Detention Facility. )
The Examiner conducted a public hearing on May 22, 1991. The
staff report presented by Mr. Dan Valoff recommended approval of
both alley vacations and approval of the special detention
facility, subject to a number of conditions. Yakima County Public
Works Director Daniel Hesse appeared on behalf of the County.
There was no opposition. The Examiner inspected the property prior
to the hearing, and reviewed the sally port in the company of Jail
Administrator Mike Schreiner and Dan Hesse.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION. The Examiner recommends vacating
both alley rights -of -way, and approving the jail.
From the view of the site, the matters contained in the
official record, including the staff report, a review of both the
Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan and the Yakima Urban Area
Zoning Ordinance, and from evidence received at the hearing, the
Examiner makes the following:
FINDINGS
1. Applicants. Board of Yakima County Commissioners.
2. Location. Southwest corner of North First Street and
East "B" Street; Yakima County Assessor's Parcel Nos. 191319- 22414,
- 22415, - 22416, - 22418, and -22487 (jail).
The legal description for both blocks is:
Block 8 and Block 9 of Plat of the Town of
North Yakima, located in Section 19, Township
13 North, Range 19 E.W.M., records of Yakima
County, State of Washington.

HEARING EXAMINER
FOR THE
CRY AND COUNTY OF YAKIMA
POST OFFICE BOX 4
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON 96)907
(509) 248 -0706
3. Application. Master application for right -of -way
vacation and Class 3 review.
4. Proposed Use. Yakima County wants to build a 200 bed
special detention facility east of and connected to the existing
county jail. It would be located on the southwest corner of North
First and East "B" Streets. The facility will house minimum
security inmates, reducing the population at the jail, with a
possible net addition of about 100 inmates between the two
facilities.
Approximately 15 additional jail employees will be added, with
four employees during a maximum shift.
The new building will eliminate 40 to 45 of the approximately
400 parking spaces serving the Yakima County Courthouse and Health
District facilities. The County plans to make additional
improvements to the block north of "B" Street, adding more parking
in the future. The old Crest Linen site will probably become a
parking lot, but only after additional scheduled hazardous waste
analysis and removal or remediation if needed. This summer the
County plans to pave the additional area north of the courthouse
where the old county shops were removed, adding approximately 33
spaces.
In conjunction with the new jail, the County wants to vacate
the alley in the jail /Health District block, and in the block to
the north with the old Safeway building and Crest Linen site.
These are blocks which are part of the original plat of North
Yakima, with the alleys running from East Lincoln Avenue to East
"A" Street, between North Front Street and North First Street. The
County owns both blocks, and therefore all of the parcels adjacent
to the alleys.
Prior to receipt of the Class 3 application, the City had
received the right -of -way vacation application, which was
processed, with a hearing by the Examiner conducted April 9, 1991.
That hearing was continued and consolidated with the hearing on the
EXAMINER'S RECOMMENDATION - 2
HEARING EXAMINER

POST OFFICE BOX 4

Class 3 application, in order to have combined review of the entire
project. Although not designated on the application forms, the
City has treated this matter as a master application, and the
County agrees with that procedure.
The building is planned to be one story, with approximately
31,500 square feet. The project is currently out to bid to
architects for design, and therefore the exact configuration is not
known, although the specifications require a one story building
extending roughly from the sidewalk on "B" Street to just south of
the lobby entrance to the existing jail, and east to North First
Street. The lobby of the new building is located in the southwest
corner, near the lobby of the existing jail. A loading dock and
service bay is located on the north side of the building across
from the lobby, in the area of the existing sally port on the north
end of the existing jail. The sally port is the garage door
opening on both sides of the building on the north end of the
existing jail, utilized for service deliveries.
The purpose of the alley vacations is to allow design and
redevelopment flexibility in the future. Utility easements will
continue to exist within the current alleys and all utility and
access requirements will be met.
Reduced copies of the layout of both blocks, showing the
alleys, the layout of the jail block showing the new facility
superimposed on the existing block, the interior layout of the new
facility, and its elevations, are attached as Exhibit "A,"
consisting of six pages.
5. Current Zoning and Use. This property is located in the
Central Business District (CBD) zoning district. The site is
surrounded by other Yakima County government facilities including
the county courthouse, county morgue, vehicle parking /storage lots,
and two small office buildings. The Yakima Health District office
building and clinic is also adjacent to the site. Adjacent
properties have the following characteristics.

6. Public Use of the Right -of -Way. The rights -of -way are
currently paved. The jail block alley is used by the public and
service vehicles to access the existing jail and the visitor
parking lot. The Health District parking on that block has
separate driveway approaches from both North First Street and East
"A" Street. A number of underground and overhead utilities are
located in both alley rights -of -way.
7. Criteria for Right -of -Way Vacation. City policy
identifies five criteria for consideration:
7.1 Public Benefit. These alleys currently provide
parking access for employees and visitors, and emergency vehicle
access. With respect to the existing jail, the fire access to the
building is at the north and south ends, in the open stairwells.
The hydrants and building standpipes are located on Front Street.
Written comments in the file indicate that the fire department
apparently uses both alleys if they need to get a fire truck from
their fire station on North First Street to the jail. The logic of
that is not immediately apparent, since it means that fire trucks
are crossing arterials mid - block, fighting traffic, when they are
equipped to trigger the traffic signals which exist on North First
Street. If the new jail is built over the alley in the jail block,
it simply means that fire trucks come down North First, look at the
Health District building, and then turn on "A" Street and go to the
south end of the building. Access will be available mid -block on
North First Street, just north of the Health District, and mid -
block, at the existing alley location, on the south side of the
block on "A" Street.
The public benefit from vacating the alleys allows
construction of the new jail in a way which consolidates
deliveries, consolidates visitor access, and minimizes the need for
EXAMINER'S DECISION - 4
HEARING EXAMINER
FOR THE
CITY AND COUNTY OF YAKIMA
POST OFFICE BOX 4
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON 98907

additional staff and management.
Vacating the alley in the old Safeway /Crest Linen block
removes a possible impediment to future possible construction of
additional government facilities, such as a law and justice
building. Easements for utilities will be retained, and any future
development will be reviewed for compliance with traffic and
emergency services access.
Because these blocks are owned by one entity, there is no
public benefit to retaining the alleys so long as utility easements
are retained.
7.2 Denial of Access. This vacation request does not
deny sole access to any property.
7.3 Consistency with Transportation Plans. There are no
planned improvements to these alleys. The Six -Year Road Plan does
identify street improvement projects scheduled for Lincoln Avenue
and East "B" Street, adjacent to these alleys. Those improvement
projects will not be affected by this vacation, which is consistent
with both the Six -Year Road Plan and all relevant City plans and
policies.
7.4 Consistency with Existing and Anticipated
Development and Zoning. This area is zoned and developed as part
of the City's Central Business District. The CBD plan adopted by
the City identifies this area as being located in the government
center district, which includes the courthouse, city hall, and
nearby educational buildings. The existing and anticipated use of
these blocks for municipal facilities, and public and employee
parking, is consistent with current and projected zoning and
development.
7.5 Relocation of Utilities. A 20 foot easement for
utilities, down both alleys, will be retained by the City. City
water and irrigation departments have no problem with this
vacation. The sewer line in the alley services only County
facilities and is the end of the line. That portion of the line in
the alley will be abandoned to the County, which will then own and
be responsible for maintenance of the line located in the block

CITY AND COUNTY OF YAKIMA

which services the jail. Cascade Natural Gas will probably abandon
the existing line under the new structure, which they indicate is
not a problem. The gas line already runs around the perimeter of
the southern half of the block. Abandoning that line to be covered
by the new building will not affect gas distribution in the area.
Pacific Power and Light will continue to have lines down both
alleys. The County plans to underground the lines in the vicinity
of the new jail, but otherwise the lines will remain overhead.
Phone lines will also be underground under the new building.
All utilities have been provided for, and any required
relocation will be taken care of at County expense. Vehicular
access will be provided as reflected on the site plan and described
herein, with any required fire hydrants located per City Fire
Marshal specifications.
8. Compensation. City Resolution No. D -5630 details the
compensation policy. Government entities are exempt from payment,
so the City will not receive any compensation for vacation of the
alleys.
9. Traffic Study. A traffic study was not required by the
City Planning Department.
10. Class 3 Review.
10.1 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. One of the
purposes of the plan is to see that future development is
compatible with existing uses. Compatibility and development
criteria are to be reviewed and determined on a case -by -case basis.
The City's intent for the downtown area, as reflected in its
Downtown Futures Plan, indicates that there is a substantial area
downtown designated as government. This proposal is consistent
with the comprehensive plan. Compatibility issues and special
concerns will be dealt with relative to the zoning ordinance,
considered below.
10.2 Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance. The purpose of
the Central Business District zone is to preserve the CBD as the
region's center of commerce, industry, recreation, and culture.
The District is characterized by very intensive development and a
EXAMINER'S DECISION - 6
HEARING EXAMINER

CTTY AND COUNTY OF YAKIMA

(509) 248 -0706
variety of land uses, including government offices. Detention
centers are a Class 3 use in the CBD zone. (YMC Ch.15.04, Table
4 -1.)
Since the right -of -way request and the Class 3 request are
being treated by stipulation as a master application, the
Examiner's decision on the Class 3 aspect is also treated as a
recommendation, going to the Council with the right -of -way vacation
recommendation for Council decision. If handled under separate
applications the Class 3 application would have been a final
decision by the Examiner, appealable to the Council.
10.3 Development Criteria. This project complies with
all of the ordinance requirements. No adjustments to development
standards have been requested. The building will comply with the
required 40 foot setback from the center line off arterials for
Lincoln, and 30 feet from the center line for North First, with a
zero lot line setback for the rear, next to the Health District.
The zone allows 100 percent lot coverage. This proposal leaves a
strip of open area along the sidewalk on "B" Street and North First
street, which will be landscaped with grass consistent with the
existing jail. There are no sitescreening requirements in this
area, but the existing jail block has been previously landscaped,
except for this area, with trees in sidewalk wells, which is also
consistent with the street tree landscaping for the Courthouse
directly east. Although not proposed in the site plan, there is no
serious objection by the County to a requirement that street trees
be planted consistent with the existing landscaping for the Health
District building and jail. The major concern the County has is
that any landscaping not interfere with security, meaning that
shrubbery adjacent to the building is not appropriate.
With respect to parking, this block is located in the
downtown business district and therefore exempt from parking. In
some instances it may be appropriate, in considering compatibility,
to require parking in the downtown area, but in this instance it is
not necessary to decide that point. A public parking lot exists
diagonally to the Health District, on the southeast corner of the
EXAMINER'S DECISION - 7
HEARING EXAMINER
FOR THE
CITY AND COUNTY OF YAKIMA
POST OFFICE BOX 4
YAKIMA. WASHINGTON 98907
(509) 248-0706
intersection of North First Street and "A" Street. In addition,
there are approximately 360 parking spaces serving the Courthouse
and Health District facilities, with new parking planned for this
summer in the vicinity of the old county shops directly north of
the Courthouse. The old Crest Linen site will eventually be
developed as parking, but is currently undergoing assessment work
for hazardous wastes. Once that problem is resolved that area will
be redeveloped by the County. There are no specific future plans
for development on the Safeway /Crest Linen block, but it is likely
that another government structure will be built there in the
reasonably near future, at which time all of these issues will be
subject to review again.
The Health District submitted comments reflecting
significant concern about the design of the jail and its impact
upon their available parking. The Health District has recently
committed itself to provide a pediatric clinic, but has made no
attempt to deal with any parking problems generated by the clinic.
By comparison, it is probable that the clinic will generate more of
a parking problem than the new jail, since by design not too many
people are supposed to be leaving that sort of facility.
The Health District will retain its two rows of diagonal
parking on the west side of its building. They will also retain
two rows of diagonal parking on the north side of the building, but
that area's driveway access to North First Street will probably be
widened to some extent to accommodate emergency access and better
traffic flow. The existing alley on the south half of the jail
block will in effect remain, with the alley curb cut on "A" Street
moved west 20 feet to maintain the proper distance between the
Health District driveway and the alley driveway, pursuant to normal
City requirements. Although not reflected on the site plan there
is a possibility that additional parking will be available on both
sides of the current alley. The parking adjacent to the jail, on
the west side of the alley, is inset a considerable distance,
leaving the possibility of additional spaces on the east side of
the current alley. The area near the lobby entrance of the new

POST OFFICE BOX 4
YAKIMA. WASHINGTON 96907
(509) 248-0706
jail will be redesigned to provide proper radiuses for turning
vehicles, including fire trucks.
There are considerable advantages to building this jail
next to the existing jail, but it does carry with it the need to
accommodate some of the existing jail's idiosyncracies. The major
problem is the loading area on the north side of the block, where
the alley currently is. At that location is the trash compactor
serving the jail, which will also serve this facility. The
compactor is on a pad and connected to the sally port that cuts
through the north end of the jail, from east to west. That is a
loading area servicing the kitchen and laundry and janitorial needs
of the existing jail building. The kitchen of the existing jail is
located in the northeast corner of the jail. Food will be moved
from that kitchen into the new facility, apparently by use of the
sally port and service area.
Some considerable questioning at the hearing results in
the conclusion that the jail has on average one or fewer service
vehicle deliveries per day. Twice a week the jail receives a food
shipment, and the rest of the week miscellaneous deliveries of
janitorial and related supplies. About every ten days the trash
compactor is emptied.
As a result of this review, it was discovered that the
trash compactor was basically installed backwards. In order to be
removed it currently has to be pulled out, turned around, and then
mounted on the truck, requiring some considerable maneuvering which
now occurs in the alley. What needs to happen is to have the
loading chute into the trash compactor transferred to the other
side, so that the front of the compactor can face east instead of
west. County Public Works is already taking care of that problem.
This will mean that the garbage truck can back up to it and load it
without a lot of additional maneuvering.
The other event that requires maneuvering is the food
truck twice a week. It is typically a short wheel base single axle
semi, which currently uses the alley. The proposed loading area is
not large enough to provide turn-around space. County Public Works
EXAMINER'S DECISION - 9
HEARING EXAMINER
FOR THE
CITY AND COUNTY OF YAKIMA
POST OFFICE BOX 4
YAKIMA. WASHINGTON 99907

proposes two possible alternate solutions. The existing sally port
doors are not high enough to allow a vehicle of that type to drive
through. With the loss of the alley, some provision has to be made
for a turn - around. One approach proposed by Mr. Hesse is to have
two curb cuts on "B" Street. The westerly curb cut would be
located in the vicinity of the west end of the trash compactor and
would allow an eastbound truck to make a right turn in near the
loading door, and then exit, on a right turn out a bit east of the
existing alley curb cut. This would entail two curb cuts fairly
close together on an arterial, but they would be right turn in,
right turn out, which presents little disruption of arterial
traffic, while getting the truck off the street.
The other alternative is to widen or relocate the
northerly curb cut on North Front Street somewhat to the south, and
create a diagonal driveway cutting across the corner of the block,
with an exiting curb cut onto East "B" Street near the middle of
the old jail. The truck would then pull in from North Front Street
and utilize the north sally port for unloading supplies.
The trash compactor could be moved to the west side of
the building, in a mirror image of its existing location. That
would take a new concrete pad, and other than a hole in the
building would not require any internal modifications other than
replumbing the hydraulics. It is premature, without a final site
plan, to determine if the compactor should be moved.
The existing waste grease tank currently sitting at curb side
near the alley will have to disappear in order to provide
maneuvering space near the east sally port. For aesthetic reasons
it should permanently disappear or be permanently hidden.
All unused curb cuts will be closed and all new curb cuts
will be constructed pursuant to City specifications.
11. Environmental Review. With respect to the Class 3
application, Yakima County was lead agency and issued a threshold
Determination of Non- significance on May 6, 1991. The 15 day
comment period ended May 21, with no comments having been received.
Street vacations are categorically exempt from SEPA review.
