MEMORANDUM
To: Kevin Fuhr, Interim City Manager
From: Madeline Prentice, Finance Director
Subject: 2023 1st Quarter Budget Revenue and Expenditure Report
I am pleased to submit the City of Moses Lake’s 2023 first quarter actual results compared to
budgeted revenue and expenditure report for all city funds. Beginning Fund Balances shown are
subject to final adjustments made as a result of the year-end closing process, which will not be
officially concluded until the State Auditor’s work is completed.
Overall, the City is performing as expected in many areas through the first quarter of 2023. At
the end of the first quarter, we are seeing typical variances tied to position vacancies and the
timing of expenses. We are continuing to see growth in sales tax, and as of the end of the 1st
quarter are 7.5% above budget. We ended the first quarter slightly under budgeted revenues
Citywide due to timing of revenues for charges for goods and services, intergovernmental
revenues and capital projects. Citywide expenses ended the first quarter under budget by 6.3%
due to underspending in most funds and capital projects not anticipated to be complete until later
in the year.
This report is summarized by type of fund, and reported by functional type, and includes the
following sections:

General Fund Revenue Analysis
Property Tax – The first half of the Property Tax assessment is due to the Grant County
Treasurer by April 30, and the second half is due October 31. The budget was set based on
assumptions of new construction and collection rates, and then discounted for collection
delinquencies. The second quarter results will include the first half collections of Property Tax
assessments.
Sales Tax – Actual sales tax at the end of the first quarter exceeded budgeted sales tax by $228k
(2.5%) but is down 10.9% over the same period in 2022 to end the quarter at $2.53 million.
Sales Tax-Public Safety—This represents the 0.3% Criminal Justice Tax. Collections for the
Public Safety sales tax for the first quarter are 29.4% of budget at $455 thousand and $89k
(24.5%) ahead of 2022.
Utility Tax – This revenue source experiences fluctuations either from rate adjustments or
seasonal usage. We ended the first quarter of the year 2.8% higher than budget at $1.02 million
and 9.6% higher than the same period in 2022. Increases in Water, Stormwater, Wastewater, and
Solid Waste were offset by decreases in telephone and cable TV utility taxes.

GENERAL FUND REVENUES

(Budget vs Actual - 25% of year)
COML Council Packet 7-25-23, Page 10 of 196
Gambling Taxes—This revenue stream is historically higher in the first half of the year. First
quarter revenues are exceeding budget by 2.7% and are 5.4% higher than the same time period in
2022. We ended the first quarter at $57k or 27.7% of budget.
Other Taxes—This consists of Leasehold Excise Tax and Admissions Tax. Through the first
quarter, Leasehold Excise tax is 49.4% below the same time period in 2022 and 1.2% behind
budget. Admissions Tax remains strong and ended the quarter at $10.7k or 42.8% of budget and
ahead of 2022 by 6.9%.
Licenses and Permits – This revenue is generated by the development community and is
difficult to budget because it is volatile by nature. 2023 first quarter results are at 27.6% of
budget, ending the quarter at $247k and ahead of first quarter 2022 by 23.3%.
Intergovernmental Revenue – This category includes State-shared revenue, the PUD privilege
tax, Criminal Justice funding and other grants. Due to the timing of payments, the category is
lagging budget by 8.5% at the end of the first quarter but is anticipated to catch up or exceed
budget by the end of the second quarter.
Charges for Goods and Services primarily consist of:
• Fees charged for Parks and Recreation Programs, and;
• School Resource Officers reimbursed by Moses Lake School District
The bulk of the fees charged for Parks and Recreation programs are received in the 3rd quarter of
the year. Activity and program fees for the first quarter are up over 2022, exceeding 2022
revenues by $54.6k or 60.6% largely due to the opening of the Larson Recreation Center but are
under budget by 7.5% at the end of the first quarter.
Fines and Penalties consist almost entirely of fines generated by the red-light camera program.
Changes in how tickets are processed through the County court system occurred earlier this year,
resulting in minimal citations being submitted/processed. Until the issues are fully resolved,
revenues are anticipated to remain below budget.
Miscellaneous Revenues include interest earnings on investments and facility rentals. Interest
earnings are significantly higher than budgeted, leading to Miscellaneous Revenues coming in at
$650k or 180.3% of budget through the first quarter. Facility rentals are down 5.4% from last
year, but we expect this to turn around by the end of the second quarter.
Other Financing Resources is made up primarily of the City Administrative fee charged to
funds for services provided by the executive branch and finance.
Summary --Overall, through the first quarter of the year, General Fund revenue is slightly below
budget at 20.9% or $6.5 million but is ahead of the same time period in 2022 by $318.5k or
5.2%. We anticipate being on or exceeding budget by the end of the second quarter.
COML Council Packet 7-25-23, Page 11 of 196
General Fund Expenditure Analysis
In total, General Fund Expenditures for the first quarter of the year are essentially on budget at
25.2% but increased by 35.1% over the same period in 2022. This increase consists primarily of
salaries/benefits and overtime costs (40.2%) as well as increases in supplies and professional
services costs (38.0%).
Since General Fund is over 60% staffing, events affecting total payroll have a significant impact
on budgets. Position vacancies may start out being an “overage” because of the cashout of
earned accrued leave balances, but then can produce savings when the position is vacant for any
length of time. Most variances in individual divisions are the result of increased staffing,
overtime or additional professional services.
The Legislative budget is 6.0% over budget, largely due to increased travel, registration, and
membership costs.
The Police budget is up slightly due to overtime as the Police Department filled in security for
the Homeless Sleep Center until a contract with a security company could be negotiated. Some
of the overtime costs will be reimbursed through the Homeless Center grant funds.
All other General Fund budgets are at varying levels compared to budget.
Conclusion—General Fund at the end of the first quarter is on budget at 25.2% of adopted
budget in expenditures. Sales Tax and Criminal Justice tax offset revenues that are more
unpredictable and cyclical in nature. As of the end of March, general fund reserves decreased by
$2.3 million. We anticipate reserves to rebound and show a net gain by the end of the second
quarter.

Other Funds Analysis
Variances in capital funds are related to timing of major projects, as well as capital components
in operating funds (such as Building Maintenance, Fleet Maintenance, Central Services and
Stormwater capital projects/purchases). Debt Service funds primarily only have interest
payments due in the first half of the year—principal payments are typically scheduled for later in
the year so the fund can build up the necessary balance. Property and liability insurance
premiums are due at the first of the year, so the Risk Management fund is overspent during the
year and corrects by the end of the year.
Hotel/Motel tax ended the quarter essentially on budget at $166k or 24.4% and 15.8% above first
quarter 2022. Expenditures are below budget but most expenses are paid out later in the year.
Homeless Services is under budget in both revenues and expenses due to timing of requesting
reimbursement on the grants and invoices received for payment. Additionally, as the Homeless
shelter location continues to be discussed/reviewed, the ARPA funds allocated for the project
have not been spent.

Water/Wastewater Fund revenues typically increase during the hotter months, as more water is
used for irrigating. Revenues and expenditures are both slightly under budget at 21.8% and
21.2% respectively.
The Sanitation Fund is 2.5% above budget in revenues, ending the quarter at $1.4 million.
Expenses are under budget by 7.7% at the end of the first quarter, but extra pickups during the
spring and summer months will likely reduce this gap.
The Ambulance fund is on budget in revenues, but over budget in expenses. We will be doing a
thorough analysis of the staff coding of salaries/benefits to ensure that costs are being captured
accurately in the correct budget. Additionally, the first quarter budget amendment for the AWC
grant has not been reflected in the budget yet.
Equipment Rental/Fleet Maintenance is at 34.4% in revenue due to sales of surplus vehicles.
Expenses are over budget due to a number of capital purchases from 2022 were not received
until early 2023. We will re-evaluate the budget and bring a budget amendment to Council for
consideration if necessary.
Conclusion
Overall, 2023 Citywide results through the first quarter are as expected. First quarter revenues
ended at $19.8 million or 20.2%, slightly below budget but 8.6% or $1.56 million ahead of first
quarter 2022. Most variances are related to normal timing. Citywide expenses are under budget
by 18.8% ending the quarter at $21.1 million. All funds have positive fund balances at the end
of the first quarter with a net use of Citywide fund balance of $1.3 million. Second quarter
preliminary results are showing an increase in fund balance which will result in an overall
increase in fund balance reserves.

No Action Taken:
RCW 42.24 governs the process for audit and review of claims and payroll payments for the City. RCW
42.24.180 requires the review and approval of all payments at a regularly scheduled public meeting on at
least a monthly basis. The State Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting Systems (BARS) Manual outlines the
above format for approval by the City Council.
RCW 42.24.080 requires that all claims presented against the City by persons furnishing materials, rendering
services or performing labor must be certified by the appropriate official to ensure that the materials have
been furnished, the services rendered, or the labor performed as described, and that the claims are just, due
and unpaid obligations against the City.
RCW 42.24.180 allows expedited processing of the payment of claims when certain conditions have been
met. The statute allows the issuance of warrants or checks in payment of claims before the legislative body
has acted to approve the claims when: (1) the appropriate officers have furnished official bonds; (2) the
legislative body had adopted policies that implement effective internal control; (3) the legislative body has
provided for review of the documentation supporting the claims within a month of issuance; and (4) that if
claims are disapproved, they shall be recognized as receivables and diligently pursued.
The City meets all these conditions.
To comply with the requirements, Finance staff schedule payment of claims and payroll for semi-monthly Council
approval on the Consent Agenda. The payments listed in the schedule cover all claims and payroll payments
during the period prior to the date of the Council meeting.
All payments made during this period were found to be valid claims against the City. Details are attached and
any questions should be directed to the City Manager or Finance Director.
The City's internal controls include certification of the validity of all payments by the appropriate department prior
to submission for payment. The Finance Director has delegated authority for the examination of vouchers and
authorization of payments to the Finance, Accounts Payable, and Payroll staff. All payments are reviewed and
validated. The Finance Division regularly reviews it processes to ensure appropriate internal controls are in
place.

Wheeler Road Sinkhole Emergency.pdf 96.23KB
On Thursday, July 13, 2023, City staff became aware of a sinkhole in the westbound outside lane of Wheeler
Road, east of Block Street, and attempted an initial repair through the placement of over two cubic feet of cold
mix asphalt. City staff also utilized a camera to review the stormwater mainline which runs below the sinkhole.
The camera review identified a past failure, which had attempted to be repaired by placement of a larger
diameter concrete pipe to cover the broken section. The invert of the line was not repaired, resulting in
stormwater eroding the material around the broken pipe, creating a large void, which is believed to be the cause
of the sinkhole.
Throughout the week of July 17, 2023, City staff has on multiple occasions installed cold mix to temporarily
repair the roadway.
The sudden appearance of a sinkhole on a main arterial roadway was an unforeseen circumstance beyond the
control of the City, and its placement directly within a wheel path created an emergency condition for the citizens
of the City. The appearance and recurrence of said sinkhole presents a real, immediate threat to the health,
safety, and welfare of the City of Moses Lake, including material loss and damage to property or bodily injury or
harm.
The "Expenditure Required" listed above is a project estimate, provided by Interim Streets Manager Brad
Mitchell, which includes engineering design and construction cost.

The City of Moses Lake is a code city operating under the authority of Chapter 35A
RCW.
The City, under Title 35A.11 RCW and RCW 35A.13.230, has “… any authority
ever given to any class of municipality or to all municipalities of this state…”
The City has the authority to commence a public work without complying with the
statutory bid requirements in an emergency situation under the authority given by
RCW 35.22.620(6), RCW 39.04.280, and other Washington law.
On Thursday, July 13, 2023, City staff became aware of a sinkhole in the westbound
outside lane of Wheeler Road, east of Block Street, and attempted an initial repair
through the placement of over two cubic feet of cold mix asphalt. City staff also
utilized a camera to review the stormwater mainline which runs below the sinkhole.
The camera review identified a past failure, which had attempted to be repaired by
placement of a larger diameter concrete pipe to cover the broken section. The invert
of the line was not repaired, resulting in stormwater eroding the material around the
broken pipe, creating a large void, which is believed to be the cause of the sinkhole.
On Monday, July 17, 2023 City staff again installed cold mix to repair the roadway.
The sudden appearance of a sinkhole on a main arterial roadway was an unforeseen
circumstance beyond the control of the City, and its placement directly within a
wheel path created an emergency condition for the citizens of the City. The
appearance and recurrence of said sinkhole presents a real, immediate threat to the
health, safety, and welfare of the City of Moses Lake, including material loss and
damage to property or bodily injury or harm.
Therefore, an emergency exists, and complying with statutory bid requirements
would unnecessarily delay the completion of delivery and installation of
replacement traffic control equipment, and any increased costs associated with
waiving the competitive bidding process will be outweighed by the costs associated
with the traffic control equipment being out of service for an extended period.
There are sufficient unexpended monies available for repairs in the appropriate
street account to complete the repairs.
Resolved
1.
2.
3.
An emergency exists due to the recent appearance of a sinkhole on Wheeler Road,
and it is imperative to implement a permanent repair as quickly as possible to
preserve and protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare, and to prevent property
damage and bodily injury.
Because an emergency exists, under the laws of the state of Washington, the
statutory bid requirements are dispensed with and waived for Wheeler Road repairs.
This emergency condition was caused by the appearance of a sinkhole on Wheeler
Road on July 13, 2023. Information has been delivered to Contractors in the area
that are capable and qualified to perform this public work. Any and all actions taken
by the Interim City Manager prior to July 25, 2023 in connection with this
emergency and roadway repair work, including the selection of any Contractors and
the execution of any contracts and other necessary documents, are hereby approved,
confirmed, and ratified.

for recruiting lateral officers to come to the MLPD.
Packet Attachments (if any) Signing Bonus Memo.docx
Overview
On May 8, 2017, a memo was approved by a former city manager allowing for signing bonuses and
"sponsorship" bonuses when a current MLPD officer recruits a lateral officer to come to work for MLPD. Since 2017,
bonuses have been given to lateral officers and at least one recruiting officer.
In 2022, a current MLPD officer recruited a lateral officer from a local agency and the lateral officer received the signing
bonus. When I submitted for the MLPD officer to receive the "sponsorship" bonus, it was denied due to the bonus not
being approved by the Council.
This request, along with the attached memo from 2017, is to establish a "sponsorship" bonus for officers to recruit qualified
lateral officers.

Reference: Lateral Applicant Signing Bonus
Over the past several months we have felt the stain of having had several officers leave our department to go to other departments for various reasons. We are currently down one position vacated by Sergeant Montgomery and last week I received the resignation memo from Officer Loera advising me that he will be retiring in mid August. We also have three officers currently seeking employment elsewhere for personal reasons.
Finding qualified law enforcement officers in this current market is extremely difficult. We are competing with larger agencies in both Eastern and Western Washington that pay higher wages with more opportunities for officers. Many of these agencies are offering a “signing bonus” making it more attractive for qualified lateral candidates to join their departments. I would like to offer the same incentive to join the Moses Lake Police Department. My request is that starting immediately we offer a $5000.00 signing bonus to any qualified lateral candidate. The signing bonus would be paid out in two payments, $2500.00 when they begin employment with
the department and the additional $2500.00 upon completion of their probationary period. To be qualified the candidate must have at least 12 months of continuous law enforcement as a peace officer and have previously completed a basic law enforcement academy in this state or in another state. The qualified lateral candidate must meet the requirements set forth in WAC 139-05-210 to attend the basic law enforcement
equivalency academy. By offering a signing bonus the department will save the $5000.00 academy costs, while at the same time saving
the 5 months of salary that the officer would be earning while attending the academy, which would amount to over $20,000.00 in salary savings.
Lastly, I would request the ability to pay our officers an incentive for recruiting qualified lateral applicants. My request is that if a MLPD officer “sponsors” a lateral applicant that is hired, the MLPD officer would receive a $1000.00 bonus upon completion of the sponsored officer’s probationary period. This incentive would hopefully prompt our officers to talk to their friends, family and colleagues about join the MLPD.

SCOPE OF WORK
CITY OF MOSES LAKE
WELL 34 TREATMENT PROJECT ADDITIONAL TESTING
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Gray & Osborne is currently under contract with the City of Moses Lake to perform a
pilot test for treating iron and manganese at Well 34. During the initial discussions of the
pilot study, it was decided that some additional testing will occur during the pilot study
including microscopic particulate analysis (MPA) and per- and polyfluoralkyl substances
(PFAs). The MPA sampling is proposed since the well is shallow, while the PFAs
sampling is due to PFAs in other City wells.
This scope of work further assumes the following:
• City of Moses Lake staff will coordinate with Gray & Osborne to collect
the PFAs sample during the pilot study when the temporary well is in
place.
• City staff will collect the PFAs sample and be responsible for shipping the
sample to the lab of their choice. The City will share the results of the test
with Gray & Osborne for inclusion into the pilot study report.
• Gray & Osborne will be responsible for MPA testing including obtaining
the sampling equipment, taking the sample, and shipping the sample to the
lab. The lab is in the Puget Sound area and it is anticipated that the
sample will immediately be driven from Moses Lake to the lab after
sampling.
• The MPA sampling will occur during the pilot study when the temporary
pump is in place. The laboratory cost of the MPA analysis will be
included in this scope amendment.
Professional design services for this work will be provided in accordance with the tasks
outlined below.
Task 1 – Microscopic Particulate Sampling
Gray & Osborne will perform MPA sampling during the pilot study.

During the City Council meeting of July 11, 2023, staff provided an update on the progress of the
Development Code rewrite, and also shared next steps in the development of a Public Participation Plan
(PPP) to be utilized during the final stages of the rewrite. Council is now being asked to provide feedback
on the Draft PPP.

A draft Public Participation Plan (PPP) for the development code rewrite has been attached for Council's
review and consideration.
The Planning Commission reviewed the PPP during their meeting of July 13, 2023, at the conclusion of
which they forwarded a recommendation of approval of the PPP. The Commission also expressed the
desire to keep the plan a living document that can be added to, as new suggestions for outreach are
proposed. As such, Staff is not presenting this today for adoption, but will continue to solicit feedback on
the PPP and bring it back to Council for formal adoption within the next couple of months.
Also attached to this report is the “Working Code Outline”, which depicts the status of each section of the
new Code.
Adoption of development regulations that are aligned with the 2021 Comprehensive Plan will bring the City into
compliance with the Growth Management Act requirements outlined in RCW 36.70A.130, as will adoption of a

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN
DEVELOPMENT CODE REWRITE
INTRODUCTION
Following adoption of the City of Moses Lake Comprehensive Plan in late 2021, and upon
guidance from the Department of Commerce, the City then began to formulate plans for
updating the Development Code regulations into One unified Development Code. At present,
the applicable code provisions are broken out into several section of the Municipal Code,
specifically in Titles 14 through 20. The intention with a new code is to combine all
development regulations into one Title.
The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires local governments to create and broadly
disseminate a Public Participation Plan.
The purpose of this Plan is to identify the desired outcomes of the City of Moses Lakes’ public
participation plan, the approach, audiences, schedule and opportunities for public
participation. This document may be updated over time to reflect the needs that arise during
the update project, and the experience in early outreach, to ensure that public participation is
effective.
THE GOAL
The City’s overarching goal is to adopt a “Unified Development Code” containing simplified
land use regulations, and which has been developed in a transparent process after providing
opportunities for wide public participation.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION OUTCOMES
The public participation effort is intended to achieve specific desired outcomes, which include:
• A public involvement process that provides clear information to the public on the purpose
of the Development Code and how the update process works;
• Public meetings and events designed to provide opportunities for all interested parties to
be heard, and for people to listen and learn from one another;
• Broad participation of all interested groups and individuals regardless of point of view;
• A transparent process which clearly documents all public input and makes it available for
any and all to review; and

• Improve the decision making process to include the interests and needs of stakeholders

Community Development Department
City of Moses Lake Community Development staff will oversee any stakeholder groups that
are formed, volunteers, consultants, and other members of the City’s staff on the development
code update. Community Development staff will facilitate public meetings; coordinate events
and activities; and present draft materials to the Planning Commission and City Council for
review. They will revise documents as needed and provide all materials to Planning
Commissioners and City Council members in a timely manner.
Role of the Public
Through the community outreach efforts, the Development Code update will be a reflection of
the community’s core values and will be written to assist the community and City staff in
meeting common goals. The Development Code will be a reflection of the community’s core
values, ideas, and policy objectives already identified in the Comprehensive Plan, and
identified during the Code update process.
During the update process it is important to retain the public’s interest by making community
participation as accessible as possible. The process will be driven by the community and
guided by City staff and any stakeholder groups that are formed. Community participation will
be accomplished by employing a variety of community outreach tools; and using a diverse
communication tools to provide information and to engage with the community
METHODS AND TOOLS
Techniques for public participation vary in scale, technology, structure, and timing. Our
community members are busy and active people. In order to get broad representation, we will
bring activities to the places where they are already going. Bringing information and asking for
input in neutral locations will also help to ensure that community members feel comfortable
expressing their ideas. The City also recognizes that to involve all community members a
variety of outreach methods and communication tools must be used throughout the update
process.
The following is a list of community outreach methods and communication tools that will be
used to foster broad and ongoing community involvement, collect community input, and
provide information to the community. These are not meant to be exhaustive lists; as the
process unfolds and the community engages in the process and shares ideas these lists will
be expanded upon.

This is an introduction to the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Cycle. Council is being asked to review the
proposals that have been submitted to the Community Development Department (as required for scheduling)
and determine which proposals are ready to move forward for further consideration. The list of proposals moving
forward will be the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket.
CP Docket Exhibits A-E.pdf 15.19MB
CP Docket Exhibits F-J r.pdf 4.36MB
Comprehensive Plan Amendments. The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA), governed by
RCW 36.70A.GMA, requires counties and cities to periodically conduct a thorough review of their
comprehensive plans (Plan) and regulations to bring them in line with any relevant changes in the GMA and to
accommodate updated policies and growth targets. The Plan is the City’s official policy statement concerning its
vision for future growth and development.
The City of Moses Lake’s periodic update of its Plan was adopted in 2021. Thereafter, the City is allowed to
amend its Comprehensive Plan one time each year. Amendments may be proposed by any member of the
community, City Council member, City Commission, or City Staff.
Upon completing this introduction and docketing by City Council, the Community Development Department will
have direction and commence the amendment processing cycle. Each proposal will be evaluated and a detailed
analysis prepared subject to the City’s regulations as well as the0 State regulations for amendment. Differing
docketed amendments have differing appliable standards for analysis. These will be brought forward within the
public participation opportunities, including the SEPA review and the public hearing that will be held before the
Planning Commission. The final report, including the recommendation from the Planning Commission, will be
presented to City Council as the final decision maker. A public hearing will be held before City Council, with a
staff report including the information which supports the recommendations of the Planning Commission. AnyCOML Council Packet 7-25-23, Page 61 of 196
amendments approved by City Council will be accomplished through an adopting ordinance.
Council is authorized to docket only those proposed amendments that it deems are ready for review during the
annual review process. The following requests have been submitted for the 2023 docket and meet the
requirements to be considered by City Council. Exhibit I is provided to assist Council in the decision-making
process.
Proposal 23-01 This request was submitted by Dan Herring to amend the Urban Growth Boundary, adding
19.34 acres to be designated Low Density, Single-Family Residential Land. The parcel is located adjacent to the
current corporate city limits in Mae Valley, north of Sun Terrace 6 and 7 Major Subdivisions. Expansion of the
UGA is approved by Grant County and is processed consecutively. The starting point of process is by the City
of Moses Lake.
See Exhibit A.
Proposal 23-02 This request was submitted by Houston Aho to amend the Urban Growth Boundary, adding
162.31 acres and change the land use designation from Resource Lands-Agriculture Irrigated to Urban
Residential 2 (UR2). These parcels are located in the East ½ of Section 3, Township 18, Range 28 EWM, east
and south of the Pelican Point neighborhood, and south of Dune Lakes Rd. Although unnecessary for
consideration of the UGA expansion, the applicant has proposed the area be uses as 22 acres of commercial
area, 18 acres of open space, and 35 acres new streets/right of way, and 87 acres of single family residential to
be divided into approximately 431 lots with an average size of around 8,000 square feet. Information regarding
the final goals and objectives of the applicant with UGA expansion is appreciated.
See Exhibit B.
Proposal 23-03 This request was submitted by Houston Aho to amend the Urban Growth Boundary, adding
638.24 acres and change the land use designation from Resource Lands-Agriculture to Urban Residential 2[1].
These parcels are located predominantly between Sand Dunes Rd SE and Dune Lakes Rd Se, east of the Dune
Lakes Planned Unit Development, and west of Potato Hill Rd., in Sections 9 and 10 of T18R28 EWM. The
applicant has proposed new residential development on these parcels.
See Exhibit C.
Proposal 23-04 This request was submitted by Serge Pashovsky and Kameron Jones. The applicants are
requesting a land use designation change from Residential Medium density to Gateway Commercial and the
corresponding zone change from R2-Single and Two Family Residential to C2-Commercial within the City limits
of Moses Lake. The two parcels combined make up 3.73 acres and are located across the street from Blue
Heron Park at the intersection of Westshore Dr and Westlake Rd.
See Exhibit D
Proposal 23-05 This request was submitted by Sean Jenks. The applicant is requesting to change the land use
designation from Medium Density Residential to High Density Residential with the corresponding zone change
from R-2 Single and Two Family Residential to R3-Multi-Family Residential. The parcel is .63 acres and is
located on Evelyn Dr across the street from Paul Lauzier Park within the City of Moses Lake.
See Exhibit E
Proposal 23-06 This request was submitted by the Public Works Department. Public Works has proposed

Proposal 23-07 The Planning Division has submitted a request for text and map amendment to the Plan to
delete and/or reconcile references to the Area 5 removal from the Urban Growth Boundary. This is necessary to
ensure consistency with the objectives of the City and remove contradictions.
See Exhibit G
https://cityofml.com/DocumentCenter/View/9697/AppxA-UGA-Amendments-
Proposal 23-08 The Planning Division has submitted a request to make map amendments to the Gateway
Commercial designations on the Future Land Use Map to better place the land use designation. See Exhibit G.1
https://cityofml.com/DocumentCenter/View/9697/AppxA-UGA-Amendments-
Proposal 23-09 The Planning Division has submitted a request to make amendments to the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) within the Capital Facilities Plan Appendix. This is conducted annually and can be in
conjunction with the financial – budget cycle for project development and expenditure. The CIP is sensitive to
shorter time periods differing from the 20-year Capital Facilities Element, but both must be consistent. This is
the update of the CIP. The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is the Cities planning and fiscal management tool
used to coordinate the location, timing, and financing of capital improvements over a multi-year period.
See Exhibit H
https://cityofml.com/DocumentCenter/View/9698/AppxC-Capital-Facilities-Plan
Proposal 23-10 The Planning Division has submitted a request to make a text amendment removing references
to the Transitional Center as it has since been determined by City Council to not move forward with constructing
the Transitional Center.
[1] Resource Lands-Agriculture and Urban Residential 2 are Grant County land use designations. Per the Grant
County UDC, the UR2 Purpose Statement is: The Urban Residential 2 (UR2) zoning district is established within
urban growth areas to provide for low density, single-, two-, and multi-family residential development in areas:
(1) adjacent to areas having higher residential densities; (2) with good transportation access from and to urban
centers; (3) where urban governmental services are either available or can be provided in the future; or (4)
where residential uses can function on interim utility systems until municipal utility services are extended.
Fiscal and policy implications will be determined when comprehensive plan amendments are reviewed through
the public process.
Options and Results
Determine which requests will move forward through the public review process.
Staff will bring back options for recommended changes.
The City will not review Comprehensive Plan Amendments in 2023.

C.ounty.
Dear Grant County aiid City of Mosss Lake,
Mr, Dan Herring, on behalf of Herring Farm NWQ, LLC is requesting to complete a comprehensive plan
ghangeto Grant County and the City of Moses Lake in order to be included within the Urban GrowthArea
(UGA)BoundaryoftheCityofMosesLake. Oncetheamendmenthasbeengranted,thepmponentintends
to request annexation into the City of Moses Lake and will request zoning that would match coiitiguous
properties to the South for residential development.
TheCityofMoses Lake ComprehensivePlari makes reference tothe largetracts ofpmperties locatedwithin
ihe Mae Valley mta as ideal locations for Jargetracts ofdev6top@ble property, The ab6re mentioned patcel
js one suclx tract of land, The incorporated city limits and its utilities ia currently 16cated nloff@the South
boundaty of the pmel. Botb the (3ity'and eounty Comprehensive Plaffs ihdioatei that devel6prii6ft nfid
inclusion with the UOA boundary should be dependent on where; existing utilities are and where inclusion
imo City limits would be contiguous to existing boundaries. Please rerer to the attached site location
mapping forreference, Thisrequestwould altgnthe projectintentwithboth comprehensive plans and goals.
In order to complete this densit and type of development, as well as connectto City utilities, the first step
is to incorporate into the UGA boundag.
The proposaf would not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare. With the assumption that
Grant County wi]l be the lead agency o.n; the prqjept, Jl SEPA achecklist has been completed with the
proposal, Completion of this request wtll be th6 first step iti allowing for the opportun'ity to develop the
property to City of Moses Lake design standards for tlie creation and development of residential lots for
resale. The community as El whole would benefitfrom additional new construction of residential houses in
the fttture, This change !s we,rranted because of a need for additional property m the proposed land-use
destgnation in order to match residential constr'uction demand. Growth in industrial and commercial
development in the area dictates a growing need for additiorial residential deve)opment to provide
affordable housing in different income based price points.

Memorandum
DATE:March 30, 2022
TO:City of Moses Lake, Community Development Department
FROM:Ryan Billen, PE, PBS Engineering and Environmental
PROJECT: 66361.000, Phase 0001
REGARDING: Application for Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Dune Lakes Phase II Project
PBS Engineering and Environmental is providing this narrative as an attachment to the Application for
Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Dune Lake Phase II development in Moses Lake. PBS is acting engineer
on behalf of Aho Construction for this project.
Proposed Amendment
The proposed addition of 162.31 acres to the Moses Lake Urban Growth Area (UGA) and to re-designate parcels
170071000, 170071001, and 170073001 from Irrigated Agricultural to Residential Low Density and that the parcel's
zone change from agricultural (AG) to UGA - Urban Residential 2 (UR2) to match and complement the
surrounding parcels uses and zone. Figures 3 and 5 depicts the proposed land use designations and zoning.
The current UGB for the city of Moses Lake is immediately to the north and west of the proposal area. The
proposed amendment is consistent with both the City and County Comprehensive Plans. This request would
align the project intent with both comprehensive plans and their goals.
The proposal would not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the public. A SEPA checklist has been
completed with the proposal. Potential impacts and upgrades to the transportation network and services could
require mitigation through studies to be performed during the subdivision process, Additionally, it is anticipated
that the benefits to the inclusion of Dune Lake Phase II development within the UGA boundaries will outweigh
any impacts created by this change and will comply with applicable code standards.
Dune Lakes Phase II
Dune Lakes Phase II consists of162.3l acres of new residential and commercial development on parcels
170071000, 170071001, and 170073001 in Grant County, Washington. The subject site is depicted in Figurel. The
project is located directly to the east of the existing Dune Lake Phase I development. The proposed development
includes approximately 87 acres for single family residences, 22 acres of commercial area, 18 acres of open space,
and 35 acres of new roadways/right of way. The 87 acres of single family residential would be divided into
approximately 431 lots with an average size of around 8,000 square feet.
The existing land use within the proposed development area consists of irrigated agricultural fields and farming
operation buildings. Current land use can be found on Figure 2. The commercial element is conceptual in nature
and is anticipated to be platted at a later date. Commercial uses may include retail, office, mini storage, or boat/
RV storage. Figure 3 contains the proposed land use for the three parcels. In addition, this application is

requesting to change the zone for the parcels from agricultural (AG) to UGA - Urban Residential 2 (UR2) to match
arid complement the surrounding parcels zone. Figure 3 depicts the current zoning.
Approval of this request will be the first step in allowing for the opportunity to develop the property to City of
Moses Lake design standards for the creation and development of low-density residential 1ots for resale. The
community as a whole would benefit from the creation of new residential property in the future. This proposal is
requested because of a need for additional property in the proposed land-use designation in order to match
residential construction demand. Growth in the region indicates a growing need for additional residential
development to provide affordable housing in different income-based price points. Dune Lake Phase II
development is located just south of existing services and boundaries which would create a natural extension of
those services.

I Please provide the folfowjng information (attach additionalpages if necessary)?lann:tlg ar')d Building,l ,
1. Provide a detailed statement of what is proposed to be changed and why -II, The first part of the proposal is to change the land use designation of parcels alal0475l68 and '11042400'1 from medium-density l
residential to genera] commercial. The second part of the requests is to change the zoning of the two parcels from I'l Residential 2 to Commercia[ 2. The request is to allow a larger area for commercial development of the property. The Mae I
I Valley area is in need of commercial development to meet the needs of the residents living in Mae VaJJey.II
III
II II
I
2. Provide a statement of anticipated impacts to be caused by the change, including geographic area affected and
issues presented -
The proposed change wlll Increase the amount of commercially zoned property in the Mae Valley area by approximately 2.4 acres,
l'
The subJect property Is adJacent to property that Is currently zoned commerdal. The proposed change would increase the slze of the IIcommercial properties and likely increase the types of cornrnercial uses for the properties. Any adverse impacts that my result IIfrom commercial deve)opment can be addressed during development review. The geographic area affected would be I
the Mae Valley area that could be served by the commercial development of the subject property, therefore reducing the I
number of vehicle trips to other parts of Moses Lake.I
3. Provide a demonstration of why an existing comprehensive plan goal, polEcy, or recommendation should be
continued to be in effect or why an existing goal, policy, or recommendation no longer applies -
' Land Use Policy Policy 3.3.3; Allow approprtately scaled uses that support residential neighborhoods such as schools,Ire(igious institutions, home occupations, small-scale neighborhood commercial uses.I
Land Use Pollcy 3.4.2; Enhance the character, function, and economic vitality of Moses Lake's gstsway corridors (routes into/out of I
Downtown from 1-90 and other high visibility commercial corridors). These two land use policies support commercial I
development in residential neighborhoods and along Interstate-90. The subject parcels are adjacent to a residential I
neighborhood and near an off-ramp of 1-9€. These two policies should remain In effect and support tlie proposed requests I
to change the [and use designation and zonlng of the two parcels.
4. Provide a statement of how the amendment complies with the comprehensive plan's community vision
statement, goals, objectives, and policy directives -
Expanding the commercial ares of these two pancels by changlng the land use designatlon and zonlng to commercial will comply wlth
the vlsion statement by encouraging revltllization of the City's commercial areas by addlng a mlx of uses. The proposal to expand the
commerclal zonlng of the properties meets the Intent Transportatlon Policy 6.3.2 by mlnlmlzing the demand for travel by provlding a mixture of compatible and
complimentary uses next to each other.

Heron Park and nortl'i of Interstate-90. The combined area of the two parcels is approximately 3.7 acres.
No site development is planned at this time.
The parcels liave frontage on, and are accessible from, Westlake Road and Westshore Drive. The parcels
ha've a split zoning with the southern approxffiately 150' zone4 Con'unercial 2 with the northern remainder
zoned Residential 2. Tlie request for the site-specific rezone to Conu'nercial 2 would allow for commercial
development of the entire 3.7 acres. The parcels are not in the 100-year flood zone. The WDFW priority
liabitat species map sliows two areas of ii'iterest on the properties. Tl'ie DAIt-IP Wissard website shows no

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid"nrcs"l42p2053951 ).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Llpdated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.
The u.s. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its
programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability,
and where applicable, sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, religion,
sexual orientation, genetic information, political beliefs, reprisal, or because all or a

all prohibited bases apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit deiineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soit or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classiffcatlon of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic c[ass.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
iricluding areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soi[s or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soi!s.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
tnap unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas or strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that It
was Impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components In a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufflclentinformation for the
development of resource plans. Ifintensive use of small areas is planned, however,
8 COML Council Packet 7-25-23, Page 114 of 196
Custom Soll Resource Report
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have proTi1es that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt foam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such sma]l areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or misce[laneous areas are somewhat simifar
in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscelIaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha-Beta association, O to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or mlscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management, The pattern and proportion
of the soi[s or miscel)aneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made,up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have )ittle or no soil
materiat and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PETITION
Amendment Information: The merits of a proposed amendment shall be measured against the
petition submittalrequirements listedbelow to ensure consistency in the reviewanddecision-making,
Please provide the following information (attach additional pages if rrecessary):
1, Provide a detailed statement of what is proposed to be changed and why -
The proposal is to change the adopted Future Land Use Desfgnatlon and Zone Deslgnatlon of Parcel # 1 t0752000 from Medium Density Residential
and R-2 to High Density residential and R-3 respectiveiy. The change is proposed sought in order to Increase the density and provide a land use
that is more compatible with edja>nt R-3, Multi-Family and C-2, General Commercial zoning.
2. Provide a statement of anticipated impacts to be caused by the change, including geographic area affected and
issues presented -
Potential Impams caused by the changes requested revolve around increased density and housing units. Most likely impact caused by the
change is vehicular trip generatlon. Given the scale of the site, the additional trip generatlon would tx. marginal. The current R-2 zone has a
general range or4-B DU/AC and the R-3 zone has a general range of6-15 DU/AC. The site Is O.63 acres which the change would support
a limited Increase in density which speaks to the additional trip generatlon.
3. Provide a demonstration of why an existing comprehensive plan goal, policy, or recommendation should be
cominued to be in effect or why an existing goal, policy, or recommendation no longer appties -
This does not apply given the request Is a Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment not a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment.
4, Provide a statement of how the amendment complies with the comprehensive plan's community vision
statement, goals, objectives, and policy directives -
This proposed Comprehsnslve Plan Map Amendment request complies with the Vision Statement, specifically promot)ng high quality and
aeslheUcally pleaslng development. The Amendment also meets the Locatlonal Criteria for High [)ensity Resldential (HDR) as set forth in Chapter 3

The proposed amendment is a Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment for a O.63
acre parcel currently zoned R-2, Single Family and Two Family ResidenUal. The
amendment request is to change the underling land Use Designation from
Medium Density Residential to High Density Residential. The change would
enable a rezoning of the R-2 to R-3, Multi Family Res?denUal
Tms is a non-project action and does not include any plans for development at
this time. The property owner desires the flexibility offered by R-3, MulU Family

Introduction
The transportation element is a key element of the City of Moses
Lake Comprehensive Plan and is one of six required elements for
cities planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA). To
meet GMA requirements, the transportation element must identify existing transportation system
characteristics, establish standards for levels of service, identify and designate planned
improvements for pedestrian and bicycle facilities and corridors that address and encourage
enhanced community access and promote healthy lifestyles, and identify existing and future
deficiencies based on traffic growth projections. Goals and policies must be established which guide
the development of the City’s transportation system in support of the City’s vision for the future.
The GMA states that the transportation element should “encourage efficient multimodal
transportation systems that are based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city
comprehensive plans.” In other words, the GMA requires that the local comprehensive plan,
including the land use and transportation elements, be consistent and coordinated with regional
programs. The GMA further requires that transportation facility and service improvements be made
concurrent with development. Concurrent means that the improvements or strategies are in place
at the time of development, or that a financial commitment is in place to complete the
improvements or strategies within six years.

Moses Lake Together – Creating Our Future | November 2021 6-2
Existing Conditions and Trends
The City of Moses Lake is located within Grant County in Washington State. The city boasts over
300 days of sunshine each year and strong agricultural, manufacturing, and technology industries.
Thanks to the nearby Columbia River, the region benefits from irrigation water and low-cost
hydroelectricity, which support the region’s industry. Grant County is the number one producer of
potatoes in the United States.
Moses Lake and the surrounding region is served by Interstate 90, which runs east to west, and SR
17, which runs north to south. SR 171 and the I-90 Business Loop provide access to downtown
Moses Lake. The city is built around its namesake lake, which has a complex shape. The lake has
three “horns” and very few roadway crossings, resulting in limited access and mobility throughout
the city. I-90, which is located at the southern end of the city, provides the only east-to-west lake
crossing. If the westernmost I-90 bridge is closed, the only alternate routes are a low-volume gravel
road through the sand dunes, or a detour of over 40 miles to either the north or the south along
state and local two-lane roads. The only routes from I-90 to northern Moses Lake are along SR 17
which crosses the lake at its northernmost point on the Parker Horn, or crossing the lake using
Stratford Road, known as Neppel Crossing or “the fill.”
Efficient and consistent movement of people and goods is vital to the success of the businesses
operating in Moses Lake. The northern part of Moses Lake and surrounding Grant County includes
the region’s largest retail shopping area, Big Bend Community College, and the Port of Moses Lake
which operates the Grant County International Airport, an industrial park, and foreign trade zone.
This is an area of regional importance, serving as a shopping destination for people from all around
Moses Lake, the only college within the basin area, and a destination and generator of freight traffic.
The eastern part of Moses Lake is home to another area of heavy industrial manufacturing along the
Wheeler Industrial Corridor. Residential growth is occurring to the south of Wheeler Road along
the SR 17 corridor, and new commercial growth is occurring near the SR 17 and I-90 interchange.
The western part of Moses Lake is comprised of two disconnected areas. The Cascade Valley is a
peninsula accessible only from Valley Road or several connections with SR 17. This area is
primarily residential and agricultural. Farther west across the lake is the Mae Valley/Westshore
area. Access to this area requires travelling on I-90 which traverses the only bridges crossing the
southern part of Moses Lake.
Road Network and Functional Classifications
Federal Functional Classification
The City’s road system is classified in five federal functional classifications (FFC) which indicate the
characteristics of the roadway:
COML Council Packet 7-25-23, Page 142 of 196
Ch. 6 Transportation
Moses Lake Together – Creating Our Future | November 2021 6-3
▪ Urban Principal Arterials carry the major portion of trips entering and leaving the urban
areas and activity centers. They provide interconnectivity and continuity between roadways,
providing a high level of mobility and supporting high traffic volume.
▪ Minor Arterials distribute trips of moderate lengths within relatively smaller geographic areas.
These roadways provide connectivity within the city.
▪ Major Collectors provide land access and traffic circulation between residential
neighborhoods, commercial, and industrial areas. These roadways often traverse longer
distances, providing residential areas access to arterials, and often have higher speeds and
more signalized intersections.
▪ Minor Collectors perform the same function as a major collector but are often shorter with
lower speeds and fewer signalized intersections.
▪ Local Roads make up most of the City’s road system. These are the roadways within
neighborhoods that funnel traffic to the collectors and arterials. Local roads are not meant to
carry through traffic movement.
This classification system is managed by the Federal Highway Administration and each state’s
department of transportation. Changes to the FFC must be requested by the City to the Washington
State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The FFC is used for many purposes, including
project prioritization, funding availability, and design. For example, an arterial will have a different
design than a local road and will be eligible for different funding sources. Exhibit 6-1 shows the FFC
for Moses Lake on a WSDOT map.
Local Street Classifications
The City similarly classifies their street system as primary, secondary, tertiary, or residential
streets. These classifications guide the standard to which the street is constructed.
▪ Primary streets are arterial streets that carry the majority of traffic that enters and exits urban
areas and that carry the majority of through traffic. Primary streets have either fully-controlled
or partially-controlled accesses. Primary streets include interstate highways, state highways,
and specific city streets.
▪ Secondary streets are arterial streets that distribute trips of moderate lengths between
different geographic areas of the City. Secondary streets include all arterials that are not
otherwise classified as primary streets. Secondary streets provide access to identifiable areas
of the City, but they do not enter into identifiable areas of the City.
▪ Tertiary streets are City streets that provide land access and traffic circulation within
residential, commercial, and industrial areas of the City. Tertiary streets differ from primary
and secondary streets in that they may enter geographic areas of the City, to distribute traffic
from the primary and secondary streets to their ultimate destination within the neighborhood.
▪ Residential streets are all City streets that are not classified as either a primary street,
secondary street, or tertiary street.

County
County and City roads work together to form the transportation network serving Moses Lake.
Important routes, such as Stratford Road, Wheeler Road, and Randolph Road support industry and
the movement of goods. Other routes, such as Valley Road and Potato Hill Road, provide important
connections for local traffic.
State
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) maintains I-90 and SR 17 as they
pass through the City of Moses Lake. WSDOT and the City jointly maintain SR 171, also known as
Broadway Avenue.

Active Transportation System Facilities
The City of Moses Lake’s active transportation system provides residents and visitors a variety of
opportunities to experience and move about the City without the use of a motorized vehicle.
According to the 2016 Moses Lake Comprehensive Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan, there
are 23.18 miles of multi-use pathways in the city, along with 31.03 miles of shoulder greater than 4-
feet, 4.06 miles of bike lanes, and 2.16 miles of sharrows.
The bicycle network was designed to serve and interconnect various sectors of the City and County
with major points of interest. The City’s existing active transportation facilities are shown on
Exhibit 6-3.
Sidewalks
Pedestrian facilities within the City of Moses Lake are mainly composed of sidewalks constructed in
association with streets and the multi-use pathways. According to sheet A-2 of the Moses Lake
street standards (2020), all streets require a 5-foot planter strip with street trees between the road
and sidewalk to provide a buffer for pedestrians and to visually narrow the street to slow traffic.
Current design standards for residential and tertiary streets include provisions for a minimum five-
foot-wide sidewalk, and minimum six-foot-wide sidewalk for primary and secondary streets.
Commercial and industrial developments can eliminate the requirement for a planter strip by
installing an eight-foot-wide sidewalk. Many but not all existing residential, commercial, or
industrial areas have sidewalks.

Activity Trails and Pedestrian Paths
Moses Lake Municipal Code allows for the City to require activity trails as a condition of subdivision
approval when a trail is shown in the Activity Trails Master Plan. Moses Lake Municipal Code
defines an activity trail as:
“Trails or paths that are designated for bicycle and pedestrian use. Activity trails are typically
ten feet (10') wide, unobstructed trails, with four feet (4') or more of clearance on each side,
and ten feet (10') of vertical clearance. Activity trails may be widened sidewalks, designated
roadway lanes, or separate trails from sidewalks or streets. The Activity Trail Master Plan that
was adopted by City Council provides guidance on the construction of activity trails and their
locations a trail or path designated for bicycle or pedestrian use” (MLMC 17.06.020).
At the time of updated this transportation element, the City’s Activity Trail Master Plan was also
under review.
A pedestrian path “provides unobstructed pedestrian access between existing sidewalks and
activity trails, through mid-block right-of-way” (MLMC 17.06.350). Pedestrian paths may be
required when the route along sidewalks would be more than ¼ mile longer if the pedestrian path
is not provided (MLMC 17.21.040).
Currently, all City parks and public schools can be accessed by activity trails. The City has several
named activity trail systems:
▪Joseph K Gavinski Trail which begins in Mae Valley and extends through Moses Lake to the
Cascade Valley.
▪Yonezawa Loop which creates a loop along Yonezawa Blvd, Division Street, Nelson Road, and
Pioneer Way.
▪Joe Rodgers Trail which extends from Valley Road at Central Drive to Big Bend Community
College.
▪Peninsula Loop on the south side of I-90 along Lakeshore Drive, Peninsula Drive, and
Wanapum Drive, which extends to the north of I-90 along Peninsula Drive.
Bicycle Lanes and Sharrows
Bicycle lanes are roadway lanes dedicated for the use of bicyclists, and sharrows are road marking
that indicate roadways that are intended to be shared by both bicyclists and vehicles. Sharrows are
intended to be used on lower volume roadways with speeds no greater than 35 miles per hour and
identify specific bikes routes designated by the City where there is not enough space for a dedicated
bike lane.

Transit
Public Transit System
Grant Transit Authority (GTA), the public transportation provider for Grant County, started with a
demonstration project in 1995. In 1996, voters approved a Public Transportation Benefit area
funded by a 2/10 of one percent tax increase to fund public transit services in Grant County. GTA
has expanded since 1996 and currently provides bus service throughout the City of Moses Lake,
Ephrata, and Soap Lake, and intra-county service to Warden, George, and Quincy. GTA is also a van
pool provider. In 2017, GTA opened the Multimodal Transit Center in downtown Moses Lake,
which offers indoor seating, restrooms, Wi-Fi, bike storage, and taxi pick up and drop off areas.
People for People Community Services offers free fixed route and paratransit to low-income
individual, seniors, and those with disabilities. Several routes connect Moses Lake to smaller
communities throughout Grant, Adams, and Lincoln County, including daily weekday trips to
Wenatchee and the Tri-Cities with stops at the regional medical centers and transit centers serving
those communities.
Commercial Bus Service
Connections with the urban public transportation systems available outside the county are
provided by Greyhound and Northwest Trailways.
Park and Ride Lots
WSDOT operates two Park and Ride Lots in the Moses Lake area. The lot located on SR 17 just south
of I-90 has 59 parking spaces, including 3 accessible spaces. The second lot located north of the city
on SR 17 along Randolph Road near the entrance to the Grant County International Airport and Big
Bend Community College has 24 parking spaces, including 2 accessible spaces. Both Park and Ride
lots would benefit from additional parking spaces, striping, and improved lighting at night for
better security.
Freight
Moses Lake Municipal Code Chapter 10.16 establishes a limitation on truck traffic with a combined
axle load of 12,000 pounds within the City. Routes approved as “through truck routes” are SR 17
and I-90 within the Moses Lake city limits. Local truck traffic, such as delivery trucks and
construction vehicles, are authorized to travel on other city streets.

Airport
Moses Lake Municipal Airport
The Moses Lake Municipal Airport is classified as a General Aviation Airport and is located in the
Wheeler industrial area east of the city. This airport is an integral part of the City’s larger multi-
modal transportation system and provides important resources to the region’s agricultural
economy and other users of small aircraft. The 54.5-acre site serves general aviation aircraft and
commercial crop spraying operations. The runway is 2,500' by 50'. All aircraft using this airport
have an aircraft approach speed of less than 121 knots, a wingspan less than 49', and weigh less
than 12,500 pounds. The airport property was deeded to the City in 1947 by the Northern Pacific
Railroad. Since 1994, operations at the Municipal Airport have been overseen by the Municipal
Airport Advisory Board, consisting of five members appointed by the mayor.
Grant County International Airport
The Port of Moses Lake operates the Grant County International Airport located at the northern end
of the City. The facility is classified as a Commercial Service facility. Formerly the Larson Air Force
Base, it is now a world-class heavy jet training and testing facility used by the Boeing Company, the
U.S. Air Force, and many aerospace oriented users and air carriers from around the world.
Passenger service ended in 2010. The United States Customs and Border Protection operates an
office at the airport to clear international flights.
The airport has 4,700 acres and five runways. The main runway is 13,503 feet long and 200 feet
wide. The remaining four runways range from 10,000 feet by 100 feet down to 2936 feet by 75 feet.
Because of the acreage and the length of the runways, it is one of the largest airports in the nation.
Airside facilities also include 21 taxiways, 3.5 million square feet of aprons, fuel distribution and
storage systems, airport surveillance, radar, and a fire training facility. Landside facilities include a
terminal building with capacity for 132 passengers, control tower, and over 40 buildings totaling
about 1,000,000 square feet.
Rail
Moses Lake is served by the Columbia Basin Railroad. This is a freight line which dead ends at the
Port of Moses Lake and near the Wheeler Industrial Corridor (Exhibit 6-4). The rail line travels
south to Connell, where it connects with the BNSF Railroad.

The Port of Moses Lake has successfully sought federal funding and authorization to rehabilitate
and relocate the rail line that currently passes through downtown Moses Lake. The rail line will be
relocated to an alternate location that would efficiently and directly connect the industrial lands at
the Port of Moses Lake to the Wheeler Industrial Corridor and remove rail service that must cross
through downtown Moses Lake. The project includes construction of about 4.5 miles of new rail line
(Segment 1), and rehabilitation of 3 miles of existing track (Segment 3) as shown in Exhibit 6-5. The
benefits of this project are focused on economic development and preservation of existing industry
by providing new rail service to over 2,000 acres of industrial lands and improving rail service to
industrial lands already served by the rail lines. In addition, the projected benefits include the
diversion of 76 million truck miles to rail, potentially removing some industrial truck traffic from
within the City.
Passenger rail service provided by Amtrak is available in Ephrata, approximately 22 miles
northwest of Moses Lake.

Level of Service (LOS) Standards
Roadway LOS
Level of Service (LOS) standards are a mechanism for establishing the community’s expectations for
the performance of specific aspects of the transportation system. These standards are typically
associated with congestion at intersections which focus on the performance of the transportation
system from the point of view of the auto motorist. Level of Service is expressed using a scale with
letter designations ranging from A to F. Level of Service A represents the highest level and the best
operating conditions, and LOS F is the lowest level. See Exhibit 6-6 for a description of each LOS for
a signalized intersection. Unsignalized intersections and roundabouts have a similar LOS scale, but
have different delays than a signalized intersection. For example, a LOS F for a signalized
intersection is characterized by a delay greater than 80 seconds per vehicle, and a LOS F for a
roundabout or unsignalized intersection is characterized by a delay greater than 50 seconds per
vehicle.

The Growth Management Act requires that jurisdictions forecast traffic volumes associated with
growth and determine transportation concurrency levels. The concurrency tests are intended to
ensure that the development of transportation facilities and operations are occurring consistently
with growth and development. A jurisdiction must show that it is physically and financially feasible
to accommodate traffic from new development.
The City of Moses Lake adopts a LOS D or better for all intersections, except for the intersections at
Stratford Road and Broadway Avenue and Stratford Road and Valley Road. These intersections shall
operate at a LOS F or better. The City recognizes that these intersections have an existing deficiency
and that the SR 17 Stratford Road study discussed below has found that there are no reasonable
improvements that can help these interchanges operate at a LOS D or E in the future, except for
projects that divert traffic from Stratford Road, such as a new bridge crossing the lake. These
intersections each have site constraints which limit future improvements.
Interstate 90, SR 17, and SR 171 must operate at a LOS D or better according to WSDOT.
A traffic study conducted in 2019 evaluated the LOS at several intersections along Moses Lake’s
Stratford Road, from Broadway Avenue to the SR 17 interchange. In 2021, analyses were conducted
that focused on Mae Valley growth and traffic impacts to local streets, I-90, and the Broadway
Avenue interchange, and the Yonezawa Blvd and Kittleson Road intersections with SR 17. The basis
for evaluating concurrency is based on these study intersections.

SR 17 Stratford Road Transportation Study LOS Results
The Stratford Road Transportation Study was a joint effort between WSDOT and the City of Moses
Lake. The purpose of the study was to identify potential improvements along certain stretches of
the highway and city road system to improve pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle mobility while
enhancing safety. The study included stakeholder and public participation to support the selection
of preferred alternatives. The preferred alternative at the Stratford Road and Valley Road
intersection has already been implemented, though it was slightly modified. Therefore, the results
shown below include the modified preferred alternative as the current condition.
The study included eight intersections. Two intersections are currently in the Urban Growth Area
outside of city limits. The growth rate used in the analysis was the average of the city identified
growth rate of 3% (2013 Comprehensive Plan) and actual traffic growth derived from 10-years of
traffic data. See Exhibit 6-7. The traffic data was collected in December 2018. New traffic data was
not collected for this plan update nor were the intersection analyses updated for several reasons:
▪COVID-19 affected traffic volumes in 2020-2021, so traffic counts would not be accurate for
long-term forecasting.
▪Five of the six study intersections are forecast to operate at a LOS E or F by 2040. Updating the
traffic study will not change the fact that the intersections are forecast to operate below City
LOS standards.
▪Using the reduced growth rate of 2.4% from this 2021 Comprehensive Plan did not affect the
results enough to change the LOS.

The results shown in Exhibit 6-8 indicate that five of the six intersections along the Stratford Road
corridor will fail by 2040 if no action is taken (highlighted in orange). The proposed preferred
alternative for each intersection is discussed in the next section.

Mae Valley Analysis LOS Results
The City of Moses Lake anticipates future growth and developments in the Mae Valley area, which
overlaps the western City limits and extends into unincorporated Grant County north of I-90. The
City, in partnership with WSDOT, performed a study to evaluate anticipated traffic impacts
associated with new potential developments. The analysis included several intersections near I-90
to the west of Moses Lake as well as the I-90 freeway segments between Mae Valley and the
Broadway interchange. Exhibit 6-9 identifies the locations of the study intersections. At the time of
adoption of this element, only the first step of the process was completed, as described below.
Exhibit 6-9. Mae Valley Analysis Study Intersections.
The first step in the process was to identify baseline level of service. The baseline analysis is based
on a minimal growth scenario, assuming the only growth will be single family residences on
existing parcels. The results of the baseline level of service analysis shown in Exhibit 6-10 indicate
that two of the intersections are currently operating below the city’s LOS standards, and two
additional intersections will operate below LOS standards within the next ten years (highlighted in
orange). The next step in the analysis is to develop a growth scenario that will form a more realistic
view of the future, including additional subdivisions and more intense growth, and re-evaluate the
level of service. The final step will be to identify transportation system improvement projects that
will mitigate the transportation impacts resulting from growth. Considering the entire system will
promote a more coordinated effort that will support the greatest growth potential within the Mae
Valley area.

Needs and Opportunities
Growth
The City of Moses Lake has grown at a rate of 2.4% over the past five years and is expected to
continue growing at that rate. To sustain this growth for the next twenty-years, this equates to an
additional 4,803 housing units needed within the City, averaging 253 units per year. This growth
comes with additional traffic on existing City roads from the new residents, businesses, and
industries, and new roads where growth expands away from existing City infrastructure.
Additionally, as Moses Lake is a regional shopping, commercial, and industrial center, growth from
areas surrounding the City will also increase traffic. This transportation element gives the City an
opportunity to plan for that growth, to ensure there is an efficient multimodal transportation
system developed to meet the future needs of the City.

Ch. 6 Transportation
Moses Lake Together – Creating Our Future | November 2021 6-19
Road System
The City’s road system provided the foundation for growth in the past and informs how the city will
develop into the future. This section of the plan outlines an improvement plan that will help the
City to meet transportation demands into the future. The City of Moses Lake has conducted several
studies and analyses over the past few years which form the basis of this improvement plan:
▪SR 17 Stratford Road Transportation Study (2019)
▪Mae Valley Analysis (2021)
▪Yonezawa Blvd Intersection Control Evaluation (2021)
▪Roundabout and Road Diet Study (2017)
▪Activity Trails Master Plan (2005)
The City’s Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan also provided several project
recommendations for future improvement to the road system. Some specific projects are described
below, with the complete project list provided in Exhibit 6-12 and Exhibit 6-18.
SR 17 Stratford Road Transportation Study Recommended Alternatives
Valley Road at Central Drive
This intersection is not forecast to fail within the study period; however, there are several large,
vacant, commercially zoned parcels nearby that, when developed, may increase traffic beyond the
standard growth rate and cause the intersection to fall below a LOS D. The study determined that
updating the signal timing would provide immediate benefit to the intersection but may not be
sufficient to manage additional commercial development. The best option for long term traffic
control is a roundabout. Because of the need to purchase right of way, it is identified as a preferred
alternative if necessary in the future and will need to be re-evaluated when specific development is
proposed.
SR 17 Interchange and Marts Road
The three intersections at the SR 17 interchange and Marts Road are all forecast to fail by 2040. The
study determined the best alternative is to add a traffic signal at the southbound ramps and add
new lanes at the northbound ramps and at Marts Road. The alternative also includes shifting the
lanes crossing the bridge to the east and widening the sidewalk on the west to provide safer
pedestrian access. This alternative significantly increased the efficiency of traveling vehicles and
provided the greatest improvements for pedestrians using the current bridge. These improvements
will require coordination with WSDOT. The proposed improvements are shown in Exhibit 6-11.

Exhibit 6-11. SR 17 Interchange and Marts Road Preferred Alternative.
Sources: Perteet, 2019.
Stratford Road at Valley Road
The recommended alternative has already been implemented at this intersection; however, the
intersection is still forecast to fail in the future. This intersection is constrained, and there were no
feasible additional options found that could be implemented within the existing right of way. This
intersection will benefit from regional projects that remove through traffic from Stratford Road.
Stratford Road at Broadway Avenue
Site constraints limited the available options for different alternatives at this site, and even with the
recommended improvements the intersection is forecast to fail in 2040. Alternatives that will
improve traffic flow and are recommended for implementation include adding a protected right
turn for westbound traffic and revising the signal timing. The changes to the signal will require
coordination with WSDOT.

Mae Valley Analysis
Although not complete at the time of this plan’s adoption, the Mae Valley Analysis is indicating that
several road improvement projects will be required to support additional growth in the Mae Valley
area. With the amount of urban growth area and vacant land in Mae Valley, substantial increases in
traffic are very possible and will require significant private investments to ensure level of service is
maintained. Once the analysis is complete and the preferred improvement projects are identified,
the City should develop an implementation plan to ensure concurrency requirements can be met.
Yonezawa Blvd Intersection Control Evaluation
An Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) is a process used to evaluate intersection alternatives. The
process is intended to result in the selection of the most cost-efficient and safe intersection design
that meets needs both now and into the future. The purpose of the Yonezawa ICE is to support
adding a fourth leg to the intersection to allow the roadway to extend to the east.
The ICE review team developed a conservative, but likely, growth forecast for the future based on
current zoning. The level of service analysis indicates the intersection will fail by 2043 with the
addition of traffic from the growth forecast. This includes both the three-legged intersection as it
exists today, and the proposed four-leg intersection. It will take a significant reduction in traffic for
the intersection to operate within the level of service standards, which impacts the potential for
growth.
These results indicate that a subarea planning process is needed to manage growth and traffic in
the future. Without taking a comprehensive look at the surrounding area, growth will be limited by
the capacity of the road system.
To maximize growth and economic development potential, the City should undertake a subarea
planning process that involves the community, property owners, developers, and the City. Through
this process, the City can ensure that development is coordinated and high quality and developers
and landowners can ensure their property is able to be developed to its maximum potential. A
subarea plan for this area should evaluate land uses and the supporting capital facilities, including
the transportation system, to identify what improvements will need to be made to ensure LOS
standards are met in the future. The planning process will ensure the public and private
investments required to support the new development and redevelopment can be planned for and
implemented in a cost-efficient, equitable, and timely manner.
Roundabout and Road Diet Study
This study was completed in 2017 and provided the basis for several recently implemented road
diets in downtown Moses Lake. Completion of the remaining road diets is recommended; however,
the road diet recommended along Valley Road will require more public outreach to determine if it
should be implemented.
COML Council Packet 7-25-23, Page 161 of 196
Ch. 6 Transportation
Moses Lake Together – Creating Our Future | November 2021 6-22
None of the roundabouts identified are currently recommended for implementation. However, if
future development causes a LOS impact at one of the studied intersections that recommended
roundabout installation, a roundabout solution should be evaluated for development at that time.
Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan
The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) must be updated annually and be adopted by
City Council. The Six-Year TIP provides a short-term list of projects and their funding sources that
are planned to be implemented over the next six years.
The 2022-2028 Six-Year TIP included several projects that city officials have identified as a need
and was used to inform this plan element. Several projects are important to this plan and support
future growth or improve current conditions. The most current Six-Year TIP is available from the
Municipal Services Engineering division.
Yonezawa Boulevard East
This project extends Yonezawa Boulevard east of SR 17 and connects into Nelson Road, improving
access to the new elementary school and existing private school, opening land for development, and
removing local traffic from the highway.
American Disability Act (ADA) Ramp Reconstruction
Each year the City budgets funds to improve curb ramps and sidewalks around the city to improve
accessibility.
Hanson Road Reconstruction
This project includes completing frontage improvements and sidewalks along the corridor.
Development occurring in this area will complete some of the improvements.
Transportation Studies
Several studies are included in the TIP to evaluate preferred intersection control or corridor
improvements. These studies will identify specific projects to be added into future Six-Year TIPs.
Currently, the intersections of Wheeler Road at Road L and Division Street at Nelson Road are
identified for further study for intersection control. The Broadway Avenue corridor has two studies
identified. , One is a corridor study for East Broadway Avenue to evaluate improvements to the
intersections and corridor between Pioneer Avenue and SR 17, and the second is an analysis of the
entire Broadway Avenue corridor from I-90 to SR 17 to evaluate for revitalization.

Additional Bridge Crossing
A long-time and long-term regional goal is to construct a new bridge crossing over Moses Lake to
provide an additional route to the northside of the lake. This goal has several benefits, including
providing a more efficient route for freight traveling to or from the west, supporting job and
industry creation, and alleviating congestion through Moses Lake on Stratford Road and SR 17.
Proponents for the new bridge have not confirmed a location, but several locations have been
identified as potential crossings in the past, including Dogwood Street in Moses Lake and most
recently a location west of the City in the Hiawatha Road vicinity.
Road System Twenty-Year Improvement Plan
The following projects are identified for the City’s twenty-year improvement plan. Exhibit 6-12
identifies the priority, project name, benefit area, estimated cost as of 2021, and potential funding
sources. Funding sources may include:
▪Local: Real Estate Excise Tax (REET), Transportation Benefit District (TBD), gas tax, levies, etc.

Active Transportation System
Having a well-connected, safe, and enjoyable active transportation system is very important to the
City of Moses Lake. The City already has a well-developed system of trails and sidewalks; however,
not all trails are interconnected. Several projects are proposed to improve access and
interconnectivity throughout the City. In 2005, the City developed an Activity Trails Master Plan
through a robust public process with a list of projects and their descriptions. Exhibit 6-14 identifies
several of the trails proposed within the Activity Trails Master Plan, as well as possible locations for
additional trail connections, either by widening existing sidewalks into activity trails, constructing
sidewalks where there are none currently, or reserving future connections on undeveloped land or
rights of way. The exhibit also shows where bikes lanes are proposed as part of a road diet. For
more specific information the proposed trail system, refer to the Activity Trails Master Plan.

Stratford Road Bridge Sidewalk
The Stratford Road Bridge is the only pedestrian route crossing SR 17 from the residential areas to
the north to the shopping areas to the south. The bridge has 3-foot wide sidewalks on each side,
immediately adjacent to the travel lanes. The sidewalks are not ADA-compliant and are unsafe for
the high volume of pedestrian travel. In the winter, snow is pushed up onto the sidewalk which
forces pedestrians into the road to cross the bridge.
The SR 17 and Stratford Road Transportation Study evaluated options to improve pedestrian access
across the bridge. The City had already determined that a replacement bridge or a pedestrian only
bridge were not feasible options, so the study evaluated retrofits to the bridge. The study
determined that a strategy that shifts the lanes to the east and widens the sidewalk on the west side
of the bridge to 6-feet was the best strategy and could be implemented along with or prior to signal
improvements at the three nearby intersections. Exhibit 6-15 demonstrates the current and
proposed bridge sections.

Central Washington Railroad Rail Trail
The Central Washington Railroad runs through the center of Moses Lake, crossing through
Montlake Park at the southern end, then crossing the Pelican Horn of Moses Lake, which takes the

railroad into downtown Moses Lake through Neppel Landing Park, and terminating near Big Bend
Community College. The City’s goal is to acquire a portion of the unused right of way after the
Central Washington Railroad is relocated to the Wheeler Road area and develop a trail system from
Montlake Park to connect into the existing Joseph K. Gavinski Trail at Marina Drive. At this point,
the trail system runs adjacent to the railroad through Neppel Landing Park. The trail could then also
extend farther north to SR 17 across another bridge crossing. Exhibit 6-16 identifies the rail
segments that are proposed for acquisition.

Trail Committee Projects
The City’s trail committee has identified several trail improvement projects, including:
▪ A new Montlake Park trail that extends west along I-90 crossing the Pelican Horn and
connecting to West Lakeside Drive. A pedestrian bridge is required to cross Moses Lake along I-
90. This trail could also connect into the existing Joseph K. Gavinski Trail just north of the
COML Council Packet 7-25-23, Page 170 of 196
Ch. 6 Transportation
Moses Lake Together – Creating Our Future | November 2021 6-31
westbound on and off ramps at Broadway which would provide access to Blue Heron Park and
Westshore Drive. The trail would also connect to the future rail trail.
▪Improve the connections from existing trails to McCosh Park.
▪Connect Power Point Park to Division Street and Montlake Park through Grant PUD right of
way.
▪Install way finding signs to provide the directions and the estimated distances for all those
using the trail system.
▪Develop a greenway that extends from the Japanese Gardens to Parker Springs.
Grape Drive to Patton Blvd / SR 17 Trail Connection
During the SR 17 Stratford Road Transportation Study, the public identified the need for improved
non-motorized connection from Grape Drive to Randolph Road. A trail connection going north
along Grape Drive does exist; however, it is not direct, and the public desired a more direct route. In
addition, the public identified the SR 17 corridor as a desired pathway.
Dogwood Street Bridge
The City of Moses Lake recently acquired land on the north side of the lake across from Dogwood
Street, at the west end of Northshore Drive. The purchase completes the connection from one side
of the lake to the other and would permit the construction of a bridge. Although there is enough
right of way to construct a vehicle bridge, the City envisions a pedestrian bridge at this location
which will provide an alternate route across the lake instead of traveling along the activity trail that
is adjacent to the busy Stratford Road. A bridge would provide more direct access to destinations on
both sides of the lake which will promote more use of the active transportation system and reduce
the vehicle trips across the fill.
Road Diets
The City has several roads with two lanes and a parking strip in each direction, with no bike lanes.
The City performed a road diet study in 2017 to determine if some of these streets could be reduced
to one lane, parking strip, and bike lane in each direction, with a two-way center turn lane. Exhibit
6-17 shows a before and after illustration of a road diet. The results of this study were positive, and
several streets have been identified for road diet implementation. In 2015 the City implemented a
road diet on Division Street, from Nelson Road to 6th Avenue. Several streets are identified for near
future implementation of road diets in the downtown area, including extending the Division Street
road diet farther north.

Bike Signals
A bike-only signal provides cyclists a dedicated signal phase and ability to cross the intersection
diagonally with all traffic stopped. The SR 17 and Stratford Road Transportation Study evaluated
the use of a bike-only signal at the intersection of Valley Road and Central Drive. The evaluation
determined the use of a bike-only signal would be a beneficial addition to this intersection because
it is an important activity trail crossing location and connection from the Joseph K. Gavinski Trail to
the Joe Rogers Trail.
Bike-only signals should also be evaluated at other signal-controlled intersection with activity trail
crossings and considered with future improvement projects.

Concurrency
The GMA requires concurrency for the transportation network and other public facilities that serve
a development. Maintaining currency means that the public facilities that are necessary to support
the development are in place as the development occurs, or within six years if a financial
commitment is in place. For the transportation network, concurrency is based on the adopted LOS
for the road network. RCW 36.70A.070(6)(b) requires local agencies to adopt and enforce policies
and regulations that prohibit development that causes the LOS to drop below the City standard. If a
development causes an impact, it must either pay to mitigate the impacts or redesign the project.
The City of Moses Lake does not currently have concurrency regulations adopted in city code. The
concurrency policies are listed below in Goal 1.2 and are intended to be applied to all development.
The City uses the SEPA process to implement concurrency policies. The City should codify policies
and regulations through future updates to the development regulations.
Complete Streets
A Complete Streets Program is one which promotes healthy communities by encouraging walking,
bicycling, and using public transportation. The program focuses on improving transportation
facilities to increase safety and usability for multi-modal travel. An overarching goal is to reduce
congestion by providing alternatives to driving. In 2011, Washington state established a grant
program for communities which have adopted complete street policies. The City of Moses Lake
received $250,000 in 2017 and may be eligible to receive more funding if nominated.
The City Council adopted Ordinance 2644 on March 13, 2012 which established the following
policies:
“The purpose of the Complete Streets Program is to ensure all users are planned for in the
construction of all City transportation improvement projects. The City of Moses Lake
encourages healthy, active living, reduction of traffic congestion and fossil fuels, and
improvement in the safety and quality of life.
The City of Moses Lake will plan for, design, and construct all new transportation projects
to provide reasonable and appropriate accommodations for bicyclists, pedestrians, and
transit users; except in the following cases:
1.Where the establishment would be contrary to public safety.
2.Where the cost would be disproportionate to the need or probably future use.
3.Where there is no identified need.
4.Where the establishment would be contrary to the Transportation Element of the
Comprehensive Plan.”

Transportation Demand Management
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) focuses on reducing the number of vehicles on a road
during peak hours instead of constructing larger roadways or more roadways. In Moses Lake, TDM
is supported by Grant Transit Authority and their bus and vanpool programs, which provide public
transportation to the County and region. The City’s existing and proposed activity trail system will
also support TDM, by creating safer and more efficient pathways for non-motorized travel. The City
also encourages TDM concepts for new employers, especially industrial, manufacturing, and office
space type businesses which can control employee traffic. Employer TDM programs, such as
alternative work schedules and telecommuting, are efficient methods to reduce transportation
impacts during peak hours and reduce the need for mitigation as part of project approval.
State and Regional Planning Efforts
WSDOT
The Washington Transportation Plan (WTP) is a comprehensive and balanced statewide transportation
plan that establishes a 20-year vision for the development of the statewide transportation system,
from state highways and ferries to sidewalks and bike paths, county roads, city streets, public transit,
air and rail. The WTP identifies the total unfunded statewide need over 20 years, identifies significant
statewide transportation issues, and recommends statewide transportation policies and strategies
to the legislature and Governor.
By law, the WTP is required to be consistent with the state’s growth management goals, reflect the
priorities of government, and address regional needs, including multimodal transportation planning.
The WTP 2035 is based on the following four focus areas:
▪Maintain and Preserve Assets
▪Manage Growth and Traffic Congestion
▪Enhance Multimodal Connections and Choices
▪Align the Funding Structure with the Multimodal Vision
QUADCO
The Quad County (QUADCO) Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO) was formed in
1992 and encompasses Adams, Grant, Kittitas and Lincoln Counties. Its mandate is based on the
RTPO planning provision of the Growth Management Act. QUADCO’s role is to foster an ongoing
planning and decision-making process that shapes the transportation system within that region,
ensures that needs are addressed within the available resources, and coordinates among
jurisdictions as well as between the public and private sectors.
COML Council Packet 7-25-23, Page 177 of 196
Ch. 6 Transportation
Moses Lake Together – Creating Our Future | November 2021 6-38
In 2017, QUADCO updated the Regional Transportation Plan which describes the regional
transportation system as it exists and projects its function 20 years into the future. The QUADCO
plan compares the projected system with the system that is required to meet the mobility,
economic, social, and environmental goals of the region, and provides strategies to shape the
transportation system so that it can support those goals.
The Moses Lake Comprehensive Plan is consistent with the goals of the QUADCO Regional
Transportation Plan:
Goal 1 – Safety: Protect the safety of our community.
▪The Moses Lake plan focuses on creating a safe multimodal transportation system for all users
through roadway design and system improvements.
Goal 2 – Preservation: Preserve and extend the life and utility of prior transportation system
investments.
▪The Moses Lake plan supports maintenance and preservation projects with a goal of extending
the life of current assets.
Goal 3 - Economic Vitality: Enhance our region’s economic vitality by promoting and
developing transportation systems that stimulate, support, and enhance the movement of
people and goods.
▪The Moses Lake plan supports economic vitality by prioritizing an efficient transportation
system for freight and other users. The plan encourages orderly growth focused around
employment centers or accessible by public transportation. The plan supports the development
of revitalized corridors which encourage density and mixed uses.
Goal 4 – Mobility: Enhance the mobility of people and goods throughout the region by
providing an interconnected transportation system and opportunities for choosing different
transportation modes.
▪The Moses Lake plan focuses on creating an efficient multimodal transportation system that
provides options for residents and visitors to use public transportation, an interconnected trail
and sidewalk system, and other modes of travel. The plan supports a multimodal system that is
accessible to all.
Goal 5 – Environment: Protect our region’s environment and high quality of life through
transportation investments that promote energy conservation, enhance healthy
communities, and protect the environment.
▪The Moses Lake plan encourages improvements to the public and active transportation
systems, which both reduce energy consumption and enhance the health of the community. The
Moses Lake plan encourages the incorporation of stormwater facilities to preserve lake health.

improvements
B. Reassess the City’s land use plan to reduce the travel demand placed on the system
to the degree necessary to meet adopted transportation service standards.
Finance Plan
Several sources of funding exist to complete the improvements identified in this plan, and all
projects have an identified funding source. However, if faced with funding shortfalls, the City will
need to make changes to balance the budget. Several strategies could be used:
COML Council Packet 7-25-23, Page 184 of 196
Ch. 6 Transportation
Moses Lake Together – Creating Our Future | November 2021 6-45
▪Increase revenues through use of bonds, new or increased user fees or rates, new or increased
taxes, regional cost sharing, or voluntary developer funds.
▪Decrease LOS standards if consistent with GMA Goals.
▪Reprioritize projects to focus on those related to concurrency.
▪Decrease the cost of the facility by changing project scope or finding less expensive alternatives.
▪Decrease the demand for the public service. This could involve instituting measures to slow or
direct population growth or development, for example, developing only in areas served by
facilities with available capacity until funding is available for other areas, or by changing project
timing and phasing.
▪Revise the comprehensive plan's land use element to change types or intensities of land use as
needed to match the amount of transportation facilities that can be provided.
Local Revenues
Transportation Benefit District
A Transportation Benefit District (TBD) was formed within Moses Lake city limits in December
2016. In November 2017, the citizens of Moses Lake voted to approve a 0.2% sales tax to fund the
TBD. The TBD provides the City an important source of local funding that can be used for projects of
local importance or as matching funds for grants. The TBD funding source must be renewed every
ten years.
State law (RCW 36.73) authorizes cities and counties to form TBDs. TBD revenue can be used for
transportation projects such as roadway improvements, sidewalks, bike infrastructure, and
transportation demand management. Construction, maintenance, and operation costs are also
eligible.
Funding from the TBD was the primary source of revenue used in development of the
transportation system improvement plan. This element assumes the funding will be renewed in
2027, and that grants, developer mitigation, and other funding sources will supplement the funding
source.
Impact Fees
State law (RCW 82.02.050) authorizes communities to impose impact fees. Transportation impact
fees are a one-time charge paid by development, proportional to their impacts to fund
improvements that provide new transportation system capacity. The City of Moses Lake does not
currently impose any impact fees.
While transportation impact fees cannot be used for roadway maintenance or projects that
COML Council Packet 7-25-23, Page 185 of 196
Ch. 6 Transportation
Moses Lake Together – Creating Our Future | November 2021 6-46
exclusively address an existing traffic operations or safety issue without providing future capacity,
they can fund a wide variety of projects in the street right-of-way.
State and Federal Revenues
State and Federal revenues supplement local funding sources to complete major street
improvement projects that are outside the capabilities of local funds.
Complete Streets Awards
The Complete Streets Act of 2011 established a grant program for local governments to improve
pedestrian and bicycle facilities. To be eligible, the local agency must adopt a complete streets
policy and must be nominated. The City of Moses Lake’s complete streets policies were adopted in
Ordinance 2644 on March 13, 2012.
Gas Tax
The City receives a portion of the motor vehicle fuel tax that is collected state-wide. This funding
assists the City with the construction, maintenance, and policing of City streets.
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)
Washington State allows local agencies to impose two one-quarter of one-percent (0.25%) taxes on
real estate sales (total 0.5%). The City of Moses Lakes imposes both taxes to real estate sales within
the City. These funds have limited use and can only be used for the construction and limited
maintenance of projects identified within the capital facilities element.
Grants
Grants are an important source of funding for capital improvements and maintenance. The City
actively submits for grants from several funding sources. Examples of grant sources include Safe
Routes to School, WSDOT Bike and Pedestrian Safety, or Federal Aid grants, Transportation
Improvement Board, and Surface Transportation Program funds administered by QUADCO.

Informational
Conditions and Trends
Moses Lake’s central location – on Interstate 90 and State Route 17 – and accessibility by
highway, rails, and air have made it the center for shopping, health care, social services,
employment, education, business, and industry in Grant County. Moses Lake is the home of the
largest natural body of fresh water in Grant County. The city attracts new residents and tourists
alike with its thriving economy, recreation opportunities, and arts and culture activities.
1. The city’s population is growing. The City’s adopted population growth target for the 2018-
2038 planning period is 7,917 new residents. Population growth in Moses Lake has averaged
2.4% annually since 2015. If this trend continues, the City’s population would exceed the
adopted population target, growing to approximately 35,626 residents by 2038.
2. More housing is needed to support this growth. Moses Lake has adequate land capacity to
accommodate 10,275 new residents within city limits and an additional 24,140 residents in
the unincorporated UGA. While there is adequate land capacity to accommodate projected
growth, the rate of housing production would need to increase to an average of 253 units per
year to provide enough housing. City of Moses Lake Comprehensive Plan (2021)
“Private applications to amend UGA boundaries as part of the comprehensive plan update process
should be screened and evaluated for potential effects on residential capacity and commercial/industrial
development opportunities. Guidelines for review should include:

1 Applications to expand the UGA should
not result in a net increase in UGA
acreage. If the City considers expansion in
one location, it should pursue an
equivalent or greater reduction in area
elsewhere.
2 UGA amendment applications that would
increase development opportunities for
industrial lands should be prioritized over
additional housing in the UGA.
3 1Logical boundaries for service delivery
(e.g. water and sewer) should also be
considered as a priority.
4 Areas with existing urban densities that
can be served with adequate
infrastructure should be prioritized over
areas that do not have urban or partially
developed patterns and that lack the
ability to be served during the planning
period (See RCW 36.70A.110(3)).

comprehensive plan update process
should be those whose land use and/or
environmental impacts can be adequately
analyzed and mitigated at a programmatic
level (e.g Determination of Non-
Significance) and would not require a
dedicated SEPA process.
6 Proposed changes to land use should be
generally compatible with surrounding
land uses and have adequate public
infrastructure to serve the proposed use.”
Criteria to designate UGA
(Growth Management Act)
First, locate growth in areas already
characterized by urban growth where
existing public facilities are available to
serve development.
Locate growth in urbanized areas with
existing public facilities and services,
which may require new facilities and
services to support new growth.
Expansion of the Urban Growth Area is
one of the last alternatives local
governments should consider when
determining how to accommodate new
growth.
The UGA size must be based upon the
growth management population
projection made for the county by the
office of financial management.
WAC 365-196-320(4)
(Guidance)
a. Any amendment to an urban growth area
must be accompanied by an analysis of
what capital facilities investments are
necessary to ensure the provision of
adequate public facilities.
b. If new or upgraded facilities are
necessary, counties and cities must
amend the capital facilities and
transportation elements to maintain
consistency with the land use element.
c. The amended capital facilities and
transportation elements must identify
those new or expanded facilities and
services necessary to support
COML Council Packet 7-25-23, Page 191 of 196
development in new urban growth areas.
The elements must also include cost
estimates to determine the amount of
funding necessary to construct needed
facilities.
d. The capital facilities and transportation
elements should identify what
combination of new or existing funding
will be necessary to develop the needed
facilities. Funding goals should be based
on what can be raised by using existing
resources. Use of state and federal grants
should be realistic based on past trends
unless the capital facilities element
identifies new programs or an increased
amount of available funding from state or
federal sources.
e. If funding available from existing sources
is not sufficient, counties and cities should
use development phasing strategies to
prevent the irreversible commitment of
land to urban development before
adequate funding is available.
Development phasing strategies are
described in WAC 365-196-330. Counties
and cities should then implement
measures needed to close the funding
gap.
f. When considering potential changes to
the urban growth area, counties should
require that any proposal to
expand the urban growth area must
include necessary information to
demonstrate an ability to provide
adequate public facilities to any potential
new portions of the urban growth area
