the roof of the existing church to house cellular antennae together with a ground -level equipment enclosure. The applicant's request is an effort to fill a coverage/ capacity gap west of Road 68. The installation is intended to better support existing users west of Road 68 and would also potentially increase AT&T's ability to support more users in the same area. In April of 2014 the Planning Commission held a hearing to consider the addition of cellular communication facilities on the property in question. At that time the application was submitted by Smartlink LLC doing business as AT&T. During 2014, AT&T abruptly stopped all construction on new cell tower/antennae due to the reallocation of funds and consequently the special permit and subsequent building permit for the previously approved facility expired. AT&T's funding has been restored and the firm has again applied for a special permit to locate cellular communication facilities above the existing church located at 9915 W. Argent Road. As illustrated in the elevations submitted with the application (Exhibits 1-3), the applicant wishes to install wireless communication network antennae atop an existing church. The antennae will be housed within an architecturally integrated rooftop feature extending fifteen (15) feet above the existing roofline; for an overall structure height of 55.4 feet above grade. The proposed wireless communication antenna meets the requirements listed under the provisions of PMC 25.70.075, which require wireless facilities to be located on an existing structure taller than thirty-five (35) feet. Wireless Facility zoning regulations were specifically developed to permit (through special permit review) cellular tower/antenna equipment on taller buildings within the community. The PMC special permit review criteria for wireless facilities are written as follows: 25.70.075 WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITIES. Wireless Communication Facilities are permitted under the following conditions: (1) Such structures shall be permitted in all industrial or C-3 zoning districts provided the location is 500 feet or more from a residential district. Any location closer than 500 feet requires special permit approval. N Page 68 of 141 (2) Such structures may be permitted by special permit in all other zoning districts provided said structures are: (a) Attached to or located on an existing or proposed building or structure that is higher than thirty-five (35) feet; or (b) Located on or with a publicly owned facility such as a water reservoir, fire station, police station, school, county or port facility. (3) All wireless communication facilities shall comply with the following standards (a) Wireless facilities shall be screened or camouflaged by employing the best available technology. This may be accomplished by use of compatible materials, strategic location, color, stealth technologies, and/or other measures to achieve minimum visibility of the facility when viewed from public rights-of-way, and adjoining properties such that a casual observer cannot identify the Wireless Communication Facility. (b) Wireless facilities shall be located in the City in the following order of preference: i) Attached to or located on buildings or structures higher than 35 feet. ii) Located on or with a publicly owned facility iii) Located on a site other than those listed in a) or b). Commonly, cellular providers locate the equipment cabinets within a fenced area surrounding the base of a pole; in this case the ground -level equipment is proposed to be housed in a metal shelter designed for functionality. Renditions submitted with the application show no fence is proposed around the metal equipment shelter. Staff has entered a condition (#7) requiring the equipment enclosure be screened from view from surrounding roadways. The screening must meet design requirements of the I-182 Overlay District (PMC 25.58). A determination of non -significance from TOWAIR for the FAA has been obtained by the applicant; as required by PMC 25.70.075(4) a copy has been included in the application submittal. AT&T is licensed by the FCC to operate cellular telemetric communications on certain radio frequencies determined by the FCC to be safe for use within a civilian population. For this reason a request to locate cellular communication facilities cannot be denied on the basis of potential impacts on human health. During the November 19, 2015 public hearing the Planning Commission received testimony regarding potential health concerns, property value impacts and the City's public notification policies. During the hearing no supporting documentation substantiating the potential impacts discussed were submitted for entry into the record. Issues related to health concerns, property value 3 Page 69 of 141 impacts and public notification policies were addressed by staff during the hearing and within this staff report. Since the time of the hearing the applicant submitted two documents; they are a zoning narrative (Exhibit "B") and the TOWAIR determination stating that due to the low height of the facilities registration with the FAA is not required (Exhibit "C") . 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 zoned RS -12 (Suburban). 2. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for low-density residential uses. 3. The site is approximately 1.65 acres in area. 4. The site contains a church approximately 9,200 square feet in area. 5. All municipal utilities currently serve the site. 6. In the RS -12 zone cellular towers may be permitted by special permit provided the tower is either: i) Attached to or located on an existing or proposed building or structure that is higher than thirty-five (35) feet; or ii) Located on or with a publicly owned facility such as a water reservoir, fire station, police station, school, county or port facility. 7. The cellular antennae will be mounted on top of an existing church which is 40.4 feet in height. 8. Addition of the antennae housing appurtenance will increase the height of the church by fifteen (15) feet for an overall height of 55.4 feet. 9. Equipment serving the proposed antennae will be located within a 275 square foot ground -level equipment enclosure approximately 11.5 feet in height. 10. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the City ought to maintain land use flexibility with regard to placement of infrastructure for public and private utilities. 2 Page 70 of 141 11. The Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address cellular equipment. 12. Cellular equipment creates minimal demands on City infrastructure. CONCLUSIONS BASED ON 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) Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives and text of the Comprehensive Plan? The Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address cellular equipment. The Comprehensive Plan goal OF -2 and policy OF -2-A discuss the need for sound management and coordination in the location of utilities and community facilities. Policy ED -1-C promotes the need to support Pasco's urban area as a good business environment by enhancing the infrastructure of the community. The applicability of policy ED -1-C is enhanced due to the fact that the new tower will provide more/better service primarily to commercially zoned properties. Policy UT -1-C encourages coordination of utility providers' functional plans with the City's land use and utility plans to ensure long term service availability. (2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure? The proposed use is a part of the communication network utilized by the general public. The proposed equipment will be located in such a manner so as not to impact other public utilities or services. The proposed use does not require water and sewer. (3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with existing or intended character of the general vicinity? The character of the vicinity is dominated by residential suburban development. The addition of roof -top cellular antennae, as marked through architecturally consistent features, will not alter or affect the existing or intended character of the surrounding neighborhood. (4) Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site design discourage the development of permitted uses on property in the general vicinity or impair the value thereof? E Page 71 of 141 The proposed antennae housing will be located on top of an existing church building and generally will not be noticed by the public. The cellular facility is unlikely to discourage development in the vicinity. The tower will be designed to be integrated into the architectural design of the existing church. (5) Will the operations in connection with the proposal be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic, or flashing lights than would be the operation of any permitted uses within the district? The proposed cellular equipment will create no fumes, dust or noise. Cellular facilities have been located throughout the community in residential, commercial and industrial zones without generating any complaints received by the City. (6) Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and developed where proposed, or in any way become a nuisance to uses permitted in the district? The proposal is required to be designed by a professional engineer to withstand applicable snow and wind loads. The applicant is also required by law to coordinate with the FAA and FCC prior to obtaining a building permit. A Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation for the tower has been issued to AT&T by the FAA for the proposed facility. Radio waves at frequencies utilized by local cellular networks have not been proven to be harmful to human health. Radio wave activity is focused on the antennas which are elevated approximately 40 to 50 feet above grade; away from human activity. The cellular antennae and equipment pose no true threat to public health and safety. AT&T is licensed by the FCC to operate cellular telemetric communications on certain radio frequencies determined by the FCC to be safe for use within a civilian population. For this reason a request to locate cellular communication facilities cannot be denied on the basis of potential impacts on human health. no Page 72 of 141 APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1) The special permit shall apply to parcel # 118-112-036 addressed 9915 West Argent Road; 2) The property shall be developed in substantial conformity with the elevations and site plan submitted with the application except as conditioned herein; 3) The cellular antennae enclosure shall not exceed 55.4 feet in height as measured from existing grade; 4) The cellular antennae shall be enclosed within an architecturally integrated feature attached to the church building; 5) The ground -level equipment enclosure shall be located no closer than ten (10) feet from the north and east property lines of parcel # 118- 112-036; 6) The ground -level equipment shall be located within a decorative block wall which fully blocks the view from all rights-of-way.

This is a AT&T service area that has a significant service coverage gap as illustrated in Exhibit 1A. The Exhibit shows the proposed site (Red star) and our nearest adjacent sites (Blue triangle). As can be seen, there is a large coverage gap in all areas not shaded in Green. This gap determination was a result of a combination of customer complaints, service requests and RF design analysis. The service coverage improvement is targeted mostly along a portion of Argent Street heading east, Road 100 heading north and the surrounding residential areas to the east and north of the Road 100 & Argent St. intersection. The proposed antenna tip height of 50 ft. is the minimum required to achieve the coverage objective relative to nearby complementary wireless facilities and stay within the zoning requirements of the area. Reducing antenna height will reduced effectiveness and will make the proposed new facility ineffective. Exhibit 1B, demonstrates the minimum acceptable expanded level of service that will be provided with the addition of the new proposed site. This is where an AT&T handset can be reliably used to make and receive telephone calls in the presence of varying receive signals. The site will serve in all newly shaded Green areas. Exhibit 1C shows the predicted future network with a planned site KP0444 on the air also. The site location is shown as an orange square. rico F ..

Special Permit Special Permit to locate wireless cellular facilities at an existing church in an RS -12 (Suburban) Zone (AT&T) (MF# SP 2015-013) Chairwoman Polk read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, discussed the special permit application to locate wireless cellular facilities at an existing church in an RS -12 Zone. The site is located at 9915 West Argent Road and is 1.65 acres. The Planning Commission saw this application in April 2014 and the applicant was granted a special permit, however, they let the special permit expire. This application is a renewal as some of the applicant's internal issues have been resolved. The antennae will be housed within a structure that looks like a bell tower. It will be disguised within the addition on the top of the existing roof of the church located on this property. The elevation of the church is greater than 35' in height and with the antennae it will be roughly 55' above the ground level. The Pasco Municipal Code does have a priority or hierarchy for cell service and cellular antennae's and in this case, the structure exceeds 35' in height so it meets one of the priority locational criteria. Since the Commission has seen this item before, Staff is requesting the Planning Commission close the public hearing and make a recommendation for Council at this meeting. Angela Raymond, 5501 NE 109th Court, Vancouver, WA spoke on behalf of AT&T for this application. She stated that this proposal is exactly the same as it was presented and approved in 2014. She presented a photo into the record as to what the "bell tower" will look like on the church, which is where the antennae's will be housed. The ground facilities will be located on the left of the structure as an enclosed structure surrounded by a solid 8' brick wall. Chairwoman Polk asked if there would be any ornamentation on the bell tower. Ms. Raymond responded that there would be at the top. Commissioner Mendez asked if there were any safety concerns with the antennae inside the bell tower. Page 89 of 141 Ms. Raymond answered that it meets the FCC safety regulations and does not propose a risk. It will be structurally engineered by a certified engineer in Washington State during the building permit process. Commissioner Mendez stated he was more concerned with the frequencies. Ms. Raymond responded that AT&T is licensed under the FCC so they are in compliance with all of the federal regulations with radio frequency waves. Commissioner Bowers asked why the tower is proposed for this site. Ms. Raymond answered that there is a process as to how a location is selected. AT&T comes forth to consultants with their needs for service areas to better serve their customers and increase quality and then the consultants go through zoning requirements for each municipality and look for existing communication towers and buildings to first co -locate on to attach their antennae's for the least impact. In this case they were fortunate to find a building in the needed location that is suitable for the antennae's and already has a significant height. It is a better solution than a new monopole. Commissioner Bowers asked if the church would be compensated. Ms. Raymond responded yes that there is a separate process between AT&T and the property owner goes through. Rebecca Cooper, 3807 Santa Ana Loop, discussed her concerns for this application. She stated that her family has property located near this proposed site, including two homes and a vineyard. She is speaking on their behalf. In 2014 and this year her family has not received any notice on these public hearings other than the legal notice in the newspaper. She asked Staff if 300 feet was the required notification for public hearings. Staff shook their heads yes. Ms. Cooper responded that anyone who has property just over 300 feet, such as 310 feet, could find excavating and other work being done on property near them without receiving any notification. This is the first time she has had a chance to speak on this special permit application, however her second time in one year speaking on the location of a cell tower. She shared her concerns about the health safety of the towers especially located so closely to children, the effects on property value and the appearance. She stated that in 2014, Realtor Magazine published an article that 94% of homebuyers and renters say they are less interested and would pay less for a property located near a cell Page 90 of 141 phone tower. And 79% said they would never purchase a property within a few blocks of a cell tower or antennae. The article stated that homebuyers that do buy, pay 20% less for a property located near a tower or antennae. Ms. Cooper briefly discussed the Desert Plateau hearing in July regarding another cellular tower and how the citizens were told the Planning Commission could not reject a special permit application based on health concerns because it meets the FCC standards, however, the International Commission for Electromagnetic Safety has studied the effects of health and went over those concerns. Commissioner Portugal asked how far her family's property is from the proposed cell tower. Mr. White responded that it is well over 300 feet from the church site. Ms. Cooper said the vineyard is another issue and because they would like to someday sell it and this will affect their real estate. Commissioner Portugal responded that the reason he asked is because the City is bound to notify within 300 feet and anything outside of that 300 feet the City is within the law. Ms. Cooper agreed but stated that the law should be expanded so more people have an idea as to what is going on. Commissioner Portugal answered that the City doesn't have much control over that. Ms. Cooper stated that the City could change those policies and could have policies to not locate cell towers near schools, churches or parks. Chairwoman Polk responded that the towers have to be located where there is a need. Ms. Cooper said nobody wants these towers in their backyard. Peoples concerns are real and this is near her family's property and they would like to sell their property someday. Nobody wants to live near cell towers and they shouldn't be near schools. There is going to be a school at this location. She asked that the Planning Commission consider that health research exists, that the Commission extend notification if they can and to use precautions of health. Jeff Smith, 8920 W. Dradie Street, stated that his family owns property across the street from the proposed site. He agreed that 300 feet is a little short for Page 91 of 141 the notices and believes that there should at least be 1/2 mile radius. Mr. Smith said that his concern is that there seems to be double standards for building characteristics to match the neighborhood. He tried to add on to his shop and the County informed him that the zoning had changed and he couldn't because it didn't fit the theme of the neighborhood. Later the City annexed his property, which he didn't mind, but he tried again to add on to his shop. The City said no because it was already too big the way it was and didn't fit the theme of the neighborhood. But throughout the neighborhood there are shops everywhere and he didn't see how a cell tower fit the theme of the neighborhood. Rob Morehouse, 3708 Road 103, wanted to state that he also felt the 300 foot radius notification wasn't a fair distance. David Hurley, 4311 W. Murray Court, stated that he was on the leadership team of the church and he felt they were good neighbors and found it alarming to hear they were not. The church body has agreed to move forward with this application, however, to his understanding it hasn't been completely solidified with AT&T and could fall through. The fact that it will be enclosed in a bell tower and hidden from site, adding service to the neighborhood, they all thought it was a win-win for everybody. Angela Raymond, 5501 NE 109th Court, spoke again on her application. She addressed the concerns discussed during the hearing. All requirements have been met per Pasco Municipal Code and as far as property values, she has read other statistics to the opposite affect that an average of 1 in 4 homes have a cell phone that they solely rely on for emergency purposes, personal use and business. The communication tower will provide emergency services for e-911 requirements. As for the health concerns, she stated that there have been no proven health effects associated with wireless communication facilities and all radio frequency waves will be met with the FCC and are in compliance. There was mention of wireless devices, this application is for a wireless communication facility and not associated with the wireless devices used. The facility is proposed to be located where service is needed. The site is in a suburban district which is allowed through the Pasco Municipal Code and AT&T has met all requirements. They are stealthing the facility at maximum capacity. Commissioner Greenaway asked the applicant if she has heard any research of the towers or antennae's lowering property values. Ms. Raymond answered no. Page 92 of 141 Rebecca Cooper, 3807 Santa Ana Loop, spoke again to Ms. Raymond's comments. She discussed the article in Realtor Magazine again concerning property values. Commissioner Portugal asked the City about the health concerns discussed by Ms. Cooper and if there is any way to compare. Mr. White responded that with the health and property data mentioned during the hearing that there are pro and con for both. He has done the research and so you will find some information stating that it does effect health and property values and no it doesn't. The City, County and anyone else in the United States is prohibited from using potential health impacts as a way to deny a permit since it is federally compliant. Commissioner Greenaway asked if the school was notified since they own property nearby and what happened to the notification to the vineyard. Dave McDonald, City Planner, responded that there is a database used to pull addresses or parcels within 300 feet and the Planning Department mails out the notices to those addresses. Commissioner Portugal asked if the 300 foot notification was the same in Pasco as it is in other municipalities. Mr. White added that the 300 foot radius notification comes from Washington State Law. Commissioner Bowers said it would be helpful to know where other cell towers are located in the area. Chairwoman Polk assisted Commissioner Bowers with that information. The Commissioners were in agreement to close the public hearing but hold off on making a recommendation to City Council until the December meeting. Commissioner Mendez moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenway, to close the public hearing and schedule deliberations and adoption of findings of fact and conclusions for the December 17, 2015 meeting. The motion passed 4 to 1 with Commissioner Portugal dissenting. Page 93 of 141 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES 12/17/2015 C. Special Permit Special Permit to locate wireless cellular facilities at an existing church in an RS -12 (Suburban) Zone IAT&TL(MF# SP 2015-0131 Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Shane O'Neill, Planner I, discussed the special permit application to locate wireless cellular facilities at an existing church in an RS -12 (Suburban) Zone. During the public hearing last month there was testimony related to the potential health effects of cellular facilities. There has been language added to the staff report to address those issues. Because AT&T is licensed by the FCC to operate cellular communications on certain radio frequencies determined by the FCC, it will be safe for use within a civilian population so health concerns cannot be the basis of a recommendation for denial. Other than that language, the report remains the same. Commissioner Greenaway moved, seconded by Commissioner Mendez, to adopt findings of fact and conclusions therefrom as contained in the December 17, 2015 staff report. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Greenaway moved, seconded by Commissioner Polk, based on the findings of fact and conclusions, as adopted, the Planning Commission recommend the City Council grant a special permit to allow the installation of wireless communication facilities on tax parcel # 118-112-036 addressed 9915 West Argent Road with conditions as contained in the December 17, 2015 staff report. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Cruz reminded the audience in regards to health concerns, that it is an FCC federal statute and the Planning Commission does not have any control to deny an application based on health concerns since it is federally in compliance. -1- Page 94 of 141 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council December 28, 2015 TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Regular Meeting: 1/4/16 Rick White, Director Community & Economic Development FROM: Dave McDonald, City Planner Community & Economic Development SUBJECT: Special Permit: Redevelopment of Mark Twain Elementary School Parking Lots (MF# SP 2015-012) L REFERENCE(S): Vicinity Map Proposed Resolution Report to Planning Commission Planning Commission Minutes Dated: 11/19/15 & 12/17/15 IL ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION:I move to approve Resolution No. , accepting the Planning Commission's recommendation and approving a special permit for the redevelopment of parking lots at Mark Twain Elementary School.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: West 1/2 of the southeast 1/4 of the southeast 1/4 of Section Township 9 North, Range 29 East less the Roads and Short Plat 93-2. General Location: 1801 Rd 40 Property Approximately 13 acres 2. ACCESS: The school has access from Road 40 and Pearl Street. 3. UTILITIES: All municipal utilities currently serve the site. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned RS -12 (Suburban Residential) and contains Mark Twain Elementary School. The zoning and land use of the surrounding properties are as follows: NORTH: RS -12 - Single -Family Residences SOUTH: C-1 - Bank Sv Offices EAST: RS -12 - Single Family Residences WEST: RS -12 - Single Family Residences 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for public and quasi -public uses. Goal CF -5 suggests adequate provisions should be made for educational facilities located throughout the urban growth area. Policy CF -5-A encourages the appropriate location and design of schools throughout the community. 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. 1 Page 101 of 141 Mark Twain Elementary School as been located at the southeast corner of Road 40 and Pearl Street since 1956. A major remodel of the school occurred in 1998 and portable classrooms have been added during four of the last five years. The added classrooms and other improvements at the school has generated addition car and bus travel to and from the school every morning and afternoon during the school year. To improve neighborhood traffic circulation and congestion concerns during the morning drop-off and after school pickup of students, the School District is proposing to add additional parking and an expanded/new bus staging area. These improvements will include new staff parking, new parent pickup and drop-off and a new bus loading and unloading area. The improvement areas are identified in the attached site plan. The current bus loading and unloading area only provides space for five to six buses. The proposal will add an additional 10 bus stalls enabling the current bus stalls to be converted to special needs bus drop-off and pickup only. The expanded and reconfigured parking along Road 40 will include 31 drop-off stalls and 58 parking stalls. The proposed facilities are designed to eliminate or lessen the stacking of school buses on Pearl Street and parent parking along Road 40. The School District is anticipating having the improvements completed for the 2016-2017 school year. 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. Mark Twain Elementary School has been located at the southeast corner of Road 40 and Pearl Street since the 1956. 2. The Pasco School District received Special Permit approval for a major remodel of the Mark Twain Elementary School in 1997. The remodel was completed in 1998. 3. The school site is zoned RS -12. 2 Page 102 of 141 4. Additional portable classrooms were added to the Mark Twain site in 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2015. 5. A new cafeteria was added to the school in 2012. 6. The proposed parking improvements will add an additional 10 bus stalls enabling the current bus stalls to be converted to a special needs bus drop-off and pickup area. 7. The expanded and reconfigured parking along Road 40 will include 31 drop-off stalls for parents and 58 teacher and visitor parking stalls. 8. The new bus loading and unloading area will include an area that will now or in the future provide additional teacher and employee parking 9. Schools are defined as unclassified uses require review through the Special Permit process as enumerated in PMC 25.86. 10. The proposed parking expansion and new bus loading and unloading areas will be hard surfaced and will contain on-site drainage. CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT The Planning Commission must make Findings of Fact based upon the criteria listed in P.M.C. 25.86.060. The criteria and staff listed findings are as follows: 1. Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives and text of the Comprehensive Plan? Goal CF -5 suggests adequate provisions be made for educational facilities throughout the Urban Growth Area. Policy CF -5-A encourages the appropriate location and design of schools throughout the community. The proposal is consistent with the referenced Plan goal and policy and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land use map. 2. Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure? The proposal will have no additional impact on water, sewer or other utility services. No additional classrooms are being proposed. The proposed parking lot expansion and new bus staging area are designed to reduce on street parking and stacking thereby lessening the impact on of school traffic and bus operations on surrounding streets. 3. Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity? 3 Page 103 of 141 The proposed use of the property will not be altered. Mark Twain elementary has been located on the property site 1956 and is an accepted part of the neighborhood. The proposed parking lot improvements and new bus staging will not alter the general character of the neighborhood. The proposed improvements will lessen the impact of on street parking associated with the school and will mostly eliminate the stacking of school busses on the adjoin streets. The proposal will improve harmony between the school operations and the neighborhood. 4. Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site design discourage the development of permitted uses on property in the general vicinity or impair the value thereof? The neighborhood is almost fully developed and much of the development to the west and south occurred after the Mark Twain Elementary School and associated parking areas were constructed. The school and associated parking lots have not discouraged development or impaired the value of neighboring properties. An online search of the Franklin County Assessors records indicates the school has not had a detrimental impact on surrounding values. 5. Will the operations in connection with the proposal be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic, or flashing lights than would be the operation of any permitted uses within the district? There will be no change in the use or operation of the Mark Twain site with the exception of the redevelopment and expansion of off-street parking along Road 40 and the addition of a new bus staging area in the northeast corner of the site. These improvements will improve traffic, parking and bus operation in and around the school. 6. Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and developed where proposed, or in any way will become a nuisance to uses permitted in the district? Improving and expanding off-street parking and bus staging areas will generally improve safety in the neighborhood. The Mark Twain Elementary School campus has been an accepted part of the neighborhood for 59 years. The school has not been considered a nuisance to the neighborhood. The proposed parking improvements and expanded bus staging area will improve traffic circulation 2 Page 104 of 141 TENTATIVE APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1.

Special Permit Special Permit for the modification of parking facilities at Mark Twain Elementary School (Pasco School District) (MF# SP 2015-012) Chairwoman Polk read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Dave McDonald, City Planner, discussed the special permit application for the modification of parking facilities at Mark Twain Elementary School. The School District wants to reconfigure and enlarge the current parking that runs along the west side of the school by adding a number of additional drop-off points for parents to drop-off and pick up their children, as well as adding a number of parking stalls. In addition, the District wants to reconfigure the bus drop-off and pick-up which is currently a very small area north of the school. Plan is to add an area to the east that could accommodate 10 or more buses. The current smaller drop-off area would be used for special needs students. In between the new bus area additional staff and teacher parking would be added. The new parking should lessen some of the congestion on Road 40 and Pearl Street. The school has been at this location since 1956 and is an established part of the neighborhood. These improvements should benefit the surrounding properties. Chairwoman Polk asked where the existing drop-off area is located. Mr. McDonald stated that he believed it is right along the sidewalk on Road 40. There is not much room inside the parking lot to drop children off. Commissioner Portugal asked if the public was informed about the proposed modifications and if the City has received any feedback. Mr. McDonald responded that with every public hearing a notice is posted twice in the newspaper at least 10 days before the hearing and that same notice is mailed directly to all property owners within 300 feet of the school site. The Planning Office received a visit from one couple that lived on the east side of the school site and perhaps one phone call but that is the only feedback received from the public. Randy Nunamaker, 1215 E. Lewis Street, spoke on behalf of the application. Mark Twain Elementary School was built in 1956 and has had significant renovations in 1988 and was to house approximately 500 students. With the growth in Pasco since then, the School District has added a number of portables and has increased the enrollment of the school. The traffic along Road 40 and Pearl Street is congested at times, backed up to Road 40 with parent pick-up and drop-off. In 2013, Pasco voters approved a bond and this project was part of the bond. In the interim, the School District has worked with the Pasco Engineering Department and they have provided crosswalks and stop signs to try to alleviate some of the challenges with traffic. The Page 114 of 141 Pasco Police Department and Fire Department have assisted as well. Commissioner Portugal asked how many buses pick-up and drop-off children. Mr. Nunamaker answered that it varies. Currently there are 3 special needs buses and roughly 4-5 general needs buses. Commissioner Greenaway asked what is located in the open space between the parking and the school. Mr. Nunamaker said that it is a playground. Chairwoman Polk asked if the majority of drop-offs are occurring on Road 40 and Pearl. Mr. Nunamaker responded that the parent drop-off is on Road 40. Currently they have to pull into the parking lot to load and unload and it blocks traffic so nobody can pull in or out. The bus parking is currently on Pearl Street and some of the buses can fit into the pull-out but some have to park on Pearl Street. Commissioner Bowers asked if this new plan has been shared with the parents at this school. Mr. Nunamaker said it has been given to the principal to share and the School District has received input. The School District went through a process a few years ago with the parents when this project was first looked at and they came up with short term and long term fixes. The principal was provided with four options and this is what was chosen as the proposed plan. Commissioner Mendez asked if the School District views this as a way to relieve congestion and enhance safety for the children. Mr. Nunamker responded yes. Pamela Morehouse, 3611 Mesquite Drive, stated that she has control over her parents' property, 1812 Road 36, that is adjacent to where to proposed bus drop-off is located. She asked how the proposed plan was going to alleviate congestion on Road 40 and Pearl by increasing traffic on Road 40 and Pearl since both of these streets will be used to access these drop-off points. The property to the south is not being used and would be a better location. She also believes that these modifications will affect the value of her parents' property negatively. Commissioner Portugal asked if Ms. Morehouse or her parents were offered the opportunity to participate in discussions at the school. Ms. Morehouse answered that this was this first chance she has been able to speak on Page 115 of 141 this proposal. Rob Morehouse, 3708 Road 103, stated that his parents' property is adjacent to the proposed modifications and the property on the south side of the school is all weeds and the improvements would be better suited there. He requested clarification on where they were expanding the parking lot. Chairwoman Polk responded that they are proposing to remove any existing bus drop off but they are adding an additional bus drop-off and expanding the parent drop-off to keep cars off of the street. Mr. Morehouse asked where Road 38 is located. Mr. McDonald answered that Road 38 is to the north of the proposed bus parking. Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, clarified that the map that was displayed during the meeting had north to the left of the sketch. Mr. Morehouse said that since this school was built in 1956, they owned the property adjacent to the school and this is the first notice that they have received. He didn't believe that this plan was going to relieve traffic at all. Commissioner Portugal asked Mr. Morehouse how his property would be negatively affected as he had mentioned. Mr. Morehouse said that with the bus loading moved next to his property the value will be hurt. If someone wants to develop the property with homes they will not want the bus drop-off in the backyard. Commissioner Portugal asked what other concerns he has about this proposal. Mr. Morehouse responded that his other concern is that the City of Pasco is wanting another 10' to widen the road down Pearl Street, which is what they did a couple of years ago on his parents property and was told they were going to widen the road. Chairwoman Polk responded that she is unaware of the issue widening the road but it does not pertain to this application and those plans are not a part of the School District's modifications. Donnabelle Labonte, 1804 Road 40, stated that she was concerned about the safety of the students and traffic on Road 40. The parents that pick-up and drop-off double park at times. It is difficult to safely drive down this road even going the speed limit of 25 mph. She has spoken with staff at the school as well as the Police Department. She also thought the empty lot to the south of the school would be a better location for the parking and drop-off. Page 116 of 141 Commissioner Portugal asked Ms. Labonte if she has contacted anyone at the school or spoken to the principal. Ms. Labonte answered that she has been over to the school frequently over the years working with the administration and this past year she has seen an improvement. Marilyn Hansen, 3905 W. Pearl Street, stated that her driveway is continually blocked and her mailbox has been destroyed by parents picking up and dropping off their children. She stated that she cannot come home for lunch or around 3:00 p.m. because it is too hard to pull into her home. She believes something definitely needs to be done to the current parking and asked where the proposed parking will be located. Chairwoman Polk responded that the school is planning to have 23 drop-off spots inside the school property where cars can turn in and park parallel to the school instead of on the street and some parallel parking. The existing bus drop off will remain but designated for special needs buses only. The bulk of the buses will be located farther away. Ms. Hansen felt that the proposed bus drop-off was a long ways for the kids to walk. Chairwoman Polk stated that the children would be walking through the school grounds, not on the sidewalk. Ms. Hansen asked if the buses could pull in on Pearl but then exit around on the other side of the school. Mr. Nunamaker shook his head no. Ms. Hansen asked if the School District owned the property south of the school. Mr. Nunamaker responded no. Rebecca Cooper, 3807 Santa Ana Loop, stated that the buses aren't so much of an issue as the parent who pick-up and drop-off their children as she sees in her neighborhood near McGee. She would like to see something done to keep parents off the street, such as "No Parking" signs or painting the curbs yellow. Chairwoman Polk asked Mr. Nunamaker to come back and address some of the concerns discussed by the public, such as; modifying the lot south of the school, how many parking spots will be added and if any studies have been done regarding parking on the street versus using the drop-off. Mr. Nunamaker stated that one of the challenges they have is parents can pull up in the street wherever they want. The Pasco Police Department has been very responsive when contacted for traffic control, however, they cannot be out every day. The Page 117 of 141 challenge with parents is that they want to get as close as possible to where the children are being let out and want to pick up as quickly as possible. The further away you place the parking, the more likely they are to violate that and move closer to the building on either side of the street. The idea behind their proposed design is to get the parents off of Road 40 which is where they are parking right now. The proposal gives parents a place to park and even an area to drive through so they don't have to get out of the car. As for the lot to the south, Mr. Nunamaker referred to Kim Marsh from the School District, who stated that the School District does not own the property to the south. Chairwoman asked for clarification on the parking and drop-off area. Mr. Nunamaker responded that it will all be reconfigured. Currently there is a small semi-oval pull-out for parents to pull in however it is significantly smaller. The challenge is that they have had to use the parking lot as part of the parent pick- up/drop-off area. Commissioner Portugal asked how many students attend the school and if there are more students than intended. Mr. Nunamaker answered that they are not over capacity with the core building and portables. Commissioner Bowers asked for clarification of the drop-off area for parents, pull through for the buses, where the kids go to find their parents and where the children will be released from school. Mr. Nunamaker referred to the map on the overhead to point out where the proposed parent pick-up and drop-off would be and children released. Commissioner Portugal stated in addition to reminding parents but neighboring property owners who may not have children going to the school and asked if they are notified. Mr. Nunamaker stated that the property owners in the area typically get notified through the School District's Building Administration, so the principal contacts people in the area. Commissioner Bowers asked Mr. Nunamaker to address the claim from the Morehouse's regarding this negatively affecting their property value. Mr. Nunamaker responded that he would not be the correct person to address that issue. Donnabelle Labonte, 1804 Road 40, suggested the Planning Commissioner's drive through the area between 2:30pm-3:40pm to see how congested it gets. In terms of getting notified by the school, she stated that she no longer has children going to the Page 118 of 141 school, however she works with the School District and that is the only way she finds anything out. She did receive a notice in the mail from the City regarding the public hearing but nothing from the School District. Pamela Morehouse, 3611 Mesquite Drive, addressed employees parking around their homes. She asked if there are plans to expand staff parking and if there will be enough to handle the staff load. Chairwoman Polk answered that it appears the bus loading is moving to the east and there will be an optional 40 -stall staff parking area in the middle of the bus loading area while the buses loop around them. Ms. Morehouse was concerned about the design for the safety of the children. Chairwoman Polk addressed the safety concerns. With no further comments the public hearing closed. Commissioner Portugal asked staff about a concern Mr. Morehouse had about the City needing 10' of property to widen the road by this School. Mr. McDonald responded that is a separate issue and has nothing to do with the special permit application. Commissioner Greenaway moved, seconded by Commissioner Mendez, to close the hearing on the proposed parking lot and initiate deliberations and schedule adoption of findings of fact, conclusions and a recommendation to the City Council for the December 17, 2015 meeting. The motion passed unanimously. Page 119 of 141 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES 12/17/15 B.

REFERENCE(S): Photos of sample "Your Speed" signs Interagency Agreement between Washington Traffic Safety Commission and the City of Pasco II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve the Interagency Agreement with the Washington Traffic Safety Commission and, further, authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement. III. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed $20,000 grant will result in an expenditure of $20,000 and will be included in the 2016 mid -year budget adjustment. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Washington Traffic Safety Commission announced a call for Target Zero Projects for the 2016 federal fiscal year in December 2014. Target Zero is a high-level strategic plan which sets state-wide priorities for all traffic safety partners, provides a resource for potential strategies to address each of the priority areas, and monitors outcomes at a statewide level for each of the priority areas. Target Zero's strategies focus on the Four "E's": 1. Education: Give drivers the information to make the best choices. 2. Enforcement: Use driver behavior data to help law-enforcement officers pinpoint locations with a high number of serious collisions. 3. Engineering: Use best practices to prevent or reduce the severity of collisions. 4. Emergency Medical Services: Provide high-quality and rapid emergency and medical response to injury collisions. Page 121 of 141 The City submitted a grant application for combined educational outreach, including sign fabricating equipment, materials and supplies, and vehicle behavior data collection for enforcement. The intent of the program is for local governments to take a step closer towards meeting Washington State's Target Zero's goals and objectives. In May 2015, the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) notified the City of an award in the amount of $20,000. Subsequent discussions between WTSC and the City have resulted in a scope of work to include radar equipped speed signs and public outreach materials. In December 2015, the City received the Grant Proposal Interagency Agreement and Grant Requirement Acknowledgement Form for the $20,000 grant from the WTSC. V. DISCUSSION: As proposed, the $20,000 WTSC grant would fund the following: Purchase of three (3) Speed Radar Message Signs ($14,841); and Materials for the educational outreach variable roadway messages ($5,159). The Speed Radar Message Signs would collect anonymous traffic data (i.e. vehicle speed with time of day and traffic volumes). City engineers would then analyze the data and develop over -the -speed -limit databases to assist in the development of passive roadway modifications to discourage speeding and City law enforcement officers in developing effective enforcement practices for a given area. The City will be coordinating with Chiawana High School to develop roadway awareness messages with emphasis on Target Zero educational objectives. This portion of the grant will pay for the fabrication of the roadway awareness messages. The grant does not require any monetary matching contributions from the City.

REFERENCE(S): December 17, 2015 Regular Meeting: 1/4/16 Benton -Franklin Council of Governments Recommendation for 2016 and 2017 STP/TAP Project Prioritization for STIP Funding II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve the division of the Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements Project into two phases and, further, move to include both projects in the City's 2016-2021 Capital Improvement Plan. III. FISCAL IMPACT: Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements Project—Phase 1: $1,541,254 STP Grant - $1,333,184 Arterial Street Fund - $208,070 Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements Project —Phase 2: $3,300,000* STP Grant - $983,776 (Currently Allocated) Arterial Street Fund - TBD (13.5% of total project cost as local funds match, if STP funds are secured) * Project is not fully funded. Additional grant applications will be submitted. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: In November 2015, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Local Highways Program division notified Benton Franklin Council of Governments (BFCOG) that BFCOG had over -obligated Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds in previous years' projects, culminating in a $4.4 million deficit for the 2016 fiscal year. Page 137 of 141 BFCOG immediately convened a special Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting on November 9, 2015 to discuss strategies on how to address the deficit issue without compromising the BFCOG's 2016 Surface Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) delivery objectives to all jurisdictions. During the TAC meeting, based on the remaining balance of STP funds, the City agreed to separate the Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements Project ("Project") into two separate phases with funding obligations spread over two years rather than deferring the entire Project to 2018. Phase 1 of the Project will be eligible to obligate the federal funds in 2016; whereas Phase 2 would be deferred to 2018. V. DISCUSSION: BFCOG is aware and has acknowledged that their past practice of "first come, first serve" obligation approach is no longer effective due to area growth and increased project funding needs. BFCOG will be taking steps to establish programming policies for future obligations to avoid repeating the current deficit situation. BFCOG had initially opted to defer the entire Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements Project to 2018. Staff was able to successfully negotiate partial deferment to 2016 and the remainder to 2018. The project will be broken down into the following phases: Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements Project — Phase 1 will upgrade 11 signalized intersections that were identified to have no right-of-way impact. Phase 1 is expected to be advertised for construction in 2016. Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements Project — Phase 2 will upgrade 22 signalized intersections with identified right-of-way impacts. The Preliminary Engineering for Phase 2 will include right-of-way services, property boundary surveys and environmental documentation to meet federal requirements and certifications. Phase 2 will require additional funding in order to complete the project and the additional time to receive STIP fund allows the City to pursue additional grants. Phase 1 would require $208,070 City funds as local match for the $1,333,184 received in federal grants. Phase 2 requires a 13.5% of total project cost as local funds match, if STIP funding is secured. Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements Project Phase 1 and Phase 2 will replace the original Project in the City's adopted 2016-2021 Capital Improvement Plan. The revised projects will be submitted to BFCOG on January 7, 2016 for acceptance before being submitted to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for final approval.

BACKGROUND: The STP status update in November was a disappointment, given the carry -forward of STP funds is in violation of the Obligation Authority Policy. BFCG received an update report on the 2015 obligations from WSDOT Local Programs, Headquarters just moments prior to the TAC meeting on November 5t". BFCG is beginning the FFY2016 with a negative carry -forward of4.4 million. The TAC called a special meeting on November 9t" to discuss and determine how to proceed forward. The focus of the special meeting was to achieve consensus on prioritizing projects in the 2016 STIP that would benefit all jurisdictions. After much deliberation the meeting broke up with these outcomes: The City of Pasco prepared a list of locations and cost estimate information for their Traffic Signal Improvements project. The project can be split into two separate projects over two years, allowing for fiscal constraint of the STIP by year. (See revised - Attachment #1) • After discussion with Franklin County, BFCG staff will make an effort to move two of Franklin County's projects from program year 2018 to program year 2017. (See revised - Attachment #1) • BFCG staff was requested to make several revisions to the spreadsheet the committee was working with; 1.) Revise to display projects that are not currently in the STIP, 2.) Add all years of UPWP allocation. (See revised - Attachment #1) WHAT BFCG KNOWS NOW: ✓ BFCG will have a two-year constraint (2016-2017). ✓ The first quarter of IFFY 2017 is available to use. ($792,500) ✓ Pasco's Traffic Signal Improvements is shown in Attachment #1 and will be amended in the 2016 STIP to reflect the change. The above items have made the difference between being able to obligate in 2016/2017 or not. That said, the Local Agency Task Force is going to meet in December and could still make changes to what we have been told. Please review Attachment #1 and contact me with any questions you might have. BFCG hereby gives public notice that it is the agency policy to assure full compliance with Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, Executive Order 12898 on Environmental Justice, and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities. Page 139 of 141 PAC Meeting — December 10, 2015 Continued - 2016, 2017 and 2018 STP/TAP Project Prioritization for STIP Page 2 The TAC unanimously recommended approval with the following changes. 1. Delete PAI g from the recommendation; use only years 2016 and 2017. 2. Change the title of the spreadsheet to years 2016 and 2017 only. 3. Identify projects for STP and TAP on attachment #1 that were obligated during "1st Quarter-FFY 2016 10/1/15 — 12/30/15" 4. Delete "Ga" {eF PF9jeet--" in both the STP and TAP.
