PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: The City of Yakima Planning Division is proposing non-project amendments to the City of Yakima's Municipal Code Title 14 and 15. The purpose of the proposed amendments are to streamline application requirements. The Yakima Planning Commission held a study session to review the proposed amendments on October 9, 2024, October 23rd, 2024, February 12, 2025; March 26, 2025, and April 9, 2025. Proposed Amendment Sections: The complete track changes text can be found in Exhibit "A" and is incorporated herein by reference. A summary of the amendments is as follows: 1. YMC Chapter 14.15—Short Subdivision — Procedure a. Removing Public notice of Short Plat. Staff Analysis: The Public Notice of a Short Plat is a self-imposed notice requirement and not required by the RCW. Removing the requirement will help streamline processes. Additionally, the overall processing time for self-imposed public notice applications has been reduced, which increases the overall workload required from City staff. Removing the public notice requirement will allow staff to process permits more expeditiously. 2. YMC Chapter 15.23 a. Amending the non-binding conceptual site plan requirements under YMC § 15.23.030. Staff Analysis: The non-binding conceptual site plan requirement was added to the YMC is 2018 as a response to a one-off application the City received during a rezone application. Since the requirement was added, there has been a great deal of confusion from the staff, Planning Commission, and the general public in regards to what a conceptual site plan actually implies. During rezone application hearings and public comment periods, staff has received various comments applying to conceptual site plans, followed by a lengthy discussion on how the comments received will not actually apply to the site plan submitted. Eliminating this requirement would remove future confusion and help streamline applications. Yakima DOC. INDEX 2013 1994 305 II. YAKIMA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2040 The proposed text amendments are consistent with the following goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan 2040 Goal 2.1: Establish a development pattern consistent with the community's vision. Policy2.1.5. Implement land use designations through a clear regulatory process that ensures transparency, fairness and predictability in the land development process. Policy 2.1.6: Adopt coordinated development regulations that facilitate Yakima's preferred land use pattern (e.g. allowed density, uses, and site provisions) • Refine the land use code on an ongoing basis to make it user-friendly by employing simple language, easy to read charts, and illustrative graphics. • Monitor and refine the land use code as needed to facilitate the preferred land use pattern and development character. • Integrate an appropriate balance of predictability and flexibility when updating development regulations that allow ease of administration and interpretation and offer optional ways of meeting requirements when possible. Goal 4.8. Support programs, projects, and development efforts that enhance the job market and promote community pride. III. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (SEPA) This project was processed for review under the State Environmental Policy Act as a procedural action per WAC 197-11-800(19), and a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS)was issued on July 11, 2025 (SEPA#008-25). IV. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Public Hearing June 26, 2025 Legal Ad Publication June 28, 2025 One written comment was received form the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife regarding the non-binding conceptual site plan. The comments were generally related to keeping the criteria for the nonbinding site plan due to concerns with critical areas. Staffs response to this that the City will still require a site plan as part of a development action and will continue to review development applications for Critical Areas Review, giving agencies time to comment on project.With the nonbinding criteria in place time and effort may be spent on reviewing an application that never comes to fruition. V. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 1. The proposed amendments further refine and clarify the appeals process within the Yakima Municipal Code. 2. No adverse impacts have been identified by the approval of these amendments. 3. The proposed text amendments are consistent with and implement the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040, as required by RCW 36.70A.130(1)(d). TXT#002-25 DOC. INDEX 2 306 VI.

Respond briefly and in general terms. 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water;emissions to air;production,storage,or release of toxic or hazardous substances;or production of noise? The proposed changes will not affect how land uses discharge to water,emissions to the air,storage,or release of toxic or hazardous substances,or the production of noise. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: None proposed.Any future measures to avoid such increases will be dealt with at the project level. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants,animals,fish,or marine life? The proposed changes will not affect plants,animals,fish,or marine life,as they are regulatory in nature. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants,animals,fish,or marine life are: None proposed.Any future measures to avoid such increases will be dealt with at the project level. 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? The proposed changes do not involve regulations dealing with energy or natural resources. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: None proposed.Any future measures to avoid such increases will be dealt with at the project level. 4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated(or eligible or under study)for governmental protection;such as parks,wilderness,wild and scenic rivers,threatened or endangered species habitat,historic or cultural sites,wetlands,floodplains,or prime farmlands?

Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: None proposed.Any future measures to avoid such increases will be dealt with at the project level. 5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? No change to shoreline uses are proposed. Depending on future proposals,the level of review will be dependent on the type of use and zoning district. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: None proposed.Any future measures to avoid such increases will be dealt with at the project level. 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? Increases to traffic as a result of increased residential and/or project density will be examined at the project level. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s)are: None proposed.Any future measures to avoid such increases will be dealt with at the project level. 7. Identify, if possible,whether the proposal may conflict with local,state,or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment.

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has reviewed the proposed amendments and would like to comment on a proposed change to Title 15. Under Section 15.23.030 Rezones- Zoning map amendments,the requirement for a nonbinding conceptual site plan is struck out. WDFW recommends that this requirement be retained as a conceptual site plan is often needed to determine if the development that the rezone is applying to could be permitted with adherence to other ordinances such as the Critical Areas Ordinance. Without the inclusion of a conceptual site plan, environmental review of a potential rezone is difficult and could lead to future conflicts at the project level when a site plan is required. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this text amendment If you have questions regarding any of the above comments,please contact me at 509-607-3578 or Scott.Downes@dfw.wa.gov. Sincerely, Scott Downes Regional Land Use Lead DOC. INDEX 354
