1. 10th Street NE Improvements – Eastmont Ave to Kansas Ave
The 10th Street NE corridor from Eastmont Ave to Kansas Ave is noted for several
deficiencies pertaining to both motorized and non-motorized transportation. For
example, the roadway lacks adequate subgrade surfacing, multi -modal access (e.g.,
limited sidewalks, poor pedestrian crossings, non-existent bicycle lanes), an adequate
storm sewer system, and illumination.
On August 14, 2018, City Council approved and authorized Mayor Lacy to execute a
Public Works Board Contract for a $750,000 pre-construction loan. This was initially a
5-year loan and was later converted to a 20-year loan with an interest rate of 1.56%.
RH2 Engineering was selected for designing this project. Subsequently, in 2019, the
City secured both federal construction funding ($1,683,189) through the Chelan-
Douglas Transportation Council and state construction funding ($1,126,608) through the
Transportation Improvement Board.

6. 9th Street NE and Valley Mall Parkway Traffic Signal
In 2013, the City successfully acquired a federal grant through the Wenatchee Valley
Transportation Council, now known as the Chelan -Douglas Transportation Council, for
constructing a traffic signal at 9th Street NE and Valley Mall Parkway. Subsequently, the
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) considered constructing a
roundabout at SR28 and 9th Street NE and needed time to evaluate both intersections.
Additional federal funding was secured in 2016 for dual roundabout s; however, a traffic
signal was ultimately deemed the best option for the 9th Street NE and Valley Mall
intersection. The traffic signal project is now moving forward.

March 2021 Financial Report
Revenue Highlights:
General Fund revenues are down $165,392, or 13.94%, year over year due to:
$98,084 decrease in the sales tax allocation to this fund per normal year over year allocation
variances (overall total sales tax is up 9.1% for the City’s funds combined); and a
$23,663 decrease in phone/cellular utility tax for reasons that the Finance Department is
currently auditing.
The above decreases are offset by the following increases year over year:
$32,868 increase in criminal justice sales tax presumably due to an increase in retail sales
activity in Douglas County; and a
$31,857 increase in property tax allocation to this fund per normal year over year allocation
variances
Street Fund revenues are up $154,141, or 40.97%, year over year due to a $170,000 increase in
sales tax allocated to the fund, which is a budgeted increase out of necessity to keep the fund with a
healthy year-end fund balance.
Equipment R&R Fund revenues are up $124,577, or 35.59%, year over year due to the increased
revenue needs of this fund per the new revolving fund format as recommended by the State Auditor’s
Office.
Community Development Grants Fund revenues are up $35,000 year over year due to the timing
of reimbursements.
Hotel/Motel Tax Fund revenues are down $14,599, or 19.99%, year over year presumably due to a
decrease in hotel stays in the City.
Street Improvements Fund revenues are down $12,868, or 17.02%, year over year due to the
normal timing differences of projects associated with this fund.
Capital Improvements Fund revenues are down $80,451, or 42.95%, year over year due to the
decreased collection of real estate excise tax presumably due to less or smaller real estate sales
transactions.
Storm Water Fund revenues are down $2,598,797, or 99.36%, year over year because last year the
City received a large influx of its share of revenue from Douglas County due to a terminated interlocal
agreement with them for storm water services.

March 2021 Financial Report
Expenditure Highlights:
General Fund expenditures are up $45,054, or 2.46%, year over year due to:
General overall salary and benefit increases; and a
$44,206 increase in fleet rental costs for the Police Department related to the new format of
the City’s equipment rental fund.
The above increases are offset by the following decreases:
$25,296 decrease in capital outlay costs for the Police Department due to the timing of
purchases related to that line item.
Street Fund expenditures are up $13,066, or 5.41%, year over year due to a $42,148 increase in
fleet rental costs related to the new format of the City’s equipment rental fund.
Equipment R&R Fund expenditures are up $35,701, or 29.58%, year over year due to the timing of
the purchase of three new police vehicles compared to when they were purchased last year.
Additionally, the new vehicles are hybrids, which are more expensive than non-hybrid models.
Street Improvements Fund expenditures are up $30,281, or 40.40%, year over year due typical
timing variances associated with the capital projects in this fund.
Storm Water Fund expenditures are down $128,951, or 58.73%, year over year primarily due to the
City’s stormwater utility cost no longer being paid for out of this fund.
The reports presented in the following pages represent accounting system generated line-item details
of revenues, expenditures, budgets, and cash balances for each fund through March 31, 2021.

CHAPTER 3
LAND USE
INTRODUCTION
The Land Use Element is the Greater East Wenatchee Area’s 20-year vision for land
use. This element generally describes the existing conditions regarding urban land use
in the study area. Urban lands are those lands located within the East Wenatchee
Urban Growth Area (UGA). These lands have growth patterns that have or will have an
intensive use of the land for uses and buildings that are incompatible with rural or
resource uses.
This element will take the conclusions and recommendations reached in other chapters
and synthesize them into a land use map for the study area. While the Land Use
Element builds upon the existing land use pattern and presence of natural features, it
also sets forth some changes in the way land use development should occur in the
future.
WASHINGTON STATE GOALS AND MANDATES
RCW 36.70A.070
Each comprehensive plan shall include a plan, scheme, or design for each of the
following:
(1) A land use element designating the proposed general distribution and general
location and extent of the uses of land, where appropriate, for agriculture, timber
production, housing, commerce, industry, recreation, open spaces, general aviation
airports, public utilities, public facilities, and other land uses. The land use element shall
include population densities, building intensities, and estimates of future population
growth.
POPULATION
The Growth Management Act requires counties to adopt a 20-year population projection
from a projection range provided by the Office of Financial Management (OFM) for
planning purposes. (See Table 3.2 for the current OFM projections for Douglas
County.) This population projection is the basis upon which comprehensive plans are
developed. The Act also requires that plans focus the majority of the population growth
within the urban growth areas where services and public facilities can be provided more
efficiently. The boundary of the UGA is directly related to the projection of population
assigned by the county for each UGA.
Historical trends
The population of Douglas County has grown from a population of 4,926 persons in
1900 to 38,431 in 2010. The decade with the largest population growth was from 1990
to 2000 with an increase of 6,398 persons. The growth between 2000 and 2010 slowed
to 5,828 persons.

Table 3.3 County and East Wenatchee UGA Population Projection
Observations
•In the past 40 years, the population of the East Wenatchee urban area in
relation to the overall County population has increased during each decade.
In 1990 the East Wenatchee UGA was 63.5% of the county population. In
2000 it increased to 65.3% and in 2010 it increased to 68.23%.
Population projection
The ability to anticipate population change and allocate it to smaller geographic areas is
an important planning tool for the development of the Greater East Wenatchee Area
UGA. Population projections help to plan for the impacts of growth and its demands on
facilities and services such as roads, sewers, schools, water systems, fire stations, and
power and other utilities.
The majority of the county’s population growth is required, by GMA, to occur within the
designated urban growth areas. The percentage that was approved by the Douglas

County Regional Council in 2012 was an allocation of 82% of the growth to the 5 UGA’s
and 18% of the growth to the rural area.
Table 3.3 shows the projected population growth for the East Wenatchee Urban Growth
Area. The year 2010 number is the actual population from the 2010 U.S. Census. The
population projections indicate that the East Wenatchee UGA will need to accommodate
an additional 9,954 persons.
UGA RESIDENTIAL LAND CAPACITY ANALYSIS
In 2013, the County and the City performed a residential land capacity analysis to
determine whether the existing urban growth area could accommodate the population
projection.
This land capacity analysis was developed using available information and
reasonable methodology and assumptions. The analysis of the data and
resulting land capacity determination depended upon certain assumptions.
Methodology
Land Use Analysis - The first step of the process involved an extensive analysis of
existing land uses to determine the available vacant land within the residential land use
designations:
•All vacant residential lots were identified – if the parcel was between 4,000 sq. ft.
and 1.5 acres in size and had no structure value - it was considered vacant.
•All other vacant residential property was identified.
•All underutilized residential lands were identified. If a parcel was between 1.5
acres and 5 acres and had one dwelling – 1 acre was taken off for the existing
home and the remainder of the parcel was considered vacant. Lots where the
structures occupied a larger than normal area or the remainder was less than ½
acre, up to 2 acres were taken off for the existing home.
•All properties owned by a utility, government entity or a quasi-public entity were
deleted from the residential vacant land inventory.
•All critical areas were deleted from the vacant land inventory.
•The Mixed-Use and Waterfront Mixed-Use land use designations allow
residential and commercial land uses. Due to the unknown variables of the
Mixed-Use and Waterfront Mixed-Use, a residential capacity of those lands was
estimated to be 50% for commercial and 50% for residential land uses.
Housing Unit Projection - To determine the number of housing units and other land
uses that should be provided to serve the projected population; the first step is to
convert the population projection to a housing unit need. That conversion can be
accomplished by looking at the historic household count and then applying a vacancy
factor since a “household” is an occupied housing unit. Since many factors can
influence the vacancy rate in a community, another method is to simply divide the
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
Page 98 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 7 of 72
number of persons by the total number of housing units to obtain a “persons per
housing unit” rate. This is a simpler approach that accounts for vacancies and other
influencing factors. Over the past 20 years, there has been a decline in the number of
persons per housing unit. This is particularly true in urban areas. An average of 2.57
persons per housing unit was used for the land capacity analysis.
Projection of Land for Other Uses – Increasing the size of the UGA to accommodate
the projected residential land use needs also requires a corresponding increase to the
total land area to accommodate commercial and industrial land uses. The same ratio of
area per land use was assumed based upon the previously adopted land use
distribution. (See Table 3.8 for the ratio of the various land use categories.)
Factors/Assumptions Land Capacity Analysis
• A factor of 2.57 persons per housing unit was used based upon historic trends.
• The target percentages of 83% for single family dwellings and 17% for multi-
family dwellings was based on historic census information for the East
Wenatchee UGA.
• The residential low density land use category allows up to 8 dwelling units per
acre. The medium density multi-family designation allows up to 15 dwelling units
per acre and the high density multi-family designation allows up to 24 dwelling
units per acre. Since achieving those densities depends upon many factors, this
analysis uses a lesser assumed density. The assumed average density of 4
dwelling units per acre was used for single family housing units and 12 dwelling
units per acre was used for multi-family housing units. These factors were
agreed upon by the East Wenatchee Planning Commission and the Douglas
County Regional Planning Commission in August 2003. These assumed
densities are net densities since an additional factor accounts for land needed for
roads, public or non-residential uses, and utilities.
• Land for public purposes includes future roads, utility corridors, parks and other
non-residential land uses. A Roads and Public Uses factor of 25% was added to
the land needs.
• A market factor of 25% was added to the land needs to account for land that for
some reason will not be available for development during the planning period.
The 25% figure was agreed upon by the East Wenatchee Planning Commission
and the Douglas County Regional Planning Commission in August 2003.
• Maintain the ratio of commercial and industrial lands within the UGA. It should
be noted that the open space, recreational, and other public and quasi-public
land uses are permitted within the various land use designations and have not
been designated specifically for a particular parcel of land.
Analysis
The table below converts the projected population growth to a total for needed housing
units based upon the factors and assumptions listed above.

Conclusion
The results of the land capacity analysis determined that the existing UGA was deficient
and needsneeded to be expanded to accommodate the projected population growth.
The results of the Land Capacity Analysis are shown in Table 3.6. The UGA was
expanded in 2015 based upon that analysis.

properties without the mixed use designations. Including the mixed use designations that
brings the percentage down to 86%. The target ratio of single family to multi-family is 83%
single family and 17% multi-family. This requires an increase in the multi-family designation
to offset the addition to the single family designation to achieve this target ratio. This is an
important factor since single family homes are permitted in the multi-family designation but
multi-family is not permitted in the single family designation.

LAND USE DESIGNATIONS WITHIN THE URBAN GROWTH AREA
Table 3.8 Acreage by Designation
RESIDENTIAL
The quality and integrity of residential neighborhoods defines the character of the
community. Ensuring that these neighborhoods remain stable and vital is of primary
importance. To meet the goals of the Growth Management Act, the Land Use Plan, and
the Housing Plan, several residential land use density types have been established.
Low Residential
It is envisioned that this designation would permit a range of housing options and densities
to provide areas desirable for single-family residential use. The primary and preferred land
use is residential. The use of innovative housing techniques such as attached single
family, zero-lot line housing, averaging lots sizes, and other alternates should be
encouraged infilling and variety of housing types and densities. In order for these
techniques to be used in a manner that protects the integrity of the surrounding properties,
there must be mechanisms to ensure neighborhood compatibility and good design quality.
Urban governmental services and infrastructure must be available at the time of
development or there must be a plan in place, with funding, to insureensure that a full
range of urban governmental services is available to serve the development within the
planning period. To ensure that land development patterns provide urban densities,
mechanisms such as minimum densities, maximum setbacks, and other regulatory tools
may be necessary in areas where these urban services are planned for but are not yet
available.
Residential densities allowed in the low residential land use category should be up to 8
dwelling units per acre or up to 10 dwelling units per acre if developed adjacent to

commercial or mixed uses designations or as part of an infill project. Future development
within the UGA is expected to attain a target average density of at least 4 dwelling units
per acre.
Medium Residential
The Medium Residential designation is intended to provide areas suitable and desirable
for residential use accommodating multi-family and medium density single-family
opportunities. Mixed residential and professional office or residential and retail can also be
accommodated in this district adjacent to commercial designations.
Urban governmental services and infrastructure must be available at the time of
development or there must be a plan in place, with funding, to insureensure that a full
range of urban governmental services is available to serve the development.
Multi-family designations should be applied in areas along existing or planned
arterial/collector transportation corridors, or areas in proximity or within walking distance of
commercial nodes. The multi-family designation may provide a transition from low density
residential to higher intensity residential and commercial uses. Multi-family areas should
be accompanied by open spaces, and transit linkage in order to make these densities
viable and compatible with the community.
Design standards should be applied during the development phase of the projects to
ensure that multi-family development is compatible with existing and surrounding
neighborhoods.
Residential densities allowed in the medium residential land use category should be up to
15 20 dwelling units per acre with a target density of at least 12 dwelling units per acre.
Residential High/Office
The Residential High/Office designation is a land use category that would allow a range of
housing choices and a limited range of office style commercial opportunities for low
intensity personal and professional services. This district is a transition designation
providing a buffer between lower density land uses and higher intensity uses such as
between residential and commercial uses or areas along major transportation routes
where the intensity of activities on adjacent land make it less attractive for low density
residential uses.
Urban governmental services and infrastructure must be available at the time of
development or there must be a plan in place, with funding, to insureensure that a full
range of urban governmental services is available to serve the development.
The Residential High/Office designation should be applied in areas along existing or
planned arterial/collector transportation corridors and areas adjacent to commercial nodes.
Development of this land use type should adhere to design standards to achieve
compatible scale and design to enhance the livability and appearance of the community.
These projects should be configured to be transit-oriented, pedestrian friendly, and provide
affordable housing. This land use designation is also intended to provide a location for low
intensity office space.

Page 103 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 12 of 72
Residential densities allowed in the Residential High/Office land use category should be
up to 24 30 dwelling units per acre with a target density of at least 8 12 dwelling units per
acre.
COMMERCIAL
The commercial center of a community serves as the major economic and employment
sector. Commercial properties provide goods and services to the community to satisfy
the needs of existing and future residents and visitors. These commercial centers
provide revenue to the community in taxes collected on goods and services, increased
property values, as well as wages.
In preparing for updates to the comprehensive plan, the planning commissions from the
city and county used an active citizen involvement process with a visioning process and
neighborhood meetings.
The Community Vision project completed in 2002 resulted in the development of a
community vision statement providing direction for planning in the Greater East
Wenatchee area as well as the remainder of Douglas County. Some of the components
of that vision are particularly relevant to the discussion of commercial land uses. The
Community Vision stressed:
• Growth in employment and living wage jobs
• Encouraging tourism and recreation opportunities
• Recognizing East Wenatchee as the urban center of the Greater East
Wenatchee Area
• Improving transportation systems including pedestrian facilities to better serve
commercial areas
• Providing street trees and creating “gateways” to the community.
In 2004, the city and county planning commissions participated in a series of
neighborhood planning meetings with residents and property owners in the Greater East
Wenatchee Urban Area. The purpose of that series of meetings was to find out what
the residents wanted to see in their neighborhoods and the community in the next 20
years. Many consistent comments were received regarding commercial properties
including:
• More attractive commercial areas, more landscaping
• Development of the riverfront with hotels, restaurants, and a marina
• Limiting big box stores
• More neighborhood commercial areas such as mini marts to serve residential
areas
• Better commercial planning – more defined commercial areas
• Expansion of the commercial areas
Based upon the Vision, the comprehensive plan should ensure that commercial
properties are developed with quality designs that reflect the vision of the community
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet

Page 13 of 72
and in a manner that is compatible with surrounding residential and commercial land
uses. The goals and policies in this chapter address the community’s vision for these
commercial areas.
DESIGNATED COMMERCIAL AREAS
Revisions adopted in the 2005 comprehensive plan amendment process resulted in the
city and county adopting the same commercial land use designations and the same
development regulations for properties within the UGA.
The intent of the commercial designations varies in type and intensity in order to
achieve the overall community vision. All of these designations should be sited
according to the goals, policies and design criteria set forth in this section.
The expansion of the UGA must provide additional locations for commercial
development. Several areas were identified as being feasible for commercial
development. Existing commercial land use options may not be suitable for these new
areas due to existing neighboring land uses and other factors. Additional commercial
land use options will be explored by the city and county to better meet the needs of the
community and these expansion areas.
Table 3.8 provides the area calculations for the existing commercial designations. Since
the Mixed Use designations stress a strong residential component, it is anticipated that
they will contribute to the commercial and residential land base.
Central Business District (CBD)
The Central Business District generally follows a north to south direction as it follows
Valley Mall Parkway and a west to east direction as it follows Grant Road. To ensure
commercial development is compatible with surrounding uses and the general character
of the community, design criteria has been developed that promotes street trees along
major corridors, and stresses architectural and landscaping design to create pleasant
and attractive developments. New development should be designed to be transit
oriented, pedestrian friendly, and provide open spaces.
Within the CBD there are existing land uses that are not permitted under the existing
zoning regulations for that district. The CBD designation should be analyzed
periodically during the development of the zoning districts regulations to determine the
appropriate land uses for various locations. In the future, it may be appropriate to
separate this district into smaller sub-districts to better address the particular land uses
that currently exist and to insureensure that existing and proposed land uses are
compatible. This analysis should also evaluate the infrastructure existing and planned
for those areas with regards to the needs of the particular land uses.
General Commercial (GC)
The General Commercial designation permits a greater range of commercial uses than
those allowed in the CBD designation. Additional uses may include mini-storage, light
warehousing, or other non-retail uses in addition to a full range of retail uses. The intent of
this designation is to allow commercial uses that will create varied job opportunities and
provide services to the community that are not strictly retail in nature.
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
Page 105 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 14 of 72
Although pedestrian access is stressed throughout this plan, the general commercial
designation is expected to be more automobile oriented than the CBD designation.
Design criteria for commercial and industrial land development in this designation should
be similar to the CBD but with less reliance on pedestrian access.
Neighborhood Commercial (NC)
The purpose of the Neighborhood Commercial designation is to provide convenient
commercial facilities for those residential areas that do not have easy access to the
Central Business District. This commercial designation is intended to form at nodes as
neighborhood retail and activity centers that provide a contrast to the typical linear
orientation of commercial strips. These commercial centers are focal points for the
neighborhood with low-intensity, small-scale retail sales and services that cater to the
surrounding neighborhood. There should also be provisions for residential uses. These
neighborhood centers are best located in areas where there is a residential
neighborhood within walking distance for the residents.
These districts have regulatory provisions for site size, building height, and bulk of
structures to insureensure that they are neighborhood oriented. Standards also include
landscaping and buffering methods to protect and preserve the residential character of
adjacent homes and apartments. Facilities must be provided for bicyclists, pedestrians,
and vehicular access. There should also be transit access considerations, where
possible. The following guidelines must be used when considering a site for
Neighborhood Commercial designation.
a) Site size should be no larger than 5 acres, excluding right-or-way, and
situated to have minimal impact on surrounding residential areas;
b) Sites should be located in residential areas that are at least one mile from the
Central Business District or General Commercial designation and one half
mile from any other site designated Neighborhood Commercial;
c) These sites will be located on either a collector or arterial street and oriented
to face that street. However, access to the site may be from a local access
street if sight distance or traffic impacts warrant it;
d) Structures should generally be designed at a pedestrian-scale (two stories or
less) and promote pedestrian activity while providing facilities for local
automobile traffic;
e) 100% of the total gross floor area of the ground floor of all structures must be
used for commercial purposes, residences may be permitted on the upper
stories, and
f) Shared parking between adjacent uses will be by written agreement. Parking
will be designed and located so as to enhance pedestrian activity.
There are four Neighborhood Commercial sites designated within the UGA. A 2.7 acre
area site is located on State Route 28 north of 33rd St. NW. A 2 acre site is located at
the intersection of Kentucky Ave. and Grant Rd. A 2.7 acre site located at the
intersection of Fancher Field Road and Gun Club Road. A 1.57 acre site at the
intersection of Sunset Highway and 29th Street NW.

Commercial Low Density (C-L)
The UGA expansion in 2015 presented an opportunity to establish additional commercial
land designations to provide greater flexibility for those areas. The GMA stresses
providing livable, walkable communities both to increase the activity level of residents and
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by providing commercial centers in close proximity to
residential areas. With the exception of the Neighborhood Commercial and Mixed-Use
designations, the existing commercial land use districts are more automobile oriented. A
new low density or limited intensity commercial designation was developed for use within
the expansion of the urban growth area and for potential use within the existing UGA.
New commercial development within the UGA along Grant Road at Nile Ave was
established. The City and County’s 2013 work to study the UGA expansion characterized
this area as being designed to be integral to the residential character of the surrounding
area, constructed alongside a mixed-use and multi-family development concept to provide
a transition to surrounding single family neighborhoods.
The Grant Rd/Nile Ave commercial district comprises approximately 70 acres and is
intended to mature into a community-serving commercial and mixed-use district, serving
the needs of the immediate neighborhood and the entire community. This designation is
applied in the hope that it will stimulate more intense residential and mixed-use
development adjacent to it, creating a dynamic and walkable urban environment that is
robust and convenient to residents of eastern East Wenatchee.
Mixed-Use
To increase the variety of development opportunities, two types of mixed-use commercial
areas have been designated. The Waterfront Mixed Use designation takes advantage of
the proximity to the Columbia River, and the General Mixed-Use designation is located on
upland areas that do not have specific shoreline influences. These mixed-use
designations allow a mixture of uses including moderate density residential, recreational,
and commercial activities where people can enjoy shopping, working, and living in the
same area. People appreciate variety in housing, shopping, recreation, transportation,
and employment. This type of compact development can reduce traffic congestion and
benefit public health by promoting a pedestrian atmosphere, enhancing the general
viability of the community. Integrating different land uses and varied building types with a
strong residential component is intended to create a vibrant and diverse community as an
alternative to the traditional “9 to 5” commercial zones where activities are centered on the
workplace.
Mixed uses at a smaller scale may also be permitted in commercial and multifamily
residential designations, making a transition between commercial and single-family uses
or providing for a retail street edge along the community’s arterials.
The following guiding principles should be used when designating the Mixed-Use areas
and implementing them through the adoption of development regulations:
a) Development should be by master plan to ensure an integrated design.
b) Allow for select commercial uses, recreation, and residential development in a
way that serves the needs of the neighborhood and the community.

c) Residential uses are encouraged to be integrated as a component in all
development projects and should target a density of 15 dwelling units per acre.
Single-family detached dwelling styles are discouraged.
d) Encourage a variety of housing options within this designation including
residences above commercial uses.
e) Provide for a type, configuration, and density of development that will entice
pedestrian shoppers to frequent the area, encourage pedestrian traffic between
businesses, provide access to transit, and stress less reliance on motor vehicles.
f) The mixed use designation is not intended for automobile oriented or businesses
that rely on outdoor storage or display of merchandise.
g) InsureEnsure compatibility of mixed use developments with the surrounding
properties, minimize any off-site impacts associated with development with
requirements for buffering, landscaping, compatible scale and design to ensure that
proposed projects enhance the livability of the proposal and integrate with existing
residences in this designation.
h) Multiple buildings on a single site should be designed to create a strong visual
relationship between or among the buildings.
i) Development should take into account the relationship of adjacent buildings in
terms of height, materials, scale, and architecture. The goal is to achieve attractive
structures and preserve significant views.
j) Promote design which will increase opportunities for activities both within the
project boundaries and between existing adjacent developments and
neighborhoods.
k) Relate the size, character, and siting of proposed buildings to create a design that
requires businesses or other activities to front a central or common court or plaza at
ground level to provide a human scale to the development. Avoid siting parking
areas along street frontages and within shoreline areas.
l) Encourage the design of multi-use facilities to accommodate retail and other
commercial uses at the pedestrian level.
m) To facilitate development of commercial uses in conjunction with residential, all
development should provide at least 50% of the gross floor area of the ground floor
for commercial purposes.
n) Buildings should be designed and located to complement and preserve existing
buildings, streets and paths, bridges, and other elements of the built environment.
Particular care should be given to building materials (color and texture), setbacks,
building heights and roof lines, and overall proportions.
o) The mixed-use designation should be established in locations where an orientation
to walkable communities is desired.

General Mixed Use
The designation of General Mixed-Use was originally designed for a 60-acre area
located across from the Kirby Billingsley Hydro Park between SR 28 and Rock Island
Road from S. Jarvis to Lyle Avenue. This designation was anticipated to develop into a
mixture of residential and commercial land uses to provide an integrated community that
would attract a variety of business activities and residential styles.
The expansion of the UGA provided a great opportunity to expand this type of
designation to allow the development of commercial and recreational facilities to serve
the urbanizing area in the 10th Street NE corridor. A new general mixed-use designation
was applied to 88 acres of a larger site north of 10th Street NE between Kentucky
Avenue and the alignment of Nevada Avenue.
The City and County utilized the assistance of a design architect during the development
of the original designation and criteria for the mixed-use areas near Kirby Billingsley Hydro
Park and the Waterfront Mixed-Use area. To implement the mixed-use concept in
different locations, the City and County used the following criteria:
a) Building heights in relation to the airport protection areas;
b) Increased sound insulation for properties within the airport noise control area;
c) Design for an integrated transportation network to insureensure that the carrying
capacity and efficiency of major freight and mobility routes are not adversely
impacted;
d) Ensure that transportation system plans provide for pedestrian and public
transportation options;
e) Develop strategies to insureensure that adjacent low-density development is
provided with adequate buffers and screening to preserve their neighborhood
character,
f) Provide for a variety of land uses to establish a mixed-use pattern that enhances
the existing character of the surrounding area.
g) This designation should be provided to properties of sufficient size to
accommodate the mixture of uses and the master plan approach to development.
It is recommended that these sites be a minimum of 10 acres in size.
h) Urban governmental services and infrastructure must be available at the time of
development or there must be a plan in place, with funding, to insureensure that a
full range of urban governmental services is available to serve the development.
Waterfront Mixed-Use
This designation is intended to take advantage of the shoreline area that makes up the
western boundary of the East Wenatchee Urban Area. This designation is intended to
provide a mixture of residential, recreational, and commercial land use opportunities that
can enhance the shoreline area and would benefit from access to the Apple Capital Loop
Trail. Although much of the shoreline in this designation is currently publicly owned, this
area could develop water-related and water-dependent uses such as marinas and water
parks.

Five areas are designated for Waterfront Mixed Use:
• Between SR 28 and the Columbia River north and south of the Odabashian Bridge
• Between 14th St. NW and 19th Street NW from SR 28 to the Columbia River
• Between NW Cascade Avenue and the Columbia River south of Bellevue St. SW
• Between SR 28 and the Columbia River south of the George Sellar Bridge
• At the intersection of NW Empire Avenue and 27th Street NW.
In addition to the general principles outlined above, the following guiding principles should
be used when designating the Waterfront Mixed-Use designation and implementing that
designation with the adoption of development regulations:
a) Allow for select commercial uses and residential development in a way that
serves the needs of the neighborhood and the community and enhances the
appearance of the shoreline;
b) Developments in this designation should be designed to take advantage of site
conditions and shoreline views;
c) Visual and physical access to the waterfront, for residents of developments and
general public should be incorporated as a design feature in developments within
this land use designation;
d) Due to the proximity of the shoreline and existing residential buildings, structures in
this designation should be smaller in scale (height and footprint) than those allowed
in other commercial designations;
e) Allow recreational uses that complement water-related and water-dependent uses
such as marinas and water parks.
Adoption by Reference. Shoreline Master Program - Douglas County and the City of
East Wenatchee, under the authority of the Shoreline Management Act of 1971, as
amended, adopted a Shoreline Master Program in 2009 and 2010, respectively. The
Douglas County Regional Shoreline Master Program serves as a guide for the use and
development of the shoreline under the statutory authority of the Shoreline Management
Act. In accordance with the Growth Management Act, Master Program goals and
policies are to be integrated and incorporated into local comprehensive plans. All goals
and policies of the Shoreline Master Program are hereby adopted and incorporated into
this Plan by this reference
The Master Program works in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan. By adopting
the goals and policies by reference, it is the city’s and county’s intent to integrate the
shoreline management planning process with its comprehensive plan without the need
to create a separate Shoreline Management Element.

COMMERCIAL --- GOALS AND POLICIES
GOALS:
1. Provide sufficient commercial land that is properly sited to take advantage
of existing utility and public service infrastructure and the transportation
network to ensure growth of the local business community.
2. Create commercial districts that are safe, attractive, pedestrian friendly,
and transit oriented.
3. Establish commercial areas that accommodate a variety of land use
activities to support a diverse and stable economic base while maintaining
the quality of life in the community and the natural environment.
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-1. Promote development of commercial activities in attractive nodes or clusters and
prohibit the linear expansion of commercial development.
C-2. Commercial development should provide well designed buffer areas to
insureensure that the land use is complimentary and compatible with adjacent
land uses.
C-3 Adopt consistent design standards for development in commercial districts to
insureensure 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-4 Adopt standards for commercial development adjacent to shorelines to ensure
that visual and physical access to the shorelines is preserved.
C-5 Commercial development proposals located adjacent to major arterials and
highways should incorporate shared access and parking to reduce the number of

is available to support the development.
C-16 If the property is located outside of the service district boundary of a utility,
annexation into the service district must occur prior to development of the
property.
C-17 Development of commercial uses within any of the protection zones identified in
conjunction with Pangborn Memorial Airport must consider the proximity to the
airport and will be required to comply with any height limitations, density
restrictions, and should consider additional sound insulation in consideration of
noise from the airport operations and overhead flights.
C-18 The City and County should conduct further studies of the mixed-use
classifications:
• To determine suitable designation locations and implementation
strategies for potential locations considering the unique attributes of the
property to insureensure that development of these properties enhances
the general character of the neighborhoods within which they are located
and the general community;
• To further refine the standards applicable to these classifications to
facilitate the development of these properties in compliance with the
purpose and intent of these districts

• To establish specific standards to guide and regulate smaller scale
mixed-use development in commercial and multi-family residential
designations.
C-19 The North Bridge Waterfront Mixed Use Area between SR28 and the Columbia
River north and south of the Odabashian Bridge shall be designated as a Master
Planned Development Overlay Zoning District and master planned developments
shall be encouraged. It is anticipated that Master Plans may be conceptual in
nature and may include alternative development scenarios, provided that:
a) Approved master plans may include land uses not otherwise permitted in
the General Commercial and the Waterfront Mixed Use zoning districts
such as higher density residential developments, professional offices,
and/or a regional hospital and medical facilities in a campus-like setting;
b) Approved Master Plan(s) and/or related Development Agreements may
specify development standards that do not conform to the requirements of
the underlying zoning district, including but not limited to: building height,
parking requirements, signage requirements, lot coverage, and setbacks;
c) Existing buffer requirements may be modified in order to provide greater
protection to neighboring property owners and to promote more
compatible land uses. This may include lower intensity development
proposals such as senior housing, assisted living, and/or professional
offices in a business park setting provided that there is a finding that
adequate standards have been established for building height, setbacks,
and landscaping to effectively buffer the neighboring residential properties;
d) The development scenarios must include provisions for the phased
implementation of private development plans and the required supporting
infrastructure.
It is the intent of these comprehensive plan policies to maximize the development
potential of vacant and underutilized property in the North Bridge Commercial
Area. This may include, but is not limited to:
a) Preparing an access management plan in consultation with WSDOT and
affected property owners to guide the design and construction of future
road improvements necessary to serve the North Bridge Commercial
Area;
b) Preparing and implementing, in consultation with the Douglas County
Sewer District and affected property owners, a strategy to extend sanitary
sewer service throughout the North Bridge Commercial Area;
c) Conducting an environmental review of proposed master plans in order to
identify potential adverse impacts and to develop appropriate mitigation
strategies that will facilitate the permitting of site specific development
proposals;

d) Acquiring surplus public property and/or securing long term public access
to the Columbia River;
e) Preparation of a financing strategy that provides for the timely construction
of public improvements necessary to serve new development in the North
Bridge Commercial Area and that equitably allocates the costs among
benefiting property owners;
f) Executing a development agreement to establish the development
standards to govern future development activities; and/or
g) The addition of parcels adjacent to this or other portions of the East
Wenatchee Urban Growth Area to offset the use of property within the
North Bridge Commercial Area for Essential Public Facilities.
C-20 The General Commercial area designated on the upper bench area, east of
Empire Street, west of State Route 28 (Sunset Highway) and north of 35th Street
NE is intended to develop as a master planned project.
a) A total of 80 acres is designated for this general commercial district. Along the
southern perimeter of the site a transition area would incorporate landscaping
and open space consistent with the North End Master Site (Subarea) Plan.
The purpose of the transition area is to buffer this commercial area from the
less intensive development surrounding the area.
b) Design features for the master plan for projects in this General Commercial
area would include landscaping, transition buffer, linkages to the trail system,
open space, design consistency between adjacent buildings, establishment of
an interior road network, and orientation of buildings for access from the
interior road system.
c) Direct access to the SR 28 by individual uses would be prohibited.
C-21 The City and County should establish additional commercial land use
designations that are not auto-dependent to provide for more flexibility for low
intensity commercial activities in closer proximity to residential areas where it is
appropriate to permit commercial uses on larger sites than would be permitted
under the Neighborhood Commercial designation.
C-22 Design and construction of development in or near shoreline areas must be
consistent with the Douglas County Regional Shoreline Master Program.
INDUSTRIAL
Like commercial lands, industrial lands within the Greater East Wenatchee Area are in
great need. There is a total of 570 acres allocated for industrial purposes inside the urban
growth area. The industrially designated land uses are currently not served by a full range
of urban services. Major water system improvements have been completed providing
domestic water and fire-flow to the industrial area. However, public sewer service is not
available to the area.

The Baker Flats Industrial area is located along SR2/97 and west of the Douglas County
115 KV Transmission Line. It exhibits some topographical changes, sloping from east to
west. The basalt cliffs serve as its eastern boundary. This site consists of some industrial
activities, orchards, and unimproved properties. This site makes an ideal location for
industrial activities due to its proximity to a major highway system, availability of domestic
water and location to service centers. In addition, the area is buffered on three sides by
topographical features. Factors considered ranged for the location of major orchards and
agricultural activities to the north (Bray's Landing, Bridgeport, Chelan, and the Okanogan
Valley), lack of appropriately zoned industrial properties and the need to preserve other
prime agricultural lands.
This site should be developed as an industrial park. Design features should include
provisions for perimeter landscaping with a buffer strip adjacent to SR 2/97 and other land
uses. The buffer strip consists of a berm measuring a minimum of 30 feet wide, 10 feet
high, and landscaped with trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Additionally, an interim 100-
foot buffer will be required adjacent to designated agricultural uses, incumbent upon the
industrial user. Access from SR 2/97 is limited with connection to interior roadways.
Ingress and egress along the designated industrial area is limited to the interior roadway
which connects to SR 28 in at a new roundabout that was constructed to improve access.
Special site plan approval is required for all uses to ensure proper linkages to the internal
road network, intersection improvement, extensions to existing roadways, adequate
parking, landscaping, protection of sensitive area, and continuity in overall project design.
INDUSTRIAL --- GOALS AND POLICIES
GOAL:
Promote industrial development which contributes to economic
diversification, growth and stability of the community without degrading its
natural systems or residential living environment.
POLICIES:
I-1 Encourage the continued development of light industries that are agriculturally related.
I-2 Encourage industrial development to locate in industrial/business park areas adjacent
to major street arterials, preferably on lands not suited for residential uses or
agricultural uses.
I-3 Encourage variety and innovative design in industrial site development and
encourage an attractive and high-quality environment for industrial activities through
good landscaping, parking and building design where land uses of distinct character
or intensity adjoin.
I-4 Actively support economic development measures that serve to revitalize and
promote the growth of existing industrial locations.
I-5 Encourage air related industries and nonconflicting light industries in the Pangborn
Industrial Service Area.
I-6 Encourage, whenever possible, the extension of support facilities and services for
industrial activity.

I-7 Potential impacts on nearby properties and public facilities and services shall be
identified and mitigated when evaluating industrial development proposals.
PROPERTY RIGHTS – GOAL AND POLICIES
The following goal and policies recognize the importance of protecting property rights.
GOAL:
Protect property rights from arbitrary and discriminatory actions.
POLICIES:
PR-1 Ensure all proposed regulatory or administrative actions do not result in an
unconstitutional taking of private property, in accordance with RCW 36.70A.370.
PR-2 Procedures for avoiding takings, such as variances or exemptions, should be
maintained in the city and county regulatory scheme.
ESSENTIAL PUBLIC FACILITIES
The Growth Management Act requires that comprehensive plans include a process for
identifying and siting essential public facilities (EPF), as defined in RCW 36.70A.200(1).
Essential public facilities include facilities and uses which are usually considered
"difficult to site" such as, airports, state education facilities, state or regional
transportation facilities, state and local correction facilities, solid waste handling
facilities, in-patient facilities, mental health facilities and group homes. The Growth
Management Act also states that the siting of such essential facilities may not be
precluded from a comprehensive plan or development regulations. The State Office of
Financial Management maintains a list of essential state public facilities that are
required or are likely to be built within the next six years.
The Douglas County Regional Policy Plan includes policies that are guiding principles for
local comprehensive plans regarding processes for siting essential public facilities of
countywide or statewide significance. Policies and standards must assure that:
a) EPF are served by the full range of services necessary to support the use;
b) EPF located outside of an urban growth area must be self-contained or are
extended services in a manner that does not promote additional development or
premature conversion of lands to other uses;
c) State-mandated siting criteria be incorporated where applicable;
d) EPF are not located on resource lands or critical areas if incompatible.
DEFINITION: The definition of essential public facilities shall be consistent with the
Douglas County Regional Policy plan and include the following: airports, state education
facilities, state or regional transportation facilities, state and local correction facilities,
solid waste handling facilities, secure community transition facilities, and in-patient
facilities including substance abuse facilities, mental health facilities, group homes and
regional transit authority facilities.

Page 25 of 72
Essential Public Facilities goals, policies and process for their siting are set forth in
Chapter 11 of the Douglas County Countywide Comprehensive Plan and are adopted by
this reference for use in the Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan.
CAPITAL FACILITY PLANNING RELATIONSHIP TO LAND USE – GOAL
AND POLICY
In accordance with the Growth Management Act, the Land Use Chapter must be
coordinated with and consistent with the Capital Facilities Chapter. The purpose of the
Capital Facilities Chapter is to ensure that the planning for services and infrastructure
matches the demand for those facilities to serve the land uses that are projected to occur in
the urban area.
GOAL:
Coordinate land use planning and capital facility planning with a schedule
of capital improvements to meet adopted level of service standards
necessary to provide services and infrastructure to support development.
POLICIES:
1. As the development occurs, public facilities and services should be provided at
reasonable costs, in places and at levels commensurate with planned development
intensity and environmental protection, and built to be adequate to serve
development without decreasing current service levels below locally established
minimum standards
2. If the probable funding for capital improvements falls short of meeting the need for
facilities that are determined to be necessary for development, the city and county
must reassess the land use element and other elements of the comprehensive plan.
The analysis should be scheduled at six-year intervals and should determine if a
combination of existing and planned facilities that have secure funding are adequate
to maintain or exceed adopted level of service standards.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE MAP
The Land Use Map illustrates the intended future land use pattern in the Greater East
Wenatchee Urban Area. The map is the result of analysis of the previously discussed
growth and development concept, existing land use patterns, development trends and
desirable growth and development goals.

PANGBORN MEMORIAL AIRPORT
Pangborn Memorial Airport serves the counties of Chelan and Douglas, and portions of
Okanogan and Grant counties, with a service area extending north to the Canadian
border. The Airport provides both general aviation and commercial aviation service.
Pangborn is the Wenatchee Valley area’s gateway to the domestic and international
aviation system.
Formerly known as Pangborn Field, Pangborn Memorial Airport is dedicated to the
famous aviator, Clyde Pangborn, who landed at Fancher Field in 1931, to complete the
first nonstop transpacific flight. The Airport’s relationship to the national economy and
access to air transportation is essential for local residents and the local economy by
facilitating faster access to other regions and markets. Pangborn Memorial Airport is
designated as an Essential Public Facility.
In April 2004 the airport, in conjunction with the Port Districts of Chelan and Douglas
Counties, prepared an updated Airport Master Plan. This master plan identifies and
plans for the needs of the airport and air service operations for the next 20 years. As
the airport continues to grow in its importance to Douglas County and the region; it also
grows in its impacts to the surrounding lands. The airport is currently in the process of
updating their master plan.
The Master Plan recommended that the main runway (Runway 12/30), be extended to
improve safety and better serve the airport traffic. This improvement was completed in
2016, resulting in the current runway length of 7,000 feet. The Master Plan also
recommended the relocation of Grant Road. That road realignment has been
completed.
Pangborn Memorial Airport provides a critical link to the North Central Washington
Region, state and national transportation system. It provides for the efficient movement
of people, goods and services and serves as a commercial, cargo and general aviation
airport. The airport is classified as a primary commercial airport within the National Plan
of Integrated Airport Systems and as a commercial airport within the Washington State
Aviation System Plan.
Land Use Compatibility
Over the last several decades, airports within the state and across the nation have
faced increasing problems with the encroachment of incompatible development.
Incompatible development can impact the operating capability of the airport as well as
endanger the lives of people in the air and on the ground. As the airport continues to
grow in its importance to Douglas County and the region, steps need to be taken to
ensure that land use conflicts are minimized to the greatest extent possible.
The airport is located less than one mile from the East Wenatchee UGA boundary.
Existing land uses adjacent to the airport are predominantly large-lot agricultural with
industrial designated lands located to the north, south, and west of the airport. A small
part of the UGA is located within Compatibility Zone 3 for the secondary runway and the
FAR Part 77 Surface for both runways. The secondary runway is currently closed.
Regulations are in place to protect airport operations from incompatible land use.

Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 28 of 72
To ensure that the function and value of the airport is maintained for future generations,
several tools have been identified. These tools should be used together with the Airport
Master Plan. Additionally, careful consideration should be given to topographical
constraints and the natural environment.
Height
To protect the operating airspace above and surrounding the airport, the State of
Washington adopted RCW 14.12 Airport Zoning, which gave local jurisdictions the
authority to regulate air space hazards. Air space hazards may endanger the lives and
property of users of the airport and of occupants of land in its vicinity. Obstructions may
also reduce the size of the area available for the landing, taking-off and maneuvering of
aircraft, thus tending to impair the utility of the airport and the public investment.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established Federal Aviation
Regulations (FAR) Parts 77 Imaginary Surfaces. Development activity that encroaches
into the Part 77 surfaces may pose a hazard to navigation and reduce the size of the
area available for landing, taking-off, and maneuvering of aircraft, thereby increasing the
potential for an accident. If development activity is allowed that does pose a hazard to
navigation, then airport operation will be adversely affected. Figure 1 shows the FAR
Parts 77 Imaginary Surfaces.
Safety
The Airport Compatibility Zones were developed using information sources
recommended by the WSDOT Aviation Division. The Airport Compatibility Zones do not
encroach into the urban growth boundary.

Noise is the single most significant “effect” from an airport and airport operations. The
best way to ensure compatibility is to reduce the number of people exposed to noise
generated by airport operations and to minimize the level of exposure.
Figure 2 identifies the noise contours that are expected by the planned level of airport
operations. In the areas most affected by noise, 65 dnl or higher, additional precautions
should be taken to minimize this impact.

PANGBORN MEMORIAL AIRPORT
The following goal and policies recognize airports as essential public facilities under the
Growth Management Act and are intended to preserve Pangborn Memorial Airport. The
airport is located outside the East Wenatchee urban growth boundary; however land
uses within the UGA have the potential to impact and are impacted by airport
operations. These policies ensure that the airport can change with the community to
meet the needs of the region.
GOAL:
Provide state and federal system airports with reasonable protection from
airspace obstructions, incompatible land uses and nuisance complaints
that could restrict operations.
POLICIES:
LU -1 Ensure that public or private development around existing airports allows the
continued use of that facility as an airport. Land within aircraft approach and
departure zones will be protected from inappropriate development.
LU -2 Preserve the right of airport owners and operators to continue present operations
and allow for future air transportation and airport facility needs. It is also
important to consider the present and future use of private property and the rights
of private property owners.
LU -3 Douglas County will notify the airport operator, state and federal aviation
agencies, at the time of initial application, of any proposed actions or projects,
which would lead to development near an airport that is not compatible with the
airport’s operations. The airport operator shall notify Douglas County, and
potentially affected citizens, of any proposed operational changes which would
have a significant impact on existing land uses.
LU -4 Land use proposals, structures, or objects that would interfere with the safe
operation of aircraft will be examined for compatibility as defined in CFR Title 14,
FAR Part 77 and FAA Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS) Chapter 12, and
WA 31. The objective is to permit land uses which allow safe aircraft operations

CHAPTER 4
HOUSING
INTRODUCTION
Every community desires to maintain the character and vitality of its established
neighborhoods. An important tool in maintaining the residential character of a
community is the adoption of a housing plan. The GMA requires a Housing Element as
part of every community’s Comprehensive Plan. The Housing Element is closely tied to
the Land Use Element. The Land Use Element designates the proposed general
distribution and location of the uses of land and one of the major uses of land is
housing.
A Housing Element’s purpose is to identify land areas that are suitable for housing. The
plan should contain policies regarding population densities, building intensities, and
future population growth, which shape the community growth and provide for all
economic segments of the population.
The Land Use Element of this plan provides for different types of housing, ranging from
low to high density. The Land Use Element policies encourage a mix of single family
and multi-family development, by providing a diversity of land use designations
throughout the planning area. A mix of housing is encouraged through planned
developments and through a variety of techniques, which would include provisions for
attached single-family units, duplex development, and smaller lot size developments.
This housing element provides some data that is specific to the East Wenatchee Urban
Area. Except where indicated, the remainder of the information and data provided is
based on the larger Wenatchee Market Area or Douglas County. The Greater East
Wenatchee Area does not operate as a market within itself and must be viewed in terms
of the entire Wenatchee Housing Market area.
HOUSING INVENTORY AND CONDITIONS
The most current data on housing comes from the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau. Some data
was collected for the UGA, however most of the data available is for specific places such
as cities, census designated places, counties, and states. Information on the value, sale
price, and rental rates is included in the Housing Affordability section of this chapter.
Table 4.1 lists the housing by type for Douglas County and the city of East Wenatchee for
2000 and 2010 and the total number of housing units for the UGA for the years 2000 and
2010.
• Single-family homes and manufactured homes make up 85% of the housing stock
in the county and 69% of the housing within the city.
• Multi-family housing includes all structures with 2 or more units. Multi-family
housing makes up 15% of the housing in Douglas County and 31% of the housing
in the city.

The percentage of multifamily housing types compared to single-family has been
decreasing. According to the 2010 Census, 15% of the housing units in Douglas County
and 31% of the housing units in East Wenatchee were in buildings with 2 or more units.
In 2018, that percentage decreased to 14% for Douglas County and 30% for East
Wenatchee.
The housing stock within the City tends to be older than in the County. As
demonstrated in Table 4.2, housing built before 1990 makes up 77% of the housing
stock in the City and 69% of the housing in Douglas Countyafter 2000 makes up 22% of
the Douglas County housing stock and only 17% of the City housing stock. By
comparison, 67% of the housing stock in the state was built before 1990.

The growth rate for housing units is slightly higher than the rate for the population
increase within the East Wenatchee UGA. The population of the UGA increased
between 2000 and 2010 by 23.6%. During that same period the number of housing
units increased by 24.6%. That same trend continued through 2012reversed between
2010 and 2020. The estimated population of the UGA increased between by 11% while
the number of housing units increased by 9%. (Source OFM Small Areas Calculations)
It should be noted that the vacancy rate also increased from 5% to 6% between 2000
and 2012. The East Wenatchee UGA had an lower vacancy rate than the City, County,
and the state (See Tables 4.3 and 4.4)

Households by Tenure
A “household” is an occupied housing unit. The City has a higher percentage or rental
housing than Douglas County, 39.640% compared to 28.130% for Douglas County.
That is typical of an urban area since multi-family housing is generally concentrated in
urban areas. The rate of renter occupied is still lower than the state average of 35.6%.It
should be noted that the percentages have increase slightly since the 2007-11 data for
Douglas County were rentals were 28%. The City stayed pretty much the same.

The Housing Authority of Chelan County and the City of Wenatchee owns and operates
several housing complexes in the UGA that provide housing for farm workers on a long-
term and short term basis. Their various properties within the City and the UGA provide
83 units of housing. In addition to the apartments that they own, the Housing Authority
operates the HUD Section 8 housing program that provides tenant-based, rental
assistance to eligible households residing in privately offered rentals.

Senior Housing
There are a variety of options for seniors within the East Wenatchee UGA. Housing is
available that provide levels of care ranging from active seniors who are able to live
independently as well as for those that need more care and assistance. There are
several large complexes where seniors can move from a level of independent living to a
care unit within the same property as their needs change. There are also several
smaller assisted living facilities available in private homes.
Homeless and Other Special Needs Populations
Several group homes and homeless shelters also operate within the UGA. Those
facilities are distributed throughout the community. There are a variety of local agencies
that provide assistance to the homeless including homeless prevention programs.
Many of these activities assist the chronic homeless as well as veterans and other
persons with special needs.
• Community Action Council, Salvation Army, First United Methodist Church,
YWCA of Wenatchee, Women’s Resource Center, and Serve Wenatchee Valley
provide financial assistance (e.g. rent and mortgage assistance, and help with
rental deposits, security deposits, and utility deposits), bus tokens, laundry
vouchers, utility payments, and rental counseling.
• Hospitality House Ministries, Solomon’s Porch (youth), operate homeless
shelters and provide meals for persons living on the streets from their facilities in
Wenatchee.
• Lighthouse Christian Ministries operates a homeless shelter in East Wenatchee
and provide meals for persons living on the streets from their facility in
Wenatchee.
• The Chelan County Regional Justice Center operates a community recovery
program to assist recently released offenders with their transition back to the
community.
In 2005, the Washington State legislature adopted the Homelessness Housing and
Assistance Act (ESSB 2163) which established a fee on documents recorded by the
county auditor as a source of funds for local and state programs to address
homelessness. Local governments were required to prepare and enact a 10-year
Homeless Housing Strategic Plan with a minimum goal of reducing homelessness by 50
percent. The Bill authorized the County Auditor's Office to collect a recording fee and
allows a percentage of the funds to be applied locally to complete tasks and contribute
toward meeting the goals and objectives identified in the plan. According to the annual
homeless counts, the largest portion of the homeless population resides in the city of
Wenatchee. Also Mmost of the agencies providing resources and assistance to the
homeless are located in the city of Wenatchee.

After developing The Ten-Year Plan to Reduce Homelessness in Chelan and Douglas
Counties in 2005, In 2006, the city of East Wenatchee, Douglas County, Chelan County,
and the city of Wenatchee entered into an interlocal cooperation agreement authorizing
the city of Wenatchee to administer the funds collected in accordance with ESSB 2163
for all four jurisdictions. . A Homeless Housing Task Force, made up of local agency
representatives, meets periodically to update priorities for homeless services and
programs and reviews progress made on achieving objectives and activities identified in
the plan. The goals, objectives, and activities identified in the plan guide the annual
funding allocation. An updated plan was adopted in 2019 - the Chelan Douglas
Homeless Housing Strategic Plan. The agreement established a joint collaborative
public process for awarding those funds. East Wenatchee and Wenatchee staff work
together on funding programs related to ending homelessness using these available
funds.
A few years ago, the Washington State Department of Commerce changed their
housing and assistance programs for the funds that are provided by the State. To
address those changes to funding sources and programs, the parties to the previous
interlocal cooperation agreement entered into a new agreement to continue to work
cooperatively in addressing homelessness and housing needs.
The city of Wenatchee continues to administer the programs on behalf of the other
participating agencies by awarding the funds on a competitive basis to local homeless
service providers using as recommended by the Homeless Housing Task Force a
committee made up of representatives from the community and from the local
jurisdictions that are partner to the interlocal agreement.
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
WAC 365-195-310 requires that the Comprehensive Plan include a definition of
"affordable housing." This is difficult to define, since what is affordable for one family can
be drastically different from what is affordable for another family. The US Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) considers 30% of a family's gross income to be
available for mortgage payments or rent, including utility payments. This chapter will use
the 30% factor as a definition of “affordable housing”. If the household is paying 30% or
less for housing, including utilities, the home is considered affordable.

Census ACS 2007-11
Owner Occupied Housing: According to the 2000 US Census, the median value of an
owner-occupied residence in Douglas County was $133,500 which almost doubled the
value from a decade earlier. According to the 2010 Census, the median home price in
Douglas County in 2009 was $222,600, a 67% increase from 2000. The Pacific
Appraisal’s Snapshot Yearend Report indicated that the average sale price for homes in
the Wenatchee Valley Market Area for 2012 November of 2017 was $235,429$290,000.
In November of 2019 the price increased to $349,000. That is an increase of 20%.
During that same time period, median household income only increased by .06%. The
Wenatchee Valley Market includes properties in Chelan County and Douglas County in
the Wenatchee/East Wenatchee vicinity.
According to the 2014-2018 American Community Survey (ACS) the median value of all
owner-occupied housing in Douglas County was $250,800 and in East Wenatchee it
was slightly higher at $256,700.
Table 4.74.8 illustrates the affordability of the local homeowners: 26.523.5% of
homeowners in the City are paying more than 30% of their monthly income for housing.
That is slightly less than the 26.5% in the 2007-2011 ACS data. By comparison
compared to in the 2007-11 ACS data 34.2% of the Douglas County homeowners and
40.7% of homeowners in the state were paying more than 30% of their income for
housing and in the ACS 2014-2018 data that decreased to 26.3%. This trend may partly
be a result of the high concentration of older housing stock available in the City as noted
in Table 4.2.

Another measure of housing affordability for owner-occupied units is the Washington
State Center for Real Estate Research (WCRER) housing affordability index (HAI). The
HAI measures the ability of a middle-income family to make mortgage payments on a
median priced resale home. The calculation assumes a median priced home, 20%
down-payment, a 30-year fixed mortgage and middle income for the area. A typical
home is defined as the median-priced single-family home. The typical family is defined
as one earning the median family income as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau.
This Index assumes that the household is not spending more than 25% of its income on
principal and interest payments. When the index is at 100, the household pays exactly
this share of its income for principal and interest payments. When the index is above
100 it pays less, and when it is below 100, the household is paying more.
During the first quarter of 2020, the housing affordability index for all buyers in Douglas
County was 99, decreasing from 99.6 in 2018. By comparison Chelan County was
100.3, decreasing from 107.9 in 2018 and Washington State was 108.9, decreasing
from 107.5 since 2018. This comparison demonstrates a negative affordability factor for
Douglas County.

Table 4.11 above demonstrates that there is a gap between what a median income
household can afford to buy and the average sale price of homes in the area. The
affordable home price for a median income household is $207,941 while the average
home sales price is $235,429. Table 4.8 shows that there is significant difference
between the average home price and what a low or moderate income household can
afford.
Renter Occupied Housing. The 30% of income threshold is used for determining
affordability of rental housing as well as home ownership. The median household
income for renters is $35,641 which is $2,970 per month. The affordable housing price
at 30% would be $891. Table 4.114.12 lists the rental rates for occupied units. More
than 17% of the units exceed the affordable rent of $891. As can be seen in Table
4.124.13 below, there are a significant number of renters paying more than 30% for
rent: 45.841% of renters in the City and 36% in Douglas County.

LAND USE AND HOUSING
The Housing Element within the Comprehensive Plan is closely tied to the Land Use
Element. The land use element designates the proposed general distribution and
location of the uses of land; one of which is housing. Conversely, the Housing Element
provides guidance on the types and densities of housing to meet the needs of the
community.
The inclusion of population densities, building intensities, and estimates for future
population growth stated in the land use element solidifies its relationship with the
Housing Element. Policies regarding population densities, building intensities, and
future population growth estimates all affect what is possible and desirable in terms of
housing goals and policies.
The Land Use Element provides for a variety of housing types and densities within the
residential designations and provides opportunities for mixed-uses where high density
housing and commercial uses can co-exist. In keeping with historic trends and to
insureensure the availability of housing at varying affordability levels; the land capacity
analysis shows an 83% designation for single-family and 17% for multi-family. Policies
in the plan recommend densities up tofrom 8 to 10 dwelling units per acre for single-
family and a range of up to 15 to 24 30 dwelling units per acre for multi-family and
mixed use designations. Policies have also been included to encourage infill
development, increased density, and affordable housing to meet the needs of the
community.
Beyond the connection between land use and housing policies, the Land Use Element
ensures that there is adequate land area available to provide for the housing needs
related to the twenty year population projection. The availability of land is a crucial
factor in housing costs. The Land Use Element projects population growth out to the
year 20352040. The Land Capacity Analysis is found in Land Use Chapter of the
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan. Sufficient land has been allocated
for a range of housing needs and life styles within the Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. This equilibrium will work as a hedge against high housing costs,
and thereby somewhat contain the current housing affordability gap.
GOALS AND POLICIES

The housing goals and policies are an integral part of maintaining the atmosphere and
quality of life within the Greater East Wenatchee Area. Policies are designed to foster
active neighborhood communities and strengthen existing neighborhoods. .
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.
5. To insureensure that public facilities and infrastructure are available to
support development at urban densities in advance of or concurrent with
development.
POLICIES
H-1 Require residential development at urban densities to locate within urban growth
areas consistent with the comprehensive plan. If the property is located outside of
the service district boundary of a utility, annexation into the service district must
occur prior to development of the property.
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-5 Establish standards and an enforcement process to ensure maintenance of vacant
and developed lots in a clean and safe condition.
H-6 Require the construction of sound, safe, and sanitary dwelling units.
H-7 Use the following criteria for the establishment of residential densities:
a. Adjacent to commercial development, residential development should range
from 8 15 to 24 30 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 20 dwelling units per acre.

Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 45 of 72
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-9 Design of development in or near shoreline areas must be consistent with the
Shoreline Master Plan.
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-12 Development standards must address efficient transportation networks and multi-
modal opportunities for new development requiring the extension of existing streets
into and through developments and the provision of sidewalks and trails for non-
motorized modes of transportation.
H-13 New residential development in the urban growth area must be concurrently served
by a full range of urban governmental services. The City and County should
designate phasing of development areas not currently served by sanitary sewer.
On-site sewage disposal systems are a temporary option that should only be
available to properties located within these phasing areas in the UGA when the
developer:
a) Executes a formal development agreement, recorded and binding upon the
property, providing a financial guarantee to pay for the extension of sanitary
sewer with the creation of a utility local improvement district or other funding
mechanisms;
b) Installs “Dry lines” for centralized public collection at the time of development to
facilitate eventual connection to sanitary sewer;
c) Guarantees connection to the sanitary sewer at the time a main line is extended
to service the property by recording a binding agreement on the title of each lot
or dwelling unit created requiring sewer connection, at the property owner’s sole
expense, when the main line is installed to service the property; and
d) Designs and builds the project in a manner that locates the homes and other
uses on the property to facilitate infill development when the land area needed
for the on-site septic system is no longer necessary;
e) Includes a plan to insureensure that sewer service is provided within a
reasonable period of time.
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-15 Encourage and support programs that provide low cost housing for permanent,
seasonal, and retirement residents of the area.
H-16 Provide flexibility in development regulations to encourage the provision of housing
for low- and very – low income households and for special needs populations, such
as senior citizens, physically challenged, assisted living facilities, nursing home
care, congregate care, emergency shelters, or supervised environments.
H-17 Encourage and support the development of residential support uses such as day
care facilities throughout the community.
H-18 Encourage the rehabilitation of aging housing stock.
H-19 Work with other local jurisdictions and housing providers to identify housing needs
in the planning area; and develop strategies to provide for those needs.
H-20 Provide opportunities and incentives for individual property owners to meet the
housing needs of migrant agricultural workers.
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-22 Development of residential uses within any of the protection zones identified in
conjunction with Pangborn Memorial Airport must consider the proximity to the
airport and will be required to comply with any height limitations and should
consider additional insulation from sound from the airport operations and
overhead flights.
H-23 Develop a program to retrofit existing neighborhoods with the addition of sidewalks
and street illumination.
H-24 Ensure that new developments provide adequate street illumination.
H-25 Adopt zoning, subdivision and design regulations to guide and facilitate
development of mixed-use projects adjacent to and within commercial
designations.
HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
There is limited funding available for housing assistance. The existing housing
assistance resources in the Wenatchee Valley come from several sources, including the
US Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the United States Department
of Agriculture. Specifying specific programs in the Greater East Wenatchee Area is
difficult because of the fact that some residents are serviced by programs that are
region-wide, rural related or not specific to one municipality. Listed below are some
housing assistance funding programs.
Douglas County Regional Affordable Housing Program Fund
Douglas County and the city of East Wenatchee, along with other cities in the county,
collect housing assistance funds annually from the recording of documents. This
program was established by the state legislature in 2002 with the passage of the Low-
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
Page 138 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 47 of 72
Income Housing Projects Program (SHB 2060). That program authorizes a $10
surcharge on documents recorded through the County Auditor’s Office for the purpose
of providing funds for housing programs for extremely low and very low-income
persons.
Douglas County and the cities of Bridgeport, Rock Island, Mansfield, Waterville, and
East Wenatchee pooled these funds and created the “Douglas County Regional
Affordable Housing Program Fund”. The funds are awarded on an a biannual basis or
semi-annual basis depending upon the level of funding available. The Douglas County
Regional Council is the entity that makes recommendation to the County
Commissioners for the award awardsof the funds. This committee Regional Council is
made up of the mayors of each city and the three county commissioners.
Community Development Block Grant Program
The city of East Wenatchee is an entitlement community under Title 1 of the Housing
and Community Development Act of 1974 and is eligible to receive Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds annually from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This eligibility is due to the designation of the
Wenatchee area as an urbanized area as a result of the 2000 Census. HUD provides
guidance for the use of these funds by establishing three broad goals that entitlement
communities must pursue with their allocations:
♦Ensuring that the community’s low- and moderate-income residents have access
to decent and affordable housing
♦Ensuring that the community offers suitable living environments
♦Expanding economic opportunities for the community’s low- and moderate-
income residents
The City completed a Community Development & Housing Consolidated Plan in 2010
2015 that provides the guidance for the use of the funds for a five-year period. Each
year an Annual Action Plan is completed allocating the funds for specific projects based
upon the goals and objectives contained in the Consolidated Plan.
The City annually receives approximately $100,000 per year. A portion of the funds
have been allocated for housing assistance programs. However, the majority of the
funds have been designated for sidewalk projects in low and moderate incomelow- and
moderate-income neighborhoods. The City Council determined that this was the best
use of the funds was to improvesince it would improve the living environment in the
community’s low and moderate incomelow- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
State Housing Programs
Washington State Housing Finance Commission
The Washington State Housing Finance Commission develops and administers
financing programs for affordable housing and cultural/social service facilities through
public/private partnerships with lenders, developers, nonprofit organizations and
governments. The Commission has five divisions, Home Ownership, Capital Projects,
Tax Credit, Compliance & Preservation, and Administration.

WA State Department of Commerce (Commerce)
The Commerce housing division invests public resources to create, preserve and
enhance safe and affordable housing for Washington residents. The Housing Trust
Fund Program provides loans and grants to local governments, nonprofit organizations
and public housing organizations for very low income and special housing needs. The
department provides rental assistance through its Tenant Based Rental Assistance and
Transitional Housing, Operating and Rent programs. Homelessness assistance is
provided by the Emergency Shelter Assistance Program in the form of traditional
shelters, rent/mortgage assistance to prevent eviction, first month’s rent/deposit
assistance to move out of a shelter, landlord mediation and case management services.
The Farm Worker Housing Program provides assistance via capital investments for
permanent and seasonal housing and emergency assistance for migrant farm workers
that are homeless or have been displaced.
Tax Exempt Revenue Bonds
The State of Washington has granted housing authorities the power to issue taxable
and nontaxable bonds to acquire, construct or otherwise develop housing for ownership
by the housing authority or to be owned directly by low income individuals or by others
on behalf of low income people.
Federal Housing Programs
USDA Section 502 Guaranteed Housing Loans These loans require no down payment
and no monthly mortgage insurance and are loans made by approved mortgage lenders
to qualified low and moderate income individuals and families in rural areas.
USDA Section 502 Direct Housing Loan This loan program provides very low and low
income families with financing to build, purchase, repair, or refinance homes and
building sites that meet local codes.
USDA Section 502 Mutual Self-Help Housing Loan Program This program is used

CHAPTER 8
TRANSPORTATION
INTRODUCTION
The Transportation Element addresses the motorized and non-motorized transportation
needs of the Greater East Wenatchee Area. It represents the community's policy
regarding projected transportation needs (current and future), location and condition of the
existing traffic circulation system; the cause, scope and nature of transportation problems,
level of service standards, street classifications and associated transportation problems
the Area must address regarding growth in the next 20 years. As specified in the Growth
Management Act, new developments will be prohibited unless transportation
improvements or strategies to accommodate the impacts of development are made
concurrent with the development. Such improvements and strategies must be in place or
financially planned for within 6 years of development use.
The type and availability of transportation resources are major factors in the development
of land use patterns, while conversely, the way land is used greatly influences the need
and location for new transportation. The relationship between transportation and land use
is one of continuous interaction and their planning must be coordinated. The current land
use plan, the future land use map and the transportation element are highly dependent on
each other and need to be carefully coordinated.
The Wenatchee Valley has a long history of multi-jurisdictional coordination in
transportation planning. Since 2001 that relationship has been formalized in the creation of
a metropolitan planning organization, the Chelan Douglas Transportation Council (CDTC)
– formerly known as the Wenatchee Valley Transportation Council. The CDTC is the
region’s Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO) as well as being the
Metropolitan Planning Organization. Members of the CDTC include the cities of East
Wenatchee, Wenatchee, Leavenworth, Cashmere, Entiat, Rock Island, Chelan,
Bridgeport, Mansfield, and Waterville, Douglas County, Chelan County, the Port of
Douglas County, the Port of Chelan County, Link Transit, and Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
A major component of transportation planning for the Greater East Wenatchee Area is the
Transportation Council’s Transportation 2040 – The Regional Transportation Plan for
Chelan and Douglas Counties (Transportation 2040) and other documents that have been
adopted by reference in this comprehensive plan. As members of the Transportation
Council, all of the major governmental agencies in the region jointly plan for transportation
improvements that affect the region. Coordination with adjacent jurisdictions on
transportation issues is essential to an efficient regional transportation system.
The Transportation Element addresses all roads located within the planning area including
those which are the responsibility of the Washington State Department of Transportation,
Douglas County, the City of East Wenatchee and any private roads currently located or
planned to serve future development. This element provides information on existing
roadway functional classifications and the level of service standard established for each.

This Transportation Element is based upon and consistent with the Transportation 2040
priorities and recommendations.
EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
Roadways - Functional classification system
Classification of streets, roads and highways in the State of Washington is based upon
guidelines prepared by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and administered by
the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Location
A primary determination of the applicable portions of these Standards that must be used
is based on the location of the proposed road or street construction or improvement. In
most cases, the following will govern whether rural, urban or city standards will apply.
Rural
A rural location is defined as that area not within a federally designated urban or
urbanized area or a designated Urban Growth Area as established by Douglas County
under the Growth Management Act.
Urban
An urban location is defined as that area within a federally designated urban or
urbanized area or a designated Urban Growth Area as established by Douglas County
under the Growth Management Act.
Function
Public Streets/Roads
Public streets/roads are those that are continuously open to general public travel and
have been accepted by the City or County into that jurisdiction’s transportation system.
Roads and streets that are dedicated to the public shall become City/County
streets/roads upon completion of the construction to the appropriate jurisdiction’s
Standards, acceptance of the completed construction by the jurisdiction, and approval
of the final plat or other instrument as appropriate by the jurisdiction. All others must be
put on the transportation system by means of the road establishment process as
specified in RCW 36.81 and be constructed to applicable Standards for public roads.
Private Streets/Roads
Private streets/roads are all streets or roads not designated as public and not open to
general public travel.
Functional Classification - General
Rural Classifications
All county roads in rural areas are classified as Rural Local Access, Rural Collector
(Major and Minor), Rural Minor Arterial or Rural Major Arterial. New roads and streets
and any modifications to existing connector or frontage roads that may be required as a
condition of development approval shall meet the minimum design requirements for
rural roads as specified in these Standards. Different standards will apply depending
upon the forecasted traffic volumes and functional classification.
Urban Classification
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
Page 143 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 52 of 72
All streets or roads in urban areas are classified as Urban Local Access, Urban
Collector, Urban Minor Arterial or Urban Principal Arterial. New roads and streets and
any modifications to existing connector or frontage roads that may be required as a
condition of development approval shall meet the minimum design requirements for
urban roads as specified in these Standards, provided however, local access roads
outside of Urban Growth Areas yet within a Federal Urbanized Area may use a rural
standard. Different standards will apply depending upon the functional classification.
Functional Classification – Descriptions
Principal Arterial– Principal arterials permit traffic flow through and between cities and
towns and between major elements of the urban areas. They are of great importance in
the regional transportation system as they interconnect major traffic generators, such as
central business districts and regional shopping centers, to other major activity centers
and carry a high proportion of the total area travel on a minimum of roadway mileage.
Principal arterials frequently carry important intra-urban as well as inter-city bus routes.
Many principal arterials are fully or partially access controlled facilities emphasizing the
through movement of traffic. Within the category are (1) interstates (2) other freeways
and expressways and (3) other principal arterials. Spacing of principal arterials may
vary from less than one mile in highly developed central business areas to five miles or
more in sparsely developed urban fringes and rural areas. Principal arterials generally
comprise 5-10 percent of the urban system.
Minor Arterial– Minor arterials collect and distribute traffic from principal arterials to
lesser-classified streets, or allow for traffic to directly access their destination. In urban
areas, they serve secondary traffic generators such as community business centers,
neighborhood shopping centers, multiple residence areas, and traffic from
neighborhood to neighborhood within a community. Urban bus routes generally follow
these facilities. Access to land use activities is generally prohibited. Such facilities are
usually spaced under two miles apart in urban fringes and in core areas can be spaced
1/8 to 1/2 mile apart. .
Collectors (Urban) – Urban collectors provide for land access and traffic circulation
within residential neighborhoods and commercial and industrial areas. They distribute
traffic movements from such areas to the arterial system. Half-mile spacing is common
in more developed areas. Collectors do not handle long through trips and are not
continuous for any great length. They generally account for 5-10 percent of the total
street system.
Local Roads and Streets– All public roads and streets, not otherwise classified as an
arterial or collector, comprise the local access system. These roadways primarily serve
local needs for access to adjacent lands, travel over relatively short distances, and
connections to collectors or other higher systems. Local urban streets offer the lowest
level of mobility and usually contain no bus routes. Service to through traffic movement
is deliberately discouraged. Local streets usually account for 65-80 percent of the
urban system.
The table below lists the number of miles for each classification and the percentage of
the total miles within the East Wenatchee Urban Area for each classification. This

Public Transit
The Chelan-Douglas Public Transportation Benefit Area (PTBA), known as Link, is a
municipal corporation that began providing public transportation services in late 1991.
Link operates throughout Chelan County and most of Douglas County. The Greater East
Wenatchee Area is within Link’s service area. Currently, 18 routes provide service
connecting the region to the East Wenatchee area. Six routes operate directly in the East
Wenatchee area providing service to most areas hourly from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.,
Monday through Saturday. Link also provides ADA paratransit services to all areas within
¾ mile of Link’s fixed routed service, as well as vanpool and ridematch services. All Link
buses are equipped (seasonally) with bicycle racks allowing transit users to carry bicycles
on busses to complete travel trips.
Nonmotorized Transportation
Existing pedestrian facilities in the planning area consist of sidewalks and pedestrian
ways associated with roadways. Pedestrian facilities such as sidewalks are largely
concentrated in the urbanized areas primarily within the Central Business Core and within
newer residential subdivisions.
Designated bicycle routes are also located within the urban area, however they are not
clearly marked. Link administers the BikeLink program, which is designed to encourage
joint use of bicycle and transit facilities. Cyclists may mount their bicycles on racks on
the front of Link buses that operate on intercommunity routes.
Air Transportation
Air transportation is available to East Wenatchee Area residents at the nearby Pangborn
Memorial Airport. Pangborn Memorial Airport serves the counties of Chelan and Douglas,
and portions of Okanogan and Grant counties, with a service area extending north to the
Canadian border.
The airport master plan update, completed in 2004, forecasts that the airport is expected
to experience an increase in total based aircraft, annual air operations and annual
enplaned passengers, as well as an increase in turbine-powered aircraft throughout the 20
year20-year planning period. Annual enplanements are forecasted to double. Annual
operations, such as commercial, general aviation, and military are forecasted to increase
from 48,800 to 86,400 per year. AdditionallyAdditionally, the number of Instrument
Approaches is expected to increase from 709 to 1210 per year.
To accommodate the forecasted growth, improvements have been completed including a
new landing system to improve landing reliability and an increase in runway length to
accommodate changes to commercial and general aviation operations. The relocation of
Grant Road permits the airport to utilize its full-length runway.
Passenger Rail and Rail Freight Facilities
Passenger rail service is provided by AMTRAK. The train station is located on Kittitas
Street in downtown Wenatchee. AMTRAK provides passenger transit services to
destinations east and west. Eastern destinations are via the Montana/St. Paul line,
which ends in Chicago, Illinois.
Rail freight service for Wenatchee and the surrounding areas is provided 24 hours per
day by Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Rail Road (BNSFRR). The rail freight yard is

located between Columbia and Worthen Streets in downtown Wenatchee. Wenatchee
is on the BNRR mainline between Everett and Spokane, Washington and is also the
location of train crew shift changes. Approximately 20 trains pass through Wenatchee
daily. Not all trains stop to load and unload; the number of trains that stop depend, in
large part, upon service demand and the destination of goods. Cars are pulled daily for
loading of freight that includes lumber, wood chips, aluminum, and apples.
Rail lines run along the Columbia River and cross the river into Chelan County at Rock
Island.
TRANSPORTATION --- GOALS AND POLICIES
GOAL:
1. Provide a balanced transportation system that meets the needs of the
community by accommodating the movement of people, goods, and services
at an optimum level of safety, economy and efficiency.
2. To provide an effective transportation network with adequate capacity to
meet the adopted Level of Service (LOS) Standard and the travel demand for
the area.
3. Ensure adequate and safe access to property via a system of public and
private roads.
4. Ensure that adequate transportation systems are provided to support growth.
POLICIES
T-1 Allow major land use changes only when those proposals are consistent with the
transportation system plan.
T-2 Coordinate the planning, construction, and operation of transportation facilities
and programs with members of the Metropolitan Planning Organization as well
as local utility providers.
T-3 Develop and maintain a comprehensive transportation system plan, showing
roadway classifications, roadway extensions, future facility locations and right-of-
way needs.
T-4 Permanent cul-de-sacs shall only be permitted in situations where it can be
demonstrated that the design provides an acceptable level of network circulation
and the prohibition of cul-de-sacs creates an unreasonable economic burden.
T-5 Transportation facility connectivity may necessitate the continuation of road
systems to foster the long-range transportation objectives of the county and city.
As development occurs, require the extension of dead-end streets which improve
access and circulation.
T-6 As public and private development occurs, ensure that transportation systems
improvements have adequate streets, sidewalks and walkways; and are consistent
with the transportation and adopted system design.

network. Roadway standards should be based on the local classification
systems.
T-32 In consideration of their regional significance, arterial and collector road
classifications require connectivity to accommodate existing and future growth.
Examples include without exception:
•the Empire Avenue connection to the Cascade interchange,
•the 12th Street SE to Ward Avenue,
•and the future north south connector from the Airport industrial area to
SR2/97.

demonstrated in the “More Than a Trail” survey, it is vital to ensure connectivity
to the trail from the city and county road systems.
T-34 Development shall provide improvements adjacent to their development in
accordance with adopted design standards and approved traffic studies. Where
deficiencies are present, these issues would have to be addressed prior to
development occurring in order to protect the public’s health, safety and general
welfare consistent with the policies of the comprehensive plan, standard
engineering principals, and adopted standards. Improvements necessary to
maintain adopted levels of service shall be in place at the time of development,
or a financial commitment agreed to by the city or county and the applicant must
be in place to complete the improvements or strategies within six years.
T-35 Access to SR2/97 from the Baker Flats Industrial Urban Growth Area should be
limited to maintain adopted levels of service and a safe highway corridor while
providing efficient access points for industrial users with internal road networks.

provide appropriate accommodation for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and
persons of all abilities. Complete Streets principles will be incorporated into city
and county plans, rules, regulations and programs as appropriate.
T-37 Expansion of the UGA south or east of Canyon Hills subdivision must consider
removing the existing vehicular access from Badger Mountain Road to Sand
Canyon Road with a new access connecting to Wheatridge Drive. Additionally,
all internal roads within this area must be constructed in a manner that facilitates
extension and connection of the internal road to the south, ultimately connecting
to 10th St. NE between N. Lyle Avenue and N. Nile Avenue.
T-38 Expansion of the UGA to the east towards the Pangborn Memorial Airport along
the Grant Road corridor must incorporate development of an east-west and
north-south urban style roadway network to facilitate access and connectivity.

T-39 Proposed new circulation routes have been identified in the circulation plan. The
specific location of these routes may be altered by the city or county to
accomplish the intended circulation functions. As development occurs in the area
of the new proposed circulation corridors, development must proportionately
address transportation system impacts and improvements needed.
T-40 Encourage physical activity by providing alternative modes of transportation with
more pedestrian and bicycle friendly street standards.
T-41 Improve and maintain pedestrian connections between residential, employment,
commercial, educational, and recreation centers.

TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ANALYSIS
This section provides a summary of the transportation system analysis that was conducted
for the Transportation 2040 Plan written for the Chelan Douglas Transportation Council.
The Transportation 2040 Plan is the regional transportation plan. The plan was developed
to analyze the Wenatchee Valley Transportation System on a regional level, evaluate the
transportation needs, and identify regional priority projects to address the most critical
problems. The City of East Wenatchee and Douglas County are members of the Chelan
Douglas Transportation Council and work with the other members to realize this regional
transportation plan.
Level of Service (LOS)
LOS is a quantitative measure describing the roadway, transportation facility and transit
system’s ability to carry traffic.
Transportation 2040 establishes several performance measures and performance targets
for the regional transportation system. Any roadway or facility that does not meet the
standards is considered “deficient”. As noted below, these performance measures are
applied to federal aid roadways which include only collectors and arterials.

Roadway Condition
Transportation mobility is dependent on the condition of the system’s streets, bridges,
bicycle lanes, and sidewalks. The successful maintenance of existing public transportation
systems promotes mobility, safety, efficiency, and infrastructure preservation. Managing
and protecting public infrastructure investments can significantly reduce the need for new
and/or replacement of these facilities in the future.

Driving or Vehicle Mobility
Vehicle mobility is measure in the Level of Service (LOS) established at intersections as
well as corridor delay. LOS is a qualitative term describing the operating conditions a
driver will experience while driving on a particular street or highway during a specific time
interval. It ranges from LOS A (little or no delay) to LOS F (long delays, congestion).
The methods used to calculate the levels of service are described in the Highway Capacity
Manual. The measure of effectiveness for signalized intersections is control delay, which
is defined as the sum of the initial deceleration delay, queue move up delay, stopped delay
and final acceleration delay.
For unsignalized intersections, level of service is based on an estimate of average stopped
delay for each movement or approach group.
The table below describes the various levels.
LOS
Signalized Delay per Vehicle
(sec/veh)
Unsignalized Delay per Vehicle
(sec/veh)
A 0-10 0-10
B >10-20 >10-15
C >20-35 >15-25
D >35-55 >25-35
E >55-80 >35-50
F >80 >50
Transportation 2040 has adopted a standard of LOS E or better as acceptable at all
functionally classified intersections for East Wenatchee Urban Area. The map below
shows the intersections that are currently failing the LOS established for this area.

There are five failing intersections in the East Wenatchee Urban Area:
• Three are on Grant Road at SR 28, at Valley Mall Parkway/Rock Island Road, and
at Eastmont/Highline Drive,
• SR 28 at 19th St. NE, and
• SR 28 at the junction with HWY 2/97
Delay corridors include:
• SR 28,
• Baker Ave. between 15th St. NE and 23rd NE, and between 9th NE and 11th NE
• Eastmont Avenue between Grant Road and Badger Mountain Road
• Grant Road between Eastmont Avenue and James Avenue.
Non-Motorized Performance Measures
The non-motorized performance measures were developed to identify locations where
sidewalks and bicycle routes should be located according to the standards that all
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
Page 160 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 69 of 72
roadways classified as collectors or arterials should have sidewalks and all bicycle routes
identified on approved plans should be in place.
Walking
Transportation 2040 includes a “Walking” performance category for the regional street
system. Walking or Pedestrian Mobility and comfort is measured by the presence of
continuous sidewalks on both sides of the street.
A comprehensive inventory of sidewalk facilities on local access streets has not been
performed on an urban-wide basis. Policies in the Housing Chapter and Transportation
Chapter of the comprehensive plan indicate that such a project should be initiated to
develop a sidewalk capital improvement program.
The map below shows the areas that meet the performance standard and those that do
not.

Bicycling
The Wenatchee Valley Transportation Council adopted the Greater Wenatchee Bicycle
Master Plan on May 9, 2013. That document is adopted by reference to supplement this
chapter of the comprehensive plan. Transportation 2040 includes a “Cycling” performance
category for the regional street system. The performance measure in this category include
the presence of bikeway facilities consistent with the Bicycle Master Plan. As bike lane
strategies and designs evolve, alternatives to the conventional one-way bike have
developed. The Bicycle Master Plan includes an assortment of recommendations for
bicycle facilities.
The city and county regularly evaluate the provision of bicycle lanes during the design of
all public streets.
Transportation System Management
Transportation System Management is applied to a wide range of transportation system
improvements that have low or no capital cost but address impediments to efficient
operation of the transportation system. Transportation system management measures
include:
• Access Management
• Sub-Area Planning
• Integrating Multimodal Transportation and Land Use
• Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
Demand Management
Most solutions to traffic congestion involve increasing system capacity. However, in
some cases, reducing demand can relieve capacity shortfalls. Since capacity shortfalls
generally occur during peak morning and evening commute hours, management
strategies that focus on reducing trips can be particularly effective. Strategies include;
car/vanpooling programs, variable work hours, telecommuting, incentives for transit use,
bicycling and walking. If transportation demand management strategies such as these
can be expanded, transportation system demand can be reduced.
Concurrency Management
The Growth Management Act defines a concurrency management system (CMS) as
follows:
“Local jurisdictions must adopt and enforce ordinances which prohibit development
approval if the development causes the level of service on a transportation facility to
decline below the standard adopted in the Transportation Element of the
Comprehensive Plan, unless transportation improvements or strategies to
accommodate the impacts of development are made concurrent with the
development.
Concurrent with development implies that public infrastructure improvements and
strategies that are required to service land development be in place, or financially
planned for, within six years of development use.”

Page 162 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 71 of 72
For the purposes of compliance with the Growth Management Act, “concurrency”
means that the transportation facilities needed to meet LOS will be in place within six
years of completion of the development that triggered the need for the improvements.
PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
State law requires that each city and county annually prepare and adopt a
comprehensive transportation improvement program (TIP) for six calendar years.
Communities planning under the Growth Management Act are required to show that the
transportation program is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The TIP is a
planning document for local agencies to identify projects and estimate the costs to help
the city and county develop a funding strategy to pay for the improvements. The TIP
lists the projects providing a brief description, potential funding sources, and a schedule
for the phases of the project from design through construction. The road projects are
listed in priority order.
Classification of streets, roads and highways in the State of Washington is based upon
guidelines prepared by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and administered
by the Washington State Department of Transportation. Federal funds can only be
spent on roads that are classified as principal arterial, minor arterial, or collector. All
other roads are classified as local access and other funding sources, typically local
revenue, must be used for those roads. Any road construction project that is to be
considered for federal funding or Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) funding must
be listed on the TIP. To be eligible for allocation of half-cent gas tax monies, projects
must be listed on the TIP.
Once adopted, the TIP must be sent to the Secretary of Transportation and to the
Chelan Douglas Transportation Council (CDTC). The CDTC is the metropolitan
transportation planning agency for the greater Wenatchee metropolitan area and is the
administrative agency for the North Central Regional Transportation Planning
Organization (NCRTPO). The CDTC develops a Regional TIP based upon the adopted
city and county TIPs. Eventually projects that are eligible reach the State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
The jurisdiction must hold at least one public hearing before final adoption of the six
year TIP by the City Council or County Commissioners.
Adoption by Reference. The following documents are adopted by this reference.
Douglas County and City of East Wenatchee Annual Six-Year Transportation
Improvement Programs. Since TIPs are reviewed and adopted on an annual basis,
the City and County TIPs are adopted by this reference into the Comprehensive Plan.
Although the TIP is technically part of the Capital Facilities Plan (CF Plan), GMA
requires that transportation be addressed through the Transportation Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. For a list of current projects, please see the most recently
adopted TIPs for the City and County.

annual amendments
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 to the Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive
Plan (GEWA Plan) in Chapter 3 Land Use, Chapter 4 Housing, and Chapter 8
Transportation. This is a joint project with Douglas County. The amendments are
part of the 2020 Annual Amendment Process.
B. Location: The proposal will be applicable to properties within the city limits and
in the unincorporated area within the urban growth area surrounding the city of
East Wenatchee in Douglas County, Washington.
II.PROPOSAL ANALYSIS
A. Background: The proposal under consideration is part of the annual amendment
process for the Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan. The Growth
Management Act allows jurisdictions to annually amend their comprehensive
plans. This proposal includes amendments proposed by the City and an
amendment proposed by a private individual that is supported by Douglas
County.
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. The state also
provided grant funds. To be eligible for grants, cities needed to select at least two
objectives listed in the bill. East Wenatchee selected the following actions that
relate to the comprehensive plan amendments under consideration:
•Authorize at least one duplex, triplex, or courtyard apartment on each
parcel in one or more zoning districts that permit single-family residences
Exhibit 2
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
Page 165 of 371
CPA 2020-01 2020 Annual Amendment
March 30, 2021
Page 2
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.
To support those actions, it is necessary to increase the density in the residential
land use designations in the comprehensive plan.
B. Comprehensive Plan: The Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan
was adopted on March 28, 2006 by the city of East Wenatchee and Douglas
County. The GEWA Plan has been amended several times, most recently in
2019. Exhibit A to this staff report is a strike-out version of the GEWA Plan
showing proposed amendments to three chapters. Proposed amendments
include text, tables, charts, and maps as summarized below:
1. Chapter 3 Land Use – Minor clarifications and correction of typographical
errors, increasing the residential densities for R-L from 8 dwelling units per
acre to 8-10 dwelling units per acre (DU/AC); R-M from 15 to 20 DU/AC
and R-H from 26 to 30 DU/AC.
2. Chapter 4 Housing – Updates to tables, increasing residential densities for
single-family from up to 8 DU/AC to 8-10 DU/AC; increasing residential
densities for multifamily from 15 to 30 DU/AC, correcting typographical
errors and updating text.
3. Chapter 8 Transportation – Correcting typographical errors and amending
policy T-30, including map Figure 8.2, to allow more access options to
connect to a portion of Eastmont Avenue between Badger Mountain Road
and the US 2/97 and SR 28.
Chapter 3 Land Use and Chapter 4 Housing: In addition to updating data and
tables, the proposed amendments to Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 are intended to
increase options for density in residential zoning districts to address the goals of
the state Legislature in E2SHB 1923. The following goals and policies in the
GEWA Plan support the proposal to increase densities:
Chapter 4 - Housing.
Goals
1. To provide for a sufficient number of safe, attractive and affordable
residences for people of all income levels.
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.
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.

CPA 2020-01 2020 Annual Amendment
March 30, 2021
Page 3
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-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.
Chapter 8 Transportation: In addition to minor typographical error correction, the
changes to Chapter 8 amends Policy T-30 to add additional options for access to
Eastmont Avenue between the intersection at Badger Mountain Road and the
intersection with Fancher Field Road.
Section D of Douglas County’s application for comprehensive plan amendments
includes 8 questions. Martin Davy, PE representing the Applicant (Warm Breeze,
Inc.) provided the following narrative responses:

B pertaining to Eastmont Avenue by removing a numeric limit on the
number of connections to Eastmont Avenue and revising language
pertaining to specific types of allowable connections to be consistent with
adopted road standards. This text amendment is necessary because the
numeric limit residing in the GEWA Comprehensive Plan supersedes
adopted road standards and does not provide for deviation.
Removal of the numeric limit accomplishes the following:
a. Places greater reliance on the referenced road standards and
engineering analysis for determination of appropriate locations and
number of connections for adjacent parcels, consistent with the County
Road Standards and City Code Title 12 purposes of providing minimum
standards for development.
b. Provides a foundation for more efficient and effective land use
development proposals for parcels subject to policy T-30 Item B,
consistent with GEWA Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element goals of
putting existing underutilized residential lands within the UGA to use (infill)
and towards allowable maximum density per acre (prevention of
underutilized land).
c. Is more consistent with GEWA Comprehensive Plan Housing Element
Policy H-1 regarding urban densities within the UGA and H-21 pertaining
to target net densities.
On the contrary, retention of the numeric limit will limit the development
potential of parcels subject to policy T-30 Item B.
Requirements for consistency with adopted road standards already exists
within the subject policy the GEWA Comprehensive Plan and County and
City codes.
Questions 4-7 were marked as “Not Applicable”
8. Are public facilities, infrastructure and transportation systems
present to serve the intended amendment or have provisions been
made in accordance with the DCC to provide the necessary
facilities?
Yes. Eastmont Avenue is a major public road with a County functional
classification as an urban arterial and a Federal functional classification as
a minor arterial.
A planning level sight distance analysis completed for the subject parcels
at a design speed of fifty (50) miles per hour (mph) demonstrates that
more than two connections can be safely constructed, with the final
number dependent on ultimate development proposal configuration. The

limiting sight distance factor is the intersection sight distance Case B1:
Left Turn from the Minor Road – Stopped Condition.
The existing fifty-foot wide road section (measured face of curb to face of
curb) along the frontage of the properties, impacted by the proposed text
amendment, may be restriped at proposed connections to match that of
the intersection with Baker Avenue. The current single median and two
through lane configuration (Eastmont Extension As-Builts Section 5) may
be revised to a dedicated southbound left turn lane, northbound right turn
pocket and two through lane configuration. Provision of dedicated left turn
lane(s) and/or right turn pocket(s) prevents impact to the through
movement’s capacity and related level of service.
Utilities are proximate to the subject parcels, and extensions of and/or
connections to utilities will be subject to customary requirements of the
purveyors at the time of development or subdivision application, consistent
with GEWA Comprehensive Plan Low Residential policy regarding urban
governmental services and infrastructure.
The application has been included as Exhibit B. Exhibit C includes a letter from
Mike Neer, PE with Douglas County. Exhibit D includes a subsequent letter from
Martin Davy, PE, the Applicant.
Policy T-30 was created by the County as a measure to limit the access to
Eastmont Avenue. On the east side of the street, access was limited to two
private roads built to collector or local access street standards. No driveways
were permitted. The proposed amendment allows joint use driveways in addition
to private streets. Most of the standards in the original policy remain including the
requirement that the design must minimize connections to Eastmont Avenue and
consider access to adjoining parcels. A spacing provision was added to section B
by Douglas County staff:
The spacing between any connections to Eastmont Avenue shall meet
sight distance requirements and be no closer than 555 linear feet. Left turn
lane channelization or right-in right-out access restrictions shall be
installed on Eastmont Avenue for any connection to reduce disruptions to
the mainline traffic flow.
This policy was established by Douglas County and there is concurrence with the
amended language.
C. Countywide Planning Policies. The Growth Management Act (GMA) is
structured in a way that not only encourages but also requires local governments
to work together to address common issues. Coordination and consistency
among the different jurisdictions’ comprehensive plans and development
regulations are required components. One of the first tasks required by the GMA
was for counties to work with their cities to establish countywide planning policies
as a framework of policies to direct the development and amendment of
comprehensive plans.

CHAPTER 3
LAND USE
INTRODUCTION
The Land Use Element is the Greater East Wenatchee Area’s 20-year vision for land
use. This element generally describes the existing conditions regarding urban land use
in the study area. Urban lands are those lands located within the East Wenatchee
Urban Growth Area (UGA). These lands have growth patterns that have or will have an
intensive use of the land for uses and buildings that are incompatible with rural or
resource uses.
This element will take the conclusions and recommendations reached in other chapters
and synthesize them into a land use map for the study area. While the Land Use
Element builds upon the existing land use pattern and presence of natural features, it
also sets forth some changes in the way land use development should occur in the
future.
WASHINGTON STATE GOALS AND MANDATES
RCW 36.70A.070
Each comprehensive plan shall include a plan, scheme, or design for each of the
following:
(1) A land use element designating the proposed general distribution and general
location and extent of the uses of land, where appropriate, for agriculture, timber
production, housing, commerce, industry, recreation, open spaces, general aviation
airports, public utilities, public facilities, and other land uses. The land use element shall
include population densities, building intensities, and estimates of future population
growth.
POPULATION
The Growth Management Act requires counties to adopt a 20-year population projection
from a projection range provided by the Office of Financial Management (OFM) for
planning purposes. (See Table 3.2 for the current OFM projections for Douglas
County.) This population projection is the basis upon which comprehensive plans are
developed. The Act also requires that plans focus the majority of the population growth
within the urban growth areas where services and public facilities can be provided more
efficiently. The boundary of the UGA is directly related to the projection of population
assigned by the county for each UGA.
Historical trends
The population of Douglas County has grown from a population of 4,926 persons in
1900 to 38,431 in 2010. The decade with the largest population growth was from 1990
to 2000 with an increase of 6,398 persons. The growth between 2000 and 2010 slowed
to 5,828 persons.

Table 3.3 County and East Wenatchee UGA Population Projection
Observations
• In the past 40 years, the population of the East Wenatchee urban area in
relation to the overall County population has increased during each decade.
In 1990 the East Wenatchee UGA was 63.5% of the county population. In
2000 it increased to 65.3% and in 2010 it increased to 68.23%.
Population projection
The ability to anticipate population change and allocate it to smaller geographic areas is
an important planning tool for the development of the Greater East Wenatchee Area
UGA. Population projections help to plan for the impacts of growth and its demands on
facilities and services such as roads, sewers, schools, water systems, fire stations, and
power and other utilities.
The majority of the county’s population growth is required, by GMA, to occur within the
designated urban growth areas. The percentage that was approved by the Douglas

County Regional Council in 2012 was an allocation of 82% of the growth to the 5 UGA’s
and 18% of the growth to the rural area.
Table 3.3 shows the projected population growth for the East Wenatchee Urban Growth
Area. The year 2010 number is the actual population from the 2010 U.S. Census. The
population projections indicate that the East Wenatchee UGA will need to accommodate
an additional 9,954 persons.
UGA RESIDENTIAL LAND CAPACITY ANALYSIS
In 2013, the County and the City performed a residential land capacity analysis to
determine whether the existing urban growth area could accommodate the population
projection.
This land capacity analysis was developed using available information and
reasonable methodology and assumptions. The analysis of the data and
resulting land capacity determination depended upon certain assumptions.
Methodology
Land Use Analysis - The first step of the process involved an extensive analysis of
existing land uses to determine the available vacant land within the residential land use
designations:
• All vacant residential lots were identified – if the parcel was between 4,000 sq. ft.
and 1.5 acres in size and had no structure value - it was considered vacant.
• All other vacant residential property was identified.
• All underutilized residential lands were identified. If a parcel was between 1.5
acres and 5 acres and had one dwelling – 1 acre was taken off for the existing
home and the remainder of the parcel was considered vacant. Lots where the
structures occupied a larger than normal area or the remainder was less than ½
acre, up to 2 acres were taken off for the existing home.
• All properties owned by a utility, government entity or a quasi-public entity were
deleted from the residential vacant land inventory.
• All critical areas were deleted from the vacant land inventory.
• The Mixed-Use and Waterfront Mixed-Use land use designations allow
residential and commercial land uses. Due to the unknown variables of the
Mixed-Use and Waterfront Mixed-Use, a residential capacity of those lands was
estimated to be 50% for commercial and 50% for residential land uses.
Housing Unit Projection - To determine the number of housing units and other land
uses that should be provided to serve the projected population; the first step is to
convert the population projection to a housing unit need. That conversion can be
accomplished by looking at the historic household count and then applying a vacancy
factor since a “household” is an occupied housing unit. Since many factors can
influence the vacancy rate in a community, another method is to simply divide the
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
Page 179 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 7 of 72
number of persons by the total number of housing units to obtain a “persons per
housing unit” rate. This is a simpler approach that accounts for vacancies and other
influencing factors. Over the past 20 years, there has been a decline in the number of
persons per housing unit. This is particularly true in urban areas. An average of 2.57
persons per housing unit was used for the land capacity analysis.
Projection of Land for Other Uses – Increasing the size of the UGA to accommodate
the projected residential land use needs also requires a corresponding increase to the
total land area to accommodate commercial and industrial land uses. The same ratio of
area per land use was assumed based upon the previously adopted land use
distribution. (See Table 3.8 for the ratio of the various land use categories.)
Factors/Assumptions Land Capacity Analysis
• A factor of 2.57 persons per housing unit was used based upon historic trends.
• The target percentages of 83% for single family dwellings and 17% for multi-
family dwellings was based on historic census information for the East
Wenatchee UGA.
• The residential low density land use category allows up to 8 dwelling units per
acre. The medium density multi-family designation allows up to 15 dwelling units
per acre and the high density multi-family designation allows up to 24 dwelling
units per acre. Since achieving those densities depends upon many factors, this
analysis uses a lesser assumed density. The assumed average density of 4
dwelling units per acre was used for single family housing units and 12 dwelling
units per acre was used for multi-family housing units. These factors were
agreed upon by the East Wenatchee Planning Commission and the Douglas
County Regional Planning Commission in August 2003. These assumed
densities are net densities since an additional factor accounts for land needed for
roads, public or non-residential uses, and utilities.
• Land for public purposes includes future roads, utility corridors, parks and other
non-residential land uses. A Roads and Public Uses factor of 25% was added to
the land needs.
• A market factor of 25% was added to the land needs to account for land that for
some reason will not be available for development during the planning period.
The 25% figure was agreed upon by the East Wenatchee Planning Commission
and the Douglas County Regional Planning Commission in August 2003.
• Maintain the ratio of commercial and industrial lands within the UGA. It should
be noted that the open space, recreational, and other public and quasi-public
land uses are permitted within the various land use designations and have not
been designated specifically for a particular parcel of land.

brings the percentage down to 86%. The target ratio of single family to multi-family is 83%
single family and 17% multi-family. This requires an increase in the multi-family designation
to offset the addition to the single family designation to achieve this target ratio. This is an
important factor since single family homes are permitted in the multi-family designation but
multi-family is not permitted in the single family designation.

LAND USE DESIGNATIONS WITHIN THE URBAN GROWTH AREA
Table 3.8 Acreage by Designation
RESIDENTIAL
The quality and integrity of residential neighborhoods defines the character of the
community. Ensuring that these neighborhoods remain stable and vital is of primary
importance. To meet the goals of the Growth Management Act, the Land Use Plan, and
the Housing Plan, several residential land use density types have been established.
Low Residential
It is envisioned that this designation would permit a range of housing options and densities
to provide areas desirable for single-family residential use. The primary and preferred land
use is residential. The use of innovative housing techniques such as attached single
family, zero-lot line housing, averaging lots sizes, and other alternates should be
encouraged infilling and variety of housing types and densities. In order for these
techniques to be used in a manner that protects the integrity of the surrounding properties,
there must be mechanisms to ensure neighborhood compatibility and good design quality.
Urban governmental services and infrastructure must be available at the time of
development or there must be a plan in place, with funding, to insureensure that a full
range of urban governmental services is available to serve the development within the
planning period. To ensure that land development patterns provide urban densities,
mechanisms such as minimum densities, maximum setbacks, and other regulatory tools
may be necessary in areas where these urban services are planned for but are not yet
available.
Residential densities allowed in the low residential land use category should be up to 8
dwelling units per acre or up to 10 dwelling units per acre if developed adjacent to

commercial or mixed uses designations or as part of an infill project. Future development
within the UGA is expected to attain a target average density of at least 4 dwelling units
per acre.
Medium Residential
The Medium Residential designation is intended to provide areas suitable and desirable
for residential use accommodating multi-family and medium density single-family
opportunities. Mixed residential and professional office or residential and retail can also be
accommodated in this district adjacent to commercial designations.
Urban governmental services and infrastructure must be available at the time of
development or there must be a plan in place, with funding, to insureensure that a full
range of urban governmental services is available to serve the development.
Multi-family designations should be applied in areas along existing or planned
arterial/collector transportation corridors, or areas in proximity or within walking distance of
commercial nodes. The multi-family designation may provide a transition from low density
residential to higher intensity residential and commercial uses. Multi-family areas should
be accompanied by open spaces, and transit linkage in order to make these densities
viable and compatible with the community.
Design standards should be applied during the development phase of the projects to
ensure that multi-family development is compatible with existing and surrounding
neighborhoods.
Residential densities allowed in the medium residential land use category should be up to
15 20 dwelling units per acre with a target density of at least 12 dwelling units per acre.
Residential High/Office
The Residential High/Office designation is a land use category that would allow a range of
housing choices and a limited range of office style commercial opportunities for low
intensity personal and professional services. This district is a transition designation
providing a buffer between lower density land uses and higher intensity uses such as
between residential and commercial uses or areas along major transportation routes
where the intensity of activities on adjacent land make it less attractive for low density
residential uses.
Urban governmental services and infrastructure must be available at the time of
development or there must be a plan in place, with funding, to insureensure that a full
range of urban governmental services is available to serve the development.
The Residential High/Office designation should be applied in areas along existing or
planned arterial/collector transportation corridors and areas adjacent to commercial nodes.
Development of this land use type should adhere to design standards to achieve
compatible scale and design to enhance the livability and appearance of the community.
These projects should be configured to be transit-oriented, pedestrian friendly, and provide
affordable housing. This land use designation is also intended to provide a location for low
intensity office space.

Page 184 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 12 of 72
Residential densities allowed in the Residential High/Office land use category should be
up to 24 30 dwelling units per acre with a target density of at least 8 12 dwelling units per
acre.
COMMERCIAL
The commercial center of a community serves as the major economic and employment
sector. Commercial properties provide goods and services to the community to satisfy
the needs of existing and future residents and visitors. These commercial centers
provide revenue to the community in taxes collected on goods and services, increased
property values, as well as wages.
In preparing for updates to the comprehensive plan, the planning commissions from the
city and county used an active citizen involvement process with a visioning process and
neighborhood meetings.
The Community Vision project completed in 2002 resulted in the development of a
community vision statement providing direction for planning in the Greater East
Wenatchee area as well as the remainder of Douglas County. Some of the components
of that vision are particularly relevant to the discussion of commercial land uses. The
Community Vision stressed:
• Growth in employment and living wage jobs
• Encouraging tourism and recreation opportunities
• Recognizing East Wenatchee as the urban center of the Greater East
Wenatchee Area
• Improving transportation systems including pedestrian facilities to better serve
commercial areas
• Providing street trees and creating “gateways” to the community.
In 2004, the city and county planning commissions participated in a series of
neighborhood planning meetings with residents and property owners in the Greater East
Wenatchee Urban Area. The purpose of that series of meetings was to find out what
the residents wanted to see in their neighborhoods and the community in the next 20
years. Many consistent comments were received regarding commercial properties
including:
• More attractive commercial areas, more landscaping
• Development of the riverfront with hotels, restaurants, and a marina
• Limiting big box stores
• More neighborhood commercial areas such as mini marts to serve residential
areas
• Better commercial planning – more defined commercial areas
• Expansion of the commercial areas
Based upon the Vision, the comprehensive plan should ensure that commercial
properties are developed with quality designs that reflect the vision of the community

and in a manner that is compatible with surrounding residential and commercial land
uses. The goals and policies in this chapter address the community’s vision for these
commercial areas.
DESIGNATED COMMERCIAL AREAS
Revisions adopted in the 2005 comprehensive plan amendment process resulted in the
city and county adopting the same commercial land use designations and the same
development regulations for properties within the UGA.
The intent of the commercial designations varies in type and intensity in order to
achieve the overall community vision. All of these designations should be sited
according to the goals, policies and design criteria set forth in this section.
The expansion of the UGA must provide additional locations for commercial
development. Several areas were identified as being feasible for commercial
development. Existing commercial land use options may not be suitable for these new
areas due to existing neighboring land uses and other factors. Additional commercial
land use options will be explored by the city and county to better meet the needs of the
community and these expansion areas.
Table 3.8 provides the area calculations for the existing commercial designations. Since
the Mixed Use designations stress a strong residential component, it is anticipated that
they will contribute to the commercial and residential land base.
Central Business District (CBD)
The Central Business District generally follows a north to south direction as it follows
Valley Mall Parkway and a west to east direction as it follows Grant Road. To ensure
commercial development is compatible with surrounding uses and the general character
of the community, design criteria has been developed that promotes street trees along
major corridors, and stresses architectural and landscaping design to create pleasant
and attractive developments. New development should be designed to be transit
oriented, pedestrian friendly, and provide open spaces.
Within the CBD there are existing land uses that are not permitted under the existing
zoning regulations for that district. The CBD designation should be analyzed
periodically during the development of the zoning districts regulations to determine the
appropriate land uses for various locations. In the future, it may be appropriate to
separate this district into smaller sub-districts to better address the particular land uses
that currently exist and to insureensure that existing and proposed land uses are
compatible. This analysis should also evaluate the infrastructure existing and planned
for those areas with regards to the needs of the particular land uses.
General Commercial (GC)
The General Commercial designation permits a greater range of commercial uses than
those allowed in the CBD designation. Additional uses may include mini-storage, light
warehousing, or other non-retail uses in addition to a full range of retail uses. The intent of
this designation is to allow commercial uses that will create varied job opportunities and
provide services to the community that are not strictly retail in nature.
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
Page 186 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 14 of 72
Although pedestrian access is stressed throughout this plan, the general commercial
designation is expected to be more automobile oriented than the CBD designation.
Design criteria for commercial and industrial land development in this designation should
be similar to the CBD but with less reliance on pedestrian access.
Neighborhood Commercial (NC)
The purpose of the Neighborhood Commercial designation is to provide convenient
commercial facilities for those residential areas that do not have easy access to the
Central Business District. This commercial designation is intended to form at nodes as
neighborhood retail and activity centers that provide a contrast to the typical linear
orientation of commercial strips. These commercial centers are focal points for the
neighborhood with low-intensity, small-scale retail sales and services that cater to the
surrounding neighborhood. There should also be provisions for residential uses. These
neighborhood centers are best located in areas where there is a residential
neighborhood within walking distance for the residents.
These districts have regulatory provisions for site size, building height, and bulk of
structures to insureensure that they are neighborhood oriented. Standards also include
landscaping and buffering methods to protect and preserve the residential character of
adjacent homes and apartments. Facilities must be provided for bicyclists, pedestrians,
and vehicular access. There should also be transit access considerations, where
possible. The following guidelines must be used when considering a site for
Neighborhood Commercial designation.
a) Site size should be no larger than 5 acres, excluding right-or-way, and
situated to have minimal impact on surrounding residential areas;
b) Sites should be located in residential areas that are at least one mile from the
Central Business District or General Commercial designation and one half
mile from any other site designated Neighborhood Commercial;
c) These sites will be located on either a collector or arterial street and oriented
to face that street. However, access to the site may be from a local access
street if sight distance or traffic impacts warrant it;
d) Structures should generally be designed at a pedestrian-scale (two stories or
less) and promote pedestrian activity while providing facilities for local
automobile traffic;
e) 100% of the total gross floor area of the ground floor of all structures must be
used for commercial purposes, residences may be permitted on the upper
stories, and
f) Shared parking between adjacent uses will be by written agreement. Parking
will be designed and located so as to enhance pedestrian activity.
There are four Neighborhood Commercial sites designated within the UGA. A 2.7 acre
area site is located on State Route 28 north of 33rd St. NW. A 2 acre site is located at
the intersection of Kentucky Ave. and Grant Rd. A 2.7 acre site located at the
intersection of Fancher Field Road and Gun Club Road. A 1.57 acre site at the
intersection of Sunset Highway and 29th Street NW.

Commercial Low Density (C-L)
The UGA expansion in 2015 presented an opportunity to establish additional commercial
land designations to provide greater flexibility for those areas. The GMA stresses
providing livable, walkable communities both to increase the activity level of residents and
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by providing commercial centers in close proximity to
residential areas. With the exception of the Neighborhood Commercial and Mixed-Use
designations, the existing commercial land use districts are more automobile oriented. A
new low density or limited intensity commercial designation was developed for use within
the expansion of the urban growth area and for potential use within the existing UGA.
New commercial development within the UGA along Grant Road at Nile Ave was
established. The City and County’s 2013 work to study the UGA expansion characterized
this area as being designed to be integral to the residential character of the surrounding
area, constructed alongside a mixed-use and multi-family development concept to provide
a transition to surrounding single family neighborhoods.
The Grant Rd/Nile Ave commercial district comprises approximately 70 acres and is
intended to mature into a community-serving commercial and mixed-use district, serving
the needs of the immediate neighborhood and the entire community. This designation is
applied in the hope that it will stimulate more intense residential and mixed-use
development adjacent to it, creating a dynamic and walkable urban environment that is
robust and convenient to residents of eastern East Wenatchee.
Mixed-Use
To increase the variety of development opportunities, two types of mixed-use commercial
areas have been designated. The Waterfront Mixed Use designation takes advantage of
the proximity to the Columbia River, and the General Mixed-Use designation is located on
upland areas that do not have specific shoreline influences. These mixed-use
designations allow a mixture of uses including moderate density residential, recreational,
and commercial activities where people can enjoy shopping, working, and living in the
same area. People appreciate variety in housing, shopping, recreation, transportation,
and employment. This type of compact development can reduce traffic congestion and
benefit public health by promoting a pedestrian atmosphere, enhancing the general
viability of the community. Integrating different land uses and varied building types with a
strong residential component is intended to create a vibrant and diverse community as an
alternative to the traditional “9 to 5” commercial zones where activities are centered on the
workplace.
Mixed uses at a smaller scale may also be permitted in commercial and multifamily
residential designations, making a transition between commercial and single-family uses
or providing for a retail street edge along the community’s arterials.
The following guiding principles should be used when designating the Mixed-Use areas
and implementing them through the adoption of development regulations:
a) Development should be by master plan to ensure an integrated design.
b) Allow for select commercial uses, recreation, and residential development in a
way that serves the needs of the neighborhood and the community.

Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 16 of 72
c) Residential uses are encouraged to be integrated as a component in all
development projects and should target a density of 15 dwelling units per acre.
Single-family detached dwelling styles are discouraged.
d) Encourage a variety of housing options within this designation including
residences above commercial uses.
e) Provide for a type, configuration, and density of development that will entice
pedestrian shoppers to frequent the area, encourage pedestrian traffic between
businesses, provide access to transit, and stress less reliance on motor vehicles.
f) The mixed use designation is not intended for automobile oriented or businesses
that rely on outdoor storage or display of merchandise.
g) InsureEnsure compatibility of mixed use developments with the surrounding
properties, minimize any off-site impacts associated with development with
requirements for buffering, landscaping, compatible scale and design to ensure that
proposed projects enhance the livability of the proposal and integrate with existing
residences in this designation.
h) Multiple buildings on a single site should be designed to create a strong visual
relationship between or among the buildings.
i) Development should take into account the relationship of adjacent buildings in
terms of height, materials, scale, and architecture. The goal is to achieve attractive
structures and preserve significant views.
j) Promote design which will increase opportunities for activities both within the
project boundaries and between existing adjacent developments and
neighborhoods.
k) Relate the size, character, and siting of proposed buildings to create a design that
requires businesses or other activities to front a central or common court or plaza at
ground level to provide a human scale to the development. Avoid siting parking
areas along street frontages and within shoreline areas.
l) Encourage the design of multi-use facilities to accommodate retail and other
commercial uses at the pedestrian level.
m) To facilitate development of commercial uses in conjunction with residential, all
development should provide at least 50% of the gross floor area of the ground floor
for commercial purposes.
n) Buildings should be designed and located to complement and preserve existing
buildings, streets and paths, bridges, and other elements of the built environment.
Particular care should be given to building materials (color and texture), setbacks,
building heights and roof lines, and overall proportions.
o) The mixed-use designation should be established in locations where an orientation
to walkable communities is desired.

General Mixed Use
The designation of General Mixed-Use was originally designed for a 60-acre area
located across from the Kirby Billingsley Hydro Park between SR 28 and Rock Island
Road from S. Jarvis to Lyle Avenue. This designation was anticipated to develop into a
mixture of residential and commercial land uses to provide an integrated community that
would attract a variety of business activities and residential styles.
The expansion of the UGA provided a great opportunity to expand this type of
designation to allow the development of commercial and recreational facilities to serve
the urbanizing area in the 10th Street NE corridor. A new general mixed-use designation
was applied to 88 acres of a larger site north of 10th Street NE between Kentucky
Avenue and the alignment of Nevada Avenue.
The City and County utilized the assistance of a design architect during the development
of the original designation and criteria for the mixed-use areas near Kirby Billingsley Hydro
Park and the Waterfront Mixed-Use area. To implement the mixed-use concept in
different locations, the City and County used the following criteria:
a) Building heights in relation to the airport protection areas;
b) Increased sound insulation for properties within the airport noise control area;
c) Design for an integrated transportation network to insureensure that the carrying
capacity and efficiency of major freight and mobility routes are not adversely
impacted;
d) Ensure that transportation system plans provide for pedestrian and public
transportation options;
e) Develop strategies to insureensure that adjacent low-density development is
provided with adequate buffers and screening to preserve their neighborhood
character,
f) Provide for a variety of land uses to establish a mixed-use pattern that enhances
the existing character of the surrounding area.
g) This designation should be provided to properties of sufficient size to
accommodate the mixture of uses and the master plan approach to development.
It is recommended that these sites be a minimum of 10 acres in size.
h) Urban governmental services and infrastructure must be available at the time of
development or there must be a plan in place, with funding, to insureensure that a
full range of urban governmental services is available to serve the development.
Waterfront Mixed-Use
This designation is intended to take advantage of the shoreline area that makes up the
western boundary of the East Wenatchee Urban Area. This designation is intended to
provide a mixture of residential, recreational, and commercial land use opportunities that
can enhance the shoreline area and would benefit from access to the Apple Capital Loop
Trail. Although much of the shoreline in this designation is currently publicly owned, this
area could develop water-related and water-dependent uses such as marinas and water
parks.
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
Page 190 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 18 of 72
Five areas are designated for Waterfront Mixed Use:
• Between SR 28 and the Columbia River north and south of the Odabashian Bridge
• Between 14th St. NW and 19th Street NW from SR 28 to the Columbia River
• Between NW Cascade Avenue and the Columbia River south of Bellevue St. SW
• Between SR 28 and the Columbia River south of the George Sellar Bridge
• At the intersection of NW Empire Avenue and 27th Street NW.
In addition to the general principles outlined above, the following guiding principles should
be used when designating the Waterfront Mixed-Use designation and implementing that
designation with the adoption of development regulations:
a) Allow for select commercial uses and residential development in a way that
serves the needs of the neighborhood and the community and enhances the
appearance of the shoreline;
b) Developments in this designation should be designed to take advantage of site
conditions and shoreline views;
c) Visual and physical access to the waterfront, for residents of developments and
general public should be incorporated as a design feature in developments within
this land use designation;
d) Due to the proximity of the shoreline and existing residential buildings, structures in
this designation should be smaller in scale (height and footprint) than those allowed
in other commercial designations;
e) Allow recreational uses that complement water-related and water-dependent uses
such as marinas and water parks.
Adoption by Reference. Shoreline Master Program - Douglas County and the City of
East Wenatchee, under the authority of the Shoreline Management Act of 1971, as
amended, adopted a Shoreline Master Program in 2009 and 2010, respectively. The
Douglas County Regional Shoreline Master Program serves as a guide for the use and
development of the shoreline under the statutory authority of the Shoreline Management
Act. In accordance with the Growth Management Act, Master Program goals and
policies are to be integrated and incorporated into local comprehensive plans. All goals
and policies of the Shoreline Master Program are hereby adopted and incorporated into
this Plan by this reference
The Master Program works in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan. By adopting
the goals and policies by reference, it is the city’s and county’s intent to integrate the
shoreline management planning process with its comprehensive plan without the need
to create a separate Shoreline Management Element.

COMMERCIAL --- GOALS AND POLICIES
GOALS:
1. Provide sufficient commercial land that is properly sited to take advantage
of existing utility and public service infrastructure and the transportation
network to ensure growth of the local business community.
2. Create commercial districts that are safe, attractive, pedestrian friendly,
and transit oriented.
3. Establish commercial areas that accommodate a variety of land use
activities to support a diverse and stable economic base while maintaining
the quality of life in the community and the natural environment.
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-1. Promote development of commercial activities in attractive nodes or clusters and
prohibit the linear expansion of commercial development.
C-2. Commercial development should provide well designed buffer areas to
insureensure that the land use is complimentary and compatible with adjacent
land uses.
C-3 Adopt consistent design standards for development in commercial districts to
insureensure 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-4 Adopt standards for commercial development adjacent to shorelines to ensure
that visual and physical access to the shorelines is preserved.
C-5 Commercial development proposals located adjacent to major arterials and
highways should incorporate shared access and parking to reduce the number of
driveways intersecting with these major transportation corridors. Develop access
management strategies for such development.
C-6 Establish sites for a mixed-use commercial classification where it is appropriate
to develop a mix of commercial, recreational, and residential land uses that can
co-exist.
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-8 Require interior and perimeter landscaping which will provide an attractive
entrance environment for commercial development, soften parking lots, provide
shade, and screen unsightly areas.
C-9 Designate neighborhood commercial districts which provide services to the
immediate neighborhoods and establish standards for these commercial areas to
insureensure that they are designed and developed in a manner that is
compatible with the surrounding residential areas.
C-10 Develop standards for off-street parking to insureensure that parking is adequate
for diverse commercial needs. Encourage public/private partnerships in the
provision of parking facilities.
C-11 Encourage and promote infill development and redevelopment efforts to revitalize
and support established commercial areas.
C-12 Design and create transportation systems which will improve the accessibility to
commercial establishments for pedestrians, and transit as well as automobile
travel.
C-13 Expand commercial uses adjacent to existing similarly developed areas.
C-14 Promote the extension of utilities, public facilities, and services to support
commercial areas. Foster interagency cooperation and coordination in the
extension and upgrading of infrastructure and facilities to support commercial
areas.
C-15 Development of commercial uses shall only occur if a full-range of urban services
is available to support the development.
C-16 If the property is located outside of the service district boundary of a utility,
annexation into the service district must occur prior to development of the
property.
C-17 Development of commercial uses within any of the protection zones identified in
conjunction with Pangborn Memorial Airport must consider the proximity to the
airport and will be required to comply with any height limitations, density
restrictions, and should consider additional sound insulation in consideration of
noise from the airport operations and overhead flights.
C-18 The City and County should conduct further studies of the mixed-use
classifications:
• To determine suitable designation locations and implementation
strategies for potential locations considering the unique attributes of the
property to insureensure that development of these properties enhances
the general character of the neighborhoods within which they are located
and the general community;
• To further refine the standards applicable to these classifications to
facilitate the development of these properties in compliance with the
purpose and intent of these districts

• To establish specific standards to guide and regulate smaller scale
mixed-use development in commercial and multi-family residential
designations.
C-19 The North Bridge Waterfront Mixed Use Area between SR28 and the Columbia
River north and south of the Odabashian Bridge shall be designated as a Master
Planned Development Overlay Zoning District and master planned developments
shall be encouraged. It is anticipated that Master Plans may be conceptual in
nature and may include alternative development scenarios, provided that:
a) Approved master plans may include land uses not otherwise permitted in
the General Commercial and the Waterfront Mixed Use zoning districts
such as higher density residential developments, professional offices,
and/or a regional hospital and medical facilities in a campus-like setting;
b) Approved Master Plan(s) and/or related Development Agreements may
specify development standards that do not conform to the requirements of
the underlying zoning district, including but not limited to: building height,
parking requirements, signage requirements, lot coverage, and setbacks;
c) Existing buffer requirements may be modified in order to provide greater
protection to neighboring property owners and to promote more
compatible land uses. This may include lower intensity development
proposals such as senior housing, assisted living, and/or professional
offices in a business park setting provided that there is a finding that
adequate standards have been established for building height, setbacks,
and landscaping to effectively buffer the neighboring residential properties;
d) The development scenarios must include provisions for the phased
implementation of private development plans and the required supporting
infrastructure.
It is the intent of these comprehensive plan policies to maximize the development
potential of vacant and underutilized property in the North Bridge Commercial
Area. This may include, but is not limited to:
a) Preparing an access management plan in consultation with WSDOT and
affected property owners to guide the design and construction of future
road improvements necessary to serve the North Bridge Commercial
Area;
b) Preparing and implementing, in consultation with the Douglas County
Sewer District and affected property owners, a strategy to extend sanitary
sewer service throughout the North Bridge Commercial Area;
c) Conducting an environmental review of proposed master plans in order to
identify potential adverse impacts and to develop appropriate mitigation
strategies that will facilitate the permitting of site specific development
proposals;

d) Acquiring surplus public property and/or securing long term public access
to the Columbia River;
e) Preparation of a financing strategy that provides for the timely construction
of public improvements necessary to serve new development in the North
Bridge Commercial Area and that equitably allocates the costs among
benefiting property owners;
f) Executing a development agreement to establish the development
standards to govern future development activities; and/or
g) The addition of parcels adjacent to this or other portions of the East
Wenatchee Urban Growth Area to offset the use of property within the
North Bridge Commercial Area for Essential Public Facilities.
C-20 The General Commercial area designated on the upper bench area, east of
Empire Street, west of State Route 28 (Sunset Highway) and north of 35th Street
NE is intended to develop as a master planned project.
a) A total of 80 acres is designated for this general commercial district. Along the
southern perimeter of the site a transition area would incorporate landscaping
and open space consistent with the North End Master Site (Subarea) Plan.
The purpose of the transition area is to buffer this commercial area from the
less intensive development surrounding the area.
b) Design features for the master plan for projects in this General Commercial
area would include landscaping, transition buffer, linkages to the trail system,
open space, design consistency between adjacent buildings, establishment of
an interior road network, and orientation of buildings for access from the
interior road system.
c) Direct access to the SR 28 by individual uses would be prohibited.
C-21 The City and County should establish additional commercial land use
designations that are not auto-dependent to provide for more flexibility for low
intensity commercial activities in closer proximity to residential areas where it is
appropriate to permit commercial uses on larger sites than would be permitted
under the Neighborhood Commercial designation.
C-22 Design and construction of development in or near shoreline areas must be
consistent with the Douglas County Regional Shoreline Master Program.
INDUSTRIAL
Like commercial lands, industrial lands within the Greater East Wenatchee Area are in
great need. There is a total of 570 acres allocated for industrial purposes inside the urban
growth area. The industrially designated land uses are currently not served by a full range
of urban services. Major water system improvements have been completed providing
domestic water and fire-flow to the industrial area. However, public sewer service is not
available to the area.

The Baker Flats Industrial area is located along SR2/97 and west of the Douglas County
115 KV Transmission Line. It exhibits some topographical changes, sloping from east to
west. The basalt cliffs serve as its eastern boundary. This site consists of some industrial
activities, orchards, and unimproved properties. This site makes an ideal location for
industrial activities due to its proximity to a major highway system, availability of domestic
water and location to service centers. In addition, the area is buffered on three sides by
topographical features. Factors considered ranged for the location of major orchards and
agricultural activities to the north (Bray's Landing, Bridgeport, Chelan, and the Okanogan
Valley), lack of appropriately zoned industrial properties and the need to preserve other
prime agricultural lands.
This site should be developed as an industrial park. Design features should include
provisions for perimeter landscaping with a buffer strip adjacent to SR 2/97 and other land
uses. The buffer strip consists of a berm measuring a minimum of 30 feet wide, 10 feet
high, and landscaped with trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Additionally, an interim 100-
foot buffer will be required adjacent to designated agricultural uses, incumbent upon the
industrial user. Access from SR 2/97 is limited with connection to interior roadways.
Ingress and egress along the designated industrial area is limited to the interior roadway
which connects to SR 28 in at a new roundabout that was constructed to improve access.
Special site plan approval is required for all uses to ensure proper linkages to the internal
road network, intersection improvement, extensions to existing roadways, adequate
parking, landscaping, protection of sensitive area, and continuity in overall project design.
INDUSTRIAL --- GOALS AND POLICIES
GOAL:
Promote industrial development which contributes to economic
diversification, growth and stability of the community without degrading its
natural systems or residential living environment.
POLICIES:
I-1 Encourage the continued development of light industries that are agriculturally related.

to major street arterials, preferably on lands not suited for residential uses or
agricultural uses.
I-3 Encourage variety and innovative design in industrial site development and
encourage an attractive and high-quality environment for industrial activities through
good landscaping, parking and building design where land uses of distinct character
or intensity adjoin.
I-4 Actively support economic development measures that serve to revitalize and
promote the growth of existing industrial locations.
I-5 Encourage air related industries and nonconflicting light industries in the Pangborn
Industrial Service Area.

I-7 Potential impacts on nearby properties and public facilities and services shall be
identified and mitigated when evaluating industrial development proposals.
PROPERTY RIGHTS – GOAL AND POLICIES
The following goal and policies recognize the importance of protecting property rights.
GOAL:
Protect property rights from arbitrary and discriminatory actions.
POLICIES:
PR-1 Ensure all proposed regulatory or administrative actions do not result in an
unconstitutional taking of private property, in accordance with RCW 36.70A.370.
PR-2 Procedures for avoiding takings, such as variances or exemptions, should be
maintained in the city and county regulatory scheme.
ESSENTIAL PUBLIC FACILITIES
The Growth Management Act requires that comprehensive plans include a process for
identifying and siting essential public facilities (EPF), as defined in RCW 36.70A.200(1).
Essential public facilities include facilities and uses which are usually considered
"difficult to site" such as, airports, state education facilities, state or regional
transportation facilities, state and local correction facilities, solid waste handling
facilities, in-patient facilities, mental health facilities and group homes. The Growth
Management Act also states that the siting of such essential facilities may not be
precluded from a comprehensive plan or development regulations. The State Office of
Financial Management maintains a list of essential state public facilities that are
required or are likely to be built within the next six years.
The Douglas County Regional Policy Plan includes policies that are guiding principles for
local comprehensive plans regarding processes for siting essential public facilities of
countywide or statewide significance. Policies and standards must assure that:
a) EPF are served by the full range of services necessary to support the use;
b) EPF located outside of an urban growth area must be self-contained or are
extended services in a manner that does not promote additional development or
premature conversion of lands to other uses;
c) State-mandated siting criteria be incorporated where applicable;
d) EPF are not located on resource lands or critical areas if incompatible.
DEFINITION: The definition of essential public facilities shall be consistent with the
Douglas County Regional Policy plan and include the following: airports, state education
facilities, state or regional transportation facilities, state and local correction facilities,
solid waste handling facilities, secure community transition facilities, and in-patient
facilities including substance abuse facilities, mental health facilities, group homes and
regional transit authority facilities.

Page 25 of 72
Essential Public Facilities goals, policies and process for their siting are set forth in
Chapter 11 of the Douglas County Countywide Comprehensive Plan and are adopted by
this reference for use in the Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan.
CAPITAL FACILITY PLANNING RELATIONSHIP TO LAND USE – GOAL
AND POLICY
In accordance with the Growth Management Act, the Land Use Chapter must be
coordinated with and consistent with the Capital Facilities Chapter. The purpose of the
Capital Facilities Chapter is to ensure that the planning for services and infrastructure
matches the demand for those facilities to serve the land uses that are projected to occur in
the urban area.
GOAL:
Coordinate land use planning and capital facility planning with a schedule
of capital improvements to meet adopted level of service standards
necessary to provide services and infrastructure to support development.
POLICIES:
1. As the development occurs, public facilities and services should be provided at
reasonable costs, in places and at levels commensurate with planned development
intensity and environmental protection, and built to be adequate to serve
development without decreasing current service levels below locally established
minimum standards
2. If the probable funding for capital improvements falls short of meeting the need for
facilities that are determined to be necessary for development, the city and county
must reassess the land use element and other elements of the comprehensive plan.
The analysis should be scheduled at six-year intervals and should determine if a
combination of existing and planned facilities that have secure funding are adequate
to maintain or exceed adopted level of service standards.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE MAP
The Land Use Map illustrates the intended future land use pattern in the Greater East
Wenatchee Urban Area. The map is the result of analysis of the previously discussed
growth and development concept, existing land use patterns, development trends and
desirable growth and development goals.

PANGBORN MEMORIAL AIRPORT
Pangborn Memorial Airport serves the counties of Chelan and Douglas, and portions of
Okanogan and Grant counties, with a service area extending north to the Canadian
border. The Airport provides both general aviation and commercial aviation service.
Pangborn is the Wenatchee Valley area’s gateway to the domestic and international
aviation system.
Formerly known as Pangborn Field, Pangborn Memorial Airport is dedicated to the
famous aviator, Clyde Pangborn, who landed at Fancher Field in 1931, to complete the
first nonstop transpacific flight. The Airport’s relationship to the national economy and
access to air transportation is essential for local residents and the local economy by
facilitating faster access to other regions and markets. Pangborn Memorial Airport is
designated as an Essential Public Facility.
In April 2004 the airport, in conjunction with the Port Districts of Chelan and Douglas
Counties, prepared an updated Airport Master Plan. This master plan identifies and
plans for the needs of the airport and air service operations for the next 20 years. As
the airport continues to grow in its importance to Douglas County and the region; it also
grows in its impacts to the surrounding lands. The airport is currently in the process of
updating their master plan.
The Master Plan recommended that the main runway (Runway 12/30), be extended to
improve safety and better serve the airport traffic. This improvement was completed in
2016, resulting in the current runway length of 7,000 feet. The Master Plan also
recommended the relocation of Grant Road. That road realignment has been
completed.
Pangborn Memorial Airport provides a critical link to the North Central Washington
Region, state and national transportation system. It provides for the efficient movement
of people, goods and services and serves as a commercial, cargo and general aviation
airport. The airport is classified as a primary commercial airport within the National Plan
of Integrated Airport Systems and as a commercial airport within the Washington State
Aviation System Plan.
Land Use Compatibility
Over the last several decades, airports within the state and across the nation have
faced increasing problems with the encroachment of incompatible development.
Incompatible development can impact the operating capability of the airport as well as
endanger the lives of people in the air and on the ground. As the airport continues to
grow in its importance to Douglas County and the region, steps need to be taken to
ensure that land use conflicts are minimized to the greatest extent possible.
The airport is located less than one mile from the East Wenatchee UGA boundary.
Existing land uses adjacent to the airport are predominantly large-lot agricultural with
industrial designated lands located to the north, south, and west of the airport. A small
part of the UGA is located within Compatibility Zone 3 for the secondary runway and the
FAR Part 77 Surface for both runways. The secondary runway is currently closed.
Regulations are in place to protect airport operations from incompatible land use.

To ensure that the function and value of the airport is maintained for future generations,
several tools have been identified. These tools should be used together with the Airport
Master Plan. Additionally, careful consideration should be given to topographical
constraints and the natural environment.
Height
To protect the operating airspace above and surrounding the airport, the State of
Washington adopted RCW 14.12 Airport Zoning, which gave local jurisdictions the
authority to regulate air space hazards. Air space hazards may endanger the lives and
property of users of the airport and of occupants of land in its vicinity. Obstructions may
also reduce the size of the area available for the landing, taking-off and maneuvering of
aircraft, thus tending to impair the utility of the airport and the public investment.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established Federal Aviation
Regulations (FAR) Parts 77 Imaginary Surfaces. Development activity that encroaches
into the Part 77 surfaces may pose a hazard to navigation and reduce the size of the
area available for landing, taking-off, and maneuvering of aircraft, thereby increasing the
potential for an accident. If development activity is allowed that does pose a hazard to
navigation, then airport operation will be adversely affected. Figure 1 shows the FAR
Parts 77 Imaginary Surfaces.
Safety
The Airport Compatibility Zones were developed using information sources
recommended by the WSDOT Aviation Division. The Airport Compatibility Zones do not
encroach into the urban growth boundary.

Noise is the single most significant “effect” from an airport and airport operations. The
best way to ensure compatibility is to reduce the number of people exposed to noise
generated by airport operations and to minimize the level of exposure.
Figure 2 identifies the noise contours that are expected by the planned level of airport
operations. In the areas most affected by noise, 65 dnl or higher, additional precautions
should be taken to minimize this impact.

PANGBORN MEMORIAL AIRPORT
The following goal and policies recognize airports as essential public facilities under the
Growth Management Act and are intended to preserve Pangborn Memorial Airport. The
airport is located outside the East Wenatchee urban growth boundary; however land
uses within the UGA have the potential to impact and are impacted by airport
operations. These policies ensure that the airport can change with the community to
meet the needs of the region.
GOAL:
Provide state and federal system airports with reasonable protection from
airspace obstructions, incompatible land uses and nuisance complaints
that could restrict operations.
POLICIES:
LU -1 Ensure that public or private development around existing airports allows the
continued use of that facility as an airport. Land within aircraft approach and
departure zones will be protected from inappropriate development.
LU -2 Preserve the right of airport owners and operators to continue present operations
and allow for future air transportation and airport facility needs. It is also
important to consider the present and future use of private property and the rights
of private property owners.
LU -3 Douglas County will notify the airport operator, state and federal aviation
agencies, at the time of initial application, of any proposed actions or projects,
which would lead to development near an airport that is not compatible with the
airport’s operations. The airport operator shall notify Douglas County, and
potentially affected citizens, of any proposed operational changes which would
have a significant impact on existing land uses.
LU -4 Land use proposals, structures, or objects that would interfere with the safe
operation of aircraft will be examined for compatibility as defined in CFR Title 14,
FAR Part 77 and FAA Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS) Chapter 12, and
WA 31. The objective is to permit land uses which allow safe aircraft operations
as defined in the documents referenced above.
LU -5 Enact overlay zoning to protect the airspace around state and federal system
airports from airspace obstructions and incompatible land uses within the
approach, transitional, horizontal and conical surface zones, where such areas
have been established by the FAA.

CHAPTER 4
HOUSING
INTRODUCTION
Every community desires to maintain the character and vitality of its established
neighborhoods. An important tool in maintaining the residential character of a
community is the adoption of a housing plan. The GMA requires a Housing Element as
part of every community’s Comprehensive Plan. The Housing Element is closely tied to
the Land Use Element. The Land Use Element designates the proposed general
distribution and location of the uses of land and one of the major uses of land is
housing.
A Housing Element’s purpose is to identify land areas that are suitable for housing. The
plan should contain policies regarding population densities, building intensities, and
future population growth, which shape the community growth and provide for all
economic segments of the population.
The Land Use Element of this plan provides for different types of housing, ranging from
low to high density. The Land Use Element policies encourage a mix of single family
and multi-family development, by providing a diversity of land use designations
throughout the planning area. A mix of housing is encouraged through planned
developments and through a variety of techniques, which would include provisions for
attached single-family units, duplex development, and smaller lot size developments.
This housing element provides some data that is specific to the East Wenatchee Urban
Area. Except where indicated, the remainder of the information and data provided is
based on the larger Wenatchee Market Area or Douglas County. The Greater East
Wenatchee Area does not operate as a market within itself and must be viewed in terms
of the entire Wenatchee Housing Market area.
HOUSING INVENTORY AND CONDITIONS
The most current data on housing comes from the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau. Some data
was collected for the UGA, however most of the data available is for specific places such
as cities, census designated places, counties, and states. Information on the value, sale
price, and rental rates is included in the Housing Affordability section of this chapter.
Table 4.1 lists the housing by type for Douglas County and the city of East Wenatchee for
2000 and 2010 and the total number of housing units for the UGA for the years 2000 and
2010.
• Single-family homes and manufactured homes make up 85% of the housing stock
in the county and 69% of the housing within the city.
• Multi-family housing includes all structures with 2 or more units. Multi-family
housing makes up 15% of the housing in Douglas County and 31% of the housing
in the city.

The percentage of multifamily housing types compared to single-family has been
decreasing. According to the 2010 Census, 15% of the housing units in Douglas County
and 31% of the housing units in East Wenatchee were in buildings with 2 or more units.
In 2018, that percentage decreased to 14% for Douglas County and 30% for East
Wenatchee.
The housing stock within the City tends to be older than in the County. As
demonstrated in Table 4.2, housing built before 1990 makes up 77% of the housing
stock in the City and 69% of the housing in Douglas Countyafter 2000 makes up 22% of
the Douglas County housing stock and only 17% of the City housing stock. By
comparison, 67% of the housing stock in the state was built before 1990.

The growth rate for housing units is slightly higher than the rate for the population
increase within the East Wenatchee UGA. The population of the UGA increased
between 2000 and 2010 by 23.6%. During that same period the number of housing
units increased by 24.6%. That same trend continued through 2012reversed between
2010 and 2020. The estimated population of the UGA increased between by 11% while
the number of housing units increased by 9%. (Source OFM Small Areas Calculations)
It should be noted that the vacancy rate also increased from 5% to 6% between 2000
and 2012. The East Wenatchee UGA had an lower vacancy rate than the City, County,
and the state (See Tables 4.3 and 4.4)

Households by Tenure
A “household” is an occupied housing unit. The City has a higher percentage or rental
housing than Douglas County, 39.640% compared to 28.130% for Douglas County.
That is typical of an urban area since multi-family housing is generally concentrated in
urban areas. The rate of renter occupied is still lower than the state average of 35.6%.It
should be noted that the percentages have increase slightly since the 2007-11 data for
Douglas County were rentals were 28%. The City stayed pretty much the same.

The Housing Authority of Chelan County and the City of Wenatchee owns and operates
several housing complexes in the UGA that provide housing for farm workers on a long-
term and short term basis. Their various properties within the City and the UGA provide
83 units of housing. In addition to the apartments that they own, the Housing Authority
operates the HUD Section 8 housing program that provides tenant-based, rental
assistance to eligible households residing in privately offered rentals.

housing complex in the city.
Senior Housing
There are a variety of options for seniors within the East Wenatchee UGA. Housing is
available that provide levels of care ranging from active seniors who are able to live
independently as well as for those that need more care and assistance. There are
several large complexes where seniors can move from a level of independent living to a
care unit within the same property as their needs change. There are also several
smaller assisted living facilities available in private homes.
Homeless and Other Special Needs Populations
Several group homes and homeless shelters also operate within the UGA. Those
facilities are distributed throughout the community. There are a variety of local agencies
that provide assistance to the homeless including homeless prevention programs.
Many of these activities assist the chronic homeless as well as veterans and other
persons with special needs.
• Community Action Council, Salvation Army, First United Methodist Church,
YWCA of Wenatchee, Women’s Resource Center, and Serve Wenatchee Valley
provide financial assistance (e.g. rent and mortgage assistance, and help with
rental deposits, security deposits, and utility deposits), bus tokens, laundry
vouchers, utility payments, and rental counseling.
• Hospitality House Ministries, Solomon’s Porch (youth), operate homeless
shelters and provide meals for persons living on the streets from their facilities in
Wenatchee.
• Lighthouse Christian Ministries operates a homeless shelter in East Wenatchee
and provide meals for persons living on the streets from their facility in
Wenatchee.
• The Chelan County Regional Justice Center operates a community recovery
program to assist recently released offenders with their transition back to the
community.
In 2005, the Washington State legislature adopted the Homelessness Housing and
Assistance Act (ESSB 2163) which established a fee on documents recorded by the
county auditor as a source of funds for local and state programs to address
homelessness. Local governments were required to prepare and enact a 10-year
Homeless Housing Strategic Plan with a minimum goal of reducing homelessness by 50
percent. The Bill authorized the County Auditor's Office to collect a recording fee and
allows a percentage of the funds to be applied locally to complete tasks and contribute
toward meeting the goals and objectives identified in the plan. According to the annual
homeless counts, the largest portion of the homeless population resides in the city of
Wenatchee. Also Mmost of the agencies providing resources and assistance to the
homeless are located in the city of Wenatchee.

After developing The Ten-Year Plan to Reduce Homelessness in Chelan and Douglas
Counties in 2005, In 2006, the city of East Wenatchee, Douglas County, Chelan County,
and the city of Wenatchee entered into an interlocal cooperation agreement authorizing
the city of Wenatchee to administer the funds collected in accordance with ESSB 2163
for all four jurisdictions. . A Homeless Housing Task Force, made up of local agency
representatives, meets periodically to update priorities for homeless services and
programs and reviews progress made on achieving objectives and activities identified in
the plan. The goals, objectives, and activities identified in the plan guide the annual
funding allocation. An updated plan was adopted in 2019 - the Chelan Douglas
Homeless Housing Strategic Plan. The agreement established a joint collaborative
public process for awarding those funds. East Wenatchee and Wenatchee staff work
together on funding programs related to ending homelessness using these available
funds.
A few years ago, the Washington State Department of Commerce changed their
housing and assistance programs for the funds that are provided by the State. To
address those changes to funding sources and programs, the parties to the previous
interlocal cooperation agreement entered into a new agreement to continue to work
cooperatively in addressing homelessness and housing needs.
The city of Wenatchee continues to administer the programs on behalf of the other
participating agencies by awarding the funds on a competitive basis to local homeless
service providers using as recommended by the Homeless Housing Task Force a
committee made up of representatives from the community and from the local
jurisdictions that are partner to the interlocal agreement.
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
WAC 365-195-310 requires that the Comprehensive Plan include a definition of
"affordable housing." This is difficult to define, since what is affordable for one family can
be drastically different from what is affordable for another family. The US Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) considers 30% of a family's gross income to be
available for mortgage payments or rent, including utility payments. This chapter will use
the 30% factor as a definition of “affordable housing”. If the household is paying 30% or
less for housing, including utilities, the home is considered affordable.

Census ACS 2007-11
Owner Occupied Housing: According to the 2000 US Census, the median value of an
owner-occupied residence in Douglas County was $133,500 which almost doubled the
value from a decade earlier. According to the 2010 Census, the median home price in
Douglas County in 2009 was $222,600, a 67% increase from 2000. The Pacific
Appraisal’s Snapshot Yearend Report indicated that the average sale price for homes in
the Wenatchee Valley Market Area for 2012 November of 2017 was $235,429$290,000.
In November of 2019 the price increased to $349,000. That is an increase of 20%.
During that same time period, median household income only increased by .06%. The
Wenatchee Valley Market includes properties in Chelan County and Douglas County in
the Wenatchee/East Wenatchee vicinity.
According to the 2014-2018 American Community Survey (ACS) the median value of all
owner-occupied housing in Douglas County was $250,800 and in East Wenatchee it
was slightly higher at $256,700.
Table 4.74.8 illustrates the affordability of the local homeowners: 26.523.5% of
homeowners in the City are paying more than 30% of their monthly income for housing.
That is slightly less than the 26.5% in the 2007-2011 ACS data. By comparison
compared to in the 2007-11 ACS data 34.2% of the Douglas County homeowners and
40.7% of homeowners in the state were paying more than 30% of their income for
housing and in the ACS 2014-2018 data that decreased to 26.3%. This trend may partly
be a result of the high concentration of older housing stock available in the City as noted
in Table 4.2.

Another measure of housing affordability for owner-occupied units is the Washington
State Center for Real Estate Research (WCRER) housing affordability index (HAI). The
HAI measures the ability of a middle-income family to make mortgage payments on a
median priced resale home. The calculation assumes a median priced home, 20%
down-payment, a 30-year fixed mortgage and middle income for the area. A typical
home is defined as the median-priced single-family home. The typical family is defined
as one earning the median family income as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau.
This Index assumes that the household is not spending more than 25% of its income on
principal and interest payments. When the index is at 100, the household pays exactly
this share of its income for principal and interest payments. When the index is above
100 it pays less, and when it is below 100, the household is paying more.
During the first quarter of 2020, the housing affordability index for all buyers in Douglas
County was 99, decreasing from 99.6 in 2018. By comparison Chelan County was
100.3, decreasing from 107.9 in 2018 and Washington State was 108.9, decreasing
from 107.5 since 2018. This comparison demonstrates a negative affordability factor for
Douglas County.

Table 4.11 above demonstrates that there is a gap between what a median income
household can afford to buy and the average sale price of homes in the area. The
affordable home price for a median income household is $207,941 while the average
home sales price is $235,429. Table 4.8 shows that there is significant difference
between the average home price and what a low or moderate income household can
afford.
Renter Occupied Housing. The 30% of income threshold is used for determining
affordability of rental housing as well as home ownership. The median household
income for renters is $35,641 which is $2,970 per month. The affordable housing price
at 30% would be $891. Table 4.114.12 lists the rental rates for occupied units. More
than 17% of the units exceed the affordable rent of $891. As can be seen in Table
4.124.13 below, there are a significant number of renters paying more than 30% for
rent: 45.841% of renters in the City and 36% in Douglas County.

LAND USE AND HOUSING
The Housing Element within the Comprehensive Plan is closely tied to the Land Use
Element. The land use element designates the proposed general distribution and
location of the uses of land; one of which is housing. Conversely, the Housing Element
provides guidance on the types and densities of housing to meet the needs of the
community.
The inclusion of population densities, building intensities, and estimates for future
population growth stated in the land use element solidifies its relationship with the
Housing Element. Policies regarding population densities, building intensities, and
future population growth estimates all affect what is possible and desirable in terms of
housing goals and policies.
The Land Use Element provides for a variety of housing types and densities within the
residential designations and provides opportunities for mixed-uses where high density
housing and commercial uses can co-exist. In keeping with historic trends and to
insureensure the availability of housing at varying affordability levels; the land capacity
analysis shows an 83% designation for single-family and 17% for multi-family. Policies
in the plan recommend densities up tofrom 8 to 10 dwelling units per acre for single-
family and a range of up to 15 to 24 30 dwelling units per acre for multi-family and
mixed use designations. Policies have also been included to encourage infill
development, increased density, and affordable housing to meet the needs of the
community.
Beyond the connection between land use and housing policies, the Land Use Element
ensures that there is adequate land area available to provide for the housing needs
related to the twenty year population projection. The availability of land is a crucial
factor in housing costs. The Land Use Element projects population growth out to the
year 20352040. The Land Capacity Analysis is found in Land Use Chapter of the
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan. Sufficient land has been allocated
for a range of housing needs and life styles within the Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. This equilibrium will work as a hedge against high housing costs,
and thereby somewhat contain the current housing affordability gap.
GOALS AND POLICIES

The housing goals and policies are an integral part of maintaining the atmosphere and
quality of life within the Greater East Wenatchee Area. Policies are designed to foster
active neighborhood communities and strengthen existing neighborhoods. .
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.
5. To insureensure that public facilities and infrastructure are available to
support development at urban densities in advance of or concurrent with
development.
POLICIES
H-1 Require residential development at urban densities to locate within urban growth
areas consistent with the comprehensive plan. If the property is located outside of
the service district boundary of a utility, annexation into the service district must
occur prior to development of the property.
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-5 Establish standards and an enforcement process to ensure maintenance of vacant
and developed lots in a clean and safe condition.
H-6 Require the construction of sound, safe, and sanitary dwelling units.
H-7 Use the following criteria for the establishment of residential densities:
a. Adjacent to commercial development, residential development should range
from 8 15 to 24 30 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 20 dwelling units per acre.

Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 45 of 72
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-9 Design of development in or near shoreline areas must be consistent with the
Shoreline Master Plan.
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-12 Development standards must address efficient transportation networks and multi-
modal opportunities for new development requiring the extension of existing streets
into and through developments and the provision of sidewalks and trails for non-
motorized modes of transportation.
H-13 New residential development in the urban growth area must be concurrently served
by a full range of urban governmental services. The City and County should
designate phasing of development areas not currently served by sanitary sewer.
On-site sewage disposal systems are a temporary option that should only be
available to properties located within these phasing areas in the UGA when the
developer:
a) Executes a formal development agreement, recorded and binding upon the
property, providing a financial guarantee to pay for the extension of sanitary
sewer with the creation of a utility local improvement district or other funding
mechanisms;
b) Installs “Dry lines” for centralized public collection at the time of development to
facilitate eventual connection to sanitary sewer;
c) Guarantees connection to the sanitary sewer at the time a main line is extended
to service the property by recording a binding agreement on the title of each lot
or dwelling unit created requiring sewer connection, at the property owner’s sole
expense, when the main line is installed to service the property; and
d) Designs and builds the project in a manner that locates the homes and other
uses on the property to facilitate infill development when the land area needed
for the on-site septic system is no longer necessary;
e) Includes a plan to insureensure that sewer service is provided within a
reasonable period of time.
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-15 Encourage and support programs that provide low cost housing for permanent,
seasonal, and retirement residents of the area.
H-16 Provide flexibility in development regulations to encourage the provision of housing
for low- and very – low income households and for special needs populations, such
as senior citizens, physically challenged, assisted living facilities, nursing home
care, congregate care, emergency shelters, or supervised environments.
H-17 Encourage and support the development of residential support uses such as day
care facilities throughout the community.
H-18 Encourage the rehabilitation of aging housing stock.
H-19 Work with other local jurisdictions and housing providers to identify housing needs
in the planning area; and develop strategies to provide for those needs.
H-20 Provide opportunities and incentives for individual property owners to meet the
housing needs of migrant agricultural workers.
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-22 Development of residential uses within any of the protection zones identified in
conjunction with Pangborn Memorial Airport must consider the proximity to the
airport and will be required to comply with any height limitations and should
consider additional insulation from sound from the airport operations and
overhead flights.
H-23 Develop a program to retrofit existing neighborhoods with the addition of sidewalks
and street illumination.
H-24 Ensure that new developments provide adequate street illumination.
H-25 Adopt zoning, subdivision and design regulations to guide and facilitate
development of mixed-use projects adjacent to and within commercial
designations.
HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
There is limited funding available for housing assistance. The existing housing
assistance resources in the Wenatchee Valley come from several sources, including the
US Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the United States Department
of Agriculture. Specifying specific programs in the Greater East Wenatchee Area is
difficult because of the fact that some residents are serviced by programs that are
region-wide, rural related or not specific to one municipality. Listed below are some
housing assistance funding programs.
Douglas County Regional Affordable Housing Program Fund
Douglas County and the city of East Wenatchee, along with other cities in the county,
collect housing assistance funds annually from the recording of documents. This
program was established by the state legislature in 2002 with the passage of the Low-
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet

Income Housing Projects Program (SHB 2060). That program authorizes a $10
surcharge on documents recorded through the County Auditor’s Office for the purpose
of providing funds for housing programs for extremely low and very low-income
persons.
Douglas County and the cities of Bridgeport, Rock Island, Mansfield, Waterville, and
East Wenatchee pooled these funds and created the “Douglas County Regional
Affordable Housing Program Fund”. The funds are awarded on an a biannual basis or
semi-annual basis depending upon the level of funding available. The Douglas County
Regional Council is the entity that makes recommendation to the County
Commissioners for the award awardsof the funds. This committee Regional Council is
made up of the mayors of each city and the three county commissioners.
Community Development Block Grant Program
The city of East Wenatchee is an entitlement community under Title 1 of the Housing
and Community Development Act of 1974 and is eligible to receive Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds annually from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This eligibility is due to the designation of the
Wenatchee area as an urbanized area as a result of the 2000 Census. HUD provides
guidance for the use of these funds by establishing three broad goals that entitlement
communities must pursue with their allocations:
♦ Ensuring that the community’s low- and moderate-income residents have access
to decent and affordable housing
♦ Ensuring that the community offers suitable living environments
♦ Expanding economic opportunities for the community’s low- and moderate-
income residents
The City completed a Community Development & Housing Consolidated Plan in 2010
2015 that provides the guidance for the use of the funds for a five-year period. Each
year an Annual Action Plan is completed allocating the funds for specific projects based
upon the goals and objectives contained in the Consolidated Plan.
The City annually receives approximately $100,000 per year. A portion of the funds
have been allocated for housing assistance programs. However, the majority of the
funds have been designated for sidewalk projects in low and moderate incomelow- and
moderate-income neighborhoods. The City Council determined that this was the best
use of the funds was to improvesince it would improve the living environment in the
community’s low and moderate incomelow- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
State Housing Programs
Washington State Housing Finance Commission
The Washington State Housing Finance Commission develops and administers
financing programs for affordable housing and cultural/social service facilities through
public/private partnerships with lenders, developers, nonprofit organizations and
governments. The Commission has five divisions, Home Ownership, Capital Projects,
Tax Credit, Compliance & Preservation, and Administration.

WA State Department of Commerce (Commerce)
The Commerce housing division invests public resources to create, preserve and
enhance safe and affordable housing for Washington residents. The Housing Trust
Fund Program provides loans and grants to local governments, nonprofit organizations
and public housing organizations for very low income and special housing needs. The
department provides rental assistance through its Tenant Based Rental Assistance and
Transitional Housing, Operating and Rent programs. Homelessness assistance is
provided by the Emergency Shelter Assistance Program in the form of traditional
shelters, rent/mortgage assistance to prevent eviction, first month’s rent/deposit
assistance to move out of a shelter, landlord mediation and case management services.
The Farm Worker Housing Program provides assistance via capital investments for
permanent and seasonal housing and emergency assistance for migrant farm workers
that are homeless or have been displaced.
Tax Exempt Revenue Bonds
The State of Washington has granted housing authorities the power to issue taxable
and nontaxable bonds to acquire, construct or otherwise develop housing for ownership
by the housing authority or to be owned directly by low income individuals or by others
on behalf of low income people.
Federal Housing Programs

CHAPTER 8
TRANSPORTATION
INTRODUCTION
The Transportation Element addresses the motorized and non-motorized transportation
needs of the Greater East Wenatchee Area. It represents the community's policy
regarding projected transportation needs (current and future), location and condition of the
existing traffic circulation system; the cause, scope and nature of transportation problems,
level of service standards, street classifications and associated transportation problems
the Area must address regarding growth in the next 20 years. As specified in the Growth
Management Act, new developments will be prohibited unless transportation
improvements or strategies to accommodate the impacts of development are made
concurrent with the development. Such improvements and strategies must be in place or
financially planned for within 6 years of development use.
The type and availability of transportation resources are major factors in the development
of land use patterns, while conversely, the way land is used greatly influences the need
and location for new transportation. The relationship between transportation and land use
is one of continuous interaction and their planning must be coordinated. The current land
use plan, the future land use map and the transportation element are highly dependent on
each other and need to be carefully coordinated.
The Wenatchee Valley has a long history of multi-jurisdictional coordination in
transportation planning. Since 2001 that relationship has been formalized in the creation of
a metropolitan planning organization, the Chelan Douglas Transportation Council (CDTC)
– formerly known as the Wenatchee Valley Transportation Council. The CDTC is the
region’s Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO) as well as being the
Metropolitan Planning Organization. Members of the CDTC include the cities of East
Wenatchee, Wenatchee, Leavenworth, Cashmere, Entiat, Rock Island, Chelan,
Bridgeport, Mansfield, and Waterville, Douglas County, Chelan County, the Port of
Douglas County, the Port of Chelan County, Link Transit, and Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
A major component of transportation planning for the Greater East Wenatchee Area is the
Transportation Council’s Transportation 2040 – The Regional Transportation Plan for
Chelan and Douglas Counties (Transportation 2040) and other documents that have been
adopted by reference in this comprehensive plan. As members of the Transportation
Council, all of the major governmental agencies in the region jointly plan for transportation
improvements that affect the region. Coordination with adjacent jurisdictions on
transportation issues is essential to an efficient regional transportation system.
The Transportation Element addresses all roads located within the planning area including
those which are the responsibility of the Washington State Department of Transportation,
Douglas County, the City of East Wenatchee and any private roads currently located or
planned to serve future development. This element provides information on existing
roadway functional classifications and the level of service standard established for each.

This Transportation Element is based upon and consistent with the Transportation 2040
priorities and recommendations.
EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
Roadways - Functional classification system
Classification of streets, roads and highways in the State of Washington is based upon
guidelines prepared by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and administered by
the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Location
A primary determination of the applicable portions of these Standards that must be used
is based on the location of the proposed road or street construction or improvement. In
most cases, the following will govern whether rural, urban or city standards will apply.
Rural
A rural location is defined as that area not within a federally designated urban or
urbanized area or a designated Urban Growth Area as established by Douglas County
under the Growth Management Act.
Urban
An urban location is defined as that area within a federally designated urban or
urbanized area or a designated Urban Growth Area as established by Douglas County
under the Growth Management Act.
Function
Public Streets/Roads
Public streets/roads are those that are continuously open to general public travel and
have been accepted by the City or County into that jurisdiction’s transportation system.
Roads and streets that are dedicated to the public shall become City/County
streets/roads upon completion of the construction to the appropriate jurisdiction’s
Standards, acceptance of the completed construction by the jurisdiction, and approval
of the final plat or other instrument as appropriate by the jurisdiction. All others must be
put on the transportation system by means of the road establishment process as
specified in RCW 36.81 and be constructed to applicable Standards for public roads.
Private Streets/Roads
Private streets/roads are all streets or roads not designated as public and not open to
general public travel.
Functional Classification - General
Rural Classifications
All county roads in rural areas are classified as Rural Local Access, Rural Collector
(Major and Minor), Rural Minor Arterial or Rural Major Arterial. New roads and streets
and any modifications to existing connector or frontage roads that may be required as a
condition of development approval shall meet the minimum design requirements for
rural roads as specified in these Standards. Different standards will apply depending
upon the forecasted traffic volumes and functional classification.
Urban Classification
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
Page 224 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 52 of 72
All streets or roads in urban areas are classified as Urban Local Access, Urban
Collector, Urban Minor Arterial or Urban Principal Arterial. New roads and streets and
any modifications to existing connector or frontage roads that may be required as a
condition of development approval shall meet the minimum design requirements for
urban roads as specified in these Standards, provided however, local access roads
outside of Urban Growth Areas yet within a Federal Urbanized Area may use a rural
standard. Different standards will apply depending upon the functional classification.
Functional Classification – Descriptions
Principal Arterial– Principal arterials permit traffic flow through and between cities and
towns and between major elements of the urban areas. They are of great importance in
the regional transportation system as they interconnect major traffic generators, such as
central business districts and regional shopping centers, to other major activity centers
and carry a high proportion of the total area travel on a minimum of roadway mileage.
Principal arterials frequently carry important intra-urban as well as inter-city bus routes.
Many principal arterials are fully or partially access controlled facilities emphasizing the
through movement of traffic. Within the category are (1) interstates (2) other freeways
and expressways and (3) other principal arterials. Spacing of principal arterials may
vary from less than one mile in highly developed central business areas to five miles or
more in sparsely developed urban fringes and rural areas. Principal arterials generally
comprise 5-10 percent of the urban system.
Minor Arterial– Minor arterials collect and distribute traffic from principal arterials to
lesser-classified streets, or allow for traffic to directly access their destination. In urban
areas, they serve secondary traffic generators such as community business centers,
neighborhood shopping centers, multiple residence areas, and traffic from
neighborhood to neighborhood within a community. Urban bus routes generally follow
these facilities. Access to land use activities is generally prohibited. Such facilities are
usually spaced under two miles apart in urban fringes and in core areas can be spaced
1/8 to 1/2 mile apart. .
Collectors (Urban) – Urban collectors provide for land access and traffic circulation
within residential neighborhoods and commercial and industrial areas. They distribute
traffic movements from such areas to the arterial system. Half-mile spacing is common
in more developed areas. Collectors do not handle long through trips and are not
continuous for any great length. They generally account for 5-10 percent of the total
street system.
Local Roads and Streets– All public roads and streets, not otherwise classified as an
arterial or collector, comprise the local access system. These roadways primarily serve
local needs for access to adjacent lands, travel over relatively short distances, and
connections to collectors or other higher systems. Local urban streets offer the lowest
level of mobility and usually contain no bus routes. Service to through traffic movement
is deliberately discouraged. Local streets usually account for 65-80 percent of the
urban system.
The table below lists the number of miles for each classification and the percentage of
the total miles within the East Wenatchee Urban Area for each classification. This

includes streets owned and maintained by the city, Douglas County, and WSDOT. There
are 10 signalized intersections within the East Wenatchee Urban Area.

roads within the East Wenatchee Urban Area. The map also illustrates proposed street
alignments.

Public Transit
The Chelan-Douglas Public Transportation Benefit Area (PTBA), known as Link, is a
municipal corporation that began providing public transportation services in late 1991.
Link operates throughout Chelan County and most of Douglas County. The Greater East
Wenatchee Area is within Link’s service area. Currently, 18 routes provide service
connecting the region to the East Wenatchee area. Six routes operate directly in the East
Wenatchee area providing service to most areas hourly from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.,
Monday through Saturday. Link also provides ADA paratransit services to all areas within
¾ mile of Link’s fixed routed service, as well as vanpool and ridematch services. All Link
buses are equipped (seasonally) with bicycle racks allowing transit users to carry bicycles
on busses to complete travel trips.
Nonmotorized Transportation
Existing pedestrian facilities in the planning area consist of sidewalks and pedestrian
ways associated with roadways. Pedestrian facilities such as sidewalks are largely
concentrated in the urbanized areas primarily within the Central Business Core and within
newer residential subdivisions.
Designated bicycle routes are also located within the urban area, however they are not
clearly marked. Link administers the BikeLink program, which is designed to encourage
joint use of bicycle and transit facilities. Cyclists may mount their bicycles on racks on
the front of Link buses that operate on intercommunity routes.
Air Transportation
Air transportation is available to East Wenatchee Area residents at the nearby Pangborn
Memorial Airport. Pangborn Memorial Airport serves the counties of Chelan and Douglas,
and portions of Okanogan and Grant counties, with a service area extending north to the
Canadian border.
The airport master plan update, completed in 2004, forecasts that the airport is expected
to experience an increase in total based aircraft, annual air operations and annual
enplaned passengers, as well as an increase in turbine-powered aircraft throughout the 20
year20-year planning period. Annual enplanements are forecasted to double. Annual
operations, such as commercial, general aviation, and military are forecasted to increase
from 48,800 to 86,400 per year. AdditionallyAdditionally, the number of Instrument
Approaches is expected to increase from 709 to 1210 per year.
To accommodate the forecasted growth, improvements have been completed including a
new landing system to improve landing reliability and an increase in runway length to
accommodate changes to commercial and general aviation operations. The relocation of
Grant Road permits the airport to utilize its full-length runway.
Passenger Rail and Rail Freight Facilities
Passenger rail service is provided by AMTRAK. The train station is located on Kittitas
Street in downtown Wenatchee. AMTRAK provides passenger transit services to
destinations east and west. Eastern destinations are via the Montana/St. Paul line,
which ends in Chicago, Illinois.
Rail freight service for Wenatchee and the surrounding areas is provided 24 hours per
day by Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Rail Road (BNSFRR). The rail freight yard is

located between Columbia and Worthen Streets in downtown Wenatchee. Wenatchee
is on the BNRR mainline between Everett and Spokane, Washington and is also the
location of train crew shift changes. Approximately 20 trains pass through Wenatchee
daily. Not all trains stop to load and unload; the number of trains that stop depend, in
large part, upon service demand and the destination of goods. Cars are pulled daily for
loading of freight that includes lumber, wood chips, aluminum, and apples.
Rail lines run along the Columbia River and cross the river into Chelan County at Rock
Island.

network. Roadway standards should be based on the local classification
systems.
T-32 In consideration of their regional significance, arterial and collector road
classifications require connectivity to accommodate existing and future growth.
Examples include without exception:
• the Empire Avenue connection to the Cascade interchange,
• the 12th Street SE to Ward Avenue,
• and the future north south connector from the Airport industrial area to
SR2/97.
T-33 In consideration of the importance of the Apple Capital Loop Trail, as
demonstrated in the “More Than a Trail” survey, it is vital to ensure connectivity
to the trail from the city and county road systems.
T-34 Development shall provide improvements adjacent to their development in
accordance with adopted design standards and approved traffic studies. Where
deficiencies are present, these issues would have to be addressed prior to
development occurring in order to protect the public’s health, safety and general
welfare consistent with the policies of the comprehensive plan, standard
engineering principals, and adopted standards. Improvements necessary to
maintain adopted levels of service shall be in place at the time of development,
or a financial commitment agreed to by the city or county and the applicant must
be in place to complete the improvements or strategies within six years.
T-35 Access to SR2/97 from the Baker Flats Industrial Urban Growth Area should be
limited to maintain adopted levels of service and a safe highway corridor while
providing efficient access points for industrial users with internal road networks.
Expansion and development of the Baker Flats Industrial Area shall be
accommodated by the access points identified during environmental review by
Douglas County and as approved by Douglas County or the City of East
Wenatchee, and the Washington State Department of Transportation.
T-36 The city will plan for, design and construct all new transportation projects to
provide appropriate accommodation for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and
persons of all abilities. Complete Streets principles will be incorporated into city
and county plans, rules, regulations and programs as appropriate.
T-37 Expansion of the UGA south or east of Canyon Hills subdivision must consider
removing the existing vehicular access from Badger Mountain Road to Sand
Canyon Road with a new access connecting to Wheatridge Drive. Additionally,
all internal roads within this area must be constructed in a manner that facilitates
extension and connection of the internal road to the south, ultimately connecting
to 10th St. NE between N. Lyle Avenue and N. Nile Avenue.
T-38 Expansion of the UGA to the east towards the Pangborn Memorial Airport along
the Grant Road corridor must incorporate development of an east-west and
north-south urban style roadway network to facilitate access and connectivity.

T-39 Proposed new circulation routes have been identified in the circulation plan. The
specific location of these routes may be altered by the city or county to
accomplish the intended circulation functions. As development occurs in the area
of the new proposed circulation corridors, development must proportionately
address transportation system impacts and improvements needed.
T-40 Encourage physical activity by providing alternative modes of transportation with
more pedestrian and bicycle friendly street standards.
T-41 Improve and maintain pedestrian connections between residential, employment,
commercial, educational, and recreation centers.
T-42 Provide a comprehensive and interconnected network of bikeways linking
residential areas with employment, educational, commercial, and recreation
centers.
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ANALYSIS
This section provides a summary of the transportation system analysis that was conducted
for the Transportation 2040 Plan written for the Chelan Douglas Transportation Council.
The Transportation 2040 Plan is the regional transportation plan. The plan was developed
to analyze the Wenatchee Valley Transportation System on a regional level, evaluate the
transportation needs, and identify regional priority projects to address the most critical
problems. The City of East Wenatchee and Douglas County are members of the Chelan
Douglas Transportation Council and work with the other members to realize this regional
transportation plan.
Level of Service (LOS)
LOS is a quantitative measure describing the roadway, transportation facility and transit
system’s ability to carry traffic.
Transportation 2040 establishes several performance measures and performance targets
for the regional transportation system. Any roadway or facility that does not meet the
standards is considered “deficient”. As noted below, these performance measures are
applied to federal aid roadways which include only collectors and arterials.

Roadway Condition
Transportation mobility is dependent on the condition of the system’s streets, bridges,
bicycle lanes, and sidewalks. The successful maintenance of existing public transportation
systems promotes mobility, safety, efficiency, and infrastructure preservation. Managing
and protecting public infrastructure investments can significantly reduce the need for new
and/or replacement of these facilities in the future.

Driving or Vehicle Mobility
Vehicle mobility is measure in the Level of Service (LOS) established at intersections as
well as corridor delay. LOS is a qualitative term describing the operating conditions a
driver will experience while driving on a particular street or highway during a specific time
interval. It ranges from LOS A (little or no delay) to LOS F (long delays, congestion).
The methods used to calculate the levels of service are described in the Highway Capacity
Manual. The measure of effectiveness for signalized intersections is control delay, which
is defined as the sum of the initial deceleration delay, queue move up delay, stopped delay
and final acceleration delay.
For unsignalized intersections, level of service is based on an estimate of average stopped
delay for each movement or approach group.
The table below describes the various levels.
LOS
Signalized Delay per Vehicle
(sec/veh)
Unsignalized Delay per Vehicle
(sec/veh)
A 0-10 0-10
B >10-20 >10-15
C >20-35 >15-25
D >35-55 >25-35
E >55-80 >35-50
F >80 >50
Transportation 2040 has adopted a standard of LOS E or better as acceptable at all
functionally classified intersections for East Wenatchee Urban Area. The map below
shows the intersections that are currently failing the LOS established for this area.

There are five failing intersections in the East Wenatchee Urban Area:
• Three are on Grant Road at SR 28, at Valley Mall Parkway/Rock Island Road, and
at Eastmont/Highline Drive,
• SR 28 at 19th St. NE, and
• SR 28 at the junction with HWY 2/97
Delay corridors include:
• SR 28,
• Baker Ave. between 15th St. NE and 23rd NE, and between 9th NE and 11th NE
• Eastmont Avenue between Grant Road and Badger Mountain Road
• Grant Road between Eastmont Avenue and James Avenue.
Non-Motorized Performance Measures
The non-motorized performance measures were developed to identify locations where
sidewalks and bicycle routes should be located according to the standards that all

Page 241 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 69 of 72
roadways classified as collectors or arterials should have sidewalks and all bicycle routes
identified on approved plans should be in place.
Walking
Transportation 2040 includes a “Walking” performance category for the regional street
system. Walking or Pedestrian Mobility and comfort is measured by the presence of
continuous sidewalks on both sides of the street.
A comprehensive inventory of sidewalk facilities on local access streets has not been
performed on an urban-wide basis. Policies in the Housing Chapter and Transportation
Chapter of the comprehensive plan indicate that such a project should be initiated to
develop a sidewalk capital improvement program.
The map below shows the areas that meet the performance standard and those that do
not.

Bicycling
The Wenatchee Valley Transportation Council adopted the Greater Wenatchee Bicycle
Master Plan on May 9, 2013. That document is adopted by reference to supplement this
chapter of the comprehensive plan. Transportation 2040 includes a “Cycling” performance
category for the regional street system. The performance measure in this category include
the presence of bikeway facilities consistent with the Bicycle Master Plan. As bike lane
strategies and designs evolve, alternatives to the conventional one-way bike have
developed. The Bicycle Master Plan includes an assortment of recommendations for
bicycle facilities.
The city and county regularly evaluate the provision of bicycle lanes during the design of
all public streets.
Transportation System Management
Transportation System Management is applied to a wide range of transportation system
improvements that have low or no capital cost but address impediments to efficient
operation of the transportation system. Transportation system management measures
include:
• Access Management
• Sub-Area Planning
• Integrating Multimodal Transportation and Land Use
• Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
Demand Management
Most solutions to traffic congestion involve increasing system capacity. However, in
some cases, reducing demand can relieve capacity shortfalls. Since capacity shortfalls
generally occur during peak morning and evening commute hours, management
strategies that focus on reducing trips can be particularly effective. Strategies include;
car/vanpooling programs, variable work hours, telecommuting, incentives for transit use,
bicycling and walking. If transportation demand management strategies such as these
can be expanded, transportation system demand can be reduced.
Concurrency Management
The Growth Management Act defines a concurrency management system (CMS) as
follows:
“Local jurisdictions must adopt and enforce ordinances which prohibit development
approval if the development causes the level of service on a transportation facility to
decline below the standard adopted in the Transportation Element of the
Comprehensive Plan, unless transportation improvements or strategies to
accommodate the impacts of development are made concurrent with the
development.
Concurrent with development implies that public infrastructure improvements and
strategies that are required to service land development be in place, or financially
planned for, within six years of development use.”

Page 243 of 371
__________________________________________________________________
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan – Draft Amendment 3-5-2021
Page 71 of 72
For the purposes of compliance with the Growth Management Act, “concurrency”
means that the transportation facilities needed to meet LOS will be in place within six
years of completion of the development that triggered the need for the improvements.
PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
State law requires that each city and county annually prepare and adopt a
comprehensive transportation improvement program (TIP) for six calendar years.
Communities planning under the Growth Management Act are required to show that the
transportation program is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The TIP is a
planning document for local agencies to identify projects and estimate the costs to help
the city and county develop a funding strategy to pay for the improvements. The TIP
lists the projects providing a brief description, potential funding sources, and a schedule
for the phases of the project from design through construction. The road projects are
listed in priority order.
Classification of streets, roads and highways in the State of Washington is based upon
guidelines prepared by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and administered
by the Washington State Department of Transportation. Federal funds can only be
spent on roads that are classified as principal arterial, minor arterial, or collector. All
other roads are classified as local access and other funding sources, typically local
revenue, must be used for those roads. Any road construction project that is to be
considered for federal funding or Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) funding must
be listed on the TIP. To be eligible for allocation of half-cent gas tax monies, projects
must be listed on the TIP.
Once adopted, the TIP must be sent to the Secretary of Transportation and to the
Chelan Douglas Transportation Council (CDTC). The CDTC is the metropolitan
transportation planning agency for the greater Wenatchee metropolitan area and is the
administrative agency for the North Central Regional Transportation Planning
Organization (NCRTPO). The CDTC develops a Regional TIP based upon the adopted
city and county TIPs. Eventually projects that are eligible reach the State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
The jurisdiction must hold at least one public hearing before final adoption of the six
year TIP by the City Council or County Commissioners.
Adoption by Reference. The following documents are adopted by this reference.
Douglas County and City of East Wenatchee Annual Six-Year Transportation
Improvement Programs. Since TIPs are reviewed and adopted on an annual basis,
the City and County TIPs are adopted by this reference into the Comprehensive Plan.
Although the TIP is technically part of the Capital Facilities Plan (CF Plan), GMA
requires that transportation be addressed through the Transportation Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. For a list of current projects, please see the most recently
adopted TIPs for the City and County.

3. A detailed statement how the proposed amendment is consistent with the Growth
Management Act (RCW 36.70A), county-wide planning policies, the Douglas County
Comprehensive Plan, applicable city comprehensive plans and capital facilities plans.
The text amendment revises GEWA Comprehensive Plan policy T-30 Item B pertaining
to Eastmont Avenue by removing a numeric limit on the number of connections to
Eastmont Avenue and revising language pertaining to specific types of allowable
connections to be consistent with adopted road standards. This text amendment is
necessary because the numeric limit residing in the GEWA Comprehensive Plan
supersedes adopted road standards and does not provide for deviation.
Removal of the numeric limit accomplishes the following:
a. Places greater reliance on the referenced road standards and engineering
analysis for determination of appropriate locations and number of connections for
adjacent parcels, consistent with the County Road Standards and City Code Title
12 purposes of providing minimum standards for development.
b. Provides a foundation for more efficient and effective land use development
proposals for parcels subject to policy T-30 Item B, consistent with GEWA
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element goals of putting existing underutilized
residential lands within the UGA to use (infill) and towards allowable maximum
density per acre (prevention of underutilized land).
c. Is more consistent with GEWA Comprehensive Plan Housing Element Policy H-1
regarding urban densities within the UGA and H-21 pertaining to target net
densities.
On the contrary, retention of the numeric limit will limit the development potential
of parcels subject to policy T-30 Item B.
Requirements for consistency with adopted road standards already exists within
the subject policy the GEWA Comprehensive Plan and County and City codes.
4. A detailed statement explaining how the site is more consistent with the proposed land
use designation than with the existing land use designation.
Not Applicable
5. A statement explaining how the site is suitable for the proposed designation and that

Plan.
Not Applicable
7. Is the proposed amendment adjacent to or located within lands designated as resource
lands of long term commercial significance or critical areas? Will the proposed
amendment adversely affect lands designated as resource lands of long term
commercial significance or critical areas?
Not Applicable
8. Are public facilities, infrastructure and transportation systems present to serve the
intended amendment or have provisions been made in accordance with the DCC to
provide the necessary facilities?
Yes. Eastmont Avenue is a major public road with a County functional classification as
an urban arterial and a Federal functional classification as a minor arterial.
A planning level sight distance analysis completed for the subject parcels at a design
speed of fifty (50) miles per hour (mph) demonstrates that more than two connections
can be safely constructed, with the final number dependent on ultimate development
proposal configuration. The limiting sight distance factor is the intersection sight distance
Case B1: Left Turn from the Minor Road – Stopped Condition.
The existing fifty-foot wide road section (measured face of curb to face of curb) along the
frontage of the properties, impacted by the proposed text amendment, may be restriped
at proposed connections to match that of the intersection with Baker Avenue. The
current single median and two through lane configuration (Eastmont Extension As-Builts
Section 5) may be revised to a dedicated southbound left turn lane, northbound right turn
pocket and two through lane configuration. Provision of dedicated left turn lane(s) and/or
right turn pocket(s) prevents impact to the through movement’s capacity and related
level of service.
Utilities are proximate to the subject parcels, and extensions of and/or connections to
utilities will be subject to customary requirements of the purveyors at the time of
development or subdivision application, consistent with GEWA Comprehensive Plan
Low Residential policy regarding urban governmental services and infrastructure.

SUBJECT: Planning Level Sight Distance Analysis
Parcels Subject to GEWA Comprehensive Plan Policy T-30 Item B
A Sight Distance Analysis (SDA) was completed for the east side of Eastmont Avenue between
the Badger Mountain Road and Fancher Field Road intersections. The analysis evaluates
access point safety with respect to exceeding two access points onto Eastmont Avenue in
support of a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment of policy T-30 item B.
The analysis utilized methodology in the AASHTO Green Book, 2011 Edition, consistent with
Douglas County Code Title 12.52. The analysis evaluated a conservative design speed of fifty
(50) miles per hour (mph). The May 9, 2012 Eastmont Extension As-Built plans between
Fancher Field Road and Badger Mountain Road intersections, a distance of approximately
6,028 feet, was utilized as the basis for the analysis.
The analysis demonstrates that safe access exists, which allows for more than two access
points onto Eastmont Avenue for the subject parcels. Along nearly ninety-percent (90%) of the
subject parcels’ combined frontage of approximately 4,861 feet, the limiting sight distance factor
is the intersection sight distance Case B1: Left Turn from the Minor Road – Stopped Condition
of 555 feet. Considering this parameter alone, eight access points are possible.
Along the frontage of the subject parcels, the alignment varies negligibly from a tangent
(straight) and a 2% grade. Significant alignment changes are limited to a horizontal curve near
the Badger Mountain Road intersection south of STA 104+75, and a crest vertical curve south
of STA 99+15.

SUBJECT: GEWA Comp Plan Text Amendment T-30
Dear Lori,
Thank you for forwarding the Memo from Mike Neer at Douglas County with respect to the
GEWA Comp Plan Text Amendment T-30.
Mike’s suggested changes provide clarity and implement the spacing requirements shown to be
appropriate through Pacific’s sight distance analysis.
However, we have noted on further review that some of language Pacific had proposed on
behalf of the proponent of the Text Amendment could be interpreted to require any new
connections constructed by the proponent to be extended to neighboring properties.
The property to the south is divided into lots for single-family residences, and driveways have
already been constructed to them from Lower Daniels Drive, so there is no reason for the
proponent to provide access to the south from any new connection on his property.
In discussion with the proponent, the owner of the property to the north, Don Mounter, has
stated that he has no interest in developing anything other than a single-family home on his
property. Access for such a residence is already provided off the Eastmont Avenue Extension

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.
A. Background
1. Name of proposed project, if applicable:
2020 Annual GEWA Update.
2. Name of applicant:

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 city and surrounding 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 at the point that
construction occurs.
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. The proposed amendment affecting Eastmont
Avenue will allow access along a corridor that is improved with curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
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?
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
Page 262 of 371
SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 5 of 5
The proposed amendments are to the comprehensive plan and are consistent with the existing
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: Ordinance 2021-09 amending the City’s Subdivision Code to
increase the number of lots for a short plat from 4 to 9 lots.
Date: April 20, 2021
I. Summary Title: An Ordinance of the City of East Wenatchee
amending chapters 16.04, 16.08, and 16.12 and section 16.16.010 of
the East Wenatchee Municipal Code to increase the number of lots
that can be created using the short plat process from 4 to 9 lots,
containing a severability clause, and establishing an effective date
II. Background/History: The City Council initiated amendments to the
East Wenatchee Municipal Code to address legislative provisions in
Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill (E2SHB) 1923. With the
passage of that bill, the legislature is encouraging cities planning
under the Growth Management Act to take 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.
• 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 received a grant from the Washington State Department of
Commerce to assist with this project. Council has already approved
ordinances addressing the first actions. The ordinance under
consideration addresses the last action.
The Planning Commission held a workshop on February 23, 2021 to
review the draft Subdivision Code amendments.
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
Page 265 of 371
It should be noted that Douglas County amended their code in 2017
to allow short plats up to 9 lots for projects within any urban growth
areas. This proposal would make the City consistent with County
procedures.
III. Recommended Action: At their public hearing on March 30, 2021,
the Planning Commission took action to recommend approval of the
proposed Municipal Code amendments in title 16 with a vote of 6-0.
Request to suspend second reading and motion to approve

DATE: March 30, 2021
SUBJECT: ZTA 2020-03 Amending chapters and sections in Title 16 of the East
Wenatchee Municipal Code to increase the number of lots that can be
created using the Short Plat procedure from 4 to 9 lots
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 to chapters 16.04, 16.08, 16.12 and section 16.16.010
of the East Wenatchee Municipal Code (EWMC) to increase the number of lots
that can be created using the Short Plat procedure from 4 to 9 lots.
B. Location: The proposal will be applicable to properties within the city of East
Wenatchee.
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 three actions:
•Authorize at least one duplex, triplex, or courtyard apartment on each
parcel in one or more zoning districts that permit single-family residences.
•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.
East Wenatchee Municipal Code amendments were processed last month to
address the first two actions. The proposal under consideration addresses the
third action to allow up to nine lots to be created using the short plat process.

This option has been available to cities since 1995. RCW 58.17 was amended
again in 2002 to allow counties, planning under the Growth Management Act, to
increase the number of lots created using the short plat process from four to nine
lots for projects located within the unincorporated portion of the urban growth
area. Douglas County amended their Subdivision Code in November 2017 to
take advantage of that option.
B. Subdivision Code: Amendments are proposed to Title 16 – Subdivisions in the
East Wenatchee Municipal Code to increase the number of lots that can be
created using the Short Plat procedure from 4 to 9 lots. The full text of the
amendments is included as Exhibit A. Specifically, the amendments are in
chapters 16.04 - General Provisions, 16.08 - Definitions, and 16.12 – Short Plats
and Short Subdivisions. It should be noted that a minor amendment has been
added for section 16.16.010 EWMC – the Applicability section for Major
Subdivisions. See Amendment 4 on page 15 of Exhibit A changing the
applicability of the major subdivision process to the division of land into 10 or
more lots.
The primary difference between the short plat process and the major subdivision
process is that short plats are processed administratively and require no public
hearing or any action by the City Council. However, the review process is quite
similar. Agencies are consulted and a determination must be made that the
proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan and zoning provisions. Street
improvements, utility extensions and other requirements are still applicable.
As mentioned above, state law was changed in 1995 to allow cities the option of
increasing the number of lots from 4 to 9 using the short plat process and again
in 2002 to allow counties that same option for projects located within an urban
growth area. RCW 58.17.020(6) defines a “short subdivision” as:
RCW 58.17.020(6) "Short subdivision" is the division or redivision
of land into four or fewer lots, tracts, parcels, sites, or divisions for
the purpose of sale, lease, or transfer of ownership. However, the
legislative authority of any city or town may by local ordinance
increase the number of lots, tracts, or parcels to be regulated as
short subdivisions to a maximum of nine. The legislative authority of
any county planning under RCW 36.70A.040 that has adopted a
comprehensive plan and development regulations in compliance
with chapter 36.70A RCW may by ordinance increase the number
of lots, tracts, or parcels to be regulated as short subdivisions to a
maximum of nine in any urban growth area.
Adoption of the proposed amendments will make the City consistent with
Douglas County and with the provisions of RCW 58.17.020(6).
C. 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 goals and policies are applicable to the proposal under
consideration:

Staff Report - ZTA 2020-03 Amend EWMC Short Plats

Chapter 4 - Housing.
Goals
1. To provide for a sufficient number of safe, attractive and
affordable residences for people of all income levels.
5. To ensure that public facilities and infrastructure are available
to support development at urban densities in advance of or
concurrent with development.
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-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.
The proposed amendment will provide greater flexibility for developing parcels
that are underutilized. An underutilized parcel is one that has an existing home
on it where the lot is larger than the minimum lot size requires. This provision
may provide an incentive for landowners and developers to divide the property
into more affordable lots by allowing the use of the less expensive and more
expedient short plat process. The proposed amendment is consistent with and
implements the goals and policies in the comprehensive plan.
D. State Review: RCW 36.70A.106 requires local agencies to submit a notice of
intent to the Washington State Department of Commerce (Commerce) for all
proposed amendments to comprehensive plans and development regulations.
Typically, the review period is 60-days. However, Commerce allows expedited
review for permanent changes to a development regulation. (RCW
36.70A.106(3)(b)). The proposal was submitted to Commerce on February 15,
2021 with a request for expedited review. Expedited review was granted on
March 4, 2021. No substantive comments from state agencies were received.
Commerce documentation is included as Exhibit B.
E. Environmental Review: An Environmental Checklist was prepared on March 4,
2021. A threshold determination and environmental review pursuant to RCW
43.21C the State Environmental Policy Act was completed, and a Determination
of Non-significance was issued on March 4, 2021 with a comment period ending
on March 19, 2021. No comments were submitted indicating that the proposal
would have a detrimental impact on the environment. SEPA documents have
been included as Exhibit C.

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.

of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to
describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this
page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project
description.)
Amendments are proposed to chapters 16.04, 16.08, and 16.12 within Title 16 Subdivisions of
the East Wenatchee Municipal Code. The purpose of the amendments is to increase the
number of lots that can be processed using the Short Plat procedure from 4 to 9 lots.
12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise
location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and
range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or
boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic
map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you
are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications
related to this checklist.
The proposal is a non-project action that is applicable to properties located within the City of
East Wenatchee, Douglas County, Washington.

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 proposal does not increase density
or development.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
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 would not have an effect on the environment or sensitive areas.
potential benefit for preserving environmentally sensitive areas, critical areas, and farmland.
Projects are still evaluated for potential impacts during review of the development proposal
regardless of whether the project is administratively reviewed, or a public hearing process is
used.
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:
• increased potential for infill development;
• encourage the provision of housing affordable to all economic groups; and
Administrative procedures are less costly to process and take less time than projects requiring a
hearing. The reduction cost and time could minimally improve the affordability of a housing
development.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
None are necessary. Consistency with the shoreline master program and the comprehensive
plan are evaluated whether the project is administrative or not.
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.

SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 5 of 5
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
As development occurs additional need for services is anticipated, however the proposal is
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 utility, transportation and
other system 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: Tom Wachholder, Project Development Manager
Subject: VPR Services, LLC Contract for Pavement Condition Surveys
Date: April 20, 2021
I. Summary Title: Personal Services Contract between the City of East Wenatchee (City) and VPR
Services, LLC for conducting pavement rating surveys for all classified City-owned streets.
II. Background/History: Public Works Department staff identified a need to update the City’s
pavement management program in 2019. The first step in updating the City’s pavement
management program was to acquire pavement management software (e.g., StreetSaver).
The StreetSaver software was acquired following City Council’s approval on July 16, 2019.
The next step included obtaining updated pavement condition indices. Initial pavement
condition surveys were completed in 2019. The 2019 baseline survey included an evaluation
of every City-owned street. From a pavement management perspective, it is best practice to
evaluate classified streets (e.g., Arterial, Collector) every two (2) years and evaluate local
access streets every five (5) years.
The proposed Personal Services Contract authorizes VPR Services, LLC to conduct pavement
rating surveys for all classified City-owned streets. Once completed, pavement condition data
will be imported into StreetSaver by VPR Services, LLC.
III. Recommended Action: Authorize Mayor Crawford to execute the proposed Personal Services
Contract between the City of East Wenatchee and VPR Services, LLC for conducting pavement
rating surveys.

resolution to the dispute as follows:
i. The complaining party shall notify (in the manner required in this
Agreement) the other parties of the alleged dispute, controversy, claim or
breach of contract (hereinafter “Dispute’) by explaining in writing the

Agreement upon which it bases its position regarding the Dispute. The
complaining party shall also set forth in such notice a proposed solution to
the Dispute;
ii. The parties receiving such notice shall respond by notice individually to
the complaining party within twenty (20) days of the effective date of the
complaining party’s notice, with an explanation of its defensive position,
if any, including references to the relevant paragraphs of the Agreement
and a response to the proposed solution; and
iii. Within twenty days following notice of this defensive response, the parties
shall meet and discuss options for resolving the Dispute; the complaining
party must initiate the scheduling of this resolution meeting. In the event a
party fails to cooperate in scheduling the resolution meeting, then the
complaining party may elect to skip the negotiation and mediation
procedures and immediately proceed with arbitration.
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet
Page 322 of 371
Personal Services Contract for Conducting Pavement Rating Surveys for All Classified
City Streets
Page 9 of 10
b. Mediation. If the parties are unable to satisfactorily resolve the Dispute through
such negotiation, mediation must be held within thirty days of an unsuccessful
resolution meeting. The mediation will be governed by and under the then-
applicable rules of JAMS/Endispute (“JAMS”) in Chelan County. The
complaining party must contact JAMS to schedule the mediation. The parties may
agree on a mediator from the JAMS panel. If they are unable to agree, the parties
shall request JAMS to provide a list of three available mediators, and each side
shall strike one; the remaining individual shall serve as the mediator. In the event
a party fails to cooperate in this mediation process in a timely manner, then the
complaining party may elect to skip the mediation procedure and immediately
proceed with arbitration.
c. Binding Arbitration. If the dispute is not timely settled by mediation as set forth
above, then the parties agree to submit the dispute immediately to JAMS for final
and binding arbitration as follows:
i. A single arbitrator shall be used. The parties may agree on an arbitrator
from the JAMS panel. The complaining party may initiate arbitration by
providing notice of intent to arbitrate to all parties and to JAMS: The
notice must contain a description of the Dispute, the amount involved, and
the remedy sought. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the
parties shall request JAMS to provide a list of three available panel
members and each party may strike one; the remaining individual shall
serve as the arbitrator. If the parties agree, the individual that served as the
mediator may serve as the arbitrator.
ii. If and when such a demand for arbitration is made by any party, the
parties agree to promptly conduct the arbitration in accordance with JAMS
Rules and Procedures.
iii. The parties agree that arbitration must be initiated within one (1) year after
the latter of (i) the occurrence of the claimed breach, or (ii) the discovery
thereof by the complaining party; and that the failure to initiate dispute
resolution in accordance with this Section within that one-year period shall
constitute an absolute bar to the institution of any adjudicatory
proceedings with respect thereto, unless the parties agree otherwise in
writing to extend such period of time.
iv. Provided, however, that such arbitration shall not apply so as to delay or
prevent any judicial or arbitrator’s injunctive or other equitable relief
hereunder, which shall be effective immediately, subject to the requisite
final and binding arbitration with respect thereto which shall be handled
concurrently or after such relief is granted. The arbitrator shall not have
the power to award exemplary or punitive damages.
4/20/2021 City Council Agenda Packet

Page 10 of 10
v. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to enter a decision
adjudicating the Dispute, or granting other affirmative relief, including an
award for damages, other affirmative relief, specific performance and
injunctive relief; provided that a party may petition the court for
enforcement of confirmation of any award if necessary.
vi. Any decision or award entered by the arbitrator may be entered on an ex-
parte basis.
20. Attorney’s Fees. If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement
of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default, or misrepresentation in
connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the substantially prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs incurred in that action,
arbitration or proceeding.
21. Severability. If a competent court of law determines any section or portion of this
Agreement to be unlawful, such determination shall not affect the remaining terms and
conditions of the Agreement.
22. Non-waiver. Waiver of any default or breach of this agreement shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of any other prior or subsequent default or breach and shall not be construed to be a
modification of the terms of this agreement unless stated to be such through written agreement of
the signatories hereto.

COUNCIL AGENDA BILL
To: Mayor and Council
From/Presenter: Tom Wachholder, Project Development Manager
Subject: 10th Street NE Improvements Project - RH2 Engineering Services
During Construction Consultant Agreement
Date: April 20, 2021
I. Summary Title: Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) Consultant Agreement between the
City of East Wenatchee (City) and RH2 Engineering (RH2) for Services During Construction
associated with the 10th Street NE Improvements Project.
II. Background/History: The 10th Street NE corridor from Eastmont Ave to N Kentucky Ave is
noted for several deficiencies pertaining to both motorized and non-motorized
transportation. For example, the roadway lacks adequate subgrade surfacing, multi-modal
access (e.g., limited sidewalks, poor pedestrian crossings, non-existent bicycle lanes), an
adequate storm sewer system, and illumination.
On August 14, 2018, City Council approved and authorized Mayor Lacy to execute a Public
Works Board Contract for a $750,000 pre-construction loan. Subsequently, City Council
authorized a design engineering contract with RH2 on October 23, 2018.
The design phase was completed in December 2020 and subsequently submitted to the
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) for approval. Following WSDOT
approval, an advertisement for construction bids was published in the Wenatchee World on
March 9 and March 16, 2021. A public bid opening was held at City Hall on March 30, 2021
with four (4) contractors submitting bids. The lowest responsive bid was submitted by Hurst
Construction in the amount of $4,571,890.12.
City Council awarded the construction contract to Hurst Construction in the amount of
$4,571,890.12 on April 6, 2021. Following City Council approval, both WSDOT and TIB
approved Hurst Construction’s bid.
The proposed TIB Consultant Agreement will allow RH2 to perform services during

IX
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
The right is reserved by the AGENCY to terminate this AGREEMENT at any time
upon ten days written notice to the CONSULTANT.
In the event this AGREEMENT is terminated by the AGENCY other than for fault
on the part of the CONSULTANT, a final payment shall be made to the
CONSULTANT as shown in Exhibit F for the type of AGREEMENT used.
No payment shall be made for any work completed after ten days following
receipt by the CONSULTANT of the Notice of Termination. If the accumulated
payment made to the CONSULTANT prior to Notice of Termination exceeds the
total amount that would be due computed as set forth herein above, then no final
payment shall be due and the CONSULTANT shall immediately reimburse the
AGENCY for any excess paid.
In the event the services of the CONSULTANT are terminated by the AGENCY
for fault on the part of the CONSULTANT, the above formula for payment shall
not apply. In such an event, the amount to be paid shall be determined by the
AGENCY with consideration given to the actual costs incurred by the
CONSULTANT in performing the work to the date of termination, the amount of
work originally required which was satisfactorily completed to date of termination,
whether that work is in a form or a type which is usable to the AGENCY at the
time of termination; the cost to the AGENCY of employing another firm to
complete the work required and the time which maybe required to do so, and
other factors which affect the value to the AGENCY of the work performed at the
time of termination. Under no circumstances shall payment made under this
subsection exceed the amount which would have been made using the formula
set forth in the previous paragraph.
If it is determined for any reason that the CONSULTANT was not in default or
that the CONSULTANTs failure to perform is without it or its employees fault or
negligence, the termination shall be deemed to be a termination for the
convenience of the AGENCY in accordance with the provision of this
AGREEMENT.
In the event of the death of any member, partner or officer of the CONSULTANT
or any of its supervisory personnel assigned to the project, or, dissolution of the
partnership, termination of the corporation, or disaffiliation of the principally
involved employee, the surviving members of the CONSULTANT hereby agree
to complete the work under the terms of this AGREEMENT, if requested to do so
by the AGENCY. The subsection shall not be a bar to renegotiation of the
AGREEMENT between the surviving members of the CONSULTANT and the
AGENCY, if the AGENCY so chooses.
In the event of the death of any of the parties listed in the previous paragraph,
should the surviving members of the CONSULTANT, with the AGENCYs
concurrence, desire to terminate this AGREEMENT, payment shall be made as
set forth in the second paragraph of this section.
In the event this AGREEMENT is terminated prior to completion, the original
copies of all reports and other data, PS&E materials furnished to the
CONSULTANT by the AGENCY and documents prepared by the CONSULTANT
prior to said termination, shall become and remain the property of the AGENCY
and may be used by it without restriction. Such unrestricted use, not occurring as
a part of this PROJECT, shall be without liability or legal exposure to the
CONSULTANT.
Payment for any part of the work by the AGENCY shall not constitute a waiver by
the AGENCY of any remedies of any type it may have against the
CONSULTANT for any breach of this AGREEMENT by the CONSULTANT, or
for failure of the CONSULTANT to perform work required of it by the AGENCY.
Forbearance of any rights under the AGREEMENT will not constitute waiver of
entitlement to exercise those rights with respect to any future act or omission by
the CONSULTANT. X
CHANGES OF WORK
The CONSULTANT shall make such changes and revisions in the complete work
of this AGREEMENT as necessary to correct errors appearing therein, when
required to do so by the AGENCY, without additional compensation thereof.

Re: Addendum to proposal letter executed November 24, 2020: Strategic Plan Phase 2
Proposal
Dear Ms. Crawford:
Maul Foster & Alongi, Inc. (MFA) appreciates the opportunity to continue to assist the City of
East Wenatchee (City) with crafting your Strategic Plan. Over the past several months, MFA
has completed the first phase of the process, which included listening sessions with City council
members, staff, and community partners to better understand the perceptions of the City and
strategic areas of focus in the coming years. Based on this input, we have crafted a scope of
work and budget for phase two of the strategic planning process.
PHASE TWO SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1—Organizational Assessment
Task 1 focuses on identifying alternative staffing structures to address the internal
communication and organization issues raised in the staff and council interviews. MFA will
review the City’s current department structure to better understand how responsibilities are
divided. MFA will also review best practices and agency organization structures from cities of
similar size and develop up to three recommended alternative organizational structures for the
City’s consideration. MFA will collaborate with the Mayor regarding the challenges posed by
the current structure and ideas on potential alternatives throughout the assessment process.
Assumptions:
• This task includes up to three meetings with the Mayor and/or other City staff, as
directed by the Mayor.
Deliverable: Technical memo including recommended alternative structures presented as
organizational charts.

R:\1208.02 City of East Wenatchee\Contract\02_2021.04.01 Proposal\Pf_City of East Wenatchee Phase 2 Scope.docx
Task 2—Community Survey
A community survey will allow residents to provide feedback on the Strategic Plan and identify
additional areas of focus. MFA will coordinate with the City to develop an online survey and a
strategy for circulating the survey to residents to maximize participation. We will reach out to
community organizations like Our Valley Our Future, who have conducted successful
community surveys in the past to help us identify strategies to obtain robust participation.
Based on this input, MFA will craft public outreach resources, including key messaging and
sample social media posts to aide in circulating the survey.
• Senior Staff Workshop #1—MFA will facilitate a workshop with City staff to get
their input on what questions should be included in the survey. This will also be an
opportunity to coordinate with other upcoming survey efforts to limit survey
fatigue.
MFA will collect and analyze survey responses and prepare a summary presentation and survey
results fact sheet. Both materials will be used in the Strategic Plan development workshops to
ensure the survey input is integrated into the Strategic Plan.
Assumptions:
• The City will assist with circulating the online survey to residents and community
partner organizations.
Deliverable: Survey results presentation and fact sheet, raw survey data
Task 3—Strategic Plan Development
The Strategic Plan will be developed in stages, with each stage including an iterative process
where senior staff will be asked to participate in drafting Strategic Plan elements, followed by
MFA organizing and crafting a draft of each element. Finally, the draft content will be presented
to the City Council for feedback.
Mission, vision, goal area development: The first area of focus will be on the Strategic Plan
mission, vision, and goal areas. The existing mission and vision statements will be used as a
starting point for discussion. Goal areas are broad areas of focus, such as economic
development, organizational culture, financial, etc., informed by the listening sessions from the
previous Phase 1 effort. Each goal area will have specific goals, strategies, and actions associated
with it.
• Senior Staff Workshop #2—This MFA -facilitated workshop will consist of staff
being asked to consider the current mission and vision statements and suggest

potential revisions, and to review, comment on and discuss a list of potential goal
areas, prepared by MFA, based on the input received to date.
• Council Workshop #1—City Council will review the draft mission, vision and
goal areas reviewed and suggested out of the Senior Staff Workshop and provide
feedback on the draft language.
Goal and strategy development: Next, the strategic planning process will focus on
developing the goals and strategies for each goal area within the plan. Staff will be asked to
compile existing goals and strategies, when available, and draft proposed goals and strategies
prior to the workshops.
• Senior Staff Workshop #3—MFA will facilitate a workshop to review the staff-
developed goals and strategies. This will be an opportunity to hone the draft
language as well as to build consensus among staff around the proposed goals and
strategies.
• Council Workshop #2— City Council will review the draft goals and strategies
and provide feedback helping to identify items to add to the plan.
• Community Workshop—Community partner agencies will review the draft goals
and strategies and provide feedback, helping to identify items to add to the plan.
Draft Strategic Plan development: With the groundwork laid for the plan’s mission, vision,
goals, and strategies, MFA will draft the Strategic Plan and begin developing maps and graphics
to visually communicate key themes. Once a draft is complete, City staff will review and
provide feedback. After revisions are complete community members will have an opportunity
to weigh in. City Council will complete a final review of the draft document along with the
action plan created in Task 4 at the final Council Workshop.
• Community open house—MFA will work the with City to facilitate a community
open house to present and receive public input on the draft plan.
Assumptions:
• The City will provide all scheduling and logistics associated with the workshops.
• These workshops will be conducted using a virtual meeting platform (Zoom or
Teams).
• Two review cycles of the draft Strategic Plan in Microsoft® Word® format will be
completed.
• The final document(s) will be formatted in Adobe® InDesign®.

Deliverables: Workshop materials and summaries, two (2) versions of the draft Strategic Plan
Task 4—Annual Action Plan development
This task focuses on developing a shorter-term Annual Action Plan that will add tasks/actions,
responsible staff or department, and timelines for each strategy identified in the Strategic Plan
using a series of workshops, identified below. Staff will be asked to start developing potential
actions prior to the first workshop.
• Senior Staff Workshop #4—MFA will facilitate a workshop to discuss the action
items identified by staff. The workshop will help to build consensus around each
action and identify needs for interdepartmental coordination.
• Council Workshop #3—City Council will review the draft Annual Action Plan
and provide feedback.
• Senior Staff Workshop #5—Because of the detailed nature of the Annual Action
Plan, we anticipate a second staff workshop may be needed to review the updated
draft and to assign staff, departments and timelines to each action.
Draft Annual Action Plan development: MFA will draft the final Annual Action Plan based
on the results of the above workshops. The plan will be circulated to city staff for comment.
• Council Workshop #4—City Council will review the draft Strategic Plan and
Annual Action Plan and provide feedback to be used to finalize both documents.
Assumptions:
• The City will provide all scheduling and logistics associated with the workshops.
• These workshops will be conducted using a virtual meeting platform (Zoom or
Teams).
• Two review cycles of the draft Annual Action Plan in Microsoft® Word® format
will be completed.
• The final document(s) will be formatted in Adobe® InDesign®
Deliverables: Final Strategic Plan and the final Annual Action Plan

performed for other individuals or entities while it is under contract with CLIENT.
The parties further intend that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted as requiring MFA to assume the st atus

R:\1208.02 City of East Wenatchee\Document\01_2021.03.22 Interview Themes Memo\Mf_Interview Themes.docx
To: Mayor Jerrilea Crawford Date: March 22, 2021
From: Lisa Parks, Ben Johnson Project No.: 1208.02.01
RE: Strategic Plan Interview and Focus Group Themes
As a first step in the strategic planning process, MFA facilitated a total of 15 interviews with City of
East Wenatchee (City) senior staff and council members. Two focus group sessions were also held
with community partners identified by the City. The interviews and focus groups took place in January
and February of 2021. This engagement effort helped to identify the City’s strengths and things that
it could improve on. The themes from this initial engagement are summarized below along with
recommended next steps for the City to either address as a part of the strategic planning process or
consider as goals and objects to incorporate in the plan. More detailed notes from the interviews and
focus groups are attached in Appendix A.
THEMES
Managing growth: East Wenatchee and the entire region are growing in population and becoming
more diverse. Staff and community members identified several challenges related to managing growth
including:
• Increasing the City’s physical boundaries through annexation
• Providing City services
• Addressing infrastructure issues
• Coordinating with surrounding jurisdictions and organizations
• Engaging increasingly diverse residents
• Expanding the City Hall campus
• Increasing the housing supply, particularly for low- and middle-income people
Housing Affordability: The lack of available housing affordable to middle- and low-income
households is of utmost concern. Housing costs are increasing, but wages for existing jobs are not
growing and new family-wage jobs are not coming to the community. Most new residential
development consists of single-family homes with few apartments being built. High housing costs and
the limited supply of affordable units are contributing to increasing homelessness in the area.

R:\1208.02 City of East Wenatchee\Document\01_2021.03.22 Interview Themes Memo\Mf_Interview Themes.docx
Focused Economic Development: Staff and community partners would like to see more
commercial development in the City. There were many different ideas of what this would look like
including investment in the downtown area to incentivize new restaurant and retail amenities, tourism,
tech start-ups, and opportunities for light industrial development.
Solidify the City’s Identity and Branding: Most people felt the City lacks a clear brand or identity.
In the past, it has been thought of as being in the shadow of Wenatchee and as a bedroom community.
While there has been some effort to change this, the City could benefit from defining a clear, positive
identity.
Internal Communications and Organization: Staff and elected officials identified issues with
communication between departments and with the internal organization of departments and staff.
The City could increase efficiency and effectiveness by reorganizing and streamlining departments.
There is also some interest in consolidating services within the region.
Positive Momentum: Participants felt the newly elected leadership is more open to collaboration
that will help the City rise to new challenges and realize the opportunities associated with growth. The
City is also in a strong financial position to tackle future investment.
Role of the Strategic Plan: Participants want the Strategic Plan to provide clear goals to help create
alignment between council, staff, and the larger community. It can also be used as a management tool
to establish clear actions and assignments, track progress on key objectives, and to guide future
decision-making. Participants felt the Strategic Plan can also be used as a communication tool to
improve engagement between the City and community members.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our findings, we recommend the above themes be used as the starting point for creating
goals, strategies, and action items that will be addressed in the Strategic Plan. Additionally, the
following are recommendations the City may want to consider incorporating as specific action items
that will be addressed during the development of the Strategic Plan.
Organizational Assessment: To streamline departmental organization in the City, we recommend
the City complete an organizational assessment. The assessment would include a review of best
practices and alternative organizational structures for similar sized cities to identify departmental
configurations that improve communication and efficiency.
Branding/Identity Development: To address the lack of clear branding and identity, we
recommend the City undertake a brand and identity development effort. This could build on the vision
developed in the Strategic Plan and may include seeking additional public input about how the City is
perceived, what makes it unique, and residents’ vision for the future.

R:\1208.02 City of East Wenatchee\Document\01_2021.03.22 Interview Themes Memo\Mf_Interview Themes.docx
Consolidation of Services Analysis: To facilitate the discussion about consolidating government
services, we recommend the City convene local utility purveyors, agencies, and other cities’
management staff to better understand and identify where consolidation could be beneficial and
feasible.
DEI Program Assessment: To better engage the culturally diverse residents living in East
Wenatchee, we recommend a focused Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) assessment to help bring
clarity about the barriers to DEI and to identify specific strategies the City can implement to move
towards being more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
City Hall Expansion Study: Because space at City Hall is limited, we acknowledge and support the
current effort underway to study and plan for the expansion of the City Hall campus. It will be
important for the Strategic Plan to be considerate of and coordinated with this effort because new
goals and strategies may impact future staffing and facility needs.

Issues that need to be addressed

• Internal organization of departments.
− Too many direct reports to the mayor.
− Unusual department structure.
• Staff capacity.
• Better relationship between staff and council.
• Improve the logo.
• Financial policies are lacking.
• City codes are outdated.
EXTERNAL FOCUS GROUPS NOTES
Branding
• Up-and-coming growth allows for economies of scale and opportunity, more urbanized
services.
• Baggage with prior leadership: lawsuits, Confederate flags, Lee school name controversy.
• Mix of incomes: million-dollar homes and mobile homes.
• All residential development without any commercial development keeps city as bedroom
community to Wenatchee.
• Lacks amenities, community spaces, and mixed use (office, commercial) areas.
• Miss Veedol—happened to them, not because of them; need to declare who the community
wants to be. Miss Veedol does not communicate a vibrant community, and many people
don’t know what it is.
• More collaborative mayor now, first time some have been invited to participate.
• City has space and opportunity to build but could face power issues because utilities not
mutually held.
• Brand currently is “we’re not Wenatchee.”
• City has changed its posture to be more forward looking.
• Have become more approachable, relatable: community outreach, social media, “Coffee
with Crawford”.
• Open communication during police chief selection.
• Financially stable compared to other entities.
• Best view in the Valley.

Strengths
• Well managed, financially.
• New mayor is doing well; open to
approaching other agencies and collaborating.
• Eastmont school district is highly regarded.
• Staff is engaged and willing to work with
partners—they are on a good trajectory.
• Open to improving.
• No downtown, which takes a lot of resources
and energy, allows City to focus on other
things.
Weaknesses
• Too few restaurants and gathering spaces.
• Duplication of services: (e.g., Chiefs of
Police, Public Works directors) school
districts, (e.g., high schools could be shared),
need more regional services and social
services.
• Not able to use utilities as economic drivers
to incentivize development—not a full-
service city.
• Zoning for light industrial in the City doesn’t
exist, hard to invest in the City to promote
family-wage jobs as driver of economic
growth; there are some opportunities in the
unincorporated areas.
• Missing infrastructure issues (e.g., sidewalks,
sewer) staff is aware and is looking to
improve.
• Downtown core: new park and parking isn’t
welcoming, but could be with more social,
pedestrian friendly, businesses (coffee shop).
• Difficult to maintain the mall area with online
retail growth, how do you repurpose that area,
if necessary?
• Need to solidify the City’s identity.
• Disjointed transit, street networks make it
difficult to move people around.

R:\1208.02 City of East Wenatchee\Document\01_2021.03.22 Interview Themes Memo\Appendix A_Interview and Focus Group Notes.docx
Opportunities
• Outdoor recreation: able to grow these
amenities within the City, such as water and
beach access, trails, parks; currently no
champion for this effort, it is something the
community will support, and it can
accommodate tourists—bringing in tourism
can support other amenities.
• Cheap power subsidizes power rates, could be
used to help locate companies with family-
wage jobs, but to do this, local rates would
increase. Will the public support this?
• Create community gathering spaces (e.g.,
Pybus Public Market) for meetings, events;
the library is reimagining itself; schools are
designed for multiple public uses: training
centers, amenities for families, etc.
• The canal system could be opened as walking
and bike trails.
• Interest in coordinating with Wenatchee on
homelessness, mental health issues, and
affordable housing.
Threats
• Robert E. Lee School name controversy;
petition to boycott Wenatchee Valley because
of it, pressure from all over country to
change the name.
• Utilities are provided by independent
districts outside the city’s control, but they
are well managed.
• GMA population projections and expansion
of the UGA.
• Because it is a bedroom community
dependent on residential construction, the
city needs more commercial development.
• Homelessness issues, and the impact on trial
access and the perception of downtown.
• Housing affordability.
• Online shopping impacts on viability of mall
and causing reduced City revenues.
• Incoming growth.
− Implications are staggering from the
infrastructure perspective: roads, sewer,
water, especially in commercial areas.
− Urban development requires higher
density growth like Wenatchee’s higher
density area near mall is a major urban
area, but the city doesn’t view it this way;
need to resolve: does the city have an
urban vs. a rural perception?
− Should be proactive and prepared for
growth.
− Need for regional coordination of
growth, roads, utilities, transit.
• Industrial area connected to residential area
to north and into city this could create
conflicts.
• Flooding.
• Resilience, difficult to bounce back because
of location, distance from sources
(refineries, long detours, snow event and
milk shortage), solutions are challenging.

Regional trends
• Housing Affordability
− Example: owner of the Cascadian is raising rents, so 85 people are looking for housing.
− Homelessness: people living in RVs and outdoors.
− Disconnect between jobs and housing values; it’s a decent jobs market but not at wage
levels that match the cost of housing.
− Outside investors are purchasing properties.
− 75–80 mile commutes are necessary for people in need of cheaper housing.
− More housing needed across income spectrum; missing middle is a high priority for
public.
• Remote workers moving to the community.
• People experiencing mental health crises and substance abuse issues are coming to smaller
communities, and cities need services to support these issues.
• COVID fallout: post-eviction moratorium renters and landlords cannot pay; loss of
businesses.
• Automation in orchards will require higher tech workforce, could displace current workers,
coordination with colleges to train workers.
• Data centers (Douglas County and Chelan).
• Uncertainty with future revenues—unknown outlook (e.g., the Transportation
Improvement Board has less funds available.)
• Cost of public works projects is increasing exponentially, having to step back, scale back.
• Green fuel, moving away from petroleum fuels.
• Change in culture with growth; more diverse community and political views.
• Growth leads to increased need for more staff/resources; it is hard to find stable funding
sources for this.
• Aging infrastructure. Will there be financing to address this? Increased growth will
accelerate the need.
• Change in the retail market; the area is over-retailed based on the current trends, and what
will the impact be for big-box and other retailers?
• Impacts on tourism economic base, long-term impacts of decline in tourism.

#1 issue or opportunity
• Housing affordability: across the income spectrum, missing middle is a high priority for
the public.
• Keeping up with growth/making growth positive.
• Future city facilities could be strategically located to promote economic development.
• Improve the one-block stretch of downtown with adult bookstore and poker rooms).
• Create community gathering spaces (e.g., like Pybus Public Market) for meetings, events;
the library is reimagining itself, schools are designed for multiple public uses: training
centers, amenities for families, etc.
• Amenities for families.
• The school district has gained students.
• Connection between Wenatchee and East Wenatchee downtowns for pedestrians, INFRA
grant funding is being sought for a cross-highway pedestrian connection.
• Regionalization of services; look to OVOF, police services, public works, sewer.
• Industrial base will be important to help diversify the City beyond just residential.
• Get more proactive about economic development; there is an opportunity for the city to
be leaders.
• Viewed itself as financially stable but may not be like this with how things are changing
(online sales), E. Wenatchee and Costco.
• Staff turnover and retirements are concerning, need to replace these senior positions.
• New growth should pay for growth, but that often does not cover long-term
costs/operations.
• Replacement and maintenance costs of infrastructure.
Other thoughts
• Thank you for including us.
• There are people who want the community to stay the same and others who see
opportunity/growth.
• Douglas County is going to grow quickly with equal population, will reduce the
“have/have not” dynamic, less loss of identity.
• Tourism lacks a cohesive plan in Douglas County, and there is opportunity to direct
tourism growth.
• Leveraging government affairs at the Chamber, grow policy agenda for the region, increase
advocacy at state and national level.

• Transportation connectivity is important.
• The city needs to decide what it wants to be: an urban environment with a strong core? If
so, current development pattern is not consistent with that, making it difficult to serve;
there needs to be more consistency going forward.
• Degrading infrastructure needs to be addressed including through the relationship
between Douglas County and East Wenatchee: growth is occurring in county, which is
currently trying to figure out the right approach to financing infrastructure and relying on
new development—creates a need for a lot of coordination.
• Does the city want to compete or coordinate with Wenatchee? The duplication of services
needs to be addressed; many citizens view the Valley as one community and look for
opportunities for complimentary services.
• Define the city’s identity beyond “we’re not Wenatchee”.
• Growth is better than dealing with decline.
