WHEREAS, pursuant to due and legal notice, the City Council of the City of Yakima held a hearing on the 25th day of Septem- ber, 1979, unon the recommendation of the Planning Commission that real property situate at 1406 Summitview Aenue in the City of Yakima, Washington, the legal description of which is set out hereinbelow, be rezoned from R-3, Multiple-ramily Zone, to Planned Development Zone, and WHEREAS, as a result of its hearing, the City Council hereby makes its following findings and conclusions: FINDINGS: 1. The subject property is presently improved with green- houses and a floral shop which have existed for many years and which constitute nonconforming uses on the currently zoned R-3, Multiple-Family Zone parcel. The development plan for the property includes the removal of the existing greenhouses and a portion of the existing floral shop to ac- commodate construction of a new floral shop and greenhouses on the site. 2. Land use and zoning on adjacent properties is as follows: Zoning Land Use NORTH R-3 & B-1 Multi-family Res. & Prof. Offices SOUTH R-3 Comb. of Multi & Single Family Res. EAST R-3 Single Family Residential WEST R-3 Single Family Res. & Prof. Offices 3. Summitview Avenue, which runs adjacent to the northerly boundary of the subject parcel, is classified as a major arterial street. 4. The General Plan for the City of Yakima indicates the site as best suited for Low Medium Density Residential Use (6-12 DU/NRA). 5. The existing greenhouses on the property are in a dilapidated condition, open to unauthorized entry and subject to vandalism, resulting in broken glass strewn on the premises and on adjacent public rights of way, all of which constitute a potential or actual hazard to the occupants of the buildings and to the public, and it is in the best interests of the public to allow reconstruction of the premises to commence as soon as possible. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Although a business use of the site does not conform to the General Plan, the proposed redevelopment of the exist- ing business on the property in accordance with the development program will be compatible with other land uses in the vicinity. 2. The redevelopment will result in the removal of unsightly and unsafe structures and therefore have a positive visual impact. 3. The recommendation of the Planning Commission to grant the rezone subject to the conditions contained hereinbelow should be affirmed and the rezone should be granted. 41/ 4. The existing condition of the property hereinabove found to exist justifies the declaration of an emergency so as to make this ordinance immediately effective on its publication, as required by law and the Yakima City Charter. now, therefore, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF YAKIMA: Section 1.
