West Yakima Avenue in the City of Yakima from R-3,
Multiple Family Residential Zone, to B-2, Local Business

WHEREAS, after proper petition and due notice, a hearing was
held before the City Planning Commission on February 6, 1962, upon
the petition of Ted Poy et al. to rezone the property located at 1107
and 1109-A West Yakima Avenue in the City of Yakima, Washington, from
R-3, Multiple Family Residential Zone, to B-2, Local Business Zone,
and
WHEREAS, on February 12, 1962, said Planning Commission, by
letter, notified the City Council of the City of Yakima of the denial
of said petition by the City Planning Commission, and.
• WHEREAS, thereafter, on the 16th day of February, 1962, the said
petitioners appealed from the denial of said petition to the City
Council, and
WHEREAS, a hearing was held by the City Council on said appeal
on March 12, 1962, which said hearing was continued until March 19,
1962, and
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of said hearing on said appeal, after
due and careful consideration of all the factors involved in said
application, the City Council passed a motion recommending said re-
zone, disapproving the recommendation of the Planning Commission that
the petition for such rezone be denied, and requesting a further
report of the Planning Commission, and.
WHEREAS, in a regular meeting of the City Planning Commission on
*April 3, 1962, the Planning Commission reviewed said application for
-1-
rezone and, after due consideration, instructed the Secretary of the
III City Planning Commission to notify the City Council of the denial of
said petition by the City Planning Commission, and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, after further reviewing the
application for rezone, that to deny the petition would have the
effect of depreciating the value of the property without increasing
or otherwise affecting the value or use of other property in the same
general area; that the portion of the property fronting on West Yak-
ima Avenue has existed and has been used as business property for
more than 30 years last past and is presently being used as business
property, and that the highest and .best use of such property is for
•
business purposes, and
WHEREAS, the Council further finds that the majority of property
owners in the immediate vicinity of the property do not object to a
•
change in the classification of the property from a residential zone
to a business zone; and that the rezoning of the property will in no
way interfere with the vehicular or foot traffic along West Yakima
Avenue, nor with the widening of West Yakima Avenue as contemplated
by the City of Yakima; and that such rezone is in accord with good
planning and with the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Yakima, now,
therefore,
