Public Hearmg and Commission discussions were conducted by the RPC on said requests on June 27, 2005 and July 13, 2005 The RPC concluded its consideration of these three applications on August 10, 2005 Now therefore, the Yakima Urban Area Regional Planning Commission presents the following findings and recommendations to the Board of Yakima County Commissioners and Yakima City Council: SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION FOR CPA # 1 -05 APPLICANT: United Builders LOCATION. 101 N Naches Avenue PARCEL NO: APN #191319 -21482 DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The applicant requests a change m the Future Land Use Map from Professional Office to CBD Core Commercial. Future zoning would be Central Business District (CBD), if the amendment is approved. 2005 Regional Planning Commission 1 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Recommendations DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The applicant requests a change in the Future Land Use Map from Professional Office to CBD Core Commercial. Future zoning would be Central Business Distnct (CBD), if the amendment is approved. This property contains the building that was until recently the Christian Science Church. It recently underwent a Class (3) review and was approved for a restaurant and uses accessory thereto FINDINGS: The subject property is adjacent to CBD Core Commercial property and the requested land use change will not have any significant affect on adjoining properties. The residential/commercial buffer currently provided by the Professional Office land use designation will not be affected. Adaptive reuse of the existing church property would not cause higher intensity commercial uses to abut residential uses. The Comprehensive Plan mdicates that the downtown area is to be the regional center for commerce and cultural land uses. The granting of this request would fulfill a major objective of the existmg Comprehensive Plan without conflicting with other goals and policies. Approval of this request will not affect the cumulative impacts of other Comprehensive Plan applications. RPC CONCLUSIONS: The amendment is minor in nature. No adverse impacts have been identified by tills amendment request. The amended land use boundaries would be a logical extension of existing commercial boundaries. MOTION Based upon the analysis, findings and conclusions outlined above, it was moved and seconded that the Regional Planning Commission recommend APPROVAL of the amendment request from Professional Office to CB Core Commercial. The motion carried unanimously hn Hodkinson, Acting 'i . e-1 7 Date • egional Planning Commission 2005 Regional Planning Commission 2 D O C Comprehensive Plan Amendment Recommendations INDEX A_( SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION FOR CPA # 2 -05 APPLICANT: D & R Garza Properties, LLC LOCATION: 904 & 906 North 4 Street PARCEL NO: APN #191318 -23549 and APN #191318 -23550 DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The applicant requests a change in the Future Land Use Map from Low Density Residential to Neighborhood Commercial. Future zoning would be HB, Historical Busmess if the amendment is approved. FINDINGS: There have been land use changes since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. There was an error made in 1997 by not including this property in the original mapping of the HB zoning district. A granting of this request would affirm the current use of the site without negatively affecting the surroundmg area. This would be consistent with the CWPP policies regardmg Plan flexibility The impact of this application's approval when considered along with the cumulative impacts of previous amendments and the ongmal Comprehensive Plan were determmed to be of no consequence. RPC CONCLUSIONS: The amendment is minor m nature. No adverse impacts have been identified by this amendment request. The amended land use boundaries will serve to correct an obvious mapping error MOTION Based upon the analysis, findings and conclusions outlined above, it was moved and seconded that the Regional Planning Commission recommend APPROVAL of the amendment request from Lo Density Residential to Neighborhood Commercial.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment INDEX Recommendations /1 JI SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION FOR CPA # 3 -05 APPLICANT: DH Construction & Development, Inc. LOCATION: 1708 South 16 Avenue PARCEL NO: APN #181315 -14402 DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The apphcant requests a change m the Future Land Use Map from Medium Density Residential to Neighborhood Commercial. Future zoning would be B -1, Professional Business, if the amendment is approved. FINDINGS: There have been significant land use changes m this area. This property and the two properties located immediately to the north are the only remaining residentially utilized properties to be found along the west side of S 16 Avenue when traveling north from the airport to Midstate Monument Co Commercial redevelopment of this property would cause commercial uses and/or parking to abut the side yard of the northerly residential parcel. Ultimately, however, the goal of this request is to use this land for B -1 types of land use, which are considered to be compatible with the land uses permitted in the R -2 zoning district. The Professional Office Future Land Use Map designation is more appropriate for a rezone to B- 1 than would be Neighborhood Commercial. A granting of this request would conform better with existmg uses. This would be consistent with the CWPP policies regarding Plan flexibility Approval of this application may prompt the future rezoning of the two remaining R-2 lots located to the north. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS (SEPA) The Environmental Checklist submitted by the Applicant divulges no direct sigmficant adverse environmental impacts. One June 30, 2004 a preliminary Determmation of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued for this proposal. The final DNS was issued on July 25, 2005 and the 15 -day appeal period lapsed on August 9, 2005 RPC CONCLUSIONS: The amendment is minor m nature. 2005 Regional Planning Commission 4 D Q C Comprehensive Plan Amendment INDEX Recommendations A-I No adverse impacts have been identified by this amendment request. A Professional Office Future Land Use category is a better match to both the area and the B -1, Professional Business zone. The amended land use boundaries would be a logical extension of existing commercial boundaries. MOTION Based upon the analysis, findings and conclusions outlined above, it was moved and seconded that the Regional Planning Commission recommends that this amendment request from Medium Density Residential to Neighborhood Commercial be modified to the Professional Office designation, which is a more appropriate match for a rezone to B -1, Professional Business, and APPRO ID The motion carved unanimously / "z" 1 ohn llodkinson, Acting : r • Date Regional Planning Commission The Regional Planning Commission 2005 Regional Planning Commission 5 D O C.
