Mr. Pat Magula, 7816 W. Argent, asked why a pump station was
allowed in a Residential zone for the purpose of commercial
agricultural uses without going through a permit process.
Further, the pump station is not utility owned, but owned by a
private investor, Tom Kidwell; the pump station was installed
without going through permit process, and even though Mr. Kidwell
had withdrawn his application, the pump station remains in use.
On behalf of himself and surrounding neighbors, he expressed

REGULAR MEETING PASCO CITY COUNCIL MAY 21, 1990
Following three (3) calls from Mayor Jackson for further comments
from the floor, either for or against, the public hearing was
declared closed.
ORDINANCE NO. 2777.
AN ORDINANCE VACATING A CERTAIN ALLEY IN BLOCK 16,
STADIUM PARK ADDITION TO THE CITY OF PASCO.
Ordinance No. 2777 was read by title only. Mr. Hendler moved to
adopt Ordinance No. 2777, vacating a certain alley right-of-way
in Block 16, Stadium Park Addition.
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.
