MOSES LAKE,WASHINGTON
I.DESCRIPTION OF PLANNING PROGRAM
A.OUTLINE OF PLANNING PROGRAM
The proposed study extends a comprehensive geographic coverage as
well as thoroughly covering relevant functional subject matter.
The surveys and plans would cover an area which is buildable and
can be considered likely to develop within the next twenty years.
This is the Moses Lake Planning Area for which the Comprehensive
Plan will be prepared.
Periodical meetings will be held with the Planning Commission,
City Council,Downtown business groups,Civic clubs,interested
citizen groups and others,to explain the purpose of the planning
program,brief them on the progress of the work and point out the
major findings,probable implications and seek their suggestions
and participation.
The program is to be divided into three phases corresponding to
three budgetary years,with the Comprehensive Plan being completed
by the end of the second phase.The third phase would correspond
to measures of plan implementation.
B.PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.Local Goals for Development
The standards will be drafted by the Consultants and submitted
to the Planning Commission and officials for review,probable
modification and subsequent adoption.Based upon the approved
standards,surveys and studies,probable future land use esti
mates,community facilities and thoroughfare requirements will
be dimensioned and allocated to areas on the basis of demand
and the policies incorporated in the adopted standards.
2.Maps and Related Materials
a.A planimetric base map and a topographic overlay will be
prepared from existing sources for the City and adjoining
areas likely to be subject to urbanization and annexation
to the city within the next 20 to 25 years.This map
will be at a scale of not less than 600*: 1"and shall
show street and highway rights-of-way,railroads,water
courses and other planimetric features,and civil divi
sions.It shall be adequate to the presentation needs
and will be drawn on reproducible material.
-1-
b.A Central Business District Map will be drawn on repro
ducible material and its scale will be 100•:1".
c.Other special purpose maps and graphics at suitable
scales will be drawn for public presentation,illus
trative design purposes and photographic reproduction.
3.Surveys,Analyses and Studies
>»a. Economic Base Study
L7
(1)The economic work prepared in the 1965 report will
be utilized,updated and expanded where appropriate,
(2)The economic study will determine the Community^
relative economic competitive position in a larger
parent area.In addition to the general evaluation
of dollar value and transaction trends (value added
by manufacture,wholesale,retail and service re
ceipts,dollar volume trends and estimates),the
study proposes to evaluate income trends,income
sources and levels.
.(3)The employment study proposes to assess the compo
sition of the labor force,occupational structure,
productivity trends and evaluate the probable size
and composition of the local employment structure.
(4)Income and adjusted net retail buying power anal
yses will be made as a part of the over-all eco
nomic base study.Total existing and potential
available net retail buying income per unit and
totals, will be determined. Retail sales trends
correlated with the corresponding dollar amounts
for each retail merchandising category will be in
vestigated.Discrepancies between actual sales
and attainable sales will be noted for the Moses
Lake Trade Area.
b.Population Study
(1)The population work presented in the 1965 report
will be utilized,updated,refined and adapted for
the needs of the Comprehensive Plan.
(2)The population study will investigate the Commun
ity^population trends and determine how success
fully it has shared in population growth in rela
tion to the County and larger parent areas.
-2-
(3)It is proposed to arrive at a terminal population
capacity for the Planning Area through the analy
sis of vacant land capability,the approved devel
opment standards and those tools which prescribe
the density and manner of development.
(4)The proposed demographic study intends to evaluate
the trends in the composition of the Community's
population by age,sex,race and nativity,and
other pertinent characteristics.This study will
{also provide the basis for determining existing
^and future levels of trade and employment,and
for determining existing and 1980 levels of ad
justed net retail buying incomes and the corres
ponding floor and land area requirements.
c.Land Capability,Geology and Holding Capacity Studies
(1)An inventory will be made of all existing published
materials on the City's and the Planning Area's
geology,topography and soils and water.They will
be used to define and locate existing and potential
agricultural areas,surface water resources,major
soil types,major geologic and topographic features,
(2)The Area's terrain will be analyzed and classified
according to its suitability to sustain a given
use.In conjunction with the Area's net holding
capacity studies,this study will help to deter
mine the size and configuration of suitable serv
ice for schools,parks,fire stations and other
community facilities.Other information relevant
to the utilization of land in the Planning Area
will be gathered and tabulated.This information
._}will include,but not be limited to lands that are
subject to flooding,the major public and private
ownerships in the Planning Area and those lands
deemed unsuitable for intensive urban development.
(3)The Planning Area and subsequently delimited sub-
areas,will be studied in terms of their net hold
ing capacities at the terminal points of develop
ment.Any area's net holding capacity will largely
determine future community facilities and utilities
requirements,especially school,park site,right-
of-way acquisition and development.

(a)A preliminary listing and ranking,according to
importance,of housing problems within the Plan
ning Area.
(b)A preliminary listing and ranking,according to
importance,of obstructions to solving identi
fied housing problems.
(c)A summary of major planning and implementation
actions taken in the past three years and under
way to solve housing problems.
(d)A preliminary statement of annual housing plan
ning and implementation objectives covering
three to four years.
(e)An annual planning agency work program covering
three or four years.
g.Functional Area Studies
Residential,commercial,industrial,public and recrea
tional area studies will be carried out as a part of the
•formulation of the Moses Lake Comprehensive Plan in
terms of the following criteria:
CI)Trends and density of development
(2)Locational factors
(3)Land absorption rates
(4)Vacant land analysis and amounts
(5)Zoned versus used land
(6)The functional area's relationships to utilities,
thoroughfares and adjacent uses
(7)Prospects for expansion or contraction of any of
the functional areas
(8)Prospective areas for annexation
h.Community Facilities and Utilities Studies
(1)This study will consist of a complete investigation
of the existing public facilities and utilities,and
-5-
an evaluation of recent public policy decisions.
Stock-taking of the facilities and utilities and
their comparison to the adopted standards and
estimated future requirements will provide the
necessary foundation for the evaluation of the
existing and future needs in terms of the public
facilities and utilities.
j (2)The analyses will depict public schools,parks,
playgrounds,fire stations,libraries,public
^buildings,the airport,major utilities and
other relevant improvements in terms of their
present adequacy,distribution,relationships
and requirements for 1990.The public facility
and utility element will be the determining
factor for the major expenditures for Capital
Improvements Program.
i.Thoroughfare Study
CI)Land use and thoroughfare planning studies are
not new to Moses Lake.During the last decade
an entirely new approach to the thoroughfare
planning has developed,recognizing that the
older,piecemeal planning efforts provide no
lasting solutions to the transportation prob
lems.A new approach based upon comprehensive
planning principles is necessary if all ele
ments of the transportation problem are to be
considered.Such an approach recognizes the
following two principles:
U
(a)An individual road,highway or arterial
street should not be planned in isolation.
It must be recognized that the total ur
ban thoroughfare network acts as a system
in which every element affects the use and
effectiveness of other elements of the
system.Each individual facility should,
therefore,be planned and designed as a
part of the total system.The effect of
each thoroughfare link on the remainder
of the system should be tested in its abil
ity to carry projected traffic loads.
Cb)Thoroughfare planning should not be separ
ated from land use planning for two reasons
-6-
u
w
[X]The land use pattern determines the
amount and spatial distribution of
travel within an urban area.
[2]The thoroughfare system that is plan
ned and built will be one of the most
important determinants of the future
land use pattern for it forms the
framework of all urban development.
C2)A system consisting of State highways,major
County roads,and City arterial streets will be
selected and evaluated in terms of its adequacy
to serve present and future urban development.
4. Specific Area Studies
It is imperative that the Central Business District receive
special emphasis and greater detailing than the over-all Com
prehensive Plan for the Moses Lake Planning Area.The Central
Business District is an area where the land costs are high,
the space is tight and the concentration of population and
interest most intensive.In order to be able to evaluate the
present role,its potential and its ability to compete suc
cessfully with the more recent developments,the following
investigations are basic to the formulation of a plan for
growth or contraction.
a.Questionnaire Survey
Cl)A detailed questionnaire will be prepared and distri
buted to the retailers in the Moses Lake Downtown.
The questionnaire will measure the attained produc
tivity in terms of dollars in sales per gross square
foot of floor area and compare these productivities
to those obtained in other Pacific Northwest com
munities.This questionnaire will also inquire
into the attitudes,problems and aspirations of
the Downtown retailers.
C2)The policy directives,together with the question
naire responses and other factual information,will
provide the basic guidelines for the preliminary
design concepts.The size of the future popula
tion,adjusted net retail buying incomes,buying
habits,available retail facilities and their di
versity,will assist to dimension the probable
future size of the Central Business District and
the feasible size of the satellite commercial areas.
-7-
b.Central Business District (CBD)Study
The CBD will be assessed in terms of the following assets
and liabilities:
Cl)The degree of diversification as represented by the
available floor area in each major retail category
and the actual sales volume.
C2)Availability of public utilities or facilities.
(3)Spatial distribution of retail and service estab
lishments and their relationship to the vehicular,
pedestrian traffic and parking facilities.
(4)Determination of the relative value of the core
blocks in terms of tax valuation in:
Ca)Land and improvements
Cb)Front Clineal)foot valuation for core blocks
Cc)Intensity of land utilization by block
C5)Vacancy rate by block and major land ownership
patterns.
(6)Assessment of the CBD as the hub of the Moses
Lake Planning Area with respect to revitalization,
renewal and new construction in undeveloped areas.
c.Parking Study
A parking study in the Central Business core area of Moses
Lake provides the basic information for preparation of a
parking plan.It attempts to answer the basic question,
"Does the existing parking supply in the Central Business
District satisfy the existing and future parking needs?"
To provide the answers,the following field surveys will
be carried out:
Cl)The number and location of all on- and off-street
parking spaces will be inventoried.
C2)Past parking revenues will be studied and summar
ized.
(3)The available parking space supply will be related
to and compared with the floor space it serves.
-8-
Comparative parking analysis will describe under
or over supply of the existing facilities and com
pare the results with other communities.
5.Reports and Meetings
There will be no formal report as a result of this Project.
-The Consultant will meet periodically with the Planning
Commission and others to present findings and report on
progress.
II.RELATIONSHIP TO PLANNING PROGRAM
A.Detailed economic and population study was prepared prior to this
application.
B.Subsequent to this phase,the City will apply for additional funds
to carry out the second phase which will be primarily the plan prep
aration stage.The third phase will be comprised of planning im
plementation measures and capital improvements program.
III.COORDINATION
A.The proposed program will be under the sole jurisdiction of the
City.
B.The County Planning Agency is engaged in a planning program;how
ever,it is felt that their work in no way infringes or duplicates
what this application proposes.There have been frequent meetings
and the exchange of ideas with other agencies involved in planning
activities.
i *C.The City Council is aware of their planning needs and has embarked
>*=s*on a plan preparation program.The Council and the Planning Com
mission after having had an opportunity to define their long-term
development goals,which will be expressed in the Comprehensive
Plan,intend to follow and implement this long-range development
policy.
