TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Regular Meeting: 12/2/19
FROM: Dave Zabell, City Manager
Executive
SUBJECT: 2020 Legislative Priorities
I. REFERENCE(S):
2020 Legislative Priorities
Proposed Resolution
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
To approve Resolution No. ____, declaring the City's legislative priorities for the 2020
session of the Washington State Legislature.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The 2020 legislative session begins on January 13, 2020. This is the second year of the
biennial cycle where the legislature is tasked with implementing supplemental budgets
during a short 60-day session. Worth noting is that all bills introduced in the 2019
legislative session are automatically reintroduced in 2020 session.
Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs (GTHGA) has been contracted to
assist in developing and promoting the Council's legislative priorities to the legislature.
GTHGA assists the City in Olympia by providing an on-the-ground presence in
Olympia during session, monitoring the legislature throughout the year, and advancing
the City's legislative agenda.
The City has benefited by maintaining a proactive posture with th e legislature
regarding the interests of Pasco. One means by which Council has made its concerns
and interests known to the legislature, and specifically its legislative delegation, is
through the adoption of its City Legislative Priorities Statement.
V. DISCUSSION:
Page 13 of 136
Attached is the proposed 2020 legislative priorities list which reflects modifications to
the previous agenda as recommended by staff and the legislative consultant, Briahna
Murray, Vice President, Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs. The
proposed changes consider changed circumstances over the past year, the evolution of
Council's overall policy direction and the likelihood of success.
Staff and the GTHGA team presented to Council at the November 20th meeting.
Legislative priorities have been modified based on Council discussion.
Staff recommends Council approval of the attached resolution establishing the City's
2020 legislative priorities.
Page 14 of 136
City of Pasco
2020 State Legislative Priorities
LEWIS STREET OVERPASS PROJECT: The City requests that the Legislature approve an
adjustment to the LEAP list for the Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board to allocate $4.4
million in the 2020 supplemental transportation budget to fund the final phase of the Lewis
Street Overpass project. OnceWhen completed, the project will create an overpass across the
BNSF Railway railroad tracks to replace the 1937 Lewis Street undercrossing built in 1937.
With the additionalenhanced roadway features and pedestrian features, 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.
PROCESS WATER REUSE FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS: The City is in the early stages of a
multi-year effort to improve its industrial wastewater treatment facility that serves a very
successful group of food processors. To improve the reliability of the facility, allow for the
expansion in productivity of current food processors, and to create capacity for additional
processors, the facility requires conveyance, rehabilitation and treatment improvements. These
improvements willare estimated to cost a total $43M over 4 years. Through a public/private
partnership, food processors are committed to paying for this project. To help reduce the
financial burden to these processors, the City of Pasco and processors requests that the state
invest $5 million in the project over the next 2 years.
DOWNTOWN PASCO REVITALIZATION: The City requests $2 million to revitalize downtown
Pasco. The City envisions a downtown with wider sidewalks for outdoor cafes, pedestrian-
friendly access, plazas and gathering places. These infrastructure improvements will attract
development and revitalize downtown Pasco by enhancing the connection between the Lewis
Street Overpass Project and Peanuts Parks/Farmer’s Market to the Lewis Street Corridor..
MENTAL HEALTH SALES TAX: Since initially authorized in 2005, most counties throughout
Washington State have approved a sales tax increase to fund mental health and chemical
dependency treatment services. Despite a growing and increasingly dire need for chemical
dependency and mental health treatment services in Pasco and the surrounding communities,
Franklin County has not utilized this authority. The Pasco community is experiencing the
consequences of this inaction – increased homelessness, rising crime rates, and other public
safety concerns. The City of Pasco requests the authority to impose a .01 of 1% sales tax to
fund mental health and chemical dependency services in lieu of the county. The Legislature
has previously authorized cities within Pierce County this same authority.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOLS: The City joins the Association of Washington Cities in
encouraging the State to reinvigorate the Local Revitalization Fund (LRF) and/or establish a
tax increment financing program like what exists in other states. If authorized, Pasco would
use these tools in the Broadmoor region to spur development on on 65 acrestargetted
commercials lands. Additionally, Pasco supports extending the .09 sales tax credit for rural
economic development.
DEFEND LOCAL CONTROL: The City believes the best governmental decisions are those
that are made closest to the people. 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 will oppose legislative actions
that are inconsistent with this view. Page 15 of 136
The City of Pasco Supports/Opposes
FINANCE/GENERAL GOVERNMENT
State-Shared Revenues
Pasco receives approximately $1.3 million annually from the state,
categorized as “state-shared revenues.” The City urges the State to
preserve and enhance these revenue streams.
Election of Judges Pasco opposes legislation mandating that part-time municipal court judges
be elected rather than appointed.
Labor Reform Pasco opposes legislation that increases labor costs.
INFRASTRUCTURE & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Local Transportation
Funding
Pasco supports increased funding and tools for cities to fund the operations
and maintenance of the local transportation system, including funding that
backfills the significant loss in transportation revenue resulting from the
passage of I-976.
Lower Snake River
Dams
Pasco opposes the removal of dams along both the Columbia and Snake
Rivers and encourages the State to perform additional analysis on the
economic impact of any such proposals.
Affordable Housing
Pasco supports legislative proposals to address housing affordability. The
City recognizes that school impact fees have an effect on housing
affordability and encourages the State to evaluate the efficacy of those fees
and others alike.
Main Street Tax Credit
Incentive Program
Pasco supports legislation that improves the Main Street Tax Incentive
Program.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Basic Law Enforcement
Academy
Pasco supports increased funding a levels adequate and other solutions to

Enforcement Academy in a timely manner.
Funding to Reduce
Gang Violence
Pasco supports proposals that increase funding to reduce gang violence
throughout the state.
Marijuana Laws Pasco supports policies that retain local authority on regulations that
govern marijuana production or sale.
LAND USE
Pasco DNR Property
Pasco is opposed to DNR buying land within the City’s Urban Growth
Area (UGA) and asks the Department to divest itself of the undeveloped
land it currently owns within the UGA. The City hopes to continue
working collaboratively with DNR to develop the commercially-zoned
properties west of Road 68, along the Chapel Hill Road alignment.
Notification of Pre-
Annexation Agreements
Pasco supports legislation improving notification of existing pre-
annexation agreements in the home buying process.
Annexation of
Unincorporated Islands
Pasco opposes legislation mandating cities to annex unincorporated
islands, but supports incentives that encourage annexation, such as
lowering the percentage of petition signers needed to annex unincorporated
islands.

RESOLUTION NO. _________
A RESOLUTION declaring the City’s legislative priorities for the 2020 session of
the Washington State Legislature.
WHEREAS, the 2020 session of the Washington State Legislature commences on
January 13.
WHEREAS, the City of Pasco, as a municipal corporation and subdivision of the
state, can be substantially affected by the actions of the legislature; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has evaluated conditions impacting the City and
opportunities to improve the services the City provides to its citizenry; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to identify its legislative priorities for the
2020 legislative session so they can be provided to state legislators prior to commencement
of the next legislative session; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO,
WASHINGTON:
Section 1. That the legislative objectives stated herein below constitute the priorities of the
City of Pasco for the 2020 legislative session.
LEWIS STREET OVERPASS PROJECT: The City requests that the Legislature approve
an adjustment to the LEAP list for the Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board to
allocate $4.4 million in the 2020 supplemental transportation budget to fund the final phase
of the Lewis Street Overpass project. Once completed, the project will create an overpass
across the BNSF Railway railroad tracks to replace the Lewis Street undercrossing built in
1937. With the enhanced roadway and pedestrian features, 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.
PROCESS WATER REUSE FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS: The City is in the early
stages of a multi-year effort to improve its industrial wastewater treatment facility that serves
a very successful group of food processors. To improve the reliability of the facility, allow
for the expansion in productivity of current food processors, and to create capacity for
additional processors, the facility requires conveyance, rehabilitation and treatment
improvements. These improvements are estimated to cost a total $43 million over 4 years.
Through a public/private partnership, food processors are committed to paying for this
project. To help reduce the financial burden to these processors, the City of Pasco and
processors request that the state invest $5 million in the project over the next 2 years.
DOWNTOWN PASCO REVITALIZATION: The City requests $2 million to revitalize
downtown Pasco. The City envisions a downtown with wider sidewalks for outdoor cafes,
Page 17 of 136
pedestrian-friendly access, plazas and gathering places. These infrastructure improvements
will attract development and revitalize downtown Pasco by enhancing the connection
between the Lewis Street Overpass Project and Peanuts Parks/Farmer’s Market to the Lewis
Street Corridor.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOLS: The City joins the Association of Washington
Cities in encouraging the State to reinvigorate the Local Revitalization Fund (LRF) and/or
establish a tax increment financing program like what exists in other states. If authorized,
Pasco would use these tools to spur development on targeted commercial land. Additionally,
Pasco supports extending the .09 sales tax credit for rural economic development.
DEFEND LOCAL CONTROL: The City believes the best governmental decisions are
those that are made closest to the people. 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 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 2020 legislative priorities.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco this ____ day of December, 2019.

Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In 2016, the Pasco Police Department (Department) started the review and feasibility
of deploying body worn cameras (BWC) to its officers. Previously, the Department had
led the municipal law enforcement community with the deployment of patrol vehicle
dash cameras more than twenty years ago, that effort has proven to be successful.
Technological advances in the interim, made implementation of BWC as a practical
and progressive move in expanding transparency and enhancing public and officer
safety.
Over the course of a multiple year period, the Department evaluated vendors,
developed department draft policies, identified best practices, and conducted a pilot
BWC program.
Based on the efforts and experiences learned through that aforementioned activities,
and Council authorization, in 2018, the Department identified a vendo r and moved
forward with policy adoption and implementation of the BWC program in the first
quarter of 2019. As anticipated, the use of BWCs has proven to be a valuable tool in
Page 24 of 136
evidence collection and department transparency.
Additional workload on the Department, as well as the City Clerk’s Office, come from
complying with the Public Records Act when the BWC video records are requested.
The Police Department and City Clerk’s Office collaborate on the impact of those
requests.
V. DISCUSSION:
The presentation will discuss how the Body Worn Camera program has affected
multiple aspects of law enforcement including evidence, training and citizen
complaints. It will also provide information concerning public records requests and the
impact of these on the Police Department as well as the City Clerk's Office.

Page 34 of 136
Honorable Mayor and City Council, Pasco residents, business owners/operators, and interested
parties:
As you are aware, the City Council adopted the City’s first Biennial Budget last year and we are
approaching the mid-point. While the adopted budget encompasses a two-year period, 2019-
2020, the City has a statutory requirement to review and appropriately modify its Biennial Budget
between September 1 and December 31 of the first year of the biennium. Beyond the
aforementioned statutory obligation, there are countless dynamics at play in the course of
providing City services that invariably necessitate adjustment. Such review also leads to greater
transparency in terms of Council’s oversight role and for the public.
Accordingly, please find attached the City of Pasco’s first Biennial Budget Adjustment Proposal for
the years 2019-2020. The 2019-2020 budget was fashioned to hasten the implementation of the
City Council’s adopted goals. As proposed, this adjustment continues and enhances those efforts,
while accounting for factors influencing the adopted budget.
The proposed Biennial Budget Adjustment accounts for increases and decreases in fund balances,
as well as necessary changes in revenues and expenditures. I am pleased to report that, overall, the
adjustment proposes a 1.6% increase in revenue and a 1.4% increase in expenses over the 2019-
2020 adopted budget. These increases include changes to capital projects proposed or approved
by Council during the year, as well as proposed staffing changes, including a COLA based
adjustment to the wage scale for non-represented and management staff.
2019 OVERVIEW
In discussing the necessary adjustments to the Biennial Budget, some context regarding
accomplishments for the first year is helpful. What follows is a high-level overview of some of the
more noteworthy successes during 2019, many of which were long-time City Council and
Departmental goals:
o Recognition as an All-America City Finalist for a second time.
o Successfully completed negotiations and implementation of multi-year labor agreements
with three of the City’s bargaining groups: Pasco Police Officers Association – Uniformed,
Pasco Police Officers Association – Non-Uniformed, and International Union of Operating
Engineers – Local 280. All were settled or modified in a way that promotes the City’s
competitiveness as an employer while assuring sustainability.
o Implementation of several enhancements to the City’s public outreach efforts including;
updating the City website and Facebook page, transition of PSCTV to high definition,
rollout of a new City logo, the start of radio ads in English on KONA-AM/FM and in Spanish
on 92.5 La Super.
o Recognition by Alliance for Community Media Northwest Region “Best of the Northwest”
Award for coverage of the League of Women Voters Candidate Forum.
o Successfully recruited a Police Chief, resulting in the Appointment of Ken Roske, the
department’s first internal chief in over half a century.
o Achieved national accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation for Law
Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) and recertified for State accreditation through Washington
Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, making Pasco one of only six cities in the State to
hold accreditation at both the state and national level.
o Awarded the Washington State Department of Ecology 2018 Perfect Compliance Award
for performance of the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
o Awarded Government Finance Officer Association’s Distinguished Budget Presentation
Awards Program for 2019-2020 Biennial Budget.
Page 35 of 136
o Completed the Limited Tax General Obligation Bond issuance for Fire Stations 83 and 84,
Animal Shelter, and GESA Stadium improvements.
o Adopted development design standards updating and standardizing development
requirements, clarifying processes and simplifying navigation of the process for community
members and property owners wishing to improve their properties.
o Continued efforts to aggressively pursue outside funding sources to leverage City
investment. Below are some of the major grants and low-interest loans awarded through
largely competitive processes:
• Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB) Grant – Lewis Street Overpass
(requires legislative action).
• Connecting Washington Grant – Lewis Street Overpass.
• Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) Grant – Lewis Street Overpass.
• ‘A’ Street Sporting Complex – Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) Grant.
• Process Water Reuse Facility – 0.09 Grant Program award.
o Significant progress on numerous capital projects, many of which are now complete or
major milestones have been reached:
• Chapel Hill Boulevard LID – Execution of LID completed with construction
substantially complete.
• City Hall Remodel Phase II – Construction complete.
• Downtown Police Substation – Relocation and interior remodel complete.
• Fire Station 85 – Land purchase and property clean-up complete.
• 20th Avenue Overlay, Court Street - I-182 – Construction complete.
• Oregon Avenue Corridor Improvements Phase 1 – Construction complete.

This impressive list of accomplishments reflects the commitment, professionalism and capacity of
the organization and the alignment of staff efforts with City Council’s goals and direction, as
provided for in the adopted budget.
2019-2020 BIG PICTURE
Growth was the major theme of the 2019-2020 budget: catching up to it, planning for it,
developing and implementing capital and programmatic investment strategies to address its impact.
With the first year of the Biennial Budget nearing completion, the City continues to see strong
growth in all sectors, including more than 500 new single-family homes permitted in 2019. In the
areas of public safety, public utilities, land-use and transportation (in 2020), the City’s long-range
plans have been updated in a coordinated fashion, and capital spending to implement elements
identified by these plans is ramping up accordingly. This will continue for the next several years.
In this regard, the 2019-2020 Budget was bold in its creation and inclusion of many projects, such
as Lewis Street Overpass, Peanuts Park, Irrigation Pump Station, Fire Stations 83 and 84
Page 36 of 136
Replacement, with unsecured funding sources. Council and staff have worked tirelessly to close
these funding gaps throughout 2018 and 2019 and have been successful in their efforts. While
significant progress was made during the budget cycle thus far, to be successful over the long-term,
the need to identify and acquire alternative funding sources for major capital projects is imperative.
The results of which are reflected in the Capital Improvement Project Budget, as adjusted. Please
see Exhibit B for a complete list of all proposed Capital Improvement Budget changes.
What follows is an overview of the progress made on several budgeted projects and initiatives
within the first year of this biennium and the resulting need for mid-biennium adjustments:
o Animal Control Shelter – Design of a new facility equipped to meet current and future
needs, consistent with the recommendations of the Ann Pflug report, as adopted by the
three partner cities is nearing completion. It is anticipated that the project will go to bid
during the first quarter of 2020. With the prior cost estimate dating back to 2016, substantial
completion of design has provided a better estimate of costs, and the biennial budget
adjustment includes an increase in funding for the project. In addition to accounting for
updated project costs, this adjustment shifts the project funding to the pending LTGO bond.
o Community Center – While starting the process to develop a new Community Center
remains a high priority, this budget adjustment reallocates cash funds initially allocated to
Animal Control Shelter project to move this project forward, rather than use the proceeds
from the pending LTGO Bond.
o ‘A’ Street Sporting Complex – The City Council previously authorized the use of City-owned
property on ‘A’ Street for the ‘A’ Street Sporting Complex. Ultimately, the project will add
8-14 multi-use fields and parking to the City’s park inventory. The budget adjustment
reflects receipt of $350,000 in State grant to fund the first phase of this project.
In the public safety arena, Police and Fire continue to make great strides. Some recent project
milestones reached include:
o Opening of the Downtown Police Mini-Station.
o The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Grant positions are hired and trained.
o Station 83 Relocation design is complete and we anticipate construction in early 2020.
o Station 84 Replacement design nearing completion and we anticipate construction in late
2020.
o Station 85 Land Acquisition is complete.
o Station 86 Land Acquisition will be completed in 2020.
o Station 81 and 82 Remodel – Additional funds are proposed to provide facility updates
and, most importantly, station alerting systems at these Fire Stations.
o Training Facility – Additional funds are proposed to facilitate the addition of a bathroom
and hazmat wash facility.
With respect to transportation related projects and initiatives, changes have been accounted for in
the proposed budget adjustment, the most significant changes are as follows:
o Comprehensive Transportation Plan effort is now underway. An additional $50,000 is
allocated to the project for a total of $350,000.
o Lewis Street Overpass – During the preparation of the 2019-2020 Biennial Budget, the City
Council was committed to a “shovel-ready” status; however, construction was dependent
on successfully securing gap funding. Final design work is complete, permits (BNSF) are
nearly in hand, and the project is scheduled to go to bid in 2020. In 2019, Staff was able
Page 37 of 136
to close the funding gap on this project, bringing it to shovel-ready status. However,
passage of I-976 will delay the project until legislature meets in 2020 and resolves the
dilemma associated with “Connecting Washington” money, a major source of funding on
this project.
o Chapel Hill Boulevard Extension – Through the successful formation of a Local
Improvement District (LID), the missing segment of Chapel Hill Boulevard from Road 68
to Road 84 is now substantially complete. As a result of prepayments and a lower than
expected bid, debt associated with the project is significantly less than expected and is so
reflected in the budget adjustment.
The City is poised to make some significant investments toward Downtown Revitalization and the
Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF).
o Peanuts Park/Farmers Market Restoration will go to bid shortly, in the first quarter of 2020.
The Section 108 has been secured, and the City was successful in receiving a $154,000
allocation from the State Capital Budget during 2019. These changes are reflected in the
budget adjustment. As presented in the adjustment, the project is now fully funded.
o PWRF Upgrades are underway with the replacement of the Irrigation Pump Station, the
heart of the facility. In addition, the Foster Wells Force Main project is also underway. The
capital budget adjustment reflects this progress.
REQUESTED STAFF INCREASES
Gains made in the strategic addition of staffing, particularly in public safety, have brought staffing
levels much closer to the level required by the City’s 75,000 residents and businesses. These
investments have led, in part, to the City being recognized as the third safest large city in
Washington State and in achieving the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau (WSRB) Class 3
rating. In the 2019-2020 Biennial Budget, Council approved the addition of 1 Systems
Administrator, 1 Accreditation Program Coordinator, and 4 Police Officers. The organization is at
a point of equilibrium in these two areas now, as we anticipate no changes in service level; a
situation that will be short-lived as the community continues to grow. The situation is, however,
timely in that it allows some room to catch up on needs in other areas.
This budget adjustment proposes the following FTE changes:
Deputy Fire Chief (1, 50% General Fund, 50% Ambulance)
The Fire Department has grown considerably in size and scope to meet the needs of a growing
community. The administrative demands and complexities of the department have grown
proportionately. The addition of a Deputy Chief will allow senior management within the
department to more proactively meet day-to-day operational demands and engage in strategic and
long-range planning efforts.
Administrative Assistant – Human Resources Department (1, 100% General Fund)
The Human Resources Division has been utilizing a temporarily assigned employee as an
Administrative Assistant for the past year. With the demands generated by a growing City and
workforce, restructuring of the division to take a greater role in risk management, safety and pro-
active training, the need for permanent administrative support is necessary.
Staff Accountant (1, 25% General Fund, 75% Ambulance Fund)
Over the past three years, the City has made significant progress in improving the sustainability in
the Ambulance Fund. A large part of this sustainability is due to Council’s enacting a more equitable
Page 38 of 136
rate structure and in authorizing the City’s participation in the GEMT program. The role of the
Finance Department in managing these efforts and coordination with the Fire Department has
grown as a result. The GEMT reimbursement, while taking a significant financial burden off of
Ambulance Utility ratepayers, has added significant complexity to administration of this fund,
requiring professional accounting services. The Staff Accountant position will provide professional
level accounting and oversight of the City’s GEMT related activities, assist the Utility Billing Division
with Commercial Billing, as well as other functions as needed within the Department. A portion of
the GEMT work is currently being provided through an outside agency contract at an annual cost
of approximately $70,000. This contract would be terminated with the addition of the proposed
Staff Accountant. With the elimination of the third party contract, the net cost of this position is
minimal.
SUMMARY OF FUNDS
General Fund
General Fund’s fund balance at the end of 2018 was $15,790,000. This is a healthy reserve for the
fund; however, over $4,000,000 of this fund balance is assigned to projects like the Community
Center. Approximately $1,300,000 in additional fund balance is restricted or committed funds and
can only be used for a specific purpose.
Grants for seven grant-funded positions (four Police, three Fire) funded through Community
Oriented Policing Service (COPS) and Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER)
programs will phase out by 2021. The corresponding impacts have been planned for and will be
reflected in the 2021-2022 Biennial Budget.
Revenue – Increase of $6,900,000
The increase in revenue is attributable to an additional $4,750,000 in Limited Tax General
Obligation (LTGO) bond proceeds than provided for in the adopted budget. Additional revenue
will contribute to the GESA Stadium and Animal Shelter projects and refund an internal fund for
advanced funding of Fire Station 83 and 84 relocation design. Further, the increase reflects strong
revenue streams from sales tax, building permits, and proceeds from the sale of City property.
Expense – Increase of $5,730,000
The proposed increase in expense contains $200,000 for 2019 to accommodate higher than
expected overtime in Public Safety. For 2020, an additional $1,100,000 is requested for overtime,
as well as the proposed addition of 1.75 FTE in Fire, Human Resources, and Finance Department.
The proposed budget includes $2,000,000 in transfer out of bond proceeds for GESA Stadium
Improvement Project and $2,067,000 in long-term investment in Chapel Hill LID, approved by
Council in 2019.
Street Fund
Revenue – Increase of $258,000
The proposed increase in revenue is related to increased activity in residential overlay work
performed by the City’s Street Crew. City’s Street Overlay Fund provides the funding for such
overlay projects.
Expense – Increase of $250,000
The proposed increase in expense is related to increased activity in residential overlay work by the
City’s Street Crew. City’s Street Overlay Fund provides the funding for such overlay projects.
Additionally, the Transportation Master Plan is expected to cost $50,000 more than originally
planned. The fund was impacted by the 2019 snow event; however, a subsidy from General Fund
to absorb such impact is not needed, as the impact was managed internally.
Page 39 of 136
Arterial Fund
Revenue – None
Expense – Decrease of $558,000
The proposed decrease in expense is related to changes in schedules of various transportation
capital projects. The largest impact was due to the construction schedule of Lewis Street Overpass
and a change in funding source for Argent Road Improvements Phase I – 20th Avenue to Saraceno
Way.
I-182 Impact Fee Fund
Revenue – None
Expense – Increase of $201,000
The proposed increase in expense is related to the addition of the I-182 Interchange Access
Evaluation.
Street Overlay Fund
Revenue – None
Expense – Increase of $453,000
The proposed increase is related to more aggressive residential and arterial overlay efforts.
School Impact Fee Fund
Revenue – $250,000
The increase is due to strong residential building activity.
Expense – Increase of $250,000 –
Represents the pass through to the Pasco School District.
Marina Fund
Revenue – Increase of $450,000
The increase in revenue is from the insurance payout from damage and subsequent rebuild of Dock
A. This funding will replenish the funds fund balance, which is currently in the negative due to the
timing of cash flow.
Expense – Increase of $54,000
The increase in expense is due to damage to Dock B during the winter of 2018, as well as residual
work on Dock A.
Revolve Abatement Fund
Revenue – $35,000
There is higher than expected revenue due to penalties recovery.
Expense – Increase of $250,000
The proposed increase in expense is related to increased abatement activity.
Park Development Fund
Revenue – Increase of $425,000
This increase is due to strong building activity.
Expense – Increase of $2,219,000
The proposed increase in expense is related to changes in schedules of various park capital projects.
The largest of the impact is due to a proposed advance in schedule for the Community Park
Page 40 of 136
Northwest land purchase at $1,400,000, and the paving of Boothe Fields Parking Lot (Little League
Parking Lot) at $615,000. Historically, the City has accumulated fund balance to complete
significant park projects like Community Park Northwest.
Capital Improvement (Real Estate Excise Tax – REET) Fund
Revenue – Increase of $1,200,000
The increased revenue is due to higher than expected property sales activity.
Expense – Decrease of $469,000
The proposed decrease in expense is related to changes in schedules of various capital projects. The
largest of the impact is due to a proposed removal of $1,444,000 in Animal Control Shelter funding
(replaced with LTGO Bond proceeds). Furthermore, $550,000 is proposed to be refunded to the
fund balance and be covered by Limited Tax General Obligation (LTGO) bond proceeds received
by the General Fund.
Local Improvement District Fund
Revenue – Increase of $5,305,000
Due to the implementation of the Chapel Hill Extension Local Improvement District (LID) in 2019.
This increase in revenue includes receipt of the bond proceeds needed to complete the project.
Expense – Increase of $5,305,000
The proposed increase in expense is related to external costs related to the Chapel Hill Extension
LID project.
General Capital Improvement Fund
Revenue – Decrease of $10,597,000
The General Capital Improvement Fund is set up to construct all capital projects for City’s
Governmental funds (vs. Enterprise). All revenue from the City’s internal funds are transferred, as
needed, during the project periods, as well as reimbursement from external entities like grants. This
requested decrease is due to many factors, but mainly due to changes in project schedules.
Expense – Decrease of $10,597,000
Expenses in this fund are reimbursed by various revenue streams, as discussed above. The City
maintains a near zero fund balance at the end of the year. The reduction in expenses are related
to the aforementioned factors impacting revenue.
Utilities (Water, Sewer, Irrigation, Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF), Stormwater) Fund
Revenue – Increase of $1,440,000
The increase in revenue for utilities is mainly related to $2,000,000 in additional revenue from
PWRF users for work related to the Bio-solids Disposal project. The proposed amendment also
includes reduction of $794,000 in bond revenue that was not needed for this biennium.
Expense – Increase of $2,766,000
The proposed increase in expense is related to changes in schedules of various capital projects
throughout Water, Sewer, Irrigation, Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF), and Stormwater
services. Additionally, $2,000,000 in the Bio-Solids Disposal project was not initially planned in
2019-2020 Biennial budget.
Equipment Replacement - Government Fund
This fund reserves all funds needed for replacement of equipment belonging to the City’s
Government funds (vs. Enterprise). The Biennial Budget includes yearly replacement charges
collected from internal funds, as well as expenses in the form of equipment purchases.
Page 41 of 136
Revenue – Increase of $101,000
The increase in revenue is due to interest earnings, as well as the proposed purchase of a piece of
equipment that was incorrectly budgeted for purchase in the Non-Equipment Replacement fund.
Expense – Decrease of $1,888,000
The proposed decrease in expense is mainly related to the proposed removal of $2,000,000 in
inter-fund loan to the Stadium fund. The timing of the LTGO bond renders the inter-fund loan
unnecessary.
CONCLUSION
Preparation of a two-year budget of just under half a billion dollars to fund a diverse array of
operations and capital investments, in an environment as dynamic as a City, is itself a considerable
undertaking. As mentioned in the introductory paragraphs, there are countless internal and external
dynamics over the course of a two-year period in such an environment that invariably necessitate
adjustments. I am pleased to report that the proposed Mid-Biennium Budget Adjustments are
minor overall. In fact, the greatest financial impacts driving the need for the adjustment are
attributable to projects where positive opportunities arose; e.g. Chapel Hill Boulevard LID, ‘A’
Street Sporting Complex, and the security and environmental enhancements to the City Hall
Remodel Project, and Council authorized their execution fully aware of the budget impact and the
need for a future adjustment. From that measure, the implementation of a biennial budget has
been a success for the City of Pasco.

SUBJECT: Amendments to PMC Title 6: Animal Control - Behavioral Testing Standards
per Amended RCW
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Ordinance
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. __________, amending PMC Sections
6.05.010 'Definition of terms'; 6.05.080 'Disposition of unclaimed animals'; 6.05.110
'Refusal 'Potentially 6.05.330 and quarantine'; 6.05.320 'Notice redeem'; to of
dangerous and dangerous animals', and further, authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Washington State Legislature recently enacted a new statute, RCW 16.08.110,
which addresses the requirements that cities and counties must meet in order to be able
to enforce or enact breed-specific regulations. In situations where a change in State
statutes are modified, staff and the City Attorney's office review applicable municipal
code sections to assure continued compliance with the amended statue(s) in order to
maintain the City's municipal code and recommend code revisions as appropriate, this
is a case where minor revisions are necessary.
The current provisions in the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Title 6 meet most of the
requirements of the new statute; however, a few minor revisions of the City's
regulations are necessary in order to maintain consistency with revised statutes prior to
their effective date of January 1, 2020.
The proposed substantive revisions relating to this ordinance will serve to slightly ease
Page 54 of 136
current regulations by adding additional alternatives for pet owners to demonstrate
compliance with the City's Title 6 code provisions and for frequency of testing. There
are also some formatting revisions and one revision intended to clarify the operative
code section in the event of a violation of Title 6.05.110 and 6.05.320(2).
V. DISCUSSION:
This item was discussed at the November 25 Council Workshop meeting.
Staff recommends adoption of the proposed ordinance.

MASTER FILE #: Z 2019‐011
APPLICANT: Salvador Iniguez
1415 E Alvina Street
Pasco WA 99301
REQUEST: REZONE: Rezone two parcels on East Alvina Street from R‐1
(Low Density Residential) to R‐3 (Medium Density Residential).
BACKGROUND
1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Legals:
Lot 1 Block 2, Whitehouse Addition, Together with 10’ of Vacated Alvina Street and 10’ of Vacated
Alley (APN # 112 072 132).
Lot 2 and the South ½ of Lot 3 Block 2, Whitehouse Addition, Together with the Vacated Alley
Adjacent. (APN #112 072 123).
General Location: The northeast corner of East Alvina Street and North Franklin Avenue, Pasco
WA 99301
Property Size:
Lot APN Sq Ft Acres
1 112072132 5,032.65 0.1155
2 112072123 5,616.92 0.1289
Total 10,649.57 0.2445
2. ACCESS: Both parcels have access from North Franklin Avenue; Parcel 112 072 132 also has access
from East Alvina Street.
3. UTILITIES: Water service is available from both East Alvina Street and North Franklin Avenue;
sewer service is available along the east property lines of both lots.
4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The lot is occupied by a lean‐to shed, and is zoned RS‐20 (Residential
Suburban). Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows:
NORTH: R‐1 SFDU
EAST: R‐3 SFDUs
SOUTH: R‐1 Vacant
WEST: C‐3 Vacant
5. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation for the property is Mixed
Residential. Under the current Comprehensive Plan Land Use designations of Mixed Residential
the property may be zoned R‐S‐20, R‐S‐12, R‐S‐1, R‐1 through R‐4. The Mixed Residential
Page 70 of 136
2
designation includes “Single‐family dwellings, patio homes, townhouses, apartments and
condominiums at a density of 5‐20 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; a
market demand; location convenient to major circulation routes; transition areas between more
intense uses and low‐density uses. 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: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for this project. An
environmental determination will be made after the public hearing for this project. Based on the
SEPA checklist, the adopted City Comprehensive Plan, City development regulations, and other
information, a threshold determination resulting in a Determination of Non‐Significance (DNS)
was issued for this project on August 15, 2019 under WAC 197‐11‐158.
ANALYSIS
Applicant is seeking to rezone the parcel located at the northeast corner of East Alvina Street and North
Franklin Avenue from R‐1 (Low Density Residential) to R‐3 (Medium Density Residential) in anticipation of
joining the lots and building either a duplex or a triplex on the lot, within a 6‐12 month timeframe.
The site is located at the northeast corner of East Alvina Street and North Franklin Avenue and contains
10,649.57 square feet or 0.2445 acres.
The site was annexed into the City in 1913 as part of the AM Wehe’s Whitehouse Addition as a residential
plat. The site and surrounding properties are currently zoned as follows: to the north: R‐1; to the east: R‐
3; to the south R‐1; west C‐3. The site is vacant, as are properties to the south and west. The property
directly to the north contains one SFDU built in 1930; properties to the east have recently been developed
with Habitat for Humanity SFDUs.
The Comprehensive Plan designates the property ”Mixed Residential,” which allows for R‐S‐20
(Suburban), R‐S‐12 (Suburban), R‐S‐1 (Suburban), R‐1 (Low‐Density Residential), R‐2, (Medium Density
Residential), R‐3 (Medium Density Residential) or R‐4 (High Density Residential) zoning. The Mixed
Residential designation includes “Single‐family dwellings, patio homes, townhouses, apartments and
condominiums at a density of 5‐20 dwelling units per acre.”
Staff has recommended the parcel be rezoned to R‐3 (Medium Density Residential), which would allow
for residential development concurrent with the Comprehensive Plan “Mixed Residential” Land Use
designation.
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:
The site was part of a residential plat introduced in 1913; the current zoning classification has been in place
since at least the 1970s, and likely since at least the introduction of the zoning code in 1963.
Page 71 of 136
3
2. The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
Applicant is seeking subdivide the land for future sale/residential development. Property to the east and
in the general vicinity has recently been subdivided and developed with single‐family units. The City is
revising its Urban Growth Area (UGA) as part of the Comprehensive Plan Update. The UGA update will
likely be smaller than current projections for low‐density residential growth as developed in the past would
allow; as such, smaller lots and higher densities are currently being recommended for better utilization of
the land within the UGA.
3. Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and general welfare:
The Comprehensive Plan designates the property ”Mixed Residential,” which allows for R‐S‐20 (Suburban),
R‐S‐12 (Suburban), R‐S‐1 (Suburban), R‐1 (Low‐Density Residential), R‐2, (Medium Density Residential), R‐
3 (Medium Density Residential) or R‐4 (High Density Residential) zoning. The Mixed Residential designation
includes “Single‐family dwellings, patio homes, townhouses, apartments and condominiums at a density
of 5‐20 dwelling units per acre.”
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 development of a residential multi‐family
unit. The Comprehensive Plan allows for ”Mixed Residential,” zoning, described as R‐S‐20 (Suburban), R‐S‐
12 (Suburban), R‐S‐1 (Suburban), R‐1 (Low‐Density Residential), R‐2, (Medium Density Residential), R‐3
(Medium Density Residential) or R‐4 (High Density Residential) zoning. The Mixed Residential designation
includes “Single‐family dwellings, patio homes, townhouses, apartments and condominiums at a density
of 5‐20 dwelling units per acre.”
5. The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
If the property is not rezoned to R‐3 the lots may be developed at a lower density or remain undeveloped.
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. Public notice of this hearing was sent to property owners within 300 feet of the property and
posted in the Tri‐City Herald on October 26, 2019.
2. Applicant is seeking to rezone two parcels located at the northeast corner of East Alvina Street
and North Franklin Avenue from R‐1 (Low Density Residential) to R‐3 (Medium Density
Residential).
3. Applicant anticipates joining the lots into a single tax parcel.
4. Applicant is planning on building either a duplex or a triplex on the lot.

TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a rezone, the Planning Commission must develop findings of
fact from which to draw its conclusions based upon the criteria listed in PMC 25.210.060. The criteria are
as follows:
1. The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposal is in accordance with the Comprehensive plan; under the current Comprehensive Plan The
Comprehensive Plan designates the property ”Mixed Residential,” which allows for R‐S‐20 (Suburban), R‐
S‐12 (Suburban), R‐S‐1 (Suburban), R‐1 (Low‐Density Residential), R‐2, (Medium Density Residential), R‐3
(Medium Density Residential) or R‐4 (High Density Residential) zoning. The Mixed Residential designation
allows for “Single‐family dwellings, patio homes, townhouses, apartments and condominiums at a density
of 5‐20 dwelling units per acre.”
2. The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental.
The Comprehensive Plan designates the property ”Mixed Residential,” which allows for R‐S‐20
(Suburban), R‐S‐12 (Suburban), R‐S‐1 (Suburban), R‐1 (Low‐Density Residential), R‐2, (Medium Density
Residential), R‐3 (Medium Density Residential) or R‐4 (High Density Residential) zoning. The Mixed
Residential designation allows for “Single‐family dwellings, patio homes, townhouses, apartments and
condominiums at a density of 5‐20 dwelling units per acre.”
3. There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.
The proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map; surrounding properties
are currently zoned R‐1 (north); R‐3 (east); R‐1 (south); and C‐3 (west). Surrounding parcels are vacant
except for one SFDU to the north of the site.
4. Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from the
proposal.
The Pasco Municipal Code includes design standards for both commercial and residential development.
As such, no special conditions would be required.
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.

Recommendation, Iniguez Rezone Z 2019-011
CITY OF PASCO HEARING EXAMINER
FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, AND RECOMMENDATION
Rezone Z 2019-011, Salvador Iniguez
November 22, 2019
_______________________________________________
1. FINDINGS OF FACT
1.1 Proposal. Request to rezone two parcels (.1155 and .1289 acres, totaling .2445
acres) from R-1 (Low Density Residential) zoning to R-3 (Medium Density Residential) in
anticipation of future sale and residential development.
1.2 Applicant/Property Owner and Location:
Applicant/Property Owner: Salvador Iniguez, 1415 East Alvina Street, Pasco, WA
99301.
Location: NE corner of East Alvina Street and North Franklin Avenue, Pasco, WA
99301. Parcel Nos. 112072132 and 112072123.
Legal Descriptions:
Lot 1 Block 2, Whitehouse Addition, Together with 10' of Vacated Alvina Street and
10' of Vacated Alley.
Lot 2 and the South 1/2 of Lot 3 Block 2, Whitehouse Addition, Together with the
Vacated Alley Adjacent.
1.3 Site Use. Vacant.
1.4 Land Use Designations/Site and Surrounding Area. The Comprehensive Plan
designates the site Mixed Residential, which allows for R-S-20, R-S-12, R-S-1, and R-1 through
R-3. The Mixed Residential designation allows for residential development at a density of 5-20
units per acre. Surrounding land uses include:
North: R-1 zoning with single-family residences
East: R-3 zoning with single-family residences
South: R-1 zoning with vacant lots
West: C-3 zoning with vacant lots
A rezone to R-3 would allow for residential development consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan's Mixed Residential Land Use designation.
1.5 Evidence Reviewed. The Examiner reviewed the Staff Report, which attached
photographs of the site and area, and documented surrounding zoning. The Examiner conducted
a site visit before the hearing.
Page 84 of 136
City of Pasco Hearing Examiner Page 2 of 3
Recommendation, Iniguez Rezone Z 2019-011
1.6 SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act, Ch. 43.21C RCW). The City of Pasco
issued a Determination of Non-Significance, which was not appealed. SEPA review is complete.
1.7 Hearing. A properly noticed hearing was held on November 13, 2019.1 The
Community Development Department identified key points from the Staff Report. No person
from the public indicated a wish to testify.
1.8 Public Comment/Written. None.
1.9 Utilities. Water is available from East Alvina Street and North Franklin Avenue;
sewer service is available along the east property lines of both lots.
1.10 Access. The parcels have access from North Franklin Avenue, with Parcel 112
072 132 also having access from East Alvina Street.
1.11 Rezone Considerations. A rezone to R-3 implements the Comprehensive Plan,
and is in accord with its goals and policies. The lots are small, but the R-3 zoning will allow for
a slight increase in development potential. Surrounding properties include vacant land, and have
been gradually developing with single-family residences, so the rezone is consistent with the
area's character. The City is revising its urban growth area as part of the Comprehensive Plan
Update; boundaries will likely be smaller than current projections for low-density residential
growth as developed in the past would allow. Smaller lots and higher densities would better
utilize urban lands, creating community value in the proposal, which lacks material detriment. If
the property is not rezoned, the lot may be developed at a lower density or remain undeveloped.
The Staff Report provides further detail, and is incorporated.
2. CONCLUSIONS
The Examiner issues a rezone recommendation based on whether:
(a) The proposal is in accord with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive
Plan;
(b) The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will be materially
detrimental;
(c) There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole;
(d) Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse
impacts from the proposal;
(e) A concomitant agreement should be entered into between the City and the
petitioner, and if so, the terms and conditions of such an agreement.2

Report to Hearing Examiner Dated: 11/13/2019
Hearing Examiner Recommendation
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. _____, rezoning a parcel located at 2216 W
Henry Place from R-2 to R-3, and further, authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On November 13, 2019, the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing to consider a
request to rezone a parcel comprising of approximately 0.30 acres located at 2216 W
Henry Place (APN #119 362 262), from R-2 (Medium Density Residential) to R-3
(Medium Density Residential).
The property was previously developed with a 4-plex similar, if not identical to
surrounding structures. The structure was destroyed in a fire in 2016. Applicant is
seeking to rezone the parcel located at 2216 W Henry Place from R-2 (Medium
Density Residential) to R-3 (Medium Density Residential) in anticipation of rebuilding
a 4-plex on the lot.
Following the conduct of the public hearing, the Hearing Examiner recommended
Page 87 of 136
approval of the applicant's request for a rezone from R-2 (Medium Density Residential)
to R-3 (Medium Density Residential).
V. DISCUSSION:
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation for the property is Mixed Residential.
Under the current Comprehensive Plan Land Use designations of Mixed Residential
the property may be zoned R-S-20, R-S-12, R-S-1, R-1 through R-4. The Mixed
Residential designation includes “Single-family dwellings, patio homes, townhouses,
apartments and condominiums at a density of 5-20 dwelling units per acre.”
The general character of the neighborhood is 4-plex/apartments. Applicant plans to
rebuild a 4-plex on the site. As such, the use would not change from what had been on-
site since around 1976 and would closely match surrounding structures to the east,
south, and west.

MASTER FILE #: Z 2019‐012
APPLICANT: Ana Mendoza
813 N. Road 56
Pasco WA 99301
REQUEST: REZONE: Rezone a parcel on 2216 Henry Place from R‐2
(Medium Density Residential) to R‐3 (Medium Density
Residential).
BACKGROUND
1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Legal: Lot 3, except the East 47.3’, all of lot 4, and the east 11.15’ of lot 5 of Morath Subdivision
Less easement (Parcel # 119362262)
General Location: 2216 W Henry Place, Pasco WA 99301
Property Size: Approximately 0.3 Acres (12,938.31 Square feet)
2. ACCESS: The parcel has access from West Henry Place.
3. UTILITIES: Water and sewer service are both available from West Henry Place.
4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The lot is occupied by a lean‐to shed, and is zoned RS‐20 (Residential
Suburban). Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows:
NORTH: R‐3 School
EAST: R‐2 Apartments
SOUTH: R‐2 Apartments
WEST: R‐2 Apartments
5. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation for the property is Mixed
Residential. Under the current Comprehensive Plan Land Use designations of Mixed Residential
the property may be zoned R‐S‐20, R‐S‐12, R‐S‐1, R‐1 through R‐4. The Mixed Residential
designation includes “Single‐family dwellings, patio homes, townhouses, apartments and
condominiums at a density of 5‐20 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; a
market demand; location convenient to major circulation routes; transition areas between more
intense uses and low‐density uses. 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: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for this project. An
environmental determination will be made after the public hearing for this project. Based on the
Page 92 of 136
2
SEPA checklist, the adopted City Comprehensive Plan, City development regulations, and other
information, a threshold determination resulting in a Determination of Non‐Significance (DNS)
was issued for this project on August 15, 2019 under WAC 197‐11‐158.
ANALYSIS
Applicant is seeking to rezone the parcel located at 2216 W Henry Place from R‐2 (Medium Density
Residential) to R‐3 (Medium Density Residential) in anticipation of rebuilding a fourplex on the lot. The
site contains 12938.31 Square feet, or Approximately 0.3 Acres.
The site was platted in 1961 Morath Subdivision (County), and subsequently annexed into the city and
zoned R‐2 in 1977 (Ordinance 1833).
The site and surrounding properties are currently zoned as follows: to the north: R‐3; to the east: R‐2; to
the south R‐2; west R‐2. The site is vacant. The property directly to the north contains Stevens Middle
School, which was built in 1960; surrounding properties to the east, south and west are developed with
apartments built in the late 70s.
The Comprehensive Plan designates the property ”Mixed Residential,” which allows for R‐S‐20
(Suburban), R‐S‐12 (Suburban), R‐S‐1 (Suburban), R‐1 (Low‐Density Residential), R‐2, (Medium Density
Residential), R‐3 (Medium Density Residential) or R‐4 (High Density Residential) zoning. The Mixed
Residential designation includes “Single‐family dwellings, patio homes, townhouses, apartments and
condominiums at a density of 5‐20 dwelling units per acre.”
The property was previously developed with a 4‐plex similar, if not identical to surrounding structures.
The structure was destroyed in a fire in 2016.
PMC 25.170.050(2)(a) states “No building damaged by fire or other causes to the extent of more than 50
percent of the assessed value of the structure as determined by the records of the Franklin County
Assessor shall be repaired or rebuilt, except multifamily units previously authorized by building permit in
any residential zoning district may be rebuilt under the following conditions: Permits must be obtained
within one year of building damage or all nonconforming privileges are lost”
While the structure was legally non‐conforming at the time of the fire, applicant did not submit an
application within the required timeframe and as such, the legal nonconforming status has been
extinguished.
Staff has recommended the parcel be rezoned to R‐3 (Medium Density Residential), which would allow
for residential development concurrent with the Comprehensive Plan “Mixed Residential” Land Use
designation.
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:
The site was part of a residential plat annexed and zoned in 1977 (Ordinance 1833); the current zoning
classification has been in place since its annexation.
2. The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
Page 93 of 136
3
The property was previously developed with a 4‐plex very similar to, if not identical to the former structure.
The structure was destroyed in a fire and while the structure was legally non‐conforming at the time of the
fire, too much time has passed and nonconforming privileges no longer apply (PMC 25.170.050(2).
Applicant wishes to rebuild the 4‐plex structure.
As well, the City is revising its Urban Growth Area (UGA) as part of the Comprehensive Plan Update. The
UGA update will likely be smaller than current projections for low‐density residential growth as developed
in the past would allow; as such, smaller lots and higher densities are currently being recommended for
better utilization of the land within the UGA.
3. Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and general welfare:
The Comprehensive Plan designates the property ”Mixed Residential,” which allows for R‐S‐20 (Suburban),
R‐S‐12 (Suburban), R‐S‐1 (Suburban), R‐1 (Low‐Density Residential), R‐2, (Medium Density Residential), R‐
3 (Medium Density Residential) or R‐4 (High Density Residential) zoning. The Mixed Residential designation
includes “Single‐family dwellings, patio homes, townhouses, apartments and condominiums at a density
of 5‐20 dwelling units per acre.”
4. The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent property and the Comprehensive
Plan:
The general character of the neighborhood is fourplex/apartments. Applicant plans to rebuild a fourplex
on the site. As such, the use would not change from what had been on‐site since around 1976 and would
closely match surrounding structures to the east, south, and west. The Comprehensive Plan allows for
”Mixed Residential,” zoning, described as R‐S‐20 (Suburban), R‐S‐12 (Suburban), R‐S‐1 (Suburban), R‐1
(Low‐Density Residential), R‐2, (Medium Density Residential), R‐3 (Medium Density Residential) or R‐4
(High Density Residential) zoning. The Mixed Residential designation includes “Single‐family dwellings,
patio homes, townhouses, apartments and condominiums at a density of 5‐20 dwelling units per acre.”
5. The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
If the property is not rezoned to R‐3 the lot may be developed at a lower density than previously (which
would not match the general character of the neighborhood), or remain undeveloped.

TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a rezone, the Planning Commission must develop findings of
fact from which to draw its conclusions based upon the criteria listed in PMC 25.210.060. The criteria are
as follows:
1. The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposal is in accordance with the Comprehensive plan; under the current Comprehensive Plan The

Page 95 of 136
5
allows for “Single‐family dwellings, patio homes, townhouses, apartments and condominiums at a density
of 5‐20 dwelling units per acre.”
3. There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.
The proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map; surrounding properties are
currently zoned as follows: to the north: R‐3; to the east: R‐2; to the south R‐2; west R‐2. The property
directly to the north contains Stevens Middle School, which was built in 1960; surrounding properties to
the east, south and west are developed with apartments built in the late 70s.
4. Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from the
proposal.
The Pasco Municipal Code includes design standards for both commercial and residential development. As
such, no special conditions would be required.
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 would not be required in this circumstance.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends based on the Findings of Fact and Conclusions that Lot 3, except the East 47.3’, all of
lot 4, and the east 11.15’ of lot 5 of Morath Subdivision Less easement (Parcel # 119362262), be rezoned
from R‐2 to R‐3.

CITY OF PASCO HEARING EXAMINER
FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, AND RECOMMENDATION
Rezone Z 2019-012, Ana Mendoza
November 22, 2019
_______________________________________________
1. FINDINGS OF FACT
1.1 Proposal. Request to rezone a .3 acre parcel from R-2 (Medium Density
Residential) zoning to R-3 (Medium Density Residential) in anticipation of building a four-plex.
1.2 Applicant/Property Owner and Location:
Applicant/Property Owner: Ana Mendoza, 813 N. Road 56, Pasco, WA 99301.
Location: 2216 West Henry Place, Pasco, WA 99301.
Legal Description: Lot 3, except the east 47.3', all of Lot 4, and the east 11.15' of Lot 5
of Morath Subdivision less easement (Parcel No. 119 362 262).
1.3 Site Use. The vacant property was previously developed with a four-plex
destroyed by fire in 2016, which was similar if not identical to surrounding structures. The
structure was legally non-conforming, but was not rebuilt in time to take advantage of that
status.1
1.4 Land Use Designations/Site and Surrounding Area. The Comprehensive Plan
designates the site Mixed Residential, which allows for R-S-20, R-S-12, R-S-1, and R-1 through
R-3 zoning. The Mixed Residential designation allows for residential development at a density
of 5-20 units per acre. Surrounding land uses include:
North: R-3 zoning with Stevens Middle School
East: R-2 zoning with apartments
South: R-2 zoning with apartments
West: R-2 zoning with apartments
A rezone to R-3 would allow for residential development consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan's Mixed Residential Land Use designation.
1.5 Evidence Reviewed. The Examiner reviewed the Staff Report, which attached
photographs of the site and area, and documented surrounding zoning. The Examiner conducted
a site visit before the hearing.
1.6 SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act, Ch. 43.21C RCW). The City of Pasco
issued a Determination of Non-Significance which was not appealed. SEPA review is complete.

Recommendation, Mendoza Rezone Z 2019-012
1.7 Hearing. A properly noticed hearing was held on November 13, 2019.2 The
Community Development Department identified key points from the Staff Report. No person
from the public indicated a wish to testify.
1.8 Public Comment/Written. None.
1.9 Utilities. Water and sewer service are available from West Henry Place.
1.10 Access. West Henry Place.
1.11 Rezone Considerations. A rezone to R-3 implements the Comprehensive Plan,
and is in accord with its goals and policies. The lot is small, but the R-3 zoning will allow for a
slight increase in development potential. A four-plex project is likely, which would match the
surrounding development, so the rezone is consistent with the area's character. The City is
revising its urban growth area as part of the Comprehensive Plan Update; boundaries will likely
be smaller than current projections for low-density residential growth as developed in the past
would allow. Smaller lots and higher densities would better utilize urban lands, creating
community value in the proposal, which lacks material detriment. If the property is not rezoned,
the lot may be developed at a lower density or remain undeveloped. The Staff Report provides
further detail, and is incorporated.
2. CONCLUSIONS
The Examiner issues a rezone recommendation based on whether:
(a) The proposal is in accord with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive
Plan;
(b) The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will be materially
detrimental;
(c) There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole;
(d) Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse
impacts from the proposal;
(e) A concomitant agreement should be entered into between the City and the
petitioner, and if so, the terms and conditions of such an agreement.3
As the Findings detail, including at ¶ 1.11, the R-3 rezone follows these criteria and a
concomitant agreement and further mitigation is unnecessary. The proposed zoning is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map; the site is surrounded by R-2 and R-3 zoning; and,
apartment uses, along with a school, surround the site.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council November 20, 2019
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Regular Meeting: 12/2/19
FROM: Richa Sigdel, Director
Finance
SUBJECT: Interfund and Intrafund Loans
I. REFERENCE(S):
Resolution - Interfund Loans from the General Fund
Resolution - Intrafund Loans between the Utilities Fund
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ________, authorizing the interfund
loans from the General Fund to the City's Marina Fund and Stadium Fund.
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ________, authorizing the intrafund
loans from the Water Utility to the Irrigation Utility and Process Water Reuse Facility
Utility.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
General Fund to Marina Fund - $450,000
General Fund to Stadium Fund - $1,000,000
Utilities:
Water Utility to Irrigation Utility - $815,000
Water Utility to PWRF Utility - $5,200,000
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Consistent with the 2019-2020 Biennial Budget and associated adjustment, it is
necessary to provide for certain inter and intra fund loans to maintain positive fund
balances in all funds and to compensate for delayed, but anticipated, insurance
settlements and access to grant reimbursements.
Page 110 of 136
Marina Fund - Dock A at the City's marina was damaged due to the winter storm
experienced in 2017. The City has been working closely with the insurance company to
recover all losses and expenses and expects the process to be completed by the end of
the first quarter of 2020, after which the Marina Fund will extinguish the interfund loan
through a transfer.
GESA Stadium Fund - Council approved $2,000,000 for GESA Stadium
Improvements in the 2019-2020 Biennial Budget. Optimal timing for issuance of the
necessary bond to fund the project is at hand and Staff expects the bond proceeds to be
received by the end of 2019. Staff seeks authorization for this loan in the event bond
proceeds are not received in 2019. If proceeds are timely (within 2019), this loan will
not be executed.
Irrigation Utility - The City completed a rate study with assistance from FCS Group in
2017 to determine the fiscal impact of improvements needed to meet the proposed
operational plan and needed capital Improvements over the biennium and beyond. The
option selected by Council provided for a lesser rate increase, however required the
requested $815,000 Intrafund loan, which will be repaid over a several year period.
Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF) Utility - The City commenced two critical
projects, Foster Wells Force Main and Columbia East Lift Station and Force Main;
both critical to providing continuous operation for customers who rely on the system
for processing agricultural goods. The Council approved the design and construction of
Foster Wells Force Main and Columbia East Lift Station and Force Main earlier this
year. The City has received grants that it is not currently able to draw on and is
planning to issue bonds to fund the remainder of the project, to be repaid from
assessments to the processors utilizing these facilities. This loan will also be short-term
and would be repaid once grant funds are accessible and bond proceeds are available,
both of which are anticipated in 2020.
V. DISCUSSION:
Council discussed a proposed budget adjustment and the need for interfund and
intrafund loans at the November 25, 2019 Council Workshop. Staff recommends
approval of the proposed resolutions.
