    A S U M M A R Y A P R I L 2 0 1 2 ISLAN D VIE W “If no concerted action, other than the enforcement of the City’s zoning and land use regulations and planned public infrastructure improvements occur, [Island View] will continue to provide an area for low- income housing, and a place for less expensive and convenient locations for smaller businesses. Market forces will eventually fill in the land that is currently available. This process will probably be slow, given the nature of the overall real estate development patterns in the region.

  • Open Spaces, Trails, and Open Space Protection in the Mid-Columbia Today
    RROSN Vision Plan III. Open Spaces, Trails, and Open Space Protection in the Mid-Columbia Today No other place on Earth is like the Mid-Columbia. Massive basalt flows, cataclysmic floods, and other geologic processes created the ridges and rivers landscape that defines our sense of place. Visual and physical access to these places – views of them and from them – help us to understand and physically and emotionally connect with a landscape we recognize as “home”. Open spaces, whether viewed or explored, are our portals to making these connections. Our unique geographic region (Figure 3) is the home of a significant number of open space and trail resources that benefit both Tri-City residents and visitors. In fact, the “To be rooted is Mid-Columbia region is a hub for numerous trail perhaps the most networks (Figure 4) and federal, state, regional, and important but least local open space areas (Figure 5). These resources understood need of include a National Monument, several National Wildlife Refuges, a National Historic Landmark, a Wilderness the human soul.” Area, a State Park, sites eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, a tri-state water trail system spanning - Simone Weil over 1000 river miles, several large regional parks, and many other special places and long-distance trails. This chapter presents brief descriptions of some of the federal, state, and larger regional-scale open space and trail recreational resources that are found in the Mid- Columbia Region. They form the context for the many other city and county resources that are also listed. This chapter also lists policies and regulations available to jurisdictions associated with hillside and floodplain developments.

  • Kennewick, Washington Urban Design Assistance Team December
    Kennewick, Washington Urban Design Assistance Team December 2003 Our mission is to reconnect with the Columbia River and to develop the Bridge to Bridge/River to Railroad area into an attractive, economically viable front door to our community. We will place significant importance on public and private sector input to develop a vision plan and implementation schedule that will create a premier destination riverfront area combining unique gathering places for civic and cultural activities, distinctive shopping venues, welcome living spaces, and enjoyable recreational opportunities for the entire region. – UDAT Steering Committee The Bridge to Bridge/River to Railroad Committee’s purpose in bringing an Urban Design Assistance Team to Kennewick was to have this Team provide visioning and planning guidelines together with an implementation schedule for the revitalization of the area located between the Blue and Cable Bridges and from the Columbia River to Canal Drive. This Team Report is the product of many public meetings, a compilation of surveys, concerns and input received from the community, and the Team’s visit. The goal of this project is to create an economically viable, aesthetically pleasing, premier destination riverfront area combining unique gathering places for civic and cultural activities, successful businesses offering distinctive shopping venues, welcome living spaces, and enjoyable recreational opportunities for current stakeholders and the entire region. While the community and region at large have been fully supportive and embrace the Bridge to Bridge/ River to Railroad project, it is the business owners, property owners and residents in this area who will make this revitalization successful. Several of these entities have already created niches that support economically viable, appealing businesses and attractive residential housing.

  • The Planning Process
    RROSN Vision Plan IV. The Planning Process The planning process was organized and conducted by the Ridges to Rivers Open Space Network Steering Committee. Much of the planning involved collecting public input, then using that input to formulate recommended actions. This chapter summarizes the input that was collected through four public workshops and a broadly-accessible questionnaire. Workshop details are listed in Appendix III and the full questionnaire and responses are found in Appendix IV. Ridges to Rivers Public Workshops Summary Two sets of two public workshops were held to get feedback from area citizens about what open spaces they value, what they do in those spaces and what steps might be taken to preserve open space in the Mid-Columbia. The first set of two public meetings was held in November 2008 in West Richland and Pasco, with combined attendance exceeding 140 people. Attendees were separated into two different groups, one discussing the Richland/West Richland area and Benton County, and a second focusing on the Pasco/Kennewick area and Benton and Franklin Counties. After various opportunities and constraints were identified for each area, they were asked to respond to two questions: “What is your favorite open space and what activity do you most often do there?” and “If we could have more open space and trails what would you like to see?” Responses from the November meetings were analyzed and used to identify emphasis areas for more in-depth discussion at the second set of meetings in February 2009. The February outreach meetings were held in Richland and Kennewick, with attendance estimated at 80.

  • Economic Development Manager
    Economic Development Manager THE COMMUNITY Richland is located at the confluence of the Columbia and Yakima Rivers in southeastern Washington in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Richland and its sister cities of Kennewick, Pasco, and West Richland make up the Tri-Cities MSA (population 300,000). Richland is the third largest city with approximately 59,000 residents. Originally incorporated as a small farming community in the Mid-Columbia Valley, Richland now focuses on energy production, advanced research, environmental remediation, and technology. Richland is home to the Tri-Cities Research District with over 7,000 technology workers. The Research District is anchored by the Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL), which boasts the second largest technology workforce in Washington State behind Microsoft, and the rapidly growing Washington State University Tri-Cities (WSU-TC). The Tri-Cities are the center of the $8.4 billion Washington wine industry. Upon visiting Richland and the surrounding Columbia Valley, you will discover the “Heart of Washington Wine Country®,” with over 200 area wineries. The wine industry and agriculture in general play an important role in the region’s economy and culture. The Tri-Cities region’s inviting waterways beckon water lovers from all over the region to enjoy sailing, power and pleasure boating, waterskiing, swimming, fishing, windsurfing, and much more. Due in part to the area’s exceptional climate, golf is another of Richland’s most popular sports. The area’s ten beautiful courses challenge the most experienced golfer as well as the beginner. Sports fans can enjoy two professional sports teams that call the area home: The Tri-City Americans (WHL ice hockey) and the Tri-City Dust Devils (Single-A baseball).
