PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
Commissioner Tanya Bowers 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.
Chair Bowers stated copies of the meeting agenda were available on the back table.
She then asked that everyone silence cell phones to prevent interruptions during the meeting.
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.
She asked if there were any Planning Commission members who have a declaration at this time
regarding any of the items on the agenda.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 1 of 10 February 18,2021
There were no declarations.
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
January 21, 2021. Commissioner Cochran seconded and the motion carried.
OLD BUSINESS
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Code Amendment-House Bill 1923-Duplex, Triplex, & Courtyard Apartments (MF#CA 2020-
001) —Jacob Gonzales stated this is an update on efforts to move forward with the actions through
House 1923 to increase residential building capacities throughout the state, of Washington. This
amendment would permit a duplex, triplex or courtyard in residential zoning districts that currently
only allow single family detached units would require modifications to Title 21 and title 25 of the
Pasco municipal code. Here is the action that the city has proposed to take, compliant with House
Bill 1923, and you'll note that there are some provisions for utilities and infrastructure constraints
that we'll talk about here tonight.
So on the next slide, we show again that the city is fairly restrictive on where and how multifamily
is developed in the city of Pasco. Most of our residential zoning districts do not allow multi-family
units, 84 percent of our residential. And you can see that on the graphic, the map on the right, you
can see multifamily is allowed in the green everywhere else. It is not permitted. And so with the
Planning Commission meeting at the January public hearing, staff was asked to come back to the
Planning Commission with some scenarios and options for a planning commission consideration,
which we've done here tonight on the next slide.
So this is option number one and staff is certainly open to suggestions and comments from the
commission to members of the public. But this is just the first set of options we propose. On option
number one. This would allow duplexes in the RS-20 and RS-12 districts if there is a sewer
connection made in the city, does have a policy to encourage connection to sewer. So that is why
that is identified there. Specifically, we would allow duplex would be permitted in the R-1 district
where sewers are already readily available.
Triplex would be permitted on a corner lot in the RS-20 and RS-12. Within a quarter mile. That's
1320 of a public land use. And you'll notice that that language is similar to what was recently
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 10 February 18,2021
adopted through the lot size averaging amendment, which also utilized increased densities within
that buffer of a public land use such as a school, a park, a transit route from Ben Franklin Transit
meeting, quite a bit of the comprehensive plan policies on access their courtyard apartments under
option one would be permitted in the R-1 district on corner lots within one fourth mile of a public
land use. And on the next slide, a proposal for a second option with a slight difference in this one
being that there's a requirement for triple duplexes to utilize a special permit or apply for a special
permit. And the RS-20 and RS-12 districts. All of the other permitting types would remain the same
as in option one. So, again, the big difference or the major difference between option one, an option
number two would be that triplex in, RS-20 and RS-12 would require a special permit.
That in itself is a separate application that is processed in the City Hearing Examiner, then through
the city council, which requires different notification requirements, a little bit more of an analysis
and staff effort on special permits are required. The inclusion of a special permit, I think, is may be
appropriate for areas that are concerned with additional growth. However, keep in mind, if the effort
is to increase affordable housing, there may be a challenge with adding requirements to produce
affordable housing options in the city. So that's what we proposed the two options for now. But in a
in addition to these, we've also made propose options for development standards. So on the next
slide, this is a summary of what we've proposed for permitted types. And I can pause here if there's
any questions or move forward to the development standards. So on the next slide, you see this table
with these only districts on the left and the option one in the blue and option two in green.
And in an effort to make the most out of the proposed options just mentioned, staff is proposing
these modest changes to the development standards. These aren't a requirement for a House bill
1923. But many jurisdictions have made changes in development standards. I think the concern is
that if you allow additional unit types and more zoning districts but don't actually change the height,
the lot coverage, setbacks, et cetera, then you're really not making it attainable. So outside of there
you'd be permitted to go up to thirty five feet. But within that certain area, within the Riverview
area, the 25 foot remains the same and the R-1-A2 district in option one, there is an increase again
from 25 to 235 feet. And there's also an increase to the maximum block coverage, 40 to 60 percent.
And an option to under the R-2 district, there is the increase to 35 feet and we also separate the
ridge here between single family and multifamily, so the single family law coverage would remain
the same.
Well, multifamily law coverage would be determined by parking and setback requirements. Now,
that may also be familiar because that was what was proposed and approved, adopted in the
waterfront development district for some of their higher density areas. And so the intent for the
determination by parking and spacing requirements is not to put added restraints on development in
the city, Pasco, specifically multi-family, which have had historic some restrictive policies on that.
So this would be to encourage and allow a little bit more flexibility for multifamily units while even
the single family units the same as they exist today.
In the R-3 district, an option one that keeps the height at 40 feet and the maximum, it keeps the
height the same for a single family with an increase of multifamily and an option number two. The
same is done with the 40 feet for single family. So again, 60 percent remains the same for single
family. And in multifamily developments, the lot coverage would be determined by the parking and
setback requirements.
And in the R-4 highest density zoning district, there would be no changes with the height. But
again, the same lot coverage by dwelling types or single family remains the same, and multifamily
would then again be determined by parking and setback requirements. So the changes in height are
consistent with the permitting type. Also note that the current height and the RS-20 and RS-12
zoning districts are actually higher than what is currently allowed in the R-S-1 district, the lot
coverages were again borrowed from their recently adopted waterfront development.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 10 February 18,2021
So on the next slide, we summarize again what we're showing at the January meeting, which is the
density gap analysis, which is determined that Pasco does pretty well at meeting the lowest density
of the low density land use. But we're struggling on the other areas and on the next slide we identify
what is a pressing need, which is obviously Pasco's continuing to grow rapidly.
Another fifteen thousand housing units are necessary within the next 20 years to meet our
forecasted population growth. Without any changes, we will not meet that growth target. We
actually are significantly below that demand. You may remember that during the comprehensive
plan, an urban growth area discussions, we utilized a slightly higher density in the medium and high
density land uses, and that allowed us to achieve the necessary units for the growth in the city. But
we didn't change anything in the low density and you'll see that we exceed that amount slightly by
eight percent. And then a scenario of three, what you see there that takes into account development
on vacant parcels in the urban growth area, a residential vacant parcels with a slightly increased
density, which would be allowed perhaps by this amendment itself. And with scenario number two
and three, which require changes to the code, we are on target to meet our housing demand. So,
again, if we don't make any changes, meeting that target is likely going to be extremely challenging
for the city.
So some changes are necessary. And I think house bill 1923 amendments are right in line with what
we're proposing to do here. I think it's also important to point out some prior and even ongoing
efforts. The Planning Commission actually in 2014 or the City Council in 2014, adopted an
ordinance that actually increased the lot size minimums in multifamily zoning districts and allowed
single family dwellings. And so that that in itself took away with the it limited the amount of
density in our multifamily units. In 2015, there was effectively a moratorium in the RS-20 zoning
districts that recently annexed areas out in West Pasco that did not allow up zones. And if you
remember from the past few staff reports over the last year or two, all of our RS-20 zoning districts
that we've seen come through the planning department have been for applications to up zones. So
the minute that five year moratorium ended, we saw an increase in RS-20 and RS-12 applications in
the city of Pasco.
So there are some interest, obviously, for that to keep on occurring. And also an ongoing effort at
the Washington state legislature, which we've been learning about just recently, is Washington
House bill 1157, which grant cities partial rebates of the real estate excise tax. So duplexes triplex
and courtyard apartments. So while that has got a long ways to go before any state action is taken
on that by the governor,we may be well-positioned to take advantage of additional funding
resources with an amendment like this. So on the last slide, we wrap up with again, summarizing
some of the recently adopted comprehensive plan goals and policies for land use and housing that
again reiterate our requirement to plan and encourage for a variety of housing to accommodate the
various economic segments of the city through a variety of housing units, flexible development
standards and compliant with state law.
Code Amendment-Compliance Update for Critical Area & Development(MF#CA2021-001-Jacob
Gonzalez stated members of the Planning Commission, and again, similar to the workshop item in
January, the effort here is to update our critical areas ordinance and a variety of development
regulations to be compliant with recently adopted state law,perhaps, or I think oversight over the
past 10 or so years.
These really happen in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. So that's the periodic
compliance update that we're moving forward with or the effort is today. So there were two
attachments or three attachments to the staff report today. There was Exhibit A,which was the
significant update to the Critical Areas ordinance and also Exhibit B, which was the actually quite a
bit of new additions to the development regulations addressing affordable housing provisions for
electric vehicle battery charging stations and a process for a comprehensive plan, amendment and
emergency amendment processes.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 10 February 18,2021
On the next slide, a summary of what was updated in the Critical Areas ordinance. We actually have
most, if not all of these already identified in the Shoreline Master program, which I think is on the
Planning Commission members today experienced a few years ago. So it was simply just
referencing what was already in our code,putting it also under the critical areas ordinance umbrella,
there was an update to the wetland buffers and critical aquifer recharge areas, or CAO to align with
the shoreline master plan.
There was some additional refinements and clarities made to the CAO to align with state updates
and requirements. We did receive significant comments from state agencies. We haven't received
any comments from members of the public,but we did receive comments from the Department of
Health, Department of Ecology and the Department of Fish and Wildlife. And in fact, there was an
added exhibit today that was sent to members of the Planning Commission, which included the
comments and responses from the department, the Washington State Department of Health. I also
want to note that exhibit number C, which was the comments matrix, included every comment and
question. So they were all included in that,just not in the document you saw on Friday. And on the
next slide, the summary of items for the development regulations. And so there's some new
additions that we want to highlight here, an added definition in terms for affordable housing,
mineral, mineral land regulations and electric vehicle battery charging stations. There was added
language to the concurrency chapter of Title 12, the municipal code.
This would make highways of statewide significance, which are adopted by the Washington State
Department of Transportation. Those would be exempt from concurrency review and also the
comprehensive plan. And you'll docketing an amendment process and on the next slide. This is the
definition that staff is proposing for affordable housing. This is right in line with the CA. It's also
referenced in a variety of city planning documents. We just don't actually have it in the code. So we
reference this in the comprehensive plan. It's a reference in the recently adopted city council goals
and it's also a part of the five year consolidated plan. And what this does is not when we mention
affordable housing, we have a specific definition that is compliant with state law or state guidance
on this. So it's more of a check for us here, but it's finally going to be proposed to be added to the
municipal code on the next slide,provisions for electric vehicle battery charging stations. So this is
a development regulation that's required of all jurisdictions since 2009 that we must allow a battery
charging stations in all areas except those owned for residential or resource use or critical areas.
So that would be added is proposed to be added to the municipal code and also a brand new section
for mineral land regulations, specifically terms and permitting processes. We did check with the
Washington State Department of Natural Resources about a proposal. We didn't hear any feedback
or concerns for what we're proposing. So we propose it to keep that as is as is presented with the
Planning Commission this evening and the comprehensive plan. Our current amendment process is
pretty fairly I don't want to say nonexistent, but it's not as thorough as it needs to be. I think we all
understand the complexities of a comprehensive plan itself. And while this will by no means require
that amount of effort, it does require the city to justify land use amendments if they comply with the
comprehensive plan policies that were adopted by council. So we also add definitions for type of
land use a comprehensive plan amendment.
There is an element which, for instance, the city is currently updating its comprehensive sewer plan.
If that plan addendum would be adopted this year,we would likely apply in 2021 I'm sorry, 2022
for a comprehensive plan amendment to adopt the sewer plan or the transportation system master
plan that is being worked on today and also the emergency amendment process, which isn't likely
used too often throughout the state of Washington. And specifically it's that all applications are
reviewed concurrently versus separately. The comprehensive plan required an environmental impact
statement that requires the city to identify any potential challenges, environmental concerns and
mitigation aspects of the land use change. So while this won't require SEPA, it does require the city
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 10 February 18,2021
to be thorough with land use amendments. And if they comply with the comprehensive plan, then
they would go through the process. And on the next slide, there's a graphic of what that actually
looks like.
This is a process that is done in a variety of cities in the state of Washington. So a pre application
meeting is required. So if somebody or an applicant wants to propose a land use amendment from
industrial to another or from commercial to another, a meeting with the cities require where they
submit an application. They're added to a docket which is presented to the Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission reviews. It is forwarded to council for sort of a high level review of
what's being proposed for the comprehensive plan. And that's sent back to the Planning
Commission for more analysis and then back to the city council for a final decision. And then with
any comprehensive plan, amendment is subject to appeal to the Growth Management Hearings
Board. So the graphic certainly seems like there's a significant added process and there is a part of
that that would be added.
And I believe that's the last slide or the timeline. So here we are today. The CPA and environmental
determination was issued on February 4th. A determination of not significance was issued. We've
already started the comment period with the Department of Commerce, where that's where you saw
in the comment matrix. The comments from the various agencies staff is recommending the closure
of the public, hearing an adoption or recommendation to city council to the proposal before you
today, where we intend to take it in March and April to the city council. Then again, notifying the
Department of Commerce about our critical area ordinance update and department regulation,
ordinance compliance.
Commissioner Myhrum stated I just want to thank staff for engaging in this process, making sure
the city's rules are compliant with state regulations is a big task,but it's an important one in regards
to critical areas ordinance. Does that impact the critical areas. Map itself. And so when those
definitions get updated, does the map then get updated. And are there any parts of the city that have
been impacted that, you know, they weren't critical before this, but now they are. Have you seen
anything like that through this process. Jacob Gonzalez stated no In fact, that actually was a
question that came up this morning with the Department of Fish and Wildlife and other critical
areas. Map that was adopted with the comprehensive plan is not there is no change that is
anticipated for that. It, to my knowledge, is mostly updating our existing critical areas ordinance to
have the necessary language. The states made numerous changes to how they make categories to
wetland buffers and a few other portions of the critical areas ordinance and are simply just was not
up to date. Commissioner Myhrum so there are no proposed developments that have been impacted
or set back or changed or needed to modify because of any updates to definitions. Jacob Gonzalez
stated no.
Commissioner Bowers stated everything that is included right now in the CAO and these other
development regulations, these are things which haven't been a part of all of our current
compliance. Jacob Gonzalez stated the ordinance amendment today for both the CAO and
development regulations would all be there, all new,but it is to ensure consistency with the views of
the state of Washington. Commissioner Bowers stated and then the slide, I think it was the slide
before here, which had the flow chart of sorts. So I noticed were the planning commission is listed
twice. Does that mean we will be seeing these things on two separate occasions. Jacob Gonzalez
stated You will. There's sort of the if in the staff report and in the ordinance itself, there's the
wording states that six days prior to meeting, first we open up the application window for
comprehensive plan land use amendments. We open it up for 30 days is what's stated. And then we
take to the planning commission to share what's been proposed. The Planning Commission takes a
high level look at it, recommends them to be forwarded to city council for additional review, and
then it's kicked back to staff for the real review process and back up to planning commission and
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 10 February 18,2021
council. So it's not as I would say, it's not as much of a effort as the periodic update of the
comprehensive plan or the know, the eight year cycle,but it does require some work for us and
that's a good thing. It's to ensure that when we do proposed changes to the comprehensive plan, that
they are compliant with the goals and policies that council and the public have stated are in the best
interests of the city of Pasco. So it is more of a check and compliance issue with this itself.
Commissioner Cochran stated I had one question about so it looks like there are four new inserts
into the regulations and there is the affordable housing, the mineral and the transportation financing
electric vehicle. Are those new changes or new initiatives being pretty much 100% driven by the
state requirements. Or are we adding some of our own local input into those. Are they just pretty
much the states that you have to have is in there. Jacob Gonzalez stated so putting it in short, the
answer is yes. The electric vehicle battery charge stations. There is some model language because it
was many jurisdictions have very similar language on the electric battery charging stations, the
affordable housing. There is some variations across the state, some jurisdictions, to have more
thorough clarity about low to moderate income. And it breaks down affordable housing, extreme
affordable housing. But it would specific to that definition itself, as I mentioned in the last item, the
city is developing a scope for housing needs assessment or housing action plan,which is likely it
won't change this definition,but may add to it. And so rather than get ahead of ourselves, the intent
with the affordable housing definition was to provide a definition that is compliant with state law
and then leave it general enough, which you think we've done today, that we can come back after
the housing action assessment of the housing action plan is completed and adopted to refine it or
add as necessary. But right now we simply don't have a definition in the past municipal code for
affordable housing. But so the statement we've got is pretty general. The addition of how is a
statewide significance to concurrency in other jurisdictions that's updated a comprehensive plan
over the past. I would say decade is probably have required to add that. So we're catching up to that.
And similar with the mineral land regulations, we actually didn't have that in our code. And the
likelihood of us permitting development in the mineral resource lands is extremely low. But now we
have a permitting process in case we do get one.
❖ Commissioner Cochran state I move to close the public hearing on the proposed code amendment
2021-001 and recommend to the City Council the adoption of the proposed code amendment for
critical areas, ordinance and development regulations as contained in the February 18, 2021
Planning Commission staff report. Commissioner Campos seconded the motion and the motion
carried.
Code Amendment- Mini Storage in C-1;CR Zoning Districts(MF#CA2021-003)-Rick White, Director
Community Economic Department stated this item is definitely a little different than the first two
you've heard tonight,but the zoning regulations allow storage units in the heavier commercial zones
like the C-3 zoning district and all the industrial zoning districts through the special permit process,
mini storage facilities are allowed in the C-I and the C-3, the darker purple right around one
hundred and 182 shown on the map through the special permit process. And if you think the
Broadmoor storage facility on Broadmoor and Sandifur roughly, and then the Chapel Hill facility on
Chapel Hill,just east of Road 68, those are examples of many storage facilities that have been
permitted through that special permit process. We recently received an application that's tested for a
600 unit mini storage facility in the R-S-I Zone in district, roughly on St. Thomas Drive here,just a
little bit west of the Catholic high school. And so and even prior to receiving that application earlier
this year, it had always been a discussion of staff and other department directors that perhaps it
should not be as easy to get a special permit approved for mini storage in the city's primary retail
zoning district.
So the C-1 district is that which you see on Court Street and Road 68. The district is a little bit
unique, but essentially it was, I think, originally intended to promote vehicle sales opportunities for
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 10 February 18,2021
vehicle sales, however, and as the staff report points out, particularly on page two the top of page
two, there are a number of factors that would tend to seem, at least to me, to discourage storage
units in retail commercial areas, for example, retail, commercial needs, and is based on a high
traffic volume there, often in places that have high visibility, very well traveled routes. The city is
not flush with commercial zoning. And staff has come to the conclusion that perhaps the planning
commission should weigh in on whether mini storage units, first of all, if they're even appropriate in
the retail zoning districts and if they are, then should there be some kind of effort through code
revision process to either require them to be developed in conjunction with retail uses more close to
the arterial serving that zoning district or more close to the nearest street frontage? And then as Mr.
Gonzalez and I were discussing just before the meeting, maybe it's appropriate to consider other
code amendments as well, such as limiting size, perhaps, or anything else that comes off the top of
your head.
Limiting size require required requirements for design standards, something that perhaps looks a
little more comprehensively at the retail zoning districts and how they're being used. And if they're
actually serving the community that they were intended to serve. So with that, I certainly welcome
the Planning Commission's discussion and any thoughts. We advertise for a public hearing tonight,
but the expected action of the commission really is discussion. And then we'll continue the hearing
and try to come back with something that may address the commission's ideas that we receive here.
Commissioner Cochran stated I like the fact that, you know, one of the things my wife just the other
day noticing as we're in West Pasco, that, you know, in some ways you could say that it's becoming
a mini storage track farm. And so particularly by the freeway in the commercial areas. And so not
that we want to limit folks from the opportunity to have those businesses,but it seems like there
could be steps taken to minimize the esthetic impact of the traffic impacts or whatever. And like
you said, some of the suggestions of kind of surrounding them with retail or building, you know,
building them around or inside of perimeters so that it doesn't look like this is something like you
expect at the airport, but not in some of these residential areas and, you know, and commercial
areas. And so I guess I think it'd be definitely I guess my perspective, it would be great to explore
what are the options without, you know, what is the balance of not saying we don't want those,but
to say how can we do those. And in a way that doesn't turn certain parts of the city into storage
farms. And, you know,ways to make and maybe the answer is limited guidelines or ordinances that
say how can we limit the size or how can we integrate that with retail or how can we build things
around them that are barriers or so anyway, that's my thoughts, because I definitely can see the
benefit because there are certain areas of the city that you can see these mini storage farms that are
just becoming pretty large and multiplying.
Commissioner Abel Campos stated I just want to echo Commissioner Cochran's comments, I do as
well look for good conversation and really talk about how we can do this, because, you know,
specifically talking about this, I just think it goes against what really commercial areas, you know,
should be at. High traffic areas are supposed to be a really good retail zone and to attract traffic
rather than low kind of volume places such like this and I just think it's a good thing to take a look
at and see what you come up with.
Commissioner Myhrum stated I appreciate your staff bringing this up, I would agree that using the
parlance of our previous item, commercial real estate is a critical resource for the city in terms of
our tax base and economic growth. I guess one question I would have is whether currently storage
units are allowed on a special permit basis in residential and industrial areas as well. Rick White
stated that actually was another topic that Mr. Gonzalez and I discussed just before the meeting
there. They are not allowed in residential areas. Another community that I worked with before,
Pasco, that starts with a K and it's right across the river, allows, if I'm remembering correctly,
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 10 February 18,2021
allows mini storage units in their highest density zoning district only for the use of the comp, the
housing complex on the same parcel and I don't remember if they use a conditional use permit
process or not. They're in Pasco,though there is no conditional use permit process needed once
you're outside the C-1 and C-R zoning district. Commissioner Myhrum stated that helps a lot,
because it kind of helps me see where they can be developed outright, and I was concerned that
perhaps some of our residential spaces might be imposed upon even more if they were diverted
otherwise. I think maybe there is more kind of a middle ground approach where either based on size
or some other restriction there can be a kind of happy medium where we can preserve space, yet
recognize that sometimes commercial corridors are the most convenient. So I'm kind of in the
middle at the moment. But I appreciate this being brought up and sounds like an important
conversation to have to avoid problems down the road.
Rick White stated as noted in the staff report, with the switch to the hearing examiner, it's become
apparent very rapidly that if the code does not require something to happen, it will not happen on
her decision. So if our code takes on added importance now, much of our discretion, and this is kind
of a child of state law as well, that much of the local discretion. Well, at least the application of
local discretion is more infinite than it used to be. So if it isn't in code, it's not backed up sufficiently
for the hearing examiner to, for example, require a certain percentage of retail or a certain design
standard. So that's why it's very important to address this head on and get the regulations down in
writing.
WORKSHOP
OTHER BUSINESS
Rick White stated even though we had obviously a significant impact with the Covid pandemic in
2020, we still ended up at the end of the year, and this is permit value, by the way, it's not market
value and it's probably about 25 or 30 percent less than the assessed value finally gets on the books.
But we did have roughly 40 million dollars of new commercial construction permitted this year
compared to about 30 million same time last year if you take out the two schools that were
permitted in 2018,we had almost 90 million dollars in industrial expansion permits issued in 2020,
which is almost ten times the amount in all of 2019. And we're expecting at least two more
substantial industrial expansion permits soon. So we'll see probably numbers along those same lines
at the end of 2021. We permitted 525 single family homes, more than any other jurisdiction, which
was exactly the same as last year. Last year we permitted 585 more than any other jurisdiction. So
and I understand that the housing stock of available homes is at unbelievably astounding lows. So
there appear to be somewhere in the hundreds of homes available on the market instead of the
thousands, which has been the historical trends.
And then we ended the year with about a little less than 200 million in new taxable value, which
compares to about two hundred and five million in 2019. So all in all, you know, we lost the entire
month of April for permit activity, which we weren't issuing any permits. So we figured out a way
to do it. And still a very good year. And consistent with the the other Tri-City jurisdictions, they
also had surprisingly good years considering the climate nationwide for the covid pandemic.

First Year Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER)
This 2020 CAPER represents the first year performance report of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan
annual action plan supplement. Data and narrative are entered into a federal database system called the
Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) and the CAPER report is downloaded into a
Word format from there.The CAPER template in IDIS has a series of prescribed questions that align with
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Consolidated Plan program regulations.The
report presented is in the HUD-prescribed format from data entered into IDIS.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Pasco (City) has prepared this CAPER for the period of January 1, 2020,through December
31, 2020 (Program Year). In accordance with the federal regulations found in 24 CFR 91.The CAPER
presents the progress in carrying out projects and activities pursuant to Program Year 2020 Annual
Action Plan for CDBG funding received from The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD)to principally benefit low-and moderate-income persons.
The Cities of Kennewick, Pasco and Richland receive federal CDBG funds annually from HUD for CDBG
and HOME. Each city is separately responsible for planning, administering housing and community
development activities within their jurisdiction, implementing monitoring, and reporting to HUD on the
use of CDBG funds.
At the beginning of each program year,the City prepares an Annual Action Plan that informs HUD and
citizens what goals and objectives the City intends to meet with CDBG funding during the upcoming
year.At the end of the program year,the City prepares a CAPER to illustrate the actual accomplishments
achieved during that year.The CAPER allows HUD, local officials and citizens to assess the use of
available resources and to assess the efforts made to achieve the goals and objectives identified in the
five year(2020-2024) Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan.
This annual performance report,the 2020 Annual Action Plan and other related documents may be
accessed through the City's website at: https://www.pasco-wa.gov/188/Five-Year-Consolidated-Plan
The three Cities, as contiguous units of local government, entered into a Cooperative Agreement under
HOME to form the Tri-Cities HOME Consortium .The Consortium received federal HOME funds annually
to carry out affordable housing projects and activities.The City of Richland serves as the lead agency of
the Consortium and is responsible for the administrative, monitoring and reporting agency to HUD.
Therfore, Richland reports on the use of HOME funds. Planning and reporting Pasco's use of the HOME
funds in 2020 are reported in the City of Richland Annual Action Plan and CAPER.

CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan.
91.520(a)
The City of Pasco conducted activities during the 2020 program year to increase and preserve affordable
housing choices, support community, neighborhood, and economic development efforts, and support
homeless intervention and public service activities.The City managed or implemented each activity in a
manner consistent with the certifications presented in the PY2020 Annual Action Plan, including:
Affirmatively furthering fair housing; Following an anti-displacement and relocation plan; Providing a
drug-free workplace; ensuring no federal funds were used for lobbying; and implementing activities that
are consistent with all components of the 5-Year Consolidated Plan. Overall,the City of Pasco meets the
2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and 2020 Annual Action Plan goals and objectives.The City has
demonstrated measurable progress in all of the Consolidated Plan programs and projects. Highlights
include:
Affordable housing activities utilized $88,394(11.38%) of total funds in 2020 to sustain or improve the
quality of existing affordable housing stock.Activities included emergency rental rehabilitation
($18,394), eligible code enforcement inspections and tasks within low-moderate income census tracts to
arrest decline ($70,000). During this period, 523 properties were brought into compliance, and 27,330
people 74.6%of which were low-moderate income benefitted from code enforcement inspection
activities.
Economic Development Activities utilized $405,978.38 in CDBG funds approximately for two fagade
improvement projects in the downtown revitalization neighborhood. CDBG funds provide for wages,
salaries and benefits for Technical Assistance at the Pasco Specialty Kitchen, a certified commercial
incubator kitchen. By providing technical assistance to small startup food-related businesses the Pasco
Specialty Kitchen, a commercial incubator kitchen, improves their success rate by helping them to
establish and achieve their goals. In consideration for technical assistance,the startup businesses agree
to create and/or make jobs available to low-to-moderate income persons. Four(4) new business
received assistance this reporting period and become active clients at the kitchen, five (5) new FTE jobs
were reported as created. As a result of COVID-19,this activity was negatively impacted.The typical
number of new clients and jobs created was not realized. Efforts continue to bring on new clients and
create jobs.
Public Facilities Improvements activities utilized $80,167 in CDBG funds or 10.32%the Peanuts Park
renovation project utilizes CDBG funds from 2016, 2017 and 2018 for design and Section 108 loan funds
for construction. This reporting period the design contract for the Peanuts Park Renovation project was
99% complete. In 2020, the Lewis Street(2nd-5th Avenue) sidewalk improvement multi-year project
began design. It utilizes CDBG funds from 2019 and 2020. Construction for this activity will begin in
2021 in conjunction with the Peanuts Park renovation project. Accomplishments will be reported when
construction is complete for public works projects.
Homeless interventions/public service activities utilized $69,554, or 8.96% in CDBG funds to support
public services that respond to the immediate needs of persons in crisis and that support regional
efforts to meet the basic living needs of lower-income households and individuals including persons with
special needs, seniors, and disadvantaged youth. Public service activities benefited 72,407 low-mod
people. Activities at all public facility projects were impacted by the Governor's order to shutdown.

Table 1-Accomplishments—Program Year&Strategic Plan to Date
Assess how the jurisdiction's use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan,
giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.
The goals and strategies are designed to provide a framework for action in undertaking housing and community development activities over the
five year period. Goals describe priority areas for overall improvement in Pasco. Strategies describe the general methods that the entitlement
communities will employ to positively impact living and working conditions. Objectives detail the specifics of the strategies,the tools that will be
used to implement the strategies, populations and areas that will be targeted, and performance indicators to track progress in meeting the
goals.
Due to HUD's recent monitoring, new policies and practices related to public services and public facilities,financial management, and auditing
have been implemented by the City of Pasco. As a result of these changes in policies and procedures, achievements and goals will be
documented,tracked, and monitored more efficiently.The City feels that these changes result in more accurate reporting IDIS.
Activities funded by the City of Pasco during the 2020 program year addressed the priorities established in the Tri-Cities 2020-2024 Consolidated
Plan, which were drawn from an analysis of the needs and resources identified through the planning process.
CAPER 7
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018)
Economic Development activities, revitalization and code enforcement activities continue to be the highest priority needs.The Peanuts Park
renovation project is extremely important for revitalization efforts in the East and Central Pasco neighborhoods. A section 108 loan will help
move construction forward for reinvestment in the Pasco Farmers Market, Peanuts Park renovation and related infrastructure. In 2020,
economic development activities utilized $405,978.38 or 52.28%.This includes funds from the CDBG-CV Business Assistance Grant program
which provided assistance to 15 microenterprise business to prepare for, prevent and respond to COVID-19.
Code enforcement is also a key component to help arrest decline to the Pasco Downtown revitalization area in addition to Economic
Development Activities.Currently the City of Pasco employs five code enforcement officers, one officer is dedicated solely to the city-wide Rental
Inspection program, and one Code Officer is dedicated to low-mod Census Tracts 201-204 which is partially funded by CDBG.This officer covers a
very large geographic area amounting to approximately half of the geographic area of the City. Housing stabilization, specifically in this low-to-
moderate income area, is a priority need. An additional Code Officer is needed to meet the need.The area is heavily populated, housing stock is
extremely aged and shows deterioration, as well older commercial/industrial buildings,there are numerous abandoned properties that have
become attractive nuisances contributing to higher crime rates and lower property values in the area. Pasco's population has more than doubled
since the program began. Due to the overwhelming growth of the city,the Code Officer is only able to react to complaints of public health,
safety and citizen welfare and not able to focus on prevention even with assistance from the other officers.The Department's need and goal is
to employ an additional code enforcement officer to assist in enforcement of ordinances and codes and to encourage owners to take pride in
their properties in this area in order to arrest the decline.

The CHIP Minor Rehabilitation Program (326) was funded in 2015. In 2017 the funds were reassigned to
the City of Pasco for completion. Five (5) applications were received in 2017 and reviewed for eligibility.
Of these, three were approved. Construction began in 2017 and in the beginning of 2018, one
rehabilitation was completed. At the end of 2018,two other rehabilitations were substantially
completed. Prior to close out, a review revealed a minor amount of work remaining to be completed.
The project is being held open until final completion in 2020 due to COVIDI9, non-essential construction
was put on hold.Three extremely low-income households have been assisted with the rehabilitation
program.Two households are elderly/disabled homeowners. Due to lack of response from electrical
contractors these two projects were delayed. One project was completed in 2020 and the second is still
waiting for an electrical bid.

delated. However,two (2) applications were received for the (399) Rental Rehabilitation Emergency
Assistance Roofs Only Program. Near the end 2020, construction was scheduled for one building and
completed early 2020 due to inclement weather.The second building is scheduled to be approved and
completed in 2021. Both buildings had roofs that were actively leaking.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction's progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City of Pasco is committed to supporting various activities outlined in the Consolidated Plan to
strengthen and coordinate actions with housing, non-profit and economic development agencies. Staff
continues to be an active member of the Benton Franklin Housing Continuum of Care to assist in the
coordination of government agencies, nonprofit organizations, housing developers, social service
providers, and continuum of care providers to meet the needs of the homeless.
The City of Pasco staff participates in annual the point in time count and serves on the Continuum of
Care Board. Outside of these activities, the City did not reach out to any unsheltered homeless persons
or assess their individual needs.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City supports the activities of community efforts to house individuals transitioning out of
homelessness.The City does not have capacity to provide supportive managed care and subsidized rent
helping clients to achieve self-sufficiency.The City continues to seek funding sources with which to
continue providing assistance to non-profits for transitional housing projects.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care
facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections
programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
Except for involvement with the Continuum of Care Group, the City did not provide direct assistance to
help low-income individuals or families avoid becoming homeless, that are being discharged from
publicly funded institutions or receiving assistance from public or private agencies this program year.
CAPER 13
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018)
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families,families
with children,veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
In 2019, discussions began between local non-profits and Catholic Charities regarding successful
development of permanent supportive housing projects in Spokane with low-income tax credits. In
March 2019,the City of Pasco participated in a in a Supportive Housing Summit to explore options for
alleviating chronic homelessness,which focused on mental health and substance abuse clients.The
Summit, spearheaded by Carol Moser, Executive Director of the Greater Columbia Accountable
Community of Health (ACH)featured data exploration by Dr. Patrick Jones, Executive Director for Public
Policy and Economic Analysis, Eastern Washington University and three case studies by Dr. Rob McCann,
President&CEO, Catholic Charities Eastern Washington, Rhonda Hauff, Deputy CEO &Chief Operating
Officer,Yakima Neighborhood Health Services, and Leeza Lorence, Manager at Amerigroup Inc.The focus
of the summit was on permanent supportive housing which would circumvent the frequent, expensive,
and unnecessary ER visits and incarcerations often associated with the mentally ill and/or substance
abusing chronically homeless. In 2020, City of Pasco facilitated letters of support and certificates of
consistency for this project for submission of the application to the State of Washington Affordable
Housing Trust Fund.

OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018)
CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City does not directly manage public housing. Public housing efforts are managed and implemented
by the Housing Authority of City of Pasco and Franklin County(HACPFC).To the furthest extent that it
makes sense,the City works with the Housing Authority to analyze data to understand the public
housing needs in Pasco.
In the Tri-Cities, public housing authorities facilitate tenant councils in their respective jurisdictions.
These public housing authorities actively support self-sufficiency for Section 8 and other program clients
and actively market their assistance programs to private landlords and property management firms. As
in most areas, public housing authority waiting lists in the Tri-Cities are unable to match the need for
housing to the supply of vouchers or public housing units. Waiting lists are open year-round, with
preferences and eligibility criteria established separately by each PHA as allowed by federal regulation.
The Housing Authority of City of Pasco and Franklin County (HACPFC) has 280 public housing, 318
Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8), public housing units and 68 project based affordable units for
household income between 50-80%AMI.Varney Court development provides 38 units for agricultural
workers whose income is less than 50%AMI.The project utilized 4%tax credits to finance the
development, however, they are not subsidized. In total, HACPFC has 598 subsidized units (public
housing and Section 8 vouchers) which are targeted for individuals with less than 30%AMI, and 106
affordable units which are unsubsidized. Funding cuts for Section 8 has resulted in HACPFC only being
able to provide assistance for 235 familes with section 8 vouchers.
The public housing stock owned by the PHA is generally in very good overall condition. Regular
improvements are generally made through their own funding as well as a variety of HUD Public Housing
Grant Programs available for modernization, safety/security measures, rehabilitation and other
operating issues. Public housing units range from scattered site, multi-family duplexes to multi-family
apartment complexes.
All rental properties in Pasco are required to be licensed annually and inspected bi-annually for
compliance with minimum housing standards per the International Property Maintenance Code. Public
Housing and Section 8 properties are inspected and certified by HUD inspectors and with properties
inspected through the Rental Inspection Program.Through this program, many affordable rental units
have been returned to the market, increasing the stock of safe, decent and affordable housing.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership
The City funds several public services projects that provide training and education to low-income
residents in regard to self-sufficiency,tenant rights, and homeownership options.The Pasco Day Labor

Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
Actions beginning in 2018 culminated in the City adopting an Ordinance in February, regarding Single-
Room Occupancy (SRO) housing, a type of low-income, high-density housing directed at
physically/mentally disabled residents, single tenants, seasonal workers, or for those on fixed incomes.
SROs consist of multiple single room dwelling units with kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry facilities
provided either within each unit or in a common area.These smaller, more affordable housing units can
be utilized as one solution to mitigate Pasco's homelessness issues.
Below is a list of Planning activities and Council actions aimed at increasing housing affordability and
flexibility:
• Ordinance 4444 (July 2019) - Permits lots without public road frontage to develop using private
shared access.
• Ordinance 4445 (July 2019) - Reduced Minimum Lot Size for R-2, R-3 and R-4 Zoning Districts
• Ordinance 4456 (September 2019) Increased height limits for R-3 & R-4
Other policy changes intended to encourage fair housing in Pasco which are currently in process
include:
• House Bill 1923 -Three code amendments scheduled for Summer 2020 and early 2021 Council

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The need for affordable housing and community development and quality of life serves in order to assist
low and moderate-income individuals, families and neighborhoods is tremendous.The greatest obstacle
in meeting underserved needs is funding. While the City has programs in place to address the
underserved needs,the amount of funding available for additional programs is insufficient to produce
outcomes that ensure a full range of decent housing and suitable living environments.
The City funds a number of CDBG activities that benefit its citizens by provided rehabilitation to
homeowners through the Owner Occupied Rehabilitation program.The program is needed and sought
CAPER 17
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018)
after, however, there are obstacles such as legal residency that often prevent projects from moving
forward. We are looking at a number of ways to improve the program.Additionally, the City funds
community, economic, and neighborhood projects. Projects include public services, improvements to
neighborhood parks which enhance the livability of the neighborhood and the removal of architectural
barriers that limit seniors and disabled from accessing City services.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Applicants for the HOME down-payment assistance program are provided with "Protect Your Family
from Lead in Your Home" pamphlet and "Renovate Right" is provided to all Homeowner Rehabilitation
applicants.This benefits lower-income households that would qualify for housing programs. Information
is also made available to the general public and contractors visiting city offices and via links on city
websites.
The City of Pasco will also continue to reduce the cost burden to lower income households by paying for
extensive testing to identify lead hazards and assure compliance after remediation work. This will be
accomplished by granting the costs of lead-based paint inspections, risk assessments, and one clearance
exam for persons assisted by the Community Housing Improvement Program rehabilitation projects
using CDBG funds.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Several activities were undertaken in 2020 to decrease cost-burdens for lower income people, such as
the various housing programs offered by the City of Pasco and the Tri-Cities HOME Consortium including
Down Payment Assistance Program, and various public/social service programs such as life skills
training.
The City of Pasco actively supports economic development projects to create and retain jobs, provide
education or training to enable people to become self-sufficient, and improve economic opportunity to
work at living wage jobs.
Activities in 2020 that addressed urgent priority community needs in the downtown business overlay
district were provided through the Pasco Specialty Kitchen (a certified commercial kitchen incubator)
providing technical assistance to microenterprise businesses, the CDBG-CV Business Assistance Program,
and the Facade Improvement Program to improve the appearance of downtown businesses.
Supported the efforts of various non-profit agencies, housing authorities and CHDO's to provide
affordable housing opportunities for special needs populations. Rehabilitation priority is given by the
Benton Franklin CAC Energy Efficient Healthy House Program to those homes occupied by vulnerable
populations, such as elderly or disabled homeowners and renters.

Continued support for very low-income seniors and disabled households by reducing water bills.
Discounts for electricity and refuse are also offered by Franklin Public Utility District (PUD) and Basin
Disposal.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City of Pasco is committed to supporting various activities outlined in the Consolidated Plan to
strengthen and coordinate actions with housing, non-profit and economic development agencies. Staff
continues to be an active member of the Benton Franklin Housing Continuum of Care to assist in the
coordination of government agencies, nonprofit organizations, housing developers, social service
providers, and continuum of care providers to meet the needs of the homeless.
The cities participate in cross-jurisdictional efforts. This includes participation in the Benton Franklin
Continuum of Care, Benton Franklin Human Services Department, involvement with Housing
Authorities, and continued efforts to foster cooperation among government agencies, nonprofit
organizations, housing developers, social service providers, local businesses and continuum of care
provides to meet the needs of the homeless.
While the City of Richland is the lead entity, it relies heavily on the staff of the other two cities for
support in the HOME program. One of the strengths of the Consortium is the close working relationship
between the cities in general as well as between the departments charged with administering the HUD
programs. In turn, agencies such as Benton Franklin Community Action Connections,TRIDEC,the Benton
Franklin Continuum of Care, Benton Franklin Council of Governments, Housing Authorities and several
nonprofit agencies work in all three cities, improving the effectiveness of coordination and efficiencies.
The fact that the three cities are in close proximity,with common issues and opportunities, provides a
base for cooperation.The Consortium also hold regular meetings to discuss improving internal policies,
best practices and written agreements.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
City of Pasco CDBG and Tri Cities Consortium staff coordinate with a variety of public and private
housing and social service agencies during the planning, project proposal, and implementation stages of
programs through the citizen participation process.
Staff of the cities and representatives of nonprofit services and housing agencies participate on
committees crossing jurisdictional lines.This includes involvement in the Continuum of Care planning
efforts undertaken by Benton Franklin Human Services Department, a joint County agency,to oversee
reducing homelessness in the counties. Pasco continues to work with other community liaisons to
encourage cooperation and sharing of information to identify existing resources that might be available
to meet community needs.
CAPER 19
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018)
There is also a close working relationship with the Housing Authorities, some of whom have benefited
from CDBG and/or HOME funds for assisted housing development activities and whose residents have
benefitted from public services delivered by the area's nonprofit agencies.
Limiting cooperative efforts, is the lack of new federal resources available for programs.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the
jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)
The Fair Housing Act and the CDBG and HOME Program rules pertaining to non-discrimination follow a
history in the United States' affirmation of various civil right of its citizenry.The core principles of
fairness and anti-discrimination are rooted in the Constitution and its Amendments, and a series of
milestone civil rights laws that have further honed the concept of fairness in governmental and private
actions.These laws were made not only to govern the individual citizen's actions, but also to establish
the same standards of fairness and accountability for governmental actions.
The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing is a required document for Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) and HOME entitlement jurisdictions. It has become the basis for identifying specific
patterns of violation of the Fair Housing Act and other laws, civil rights rules and regulations which occur
in a local jurisdiction. Once partners are identified, communities can design effective strategies and
goals to address fair housing problems.The general content of this Analysis of Impediment to Fair
Housing includes:
1. Identification of Fair Housing laws and rules.
2. A discussion of what constitutes fair housing violations and impediments.
3. Discussion of the fair housing complaint processes and investigation protocol.
4. An overview of the Tri-Cities demographic profiles including income, population attributes,
economic conditions, and general housing market conditions. Data from a variety of sources
including local mortgage lending performance, complaint data, etc.
5. Review of local permitting and housing codes as well as housing program rules and practices,
and local government practices which impact housing. Identification of specific goals and actions
to address identified impediments as well as ways to affirmatively further fair housing in the
area.
Pasco continues to expand and support activities that affirmatively further fair housing by implementing
the recommended actions of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Plan https://www.pasco-
wa.gov/DocumentCenter/View/2904/Tricities-analysis-of-fair-housing?bidld= . In 2020,the City of Pasco
actively supported fair housing by partnering with local service providers to provide additional
counseling for first time homebuyers, posting National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) posters in English
and Spanish in various locations, and post Fair Housing information on the City's website at
http://www.pasco-wa.gov/index.aspx?NID=187 .The City employs bi-lingual staff that is available to
assist the public with many of their housing and other needs, and participates in the Language Line.

Notes
1 Also, additional funds may have been available from prior years.
2 The return of grant funds is not reflected in these expenditures.
3 Derived by dividing annual expenditures for low-and moderate-income activities by the total expenditures for all activities (excluding planning and administration,
except when State planning activities have a national objective) during the program year.
4 For entitlement communities, these data are only for those activities that directly benefit low- and moderate-income persons or households. They do not include
data for activities that provide assistance to low- and moderate-income persons on an area basis, activities that aid in the prevention and elimination of slums and
blight, and activities that address urgent needs. For states, these data are reported for all activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons or households, aid
in the prevention and elimination of slums and blight, and address urgent needs.
5 This number represents the total number of persons/households for whom services/facilities were available for [in many cases] multiple area benefit activities as
reported by grantees. A service or facility meeting the national objective of benefiting low- and moderate-income persons on an area basis is available to all residents
of the area served by the activity. If one or more activities had the same or overlapping service areas, the number of persons served by each activity was used to
calculate the total number served; e.g., if two activities providing different services had the same service area, the number of persons in the service area would be
counted twice; once for each activity.

Subject: Code Amendment: Duplex, Triplex and Courtyard Apartments (CA 2020-001)
Background
The Department of Community and Economic Development was authorized in September 2019 by
the Pasco City Council to explore actions that would increase residential building capacities as
approved through Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1923 ("HB 1923"). Staff was notified in
November 2019 that our pursuit of three actions related to HB 1923 were awarded grant funding
by the Washington State Department of Commerce.The purpose of this staff report is to summarize
staff efforts on the following item:
Action 1: Authorize at least one duplex, triplex or courtyard apartment on each parcel in one
more residential zoning districts.
To date, this item has been shared with the Planning Commission at six prior meetings, including
four public hearings. Several of those discussions included background information on Pasco's
existing housing supply, housing constraints and density gaps.The proposed amendment before the
Planning Commission addresses the need for more housing opportunities and options, along with
meeting the growth demands as identified in the 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan.
Planning Commissioners provided input and feedback, including questions on the proposed
scenarios presented by staff. These included the how other jurisdictions are complying with HB
1923, the benefits and barriers of allowing units "by-right" vs requiring a special permit and the
implications of lot coverage flexibilities for multi-family units. Staff has conducted a high-level
review of jurisdictions responses and methods to implement HB 1923 and has provided them for
your review below.
Implementation Examples
Nineteen cities were granted funding awards from the Washington State Department of Commerce
to explore HB 1923 amendments specifically on authorizing duplexes, triplexes and courtyard
apartments. The examples of where (which zones) and how (development standards) vary across
jurisdictions, noting that each has placed emphasis on adopting options that are relevant for their
respective communities.
Examples:
• Bremerton (pop 41,405) allows duplexes in their Low-Density Residential lands within 500 feet
of a commercial zoning district;
1
• Port Angeles(pop 20,229) allows duplexes in every residential zoning district without specific
design requirements, and has an overlay zone for multi-family housing;
• Everett (pop 111,475) allows duplexes in most residential zones that incorporates specific
design features(entries,windows, doorways)that vary based on location and neighborhood.
Everett also allows triplexes and fourplexes and has incorporated varying lot sizes;
• Mount Vernon (pop 36,006) allows duplexes in all residential zoning districts but does limit
the percentage of duplexes to 20%for any proposed subdivision;
• Olympia (pop 52,882) recently adopted an ordinance that allows multi-family housing in all
residential zones except those with sensitive or designated habitat areas;
• Wenatchee (pop 34,360) allows duplexes,triplexes and courtyard apartments allows in most
residential zones and mixed use (residential/commercial) areas with applicable and varying
development standards related to off-street parking, site design and architectural features
The Pasco Municipal Code provides general requirements for design and site standards in PMC
25.175 and PMC 25.165.100. Staff has also included location and development standard
considerations for adopting "missing middle" housing. These were provided by the Washington
State Department of Commerce as part of their Affordable Housing and Planning resources
guidance. They have identified the following as important factors when implementing HB 1923:
Location:
• Near public transit
• Access to services and amenities
• Parks
• Schools
Development Standards:
• Requiring lot size minimums larger than what is required for detached dwellings limit land
supply
• Higher lot coverage
• Reduced setbacks
Reference Items
The proposals shared with the Planning Commission at the February 2021 meeting also included
modifications to development standards within the impacted residential zoning districts. Staff has
proposed to modify the maximum building height and lot coverages. The descriptions of each is
provided for your information below.
• Lot Coverage: percentage of the lot area covered by all buildings, including accessory buildings
and patio covers or sunscreen;
2
• Height: the vertical distance from grade plane to the average height of the highest roof surface;
The proposal removed the lot coverage maximum for the R-2, R-3 and R-4 zoning districts for multi-
family housing. Rather than establishing a maximum (currently 40-60%), staff proposes to let that
be determined by the parking and setback requirements. PMC 25.185.170 requires each residential
unit to provide two-off street parking spaces.
Staff is also providing utility(transportation and sewer) estimates to assist the Planning Commission
with reviewing the proposal. To validate these estimates, City staff refers to the Institute of
Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual (10' Edition). Below is an example for evaluating
one single-family (detached) vs multi-family housing.
Development Type Daily Trips AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour
4 SFDUs (Detached) 37.76 2.96 3.96
4 Units (Multi-family) 29.28 1.84 2.24
The ITE estimates that four detached single-family homes would generate just under 38 daily trips,
compared with 29 for four multi-family units. The ITE Trip Generate Manual identifies that single-
family detached units had the highest trip generation rate per dwelling unit of all residential uses
because they were larger in size and had more residentials and vehicles per unit than other
residential land uses.
As mentioned in prior meetings, staff has also confirmed that the proposed amendment (CA2020-
001) aligns with and will not conflict with ongoing utility planning efforts, including the 2020
Comprehensive Sewer Plan Addendum. In 2019, less than 3% of all sewer connections in the city
were for multi-family housing units. Over 90% belonged to single-family and the remaining for
commercial and other users.

Table 1 and Table 2 are from the February 2021 Planning Commission options presented by staff.
After evaluation of the options presented, the drafts for your review represent modest and
meaningful revisions to the Pasco Municipal Code that begin to address the Comprehensive Plan
Goals and Policies, City Council Goals and can be implemented by staff.
The Housing Action/Assessment Plan to begin this year will likely take this effort and further
evaluate how the City of Pasco can move forward with the affordable housing challenges facing the
region.
Environmental Determination and Public Notice
The City (Lead Agency) issued the Environmental (SEPA) Determination of Non-Significance on
December 21, 2020 indicating that the proposal does not have a probable significant adverse
impact on the environment.
Public notice was distributed and published in the Tri-City Herald as required by Pasco Municipal
Code (PMC 25.210.040). As of 3/8/2021, no public comments have been received.
RECOMMENDATION
MOTION: I move to close the public hearing on the proposed code amendment and set April 16,
2021 as the date for deliberations and the development of a recommendation for the City Council.

TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Jeffrey B.Adams,Associate Planner
Subject: Code Amendment: Mini-Storage in C-1; CR Zoning Districts (CA 2021-003)
Background
Mini-storage facilities are a conditional use that may be permitted in the C-1 and CR zoning districts by Special
Permit.
According to PMC 25.105.020(1) "Permitted uses," all uses allowed in the C-1 district are allowed in the CR
zoning district; and as per Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) 25.85.040(4) "Permitted conditional uses," Mini-
storage facilities as defined under PMC 25.15.160 are allowed in the C-1 zoning district by Special Permit
review. As such, Mini-storage facilities as defined under PMC 25.15.160 would also be allowed in the CR
zoning district by Special Permit review.
Special Permit reviews and determinations are made based upon the criteria listed in PMC Section
25.200.080.
These criteria are as follows:
(1) The proposal is in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives, maps and/or narrative text of
the Comprehensive Plan;
(2) The proposal will adversely affect public infrastructure;
(3) The proposal will be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with the existing or
intended character of the general vicinity;
(4) The location and height of proposed structures and the site design will discourage the
development of permitted uses on property in the general vicinity or impair the value thereof;
(5) The operations in connection with the proposal will be more objectionable to nearby properties
by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic, or flashing lights than would be the operation of
any permitted uses within the district; and
(6) The proposal will endanger the public health or safety if located and developed where proposed,
or in any way will become a nuisance to uses permitted in the district.
If it can be demonstrated that a mini-storage facility will be in accordance with the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan, that it will be maintained in harmony with the existing or intended character of the
surrounding neighborhood, and that it generally supports the other criteria of PMC Section 25.200.080, a
Special Permit may be approved.
On February 18,2021 the Planning Commission reviewed two proposed code amendment options as follows:
Option#1: Disallow Mini-storage uses in C-1 and CR zoning districts; (See Draft Ordinance "A") or,
Option #2: Codify the City's traditional approach by specifically requiring sight-screen such storage facilities
from street frontages and residential neighborhoods by placing them behind retail commercial uses (See
Draft Ordinance "B").

Staff Points of Discussion:
• Should not be as easy to get a Special Permit approved for mini-storage in primary retail zoning
district; (Court Street; Road 68; Road 100 area).
• Retail requires high visibility, and high traffic volumes for success;
• Mini-storage facilities placed in commercial zoning districts have the potential of using up the high
visibility freeway and arterial corridor frontage space, and discouraging the high traffic volumes
required for retail.
• Pasco has a very limited supply of Commercial zoning.
• Other considerations include
o size limits
o design standards
0 on-site supervision (discussed after the meeting)
• with the switch to the Hearing Examiner. . . if the Code does not require something to happen, it will
not happen on her decision,
• code takes on added importance now; . . .
• the application of local discretion is more finite than it used to be;
• if it isn't in code, it is not backed up sufficiently for the Hearing Examiner to . . require
o a certain percentage of retail, or
o a certain design standard
• it is very important to . . . get the regulations down in writing.
Commissioner comments:
Cochran:
• West Pasco . . . is becoming the "Mini-storage Track Bar" . . . particularly by the freeway. . .
• [do] not want to limit the opportunity to have [mini-storage] types of business, but . . .
• there should be steps taken to minimize
o aesthetic impacts,
o traffic impacts . . .
• suggestions like
o surrounding them with retail . . .
o building them inside of [commercial] perimeters so that . . . you don't get something you
might expect at the airport but not in some of these residential and . . . commercial areas . .
o limit the size
o build things around them that are barriers . . .
o integrate with retail;

• "Balance"
• not turn . . . parts of the city into "Storage Farms" . . .
• facilities becoming pretty large . . . multiplying like Turtles."
Campos:
• It . . . goes against what . . . commercial areas . . . should be;
0 high-traffic areas . . .
0 really good retail zoning areas that will
0 attract traffic rather than . . . low-volume . . . places like [mini-storage]; . . .take a look at[the

Myrum:
• commercial real estate is a critical resource for the city in terms of our
o tax base and
o economic growth.
• "I think there is . . . a middle ground approach, based on size or other restrictions; there can be a . .
happy medium where we can
o preserve space, but
o recognize that commercial corridors are the most convenient
• avoid problems down the road.
• where we say that such facilities have to be located [away] from street frontage, does that address
the "space" issue, of commercial retail . . .
• "masking these facilities but still using up that critical space, . . .
• we still have that same issue of eating up that valuable real estate
Bowers:
• ". . .leaning toward Option 2"
Hendler:
• 1 agree with the issue around storage and their location
• [unit] east of [Road] 68 . . . Chapel Hill [Boulevard]; that was a great piece of property and frankly it
was disappointing to me to see storage go where there was otherwise a great opportunity for
commercial retail uses;
• it is that kind of thing we need to protect ourselves . . .from happening;
• we need to be a little more critical about where these . . . storage facilities go ."
Analysis:
Examples of attempting to compatibly place mini-storage facilities within the 1-182 Corridor include the
Burden/Road 60 storage facility and the Chapel Hill Self-Storage facility where retail/office space has been
used as a buffer along street frontages. As mentioned in the Planning Commission discussion, other mini-
storage facilities have been placed around town without such considerations.

The City of Lynwood WA refers to mini-Storage Facilities as "Self-Service Storage Facilities" and regulates
them in Lynwood Municipal Code 21.46.119(B) as follows:
21.46.119 Limitations on uses—Other uses.
B. Self-Service Storage Facilities in Commercial Zones. Self-service storage facilities have characteristics in
common with both commercial uses and industrial uses. This subsection provides regulations to
appropriately site self-service storage facilities in certain commercial zones while maintaining the desired
character and function of those zones. In general, self-service storage facilities generate low levels of
vehicular and pedestrian activity and do not contribute to the vitality of a commercial area compared to other
commercial uses. Historically self-service storage facilities have visually resembled industrial facilities, but
some recently constructed facilities have featured designs compatible with higher quality commercial
development. If designed appropriately as stand-alone multistory structures that emulate the exterior
architecture of residential or multifamily or as components located within larger multistory office or
residential structures, self-storage uses may be located without adversely impacting comprehensive plan
goals, zoning district intent or the surrounding neighborhood. Thus, self-storage uses in commercial zones
shall adhere to the additional development standards articulated in this chapter.
1. Use Regulations.
a.Where this chapter provides for self-service storage facilities upon property zoned CG, self-service
storage facilities are permitted only within multistory structures designed to emulate multifamily or
office buildings.
4
b.Where this chapter provides for self-service storage facilities upon property zoned CC or ACC,self-
service storage facilities are permitted as an accessory use, and may occupy no more than 20 percent
of the property's building floor area.With the exception of the business office and loading/unloading
facilities, self-service storage facilities shall not be permitted upon the ground or street level of the
multistory building.
c. Permitted Activities. The only activities permitted in individual storage units shall be the rental of
the unit and the pickup and deposit of goods and/or property in dead storage.Storage units shall not
be used for activities such as:
i. Residences, offices, workshops, studios, hobby or rehearsal areas;
ii. Manufacturing, fabrication, or processing of goods, service or repair of vehicles, engines,
appliances, or other electrical equipment, or any other industrial activity;
iii.Conducting retail sales of any kind including garage or retail sales or auctions or to conduct
any other commercial activity;
iv. Storage of flammable, perishable or hazardous materials or the keeping of animals.
d. Accessory Uses. Accessory uses such as the rental of trucks, trailers or moving equipment (hand
carts,jacks and lifts, etc.), the installation of trailer hitches, or the sale of boxes or packing materials
are permitted only if they are otherwise permitted in the zone in which the facility is located, and
shall meet all use and development standards of the commercial zone.
e. Hours of Operation.
i. Self-service storage facilities located in commercial zones shall not operate or allow tenant
access between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. if the site abuts a Class A EDNA, as
defined in Chapter 10.12 LMC, Noise.
ii.The director may permit extended hours of operation if the facility operator demonstrates
that due to facility design or other factors the facility will not have significant noise impacts
on the adjacent Class A EDNA property.The burden of proof is on the facility operator.
iii. Nothing in this section overrides or supersedes any requirement of Chapter 10.12 LMC
and all restrictions of Chapter 10.12 LMC apply even during allowed hours of operation.
f. Outdoor Storage Prohibited. Within commercial zones, all goods and property stored in a self-
service facility shall be stored in an enclosed building. No outdoor storage of boats, RVs, vehicles,
etc., or storage in outdoor storage pods or shipping containers is permitted.
2. Development Standards.All development standards of the commercial zone in which the facility is located
apply unless the standard is superseded by regulations in this subsection.
a. Storage Units.
i.All storage units shall gain access from the interior of the building(s) or site—no unit doors
may face the street or be visible from off the property.
ii. If the facility abuts residentially zoned property, the facility loading bays, docks or doors
shall not be visible from the residential property.
iii. Electrical service to storage units shall be for lighting and climate control only. No electrical
outlets are permitted inside individual storage units. Lighting fixtures and switches shall be
of a secure design that will not allow tapping the fixtures for other purposes.
5
b.Additional standards for self-service storage facilities in the commercial zones as outlined in Table
21.46.12 subject to the following limitations:
i.The facility shall be located in a multistory building.
ii. Loading docks, entrances or bays may not be located on a street-facing side of a building
and shall be screened from residential uses.
3. Design Standards. Design review shall be required for all new construction and expansions of self-service
storage buildings to ensure the development has a high quality design and is appropriate to the desired
character of the zone it is located in and the adjacent neighborhood. Self-service storage facilities shall meet
the requirements of Chapter 21.25 LMC, Project Design Review, and the following requirements:
a. Fences and Walls. Fences and walls including entry gates shall be constructed of high quality
materials and shall be compatible with the design and materials of the building(s)and site.The design
guidelines for fences and walls and the following provisions shall apply to self-service storage
facilities:
i. Decorative metal or wrought iron fences are preferred.
ii. Chain-link (or similar) fences, barbed or razor wire fences and walls made of precast
concrete blocks are prohibited.
iii. Fences or walls are not allowed between the main or front building on the site and the
street.
iv. Street-front landscape areas required by the design guidelines or elsewhere in this code
shall not be fenced.
b. Ground and Upper Floor Facades. Ground floor and upper floor facades for self-service storage
facility buildings in commercial zones shall meet the following requirements:
i. The ground floor transparency requirements of the commercial districts design guidelines
shall also apply to each floor above the ground floor of a self-service storage facility building
that is visible from a street or from a residentially zoned area.
ii. The ground floor on rear or side facades facing residential areas do not have to meet
subsection (13)(3)(b)(i) of this section if they are effectively visually screened from view from
the street or nearby residential uses by a transition or landscape strip.
iii.The design guidelines fortreating blank walls and for opaque walls in the design shall apply
to the upper floors of self-service storage buildings.
iv. In order to promote visual compatibility with commercial and multifamily development
allowed in commercial zones, self-service storage facilities buildings shall incorporate
architectural and design features common to commercial and/or multifamily development.
Examples of such architectural and design features include: massing, proportion; facade
modulation; exterior building materials and detailing; varied roof line; pedestrian scale;
fenestration; repetition; etc.
c.Street Entrance.The business office of self-service storage facilities in commercial zones shall have
a pedestrian entrance facing the street.
i.This entrance shall be considered the "main" or"principal" entrance to the building for the
purpose of the design guidelines or other sections of this chapter even if the majority of
customers using the facility enter through loading docks, bays, doors or other side or rear
entrances.
6
ii.This entrance shall meet the design guideline prominent entrance requirements.
d. Materials.Self-service storage facility buildings shall be surfaced in high-quality materials. Unfaced
concrete block, painted masonry,tilt-up and precast concrete panels and prefabricated metal sheets
are prohibited. Prefabricated buildings are not allowed.
e. Design Departures. In addition to the requirements for design departures in Chapter 21.25 LMC,
the director shall find that a request for approval of a design departure will not cause the
development or the use to be inconsistent with the desired character of the zone on which it is
located or have negative impacts on surrounding uses.
Summary
As discussed above the Special Permit review process allows the Hearing Examiner to make a determination
on whether or not a proposed use will be or can be maintained in harmony with the existing or intended
character of the neighborhood. It is through this process that the Hearing Examiner may review approval
conditions that would ensure the proposal will be established and operated in harmony with the
neighborhood.
Given the above, however,the Hearing Examiner is unlikely to approve conditions unrelated to health/safety
or unsupported by Code language.As such, it is important to emphasize why using C-1/CR zoning districts for
storage facilities is not good for either the storage units or the retail uses:
1) Retail uses do better in clusters—relying on synergistic relationships with other retail uses to draw
customers.
2) Retail uses do best in high-visibility locations near major routes—freeways, arterials—to attract the
attention of customers.
3) As a ratio of available zoning,the City has rather limited amount of retail zoning area.
4) Mini-storage uses typically have very low traffic volumes, thus discouraging the kind of volume
required for successful retail uses.
5) Mini-storage uses are typically utilitarian in nature and appearance.
Therefore, it is important that decisions concerning the placement of mini-storage facilities be codified in
such a way as to promote compatibility.
MOTION
I move the Planning Commission continue the hearing to the April 15, 2021 meeting where the Planning
Commission will discuss possible regulations for Mini-storage uses in C-1 and CR zoning districts.

MEMORANDUM TO PLANNING COMMISSION
Citygf PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
1�IPasco City Hall — 525 North Third Avenue—Council Chambers
DATE: THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 2021
6:30 PM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Jacob B. Gonzalez, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: MF# CA 2021-005 Lots without Public Street Frontage
Background
The purpose of this code amendment is to refine the requirements for residential lots without
public street frontage. The Planning Commission may remember this item which received
recommendation for approval on May 16, 2019. The Pasco City Council adopted Ordinance No
4444 on July 1, 2019. City Council had asked staff to provide an update on the new regulation
after one year in place to demonstrate how the new provision was being utilized and to make
refinement, if necessary.
The City has seen an interest in the use of the Lots without Public Frontage regulations, as it
allows for development on lots with irregular shapes, sizes and surroundings. As of March 01,
2021, the City has had two completed applications and developments (in progress) of the
ordinance:
• Road 56 & W Sylvester (Joel's Addition)
• Cedar Avenue (Habitat for Humanity)
The City estimates that the using the ordinance, both developments were able to construct a
total of 9 additional dwellings that otherwise would not have been permitted. Staff considers
the new option a success and has proposed minor refinements to the ordinance to ensure it is
used as intended and consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and City
Council Goals.
Policy Guidance
• Land Use Policy LU-2-F
o Discourage developments dependent on septic systems and at a density below the
minimum, to sustain urban levels of service
• Land Use Policy LU-4-E
o Encourage the orderly development of land by emphasizing connectivity and
efficiency of the transportation network
• Housing Policy H-4-C
1
o Increase housing supply and diversity through appropriate and flexible development
standards
• Utilities Policy UT-1-A
o Ensure that public water and sewer services are available concurrently with
development in the urban growth area
• Capital Facilities Policy CF-2-A
o Encourage growth in geographic areas where services and utilities can be extended
in an orderly, progressive and efficient manner
• Implementation Policy IM-1-A
o Maintain codes, standards and guidelines, which are clear, concise and objective
Proposed Updates and Revisions
City Planning staff has consulted with the Pasco Fire Department, Public Works and
Building/Engineering Divisions for the revisions below. Staff has also identified language that
may provide for added clarity for applicants.
Pavement and Easement Width Minimums
The current minimum requirement for pavement and easement widths are 12' and 14' for one
dwelling (lot) and increase when additional dwellings are proposed. Staff is proposing to
increase and combine the pavement/easement requirements to 20'. The increase ensures that
the shared access has enough area for fire and emergency response. Staff notes that the two
sites using the shared frontage ordinance so far have exceeded the minimums established in
the PMC. This revision would mitigate potential conflicts for future proposals.
Public Frontage Width
Staff proposes to remove the reference to minimum frontage as this is addressed through the
underlying residential zoning district development standards. The current language is not
necessary, and the proposal will eliminate future conflicts.
Pavement Sections
The PMC currently requires pavement sections of the shared frontage access to be approved by
the Pasco Public Works and Fire Departments. This is not needed, as all improvements within
the public right-of-way or for private development are specified in the City Design and
Constructions Standards and Specifications, which were adopted by the Pasco City Council on
October 7, 2019.
Applicable Residential Zoning Districts
When the Ordinance was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission and adopted
by City Council, the intent was made that this option was to be used to maximize land use
efficiency and densities and only applicable where lots had existing topographic, geographic or
challenging surroundings. To ensure consistency with the original intent of the ordinance, and
2
alignment with Comprehensive Plan and Council Goals, staff is proposing that the RS-20
residential zoning district be removed as an option.
Application Requirements
The current language includes references to characteristics, restrictions and standards. Staff is
proposing to more clearly identify how applicants can apply for and provide justification for this
option.
Additional Revisions
Staff has included all proposed changes and revisions in Exhibit #A of the Planning Commission
staff report.
Environmental Determination and Public Notice
The City (Lead Agency) issued the Environmental (SEPA) Determination of Non-Significance on
March 03, 2021 indicating that the proposal does not have a probable significant adverse
impact on the environment.
Public notice was distributed and published in the Tri-City Herald on Sunday, March 7, 2021.
RECOMMENDATION
MOTION: I move to close the public hearing on the proposed code amendment and set April
16, 2021 as the date for deliberations and the development of a recommendation for the City
Council.

MASTER FILE#: CA 2019-002
APPLICANT: City of Pasco
525 N 3d Ave
Pasco WA 99301
REQUEST: Code Amendment:Title 17-Sign Code Update
BACKGROUND
The U.S. Supreme Court's 2015 decision in Reed v. Town of Gilbert requires content neutrality in the
regulation of temporary directional signs: In a nutshell,
I. A regulation is probably unconstitutional if you have to read a sign to be able to distinguish the type
of sign being regulated.
II. A regulation is probably unconstitutional if you have to know the author of a sign's message in order
to classify the sign type being regulated.
The new standard is that any law or regulation of speech that is based on the content of the speech is
presumptively unconstitutional and subject to "strict scrutiny," which requires a regulation to be "narrowly
tailored to serve a compelling governmental interest" (Such scrutiny almost always runs aground in
challenges to local regulations).
To sum, a sign code will be subject to "strict scrutiny"judicial review if it applies different standards based
on a sign's content (i.e.,what is written or portrayed on the sign). This will affect political signs in residential
areas,temporary signs, and informational signs. However, recent court decisions have been more lenient in
this regard for"commercial" messages.
City Response
The City of Pasco recently contracted with a private consultant to update its Sign Code due to the U.S.
Supreme Court's 2015 decision in Reed v. Town of Gilbert regarding regulation of temporary directional signs.
As part of this update process, the consultant has been in the process of reexamining signage regulations
overall for clarity, efficiency, and enforceability.
Phase I: Reed Compliance and General Code Clean-Up
The project began by consultant reviewing the current sign regulations, gathering information about the
City's sign review process, asking questions about the treatment of abandoned and nonconforming signs,
reviewing any information the City had collected about variance requests and code interpretations or
clarifications related to signs, and checking for any recent state and federal case law related to Reed v. Town
of Gilbert.
1
Consultant also had a preliminary discussion with the City's legal counsel regarding key aspects of their
interpretation of Reed.The goal of this conversation was to ensure that either the revised sign code complies
with their understanding of the case,or where consultant suggested a different approach,a legal explanation
could be prepared to support that approach,which was discussed during the staff review phase.
Following consultant's conversation with staff and legal counsel about the content and use of the current
sign regulations,consultant prepared an annotated outline of the updated and reorganized sign code for staff
review and discussion.
Consultant has reviewed and updated the draft Title 17 "Sign Code Update Phase 1: Reed Compliance"
ordinance to address Planning Commission questions, comments and concerns presented at the February
18, 2021 Planning Commission workshop.A copy of the updated draft Sign Code, along with Staff comments
has been included as a reference in this packet.
Action
Staff requests the Planning Commission review the Consultant "Punch List" consultant comments/questions
and Staff responses for discussion.
2
Pasco Sign Code Punch List: March 8, 2021
1. 17.10.020(2)(c): how does the City address windows and doors when calculating facade area?
Staff: "The surface area of a wall shall be determined by measuring the building height and
multiplying it by the length of the wall, without deduction for doors and windows." Good
2. 17.10.030: Clarify definition of awning sign—see images in draft.
Staff: "Awning sign" means a sign that is [printed or painted on, permanently affixed to, or] hung
from and below a building awning or canopy that may extend downwards under the awning or
canopy and over the walkway or parking area.
3. 17.10.030: GFA, Does the City have a definition of gross floor area that is commonly used or should
we suggest one?
Staff: "Gross floor area" means the sum of the gross horizontal areas of the several floors of all
buildings on the lot, measured from the exterior faces of exterior walls or from the center line of
walls separating two buildings.
4. 17.10.030: Street, should the highlighted phrase be deleted?
Staff: "Street" means a public or private way open to general public use, including all classes of
roadways and major internal circulation corridors within parking lots, and excepting alleys,
driveways, and interstate freeways.

Staff: No.
d. When should a permit be required, change of copy?
Staff: Never.
8. 17.20.030, EMCs (4) Display Brightness—are the proposed brightness standards acceptable?
Consultant Comment: "WSDOT illumination standards are 8,000 daytime and 1,000 nits between
dusk and dawn. The United States Sign Council recommends 750 nits at night.The International
Sign Association recommends 0.3 footcandles over ambient lighting at night.
Definitions: "one nit" _ "one candela per square meter"
"one candela" =The total amount of light coming out of one candle at its source, as
measured from inside a cube with a total surface area measuring one meter by one
meter.
Staff: Increase daylight nits to 8,000; 750 between dusk and dawn, as per WSDOT.
9. 17.25.010(2)Table 17.25.1

in draft)
Staff: Combine and regulate the permitted signage by the square footage of the use.
10. 17.25.020(1), Generally Applicable Standards for Office and Commercial Districts
a. Is the maximum total sign area for freestanding signs calculated by lot frontage or building
frontage?
Staff: Lot frontage; larger lots have potential for larger buildings, but not vice-versa.
b. How does the City want to approach establishing a preference for monument signs?
1) [Prohibit New Pole signs in Broadmoor Planning Area?]: Discussion;
2) Allow square-foot bonus for monument signs
11. Table 17.25.2, Permanent Signs in Office and Commercial Districts

Staff: Limit number to one per front yard
14. Table 17.35.2,Temporary Signs for Active Real Estate Listings: Does the City want to require a sign
permit if a property owner uses a permanent wall sign for a real estate listing?
Staff: [I believe these refer to permanent "apartment for rent"type signs affixed to an apartment
building(?)]; of so, permit required for initial construction; however change of copy would still be
exempt.
15. 17.30.060,Temporary Event and Special Event Signage

make the appropriate speed and distance calculations for copy lettering size. Discusson?
c. Need a clarification about the permitted size of yard sale signs.
Staff:Two square feet per sign face.
16. 17.40.010, Off-Premises Directional Signs: are the revisions to this section acceptable?
P. 48 (c) "Located [within?]five miles [change to 1.5 miles?] of the location of the existing or
proposed sign kiosk, and . . ."
Staff: Looks good; need to reference the (Special Permit?) review process.
17. 17.40.020, Individual Directional Signs: question in draft about kiosk versus individual sign.
Staff: conditions "a" through "e" seem sufficient to filter out those who can use this section.
18. 17.45, Nonconforming Signs: does the City want to maintain the current approach or replace it with
the proposed approach?
Staff: "Upon change of use of a business or premises, a nonconforming sign shall be brought into

2021
Chapter 17.05 Purpose and Intent
17.05.010 Short Title
This title shall be known as the Sign Code of the City of Pasco.
17.05.020 Purpose
(1) The overall purpose of this title is
(a) to enhance and maintain the aesthetic character,
(b) to promote the public health, safety and general welfare, and
(c) to increase the effectiveness of visual communication in the City.
(2) This title is also intended to avoid visual clutter that may adversely impact traffic and
pedestrian safety or that may be adverse to property values, business opportunities, and the
City's overall appearance.
(1) The purpose of this title is implemented by imposing reasonable restrictions on the design,
construction, use, maintenance and quality of materials of all signs and sign structures
without regard to the protected content with restrictions that are narrowly tailored to serve
these goals while leaving open ample alternative channels for communication of information.
17.05.030 Interests
The City has a legitimate, important, substantial, or compelling interest in:
(1) Preventing the proliferation, increasing size and dimensions, and visual intrusiveness of
signs (also known as "sign clutter") that tends to result from property owners competing for
the attention of passing motorists and pedestrians, because sign clutter:
(a) Creates visual distraction and obstructs views, potentially creating safety hazards for
motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians;
(b) May involve physical obstruction of streets, sidewalks, or trails, creating public safety
hazards;
(c) Degrades the aesthetic quality of the City, making the City a less attractive place for
residents, business owners, visitors, and private investment; and
(d) Dilutes or obscures messages on individual signs due to the increasing competition for
attention.
(2) Maintaining and enhancing the character of the [identify commercial areas'] which includes
resources of exceptional quality and vibrancy to the community as a whole.
(3) Protecting the health of the City's tree canopy, an important community asset that
contributes to the character, environmental quality, and economic health of the City and the
region.
(4) Maintaining a high-quality aesthetic environment to protect and enhance property values,
leverage public investments in streets, sidewalks, trails, plazas, parks, open space, civic
buildings, and landscaping, and enhance community pride.
' This interest statement is a placeholder for the Phase 2 updates.
71 Pasco Sign Code Update Revised Planning Comm. Review Draft March
2021
(5) Protecting minors from speech that is harmful to them according to state or federal law, by
preventing such speech in places that are accessible to and used by minors.
17.05.040 Findings
The City finds that:
(1) Content-neutrality, viewpoint neutrality, and fundamental fairness in regulation and review
are essential to ensuring an appropriate balance between the important, substantial, and
compelling interests set out in this article and the constitutionally protected right to free
expression.
(2) The regulations set out in this article are unrelated to the suppression of constitutionally
protected free expression, do not relate to the content of protected messages that may be
displayed on signs, and do not relate to the viewpoint of individual speakers.
(3) The incidental restriction on the freedom of speech that may result from the regulation of
signs pursuant to this article is no greater than is essential to the furtherance of the important,
substantial, and compelling interests that are set out in this article.
(4) Regulation of the location, number, materials, height, sign area, form, and duration of display
of temporary signs is essential to preventing sign clutter.
(5) Temporary signs may be degraded, damaged, moved, or destroyed by wind, rain, snow, ice,
and sun, and after such degradation, damage, movement, or destruction, such signs harm
the safety and aesthetics of the public on City's streets or sidewalks if they are not removed.
(6) Certain classifications of speech are not constitutionally protected due to the harm that they
cause to individuals or the community.
17.05.050 Savings and Severability
If any clause, section, or other part of the application of these sign regulations shall be held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or invalid, it is the intent of the City that such
clause, section, or specific regulation be considered eliminated and not affecting the validity of
the remaining clauses, sections, or specific regulations that shall remain in full force and effect.
17.05.060 Noncommercial Message Substitution
Noncommercial copy may be substituted for commercial copy or other noncommercial copy on
any legal sign, notwithstanding any other provision of this article.
17.05.070 Conflicting Provisions
If any provision of this title is found to be in conflict with any provision of any zoning, building, fire,
safety or health ordinance or code of the City, the provision that establishes the more restrictive
standard shall prevail.
17.05.080 Nonliability
This title shall not be construed to relieve from or lessen the responsibility or liability of any party
owning, operating, constructing, installing, altering, removing, moving or controlling any sign in
the City. Neither the City nor any agent thereof shall be held as assuming any liability by reason
of permit or of the inspection authorized hereunder or certificate of inspection issued by the City
for damages to person or property injured or damaged either in person or property caused by any
defect therein.

This section applies to all sign types and classifications.
(2) Building Frontage
(a) Building frontage (or fagade) is the wall of the primary
building that faces the street abutting the property.
Facade area is measured as width x height, as shown }�
in Figure 1. If the primary building is located on a i
corner lot, the frontage may be any or all wall(s) of the G j
primary building that face a street.
(b) Accessory structures shall not be included in the
calculation of maximum signage. Wall signs may be
affixed to accessory structures; here thisds ,thy

shall be—dedUGtev temrrthe -tetalaMGURt Gf ClgRago
permitted OR the nr„no,-+„ Figure 1:Building facade area
(c) The surface area of a wall shall be determined by measuring the building height and
multiplying it by the length of the wall, without deduction for doors and windowsl[EAG1].
"False fronts" and mansard roofs shall not be included when calculating the total area
of a wall.
(3) Clearance
Clearance is the area under the sign that shall be free of obstructions to allow passage of
pedestrians and vehicles. Clearance for pole and projecting signs shall be measured as the
smallest vertical distance between the sign and the finished grade directly underneath the
sign at the lowest point of the sign structure, including any framework or other structural
elements.
(4) Height
(a) Sign height is measured from the average finished grade at the sign foundation to the
top of the highest attached component of the sign.
(b) When the existing finished grade at the point of measurement is lower than the average
elevation of the adjacent street finished grade parallel to the location where the sign will
be installed, that portion of the sign below the street shall not be included in determining
the sign's overall height. If a sign is located on a mound, berm, or other raised area for
the sole purpose of increasing the height of the sign, the height of the mound, berm, or
other raised area shall be included in the height of the sign

Property
(5) SetbackEdge of Sign Line
Setback is measured at that portion of any sign or sign
structure that is closest to the property line.
(6) Sign Area `
I I
(a) Sign area shall be established by the smallest
rectangle enclosing the extreme limits of the letter Public Right-of-Way
module or advertising message being measured.
Setback
(i) Individual letter signs using a wall as the
background without added decoration or
change in wall color shall be calculated by Figure 2:Setback measurement
measuring the perimeter enclosing each
letter. The combined total area of each individual letter shall be considered the total
area of the sign.
(ii) Sign copy mounted, affixed, or painted on a background panel or area distinctively
painted, textured, or constructed as a background for the sign copy, is measured
as that area contained within the sum of the smallest geometric figure that will
enclose both the sign copy and the background
(iii) Module signs consisting of more than one sign cabinet shall be computed by adding
together the total area of each module.
(iv) Window signs printed on a transparent film and affixed to a window pane shall be
measured as freestanding letters or logos, provided that the portion of the
transparent film around the perimeter of the sign message maintains the
transparent character of the window and does not contain any items in the sign
message.
(v) If elements of a sign are movable or flexible, such as a flag or banner, or if the sign
includes any permitted copy extensions, the measurement is taken when the
elements or extensions are fully extended and parallel to the plane of view.
(b) Sign area includes only one side of a freestanding double-faced sign, so the area of a
two-sided sign equals the area of one side.
(i) The second face may not exceed the area of the first face.
(ii) If an angle of 30° for a "V" sign is exceeded, the area of both sign faces shall be
included in the measurement of total sign area, except that the sign area for an A-
frame sign is measured on one face of the sign regardless of the distance between
the sign faces.
(c) Window sign area percentage is measured for each architecturally distinct window by
dividing the sign area by the window area
(d) Inflatables shall be measured by square feet of surface volume.
(e) The area of a spherical, cubical, or polyhedral sign equals 1/2 the total surface area.

Chapter 17.45 Nonconforming Signs
17.45.010 General
Every sign which by change of zoning district or by annexation of territory to the City becomes in
violation of, or does not conform to, the provisions of this title shall be removed or altered so as
to conform with the provisions of this title within five years from the effective date of such
amendment or change; except prohibited signs under PMC 17.15.040 shall be removed upon
written notification. [Ord. 3790 § 8, 2006; Code 1970 § 17.15.010.1
17.45.020 Maintenance
Nonconforming signs may be maintained, repaired and repainted without a permit or fee;
however, the sign, other than change of copy, may not be modified (unless the modification brings
the sign into compliance with this code), expanded, relocated, or structurally altered. Maintenance
excludes major structure repairs designed to extend the useful life of the nonconforming sign. If
the nonconforming sign is damaged by wind, fire, neglect, or by any other cause, and such
damage exceeds 60 percent of its replacement value, the nonconforming sign will be removed.
Upon change of use of a business or premises, a nonconforming sign shall be brought into
compliance with this code within 180 days. [Ord. 3790 § 8, 2006; Code 1970 § 17.15.020.]
17.45.030 Moving or Alterations
In such cases where a nonconforming sign is moved or changed, the sign shall be treated as a
new sign and shall be subject to the requirements of this title. [Ord. 3790 § 8, 2006; Code 1970 §
17.15.030.]
17.45.040 Appeal
The period specified in PMC 17.40.010 may be extended by the Hearing Examiner upon
application of the person maintaining such sign if the Hearing Examiner finds that such an
extension is necessary for the preservation of substantial property rights of the applicant. The
application for the extension shall be made in writing with the City Planner within 10 days after
notice to remove the sign has been issued by the Building Official. [Ord. 3790 § 8, 2006; Code
1970 § 17.15.040.]
17.45.050 Removal of Nonconforming Signs
If the provisions of PMC 17.40.010 are not complied with regarding removal or alteration of
nonconforming signs, and no appeal is made in accordance with PMC 17.40.040, the
nonconforming sign may be removed by the City, and the cost thereof shall be charged to the
owner or tenant. If the removal of any sign requires compensation in accordance with RCW
47.42.107, such sign may remain until the City orders compliance by written notice. [Ord. 3790 §
8, 2006; Code 1970 § 17.15.050.]
52 1 Pasco Sign Code Update Revised Planning Comm. Review Draft March
2021
Drafting Comment: We are proposing a new approach to nonconforming signs that recognizes
major and minor nonconformities with a goal of requiring greater compliance from changes to
signs with major nonconformities and allowing minor nonconformities to continue without much
change. This approach might be helpful in easing the impact of future changes to the sign code
as that City starts Phase II of this project.
17.45.060 Nonconformities
Where a lawful sign exists at the effective date of this article, or amendment of this article, that
would be illegal under the terms of this article, such sign may be continued so long as it remains
otherwise lawful, subject to the provisions of this section.
17.45.070 Classification of Nonconformities
There are two types of nonconforming signs: major and minor. Changes to each classification are
governed by Sections 17.08.080 and 090.
(1) Major Nonconforming Signs
Major nonconforming signs are those signs for which the nonconformity generates a
nuisance per se, violates City sign policy, or is incompatible with adjacent signs and/or the
adopted guiding principles such that public policy favors their elimination from the zone if
they are discontinued, abandoned, or destroyed. Major nonconforming signs include:
(a) Off-premises signs,
(b) Dangerous signs,
(c) Signs that exceed than the maximum height permitted in the zone district by 20% or
more,
(d) Nonconforming sign size;
(e) Nonconforming setback that encroaches a public right-of-way or utility easement
(f) Signs with nonconforming illumination, and
(g) Nonconforming sign types.
(2) Minor Nonconforming Signs
Minor nonconforming signs are any nonconforming signs that are not classified as major
nonconforming signs. Minor nonconforming signs include but are not limited to:
(a) Signs approved with a variance;
(b) Nonconforming setback that does not encroach a right-of-way or utility easement,
(c) Nonconforming height that is less than 20% of the maximum permitted, and
(d) Nonconforming separation.
17.45.080 Major Nonconformities
(1) A major nonconforming sign or sign structure may not be altered in any way that increases
its nonconformity.
(2) Any proposed change to a major nonconforming sign, excluding general repairs,
maintenance, and change to advertising copy that does not include replacing a static sign
with an EMD, shall require the sign to be brought into conformance with this article except
531 Pasco Sign Code Update Revised Planning Comm. Review Draft March
2021
that alterations may be made to a major nonconforming, permanent on-premises sign as
follows:
(a) Where the nonconformity is expressed as a measurement,
(i) The alteration must reduce the nonconformity by at least 50 percent. For example,
a nonconforming sign that is 10 feet over the maximum height for the district may
be altered if the height of the sign is also lowered by at least five feet; or
(ii) Where the sign can be made conforming with a change of up to 10 percent or 10
feet, the sign shall be brought into compliance. For example, a nonconforming sign
that is 8 feet away from compliance with a required setback shall be relocated and
brought into compliance unless there are other conditions on the site, unrelated to
the sign and not caused by the applicant, that prohibit compliance.
(b) Where the nonconformity is not expressed as a measurement, such as a sign type that
is no longer permitted in a zone district, alterations may be made as long as the sign
structure is kept at the same dimensions and in same the location as the sign was when
it became nonconforming. The sign and structure shall be fully maintained and
functional, free from all defects, and not exhibiting any signs of deferred maintenance,
deterioration, or abandonment. The city may require proof of maintenance for any
internal components, such as electrical components, or structural parts that are subject
to degradation from wind, weather, or other external causes of stress to the sign.
(c) Signs with multiple nonconformities may be altered provided that at least one
nonconformity meets the requirements of this section, and that none of the remaining
nonconformities are increased or expanded.
17.45.090 Minor Nonconformities
A minor nonconforming sign may be altered or replaced in a manner that conforms to this Code
while still maintaining the nonconforming element (e.g., measurement, location, design).
(1) The applicant will be required to show that the sign's minor nonconformity items were
permitted by the City and that the sign permit has been continuously maintained.
(2) Minor nonconforming signs that have not been continuously permitted shall be classified as
major nonconformities.
17.45.100 Sign Removal for Public Purposes
(1) Any nonconforming sign temporarily removed by a public utility company, the City, or any
governmental agency to accommodate repair, maintenance, or expansion operations may
be replaced, provided that there is no change in size, height, or location of the sign.
(2) If any sign is moved as a direct result of a governmental or utility project, it may be relocated
to a position determined by the city engineer to be appropriate in relation to the project, and
such a sign shall not be considered nonconforming for the reason of applicable separation
standards.
(3) No permit shall be required for such replacement.
17.45.110 Loss of Nonconforming Status
A nonconforming sign (both major and minor) shall lose their nonconforming designation if any of
the following apply:
54 1 Pasco Sign Code Update Revised Planning Comm. Review Draft March
2021
(1) The sign is removed, relocated, or replaced for any reason except towards compliance with
this article.
(2) If greater than 50 percent of a nonconforming sign is damaged by any means, as measured
by total replacement cost of both the sign and structure prior to such destruction, it shall be
considered destroyed and shall not be brought back into service or use except in conformity
with the provisions of this article.
(3) The sign is replaced in compliance with this article.
(4) The sign is abandoned pursuant to Section 1 7.xx.
17.45.120 Maintenance and Repair
(1) A nonconforming sign is subject to all requirements of this article regarding safety,
maintenance, and repair.
(2) When a sign permit has been obtained, temporary removal of any portion of a sign for repairs
or general maintenance shall not be considered to be in violation of this section, provided
that no alterations are made to the sign or sign structure. Should such sign or sign structure
be moved for any reason and over any distance whatsoever, it shall thereafter conform to
all regulations for the district in which it is located after it has been moved or relocated.
(3) Maintenance shall not include the conversion of a nonconforming sign to an electronic
message display sign. Any such conversions may only be made to a conforming sign and
shall be subject to the permitting and fee requirements set forth in this article.
17.45.130 Records
In addition to initial and construction inspections, signs may be inspected periodically by the City
to ensure continued compliance with this article.

passersby shall be repaired or removed immediately.
17.50.020 Abandoned Signs and Frames
(1) Abandoned Signs
(a) An abandoned sign is any sign, including support frames, ,where either:
(i) The sign is no longer used by the property or sign owner, in which case

license for the business located on the property, or cessation of use of the property
where the sign is located for the use or purpose associated with the sign; or
(ii) The sign has been damaged, and repairs and restoration have not been started
within 45 days of the date the sign was damaged, or, once started, are not diligently

Drafting Comment: We have not made substantive edits to this section during the Phase 1 edits.
If edits are needed prior to Phase 2, we can discuss them for the second round of Phase 1 edits.
17.70.010 Generally
All signs, including the frames, braces or supports, including all structural attachments thereof,
shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with this title, the International Building Code,
PMC Title 25, and all other applicable ordinances of the City. [Ord. 3790 § 5, 2006; Code 1970 §
17.09.010.]
17.70.020 General Construction
(1) General
(a) All signs shall be designed and constructed to resist wind and seismic forces as
specified in this chapter and the International Building Code (IBC). All bracing systems
shall be designed and constructed to transfer lateral forces to the foundations. For signs
on buildings, the dead and lateral loads shall be transmitted through the structural frame
of the building to the ground in such a manner as not to overstress any of the elements
thereof.
(b) The overturning moment produced from lateral forces shall in no case exceed two-thirds
of the dead-load resisting moment. Uplift due to overturning shall be adequately resisted
by proper anchorage to the ground or to the structural frame of the building. The weight
of earth superimposed over footings may be used in determining the dead-load resisting
moment. Such earth shall be carefully placed and thoroughly compacted.
(2) Wind Loads
(a) For the purpose of design, wind pressure shall be taken upon the gross area of the
vertical projection of all signs at not less than 15 pounds per square foot for those
portions less than 50 feet above the ground.
(b) In calculating wind pressure on cylindrical or spherical signs or sign structures, this
pressure shall be assured to act on six-tenths of the projected area. In all open frame
signs, the area used in computing wind pressure shall be one and one-half times the
net area of the framing members exposed to the wind.
(3) Seismic Loads
Signs and sign structures shall be designed and constructed to resist seismic forces as
specified in the building code.
(4) Combined Loads
(a) Wind and seismic loads need not be combined in the design of signs or sign structures;
only that loading producing the larger stresses need be used.
(b) Vertical design loads shall be assumed to be acting simultaneously with the wind or
seismic loads.
(5) Allowable Stresses
(a) The design of wood, concrete, or steel members shall conform to the requirements of
the building code. Loads, both vertical and horizontal, exerted on the soil shall not
produce stresses exceeding those specified in the building code.
66 Pasco Sign Code Update Revised Planning Comm. Review Draft March
2021
(b) The working stresses for wind or seismic loads combined with dead loads may be
increased as specified in the building code.
(c) The working stresses of wire rope and its fastenings shall not exceed 25 percent of the
ultimate strength of the rope or fasteners.
17.70.030 Construction
(1) General
The supports for all signs shall be placed in or upon private property and shall be securely
built, constructed, and erected in conformance with the requirement of this title.
(2) Materials
(a) Materials of construction for signs shall be of the quality and grade as specified for
buildings in the building code.
(b) In all signs, the materials and details of construction shall, in the absence of specified
requirements, conform to the following:
(i) Structural steel shall be of such quality as to conform to standards of the building
code. The thickness of sheet metal, when formed integrally with the display surface,
shall be not less than No. 24 gauge. When not formed integrally with the display
surface, the minimum thickness of the secondary members shall be not less than
No. 12 gauge. The minimum thickness of hot-rolled steel members furnishing
structural support for signs shall be of sufficient strength to support the loads
imposed upon them. Steel pipes shall be of such quality as to conform to the
building code. Steel members may be connected with one galvanized bolt provided
the connection is adequate to transfer the stresses in the member;
(ii) Anchors and supports for signs when of wood which are embedded in the soil, or
in direct contact with, shall be pressure treated with an approved preservative
before erection.
(iii) No material, part, portion, or equipment shall be used in any sign that might become
dangerous because of vibration, corrosion, disintegration, or any other reason.
(3) Restrictions on Combustible Materials
(a) Freestanding signs may be constructed of any materials meeting the requirements of
this title.
(b) Wall signs, blade or projecting signs, and signs on awnings or canopies or marquees
shall be constructed of incombustible materials, except as provided in subsection (4) of
this section. No combustible materials other than approved plastics shall be used in the
construction of electric signs.
(4) Nonstructural Trim
Nonstructural trim may be of wood, metal, approved plastic, or any combination thereof.
(5) Anchorage
(a) Members supporting unbraced signs shall be so proportioned that the bearing loads
imposed on the soil in either direction, horizontal or vertical, shall not exceed the safe
values. Braced signs shall be anchored to resist the specified wind or seismic load
acting in any direction. Anchors and supports to the ground shall be designed for safe
671 Pasco Sign Code Update Revised Planning Comm. Review Draft March
2021
bearing load on the soil and for an effective resistance to pull-out amounting to a force
25 percent greater than the required resistance to overturning.
(b) Signs supported by frames or posts rigidly attached to the base but not anchored into
the ground shall be so proportioned that the weight and size of the base will be adequate
to resist the wind pressure specified in PMC 17.30.010(1).
(c) Signs attached to masonry, concrete, or steel shall be safely and securely fastened
thereto by means of metal anchors, bolts, or approved expansion screws of sufficient
size and anchorage to safely support the loads applied.
(d) No wooden blocks or plugs or anchors with wood used in connection with screws or
nails shall be considered proper anchorage, except in the case of signs attached to
wood framing.
(e) No anchor or support of any sign shall be connected to, or supported by, a parapet wall,
unless such wall is designed in accordance with the requirements specified in the
building code for parapet walls.
(f) Cables, chains, wires or other flexible or loosely connected members shall not be
considered as adequate fastening, except for cloth signs and banners.
(g) No sign shall be erected within the City unless the same is securely affixed to a solid
foundation or constructed so as to prevent the movement of the sign in a swinging
motion.
(6) Electrical Signs
No aerial or overhead power source shall be allowed for any type of sign.

MEMORANDUM TO PLANNING COMMISSION
Ciry"t PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
1��r PdSCU City Hall—525 North Third Avenue—Council Chambers
DATE: THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 2021
6:30 PM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Jacob B. Gonzalez, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: MF# CA 2021-004 Drive-Through Facility Design Standards
Background
Drive-through facilities are common in the City of Pasco. There are currently more than 55
establishments with drive-through facilities within the City Limits. The City regulates parking per
of the Off-Street Parking requirements of the Pasco Municipal Code PMC 25.185. The City does
not currently have standards for drive-through facilities or parking lot design guidelines. During
the development review process, city staff, the applicant are often challenged when
determining the site plans impact, particularly with regards to safety, built environment, and
interference with the public right-of-way. This has increased permitting time while allowing
inconsistent application of design guidelines for projects across the city.
In Pasco, drive-through facilities have varying degrees of stacking or queue lengths that
accommodate the amount of vehicle or signage and lane markings. The City is aware of
locations that consistently back-up into the public streets or create navigation issues within
parking lots.
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide guidelines and design standards for the
development of establishments with through-through facilities within the City of Pasco.
Policy Guidance
The 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan identifies various goals and policies that staff will refer to
for the proposal. Applicable goals and policies have been included below
• Land Use Policy 1-13:
o Enhance the physical appearance of development within the community through
land use regulations, design guidelines, and performance and maintenance
standards including landscaping, screening, building facades, color, signs and parking
lot design and appearance.
• Land Use Policy 3-C:
o Encourage all developments to include appropriate landscaping and screening, as
required by adopted regulations and guidelines
• Implementation Policy 1-A:
o Maintain codes, standards, and guidelines, which are clear, concise and objective
1
In addition to the Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies the Pasco City Council established
Goals for 2020-2021 that included the following objective for Quality of Life:
Updating design standards for the development of new neighborhoods and re-development to
promote greater neighborhood cohesion through design elements, e.g.: walkability, aesthetics,
sustainability, and community gathering spaces.
Preliminary Focus Areas
The items below are issues that have generated concerns associated with drive-through
facilities:
• Traffic generation
• Interference with public right-of-way
• Pedestrian and automobile conflicts
• Littering and waste
• Noise
• Location
• Design and landscaping
Staff will seek to provide the Planning Commission with a proposal that includes best-practice
guidance from a variety of resources. The following is intended to serve as general guiding
principles for this proposal:
• Identify the appropriate amount of and location of stacking lanes, through lanes, and
parking, signage and landscaping
• Enhancing site design to support high-quality public realm (what we see)
• Encourage development that fits well within and improves existing or planned
neighborhood or corridor context
• Enhancing pedestrian amenities, accessibility, circulation and safety
• Support land use and transportation coordination
Next Steps
Staff is seeking initial comments and feedback from the Planning Commission prior to
developing options for the amendment.
