IV. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Annexation Procedure:
The Golden Ridge Annexation was submitted and processed under the “Direct Petition
Method” in RCW 35.13.125-170. This statute requires the owners of real properties
comprising not less than 60% of the assessed valuation to sign the petition. The petition
signatures were certified by the County Assessor.
14
B. Urban Growth Area:
Per RCW 36.70A.110(3),
“Urban growth should be located first in areas already characterized by urban
growth that have existing public facility and service capacity to serve such
development, and second in areas already characterized by urban growth that will
be served by a combination of both existing public facilities and services and any
additional needed public facilities are provided by either public or private sources.
Further, it is appropriate that urban government services be provided by cities, and
urban government services should not be provided in rural areas.”
The 2003 Yakima County Wide Planning Policies (YCWPP) includes the following policy
statement:
A.3.12.: Annexations will not occur outside established urban growth areas.
Annexations will occur within urban growth areas according to the provisions of adopted
interlocal agreements, if any.
The City of Yakima and Yakima County Interlocal Agreement (Resolution R-2015-139)
promotes orderly and contiguous development of the City through annexation. In the
preamble of the agreement it is noted “The purpose of UGA designation is to target these
areas for urban growth and urban levels of services, and eventual annexation or
incorporation.”
C. Comprehensive Plan Criteria:
The City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 provides the following criteria, Policy 2.1.9 of
the Land Use Element:
Consider annexation requests in accordance with review criteria, including, but not limited to:
a. Areas to be annexed are included in the UGA.
Staff Response: The total area of the Golden Ridge Annexation is within the UGA
b. The annexation boundary, where appropriate, should adjust any impractical or
irregular boundaries created in the past.
Staff Response: Not applicable. This annexation is directly adjacent to city limits.
c. The annexation boundary should, where appropriate, provide a contiguous and
regular boundary with current City limits.
Staff Response: This annexation area is contiguous to the existing City limits.
d. The annexation proposal should create and/or preserve logical service areas.
Annexations generally should not have or create abnormally irregular boundaries
that are difficult to serve.
Staff Response: The Golden Ridge Annexation creates a logical service boundary
based on existing access factors and anticipated future development on Coolidge
Road.
15
e. The City should give priority consideration to annexation proposals that are
financially self-sufficient or those where the fiscal impact can be improved. The
City should develop a variety of service delivery or revenue enhancing options to
increase the feasibility of annexation. The City will prepare a fiscal analysis of the
annexation proposal prior to annexation.
Staff Response: The fiscal impact of this annexation is minimal, and general fund
revenue will increase as development occurs. The annexation area is largely vacant,
with only one single-family homes in the area.
As most of the annexation area (36.7 acres) is vacant and zoned R-1, it is anticipated
that future residential development will occur. At R- densities, the remaining buildable
area (after removing land for streets, parking and open space), at 27.61 acres could
support approximately 193 dwelling units (at a density of 7 units per acre). The City of
Yakima has approximately 2.73 persons per household (Comprehensive Plan 2040)
which would add approximately 527 additional people at full buildout.
Zoning Less 25% for Streets, Parking, and Open Space
Buildable
Acreage
R-1: 7 du/nra 9.25 27.6
Total Units 193
2.73 people/unit 527
From a fiscal standpoint, the impact to city services is minimal and it is not anticipated
that existing city services would suffer as a result of this annexation. New development
would be responsible to extend utilities and frontage improvements. As noted above,
when development occurs the City will receive the permit and connection fees, along
with the property tax revenue of the newly developed properties. A portion of the
property is currently being reviewed by Yakima County which will add 22 lots for single-
family dwellings.
V. CONCLUSIONS
1. The Petition for the Golden Ridge Annexation was signed by the required valuation
threshold, as certified by the Yakima County Assessor.
2. The Golden Ridge Annexation is consistent with the applicable criteria found in the City
of Yakima 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the Yakima Countywide Planning Policies, and
the City/County Interlocal Agreement.
3. The City of Yakima has sufficient capacity to serve the annexed area.
VI. RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
The Planning Division recommends approval of the proposed Golden Ridge Annexation
Ordinance. If approved by Council, the necessary documents will be transmitted to the Yakima
County Boundary Review Board (BRB) for final consideration. If ultimately approved by the
BRB, the Ordinance will be filed and become effective 60 days thereafter.
