YAKIMA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that the Capital Facilities Element of a
Comprehensive Plan include an inventory, projected needs, and funding and financing for facilities and
infrastructure This Capital Facilities Plan is intended to provide the technical foundation — inventory,
service standards, capacity, proposed projects, and funding as appropriate — for the Capital Facilities
Element The goals and policies for the Capital Facilities Element is included in the body of the
Comprehensive Plan.
1.1 The Capital Facilities Plan
The purpose of the Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is to use sound fiscal policies to provide adequate public
facilities consistent with the land use element and concurrent with, or prior to, the impacts of
development to achieve and maintain adopted standards for levels of service
The CFP is based on the following sources of information and assumptions:
• Capital Facility Functional or System Plans. Capital facility functional or system plans of the City of
Yakima or other service providers were reviewed for inventories, levels of service, planned facilities,
growth forecasts, and potential funding.
■ Growth Forecasts. Population and fob growth forecasts were allocated to the City of Yakima by
Yakima County, in accordance with the Yakima Countywide Planning Policy (Yakima County 2003).
The City considered the targets, planning and permit trends, and land capacity The City developed
growth assumptions that accommodate the targets and are less than capacity. The estimates were
distributed by transportation analysis zone (TAZ). The 2022 population (six-year) and 2040
population (23 -year) growth for each service provider is estimated
■ Revenue Forecasts Revenues were forecasted for Yakima services to the year 2040. The sources of
revenue are summarized from available plans and compared to typical revenue sources for those
service providers
Growth Management Act Requirements
GMA requires that all comprehensive plans contain a capital facilities element GMA specifies that the
capital facilities element should consist of
■ An inventory of existing capital facilities owned by public entities,
■ A forecast of the future needs for capital facilities;
■ The proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new capital facilities,
■ A six-year capital facilities plan that will finance capital facilities within projected funding capacities
and clearly identifies sources of public money for such purposes; and
■ A requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls short of existing needs
(RCW 36.70a.070(3))
The GMA requires the CFP to identify specific facilities, include a realistic financing plan (for the six-year
period), and adjust the plan if funding is inadequate Capital facilities are important because they support
the growth envisioned in the City's Comprehensive Plan. GMA requires that all capital facilities have
"probable funding" to pay for capital facility needs, and that jurisdictions have capital facilities in place
and readily available when new development comes in or must be of sufficient capacity when the
population grows, particularly for transportation (concurrency) or for services deemed necessary to
support development.
DRAFT, March 2016 2
YAKIMA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
Levels of service (LOS) are established in the CFP and represent quantifiable measures of capacity They
are minimum standards established by the City to provide capital facilities and services to the Yakima
community at a certain level of quality and within the financial capacity of the City or special district
provider LOS standards are influenced by local citizens, elected and appointed officials, national
standards, mandates, and other considerations such as available funding. Examples of LOS measures
include. amount of intersection delay, acres of park or miles of trails per 1,000 population, gallons of water
per capita per day, and others Those facilities and services necessary to support growth should have LOS
standards and facilities.
Recent Growth Management Hearings Boards cases have placed more importance on the preparation and
implementation of CFPs The key points include:
• Capital facilities plans should address the 20 -year planning period and be consistent with growth
allocations assumed in the Land Use Element Capital facilities plans should also demonstrate an
ability to serve the full city limits and urban Growth Area (UGA).
■ Financial plans should address at least a six-year period and funding sources should be specific and
committed The City should provide a sense of the funding sources for the 20 -year period, though it
can be less detailed than for the six-year period
Growth, LOS standards, and a funded capital improvement program are to be in balance In the case where
the LOS cannot be met by a particular service or facility, the jurisdiction could do one of the following 1)
add proposed facilities within funding resources, 2) reduce demand through demand management
strategies, 3) lower LOS standards, 4) phase growth, or 5) change the land use plan.
Definition of a Capital Project
According to WAC 365-196-415, at a minimum, those capital facilities to be included in an inventory and
analysis are water systems, sewer systems, stormwater systems, schools, parks and recreation facilities,
police facilities, and fire facilities Capital facilities generally have a long useful life and include city and
non -city operated infrastructure, buildings, and equipment Capital facilities planning does not cover
regular operations and maintenance, but it does include major repair, rehabilitation, or reconstruction of
facilities
The capital facilities and projects addressed in the plan include infrastructure (such as streets, roads,
traffic signals, sewer systems, stormwater systems, water systems, parks, etc ) and public facilities
through which services are offered (such as fire protection structures and major equipment, law
enforcement structures, schools, etc.)
1.2 Key Principles Guiding Yakima's Capital Investments
There are two main guiding elements behind the capital facilities planning fiscal policies and the GMA
These principles interact to guide capital investments. Fiscal policies are tools that the City can use to
adjust spending and revenues by changing tax rates and identifying specific areas for expenditure
1.3 Services Addressed in the Capital Facilities Plan
Exhibit 1 Facilities and Services addressed in the Capital Facilities Plan summarizes the facilities and
services addressed in this Plan, including the service, the provider, and applicable plans considered in this

1.4 Relationship to the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan
The Capital Facilities Plan relies on the policies set forth in the Yakima Comprehensive Plan as a baseline
for studying capital planning needs. The future land use plan and the comprehensive plan population
assumptions drive future development in the City, which impacts levels of service and determines capacity
needs for services provided by city and non -city providers Exhibit 2 lists the population assumptions for

document. See Exhibit 1.
2.0 CAPITAL FACILITIES REVENUE ANALYSIS
' 2.1 Overview
The revenue analysis of the Capital Facilities Plan supports the financing for providing facilities and
services, as required by RCW 36.70A.070(3)(d) Revenue estimates, using assumptions that are based on
' historical trends, were used to represent realistic expectations for revenue that may be available for
capital funding
' This revenue analysis looks at Yakima's capital facility revenues for those services provided by the City of
Yakima Through identifying fiscal constraints in the future, project prioritization can be incorporated into
the capital planning process.
' The revenue analysis provides an approximate, and not exact, forecast of future revenue sources. The
numbers projected in this analysis are for planning purposes and cannot account for sensitivities such as
local, state, and federal policy, economic trends, and other factors
' 2.2 Funding p the Capital Facilities Plan
Estimated future revenues are projected for the Plan's 2017 — 2040 time period The revenue analysis is
grouped according to
• General Capital Revenues Those revenues under the category of general capital revenues are the
' revenues required by law to be used for capital projects. The general capital revenues in Yakima
include REET I and REET II
' Dedicated Capital Revenues Dedicated revenues are required to be used for certain types of capital
spending, outlined by the law. The dedicated capital revenues in Yakima include grants and facility
charges and fees
' Operating Transfers. Operating transfers -in are those revenue sources that are transferred in from
operating funds Although these are not dedicated sources to be relied on for capital funding, it has
' been the historical practice of the City to regularly make transfers into capital funds for certain
service departments Those are calculated separately as the practice may be common enough to be
considered a potential funding source, however these transfers are not dedicated to capital
' spending and could be used elsewhere
■ Potential Policy Options and Other Funding Sources There are additional policy tools and sources
available to fund capital projects.
' 2.3 Assumptions
' The assumptions used in this analysis may not align with the City's budget assumptions regarding the
same sources of revenue because the purpose of the two analyses is different The City's budget estimates
how much money the City will have available for spending in the coming fiscal year while this CFP revenue
' analysis estimates how much money (dedicated to capital spending) the City is likely to receive in total
over the next six and 23 years The Yakima revenue analysis is based on the following assumptions:
• City Boundary The City of Yakima will maintain the same boundary now through the 2040 planning
' horizon, without annexing any additional unincorporated areas The buildable lands analysis
' DRAFT, March 2016 6
YAKIMA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
indicates that the City can accommodate all expected growth by 2040 In the city limits. While
annexations may occur with willing landowners, they are likely to be incremental
■ District Boundaries Some of the service providers operate in a geographic area other than the city
limits Population estimates through 2040 for these districts are indicated in Exhibit 2.
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET). This analysis assumes that assessed values (AV) for property tax will
Increase an annual rate of 1% going forward and that the turnover rate is 3% for residential
properties and 2% for commercial properties. New construction Is assumed to be 0 4% of total AV
The growth In assessed value and the turnover rates are Important since REET revenues are based
on the total value of real estate transactions In a given year. REET 1 and REET 2 each assess 0 25%
on the assessed value
2.4 Dedicated Capital Revenues and Operating Transfers
CBD Capital Improvement
CBD Improvement: Dedicated Revenues
The CBD Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 321) historically received an average of $0.42 per capita
annually In non -transfer and non -grant revenues between 2011 and 2015 The assumed dedicated
revenues per capita used in the model are $0 40 annually The model assumes inflation growth of 3%
annually Exhibit 3 shows the historical and projected non -transfer and non -grant revenues for CBD capital
improvement
Exhibit 3 shows historical revenues to the left of the dotted line and an estimated future revenue trend
to the right of the dotted line An average annual per capita dollar amount Is assumed In each year for this
analysis, based on 5 -year historical per capita revenues While the annual average cannot fully represent
future receipt of revenues, It approximates how many total dollars may be received over a period of time
This method of projection Is consistent for the analysis of dedicated revenues for all service areas
analyzed.

transfer $100,000 from the Operating Fund to the Parks Capital Fund (City of Yakima, 2016).
The $950,000 transfer was an outlier compared to the prior years of historical data, and was used
specifically for the SOZO project debt service There has been a historical policy to transfer $100,000 from
the operating fund, but a $400,000 annual transfer is expected to pay off debt service on the SOZO project
through 2035 As a result, the model assumes an annual transfer of $400,000 No growth in transfers

I Parks: Grants
' State grants have historically been received from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation
Office (RCO) and are supplemented by community donations Since parks grants are competitive on a
state or national level, this analysis estimates these revenues on a per capita basis, using the assumption
' that over time a jurisdiction generally receives its "fair share" of available grant revenues Since 2011,
Yakima has received around $2.26 per capita annually In combined grant and donation revenues. Given
the fluctuating nature of grants, and a large outlier grant in year 2011, a value of $2 00 per capita was
' used to project potential future grant revenues. The analysis assumes no additional growth beyond
inflation
' Exhibit 35 shows historical revenues to the left of the dotted line and an estimated future revenue trend
to the right of the dotted line. An average annual dollar amount is assumed in each year for this analysis.
In reality, annual revenues will vary greatly due to the lumpy nature of grant funding and are likely to
' resemble more of a peaks and valleys trend as shown in the historical data. While the annual average
cannot fully represent future receipt of grant dollars, it approximates how many total dollars may be
received over a period of time.

This section considers all revenues dedicated to capital projects for streets The assumptions used in the
Capital Facility Plan revenue analysis differ from those used in the Transportation Plan, which results in
some differences in the projected revenues These projections are meant to act as a guide based on
historical revenues, and are not meant to represent reality.
Streets capital revenues in Yakima are funneled into the two funds, described below
• Fund 142 — Arterial Street Capital This fund is used for street improvement projects that are
included in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The majority of the revenues to Fund
142 come from an allocation of the gas tax and the funds are used to provide a local match to gap
funding sources, pay for debt service, or to fund certain projects in full
■ Fund 344— Street Capital. This fund is used to accomplish the goal of investing at least $2 million
annually on the restoration and reconstruction of Yakima streets as a response to 72% of voters
supporting a City Charter amendment in 2013 that requires the City to invest at least $2 million
annually This has increased the City's Average Pavement Index since 2013
Streets: Dedicated Revenues
The Arterial Streets Capital Fund (Fund 344) and the Arterial Street Fund (Fund 142) combined historically
received an average of $10 88 per capita annually in non -transfer and non -grant revenues between 2011
and 2015. The assumed dedicated revenues per capita used in the model is $10.00 annually. The model
assumes inflation growth of 3% annually

t Wastewater
The following section includes all revenues spent on capital The city separates capital revenues for
wastewater into three different capital funds:
' • Fund 472 — Wastewater Capital Facilities. This is a contingency fund for major facility repairs,
industrial coating, or minor equipment replacement This capital spending category may include
required maintenance and replacement work.
' ■ Fund 476 — Wastewater Capital Construction. This funds wastewater system planning and
collection system capital improvements Construction projects related to accommodating service
' area growth and upgrades to capacity, as well as repair and replacement of the existing system are
paid out of this fund
■ Fund 478 — Wastewater Capital Project. Fund 478 directs funds to costs associated with the
' planning, installation, rehabilitation, expansion, and modification of the Wastewater Treatment
Facility and the Rudkin Road Lift Station.
' Wastewater: Dedicated Revenues
The Wastewater Facilities Capital Fund (Fund 472) and Wastewater Capital Construction (Fund 476)
historically received a combined average of $149 per capita annually in non -transfer and non -grant
revenues between 2011 and 2015. The assumed dedicated revenues per capita used in the model is $1 25
annually (based on the 2015 population for the wastewater service area), which is a conservative
' assumption accounting for high outlier revenues from the State Revolving Fund in 2012 The area that is
provided with wastewater services does not include the whole city of Yakima, but does include the cities
of Union Gap and Terrace Heights. The State Revolving Fund provides funding through the federal Clean

Water
The City of Yakima provides water services to portions of the City, which is supplemented by Nob HIII
Water. Water capital is funded by transfers from the Water Operating Fund and grants The fund pays for
all capital projects that are related to drinking water and its resources, including treatment, wells,
transmission, distribution, pumping stations, storage, fire suppression, and more
Funding sources for water capital projects include grants, transfers from the operating fund, loans, and
bond financing.
Water sales have been down for several years, as of 2017, due to the economic downturn and water usage
reductions because of conservation efforts From 2013 to 2017, four years of planned rate increases were
delayed. The 2017 budget proposes to increase rates by 5% in both 2017 and 2018 to make up for the
delayed rate increases This would allow for transfers to the Water Capital Fund to be reduced to $675,000
in 2017 and $400,000 in 2018. The average residential water customer would experience an increase of
around $179 every two months in 2017 and $2 01 every two months in 2018 (City of Yakima, 2016)
Water: Operating Transfers
The City of Yakima contributes funds to the Water Capital Fund through operating transfers. Five-year
Historical transfers -in range in size from $725,000 to $18 million Average annual transfer between 2011
and 2015 was $958,000 and the model's assumed annual transfer is $950,000 There is an annual inflation

2.5 General Capital Revenues
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) revenues are collected on property sales at the point of sale They are
required by law to be spent on capital projects. REET is based on the total value of real estate transactions
in a given year, and the amount received annually can vary significantly based on fluctuations in the real
estate market and trends in the economy.
Yakima is authorized by the state to impose two separate REET levies. REET I and REET II each allow for a
levy of 0 25 % on the assessed value of a sale, for a total tax of 0 5 % of total assessed value All proceeds
must be used for capital spending, as defined in RCW 35.43.040. REET II is more restricted than REET I, as
it may not be spent on acquisition of land for parks, recreation facilities, law enforcement facilities, fire
protection facilities, trails, libraries, or administrative or judicial facilities (RCW 82 46 035) REET II,
specifically, can only be levied by those cities and counties that are planning under GMA For REET 11, the
capital projects must be those specifically listed in RCW 82 46.035(5):

2.7 Policy Options and Other Funding Sources
■ Bonds. The City uses Bonds to support capital facilities funding. Yakima has a rating of AA- from
t Standard and Poor's on its water and wastewater utilities, and its general obligation bonds. This
rating is credited to careful staff preparation, good audits, high levels of fiscal responsibility, and
comprehensive financial policies
' • Establish Transportation Benefit District The City is considering creating a Transportation Benefit
District that would fund the Street Construction Fund Revenues are expected to be between
' $68S,000 and $13 million, depending on a car tab fee of $10 - $20.
■ Impact Fees Impact fees are a financing tool allowed under state law that requires new
development to pay a portion of the costs associated with infrastructure improvements that are
' related to the development. GMA allows agencies to implement a transportation, parks, fire, and
school impact fee program to help fund some of the costs of capital facilities needed to
accommodate growth. State law requires that impact fees be related to improvement that serve
' new developments and not existing deficiencies, that they're assessed proportional to the impacts
of new development, that they're allocated for improvements that reasonably benefit new
development, and that they're spent on facilities identified in the Capital Facilities Plan
' Local Improvement District/Road Improvement District (LID/RID) A LID or RID is a new taxing
district that the City has the statutory authority to create A district could be used to levy additional
property tax to cover debt service payments on the sale of bonds purchased to finance projects
within the district Revenues from the levy must be used for local, clearly-defined areas where the
land owners are being assessed the additional tax benefit. LID, by law, can be used for water, sewer,
' and stormwater projects RIDS may be used for road funding and street improvements.
• Other. The City could lobby state legislators to restore some of the funding levels once available to
' local governments for road improvements Although local jurisdictions receive a certain percentage
of collected MVF Tax funds, a combination of factors such as decreasing gas prices and a reduction
in both vehicle miles driven and vehicle fuel efficiency has resulted in local MVF Tax allocations that
' are generally not keeping pace with inflation. In order to restore funding levels, the City could
encourage legislators to follow the recent gas tax increase with measures that raise the tax rate
alongside cost inflation and increase the tax rate over time with fuel efficiency improvements.

Overview
The City manages municipal and cultural buildings including City Hall, Capitol Theatre, and the Convention
Center, of which the latter two are managed by the Capitol Theatre Committee and the Yakima Valley
Visitors and Convention Bureau The City identifies capital maintenance, replacements, and other needed
investments in its City Budget that help develop the capital improvement program and identify available
revenues The City does not have a level of service standard for public buildings, and facilities are
anticipated to be adequate to meet the needs of current population and future growth

The City should designate an LOS standard for capital facilities deemed necessary for the operations of
the City. The current effective level of service for public buildings is around 2,400 square feet per 1,000
residents To maintain this level of service through 2040, an additional 38,000 square feet will need to be
added to the public building inventory, with around 6,500 square feet added by 2022 if the standard is to
be consistently maintained during the 6 -year planning period If LOS for public buildings were around
1,900 square feet per 1,000 residents, there would be capacity for public buildings through 2040, with an
additional 6,000 square feet of capacity remaining

CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
Level of Service
Fire facilities have capital needs based on facility location and staffing These two factors feed into a unit's
response time, which Is how LOS is generally measured Response time is defined as the amount of time
between the initial call for assistance and the arrival of the full first alarm response to an Incident The
department also measures turnout times (the time between a call and when apparatus are mobilized) and
travel times (the time before the first engine company arrives) (YFD, 2016). The length of response time
is mitigated by distributing stations throughout the city strategically, the type of equipment available at
each of the facilities, and the level of staffing
Exhibit 78 shows the response time policies and the 2015 recorded average response time, as well as how
often the Department met the policy

***The time it takes for arrival of the full complement of a first alarm response to a fire suppression incident
Source City of Yakima Fire Department, 2016 Annual Report, 2017
The current adopted level of service for response time Is 8 minutes In 2016, the department met this
level of service 69% of the time, with an average response time of just over 8 minutes However, the 2016
Annual Report indicated that there has been an Increase in number of calls and type of responses, which
has changed the scope of service needed by YFD (YFD, 2016) As calls and incident types increase, the
department could experience pressure on Its ability to provide services at the Identified LOS standard,
leading to a need for changes to the operations and facilities
Projects, Cost, and Revenue
There is currently one project planned for 2017, which is the construction of an apparatus and equipment
storage building at Station 95 with an estimated cost of $407,000
In 2014, the Fire Department commissioned a local architectural firm to provide a cost estimate for
remodeling and modernizing the city's 2 circa 1973 fire station facilities At the same time, an evaluation
was completed on failing concrete and asphalt surfaces at all 5 city -owned fire station facilities Together,
the estimate totaled approximately 10 million dollars - with nearly 1 million of that estimate representing

4.3 Law Enforcement
Overview
Yakima's Police Department (YPD) occupies its main facility in Downtown Yakima, the Law and Justice
Center, which is shared with courts, legal, and corrections The department has 185 uniformed and
support personnel (Seely, 2016). The Department responds to almost 80,000 calls for service each year,
and does patrol, detective, and special operations work with officers working in the Gang Unit, K-9 Patrol
Unit, Narcotics K -9's, SWAT, Traffic, Narcotics, and School Resource Officers (About YPD, 2016)
The City Jail, which began operations in 1996, has 13 employees (three Corrections Sergeants and ten
Corrections Officers) The full-service Jail facility has capacity for 78 prisoners. (YPD, 2015)
Inventory
The Department is in need of a new facility downtown and a satellite facility in the west side precinct in
order to efficiently provide police services to a growing city The ideal location was found to be near 64th
and Nob Hill or Tieton Drive The current overall space need was found to be 70,500 square feet, in a
Space Needs Assessment prepared in 2014 This contrasts the existing 26,000 square feet that YPD is
currently operating out of (see Exhibit 79) (Seely, 2016)

LOS standards for law enforcement operations in Yakima are based on the ratio of officers to population
The number of officers employed relates to the capital investments of the Department, since increasing
the staffing levels will have implications for the space and equipment used by the officers The LOS policy
' is generally impacted by location, socio -economy characteristics, demographics, size of a city, and other
local dynamics.
' The current LOS policy for YPD is 18 officers per 1,000 residents (see Exhibit 80) Using the LOS of 18
officers per 1,000 residents, the department currently has a deficit of 20 officers. Since population growth
will lead to increased demand for police services, with current staffing levels there would be a deficit of
' 62 officers by 2040 (when population is expected to increase to over 110,000). Given that YPD is already
operating out of a constrained space, the addition of 60 officers will add to the need for new and expanded
capital facilities
' The effective LOS in Yakima is currently Just under 1.6 officers per 1,000 residents With this LOS, the
current deficit is one officer If this LOS is considered acceptable, 38 additional officers would need to be
added by 2040. Although the addition of 38 new officers would require less new facility space and vehicles
' than the LOS of 18 officers per 1,000, significant capital investments would still be needed.

Projects, Cost, and Revenue
There are no short- or long-term capital projects currently identified for law enforcement It has been
identified that the police department needs a new facility in the downtown area as well as a standalone
facility in the west side precinct to ensure efficient police services as the city continues to grow The Space
Needs Assessment conducted in 2014 by Loofburrow/Wetch Architects and Moyer and Associates found
that there is a current need for 70,500 square feet of space (significantly larger than the current 26,000
square feet) In addition, the best location for a west side precinct was determined to be 64th Avenue near
Nob Hill or Teiton Drive with a facility size between 15,000 and 20,000 square feet
To date, a search of potential existing buildings to be remodeled in the downtown area was completed.
Three buildings were identified, but engineering studies determined that costs associated with bringing
those buildings up to code would be too great The 2014 study included a $100 million recommendation
to expand the existing police facility footprint. Since the process occurred in 2014, no additional steps
have been taken The department's future strategy includes investing in a larger facility and a west side
precinct, but no projects have been budgeted or planned for

challenging physical conditions, or past development allowed on septic systems. The City lacks a system-
wide sewer plan to identify the specific locations of new trunk lines, engineering, and the cost of new
' lines
The City conducted a sewer system plan update in 2016, which considers future land use and growth.

4.7 Stormwater
Overview
' Yakima's stormwater collection area includes the City of Yakima, as well as some of the West Valley area
outside of city limits. With hot, dry summer weather and cold, dry winters, the majority of the annual
precipitation occurs between October and March Runoff typically occurs during rapid warming events
' and is tied closely to the snowfall conditions in the Cascades. In accordance with the NPDES Western
Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit the City requires development to provide on-site
' stormwater management to mitigate these impacts. Level of service standards require stormwater
quantity and quality treatment to be consistent with the City stormwater manual Seethe Capital Facilities
Plan Appendix for additional information.
Inventory
Yakima has a total of 135 miles of storm pipe and 5,300 catch basins The full inventory of stormwater
facilities by Council District are listed in Exhibit 89.

Level of service is regulated by the city's code and design standards that comply with state regulation. All
new development must meet water quality, runoff, and erosion control requirements of the local and
state regulations In 2005, Yakima County and the Cities of Yakima, Union Gap, and Sunnyside entered an
Interlocal Governmental Agreement for compliance under the Eastern Washington Phase II Municipal
Stormwater Permit The Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington provides the design
and management practices for facilities in compliance with federal, state, and local jurisdictional
requirements
As the City grows, developments will be required to install new conveyance and stormwater management
' systems Maintaining level of service through 2040 will require maintaining the existing system and
ensuring new facilities are constructed in accordance with the Municipal Stormwater Permit.

4.8 Water
Overview
Water and irrigation services in Yakima are provided by the Yakima Water/Irrigation Division, which is
owned and operated by the City of Yakima, and the non-profit Nob Hill Water Association (which is
partially located within the City) (Nob Hill Water, 2016). Some areas are under served, water service is
extended on request and new development pays for the extension of infrastructure
Yakima Water/Irrigation Division
The City's water system generally serves central and eastern Yakima The City's Water System Plan Update
for 2017 estimates a service population of 70,800 in 2010 growing to 72,624 in 2015 Yakima
Water/Irrigation Division is supplied by a surface water treatment plan on the Naches River and four active
wells that are used for seasonal emergencies and to meet peak demands. The City has developed a draft
Water System Plan Update (pending 2017) that is designed to meet the target growth and land use plan
of this Comprehensive Plan The Water System Plan Update estimates 233 gallons per day (gpd) per
equivalent residential unit (ERU), and applies that to the projected land use and associated population
growth With the Comprehensive Plan Update, one-third of the expected population target is anticipated
in the City's water service area and the rest in the Nob Hill Water Association service area
Inventory
The City of Yakima Water/Irrigation Division is serving over 73,000 customers with the facilities identified
in Exhibit 90. There are a total of 2,464 fire hydrants, 1,590,619 feet or pipe, and 6,755 valves

Level of Service
The Yakima Water Division works to provide water to those in the service area, targeting capacity at or
above the maximum day demand (MDD) The Yakima Water System Plan projects future water demand
in order to identify needed system improvements, including supply, pumping, storage, and piping The
system considers the different demands associated with different land uses (such as single-family, multi-
family, commercial, industrial, and government)
One measure used is the MDD since it helps with understanding what the maximum demand on the
system may be at any given time Exhibit 91 shows the projected MDD for 2015 through 2040 The current
system capacity is 21.6 millions of gallons per day (MGD), and in 2040 there will be an additional 1.7 MGD
of capacity beyond the projected MDD

Currently the only capacity project planned for the water system is an Aquifer storage and recovery
project, which includes work on two wells The project is anticipated to occur in the 2023 — 2040 time
frame and will cost $10 million (2016$) Non -capacity water capital projects for the 2017 — 2040 planning
period are still pending.
Nob Hill Water Association
The West Valley area of Yakima is served by the Nob Hill Water Association. The Association's residential
population, estimated at around 30,000 in 2015, is expected to grow at 14% throughout the planning
period to a population of over 40,000 in 2040 This growth will have a proportionate effect on the
Association's water demands. The Association's average day demand is expected to increase from 4 43
MGD in 2015 to 6 87 MGD in 2035 Its maximum day requirement is expected to increase from 6,160
gallons per minute (gpm) in 2015 to 9,550 gpm in 2035. The Association has sufficient water rights to
serve its entire water service area through buildout, provided that it can continue to provide a majority
of new developments with separate irrigation systems using water from the Yakima Valley Canal Company
and Yakima Tieton Irrigation District To formalize this strategy, the Association has entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding with the irrigation providers, the City of Yakima, and Yakima County The
Water System Plan identifies a need to drill a new well in the 6 -year planning period (2016-2022) and to
add another well in the 23 -year planning period. Other improvements include the need for standby
storage and booster pump station improvements The Water System Plan uses a standard of 309 gpd/ERU.
Inventory
The Nob Hill Water Association served over 28,000 customers in 2016, with some of the customers located
within the City of Yakima. The Association has over 870,000 feet of water main lines (Nob Hill Water
Association, 2015)
Level of Service
The Nob Hill Water System Plan has an average day demand that is expected to increase from 4,434,000
gallons per day in 2015 to 6,873,000 gallons per day in 2035. Its maximum day requirement is expected
to increase from 6,160 gpm in 2015 to 9,550 gpm in 2035 Exhibit 92 shows the Nob Hill Water District's
estimated population according to the Comprehensive Plan's analysis, as well as the Nob Hill System Plan's
estimated population to serve. The System Plan estimates greater growth in the water district than this
Plan does, indicating that the Water Association is sufficiently planned for future growth, and will have a
surplus of capacity.

4.9 Irrigation
Overview
The City of Yakima was originally developed on Irrigated farmland, with Irrigation provided by several
private Irrigation systems Eventually, urban development replaced farmland The Irrigation systems were
left and suitably modified to irrigate lawns, gardens and small farms. To date, the City of Yakima
Water/Irrigation Division maintains two water delivery systems; one for potable water and one for
irrigation water (City of Yakima, 2012)
The separate, non -potable irrigation system Is composed of more than 60 systems and sub -systems, and
serves approximately 2,100 acres of developed land and 11,000 customers It serves almost 50% of the
total potable water service area Some areas are served by deteriorating steel mains that require frequent
repair Service Is provided by a staff of seven and one-half (7 8) employees which amounts to 0 709 FTE
per 1,000 accounts The level of service has increased to an acceptable level after the refurbishment of
over 32 miles of pipe line The City has Invested over $15,000,000 Into the Irrigation system The level of
service has been developed providing minimum design pressure of 20 psi
The Nelson Dam, an Irrigation diversion structure, is In falling condition and Is under review for the most
cost effective refurbishment This review is through a partnership with Yakima County Flood Control Zone
District, Yakama Nation, Washington Fish and Wildlife, US Fish and Wildlife, US Bureau of Reclamation
and National Marie Fisheries
