Large Convenience Center Development Criteria
1. Development shall be allowed adjacent to the following land
uses: CBDS, CBD, Auto -Oriented Commercial, Small
Convenience Centers, Professional Service, Other Large
Convenience Centers.
2. If development can demonstrate compatibility it may also be
allowed adjacent to: Light Industrial, High Density Residential,
Moderate Density Residential;
3. Large Convenience Center development shall not be allowed
adjacent to other intensity land uses unless unique
characteristics of the individual site, to the siting or design of the
development, would alleviate the problem.
4. Development shall only be allowed in areas where compatibility
conflicts with citizens of the area can be resolved.
5. Development shall only be allowed if the need for such a facility
can be proved.
B. Findings. After considering the record in this matter, the City Council
makes the following findings:
(1) All Findings stated above are restated in relation to the
requirements of the 1981 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan.
(2) During the pendancy of the Application, Mercy advised the City
and the Regional Planning Commission that, unless otherwise directed,
it would pursue the requested rezone under the procedures and criteria
of the 1981 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan ("Comp Plan")
and the Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance.
(3) The Subject Property has approximately 1140 linear feet of
frontage on the north side of River Road. Approximately 30 acres
zoned Large Convenience Center (LCC) lies north of River Road
between the southerly portion of the Subject Property and North 16th
Avenue. The Yakima Cinema, a ten (10) movie theater complex,
occupies part of the northerly portion of this area. A medical clinic is
under construction immediately south of the movie theaters.
(4) Approximately 8.75 acres lies north of the cinema between North
16th Avenue and the Subject Property. Of this, 2.69 is zoned Light
Industrial (M-1); the rest is zoned Professional Office (B-1).
(5) The Subject Property includes more than 1350 linear feet of

property between the Subject Property and North 6th Avenue is zoned
Light Industrial (M-1). Most of this is owned by C.M. Holtzinger Fruit
Co., Inc., and is used for fruit packing and storage facilities.
(6) State Route 12 and two parcels zoned Light Industrial (M-1)
bound the Subject Property to the north.
(7) Properties west of North 16th Avenue are zoned Professional
Office (B-1) and Local Business (B-2) and include Lake Aspen Office
Park and other office and business uses.
(8) The property east of North 6thAvenue is all zoned Light
Industrial (M-1) and includes agricultural and industrial land uses,
with a few homes scattered among orchards.
(9) The weight of the evidence is that the requested rezone and
Proposed Uses are compatible with adjacent properties.
(10) Traffic issues predominated compatibility concerns expressed by
owners/users of property zoned Light Industrial and citizens.
(11) Mercy has agreed to the Development Agreement which is
attached to this Ordinance as Attachment B.
(12) A regional retail shopping mall requires a large site.
(13) The 85 -acre size of the Subject Property provides an appropriate
quantity of land for a regional retail shopping mall.
(14) There is no other appropriate site for a regional retail shopping
mall in the City of Yakima.
(15) The testimony and reports of economists submitted by Mercy
demonstrate that consumer demand for mall type goods in the Yakima
area is not satisfied by existing retail businesses in the Yakima area.
(16) The population of the Yakima trade area and the demand for
retail sales of the kind of goods sold at a regional shopping mall are
likely to increase significantly in the near future. As stated by the
Hearing Examiner at page 34 of his Recommendation, based on
population growth projections for the Yakima area, "Significant growth
in retail demand is reasonable and probable within the trade area."
(17) During the pendancy of this application, two parties interested
in developing property outside the City of Yakima opposed the
requested rezone. These parties did not appear at the City Council
meeting on June 1 and 8, 1999, but participated fully in the open -record
public hearing conducted by the Hearing Examiner. Such participation
reinforces Mercy's assertion that "the market" is distinctly interested in

the possibility of — and that a need exists for —a new regional retail
shopping mall in the greater Yakima area. It also reinforces the sense
that, if the rezone is not allowed, the City of Yakima may lose retail
sales tax revenues to a neighboring jurisdiction.
(18) If a new regional retail shopping mall is not developed within
the City of Yakima, there is a significant possibility, if not a likelihood,
that such a facility will be developed in a nearby jurisdiction.
(19) The City of Yakima, as a government, has a significant interest in
receiving the retail sales tax revenues which are likely to be generated
in the future by a new regional retail shopping mall.
(20) The requested rezone appears likely to have a positive effect on
the City of Yakima's retail sales tax revenues.
C. Conclusions. Based on all Findings above, the City Council makes the
following conclusions:
(1) Pursuant to City of Yakima Ordinances 98-29 and 98-45, the
requested rezone, which was filed April 4, 1996, is subject to review
under the 1981 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan.
(2) Based on the improvements to be provided by Mercy according
to the attached Development Agreement, the requested rezone and
Proposed Uses are compatible with adjacent properties.
(3) There is a need in the City of Yakima for a regional retail
shopping mall.
(4) The requested rezone is needed to provide an appropriate site
with appropriate zoning for the development of a regional retail
shopping mall.
(5) The requested rezone satisfies the requirements of the 1981
Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan.
3. Review Under Title 15 of the Yakima Municipal Code:
A. Criteria:
(1) Section 15.03.030(9) YMC provides:
The purpose and intent of the large convenience center district is
to:
a. Provide areas for commercial activities outside the central
business district that meet the retail shopping and service needs
of the community; and

b. Accommodate existing clusters of retail, financial,
professional, service businesses and entertainment activities that
attract shoppers from an area significantly larger than a
neighborhood.
New large convenience centers will generally be greater than ten
acres in size, and may be permitted when they demonstrate that
they will complement, and not have a significant detrimental
impact on, existing commercial areas or surrounding land uses.
(2) Section 15.23.030(E) YMC provides the following generally
applicable criteria for rezones. The criteria function in the first instance
as considerations required of the Hearing Examiner's
Recommendation. Then they function as considerations required of the
City Council for its decision to affirm or reject the Hearing Examiner's
Recommendation pursuant to § 15.23.030(F) YMC:
1. The testimony at the public hearing;
2. The suitability of the property in question for uses
permitted under the proposed zoning;
3. The recommendation from interested agencies and
departments;
4. The extent to which the proposed amendments are in
compliance with and/or deviate from the goals and
policies as adopted in the Yakima urban area
comprehensive plan and the intent of this title;
5. The adequacy of public facilities, such as roads, sewer,
water and other required public services;
6. The compatibility of the proposed zone change and
associated uses with neighboring land uses; and,
7. The public need for the proposed change.
B. Findings: After considering the record in this matter, the City Council
makes the following findings:
(1) All Findings stated above are restated in relation to the
requirements of Title 15 YMC.
(2) The City Council considered the record including the contents of
the file, the testimony and evidence presented at the open -record public
hearing, and the Hearing Examiner's Recommendation.

The Subject Property is:
(a) Generally undeveloped;
(b) Unusually convenient to the North 16th Avenue
interchange with State Route 12, a major regional highway;
(c) Flat and does not include floodplains or other critical
areas.
(4) Primary access to the Proposed Uses on the Subject Property is
proposed from North 16th Avenue, a Principal Arterial street, with
secondary and tertiary access from River Road and North 6th Avenue.
(5) Neighboring land uses include:
(a) Orchard;
(b) Movie theaters;
(c) Undeveloped land;
(d) Butcher shop;
(e) Fruit storage and packing;
(f) Medical services;
(g) Business offices;
(h) A few scattered single-family residences.
(6) A survey of businesses conducted and reported by Hebert
Research showed that the requested rezone would complement existing
commercial areas.
(7) Mercy will, pursuant to the Development Agreement, construct
substantial street system and frontage improvements on North 16th
Avenue, River Road and North 6th Avenue.
(8) The Hearing Examiner considered the City Planning Division
Staff Report, which recommended approval of the requested rezone
subject to conditions included in the Preliminary Draft Development
Agreement.
(9) The City Council considered the record including the City
Planning Division Staff Report and the Hearing Examiner's
Recommendation.

rendered adequate for the Proposed Uses by improvements which will
be constructed by Mercy under the attached Development Agreement.
C. Conclusions: Based on the above Findings, the City Council makes the
following conclusions:
(1) The Hearing Examiner and the City Council have considered the
extent to which the requested rezone complies with and/or deviates
from goals and policies of the Comp Plan and the intent of Title 15
YMC, which is stated at § 15.01.030 YMC.
(2) The Subject Property is suitable for the Proposed Uses as
permitted in the Large Convenience Center (LCC) zoning district.
(3)
Discussion: Objective III of the 1981 Comp Plan provides:
[Land use decisions should] Assure that future land use controls
respond to, rather than attempt to direct market demand by
providing a degree of predictability to land use decisions while
retaining flexibility to address individual situations.
Opponents asserted that under the Proposed Uses the requested rezone
would have a significant detrimental impact on downtown Yakima.
The concepts of complementarity and "no significant detrimental
impact" function as equivalent expressions of the same criterion, rather
than as logically independent criteria.
Opponents offered economic evidence that the requested rezone and
Proposed Uses would depend for success on diverting both retail
businesses and customers from existing commercial areas, particularly
downtown Yakima. On that basis opponents asserted that the
requested rezone would have a "significant detrimental impact on
existing commercial areas," contrary to the provisions of § 15.03.030(9)
YMC.
The requested rezone, in conjunction with the Proposed Uses, will
introduce competition to existing commercial areas, and such
competition may challenge existing retail businesses and their
landlords. However, competition is not, in and of itself, a "significant
detrimental impact" under § 15.03.030(9) YMC. There is no showing
that the requested rezone will result in more than competition. If, for
instance, there were substantial evidence that the requested rezone
would result in blight to existing commercial areas, approval might not
be consistent with the provisions of § 15.03.030(9) YMC.

Therefore, the requested rezone will complement and not have a
significant detrimental impact on existing commercial areas.
(4) The requested rezone will complement and not have a
significant detrimental impact on surrounding land uses.
(5) The improvements to be provided by Mercy according to the
attached Development Agreement will accommodate existing clusters
of retail, financial, professional, service businesses and entertainment
activities that attract shoppers from an area significantly larger than a
neighborhood.
(6) A public need exists for the requested rezone in conjunction with
the Proposed Uses.
(7) The requested rezone satisfies the requirements of Title 15 YMC.
4. Other Requirements
A. Changed Circumstances: Washington law generally requires that the
City Council determine that changed circumstances justify rezoning land.
(1) Findings: After considering the record in this matter, the City
Council restates all findings stated above in relation to the requirement
of changed circumstance.
(2) Conclusion: Based on all Findings stated above, the City Council
concludes that changed circumstances justify rezoning the Subject
Property from Light Industrial (M-1) to Large Convenience Center
(LCC) for the Proposed Uses as conditioned by this Ordinance and the
attached Development Agreement.
B. Development Agreement: §§ 36.70B.170-210 RCW provide a statutory
basis for the Development Agreement attached to this Ordinance as
Attachment B.
(1) Findings:
(a) After considering the record in this matter, the City
Council restates all findings stated above in relation to the
requirements for a Development Agreement.
(b) The Development Agreement attached to this Ordinance
as Attachment B is the successor to a "Preliminary Draft
Development Agreement" included in the City Planning
Division Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner.

has been redrafted by the City Legal Department to improve its
form.

Recommendation, and the statements of Mercy and other interested persons; and
WHEREAS, in consideration of the Findings and Conclusions stated below, and
subject to the conditions stated in this ordinance, it is in the best interests of the City
to approve the requested rezone to allow Mercy to use the Subject Property for the
Proposed Uses; now, therefore,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YAKIMA,
WASHINGTON:

Ordinance.
1. Jurisdiction

(2) The Subject Property is comprised of 13 parcels which are now
zoned Light Industrial (M-1).
(3) Mercy is the Applicant and is authorized to pursue the

ORDINANCE 99-23
RZ 3-96 MERCY ENTERPRISES - RIVERSIDE MALL Page 2 of 26
(4) The Application was filed on April 4, 1996, and has been
assigned file numbers UAZO RZ #3-96 and EC #13-96 by the Planning
Division of the Department of Community and Economic
Development.
(5) Mercy has requested that the Subject Property be rezoned from
Light Industrial (M-1) to Large Convenience Center (LCC) in order to
establish rights to pursue phased development and use of the Subject
Property and approximately 5 adjacent acres, which are already zoned
LCC, for a regional retail shopping mall of up to 850,000 square feet
gross leasable area and additional separate commercial and office
buildings of up to 120,000 square feet gross leasable area, according to a
graphic Concept Site Plan and verbal descriptions stated in the Final
Environmental Impact Statement issued on November 16, 1998, and at
various points in documents and testimony submitted by Mercy (the
"Proposed Uses").
(6) The City of Yakima is the lead agency for environmental review
of the requested rezone pursuant to chapter 43.21C RCW, the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
(7) The requested rezone has been reviewed pursuant to SEPA on
the basis of the Proposed Uses.
(8) A Final Environmental Impact Statement for the requested
rezone was issued on November 16, 1998.
(9) On February 4, 5, and 12, 1999, the City of Yakima Hearing
Examiner conducted a duly convened, open -record public hearing
regarding the requested rezone (UAZO RZ #3-96).
(10) The Hearing Examiner considered the contents of the file and the
testimony and evidence presented at the open -record public hearing.
(11) The Hearing Examiner issued his Examiner's Recommendation,
Examiner No. IU99-2-3, dated May 19, 1999.
B. Conclusion: Based on the above Findings, and pursuant to chapter
15.23 YMC and applicable state and local law, the City Council has jurisdiction to
decide whether the requested rezone should be granted.
2. Review Under 1981 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan
A. Criteria: The following Large Convenience Center Development
Criteria, which appear at pages OLU-12 -13 of the 1981 Yakima Urban Area
Comprehensive Plan, apply to the requested rezone:
ORDINANCE 99-23
RZ 3-96 MERCY ENTERPRISES - RIVERSIDE MALL Page 3 of 26
Large Convenience Center Development Criteria
1. Development shall be allowed adjacent to the following land
uses: CBDS, CBD, Auto -Oriented Commercial, Small
Convenience Centers, Professional Service, Other Large
Convenience Centers.
2. If development can demonstrate compatibility it may also be
allowed adjacent to: Light Industrial, High Density Residential,
Moderate Density Residential;
3. Large Convenience Center development shall not be allowed
adjacent to other intensity land uses unless unique
characteristics of the individual site, to the siting or design of the
development, would alleviate the problem.
4. Development shall only be allowed in areas where compatibility
conflicts with citizens of the area can be resolved.
5. Development shall only be allowed if the need for such a facility
can be proved..
B. Findings. After considering the record in this matter, the City Council
makes the following findings:
(1) All Findings stated above are restated in relation to the
requirements of the 1981 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan.
(2) During the pendancy of the Application, Mercy advised the City
and the Regional Planning Commission that, unless otherwise directed,
it would pursue the requested rezone under the procedures and criteria
of the 1981 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan ("Comp Plan")
and the Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance.
(3) The Subject Property has approximately 1140 linear feet of
frontage on the north side of River Road. Approximately 30 acres
zoned Large Convenience Center (LCC) lies north of River Road
between the southerly portion of the Subject Property and North 16th
Avenue. The Yakima Cinema, a ten (10) movie theater complex,
occupies part of the northerly portion of this area. A medical clinic is
under construction immediately south of the movie theaters.
(4) Approximately 8.75 acres lies north of the cinema between North
16th Avenue and the Subject Property. Of this, 2.69 is zoned Light
Industrial (M-1); the rest is zoned Professional Office (B-1).
(5) The Subject Property includes more than 1350 linear feet of
discontinuous frontage on the west side of North 6th Avenue. Other
ORDINANCE 99-23
RZ 3-96 MERCY ENTERPRISES - RIVERSIDE MALL Page 4 of 26
property between the Subject Property and North 6th Avenue is zoned
Light Industrial (M-1). Most of this is owned by C.M. Holtzinger Fruit
Co., Inc., and is used for fruit packing and storage facilities.
(6) State Route 12 and two parcels zoned Light Industrial (M-1)
bound the Subject Property to the north.
(7) Properties west of North 16th Avenue are zoned Professional
Office (B-1) and Local Business (B-2) and include Lake Aspen Office
Park and other office and business uses.
(8) The property east of North 6thAvenue is all zoned Light
Industrial (M-1) and includes agricultural and industrial land uses,
with a few homes scattered among orchards.
(9) The weight of the evidence is that the requested rezone and
Proposed Uses are compatible with adjacent properties.
(10) Traffic issues predominated compatibility concerns expressed by
owners/users of property zoned Light Industrial and citizens.
(11) Mercy has agreed to the Development Agreement which is
attached to this Ordinance as Attachment B.
(12) A regional retail shopping mall requires a large site.
(13) The 85 -acre size of the Subject Property provides an appropriate
quantity of land for a regional retail shopping mall.
(14) There is no other appropriate site for a regional retail shopping
mall in the City of Yakima.
(15) The testimony and reports of economists submitted by Mercy
demonstrate that consumer demand for mall type goods in the Yakima
area is not satisfied by existing retail businesses in the Yakima area.
(16) The population of the Yakima trade area and the demand for
retail sales of the kind of goods sold at a regional shopping mall are
likely to increase significantly in the near future. As stated by the
Hearing Examiner at page 34 of his Recommendation, based on
population growth projections for the Yakima area, "Significant growth
in retail demand is reasonable and probable within the trade area."
(17) During the pendancy of this application, two parties interested
in developing property outside the City of Yakima opposed the
requested rezone. These parties did not appear at the City Council
meeting on June 1 and 8, 1999, but participated fully in the open -record
public hearing conducted by the Hearing Examiner. Such participation
reinforces Mercy's assertion that "the market" is distinctly interested in.
ORDINANCE 99-23
RZ 3-96 MERCY ENTERPRISES - RIVERSIDE MALL Page 5 of .26
the possibility of —and that a need exists for — a new regional retail
shopping mall in the greater Yakima area. It also reinforces the sense
that, if the rezone is not allowed, the City of Yakima may lose retail
sales tax revenues to a neighboring jurisdiction.
(18) If a new regional retail shopping mall is not developed within
the City of Yakima, there is a significant possibility, if not a likelihood,
that such a facility will, be developed in a nearby jurisdiction.
(19) The City of Yakima, as a government, has a significant interest in
receiving the retail sales tax revenues which are likely to be generated
in the future by a new regional retail shopping mall.
(20) The requested rezone appears likely to have a positive effect on
the City of Yakima's retail sales tax revenues.
C. Conclusions. Based on all Findings above, the City Council makes the
following conclusions:
(1) Pursuant to City of Yakima Ordinances 98-29 and 98-45, the
requested rezone, which was filed April 4, 1996, is subject to review
under the 1981 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan.
(2) Based on the improvements to be provided by Mercy according
to the attached Development Agreement, the requested rezone and
Proposed Uses are compatible with adjacent properties.
(3) There is a need in the City of Yakima for a regional retail
shopping mall.
(4) The requested rezone is needed to provide an appropriate site
with appropriate zoning for the development of a regional retail
shopping mall.
(5) The requested rezone satisfies the requirements of the 1981
Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan.
3. Review Under Title 15 of the Yakima Municipal Code:
A. Criteria:
(1) Section 15.03.030(9) YMC provides:
The purpose and intent of the large convenience center district is
to:
a. Provide areas for commercial activities outside the central
. business district that meet the retail shopping and service needs
of the community; and
ORDINANCE 99-23
RZ 3-96 MERCY ENTERPRISES - RIVERSIDE MALL Page 6 of 26
b. Accommodate existing clusters of retail, financial,
professional, service businesses and entertainment activities that
attract shoppers from an area significantly larger than a
neighborhood.
New large convenience centers will generally be greater than ten
acres in size, and may be permitted when they demonstrate that
they will complement, and not have a significant detrimental
impact on, existing commercial areas or surrounding land uses.
(2) Section 15.23.030(E) YMC provides the following generally
applicable criteria for rezones. The criteria function in the first instance
as considerations required of the Hearing Examiner's
Recommendation. Then they function as considerations required of the
City Council for its decision to affirm or reject the Hearing Examiner's
Recommendation pursuant to § 15.23.030(F) YMC:
1. The .testimony at the public hearing;
2. The suitability of the property in question for uses
permitted under the proposed zoning;
3. Therecommendation from interested agencies and
departments;
4. The extent to which the proposed amendments are in
compliance with and/or deviate from the goals and
policies as adopted in the Yakima urban area
comprehensive plan and the intent of this title;
5. The adequacy of public facilities, such as roads, sewer,
water and other required public services;
6. The compatibility of the proposed zone change and
associated uses with neighboring land uses; and,
7. The public need for the proposed change.
B. Findings: After considering the record in this matter, the City Council
makes the following findings:
(1) All Findings stated above are restated in relation to the
requirements of Title 15 YMC.
(2) The City Council considered the record including the contents of
the file, the testimony and evidence presented at the open -record public
hearing, and the Hearing Examiner's Recommendation.
ORDINANCE 99-23
RZ 3-96 MERCY ENTERPRISES - RIVERSIDE MALL Page 7 of 26
(3)
The Subject Property is:
(a) Generally undeveloped;
(b) Unusually convenient to the North 16th Avenue
interchange with State Route 12, a major regional highway;
(c) Flat and does not include floodplains or other critical
areas.
(4) Primary access to the Proposed Uses on the Subject Property is
proposed from North 16th Avenue, a Principal Arterial street, with
secondary and tertiary access from River Road and North 6th Avenue.
(5) Neighboring land uses include:
(a) Orchard;
(b) Movie theaters;
(c) Undeveloped land;
(d) Butcher shop;
(e) Fruit storage and packing;
(f) Medical services;
(g) Business offices;
(h) A few scattered single-family residences.
(6) A survey of businesses conducted and reported by Hebert
Research showed that the requested rezone would complement existing
commercial areas.
(7) Mercy will, pursuant to the Development Agreement, construct
substantial street system and frontage improvements on North 16th
Avenue, River Road and North 6th Avenue.
(8) The Hearing Examiner considered the City Planning Division
Staff Report, which recommended approval of the requested rezone
subject to conditions included in the Preliminary Draft Development
Agreement.
(9) The City Council considered the record including the City
Planning Division Staff Report and the Hearing Examiner's
Recommendation.
(10) Public facilities including streets, domestic and irrigation water,
and wastewater infrastructure are either adequate now or will be
ORDINANCE 99-23
RZ 3-96 MERCY ENTERPRISES - RIVERSIDE MALL Page 8 of 26
rendered adequate for the Proposed Uses by improvements which will
be constructed by Mercy under the attached Development Agreement.
C. Conclusions: Based on the above Findings, the City Council makes the
following conclusions:
(1) The Hearing Examiner and the City Council have considered the
extent to which the requested rezone complies with and/or deviates
from goals and policies of the Comp Plan and the intent of Title 15
YMC, which is stated at § 15.01.030 YMC.
(2) The Subject Property is suitable for the Proposed Uses as
permitted in the Large Convenience Center (LCC) zoning district.
(3)
Discussion: Objective III of the 1981 Comp Plan provides:
[Land use decisions should] Assure that future land use controls
respond to, rather than attempt to direct market demand by
providing a degree of predictability to land use decisions while
retaining flexibility to address individual situations.
Opponents asserted that under the Proposed Uses the requested rezone
would have a significant detrimental impact on downtown Yakima.
The concepts of complementarity and "no significant detrimental
impact" function as equivalent expressions of the same criterion, rather
than as logically independent criteria.
Opponents offered economic evidence that the requested rezone and
Proposed Uses would depend for success on diverting both retail
businesses and customers from existing commercial areas, particularly
downtown Yakima. On that basis opponents asserted that the
requested rezone would have a "significant detrimental impact on
existing commercial areas," contrary to the provisions of § 15.03.030(9)
YMC.
The requested rezone, in conjunction with the Proposed Uses, will
introduce competition to existing commercial areas, and such
competition may challenge existing retail businesses and their
landlords. However, competition is not, in and of itself, a "significant
detrimental impact" under § 15.03.030(9) YMC. There is no showing
that the requested rezone will result in more than competition. If, for
instance, there were substantial evidence that the requested rezone
would result in blight to existing commercial areas, approval might not
be consistent with the provisions of § 15.03.030(9) YMC.
ORDINANCE 99-23
RZ 3-96 MERCY ENTERPRISES - RIVERSIDE MALL Page 9 of 26
Therefore, the requested rezone will complement and not have a
significant detrimental impact on existing commercial areas.
(4) The requested rezone will complement and not have a
significant detrimental impact on surrounding land uses.
(5) The improvements to be provided by Mercy according to the
attached Development Agreement will accommodate existing clusters
of retail, financial, professional, service businesses and entertainment
activities that attract shoppers from an area significantly larger than a
neighborhood.
(6) A public need exists for the requested rezone in conjunction with
the Proposed Uses.
(7) The requested rezone satisfies the requirements of Title 15 YMC.
4. Other Requirements
A. Changed Circumstances: Washington law generally requires that the
City Council determine that changed circumstances justify rezoning land.
(1) Findings: After considering the record in this matter, the City
Council restates all findings stated above in relation to the requirement
of changed circumstance.
(2) Conclusion: Based on all Findings stated above, the City Council
concludes that changed circumstances justify rezoning the Subject
Property from Light Industrial (M-1) to Large Convenience Center
(LCC) for the Proposed Uses as conditioned by this Ordinance and the
attached Development Agreement.
B. Development Agreement: §§ 36.70B.170-210 RCW provide a statutory
basis for the Development Agreement attached to this Ordinance as
Attachment B.
(1) Findings:
(a) After considering the record in this matter, the City
Council restates all findings stated above in relation to the
requirements for a Development Agreement.
(b) The Development Agreement attached to this Ordinance
as Attachment B is the successor to a "Preliminary Draft
Development Agreement" included in the City Planning
Division Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner.
ORDINANCE 99-23
RZ 3-96 MERCY ENTERPRISES - RIVERSIDE MALL Page 10 of 26
(c) That Preliminary Draft Development Agreement was
revised pursuant to discussions between City staff and
representatives of Mercy.
(d) The key points of the revised "Preliminary Draft
Development Agreement" were offered orally to the Hearing
Examiner during the open -record public hearing on February 5,
1999, and a revised text was submitted during the open -record
public hearing on February 12, 1999.
(e) The Hearing Examiner considered the revised
Preliminary Draft Development Agreement and adopted it as an
essential component of his Recommendation.
(f) The City Council considered the revised Preliminary
Draft Development Agreement recommended by the Hearing
Examiner and made several relatively minor amendments.
(g) The Development Agreement attached to this Ordinance
has been redrafted by the City Legal Department to improve its
form.
C. Conclusion: The Development Agreement attached to this Ordinance
is authorized by state law.

Upon satisfaction of all of the foregoing conditions precedent, the Director
shall execute a recordable written instrument certifying that all of the
conditions have been satisfied and the rezone shall become effective. This
certificate of satisfaction of conditions shall be recorded at the Yakima County
Auditor's Office. However, in the event that all of the foregoing conditions
precedent are not satisfied by January 18, 2005, then this Ordinance shall be
deemed to have no legal force or effect, and the rezone provided for herein

5. Developer and the City shall pursue amendments to the City of Yakima's
Comprehensive Plan to ensure that the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan
appropriately relate to the zoning of the Subject Rezone Property established by

unless and until the street improvements listed below shall be completely

Developer shall be responsible for the full cost of the design and construction of the
street and intersection improvements listed above. The projects listed above fulfill

7. Supplemental Traffic Review by City. No building permit applications which
would result in total development on the Subject Development Property in excess of
467,500 square feet gross leasable area shall be issued before the City conducts
supplemental traffic review to ensure adequate capacity for traffic which may be
generated by the total development.
As a result of such supplemental traffic review, the City may require the Developer
j)
to:

c) Construct other mitigation not identified in the FEIS.
In consideration of the Developer's agreement to construct all the improvements

construct other mitigation listed in the FEIS.
The scope of supplemental traffic review will be the study area of the FEIS. The
responsible official under SEPA may adopt the EIS or issue a Mitigated
Determination of Nonsignificance for development in excess of 467,500 square feet of
the regional retail shopping mall. Environmental review of traffic issues shall be
subject to the provisions of the SEPA ordinance in effect at that time. In the event
supplemental traffic review identifies impacts which require mitigation by
improvements not mentioned in the FEIS, the developer will assume a proportionate
share of those improvements.
Fiscal Responsibility and proportionate shares for any improvements determined
necessary for subsequent projects would be determined as a result of this future
study and would be the subject of another Development Agreement with the City.
S. Reservation of Capacity. The construction of identified street improvements
shall create a substantial increase in road capacity with such capacity exceeding
projected use requirements for the regional shopping center. The City shall reserve
developer -constructed capacity enhancements for the benefit of the rezoned property
for a period of twenty (20) years from the time of construction of the specific
improvement. The City Traffic Engineer shall compute and record the amount of
such reserved capacity less background traffic growth, calculated at 2.5% annually
unless otherwise established by actual measurement (in accordance with the FEIS
assumptions).
9. Right -of -Way Acquisition. City of Yakima will consider using its power of
eminent domain in order to acquire any right-of-way necessary for contemplated
improvements on North 16th Avenue between State Route 12 and River Road, and on
River Road between North 6th Avenue and North 16th Avenue. In the event the City
elects not to use eminent domain the City will evaluate other design alternatives or
adjustments. The cost of such right-of-way acquisition shall be the responsibility of
Developer. Right-of-way acquisition is not required, however, for improvements on
North 6th Avenue between the mall entrance and Fruitvale Boulevard.
Improvements on such road segments shall be within the existing road right-of-way.
10. Latecomers' Agreement. The City and Developer shall cooperate in the
formation of a road benefit district and/or latecomers' agreement with respect to

order to allow the City to utilize the funds or improvements contemplated by this
Agreement as a match for securing either state or federal road improvement funding.

Professional Business (B-1) located directly northwest of the rezone site to mitigate
increased traffic which may prohibit or restrict commercial driveways and left turn
movements to the section of North 16th Avenue in the vicinity of State Route 12.
13. Participation in Utility Connections. Participation in the 27 -inch Tamarack
sewer interceptor and public utility easement is required across the property.
Participation in the sewer interceptor may off -set connection charges for the 89 -acre
rezone area. Wastewater connection charges are expected to be in the $220,000 to
$240,000 range with the developer constructing the collection for the area.
14. Security Plan. A Security Plan shall be submitted to the City, to be approved
