NEW BUSINESS
Danilyuk Short Plat Sewer Service Requirement Appeal (APPL 2021-
001)
Mr. White provided a brief report on the appeal related to a request to
waive sewer service utility requirements associated with a Short Plat
application to divide a 2.2-acre parcel into three lots. City staff determined
that the installation of sewer service utilities would be required for the
property based on the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) within Chapter
16.15, "Water and Sewer Service Required." The property must meet
certain conditions to waive the required sewer utility connections.
Mr. White and Mr. Ferguson noted that, based on the PMC, this appeal
must come before Council in the form of an open record appeal meeting.
Brenton Griffin, from Rogers Surveying and representative for the
applicant seeking the sewer requirement waiver, requested that C ouncil
grant the sewer waiver. He submitted three (3) documents associated to
the request to waive the sewer connections to City Clerk Barham.
Council and staff discussion ensued regarding request for sewer waiver,
staff's recommendation to deny the appeal based on the applicant's lack
of meeting specific criteria to approve a waiver as provided in the Pasco
Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter 16.15, future infill development within
Franklin County donut holes, future sewer lift stations within the Riverview
area, a suggestion to create a finding form for Council's use in determining
if sewer line waiver is warranted or not, and the possibility of taking
Page 4 of 5Page 9 of 97
another action to help fund a sewer connection to the property or the
possibility of creating an local improvement district for future sewer lines
and other City utilities.
After the discussion concluded, Council agreed to continue this open
record appeal meeting and staff come back in four weeks at the July 19,
2021, Council Meeting. In the meantime, Council asked staff look into the
reverse latecomers agreement where the City would cover the latecomers
agreement, as well as, a determination if the City were to finance the
latecomers agreement would it become a gifting of public funds issue.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Barajas moved to continue the open record
appeal meeting to June 19, 2021. Mr. Maloney seconded. Motion carried
unanimously.
MISCELLANEOUS DISCUSSION

Vacation Petition
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING
MOTION: I move to deny the vacation request of the south 329.29 feet of Road
97 located south of the Moonlite Acres Subdivision.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
This item was presented to Council at the June 7, 2021, business meeting and
Council continued the public hearing to July 6, 2021.
This portion of Road 97 proposed to be vacated was built around 1977 and
Franklin County maintained it over many years. However, during those years the
neighbors had conflicts about who had right of access with contentious periodic
blocking of driveways and access to properties. Ultimately, a complaint to the
Franklin County Commissioners’ Office in 2013 led the County to purchase right-
of-way. The area was annexed into the City in 2015.
The applicant of the vacation request submitted an application to develop his lot
with a single-family dwelling.
Page 27 of 97
That accompanying building permit was placed on hold because “road frontage
improvements, as well as a cul-de-sac which is required for emergency vehicle
access, as well as applicable right-of-way dedication, shall be completed.”
It was also determined that the cul-de-sac would exceed the allowable length of
600' per Pasco Municipal Code 21.15.070(1), as follows: "Cul-de-sacs should
normally be less than 300 feet, but will be permitted up to 600 feet in length."
The distance from the center line of West Argent Road to the end of the current
right-of-way is over 1,000 feet; it is 830 feet to the proposed point of vacation.
The circumstances and land use patterns accompanying this vacation request
are inherited, unique and problematic. It is unlikely that all concerns of all
affected owners will be addressed to their full satisfaction.
Three (3) options for accommodating the immediate vacation request and longer
term considerations are discussed below.
V. DISCUSSION:
One option for consideration is to vacate the right of way and replace it with a
pair of “shared frontage accesses” that utilize much of the same space as the
existing right-of-way. These "shared frontages" would contain access and utility
easements with paved access drive(s) that are both legal in their allowance, as
well as less costly to construct on the individual properties than standard right of
way improvements.
This option would allow the "shared frontage accesses" to be conditioned
through the vacation process to accommodate both the access requirements of
the immediate permit applicant but also the access considerations of the other
adjacent property owners. However, Legal has advised that this option is far from
ideal as the ownership would revert back to the original owner - in essence
returning to the problem that created the access issues in the first place.
A second option would be to deny the vacation and require the applicant to
develop the street to applicable city standards (excluding the length of the cul-
de-sac). This may require the affected owners to construct the adjacent street
section and then allow the City to maintain the right -of-way for all neighbors,
including the original owner. However this is an expensive solution as the street
construction costs will be borne by only a handful of adjacent owners in a
piecemeal fashion.
A third and recommended option would be to deny the vacation and follow up
the denial with appropriate designation of access and utility easements within
the right of way and create a deferral option for the owner regarding street
Page 28 of 97
improvements. Although this will result in a non-standard and unique
circumstance - it will allow home construction to proceed and retain protection of
accessibility for adjacent owners.
After consideration of these factors - especially the past creation of landlocked
parcels - staff recommends that Council proceed with denial of the vacation as
the option that is most likely to be acceptable to those property owners involved.

Proposed American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Agreement with the Chamber
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:

Corporation, for the Business Support Program with American Rescue Plan Act
funds.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
General Fund (ARPA Funds) - $1,000,000
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan
Act of 2021 (ARPA, HR 1319) to provide federal funding relief for American
workers, families, industries, and state and local governments. The Act provides
over $350 billion to states, counties, tribal governments, territories, and cities,
with a total of $17,464,312 allocated to the City of Pasco in two equal
installments during the calendar years 2021 and 2022.
V. DISCUSSION:
Chamber of Commerce organizations have a long history of serving and being
the voice of the local business community. While there are numerous such
organizations in the country, each chamber is unique with different benefits,
resources, and opportunities that cater to the community they serve.
Page 35 of 97
The Greater Pasco Area Chamber of Commerce (Pasco Chamber) has a strong
history of service and support of the local Pasco businesses. More importantly,
the organization has a proven track record of disseminating federal funds to all
businesses, including underserved businesses, during these difficult times. The
City and the Pasco Chamber have gained important insight into the needs of our
business community during the operation of the Coronavirus Aid and Relief Act
(CARES) business assistance program in 2020. Using this unique experience
and to grant only not assistance will Chamber the knowledge, provide
businesses in need, but create an education program to assist businesses in
critical areas such as accounting, regulatory compliance, business development,
market analysis, and inventory control/organization. Furthermore, this
agreement will allow the Pasco Chamber to create a business portal to provide
local businesses with resources, programs, and other benefits.
Due to the high labor hours needed to engage with our small businesses to assist
in grant applications and education, Staff is recommending a contract of
$1,000,000 and an administrative rate range of 15%-20%. The Pasco Chamber
shall provide the City with a breakdown of administrative cost by program areas.
Staff recommends the approval of the Resolution and Contract.

Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
General Fund (ARPA Funds)
City of Pasco Utility Services - $500,000
Franklin PUD (Electric) - $500,000
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan
Act of 2021 (ARPA, HR 1319) to provide federal funding relief for American
workers, families, industries, and state and local governments. The Act provides
over $350 billion to states, counties, tribal governments, territories, and cities,
with a total of $17,464,312 allocated to the City of Pasco in two equal
installments during the calendar years 2021 and 2022. The City received
$8,732,156 as the first allocation on June 8, 2021, with the remainder of funds
to be dispensed within the next 12 months. Unlike the short window for use of
the CARES Act monies in 2020, ARPA funds must be utilized or obligated prior
to December 31, 2024, and if obligated in a timely manner, utilized by December
31, 2026.
The impacts of the pandemic on our community has been varied and complex.
While the local economy as a whole continues to do better than most
communities across the nation, the inability to work due to health issues or lack
Page 47 of 97
of employment due to business closure outside of City limits, even if improving
recently, has had a detrimental impact on business and household financial
security.
V. DISCUSSION:
Per prior discussion with the City Council, the longer spend-down window for
ARPA funds provides the Council time to develop a well -thought out allocation
plan for use of ARPA dollars, and the flexibility to address immediate needs
within the community. One such emergent need relates to utility assistance for
residential users.
The City provides water, sewer, stormwater, irrigation, and ambulance services
and Franklin Public Utility District (Franklin PUD) provides electric utility services
to the City of Pasco residents. The City of Pasco and Franklin PUD share a
significant overlap in their customer base. Coronavirus Aid and Relief Act
(CARES) Utility Assistance Programs were operated separately by the City and
PUD and we found that it was confusing for our customers and administratively
burdensome for both organizations.
Staff is proposing that the City partner with Franklin PUD and create one
program to assist our customers. Franklin PUD has resources available to
process applications, whereas the City has availability of staff to do house-to-
house customer outreach. The city will work to notify customers of the resources
available and Franklin PUD will process all applications for the program. Staff
proposes that the City of Pasco Utility Service and Franklin PUD bot h receive
$500,000 each to assist customers with their utility service costs. Franklin PUD
did not receive ARPA funding to assist the residents with their utility expenses.
The Utility Assistance Program will:
• Provide assistance to delinquent accounts.
• Provide credits for future utility costs to customers impacted by the
pandemic, but who are current on bills.
• Customers will certify that they are impacted adversely due to the COVID-
19 pandemic.
Staff is working with legal counsel and Franklin PUD on the details of the
program and expects to bring a Resolution for approval during the next regular
meeting. Council would appreciate feedback from Council on this proposal.

Hearing Examiner Recommendation
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. ____, rezoning a portion of the
southeast 1/4 of the southeast 1/4 of Section 16, Township 9 North, Range 29

authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On June 9, 2021, the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing to consider a
request to rezone a parcel comprising approximately 3.5 acres located Near the
northwest corner of Road 68 and Argent Road in Pasco, WA (Parcel No. 117
642 072) from C-1 (Retail Business District) and RS-12 (Suburban) to R-4 (High
Density Residential District).
The site was annexed into the City in 1997 (Ordinance No. 3214) and assigned
C-1 and RS-12 zoning (Ordinance No. 3215) as part of the annexation.
Following the conduct of the public hearing, the Hearing Examiner
recommended approval of the applicant's request for a rezone from C -1 (Retail
Page 49 of 97
Business District) and RS-12 (Suburban) to R-4 (High Density Residential
District).
V. DISCUSSION:
The Comprehensive Plan designates approximately 90% of the property “Mixed
Residential/Commercial,” which allows for residential development at a density
of 5 to 29 dwelling units per acre.” The other 10% of the property is designated
“Low-Density Residential” and may incorporate RS-20, RS-12, R-S-1 and R-1
zoning. The Comprehensive Plan has a degree of flexibility and is not generally
"parcel specific".
The property is considered “infill” property as development has occurred around
it. Due to Pasco’s rapid population increase, developing the remaining infill
properties around the City has become crucial to accommodate future growth.
There was no written appeal of the Hearing Examiner's recommendation.

ANALYSIS
Request
The applicant Kimberly M. Jankelson, on behalf of Road 68 Joint Venture, has submitted a
complete application to rezone the parcel (APN #117 642 072) located on the northwest corner
of W Argent Road and Road 68 from C-1 (Retail Business District) and RS-12 (Suburban) to R-4
(High Density Residential District). The rezone application indicates that the applicant will seek
to construct multi-family housing family housing (apartments) on the site. The R-4 zoning district
is established to provide high density residential dwellings adjacent to arterial streets and
shopping areas. The development standards for multi-family dwellings require 1,500 square feet
of lot area per unit.
The Comprehensive Plan designates approximately 90% of the property “Mixed
Residential/Commercial,” which allows for R-1 (Low Density Residential), R-2 (Medium Density
Residential), R-3 (Medium Density Residential), R-4 (High Density Residential), C-1 (Retail
Business), and Office zoning. The Mixed Residential/Commercial designation is described as
allowing for “Residential development at a density of 5 to 29 dwelling units per acre.” The other
approximately 10% of the property is designated “Low-Density Residential” and may incorporate
RS-20, RS-12, R-S-1 and R-1 zoning.
The rezone request and its intended use are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for 90% of
the site; approximately 10% of the site lies outside the “Mixed Residential/Commercial” land use
designation area.
Site
The site has frontage access on West Argent Road and Road 68 and contains approximately
152,732.69 square feet (3.5 acres). It is currently zoned C-1 (Retail Business District) and RS-12
(Suburban), which is the assigned zoning applied through Ordinance No 3215 on February 3,
1997. Surrounding properties are zoned C-1 (Retail Business) and RS-12 (Suburban), and include
SFDUs (north and west), a vacant lot (east), a restaurant and a small commercial area (south).
The site is currently vacant.
History
Page 55 of 97
3
The site was annexed into the City in 1997 (Ordinance No 3214) and assigned C-1 and RS-12
zoning (Ordinance No 3215) as part of the annexation.
Rezone Criteria
The initial review criteria for considering a rezone application are explained in PMC 25.210.030.
The criteria are listed below as follows:
1. The date the existing zone became effective:
The current zoning classification has been in place since its annexation in 1997 (Ordinance No
3215).
2. The changed conditions, which are alleged to warrant other or additional zoning:
Applicant is seeking to “build high density housing without introducing unnecessary businesses
on the first level of all housing units.” The site is considered “infill” property as the property is
within the City limits and development is occurring on surrounding properties to the north, east,
and west. The Department of Community and Economic Development has conducted a Land
Capacity Analysis indicating that less than 14% of residential zoning accommodates multi-family
housing. Of the remaining vacant residential parcels (as of October 2018), less than five percent
can accommodate multi-family housing. There are approximately 0.82 vacant R-4 (High Density
Residential) acres available in the City.
The 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan adopts references for promoting housing supply, diversity
and support for increased residential densities adjacent to public facilities (parks, schools,
transportation) and commercial centers. The rezone application is consistent with Comprehensive
Plan and meets the intent of the Mixed/Residential Commercial Land Use while providing
necessary housing opportunities for the community.
3. Facts to justify the change on the basis of advancing the public health, safety and general
welfare:
The rezone application and proposal are consistent with the Pasco Comprehensive Plan, which
has been determined to be in the best interest of advancing public health, safety and general
welfare of the community. The rezone allows for the construction of multi-family housing, which
is severely lacking within the Pasco City Limits.
The Comprehensive Plan designates approximately 90% of the site with the “Mixed
Residential/Commercial” Land Use, which permits a variety of zoning districts including R-1, R-2,
R-3, R-4, C-1 and Office. As such, the proposed rezone change to the R-4 zoning district is
permitted for this area and within the parameters of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
Approximately 10% of the land is designated for Low-Density Residential development, and may
be zoned RS-20, RS-12, R-S-1, or R-1. However the Comprehensive Plan land use designations are
not necessarily “parcel specific” and ate intended to provide a degree of flexibility.
Page 56 of 97
4
4. The effect it will have on the value and character of the adjacent property and the
Comprehensive Plan:
A change in zoning classification may ultimately result in the development of multi-family
dwelling units. Potential residents would have access to nearby neighborhood commercial
establishments, public facilities, parks, schools and public transportation options. Interstate I-182
is also proximal.
Most of the rezone application is consistent with and meets the intent of the goals and policies of
the Comprehensive Plan.
5. The effect on the property owner or owners if the request is not granted:
If the property remains with the current zoning designation (C-1 and RS-12), the opportunity for
housing supply that meets the market and community demands will not be provided.
6. The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the property
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation is Mixed Residential/Commercial (approximately
90%) and Low-Density Residential (approximately 10%).
7. Such other information as the Hearing Examiner requires
The rezone application is consistent with and meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, and
City Council Goals on housing. The opportunity for additional housing, specifically multi-family
within the R-4 zoning district supports City findings that a lack of housing supply and affordability
exist within the City Limits. The rezone application is consistent with the 2020-2024 Tri-Cities
Consortium Consolidated Plan focused on strategic planning efforts for creating housing
opportunities in the region.
STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT

20. The site was annexed into the City in 1997.
21. The site was assigned C-1 and RS-12 zoning as part of the annexation.
TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a rezone, the Hearing Examiner must develop
findings of fact from which to draw its conclusions based upon the criteria listed in PMC
25.210.060. The criteria are as follows:
1. The proposal is in accordance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The rezone application and proposal are in accordance with the Goals and Policies of the Pasco
Comprehensive Plan for approximately 90% of the property. The Comprehensive Plan designates
Page 58 of 97
6
around 90% of the site with the Mixed Residential/Commercial Land Use allowing single-family
and/or multi-family housing at a density of 5-29 dwellings per acre.
The following is intended to serve as an abbreviated list of relevant Comprehensive Plan Goals
and Policies addressed by the rezone application.
Land Use Policy LU-4-A: Encourage infill and higher density uses within proximity to major travel
corridors and public transportation service areas
Land Use Policy LU-4-B: Encourage the development of walkable communities by increasing
mixed-use (commercial/residential) developments that provide households with neighborhood
and commercial shopping opportunities
Housing Goal H-1: Encourage housing for all economic segments of the city’s population
consistent with the local and regional market
Housing Policy H-1-A: Allow for a full range of housing including single family homes, townhouses,
condominiums, apartments, manufactured housing, accessory dwelling units, zero-lot-line,
planned unit developments, etc.
2. The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will not be materially detrimental.
The Comprehensive Plan designates approximately 90% of the property as “Mixed
Residential/Commercial”, allowing the R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, C-1 and Office zoning districts.
Residential housing is permitted in the Mixed Residential/Commercial designated areas at a
range of 5-29 dwellings per acre. The application for rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan Land Use, and meets the intent of the Goals and Policies for about 90% of the property. The
proposal will not be materially detrimental to the immediate vicinity.
3. There is merit and value in the proposal for the community as a whole.
The proposed rezone application is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and
the Goals and Policies as adopted by the Pasco City Council (Resolution No 3998) for about 90%
of the property. The site has public transportation access via Ben Franklin Transit (Routes 67 and
268). The site is within proximity to Interstate I-182 and the Road 68 commercial corridor
Page 59 of 97

providing access to the employers and shopping opportunities. Numerous parks, public schools
and recreational facilities are within close distance, including:
• Chiawana High School: 0.76 mi
• McLoughlin Middle School: 1.50 mi
• Livingston Elementary School: 1.30 mi
• Pasco Sporting Complex: 1.54 mi
• Park at Chapel Hill: 1.0 mi
• I-182 Bike/Pedestrian Trail: 1.05 mi
4. Conditions should be imposed in order to mitigate any significant adverse impacts from
the proposal.
The rezone application and assumed resulting project are subject to the regulations and
requirements of the Pasco Municipal Code and the City of Pasco Design and Construction
Standards. The Design and Construction Standards require a Traffic Study for proposals that
generate 25 or more peak hour trips. The Environmental Checklist (SEPA) prepared for the rezone
indicated that the proposal would generate 369.92 daily trips per the ITE Trip Generation Manual
(10th Edition). The City (Lead Agency) issued a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) on May
11, 2021 advising for the following likely mitigations upon project submittal:
Likely Mitigation Upon Project Application:
a) An inadvertent discovery protocol must be established for the potential discovery of
cultural or historical artifacts before or during improvements/construction.
b) A traffic impact (TIA) analysis is likely considering the ITE Trip Calculation preformed. It is
the responsibility of the developer to inform the City as to whether they would like to
self-perform the TIA or if they would like the City to do it.
c) There is a City project at the intersection of Road 68 and Argent, the developer shall
coordinate with the Capital Improvement Engineering group to ensure all frontage
improvements required for this project match that project.
d) The existing driveway ingress/egress to 2314 Road 68 is located on this parcel. If this is
to remain for their use, a shared access easement shall be executed.
e) Ben-Franklin Transit currently has a bus stop at this location; applicant shall coordinate
with BFT to upgrade the stop for ADA compliance.
5. A Concomitant Agreement should be entered into between the City and the petitioner,
and if so, the terms and conditions of such an agreement.
A concomitant agreement would not be required in this circumstance.

Current zoni ng: 93% C-1 and 7% RS-12
Requested Zoning:_R_-_4 __________________________ _
Describe the na ture and effect of the proposed change: In order to allow development of property to
accomodate high density housing, which is in short supply in the Tri-Cities, unincombered by the
current zoning mandate to have only commercial/retail occupancies on the main floors of any
structures built (under the current zoning designation), it is necessary to redefine the zoning
catagory.
Estimated time frame of development: Within a year of obtaining the new zoning classification.
Updated JUiy 2019
Page 84 of 97
'-w
What conditions warrant the proposed rezone? The inability to build high density housing without
introducing unnecessary businesses on the first level of all housing units, at a time when commercial
business spaces were at a surplus, and building prices on the uptick, make development (and re
sultant rental prices) beyond feasible, where market values in the area do not support those levels.
How will the proposed rezone advance the health, safety, and general welfare of the community?
The planned high density housing deve lpoment will bring many famil ies closer to schools, shopping,
public transit, and, for some, safer neighborhoods.
What effect will the proposed change have on the value and character of adjacent property?
As long as the development is designed in accordance with the relevant municipal and building
codes, there should be no adverse affect on the adjacent commercial & residential properties.
How does the proposed rezone relate to the City's Comprehensive Plan? _________ _
The rezone allows the developer to address the City's need for adequate and affordable housing
in an area where urban services are adequately provided and reduce urban sprawl.
What effect will be realized by the owner(s) if the proposed rezone is not granted? ______ _
Either the property will remain undeveloped or sold as a commercial only building parcel.
NOTE: Provide a variance report giving a list and mailing address of owners of all property within 300
feet of the appl icant's property, as shown by a local title company OR payment of $50.00 which shall
be utilized by the City to obtain a current list of property owners of all properties within 300 feet of
the appl icant's property.

FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, AND RECOMMENDATION
Jankelson/Road 68 Joint Venture Rezone, Z 2021-005
June 14, 2021
_______________________________________________
1. FINDINGS OF FACT
1.1 Proposal. Rezone a vacant 3.5 acre parcel from C-1 (Retail Business) and RS-12
(Suburban) to R-4 (High Density Residential).
Location. Northwest corner of Road 68 and West Argent Road, Pasco, WA. Assessor
Parcel No. 117-642-072. Lot 2, Binding Site Plan 2003-10.1
Applicant. Kimberly M. Jankelson / Road 68 Joint Venture, P. O. Box 98210,
Lakewood, WA 98496-0210.
1.2 Land Use Designations and Rezone Request. The Comprehensive Plan
designates approximately 90% of the site Mixed Residential/Commercial and approximately
10% of the site Low-Density Residential. Mixed Residential/Commercial designation allows for
R-4 zoning and is intended for a combination of mixed-use residential and commercial uses,
including single-family and multi-family housing at a density of 5-29 dwelling units per acre.
Low-Density Residential designation is for single-family residential uses and does not allow for
R-4 zoning. Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows:
North: RS-12 and C-1, single-family residences and vacant land
East: C-1 and R-4, restaurant and vacant land
South: C-1, commercial
West: RS-12, single-family residences
With the current C-1 and RS-12 zoning, multi-family housing is not allowed. The
Applicant is seeking a rezone to R-4, which permits the creation of lots at a minimum 1,500
square feet and would allow for multi-family housing construction. The rezone request and its
intended use are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for 90% of the site; approximately 10%
of the site lies outside the Mixed Residential/Commercial land use designation. However, this
limited area has an unusual shape and does not follow property boundary lines though the zoning
does, producing an inconsistency. Overall, the requested R-4 zoning would better meet Plan
intent for the area.2

Recommendation, Rezone, Z 2021-005
1.3 Hearing. An open record public hearing was held on June 9, 2021. Due to
COVID-19 restrictions, the hearing was conducted remotely, with the Examiner, Department,
and Applicant calling in. Access information was available to the public to allow citizens to join
via either a video link or telephone call-in. There were no reported technical difficulties during
the call or afterwards. However, in case any citizens who wished to comment had difficulty
calling in, the record was kept open through June 10. No additional written comments were
received. The Department, through Mr. White, summarized the proposal and the Applicant, Mr.
Jankelson, testified. There was no public comment.
1.4 Notice. Public notice was mailed to property owners within 300 feet and
published in the Tri-City Herald on May 18, 2021. No concerns on notice were received. City
notice requirements have been met.3
1.5 SEPA. The Community and Economic Development Department (“Department”)
issued an unappealed Determination of Non-Significance recommending mitigation on project
submittal (Conditions 1-5).4
1.6 Evidence Reviewed. The Examiner admitted the Department’s Staff Report,
which attached maps (overview, vicinity, use, zoning, and comprehensive plan), photographs of
the surrounding area, and the DNS. Except as revised, the Staff Report is incorporated into these
findings.
1.7 Utilities. Municipal water and sewer.
1.8 Access. West Argent Road and Road 68.
1.9 Rezone Considerations. A rezone to R-4 implements the Comprehensive Plan,
and is in accord with its goals and policies, which encourage development of lands designated
for high-density residential uses when or where utilities are available, the location is suitable for
multi-family residences, and there is a market demand for such residences. The rezone allows for
the construction of multi-family housing, which is needed in Pasco. There are traffic impacts
which will be evaluated on a project specific basis, as the DNS outlines. Also, with greater
densities, economic opportunities can arise from use co-location, which can reduce vehicle trips.
The rezone will contribute to infill of affordable housing opportunities adjacent to public
facilities (parks, schools, transportation) and commercial centers for residents of the community.
2. CONCLUSIONS
The Examiner issues a rezone recommendation based on whether:
(a) The proposal is in accord with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive
Plan;
(b) The effect of the proposal on the immediate vicinity will be materially
detrimental;
