AN ORDINANCE rezoning certain property situated between North 16th
Avenue and North 18th Avenue, and south of Lincoln Ave-
nue, within the City of Yakima, from R -3, Multiple-
Family Zone, to B -2, Local Business Zone.
WHEREAS, pursuant to the filing with the City of an application
to rezone property described below, and after due notices were given
as required by law, public hearings wete held by the Planning Commis-
sion and the City Council of the City of Yakima on the matter of the
rezoning of property described below from R -3, Multiple - Family Zone,
to B -2, Local Business Zone, and
WHEREAS, as a result of its most recent public hearing on
December 29, 1969, the City Council finds that a substantial change
of conditions has occurred since the adoption by the City of its
General Plan, among those changed conditions being a growth in popula-
tion in the westerly area of the City and within the area which can
reasonably be expected to be served by the business proposed for the
II I property for which the rezone is sought, and the development and im-
provement of streets, including arterials, within the area which can
reasonably be expected to be served by the business proposed for the
property for which the rezone is sought. The City Council further
finds that the area which can reasonably be expected to be served by
the business proposed for the property for which the rezone is sought
is greater than that contemplated by the General Plan, and that there
is a public need to be served by granting the application for rezone.
The City Council further finds that a portion of the land for which
the rezone is sought is bounded on the north by Lincoln Avenue, and
on the east by 16th Avenue, both of which avenues are arterial streets;
5 and that along arterial streets within the City there presently exist.
sufficient areas of land classified as R -3, Multiple- Family Zone, so
that the public need does not require the perpetuation of the existing
R -3, Multiple - Family Zone, for the property for which the rezone is
sought. The City Council further finds that the streets in the vici-
nity of the property for which the rezone is sought are adequate to
accomodate any increase in traffic which may result from the granting
of the rezone application, and that no undue traffic congestion or
hazard would be thereby created. The City Council further finds that
because of the location and physical characteristics of the property,
the highest and best use for the property for which the rezone is
sought is for B -2, Local Business Zone, and
WHEREAS, as a result of its public hearings, and based on its
findings, the City Council concludes that it would be in the best
public interests and in accord with good planning to grant the appli-
cation for the rezone of the property described below from R -3,
Multiple- Family Zone, to B -2, Local Business Zone, now, therefore,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF YAKIMA:
