Pasco to extend six‑month moratorium on essential public facilities and secure transitional facilities
Summary
Planning staff asked the council to renew a six‑month moratorium (initially adopted in February) on essential public facilities including secure community transition facilities so staff can finish outreach and develop regulations; council signaled support and scheduled a public hearing for Aug. 3.
City planning staff asked the council to extend by six months a temporary moratorium on essential public facilities and secure community transition facilities. Planner Mr. Raymond said the initial six‑month moratorium expires on Aug. 17 and that additional time is needed to finish public outreach and capture specific policy directives from counsel.
Raymond noted a required public hearing on the moratorium renewal is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 3. Council members voiced support for the extension so staff can complete required analysis and outreach; no formal vote was taken at the workshop, but staff will prepare the renewal ordinance for the hearing.
Next steps: staff will prepare the moratorium renewal ordinance and conduct the Aug. 3 public hearing before returning the proposal to council for final action.
