MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING City Hall - Council Chambers 1WC0 525 North Third Avenue Pasco, Washington THURSDAY, MAY 21, 2020 6:00 PM CALL TO ORDER City of Pasco Planning Commission meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m.,by Chair Tanya Bowers.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Commissioner Abel Campos led the Pledge of Allegiance. WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Chair Bowers explained the Planning Commission is an advisory board made up of volunteers appointed by City Council. She further explained the purpose of the Planning Commission was to provide recommendations to City Council regarding changes to the City's Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Updates, Block Grant Allocations and Zoning Code. The Planning Commission is tasked with considering the long-term growth and development of the community,the impact of land use decisions on community,livability, economic opportunity, housing affordability, public services and the environment. Chair Bowers reminded the audience tonight's proceedings were being broadcast live on City of Pasco's Facebook page and on Charter Cable PSC Channel 191 and will be rebroadcast several times during the next month. She stated the meeting was also being recorded and could be watched on City of Pasco's website, which is Pasco-wa.gov. Click on the VIDEO ON DEMAND link and make your selection there.

For those present this evening,when you are given the opportunity to address the Commission,please come to the podium, speak clearly into the microphone and state your name and city of address for the record. Chair Bowers reminded the audience and the Planning Commission that Washington State law requires public meetings like the one being held this evening not only be fair, but also appear to be fair. In addition,Washington State Law prohibits Planning Commission members from participating in discussions or decisions in which the member may have a direct interest or may be either benefited or harmed by the Planning Commission's decision. An objection to any Planning Commission member hearing any matter on tonight's agenda needs to be aired at this time or it will be waived.

Chair Bowers asked if anyone in the audience objected to any Planning Commission member hearing any of the items on the agenda. There were no declarations. Chair Bowers stated the Planning Commission needed and valued public input explaining it helped the Commission understand the issues more clearly and allowed for better recommendations to City Council. Furthermore, in many cases, this could be the only forum for the public to get facts and opinions placed into the official record and City Council will use to make the Commission's decision. She encouraged those present to take full advantage of this opportunity. APPROVAL OF MINUTES ❖ Commissioner Myhrum moved to approve the Planning Commission meeting Minutes of December 19, 2019. Commissioner Cochran seconded and the motion carried. PUBLIC HEARINGS Comp Plan Amendment (CPA2019-001) Kidwell: Commissioner Bowers stated that it should be noted that this item has been pulled from the agenda. This item will not be entertained at today's meeting. Comp. Plan Amendment-Urban Growth Area (MF#2020-001): Senior Planner Jacob Gonzalez explained this is a continuation of the public hearing specifically tonight we are going to cover the upcoming request for Franklin County for the expansion of the Urban Growth area for the City of Pasco to go along with the draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Bowers asked the fellow commissioners if they had any questions or comments for staff. Commissioner Jordan asked some of the letters that we have received from community members makes it sound like planning has been happening between the city and them, is that something that has been happening on our end or on someone else's end with regards to the city. Senior Planner Jacob Gonzalez stated we received the letters and the comments on the UGA area application again we just want to restate that the item in front although it is titled Comprehensive Plan the focus on the Comprehensive Plan item tonight is the actual boundary itself obviously the land use is a significant component that there will be an opportunity to comment on the land use itself at a public hearing at the June Planning commission meeting with regards to the coordinated effort between staff and the public we took into account the twenty-nine plus comments that we received on the scope EIS in the fall of 2018, there were significant comments received during the 2018 process itself, not only by members of the planning commission and council, but also throughout the numerous open houses that were held at the time during the development of alternative number two, so we also went back and took a look at to those comments to make sure that when we came up with number three met the overall summary of what we could incorporate from the comments, while still meeting the requirements of the growth management act. He responded that no he does not believe that the staff has acted solely without any outside comment, I believe the comments is what allowed us to develop Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 10 May 21,2020 the scoped EIS and the EIS process itself. Commissioner Ransier thanked the staff for the fabulous EIS draft. Commissioner Bowers stated that there were several letters that state that proper procedure was not followed and I am specially referring to a letter from Halverson/Northwest law group from Mark Fickes says that our clients did not receive notice of the change. Senior Planner Jacob Gonzalez stated that to reiterate staff has sent notices to properties as required by the Pasco Municipal Code to all properties impacted by the Urban Growth area it was approximately 330 notices that were sent out multiple times as we have had some cancelled meetings over the past few months and again I think that we should remember that the whole intent of the compact real target was to revise the Urban Growth area and subsequently the land use is associated with that. This is a second public hearing that we have held on the Urban Growth area. Senior Planner Jacob Gonzalez wanted to note that what was proposed in 2018 would not have been approved by the county. ❖ Caleb Stromstad stated that there were significant changes made to create alternative three speaking as a whole for the development community that the public comment in 2018 was sufficient for alternative two, alternative three with significant changes to the Urban Growth boundary line and the land uses there was not public comment received to create alternative three. We have attempted to engage city staff and it has been over a year now that the time for public comment is at the public comment period. He feels that the development community has been left out in the loop. The schedule that was proposed stays the course and does not include any revisions or review of public comment. We are asking the Planning Commission make a recommendation to City council, that City staff seriously consider these comments. The first item that we want to address is Fred Olberding property, there is a 30 acre commercial island in a sea of residential that is the letter that Mr. Fickes has provided the planning commission that commercial land use designation appeared out of nowhere, without consultation from the land owner. That any plan that we know of and the only thing that we can make sense of that is was done to artificially manipulate the traffic study. ❖ Dave Greeno with Big Sky Developers stated that we have developed over 500 lots in the last five years in Franklin County and the City of Pasco. We have played big ball with the City I brought City water down from Road 100 two miles to intersect at Dent and Culver, so I am very aware of the growth and what we are trying to do. I have talked with multiple people involved in the UGA expansion there's probably twenty to thirty percent that don't want to sell that are included in this, and I know that can change I can understand that. We have under contract Ms. Culver's property that is a budding this UGA, it's a 100 acres we are going to be forced to do one acre lots, we have the opportunity to bring down City utilities right into the UGA and create 150 lots. Mr. Olberding property we do have under contract as well 80 acres as Caleb said in a sea of residential they are throwing in 30 acres of commercial, which makes no sense. ❖ George Dockstader stated he just wants the planning commissioner to look at this thing it's not just looking at a map, drive out there and look at these properties and go out 68 and look at the mess it already created north of Burns road. Road 68 should be five lanes all the way out to Clark Road and we are going to have a mess in there that is already started. You people need to go out and look at this stuff before you approve it. You got twenty percent of the ground is proposed for the UGA that's not going to get developed. You got both sides of Road 68 one owner a legacy farm he doesn't want to do anything cause he is saving it for Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 10 May 21,2020 his grandkids ❖ Fred Olberding stated when we did the UGA boundaries the Port of Pasco was against it one of my pieces of property because it interfered with their flight zone so I worked with them and I signed over an easement an air easement to that property and then that piece of property was pulled out of the UGA never got notification of that. I was working with Mr. Greeno and Mr. Dockstader because I sold a piece of property to the school district and it would only make sense that next to the school district would be residential and come to find out there is thirty acres of commercial in there. Well you all need to get out and drive down Burns Road to Road 68 there is no pavement there. There is a no trespassing sign and they aren't going to go down a cow trail, there's at least 2 signs that say deaf children please drive slow that inaccessible. The next thing I wanted to touch on is the traffic implantation besides 182 the next best one is Clark Road and you can take Clark Road cross the railroad tracks because the development industrial in Pasco and all that is going to have to have roads, highways, overpasses over railroads tracks. ❖ Randy Mullen stated that his family has lived in the Pasco area since 1945, we have some property right along Road 68 that is prime commercial property we have a ready willing and able buyer that needs a lot of that property right now for commercial use and its zoned mixed family. Fred has a bunch of property that he is trying to get rid of commercial zone and we want that commercial zone and we would have someone who would be an asset to the City of Pasco who wants quite a bit of that property in there right now and the way its zoned according to this map they would not be able to do that. I think it would be a benefit to the City if this commercial user could locate there. ❖ Steve Bauman stated that under the heading reduce sprawl it says reduce inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density development. First question would be who decided if it is inappropriate, as a developer I haven't been asked if it inappropriate, I have asked a lot of land owners that I know and they haven't been asked about that so who decides if it's inappropriate. I trust as representatives that represent us, you on the commission that you would be the one that decides that not City staff. The EIS that was presented tonight was that in fact at any point put before the public for comment not the 2018 one but the one from tonight, was there any way for the public to see that and have comment on it. I have brought about 350 lots to development in the last 4 years into development, I believe that we have a significant stake what is in these decisions we have before us. ❖ Rick White, Director Community Economic & Development department stated about the availability of the EIS the public comment period as Mr. Gonzalez mentioned the draft EIS was released Friday May 15 there is a thirty-day comment period. We notified approximately 450 owners Franklin County notified another 50 owners it's on our webpage, if you haven't received a notice you will shortly and the comment period ends June 15 so thirty-day comment period from May 15 to June 15 and I would urge all the speakers tonight that want to provide comments here verbally this evening also provide some version of written comments to be included in the record for the Environmental Impact Statement. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 10 May 21,2020 ❖ Mr. Gonzalez, Senior Planner stated that he did take some notes and obviously, I know everyone that has commented here so we can reach out but written comments would be appreciated so we can respond appropriately and put them in the public record of the final EIS prior to its release and be considered for the rest of its process here. I just want to say that as development occurs there is an expectation in that roads would be improved with the necessary capacity for safety improvements as necessary depending on the adjacent land use development, while today some of these roads may look bare or primitive in some cases when development does occur through the City's normal review process there will be improvements required prior to the development being approved here locally. I think that there is to note that if there was a significant change it because there was, it is a necessary change as I mentioned earlier just for the capital facilities plan of the UGA itself so not the rest of the City of what already exist just the expanded boundary itself 3500 or so acres there is an estimated cost of$114 million that does not include maintenance, operations and what it takes to keep those facilities up and running throughout the duration of their life spans, and I think it's important for us to understand that while we throw around the term growth will pay for growth and there should be a caveat with an asterisk beside that slogan because not all growth pays for growth, if you're talking about industrial growth than perhaps but low-destiny development patterns specifically when it's the majority of your land use will not pay for the entire life span that it takes to maintain these facilities thus putting the onus on the rest of the existing property owners and taxpayers of the City of Pasco. That is a requirement of the Growth Management Act we do believe that alternative number three gives us a much better opportunity at meeting the intent of the Growth Management Act, I also urge anyone interested to take a look at the 2008 Comprehensive Plan and the draft Comprehensive Plan goals and policy that are established by the Pasco City Council obviously they take into account public considerations, that is where we get a lot of input from and we encourage folks to continue taking the surveys that is what allows us to develop these long range plans. ❖ Charles Layard stated he is speaking on behalf of the Thanksgiving Limited Partnership which is a Partnership comprised of Tibbett family siblings,who have been investing in real estate in Pasco since the seventy's and full disclosure Paul Tibbett who is the management partner is my father-in-law and I am the designated broker and Bob Tibbett who have provided planning consultant for this property for a number of years. Back in 2011 partnership began discussing including 120 acres of the UGA with the City of Pasco the idea originated from two needs one the City needed a soccer complex and two the partnership wanted to work with its neighbors to create a land use buffer between the industrial development which was coming from the south and the residential neighbors to the north. The Partnership went so far as to submit a proposal a detailed proposal to sell the City land and water rights for a soccer complex and the City went so far as to design a soccer complex, consult a water rights expert and meet with the neighbors to discuss how the complex would be managed. After meeting with the neighbors the partnership applied to have 120 acres included in the UGA of which 30 acres would be zoned for the soccer complex and the remaining 90 acres C-3 upon annexation. TLP meet with the City department heads as late as October 2019 to discuss the proposal and we left with no idea that the UGA had been modified to exclude 80 of the 120 acres originally approved through resolution 3845 as alternative two. I am here to ask tonight that the planning commission reconsider staffs proposal to include all 120 acres of the TLP property that was originally Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 10 May 21,2020 approved in resolution 3845 for the following reasons we understand the City is not focused on a soccer complex in that area but this should not exclude the TLP from building a soccer complex as a legacy project that will also provide a practical land use buffer.If as inspected, our neighbors to the south of the TLP property put in a Casino/Hotel on their recently acquired property located adjacent to TLP property we think this will be compliment to these uses. The most important thing Capital Avenue has extended as part of the American Recovery Investment Act through the Obama administration and it was intended to stimulus the economy and by excluding all this growth we can't figure out why it doesn't make any sense that the City would not be more keen to utilize these assets sooner rather than later. ❖ Mark Fickes stated he is a real estate land use attorney in Yakima I am here on behalf of Fred Olderbing and Big Sky Developers I have two matters to discuss with the planning commission;I did submit a detailed letter on the Olderbing commercial designation I ask that you review that prior to any additional meetings. Long story short I disagree while I appreciate Jacob Gonzalez summary and what happen I do think there is a significant procedural defect in this process and that alternative three has not had adequate public participation and development and I think it violates RCW 36.70A.035 and I suggest the City consultant with legal counsel doesn't serve a purpose for an attorney to argue with commission members and Rick White should consultant with Eric Ferguson. Long story short this meeting should not have happened until after the EIS comment period was expired. Not to mention that fact that during a Covid crisis with only given three minutes doesn't meet the spirit and intent of the State's Growth Management Act, which is to allow your development community and property owners to comment. I appreciate that the City and County is behind on their GMA mandates this should have been done a couple ofyears ago, but you want to do the process right or its going to have to be started over.Again going to Fred Olberding the merits of the letter there is no evidence on this record of why 30 acres of prime residential property next to your future high school would be zoned commercial, nobody wants it and there is no evidence in the record to support it,you don't have a demand for it and as Caleb Stromstand stated Bruns Road isn't a commercial arterial there is no way you can handle commercial traffic from Burns Road so the request would be to go back to alternative two or you as the planning commission have the power to make recommended minor modifications. We would propose regarding the Olderbing property that the commercial designation be removed and that if you go with some form of alternative three which is not cast in stone contrariety to what Mr. Gonzalez told you the commercial designation should be removed not supportable on the record and it violates all kinds of goals and policies of the GMA which is you only have commercial development where the infrastructure is needed like along Road 68. ❖ Mark Fickes stated switching to the Culler expansion this is 104 acres of prime residential property overlooking the Columbia River that was included in alternative one and two the reason our clients didn't comment is they thought it would be within the UGA. Alternative three now has it located outside the UGA. This property is already ready to be developed now by Mr. Greeno and Big Sky Developers with a simple water extension/sewer extension you can developed it in a responsible way using City services, which is what the GMA want. This property all the UGA is remember where you expect urban level growth to happen in the next twenty years. This property is ready to be developed immediately, current owner Debra Culler does not want to farm it any more, the property is under contract and again Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 10 May 21,2020 with a responsible developer that you are familiar with, and with a simple water/sewer extension you can develop it in a denser level without onsite septic system,protecting the Columbia river and without use of ground water also protecting the environment and Columbia river. I doubt there would be an opposition to adding another 100 acres into the UGA in the far northwest corner of the property. ❖ Randy Hayden stated he is with the Port of Pasco, the City of Pasco request in adding industrial land to the UGA, to promote economic development and that refers to option three. The additional land to be added to the UGA within the 395 corridor just north of existing development all this land is already industrial land for the county. Question becomes whether it is better to be developed in the county or the city. It is also close to railroads, highway inner change and major power and gas. We also believe it is a balanced request the City has taken out other industrial land already in their inventory to add the new lands in, so we think it is a balanced approach. ❖ Caleb Stromstad stated he just wants to irritate the Culler property, Big Sky Developers proposing to extend City sewer one mile up Dent Road it is going to open up 900 acres for immediate development and again the planning commission, we encourage you to read the letters that were already submitted. Jacob you mentioned that you were going to comment and respond to letters, we would greatly appreciate written comments being responded to, we have not seen that happen in the past.I will justgive an example from Tibbetts summited a letter in March and there has been no dialogue or discussion or comment in response to that. Big Sky Developers has contracted with Mr. Fickes, land use attorney who submitted a letter in the staff report and he just recently submitted another one for the Culler property that I encourage the planning commission to read. Again, we would very much appreciate the City to comment on these letters, because we have been asking for information how the commercial land use designation there is and is there justification and we can only speculate. ❖ Jacob Gonzalez stated residential development along the shoreline would likely have to comply with the shoreline management plan required in the shoreline management act, so while it may be available for development that does not necessary mean that is in the best interest of the City of Pasco to develop along the shoreline. Commercial designations surrounded by residential in 2017 maybe even 2016 the City of Pasco partnership with the Washington Transportation actually worked on an interstate justification report looking at future land use a lot of them, which ended up in alternative number two and that report ended being held up because the lack of commercial land use allocated in the City of Pasco predominantly north of the interstate. What we see which we count basic travel patterns is that the majority of the residents that live north of the interstate end up having to travel through Road 68 through Road 100 onto the interstate and work elsewhere, and while we can't control where anybody works, we have limited employment opportunities in the City of Pasco. We have done well on the industrial however, regarding the industrial allocation itself the City of Kennewick actually commissioned a regional industrial analysis, which determine that we had over capacity of industrial room in the region. The City of Pasco took a little bit more in depth approach we were able to take away some places including the Port they requested a larger area along with the Tibbett company east of Capital Avenue. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 10 May 21,2020 ❖ Rick White stated that he wanted to make sure that on the June 18 Planning Commission meeting this topic would also be on the agenda. I want to irritate again that we are in the public process right now and thatMr.Dockstader comments perceive that we are not having public comment that is what we are doing right now, that is what the draft EIS statement process is for public comment. Yes, there is an alternative no action there is a larger 4800 expansion and then alternative three, which is the subject of many of the speakers we are in a public comment and that you should put something in writing so that they are on the record for the future consideration for the planning commission for the final decision not only by City council but by Franklin county planning commission and the Franklin County commissioners. The commissioners have the final say in the Urban Growth boundary areas the City does not. Commissioner Tanya Bowers stated that she is looking at staff recommendation to accept the public comments on the Urban Growth Area and the draft EIS to continue the public hearing until the June 18 planning commission meeting. ❖ Commissioner Myhrum stated is it customary that in this process that there could be tailor custom modifications made to the plan based on property owners request or is the process more of a based on capacity, looks like the maps are more based on capacity less on individual property owners.In regards to the Broadmoor master plan is fully flushed out in alternative two and it looks like in alternative three it is but I don't see as much detail in the Broadmoor area which would allow for higher density development in there. ❖ Rick White stated that in response to Commissioner Myhrum first question that of course the scale of the request or comments, which would dictate how much reworking the transportation analysis, the capital facility analysis and anything else connected with the change would dictate. So if we are talking about 100 acres here 100 acres there it's going to entail some more additional work If we are talking about one or two acres,perhaps a different configuration, or four or five acres of commercial that may not. However, it depends on the scale of the request. ❖ Jacob Gonzalez stated about the Broadmoor area we did incorporate the majority of forecasted of housing growth target in Broadmoor within the twenty year time frame obviously Broadmoor isn'tgoing to develop fully within the next eighteen to nineteen years but we tried to incorporate as much as reassembly possible to take advantage of thatgrowth. Code Amendment-Waterfront Development District(MF# CA2019-001): Senior Planner Jacob Gonzalez stated this was a continuation of the public hearing on the proposed creation of the Waterfront Develop District the applicant is the Port of Pasco. This item has been discussed with the planning commission at a workshop in September of 2019, and public hearings in February and March of this year. Staff has had productive discussions with the Port of Pasco regarding the code its development standards and the compliance with the existing Comprehensive Plan goals and policies including the Shoreline Master plan and program. The staff report remains relativity the same but it should be noted that there is one update regarding the permitted use of private streets. As identified Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 10 May 21,2020 in the attached to the staff report from AHBL, staff agrees with the concept and the applicability with the Waterfront Development District. ❖ Nicole Stickney with AHBL stated she is presenting on behalf of the Port of Pasco. We are proposing a new creation of a zoning district in the City of Pasco this will be known as the Waterfront Development District. Therefore, it will be a new chapter in your zoning code titled 25 I believe. The intent here is to implement a mixed use of land designation, which will be forthcoming once the City updates their Comprehensive Plan. So for a while now the City has been interested in seeing a portion of the waterfront development there off Osprey Pointe be changed to a mixed-use designation on their land use map and that this proposal will help implement that. ❖ Gary Below the director of economic development for the Port of Pasco stated that he supports the planning commission and staff that this has been a long process and I figured planning commission had really heard enough from me just want to get on record that the Port of Pasco does support the addition to the zoning code. ❖ Commissioner Jerry Cochran made a motion to close the public hearing on the creation of the Waterfront District and set June 18, 2020 as the date for deliberations and recommendation for City Council. Commissioner Able Campos seconded the motion and motion carried. WORKSHOP Code Amendment- Street Connectivity (MF# CA2019-013): Senior Planner Jacob Gonzalez stated this was an item that was continued from prior meetings this was at workshops in December 2019 and March 2020. At the prior meetings that focus was on the need for this code amendment to meet already existing and established goals of the City Council, Comprehensive Plan, numerous federal and state regional guidance on transportation specifically on providing multi mobile connectivity opportunities for the public. The objective of this effort is to revise the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC 21.15, PMC 21.20)to meet adopted Council goals,policies and to meet the needs of our community and future growth. Code Considerations • Block Perimeters • Block Length/Width • Mid-Block Connections • Connection to adjacent properties Staff is seeking preliminary comments from the Planning Commission on the proposed draft revisions. A full code amendment will be brought back to the Planning Commission as a public hearing at the June 18, 2020 meeting. ❖ Commissioner Tanya Bowers stated that on page 6 I heard you say 1320 feet is the current average. Senior Planner Jacob Gonzalez stated no 1320 is the maximum block length currently permitted in the Pasco Municipal Code. Commissioner Bowers asked do you want our feedback whether we prefer scenario one, two, three or four. Senior Planner Jacob Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 9 of 10 May 21,2020 Gonzalez stated that would be preferred or just a general guidance. The larger you make your block you lose the intended benefits. We will bring this back for a public hearing in June to hear from the public and anyone else that would like to comment. ❖ Commissioner Cochran stated do we have a comparison of other similar metropolitan areas surrounding eastern Washington, is this also a problem in Kennewick and Richland. It would be help full to understand what are their block parameters.I do not know how much you have exposed this to the development community but is there any comments on these changes. ❖ Commissioner Paul Mendez asked what is the impact to the annual transportation cost per household is there a correlation will it increase it. ❖ Commissioner Anne Jordan would like to have more of a visual of what the lot sizes will look like in real terms to lots in Pasco now. ❖ Commissioner Abel Campos asked are we talking about in terms of the surveys are the residents wanting to see a different pattern are we talking about the grid pattern or are we talking about still using others and if so based on the scenarios that we saw is there one better for the grid. OTHER BUSINESS ADJOURNMENT With no further business to bring before the Planning Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 8:07 pm. Respectfully submitted, Kristin Webb, Administrative Assistant II Community&Economic Development Department Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 10 of 10 May 21,2020 MEMORANDUM TO PLANNING COMMISSION Ciry"1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 1�I� Pasco City Hall —525 North Third Avenue—Council Chambers DATE: THURSDAY, June 18, 2020 6:00 PM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Jacob B. Gonzalez, Senior Planner SUBJECT: MF #CA 2019-007 Waterfront District Background The Port of Pasco requested an amendment to the Pasco Municipal (Zoning) Code for the creation of a new zoning district titled "Waterfront District." PMC 25.210.020 states that any person, firm, corporation or group of individuals, or municipal department may petition the Pasco City Council for a zone or text change. The Port of Pasco owns, operations and manages major facilities in the greater Pasco area including the Tri-Cities Airport, Big Pasco (Industrial Center),the Pasco Processing Center and has led and participated in various programming and planning for economic development in our region. The proposed amendment would encompass approximately 52 acres of property owned by the Port of Pasco, north of the Sacagawea Heritage Trail and bound by E Ainsworth to the North, S Gray Street to the West and SE Road 20 to the East. The primary use of the existing property is Osprey Pointe, a business and office center home to the Port of Pasco offices. Although the properties included are currently zoned industrial, the upcoming City Comprehensive Plan has re-classified the area for Mixed Residential/Commercial land use. The Port of Pasco and the City of Paso have identified the Osprey Pointe area as a significant opportunity to provide residents with a unique experience providing additional access to the waterfront. Proposed Code Amendment Considerations The proposed Waterfront District Zoning code would be permitted under the Mixed Residential/Commercial Land Use per the upcoming Comprehensive Plan. The Waterfront District Zone itself will be permitted on the Port of Pasco/ Osprey Point owned site. The code contains several departures from current zoning requirements that will more easily encourage and permit mixed-use development opportunities identified for the Osprey Point vision. The primary change in zoning is the allowance of residential uses for Osprey Pointe. The combination of residential, commercial, office with light industrial provides the Port of Pasco with an opportunity to maximize development potential in Osprey Pointe. Additional considerations and discussion for the Planning Commission should include the following items (excerpts from the proposed code amendment): 1 Permitted Uses/Prohibited Uses Flexible range of permitted uses reflects the necessary diversity of development required to encourage and reinforce the Osprey Pointe and Waterfront vision and purpose that would include offices, restaurants, retail, hospitality and entertainment uses. Residential uses would be allowed on the western edges of the property. Conditional uses shall be considered for the following: retail/wholesale (exceeding 80,000 sgft), service stations and drive-through uses. Prohibited uses would cover those that are high impact and could not be made compatible with the development including (but not limited to) heavy industrial and manufacturing uses. Density/Height A minimum density of 14 units per acre would be required for residential portions of the Waterfront District, and a height limit of 60 feet would be in place thus limiting the maximum density of any residential development. The Comprehensive Plan permits the Mixed Residential/Commercial Land Use to include a range of 5-29 dwelling units per acre, thus permitting the proposed densities proposed in the draft amendment. Setbacks Development standards for setbacks in the proposed code would allow commercial and residential uses with higher intensities to be placed closer the street while lower intensity uses (single-family dwelling units) would be separated from the street and other units. Parkin In an effort to promote a safe and walkable environment, the proposed code decreases the required parking than what is required by the existing Pasco Municipal Code. The Waterfront District includes a series of features and tools to ensure that adequate parking is provided and used efficiently without overburdening properties. Streets (Private) The code amendments proposes the use and permitting of both public and private streets. The City does not currently have standards for private streets, and only permits the use of private streets through the Planned Unit Development Ordinance (PMC 25.140). City staff believes that streets serving the Waterfront District shall include considerations for the safe movement of all users, residents and customers and should include accommodations for safe pedestrian access, bicycle travel and automobile traffic. As identified in the attached submittal from the Port of Pasco and AHBL (Appendix B), the allowable use of private streets that perform and create active places will further implement the vision identified for Osprey Point. 2 State Environmental Policy Act A SEPA Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued on March 23, 2020. The DNS for the non-project action was made per WAC 197-11-340(2). The SEPA received one comment letter, from the Washington State Department of Transportation (Appendix C).

PMC Title 25 - DRAFT May 12, 2020 10 MEMORANDUM DATE: June 11, 2020 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Angela R. Pitman, Block Grant Administrator SUBJECT: 2021 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM ALLOCATION (MF#BGAP2020-003) Requests for Funding Attached for your review and consideration are the CDBG Fund and Proposal Summaries (Attachments 1 & 2) relating to our Community Development Block Grant Program for program year 2021. Sixteen (16) requests for funds were submitted totaling $1,828,750. Applicants will present their proposals before the Planning Commission on June 18, 2020.No action is required of the Planning Commission at the June 18' meeting, only consideration of the applications is necessary. Estimated Funds Available It is estimated that the 2021 annual entitlement grant will be$700,000 based on the award for program year 2020.Together with prior year funds and estimated program income it is estimated there will be$1,005,814 available for 2021 activities. There is always some question regarding actual funding levels approved by Congress. Actual available funding for these FY 2021 activities will remain in question until the early part of the year when the CDBG allocation is made by Congressional Resolution. If funding levels are lower than estimated or eliminated the city will need to consider a number of options, including a voluntary or proportionate reduction of allocation, possible inclusions in the 2021 city general fund budget requests. If funding levels are higher than estimated, activity funding will be reallocated in accordance with the contingency plan according to the greatest need. Public Service Cap HUD regulations state that the amount of CDBG Funds obligated within a program year to support public service activities may not exceed 15%of the combined total of the entitlement plus the prior year's program income. Based on the estimated entitlement of$700,000 and prior year program income of$55,000, the maximum available for public service activities in 2021 is $113,000. Current requests for public services total $201,500. Planning & Administration Cap HUD regulations state that the amount of CDBG Funds obligated within a program year to support planning and administration activities may not exceed 20%of the combined total of the entitlement plus the current year's program income.For 2021,the estimated entitlement of$700,000 makes the maximum available for planning and administration $140,000. Current requests for planning and administration total $140,000. Staff recommends a maximum of$140,000 for planning and administration (20%) due to the additional burden f'or HOME grant administration and project delivery. No action from the Planning Commission is necessary. The Commission is expected to hear from the 2021 applicants and have the opportunity to ask questions. The City Staff would like to thank the members of the Planning Commission for your time and assistance.

Describe your project and its proposed location, including what exactly the CDBG funds will be used for,a description of the persons you will be serving,and why the project is needed. The Boys&Girls Clubs of Benton and Franklin Counties (BGCBFC) is committed to empowering all young people,especially those who need us most,to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Since 1996, BGCBFC has helped thousands of local children claim great futures through our award- winning programs and life-changing mentorships.We currently offer 27 Club sites throughout our region serving over 4,400 youth ages 0-18 years each year.Consistent with our values of Respect, Integrity, Stewardship,and Passion for Youth;we provide a broad range of programs and activities focused on our priority outcomes of Academic Success, Healthy Lifestyles, and Good Character and Citizenship. The Boys&Girls Club has been blessed to operate our services out of a City owned building since 1999. Since that time, we have become a meaningful part of the service framework that allows youth to reach their full potential. The Main Branch serves approximately 200 youth each day,with about 30-40 of those youth being I teens from the surrounding neighborhood and key outreach areas in central Pasco. In spring of 2020, as our community was being impacted by the reality of COVID-19,we saw a drastic change to our funding model. Neighborhood based Clubs, like the Main Branch in Pasco,are financially supported through donations, public support, and revenue from licensed childcare operations. This balanced model has allowed us to sustain our work for the past 20 years. However,COVID-19 has drastically changed the financial outlook for Clubs. Donations are expected to be much reduced for the next 12 months, especially in light of the cancelling of fundraising events. Additionally,social distancing and business closures have created an environment where licensed childcare does not generate revenue to support the Main Branch, but is instead draining resources. We are requesting CDBG funds to support the Teen Program at the Main Branch facility located at 801 N. 18th Ave. This site serves more than 30 teens each day,with an annual membership of over 300 teens each year. 93%of our members are youth of color, and over 50%live in single parent households. More than 90%of the youth we serve at the Main Branch qualify for free and reduced lunch through the Pasco School District, 2021 CDBG Application-Public Service Project 1 Teen services provide a positive and supportive environment for local youth,with a focus on mentoring, prevention programs, career exploration, and academic success. College visits and leadership programs are signature components of this program. We are committed to ensuring that teens have dedicated facilities and dedicated staff that increases their sense of belonging and ownership,while ensuring safety and supervision. Our staff are committed to developing developmental relationships with youth,ensuring that they have the support they need to reach their great futures. 2. Describe the unmet need in the community using statistics, demographics or other factual information. As mentioned above, the Main Branch serves close to 200 youth each day during afterschool hours. Specifically,the teen program serves more than 30 teens each day,with an annual membership of over 300 teens each year. 93%of our members are youth of color,and over 50%live in single parent households. More than 90%of the youth we serve at the Main Branch qualify for free and reduced lunch through the Pasco School District. The Tri-Cities Gang Assessment states that the top reasons that local youth join gangs include protection,to make friends,to belong, and to make money.The assessment recommends a holistic approach to addressing community gang problems that includes prevention,intervention and suppression. Boys& Girls Clubs are the opposite of a gang, though we provide many of the benefits that gang members are searching for.At the Club, we provide youth a sense of belonging,usefulness,influence,and competence. This is our Youth Development Strategy. Criminal street gangs provide these same opportunities to youth, but in a way that damages the framework of our society rather than building it up. The Main Branch is a place where youth find a place to belong and make friends. it is a place where children, teens, and their families can rest assured knowing they are safe and protected.The Club is a resource to the community, offering positive and empowering programs at a cost of no more than$20 per year. Our Clubs have a history of changing the trajectory of at-risk youth by engaging them in impactful and empowering programs. The Boys &Girls Club is a lot more than a safe,supervised location,though that is an important part of who we are. We do not just want to provide Pasco youth with a place to go—we also want to encourage them to grow and flourish in life.When children and teens visit our Main Branch,they are provided with the tools and relationships needed to excel academically, lead a healthy life and grow into a productive and caring citizen. Academic Success means that we are committed to keeping our Club members on track to graduate.We help them every day with their homework and work hard to get them back in school if they drop out.We are helping teen members prepare for college,trade school, military or employment. Healthy lifestyles means encouraging our youth to take care themselves. Modeling and teaching healthy lifestyles is important at the Club. Our youth members learn to eat healthy and stay active through fun activities, as well as make healthy lifestyle choices to protect their futures. Good Character and Citizenship is teaching our kids that they can make a difference in their community. We believe in them and, because of this,we hope they will begin to believe in themselves. Our Club members will be active in the community as volunteers and become leaders in their school and/or social circles. Central to all activities are relationships with positive and caring adults.Our team of supportive professionals will be there to walk beside these children and teens.They will empower them daily to be the best they can be. Our Club members will always have an advocate and mentor, regardless of where they come from. 2021 CDBG Application -Public Service Project 2 Studies from the Institute for Social Research and School of Public Health at the University of Michigan show that every dollar invested in Boys&Girls Club generates$12.30 of positive economic impacts in our local community. 3.

What impact will your project have in the community? How will you measure your success? The Teen Program at the Main Branch will have a clear impact on the Pasco community based on the delivery of life changing programs and mentorship to teens in our community. Relevant statistics on Club impact include the following: • A recent Harris Survey found that 52%of Club Alumni say that their Club experience "saved their life". • Club members outperform their peers in areas such as grade progression, attendance,graduation, and reduction in risk behaviors. • Teens who stay in the Club as they get older seem better able to resist high-risk behaviors than their peers nationally. • A study in partnership with OSPI of more than 10,200 Club members in Washington found that our j members were 36%less likely to be chronically absent when compared to students across the state. • A study conducted at the University of Michigan in 2015 found that every$1 invested in Boys&Girls Club returns $9.60 in current and future earnings and cost-savings to local communities. Success of this program will be measured through youth engagement,specifically measures like Average Daily Attendance(ADA), Frequency of Attendance, and grade progression. 2021 CDBG Application-Public Service Project 4 10.

Are the above"other sources"of funds secured? Please describe: At this point, for 2021,we do not have funding commitments for the above funds. However, we are committed to increased fundraising efforts to ensure continued operation of our traditional Clubs in both during and in the aftermath of the COVID crisis. CDBG funding for 2021 will help to balance out fundraising and revenue losses to ensure sustained operations moving forward. 13. If you do not receive the requested funds or receive only a portion of what you request,what will you do? We are committed to sustaining and growing the Teen Program at the Main Branch, even in the financial challenges post COVID. However,without an investment by the City of Pasco that may be limited. We will continue to invest in private fundraising as a sustainability mechanism for this work,and will work diligently to protect services for vulnerable youth. However, without an increase in community support,our ability to deliver our mission and services may be limited. 14. If your request includes recurring costs such as staff time, supplies, etc.,what is your plan to secure funds for these needs in the future? (The purpose of CDBG funds is not to fund projects that are the general responsibility of government or to maintain the operation of a non-profit organization.) Although public support for our work is always welcome and needed,we do feel that the economy will recover in upcoming years and will once again allow for fundraising activity and profitability in licensed childcare. We anticipate that 2022 will be a more sustainable environment for services than 2021 will be. 15. Check yes "or no for each of the following questions; Assessment Question Yes No7l 1.

Describe your project and its proposed location, including what exactly the CDBG funds will be used for,a description of the persons you will be serving,and why the project is needed. The CDBG Technical Assistance grant allows PSK to serve low, low-moderate and above individuals interested in starting a food business, whether catering,manufacturing,baking or mobile vending.These micro-enterprises foster economic development by creating jobs in Pasco and the surrounding community. 2. Describe the unmet need in the community using statistics,demographics or other factual information. PSK is the only commercial kitchen in the area that is both a commissary kitchen as well as a USDA certified facility.This allows PSK to be a viable option to all types of food service entrepreneurs. PSK is also a facility able to produce and sell its products online.According to Forbes magazine,smaller start- ups with less than 20 employees have a higher failure rate in the first 1-3 years then the national average which already has a high failure rate in that same window.This number is further exacerbated when a 3- month reserve is not available. PSK has a target of helping the very people that meet all of these criteria and our 3-year renewable membership helps them to keep costs low. This allows us to serve the Pasco community which has a higher percentage of low to moderate income individuals. According to Food Truck Stats, "In general,it costs between$28,000 and$114,000 to get a food truck business up and running".The cost to operate the same business at PSK,will cost them a fraction of those amounts, between $600 to$9,600 a year on average. This allow us to help micro enterprises to build a path for success,with the goal of creating new jobs and a sustainable source of income while growing their business and finding a brick and mortar space in the near future. 3.

Are the above"other sources" of funds secured? Please describe: A portion of the funds come directly from program and usage fees and is a forecastable knowable number.A portion comes from general fundraising that has been consistent over a five year span. 13. If you do not receive the requested funds or receive only a portion of what you request,what will you do? We would have to offer a reduction of services that have been paramount to our recent membership growth. We would have to look at updating pricing structures that would eliminate us as an option for some potential clients, especially low to moderate income clients. PSK would also have to look at a reduction in staff time which would mean reducing programs that provide economic stimulus to both PSK members and the local community. 14. If your request includes recurring costs such as staff time, supplies, etc.,what is your plan to secure funds for these needs in the future? (The purpose of CDBG funds is not to fund projects that are the general responsibility of government or to maintain the operation of a non-profit organization.) f We would look to alter our client pricing structure and look to private and corporate funding resources. 2021 CDBG DPDA PSK Technical Assistance 4 IS.

A Performance Measurement System has been designed to establish and track measurable objectives and outcomes for the CDBG program. There are three key elements to the Performance Measurement System—Objectives,Outcomes and Indicators. All approved applicants will be required to comply with the Performance Measurement System. Determine which one of the three objectives best describes the purpose of the activity/project: Objective 1. Suitable Living Environment—This objective relates to activities that are designed to benefit communities,families,or individuals by addressing issues in their living environments. Objective 2. Decent Housing—This activity typically is designed to cover the wide range of housing possible under CDBG. This objective focuses on housing programs where the purpose of the program is to meet individual family or community needs and not programs where housing is an element of a larger effort, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable Living Environment. Objective 3. Create Economic Opportunity—This objective applies to the types of activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization or job creation. Determine which Outcome best describes your proposed activity/project: Outcome 1. Improve availability/accessibility—This category applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public facilities, housing,or shelters available or accessible to low/moderate income people,including persons with disabilities. In this category,accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the affordable basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate income people where they live. Outcome 2. Improve affordability—This category applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways in the lives of low/moderate income people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups,or services such as transportation or day care. Outcome 3. Improve sustainability—This category applies to projects where the activity or activities are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods. These are the key Indicators that HUD will use to assist in demonstrating benefits that result from the expenditure of CDBG funds. These are for your information only—you do not have to choose an Indicator. • Public facility or infrastructure activities • Public service activities • Geographically targeted revitalization effort • Jobs retained • Commercial facade treatment/rehabs that are not target area based • Number of homeless persons given overnight shelter • Acres of brownfields remediated that are not target area based • Number of beds created in overnight shelter or other emergency housing • New rental units constructed that are affordable,504 accessible,quality • Number of new or existing businesses assisted and the DUNS number of as Energy Star,are occupied by special needs populations etc. the business • Homeownership units constructed,acquired,and/or acquired with • Jobs created for previously unemployed,number that now have access to rehabilitation,numberthat are affordable,how many years affordable, employer sponsored health care,types of jobs created,training provided, 504 accessible,qualify as Energy Star,are occupied by special needs etc. populations,etc. • Owner occupied units rehabilitated or improved that are brought from • Number of households with short-term rental assistance,number of substandard to standard condition, qualify as energy efficient, are now special needs households,number of homeless households,etc. compliant with lead safe housing rules, are accessible for persons with disabilities,are occupied by special needs populations,etc. • Assistance of down payment/closing costs to homebuyers to purchase a • Households that received emergency financial assistance to prevent home, number of first time homebuyers, number who receive housing homelessness,or received emergency legal assistance to prevent counseling homelessness 2021 CDBG DPDA PSK Technical Assistance 10 2021 CDBG DPDA PSK Technical Assistance 11 RISK ASSESSMENT FORM C-2021-3- DOWNTOWN PASCO DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY CULTURE SPECIFIC SMALL BUSINESS/MICROENTERPRISE GRANT PRO GAM # Assessment Question Yes N/A Score 1.

Service area determination will generally be accepted by HUD unless the grantee-defined area is clearly too small or too large.Factors to be considered in making the determination of the area served are: Nature of the Activity: In determining the boundaries of the area serviced by a facility,its size and how it is equipped need to be considered. Example, a park expected to serve an entire neighborhood cannot be so small or have so little equipment (number of swings, slides, etc.)that it would only be able to serve a handful of persons at any one time. Conversely, a park which contains three ballfields or a ballfield with grandstands cannot reasonably be said to be designed to serve a single neighborhood.The same comparison would apply to the case of assisting a small,two- lane street in a residential neighborhood versus that of an existing arterial four-lane street that may pass through the neighborhood but is clearly used primarily by persons passing through from other areas. What is the Nature of the Activity? Location of the Activity: Where an activity is located will affect its capacity to serve particular area,especially when the location of a comparable activity is considered.A library, for example,cannot reasonably be claimed to benefit an area that does not include the area in which it is located.When a facility is located near the boundary of a particular neighborhood, its service area would be expected to include portions of the adjacent neighborhood as well as the one in which it is locate. (Note that the grantee may carry out activities that are even outside its jurisdiction if it is done in accordance with §570.309.) Is the Activity an appropriate fit for the location?_____________________ Accessibiliry issues: The accessibility of the activity also needs to be considered in defining the area served.For example,if a river or an interstate highway forms a geographic barrier that separates persons residing n an area in a way that precludes them from taking advantage of a facility that is otherwise nearby,that area should not be included in determining the service area. Other limits to accessibility may apply to particular activities. For example,the amount of fees to be charged, the time or duration that an activity would be available,access to transportation and parking, and the distance to be traveled can all constitute barriers to the ability of persons to benefit. Language barriers might also constitute an accessibility issue in a particular circumstance. What are the barriers to accessibility? Available comparable activities: The nature,location,and accessibility of comparable facilities and services must also be considered in defining a service area. In most cases,the service area for one activity should not overlap with that of a comparable activity (e.g.,two community centers,two clinics,or two neighborhood housing counseling services). Are there comparable activities available?_ FIT OF SERVICE AREA Because the regulations require that census data be used to the maximum extent feasible for determining the income of persons residing in service area,the boundaries of the service area determined by the grantee for the activity need to be compared with the boundaries of census divisions(tracts,block groups,etc.).The census divisions that best fall within the service area should be used for defining the service area for purposes of reporting on the activity and for calculating the percentage of L/M income persons residing in that area. While this means that the census divisions chosen for this purpose may exclude some limited number of persons that are in the actual service area or include some who are not,the practicality of using the census data will override unless the proportion of persons so excluded or included is too great. The alternative would be to survey excluded/included persons and to adjust the data obtained from the census computer runs accordingly. Surveys can be quite costly and their use should be limited whenever possible. Are the boundaries of the service area appropriate? COMMERCIAL SERVICE AREAS A store will usually be considered to serve an area generally. Where the business itself has had a recent market survey to define the area it serves,it should be used for CDBG purposes. Where it does not have such a survey,an analysis of the location and accessibility of comparable stores should be taken to define the area served.When the CDBG assistance provided is not to a particular business but to the shopping center or commercial strip in which it is located(e.g.,fagade improvements),the area served would be that of the entire center or strip. Again,an analysis of comparable centers/strips should be undertaken in defining the service area.Note that it may not always be possible to define the area served by a commercial business, such as in the case where the businesses depend on tourists.Moreover, some commercial facilities serve a very broad area(e.g.,a regional shopping mall)and the area may be so large an area that it is unlikely to meet the 51%L/M income residents test.

OBJECTIVES—OUTCOMES—INDICATORS HUD requires recipients of federal funding to assess the outcomes of the program in question, in order to better assess the effectiveness of the activity. A Performance Measurement System has been designed to establish and track measurable objectives and outcomes for the 2021 CDBG DPDA Microenterprise Program R1 8 1 CDBG program. There are three key elements to the Performance Measurement System—Objectives,Outcomes and Indicators. All approved applicants will be required to comply with the Performance Measurement System. I 2021 CDBG DPDA Microenterprise Program R1 9 i ? Determine which one of the three objectives best describes the purpose of the activity/project: Objective 1. Suitable Living Environment—This objective relates to activities that are designed to benefit communities,families,or individuals by addressing issues in their living environments. Objective 2. Decent Housing—This activity typically is designed to cover the wide range of housing possible under CDBG. This objective focuses on housing programs where the purpose of the program is to meet individual family or community needs and not programs where housing is an element of a larger effort, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable Living Environment. Objective 3. Create Economic Opportunity—This objective applies to the types of activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization or job creation. Determine which Outcome best describes your proposed activity/project: Outcome 1. Improve availability/accessibility—This category applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public facilities, housing, or shelters available or accessible to low/moderate income people, including persons with disabilities. In this category,accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the affordable basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate income people where they live. Outcome 2. Improve affordability—This category applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways in the lives of low/moderate income people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or services such as transportation or day care. Outcome B. Improve sustainability—This category applies to projects where the activity or activities are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods,helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods. These are the key Indicators that HUD will use to assist in demonstrating benefits that result from the expenditure of CDBG funds. These are for your information only—you do not have to choose an Indicator.

I Factors: • Nature of the Activity �tv • Location of the Activity DUWn�b W h • Barriers to accessibility • Available Comparable Activities r J A • Fit of Service Area • Commercial Service Areas FACTORS FOR DETERNIINING SERVICE AREA When grantee does not have a pre-determined identification of the area served for a given facility or service,it is necessary to determine the service area for qualification under LMA benefit. Service area determination will generally be accepted by HUD unless the grantee-defined area is clearly too small or too large.Factors to be considered in making the determination of the area served are: Nature of the Activity: In determining the boundaries of the area serviced by a facility, its size and how it is equipped need to be considered. Example, a park expected to serve an entire neighborhood cannot be so small or have so little equipment (number of swings, slides, etc.)that it would only be able to serve a handful of persons at any one time. Conversely,a park which contains three ballfields or a ballfield with grandstands cannot reasonably be said to be designed to serve a single neighborhood.The same comparison would apply to the case of assisting a small,two- lane street in a residential neighborhood versus that of an existing arterial four-lane street that may pass through the neighborhood but is clearly used primarilyyL by persons passing through from other areas. What is the Nature of the Activity? Location of the Activity. Where an activity is located will affect its capacity to serve particular area, especially when the location of a comparable activity is considered. A library, for example, cannot reasonably be claimed to benefit an area that does not include the area in which it is located.When a facility is located.near the boundary of a particular neighborhood, its service area would be expected to include portions of the adjacent neighborhood as well as the one in which it is locate.(Note that the grantee may carry out activities that are even outside its jurisdiction if it is done in accordance with §570.309.) Is the Activity an appropriate fit for the location? b//�M)� Accessibility issues: The accessibility of the activity also needs to be considered in defining the area served. For example,if a river or an interstate highway forms a geographic barrier that separates persons residing n an area in a way that precludes them from taking advantage of a facility that is otherwise nearby,that area should not be included in determining the service area. Other limits to accessibility may apply to particular activities. For example,the amount of fees to be charged, the time or duration that an activity would be available, access to transportation and parking, and the distance to be traveled can all constitute barriers to the ability of persons to benefit. Language barriers might also constitute an accessibility issue in a particular circumstance. What are the barriers to accessibility? Available comparable activities.- The ctivities:The nature,location,and accessibility of comparable facilities and services must also be considered in defining a service area. In most cases,the service area for one activity should not overlap with that of a comparable activity (e.g.,two community centers, two clinics,or two neighborhood housing counseling services). Are there comparable activities available?_ [,Jn _ FIT OF SERVICE AREA Because the regulations require that census data be used to the maximum extent feasible f'or determining the income of persons residing in service area,the boundaries of the service area determined by the grantee for the activity need to be compared with the boundaries of census divisions(tracts,block groups,etc.).The census divisions that best fall within the service area should be used for defining the service area for purposes of reporting on the activity and for calculating the percentage of L/M income persons residing in that area. While this means that the census divisions chosen for this purpose may exclude some limited number of persons that are in the actual service area or include some who are not,the practicality of using the census data will override unless the proportion of persons so excluded or included is too great.The alternative would be to survey excluded/included persons and to adjust the data obtained from the census computer runs accordingly. Surveys can be quite costly and their use should be limited whenever possible. //� Are the boundaries of the service area appropriate?__ Pryi" ��5�� ��✓Ut � G��K►�G OtS�'G�J� OBIECTID GEOID Source geoname Stusab CountynarrState County Tract Blckgrp Low Lowmod Lmmi LowmodunLowmod_pct 205755 5.3E+11 2015ACS Block Grou WA Franklin Co 53 21 20200 1 1155 1380 1445 1590 86.79 205757 5.3E+11 2015ACS Block Grou WA Franklin Co 53 21 20200 3 1200 1405 1995 2075 67.71 205766 5.3E+11 2015ACS Block Grou WA Franklin Co 53 21 20400 6 295 790 1270 1315 60.08 2650 3575 4980 53% 72% 100% Pili y ` Cit Masco Community Development Block Grant Application 2021 Program Year Applicant Downtown Pasco Development Authority Address 110 S.4th Avenue, Pasco,WA Project Name Facade Improvement Program Contact Person Gustavo Gutierrez Gomez Telephone 509-528-8131 Email ggomez@downtownpasco.com Federal Tax ID# 45-3169348 DUNS# 078888852 (required) (required) CDBG Funds Requested $165,000.00 Leverage $27,500.00+ Private 1.

A Performance Measurement System has been designed to establish and track measurable objectives and outcomes for the CDBG program. There are three key elements to the Performance Measurement System—Objectives,Outcomes and Indicators. All approved applicants will be required to comply with the Performance Measurement System. Determine which one of the three objectives best describes the purpose of the activity/project: Objective 1. Suitable Living Environment—This objective relates to activities that are designed to benefit communities,families,or individuals by addressing issues in their living environments. Objective 2. Decent Housing—This activity typically is designed to cover the wide range of housing possible under CDBG. This objective focuses on housing programs where the purpose of the program is to meet individual family or community needs and not programs where housing is an element of a larger effort, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable Living Environment. Objective 3. Create Economic Opportunity—This objective applies to the types of activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization or job creation. Determine which Outcome best describes your proposed activity/project: Outcome 1. Improve availability/accessibility—This category applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public facilities, housing,or shelters available or accessible to low/moderate income people,including persons with disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the affordable basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate income people where they live. Outcome 2. Improve affordability—This category applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways in the lives of low/moderate income people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups,or services such as transportation or day care. Outcome 3. Improve sustainability—This category applies to projects where the activity or activities are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods. These are the key Indicators that HUD will use to assist in demonstrating benefits that result from the expenditure of CDBG funds. These are for your information only—you do not have to choose an Indicator. • Public facility or infrastructure activities • Public service activities • Geographically targeted revitalization effort • Jobs retained • Commercial facade treatment/rehabs that are not target area based • Number of homeless persons given overnight shelter • Acres of brownfields remediated that are not target area based • Number of beds created in overnight shelter or other emergency housing • New rental units constructed that are affordable,504 accessible,quality • Number of new or existing businesses assisted and the DUNS number of as Energy Star,are occupied by special needs populations etc. the business • Homeownership units constructed,acquired,and/or acquired with • Jobs created for previously unemployed,number that now have access to rehabilitation,number that are affordable,how many years affordable, employer sponsored health care,types of jobs created,training provided, 504 accessible,qualify as Energy Star,are occupied by special needs etc. populations,etc. • Owner occupied units rehabilitated or improved that are brought from • Number of households with short-term rental assistance,number of substandard to standard condition, qualify as energy efficient, are now special needs households,number of homeless households,etc. compliant with lead safe housing rules, are accessible for persons with disabilities,are occupied by special needs populations,etc. • Assistance of down payment/closing costs to homebuyers to purchase a • Households that received emergency financial assistance to prevent home, number of first time homebuyers, number who receive housing homelessness,or received emergency legal assistance to prevent counseling homelessness 2021 CDBG DPDA Facade Improvement Program 9 2021 CDBG DPDA Facade Improvement Program 10 RISK ASSESSMENT FORM C-2021-4-11 BENTON FRANKLIN CAC - HOME ENERGY ENERGY EFFICIENT HOME PROGRAM (15 HOUSEHOLDS) # Assessment Question Yes NO N/A Score 1.

Describe your project and its proposed location,including what exactly the CDBG funds will be used for,a description of the persons you will be serving,and why the project is needed. The project will improve and increase the affordability of housing for low-to moderate-income residents of the City of Pasco through home weatherization assistance. Homes assisted under this project are made more durable, energy efficient,safe and healthy by installing insulation,and repairing or replacing furnaces,roofs, windows or insulated doors.Testing of indoor air quality systems,lead based paint clearance testing,and customer education on energy usage and lead based paint hazards are also services provided under the project. The CDBG funds requested will be used to leverage State energy conservation funds made available to agencies such as Community Action Connections(CAC).Washington State Department of Commerce(COM) sponsors the Energy Matchmakers Program authorized through RCW 70.164.The Legislature created the program in 1987, and has authorized the use of state capital funds each biennium since 1991, to provide weatherization services to low-income households.The program is designed to leverage matching funds,and a community can participate by providing a dollar-for-dollar match. By taking advantage of this opportunity to leverage funds,this program can help as many as fifteen(15)households cost-effectively,and make available additional revenue to the local economy at a time when other resources are dwindling. The project would use an existing energy conservation program format with policies and specifications developed by CAC and COM. 2. Describe the unmet need in the community using statistics,demographics or other factual information. Based on a presentation given by Joel Warren of The Cloudburst Group at the stakeholders meetings for the development of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan for the Tri-Cities Consortium,`The most common housing problem for both owners and renters in the Tri-City region is cost burden.Cost burden=paying more that 30%of household income towards housing costs."Housing costs include the amount of household paid utilities. Based on that report,46%of renters and 20%of owners experience housing cost burden in the City of Pasco. 2021 Community Development Block Grant Fund Allocatin Application 3.

Factors: • Nature of the Activity .1p," Cly • Location of the Activity • Barriers to accessibility N D • Available Comparable Activities i • Fit of Service Area 0 Commercial Service Areas FACTORS FOR DETERA'IINING SERVICE AREA When grantee does not have a pre-determined identification of the area served for a given facility or service, it is necessary to determine the service area for qualification under LMA benefit.Service area determination will generally be accepted by HUD unless the grantee-defined area is clearly too small or too large.Factors to be considered in making the determination of the area served are: Nature of the Activity: In determining the boundaries of the area serviced by a facility,its size and how it is equipped need to be considered. Example, a park expected to serve an entire neighborhood cannot be so small or have so little equipment (number of swings, slides, etc.)that it would only be able to serve a handful of persons at any one time. Conversely, a park which contains three ballfields or a ballfield with grandstands cannot reasonably be said to be designed to serve a single neighborhood.The same comparison would apply to the case of assisting a small,two- lane street in a residential neighborhood versus that of an existing arterial four-lane street that may pass through the neighborhood but is clearly used primarily by persons passing through from other areas. What is the Nature of the Activity?___ Location of the Activity: Where an activity is located will affect its capacity to serve particular area,especially when the location of a comparable activity is considered.A library, for example,cannot reasonably be claimed to benefit an area that does not include the area in which it is located. When a facility is located near the boundary of a particular neighborhood, its service area would be expected to include portions of the adjacent neighborhood as well as the one in which it is locate. (Note that the grantee may carry out activities that are even outside its jurisdiction if it is done in accordance with §570.309.) Is the Activity an appropriate fit for the location? Accessibility issues: The accessibility of the activity also needs to be considered in defining the area served. For example,if a river or an interstate highway forms a geographic barrier that separates persons residing n an area in a way that precludes them from taking advantage of a facility that is otherwise nearby, that area should not be included in determining the service area. Other limits to accessibility may apply to particular activities.For example,the amount of fees to be charged,the time or duration that an activity would be available,access to transportation and parking,and the distance to be traveled can all constitute barriers to the ability of persons to benefit. Language barriers might also constitute an accessibility issue in a particular circumstance. What are the barriers to accessibility? Available comparable activities: The nature,location,and accessibility of comparable facilities and services must also be considered in defining a service area. In most cases,the service area for one activity should not overlap with that of a comparable activity (e.g., two community centers,two clinics,or two neighborhood housing counseling services). Are there comparable activities available? FIT OF SERVICE AREA Because the regulations require that census data be used to the maximum extent feasible for determining the income of persons residing in service area,the boundaries of the service area determined by the grantee for the activity need to be compared with the boundaries of census divisions(tracts,block groups,etc.).The census divisions that best fall within the service area should be used for defining the service area for purposes of reporting on the activity and for calculating the percentage of L/M income persons residing in that area.While this means that the census divisions chosen for this purpose may exclude some limited number of persons that are in the actual service area or include some who are not,the practicality of using the census data will override unless the proportion of persons so excluded or included is too great. The alternative would be to survey excluded/included persons and to adjust the data obtained from the census computer runs accordingly.Surveys can be quite costly and their use should be limited whenever possible. Are the boundaries of the service area appropriate?

Describe your project and its proposed location,including what exactly the CDBG funds will be used for,a description of the persons you will be serving,and why the project is needed. The Boys&Girls Clubs of Benton and Franklin Counties(BGCBFC)is committed to empowering all young people, especially those who need us most,to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Since 1996, BGCBFC has helped thousands of local children claim great futures through our award- winning programs and life-changing mentorships. We currently offer 27 Club sites throughout our region serving over 4,400 youth ages 0-18 years each year.Consistent with our values of Respect, Integrity, Stewardship, and Passion for Youth;we provide a broad range of programs and activities focused on our priority outcomes of Academic Success, Healthy Lifestyles, and Good Character and Citizenship. The Boys&Girls Club has been blessed to operate our services out of a City owned building since 1999. Since that time,we have become a meaningful part of the service framework that allows youth to reach their full potential. The Main Branch serves approximately 200 youth each day, with about 30-40 of those youth being teens from the surrounding neighborhood and key outreach areas in central Pasco. We are requesting CDBG funds to provide much needed exterior safety and accessibility improvements to the Main Branch located at 801 N. 18`h. This is a City owned building,leased to the Boys&Girls Club for the purpose of providing youth services in the City. The building is owned by the City of Pasco and the land is owned by the Pasco School District. This partnership with three entities have allowed for a mixed investment of private funds to support public facilities, bringing great value to the City of Pasco. The scope of work would include repaving existing blacktop which is currently exhibiting cracks and degradation. Additionally, additional safety lighting would be installed on the front and rear of the building. The front step would be reengineered to include an ADA accessible ramp and low maintenance stair entry. Sidewalk access and clear crossing areas would also be identified as part of the scope of work. As funds allow, utilities may be relocated to the northeast corner of the property to prepare for future expansion of teen services into a dedicated space. 2021 CDBG Application-Brick and Mortar Project 1 This project would allow for accessibility into the facility for physically impaired youth and adults via a ramp and additional sidewalk access. Additionally,this renovation would represent a large safety improvement by eliminating tripping hazards on current asphalt and improvement to exterior lighting. 2. Describe the unmet need in the community using statistics,demographics or other factual information. As mentioned above,the Main Branch serves close to 200 youth each day during afterschool hours with an annual membership of more than 800. 93%of our members are youth of color,and over 50%live in single parent households. More than 90%of the youth we serve at the Main Branch qualify for free and reduced lunch through the Pasco School District. At the Club,we provide youth a sense of belonging,usefulness, influence, and competence. This is our Youth Development Strategy. Criminal street gangs provide these same opportunities to youth, but in a way that damages the framework of our society rather than building it up. The Main Branch is a place where youth find a place to belong and make friends. It is a place where children, teens, and their families can rest assured knowing they are safe and protected. The Club is a resource to the community,offering positive and empowering programs at a cost of no more than$20 per year. Our Clubs have a history of changing the trajectory of at-risk youth by engaging them in impactful and empowering programs. The Boys &Girls Club is a lot more than a safe,supervised location,though that is an important part of who we are. We do not just want to provide Pasco youth with a place to go—we also want to encourage them to grow and flourish in life.When children and teens visit our Main Branch,they are provided with the tools and relationships needed to excel academically, lead a healthy life and grow into a productive and caring citizen. Academic Success means that we are committed to keeping our Club members on track to graduate.We help them every day with their homework and work hard to get them back in school if they drop out.We are helping teen members prepare for college,trade school, military or employment. Healthy Lifestyles means encouraging our youth to take care themselves. Modeling and teaching healthy lifestyles is important at the Club. Our youth members learn to eat healthy and stay active through fun activities, as well as make healthy lifestyle choices to protect their futures. Good Character and Citizenship is teaching our kids that they can make a difference in their community.We believe in them and, because of this, we hope they will begin to believe in themselves.Our Club members will be active in the community as volunteers and become leaders in their school and/or social circles. Central to all activities are relationships with positive and caring adults. Our team of supportive professionals will be there to walk beside these children and teens.They will empower them daily to be the best they can be. Our Club members will always have an advocate and mentor, regardless of where they come from. Studies from the Institute for Social Research and School of Public Health at the University of Michigan show that every dollar invested in Boys&Girls Club generates$12.30 of positive economic impacts in our local community. 3.

What impact will your project have in the community? How will you measure your success? The Main Branch will continue to have a clear impact on the Pasco community based on the delivery of life changing programs and mentorship to teens in our community. Relevant statistics on Club impact include the following: • A recent Harris Survey found that 52%of Club Alumni say that their Club experience"saved their life". • Club members outperform their peers in areas such as grade progression,attendance,graduation, and reduction in risk behaviors. • Teens who stay in the Club as they get older seem better able to resist high-risk behaviors than their peers nationally. 1 • A study in partnership with OSPI of more than 10,200 Club members in Washington found that our members were 36% less likely to be chronically absent when compared to students across the state. • A study conducted at the University of Michigan in 2015 found that every$1 invested in Boys &Girls Club returns$9.60 in current and future earnings and cost-savings to local communities. Success of this program will be measured through youth engagement,specifically measures like Average Daily Attendance(ADA), Frequency of Attendance, and grade progression. 10.

Factors: • Nature of the Activity • Location of the Activity • Barriers to accessibility • Available Comparable Activities • Fit of Service Area • Commercial Service Areas FACTORS FOR DETERMINING SERVICE AREA When grantee does not have a pre-determined identification of the area served for a given facility or service, it is necessary to determine the service area for qualification under LMA benefit.Service area determination will generally be accepted by HUD unless the grantee-defined area is clearly too small or too large.Factors to be considered in making the determination of the area served are: Nature of the Activity. In determining the boundaries of the area serviced by a facility,its size and how it is equipped need to be considered. Example, a park expected to serve an entire neighborhood cannot be so small or have so little equipment (number of swings,slides, etc.) that it would only be able to serve a handful of persons at any one time. Conversely,a park which contains three ballfields or a ballfield with grandstands cannot reasonably be said to be designed to serve a single neighborhood.The same comparison would apply to the case of assisting a small,two- lane street in a residential neighborhood versus that of an existing arterial four-lane street that may pass through the neighborhood but is clearly used primarily by persons passing through from other areas. What is the Nature of the Activity? ' ,l d����4 Location of the Activity. Where an activity is located will affect its capacity to serve particular area,especially when the location of a comparable activity is considered. A library,for example,cannot reasonably be claimed to benefit an area that does not include the area in which it is located. When a facility is located near the boundary of a particular neighborhood, its service area would be expected to include portions of the adjacent neighborhood as well as the one in which it is locate. (Note that the grantee may carry out activities that are even outside its jurisdiction if it is done in accordance with§570.309.) ��-- Is the Activity an appropriate fit for the location? /,.' �,1 r 1'`�r`` 1:'. •'. f' lr �','r"- Accessibility issues: The accessibility of the activity also needs to be considered in defining the area served.For example, if a river or an interstate highway forms a geographic barrier that separates persons residing n an area in a way that precludes them from taking advantage of a facility that is otherwise nearby,that area should not be included in determining the service area. Other limits to accessibility may apply to particular activities.For example,the amount of fees to be charged,the time or duration that an activity would be available,access to transportation and parking,and the distance to be traveled can all constitute barriers to the ability of persons to benefit. Language barriers might also constitute an accessibility issue in a particular circumstance. What are the barriers to accessibility? ' Available comparable activities.- The ctivities:The nature,location,and accessibility of comparable facilities and services must also be considered in defining a service area. In most cases,the service area for one activity should not overlap with that of a comparable activity (e.g.,two community centers,two clinics, or two neighborhood housing counseling services). Are there comparable activities available? G '�� FIT OF SERVICE AREA Because the regulations require that census data be used to the maximum extent feasible for determining the income of persons residing in service area,the boundaries of the service area determined by the grantee for the activity need to be compared with the boundaries of census divisions(tracts,block groups,etc.).The census divisions that best fall within the service area should be used for defining the service area for purposes of reporting on the activity and for calculating the percentage of L/M income persons residing in that area.While this means that the census divisions chosen for this purpose may exclude some limited number of persons that are in the actual service area or include some who are not,the practicality of using the census data will override unless the proportion of persons so excluded or included is too great.The alternative would be to survey excluded/included persons and to adjust the data obtained from the census computer runs accordingly. Surveys can be quite costly and their use should be limited whenever possible. l� Are the boundaries of the service area appropriate? � COMMERCIAL SERVICE AREAS A store will usually be considered to serve an area generally. Where the business itself has had a recent market survey to define the area it serves, it should be used for CDBG purposes. Where it does not have such a survey, an analysis of the location and accessibility of comparable stores should be taken to define the area served. When the CDBG assistance provided is not to a particular business but to the shopping center or commercial strip in which it is located(e.g.,fagade improvements),the area served would be that of the entire center or strip.Again,an analysis of comparable centers/strips should be undertaken in defining the service area.Note that it may not always be possible to define the area served by a commercial business, such as in the case where the businesses depend on tourists. Moreover,some commercial facilities serve a very broad area (e.g., a regional shopping mall) and the area may be so large an area that it is unlikely to meet the 51%L/M income residents test.

Describe your project and its proposed location, including what exactly the CDBG funds will be used for,a description of the persons you will be serving,and why the project is needed. The City of Pasco is actively working to improve the Pasco Neighborhood Business district, and currently has two fully funded projects at various stages of bidding/construction along the Lewis Street corridor(Peanuts Park, Lewis Street Overpass). Between these projects is a corridor lined with various shops and restaurants, one of the most culturally critical corridors of downtown Pasco. The proposed Lewis Street Corridor Improvement project will increase pedestrian safety and ADA accessibility,and leverage the investments being made on both ends of the corridor. The project will consist of new ADA accessible sidewalks and driveways, street lights,pavement surface treatment and re-striping,planters,trees,and benches. A master-plan has been prepared for the neighborhood around the Lewis Street Corridor by KPG Interdisciplinary Design that recommended the corridor improvements included within this proposal. Note that CDBG funds will not be used for street improvements,that element of the project will be funded by the City's Asphalt Overlay and Stormwater funds. 2. Describe the unmet need in the community using statistics,demographics or other factual information. The neighborhood business district is an economically distressed area. According to the 2011—2015 census, over 63%of the residents of the served community are classified as low income according to the HUD guidelines. Property values in the area have been depressed,and a number of buildings are vacant or underutilized. The Lewis Street corridor between 2nd and 5th is lined with restaurants and shops; businesses that are suffering severe impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Encouraging patronage of these businesses in the coming years will be critical to the surrounding community that is financially supported by them. The City has replaced most of the hazardous individual sidewalk panels,but a number of sections still require replacement. In addition, pedestrian lighting and ADA accessibility improvements would help enhance resident's experience and encourage foot traffic along the business-lined corridor. 2021 Community Development Block Grant Fund Allocatin Application 1 3.

The project consists of improvements to a public facility(new sidewalks, improved lighting, landscaping, benches, etc.). The project specifically targets an area within the neighborhood that was struggling pre-COVID-19, and primarily consists of businesses that are highly susceptible to loss of revenue due to the ongoing pandemic. It will be critical that this area within the community is bolstered up to prevent a worsening of conditions.The proposed improvements would help increase pedestrian traffic outside the local business,which would both preserve legacy businesses and revitalize the currently run-down downtown corridor. 5.

What impact will your project have in the community? How will you measure your success? The project will improve pedestrian safety and accessibility for low income residents and people with disabilities. It will also improve the sustainability of the neighborhood business district by improving safety and accessibility. Success will be measured by reduction in damage claims, reduction in street crimes, increased business activity, increased attendance at festivals and events,increased property values, employment and sales tax. The project will match the aesthetics of the nearby projects (Peanuts Park, Lewis Street Overpass), and will provide a revitalized, refreshed appearance to core of downtown Pasco. 10.

Gonzalez, Senior Planner SUBJECT: MF# CPA 2020-001— Urban Growth Area Expansion Background The City of Pasco is continuing its efforts to the update the Comprehensive Plan consistent with the Washington State Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A). The Comprehensive Plan consists of goals, policies and an analysis of a variety of topics including economic development, transportation, and public services, land-housing and capital facilities. In addition, the Comprehensive Plan also guides decisions on development and growth within the City limits and the Urban Growth Area (UGA). The Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM) develops population projections for each county, followed by each county determining where that growth shall occur. Per RCW 36.70A.110, each county is then responsible for designation Urban Growth Areas where urban growth shall be encouraged. The delineation of each Urban Growth Area shall be sufficient to accommodate the projected population growth identified by the OFM and County. The population estimates for Pasco indicate the City is expected to reach a total of 121,828 residents by 2038, an increase of 48,238 (from 2018). In order to accommodate that growth, the City identified that an expansion of the Urban Growth Area would be necessary. As part of the ongoing Comprehensive Planning update efforts, the City of Pasco has been developing an application to Franklin County to increase our Urban Growth Area (UGA). Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Statement During the SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act) evaluation, the City (as the Lead Agency) determined that the Comprehensive Plan proposal would likely have significant adverse impact on the natural and built environment therefore requiring a full Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Scoping Notice for the EIS was released on October 8, 2018, and identified three alternatives for the expansion of the Urban Growth Area: 1. No Action: No UGA Expansion 2. Alternative No. 2: Traditional Growth Target (^'4,800 acres) 3. Alternative No. 3: Compact Growth Target (^3,500 acres). 1 The EIS provides the analysis for the Comprehensive Plan that will help determine the appropriate Urban Growth Area expansion for the City of Pasco. Staff and our consulting team released the Draft EIS on May 15th, 2020. Land Capacity Analysis Additionally, with recommendations from the Washington State Department of Commerce and Franklin County Planning Staff, the City conducted a Land Capacity Analysis. The Land Capacity Analysis identified the development capacity within the existing city limits and UGA.This allowed the city to make reasonable decisions on how much land was necessary and justifiable for expansion purposes. The results of the Land Capacity Analysis determined that Pasco has capacity to accommodate 63% of the forecasted growth within the existing City Limits and UGA. Approximately 3,500 acres would be needed to support the additional growth the year 2038. Capital Facilities Analysis The Capital Facilities Analysis for the UGA (see exhibits) identifies that a variety of revenue sources will be necessary to fund the new infrastructure including transportation, water, sewer along with the public services needed to serve the immediate growth. The estimated projected capital facility costs is $114,146,000.000. This cost is to serve the expanded Urban Growth Area for through the year 2025 and takes into consideration already adopted Transportation, Sewer and Water Plans along with the Capital Improvement Program by City Council. Per RCW 36.70A.110(3); adequate public facilities and the ability to provide service to developments must be identified. It should also be noted that projects may be partially funded during the development process to meet concurrency or mitigation required. It is expected that the revenue sources to fund infrastructure expansion of the UGA will include a variety of feeds, funds and contributions from developers. Summary It should be noted that while the City can request the expansion of the Urban Growth Area per title 17.84.010 of the Franklin County Municipal Code, the Growth Management Act grants the authority to the County to establish the boundaries. Upon an approved resolution from the Pasco City Council identifying the City's preferred Urban Growth Area boundary, the resolution along with a complete application will be submitted to the Franklin County for consideration. The expansion of Pasco's Urban Growth Area should be done with careful review sensitive to the variety of impacts it may have on the environment and taxpayers The Growth Management Act requires UGA's to be limited in size and justified with appropriate measures including the development densities and patterns expected of an urban area. Staff believes that the proposal for Alternative #3 is justified and reasonably able to meet the intent and requires of the Growth Management Act provisions as enacted by the Washington State Legislature. 2 Recommendation MOTION: I move the Planning Commission to close the public hearing and recommend to the Pasco City that the preferred Urban Growth Area be amended per Exhibit#1 (Alternative #3) attached to the staff report dated June 18th, 2020. 3 �rQ, k N } FRANKLIN COUNTY `- W ; E 4-L V AW ^l� ■ &Z ` Ri-chIA` t'i all e• #�M. -�L 9 .,.� FAIF - nl � _ y f _ ,h W EF BENTON COUNTY Va River Kennewick �.

As such we strongly support the City of Pasco's request for adding industrial land to the Urban Growth Area (UGA)to promote economic development and meet a number of Growth Management Act (GMA) goals in Pasco and Franklin County. There are many reasons to support this expansion: 1. Large scale, modern industrial development requires large contiguous parcels (20 acres or greater), nearby utilities, access to transportation (highway and rail), and for heavy industry, a buffer from residential property. While there is industrial land in Pasco and in the greater Tri-Cities, much of the industrial property does not meet these criteria. In the current Pasco UGA, much of the available property is in the Commercial Avenue corridor and will likely be developed soon making it unavailable for the long term planning contemplated by GMA. 2. Certain large industrial tracts are unavailable or very limited in their development. For example at the Tri-Cities Airport, we own approximately 220 acres of industrial land, but the land is in the runway protection area.While airport rules allow industrial development, it is restricted to the benefit of airport operations. Another 640 acre tract of industrial land east of the new Autozone is owned by the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) who has said that the land is too valuable as agricultural land to be used for industrial growth. 3. Recent agency purchases—the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation recently purchased 165 acres of industrial land located in the Commercial Avenue area. This is prime industrial land that will now likely become a casino. In 2016, DNR acquired 450 acres of industrial property within the UGA near the Snake River(separate from the parcel described previously), with no plans to pursue industrial development. It should be noted that neither of these governmental purchasers sought input from the local governments prior to making the purchase. !011x1 OIWOMI LVuv IV 14 MIM Pasco Planning Commission February 14, 2020 Page 2 of 2 4. The additional land to be added to the UGA within the Highway 395 corridor is just north of existing industrial development. All of this land is already in an industrial land use designation but within Franklin County.The question then becomes whether it is better for this industrial land to be developed outside or within the UGA. We believe it is better to develop the land within the city limits. By neighboring industrial growth with existing industrial development, a hub is created that reduces sprawl, reduces local traffic congestion, and takes advantage of complimentary industrial development such as cold storage facilities for food processors. 5. Creating a strong community—where industrial development occurs matters when creating a stable tax base for a community to provide needed services. The per capita assessed value in Franklin County is $40,000 per person. In Benton County that number is over 50% higher at $61,000 per person. Franklin County is also a net exporter of talent, exporting 6% (net) of its workforce each day to neighboring counties. Keeping the industry and the jobs that come with it in the same community where the workers are housed provides a more socially equitable outcome. 6. Aiding regional transportation - each day 11,000 workers from Franklin County commute to Benton County to work. The majority of this workforce is heading to Hanford,the Tri-Cities Research District and the Horn Rapids Industrial Park. Further regional reliance on industrial development located distant from workforce housing in Pasco will further clog roads. Companies will locate closer to their workforce if the right land is available, but that requires a UGA expansion. 7. Balanced request—the City of Pasco request to bring industrial land into the UGA is balanced by lands taken out of an industrial designation to more accurately reflect their development potential. This includes new designations of public reserve for property adjacent to the Tri-Cities Airport and lands farmed indefinitely by DNR. Other lands are transitioning to other uses. The Port owns several waterfront parcels that are more appropriate for mixed use than heavy industrial. Goals of the GMA include reducing sprawl, regional transportation and economic development. The City of Pasco request for adding industrial lands in the UGA is supportive of these goals and should be approved.

Box 293, DEVELOPMENT 525 N 3rd Ave, Pasco, WA 99301 RE: Notice of Public Hearing— Urban Growth Area Expansion Dear Planning Commission I wish to expression my opposition to the proposed urban growth area expansion. Specifically the area of 2,810 acres North of Burns Road. 1. The expansion further North will increase the congestion on RD 68 and its arterial roads of Burden RD, Sandifur Parkway, RD's 44 and 36, and the corresponding interchanges of Rd 68 and 100 and hwy182.The interchange already gets backed up onto hwy 182 from exit 7 and 9 during evening commute hours. The already planned expansion west of RD 100 will further congest that traffic as well. 2. Expansion north will also put a strain on city services, police and fire and rescue. That can remediated by hiring, buying and building more of necessary components of personnel, equipment and trucks. Additional Schools and teachers will be needed as well. Again more spending. More bonds, more taxes to approve, more funding to secure. 3. Expansions that have already taken place have brought in increasing number of real estate speculators that are building and buying homes to rent, rather than being affordable for families to purchase. The number of quick build storage units can confirm that. I am for progress and growth to meet the needs of prospering area. However, before expansion goes further there need to be plans set to accommodate the logistics of traffic and that the funding is available for the required service needs. We also need to build a community that helps build people and families. I appreciate the work that those who serve the city have done to make Pasco a good place to live and have a family. Please do the ground work planning to prevent problems rather than trying remediate them when they appear. Best Regards, Neil Withers EXHIBIT C THANKSGIVING LIMITED PARNTERSHIP P.O. BOX 3027 PASCO WA 99302-3027 (509) 545-3355 RECEIVED March 7,2020 MAK 0 y 2020 COW1UNITY 8 ECONOr,11C OEVELOPtIENT Mr.Jacob Gonzalez City of Pasco 525 North Third Avenue Pasco WA 99301 Re:Notice of Public Hearing—Urban Growth Area Expansion Dear Jacob: This letter is on behalf of the Thanksgiving Limited Partnership (TLP). As Managing Partner, I ask that staff and the planning commission,reconsider the current Urban Growth Boundary to include all of the TLP property,as previously approved in Resolution 3845 dated June 18,2018. TLP is an entity comprised of Tippett family siblings. The Tippett family has been real estate investors in the City of Pasco since the 1970's. TLP owns+/- 140 acres of land immediately adjacent to City limits, and immediately north of 160 acres recently purchased by the Confederate Tribes of the Colville Reservation. The westerly property boundary (approximately 2,000 lineal feet) fronts Capital Avenue. The land is currently zoned AP-20 and Rural Residential 5 Acre Tracts. Capital Avenue is a fully developed public road that was funded by President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. It has been the partners understanding that the Capital Avenue project was intended to serve as stimulus for industrial development in the City. In 2016-2017,TO became aware of the need for a community soccer complex in the City. The partnership had an idea that would involve the City developing a community soccer complex,which would also act as a buffer between our residential neighbors to the north,and any future commercial/industrial development to the south. After a series of positive meetings with City Parks, City Planning, and City Management, the City provided the partnership with a preliminary design for the complex (see attached soccer complex design). After obtaining approval from the neighbors,the partnership then provided the City with a proposal to sell+/-30 acres of land zoned rural residential 5 acre tracts,which included a portion of the water right,and a shared interest in the irrigation well (see attached Sale Proposal dated September 7,2017). The proposal was well received by the City. The partnership per the advice of both,the City, and the County met with the neighbors to discuss the nature of a soccer complex next door to them. The general consensus from the neighbors was that they would find it an acceptable use. The partnership then applied to have 120 acres included in the UGB. The application was approved by the planning commission in Resolution 3845(as shown below). Mr.Jacob Gonzalez Page 2 of 4 March 9,2020 F—Resolution 3845 Exhibit #1 'f a TLP-120 acres N s PASCO UGA (2018) l The commitment made by TO to the City was to develop the property as follows: k TLP-120 acres 4 + ` In the most recent Notice of Public Hearing,the City unexpectedly announced that the UGB had been modified to include only 40 of the original 120 TO acres proposed to be in the UGB(as shown below). Mr.Jacob Gonzalez Page 3 of 4 March 9,2020 ®RAFT Proposed Urban Growth Area �,t> i! neo TO-120 acres Y Q)""Urbnn Cyv A Y .rw car Ofsti,.w.an• 4M RC(f:AGl Urban G-.1hA/!A u,r�.uwa.^aw•olc�++ We have come to understand that over time the City's interest in a soccer complex at this location has waned due to acquisition of land on A Street(to our knowledge this site has no irrigation source or water rights). While TLP respects the City's decision to shift its focus elsewhere,the partners do not want to give up on the notion of a soccer complex as a land use buffer between its neighbors, and are in the process of obtaining costs to develop a soccer complex as a family legacy project. Furthermore, per RCW 36.70A.110,the TLP property is postured to utilize existing sewer and water infrastructure available in Capital Avenue. To include the sewer lift station installed for the AutoZone project,which we understand was adequately sized to accomodate the TLP property. RCW 36.70A.110 Paragraph(3)Urban growth should be located first in areas already characterized by urban growth that have adequate existing public facility and service capacities to serve such development,second in areas already characterized by urban growth that will be served adequately by a combination of both existing public facilities and services and any additional needed public facilities and services that are provided by either public or private sources, and third in the remaining portions of the urban growth areas. Urban growth may also be located in designated new fully contained communities as defined by RCW 36.70A.350. It also satisfies a City planning goal as defined in Appendix III of the City's Comprehensive Plan, under the heading Growth Management Mandate, which states "Encourage development of urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner". Over the years TLP has worked diligently and intelligently on how to develop this property. It appears as though all this effort has somehow been lost in the process. TLP remains committed to develop the property as described above. Therefore, I ask again that staff and the planning commission reconsider the current UGB to include all 120 TLP acres. Mr.Jacob Gonzalez Page 4 of 4 March 9,2020 I'd like to thank the Planning Commission for its service to the citizens of Pasco, and for giving this matter ample consideration, and lastly,I apologize that I cannot be at the hearing in person to deliver this message.

The proposed new Future Land Use Map, without specific notice to our client and without notice being republished or recirculated in accordance with SEPA and GMA mandates, now proposes to designate an approximately 30-acre portion of the Property (highlighted in red on the attached Future Land Use Map) as "Commercial" rather than Low Density Residential property as originally proposed. Our clients are opposed to the proposed Commercial designation and believe that such a designation is contrary to the goals of the state's Growth Management Act, would be a clearly erroneous land use designation and is being proposed without adequate public notice and without consideration of the as-built environment. Our clients would request that the entire 80-acre Property within the City's proposed UGA remain designated Low Density Residential as originally proposed for the reasons set forth below. Please consider this letter a specific and continuing request for special notice of all maps, recommendations, hearings and meetings relating to the City's UGA expansion requests, including those relating to the Property. The Olberding Property Should Remain Designated Low Density Residential and The City's Proposed Commercial Designation Cannot be Supported. A. Notice of the proposed map change has not been properly given.. The proposed draft, October 2019 Future Land Use Map proposed by the City was not properly published and circulated to affected property owners as required by applicable law. Washington law is clear that county or city actions to change an amendment to a comprehensive plan triggers the statutory mandate for public review and comment and robust public participation. RCW 36.70A.035; also see, e.g. Spokane County v. E. Wash Growth Mgmt. Hr'gs Bd., 188 Wn. App. 467, 353 P3d. 680 (2015). While apparently on the last Planning Commission meeting agenda for Thursday, March 19, 2020 as item VII C (Urban Growth Area (MF# CPA 2020-001)), our clients did not receive notice of the change from a residential to a commercial designation in time to provide written comments. While Big Sky Developers' engineering representative, Caleb Stromstad attended the meeting, he noted that options for public comment were extremely limited. There were only a few people in attendance. Comments were limited to two minutes and City of Pasco Community Development Department Attn: Rick White and/or Jacob Gonzalez City of Pasco Planning Commission Attn: Tanya Bowers, Chairperson May 14, 2020 Page 3 the meeting occurred at the beginning of the social distancing requirements of the pandemic, making public participation limited. At the meeting, Mr. Stromstad recommended that the commercial designation be removed and was told that the proposed UGA modifications (Alternative Number 3) was in draft from only and that additional opportunities for public and property owner comment would be provided. Our clients' position is that the March 19 Planning Commission meeting did not meet the public participation requirements of the Growth Management Act and SEPA as applied to any material modifications to the Future Land Use Map. This letter and the attachments should be considered our clients' additional comments to be made part of the record without in any way waiving or limiting their right to supplement the record with additional written materials or in-person testimony at future Planning Commission meetings. B. The City's proposed Commercial designation cannot be supported. As an initial matter, the property owner and developer (Big Sky) both strongly support the City's inclusion of the Property within the City's new UGA. This is not in dispute. Our clients simply believe that based on GMA goals, the as-built environment and practical considerations, that an island of commercially-designated property is not needed and cannot be supported along Burns Road in the southwest portion of the Property. First, there is absolutely no evidence in the record that the City of Pasco's inventory of commercially-designated and zoned property is inadequate. As a practical and legal matter, commercially-designated and zoned property should be located in and along established commercial corridors where commercial property and development already exists, such as along Road 68 or Broadmoor Boulevard. Our clients believe that the commercial designation proposed without notice to the owners or without any support on the record, violates one or more of the State's GMA planning goals including but not limited to the following: (1) It fails to encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. RCW 36.70A.020(1). (2) It fails to encourage efficient transportation systems coordinated with County and City Comprehensive Plans. RCW 36.70A.020 (3). (3) It fails to promote the retention or expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses, and fails to encourage such growth where public services and facilities are available. RCW 36.70A.020 (5). City of Pasco Community Development Department Attn: Rick White and/or Jacob Gonzalez City of Pasco Planning Commission Attn: Tanya Bowers, Chairperson May 14, 2020 Page 4 (4) It fails to protect the property rights of landowners from arbitrary and discriminatory actions. RCW 36.70A.020 (6). (5) It fails to ensure that public facilities and services necessary to support the commercial development will be adequate. RCW 36.70A.020 (12). Simply stated, the proposed small island of commercially-designated property is an illegal spot zone that violates the GMA goals set forth above. The current as-built environment and practical considerations also make this site completely unsuitable for commercial development in the next 20 years. There is a large BPA power line on the west side of the Property which would be inconsistent with most commercial development, and which is a BPA main trunk line that cannot be moved. The 80-acres immediately east of the Property recently has been sold to the Pasco School District for a future high school site, which use would be inconsistent with any type of more intensive commercial use. Last and most importantly, the entire area (north, south, east and west) is designated Low Density Residential and already supports significant low-density residential development. The owners and developers are aware of no City or County property owner that supports a 30-acre island of commercial property in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Finally, Burns Road is not a commercial collector arterial and is inadequate to handle any type of commercial traffic. Burns Road does not even have the needed right-of-way and is not connected west, to Road 68. GMA mandates recognize that urban growth should first occur in areas already characterized by urban growth that have adequate existing public facilities and capacities to serve the development. RCW 36.70A.110(3). Homeowners do not want the additional traffic from commercial development, and Burns Road would be inadequate to handle any significant amounts of commercial traffic and is not scheduled for improvement on the City's or County's 6-year road improvement plan. If the City of Pasco believes it needs more commercially-designated and zoned land within its UGA, this is not the place for it. Based on the comments submitted to date, it appears the primary demand for Pasco's UGA is for additional residential property to support its documented population growth. All the City's proposed Commercial designation does in this instance is take 30 acres of prime residential development property out of its urban growth area, where significant residential development already is occurring. There is no evidence of a demand for additional commercial property in this area and even if there was, as set forth above, infrastructure won't support it. A simple review of the proposed Future Land Use Map shows this small 30-acre Commercial designation to be in effect an illegal spot zone City of Pasco Community Development Department Attn: Rick White and/or Jacob Gonzalez City of Pasco Planning Commission Attn: Tanya Bowers, Chairperson May 14, 2020 Page 5 inconsistent with the surrounding community. In north Pasco, commercially-designated properties should remain around established commercial collector arterials such as Broadmoor Boulevard and Road 68 and should not be located in isolated residential communities. Conclusion For the above stated reasons, the property owner and developer request that the City's proposed Future Land Use Map be modified to remove the Commercial designation on the Olberding property. Our office is confident that after proper public comment and consideration of this letter and additional testimony that there will be no basis to include a commercial designation on the Olberding property. To insist on such a designation without legal support would be arbitrary and capricious conduct in violation of applicable GMA planning goals.

Futurewise works throughout Washington State on the implementation of the Growth Management Act (GMA). We work with local communities to support land-use policies that encourage healthy, equitable and opportunity-rich communities, and that protect our most valuable farmlands, forests and water resources. We have members across Washington State including in the City of Pasco. We have been following and commenting on the City of Pasco Urban Growth Area Expansion proposals since 2018. In our letter of August 31, 2018, to the Franklin County Planning Commission, CPA 2018-03, on the proposed City of Pasco UGA expansion, we discussed why Washington has Urban Growth Areas: To Save Taxpayers and Ratepayers Money The Growth Management Act (GMA)requires urban growth areas and limits their size for many reasons. One of the most important is that compact Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) save taxpayers and ratepayers money. In a study published in a peer reviewed journal, John Carruthers and Gurminder Ulfarsson analyzed urban areas throughout the United States including Franklin County.'They found that the per capita costs of most public services declined with density and increased where urban areas were large.' Compact urban growth areas save taxpayers and ratepayers money. This study was published in a peer reviewed journal.

L1 ll'age To Conserve Water Long term Compact urban growth areas also help conserve water long-term. Large lots and low densities increase water demand, increase leakage from water systems,and increase costs to water system customers.3 So accommodating the same population in a right- sized UGA can reduce future water demands and costs.' To encourage growth In eklsttng titles and towns and to protect farmland Urban growth areas encourage housing growth in cities and protect rural and resource lands. To examine the effect of King County, Washington's urban growth areas on the timing of land development,Cunningham looked at real property data,property sales data, and geographic information systems (GIS) data.These records include 500,000 home sales and 163,000 parcels that had the potential to be developed from 1984 through 2001.5 Cunningham concluded that "[t]his paper presents compelling evidence that the enactment of a growth boundary reduced development in designated rural areas and increased construction in urban areas,which suggests that the Growth Management Act is achieving its intended effect of concentrating housing growth."6 He also concluded that by removing uncertainty as to the highest and best use of the land that it accelerated housing development in King County.'This study was published in a peer reviewed journal. Reducing development in rural areas and natural resource lands can also have significant environmental benefits, such as protecting water quality and working farms and forests. One of the most controversial issues related to urban growth areas is whether the restricted land supply causes increases in housing costs. Carruthers, in another peer reviewed study, examined the evidence for the Portland urban growth area and concluded that it was not increasing housing costs because the city's high-density zoning allowed the construction of an abundant housing supply.$ ' United States Environmental Protection Agency, Growing Toward More Ef ciew Nater Use:Linking Development, Inf,asrn-ucture, and Drinking Water Policies pp.3—5(EPA 230-R-06-001:January 2006).Accessed on Aug. 29,2018 at: titips: ��ww.epa.t o�'Smarttro�+th/�ro�+ink-toy+ard-more-efficient-��atcr-use 'Id. at p. 8.

In a peer reviewed study, Dawkins and Nelson found that the city of Yakima's share of the metropolitan housing market increased after adoption of the GMA.9 This and other measures showed that center cities in states with growth management laws attract greater shares of the metropolitan area's housing market than center cities in states without growth management aiding center city revitalization.10 This reduces the tendency to move out of existing center cities such as the City of Pasco. To encourage healthy lifestyles Urban growth areas promote healthy lifestyles.Aytur, Rodriguez, Evenson, and Catellier conducted a statistical analysis of leisure and transportation-related physical activity in 63 large metropolitan statistical areas, including Seattle,Tacoma, and Spokane from 1990 to 2002.11 Their peer reviewed study found a positive association between residents' leisure time physical activity and walking and bicycling to work and "strong" urban containment policies such as those in Washington State.12 Furthermore, in our August 2018 letter, we concurred with Franklin County and the Department of Commerce,that the expansion was oversized.We recommended that the UGA expansion request for 4500 acres be denied because the expansion would lead to the conversion of agricultural lands and adversely impact the operations and potential for expansion of the Tri-Cities Airport, negatively impacting the Tri-Cities economy. Our recommendations were that the gross acreage reflect a reasonable market supply factor, incorporate an estimate of the redevelopable land in the existing UGA, and include the full capacity of the West Pasco/Broadmoor Development Master Plan of over 8,000 housing units in the capacity calculations.13 (Higher densities can improve protection for water cluallty;[TT1J In addition to the reasons for having UGAs explained in our August 2018 letter, we want to point out the connection between water quality and land use. Higher densities help protect water quality.The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)modeled the impacts of lower density development covering a larger area compared to higher density development over a smaller area.The study concluded that: Casey J.

L1 � I' slitr Higher densities may better protect water quality—especially at the lot and watershed levels.To accommodate the same number of houses, denser developments consume less land than lower density developments. Consuming less land means creating less impervious cover in the watershed. EPA believes that increasing development densities is one strategy communities can use to minimize regional water quality impacts.14IA21 Futurewise obtained a grant earlier this year for a public education program and riparian demonstration site in Pasco. We are coordinating with City staff, local tribes, the Army Corp of Engineers, Washington State Fish and Wildlife, neighboring schools and community organizations to demonstrate the connection between land use and water quality and the impact on water quality, habitat, and cultural resources. Current constraints on gatherings due to the Coronavirus has resulted in delaying local events and habitat restoration projects until 2029. We will keep you updated on this project. Environmental Impact Statement Also attached is a copy of Futurewise's letter of November 8, 2018,to Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director. In this letter, we supported the City of Pasco's Determination of Significance and the development of an environmental impact statement(EIS) to consider the impacts of the Comprehensive Plan and Urban Growth Area expansion on the built and natural environment. Now that the Draft Environmental Impact Statement materials are available, we look forward to reviewing them and providing more detailed comment in June. When using a combined SEPA and GMA process the Final EIS must be done at the same time as the adoption of the GMA. WAC 197-11-230(5) provides that "[w]hen a draft integration GMA document includes a draft EIS, the final EIS and the adoption of the GMA document may occur together, notwithstanding the requirements of WAC 197-11-460(5)." Accommodating f=uture Growth Futurewise recognizes that Pasco is one of the fastest growing cities, per capita, in the state and we strongly support Pasco's work to explore opportunities to expand development within the existing UGA, including but not limited to, actions eligible for support under HB 1923. As Pasco moves forward with this comprehensive plan update we hope you will consider actions such as: • Allowing more homes in existing neighborhoods through backyard cottages, duplexes, triplexes, and courtyard apartments. • Retrofitting existing neighborhoods to be more walkable and have the densities and mix of zoning to support local businesses and more frequent transit in order to promote environmental and community health benefits and reduces traffic congestion.

We would like to offer our support in advocacy with the state to address barriers and costs related to annexing the 'donut hole' communities. These challenges are similar to those faced by unincorporated urban areas across the state. • Reinvesting in historic downtown Pasco. Additionally, we hope you will address our areas of concern such as: • We are concerned about the size of a 3,400-acre UGA expansion but need to review the land capacity analysis to determine if it is still too large like the 2018 proposal. • We are concerned about the loss of agricultural land of long-term commercial significance and if an expansion is needed, the city should consider alternatives expanding onto rural, non-agricultural land. • We are concerned about the UGA expansion at the end of in the airport and under the flight path both because of its impact on airport operations and future expansion capacity and because of the impact on future residents living below the flight path. • If an urban growth expansion is needed, determine how public facilities and services will be provided and funded. Will they be addressed in the updated transportation, capital facility, and utility elements?[TT3] Will taxpayers in existing Pasco neighborhoods end up subsidizing the public facilities and services in these new neighborhoods?

First,we suggest the dedications from the gross acreage be limited to a market supply factor. The courts and Growth Management Hearings Board have held that deductions beyond a market factor violate the GMA. As the Growth Management Hearings Board wrote "if the Legislature had wished for cities and counties to utilize such a variety of factors to adjust the available land supply ... it would have amended the GMA accordingly. ... This, the Legislature did not do and, therefore,by the GMA's own terms,a UGA may be adjusted only to reflect a reasonable land market supply factor."'3 In addition to the 20 percent market factor, the capacity estimates use a"[s]pecial 20 percent reduction to the `low density' category ..."16 This deduction in addition to the market factor is inconsistent with the GMA. It is also unneeded since the 20 percent market factor is at the high end of what the available data supports. Market factors are not rewired,but the GXLN allows the county to use a "reasonable" market factor.17 What a market factor does is allow a county to make an urban growth area larger than it needs to be. To determine their market factor, Snohomish County hired The Gilmore Research Group to survey owners with developable land and asked them the relevant'uestion when determining a market factor: if they would develop their land in the next twenty years.

The UGA should not be expanded onto agricultural lands of long-term commercial significance Agricultural land of long-term commercial significance cannot be included in a UGA unless it retains its designation and zoning and the county or city has adopted a transfer of development rights program for the land.27 If the City of Pasco wishes to convert the agricultural lands of long-term commercial significance to urban development, then the city must conduct a regional or areawide study showing the land no longer qualifies as agricultural land of long-term commercial significance. %X'AC 365-190-050(1) requires that in"designating agricultural resource lands, counties must approach the effort as a county-wide or area-wide process."WAC 365-190-040(10)(b) also requires "a county-wide or regional process"when amending designations of agricultural lands of long-term commercial significance. These%VACS are part of the "minimum guidelines that apply to all jurisdictions" and are to guide the designation of agricultural lands of long-term commercial significance.''-"When\VAC 365-190-050 uses mandatory language,local governments are required to use that provision.29 Based on these requirements, the Growth Management Hearings Board reversed a county de-designation of agricultural lands of long-term commercial significance to put the land in an urban growth area."The Board wrote: The Board considers Benton County's de-designation of agricultural lands for this small section of land,in isolation from a much larger County or area-wide study to be inappropriate and,by de-designating lands that qualify as agricultural lands of long term commercial significance, the County violated WAC 365-190-050 and corresponding GNIA sections RC\X'36.70A.030,RC\X'36.70A.050,and RC\X' 36.70A.170.i7 ''Summary of Request and Analysis on CPA 2018-03 the proposed Pasco UGA expansion p.4 footnote 6(8/24/2018 version).

Franklin County Planning Commission Subject: Comments on the proposed CPA 2018-03 (Pasco UGA expansion) August 31, 2018 Page 6 So,before the lands currently designated Agriculture in the Franklin Counts'Comprehensive Plan can be included in a UGA for residential and other urban uses, a regional or areawide dedesignation analysis must be prepared. We have reviewed every page of the City of Pasco's UGA expansion materials and a regional or areawide dedesignation analysis is not included. In our professional opinion we are skeptical that an objective a regional or areawide dedesignation analysis would support the dedesignation of these lands. If a complete land capacity analysis shows there is a need for a UGA expansion and given the omissions in the existing data documented above that is far from certain,we think the Stttnmag of Request and_4nalysit s recommendation to focus on rural designations and to consider increasing residential densities are smart recommendations.32 As it is now, the City of Pasco UGA expansion fails the requirements for dedesignating agricultural land and must be denied.33 The UGA should not be expanded into airport safety zones or in areas that limit future expansion of the Tri-Cities Airport RC\X'36.70A.510 and RC\X'36.70.547 require that"[e]very county,city,and town in which there is located a general aviation airport that is operated for the benefit of the general public,whether publicly owned or privately owned public use,shall,through its comprehensive plan and development regulations, discourage the siting of incompatible uses adjacent to such general aviation airport." The Tri-Cities Airport in Pasco is amajor economic asset for Franklin County.3+\�'e agree with the Washington State Department of Transportation Aviation Division that "that the proposed expansion,if approved in its current form, would allow incompatible development adjacent to the Airport and would impeded future development and extension of Runway 12/30."33 So the proposed Cita' of Pasco UGA expansion is inconsistent with RC\W 36.70A.510 and RC\W 36.70.547 and must be denied.

Futurewise works throughout Washington State on the implementation of the Growth Management Act (GMA). We work with local communities to support land-use policies that encourage healthy, equitable and opportunity-rich communities, and that protect our most valuable farmlands,forests and water resources. We have members across Washington State including the City of Pasco. We support the City of Pasco Determination of Significance and the development of an environmental impact statement(EIS)to consider the impacts of the Comprehensive Plan and Urban Growth Area expansion on the built and natural environment. We support Alternative 3 in the City of Pasco Scoping Notice: "Compact Growth Target:This alternative would allow for changes in the Plan to accommodate the 20- year population growth projection for Pasco allocated by the Office of Financial Management (OFM), and to capitalize on other development opportunities. In addition, alternative 3 will consider a growth pattern of higher density. It includes considering land use and policy changes to gain an increase in development capacity within the undeveloped and infill areas of the City. Under this alternative,the Urban Growth Area would be modified to the north of the City at a higher density/smaller area compared to Alternative 2 to accommodate future growth. It will consider land use and policy changes in order to maintain consistency with the GMA and the Countywide Planning Policies, and to accommodate growth." We believe the Environmental Impact Statement(EIS)will show that this alternative will accommodate projected population growth and result in the least adverse impacts on the built and natural environment.We offer our recommendations for topics to consider in the EIS. L image The EIS should analyze impacts on affordable housing Housing is an element is an element of the environment.' Different alternatives may have different impacts on the affordable housing. For example, different alternatives may displace existing affordable housing which maybe a significant adverse impact that should be analyzed in the EIS. The EIS should analyze the impacts on fire services and fire safety measures Residential growth in the City of Pasco has increased the exposure of residents on the Wildland Urban Interface to wildfires.z Expanding the city onto agricultural and rural lands will increase this expose. Fire services are an element of the environment.3 The impacts of the alternatives and UGA expansion on community fire safety must be analyzed in the Draft EIS and mitigation measures identified such as: directing growth away from areas with a moderate to high wildfire threat leve 1.4 Another potential mitigating measure would be to require new developments to meet Firewise Communities Program standards or the equivalent. The changing climate will also increase wildfires in the West including the City of Pasco. A recent peer- reviewed study showed that human caused global warming has made wildfire fuels drier and caused an increase in the area burnt by wildfires between 1984 and 2015.5 Global warming's drying of wildfire fuels is projected to increasingly promote wildfire potential across the western US.'The area of this increase in drying fuels includes the City of Pasco.' The EIS should analyze the impacts on transportation Transportation systems,vehicular traffic,the movement and circulation of people or goods, and traffic hazards are elements of the environment.$Air traffic is also an element of the environment.9 The comprehensive plan and the urban growth area expansion has the potential to increase vehicle miles traveled and to increase traffic hazards. In addition,the urban growth area expansion will adversely impact the operations and expansion potential of the Tri-Cities Airport.The EIS should analyze the adverse impacts on the transportation system, including motor vehicles, air transportation,transit,walking, bicycling, and transportation safety. As required by RCW 36.70A.070(6)(iii), impacts on the state highway system should also be analyzed. The EIS should analyze the impacts on historic, cultural, and archaeological resources Historic and cultural preservation are elements of the environment.10 The Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation has developed an archaeological predictive model that can predict where archaeological resources, a type of cultural resource, are likely to be located and where the department recommends archaeological surveys should be completed before earth disturbing activities and other uses and activities that can damage archaeological sites are undertaken."The predictive model shows that Pasco and WAC 197-11-444(2)(b)(ii).

The EIS should analyze the impact on water resources Water including surface water movement,quantity and quality, runoff and absorption,groundwater movement, quantity, and quality, and public water supplies are all elements of the environment.13 Water conservation and focusing growth into existing cities and towns can stretch water supplies and accommodate growth and it is important to reserve water for agriculture and value-added agricultural processing and manufacturing to maintain and enhance the county economy.14 The development authorized by the comprehensive plan and the urban growth area expansions can adversely affect water and increase water use and runoff.This is a probable adverse impact on the elements of the environment s and should be analyzed in the EIS. The EIS should analyze the impacts on air quality and greenhouse gas emissions Air quality is an element of the environment.15 Elevated ozone level averages in the Tri-Cities for 2015 through 2017 exceeded the federal regulatory limit which could trigger sanctions from the Environmental Protection Agency.As a result, a joint study was conducted with the Department of Ecology, Washington State University, and Benton Air Authority,the Tri-Cities Ozone Precursor Study(T-COPS).The study found that elevated ozone levels are not caused by one source and that traffic emissions are a major source of air pollutants in the Tri- Cities16. Particulate matter from vehicle emissions,fires, and blowing dust contribute to unhealthy air quality that increase symptoms of asthma and heart disease.Weather,topography and wind directions contribute to high-levels of ozone in the Tri-Cities. Expanding the urban growth boundary will likely increase vehicle miles travelled and emissions. Development will increase dust. These are all probable adverse impacts on elements of the environment and should be analyzed in the EIS. Climate is also an element of the environment.''Washington State enacted limits on greenhouse gas emissions and a statewide goal to reduce annual per capita vehicle miles traveled for light-duty vehicles. Comprehensive planning is one way to address both the reduction of greenhouse gases and vehicle miles traveled.Almost half of all greenhouse gas emissions in our state result from the transportation sector. Land use and transportation strategies that promote compact and mixed-use development and infill reduce the need to drive, reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions."Expanding the urban growth boundary will likely increase vehicle miles travelled and emissions.These are all probable adverse impacts on climate,an element of the environment, and should be analyzed in the EIS. Additionally,the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)found that state and local governments can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions through land and materials management practices such as materials efficiency, industrial ecology,green design, land revitalization, sustainable consumption, smart 12 Id. 13 WAC 197-11-444(1)(c). 14 United States Environmental Protection Agency, Growing Toward More Efficient Water Use:Linking Development, Infrastructure, and Drinking Water-Policies pp.3—5,p.8(EPA 230-R-06-001:January 2006)accessed on Nov. 7,2018 at:https://www.el2a.rov/smartgrowth/growing-toward-more-efficient-water-use. 15 WAC 197-11-444(1)(b)(i).

The EIS should analyze the impacts on agricultural and rural land The relationship to existing land use plans is an element of the environment.20 The area proposed to be included in the urban growth area includes designated agricultural lands of long-term commercial significance and rural lands. Converting these lands to urban development will be significant adverse impacts that should be analyzed in the EIS. The EIS should analyze the impacts on priority habitats and species The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife lists priority species and habitats and provides technical assistance on the designation and protection of these habitats. Plants and animals, habitats for and numbers or diversity of species of plants,fish,or other wildlife, unique species, and fish or wildlife migration routes are all elements of the environment.21 The conversion of agricultural and rural land to urban development will adversely impact these habitats. The expansion of impervious surfaces will also harm aquatic habitats. These adverse impacts on these elements of the environment should be analyzed in the EIS. The designation and conservation of priority habitats and species are important to residents who hunt,fish, and view wildlife. Outdoor recreation is estimated to contribute$81,959,000 to the Franklin County economy, generating 1,114 jobs and paying$5,942,000 in state and local taxes.22 Protecting fish and wildlife habitats and rivers and streams will help maintain the economic benefits of outdoor recreation for Franklin County. The EIS must analyze the impacts on native plants Native plants of the Columbia Basin have ecological,aesthetic,and historical value. The Benton-Franklin Conservation District Heritage Gardens of the Columbia Basin and Washington Native Plant Society educate the public on the value of native plants and help prevent the conversion and degradation of these local resources and wildlife habitat. "Unconverted areas are threatened by a negative feedback loop that combines disturbance, invasion of noxious weeds and more frequent fires. When fragile soils are disturbed and cryptobiotic soil crusts are removed,annual invasive species such as cheatgrass become established."2'The communities of native plants and wildlife that make up the iconic Columbia Basin shrubsteppe have been severely diminished. Today, less than 50%of Washington's historic shrubsteppe remains, and much of it is degraded,fragmented,and/or isolated from other similar habitats24. For these reasons,we support the protection of Fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas designated in the Department of Natural Resources Washington Natural Heritage Program for endangered,threatened, and sensitive plant species." 19 US Environmental Protection Agency,Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response,2009"Opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through materials and land use management practices," https://www.epa.2ov/sites/production/fi les/documents/eha-land-materials-mana2ement.odf 21 WAC 197-11-444(2)(b)(i). 21 WAC 197-11-444(1)(d). 22 Tania Briceno&Greg Schundler, Economic Analysis qf Outdoor Recreatiar in Washingtar State p. 83 (Earth Economics: 2015)accessed on April 5,2018 at: https://www.rco.wa.y-ov/documents/ORTF/EconomicAnalysisOutdoorRec.ndf 21 Washington Native Plant Society, https://www.wnps.orWecosystems/shrub-steppe last visited on October 23,2018. 21 Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation or Species and Ecosystems Science, https://wdfw.wa.eov/conservation/research/projects/shrubstepi)e/last visited November 2,2018. 25 Washington State department of Natural Resources relevant data set on Rare Plants and High Quality Ecosystems: http://datawadnr.opendata.arcpis.com/datasets'?group ids=266fDb3bdc014f5ab2a96ad4ea358a28 L41Payc Plants and habitats for and numbers or diversity of species of plants and unique species are all elements of the environment,"The conversion of agricultural and rural land to urban development will adversely impact these habitats.These adverse impacts on these elements of the environment should be analyzed in the EIS.

The Property originally was slated for inclusion in Pasco's proposed UGA expansion currently being considered by the City of Pasco ("City" or Pasco")and its Planning Commission as part of its required periodic review of its Comprehensive Plan. The City's original application that included the Kohler Property within its UGA was submitted to Franklin County and its Planning Commission under CPA 2018-03. Following limited public comment, the City apparently withdrew or modified its original UGA expansion application and has scoped three alternative proposals in a draft Environment Impact Statement (EIS) recently issued for its proposed UGA expansion; (1) "Alternative #1, a no-action alternative where the City's UGA remains the same; (2)"Alternative#2" based on OFM population growth estimates, which proposed a UGA expansion of 4,700 acres and would include the Kohler Property; and (3) "Alternative #3" which proposes a smaller UGA expansion of only 3,300 acres and would not include the Kohler Property. Our client strongly supports Alternative #2 or a modified Alternative #3 that would include the Kohler Property within the City's proposed UGA, The City's Alternative #3 which significantly reduced its original proposed UGA expansion is shown In a draft (updated) Future Land Use Map dated October 2019 attached as Exhibit B. Alternative #3 was developed without specific notice to our client and without the input of affected property owners, and without substantial input from the Pasco development community. Our client specifically requests that the Kohler Property be included in the City's proposed UGA expansion and that the Property be accepted by the County as part of the City's UGA for the reasons set forth in this letter. Inclusion of the Kohler Property into Pasco's UGA is consistent with the goals of the state's Growth Management Act, the City's stated Comprehensive Planning goals relating to housing and the as-built environment and available infrastructure. The Property's highest and best use is no longer commercial agriculture, and with our client's proposed City water and sewer extensions would allow urban level residential development needed by the City both on the Kohler Property itself and infill development in the surrounding area, and would allow such development to occur in a way that is protective of the environment. Please consider this letter a specific and continuing request for special notice of all maps, recommendations, hearings and meetings relating to the City's UGA expansion requests, including those directly relating the Kohler Property and the City's evaluation of the three UGA alternatives set forth in its EIS issued in draft form on May 15, 2020. The Kohler Property Should be Included in Pasco's UGA and Should be Designated Low Density Residential Under its Comprehensive Plan. A. Notice of the new proposed mag change and draft EIS has not been properly given. The proposed draft, October 2019 Future Land Use Map proposed by the City (which provided the basis for "Alternative #3" in the draft EIS) was not properly published and circulated to affected property owners as required by applicable law. In fact, the proposal appears to have been developed by the City or its Planning Staff without any input from affected property owners or the development community in a way to ensure that property proposed for inclusion in its UGA is actually able to be developed for urban level growth. May 20, 2020 Page 3 Washington law is clear that county or city actions to change an amendment to a comprehensive plan triggers a statutory mandate for SEPA compliance, for public review and comment and robust public participation. RCW 36.70A.035. While apparently on prior Planning Commission meeting agendas, our client did not receive notice of the change in the City's proposed UGA which excluded the Kohler Property, and it was not allowed to provide any input on what the City now refers to as Alternative#3 in the draft EIS. Our client's position is that prior Planning Commission meetings, including the one that occurred on March 19, did not meet the public participation requirements of the Growth Management Act and SEPA as applied to the development of Alternative#3 and any material modifications to the City's Future Land Use Map. If the City is starting over with the SEPA process (which legally must be completed before any formal government action), our client believes Alternative #2 is consistent with GMA goals and mandates and/or that minor modifications to Alternative #3 to include the Kohler Property would be appropriate. Please consider this letter and the attachments as our client's additional comments to be made part of the record on the City's proposed UGA expansion application and/or alternatives in its draft EIS, without in any way waiving or limiting its right to supplement the record with additional written materials or in-person testimony at future Planning Commission or Council meetings. B. The Kohler Property should be included within the City's proposed expanded UGA. The Property owner Debra Kohler and the developer, Big Sky both strongly support the inclusion of the Property within the City's new UGA. The Property is located immediately adjacent to the City's existing UGA overlooking the Columbia River, is designated primarily Rural Shoreline Development under the County's Comprehensive Plan and is zoned RC-1 and AP-20. Urban level residential development already exists north and south of the proposed Property. Under the County's zoning ordinance and Comprehensive Plan, the Property can be residentially developed at 1-acre densities with onsite wells and sewage systems. The owner no longer believes use of the Property for agricultural purposes is warranted. With our client's proposed City water and sewer extensions consistent with the maps attached as Exhibit C, urban level residential development at slightly increased densities protective of the environment would be allowed. As the City recognized when originally submitting its UGA expansion application (now Alternative #2), an expanded UGA of up to 4,700 acres was warranted by OFM population growth projections. Inclusion of this Property (whether in Alternative #2 or a modified Alternative#3) is strongly supported by both GMA and the City's own Comprehensive Plan planning goals. Washington's GMA generally recognizes that urban growth areas and urban growth should encompass areas first already characterized by urban growth that have adequate existing public facilities and service capacities, and second in areas already characterized by urban growth that will be served by existing and additional public facilities and services. RCW 36.70A.110(3). In this case, the Kohler Property would be ideal to be included within the City's UGA because urban growth already exists Immediately south of the Property and all local access and urban collector roads are in place or would be available to be extended to the Property. Most importantly,our client's proposed sewer and water extensions would allow additional infill development and the Property itself to be developed in an environmentally responsible way (without onsite septic systems near the Columbia River and significantly reducing the need to use onsite wells and groundwater). i May 20, 2020 Page 4 Most of the Property is not designated or suitable as agricultural lands of long-term commercial significance, and the Property owner is in the process of terminating all agricultural operations due to economic conditions. The Property contains view lots overlooking the Columbia River which would support a significant continuing demand for high- quality residential development in the area. Unlike many other properties the City proposes to include within its UGA, the Kohler Property is ready to be developed now. Inclusion of the Kohler Property into the City's UGA also is consistent with multiple state GMA planning goals including but not limited to the following: (1) It encourages development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. RCW 36.70A.020(1). (2) It encourages efficient transportation systems coordinated with County and City Comprehensive Plans. RCW 36.70A.020(3). (3) It encourages economic developments consistent with adopted Comprehensive Plans and encourages growth in areas already experiencing economic growth where public services and facilities can be provided.

The Kohler Property simply should not be a casualty of any new City-proposed UGA reduction or modification. It consists of property the owner and developer are ready to develop now. It does not contain enough sustainable agricultural lands and is likely to get developed at urban levels whether inside the City's UGA or outside of it in the County. UGA inclusion increases the likelihood that it will be done with City water and sewer which is more protective of the environment and which would allow infill development to occur. Inclusion of the Kohler Property also is entirely consistent with many specific goals and policies of the Land Use elements of the City's draft Comprehensive Plan (02-24-2020), especially those in its housing element. Specifically, it meets the proposed land use goal to plan for a variety of compatible land uses within the City's urban growth area which includes a specific policy to ensure that adequate public services are provided within a reasonable time frame. LU-2-C. Our client's proposed sewer and water extension as well as the extension of nearby access roads would allow the Kohler Property as well as properties already in the UGA to be responsibly developed. In addition, proposed policy LU-2-17 discourages developments dependent on septic systems and at densities below minimums to sustain urban level services. LU-2-F.

As managing partner I ask again that staff and the planning commission, reconsider the current Urban Growth Boundary to include all or most of the TLP property, as previously approved in Resolution 3845 dated June 18, 2018. In a letter sent to staff dated March 7, 2020,TLP provided a brief history and explanation behind why application was made to include this property in the UGA. Furthermore,the letter emphasized that the City was involved in this effort every step of the way. Lastly,the letter highlighted this property's proximity to utilities installed during the Obama administration using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds that were intended to stimulate economic development. The March 7, 2020, letter was brought up during the March 21,2020 Planning Commission Meeting, but in our opinion not adequately discussed. As a follow up to the March 7, 2020 letter,we would like to present the planning commission with a timeline to show how long TLP has been working with the City on this, and to bring up a second concern. TIMELINE: 2011 The notion of a soccer complex as an industrial buffer was first discussed with the City. TLP submitted a proposal to the City on June 20, 2011. 2012 Per the advice of the City,the notion of a soccer complex as a buffer for future industrial growth heading north was discussed with the neighbors and Rick Terway from the City participated in the discussion. 2013 The City provided TLP an initial design of the soccer complex and how the City intended to manage the complex was discussed with the neighbors. 2014 The City still recognized the soccer complex as a good buffer solution but was trying to figure out how to fund a purchase. Page 1 of 3 2015 The City's interest in acquiring the land was halted but discussion for inclusion in the UGA continued. 2016 The City reignited its interest in the land for a soccer complex and particularly the notion of buying the well and water rights. 2017 In coordination with David McDonald,TLP made application for 120 acres to be included in the UGB that involved a smaller scale soccer complex,and a TLP commitment to the neighbors that the remaining land be zoned C-3 upon annexation. TLP submitted a new proposal to the City on September 7, 2016 to reflect all of this. 2018 In June, inclusion of the 120 TLP acres was approved by resolution. As late as October 16, 2020;TLP met with Stan Strebel,Steve Worley,and Zach Ratikai to discuss grant funding,timing of the sale,water rights and a mechanism for the City to own the well. TLP engaged Dr. Darryl]Olsen,and the City engaged Nancy Aldridge to provide expert opinions on the current status of the water right. 2019 In March TLP was notified with no prior discussion that the UGB had been revised to include only 40 aces of the 120 acres originally approved in Resolution 3845. It is troubling that after all this effort TLP was not informed of the decision to exclude 80 acres of the property. Lastly,the 40 acres of TLP property proposed to be included is half of an 80 acre tax parcel(#113-130- 415). This would require TLP to create and or preserve a long/costly legal access from Capital Avenue through the included 40 acres. It is TLP's opinion that dissecting the tax parcel with a UGA boundary has the potential to complicate how the property can be sold/developed in the future. TLP requests that the City re-consider including the entire 80 acre tax parcel in the UGA for this reason. F UGA BOUNDARY INCLUDEDEXCLUDED PARCEL aps i (40 ac.) (40 ac.) (113-130-415) Page 2 of 3 This letter is to remind the planning commission that TLP has been working in good faith with the City for a long time on this solution.

As you are aware, the City of Pasco lies within the traditional territories of the Palus Tribe, one of the constituent tribes of the CTCR. Unfortunately, the DEIS does not reflect this fact. We respectfully offer the following proposed language changes to Section 4.11.1, Affected Environment, to better reflect the history of the Palus Tribe and the CTCR in the City of Pasco: • Pasco Cultural History, Paragraph 4 (page 54): Please strike the following language: "Pasco is in the traditional territory of the Yakama Nation, a Sahaptin-speaking Plateau people (Walker 1998). Wanapum and Walla Walla people also used the area (Kersher 2008)." We offer the following language as a substitute: "Pasco is in the traditional territory of the Palus tribe, a constituent tribe of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. It is also in the 1855 ceded lands of the Yakama Nation, additionally the Wanapum Band of Priest Rapids and the Walla Walla tribe also utilized the area extensively. All are Sahaptin-speaking Plateau people." • Pasco Cultural History, Paragraph 8 (page 55): Please strike the following language: "Fourteen tribes and bands signed the Yakama Nation Treaty of 1855 that established the Yakama Indian Reservation (Yakima Nation Museum [YNM] 2011). The same year, the Walla Walla tribe signed the Treaty of Walla Walla, which established the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon, and many Walla Walla (and some Yakama) tribal members moved to there." Pagel of 2 • Pasco Cultural History, Paragraph 10 (page 55): Please amend the following sentence by adding the language in italics: "The general Tri-Cities region as a whole is within territory inhabited traditionally by Native people represented today by the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation,and the Wanapum Band of Priest Rapids. • Recorded Cultural Resources (page 55): Please amend the following sentence by adding the language in italics: Many archaeological sites,Native American traditional places, and historical structures related to the area's cultural history have been recorded in the City." • Previously Conducted Cultural Resource Review, Paragraph 3 (page 56): Please strike the following sentence "The 13 sites within the one-mile radius contain an array of litchis,shell,burials,irrigation pipes,and one was designated as a field camp". We offer the following language as a replacement: "Native American burials are identified within this radius." There are also archaeological shell deposits, irrigation features, and an archaeological camp. We are also providing the attached document, titled Palus in Tri-Cities, for your information and review. While the information provided therein is not for public dissemination, members of City government and their staff will find it helpful in learning the history of the Palus Tribe in Pasco. We thank you for your careful attention to ensuring that this history is accurately represented in all City documents.

Our clients are and continue to be opposed to the suggestion by City Staff and its consultants that there should be a 30-acre commercial development in the middle of a low-density residential area next to a future school site. Our clients continue to request that the entire 80-acre parcel of property within the City's proposed UGA (as shown on the attached Future Land Use Map) remain designated Low Density Residential and not Commercial as proposed by Staff. This could be legally accomplished by a small modification to Alternative #3 in the DEIS, or by recommending Alternative#2. Summary of Planning Commission Testimony At the virtual Planning Commission meeting on May 21, 2020, our client opposed the proposed Commercial designation on a portion of prime residential property north of Burns Road. As an initial matter,this office and our client is concerned about the Planning Commission's practice of limiting public comments on the City's UGA to 3 minutes. We believe this violates the spirit and intent of the GMA which is"early and continuous"public participation in the process. RCW 36.70A.140. While time constraints are at times practically needed based on the amount of persons participating, changes to Pasco's UGA being considered by the Planning Commission is not one of them. Other than Staff, j the last few Planning Commission meetings have had less than 10 persons commenting j on how the City's chosen alternative impacts their properties. The Planning Commission should not be a rubber stamp for the recommendations of Planning Staff and should allow interested parties, property owners and their agents to fully express their concerns. The Planning Commission and City as a legal matter should not have held hearings on Comprehensive Plan Amendment Alternative #3 until the comment period on the DEIS had expired. It is axiomatic under SEPA that governmental action should not be taken or finalized until the impacts of any proposal are complete. Alternative#3, which included a smaller UGA boundary and different designations was not finally developed until the DEIS was published on May 15, 2020. However, it was presented and discussed by City Staff, without specific notice to our client in prior Planning Commission hearings. At the hearing, this office and numerous client representatives credibly testified that (1) + the Property owner or builder/developer associations were not contacted about the significant changes between Alternative #2 and #3, (2) there is no demand or support for a commercial island on 30 acres of our clients' property, (3) the Property could not be economically developed for commercial use, and (4) a Commercial designation is inconsistent with GMA goals. Based on this record, our clients request that the Commercial designation be removed and that its 80-acre parcel continue to be designated as Low Density Residential. i June 10, 2020 Page 3 Notice of the New Commercial Designation Affecting Only the Olberding Property was not Properly Given. On behalf of our client, we reiterate and would like to stress that prior to publishing the DEIS, our clients were not provided the legal notices required by due process and the GMA. Under the GMA, local governments are required to provide both "early and continuous public participation in the development and amendment of comprehensive land use pans" (RCW 36.70A.140); and the notice provided must be "reasonably calculated to provide notice to property owners and others affected . . ." (RCW 36.70A,035). Courts have recognized that where governmental actions (which include comprehensive plan amendments) exceptionally affect a single identifiable property or property owner, specific owner notice is needed. In this case, it would be impossible for the City to argue that a 30-acre Commercial designation affecting only Fred Olberding's property in affect precluding residential development, would not have required specific notice to the property owner. See, e.g., Chevron v. Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board, 56 Wash.2d 131, 138 (2005). We would hope in light of the notice defect, that both City Staff and Planning Commission (and ultimately the Pasco City Council and County Commissioners) would seriously consider our clients' objections to having a portion of its Property north of Burns Road arbitrarily designated for commercial use. Through these comments on the DEIS, we would hope that the Planning Commission would consider recommending a relatively minor change to Alternative #3 to delete the Commercial designation before its final recommendation is submitted to City Council. The Proposed Commercial Designation is Illegal and Violates GMA Our office could find no factual support for 30 acres of Commercial-designated property in the middle of a residential neighborhood. From comments made by Staff, it appears the additional commercial designation may have been recommended by a consultant and may in part be based on a misplaced attempt to artificially distribute traffic in the City's UGA. Proposing an island of commercial property in the middle of a residential neighborhood to distribute traffic is a classic case of "the tail wagging the dog". Under GMA and sound planning, traffic and capital facilities should be analyzed based on actual and planned future growth, not based on artificial changes to the City's land use designations or maps, Commercial development should occur along commercial roads and corridors. The City shouldn't designate residential property as Commercial, and then hope traffic patterns will change. On our client's property there is only a demand and potential for residential development, not commercial development. The Washington courts have recognized that City attempts to change its UGAs or Land Use Maps without public participation and factual support will not be upheld. See, e.g,, Spokane County v. Eastern Washington Growth Management Hearings Board, 188 Wash.App.467, 493 (2015). In the present case, the only testimony of record is that roads in the area of our clients' property would not be sufficient for The Planning Commission, and Other GMA Decision Makers Clearly Have the Power to Modify Alternative #3 "No alternative should be considered definitive. This will allow decision makers, with input from residents, the opportunity to incorporate the better features of each alternative (if appropriate) into a recommended Plan." e,g., Holbrook v. Clark County, Brinnon Group v. Jefferson County, Conclusion June 10, 2020 Page 5 Alternative #3 as set forth in the DEIS, that it does so with a recommendation that the Commercial designation on the Olberding Property be removed.

Fickes MEF/jk t MEMORANDUM TO PLANNING COMMISSION City-1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Pasco City Hall — 525 North Third Avenue—Council Chambers DATE: THURSDAY, June 18, 2020 6:00 PM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Jacob B, Gonzalez, Senior Planner SUBJECT: MF# CPA 2020-002 — Comprehensive Plan Update Background Comprehensive Plans are the foundation of local planning efforts. They provide a series of goals, policies and implementation strategies that are intended to guide the day-to-day decisions for City staff and elected leaders. One of the primary benefits of long-range, comprehensive planning is that it allows us to manage growth by choice and design, and not by chance. A proactive approach to planning ensures that considerations for the needs of the community, infrastructure, budget and economic development are included. Cities and Counties planning under the Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A) are required to conduct a review of their Comprehensive Plans every eight years. The GMA also requires that each Comprehensive Plan provide information on the following elements (RCW 36.70A.070): • Land Use • Housing • Utilities • Transportation • Economic Development • Parks and Recreation In addition to the required elements, Pasco's Comprehensive Plan will also include specific chapters (elements) on Capital Facilities, Public Services, Non-City Utilities and Resource Lands and Critical Areas/Shorelines. Pasco adopted its first Comprehensive Plan in 1995, and the last major update occurred in 2008. The major update to the Comprehensive Plan will provide a framework and vision for the City through the year 2038. The Draft Comprehensive Plan (Volumes 1 & 2), appendices and Draft Environmental Impact Statement of the Plan are available online: City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan Staff has prepared a presentation for the Planning Commission. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Commission accept public comments on Comprehensive Plan and continue the public hearing to the July 1611, 2020 Planning Commission meeting. 1 MEMORANDUM TO PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 1�IPasco City Hall—525 North Third Avenue—Council Chambers p DATE: THURSDAY, JUNE 18th, 2020 6:00 PM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Jacob B. Gonzalez,Senior Planner SUBJECT: MF # CA2019-013 —Street Connectivity Background This is an updated report to the Planning Commission on the ongoing staff effort to address transportation accessibility, connectivity and mobility opportunities for the residents and businesses of Pasco. To date, the Planning Commission has held three workshops (December 2019 and March/May 2020). As identified in prior staff reports, the proposed amendments (below) was to implement long established Pasco City Council, Comprehensive Planning and adopted plans/studies of the City. The current development of the Transportation System Master Plan (our first), identified very early on in the existing conditions that street connectivity was a constraint on our transportation system. Existing System Connectivity In Central and Downtown Pasco, the existing roadway network is arranged largely oriented on the traditional grid system which establishes a system of arterial and collector streets. Within this area, the existing functional classification system establishes standard urban arterial and collector streets that distribute traffic to/from neighborhoods,commercial areas and travel corridors. The roadways system in areas outside have more limited opportunities for developing an arterial and collector street system (as mentioned above). The road network is constrained by the development patterns north of Interstate 1-182 due to the due to longer block lengths and limited access points. South of 1-182,the constraints are due to prior platting practices that have often left streets that end in front of homes or structures where normally they should continue. Additionally, barriers are identified in 1-182 and the Franklin County Irrigation Canal, the Pasco/Tri-Cities Airport and other geographic/topographic features that prohibit a facilitated travel route for vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists. Draft Revisions The following draft set of revisions offer options for the Planning Commission to consider prior to a formal recommendation from staff is made. 1 Table 1: Draft Block Length/Perimeter Standards Scenario# Block Length Block Perimeter Comments Most restrictive, creates smaller, most Scenario 1 660' 1,400' compact block development patterns found in traditional neighborhoods Increased block length and perimeter will Scenario 2 660' 1,760' allow for additional lots while maintaining compact growth patterns found in traditional neighborhoods and cities Lengthier block lengths and perimeters Scenario 3 720' 1,880 increase lots within each block but begin to decrease benefit of walkable environments Least restrictive, while this option provides Scenario 4 800' 2,000' a standard for block length and perimeter the lengthy distances will decrease the intended benefit of the code amendment Next Steps: The City has received letters of support from the Washington State Department of Transportation, the Benton-Franklin Council of Governments and the City of Pasco Fire Department. Staff is seeking preliminary comments from the Planning Commission on the proposed draft revisions. A presentation has been prepared for discussion. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Commission accept public comments on the proposed code amendment and continue the public hearing to the July 16th, 2020 Planning Commission meeting. 2 AOL aa�aWashington State South Central Region rNOn Gap, Department of Trms,portation Unpo R Road P,WA 98903-1648 509-577-1600/FAX 509-577 1603 TTY.1-B00-833-6388 www.WSW wa 9ov May 28, 2020 RECEIVED .Jacob Gonzalez, Senior Planner MAY 2 8 2020 Community& Economic Development Department City of Pasco COMMUNITY g ECONOMIC DEVELOP61ENT 525 N 3rd Ave, Pasco, WA 99301 Re: Addressing Street Connectivity in Pasco Dear Jacob, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) supports the City of Pasco effort to update the Pasco Municipal Code to implement long established goals and policies of Pasco City Council, Comprehensive Plan, Bicycle&Pedestrian Plan and the upcoming Transportation System Master Plan. WSDOT agrees that this effort will create a more walkable,bikeable and safe environment for all travelers in the community. WSDOT supports a well-designed and connected transportation system that provide a variety of benefits for the community. They including: • Establishes reasonable use of other modes for transport(walking, biking) • Increased route choices can decrease the need for future roadway widening • In compliance with local, regional, state and federal multi-modal policies • Increased route directness for emergency responders An additional benefit to creating an integrated network of streets, that incorporate shorter blocks, will encourage access to transit and non-motorized modes of travel. With appropriate land uses, this effort will mitigate unnecessary levels of congestion on the local and state transportation systems. Sincerely, Paul Gonseth, P.E. SCR Planning Engineer PJG cc: File all 13A S('() FIRE DEPARTMENT (5091545-3426 Ext-I : F2. 1509):4s-439 To: Jacob Gonzalez,Senior Planner RECEIVED From: Robert Gear, Fire Chief=V---- Re: Proposed street design standards JUN 0 1 2020 Date: June 1, 2020 COMMUNITY& ECONOMIC DEVELOPtIENT Street design, width and connectivity affects the ability of emergency service vehicles to quickly respond to a fire or medical emergency. Emergency service providers and residents alike have an expectation that neighborhood streets provide adequate space and design for emergency vehicles to promptly reach their destination and for firefighters to efficiently setup and use their equipment. Fire equipment is large and fire departments do not have full discretion to simply"downsize"their vehicles. Efforts by some departments to do this have generally not been successful,because these smaller vehicles did not carry adequate supplies for many typical emergency events. The size of fire apparatus is determined in part, by federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration(OSHA)requirements and local service needs. As fire apparatus get larger,the ability to navigate narrow,winding or dead end streets decreases. In the design of residential neighborhoods we must pay more attention to connectivity and the ability to move from arterials to the residences in a timely manner. Regulations require that fire trucks carry considerable equipment and that firefighter's ride completely enclosed in the vehicle. In addition, to save money,fire departments buy multi-purpose vehicles that can respond to an emergency like a heart attack or a traffic accident,as well as a fire. These vehicles typically provide the first response to an emergency. An ambulance will then provide transport to a hospital, if needed. To accommodate the need to move the vehicles,and access equipment on them quickly,the Uniform Fire Code calls for a 20-foot wide clear passage. The risk of liability also raises concerns about response time and the amount of equipment carried on trucks. A successful lawsuit in West Linn, Oregon found that a response time of eight minutes was inadequate. The National Fire Protection Association,which is the national standard-setting body for the fire service,set a maximum four-minute response time for initial crews and eight-minute response for full crews and equipment for 90%of calls. The City of Pasco Council has a goal of 6 minutes of travel time to 90%of our calls. That does not include the call processing time of 1 to 2 minutes and the turnout times(wheels rolling)of 2 to 3 minutes. That puts our total response time in the 8 to 12 minute period. You can see from the map that the city struggles to meet the 6-minute travel goal. Fire departments have also been sued for not having the proper equipment at the scene of an accident. This puts pressure on departments to load all possible equipment onto a vehicle,and increases the need to use larger vehicles. Residential streets are complex places that serve multiple and,at times,competing needs. Residents expect a place that is relatively quiet,that connects rather than divides their neighborhood,where they can walk along and cross the street relatively easily and safely,and where vehicles move slowly. Other street users, including emergency service providers, solid waste collectors, and delivery trucks,expect a place that they can safely and efficiently access and maneuver to perform their jobs. Clearly, balancing the needs of these different users is not an easy task. .

The Benton-Franklin Council of Governments (BFCG)is responsible for regional transportation planning. BFCG's responsibilities include many tasks which relate to the proposed municipal code changes. For example, BFCG operates a travel demand model which forecast trip generation and distribution and measures metrics such as vehicle miles traveled. BFCG is also involved in transportation demand management as well as active transportation planning. Finally,BFCG is responsible for reviewing the transportation elements of local comprehensive plans to ensure consistency with the Washington State Growth Management Act. With BFCG's responsibilities in mind, BFCG is supportive of Pasco's proposed municipal code modifications. BFCG is very much aware of the relationship between land use and transportation. Changes which seek to encourage improved development patterns often are long-term measures— it takes a long time to see the benefit. However, in the case of the City of Pasco,which is experiencing rapid growth,the incremental benefits could be realized more rapidly than is typically the case.By requiring a more integrated and connected development pattern,the City of Pasco will be able to accrue numerous benefits. BFCG believes that the City of Pasco and the region would benefit from coordination of its plan with the various planning efforts discussed above. Other direct benefits could be related to safety benefits in the community. Additionally,we believe the City of Pasco would be viewed favorably as being proactive during this time of growth by key partners in planning and regulatory processes. Thank you again for the opportunity to review the proposed changes and to provide input. Please feel free to contact me if you need any additional information. Sincerely, Patrick Pittenger,M.S., AICP, PTP Transportation Planning Director BFCG hereby gives public notice that it is the agency policy to assure full compliance with Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987,Executive Order 12898 on Environmental justice,and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities.
