The subject property is currently vacant, with 15.82 acres of the 27.91 acres of property encumbered with a FEMA 100 -year floodplain designation /Critical Area, and is located at 8603 Wide Hollow Rd., Yakima, WA. City Staff provided a report which identified that the subject applications meet all eight criteria for approval for both a Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application, and concurrent Rezone including but not limited to: Comprehensive Plan Approval Criteria: 1. Address circumstances that have changed since the last time the relevant Comprehensive Plan Map or text was considered: 2. Better implement applicable Comprehensive Plan policies than the current relevant Comprehensive Plan map or text. 2015 Yakima Planning Commission 2 00 0. ; Comprehensive Plan Amendment Findings and Recommendations INDEX 3. Address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Correct an obvious mapping error. 5. The proposed CPAs must be consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA), Ch. 36.70A. RCW, and the Yakima County Wide Planning Policies (CWPP). 6. The cumulative impacts of all CPAs, including those approved since the original adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, shall be considered in the evaluation of any proposed amendments. 7. The proposed CPA is coordinated with, and take into consideration, the Comprehensive Plans adopted by Yakima County or cities with which the City of Yakima has, in part, common borders or related regional issues as may be required by RCW 36.70A.100. 8. The amendment must provide descriptive information regarding the property, including the status of existing land use, access to sewer and water, as well as the availability of public facilities such as schools, fire and police services. Rezone Approval Criteria: 1. Testimony at public hearing. 2. The suitability of property in question for uses permitted under the proposed zoning. 3. The recommendations from interested agencies and departments. 4. Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. 5. The adequacy of public facilities, such as roads, sewer, water, and other required public services. 6. The compatibility of the proposed zone change and associated uses with neighboring land uses. 7. What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as sitescreening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc.? 8. The public need for the proposed change. On October 29, 2015, prior to the Planning Commission's deliberation on CPA #004 -15 and RZ #004 -15, the applicant requested that the Planning Commission reopen the public testimony portion of the public hearing to receive a modified proposal, possibly addressing some of the public's concerns. As requested the Planning Commission reopened the public testimony portion of the public hearing. The applicant presented a revised proposal showing the proposed street alignments, and development along the east and west property lines of common wall dwellings. Due to the submittal of the new proposal the Planning Commission continued the public hearing to November 16, 2015. On November 12, 2015, the applicant submitted a second modified proposal to the City of Yakima Planning Division requesting a buffer of R -2 property along the east and west property lines and along a proposed road running east and west in front of the Foursquare church property. After reviewing the revised proposal, receiving substantial written comments, and taking public testimony during their October 27, 29th, and November 16, 2015 public hearings, the Yakima Planning Commission determined that the original proposal of High Density Residential was best suited to support future development of the subject property and met the criteria of YMC 16.10.040. However, the original and modified rezone proposals were not well suited to support 2015 Yakima Planning Commission 3 Comprehensive Plan Amendment ° ' Findings and Recommendations r1 DEX the alteration of the zoning map, and did not meet the Rezone criteria of YMC § 15.23.030 for the following reasons: YAKIMA PLANNING COMMISSION'S CONCLUSIONS Comprehensive Plan Amendment: The Planning Commission found the following: 1. The circumstances that have changed since the last time the relevant Comprehensive Plan Map or text was considered was that: 1) the Federal Emergency Management Agency 100 -year Floodplain map had been changed since adoption of the City's Comprehensive Plan, and could possibly be further modified in the future to remove some of the proponents land from the floodplain; and 2) the City of Yakima adopted the West Valley Neighborhood Plan which supports an increase in affordable housing, and provides planning for extension of utilities, and public streets to serve the subject property and surrounding area. 2. The proposal met numerous Comprehensive Plan policies which supports approval of the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment. 3. The identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan that is addressed by this proposal is that the City of Yakima currently has a very limited supply of property that is designated High Density Residential with Multi - Family Residential (R -3) zoning that is vacant and developable (currently 20.81 acres). In the event that this Comprehensive Plan is approved it would add an additional 27.91 acres of High Density property to meet the City's Growth Management Act affordable housing goals. 4. No mapping errors were found to exist with the subject property. 5. The proposed CPA was found to be consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA), Ch. 36.70A. RCW, and the Yakima County Wide Planning Policies (CWPP). 6. The cumulative impacts of all CPAs are that if all CPA applications requesting High Density Residential are approved, there would be a total of 81.06 acres of new High Density property for development created within the City of Yakima that could support a minimum of 973 dwelling units. 7. The proposed CPA was found to be coordinated with, and take into consideration, the Comprehensive Plans adopted by Yakima County as required by RCW 36.70A.100. 8. The amendment and existing City plans provided sufficient descriptive information regarding the property to show the status of existing land use; the property could be served by sewer and water; public streets could be extended in the future following dedication of surrounding property owners; public facilities such as schools were currently inadequate, but could meet the increased demand in the future; and fire and police services were adequate to serve the property. Rezone: 2015 Yakima Planning Commission 4 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Findings and Recommendations )H11 o 1. Testimony at the public hearing: The Planning Division /Commission received 41 written responses in opposition to the applicant's requested Comprehensive Plan and Rezone applications. A total of 163 members of the public appeared at the Planning Commission hearings over the course of the three hearing dates, providing testimony that includes but is not limited to: The application doesn't provide for a future road network; there is already enough R -3 property in the City; the school system is inadequate; the 100 -year floodplain has not yet been relocated; school busses are over capacity; the quality of the neighborhood will be reduced; decreased property values; the project does not meet all of the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan; traffic impacts have not been addressed; an analysis of available rental properties should be conducted; fear of bankrupt development and increased crime; the total number of apartments that can be built will increase the amount of traffic and children beyond the capacity of the street grid network and school system. In response to the multitude of public comments, the applicant's representative provided a lengthy review of the application approval criteria, and presented the Commission with the trip generation rates for both single - family homes and multi - family apartment complexes from the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, and a scientific study from the National MultiFamily Housing Council conducted by Harvard University titled Apartments Versus Schools Redux (March 2014) comparing number of children in multi- family housing v.s. single - family homes. 2. Although the property in question may be suited in the future for the permitted uses of multi - family apartments, the subject property today is not suited to allow development of multi - family apartments and /or a combination of other styles of higher density housing due to the fact that 15.82 acres of the subject property is encumbered by the FEMA 100 - year floodplain, and it presently unknown if the subject property will be removed from the floodplain due to the efforts of Yakima County Flood Control District. Furthermore, the lack of dedicated right -of -way for public streets, and frontage improvements east and west of along Nob Hill Blvd., and Wide Hollow Rd. create a situation which make this proposed rezone not ripe for development at this time. 3. The West Valley School District commented that the district lacked capacity to handle the increase amount of children that would come from the future development of the R -3 zoning, and requested "reconsideration" of the Rezone application. 4. The Commission found that the proposed Rezone met many of the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, but failed to meet goal 2.4.12 "Do not allow medium or high density zoning within the 100 -year floodplain unless clustering away from the floodplain is required ". 5. The commission found that the property could be served by sewer and water; and fire and police services were adequate to serve the property. However, the public services of streets and schools were currently inadequate due to lack of dedication of right -of -way on Nob Hill Blvd. and Wide Hollow Rd., and failure of a school bond. 6. It was found that if the issues of an appropriate street network, flooding, and school district capacity were resolved, the applicant's modified rezone proposal and associated uses would have been deemed compatible due to the fact that the City of Yakima's Comprehensive Plan, and adopted West Valley Neighborhood Plan, establish that Multi - Family developments (R -3) should be established along Arterial streets and 2015 Yakima Planning Commission 5 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Findings and Recommendations nto EX A4 -3 intersections, have adequate utilities, and provide a street grid pattern which will buffer the proposed R -3 zoning from that of the surrounding residential properties and neighboring land uses. 7. No mitigating measures were planned as part of this Rezone application. 8. The public need for this proposed change stems from the fact that the City of Yakima presently does not have a sufficient amount of R -3 property to meet its 20 -year Comprehensive Plan goals and policies to ensure affordable housing. If all CPA applications requesting High Density Residential and Multi - Family Residential are approved, there would be a total of 81.06 acres of new R -3 property for development within the City of Yakima that could support a minimum of 973 dwelling units. MOTION Based upon the analysis, findings and conclusions outlined above, it was moved and seconded that the Yakima Planning Commission recommend APPROVAL of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment request from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential and DENIAL of the Rezone request from Single - Family Residential (R -1) to Multi- Family Residential (R -3). The motion carried by a vote of 6 to 1. Having made the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions, the Planning Commission hereby renders its RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL The Planning Commission of the City of Yakima, having received and considered all evidence and testimony presented at the public hearings, and having received and reviewed the record herein, hereby recommends that the City Council of the City of Yakima Approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA #004 -15,) and Deny the concurrent rezone (RZ #004- 15).

Continued public hearing on proposal by applicant "What the Hay" (File numbers CPA #004 -15 and RZ #004 -15), was scheduled for November 16, 2015. Now therefore, the Yakima City Planning Commission presents the following findings and recommendations of DENIAL, for 2 of 9 proposals, to the Yakima City Council: FILE NUMBER: CPA # 005 -15, RZ #005 -15 APPLICANT: TM Rentals LOCATION: Vicinity of South 40th Avenue & Logan Avenue PARCEL NOS: 181327 - 43492, - 43493, and -43494 The City of Yakima Planning Division provided a detailed staff report to the Planning Commission for review during their October 28, 2015 public hearing, with the recommendation of APPROVAL of the proposed amendment. However, based upon a view of the site, the information contained in the application, the revised proposal, exhibits, testimony and other evidence presented at an open record public hearing held on October 28, 2015; and a review of the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan and the Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance; the Planning Commission makes the following: FINDINGS The applicant requests a change in the Future Land Use Map designation from Low Density Residential to Professional Office and a concurrent Rezone from Single - Family Residential (R -1) to Professional Business (B -1). 2015 Yakima Planning Commission ( • . Comprehensive Plan Amendment Findings and Recommendations 2 �� The subject property includes three tax parcels located in the vicinity of West Logan Avenue, between South 40th and South 38th Avenues. On August 26, 2015, the applicant amended their application to include a 100 -foot buffer of property located along W. Logan Ave with a Comprehensive Plan designation of Low Density Residential, and zoning of Single - Family Residential (R -1) to buffer the existing neighborhood from the proposed professional office designation. After reviewing the revised proposal, receiving substantial written comments, and taking public testimony during their July 27, 2015 study session, and October 28, 2015 public hearing, the Yakima Planning Commission determined that the revised proposal does not meet the criteria of YMC 16.10.040 or YMC 15.23.030 required to support the alteration of the Future Land Use Map or zoning map of the City of Yakima for the following reasons: a) The amendment proposal is not in line with the character of the neighborhood, specifically, the character of the Professional Office Comprehensive Plan designation, and Professional Business (B -1) zoning district is not compatible with the surrounding Low Density Single - Family Residential neighborhood; b) There is uncertainty of the impacts of the proposal on the existing critical area features that is existing on the southern boundary of the site; c) It was understood by the neighborhood, and previous planning efforts, that the creek would act as a boundary to commercial development, to limit the encroachment of the commercial development into the residential neighborhood; d) Surrounding existing properties have enough vacancies to support additional commercial uses, and there has been no sufficient indication showing that establishment of B -1 zoning of this property will outweigh the need to preserve compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood; e) Due to the non - project nature of these applications, it is uncertain if the future development of the property will have significant adverse impacts or consequences. For example, the potential traffic impacts on the unimproved residential roads of the adjacent neighborhood; and f) The non - project nature of the application does not provide enough certainty that the City of Yakima's development regulations will adequately provide for all public facilities such as roads and appropriate driveway locations, so as to not impact the surrounding neighborhood. YAKIMA PLANNING COMMISSION'S CONCLUSIONS 1. The Comprehensive Plan and Rezone applications are minor in nature. 2. Adverse impacts have been identified and are included in the above Findings. 3. Substantial written comments or testimony were received in opposition to the application. 4. The Professional Office Comprehensive Plan designation does not better implement the goals and policies of the Comprehensive given the neighborhood's residential nature. 2015 Yakima Planning Commission Comprehensive Plan Amendment Findings and Recommendations INDEX 3 5. The public need for increased Professional Office land use designations, and Professional Business zoning, is outweighed by public testimony in opposition to these applications. 6. The non - project nature of these applications do not provide enough certainty that the City of Yakima's development regulations will adequately provide for all public facilities such as roads and appropriate driveway locations, so as to not impact the surrounding neighborhood. MOTION Based upon the analysis, findings and conclusions outlined above, on October 28, 2015, it was moved and seconded that the Yakima Planning Commission recommend DENIAL of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment request from Low Density Residential to Professional Office and DENIAL of the Rezone request from Single - Family (R -1) to Professional Business (B -1). The motion carried by a vote of 3 -2. FILE NUMBER: CPA # 008 -15, RZ #008 -15 APPLICANT: Chelminar Association, Inc. LOCATION: Vicinity of Chestnut Avenue South 46th Avenue PARCEL NOS: 181312 - 33473, -33474 Based upon a view of the site, the information contained in the application, staff report, exhibits, testimony and other evidence presented at an open record public hearing held on October 29, 2015; and a review of the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan and the Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance; the Planning Commission makes the following: FINDINGS The applicant requests to change the Future Land Use Map designation for two tax parcels from Low Density Residential to Professional Office and the zoning district designation from Single- Family Residential (R -1) to Professional Business (B -1). The subject properties contain an existing building presently occupied by a fraternal organization, and is located at 206 S. 48th Ave., Yakima, WA. City Staff provided a report which identified that the subject applications meet all eight criteria for approval for both a Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application, and concurrent Rezone including but not limited to: The requested change in land use designation from Low Density to Professional Office is consistent with the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan by meeting many of the goals, objectives and policies of the Plan set forth in the General Development, Public Services, Land Use, Transportation, and Utilities Elements of the Comprehensive Plan. 2015 Yakima Planning Commission Comprehensive Plan Amendment Findings and Recommendations 4 Ir 1. This proposal will bring the zoning designation into conformance with the future uses envisioned by the applicant. 2. All required public utilities (sewer, water, irrigation, street lighting and fire hydrants) are presently available to the property. 3. The request is minor in nature, and does not appear to present any adverse consequences for adjacent jurisdictions or service providers. Because of the small land area involved, there are no regionally significant issues related to the request; consequently, this request will not significantly contribute to the cumulative impacts of other Comprehensive Plan amendments. 4. This proposal meets the County -wide Planning Policies and intent of the Growth Management Act because it will allow for better compatibility and consistency with adjacent properties, directs infill within the city limits, and it fulfills a public need for additional Professional Office space. After reviewing the revised proposal, receiving substantial written comments, and taking public testimony during their October 29, 2015 public hearing, the Yakima Planning Commission determined that the proposal does not meet the criteria of YMC 16.10.040 or YMC 15.23.030 required to support the alteration of the Future Land Use Map or zoning map of the City of Yakima for the following reasons: 1. A large amount of public testimony was received in opposition to the proposed requests indicating that the professional business zoning district was not in character with the surrounding R -1 zoning district; 2. It was found that redevelopment of the subject properties into an office complex would render the site out of character with the surrounding residential neighborhood; 3. The proposal does not meet Comprehensive Plan goals and policies 3.6.1, 3.6.3, 3.6.5, and 3.6.3; and 4. The proposed Comprehensive Plan and Rezone change of .42 acres of property does little to change the total amount of available Professional Office designation, and Professional Business zoning available for development within the City. YAKIMA PLANNING COMMISSION'S CONCLUSIONS 1. The Comprehensive Plan and Rezone applications are minor in nature. 2. Adverse impacts have been identified by these applications, and are included in the above Findings. 3. Substantial written comments or testimony was received in opposition to the applications. 4. The Professional Office Comprehensive Plan designation does not better implement the goals and policies of the Comprehensive given the neighborhoods residential nature. 2015 Yakima Planning Commission Comprehensive Plan Amendment " Findings and Recommendations Iri I DEX 5. The site is surrounded by Single - Family (R -1) and at the intersection of two local access streets which is inappropriate for professional office. 6. The public need for increased Professional Office land use designations, and Professional Business zoning, is outweighed by public testimony in opposition to these application. 7. Given the small size of the subject properties, the proposed Comprehensive Plan designation of Professional Office and Professional Business zoning district are not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, and allowed uses within the Professional Business zoning district. MOTION Based upon the analysis, findings and conclusions outlined above, on October 29, 2015, it was moved and seconded that the Yakima Planning Commission recommend DENIAL of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment request from Low Density Residential to Professional Office and DENIAL of the Rezone request from Single - Family (R -1) to Professional Business (B -1).

We are not opposed to changes in land use and we are not opposed any specific zoning category. We are concerned about this specific project for the following reasons. 1. The subject property is not well suited for all High - density Residential uses permitted. The highest and best use for R -3 property is multi - family housing. Transportation, schools, and propensity toward flooding are major concerns. 2. This request does not meet the intent of the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. The Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan 2025, 2012 Addendum and the West Valley Neighborhood Plan, 2012 Addendum both are in agreement that the area in question has a future land use designation of Low Density Residential (R -1), In the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan 2025, Chapter III future land use in Yakima is clearly addressed. Table III -11 describes the relationship between the Future Land Use Map and Zoning. The table shows that current R -1 designated property may be considered for rezoning to R -2, but not to R -3. In order to ask for R -3 zoning the Future Land Use Map must first be changed. Although the applicant has asked for a change to the Future Land Use Map, a need for that change has not been shown. 3. The public need for the proposed change has not been adequately addressed. Part IV A. of the Plan Narrative states that there is currently an overabundance of low- density residential (R -1) property in the area. The applicant cited the 2007 recession and subsequent housing foreclosures as evidence of the need for rental housing. In fact, the housing market has been in recovery since 2013 (Runstad Center for Real Estate Studies / University of Washington). Over the last year, four properties near my home have sold for cash with minimal times on the market. Typically short marketing times indicate a desire for properties consistent with the current ownership pattern, 3+ bedroom, single - family residences. According to the latest statistics posted by the city of Yakima our population has increased by 2.3% over the past five years. While significant, this is less than half of the 5% in the state of Washington as a whole. At the same time, over 30% of Yakima's housing units are in multi -unit structures. The state as a whole shows only 25 %. Is there truly a need in Yakima to increase multi -unit structures to a third of all housing units when the rest of the state designates only a quarter? The only evidence that has been presented is the statement by the developer that the recent construction of a new multi - family housing complex filled very quickly. What impact did that "quick filling" have on the existing rental units in Yakima: Wer,„ simply do not know. When asking for a change in zoning, data should be presented N to support the need for the change as well as the impact the change will have on rental properties in the city, including those r ental properties that exist y existing p p Y g y ^�� 1��,� �� within the Cottonwood Grove Neighborhood. There were many tern -lot line, single- 1 . 1, Submitted: INDEX 1 I I family homes built in our development. Most of these have both sides under common ownership and are rented, making them essentially duplex properties, without R -2 zoning. All of the development west of 89th is zoned R -2 occupied. We question the impact of a large, multi- family structure on the rental stability of these existing properties. 4. The adequacy of public facilities, specifically traffic capacity and schools, has not been adequately addressed. Transportation: One of the changes to the property, mentioned as substantial enough to warrant a change in zoning, was the improvement of Nob Hill Blvd. from south 48th Avenue to south 80th Avenue. This brought "a better transportation facility closer to the subject property." The nearest bus stop is currently located on Nob Hill Blvd. just east of 80th Ave. From the subject property to the bus stop one must walk about three quarters of a mile, a minimum of a 15- minute walk. This is a walk through industrial and warehouse areas on a narrow, traffic filled street. I would suggest that the Nob Hill improvements east of 80th have no impact and do not represent a change in transportation circumstances at the subject property. In the Findings of Fact presented on October 27th, 2015 the existing infrastructure is described as needing curb, gutter, and sidewalk along Wide Hollow Road to allow for students to walk safely to and from school. Simply adding curbs, gutters and sidewalks will not ensure the safety of students walking to school. Highland Fruit Growers has a large facility spanning both the north and south sides of Wide Hollow Road. Both semi and tandem trucks regularly pull in and out of this facility onto Wide Hollow Road. These trucks then turn onto 80th Ave. and proceed to Nob Hill Blvd. Neither of these two intersections appropriately accommodates these large trucks. Neither intersection is scheduled for improvement on the current 6 -year transportation improvement plan. The impact of these transportation issues on children's safety has not been addressed and must be addressed before consideration for R -3 zoning is approved. When and if Nob Hill Blvd is completed through to 91St, it is proposed to become a secondary truck route. This will effectively surround the subject property with additional safety concerns. As difficult as these transportation issues are on single - family residences, they will be greatly exacerbated if large multi - family housing units are allowed on this property. Local School District: The actual number of dwelling units that will be constructed on the site is unknown at this time We must assume highest and best use If approved, the rezoning from Y i° R1 to R3 could result in a large number of new residen under the age of 18 in an �� area where the school system is currently over crowded at all levels and the district tw struggles with passing bonds and levies. It is our moral imperative to ensure that al 1 of Pl children residing within our West Valley School system have the opportunity for a high quality education. This issue must be considered as part of the environmental . . INDEX # i.. review. What is the capacity of the local school district to absorb the sudden influx of a large number of students at one time? A response from the West Valley School District should be specifically sought, as it cannot be assumed that no response equates with approval. Based on comments made by staff at the last meeting it is unclear as to whether or not the correct school district was notified. It should be noted that brick and mortar capacity is not the only consideration. There are locally bargained class size limits and state student:teacher ratios that must be considered. A large influx of students into a district would necessitate the hiring of additional teachers. With teachers from "the baby boomer" generation reaching retirement age and a decline in the number of students enrolling in teacher preparation programs, there is currently a teacher shortage in our region. There were 4700 new teaching positions vacant last year in Washington State (Washington Professional Educators Standards Board). Do we know how these teacher shortages might affect the West Valley School District in the event a large number of new students enter the district? 5. Although the applicant was apparently not aware, there are Threatened or Endangered species known to be on or near the site. Peregrine falcons have regularly been seen on and around this site. Although they are no longer considered endangered, the peregrine falcon is still under monitoring status by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Ferruginous Hawk, a species of concern, is also common in the area. This should have been addressed in the environmental impact section. 6. The application states "the site is currently served by South 85th Ave., South 88th Ave on the north and Wide Hollow Road on the south." This is not correct. South 88th is on the west side of the property and is not completed through to Wide Hollow. 85th Ave. is not completed south of Garden and does not serve the property at this time. The only minor arterial that connects to the site at this time is Wide Hollow. Roads do not connect to other urban arterials. 7. Until it is officially changed, this area remains in a FEMA 100 year Flood Plain and the proposal would affect this environmentally sensitive area. On page 18 of the West Valley Neighborhood Plan, adopted February 2011, it states: Flood Prone areas should be considered for the lowest residential densities in order to minimize flood damage. For example, the density of seven units per net residential acre in flood plains will expose more properties to risk given the relatively unpredictable flow paths. The lots and their fences or fill have the ability to redirect flows as has been evidenced by recent development in the planning area. Although the city of Yakima is addressing the flood issue involving Wide Hollow ;°"( Creek, it should be noted that the 1985 FEMA flood maps did not consider this area to be flood prone even though the area had sever flooding in the 1960's and 70's. AM FEMA recently declared the subject parcel to be within a flood plain. The city is /0/,' up planning a revision of Shaw Creek to mitigate this flooding and is asking FEMA to ° 44' " C. INDEX remove the hundred -year flood plain designation. This has not yet been completed and therefore no building permits can be issued. Even if the area is removed from the FEMA flood Plain designation, this in no way assures that the area will not flood in the future. Considering current weather patterns it is likely that either Wide Hollow Creek, Shaw Creek, or both will continue to have flood issues even with the redirection of Shaw Creek. Having the additional black topping and other hardscape associated with high density housing will exacerbate even minor flooding that may occur and will increase the likelihood that existing homes in Cottonwood Grove may be subjected to flood damage. Natural Ground Instability is another concern. The tendency for movement of the ground can be caused by several natural geological hazards. I, and other residents of Cottonwood Grove, have recently been made aware of the history of flooding in the area of Cottonwood Grove and the proposed rezone site. Apparently this has been taking place since at least the 1960's and the area has commonly flooded once every decade. Although steps are now being taken by the city of Yakima to mitigate future flooding, the ground may be unstable due to the years of past flooding. Evidence of this ground instability can be seen in the existing Cottonwood Grove development. Sidewalks and driveways along Westbrook and Grove Avenue began deteriorating within only a few years. There are areas where large cracks in the sidewalk reveal deep voids underneath. One of the homes on my street found one of these large voids under their entryway sidewalk and spent considerable investment in time and resources to correct the problem by digging an access and adding fill to the area in order to protect the investment he had just made in his home. I have noticed a community mailbox leaning. This may also be a sign of ground instability. We love our neighborhood; mainly because of the sense of community the neighbors themselves have built. However; If we had known before we purchased our homes about the history of flooding and possible ground instability, many of us may have chosen a different neighborhood. It seems as though building multi - family units rather than single - family units would increase the load on this potentially unstable ground creating future problems for the owners and residents. Before changing the designation from R -1 to R -3 engineers should assess the ground in the area for the possibility of significant settlement during construction and possible collapsible areas. This cannot be done until after the Shaw Creek project has been completed and the ground has had a chance to dry. We respectfully request that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council deny the application for rezoning and change in the Future Land Use Map requested by What the Hay, LLC based on the Yakima Urban Development Plan Section 3, 6, and 10. iztp Goal 3.1- No measurable criteria has been presented to evaluate the affordability it and neighborhood designs of the public Policy 3.1.1.3- The proposed site is not located between commercial and medium density zoning. Policy 3.1.1.4 - The proposed site does not have good access to public transit. Policy 3.1.1.7 - Allowing high - density construction will not minimize the impact on surface water. Goal 3.3 - Consideration was not given to preserving the existing neighborhoods. Policy 3.2.2 - Multi family units are not compatible in scale, style, and density with the existing neighborhoods. Goal 6.1- The new streets proposed do not encourage neighborhood safety, for example truck routes and unimproved intersections nearby. Policy 6.3.6 - There are no "safe walk to school routes" that can be created near the subject property. Policy 10.9.2 - The applicant cannot ensure an R -3 development will not affect the flooding elevations in surrounding areas until the completion and evaluation of the Shaw Creek Project. Policy 10.9.9 - R -3 Zoning does not minimize parking lots and impervious surfaces. Thank you for your consideration. Terrie Geaudreau 8602 Grove Ave. VW e p at y o 11 A tYV i ii November 16, 2015 Yakima Planning Commission 129 N. Second Street Yakima, WA 98901 RE: What the Hay Development, CPA #004 -15 I am writing to oppose the rezoning request for the What the Hay Development, CPA #004 -15. I have lived in Cottonwood Grove for eight years. My objections are based on the following points: • The roadway infrastructure surrounding this location cannot sustain this influx of housing and the inevitable increase in traffic. Two of the three supporting roadways are two -lane arterial routes, with no curb, gutter, or sidewalks. High traffic volumes are already causing concerns during peak traffic times, as these are primary routes to the middle school, junior high, and high school. • Although Wide Hollow and 80th are primary routes connecting the western neighborhoods to West Valley Park, West Valley Middle School, West Valley Junior High, and West High School, parents can't let their children ride bikes or walk along these routes to school for fear of safety from traveling motorists. When they do walk, it's in the irrigation ditch with broken bottles, garbage and other items. The inability of children to walk or ride their bikes to school increases traffic, since people have to drive their kids to school with no safe pedestrian travel routes. • We request a traffic study on Wide Hollow and 80th — whether by the City or the County— because current traffic volume is extremely high, and with vehicles traveling at high speeds, people struggle to turn into and out of neighborhoods and homes — especially without turn lanes or even shoulders. • Mr. Carmody indicated that there was no project being proposed at this time. However in his previous presentation, he noted that the zoning change was needed because there was a substantial need for this type of housing NOW. So though there is currently no project, it appears as though the developer is looking at the current housing needs without considering the current infrastructure limitations. • Mr. Carmody indicated that the developer was willing to make improvements including five feet of curb, gutter, and sidewalks on the side of the roadway near the property if a project were to be considered. However, this would not address the fact that the roadway is already at high capacity, and does not have a center turn lane or shoulders. In some areas the lane striping is actually crumbling off the roadway. E "; EWE OC. r k - X NOV 5 2015 # / / CITY OF t"A iiat stubr Fitt While the long range plan does show that at some point, the roads in this area will be improved to meet future demand, approving the rezoning of this parcel before the infrastructure is in place to accommodate the growth will put the City in the place of making band -aid repairs to the supporting roadways instead of making thoughtful improvement for sustainable growth. While I understand the Developer is not proposing a project and that the commission may feel the specific details regarding traffic and other issues would be addressed at the project level, I do think that approving zoning changes before the infrastructure can meet the demand will lead to significant problems. The developer has noted the immediate need for this type of housing and his proposed mitigation does not address the potential impacts of this development. We have faith in your abilities to interpret the rules —not just take them at face value —to make a logical and sustainable decision towards the future growth of our community, Thank you for your consideration. Nicole Donegan 8705 W Arlington Ave Irm O tea, " Of Maio, za ,. Thank you for this opportunity to express to you my objections to the R -3 rezoning of the property south of our Cottonwood Grove community. I am not in opposition to growth, however it needs to be well planned, well laid out and well managed. I ask that you listen with an open mind and a focus on developing Yakima into a city that has done everything it can to build and encourage the growth of this community with properly prepared plans to preserve the local environment and the quality of the existing neighborhoods. It is my opinion that there are several critical areas of concern. The current West Valley Neighborhood Plan, adopted Feb. 2011, addresses flooding in the area of the proposed project. I am referring to LAND USE AND HOUSING: also Flooding (Map 4). The area has portions that are significantly prone to flooding due to its unique topography. Ahtanum and Wide Hollow basins have been designated as flood prone by the county engineer. Floods in the late 1990's showed that the National Flood Insurance Maps (FEMA) current at the time, did not represent the full extent of flooding in West Valley. Restudies by FEMA indicated much broader areas of flooding. By the end of 2009 new flood maps were made available. I moved to Cottonwood Grove March of 2007. We did not receive any flooding information. As a result of the 1990's floods and citizen concerns, the Yakima Countywide Flood Control Zone District developed a comprehensive flood hazard management plan for Ahtanum and Wide Hollow basins. The application states that "if successful, the relocation of Shaw Creek" remove these �z C 1 111111 111 HI Ex , NOV ?019 •�� # CITY , . Submitted: YY"''' 11 /110/0 flooding concerns. Should we not wait to see if the Shaw Creek plan proves successful? They identified several types of soils located in association with floodplains that have severe limitations for development. Are there any soil test results from the project site to show that the construction of multi -unit residences will be successful? Map 4 of the West Valley Plan shows the 2010 flood plain. Much of our Cottonwood Grove neighborhood and most of the project property are in the current flood plain. FUTURE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT: The state of Washington is using Transfer of Development Right (TDR) programs to simultaneously maintain rural, agricultural or environmentally sensitive areas while increasing urban development in urbanizing areas, especially when coupled with density incentives in the urbanizing areas. These programs work by establishing "sending areas ", where low densities are to be preserved, and "receiving areas," where development is to be encouraged. This is used to protect critical areas. The TDR also states that flood prone areas should be considered for the lowest residential densities in order to minimize flood damage. For example, the density of seven units per net residential acre in floodplains will expose more properties to risk given the relatively unpredictable flow paths. Once again, I am not opposed to continued development of the area under its current R -1 zoning. This already allows for the 84 zero lot line homes proposed by the developer on Nov. 29, 2015. RECEWED iNii EX Nnv (5 2015 mm OF YAMMA In the YAKIMA COUNTY SHAW CREEK FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT: FEMA indentified three key issues associated with this project. They are... 1. There is a high potential for residential flooding to a minimum of 48 residences and potentially 300 houses in the Cottonwood Grove Subdivision as a result of flood waters from Shaw Creek. 2. Several residences in the Cottonwood Grove Subdivision below the present location of Shaw Creek have recently been incurring flooding in the crawlspaces and damage to the houses below grade. The source of the flooding appears to be a high water table and wetlands that are located on Shaw Creek above the recent residential development. 3. Shaw Creek at its present location is an artificial stream. Relocation of Shaw Creek to its historic location will provide positive benefits to water quality and fish habitat for Wide Hollow Creek. However, until this project has been completed and the area has gone through at least one period of spring run off, we will not know how the measures will affect the water table and flooding in the area. In the LAND USE AND HOUSING GOALS & POLICIES: Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan 2025 Goal 2.1 Provide a wide variety of housing types that offer choices to the entire community. Although the current development calls properties "zero lot line" single family homes, most of them have both sides under the same RECEIVED ROC. NOV II4m EX # 11E. YADViA APT" PIN ownership and are being rented, essentially making them duplex rental properties. Argument: Single - family homes and duplexes are the variety of housing that the developer originally wanted. What has changed? Policies: 2.1.4 Plan to accommodate the area's expected population growth in a sustainable manner that maintains or improves the community's character, environmental quality, and quality of life. Argument: How will high density housing, such as multi -unit apartments, maintain and improve our community's character? How will adding high - density housing maintain and improve the environmental quality by building in a flood plain that will not be changed for at least two or more years? How will high density housing maintain and improve our quality of life? 2.1.8 Ensure that infill development or subdivisions are compatible with existing neighborhoods. Lots proposed for new residential subdivisions and adjacent to existing urban neighborhoods should be compatible with existing residential lots. (pursuant to YUACP 2025, Coal 3.3 and its Policies). Comprehensive Growth Plan Argument: Jumping from an R -1 zoning to R -3 zoning will not be compatible nor will it maintain or improve our community's character. INDEX ?‘Iv # P� GOAL 2.2 Provide a variety of housing, retail, and commercial centered on key intersections, in a pattern that encourages walking and bicycling. Policies: 2.2.5 Encourage medium or high- density residential areas adjacent to and between commercial or retail zoned property along major arterials and collectors. Argument: Neither the current nor the proposed Functional Road classification maps show Wide Hallow as a major arterial or collector. Argument: The section on Future Land Use (Map 4) Shows preferred land uses. One of the underlying concepts is to provide commercial and higher density residential uses at key intersections. It's intended to allow more options for non- traditional housing types. The intersections of Wide Hallow, 80th, 85th, and 88th are not key intersections. GOAL 2.4 Provide Protection for Developments in Flood prone areas. General Policies: 2.4.4 Encourage the use of low- impact development such as permeable materials for parking and pedestrian surfaces. Argument: It is my understanding that permeable materials allow rainwater and floodwater to permeate through that material thus help to avoid or reduce flooding. That I believe was not done in Cottonwood Grove. We witnessed that FIECEIVEn NO 11 p .,, P I / :9 spring when our street, which is in the flood plain, had standing water. Since, we have learned that the undeveloped land south of us is in a larger flood plain, will the parking and pedestrian surfaces be made permeable? If not how will the developer avoid flow redirection onto the neighbors? FUTURE LAND USE: The conceptual considerations for Medium Density Residential in the Planning Area are: • Located in the center of the Planning Area where it can promote more walking to schools and reduce the cost of school busing; • Intended to provide an incentive for non - traditional housing types to create affordable housing for "empty - nesters," young singles, seniors, and other small household sizes. • Located on large undeveloped parcels to enable quality layout /housing designs • Along Zier Road between 80th and 96th Avenues, parcels have been designated as MDR. They have been selected because they are all located: o On one or more arterial streets (96th, 80th and Zier Road), where access does not need to pass through low density developments o Within close proximity to the West Valley High School, West Valley Middle School, and Cottonwood Elementary School, where it would reduce the cost of busing children to the nearby schools. ARGUMENT: DOC. " ��r��, INDEX 01 V" OF y vow The current R -2 zoning west of 88th Avenue has not cut down on the school districts' cost of busing children to school. They have to be picked up and dropped off on Tieton and 87th, also on Rose Lane and Wide Hollow. It is logical to assume that this has cost the district more. The applicant is asking for a jump directly from R -1 to R- 3, High Density Affordable Housing. This means that the 28 acre parcel could be a minimum of 12 dwellings per acre. If he is free to build apartments, there could be more than 300 apartments. The only possibility that I see here is that it will increase West Valley School District's costs. Where will these funds come from? The applicant has proposed buffering the area west of where 88th Ave. is planned, partially along the east and south of the Four Square Church's empty property and east of the purposed 85th Ave. He stated these buffers could be "duplexes" and or "condos ". These do not require R -3 zoning. Where then are the multi - family dwellings, requiring R -3 zoning, located? In the comprehensive plan narrative submitted by What The Hay, LLC, Part B asks... Does your proposal better implement applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map or text? If so, how? The applicant stated that their purposal better implements the plan policies because it meets these goals and policies. Goal 3.1 Provide for a broad distribution of housing in Yakima that meets the affordability and neighborhood design needs of the public. RECEIVED Policies: 3.1.1.1 Development shall be at an overall density of 12 dwelling units per acre or more. Recommended zones for this density includes Multi- family residential (R -3) Proponent Statement: Due to the size of this property, it can be developed at a density of 12 or more dwelling units if zoned Multi- family Residential. 3.1.1.4 Development shall be located along arterials or collector streets and should have good access to public transit. Proponent Statement: This property has direct access to Wide Hollow Road and South 88th Ave., which are arterial and collector streets. The property also has indirect access to Westbrook Ave., which provides access to S. 80th, a collector. Access to public transit can be gained through these routes. Wide Hollow and South 88th are considered minor arterials and not collector streets at this time. At the time of this statement, Westbrook Avenue's only access, until less than a week ago, was walking through a field and around a fire access gate. There is no public transit scheduled on these routes. 3.1.1.7 Development shall be encouraged to minimize impacts on surface water. Low impact practices are encouraged. Proponent Statement: Upon completion of the Shaw Creek overflow channel, the property will generally be free of all impacts to surface water. Nov c # r C11 vr YAKhViA How does the applicant know this? Is generally be free good enough for quality building and housing in Yakima? Conclusion: There are needs for major changes and improvements in the area including completion of the FEMA flood plans, better access to public transit, and establishment of major key intersections. The existing design of our minor arterial, Wide Hollow Rd. cannot accommodate significant foot traffic at this time. Maintaining and improving the already established neighborhood's environment and quality of life is also an important concern. The site proposed for rezoning by What the Hay, LLC is clearly not the correct location for an R -3 development.

Dear Council Members, I am strongly objecting to the re- zoning of the property that is adjoining the Cottonwood Grove residential community. This property was planned and designed to be a premier community and property values have been established to maintain this standard. We as residents have paid a premium value for our homes to live in this community. It was planned and sold from the beginning to as a community with a quality of life and we have paid for that with our property values. Allowing this re- zoning jeopardizes our home values. In addition to our home values, there are a significant number of other issues to be addressed. Increased traffic, more students in our public schools that are already overcrowded. There is the issue of increased chance of crimes being committed with addition of multi - family dwellings, not to mention parking issues. How will the roads be improved to handle the increase in traffic? What The Hay has suggested that affordable housing is good for the community, well I do not agree. This is simply the fact that they want to force their will on our community for profit only, This is the same person who started the community as sold and developed as a premier area, and now wants to say that affordable housing is good? I believe this is some real good double talk from a man who only wants profit in his pocket. He is not doing what is good for the w community he originally started and sold as a higher standard place to live. ^ „, NO t ?

We are aware that there are no studies completed that would justify granting this application /proposal and that being the case, should be ample reason for denying the application at this time. While we would enjoy the land to remain as open space, we realize that it will be developed at some point. We strongly encourage that this property and all other property adjacent to the Cottonwood Grove subdivision remain R -1 zoning and that future development be consistent with current types of homes within the Cottonwood Grove Subdivision, e.g. single family in comparison to common wall /duplex structures. We are opposed to this application /project as we feel it would lower the value of our property, increase crime in our neighborhood, and increase traffic through our neighborhood. We feel strongly that Wide Hollow is also not adequate to support the increased traffic that this project would bring. As statistics for high density housing reveal, residents from this project would travel by foot and bicycle. Wide Hollow does not have sidewalks and it would be a major project to adequately widen Wide Hollow and add sidewalks. In addition, the increased population would put a demand West Valley School District. All elementary schools surrounding this project are at overflow levels. The middle school and junior high are full. The voters of West Valley School District have rejected bonds to build new schools. We would recommend tc the City a method we witnessed in HaVwaii — have the developers responsible to building additional schools when their projects create the demand. The city has already approved two other new housing additions that will directly impact the West Valley Schools. This was done without consultation with the West Valley School District. (I know this because I talked directly to administrators from the West Valley School District.) To approve those projects and to even consider this project is irresponsible behavior from the Planning Committee and the City Council. We request to be notified in writing, in a timely manner, of any decision regarding this „ application by the Planning Committee or Planning Commission. Respectfully, Robert L.

I ,• h„ lI ; I ' ], I'n)ul` ii Research Notes: Apartments Versus Schools Redux (March 2014) Apartments Versus Schools Redux In this era of tight budgets, local governments have to be mindful of potential additional costs to public services. Many local governments' finances suffered significant deterioration as a result of the recent economic downturn. Income and sales tax revenue fell as jobs and spending declined, while the bursting of the house price bubble took a toll on property tax collections. However, often these budgetary concerns are unjustly leveraged to slow new development, including apartments. One of the enduring obstacles thrown at apartment developers in many local jurisdictions is this assumption: A new apartment property will bring in too many children and overburden the local school district. But the facts are otherwise. An earlier Research Notes ( ) illustrated this, but more recent and more detailed data allow us to update this earlier analysis. The overall conclusion is the same: The average number of children in apartments is less than the average for single - family dwellings (both owned and rented). The difference is even greater for recently built homes. What's more, apartments are taxed at a higher rate than single - family U " homes, thereby contributing more to local government coffers. Given this itirmx information, this overburdening argument appears to have much more to /7' do with biases against both renting versus owning and compact development, community misperception about the economic and social value of apartments, density fears and not- in -my- back -yard (NIMBY) RECEIVED movements than with effective local fiscal planning. NOV 1 s 2015 Apartment developers often face obstacles beyond just development °�Y �'�� A P p Y 1 PLANN:n DIV. and construction costs or financing. In many parts of the country, there are both formal and, more commonly, informal barriers to the construction of new multifamily residences. (Multifamily for -sale Submitted: it /l(o /lam https : / /www.nmhc.org /Content.aspx ?id =8490 11/16/2015 Research Notes: Apartments Versus Schools Redux (March 2014) I nmhc.org Page 2 of 5 developers often face similar barriers as well, though typically to a lesser extent.) These barriers take many forms, including municipal bans on new multifamily development, lack of permit approval without explanation, height restrictions that make multifamily projects unfeasible and vocal neighborhood opposition. Often this opposition is based on claims that apartments will bring in many schoolchildren and that the local government cannot afford to educate these incoming children. Demographic trends, however, suggest something quite different. Declining birth rates and increased longevity have reduced the share of children (defined here as those under 18 years of age) in the population; from a high of more than 40 percent in 1900, the percentage of children in the population has slipped to a low of 23 percent. Similarly, the number of households with children has also undergone a long- running decline from a baby boom - driven postwar high of 49 percent in 1957 to under 29 percent today. Together, these facts show that there are more people than ever to share the costs of primary and secondary education for the nation's children who, at the same time, have a shrinking share in the nation's demographic makeup. H u °a?hcId with C''I'd�r; r The number of children under 18 years of age is almost 74 million, higher than at any time before 2006 (and only marginally lower than the 2009 high). They are not spread proportionately among different kinds of housing units, however. For example, single - family rentals house the households with the most children while condo owners are the least likely to have children.

At the other end of the spectrum, only 12 000, percent of multifamily owners (in buildings with at least five units) have INDEX children. For apartments, the corresponding figure is 24 percent—well https : / /www.nmhc.org /Content.aspx ?id =8490 11/16/2015 Research Notes: Apartments Versus Schools Redux (March 2014)1 nmhc.org Page 3 of 5 below the overall average and that of single - family owners and single - family renters. On average, there are 60 children for every 100 households in the nation. The figure is about the same for single - family owner households (59), but much higher for single - family renters (96). In contrast, for every 100 apartment households, there are 41 children; for condos the figure is 17. These data show that, on average, there are significantly fewer children in apartments than in single - family homes, whether renter- or owner - occupied. The difference is even greater among recently built homes. 5ingie ren T t Tot& enter u !,T 131114 before 1990 0 .• 4'� 50 42 t)• • (rullt 1%90-2004 IDS 74 :u [ ut.lt 2005.21012 FAG 1 20 9t 3H • SOURCE; NP.11.9C TABULATIONS OF CENSUS .AMERICAN c;i,M1IP.9LIVI TY ;;!;F�Vs "Y' 20 ;:arrphu 51fe too small `o r:roc1' re rill i.lr It i tc :t ^rrultrfani ly ry.vrrer hc:rr es bi,1't ,attar 1989 Note %lttl`1f;xrmly refers to b.i rbii ; s ,•,1 °h1 live or tno-e un1CS isr. y.ix, :1), total' 1r7cI,I:`e1;:1 two. to `n. un:1 m0110.11111 y r•u:r. es sshich .1re not sn0:';n separzge,yr For every 100 households living in all homes built since 2005, there are 80 children. Among single - family renters in newly built houses, the figure is 120, while among single - family owners it is 91. By contrast, there are only 38 children per 100 apartment households living in newly built properties. If we narrow the focus to just school -age children — traditionally defined as those between 6 and 17 years of age— apartments contribute even less to demand for schooling than the analysis above might suggest. Overall, 25 percent of all households have at least one school -age child. The figure is about the same for single - family owners (26 percent). Among single - family renters, 37 percent of households have school -age children. But only 16 percent of apartment households (and 7 percent of condo households) have school -age children. The difference is greater still in newly constructed homes (completed since 2004): Fully 35 percent of single - family owners (and 42 percent of single - family renters) have school -age children. The corresponding figure for apartments is only 13 percent, meaning that 87 percent of newly constructed apartment homes have no school -age children.

In addition, apartments are taxed at higher rates than single - family houses. The average property tax rate for the median -value house in urban areas across the country is 1.41 percent; for apartments, the rate is 1.83 percent. As such, apartments contribute more to the local government revenue base than single - family houses. There is a broader point to be made as well. The number of children (and school -age children) in the nation isn't determined by the number or type of housing units available. Given the choice families make about whether to have children (and, if so, how many and when), the real question is where, and how, these children are to be housed and educated. While one local jurisdiction can try to push this misconstrued burden onto another through regulation and political pressure, these types of activities don't help solve the problem. What's more, any apparent benefit may be short - lived; communities with a variety of different types of housing and real estate — mixed -use, mixed - income, single - family and multifamily— appear to be in greater demand than ever before.One of the common arguments neighbors make against proposed new apartment properties is that they will increase traffic congestion and parking problems. But do they? Residents opposing apartments because of traffic and congestion concerns typically make a faulty comparison; they assume that the choice is between a new apartment property in their neighborhood and no new development at all. But "no development" really isn't an option given our population growth projections. In the next 20 years, the U.S. population is expected to grow by 68 million people — the equivalent of adding two more Californias. The real question is: where and how will we house these additional people? The C. answer to that question will go a long way toward determining the future INDEX course of our traffic congestion and parking problems. There is growing # _ 1 712 research that our worsening traffic problems are exacerbated by our https : / /www.mnhc.org /Content.aspx ?id =8490 11/16/2015 Research Notes: Apartments Versus Schools Redux (March 2014) 1 nmhc.org Page 5 of 5 sprawling development patterns and are exacting a growing financial cost from many of America's working families.

Cottonwood Grove is almost entirely single family upscale middle income homes and residents. The term "affordable " housing is an ambiguous term suggesting low income housing. The amenities noted in Mr. Hochreins narrative accompanying his requested changes are virtually nonexistent. South 88th Ave is not designed for any additional traffic. Nob Hill Blvd has no easement from 80th Ave. west. Wide Hollow Rd is already overused, no shoulders, runs thru a fruit packing operation, and is subject to flooding. I think Mr..

FEMA has a time line for relocating Shaw Creek which includes new bridges for Wide hollow Creek at about 92nd Ave. They estimate completion of all necessary changes no sooner than 2018. Obtaining easements for all the suggested changes have been totally unsuccessful to date. Therefore, Mr. Hochreins requests should be denied and at such time as the flooding problem has been resolved he can attempt a rezone to R -2, but preferably it all remain as now exists.

We moved to Yakima in 2010 after buying a house in the Cottonwood Grove Division. Before purchasing this house we checked to make sure that it was not in a 100 year flood plane, as we would never buy a house in 100 year plane (bad karma- I'm a retired fish biologist). Our search came back negative so we purchased the house. Imagine our surprise when FEMA informed us a couple of years later that our house was indeed in a 100 year floodplain and we were required to purchase expensive flood insurance. Imagine our shock when we found out the City knew the proposed Cottonwood Grove development was in an area prone to sheet flooding, but allowed the project to proceed anyway with future flood damage /costs to be born by unknowing future buyers and taxpayers. While we are happy that FEMA and Yakima County are working on the Shaw and Wide Hollow Creeks Flood Control Project which should remove us from the flood plane. We're not happy that taxpayer money is being used to remove the Cottonwood Grove community from the 100 year floodplain. We feel this cost should have been borne by the developer. This problem was knowingly created by the City Planning Commission when the Cottonwood Grove development was approved. We believe the Planning Commission should have required the developer solve the flooding issue as a requirement prior to developing the Cottonwood Grove parcel. To our knowledge the flood control EA has not been signed, so no decision has been made and no money has been specifically allocated for this project. If everything goes smoothly, the flood control project will not be completed for several years. We believe the Planning Commission should not consider increasing housing density in the flood plain until the flood control project is completed. Some West Valley schools are overcrowded and need more and upgraded classrooms. In the past year the local school district floated a bond measure for money to get our schools up to standard. The measure failed. We believe it shortsighted to increase the housing density in this area until we have our schools up to par. Please don't make this problem worse. In our view, both Wide Hollow Road and 5 80th Ave are presently inadequate for the number of vehicles and any pedestrians that utilize them. We believe both roads should be upgraded with wider running surfaces, sidewalks and signs before the Planning Commission consider increasing the housing density in our area. Please don't make this problem worse. D OC . • ENII We are concerned that if the Planning Commission approves increased housing density in our neighborhood we will face increased costs (taxes & homeowner's insurance)- such as we faced with the flood plane ordeal (which is not over yet), more congested and unsafe local roads, deteriorating school quality, and potentially lower property values. These are difficult changes for anyone to adjust to, more so for retirees such as my wife and I. Furthermore, we are concerned that the increased housing units will be built before the City upgrades the infrastructure. We are not anti - growth folks. We understand that communities need to change and grow to remain healthy. However that growth needs to be properly managed to maintain healthy stable communities. For my wife and I that means building and maintaining the infrastructure prior to increasing the loads on that infrastructure. Our experiences with governments- local, state and Federal, have shown them all too willing to build new stuff, not so willing to maintain old stuff until the problem becomes severe (Shaw and Wide Hollow Creeks Flood Control Project is just one example). Therefore we ask the Planning Commission to not approve CPA #004 -15.

We feel strongly that Wide Hollow is also not adequate to support the increased traffic that this project would bring. As statistics for high density housing reveal, residents from this project would travel in higher numbers by foot and bicycle. Wide Hollow Road does not have sidewalks and it would be a major project to adequately widen Wide Hollow and add sidewalks. In addition, the increased population would put a demand West Valley School District. All elementary schools surrounding this project are at overflow levels. The middle school and junior high are full. The voters of West Valley School District have rejected bonds to build new schools. We would recommend to the City a method we witnessed in Hawaii — have the developers responsible to building additional schools when their projects create the demand. The city has already approved two other new housing additions that will directly impact the West Valley Schools. This was done without consultation with the West Valley School District. (I know this because I talked directly to administrators from the West Valley School District.) To approve those projects and even consider this project without the courtesy of consulting the West Valley School District is irresponsible of the Planning Committee and the City Council.

Here is how things went bad with your initial proposal: - - The proposal requested that the entire property be zoned R -3. - - Your proposal used the words "high density," "affordable housing," "multi- family." Unfortunately, those terms don't go away with a tricky amendment (called "information needed for the hearing ") to include a new R -2 buffer.

The site plan set forth the future street alignment, perimeter development areas and area for Multi - Family (R -3) development. We had discussed the inclusion of a development plan reflecting the development limitations on the perimeter portions of the property. Upon further thought, we believe that a preferred course would be to simply establish a buffer zone on the perimeter areas of the property. The buffer areas would be zoned Two Family (R -2) with those areas depicted on the attached conceptual map. The development within the buffer areas would be consistent with existing development densities on bordering properties within the Plat of Cottonwood Phase 4. While those adjacent areas were zoned Single Family (R -1), the actual development was with common wall or zero lot line residences. This density of development is consistent with R -2 zoning. The proposal would also leave the Foursquare Church property as Single Family (R- 1) zoning. The only area that would be rezoned to Multi - Family (R -3) would be the area in darker orange on the attached map. This proposal is consistent with historic practice within the community and utilizes a transitional zoning from R -1 to R -3. We believe that this approach is consistent with the comprehensive plan and rezone standards and more accurately reflects reasonable future development options for the property.

COTTONWOOD GROVE R -3 REZONE 11/8/15 What The Ha "s rezonin s, proposal is inappropriate or premature and should be denied for a variety of reasons: Inadequate Road Network -- The city's Future Land Use Maps (FLUM) and Development Plans do not provide for any improvements to standard arterial criteria on any roads west of 80th Ave. along either Nob Hill Blvd. or Wide Hollow Road. - - The FLUM provides a plan for improvement of 80th Ave., from Tieton Drive to Zier Road, with three lanes along with curbs and sidewalks. However, it is clear that 80th Ave. currently does not meet standard arterial criteria. - - The FLUM planned for the 80th Ave. project to begin in 2011. It is obvious that there is no money in the cities budget for plans for any of the above road projects. - - What The Hay can be expected to provide standard road networking on the streets along it's own property. But it is not anticipated that the roads beyond their property will be developed to meet standards. - - It is obvious that 80th Ave. and Wide Hollow Road are very dangerous for pedestrian traffic. It can be anticipated that children will attempt to walk beyond a new development along Wide Hollow Road to West Valley Park, as well as to the middle school and the junior high. Fruit trucks also frequently cross the street between their various packing plant facilities. -- What The Hay brokered the pass- through of the Westbrook Ave. portion of Cottonwood Grove to the hammerhead Westbrook Ave. portion of the miner development to the east, providing access to 80th Ave. near Nob Hill Blvd. This change converts Westbrook Ave. from a local access street to a connecting street. Obviously, this change will provide an attractive new thorough fare to Tieton Drive and Nob Hill Blvd. for existing residence and the new church's congregation. However, if the development is doubled in size, Westbrook Ave. will become a de facto arterial. Westbrook Ave. is 32 feet wide; 88th Ave. is 37 feet and considered the arterial for the neighborhood even though the 15 mph curve at the north end hardly makes it a standard or safe arterial. Many residents will likely prefer the Westbrook Ave. exit to the 80th Ave. exit. Doubling the size of the traffic in this neighborhood is inappropriate. Inadequate school servICES -- What The Hay reported that the West Valley school District had no objections to their proposal because they did not respond. Dr. Michael Brothy, WVSD superintended, as reported the school district did not receive notice of public planning hearings. Is it possible that the notices were sent to the Yakima school district by mistake? -- Dr. Brothy has asserted that the district "cannot handle the potential growth that would come with this proposed project. We ran an unsuccessful bond issue last April and will run one again sometime, but even if one did pass, it would take three years to build the schools." -- Until I told him, Dr. Brothy was also unaware of the R -3 rezones already approved at 64th and Occidental, as well as the multiple rezones at Westwood West. Approving a What The Hay rezones would have even more seriously adverse effects upon the school district. Inappropriate location for R -3 housing 1 r) -- Given of R -3 proposals recen approved, it is premature to add another R -3 pa. _al at this time, particularly due to its poor location. - - Even though currently used for agriculture by the Congdon family, considerable acres of R -3 property is already identified on the city's FLUM. -- It has an inadequate road network and a lack of sufficient school space, as indicated above. - - Access to social services and public transportation are too far away or minimal, significantly inferior to other R -3 proposals recently approved. Inadequate public notice -- There have been apparent errors in providing public notice to the West Valley School District. - - Mistakes in providing the correct dates for a public hearings has been previously documented. (Westwood West proposal) -- The hearing commission has extended meeting dates regarding What The Hay on two occasions in response to concerns about "unusual" situations. - - One November 4th, a Special Meeting was held by the Planning Commission that allowing What The Hay to request an amendment of their R -3 request. The amendment would change approximately 25% of the R -3 property to R -2, with 42 zero -line lots (84 residence) and 2 triplex lot. Even though this change was discussed at the previous public meeting on October 28, were the rules of previous public notice followed? Can a developer significantly amend a property rezoned proposal on short notice without going through all of the usual steps that ordinarily take nine months? -- Changing a small portion of the R -3 property to R -2 an insufficient mitigation to remedy the concerns outlined above. The zoning of the property should remain at R -1. Respectfully, Bradley & Cynthia Arnesen 8509 Westbrook Ave. pie E 2 ) ?)

We live at 8603 Westbrook Ave. in Cottonwood Grove. We moved here 5 years ago from Tancara neighborhood. We lived on Arlington St. there. When we moved there Condgon Orchards was across the street from us & it was zoned R1. It was a nice quiet street when we moved there, but that changed when they opened up 53rd Ave. from Nob Hill to Tieton Dr. Our street then became a very busy street as it was used as a short cut to 56th Ave. Not long after that Congdon Orchards wanted to rezone all the orchard area surrounding us from R1 to R3 & commercial. Tancara residents were not informed of the proposed rezone & by the time we found out about it, it had already been approved by the city council! Tancara residents went to the city council meeting to voice our disapproval of it & were told that we were too late as the rezone had already been approved by the Planning Commission & the City Council! Our neighbors Mike & Cindy Nobel, had been to a meeting in the early stages of that rezone proposal & were told it was too early & they didn't need to worry about it, as it wouldn't affect us! We had a long battle over that rezone & Jamie Carmody represented us at that time. Again we were not informed of this proposed rezone on Wide Hollow Rd. & knew nothing about this rezone proposal until Oct., long after the July 10, 2015 closing date for any appeals! We are asking you to please say "No" to this rezone before it is again too late for us! We fear this rezone would adversely affect our area with increased traffic & property crime. Wide Hollow Rd. is a two - lane road & could not handle the increased traffic the rezone would bring. Allowing R3 housing to go in there would put our area at a higher risk for flooding due to changes in the flood plain from more hard surfaces! West Valley schools are already over crowded & this would only add to that. We feel the time to stop this rezone is now with you before it goes to the City Council!

I have no faith in what they say. When I moved into Cottonwood Grove I was given a verbal understanding, Cottonwood Grove homes would extend to Wide Hollow Road with a road connecting Nob Hill and to the west next to the grade school. There were no homes south or west of me at that time. Try getting onto Wide Hollow when the fog is thick or when the high school students who are driving home create more traffic on Wide Hollow, 80 and 96 Avenues. Cottonwood Grove parents park cars south, off Tieton to pick up children from the school bus, not allowed to walk down 88th. Children also come in off Wide Hollow. That is a reason to prefer family homes and consider the impact on this area. On Halloween it is common to have 100 or more children in my immediate area. The traffic is dense. In the winter side streets are not always cleared of snow causing cars to slide toward intersections or property. Children ride the buses in winter, also. We do not need more traffic on 88 Avenue.

My wife and I are against a rezone to R3 because we moved to the cottonwood community to escape a similar situation in the town we lived in for 30 years. The community opened their doors to R3 type zoning with high density low cost housing. The pro discussions were all about the need for low cost housing which in this day and age are very valid. However, within a year after the housing was constructed there were several families living in each apartment or duplex, the property values started to go down, the crime increased, drugs, gangs and property destruction of surrounding homes prevailed. We had our house vandalized, vehicles broken into on at least four occasions, a car stolen out of the driveway and our windows shot out in the house. For the people living in the Cottonwood Complex this action would be the beginning of a disaster for them. I have heard the statement that no project plan is on the board, but if not then why change the zone? The increase to traffic on 88th street would ruin the quiet and peaceful ability of seniors and children to walk and ride their bikes as they do now. The addition to the upgrade of 88th will negate the buffer zone that has been discussed. It will be an easy route to Tieton and if 300 apartments are built as has been suggested, that could mean up to 600 more vehicles in this area. If the property owners of "What the Hey, LLC" want to have homes built on their land then they should keep the zoning as it is and build places that will compliment the Cotton wood Grove area, not detract from it. The homeowners of the Cottonwood Grove area have a tremendous investment in their places and this zone change is the wrong thing to do. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. James A.

Respectfully, Robert Fawcett and Christina Fawcett Ex 2 October 23, 2015 City of Yakima Planning Division 129 North 2 Street Yakima, WA 98901 Attn: Jeff Peters Regarding: CPA #004 -15, 8603 Wide Hollow Road, What the Hay LLC Thank you for the opportunity to comment on CPA #004 -15, the proposed change in the future land use map designation from Low density residential R -1 to High density residential R -3 at 8603 Wide Hollow Road. Approximately 40 acres of our R -1 zoned property abuts the proposed R -3 and to the west and we strongly oppose the rezone of the 27.91 acre parcel 181330 -42402 from R -1 to R -3 for the following reasons. The proposed change to the Future Land Use map designation is a process allowed by the City, to move forward with a "Non- Project application" to change zoning by indicating that the issues of incompatibility, buffering, traffic flow, etc. will be addressed as a part of a future development plan for the property. Now is the time to address all of the issues and problems. The proponent has inaccurately stated that "The proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring land uses because the general area to the west, south, and east are sparsely developed." The surrounding agricultural and suburban land uses continue because this neighborhood is located near the fringe of the City limits. The surrounding agricultural and suburban residential land uses are the reasons why the proponent's site is not suitable for high density R -3 development. The newest subdivision development in this neighborhood is Cottonwood Grove, which is predominately R -1 single family residential along with some R -2 to the west. Therefore, a rezone of the 27.91 acre parcel from R -1 to R -3 high density residential is not compatible to the surrounding low density residential land uses. The proponent has also stated that there is a limited amount of undeveloped R -3 land in West Valley, which may technically be correct if limited only to West Valley. However, the proponent did not note there are numerous R -3 parcels available within the City urban area, including parcels 181204 - 11002/181303 -22008 which total 40.62 acres, the Westwood West proposed multi -zoned development, or the 50 acres located on south 64 Ave. and Occidental which is also proposed to be rezoned by the Cottonwood Development. In addition, Congdon Orchards has hundreds of acres of R -3 land available for development with primary arterial access, all utilities, bus service, etc., all of which are closer to the City core, as opposed to the westerly edge of the City. It is my understanding that the intent of the Growth Management Act was to encourage the RECEIVED OCT INDEX rA 8 ?hLL L.V LII development of vacant land near the City core, rather than allow spot zoning near the fringes of the city limits. Vacant land closer in to the core should first be developed. Growth Management also recognizes that there is a need for mineral resources and there are a limited number of gravel pits. However, the need does not warrant the development within a non - compatible single family residential neighborhood, which also applies to the proposed R -3 zone in a R -1 residential neighborhood. On October 23, 2015, the Yakima Herald Republic front page photo captions states "Selah is rewriting its planned development ordinance, partly in response to concerns about high- density developments and their compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods. City officials say a development on Southern Avenue (foreground) highlights the problem of such developments not fitting in naturally with nearby single - family residences." I would argue that the proposed high- density rezone in West Valley is also not compatible with the surrounding single family land uses. I would urge the Yakima City Planning and City Council to be consistent with their previous denial of the proposed Toscanna development because it was deemed incompatible with the single family residential neighborhood. The Toscanna developer had proposed 40 duplexes and almost 100 apartments and the City denied their request. The proposed What the Hay LLC development could potentially have 336 apartments. In conclusion, with the availability of existing R -2 and R -3 land closer to the Yakima City core, along with the surrounding land use of primarily agricultural and low density single family residences within the proposal's neighborhood, I strongly recommend that the request to change the Future Land Use map designation of 27.91 acres from R -1 to R -3 be denied.

Larry and Nancy Hasen 8507 Grove Ave 1 Peters, Jeff From: TIM and JENEANE MCCOY <tmccoysl @msn.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2015 2:17 PM To: Peters, Jeff Subject: Comments on CPA #004 -14 Land Use Application Jeff, Thank you for taking the time to speak with me on the phone earlier, To Yakima Planning Commission; I live on Plath avenue, just north of the intersection of Wide Hollow and 80th avenue, and I own a duplex in the Cottonwood Grove subdivision. I want to take the time to express my concern over the referenced application to increase from low- density residential to high- density residential. First of all it is unfortunate that landowners and residences in the vicinity were not given adequate notification of this proposed action due to State law only requiring notification within 300 feet of the subject property. (Yellow placards are not adequate notification, they are like notes on the refrigerator that seemingly disappear from view after a few days, or we don't pay any attention to them in the first place). Allowing high - density residential development of this property will have a significant impact on landowners and residences from 72nd Ave. to 98th Ave. and from Tieton Drive to Zier just in terms of increased traffic in this area. Much of the traffic from Zier, Cottonwood Canyon and Wide Hollow areas, including West Valley High School use Wide Hollow and 80th avenue making this a congested area due to narrow and inadequate streets. In addition children walk to school along 80th avenue with no sidewalks or adequate shoulder. Allowing high- density residential in this area will greatly exacerbate these problems. Secondly, West Valley is primarily an area of single family residences, with some duplexes as noted in Cottonwood Grove, families who have moved here because West Valley still has a semblance of country living while being relatively close to town. High- density residential, particularly apartments, in this area will change the character of our community and may affect property values as well. There are areas closer to town that are adequately served by multi -lane streets with sidewalks and that already have apartment complexes in the vicinity that would better serve this need for high- density residential. Finally, while the developer has not submitted a proposal to construct apartment buildings, and may not do so, I would caution that changing zoning to allow this use will open the door. Any successful planner will seek to maximize his profits, so to change the zoning to high- density with the hopes that maybe it will be developed at a lower density is naive. I would ask that the Planning Commission take these matters into account while deliberating on this application and keep the best interest and safety of the West Valley community in mind. Thank you for considering my comments. Best Regards, Tim McCoy Valley Residence 101 1 Robert L.

We are aware that there is not a specific proposal on file for this application and that being the case, should be ample reason for denying the application at this time. We are also aware that no studies have been completed that would justify the granting of the application /proposal, if a proposal existed. While we would enjoy the land to remain as open space, we realize that it will be developed at some point. We strongly encourage that this property and all other property adjacent to the Cottonwood Grove subdivision remain R -1 zoning and that future development be consistent with current types of homes within the Cottonwood Grove Subdivision, e.g. single family in comparison to common wall /duplex structures. We request to be notified in writing, in a timely manner, of any decision regarding this application by the Planning Committee or Planning Commission. ectfu lly, / -- Robert Fawcett and Christina Fawcett INDEX 0 C .a 2�1'� October 21, 2015 City of Yakima Planning Division Code CPA #004 -15 129 North 2 " Street Yakima, WA 98901 Dear Planning Board, Please REJECT /DENY the request to rezone the area in the Cottonwood Grove Neighborhood (CPA #004 - 15).

OW October 26, 2015 To whom it may concern; I feel we are being duped by What the Hay, LLC and the Yakima Planning Commission on the re- zoning of the property located at 8603 Wide Hollow Road. First of all, the first I am hearing about this re -zone is when a neighbor brought by a flyer explaining the re -zone. This flyer directed us to a website and says the appeals had to be in by July 10, 2015. How do you appeal something if you do not know anything about it? Secondly, the land use action proposed sign went up last week, and is conveniently placed parallel to Rose Lane so the only way you can see it is if you turn your head to the right or left depending on which direction you are going. Why isn't that sign placed so residents of Cottonwood Grove can see it? Thirdly, how many other homeowners of Cottonwood Grove Subdivision do not have any idea of the proposed change? For example, my husband works in Selah and he comes and goes via 87t and Tieton. Had I not seen the sign the other day he wouldn't have known anything about it? Fourth, the meeting to express your complaints is conveniently Tuesday, October 27t at 3:30 pm. How convenient for the builder as most working people's hours are 8 -5pm and would have to take vacation to attend. I really feel the wool is being pulled over our eyes, by trying to push this re -zone through without giving the neighboring properties proper notification. That being said, my main concerns are traffic —try getting out onto Wide Hollow from Rose Lane in the morning to go to work. With the students driving to the High School, parents taking kids to the Junior High, High school and Cottonwood Elementary, the fruit trucks and works going both directions, the people that live out further west driving into Yakima, cars going over 50 mph it is extremely difficult to get onto Wide Hollow. Gee, let's add another 600 -700 cars and see how well that goes. Then, when you do get onto Wide Hollow good luck when RECEIVER 1 EX OCT 26 1015 P I'c`y X11° YAIdA , y ;' I f G Oly. you get to 80 to turn left with all the parents coming from the Jr or Sr High School to either go back home or to work. A CONGESTION nightmare. Besides the congestion and log jam, has anyone though about what impact it will have on the West Valley School District? You know these "affordable" apartments will hose multi families. Can the WV School district absorb this increase in students? What about 88 Ave, I watch people speeding down the hill every day and have even seen people get passed, it is a drag strip already can just imagine what it will turn into. There are families with children walking and riding bikes on 88 that will have to stop or someone will get killed or permanently maimed. That will be on your conscience, not mine. Last but not least the builder is concerned about the lack of affordable places to live —I am not buying that all he is concerned about is his BOTTOM LINE- $$$$$. If the City of Yakima Planning Division has any common sense they will not allow this re -zone to go through. Suzanne DeShaw- Homeowner 8800 Midvale Rd. RECEIVED CITY Of YAKIMA L N$N =°m,bi °•m I'�R?

I own my home at 8501 W Arlington, Ave in the Cottonwood Grove development. My family and I have owned our home for the past 7 1/2 years. I have only learned about this project and proposed rezoning today. I was not made aware of this project as I have been about past developments in the surrounding areas of my residence. A concerned neighbor shared this proposal with me. Both my wife and I are unable to attend the planning meeting on such short notice due to our careers. My work requires travel and my wife is an RN in surgery at Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital. We do not feel adequate notice was given in regards to this proposed rezoning change and subsequent meeting. We have deep concerns about this property being rezoned for high density residential development. We purchased our home in our development so we would not have to worry about high levels of traffic and an overburdened school for our future (at the time) children. We bought our home knowing that the neighborhood would potentially be further developed, however with the zoning we felt comfortable that our investment in our families future was a good one. What actions can we take to voice our opposition to this proposal?

Other Site Characteristics: a. Critical Area Restrictions: Approximately 15.82 acres of the subject property is presently encumbered by the FEMA 100 -year floodplain which will required Critical Area Review under YMC Ch. 15.27 for any future proposed construction or development within the 100 -year floodplain. However, there is presently an effort underway by the Yakima County Flood Control District to reroute Shaw Creek which is the cause of the majority of the area being encumbered by the 100 -year floodplain. If successful, the relocation of Shaw Creek will modify the 100 -year floodplain shifting it from crossing the property in a northwest to southeasterly direction, and moving it entirely off the subject property south of Wide Hollow Rd. b. Existing Infrastructure: i. Streets: The subject site is currently accessed by Wide Hollow Rd. classified as Minor Arterial Street which requires 80 ft. of right -of -way with curb, gutter, and sidewalk in accordance with YMC Title 12 upon development. Rose Ln. is the second access to the property which is a private drive and developed as a fire lane to serve the plat of Cottonwood Grove until such time as the surrounding street grid was expanded and connected. S. 88 Ave., which connects to Rose Ln., is presently designated as a Local Access Street and is fully improved within the plat of Cottonwood Grove with curb, gutter, and sidewalk. Also, just south of Cottonwood Grove is a 50 -ft. wide, unimproved, piece of public right -of -way, and a 30 ft. wide piece of property owned by Cottonwood Partners which could be dedicated at the time of development for the extension of Nob Hill Blvd., designated as a Minor Arterial Street. In the event that the subject property is developed Wide Hollow Rd. will require approximately five feet of right -of -way to be dedicated, and construction of curb gutter and sidewalk to allow for the safe passage of children walking to and from school. S. 88 Ave., south of the extension of Nob Hill Blvd., is designated as a Minor Arterial street in the West Valley Neighborhood Plan, and will require dedication totaling 80 -ft. of right -of -way, and construction of curb, gutter, and sidewalk. Nob Hill Blvd., will require dedication totaling 30 -ft. of right -of -way, and construction of curb, gutter, and sidewalk. ii. Water & Sewer: The subject property is located within the service area for the Nob Hill Water Association, who has indicated that the subject property is capable of being served at the density requested. Sewer service for the subject property is provided by the City of Yakima through the extension of the 10 -inch sewer main in S. 85 Ave. iii. Irrigation: The subject property is served by the Yakima Valley Irrigation District. 2015 Comprehensive Plan Amendment DOC. CPA #004 -15 INDEX What The Hay, LLC 2 B. Environmental Review. This is a non - project application without a specific use or site plan to be considered. Environmental Review (SEPA) was completed for this application, and a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued on June 26, 2015. No appeals were filed. C. Comments Received lAtashinoton State Department of Eclov Toxics Clean Up —Based upon the historical agricultural use of this land, there is a possibility the soil contains residual concentrations of pesticides. Ecology recommends that the soils be sampled and analyzed for lead and arsenic, and for organochlorine pesticides. If these contaminants are found at concentrations above the Model Toxics Control Act cleanup levels, Ecology recommends that potential buyers be notified of their occurrence. Public Comments Five comments from surrounding property owners were received during the 20 -day public comment period for this application. The areas of concern are as follows: Privacy; already sufficient R -3 property in the city; services are not available to support the development; destruction of surrounding neighborhood; increased traffic and crime; decreased property values; R -3 would be out of character with surrounding residences and neighborhood; and Rose Ln. is not capable of supporting the proposed traffic. D. Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) Approval Criteria. The 2006 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map designates this area as Low Density Residential. In accordance with the provisions of the Yakima Municipal Code, the following criteria must be considered in the review of any proposed amendment to the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. YMC § 16.10.040 (1): To alter the Future Land Use Map or other plan policy map, or effect a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment, the proposed amendment must do one or more of the following: (a) Address circumstances that have changed since the last time the relevant Comprehensive Plan Map or text was considered: Staff Response: The subject properties Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation and zoning district were last amended by the West Valley Neighborhood Plan (WVNP) which was adopted by the City of Yakima in February of 2011. The WVNP designated the subject property as Low Density Residential development providing for less dense development within the FEMA 100 -year floodplain, which encumbered the northeastern half of the subject property. In early 2015, the Yakima County Flood Control District in alignment with the Ahtanum - Wide Hollow Comprehensive Flood Hazard Management Plan, initiated the environmental review and permitting process to relocate Shaw Creek, which upon completion will remove the subject property, and the plat of Cottonwood Grove from the 100 -year floodplain. This change in the 100 -year floodplain will create a change in circumstances that unencumbers approximately 15.82 acres of property, and removes all restrictive Comprehensive Plan goals and policies which add additional development standards for development in the 100 -year floodplain. 2015 Comprehensive Plan Amendment p � CPA #004 -15 DOC• What The Hay, LLC INDEX 3 (b) Better implement applicable Comprehensive Plan policies than the current relevant Comprehensive Plan map or text: Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan: Staff Response: The City of Yakima's Urban Area Comprehensive Plan defines the Future Land Use Designation of the subject property as: Low Density Residential described as "primarily free standing single - family residences. Residential density is less than 7.0 dwelling units per acre. This is the lowest possible residential density that can efficiently support public services." In contrast, the High Density Residential Future Land Use designation is described as "multi- family residential development may include apartments, condominiums and townhouses, containing 12 or more dwelling units per acre. A limited range of other mixed land uses may be permitted, such as some professional offices and community services." While the Low Density Residential Future Land Use designation allows for less dense development, and goals and policies which ensure that higher dense developments cluster away from the 100 -year floodplain, the High Density Residential Future Land Use designation in this case is a better fit for the subject property as it allows for a broader selection of housing choices that allow higher urban densities which in turn allows for a more efficient extension and use of public services, such as sewer, water, streets, transit, ect. In addition, regardless of whether the 100 -year floodplain is removed from the subject property, the High Density Residential Future Land Use designation provides the most flexibility to allow extension of services to serve the subject properties with utilities and infrastructure, while also providing the developer a larger amount of housing types, and development options such as clustering and open space to allow a greater amount of housing density that is clustered outside of the 100 -year floodplain. In addition, this proposal better implements the applicable plan policies because it meets the following goals and policies: Goal 3.1— Provide for a broad distribution of housing in Yakima that meets the affordability and neighborhood design needs of the public. Policy 3.1.1 —High Density Residential. Policy 3.1.1.1— Development shall be at an overall density of 12 dwelling units per acre or more.

(c) Correct an obvious mapping error: Staff Response: Not applicable as an obvious mapping error did not occur. (d) Address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan: Staff Response: The deficiency this request addresses is that the City of Yakima currently has a very limited supply of property that is designated High Density Residential with Multi- Family Residential (R -3) zoning. At present, the city has a total of approximately 1,049.3 acres of R -3 zoned property, however only approximately 180 acres of the 1,049.3 acres is vacant. Approximately 159.18 aces (88 %) of the 180 "vacant" is being utilized for agriculture, and currently owned by a single property owner, leaving a total of 20.81 acres (12 %) remaining for future growth and development. At a minimum density of 12 dwelling units per net residential acre, this equates to a growth opportunity for 249 new dwelling units over the 20 year planning horizon of the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. In the event that the proposed Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment and Rezone are approved, and Shaw Creek is relocated, an additional 27.91 acres of property will be added to the City's 2015 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Do CPA #004 -15 What The Hay, LLC r 6 Comprehensive Plan for future development, an opportunity for 335 dwelling units. In the event that Shaw Creek is not relocated, 12.09 acres of the subject property would be left unencumbered by the 100 -year floodplain, resulting in a minimum of 146 new dwelling units. (e) Is the proposed CPA coordinated with, and take into consideration, the Comprehensive Plans adopted by Yakima County or cities with which the City of Yakima has, in part, common borders or related regional issues as may be required by RCW 36.70A.100? Staff Response: This proposal is consistent with RCW 36.70A.100. This application is part of the annual CPA cycle for the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan which the City of Yakima coordinates with adjacent jurisdictions. (f) Proposed CPAs must be consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA), Ch. 36.70A. RCW, and the Yakima County Wide Planning Policies (CWPP). Staff Response: This proposal is consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Yakima Countywide Planning Policies because the proposal directs urban growth to an existing urban area (within City Limits first) and encourages infill in the area where all urban level services and facilities can be provided. The proposal reduces sprawl and is served with an adequate transportation system. (g) Cumulative impacts of all CPAs, including those approved since the original adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, shall be considered in the evaluation of any proposed amendments. Staff Response: Provided that all CPA applications requesting High Density Residential and Multi- Family Residential are approved, there would be a total of 81.06 acres of new R -3 property for development created within the City of Yakima that could support a minimum of 973 dwelling units. While 81.06 acres of R -3 property may seem like a sufficient amount of property for development over a twenty year horizon, however, in comparison to the current amount of vacant R -1 (654.04 acres) and R -2 (333.26 acres) property currently provided for in the City of Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan 2025, this number is dwarfed, as there is eight times the amount of vacant R -1 property, and four times the amount of R -2 property presently available for future development. (h) For Future Land Use Map changes, please provide descriptive information regarding the property, including the status of existing land use, access to sewer and water, as well as the availability of public facilities such as schools, fire and police services. Staff Response: The subject property consists of 27.91 acres of land that is currently occupied by a single- family home. All utilities, services, and roads are available for extension throughout this site as detailed in the above findings, and the site is presently served by City of Yakima Police and Fire Departments. E. REZONE APPROVAL CRITERIA In accordance with the provisions of the Yakima Municipal Code (YMC) § 15.23.030, recommendations to approve or deny proposed rezones shall include the following considerations: (1) Testimony at public hearing. A Notice of Application was mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject properties on May 29, 2015, wherein the public was invited to submit written and /or oral comments at the public hearing on this proposed amendment. Therefore, 2015 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA #004 -15 �" What The Hay, LLC MOO 7 n after consideration of any public comments received during the course of the hearing it may be appropriate for the Planning Commission to modify the staff's recommendation. (2) The suitability of property in question for uses permitted under the proposed zoning. Provided the City of Yakima Planning Commission recommends approval of the underlying Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment for High Density Residential, the subject property would be appropriately suited for the use of multi - family housing due to the fact that the subject property will eventually be served by three Minor Arterial streets as depicted in the WVNP Proposed Functional Classification of Streets Map (Nob Hill Blvd. to the North, S. 88t Ave. to the West, & Wide Hollow Rd. to the South). The extension of the proposed streets would provide a separation of the R- 3 zoning and development from the abutting R -1 properties on three sides of the development, and Cottonwood Grove to the North, as well as redevelopment of Rose Ln. into a full city street reducing traffic impacts to and through Cottonwood Grove. In addition, due to the proposal by the Yakima County Flood Control District to relocate Shaw Creek which has the potential to unencumber 15.82 acres of R -1 property, there may be no future need to down zone the subject property to protect the FEMA 100 -year floodplain. (3) The recommendations from interested agencies and departments. No agencies or departments have registered any opposition to this rezone. (4) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan defines the High Density Residential Future Land Use designation as "multi- family residential development that may include apartments, condominiums and townhouses, containing 12 or more dwelling units per acre. A limited range of other mixed land uses may be permitted, such as some professional offices and community services." This proposal meets the previous mentioned definition and is fully supported by the goals and policies stated in the above section (D)(b) "Better implement applicable Comprehensive Plan policies than the current relevant Comprehensive Plan map or text." (5) The adequacy of public facilities, such as roads, sewer, water, and other required public services. This property is currently capable of being served by all public utilities necessary to support development of Multi - Family Residential dwellings. In addition, the subject property also provides sufficient area for dedication, and construction of all required public roads, and all abutting streets have sufficient carrying capacity to accommodate any future development. (6) The compatibility of the proposed zone change and associated uses with neighboring land uses. The proposed zone change is compatible with the existing neighboring land uses because the City of Yakima's Comprehensive Plan, and adopted West Valley Neighborhood Plan, clearly establish that Multi - Family developments (R -3) should be established along Arterial streets and intersections, have adequate utilities, and provide a street grid pattern which will buffer the proposed R -3 zoning from that of 2015 Comprehensive Plan Amendment D C. CPA #004 -15 INDEX What The Hay, LLC ` d Rid 8 the surrounding residential properties and neighboring land uses. Based upon the City's adopted Capital Facility plans, future development of the subject property will most likely result in the development of three Arterial streets buffering the R -3 property from the surrounding single - family residential neighborhoods, increase the connectivity and capacity of the city street grid, and provide a more walkable community through the construction of sidewalks and other public infrastructure. Also, through extension of public water and sewer, which is available to be extended to and through the subject site, surrounding properties currently on well and septic will be able to connect to urban level services and, develop to higher densities in alignment with the Growth Management Act. (6a) What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as sitescreening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc.? No mitigation is proposed as part of this non - project rezone request. The surrounding properties are currently vacant or have a single - family home located upon a large lot. Any mitigation could be required as part of regular site plan approval. (7) The public need for the proposed change. The public need for this proposed change stems from the fact that the City of Yakima presently does not have a sufficient amount of R -3 property to meet its 20 -year Comprehensive Plan goals and policies to ensure affordable housing. If all CPA applications requesting High Density Residential and Multi - Family Residential are approved, there would be a total of 81.06 acres of new R -3 property for development within the City of Yakima that could support a minimum of 973 dwelling units. Divided by twenty (the planning period mandated by the Growth Management Act) this equates to only a total of 50 multi - family dwelling units being built per year. When compared to the current amount of vacant R -1 (654.04 acres) (4,578 dwelling units) (229 dwelling units per year), and R -2 (333.26 acres) (3,999 dwelling units) (333 dwelling units per year). Also, should the remaining 81.06 acres of R -3 property be developed at a rate comparable to that of the Castle Creek apartments, (a 222 unit apartment complex located in the vicinity of Nob Hill Blvd. and 52n Ave., which was built out in three years (74 units per year)), it would take approximately thirteen years for the 81.06 acres to be fully built out. Based upon this calculation there would be an insufficient amount of R -3 property left within the City of Yakima for development to reach the 20 year planning horizon of the Comprehensive Plan. F. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The amendment is appropriate for the area. 2. No adverse impacts have been identified by the approval of this rezone. 3. The requested rezone better supports adjacent land uses and development. 4. The property is or can be served by all necessary public utilities capable of supporting R -3 Multi - Family land uses. IV.

I do not want either a Mobile Home Park or an Apartment complex to be allowed in my neighborhood or next to my R -1 residential property. 7) It is my understanding that the intent of the Growth Management Act was to encourage the development of vacant land near the City core, rather than allow spot zoning near the fringe areas. In conclusion, with the availability of existing R -2 and R -3 land closer to the Yakima City core, along with the surrounding land use of primarily agricultural and low density single family residences within the proposed parcels neighborhood, I would recommend that the request to change the Future Land Use map designation of 27.91 acres from R -1 to R -3 be denied by the City of Yakima Planning Department.

We have reviewed the documents and have the following comments. TOXICS CLEAN -UP Based upon the historical agricultural use of this land, there is a possibility the soil contains residual concentrations of pesticides. Ecology recommends that the soils be sampled and analyzed for lead and arsenic, and for organochlorine pesticides. If these contaminants are found at concentrations above the Model Toxics Control Act cleanup levels Ecology recommends that potential buyers be notified of their occurrence. If you have any questions or would like to respond to these Toxics Clean -up comments, please contact Valerie Bound at (509) 454 -7886 or email at valerie.bound()ecy..wa.gov.

It would destroy the identity of the neighborhood. People buy in this neighborhood because it's quiet and well -cared for. There's already a church going in which brings traffic concerns. Property values would drop. Wide Hollow and Rose Lane are not big enough to support R -3. We don't want them any bigger or busier. Also, a higher renter -owner proportion would lower the quality of life in the neighborhood. I want to be notified of any public hearings on this.

Apartment's are the opposite of why people have moved here. We enjoy the quiet, the fields, the slow traffic, our good neighbors and our low incidences of crime.

An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply ". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS Complete this checklist for non - project proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). For non - project actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.

Does Your proposal address circumstances that have changed since the last time the relevant comprehensive plan or text was considered? If_so, l ow Yes, this proposal addresses circumstances which have changed since the original comprehensive plan was adopted and the most relevant comprehensive plan update. Since the time of the original and updated comprehensive plan adoption, there has been substantial growth in the West Valley Area. This growth has placed a demand on the need for residential housing of all types. Currently there is an over abundance of property designated low- density residential and a shortage of moderate- and high- density designated properties. However, the demand which has least been met is for high- density residential housing, which is usually the most affordable. Since the start of the Recession in about 2007, which partially occurred due to the failure of the housing market, substantial housing foreclosures have occurred nation -wide and in Yakima. This failure has resulted in a need for rental housing because home ownership was declining and those losing their homes needed a new place to live. Changes to the Future Land Use Map have not occurred as quickly as necessary to keep up with this trend. Thus, the demand for high- density residential development continues to exist. A check with major owners of rental properties indicates that the rental vacancy in the Yakima Area is nearly zero. Some (Tithe most recently developed large multi - family projects in the Yakima Urban Area are located near South 48 and Nob Hill and along University Parkway Apartments in Terrace Heights. These large projects have had their land use designation and zoning changed after the adoption of the current Comprehensive Plan. Both projects have vacancy rates of zero. This indicates that a demand exists for this type of housing throughout the Yakima Urban Area. It is important to note that both these projects were constructed on large vacant parcels, with over 100 housing units being provided at each site, because larger parcels can be appropriately planned to accommodate all on -site improvements and extension of utilities to the property. In the West Valley Area, there is a limited amount of undeveloped high- density residential property available. The largest tracts of available currently are owned by a single owner, which is Congdon Orchards and totals about 160 acres. To date, none of the property under this ownership has been sold or developed with high- density residential uses. The second largest tract of undeveloped property designated high - density residential in this area is at the southeast corner of South 86 Avenue and Occidental Road, which is approximately 20 acres in size and is intended for senior living and care. The third largest undeveloped tract of land is located within the Apple Tree Resort along Occidental Road, which is approximately 15 acres in size and is generally intended to be high -end condominiums. Because of the current ownership pattern and the intended uses of the property, a shortage of property designated for high- density residential purposes exists and a need exists for more. 4, ark DEX 1/4 Changes specific to this property since the original comprehensive plan change and subsequent updates include the original subdivision of this property which created a 10 acre parcel, which has been approved for the construction of a church, and the balance of the property which is 28 acres in size and the subject of this application. This subdivision places a large parcel of property (10 acres) between the plats of Cottonwood Grove and the subject property to provide a substantial buffer between low- density residential development and the proposed high- density residential development. The roadway improvements to West Nob Hill Boulevard from South 48 Avenue to South 80 Avenue, which widened this section, has brought a better transportation facility closer to the subject property. A current proposal by the Yakima County Flood District to construct a Shaw Creek overflow, west of the subject property, will ultimately remove the majority of subject property from the 100 -year floodway and floodplain of Shaw Creek. Based on these changes and conditions in the overall West Valley Area, and the specific changes to, and around, the subject property described above, the proponent believes that substantial changes have occurred to warrant a change in the subject property land use designation from low - density residential to high- density residential. The fact that the property is large in size, 28 acres, will ensure that adequate planning can occur to accommodate the proposed land use designation change. B. Does your proposal better implement applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map or text? If so, how? Yes, this proposal better implements applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map because the change meets a demonstrated need to provide additional lands designated for high- density residential development. The proposal better implements the applicable plan policies because it meets the following goals and policies for high- density residential: Goal 3.1— Provide for a broad distribution of housing in Yakima that meets the affordability and neighborhood design needs of the public. Policy 3.1.1.1 — Development shall be at an overall density of 12 dwelling units per acre or more. Recommended zones for this density includes ...., Multi - family Residential (R- 3). Proponent Statement — Due to the size of this property, it can be developed at a density of 12 or more dwelling units if zoned Multi- family Residential. Policy 3.1.1,4 — Development shall be located along arterials or collector streets and should have good access to public transit. A PR 0 D !C„ Pt A; 1'4/4 10E,, NG D ill 4 Proponent Statement -... This property has direct access to Wide llollow Road and South 88' Avenue, which are arterial and collector streets The property also has indirect access to Westbrook Avenue, which provides access to South 80 Avenue, a col lector. Access to public transit can be gained through these routes. Policy 3.1.1.7 — Development shall be encouraged to minimize impacts on surface water. Low impacts practices are encouraged. Proponent Statement — Upon completion of the Shaw Creek overflow channel, the property will generally be free of all impacts to surface water. Goal 5.1— Encourage diverse and affordable housing choices. Policy 5.1.1 — Continually monitor affordable housing needs and assist in providing locations for affordable housing as necessary to meet this need. Policy 5.1.3 — Encourage affordable housing development. Proponent Statement — Due to the shortage of available designated high- density residential land, designating this property high- density residential would help alleviate the shortage and provide a location that will meet the demonstrated need and encourage affordable housing. C. Does your proposal correct an obvious mapping error? If so, how? No, it does not appear that an obvious mapping error occurred. This is a voluntary request on behalf of the property owner to provide an area of high - denity residential development to meet the needs of the community. D. Does our ro osal address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan? If so. what is the deficiency? This proposal does involve an identified deficiency in the comprehensive plan. The deficiency deals with the fact that there is a need for additional lands designated high - density residential development that are "available" for "immediate" development. Properties currently under this designation do not appear to be "available" to the general public for immediate development, as they are not currently for sale or being held in reserve for future designated land development. This request fulfills that deficiency by providing additional lands for immediate future growth. d ~ d * i/mew '1' o h a .,w. E. Is the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment coordinated with, and take into consideration, the comprehensive plans adopted by Yakima County or cities with which the City of Yakima has, in part, common borders or related regional issues as may be required by RCW 6.7OA.JOO? If so, how? Yes, this proposal is consistent with RCW 36.70A.100. This application is part of the annual comprehensive plan update for the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. The City of Yakima coordinates this update with Yakima County for consistency between the jurisdictions. F. Is the prop osed Comprehensive Plan Amendment consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA), RCW Ch. 36.70A, and the Yakima County -wide Planning Policy (C 'PP)? If so, how? Yes, this proposal is consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Yakima County -wide Planning Policy because the proposal directs urban growth to an existing urban area (within City Limits first) and encourages infill in an area where all urban level services and facilities are currently provided, or can easily be extended. The proposal reduces sprawl and is served with an adequate transportation system. This proposal also encourages affordable housing to all economic segments of the population and promotes a variety of residential housing types. G. Have the cumulative impacts of all comprehensive plan amendments been considered in the evaluation of the proposed amendment? If so, how? The cumulative impacts of all comprehensive plan amendments are determined by the jurisdiction processing the proposed amendment. In this situation, the impact will result in a shift away from low- density residential housing to high- density residential housing. This is a good impact from the perspective of the comprehensive plan which encourages infill projects within City Limits to reduce sprawl and best use existing services and facilities available. H. For Future Land Use Map changes, please provide descriptive information regarding the property. including the status of existing land use, access to sewer and water, as well as the availability of public facilities such as schools, fire and police services. The subject property consists of one parcel totaling approximately 28 acres. The site contains a single - family residence and miscellaneous outbuildings which are used as part of an active horse ranch. All urban services and facilities are available to the property, or can be extended to the property, as needed. DOC. / � & .

The property is well suited for all High- density Residential uses permitted under the proposed zoning. The property is flat and is currently served with all necessary infrastructure and public facilities. In fact, the property has all necessary public facilities adjoining the property on the north. It is likely that facilities, such as sanitary sewer, may have to be brought in from different locations to accommodate development on this property, however, the facilities are in the area and can be extended as necessary. The property fronts on Wide Hollow Road to the south and has access to South 88 Avenue on the north, which connects with Tieton Drive further to the north. The property also has access to South 85 Avenue, which connects with Westbrook Avenue that connects with South 80 Avenue to the east and indirectly connects to West Nob Hill Boulevard. Upon the construction of the Shaw Creek overflow project, most of the environmental constraints of the project will be removed from the property. This will leave a single approximate 28 acre parcel of property that can be developed with high density residences. The property generally lies in a mixed -use neighborhood. The surrounding area is a mixture of urban development, rural residential living, agricultural uses and local businesses. A multi - family residential development would be appropriate at this site based on those existing uses. The intent of this request is to provide additional land for high- density residential development. To be able to make these provisions, it is necessary to have a land use designation and zoning district that provides the incentive to develop the property appropriately. In this case, improvements to infrastructure and the transportation system in this area will require a higher land use designation, so that infrastructure improvements necessary to develop this site can be accomplished. What is the status of the existing land use? The subject property is currently used as a horse ranch. The property contains a single - family dwelling and miscellaneous outbuildings associated with that operation. J. How is the rezone request in compliance with and /or how does the request deviate from the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan? The rezone request is in compliance with the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan because it meets the intent behind the text of the plan as it deals with the High- density Residential designation: fny a -9 9 420/5 # -- A P44, Yitur otfr Specifically, as defined by the comprehensive plan, this proposal and general area meets the intent of the High- density Residential designation because the designation states: "Multi family residential development may include apartments, condominiums and townhouses, containing 12 or more dwelling units per acre. A limited range of other mixed land uses may be permitted, such as some professional offices and community services." This proposal meets that definition and is further supported by the following goals and policies: Goal 3.1— Provide for a broad distribution of housing in Yakima that meets the affordability and neighborhood design needs of the public. Policy 3.1.1.1 — Development shall be at an overall density of 12 dwelling units per acre or more. Recommended zones for this density includes ...., Multi- family Residential (R- 3). Proponent Statement — Due to the size of this property, it can be developed at a density of 12 or more dwelling units if zoned Multi- family Residential. Policy 3.1.1.4 — Development shall be located along arterials or collector streets and should have good access to public transit. Pro :ao Statement — This property has direct access to Wide Hollow Road, an arterial street. Access is also provided by South 88 Avenue to Tieton Drive, which are arterial and collector streets. The property has indirect access to Westbrook Avenue, which provides access to South 80 Avenue and West Nob Hill Boulevard, which are arterial and collector streets. Access to public transit can be gained through these routes. Policy 3.1.1.7 — Development shall be encouraged to minimize impacts on surface water. Low impacts practices are encouraged. Proponent Statement — Upon completion of the Shaw Creek overflow channel, the property will generally be free of all impacts to surface water. Goal 5.1— Encourage diverse and affordable housing choices. Policy 5.1.1 — Continually monitor affordable housing needs and assist in providing locations for affordable housing as necessary to meet this need. Policy 5.1.3 — Encourage affordable housing development. P�nent Statement — Due to the shortage of available designated high- density residential land, designating this property high- density residential would help alleviate 414, 44110, DOCW A pR INDEX µ ?op- j the shortage and provide a location that will meet the demonstrated need and encourage affordable housing. For all the reasons stated above, this proposal is in compliance with the comprehensive plan because it meets the goals and policies for multi - family residential development, is located in a mixed -use neighborhood and the parcel is large enough that it can be developed to multi - family residential development standards. K. Are there adequate public facilities, such as traffic capacity, sewer services, able water, stormwater drainage, schools, fire and police services, and other public services and infrastructure existing on the and around the subiect property? Yes, there are adequate public facilities to serve this proposal. The property is served with all necessary infrastructure located along the north property lines, as it abuts the plats of Cottonwood Grove. The property has adequate access as described in "I" above. The property is served with all other infrastructure including domestic water, sanitary sewer, electricity, telephone and any other needed utilities. Additionally, the site is protected by the Yakima Police and Fire Departments. Are the existing public facilities capable of supporting the most intensive use of the new (requested) zone? If not, what mitigating measures are going to be implemented to address any short falls in public services that may exist? Yes, this property can be served with the existing facilities capable of supporting the most intensive uses. If any service or facility deficiency exists in the delivery of services, necessary mitigation will take place by the developer to ensure adequate public services and facilities are in place at his /her /their expense through land use concurrency requirements. 1 . How is the proposed zone change compatible with the existing nei hboring uses? The proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring land uses because the general area to the west, south and east are sparsely developed. Properties directly to the east are rural residential in nature and are large parcels connected to individual wells and septic systems. The parcels generally contain a single - family residence and are used for hobby farming or are vacant. Slightly to the southeast is a small node of commercial and industrial uses such as a fruit packing facility with storage facilities, mini -mart, mechanical shop tavern, restaurant and drive -thru espresso stand. To the south, across Wide Hollow Road, are active agricultural uses such as orchards and row crops. To the west is a series of low intensity properties that has historically been used for pasture. Generally to the north, is a ten acre vacant parcel of property which is owned by the DOC. P , °^ INDEX , ( " LA Add 41 (16 , 1' Div Foursquare Church and beyond that are the plats of Cottonwood Grove, a series of conventional urban subdivisions. This project is compatible with all these surrounding uses because it is located in the Yakima Urban Area, an area determined to be the future growth area for the City of Yakima for at least the next 20 years. The low density development and agricultural uses on the west, east and south provide adequate buffering between uses to off -set any adverse impacts. The impact of high- density residential and generally undeveloped property should be compatible with one another. The 10 acre parcel on the north provides a substantial buffer between the plats of Cottonwood Grove and this proposal, thus providing substantially displacement between the low density residential uses and the proposed high density uses. The transportation network is such, that collectors and arterial will be used for access to and from the property, which will ensure that traffic does not become disruptive to the surrounding neighborhood. What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as sitescreening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc.? No specific mitigation is proposed as part of the rezone request, as it is a non - project application. However, appropriate mitigation is built into the zoning code through regular site plan approval, which would be required as part of any development plan for the property. M. What is the public need for the proposed change? The public need arises from the fact that there is a demonstrated need for additional high density residential property in the Yakima Urban Area. As indicated in the written narrative associated with the attached Comprehensive Land Use change request, large parcels of "available" high density residential property are owned by just a few property owners. The property under this ownership is either not for sale or dedicated to a specific use. This has created a shortage of "available" high density residential property. Existing vacant parcels of property designated high density residential and zoned Multi- family Residential (R -3) have been fully built -out and are occupied by residents upon completion. To meet the needs of the community with diverse and affordable housing choices, property must be made available to fulfill this desired goal. This rezone to Multi- family Residential (R -3) meets that public need and perspective. 2 uT , SEX , ! l .

Existing Buildings/ Infrastructure: i. Construction: The subject site currently contains two existing single - family homes. The west property totaling 2,374 sq. ft., and the east totaling 4,008 sq. ft. in size. Also located on both properties are a number of accessory structures. ii. Streets: The subject site is currently accessed by W. Logan, S. 40 and S. 38th Avenues. S. 40th Ave. is classified as Principal Arterial Street which requires 100 ft. of right -of -way, W. Logan and S. 38 Avenues are classified as Local Access streets requiring 50 ft. of right -of -way, and all streets require curb, gutter, and sidewalk in accordance with YMC Title 12. S. 40 Ave is fully improved with curb, gutter, and sidewalk along this property's street frontage, however the right -of -way is deficient by approximately 35 ft. total. W. Logan and S. 38 Avenues are both unimproved lacking curb, gutter and sidewalk, and requiring dedication of 10 additional ft. of right -of -way. iii. Water & Sewer: The subject property is located within the Service Area for the Nob Hill Water Association who has indicated that the subject buildings are currently served with water lines in both W. Logan and 40 Ave. Sewer Service for the easterly building is provided by the City of Yakima through an 12 -inch sewer main running north thru the subject property, and the westerly property is presently on septic, which will be required to connect to sewer upon development. B. Environmental Review. Environmental Review (SEPA) was completed for this application, and a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued on June 29, 2015. No appeals were filed. C. Comments Received Ten comments from surrounding property owners were received during the 20 -day public comment period in opposition to this application. The areas of concern are as follows: 2014 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA #005 -15 D Co INDEX 2 There is already a sufficient amount of B -1 zoned property in the area; there would be increased traffic and speed; the streets would be unsafe; the B -1 zoning would not be consistent with the residential neighborhood; decreased property values; views would be obstructed; fear that the creek will not be protected; already a large amount of vacant professional office space available in the area. D. Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) Approval Criteria. The 2006 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map designates this area as Low Density Residential. In accordance with the provisions of the Yakima Municipal Code, the following criteria must be considered in the review of any proposed amendment to the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. YMC § 16.10.040 (1): To alter the Future Land Use Map or other plan policy map, or effect a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment, the proposed amendment must do one or more of the following: (a) Address circumstances that have changed since the last time the relevant Comprehensive Plan or text was considered: Staff Response: The applicant indicates circumstances have changed, and that a significant amount of property that had been designated Professional Office in the central /west portion of the City of Yakima has been developed over the last two to five years. No new property of any significant size has been added to the Professional Office land use designation over the last two to five years. Of the three large properties that were designated Professional Office, in the central /west Yakima area, two have been fully developed, which are the properties of N. 62 " Ave. and Summitview, and S. 72 " Ave. and Tieton Dr. This has left a small node of Professional Business designated property located in the vicinity of S. 48 Ave. and W. Nob Hill Blvd., which only has three available lots for new professional development. Based on these conditions, a shortage of property designated Professional Business exists therefore, to maintain Yakima's economic edge in attracting and retaining businesses, additional properties need to be designated Professional Business. In support of the applicant's above statements, the City of Yakima Planning Division conducted a Geographic Information Systems analysis of the City's B -1 zoning district and found that of the total amount of property designated B -1 throughout the City, there are only 33 tax parcels that are vacant (vacant is defined as a property with an assessed value of less than $5,000.00) totaling 28.13 acres, and the average lot size is 37,131 sq. ft. in size. Furthermore, west of 40 Ave. there are only ten vacant B -1 properties totaling 15.99 acres of property, and many of these parcels are clustered in and around 40 Ave. North of Yakima Ave. The applicant states that additional changes that have occurred in the area of S. 40 Ave. and W. Logan are, the business park south of the subject property is nearly built - out, and only four undeveloped lots which have a Comprehensive Plan designation of Industrial and zoning of General Commercial remain. Additionally, there is also a business park property located at the intersection of W. Washington and S. 40 Ave., however that property has a Comprehensive Plan designation of Industrial, and zoning of Airport Support. While both of these areas may allow for some form of office use, 2014 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA #005-15 1 `' 1 E 3 vex rr�.r their overall purpose is to reserve the property for higher more intense commercial land uses which are not generally compatible with residential properties (b) Better implement applicable Comprehensive Plan policies than the current relevant Comprehensive Plan map or text: Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan: Staff Response: The City of Yakima's Urban Area Comprehensive Plan defines the current Future Land Use Designation of the subject property as: Low Density Residential described as "primarily free standing single - family residences. Residential density is less than 7.0 dwelling units per acre. This is the lowest possible residential density that can efficiently support public services. The Professional Office Future Land Use Designation, which is the designation sought with this application, is defined as "a wide range of office uses, such as financial institutions, real estate, insurance, engineering, legal, medical offices and other similar business uses, specifically permitted by the applicable zoning district ". The proposed Map Amendment request to Professional Office, and rezone request to Professional Business better implements applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current comprehensive plan map because it meets the following goals and policies: Goal 3.6: Provide opportunities for office development to promote economic growth and to meet the need for office space in the Yakima Urban Area. Policy 3.6.1: Encourage clustering of office development in concentrated areas, Policy 3.6.2: Use offices as transitional uses between commercial and residential areas. Policy 3.6.3: Promote small -scale office development that will not have significant adverse impacts on adjacent neighborhoods. Policy 3.6.4: Encourage placing parking lots behind buildings, or along the side of the buildings. Policy 3.6.6: Encourage the development of a high quality, campus style office park through Commercial Planned Development (Commercial PD) or when associated with a master plan development and /or Regional Commercial designation. Goal 10.9: Manage development in floodplains to protect public health and safety,. Prevent increased flooding from stormwater runoff. Policy 10.9.1: Protect natural drainage systems associated with floodways and floodplains. Policy 10.9.2: Ensure that new development will not affect the flood elevations in surrounding areas. Policy 10.9.3: Ensure adequate protection of life and property from flood events. 2014 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA #005 -15 INDEX r ��, 4 Policy 10.9.4: Limit development located within the 100 -year floodplain unless it is possible to mitigate and restrict development within the floodway. Policy 10.9.5: Emphasize non - structural methods in planning for flood prevention and damage reduction. Policy 10.9.6: Encourage compliance with stormwater regulations for onsite retention of stormwater. Policy 10.9.7: Preserve natural drainage courses. Policy 10.9.8: Minimize adverse storm water impacts generated by the removal of vegetation and alteration of landforms. Policy 10.9.10: Encourage new development to adopt best management practices such as reduction of impervious surfaces and provisions for filtering pollutants. Policy 10.9.9: Minimize the extent of parking lots and impervious surfaces near or along river and stream corridors. Policy 10.9.11: Encourage and support the retention of natural open space or land uses that maintain hydrologic function and are at low risk to property damage from floodwaters within frequently flood areas. In addition, the proponent states "this project specifically meets the above goals and policies because the proposed change in land use would add to the existing cluster of professional business development which lies to the south, would provide a transition between the General Commercial uses on the south and the residential uses on the north and promotes small scale office development that would not have significant impacts on adjacent neighborhoods." The "expected users of the property would be real estate, insurance, engineering, legal, medical and other similar business uses specifically permitted in the Professional Business (B -1) zoning district, which are compatible with residential uses." The goals and policies pertaining to the 100 -year floodplain and Critical Area associated with Wide Hollow Creek are also met, due to the fact that generally commercial development is a good steward of environmentally sensitive property. Specifically, commercial developments: 1) generally avoid encroaching into environmental buffer areas, tending to use sensitive properties as buffers between different types of land uses, 2) do not build within the 100 -year floodway, 3) avoid building construction within the 100 -year floodplain to ensure a lower insurance rates, and avoid damage to their structures, and 4) ensure adequate protection of life and property from flood risks. In cases where commercial development does build within the 100 -year floodplain the buildings are held to a higher construction standard requiring the building to be elevated one foot above the 100 -year floodplain, and or employing flood proofing construction techniques into the design of the building. (c) Correct an obvious mapping error: Staff Response: A mapping error did not occur with regard to this request. 2014 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA #005 -15 INEZ e-t 5 „ (d) Address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan: Staff Response: The City of Yakima Planning division agrees with the applicant's statements that the proposed map amendment addresses the low supply of property designated Professional Business within the City of Yakima as detailed above. (e) Is the proposed CPA coordinated with, and take into consideration, the Comprehensive Plans adopted by Yakima County or cities with which the City of Yakima has, in part, common borders or related regional issues as may be required by RCW 36.70A.100? Staff Response: This proposal is consistent with RCW 36.70A.100. This application is part of the annual CPA cycle for the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan which the City of Yakima coordinates with adjacent jurisdictions. (f) Proposed CPAs must be consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA), Ch. 36.70A. RCW, and the Yakima County Wide Planning Policies (CWPP). Staff Response: This proposal is consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Yakima Countywide Planning Policies because the proposal directs professional office growth to an existing urban area (within City limits first) and encourages infill in the area where all urban level services and facilities can be provided. The proposal reduces sprawl and is served with an adequate transportation system. (g) Cumulative impacts of all CPAs, including those approved since the original adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, shall be considered in the evaluation of any proposed amendments. Staff Response: Provided that all CPA applications requesting Professional Office and Professional Business are approved, there would be a total of 15.97 acres of new B -1 property within the City of Yakima and an overall city wide total of 397.97 acres of B -1 property. (h) For Future Land Use Map changes, please provide descriptive information regarding the property, including the status of existing land use, access to sewer and water, as well as the availability of public facilities such as schools, fire and police services. Staff Response: The subject property consists of three tax parcels totaling 7.5 acres of land which is presently occupied by two single- family homes, and multiple accessory buildings. The subject properties are, or can be served by all utilities, and the public streets of W. Logan, S. 38th Ave., and S. 40 Ave. as detailed in the above findings. The site is also served by City of Yakima Police and Fire Departments. E. REZONE APPROVAL CRITERIA In accordance with the provisions of the Yakima Municipal Code (YMC) § 15.23.030, recommendations to approve or deny proposed rezones shall include the following considerations: (1) Testimony at public hearing. A Notice of Application was mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject properties on May 29, 2015, wherein the public was invited to submit written and /or oral comments (summarized above) at the public hearing on this proposed amendment. Following comments received from surrounding residences during the public comment period which ended on June 19, 2015, and the Planning Commission study secession on July 27, 2015, the applicant elected to modify their 2014 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA #005 -15 DOM DEX 6 4 6 ILI original application to include a 100 ft. residential buffer along W. Logan Ave. to address comments from surrounding residents that the proposed office complex would not be compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood. Therefore, after consideration of any public comments received during the course of the hearing it may be appropriate for the Planning Commission to modify or add to the staff's recommendation. (2) The suitability of property in question for uses permitted under the proposed zoning. Provided the City of Yakima Planning Commission approves the underlying Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment for Professional Business, the City Planning Division agrees with the applicant that the property is well suited for the uses permitted as the property is generally flat with street frontages on both a Local Access street and a Major Arterial street, which provides clear visibility to the subject properties. The properties have appropriate access to both domestic sewer and water supplies, and the topography of the properties is such that any proposed development could meet the requirements of the Eastern Washington Storm Water Manual. In regard to the location of Wide Hollow Creeks floodplain and Critical Area restrictions, there is a minimum of 2.63 acres of property which is located outside of these two restrictive areas, with a remaining lot which would meet the minimum lot size and setback requirements for the B -1 zoning district upon completion of the Lot Line Adjustment application required to create the 100 ft. deep Single - Family Residential buffer lot. In regard to the land uses permitted within the B -1 zoning district which are generally office type business which operate during normal daytime business hours. These businesses are professional in nature such as: real estate; insurance; engineering; legal; medical; and other similar businesses. The traffic generated from a professional office building during an average work day, based upon the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual 9 Edition that is 57,281 sq. ft. in size or half the 2.63 acres of unencumbered land (taking into account required parking, landscaping, site screening, and dedication of right -of -way) is 631 average daily trips. A development of the same property into 10 single - family homes at a minimum lot size of 6,000 sq. ft. would generate 95 average daily trips. In addition, if the 100 ft. residential buffer were further platted into single - family Tots, 10 more single - family homes could be constructed generating an additional 95 daily trips for a total of 190. In comparison to a weekend when the average home owner is not at work the total number of trips for the 10 single - family homes decreases to 90 average daily trips, while the number of trips generated by the office drastically decreases to 140. While both proposals have a potential to generate a sufficient amount of traffic, all existing streets have sufficient carrying capacity to accommodate the proposed increases. Although the City of Yakima Planning Division can support both the original proposal and the applicant's modified proposal, there are several facts that need to be stated concerning the 100 ft. buffer proposal which are as follows: 1. If the 100 ft. buffer lot proposal were approved, the applicant's Comprehensive Plan and Rezone ordinance could be approved by the Yakima City Council, however the 2014 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA #005 -15 1 -)1{ ordinance would not be recordable until such time as the Short Plat Exemption /Lot Line Adjustment Application was approved by the Yakima County Auditor's Office; 2. Prior to the applicant filing a Short Plat Exemption /Lot Line Adjustment Application with the City of Yakima, all existing buildings will be required to be removed from the subject properties; and 3. Until such time as the property owner of the approximate 62,278 sq. ft. single - family buffer lot along W. Logan Ave. further subdivides the subject property, no dedication of public right -of -way, and /or improvement of the street (installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalk) can be required. (3) The recommendations from interested agencies and departments. No agencies or departments have registered any opposition to this rezone. However, Cathy Reed from the State of Washington Department of Ecology commented that "This reviewer could find no information in the checklist documentation that addresses the fact that this development is adjacent to a creek with flooding problems. It would seem prudent to address this issue before the rezone is approved. In addition, a wetland determination by a qualified wetland professional should be completed for the sites. Wide Hollow Creek makes a hard turn (less than 90 degrees in this location) where it is likely that water will be forced onto the properties proposed for rezone..." Ecology wetland staff would be happy to assist the City in a reconnaissance of the properties to determine whether wetlands are present or not, and whether a formal wetland delineation is needed." In response to Ecology's comments, staff has reviewed the applicant's complete application and found that all three of the submitted applications reference Wide Hollow Creek. Furthermore, in the applicant's State Environmental Checklist under the section for Water, the applicant states, "yes, the south property line of all three properties is the Wide Hollow Creek ", and under the question does the proposal lie within a 100 -year floodplain, the applicant answers "yes, see critical areas map attached to this application ". Also, under the question of proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any. The applicant answers "development of the property will be limited in scope due to the floodplain of Wide Hollow Creek." Due to the fact that this application is a non - project Comprehensive Plan Map amendment and rezone, where no development plans have been submitted, requirement of a wetland delineation is not appropriate at this time, but will be required prior to development of the subject property in accordance with the City's Critical Area Ordinance. (4) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan defines the Professional Office Future Land Use designation as "a wide range of office uses, such as financial institutions, real estate, insurance, engineering, legal, medical offices and other similar business uses, specifically permitted by the applicable zoning district ". This proposal meets the previous mentioned definition and is fully supported by the goals and policies stated above under section (D)(b) "Better implement applicable Comprehensive Plan policies than the current relevant Comprehensive Plan map or text." 2014 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA #005 -15 „ I I t 8 (5) The adequacy of public facilities, such as roads, sewer, water, and other required public services. This property is capable of being served by all public utilities necessary to support development of Professional Business, and all abutting streets have sufficient carrying capacity to accommodate any future development. (6) The compatibility of the proposed zone change and associated uses with neighboring land uses. The applicant indicates that "the proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring uses which lie to the south, which are generally professional business in nature and compatible with uses permitted in the Professional Business zoning district. Properties to the north and east are residential in nature and contain single - family residences. Due to the extent of the floodplain along the east property line, development will be severely limited. A buffer will need to be retained which will create substantial distance between the existing uses to the east and any proposed development on the property. Properties to the north, across West Logan Avenue would notice the most change and are likely to see the greatest impacts. However, the permitted uses in the proposed zoning district are limited in nature and impacts are nominal. Because the proposed uses are professional businesses, they are usually well maintained, landscaped and have limited hours of operation. This helps ensure compatibility between the different uses and the concept of professional business adjacent to residential zonings is encouraged by the Comprehensive Plan. A review of professional offices located on South 40th Aveune, just north of this site is an example of how professional office space and residential uses co -exist with one another and promote compatibility between the uses..." The City of Yakima Planning division fully agrees with the applicant's statements regarding compatibility of the Professional Business zoning district with residential uses. In addition, one of the greatest reasons the proposed zone change is compatible with surrounding land uses is that by voluntarily amending their application to include a 100 -ft. deep residential buffer, the applicant has self - mitigated the impacts of any effects the proposed professional office development may have on the existing neighborhood. (6a) What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as sitescreening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc.? The applicant indicated as part of their original application that "no specific mitigation is proposed as part of the rezone request, as it is a non - project application. However, appropriate mitigation is built into the zoning code through regular site plan approval, which would be required as part of any development plan for the property." While the applicant's statement is completely correct, by amending their application, they have provided additional mitigation in the form of a buffer between existing residential properties and new residential that would abut the B -1 zoning, and the second would be that any proposed traffic for the office development would be redirected to access off S. 40 Ave. instead of W. Logan Ave. 2014 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA #005 -15 10C, 9 (7) The public need for the proposed change. The public need for this proposed change is that there is a need for additional Professional Business (B -1) zoning in the City of Yakima as demonstrated by the applicant's Comprehensive Plan Map amendment application. The supply of B -1 zoning has been steadily decreasing over the last several years as more and more of the existing B -1 zoning originally established with the City's 2006 Comprehensive Plan Update and City wide rezone process is built out with successful professional office buildings and complexes. This proposal will increase the availability of B -1 property in an area by approximately 6.12 acres where professional business has already located and continues to locate. The proposal makes use of existing infrastructure in the area and expands an existing cluster of professional uses. To meet the demand of the professional business community, new land needs to be added to the current inventory of developable B -1 property, so businesses have adequate choices and opportunities to locate within the city limits. Approval of this application would permit existing businesses to move to this site or possibly attract new business to the area while protecting the surrounding residential neighborhood from the minimal impacts of professional office development. F. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The amendment is appropriate for the area. 2. No unmitigated adverse impacts have been identified by the approval of this Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment & Rezone applications. 3. The requested Comprehensive Plan & Rezone better supports the existing land use. 4. The property is currently served by all necessary public utilities capable of supporting future Professional Business. IV.

The property owner was previously requesting to change the Future Land Use Map designation for this property from Low Density Residential to Professional Office and to concurrently rezone from Single - Family Residential (R -1) to Professional Business (B -1). REVISED PROJECT DESCRIPTION Based upon a review of written comments received during the application comment period, and comments from neighbors and members of the Yakima City Planning Commission during the application study session, the applicant is voluntarily revising their application to provide a 100 - foot wide strip of property designated as Low Density Residential and zoned Single -Family Residential across Tax Parcels: 18132743493, 18132743492, and 18132743494 which abuts W.

Please keep this letter as documentation that you have met this procedural requirement. City of Yakima - Proposed comprehensive plan map amendments (one ordinance for nine requests), nine concurrent rezones, and Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance housekeeping text amendments. These materials were received on September 30, 2015 and processed with the Material ID # 21690. We have forwarded a copy of this notice to other state agencies. If this submitted material is an adopted amendment, then please keep this letter as documentation that you have met the procedural requirement under RCW 36.70A.106. If you have submitted this material as a draft amendment, then final adoption may occur no earlier than November 29, 2015. Please remember to submit the final adopted amendment to Commerce within ten (10) days of adoption.

(J 1 A XEDF1 129 North Second Street l` P Yakima, Washington 98901 RE: CPA #005 -15, RZ #005 -15 — TM Rentals Dear Mr. Peters: This letter is a request to revise the above referenced Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Rezone application. Based on written comments received during the application comment period and comments from neighbors and members of the Yakima City Planning Commission during the application study session, the property owner would like to voluntarily revise the application and provide a buffer between the proposed land use changes and the neighboring properties to the north. The property owner believes, after careful consideration of the comments, that a buffer would promote compatibility with neighboring properties to the north. The property owner would like to revise the application so that the north 100 feet of the Parcel Numbers 181327 - 43492, 43493 & 43494, as they about West Logan Avenue, would not be part of the current application. In essence, a 100 -foot buffer of property designated as Low - density Residential and zoned Single- family Residential would be retained, as it is presently designated and zoned. This revision is proposed to be accomplished by requesting that the Planning Commission "Conditionally" approve the revised application (as a non - project application), subject to the understanding that a boundary line adjustment would need to occur to separate the 100 -foot buffer from the balance of the property. Additionally, some buildings will need to be removed from the property to accommodate the proposed boundary line adjustment. The timing of the building removal to accomplish the boundary line adjustment can be discussed with staff /Planning Commission, as to the timing of their removal. Attached are a revised "Proposed Future Land Use Map" and "Proposed Zoning Map" which show the requested revision to the application.

We have reviewed the documents and have the following comments. SHORELANDS/ENVIRONMENTAL ASSISTANCE This reviewer could find no information in the checklist documentation that addresses the fact that this development is adjacent to a creek with flooding problems. It would seem prudent to address this issue before the rezone is approved. In addition, a wetland determination or delineation by a qualified wetland professional should be completed for the sites. Wide Hollow Creek makes a hard turn (less than 90 degrees in this location) where it is likely that water will be forced onto the properties proposed for rezone. In addition, the buffers from the development on the south side of the creek are too small to accommodate flood flows so it is also highly likely that flood flows will be directed onto these parcels. The mapped soils on site both may have hydric soil inclusions which require on -site evaluation. (Yakima County Area, Washington Comprehensive Hydric Soils List, 03/06/95) Ecology wetland staff would be happy to assist the City in a reconnaissance of the properties to determine whether wetlands are present or not, and whether a formal wetland delineation is needed. Please call Cathy Reed at (509) 575 -2616 for assistance. If you have any questions or would like to respond to these Shorelands /Environmental Assistance comments, please contact Cathy Reed at (509) 575 -2616 or email at cache ri no. r eed( recy.la gpv DE rya Mr. Peters s ",, June 16, 2015 Page 2 (m 0 4 4 4 L '. " .. TOXICS CLEAN -UP Based upon the historical agricultural use of this land, there is a possibility the soil contains residual concentrations of pesticides. Ecology recommends that the soils be sampled and analyzed for lead and arsenic, and for organochlorine pesticides. If these contaminants are found at concentrations above the Model_ Toxics Control Act cleanup levels Ecology recommends that potential buyers be notified of their occurrence.

I would have expressed my opinion on the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment CPA #005 -15 TM Rentals to the planning staff. When I received the agenda via e-mail, it was not clear to me that this meeting would welcome comments from the public as it is not written on the agenda as such. I feel other concerned citizens in this area were unaware of this also and thereby did not attend the meeting and make their opinions known. I have two concerns regarding this meeting. First, I feel we were given short notice that this meeting was taking place (6 days). This makes it difficult to make plans to attend especially those with work commitments. Second, the agenda did not make it clear that public comments would be allowed at this Special Study Session. This needs to be clearly stated so that all citizens can participate in these meetings. I have written a letter regarding this Amendment and I hope my opinions will be acknowledged by the board members. This neighborhood does not want any changes in this residential area. There are areas available in the city for businesses as I see them as I drive around town. They are not all properties owned by TM Rentals. I feel a skewed perception of the need for this zoning change may have been presented to the board. Thank you for your attention to my concerns. I hope my concerns will be addressed and all citizens of Yakima will be given a clear understanding of the procedures in these meetings in a timely manner that will allow those who are interested to attend.

My husband and I purchased our home which was in need of some tic two years ago. What we loved about our home from the beginning was the opportunity for us to increase its value because of other older, well cared for homes in the neighborhood, as well as the low amount of traffic on our street. Currently it is rare to see two vehicles going opposite directions meet each other and take up the whole road. This allows my family and others to enjoy walks and bike rides without always looking over our shoulders or worrying about being run off the road. It is so nice to see our neighbors walk their dogs, ride bikes, or let our children play in our front yard. West Logan Ave with turns sharply to become S. 38th Ave is a very narrow road and it would be ill suited for the type of traffic a business office would bring to the area. A business office would also seem quite out of place among so many homes and leave many of my neighbors with an undesirable view. This may sound odd because on an arial map CPA #005 -15 is very close to the Creekside Business Complex. However due to trees, a stream, as well as the fact that all traffic to and from the Creekside Business Complex enters and exits onto 40th Ave, our neighborhood is unaffected by its presents both in terms of traffic and visibility. It also concerns me that there are many empty spots at the Creekside Business Complex and that the same would happen if new buildings were placed on Logan Ave. Empty office space is a sure way for the property value of nearby homes to crumble. While talking to my neighbors, I have found that many are just as bother by the rezoning as myself. Many of the homes closest to the proposed rezoning are lovely older homes that help bring the value of our neighborhood up, and I shudder to think what an office would do to their value and in turn the value and desirability of my own home. There is currently a lovely home and barn located on one of the plots and I am sure it would sell handsomely in the event the owner needs to sell it. Changing the land into office space will not benefit our neighborhood, but rather increase traffic, lower property values and be unsightly. Finally I ask that the current zoning of the 3 parcels of Single Family Residential be left alone and not changed to Professional Business. Sincerely Olivia Hart E To: City of Yakima Planning Department Regarding: CPA #005 -15 From: Olivia Hart 1301 S. 38th Ave Yakima WA 98902 Mr. Jeff Peters & City of Yakima Planning Department I am writing to you regarding CPA #005 -15, which would rezone a plot of land around the corner from my home. My husband and I purchased our home which was in need of some tic two years ago. What we loved about our home from the beginning was the opportunity for us to increase its value because of other older, well cared for homes in the neighborhood, as well as the low amount of traffic on our street. Currently it is rare to see two vehicles going opposite directions meet each other and take up the whole road. This allows my family and others to enjoy walks and bike rides without always looking over our shoulders or worrying about being run off the road.

Logan Avenue Parcel Nos. 18132743492 18132743493 18132743494 Request: Reclassify parcels from Low Density Residential to Professional Office To Whom It May Concern, As we did in 2002 we are writing to you in strong opposition to TM Rentals application to amend the Future Land Use Map for the City of Yakima to reclassify parcels of property located on W. Logan Avenue from Low Density Residential to Professional Office. Also, as we earlier stated, is it our understanding that the applicant's ultimate goal to have these three parcels and possibly one other rezoned to Central Business District Support. We own the residence and property located at 3805 W. Logan. Our home which is located on the north side of W. Logan Avenue, is separated by only two residential lots from the applicant's property at 3911 W. Logan Avenue. According to the staff report prepared by Dan Valoff in this matter, the Future Land Use Map (Map III -3) designates all four of the subject properties on W. Logan Avenue as Low Density Residential. It is our belief that the parcels should retain this designation. We believe that any proposed changes to a property classification should take into consideration such criteria as existing residential density and neighborhood characteristics. DOC, INDEX The lots that TM Rentals proposes to reclassify not only front on S. 40th Avenue, but two of the four front on W. Logan Avenue. The proposed amendment would adversely impact residents of W. Logan. If TM Rentals application is granted, the effect will be to make half of Logan Avenue on the south side between S. 38th and S. 40th Avenues into a professional office and those of us who reside on West Logan Avenue will of course have to deal with the impact. Such a change will undoubtedly lead to more traffic, increased traffic speed, etc. We have lived in our home for about 40 years and can testify to the character of the neighborhood. As was true in 2002, W. Logan Avenue between S. 38th and S. 40th Avenues is entirely made up of single family dwellings. We are again providing photographs taken in July by Bob Kennedy to give to the Hearing Board a clearer idea of the character of W. Logan Avenue where TM Rentals wants to introduce a commercial flavor. This proposed change would adversely affect the character of the neighborhood and adversely affect the property values of those of us living on the street. There never has been anything of a commercial nature of the type that TM Rentals proposes on W. Logan Avenue and there is nothing that TM Rentals proposes to construct that is not already available nearby on W. Nob Hill Boulevard. Additionally, the professional office buildings that TM Rentals wishes to introduce are available just off of S. 40th Avenue south of Wide Hollow Creek. Finally we do not believe that the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is consistent with the original plan designating the subject properties Low Density Residential. The application filed by TM Rentals to reclassify these three properties from Low Density Residential to Professional Office is simply not compatible with the characteristics of W. Logan Avenue and should therefore be denied. Very truly yours, ROBERT KENNEDY 4' f '„ iti Read, understood and approved this � 06/09/2015 3, / iiiii Rooerw Watt Barbara T. Kennedy 3901 W.

I have lived at 3608 Logan Lane for 6 years. This neighborhood is unique in Yakima with large lots, a rural feel in the city and extensive mature trees and abundant wildlife. This residential area has been in existence since the 1960's. Living along Wide Hollow Creek is a pleasure! Residents love this neighborhood. Visitors and friends to my home always comment on the relaxed feel of the neighborhood. This proposed change would forever adversely change the character of the neighborhood. Presently, all commercial and business development is south of Wide Hollow Creek. The creek and vegetation along the creek provide a natural buffer between the current Creekside Business Park and the residential areas along W. Logan Avenue and South 38th Avenue. Residential and business /commercial development need to remain separated. This proposal would mix business property on the south side of W. Logan Avenue and single - family residences on the north side of W. Logan Avenue. This "mix" would not only decrease property values of the homes around the proposed reclassification /rezone, but also decrease the aesthetic appeal to this unique residential area. I believe that there continue to be available spaces /buildings for lease in the current Creekside Business Park to meet the needs of the community. The building housing the former America West Bank has been vacant for three years, the building that housed Cascade /Summit Physical Therapy has been vacant for one year and there is only one tenant in another building that is two- thirds vacant and has never been leased in the four years since it was built. I live directly across the creek from this building. There are also several smaller office spaces available in current buildings for lease. Four lots are also undeveloped in the Business Park. The area north of Washington Avenue and west of 40th Avenue that has Creekside West restaurant and the new Cornerstone Medical Clinic has many acres available for business development. There is a large open space on W. Nob Hill Boulevard next to the Auto Zone on South 38th Avenue that could be developed into Professional Office space. D1, DE J'wued! HFWW'Yvm�' Also, while driving around, I have noticed many other signs indicating office space for lease around the central /west area of the city. I feel that there is adequate Professional Office space available in the City of Yakima to meet the needs of future growth. A Reclassification /Rezone would greatly increase traffic along W. Logan Avenue and South 38th Avenue. I drive on both these roads daily. The current road is narrow and can barely handle two cars traveling in opposite directions. South 38th Avenue would be just as affected with increased traffic as W. Logan Avenue as motorists would take South 38th Avenue out of any business /office area to avoid the traffic light at 40th Avenue and W. Nob Hill Boulevard. This is a safety concern for all residents, but especially those residents with small children or children riding bikes. Environmentally, this area is abundant with trees and wildlife and needs to be protected and maintained to ensure the quality of life here in our neighborhood and in the City of Yakima. Green spaces increase the quality of life for all Yakima residents. The Environmental Checklist underreported the abundant wildlife in the area surrounding Wide Hollow Creek. I have seen quail, herons, ducks, geese and numerous songbirds. Red - tailed hawks make their nest in a tall tree by the creek and raise two young hawks every year. It is a joy to watch them soar, dive for food and bring it to the babies in the nest. They would lose hunting ground if this proposed Reclassification /Rezone would take place and would leave the area to nest where hunting grounds were more available. Beavers, river otters, opossums, muskrats and raccoons live in the Wide Hollow Creek area. If the grassy pastureland around Wide Hollow Creek is gone and becomes professional office space with buildings and large parking lots, the wildlife will disappear. Finally, I do not believe that the proposed Reclassification /Rezone fits with the character of this neighborhood of single- family homes. I believe that there is sufficient professional /business office space available on W. Nob Hill Boulevard and in other central /west areas of our city. I urge the Planning Department to continue to keep the business development to the south of Wide Hollow Creek and maintain a distinct separation of residential space from business /office space. This application should be denied. � ) 1 KK / Sincerely, ryp Randy Shannon 3608 Logan Lane 04 Yakima, WA 98902 a; ° ,/'.-,,,. I "? N * ii J,0 {, , ,. 0, c.

This is proven by the fact that there has been very little change in ownership of the properties in the time we've resided here. When we turn off 40th Avenue onto W.

Plath Avenue Yakima, WA 98902 it OP, r EX Pfbe This letter refers to: TM Rentals /CPA #005 -15, RZ#005 -15, SEPA #011 -15 June 6, 2015 To: City of Yakima Planning Division From: Jennifer Mabry, (resident /property owner) @ 1323 S. 38`" Ave, Yakima, WA 98902 It was four years ago that I bought my house that is adjacent to the property associated with the above file names. I still remember the first time I drove into the area and thought, "this is it, my little country in the city"! It's been a blessing to have my "forever" home surrounded by wildlife, pasture, a creek, trees, and neighbors, who like me, enjoy the peacefulness this neighborhood provides. Anytime someone comes to my home, they always comment how wonderful and special this location is. I love the fact that I can play with my dog, nieces, & nephews in my front yard, and not have to worry about traffic and /or safety concerns. Not only does it break my heart to think this rare landscape will /could be forever changed; but I'm concerned about the surrounding environment and how traffic will change the feeling and safety of our neighborhood. I truly believe if the application is approved, the sense of tranquility and security in this neighborhood provides will be changed forever. As a single income home, I have spent 10 of the 15 years of my teaching career saving and working extra jobs to afford to buy a home in a nice and safe neighborhood like this one. I am truly nervous and concerned how this change will affect my property value. I have put so much time, energy, and money into my home and landscaping, because home ownership is important to me. The owner who is proposing the rezoning of his property has stated he wants to build business /office buildings on this site. This site is literally across a one -lane street from residential homes and just 300ft from my property. I ask how this rezoning can NOT change the feel, safety, and value of our homes. Part IV- Comprehensive Plan Narrative, section A (second paragraph), the owner states that; "A professional business park has been constructed just south of the subject property. The business park is nearly built -out and only four undeveloped lots remain. That business park has been developed by the owners of the subject property." So, my question is, why develop a residential lot, when there are still business zone lots available? Also, I have walked around that business park and there are number of office spaces available for rent /use. I don't understand the need to create a new development. I address this because in paragraph four, of the same section, states that: "May appear that adequate professional business opportunities exist in central /west Yakima. However, there is really only a single location (southwest corner of south 48t Ave. /west Nob Hill Blvd) where professional businesses can locate." aT f YlYI i � ) : ift-- 241f):,V,I0 I ask that this statement be investigated and determined if this is a true statement. I believe this owner owns multiple properties and some that are not in a residential neighborhood and would not require a rezoning application. Part IV- Comprehensive Plan Narrative: section B (Proponent Comment) the owner states: "Expected users of the property would be real estate, insurance, engineering, legal, medical and other similar business uses specifically permitted in the Professional Business zoning district, which are compatible with residential uses." But, then the owner addresses the question "What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as site screening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc. ?" He states: No specific mitigation is proposed as part of the rezone request, as it is a non - project application. However, appropriate mitigation is built into the zoning code through regular site plan approval, which would be required as part of any development plan for the property. Which I understand to mean that there is no plan what this development will look like and how it would be accessed, and most importantly how it would affect the neighbors' privacy, safety, and property value. Why as homeowners would we agree to this rezone when we have no idea what this project will look like? Honestly, I would never agree to a business zone property, because what it will do to the value of my home and feeling of my neighborhood. Please remember this is an established neighborhood at least since the 1950's, not just empty lots. Next, in the Environmental Checklist Section of the application the owner is asked to answer questions on the Environmental Elements (section B), which most are unanswered or unknown. Also, the owner replies to most of the questions: "Not applicable, there is no project proposed on the property, none needed, or none proposed." This concerns me greatly. This piece of property is located just north of Wide Hollow Creek, I worry how this beautiful environment will be affected. Just to show how incomplete the application is; question #5a & c in the Environmental Checklist Section, has not been answered correctly. Only 3 items were checked in question 5a, when at least 4 other boxes should have been checked. Question Sc asks if this site is part of a migration route, the owner states "No ", but the truth is "Yes "; geese, ducks and hawks migrate and nest in this area. Also, in this section, question #7, Environmental Health, there are a number of questions asked and again the owner replies with "not applicable, there is no project proposed ". In question 8d asks "Will any structures be demolished ?" The owner states: "No structures will be demolished as part of this application. However, it is likely that as this proposal progresses, overtime, some or all of the existing structures will be demolished and replaced with new buildings." This owners has plans for this property and is not sharing those plans and is being secretive and deceiving how the rezoning will affect this neighborhood. I ask again that this section "Environs at.. DE i a s tr,„ Su' Health" been examined thoroughly by the board, because the answers are vague and not accurate. According, to the owner "there is no project" associated with this application, so why is he wanting to rezone? This is my neighborhood and I want to preserve its' serenity and beauty. I plead with the board to reject this applicants' request for rezoning.

Plath Ave Yakima WA 98902 Email: schendm @me.com Subject: Comments on Land Use Application Comments on Land Use Application: CPA #005 -15 Message: City of Yakima Planning Department 129 N. 2nd Street Yakima, WA 98901 June 7, 2015 RE: TM Rentals Application No.: CPA #005 -15, RZ #005 -15, SEPA #011 -15 To whom It May Concern: As a resident and homeowner, we am writing to you in strong opposition to TM Rentals application to change the Future Land Use Map designation for the specified properties from Low Density Residential to Professional Office and to rezone from Single - Family Residential (R -1) to Professional Business (B -1). My husband and I have lived at 3704 Plath Avenue for 23 years. The neighborhood is unique in Yakima with large lots, a rural feel in the city and extensive mature trees and abundant wildlife. This residential area has been in existence since the 1950a €TMs. Residents love this neighborhood. This is proven by the fact that there has been very little change in ownership of the properties in the time wea €TMve resided here. When we turn off 40th Avenue onto W. Logan Avenue, it is a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of city life as homes are spread further apart and there is grassy areas with mature trees. Visitors and friends to our home always comment on the relaxed feel of the neighborhood. This proposed change would forever adversely change the character of the neighborhood. Presently, all commercial and business development is south of Wide Hollow Creek. The creek and vegetation along the creek provide a natural buffer between the current Creekside Business Park and the residential areas along W. Logan Avenue and South 38th Avenue. Residential and business /commercial development need to remain separated. This proposal would mix business property on the south side of W. Logan Avenue and single - family residences on the north side of W. 1 D.....: C. Logan Avenue. This a €oemixa €. would not only decrease property . sues of the homes around the proposed reclassification /rezone, but also decrease the aesthetic appeal to this unique residential area. We believe that there continue to be available spaces /buildings for lease in the current Creekside Business Park to meet the needs of the community. The building housing the former America West Bank has been vacant for three years, the building that housed Cascade /Summit Physical Therapy has been vacant for one year and there is only one tenant in another building that is two - thirds vacant and has never been leased in the four years since it was built. There are also several smaller office spaces available in current buildings for lease. Four lots are also undeveloped in the Business Park. The area north of Washington Avenue and west of 40th Avenue that has Creekside West restaurant and the new Cornerstone Medical Clinic has many acres available for business development. There is a large open space on W. Nob Hill Boulevard next to the Auto Zone on South 38th Avenue that could be developed into Professional Office space. Also, while driving around, we have noticed many ! other signs indicating office space for lease around the central /west area of the city. We feel that the is adequate Professional Office space available in the City of Yakima. A Reclassification /Rezone would greatly increase traffic along W. Logan Avenue and South 38th Avenue. The current road is narrow and can barely handle two cars traveling in opposite directions. South 38th Avenue would be just as affected with increased traffic as W. Logan Avenue as motorists would take South 38th Avenue out of any business /office area to avoid the traffic light at 40th Avenue and W. Nob Hill Boulevard. This is a safety concern for all residents, but especially those residents with small children or children riding bikes. Environmentally, this area is abundant with trees and wildlife and needs to be protected and maintained to ensure the quality of life here in our neighborhood and in the City of Yakima. Green spaces increase the quality of life for all Yakima residents. The Environmental Checklist underreported the abundant wildlife in the area surrounding Wide Hollow Creek. We have seen quail, herons, ducks, geese and numerous songbirds. Red - tailed hawks make their nest in a tall tree by the creek and raise two young hawks every year. It is a joy to watch them soar, dive for food and bring it to the babies in the nest. They would lose hunting ground if this proposed Reclassification /Rezone would take place and would leave the area to nest where hunting grounds were more available. Beavers, otters, opossums and raccoons live in the Wide Hollow Creek area. If the grassy pastureland around Wide Hollow Creek is gone and becomes professional office space with buildings and large parkin! g lots, the wildlife will disappear. Finally, we do not believe that the proposed Reclassification /Rezone fits with the character of this neighborhood of single - family homes. We believe that there is sufficient professional /business office space available on W. Nob Hill Boulevard and in other central /west areas of our city. We urge the Planning Department to continue to keep the business development to the south of Wide Hollow Creek and maintain a distinct separation of residential space from business /office space. This application should be denied. Sincerely, Thomas and Mary Schend 3704 W. Plath Avenue Yakima, WA 98902 2 �YS Phi 11 Ex Maxey, Lisa From: City of Yakima Web [web @ci.yakima.wa.us] Sent: Sunday, June 07, 2015 11:59 AM To: Planning PostCard Subject: Comments on Land Use Application: CPA #005 -15 Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Completed Comments on Land Use Application Comments on Land Use Application: CPA #005 -15 Name: Jennifer Mabry Address: 1323 S. 38th Ave., WA 98902 Email: jennjmabry @gmail.com Subject: Comments on Land Use Application Comments on Land Use Application: CPA #005 -15 Message: This letter refers to: TM Rentals /CPA #005 -15, RZ #005 -15, SEPA #011 -15 June 6, 2015 To: City of Yakima Planning Division From: Jennifer Mabry, (resident /property owner) @ 1323 S. 38th Ave, Yakima, WA 98902 It was four years ago that I bought my house that is adjacent to the property associated with the above file names. I still remember the first time I drove into the area and thought, a €cethis is it, my little country in the citya €❑! Ita €TMs been a blessing to have my a €ceforevera €❑ home surrounded by wildlife, pasture, a creek, trees, and neighbors, who like me, enjoy the peacefulness this neighborhood provides. Anytime someone comes to my home, they always comment how wonderful and special this location is. I love the fact that I can play with my dog, nieces, & nephews in my front yard, and not have to worry about traffic and /or safety concerns. Not only does it break my heart to think this rare landscape will /could be forever changed; but Ia €TMm concerned about the surrounding environment and how traffic will change the feeling and safety of our neighborhood. I truly believe if the application is approved, the sense of tranquility and security in this neighborhood provid! es will be changed forever. As a single income home, I have spent 10 of the 15 years of my teaching career saving and working extra jobs to afford to buy a home in a nice and safe neighborhood like this one. I am truly nervous and concerned how this change will affect my property value. I have put so much time, energy, and money into my home and landscaping, because home ownership is important to me. The owner who is proposing the rezoning of his property has stated he wants to build business /office buildings on this site. This site is literally across a one -lane street from residential homes and just 300ft from my property. I ask how this rezoning can NOT change the feel, safety, and value of our homes. Part IV- Comprehensive Plan Narrative, section A (second paragraph), the owner states that; a €ceA professional business park has been constructed just south of the subject property. The business park is nearly built -out and only four undeveloped lots remain. That businessme . has been 1 �d DEX developed by the owners of the subject property.a €❑ So, my question is, why develop a residential lot, when there are still business zone lots available? Also, I have walked around that business park and there are number of office spaces available for rent /use. I dons €TMt understand the need to create a new development. I address this because in paragraph four, of the same section, states that: a €ceMay appear that adequate professional business opportunities exist in central /west Yakima. However, there is really only a single location (southwest corner of south 48th Ave. /west Nob Hill Blvd) where professional businesses can locate.a €❑ I ask that this statement be investigated and determined if this is a true statement. I believe this owner owns multiple properties and some that are not in a residential neighborhood and would not require a rezoning application. Part IV- Comprehensive Plan Narrative: section B (Proponent Comment) the owner states: a €ceExpected users of the property would be real estate, insurance, engineering, legal, medical and other similar business uses specifically permitted in the Professional Business zoning district, which are compatible with residential uses.a €❑ But, then the owner addresses the question a €ceWhat mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as site screening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc. ?a €❑ He states: No specific mitigation is proposed as part of the rezone request, as it is a non - project application. However, appropriate mitigation is built into the zoning code through regular site plan approval, which would be required as part of any development flan for the property. Which I understand to mean that there is no plan what this development will look like and how it would be accessed, and most importantly how it would affect the neighborsa €TM privacy, safety, and property value. Why as homeowners would we agree to this rezone when we have no idea what this project will look like? Honestly, I would never agree to a business zone property, because what it will do to the value of my home and feeling of my neighborhood. Please remember this is an established neighborhood at least since the 1950a €TMs, not just empty lots. Next, in the Environmental Checklist Section of the application the owner is asked to answer questions on the Environmental Elements (section B), which most are unanswered or unknown. Also, the owner replies to most of the questions: a €ceNot applicable, there is no project proposed on the property, none needed, or none proposed.a €❑ This concerns me greatly. This piece of property is located just north of Wide Hollow Creek, I worry how this beautiful environment will be affected. Just to show how incomplete the application is; question #5a & c in the Environmental Checklist Section, has not been answered correctly. Only 3 items were checked in question 5a, when at least 4 other boxes should have been checked. Question 5c asks if this site is part of a migration route, the owner states a €oeNoa €❑, but the truth is a €ceYesa €❑; geese, ducks and hawks migrate and nest in this area. Also, in this section, question #7, Environmental Health, there are a number of questions asked and ! again the owner replies with a €cenot applicable, there is no project proposeda €❑. In question 8d asks a €ceWill any structures be demolished ?a €❑ The owner states: a €ceNo structures will be demolished as part of this application. However, it is likely that as this proposal progresses, overtime, some or all of the existing structures will be demolished and replaced with new buildings.a €❑ This owners has plans for this property and is not sharing those plans and is being secretive and deceiving how the rezoning will affect this neighborhood. I ask again that this section a €ceEnvironmental Healthy €❑ been examined thoroughly by the board, because the answers are vague and not accurate. According, to the owner a €cethere is no projecta €❑ associated with this application, so why is he wanting to rezone? This is my neighborhood and I want to preserve itsy €TM serenity and beauty. I plead with the board to reject this applicantsa €TM request for rezoning. Sincerely, Jennifer Mabry Dr r N n 2 a- U " f � "ga cal, 1,1 u, 1 DEVELOPMENT .

An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. MAXMONAIANIk INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS.

If so, how? Yes, circumstances have changed since the original and last relative comprehensive plan were considered. Specifically, a significant amount of property that has been designated Professional Business in the central /west portion of the City of Yakima has been developed over the last 2 -5 years. No new property of any significant size has been added to this land use designation since this recent development has occurred. Of the three larger properties that were designated Professional Business, in the central /west Yakima Area, two have been fully developed. Those properties are at North 62 Avenue and Summitview and at South 72 " Avenue /Tieton Drive, just north of Yakima Federal Savings and Loan. That has left a small node of Professional Business designated property at the South 48 Avenue and West Nob Hill Boulevard, which has three available lots, as the only real opportunities for new professional businesses to locate in a strictly professional environment. Based on these conditions, a shortage of property designated Professional Business exists in the central /west Yakima Area. To maintain Yakima's economic edge in attracting and retaining businesses, additional properties need to be designated Professional Business. The subject site is located at the southeast corner of South 40 Avenue and West Logan Avenue. Changes that have occurred within this area have been substantial over the years. Specifically, a professional business park has been constructed just south of the subject property. The business park is nearly built -out and only four undeveloped lots remain. That business park has been developed by the owner's of the subject property. The property within the business park is currently designated Industrial by the Comprehensive Plan and zoned General Commercial. This zoning district permits a wider range of land uses than does the Professional Business designation. Because of this situation, it is the proponent's desire to retain those lots for uses that are slightly more intense in nature and generally compatible with existing uses located within the business park. By doing this, the proponent can provide an area for strictly professional business opportunities which would be compatible with the neighboring land uses to the north, west and east. In addition to the business park to the south, the proponent's have a 75 year lease on property that lies at the northwest corner of West Washington Avenue and South 40 Avenue with the City of Yakima. This property was recently improved and necessary infrastructure for future development has been installed. This property is designated Industrial by the Comprehensive Plan and zoned Airport Support (AS). The purpose of the AS zoning district is to accommodate airport and aircraft related activities within the airport property. Because of this restriction in the zoning, the property is limited to airport related businesses and services. Thus, professional businesses may locate at this ,µw site, only if they are airport and /or aircraft related. °� lir DOC d er INDEX r , 1 .�� I 'I Of The point of the two above paragraphs is to indicate that it may appear that adequate professional business opportunities exist in central /west Yakima. However, there is really only a single location (southwest corner of South 48 Avenue /West Nob Hill Boulevard) where professional businesses can locate. This is a change in circumstances that has occurred because other professional business properties have been fully built -out and no new land has been added to the Professional Business land use designation to replace them. B. Does voui proposal better implement applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map or text? If so, how? Yes, this proposal better implements applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map because it meets the following goals and policies to establish the Professional Business designation at this site: Goal 3.6 — Provide opportunities for office development to promote economic growth and to meet the need for office space in the Yakima Urban Area. Policy 3.6.1 — Encourage clustering of office development in concentrated areas. Policy 3.6.2 — Use offices as transitional uses between commercial and residential areas. Policy 3.6.3 — Promote small -scale office development that will not have significant adverse impacts on adjacent neighborhoods. Policy 3.6.4 — Encourage placing parking lots behind buildings, or along the side of the buildings. Policy 3.6.6 — Encourage the development of a high quality, campus style office park through Commercial Planned Development (Commercial PD) or when associated with a master plan development and /or Regional Commercial designation. Proponent Comment — This project specifically meets the above goal and policies because the proposed change in land use would add to the existing cluster of professional business development which lies to the south, would provide a transition between the General Commercial uses on the south and the residential uses on the north and promotes small scale office development that would not have significant impacts on adjacent neighborhoods. Expected users of the property would be real estate, insurance, engineering, legal, medical and other similar business uses specifically permitted in the Professional Business (B -1) zoning district, which are compatible with residential uses. Additionally, this specific area was recognized in the Comprehensive Plan on Page III -9 under Commercial and Office Areas. The following statement comes from that section of the Comprehensive Plan: ECEIVED DO C. APR 2 9 2015- .�. . ,, PLANNING ;� '� ad.lG b! "Two areas in the City have seen significant growth in office development in the last ten years. The area between Powerhouse Road and Englewood Avenue along N. 40 Avenue has seen tremendous development of new offices and business parks. Another new growth area for office development is on S. 40` Avenue and north of Washington Avenue where high quality office parks were built within the last five years." For all the reasons stated above, this proposal better implements the comprehensive plan because it meets the goals and policies for professional business development, is located in an area of existing professional businesses and is recognized as an area of high quality professional business development. C. Does your proposal correct an obvious mapping error? If so, how? No, it does not appear that an obvious mapping error occurred. This is a voluntary request on behalf of the property owner, which complies with the comprehensive plan update process, provides for a deficiency in the plan and promotes economic development. D. Does your proposal address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Man? if so, what is the deficiency? Yes, the deficiency is that due to the low supply of property designated Professional Business. Because of this, it is necessary to request a change in the land use designation of certain properties so that an adequate supply of professional business property exists. Since the Comprehensive Plan is only periodically updated, annual amendments must be requested to fulfill the deficiencies until the next major update to the Plan occurs. A successful comprehensive land use change and rezone will help alleviate the deficiency by permitting businesses a new and larger area to locate. E. Is the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment coordinated with, and take into consideration, the comprehensive plans adopted by Yakima County or, cities with which the City of Yakima has, in part, common borders or related regional issues as may be required by RCW 36.7OA.100? If so, how? Yes, this proposal is consistent with RCW 36.70A.100. This application is part of the annual comprehensive plan update for the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. The City of Yakima coordinates this update with Yakima County for consistency between the jurisdictions. Em eivrip INM X 4. F. Is the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment consistent with the Growth Management Act (GM A), RCW Ch.3.7OA, and the Yakima County - wide Planning Policy (CWPP)? If so, how? Yes, this proposal is consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Yakima County -wide Planning Policy because the proposal directs urban growth to an existing urban area (within City Limits first) and encourages infill in an area where all urban level services and facilities are currently provided. The proposal reduces sprawl and is served with an adequate transportation system. This proposal also encourages economic development in the urban area and provides an opportunity for professional businesses to locate within an existing professional business cluster. G. Have the cumulative impacts of all comprehensive plan amendments been considered in the evaluation of the proposed amendment? If so, how? The cumulative impacts of all comprehensive plan amendments are determined by the jurisdiction processing the proposed amendment. In this situation, the impact is small because the proposal is the addition of approximately 7.5 acres to an existing professional business park that is approximately 30 acres in size. The cumulative impact of a prject this small should be minimal. H. For Future Land Use Map changes, please provide descriptive information regarding the property, including the status of existing land use, access to sewer and water. as well as the availability of public facilities such as schools. fire and police services. The proposal consists of three parcels that total approximately 7.5 acres. All three properties have frontage onto West Logan Avenue. The property generally consists of two residential units and pasture. The Wide Hollow Creek is the south boundary of all three properties. Domestic water is available along the north property line of all three properties, within the right -of -way of West Logan Avenue. Sanitary sewer is located along the east property line of the most easterly parcel (181327- 43493). Since the parcels are contiguous to one another, sanitary sewer can be extended to all three properties. The property is located in an area where all urban services and facilities are located, or can be extended to the property, as needed. RECEIVED DOC.

How is the subject property suitable for uses permitted under the proposed zoning" The subject property is suitable for uses permitted under the proposed zoning change because the property is generally fat, fronts on a local access street and has immediate access to South 40 Avenue from West Logan Avenue. Additionally, one of the subject properties abuts South 40 Avenue, which provides clear visibility to the property. Access to domestic water and sanitary sewer is also available to these properties, as water is located within the right -of -way of West Logan Avenue and sanitary sewer is located along the east property line of the most easterly property subject to this request. The south property line of all three properties is the Wide Hollow Creek. A portion of all three properties lies within the 100 -year floodplain of Wide Hollow Creek. However, there continues to be a substantial amount of developable property outside the floodplain boundary on each property. Compliance with the Critical Areas Ordinance, once development is proposed, will ensure that the property continues to be suitable for professional business development. Land uses permitted with the Professional Business zoning district (B -1) are generally businesses that operate during normal business hours. These businesses are professional in nature such as be real estate, insurance, engineering, legal, medical and other similar business uses. These businesses could easily be accommodated on the property and are compatible with residential uses. The Professional Business zoning district has historically been used as a buffer between more intensive uses. In this situation, the Professional Business zoning district would provide a buffer between the more intensive General Commercial zoning district which lies to the south and the neighboring residential uses to the south. Due to the large size of the property, professional offices can be designed so as to have the least amount of impact on surrounding residences as possible. This will ensure compatibility with neighboring land uses. What is the status of the existing land use? The status of the existing land use is that two of the parcels contain existing single - family structures on large lots that are generally used as pasture. The third parcel (middle parcel) is vacant and is also used as pasture. FVForiv l ei 9 t'm E i l,l f OF i'4 P �u v ° e_k J. How is the rezone request in compliance with and /or how does the request deviate from the Yakima Urban Area comprehensive Plan? The rezone request is in compliance with the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan because the proposal meets the following goal and policies, as they apply to the Professional Office land use designation: Goal 3.6 — Provide opportunities for office development to promote economic growth and to meet the need for office space in the Yakima Urban Area. Policy 3.6.1 — Encourage clustering of office development in concentrated areas. olc.f. — Use offices as transitional uses between commercial and residential areas. Policy 3.6.3 — Promote small -scale office development that will not have significant adverse impacts on adjacent neighborhoods. Policy 3.6.4 — Encourage placing parking lots behind buildings, or along the side of the buildings. Policy 3.6.6 — Encourage the development of a high quality, campus style office park through Commercial Planned Development (Commercial PD) or when associated with a master plan development and /or Regional Commercial designation. Proponent Comment — This project specifically meets the above goal and policies because the proposed change in land use would add to the existing cluster of professional business development which lies to the south, would provide a transition between the General Commercial uses on the south and the residential uses on the north and promotes small scale office development that would not have significant impacts on adjacent neighborhoods. Expected users of the property would be real estate, insurance, engineering, legal, medical and other similar business uses specifically permitted in the Professional Business (B -1) zoning district, which are compatible with residential uses. Additionally, this specific area was recognized in the Comprehensive Plan on Page I11 -9 under Commercial and Office Areas. The following statement comes from that section of the Comprehensive Plan: Two areas in the City have seen significant growth in office development in the last ten years. The area between Powerhouse Road and Englewood A venue along N. 4C Avenue has seen tremendous development of new offices and business parks. Another new growth area for. office development is on S. we Avenue and north of Washington Avenue where high quality office parks were built within the last five years." For all the reasons stated above, this proposal is in compliance with the comprehensive plan because it meets the goals and policies for professional business development, is ' 1� A 9 PR p „ # uk YAKIMA 10 rti A T,IPI r , located in an area of existing professional businesses and is recognized as an area of high quality professional business development. K. Are there adequate public facilities, such as traffic capacity, sewer services, otable water stornuwatcr drauna e schools the and r olive services and other public services and infrastructure existing on the and around the subject property? Yes, there are adequate public facilities to serve this proposal.. The property fronts on West Logan Avenue, with easy access to South 40 Avenue (an arterial roadway) and is served with all other infrastructure including domestic water, sanitary sewer, electricity, telephone and any other needed utilities. Additionally, the site is protected by the Yakima Police and Fire Departments. Are the existing public facilities capable of supporting the most intensive use of the new (requested) zone? If not, what mitigating measures are going to be implemented to address any short falls in public services that may exist? Yes, the existing public facilities are capable of supporting the most intensive use of the new zone. The property is served with full urban services and facilities, or services can be easily extended to the property, as necessary. If any short fall exists in the delivery of facilities, necessary mitigation will take place by the developer to ensure adequate public facilities are in place at his /her /their expense, as required through land use concurrency. L. How is the ro used zone chan,_e coin atible with the existin I nei!hborin! uses? The proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring uses which lie to the south, which are generally professional business in nature and compatible with uses permitted in the Professional Business zoning district. Properties to the north and east are residential in nature and contain single - family residences. Due to the extent of the floodplain along the east property line, development will be severely limited. A buffer will need to be retained which will create substantial distance between the existing uses to the east and any proposed development on the property. Properties to the north, across West Logan Avenue would notice the most change and are likely to see the greatest impacts. However, the permitted uses in the proposed zoning district are limited in nature and impacts are nominal. Because the proposed uses are professional businesses, they are usually well maintained, landscaped and have limited hours of operation. The businesses are usually open when neighboring resident's are at work. This helps ensure compatibility between the different uses and the concept of professional businesses adjacent to residential zoning districts is encourage by the , "omprehensive Plan. A :y review of professional offices located on South 40 Avenue, just north of this s is an E cur V OF i�it .i i example of how professional office space and residential uses co -exist with one another and promote compatibility between the uses. Residential properties which lie west of the subject site should not be affected by this proposal, as the uses are separated by South 40 Avenue, an urban arterial, which provides adequate buffering. What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as sitescreening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc.? No specific mitigation is proposed as part of the rezone request, as it is a non - project application. However, appropriate mitigation is built into the zoning code through regular site plan approval, which would be required as part of any development plan for the property. M. What is the public need for the proposed change? The public need arises from the fact that there is a demonstrated need for additional Professional Business (B -1) zoned property in the Yakima Urban Area. As indicated in the written narrative associated with the attached Comprehensive Land Use change request, the supply of B -1 property has been significantly developed over the last several years and a limited supply currently exists. This proposal will increase the availability of B -1 property in an area where professional businesses have already located and continue to locate. This proposal makes excellent use of existing infrastructure in the area and expands an existing cluster of existing professional uses. To meet the demands of the professional business community of Yakima, new land needs to be added to the current inventory of B -1 zoned property, so businesses have adequate choices and opportunities to locate within the city limits. Approval of this application would permit existing businesses to move to this site or possibly attract new businesses to this area. The public expects successful businesses to remain and locate in Yakima. This rezone meets that public need and perspective. SOC.

The directors unanimously voted to have a letter sent to the City of Yakima firmly opposing this re- zoning on behalf of our 118 owners. This letter expresses that opposition. One was submitted June 12, 2015; this letter is an update. Our concerns are: 1. The two parcels (0.45 acres) owned by the Chelminar Association are surrounded and enveloped by single family homes, including those in our complex. Zoning of B -1 will introduce a higher non - conforming use of the property into an otherwise quiet residential neighborhood. 2. Not only are the two parcels surrounded by single family residences, the posted speed limit on Chestnut Avenue is 20 mph. A sign on Chestnut at 48 Avenue and Chestnut prohibits trucks on Chestnut between 48 Avenue and 40 Avenue. As well, Chestnut is posted as a bicycle route. Any type of business venture at 46 Avenue and Chestnut would generate additional traffic on one or both of those city streets. There is no direct access to a Collector Arterial at this location. Yet there is considerable daily pedestrian traffic on Chestnut, including children walking to school. All of these factors combine to assist in maintaining the residential nature of the neighborhood. This zoning change would have a negative and adverse effect on the neighborhood. 3. If zoned B -1, it also sets a precedent to rezone other parcels within the neighborhood; other potential businesses would significantly increase traffic on Chestnut Avenue beyond its two -lane capacity, endangering the residertlipj ne , h ..cod. ' � 0 C F 2 9 2015' Submitted: all OF VAMiVIA PLAY r , ;` IV, D4240 .. -- r[tge L Jppustuun to kA I- tttuvo -1J 4. Sufficient vacant office space is currently available within a one -mile radius of the proposed zoning change. This space is available at: O Four spaces for rent/least at 48 & Tieton (the plaza with Jackson's Bar); • Two spaces for rent on the NE corner of 49 and Tieton; • Three spaces for rent within Glenwood Square; • One space for rent in the plaza on the NW corner of 56 and Tieton; • Four spaces for rent at West Park Plaza (40 & Summitview); • Two spaces for rent at Chalet Place (56 & Summitview); ▪ One space for lease at 5808 -C Summitview; • One space for rent at Summit Plaza (48 & Summitview); • Two spaces for rent at 51S and Tieton; • Seven spaces for rent at 40 and Nob Hill; • One space at 72n and Chestnut; and • One space at 48 and Nob Hill. These only represent those closest to 46 and Chestnut. Many other spaces are available for rent or lease to the west along 72n Avenue, along Tieton Drive, and along Nob Hill Boulevard. In addition, if approved, the other Plan amendments will allow significant development of B -1 opportunities at 64 and Tieton and 51s and Summitview. We conclude that the need to convert a parcel of less than one -half acre within a neighborhood to business zoning is not urgent and will not significantly add to the total of available B -1 zoned areas. Finally, we note that placing B -1 within the larger neighborhood zoned R -1 is contrary to some of the City's Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. Specifically: • Goal 3.6: Provide opportunities for office development to promote growth. • Policy 3.6.1: Encourage clustering of office development in concentrated areas. Chelminar zoning of B -1 will not be in an area of clustered office development. • Policy 3.6.2: Use offices as transitional uses between commercial and residential areas. Chelminar zoning of B -1 is only near [within] a residential neighborhood with no commercial property. • Policy 3.6.3: Promote small -scale office development that will not have significant adverse impacts on adjacent neighborhoods. Chelminar zoning ofB -1 will have significant traffic and safety impacts to the neighborhood where it is situated. • Policy 3.6.6: Encourage the development of high quality, campus style office park.... Chelminar zoning of B -1 will not be part of a high quality, campus style office park In light of concerns about increased traffic, disruption to the neighborhood, safety of pedestrian and bicycle traffic, we urge that this property remain zoned as R -1.

Other Site Characteristics: a. Existing Buildings/ Infrastructure: i. Construction: The subject site currently contains an existing 2,426 sq. ft. community center /fraternal organization, and an approximate 584 sq. ft. accessory building. The site is completely paved and has site screening on the south and west property lines. However, the site does not comply with the provisions of YMC Ch. 15.06, as the site is not landscaped, nor does it have a striped parking area. ii. Streets: The subject site is currently accessed by W. Chestnut Ave. and S. 48th Avenues classified as Local Access Streets which requires a total of 50 ft. of right - of -way with curb, gutter, and sidewalk in accordance with YMC Title 12. W. Chestnut Ave. and S. 48 Avenues are both not fully improved lacking gutter, and sidewalk. iii. Water & Sewer: The subject property is located within the Service Area for the Nob Hill Water Association who has indicated that the subject building is currently served. Sewer Service for the subject building is provided by the City of Yakima through an 8 -inch sewer main running north and south along the subject properties west property line. iv.

Environmental Review (SEPA) was completed for this application, and a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued on June 25, 2015. No appeals were filed. C. Comments Received Nine comments from surrounding property owners were received during the 20 -day public comment period in opposition to this application. The areas of concern are as follows: Decreased home values; Chestnut Ave. is not adequate to handle the increase in traffic; the area surrounding is primarily single - family homes which is not compatible with B -1 zoning; streets are unsafe for children walking to and from school; the rezone to B -1 zoning will introduce a non - conforming use into the neighborhood; Chestnut is posted as a bicycle route; B -1 at this location sets a precedent for other properties to change to B -1 zoning; and there is sufficient office space available within a one -mile radius of the proposed zoning change. D. Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) Approval Criteria. The 2006 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map designates this area as Low Density Residential. In accordance with the provisions of the Yakima Municipal 2015 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA #008 -15 DEX, 2 Code, the following criteria must be considered in the review of any proposed amendment to the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. YMC § 16.10.040 (1): To alter the Future Land Use Map or other plan policy map, or effect a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment, the proposed amendment must do one or more of the following: (a) Address circumstances that have changed since the last time the relevant Comprehensive Plan or text was considered: Staff Response: The existing meeting hall building was permitted and constructed in 1955 by Yakima County. The subject properties were annexed into the City of Yakima in 1964. The building has been primarily used as a meeting hall, as well as a church from 1955 to present. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation and zoning district for the subject properties were last amended by the City of Yakima's 2006 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan 2025 (YUACP) which was adopted by the City of Yakima in December of 2006. The applicant has indicated that the change in circumstance which this application addresses is that many areas west of 40 Ave. that were previously designated Professional Office and zoned B -1 have since been developed leaving fewer B -1 properties available for purchase and development. In support of this statement and at the time of this report, the City of Yakima presently has a total of 28.13 acres of undeveloped B -1 property, of which the total number of acres may actually be less as several of the existing vacant B -1 zoned properties have been developed. (b) Better implement applicable Comprehensive Plan policies than the current relevant Comprehensive Plan map or text: Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan: Staff Response: The City of Yakima's Urban Area Comprehensive Plan defines the current Future Land Use Designation of the subject property as: Low Density Residential described as "primarily free standing single- family residences. Residential density is less than 7.0 dwelling units per acre. This is the lowest possible residential density that can efficiently support public services. The Professional Office Future Land Use Designation which is the designation sought with this application is defined as "a wide range of office uses, such as financial institutions, real estate, insurance, engineering, legal, medical offices and other similar business uses, specifically permitted by the applicable zoning district ". While neither Comprehensive Plan designation truly describe or captures the land use of a meeting hall, by allowing the proposed Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment request to Professional Office, and rezone to Professional Business a proposed professional office development would better implement the Comprehensive Plan policies for the following reasons: 1. Due to the buildings 1955 construction and architectural character as a meeting hall, redevelopment of the subject building into anything but an office building would most likely not meet Goal 3.3.1 which is to preserve the character of the surrounding neighborhood such as historical character, architecture, natural features and layout as the building would most likely need to be architecturally modified; 2015 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA #008 -15 "" ` " " 3 2. By allowing the building to transition to a new use, the subject property would be subject to the City of Yakima's current development standards which could include installation of curb, gutter, sidewalk, street lighting, and installation of landscaping within the subject properties parking lot. Thus improving the neighborhood and meeting Policy 3.4.1, "encourage preventative maintenance and appropriate reinvestment in older and declining neighborhoods. Improve the infrastructure including, but not limited to: park improvements, sidewalks, alleys, street maintenance, street lighting, trees and other landscaping within the right -of- way'; 3. As an office building, the existing site would meet Goal 3.6 "provide opportunities for office development to promote economic growth and to meet the need for office space in the Yakima Urban Area", and Policy 3.6.3 promote small -scale office development that will not have a significant adverse impacts on adjacent neighborhoods.'; 4. A proposed office use at this location would meet Goal 3.8: "make commercial areas a desirable place to shop and work" by providing for redevelopment of an existing building into a small office complex. 5. Due to the fact that the subject building and current use were established in 1955, prior to the majority of the surrounding neighborhood which was constructed in 1957 thru the early mid 1960's, the existing and proposed development could be viewed as meeting Policy 3.8.1 which states "Commercial uses and developments should be designed to be compatible with surroundings, especially to avoid encroachments into residential areas" as the surrounding neighborhood, residential zoning, and development could be seen as encroaching upon the previous established use and restricting any new use but a meeting hall. 6. Based upon comments in the record regarding noise from the existing use, and noise complaints in the City of Yakima address file, the existing use would not be compatible with Policy 3.8.2 "avoid placing land uses that create excessive noise, unless the noise level can be mitigated, in locations that are close to residences or other noise - sensitive land uses. However, development of professional offices would meet the above mentioned policy as office uses generally do not create excessive noise as all activity is generally contained inside the building, and the hours of operation of most professional office businesses do not coincide with the times when surrounding residences are occupied by their owners. 7. The existing building and use meet Policy 3.8.5 which states: "Ensure compatibility between commercial structures and adjoining residential uses. Require commercial structures to use building scales, roof style and building materials similar to, or compatible with, the adjoining residential structures" as the existing building was built prior to the majority of the surrounding structures in the abutting neighborhood. 8. Policy 3.8.6: "Commercial uses adjacent to residential areas should use effective landscape buffers with living plant vegetation such as evergreen trees, bushes, open space or other design controls to minimize noise, glare and other impacts associated with commercial land uses to ensure that their location will not adversely affect the 2015 Comprehensive Plan Amendment INDEX CPA #008 -15 r 4 residential areas" is also met as the subject property contains fencing and landscaping along both property lines where subject property abuts surrounding residential properties with a arborvitae screen along the south property line, and a six foot high wooden fence along the west property line; and 9. Policy 3.8.7: "Parking lots for commercial land uses that are adjacent to residential housing should be screened from the view of residences using vegetation, fences, berms or other screening devices" is met for the previously described reasons. (c) Correct an obvious mapping error: Staff Response: While a mapping error did not occur with regard to the subject property, at some point in time during either the City of Yakima initiated 1986 area wide Comprehensive Plan and Rezone process, or the City's 2006 Comprehensive Plan update, the subject properties Comprehensive Plan Map designation, and zoning should have been amended to reflect the subject properties non - residential use. (d) Address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan: Staff Response: This request does not address an identified deficiency in the city's Comprehensive Plan. (e) Is the proposed CPA coordinated with, and take into consideration, the Comprehensive Plans adopted by Yakima County or cities with which the City of Yakima has, in part, common borders or related regional issues as may be required by RCW 36.70A.100? Staff Response: This proposal is consistent with RCW 36.70A.100. This application is part of the annual CPA cycle for the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan which the City of Yakima coordinates with adjacent jurisdictions. (f) Proposed CPAs must be consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA), Ch. 36.70A. RCW, and the Yakima County Wide Planning Policies (CWPP). Staff Response: This proposal is consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Yakima Countywide Planning Policies because the proposal directs urban growth to an existing urban area (within City Limits first) and encourages infill in the area where all urban level services and facilities can be provided. The proposal reduces sprawl and is served with adequate transportation system. (g) Cumulative impacts of all CPAs, including those approved since the original adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, shall be considered in the evaluation of any proposed amendments. Staff Response: Provided that all CPA applications requesting Professional Office and Professional Business are approved, there would be a total of 15.97 acres of new B -1 property created within the City of Yakima. (h) For Future Land Use Map changes, please provide descriptive information regarding the property, including the status of existing land use, access to sewer and water, as well as the availability of public facilities such as schools, fire and police services. Staff Response: The subject property consists of .42 acres of land which is presently occupied by an existing 2,426 sq. ft. community center /meeting hall /fraternal organization (legal non - conforming use), and an approximate 584 sq. ft. accessory building. The subject property is served by all utilities, and the public streets of S. 46 and Chestnut Avenues as detailed in the above findings. The site is also served by City 2015 Comprehensive Plan Amendment O CPA #008 -15 INDEX . 4-13 5 of Yakima Police and Fire Departments. E. REZONE APPROVAL CRITERIA In accordance with the provisions of the Yakima Municipal Code (YMC) § 15.23.030, recommendations to approve or deny proposed rezones shall include the following considerations: (1) Testimony at public hearing. A Notice of Application was mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject properties on May 29, 2015, wherein the public was invited to submit written and /or oral comments (summarized above) at the public hearing on this proposed amendment. Therefore, after consideration of any public comments received during the course of the hearing it may be appropriate for the Planning Commission to modify the staff's recommendation. (2) The suitability of property in question for uses permitted under the proposed zoning. Provided the City of Yakima Planning Commission approves the underlying Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment for Professional Business, the subject property would be appropriately suited for the use of a professional office, or other use allowed within the B -1 zoning district for the following reasons: 1. The property contains an existing commercial building which was not designed to accommodate residential living, and should be adaptively reused. The building has defined driveway approaches to 46t and Chestnut Avenues, paved off - street parking, and site screening to protect the surrounding residential uses; 2. Although this application is not a project specific rezone application, the subject site is appropriately sized to accommodate a change in use to a professional office building or other permitted use allowed in the B -1 zoning district, as there is ample room onsite to restripe the existing parking lot to accommodate the twelve required off - street parking stalls, and ten percent landscaping for a professional office; 3. While the subject property presently does not have curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street lighting along its street frontage, possibly making it unsafe for children to walk to and from school; A redevelopment of the property would require that the site come into compliance with the City of Yakima's development code, thus requiring the property owner to address and /or correct any areas of non - compliance (which could include installation of curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street lighting); 4. The total traffic generated from a professional office building of this size during an average work day (calculated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual 9 Edition) would be 27 trips. In comparison to the 19 trips which would be generated if the two single - family properties each contained a single - family home. This is a difference of eight vehicle trips generated per workday. Also, with regard to weekend traffic there is only one vehicle trip generated per day for an office use as opposed to 9 trips for a single family home. 5. All abutting streets have sufficient capacity to carry the existing and proposed increase in traffic generated by a change in use to B -1 zoning; 2015 Comprehensive Plan Amendment DOC. CPA #008 -15 INDEX 6. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Map amendment and accompanying rezone applications will not introduce a non - conforming use into the neighborhood if approved, due to the fact that any new use allowed within the B -1 zoning district would be considered a permitted legal conforming use, which would meet all applicable zoning ordinance standards; and 7. The proposed rezone from R -1 to B -1 zoning does not set a precedent for abutting and surrounding properties to change to a commercial zoning district due to the fact that any proposed application would have to meet the City of Yakima's current development regulations. Based upon the City's development regulations for off - street parking, and an average house size of 1,500 sq. ft., a single - family home owner wishing to convert their residence to an office would have to provide a minimum of eight off- street paved parking stalls (1,500 / 200 (office parking standard) = 7.5). Based upon the average lot width of 75 feet in the surrounding neighborhood, the required setback from the front property line of 20 feet, the eight foot width and 18 foot length standard of a required parking stall, all of the abutting and surrounding residences would have insufficient area to accommodate the required parking stalls, drive lanes, and the ten percent landscaping necessary to meets the City of Yakima's development standards. (3) The recommendations from interested agencies and departments. No agencies or departments have registered any opposition to this rezone. (4) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan defines the Professional Office Future Land Use designation as "a wide range of office uses, such as financial institutions, real estate, insurance, engineering, legal, medical offices and other similar business uses, specifically permitted by the applicable zoning district ". This proposal meets the previous mentioned definition and is fully supported by the goals and policies stated above under section (D)(b) "Better implement applicable Comprehensive Plan policies than the current relevant Comprehensive Plan map or text." (5) The adequacy of public facilities, such as roads, sewer, water, and other required public services. This property is currently served by all public utilities necessary to support development of Professional Business, and all abutting streets have sufficient carrying capacity to accommodate any future development. (6) The compatibility of the proposed zone change and associated uses with neighboring land uses. The applicant indicates that there will be little change in the type of use that is occurring and permitted on this site, as the proposed B -1 zoning districts characteristics, and site and building characteristics limit the types of non - residential land uses that could occur. The change in zoning increases the flexibility of the type of use the building can be redeveloped into, and does not limit it to non - profit organizations. The applicant further indicates that by allowing the proposed rezone the building could be prevented from falling into disrepair if it is no longer usable by its current owner, and there are no other entities that are willing or able to maintain it and keep it in a productive use due to zoning restrictions. 2015 Comprehensive Plan Amendment `': CPA #008-15 (6a) What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as sitescreening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc.? No mitigation is proposed as part of this non - project rezone request. Any mitigation could be required as part of regular site plan approval at the time the subject property is redeveloped. However, the applicant indicates that the "characteristics of the proposed use that likely have the most mitigating effects are its size and construction and the characteristically low intensity of the permitted B -1 land uses should provide for on -going use of the existing building in a manner with the least adverse effect on the neighborhood. The slope in this area provides for some separation, especially from neighboring properties to the north and northeast. The width of the streets and a low retaining wall around the outside of the parking lot adds to the separation in these directions. There is an arborvitae screen on the adjoining residential property line to the south and the outbuilding on the site screens the site from the adjoining residence to the southwest, which is setback sufficiently and oriented away from the next street. Six foot high wooden fences partially screen the nearest residential structure, a two story building to the west set back a few feet from the property line. The condominium development to the north is higher in elevation with a substantial vegetative screen that appears to be effective screening. (7) The public need for the proposed change. The applicant indicates that there is "an apparent need for more B -1 zoning" west of 40 Ave. because most of the existing zoned areas are developed, much of it after the 2006 adoption of the current Comprehensive Plan, indicating a change in circumstances. There are also B -1 zoned areas around the downtown core, but they are far enough away that they would not provide for the need in this part of the City. The real public need however, is allowing for the adaptive reuse of an existing building in an R -1 zone that reduces the risk of it falling into disrepair because of a lack of usefulness, while maintaining the type of low impact use oriented to the neighborhood." F. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The amendment is appropriate for the area. 2. No adverse impacts have been identified by the approval of this rezone. 3. The requested rezone better supports the existing land use. 4. The property is currently served by all necessary public utilities capable of supporting future Professional Business. IV. RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends APPROVAL of this amendment request from Low Density Residential to Professional Office to accommodate a concurrent rezone from Single - Family Residential (R -1) to Professional Business (B -1).

Chestnut Ave. Yakima, WA 98908 PROJECT: Chelminar Association Inc. CPA #008 -15 46 204S. 46 Ave., Yakima, WA _ mM Comments: We do have some concerns in regards to the request for change of land use and rezoning of the Chelminar parcels. Will the business be landscaped fit in with the existing neighborhood, and not depend on the adjacent neighbors' present landscaping? Would there be some requirements/limitations concerning all signage and that it be compatible with the residential atmosphere? If the present structure is used, does it meet all present building codes prior to change in land use and rezone? If the present building is demolished after rezone, would the owner, or, if sold, the new owners have to comply with agreements and regulations set at this time if the project is approved? B -1 zoning will bring more daily traffic to Chestnut, 46 Ave, and Walnut, which may necessitate additional stop signs at Walnut and 46 Unfortunately, with cars hurrying to school, everyone seems to think they have the right of way in this area. We request to be a party of record concerning CPA #008 -15.

INDEX ASSOCIATION OF UNIT OWNERS OF SUMMITVIEW COUNTRY ")' . 101 North 48th Avenue Yakima, WA 98908,/ ',, 6/6" 6' ' June 12, 2015 t/ Re: Rezoning Request CPA #008 -15 Jeff Peters, Senior Planner City of Yakima 129 N Second St., 2n floor Yakima, WA 98901 Re: Application to Change the Future Land Use Map and Zoning for the Chelminar Association at 46th Avenue and Chestnut, CPA #008 -15 Dear Mr. Peters: I serve as President of the Board of Directors of a condominium complex known as Summitview Country, a not - for - profit Corporation with 74 individually -owned residential units located immediately north of the above property that is being considered for rezoning from Residential (R -1) to Business (B -1). At our regular monthly board meeting, the directors unanimously voted to have a letter sent to the City of Yakima firmly opposing this re- zoning on behalf of our 118 owners. This letter expresses that opposition. Some of our concerns are: 1. The two parcels owned by the Chelminar Association are surrounded and enveloped by single family homes, including those in our complex. Zoning of B -1 will introduce a non - conforming use of the property into an otherwise quiet residential neighborhood. 2. Not only are the two parcels surrounded by single family residences, the posted speed limit on Chestnut Avenue is 20 mph. A sign on Chestnut at 48 Avenue and Chestnut prohibits trucks on Chestnut between 48 Avenue and 40 Avenue. As well, Chestnut is posted as a bicycle route. Finally, on any given day there is considerable pedestrian traffic on Chestnut taking advantage of the quiet, residential area, including children walking to school and others to obtain physical exercise. All of these factors combine to assist in maintaining the residential nature of the neighborhood. Yet, any type of business venture at 46 Avenue and Chestnut would generate additional traffic on one or both of those city streets. This would have a negative and unwanted effect on the neighborhood. 3. If zoned B -1, it sets a precedent to rezone other parcels within the neighborhood; other potential businesses would significantly increase traffic on Chestnut Avenue beyond its two -lane capacity, endangering the residential neighborhood. Ex spa � Page 2, Opposition to CPA#uu8 -15 4. Sufficient office space is currently available within a one -mile radius of the proposed zoning change. This space is available at: • Two spaces for rent/least at 48 & Tieton (the plaza with Jackson's Bar); • One space for rent on the NE comer of 49 and Tieton; • Three spaces for rent within Glenwood Square; • One space for rent in the plaza on the NW corner of 56 and Tieton; • Two spaces for rent at West Park Plaza (40 & Summitview); • One space for rent at Chalet Place (56 & Summitview); • One space for lease at 5808 -C Summitview; • One space for rent at Summit Plaza (48 & Summitview. These only represent those closest to 46 and Chestnut. Many other spaces are available for rent or lease to the west along 72 Avenue, along Tieton Drive, and along Nob Hill Boulevard. We conclude that the need to convert parcels within a neighborhood to business zoning is not urgent and should not proceed. In light of the concerns about increased traffic, disruption to our neighborhood, safety of pedestrian and bicycle traffic, we urge that the property remain zoned as R -1. Thank you for your consideration of our concerns. Sincerely, °y . 7 / , Nancy A.

Chestnut (204 S. 46th Avenue), I have a serious concern about the possibility of changing the zoning on these parcels from Single- family Residential (R -1) to Professional Business (B -1). The surrounding area is all residential consisting of single family homes. Rezoning to allow a business to be built at that corner would have a negative impact on the neighborhood by increasing car traffic on what are quiet streets often used by walkers, joggers, and bicyclists. /> I respectfully request that Land Use Application CPA #008 -15 be denied.

These two parcels are surrounded by single family residences. Changing the zoning from residential to business in the midst of single family homes with children playing, people walking, cars restricted to 20 mph along Chestnut makes this inconsistent with the needs of the residents. The rezone, and placement of a business at this location would result in traffic Toads that are inconsistent with the land use both north and south of Chestnut between 48th and 46th avenues. i 1 # G\ Maxey, Lisa From: City of Yakima Web [web @ci.yakima.wa.us] Sent: Monday, June 08, 2015 4:30 PM To: Planning PostCard Subject: Comments on Land Use Application: CPA #008 -15 Comments on Land Use Application Comments on Land Use Application: CPA #008 -15 Name: John R Crimin Address: 101 N 48th Ave 13B Email: 1oLi r .:@ m sn w cQm . Subject: Comments on Land Use Application Comments on Land Use Application: CPA #008 -15 Message: This property is adjacent to single family dwellings on all sides and is across the street from 75 senior only condos. It is not an appropriate business location. There are no other businesses within several city blocks. I experienced first hand complaints from neighbors years ago when playing music for a wedding reception at that location. Also while employed as a Yakima police officer, I was aware of complaints of various natures at that location. The existing building does not appear to be adaptable to single family residency without a great deal of reconstruction. Rezoning would open the way for other properties to apply. Should the City decide to rezone, it should be very strict in applying standards that any business should be complimentary to the surrounding neighborhood. I can't think of many that would.

But it should stay residential and the someone should check how a rental hall ever got approval in a residential area in the first place. The City needs to enforce the zoning it has not change zoning to inappropriate uses in a residential I area. There is no reason to change this area. There is not a business even close to this parcel. Also if there was to be an approval to Business zoning they should be responsible for updating the corner of 48th and Chestnut as it is a terrible intersection currently with heavy trucks turning west on to Chestnut. 1 Maxey, Lisa ll....

An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply ". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS Complete this checklist for non - project proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). For non - project actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as " proposal," " proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.

SUPPLEMENT SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (To be completed by the Space Reserved For applicant.) (DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING FOR PROJECT ACTIONS) Agenc 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 and how it would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. 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? Since this is a continuance of the use of an existing commercial building, no significant changes or increases in any of these are expected. Any future construction activities could result in dust emissions on a short term basis. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: Dust control measures are required of new development. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? The effect on plants, animals and fish would be minimal since the site is almost completely devoid of vegetation, it is entirely in an urbanized area and there are no nearby water bodies. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: None. 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? The size of the site and the building would probably not support a land use that has significant demand for energy and natural resources, it should not be significantly different than that now being used and no more than typical of an urban area. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy ... a u c are: p gy and natural resources are: None. 4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect nv _ .... sensitive iv ar y environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands? The proposal would have no impact on any of these areas since other than prime farmland, none of them occur on or near the site. Prime farmland at this site is not eligible for governmental protection under the Growth Management Act because of its location in an urban growth area. APP Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: None INDEX ., Revised 02/2013 '" 4m"" ^ � �"""" Page 15 D. SUPPLEMENT SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (To be completed by the Space Reserved For appIkant.) (DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING FOR PROJECT ACTIONS) Agency Comments 5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? With the plan amendment as proposed and based on the supporting factors from the application, the proposed zoning and plan designation change is compatible with the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan and similar to or compatible with surrounding land uses. There are no effected shorelines. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: Land uses allowed by the B-1 zone are the most compatible with residential use. The existing building and size of the site would preclude the larger scale land uses that have the highest potential for conflict. 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? Public service and utility use and traffic generated by permitted and typical land uses of the B-1 zone is not substantial and not significantly greater than now occurring. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: None. 7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. Not aware of any conflicts.

The request is to change the plan designation to Professional Office and the zoning to B -1 (Professional Business). This would allow the use of the building to be expanded to other commercial land uses not permitted by R -1 zoning but that would be of no greater intensity than that which the building is being used. B -1 zoning precludes the more intensive commercial uses allowed in the other commercial zones and the size of the property, the existing building, the fully developed surrounding neighborhood and the location all reduce the potential for the more intensive permitted uses of the B -1 zone. A. Does your proposal address circumstances that have changed since the last time the relevant comprehensive plan map or text was considered? If so, how? Vacant lands west of 40 Avenue that were designated Professional Office and zoned B -1 at the time of current plan adoption have been developed, leaving fewer B -1 zoned lands available. B. Does your proposal better implement applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map or text? If so, how? The proposal better implements the following applicable comprehensive plan policies because the existing commercial building on the property has a better chance to continue rather than falling into disrepair with more flexibility in allowable use than under the current designation and zoning. Applicable Comprehensive Plan policies are as follows: Goal 3.3: Preserve Existing Neighborhoods Policy 3.3.1: Preserve the character of neighborhoods such as historical character, architecture, natural features and layout. Goal 3.4: Restore old neighborhoods and revitalize declining neighborhoods Policy 3.4.1: Encourage preventive maintenance and appropriate reinvestment in older and declining neighborhoods. Improve the infrastructure including, but not limited to: park improvements, sidewalks, alleys, street maintenance, street lighting, trees and other landscaping within the right -of -way. Although it is an older neighborhood, it may not be declining to the extent being referred to by Goal 3.4. Nevertheless, the building is existing, so it is part of the neighborhood. It is architecturally consistent with the surrounding area and comparable in scale. Allowing flexibility MOE in its use rather than restricting it to those that would be limited to non - profit organizations may help encourage its maintenance and any reinvestment that may be appropriate in keeping it viable. Goal 3.6: Provide opportunities for office development to promote economic growth and to meet the need for office space in the Yakima Urban Area. Policy 3.6.3: Promote small -scale office development that will not have significant adverse impacts on adjacent neighborhoods. The currently proposed use is not as an office building. However, to the extent that it were to be converted to such use in the future due to the B -1 zoning, it would be consistent with this goal and policy. Goal 3.8: Make commercial areas a desirable place to shop and work Policy 3.8.1: Commercial uses and developments should be designed to be compatible with surrounding land uses, especially to avoid encroachment into residential areas. Policy 3.8.2: Avoid placing land uses that create excessive noise, unless the noise level can be mitigated, in locations that are close to residences or other noise - sensitive land uses. Policy 3.8.5: Ensure compatibility between commercial structures and adjoining residential uses. Require commercial structures to use building scale, roof style and building materials similar to, or compatible with, the adjoining residential structures. Policy 3.8.6: Commercial uses adjacent to residential areas should use effective landscape buffers with living plant vegetation such as evergreen trees, bushes, open space or other design controls to minimize noise, glare and other impacts associated with commercial land use to ensure that their location will not adversely affect the residential areas. Policy 3.8.7: Parking lots for commercial land uses that are adjacent to residential housing should be screened from the view of residents using vegetation, fences, berms or other screening devices. This is an existing building, rather than new development, but it generally conforms to these policies even though it may not meet them to the extent that would be required for new development. Since it already encroaches into a residential area, it should continue to be generally compatible with it. The proposed use and most of the permitted B -1 land uses do not create excessive noise. The existing building is generally consistent with adjoining residential structures in terms of building scale, roof style and building materials. Vegetative plantings and fences are around most of the adjoining property lines. The parking area is entirely on -site with distinct approaches, there is no backing out into the streets from the parking lot as is common iii many older buildings, including some in the general vicinity. The slope of the site and low pfl 40 Doc. 010l N 44:4 ale retaining walls around the boundaries of the parking lot where they front on the streets provide additional separation and partial screening of the parking area. C. Does your proposal correct an obvious mapping error? If so, what is the error? We are not asserting a mapping error. However, the plan designation and zoning of the site did not recognize an existing non - residential building. D. Does your proposal address an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan? Is so, what is the deficiency? None identified. E. Is the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment coordinated with and take into consideration, the comprehensive plans adopted by Yakima County or cities with which the City of Yakima has, in part, common borders or related regional issues as may be required by RCW 36.70A.100? If so, how? The proposed amendment would not affect the County or other cities due to its location well inside of the City limits. F. Is the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA), RCW Ch. 36.70A, and the Yakima County -Wide Planning Policy (CWPP)? If so, how? We did not identify any inconsistencies with the Growth Management Act or County -Wide Planning Policies. G. Have the cumulative impacts of all comprehensive plan amendments been considered in the evaluation of the proposed amendment? If so, how? The contribution of this proposal to the cumulative effects of other comprehensive plan amendments should not be significant for the following reasons: 1. It does not remove housing or land available for residential development from the LDR land use category. 2. It represents a small increase in the amount of land designated Professional Office. There appears to be a need to designate more land for that purpose in the part of the urban area west of 40 Avenue. 3. It is an existing land use, is reasonably compatible given its architecture, scale and adequate off -street parking. H. For Future Land Use changes please provide descriptive information regarding the property, including the status of existing land use, access to sewer and water, as well as the availability of public facilities such as schools, fire and police services. N °P , The property is less than one -half acre (0.46 acre) fully developed with an existing commercial building owned by the non - profit Chelminar Association as a "grotto" called Gardner Hall. It falls under the Zoning Ordinance category of "Community Center, Meeting Halls, Fraternal Organizations" which is one of a very few non - residential land uses that are permitted in the R -1 zone. The building is used by the association for its own meetings and events and rented out to others for receptions, gatherings and social events. The site has defined approaches to 46 and Chestnut Avenues and a paved parking area that could accommodate at least 40 vehicles meeting the parking dimensional requirements of the zoning ordinance. It would be possible to adapt the building to a new proposed use with few exterior modifications and no need for expansion. It is served by sewer and water service, located in the Yakima School District. Police and fire service is available from the City. ?up I((( 1 ro R.

INDEX Narrative This is an application to change the zoning of 0.42 acre at 204 South 46 Avenue from Single Family Residential (R -1) to Professional Business (B -1). The purpose of the change is to allow the current use of an existing commercial building on the site to be expanded to another commercial land use that does not exceed the intensity level of its current use as a community center. I. How is the subject property suitable for uses permitted under the proposed zoning? The property is a fully developed commercial type building, with defined approaches to 46 and Chestnut Avenues and paved off - street parking that could accommodate at least 40 vehicles consistent with City parking standards. The building can be adapted to a new use with a few exterior modifications. What is the status of existing land use? The existing building is a single story 2,426 square foot building owned by the non - profit Chelminar Association as a "grotto" called Gardner Hall. It falls under the Zoning Ordinance category of "Community Center, Meeting Halls, Fraternal Organizations" which is one of a very limited number of non - residential land uses that are permitted in the R -1 zone. The building is used by the association for its own meetings and events and rented out to others for receptions, gatherings and social events. 5. How is the rezone request in compliance with and /or how does the request deviate from the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan? Although commercial uses are generally discouraged in residential areas, there are some exceptions and they should be designed to be compatible with surrounding land uses. Characteristics of the existing building that are generally consistent with the neighborhood include its size, design, the combination of proposed B -1 zoning, and the size of the site and the building would encourage low intensity use. It would help preserve the character of the existing neighborhood by keeping an existing established building from falling into disrepair because the opportunities for its reuse have become too limited. K. Are there adequate public facilities, such as traffic capacity, sewer services, potable water, stormwater drainage, schools, fire and police services, and other public services and infrastructure existing on and around the subject property? The site is fully developed with an existing building served by City water and sewer service, police and fire services. It is in the Yakima School District, although permitted office commercial uses would not typically have a significant need for or effect on the school system. Access to the site is by existing improved approaches from Chestnut and 46 Avenues. The site slopes to a manhole in the parking lot indicating that storm drainage is accommodated on the site. , 4 ow pr "fir Are the existing public facilities capable of supporting the most intensive use of the new (requested) zone? If not, what mitigating measures are going to be implemented to address any short falls in public services that may exist? Possible land uses that are allowed in the B -1 zone are limited by the building, size of the property and to some extent the location. A variety of professional offices could be allowed in the B -1 zone, and there are some retail and service land uses as well, although some would require Class 2 or 3 review. The availability of sufficient public facilities and services is assumed by the existing R -1 zoning, presence of utility lines in the area and the level of development of this and surrounding properties. The possibility of a more intensive land use would be limited by the size of the existing building and the site and that it can't be expanded outside of the property because the surrounding areas is fully developed. L. How is the proposed zone change compatible with the existing neighborhood uses? There will be little actual change in the type of use that is occurring and permitted on this site, and the proposed B -1 zoning along with the limiting characteristics of the site and the building would limit the types of non - residential land uses that could occur. The change in zoning increases the flexibility of the type of use the building can be put to and does not limit it to non- profit organizations. This could prevent the building from falling into disrepair if it is no longer usable by its current owner and there are no other entities that are willing or able to maintain it and keep it in a productive use due to zoning restrictions. What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as sitescreening, buffering, building design, open space traffic flow alteration, etc? Characteristics of the proposed use that likely have the most mitigating effects are its size and construction and the characteristically low intensity of other permitted B -1 land uses should provide for on -going use of the existing building in a manner with the least adverse effect on the neighborhood. The slope in this area provides for some separation, especially from neighboring properties to the north and northeast. The width of the streets and a low retaining wall around the outside of the parking lot adds to the separation in these directions. There is an arborvitae screen on the adjoining residential property line to the south and the outbuilding on the site screens the site from the adjoining residence to the southwest, which is set back sufficiently and oriented away toward the next street. Six foot high wooden fences partially screen the nearest residential structure, a two -story building to the west set back a few feet from the property line. The condominium development to the north is higher in elevation with a substantial vegetative screen that appears to be effective sitescreening. M. What is the public need for the proposed change? Since the existing use of the site is not residential, rezoning it to B -1 would not actually remove land from low density residential use. If it were being counted, the removal of less than '/2 acre would be minimal. The increase in land area designated for office commercial would like wise be insignificant. 1 40 °m DOC. ,..m. i "l'l'" l; lM" �t i l l l:.lAW'1 l�l Focusing on B -1 zoning located west of 40 Avenue, there is an apparent need for more B -1 zoning because most of the existing zoned areas are developed, much of it after the 2006 adoption of the current comprehensive plan, indicating a change in circumstances. There is also B -1 zoned areas around the downtown core, but they are far enough away that they would not provide for the need in this part of the City. The real public need however, is allowing for the adaptive reuse of an existing building in an R -1 zone that reduces the risk of it falling into disrepair because of a lack of usefulness, while maintaining the type of low impact use oriented to the neighborhood.
