Description
The City of Richland appeals from a decision of the Franklin County Boundary Review Board (Board) approving the City of Pasco's application to annex 4,500 acres of unincorporated territory. Richland contends that the Board's decision should be reversed because it erred in accepting into evidence an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that was inadequate as a matter of law, it failed to combine the Richland and Pasco annexation hearings and it decided to approve the Pasco proposal without finding that it satisfied the relevant statutory criteria. It further argues that the trial court erred in dismissing its request for declaratory and injunctive relief because the automatic stay provision of RCW 36.93.160 operates throughout all appeals of the action. Pasco maintains that Richland's appeal should be dismissed for failure to join all necessary parties. We find the uncontroverted evidence supports the Board's decision, that Richland's remaining claims lack merit, and therefore affirm.
