SEPA Comment Period Deadlines: July 15, 2026 Proposal: The proposal consists of an amendment to the Pasco Municipal Code establishing optional frontage improvement standards within the R-15 (Low-Density Residential) and R-S-12 (Suburban Residential) zoning districts. The amendment would allow qualifying residential development projects to defer construction of certain frontage improvements, including sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and streetlights, when specified criteria are met.

In addition, property owners would be required to record an agreement acknowledging the potential need for future roadway and frontage improvements and agreeing not to contest the formation of a future Local Improvement District (LID) or similar funding mechanism established to fund such improvements. The proposal is a non-project legislative action and does not authorize site-specific development or ground-disturbing activities.
