of the Port Annexation area
III FISCAL IMPACT None
IV HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF
A The Port of Pasco has been contemplating the possibility of annexing to the City of
Pasco, but would like some assurances about the types of zoning that would be applicable
to the Big Pasco area in the event that area was annexed
B Annexation laws provide a process for cities to prezone property beyond city limits
prior to an annexation of a particular area The process requires the Council to hold two
public heaings
V DISCUSSION
The Big Pasco Industrial Park, the Sacajawea Park area and the Chevron Tank Farm
complex and associated vacant lands are currently zoned for industrial use by Franklin
County The comprehensive plans of both the city and the County suggest these areas
ought to be developed for industrial uses in the future Except Sacajawea Park, developed
lands within this area are industrial in nature considering the fact this area is generally
developed with industrial uses, is currently zoned for those purposes by the County and is
designated by both the City and County comprehensive plans as an industrial area, the
Planning Commission recommended that the Big Pasco Industrial complex be zoned 1-3
with the exception of the western edge I-1 is recommended as a buffer on the western end
of the Port The area immediately east of Big Pasco, Sacajawea Park and the Chevron
Tank Farm properties are recommended for 1-2, medium industrial zoning and those
properties along Highway 12, are recommended for I-1 zoning The I-1 zoning along the
highway corridor will provide for industrial uses that would be less intense than those
permitted in the 1-2 zoning district, thereby creating less of a visual impact from the
highway
Those properties lying north of "A" Street and south of Lewis Street are developed with a
variety of land uses, ranging from single and multi-family residential up to salvage yards
As a result there is no clear answer to the type of zoning that would be most appropriate
for this area
Properties along Lewis Street are presently zoned C-1 and I-1 by the County with I-1
zoning occupying a good portion of the southeastern section of the area between Lewis and
"A" Street, while the southwesterly portion is currently zoned Sub -1 (one acre single family)
The County's comprehensive plan designates the area along Lewis Street as a future
commercial area, properties along "A" Street are designated for industrial purposes and the
properties in the center of this area are designated for urban residential uses The City's
comprehensive plan is somewhat consistent with the County in relationship to commercial
development on Lewis Street but designates most of the properties fronting "A" Street as
industrial The City's plan calls for a smaller area of medium density residential directly
east of Cedar Avenue After considering existing land use, the lack of public infrastructure,
major transportation corridors and the designation of land use through the City and County
Comprehensive Plans, the Planning Commission made the following recommendations
Residential properties along Lewis Street should be zoned R-2, the commercial activities
along Lewis Street and the properties fronting Highway 12 should be zoned C-3 The
balance of the properties should be zoned R-T

Planning Commission

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Pre-zone Port of Pasco - Annexation Area (MF #93-73-Z) Mr
McDonald, Director of Community Development, addressed Council
and noted for the record that notice of the public hearing was
published as required by law and notices were mailed to the affected
property owners
This hearing is set for the purpose of considering recommendations
made by the Planning Commission relative to the properties in
question, and to hold the first of two required statutory hearings for
the establishment of zoning outside the corporate limits of the City
In the past the Planning Commission and the City Council have looked
at existing land use, the Comprehensive Plan of both the City and the
County, and the zoning of the County In this particular case the Port
area's existing land use is industrial in nature The County's
Comprehensive Plan shows the entire area as a future industrial area
and has zoned it accordingly While considering these facts the
Planning Commission has recommended that the Big Pasco Industrial
Park be zoned 1-3 with a small buffer I-1 for the western edge along
the residential area and the Boat Basin The Sacajawea Park area and
the tank farms were recommended as 1-2 Those areas adjacent to
Highway 12 were recommended as another buffer strip and be zoned
I-1 The Planning Commission recommended that the areas along the
Highway be zoned C-3, the areas along Lewis Street be zoned as
commercial, the area with homes and apartments be zoned R -2, and
the balance of the area be zoned residential transitional, which
permits a minimum of 5 acre lot
MAYOR PRO-TEM KILBURY DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN
TO CONSIDER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ZONING DISTRICTS FOR
ALL UNINCORPORATED PROPERTIES LYING SOUTH AND WEST OF
HIGHWAY 12 IN THE EVENT SUCH PROPERTIES BECOME
ANNEXED TO THE CITY OF PASCO
Mr Monty Stark, of 1311 Basin Loop Road, Burbank, is the owner of
property at 2640, 2650, and 2660 E Lewis Street He pointed out
that approximately 4 years ago he approached the County and it
rezoned the area as Heavy Industrial from his property line east,

REGULAR MEETING PASCO CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 22, 1994
however, the maps on display for the Council do not reflect this
information
Mr McDonald explained that he would be double-checking with the
County concerning zoning for that area
Mr Jim Toomey, manager of the Port of Pasco, wanted to express his
appreciation of Staff for their efforts on promoting an 1-3 zoning
designation for the Port area He also wanted to request that the City
designate, for a certain penod of time, that those designations that are
approved through the public hearing be locked in place for many tens
of years
Mr Bob Lawrence, of Bonnie Brae Apartments, wanted to express his
support of the proposed action
Mr Danny Henry, no address given, wanted to know what residential
transitional meant 9
Mr McDonald explained that an area zoned RT (residential
transitional) is an area where it's not clear exactly what will happen It
would allow residential structures, provided there is a minimum of 5
acres, a waiver would be required for water and sewer connections
Mr Don Norville, 2750 East Lewis Street, expressed his support for
the industrial zoning as proposed
Ms Nadine Hughes, of Yakima, explained that she owns property in
the area, but she doesn't know how much land is involved
Mr McDonald explained that he could figure that out for her after the
meeting
Mr Crutchfield wanted to remind Council that the impetus for the
pre-zoning in this case was advanced by the Port in relation to the
Port's consideration of petitioning for annexation as part of the
solution to obtain municipal water service for the Pasco Industrial
Center The pre-zoning regulation, authonzed in the annexation laws,
includes the authority to set a time period within which changes shall
not occur to the zoning districts designation
Mr Crutchfield also explained that the Port and City Staff have worked
out the essential ingredients of other conditions which were
considered appropriate given the Port's situation, the Industrial
Center and the nature of the businesses there, the fact that the Port
owns the streets in the Industrial Center and they would not want the
City regulating the usage of those streets within the Industrial Center
There are ways to insure that it doesn't become a problem for the
Port The list of conditions would not be contained in the pre-zoning
regulation It would be necessary to include these in a separate
agreement
Mr Toomey explained that the proposed designation of 1-3 seemed to
calm the concerns of the Port tenants
Following three (3) calls from Mayor Pro-tern Kilbury for further
comments from the floor, either for or agamst, the public hearing was
declared closed
MOTION Mr Garrison moved to accept the Planning Commission's
recommendations and set 8 00 p m, Monday, April 4, 1994, as the
time and place for a public hearing to adopt an ordinance establishing
zoning Mr Lathim seconded the motion

Pasco WA 99301
BACKGROUND
REQUEST Establish a zoning recommendation for the Port of Pasco, Sacajawea park,
Chevron tank farm and the area between Lewis street and "A" street lying east
of Cedar avenue in the event the area is annexed to the City of Pasco
FINDINGS OF FACT
1) AREA SIZE Approximately 24 square miles
2) ACCESS The numerous streets which provide access to the area are as
follows Lewis street, "A" street, Cedar avenue, Ainsworth avenue,
Sacajawea park road and Highway 12
3) UTILITIES Municipal water is currently available to a portion of the
properties lying south of "A" street
4) LAND USE AND ZONING The area contains a wide variety of land uses
ranging from manufacturing, storage, petroleum tank farm, trucking, salvage
yards, residences both single family and multi family and a State park
5) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CITY The comprehensive plan designates the Port of Pasco area, the Chevron
tank farm and the eastern 2/3 of the area between Lewis street and "A" street as
Industrial The Sacajawea park area is designated as Recreation/Public and the
western 1/3 of the Lewis street and "A" street area as Medium Density
Residential
COUNTY The comprehensive plan designates the area fronting Lewis street as
Commercial, the area fronting "A" street as Industrial and the area between the
Commercial and Industrial designations as Urban Residential
6) ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION This proposal has been issued
a determination of nonsignificance in accordance with review under the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43 21(c) RCW
For clarity purposes the establishment of a zoning recommendation for the Port of
Pasco/Chevron/ Sacajawea park area will be treated first then the area between Lewis street
and "A" street lying east of Cedar avenue will be reviewed Factors involved in the
recommendation include current land uses, anticipated land uses, current zoning,
comprehensive plan designations for both the City and County, existing and potential non-
conforming uses, the transportation network and the availability of utilities
PORT of PASCO-SACAJAWEA PARK-CHEVRON TANK FARM
This area contains the "Big Pasco" complex, Sacajawea park, the Chevron tank farm and a
good deal of vacant land The area is currently zoned and designated as Industrial by Franklin
County The city's comprehensive plan also designates the area as Industrial The developed
land uses in the area are industrial in nature, with the exception of Sacajawea park The Port of
Pasco has utilized the existing structures to established a multi-modal transportation,
manufacturing and warehousing facility Chevron has also developed a heavy industrial use
with the tank farm on Sacajawea road between "Big Pasco", Highway 12 and the Snake river
In establishment of municipal zoning the Planning Commission should consider current land
use and zoning, comprehensive plans and existing and proposed infrastructure The impact on
the existing residential district to the west of the area needs to be considered during this
process
Considering the facts that the area is
Designated by both the City and County comprehensive plans as Industnal
Developed as an industnal area
Currently zoned Industrial by Franklin County
Staff recommends the "Big Pasco" area be zoned 1-3, the Sacajawea park area and the Chevron
tank farm area be zoned 1-2 and that I-1 buffers be established on the western 500' of the Port
of Pasco property and the eastern 300' of the tank farm area lying north of Sacajawea road
(SEE EXHIBIT #1)
LEWIS STREET and "A" STREET AREA
This area contains a variety of land uses ranging for single family and multi-family residential,
commercial businesses, salvage yards, outdoor retail and a large amount of vacant land The
area is currently zoned by the County as C-1 fronting Lewis, I-1 in southeastern portion and
SUB-1 in the southwestern portion The County comprehensive plans designates the area
fronting Lewis street as Commercial, the area fronting "A" street as Industrial and the portion
between the two streets as urban Residential The City's comprehensive plan is consistent with
the counties in relationship to the Commercial designation but differs from the County's
because the City plan designates most of area fronting "A" street as Industrial and contains a
smaller Medium Density Residential designation The County's Urban Residential designation
calls for 10 units per acre whereas the City's designation of Medium Density Residential calls
for development not exceeding 15 units per acre
Currently the salvage yards and the single-family dwelling units fronting Lewis street are non-
conforming uses and the Bonnie Brea apartments could be a non-conforming use unless a
special permit has been issued ( Franklin County could not venfy this information) Since these
uses are already non- conforming, the Planning Commission should not be concerned with
the creation of a non-conforming situation
The availability of utilities such as municipal sewer and water to this area is basically non-
existent and the City does not have any short term or long term plans to change this situation
Considering the lack of utilities, a major portion of the site should be zoned as RT (Residential
Transition) which would act as a holding zone until such time as utilities are extended to the
area The existing commercial activities should receive a commercial zoning designation such
as C-3 (General Business) to allow the uses consistent with the comprehensive plan to
continue The residences along Cedar avenue and Lewis street should receive a residential
designation such as R-2 (Medium Density Residential) to allow the uses to remain as permitted
uses The salvage yards are already non-conforming uses and considering Lewis street is an
entrance to the community these uses should not be encouraged to remain The C-3 designation
will eventually achieve this goal while still allowing several viable uses
Considering the facts that this area is
Designated by both the City and County comprehensive plans as Commercial, Urban/Medium
Density Residential
Abuts major transportation corridors such as Highway 12, Lewis street and "A" street

designations?
Jim Toomey, representative of the Port of Pasco, was present to speak in
favor of the proposal Mr Toomey stated he was in favor of the 1-3 zoning
designation being placed on most of the Port's property and did not have a
problem with the 1-1 designation on the far western edge for this would act as a
buffer
