MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 6, 1983 PUBLIC HEARING - Continued The proposed Ordinance would officially declare the policy that private impervious surfaces must be designed to contain storm water within the private property and would require a permit The Ordinance would also exempt minor pavement areas (1,000 square feet is equivalent to four parking spaces) and any impervious surfaces installed in relation to an existing or future single family dwelling Because there are a variety of methods which could be used to drain on- site water (drywells, landscape area, storage area, or combinations thereof), the proposed Ordinance provides a general requirement that the drainage provisions simply be adequate, without spelling out certain ways in which drainage must be accommodated Mr Earl Warren called attention to the fact that City Hall, Seattle First National Bank nor Safeway Store drains into the storm sewer To this statement, Mr Morgan responded that we need to get an Ordinance into effect so that this problem does not continue Following three (3) calls from Mayor Pro Tern Schmidt for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed ORDINANCE NO 2465 AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION BY ENACTING A NEW PASCO MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 16 05 ENTITLED, "IMPERVIOUS SURFACES " Ordinance No 2465 was read by title only Mr Grigg moved to adopt Ordinance No 2465, requiring paved areas on private property to include adequate on-site drainage provisions and establishing a permit system therefor Seconded by Mr Jackson Motion carried by roll call vote of six (6) MAYOR PRO TEM SCHMIDT DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 22 68 OF THE PASCO MUNICIPAL CODE DEALING WITH MASSAGE PARLORS It was noted that the hearing had been duly published as required There were no adverse communications received The City Attorney stated that the present zoning Ordinance, PMC Title 22, considers massage parlors together with other"adult businesses" such as adult bookstores, adult motion picture theatres, tatto parlors and the like Among other regulations, massage parlors are prohibited in the C-1, C-2 and C-1D Commercial districts The prohibition is more related to moral and value characteristics associated with the historical massage parlor than land use considerations The proposed Ordinance, subsequent to extensive revising of licensing regulations pertaining to massage parlors, corrects the disservice that would be caused to legitimate massage operators if zoning regulations continue to categorize such operators with adult businesses A retired physician residing in Pasco desires to operate a business where he would perform both physical therapy and massage to interested members of the public Present zoning regulations prohibit him from operating at either of two locations, zoned C-1, which would meet his needs Mrs Ann Lye, representing Pasco Chamber of Commerce, urged careful consideration of such an Ordinance in view of past experiences Further, she questioned why this had not been before the Planning Commission Mr Sterl Adams concurred that reputable M D 's should be able to give massage therapy as part of their practice and not be lumped with massage parlors Councilman Morgan asked the City Attorney if we were dealing with zone only and not changing the original Massage Ordinance in any way The Attorney replied affirmative Also, Pasco's Ordinance is among the "toughest" in the State Following three (3) calls from Mayor Pro Tern Schmidt for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 6, 1983 PUBLIC HEARING - Continued ORDINANCE NO 2466 AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING THE ZONING OF MASSAGE BUSINESSES AND AMENDING SECTION 22 68 020 OF THE PASCO MUNICIPAL CODE Ordinance No 2466 was read by title only Mr Grigg moved to adopt Ordinance No 2466, revising the zoning regulations pertaining to massage parlors Seconded by Mr Jackson.
