to do this during the pendency of the rezone and CPA, or before submitting such application

BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA,WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 3.
For Meeting of:August 22, 2023
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing a Memorandum of Understanding regarding
mental health services at Camp Hope temporary emergency
homeless encampment
SUBMITTED BY: Sara Watkins, City Attorney
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Comprehensive Healthcare received grant funds to provide mental health services through a
mental health clinic at Camp Hope. Since the property is zoned suburban residential, a mental
health clinic is currently not an allowed use. This Memorandum of Understanding outlines the
roles of the parties moving forward to apply for the rezone of the property, and interim aspects of
the project. Ultimately, in the event all actions are successful, the City would lease a parcel of
property to Comprehensive Healthcare to be used as a mental health clinic for the adjacent
temporary emergency homeless encampment, similar to how it is leasing property to Grace City
Outreach for Camp Hope.
ITEM BUDGETED:
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: Partnership Development
APPROVED FOR SUBMITTAL BY THE CITY MANAGER
