Housing Action Plan Implementation and Zoning Update — Calhoun explain the next steps in
implementing the Housing Action Plan which is a SEPA Environmental Review and includes a
20-day comment period, a YPC public hearing and recommendation in March and a City Council
public hearing to finalize the ordinance sometime in April. He also provided updates on the
definitions of cottage housing, tiny homes, tiny homes on wheels, and tiny home communities.
The commissioners and Code Administration Manager, Glenn Denman engaged in a brief
discussion on size minimums for tiny homes. Calhoun detailed proposed changes to the several
parts of the Municipal Code including: Table 4-1 Permitted Land Uses, development standards,
site design requirement standards, subdivision requirements, binding site plan, among others.
The commissioners followed -up on restrictions related to easements and height standards.
2021 Planning Highlights — Calhoun provided some highlights on the public hearings held in
2021 and permitted dwellings from 2018 to 2021. Commissioner Place asked how many permitted
dwellings had been completed and how long a permit is valid. Calhoun provided a rundown of
subdivisions processed in 2021 including the number of lots created. Commissioner Rose
inquired about potential annexations — Calhoun said there are no current pending annexations.
Other Business — Michael Tobin with the North Yakima Conservation District expressed the need
for a storage container to store items such as four -wheelers, handheld devices, shovels, etc. that
their organization uses on a daily basis. Mr. Tobin asked the commissioners for suggestions or
tips to allow for a shipping container for storage purposes. The commissioners and City staff
brainstormed ideas for processes allowing a shipping containers as an accessory use in business
zones. Mr. Tobin will contact Manager Calhoun to provide more details on his proposal. City staff
will then work on an update for commissioners.

kT15M9"1TU1WMM#=# as =I- IMELO21—
MrSTMAIMMOMWAM2 57933 -
1 . Assure that residential densities in new subdivisions, multifamily developments, or
planned residential developments are compatible with the existing or planned level of publ
services and the density of the zoning district;
2. Permit the clustering of dwelling units (when clustering occurs, open space shall be
provided in accordance with YMC 15.09.030); and
3. Permit a variety of residential dwelling types within a development.
The following formula shall be used to determine the maximum number of dwelling units
permitted for any particular subdivision, short subdivision, mobile home park, multifamily
development or planned residential development:
THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS PERMITTED ON A SITE = (the total site
area in acres) - (the area of streets, rights -of -way, and access easements, in
acres) x (the maximum number of dwelling units permitted per net residential
acre).
Any fraction of a dwelling unit shall be rounded up to the next whole number if one-
half or over or down to the next whole number if less than one-half. Once approved
under the provisions of this title, no subdivision, resubdivision, or short subdivision
shall be further modified or divided in a manner that will raise the density of the
subdivision beyond the maximum number of dwelling units permitted per net
residential acre by Table 5-2; provided, that development exceeding the maximum
number of dwelling units per net residential acre may be allowed in-the-R4-and-R-2

1. The lots created meet the lot size and lot width requirements established in Table
5-2;
2. The existing structures meet the building area and setback requirements in Table
5-1; and
3. The new density is consistent with the district intent statement and YMC Table 4-
1 je-r i e yv-cl"A; I g-un#&-are-b0t
C. Minimum Lot Size. Minimum lot size is the smallest lot size permitted in a particular zoning
district when land is subdivided, short platted, resubdivided, or when lot lines are adjusted. No
lot shall be created that is smaller than the applicable minimum lot size standard established in
Table 5-2.
1 . In residential districts, this standard is intended to maintain the residential
character of the area and will vary by dwelling type, the suitability of the land for
ilevelopment, and the type of water and sewer system. The following are the
minimum lot size requirements in the residential districts, except when the Yakima
health district determines that a larger area is necessary for the safe installation of
?,pproved water supply and sewage disposal systems:
2. The smaller lot size for zero lot line, attached, and multifamily dwellings does n
permit an increase in the maximum number of dwelling units per net residential acre
itstablished in subsection B of this section. Any lots created for zero lot line, attache!J.
?,nd multifamily dwellings shall be so designated on the face of the plat or short plat.1
3. In the local business district, the minimum lot size is intended to maintain the
character of the district and provide adequate space for off-street parking and
landscaping.
4. The minimum lot sizes in the small and large convenience center districts a
industrial districts are intended to accommodate the large uses permitted in thes
districts and maintain vacant land in relatively large parcels that can be easily
assembled when development is proposed. I
D. Standard Lot Width. Standard lot width is the minimum lot width generally permitted in a
particular zoning district. The intent of this standard is to prevent irregularly shaped lots along,
and to control access to rights -of -way.
E. Concurrent Subdivision and Zoning Review Required. Any application for a long
subdivision which proposes a use or configuration of land or improvements requiring C4as&Type
or (3) review under this title shall, at or prior to the filing of such application, also file an
application for such review under this title. Such application shall be heard by the hearing
examiner concurrently with the subdivision application using the procedures for QassT ype (3)
review.

A. Table of Required Off -Street Parking. The parking standards in Table 6-1, Table of Off -Street
Parking Standards, are established as the parking standards for the uses indicated. These parking
requirements are based on gross floor area. "Gross floor area" means the total square footage of all
floors in a structure as measured from the interior surface of each exterior wall of the structure and
including halls, lobbies, enclosed porches and fully enclosed recreation areas and balconies, but
excluding stairways, elevator shafts, attic space, mechanical rooms, restrooms, uncovered steps
and fire escapes, private garages, carports and off-street parking and loading spaces. Storage areas
are included in gross floor area. However, the required off-street parking for storage areas shall be
calculated at the rate of one space per five hundred square feet rather than the specific parking
standard established in Table 6-1; except when the parking standard for the principal use would
require fewer parking spaces (i.e., one space per six hundred square feet). All required off-street
parking shall be subject to the procedures of this title and the standards of this section.
