PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: The City of Yakima Planning Division is proposing non-project amendments to the City of Yakima's Municipal Code Title 15. The purpose of the proposed amendments is to evaluate the zoning criteria for secure community transition facilities within the City of Yakima. Additionally, the proposed changes add criteria to Table 4-1. The review of these uses was initiated as a result of a moratorium the City Council initiated on May 12, 2026. The Yakima Planning Commission held a study session to review the proposed amendments on August 12, 2026. Proposed Amendment Sections: The complete track changes text can be found in Exhibit "A" and is incorporated herein by reference. A summary of the amendments is as follows: 1. YMC Chapter 15.02 — Definitions a. Adding new definitions to the ordinance to better distinguish between transitional housing facilities, and secure community transition facilities. Staff Analysis: The State of Washington has issued guidance for siting guidelines as it relates to temporary housing facilities. The City of Yakima is updating the zoning ordinance to comply with the State standards and better define the siting a secure community transition facility. 2. YMC Subsection 15.04.030 —Table of permitted land uses a. Adding uses Table 4-1. Staff Analysis:Adding uses to the table will help differentiate siting and zoning standards for uses related to temporary housing facilities. 3. YMC § 15.09.230— Less Restrictive Alternatives a. Creating a new section specifically for Secure Community Transition Facilities. Staff Analysis: In addition to modifying Table 4-1 and the definitions for the uses, the City has an opportunity to establish siting guidelines for uses. Creating a separate section for secure community transition facilities provided an opportunity to alleviate any adverse impacts a facility may have on a zoning district or surrounding area. The standards developed for the siting standards derive from other siting and processing standards the City has for other higher DOC. INDEX # ,_. 74 329 intensity uses. Using a combination of existing requirements the City already has in place adds consistency to existing processes. II. YAKIMA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2040 The proposed text amendments are consistent with the following goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan 2040 Policy 2.2.3.0 Principal uses & density: A mixture of retail, commercial service, office, and high density residential uses depending on the area's context. Corridors and neighborhood centers can accommodate a greater mixture of retail and commercial service uses while some transitional areas near the edge of residential neighborhoods are more appropriate for a mix of office and residential uses. The permitted maximum residential density is up to or above 13 net dwelling units per acre, depending on the underlying zoning district and neighborhood context. For developments electing to conform to site and building design standards promoting pedestrian-oriented development, density is primarily limited by allowable building height, integration of required parking, market conditions, and conformance with applicable site and building design provisions. Specifying the maximum number of dwelling units in one building may be appropriate in some areas to ensure a neighborhood-friendly scale of development. Policy 2.5.1.0 Update zoning and design provisions to promote compatibility between different uses and zones. Examples include building setbacks, building massing, landscaping buffers, fencing, service element location, and design provisions, and vehicular parking and access provisions. Landscape buffers are particularly important elements that can effectively mitigate impacts of commercial uses on adjacent residential uses. Commercial development adjacent to Low Density Residential designated areas warrant the greatest compatibility design protections. III. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW(SEPA) This project was processed for review under the State Environmental Policy Act as a procedural action per WAC 197-11-800(19), and a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS)will be issued following the Planning Commission hearing. IV. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Public Hearing August 11, 2026 Legal Ad Publication August 11, 2026 Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) August 27, 2026 No written comments were received during the public comment period. V. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 1. The proposed amendments adopt state policy and further refine and clarify the land use process within the Yakima Municipal Code. 2. No adverse impacts have been identified by the approval of these amendments. DOC. INDEX# TXT#001-26 A- 2 330 3.
