The area around the pool is-shall be enclosed by a protective fence not less than four feet in height, or by another prescriptive measure as permitted by the Washington State Residential Code. 15.05.030 Creation of new lots—Subdivision requirements. A. Table of Subdivision Requirements. The provisions of this section and the requirements set forth in Table 5-2 are hereby established for all subdivisions in the zoning districts indicated. In the case of conflict between the text and tables, the text shall govern. Additional subdivision requirements are established in Y MC Title 14. B. Maximum Number of Dwelling Units Permitted per Net Residential Acre. Maximum number of dwelling units permitted per net residential acre is used to determine the maximum number of dwelling units permitted within a single subdivision, short subdivision, mobile home park, multifamily development, or planned residential development. This standard is intended to: 1. Assure that residential densities in new subdivisions, multifamily developments, or planned residential developm ents are compatible with the existing or planned level of public 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. DOC. INDEX 23 Exhibit A 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 R 1 and R 2 districts as a Class (3) use in accordance with Table 4-1. This higher density devcbpment_shall be allowed e y e-A those limited „ asions when, after Claes (3) feview; +he-heariag-ercr firms that the location-and-site n.arr af-#h@-qKoj@ct Ns-st4d14 t hh -„iOar-dens-ity-wend--be-ee -patibl@-w ih ber g of-public-services;--and+s-sansistent-with-4he-geals arid-obj tives-of-the-Y-akicna-1. iaa a rea-Gom.prehesive-plan- The application of this provision shall not prohibit the subdivis ion of land already developed with more dwelling units than would be permitted by this section when: 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- C. AT14'TGlI♦r A l I H%Chl�l}lt- 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 development, 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 approved water supply and sewage disposal systems: 2. The smaller lot size for zero lot line, attached, and multifamily dwellings does not permit an increase in the maximum number of dwelling units per net residential acre established in subsection B of this section. Any lots created for zero lot line, attached, and multifamily dwellings shall be so designated on the face of the plat or short plat. 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. DOC. INDEX 24 Exhibit A 4. The minimum lot sizes in the small and large convenience center districts and industrial districts are intended to accommodate the large uses permitted in these districts and maintain vacant land in relatively large parcels that can be easily assembled when development is proposed. 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 Subdivis ion and Zoning Review Required. Any application for a long subdivision which proposes a use or configuration of land or improvements requiring (1), (2) 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 Clas&Type(3) review. DOC.

Minimum requirements for the primary and secondary access will be at least twenty feet wide, unobstructed, paved lanes. 2. In order to promote safety for emergency access and circulation within and between new developments, cul-de-sac streets (public or private) shall not exceed 600 feet. _05 060 Administrative adiustment-of__certain heir+ development .�c r r c��-rs-v-r-vy s a n_ a rd s a l ll l ow rrowed- Adm-iaistrat"ive-ad u me^'o c e of tho basis-development-standards in this-shaptor are authorized u,,d. _theme p lot line pcovi apterc 15.09 and 15.10-� 4_as allnwe.,�b,.t ese provisions-ae-redusti --of--these-stand4ards is permitted except pa iaRt-te--YA Gk►a^•^ r- 15.06.040 Off-street parking standards. 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. B. Uses Not Specified. Off-street parking requirements for uses not specifically listed in Table 6-1 shall be determined by the reviewing official based upon the requirement for similar uses. C. Downtown Business District Exempt. The downtown business district of Yakima, as shown in Figure 6-1 and hereby adopted as a part of this chapter, shall be exempt from the provisions of this chapter as they relate to the number of parking spaces required, except that this exemption shall not DOC. 'r 29 Exhibit A apply to property that is used for residential purposes; and further provided, that all the other requirements of this chapter shall apply to any parking provided by the applicant. D. Subsidized Low-Income Housing Parking. 1. At the time of land use application submittal, the applicant must submit documentation demonstrating that the housing units will be used for the intended population for a minimum of ten years. Such documentation may include, but is not limited to, an application form submitted to receive subsidy from the city or state. 1-2.Upon a change in occupancy from subsidized housing to another use, the minimum number of required off street parking spaces is as required for the new use.

A, Purpose and Intent. 1. To provide a housing type that responds to changing household sizes and ages (e.g., retirees, small families, and single person households). 2. To encourage creation of more usable open space for residents of the development through flexibility in density and lot standards. 3. To ensure that the overall size. including bulk and mass of cottage structures and cottage housing developments, remain smaller and incur less visual impact than standard sized single-family dwellings, particularly given the allowed intensity of cottage dwellings. 4. To provide centrally located and functional common open space that fosters a sense of community and a sense of openness in cottage housing developments. 5. To provide private area around the individual dwellings to enable diversity in landscape design and foster a sense of ownership. DOC. INDEX 30 Exhibit A 6. To ensure minimal visual impact from vehicular use and storage areas for residents of the cottage housing development as well as adLacent properties, and to maintain a single-family character along public streets. B. Development Standards. All cottage housing developments shall comply with applicable development standards in Title 15; provided that where the standards included herein conflict with the standards in other sections, the standards herein shall apply: 1. Unit Size a. Minimum Unit Size: 600 square feet b. Maximum Unit Size: 1.500 square feet 2. Maximum Accessory Building footprint for community use: 600 square feet 3. Parking: a.

June 9, 2021 Meeting Minutes — It was motioned by Commissioner Rose and seconded by Commissioner Hughes-Mickel to approve the meeting minutes of June 9, 2021 as presented. The motion carried unanimously. Housing Action Plan Implementation — Calhoun presented on HAP Strategy 1 to update city regulations to remove barriers to innovative housing types. This discussion will revolve around cottage housing,which is in line with the purpose strategy 1 to look at different density and zoning options. Background: existing code sections were presented including the Land Use Table 4-1; Design Requirement Table 5-1; Subdivision Requirements Table 5-2; housing definitions pulled from YMC 15.02.020;Zero Lot Line Development,YMC 15.09.040; and Accessory Dwelling Units, YMC 15.09.045. Cottage Housing: this is a grouping of small, single family dwelling units around a common area; typically at higher density than a typical single family neighborhood. Commissioner Place asked about the Veteran's Housing on 16th — which was classified as Multifamily Development. Commissioner Rose asked about the tiny-home project at 16th and Lincoln—no project has been submitted at this time. Calhoun stated that the concept would likely be similar to Cottage Housing, but we have only been looking at the potential project for how it relates to Multifamily Development. Cottage Housing may have different standards than Multifamily Development which could encourage that type of project. Councilmember Funk spoke about manufactured homes being used as infill development in her neighborhood and that those could be potential construction types for Cottage Housing; further, the council has identified several city-owned properties for sale which will be sold for housing. Calhoun stated that we are engaging with an appraiser for the city-owned lots and when the appraisals are completed they will be placed on the market. Chair Liddicoat asked about the purpose of today's meeting — Calhoun stated that this was for information today and staff will bring back track changes code to a future meeting. Kirkland Example: The HUD website includes a case study of the Kirkland, WA Cottage Housing Ordinance. This Ord includes three different types of Cottage Housing which has different standards depending on the selected type. Some considerations include maximum unit size, - 1 - IOC. INDEX t)r'1w 101 increased density limits, min/max development size (number of units), parking requirements, setbacks, lot coverage, open space, and community buildings. We can be creative with our Ordinance and include development standards that work for Yakima. Standards can be increased or modified "by-right" for development that meets the definition/standards for Cottage Housing. Chair Liddicoat discussed Common Open Space, he would like to see that built into our code so that open space is maintained appropriately. There could also be an incentive to build a community building that would be tied to a reduced open space or parking requirement. Next Steps: Staff will begin to draft Cottage Housing Language to add to the Zoning Ordinance and bring back to a future meeting. Liddicoat asked about odd-shaped lots in the R-2 and R-3 zones — setback requirements are challenging to meet when a diagonal lot line is present. Calhoun stated that setbacks are challenging in the R-3 which has a 10-foot setback or 1/2 building height.We could look at removing or revising the 1/2 building height requirement, or tying a reduced setback to an open space incentive. Commissioner Rose asked where that standard came from —Calhoun stated he would look through past ordinances to see how long it has been in the code. Jake Mayson stated that setbacks tied to building height are commonly used to decrease the perception of high density and preserve views. Liddicoat asked about parking calculations for on- site amenities — Calhoun stated that parking isn't calculated when the amenity is utilized by the on-site residents. For example, a laundry facility that is just for the residents has no additional requirement, but parking would be needed if the facility was open to the public at-large. Liddicoat asked about parking being tied to resident income or other types of occupancy—Calhoun stated that those considerations could be added into the Ordinance. Hughes-Mickel asked about looking through our existing code and how Cottage Housing can fit in —Calhoun stated that staff will be proposing a track changes document that integrates Cottage Housing into our different code sections. Jake Mayson stated that there aren't many local examples of Cottage Housing. There is a strong preference of"by-right" process to make processes clear and predictable. Rose also discussed the importance of infrastructure and affordable housing. Funk mentioned that there may be funds in the American Rescue Plan that could be used for infrastructure, otherwise there isn't any city funding for infrastructure extension. Place asked if there is HUD money available for utility extension — Calhoun stated he would ask our ONDS manager. Comprehensive Plan Amendment Updates—Calhoun provided a brief update on the CPA/RZ applications. Public comment will be sent on Friday, June 25, 2021. YPC will hold study sessions at the July meetings and we will schedule public hearing in August. Other Business — Place asked about working with the County — Calhoun stated that we would be working with County Staff on setting up a joint meeting.
