Staff recommends that Council adopt the 2018 revision/update of the Franklin County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Kerr, City Attorney Page 14 of 185 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council January 31, 2019 TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Special Meeting: 2/11/19 FROM: Stan Strebel, Deputy City Manager Executive SUBJECT: 2019 Legislative Priorities - Amendment I. REFERENCE(S): 2019 Legislative Priorities - Proposed Amendments Proposed Resolution II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ________, declaring the City's legislative priorities (amended) for the 2019 session of the Washington State Legislature. III. FISCAL IMPACT: IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: On October 1st Council adopted Resolution No. 3861 declaring the City's legislative priorities for the 2019 session of the Legislature which began on January 14th. Since the adoption, Council and staff have discussed the need to add two additional priorities: • LEWIS STREET OVERPASS PROJECT - Requesting $3.4 million from the Transportation Budget to close the funding gap and allow construction of the project to commence this year. • LOWER SNAKE RIVER DAMS - Opposing the $750,000 in the Governor's budget for funding of an impact study on breaching the 4 dams on the Lower Snake River as unnecessary and a duplication of ongoing work. Page 15 of 185 V. DISCUSSION: Staff recommends approval of the revised priorities list, by resolution attached, so that the City's advocates with the Legislature, Gordon Thomas Honeywell, will have the City's direction. Page 16 of 185 RESOLUTION NO. __________ A RESOLUTION declaring the City’s legislative priorities for the 2019 session of the Washington State Legislature. WHERAS, the City Council identified its legislative priorities for the 2019 legislative session in Resolution No. 3861; and WHERAS, the Council desires to amend said priorities with additional priorities of assistance and concern; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. That the legislative objectives stated herein below constitute the priorities of the City of Pasco for the 2019 legislative session. • PEANUTS COMMUNITY PLAZA and FARMERS MARKET: At the epicenter of downtown Pasco is Peanuts Park, the primary and historic gathering place for the community. The park is the heart of a culturally diverse downtown core. The City is leveraging this project, as part of a bundle of projects to revitalize the downtown core, enhance economic opportunities for the agricultural community and provide the public greater access to locally grown produce. Design for these improvements is expected to be complete in the spring of 2019 with construction to commence shortly thereafter. Considerable public outreach was part of the master planning process and as a result the project enjoys significant public support. The City requests $3 million in funding for Phase 1 of this project to revitalize the downtown plaza and farmers market structures, upgrading this important community gathering place in a way that will spur economic development. • LEWIS STREET OVERPASS PROJECT: The City of Pasco is requesting $3.4 million from the Transportation budget to close the final funding gap for this longstanding project. The project will create an overpass across the BNSF Railway railroad tracks to replace the 1937 Lewis Street undercrossing. With the additional roadway features and pedestrian features, the project will enhance safety, connectivity and economic development in the area. More specifically, the overpass will provide an important and safe link between the Pasco Central Business District and eastern Pasco for freight, emergency service vehicles, school buses, residents, and businesses. The city’s goal is to begin construction this spring or summer. • PROCESS WATER REUSE FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS PHASE I: The City requests $3 million for improvements to the City’s industrial wastewater treatment facility which supports a very successful food processing cluster and farmers within the region. These proposed conveyance, rehabilitation and treatment improvements will improve the reliability of the facility and allow for the needed and planned expansion in productivity of current food processors utilizing the facility and create capacity for additional processors. This project is necessary to support the current processors and farmers benefitting from the plant and allow for growth of the Pasco Ag Processing Cluster. Page 17 of 185 2019 Legislative Priorities Resolution Page 2 • ALLOW CITY PUBLIC FACILITY DISTRICT TO FUND AQUATIC CENTER: The Pasco Public Facility District (PFD) would like to fund and construct an aquatic center. Regional and county PFDs are authorized to construct “recreational facilities”; however, city PFDs are not. The City requests legislation or a local tool to bring this project to fruition. • INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING (TIB & PWAA): The City of Pasco has several significant infrastructure projects that are too expensive to fund solely with local funding, including; Lewis Street Overpass project replaces a deteriorating and functionally obsolete 1937 underpass on a former state highway; Argent Road, widening and improving safety, capacity and multi-modal opportunities in the immediate vicinity of the Tri-Cities Airport in Pasco, Columbia Basin College and nearby commercially zoned properties. The City requests that the Legislature fund key infrastructure funding programs, including the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) and the Public Works Assistance Account (PWAA) to provide adequate funding sources to complete these projects. Specifically, the City requests that the legislature return funding streams, such as the utility tax and real estate excise tax revenues, to the PWAA. • LOWER SNAKE RIVER DAMS: The City opposes the inclusion of $750,000 in the Governor’s proposed budget to study the impact of breaching the Lower Snake River Dams as unnecessary and duplicative. The City instead urges the legislature to continue supporting the ongoing efforts to provide education, analysis and improvements to hydro, habitat, harvest and hatchery programs directed towards salmon and orca recovery and to support the ongoing Columbia River System Operation Environmental Impact Statement (CRSO EIS), a multi-State effort, involving federal and state agencies, tribes, local governments, industry and special interest groups aimed at evaluating and addressing alternatives and impacts associated with removal of dams along both the Columbia and Snake Rivers. • BASIC LAW ENFORCEMENT ACADAMY (BLEA) FUNDING: The City of Pasco supports increased funding and other solutions to ensure newly hired officers are able to complete training through the Basic Law Enforcement Academy (BLEA) at the Criminal Justice Training Commission in a timely manner. At current funding levels, the Criminal Justice Training Commission has a backlog of officers awaiting training. State law requires that officers are trained within 6 months of hire. The current backlog exceeds this statutory timeline. This results in law enforcement agencies throughout the state hiring new officers, and then keeping them on staff for upwards of 6 months, unable to perform police work until their training is complete. • ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOLS: The City of Pasco joins the Association of Washington Cities in encouraging the State to reinvigorate economic development programs currently in statute that now remain unfunded, such as the Local Revitalization Fund (LRF), the Local Infrastructure Financing Tool (LIFT), the Job Development Fund (JDF), and others. Additionally, Pasco supports establishing a tax increment financing or value capture financing program, similar to what is established in other states. Page 18 of 185 2019 Legislative Priorities Resolution Page 3 • DEFEND LOCAL CONTROL: The City of Pasco believes the best governmental decisions are those that are made closest to the people represented. Cities possess strong local authority to provide for the safety and welfare of their residents, and the Legislature must abstain from restricting, mandating, or otherwise interfering with local decisions. The City of Pasco will oppose legislative actions that are inconsistent with this view. Section 2. The City Manager is hereby directed to inform state legislators and other appropriate parties of the City’s 2019 legislative priorities. PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco at its regular meeting this _______ day of February, 2019. Matt Watkins, Mayor ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: Daniela Erickson, City Clerk Leland B. Kerr, City Attorney Page 19 of 185 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council January 30, 2019 TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Special Meeting: 2/11/19 FROM: Bob Gear, Fire Chief Fire Department SUBJECT: Sole Source for Hurst Extrication Tools from LN Curtis and Sons I. REFERENCE(S): Sole Source Worksheet II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: I move to approve Resolution No. ______________ waiving the competitive bidding requirement and approving the purchase of battery powered extrication tools from LN Curtis and Sons. III. FISCAL IMPACT: 2019-2020 Fire Department Suppression Budget - $31,818.31 IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: City is authorized by RCW 39.04.280(1)(a) and RCW 39.04.280(1)(b) to waive competitive bidding of purchases from a sole source supplier and purchases involving special facilities. The Pasco Fire Department is requesting sole source approval for battery powered extrication tools, which are used to cut, lift and pry wreckage to remove victims from entrapment or entanglement. Currently Staff utilizes a set of Hurst extrication tools which are patented rescue tools for emergency extrication situations. Staff has been trained on the specifics of these tools and are familiar with using them in emergency situations. The Hurst extrication tools are compatible with existing department equipment. LN Curtis and Sons is the regional dealer for Hurst rescue equipment, so the tools will be procured through this regional representative. Page 20 of 185 This purchase has been allocated in the 2019-2020 Fire Department Suppression budget as a capital expense. V. DISCUSSION: During emergency situations, familiarity with equipment plays a vital role and is critical to mission success. The purchase of an identical set of extrication tools will save valuable time in training and will increase speed and accuracy in life threatening situations.Since Staff is already trained and has experience working with the Hurst extrication tools. It will also allow interchangeability between the tools and equipment currently in use. Staff recommends approval of the attached Resolution authorizing acquisition of Hurst battery powered extrication tools from LN Curtis and Sons.

REFERENCE(S): Vicinity Map Resolution II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ____________ accepting the work performed by Big D's Construction of Tri-Cities, Inc. for the Oregon Ave Waterline Project. III. FISCAL IMPACT: 2015 Water Revenue Bond - $1,543,717 IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The need for this project became apparent during consideration of the Oregon Avenue Safety Improvements project. Because of the extent of the improvements anticipated, it made sense to consider the underground utilities to reduce the chance of disturbing the new surface work to repair old underground infrastructure that are nearing the end of their useful life cycle. The existing water main in Oregon Avenue consists of various sizes and materials including a significant amount of older cast iron with lead joints, which have a history of leaking. This project replaced the main line in Oregon Avenue from 'A' Street to James Street, in advance of the road-widening. In addition, a benefit of replacing the pipe has increased of capacity, which improves both domestic service, as well as fire protection, in this area. Page 24 of 185 The project involved the installation of approximately 7,300 linear feet of 16 -inch ductile iron water main, and the replacement of existing services, hydrants and crossings, as well as the addition of new hydrants and services where needed, within the Oregon Avenue corridor. The project bid was awarded to Big D's Construction of Tri -Cities, Inc. out of Pasco, WA on February 16, 2016 in the amount of $1,091,826.93 by Council action. The project is complete and constructed per specifications. Final construction costs were $1,203,014.35, which includes four change orders in the amount of $87,025.55. Formal acceptance of the project by the City is required by State law and starts a 45- day waiting period within which an outside vendor, supplier or laborer would have an opportunity to file a claim against this project pursuant to RCW 60.28.011 (2). After 45 days, the retainage being held by the City can be released, once the City has received the following documents: • An affidavit of no liens; • A release from the Department of Revenue that all taxes have been paid; and • A release from any claims from the Department of Labor and Industries, pursuant to RCW 60.28.051. V. DISCUSSION: Staff recommends the City Council's acceptance of the project as constructed by Big D's Construction of Tri-Cities, Inc.

REFERENCE(S): Vicinity Map Resolution II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ____________ accepting the work performed by Big D's Construction of Tri-Cities, Inc. for the East Side Booster Pump Station Project. III. FISCAL IMPACT: 2015 Water Revenue Bond - $1,135,421 IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The East Side Booster Pump Station (BPS) is located adjacent to City Fire Department #81 at 310 North Oregon Avenue. This pump station is necessary to increase potable water pressure in the East Pasco area for domestic water service and fire flow. Major elements of the BPS were approaching or exceeding their useful life cycle which was being demonstrated through decreased reliability and increased maintenance. Additionally, commercial and residential growth within the BPS service area had exceeded the original design parameters of the facility. The project involved expanding the existing East Side BPS facility, including replacement of the existing diesel engine fire pum p with two new electric motor-driven pumps equipped with variable frequency drives (VFDs), installation of a suction pipe gallery, and other improvements to the facility. Page 28 of 185 The project bid was awarded to Big D's Construction of Tri -Cities, Inc. out of Pasco, WA on February 1, 2016 in the amount of $843,044.42 by Council action.

While a significant amount to the positive, this can be attributed to higher than anticipated increase in sales tax, permits, fees, and sale of City property. The increase in sales tax can in part be attributed to growing economic base within the City, however high one-time construction activity and investment into physical plant upgrades were major drivers. The increase in licensing fee revenues are due to in part to changes that Council approved, modifying the fee structure and allowing businesses easier access to City's licensing process. The transition to the Washington Business Licensing system increased the number of city licensed businesses by 1,800, increase by the factor of 53%. Finally, there has been a focus in 2018 to put City-owned properties not suitable for public purposes, like parks or infrastructure, to beneficial use. The sale of these properties to private concerns generated $757 thousand dollars, approximately 24% of the projected general fund surplus. It is important to note that a significant portion of the 2018 revenue surplus is primarily due to one-time construction sales tax historically makes up 15% of the City's total sales tax, roughly $2.1 million dollars in 2018. Due to the growth in new homes within the City limits, and investment in privately owned plant facilities, this source of revenue has seen robust growth. However, construction sales tax is elastic in its nature, and very dependent on market forces and availability of land on which to build homes. Available of residential land within the City is rapidly reducing with development. Furthermore, national and regional economics also heavily impact construction sales tax. The City is expected to maintain its current level of growth in building permits and construction for approximately the next two years, however, further growth/decline in this area will be highly dependent on the future urban growth boundary, annexation of undeveloped land, market forces and the economy in general. As a side note, with respect to business licensing revenues, as discussed with Council during the rate setting process, at the time they were adjusted the City lacked a reliable data set to be able to predict business license revenue under the then new fee structure. Council asked Staff to comeback once a reliable data set was acquired; which Staff expects will be achieved by the end of 2019. Staff anticipates revisiting the business license fee structure with the City Council toward the end of Q3 2019. For the past several years, as is standard practice for cities with a surplus of construction sales tax related to high growth, the City has engaged in a strategy of saving these surpluses as fund balance as cushion against an inevitable downturn in such revenue.

III. FISCAL IMPACT: Unknown at this time. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: For the past couple years, the Tri-Cities region, facilitated through TRIDEC, has been discussing the re-conveyance of the Columbia River shoreline from Federal control to local agencies. During the latter part of 2018, Kennewick, Pasco and Richland, in partnership with TRIDEC each conducted public meetings to present information, gather input, and gauge overall support for the project on the part of the public. During and since this time, City Council has been continually updated. Page 35 of 185 At the January 28, 2019 City Council Workshop, staff updated City Council on the legal analysis provided by KL Gates, as retained through TRIDEC. That study outlined the findings conducted regarding the following area of concern: - Deed Restrictions historically placed on the properties at the original conveyance, and what deed restrictions could be placed on property tranferred out of Federal ownership to local entities. - What environmental and development regulations apply on Federal property, what would be exempted through transfer, and what would remain applicable should federal property to conveyed to local entities. - Tribal Treaties and Rights: How would a potential land transfer impact historical tribal treaties and rights to the land and river access? -Could offshore flowage easements be transferred from Federal Ownership to local agencies? During the workshop, staff and Council discussed lands that could be transferred back to City ownership. Direction from Council was to examine two scenarios: - Conveyance of recognized park lands, specifically Chiawana Park, Wade Park, Schlagel Park/Pasco Boat Basin, a trail head on A Street at 25th Street, and identified federal flowage easements within the urbanized part of Pasco and unincorporated Franklin County no longer needed for flood control. - Conveyance of all parcels discussed above, but also including federal land along private shorelines in the area of west Pasco generally between Rd 108 and the I-182 bridge. Staff has attached two (2) resolutions to the report for consideration. TRIDEC has requested that all jurisdictions potentially interested in pursuing re- conveyance provide details regarding their support/non-support and the extent of lands each jurisdiction wishes to have conveyed to TR IDEC as soon as possible in order to facilitate the drafting legislation for consideration by the United State Congress. V. DISCUSSION: City staff will provide a specific analysis and synopsis of the conveyance options, and will present additional information on specific shoreline development requirements along private property in the event of a transfer of ownership to the City.

HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: On December 20, 2018 the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider a request to rezone 403, 405, 407, and 427 S Cedar Avenue and Parcel #113900076 from R-2 (Medium Density Residential) to R-3 (Medium Density Residential). Following the conduct of a public hearing, the Planning Commission reasoned it would be appropriate to rezone the property to R-3 and is recommending Council approval of the requested rezone as contained in the Staff Report. V. DISCUSSION: Page 58 of 185 The applicant is seeking to rezone the subject site from R-2 to R-3 in order to subsequently subdivide the five parcels into 109 multi-family lots for zero lot line construction. R-2 (Medium Density Residential) zoning permits one multi-family dwelling unit per 5,000 square feet of lot area, while R-3 (Medium Density Residential) zoning permits one multi-family dwelling unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area. The approval of the preliminary plat (Cedar Flats) which was submitted concurrently with the rezone request is contingent upon the approval of this rezone.

Kerr, City Attorney Page 61 of 185 1 REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION MASTER FILE NO: Z 2018-008 HEARING DATE: 12/20/2018 ACTION DATE: 1/17/2019 APPLICANT: Knutzen Engineering 5453 Ridgeline Dr. Ste 120 Kennewick, WA 99338 BACKGROUND REQUEST: Rezone: Rezone five parcels from R-2 (Medium Density Residential) to R-3 (Medium Density Residential) for Cedar Flats subdivision 1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: A Portion of Township 9 N, Range 30 E, Section 28 General Location: The 600 block of S Cedar Avenue Property Size: 14.47 acres 2. ACCESS: The property has access from S Cedar Ave and the proposed extension of E Helena St 3. UTILITIES: Municipal water and sewer service are located in S Cedar Ave and E Helena St 4.LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned R-2 (Medium-Density Residential). Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: NORTH: R-2 – Vacant SOUTH: R-1A – SFDUs EAST: R-1A – SFDUs WEST R-1 – SFDUs/Vacant 5.COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan indicates the site is intended for mixed residential development. According to the Comprehensive Plan, mixed residential development means 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre. The criteria for allocation under the future land use section of Volume II of the Comprehensive Plan (Vol. II, page 17) encourages development of lands designated for mixed residential uses when or where sewer is available, when the location is suitable for home sites, and when there is a market demand for new home sites. Policy H-1- E encourages the advancement of home ownership and Goal H-2 suggests the City strive to maintain a variety of housing options for residents of the community. Goal LU-2 encourages the maintenance of established neighborhoods and the creation of new neighborhoods that are safe and enjoyable places to live. Page 62 of 185 2 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 project site includes five contiguous parcels on which four existing houses and various accessory structures are located. The site was annexed into the City in 1994 and zoned R-2 (Medium Density Residential). However, the underlying Comprehensive Plan zoning designation of Mixed Residential allows for zoning districts RS-20, RS-12, RS-1, and R-1 through R-3. The applicant is seeking to rezone the property to R-3 in order to subsequently subdivide the five parcels into 109 multi-family duplex lots for zero lot line construction (Cedar Flats). Of the allowable zones under the Mixed Residential designation, the R-3 zone allows for the highest residential density at a rate of one dwelling unit for every 3,000 ft² of land area or 14.5 units per acre. Per the R-3 zoning provisions and zero lot line construction, each lot must be at least 3,000 square feet in size. This density equates to approximately 14.5 dwelling units per acre, which conforms to the Comprehensive Plan’s suggested density of 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre for the Mixed Residential designation. The rezone site is 14.47 acres in area; barring the required right-of-way dedications, R-3 zoning will allow up to 210 multi-family lots on a site this size. The proposed Cedar Flats preliminary plat submitted by the developer to be considered concurrently with this rezone application indicates 109 multi-family lots to be created contingent upon the approval of the rezone. During the time of development, the City requires full improvement of right-of-way including curb, gutter, and sidewalk. The proposal is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan’s Land Use and Zoning maps. 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 rezone site was zoned R-2 in 1994 when it was annexed into the City. 2. The changed conditions which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning: The property is considered “infill” property as development has occurred around it. Due to Pasco’s rapid population increase, developing the remaining infill properties around the City has become crucial to accommodate future growth. By Page 63 of 185 3 rezoning the property to R-3 which permits the creation of lots at a greater density than R-2, the applicant may then develop the property with more dwelling units to serve the population. 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 a multi - family subdivision 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 subdivision consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant’s end goal is to establish a medium density infill development; however, the vicinity is predominantly low-density single-family development. Even so, it is anticipated that the proposed use will either have no impact or positive 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 owner may choose to develop the property under the current R-2 zoning designation. 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 consists of five contiguous parcels and is zoned R-2 (Medium Density Residential). 2. The site was annexed in 1994. 3. The site is approximately 14.47 acres. 4. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for Mixed Residential zoning which includes zones RS-20, RS-12, RS-1, and R-1 through R-3. 5. The applicant is seeking a rezone to R-3 in order to subdivide the parcels into 109 multi-family duplex lots for zero lot line construction. Page 64 of 185 4 6. The lot density of the proposed subdivision is contingent upon the approval of this rezone. 7. R-3 zoning permits a density at a rate of one dwelling unit for every 3,000 square feet of land area or 14.5 units per acre. 8. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that property designated as Mixed Residential should be developed with 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre. 9. Barring required right-of-way dedications, a property of this size may be divided into as many as 210 lots. 10. Development of the property under its current R-2 zoning designation would require a density of one dwelling unit per each 5,000 square feet. 11. The proposal is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan’s land use and zoning maps. 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 Low Density and Mixed Residential zoning which permits the R-3 (Medium Density Residential) 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. Page 65 of 185 5 4. Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from the proposal. The Pasco Municipal Code includes design standards for residential and commercial development. If or when the applicant pursues the 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. RECOMMENDATION MOTION: I move to close the hearing on the proposed rezone and set January 17, 2019 as the date for deliberations and the development of a recommendation for the City Council.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Based on the SEPA checklist, the adopted City Comprehensive Plan, City development regulations, testimony at the public hearing and other information, a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS) has been issued for this project (WAC 197-11-355). ANALYSIS The project site includes five contiguous parcels on which four existing houses and various accessory structures are located. The site was annexed into the City in 1994 and zoned R-2 (Medium Density Residential).

Rezone Rezone from R-2 (Medium Density Residential) to R-3 (Medium Density Residential) (Knutzen Engineering) (MF# Z 2018-008) Chairperson Myhrum read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Darcy Bourcier, Planner I, discussed the rezone application from R-2 (Medium Density Residential) to R-3 (Medium Density Residential). The rezone is related to a preliminary plat application that the applicant is completing simultaneously with the rezone. With the existing R-2 zoning standards, the site can be developed with 1 single-family dwelling unit per 6,000 square feet of land area or 1 multi-family dwelling unit per 5,000 square feet of land area. The applicant wishes to rezone to R-3 which would allow 1 multi-family dwelling unit per 3,000 square feet of land area. This density equates to 14.5 dwelling units per acre and would conform to the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Bowers asked about the impact of multi-family dwelling units next to single-family dwelling units in terms of property values. Ms. Bourcier responded that the applicant would be proposing zero lot line homes, which would be very similar to single-family homes and individuals would own their units. Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, added that much of the design and layout of the plat would be discussed during the hearing for the preliminary plat and he briefly discussed the plat application. In essence, they will be single-family homes with a shared lot line. Commissioner Bowers asked if they would be similar to townhomes. Mr. White said yes. Paul Knutzen, 5453 Ridgeline Drive, Kennewick, WA spoke on behalf of his rezone application. He stated that they will not be developing to the maximum density but that the R-3 zoning would allow them some more flexibility and to allow for slightly more density. With no further questions or comments the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Bowers moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to close the hearing on the proposed rezone and set January 17, 2019 as the date for deliberations and the development of a recommendation for the City Council. The motion passed unanimously.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No.______, approving the Preliminary Plat for Cedar Flats. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: On December 20, 2018 the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to develop a recommendation for the City Council on the Cedar Flats preliminary plat. The proposed site consists of five parcels and is located in the 600 block of South Cedar Avenue. Following the hearing, the Planning Commission determined that with conditions, the preliminary plat should be recommended for approval. The recommended conditions are contained in the attached Resolution. Page 89 of 185 No written appeal of the Planning Commission’s recommendation has been received. The proposed plat contains approximately 14.47 acres with 106 multi-family lots for zero lot line construction and 3 single-family homes. V. DISCUSSION: The final dwelling unit density and lot layout will be contingent upon the approval of the proposed rezone of the site from R-2 to R-3. The applicant submitted both proposals (the aforementioned rezone and plat) simultaneously for review. The purpose of the rezone is to increase the dwelling density at which the applicant may develop the subject site. However, should the rezone be denied by Council, the applicant will be required to alter the lot layout according to R-2 zoning density standards and resubmit. A traffic impact analysis (TIA) will be required prior to development of any portion of this preliminary plat. The scope of this TIA must be submitted and approved by the City of Pasco.

Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: NORTH: R-2 – Vacant SOUTH: R-1A – SFDUs EAST: R-1A – SFDUs WEST R-1 – SFDUs/Vacant 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan indicates the site is intended for mixed residential development. According to the Comprehensive Plan, mixed residential development means 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre. The criteria for allocation under the future land use section of Volume II of the Comprehensive Plan (Vol. II, page 17) encourages development of lands designated for mixed residential uses when or where sewer is available, when the location is suitable for home sites, and when there is a market demand for new home sites. Policy H-1- E encourages the advancement of home ownership and Goal H-2 suggests the City strive to maintain a variety of housing options for residents of the community. Goal LU-2 encourages the maintenance of established Page 96 of 185 2 neighborhoods and the creation of new neighborhoods that are safe and enjoyable places to live. 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 project site includes five contiguous parcels on which four existing houses and various accessory structures are located. The site was annexed into the City in 1994 and zoned R-2 (Medium Density Residential). The applicant intends to concurrently rezone the project site from R-2 to R-3—increasing the housing density as a result—and develop the site with zero lot line multi-family duplexes in phases. Of the allowable zones under the Mixed Residential designation, the R-3 zone allows for the highest residential density at a rate of one dwelling unit for every 3,000 ft² of land area or 14.5 units per acre. In this case, the applicant proposes 109 lots on 14.47 acres which calculates out to 7.5 units per acre. The proposed plat is a multi-family plat designed to promote home ownership on lots with R-3 densities. This proposal is identical to the process that was used for the development of the Island Estates Row Homes in the Island Estates subdivision (Phase 8), Mediterranean Villas and Columbia Villas Phases 1, 2 and 3. Each of these subdivisions was zoned for multi-family development and platted into individual lots. The lot lines within these subdivisions became the common boundary line separating the multi-family dwelling units built therein. This enables the dwelling unit to be solid individually addressing one of the Comprehensive Plan goals dealing with affordable housing. The final dwelling unit density and lot layout will be contingent upon the approval of the proposed rezone to R-3. Should the rezone be denied, the applicant will be required to alter the lot layout according to R-2 zoning density standards and resubmit. The site borders one existing roadway—S Cedar Avenue—and will border the extension of E Helena St when it is constructed with phases 1 and 2. Much of the frontage along the site has not yet been improved with curb, gutter, sidewalk, etc. Construction of these improvements will be required as a part of the subdivision improvements and/or building permit approvals. Three of the four existing houses on the site will remain on scaled-down lots to be integrated with the rest of the development. All other structures will be demolished. Page 97 of 185 3 The proposed plat will provide additional lots within the Urban Growth Area (UGA) for single-family homes consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed plat can be considered an infill development on property that has been vacant since it was platted in 1888. LOT LAYOUT: The proposed plat contains 109 residential lots. The lots vary in size from 3,212 square feet to 18,160 square feet. The average lot size is 4,436 square feet. The proposal is consistent with the density requirements of the proposed R-3 zoning; however, the lot density must be altered if the current R-2 zoning district prevails. RIGHTS-OF-WAY: All lots have frontage on streets which will be dedicated. East Helena Street will be extended through the plat and the proposed east/west street labeled “Noelia Street” on the face of the plat will provide the development with additional ingress/egress. UTILITIES: Municipal water and sewer line are located in surrounding streets and will be extended to and through the plat to serve the new lots. A utility easement will be needed along the first 10 feet of street frontage of all lots. The final location and width of the easements will be determined during the engineering design phase. The front yard setbacks for construction purposes are larger than the requested easements; therefore the front yard easements will not diminish the buildable area of the lots. The City Engineer will determine the specific placement of fire hydrants and streetlights when construction plans are submitted. As a general rule, fire hydrants are located at street intersections and with a maximum interval of 500 feet between hydrants on alternating sides of the street. Streetlights are located at street intersections, with a maximum interval of less than 300 feet on residential streets, and with a maximum interval of 150 feet on arterial streets. The intervals for street light placements are measure along the centerline of the road. Street lights are placed on alternating sides of the street. STREET NAMES: The proposed street names have been shown on the face of the plat but are subject to change if necessary. IRRIGATION: The re is no irrigation service in this neighborhood. WATER RIGHTS: The assignment of water rights is a requirement for subdivision approval per Pasco Municipal Code Section 26.04.115(B) and Section 3.07.160. If no water rights are available to transfer to the City the property owner/developer must pay a water right fee in lieu thereof. Page 98 of 185 4 FINDINGS OF FACT State law (RCW 58.17.010) and the Pasco Municipal Code require the Planning Commission to develop Findings of Fact as to how this proposed subdivision will protect and enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the community. The following is a listing of proposed "Findings of Fact:" Prevent Overcrowding: Density, setback and parking requirements of the residential zoning districts are designed to address overcrowding concerns. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property in question could be developed with 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre. The proposed plat has a density of approximately 7.5 units per acre. No more than 60 percent of each lot is permitted to be covered with structures per the proposed R-3 standards. Parks Opens Space/Schools: Park impact fees will be collected at the time of permitting to be used for park development including development of a large community park. Virgie Robinson Elementary School is located approximately half a mile northwest of the project site. The City is required by RCW 58.17.110 to make a finding that adequate provisions are being made to ameliorate the impacts of the proposed subdivision on the School District. At the request of the School District the City enacted a school impact fee in 2012. The imposition of this impact fee addresses the requirement to ensure there are adequate provisions for schools. A school impact fee in the amount of $4,700 per single-family unit and $4,525 per multi-family unit will be charged for each dwelling unit at the time of building permit issuance. Effective Land Use/Orderly Development: The plat is laid out for multi-family development as identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The maximum density permitted under the Comprehensive Plan is 20 dwelling units per acre. The developer is proposing a density of 7.5 units per acre. Safe Travel & Walking Conditions: The plat will connect to the community through the existing network of streets. Sidewalks are required in the R-3 zone and will be installed at the time homes are built on individual lots. The sidewalks will be constructed to current City standards and to the standards of the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA ramps at the corners of all intersection will be installed with the construction of the road improvements. Adequate Provision of Municipal Services: All lots within the plat will be provided with water, sewer and other utilities. Provision of Housing for State Residents: This plat contains 109 residential building lots, providing an opportunity for the construction of 106 new dwelling units in Pasco. Page 99 of 185 5 Adequate Air and Light: The maximum lot coverage limitations, building height restrictions and building setbacks will assure that adequate movement of air and light is available to each lot. Proper Access & Travel: The streets through and adjoining the plat have been or will be paved and developed to City standards to assure proper access is maintained to each lot. Connections to the community will be provided by S Cedar Avenue and E Helena Street. The Preliminary Plat was submitted to the Transit Authority for review. (The discussion under “Safe Travel” above applies to this section also.) Comprehensive Plan Policies & Maps: The Comprehensive Plan designates the plat site for mixed-residential development. Policies of the Comprehensive Plan encourage the advancement of home ownership and suggest the City strive to maintain a variety of housing for residents. Other Findings: • The site is within the Pasco Urban Growth Boundary. • The State Growth Management Act requires urban growth and urban densities to occur within the Urban Growth Boundaries. • The site is relatively flat with a gentle slope from the northeast to the southwest. • The site is not considered a critical area, a mineral resource area or a wetland. • The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for Mixed-Residential development. • Mixed-Residential development is described in the Comprehensive Plan as 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre. • The site is zoned R-2 (Medium Density Residential). • The developer has concurrently applied to rezone the site to R-3 (Medium- Density Residential). • The plat’s current lot density and layout is contingent upon the approval of aforementioned rezone. • The developer is proposing 7.5 dwelling units per acre with zero lot line construction. • The site falls within the landfill plume area. • The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the advancement of programs that promote home ownership and development of a variety of residential densities and housing types. Page 100 of 185 6 • The Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the interconnection of neighborhood streets to provide for the disbursement of traffic. • The interconnection of neighborhood streets is necessary for utility connections (looping) and the provision of emergency services. • Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition the proposed subdivision, when fully developed, will generate approximately 633 vehicle trips per day. • The current traffic impact fee is $709 per dwelling unit. The impact fees are collected at the time permits are issued and said fees are used to make traffic improvements and add traffic signals in the I-182 Corridor when warranted. However, traffic impact fees apply only to new dwellings located west of 20th Avenue; therefore, traffic impact fees will not apply for this development. • The current park impact fee is $1,466 per dwelling unit. The fee can be reduced by 58 percent if a developer dedicates a five acre park site to the City. The dedication of a fully constructed park reduces the fee by 93 percent. • RCW 58.17.110 requires the City to make a finding that adequate provisions have been made for schools before any preliminary plat is approved. • The City of Pasco has adopted a school impact fee ordinance compelling new housing developments to provide the School District with mitigation fees. The fee was effective April 16, 2012. • Past correspondence from the Pasco School District indicates impact fees address the requirement to ensure adequate provisions are made for schools. • The plat is required to be development following all municipal codes relating to infrastructure improvements. • Plat improvements within the City of Pasco are required to comply with the 2015 Standard Drawings and Specification as approved by the City Engineer. These improvements include but are not limited to water, sewer and irrigation lines, streets, street lights and storm water retention. The handicapped-accessible pedestrian ramps are completed with the street and curb improvements prior to final plat approval. Sidewalks are installed at the time permits are issued for new houses, except sidewalks along major streets, which are installed with the street improvements. • Water lines and fire hydrants are required to be looped. An easement between two lots may be required to accomplish the looping. • Per PMC 12.36.050 the developer must extend all utilities to and through the subject parcel(s). Page 101 of 185 7 • All engineering designs for infrastructure and final plat(s) drawings are required to utilize the published City of Pasco Vertical Control Datum. • All storm water generated from a developed plat is required to be disposed of per City and State codes and requirements. Prior to the City of Pasco accepting construction plans for review the developer is required to enter into a Storm Water Maintenance Agreement with the City. The developer is responsible for obtaining the signatures of all parties required on the agreement and to have the agreement recorded with the Franklin County Auditor. The original signed and recorded copy of the agreement is presented to the City of Pasco at the intake meeting for construction plans. • Storm water runoff and infiltration calculations must comply with the Storm Water Management Manual for Easter Washington, they must be provided for review and approval. Storm water calculations must be prepared, stamped, signed and dated by a currently licensed Professional Engineer registered in the State of Washington. • The assignment of water rights is a requirement for subdivision approval per Pasco Municipal Code Section 26.04.115(B) and Section 3.07.160. • The developer is responsible for all costs associated with construction, inspection, and plan review service expenses incurred by the City Engineering Office. • The City has nuisance regulations (PMC 9.60) that require property owners (including developers) to maintain their properties in a manner that does not injure, annoy, or endanger the comfort and repose of other property owners. This includes controlling dust, weeds and litter during times of construction for both subdivisions and buildings including houses. • Prior to acceptance of final plats developers are required to prepare and submit record drawings. All record drawings shall be created in accordance with the requirements detailed in the Record Drawing Requirements and Procedure form provided by the Engineering Division. This form must be signed by the developer prior to construction plan approval. • The final plat will contain 10-foot utility easements parallel to all streets. Additional easement will be provided as needed by utility providers. CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT Before recommending approval or denial of the proposed plat the Planning Commission must develop findings of fact from which to draw its conclusion (P.M.C. 26.24.070) therefrom as to whether or not: (1) Adequate provisions are made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for open spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks, playgrounds, transit Page 102 of 185 8 stops, schools and school grounds, sidewalks for safe walking conditions for students and other public needs; The proposed plat will be required to develop under the standards of the Pasco Municipal Code and the standard specifications of the City Engineering Division. These standards for streets, sidewalks, and other infrastructure improvements were designed to ensure that the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community are secured. These standards include provisions for streets, drainage, water and sewer service, and the provision for dedication of right-of- way. The preliminary plat was forwarded to the PUD, the Pasco School District, Cascade Gas, Charter Cable, Franklin County Irrigation District and Ben- Franklin Transit Authority for review and comment. Based on the School Districts Capital Facilities Plan the City collects school mitigation fees for each new dwelling unit. The fee is paid at the time of building permit issuance. The school impact fee addresses the requirements of RCW 58.17.110. All new developments participate in establishing parks through the payment of park fees at the time of permitting. (2) The proposed subdivision contributes to the orderly development and land use patterns in the area; The proposed plat is an infill development and is designed to make the most efficient use of vacant parcels of land. (3) The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and narrative text of the Comprehensive Plan; The Comprehensive Plan land use map designates the site for Mixed Residential development. Mixed Residential development is described as 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre in the text of the Comprehensive Plan. The Housing Element of the Plan encourages the promotion of a variety of residential densities and suggests the community should support the advancement of programs encouraging home ownership. The Plan also encourages the interconnection of local streets for inter-neighborhood travel for public safety as well as providing for traffic disbursement. (4) The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of any applicable policies or plans which have been adopted by the City Council; Development plans and policies have been adopted by the City Council in the form of the Comprehensive Plan.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: A Portion of Township 9 N, Range 30 E, Section 28 General Location: The 600 block of S Cedar Avenue Property Size: 14.47 acres Number of Lots Proposed: 106 multi-family duplexes and 3 single-family homes (109 dwellings total) Square Footage Range of Lots: 3,212 square feet to 18,160 square feet Average Lot Square Footage: 4,436 square feet 2. ACCESS: The property has access from S Cedar Ave and the proposed extension of E Helena St 3. UTILITIES: Municipal water and sewer service are located in S Cedar Ave and E Helena St 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned R-2 (Medium-Density Residential). Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: NORTH: R-2 Vacant EAST: R-1A SFDUs SOUTH: R-1A SFDUs WEST: R-1 SFDUs/Vacant 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan indicates the site is intended for mixed residential development. According to the Comprehensive Plan, mixed residential development Page 115 of 185 2 means 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre. The criteria for allocation under the future land use section of Volume II of the Comprehensive Plan (Vol. II, page 17) encourages development of lands designated for mixed residential uses when or where sewer is available, when the location is suitable for home sites, and when there is a market demand for new home sites. Policy H-1-E encourages the advancement of home ownership and Goal H-2 suggests the City strive to maintain a variety of housing options for residents of the community. Goal LU-2 encourages the maintenance of established neighborhoods and the creation of new neighborhoods that are safe and enjoyable places to live. 6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Based on the SEPA checklist, the adopted City Comprehensive Plan, City development regulations, testimony at the public hearing and other information, a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS) has been issued for this project (WAC 197-11-355). ANALYSIS The project site includes five contiguous parcels on which four existing houses and various accessory structures are located. The site was annexed into the City in 1994 and zoned R-2 (Medium Density Residential). The applicant intends to concurrently rezone the project site from R-2 to R-3—increasing the housing density as a result—and develop the site with zero lot line multi-family duplexes in phases. Of the allowable zones under the Mixed Residential designation, the R-3 zone allows for the highest residential density at a rate of one dwelling unit for every 3,000 ft² of land area or 14.5 units per acre. In this case, the applicant proposes 109 lots on 14.47 acres which calculates out to 7.5 units per acre. The proposed plat is a multi-family plat designed to promote home ownership on lots with R-3 densities. This proposal is identical to the process that was used for the development of the Island Estates Row Homes in the Island Estates subdivision (Phase 8), Mediterranean Villas and Columbia Villas Phases 1, 2 and 3. Each of these subdivisions was zoned for multi-family development and platted into individual lots. The lot lines within these subdivisions became the common boundary line separating the multi-family dwelling units built therein. This enables the dwelling unit to be solid individually addressing one of the Comprehensive Plan goals dealing with affordable housing. The final dwelling unit density and lot layout will be contingent upon the approval of the proposed rezone to R-3. Should the rezone be denied, the applicant will be required to alter the lot layout according to R- 2 zoning density standards and resubmit. The site borders one existing roadway—S Cedar Avenue—and will border the extension of E Helena St when it is constructed with phases 1 and 2. Much of the frontage along the site has not yet been improved with curb, gutter, sidewalk, etc. Construction of these improvements will be required as a part of the subdivision improvements and/or building permit approvals. Three of the four existing houses on the site will remain on scaled-down lots to be integrated with the rest of the development. All other structures will be demolished. The proposed plat will provide additional lots within the Urban Growth Area (UGA) for single-family homes consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed plat can be considered an infill development on property that has been vacant since it was platted in 1888. LOT LAYOUT: The proposed plat contains 109 residential lots. The lots vary in size from 3,212 square feet to 18,160 square feet. The average lot size is 4,436 square feet. The proposal is consistent with the density Page 116 of 185 3 requirements of the proposed R-3 zoning; however, the lot density must be altered if the current R-2 zoning district prevails. RIGHTS-OF-WAY: All lots have frontage on streets which will be dedicated. East Helena Street will be extended through the plat and the proposed east/west street labeled “Noelia Street” on the face of the plat will provide the development with additional ingress/egress. UTILITIES: Municipal water and sewer line are located in surrounding streets and will be extended to and through the plat to serve the new lots. A utility easement will be needed along the first 10 feet of street frontage of all lots. The final location and width of the easements will be determined during the engineering design phase. The front yard setbacks for construction purposes are larger than the requested easements; therefore, the front yard easements will not diminish the buildable area of the lots. The City Engineer will determine the specific placement of fire hydrants and streetlights when construction plans are submitted. As a general rule, fire hydrants are located at street intersections and with a maximum interval of 500 feet between hydrants on alternating sides of the street. Streetlights are located at street intersections, with a maximum interval of less than 300 feet on residential streets, and with a maximum interval of 150 feet on arterial streets. The intervals for street light placements are measure along the centerline of the road. Street lights are placed on alternating sides of the street. STREET NAMES: The proposed street names have been shown on the face of the plat but are subject to change if necessary. IRRIGATION: There is no irrigation service in this neighborhood. WATER RIGHTS: The assignment of water rights is a requirement for subdivision approval per Pasco Municipal Code Section 26.04.115(B) and Section 3.07.160. If no water rights are available to transfer to the City the property owner/developer must pay a water right fee in lieu thereof. INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT State law (RCW 58.17.010) and the Pasco Municipal Code require the Planning Commission to develop Findings of Fact as to how this proposed subdivision will protect and enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the community. The following is a listing of proposed "Findings of Fact”: Prevent Overcrowding: Density, setback and parking requirements of the residential zoning districts are designed to address overcrowding concerns. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property in question could be developed with 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre. The proposed plat has a density of approximately 7.5 units per acre. No more than 60 percent of each lot is permitted to be covered with structures per the proposed R-3 standards. Parks Opens Space/Schools: Park impact fees will be collected at the time of permitting to be used for park development including development of a large community park. Virgie Robinson Elementary School is located approximately half a mile northwest of the project site. The City is required by RCW 58.17.110 to make a finding that adequate provisions are being made to ameliorate the impacts of the proposed subdivision on the School District. At the request of the School District the City enacted a school impact fee in 2012. The imposition of this impact fee addresses the requirement to ensure there are adequate provisions for schools. A school impact fee in the amount of $4,700 per single-family unit and $4,525 per multi-family unit will be charged for each dwelling unit at the time of building permit issuance. Page 117 of 185 4 Effective Land Use/Orderly Development: The plat is laid out for multi-family development as identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The maximum density permitted under the Comprehensive Plan is 20 dwelling units per acre. The developer is proposing a density of 7.5 units per acre. Safe Travel & Walking Conditions: The plat will connect to the community through the existing network of streets. Sidewalks are required in the R-3 zone and will be installed at the time homes are built on individual lots. The sidewalks will be constructed to current City standards and to the standards of the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA ramps at the corners of all intersection will be installed with the construction of the road improvements. Adequate Provision of Municipal Services: All lots within the plat will be provided with water, sewer and other utilities. Provision of Housing for State Residents: This plat contains 109 residential building lots, providing an opportunity for the construction of 106 new dwelling units in Pasco. Adequate Air and Light: The maximum lot coverage limitations, building height restrictions and building setbacks will assure that adequate movement of air and light is available to each lot. Proper Access & Travel: The streets through and adjoining the plat have been or will be paved and developed to City standards to assure proper access is maintained to each lot. Connections to the community will be provided by S Cedar Avenue and E Helena Street. The Preliminary Plat was submitted to the Transit Authority for review. (The discussion under “Safe Travel” above applies to this section also.) Comprehensive Plan Policies & Maps: The Comprehensive Plan designates the plat site for mixed- residential development. Policies of the Comprehensive Plan encourage the advancement of home ownership and suggest the City strive to maintain a variety of housing for residents. Other Findings: • The site is within the Pasco Urban Growth Boundary. • The State Growth Management Act requires urban growth and urban densities to occur within the Urban Growth Boundaries. • The site is relatively flat with a gentle slope from the northeast to the southwest. • The site is not considered a critical area, a mineral resource area or a wetland. • The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for Mixed-Residential development. • Mixed-Residential development is described in the Comprehensive Plan as 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre. • The site is zoned R-2 (Medium Density Residential); however, the applicant has concurrently submitted a rezone request from R-2 to R-3 for the subject property, which will increase the allowed housing density of the property if approved. • The plat’s current lot density and layout is contingent upon the approval of aforementioned rezone. • The developer is proposing 7.5 dwelling units per acre with zero lot line construction. • The site falls within the landfill plume area. Page 118 of 185 5 • The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the advancement of programs that promote home ownership and development of a variety of residential densities and housing types. • The Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the interconnection of neighborhood streets to provide for the disbursement of traffic. • The interconnection of neighborhood streets is necessary for utility connections (looping) and the provision of emergency services. • Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition the proposed subdivision, when fully developed, will generate approximately 633 vehicle trips per day. • The current traffic impact fee is $709 per dwelling unit. The impact fees are collected at the time permits are issued and said fees are used to make traffic improvements and add traffic signals in the I-182 Corridor when warranted. However, traffic impact fees apply only to new dwellings located west of 20th Avenue; therefore, traffic impact fees will not apply for this development. • The current park impact fee is $1,466 per dwelling unit. The fee can be reduced by 58 percent if a developer dedicates a five acre park site to the City. The dedication of a fully constructed park reduces the fee by 93 percent. • RCW 58.17.110 requires the City to make a finding that adequate provisions have been made for schools before any preliminary plat is approved. • The City of Pasco has adopted a school impact fee ordinance compelling new housing developments to provide the School District with mitigation fees.

CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT Before recommending approval or denial of the proposed plat the Planning Commission must develop findings of fact from which to draw its conclusion (P.M.C. 26.24.070) therefrom as to whether or not: 1. Adequate provisions are made for the public health, safety and general welfare and for open spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks, playgrounds, transit stops, schools and school grounds, sidewalks for safe walking conditions for students and other public needs; a. The proposed plat will be required to develop under the standards of the Pasco Municipal Code and the standard specifications of the City Engineering Division. These standards for streets, sidewalks, and other infrastructure improvements were designed to ensure that the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community are secured. These standards include provisions for streets, drainage, water and sewer service, and the provision for dedication of right-of-way. The preliminary plat was forwarded to the PUD, the Pasco School District, Cascade Gas, Charter Cable, Franklin County Irrigation District and Ben-Franklin Transit Authority for review and comment. Based on the School Districts Capital Facilities Plan the City collects school mitigation fees for each new dwelling unit. The fee is paid at the time of building permit issuance. The school impact fee addresses the requirements of RCW 58.17.110. All new developments participate in establishing parks through the payment of park fees at the time of permitting. Page 120 of 185 7 2. The proposed subdivision contributes to the orderly development and land use patterns in the area; a. The proposed plat is an infill development and is designed to make the most efficient use of vacant parcels of land. 3. The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and narrative text of the Comprehensive Plan; a. The Comprehensive Plan land use map designates the site for Mixed Residential development. Mixed Residential development is described as 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre in the text of the Comprehensive Plan. The Housing Element of the Plan encourages the promotion of a variety of residential densities and suggests the community should support the advancement of programs encouraging home ownership. The Plan also encourages the interconnection of local streets for inter-neighborhood travel for public safety as well as providing for traffic disbursement. 4. The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of any applicable policies or plans which have been adopted by the City Council; a. Development plans and policies have been adopted by the City Council in the form of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and narrative text of the Plan as noted in number three above. 5. The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of the subdivision regulations; a. The general purposes of the subdivision regulations have been enumerated and discussed in the staff analysis and Findings of Fact. The Findings of Fact indicate the subdivision is in conformance with the general purposes of the subdivision regulations provided certain mitigation measures (i.e., school impact fees are paid). 6. The public use and interest will be served by approval of the proposed subdivision; a. The proposed plat, if approved, will be developed in accordance with all City standards designed to ensure the health, safety and general welfare of the community are met. The Comprehensive Plan will be implemented through development of this plat. These factors will ensure the public use and interest are served. TENTATIVE PLAT APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1. No utility vaults, pedestals, or other obstructions will be allowed at street intersections. 2.

If no water rights are available then the property owner shall pay to the City, in lieu thereof, a water rights acquisition fee as established in the City Fee Summary Ordinance located in PMC 3.07. PMC 26.04.115. 7. A traffic impact analysis (TIA) will be required prior to development of any portion of this preliminary plat. The scope of this TIA must be submitted and approved by the City of Pasco. 8.

Preliminary Plat Preliminary Plat, Cedar Flats, 109 Lots (Knutzen Engineering) (MF# PP 2018-009) Chairperson Myhrum read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Darcy Bourcier, Planner I, discussed the preliminary plat application for Cedar Flats, 109 lots. The development would include zero lot line single-family homes. Many of these developments have been seen around Pasco. Commissioner Bowers asked where Island Estates was located. Ms. Bourcier said they were located west of Walmart in West Pasco. Fernando Lizarazo, 2004 S. Olympia Street, Kennewick, WA spoke on behalf of his preliminary plat application. They are envisioning 2-story units with 5/12 pitch. Paul Knutzen, 5453 Ridgeline Drive, Ste. 120, Kennewick, WA spoke on behalf of his preliminary plat application. He added that the homes would likely be between 25’-27’ in height. Commissioner Bowers asked about 3 single-family homes that were shown on the proposed plat and if they were already existing or if they were going to be new construction. Mr. Knutzen replied that they were already existing. With no further questions or comments the public hearing closed. Commissioner J. Campos moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to close the hearing on the proposed preliminary plat and set January 17, 2019 as the date for deliberations and the development of a recommendation for the City Council.

Preliminary Plat Preliminary Plat, Cedar Flats, 109 Lots (Knutzen Engineering) (MF# PP 2018-009) Chairperson Roach read the master file number and asked for comments from staff. Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, discussed the preliminary plat application for Cedar Flats. There were no additional comments to add since the previous meeting. Chairperson Roach asked about vacated roads and alleyways. Mr. White said there were street and alley vacations several years ago when the Kurtzman LID’s were formed. The plat itself will be dedicating the new rights of ways and the new public streets will be as indicated in the proposed plat. Chairperson Roach asked for clarification on the land fill plume. Mr. White responded that it is the remnants of a super fund site. The chemicals deposited in the landfill have leaked and contaminated ground water so the plume is being remediated by the Department of Ecology. There will be further effort at that site in the next couple of years. The plume has the effect of not allowing down plume properties to be able to use groundwater. The City will be making water available and made city potable water available for those properties. Chairperson Roach asked if there will be an understanding to future property owners regarding the plume. Mr. White said no but there is a prohibition against any new wells, even for irrigation purposes. It is not a physical danger unless the water is consumed so all measures have been taken to prevent that. Commissioner J. Campos moved, seconded by Commissioner A. Campos, to adopt findings of fact and conclusions therefrom as contained in the January 17, 2019 staff report. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner J. Campos moved, seconded by Commissioner A. Campos, based on the findings of fact and conclusions therefrom, the Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve the preliminary plat for Cedar Flats with conditions as listed in the January 17, 2019 staff report. The motion passed unanimously.

REFERENCE(S): Vicinity Map Proposed Ordinance Report to Planning Commission Dated: 01/17/2019 Planning Commission Minutes Dated: 12/20/2018 and 01/17/19 II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. ______, rezoning four parcels from C -1 (Retail Cto Transition) (Residential RT and District) Business -(General 3 Commercial) with restrictions as contained in the Concomitant Agreement, and further, authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: On December 20, 2018 and January 17, 2019. the Planning Commission conducted public hearings to consider a request to rezone parcels #113 884 138, 113 883 031, 113 883 040, and 113 883 022 from C-1 and RT to C-3. Following the conduct of a public hearing, the Planning Commission reasoned it would be appropriate to rezone the property to C-3 and is recommending approval of the requested rezone with restrictions as contained in the Concomitant Agreement. V. DISCUSSION: Page 134 of 185 A Concomitant Agreement is considered necessary for this application due to the residentially zoned property to the north and east. The Concomitant Agreement includes distance separation of the more intensive C-3 uses as well as screening and landscaping. A Concomitant Agreement conditions development by applying property-specific provisions at the time of zoning or rezoning. The conditions of the Agreement are applied to the property until it is amended or repealed by City Council through a subsequent application.

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).  Lot # APN Zoning Lot 1 113884138 C‐1 Lot 2 113883031 C‐1 Lot 3 113883040 C‐1 Lot 4 113883022 RT Page 144 of 185 3   ANALYSIS  Applicant is seeking to rezone several tax parcels located at the northeast corner of Heritage Boulevard  and East “A” Street from C‐1 (Retail Business District) and RT (Residential Transition) to C‐3 (General  Business), consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation for the property.  The site, platted in 1913 as the Washington Addition to Pasco, was originally designed as a residential  neighborhood but was never developed. With the exception of a single small block outbuilding, the site is  vacant.  The  site  was  annexed  into  the  City  in  1994  (Ordinance  3033)  and  assigned  the  Residential  Transition zoning designation. The RT zone is typically used as a holding zone for areas that lack utility  services. As utilities and infrastructure become available RT zoned properties are then zoned to match the  land use designations of the Comprehensive Plan.  In February of 2011 Applicant was granted a vacation (Ordinance 3996) of all streets and alleys within  Blocks 7, 9, and 10 of Washington Addition.  In 2016 a Comprehensive Plan Amendment was approved (Ordinance 4328), changing the Land Use Map  designation of the area from Low‐Density Residential and Mixed Residential/Commercial to Commercial.  Applicant subsequently received approval for a rezone (Ordinance 3998; March 2011) of the southern  portion of the area from RT (Residential Transition) to C‐1 (Retail Business District).  Under the current Comprehensive Plan land use designation of commercial, the property could be zoned  for “O”, C‐1, C‐2, C‐3, CR, and BP zoning (C‐2 zoning is only for the Central Business District).  Applicant now wants to rezone the site from C‐1 and RT to C‐3 so as to expand the possible uses of the  property.  As per PMC 25.46.020 The following uses shall be permitted in the C‐3 district:   1. All uses permitted in the C‐1/ C‐2 districts;  2. Service stations;   3. Laundry;   4. Trucking, express and storage yards;   5. Wholesale business;   6. Heavy machinery sales and service;   7. Warehouse;   8. Landscape gardening and storage area for equipment and materials;   9. Automobile sales and service;   10. Mobile home and trailer sales and service;   11. Lumber sales business;   12. Veterinarian clinics for household pets (including indoor boarding facilities); and Parking lots  within 500 feet of a C‐2 district boundary provided, such lots are paved and the development  complies with the landscape and fencing requirements of the C‐1 district, as enumerated in  subsection 25.42.020(13). Contractor’s plant or storage yard provided such plant or yard is  more than 300 feet from a residential district.  Page 145 of 185 4 Uses allowed in the C‐3 Zoning District with a Special Permit include the following:  1. “Veterinarian clinics for livestock, including outdoor treatment facilities, provided all boarding or  overnight holding of animals occurs indoors;   2. Auto body shops;   3. Parking lots;   4. Contractor’ s plant or storage yard within 300 feet of a residential district; and Unclassified uses.”  Rezone Criteria  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:  Block  7  (APN  # 113883022):  The  current  zoning  classification  of  RT  (Residential  Transition)  became  effective on July 23, 1994 (Ordinance 3033), upon annexation into the City.  Blocks 9 & 10: (APNs #113884138 & #113883031) the C‐1 zoning classification became effective March  12, 2011 (Ordinance 3998).   2. The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:  Heritage Boulevard has been upgraded and realigned to accommodate heavy truck traffic originating from  the industrially zoned properties to the south, and some industrial uses have been developed to the  southeast of the site. High‐density housing has been developed to the east (Tierra Vida Apartments).  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 allow for development of a broader spectrum of commercial enterprises in the area, providing 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  commercial  services  consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Any development will require developers to install/upgrade  street, utilities and landscaping in the area, thus improving the value of surrounding properties on Lewis  Street. Residential properties may decrease in value, or increase in value at a slower rate due to the  proximity of more intense uses.  5. The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:  Block 7 (APN # 113883022): Because the RT zoning permits single family homes on a minimum of 5 acres  for development, and the property zoned RT comprises approximately 3.2 acres, the property owners will  be severely limited by the constraints of the RT zoning designation in their ability to either develop or to  sell the property.  Blocks 9 & 10: (APNs #113884138 & #113883031) Applicant would still be able to use the property for all  uses permitted in the ‘O’ and C‐1 zoning districts.       Page 146 of 185 5   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. Applicant is seeking to rezone several tax parcels from C‐1 (Retail Business District) and RT  (Residential  Transition)  to  C‐3 (General  Business),  consistent with the Comprehensive Plan  designation for the property.  2. The parcels are located at the northeast corner of Heritage Boulevard and East “A Street   3. The site was platted in 1913 as the Washington Addition to Pasco but was never developed.   4. The site was originally designed as a residential neighborhood.   5. With the exception of a single small concrete outbuilding, the site is vacant.   6. The site was annexed into the City in 1994 (Ordinance 3033).   7. The site was assigned the Residential Transition zoning designation at time of annexation.   8. The RT zone is typically used as a holding zone for areas that lack utility services. As utilities and  infrastructure become available RT zoned properties are then zoned to match the land use  designations of the Comprehensive Plan.  9. all streets and alleys within Blocks 7, 9, and 10 of Washington Addition were vacated in February  of 2011 with Ordinance 3996.  10. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment changing the Land Use Map designation of the area from Low‐ Density Residential and Mixed Residential/Commercial to Commercial was approved In 2016  (Ordinance 4328).  11. The southern portion of the site was rezoned from RT (Residential Transition) to C‐1 (Retail  Business District) via Ordinance 3998 in March 2011).  12. Under the current Comprehensive Plan land use designation of commercial, the property could  be zoned for “O”, C‐1, C‐2, C‐3, CR, and BP zoning (C‐2 zoning is only for the Central Business  District).    13. Applicant has applied to rezone the site from C‐1 (Retail Business District) and RT (Residential  Transition) to C‐3 (General Business).  14. As per PMC 25.46.020 The following uses are permitted in the C‐3 district:   a. All uses permitted in the C‐1/ C‐2 districts;  b. Service stations;   c. Laundry;   d. Trucking, express and storage yards;   e. Wholesale business;   f. Heavy machinery sales and service;   g. Warehouse;   Page 147 of 185 6 h. Landscape gardening and storage area for equipment and materials;   i. Automobile sales and service;   j. Mobile home and trailer sales and service;   k. Lumber sales business;   l. Veterinarian clinics for household pets (including indoor boarding facilities); and Parking lots  within 500 feet of a C‐2 district boundary provided, such lots are paved and the development  complies with the landscape and fencing requirements of the C‐1 district, as enumerated in  subsection 25.42.020(13). Contractor’ s plant or storage yard provided such plant or yard is  more than 300 feet from a residential district.  15. The following uses are allowed in the C‐3 Zoning District upon issuance of a Special Permit:  m. “Veterinarian clinics for livestock, including outdoor treatment facilities, provided all boarding  or overnight holding of animals occurs indoors;   n. Auto body shops; Parking lots;   o. Contractor’ s plant or storage yard within 300 feet of a residential district; and Unclassified  uses.”  The proposed rezone area is shown in the Comprehensive Plan for Commercial zoning. Commercial zoning  permits the C‐3 (General Commercial Medium) zoning district. The proposed rezone is consistent with the  referenced plans; however, the area is adjacent a residentially zoned district which may suffer negative  impacts from the more intense uses allowed in the C‐3 zoning district.   Staff recommends the provision of a concomitant agreement to mitigate for these possible impacts.    TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL 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 Comprehensive Plan Policy  LU‐4‐A, which recommends the City “Locate commercial facilities at major street intersections to avoid  commercial sprawl and avoid disruptions of residential neighborhoods, and leverage major infrastructure  availability.” The site is at the intersection of two arterial streets; Heritage Boulevard and East “A” Street,  both major truck routes.    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 Commercial zoning. Commercial zoning  permits the C‐3 (General Commercial Medium) zoning district. The proposed rezone is consistent with the  referenced plans; however, the area is adjacent a residentially zoned area and uses allowed in the C‐3  zoning district are typically buffered from residential uses by less intensive zoning districts. As such, this  Page 148 of 185 7 proposal may be materially detrimental to future nearby developments that will need to conform to the  provision of the plans. A concomitant agreement is advisable.  3.  There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.  The proposed zoning is consistent with the Plan’s Land Use Map. The site is located at the intersection of  two major truck routes (Heritage Boulevard and East “A” Street); Comprehensive Plan Policy LU‐4‐A  requires the City to “Locate commercial facilities at major street intersections to avoid commercial sprawl  and avoid disruptions of residential neighborhoods, and leverage major infrastructure availability.” 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.  The Pasco Municipal Code includes design standards for commercial development. If or when applicants  pursue the development of this property, they 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 considered necessary for this application; the site is directly east of an  existing residential development across Heritage Boulevard, and immediately adjacent zoned residential  to the north and east. Typical separation of C‐3 uses when the property develops should appear in the  form of a solid block wall and landscaping elements as per PMC 25.75. Distance buffers from more  intensive uses otherwise allowed within the C‐3 zoning district may also be appropriate.    RECOMMENDATION  OPTION #1    MOTION:   I move to close the hearing on the proposed rezone and set February 21, 2019 as the date for  deliberations and the development of a recommendation for the City Council.      OPTION #2    MOTION:  I move to close the hearing and adopt Findings of Fact and conclusions therefrom as contained  in the January 17, 2019 staff report.    MOTION:  I move based on the Findings of Fact and conclusions as adopted the Planning Commission  recommend the City Council rezone the three parcels from C‐1 and RT to C‐ with restrictions  contained in the Concomitant Agreement.        Page 149 of 185 “Exhibit # 1”    CONCOMITANT ZONING AGREEMENT     WHEREAS, the City of Pasco, Washington, a non‐charter code city, under the laws of

Business) to C‐3 (General Business).  The Comprehensive Plan designation for this site is Commercial which  allows  various  types  of  commercial  zoning  districts.  Some  of  the current zoning on the site is not in  conformance with the Comprehensive Plan but the proposal to rezone would put the site into conformance.   The staff report contains a list of uses allowed in the C‐3 zone, which is the heaviest of the commercial zones.   It explains that there are additional uses that could be allowed in the C‐3 zone with a special use permit. The  site adjacent to the rezone is existing residential zoning and for that reason, staff recommends a concomitant  agreement to further restrict the uses that could impact that adjacent residential zoning. The applicant is not  present at the hearing so staff would recommend the hearing to be continued since he was unable to attend.    Commissioner Greenaway asked if staff knew what the applicant was planning to place on this property.    Mr. White replied that as far as he knows he is planning for additional flexibility with uses but nothing specific  at this time.    There were no further questions or comments.

Howard Rowell, 11720 Pheasant Run, spoke in support of his rezone application.  He stated the main rezone  for his rezone was to bring the zoning together and offer more opportunities for potential buyers.  He stated  that he was fine with the restrictions included in the concomitant agreement.    Commissioner Bykonen, Commissioner Bowers and Chairperson Roach had questions for the applicant.    He responded that he was aware of the requirement for a block wall and accepts the condition should the

Manager Rick White, Director Community & Economic Development Special Meeting: 2/11/19 FROM: Darcy Bourcier, Planner I Community & Economic Development SUBJECT: ROW Vacation: Vacating a portion of Saint Thomas Drive (VAC 2019-001) I. REFERENCE(S): Proposed Resolution Overview Map Vicinity Map Vacation Petition II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No._____, a resolution setting 7:00 P.M., Monday, March 4, 2019 as the time and date to conduct a public hearing to consider vacating a portion of Saint Thomas Drive near the intersection of Saint Thomas Drive and Broadmoor Boulevard. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The property owner of the parcel located at the southeast corner of Saint Thomas Drive and Broadmoor Boulevard (Parcel #115 470 029) has petitioned for the vacation of right-of-way from a remnant circular street feature at the most western end of Saint Thomas Drive before said street connects with Broadmoor Boulevard. The right-of- way in question is unused and does not have vehicular access. The petition requires the City Council to fix a public hearing to consider the vacation request. The earliest regular City Council meeting available for a public hearing which provides the statutory 20-day hearing notice is March 4, 2019. Page 163 of 185 V. DISCUSSION: Per PMC 12.40 the Council may require compensation for vacated rights -of-way. The compensation involves obtaining a title report and appraisal of value. However, the compensation and the requirements attached thereto may be waived if one or more of the following conditions apply: 1. The vacation is initiated by the City Council by Resolution; 2. The vacation is at the request of the City; 3. The right-of-way to be vacated was previously determined by the City Council not to be essential to public traffic circulation and available for vacation; 4. The grant of substitute right-of-way which has a value as a right-of-way at least equal to that right-of-way to be vacated; and 5. The resulting benefit to the community of the project requiring the vacation outweighs the appraised value of the right-of-way to be vacated. The bulbous right-of-way intended to facilitate a circular street feature at the entrance of Saint Thomas Drive was dedicated to the City in May of 1994 by Metropolitan Mortgage & Securities Co., Inc. However, in 1998, the entrance to Saint Thomas Drive was redesigned and the circular feature was abandoned in favor of simply connecting Saint Thomas Drive to Broadmoor Boulevard as a standard T-shaped intersection. The circular right-of-way from the abandoned feature remains on both the north and south properties.

REFERENCE(S): Vicinity Map Resolution II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. _______ fixing a time and place for hearing on the final assessment roll for Local Improvement District No. 150, and directing that notice thereof be given in the manner required by law. III. FISCAL IMPACT: Total Estimated Project Cost: $11.2M *Project Estimate will be updated based on Construction Bids received. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The Project In 2016, Department of Natural Resources (DNR) parceled and sold 230 acres bounded by Road 84, Road 68, Argent Road and the Franklin County Irrigation District (FCID) canal, and I-182. The City's Comprehensive Plan identifies the Chapel Hill Boulevard corridor through this area as a connection from Road 100 to Road 68. LID Process Local Improvement Districts (LIDs) are a means of assisting benefiting properties in financing needed capital improvements through the formation of special assessment districts. Special assessment districts provide the opportunity for improvements to be financed and paid for over a period of time through assessments on the benefiting properties. Page 174 of 185 Ordinance No. 4393 By Ordinance No. 4393, adopted August 20, 2018, the City Council ordered the improvement of Chapel Hill Boulevard from Road 68 to Road 84, including the intersection with Road 76, and created LID 150. Further, Ordinance No. 4393 was based on the premise that the confirmation of the final assessment roll and the issuance of bonds to finance construction of the Improvements as planned will result in avoidance of substantial interim financing costs. V. DISCUSSION: Staff recommends approval of a resolution which sets a public hearing date of March 18, 2019 for Council consideration of the final assessment roll for Local Improvement District 150. The timing of this hearing will be sufficient to receive, evaluate and award construction bids for the project. Depending on the bid results, the total estimated project cost of $11.2 million may increase or decrease accordingly.

City Manager Special Meeting: 2/11/19 FROM: Steve Worley, Public Works Director Public Works SUBJECT: Bid Award - 14001 Harris Road Sewer Transmission Main I. REFERENCE(S): Vicinity Map Bid Tabulation II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to award the Harris Road Sewer Transmission Main project to Culbert Construction, Inc. in the base bid amount of $2,412,115.89 and, further, authorize the City Manager to execute the contract documents. III. FISCAL IMPACT: Fund 450 Sewer - Fund Balance $ 90,747 Fund 450 Sewer - 2017 Revenue Bond $ 3,890,733 Fund 411 Water - Capital Expansion Fee* $ 400,000 Total Project Funding $ 4,381,480 *Budget supplement requested to build an additional water crossing under freeway. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: This project includes installation of approximately 4,000 linear feet of PVC gravity sewer transmission main, two (2) trench-less boring(s) under WSDOT’s right-of-way on Interstate 182, and pavement restoration of portions of Court Street, Road 111, and Harris Road, as necessary. V. DISCUSSION: Page 179 of 185 On January 11, 2018, the City received six (6) bids for construction of the project. For clarification; the (base) bid included full width surface restoration of Harris Road and no allowance of road closure for Harris Road. Alternate B1 allowed for either a credit or debit of paving only half of Harris Road. Alternate C1 allowed for a credit allowing for road closure during construction. With the low (base) bid offering the best final product (full road width restoration) and Alternate B1 being a credit of only $11,077.71 (Half road width surface restoration on Harris Road) and with Alternate C1 being a credit of only $17, 937.71 (Credit back to the City to allow full closure of Harris Road) and considering the local residential and commercial traffic that utilizes Harris Road, the recommendation is to award the low (base) bid without alternates. Culbert from was C1, or B1 items bid alternate without bid, (base) low The Construction, Inc. in the amount of $2,412,115.89, below the engineers estimate and within budget. This is a critical project, as determined by Council, associated with the 2018-2019 Economic Vitality Goals. Specifically "completion of the Broadmoor sub-area plan and environmental analysis, including plan for needed utilities, and transportation improvements." This project is included in the City's 2019-2024 Capital Improvement Plan with an expected completion date in 2019. Staff reviewed the bid submittal and found no exceptions or irregularities existed. Therefore, Staff recommends award of the contract to Culbert Construction, Inc. of Pasco, Washington.
