A-1 Remand Hearing Staff Report 06/24/2015
City of Yakima Planning Division "Mission" Use Remand
Staff Report
TO: City of Yakima Planning Commission
FROM: Jeff Peters, Supervising Planner
SUBJECT: Update Regarding Staff Recommendation for "Mission" Use
FOR MEETING OF: June 10, 2015
ISSUE: Yakima City Council remand of the City Planning Commission's
-recommendation regarding incorporation of the Hearing Examiner's 1992 and 95 Use
Interpretations defining the use and level of Review of a "Mission" into the text and
tables of the City of Yakima's Zoning Ordinance.
BACKGROUND: The City of Yakima Planning Commission conducted a study sessions
regarding the incorporation of the "Mission" use, definition, and level of review on
December, 10, 2014, January 14, 2015, February 11, 2015, and February 25, 2015. On
March 25, 2015, the Commission held its required public hearing on the matter and
found that the "Mission" use as defined by the City Hearing Examiner's 1992 and 95
decisions appropriately defined a "Mission", the proposal meet the zoning district intent
statements for the General Commercial, Central Business District, and Light Industrial
zoning districts, and that a Class (2) Review was an appropriate level of review for the
proposed use.
On May 19, 2015, the Yakima City Council held its required public hearing to consider
the Planning Commission's recommendation to incorporate the "Mission" definition and
use into the City's Municipal Code. At the public hearing, numerous members of the
public testified about the problems that have been created by the allowance of the Union
Gospel Mission at its present location on N. 1St Street, and requested that the Council
consider increasing the level of review for the "Mission" to a Type (3) Review. As a
result, the Yakima City Council unanimously voted to remand the proposed
recommendation and accompanying ordinance back to the Yakima Planning
Commission for the expressed purpose of soliciting increased public involvement from
property owners along N. 1St Street, and further consideration of increasing the level of
review to a Type (3) Review.
STAFF SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS: In light of the Council remand, City Planning and
Legal staff have reviewed the two proposed issues requested to be addressed by the
Council and are recommending the following amendments:
1. The class of use should remain a Class (2) Use as defined below to ensure that
issues related to the Federal Fair Housing Act are addressed by not deeming the
proposed use an incompatible land use;
2. The level of review should be elevated to that of a Type (3) Review which
requires a public hearing by the City of Yakima Hearing Examiner in accordance
with YMC § 15.15 without changing the underlying statement of compatibility;
DOC.
INDEX
alb
3. The definition and process should also be revised to indicate that any expansion
of an approved Class (2) "Mission" shall be processed in accordance with the
Modification provisions of YMC § 15.17.
4. The addition of a "Good Neighbor /Development Agreement" as part of the use
definition and process is an appropriate means to ensure that all required
mitigation imposed by the Hearing Examiner is enforceable post construction and
operation.
Definitions:
a. A Class (2) Use is defined as: "those uses set forth and defined in the text
and tables of YMC Chapter 15.04 and are generally permitted throughout
the district. However, site plan review by the administrative official is
required in order to ensure compatibility with the intent and character of
the district and the objectives of the Yakima urban area comprehensive
plan."
b. A Class (3) Use is defined as: "those uses set forth and defined in the text
and tables of YMC Chapter m15. 4„ and are generally incompatible with
adjacent and abutting property because of their size, emissions, traffic
generation, and neighborhood character or for other reasons. However,
they may be compatible with other uses in the district if they are properly
sited and designed. Class (3) may be permitted by the hearing examiner
when he determines, after holding a public hearing, that the use complies
with provisions and standards; and that difficulties related to the
compatibility, the provisions of public services, and the Yakima urban
area comprehensive plan policies have been adequately resolved."
Proposed Draft Definition:
"Mission" means a facility typically owned or operated by a public agency or non-
profit corporation, providing a variety of services for the disadvantaged, typically
including but not limited to temporary housing for the homeless, dining facilities,
health and counseling activities, whether or not of a spiritual nature, with such
services being generally provided to the public at large. Mission uses shall be
considered Class (2) uses which are generally permitted throughout the
underlying district, but require Type (3) Review to provide for increased public
notice, comment and review in order to ensure compatibility with the intent and
character of the district and the objectives of the Yakima Urban Area
Comprehensive Plan. Mission uses within the GC General Commercial, CBD
Central Business District, and M-1 Light Industrial zoning districts as set forth in
Table 4-1, YMC 15.04.030, shall be subject to a Type (3) review as set forth in
Chapter 15.15 YMC effective as and from July 1, 2015. Any expansion of any
existing mission use within such zoning districts shall follow the modification
provisions of YMC 15.17 provided that any use which does not meet the
requirements of YMC 15.17.040 shall be processed as a Class (2) use requiring
a Type (3) Review. Additionally, prior to occupation and/or operation of all new
and/or expanded mission uses, the applicant shall enter into a "Good
Neighbor/Development Agreement codifying all required development standards,
and mitigation required by the City of Yakima Hearing Examiner.

proposed ordinance; and
WHEREAS
After considerable deliberation on the proposed ordinance, the Yakima City Council found that

Findings and Recommendations INDEX
on the City Council's request to increase the level of review for a "Mission" use to that of a Type
(3) Review, and made the following findings; and
Now therefore, the Yakima City Planning Commission presents the following findings
and recommendations to the Yakima City Council:
Based upon a review of the information contained in the City of Yakima Hearing Examiner's
1992 and 1995 Unclassified Use Interpretations, (City of Yakima Interpretations INT#1-92, and
INT#2-95), City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2025, Yakima Neighborhood Health's
supplemental information, exhibits, testimony and other evidence presented at an open record
public hearing held on March 25, 2015, and remand hearing of June 24, 2015; and a review of
the Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance; the Planning Commission makes the following:
FINDINGS
The amendment proposal to establish, further regulate or permit the use of "Mission" as defined
by the City of Yakima Interpretations INT#1-92, and INT#2-95, and considered by the City of
Yakima Planning Commission at its March 25, 2015, public hearing within the Yakima Municipal
Code, Title 15 Urban Area Zoning Ordinance.
The requested changes are consistent with the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan by
meeting the goals, objectives and policies of the Plan set forth in the General Development,
Public Services, Land Use, Transportation, and Utilities Elements of the Comprehensive Plan.
The City of Yakima Planning Commission has studied the proposed issues and finds that the
proposed ordinance amendment will not have an adverse consequence for adjacent
jurisdictions or service providers. There are no regionally significant issues known related to the
request; consequently, this request will not significantly contribute to the cumulative impacts of
other Comprehensive Plan amendments, and/or zoning amendments.
This proposal meets the County -wide Planning Policies and intent of the Growth Management
Act because it will provide appropriate land use controls which direct service providers of the
homeless populations of Yakima to appropriate zoning districts within the City of Yakima that
have the least impact on surrounding business, and residential neighborhoods.
YAKIMA PLANNING COMMISSION'S CONCLUSIONS
a) The text amendment impacts the Central Business District, General Commercial,
and Light Industrial zoning districts of the City.
b) No significant adverse environmental impacts have been identified by the approval of
the amendment request.
c) The requested text amendment to the City of Yakima's Urban Area Zoning
Ordinance is supported by the City of Yakima's Urban Area Comprehensive Plan
2025.
d) The amendment to the Yakima Municipal Code, Title 15 Urban Area Zoning
Ordinance, which includes, but is not limited to, a new definition in YMC § 15.02, and
addition of a new land use category to YMC § 15.04 Table 4-1 Permitted Uses.
e) The City of Yakima Planning Commission considered the issues raised by the
Yakima City Council on remand at its June 24, 2015, meeting by: 1) considering
additional testimony from business and property owners along N. 1 st St. at two public
study sessions, and one open record hearing, and 2) elevating the level of review of
a "Mission" to that of a Type (3) Review.
®

2015 Yakima Planning Commission pe
Findings and Recommendations IND
f) The City of Yakima Planning Commission concludes that increasing the level of
review of a "Mission" use from a Type (2) to Type (3) Review process does not
hinder a mission from locating within the CBD, GC, and M-1 zoning districts, but
rather enhances the public's involvement in commenting on such applications.
g) The City of Yakima Planning Commission further concludes that due to the impacts
of a "Mission" on surrounding businesses, and residential neighborhoods that
"Mission" uses should be required to enter into a development agreement between
the City of Yakima and applicant/property owner.
MOTION
Based upon the analysis, findings and conclusions outlined above, it was moved and seconded
that the Yakima Planning Commission recommend APPROVAL of the text amendment to the
Yakima Municipal Code (YMC) Title 15, Urban Area Zoning Ordinance. The motion carried by
unanimous vote.
Having made the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions, the Planning Commission hereby
renders its
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

Re: CITY PLANNING DIVISION / YNHS — "MISSION" & "RESOURCE
SERVICE CENTER" USES — Proposed text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance:
TXT#00I - ] 5 and TXT#002- 15
It is my understanding that you are having a Study Session this afternoon at 3:30
pm regarding the above matter. Mr. Jeff Peters, Supervising Planner, has advised
me that if I forward this letter to him by 3:00 pm today he will provide copies to
you.
This matter has been remanded to you by the City Council for further review and
consideration. I have reviewed the City Council Meeting at which this issue was
considered and it appears that both the citizens that testified and the Council
Members were concerned that the proposal being made included a recommendation
of just a Class 2 review. The purpose of this letter is to urge you to adopt a Class 3
review on Mission and Resource Service Center Uses.
The Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance includes several uses that are permitted
onl with a Class 3 review, to -wit:
Social Card Rooms (See YMC 15
Horse Racing Tracks, Speedways
Cemetery/Crematorium with Funeral Home
Hospital (*) Outside Institutional Overlay
Correctional Facilities
Senior High School
Wastewater Sprayfield (')
Zoo (*)
Treatment Centers For Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation
( F,
DOC. JUN
,�, INDEX
Rendering Plants, Slaughter Houses
Mining Including Sand and Gravel Pits ( )
Off -Site Hazardous Waste Treatment and Storage Facilities (')
Golf Courses, Clubhouses, Golf Driving Ranges
Concentrated Feeding Operation
The City has determined that the above uses can be so detrimental to
surrounding property owners that the only way they should be permitted, if
at all, is with a Class 3 Review. Note that one of the uses that requires a
Class 3 Review is Treatment Centers for Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation; a
problem that is epidemic to people who find their way to a Mission.
In summary, it is my recommendation that a Mission and/or Resource
Service Center Use be permitted only with a Class 3 Review. Do we really
want anot orth First Street disaster in some other area of the City?
