Pasco City Council to hold public hearing on proposed SEPA threshold changes
Summary
The city preview announced a public hearing, Feb. 2, on proposed changes to SEPA thresholds that would alter environmental review triggers for certain building projects; the preview referenced a related Jan. 26 workshop presentation but did not specify proposed numeric thresholds.
Pasco City Council will take public comment on proposed changes to SEPA thresholds at a hearing scheduled for Feb. 2, according to the city’s meeting preview. Presenter told viewers the proposed changes would affect how certain building projects are reviewed for environmental impacts and referenced a presentation from the Jan. 26 City Council workshop.
The preview did not provide the specific threshold values, the types of projects that would be newly affected, or the exact language of the proposed changes; those details were described as available in the Jan. 26 workshop presentation. "We'll also have a public hearing about proposed changes to SEPA thresholds," the Presenter said.
Why it matters: changes to SEPA thresholds can expand or narrow the set of projects that require environmental review or permitting, which may affect developers, property owners and neighborhood impacts. The preview directed interested residents to the Feb. 2 meeting for more detail and public comment.
