The Pasco Planning Commission on Thursday approved its meeting minutes, set upcoming public‑hearing dates and welcomed a new planner in a brief procedural session.

Commissioner Kim Lerman moved to approve the minutes from the Sept. 18, 2025 meeting; Commissioner Pat Jones seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Staff told the commission it will notice public hearings in December for two emergency comprehensive‑plan amendments: the Pasco School District capital facilities plan update and a map/zoning correction for the RS‑20 (Riverview) area. Staff discussed December 18 as the likely hearing date and said it will circulate the staff reports and notices as required by city code.

Staff introduced James Bagley as a recently hired Planner II; Bagley said he comes to Pasco with planning experience in Oregon and Idaho. With no further business, Chair moved to adjourn; the commission seconded and adjourned at 7:33 p.m.

Next steps: staff will publish hearing notices and prepare staff reports for the December meeting; the commission may receive additional workshops on middle housing and economic development ahead of plan adoption.
