SEPA Comment Period Deadline: June 3, 2026 Proposal: On April 22, 2026, Tyler Duncan with AHBL, Inc. submitted a Binding Site Plan application (BSP2026-001), and Bob Tippett with Tippett Company submitted an associated SEPA checklist (SEPA2026-009), for development involving Parcel No. 113130425, identified as Lot 5 within the proposed Binding Site Plan. The proposal also affects Parcel No. 113130422, which is anticipated to contain a future public road connection. Although the Binding Site Plan itself is categorically exempt from SEPA pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(6)(d), the associated development proposal is subject to environmental review due to exceeding the exemption thresholds established under PMC 23.15.025(2)(d) and (f). The SEPA proposal includes site grading; construction of a public road with a cul-de-sac turnaround; extension of public utilities and services; construction of a water main loop with fire hydrants; installation of gravel pads and paved private access roads for outdoor storage areas associated with mobile buildings; and construction of a 200-foot by 200-foot pre-engineered metal building containing office and work areas for maintenance of mobile buildings. The overall project area is approximately 60.66 acres. The parcel proposed for right-of-way dedication currently consists of approximately 5.51 acres and is anticipated to be reduced to approximately 4.16 acres following dedication. While the SEPA checklist references five parcels, only one parcel is proposed for development at this time, with two parcels directly affected by the proposal. Future development of the remaining parcels will be subject to separate SEPA review at the time development is proposed. The site is zoned I-1 (Light Industrial) and is located east of North Capitol Avenue, across from the new delivery station and Reser's facility. The proposal is subject to applicable provisions of the Pasco Municipal Code.
