AN ORDINANCE granting a major modification to a Planned Develop-
ment Zone applicable to property at 208 North 16th
Avenue.
WHEREAS, pursuant to due and legal notice, the City Council
of the City of Yakima held a hearing on August 27, 1985, on the
recommendation of the Planning Commission that a major modifica-
tion be granted to the existing Planned Development Zone appli-
cable to property on the northwest corner of the intersection of
16th and Summitview Avenues in the City of Yakima, Washington,
and
WHEREAS, as a result of its hearing, the City Council
hereby makes its following findings and conclusions:
FINDINGS:
1. The property on the northwest corner of the inter-
section of 16th and Summitview Avenues in the City of Yakima is
presently zoned as Planned Development Zone. Property at 208
North 16th Avenue is included within that Planned Development;
and originally the existing building was to be converted to a
bookstore. The proposed major modification consists of removing
that existing building and constructing a new 1,680 square foot
building for occupancy by the Pied Piper Childrens Bookstore.
The modification includes grading of the site to the existing
grade of the Fiddlesticks parking lot and development of a
driveway access along the north boundary of the site. While
access and parking would continue to be shared indefinitely with
the Fiddlesticks development, it is the applicant's intent to
insure suitable access and parking in the event that the book-
store site is sold separately from the remainder of the Fiddle-
sticks development at some future date. In order to accommodate
the new building and driveway, five (5) feet of property will be
410 acquired from the adjacent Fiddlesticks site and merged with
this property.
2. Existing land use and zoning on adjacent properties is
as follows:
Zoning Land Use
North R-1 Single Family Residential
South PD Fiddlesticks
East B-2, R-3 Commercial, Multi-Family Res.
West R-1 Single Family Residential
3. The proposed development is consistent with the Plan
description of Auto Oriented Commercial. The Optimal Land Use
Element of the Plan indicates that Auto Oriented Commercial
Residential development is conditionally compatible with the
Moderate Density Residential development to the north and west
and directly compatible with the commercial uses in the area.
4. North 16th Avenue is classified as a Major Arterial
Street.
5. An existing six (6) foot high site screening fence
located between the site and the Fiddlesticks Store will be
moved to the north boundary of the site and provide needed site
screening between the development and adjacent residential uses.
Use of a six (6) foot high site screening fence between commer-
cial and residential uses is consistent with the provisions of
the proposed Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance.
6. Nine (9) off-street parking spaces, av on the
premises, will adequately serve the proposed ifacility; and
access to the off-street parking from North 16th Avenue and the
Fiddlesticks parking lot is adequate and will pOse no foresee-
able problems.
7. Vacation of the existing irrigation easement and re-
location of the irrigation line along the south boundary of the
site will be required, with the applicant to be responsible for
the costs of engineering and construction.
8. The engineering detail of the proposed i drywell storm
drainage system should be subject to review and approval by the
City Engineer.

approval of the major modification subject to the conditions set

Area Plan,
