City of Pasco to Host Public Feedback Sessions on LRA Housing

​The City of Pasco will host a series of public feedback sessions to gather input from residents before proposing updates to the Pasco Municipal Code and related policies for Essential Public Facilities. These include Less Restrictive Alternative (LRA) Housing and Secure Community Transition Facilities (SCTFs).
 
The goal of this effort is to create a process that preserves as much local control as allowed under state law while expanding opportunities for community input on proposed LRA Housing and SCTF applications. Under Washington State law, cities cannot ban these Essential Public Facilities or impose restrictions that would make it impossible to site them. However, cities can require certain steps in the application process, such as public hearings, and set some limits on where facilities can be located.
 
The City currently has a temporary moratorium on applications for Essential Public Facilities. For more information, visit: pasco-wa.gov/lrahousing
