SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The City of Yakima has initiated Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment (CPA), Rezone, and

designation from Low Density Residential to Commercial Mixed Use, and to concurrently rezone from
Suburban Residential (SR) to General Commercial (GC) to allow the operation of a mental health
services clinic adjacent to Camp Hope. After holding a study session on September 11, 2024, and a
public hearing on September 25, 2024, the Yakima Planning Commission recommended modified
approval of the Planning Division's recommendation, limiting the CPA and rezone to the parcel currently
being leased by Comprehensive Healthcare (191329-41410), with the Findings being signed by the chair
on October 9, 2024.
In accordance with YMC 16.10.090, the City Council shall direct Planning staff to prepare legislation to
approve, approve with conditions, or deny each amendment under consideration; and at a subsequent
City Council meeting enact an Ordinance adopting the decision reached at the public hearing. The
complete record was distributed to City Council members at their November 4, 2024 business meeting
and can be found online here: https://www.yakimawa.gov/council/agendas-and-minutes/
ITEM BUDGETED: N/A
STRATEGIC PRIORITY 24-25: A Thriving Yakima
RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff to prepare the appropriate Ordinance for consideration at a
subsequent meeting.
