Chairman Cruz read a statement about the appearance of fairness for hearings on land use
matters. There were no declarations.
Chairman Cruz then asked the audience if there were any objections based on a conflict of
interest or appearance of fairness question regarding the items to be discussed. There were
no objections.
ADMINISTERING THE OATH:
Chairman Cruz explained that state law requires testimony in quasi-judicial hearings such
as held by the Planning Commission be given under oath or affirmation. Chairman Cruz
swore in all those desiring to speak.

Commissioner Bykonen moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway that the minutes
dated January 18, 2018 be approved. The motion passed unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS:
A. Preliminary Plat Northridge Estates, 72 -Lots (Sunbelt Homes LLC)
(MF# PP 2017-010)
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Darcy Bourcier, Planner I, discussed the preliminary plat for Northridge Estates, 72 -Lots.
There were a few updates in the staff report since the previous meeting. There was concern
about a 30' road easement on Curlew Lane between the south end of the plat and Overton
Road and whether a 28' paved road could be placed in that easement. However, Curlew Lane
is dedicated right-of-way and will be built to County standards. Also, a condition was added
-1-
to include a common area maintenance fee which is often standard. Staff had no further
comments.
Commissioner Bowers moved, seconded by Commissioner Roach, to adopt the findings of fact
and conclusions, therefrom, as contained in the February 15, 2018 staff report. The motion
passed unanimously.
Commissioner Bowers moved, seconded by Commissioner Roach, based on the findings of
fact and conclusions, as adopted, the Planning Commission recommend the City Council
approve the preliminary plat for Northridge Estates, with conditions as listed in the February
15, 2018 staff report. The motion passed unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Special Permit Location of a Recreation Complex in an RS -1 Zoning
District (JUB Engineers, Inc.) (MF# SP 2017-022) -
Re -opened
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Ms. Bourcier discussed the special permit application for the location of a recreation complex
in an RS -1 Zoning District. The last time the Commission saw this application was in
December 2017 and a lot has changed his that time. The proposed location has been moved
back to the southwest comer. Last year, JUB Engineers, Inc. had been granted a special
permit for the soccer complex that was in this location but situated slightly different. JUB
Engineers, Inc. proposes to short plat this 119 acre parcel in order to separate from the
development area and the irrigation canal that runs through the property. This way the
development area will sit on its own parcel. When they develop the soccer complex they will
be required to complete frontage improvements along Burns Road in front of the original
parcel, however, a traffic impact study will be required to determine the extent of those
improvements and how it will be phased. JUB Engineers Inc. is also required to improve the
north/south collector street at the west property line only up to the northwest corner of the
development area. They will also be required to connect to a septic system.
Passed out to the Commissioner's was an updated list of approval conditions. Condition
number 6 has been changed from requiring frontage improvements on Bums Road at the
time of short platting to allowing frontage improvements to occur in phases at the time the
soccer complex is developed. Development will trigger those improvements, not the short
platting itself. Condition 9 had stated that fencing must be installed along all street
frontages but it has been changed to appropriate fencing must be installed along the
north/south collector street adjacent to the western most fields. A new condition, Condition
16 has been added for a traffic impact study to determine improvement phasing on Burns
Road. The expiration date on the special permit has been changed from December 30, 2018
to December 30, 2019.
Staff recommends closing the hearing and making a recommendation for City Council.
Daryl Moore, JUB Engineers, Inc., 2810 W. Clearwater Avenue, Kennewick, WA spoke on
behalf of his application. He stated that he was in agreement with the new approval
conditions after meeting with staff and working out the issues they had with the prior
conditions. He briefly discussed the process of phasing the improvements and how the traffic
W -a
impact study will determine the phasing. Ultimately Burns Road will be completed the whole
way but it may be broken up into phases.
Chairman Cruz thanked the applicant in working with City Staff and asked if he was in
agreement with the approval conditions as they are in the current staff report.
Mr. Moore said that they are in agreement with the conditions and that there is nothing more
that they can do.
Commissioner Bowers asked about the field lighting in which the staff report noted that it
could not exceed 10:00 p.m. and if that was when all activities would end.
Mr. Moore said yes, activities would end by 10:00 p.m. Typically 9:00 p.m. will be the latest.
Chairman Cruz added that 10:00 p.m. is also when the noise ordinance begins.
Ms. Bourcier added that condition 15 states that and amendment must be made to the
special permit prior to adding field lighting.
Tony Bachart, 703 Kohler Road, spoke on this item. He addressed his concern for traffic and
asked how the traffic impact study would work and if it would take into account the current
development that has been happening in that area.
Chairman Cruz responded that he was pretty sure it was for the whole area and anticipates
future traffic. They would have to get a lot of information from the City and County as to
what is in the works.
Mr. Bachart said that there has been no mention of what is going on at Burns Road and
Broadmoor Boulevard and while it may not be this developer's responsibility, the City should
look into that.
Chairman Cruz asked staff if that intersection on Burns Road and Broadmoor Boulevard is in
the City's plan to improve already.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, replied that it is and the plats
with the upcoming schools have the condition that requires participation in signalization.
The School District will also be doing a traffic impact study. The Broadmoor Area property to
the south is undergoing a complete non -project EIS (Environmental Impact Study) and
master plan.
With no further questions or comments the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Roach moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to adopt the findings of
fact and conclusions, therefrom, as contained in the February 15, 2018 staff report. The
motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Roach moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, based on the findings
of fact and conclusions therefrom, the Planning Commission recommend the City Council
grant a special permit to JUB Engineers, Inc. for the location of a recreation complex in the
-3-
10700 block of Burns Road with conditions as contained in the February 15, 2018 staff
report. The motion passed unanimously.
B. Special Permit Location of Fire Department Training Structures in
an I-3 (Heavy Industrial Zone) (Pasco Fire
Department) (MF# SP 2018-001)
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Darcy Bourcier, Planner I, discussed the special permit for the location of a Fire Department
Training Structure in an I-3 Zone. The Fire Department was awarded a grant through FEMA
to build a modular training tower on a parcel located adjacent to the Pasco Fire Department
Administration Office. They have secured a long-term lease with the Port of Pasco and
propose to transform 1 acre of the 20 acre parcel into a training facility. A 40' tower will be
built by a company that builds training towers out of shipping containers. There will also be
a restroom facility in the future. There will be live fire burning in accordance with the WA
State Department of Ecology but for the most part training will not involve fire. Any burning
will use permitted wood products and will require burn permits. Training will occur 1-5
times a month during business hours. There may be 4-16 people plus fire trucks accessing
the site during those times. The Fire Department will be using a drainage system to catch
excess water. They have stated that the site is well suited for building on as well as draining
water. Because this grant has a timeline, Staff is requesting the Planning Commission close
the public hearing and make a recommendation to City Council.
With no further questions or comments the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Campos added that he thought this was a neat facility to have in the City of
Pasco.
Chairman Cruz agreed.
Commissioner Roach asked what a French Draining System is.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, stated that it is essentially gravel
and there is a slope for water to drain to it that percolates down and is a preferred method of
storm water drainage.
Commissioner Campos moved, seconded by Commissioner Bowers, to close the hearing on
the proposed special permit and adopt findings of fact and conclusions, therefrom, as
contained in the February 15, 2018 staff report. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Campos moved, seconded by Commissioner Bowers, based on the findings of
fact as adopted, the Planning Commission recommend the City Council grant a special
permit to the Pasco Fire Department for the location of a fire training facility on parcel
#112420023 with conditions as contained in the February 15, 2018 staff report. The motion
passed unanimously.
WORKSHOP:
A -C. Comp. Plan Amendment 2018 Comprehensive Plan Updates - Urban Growth
Boundary, Land Use Policies & Comprehensive Plan
M
Elements (MF# CPA 2017-001)
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, discussed the 2018
Comprehensive Plan Updates for the Urban Growth Boundary, Land Use Policies and Plan
Elements. The City of Pasco has received from the OFM (Office of Financial Management)
growth management population figures and they indicate that the moderate growth
projection for the next 20 years puts Pasco's population at 122,000 in 2038. That is an
increase of 50,000 people. In the past, the Tri -Cities has surpassed the moderate growth
projections. The staff report includes maps and discussion that indicates some of the factors
that go into the calculations for the Urban Growth Area. Essentially it's an inventory of
where we are today, taking into account residential family size per dwelling unit, an average
lot size for single-family homes, a factor for multi -family developments and a factor for
market rates. Also thrown into the mix is everything else that is needed, such as; roads,
public facilities, schools, stonn retention ponds, etc. There are more factors and details in
the staff report. It shows that the City can justify an 11 square mile urban growth area
amendment.
Mr. White indicated on an overhead map where the City is currently proposing to amend the
Urban Growth Boundary - moving the boundary mostly to the north near Fanning Road and
Selph Landing and northeast near Road 52. He also referenced a second map on the
overhead with a 6.6 square mile urban growth boundary addendum assigning the maximum
amount of development in the existing urban growth boundary and within the Broadmoor
Area. Although unlikely, if 5,000 units are developed in the Broadmoor area and the rest of
the current boundary area fills in, the City could get by with the 6.6 square mile urban
growth boundary. The reason these are important numbers is because the Growth
Management Act is very clear that growth is one thing but paying for it is another and the
public investment is always going to precede private investment. There is no private
developer that is going to install trunk corridor sewer lines throughout a 6.6 square mile
urban boundary. The City has to be able to pay for where we go with the urban boundaries.
It will likely end up between 6.6-11 square miles.
The purpose of the workshop is to get the information into the Planning Commission's hands
although there is no decision expected at this time. In the future there will be public
workshops so that the public can weigh in on the urban boundaries and the policies and
elements.
In terms of policies, Staff is not proposing anything different but there have been some
revisions to reflect what is currently happening as opposed to 2008. But there has been
nothing proposed to override what the City has been using the Comprehensive Plan for. If
there is a desire for a change in direction, now would be the time to formulate that to be
considered. The City has not entertained any individual requests for land use changes in the
urban growth boundary at this time but there will probably be some out there to request a
land use zoning change for their property. Those will come to the Planning Commission at a
later time.
The public has not been directly notified by mail of the urban growth boundary amendment
proposal at this time either - people in the 6.6 square mile or 11 square mile area. They will
be notified at a later date as well with a chance to voice their input. The reason is because
there is still a great level of flux in the plans. Even at the senior staff level there has still
been discussion on what is included, left out and what are the long term implications.
-5-
Mr. White briefly discussed the reason behind the proposed 11 square mile urban growth
boundary line adjustments and gave some history behind some of the property not included
in the proposed change as well as some discussion on property Staff has been trying to
determine whether or not to take out of current urban growth boundary.
Commissioner Bowers stated that she didn't see any mention about recycling facilities and
wondered if there would be space allocated for recycling.
Mr. White responded that the City doesn't typically devote space for recycling because that
use is handled by the City's franchise agreement disposal carrier. It's probably insignificant
enough in 11 square miles that it doesn't get its own mention.
Chairman Cruz asked if recycling was an essential public use.
Mr. White replied that it depends, various attorneys have different opinions, but yes. It is
essentially a public facility.
Chairman Cruz added from that perspective that it would be "protected".
Commissioner Roach stated that in the subtext regarding the growth of multi -family housing
and that it is currently at 16% and increasing. She asked if that was a conservative
projection for multi -family housing and if the City was looking to increase the projection of
multi -family housing. While not a popular idea in Pasco, she asked if it would be a more
tactical way to approach the density issues.
Mr. White said it is mostly an inventory of where the City is at now. Pasco has very little
multi -family housing, which is probably true for all of the Tri -Cities. At the TRIDEC
Economic Review it was discussed by many speakers and that multi -family development can
be a very important part of solving the density issues. Material costs continue to increase for
single-family homes and people are astounded at the land costs. Part of the Broadmoor Area
effort is to change some of the density. A lot of the multi -family issues stem from the way it
has been done. Multi -family typically means apartments in Pasco but there are other types.
Much of this is because there aren't close enough places for people to walk to for necessities,
such as groceries. Broadmoor will potentially solve some of that problem. There will
probably an amendment or two in this cycle to increase density.
Commissioner Roach wanted to state that apartments aren't just for lower socio-economic
individuals. Often times they are for students or young professionals. Many people have a
stereotypical view of who lives in multi -family housing. With CBC and WSU there needs to be
housing for students in addition to the dorms CBC has built.
Commissioner Campos added that WSU Tri -Cities has broken ground to build dorms,
although in Richland.
Commissioner Roach said that in the flipside Pasco has many citizens who appreciate the
more rural style of living who are going to feel encroached upon because they are living in
northern Pasco for a reason and they like the open land and space which will soon be closing
in on them so it is important to make them aware and a part of the process.
Chairman Cruz added that it will come down to economics. He compared home prices in
Seattle to the Tri -Cities. In the Tri -Cities, home prices are affordable making it desirable to
live here. Without new development and growth to accommodate the increase in population,
home prices will continue to drive upward. Apartments will work well in accommodating
go
population growth as well as homes with joined property lines.
Mr. White said that is a good example of other types of multi -family housing, such as the row
homes by Walmart and to the north of Walgreens.
Chairman Cruz said they have to remember to have a diversity of housing. Broadmoor will
be a chance to really to it right. Communication with the developers and public will be
important in this process so they will at least now what they can do with the land they are
looking to purchase.
Commissioner Roach asked for clarification on the potential fully developed 6.6 square miles
in the urban growth boundary and if it was all for residential or if it included commercial and
other land uses.
Mr. White replied that it is based on the zoning designations today to full build out so it
would include other land uses such as commercial as well as residential.
Commissioner Roach asked what the process is in relation to the County and if they are
aware of the City's plans.
Mr. White said they are aware and it is one of the reasons to get the process going because
the County has a significant amount of work to do as well and the City has to give them
something to work with. The County actually has approval authority for the Urban Growth
Boundary.
On one final comment, Mr. White added that the median price of a single-family home in the
Tri -Cities was $260,000. The median price of a single-family home on the I-5 Corridor was
$700,000. That could explain why the multi -family inventory is so low.
With no further discussion or business, the Planning Commission was adjourned at 7:45
p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
David McDonald, City Planner

ANALYSIS
The Benton Franklin Community Action Committee (BFCAC) is requesting
approval to use two adjoining housing units for crisis/ emergency housing for
homeless families with children. According to Pasco Municipal Code (PMC)
25.12.151 and 25.12.156 the proposed use falls under the definition of a
Community Service Facility Level II, and as per PMC 25.86.020 requires
approval via the Special Permit process.
1
The properties comprise one 9 -bedroom and one 8 -bedroom unit located at
3907 and 3915 West Henry Street.
Each unit was built in 1995 and received a Special Permit to operate as an
assisted living center in 1997 as The Arbors. The center was subsequently
taken over and run by Americare Pasco 1 up until 2007, Agape Care Inc. (2008
to 2014), and Jubilee Care, Inc. (2014-2015).
The Special Permit conditions allowed for a maximum of 6 occupants in each
unit, not including the caretaker(s). Both Agape's 3907 W. Henry unit and
Jubilee's 3915 W. Henry unit Business License Applications specify 6 dedicated
bedrooms in each house for the use; The Jubilee application also identifies four
employees. The DSHS license for both Agape and Jubilee carried a 6 -adults
limit.
The CAC has expressed the desire to provide living quarters for up to 6 people
per unit, plus one live-in house leader per unit (7 total people).
Under the proposal families would use the facilities between 30 and 90 days
while searching for more permanent housing. The families will have an
assigned case manager and there would be a live-in housing leader.
Common areas would include the kitchen, living room, utilities, and
bathrooms. Families would have assigned bedroom(s) depending on family size,
with locking doors. Each family would be responsible for preparing their own
food and doing their own laundry.
According to Applicant, approval of these two units as crisis/ emergency
housing would increase the housing options for homeless families with children
and assist the cities to help meet the Ten Year Homeless Housing Plan for
Benton and Franklin Counties.
As well, the 2015-2019 Tri -Cities Consortium Consolidated Plan represents a
continuing collaboration of the three principal cities in developing a common
set of goals and directions to meet affordable housing, infrastructure,
community development and other needs. The Consolidated Plan provides the
community with an assessment of housing and community development needs
with a focus on low- and moderate -income persons (defined as households with
incomes falling below 80% of the HUD -defined Area Median Income, or AMI);
reviews of housing market conditions; established goals responding to priority
needs; and, a basis for developing annual plans to implement the Five -Year
Strategic Plan.
The following issues have been identified by the Consortium:
2
1. The need for housing assistance and affordable housing, including
housing for families in general and families of veterans, is clear from
input received for the Consolidated Plan.
2. One-third of those found homeless in the point -in -time count lived in
households with children.
3. The primary need of persons and families who are homeless is stable
housing. Most have specialized supportive services needs.
4. It is clear that additional housing resources are needed, particularly
transitional and rapid rehousing resources.
5. Families and others who are precariously housed in private housing face
significant barriers in remaining sheltered and housed.
6. Finding housing they can afford may mean living in substandard
housing or overcrowded conditions.
7. One method of preventing the descent into homelessness is to provide
rapid rehousing resources—housing that is immediately available to
prevent loss of housing.
CAC intends to lease the two housing units to implement and operate the
Rapid Engagement &, Empowerment Project (REEP). REEP will focus on quickly
moving unsheltered families into crisis/emergency housing while offering
flexible support services to promote the families' successful stabilization into
permanent housing.
Supportive services offered, such as family budgeting and resume writing, and
connection to community partners are intended to advance the family towards
self-sufficiency.
CAC has extensive experience in successfully providing services to homeless
families in the community. CAC staff is well-trained and provides a variety of
housing intervention and service options tailored to meet specific needs.
CAC provides emergency motel vouchers or transitional housing for
unsheltered families that are unable to access the community's single -persons
emergency shelter. The program accommodates families regardless of the
structure, keeping single -father families and families with male children over
12 together. Stabilizing the household allows the primary focus to be on
searching for and obtaining a permanent housing situation.
Families will be offered training to successfully search for permanent housing.
Staff works closely with the family and landlords to provide assistance with
locating appropriate stable housing.
3
Once housed, the family will be required to develop a Family Stability Plan
(FSP) and set appropriate goals. At regular intervals, predetermined
benchmarks will be compared to previous statistics to ensure the family is
moving towards project goals and objectives.
CAC is able to provide a wide array of additional services (e.g. housing
retention services, budgeting/ finances, orientation to neighborhood and
connection to activities of interest in neighborhood/ area; linkage to mental
health, chemical dependency, health & wellness services, job and/or education
services, etc.).
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS OF FACT
Findings of fact must be entered from the record. The following are initial
findings drawn from the background and analysis section of the staff report.
The Planning Commission may add additional findings to this listing as the
result of factual testimony and evidence submitted during the open record

wishes to locate crisis/ emergency housing for homeless families with
children in two adjoining housing units located at 3907 and 3915 West
Henry Street.
2. The CAC intends to lease the two housing units to implement and
operate the Rapid Engagement & Empowerment Project (REEP).
3. The REEP will focus on quickly moving unsheltered families into
crisis/ emergency housing while offering flexible support services to
promote the families' successful stabilization into permanent housing.
4. According to PMC 25.12.151 and 25.12.156 the proposed use falls under
the definition of a Community Service Facility Level II.
5. According to PMC 25.86.020 Community Service Facilities Level II
require Special Permit review.
6. The 2015-2019 Tri -Cities Consortium Consolidated Plan has identified The
need for housing assistance and affordable housing, including housing
for families in general and families of veterans.
7. According to the Consolidated Plan one-third of those found homeless in
the point -in -time count lived in households with children.
8. Also according to the Consolidated Plan the primary need of persons and
families who are homeless is stable housing. Most have need of
specialized supportive services.

• The Consolidated Plan points out that additional housing resources
are needed, particularly transitional and rapid rehousing
resources.
• The Consolidated Plan identifies families and others who are
precariously housed in private housing as facing significant
barriers to remaining sheltered and housed.
• The Consolidated Plan suggests that finding housing homeless
families can afford may mean living in substandard housing or
overcrowded conditions.

PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a special permit the Planning
Commission must develop findings of fact from which to draw its conclusion
based upon the criteria listed in P.M.C. 25.86.060 and determine whether or
not the proposal:
(1) Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives
and text of the Comprehensive Plan?
The site is identified in the Comprehensive Plan for residential uses. The
Plan encourages the promotion of orderly development including the
development of zoning standards for off-street parking and other
development standards. The proposed use may increase the density
beyond Comprehensive Plan designations for the area. CAC has indicated
a 6 -person -per-unit maximum capacity plus one caretaker each, which
may be a factor in necessary Fire Code improvements.
(2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure?
The site is served by all municipal utilities and the local street network.
The proposed crisis/emergency housing for homeless families with
children center will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Units
were designed for 6 persons each, plus staff; current proposed use may
increase the use beyond unit design.
(3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in
harmony with existing or intended character of the general vicinity?
The intended character of the area is primarily low-density residential.
The proposed use would operate as a crisis/emergency housing center,
increasing intensity of use and possibly density. Families may be moving
in and out of the units on a weekly basis, depending on the family
situation.
(4) Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site design
discourage the development of permitted uses on property in the general
vicinity or impair the value thereof
i
The proposed crisis/ emergency housing center would be located in an
existing structure in a fully developed neighborhood and run as a
Community Service Facility Level II in a residential zone. The use would
be more intensive than uses permitted in the RS -12 zone and other
previous uses.
(5) Will the operations in connection with the proposal be more objectionable to
nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes vibrations, dust, traffic, or
flashing lights than would be the operation of any permitted uses within the
district?
The proposed crisis/emergency housing center would most likely
generate more noise, fumes vibrations, dust, traffic, or flashing lights
than the operation of permitted uses within the RS -12 District.
(6) Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and
developed where proposed, or in any way become a nuisance to uses
permitted in the district?
The proposed crisis/emergency housing center may create nuisance
conditions perceived as nuisances due to higher traffic and frequent
changes of residents.
Although the Planning Commission will not make a recommendation until at
least April should the proposal carry forward, the following conditions should
be considered:
PROPOSED APPROVAL CONDITIONS
1) The special permit shall apply to 3907 & 3915 West Henry Street (Parcels
#119493219 & 119493228)
2) Number of persons housed shall not exceed 6 per unit.
3) Individuals and/or families shall not be moved in or out of the facilities
between the hours of 10:00 pm and 7:30 am.
4) The CAC shall enforce City of Pasco regulations as found in PMC 9.63
Chronic Nuisances.
5) This Special Permit shall be good for one (1) year from the date of
approval, subject to the standards found in PMC 9.63 Chronic Nuisances,
and shall be reviewed for renewal on a yearly basis thereafter.
6) The Special Permit shall be immediately revoked if nuisance levels exceed
the threshold level as per PMC 9.63 Chronic Nuisances for a single-family
dwelling unit.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
MASTER FILE NO: Z 2018-001 APPLICANT: Norman Family Cookies, LLC
HEARING DATE: 3/15/2018 1700 Selah Heights
ACTION DATE: 4/19/2018 Selah, WA 98942
REQUEST: REZONE: Rezone two parcels from R-2 (Medium -Density
Residential) to R-3 (Medium -Density Residential)
1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Legzal: Parcel #1: N 248.71' of NW4NW4SE4 28-9-30, Exc W 228.71' 8y
Exc Rds
Parcel #2: Ptn 28-9-30 DAF; S 90' of N 338.71' of NW4NW4SE4
General Location: At the southeast corner of E Lewis St and S Cedar Ave
Property Size: Approximately 3.5 acres.
2. ACCESS: The parcels are accessible from E Lewis St and S Cedar Ave.
3. UTILITIES: All municipal utilities are available to serve the site.
4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The lot is currently zoned R-2 (Medium -
Density Residential) and is vacant. Surrounding properties are zoned
and developed as follows:
NORTH: C -1/C-3 - Vacant
SOUTH: R-2 - Vacant
EAST: R-2 - Vacant
WEST: C-1 - Vacant
5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates the site
for either Mixed -Residential or Commercial uses. Goal LU -3-E
encourages the City to designate areas for higher density residential
development where utilities and other facilities enable efficient use of
capital resources. Other goals and policies suggest the City permit a full
range of residential environments including multi -family homes (H -2-A)
and standards that control the scale and density of accessory buildings
and homes to maintain compatibility with other residential uses (H -4-B).
6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead
agency for this project. An environmental determination will be made
after the public hearing for this project. A Determination of Non -
Significance or Mitigated Determination of Non -Significance is likely for
this application (WAC 197-11-355).
ANALYSIS
The site has been designated for Mixed Residential development since it was
annexed into the City in 1994; however, the three houses, multi -family units,
and various other structures located on the parcels have existed at least since
the 1940s. Since then, the two parcels have been used as residential rentals
and a mobile home park and have been the site of numerous code violation
issues. Thus, the current owner and applicant of the two parcels is seeking a
rezone in order to develop the lots with new middle-income town- homes. He
hopes that, by improving the site, other businesses and housing developers will
be drawn to the area.
Of the allowable zones under the Mixed Residential designation (RS -20, RS -12,
RS -1, R-1, R-2, and R-3), R-3 zoning permits the highest residential density at
a rate of one multi -family dwelling unit for every 3,000 ft2 of land area or 14.5
units per acre. For comparison, the current classification of R-2 permits an
approximate density of 8 -units per acre. Currently the site totals 152,467 ft2 in
area; barring any required right-of-way dedications R-3 zoning will allow up to
50 dwelling units. However, this number doesn't take into account parking,
setback, and landscaping requirements.
In the event of approval of the rezone, the applicant intends to develop the site
with as many as eleven fourplexes with small yard areas. During the time of
development, the City also requires full improvement of right-of-way including
curb, gutter, and sidewalk. The site is located on an arterial street which is
favorable for future residents and visitors of the proposed development. The
applicant has expressed interest in either a boundary line adjustment or
combining the parcels before development in order to achieve a favorable site
layout.
The initial review criteria for considering a rezone application are explained in
PMC. 25.88.030. The criteria are listed below as follows:
1. The date the existing zone became effective:
The current zoning classification was established in 1994 when the property
was annexed to the City.
2. The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional
zoning:
When the property was annexed, it was designated for mixed -residential
development, which includes RS -20, RS -12, RS -1, R-1, R-2, and R-3. By rezoning
the property to increase the density, the applicant is in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan.
2
3. Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health,
safety and general welfare:
The proposed zoning request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan which
has been determined to be in the best interest of advancing public health, safety
and general welfare of the community. The rezone will lead to the creation of
another residential neighborhoods or commercial businesses providing housing
and job opportunities for Pasco residents.
4. The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent property
and the Comprehensive Plan:
A change in zoning classification may ultimately result in the establishment of a
multi family residential apartment complex consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan. The rezone may improve the value of commercial property on E Lewis St
and will have minimal to no impact on current and future residential
development in the area.
5. The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
The property owners may choose to develop the property under the current R-2
zoning designation, but the number of housing units would be diminished as a
result. Rezoning the property to R-3 would allow a greater number of units and
the possibility of street improvements adjacent the property.
STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Findings of fact must be entered from the record. The following are initial
findings drawn from the background and analysis section of the staff report.
The Planning Commission may add additional findings to this listing as the
result of factual testimony and evidence submitted during the open record
hearing.
1. The site contains three small houses, multi -family units, and various
other small structures that have existed at least since the 1940s.
2. The site was annexed in 1994.
3. The site contains two parcels equaling 3.5 acres.
4. The site is currently zoned R-2 (Medium -Density Residential).
5. Properties to the south and east are zoned R-2 and are vacant.
6. Properties to the north and west are zoned C-1 and C-3 and are vacant.
7. The site is located at the southeast corner of E Lewis St and S Cedar Ave.
3
8. The applicant is requesting R-3 (Medium -Density Residential) zoning.
9. R-3 zoning permits the highest residential density at a rate of one
dwelling unit for every 3,000 ftz of land area or 14.5 units per acre.
10. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for Mixed Residential uses
which includes R-3 zoning. The Mixed Residential designation includes
zones RS -20, RS -12, RS -1, R-1, R-2, and R-3.
11. In the event of a rezone, the applicant would like to develop the property
with new middle-income townhomes complete with small yard areas.
12. The property has been the site of numerous code violations.
CONCLUSIONS BASED ON STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a special permit the Planning
Commission must develop findings of fact from which to draw its conclusions
based upon the criteria listed in PMC 25.86.060. The criteria are as follows:
1. The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and
several Plan policies and goals. H -2-A suggests the City permit a full range of
residential environments. Housing Policy (H -B -A) encourages standards that
control the scale and density of accessory buildings and homes to maintain
compatibility with other residential uses.
2. The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially
detrimental.
The immediate area is shown in the Comprehensive Plan for Mixed Residential
zoning as well as Commercial zoning. Mixed Residential zoning permits the R-3
(Medium -Density) zoning district. The proposed rezone is consistent with the
referenced plans and will not be detrimental to future nearby developments that
will need to conform to the provision of the plans.
3. There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.
There is merit in developing parcels within the City in accordance with the goals
and policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed zoning is
consistent with the Plan's Land Use Map. Providing an increased range of
housing opportunities available in those areas currently served by municipal
utilities and public transportation benefits the community as a whole and will
enable efficient use of capital resources. The proposal is supported by land use
goals and policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
4. Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant
adverse impacts from the proposal.
S
The Pasco Municipal Code includes design standards for residential and
commercial development. If or when the applicant pursues the re -development of
this property, he will be required to conform to design standards established by
the PMC. No special conditions are proposed.
5. A Concomitant Agreement should be entered into between the City and
the petitioner, and if so, the terms and conditions of such an agreement.
A Concomitant Agreement is not considered necessary for this application;
however, design standards for the proposed units would be an appropriate use
of a Concomitant Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
MOTION: I move to close the hearing on the proposed rezone and set April
19, 2018 as the date for deliberations and the development of a
recommendation for the City Council.

Overview
The overall goal of the City of Pasco's Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) and the
Tri -Cities HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) is to develop a strong community with the
provision of decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities.
The 2017 Annual Action Plan represents the third year of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan and
summarizes the activities that were planned for the period January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 to meet
community development and housing needs identified in the five-year Consolidated Plan. The Annual
Action Plan provides specific details of investments in activities, describes the geographic area in which
the programs are available and the nature of the impact the City hopes to achieve through the programs.
The City of Pasco certifies it is following a current HUD -approved Consolidated Plan, and has pursued all
resources that were proposed in the Plan. It has fairly and impartially provided requested certifications of
consistency as specified in the Plan, and has not hindered implementation of the Consolidated Plan.
HUD's Community Development Block Grant regulations require Grantees to submit a "Consolidated
Annual Performance and Evaluation Report" (CAPER) to HUD within 90 days of the close of a Grantee's
Program Year (December 31, 2017). This requirement, set forth in 24 CFR Part 91, reports to HUD and
informs the community of Pasco's performance in meeting the goals of the Annual Action Plan.
As a recipient of these funds, the City of Pasco hereby submits, its final Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) which provides detailed information to the local public,
HUD, and members of Congress on activities undertaken with these entitlement funds. The CAPER also

CR -25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction's progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City of Pasco is committed to supporting various activities outlined in the Consolidated Plan to
strengthen and coordinate actions with housing, non-profit and economic development agencies. Staff
continues to be an active member of the Benton Franklin Housing Continuum of Care to assist in the
coordination of government agencies, nonprofit organizations, housing developers, social service
providers, and continuum of care providers to meet the needs of the homeless.
The City of Pasco staff participates in annual the point in time count and serves on the Continuum of
Care Board. Outside of these activities, the City did not reach out to any unsheltered homeless persons
or assess their individual needs.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City supports the activities of community efforts to house individuals transitioning out of
homelessness. The City does not have capacity to provide supportive managed care and subsidized rent
helping clients to achieve self-sufficiency. The City continues to seek funding sources with which to
continue providing assistance to non -profits fortransitional housing projects.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care
facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections
programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
�DBG funds were awarded to Elijah Family Homes for the Transition to Success program. The program
provides housing and services to avoid homelessness from previous addiction related offenses. In 2015
Elijah Family Homes provided services to two families (4 adults and 6 children) in Pasco.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were

recently homeless from becoming homeless again
Except for involvement with the Continuum of Care Group, the City did not provide assistance any low-
income individuals or families avoid becoming homeless, that are being discharged from publicly funded
institutions or receiving assistance from public or private agencies this program year.

CR -30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City does not directly manage public housing. Public housing efforts are managed and implemented
by the Housing Authority of Franklin County. To the furthest extent that it makes sense, the City works
with the Housing Authority to analyze data to understand the public housing needs in Pasco.
In the Tri -Cities, public housing authorities facilitate tenant councils in their respective jurisdictions.
These public housing authorities actively support self-sufficiency for Section 8 and other program clients
and actively market their assistance programs to private landlords and property management firms. As
in most areas, public housing authority waiting lists in the Tri -Cities are unable to match the need for
housing to the supply of vouchers or public housing units. Waiting lists are open year-round, with
preferences and eligibility criteria established separately by each PHA as allowed by federal regulation.
Housing Authority of City of Pasco and Franklin County (HACPFC) has 280 public housing, 318 Housing
Choice Vouchers (Section 8), public housing units and 68 project based affordable units for household
income between 50-80% AMI. Varney Court development provides 38 units for agricultural workers
whose income is less than 50% AMI. The project utilized 4% tax credits to finance the development,
however, they are not subsidized. In total, HACPFC has 598 subsidized units (public housing and Section
8 vouchers) which are targeted for individuals with less than 30% AMI, and 106 affordable units which
are unsubsidized. Funding cuts for Section 8 has resulted in HACPFC only being able to provide
assistance for 275 familes with section 8 vouchers.
The public housing stock owned by the PHA is generally in very good overall condition. Regular
improvements are generally made through their own funding as well as a variety of HUD Public Housing
Grant Programs available for modernization, safety/security measures, rehabilitation and other
operating issues. Public housing units range from scattered site, multi -family duplexes to multi -family
apartment complexes.
All rental properties in Pasco are required to be licensed annually and inspected bi-annually for
compliance with minimum housing standards per the International Property Maintenance Code. Public
Housing and Section 8 properties are inspected and certified by HUD inspectors and with properties
inspected through the Rental Inspection Program. Through this program, many affordable rental units
have been returned to the market, increasing the stock of safe, decent and affordable housing.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership
The City funds several public services projects that provide training and education to low-income
residents in regard to self-sufficiency, tenant rights, and homeownership options. The Pasco Day Labor
enter is a project that provides such services and is funded with City General Funds. Centro Legal de la

CR -35 - Other Actions 91.2200)-(k); 91.320(i) -(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment. 91.220 0); 91.320 (i)
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.3200)
The need for affordable housing and community development and quality of life serves in orderto assist
low and moderate -income individuals, families and neighborhoods is tremendous. The greatest obstacle
in meeting underserved needs is funding. While the City has programs in place to address the
underserved needs, the amount of funding available for additional programs is insufficient to produce
outcomes that ensure a full range of decent housing and suitable living environments.
The City funds a number of CDBG activities that benefit its citizens by provided rehabilitation to
homeowners through the Owner Occupied Rehabilitation program and accessibility modifications
through the Volunteer Chore Services program. Additionally, the City funds community, economic, and
neighborhood projects. Projects include improve neighborhood parks which enhance the livability of the
neighborhood and the removal of architectural barriers that limit seniors and disabled from accessing
City services.
Non -homeless Special Needs
The City of Pasco partners with and supports various housing efforts of local non-profit and public
housing agencies with respect to supportive needs of non -homeless as opportunities arise. Many
resources responding to the needs of the homeless and non -homeless are identified in local resource
guidebooks for low-income and homeless persons. More community resources and services can be
accessed by calling "2-1-1 Get Connected" and through internet connection at www.4people.org.
The City of Pasco continued to support the efforts of various non-profit agencies, housing authorities
and Community Housing Development Organizations to provide affordable housing opportunities for
special needs populations. Priority is given by Benton Franklin CAC Energy Efficient Healthy House
Program to those homes occupied by vulnerable populations, such as elderly or disabled homeowners
and renters. City staff will be available to assist in identifying potential funding sources, provide
technical assistance within staff capacity, and remain receptive to forming partnerships with other
entities to assure vulnerable populations are able to reside in decent, safe housing.
The Pasco Senior Center has numerous programs to serve the elderly and disabled, including a foot care
program, health screening and nutrition programs.
Detox Center, which is located in Pasco, serves the Tri -City area and a number of other facilities
providing specialized services to the non -homeless persons in need in the area of Benton and Franklin
CAPER 16
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Counties.
LaClinica, a medical, dental and housing clinic located in Pasco, provides an assortment of services to the
elderly and low/mod income persons. CDBG and CHDO funding is offered to this organization on a
regular basis covering a number of needs, primarily in the area of housing.
Reduce the Incidence of Homelessness
The City of Pasco continues to support the bi-county Housing Continuum of Care network responsible
for implementing the 10 -Year Homeless Housing Plan to reduce homelessness by 50 percent within the
next 10 years. Pasco will continue to be supportive of non-profit and housing agencies efforts to apply
for McKinney-Vento, THOR, and other funding resources to assist homeless families and individuals with
transitional and permanent and supportive housing.
Specific HOPWA Objectives
The City of Pasco does not receive HOWPA funds; however, the following information has been
compiled and reported on by the Benton Franklin counties Department of Human Services through the
bi-county Housing Continuum of Care Task Force.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.22O(k); 91.32O(j)
Applicants for the down -payment assistance program are provided with "Protect Your Family from Lead
in Your Home" pamphlet and "Renovate Right' is provided to all Homeowner Rehabilitation applicants.
This benefits lower-income households that would qualify for housing programs. Information is also
made available to the general public and contractors visiting city offices and via links on city websites.
The City of Pasco will also continue to reduce the cost burden to lower income households by paying for
extensive testing to identify lead hazards and assure compliance after remediation work. This will be
accomplished by granting the costs of lead-based paint inspections, risk assessments, and one clearance
exam for persons assisted by the Homeowner Rehabilitation Program using CDBG funds.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty -level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Several activities were undertaken in 2017 to decrease cost -burdens for lower income people, such as
the various housing programs offered by the City of Pasco and the Tri -Cities HOME Consortium including
Down Payment Assistance Program, and various public/social service programs such as life skills training
The City of Pasco actively supports economic development projects to create and retain jobs, provide
education or training to enable people to become self-sufficient, and improve economic opportunity to
work at living wage jobs.

Benton Franklin CAC Energy Efficient Healthy House Program to those homes occupied by vulnerable
populations, such as elderly or disabled homeowners and renters.
�ontinued support for very low-income seniors and disabled households by reducing water bills.
piscounts for electricity and refuse are also offered by Franklin Public Utility District (PUD) and Basin
Disposal.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City of Pasco is committed to supporting various activities outlined in the Consolidated Plan to
strengthen and coordinate actions with housing, non-profit and economic development agencies. Staff
continues to be an active member of the Benton Franklin Housing Continuum of Care to assist in the
coordination of government agencies, nonprofit organizations, housing developers, social service
providers, and continuum of care providers to meet the needs of the homeless.
The cities participate in cross -jurisdictional efforts. This includes participation in the Benton Franklin
Continuum of Care, Benton Franklin Human Services Department, involvement with Housing
Authorities, and continued efforts to foster cooperation among government agencies, nonprofit
organizations, housing developers, social service providers, local businesses and continuum of care
provides to meet the needs of the homeless.
While the City of Richland is the lead entity, it relies heavily on the staff of the other two cities for
support in the HOME program. One of the strengths of the Consortium is the close working relationship
between the cities in general as well as between the departments charged with administering the HUD
programs. In turn, agencies such as Benton Franklin Community Action Connections, TRIDEC, the Benton
Franklin Continuum of Care, Benton Franklin Council of Governments, Housing Authorities and several
nonprofit agencies work in all three cities, improving the effectiveness of coordination and efficiencies.
The fact that the three cities are in close proximity, with common issues and opportunities, provides a
base for cooperation. The Consortium also hold regular meetings to discuss improving internal policies,
best practices and written agreements.
CAPER 18
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
City of Richland CDBG and Tri Cities Consortium staff coordinate with a variety of public and private
housing and social service agencies during the planning, project proposal, and implementation stages of
programs through the citizen participation process.
Staff of the cities and representatives of nonprofit services and housing agencies participate on
committees crossing jurisdictional lines. This includes involvement in the Continuum of Care planning
efforts undertaken by Benton Franklin Human Services, a joint County agency, to oversee reducing
homelessness in the counties. Richland continues to work with other community liaisons to encourage
cooperation and sharing of information to identify existing resources that might be available to meet
community needs.
There is also a close working relationship with the Housing Authorities, some of whom have benefited
from CDBG and/or HOME funds for assisted housing development activities and whose residents have
benefitted from public services delivered by the area's nonprofit agencies.
A limitation on cooperative efforts is the lack of new federal resources available for programs.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the
jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)
The Fair Housing Act and the CDBG and HOME Program rules pertaining to non- discrimination follow a
history in the United States' affirmation of various civil right of its citizenry. The core principles of
fairness and anti -discrimination are rooted in the Constitution and its Amendments, and a series of
milestone civil rights laws that have further honed the concept of fairness in governmental and private
actions. These laws were made not only to govern the individual citizen's actions, but also to establish
the same standards of fairness and accountability for governmental actions.
The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing is a required document for Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) and HOME entitlement jurisdictions. It has become the basis for identifying specific
patterns of violation of the Fair Housing Act and other laws, civil rights rules and regulations which occur
in a local jurisdiction. Once partners are identified, communities can design effective strategies and
goals to address fair housing problems. The general content of this Analysis of Impediment to Fair
Housing includes:
1. Identification of Fair Housing laws and rules.
2. A discussion of what constitutes fair housing violations and impediments.
3. Discussion of the fair housing complaint processes and investigation protocol.
CAPER
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)

4. An overview of the Tri -Cities demographic profiles including income, population attributes,
economic conditions, and general housing market conditions. Data from a variety of sources
including local mortgage lending performance, complaint data, etc.
5. Review of local permitting and housing codes as well as housing program rules and practices,
and local government practices which impact housing. Identification of specific goals and actions
to address identified impediments as well as ways to affirmatively further fair housing in the
area.
Pasco continues to expand and support activities that affirmatively further fair housing by implementing
the recommended actions of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Plan. In 2017, the City of Pasco
actively supported fair housing by partnering with local service providers to provide additional
counseling for first time homebuyers, posting National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) posters in English
and Spanish in various locations, and post Fair Housing information on the City's website at
http://www.pasco-wa.gov/index.aspx?NID=187. The City employs bi-lingual staff that is available to
assist the public with many of their housing and other needs, and participates in the Language Line.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 15, 2018
TO: Planning Commission (/
FROM: Rick White, Director 1�/✓/,"�1`
Community & Economic Development
SUBJECT: Housing Resources
After many years of decline, homelessness in Washington is growing despite significant
investment and efforts to reduce it over the last decade. Factors contributing to this rise include
escalating housing costs, inadequate mental health and chemical dependency treatment systems,
the opioid crisis, inadequate coordination of prevention efforts and levels of funding on the local,
state and federal government levels. Homelessness is a regional issue that is not confined to any
particular city or county and is an issue that presents complex difficulties. Solving this issue is
next to impossible by any single provider of government services.
The cost of homelessness to taxpayers is significant in terms of increased police calls, emergency
room visits and locally -funded homeless services. There are also indirect costs resulting from
homeless services on public perception when those services are provided in business districts.
Here in Washington State - many communities have experienced land use conflicts with homeless
services and revitalization efforts - including neighboring communities here in our area. In March
of 2017, City Council adopted an ordinance prohibiting unauthorized camping subject to the
availability of alternative accommodations -however this prohibition applies only to parks and
other public locations.
Both state and federal law allow discretion to religious organizations that provide services for the
homeless (including homeless shelters) and the needy as part of their core mission on property that
is owned or controlled by them. In effect - this establishes a limited "pre-emption" of full local
control of land use issues involving establishing and conducting homeless facilities or services.
Both legal and municipal authorities recommend that communities prepare ordinances that detail
the requirements for religious organizations that wish to sponsor homeless shelters or
encampments - before the community is faced with an immediate application for a shelter.
Municipalities cannot necessarily deny religious organizations from establishing shelters or
encampments, but they can be reasonably regulated. The regulations would be driven by
conformance with state and local law that protect public interest, health and safety.
In researching municipalities that have established standards for regulating such facilities a
potential land use ordinance could include at least the following provisions relating to such shelters
or encampments:
• limiting the siting of such facilities on property owned or controlled by the religious
organization;
• requirement to meet appropriate setbacks, buffering and other standards;
• limiting such facilities to specific zoning districts;
• limiting the maximum number of residents;
• requiring a minimum age for residents, e.g. eighteen;
• establishing a code of conduct to include prohibitions on illegal drugs, alcohol, weapons,
loitering and other behaviors;
• conformance with state and local standards relating to drinking water, human and solid
waste disposal, electric systems and fire systems;
• the conduct of appropriate background and identification checks (ie; sex offenders and
outstanding warrants) by the religious organization;
• conformance to a minimum distance between other shelters or encampments;
• conformance with a maximum time period for the duration of a shelter or encampment -
including a separation period between such time periods; and
• irrevocable permission for the City to abate the use and reimbursement for those costs if
the shelter or encampment is noncompliant with conditions of the ordinance or permit.
This information is transmitted to the Planning Commission to begin the discussion, provide staff
direction and establish a process that is likely to include land use permitting of some type or form.

DATE: March 15, 2018
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Darcy Bourcier, Planner I
Community & Economic Development
SUBJECT: Revisions to the Commercial Corridors Design Standards (PMC 25.59)
The PMC outlines mandatory and optional standards that all new buildings zoned retail
commercial (C-1) and office (0) must adhere to that are located along certain street corridors.
However, in researching commercial corridor standards established by Pasco's neighboring
cities, Staff has determined that some additions to Chapter 25.59 of the PMC are warranted to
institute specific design standards more coordinated with the City's vision of Pasco—particularly
in the downtown core area. The downtown core runs from the west side of 2nd Ave to the east
side of 5d' Ave and from the north side of Columbia St to the north side of Clark St.
In addition to the existing standards in the Chapter, Staff believes minimal parking regulations
within the downtown core need to be defined, since parking is an important element in
improving and retaining downtown aesthetic. An illustration of this can be seen at the southwest
corner of 2nd Ave and W Lewis St, at which a commercial building was recently constructed
surrounded by parking lot on three sides. Below is a parking provision that Staff recommends
adding to the downtown core area:
a) Off-street parking lots shall be located behind or to the side of buildings.
Staff also believes that commercial window design standards should be further detailed in this
chapter. Staff has proposed the following additions to the downtown core:
a) Windows must be the predominant surface (50% or more) on ground floor walls that are
street -facing.
b) Street -level windows may not be darkened with applied films, but curtains and shades
shall be permitted. No more than 25% of the total square footage of display windows may
be covered with advertising or signage, as consistent with the Sign Code.
Lastly—unrelated to both parking and window provisions—is the following:
a) Main building entries shall be located on the street sides of buildings and, where possible,
adjacent the public street Right -of -Way.
These proposed design standards would apply to all new commercial development and all
remodels or expansions where the cumulative cost of remodeling and/or expansion within the
last 5 years is equal to or exceeds 50% of the current assessed value of the structure, as is
currently stated in the PMC. Chapter 25.59 has been included with this memo for your reference.
No action is recommended of the Planning Commission at this time. Any input by the Planning
Commission will be considered and addressed as applicable.
