PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: The City of Yakima Planning Division is proposing non-project minor amendments to the City of Yakima's Municipal Code Titles 14,15 and 16. The Planning Commission held eleven study sessions for these proposed amendments on August 24, 2022; September 28, 2022; October 12, 2022; October 26, 2022; December 14, 2022; January 11, 2023; February 8, 2023; February 22, 2023; March 8, 2023; March 22, 2023; and April 12, 2023. Proposed Amendment Sections: The complete track changes text can be found in Exhibit "A" and is incorporated herein by reference. A summary of the amendments is as follows: 1. YMC § 15.02.020 — Definitions a. New definition for"Home occupation, home office" b. Modified definition for"Home occupation, product assemblage/repair" c. Modified definition for"Mixed-use building and Downtown Business District Multifamily Development" Staff Analysis: The proposed new and modified definitions are to ensure consistency with the modified code sections below. 2. YMC § 15.04.120 — Home occupations a. Purpose section —change to allow home occupations in any existing dwelling, regardless of zoning district and added purpose statement to preserve the dwelling as the primary use. b. Table 4-2 —consolidation of several uses into broader categories such as "home office" and "food preparation," and a statement that dwellings in the commercial and industrial zones will follow the land use review level found under R-3 in the table. c. Application fee and review period—allowing an aerial photo of the property to be used in lieu of a site plan in certain situations. DOC. 11�fl1� Yakhna 41mrCp 2015 1994 10 Staff Analysis: These changes are proposed to streamline the home occupation approval process, reduce redundant categories in the table of permitted home occupations, and allow for home occupations to be conducted in all dwellings, regardless of zoning district. 3. YMC § 15.05.030, Table 5-1 — Design Requirements and Standards a. Cleanup to the table for the commercial and industrial setback from collector arterials, local access and private roads. Staff Analysis: This action is a cleanup to the table. Extra lines were placed in the table at some point which created confusion when relaying the setback requirement from certain street types in the industrial zones. 4. New Section: YMC § 15.09.025— Mixed-Use Building and Downtown Business District Multifamily Development a. New section that includes standards and requirements for Mixed Use Buildings and Multifamily development in the downtown business district. b. Includes level of review requirements —combinations of Class 1 and 2 uses will undergo Type 1 Review, if a Class 3 uses is proposed then Type 2 Review is required. c. Includes a list of prohibited uses such as wholesale trade and storage, transportation and automotive uses, rental and repair uses, etc. d. Development standards require a minimum of 50% of the building usage to be residential with at least 80% of the ground floor dedicated for commercial use. e. Parking requirements include location and design criteria, and screening requirements. f. Certain zones allow for a height bonus if the increase is intended to add more dwelling units, accommodate parking, and include more landscaping. g. Design standards for the downtown include entrance location, window requirements, blank wall requirements, equipment screening, parking and setback requirements. Staff Analysis: This new section is added to provide a streamlined process for new development or redevelopment projects that include a mixture of high density residential along with complimentary retail, commercial or professional uses, along with updated standards for multifamily development in the downtown area. These amendments are consistent with the Housing Action Plan Strategy 7: Create design standards for multifamily and mixed-use development. 5. YMC §§ 15.13.020 and 15.13.025—Type 1 Review a. Addition to 15.13.020 to account for the exemption provided by new section 15.13.025 b. New section 15.13.025— Central Business District—Type (1) review exemption. This section exempts Class 1 uses under the Retail Trade and Service portion of YMC 15.04.030, Table 4-1 in the CBD zone from requiring Type (1) review unless new construction or expansion of an existing structure is proposed. Staff Analysis: This proposed change is intended to streamline review for change in use proposals in the CBD. In the CBD zone, there generally isn't a lot of review necessary for new uses going into an existing building. Many buildings take up the entire parcel, the CBD is in the 2 COO. 11 downtown parking exempt zone, any permit-related issues such as a sampling port of kitchen hood requirement would be handled by the Wastewater and Codes Divisions. This proposal would allow any proposed Class 1 Retail Trade and Service Use in an existing building in the CBD without Type 1 Review. 6. YMC Ch. 15.29—Wireless Communication Facilities a. Several sections within Ch. 15.29 are being amended to reflect accurate permit type and processing, application requirements, fees, design standards, small wireless requirements, and appeal processing. Staff Analysis: These changes incorporate several updates required by the FCC, include appropriate references for fee locations and appeal language, and overall provide for a more efficient and streamlined process. 7. YMC § 15.30.060 Land use overlays a. Providing for an administrative or hearing examiner review option for uses in land use zone 5 listed as prohibited in Appendix F of the WSDOT compatible land use guidebook. Staff Analysis: This change will allow for a property owner or developer to go through a higher level of review to potentially allow a use which is otherwise prohibited in the zone but is prohibited by the WSDOT land use compatibility guidebook. 8. YMC §§ 14.15.100 and 14.20.230 —final plat recording process a. This change specifies that residential permits will not be issued until a recorded final plat or final short plat is received. Staff Analysis: This change is intended to differentiate when permits will be withheld pending receipt of a recorded final plat. Confirmation that a plat is recorded is not necessary for commercial or industrial construction, and therefore permits should not be dependent of receipt of the recorded document. 9. YMC Ch. 14.50 -Appeals a. The majority of this chapter is removed —appeals of actions from YMC Title 14 will be processed under the procedures found in YMC Ch. 16.08 Staff Analysis: This change consolidates all appeal processing to YMC Ch. 16.08. 10. YMC §§ 16.05.020 and 16.05.030— Public Comment a. Amending the public comment period from 20 days to 14 days. Staff Analysis: This change will help streamline processing. State law requires a minimum 14- day comment period, including for SEPA comments. This is consistent with surrounding jurisdictions such as the City of Selah and Yakima County. This change also implements Housing Action Plan Strategy 8— Improve permitting and environmental review process. II.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (To be completed by the Space Reserved For applicant.) (IT IS NOT NECESSARY to use this sheet for project actions) Agency Comments Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment. When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities that would likely result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms. 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production,storage,or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? The proposed changes will not affect how land uses discharge to water, emissions to the air, storage,or release of toxic or hazardous substances,or the production of noise. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: None proposed. Any future measures to avoid such increases will be dealt with at the project level. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants,animals,fish,or marine life? The proposed changes will not affect plants,animals, fish,or marine life,as they are regulatory in nature. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants,animals,fish,or marine life are: None proposed. Any future measures to avoid such increases will be dealt with at the project level.
