5:30 p.m. Council Workshop.
Councilmember Magdoff opened the meeting.
1. Community Development Director Lori Barnett initiated a presentation regarding
potential councilmanic imposition of a sales and use tax as authorized by House
Bill 1590 to fund Homeless/Housing and Support Services. Wenatchee
Councilmember Linda Herald spoke to the Council regarding a proposal for a
low-barrier shelter project to serve unsheltered individuals. She also spoke
regarding the limited options that local governments have to enforce camping
restriction on the homelessness without low-barrier shelters in place.
City of Wenatchee’s Grant Programs Coordinator Sandra Van Osten presented
information to the Council regarding the financial and environmental impacts of
homelessness and explained how low-barrier shelters could lower COVID-19
transmission, reduce non-reimbursable healthcare costs for hospitals and clinics
and decrease negative law enforcement interactions.
City of Wenatchee’s Chief of Police Steve Crown spoke to the fact that a low-
barrier shelter is not an end all, however it is very useful to law enforcement to
move homeless individuals off the street to a safe place until they become sober
-in some cases- and have services available to them in the morning to aid with
homelessness.

Grant Programs Coordinator Sandra Van Osten presented information about
House Bill 1590 and allowable uses and eligible population. This is a
councilmanic option to address housing and homeless services. A project
description was provided as Phase 1, based on a sleep center model similar to
programs that have been implemented in Walla Walla and Moses Lake. These
sleep centers are weatherproof to withstand wind, rain, and snow, are heavily
insulated but not heated. Local health care providers would have an opportunity
to provide an onsite service, there would be case managers on-site during the
day to help clients access services and transition into permanent housing. There
would also be an overnight security guard.
Staff provided recommendation to the Council asking the City of East Wenatchee
to convene a public hearing to take testimony, deliberate, and take action on the
potential of enacting the House Bill 1590 sales and use tax, using the revenue
generated to pursue strategies in:
Phase I: Development of a new low-barrier sleep center targeting unsheltered
and chronically homeless clients.
Phase II: Expansion of existing homeless services to support sleep center clients
in transitioning to permanent housing and supporting the development of
permanent housing and other affordable housing options.
Comments provided by City of Wenatchee Chief of Police Steve Crown, City of
Wenatchee Community Development Director Glen Devries, City of East
Wenatchee Community Development Director Lori Barnett, Councilmember
Hepner, Councilmember Tidd, Mayor Crawford, Councilmember Raab, and
Councilmember Johnson.
2. Project Development Manager Tom Wachholder presented information on
current street preservation funding, pavement condition and alternative revenue
sources for the City’s Transportation Benefit District that could replace the
current $20 car tab fee. Mr. Wachholder provided information from other
jurisdictions that have successfully implemented the sales tax option as a
replacement for the car tab fees to support their Transportation Benefit District. It
was noted that this funding source broadens the population base paying for
street preservation projects to everyone who travel on the streets, not just city
residents.
Council requested staff to contact the various cities that have successfully
passed the Sales and Use Tax to fund Transportation Benefit Districts and learn
more about their campaign strategies. Additionally, the City Council asked staff to
look into someone to poll the community to learn how the public would respond
to this ask and possibly reach out to the City of Wenatchee to see if they have
any interest in pursuing the same funding option.
Comments provided by all Councilmembers, Community Development Director
Lori Barnett, Mayor Crawford, and City Attorney Devin Poulson.
3. Finance Director Josh DeLay presented a 2020 yearend Financial Report.
No comments were provided by the Council.

CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE
COUNCIL AGENDA BILL
To: Mayor and Council.
From/Presenter: Lori Barnett, Community Development Director
Subject: Public hearing to consider proposed amendments to the East
Wenatchee Municipal Code (EWMC) to increase residential building
capacity. (Related to Ordinances 2021-05 and 2021-06.
Date: March 16, 2021
I. Summary Title: Public hearing to consider proposed amendments to
the East Wenatchee Municipal Code (EWMC) in the following
chapters: 17.08 Definitions, 17.24 Residential Low Density District,
17.28 Residential Medium Density District, 17.32 Residential High
Density/Office District, 17.34 Commercial Zoning District Land Use
Matrix, 17.72 General Regulations, and 12.53 Driveways, Access
Easement, Pedestrian Facilities, Walks and Trails.
II. Background/History: In June of 2020 the City Council approved
initiating a project to amend the East Wenatchee Municipal Code and
Greater East Wenatchee Urban Growth Area Design Standards &
Guidelines to address Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1923
providing options for cities planning under the Growth Management
Act to adopt actions to increase residential building capacity.
The proposal under consideration addresses two of the three actions
that the Council approved:
• Authorize at least one duplex, triplex, or courtyard apartment on
each parcel in one or more zoning districts that permit single-
family residences unless a city documents a specific
infrastructure or physical constraint that would make this
requirement unfeasible for a particular parcel.
• Authorize a duplex on each corner lot within all zoning districts
that permit single-family residences.
The Planning Commission held workshops on August 25, 2020 and
October 27, 2020 to review and discuss the proposed amendments.
The proposed amendments were submitted to the state and local
agencies for review and have been posted on the City’s website since
December 2020. At their February 23, 2021 public hearing, the
Planning Commission took action to recommend approval of the
3/16/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
55 of 241
proposed amendments to the East Wenatchee Municipal Code.
However, they remanded the proposed amendments to the Greater
East Wenatchee Urban Growth Area Design Standards & Guidelines
back to staff for more work. Unfortunately, the public was not given
an opportunity to comment on the proposal. As such this hearing
before the City Council provides that opportunity for public comment.
I. Recommended Action: Hold public hearing.

Subject: Ordinance 2021-05 and Ordinance 2021-06 for ZTA 2020-02
amending the East Wenatchee Municipal Code to increase residential
building capacity.
Date: March 16, 2021
I. Summary Title:
A. Ordinance 2021-05: An Ordinance of the City of East
Wenatchee amending the following EWMC chapters: 17.08
Definitions, 17.24 Residential Low Density District, 17.28
Residential Medium Density District, 17.32 Residential High
Density/Office District, 17.34 Commercial Zoning District Land
Use Matrix, 17.72 General Regulations, containing a
severability clause, and establishing an effective date.

Wenatchee amending chapter 12.53 of the East Wenatchee
Municipal Code regarding driveways and access easements,
containing a severability clause, and establishing an effective
date.
II. Background/History: On June 2, 2020, the City Council approved
hiring a consultant – Makers Architecture and Urban Design, LLP – to
initiate amendments to the East Wenatchee Municipal Code and
Greater East Wenatchee Urban Growth Area Design Standards &
Guidelines to address legislative provision in Engrossed Second
Substitute House Bill (E2SHB) 1923 encouraging cities planning
under the Growth Management Act to adopt actions to increase
residential building capacity. The City selected the following actions:
• Authorize at least one duplex, triplex, or courtyard apartment on
each parcel in one or more zoning districts that permit single-
family residences unless a city documents a specific
infrastructure or physical constraint that would make this
requirement unfeasible for a particular parcel.

• Authorize a duplex on each corner lot within all zoning districts
that permit single-family residences.
• Allow the division or redivision of land into the maximum
number of lots through the short subdivision process provided
in chapter 58.17 RCW. Commerce provided the City with a
grant to assist in the project.
The ordinances under consideration address the first two actions.
The third action is still in process. The City received a grant from the
Washington State Department of Commerce to assist with this
project. It should be noted that this is a joint project with Douglas
County since the County adopts the City’s Zoning Code for
application within the urban growth area.
The Planning Commission held workshops on August 25, 2020 and
October 27, 2020 to review draft amendments to the Code and
Design Standards. The proposed amendments were sent to state and
local agencies and has been available on the City website since
December.
III. Recommended Action: At their February 23, 2021 public hearing,
the Planning Commission took action to recommend approval of most
of the proposed Municipal Code amendments with a vote of 6-0.
However, they remanded the proposed amendments to the Greater
East Wenatchee Urban Growth Area Design Standards & Guidelines
to staff for more work.
Request to suspend second reading and motion to approve
Ordinance 2021-05 and Ordinance 2021-06.

same property.
H. Duplexes on corners. This provision allows new duplexes in locations where their
appearance and impact will be compatible with the surrounding houses. Duplexes on
corner lots can be designed so each unit is oriented towards a different street. This

the following standards to ensure that the two units have compatible elements.
Adjustments to this paragraph are prohibited. The standards are:

square feet in area.
3.Entrances. Each of the units must have its address and main entrance oriented
towards a separate street frontage. Deviation from this standard may be
permitted if one of the streets is an arterial and the driveway would adversely
impact circulation on that street. Where an existing house is being converted to
two units, one main entrance with internal access to both units is allowed.
4.Exterior finish materials. The exterior finish material must be the same, or visually
match in type, size and placement.
5.Roof pitch. The predominant roof pitch must be the same for both units.

Exhibit A
Chapter 12.53
DRIVEWAYS, ACCESS EASEMENT, PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES,
WALKS AND TRAILS
Sections:
12.53.010 Driveways and access easement.
12.53.020 Pedestrian facilities (urban areas).
12.53.030 Walkways, bikeways and trails.
12.53.040 School access.
12.53.050 Alleys.
12.53.010 Driveways and access easement.
A. General.
1. Dimensions, slopes and details for all driveway and access easements
connecting to a city street shall be as indicated on Figure 4-1 in EWMC
12.60.010. Driveways entering streets with curb and gutter shall meet the
requirements contained within WSDOT Standard Plans as approved by the city
engineer.
2. All new or revised driveways and accesses onto a city street (including
temporary or construction accesses) require approval from the city engineer in
accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
B. Conditions for Approval of New Driveways and Access Easements.
1. Driveways directly providing access onto arterials and collectors shall be
denied if alternate access is available. Access onto arterials and collectors may
be permitted where no other alternative is available and is approved by the city
engineer.
2. Where property has frontage on more than one street, driveways and
accesses shall be limited to the lowest volume street.
3. Circular driveways shall have a minimum separation of 100 feet unless the lot
width is insufficient to accommodate the 100-foot separation and the shorter
distance is supported by an analysis prepared by a licensed engineer and
approved by the city engineer demonstrating that the two access points are
necessary and will not adversely impact traffic flow and circulation on the
connecting street.
4. Driveways and access easements should be located at the greatest distance
possible from an intersection of two streets. Driveways and access easements
should not be located closer than 125 feet from the nearest edge of the
intersection as measured from the closest point of the driveway edge when either
intersecting street is an arterial or collector and 75 feet when the streets are both
local access streets. The city engineer may issue a permit for a driveway or
access easement not meeting city location and spacing criteria standards if a
conforming connection is not attainable at the time of the permit application

submittal and denial would leave the property without a reasonable means of
connection to the street system. The city engineer may require the applicant to
provide a traffic impact analysis to support the request for a nonconforming
driveway or access easement. Nonconforming driveway or access easement
permits shall specify conditions or limits including, but not limited to, the
following:
a. Joint Use Connection. The city may issue a driveway or access
easement connection permit requiring a legally enforceable joint use
driveway when determined by the city engineer to be in the best interest of
the city in maintaining the operational efficiency and safety of the street.
b. Traffic Volume. The maximum vehicular usage of the connection shall
be specified in the permit.
c. Future Alternate Access. The permit shall specify that a conforming
connection be constructed if and when future alternate means of access
becomes available, and that the nonconforming connection must be
removed.
d. Users. The permit shall specify the properties to be served by the
connection; and any other conditions as necessary to ensure the safe
operation of the driveway or access easement and the intersecting street.
5. In areas zoned residential, the minimum separation of individual parcel
driveways or accesses, as measured from the centerlines of the driveways or
accesses, shall not exceed one-half of the sum of the accessed parcel frontage
and each of the adjacent parcel frontages. Joint usage driveways may be
required where sufficient spacing is not available.
6. Only one driveway per single residential or commercial unit will be permitted
unless the applicant can demonstrate that additional driveways or accesses are
needed due to the amount of traffic generated by the project, traffic distribution
patterns, impacts to the city street system or public safety and there is sufficient
space to accommodate the additional driveway or access. Joint usage driveways
are encouraged.
7. All abandoned driveways shall be removed and restored by the applicant or
agent.
8. Maintenance of driveways and approaches (and associated culverts where
required) onto a city street shall be the responsibility of the applicant.
C. Standards.
1. Common to All Driveways and Access Easements.
a. Clear View Triangle. In addition to providing sufficient sight distances as
required in subsection (C)(1)(c) of this section, a clear view triangle as
described in Chapter 10.28 EWMC shall be maintained for vision safety
purposes.

b. Alignment. All driveways and access easement shall intersect the main
street at an angle between 75 and 105 degrees, with 90 degrees being
preferable.
c. Sight Distance. Sufficient sight distances for vehicles to safely enter
onto a public street or streets as well as for other vehicles on the street or
streets to avoid accidents with entering or exiting vehicles is required for
all driveways and access points. For all driveways and access easement,
stopping sight distance in accordance with the AASHTO Green Book is
required as follows:
To calculate sight distance for existing streets serving a proposed
driveway or access, first convert the posted speed to an operating speed
as per Table 12.53.010-1:
Table 12.53.010-1
Posted Speed
Add for Operating
Speed
20 mph 0
25 mph 0
30 mph 5 mph
35 mph 5 mph
40 mph 10 mph
45 mph and above 10 mph
Secondly, use the operating speed and determine the minimum stopping
sight distances from Table 12.53.010-2 (based on an approaching vehicle
driver’s eye height of three and one-half feet and an object at the driveway
of two feet).

41 to 50 30 70 — 20 30 —
51 to 60 50 110 — 30 50 —
Situations with sight distances less than the above must be approved by
the city engineer. In these cases, the applicant may also be required to
obtain the services of a professional traffic engineer to assess the
situation and provide written justification for lesser sight distances.
Sight distances shall be measured from a point 10 feet back of the edge of
shoulder or back of sidewalk each way along the edge of the traveled way
of the main street as shown in the figure below.
d. Drainage. Approaches shall be constructed in such a manner as to
minimize the runoff from a driveway or other access easement onto the
main street.
All approaches at points where there is an existing roadside ditch shall be

DATE: February 23, 2021
SUBJECT: ZTA 2020-02 amending the Greater East Wenatchee Urban Growth
Area Design Standards & Guidelines, several Zoning Code sections and
chapter 12.53 to increase residential building capacity
I. GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: East Wenatchee Planning Commission
271 9th Street NE
East Wenatchee, WA 98802
Project Planner: Lori Barnett
509-884-5396
A. Proposal: Amendments are proposed for the Greater East Wenatchee Urban
Growth Area Design Standards & Guidelines and the following EWMC chapters:
17.08 Definitions, 17.24 Residential Low Density District, 17.28 Residential
Medium Density District, 17.32 Residential High Density/Office District, 17.34
Commercial Zoning District Land Use Matrix, 17.72 General Regulations, and
12.53 Driveways, Access Easement, Pedestrian Facilities, Walks and Trails.
B. Location: The proposal will be applicable to properties within the city of East
Wenatchee and properties in unincorporated Douglas County that are located

II.PROPOSAL ANALYSIS
A. Background: In 2019 the state Legislature passed Engrossed Second Substitute
House Bill (E2SHB) 1923 encouraging cities planning under the Growth
Management Act (GMA) to adopt actions to increase residential building capacity.
To be eligible for grant funds, cities needed to select at least two objectives listed
in the bill. East Wenatchee selected the following actions:
•Authorize at least one duplex, triplex, or courtyard apartment on each
parcel in one or more zoning districts that permit single-family residences
unless a city documents a specific infrastructure or physical constraint that
would make this requirement unfeasible for a particular parcel.
•Authorize a duplex on each corner lot within all zoning districts that permit
single-family residences.

• Allow the division or redivision of land into the maximum number of lots
through the short subdivision process provided in chapter 58.17 RCW.
The City contracted with Makers Architecture and Urban Design, LLP to assist
with the project to address the first two objectives. The amendment to the
subdivision code will be addressed in a separate process.
Makers audited the City’s Zoning Code and the Design Standards providing
guidance regarding sections that should be amended. The Audit report and a
draft of amendments to the Municipal Code and the Design Standards were
presented to the Planning Commission for review and discussion at a workshop
on August 25, 2020.
Revised amendments to the Municipal Code and the Design Standards were
presented to the Planning Commission for review and discussion at a workshop
on October 27, 2020.
Additional work has been completed by Staff and Makers. The revised
amendments are attached as Exhibit A – East Wenatchee Municipal Code
Amendments, and Exhibit B - Greater East Wenatchee Urban Growth Area
Design Standards & Guidelines amendments.
B. Comprehensive Plan: The Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan
(2019) is the guidance document for land uses within the community and urban
area. The following goal and policies are applicable to the proposal under
consideration:
Chapter 3 - Land Use
Commercial Goal
4. Provide an opportunity for mixed-use areas in locations where residential
and commercial land uses can develop in a manner that is complimentary to
neighboring properties and/or will establish and sustain unique character
areas for individual neighborhoods.
Policies
C-3 Adopt consistent design standards for development in commercial districts
to insure that proposed uses are complimentary and compatible with
adjacent land uses. The standards should address landscaping, pedestrian
access, vehicular access, traffic control, signage and other amenities
ensuring that commercial uses will enhance and contribute to the natural
attractiveness of the community.
C-7 Promote appropriately buffered multi-family residential and office
development compatible with existing and potential commercial activities.
Such uses should be permitted as transition between high-intensity uses
(e.g. commercial) and low-intensity uses (e.g. single-family residential).
C-11 Encourage and promote infill development and redevelopment efforts to
revitalize and support established commercial areas.
Chapter 4 - Housing.
Goals
1. To provide for a sufficient number of safe, attractive and affordable
residences for people of all income levels.

2. To maintain quality of life in residential neighborhoods by protecting
residential properties from excessive noise, visual, air and water pollution.
3. To provide for a variety of housing types and densities to ensure a range of
affordable housing options for all segments of the community.
4. To provide opportunities for a mixture of commercial and residential land
uses developed in a coordinated and complimentary manner in designated
mixed use areas.
Policies
H-2 Provide flexibility in the development regulations to encourage infill
development that is compatible with the character of the existing
neighborhood and is adequately served by public facilities and services.
H-3 Develop design standards that provide a transition between residential uses
and high intensity commercial or industrial developments.
H-4 Apply consistent standards in residential development to preserve
residential character.
H-7 Use the following criteria for the establishment of residential densities:
a. Adjacent to commercial development, residential development
should range from 8 to 24 dwelling units per acre and may include
mixed-use type projects.
b. Adjacent to the existing single-family districts, densities should range
from 8 to 15 dwelling units per acre.
H-8 Provide for multi-family densities near major activity centers, parks,
commercial, and business centers, that are adequately serviced by
transportation systems and utilities.
H-10 Provide standards for cluster style development that ensures adequate
provisions are made for open space and traffic circulation.
H-11 Provide incentives and opportunities for choices of housing types, styles,
quantities and innovative design including accessory dwellings and cottage
style housing in residential neighborhoods.
H-14 Promote the construction of affordable housing to meet the needs of all
economic segments of the population by establishing incentives in
development standards that will increase the production of low and
moderate priced housing by private and public sector housing providers.
H-18 Encourage the rehabilitation of aging housing stock.
H-21 Residential development must meet the net density targets of 8 dwelling
units per acre for single-family and 12 dwelling units per acre for multi-
family. Net density does not include land set aside for public facilities,
recreation, or critical areas.
H-25 Adopt zoning, subdivision and design regulations to guide and facilitate
development of mixed-use projects adjacent to and within commercial
designations.

temporary or construction accesses) require approval from the city engineer in
accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
B. Conditions for Approval of New Driveways and Access Easements.
1. Driveways directly providing access onto arterials and collectors shall be
denied if alternate access is available. Access onto arterials and collectors may
be permitted where no other alternative is available and is approved by the city
engineer.
2. Where property has frontage on more than one street, driveways and
accesses shall be limited to the lowest volume street.
3. Circular driveways shall have a minimum separation of 100 feet unless the lot
width is insufficient to accommodate the 100-foot separation and the shorter
distance is supported by an analysis prepared by a licensed engineer and
approved by the city engineer demonstrating that the two access points are
necessary and will not adversely impact traffic flow and circulation on the
connecting street.
4. Driveways and access easements should be located at the greatest distance
possible from an intersection of two streets. Driveways and access easements
should not be located closer than 125 feet from the nearest edge of the
intersection as measured from the closest point of the driveway edge when either
intersecting street is an arterial or collector and 75 feet when the streets are both
local access streets. The city engineer may issue a permit for a driveway or
access easement not meeting city location and spacing criteria standards if a
conforming connection is not attainable at the time of the permit application
submittal and denial would leave the property without a reasonable means of
connection to the street system. The city engineer may require the applicant to

easement connection permit requiring a legally enforceable joint use
driveway when determined by the city engineer to be in the best interest of
the city in maintaining the operational efficiency and safety of the street.
b. Traffic Volume. The maximum vehicular usage of the connection shall
be specified in the permit.
c. Future Alternate Access. The permit shall specify that a conforming
connection be constructed if and when future alternate means of access
becomes available, and that the nonconforming connection must be
removed.
d. Users. The permit shall specify the properties to be served by the
connection; and any other conditions as necessary to ensure the safe
operation of the driveway or access easement and the intersecting street.
5. In areas zoned residential, the minimum separation of individual parcel
driveways or accesses, as measured from the centerlines of the driveways or
accesses, shall not exceed one-half of the sum of the accessed parcel frontage
and each of the adjacent parcel frontages. Joint usage driveways may be
required where sufficient spacing is not available.
6. Only one driveway per single residential or commercial unit will be permitted
unless the applicant can demonstrate that additional driveways or accesses are
needed due to the amount of traffic generated by the project, traffic distribution
patterns, impacts to the city street system or public safety and there is sufficient
space to accommodate the additional driveway or access. Joint usage driveways
are encouraged.
7. All abandoned driveways shall be removed and restored by the applicant or
agent.
8. Maintenance of driveways and approaches (and associated culverts where
required) onto a city street shall be the responsibility of the applicant.

b. Alignment. All driveways and access easement shall intersect the main
street at an angle between 75 and 105 degrees, with 90 degrees being
preferable.

c. Sight Distance. Sufficient sight distances for vehicles to safely enter
onto a public street or streets as well as for other vehicles on the street or
streets to avoid accidents with entering or exiting vehicles is required for
all driveways and access points. For all driveways and access easement,
stopping sight distance in accordance with the AASHTO Green Book is
required as follows:
To calculate sight distance for existing streets serving a proposed
driveway or access, first convert the posted speed to an operating speed
as per Table 12.53.010-1:
Table 12.53.010-1
Posted Speed
Add for Operating
Speed
20 mph 0
25 mph 0
30 mph 5 mph
35 mph 5 mph
40 mph 10 mph
45 mph and above 10 mph
Secondly, use the operating speed and determine the minimum stopping
sight distances from Table 12.53.010-2 (based on an approaching vehicle
driver’s eye height of three and one-half feet and an object at the driveway
of two feet).

The grade of the street can also affect the minimum sight distance
required. The following Table 12.53.010-3 provides the increase for
downgrades and the decrease for upgrades modifiers.

Situations with sight distances less than the above must be approved by
the city engineer. In these cases, the applicant may also be required to
obtain the services of a professional traffic engineer to assess the
situation and provide written justification for lesser sight distances.
Sight distances shall be measured from a point 10 feet back of the edge of
shoulder or back of sidewalk each way along the edge of the traveled way
of the main street as shown in the figure below.
d. Drainage. Approaches shall be constructed in such a manner as to
minimize the runoff from a driveway or other access easement onto the
main street.
All approaches at points where there is an existing roadside ditch shall be
constructed with a culvert pipe meeting the specifications of the city
engineer.
e. Surfacing within Right-of-Way. That portion of a driveway or access
easement connecting to a paved public street that is within the right-of-
way of the public street shall be surfaced with a minimum of two and one-
half inches of compacted asphalt concrete pavement or equivalent
surfacing material to the street.
f. Maintenance. Maintenance of all driveways and access easement
including approaches to public streets shall be the responsibility of the
owner(s). All shared driveways and access easements shall have a
maintenance agreement recorded with the final project approval that

hammerhead unless the fire marshal determines that alternative access
for fire protection is available. See Figure 4-2 in EWMC 12.60.010 for
acceptable turnaround designs.
3. Access Easements. Property accesses serving no more than four lots are
access easements. Unless an alternate approved emergency vehicle access is
provided, access easements shall also serve as an emergency vehicle access.
Access easements are privately owned and maintained by the property owners
being served and are not the responsibility of the city. Access easements shall
comply with EWMC 15.16.010 and have the following minimum requirements:
a. The minimum width of the tract or easement for an access easement
shall be 30 20 feet for access easements if no fire hydrant is located along
the easement. Thirty feet of easement width is required if a fire hydrant is
located along the easement.
b. The minimum base shall be six inches of compacted gravel base,

SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Purpose of checklist:
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization
or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental
impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
Instructions for applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please
answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult
with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or
"does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown.
You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate
answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-
making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant
adverse impact.
Instructions for Lead Agencies:
Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to
evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse
impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to
make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is
responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals:
For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable
parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please
completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or
site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead
agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements –that do not
contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

urban growth area. As such emissions to air from additional traffic and production of noise from
traffic and people living in close proximity is anticipated.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
The city and county have noise measurements to ensure that neighboring properties are
protected. The code also includes enforcement measures. Any potential for increases in noise,
because of development at any scale, would be analyzed and mitigated on a case-by-case
basis as part of the general review as development occurs.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The proposed amendments will not result in direct impacts to plants, animals, fish or marine life.
This proposal is a nonproject action that will be applicable within the urban area. Landscaping
requirements will address plants. Critical areas regulations address potential impacts to fish and
animals.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
Not applicable to the non-project action. Any potential for impacts because of development,
would be evaluated and mitigated accordingly in the review and permitting phase of any land
use development project.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
As a nonproject action, there will be no direct impacts. The increase in density that may result
from the application of these provisions will likely concentrate residential development in areas
already characterized by urban growth. Additional need for energy may be a result, however the
concentration of development will likely reduce the necessity for major expansion of energy
facilities.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
The proposal amendments are intended to increase the capacity within the existing urban
growth area. This is anticipated to reduce the need to expand the urban growth area into
neighboring resource lands by providing more capacity within the existing residential areas for
additional housing options. Energy efficiency is a requirement for all occupied structures.
Residential developments are required to comply with the State Energy Code.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or
areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks,
wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or
cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
The proposal amendments could have a potential benefit for preserving environmentally
sensitive areas, critical areas, and farmland. The proposal is intended to increase the capacity
within the existing urban growth area to accommodate the growth projected over the 20-year
planning horizon. By increasing options for type, style, and number of dwelling units, these
provisions are anticipated to reduce the need to expand the urban growth area thereby
preserving lands for critical areas and farmland.
3/16/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
182 of 241
SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 5 of 5
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
See above, no impacts are anticipated.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it
would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
The proposed amendments follow the recommendations of the comprehensive plan and are
intended to implement the goals and policies in the plan related to:
• providing flexibility in the design and density of housing;
• increased potential for infill development;
• encourage the provision of housing affordable to all economic groups; and
• ensure that development within single-family neighborhoods is compatible with the
character of the neighborhood.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
None are necessary.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities?
As a nonproject action, there will be no direct impacts. The increase in density that may result
from the application of these provisions will likely concentrate residential development in areas
already characterized by urban growth. This will likely result in increased use of existing
transportation systems as well as extension of transportation facilities to serve newly developed
areas. This potential new development will increase the demand for public services and utilities.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
Additional need for services is anticipated, however the proposals are intended to encourage
infill development. The concentration of development within the existing urban area will likely
reduce the necessity for major expansion of facilities although system upgrades may be
necessary. As development occurs, the need for upgrades are evaluated on a project basis.
Developers are responsible for upgrades necessary to serve new development.
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or
requirements for the protection of the environment.
This proposal is a nonproject action and would not conflict with local, state, or federal
laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. Development projects would
be evaluated at the time of application submittal and must meet adopted standards and
requirements for the protection of the environment.

CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE
COUNCIL AGENDA BILL
To: Mayor and Council.
From/Presenter: Lori Barnett, Community Development Director
Subject: Public hearing regarding the potential imposition of a 1/10th of one
percent sales and use tax to provide a funding source to address
affordable housing and housing related services.
Date: March 16, 2021
I. Summary Title: Public hearing to obtain comments regarding the
potential for the City Council to use their councilmanic option to
impose of a 1/10th of one percent sales and use tax within the City to
provide a funding source to address homelessness, affordable
housing, mental health services, and housing related services in
accordance with RCW 82.14.530.
II. Background/History: RCW 82.14.530 allows cities and counties to
levy a 1/10th of 1 percent sales and use tax to fund housing and
housing related services. In 2020, the Legislature passed an
amendment to include a councilmanic option in addition to the voter
approved process. Counties wishing to use that option had until
September 30, 2020 to levy the tax. If the county took no action, the
cities could utilize the option. Douglas County has not levied the tax.
The revenue must be used for affordable housing, housing-related
programs, and behavioral health services for persons with incomes at
or below 60% of the area median within any of the following groups:
• Persons with behavioral health disabilities;
• Senior citizens;
• Persons with disabilities;
• Domestic violence survivors;
• Homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless, families with children; or
• Unaccompanied homeless youth or young adults.
This proposal was discussed at a Council Workshop on August 18,
2020 and in a more in-depth Workshop on February 25, 2021. The
major factors supporting the imposition of this tax is to provide
funding for: (1) a low-barrier shelter (sleep center) to meet the needs
of our unsheltered homeless population and (2) to provide a stable
funding source for affordable housing, behavioral health and housing-
related services into the future.
3/16/2021 City Council Agenda Packet

This proposal is also being considered by the City of Wenatchee. It is
estimated that the revenue for East Wenatchee could be $400,000
per year and for Wenatchee $800,000 to $900,000 per year.
Impact on taxpayer: As an example, a $20,000 purchase would
increase the sales tax collected by $20.

CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE
COUNCIL AGENDA BILL
To: Mayor and Council.
From/Presenter: Lori Barnett, Community Development Director
Subject: Ordinance 2021-04 imposing an additional sales and use tax of
1/10th of 1% for affordable housing and related services. Adding
chapter 4.12 to the City Code as authorized by RCW 82.14.530.
Date: March 16, 2021
I. Summary Title: An Ordinance of the City of East Wenatchee
imposing an additional sales and use tax of one-tenth of one percent
for affordable housing and related services as authorized by RCW
82.14.530 by adding Chapter 4.12 to the East Wenatchee Municipal
Code, providing for severability and establishing an effective date.
II. Background/History: RCW 82.14.530, enacted in 2015, allows cities
and counties to levy a 1/10th of 1 percent sales and use tax to fund
housing and housing related services if approved by a majority of
voters. Several jurisdictions took advantage of that option. Ellensburg
is one example of a city near us that used the voter process.
In 2020, the Legislature amended RCW 82.14.530 to include a
councilmanic option in addition to the voter process. Counties wishing
to use that option had until September 30, 2020 to enact the tax. If
the county chose not to, the cities could utilize the option. This
proposal was discussed at a Council Workshop on August 18, 2020
and in a more in-depth Workshop on February 25, 2021.
This proposal is a joint effort with the City of Wenatchee which is also
proposing to levy the tax. This funding source will benefit the
community by providing a locally controlled source of revenue for the
development of affordable housing and housing-related services.
Who could be served? Affordable housing and housing-related
programs provided to persons within any of the following groups if
their income is at or below 60% of the area median income.
• Persons with behavioral health disabilities;
• Senior citizens;
• Persons with disabilities;
• Domestic violence survivors;
• Homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless, families with children; or
• Unaccompanied homeless youth or young adults.
3/16/2021 City Council Agenda Packet

Need: This community is facing a shortage of affordable housing and
housing available for homeless individuals.
Homelessness. Phase 1 would address homeless housing and
services. The January 2020 Point-in-Time (PIT) count reported
• 84 unsheltered homeless adults - meaning they are living on
the streets or in a place not meant for human habitation.
• 43 of those were considered to be “chronically homeless”
- an increase from 36 reported in the 2019 PIT Count.
“Chronically homeless” are those who have lived on the streets
an extended time (12 months or more) and have a disability or
qualify under the group categories mentioned above.
This option is being recommended to initially provide funding to
establish an emergency shelter to house homeless individuals based
upon the “sleep center” model that several jurisdictions have
developed. The proposed “sleep center” style will include on-site
support services to help clients access health and human services
and transition to permanent housing. The Washington State
Department of Commerce provided a grant for this facility.
Moses Lake built a sleep center in 2020 and has seen a high degree
of success moving folks from homelessness to permanent housing.
An article specific to their project has been included in this packet.
A low-barrier shelter is needed to comply with the Martin vs. City of
Boise ruling: The court deemed it unconstitutional to prohibit the
homeless from sleeping or camping on public property unless the
community had a meaningful alternative, such as low-barrier shelter.
Existing shelters in the East Wenatchee/Wenatchee area do not
qualify as “low-barrier”. Additionally, the existing congregate style
shelters are not a long-term solution to housing the homeless. In
addition to the potential transmission of diseases, such as COVID-19,
single room facilities have been proven to be safer and healthier
emotionally and physically for clients.
Local business owners and local government jurisdictions incur
significant costs while responding to issues involving unsheltered
homeless individuals:
• Confluence Health incurred a loss of approximately $2.4 million
for 25 homeless patients during 2017 - 2019.
• East Wenatchee Police Department - 488 calls for service and
105 arrests involving homeless individuals. *
3/16/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
187 of 241
• Wenatchee Police Department - 847 calls for service and 58
arrests involving homeless individuals. *
*Note: It should be noted that the law enforcement data may not be
consistent between jurisdictions due to the coding of calls.
• Douglas County spent over $45,000 in 2020, filled 3,379
garbage bags totaling 31,425 pounds of garbage, cleaning up
73 inactive camps and 27 active camps along SR 28 and the
Columbia River.
• Wenatchee's Park Department estimates costs to respond to
homeless issues in 2020 was approximately $280,000.
Affordable Housing. Phase 2 would provide a stable funding source
for affordable housing construction. Housing is considered affordable
if an individual or family is paying 30% or less of their income for
housing costs.
• 41% of renters and 23% of homeowners in East Wenatchee are
paying 30% or more for housing.
• 36% of renters and 26% of homeowners in Douglas County are
paying 30% or more for housing
It should be noted that this data is from the 2014-2018 American
Community Survey (ACS). It is likely the numbers are higher today.
Increased housing costs.
The tight market and high cost, makes it difficult to find homes for
low-income buyers to rent or purchase. In East Wenatchee single-
family homes make up 56% of the total housing units in the City
compared to 66% in Douglas County.
Sales price comparison for homes in the Wenatchee market area:
Median:
• 2017 - $290,000
• 2020 - $370,000
Average:
• 2017 - $317,820
• 2020 - $415,873
Homes with list prices of $300,000 or less:
• November 2017, 70 homes or 32% of the total inventory
• November 2020, 24 homes or 14% of the total inventory
Rental vacancy rates continue to be low (2.1% to 3%) which tends to
drive rents up based upon the typical supply and demand model. The
table below compares the vacancy rates from the last two ACS
reporting periods. A 5% vacancy rate is considered a healthy rate.

What will it cost? As the table below shows, for a purchase of
$20,000 of taxable goods and services, the sales and use tax would
increase by $20.
The benefit of this approach is that all consumers pay the tax, not just
the residents of each city. And again, this will be a locally controlled
revenue source that is targeted to affordable housing, mental health
services, and housing-related uses.

City of Moses Lake and homeless shelter
guests say transitional housing center
“making a difference”
Shawn Goggins Feb 23, 2021
Guertin-Walling family
MOSES LAKE - New data regarding the City of Moses Lake’s new homeless sleep center is
reportedly changing lives, according to city staff and patrons who have spent the night there.
The homeless housing park at SR 17 and Broadway in Moses Lake is owned by the city of
Moses Lake and is operated by HopeSource. HopeSource is a community action agency that
operates a variety of programs such as Supportive Services for Veteran Families, the Youth
Homeless Demonstration Project, and provides support services to coordinate care. Several
agencies are involved when it comes to caring for those who utilize the shelters, they include:
Grant Integrated Services, the state Department of Social and Health Services, Compass
Career Solutions, and the Housing Authority of Grant County. Also involved is the North
Central Washington Recovery Coalition; it’s an organization providing support to recovering
addicts by hosting Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. The city of
Moses Lake says these wrap-around services help people transition out of homeless, and
transitioned they have, according to those who look after the center.
Since opening the Sleep Center on Dec. 11, 2020, the city says 70 people have received
shelter, with a cumulative total of over 650 nights of shelter provided. In addition, 11
individuals who have utilized the sleep center have been transitioned out of homelessness as
of Feb. 23, 2021. Also, more data shows that four guests worked through HopeSource to
Exhibit 2
3/16/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
195 of 241
attain stable housing and three of them are now employed. Furthermore, the city says three
patrons entered a rehabilitation program and got stable housing after completing their
rehabilitation.
“The Sleep Center offers shelter and so much more to those that are experiencing hardships
and homelessness,” said Taylor Burton, the City of Moses Lake’s Housing and Grants
Coordinator. “The Sleep Center is a program designed to support those that want to change
their lives and begin the road to ending homelessness. This program may be fledgling, but
the potential to end homelessness in our community is great. With the continued support of
the community and the amazing work of HopeSource, there is hope that change can be
accomplished.”
Michael Guertin and his pregnant fiancé, Sara Byrd, say they found housing thanks to the
services provided at the Moses Lake Sleep Center.
“We ended up homeless due to a mental breakdown, we had nowhere to go and we ended
up at the sleep center,” Michael said. “It was a lot of good help. We used it as long as we
needed to and now, we are doing a lot better.” Michael and fiancé went on to tout the
amenities provided at the homeless center.
The Wallings had spent four nights at the shelter; they say they found better housing in a
matter of days thanks to the help coordinated by HopeSource. Their daughters were being
cared for elsewhere while they stayed there; the sleeping center has a strict 'no minors'
policy.
“It’s been an uphill battle until we got into the sleep center, it’s been a god-send, that’s for
sure, we couldn’t have done it without them,” they said. “We highly recommend it to anyone
on the street who is struggling.”
Jerome Mead is another person who discovered the resources available to him after
spending time at the shelter.
“I would still be out there in the freezing cold…I’m so grateful for them,” he said. “The
homeless center has guided me the way to go to treatment and get better, happy to start a
new journey, a new chapter in my life. I recommend anyone who needs it to come and get
the help and support,” Mead stated.

COUNCIL AGENDA BILL
To: Mayor and Council.
From/Presenter: Lori Barnett, Community Development Director
Subject: Resolution 2021-05 considering the approval of the 2019 CDBG
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report.
Date: March 16, 2021
I. Summary Title: A Resolution of the City of East Wenatchee,
Washington, adopting the “City of East Wenatchee 2019
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report” in
accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development regulations at 24 CFR Part 91, and
establishing an effective date.
II. Background/History: The CAPER must be prepared, reviewed by
the public, and submitted to HUD on an annual basis within 90 days
of the end of the program year. Due to the pandemic, HUD provided
an extension to 180 days. The program year ended on September
31, 2021.
The 2019 CAPER describes how the City used the CDBG program
funds during that program year. The original formula allocation for
2019 was $135,695. Those funds were allocated for:
• $27,000 for City CDBG planning and administrative activities
• $108,695 for the Columbia Valley Housing Association down
payment assistance program.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic a special allocation of CDBG
funding came through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic
Security Act (CARES Act) passed by Congress. The first round of
CDBG-CV was $83,927. The City amended the 2019 Annual Action
Plan on May 19, 2020, to identify the use of the new funds and to
reallocate of $50,000 of unspent down payment assistance program.
The new 2019 allocation included
• $27,000 for City CDBG planning and administrative activities.
• $58,695 to the Columbia Valley Housing Association down
payment assistance program.
3/16/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
200 of 241
• $133,927 Microenterprise business grants of up to $5,000
grants administered by the Chelan Douglas Port Authority.
The City received an additional $114,862 (CDBG-CV3). The 2019
Annual Action Plan was amended for a second time on February
2, 2021, to allocate the new funds. The amended plan included
the following new programs:
• Additional $5,000 for City CDBG planning and administrative
activities
• $15,000 for the Chelan & Douglas County COVID-19 Food
Assistance Program.
• $94,862 to the Community Action Council for emergency
income payments for rent and utilities.
The following expenditures occurred during the program year.
• Administration & Planning Funds: The City expended $26,979.
The funds were primarily used for development of the new
2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the first amendment to the 2019
Annual Action Plan, and developing the microenterprise grant
program.
• Down payment assistance program: The Columbia Valley
Housing Association was able to close on one property
expending $35,000 for downpayment assistance and closing
costs. Since funds were still available from the 2018 Program
Year allocation, no 2019 funds were used. This program has
been heavily impacted by the lack of inventory of homes for
sale within a price range affordable to low-income individuals.
• Microenterprise grants: The City executed a subrecipient
agreement with the Chelan-Douglas Port Authority to
administer this program. Two businesses received Micro-
enterprise grants for a total expenditure of $10,000.
• Food Assistance Program: This program started on February
3, 2021. No funds have been expended as yet.
There are other activities listed in the CAPER including efforts to
address homelessness and opportunities to facilitate housing
development. Those activities did not involve CDBG funds, however
they do address some of the goals of the CDBG program.
A combined notice of availability and notice of public hearing was
published in the Wenatchee World on February 27,2021, to initiate
the required 15-day comment period. The notice and a copy of the
Draft 2019 CAPER was also posted on the City web site.
No comments have been received.

CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a)
The 2020 CDBG formula grant was $135,695. The 2020 Annual Action Plan allocated the fund to the following projects:
• $27,000 for City CDBG planning and administrative activities
• $108,695 for the Columbia Valley Housing Association down payment assistance program. Direct assistance for up to 5 households.
On March 13, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic was declared a national emergency. A special source of funding was provided through the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) passed by Congress. These funds are intended to prevent, prepare for and
respond to the coronavirus pandemic. The first round of funds for the CDBG program was identified as “CDBG-CV”. On April 13, 2020 the City
was notified of a special allocation of $83,927.
The 2019 Annual Action Plan was amended to allocate the funds. Resolution 2020-16 was approved by Council on May 19, 2020, amending the
CDBG 2019 Annual Action Plan in response to the special allocation of CDBG-CV funds. Included in that amendment was the reallocation of
$50,000 of unspent 2019 CDBG program year funds that had previously been allocated for the down payment assistance program. The amended
plan included the following programs:
• $27,000 for City CDBG planning and administrative activities
• $58,695 to the Columbia Valley Housing Association down payment assistance program. Direct assistance for up to 3 households. This
represented a $50,000 reduction in funding for that program.
• $133,927 Microenterprise business grants – it was estimated that up to 26 businesses could be provided with $5,000 grants.
On September 11, 2020 the City was notified of a special allocation of an additional $114,862 designated as CDBG-CV3. The 2019 Annual Action
Plan was amended for a second time to allocate the new funds. Resolution 2021-03 was approved by Council on February 2, 2021, amending the
CDBG 2019 Annual Action Plan in response to the special allocation of CDBG-CV3 funds. The amended plan included the following programs:
• $5,000 for City CDBG planning and administrative activities 3/16/2021 City Council Agenda Packet 206 of 241
CAPER 2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• $15,000 for the Chelan & Douglas County COVID-19 Food Assistance Program. The program is administered by Serve Wenatchee, a
private non-profit, faith-based organization and the Town Toyota Center. Chelan Douglas Health District, the City of Wenatchee, and the
City of East Wenatchee are providing the funding for the program. Boxes of food are prepared and delivered to persons or families that
are required to quarantine or isolate as a result of exposure to COVID-19. This program is meeting an urgent need created by a serious
and immediate threat to the health and welfare of the community.
• $94,862 to the Community Action Council for emergency income payments for rent and utilities. This program provides funds to low-
and moderate-income individuals and families who are impacted by COVID-19. The qualifying income limit is 80% of area median
income. Funds will be available to pay up to six consecutive months of rental assistance or utility payments. The funds are paid directly
to the landlord or the utility company on behalf of the qualifying tenant.
Administration & Planning Funds: The City expended $26,979 in administrative costs primarily used for development of the new 2020-2024
Consolidated Plan, the first amendment to the 2019 Annual Action Plan and developing the microenterprise grant program.
Down payment assistance program: The Columbia Valley Housing Association was able to close on one property in 2020 expending $35,000 for
downpayment assistance and closing costs. That project was charged to the balance remaining in the 2018 Program Year allocation. This
program has been heavily impacted by the lack of inventory of homes for sale within a price range affordable to low-income individuals. Since
2017, the median sales price for homes in the Wenatchee market area has increased from $290,000 to $370,00 with the average increasing from
$317,820 to $415,873 in 2020.
Microenterprise grants: The City executed a subrecipient agreement with the Chelan-Douglas Port Authority to administer this program. They
were previously awarded funds from the state for grants to businesses impacted by the pandemic. Interest in the CDBG Microenterprise
program has been low. Two businesses received Micro-enterprise grants for a total expenditure of $10,000. Requirement for CDBG program
eligibility are more stringent than the state programs.
Food Assistance Program: This program started on February 3, 2021. No funds have been expended as yet.
Emergency income payments for rent and utilities: This program has not started yet. It is anticipated that a contract with Community Action
Council will be formalized in March or April.

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan,
giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.
The primary basis for allocation of CDBG resources is to serve the needs of low and moderately low income households, business, and
individuals. Consolidated Plan strategies developed through the community planning process reflect that a significant amount of funds are
targeted to projects that benefit the low to moderately low income households. The funds that have been expended have benefitted low to
moderate households or businesses.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any
publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the
needs identified in the plan.
The City often uses CDBG funds to leverage other federal, state, local and private resources to
meet housing and community development needs. While matching funds are not currently
required for the City’s CDBG program, the City anticipates that most major projects will be
funded primarily through non-CDBG resources.
The Columbia Valley Housing Association downpayment assistance program leverages very
little CDBG funding with a significant private investment. The ratio of CDBG funds to private
funds is approximately $1 of CDBG to over $9 of private funding.
The microenterprise grant program requires no match and is responding to the economic
impacts attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. It should be noted that the Chelan-Douglas Port
Authority is not charging any fees for the administration of the program.

Table 6 – Number of Households Supported
Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting
these goals.
The overall goal of the community planning and development programs available from the City
with CDBG funding is to assist low and moderate income households in obtaining affordable
housing. Unfortunately, a review of the projects and activities implemented in program year
2019 demonstrate that the City has made limited progress in fulfilling its goals.
The downpayment homeowner assistance program has been adversely impacted by the lack of
inventory of homes for sale within a price range affordable to low-income individuals. East
Wenatchee is a small community. Single-family homes only make up 56% of the total housing
units in the City compared to 66% in Douglas County. In November of 2017, there were 70
homes for sale that had a list price of $300,000 or less, representing 32% of the total inventory.
In November of 2020, there were only 24 homes listed at $300,000 or less, representing 14% of
the inventory of homes on the market. The tight market and high cost, makes it difficult to find
homes for low-income buyers.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs.
The City does not directly fund homeless outreach. Outreach is conducted through the work of
organizations that operate in East Wenatchee and Wenatchee providing housing and housing
support programs serving homeless and those at-risk of becoming homeless. East Wenatchee
has no housing programs and relies upon other local agencies.
Also, East Wenatchee Community Development Department staff regularly attend meetings of
the Chelan Douglas Homeless Advisory Committee. That committee includes representatives
from various housing and service providers including state and local government agencies, non-
profits, local landlords, and faith-based organizations.
Elected officials from the City of East Wenatchee are members of the Chelan Douglas Homeless
Housing Task Force. City staff also participate in the meetings. That group is responsible for the
development of the local homeless housing strategic plan and recommends awards for the
distribution of the Chelan-Douglas Counties Homeless Housing fund (RCW 36.22.179 and RCW
36.22.1791), City of Wenatchee Low-Income Housing funds, Consolidated Homeless Grant
(CHG), Housing & Essential Needs Grant Funds (HEN) and Emergency Solutions Grant funds
(ESG). The funding is allocated using a competitive grant application process that is typically on
a 2-year cycle. The city of Wenatchee is the lead entity for this process.
The 2020-2021 Homeless Housing Funding Awards allocated $92,000 to direct Homeless
Outreach and $688,000 for the Coordinated Entry/Diversion and Training Programs. All of the
programs are outreach efforts directed toward assessing the needs of the homeless and helping
folks find alternatives to living on the streets.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons.
Homeless housing funding awards were granted for emergency shelter operations and support
in the amount of $648,427. The emergency shelter programs include year-round shelters,
severe-weather shelters, and hotel voucher programs. The hotel voucher program was funded
to provide an alternative to emergency shelters when the typical shelter environment will not
work for the family such as families with children or persons with disabilities.
Local transitional housing providers were awarded $563,059.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care
facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections
programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.
Homeless Housing Funding Awards were allocated for Prevention in the amount of $679,732.
Prevention programs include legal assistance to help a tenant work out a program to avoid a
pending eviction. Funding was awarded to an agency that provides transitional housing for
individuals that have been released from a correctional facility.
Rental assistance programs from various agencies were awarded $583,774. The program helps
tenants pay rent up to a maximum of 2 years.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
Homeless Housing Funding Awards were allocated for Rapid Rehousing program in the amount
of $640,237. The Rapid Rehousing services include a landlord liaison program. Some landlords
are hesitant to rent to individuals or families with poor rental histories. This program allows
landlords to sign up to participate knowing they will have a support system. If there is a
problem with the tenant, the landlord can contact the agency. There is also a mitigation reserve
that can pay for damages over and above the security deposit.
Permanent Supportive Housing projects were awarded $629,734. This includes an award to a
recently completed project to help them pay down the debt for the facility.

Actions taken to address the needs of public housing.
In 2002, the city of East Wenatchee executed an interlocal governmental cooperation agreement (ILA)
with the Housing Authority of Chelan County and the City of Wenatchee. The ILA allows the Housing
Authority to operate, under limited circumstances, within the city limits. An East Wenatchee city
councilmember serves on that agency’s board of directors. The Housing Authority operates an
apartment complex that includes 35 year-round units for low-income farmworkers.
The Housing Authority also operates the Section 8 Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program with 494
vouchers. Approximately 150 of the participants in the program reside in East Wenatchee. They also
have 47 HUD Veteran’s Assistance Vouchers.
The Housing Authority has a range of services to address the needs of their tenants.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership
No activities or actions were taken by the city. However, the Housing Authority offers their tenants and
clients a self-sufficiency education program which includes information on managing money, caring for a
home, and life skills.
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs.
The Housing Authority is not a troubled PHA.

The City initiated a project to audit the Zoning Code, Subdivision Code, and Greater East
Wenatchee Area Design Standards & Guidelines to identify barriers and opportunities to
expand the type of housing that would be allowed in the single-family zoning district and other
districts that allow housing. Code amendments are in the process of being adopted that would
allow duplexes and triplexes in the single-family zoning district. More variety in housing types is
a proven method of expanding affordable housing options.

site that provides educational pamphlets regarding lead-based paint hazards to tenants,
contractors, and homeowners regarding lead-based paint. The City also works directly with
each subrecipient to ensure compliance with the regulations regarding lead-based paint.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The Columbia Valley Homeownership program gives families an opportunity to buy their first

City staff and elected officials actively participate in community efforts to address the needs of
low-income residents. A Councilmember sits on the Housing Authority Board. The Mayor, a
Councilmember, and Community Development Director regularly attend meetings of the
Chelan Douglas Local Homeless Housing Task Force. The Task Force serves as a decision-making
body providing oversight, direction, and guidance for the development and implementation of
the Chelan-Douglas Homeless Plan. The Task Force is responsible for establishing and
overseeing the local process for applying for, reviewing, and prioritizing project applications for
funding allocations to support the continued reduction and prevention of homelessness in
Chelan and Douglas counties.

City staff also attend meetings of the Chelan Douglas Homeless Advisory Committee. That
Committee provides an opportunity for housing and service providers to “spot-light” their
programs fostering coordination among agencies and bringing more understanding of the
services and facilities that are available to assist those who are homeless or at risk of becoming
homeless.
Additionally, staff and an elected official participate in the Our Valley Our Future planning
efforts as members of the original Core Team. Our Valley first initiated a conversation with the
community in fall 2015, asking thousands of residents what they saw as the region’s core
values, biggest strengths, weaknesses and challenges, and best ideas. This dialogue was
accomplished through interviews with community leaders, public surveys, presentations to
local organizations, public open houses, and workshops for the wider community. All of the
information and ideas obtained from residents was collected, compiled and analyzed forming
the building blocks of a long-term vision and action plan that was produced. This plan is
organized into six focus areas and presented in a matrix format listing 28 strategies, 149 actions
and 7 major projects in all. The plan has been updated annually to highlight projects that have
been completed and to add projects requested by the community. These projects drive the
vision forward and produce positive outcomes for the region.
Participation in homeless housing outreach activities and regional planning efforts provide City
staff and elected officials with valuable institutional knowledge of the needs of the community.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
City staff regularly attend meetings of the Chelan Douglas Homeless Housing Advisory
Committee. The Committee includes housing and service providers. Representatives are from
the rental association, faith-based organizations, non-profits, state and local agencies. The
Committee concentrates on outreach and communication between service providers and other
public agencies that may be in contact with homeless individuals and families. This group
provides recommendations to the cities, counties, and housing and service providers relative to
actions that will reduce homelessness, encourage rapid re-housing, support and educate
landlords, and provide information to the general public regarding homelessness.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the
jurisdiction’s analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)

Subject: RH2 Engineering Task Authorization No. 1
Date: March 16, 2021
I. Summary Title: RH2 Engineering Task Authorization No. 1 associated with additional
stormwater and asphalt work in conjunction with the Douglas County Sewer District’s
Kentucky View Lift Station Phase II project.
II. Background/History: The Douglas County Sewer District (Sewer District) identified a
need to expand their sanitary sewer system and started the first phase of their
Kentucky View Lift Station project in 2016. This project installed a new sewer lift
station and replaced existing sanitary sewer pipe in 4th Street SE located east of S Iowa
Ave. Now the Sewer District is executing phase II of the Kentucky View Lift Station
project, which continues to replace the existing 4th Street SE sanitary line from S Iowa
Ave west.
Public Works staff have identified two (2) City items that can be addressed through
partnering with the Sewer District’s Kentucky View Lift Station Phase II project:
1. Stormwater modeling, as part of the current Stormwater Comprehensive Plan
update, identified a conveyance system deficiency located near the dead-end of
Pace Dr. This deficiency is related to an undersized storm sewer pipe that
discharges into the City’s Pace Drive stormwater pond. This deficient area is
adjacent to the Sewer District’s project limits; and
2. Areas of deficient pavement along the 4th Street SE corridor are present within the
Sewer District’s project limits. The Sewer District is already proposing to overlay
the center two-way left turn and westbound lanes from S Iowa Ave to Eastridge
Drive; therefore, there is a partnership opportunity to efficiently repair and overlay
deteriorating pavement in the eastbound lane of 4th Street SE from Eastridge Drive
to approximately 250’ west of S Iowa Ave.
Partnering with the Sewer District to address the two (2) above-mentioned issues is
advantageous to the City due to combining the City’s work into the larger Sewer
3/16/2021 City Council Agenda Packet

District project. This will ultimately reduce engineering and construction costs to the
City.
The proposed RH2 Engineering (RH2) Task Authorization (TA) will allow RH2 to design
and incorporate the City’s work into the Sewer District’s project. In addition, provided
the City accepts the construction bid, the proposed TA includes services during
construction.

CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA BILL
To: City Council and Mayor Crawford
From: Police Chief Rick Johnson
Date: Thursday, March 11, 2021
Subject: EWPD Axon Taser Program.
Summary Title: Chief Johnson along with Sergeant Marshall will present
information regarding an Axon company Taser program for the East Wenatchee
Police Department. The Chief is proposing a 5-year agreement that would meet
EWPD’s taser needs while integrating tasers with the body worn camera system.
1.1. Background/History: In the last month, administration discovered that the
current taser program is lacking in both stock and a valid replacement plan.
Tasers are warrantied for 5-years. The proposed warranty includes legal defense
from Axon on warrantied equipment along with repair and replacement, similar
to the body worn camera program/lease. The EWPD currently has tasers as old
as 2013 and does not have enough tasers for all commissioned staff. The PD
already has a $2,184 commitment to Axon in 2021 & 2022 for tasers which
would be replaced with the proposed replacement agreement of $9,646.00.
Total cost of the 5-year proposed lease is $56,254.00.
Recommended Action: Motion to authorize the Mayor to negotiate and enter into a
5-year contract with Axon to supply EWPD with tasers and taser related equipment for
an amount not to exceed $56,254.00.
