WHEREAS, pursuant to due and legal notice, the City Council of the City of Yakima held a hearing on the 4th day of October, 1983, on the recommendation of the Planning Commission that real property situate at 50th and 51st Avenues between Summitview and Chestnut Avenues in the City of Yakima, Washington, the legal description of which is set out hereinbelow, be rezoned from R-1, One-Family to R-2, Two-Family Zone, and 411, WHEREAS, as a result of its hearing, the City Council hereby makes its following findings and conclusions: FINDINGS: * 1. Professional Investors Associates applied for a rezone from R-1 to R-2 and preliminary plat approval of approximately 19 acres located at 50th and 51st Avenues between Summitview and Chestnut Avenues. The purpose of this request is to allow the construction of duplexes on 54 proposed lots. The proposal is divided into 5 phases, each to be done separately and in numerical order. At the request of the Planning Commission with concurrence of the applicant, the proposal was scaled down to approximately 4 410 10 acres and 28 lots, covering the southern half of the site. 2. The subject area is presently zoned R-1 and is in agri- cultural production. The surrounding land use and zoning is as follows: ZONING LAND USE North R-1 (Single Family Residential) Single Family Residential South M-1 (Light Industrial) Business Office JD R-2 (Two Family Residential) Duplexes East R-4 (Suburban Residence) Orchard West R-1 (Single Family Residential) Single Family M-1 (Light Industrial) Mini-Storage 3. The Urban Area Plan indicates that this proposal is III generally compatible with the surrounding properties. However, the plan indicates that this proposal is not compatible with the M-1 property to the south and R-4 Property to the east. Summitview Avenue is designated as a major arterial and a truck route. 4. The average lot size for the proposed subdivision is approximately 12,500 square feet with lots ranging from approx- imately 10,000 to 14,800 square feet. This is well within the minimum requirement for the R-2 minimum lot size of 8,000 square feet. 41 11/ 5. The proposed density is 6.33 DU/NRA. 6. At the September 6, 1983, Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission recommended that the proposal be scaled down to include only the first three phases. Based on this, the Commission recommended that the request for rezone from R-1 to R-2 be granted and that the preliminary plat be approved subject to certain conditions as set out on Resolution No. of the Yakima City Council, approving that preliminary plat, adopted 411 simultaneously-with the enactment of this ordinance. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Although the Urban Area Plan indicates that this proposal is not compatible with the 14-1 zone, this proposal does not repre- sent an increased impact upon that zone. Furthermore, the R-4 property is not expected to develop at its current 1 DU/acre designation, therefore making this proposal compatible. 2. The recommendation of the Planning Commission to grant the rezone should be affirmed, and the rezone should be granted, now, therefore, 411 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF YAKIMA: Section 1.
