THE CITY'S POSITION The City Attorney asserts "The City of Yakima has adopted applicable developmental regulations, so the adopted comprehensive plan cannot serve as the developmental regulations to be reviewed as part of the land use evaluation" and relies on Citizens of Mount Vernon v. City of Mount Vernon, 133 Wn.2d 861, 863 (1997). II. LONG-ESTABLISHED LEGAL PRECEDENT REQUIRES COMPLIANCE WITH BOTH THE ZONING CODE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The City Attorney failed to bring to the attention of the Hearing Examiner the numerous cases that hold: But where the zoning code itself expressly requires that a proposed use must comply with both the zoning code and the comprehensive plan, the proposed use must comply with both the zoning code and the comprehensive plan. Deer Creek Developers, LLC v. Spokane County, 157 Wn. App. 1, 18 (Div. III, 2010); Lakeside Industries v. Thurston County, 119 Wn. App. 886, 895 (Div. II, 2004); Cingular Wireless v. Thurston County, 131 Wn. App. 756, 770 (Div. II, 2006) One would expect the City and its counsel to be aware of these decisions and have the candor to have provided these precedential decisions to the Hearing Examiner. III. THE YAKIMA MUNICIPAL CODE REQUIRES COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Yakima Municipal Code 14.15.050 provides: Following the notice of application. the administrator shall approve, disapprove, or return for modification all preliminary short subdivision uodr• 1 1MINX 5 wapplications. In reaching the conclusion to approve or disapprove short o subdivisions, the administrator shall determine whether the requirements of g, o this title have been satisfied and make a formal written finding of fact as w to whether the short subdivision is consistent with the standards of the City of Yakima zoning ordinance and urban area comprehensive plan. ct c— z ® U (kmphasis added) The YMC clearly and unmistakably requires an application for short subdivision, such as the one subject to this appeal, to comply with the urban area plan and the Planning Department to make formal written findings of fret that the short subdivision is consistent with the urban area comprehensive plan. The use of the word "shall" connotes the imperative. The Planning Department cannot be allowed to ignore this clearly stated requirement. IV. THE CITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT DID NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF YLtiIC 14.15.050 In the decision dated August 11, 2022. the Department failed to make the required findings of fact that the short subdivision is consistent with the urban area comprehensive plan. The weak and failed attempt oldie Planning. Department to justify the decision contained in the "staff response" which begins "While not explicitly cited in the report..." (which appears on page 2 of Doc. Index A-1 ) underscores the Department's failure to consider, let alone comply with, the requirements of YiMC` 14. 15.050 which requires formal written findings the short subdivision is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The Planning Department also failed to comply with YMC 14.15.040. V. THE SHORT SUBDIVISION IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE URBAN AREA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN A. Neighborhood The City Attorney concedes the appellant's definition is correct_ a neighborhood is "the area of a town that surrounds someone's home.' The City's memorandum underscores a neighborhood is "nearness in space... proximity...adjacenf "the immediate vicinity, near or next to a specified place." (see AA-3 page 5). This admits the Department's use of a quarter of a mile in all directions to define the neighborhood was wrong. The attempt to include the subdivision south of Englewood ignores the undisputed fact that there is an unbroken fence along the subdivision and not access to or from the subdivision along Englewood and the only access is on 74th. The City Attorney ignores these facts DOG% 2 'MAX uw {/I . 6 which precludes a determination that the subdivision south of Englewood is part of the neighborhood subject of this appeal. The neighborhood as defined by the appellant is what must be considered. B. The short subdivision is not consistent with the comprehensive plan There is no presumption which favors a short subdivision. (See, Parkridge v. City of Seattle, 89 Wn.2d 454, 462 (1978)). There must be a determination that the short subdivision preserves and enhances the established neighborhood and is compatible in scale, style, density, and aesthetic qualities." The burden of demonstrating this is on the applicant. Mount Vernon, 133 Wn.2d at 875. The appellant has demonstrated in the opening memorandum that the proposed short subdivision does not meet the requirements of the Comprehensive Urban Plan. The argument will not be repeated. VI. CONCLUSION The Planning Department failed to meet the requirements of YMC 14.15.050. The Planning Department should be more concerned with complying with YMC 14.15.050 than justifying its decision. The proponents of the short subdivision have the burden of demonstrating the requirements of the zoning plan and the comprehensive plan have been met. They have not done so. RECEIVED The application for short subdivision must be denied. OCT 2 1 2022 CITY OF YAK MA COMMUNITY DE'VLL,.,pM:;.JT Dated this 21st day of October, 2022. Gary Lofland Appellant Doc. INDEX 3 .

This 18 memorandum includes analysis regarding the specific questions posed by the Hearing 19 Examiner, as well as a response to Appellant Lofland's Prehearing Statement. 20 21 1. Comprehensive Plans are used as guidance; the adoption of the 22 development regulations, and affirmative statements regarding development regulations in Planning Division decisions meets the 23 requirements of the Yakima Municipal Code. 24 Comprehensive plans adopted by cities serve as guidance documents to land use 25 planning and the development of land use regulations which further the goals and policies of 26 27 an adopted comprehensive plan. Cities are required to plan through the comprehensive plan 28 process to create "common goals expressing the public's interest" in various land use, 29 economic development and health and safety matters associated with growth. 30 31 32 MEMORANDUM - 1 CITY OF YAKIMADEPARTMENT CIVIL DIVISION 33 200 South Third Street 2nd Fl'Yakima WA 98901 P:509.575.6030 I F:509.575.6160 Uocr INDEX 9 1 RCW 36.70A.010. RCW 36.70A.020 outlines the various elements to be considered when 2 doing comprehensive planning, and states the following: "The following goals are adopted to 3 4 guide the development and adoption of comprehensive plans and development regulations of 5 those counties and cities that are required or choose to plan under RCW 36.70A.040." 6 RCW 36.70A.020 (emphasis added). RCW 36.70A.040 goes on to require that jurisdictions "adopt development regulations that are consistent with and implement the comprehensive 8 plan...." RCW 36.70A.040(3) &(4). If comprehensive plans were intended by the legislature 9 10 to be the development regulations of jurisdictions there would not have been a statutory 11 requirement to adopt further development regulations to implement comprehensive plans. See 12 generally Department of Ecology v. Campbell & Gwinn, LLC, 146 Wn.l, 43 P.3d 4 (2002); 13 City of Seattle v. Long, 198 Wn.2d 136, 493 P.3d 94 (2021). As such, comprehensive plans 14 15 are not regulations and do not include strict requirements cities must follow in evaluating each 16 land use application. Instead, a comprehensive plan is a guiding document for cities to use 17 when evaluating development regulations and land use actions. 18 Comprehensive plans can be used as regulations when a jurisdiction has not adopted 19 20 its own development regulations. RCW 36.70A.030(1) states: 21 Fundamental land use planning choices made in adopted comprehensive plans 22 and development regulations shall serve as the foundation for project review. The review of a proposed project's consistency with applicable development 23 regulations, or in the absence of applicable regulations the adopted 24 comprehensive plan, under RCW 36.70B.040 shall incorporate the 25 determinations under this section. 26 The City of Yakima has adopted applicable development regulations, so the adopted 27 comprehensive plan cannot serve as the development regulations to be reviewed as part of the 28 land use evaluation. See Citizens of Mount Vernon v. City of Mount Vernon, 133 Wn.2d 861, 29 863, 947 P.2d 1208 (1997). 30 31 32 MEMORANDUM - 2 CITY OF Y AKIMA LEGAL CIVIL DIVISION DEPARTMENT 33 200 South Third Street 2nd Fl'Yakima WA 98901 P:509.575.6030 I F:509.575.6160 Doe. INDEX e4" /1 A �� 10 1 Courts also view comprehensive plans as guidance documents and not strict 2 regulations. In Citizens of Mount Vernon v. City of Mount Vernon, the court extensively 3 4 outlined why the comprehensive plan of Mount Vernon was guidance and was not to be used 5 to make specific land use decisions. Id., 133 Wn.2d 861, 873, 947 P.2d 1208 (1997). The 6 developer of a proposed commercial planned unit development wished to place the 7 development in a residential zone. Mount Vernon's development regulations only allowed 8 commercial planned unit developments in commercial zones. However, the comprehensive 9 10 plan designated the area as one with future potential need for community retail, of which the 11 commercial planned unit development included. Id. at 863-864. 12 The commercial developer argued that "the comprehensive plan is the only required 13 document necessary to make this specific land use decision" and that "a comprehensive plan 14 15 can be used to make a specific land use decision." Id. at 872-873. The Court disagreed. 16 [C]omprehensive plans generally are not used to make specific land use 17 decisions. Instead, we stated a comprehensive plan is a"guide" or "blueprint" 18 to be used when making land use decisions. Although the court [in Barrie v. Kitsap County, 93 Wn.2d 843, 613 P.2d 1148 (1980)] confirmed there need not 19 be "strict adherence"to a comprehensive plan, any proposed land use decision 20 must generally conform with the comprehensive plan. 21 Since a comprehensive plan is a guide and not a document designed for making 22 specific land use decisions, conflicts surrounding the appropriate use are resolved in favor of the more specific regulations, usually zoning regulations. 23 24 Id. at 873 (internal citations omitted). 25 It is the development regulations that implement the goals and policies of the 26 comprehensive plan. Those development regulations include the intent statements, minimum 27 lot sizes, setbacks and densities of each zone found in the Yakima Municipal Code. The 28 29 legislature, here the City Council, adopted these regulations as the development regulations of 30 the City of Yakima. Under YMC 15.01.010, the City Council, through adoption, has stated 31 32 CITY OF YAKIMA LEGAL DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM - 3 CIVIL DIVISION 33 200 South Third Street 2nd Fl'Yakima WA 98901 P:509.575.6030 I F:509.575.6160 )OC 1DEX qA A-3 11 1 that the zoning ordinance containing the development regulations "is enacted under the 2 authority granted to the city of Yakima by . . . RCW 36.70."1 The Council also enacted with 3 4 the development regulations the purpose and intent statement, which states in part: 5 The purpose of this title is to implement the Yakima urban area comprehensive 6 plan and promote the general health, safety and welfare of present and future inhabitants of the Yakima urban growth area. The goals and policies of the urban area comprehensive plan will be used for interpretation and 8 implementation. These goals are accomplished in many ways, including: 9 1. Achieving public and private land use decisions consistent with the 10 policies and objectives of the Yakima urban area comprehensive 11 plan; 2. Dividing the Yakima urban area into districts according to the use 12 of land and structures and the intensity of such use; 13 3. Encouraging the location and use of structures and land for 14 commerce, industry and residences in districts where they are compatible with neighboring land uses; 15 4. Encouraging development in areas where adequate public services 16 including water and sewer, police and fire protection, roads, and schools can be provided, and limiting development in areas where 17 these facilities are not provided; 18 ••• 10. Protecting existing land uses and property values from adverse 19 impacts of adjoining developments; 20 21 22 YMC 15.01.030. The section goes on to state: "This title is designed to be flexible and 23 intentionally increases the potential uses or choices available to individual property owners. . 24 . . The intent statements serve as a guide to the administration and interpretation of this title 25 and are declared to be an official statement of legislative finding and purpose." Id. As such, 26 27 the adoption of the SR zoning district and the regulations associated with the SR zoning district 28 are a legislative declaration of what is considered consistent with the comprehensive plan. 29 30 1 RCW 36.70 is the Planning Enabling Act which outlines the requirements of comprehensive plans. 31 32 CITY OF YAKIMA LEGAL DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM - 4 CIVIL DIVISION 33 200 South Third Street 2nd Fl'Yakima WA 98901 P:509.575.6030 I F:509.575.6160 0C. NDEX A-A-_3 12 1 Affirmative statements were made regarding the SR zone and its regulations in the 2 Administrator's Decision,which constitute affirmative statements both that the proposed short 3 4 subdivision is consistent with the standards of the zoning ordinance and that the short 5 subdivision is consistent with the comprehensive plan, as required by YMC 14.15.050 and 6 YMC 14.15.060. The City Council outlined in the zoning code that regulations associated with 7 the SR zoning district are its declaration of consistency with the Yakima Urban Area 8 Comprehensive Plan. 9 10 2. The definition of neighborhood in the context of this appeal. 11 Neighborhood is not defined in the Yakima Municipal Code Title 14 or Title 15. The 12 term is used in a variety of places in the code, including to describe zoning districts 13 (YMC 15.03), as well as formal neighborhood plans like the West Valley Neighborhood Plan 14 15 (YMC 1.42.070(A)). Courts may look to the ordinary meaning of a word, as defined in the 16 dictionary, when an ordinance does not define a term. Jones v. Department of Labor and 17 Industries, 17 W.App.2d 437, 445, 486 P.3d 949 (2021). 18 "Neighborhood" is defined as "the region near where one is or resides; vicinity." 19 20 WEBSTER'S NEW ILLUSTRATED DICTIONARY&THESAURUS 653 (1992). "Vicinity" is defined 21 as "nearness in space or relationship; proximity; a region adjacent or near." Id. at 1083. 22 Similarly,Black's Law Dictionary defines"neighborhood"as"the immediate vicinity;the area 23 near or next to a specified place; people living in aparticular vicinity, usuallyforminga p p P 6 Y� 24 community within a larger group and having similar economic statuses and social interests." 25 26 BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY 1060 (7th ed. 1999). 27 As pointed out in the hearing,the City requires notice of land use matters to be sent to 28 those properties within 300 feet of the proposed short subdivision. YMC 14.15.040. This, 29 however, does not necessarily define a"neighborhood." Looking at the immediate vicinity of 30 31 32 CITY OF YAKIMA LEGAL DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM - 5 CIVIL DIVISION 33 200 South Third Street 2nd FI'Yakima WA 98901 P:509.575.6030 I F:509.575.6160 DOC. NOEX # -4A-3 13 1 the short plat location, and within 300 feet, there are homes that sit on acreage ranging from 2 0.19 acres to over 0.5 acres. Depending on which parcels one picks and chooses, the average 3 4 acreage per lot could change. Appellant argues that the neighborhood only consists of specific 5 properties it believes constitutes a neighborhood--only those properties near the proposed 6 subdivision, but only those north of Englewood. 7 The administrative official is tasked with evaluating the proposal to determine if it 8 meets the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan, which in this particular case, involved 9 10 the evaluation of Goal 2.3—to preserve and enhance the quality, character, and function of 11 Yakima's residential neighborhoods. See Staff Report, page 2. In evaluating that goal, the 12 administrative official looks, in part, to ensure that new development is compatible to 13 established neighborhoods, taking into account scale, style, density and aesthetics. See id.2 14 15 Here,the administrative official evaluated those elements in relation to the surrounding 16 neighborhood. Appellant referred to the 300 foot radius as the City's definition in his briefing. 17 Prehearing Statement of Appellant, page 3. The City has not defined neighborhood. The 300 18 foot radius is for notification purposes only. 19 20 Let's assume for argument that the neighborhood consists of the surrounding properties 21 within approximately 300 feet of the proposed short subdivision. The Decision lists the zoning 22 of the surrounding properties as R-1 and SR. As such,the short subdivision lots are surrounded 23 by lots of varying sizes, but all have the same use—single family residential (adjacent lots are 24 zoned either R-1 or SR) and all include detached single-family dwellings). See Staff Report, 25 26 page 2. All of the surrounding lots (regardless of zoning of R-1 or SR) are subject to the same 27 setbacks, fencing requirements, and height restrictions. See Table 5-1: Design Requirements 28 29 2 It should be noted that the'A mile information was provided as further example of how the size of the property 30 is compatible, and was provided in response to the Appeal,not in the original decision. 31 32 MEMORANDUM - 6 CITY OF YAIQ A LEGAL VIL DIG SION DEPARTMENT CI33 200 South Third Street 2nd Fl!Yakima WA 98901 P:509.575.6030 I F:509.575.6160 DOC. INDEX /4A 14 1 and Standards, YMC 15.05.030.3 This was affirmatively stated in the decision on pages 5-6. 2 The design standards for the SR and R-1 zones are set forth to ensure that there is appropriate 3 4 design standards in a neighborhood, furthering policy 2.3.2 of the Comprehensive Plan 5 requiring compatibility of new development. 6 Appellant argues that the density will impermissibly increase due to the subdivision creating lots that are smaller than surrounding lots to the north of Englewood (proposed lots 8 are approximately 0.3 acre while smallest lot on the north side of Englewood is approximately 9 10 0.4 acre).4 Contrary to appellant's assertion that density is not defined, Yakima Municipal 11 Code district and map overlay intent statements outline what density means in each zoning 12 district. See YMC 15.03.020. In the R-1 district (of which the proposed subdivision is 13 surrounded on three sides) the district allows "moderate-density residential development, up 14 15 to seven dwelling units per net residential acre, in areas served by public water and sewer 16 system." YMC 15.03.020(B)(3). In the SR district (of which the proposed subdivision is 17 bordered on the West) the density allowance is the same: "Allow residential developments to 18 seven dwelling units per net residential acre in areas with both public water service and sewer 19 20 system." YMC 15.03.020(A)(4). The property sought to be subdivided is zoned SR and has 21 access to both public water service and public sewer. The determination by the administrative 22 official that the proposer's 1.78 acres of property be divided into 4 lots (approximately 2.3 23 dwelling units per acre) meets the intent statement of the SR zone, and is consistent with the 24 intent statements and requirements of the surrounding properties zoned SR and R-1.5 25 26 3 No variances to the design requirements were requested in the process,and if any of the design requirements 27 and standards were requested to be altered,a variance procedure would be required by the code. 28 a It should be noted that there are lots across the street off of Englewood within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision that are less than 0.2 acre. The proposed subdivision's 0.3 acre lots are larger than some lots 29 within 300 feet and smaller than others. 5 The applicant submitted a set of covenants for review in this matter. After review, it does not appear that the 30 covenants are relevant to the proceeding at hand. The covenants apply to Short Plat 86-92. Applicant's property 31 32 MEMORANDUM - 7 CITY OF YAKIMADEPARTMENT CIVIL DIVISION 33 200 South Third Street 2nd Fl'Yakima WA 98901 P:509.575.6030•••• I F:509.575.6160 D C o N4Y1�i0\ If 44- 15 1 3. Conclusion. 2 All of the statements made in the administrative official's findings of fact and 3 4 conclusions are affirmative statements regarding the development code, which is the 5 instrument used to enforce and comply with Yakima's comprehensive plan. Those statements 6 constitute the formal written findings of fact that the application submitted is consistent with the comprehensive plan, as required by YMC 14.15.050 and YMC 14.15.060. 8 Appellant argues, in part, that since the administrative official did not use the wording 9 10 of the ordinance in the decision that it fails to meet the short subdivision criteria. There are 11 many findings and conclusions listed in the decision that refer to the Yakima Municipal Code 12 development regulations. Since those regulations are the implementing regulations of the 13 comprehensive plan,which is a guidance document,the administrative official did provide the 14 15 necessary findings that the proposal meets the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan. 16 The decision should be upheld. 17 However, if the Hearing Examiner believes that the administrative official could have 18 been clearer that the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan were met, then the City 19 20 would ask that the Hearing Examiner modify the decision to include a finding or conclusion 21 as follows: 22 "This short subdivision is consistent with the standards of the city of Yakima 23 zoning ordinance, YMC 14.15.060, YMC 14.15.070, and the City's urban area 24 comprehensive plan." 25 Although the statements already included in the decision show that the administrative 26 official found that the short subdivision was consistent with the development standards, short 27 subdivision standards, and the comprehensive plan, if the Hearing Examiner finds that the 28 29 is part of Short Plat 95-68 and appears to contain only a small portion of Lot 4 of Short Plat 86-92. The covenants themselves do not appear relevant or have not been upheld by the owners,and the City does not enforce covenants 30 between private parties. 31 32 MEMORANDUM - 8 CITY OF YAKI A LEGAL VIL DIG SION DEPARTMENT CI33 200 South Third Street 2nd FI'Yakima WA 98901 P:509.575.6030 I F:509.575.6160 NDEX 16 above conclusory statement is necessary, the City asks that the Hearing Examiner modify the 2 decision accordingly.

APP 002-22 (PSP 003-22) Before the Hearing Examiner Prehearing Statement of Appellant I. INTRODUCTION This is an appeal from the August 11,2022 decision of the Planning Division of the Yakima Department of Community Development. That decision granted the application of Lester and Sonya Makalii for a short plat to create four lots on approximately 1.78 acres.Although opposed by neighbors, the application was granted by the Planning Manager on August 11, 2022. A timely appeal of the decision was filed on August 22, 2022. The appeal is based upon the Planning Division's failure to consider, address, or make written findings regarding the goals and policies of the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 Future Land Use Map and failure to comply with YMC 14.15.050 and .060. • The August 11 ti' decision of the Planning Division failed consider or address the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 which mandates the City to "Preserve and enhance the quality, • character, and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods" and to "Ensure the new development is compatible in scale, style, density, and aesthetic quality to an established neighborhood." II. LEGAL STANDARDS When interpreting a statute, the court's fundamental objective is to give effect to the legislature's intent. If the meaning of the statute is plain on its face a court gives effect to that plain meaning as the legislature's intent. Department of Ecology v Campbell and Gwinn LLC, 146 Wn.2d 1, 10 (2020). The court presumes the legislature says what it means and means what it says. Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority v. Airport Investment Company, 186 Wn.2d 336, 347 (2016). Courts are required to "give effect to every word, clause and sentence in a statute," leaving no part superfluous. Cox v. Ilelenius, 103 Wn.2d 383, 387 (1985). 22 RECEIVED O C T 1 2 2022 III. THE LEGISLATIVE ENACTMENTS CITY OF YAKIMA A. Yakima Municipal Code PLANNING DIV. The Yakima Municipal Code requires, by use of the imperative "shall", that an application for a short plat must comply with the urban area comprehensive plan. It provides: 14.15.050 Administrator's approval/disapproval. Following the notice of application, the administrator shall approve, disapprove, or return for modification all preliminary short subdivision applications. In reaching the conclusion to approve or disapprove short subdivisions, the administrator shall determine whether the requirements of this title have been satisfied and make a formal written finding of fact as to whether the short subdivision is consistent with the standards of the city of Yakima zoning ordinance and urban area comprehensive plan. (Ord. 2011-08 § 1 (part), 2011: Ord. 98-65 § 2 (part), 1998. Formerly 14.15.040. (Emphasis added). 14.15.060 Findings and conclusions. The administrator shall not approve a preliminary short plat and short subdivision unless written findings are made that the criteria for approval from YMC 14.15.020 along with all applicable laws and regulations have been met. B. 1'he Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 The Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 includes a specific goal: Goal 2.3. Residential Uses. Preserve and enhance the quality, character, and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods. It also includes a specific policy: Policy 2.3.2. Preserve and enhance established residential neighborhoods. Specifically: A. Ensure that new development is compatible in scale, style, density, and aesthetic quality to an established neighborhood. B. Protect the character of single-family neighborhoods by focusing higher intensity land uses close to commercial and community services and transit. 2 -#•-I RECEIVED 23 O C T 1 2 2022 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. It is clear the legislative intent of the Yakima City Council was that the Planning Department is required to consider the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040. It is not legally adequate to rely solely on the zoning ordinance, both must be considered. IV. THE FAILURE OF THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT In the decision dated August 11, 2022, the Planning Department identified the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040, its purpose, goal 2.3, and policy 2.3.2 (Exhibit 1 page 2). The Planning Department failed to address those considerations and make written findings as required by YMC 14.15.050. As a result, the decision of the Planning Department is in error. A decision is "arbitrary and capricious" when it is willful and unreasoning and taken without consideration of the facts and circumstances of the surrounding action." Spokane County v Eastern Washington Growth Management Hearings Bd., 176 Wn. App. 555, 566-67 (Division III, 2013). The failure to follow a prescribed procedure, the erroneous interpretation or application of the law, or lack of substantial evidence to support the decision makes the decision arbitrary and capricious. Id., 176 Wn. App. at 565. The Planning Department failed to follow the prescribed procedure which requires consideration of the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and make specific written findings. The erroneous interpretation and application of the YMC, and the lack of substantial evidence to support the decision because the Planning Department failed to consider the requirements of the YMC makes the decision erroneous. As a result, the decision of the Planning Department cannot be upheld. A proper consideration of the requirements leads to the conclusion the application must be denied. V. RELEVANT CONSIDERATIONS A. Defining Neighborhood The clearly stated purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to "preserve and enhance the quality, character, and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods." We must first look at what is meant by a "neighborhood." Because neither the Comprehensive Plan nor the YMC defines the term, the plain meaning of non-technical statutory terms can be derived from the dictionary definition. Columbia River Keeper v. Port of Vancouver, 188 Wn.2d 421, 435 (2017). The Cambridge Dictionary defines the word "neighborhood" as "the area of a town that surrounds someone's home..." The Yakima City Council, when it adopted the Municipal Code, clearly agreed with that definition because when there is an application 3 DOC. RECEIVED 24 OCT 1 2 2022 CITY Of YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. for a short subdivision, notices are sent to those within 300 feet of the land proposed to be subdivided. YMC 14.15.040. The neighborhood is that area within 300 feet of the property to be subdivided. B. The Characteristics of the Neighborhood 1. The surrounding neighborhood property is composed of homes on one half (1/2) of an acre. (Exhibit 2). 2. The homes in the neighborhood are long established. 3. The development south of Englewood cannot be considered part of the neighborhood because there is no access to Englewood Ave. from that development. The only access to the development is from 74'1' Avenue. There is a fence along the north end of the development (south side of Englewood Avenue) which blocks access to Englewood. (Exhibit 3). C. Detriments to the Neighborhood of the Proposed Subdivision • 1. The density of the proposed subdivision is incompatible with the size of the lots in the established neighborhood. 2. The existing neighborhood is one residence on a half-acre lot or greater. There are some half-acre lots with no homes. The proposed lots are: lot 2 13,617 sf= .31 acre lot 3 13,296 sf= .30 acre lot 4 13,691 sf= .30 acre This results in a 40% reduction in the size of the neighborhood lots. (.3 divided by .5 = .6. The proposed lots are 60% of the lots in the established neighborhood) (note: 1 acre =43,560 st). 3. The Makalii's current residence (lot 1) would be 39.098 sf or .89 acre which would be consistent with the character of the neighborhood. 4. YMC 15.05.030(c) demonstrates and underscores that the size of the new lots (lots 2,3,4) is incompatible with the neighborhood. That provision of the code establishes the minimum lot size: 4 DOC. RECEIVED OCT 1 2 2022 ;;a I Y OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. I15.05.030 Creation of new lots—Subdivision requirements. (c) 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. (c) Minimum Lot Size. Minimum lot size is the smallest lot size permitted in a particular zoning district when land is subdivided, short platted, resub divided, 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: Situation Required Minimum Lot Size Public or community water 14,500 square feet. system and an individual sewer system Because the August 11, 2022 decision of the Planning Department requires public sanitary, sewer, and domestic water (Exhibit 4 page 10, VI (B)) the lots are incompatible. A 14, 500 sf. lot is required, the three proposed lots (lots 2,3,4) do not meet the required minimum lot size and are incompatible with the established neighborhood lot sizes. D OC. INDEX R 4A-1 RECEIVED OCT21 2 2023 • t;i f Y OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. D. Other Words Used in the Comprehensive Plan and Which City Counsel Required Must Be Considered Underscore the Proposed Lots are Incompatible With the Established Neighborhood Lot Sizes Policy 2.3.2 requires the new development to be compatible in "scale, style, density, and aesthetic qualities to an established neighborhood" with a goal to "Preserve and enhance the quality, character, and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods."The terms are not defined and again we look to the dictionary definition using Merriam-Webster Dictionary.com: Scale Proportion. Ratio in size. Proportional dimension. Style Distinctive quality, form, or type of something. Density Average number of units or individuals by space. Quality Inherent feature, distinguishing characteristics. Character Feature used to separate of distinguish something into categories. Function Mathematical correspondence. As demonstrated in Section V (c)(2), page 4 above, the proposed lots are a 40% reduction in the size of the lots in the established neighborhood. They do not have the same proportion (scale) of the established lots, the"density"is not consistent with the established lots, the "character" differs because of the size, they had differing characteristics, and they do not correspond mathematically (function) because of the reduced size. This is readily observed by reviewing Exhibit 5(a) and (b) which show how the neighborhood is changed by the proposed lots. The Exhibit shows the proposed lots with the approximate size of a house the size of that currently in the property. VI. CONCLUSION The Yakima City Council, by adopting the YMC required an equal consideration of both the zoning ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. The intent and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to "Preserve and enhance the quality, character, and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods". Approval of this application does not preserve and enhance the quality and character of the neighborhood. Instead, it would permit a higher density in the affected area which degrades the neighborhood and does not "preserve and enhance"the neighborhood.The Planning Department decision recognized the degradation and provided the neighbors "...may request a change in valuation for property tax purposes..." A proper consideration of the required factors requires the application be denied. 6 C. RECEf1/ED O C T 1 2 2022 CITY OF YAKIMA Dated this 7th day of October 2022. PLANNING DIV.

Open Record Public Hearing Proceedings. A summary of the proceedings at the open record public hearing for this Appeal that was conducted by the Hearing Examiner on October 13, 2022, may be summarized as follows: (1) Following the Hearing Examiner's introductory remarks, Yakima City Attorney Sara Watkins requested that the record be kept open for her to submit a response to the Prehearing Statement of the Appellant which was recently received by the City. Then City of Yakima Planning Manager Joseph Calhoun presented his staff report which recommended that the appeal be denied and that the preliminary short plat decision be affirmed. (Document Index A-1). Next Appellant Gary Lofland presented arguments in support of his Appeal to the effect that the administrator did not and could not make the requisite written findings of fact that the preliminary short plat decision is consistent with the standards of the zoning ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan for reasons that are set forth in detail in his Prehearing Statement of Appellant submitted prior to the hearing. (Document Index AA-1). Then Applicant Lester Makalii testified that he and his wife are trying to add places for their children to live and could add 1,000 square feet to the western lots from the area behind their house. (2) The record for this Appeal was kept open for the parties to submit additional information. On October 14, 2022, the information relative to restrictive covenants that Applicant Lester Makalii testified were a condition of their purchase of the property was received for the record from Planning Manager Joseph Calhoun who explained Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 1 Makalii Preliminary Short Plat ? 7.0:71 V1'.' _) At 7411 Englewood Avenue APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 ®OC.

(Document Index AA- 2). The responsive Memorandum of City Attorney Sara Watkins addressing the nature and meaning of Comprehensive Plan provisions involved in this Appeal was received for the record on October 18, 2022. (Document Index AA-3). The Reply of Appellant citing authorities and presenting arguments relative to the need for the preliminary short plat to comply with both the zoning code and the Comprehensive Plan was received for the record from Appellant Gary Lofland on October 21, 2022. (Document Index AA-4). The record of this Appeal was closed on that date. This Decision has been issued within eleven business days of that date due to a one-business-day extension allowed by the parties to the Appeal. II. Basis for this Appeal Decision. Based upon the Hearing Examiner's views of the site and surrounding area on October 10, 2022, and November 2, 2022, without anyone else present; his consideration of the Appeal information, the staff report, the exhibits, the testimony and the other evidence presented at the open record public hearing on October 13, 2022, and the additional information and arguments received for the record by October 21, 2022; and his consideration of applicable Comprehensive Plan provisions, applicable Yakima Municipal Code (YMC) short plat and zoning provisions, and applicable Washington court decisions; the Hearing Examiner issues the following Findings, Conclusions and Decision. III. Hearing Examiner Authority. YMC §14.50.010(F) and YMC §16.08.018(G) provide that the Hearing Examiner may affirm or reverse, wholly or in part, or modify the decision that is being appealed and to that end shall have all of the powers of the officer from whom the appeal was taken.

IV. Nature of the Action Subject to this Appeal. The nature of the action that is being appealed may be summarized as follows: (1) An application by Lester and Sonya Malakii requesting approval of a 4-lot Preliminary Short Plat of their 1.78-acre parcel at 7411 Englewood Avenue was received by the City Planning Division on April 13, 2022, and was deemed complete for processing on July 5, 2022. (Document Index E-1 and F-1). (2) The application was processed under the provisions of YMC Chapter 14.15 entitled "Short-Subdivision — Procedure." That procedure included the mailing of a Notice of Application to the property owners within 300 feet of the proposed preliminary short plat which allowed a 20-day comment period. (Document Index F-2). The Notice of Application was mailed on July 6, 2022. (Document Index F-2c). (3) In response to the Notice of Application, written comments were submitted in opposition to the proposed preliminary short plat by residents of the area Alfonso and Stella Pineda,Rachael Miner, Gary and Marcia Lofland, Frank Torres and Margaret Fousha which mainly objected to increased noise, traffic and adverse effect on the character of the area that would result from three additional homes on three of the four lots in the short plat that are about 60% of the size of their lots which surround the preliminary short plat on the north side of Englewood Avenue. (Document Index G-1, G-2, G-3 and G-4 respectively). (4) The Administrative Official issued a Notice of Decision on August 11, 2022, approving the preliminary short plat subject to conditions. (Document Index F-3). The size of the lots in the preliminary short plat are 39,098 square feet for Lot 1 where the Applicants' home is located; 13,617 square feet for Lot 2 adjacent to the south of Lot 1; 13,296 square feet for Lot 3 across the shared driveway and southwest of the Applicants' home; and 13,793 square feet for Lot 4 across the shared driveway and west of the Applicants' home. (Document Index C-1). (5) On August 22, 2022, a timely Appeal of the approval of the Malakii Preliminary Short Plat was filed by Gary Lofland. (Document Index E-2).

Appeal Hearing Notices. In accordance with YMC §14.50.010 and YMC §16.08.018(D)(2), the preliminary short plat site was posted with a land use action sign on September 12, 2022. (Document Index F-4). A Notice of Appeal of Administrative Official's Decision & Public Hearing for a public hearing on October 13, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. in the City Council Chambers at City Hall (Document Index F-5) was mailed to the Applicants, the Appellant, all parties of record and all property owners within 300 feet of the preliminary short plat site on September 14, 2022 (Document Index F-5c and F-5d) and was published in the City's official newspaper, the Yakima Herald-Republic, on September 19, 2022. (Document Index F-5a). VI. Stated Reasons for the Appeal. The Appellant's stated reasons or grounds for the Appeal set forth in his Supplemental Application for Appeal (Document Index E-2) are as follows: In the decision dated August 11, 2022 the Planning Division of the Yakima Department of Community Development failed to consider or address the goals and policies of the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 Future Land Use Map. Goal 2.3 provides"Residential uses,Preserve and enhance the quality, character, and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods." Policy 2.3.2 provides • "Ensure that new development is compatible in scale, style, density, and aesthetic quality to an established neighborhood." The Planning Department ignored documents submitted that clearly demon- strated that the surrounding property (13 lots) are all half acre lots. The Planning Department failed to address how the requested subdivision, which would result in three (3) lots of approximately one-fourth (.25) of an acre, is consistant with the Goals and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan 2040. The .25 acre lots are not compatible in scale, style, density, and aesthetic quality of the long established neighborhood. Nor does it enhance the quality and character of the residential neighborhood.

The decision of the Planning Department is incorrect and must be overturned. The request for Short Subdivision must be denied. VII. The Planning Staffs Response to the Stated Reasons for the Appeal. The Planning Staffs responses to the stated reasons or grounds for the Appeal that are set forth in its staff report (Document Index A-1) are as follows: The staff report dated August 11, 2022, did not fail to consider or address goals in the Yakima Comprehensive Plan, nor did it ignore comments submitted by adjacent property owners. Section III.C. of the staff report notes that the site has a future land use designation of Low Density Residential and cites Goal 2.3 and Policy 2.3.2 as referenced in the appellant's statement above. While not explicitly cited in the staff report, the Principal Uses and Density of the Low Density Residential Future Land Use Designation include: Single-family detached dwellings are the predominant dwelling type...The permitted density is up to seven net dwelling units per acre for infill development. (Comp Plan 2040, 2.2.1(C)). The implementing zoning districts of the Low Density Residential Future Land Use Designation include SR and R-1 (Comp Plan 2040, 2.2.1(D)). Additional goals and policy statements which dictate how the Comprehensive Plan interacts with the Zoning Ordinance include: Goal 2.1 — Establish a development pattern consistent with the community's vision. Policy 2.1.1 — Designate the general distribution, location and extent of the uses of land for housing, commerce, recreation, open spaces, public utilities and facilities and other land uses. Policy 2.1.2—Establish land use designations, densities and intensities as shown under Goal 2.2. Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 5 Makalii Preliminary Short Plat r,'"7717757a At 7411 Englewood Avenue APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 DO . NOV 0 7 2022 INDEX PLAN= DiV 42 Policy 2.1.4 — Manage and maintain the City's Official Zoning Map to ensure continued consistency with the Future Land Use Map. Policy 2.1.5 —Implement land use designations through a clear regulatory process that ensures transparency, fairness, and predictability in the land development process. In accordance with YMC § 15.03.020: "The district intent statements define the specific purpose of each district and/or zoning map overlay. They shall reflect the policies of the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan; serve as a guide for determining the appropriate location of uses; help determine appropriate conditions for development; and help the administrative official interpret the standards and provisions." As documented in Section III.D.b. of the staff report, the intent of the SR zoning district is to "...provide a variety of residential lifestyles with densities generally ranging from one unit per five net residential acres to seven units per net residential acre. The higher density is reviewed and considered to be permitted when a public water system and the regional sewer system are available...(4) Allow residential development to seven dwelling units per net residential acre in areas with both public water service and sewer system....The district is characterized by a mixture of land uses and residential densities including small farms, scattered low-density residential development, and clusters of higher- density residential development. The minimum lot size in the district varies according to the suitability of the land for development and the provision of urban level services. See YMC 15.05.030(E)." Although "neighborhood" is not defined, looking at lots within '/4 mile in each direction, there are residential lots in a range of sizes. To the south and southeast in newer developments the lot sizes are approximately 0.20 acre. In a newer development to the east, along Modesto Way, the lots are approximately 0.26 acre. To the north, in a newer development along Plateau Place, the lot sizes are between 0.40 and 0.50 acre. To the west along Graystone Court, the lot sizes average approximately 0.55 acre. Appellant states that the lot sizes of 0.25 acre per lot is incompatible with neighboring 0.50 acre lots. However, the Comprehensive Plan does not require that all residential lots are the same size or similar sizes to preserve and enhance established residential neighborhoods. Taking an overall evaluation of the Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 6 'f Makalii Preliminary Short Plat .„„ 7.I <.._V ' .1 At 7411 Englewood Avenue DOC APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 INDEX NOV 0 7 2072 43 proposed plat and the neighboring uses of land and neighborhood adjacent to the proposed plat location, the density of the proposed plat is compatible in scale. The single family neighborhoods' character is also protected through the approval of a plat with single family homes on similarly large lots. IV. CONCLUSIONS: A. The appellant has not submitted any evidence demonstrating that the Planning Department failed to comply with the requirements of YMC 14.15.050 and .060. The proposed lots are consistent with the Compre- hensive Plan and the applicable provisions of the SR zoning district. B. The proposed lots are in conformance with the minimum lot sizes and density requirements for development with available public water and sewer. a. Proposed lots range from approximately 14,401 [13,296] to 63,579 [39,098] square feet —the minimum lot size is 6,000 square feet. b. The proposed density is approximately 2.3 dwelling units per acre — the maximum density is 7 dwelling units per acre. C. The SR zoning district and applicable development standards conform with and implement the Low Density Residential Zoning District Future Land Use Designation of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. D. The Hearing Examiner has the jurisdiction to render a final decision on this matter. V. RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above findings and conclusions, the City of Yakima Planning Division recommends denial of the Appeal (APP#002-22) and retention of the Preliminary Short Plat decision (PSP#003-22). VIII. A Summary of the Appellant's Contentions and Arguments. The Appellant's contentions and arguments may be summarized as follows: The August 11th decision of the Planning Division failed to consider or address the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 which mandates the City to "Preserve and enhance the quality, character and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods"and Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 7 Makalii Preliminary Short Plat `"'' ' At 7411 Englewood Avenue APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 DO . NOV 0 7 202? INDEX CITY Li- I` ii" Y'S•id:.1 Cii'1i 44 to "Ensure the new development is compatible in scale, style, density, and aesthetic quality to an established neighborhood." The fundamental objective when interpreting an ordinance is to give effect to the legislature's intent. If the meaning is plain on its face, that plain meaning gives effect to the legislature's intent. Department of Ecology v. Campbell & Gwinn, LLC, 146 Wn.2d 1, 10 (2020). The legislature is presumed to say what it means and mean what it says. Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority v. Airport Investment Company, 186 Wn.2d 336, 347, (2016). It is necessary to give effect to every word, clause and sentence, leaving no part superfluous. Cox v. Helenius, 103 Wn.2d 383, 387 (1985). YMC §14.15.050 provides that "In reaching the conclusion whether to approve or disapprove short plat subdivisions, the administrator shall determine whether the requirements of this title have been satisfied and make a formal written finding of fact as to whether the short subdivision is consistent with the standards of the city of Yakima zoning ordinance and urban area comprehensive plan." YMC §14.15.060 provides that "The administrator shall not approve a preliminary short plat and short subdivision unless written findings are made that the criteria for approval from YMC 14.15.020 along with all applicable laws and regulations have been met." It is not legally adequate to rely solely on the zoning ordinance, both must be considered. Since the Planning Division failed to consider Comprehensive Plan Goal 2.3 and Policy 2.3.2 and make written findings as required by YMC 14.15.050, the decision is in error and arbitrary and capricious. A decision is held to be "arbitrary and capricious" when it is willful and unreasoning and taken without consideration of the facts and circumstances of the surrounding action. Spokane County v. Eastern Washington Growth Management Hearings Bd., 176 Wn. App. 555, 566-67 (Division III, 2013). The Appellant indicates that we must first look at what is meant by a "neighborhood." Because neither the Comprehensive Plan nor YMC defines the term, the plain meaning of non-technical terms can be derived from the dictionary definition. Columbia River Keeper v. Port of Vancouver, 188 Wn.2d 421, 435 (2017). A definition of"neighborhood" in the Cambridge Dictionary is "the area of a town that surrounds someone's home." In order to add specificity to that definition, the Appellant contends that the City Council's requirement to send notices of a short subdivision application to property owners within 300 feet of the land to be subdivided pursuant to YMC §14.15.040 means that a neighborhood is intended by the City Council to be the area within 300 feet of the property to be subdivided. The Appellant in addition states that "the development south of Englewood cannot be considered part of the neighborhood because there is no access to Englewood Ave. from the development. The only access Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 8 RR..0:.7) Makalii Preliminary Short Plat w. At 7411 Englewood Avenue APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 D C. NOV 0 7 Z02? INDEX cliv t ;1 • 45 to the development is from 74th Avenue. There is a fence along the north end of the development (south side of Englewood Avenue) which blocks access to Englewood. (Exhibit 3)." Using that definition,the Appellant contends that the lots in the preliminary short plat of 39,098 square feet (0.89 of an acre), 13,617 square feet(0.31 of an acre), 13,296 square feet (0.30 of an acre) and 13,691 [13,793] square feet (0.30 [0.31] of an acre (Document Index C-1) when compared with the 0.50-acre or larger lots within 300 feet of the preliminary short plat north of Englewood Avenue are not consistent with Comprehensive Plan Goal 2.3 and Policy 2.3.2. Using this definition of "neighborhood," the Appellant also concludes that three of the four lots within the preliminary short plat are 60% of the size of the other lots in the neighborhood or 40% smaller than the other lots in the neighborhood. The Appellant in addition contends that YMC §15.05.030 demonstrates and underscores that the size of new lots 2, 3 and 4 of the preliminary short plat is incompatible with the neighborhood because Appellant reads that section to require a minimum lot size of 14,500 square feet which, if correct, would be less than the required minimum lot size for the applicable Suburban Residential (SR) zoning district. (Document Index AA-1, pages 3-6 and Document Index AA-4). Lastly the Appellant in its Reply of Appellant cites three cases for the proposition that where the zoning code itself expressly requires that a proposed use must comply with both the zoning code and the Comprehensive Plan, the proposed use must comply with both the zoning code and the Comprehensive Plan. Deer Creek Developers, LLC v. Spokane County, 157 Wn. App. 1, 18 (Div. III, 2010); Lakeside Industries v. Thurston County, 119 Wn. App. 886, 895 (Div. II, 2004); Cingular Wireless v. Thurston County, 131 Wn. App. 756, 770 (Div. II, 2006). IX. A Summary of the Respondent City's Contentions and Arguments. The Respondent City's contentions and arguments may be summarized as follows: In response to the Appellant's contentions and arguments, the City through its City Attorney Sara Watkins first cites RCW 36.70A.040 which requires that jurisdictions "adopt development regulations that are consistent with and implement the comprehensive plan." The contention therefore is that comprehensive plans are not regulations and do not include strict requirements that cities must strictly adhere to in evaluating each land use application, but are guiding documents for cities to use when adopting development regulations as indicated by Court decisions such as Citizens of Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 9 Makalii Preliminary Short Plat At 7411 Englewood Avenue APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 DO . NOV 0 'I 2022 INDEX CITY 46 Mt. Vernon v. City of Mt. Vernon, 133 Wn. 2d 861, 863, 947 P. 2d 1208 (1997) and Barrie v. Kitsap County, 93 Wn. 2d 843, 613 P.2d 1148 (1980). An exception to that set forth in RCW 36.70A.030(1) and YMC Chapter 16.06 is where a jurisdiction has not adopted development regulations applicable to an aspect of a proposed project at issue. They require a finding that a proposed project is consistent with applicable development regulations, or in the absence of applicable regulations, the adopted comprehensive plan. The City additionally cites City zoning ordinance provisions enacted by the Yakima City Council such as YMC §15.01.010 which states that the zoning ordinance containing the development regulations "is enacted under the authority granted to the city of Yakima by ... RCW 36.70" and YMC §15.01.030 which states relative to the City's zoning ordinance that "The purpose of this title is to implement the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan ... The goals and policies of the urban area comprehensive plan will be used for interpretation and implementation ... This title is designed to be flexible and intentionally increases the potential uses of choices available to individual property owners ... The intent statements serve as a guide to the administration and interpretation of this title and are declared to be an official statement of the legislative finding and purpose." The City concludes therefore that the City Council's adoption of the Suburban Residential(SR)zoning district and the regulations associated with that district for this property constitute legislative declarations of what is found to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. And it therefore follows that the affirmative statements regarding the SR zoning district regulations in the preliminary short plat decision constitute affirmative statements that the proposed short subdivision is consistent with both the standards of the zoning ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan as required by YMC §14.15.050 and YMC §14.15.060. The City is in substantial agreement with the Appellant's dictionary definition of the word "neighborhood." The City refers to the Webster's New Illustrated Dictionary & Thesaurus 653 (1992) "neighborhood" definition of "the region where one is or resides; vicinity" and that dictionary's definition of the word "vicinity" as "nearness in space or relationship; proximity; a region adjacent or near," as well as the Black's Law Dictionary definition of"neighborhood" as "the immediate vicinity; the area near or next to a specified place; people living in a particular vicinity, usually forming a community within a larger group and having similar economic statuses and social interests." However, the City contends that the 300-foot notice requirement for proposed preliminary short subdivisions of YMC §14.15.040 is only a notice provision that does not necessarily define a "neighborhood." But nevertheless the City contends Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 10 Makalii Preliminary Short Plat , , ;( At 7411 Englewood Avenue APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 DOL INDEX ���'1 0 `( 202? 47 that even assuming that the 300-foot notice requirement is intended to constitute the "neighborhood," the properties within 300 feet of the proposed preliminary short plat range in size from 0.19 acres to over 0.5 acres, and depending upon which parcels one picks and chooses, the average lot size could change. The City also notes that the Appellant seeks to exclude from its "neighborhood" definition the smaller lots within 300 feet of the short plat south of Englewood Avenue which it believes should not constitute part of the neighborhood because they are fenced and do not have access to Englewood Avenue. The City further contends that also assuming that the neighbor- hood should only include the property north of Englewood Avenue, the preliminary short plat decision states on pages 5-6 that all of the properties surrounding the preliminary short plat are within either the R-1 or SR zoning district and are all developed with single-family residences subject to the same setback, fencing and height design standards so as to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. As to the preliminary short plat's consistency with the density permitted in the surrounding R-1 and SR zoning districts,the City cites YMC §15.03.020(A)(4)which allows "moderate- density residential development up to seven dwelling units per net residential acre in areas such as this served with both public water service and sewer system" and points out that the density of the preliminary short plat is about 2.3 dwelling units per acre. X. The Hearing Examiner's Findings Relative to the Meaning of the Word "Neighborhood." The Findings of the Hearing Examiner relative to the meaning of the word "neighborhood" are as follows: (1) The fact that the City Council currently requires that notices of a proposed preliminary short plat application must be sent to the owners of property within 300 feet of the site of the proposal indicates that the City Council considers the owners of those properties to be potentially interested in submitting written comments either in favor of the proposal or in opposition to it. However, the City Council only specified the 300-foot distance for the type of notice required for the mailing to property owners. It did not include that distance in a definition of the "neighborhood." It should also be noted that the mailing of the notice is not the only way the City Council required in order to convey notice of the application to the public. Notice must also be published in the City's official newspaper, the Yakima Herald-Republic, and posted on the proposed preliminary short plat site which would be expected to provide notice to a Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 11 Makalii Preliminary Short Plat At 7411 Englewood Avenue APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 P,_ NOV 0 1202? S p INDE1 c1TY ati .. PLANNING U EIiV. 48 greater segment of the population than only to those within 300 feet of the site. The Hearing Examiner therefore finds that the types of notices required for preliminary short plat applications evidence a legislative intent that the properties within at least 300 feet as a minimum from the preliminary short plat site be considered the size of its "neighborhood" depending upon the circumstances. There are much larger neighbor- hoods officially recognized by the City such as through adoption of the West Valley Neighborhood Plan, and there are much larger well-known neighborhoods in the City such as the Barge Chestnut Neighborhood. However for purposes of this particular preliminary short plat, the Hearing Examiner accepts the Appellant's position that the "neighborhood" includes property located within 300 feet from the preliminary short plat because evidence of legislative intent is lacking in this record to support any specific larger area and because the arguments presented for this record establish the fact that 300 feet from the preliminary short plat is the minimum distance that should be considered this site's "neighborhood." (2) As to the Appellant's position that the property within 300 feet to the south of the preliminary short plat should not be considered to be within its "neighborhood" because it is fenced along Englewood Avenue and does not have access to that street, none of the"neighborhood"definitions presented for this record exclude areas that have fencing in the back yards of the residences or that use different streets for access to the residences. Furthermore, evidence of the nature and character of the area to the south of the preliminary short plat establishes the fact that it should be considered as part of its surrounding "neighborhood." When the Hearing Examiner viewed the site and surrounding area to aid in understanding the evidence relative to the area south of the site as depicted in the Appellant's photographs designated as Exhibits 3A and 3B of the Prehearing Statement of Appellant (Document Index AA-1), it was obvious that the area is developed entirely with single-family residences;that since the homes are at a slightly lower elevation than the homes north of Englewood Avenue, they are within the primary view of most of the homes north of Englewood Avenue which face south with a hill behind them; that the residences south of Englewood Avenue and their access are within walking distance of the preliminary short plat by way of a sidewalk along both Englewood Avenue and 74th Avenue; and that the primary streets used by residents north of Englewood Avenue to reach Summitview Avenue in order to access commercial retail and service uses south and east of the preliminary short plat are also both Englewood Avenue and 74th Avenue which are adjacent to the single-family residential development south of the preliminary short plat. For these reasons the Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 12 Makalii Preliminary Short Plat F. At 7411 Englewood Avenue APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 NOVQ 2022 D C. 11110E C�� i_I , 49 preponderance of the evidence requires that the residences to the south and within 300 feet of the preliminary short plat should be included as part of its "neighborhood." XI. The Hearing Examiner's Findings Relative to the Consistency of the Preliminary Short Plat with the Quality, Character, Function, Scale, Style, Density and Aesthetic Quality of its "Neighborhood." The Findings of the Hearing Examiner relative to the preliminary short plat's consistency with the quality, character, function, scale, style, density and aesthetic quality of the neighborhood as set forth in Comprehensive Plan Goal 2.3 and Policy 2.3.2 are as follows: (1) The Appellant cites the Merriam-Webster Dictionary to define "quality" as "inherent feature, distinguishing characteristics." The inherent feature of the prelim- inary short plat includes the fact that it will allow for the construction of single-family residences no higher than 35 feet, single-family residences no larger than what will allow at least 40% of the lot area to be free of buildings and other impervious surfaces and single-family residences no larger than what will comply with requisite setback requirements. One of the lots will be 0.89 of an acre which is larger than most, if not all, of the other lots in the neighborhood. The 0.30-acre and 0.31-acre sizes of the other three lots are in between the 0.20-acre size of the lots in the neighborhood south of the preliminary short plat and the 0.50-acre or larger size of the lots in the neighborhood north of Englewood Avenue. The significantly smaller size of the lots in the neighbor- hood south of the preliminary short plat are shown by Exhibit 2 of the Prehearing Statement of Appellant (Document Index AA-1) and by the Zoning Map, Future Land Use Map, Aerial Map and Vicinity Map set forth in the record. (Document Index B-1 and B-2). For these reasons, the Hearing Examiner finds that the preliminary short plat is in fact consistent with the "quality" of the neighborhood. (2) The Appellant's definition of "character" is a "feature used to separate or distinguish something into categories." The feature separating or distinguishing the preliminary short plat into a category is that it is a residential short plat rather than a commercial or industrial short plat. Since it will allow for the placement of single- family residences in a single-family residential neighborhood, it will be consistent with the character of the neighborhood. If its lot sizes were to be considered a feature under Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 13 Makalii Preliminary Short Plat ^ ;~-r-T-77 At 7411 Englewood Avenue �, APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 C° INDEX HOJ 0 '1 2022 # 211 ,:;i1Y `.( 50 this definition, the lot sizes of the preliminary short plat which include one larger lot and three lots being of sizes between the sizes of the smaller lots and the sizes of the larger lots in the neighborhood dictate a finding that the preliminary short plat is consistent with the "character" of the neighborhood. (3) The Appellant's definition of"function" as "mathematical correspondence" is not applicable in this context. The function of the preliminary short plat is to provide lots for three additional single-family residences. This function is the same as the function of all of the other lots in the neighborhood which is to provide areas for single- family residences. Therefore the preliminary short plat is consistent with the"function" of the neighborhood. (4) The Appellant's definition of "scale" is "proportion. ratio in size. proportional dimensions." The buildings to be constructed in the preliminary short plat will be proportional in size and dimensions to the other residences in the neighborhood because they will have to be of a size that will leave at least 40% of each lot free of buildings or other impervious surfaces and will have to be a height of not more than 35 feet with requisite setbacks required in the SR zoning district. The lot sizes of the preliminary short plat are more than twice the 6,000-square-foot minimum lot size allowed in the SR zoning district by YMC §15.05.030 and YMC Table 5-2 where, as here, the lots will be served by public water and sewer. (Document Index AA-I, page 4). The preliminary short plat includes one lot larger than the other lots in the neighborhood and three lots in between the size of the smaller lots and the larger lots in the neighborhood. Therefore the preliminary plat is in fact consistent with the "scale" of the neighborhood. (5) The Appellant defines "style" as a "distinctive quality, form or type of something." The distinctive quality, form or type of the preliminary short plat is that it is a residential rather than a commercial or industrial short plat. The buildings to be constructed on three of the lots will also be new single-family residences and in that sense will be of the style of other buildings in the neighborhood. Thus the preliminary short plat is in fact consistent with the "style" of the neighborhood. (6) The Appellant defines "density" as the "average number of units or individuals by space." Since the lot sizes of the preliminary short plat are all more than twice the 6,000-square-foot minimum lot size specified for the SR zoning district, the average number of dwelling units in the preliminary short plat is only about 2.3 dwelling units per net residential acre in the SR zoning district which allows seven Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 14 Makalii Preliminary Short Plat Rj "CI'"1a!7--ti At 7411 Englewood Avenue APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 D Oe NOV 2022 51 dwelling units per net residential acre. (Document Index AA-1,page 4). The preliminary short plat lot sizes are larger than the numerous lots in the south half of the 300-foot neighborhood distance, and the lot sizes of three of the four lots in the preliminary short plat are smaller than the lots in the neighborhood north of Englewood Avenue. The preliminary short plat is therefore consistent with the "density" of the neighborhood. (7) The Appellant does not define "aesthetic quality," but the quality of the appearance of the preliminary short plat will be the same as the "quality" of the preliminary short plat described above in subsection XI(1) of this Decision. The preliminary short plat will have new single-family residences on lots more than twice the size required in the SR zoning district with a density of only about 2.3 dwelling units per net residential acre in a zoning district that allows seven dwelling units per net residential acre. The residences will be subject to the same 60%maximum lot coverage, the same 35 maximum height, the same setback requirements and the same additional development requirements that are applicable to all of the other residences in the neighborhood. The preliminary short plat is therefore in fact found to be consistent with the "aesthetic quality" of the neighborhood. (8) For the reasons set forth above, the Hearing Examiner finds that the Makalii Preliminary Short Plat is consistent with Goal 2.3 and Policy 2.3.2 of the Compre- hensive Plan. The City presents additional reasons for finding this preliminary short plat and the preliminary short plat decision appealed from to contain the requisite findings which will be addressed in the next section as an alternative basis for this Decision. XII. The Hearing Examiner's Findings Relative to the Adequacy of the Administrative Official's Findings Issued for the Preliminary Short Plat Decision. The Findings of the Hearing Examiner relative to the adequacy of the Administrative Official's findings issued for the Makalii Preliminary Short Plat decision are as follows: (1) The Administrative Official set forth in the decision approving the Makalii Preliminary Short Plat (Document Index F-3, page 2) the following findings and conclusion specifically in reference to the Comprehensive Plan: F( IVF Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 15 Makalii Preliminary Short Plat At 7411 Englewood Avenue C a N O V 0 7 2022 APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 �°°" IND � 11 C� YAKid PLANNING DV 52 "1. Purpose: The Low Density Residential Future Land Use designation provides for low density residential development. 2. The following goals and policies apply to this proposal: • Goal 2.3: Residential uses. Preserve and enhance the quality, character and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods. • Policy 2.3.2: Ensure that new development is compatible in scale, style, density and aesthetic quality to an established neighborhood. V. CONCLUSIONS: A. The Preliminary Short Plat, as conditioned, complies with the general requirements for short subdivision approval as specified by YMC Ch. 14.15 and 15.05." (2) The City Attorney's Responsive Memorandum cites State statutes, Court cases and City ordinance provisions to the effect that Comprehensive Plan provisions are guidelines to be used by the City Council for implementing zoning ordinance regulations rather than regulations in and of themselves except where applicable zoning ordinance provisions have not been adopted relative to an aspect of a proposed project at issue. A summary of those authorities are described above in section IX of this Decision. An additional City ordinance provision to that effect is YMC•§15.03.010 which states that "The following zoning districts are established to protect the public health, safety and general welfare by implementing the goals and policies adopted in the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan," The City's position is that since the Administrative Official set forth numerous SR zoning district regulations applicable to the preliminary short plat,those descriptions of applicable zoning regulations constitute formal written findings of fact to the effect that the preliminary short plat is consistent with both the zoning ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan as required by YMC §14.15.050 and YMC §14.15.060 because the SR zoning district implements the Goals and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan's Low Density Residential designation. Along these same lines, it should also be added that the zoning ordinance regulations are the only applicable"standards"that require a formal written finding as to consistency under YMC §14.15.050 because the Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines that word in this context by stating that "STANDARD applies to any definite rule, principle or measure established by authority" as opposed to general Comprehensive Plan Goals Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 16 Makalii Preliminary Short Plat RECEIVED HOC, At 7411 Englewood Avenue APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 NOV 0 7 2022 226: CITY OF PLANNING DIV 53 and Policies. The main determination as to a proposal's consistency with the Compre- hensive Plan is to ensure that the zoning ordinance regulations being applied to a proposal are the regulations of a zoning district that the City Council has declared to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan by its adoption of Comprehensive Plan provisions such as for example Exhibit 2-2 of the Land Use Element of the Compre- hensive Plan entitled Land Use Designations and implementing zoning districts. (3) As noted above in section VIII of this Decision, the Appellant in response to the City's position cites three Court cases which contain a statement to the effect that where a zoning code itself expressly requires that a proposed use must comply with both the zoning code and the comprehensive plan, the proposed use must comply with both the zoning code and the comprehensive plan. They are Deer Creek Developers, LLC v. Spokane County, 157 Wn. App. 1, 18 (Div. III, 2010); Lakeside Industries v. Thurston County, 119 Wn. App. 886, 895 (Div. II, 2004); and Cingular Wireless v. Thurston County, 131 Wn. App. 756, 770 (Div. II, 2006). (4) As explained on page 19 of the Deer Creek Developers case, the facts were that the proposed residential subdivision was expressly prohibited in the applicable Light Industrial (LI) zoning district by the zoning ordinance. Even though the Compre- hensive Plan likewise contained a policy discouraging residential uses in the LI zoning district, the facts of that case do not involve the application of Comprehensive Plan policies to express more stringent regulations than the applicable zoning ordinance provisions. The general Comprehensive Plan provision was consistent with the specific zoning ordinance regulation in that case. (5) The Lakeside Industries case held at 83 P.3d 436 and 439 that the Thurston County Commissioners lacked legal authority to apply the sub-area plan's general purpose to deny a use which the County's zoning code specifically allowed. Applying that holding to the facts of this Appeal would mean that the City's Administrative Official lacked legal authority to apply the City's Comprehensive Plan Goal 2.3 and Policy 2.3.2 to deny the Applicants' right to include 6,000-square-foot lot sizes in their short plat since those lot sizes are specifically allowed by the City's zoning code. (6) The Cingular Wireless case held at 129 P.3d 304 that even though a proposed cell tower complied with the specific zoning ordinance provisions applicable only to cell towers, it could be denied for the failure to comply with the general zoning ordinance provisions for special uses such as the failure to comply with the purpose and intent of the zoning district to enhance and preserve the rural agricultural character in Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 17 RECEIVED Makalii Preliminary Short Plat At 7411 Englewood Avenue DOG NOV 0 7 2022 APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 INDEXCITY U� YHtt�ta�r I�► I RIV. 54 areas where there is currently little development in addition to the failure to comply with the Comprehensive Plan's policy to locate private utility facilities near compatible land uses as defined in the County's Special Use standards. (7) It should first be noted that all three cases require that the proposal "comply with" the Comprehensive Plan rather than "be consistent with" it as is required by the City's short plat provision, YMC §14.15.050. The Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary which is one of the sources listed by YMC §15.02.020 to be used for undefined terms defines the word "comply" in this context as "obey" and the word "consistent" in this context as "harmonious." Basing land use decisions on general guidelines that are required to be harmonious rather than obeyed as regulations can lead to arbitrary, unfair and unpredictable land use decision-making which can vary with different decision-makers and which can be prove to be too vague to allow for Court review of the reasonableness of the decisions. Where decisions are based on general guidelines, the City has the burden to show why a generally permitted use is inappropriate to support a denial of the use. Sunderland Treatment Services v. City of Pasco, 127 Wn.2d 782, 903 P.2d 986 (1995) at page 797. Furthermore, the potential liability for making decisions based upon general Comprehensive Plan provisions is illustrated by testimony in favor of the passage of RCW Chapter 64.40 which prescribes liability for imposition of requirements or conditions in excess of the zoning or other restrictions upon the use of land under some circumstances. That testimony included in the legislative history of the bill is set forth in the case of Manna Funding, LLC v. Kittitas County, 295 P.3d 1197 (Wn. App. Div. III —2013) at page 1205: "In addition, a bill summary from the Washington Association of Realtors contained in the Senate Committee file sheds further light on the object of legislative remedy — government attempts to downzone property following receipt of applications. The Realtors summary explains that a typical example of the problem was a developer who filed a legal action claiming an arbitrary and capricious decision by the county for approving his plat, but with one-third less lots than allowed by zoning. Two years later,the court overturned the lower density so the plat was finally approved as originally requested with full density, but current law (pre-chapter 64.40 RCW) did not give the property owner any damages relief." (8) For reasons set forth in this section of the Decision, the Hearing Examiner concludes that the authorities support the City's position to the effect that general Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies usually constitute only guidelines for the Appeal by Gary Lofland of the 18 Makalii Preliminary Short Plat At 7411 Englewood Avenue APP#002-22 of PSP#003-22 DO . r�rl t`- 55 implementation of zoning regulations rather than independent regulations themselves. As previously indicated above, consistency with the Comprehensive Plan provisions mainly requires a determination that the zoning district regulations being applied to a proposed project have been declared by the City Council to be consistent with the Future Land Use Map designation for the property by its adoption of Comprehensive Plan provisions such as Exhibit 2-2 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan entitled Land Use Designations and implementing zoning districts. (9) The Comprehensive Plan provisions should only be elevated to the status of regulations if they are specific and mandatory and only in the absence of specific zoning regulations applicable to the aspect of the proposal at issue. In this Hearing Examiner's experience, such situations are extremely rare, having been applied in only one case out of over 700 decisions or recommendations issued since 2003 for a total of seven jurisdictions (New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC ("AT&T') by Smartlink, LLC — Yakima County CUP2019-00039 & SEP2019-00011). The Comprehensive Plan Goal 2.3 and Policy 2.3.2 do not prescribe specific lot size requirements in the absence of zoning ordinance lot size regulations. Requiring lots to be larger than the specific SR zoning district lot size regulations would raise questions as to where to draw the line on a slippery slope, how to ensure predictability and consistency in land use decisions by different decision-makers and how to satisfy a court that sufficient standards exist for deviation from specific zoning regulations. The northern portion of the Future Land Use Map (Document Index B-2) illustrates how difficult it would be, especially in newly annexed areas, to ensure that newly platted lot sizes are at least more than 60% of the size of the adjacent large lots in the neighborhood as Appellant contends should be required here. (10) Since the Makalii Preliminary Short Plat decision finds that the Low Density Residential Future Land Use designation provides for low density residential development and that the same goal and policy relied upon by the Appellant is applicable to this proposal, it is clear that the Administrative Official found the proposal to be consistent with those same provisions in view of the fact that the decision approves the proposal. Since the Makalii Preliminary Short Plat decision includes numerous findings as to the SR zoning regulations used to implement and be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, it in fact contains formal findings as to the proposal's consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. It also contains a formal conclusion as to compliance with the short plat requirements of YMC Chapter 14.15.

REASON FOR APPEAL -Describe the specific error(s) or issues(s)upon which the appeal is based, including an explanation of why the decision is not consistent with the Yakima Urban Area Plan, The Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance,or other provisions of law. (Reference the section,paragraph,and page of the provision(s)cited.)

II. VOID FOR VAGUENESS Appellant argues that because the term "neighborhood" is not defined, the municipal code section is unconstitutionally vague. Ordinances are presumed to be constitutional, and the appellant is responsible for proving otherwise. Every presumption should be made in favor of an ordinance being constitutional.' "An ordinance violates one's due process rights when it forbids conduct in terms so vague that persons of common intelligence must guess at its meaning and differ as to its application."2 If an ordinance provides fair notice of what is required in the context of well-defined usage and common understanding, it is not vague. An ordinance is not required to meet impossible standards of specificity.3 Not every word in the municipal code will be defined, and the fact that a word is undefined does not automatically rise to a constitutional void for vagueness claim. In cases where terms are undefined, their ordinary meaning can be ascertained from the dictionary.' Although "neighborhood" is not specifically defined in Yakima's code, the process provides for due process to the applicant and the surrounding property owners. What constitutes a neighborhood can be dependent on a variety of factors, so there is no, one, definition that could be used to evaluate every land use decision. This does not mean that the code is void for vagueness or that the public is not afforded due process—the public has an opportunity to be heard at a hearing or submit written comment, as well as the right to appeal, to explain their thoughts as to whether the property at issue in a land use application affects their neighborhood.5 1 Cannabis Action Coalition v.

HEARING EXAMINER'S DECISION IS NOT SUPPORTED BY SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AND FAILED TO ENGAGE IN THE REQUIRED ANALYSIS 1. The Hearing Examiner's Determination of the Neighborhood is in error. Appellant argues that the Hearing Examiner failed to properly define "neighborhood" in his decision by including all properties within the 300-foot notification radius rather than limiting the neighborhood to only those parcels provided in Doc G-3 (Appellant's argument included a copy of Exhibit G-3: Vicinity Map which includes acreage calculations of properties north of Englewood Avenue). Appellant states that access to the area south of Englewood is from 74th Avenue which is far from the subject property and therefore should not be considered. Rather, only the properties north of Englewood should be included because "It is a neighborhood of one-half acre lots." Preliminary Short Plat applications require public notification of properties within 300-feet of the site. This includes properties both north and south of Englewood Avenue. Staff agrees with the Hearing Examiner's Findings relative to the meaning of the word "Neighborhood" (Hearing Examiner's Decision Section X, pages 11-13). 2. Other Required Considerations Were Not Met. Appellant argues that the Hearing Examiner's decision is not supported by substantial evidence related to the stated goal to "preserve and enhance the quality, character, and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods and the Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.2.3 to "Ensure that new development is compatible in scale, style, density, and aesthetic quality to an established neighborhood." Appellant further argues that the proposal is not compatible in scale because 0.3 acres lots are 40% smaller than 0.5 acre lots; that the proposal is not compatible in density because they are not one-unit per 0.5 acre; and that the proposal is not compatible in style, again because the proposed lots are 40% smaller than 0.5 acre lots. Staff agrees with the Hearing Examiner's Findings relative to scale, style and density (Hearing Examiner Decision Section Xl. (4), (6), and (5), respectively— pagesl4-15). 3. What Was Not Addressed /The Examiner's Focus was Only on Compliance with the Code he Ignored Required Considerations. Appellant argues that the statement in YMC 15.01.030 "...designed to guard against and RECEIVED mitigate undue adverse impacts and protect individual neighborhoods..." and the same section's purpose of"Protecting existing land uses and property values from adverse MAR 2 7 2023 impacts of adjoining developments;" along with the Comprehensive Plan's purpose to "Preserve and enhance neighborhoods" are not considered or addressed in the Hearing CITY OF YAKIMp Examiner's decision. Appellant argues further"One cannot say that forcing three .3 acre PLANNING DIV lots in an area to .5 acre lots preserves, enhances and protects the neighborhood or protects property values." Appellant continues that the decision to accept the .3 acre lot size was solely because the minimum lot size was met. Appellant concludes that "the Hearing Examiner did not consider the clearly stated policy protection the property of the surrounding landholders as he was supposed to do." DOC. INDEX 2 63 This argument is not an accurate interpretation of YMC 15.01.030 or the Comprehensive Plan. Rather, this section lays the groundwork for the entire zoning ordinance, as implementing legislation of the Comprehensive Plan. The complete section provides the following: 15.01.030 Purpose and intent. The purpose of this title is to implement the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan and promote the general health, safety and welfare of present and future inhabitants of the Yakima urban growth area. The goals and policies of the urban area comprehensive plan will be used for interpretation and implementation. These goals are accomplished in many ways, including: 1. Achieving public and private land use decisions consistent with the policies and objectives of the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan; 2. Dividing the Yakima urban area into districts according to the use of land and structures and the intensity of such use; 3. Encouraging the location and use of structures and land for commerce, industry and residences in districts where they are compatible with neighboring land uses; 4. Encouraging development in areas where adequate public services including water and sewer, police and fire protection, roads, and schools can be provided; and limiting development in areas where these facilities are not provided; 5. Securing economy in local governmental expenditures; 6. Encouraging innovative site design; 7. Providing for adequate privacy, light, air, and view; 8. Promoting development within the Yakima urban growth area that is cost-effective to build and maintain; 9. Reducing the time required for public review of proposed projects; 10. Protecting existing land uses and property values from adverse impacts of adjoining developments; 11. Reducing traffic danger and congestion on roads and highways; 12. Minimizing public and private losses due to flooding. This title is designed to be flexible and intentionally increases the potential uses or choices available to individual property owners. This flexibility is balanced by procedures and standards based on the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan designed to guard against and mitigate undue adverse impacts and to protect individual neighborhoods and the community's general welfare. Both concepts are essential to this title and declared necessary for the promotion of the general health, safety and welfare. Further, this title divides all the land within the unincorporated portion of the Yakima urban area and the city of Yakima into zoning districts. Each zoning district has an intent statement that clearly defines the district's purpose, identifies the general character of the area within the district, and establishes policies to be achieved by development in the district. Distinctions between each district are significant and based on the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan. The intent statements serve as a guide to the administration and interpretation of this title and are declared to be an official statement of legislative finding and purpose. The establishment of the SR zoning district is a component of the Comprehensive Plan RECEIVED implementation as outlined in YMC 15.01.030. YMC 15.03.020 provides the following: MAR 2 .7 2023 CITY OF YAKIMA ®OC. PLANNING DIV ��®� 3 64 15.03.020 District and map overlay intent statements. The district intent statements define the specific purpose of each district and/or zoning map overlay. They shall reflect the policies of the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan; serve as a guide for determining the appropriate location of uses; help determine appropriate conditions for development; and help the administrative official interpret the standards and provisions. A. Suburban Residential District(SR). The intent of the suburban residential district is to provide a variety of residential lifestyles with densities generally ranging from one unit per five net residential acres to seven units per net residential acre. The higher density is reviewed and considered to be permitted when a public water system and the regional sewer system are available, or if these utilities are not available, community water and sewer systems may be allowed after review by Yakima County health district and the city of Yakima. (See YMC Chapter 15.05, Table 5-1.) This district is further intended to: 1. Limit residential density to one unit per five net residential acres in areas where flooding, airport noise, or other environmental constraints make the land unsuitable for residential use at higher densities. Development at a lower density will be reviewed to allow conversion to higher densities once utilities are available or other limiting issues are mitigated; 2. Maintain surface and groundwater quality along with the avoidance of potential health hazards, by limiting residential density to one unit per five net residential acres, in areas where public services will not be provided, and the dwelling units have individual wells and septic tanks. Development at a lower density will be reviewed to allow conversion to higher densities once utilities are available or other limiting issues are mitigated; 3. Provide the opportunity for suburban residential development, up to three dwelling units per net residential acre, in areas with either public water service or a community sewer system; and 4. Allow residential development to seven dwelling units per net residential acre in areas with both public water service and sewer system. This district is characterized by a mixture of land uses and residential densities including small farms, scattered low-density residential development, and clusters of higher-density residential development. The minimum lot size in the district varies according to the suitability of the land for development and the provision of urban level services. See YMC 15.05.030(E). The purpose of a district intent statement is to "reflect the policies of the Comprehensive Plan; and to serve as a guide for determining the appropriate location of uses." The SR zoning district allows residential densities up to seven dwelling units per net residential acre where public water and regional sewer are available, which is the case for the proposed short plat. YMC 15.03.030(C) provides the following: 15.05.030 Creation of new lots—Subdivision requirements. C. Minimum Lot Size.

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: Situation Required Minimum Lot Size In the floodplain, One acre (provided the minimum airport, and lot size of the underlying zoning greenway district shall apply, when, in the overlay districts: opinion of the reviewing official, the lot has a buildable area outside the overlay district and a plat restriction prohibits development on that portion of the lot within the overlay district).

YMC 15.05.030(C)(1) specifically provides that "In residential districts, this [minimum lot size] 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." All lots in the proposed preliminary short plat exceed the 6,000 square-foot minimum. The proposed density of approximately 2.3 dwelling units per net residential acre is well below the allowed 7 unit 4ECEIVEblaximum. DOC. MAR 2 7 2023 INDEX t ITY OF YAKIMA 5 PLANNING DIV 66 Neither the Comprehensive Plan nor the Zoning Ordinance require a minimum lot size for new subdivision as a function or percentage of the surrounding lot sizes. Rather adherence to the zoning ordinance standard, in this case a minimum 6,000 square-foot lot, is intended to maintain the residential character of the area, coupled with the intent to provide a variety of residential lifestyles "including small farms, scattered low-density residential development, and clusters of higher-density residential development" as stated in RCW 15.03.020(A). Development found to be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance requirements considers and implements the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. As such, by determining that the proposed development is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance, the Hearing Examiner determined that the proposed development was also consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. IV. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council uphold the Hearing Examiner's decision and deny Appeal APP#004-22. RECEIVED MAR 2 7 2023 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV DOC• 6 67 City of Yakima Appeal of the Decision of the Hearing Examiner '=DECEIVED APP#002-22 (PSP#003-22) MAR 0 9 2023 Before the Yakima City Council 011 Yin- YIANlivii PLANNING DIV I. INTRODUCTION This is an appeal from the November 7, 2022 decision of the Hearing Examiner. That decision granted the application of Lester and Sonya Makalii for a short plat to create four lots on approximately 1.78 acres. Three of the proposed lots are .3 acre. The long-established neighborhood surrounding the property in question consists of established lots of one-half acre or greater(the average lot size in Doc AA-1 and G-3 is .62 acre-attached). It is difficult to understand how a decision that allows the subject property to be divided to include three (3) lots, each .3 of an acre (a 40%reduction in size)preserves and enhances the quality, character, and function of the residential neighborhood. But that is what has occurred. The Planning Department and Hearing Examiner determined the 40% reduction in the size of the lots would preserve and enhance the character and function of this established neighborhood. Without a clear definition of a neighborhood they did so arbitrarily. II. THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE YAKIMA MUNICIPAL CODE The Yakima Municipal Code requires that a proposed short plat must be"...consistent with the standards of the city of Yakima zoning ordinance and urban area comprehensive plan." YMC 14.15.050. Formal written findings of fact are required. The Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 includes specific goals and policies: Goal 2.3. Residential Uses. Preserve and enhance the quality, character, and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods. Policy 2.3.2. Preserve and enhance established residential neighborhoods. Specifically: A. Ensure that new development is compatible in scale, style, density, and aesthetic quality to an established neighborhood. B. Protect the character of single-family neighborhoods by focusing higher intensity land uses close to commercial and community services and transit. 1 INDEX #.,.. d�.T.. .... 68 YMC 15.01.030 also instructs: ..."procedures and standards based on the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan [sic: are] designed to guard against and mitigate undue adverse impacts and to protect individual neighborhoods and the community's general welfare." The YMC also seeks to achieve "...private land use decisions consistent with the policies and objectives of the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan." Protecting existing land uses and property values from adverse impacts of adjoining developments. III. A CONSTITUTIONAL PROBLEM ARISES-VOID FOR VAGUENESS Although the YMC requires consideration of the neighborhood surrounding the subject property,the code does not define the word "neighborhood." The City conceded that in the memorandum filed before the Hearing Examiner. (Doc AA-3, page 5 line 11). The City also acknowledged the requirement that notice be provided to those properties within 300 feet of the subject property does not define a neighborhood(Doc AA-3, page 5 line 28-29). The City Planning Department arbitrarily decided the appropriate neighborhood was "...lots within '/4 mile in each direction" which is 1,320 feet (Doc A-1, page 4). No objective standard is provided, the term neighborhood is so vague that people of common intelligence differ and guess as to its meaning and is subject to arbitrary determination of what it means.. A statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men [and women] of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application, violates the first essential of due process of law. Anderson v City of Issaquah, 70 Wash. App. 64, 75 (Div. I, 1993). The purpose of the void for vagueness doctrine is to limit arbitrary and discretionary enforcements of the law. Burien Bark Supply v. King County, 106 Wash.2d at 871, 725 P.2d 994. In the area of land use, a court looks not only at the face of the ordinance but also at its application to the person who has sought to comply with the ordinance and/or who is alleged to have failed to comply. Burien Bark Supply v King County, 106 Wash.2d 868, 871, 725 P.2d 994. Here the deficiency of the YMC is clear, it cannot be ascertained from the statute what constitutes a neighborhood. The Planning department uses one measure, looking at lots within '/4 mile or 1320 feet in all directions. The city recognizes the 300-foot notification does not define a neighborhood but does not offer a definition, the hearing examiner looks at a 300-foot distance, no one is certain. ' CF!VND D . MAR 0 9 2023 1N DEX 2 IA Y ur Y Mime.s PLANNING OW 69 So, what is a neighborhood? Thus, on its face the YMC is unconstitutionally vague, and it is arbitrary in its application. Neighborhood can mean whatever the Planning department chooses it to mean. The YMC sections do not give effective or meaningful guidance. Thus, with no objective guidance each City Council member is left guessing at what is meant by neighborhood and will necessarily resort an arbitrary personal concept. This is the epitome of discretionary, arbitrary enforcement. This alone requires the decision of the Hearing Examiner to be overturned and the request for a short plat be denied. The provision of the YMC is void for vagueness. IV. THE HEARING EXAMINER'S DECISION IS NOT SUPPORTED BY SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AND HE FAILED TO ENGAGE IN THE REQUIRED ANALYSIS A. Substantial Evidence Substantial evidence is evidence sufficient to persuade a fair-minded, rational person of the truth of the declared premise. Worldwide Video, Inc. v. Tukwila, Wash.2d 382, 387, 816 P.2d 18 (1991). B. The Definition of the Word Consistent Since the YMC requires the proposed short plat to be consistent with both the zoning ordinance and the comprehensive plan it is important to understand the meaning of the work consistent. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines consistent as "marked by harmony, regularity, a steady continuity; free from variation or contradiction...marked by agreement...showing steady conformity." This definition must guide the analysis. C. The Hearing Examiner's Determination of the Neighborhood is in Error The Hearing Examiner found the neighborhood included the development south of Englewood which was within 300 feet of the subject property. (Decision page 13). The houses in that development that are within the 300-foot distance are part of a separate and distinct neighborhood of higher density houses on small lots. The area south has a fence the length of Englewood with no gates or openings that allow access to Englewood. The fence continues south on 74h. (Exhibit 3 A&B). The access to that development and those houses is on 74t" far from the subject property. As such those houses cannot be considered part of the neighborhood any more than those within 1/4 of a mile, the standard used by the Planning Department. The Hearing Examiner's Decision was in error. RECEIVED MAR 0 9 2023 3 St or- CI1 Y t YMI®iivir4 T" PLANNING DIV. 70 The appropriate neighborhood is that depicted in Doc G-3 which is attached. It is a neighborhood consisting of one-half acre lots. D. Other Required Considerations Were Not Met To meet the stated goal to "preserve and enhance the quality, character, and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods" the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 includes the policy that the city is to "Ensure that the new development is compatible in scale, style, density, and aesthetic quality to an established neighborhood. (Comprehensive Plan,Policy 2.3.2). The Hearing Examiner's decision is not supported by substantial evidence. The analysis must look to the meaning of the words used. Again, using the Merriam- Webster Dictionary we find: Preserve: "maintain" Enhance: "to increase or improve in value, quality, desirability, or attractiveness" Ensure: "guarantee" The Hearing Examiner's decision does not mention, let alone consider or apply, these requirements of the YMC. The Hearing Examiner was also clearly incorrect in his analysis: Scale is defined as proportion, ratio in size. The proposed lots of .3 of an acre. A 40% reduction in the one-half acre lots does not meet the requirement of scale. (There is a 50% reduction if the average size of the lot is used). Density is the average number of units by space. The neighborhood consists of one unit (house) for each half-acre. The short plat results in an increase in density, more houses on much smaller lots which is not the density of the neighborhood and is a higher density. Style is a distinctive quality, form, or type of something. The distinctive quality form or type of lot in the neighborhood is .5 acre. A 40% reduction in size is not the same style. E. What Was Not Addressed It is important to note what was not addressed by the Planning Department or the Hearing Examiner's decision. ' ECE%VED DOC. INDEX MAR 0 9 2023 # 4 t;11 Y Ul- AKIi►€It++ PLANNING DIV 71 YMC 15.01.030 states it is: "...designed to guard against and mitigate undue adverse impacts and protect individual neighborhoods..." And its purpose is: "Protecting existing land uses and property values from adverse impacts of adjoining developments." The Comprehensive Plan's purpose is to: "Preserve and enhance established neighborhoods." Those protections are not considered or addressed in the Hearing Examiner's decision. One cannot say that forcing three .3 acre lots in an area to .5 acre lots preserves, enhances and protects the neighborhood or protects property values. F. The Examiner's Focus was Only on Compliance with the Code he Ignored Required Considerations The reason why the above matters set forth in sections D and F above were not addressed was that the Examiner's focus was on the code. If the issue complied with the code, then it received his approval. He did not consider the Comprehensive Plan as applied to the issue. As an example, the Hearing Examiner found the .3-acre lot size was acceptable solely because they met the minimum lot size 6000 square foot lot size allowed in a SR zoning district (Decision page 14, XI(4)). Similarly, when considering density and aesthetic quality, the Hearing Examiner found the .3 acre lots acceptable because they met the 6000 square foot lot . (Decision page 14, XI (6) and (7). Consideration of quality was the same, if the lots fit within the zoning code they were acceptable. (Decision page 13, XI(1). The weighing of competing goals and policies is a fundamental planning responsibility of the local government. Spokane County v Eastern Washington Growth Management Hearings Board, 173 Wa. App. 310, 333 (Division III, 2013). The Hearing Examiner did not consider the clearly stated policy protection the property of the surrounding landholders as he was supposed to do. 'RECEIVED D C.

DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: Appeal of the decision for a Preliminary Short Plat in the SR zoning district. II. FACTS: A. Processing 1. The application for a 4-lot Preliminary Short Plat was received on April 13, 2022 and was deemed complete for processing on July 5, 2022. 2. This application was processed under the provisions of YMC Ch. 14.15 (Short- Subdivision Procedure). 3. The Administrative Official issued a Notice of Decision on August 11, 2022, approving the request subject to conditions. 4. On August 22, 2022, a timely appeal was filed by Gary Lofland. 5. Public Notice: Pursuant to YMC §§ 14.50.010 and 16.08.018 —Appeal of the Administrative Official's Decision: a. The subject site was posted with land use action signs on September 12, 2022; b. On September 14, 2022, a Notice of Appeal and Public Hearing was sent to parties of record, the applicant, and the appellant that set the hearing date of October 13, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. Yakima DOC. .1 INDEX 2015 1994 77 c. On September 14, 2022, a legal notice was provided in the Yakima Herald- Republic. B. Hearing Examiner Authority: In accordance with YMC §§ 14.50.010(F) and 16.08.018(G), the Hearing Examiner may affirm or reverse, wholly or in part, or modify the order, requirement, decision, or determination, and to that end shall have all the power of the officer from whom the appeal is taken. III. APPEAL RESPONSE: A. Appeal: The appellant provides the following statements (staff response is in italics). 1. In the decision dated August 11, 2022 the Planning Division of the Yakima Department of Community Development failed to consider or address the goals and policies of the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 Future Land Use Map. Goal 2.3 provides "Residential uses, Preserve and enhance the quality, character, and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods." Policy 2.3.2 provides "Ensure that new development is compatible in scale, style, density, and aesthetic quality to an established neighborhood." The Planning Department ignored documents submitted that clearly demonstrated that the surrounding property (13 lots) area all half acre lots. The Planning Department failed to address how the requested subdivision, which would result in three (3) lots of approximately one-fourth (.25) of an acre, is consistant (sic)with the Goals and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan 2040. The .25 acre lots are not compatible in scale, style, density, and aesthetic quality of the long established neighborhood. Nor does it enhance the quality and character of the residential neighborhood. The decision of the Planning Department failed to comply with the requirements of YMC 14.15.050 and .060. The decision of the Planning Department is incorrect and must be overturned. The request for Short Subdivision must be denied. Staff response: The staff report dated August 11, 2022, did not fail to consider or address goals in the Yakima Comprehensive Plan, nor did it ignore comments submitted by adjacent property owners. Section III.C. of the staff report notes that the site has a future land use designation of Low Density Residential and cites Goal 2.3 and Policy 2.3.2 as DOC. Gary Lofland INDEX APP#002-22 2 78 referenced in the appellant's statement above. While not explicitly cited in the staff report, the Principal Uses and Density of the Low Density Residential Future Land Use Designation include: Single-family detached dwellings are the predominant dwelling type...The permitted density is up to seven net dwelling units per acre for infill development. (Comp Plan 2040, 2.2.1(C)) The implementing zoning districts of the Low Density Residential Future Land Use Designation include SR and R-1 (Comp Plan 2040, 2.2.1(D)). Additional goals and policy statements which dictate how the Comprehensive Plan interacts with the Zoning Ordinance include: Goal 2.1 — Establish a development pattern consistent with the community's vision. Policy 2.1.1 —Designate the general distribution, location and extent of the uses of land for housing, commerce, recreation, open spaces, public utilities and facilities and other land uses. Policy 2.1.2— Establish land use designations, densities and intensities as shown under Goal 2.2. Policy 2.1.4— Manage and maintain the City's Official Zoning Map to ensure continued consistency with the Future Land Use Map. Policy 2.1.5— Implement land use designations through a clear regulatory process that ensures transparency, fairness, and predictability in the land development process. In accordance with YMC§ 15.03.020: "The district intent statements define the specific purpose of each district and/or zoning map overlay. They shall reflect the policies of the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan; serve as a guide for determining the appropriate location of uses; help determine appropriate conditions for development; and help the administrative official interpret the standards and provisions." As documented in Section III.D.b. of the staff report, the intent of the SR zoning district is to "...provide a variety of residential lifestyles with densities generally ranging from one unit per five net residential acres to seven units per net residential acre. The higher density is reviewed and considered to be permitted when a public water system and the regional sewer system are available...(4) Allow residential development to seven dwelling units per net residential acre in areas with both public water service and sewer system....The district is characterized by a mixture of land uses and residential densities including small farms, scattered low-density residential development, and clusters of higher- density residential development. The minimum lot size in the district varies DOC, Gary Lofland I NDEY APP#002-22 # 1a } 3 79 according to the suitability of the land for development and the provision of urban level services. See YMC 15.05.030(E)." Although "neighborhood"is not defined, looking at lots within 4 mile in each direction, there are residential lots in a range of sizes. To the south and southeast in newer developments the lot sizes are approximately 0.20 acre. In a newer development to the east, along Modesto Way, the lots are approximately 0.26 acre. To the north, in a newer development along Plateau Place, the lot sizes are between 0.40 and 0.50 acre. To the west along Graystone Court, the lot sizes average approximately 0.55 acre. Appellant states that the lot sizes of 0.25 acre per lot is incompatible with neighboring 0.50 acre lots. However, the Comprehensive Plan does not require that all residential lots are the same size or similar sizes to preserve and enhance established residential neighborhoods. Taking an overall evaluation of the proposed plat and the neighboring uses of land and neighborhood adjacent to the proposed plat location, the density of the proposed plat is compatible in scale. The single family neighborhoods'character is also protected through the approval of a plat with single family homes on similarly large lots. IV. CONCLUSIONS: A. The appellant has not submitted any evidence demonstrating that the Planning Department failed to comply with the requirements of YMC 14.15.050 and .060. The proposed lots are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the applicable provisions of the SR zoning district. B. The proposed lot are in conformance with the minimum lot sizes and density requirements for development with available. public water and sewer. a. Proposed lots range from approximately 14,401 to 63,579 square feet—the minimum lot size is 6,000 square feet. b. The proposed density is approximately 2.3 dwelling units per acre—the maximum density is 7 dwelling units per acre. C. The SR zoning district and applicable development standards conform with and implement the Low Density Residential Zoning District Future Land Use Designation of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. D. The Hearing Examiner has the jurisdiction to render a final decision on this matter. V. RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above findings and conclusions, the City of Yakima Planning Division recommends denial of the Appeal (APP#002-22) and retention of the Preliminary Short Plat decision (PSP#003-22).

(Reference the section,paragraph,and page of the provision(s)cited.) (Attach if lengthy): In the decision dated August 11,2022 the Planning Division of the Yakima Department of Community Development failed to consider or address the goals and policies of theYakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 Future Land Use Map. Qoal 2.3 provides"Residential uses. Preserve and enhance the quality, character,and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods."Policy 2.3.2 provides"Ensure that new development is compatable in scale,style,density, and aesthetic quality to an established neighborhood." The Planning Department ignored documents submitted that clearly demonstrated that the surrounding property(13 lots)are all half acre lots.The Planning Department failed to address how the requested subdivision,which would result in three(3)lots of approximately one-fourth (.25)of an acre,is consistant with the Goals and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan 2040. The.25 acre lots are not compatable in scale,style, density,and aesthetic quality of the long established neighborhood.Nor does it enhance the quality and character of the residential neighborhood. The decision of the Planning Department failed to comply withthe requirements of YMC 14.15.050 and.060.

SR Zoning District Defined: Pursuant to YMC § 15.03.020 (A), The intent of the suburban residential district is to provide a variety of residential lifestyles with densities generally ranging from one unit per five net residential acres to seven units per net residential acre. The higher density is reviewed and considered to be permitted when a public water system and the regional sewer system are available, or if these utilities are not available, community water and sewer systems may be allowed after review by Yakima County D . C. Lester and Sonya Makelii INDEX PSP#003-22 2 146 health district and the city of Yakima. (See YMC Chapter 15.05, Table 5-1.) This district is further intended to: 1. Limit residential density to one unit per five net residential acres in areas where flooding, airport noise, or other environmental constraints make the land unsuitable for residential use at higher densities. Development at a lower density will be reviewed to allow conversion to higher densities once utilities are available or other limiting issues are mitigated; 2. Maintain surface and groundwater quality along with the avoidance of potential health hazards, by limiting residential density to one unit per five net residential acres, in areas where public services will not be provided, and the dwelling units have individual wells and septic tanks. Development at a lower density will be reviewed to allow conversion to higher densities once utilities are available or other limiting issues are mitigated; 3. Provide the opportunity for suburban residential development, up to three dwelling units per net residential acre, in areas with either public water service or a community sewer system; and 4. Allow residential development to seven dwelling units per net residential acre in areas with both public water service and sewer system. This district is characterized by a mixture of land uses and residential densities including small farms, scattered low-density residential development, and clusters of higher-density residential development. The minimum lot size in the district varies according to the suitability of the land for development and the provision of urban level services. See YMC 15.05.030(E). c. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).: Pursuant to WAC 197-11-800 (6)(D), short plats are categorically exempt from the provisions of the State Environmental Policy Act. d.

Easements for new and/or future utility lines shall be a minimum of eight feet in width, or twice the buried depth of the utility, whichever is greater. e. Sidewalk Requirement: Pursuant to YMC § 15.05.020 (J), sidewalks on one side of the street are required with new construction (except single-family structures). A sidewalk is required if one exists within two hundred feet of the development on the same side of the street. Replacement of existing sidewalk is required only if existing sidewalk presents a safety hazard, except that for applications under the jurisdiction of the city of Yakima, the provisions of Title 12 of the Yakima Municipal Code shall prevail over the provisions of this section to the extent of any conflict between such provisions. f. Sewer Service Required: Pursuant to YMC § 12.03.010, all new lots and development shall be served by a sanitary sewer line located adjacent to the Lester and Sonya Makalii PSP#003-22 3 3. 147 lot or development site. g.

Service Required: Pursuant to YMC § 12.04.010, all new lots and development shall be served by a public water supply line maintained by the city of Yakima, Nob Hill Water Company, or other water purveyor, and located adjacent to the lot or development site. The water line shall be capable of providing sufficient flow and pressure to satisfy the fire flow and domestic service requirements of the proposed lots and development as approved by the city engineer in cooperation with the code administration manager and water irrigation division manager. i. Water Line Extension Required: Pursuant to YMC § 12.04.020, water lines shall be extended to the point where the adjoining property owner's responsibility for further extension begins. This typically requires extension across the street or easement frontage of the developing property. In some cases it will require dedication of an easement and a line extension across the property or extension along two or more sides of the developing property. Extensions will be consistent with and implement the city's adopted water comprehensive plan. j. Design Standards, Adjustment of Standards: Pursuant to YMC § 12.06.030, final design of street improvement standards is subject to approval by the city engineer. The engineer, at his/her sole discretion, may adjust these standards to facilitate construction of new streets and improvements of existing streets. k. Use of Public Sewers Required: Pursuant to YMC § 7.65.030 (E), the owners of all houses, buildings or properties used for human occupancy, employment, recreation or other purposes, and abutting on any street, alley or right-of-way in which there is now located or may in the future be located a public sewer of the city, are required at the owners' expense to install suitable toilet facilities therein and to connect such facilities directly with the proper public sewer in accordance with the provisions of this chapter within ninety days after date of official notice to do so; provided, that said public sewer is within two hundred feet of the property line. I. Allowance of Bond: Pursuant to YMC 14.05.200 (B), in cases of subdivision, the bond or other method of securing actual construction of required improvements shall be subject to approval by the city engineer and city attorney prior to approval of the final plat by the city council.

Rachael Miner: I received a letter informing me of a short plat development next to my property. I have lived in my home for eight years. The reason I moved to this location is the large lots surrounding my home, which allows me privacy. This four-lot development I highly oppose. The density of this development is small for three additional homes. In addition, the extra traffic and neighborhood noise would be much greater than what I want to live with. Our current community is very quiet and my neighbors are all opposed to this small lot being developed next to their homes. Please consider reducing the amount of homes that can be built on this single lot. Your decision to reduce the amount of home sites would be greatly appreciated. 2. Margaret S Fousha: I am writing to object to the subdivision proposed by the applicant "Makalii." I don't want this development in my neighborhood. We are overwhelmed with new construction right now. I have the usual complaints— increased noise, increased traffic, it obstructs my view. I also think the lost are small for homes in this area. I could accept 1 or 2 homes. Please consider my concerns in your decision. 3. Alfonso and Stella Pineda: This correspondence is in reply to the Notice of Application related to...PSP#003-22. We are owners of the property/residence located at 7409 Englewood Avenue which borders Mr. and Mrs. Makalii's property to the east. We maintain ownership of said property in Yakima but have relocated to...Arizona. We respectfully request you to consider: 1. Whether existing/current properly lines are not protected/vested due to passage of time (grandfathered). D a o P Lester and 22onya Makalii I DEX 6 150 2. Any physical changes along the property lines do not have any financial impact on us, changes to any utilities and/or irrigation system be made at no expense to us. 3. Any such construction, fences, structure do not impact any future development of our easements, setbacks, etc. These considerations are submitted to protect our current and future interests. I assume that your department is neutral and consider the impact being proposed by Mr. and Mrs. Makalii. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. 4. Neighborhood group (Gary and Marcia Lofland, Margaret S Fousha, Frank Torres): Please consider these comments to the application. We are opposed to the application for the following reasons: 1. The application misrepresents the useable space for proposed lots 3 and 4 because it does not consider easements. The useable space is significantly less. Using the designated width of the driveway to lot 1 which is 22.72 as the width of the easements it is discovered: a. Lot 4 is represented as being 13,793 SF. The easement on the west is 42.9 feet in length. The easement wet to northeast is 121.29 feet in length. The easements are 22.72 feet wide. Thus 49 x 22.72 = 974.69. the west-northeast easement is 121.29 x 22.72 = 2769.57. The total of the easements reduces the useable property by 3744.26 SF bringing the actual useable property to 10,048.74 SF. b. Lot 3 is represented as being 13,296 SF. The easement on the west is 100.5 feet in length. Thus 105.5 x 22.72 = 2396.96 SF. The actual useable property in 10899.04 SF. 2. A large portion of the north boundary of lot 4 contains a steep drop-off which because of the slope of the access driveway created by the existing easement there is even less useable space in lot 4. 3. There is no access easement designated for lots 2 and 4 from the property driveway. 4. The south boundary of proposed lot 2 has a steep drop-off to the road. The distance from the road to the south border of the lot is over 15-feet. This may be unstable with excavation. This is not shown in the application or Preliminary Short Plat which in 4(B) indicates no "unstable soil — i.e. slides or slipping". 5. The proposed division of the property into small lots degrades the character of the neighborhood north of Englewood Avenue. All surrounding lots are approximately one-half(.5) of an acre. We ask the Department to deny the application. Staff response to submitted comments: 1. The proposed lot sizes and density are consistent with the SR zoning district for development that has access to public sewer and water. The minimum lot Lester and Sonya Makalii OC° PSP#003-22 7 151 size is 6,000 square-feet and the maximum density is 7 units per acre. This proposal includes a minimum lot size of 13,296 square feet and is at a density of approximately 2.3 dwellings per acre. 2. There are no physical changes to the exterior property lines that would impact adjacent parcels. All connections to existing utilities and/or extensions of utilities are the financial responsibility of the applicant. 3. The area impacted by easements is still part of the proposed lots overall lot size,just as they are part of the existing lot's overall lot size. No structures are allowed in any easement and no grading, landscaping, or other such improvement is allowed which would render an easement unusable for its intended purpose. The "useable"space outside of the easements on all lots is still in excess of the 6,000 square-foot minimum lot size in the SR zone. 4. The subject property is not within a mapped geologically hazardous area. The applicant is required to provide temporary erosion and sediment control plan prior to any grading on the property. E. Development Services Team Review: A Development Services Team (DST) Review was held on August 2, 2022 for technical review of the plat, and the following comments were received: 1. Code Administration a. Due to the location of publicly available fire hydrants, an additional fire hydrant will need to be in stalled to serve new structures, if proposed, in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Washington State Fire Code. b. These findings are not intended to be an exhaustive review of this proposal. c. Preliminary addressing for this proposal: Lot 1: 7411 Englewood Ave Lot 2: 7413 Englewood Ave Lot 3: 7415 Englewood Ave Lot 4: 7417 Englewood Ave 2. Engineering a. This project requires Title 8 and Title 12 improvements, including but not limited to the following: i. YMC 8.60 and 12.05— New curb, gutter and sidewalk, including associated pavement widening and storm drainage, shall be installed along the site's frontage. Street improvements shall conform to standard detail R3. New sidewalks shall be constructed per standard detail R5. ii. YMC 8.64— Driveway(s) to be constructed per this chapter and standard detail R4. iii. YMC 8.72 —An excavation and street break permit shall be obtained for all work within the public right of way. Refer to chapter 8 for requirements. Lester and Sonya Makalii O ° PSP#003-22 ; X 8 152 Civil engineering plans and an ENG permit will be required for new improvements. iv. 12.02 — Easements shall be established per this chapter. v. 12.06 — Street and right of way widths shall conform to this section unless otherwise approved. Englewood is classified as a Residential, requiring a right of way width of 50 `(25' half width). Adequate right of way shall be dedicated if necessary to provide for 25' width from centerline of right-of- way along frontage. b. 14.05.200 / 14.20.130 —All frontage improvements shall be completed prior to short plat approval. At the discretion of the City Engineer, the owner may bond for required frontage improvements, or may be allowed to postpone improvements through a Covenant/Deferral Agreement. If bonding is allowed, it shall be executed and recorded prior to or as part of approval of the short plat. Civil engineering plans, which are stamped and signed by a civil engineer, are required to be submitted for review and approval for all Title 12 improvements and prior to approval of bonding. If frontage improvements are required at this time, they shall be completed prior to Certificate of Occupancy. 3. Wastewater a. Each lot is required to be connected to City sewer mainline with an independent side sewer connection. Proposed connections for each lot with associated easement identification, if needed, will need to be shown on the site plan for wastewater approval. 4. Surface Water Engineer a. For the plat itself there are no comments. Prior to clearing and grading the applicant shall submit a TESC plan for review and approval and shall pass an erosion control inspection. 5. Nob Hill Water Association a. Owner/developer will need to contact Nob Hill Water to obtain a cost estimate for mainline extension for the four new lots. Owner will need to submit signed engineered plans to Nob Hill Water for water connection. 6. Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District a. Parcel 181317-34422 is within the District boundary and has 1.52 shares of Yakima-Tieton Irrigation, so they will need to show"Irrigation Approval" on the face of the short plat. They will need to follow our Resolution 97-5. V. CONCLUSIONS: A. This Preliminary Short Plat, as conditioned, complies with the general requirements for short subdivision approval as specified by YMC Ch. 14.15 and 15.05. B. The proposed short subdivision appropriately provides for the public health, safety and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys and other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds and shall consider all other Lester and Sonya Makalii PSP#003-22 g 5 153 relevant facts, including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who walk to and from school. The administrator may determine that other considerations are appropriate to evaluate as criteria for approval. C. The proposed short plat serves the public use and interest. VI.

We are opposed to the application for the following reasons. 1. The application misrepresents the usable space for proposed lots 3 and 4 because it does not consider easements. The useable space is significantly less. Using the designated width of the driveway to lot 1 which is 22.72 as the width of the easements it is discovered: a. Lot 4 is represented as being 13,793 SF. The easement on the west is 42.9 feet in length. The easement west to northeast is 121.29 feet in length. The easements are 22.72 feet wide. Thus 42.9 x 22.72= 974.69. The west-northeast easement is 121.29 x 22.72= 2769.57. The total of the easements reduces the useable property by 3744.26 SF bringing the actual useable property to 10,048.74 SF. 1. DOC. INDEX _,_ -3 • 167 RECEIVED JUL 2 6 2022 co Of Y AK1MA b. Lot 3 is represented as being 13,296 SF. The easement on the west is 100.5 feet in length. Thus 105.5 x 22.72= 2396.96 SF. The actual useable property is 10899.04 SF. 2. A large portion of the north boundary of lot 4 contains a steep drop-off which because of the slope of the access driveway created by the existing easement there is even less useable space in lot 4. The drop off is shown in red in the attached. A photograph is included. 3. There is no access easement designated for lots 2 and 4 from the property driveway. 4. The south boundary of proposed lot 2 has a steep drop-off to the road. The distance from the road to the south border of the lot is over 15 feet. This may be unstable with excavation. This is not shown in the application or Preliminary Short Plat which in 4(B) indicates no "unstable soil- i.e., slides or slipping". The area is shown in red on the attachment. Two pictures are attached. 5. The proposed division of the property into small lots degrades the character of the neighborhood north of Englewood Avenue. All surrounding lots and nearby lots are approximately one-half (.5) of an acre as shown by the attached exhibit which was developed from the Yakima County website. 2.

I have lived in my home for eight years. The reason I moved to this location is the large lots surrounding my home, which allows me privacy. This four lot development I highly oppose. The density of this development is small for three additional homes. In addition,the extra traffic and neighborhood noise would be much greater than what I want to live with. Our current community is very quiet and my neighbors are all opposed to this small lot being developed next to their homes. Please consider reducing the amount of homes that can be built on this single lot. Your decision to reduce the amount of home sites would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Rachael Miner Reference#: PSP#003-22 (Lester and Sonya Makalii) FD E 175 Alfonso and Stella Pineda 12432 W Sunland Avenue Avondale, Arizona 85323 July 26, 2022 Ms Joan Davenport AICP City of Yakima Department of Community Development 129 N 2nd Street Yakima, WA 98901 Subject: PSP#0003-22 Makalii Dear Ms Davenport: This correspondence is in reply to the Notice of Application related to the above referenced File PSP#003-22.
