B. C. D. E. & F FOR MEETING OF: February 17. 1998 ITEM TITLE: Resolutions Initiating RCW 35.13.182 Annexations SUBMITTED BY: Glenn J. Vaienzuela, 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 Avenue/West 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. Resolution XX OrdinanceContract _ Other (Specify) Maps.
