WHEREAS, as a result of its hearing the City Council hereby
' makes its following findings and conclusions:
FINDINGS:
1. The subject property consists of two abutting lots,
currently zoned R-3, Multiple-Family Zone, with a
house existing on each lot.

request is to convert an existing dwelling at 310
North 5th Avenue to an art supply store.
3. Land use and zoning on adjacent properties are as
follows:
Zoning Land Use
NORTH R-3 Single Family Residential
SOUTH B-3 Commercial (Service Station)
EAST B-3 Professional - Dept. of Social &
41O Health Services
WEST R-3 Single Family Residential
4. The General Plan for the City of Yakima indicates that
the site is best suited for low-medium density resi-
dential (6-12 DU/NRA).
5. North 5th Avenue, the street on which the property
fronts, is designated as a major arterial on, the
City Arterial Street Plan.
6. Offstreet parking for motor vehicles will be provided
on the subject property, and onstreet parking is
available on 5th Avenue.
7. The Yakima City Planning Commission, in public'ffie
insg and after a public hearing on March 3, 1981, -
recommended approval of the rezone request:, -
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Although the request does not conform to the General
Plan, the southerly one-third of the block is presently
zoned B-3 and occupied by commercial uses. Given the
presence of B-3 zoning northerly to West "D" Street
on adjacent blocks to the east and west, it appears that
West "D" Street is a logical and reasonable northerly
boundary for commercial uses in this area.
2. The recommendation of the Planning Commission to --
grant the rezone should be affirmed and the rezone
should be granted.
Vow, therefore,
