AN ORDINANCE accepting the recommendation of the Planning Com-
mission and rezoning property on 24th Avenue,
adjacent to Wide Hollow Creek, from R-3, Multiple-
Family Zone, to M-4, Planned Industrial Zone.
WHEREAS, pursuant to due and legal notice, the City Council
of the City of Yakima held a hearing on the 22nd day of January,
1980, upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission that
real property situate on 24th Avenue, adjacent to Wide Hollow
Creek, in the City of Yakima, Washington, the legal description
of which is set out hereinbelow, be rezoned from R-3, Multiple-
Family Zone, to M-4, Planned Industrial Zone, and
WHEREAS, as a result of its hearing, the City Council here-
by makes its following findings and conclusions:
FINDINGS:
1. The subject property was rezoned from R-2, Two-Family
Zone, to its existing R-3, Multiple-Family Zone, in early
1979 for the purpose of constructing a convalescent home,
the plans for which have since been abandoned.
2. The property consists of 4.28 acres, and is presently
improved with one single family dwelling only.
3. Land use and zoning on adjacent properties is as
111 follows:
Zoning Land Use
North R-2 Tahoma Cemetery
South M-4 _Agriculture
East R-2 Tahoma Cemetery
West M-1 and R-3 Light Industrial and Single
Family Residential
4. The General Plan for the City of Yakima indicates
that the area is best suited for cemetery expansion.
South 24th Avenue is indicated as a Secondary Arterial
411 Street.
5. Adequate sewer and water service is available in the
vicinity of the site, however, some difficulty may be
411 experienced due to the topography of the site and its loca-
tion adjacent to Wide Hollow Creek.
6. On January 2, 1980, the Yakima City Planning Commis-
sion recommended approval of the request.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Even though the General Plan indicates this area
to be best suited for cemetery expansion, the potential
use of the site for cemetery expansion is unlikely because 0
the topography of the site would require a substantial
fill.
2. The proposed use of the site and other uses permissible
in the M-4 zone are compatible with the cemetery and the
other industrial uses and zoning which are predominant in the
vicinity of the airport; the only inconsistency in the general
compatibility of uses and zoning in the area affecting this
request being the remaining R-3 property lying between the
rezone site and South 24th Avenue. However, the R-3 property
is not presently developed to an R-3 use and is itself the
cause of any potential incompatibility rather than the requested
rezone.
3. The recommendation of the Planning Commission to grant
the rezone should be affirmed.
Now, therefore,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF YAKIMA:
Section 1. The recommendation of the Planning Commission
of the City of Yakima that the following described real property 41
