City staff presented proposed amendments to the Pasco Municipal Code’s SEPA threshold provisions and requested the council set a public hearing. Deputy Director Craig Raymond said the city processes roughly double the number of SEPA reviews compared with neighboring communities and that thresholds had not been updated in decades.
