AN ORDINANCE accepting the recommendation of the Planning Com-
mission and rezoning property on the north side
of Walnut between South 28th Avenue and 30th
Avenue from Planned Development, R-1, One-Family
Zone and R-3, Multiple-Family Zone to Planned
-111 Development Zone.
WHEREAS, pursuant to due and legal notice, the City Council
of the City of Yakima held a hearing on the 5th day of February,
1985, on the recommendation of the PlanningCommission that
real property situate at the north side of Walnut between South
28th Avenue and 30th Avenue in the City of Yakima, Washington,
the legal description of which is set out below, be rezoned
from Planned Development Zone, R-1, One-Family Zone 'and R-3
Multiple-Family Zone to Planned Development Zone, and
WHEREAS, as a result of this hearing, the City Council
hereby makes its following findings and conclusions:
FINDINGS:
1. Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital submitted a final plan
and program for a rezone from Planned Development Zone, R-1, One-
Family Zone. and R-3, Multiple-Family Zone to Planned Develop-
,
ment Zone for eight (8) lots located on the north side of Walnut
between South 28th Avenue and 30th Avenue. The proposed plan is
a two-phase redevelopment of the lots to a 155 space parking
facility. This request is made in contemplation of the vacation
of a portion of South 29th Avenue located within the proposed
1111 project and the construction of a cul-de-sac.
2. Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital has adopted a proposed
long-range plan for future hospital expansion and development.
The.long-range plan indicates the intent of Memorial Hospital
to acquire the block to the east of the hospital and conduct a
phased redevelopment of the block to off-street parking in the
future. Off-street parking is also proposed for several lots on
Al, the west side South 30th Avenue. Use of these areas for off-
street parking would permit the hospital to focus its future
-2- •
structural expansion on its existing site. The long-range plan
does not indicate an intent to extend farther to the north than
the planned development proposal presently under consideration.
3. The land use and zoning of lots adjacent to the develop-
ment site is as follows:
Zoning Land Use
North R-1 Single Family Residential
South R-3 Memorial.Hospital
East R-1 Single Family Residential
West R-1 Single Family Residential
4. Currently, a parking congestion problem adversely affects
the residential neighborhood in the vicinity of the hospital,
and that problem would be alleviated by the proposed development.
5. The proposed fence and landscaping would adequately
site screen and buffer the parking facility from adjacent resi-
dences and thereby achieve the degree of compatibility envisioned
by the Urban Area Plan.
6. The proposal is consistent with an informal agreement
between the Hospital and the neighborhood preliminarily worked
out in 1982 at the time Memorial's child care center planned
development was approved.
7. Environmental review pursuant to the State Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA) has been completed and a Determination of
Nonsignificance issued by the City SEPA Responsible Officer.
8. On January 31, 1985, the City Planning Commission recom-
mended approval of the Planned Development request.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The Optimal Land Use Element of the Plan indicates that
the parking facility would be compatible, with site considera-
tions, with the adjacent low/moderate density single family
residential neighborhood. The proposal is also consistent with
the policies contained within the Transportation and Utilities ANIL
11111,
Element of the Plan.
2. The lots are now owned by Memorial and the proposal is
a logical part of the Hospital's long-range plan to satisfy its
growth needs which includes the provision of sufficient parking.

the rezone should be affirmed, and the rezone should be granted
