PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Le&al: The West%:of the Northeast Y.of the Northwest%of the Northwest N of Section 26,Township 29 North, Range 9 East, except for the Court Street Right-of-Way. General Location:A parcel of land located along West Court Street between Roads 49 and 50 to the east and west, respectively, and Court Street and Marie Street to the north and south, respectively (Parcel#119 541023). Pro e�rty Size: Approximately 4.78 acres (208,010.89 square Feet). 2. ACCESS: The site has access from West Court Street and an undeveloped Marie Street ROW 3. UTILITIES: Water is available via 8' lines in West Court Street and Road 48 through the undeveloped Marie Street ROW; Sewer is available in a 12" line in Road 48 through the undeveloped Marie Street ROW. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is located in the County and the north half is currently zoned "0" (Office) along West Court Street and the south half RS-20 (Suburban), and is vacant. Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: NORTH: "0" (County) Nursery;SFDU EAST: RS-20 Church;Vacant Land;SFDU SOUTH: RS-20 SFDUs WEST: RS-20(County) Farm; SFDU 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for Mixed Residential (top half)and Residential uses (bottom half).Volume II of the Comprehensive Plan,specifically pages 30-32 pertain to Capital Facilities and their placement. The Plan encourages the setting aside of adequate lands for public facilities (Goal CF-3) and the maintenance of a fire protection service that is effective and cost efficient (Goal CF-6). Policy CF-6-A encourages the city to "Strive to provide a sufficient number of fire stations in appropriate locations throughout the community." 6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:The City of Pasco is the lead agency 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) has been issued for this project under WAC 197-11-158. 1 ANALYSIS The applicant,TCA Architecture, has submitted a Special Permit proposal for a fire station (Fire Station #84) with Fire department administration offices for the City of Pasco. The facility is to be located on a parcel of land located along West Court Street between Roads 49 and 50 to the east and west, respectively,and Court Street and Marie Street to the north and south, respectively(Parcel#119 541 023). Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) 25.15.050 defines fire stations as "Community Facilities Level 1." As per PMC Section 25.200.020(4))Community Service Facilities are an unclassified use and as such,are subject to special use permit review. It is estimated the project will be complete in 12 months.The new 16,241 square-foot fire station will consist of sleeping and living areas for employees, apparatus bays supporting spaces for the apparatus, and firefighting equipment. A 4,364-square-foot Reserve Apparatus building is also proposed.At completion,the project will accommodate 6 staff. The exterior of the building will be composed of metal siding,fiber composite boards, and accent materials as seen in the attached elevation exhibit.The highest proposed structure is 35 feet. As seen in the "Fire Station Distribution and Response Zones" map, much of the Riverview Area is not adequately served by City of Pasco emergency services if each fire station has a 6-minute response distance (each circle is a 3-mile radius, or approximately 6 minutes). Considering the rate at which West Pasco is growing, it is necessary to ensure the timely provision of new services, like fire stations, to support existing and future development. A 30' road right-of-way dedication will be required along the west property line for the extension of Road 50 from West Court Street south to West Marie Street. Fire stations are outlined as capital facilities in the Comprehensive Plan and are approved in the capital budget based upon the needs of the community. A primary consideration is benefit to the environment and public health.The Plan stresses the importance of siting necessary facilities in appropriate locations and the protection of life and property. The proposed use will follow requirements of the City of Pasco noise ordinance to prevent nuisance situations. INITIAL 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 wishes to locate a fire station(Fire Station#84)located along West Court Street between Roads 49 and 50,and Court Street and Marie Street (Parcel#119 541023). 3. The proposed structure would consist of a fire station and City of Pasco Fire Department administration offices. 4. Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) 25.15.050 defines fire stations as"Community Facilities Level 1." 2 5. Community Service Facilities are an unclassified use As per PMC Section 25.200.020(4)) 6. Community Service Facilities are subject to special use permit review. 7. The proposed structure would include a 16,241 square-foot fire station with sleeping and living areas, apparatus bays and supporting spaces for the apparatus and firefighting equipment. 8. A 4,364-square-foot Reserve Apparatus building is also proposed. 9. The project will accommodate 6 staff. 10. The exterior of the building will be composed of metal siding, fiber composite boards, and accent materials. 11. The highest proposed structure is 35 feet. 12. it is necessary to ensure the timely provision of new services, like fire stations, to support existing and future development. 13. A 30' road right-of-way dedication will be required along the west property line for the extension of Road 50 from West Court Street south to West Marie Street. 14. Fire stations are outlined as capital facilities in the Comprehensive Plan 15. Fire Stations are approved in the capital budget based upon the needs of the community. 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. Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives and text of the Comprehensive Plan? a. The Plan stresses the importance of siting necessary facilities in appropriate locations and the protection of life and property. The site is located within a developed and growing portion of the community and on a major arterial, which provides excellent access to the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure? a. The proposal will generate little demand for public utilities such as water and sewer. Traffic generation of the proposal will be minimal and easily accommodated by the existing road system. The utility demands of the Fire Station are lower than many of the infrastructure demands generated by uses permitted in the C-1 zone.The activity does involve the intermittent dispatching of emergency service vehicles, yet the direct access to West Court Street will not negatively impact traffic circulation. 3. Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity? a. The general vicinity is commercial and residential in nature.Asa conditional use,the building may be subject to additional site and elevation design regulations to promote an aesthetically pleasing environment that will complement the appearance of the residential and commercial development in the area. 4. Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site design discourage the development of permitted uses on property in the general vicinity or impair the value thereof? 3 a. This proposal will complement the appearance of the surrounding properties and is not expected to discourage future residential and commercial development. The highest structure is proposed at 35 feet. 5. Will the operations in connection with the proposal be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise,fumes, vibrations, dust traffic, or flashing lights than would be the operation of any permitted uses within the district? a. Emergency vehicles will be leaving the site with lights and sirens activated and maybe more objectionable than permitted uses. However, the use of sirens at night and in the early mornings will be limited, which is a measure to minimized the potential audio impact of this activity. b. Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and developed where proposed, or in any way will become a nuisance to uses permitted in the district? a. It is expected that the proposed fire station will not cause harm to public health and safety and that the associated activity will not become a nuisance to permitted uses in the vicinity. The proposal will locate an emergency service facility in a rapidly-growing area of Pasco that has an increasing need for emergency services. APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1. The Special Permit shall apply to tax parcel# 119 541 023 and any subsequent subdivisions thereof; 2. No outdoor storage of equipment or materials shall be allowed; 3. The site shall be developed in substantial conformity to the site plan and building plans submitted; 4. A 30' road right-of-way shall be dedication along the west property line for the extension of Road 50 from West Court Street south to West Marie Street. 5. The Special Permit shall be null and void if all necessary building permits have not been obtained by December 31, 2020. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the 16,241 square-foot fire station use located between Roads 49 and 50 along West Court Street(Parcel#1.19 541023)and rezoned R-S-1 district in a recent annexation,with conditions as set forth herein. 4 Ci ioffi 4 LA 11;k--r-rMAN-1914 m -1, 1.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:The City of Pasco is the lead agency 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 Mitigated Determination of Non- Significance (MDNS) has been issued for this project under WAC 197-11-158, ANALYSIS Applicant has proposed a 30,000 square foot two-story structure to host the Jubilee Foundation, Center for Sharing, and Vista Hermosa Foundation Headquarters. The facility will be located at the Tierra Vida Community. The site was annexed into the City in 1994 (Ordinance 3033) and assigned the Residential Transition zoning designation.The parcel was previously included within the preliminary plat for the original Tierra Vida subdivision that received preliminary plat approval in early 2004. The proposed project site is located at the northeast corner of East 'A' Street and Tierra Vida Lane and is approximately 2.27 acres. The current site is relatively flat and is undeveloped with no structures. City water and sewer utilities are available in East 'A' Street and Tierra Vida Lane. Anticipated uses include administrative and professional offices,education,and training areas to support the operations and mission of the various non-profit foundations,an accessory use multi-purpose assembly room and associated warming kitchen. Four guest suites are proposed to be located on the second floor to provide temporary housing for guests visiting the Tri-Cities area, to do business and training with the various Foundations. During the SEPA review process the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) reviewed the proposed project and had the following comments: • The subject property is not adjacent to U.S. Highway 12 (US 12); however, the proponent indicates primary access to the site will be via the public road intersection of East A Street along US 12 at milepost 293.6. Within the last five years, the US 12/East A Street intersection has experienced one fatal and two serious injury crashes. A review of the intersection crash history indicates the majority of the crashes occur when drivers make the left turning movement from East A Street to westbound US 12. For the majority of those crashes,drivers did not grant right-of-way or were inattentive to highway traffic. • Further, our analysis indicates queue lengths currently exceed the capacity of the US 12 westbound left-turn lane. Based on the volumes stated in the Section 14 of the SEPA Checklist,we estimate this proposal may add 15 or more vehicles to this movement in the peak hour. 2 • WSDOT is unwilling to risk higher collision rates and serious injury or fatal crashes due to increased traffic volumes created by new development west of US 12. Therefore, in order to mitigate their impact to the safety and capacity of the US 12/East A Street intersection,WSDOT requires the proponent to implement turn restriction from East A Street to US 12 and extend the US 12 westbound left-turn lane a minimum of 150 feet. The turn restrictions shall eliminate left-turns from the City street onto the highway and continue to accommodate left-turns from US 12. • If the applicant disagrees with our requirements,we request a traffic impacts analysis (TIA) be done by a licensed traffic engineer at the applicant's expense and submitted to WSDOT and the City of Pasco for review and comment. In response to WSDOT's comments, the City has issued a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS)with the following mitigation requirement: "A traffic impact analysis to determine the impacts of the additional vehicle trips and the need for traffic mitigation measures will be required." Applicant requests Special Permit Approval to increase the height limit of the proposed structure to 40 feet. INITIAL 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.

Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity? 4 a. The general vicinity is commercial and residential in nature north of"A"Street,and industrial to the south. The building design is similar to adjacent buildings. The building design avoids long blank walls and has periodic wall offsets, windows, and siding materials variations. The roof has a mix of both sloping roofs and parapets to break up the massing of the building and to provide articulated rooflines. The proposed building has a general upscale commercial type appearance,to fit the mixed residential/commercial land use designation, but will have finishes and colors to complement and be in harmony with adjacent buildings. Parking will be situated to the side and the rear of the property The building will support a variety of uses,that range from education and training uses to offices.The building will include a multi- purpose training room and associated commercial kitchen on the V floor,along with 4 guest suites on the 2nd floor level. The building office and school/training spaces will mainly be occupied during weekdays, with some evening and weekend activities. The 2nd floor guest suites will provide overnight lodging for out of town visitors doing business and training with the various Foundations.The multi-purpose room and associated support spaces will be used during the weekdays in conjunction with the office and school/classroom uses, and during evenings and on weekends for local community gatherings and events and/or extended school/training opportunities. 4. Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site design discourage the development of permitted uses on property in the general vicinity or impair the value thereof? a. The residential part of the Tierra Vida subdivision has already been fully developed. This proposal will complement both the appearance and functionality of the surrounding properties. A Special Permit request for increased height to 40 feet is being considered as a part of this application. 5. Will the operations in connection with the proposal be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise,fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic, or floshing lights than would be the operation of any permitted uses within the district? a. No uses are proposed for the project (either in the building or at outside areas) that would be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic or flashing lights than would be the operation of any permitted use within the land use designation. People and vehicles visiting the proposed site are anticipated to be similar to other uses that would be permitted for this property. The proposed operations for the project are to be conducted primarily within the building with some outdoor open/spaces to be used for outside sitting and gathering areas near the multi-purpose room. 6. Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and developed where proposed, or in any way will become a nuisance to uses permitted in the district? a. It is expected that the proposed facility will not cause harm to public health and safety and that the associated activity will not become a nuisance to permitted uses in the vicinity. All anticipated uses are either permitted outright or may be permitted as conditional use in the C-1 zoning district. The school/training use is compatible with and complementary to surrounding residential uses. APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1. The Special Permit shall apply to tax Parcel#113 730 299 and any subsequent subdivisions thereof; 5 2. A traffic impact analysis to determine the impacts of the additional vehicle trips and the need for traffic mitigation measures will be required. 3. No outdoor storage of equipment or materials shall be allowed; 4. The site shall be developed in substantial conformity to the site plan and building plans submitted; S. The Special Permit shall be null and void if all necessary building permits have not been obtained by December 31, 2020, RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the 30,000 square foot two-story structure to host the Jubilee Foundation, Center for Sharing, and Vista Hermosa Foundation Headquarters use located at 3713 East 'A' Street (Parcel #113 730 299) in a C-1 zoning district, with conditions as set forth herein. 6 Aft Washington State South Central Region ®� Department of Transportation 2809 RuAin Rood Unioo Gap,WA 98903-1648 509-577-1600/FAX 509-577-1603 TTY 1-806-833-6388 www_wsdot wa gov October 9,2019 City of Pasco Department of Community&Economic Development PO Box 293 Pasco,WA 99301 Attention: Darcy Bourcier,Planner Subject: SEPA 2019-053 -jubilee Foundation Headquarters US 12 MP 293.6-right vicinity We have reviewed the proposed project and have the following comments. • The subject property is not adjacent to U.S.Highway 12 (US 12);however,the proponent indicates primary access to the site will be via the public road intersection of East A Street along US 12 at milepost 293.6. Within the last five years,the US 12/East A Street intersection has experienced one fatal and two serious injury crashes. A review of the intersection crash history indicates the majority of the crashes occur when drivers make the left turning movement from East A Street to westbound US 12. For the majority of those crashes,drivers did not grant right-of-way or were inattentive to highway traffic. • Further,our analysis indicates queue lengths currently exceed the capacity of the US 12 westbound left-turn lane. Based on the volumes stated in the Section 14 of the SEPA Checklist,we estimate this proposal may add 15 or more vehicles to this movement in the peak hour. • WSDOT is unwilling to risk higher collision rates and serious injury or fatal crashes due to increased traffic volumes created by new development west of US 12. Therefore, in order to mitigate their impact to the safety and capacity of the US 12/East A Street intersection,WSDOT requires the proponent to implement turn restriction from East A Street to US 12 and extend the US 12 westbound left-turn lane a minimum of 150 feet. The turn restrictions shall eliminate left-turns from the City street onto the highway and continue to accommodate left-turns from US 12. • If the applicant disagrees with our requirements,we request a traffic impacts analysis (TIA)be done by a licensed traffic engineer at the applicant's expense and submitted to WSDOT and the City of Pasco for review and comment. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this proposal. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact Jacob Prilucik at (509) 577-1635.

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 % 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 Tota! 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 I 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 currentzoning classification has been in place since at least the 1970s, and likely since at least the introduction of the zoning code in 1963. 2 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. 5. Applicant is prepared to commence building within 6-12 months. 6. The site is located at the northeast corner of East Alvina Street and North Franklin Avenue. 7. The site contains 10,649.57 square feet (0.2445 acres). 8. The site was annexed into the City in 1913 as part of the AM Wehe's Whitehouse Addition. 9. The site was originally platted as a residential subdivision. 10. The site and surrounding properties are currently zoned as follows: a. North: R-1 b. East: R-3 3 c. South R-1 d. West C-3 11. The site is vacant 12. Properties to the south and west of the site are vacant. 13. The property directly to the north contains one SFDU built in 1930; 14. Properties to the east have recently been developed with Habitat for Humanity SFDUs. 15. The Comprehensive Plan designates the property"Mixed Residential." 16. The Comprehensive Plan Mixed Residential designation allows for R-S-20, R-S-12, R-S-1, R-1, R-2, R-3, or R-4 zoning. 17. The Comprehensive Plan Mixed Residential designation includes "Single-family dwellings, patio homes,townhouses, apartments and condominiums at a density of 5-20 dwelling units per acre." 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- 5-12 (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. A concomitant agreement would not be required in this circumstance. 4 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends based on the Findings of Fact and Conclusions that Lot 1 Block 2, Whitehouse Addition (APN#112 072 132)and Lot 2 and the South%of Lot 3 Block 2,Whitehouse Addition(APN#112 072 123) located at the northeast corner of East Alvina Street and north Franklin Avenue, be rezoned from R-1 to R-3. 5 LU = ti ? � .-��' t�3.-Lam."-��'•;-�� �J �� � ' � �� ��' - -- -�.- _.-.C�-�_Y�., 3MV W vi 77 ui ti r~ r�Mf; • r �}1 i 1/1 i_l _ Y {'ate"''\ •�~ .�R ' 1 4:i -F y T Y 1 ` �1 � �• -� •Ory ,x, d �. lba low mm- LU �LI K 3n'`3H3M1 N 3d 1 � ] m iLU �K Lu AJ 3AV STI�JVHO N J01 s �- .� I c pyo w - : 3AV NI 1 �..i _�• 1 ' 'mow, � . � . , ��� , ' 0 N r1000 t �i U Rt v%$ 3 F � yy v Woe w ZNFIGis nois rais H N o � a z Ln na s n -As a n 3s L, w CD 3AV 3H3M N 3AV O 3H3 LU C7 LU n is o n As u nay uaej—!alnW N � N N F-� LU ais ou u 0 w n > > cn H N a z 3AV S3INVHN W > O�N�P a C, P4 LU CD 4ue:)e 3 w 12 L D N U Ln LD ' � j 5 m 3AV NIIMNV84 N cd cd a, ^� vE Lo N � � 1 t o �a�n C14 ¢, cu L) 01 7 r ' 00 6 N u_ pREe'or1 Pie I 155,Z C� 22 y ° dCD � auauaanoS m °; lepaauauaa SaJln l - LU z co z , U J Q i U) LJ O3AV 3H3M N 3AV Lr 3H3 C� N w ` cn f � U r W f LJ W I Q z 3AV SAINVHD N W J 1Fook Wr r G P 4PV - i■r� � U V M M e � U . . 3AV NIINNb'!i3 N O 1 PSE 1�1 o �D PH 1 Q � N �4 . r cd 1 11 � o '1 1 CD v v LL �i GpN PSEOF N09.

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 1 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-5-20 (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: 2 The property was previously developed with o 4-plex very similar to, if not identical to the former structure. The structure was destroyed in afire 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." S. 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.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Legal: GERRYS ADD E17' OF LOT 19 &ALL OF LOTS 20 THRU 24 BLOCK 7 General Location: 419,421, 425 West Bonneville Property Size: 0.46 acres 2. ACCESS: The property has access from N 4t"Avenue and W Bonneville Street 3. UTILITIES: Municipal water and sewer service are available to the property. 4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential District). Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: NORTH: R-3 Office/SFDUs EAST: R-3 SFDUs SOUTH: C-1 Surface Parking Lot/ Retail WEST: C-1 Services (Personal) 5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:The Comprehensive Plan indicates the site is intended for mixed residential development. The purpose and description for the mixed residential land use includes single-family dwelling units, patio homes, townhouses, apartments and condominiums at a density of 5-20 dwelling units per acre. The mixed residential designation also serves as a transition between lower and higher density. Policy LU-2-B of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the support of existing and future recreational, educational and cultural facilities and services within neighborhoods. 6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for this project. Based on the SEPA checklist, the current City Comprehensive Plan and development regulations, and other information, a threshold determination resulting in a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued on June 3, 2019 for this project under WAC 197-11-158. 1 ANALYSIS The Franklin County Historical Museum Society proposes to construct a separate (detached) 3,500 square- foot museum annex that will serve as an extension to the existing Franklin County Museum. The site is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential) district as is much of the surrounding area.The Downtown Pasco/Central Business district is immediately to the south of the site.The Pasco Municipal Code states that a special permit for the preservation of a historic place may be requested for uses not otherwise permitted within the applicable district. The site previously consisted of three separate and adjoining residential lots that were recently consolidated and recorded by the Franklin County Assessors Office (Parcel #112-052-244). Current plans indicate that the new building will have dimensions of 50'x 70' and built using a pre-engineered steel material.Approximately one-third of the new building area will be used for the storage of museum material culture collections,which are currently stored off-site. The remaining area will be used for general exhibition space and a proposed location for a new Mid-Columbia Ag Hall of Fame display. Current design plans indicate that the building will also feature a combination of a metal,stucco and glass to complement the existing museum. The Museum was originally constructed in 1910 as part of Andrew Carnegie's worldwide library construction program. In 1980 the Franklin County Historical Society was offered the opportunity to use the building as its museum. It opened to the public as the Franklin County Historical Museum on January 3, 1983. A special permit was first discussed with the Planning Commission in November 2018 however,the item was postponed and continued for multiple meetings (March, April, May and June of 2019) to allow the applicant to mitigate and respond to the site layout and design identified by staff.These concerns included the setback of the structure and location of the parking area. The final design of the site was coordinated between staff and the applicant and resulted in a design that is complementary of the surrounding residential neighborhood and the Central Business District. The layout now locates parking in the back of the facility, allowing the structure to be located closer to the street with a dedicated lane for a loading area for patrons of the museum. In addition to site revisions, the applicant submitted a letter to City staff from the Rite Aid located at 214 N 4th Avenue(directly across from the proposed museum annex)that will permit patrons of the museum annex to use their businesses existing parking facility. A public hearing was held at the October 17, 2019 Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission voted unanimously in favor of the special permit for the location of the museum and annexation building and recommended approval with conditions as contained in the November 13th, 2019 Hearing Examiner staff report. No written appeal of the Planning Commission's recommendation was received. INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT Findings of Fact must be entered from the record. The following are initial findings drawn from the 2 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 is located on previously three separate parcels addressed as 419,421 and 425 W Bonneville Street. 2. The site is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential) 3. The site is located immediately to the east of the Franklin County Museum. 4. The proposed annex building will be an extension of the existing museum and will be used for storage and exhibition space. 5. The building will total 3,500 square feet(50'x 70')in size and is to be constructed out of stucco, metal and glass. 6. The Franklin County Museum is classified as a National Historic Site. 7. The use of a historic place may be requested via Special Permit for uses not otherwise permitted within the applicable district of the site. 8. The museum was constructed as a Carnegie Library in 1911 and has been in use as museum since 1983. 9. Public notice of the hearing was sent to property owners within 300 feet of the property on 3/31/2019 and posted in the Tri-City Herald. 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. Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives and text of the Comprehensive Plan? a) Policy LU-2-B of the City Comprehensive Plan encourages the fostering of adequate provisions for educational and cultural facilities throughout the urban growth area, including information exhibits. 2. Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure? a) The proposal will not generate an abnormal impact to public infrastructure such as water and sewer. The site will be served by the existing transportation network including various Ben Franklin Transit routes within walking distance. 3. Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity? a) The applicant intends to complement the appearance of the existing museum by 3 constructing the annex building with stucco, glass and metal. The submitted design renderings appear to include noticeable differences in the style of the annex building compared to the exiting museum.The museums exterior is primarily stucco while the annex is predominately metal. 4. Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site design discourage the development of permitted uses on property in the general vicinity or impair the value thereof? a) Prior renderings indicate a maximum height of 22 feet.The allowed maximum height in the R-3 zoning district is 35 feet. The height of the proposed building will not result in any nuisance situations however the appearance and style of the exterior may. As currently designed, the appearance of the structure will contrast with the surrounding neighborhood character. S. Will the operations in connection with the proposal be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise,fumes,vibrations, dust,traffic, or flashing lights than would be the operation of any permitted uses within the district? a) The proposed annex building and operations is not expected to create adverse impacts to other permitted uses. 6. Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and developed where proposed, or in any way will become a nuisance to uses permitted in the district? a) It is expected that the proposed annex building will not cause harm to the health and safety of the public and that the associated activity will not become a nuisance to the permitted uses in the vicinity. APPROVAL CONDITIONS 1. The Special Permit shall apply to tax parcel 112-052-244; 2. No outdoor storage of equipment or materials shall be allowed; 3. The applicant shall comply with all building code requirements for the occupancy class applicable to the use; 4. The applicant shall develop the site in substantial conformance with the proposed museum annex site plan as constructed in the 11/13/2019 Hearing Examiner Staff Report; 5. The applicant shall not be required to meet the requirements of PMC 25.185.170; 6. Employee only parking shall be located in the rear of the proposed structure, with access via the alleyway on N 4t"Avenue; 7.
