approximately 73.63% of the assessed value within the proposed annexation
area, as described and depicted in Exhibit A of the attached Ordinance.
Staff recommends the inclusion of four (4) additional parcels, two (2) owned by
Pasco School District (Parcels Nos. 114330047 and 114330046) and two (2)
owned by Fred Olberding (Parcels Nos. 114330045 and 114330048), to the

of an area proposed for annexation. The County Assessor has certified that the
petition contained the signatures of property owners representing at least sixty
(60) percent of the assessed value of the proposed annexation area.
V. DISCUSSION:

City subject to the following conditions:

I move to adopt Ordinance No. _____, amending Title 25 of the Pasco Municipal
Code, "Zoning" to increase residential building capacities per Washington State
Engrossed authorize further, and, 1923, Bill House Substitute Second
publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
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 actions 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 hous ing
and a greater variety of housing types.
Action 1:
Page 33 of 152
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 2 was adopted in April 2021 (Ordinance No
4522).
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.
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)
City of Pasco 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan (Ordinance No. 4537)
2020-2024 Tri-Cities Consortium Consolidated Plan (Resolution No. 3919)
Environmental Determinations
The City (Lead Agency) issued the Environmental (SEPA) Determination of Non-
Significance on December 21, 2020, for Action 1 and on May 24, 2021, for Action
3 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).
Community and Stakeholder Input
City staff utilized 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
- 55% - Support or strongly support allowing both attached and detached
accessory dwellings
Page 34 of 152
- 74% - Support affordable housing incentives
- 65% - Support zoning changes to increase housing supply
- 61% - Support letting the "market" decide
The proposed amendments for Council review are consistent with, and, address
community and stakeholder input received on creating more housing
opportunities for Pasco residents.
Public Hearings and Workshops
The City held meetings in 2020 and 2021 to discuss the merits of Actions 1 and
2. Between the two, 12 total meetings have occurred, 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).
Council Workshops in May and November of 2021, and most recently on
January 10, 2022, were held to discuss Actions 1 (Duplexes, Triplexes, and
Courtyard Apartments) and Action 3 (Accessory Dwelling Units). The planning
staff has refined and revised the proposal to amend Title 25 following comments
from the Council, including the addition of specific density ranges applicable to
the zoning districts.
Proposal Summary
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. These housing options are scaled to provide additional
housing that fits in with the existing neighborhood design and helps builders
respond to the demand for neighborhood living.
Action 3 for 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. 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.
V. DISCUSSION:

Action 3 Recommendations
Criteria that are part of the House Bill 1923 and 2343 Legislations are marked with
an asterisk*.
Page 36 of 152
Criteria Recommendation
*Detached ADUs None
*Off-Street Parking Requirements None
*Owner Occupancy Requirements Remove
*Maximum Unit Size
Shall not exceed 1,000 square feet or
55% of the total square footage of the
primary residence or dwelling,
whichever is smaller.
Design Standards
Allow for a design that is
necessarily but not complimentary,
identical to the primary dwelling.
Height Shall be no taller than the primary
dwelling or 25 feet, whichever is less.
Existing/Unpermitted ADUs bring nonto Create opportunities -
conforming units to current standards.
Rear Yard Coverage Detached ADUs can occupy no more
than 60% of the rear yard.
Setbacks
1. Side yard setbacks of the underlying
residential zoning district shall apply.
2. Rear Yard setbacks of the underlying
residential zoning district for accessory
structures shall apply.
distance 3. The minimum between
habitable structures (principal dwelling
and accessory dwelling) shall be 10 feet
and nonbetween 6 feet -habitable
structures (sheds, garages, etc).
Minimum Lot Size None
Bedroom Limit None
Utility Service Requirements
Shall be connected to the utilities of the
principal unit (except dwelling
telephone, television, internet).
Permitting Process Shall be processed ministerial.
The ordinance (attached) includes a new section to the Comprehensive Plan
Chapter (PMC 25.215.015) that specifically indicates the adopted Comprehensive
Plan Land Uses and associated densities for which the zoning districts shall be in
conformance with. While the proposal increases flexibility in the form of housing
types and products, the densities of any application and/or project shall comply
with the adopted range established in the 2018-2038 Pasco Comprehensive Plan.
Page 37 of 152
The density standards for each residential zoning district are now aligned with, but
not outside of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element. For example, the R -1
Low-Density Residential District is a permitted zone in both the Low Density and
Mixed Residential/Commercial Land Uses. Applications for R-1 in the Low-Density
Land Use shall be within the established 2 - 5 dwelling units per acre. In the Mixed
Residential/Commercial Land Use, R-1 applications will be permitted a density
range of 5 - 29 dwelling units per acre. A table describing specific density ran ges
has been added to the proposed section, PMC 25.215.015.
A continued effort to update zoning regulations and streamline processes is
underway, beginning with a presentation to the Pasco Planning Commission held
on January 20, 2022.
The proposed recommendations allow the City to move towards implementing the
goals of the City Council, Pasco's Comprehensive Plan, and beginning to address
the rapidly growing housing constraints facing community members. The results of
Action 1 alone, would increase options from 10% to 78% of all residential
properties in Pasco.
Upon adoption of the proposed recommendations, city staff will submit final
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.

25.161.040 Development Standards.
25.161.010 Purpose.
This chapter establishes the standards for the location and development of accessory dwelling units
(ADUs). The purpose of ADUs is to create new housing units while respecting the aesthetics and
character of existing residential neighborhood development. They can increase the housing stock
of existing neighborhoods in a manner that is less intense than alternatives. ADUs allow more
efficient use of existing housing stock and infrastructure and provide a mix of housing that
responds to changing family needs and smaller households.
25.161.020 Permitted locations.
ADUs are permitted in all residential zoning districts on all parcels containing legally conforming
single-family homes, or where such homes are permitted.
25.161.030 Application and permit procedures.
ADUs shall be permitted uses within the zoning districts specified in 25.161.020 and shall be
processed ministerially or administratively without public hearing, except where such ADUs are
requested in conjunction with a subdivision or short plat application. In such cases, the ADUs shall
be processed in conjunction with the underlying plat or short plat application as otherwise required
by Title 21 PMC.
(1) Any property owner seeking to establish an ADU must submit an official application on a
form provided by the City and obtain all necessary building permits occupancy certificates

small size and low occupancy.
(3) Occupancy and use.
(a) Occupancy of ADUs shall be reserved for residential uses only.
(b) Occupancy of ADUs shall be used for long-term residential purposes and may not
be used for transient occupancy or short-term/vacation rental purposes. Persons residing in

reason to believe code violations exist.
(4) Parking. Off-street parking is not required.
(5) Design. The design of the ADUs shall be complementary to the design of the principal

documentation meets all three (3) criteria below per Washington State
Amendments to the IRC:
a. The ADU is constructed within an existing dwelling unit. This
requires the unit to have an approved doorway between each area or
stairway allowing interior access from the primary dwelling to the accessory
Page 74 of 152
Ordinance – Amending PMC – 25 “Zoning” - 37
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.
c. 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.
(e) Utilities.
(i) Utility lines and impervious surfaces must be identified on required site
planning documents.
(ii) Site development considers all accessory dwellings 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
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.
(i) ADUs existing prior to the enactment of these requirements, which were
not lawfully established at the time of construction, 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 such
ADUs shall be subject to the enforcement provisions as administered through the
Pasco Code Enforcement Hearings Board. It shall be prima facie evidence of a
violation of this Chapter if the City establishes, by a preponderance of the evidence,
that the existing ADU is unpermitted. This may be rebutted by evidence
establishing that a permit was not required at the time of construction.
Page 75 of 152
Ordinance – Amending PMC – 25 “Zoning” - 38
(ii) ADUs lawfully established prior to the enactment of these requirements
shall be considered a lawful nonconforming structure subject to PMC 25.170.
(g) Subdivision of property.
(i) A detached ADU may remain on a lot or parcel where no main building
exists when in 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 complies with all
requirements for single family dwellings, and 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.
Section 13. That Section 25.165.040 entitled “Accessory dwelling units,” of the Pasco

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.

Date:Wednesday, January 19, 2022 6:06:50 PM
[NOTICE: This message originated outside of City of Pasco -- DO NOT CLICK on links or
open attachments unless you are sure the content is safe.]
Hello Jacob:
On behalf of TRIDEC’s membership and board of directors we would like to offer our support for the
proposed actions one and three related to Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1923.
As you know, TRIDEC invited the City of Pasco and representatives from the Port of Pasco, Franklin
County, our local building/real estate organizations and the business community to meet last year to
discuss ways to address the lack of housing related to local job creation in Pasco over the next two
years. You gave a great presentation on the work that the City of Pasco has been doing with the
Washington Department of Commerce’s Housing Team.
Historically, when there are open jobs in the Tri-Cities we have seen in-migration from neighboring
counties and states. In today’s real estate market this source of new employees for existing and new
companies is restricted by pricing and availability of single and multi-family housing. The options
and flexibility offered by your actions one and three are needed to begin adding to our housing stock
and meet some of the recent demand.
While adopting your recommended changes into Pasco’s code won’t address all of the housing
issues we face locally, it will be the first step toward pro-actively addressing the demand for housing
options and keep Pasco a great place to live and work.
Please let us know how we can help with this critical work.
Thank you,
Karl

in-land portion of the outfall. Improvements to the aeration system, mixers, and mixed liquor return pumping system will
result in 30% energy savings, qualifying as an EPA Green Project.
This project is the first of nine phases identified in the RECIPIET’s Capital Improvement Program , detailed in the 2019
WWTP Facility Plan. Phase I Improvements will address several of the plant deficiencies noted in the facility plan for the
secondary treatment units and solids handling systems. Additionally, the land-based outfall replacement work included in
the Phase I Improvement project is critical in addressing the outfall hydraulics. Replacing the undersized outfall piping is
necessary for the RECIPIENT to be able to accommodate the expected increase in flows based on the current rate of
growth of the system.
Overall Goal:
To improve water quality in the Columbia River through the construction of the RECIPIENT 's Wastewater Treatment
Facility by replacing components of the plant that have exceeded their useful life and expanding the plant to meet the
projected demand of the forecasted population growth.

Demolition and Removal of the Dock will be approximately- $78,000
Replacement Dock (similar to the existing Dock A) - $2.5 million
Emergency response by Fire and A&CS crews to date - $15,000
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On January 7, 2022, a significant storm system moved through the Pasco area
bringing strong winds with gusts of more than 50 mph. At approximately 4:30
pm, City staff was informed that Dock B at the Pasco Boat Basin had moved
from its moorings due to the wind and was floating freely in the marina. Pasco
Facilities staff, along with the Pasco Fire Department secured Dock B to the
northern shore of the marina. Subsequently, Pasco Facilities secured the debris
through a boom/bouy system.
Page 146 of 152
V. DISCUSSION:
This damage has rendered this historical asset unusable and beyond any
potential for repair. The require removal and replacement of the dock is
necessary at a cost not secured in the budget at this time. The local declaration
of an emergency allows the City to streamline processes and expedite the
removal of the unsafe structure which poses a strong potential threat to
equipment, property, commerce, and local, state, and Federal infrastructure on
the Columbia River system downstream.
