'l 1. Provide a detailed statement of what is proposed to be changed and why -
I
I The first part of the proposal is to change the land use designation of parcels 110475168 and 1 I 0424001 from medium-density I
li residential to general commercial. The second part of the requests is to change the zoning of the two parcels from
II Residential2 to Commercial 2. The request is to allow a larger area for commercial development of the property. The Mae I
i I Valley area is in need of commercial development to meet the needs of the residents living in Mae Valley.I
'i I I
II I
I
'l I
i I
' 2. Provide a statement of anticipated impacts to be caused by the change, including geographic area affected and
issues presented -
I The proposed change will increase the amount of commercially zoned property in the Mae Valley area by approximately 2.4 acres.
The subject property is adjacent to property that is currently zoned commercial. The proposed change would increase the size of the
commercial properties and likely increase the types of commercial uses for the properties. Any adverse impacts that my result
from commercial development can be addressed during development review. The geographic area affected would be
the Mae Valley area that could be served by the commercial development of the subject property, therefore reducing the
number of vehicle trips to other parts of Moses Lake.
3. Provide a demonstration of why an existing comprehensive plan goal, policy, 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 appropriately scaled uses that support residential neighborhoods such as schools,
religious institutions, home occupations, small-scale neighborhood commercial uses.
Land Use Policy 3.4.2; Enhance the character, function, and economic vitality of Moses Lake's gateway corridors (routes into/out of
Downtown from 1-90 and other high visibility commercial corridors). These two land use policies support commercial
development in residential neighborhoods and along interstate-90. The subject parcels are adjacent to a residential
neighborhood and near an off-ramp of 1-90. These two policies should remain in effect and support the proposed requests
to change the land use designation and zoning of the two parcels.
I
I
I4. Provide a statement of how the amendment complies with the comprehensive plan's community vision
Istatement, goals, objectives, and policy directives -
Expanding the commercial ares of these two parcels by changing the land use designation and zoning to commercial will comply with I
i the vision statement by encouraging revitilization of the City's commercial areas by adding a mix of uses. The proposal to expand the ,'
I commercial zoning of the properties meets the intent Transportation Policy ei.a.:_ by minimizing the demand for travel by providing a mixture of compatible and 1
complimentary uses next to each other.

5. Provide a statement of how facility plans and capital improvement plans support the change -
The proposed changes support the 1-90 improvement project found in the Capital Facilities element of the Comp Plan by working to increase the
commercial opportunites in the Mae Valley area. This can reduce congestion and the number of vehicle trips onto 1-90 and onto Broadway Avenue or Highway 17.
Commercial development at this site will trigger any current requirements for road improvements, including curb, gutter, and sidewalks, thereby increasing
the walkability of the area.

6. Provide a statement of how the change affects land use regulations (i.e., Zoning, subdivision, etc.) and the
necessary text changes to bring the land use regulations into compliance with the plan -
The proposed change would affect the zoning or the two parcels but existing land use regulations would remain unchanged. No I
changes to the comp plan text to bring the land use regulations into compliance, are proposed or needed.I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
7. Provide a demonstration of public review of the recommended change -
The public review process will follow MLMC 19.55.070 to make the public aware of the requested proposal and allow them the oppportunity to
I
comment on the proposed zoning change. Notification to the public will be made with a posting on site as well as limited direct mailings, legal I
advertisements, and notices posted in public places. A representative of the applicant and or the applicant themselves will be available at any and all I
public meetings to present the request and answer any questions from the public or City staff.I

IThe land use element of the comprehensive plan states that the population of Moses Lake has grown by an average of 2.4% annually since 2015.I
I As the population grows, the need for urban commercial services grows, especially in the Mae Valley area where literally hundreds of new single-II
I family homes have been built over the past decade. The land use element states that the City's ability to attract business is key to the economic strength and I
I
I employment diversity of the region. Increased commercial area in the parts of Moses Lake experiencing some of the fastest growth will help attract and I
i retain businesses.The land use designation for the subject properties will need to be changed from medium-density residential to I
I support the proposed rezone. The resulting change is compatible with existing conditions on and near the site that show Residential-2 and I
Commercial-2 zoned property adjacent to each other.I

Project Narrative in support of enclosed application documents formally petitioning a Land
Use Designation cliange and a Site-Specific Rezone for property located on Parcels #
11 0475 168 and 110424001 located in a poition of Township 19 North, Range 28 East, Section
29, W.M. Moses Lake, Grant Cormty, Wasliington.
Dear Plaruiing Department,
The following narrative is to describe a request to change the Future Land Use designation of Parcels
110475168 and 110424001 from Medirun-density Residential to Gateway Commercial to suppoit a site-
specific rezone from Residential 2 to Commercial 2.
Tlie two vacant parcels are located at tlie intersection of Westlake Road and Westsliore Drive, west of Blue
Heron Park and nortli of Interstate-90. The combined area of tlie two parcels is approximately 3.7 acres.
No site development is planned at tliis time.
The parcels l'iave frontage on, and are accessible from, Westlake Road and Westshore Drive. Tlie parcels
have a split zoning with tlie soutliern approxii'nately I 50' zoned Commercial 2 with the nortliern remainder
zoned Residential2. The request for tlie site-specific rezone to Commercial 2 would allow for commercial
development of the entire 3.7 acres. The parcels are not in the 100-year flood zone. Tlie WDFW priority
l'iabitat species map shows two areas of interest on tl'ie properties. The DAHP Wissard website shows no
identified liistoric cultiiral resorirces on tlie site.
The enclosed application documents include an Application Form, Environmental Checklist, and
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition. Assessment of various online resources were used in the
preparation of this application. Resources include the City of Moses Lake Zoning Code, City of Moses
Lake Comprehensive Plan, City of Moses Lake Future Land Use Map, the USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey,
WDFW Priority Habitat Species website, FEMA online flood mapping and, Deparh'nent of Arcliaeology
and Historic Preservation, in addition to GIS and Google Mapping.
Through extensive evaluation of this proposal, we conclude this Comprehensive Plan Ai'nendment for Site-
Specific Land Use Redesignation and Rezone supports tlie landowner and applicant's desires for proposed
zoning and future use. This proposal is also supported by the City of Moses Lake Compreliensive Plan to
support and increase commercial opportunities in response to property location and current/future
population growth.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PETITION
Amendment Information: The merits of a proposed amendment shall be measured against the
petition submittal requirements listed below to ensure consistency in the review and decision-making. I
Please provide the following information (attach additional pages if necessary):
1. Provide a detailed statement of what is proposed to be changed and why -
II The proposal is to change the adopted Future Land Use Designation and Zone Designation of Parcel # 110752000 from Medium Density Residential I
II and R-2 to High Density residential and R-3 respectively. The change is proposed sought in order to increase the density and provide a land use
II that is more compatible with adjacent R-3, Multi-Family and C-2, General Commercial zoning.
II
II
II I
II '
I 2. Provide a statement of anticipated impacts to be caused by the change, including geographic area affected and
issues presented -
Potential impacts caused by the changes requested revolve around increased density and housing units. Most likely impact caused by the
I change is vehicular trip generation. Given the scale of the site, the additional trip generation would be marginal. The current R-2 zone has a
I general range of 4-8 DU/AC and the R-3 zone has a general range of 6-15 DU/AC. The site is O.63 acres which the change would support I
I a limited increase in density which speaks to the additional trip generation.
I
I
I
I 3. Provide a demonstration of why an existing comprehensive plan goal, policy, or recommendation should be
continued to be in effect or why an existing goal, policy, or recommendation no longer applies -
This does not apply given the request is a Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment not a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment.

I
6. Provide a statement of how the change affects land use regulations (i.e., Zoning, subdivision, etc.) and the
necessary text changes to bring the land use regulations into compliance with the plan -
The proposed Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment would affect the current underlying zoning of the site. The proposal would change the zoning
I of the property from R-2, Single Family and Two Family Residential to R-3, Multi-Family Residential.
I
I This proposed Amendment does not require a text change and is not applicable.I
I
I
I
I
7. Provide a demonstration of public review of the recommended change -
The proposed Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment would be part of the City of Moses Lake 2023 Comprehensive Plan update cycle, which is subject to

I
I
I
I
I
I
I

8. Provide a detailed statement describing how the map amendment complies with the comprehensive plan land use
element (use for map amendment only) -
I
The proposed Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment complies with the Land Use Element, specifically the High Density Residential Locational Criteria I
that include: 1 ) Residential land abutting non-residential zone: 2) Area characterized by existing multifamily residential development or mix of residential.
The site abuts C-2, General Commercial a non-residential zone. The site abuts existing R-3 Multi Family Residential development and a mix of other I
residential development.I
The Amendment also complies with Policy 3.3. 1 of the Land Use Element. Policy 3.3.1 also supports Ch. 18.20 Residential Zones that states the R-3 Zone
"may also serve as a transitional buffer area between commercial area and low density residential areas." The site abuts a "commercial area". It should I
be noted that the description of the R-2 zone in Ch. 18.20 does not mention anything about a transition between commercial and low density residential.I

Law Enforcement
Overview
The Moses Lake Police Department (MLPD) provides all law enforceinent services for tlie City of
Moses Lake witliin city limits. Law enforcement within tlie UGA is currently provided by the Grant
County Slieriffs Office. As of the date of this report in 2024, tlie department liad 49 personnel, of
wliicli 42 were commissioned officers. Tlie department responds to about 20,200 calls for service
annually.
Inventory
MLPD operates a police station at 411 S Balsam Street next to the City Hall. The building was
completed in 1978 and houses tlie City's entire police staff.
The MLPD also has two special use vehicles outside of the normal patrol fleet. One of tlie vehicles is
an arn'iored Bearcat tliat was purcliased in 2020 as a used product. The ot}ier is a large panel van
utilized as an equipi'nent veliicle for the tactical team.
Level of Service Standards
LOS for police protection is expressed in terms of response times and staffing level as SIIOWII in
Exhibit 30, The main factors affecting LOS are tlie population served and the nun'iber of calls for
service. Future needs for police services are based on tl'ie LOS standard of 1.7 conunissioned
officers per 1,000 population establis)ied in tlie Capital Facilities Element of tlie Compreliensive
Plan.
At t)ie time of tliis report in 2024 LOS staffing ratio is 1.62 cominissioned officers per 1,000
population; the comprehensive plan establislies a response time LOS standard of 5 minutes for high
priority calls.

Looking into tlie future, population growtli will lead to increased demand for police services. Using
the LOS of 1,7 officers per 1,000 population, MLPD will need to add at least 19 officers by 2038 over
current staffing levels. See Exliibit 31.

In 2024 all emergency services will move to a new Records Management/Computer Aided Dispatcli
system. The new system will allow the department to calculate future personnel needs more
effectively. Tliis systen'i lias tlie capabili ty to capture tlie actual time commissioned staff spend on
all types of calls and otlier activities tliat are not currently tracked. Tlie use of tliis data may affect
the number of commissioned staff moving forward over tlie traditional officer per tliousand n'iodel.
Tlie addition of new officers will require the addition of siew or expanded capital facilities as well as
equipment to maintain expected level of service standards. The City's current police station has not
been expanded since its original construction in 1978 to serve a population of around 10,000. The
only additional space provided to the MLPD came in 2023 when tl'ie Parks and Recreation
Department moved to their new facility and that side of the building was repurposed for police use.

Ch. 6 Transportation
Introduction
The transportation element is a key element of the City of Moses
Lake Comprehensive Plan and is one of six reqriired 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 tliat 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 inade
concurrent witli development. Concurrent means that tlie improvements or strategies are in place
at the time of development, or tliat a financial commitment is in place to complete the
improvements or strategies within six years.

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, tlie region benefits from irrigation water and low-cost
hydroelectricity, which support the region's industry. Grant County is tlie 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, wliich has a complex shape. Tlie 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 rorites 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 tlie success of the businesses
operating in Moses Lake. The northern part of Moses Lake and surrorinding 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.
Tliis is an area of regional importance, serving as a shopping destination for people from all around
Moses Lake, the only college within the basin areai 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/Westsliore
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:
N affl Moses Lake Togetl'iei' - Creating Our Futurei November 2021 6-2 Comp Plan 0040 ORDINANCE #3065
2024 DocketDocument Ref: TVHPV-NU2QP-PZFBI-SAHNV Page 45 of 170
Ch. 6 Transportation
a 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.
a 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.
s 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 siinilarly classifies their street system as primary, secondary, tertiary, or residential
streets. These classifications guide the standard to whicli the street is constructed.
a 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.
a 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.
a 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.
a Residential streets are all City streets that are not classified as either a primary street,
secondary street, or tertiary street.

connections for local traffic.
State
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) maintains I-90 and SR 17 as they

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 witli 31.03 miles of shoulder greater than 4-
feet, 4.06 miles of bike lanes, and 2.16 miles of sliarrows.
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 tlie 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 tlie 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 reqriirement for a planter strip by
installing an eiglit-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 pat}is tliat are designated for bicycle and pedestrian use. Activity trails are ffpically
ten feet (1 0 ) wicie, unobstructed trails, witli foui- feet (4') or more of clearance on eacli side,
arid ten feet (1 0 ) of vertical cleararice. Activity trails may be widened sidewalks, designated
roadway lanes, or sepai-ate trails from sidewalks or streets. The Activify Ti-ail Master P/(1)7 tliat
was adopted by Ciff Council provides guidance or'i tlie consti-uction of activity trails arid their
locatioris a trail or path desigr'iated for bicycle or pedestriari 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 % mile longer if the pedestrian path
is not provided (MLMC 17.21.040).
Currently, all City parks and public scliools can be accessed by activity trails. Tlie 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.
a Joe Rodgers Trail which extends from Valley Road at Central Drive to Big Bend Community

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 tlian 35 miles per hour and
identify specific bikes routes designated by the City where there is not enougli space for a dedicated
bike lane.

Transit
Public Transit System
Grant Transit Aut}iority (GTA), the priblic 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
lias expanded since 1996 and currently provides bus service throughout the City of Moses Lake,
Eplirata, 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 rorite 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 tlie 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 Greyhorind 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
ofl-90 has 59 parking spaces, including 3 accessible spaces. The second lot located north of the city
on SR 17 along Randolph Road near tlie 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 witliin the City. Routes approved as "througli 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 autliorized 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
liave an aircraft approach speed of less tlian 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 meinbers 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, tlie
U.S. Air Force, and many aerospace oriented users and air carriers from around the world.
Passenger serv'ce 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 fohu- 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 tlie 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 freiglit 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
tlirough 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 ofthis 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
witliin tlie 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 arito 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 vel'iicle, 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 tliat 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 futrire, 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 BroadwayAvenue 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
oritside of city limits. The growth rate used in the analysis was the average of the city identified
growth rate of 3% (2013 Compreliensive 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.

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 partnersliip 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.
>. a LEGEND
-'ijt
Tlie first step in the process was to identify baseline level of service. Tlie 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). Thp ntx't" Jpp 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 growtli for the next twenty-years, this eqriates 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 tlie 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.

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 sectiori of the plan outlines an impi-ovement plan that will help the
City to meet transportation demands into the future. Tlie City of Moses Lake has conducted several
studies and analyses over tlie past few years wliich form tlie basis of tl'iis 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 tlie road system. Some specific projects are described
below, with the complete project list provided in Exhibit 6-12 and Exliibit 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 prirchase 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 detennined 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. Tliese improvements
will require coordination with WSDOT. The proposed improvements are shown in Exhibit 6-11.

The recommended alternative has already been implemented at this intersection; however, the
intersection is still forecast to fail in the future. Tliis 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 tliat remove through traffic from Stratford Road.

Mae Valley Analysis
Althorigh not complete at tlie time of tliis plan's adoption, the Mae Valley Analysis is indicating that
several road improvement projects will be reqriired 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 tlie 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 prirpose of the Yonezawa ICE is to support
adding a fourth leg to tlie intersection to allow the roadway to extend to the east.
Tl'ieICE 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 tlie
addition of traffic from the growth forecast. This includes botli 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 growtli and traffic in
the future. Without taking a comprehensive look at the surrounding area, growth will be limited by
tlie 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 higl'i 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 improveinents 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
shorild be implemented.

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 tliat time.
Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan
The Six-Year TransportationImprovement Plan (TIP) must be updated annually and be adopted by
City Council. The Six-Year TIP provides a sliort-term list of projects and their funding sources that
are planned to be implemented over tlie 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. Tlie most current Six-Year TIP is available from tl'ie
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 tlie 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 tlie 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 1-90 to SR 17 to evaluate for revitalization.

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 througliout tlie City. In 2005, the City developed an Activity Trails Master Plan
through a robust public process witli a list of projects and their descriptions. Exhibit 6-14 identifies
several of tlie trails proposed within tlie 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 resei'ving future connections on undeveloped land or
rights of way. The exliibit also SIIOWS wliere bikes lanes are proposed as part of a road diet. For
more specific information the proposed trail systen'i, 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 tl'ie road to cross tlie 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 tliat a strategy tliat shifts tlie lanes to the east and widens the sidewalk on tlie west side
of tlie bridge to 6-feet was tlie best strategy and could be implemented along witli or prior to signal
improvements at the tliree nearby intersections. Exhibit 6-15 demonstrates the current and
proposed bridge sections.

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 tlie 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. Exliibit 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 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

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.
a 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.
ffl 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 nortli 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 worild 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 wliich 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 tlie 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 rise 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 priblic facilities that serve
a development. Maintaining currency means that the public facilities that are necessary to support
tlie development are in place as tlie 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 sliould 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. Tlie program focuses 011 improving transportation
facilities to increase safety and usability for multi-modal travel. All overarching goal is to reduce
congestion by providing alternatives to driving. In 2011, Washington state establislied 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 tlie Complete Streets Program is to ensure all users are planned for iri the
construction of all City trarisportation improvement projects. Tlie City of A'loses Lake
encoui-ages healthy, active livirig, reduction oftraffic congestion arid fossil fuels, and

The Ciff of Moses Lake will plan for, design, and construct all new trarisportatiori pr'ojects
to provide reasorqable and appropriate accornrnodations for bicyclists, pedesti-iaris, arid
transit usei-s; except in tlie followirig cases:
1. Where the establishment would be contrary to public safely.

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 Autliority 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 T DM, 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.

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.

adequate resources can be identified to provide adequate transportation
improvements
B. Reassess tlie City's land use plan to reduce the travel demand placed 011 the system
to tlie 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:

Decrease the cost of the facility by changing project scope or finding less expensive alternatives.
Decrease the demand for the priblic service. Tl'iis 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 amorint 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 O.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) autliorizes cities and counties to form TBDs. TBD revemie can be used for
transportation projects sucl'i 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 ot' the
transportation system improvement plan. Tliis element assumes the funding will be renewed in
2027, and that grants, developer mitigation, and otlier funding sources will supplement tlie funding
source.
Impact Fees
State law (RCW 82.02.OS0) 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

exclusively address an existing traffic operations or safety issue withorit providiiig 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 tliat 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 witli 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 (0.2S%) taxes on
real estate sales (total O.5%). Tlie 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 sorirce of funding for capital improvements and maintenance. The City
actively submits for grants from several funding sorirces. 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.

Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of the Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) Appendix is to use sound fiscal policies to provide
adequate public facilities consistent with the land use, transportation, parks and capital facilities,
and utilities elements and concurrent with, or prior to, the impacts of development to achieve and
maintain adopted standards for levels of service.
T)ie Capital Facilities Element and associated CFP Appendix are required components oftlie
Comprehensive Plan to guide capital planning necessary to provide services to the community (CFP
refers collectively to botli the element policies and this supporting appendix). Capital facilities are
significant projects for jurisdictions to fund, build, and maintain, and tlie sooner a jurisdiction plans
for its needs the better they can do to meet their needs. Tlie Comprehensive Plan and CFP are 20-
year policy and planning documents (or sometimes longer). Some jurisdictions create Capital
Improvement Program with a 6-year time horizon for budgetary purposes, which may be
incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan and associated CFP.
Together, these documents guide the development of capital facilities needed to support forecasted
population and employment growtli over the next 20 years. This CFP updates the inventory of
current capital facilities owned by the City, establishes the Level of Service Standards (LOS) that
measures the benefits the City can provide, and includes a project summary that forecasts the
expected capital facilities needs and investments over the next 20 or more years.
Growth ManagementAct Requirements
The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that the Capital Facilities Element
of a Comprehensive Plan include an inventory, projected needs, and funding and financing for
facilities and infrastructure. This CFP Appendix is intended to provide the technical foundation -
inventory, service standards, capacity, proposed projects, and funding as appropriate - for the GMA
required Capital Facilities Element. The goals and policies for these required elements are
contained in the Capital Facilities Element of Moses Lake's Comprehensive Plan.
GMA requires that all comprehensive plans contain a Capital Facilities plan element. GMA specifies
that the capital facilities plan element should consist of: a) an inventory of existing capital facilities
owned by public entities; b) a forecast of the future needs for capital facilities; c) the proposed
locations and capacities of expanded or new capital facilities; d) a six-year CFP that will finance
capital facilities within projected funding capacities and clearly identifies sources of public money
for such purposes; and e) a requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls
short of existing needs. (RCW 36.70a.070(3))
The GMA requires the CFP to identify specific facilities, inclride a realistic financing plan (for the six-
year period), and make adjustment to the plan if funding is inadequate. Capital facilities are

Comp Plan 0089 ORDINANCE #3065
2024 DocketDocument Ref: TVHPV-NU2QP-PZFBI-SAHNV Page 94 of 170
important because they support the growth envisioned in the City's Comprehensive Plan. GMA
requires tl'iat all capital facilities have "probable funding" to pay for capital facility needs, and that
jurisdictions have capital facilities in place and readily available when new development comes in
or must be of sufficient capacity when the population grows, particularly for transportation
(concurrency) or for services deemed necessary to support development.
Levels of service (LOS) are established in tlie CFP and represent quantifiable measures of capacity.
They are minimum standards establislied by the City to provide capital facilities and services to the
Chelan community at a certain level of quality and witliin the financial capacity of tlie City or special
district provider. LOS standards are influenced by local citizens, elected and appointed officials,
national standards, mandates, and other considerations, such as available funding. Examples of LOS
measures include: amount of intersection delay, acres parks or miles of trails per 1,000 population,
gallons of water per capita per day, and others. Tliose facilities and services necessary to support
growth should have LOS standards and facilities.
Recent Growth Management Hearings Board cases liave placed more importance on the
preparation and implementation of CFPs. The key points include:
' Capital facilities plans should address the 20-year planning period and be consistent with
growth allocations assumed in the Land Use Element. Capital facilities plans should also
demonstrate an ability to serve the full city limits and Urban Growth Area (UGA).
' Financial plans should address at least a 6-year period and funding sources should be specific
and committed. The City should provide a sense of the funding sources for the 20-year period
thougli it can be less detailed than for the 6-year period.
Growth, LOS standards, and a funded capital improvement program are to be in balance. In the case
where tlie LOS cannot be met by a service or facility, tlie jurisdiction could do one of the following:
1) add proposed facilities within funding resources, 2) reduce deinand through demand
management strategies, 3) lower LOS standards, 4) phase growth, or 5) change the land use plan.
Definition of Capital Facilities
Capital facilities generally have a long useful life and include city and non-city operated
infrastructure, buildings, and equipment. Capital facilities planning does not cover regular
operation and maintenance, but it does include major repair, rehabilitation, or reconstruction of
facilities.
The CFP addresses infrastructure (such as streets, roads, traffic signals, sewer systems, stormwater
systems, water systems, parks, etc.) and public facilities through which services are offered (such as
fire protection structures and major equipment, law enforcement strrictures, schools, etc.). Per
WAC 365-196-415, at a minimum, those capital facilities to be included in an inventory and analysis
are water systems, sewer systems, stormwater systems, schools, parks and recreation facilities,
police facilities and fire facilities. Moses Lake's CFP also describes solid waste collection (Refuse),
tlie local municipal airport, and the local priblic library system.

Sources and Assumptions
The CFP is based on the following sources of information and assumptions:
' CapitalFacilityFunctionalorSystemPlans.Capitalfacilityfunctionalorsystemplansofthe
City of Moses Lake or other service providers were reviewed for inventories, levels of service,
planned facilities, growth forecasts, and potential funding.
Growth Forecasts. Population and job growth forecasts were allocated to the City of Moses
Lake through the County wide Planning Policies for Grant County. The 2020 population as well
as the 2027 (six-year) and 2038 population (18-year) growth for each facility provider is
estimated.
Revenue Forecasts. Revenues were forecasted for Moses Lake city facilities to year 2038. The
sources of revenue are summarized from available plans and compared to typical revenue
sources for those service providers.
Capital Facilities Revenue
Analysis
Overview
The revenue analysis of the Capital Facilities Plan supports the financing for providing facilities and
services, as required by RCW 36.70A.070(3)(d). Revenue estimates, using assumptions that are
based on historical trends, are used to represent realistic expectations for revenue that may be
available for capital funding.
This revenue analysis looks at the City of Moses Lake's capital facility revenues for municipal
services. Through identifying fiscal constraints in the future, and potential gap funding options,
project prioritization can be incorporated into tlie capital planning process.
The revenue analysis provides an approximate, and not exact, forecast of future revenue sources.
The numbers projected in this analysis are for planning purposes and do not account for
sensitivities such as local, state, and federal policy, economic trends, and other factors.
Funding the Capital Facilities Plan
Estimated future revenues are projected for the Plan's 2020 - 2038 planning period, in year of
expenditure dollars. The following revenue analysis is organized according to the following
categories:
N General Capital Revenues. Revenues under the category of general capital revenues are the
revenues required by law to be used for capital projects. The general capital revenues in Moses
Lake consist of REET 1 and REET 2.
Moses L,ike Toget)iei' - Ci'eciting Ouia Fcittii'ei Appendi><: Capital Facilities Plan 3
Comp Plan 0091 ORDINANCE #3065
2024 DocketDocument Ref: TVHPV-NU2QP-PZFBI-SAHNV Page 96 of 170
As a note, though REET 1 and REET 2 revenues can be used for a variety of different capital
projects, Moses Lake has historically used REET 1 and REET 2 revenues to fund transportation
capital projects.
Dedicated Capital Revenues. Dedicated revenues are required to be used for certain types of
capital spending, outlined by the law. The dedicated capital revenues in Moses Lake include
park mitigation fees and grants.
a Operating Transfers. Operating transfers are revenue sources tliat are transferred to capital
improvement funds from operating funds. Although these are not dedicated sources to be relied
on for capital funding, it has been the historical practice of tlie City to regularly make transfers
into capital improvement funds for certain service departments. Those are calculated
separately as the practice may be cominon enough to be considered a potential funding source,
however these transfers are not dedicated to capital spending and could be used elsewhere.
' Potential Policy Options and Other Funding Sources. Tliere are additional policy tools and
sources available to fund capital projects.
Assumptions
The assumptions used in this analysis may not align with the City's future budget assumptions
around the same revenue sources as the purpose of the two analyses is different. The City's budget
estimates how much money the City will have available for spending in the coming fiscal year while
this CFP revenue analysis estimates how much revenue, that will be specifically allocated to capital
projects, the City is likely to receive in total over the next six and 20 years.
For each revenue source, revenue projections were estimated using various methodologies,
depending on trends in historical revenues and best available information. These methodologies
are as follows:
' Projecting revenues based on a historical per capita rate and growing based on population
growth
Projecting revenues based on a constant historical value
Projecting revenues based on existing revenue projections
Population growth is assumed to be consistent with population projections outlined in the City's
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element.
General/Dedicated Capital Revenues and
Operating Transfers
Streets
The City's Street Repair/Reconstruction Fund (Fund 119) provides funding for the City's
transportation capital projects. Funding sources for the Street Repair/Reconstruction Fund include
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) 1 and REET 2, transfers of sales tax from the Moses Lake
Transportation Benefit District (TBD), axid state grants.
(liloses Lake Togethei' - Ci'eating Oui' Futtii'ei Appci'idia<: Capiecil Facilities Plan 4. Comp Plan 0092 ORDINANCE #3065
2024 DocketDocument Ref: TVHPV-NU2QP-PZFBI-SAHNV Page 97 of 170
Street Repair/Reconstruction Fund: REET I & REET 2
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) revenues are collected on property sales at t)ie point of sale. They are
required by law to be spent on capital projects. REET is based on the total value of real estate
transactions in a given year, and the amount received annually can vary significantly based on
fluctuations in the real estate market and trends in the economy.
Moses Lake is authorized by the state to impose two separate REET levies. REET 1 and REET 2 eacb
allow for a levy of O.25% on the assessed value of a sale, for a total tax of O.5% of total assessed
value. All proceeds must be used for capital spending, as defined in RCW 35.43.040. REET II is more
restricted than REET I, as it may not be spent on acquisition of land for parks, recreation facilities,
law enforcement facilities, fire protection facilities, trails, libraries, or administrative or judicial
facilities (RCW 82.46.035). REET 2, specifically, can only be levied by those cities and counties that
are planning under GMA. For REET 2, the capital projects must be those specifically listed in RCW

Street Repair/Reconstruction Fund: TBD Sales and Use Tax
In 2018, through voter approval, the City's Transportation Benefit District (TBD) began collecting
0.2'!/o in sales and use taxes to be used for transportation projects and maintenance. These sales and
use tax revenues are collected by the TBD and transferred to the Street Repair/Reconstruction
Fund.
The TBD sales and use taxing option is limited to 10 years, with the ability to renew the saIes and
use tax by voter approval for additional 10-year periods. For the pcirposes of this analysis, the TBD
sales and use tax is assumed to be renewed by voters in 2028 to 2038.
This analysis leverages existing budgeted projections for TBD sales and use tax revenues in 2020
and 2021. Revenue projections for TBD sales and use tax revenues after 2021 are based on the
historical percentage of total taxable retail sales that TBD sales and use taxes have represented in
the City. Total taxable retail sales were projected throrigh 2038 based on average annual per capita
total taxable retail sales observed in the City from 2006 to 2019. TBD sales and use taxes
represented around O.187'/o of total taxable retail sales within Moses Lake, on average, from 2018
to 2019. This percentage was applied to total taxable retail sales projections to derive TBD sales
and use tax revenue projections.
See Exhibit 2 for actual and projected TBD sales and use tax revenues for the Streets

Parks and Recreation
The City has two capital improvement funds for parks and recreation capital projects: the Park and
Recreation Improvement Capital Fund (Fund 314) and the Park Mitigation Capital Fund (Fund
315). Funding sources for the Parks and Recreation Improvement Fund consist of transfers of
Hotel/Motel Sales Tax as well as other operating transfers from the City's General Fund. Funding
sources for the Park Mitigation Capital Fund consist of mitigation fees paid by new developments.
Parks and Recreation Improvement Fund: Hotel/Motel Sales Tax
Revenues
In accordance with RCW 67.28.180, the City imposes a 2% tax on all charges for furnishing lodging
at )iotels, motels, and similar establishments. This tax is taken as a credit against the 6.5o/o state
sales tax-in other words it does not add to the sales tax charged for lodging. Tlie City refers to this
as the "first" 2% lodging tax. The City also levies a local option 2% tax in accordance with RCW
67.28.181, the "second" 2o/o lodging tax which brings the total received by the City to 4% of tl'ie
lodging cliarges.
Historically, the City has directed the first 2o/o of the tax to tl"ie Parks and Recreation Improvement
Fund and has used that revenue for debt service related to water park capital improvements. These
revenues are kept in the City's general fund and transferred to the Pai-ks and Recreation
Improvement Fund for expenditure.
Revenue projections for hotel/motel sales taxes are assumed to be revenues from the "first" 2% tax
and are based on the historical percentage oftotal taxable retail sales that hotel/motel taxes that
have represented in the City. Total taxable retail sales were projected through 2038 based on
average annual per capita total taxable retail sales observed in the City from 2006 to 2019.

ParkMitigation Capital Fund: Park Mitigation Fees
As mentioned above, the City's Park Mitigation Capital Fund is funded by mitigation fees paid by
new development. Mitigation fees )'iave averaged around $130,000 annually from 2017 to 2019.
Collections for 2016 were unusually high and excluded from the average to be more conservative
for planning purposes.
This analysis leverages budgeted projections for mitigation fee revenues for 2020 and 2021.

Water/Sewer
The City has two capital improvement funds for water and wastewater capital projects: the
Water/Sewer Construction Fund (Fund 477') and the Water Rights Fund (Fund 471).
The City's Water/Sewer Construction Fund is used to fund water and wastewater capital projects.
Funding sources for the Water/Sewer Construction Fund consists of operating transfers from tlie
City's water/sewer operating fund.
The Water Rights Fund has no regularly dedicated frmding sources and is funding by operating
transfers wlien opportunities to purchase water rights arise.
Water/Sewer: Total Estimated Capital Revenues
As mentioned above, tlie City's Water/Sewer Constrriction Fund is funded by operating transfers on

water/sewer operating fund are primarily from utility cl'iarges. The City sets utility rates, in part,
based on planned water and sewer capital projects.
Projections for water/sewer capital revenues are based on planned water/sewer capital projects
over the planning period. Revenues projections for water/sewer capital revenues are assumed to
match planned project costs.

project costs for the six-year planning horizon of 2022-2027 in order to understand the difference
between future dedicated capital costs and potential future revenues. This analysis is done for the

longer-term outlook would provide an increasingly less accurate estimate of a potential funding gap
or surplus.

Policy Options and Other Funding Sources
There are additional policy tools and sources available to the City to fund capital projects. These
policy tools and soru-ces include:
Bonds. The City has used and can use Bonds to support capital facilities funding. Moses Lake
has a rating of A+- from Standard and Poor's on its general obligation bonds.
Impact Fees. Impact fees are a financing tool allowed under state law that requires new
development to pay a portion of the costs associated with infrastructure improvements tliat are
related to the development. GMA allows agencies to implement a transportation, parks, fire, and
school impact fee program to help fund some of the costs of capital facilities needed to
accommodate growth. State law requires that impact fees be related to improvement that serve
new developments and not existing deficiencies, that they're assessed proportional to the
impacts of new development, that they're allocated for improvements that reasonably benefit
new development, and that they're spent on facilities identified in the Capital Facilities Plan.
' LocalImprovementDistrict/RoadlmprovementDistrict(IID/RID).LIDsandRIDsare
taxing districts that the City has the statutory authority to create. A district could be used to
levy additional property tax to cover debt service payments on the sale of bonds purchased to
finance projects within the district. Revenues from the levy must be used for local, clearly-
defined areas where the land owners are being assessed the additional tax benefit. LID, by law,
can be used for water, sewer, and stormwater projects. RIDs may be used for road funding and
street improvements.
State Infrastructure Authorities. The City has options for creating specialized authorities to
fund public infrastructure, such as Public Facility Districts and Public Development Autliorities.
These authorities each have specific purposes and formation requirements. In 2021, the
Washington State Legislature authorized local jurisdictions to form tax increment financing
(TIF) districts. Under this new authority, the City can have up to two TIF districts at any one
time. As authorized, TIF districts can collect incremental increases in property taxes within a
defined area to pay for public improvements.
Grants. State and Federal grant programs can be pursued for competitive regional priorities for
infrastructure investments. Pursing grant opportunities requires resources, and success is not
guaranteed.
' Public-Private Partnerships. Public-private partnerships are joint agreements between a
governmental jurisdiction and private corporation (including 501(c)3s). Public-Private
Partnerships have legal requirements and iSSueS of control that must be considered on a case-
by-case basis. Washington State's constitutional restriction on public entities giving or lending
funds and credit to private enterprises requires that public entities need to demonstrate that
any partnership with a private entity will generate public good worth more than the value
provided to the private entity.l
' Development Project Mitigation. Under the Washington State Environmental Policy Act, the
City can require mitigation measures from individual private development projects. These
mitigation measures can take the form of fees, specified public infrastructure, or changes to

' Funding from Legtslative Action. The State may restore some of the funding levels once
available to local governments for road improvements through Legislative action. Although
local jurisdictions receive a certain percentage of collected MVFT funds, a combination of
factors such as decreasing gas prices and a reduction in both vehicle miles driven and vehicle
fuel efficiency has resulted in local MVFT allocations that are generally not keeping pace with
inflation. In order to restore funding levels, the City could encourage legislators to follow the
recent gas tax increase with measures tliat raise the tax rate alongside cost inflation and
increase the tax rate over time with fuel efficiency improvements.

Project Summary
The following section details proposed parks capital projects for the 2022-2027 period as well as additional parks capital projects planned
beyond the six-year CFP time period.
It is important to note that over time, priorities can change, and new funding sources can become available or existing funding sources can be
eliminated or shifted. Also, opportunities for the ability to acquire land or the option to develop a project can arise and change the proposed
project list.
The keyto funding the proposed project list is a combination ofgrants, general obligation bonds for large projects either approved bythe voters
or authorized by City Council action and the use of general fund budget funds or special tourism excise tax. See Exhibit 18.

Wastewater
Overview
The City's Public Works Department provides wastewater services to the City of Moses Lake
including wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal for areas within the City as well as the
UGA.
Inventory
Tlie City's wastewater systein consists of two independent collection, treatment, and disposal
systems: the Sand Dunes System and the Larson System. The Sand Dunes System serves tlie entire
service area except for the Larson area whicli is essentially the el4fonner Air Base. Total
wastewater accounts served in 2023 were-7-,,9419. Total lineal feet of pipe was
--7-8,710371 of gravity sewer main, 22,371of low-pressure effluent main,,144566 of
force main, and 1,328 of siplion, for a total of almost 3-166 miles of rminicipal sewer pipe. The
following are descriptions of the City's major wastewater facilities:
Sand Dunes Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
The Sand Dunes WWTP is located at 1801 Road K SE. This is tlie main treatment plant for the city,
serving a population of more than 20,000. The site includes a 3,646 square foot testing Jab, which
was expanded in 2008. There are two wastewater plant operators stationed in tliis building.
Larson Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
The I,arson Wl/VTP is located at 6691 Randolph Road. This is a rmich smaller facility, serving a

Level of Service Standards
The City's 2015 Wastewater System Master Plan does not identify Level of Service Standards. At the
tin'ie of tliis revision, tlie City is actively updating tl'>e Wastewater System Master Plan, but it has not
yet been adopted by council. The Department of Ecology (DOE) recoi'nmends, "Treatment plants
designed to serve existing sewerage systems sliould be designed on the basis of characteristics of
sewage obtained from the operating records of the treatment works," (Criteria for Sewage Works
Design, DOE, G2-2, G2.1.2.3). The City relies on DOE recommendations, as noted in the Criteria for
Sewage Works Design Manual, for planning purposes. The City's Level of Service standard for
wastewater is a system capacity that allows collection of peak discharge plus infiltration and inflow.

Level of Service Standards
Moses Lake's Comprehensive Plan does not identify a LOS standard for water, however, it does
identify criteria to evaluate the sizing, supply facilities, storage volume, siting distribution system,
pressure zone boundaries and pump stations. Tliese criteria comply with the Department of Health
and are considered adequate. At t)ie time of tliis update, the Water Comprehensive Plan is currently
being revised but )ias not yet been accepted by tlie council. Tliere may be clianges to t)ie criteria
listed below after plan is completed and adopted. Tlie criteria are as follows:
' The City shall maintain adequate water supply by ensuring that the water system shall have one
well (with approximately the same capacity as the largest well in the pressure zone) in standby
reserve under maximum daily demand conditions for each pressure zone.
The required usable storage volume for the City of Moses Lake water system shall eqrial the
sum of equalizing, operational, standby, and fire suppression storage components as defined in
Chapter 9 of the DOH's Water System Design Manual.
' The distribution system shall be able to meet peak hour demands with a minimum pressure of
30 p.s.i. while also providing fire flows during the maximum daily demand with a minimum fire
flow pressure of 20 p.s.i.
The Water Division works to provide water to those in the service area, targeting capacity at or
above the maximum day demand (MDD). Tlie Moses Lake Water Systein Plan projects future water
demand in order to identify needed system improveinents, inclciding supply, pcunping, storage, and
piping. See Exhibit 22 for projections from tl-ie Water System Plan around the City's water demand.
Tl'ic 2015 Moscs Lal<c Watcr Systcm Plan projects future water demand in order to identify needed

Level ofService Standards
The City has not adopted a formal LOS standard for stormwater facilities. Planning for tlie
stormwater utility is currently guided by the City's Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP), which
was adopted in 2007 pursuant to the conditions of the NPDES Pliase II permit. The SWMP includes
action plans and implementation measures for the following topic areas:
' Public Education and Outreach;
Publiclnvolvement and Participation;
' Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination;
' Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control;
Post-Construction Stormwater Management for New Development and Redevelopment; and
' Pollution Prevention and Operation and Maintenance for Municipal Operations.
The SWMP is regularly updated, and the City files annual progress reports witli the Wasliingtoii
State Department of Ecology.
The City is currently working witl'i an external consultant to create a Stormwater Comprehensive
Plan. Tliat plan l'ias not yet been adopted by City Cocincil but will address level of service standards
and provide guidance for future capital project planning.
Project Summary
As described above, the City has not adopted a formal LOS or system plan for stormwater facilities.
City staff lias developed the conceptual capital project list based on known maintenance and repair
needs and long-term water quality initiatives, including the City's ocitfall elimination and retrofit
program. This project summary will be ripdated as more detailed capital planning occurs.

City Engineering. Tlie Administration and Finance Departments moved out of this building to the
new Civic Center. With the additional community development/engineering staff needed to
support city efforts, tlie annex has been space-constrained, and t)-ie building should be upgraded to
add space. Estimated at $.g-G)7 500 000 in the 2025-2027 time frame.
PublicWorks and Parks Operations Complex
The Operations Complex, located at 11789 Road4 NE, was completed in 2007 and consists ofthree
buildings. Building #1 is 22J20 square feet and houses Public Works administrative staff and tlie
Water Division. Building #2 is 9,109 square feet and liouses the Streets, Building Maintenance, and
Equipment Rental Divisions. Building #3 is 5,534square feet and horises the Parks and Recreation
Maintenance Division. The high bidding climate at the time of construction prevented constructing
additional offices and accessory buildings. As a result, these additions will need to be constructed in
tlie future.
Level of Service Standards
There is no established Level of Service standard for municipal facilities. Some standards for public
facilities are measured in total square footage per 1,000 people. LOS standards for priblic facilities
can help ensure that the City has the necessary capita] facilities for the operations of providing
services. However, it is not typically determined necessary for growth in the same manner as
water, sewer, schools, parks, etc.

Refuse
Overview
Tl"ie City contracts with Lakeside Disposal Inc. to provide solid waste disposal axid curbside
recycling and composting services to residents within city limits. Solid waste from residents and
business within tl-ie unincorporated urban growth area is collected by Consolidated Disposal
Service, Inc. (CDSI) or is handled individually by residents. CDSI also has a contract with tl'ie City
and provides service to areas for ten years from their axmexation date.
Inventory
All waste is transported to the Ephrata Landfill - a 120-acre site and 147-acre adjacent property
owned and operated by Grant County - either directly or from a transfer station. Residents can
recycle paper, plastic, aluminum, and food cans in one cart, and yard waste and vegetative food
waste in the yard waste cart. Recycling is sorted and baled by Lakeside Disposal and transported to
a materials recovery facility (MRF) wliere it is prepared for marl<eting to end-user inanufacturers.
Yard waste will be composted, and plans are being developed for a composting facility; cost
estimates have not yet been developed.
Grant County's landfill design consultant estimates the planned landfill expansion will have a total
waste disposal capacity of approximately 2.6 million tons and will last until between 2033 and
2046, depending on waste disposal rate per capita and population growtli.
Level ofService Standards
Moses Lake's Comprehensive Plan does not identify a LOS standard for solid waste. Within the
Grant County Comprehensive Plan, a LOS was identified for solid waste facilities w)iich examines
the availability of the system components inc]uding the number of disposal sites, recycling facilities,
and drop box collection facilities. The County's Comprehensive Plan adopts an A through C level of
service standard for tl'ie quality of service provided by the waste management systems. Grant
County adopts LOS B as the minimum standard for solid waste management system components
and is responsible for maintaining this standard.
Project Summary
The outstanding facility need for solid waste management is a composting facility to process yard
waste. This process is under study, but specific facility plans or cost estimates are not yet available.

Airport
Overview
The Moses Lake Municipal Airport is owned and operated by the City of Moses Lake. The airport
property was deeded to the City in 1947 by Northern Pacific Railroad. Between 1994-2019,
operations at the Municipal Airport were overseen by the Airport Commission. From 20l9to
, City Council changed tlie structure of the Airport Commission to an Airport Advisory
Board. In April 2022, the Airport Comn'iission was re-instated and airport administration lias been a
joint effort between the Conunission and tlie City's Public Works Director and City Manager.
assigncd tlic n'ianagcmcnt of tlic airport to thc City's Municipal Scrviccs Director.
Inventory
The airport is 54.5 acres and serves general aviation aircraft and commercial crop spraying
operations. All aircraft using this airport have an aircraft approacli speed ofless than 121 knots, a
wingspan less than 49', and weigh less than 12,500 pounds.
The airport has two runways which, in total, have the dimensions of 2,500' by 50'.
Level of Service Standards
Under GMA, an airport is not considered a facility necessary to support growth (i.e. permanent
population allocation), and a level of service is not established in the Comprehensive Plan.

Law Enforcement
Oveiaview
The Moses Lake Police Department (MLPD) provides all law enforcement services for tlie City of
Moses Lake witliin city limits. Law enforcement within tl'ie UGA is currently provided by the Grant
County Slieriff's Office. As of:, tlie department had 46-49 personnel, of wliich -3&42 were
commissioned officers. Tlie department responds to about-,20000 calls for service annually.
Inventoiy
MLPD operates a police station at 411 S Balsam Street next to the City Hall. The building was
completed in 1978 and houses the City's entire police staff, as well a.z ParRs and Recreation
administrativc .gtaff. In 2022, Parl<s and Recreation .rtaff will transition to the Larson Recreation
Center tliat is under con.gtruction. Tlic Parks and I",ccrcation space will be reprirposcd for police
staffing xiccds. A study is underway for that prn-pose.
Tlie MLPD also lias two special use ve)iicles outside of the normal patrol fleet. One of the vehicles is
an armored Bearcat that was purchased in 2020 as a used product. Tlie otlier is a large panel van
utilized as an equipment vehicle for tlie tactical team.
Level of Service Standards
LOS for police protection is expressed in terms of response tin'ies and staffing level as shown in
Exhibit 30. The main factors affecting LOS are tlie population served and the number of calls for
service. Future needs for police services are based on the LOS standard of 1.7 commissioned
officers per 1,000 population established in the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive
Plan.
The 2024 LOS staffing ratio is 1.62 coinmissioned officers per 1,000 population; the
comprehensive plan establishes a response time LOS standard of 5 minutes for )iigli prioriff calls.

In 2024, a]l emergency services will move to a new Records/Management/Compriter Aided Dispatcli
system. Tlie new system will allow tl'ie department to calculate future personnel needs more
effectively. This system )ias the capability to capture the actual time commissioned staff spend on all
types ofcalls and other activities t)iat are not currently tracked. T)'ie use of tliis data may affect tlie
number of comi'iiissioned staff moving forward over t)ie traditional officer per tliorisand model.
Tl'ie addition of new officers may require the addition of new or expanded capital facilities as well
as equipment to maintain expected level of service standards. Tlie City's current police station has
not been expanded since its original construction in 1978 to serve a population of around 10,000.

Re: Proposed Changes to City of Moses Lake's Supplemental Submittal for existing Notice of
Intent to Adopt Amendment 2024-S-7672A
Dear Ms. Ramsey:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes to City of Moses Lake's
Comprehensive Plan. We appreciate your coordination with our agency as you work to achieve
the community’s vision consistent with the goals and requirements of the Growth Management
Act (GMA). We encourage you and your community to consider the following as you present
these amendments to your appointed and elected officials.
We have suggestions for strengthening your plan that we encourage you to consider during
future amendments:
Proposal 23-10 removes the Moses Lake Transformational Center from the list of
essential public facilities and from the Capital Facilities Plan. Removing the facility from
the list of essential public facilities is supportive of recent changes in statute as
emergency shelters, transitional housing, emergency housing, or permanent supportive
housing (STEP housing) are not considered essential public facilities. Additionally,
Chapter 254, Laws of 2021 (HB 1220) requires the city to update its development
regulations to allow for STEP housing by its next periodic update. In part the RCW
35.21.638 requires the city to allow emergency shelters and emergency housing in either
1) all zones that allow hotels or 2) a majority of zones within one mile of transit.
Transitional housing and permanent supportive housing must be allowed in zones where
residential dwellings or hotels are allowed.
Comp Plan 0161 ORDINANCE #3065

We have concerns about the following that you should address before you adopt your plan and/or
associated development regulations as part of the 2024 periodic update:
The city is proposing three amendments to the urban growth area (UGA) adjacent to the
city. RCW 36.70A.110 designates counties as the legislative body for designating UGAs.
While the submittal recognizes this hierarchy, the record submitted does not support an
expansion of the UGA. RCW 36.70A.110 requires at a minimum that the UGA shall be
designated by the county based on the growth management planning population selected
by the county from within the range provided by the office of financial management.
Nothing provided in the record by the city demonstrates an analysis has been completed
to determine whether an expansion of the UGA is needed to accommodate population
projections.
We note that the letter included in the submission package, dated August 31, 2020,
regarding the Central Terminal proposal identifies a “no-net gain’ to the UGA. Such a
“swap” is allowed by the county during an annual update; however, such an amendment
is subject to the requirements of 36.70A.110(8). The record submitted does not include
sufficient evidence that the requirements of RCW 36.70A.110(8) have been met for the
Central Terminal proposal or either of the other two UGA proposals.
Finally, as discussed previously the city is not the agency that will adopt amendments or
revisions to the UGA, as such, these comments only peripherally apply to the city. If we
receive the same proposal from Grant County, we would expect to issue the same
comments. We strongly encourage the city to coordinate proposed changes to the UGA
with Grant County as provided in the Countywide Planning Policies, Policy 1B.
Additionally, any revisions or expansions to the UGA shall be consistent with RCW
39.70A.110 and WAC 365-197-310.
Thank you again for the opportunity to comment. If you have any questions or need technical
assistance, please feel free to contact me at chaz.bates@commerce.wa.gov or (509) 606-3501.

Dear Ms. Ramsey:
SUBJECT: PLANVIEW SUBMITTAL 2024-S-7672 – REQUEST FOR COMMENTS,
CITY OF MOSES LAKE 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
DOCKET
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) appreciates the opportunity to
comment on the proposed amendments to the City of Moses Lake Comprehensive Plan in
accordance with State Law RCW 36.70A. We received notification of the proposed amendments
on October 28, 2024. WDFW’s mandate is to “preserve, protect and perpetuate fish, wildlife and
ecosystems while providing sustainable recreational and commercial opportunities.” We have
reviewed the information provided for the proposed site-specific land use zoning changes.
At this time, our comments pertain to one proposal where changes to the Urban Growth Area
(UGA) could impact WDFW Priority Habitats and Species (PHS). We believe impacts can be
avoided, minimized and/or mitigated, by following the Critical Areas Ordinance processes
outlined in the Grant County Unified Development Code (UDC).
Requested Comprehensive Plan Changes
Central Terminal Proposed UGA Expansion
This proposal submitted by Bob Fancher, requests removing a portion of Parcel #
313357000 from the Moses Lake UGA and including Parcels # 170980000 and
170981000. The result would be a "no-net gain" to the UGA boundary.
Both parcels proposed for addition contain shrubsteppe habitat, as shown in WDFW's
PHS data. This habitat is designated as a Grant County Fish and Wildlife Habitat
Conservation Area (FWHCA) under UDC 24.08.300(a) and a Washington State
Priority Habitat (see enclosed PHS Report).
WDFW’s State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) identifies this shrubsteppe habitat as
supporting several PHS-listed species, including:

• Within the observed range of black-tailed jackrabbit
• Within the observed range of Washington ground squirrel
• Within the observed range of greater sage grouse
• Within the observed range of sage thrasher
• Within the observed range of sagebrush sparrow
• Within the observed range of loggerhead shrike
• Within the observed range of burrowing owl
• Within the observed range of ferruginous hawk
• Within the observed range of peregrine falcon
• Within the observed range of bald eagle
Furthermore, at a regional scale, the parcels occur within the Columbia Plateau
Regional Biodiversity Area and Corridor (BAC). This eco-regionally important
landscape supports native species populations and enables species movement among
key areas, making it a priority habitat under PHS.
According to RCW 36.70A.110(8), subsection (d), critical areas must comprise 15%
or less of the area added to the UGA. Because Parcels # 170980000 and 170981000
appear entirely comprised of shrubsteppe while simultaneously located within a
designated BAC, these parcels are ineligible for inclusion in the UGA.
Unless a reliable site-scale habitat assessment were to prove otherwise, it is our
judgement that habitat occurring on the parcels qualifies as FWHCAs per UDC
24.08.300(a). We anticipate that the addition of these parcels into the City of Moses
Lake’s UGA will allow for additional future development of shrubsteppe habitat and
may cause unavoidable harm to ecosystem functions and values that may be currently
present and may harm several priority species, which at present would need to be
mitigated accordingly per UDC 24.08.350 under a minimum ratio of two acres for
each acre that is impacted. We recommend wildlife surveys be completed between
mid-March to July, and Washington ground squirrel surveys should be conducted
mid-March to May 31st. All surveys should be conducted, preferably early in the
morning during low wind conditions.
We recommend that the City of Moses Lake carefully consider the conservation
challenges associated with protecting important habitats and wildlife with this
request, in order for the City of Moses Lake to uphold and implement the Grant
County UDC.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket. WDFW staff are available to provide technical
