MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
1. Parties
City of Yakima
129 North Second Street
Yakima, WA 98901
Congdon Orchards, Inc.
P.O. Box 2725
Yakima, WA 98907
2. General Understandings
This memorandum of understanding is intended to document various
areas of negotiation, understandings and agreements by and between the City
of Yakima (the "City") and Congdon Orchards, Inc., ("Congdon") regarding the
matters set forth herein related to the future development of the Congdon
properties ("Congdon property") and the surrounding areas, upon annexation of
the Congdon property to the City. The future conceptual Development Plan
dated April 9, 2001("Plan") for the Congdon property is attached hereto as
Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by this reference. The parties recognize
that over time this Plan may be modified to adapt to changing conditions and
circumstances; substantial changes are not anticipated.
Both parties recognize that a primary goal of these negotiations is to
strengthen the planning process and to anticipate planning and land use
issues, and to reduce and minimize the economic costs of future development
of the Congdon property and its surrounding areas. Congdon and the City
desire that this memorandum describe and implement planning principles,
development standards, and procedures to eliminate uncertainty in planning.
Congdon and the City also believe that this memorandum should: guide
the orderly development of the Congdon property consistent with the Yakima
Urban Area Comprehensive Plan ("Comprehensive Plan") and Exhibit A;
describe the SEPA process for mitigating probable significant adverse
environmental impacts, if any; describe installation of certain on-site and off-
site infrastructure and improvements; and describe objectives and goals for
funding of public improvements.
Furthermore, both parties recognize that development of the Congdon
property pursuant to this memorandum would be in the best interests of both
Memorandum of Understanding - 1
parties, the Yakima community as a whole, and Yakima county in general.
Lastly, in order to fulfill the goals, objectives and agreements contained herein,
the City shall diligently and in good faith use its best efforts to satisfy
applicable public funding requirements, obtain relevant governmental
authorizations, comply with applicable environmental and land use laws, and
initiate, propose and support any appropriate amendments to the City of
Yakima Municipal Code.
Certain specific points of understanding between Congdon and the City,
as set forth below, are contemplated to become the basis of a GMA
development agreement pursuant to RCW 36.70B.170-.210. The parties agree
that they shall use their best efforts to diligently and in good faith promptly
negotiate such a development agreement ("Development Agreement") on terms
consistent with the points contained herein, not later than 120 days from the
date hereof. In the event that the parties cannot reach agreement on a
development agreement, this memorandum of understanding shall represent
the goals, objectives and agreements of the parties with respect to the matters
contained herein.
3. Terms of cooperation between City of Yakima, Yakima Air Terminal,
and Congdon
(a) Congdon "airport parcels"
Congdon owns property south of Washington Ave. and near the existing
Yakima Air Terminal (the "Airport Parcels"). Congdon is exploring negotiations
with the Yakima Air Terminal ("YAT") by which YAT would acquire some or all
of the Airport Parcels as part of the airport approach and transitional zone.
Funding of this acquisition is a joint effort of YAT and the Federal Aviation
Administration. The City, as a joint owner of YAT, shall cooperate with
Congdon and YAT for the purpose of facilitating acquisition of the Airport
Parcels by YAT on terms mutually agreeable to the parties and YAT.
In the event that this property is not acquired by YAT, the City shall diligently
and in good faith use its best efforts to pursue funding sources to provide
urban -level infrastructure (i.e., roads, fiber optics and utilities) to these sites,
including the use of eligible matching funds, low interest loans, or grants.
(b) Airport safety overlay zoning district
The airport safety overlay ("ASO") development regulation was adopted by
the City of Yakima on February 6, 2001, and is codified in Yakima Municipal
Code, Chapter 15.30.
The ASO may be inconsistent with the land use designations contained
in the Comprehensive Plan and imposes additional layers of "compatibility
Memorandum of Understanding - 2
review" which discourages otherwise acceptable uses (such as schools, places
of public assembly, and multi -family residential uses). This additional burden
of review may subject otherwise permitted land uses to challenges unrelated to
airspace protection concerns.
Congdon acknowledges the interests of YAT regarding the prevention of
airspace obstructions.
To the extent that the ASO is not consistent with, or fails to implement,
the land uses contemplated in the future land use map, or to the extent that
the ASO creates additional burdens on development permit processing at the
land use compatibility level (as opposed to the site planning and design and
construction levels), the City, through City Management, will work in good faith
and in cooperation with the YAT Board and Yakima County (joint owners to the
airport with the City) to initiate and support formal legislative amendments to
the ASO so that it is not inconsistent with the uses permitted in the
Comprehensive Plan, the Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance, and the
Yakima Zoning ordinances.
4. Standards, laws, and procedures governing Congdon
development
(a) Permitted uses; applicable law
Congdon seeks to secure vested rights to develop pursuant to the
applicable development standards as of the date hereof, or as of the date of any
Development Agreement executed pursuant to this MOU.
In this context, the phrase "development standards" is intended to mean
rules, regulations, official policies, and other standards and specifications
including all applicable provisions of Chapters 36.70A (Growth Management)
and 58.17 (Plats, Subdivisions, and Dedications), the Yakima Municipal Code,
the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan, all uncodified City ordinances
and resolutions, as well as all other federal, state, and City rules, regulations,
official policies, standards and specifications now in force and effect.
(b) Adoption of future land uses and zoning districts
The future land uses for the Congdon property were adopted by the City
on February 6, 2001. Congdon proposes that the Future Land Uses Map
adopted by the City on said date, and the relevant zoning districts for the
Congdon property be modified as set forth in Exhibit A, Figure 7 and Figure 8.
The City, through City management, agrees to initiate, propose and support
amendments, modifications and/or changes to the Future Land Use
designations, and the underlying zoning districts, as proposed by Congdon in
said Exhibit A. Said amendments, modifications or changes will be commenced
Memorandum of Understanding - 3
through rezone and/or amendment or modification to the Urban Area
Comprehensive Plan and city zoning ordinances. City Management agrees to
take all steps necessary to promptly, diligently and in good faith pursue these
referenced amendments, modifications and/or changes.
(c) Environmental review
In the development of the Congdon property, and to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the City and Congdon agree to seek to utilize the MDNS
process to satisfy SEPA requirements. In particular, the parties shall act in
good faith and use their best efforts to negotiate acceptable terms of an MDNS
pursuant to RCW Chapter 43.21C, with the acknowledgement that traffic
mitigation and airspace obstructions and hazards will likely require particular
future study.
(d) Right to farm
Right to farm legislation supports the concept that farm operations are
appropriate land uses in certain zoning districts. This is true even though they
may be associated with ". . . noise, odors, dust, fumes, operation of
machinery and irrigation pumps, ground and aerial seeding and spraying, the
application of chemical fertilizers, conditioners, insecticides, pesticides, and
herbicides, and associated drift of such materials. . . . " Yakima County Code
§ 6.22.010.
The City recognizes that the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan,
and any development regulation thereunder, acknowledges the existence of
right to farm policies of the Congdon property. If necessary to preserve
Congdon's right to farm on its property, the City will initiate, propose and
support the adoption of right to farm legislation or otherwise take measures to
assure Congdon that ongoing intensive agricultural use of the Congdon
property (pursuant to best management practices) shall be supported by the
City in the event of conflict due to continuing urban growth.
5. Infrastructure
(a) Roads
Congdon and the City recognize that Washington Ave. and W. Nob Hill
Blvd. are anticipated to undergo substantial improvements in the near future.
Congdon is willing to dedicate necessary rights of way to the City for
improvements along Washington from 48th Avenue to 64th Avenue and Nob Hill
Blvd. from 50th Avenue to approximately 72nd Avenue in consideration of
funded commitments obtained by the City for improvements to these streets.
Improvements include upgrading to appropriate urban arterial standards,
which may include but are not limited to gutters, lighting, sidewalks and
Memorandum of Understanding - 4
intersection improvements. Congdon's financial participation to these
improvements shall be limited to the dedication of necessary rights of way
along Nob Hill Blvd. and Washington Avenue to accommodate these
improvements.
City Management will promptly, diligently and in good faith use their
best efforts to pursue all available funding sources for the improvements above
described, and will propose that such improvements be added as high priority
items to the City Council's adopted six-year TIP; provided, however, it is the
goal and objective of the City to endeavor to complete the improvements
described herein within four years from the date hereof.
Arterial improvements (e.g., street widening, curbs, gutters, sidewalks,
lighting) to 64th Avenue between Washington Avenue and Midvale/Arlington
avenues are anticipated but will be deferred as to such time as the City
determines that appropriate demand exists and funding is available. In any
event, Congdon shall have no obligation to incur any expense or financially
participate in improvements to 64th Avenue, except that Congdon will
participate in the funding of such improvements by contributing, at its cost,
sufficient right-of-way for public improvements (e.g., street, utilities,
wastewater) to 64th Avenue.
The parties will cooperate to preserve to Congdon a continuing right to
cross Nob Hill Blvd. and 64th Avenue for agricultural purposes in accordance
with Congdon's customary operation of its adjacent orchards, subject to laws
regulating the usage of public roads and right-of-ways.
(b) Wastewater
It is a basic assumption of this memorandum of understanding that the
City's West Valley Interceptor Sewer oversizing and other necessary trunkage
improvements in the affected area are guided by the language and intent found
in the latest Wastewater Facilities Plan. Reasonable estimates of service
population and land use have been used to provide proper and efficient layout
of trunkage and interceptor placement. While it is assumed that the West
Valley Interceptor north of Washington Avenue has sufficient capacity to
accommodate the proposed development of the Congdon property depicted in
Exhibit A, it is, also, reasonable to presume that adjustments to these layouts
and associated cost projections may occur as the service area develops and/or
as Congdon property development plans become more detailed.
An 8 inch sewer extension line will be constructed by the City, at its cost,
north along 64th Ave. from the City's West Valley Interceptor to the area just
south of Wide Hollow Creek to provide service to the Congdon property in the
vicinity of Wide Hollow Creek. In addition, the City shall construct, at its cost,
Memorandum of Understanding - 5
an 8 -inch sewer extension line west along Nob Hill Blvd. from 54th Avenue. to
approximately 62nd Avenue.
In addition, the City will construct, at its cost, a sewer trunk line
(minimum 27 inches) across Congdon's property, as depicted and disclosed in
Exhibit A, Figure 9, or at such other location as may be approved by the City
and Congdon. Congdon shall participate by the dedication of a non-exclusive
easement for sufficient right-of-way for this sewer trunk line. 1 This easement
will further accommodate other underground utilities, such as gas, electrical,
fiber optics, and water.
The trunk line and sewer extension lines described herein will be
constructed as public works projects of the City. City Management will
diligently and in good faith pursue all available funding sources for these
wastewater improvements. These wastewater improvements will become high
priority items in the City's Wastewater Facilities CIP; provided, however, it is
the goal and objective of the City to endeavor to complete the 8 -inch sewer
extension lines described herein not later than three years from the date
hereof, and the trunk line improvement not later than five years from the date
hereof.
Congdon and the City will diligently and in good faith negotiate
wastewater trunkage, collection and connection fees (and other related fees)
such that these fees are calculated on a basis that takes into account the
desirable planning goal of preservation of open space. In any event, City
Management agrees to study and consider amendments to the Yakima
Municipal Code to provide that trunkage, collection and other connection fees
shall not exceed an amount based on a formula in excess of two times the
square footage of the footprint of any subject building; provided, the parties
recognize that such amendments may result in higher rates being distributed
across other identified customer classes. City Management will also study and
consider amendments to the Yakima Municipal Code to permanently exempt
undeveloped natural and/or non-sewered areas from inclusion within the fee
formulas.
'In the event that a wastewater trunk line and/or subsidiary collector lines are constructed
across the central portion of Congdon's property by or at Congdon's expense, the City shall
participate in oversizing costs and shall waive connection charges (including the Base
Trunks/Interceptors Charge, and/or the Base Collection Pipes Charge, excluding treatment
charges) related to such improvements constructed by Congdon for the Congdon property
served by such sewer improvements constructed by or at Congdon's expense. It is the intent of
this provision that the accommodations and provisions as provided for in the Apple Tree- City
of Yakima agreements ("Sewer Construction and Bond Purchase Agreement" dated November
11, 2000) shall provide a precedent and model for similar accommodations and agreements
granted to Congdon herein. Specifically, and not in limitation thereof, the provisions of
paragraph 4.4 of the Sewer Construction and Bond Purchase Agreement are incorporated
herein to provide specific precedence and guidance in addressing and resolving similar matters
and issues between the City and Congdon.
Memorandum of Understanding - 6
This agreement shall terminate in the event the parties do not commence
to substantially perform the essential terms and conditions contained herein
within 50 years from the date hereof.

AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. O
For Meeting Of Mav 15, 2001
ITEM TITLE: Resolution Authorizing the City Manager of the City of Yakima to Execute a
Memorandum of Understanding with Congdon Orchards, Inc.
SUBMITTED BY: (/lm Cook, Director of Community & Economic Development
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: William Cook, (575-6113)
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
For more than ten years. City of Yakima staff have been meeting informally with representatives of the
Congdon family to discuss the potential annexation and development of their 800 plus acre site.
Within the past twelve months two events have led to an increased interest on both parties to formalize
these discussions
1) Congdon Orchards has focused time and effort on the economic development potential of
their property, and
2) The City's westward annexation has reached a point at which the Congdon property
annexation is a logical next step.
The attached Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Yakima and Congdon Orchards, Inc., if
approved, will, guide the orderly development of the Congdon property consistent with the Yakima Urban
Area Comprehensive Plan and the attached "A Development Strategy"; describe the SEPA process for
mitigating probable significant adverse environmental impacts, if any; describe installation of certain on-
site and off-site infrastructure and improvements; and describe objectives and goals for funding of public
improvements.
Congdon Orchards, Inc. recently submitted a Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation which was
accepted by the City. In turn, the City submitted its annexation application to the Yakima County
Boundary Review Board on March 21, 2001. It is understood by all parties that the City's participation

m accomplishing the goals and objecrives discussed within the Memorandum of Understanding, is
contingent upon Congdon properties being located within the iiinsclicrion of the Cite of Yakima.
Furthermore, it is the intent of all parties that this Memorandum of Understanding serve as the framework
for a Development Agreement to be prepared for public hearing and Council approval as provided for
under the State Growth Management Act (GMA).
The attached Memorandum of Understanding envisions a partnership between the City and Congdon
Orchard. Inc to support and promote the redevelopment of the Congdon properties. an area
approximately the size of the original City of Yakima incorporated in 1886. The following summarizes
the primary issues included in the memorandum:
Congdon: Congdon proposes a development strategy which at full build -out could generate up to
5800 million in economic activity, annually. A planned development which would Include
housing, commercial, retail. business park and light mdustnal uses
r _ ,-a__ Glen Assistant City Manager dated April 2001, Terry Schmalz,
cover of a letter to Glenn Rice, r��sistari� City April 26, � �;;
Attorney for Congdon Orchards, Inc. includes two potential "schedules" to describe the economic
impact of the long-term fully developed plan. Clearly, this project has the potential to generate
significant new development, jobs. increased property values and tax revenue for the City of
Yakima and the region.
City of Yakima. The City of Yakima agrees to "diligently and m good faith use its best efforts" to
secure funding and construct sewer line and road improvements along Nob Hill Blvd., Washington
Avenue and 64th Avenue and to extend the City's proposed new West Valley Interceptor line across
Congdon property. By this memorandum, the City would commit its "good faith best effort" to
complete these projects on a schedule of 3 years to 5 years as shown on the attached Congdon
Property map. [Please note, there is no specified time line for road improvements on 64th Avenue
and therefore we have not prepared a cost estimate for this work] in return, Congdon agrees to
donate all nghts of way and easements required to build these projects across their land. These
improvements can be characterized in two categories (See attached preliminary engineering
estimates):
1) Future public improvements anticipated, with or without Congdon build -out.
a) 27" West Valley Interceptor across Congdon property
b) Widening of Washington Avenue from 48th Avenue west to 64th Avenue
c) Widening of Nob Hill Blvd. From 52" Avenue west to 72' Avenue
2) Improvements, the cost of which the City is being asked to "front end" for which the
City will be reimbursed over time from connection fees.
a) 8" Nob Hill sewer line
b) 8" 64th Avenue sewer line. Please note, Congdon has requested an 8" line,
however our preliminary engineering suggests that a 12" may be required
because of the limited slope across the length of this segment.. For
estimating purposes, we have used a 12" line.
In addition, the City, through City management, agrees to "initiate, propose and support"
proposed changes to the Future -land Use designation and zoning districts of land proposed for
redevelopment within the Congdon property. It is understood that the final outcome of a
legislative process cannot be predetermined and that final approval would be subject to Council
action.

Enclosed you will find two schedules prepared in connection with two hypothetical
conceptual future developments or build -outs of the Congdon property in connection
with its anticipated annexation. These schedules were prepared in support of the
document entitled A Development Strategy prepared by Hart/Howerton dated April
9, 2001.
I would ask that you contact Cliff Adams directly regarding any questions you will
have and explanations you will need in connection with your use and presentation
of these schedules.
Please understand that there is no specific project or development anticipated at
this time. Potential developments and projects are generally described in A
Development Strategy, and the enclosed schedules are estimates or hypotheticals of
what could occur. It is this potential which is, quite frankly, challenging and
exciting to contemplate for the mutual benefit of not only the City and Congdon but
also for all of Yakima County and Central Washington.
