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.

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.

OLD BUSINESS
PUBLIC HEARINGS
WORKSHOP
A. Code Amendment- Accessory Dwelling Units (HB 1923) MF# CA2020-003-
Jacob Gonzalez, senior planner stated members of the Planning Commission, this report is
intended to serve as an update on staff efforts related to adopting and updating our existing
regulations for accessory dwelling units here in the City of Pasco. You may remember that at
the December 2020 workshop, staff provided initial reports on accessibly dwelling units. This
is just an update on our efforts with an additional focus on preliminary staff considerations
for the planning commission tonight.
So,again,just a reminder,this is part of the three items staff was authorized back in September
2019 to pursue three, quote, amendments to increase housing affordability here in the City of
Pasco related to the House bill 1923. This is the third action item. So excessively dwelling
units are smaller independent units located on the same lot as an existing standalone dwelling
or home to use, provide the same basic function that facilities as a typical home necessary for
daily living and as independent from the main home.
And so, some of the benefits that they've noted are that these are smaller. They offer some
additional costs and affordability options for folks, downsizing the flexibility and variety for
potential residents, entry-level housing for single residents and also enabling families to
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 5 May 20,2021
expand beyond their primary home within the same lot. Just a summary of some of the
community input. This one in particular is from the possible Housing Choices survey that
we've used quite a bit.
Now, this is from the fall of 2020, this was primarily aimed at receiving input from housing
builders, stakeholders,developers,realtors,et cetera. So the responses of this survey indicated
there's about 95% indicating more housing was necessary. In the City of Pasco, land
acquisition was the biggest barrier. 90%of responses had indicated that they were supportive
of allowing housing in the City of Pasco. This is from the community; the National Citizen's
Survey conducted every two years by the City of Pasco. This is from 2020 and again, you can
see additional interest in flexible zoning standards. Incentives and market choice were evident
in the 2020 surveys. So obviously, from both the private and public standpoint, quite a bit of
interest in housing choice, flexibility through a variety of methods, whether it's zoning,
flexibility or incentives. So refer back to the proposal. We wanted to summarize what we
received so far.
There's the specific regulations within the ADA use. So what kind and specific requirements
of each there is the second column is what we currently have in the past, a municipal code.
The second column is what you've seen before, which was the House bill 1923 legislation
enacted in 2019. That's the original bill which we are acting under. And you can see that all
of those are must be allowed or strict adherence to 1923.
In 2020 there was added flexibility given through the House bill 2343. That made all of those
specific regulations optional.We believe and we've spoken with the Department of Commerce
that 1923, although I want to say promoting housing flexibility was great. The benefit of 2343
was it allowed us to have more of a local decision making process with particulars of new
regulations all the way down to maximum square footage,the owner occupancy requirements
and the off-street parking requirements, which tends to be one of the bigger hurdles in
legislation across the country.
And so just wanted to show the breakdown of what we currently have or do not have in the
city. 1923 is original intent and the added flexibility through 2343, which we are allowed to
work under as well as on the next slide some initial considerations for the planning
commission tonight. And so I'll run through these,but on the attached use,which we currently
allow, we obviously would recommend no change to that.
We do recommend allowing a detached unit to use on all lot's if the setback regulations of the
underlying zoning district can still be achieved. We have the RS-20 all the way up through R-
4 each has their variable with regards to setbacks,heights. If those can still be achieved on the
off-street parking requirement, staff would recommend that we keep the current requirement
a one off street parking space per unit.
However, we do believe that there's some potential and opportunities to identify additional
considerations for flexibility on that. Obviously, we don't want to create parking problems in
the city, but I think we almost have to decide do we want a parking problem or a housing
problem? I think this is an opportunity for us to begin to not necessarily pilot, but take some
very preliminary or early steps at identifying where in this city do we have some flexibility to
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 5 May 20,2021
make that more of an option versus a requirement.
Staff would certainly welcome any thoughts from planning commission on that particular
regulation. There's the existing owner occupancy requirements right now. We have an eight
month owner occupant requirement. We're not entirely sure why that exists, but it's there
through 1923. We're not allowed to have that. 2343 it's an option for us. We recommend
eliminating the owner occupancy requirements in our research, rather to AARP or state
guidance or through the Department of Commerce.They have indicated that owner occupancy
requirement is more of a barrier to limiting or eliminating use as an option. It also allows to
rent it out as well. It's another income opportunity for the primary dwelling owner as well.
The other regulation here is the square footage right now. Pasco limits that to 800 square feet
1923 so that the minimum could be of one thousand square feet at the max and 2343 is an
option.
We believe we should use that one thousand square foot threshold or fifty five percent of the
total square footage of the primary residence, whatever is greater. I think again with the
parking and the square footage, there is some room for us to dove into the weeds a little bit
based on comments and concerns or in general increase in planning commission. Certainly,
we would welcome feedback on those particular components of the legislation or regulations
here. I also want to mention that the law coverages the heights, the setbacks, they default to
the underlying residential zoning district.
So if you have an ADU permit that's in the R-3 district, is one of those regulations still apply.
And that also wanted to mention that the minimum of separation between a detached ADU
and the primary dwelling, we would default again back to the cities, meet fire separation
standards. We adopt the international fire code in our municipal code. So we would refer back
to that. And we've also discussed that with our building official and plans examiners to ensure
safety compliance is with that and general consistency within our code.
That actually is the majority of tonight's presentation. Just wanted to bring to you these draft
considerations for the Planning Commission. We again welcome any feedback from you this
evening and would like to come back at the June Planning Commission meeting with a public
hearing and a draft ordinance for your review at that time.
We intend to issue the state Environmental Policy Act, the environmental analysis, by the
end of next week and then again come back to you in June with a draft ordinance for your
review. We don't perceive there to be a motion at that meeting, but definitely would try to
have the draft ordinance for your review.
B. Code Amendment- Car Washes in C-3 Zoning Districts within 300 Ft of Residential
Zoning Districts- MF# CA2021-007- Rick White, Director stated we have an agenda item
that we received through a request to perform a code amendment to allow carwashes within
three hundred feet of residential districts in the C-3 zoning district. So the report has an
inventory and a summary of the PMC regulations that would that currently accompany
carwashes in both in the C-1 zoning district and the C-3 zoning district.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 5 May 20,2021
You'll see also a summary of both Kennewick and Richlands regulations that deal with
carwashes. The Kennewick regulation seems to focus a bit more on noise, actually seem to
focus a lot more noise than the Richland regulations do. And then at the bottom of page
three in the report, you'll see a summary of the applicant's proposal for allowing them within
the C-3zoning districts. And the major points of, let's call it mitigation are the location on a
minor or arterial street.
The business must be on a minor arterial or arterial street. You see a recommendation for
stacking lengths for vehicles and then a recommendation that any operation include limits on
the daily hours that they are allowed to operate. And then two more on the equipment
associated with the car wash and some screening requirements. As I mentioned this is a
proposed code amendment, so there are options, of course, including no or possibly or yes
through a special permit. For example, you do have a very, very rough ordinance attached to
the report that probably isn't a whole lot of value right now, depending on what the
commission entails.
But what I would propose is that if the commission has thoughts on this issue, we can hear
those tonight. And then depending on what those thoughts are, the appropriate action at the
June meeting would be to schedule a hearing and provide that proper notification.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 2, 2021
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Angela R.Pitman,Block Grant Administrator
SUBJECT: 2022 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
ALLOCATION (MF#BGAP2021-003)
Requests for Funding
Attached for your review and consideration are the CDBG Fund and Proposal Summaries(Attachments I
& 2)relating to our Community Development Block Grant Program for program year 2022. Sixteen(16)
requests for funds were submitted totaling $1,171,250. Applicants will present their proposals before the
Planning Commission on June 17,2021.No action is required of the Planning Commission at the June 171
meeting, only consideration of the applications is necessary.
Estimated Funds Available
It is estimated that the 2022 annual entitlement grant will be$750,000 based on the award for program year
2021. Together with prior year funds and estimated program income it is estimated there will be $750,000
available for 2022 activities. There is always some question regarding actual funding levels approved by
Congress. Actual available funding for these FY 2022 activities will remain in question until the early part
of the year when the CDBG allocation is made by Congressional Resolution. If funding levels are lower
than estimated or eliminated the city will need to consider a number of options, including a voluntary or
proportionate reduction of allocation, possible inclusions in the 2022 city general fund budget requests. If
funding levels are higher than estimated, activity funding will be reallocated in accordance with the
contingency plan according to the greatest need.
Public Service Cap
HUD regulations state that the amount of CDBG Funds obligated within a program year to support public
service activities may not exceed 15%of the combined total of the entitlement plus the prior year's program
income. Based on the estimated entitlement of $750,000, the maximum available for public service
activities in 2022 is $112,500. Current requests for public services total $153,750.
Planning&Administration Cap
HUD regulations state that the amount of CDBG Funds obligated within a program year to support planning
and administration activities may not exceed 20%of the combined total of the entitlement plus the current
year's program income.For 2022,the estimated entitlement of$750,000 makes the maximum available for
planning and administration $150,000. Current requests for planning and administration total $150,000.
Staff recommends a maximum of$150,000 for planning and administration (20%) due to the additional
burden for HOME grant administration and project delivery.
No action from the Planning Commission is necessary. The Commission is expected to hear from the 2022
applicants and have the opportunity to ask questions.
The City Staff would like to thank the members of the Planning Commission for your time and assistance.

1. Describe your project and its proposed location,including what exactly the CDBG funds will be used for,a
description of the persons you will be serving,and why the project is needed.
Funding is needed for staffing to provide services to people 50 and older.These services help to provide
social,mental and physical needs of seniors within Pasco.The services include fitness,educational
presentations,arts and crafts,games,social gatherings and other leisure activities. Most services are
provided free to senior citizens and will take place at the First Avenue Center and at City Hall Activities
Center.
2. Describe the unmet need in the community using statistics,demographics or other factual information.
Though Pasco has a relatively low 65+senior population(6.7%), Pasco also has the lowest per capita income
level in the Tri-Cities area. Pasco also has the fewest number of senior living housing complexes which limits
the availability of activities and social opportunities available to Pasco's senior population.The First Avenue
Center helps fill that need.

The Pasco Y at the Martin Luther King Jr.Center(MLKC)offers a safe,positive and healthy environment for
youth,teens,young adults and families living in and around the Kurtzmen Park neighborhood.The YMCA
offers organized soccer leagues,as well as facilities including a computer lab,homework center,game room,
weight room and gymnasium. Financial Assistance is provided for those that cannot afford the full program

The Kurtzman Park neighborhood is located in Census tract 201.This is a low income,at risk neighborhood
with 27.8%percent living in poverty compared to the 17.1%for overall Franklin County.The neighborhood
does not offer easy access to other parts of the community due to the railroad overpass.This census tract is
also unique,since 42%of the 10,000 residents are estimated to be under the age of 18.This makes the need

CDBG Funds Requested $67,500 Leverage $0
1. Describe your project and its proposed location,including what exactly the CDBG funds will be used for,a
description of the persons you will be serving,and why the project is needed.
Project"Pasco Home Affordability'will be constructing affordable new homes in the East Pasco
neighborhoods of S Cedar Avenue and E Alvina Street. In 2022 there will be eight homes built:208&212 S
Cedar Avenue along with: 1508, 1504, 1418, 1414, 1410,and 1406 E Alvina Street;Pasco,WA 99301.These
homes create new and revitalized neighborhoods for the City of Pasco and its low and moderate income
residents.
CDBG funds will be used for the following:$30,000 toward all eight house trusses,$25,000 toward lumber
for the eight houses,and$12,500 toward the sidewalks associated with each house.This creates a total
request of$67,500.
"Pasco Home Affordability"will be serving eight families including 32 program recipients. We are currently
still accepting applications into our homeownership program for 2022.Tri-County Partners Habitat for
Humanity offers affordable homes to all Pasco Residents in the 30%-80%Area Medium Income(AMI)target
population.This offer is given freely and in the spirit of Equal Housing Opportunity including no barriers
based on:race,color,religion,sex,disability,familial status,or national origin.All homebuyer partners are
P US citizens or permanent residents.
j "Pasco Home Affordability"program applicants are fully screened for their financial situation and must meet
strict financial and"sweat-equity"guidelines.Both Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity and the CDBG
grant have the same target population in laser clear focus—low and moderate income residents must have
an opportunity to buy a home.This opportunity, in turn,introduces an infusion of equity into the lives of low
to moderate income families and the Pasco community as a whole.
"Pasco Home Affordability"is needed by low and moderate residents of Pasco to change the narrative of
"have pots"to stories of hope and anticipation of a brighter future.The nuance of this need includes
reasonable and affordable housing stock reserved only for the target population of low and moderate
income Pasco citizens.This project also includes beautiful and safe places to call home,support for
2022 CDBG RFP Annhi� +;--- 4' 1
C-2022-4-9
Wahaat for Humanity Families(8)
disadvantaged youth,laborers, and essential employees,as well as lifting up underserved and marginalized
members of the community.
2. Describe the unmet need in the community using statistics,demographics or other factual information.
Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity through the"Pasco Home Affordability"project is looking to
cultivate much needed life into the desolation of the Pasco homeownership landscape.The affordable
housing options to low-income residents will diversify from rental-only offerings to include homeownership
solutions. Habitat for Humanity truly believes that homeownership is one of the most effective tools to end
generational cycles of poverty.
Sky high costs of the Pasco housing market have currently created a median price of$318,000 for all new
and existing homes.$318,000 is a mid-point,a beginning,and the expense of Pasco homeownership only
rises from there.Consider this cost when realizing that the HUD Area Median Income(AMI)for one person is
only$54,700 per year.That is$4,558 per month.
This$318,000 price tag results in$1,900 per month payment once property taxes,fees and insurance are
factored in.The$1,900 monthly estimated payment is calculated using a 3.2%30-year fixed mortgage with a
zero dollar down payment.The average Pasco Resident would be bleeding close to 42%of their monthly
income. It is widely recommended that housing remain closer to 28%of a person's monthly income which
would make a reasonable home payment$1,276 per month. Habitat requires that no home partner will ever
have a monthly mortgage payment that exceeds 30%of the front end DTI.
Now consider that Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity only serves low and moderate income
applicants.All selected individuals are carefully screened for their financial situation and must meet strict
guidelines of 30-80%AMI.The picture becomes dismal when considering at best an 80%AMI Pasco Resident
would be paying 52%of their monthly income. By the time one reaches 30%AMI or the Federal Poverty
threshold this$1,900 home payment becomes impossible by overshooting monthly income at 139%and
177%respectively.In other words,30%AMI residents added with the more than 15.5%of Pasco Residents at
the poverty threshold will never be able to dream of owning a home.
In May of 2019 Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity sold a new home on N. Charles for its appraised
value of$201,000.Today,three years later,that same home is worth$250,000 a 24.4%increase.One Pasco
family was given a fighting chance to experience owning a place of their own to call "home." In 2022 Tri-
County Partners Habitat for Humanity looks forward to and welcomes the chance to offer more Pasco
Residents a place to call home with your investment of the CDBG grant.
Currently appraisals of Pasco homes are rising at an exorbitant rate. Between May 2019 and March 2021
there has been a 20.4%increase in appraisal values of Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity homes.This
increase applies to completely comparable homes.This increase is heaped directly onto the backs of already
heavily cost burdened low to moderate income Pasco Residents.
To recap,Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity meets the unmet housing needs of low to moderate
income Pasco residents by providing affordable homeownership opportunities in a housing market that is
increasingly impossible.Also the"Pasco Home Affordability" project creates reasonable monthly mortgage
costs for these residents.
Habitat for Humanity will need the help of a variety of funding streams including Pasco's CDBG grant to
combat the unreasonable increases in Pasco land and home costs.CDBG will help make the"impossible"
Pasco home prices"possible"for low and moderate income residents through its support of the"Pasco
Home Affordability" project.Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity and the CDBG grant have the same
target population and mutual vision to provide affordable housing options to the Pasco community.

9. What impact will your project have in the community? How will you measure your success?
Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity lives up to its Mission: "Seeking to put God's love into action,
Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope." Each day the
Vision of Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity can also be observed: "All residents of Benton,
Franklin, and Walla Walla counties have the opportunity for a decent, affordable place to live."
Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity desires to make the dream of homeownership a reality for low to
moderate income Pasco residents. "Pasco Home Affordability" project recipients include persons who fall
into special needs populations such as:victims of domestic violence, homeless, persons with disabilities
(when self-disclosed,)disadvantaged youth,illiterate persons,migrant farmworkers, people of color,and
essential workers.All will have the opportunity to build strength,stability,and self-reliance through our
program.
Special needs focus areas such as: health, education,economic opportunities, beautification,safety,
community,and racial equity are wrapped into the"Pasco Home Affordability" project.
Decent,affordable housing equals health. It is impossible to maintain health while homeless. Likewise, it is
impossible to be healthy when spending money intended for food, medication,clothing,and medical needs
toward one's housing. Difficult choices are made.Should one pay to stay warm, dry, and protected at home?
Or,should one make sure that necessary daily needs are met?Many times,the answer cannot be "Both."
These unfair decisions are forced upon low to moderate income Pasco Residents every day.
Educational opportunities for especially children and youth increase. Disadvantaged youth who live in
"Pasco Home Affordability"homes will receive the stability needed to succeed in school.Parents will be
more available in the home as less work time is required to provide necessities for their children. Risky
behaviors of disadvantaged children and youth subside with increased parental presence. Increased parental
supervision reduces the need for monitoring of youth and children by Pasco police. With affordable housing,
parents will no longer have to spend a significant portion of their monthly income on housing costs. In turn
parents will be able to reserve enough money to pay for healthy food,clean clothing,and medical needs.
Pasco schools,educators,police and, most importantly families,will be the winners when project"Pasco
Home Affordability" is executed.
The Pasco economy will be stimulated while workers are supported and sustained.On the job mental focus,
physical strength,timeliness, and consistent attendance are all advantages of a stable,comfortable, and
affordable home life.Active partnerships with Tri-Tech Skills Center will give Pasco community students the
unique opportunity to build a Habitat home with training in framing, roofing,and drywall installation.Upon
graduation,these students can add construction labor back into the Pasco economy.
"Pasco Home Affordability"homes are beautiful.The project will take old undeveloped Pasco land and turn
it into a cheery and beautiful neighborhood. Houses boast 2,3,and 4 bedrooms with open concept kitchen
and living spaces. Homes are adorned with plank flooring,energy-saving windows, and two bathrooms.At
each home dedication quilts are lovingly made by local craftspeople and given to each member of the new
home.Volunteer landscaping and Master Gardeners add outside appeal to quality"Pasco Home
Affordability"homes.
2022 CDBG RFP Application blank rl merge6 5
The infrastructure for the"Pasco Home Affordability"neighborhood is directly correlated with community
safety. New sidewalks,wider roads,and better lighting all play their part. Responsible people will now live in
the once uninhabited areas of East Pasco bringing stability and security with them.These elements all come
together to create greater safety for the City of Pasco.
Finally,community is created. "Sweat-equity"from future homeowners paired with volunteer labor from the
Tri-Cities area and beyond join together to raise"Pasco Home Affordability"homes.Sharing in their Habitat
experience neighbors work alongside each other building their own homes and forging long lasting bonds.
Pasco City Residents along with those from the Tri-Cities area at large are all encouraged to attend home
dedications for each new beginning.These are all elements working together to build a safe,stable,and
resilient Pasco community.
"Pasco Home Affordability"gives a fighting chance to low-income persons and people of color to begin
experiencing equity in homeownership. Disadvantaged groups are given the opportunity to break cycles of
generational poverty.They will own a home of value that can pass financial stability down to future
generations for many years to come.With every opportunity a Habitat home creates, one can witness the
actualization of Habitat's vision where"All residents of Benton, Franklin,and Walla Walla counties have the
opportunity for a decent,affordable place to live."
Success will be measured by meeting the 2022 CDBG benchmarks chosen by Tri-County Partners Habitat
for Humanity of serving 8 persons per quarter.Also,meeting the 2022 construction schedule targets will be
utilized.Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity welcomes questions about the construction schedule and
will be happy to answer them if CDBG would like to know more. Finally,the number of smiles that Pasco
residents enjoy as keys are received to their new home will be the ultimate measurement of"Pasco Home
Affordability"success.

12. Are the above"other sources"of funds secured? Please describe:
Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity is in the process of applying for the next round of Federal grants
through the Federal Home Loan Bank. The organization will know if those funds are secured in December
2021 and are confident that the application is competitive.
Private donations from local corporations,churches,and individuals as well as regular monthly givers have
been a consistent funding resource for this local Habitat affiliate over the last 26 years and continues to grow
despite setbacks this past year due to COVID-19.
To cover COVID-19 setbacks that demolished revenue from Habitat's retail store the organization was
grateful to be approved for both rounds of federal stimulus support(CARES and ARP Acts.)As COVID-19
restrictions begin to relax retail operations rebounded and confidence began to return as revenue streams
continue to ward pre-COVID-19 numbers this fiscal year.
In-kind donations from local and national partners remain consistent and secure. Additionally, Habitat's
most valuable resource, its volunteer base,will continue to generously give labor which passes on thousands
of dollars of construction savings to low-income homebuyer partners.
Habitat's partnership with Yakima Federal Savings&Loan is vital for the ability to provide affordable housing
opportunities and financing to low-income residents. Through this partnership,Yakima Federal has designed
a program that provides access to special interest rates available only for approved Habitat for Humanity
homebuyer partner families in Benton, Franklin,and Yakima Counties. A portion of the hybrid mortgage
package is carried with Yakima Federal at the preferential rate while the remaining portion is carried by
Habitat for Humanity at 0%interest. This allows Habitat to work with families of low to moderate incomes
which develop a payment schedule that is both affordable(below 30%of gross monthly income)and
sustainable for the long-term as the affiliate continues to grow.
13. If you do not receive the requested funds or receive only a portion of what you request,what will you do?
Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity has been a fiscally sound nonprofit presence in the Tri-Cities area
since being incorporated in 1994. For 26 years Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity has produced high
quality affordable housing on a consistent and steady basis to low-income individuals in the City of Pasco and
three surrounding Counties of Benton, Franklin,and Walla Walla.
Volunteer Power is the driving force behind the success of Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity.
Thousands of volunteer hours are logged at a national value of$28.54/hr.With this value in mind 317
Habitat volunteers donated 16,912 hours at a value of$482,668 in 2020 toward labor. For all-time 7,685
volunteers produced a total of 246,649 hours.This means our greatest strength is volunteer labor at a value
of over$7 million dollars over the course of Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity history.
A steady financial base from individual,Church,and corporate donors will be pursued and maintained.
Monthly givers are expected to continue with their monetary commitments.
Joining Habitat to support the affordable homeownership cause are volunteers,organizations,and clubs who
provide the backbone of volunteer power.
In-kind donors such as GAF Roofing Materials, Royal Roofing, Diamond Roofing,Schneider Electric,Whirlpool,
Valspar, Lowe's, 2nd Harvest, Martha's Cupboard, National Association of Women in Construction,Tri-Tech
Skills Center,Sea Tech Skills Center, and two local Quitter's Guilds also continue to be strong partners
Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity is currently administering a grant of$150,000 through Federal
Home Loan Bank(FHLB.)
2022 CDBG RFP Application blank ri merge6 8
Habitat's partnership with Yakima Federal Savings& Loan continues to provide strong financial backing.

OBJECTIVES—OUTCOMES—INDICATORS
HUD requires recipients of federal funding to assess the outcomes of the program in question,in order to better assess the effectiveness of
the activity. A Performance Measurement System has been designed to establish and track measurable objectives and outcomes for the
CDBG program. There are three key elements to the Performance Measurement System—Objectives,Outcomes and Indicators. All
approved applicants will be required to comply with the Performance Measurement System.
2022 CDBG RFP Application blank rl merge 15
Determine which one of the three objectives best describes the purpose of the activity/project:
Objective 1. Suitable Living Environment—This objective relates to activities that are designed to benefit communities,families,or
individuals by addressing issues in their living environments.
Objective 2. Decent Housing—This activity typically is designed to cover the wide range of housing possible under CDBG. This
objective focuses on housing programs where the purpose of the program is to meet individual family or community
needs and not programs where housing is an element of a larger effort,since such programs would be more
appropriately reported under Suitable Living Environment.
Objective 3. Create Economic Opportunity—This objective applies to the types of activities related to economic development,
commercial revitalization or job creation.
Determine which Outcome best describes your proposed activity/project:
Outcome 1. Improve availability/accessibility—This category applies to activities that make services,infrastructure,public facilities,
housing,or shelters available or accessible to low/moderate income people,including persons with disabilities. In this
category,accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers,but also to making the affordable basics of daily living
available and accessible to low/moderate income people where they live.
Outcome 2. Improve affordability—This category applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways in the lives of
low/moderate income people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure
hook-ups,or services such as transportation or day care.
Outcome 3. Improve sustainability—This category applies to projects where the activity or activities are aimed at improving
communities or neighborhoods,helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate
income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas through multiple activities or services that sustain
communities or neighborhoods.
These are the key Indicators that HUD will use to assist in demonstrating benefits that result from the expenditure of CDBG funds. These
are for your information only—you do not have to choose an Indicator.
• Public facility or infrastructure activities • Public service activities
• Geographically targeted revitalization effort • Jobs retained

OBJECTIVES—OUTCOMES—INDICATORS
HUD requires recipients of federal funding to assess the outcomes of the program in question, in order to better assess the effectiveness of
the activity. A Performance Measurement System has been designed to establish and track measurable objectives and outcomes for the
CDB(S program. There are three key elements to the Performance Measurement System—Objectives,Outcomes and Indicators. All
approved applicants will be required to comply with the Performance Measurement System.
2022 CDBG RFP Application blank rl merge 9
Determine which one of the three objectives best describes the purpose of the activity/project:
Objective 1. Suitable Living Environment—This objective relates to activities that are designed to benefit communities,families,or
individuals by addressing issues in their living environments.
Objective 2. Decent Housing—This activity typically is designed to cover the wide range of housing possible under CDBG. This
objective focuses on housing programs where the purpose of the program is to meet individual family or community
needs and not programs where housing is an element of a larger effort,since such programs would be more
appropriately reported under Suitable Living Environment.
Objective 3. Create Economic Opportunity—This objective applies to the types of activities related to economic development,
commercial revitalization or job creation.
Determine which Outcome best describes your proposed activity/project:
Outcome 1. Improve availability/accessibility—This category applies to activities that make services,infrastructure, public facilities,
housing,or shelters available or accessible to low/moderate income people,including persons with disabilities. In this
category,accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers,but also to making the affordable basics of daily living
available and accessible to low/moderate income people where they live.
Outcome 2. Improve affordability—This category applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways in the lives of
low/moderate income people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing,basic infrastructure
hook-ups,or services such as transportation or day care.
Outcome 3. Improve sustainability—This category applies to projects where the activity or activities are aimed at improving
communities or neighborhoods,helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate
income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas through multiple activities or services that sustain
communities or neighborhoods.
These are the key Indicators that HUD will use to assist in demonstrating benefits that result from the expenditure of CDBG funds. These
are for your information only—you do not have to choose an Indicator.
• Public facility or infrastructure activities • Public service activities
• Geographically targeted revitalization effort • Jobs retained
• Commercial fa ade treatment/rehabs that are not target area based Number of homeless persons given overnight shelter

1. Describe your project and its proposed location,including what exactly the CDBG funds will be used for,a
description of the persons you will be serving,and why the project is needed.
The City of Pasco is actively working to improve the Pasco Neighborhood Business District,and currently has two
fully funded projects in construction along the Lewis Street corridor(Peanuts Park and Lewis Street Overpass).
Between these projects is a corridor lines with various shops and restaurants,one of the most culturally critical
corridors of downtown Pasco. The proposed Lewis Street Corridor Improvements project will increase pedestrian
safety and ADA accessibility,and leverage the investments($44Million)being made on both ends of the corridor.
The project will consist of streetscape improvements including but not limited to new ADA accessible sidewalks and
ramps,lighting,planters,trees,and benches.
A masterplan has been prepared for the neighborhood around the Lewis Street corridor by KPG Interdisciplinary
Design that recommended the corridor improvements included within this proposal.
A consultant selection was performed for this project and Mackay Sposito was selected for the engineering design of
the corridor and outreach,as well as permitting for the project. Rendering and exhibits are included in this
application for visual reference of the envisioned improvements to the corridor.
2. Describe the unmet need in the community using statistics,demographics or other factual information.
The neighborhood business district is an economically distressed area. According to the 2011-2015 census,over
63%of the residents of the served community are classified as low income,according to the HUD guidelines.
Property values in the area have been depressed,and a number of buildings are vacant or underutilized. The Lewis
Street corridor between 2nd and 5th is lines with restaurants and shops; businesses that are suffering severe impacts
from the COVID-19 pandemic. Encouraging patronage of these businesses in the coming years will be critical to the
surrounding community that is financially supported by them.
A beautification project,where downtown is renovated for the betterment of the economic vitality and enjoyment
of the community in the vicinity,while offsetting income disparities. This investment is focused towards the
support to festivals and events in the neighborhood,local business and cultural theme integration and the increase
of overall accessibility and safety in downtown.

OBJECTIVES—OUTCOMES—INDICATORS
HUD requires recipients of federal funding to assess the outcomes of the program in question,in order to better assess the effectiveness of
the activity. A Performance Measurement System has been designed to establish and track measurable objectives and outcomes for the
CDB<G program. There are three key elements to the Performance Measurement System—Objectives,Outcomes and Indicators. All
approved applicants will be required to comply with the Performance Measurement System.
2022 CDBG RFP Application blank r1 merge 11
Determine which one of the three objectives best describes the purpose of the activity/project:
Objective 1. Suitable Living Environment—This objective relates to activities that are designed to benefit communities,families,or
individuals by addressing issues in their living environments.
Objective 2. Decent Housing—This activity typically is designed to cover the wide range of housing possible under CDBG. This
objective focuses on housing programs where the purpose of the program is to meet individual family or community
needs and not programs where housing is an element of a larger effort,since such programs would be more
appropriately reported under Suitable Living Environment.
Objective 3. Create Economic Opportunity—This objective applies to the types of activities related to economic development,
commercial revitalization or job creation.
Determine which Outcome best describes your proposed activity/project:
Outcome 1. Improve availability/accessibility—This category applies to activities that make services,infrastructure, public facilities,
housing,or shelters available or accessible to low/moderate income people,including persons with disabilities. In this
category,accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers,but also to making the affordable basics of daily living
available and accessible to low/moderate income people where they live.
Outcome 2. Improve affordability—This category applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways in the lives of
low/moderate income people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing,basic infrastructure
hook-ups,or services such as transportation or day care.
Outcome 3. Improve sustainability—This category applies to projects where the activity or activities are aimed at improving
communities or neighborhoods,helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate
income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas through multiple activities or services that sustain
communities or neighborhoods.
These are the key Indicators that HUD will use to assist in demonstrating benefits that result from the expenditure of CDBG funds. These
are for your information only—you do not have to choose an Indicator.

•
Geographically targeted revitalization effort Jobs retained

CDBG Funds Requested $10,000 Leverage $2,000
1. Describe your project and its proposed location,including what exactly the CDBG funds will be used for,a
description of the persons you will be serving,and why the project is needed.
The recreation scholarship fund is a program to help low-income residents of Pasco to be able to participate
in the many recreational programs and events offered through the city.Currently,as we qualified for some
funding in 2019,we were able to raise the eligibility level from those at or below 40%of the median income
to those at or below 60%of the median income.The scholarships awarded cover 75%of the program cost
and qualifying individuals can receive up to 3 scholarships during the Fall and Winter program guide cycles
and up to 4 scholarships during the Summer.
2. Describe the unmet need in the community using statistics,demographics or other factual information.
Pasco as a whole is over 57%Hispanic and in the population under the age of 18 that percentage is nearer
75%.The median household income in Pasco is$10,000 lower than the state average and the household size
is much larger at 3.3 person per household vs 2.5 for the state.This all means that there are many youth in
Pasco with lower ability to pay.The ability to offer scholarships to a larger percentage of the population will
help improve quality of life of Pasco as a whole and help keep youth engaged in constructive instead of
destructive activities within the community.

Requesting$2,000 more than requested in 2020.—There are still many low-income households that are
unable to or just do not access the scholarship fund due to the program limitations we have set (only those

knowledge of the program. If more funding were available we would more heavily promote the program to
reach those that qualify and we would extend eligibility to those who fall in the 80%level of the HUD
Income Limit Guidelines.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 7, 2021
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Angela R.Pitman,Block Grant Administrator
SUBJECT: 2022 HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS (HOME)PROGRAM
ALLOCATION AND ANNUAL WORK PLAN (MF#BGAP2021-004)
Background
Pasco entered into a HOME Consortium Agreement with Richland and Kennewick in 1996 making the
City eligible for Federal HOME funds. The Agreement was renewed through 2022. Each year an annual
action plan is required to be prepared and submitted to HUD for use of estimated funds for the following
program year.
Estimated Funds Available
It is estimated that the 2022 annual entitlement grant to the HOME Consortium will be $490,000. Each
member city is allocated an equal share of the entitlement after 10% Set-Aside for Administration and
15% Set-Aside for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO). Pasco's share of the
entitlement is estimated to be $163,000 when the remaining funds are split equally between the three
cities. HOME Program income estimated in 2022 is $100,000 and may be used for Down Payment
Assistance, Tenant Based Rental Assistance, or an Eligible CHDO Project depending on need. These
estimates are based on the 2020 HOME Allocation.
There is always some question regarding actual funding levels approved by Congress. Actual available
funding for these FY 2022 activities will remain in question until the early part of the year when the
HOME allocation is made by Congressional Resolution and an amendment to the Annual Action Plan
may be necessary. If funding levels are lower than estimated, activity funding may need to be reallocated
accordingly. Any program income received may be allocated for eligible down payment assistance
projects.
Planning&Administration
HUD regulations state that the amount of HOME Funds obligated within a program year to support
planning and administration activities may not exceed 10% of the entitlement. This is awarded to
Richland annually as the Lead Agency of the HOME Consortium to manage all activities. Member cities
are provided funds for planning and administration from 10% of program income received from
completed projects within their jurisdiction.
CHDO Set-Aside
Each year a minimum of 15% of the entitlement grant must be set-aside to help Community Housing
Development Organizations (CHDO) add to the permanent affordable housing stock. The CHDO set-
aside funds may be combined with program income for a development project that will be selected
through a competitive RFP process.
Proposed Activities
HOME funds are based on need and income eligibility and may be used anywhere within the city limits,
however, neighborhoods designated as priority by Pasco City Council receive first consideration. Funding
is first targeted in the Longfellow and Museum neighborhoods, then within low-moderate income census
tracts (201, 202, 203 and 204). If HOME funds cannot be applied to those areas, then they are used as
needed within the Pasco City limits for the benefit of eligible low-moderate income families. Funds may
be reallocated between programs to meet community needs.
2022 Funding Sources Budget
Entitlement& Estimated Program Income $263,000
2022 Proposed Activities
Program Administration $7,000
Down Payment Assistance Program $128,000
Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program $128,000
$263,000
Recommendations
After discussions and staff evaluation, it is recommended that anticipated 2022 HOME entitlement funds
be allocated to the First Time Homebuyer Down Payment Assistance Program A contingent project for
new construction infill or tenant based rental assistance may also be added if needed to meet timeliness.
The activities set forth above would best meet the City's Consolidated Plan and be most effective in
carrying out the objectives for the City in 2022. If conditions of the housing market make it difficult to
use funds as planned, Pasco may consider joining forces with Kennewick and Richland to allocate unused
funds for CHDO acquisition and/or infrastructure for low-income rental housing projects as permitted in
the interlocal agreement. Your review and recommendation to the City Council would be appreciated.

cc: Using CDBG and CDBG-CV to Support Pandemic Recovery
Using CDBG and CDBG-CV to Support Pandemic Recovery
April 30, 2021
Since the first Community Development Block Grant coronavirus(CDBG-CV) allocations were announced in March
2020,a wide range of larger pandemic response and recovery funding sources focused on assistance to individuals and
families have become available. As a result,CDBG-CV grantees have begun identifying gaps and creating activities to
drive longer-term recovery and revitalization for low-and moderate-income(LMI)areas.Grantees may use CDBG-CV
funds for pandemic recovery if each assisted activity prepares,prevents,and responds to coronavirus(also known as"PPR
tieback").This quick guide will help grantees understand this approach and how to apply it.
Grantees may use CDBG and CDBG-CV funds for a range of eligible activities with PPR tieback. A key for tieback is to
focus on documented coronavirus effects or risks to overall economic,service,housing and infrastructure serving LMI
neighborhoods and communities,and to consider both backward-looking and potential forward-looking risks or
vulnerabilities to coronavirus.

CARES Act CDBG-CV2 Grants
Eligible Activities Guide
ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES
CDBG eligible activities are listed in the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Section 105
(the Act) here. The primary CDBG-CV2 eligible activities are defined in the following pages. Activities
and local assistance programs determined by a CDBG entitlement jurisdiction as CDBG-CV eligible will
be accepted in most cases by the state CDBG program.
CDBG-CV2 funds can extend or expand CV1 (and CV3)funded activities for expedient use of funds and
to continue successful programs. If new local priorities have emerged, CDBG-CV2 can fund a new
CDBG eligible activity that prevents, prepares for, or responds to coronavirus. Funding new activities
may require an amendment.
Following are definitions, HUD activity codes and further guidance on CD13G-CV2 eligible activities.
MICROENTERPRISE ASSISTANCE
HUD HUD defines a microenterprise as a commercial enterprise having five or less
CODE employees, including the owner(s). To be eligible for CDBG-CV funding, the business
must have a physical location and be able to document loss of revenue due to COVID-19
18C impacts. Or the funding can expand a microenterprise that provides COVID-19 response
services such as medical, food delivery, cleaning and other services to support home
health and quarantine.
CDBG funds can support a local microenterprises assistance program by funding:
1. Provisions of credit(including grants)for the establishment, stabilization, and expansion of
microenterprises. Initial amounts generally not to exceed $25,000. Grant money may be used
only for the operating expenses of the awarded business. The operating expenses are defined as
the day-to-day trading operations of the business such as covering payroll and rent.
2. General and technical assistance, advice and business support services to owners of
microenterprises and persons developing microenterprises.
3. Operation of the fund including staffing for pre-and post-loan technical assistance, loan servicing
activities and loan collection activities.
The CDBG-CV grantee either directly administers a local microenterprise assistance program or, in most
cases, passes the funds to a local or regional economic/community development organization. This
organization uses the funds to provide technical assistance, package loans/grants, and manage loan
portfolio payments for qualifying microenterprises.
The CDBG-funded technical and financial assistance must be structured to benefit LMI households. The
CDBG COVID-19 Microenterprise Assistance Guide with template forms for developing and
implementing a CDBG-funded microenterprise assistance program is available on Commerce's CDBG-
CV website and here.

PUBLIC SERVICES DEFINITIONS AND CODES
CDBG can fund a wide range of public services that meet a CDBG national objective. Below is an
excerpt from HUD's database manual providing definitions and codes for CDBG eligible public services.
Services that most likely respond to COVID-19 impacts are highlighted.
Subsistence Payments are short-term (no more than six month) emergency payments for utilities, rent
or mortgage. The CDBG COVID-19 Subsistence Payment Guide with template forms for developing
and implementing a CDBG-funded utility, rent and/or mortgage emergency assistance program is
available on Commerce's CDBG-CV website and here.
CDBG funded public services may cover labor, supplies, materials, and other costs directly tied to service
delivery. Planning and community organization activities, not directly linked to the delivery of an eligible
public service to a client, are not eligible. CDBG cannot fund general outreach activities or partnership
building activities, unless you can count and report on the clients receiving a direct service from those
activities.

service costs only in the proportion of total persons receiving COVID-19 response services, as well
as meet the LMI National Objective, Contact CDBG if seeking to fund resource referral services.
• Outreach costs -Outreach is not an eligible CDBG public service in of itself. Outreach to inform
clients of a specific program can be an allowable expense, but only as part of that program's
service delivery costs. Specific partnership building costs necessary to provide a direct client
service could be an allowable expense as part of that program's service delivery costs, with that
Program Name and service description then to be listed in the ZoomGrants Project Description
table.
• Housinci Related Services— Many housing related activities are not eligible as a CDBG public
service because they are eligible instead for a housing rehabilitation, facility or homeownership
assistance type of CDBG grant. Make sure your service description of any housing related services
clearly shows how the service meets the definition of an eligible CDBG public service.
Please note: While the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) can fund similar local government
activities that may be considered a public related service, the CRF differs from the CARES Act CDBG-
CV funding requirements. A comparison of eligible activities is available on Commerce's CDBG-CV
website. Also, activities eligible for America Rescue Plan Act local government funds are not
necessarily eligible for CDBG-CV funding.

PLANNING AND GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEFINITIONS AND CODES
CDBG can fund some planning and administration costs.
CDBG-CV funded plans must prevent, prepare for, or respond to coronavirus and principally benefit low-
and moderate-income persons. Planning may be done to address inequities amongst socioeconomic
groups that were revealed and exacerbated by the coronavirus—such as access to health care or
affordable housing. By addressing these inequities, local government can reduce further harm during the
COVID-19 pandemic, and in advance of future public health concerns. Planning-only activities can be
conducted by the local government grantee and/or by a grantee procured planning consultant.
General administration includes those local government grantee activities necessary to administer the
CDBG-CV2 contract with Commerce, and do not include direct project administration.

MEMORANDUM TO PLANNING COMMISSION
Cityq PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
Co City Hall—525 North Third Avenue—Council Chambers
q1I
DATE:THURSDAY,June 17, 2021
6:30 PM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Jacob B. Gonzalez, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: CA2020-003—Accessory Dwelling Units (HB 1923)
Background
Accessory dwelling units (ADU) are small, self-contained residential unit located on the same lot
as an existing single-family home. An ADU provides the same basic functions and facilities as a
typical home necessary for daily living but are independent of the main home.ADUs are generally
defined to be smaller in size and prominence than the main residence and are historically
embedded in many low-density single-family neighborhoods across the county.
The City of Pasco, along with 51 other communities received funding from the Washington State
Department of Commerce to address housing affordability and supply in their communities. The
funding was made available through the passage of House Bill 1923,approved by the Washington
State Legislature during the 2018-2019 session.
i
The purpose of this staff report is to provide information on proposed Action #3 which would
allow attached and detached accessory dwelling units in Pasco.
• Authorize attached and detached accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on all parcels
containing single-family homes.
May 20 2021 Planning Commission Summary
At the May 2021 Planning Commission (workshop) meeting, staff presented preliminary
recommendations on the proposal. Below, staff have provided an annotated summary of
comments with responses.
PC Comment#1: Restrictions on the number of residences (people) and occupancy
requirements for ADUs
Staff Response #1: The City has adopted (PMC 16.30.010) the most current, state-adopted
International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) which provides variable
standards based on square footage for homes and the number of
occupants which can safely reside.
The IPMC also provides standards for overcrowding (IPMC 404.5) which
the City has also adopted by reference. The IPMC requires that each
bedroom shall not contain less than 70 square feet (IPMC 404.4.1).
1
The Pasco Code Enforcement staff are responsible for ensuring the
compliance of all building, construction, and code regulations of the Pasco
Municipal Code, and further enforced through the City Council appointed
members of the Pasco Code Enforcement Hearings Board as stated in PMC
1.45.
PC Comment#2: Is the city proposing specific design standards for aesthetics of ADUs.
Staff Response#2: As presented at the May 2021 workshop, staff proposed that the current
Residential Design Standards (PMC 25.165.100) would apply to accessory
dwelling unit construction. Since the meeting, staff has spoken with the
Washington State Department of Commerce to obtain best-practices from
other jurisdictions, those are provided in the following section "Updated
Staff Recommendations."
PC Comment #3: Is/was House Bill 1923 superseded by House Bill 2343. Is the City at risk for
receiving less funding based on what is approved?
Staff Response #3: House Bill 2343 (enacted June 11, 2020) modified the list of planning
actions that certain cities are encouraged to take to increase residential
building capacity via House Bill 1923 (enacted July 1, 2019).
As it related to the proposed Code Amendment CA2020-003 on Accessory
Dwellings, House Bill 2343 replaced mandated requirements with options.
The new options for ADUs that are allowed under the House Bill 2343
statue (RCW 36.70A.600(1)(n-q)) are below, and replace the mandated
requirements of the following:
(n) Authorize accessory dwelling units in one or more zoning districts in
Which they are currently prohibited;
(o) Remove minimum residential parking requirements related to
accessory dwelling units;
(p) Remove owner occupancy requirements related to accessory dwelling
units;
(q) Adopt new square footage requirements related to accessory dwelling
units that are less restrictive than existing square footage requirements
related to accessory dwelling units;
2
The Washington State Department of Commerce is amending the original
contract with the City signed for House Bill 1923 (November 2019)to allow
maximum flexibility to receive grant funding credit.
PC Comment #4: Would removal of the existing eight-month owner occupancy requirement
increase or allow for ADUs to be rented out for short-term vacation
rentals? Concerns about activities in Airbnb's and impact on surrounding
neighbors and expectations.
Staff Response #4: The City of Pasco does not specifically call out or identify short-term
rentals, such as vacation rentals (example: Airbnb, VRBO, etc) within the
Pasco Municipal Code. However, staff has noted, and interpreted that
what does exist in the PMC suffices the restriction of short-term lodging in
residential districts.
Additionally, the primary purpose of allowing more ADUs are intended to
increase housing stock. The use of ADUs for tourism based, or short-term
uses (vacation rentals, etc)decreases the overall housing capacity and puts
increased pressure on an already limited housing stock.
PC Comment #5: Can the City evaluate which areas of the City would be impacted by the
off-street parking requirements? What options for flexibility are there to
ensure neighborhoods would be able to utilize ADU option?
Staff Response #5: The Pasco Municipal Code has specific requirements that regulate and limit
the lot coverage. "Lot coverage" means the percentage of the lot area
covered by all buildings, including accessory buildings, patio covers or
sunscreens. For example, the RS-1 zoning district allows a maximum lot
coverage of 40%, whereas the R-3 and R-4 zoning districts allow a
maximum lot coverage of 60%.
The current off-street parking requirements would likely prevent many
residential lots from taking advantage of the proposed accessory dwelling
amendment.
Each residential lot must comply with the various residential design and
building regulations of Title 25, including setbacks (front, rear, side) in
addition to the height limits. Each additional requirement restricts the
amount of lot area available for a potential dwelling.
This would be particularly more impactful on smaller lots, specifically in
Central Pasco where many of the lots were platted prior to the existing
3
subdivision regulations were adopted. Many of the residential lots in
Central Pasco do not currently (and were not required) to dedicated off-
street parking. Nationally, research shows that ADU residents have low
rates of vehicle ownership with higher rates of transit use.
Updated Staff Recommendations
The table below depicts updated staff recommendations for the various components of

ADU Design, Building and Utility Standard Recommendations (06/17/2021)
In response to comments from Planning Commission members, and as identified in Table 1, staff
is proposing a set of design standards to accompany the recommended regulations for accessory
dwellings. Design standards ensure that beyond the permitting and feasibility of ADUs,that their
construction will contribute to the beautification of Pasco's diverse neighborhoods.
The following set of standards shall apply to all accessory dwellings.
1. Design Compatibility
a. Location of Entrances
i. The location of the accessory dwelling entrance/entry may be oriented
towards the primary dwelling but shall not be oriented to face an existing
occupied, neighborhood property.
ii. The main entrance must be located at least 15 feet from the side property
lines shared with a neighbor.
b. Exterior Finish
L Exterior finish materials must visually match in type, size and placement, the
exterior finish materials of the primary dwelling.
c. Roof Pitch
L The roof pitch of the accessory dwelling must be the same as the predominant
roof pitch of the primary dwelling.
d. Windows
L If the street-facing fa4ade of the ADU is visible from the street, its windows
must match, in proportion and orientation, the windows of the primary
dwelling.
ii. Second-story windows within 10 feet of the property line shall be constructed
to reduce direct views into the neighboring property. Methods to do so include
clerestory windows and semi-translucent glass.
e. Access and Walkways
i. A separate walkway must be provided for all detached accessory dwelling
units.
ii. Walkways must be a minimum of 3 feet wide.
7
iii. Walkway materials must be distinct from any adjacent vehicle areas (walkways
may function as a shared drive/walk space along an exterior edge of a driving
surface).
f. Addressing
i. ADUs must have clear addressing visible from the street. If the ADU is not
visible from the street, an address and some form of directional notation must
be available that differentiates the primary dwelling from the AADU and visible
from the main access point to the property.
g. Construction Requirements
i. Accessory dwelling units must comply with construction codes including, but
not limited to International Residential Code (IRC) with City and State adopted
amendments, Washington State Energy Code (WSEC) and the City of Pasco's
Building Code (PMC Title 16) and all other applicable codes.
h. Fire Separation Design
i. The location of all new constructed accessory dwellings must comply with the
separation distances requirements as administer by the City of Pasco Building
Official, Fire Marshall, PMC Title 16, and all other applicable codes.
i. Fire Sprinkler
i. A fire sprinkler system may be required for any dwellings with points on
exterior walls more than 600 feet from the nearest fire hydrant.
j. Specific Standards for Attached ADUs
i. Attached accessory dwellings should be constructed with a fire separation
between the units and at the supporting structure.
ii. Applicants may consider the following alternatives from the above if
documentation is if meets all three (3) criteria below per Washington State
Amendments to the IRC:
1. The accessory dwelling unit is constructed within an existing dwelling
unit. This requires the unit to have connection with enclosed spaces
and provide the appearance as one common dwelling.
2. Either the accessory dwelling unit or primary dwelling unit is owner-
occupied. This will require recording on title of an owner occupancy
agreement to assure proper use now and with potential future
ownership.
3. All required smoke alarms in the accessory dwelling unit and the
primary dwelling unit are interconnected in such a manner that the
actuation of one alarm will activate all alarms in both the primary
dwelling unit and the accessory dwelling unit.
iii. If an existing ADU is modified to not be owner occupied, then permits are
required to modify and/or verify construction meets the standards referenced
above.
k. Legalization of Nonconforming ADUs
i. Nonconforming ADUs existing prior to the enactment of these requirements
may be found to be legal if the property owner applies for an ADU building
permit and brings the unit up to the minimum building requirements of Title
8
16. Owners of illegal ADUs shall be subject to the enforcement provisions as
administered through the Pasco Code Enforcement Hearings Board. The
burden of proof shall be with the property owner(s) in any dispute regarding
the legality of the unit.
I. Subdividing Property with a Detached ADU
i. A detached ADU may remain on a lot or parcel where no main building exists
when in the event the main structure on a lot is damaged or for other reason,
is required to be removed.
ii. If a property with an existing single-family dwelling and an ADU is subdivided
with a result that the ADU is on a separate property,then the ADU must either
be converted to a single-family dwelling which may include frontage
improvements for the change of use or permits for construction of a new
single-family dwelling must be submitted on the site where the ADU exists.
m. Utilities for ADUs
L Utility lines and impervious surfaces must be identified on a separate utility
plan.
ii. Site Development considers detached and attached ADUs to be accessory
structures and right-of-way improvements are only necessary to address
impacts created by the development. Requirements may include restoration
for new or upgraded utilities, including modifications to driveway or curb
access. Future conversation or change of use to a primary residence will trigger
street frontage improvements through PMC Title 12.
iii. Sanitary Sewer and Surface Water services shall be built and permitted as
required in the City of Pasco City Standards & Specifications.
Environmental Determination
A Determination of Non-Significance was issued on May 24, 2021 declaring that the proposed
amendment does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment.
Next Steps:
Staff is seeking comments or questions from the Planning Commission. A draft ordinance has
been prepared for your review.
Staff recommends that the public hearing be continued to the July 15, 2021 Planning Commission
where staff will recommend a final set of draft regulations for deliberation.
