PUBLIC HEARING
MAYOR SNIDER DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER THE PLANNING
COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION TO REQUIRE SCREENING OF OUTDOOR STORAGE IN THE
COLUMBIA EAST COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL AREA
It was noted that the hearing had been duly published and posted There were
no written adverse communications received
Mr Gary Crutchfield, Director of Community Development, stated that the
Landscaping/Screening Ordinance, adopted by the City over two years ago
established the requirement that outdoor storage facilities in commercial or
industrial zones be screened from certain adjacent streets Those streets are
listed in PMC, Section 22 82 050 (b)
Since the adoption of the Ordinance, the entire Columbia East Commercial/Industrial
area has been created through L I D and the streets serving that area have been
installed and named In order to keep the Ordinance current with respect to new
developments, the section which lists certain streets should be amended to include
those streets created over the past couple of years in the Columbia East Commercial/
Industrial area Such an amendment can be accomplished by adding the following
named streets to PMC 22 82 050 (b)
1 Commercial Avenue
2 Capitol Avenue
3. King Avenue
4 Hillsboro Street, east of Highway 395
5 St Helens Street, east of Highway 395

PASCO CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING
JANUARY 4, 1982
PUBLIC HEARING - Continued
Staff originally planned to present the foregoing amendment next summer in
conjunction with amendment of the commercial/industrial zoning districts
However, new construction is anticipated to occur in the Columbia East Commercial/
Industrial area in the spring and summer of 1982 and one of the owners in the
Columbia East area has indicated some difficulty in gaining concurrence from
perspective developers to comply with the screening requirement unless it is
spelled out in the City's Zoning Ordinance Therefore, staff has presented the amendment for your review.
Normal procedure would dictate a public hearing conducted by the Planning
Commission, following which the Commission would issue its recommendation to
the City Council for their action without further public hearing However, due
to the desire of the forementioned property owner to establish the screening
requirement along streets in the Columbia East Commercial/Industrial area before
the new developments take place, the Commission could review the amendment without
public hearing, forward the proposed amendment with the recommendation that the
City Council conduct a public hearing, and if deemed appropriate, enact the
amendment. This alternative procedure reduces the time period by one month
Otherwise, the Commission would conduct a hearing at their January meeting and
the council would receive the recommendation in early February
Following presentation by Mr Crutchfield, the City Clerk read letter from
Bob Tippett of Tippett Land & Mortgage Company, encouraging passage of an
Ordinance for site obscuring fencing and the enforcement thereof, as opposed
to protective covenants
Mr Dale Kinsley, owner of property in Columbia East area, supported passage
of such an Ordinance
Following three (3) calls from Mayor Snider for further comments from the
floor, either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed.
