Description of Proposal:
Christine Batayola with Harms Engineering, applicant, has applied for a text amendment to the West Richland Zoning Code to adjust the minimum lot dimensions for townhouses/rowhouses so that the size created by the minimum lot dimensions matches the minimum lot size permitted; to eliminate the maximum lot coverage for townhouses/rowhouses; and to reduce the front yard setback for the non-garage portions of townhouses/rowhouses.
Findings:
The City finds that the RM-6 Townhouse Text Amendment will not result in adverse impacts to the environment.
Threshold Determination:

This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency.

Mitigation Measures:
No mitigation measures required at this time; additional environmental review will be conducted during the design phase for each project.
