AGENDA STATEMENT `
ITEM NO. t ,4- A. B. C. D. E. & F
FOR MEETING OF: February 17. 1998
ITEM TITLE: Resolutions Initiating RCW 35.13.182 Annexations
SUBMITTED BY: Glenn J. Valenzuela, Director of Community Economic Development
CONTACT PERSON / TELEPHONE: Bruce Benson, Associate Planner, 575-6042
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Per City Council direction, staff proposes the attached resolutions and submits the
following information:
The 1997 Washington Legislature enacted RCW 35.13.182, which confers on charter
cities such as Yakima the power to annex statutorily defined "islands" of unincorporated
territory. (The text of RCW 35.13.182 appears on the second page of this Agenda Statement.)
The Planning Division identified the following six areas as islands of unincorporated
territory under RCW 35.13.182: (maps and legal descriptions are attached to the proposed
resolutions):
Corpman Lane Fruitvale
North 3rd Street South 40th Avenue/West Viola Avenue
South 18th Avenue Cowiche Canyon
In December 1997, the Planning Division submitted Notices of Intention to annex these
statutorily defined "islands" to the state Boundary Review Board (BRB) for Yakima County.
The 45 day period during which BRB review might have been requested ended on
February 6, 1998 without requests for BRB review of the North 3rd Street, Corpman Lane,
South 18th Avenue, or Fruitvale Annexations. By operation of law, these proposed annexations
are deemed approved by the BRB, and they may no be set for hearing as required by RCW
35.13.182.
The West Valley Fire District requested BRB review of the South 40th AvenueNVest
Viola Annexation. Furthermore, BRB review of the Cowiche Canyon Annexation was requested
separately by a petition of registered voters and by Yakima County. Staff recommends that these
annexations not be set for public hearing before they receive BRB approval.
Staff recommends that the City Council formally adopt resolutions initiating all six RCW
35.13.182 island annexations. For the four which are deemed approved by the BRB, staff
proposes that a public hearing as required by RCW 35.13.182 be set for each on March 17,
1998. For the two which will be reviewed by the BRB, public hearings should not be set until
the BRB approval is received.
