AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 7.C.
For Meeting of: March 5, 2024
ITEM TITLE: Set date of April 2, 2024 for a closed record public hearing to
consider the Planning Commission's Recommendation on text
amendments to YMC Title 14 - Subdivision Ordinance
SUBMITTED BY: Joan Davenport,AICP, Community Development Director
*Eric Crowell, Senior Planner
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The City of Yakima Planning Division is proposing non-project minor amendments to the City of
Yakima's Municipal Code Title 14. The first approval in the Preliminary Short Plat/Long Plat
process includes a decision with various requirements such as frontage improvements and utility
connections. Before the Final Short Plat/Long Plat can be signed off by the City Engineer and
Subdivision Administrator, those requirements have to be completed or bonded for. There are
currently two locations within the Subdivision Ordinance that discuss this process, which are not
consistent. The following changes remove ambiguity in the interpretation of multiple code sections by
providing consistency and clarification by outlining the process and review criteria in a single section.
The Yakima Planning Commission held an open record public hearing on February 14, 2024 and
recommended approval of these changes.
