3. The recommendation from interested agencies and departments:

4. The extent to which the proposed amendments are in compliance with
and/or deviate from the goals and policies as adopted in the Yakima Urban
Area Comprehensive Plan and the intent of this title:
The proposed SCC zoning district is an implementing zone of the
Comprehensive Plan 2040 designation of Community Mixed -Use and is
compatible with the following goals and policies:
• Goal 2.1: Establish a development pattern consistent with the
community's vision.
o Policy 2.1.1: Designate the general distribution, location, and
extent of the uses of land for housing commerce, recreation, open
spaces, public utilities, and facilities and other uses.
o Policy 2.1.4: Manage and maintain the City's Official Zoning Map
to ensure continued consistency with the Future Land Use Map.
• Goal 2.5: Enhance the character, function, and economic vitality of
Yakima's arterial corridors and mixed-use centers.
o Policy 2.5.1: Allow for a mixture of compatible land uses along
corridors and within mixed-use designated areas. This includes
the integration of multi -family residential and office uses with retail
service and commercial uses. Provide zoning and design
standards to maintain compatibility between different uses and
zones.

This property is served by all public utilities necessary to support future
development. As a landlocked parcel, there are no frontages in need of
improvement.
®0c.
Gary Delaney
RZ#005-19, SEPA#018-19 ! 4
6. The compatibility of the proposed zone change and associated uses with
neighboring land uses:
The rezone proposal to SCC will allow the subject property to be redeveloped to
allow for commercial uses similar to those located to the west of it.
7. The public need for the proposed change:
The public need for this proposed change will bring the property into
conformance with its future land use category of Community Mixed Use and will
allow it to be developed similar to other nearby commercial properties.
B. Development Services Team (DST) Review
On May 7, 2019, a DST meeting was held to discuss the possible impacts of this
rezone. No comments were received.
C. Public Comments
One comment was received in opposition to the rezone, opposing the development
of a new laundromat in the neighborhood, questioning the need for it along with
concerns for increased traffic and other negative impacts to the area.
Staff Response: This is a non -project rezone to rezone a landlocked lot from R-2 to
SCC. A separate Type (1) Review for a laundromat was previously approved, but it
was not part of this rezone request.
V. CONCLUSIONS
A. The Planning Commission has jurisdiction to issue a recommendation on this
application to the City Council.
B. The proposed Rezone is consistent with the goals and policies of the Yakima
Comprehensive Plan 2040.
C. SEPA review resulted in the issuance of a DNS on July 2, 2019. The appeal period
for this determination ended on July 16, 2019. No appeal was filed.
D. No adverse impacts have been identified from granting this approval that cannot be
mitigated at the time of future development.
E. Public notice for this hearing was provided in accordance with zoning ordinance
requirements.

plan, It is in the applicant's best interest to provide a carefully drawn and scaled site plan with all required
information. The decision on whether or not to grant approval of your development proposal is largely based on the
information you provide. An application cannot be processed until an adequate site plan is submitted.
Please complete this checklist and include it with your site plan. The site plan must contain all pertinent information.
Items not applicable to the proposed project shall be noted.
1) Use Ink: Use blue or black permanent ink. It may be helpful to draft the site plan in pencil then trace over in
ink. Ink is necessary for adequate duplication.
2) Use A Straight Edge: All lines must be straight and done with the aid of a ruler or other straight edge. Use a
compass when delineating circular drawings such as cul-de-sacs. Computer drafted site plans are acceptable.
3) Draw To Scale: Site plans shall be drawn to scale. The site plan template has a suggested map scale of one inch
equaling twenty feet (1"=20'). Distances on the map must be as representative of reality as possible. For
example, if the distance from a structure to a property line is 20 feet, the distance on the site plan will be 1 inch.
4) Use Site Plan Checklist: Use the site plan checklist and provide all applicable information on the site plan.
5) Fill In Information On The Site Plan Template Available At The City Of Yakima Or Attach The
Information Below To Your Site Plan: Complete all information requested on the bottom of the site plan
template. If you use a different medium, provide the requested information on the alternative paper.
Note: You may benefit from the aid of a professional in the preparation of a site plan.

In reference to proposal:
Gary Delaney RZ#005-19 SEPA#018-19
Joan Davenport
Community Development Director, City of Yakima
Director Davenport,
We have received the notice of application, environmental review & public
hearing papers and are taking this opportunity to respond. As a resident of the area
and property owner for over 3 decades I have a strong interest and concern for the
area. I own the property at 1404 so. 2nd ave. As I am familiar with many of the local
property owners I am puzzled at how the addition of a laundromat to the area
benefits the neighborhood. I know of no homes which lack laundry facilities and
witnessed very limited activity at the laundromat located across from the proposed
site consequently most of the traffic would be from outside the neighborhood.
Yakima does not need another laundromat and certainly not in this area. As well as
being unneeded it would increase traffic in an area with many children, possibly
become a site for loitering and drug transactions, negatively affect the residential
makeup and overall be more of a detriment than an asset to the area. For these
reasons we object to this proposal and request it be denied.
Sincerely yours,
Mr and Mrs Thomas L. Prather

additional single -use towers, and to reduce the number of such structures needed in the future;
6, To consider the public health and safety of towers to the extent permitted by the Telecommunications Act
of 1996; and
7 To avoid potential damage to adjacent properties through sound engineering practices and the proper siting
of antenna support structures

permit The costs ofthe technical review shall be bome by the provider,
The selection ofthe third -party expert may be by mutual agreement between the provider and the city, or, at the
discretion ofthe city, with a provision for the provider and interested parties to comment on the proposed expert and
review its qualifications, The expert review is intended to address interference and public safety issues and be a site-
specific review of technical aspects of the facilities or a review of the providers' methodology and equipment used
and not a subjective review ofthe site that was selected by a provider. Based on the results ofthe expert review, the
city may require changes to the provider's application, The expert review shall address the following:

point on the antenna support structure, reduction in the effective radiated power ofthe antenna or reduction in
the number of transmissions from the antennas, the operator ofthe tower shall have six months from the date of
effective abandonment to co -locate another service on the tower, If another service provider is not added to the
tower, then the operator shall promptly dismantle and remove the portion ofthe tower that exceeds the
minimum height required to function satisfactorily Notwithstanding the foregoing, changes which are made to
per»eaa»aed-wireless facilities which do not diminish their essential role in providing a total system shall not
constitute abandonment, However, in the event that there is a physical reduction in height of substantially all of
the provider's towers in the city or surrounding area then all of the towers within the city shall similarly be
reduced in height: or -
3 Dismantle and Remove Facility, If the tower, antenna, foundation, and facility are not removed within the
sixty-day time period or additional period oftime allowed by the city, the city may remove such tower,

15.29.010 Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to establish general guidelines for the siting of wireless unit ` facilities,
including towers, antennas and support structures.
A. Goals. The goals of this chapter are to:
1. Enhance the ability of pwrs nal -wireless service providers to provide such services throughout the city
quickly, effectively, and efficiently;
2. Encourage persomil wireless service providers to locate towers and antennas in nonresidential areas;
3. Encourage personal -wireless service providers to co -locate on new and existing tower sites;
4. Encourage pefs iia -wireless service providers to locate towers and antennas, to the extent possible, in
areas where the adverse impact on city residents is minimal;
5. Encourage pei--sonal-wireless service providers to configure towers and antennas in away that minimizes
any significant adverse visual impact; and
6. Provide for the wireless communications needs of governmental entities.
Accordingly, the city council finds that the promulgation of this chapter is warranted and necessary:
1. To manage the location of towers and antennas in the city;
2. To protect residential areas and land uses from potential adverse impacts of towers;
3. To minimize adverse visual impacts of towers through careful design, siting, landscape, screening, and
innovative camouflaging techniques;
Chapter 15.29 WIRELESS Ct MMUNICATION
FACILITIES
Page 276/315
4. To accommodate an increased need for towers to serve the wireless earnffHmic;al-ions-needs of city
residents;
5. To promote and encourage col -location on existing and new towers as an option rather than construction of
additional single -use towers, and to reduce the number of such structures needed in the future;
6. To consider the public health and safety of towers to the extent permitted by the Telecommunications Act
of 1996; and
7. To avoid potential damage to adjacent properties through sound engineering practices and the proper siting
of antenna support structures.
B. New Uses. All new-tlet,aarn�tntnik,,ition towers, sniplll wir less ell jli ifiti ,s, antennas and support structures

3. Major Modification—Required Permits. A major modification shall be processed under the same permit
types as new towers located in the same zone and area. (See Table 29-1, Permit Table or Table 29 1-,-5,-.)
B. Colla --t ,ocation Capable—New Structures. To reduce the number of antenna support structures needed in the city
in the future, the following standards apply to new towers -or bdaw, - sta ioua s:
1. Requirement and Waiver. New proposed support structures shall be designed to accommodate at least two
additional antenna arrays equal to those of the applicant, and located as close to the applicant's antenna as
possible without causing interference. This requirement may be waived if such design is not feasible for
aesthetic reasons, or necessary to preserve camouflaging or stealth structures in residential or protected areas;
or provided, that the applicant, in writing, demonstrates that the provisions of future shared usage of the tower
is not technologically feasible or creates an unnecessary and unreasonable burden, based upon:
a. The kind of wireless telecrrnrniaations-facilities site and structure proposed; or
b. The number of existing and potential licenses without wireless telecommunications facilities
spaces/sites; or
c. Available space on existing and approved towers or other appropriate structures.
2. Owner Certification. The owner of a proposed tower, and his/her successors in interest, shall either:
a. Provide a written statement affirming that a master license agreement with another wireless provider
or providers exists stating mutually acceptable terms and conditions for co -location for wireless facilities
on the tower and site; or
b. Provide a written statement affirming that the owner and owner's successors will negotiate in good
faith for the co -location and shared use of the proposed tower by other wireless service providers in the
future, and shall allow shared use of the tower if anotherlequ�cawawauwtuuuueotuaauwwire less se'" war"et provider
agrees in writing to pay reasonable charges. The charges may include, but are not limited to, a pro rata

share of the cost of site selection, planning, project administration, land costs, site design, construction and
maintenance financing, return on equity, less depreciation, and all of the costs of adapting the tower or
equipment to accommodate a shared user without causing electromagnetic interference.
C. Cosa location Encouraged—Existing Structures. To minimize adverse visual impacts associated with the
proliferation of towers, co➢ -location of p4Li�-,ssinal wireless service facilities on existing towers and structures is
encouraged as follows:
1. Co-Zlocation is permitted by right under a modification permit, unless the modification constitutes a
substantial change to the tower and/or base station pursuant to Section 6409(a) of the Middle Class Tax Relief
and Job Creation Act of 2012/47 C;F Rectioirn L16.a.001. Changes to tower height that constitute a "substantial
change" as defined by subsection (A)(2) of this section are subject to all provisions applicable to new towers
and base stations described in this chapter.
2. The city may deny an application to construct new facilities if the applicant has not shown by substantial
evidence that it has made a diligent effort to mount the facilities on a suitable existing structure or tower within
one (lt,lky ter liall" smile of the proposed facility.
3. All wireless service providers or lessees or agents thereof shall cooperate in good faith to accommodate co -
location with competitors.
D. Required Parking. Adequate parking shall be required for maintenance workers.

within three hundred feet of residential zoned districts shall demonstrate that the requirements of YMC
15.29.050(B)(2) have been met.
2. NEPA Requirements. Antennas and tower facilities proposed to be located in or within three hundred feet
of an established or pending federal, state or local historic district or historic district overlay are facilities that
may affect districts, sites, buildings, structures or objects significant in American history, architecture,
archeology, engineering or culture, that are listed, or are eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic
Places. (See 16 U.S.C. 470w-5; 36 CFR Parts 60 and 800.) Applicant shall comply with applicable provisions

eight inches in height within eighteen months shall be planted in front of the tree line referenced above.
iii. To the extent feasible, the tower or mount shall be placed amongst and adjacent to the drip line of
three or more evergreen trees at least seventy-five percent of the height of the facility.
iv. An automatic irrigation system providing irrigation as needed according to plant type, season and
maturity of plantings.
c. Continued Maintenance. Applicant shall have a continuing obligation to maintain the landscaping
improvements. In the event that landscaping is not maintained at the required level, the city after giving
thirty days' advance written notice may maintain or establish the landscaping and bill both the owner and
lessee for such costs until such costs are paid in full, or may seek enforcement through any available
remedy.
d. Trees—Recording of Conditions. To ensure that trees associated with camouflaging and screening are
preserved, the following note shall be recorded on the property title:
All trees within 50 feet of the -1 let��mmnai+rocaliotis„ it less facility located on this property, which serve to
screen theto °or �utttwt��catlt��ts lrc9 .-ss facility, shall be retained for the life of the toie� ���� rd�ut��c t� a� s �Nirreless_
facility. Screening trees may only be removed if deemed diseased or dangerous by a certified arborist. Before

RA. Visual Impact Assessment. A visual impact assessment with photo -simulation of the proposed facility is
required for all applications that require a conditional use permit or variance, and may be required by the
administrator for any other application deemed necessary by the administrator to assess visual impacts associated
with such application. As part of such application, the applicant shall furnish a visual impact assessment, which shall
include:
1. Zone of Visibility Map. If a new tower or substantial modification increasing the height of an existing
structure is proposed, a computer generated "zone of visibility map" at a minimum of one -mile radius from the
proposed structure, wiitti-ari t wilhout lcaH age shall rllityr, be provided to illustrate locations from which the
proposed installation may be seen.
2. Photo -Simulations. Pictorial representations of "before and after" (photo -simulations) views from key
viewpoints within the zone of visibility. Guidance will be provided, concerning the appropriate key sites at the
preapplication meeting, as required. Provide a map showing the locations of where the pictures were taken and
distance from the proposed structure.
3. Description of Visual Impact. A written description of the visual impact of the proposed facility including,
and as applicable, the tower base, guy wires, fencing and accessory buildings from abutting and adjacent
properties and streets as relates to the need or appropriateness of camouflaging. (Ord. 2016-029 § 1 (Exh. A)
(part), 2016: Ord. 2013-051 § 2 (Exh. A) (part), 2013).
15.29.140 Third -party review.
Pwsonaat wireless service providers use various methodologies and analyses, including geographically based
computer software, to determine the specific technical parameters of their wire less ._services and la�wv l,ar vc�� taaol�tlt�
radio"erv-iee-facilities, such as expected coverage area, antenna configuration, topographic constraints that affect
signal paths, etc. In certain instances, a third -party expert may need to review the technical data submitted by a
provider. The city may require a technical review as part of a permitting process for a variance or conditional use
permit. The costs of the technical review shall be borne by the provider.
The selection of the third -party expert may be by mutual agreement between the provider and the city, or, at the
discretion of the city, with a provision for the provider and interested parties to comment on the proposed expert and
review its qualifications. The expert review is intended to address interference and public safety issues and be a site-
specific review of technical aspects of the facilities or a review of the providers' methodology and equipment used
and not a subjective review of the site that was selected by a provider. Based on the results of the expert review, the
city may require changes to the provider's application. The expert review shall address the following:
1. The accuracy and completeness of submissions;
2. The applicability of analysis techniques and methodologies;
3. The validity of conclusions reached; and
4. Any specific technical issues designated by the city. (Ord. 2016-029 § 1 (Exh. A) (part), 2016: Ord. 2013-
051 § 2 (Exh. A) (part), 2013).
15.29.150 Nonuse/abandonment.
A. Notice of Abandonment. No less than thirty days prior to the date that a ural v is les^r service -provider
plans to abandon or discontinue operation of a facility, the provider must notify the city of Yakima by certified U.S.
mail of the proposed date of abandonment or discontinuation of operation. In the event that a lic-ensed
earrierl1rov d..e.r fails to give notice, the facility shall be considered abandoned upon the city's discovery of
DOC.
IMD�
Chapter 15.29 WIRELESS IX.—MUNICATION
FACILITIES
Page 303/315
discontinuation of operation. Upon such abandonment, the provider shall have sixty days or additional period of
time determined in the reasonable discretion of the city within which to:
1. Reactivate the use of the facility or transfer the facility to another provider who makes actual use of the
facility; or
2. In the event that abandonment as defined in this chapter occurs due to relocation of an antenna at a lower
point on the antenna support structure, reduction in the effective radiated power of the antenna or reduction in
the number of transmissions from the antennas, the operator of the tower shall have six months from the date of
effective abandonment to co -locate another service on the tower. If another service provider is not added to the
tower, then the operator shall promptly dismantle and remove the portion of the tower that exceeds the
minimum height required to function satisfactorily. Notwithstanding the foregoing, changes which are made to
pew, f.wireless facilities which do not diminish their essential role in providing a total system shall not
constitute abandonment. However, in the event that there is a physical reduction in height of substantially all of
the provider's towers in the city or surrounding area then all of the towers within the city shall similarly be
reduced in heightL-
3. Dismantle and Remove Facility. If the tower, antenna, foundation, and facility are not removed within the
sixty-day time period or additional period of time allowed by the city, the city may remove such tower,
antenna, foundation, and related facility at the provider's expense. If there are two or more providers co -
locating on a facility, except as provided for in subsection (A)(2) of this section, this provision shall not
become effective until all providers cease using the facility,

(Ord. 2016-029 § 1 (Exh. A) (part), 2016: Ord. 2013-051 § 2 (Exh. A) (part), 2013).
15.29.170 Vacation of permits.
A. Any permit issued pursuant to this chapter may be vacated upon approval by the current landowner; provided,
that:
1. The use authorized by the permit does not exist and is not actively being pursued; or
2. The use has been terminated and no violation of terms and conditions of the permit exists.
B. Requests to vacate a permit shall be made in writing to the zoning code administrator who shall determine if the
above conditions are present prior to authorizing the vacation. Vacation of any permit shall be documented by the
filing of a notice of land use permit vacation on a form provided by the community development department with
the city. (Ord. 2016-029 § 1 (Exh. A) (part), 2016: Ord. 2013-051 § 2 (Exh. A) (part), 2013).

FACILITIES
Page 304/315
violation of the provisions of this chapter, and any installation and/or operation of any structure in violation of the
provisions of this chapter, shall be deemed a public nuisance and violation subject to penalties and remedies
available under state law and city codes. The enforcement actions authorized under this code shall be supplemental
to those general penalties and remedies of Chapter 6.02 YMC and the public nuisance penalties and remedies
available under state law and city codes. (Ord. 2016-029 § 1 (Exh. A) (part), 2016: Ord. 2013-051 § 2 (Exh. A)
(part), 2013).
15.29.190 Relief, waiver, exemption.
Any applicant desiring relief, waiver or exemption from any aspect or requirement of this chapter may request such,
pursuant to and in compliance with the applicable provision on general variances as contained in Chapter 15.21
YMC; provided, that the relief or exemption is contained in the submitted application for permit or, in the case of an
existing or previously granted permit, a request for modification of its tower and/or facilities. Such relief may be
temporary or permanent, partial or complete. No such relief or exemption shall be approved unless the applicant
demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that, if granted, the relief, waiver or exemption will have no
significant effect on the health, safety and welfare of the city, its residents and other service providers. (Ord. 2016-
029 § 1 (Exh. A) (part), 2016: Ord. 2013-051 § 2 (Exh. A) (part), 2013).
15.29.200 Severability.
a. If any word, phrase, sentence, part, section, subsection, or other portion of this chapter or any application
thereof to any person or circumstance is declared void, unconstitutional, or invalid for any reason, then such word,
phrase, sentence, part, section, subsection, or other portion, or the proscribed application thereof, shall be severable,
and the remaining provisions of this chapter, and all applications thereof, not having been declared void,
unconstitutional, or invalid shall remain in full force and effect.
b. Any permit issued under this chapter shall be comprehensive and not severable. If part of a permit is deemed or
ruled to be invalid or unenforceable in any material respect by a competent authority, or is overturned by a
competent authority, the permit shall be void in total, upon determination by the city. (Ord. 2016-029 § 1 (Exh. A)

RECEIVED
JUL 15 2019
CITY OF YAKIMA
PLANNING DIV
We have reviewed the proposed municipal code changes regarding wireless communication
facilities and have the following comments.
As a public safety agency, WSDOT assists with the response to emergencies in which life and
property are threatened. Some communications facilities operate at frequencies that interfere with
our radio system. Because of this, there is the potential for reception problems for our mobiles
operating in those areas.
To prevent potential interference between the two systems, we suggest adding development
standards to require subsequent proponents of new facilities or co -location near (within 500 feet)
the Interstate 82, US Highway 12 and State Route 24 corridors to complete cooperative testing with
the WSDOT to identify any problems that may be corrected through the installation of specific
protective or interference devices. The applicants should contact Walt Hoffman of the WSDOT -
South Central Region Office at (509) 577-1980 to discuss any potential interference and coordinate
any testing.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this proposal. If you have any questions
regarding our comments, please contact John Gruber at (509) 577-1636.
Sincerely,

regulate height of stealth towers in relation to the surrounding trees; and 3) What happens in the
instance that the surrounding trees grow past the height of the stealth tower.
Commission had consensus regarding the following items: 1) have staff update the draft code to
strike "personal' from the term "personal wireless service facility" throughout the chapter; 2) direct
staff to create a report of cell tower applications received since the implementation of the Wireless
Communications Facilities ordinance in 2013 (YMC Ch. 15.29); and 3) have staff research the
stealth tower height limits of nearby jurisdictions.
Affordable Housing
Audience Partici ation:
Bob Schroeter of Central Washington Home Builders Association spoke on several points relating
to this topic.
Calhoun provided a report with updated draft code language in response to discussion at previous
Commission meetings.
The Commission had consensus on the following items: 1) have staff update the draft language
to change the term "dwelling, multiple -family" as defined in YMC Ch. 15.02 Definitions to "multi-
-1-
family development;" 2) have staff schedule a study session with the Central Washington Home
Builders Association (and potentially other interested parties) on affordable housing; and 3) have
staff update the draft to change YMC Ch. 15.19 Nonconforming Uses, Structures and Critical
Areas to include language allowing nonconforming single-family dwellings and duplexes to
expand beyond 50% of the existing building area if lot coverage and setback standards are met.
Additional items on the topic of affordable housing will be brought forth and discussed at future
Planning Commission meetings.
Other Business — Brief discussion ensued regarding the Greenway Master Plan. Calhoun
clarified that the Greenway Master Plan is adopted by reference in the Yakima Municipal Code

system the Planning Division uses to ensure that land use proposals within the overlay go through
the appropriate level of review in accordance with .the Yakima Municipal Code and Greenway
Master Plan.

Communication Facilities for the inclusion of language on small cell wireless facilities.
Discussion took place on the levels of review proposed for small cell wireless facilities and
design standards imposed in YMC 15.29.070. The Commission requested that staff seek a
possible alternative to requiring Hearing Examiner review for new small cell wireless facilities on
new utility poles within 300 feet of a protected area (as defined by Ch. 15.29) to help reduce
cost and processing time.
Suggested changes to Ch. 15.29 received in writing from industry representatives were

to review the industry representatives' suggested changes to the code, and for staff to review
and provide feedback at a future meeting on the industry representatives' suggestions. The
Commission invited the industry representatives to return for future study sessions and
requested staff to invite the representatives to the public hearing that will be scheduled at a later
-1-
time. The possibility of holding separate text amendment public hearings for separate
topics/areas of the code was discussed and will be determined down the line.
Senior Assistant City Attorney Sara Watkins stated that she will review the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) order so it can be clarified what bearing the shot clocks
established therein will have on the city's permitting and appeal procedures.

Subject: RE: City of Yakima Wireless
Joseph,
Since WSDOT submitted our comments on the proposed wireless facility code which were generally based on past
interference issues experienced with companies operating on the same band as public safety, we have re -reviewed and
revised our practices and policies and want to revise our initial comments. Below is the recommended language to
incorporate into the proposed code update as WSDOT believes that generally, additional coordination with
state/city/county communications is sufficient regardless of location and proximity to a state highway.
Any new facilities proposed shell provide to WSDOT and local public safety agencies contact
information including their local field engineer/technicians, proposed operating frequencies and tura®
on date. Proponents agree to cooperative testing and reasonable efforts to mitigate interference as
required such as the addition of protective devices andlor filters, as needed. A copy of the completed
testing, including any required WSDOT conditions, shell be provided to the Planning Division.
Thank you for your outreach and consideration. Please let us know if you have any questions.

I received your comment on our proposed changes to i'MC Ch. 15.29. Please see the draft language below which would
be put into our development standards, and let me know if that is satisfactory:
H. Facilities within 500 -feet of Interstate 82, US Highway 12, and State Route 24. Any new facilities proposed in
these areas shall complete cooperative testing with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to
identify any problems that may be corrected though the installation of specific protective or interference devices. A copy
of the completed testing, including any required WSDOT conditions, shall be provided to the Planning Division.

Re: Yakima Wireless Code Update -Planning Commission Meeting 7-24-2019
Dear Chair Byers and Commissioners -
On behalf of Verizon Wireless, thank you for the opportunity to comment. We
appreciate the work that the city is now doing to comply with the recent FCC Order,
"Accelerating Wireless Broadband Deployment by Removing Barriers to Infrastructure
Investment, Declaratory Ruling and Third Report and Order (September 26, 2018)"
which contains extensive new requirements for regulating small wireless facilities in the
right of way. Staff has been very responsive in addressing other technical and logistical
issues during the planning commission process, especially in the area of small wireless
technology.
Verizon supports the direction of the draft code, as presented, with a few remaining
issues:
• Section 15.29.060(H) requires cooperative testing with the Washington
Department of Transportation for potential interference and to submit proof of
such testing to the Planning Department. Both the city and the state lack the
kim.allen@wirelesspolicy.com t 425.628.2666
www.wirelesspolicy.com f 206.219.6717
July 24, 2019
Page 2
authority to regulate radio frequency interference. The Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC') has the exclusive authority to regulate radio frequency
interference ("RFI"), and local regulations that require a wireless applicant to
demonstrate that its facilities will not cause RFI are preempted by federal law, as
are conditions of project approval requiring remediation of any resulting RFI.
New York SMSA Limited Partnership v. Town of Clarkstown. 612 F.3d 97. 105
(2nd Cir. 2010).
• The definition of "tower" could arguably be applied to new poles constructed to
support small wireless facilities. Verizon requests that language be added to
clarify that new support structures for small wireless facilities are not considered
towers.
• Section 15.29.130A(1) states that a computer generated "zone of visibility" map
for new towers may be required to show within a one mile radius where the
tower can be seen. To date, there is no software available to create such a map
and no recognized consultants that can assist. Verizon requests that this section
be deleted.
Thank you for the chance to comment and we appreciate the opportunity to work with
the City to develop a FCC compliant code that preserves the look and feel of your
community, while providing an efficient and workable process to deliver the quality
service your residents, visitors and businesses have come to expect.
Sincerely,
Kim Allen, Senior Vice President
Wireless Policy Group, LLC on behalf of Verizon Wireless
