MAYOR JACKSON DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER AMENDMENT OF SECTION 22.20.020 OF THE PASCO MUNICIPAL CODE, CONCERNING THE CITY'S ZONING MAP. The City Attorney stated it was recently discovered that the requirement of Section 22.20.020 ZONING MAP, requiring the official City zoning map to be filed in the Office of the County Auditor has not been followed since the late 1970's. The requirement is not a requirement of State Law. Staff feels that it makes much more practical sense to keep the official map on file with the Office of City Clerk where it is much more affordable to City Staff and available for the making of amendments. There is no additional inconvenience to the public in that City zoning matters should be addressed at City Hall rather than the County Court House.
