Virtual meetings or small group meetings for the technical advisory committee will be held in the near future. A draft of the plan will be made available to the Planning Commission once available and will later go to City Council for their approval in spring of 2021. Approval of Meeting Minutes — It was motioned by Commissioner Rose and seconded by Commissioner Place to approve the meeting minutes of August 12, 2020. The motion carried unanimously. Continued Study Session: 2020 Comprehensive Plan Amendments — Per the Commission's request, Associate Planner Trevor Martin explained the history of the R-3 zoned property to the west of the subject property which is owned by West Valley Nursing Homes and has yet to be developed. In 2018, the property owner sought to terminate the development agreement for the property which limited development of the property to multi -family senior living and senior care residential facilities, in order for them to explore other uses. They received approval but with the condition that they must maintain a 100-foot buffer of R-1 zoned property between them and their neighbor to the northwest. Martin also brought back to the Commission information on the wetlands of the subject property (8014 Occidental Rd). He explained that it is an intermittent water stream with seasonal water flow. This wetland is not shown on the city's mapping system, but is considered a wetland according to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources website. A Critical Areas Review application would be required at the time a development is proposed. Discussion took place between the Commission and staff pertaining to uncertainty about developing this site due to this being a non -project rezone. Some concerns expressed include the elevation difference of the subject property and the surrounding area and how grading the property could negatively impact the adjacent properties, and establishing a driveway on the existing access easement where there is a steep embankment. Calhoun emphasized the need for this discussion to happen at the public hearing so it is included in the record. *Chair Jacob Liddicoat joined the meeting around 3:15 p.m., and Council Liaison Kay Funk joined the meeting at approximately 3:21 p.m. -1- Discussion on Shoreline Master Program Update — Calhoun notified the Commission that the City received a grant from the Department of Ecology to help complete an update to the Shoreline Master Program (SMP), which is required to be updated periodically. The Commission members were provided a copy of the draft Public Participation Plan and a screenshot of the SMP webpage on the City's website. Calhoun noted that the first public notice is anticipated to go out in October. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing thereafter where they will be making a recommendation to City Council. Other Business — Calhoun announced that after the Planning Commission virtual public hearing on September 23d regarding the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and a virtual public hearing on September 24th with the Hearing Examiner, the Planning Division will be caught up on public hearings that have been postponed due to COVID-19. Adjourn — A motion to adjourn to September 23, 2020 was passed with unanimous vote. This meeting adjourned at approximately 3:37 p.m. Chair Liddicoat Date This meeting was filmed by YPAC. Minutes for this meeting submitted by: Lisa Maxey, Planning Technician. -2- LES HEIMGARTNER CPA#001-20, RZ#002-20 & SEPA#011-20 Yakima Planning Commission Open Record Public :Tearing September 23, 2020 EXHIBIT LIST Applicant: Hordan Planning Services on behalf of Les Heimgartner File Numbers: CPA#001-20, RZ#002-20 & SEPA#011-20 Site Address: 8014 Occidental Rd Staff Contact: Trevor Martin, Associate Planner Table of Contents CHAPTER A Staff Report CHAPTER B Maps CHAPTER C Conceptual Site Plan CHAPTER D SEPA Checklist CHAPTER E Applications CHAPTER F Public Comments CHAPTER G Public Notices CHAPTER H Supplemental Information Pagel of 133 LES HEIMGARTNER CPA#001-20, RZ#002-20 & SEPA#011-20 EXHIBIT LIST CHAPTER A Staff Report Page 2 of 133 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Joan Davenport, AICP, Director Planning Division "IdAm I XW Joseph Calhoun, Manager C 11 Y O F Y IK B �w A 129 North Second Street, 2°d Floor, Yakima, WA 98901 anning ask.planning@yakimawa.gov • www.yakimawa.gov/services/planning CITY OF YAKIMA FINDINGS of FACT, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION for REQUEST FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONE .. _ . -' o "�'��;f0I#1w16+.�$iF.?l. iI I► [ill APPLICANT: APPLICANT ADDRESS: PROJECT LOCATION: PARCEL(S): DATE OF REQUEST: DATE OF RECOMMENDATION: STAFF CONTACT: Hordan Planning Services on behalf of Les Heimgartner 410 N 2"d St., Yakima, WA 98902 8014 Occidental 181206-12454 & -12455 April 28, 2020 September 23, 2020 Trevor Martin, Associate Planner L DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment (CPA), Rezone, and Environmental Review requesting to change the Future Land Use Map designation from Low Density Residential to Mixed Residential and to concurrently rezone from Single Family Residential (R-1) to Multifamily Residential (R-3).

III. PUBLIC NOTICE: Posting of Property June 24, 2020 Mailing of Notice of Application July 31, 2020 Public Hearing Notice Published August 24, 2020 IV. FINDINGS OF FACT: A. Environmental Review. Environmental Review (SEPA#011-20) was completed for this application, and a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued on August 24, 2020. No appeals were filed. Page 3 of 133 B. Comments Received Five public Comments were received and are summarized below (full comments can be found in the file CPA#001-20): • The first comment letter was from Tracy Sawyer, who expressed the following concerns: o Increase traffic coming through the neighborhood, and using Hope Lane as access to any proposed storage unit development; o Impacts to the surrounding environment and wildlife; o The need for a possible storage unit in the area as opposed to additional housing. • The Second letter was received from Andrew Sawyer, who expressed the following concerns: o A future site for mini storage would be incompatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood due to lighting, time of access, and access to the site; o Impacts to the surrounding environment, specifically drainage from the site; o Requirement of an critical area and wetland delineation report; o Onus is primarily on the purchaser of a property, and it is part of their due diligence to understand how they can use the property; o Continued need for housing in Yakima. • The next letter is from John Bresnahan, who has concerns with the following: o Traffic using a commercial site adjacent to a residential neighborhood, and the disruption to residential streets; o There are many other areas within the City, including infill lots, that need redevelopment which would be more conducive for a storage unit; o The traffic report submitted by the applicant does not describe a storage unit use for the site, which would have much higher traffic flows during weekends and holidays; o Hope Lane has been designed in a way that is more conducive for residential traffic. • The fourth letter is from Gary and Janet Johnson, which states: o The road is not wide enough for commercial storage traffic. • The last comment was received from James Perkins on behalf of 21 residents who live along Hope Lane. A summary of this letter is as follows: o The application materials do not support a substantial change in circumstances since the last zoning sufficient to justify a rezone "for the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare" as is required under state law in order to amend a comprehensive plan. o Multi -family Residential zoning being requested is intended to "establish and preserve high -density residential districts by excluding activities not compatible with residential uses." YMC 15.03.020(D)(1). We also do not believe it meets the consistency tests of YMC 16.06.020. The Hope Lane Community is not a "high density" residential development. It is a long existing single-family home community. There is also no demonstrated public need to change the zoning. o There are eight existing storage unit facilities within just five miles of the proposed development site, one of which is located as close as 8008 Occidental Road (West Valley Storage). o Hope lane is not designed for 24 hour storage access or commercial Yakima INDEX In 2015 1994 Page 4 of 133 through traffic; o Lighting associate with any commercial business would not be consistent adjacent a residential neighborhood; o Rezone of this particular property located in the middle of a substantially developed single-family home area, based on the application materials presented, would amount to illegal spot zoning. o The proposed development site is situated in a basin which appears to qualify as a "wetland" because surface water at times appears and there are strips of year-round green vegetation. The site should accordingly be inspected as part of a critical area determination, before any rezone is permitted. C. Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) Approval Criteria. The Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040, Future Land Use Map designates this area as Low Density Residential. In accordance with the provisions of the Yakima Municipal Code, the following criteria must be considered in the review of any proposed amendment to the Yakima Comprehensive Plan. YMC § 16.10.040 (1): To alter the Future Land Use Map or other plan policy map, or effect a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment, the proposed amendment must do one or more of the following: (a) Address circumstances that have changed since the last time the relevant Comprehensive Plan or text was considered: Staff Response: This application is specifically for a non -project action comprehensive plan amendment to change the future land use from low density residential to mixed residential, and rezone from Single Family Residential (R-1) to Multifamily Residential (R- 3). The need for additional housing, including multifamily, is at crisis levels within Yakima, and Washington State. Vacancy rates for rental housing in the City of Yakima fluctuates around the 1 % mark, well below the 5% threshold for a tight rental market. The creation of more R-3 land would allow for more residential housing units to be constructed in Yakima. The applicant identifies a potential future project for storage units on the subject property. Storage units are an allowed use in the R-3 zoning district with heightened review and notice provisions. Such a use would require a Type (3) Review and is defined as being normally not compatible with the zoning district. Storage units do not address the circumstances that have changed since the last time the Comprehensive Plan or text was considered. However, this is a non -project rezone and plan amendment. The proposed site plan is required to be submitted with the non -project rezone under YMC 15.23.030(B) which states: "Nonproject rezone applications shall also include a nonbinding conceptual site plan to show potential future use of the property." The Planning Division did not review the potential future land use of a storage unit, as provided by the applicant, as part of this recommendation. Such use would be reviewed by the City as part of the development permit process upon subsequent application, (b) Better implement applicable Comprehensive Plan policies than the current relevant Comprehensive Plan map or text: Yakima 11111InP 2019 1994 Page 5 of 133 - Staff Response: The purpose of the Mixed Residential future land use designation is to provide for areas with a mixture of housing types and densities. This proposal implements the following goals and policies: Goal 2.1: Establish a development pattern consistent with the Community's Vision Goal 2.3. Residential uses. Preserve and enhance the quality, character and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods. Policy 2.3.1. Provide for a wide variety of housing types within the city to meet the full range of housing needs for Yakima's evolving population. Policy 2.1.3.: Review proposed Future Land Use designation changes for consistency with YMC Ch. 16.10 and the following criteria: • Does the proposal conform to locational criteria set forth for the desired designation? Yes, the site is in between multifamily zoned and single family zoned residential properties. This zoning provides a reasonable buffer between uses. Additionally the site has access to Occidental Rd. via easement, which is classified as Collector and Minor Arterial streets. Overall the proposal is consistent with Policy 2.2.2.B. of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. • Is the site physically suited for the proposed designation? Yes, the site would need to be prepared to extend utilities, which are available in the adjacent right-of-way and general vicinity. • Is the desired zone one of the implementing zones of the land use designation? Yes, the request is to rezone to R-3, which is a land use designation of the Mixed Residential Future Land Use designation. • Is the proposal a spot zone or a similar change that may create instability with the surrounding neighborhood? No, the proposal is consistent with other uses in the general vicinity. R-3 zoning is directly adjacent the subject site to the west. Policy 2.1.7.: Allow new development only where adequate public services can be provided. Policy 2.1.10.: Require properties to assume zoning consistent with the City's Future Land Use Plan, as adopted or amended where appropriate. Policy 2.2.2. B.: Mixed Residential location criteria —Intended for areas now characterized by, and/or appropriate for, a mixture of housing types with a close proximity to commercial services, transit access, and/or parks and other public recreational amenities. This designation often creates a transition from commercial and mixed -use areas to low density residential areas. Goal 5.1. Encourage diverse and affordable housing choices. Policy 5.4.2. Use transitional densities, design and landscape standards to ensure housing is compatible with existing character and planned goals. Policy 5.4.3. Encourage development of well -designed new housing in coordination with population growth, employment growth, and transportation goals. Yakima 2015 1994 Page 6 of 133 (c) Correct an obvious mapping error: Staff Response: Does not apply. (d) Address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan: Staff Response: This change will promote infill use on property that has been vacant for many years. (e) Is the proposed CPA coordinated with, and take into consideration, the Comprehensive Plans adopted by Yakima County or cities with which the City of Yakima has, in part, common borders or related regional issues as may be required by RCW 36.70A.100? Staff Response: This proposal is consistent with RCW 36.70A.100. This application is part of the annual CPA cycle for the Yakima Comprehensive Plan which the City of Yakima coordinates with adjacent jurisdictions. No comments were submitted from affected jurisdictions. (f) Proposed CPAs must be consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA), Ch. 36.70A. RCW, and the Yakima County Wide Planning Policy (CWPP). Staff Response: This proposal is consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Yakima Countywide Planning Policy because the proposal directs urban growth to an existing urban area (within City Limits first) and encourages infill in the area where all urban level services and facilities are currently provided. The proposal reduces sprawl and is served with an adequate transportation system. This proposal also encourages economic development in the urban area and provides goods and services for the surrounding neighborhood and general Yakima Area. (g) Cumulative impacts of all CPAs, including those approved since the original adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, shall be considered in the evaluation of any proposed amendments. Staff Response: This proposal will increase the amount of Mixed Residential property within the City limits. The cumulative impact since the 2017 Comprehensive Plan is as follows: R-1/Low Density Residential: -3.75 acres R-3/Mixed Residential: +0.99 acres D. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONCLUSIONS: 1. The amendment is minor in nature. 2. No adverse impacts have been identified by approving this amendment request. Concerns raised during the comment period can be addressed during future project review for a specific proposed use of the property. 3. A DNS was issued for this proposal on August 24, 2020, and the 14-day appeal period ended on September 8, 2020. No appeals were received. E. REZONE APPROVAL CRITERIA In accordance with the provisions of the YMC § 15.23.030, recommendations to approve or deny proposed rezones shall include the following considerations: (1) Testimony at public hearing. Yakima bag 1IIUIUII�." 2015 1994 Page 7 of 133 After consideration of any public comments received during the course of the hearing it may be appropriate for the Planning Commission to modify the staff's recommendation. Public comments received during the comment period are addressed above. (2) The suitability of property in question for uses permitted under the proposed zoning. The property is well suited for uses listed within Table 4-1 for the R-3 zoning district, with the corresponding review levels, and will facilitate new mixed -use development. (3) The recommendations from interested agencies and departments. No agencies or departments have registered any opposition to this rezone. (4) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed Multifamily Residential zoning district is an implementing zone of the Mixed Residential land use designation, and is consistent with several goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, as indicated above in section IV.0 of this report. (5) The adequacy of public facilities, such as roads, sewer, water, and other required public services. This property is currently capable of being served by all public utilities necessary for the support of residential land uses. (6) The compatibility of the proposed zone change and associated uses with neighboring land uses. The proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring land uses. Permitted uses in the R-3 zone are generally more compatible with the adjacent single- family and multifamily homes. (6a) What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as sitescreening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc.? No mitigation is proposed as part of this non -project rezone request. Any needed mitigations would be required as part of regular site plan approval during the development permit and review process. (7) The public need for the proposed change. The public need for this change is to create more land for multifamily development. F. REZONE CONCLUSIONS: 1. The rezone is appropriate for the area. 2. No adverse impacts have been identified by the approval of this rezone. 3. The requested rezone implements the Mixed Residential land use designation of the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040. 4. The property is currently served, or capable of being served, by all necessary public utilities capable of supporting allowed land uses in the proposed zone. V, RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends APPROVAL of this Comprehensive Plan amendment request from Low Density Residential to Mixed Residential to accommodate a concurrent rezone from R-1 (Single Family Residential) to R-3 (Multifamily Residential).

If so, how? Yes, this proposal addresses circumstances which have changed since the last relevant comprehensive plan map change was considered. Due to the substantial residential growth that has occurred and continues to occur within the West Valley Area, there continues to be a need for residential mini -storage. To provide such a service to the West Valley market, it is necessary to find either Multi -Family Residential property or Commercial property within which to locate such facilities. The further one goes west within the Yakima City Limits and Yakima Urban Growth Area, the more difficult it is to find multi -family and commercial properties, particularly near residential subdivisions. To that end, the proponent of this application desires to amend the comprehensive plan Future Land Use Map and request a zoning change on a 2.88 acre parcel of property. The property adjoins and existing mini -storage complex on the north and property designated Mixed Residential on the west for the purpose of constructing an indoor mini -storage complex to serve the needs of the immediate market area. 2. hoes our proposal better im lernent a p licable comprehensive plan policies titan the current relevant coo reh nsive plan map or test? Ifso how? Yes, this proposal better implements the applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan because this proposal will provide additional property designated Mixed Residential which provides for the development of the intended use (residential mini -storage). This particular property is not similar to any other properties in the area. The property generally lies in a "hole" or "depression". Properties to the north, west and east are substantially higher in elevation and readily "accept" the type of development with is intended with the current land use designations. In this situation, development of single-family residences in this "depression" is not likely to occur due to the different range in elevation and the difficulty in getting some utilities in the area to support residential development. Based on this, the use the property lends itself to a different land use designation that opens up an opportunity for development that is not residential but is compatible with surrounding residential land uses. 3. Does your proposal correct an obvious ma in error? If so how? No, it does not appear that an obvious mapping error occurred. However, it does appear that the property was designated and zoned using a general "blanket method" of designation and zoning which occurred in the area because the property has substantially different characteristics of surrounding properties. In essence, the topography of the DOC. IND2X Page 37 of 133 property and its difficulty to urban services lends itself to land uses not associated with a low -density residential designation. This is comprehensive land use change is a voluntary request on behalf of the property CITY �'i owner, which complies with the comprehensive plan, and recognizes the demonstrated �o� i1'V4 ^ need for additional high -density property within the Yakima Urban Area to accommodate an accessory type land use to support surrounding residential developments. 4. Does your,proposal address or identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan? l f so what is the deficienc ". This proposal does involve an identified deficiency in the comprehensive plan. The deficiency is the lack of land designated Mixed Residential and/or commercial near the outskirts of the Yakima City Limits. In this case, a change of the land use designation to Mixed Residential, permits the implementation of the Multi -family Zoning District which permits non-residential land uses in residential areas where deemed compatible. Specifically, an additional Type 3 Review is necessary to establish a mini -storage complex to ensure compatibility between a non-residential use and surrounding land uses. Thus, the lack of designated Mixed Residential land nearly forbids necessary accessory development like mini -storage complexes from being developed in residential areas. 5. Does your proposal tape into consideration and is it in coordination with the regional plans or policies adopted by Yakiuna Count and/or other cities with which the Cily of Yakima has in art common borders or related issues as mgj be re uired by RCW 36.70A.100? If so how? Yes, this proposal is consistent with RCW 36.70A.100. This application is part of the required comprehensive plan update for the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. The City of Yakima coordinates this update with Yakima County for consistency between the jurisdictions. 6. Is your proposal consistent with the Growth Manageme.nt. Act (f:�'MA RCW �Ch. 36.70A and the Yakima Coun -wide Planning Folic CWPP)? if so how? Yes, this proposal is consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Yakima County -wide Planning Policy because the proposal directs urban growth to an existing urban area (within City Limits first) and encourages infill in an area where all urban level services and facilities are currently provided or could be extended with the proper zoning in place. The proposal reduces sprawl and is served with an adequate transportation system. This proposal also encourages economic development in the urban area and would provide construction jobs and a service for the surrounding area on a property with somewhat limited development potential. DOC. INDEX Page 38 of 133 ("fry r NN 7. Have the cumulative impacts of all coin 1rehensive amendments been d considered in the evaluation of the proposed arnendnient? if so howl" The cumulative impacts of all comprehensive amendments over the years have been considered and culminated into the adoption of Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 by the City of Yakima and the Yakima County Comprehensive Plan — Horizon 2040 in 2017. Together, the two plans considered all impacts of previous comprehensive plans and their associated updates as both agencies have lands within the Yakima Urban Area. Since that time, the City of Yakima and Yakima County have worked cooperatively during annual comprehensive plan updates and review amendments after year 2017 to cumulatively assess their impacts. 8. For Future Land Use Map,changes, lease provide descril2tive information regarding the ro er including the status of existing land use access to scwer and water, as well as the available of Public facilities such as schools fire and Police services. The subject property is currently vacant, generally lies in a deep depression and slopes to the south. The property lies approximately 350 feet south of Occidental Road and is served by a 30-foot wide private easement to that road. Access to the property is also provided from the east by an urban residential street segment known as Hope Lane. Property to the east, via Hope Lane, contains a residential subdivision known as Hawkeye Addition of approximately 35 houses and which connects to Occidental Road to the north. Property to the west and south is generally rural in nature and contains single-family residences and agricultural land uses. The McGonagle Ditch generally runs along the south property line of the subject property. Property to the north contains and an existing indoor and outdoor mini -storage complex. The site is served with domestic water and sanitary sewer from Hope Lane to the east and with domestic water from the north (Occidental Road). Other utilities such as electricity and telephone are also available from those locations. The property is provided with police and fire protection by the City of Yakima and lies within the West Valley School District. Thus, the property is well served and suited for the proposed land use designation. DOC.

X Page 47 of 133 �t PART IV - NARRATIVE -- REZONE1 A. How is the subject ro ert suitable for use's perinitted under the proposed zoning? The subject property is suitable for many, but not all, uses permitted under the proposed zoning because the property has topographical constraints. Specifically, the property gently slopes to the south and lies within a depression with fairly high sides along the west, north and east property lines. The property is not encumbered by critical areas or floodplains. The property has two legal points of ingress and egress. One from Occidental Road, from the north, by way of a private 30 foot wide access easement. The other access point is from the east, by way of Hope Lane, a local access street that flows through the Plat of Hawkeye and connects to Occidental Road. The property is 2.88 acres in size which can accommodate development and has access to all utilities and public services. One undesirable aspect of the property is that the sewer line located within Hope Lane (the only sewer line in the area) is higher in elevation than the subject property. This creates an undesirable situation for residential development because alternative sanitary waste measures must be taken to accommodate housing on the subject property. However, with the property owner's intended use of establishing residential mini -storage on the property, there is no need for sewer, thus making the property suitable under the proposed zoning district of Multi -family Residential (R-3). What is the status of the existing land use? The current status of the property is a vacant lot. B. How is the rezone reguest in compliance with and/or how does the reguest deviate from the Yakima Urban ,area Comprehensive Plan? This rezone application is in conjunction with a proposed comprehensive land use change from Low -density Residential to Mixed Residential. The Mixed Residential land use is intended to promote a mixture of housing types and densities. The designation is usually intended for areas now characterized by, and/or appropriate for, a mixture of housing types with close proximity to commercial services, transit access, and/or parks and other public recreational amenities. The designation often creates a transition from commercial and mixed residential areas to low density residential areas. The implementing zoning districts for this comprehensive plan designation are Moderate Density Residential (R-2) and Multi -family Residential (R-3). In this instance, no housing is proposed, so housing density is not an issue. This project proposes a commercial service to accommodate local residential storage needs. The land C04C. Im DEX Page 48 of 133 use is permitted by Type 3 Review in the zoning ordinance. This site is located in a mixed -use neighborhood consisting of single-family housing, commercial use (existing mini -storage complex) and agricultural land uses. The site is also served with vehicular indirect access from an arterial street (Occidental Road) and a local access street (Hope Lane) with access to public water. Since sanitary sewer is difficult to use from the site, this project will ultimately act as a buffer between properties to the east and west. Currently, abutting properties to the west are a combination of R-1 and R-3 and this proposal will place a non-residential accessory land use buffer between any R-3 development on the west and the single-family residences located within the Plat of Hawkeye. Thus, promoting compatibility between the uses as contemplated by the comprehensive plan. For the reasons above, this project is in compliance with the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. C. Are there ade uatc public facilities such as traffic ca aci sewer services potable water, st rmwater drainage, schools fire and police services and other public services and infrastructure existing on the and around the subject propmt The site is served with all public facilities necessary to support the proposed project and other uses provided in the proposed zoning district. Specifically, the site is served by an arterial street (Occidental Road, via a private easement), a local access street (Hope Lane), public water, electricity, telephone and police and fire protection. The site is served with sanitary sewer but it is necessary to pump wastewater uphill to the only sewer main in the immediate area. The lack of sewer limits the development potential of the property. However, the proposed project, residential mini -storage, can be accommodated without the need for sanitary sewer. Are the existing public facilities capable of supporting the most intensive use of the new (requested) zone? If not, what mitigating measures are going to be implemented to address any short falls in public services that may exist? The site is served by all necessary infrastructure to support the most intensive uses of the requested zoning district, except those uses that may require sewer. Due to the fact that the only sanitary sewer line in the area is located within Hope Lane and is substantially higher in elevation, there is a need to lift or pump sanitary waste to that sanitary sewer line. To mitigate this difficulty, the proponent is proposing a land use that does not need sanitary sewer. The proposed land use is a Type 3 Use in the zoning district and requires the highest level of review. This review will determine the mitigation necessary to place this project in this new zoning district. 4 1,611 ME X Page 49 of 133�' D. How is the proposed zone change compatible with the existing neighboring uses? The proposed zone change is compatible with neighboring uses because it proposes a specific land use as part of the application which is residential mini -storage. The subject property abuts an existing indoor and outdoor mini -storage complex on the north which has been in existence before many of the residential uses in the area. The proposed project will buffer the existing single-family uses on the east from future multi -family development to the west on the abutting R-3 property. Substantial distance from existing land uses to the south help mitigate the projects impacts on those properties. The proposed mini -storage project proposes a series of buildings that will provide indoor storage which will also promote compatibility between the land uses. A non -project rezone proposal at this site would have had a much larger impact on the existing neighboring uses because the residents would not know what to expect. In this instance, the project (residential mini -storage) is being disclosed along with the rezone request with the need for further Type 3 Review. This ensures compatibility between the uses in the neighborhood regardless of the zoning district. What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as sitescreening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc.? Since the residential mini -storage project is subject to further zoning review before a Hearing Examiner, required development standards will be applied at that time. At this time, the property owner sees no reason to request adjustments or variances from those standards. Thus, appropriate mitigation will be implemented during residential mini - storage application review. E. What is the public need for the proposed change? There is a public need for additional residential mini -storage in the West Valley Area. Specifically, as most new residential developments occur, private restrictive covenants are placed on the development that restrict recreational vehicles from being stored on the individual residential lots. With this in mind, the proponent has studied the residential storage facility business in West Valley and found that the most recently constructed facility along 88t" Avenue between Summitview and Tieton Drive is currently 55 percent full with the expectation to be full by the end of 2020. The nearest mini -storage complex, which abuts this proposal on the north (West Valley Storage), is also at capacity. There are other mini -storage complexes that have recently been approved but have not been constructed in the West Valley Area. This activity demonstrates a public need for the storage service because a shortage of storage units exists. This project will help fulfill that need in the West Valley Area.

In the application, Mr. Heimgartner states he intends to build a mini -storage on this property. It is my understanding that any commercial business requires two access points thus bringing increased traffic to our quiet neighborhood of approximately 35 single-family homes. This subdivision was developed in 2005 and is clearly residential as noted by signage at the entrance of the community. Also, the easement off of Hope Lane would likely disturb the hillside to the north if it were to be developed for the type of traffic Mr. Heimgartner's proposed business would bring. This hillside has had serious settling issues with the properties to the north and south of the easement undergoing extensive repairs as well as the hillside being refilled numerous times to abate further erosion. Also, there will be a great environmental impact should such a business be allowed. This is an area of many birds, especially birds of prey and that is why this community is called Hawkeye. There are many songbirds as well as magpies that nest in the nearby trees. There are also many amphibians as the property in question appears to be situated on a wetland. As I am sure you are aware, due to climate change and rampant development it is becoming more important that we preserve these environments for wildlife. My home is situated east of 8014 Occidental Road and I am also concerned that this type of business would bring excess light pollution to a community that enjoys dark skies and stargazing. I call into question the need for this type of business in the West Valley when there are approximately ten such businesses within a five -mile radius of the Hawkeye subdivision. Mr. Heimgartner contends that there is a need because of the recent increase in homes that are valued at approximately $100,000 more than those located in Hawkeye. Why should a community of DOC. Page 53 of 133 modest but well -kept homes bare the burden of storing excess objects and recreational vehicles for our wealthier neighbors? In closing, I would like to remind you that in an article last year published in the Yakima Herald -Republic, you are quoted stating that Yakima has a need for properties to develop single-family homes. It does not make sense to rezone this property in this manner and honestly smacks of spot -zoning where if it were to be allowed, one person would benefit over the needs of an established community of single-family residences. Thank you for your consideration in this matter and I am hopeful the city will recognize the value in keeping the property zoned as is.

Dear Mrs. Davenport: We represent Andrew Thomas and Tracy Marie Sawyer, the owners of real property located on Hope Lane in Yakima, and the other neighbor signers of this letter. This letter is submitted in opposition to Hordan Planning Services on behalf of Les Heimgartner's (Heimgartner) application for a comprehensive plan amendment to in substance still build a multi -unit ministorage facility at 8014 Occidental Rd. Andrew and Tracy and the other letter signers own real property and live in the residential neighborhood adjacent to the proposed rezone site (the "Hope Lane Community"). Enclosed are signatures from the other Hope Lane Community residents who also oppose the rezone and proposed development. The Hope Lane Community is situated immediately south of Occidental Road and northeast of the proposed development site. Hope Lane Community residents access their homes via Hope Lane, which is a private, dead end street, connected to Occidental Road. The proposed rezone is not consistent or compatible with the uses and zoning of the Hope Lane Community or the surrounding properties and will negatively impact the Hope Lane Community. Inconsistent and Incompatible Use First, the application materials do not support a substantial change in circumstances since the last zoning sufficient to justify a rezone "for the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare" as is required under state law in order to amend a comprehensive plan. See e.g., Phoenix Dev., Inc. v. City of Woodinville, 171 Wn. 2d 820, 834, 256 P.3d 1150, 1156-57 (2011). 105 North Third Street, P. O. Box 550, i Yakima, WA 98907 1,.,„ Phone: (509) 454'�44I g5-oferg3(509) 457-1027 Ms. Joan Davenport, AICr, Community Development Director CITY OF YAKIMA, DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT August 12, 2020 Page 2 RECEIVED AUG -19 2020 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DI , Further, the proposed Multi -family Residential zoning being requested is intended to "establish and preserve high -density residential districts by excluding activities not compatible with residential uses." YMC 15.03.020(D)(1). We also do not believe it meets the consistency tests of YMC 16.06.020. The Hope Lane Community is not a "high density" residential development. It is a long existing single-family home community. There is also no demonstrated public need to change the zoning. Although the application materials represent there is a need to "accommodate local residential off-street storage", the Hope Lane Community is the nearest residential neighborhood and it does not require additional storage. There are in fact already eight existing storage unit facilities within just five miles of the proposed development site, one of which is located as close as 8008 Occidental Road (West Valley Storage). What is actually being requested is that a "spot zoning" for this intended commercial use be approved for this mature residential single- family home area. Such "spot zoning" is not consistent with the current zoning or comprehensive plan and should not be approved. The proposed rezone, which would purportedly accommodate the proposed development, will also negatively impact Hope Lane Community's health, safety, and welfare. The proposed Multi -family zoning is intended to locate "high -density residential development so that traffic generated by the development does not pass through lower - density areas." YMC 15.03.020(D)(4). Here however, the proposed development intends to use "lower -density" use Hope Lane as the direct and sole access point for the storage unit facility. Hope Lane is the primary road serving single-family homes. Residents commonly park on both sides of the street. Children bike, play, and gather in adjacent yards and there are numerous pets. When cars park on both sides of the street, the width of Hope Lane can be reduced to as little as 18 feet, and sometimes less. Hope Lane cannot support 24-hour commercial traffic as well. Also pertinent, the City of Yakima does not consistently now maintain Hope Lane. In the winter months, Hope Lane Community residents must normally shovel snow themselves and it can be days before the City can service the road. This means a serious safety hazard both for Hope Lane Community residents and the commercial traffic would exist if the storage facility amended zoning is approved. Critically, the Hope Lane Community includes many families with young children. The proposed commercial traffic associated with a 120-unit storage facility, open 24-hours a day, will place those children and residents at risk. The business required 24-hour lighting associated with a multiunit storage facility is also inconsistent with the surrounding and existing single-family home zoning and use and would affect the "quiet enjoyment" of their properties, arguably amounting to a nuisance. Spot Zoning As mentioned, rezone of this particular property located in the middle of a substantially developed single-family home area, based on the application materials presented, would amount to illegal spot zoning. The proposed rezone will carve out 2.88 acres of land D0( C. IME- X Page 56 of 133�� RECEIVED Ms. Joan Davenport, AICr-, Community Development Director CITY OF YAKIMA, DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT QUC 2020 August 12, 2020 Page 3 017*yOF Yftk� PLANNING jJIV, currently zoned as Low Density, Single -Family Residential (R1) to be in essence a commercial non-residential property. The proposed rezone, and in substance commercial development, grants Mr. Heimgartner a discriminatory benefit to the detriment of all other Hope Lane Community home owners without public benefit or justification. The application materials do not contain any demonstrated information to support there is a "substantial public health, safety, general welfare, or moral" reason for the requested rezone. Analyzing the facts objectively for his sole benefit, Mr. Heimgartner seeks to now single out two parcels of vacant land for a commercial development which has no relationship to and is inconsistent with the adjacent single-family homes, the neighboring nursing home's residential use, and the current light recreational use enjoyed by the neighboring golf course. Negiative Environmental Impact The proposed rezone and development will have a negative environmental impact as well. The proposed development site is situated in a basin which appears to qualify as a "wetland" because surface water at times appears and there are strips of year-round green vegetation. The site should accordingly be inspected as part of a critical area determination, before any rezone is permitted. The site is also located no less than 20 feet lower than surrounding properties and so receives significant water run off during winter months from neighboring slopes. Additionally, several adjacent homes currently evidence side slope movement. It is therefore questionable whether the soils of this site could support the intended use. The proposed development will also interfere with existing wildlife in the area and it will conflict with the original single-family home promise made by the City to the existing residents, which were relied upon when the Hope Lane Community homes were built and later purchased. On behalf of Andrew, Tracy, and all the other letter signers, we thank you for considering this opposition and request that the application for a comprehensive plan zoning amendment as currently presented be denied.

INDEX Page 78 of 133 Joan Davenport RECEIVED Community Development Director 129 North Second Street AUG 19 2020 Yakima, WA, 98901 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNINGDiv Dear Mrs. Davenport: I am writing this letter in opposition to the application for a comprehensive plan amendment at 8014 Occidental Road (CPA#001-20, RZ#002-20 &SEPA#011-20). The proposed re -zoning of the property from single family residential to a zoning intended to allow for a commercial venture (mini storage units) is incompatible with the surrounding neighborhoods and future planned development in the area. Intrusive nighttime lighting, noise from a 24-hour operation, a transient clientele, and the need to use a residential neighborhood as an access point are all contributing factors for not re -zoning the property. While mitigation of these concerns is possible, there is no guarantee that agreed mitigations will be enforceable, especially so if the lots are re -zoned and then potentially sold to a third party. But those aren't the only reasons. The property in question is a low-lying area and serves as a wetland for the surrounding higher ground. Mr. Heimgartner appears to have installed piping and re-routed some surface water runoff from a nearby field to a different part of the property. However, surface water from irrigation is not the only factor. The low lying property likely also serves as filtration for the surrounding area's groundwater that may be continuous with aquifers and smaller waterways in and around the Ahtanum valley. Any re -zone should require independent studies to examine continuity and the affects it may have on surrounding water sources, wells, septic systems as well as potential flooding of property nearby. Mr. Heimgartner's claim that irrigation water is solely the reason for an emerging wetland disregards substantial runoff events that intermittently flood the area during winter snow melts that create intermittent flows and large areas of viscous mud (he may not be aware of this because he does not live near the property). The company hired to represent Mr. Heimgartner's interests "recommends that ground water levels be monitored for a growing season to determine if the area in question would actually met the wetland hydrology indicators." Depending on winter snowfalls, it may be prudent to extend . VNI ID 1-EX Page 79 of 133 F this monitoring several years to be accurately scientific. Re -zoning should not be granted without such extensive, critical studies taking place first. But it really comes down to facing a reality. Mr. Heimgartner had to have known the zoning of the property and other issues that would limit its development when he purchased it: caveat emptor. If he did not, then that was a mistake on his part. He should not be able to mitigate his investment choice by adversely impacting the surrounding residents of an existing neighborhood with a re -zone. If he had planned on a commercial mini storage development, he should have purchased property zoned for that intended future use in the first place. In fact, if Mr. Heimgartner wants to develop commercial mini -storage units, there is commercial property available for him to purchase and develop that is not directly adjacent to a quiet, residential neighborhood. Yakima continues to have a need for housing. Once land zoned for housing is changed to support development of commercial enterprises, that residential land is forever lost, as is the inviting, residential atmosphere of the nearby surrounding areas. Out here, we enjoy our dark, night skies. We enjoy the sounds of sprinklers irrigating orchards, of children riding bikes around the dead end streets with little traffic. A little more light and traffic for a few more families is fine, but please don't allow for the construction of a mini -storage complex so that people who do not live around us can store the things that will not fit in their own houses or on their own property. This land was zoned in its current form for a reason, and not much has changed since then. I implore the city to keep it zoned as it is.

INDEX # F- Maxey, Lisa From: John Bresnahan <jbresn@outlook.com> Sent: Monday, August 17, 2020 9:58 AM To: Martin, Trevor Subject: Re: Notice of Application & SEPA - Les Heimgartner - CPA#001-20, RZ#002-20 & SEPA# 011-20 Mr. Martin, I do have additional comments regarding the "traffic study". First, the study assumes that 12 houses would be built on the 2.88 acres. In reality, it is unknown how many could actually realistically and economically be built in that particular area, given the geotechnical challenges, the presence of the ditch that can flood, and other factors. It is unclear why this developer is not building homes if that is truly possible, as there appears to great demand in the market for SFRs given the number of developments that have been ongoing in the immediate area for the past 2 years. Owners in this neighborhood have seen their property values escalate by 8-10% a year for the past 2 years. One must reasonably assume, if this developer is serious about maximizing the return on his investment, that there is a good reason why he, or any other developer over the last 14 years, has not built SFRs. The reason must be that too few units could actually be constructed to make it profitable. I think, then, that the study choosing 12 homes as its model did not do sufficient research into the economic, legal, and physically possible aspects of this part of the analysis. For that reason, either zero homes or some number far fewer than 12 would be more likely -in which case the conclusion drawn by the study of "50-less" (fewer) trips during a weekda is faulty. Along those lines, the proposed use appears to be RV/boat storage, a use that will more than likely result in many MORE trips on weekends and holidays, something the study does not address. I also dispute the "seasonality" aspect of the study. No support is given in the study for the idea that there would be times of the year where Hope Lane would be subject to lesser or greater travel demands by large RVs just because of the "seasonality" of RV use. The fact is that people use RVs almost year-round, with possibly a short period of non-use during December -February. The fact is there is nothing in this report or the general application that supports the conclusion that the use of Hope Lane would only be "seasonal". The hard fact is that the residents of Hawkeye will be subjected to the noise, dust, and danger of endless trips back and forth by RV owners at all times of day and night and all days of the week and months and year. Especially awful will be all holidays and holiday weekends. This study does not address the most important aspect of traffic analysis for this project: the suitability of Hope Lane itself for this kind of heavy duty use by large, cumbersome self-propelled RVs or trailers pulled by heavy-duty diesel -exhaust spewing pickups. The fact remains, and is unchallenged, that Hope Lane is not now and never was intended to be a public road that serves a purely commercial use. The city does a very minimal job as it is now of snow removal and general maintenance. This road, along with many like it, are on the lowest priority for maintenance in the city. All the trips described by the traffic report will be made by huge, heavy, lumbering RVs and trailers down a narrow residential road where residents habitually park on both sides of the street, children ride bikes, skateboards, and other toy vehicles on the sidewalks, and, yes, in the streets even though they shouldn't. There is a 90-degree turn as Hope Lane goes south from Occidental and heads west to its terminus. Often cars are parked on the curve itself. Did anyone from this engineering company study the feasibility of piloting a large RV or truck trailer combination around this F xy hen cars Page 811of 133 W are parked there? It is difficult enough to avoid the cars in an ordinary vehicle much less a massive, sloppy RV. Physically, Hope Lane is unsuitable for commercial use. Hope Lane is a road dedicated to the public by the plat that created it for the purpose of serving single family residences and single-family residences ONLY. It was not designed to accommodate repeated, heavy truck traffic and such a commercial use is a definite overburdening of the easement because this proposed use was not one contemplated or approved by the creators and grantors of the public road easement and for this reason alone this application should be rejected. Legally, Hope Lane is unsuitable for commercial use. In conclusion, the traffic study was mostly useless with no real analysis done, other than cribbing notes from some handbook. It should be rejected as inadequate. No one wants this commercial use in our neighborhood if Hope Lane is to be used as the commercial entrance and exit. No mention at all is made of their legal access directly to Occidental by easement. Why not? If it is too narrow, they can purchase additional width there and have a direct commercial access to Occidental, where there are already far too many dangerous trucks weaving down the 8-foot lanes at 15 mph over the speed limit. This development should be made in a commercially zoned area where individual homeowners will not face a diminishment in their quality of life. Just so some guy can park an RV. I was going to insert a discussion about crime at storage facilities, but the Yakima PD has not responded to my inquiry (admittedly made late) yet. As soon as they do, I will have another comment to make regarding that.

Your comments have been added to the project file and become part of the existing record. City staff maintains a neutral position on applications until all study sessions, public hearings, and findings of fact have been analyzed. If there is some you perceive as missing or insufficient within the application, please let me know and I will take a look. You will be notified as future notices and public hearings are scheduled for this application. Please let me know if you have any other additional comments or questions.

IEU Page 82 of 133 ra'r__ r From: John Bresnahan [mailto.jbresn@outlook.com] Sent: Friday, July 31, 2020 5:04 PM To: Martin, Trevor Subject: Fw: Notice of Application & SEPA - Les Heimgartner - CPA#001-20, RZ#002-20 & SEPA#011-20 Mr. Martin, This application is substantially similar to the one previously submitted and withdrawn by Mr. Heimgartner over the strenous objections of the neighboring property owners along Hope Lane who will be unreasonably, detrimentally, and disproportionately affected by this commercial development in an area that is now and was always intended to be residential. In the attachment, the applicant mentions a "traffic study" (item #8 on the environmental checklist), yet there is no traffic study attached. Please send me the traffic study. Along those lines, the primary objection all residents of this neighborhood will have is the gross overburdening of the city's road easement (Hope Ln.). This road was dedicated to the public, as all like roads are, as an easement. The intention of the easement was to serve a residential neighborhood, and a residential neighborhood ONLY. Any other use, i.e. commercial storage, would be a use not contemplated by the dedicators of the easement and would be severely out of character for this neighborhood. Imagine the traffic that will roll down this quiet, dead-end street on a daily basis: moving vans, moving trucks, trucks pulling RVs and boats, RVs, etc. The list goes on. Often, storage businesses offer 24-hour access. Is it reasonable that this neighborhood must tolerate late night move -ins, or early morning RVers heading out on vacation and lumbering their idiotic vehicles down quiet residential streets at 6:00 am? Children ride bikes and other vehicles in the street because it is a DEAD END, and the only people who use it are the people who live here. They play games, in and out of yards, crossing the streets without needing to fear 10-ton trucks and diesel pusher RVs barreling around the 90-degree corner. If the applicant would pledge, and the city enforce, that the ingress and egress to this business will be from Occidental ONLY- already the home of dangerous truck traffic going to and from the orchards- then opposition to this project might dissipate. A security fence could be constructed at the end of Hope with a gate that the Fire Department could use if necessary. This is a bad idea as presented. It is not the responsibility of the city to see that people who can afford $100,000 RVs have a place to park them, nor is it the city's responsibility to see that Steve and Edna have a 10' x 10' storage unit for their knickknacks. There are plenty of places in run down areas of Yakima that could use a business or two to help revitalize the area. Concentrate your development in the areas that need economic revitalization. This is not the place- it is a residential neighborhood, and always should be. Thanks, and I await the traffic study. John Bresnahan, Hope Lane Resident.

LES HEIMGARTNER CPA#001-20, RZ#002-20 & SEPA#011-20 EXHIBIT LIST CHAPTER H Supplemental Information Page 118 of 133 maw MEMORANDUM DATE: December 2, 2019 TO: Les Heimgartner FROM: Brian Bieger, Senior Scientist / Project Manager PROJECT: 75387-000 REGARDING: Preliminary Wetland Assessment — Parcel 18120612454 INTRODUCTION PBS Engineering and Environmental (PBS) was tasked with completing a preliminary wetland assessment on an approximately 2.85 acre parcel (tax ID: 18120612454) located within the City of Yakima, Washington. The purpose of this assessment is to determine the presence or absence of jurisdictional wetlands within the project area and map their boundaries. The field study and this assessment memo were completed by Brian Bieger, Senior Scientist/ Project Manager who has over 15 years in wetland and habitat assessment consulting. Through the course of the background investigation and site visit, a small palustrine emergent wetland was identified within the north/central portion of the site. Although the wetland meets all three wetland criteria (soils, hydrology, vegetation) it is readily apparent that the wetland is supported from irrigation runoff into roadside ditches. The results of the investigation are detailed below. 2 METHODS The method used for identifying wetland boundaries followed the routine approach of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Supplement (Version 2.0) (Supplement) (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 2010). Soils, vegetation, and indicators of hydrology were observed at sample plot locations. Wetland boundaries were estimated based on these observations and mapped on aerial photographs in the field using identifiable reference points. Estimates of wetland ratings were based on experience with similar wetlands and working knowledge of the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington 2014 Update (Hruby 2014). Formal rating of the wetland by completing the rating forms and attendant graphics is outside the scope of this preliminary assessment. The following information was reviewed prior to the field study: a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory maps (USFWS 2019). Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey (NRCS 2019) soils map of the study area. Current and historic aerial photographs included as the background to Figure 5 (Google Earth 2019) i 866,727,0140 FAX -, FBSUSA C4: M Page 119 of 133 RECEIVED Les Heimgartner Preliminary Wetland Assessment December 2, 2019 Page 2 3 EXISTING CONDITIONS APR 2 8 2020 ("Try mv, Following a review of existing conditions of the project and surrounding area, a site visit was completed on November 22, 2019 to document the existing conditions of the site. The National Weather Service recorded 0.04 inches of precipitation for the two weeks prior to the site visit. 3.1 Location The project area is located on the south side of Occidental Road and is within the jurisdictional limits of the city of Yakima, Washington (Figure 1). The approximate center of the site is located at latitude 46.5662462 and longitude-120.616376. 3.2 Land Use The surrounding land use is a combination of high -intensity agriculture, single-family residential developments, and low density commercial developments. The property is located immediately south of a small private storage facility. 3.3 Topography The topography of the site is highly varied and ranges from moderately steep to nearly level (Figure 2). The property is accessed via a small gravel road that leads downhill between the storage unit to the east and a single-family home to the west. The eastern side of the gravel road contains a small drainage swale. The storage facility appears to be constructed on a large amount of imported fill material as it is elevated above the elevation of the road and adjacent properties. This road has a grader of approximately 15%. The subject parcel is located at the terminus of the gravel road and gently slopes to the south (Figure 2). There is a very shallow swale located in the north central portion of the property. 3.4 Soils According to the NRCS (NRCS 2019), there are three soil mapping units within the study area: Gorst loam, 2 to 15 percent slopes (43), Gorst loam, 15 to 30 percent slopes (44), and Harwood loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes (48) (Figure 3). None of these soils are listed as Hydric within the Yakima County Soil Survey. Soils within sample test pits aligned with the descriptions of the Gorst and Harwood loam soils. 3.5 National Wetland Inventory Maps The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps (USFWS, 2019) were reviewed to determine if there are mapped wetlands within the project area. The NWI maps indicate a Palustrine, Emergent, Persistent, Seasonally Flooded wetland in the north -central portion of the property (Figure 4). It should be noted however that NWI maps are generated through remote interpretation of aerial photography and are not meant to represent the extent of jurisdictional wetlands. 4 RESULTS The vegetation on the site is dominated by common native and non-native grasses and forbs that have been subject to routine mowing. Species include bentgrass (Agrostis sp.), Canada Thistle (Cirsium arvense), tall fescue (Festuca aurindinacea), common mullein (Verbascum thapsus), hairy vetch (Vicia villoso), broadleaf plantain (Plantago major), buckthorn plantain (Plantago lanceoleta), teasel (Dipsacus fullonum), orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata), Yellow foxtail (Setara pumila), tumble mustard (Sisymbrium altissimum),and velvet grass (Holcus lanatus). In addition to the emergent vegetation there is a small stand of coyote willow (Salix exegua), and red - osier dogwood (Cornus sericea) in a shallow swale that drains east from the terminus of the access road. This 00 X 71272.000 E,m Page 120 of 133 1� irk fr M�� Les Heimgartner Preliminary Wetland Assessment December 2, 2019 r q o ��a� ;tMa� Page wa shallow swale turns south and drains into a subtle depression that drains south through the central portion of the project area. An emergent wetland was identified within this depression (Figure 5). Dominant vegetation within the wetland includes velvet grass, teasel, and bentgrass. Hydric soil indicators were met with low chroma color soil matrices and 10% 5/8 redox concentrations (indicator F6- Redox dark surface). No primary indicators of wetland hydrology in the form of saturation, inundation, or the presence of ground water were observed. Secondary hydrology indicators of saturation visible on aerial photographs was checked on the data form, no other secondary indicators were identified. It should be noted however that since the wetland is supported from irrigation runoff and the property was visited outside of the timing of irrigation, primary indicators of hydrology would not be expected to be identified. The NWI has the wetland mapped as temporarily flooded but no evidence of flooding was recorded in the field. The boundaries of the wetland area were readily identified in the field through changes in dominant vegetation and small changes in topography. Based on a review of the conditions of the site, it is fairly obvious that an emergent wetland has formed in this area due to irrigation runoff originating north of the project area. The land immediately north of Occidental Road is irrigated agriculture land that drains to the south. There is evidence that surface waters are leaving the property in the form or erosion rills forming on the ditch banks on the north side of Occidental Road (Photographs 1 and 2). This water is then conveyed south under Occidental Road through an 8" corrugated plastic pipe, out falling at the point where the access road to the project site turn south and heads downhill. Evidence of regular surface water flows and hydrologic sorting of gravels on the access road were recorded (Photograph 4). Surface and subsurface waters at this point flow through coarse substrate adjacent to the access road and then head east within the Swale at the base of the road slope. The Swale did not contain indicators of flowing water but wetland soils and vegetation were encountered within this swale. Wetland soils and vegetation follow presumed surface and subsurface flows within the shallow swale that heads south from the terminus of the obvious swale. As you head south and downslope on the site, the slope decreases and the wetland stops at a point where it is presumed that subsurface waters drain down through the upper layers of the soil profile, beyond the depths required to meet wetland criteria. Evidence of this pattern has been observed through direct observations of indicators in the field, historic aerial photographs that indicate green vegetation in this pattern, and conversations with the project owner who has known about the irrigation water draining on to the property for years. The location of the wetland is certainly indicative of an artificially created wetland. Normally when an area is surrounded by steep slopes, surface and subsurface waters typically appear at the base or toe of the slope. On the property in question, wetland soils and vegetation were only identified in the areas where irrigation water is draining onto the site and following shallow swales. 5 REGULATORY ISSUES Local The wetland located on the subject property meets the criteria to be classified as a biological wetland although it appears that the hydrologic source that created and is sustaining the wetland is artificial in nature. Wetlands are regulated as critical areas by the City of Yakima under Chapter 15.27 of the City of Yakima Development Code (CYDC). Section 15.27.601(B) of the CYDC states: Wetlands are all areas meeting the definition of wetlands as defined in YMC 15.7.20 and are hereby designated critical areas which are subject to this chapter, except the following: 71272.000 UPo a7 � Page 121 of 133 Les Heimgartner ENVE Preliminary Wetland Assessment December 2, 2019 -APR �(]�Q Page 4 I. Irrigation systems that create an artificial wetland- and � ` ° u o, UIV. 2. Areas where changes in irrigation practices have caused wetland areas to dry up. Federal The USACE typically decides wetland jurisdiction on a case by case basis when there is not a clear surface water connection to waters of the US. The 1987 wetland delineation manual uses the phrase "normal conditions" when determining whether or not a wetland meets jurisdictional requirements. The wetland in question is quite obviously supported by an artificial water source in the form of irrigation runoff. In my professional experience the USACE does not typically take jurisdiction on these wetlands, but the USACE should be consulted prior to completing activities that involve filling of the wetland. State The Washington State Department of Ecology (ECY) typically does take jurisdiction on artificially supported wetland if the wetland in question was not intentionally created. An example of an intentionally created wetland would be a stock pond or irrigation canal. However, if a change in conditions (such as a change in drainage patterns, irrigation type or duration) causes the wetland in question to dry up, Ecology would not take jurisdiction. Based on the fact that it appears the wetland in question was formed by irrigation runoff and that no primary indicators of wetland hydrology were identified during the site visit, PBS recommends that ground water levels be monitored for a growing season to determine if the area in question would actually meet the wetland hydrology indicators. 6 DISCLAIMER The conclusions in this report represent the investigator's interpretation of the specified technical manuals and best available science and may not correspond with observations or conclusions of others, including government agencies.

Reich, P.E., Reich Engineering, LLC y DATE: March 2020 m; . aX, JOB NO.: 200060 RE: Heimgartner Mini Storage, Trip Generation Statement 03/09/2020 Cc: Leslie P. Heimgartner _ -- - .ly.._ �. ❑Urgent _ -.... _ . Comment ®Please Reply ❑For Your Use ®For Review®Please C This technical memorandum provides a summary trip generation statement for the Heimgartner Mini Storage project proposed in Yakima, WA, referenced to parcel #18120612454. The statement provides a comparison of trip generation potentials to assess whether a ministorage proposal would present nonconforming traffic impacts on neighborhood streets as compared with single family residential use. The study was requested by City officials to help address concerns of adjacent residential property owners. Yakima is the lead review agency for this traffic study. Outside agencies can comment per request of City staff or project applicant. The intended audience is the City and, ultimately, neighbors of this potential project. Please contact our office with questions or comments. The Heimgartner Mini Storage site is situated 440-feet southwest of the Occidental Road/S. 80th Avenue intersection in Yakima. The 2.88-acre property is adjacent to and south of the current Hope Lane right-of-way, a local street, which is also proposed as the site access road. In turn, Hope Lane extends east to 791h Avenue, another local street, which extends north to the arterial of Occidental Road where regional access is obtained to/from project area. 79th Avenue is stop - controlled at Occidental Road, a "tee" intersection between these two-lane roadways. The project proposal includes construction of 40,830 square -feet (s.f.) of seasonal ministorage (including a mix of enclosed garage cubes and covered RV storage) in up to seven structures. By "seasonal", the applicant indicates this would be used primarily for the storage of recreational vehicles used periodically and specifically for summer or winter activities. To that end, site use is not anticipated with the frequency typical of the more traditional "cube" storage land use. The site is zoned R-1 Low Density Residential. This designation allows for the development of up to 6-homes per acre (a total of 17 homes) on the 2.88-acre site. However, the adjacent residential development has been constructed at a density of about 3.9-homes per acre. Thus, the proposed site could be occupied by up to 12-homes keeping in character of the neighborhood, an important distinction with subsequent trip generation analyses. To be clear, the proposed land use of mini storage is allowed per Yakima Municipal Code (YMC). However, it is typical to review factors such as trip generation when a land use proposal may not match historical development trends, as to address factors such as transportation concurrency (i.e. the determination/measure of street capacities) and to address community concerns. Thus, provisions of this study are typical of similar situations throughout the Yakima region. Page 1 , gv, I IN 4 "i Page 131 of 133 Heimgartner Mini Storage, Trip Generation Statement Eal T•O ENGINEERS Trip generation was developed using the practices outlined by the Trip Generation Manual (101h Edition, ITE, 2017). Trip Generation is a nationally recognized and locally accepted method for forecasting trip generation for a range of commercial, retail, and residential land uses. The forecasting methods were developed based on the survey of other land use developments located throughout the United States. Trip generation was determined using ITE Code 210 for a Single -Family Detached Housing and Code 151 for a Mini -Warehouse. Calculations were performed using rates that equate trips to the homes for residential or building area for storage. A description of these codes is as follows: • Single -Family Detached Housing (ITE Code 210). This land use includes "single-family detached homes on individual lots. A typical site surveyed is a suburban subdivision." • Mini -Warehouse (ITE Code 151). This land use is described as "a building in which a number of storage units or vaults are rented for the storage of goods. They are typically referred to as "self -storage" facilities." These Codes best represent the ITE equivalents of land uses being compared with the proposal. As indicated, the ministorage is seasonal, which means ITE data should actually over -represent trip generation for most of the year. Trip generation totals were forecast for the weekday, and AM and PM peak hours of the weekday. These are the timeframes of highest travel impacts within the City throughout a typical week. Trip generation was developed based on a comparison of a 41,000 s.f. ministorage development versus 12 residential homes. Summary trip forecasts and comparison are shown with Table 1.

This calculates to 5 less trips being generated during the AM peak hour and 5 less trips during the PM peak hour. 3. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The project includes the development of 40,830 s,f. seasonal ministorage located on 2.88-acres southwest of the Occidental Roal 801h Avenue intersection in Yakima. Access is proposed by an extension of Hope Lane, which does extend into the adjacent residential neighborhood, The project is located in an R-1 zone of the City, which does allow ministorage. However, the adjacent properties are occupied with single family homes developed to a density of 3.9-homes per acre. A review of trip generation potentials for 41,000 s.f. of ministorage versus 12 single family homes indicates fewer trips will be generated by the proposal versus residential development; specifically 50-less trips during the weekday, 5 less trips during the AM peak hour and 5 less trips during the PM peak hour. The conclusion is the development does not present a nonconforming impact in terur)s of traffic, and that concurrency as planned by the City can be maintained with the proposal.
