IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
As Council is aware, the City is in the midst of working with the consultant MIG
to conduct a revamp/overhaul of the City's Park, Recreation and Open Space
(PROS) Master Plan. By the end of 2021, MIG completed most of the first two
phases of the process. Information gathered to date will help identify needs,
opportunities and the future vision for Pasco's parks and recreation system.
The goals of the PROS Master Plan update are:
1. To create an actionable plan that is in line with the City's projected growth,
its newly completed comprehensive land use plan and to better project
upcoming capital projects
2. To identify community needs, gaps and priorities
3. To stay in compliance with the State requirements and remain eligible for
future RCO grant funding
Page 3 of 177
The goals of the plan are based around the Council, staff and community visions
that, "Pasco will be known for having the best parks, recreation, and open
space system in the Tri-Cities."
The timeline for the project is to complete the plan by May 31, 2022. This will be
the second of the three planned Council presentations throughout the process.
MIG will be attending this meeting virtually.
V. DISCUSSION:
For this second interaction with the City Council, MIG's update will include a brief
presentation that summarizes work completed to date highlighting key findings.
It includes:
1. The updated park and recreation inventory, base mapping and review of
existing resources;
2. Community composition, equity and system accessibility information;
3. Results from meetings with the Master Plan Advisory Committee, Parks
Advisory Board, City staff and others;
4. Results of the online community survey; and
5. Important next steps in the planning process.
This is a discussion item only at this time. Staff and the consultant welcome
feedback Council can provide at this time.

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Inclusivity Commission was established in February 2018 by Resolution No.
3820 as a limited term (12/31/19) ad hoc commission for the purpose(s) as
outlined in its Charter, Resolution No. 3820 attached.
With the first few meetings focused on organization, familiarization with the
assigned purpose(s) of the Commission, familiarization with the City as an
organization, and preliminary planning efforts, the newly formed Commission
began a strategic planning process in December 2018 and additional facilitated
Page 20 of 177
work sessions were held in the first quarter of 2019. The Commission's work
plan and extension through December 31, 2020, along with a name change from
Inclusivity Commission to Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Commission (IDEC)
was approved by City Council on June 3, 2019, by Resolution No. 3906.
IDEC conducted its first community outreach and engagement forum event in
September 2019, with further outreach and engagement efforts at community
events at the 2019 Cinco de Mayo and the Fiery Foods festivals.
As a result of turnover on the commission, COVID-19 restrictions, and the
orientation of four new commissioners, IDEC was unable to effectively pursue
the purpose and goals of its Charter. As a result, the Commission subsequently
requested of Council an additional extension through December 31, 2021, with
the conditiothat hope effectively could that such they would ns improve
prosecute their charter. Through Resolution No. 3992, Council extended the
term of commission, and commissioners, through December 31, 2021.
V. DISCUSSION:
With the term of the Commission coming to an end, the remaining IDEC
commission members elected to prepare recommendations and a presentation
for City Council, titled Final Report. These documents are intended to highlight
actions taken by the commission, and provide recommendations for the inclusion
in the upcoming Strategic Equity Plan process and the workplan of the Arts and
Culture Commission (see recommendation #1 below).
IDEC Recommendation Resources (attached):
1. Religious and Cultural Holidays, Festivals and Observances Calendar:
Per the attachment, IDEC recommends that "This list should be given to
the Arts and Cultures commission for cross referencing as well as to help
define the importance and summary of each day and event listed to the
City Council if IDEC is not continued."
2. List 3Groups (Page and Organizations Community Local -of 4
Presentation Outline Notes): This is a recommended list to improve
community engagement.
3. the of recommendations Includes several Final of Outline Report:
Commission which will be discussed during the presentation by IDEC.
No action is necessary this evening, Council to take the reports and presentation
under advisement. Staff is suggesting that this issue is ripe as a Council Retreat
item where there would be ample time for a thorough discussion and evaluation
of the the recommendations presented and alternatives discussed in
Commission's Final Report with respect to the a DEI focused commission going
forward.

IDEC as a long-term tool
•Opportunity for new commissioner onboarding
Extend
Consider participating in or sponsoring community event collaborations such as
the MLK Day of Service event.

Overall Conclusions
Despite the challenges
IDEC has benefited
the people of Pasco
and provided insight to
the council.
Establishing the
IDEC, proves the
city’s commitment to
equity, inclusion, and
true leadership.
IDEC is dedicated to
serving the people of
our city and has
strictly followed all
mandates
Promoting Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion
requires a collective
effort.
It cannot fall on the
shoulders of one
commission, one
council, or one staff
It’s every city staff and
council member's
responsibility to be a
part of equitable and
inclusive actions to build
internal capacity and
sustainability.
DEI must be
embedded in
EVERYTHING that
the city does. Page 41 of 177

Outline of IDEC Final Report Presentation
I.Introduction and Explanation
A.Brief Overview of Procedural History (2019-2021):this commission was established
by the Pasco City Council in 2019.
B.Listening Sessions and Community Engagement: a core component of our work,
they were intended to be held on a quarterly basis and rotated through each city
council district. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, changes were made to this plan to
better adapt to the challenges presented by the pandemic.
C.Forming the Work Plan: an essential part of our work was developing a plan that
would allow the council and the public to see what we were doing, what this
commission intends to do, and that could be adapted as needed to meet any
challenges that could occur during the course of our work. This plan was first
organized in 2019, and then refined and approved by the commission in January
2021. A presentation was also given to the city council exploring the plan in depth
and soliciting their feedback.
D.Impact of COVID-19 and IDEC Response: overall the pandemic and the safety
measures designed to promote public safety presented unique challenges for our
commission, especially as it relates to key elements of our work plan. However, we
have been able to adapt and provide a strong foundation for future commissions to
build on.
II.Goals Highlighted from the Work Plan and Actions Taken
A.1C.Support and promote diverse cultural and heritage events in Pasco.
1.Diverse Calendar (link/attachment provided by Carly)
B.2A. Hold Inclusion, Diversity and Equity meetings in the community on a quarterly
basis as well as Improve engagement with the City.:as highlighted earlier in the
presentation, COVID-19 and the safety measures adopted by our state government
required us to adapt this goal. To date we have held two listening sessions with the
community, one just before the onset of the pandemic, and one on December 1st.
While not being able to hold events in person has been challenging, we have worked
hard to adapt and develop an effective blueprint for future commissions to follow.
Nevertheless, to assist in improving community engagement with the IDE
Commissioners have provided a list of community organizations and local groups.
1.Local Community Organizations and Groups (see attached page)
C.3A. Introduce evaluation/assessment tools and 3B.Introduce annual inclusion audit
and scorecard: To accomplish goals 3A and 3B, IDEC recommends that council
review and utilize the 28 page Government Alliance on Race and Equity’s (GARE)
Racial Equity Toolkit provided by Commissioner Chambers-Smith during her
strategic planning presentation. The Toolkit is designed to support local
governments in integrating “explicit consideration of racial equity in decisions,
including policies, practices, programs, and budgets.”

D.3C. Help the City of Pasco develop a strategic equity plan: IDEC provided Council a
Strategic Equity Plan Outline. An Equity plan is in the 2021/2022 biennial budget to
include practices, procedures, and inclusive strategies however pending hiring
consultants.
E.3D.Recommend opening trainings to be accessible to the community and
local business owners looking to educate themselves on diversity, equity, and
inclusion.

F.Overall Comment:It’s important for the Council to understand that diversity,
equity, and inclusion requires a collective effort. It cannot fall on the shoulders of
one commission, one council, or one staff. It is every city staff and council
member's responsibility to be a part of equitable and inclusive actions to build
internal capacity and sustainability. DEI needs to be embedded in EVERYTHING
that the city does.
III.Recommendations for Council
A.Establish IDEC as a permanent standing commission with staggered terms for
commissioners similar to how the other boards and commissions are organized by
the city.
Page 44 of 177
B.Extend the current commission term until the council decides how it wants to
approach IDEC as a long term tool, and so that any new commissioners chosen can
be onboarded and trained as to what is expected.
C.Consider increasing the number of Commissioners appointed to IDEC to help
ensure quorum at each meeting.
D.Consider Participating and sponsoring in community event collaborations such as
the MLK Day of Service event.

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
This staff report summarizes prior reports to the City Council on the proposed
actions related to Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1923 ("HB 1923").
HB 1923 is intended to increase housing supply choices for our residents,
flexibility for developers, and opportunities for property owners. The proposed
actions are not a mandate or requirement, however, they do provide options for
those seeking flexibility for housing choices from both the supplier and consumer
sides.
Pasco and many other communities across the country are evaluating
opportunities to eliminate barriers to housing affordability. In the State of
Washington, housing affordability is intensified by the shortage and cost of
buildable lands and increasing cost and dependability of materials. It should be
emphasized that housing affordability and affordable housing are two different
products. Affordable housing is government-subsidized housing for low-income
Page 76 of 177
households. Housing affordability is the general level of housing prices relative
to the general level of household or family incomes.
The Pasco City Council directed staff in the Fall of 2019 to explore actions that
would increase residential building capacities through HB 1923. Staff was
notified in November 2019, that three proposed ac tions the City selected were
awarded grant funding by the Washington State Department of Commerce. The
grant from the Department of Commerce funded the Pasco Municipal Code
(PMC) changes (actions) intended to encourage the production of more housing
and a greater variety of housing types.
The three proposed actions are summarized below:
Action 1:
Authorize at least one duplex, triplex, or courtyard apartment on each parcel in
one or more zoning districts that permit single-family residences, unless a City
documents specific infrastructure or physical constraints that would make this
unfeasible for a particular parcel.
Action 2*:
Authorize cluster zoning or lot size averaging in all zoning districts that permit
single-family residences.
Action 3:
Authorize attached accessory dwelling units on all parcels containing single -
family homes where the lot is at least three thousand two hundred square feet in
size and permit both attached and detached accessory dwelling units on all
parcels containing single-family homes, provided lots are at least four thousand
three hundred fifty-six square feet in size.
Action 2 was adopted in April 2021, and Actions 1 and 2 have been discussed
with Council at workshop meetings in May and November 2021.
Policy Guidance
The following provides an overview of the plans, policies, goals, and objectives
that have been adopted by the State of Washington, regional and local agencies
implemented with the proposal.
City of Pasco - Council Goals 2020-2021 (Resolution No. 3985)
The City of Pasco develops a set of goals every two years based on input from
community members. The input was collected over a series of dates and forums
in February and March 2020, and the 2019 National Citizen Survey. The goals
below are part of a larger set of strategies adopted by the Pasco City Council on
September 21, 2020.
Page 77 of 177
City of Pasco 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan (Ordinance No. 4537)
Adopted on June 7, 2021, the Comprehensive Plan is a statement of goals and
policies that outlines the community’s vision for the future. The Plan guides city
decisions on how to address rapid population growth, including housing.
2020-2024 Tri-Cities Consortium Consolidated Plan (Resolution No. 3919)
The plan represents a continuing collaboration of the Cities of Kennewick,
Richland, and Pasco in developing common goals to meet affordable housing
and public service needs.
Environmental Determinations
The City (Lead Agency) issued the Environmental (SEPA) Determination of Non-
Significance on December 21, 2020, for Action 1 (Duplex, Triplex, and Courtyard
Apartments) and on May 24, 2021, for Action 3 (Accessory Dwellings) indicating
that the proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the
environment.
Public notice was distributed and published in the Tri-City Herald as required by
Pasco Municipal Code (PMC 25.210.040).
Public Hearings and Workshops
The City held meetings in 2020 and 2021 to discuss the merits of Actions 1 and
2. Between the two, there were 11 total meetings, including seven public
hearings. The city received one formal comment in support of accessory
dwellings, one phone call expressing concern on the increasing residential
densities, and one letter of support from the Washington State Department of
Commerce (attached).
Action 1 (Duplexes, Triplexes, and Courtyard Apartments) was presented to the
Pasco City Council Workshop on May 10, 2021. During that meeting, staff
received a comment regarding potential impacts on the R-S-20 zoning district in
the "Riverview" and recently annexed areas, and, the overlay applied to the
areas bound by Interstate I-182, U.S. 395, and the Columbia River. These items
have been addressed in the Discussion section of this staff report.
Community and Stakeholder Input
City staff referenced results from the 2020 National Citizen Survey, and created
and distributed a survey to housing and development stakeholders in the Fall of
2020 for the Housing Choices Survey. The results below are from those surveys.
- 57% - Housing prices are forcing residents to seek housing outside of Pasco
- 95% - More housing options are strongly needed in Pasco
- 77% - Support or strongly support allowing more duplexes
- 64% - Support or strongly support allowing more triplexes
Page 78 of 177
- 55% - Support or strongly support allowing both attached and detached
accessory dwellings
- 74% - Support affordable housing incentives
- 65% - Support zoning changes to increase housing supply
- 61% - Support letting the "market" decide
Of particular concern received, was the cost of land, which ranked as the highest
barrier to housing development. The proposed amendments for Council review
are consistent with, and, address community and stakeholder input received on
creating more housing opportunities for Pasco residents.
The rapid increase of housing costs has created additional challenges for our
builders to meet housing demands and the stress for residents searching for
housing with limited options. According to the Washington Center for Real Estate
Research, housing affordability constraints have worsened between 2017-2020.
Pasco's Composite Housing Affordability has decreased by 9% for all
households, and 9.5% for first-time buyers. The median price for three and four-
bedroom homes have increased 32% between 2017-2019.
The National Association of Realtors has calculated that the mortgage payments
in Franklin County have increased 7.5% from last year to an average of $1,120.
The median gross rent in Pasco was $922 in 2019 per 2015 -2019 Census
Community Survey estimates. The average rent for a two-bedroom apartment is
$1,204 and $1,392 for a three-bedroom based on currently available rental
listings.
An additional indicator is the housing price -to-income ratio, which is the ratio of
the price of a median home to that of the median annua l household income.
Nationally, the sale price of a single-family home in 2017 was 4.2 times higher
than the median household income, an increase from 3.3 in 2011. Meaning that
a family must invest four times their annual income for the purchase of their
home. Regionally, our ratio has increased from 2.57 in 2000 to 3.88 in 2017.
V. DISCUSSION:
The purpose of HB 1923 is to increase housing supply choices for our residents,
flexibility for builders, and opportunities for property owners. It is not a mandate or
requirement, but it does provide options for residents in search of housing, and,
builders and developers seeking to provide the necessary supply.
The proposal for Action 1 (duplex, triplex, or courtyard apartment) is often regarded
as the "missing middle" and is beneficial because of the opportunity to be
affordable by design. Because they can be attached homes, land costs are shared
and construction costs can be lower per home compared with larger single -family
dwellings. These housing options are scaled to provide additional housing that fits
Page 79 of 177
in with the existing neighborhood design and helps builders respond to the demand
for neighborhood living.
The primary barrier to more housing diversity is the restrictions placed on them.
Nationally, attached homes are prohibited on 75% of residential lands. In Pasco,
we restrict 84% of our residentially zoned land. Lifting the restrictions also helps
to solve the mismatch between the limited housing supply and the growing demand
for increased access within proximity to our walkable neighborhoods, schools,
parks, and retail areas.
Similarly, accessory dwelling units (ADU) are low-impact homes and can be a
popular way to re-invest in your existing property. An ADU provides all of the same
basic functions and facilities as typical homes 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 embedded in many low -density
single-family neighborhoods across the county. Accessory dwelling units can be
attached or detached from the main dwelling and are designed in many shapes,
sizes and configurations. Because of this flexibility, ADUs can be created to fit
unobtrusively within neighborhoods.

Action 3 Recommendations
The table below is based on the recommendations from the Pasco Planning
Commission. Criteria that are part of the House Bill 1923 and 2343 Legislations
are marked with an asterisk*.
Criteria Recommendation Rationale
*Detached ADUs None
The City already allows for
Attached (PMC ADUs
25.165.040). Detached
ADUs provide the most
privacy for all residents and
may provide a better living
arrangement for those who
want an ADU but do not
wish to have someone else
living in the same physical
structure.
*Off-Street Parking
Requirements None
On many lots, building an
additional parking spot is
either impossible or highly
undesirable; building
parking spaces add
to the significant costs
homeowner and additional
curb cuts present potential
safety hazards.
*Owner Occupancy
Requirements Remove
Limiting the construction
and permitting of ADUs to
owner-occupancy restricts
the availability of housing
our available for rapidly
growing community, it also
limits financial the
incentives for existing
Page 81 of 177
homeowners who may
benefit from renting an ADU
on their lot.
*Maximum Unit Size
Shall not exceed
1,000 square feet or
55% total the of
square footage of
primary the
residence or
dwelling, whichever
is smaller.
Size limits can ensure that
the ADU is an accessory to
the main home. Size limit
regulations be also can
increasinfor helpful g the
supply of small, affordable
housing. This standard thus
serves as a cap, particularly
for large lots where other
requirements do not
otherwise constrain the
maximum ADU size.
Design Standards
Allow for a design
that is
complimentary, but
necesnot sarily
identical to the
primary dwelling.
design standards Flexible
can allow homeowners to
consider use the of
modular/prefab units that
can reduce costs and time
required for construction.
Height
Shall be no taller
primary than the
dwelling or 25 feet,
whichever is less.
Accessory structures should
complement primary the
dwelling but shall be
constructed to indicate it is
accessory in nature.
Existing/Unpermitted
ADUs
Create opportunities
to bring non-
conforming units to
current standards.
Although unpermitted units
raise issues, they are often
rented belowat -market
rents. Allowing homeowners
with unpermitted units to
bring nonconforming ADUs
to building code creates a
safer living environment for
tenants and retains much-
needed naturally affordable
housing.
Rear Yard Coverage
Detached ADUs can
occupy no more
than 60% of the rear
yard.
The 60% percent threshold
would be flexible to allow for
most to yards residential
feasibly construct a DADU
but would prevent rear yards
from comprising an
overburdensome amount of
pavement or building
Page 82 of 177
structure(s) preserving open
space.
Setbacks
1. Side yard
setbacks of the
underlying
residential zoning
district shall apply.
2. Rear Yard
setbacks of the
underlying

privacy concerns.
Minimum Lot Size None
Although there will not be a
minimum for size the lot
construction of an ADU, the
regulations for setback, rear
yard coverage and lot
configurations would
prevent the construction of
ADU on a lot that cannot
feasibly or safely allow for
one.
Bedroom Limit None
Rather than a bedroom limit,
the the of maximum size
ADU, in addition to the lot
coverage, setback, and

principal dwelling
unit (except
telephone,

Efforts should be made to
simplify the experience for
the applicant.
The Department will also
create a standalone guide
for ADU applications to
assist applicants interested
in ADU construction.
There is a considerable amount of research showing that less restrictive land -use
regulations are associated with lower prices. In 2016, the White House published
a Housing Development Toolkit that local policies can act as barriers to housing
supply and that the sum of these barriers (such as zoning) has reduced the ability
of many housing markets to respond to growing demand.
A 2007 report from the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University
referenced studies that have analyzed home values and house appreciation near
multifamily properties. Those studies indicated that higher multifamily areas have
the highest home values and that higher household income was positively
associated with the share of multi-family housing. Homes with apartments or multi-
family housing nearby also experienced slightly higher appreciation rates than
those that did not.
In the fall of 2021, the City of Pasco was one of five cities and counties selected to
participate in the Housing Solutions Workshop, after a national call for applications.
The program, hosted by the New York University Furman Center's Housing
Solution Lab and the Lincoln Insitute of Land Policy helps small and midsize
communities develop and implement comprehensive local housing strategies. City
staff engaged with and discussed with participants from Bozeman (MT), Huntsville
(AL), Kalamazoo (MI), and Bethlehem (PA) housing strategies and solutions. The
solutions workshop reaffirmed that modest changes to zoning can have significant
benefits for communities, including increase access to homeownership, and an
increase in rental housing affordability.

The proposed recommendations allow the City to move towards implementing the
goals of the City Council, Pasco's Comprehensive Plan, and beginning to a ddress
the rapidly growing housing constraints facing community members. Upon
final submit will staff city of proposed the adoption recommendations,
documentation to the Washington State Department of Commerce, completing our
House Bill 1923 efforts. This aligns concurrently with the development of our first
Housing Action Plan. City staff has submitted an application to the Department of
Commerce for funding of the Plan (up to $100,000) which will be considered on
February 4, 2022, pending the status of this (HB 1923) proposal.

stairway allowing interior access from the primary dwelling to the accessory
dwelling to have a connection with enclosed spaces and provide the
appearance as one common dwelling.
b. 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.

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
conversion or change of uses will require frontage improvements as applicable
through PMC 12.36.050.
(iii) Sanitary sewer and surface water services shall be built and permitted as
required in the City of Pasco Standards and Specifications.
(f) Legalization of nonconforming accessory dwellings.
Page 120 of 177
Ordinance – Amending PMC – 25 “Zoning” - 36
(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 16 and this
Chapter. 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.
(ii) Accessory dwelling units legally permitted prior to the enactment of these

I, Matt Watkins, Mayor of Pasco, Washington, authorize the city to propose the attached scope
of work and budget request for E2SHB 1923 grant funding to increase residential building
capacity.
The following items are identified as actions the City of Pasco intends to take action on:
•Authorize at least one duplex, triplex, or courtyard apartment on each parcel in one or
more zoning districts that permit single-family residences.
•Authorize cluster zoning or lot size averaging in all zoning districts that permit single-
family residences.
•Authorize accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on all parcels containing single-family homes.
The intended actions represent an opportunity for the City of Pasco to meet Council goals for
the revitalization of older neighborhoods, improve the efficiency of public and municipal
resources and increase the opportunity for infill development. The expected population growth
will be better accommodated by moving forward with innovative strategies identified by the
intended actions in HB 1923.
The ongoing Comprehensive Plan efforts have included updated goals and policies that align
with the intent of HB 1923 while recently adopted code amendments have allowed for more
flexibility in housing construction via reduced lot sizes and frontages, height increases and the
utilization of shared (private) access ways in hard to develop lots.
We agree to adopt the ordinances and/or plans that result from the grant, by April 1, 2021,
acknowledging that, at minimum, the actions must meet the requirements of E2SHB 1923.
Sincerely,
Matt Watkins
Mayor

RE: E2SHB 1923 Grant – Increasing Residential Building Capacity
Dear Mayor Watkins:
I am pleased to inform you that the city of Pasco has been awarded $40,872.00 in grant funds for the
2019-21 Biennium to assist with increasing urban residential building capacity and streamlining
regulations. The Washington State Legislature created this new grant program under Engrossed Second
Substitute House Bill (E2SHB) 1923 (Chapter 348, Laws of 2019), which provides a number of eligible
land use planning activities for cities to consider implementing to increase housing capacity.
Your jurisdiction recently submitted a grant application, identifying actions it intends to develop and
adopt, as well as its grant funding need to assist with this work. Your scope of work and budget must be
consistent with the scope of work and budget included in your grant application.
This grant will be administered by the Washington Department of Commerce, Growth Management
Services unit. Before we disburse the funds, a contract with an agreed upon scope of work and budget
will need to be executed between your organization and the Department of Commerce. Funds may be
retroactively applied to project costs related to your grant scope of work, beginning July 28, 2019, the
effective date of E2SHB 1923.
William Simpson, Senior Planner is available to help you if you have any questions. Please call
(509) 280-3602 or will.simpson@commerce.wa.gov for assistance with this contract going forward.

RE: Code Amendment for Duplex, Triplex and Courtyard Apartments
Dear Pasco City Council:
We applaud the City of Pasco’s choice to pursue the HB 1923 grant to expand the range of housing
choices, and to encourage the development of market-rate and affordable housing in Pasco. We
appreciate the chance to review and comment on proposed amendments to the Pasco Municipal Code
as the City considers new development regulations. Expanding options for lot-size averaging,
accessory dwelling units, and duplex/triplex/courtyard apartments represent an excellent strategy for
strengthening your community. This will provide more affordable housing options to current and
future residents, leverage the City’s existing infrastructure investments, expand your tax base, and
support local demand for new housing in Pasco.
Pasco is one of the fastest growing municipalities in the State. The median sale of housing has
dramatically increased over the last decade, and a majority of renters are cost-burdened. As the cost of
labor and materials increase, it is important for the City to proactively address price and supply issues
through good land use policy. Encouraging and maintaining affordable housing options is critical to
the continued economic growth in the Tri-Cities region. We commend your staff’s work to review the
housing needs of the City before amending the Pasco Municipal Code. The City’s analysis
demonstrates a clear need for more affordable and diverse housing options within Pasco.
The proposed duplex, triplex, and courtyard apartment development code amendments, in concert with
the other HB 1923 code amendments, will expand your housing supply and help the City meet the
housing needs of all economic segments of your population. We strongly encourage you to adopt the
proposed amendments, as local housing policies and regulations are one of the most direct means of
addressing equity in your community. Adoption will demonstrate the City’s commitment equitable,
forward-thinking planning as your community continues to grow and develop.

Within the duplex, triplex, and courtyard code amendment, we particularly like and support:
The introduction of duplexes, triplexes, and courtyard apartments into a wider variety of zones
within the City, including the allowance of the higher density housing options in areas that can
better support such options. These additions will allow for a wider range of housing options
within your residential zones, thereby supporting the housing goals of the Growth Management
Act and market demand for unmet housing needs.
The increase in height to the R-2 zone and the elimination of the maximum lot coverage for
single-family attached or multifamily dwelling units in the R-2, R-3 and R-4 zones. These
changes will allow for more flexibility that will support the addition of duplexes, triplexes, and
courtyard apartments while still conserving open space for the housing units with the setback
requirements.
Congratulations to you and your staff for your work on these amendments. After adoption of all of
these code amendments, we encourage you to monitor progress and consider additional options to
support housing as you implement your new comprehensive plan. If you have any questions about our
comments or any other growth management issues, please contact me at (509) 280-3602. We extend
our continued support to the City of Pasco in achieving the goals of growth management and
strengthening your community.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council January 5, 2022
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager City Council Workshop
Meeting: 1/10/22
FROM: Steve Worley, Director
Public Works
SUBJECT: PWRF Pretreatment Improvements - Update
I. REFERENCE(S):
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City's own and operates an industrial wastewater treatment system, Process
Water Reuse Facility (PWRF), to treat industrial wastewater from food
processors. The PWRF project was initiated nearly three decades ago to attract
food processors to Pasco and has been a success, resulting in 2,000 current
private sector jobs, with more than an additional 1,000 jobs in the pipeline
between the addition of a second Reesers plant, a new Darigold plant and
planned expansions to existing processors. This investment has transformed
Pasco into a major agricultural processing industry hub.
Currently the PWRF system entails a collection system to convey process water
from the processors to the plant, consisting of storage and pumping facilities
which provide minimal primary treatment of the waste, which is then pumped
and land applied as the final treatment phase. The facility operates under an
industrial waste permit issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology,
and is closely monitored by professional and technical City staff.
Page 141 of 177
While recent improvements to the PWRF have addressed urgent system
reliability issues, capacity related improvements are necessary to sufficiently
treat current Processor wastewater such that they continue to meet Ecology
permitted limits, and to accommodate future growth.
The PWRF is approaching it capacity and requires expansion to allow new
processors access to the facility and existing processors to further expand their
operations.
Sustainable Energy Ventures (SEV), a renewable natural gas (RNG) Project
Developer, has made a proposal to the City and to the processors to privately
develop a new industrial wastewater treatment process along with a renewable
natural gas plant at the PWRF.
SEV’s proposal includes the design and construction of two low rate anaerobic
digester (LRAD) ponds along with biological nitrogen removal for a more
comprehensive wastewater treatment system. The proposed LRAD and
nitrogen removal system will bring the PWRF industrial wastewater below
Ecology-permitted nitrogen levels, which will allow for expanded use of the
wastewater for irrigation onto the City-owned farm circles as a final treatment
process. The aforementioned improvements will result in additional capacity of
the PWRF and allow for expansion of existing processors and new processors.
There proposed improvements represent a significant by SEV, the processors
and the City. As a first step to test feasibility, SEV is proposing to complete a
30% engineering design of the LRAD system at a cost of $155,000. The PWRF
Processors have agreed to share on a pro-rata basis the cost of this effort.
SEV’s proposal also includes the design and construction of a gas cleanup
system for the methane that is produced as part of the LRAD system, this e ffort
would be at SEV's sole expense. The methane gas generated by the new
treatment process would be cleaned up to make renewable natural gas, which
will then be sold on the RNG voluntary market. This would provide a revenue
stream to SEV (and potentially to the City as well) and is the basis of SEV's
interest in the private-public-private partnership.
If successful, this venture could result in the processors having reliable state of
the art treatment facilities with room to expand, the City an updated treatment
system that would lessen the need for acquisition of future land for final
treatment, and SEV a plant and process by which to sell reclaimed gas into the
RNG Voluntary market.
V. DISCUSSION:
Page 142 of 177
City staff has been working with the PWRF Processors and SEV staff to
determine if the LRAD and RNG systems are a good match and solution for the
PWRF. Getting both the LRAD and RNG systems to a 30% design level will
provide the necessary details to determine if this proposal has merit, what the
projected costs might be (capital and operational) both of which will help to
determine if the proposal moves forward.
Staff will provide an overview of the analysis completed thus far, and would like
Council's feedback on this proposed concept.

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
The 2021- 2022 Biennial budget allocated REET 2 funds for the following four
projects that make up the complete Burns Road Pathway project. With the recent
budget amendment for 2022 and the low bids received, the following table
compares available funding for each project phase to updated project cost
estimates based on recent bid results.

Rd. 93/Powerline Pathway $127,000 $70,000 $57,000
Totals $675,000 $725,000 -$50,000
If all three phases are approved, a shortfall of $50,000 is estimated based on
bids.
Page 160 of 177
Note: The estimated project costs include all projects costs including; preliminary
design, preparation of plans and specifications, permitting and coordination, bid
process, construction costs (bids as discussed below) and construction
management.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Burns Road Pathway projects consist of constructing 12-foot-wide asphalt
pathway segments along the south side of Burns Road, and within the PUD
easement along the Road 93 alignment. These improvements will provide hard
surfaced pedestrian access from nearby neighborhoods to two recently
constructed schools.
Though the work is described in the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) as
four separate projects, staff thought it potentially advantageous to bid all four
projects at the same time, under one potential construction contract. Phase 1
and 2 projects are included as the Base Bid, Phase 3 and the Road 93/Powerline
Pathway projects are included as separate Additive Bid items.
Franklin County PUD permission was required, and obtained, to constru ct
improvements on their easement.
The aforementioned bid format provided the flexibility to entertain bids for the
Phase 3 and the Road 93/Powerline Pathway projects as potentially additive,
and if favorable from a cost-standpoint, recommend their award along with the
base bid improvements. This bid strategy takes advantage of efficiencies and
economies of scale, as well as in this case the potential to provide for complete
and safe pedestrian facilities as soon as practicable.
A Phasing diagram is provided for your reference to accompany the descriptions
below:
• Phase 1: Road 100 to Road 90: This project was bid the in summer of
2021 and bids were rejected. The project was combined with the Phase
2 project into the recent Base Bid.
• Phase 2: Road 90 to Road 84: This project was combined with the Phase
1 project into the recent Base Bid.
• Phase 3: Road 84 to Road 68: This project was included as an Additive
Bid item and could be included with the bid award.
• North Road 93/Powerline Pathway: this project extends along the PUD
powerline easement in the alignment of Road 93 between Wellington
Drive and Burns Road. This project was included as a second Additive
Bid item and could be included with the bid award.
Page 161 of 177
The Phase 1 project was previously advertised for bids on June 21, 2021 and
bids opened on July 13, 2021. Two bids were received. The low bid of
$304,617.57 substantially exceeded the Engineer’s Estimate and the project
budget. It was determined that a variety of market conditions were likely
responsible for the high bids. Therefore, Council rejected all bids at staff's
recommendation.
The current low bid received for the combined Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects is
$321,933.93. This is less than 10% above the low bid received in July 2021 for
just the Phase 1 project.
V. DISCUSSION:
A formal request for bid submittal (Bid Numbers 20012, 21225, 21226, 21306)
for the Burns Road Pathway Phase 1, 2, 3, & N. Rd. 93/Powerline Pathway
Projects was issued on November 12, 2021. Seven (7) bids were received and
opened on December 20, 2021.
In accordance with the bid documents, the low bidder is determined based on
the Base Bid (Phases 1 and 2 Projects). Ellison Earthworks, LLC. was the lowest
responsive bidder with a Base Bid of $321,933.93, below the Engineer’s
Estimate of $467,197.20. City staff reviewed the bid submittal and bid tabulations
and found no exceptions or irregularities.
Based on the favorable bid received, staff recommends award of the Base Bid
and both Additive Bid items to Ellison Earthworks, LLC. in the total amount of
$558,441.31, including Washington State Sales Tax.
Summary of subtotal:
Base Bid - Phases 1 & 2 Projects
$321,933.93
Additive Bid Item A - Phase 3 Project
$157,362.66
Additive Bid Item B - N. Rd. 93/Powerline Pathway Project $59,144.72
corresponding a require will approved, the budget If recommendation
amendment to provide an additional $50,000 from REET 2 fund to fund the
project in its entirety.
