7 Capital Facilities
7.1 Introduction
The Capital Facilities Element and associated Capital Facilities Plan Section (Volume II
Appendices) are designed to provide policies to ensure adequate public facilities are
available to serve existing and new development in an efficient, effective, and equitable
manner. The element, along with the Capital Facilities Plan, details the inventories of
existing facilities, lists future infrastructure needs, identifies funding sources, and
provides the goals and policies that create a framework for capital facility planning.
Capital facility planning, as required by the Growth Management Act (GMA), must be
coordinated with the City’s larger land use planning process. This includes ensuring
that adequate capital facilities are available as development and growth occur, along
with the distribution of improvements responsive to prioritized need.
GMA Goal – Public Facilities and Services
Ensure that those public facilities and services
necessary to support development shall be
adequate to serve the development at the time
the development is available for occupancy and
use without decreasing current service levels
below locally established minimum standards.
(RCW 36.70A.020(12)
What are Capital Facilities? Capital facilities
involved should include, at a minimum, water
systems, sanitary sewer systems, storm water
facilities, reclaimed water facilities, schools,
parks and recreational facilities, police and fire
protection facilities. (WAC 365-196-415(2)(a)(ii))
City Financial Management Policies consider
capital assets to be assets with values in excess
of $5,000 and an estimated useful life of more
than one year.

The Capital Facilities Plan provides thea detailed summary of inventoried provider facilities,
level of service standards, and planned projects. It is based on the projected growth
associated with the proposed Land Use Plan in the Land Use Element. Some highlights of the
Capital Facilities Plan levels of service analysis are summarized below.
Public Buildings: The City manages municipal and cultural buildings including City Hall,
Capitol Theatre, and the Convention & Event Center. 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. To carry forward the current ratio of
space to the projected population, the ratio would be 2,400 square feet per person. To
maintain the current building inventory through the year 2040, the ratio would be 1,900 square
feet per person.

Fire and Emergency Services:
The City of Yakima Fire Department (YFD) provides emergency and non-emergency fire,
rescue, and medical services to the city and surrounding area by contractual agreements. The
Yakima Fire Department has provided fire protection and medical services to Yakima County
Fire Protection District #11 (Broadway) through an interlocal agreement since 2016. YFD also
provides fire protection of the remaining area of Yakima County Fire District #10 (Fruitvale).
Most of this district was annexed into the City of Yakima many years ago leaving only a small
section of district just North of the city limits remaining. The Yakima Fire Department has seen
a steady increase in call volume over the past several years, with most calls being medical in
nature. In collaboration with our dispatch center, 911 medical calls are now triaged using a
nationally recognized software program to send the most appropriate level of resources to the
call dependent on its nature. The current adopted response time for fire calls is six minutes;
this consists of two-minute turnout time and a four-minute response time for the first arriving
engine. The full first alarm assignment standard is eight minutes, 90% of the time. As the
number of calls increase and the city continues to increase population in the Western areas of
the city the department could experience pressure on its ability to provide the same level of
service in those affected areas.
The City of Yakima Fire Department (YFD) provides emergency and non-emergency fire,
rescue, and medical services to the City. As of January, 2015 the Yakima Fire Department
provides services to the city of Union Gap and Yakima County Fire Protection District 11
(Broadway) through an interlocal agreement (YFD, 2016). The current adopted level of service
for response time is 8 minutes, 90% of the time. In 2016, YFD was able to meet this level of
service 69% of the time, with an average response time of just over eight 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
8 of 61
DRAFT April 2025 7-7
provide services at the identified LOS standard, leading to a need for changes to the
operations and facilities.
Law Enforcement: The current LOS policy for YPD is 1.8 officers per 1,000 residents (see
Exhibit 7-2). Using the LOS of 1.8 officers per 1,000 residents, with a current population of
100,000, the department currently has a deficit of 20 56 officers. Since population growth will
lead to increased demand for police services, with current staffing levels there would be a
deficit of 62 69 officers by 2040 2046 (when the population is expected to increase to over
110,000107,000). Given that YPD is already operating out of a constrained space, the addition
of 60 69 officers will add to the need for new and expanded capital facilities.
Schools: The City of Yakima is primarily served by the Yakima School District and the West
Valley School District. In 2016, service levels for the Yakima School District was based on a
student-teacher ratio estimated at 18.3 students per teacher. Within the 2023-2024 school
year, Yakima School District had 15,621 students enrolled and 1,031 teachers (OSPI, 2026),
estimating a 15.5 student to teacher ratio. East Valley School District had 5, students enrolled
and 32 teachers (OSPI, 2026) during the 2023-2024 school year, estimating a 17. student to
teacher ratio. Assuming that the current service level of a student-teacher ratio of 18.315.5 is
maintained, by 20402046, 142 additional teachers will be needed to serve the additional
students coming to the Yakima School District.
The level of service analysis for tThe West Valley School District, had 5,570 students enrolled
and 323 teachers (OSPI, 2026) during the 2023-2024 school year, estimating a 17.2 student to
teacher ratio. Assuming that the current service level of a student-teacher ratio of 17.2 is
maintained, by 2046, 142 additional teachers will be needed to serve the additional students
coming to the YakimaWest Valley School District. based on the square footage information
provided, indicates that there is around 167 square feet per student served. In order to
continue serving students at this level, over 400,000 square feet will need to be added to the
inventory by 2040 2046 to accommodate student growth.

Parks: YThe Yakima Parks and Recreation Division owns has 401.82 acres of property within
Yakima city limits includingparks and recreation facilities. Park types include Regional,
nNeighborhood parks, cCommunity parks, mMini-parks, pPathways, pParkways, one gGolf
cCourse, and the Tahoma Cemetery. Parks facilities that meet the standards of a
neighborhood/mini-parks/parkways and community parks and also meet the minimum
requirement for ownership and operation by Yakima Parks and Recreation to be counted
towards level of service standard, the parks and recreation division owns and operates 300.98
park acres Only the Neighborhood and Community Parks are assigned levels of service
standards.
The level of service standard for neighborhood/mini-parks (parkways included) is two acres
per 1,000 residents, Yakima current service provisions for these park facilities is .74 acres per
1,000 resident or 74.58 acres of these parks. The level of service standard for community
parks is 5 acres per 1,000 residents, Yakima current service provision for community parks is
2.26 acres per 1,000 or 226.40 acres of these parks. The 2022-2027 Yakima Parks and
Recreation Division Comprehensive Master Plan highlights non-profit-, private-,
interdepartmental-, and interagency-owned and/or operated parks facilities that help close
these existing level of service gaps and ensure that Yakima residents recreation needs are
being met. Based on a two-acre per 1,000 population standard for Neighborhood/Mini Parks,
the City of Yakima has a current deficit of park lands, and will have a deficit of 173 acres by
2040 if no additional Neighborhood Parks are added. Based on a five-acre per 1,000
population standard for Community Parks, the City has a current deficit of 217 acres and will
have a deficit of over 300 acres by 2040 if no additional Community Park lands are added.
Additional analysis on parks conditions, trends, deficiencies, investments, and 2046 needs
can be found in the Parks and Recreation Element of this Volume of the Comprehensive Plan
as well as in the Capital Facilities Section of Volume II.

Streets and Sidewalks: The City of Yakima maintains approximately 750 miles of streets and
250 miles of sidewalk. Street classification and Level of Service is discussed in greater detail
in the Transportation Element.
Street Lights: Street lights are one of many of Yakima's expenses each year. The City of
Yakima maintains 4,925 street lights. The approximate cost for power consumption is around
$300k per year which works out to about $61 per light per year. The City is in the process of
converting street lights to energy-saving LED lights. There is no adopted level of service
standard.
Transit: The City of Yakima’s Transit Division operates fixed-route buses and paratransit
services within the city, as well as a Yakima-Ellensburg commuter service. Free Special-Event
Shuttle buses transport attendees between designated park & ride locations and special
events, such as Central Washington State Fair and the Arboretum’s Luminaria event, providing
a cost-effective benefit to attending community-based events. Yakima Transit is funded
through local transit taxes as well as Federal and State grants, while additional funds are
sourced through combination of grants, interlocal funding agreements, and continual budget
forecasting. Yakima Transit utilizes a 6-year Transit Improvement Plan and Project List to
assess available funding against needed upgrades to fleet vehicles and renovations to transit
facilities. In 2024, investments to fleet buses included upgrades to modems, cameras, bus
computers, and adding live streaming video capabilities (TDPYakima, 20254). A level of service
methodology has not been established by the City or related agencies (TSPYakima, 201725c)
Air Terminal: The Yakima Airport (McAllister Field) is a general aviation air facility between
Washington Avenue and Ahtanum Road in the south-central area of the City. The airport
handles small passenger aircraft that includes flights to and from SeaTac Airport in Seattle.
The Airport Terminal covers 825 acres and is owned and operated by the City. There are two
active runways located at McAllister Field, which provide primary air transportation for the City
and County. The facility assessment in the Yakima Airport Master Plan identifies that the
11 of 61
DRAFT April 2025 7-10
passenger terminal will need to be expanded by 2020 or sooner to maintain an acceptable
level of service for passenger air service. Commercial, cargo, and passenger air service is
expected to continue to have a growth in demand.
Street Lights: Street lights are one of many of Yakima's expenses each year. The City of
Yakima maintains 4,925 street lights. The approximate cost for power consumption is around
$300k per year which works out to about $61 per light per year. The City is in the process of
converting street lights to energy-saving LED lights. There is no adopted level of service
standard.
Streets and Sidewalks: The City of Yakima maintains approximately 750 miles of streets and
250 miles of sidewalk. Street classification and Level of Service is discussed in greater detail
in the Transportation Element.
Wastewater: The Yakima Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) processes
wastewater from homes and businesses in Yakima, as well as Union Gap, Terrace Heights,
and Moxee. The City provides wastewater collection services for approximately 29,300
accounts, with approximately 339 miles of waste gravity mains, forced mains, and industrial
waste truck lines and maintains 10 lift stations (Yakima, 2023). There are pockets of land in the
City that are not served by sewers due to the land being vacant, or 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, the engineering, and cost of
new lines.
The City conducted drafted a sewer systemWastewater Collection System Master pPlan
update in 20162023, which considers future land use and growth. The Yakima Regional
Wastewater Treatment Plant (YRWWTP) has a design capacity of 21.5 million gallons per day
(MGD) with an average flow of 7.2 MGD, providing for long-term capacity to serve at current
levels (Yakima, 2023). While the YRWWTP has a net reserve capacity in response to projected
increasing demands, some upgrades or modification to lift stations may be considered.

Stormwater: Yakima’s stormwater collection area includes the City of Yakima, as well as
some of the West Valley area outside of city limits. 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.
Water: Water and irrigation services in Yakima are provided by the Yakima Water 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)(NHWA, 2024).
Some areas are under served; water service is extended on request and new development
pays for the extension of infrastructure. The current Yakima system capacity is 21.6 millions of
gallons per day (MGD), and in 2040 2046 there will be an additional 1.70.3 mgd of capacity
beyond the projected maximum day demand (MDD). The Nob Hill 2015 Water System Plans
assumes a growth rate of over 2%. Planned growth in western Yakima is about 1.5%is
projected to increase the maximum day demand by 3,170 gpm between 2023 and 2044. and
can be accommodated with the improvements identified in the district’s Water System Plan.
Irrigation: The City of Yakima was originally developed on irrigated farmland, with irrigation
provided by several private irrigation systems. Today the City’s system allows customers to
irrigate lawns, gardens and small farms. 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. The City of Yakima currently serves the irrigation
district customers within the City with a total of 103 miles of pipe for over 50,000300
customers. The level of service standard provides for minimum design pressure of 20 psi.
Currently, there are 1.6 miles5,458 feet of pipe per 1,000 customers served. Assuming this is
an appropriate level of service, 6.24 miles40,613 feet of pipe will need to be added to maintain
this level of service through the addition of new customers by 20402046.

Refuse: The City of Yakima’s Refuse Division provides weekly garbage collection to over
2635,000 households located within the City of Yakima. Annually, around 32,00037,000 tons
is are collected, with around 90% of the tonnage categorized as garbage and around 10%
categorized as recycled yard waste. The Solid Waste and Recycling Division operates under
the mission of protecting the public health and safety of the City of Yakima and its residents
through providing solid waste services that are efficient, cost effective, and environmentally
responsible. If nearly 6,0004,800 housing units are added with the future land use plan that
could mean about 7,4004,900 more tons of solid waste, an increase of 2313%. Additional
capital costs and staffing may be required to absorb the increase in demand for garbage
collection.

Challenges and Opportunities
Risks Posed to Capital Facilities by Natural Disaster Impacts
Appendix A, The Climate Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Memo addresses many of the
risks posed to Capital Facilities including but not limited to increased water demand during
prolonged droughts; damage to irrigation canals from fires or landslides, heat damage to
roadways, sidewalks, and other transportation infrastructure; added wastewater demand
during extreme precipitation events; and heat related stress for emergency personnel and
outdoor public service employees. These facilities and public service providers are often the
most necessary assets in the event natural disasters, extreme weather events, or other
hazards and may also be the most at risk of negative impacts.
Financing of Facilities
The City is operating under limited resources in terms of both operating and capital budgets.
Investing in new Capital facilities and maintaining them can be challenging for the City, as well
as other facilities providers. As the City grows, it will be important to provide capital facilities
to accommodate future growth. The City can plan to make strategic investments focusing
growth in certain areas. Although the City has limited control over facilities provided by other
service providers, the City can coordinate with them for a planned growth.

Future Needs
Summary here- population change/ demand etc.As the largest city in Yakima County and an
estimated increase of 7,443 residents by 2046, the City of Yakima will need to anticipate this
growth economically, fiscally, and sustainablyposition itself to provide adequate services. The
resulting expansion and increase in demand needed to accommodate the future growth of the
Yakima community will require additional resource capacity and labor force to maintain
consistent levels of service. The Capital Facilities PlanSection described in Volume II of this
Comprehensive Plan provides additional analysis of inventoried capital facilities, level of
service standards, andfuture needs, and planned projects to support future growth. To ensure
growth is accommodated comprehensively each capital facility provider will need to evaluate
their level of service to the community on a regularly, even annually basis.
7.3 Our Capital Facilities Plan
The City of Yakima’s Capital Facility Plan consists of the goals and policies present in this
element of Volume I of the Comprehensive Plan as well as the Capital Facilities section of
Volume II of the Comprehensive Plan.

5. Capital Facilities
5.1. Overview
The GMA grants broad discretion for local jurisdictions deriving which types of capital facilities are
provided and the levels of service required to evaluate for future growth and land development. Capital
facilities include those owned by the City of Yakima and by other public entities. While transportation
facilities are covered in this capital facilities element, these facilities are covered in more detail within
the Transportation Element. Parks and Recreation facilities are included here to supplement the Parks
and Recreation Element in Volume I. Under RCW 36.70A.070 (3), the GMA requires the capital facilities
element must include the following:
An inventory of existing capital facilities owned by public entities;
A forecast of the future needs for such capital facilities;
The proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new capital facilities;
A capital facilities finance plan (covering a minimum of six-years) indicating projected funding
capacities and sources of public money; and
A requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls short of meeting
existing needs and to ensure that the land use element, capital facilities plan element, and
financing plan within the capital facilities plan element are coordinated and consistent.
Prior periodic updates to the Capital Facilities Element included reference to a separate Capital Facilities
Plan document where levels-of-service and financing were separately addressed in a technical manner.
This update consolidates the basis for capital facility level-of-service and financing projections into the
Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, the Capital Facilities Element should be
updated on a regular basis to ensure consistency with city’s financial budget planning, and Land Use
Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
The following sections provide a snapshot of the GMA’s capital facility element requirements based on
long-range plans and facility programs available at the time. Funding expenditures and sources are
referenced from the City of Yakima’s 2025-2029 Capital Budget, 2026-2031 Six Year Capital
Improvement Plan, and/or 2025-2030 Six Year Transportation Improvement Program.
5.1.1. Inventory
Water
Water services in Yakima are provided by the City of Yakima Water/Irrigation Division and Nob Hill
Water Association. The City’s water system, owned and operated by the City of Yakima, shares
boundaries with four other water purveyors in the area, with the non-profit Nob Hill Water Association,
as the only other water purveyor located within the city limits. The City’s water system generally serves
central and eastern Yakima. Water service is extended on request, and new development pays for the
extension of infrastructure.
28 of 61

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 developed
a Water System Plan in July of 2017 to anticipate and meet the target growth and land use plan impacts
derived by this Comprehensive Plan. (Yakima, 2017)
The City of Yakima Water/Irrigation Division serves over 73,000 customers with the facilities identified
below. See Exhibit 5-1 for the numbers of fire hydrants, valves, pump stations and pipe length that move
water throughout the city’s multi-level pressurized system.

In 2023, the Nob Hill Water Association served a population of over 33,500 across the western side of
the City of Yakima. Approximately 11,243 customer meter connections and 12,864 equivalent
residential units were provided with water. The Association sources water from a total of nine wells, and
distributes that water through eight booster stations, five storage facilities, fifteen pressure-reducing
station, and over one million feet of mainline. (NHWA, 2024)
The City of Yakima and Nob Hill Water Association share two emergency interties assisting with
pressure and flow control. The emergency interties each share unique operating characteristics in which
one location can provide the City with additional conveyance, and the other provides Nob Hill with
added conveyance in emergency situations.

Wastewater
The Yakima Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (YRWWTP) processes wastewater from homes and
businesses in Yakima, as well as Union Gap, Terrace Heights, and Moxee. There are pockets of land in
the City that are not served by sewers due to the land being vacant, challenging physical conditions, or
past development allowed on septic systems.
In 2023 the City of Yakima Wastewater Collection System Master Plan identified over 29,000
residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional wastewater accounts. The City provides wastewater
collection services for approximately 29,300 accounts, with approximately 339 miles of waste gravity
mains, forced mains, and industrial waste truck lines and maintains 10 lift stations (Yakima, 2023). See

Stormwater
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.
The City possesses one stormwater source well, referred to as Naches River WTP, in which water is
treated by chlorination, filtration, fluoridation, and other methods. Exhibit 5-4 shows facilities by
districts in Yakima.

Solid Waste / Refuse
According to Yakima County’s April 2023 Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste Management Plan, the City
of Yakima serves 25,879 residential customers in the solid waste collection program. Customers are
charged weekly by the size of their bin, with additional charges incurred for items placed outside of the
bin, overfilling bins, additional collection trips, yard waste, and temporary metal bins. All refuse is
collected by refuse and recycling division staff of the department of public works or a licensed collector
or taken to the sanitary landfill for disposal. Yakima Waste System offers biweekly curbside recycling for
a fee.
The Refuse Division operates 14 daily routes with 20 drivers utilizing 14 frontline trucks and 7 spares,
totaling 21 trucks in all. Customers can pay for 96-gallon, or 32-gallon refuse carts and waste carts.
Annually, around 37,647 tons are collected, with around 90% of the tonnage categorized as garbage and
around 10% categorized as recycled yard waste. See Exhibit 5-5.

Streets and Sidewalks
The street network serving motorized traffic across the city and surroundings area includes the
following functional classifications; local streets, neighborhood collectors, collector arterials, minor
arterials, and primary arterials. Each street classification is defined by its intended purpose and context
within the overall transportation network and provides a range of mobility and accessibility through
specified design standards. Active transportation facilities, such as sidewalks, bike lanes, and ADA
facilities are predominantly located along the side of street rights-of-way are the most evident in the
downtown area.
The City of Yakima maintains approximately 750 miles of streets and 250 miles of sidewalk. To further
understand street classifications, reference the Transportation Element of this document, or see the City
of Yakima 2040 Transportation System Plan. (Yakima, 2025c)
Street Lights
Streetlights are one of many of Yakima's expenses each year. The City of Yakima maintains 4,925
streetlights. The approximate cost for power consumption is around $300k per year which works out to
be about $61 per light per year.
Transit
Yakima Transit serves the City of Yakima and Selah, operating under the direct responsibility of the City
Council and a Transit Manager overseeing the daily operating activities. Yakima Transit has 53
employees and contracts with private organizations for paratransit and commuter services. (Yakima,

Water
Water Demand Forecasting present in the 2017 City’s Water System Plan was based on population
estimates for 2015. Estimates and demand forecasting noted here are based on a service population of
100,000 in 2025, and projecting 107,443 in 2046. The LOS standard is based on maximum day demand
(MDD), representing the maximum demand on the system on any given day. Based on 2017 projections,
the City estimates 233 gallons per day (gpd) per equivalent residential unit (ERU) and applies that to the
37 of 61
5-11
projected land use and associated population growth. By 2046, with an estimated 0.5 MGD increase per
5-year period, a reserve of 0.3 million gallons per day (MGD) is anticipated. See Exhibit 5-11.

In 2023, the Nob Hill Water System Plan estimates approximately 344 gpd per ERU and has an average
day demand that is expected to increase from 316.7 gpd/ERU in 2023 to 345.3 gpd/ERU in 2044. Its
maximum day demand is expected to increase from 5,776 gpm in 2023 to 8,946 gpm in 2044. The
System Plan bases the ERU projections on an estimated increase of 212 ERUs per year, consistent with
maximum increase between 2015-2021.
Irrigation water
The City of Yakima Water/Irrigation Division currently serves irrigation with over 545,000 feet of pipe
for over 300 customers. The level of service standard provides for minimum design pressure of 20 psi.
Currently, there are 5,458 feet of pipe per 1,000 customers served. Assuming this is an appropriate level
of service, 40,613 feet of pipe will need to be added to maintain this level of service through the
addition of new customers by 2046. See Exhibit 5-12 for Irrigation LOS analysis.

Stormwater
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 2046 will require maintaining the existing
system and ensuring new facilities are constructed in accordance with the Municipal Stormwater Permit.
Solid Waste / Refuse
The Solid Waste and Recycling Division operates under the mission of protecting the public health and
safety of the City of Yakima and its residents through providing solid waste services that are efficient,
cost effective, and environmentally responsible.
If the current rate of garbage per household is about 1.05 tons per household and if there is an increase
of about 4,818 households by 2046, there would be an increase of garbage of 4,924 tons, a 13%
increase. See

Other Facilities
Fire & Emergency Services
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. Response time is evaluated based on meeting the 90th percentile for all calls for each fire
station. The department also measures turnout times (the time between a call and when apparatus is
mobilized) and travel times (the time before the first engine company arrives) (YFD, 2025). 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.
The current targeted total response time for fire calls is less than six/seven minutes, 90% of the time.
The target total response time consists of a 60-second call processing, 60/80-second turnout time
(dependent upon day or night), and a four-minute travel time for the first arriving engine. These
benchmarks serve as operational targets, not fixed requirements. Geography, staffing levels, and traffic
patterns can affect whether these targets are consistently achieved.
YFD relies on the EMS third-party provider to respond to all medical calls within the city in ten minutes
or less to 90% of the calls. The City of Yakima accounts for approximately 50% of the calls that AMR
responds to within Yakima County. See Exhibit 5-15.

The Yakima Police Department’s LOS is 1.8 officers per 1,000 residents resulting in a deficit of 56
officers under the current population of approximately 100,000 residents. This deficit is based on
budgeted employment of 124 commissioned officers as of 2025. However, a deficit of 69 officers is
projected for 2046 if current employment levels remain the same. (Boyle, 2026). See Exhibit 5-16.

Schools
In 2016, service levels for the Yakima School District was based on a student-teacher ratio estimated at
18.3 students per teacher. Within the 2024-2025 school year, Yakima School District had 15,621
students enrolled and 1,031 teachers (OSPI, 2026), estimating a 15.5 student to teacher ratio. Assuming
that the current student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is maintained, and if a similar student enrollment to total
population ratio of 15% is anticipated by 2046, 16,116 students are anticipated for enrollment resulting
in a need 3-8 additional teachers. See Exhibit 5-17.

Parks
The Yakima Parks and Recreation Department does not currently have an officially adopted level of
service standard but has instead adopted the NRPA recommendations as a placeholder when adopting
the 2022-2027 Adopted Parks Plan. Exhibit 5-19 shows the level of service standards from this plan.

Yakima Parks and Recreation denoted these park standards with the knowledge that they are met
through a coordinated effort from public entities with public parks facilities. YPR is highly dependent on
the Yakima and West Valley school districts to meet service needs for softball, baseball, soccer, football,
and tennis and has noted the following coordination efforts in the 2022-2027 Adopted Parks Plan.
Yakima Parks and recreation is the main provider of neighborhood and community parks to Yakima
residents and a majority of YPRs investments are to improve or expand these facilities.
Softball – YPR owns and maintains 10 softball fields in the city with several additional softball fields
located on school facilities throughout the city. Softball is a popular sport for adults and youth in
Yakima and the plan highlights a deficiency in meeting its LOS standards and the demand for
programming through either YPR facilities or coordination with external providers.
Baseball – YPR owns and maintains one unlit, adult baseball field and four unlit, youth baseball
fields at Elks memorial park. All other public lit and unlit baseball fields are provided at public school
facilities.
Soccer – YPR owns and maintains four soccer fields at Chesterley Park, one at West Valley
Community Park. Additional fields are owned and operated either by the West Valley School
District, the Yakima School District, or the Sozo Sports Complex. The 2022-2027 Adopted Parks
Plan highlights the popularity of soccer in the City and the consistent growth in the need for
additional YPR facilities or coordination with external providers.
Football – YPR does not own or maintain any dedicated football fields but instead relies on public
fields owned and maintained by the West Valley School District and the Yakima School District
Tennis – YPR owns and maintains 26 tennis courts in parks including Lion’s Park and Kiwanis Park.
While this number technically is not above the NRPA standard as listed in the 2022-2027 Adopted
Parks Plan, School-district owned tennis courts

In 2025, Yakima was deficient in park land by approximately 125.42 acres of neighborhood parks , mini
parks, and parkways. and another 273.60 acres of Community Parks based on the estimated 2025
population of 100,000 residents. It is estimated that Yakima will reach a population of 124,259 by 2046
and without significant investment in parks acquisition, improved coordination with external providers,
or a lower level of service standard for these park facilities, deficits are expected to reach 173.94 acres
for neighborhood parks , mini parks, and parkways and 394.90 acres for community parks based on the
unofficial NRPA LOS that is mentioned in the 2022-2027 Adopted Parks Plan.
Despite the current and projected deficits, YPR asserts that public recreation access near Yakima
provides ample recreational opportunities to residents and a combination of future improvements and
LOS adjustments for YPR facilities will help meet demand for YPR owned and operated facilities.
“Even with lower numbers presented above, Yakima citizens do have the advantage of being
close to a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities with easy access to the Cascades
Mountains to the west and multitude of river and lake access to the east. In addition, generally
favorable climate in the spring, summer and fall months provide greater opportunity to
recreate outside than other cities west of the mountains which receive a substantially greater
amount of rain.”
- Ch. 7; 2022-2027 Adopted Parks Plan
Streets and Sidewalks
Projected traffic volumes are used to derive average daily traffic (ADT) forecasts. ADT forecasts are also
deduced down to estimate AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes. ADT forecast and peak hour traffic
volumes are then used to quantify the degree of comfort, known as LOS, presented when traveling
along a segment of roadway or through an intersection. To further understand traffic capacities and
volumes assessed across the City of Yakima, reference the Transportation Element of this document, or
see the City of Yakima Transportation System Plan. (Yakima, 2025c)
Non-motorized transportation systems do not have an adopted level of service standard established, but
will be evaluated for implementation in the future. Alternatively, practices such as Reduced Speed Limit
44 of 61
5-18
Zones around schools and signalized intersections provide non-motorized users improving safety and
comfort in areas prone to higher volume traffic areas.
Street Lights
The City is in the process of converting street lights to energy-saving LED lights. There is no adopted
level of service standard.
Transit
A level of service methodology has not been established by the City or related agencies (Yakima, 2025c)
Air Terminal
The Master Plan identifies the mission of developing and maintaining an airport that serves the region
with reliable and safe air service at a facility that is compatible with the community. According to the
2020 Update of the Airport Master Plan a total of 81,600 enplaned passengers were forecasted for the
2025 and 92,600 are forecasted in 2040. Overall, the Yakima Airport Terminal anticipates a one to two
percent increase annually through 2040. The Airport Safety Overlay ordinance as adopted by the City of
Yakima and Union Gap addresses land use compatibilities surrounding the Yakima Airport Terminal, to
prevent obstruction of operations.
Public Buildings
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 can designate an LOS
standard for capital facilities deemed necessary for the operations of the City. Alternatively, a LOS of
2,400 square feet per 1,000 persons was established in 2017 based on the population and total public
building square footage at the time. The Capital Theater and Convention & Event Center are not
included in the previous LOS standards due to the separate capital funds used for maintaining these
facilities. Current LOS is approximately 2,270 square feet per 1,000 persons. To maintain this ratio
through 2046 the City would result in 2,110 square feet per 1,000 persons. See Exhibit 5-21.

5.2. Needs and Financing
45 of 61
5-19
Project planning is crucial for capital facilities management as it ensures that resources are allocated
effectively and that the projects align with the community’s needs and long-term goals. Proper planning
helps in identifying upgrades and enhancements, setting priorities based on urgency and feasibility,
coordinating resources when collaborations are available, and ensuring outcomes lead to long-term
value and sustainability.
Natural hazards threaten the long-term value and sustainability of Yakima’s capital facilities due to
possible service interruptions, required emergency interventions, and increased maintenance and
improvement costs. Coordinating resources and understanding natural hazards will ensure that future
and existing city facilities are resilient to observed and well-documented increased risk and impacts of
extreme weather events. Extreme weather events that impact Yakima includes extreme heat, extreme
precipitation (including drought), and regional wildfires. Additional analysis on vulnerability of and risk to
key capital facilities in Yakima can be found in Appendix A alongside possible strategies to increase their
resilience to natural hazards.
Each of the following subsections addresses each facility’s commitment to long-term success,
enhancement of the Yakima community, and resilience to natural hazards.
5.2.1. Water
The City of Yakima’s 2025-2029 Capital Budgets Plan notes multiple funded improvement projects on
new and existing facilities as well as updates to the Water System Master Plan. Examples of funded
projects range from coordinated replacements and upgrades related to ongoing transportation
improvement projects, conversion of metering and data collection systems, pump station updates in
anticipation of future domestic demands, condition/leak assessments, and replacement of system
components like chlorine generator cells, and variable frequency drives, The Terrace Heights Water
System Distribution Improvements project, planned for approximately 2027, includes improving
capacity. The CIP also includes five unfunded projects to construct new wells to improve water quality
and keep up with increasing system demands (Yakima, 2025a).
The Nob Hill Water Association 20-year CIP list improvement categories comprised of water main,
pressure zone, pressure reducing valve, facility, miscellaneous, and developer-funded improvements. Of
these categories over 85 improvement projects are listed but do not include expected timelines for
executions in order to provide flexibility to coordinate them with other road projects as well as the
uncertainty of the timing of other developer-led improvement projects. Projects are awarded with
prioritization scores so that the implementation schedule can be prepared in alignment with the annual
water budget.

Irrigation water
The City’s Irrigation Improvement Fund provides capital funding for all irrigation water supply,
distribution, transmission, storage, pumping stations, and control systems. The primary source of funding
is services rate charges with some grants and bond proceeds also contributing. The rate charge is
comprised of an operations and maintenance components and a capital improvement component.
Projected expenses based on the City’s Capital Budget include pump station improvements and
irrigation main replacements.
5.2.2. Wastewater
The City funds wastewater capital improvement projects through one operating fund and three
additional funds encompassing improvements, rehabilitation, and professional services related to
construction activities associated with the Facility Plan, Biosolids Management Plan, and other planning
documents associated with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit
compliance. Funding is received from capital and connection charges and transfers form the Wastewater
Operating Fund. Example projects from the City’s Capital Budget include coordinated replacements and
upgrades related to ongoing transportation improvement projects, conversion of automated metering
infrastructure, and replacement or rehabilitation of dewatering, grit, clarifier, and ultraviolet systems
(Yakima, 2025a).

5.2.3. Stormwater
The City completed an update to its Stormwater Collection System Master Plan in 2024. The plan
identified over $100 million in capital improvement needs that would be funded through the City’s
Stormwater Operating Fund. Examples of funded expenditures include Drainage Improvement District
Integration, Street Flood Hazard Reduction through the post-construction inspection program, and
Urban Stream Flooding Mitigation that are comprised of box culvert installation and debris removal to
increase stream conveyance. Other items paid from this fund include professional services, repairs and
maintenance (Yakima, 2025a).

5.2.4. Other Facilities
Solid Waste / Refuse
Planned capital projects over the 2025 – 2046 period for the Solid Waste and Recycling Division are not
yet identified. The Solid Waste and Recycling Division is an enterprise fund, so rates are set to ensure
reliable, competitively priced service for the customers. An operating reserve is maintained and reserves
allow for replacement of trucks without interruption of service. At this time, no new trucks are planned
to be purchased. Existing trucks will be replaced with newer trucks in accordance with their
replacement schedule.
Fire & Emergency Services
As the number of calls increases and the city continues to increase population in the Western areas of
the city the department could experience pressure on its ability to provide the same level of service in
those affected areas. The city should enhance training and recruitment for firefighter and paramedic
staffing, and modernize its response times and data management. Additionally, with 70% of emergency
responses involving EMS, the city should consider strong oversight of contractual compliance within the
city. (YFD, 2025b)
50 of 61
5-24
The YFD’s General Fund supports a wide variety of services, assets, and payroll with goals to use
expenditures for vacancy recruitment, pursuing grants, station improvements, and fire alarm monitoring
upgrades. A Fire Capital Fund covers cost associated with fire apparatus and station equipment and
firefighter gear, while a separate Emergency Services Fund, served by a tax levy, supports medical
training, supplies, tools and equipment for emergency medical technicians. The Public Safety
Communication Fund aids with 911 emergency dispatch and record keeping processes along with public
safety radio communication alerts. (Yakima, 2025b) Planned capital projects include training equipment,
back-up generators, siding and roof replacements, dorm remodeling, and sidewalk/driveway
replacements. (Yakima, 2025a)

Law Enforcement
The Police Department continues it’s commitment to recruitment, evaluating, training, and allocating
resources in order to foster a positive community through trusted communication and evidence-based
policing. (YPD, 2018) The Law & Justice Fund (PD - Fund 333) serves as the primary funding source for
the YPD equipment and technology expenses, as well as technical equipment for SWAT. Some of the
Law & Justice funds also support facility maintenance expenses such as the Law & Justice Center
security upgrade, carpet replacement, and parking lot resurfacing. The REET 1 Fund (RT – Fund 342)
also provides funding for capital improvements including the YDP Zais Center and SAU Building and
projected expenses for the YPD Annex Building. (Yakima, 2025a)
Schools
Based on projected student enrollment and estimated household sizes, by 2046 the Yakima School
District will need 33 teachers, and the West Valley School District will need 24 teachers to meet student
enrollment needs.
Parks
Future park investments in the City of Yakima are identified by Yakima Parks and Recreation and based
on level of service standards set for in the 2022-2027 adopted Parks Plan. Currently the Yakima
residents have sufficient access to recreation facilities, but as identified in Section 5.1.3. of this
document, recreation facilities owned and operated by Yakima Parks and Recreation facilities are
technically below the LOS standard for acres needed for Community Parks, Neighborhood Parks, and
Mini Parks.
Parks projects have been identified in the 2022-2027 Adopted Parks Plan to help close these gaps. The
plan also includes strategies to efficiently use capital funds and improve the overall service provision
through additional coordination with nearby parks providers such as Washington State Parks, Non-
profit organizations, private landowners, and school districts that serve Yakima students. A list of funded
future parks projects can be found in Exhibit 5-26 below as well as the LOS impacts that they will have
based on the 2025-2029 Capital Budget.

Streets and Sidewalks
To further understand planned transportation project and associated costs, reference the city’s Six-Year
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), or see the City of Yakima Transportation System Plan.
(Yakima, 2025c) While the city has not adopted a level-of-stress method for evaluating sidewalks, bike
lanes, and trails, the city should consider using the metric in the future to prioritize active transportation
improvements.
Street Lights
When roadways are constructed or reconstructed, street illumination is commonly included in the
overall design. In some cases power or electrical energy is not available and lighting may be limited to
high congestion or high volume intersections. To further understand planned transportation projects
that include street illumination, reference the city’s Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
Transit
Yakima Transit does not have any significant operating changes planned at this time. The Yakima Transit
six-year Transit Development Plan (2016-2021) addresses the future need for capital improvements
across the transit system network. In 2024, investments to fleet buses included upgrades to modems,
cameras, bus computers, and adding live streaming video capabilities. Planned improvement projects
listed include the purchase of two new fixed-route transit buses every two to three years through 2031,
and acquisition of FTA operating grants for fixed-routes. (Yakima, 2024)
Air Terminal
Many of the planned capital projects in the Master Plan address expansion and upgrades to meet FAA
criteria. The alternative analysis provided in the master plan notes the following considerations for
future facility compliance, runway extensions and reconfigurations, expansion of the existing or
construction of a new terminal, and consideration of hanger construction and aircraft parking needs. The
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the Yakima Airport Terminal provides three phases of development
through 2048; Phase I – short-term (2021-2025), Phase II – mid-term (2026-2030), and Phase III – long-
term (2031-2048).
Public Buildings
The City identifies capital maintenance, replacements, and other needed investments in its City Capital
Budget (2025-2029) that help develop the capital improvement program and identify available
revenues. The Capital Theater and Convention & Event Center are not included in the previous LOS
standards due to the separate capital funds used for maintaining these facilities. All other public
buildings are budgeted for or have estimated costs projected through the City’s REET 1 Fund (RT – Fund
342), projected examples include, City Hall restroom renovation, Public Works facility equipment
upgrade, and the Henry Beauchamp, Jr. Community Center fire alarm system update.
