Neighborhood Council Committee: ® Report to Yakima City Council May, 1995 Committee Overview The citizen committee, composed of fourteen representatives from neighborhood organizations and the construction industries has held six meetings to review the tabled zoning amendments, as directed by City Council on December 13, 1994. This committee has been directed by three Council members. Mr Beauchamp, Mr Buchanan and Mr Berger Staff to the Committee has included the City Manager, Director of Community and Economic Development and Division Managers from Codes and Planning, along with other staff Although the Committee did not reach consensus on two of the six amendments, the remaining four amendments received unanimous recommendations. This report presents the recommendations of this committee on the amendments to the Urban Area Zoning Ordinance (UAZO) Where there was no consensus among the members of this committee, this report does not include a recommendation for action (Amendments 2 and 5) The discussions between the various interests represented on the Committee have ® been very productive in opening up lines of communication, and have resulted in some related areas of concern. The recent emphasis on Code Enforcement in these neighborhoods is directly related to these efforts. A recurrent issue discussed at these meetings has been the interest in a rezone of portions of the R -3 zoning located in the Northeast and North Central neighborhood areas. More discussion of this item is included at the end of this report. Necessary Council Actions On December 13, 1994 the Yakima County Commissioners and City Council, at a joint public meeting, deferred action on six of the proposed amendments to the Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance. At that time, this Committee was initiated to review these amendments and make recommendations. The Commissioners stated that these issues were more of an "urban" nature and requested that the City take the lead in the review of these issues. Pending the review of these recommendations, another joint County and City public hearing should be conducted to reconsider these Committee recommendations of the modified amendments. Each of the basic amendments have previously been reviewed by the Regional Planning Commission and by the Joint Board. Page 1 Neighborhood Council Report July 19, 1995 Recommendations for each Amendment • AMENDMENT 1: Proposed Amendment as Adopted by the RPC on 5/18/94: 15.05.020 (J) Sidewalk Requirement: Sidewalks are generally required along one side of the street, except arterial and collector streets, where sidewalks are required on both sides of the street. Any existing sidewalk shall be replaced. Neighborhood Council Committee Recommendationz Proposed language, based upon the Committee's consensus is as follows. New section would be added to the UAZO (page 57) 15.05.020 (J) Sidewalk Requirement: Sidewalks on one side of the street are required with new construction, (except single family structures) A sidewalk is required if one exists within 200 feet of the development on the same side of the street. Replacement of existing sidewalk is required only if existing sidewalk presents a safety hazard. • Page 2 Neighborhood Council Report July 19, 1995 • AMENDMENT 2: Proposed Amendment as Adopted by RPC on 5/18/94 New section would be added to UAZO (page 57) 15.05.020(K) Play yard Requirement: A play yard shall be required for all new residential development, except single family homes. The purpose of this area is to provide outdoor recreational area, primarily for children. A total of 225 square feet per bedroom (after the first bedroom per dwelling), up to 6 dwelling units, and 50 square feet for every second bedroom beyond 6, dwelling units, shall be developed and maintained as outdoor recreation and indicated as such on a general site plan . This area will have a minimum width of 15 feet on any side and will be designed to be functional and compatible with the neighborhood. Neighborhood Council Committee Options: There was no consensus during the discussion of this item by the committee. • • Page 3 Neighborhood Council Report July 19, 1995 • AMENDMENT 3: Proposed Amendment as Adopted by RPC on 5/18/942 Create combined entry Table 4-1 (page 43)• Land Use SR R1 R2 R3 B1 CBD SCC/ B2 CBDS, LCC, Multi- family * or PRD *(0-7 DU /NRA) 3 3 2 1 2 2 2 (8- 12DU /NRA) 3 1 2 2 2 (13+ DU /NRA) 3 1 2 2 2 Neighborhood Council Committee: The Committee recommends this proposed amendment be deleted from consideration. III • Page 4 Neighborhood Council Report July 19, 1995 1 • AMENDMENT 4: Proposed Amendment as Adopted by the RPC on 5/18/94: (a) Require Class 2 Review for the conversion of a single family house to a multi- family dwelling. Modify Table 4-1 to add new entry to UAZO (page 43) Table 4 -1, Permitted Land Use RESIDENTIAL SR R1 R2 R3 Converted Dwelling* 2 2 2 2 (b) Add new definition (page 12), Definitions 15.02.020: Converted Dwelling means a structure which, due to alterations, has been modified to increase the number of individual dwelling units. This definition does not apply to multi - family structures constructed under the provisions of this title. Neighborhood Council Committee Recommendation: Adopt the RPC recommendation. This would require Class 2 Review for the conversion of a structure to multiple dwellings. • In a related issue, the Washington State GMA requires Cities to adopt provisions for "Accessory Dwelling Units" These are typically the "mother -in -law units" or other such developments which add one dwelling to a single family home or lot. The City of Yakima will be reviewing a model Accessory Housing Unit published by the State later this year, in compliance with GMA. • Page 5 Neighborhood Council Report July 19, 1995 r AMENDMENT 5: • Proposed Amendment as Adopted by the RPC on 5/18/94 Modify Table 5-1 (page 60) DESIGN REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS, (add new line) Side Setback SR R1 R2 R3 Property line for structure 8 8 8 8 of 2 or more stories, except SF Neighborhood Council Committee Recommendation: There was no consensus on this item by the Committee. 0 0 Page 6 Neighborhood Council Report July 19, 1995 • AMENDMENT 6: Proposed Amendment as Adopted by RPC on 5/18/94: Modify Table 6-1, Table of Required Off - Street Parking Standards (15.06.040A) RESIDENTIAL PARKING STANDARD Multi - Family dwellings 2 spaces for each dwelling unit (delete references to other unit breakdowns) Neighborhood Council Committee Recommendation: The Committee recommends that the RPC amendment be modified, to require 2 parking spaces for all structures which have ten (10) dwellings or less. For structures with more than ten dwellings, the requirement would be 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling. It was generally agreed that for the larger MF developments the existing 1.5 spaces per unit is adequate. The biggest concern is for the developments in the 3 to 10 unit range. Examples of this standard include. 9 unit structure: 18 parking spaces 10 unit structure: 20 parking spaces IP 11 unit structure: 16.5 spaces, 17 spaces would be required (YMC 15 06.050) 12 unit structure: 18 spaces required 13 unit structure: 19.5 spaces, 20 spaces required • Page 7 Neighborhood Council Report July 19, 1995 Related Issue for Future City Council Consideration O This Neighborhood Council Committee has discussed some very significant and relevant topics Many of these are outside the immediate charge of this committee. The Committee recommends the City Council consider for future study the following. Rezone of Northeast and North Central neighborhood areas: Many of the neighborhood concerns which were discussed in this committee are directly related to the fact that we have areas which are in single family land use but zoned for R -3, Multi - Family Residential. This could be changed by careful review of the existing land uses to identify block areas which are not appropriately zoned. Some of these areas may be more appropriate for R -2 or R -1 zoning. Rezone of the areas which are occupied by single family homes but zoned R -3 may solve some of the issues these zoning amendments seek to address. There was also some interest in looking at areas in the Southeast region of the City as well as the Northeast and North Central. The committee additionally recommends that if areas are rezoned from R -3 to either R -2 or R -1,new areas for R -3 land uses in other locations of the City and Urban Area must be idnetified. This will be important to off -set the loss of R -3 zoning and allow for new multi - family development. Other Discussion items: While the above concept is the recommendation of the committee, two other items of interest were discussed. • Evaluate Overlay District Concept: There was some interest in applying modified zoning standards to a selected area of the city City legal staff as well as other jurisdictions within Washington State indicate that the use of an overlay district (for this purpose) may not be legally defensible since it would impose different standards in a particular geographic area than other areas within the same zoning district. The development of an overlay district which could meet the legal test as well as the intended purpose of the neighborhood residents is not a simple process. Alternatively, a new, separate zoning category may be developed to apply to a limited geographic area. • Density Limits in the R -3 Zone: Many of the issues discussed deal specifically with problems in the R -3 zoning district. Some of these problems may be addressed by establishing a maximum dwelling units permitted per acres in the R -3 zoning district.
