NO WHEREAS, pursuant to due and legal notice the City Council
of the City of Yakima held a hearing on the 3rd day of January,
1984, upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission that
real property situate at 505 North 40th Avenue in the City of
Yakima, Washington the legal description of which is set out
hereinbelow, be rezoned from R-1, One-Family Zone to R-3,
Multiple-Family Zone, and
WHEREAS, as a result of its hearing, the City Council hereby
4110 makes its following findings and conclusions:
FINDINGS:
1. Mr. H. Norman Hyatt, Crescent Convalescent Center, has
submitted an application for a rezone from R-1, One-Family Zone,
to R-3, Multiple-Family Zone for property located at 505 North
40th Avenue. The Crescent Convalescent Center property is
presently split by a zoning district boundary. The westerly
portion of the property is appropriately zoned R-3, Multiple-
Family Zone while the easterly portion (rezone site) is zoned
R-1, One-Family Zone as a result of an annexation which occurred
4110 in 1967. The rezone, if granted, would enable the applicant to
apply for a Special Property Use Permit for a proposed expansion
of the convalescent facility on the rezone site Chapter 12.52
of the City Zoning Code requires the issuance of a Special
Property Use Permit for establishment or expansion of a con-
valescent home and specifically excludes this use from the R-1,
One-Family Zone and R-2, Two-Family Zones.

2. The rezone site is already occupied by a wing of the
convalescent center, a small shop/maintenance building, and
parking. Land use and zoning on adjacent properties is as
follows:
Zoning Land Use
NORTH. R-1 City Water Reservoir
SOUTH , R-1 Single Family Residential
EAST PD Yakima Tennis Club
WEST R-3 Crescent Convalescent
4
3. A convalescent center-is best categorized as High Density
Residential as regards to use and development intensity. The
Optimal Land Use element of the Plan states that High, Density
Residential may locate adjacent to Low Density Residential uses
provided compatibility can be demonstrated.
4. The location of th.e site and the specific adjacent uses
establishes the compatibility of this request and, therefore,
achieves conformance with the Urban Area Plan. The requested
zoning and proposed development is compatible with the water
reservoir site to the north and th.e Tennis Club to the east.
The single-family development to the south is buffered by a
private driveway, canal, and existing vegetative barrier.
411/ 5. The Special Property Use Permit hearing will provide
the public an opportunity to .identify and address any specific
compatibility problems associated with the proposed plan of
development.
6. Crescent Convalescent already occupies the site and
no other use of the property could reasonably be expected.
7. On December 6, 1983, the City Planning Commission
recommended approval of the rezone.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The recommendation of the Planning Commission to grant
4110 the rezone should be affirmed, and the rezone should be granted,
now, therefore,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF YAKIMA:
