A proposed ordinance would raise mobility fees — what developers pay toward roads and transit — beyond state phase-in limits. It drew no motion at the hearing and was pushed to May 19.

Planning Commission - Mar 19, 2026
Pasco is heading toward a million residents by 2050, and the county is $2.9 billion short on road money. The proposed fee hike — some rates up more than 50% — would close part of that gap starting July 2026, with discounts for long-time residents building their own homes and local small businesses. Critics worry it will kill projects in a soft housing market.
