Downtown rezoning request: owner seeks low‑density residential designation for vacant former church
Summary
A downtown property owner has requested rezoning from retail business to low‑density residential to match surrounding uses; the building was formerly a church and has been vacant since 2023, and the Pasco hearing examiner recommended council approval in December.
The presenter described a rezoning request from a building owner who seeks to change a downtown property from retail business to low‑density residential so the whole neighborhood would be zoned the same way.
The presenter said the structure used to be a church and has been vacant since 2023; the Pasco hearing examiner reviewed the proposal in December and recommended that city council give final approval.
Why it matters: rezoning changes affect permitted uses, future development and neighborhood character; the hearing examiner’s recommendation signals administrative support but final approval rests with council.
What was not specified: the presenter did not provide the property address, the applicant’s name, or conditions attached to the hearing examiner’s recommendation.
Next steps: council will consider the rezoning request at upcoming meetings; the preview did not report a specific vote or final decision date.
