For Meeting of: August 15, 2017 ITEM TITLE: Closed record hearing to consider an appeal regarding the Hearing Examiner's decision on a request from Yakima Neighborhood Health Services for a proposal to convert an existing commercial building into a multi -family residential development SUBMITTED BY: Joan Davenport, AICP Community Development Director Joseph Calhoun, Planning Manager (509) 575-6042 SUMMARY EXPLANATION: Before the Council is an appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision approving Yakima Neighborhood Health Services' (YNHS) application to convert an existing commercial building into a multi -family residential development. The Council sits as the appellate body and this appeal review is limited to the evidence submitted to the Hearing Examiner as part of the original decision. No new evidence may be presented or evaluated during this appeal process. It should be pointed out for the record that a letter was received by the City after the official comment period from a person who is not a party of record. That letter was not forwarded to Council and is not to be considered as evidence in this matter. Further, an email was sent to two council members—Mayor Coffey and CouncilmemberAdkison —after the official comment period from a party of record. The email was not sent to the City Planning Department. Those council members were immediately instructed that content of the email and its attachment could not be considered as part of the record or evidence in this matter. Only evidence in the record at the time of the Hearing Examiner's decision may be evaluated as evidence in this matter. The Hearing Examiner's decision is summarized as follows (the full Decision is included in the materials prepared for this hearing which each Council member received). An Application for a multi -family housing development, cafe/deli and public laundromat within the SCC zone was approved subject to a number of conditions. Those conditions included submission of a final site plan and operations plan, improvements to frontage, street and on - street parking areas, submission of a revised parking lot landscape and lighting plan meeting local code provisions, and submission of building plans. YNHS must also construct, pave and stripe the parking lot. YNHS is required to operate the facility in a manner that conforms to the application materials and final operation plan. The Hearing Examiner found that the Class (1) cafe/deli and laundromat are accessory uses to the proposed multi -family dwelling use, primarily serving the tenants although open to the public as well. The Hearing Examiner found that the multi -family dwelling proposal is a use that is generally permitted in the SCC zoning district as a Class 2 use. The Hearing Examiner found that the YNHS proposal constituted a Class 2 use in the SCC and that nothing in the YNHS proposal suggested that the multi -family housing development would undermine the intent of the SCC zoning district. The Hearing Examiner also found that there was no persuasive evidence that significant adverse impacts to adjacent neighborhoods will result from the proposed multifamily residential use, so long as the property improvements and operations plan are effectively implemented. The Hearing Examiner noted the relationship between the project's dwelling units and the requirements of the federal Fair Housing Act. Finally, the Hearing Examiner approved the administrative adjustment decreasing the required number of parking spaces. This approval was based on the findings that the adjustment was consistent with the population of the facility, and was the minimum necessary to meet the design standards for lot coverage and landscaping (including the addition of a fenced outdoor area for the tenants) while still providing enough parking spaces for the building's parking demands. The Hearing Examiner's Decision was appealed on June 7, 2017. Pursuant to YMC 15.16.050, a Notice of Appeal was sent to the applicant, appellant, and parties of record on June 12, 2017. The 30 -day comment period for parties of record to submit written argument or memorandum ended on July 12, 2017. A 15 -day rebuttal period for the appellant to respond to the written argument or memorandum began on July 13, 2017 and ended on July 28, 2017. See Chapter BB for the Appeal Application, Chapter CC for responses and rebuttal, and Chapter H.10 for the Notice of Appeal. Council will have an opportunity to deliberate, in closed session if desired pursuant to RCW 42.30.140(2), after the closed record hearing. The Council must make its decision on the date the hearing is held, including making any modifications to the Hearing Examiner's decision. Council has the following four options with regards to its decision: 1. Affirm and adopt the Hearing Examiner's Decision; 2. Remand the issue back to the Hearing Examiner with instructions; 3. Modify the Hearing Examiner's Decision with written findings and conclusions; or 4. Reverse the Hearing Examiner's Decision with written findings and conclusions.

REMVED 2 2 2017 CITY Of YAKIMA File Nos.: CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 Hearing Examiner Decision I. INTRODUCTION. A. APPLICATION BACKGROUND. • Yakima Neighborhood Health Services (YNHS) has submitted an application for Type 2 Review for the conversion of an existing commercial building into a multi -family residential development with five dwelling units (housing no more than 40 residents), cafe/deli, and laundromat, along with an Administrative Adjustment of the parking standard from 36 parking stalls to 15 stalls. The property is the former home of Roy's Market, a neighborhood grocery store no longer in business. The adjoining properties are residential in nature and regularly have homeless spending the night on porches or yards in the vicinity according to YNHS and others. The proposed use is intended to give a safe, comfortable place for homeless to live where they are not creating a burden on neighborhood residents. YNHS believes that the homeless will benefit directly through a facility that will keep them from freezing in the winter and from having to sleep or live in dangerous situations in the community. Residents of the proposed development would have the benefit of a consistent place to reside and indoor and outdoor amenity space in which to live during the day, away from business, and neighboring homes. The property has been the subject of earlier land use applications submitted by YNHS that have entailed substantial administrative processes and litigation. The current application represents a new set of proposed uses—uses different from those uses addressed in earlier applications. The current project plans for residential occupancy and accessory uses rather than temporary shelter and clinical services. The proposed uses continue to be based on YNHS's "Continuum of Care" approach to address problems associated with homelessness that was the impetus for the earlier applications. The Continuum of Care approach to homelessness offers multiple ports of entry to is stable housing and a full spectrum of services to address an individual's needs according to RECEIVED fY� 2 2 2017 CITY OF YAKI1` A YNHS. The approach focuses on first finding stable housing for residents so that it can then hetp improve their health, increase their income and employment capacity, build their community connections, and ultimately improve their overall satisfaction. The housing first model of service for homeless populations is purported to save taxpayer money and mitigate many of the dangers homeless individuals face by living on the streets. B. HEARING PROCEEDING. Consistent with both a September 21, 2016 settlement agreement between the City of Yakima and YNHS and the provisions of YMC 15.14.020.A, the City determined that the current project would be reviewed under Type (3) review procedures. The Hearing Examiner visited the property prior to the hearing. The Hearing Examiner also conducted a pre -hearing conference with counsel for the City of Yakima and YNHS at the request of Kenneth Harper of Menke Jackson Beyer LLP, who represents the City. The purpose of the conference was to discuss the order of proceedings during the hearing. At the hearing held on May 1, 2017, the applicants were represented by attorney H. Richard Hill of McCullough Hill Leary PS. Mr. Hill submitted a pre - hearing brief on behalf of YNHS. The City of Yakima was represented at the hearing by Mr. Harper and City Planning Manager Joseph Calhoun. Mr. Harper also submitted a pre -hearing brief for the record. No other parties were represented by counsel. At the hearing, Mr. Calhoun presented the staff report and recommendation on the application review. Mr. Hill presented testimony on behalf of YNHS and adduced evidence concerning the • nature and scope of the proposal from several witnesses by direct examination. After the YNHS testimony, numerous comments were provided members of the public in attendance. Comments addressed challenges presented by homelessness both for homeless individuals and for residents and businesses concerned about property values, neighborhood character and business operations. Commenters also described benefits from homeless programs and options for dealing with issues arising out of interactions between homeless individuals and neighborhood residents and businesses. One commenter sought the opportunity to provide additional exhibit materials, and without objection from any other parties, the record was held open until May 8, 2017for those persons in attendance at the hearing to provide additional information. Additional materials were submitted by Benine McDonnell, Earl Hall, and Maud Scott, all of whom attended the hearing. Mr. Hill also submitted additional information in response to the hearing examiner's request concerning YNHS policies for client contributions of income as rent for occupancy of YNHS residential facilities. The record was closed on May 8, 2017. C. SUMMARY OF DECISION.

This review does not include any site development or safety issues, which may _ be discussed at the project level or SEPA review. The review does not address intersection level of service. 9. STAFF REPORT FINDINGS ON SITE DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS. a. Lot Coverage: Lot coverage in the SCC zoning district in accordance with YMC Ch. 15.05 Table 5-1 is limited to 85%. The subject site is currently built at 100% coverage and is therefore non -conforming. The applicant's site plan dated February 17, 2017, identifies that upon completion of site renovation and landscaping the subject property will have 75% lot coverage. b. Structure Setbacks: YMC Ch. 15.05 Table 5-1 identifies that the subject building is required to be setback 30 ft. from the centerline of S. 6th St., 30 ft. from the centerline of E. Walnut St., and 20 ft. from the abutting alley and residential districts. The existing building and applicants' February 17, 2017, site plan meets or exceeds these standards with the exception of the east property line abutting the alley, which is considered legal non -conforming. C. Maximum Building Height: Maximum building height in the SCC zoning district per YMC CH. 15.05 Table 5-1 is restricted to 35 feet in height. As indicated in the applicant's State Environmental Policy Act Checklist, the renovated building will be no greater than its current 24 ft. in height complying with this standard. • Page 6 of 22 YNHS CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 RECEIVED 2 - 2017 CITY OF YAKIMA is d. Access: In accordance with YMC § 15.05.020(H) all new development! a }iave`� a minimum of twenty feet of lot frontage upon a public road or be served by a twenty -foot access easement. The proposed development meets this standard with at least twenty feet of frontage both E. Walnut St. and S. 6th St, and existing access onto S. 6th St. e. Sidewalks: In accordance with YMC § 15.05.020(J), sidewalks are required with new construction if one exists within two -hundred feet of the development on the same side of the street. As sidewalk exists along both streets, the applicant will be required to repair the existing sidewalk in accordance with YMC § 12.05.010 and the requirements of the City Engineer. f. Minimum Lot Size: Although the subject developer is not proposing any subdivision of land, the proposed parcel meets the minimum lot size for the SCC zoning district of 10,000 sq. ft. for non-residential purposes with a lot size of 28,755 sq. ft. There is no minimum lot size for multi -family residential in the SCC zone. Rather, Table 5-2 states "Density may not exceed maximum number of dwelling units permitted per net residential acre." At 0.66 acres, the proposed land use of multi -family residential development: 0 - 7 dwelling units per net residential acre allows for 5 total units as a Class (2) use - 0.66 x 7 = 4.62, rounded up to 5 total units per YMC § 15.05.030. g. Driveway Vision Clearance: All proposed driveways shown on the applicant's February 17, 2017, site plan meet the provisions of YMC § 15.05.040(B). h. Dedication of Street right-of-way: The existing right-of-way g alon both public streets are adequate and no dedication of right-of-way is required. i. Off -Street Parking and Loading: (1) Parking Circulation Plan: The applicant's site plan dated February 17, 2017, shows sufficient detail to meet the provisions of YMC § 15.06.030 (E), and shall be considered the parking circulation plan for this application. Furthermore, the City of Yakima Traffic Engineer and City Engineer reviewed the subject site plan and did not identify any parking circulation issues during the City of Yakima's Development Service Team meeting for this application. (2) Existing Parking: In accordance with YMC 15.06 Table 6-1 Table of Off -Street Parking Standards, the previous grocery store would have been required to have approximately 46 parking spaces based upon a floor area of 13,748 sq. ft., and a requirement to have one parking stall per 300 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The poor condition of the parking lot makes it difficult to determine if the required number of parking stalls were painted upon the lot; however, the lot seems to have sufficient area to accommodate them. (3) Proposed Use Parking: Based upon the uses of multi -family residential development with five dwelling units (2 space per dwelling: (5 dwellings X 2 = 10 • Page of 22 YNHS CL24020-16, ADJ#020-16 INDEX # AAI REGEOV ED f7 2017 CATV OF YAKIMA • Div. spaces)), cafe/deli (1 space per 50 sq. ft. of indoor public floor area: (1,200 sq. 11./50 = 24 spaces)), and laundromat (1 space per 300 sq. ft. of gross floor area: 400 sq. ft. /300 = 1.3 = 2 space), the subject development would be required to provide 36 stalls for off-street parking. j. Additional Parking Considerations: (1) The subject property is presently bordered by adjacent on -street parking on East Walnut and South 6th Streets. The angled parking on South 6th Street can remain. The angled parking on East Walnut must be converted to parallel parking per city comments. Upon approval, the applicant shall submit an application for a street modification permit to the City of Yakima Streets and Operations Division for review and approval; (2) The subject site has two transit stops located on the same block, and the transit center is located within 0.2 mile; and iii. The proposed multi -family housing will provide provisions for bicycle storage. (3) Driveway Locations: The proposed driveways meet the provisions of YMC § 15.06.065 for one-way travel and shall be signed accordingly. (4) Landscaping of Parking Areas: The submitted site plan identifies that the parking lot will be landscaped with trees, shrubs, and groundcover at 17% in accordance with YMC § 15.06.090. The applicant will be required to submit a landscaping plan to the City of Yakima Planning Division for review and approval which meet the provisions of YMC § 15.06.090 prior to building permit issuance which incorporates any conditions of approval required by the Hearing Examiner. (5) Lighting of Parking Lots: The submitted site plan does not identify any proposed • lighting of the parking lot. As the proposed building and parking lot will be used at night, the applicant shall submit a parking lot lighting plan to the City of Yakima Planning Division for review and approval which utilizes down -shielded lights that does not create light pollution in accordance with YMC § 15.06.100. k. Site Screening: In accordance with YMC § 15.07.050 Table 7-1, and 15.07.060, Site screening standard "A" is required along the east and west property lines. However, in an effort to create a physical separation/buffer from the proposed use and the surrounding residences, in accordance with YMC § 15.07.030 site screening standard "C" "a six-foot high, view obscuring fence, made of wood, masonry block, concrete, or slatted chain link material. " is required to be installed along the south and west property lines. Site Screening standard "C" shall also be installed along the alley (east property line), excepting the area for the proposed access driveway. 1. Signs: The applicant's site plan does not identify any proposed signage. Therefore, any future signage shall comply with the provisions of YMC Ch. 15.08 for the SCC zoning district. M. Public infrastructure/title 12 development standards: (1) Street Improvements: (a) E. Walnut St. is designated as a Collector Arterial Street requiring a minimum of 80 ft. of right-of-way, with curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street light. • Page 8 of 22 YNHS CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 1;Itr-%.#9m9Vr_L) r222017 C6TY OF YAKIMA n.

To improve the streetscape surrounding the project, improve stormwater management, and contribute to the residential character of the renovation, YNHS also requests that it be permitted to convert 2 on -street spaces along 6th Street and 3 on -street spaces along Walnut Street (5 total) to tree planting areas. n. Development Services Team Comments: (1) Engineering: This project requires Title 8 and 12 improvements, including but not limited to the following: (a) YMC 8.64 - A new commercial driveway approach is required, which meets the requirements of this chapter and standard detail R4. (b) YMC 8.67 and YMC 12.05 - Where commercial driveway is removed, new curb, gutter and sidewalk shall be installed and match width of existing sidewalk. Existing sidewalk along frontage that is unfit or unsafe shall also be repaired/replaced. New sidewalk shall be constructed per standard detail R5. (c) YMC 8.72 - An excavation and street break permit shall be obtained for all work within the public right of way. N. 6th St. was part of the 2014 Grind and Overlay project. Refer to chapter for requirements. Roads less than five years old can be cut, but will cost one hundred fifty percent of restoration fee with no PCI discount. (d) Walnut Street angled parking cannot be continued. The sidewalk and other public improvements, along with curbing, must be rebuilt to City standards.

(2) Traffic Engineering: (a) The plan shows the continued use of angled parking on the 6th Street and Walnut Avenue frontages. The 6th Street parking may continue to be used as shown on the submitted concept plan. Vertical curbing or other barrier is required to separate the parking area from the sidewalk. Final design of curbing and landscaping is subject to review of the civil engineering site plans. (b) There does not appear to be enough space between the sidewalk and the curb line to allow angled parking on Walnut Avenue. A stall depth of 19'-8" is required for 45 -degree parking where this location only has IT -1" from the building face to the curb line. The curb cut back area could be modified to allow parallel parking. Vertical curbing or other barrier is required to separate the parking area from the sidewalk. Final design of curbing and landscaping is subject to review of the civil engineering site plans. (c) The sidewalk along the Walnut Avenue frontage is in poor condition. The entire length needs to be reconstructed to city standards. The proposed parking area is also in poor condition and should be reconstructed. (d)The unused driveway approach on 6th Ave must be closed with new vertical curbing. (3) Code Administration: (a) A fire sprinkler system will need to be installed and the fire department connection (FDC) will be required to be installed within 50 feet from an approved fire hydrant.

B. BEARING EXAMINER ADDITIONAL FINDINGS 1. JURISDICTION. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to conduct an open record hearing and render a decision on an application for Type (3) review. The proposed "cafe/deli" and "laundromat" are designated as Class (1) uses in the SCC zoning district according to YMC 15.04.030, Table 4-1. Class (1) designated uses are those that are considered compatible and are permitted on any site in the district. Class (1) uses are generally subject to review under Type (1) review procedures described in Ch. 15.13 YMC, subject to exceptions that are not relevant here. The proposed multifamily dwelling use is a Class (2) use according to Table 4-1. Class (2) uses are subject to Type (2) review procedures in Chapter 15.14 YMC with certain exceptions. In accordance with YMC 15.14.020.A, the administrative official may require that a Class (2) use undergo a Type (3) review, when, "in the opinion of the administrative official, formal public • review and comment on a proposal will assist in determining necessary and proper mitigation of impacts." In this case, YNHS has filed a master application, which also calls for an administrative adjustment to the parking standards. The master application is processed subject to the highest type of review applicable to any of the required permits or approvals. YMC 15.11.100. Since the City has determined that Type (3) is required for the multifamily residential component of the master application, the highest type of review is Type (3) for the master application. 2. REVIEW STANDARDS FOR CLASS (1) AND CLASS (2) USES. a. In Type 3 review, the hearing examiner must prepare written findings and conclusions stating the specific reasons, and citing the specific chapters and sections of this title upon which his decision to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the issuance of a certificate of zoning review is based. The findings must demonstrate that the hearing examiner's decision complies with the objectives of the YUACP, the intent of the zoning district, and the provisions and standards established in Title 15 of the YMC. See YMC 15.15.040(5). Similar standards apply in Type 2 review decisions made by the city administrative official. Further, in accordance with YMC 15.14.020.A, findings and conclusions • Page 11 of 22 YNHS CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 2 2017 C !7Y OF YAKIP1 A must support a determination of "necessary and proper mitigation of impacts" after consideration of public review and comment. b. Contemporaneous review of Class (1) uses with other classes of uses through the master application review process in YMC 15.11. 100 does not expressly change the substantive standard of review for Class (1) uses. Standard decisions on Class (1) uses are based on a determination that A. The proposed use is a Class (1) permitted use under YMC Chapter 15.04; B. That the proposed development complies with the standards and provisions of [Title 15 YMC]; C. That the proposed development complies with other building codes in effect and administered by the administrative official; D. That proposed development complies with traffic engineering standards and policies established by the appropriate jurisdiction to protect the function and satisfactory level of service of arterial and collector streets; and E. That any new improvements or expansions of a structure comply with the standards of [Title 15 YMC]... YMC.15.13.050. The conspicuous difference between review of Class (1) uses and other uses is • that demonstration of compliance with the comprehensive plan's policies or objectives is not required. C. Compliance with YUACP "objectives" or "policies. " When the zoning code itself expressly requires that a proposed use comply with a comprehensive plan, the proposed use must satisfy both the zoning code and the comprehensive plan, so long as the ordinance and the plan are not inconsistent. Cingular Wireless, LLC v. Thurston County, 131 Wn.App. 756, 770-773, 129 P.3d 300, (Div. 2 2006). Development regulations provide the fundamental framework for project permit review. See RCW 36.70B.030(2) In the present case, the ordinance calls specifically for an evaluation of compliance with the YUACP objectives or policies to assess the acceptability of a proposed use. Comprehensive plan goals are generally statements of community aspirations consistent with GMA guidance, and by their terms do not carrying regulatory weight. This leads to a threshold question of whether there is any regulatory effect to particular YUACP objectives or policies above and beyond regulatory provisions in the zoning ordinance. The answer sets up the operative question of whether the proposal is inconsistent with any such provisions. The staff report identifies following provisions of the YUACP as relevant to this proceeding: Goal 3.4: Restore old neighborhoods and revitalize declining neighborhoods. • Page 12 of 22 YNHS CL2#020-I6,ADJ#020-16 MhUI LVED 9 2017 C" OF YAKIIMA • � :101V, • 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. • Policy 3.4.3: In the residential areas where commercial and residential uses are heavily mixed, encourage the establishment of neighborhood commercial services and foster mixed uses including retail, office and apartments. This is particularly important in areas on Second Street and S. Third Street north of East Race Street. Discourage commercial uses that are non -neighborhood related. • Policy 3.4.5: Minimize the overcrowding/over-parking issues in old neighborhoods through: " ... Encouraging development of multi -family projects as infill or redevelopment projects in old neighborhoods as a means to provide affordable housing • Encouraging cohesiveness among neighborhood residents and community, and encourage interaction between neighborhoods and the government". Goal 3.12: Provide small scale, neighborhood convenience commercial uses and services, primarily serving residents of adjacent neighborhoods. • Policy 3.12.3: Neighborhood Commercial uses shall be located at the intersection of a principal arterial, minor arterial or collector arterial. • Policy 3.12.4: Neighborhood Commercial may be allowed when water and sewer service, street improvements, traffic control devices, municipal service and other development related improvements are in place. • • Policy 3.12.5: Adequate buffering shall be provided between adjacent residential land uses. • Policy 3.12.6: No motor vehicle to the commercial site shall be routed through residential areas. • Policy 3.12.7: Neighborhood Commercial uses shall be located in areas that will enhance, rather than hinder, the stability of residential areas. • Policy 3.12.8: The predominant uses of Neighborhood Commercial shall be small-scale business that will not have significant adverse impacts on adjacent neighborhoods. Goal 3.4 and its policies are aspirational in character (based on the use of terms such as "encourage" and "discourage") and appear to be fulfilled by the classification of uses in Table 4- 1 (Permitted Land Uses) in YMC 15.04.030. Goal 3.12 policies are more regulatory in nature. However, the location of Neighborhood Commercial uses is essentially addressed through the existing zoning map, classification of various uses permissible in commercial zones, and the establishment of development standards. Nevertheless, Policy 3.12.5 ("Adequate buffering shall be provided between adjacent residential land uses."), Policy 3.12.7("Neighborhood Commercial uses shall be located in areas that will enhance, rather than hinder, the stability of residential areas."), and Policy 3.12.8 ("The predominant uses of Neighborhood Commercial shall be small- scale business that will not have significant adverse impacts on adjacent neighborhoods.") all represent imperatives in the YUACP to protect existing residential uses, avoid significant adverse impacts to adjacent neighborhoods and stabilize residential areas. These policies have regulatory weight and compliance with them is an appropriate consideration in Type 3 Review. • Page 13 of 22 YNHS CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 DOC. INDEX #_�2� R 41 ECEWED «( 2 -^L 2017 'MI OF YAK11 A 3. ANALYSIS OF CLASS (1) USES PER YMC.15.13.050. a. The cafe/deli and laundromat are permitted uses in the SCC zoning district per Table 4-1. b. The adopted findings from the staff report determine these uses to be accessory uses to the multifamily dwelling use, primarily serving the tenants although open to the public as well. Regarding the parking generation rates for both the cafe/deli and Laundromat, in accordance with YMC 15.06.020, "off-street parking and loading spaces that are not a principal use are accessory uses and shall be subject to the same procedures and review requirements of the principal use." Thus, these accessory uses do not require determinations of parking requirements in addition to the number of spaces required for the primary multifamily dwelling use. The staff report recommends that, since the applicant has not provided any hours of operation for the two uses, as a condition of approval the hours should be limited to 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. YNHS does not object to this condition. Based on the adopted findings noting the project's general compliance with development standards other than with respect to on-site parking, the proposed development complies with the standards and provisions of the zoning ordinance. On-site parking is the subject of YNHS's request for an administrative adjustment to parking standards set out below at II.B.5. C. Any approval of the proposed Class (1) uses is conditional on compliance with other building codes in effect and administered by the administrative official, as well as with traffic engineering standards and policies as have been described in the Development Services Team comments set forth in the staff report findings above. In addition, based on Yakima Regional Clean Air Authority comments in the record, any approval is appropriately conditional upon the following: i. Prior to renovating or demolishing any structures an asbestos survey must be done by a certified asbestos building inspector; ii. Any asbestos found must be re oved by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor prior to demolition; iii. A Notification of Demolition and Renovation (NODR) application must be filed with YRCAA and the appropriate fee should be paid; iv. This project is located within Yakima's Urban Growth Area; therefore, burning is prohibited at all times; and V. Roads shall be maintained at all times to prevent any off-site dust transport during renovation. 4. CLASS (2) USE ANALYSIS (BASET) ON IL3.2.a, above). Compliance with the intent of the SCC zoning district. This zone is intended to: • Page 14 of 22 YNHS CL2#020-16, ADJ4020-16 0®(co INDEX 6)q_L (2 f 201? CITY OF YAKIMA Is(1) Provide areas for commercial activities outside the downtown commercial district that meet community retail shopping and service needs; and (2) Accommodate small commercial centers, generally two to five acres in size, where most of the commercial uses have located in a coordinated manner around a common parking lot and one major commercial approach driveway. Small convenience centers serve the day-to-day convenience shopping and service needs of the surrounding neighborhood and should be designed to minimize undesirable impacts of the center on the neighborhood it serves. Uses in this district should be retail or personal service establishments dealing directly with the consumer, the primary occupants usually being such uses as a supermarket, fast food restaurants and drug store. The proposed multifamily dwelling use does not promote the prospective purpose of the SCC district of establishing areas for commercial activities that are convenience -oriented and local in scale. However, the historical use has not fully conformed to the intent statement either, given that the use was established prior to the creation of the zoning map and development standards. Rather than being prescriptive, however, district intent statements "serve as a guide for determining the appropriate location of uses; help determine appropriate conditions for development; and help the administrative official interpret the standards and provisions." YMC 15.03.020. Multifamily dwelling uses are "generally permitted throughout the district" since they are Class (2) uses, as defined in YMC 15.02.020. The key consideration appears to be assuring that the use is "designed to minimize undesirable impacts" on the neighborhood. The proposed development is low density (less than 7 dwelling units per acre). YNHS has committed to "maintain the mid -20th Century style and massing of the existing grocery store building, but will upgrade it with 21st Century finishes and incorporate new horizontal siding to reflect the residential character of the surrounding neighborhood. The property will be extensively landscaped with native vegetation and beautify what is today an unmaintained, unused... concrete [parking] lot." Nothing in this proposal suggests it would undermine the intent of the zoning district. b. Compliance with Zoning Ordinance provisions and standards: If the proposed use is a multifamily dwelling unit, it is a Class (2) use in the SCC zoning district. The zoning ordinance contains pertinent definitions of "family," "dwelling unit," and "dwelling, multiple family" in YMC 15.02.020. "Family" means individuals, consisting of two or more persons related by blood, marriage or adoption, or a group of not more than five persons... living together as a single housekeeping unit in a dwelling unit." Thus, unrelated persons may constitute a family for purposes of the ordinance. The term "family" expressly includes: (1) State -licensed adult family homes required to be recognized as residential uses pursuant to RCW 70.128.175; (2) State -licensed foster family homes and group care facilities as defined in RCW 74.15.180, subject to the exclusions of subsection B of this definition; and • Page 15 of 22 YNHS CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 HECEIVE 2 ti 2017 CITY OF YAK11MA (3) Group homes for the disabled and consensual living arrangements equivalent to a familial setting required to be accommodated as residential uses pursuant to the Fair Housing Act and the Washington Housing Policy Act, RCW 35.63.220 and 35A.63.240, respectively. "Dwelling Unit" means one or more rooms in a dwelling for the occupancy of one family and providing complete and independent living facilities, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, cooking, eating and sanitation. "Dwelling, multiple -family" means a structure or structures, or portion thereof, designed for occupancy by three or more families living independently of each other and containing three or more attached dwelling units on a lot. The project is designed to comprise 5 dwelling units that each includes provisions for sleeping, cooking, eating and sanitation available only to dwelling unit residents or their guests. Rather merely providing shelter, the units are subject to rental agreements, thus imparting the same relative permanence as any other multifamily rental unit. Rent is required to be paid in kind, or when residents have income, they are required to pay 30% of their income as rent. See also CITY OF YAKIMA'S PREHEARING BRIEF, Hearing Exhibit No. 3, establishing the status of the project's residential units as "dwellings" and thus subject to the requirements of the Fair Housing Act. No comment has been offered to demonstrate that the proposed use does not meet the definition of a multifamily dwelling unit. On this basis of these aspects of the project, it constitutes a Class (2) multifamily dwelling in the SCC. The manner in which the project complies with relevant development standards is set out in II.A.9, above. C. Compliance with the YUACP. As discussed above in II.B.2.c, YUACP policies direct the protection of existing residential uses, avoidance of significant adverse impacts to adjacent neighborhoods and maintenance of stable residential areas in the development of neighborhood commercial areas, such as those zoned SCC. Similarly, YMC 15.14.020.A, provides for "necessary and proper mitigation of impacts" from a proposed Class (2) use after consideration of public review and comment. These considerations are appropriately applied to the proposed use that is subject to the application. (1) Public Comments: A substantial portion of the public comment offered during the hearing recounted adverse neighborhood impacts that commenters associate with the presence of homeless people in the area, such as trespass, property damage, drug use, other kinds of conduct otherwise prohibited by Chapter 6.55 YMC ("Offenses Against Public Decency and Morality") and a general decline in the character of the neighborhood. One example of neighborhood decline offered in comments is the continuous loss of residential structures reflecting historical architectural styles. Commenters recounted personal experiences with these kinds of effects from interactions with (presumed) homeless people. Other comments noted the impacts to local businesses from nuisances caused by the number of homeless people present in the project vicinity and nearby East Yakima Avenue. Comments also noted that the nearby location of other facilities established by YNHS and others to provide social services to homeless people, such as the YNHS facility referred to as "The Depot" (on East Yakima Avenue and 6th Street) is correlated with an increase in the neighborhood of adverse impacts such as trespass, property Page 16 of 22 YNHS CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 RECEIVED ?` 20 17 CITY OF YAKIMA damage, drug use, etc. One commenter noted that it is the "after hours" nuisance and criminal activities near such facilities that pose the more significant problems. The primary inferences offered by such comments are (1) that the proposed multifamily use will further attract homeless people to the neighborhood and worsen the adverse impacts neighbors have already experienced and (2) that the conversion of the YNHS-owned property to the multifamily use will foster continued neighborhood decline. Alternatively, several comments raised the question of whether the proposed use would provide any positive benefit to the neighborhood. Others challenged effectiveness of the multifamily development in achieving YNHS "Continuum of Care" homeless program objectives, particularly to the extent that the transition from homelessness may depend on car ownership, and the proposal does not provide parking to support that aspect of transition. Other public commenters provided testimony of the public benefits from providing programs for the homeless and the positive effects of such programs in responding to the current impacts presented by homeless people in the vicinity of the project. Comments noted that the improvements to the existing property would be beneficial to the area as long as measures were in place to prevent the property from becoming run-down or misused. (2) Application of YUACP considerations: (a) Homeless persons reportedly find their way to The Depot and other service sites with an expectation or a desire to receive services, and neighbors note a concentration and increased frequency of trespass, property damage, drug use, other kinds of objectionable conduct correlated with these facilities. Nothing in the hearing materials specifically characterizes the attributes of The Depot that might explain the potential correlation of the services and hours of operation of that facility with adverse interactions on the street. It is clear, however, that The Depot is not a dwelling. Thus, any analogy between the impacts of The Depot and those of the proposed project is a weak one. Based on the application materials and YNHS evidence presented at the hearing, the proposed multifamily use is not analogous to The Depot or other facilities in the area offering social services to client populations. As noted by both the City and YNHS, the proposed use is not a mission, or a warming shelter, or a clinic. It is a multifamily residential dwelling. (b) It is not implausible that the presence of the multifamily dwelling could attract homeless persons to the immediate area of the project with an expectation of finding shelter or other temporary respite, rather than an opportunity to enter a rental agreement for one of the dwelling units. It is also not clear that all persons finding their way to the project would be in a position to enter into a rental agreement. Furthermore, the guests of renters will be required to leave the property, and it is not clear whether such guests might continue to abide in the vicinity of the project. This presents at least some possibility that persons attracted to the area accordingly could contribute to the trespass, property damage, drug use, other kinds of conduct public commenters have complained of. However, from the evidence in the record, there is no Page 17 of 22 YNHS CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 HECEI 9 E t, ­Y 2 2017 stereotypical cause of homelessness or of behavior of homeless people. There is no evidence allowing a compelling inference that the people visiting the project would be likely to present adverse impacts to the neighborhood to a greater extent than other persons temporarily in the neighborhood. (b) The project is intended to serve a specific kind of tenant, consistent with YNHS's "Continuum of Care "and "housing first" approach to homelessness. To the extent that persons come to the project and enter into rental agreement in accordance with the Operations Plan and are offered assistance in accessing YNHS and other social services facilities at other locations, there is likely to be an incremental improvement to the problem of local homelessness. This is supported by documents submitted for the record by Benine McDonnell (Hearing Exhibit 6). In addition, the proposed use presents the prospect of improvement in the lives of both the renters who might otherwise be part of the problems in the neighborhood. The basis for this prospect is described in the application materials, the staff report and YNHS evidence presented at the hearing. (c) To the extent that adverse impacts in the neighborhood are caused by homeless persons, those impacts would be incrementally mitigated by the implementation of the YNHS approach. Residents would be prohibited from the use of illegal drugs, and would have individually assigned case managers to further the transition from homelessness. A resident manager would monitor compliance with the Operations Plan and tenant rules. • (d) The planned improvements to the property, including screened outdoor use areas for the tenants, would be harmonious with and beneficial to the residential neighborhood surrounding the property while providing a buffer between tenants and neighborhood residents, also as described in the application materials, staff report and YNHS evidence presented at the hearing. Like all property owners, YNHS would be subject to ongoing code compliance requirements, and uses of the property would have to comply with conditions of approval. Furthermore, the project provides for the preservation of the architectural style of the existing building, also consistent with goals of neighborhood preservation. (e) In summary, incremental improvements in addressing homelessness will improve the protection of existing residential uses in the area. There is no persuasive evidence that significant adverse impacts to adjacent neighborhoods will result from the proposed multifamily residential use, so long as the property improvements and Operations Plan are effectively implemented (constituting "necessary and proper mitigation of impacts.") Finally, the planned improvements and use does not present a significant likelihood of upsetting the stability of the neighborhood, and will rather help preserve it by helping to respond to homelessness issues in the area and (although some neighbors dispute the actual value to the community) by preserving the unique architectural features of the existing building and improving landscaping and buffers. As such, the proposed multifamily residential use complies with the YUACP. • Page 18 of 22 YNHS CL24020-16, ADJ#020-16 RECEIVED 2017 5. ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENT. 4'b. ,' v 'm:, CN a. YNHS requested an Administrative Adjustment of the parking standards established under Ch. 15.10 YMC that would reduce the combined parking standard from 36 spaces to 15 spaces. The zoning ordinance authorizes the administrative official to administratively adjust certain standards of the zoning ordinance. (YMC 15.10.020) A particular standard may be reduced or modified so long as the reviewing official determines that the adjustment and/or reduction is consistent with the purpose of Title 15 YMC, the intent and purpose of the standard, and shall accomplish one or more of the following objectives: 1. Allow buildings to be sited in the manner which maximizes solar access; 2. Allow zero lot line or common wall construction in conformance with the provisions of this title; 3. Coordinate development with adjacent land uses and the physical features of [the area]; 4. Permit flexibility in the design and placement of structures and other site improvements; 5. Allow development consistent with a specific subarea plan adopted by either the city or county. Only Objectives 3 and 4, above, are directly relevant to this application. b. Although YMC 15.06.040 Table 6-1 provides that the parking standard for multi- family dwellings is 2 parking stalls per dwelling unit, this standard does not account for a reduced living area, or other living arrangements provided by the definition of "family" in YMC 15.02.020. In support of the submitted Administrative Adjustment, YNHS offered the results of a study by Heffron Transportation Inc. that evaluated the parking demands for five low-income senior housing projects in the greater Seattle area. The uses at those projects were somewhat analogous to the proposed project. The study concluded that 5% of the senior population required vehicle parking. YNHS experience with homeless clients at other facilities also indicated a very low vehicle ownership rate. Based upon this information YNHS projected that the tenants at the multifamily dwelling project would likely require only one parking stall per dwelling unit. C. As noted above, some public comment indicated concerns that the limited parking would undercut the transition from homelessness, since vehicle ownership is necessary for some employment. The Administrative Official the evaluated the proposed adjustment using the parking generation rate in the 3rd Edition Parking Generation Institute of Transportation Engineers Manual Land Use: 221 Low/Mid-Rise Apartment (Average Peak Period Parking Demand vs: Dwelling Units on a: Weekday Location: Urban). The evaluation affirmed the adequacy of the YNHS's proposed parking standard of one parking stall per dwelling unit. This standard reduces the parking requirements from ten required parking stalls to five. Page 19 of 22 YNHS CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 2017 CITY OF YAKIMA d. Based upon the reduced parking standards and projected staffing rates for the project, the Administrative Official recommends that a minimum of thirteen off-street parking stalls be required for the proposed use. The YNHS's site plan provides fifteen off-street parking stalls. The application of the YMC § l 5.10.020 criteria is as follows: (1). Coordinate site features with surrounding land uses and physical features: The proposed parking adjustment provides sufficient parking for the proposed multi -family housing use while allowing the subject parking lot to meet the 10% landscaping requirement of YMC § 15.06090, and the 85% lot coverage requirement of YMC § 15.05 Table 5-1 for the SCC zoning district. Furthermore, the Administrative Adjustment will allow YNHS to create a fenced outdoor area, which is landscaped [and] in which the occupants of the multi -family dwelling can congregate during the day[,] separate from the surrounding neighborhood. The required site screening along [the] east, west and south property lines will restrict the view of the proposed use from the surrounding single-family dwellings, and buffer potential conflicts from the occupants of the proposed use. (2). Flexibility of design and placement of structures and other site improvement that is the minimum adjustment necessary to accommodate the proposed structure or site improvement: The Administrative Adjustment request is the minimum necessary to meet the City's design standards for lot coverage and landscaping of the subject parking lot while still providing enough parking stalls to meet the building's parking demand. Additionally, although the sites on -street parking cannot be used to substitute for required off-street parking stalls, there • will continue to be several on -street parking stalls in the immediate vicinity to respond both to potential parking needs for the general traveling public and potential visitors the multi -family dwelling or surrounding neighborhood. III. CONCLUSION. For the reasons set out in the foregoing findings, the Class (1) caf6/deli use, Class (1) laundromat use, Class (2) multifamily dwelling and Administrative Adjustment to applicable parking standards, all as described in the completed application materials and in evidence submitted by city planning officials and YNHS representatives in the course of the public hearing process should be approved subject to conditions to assure both compliance with applicable development standard, pertinent policies in the YUACP, the intent of the SCC zoning district and necessary and proper mitigation of impacts.

Yakima Neighborhood Health Services, 201 South 6th Street (Roy's Market) Date Submitted: June 7, 2017 Submitted By; the several signers listed below ® There is a major impact of this project much farther than the 300' surrounding the border of the property for which the law requires notice. This impact is throughout the entire downtown core. A more realistic impact is at least 10 times that amount or 3000' to more than a mile. The quote on page 3 of the decision "preserve neighborhood character" is simply untrue. Please look at the radical change in the North 1St street corridor since the Union Gospel Mission moved there. This project will result in a major environmental, social and economic impact on the neighboring residences and businesses. ® "Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan: ... The subject property is designated as Neighborhood Commercial, which is characterized by `small scale, neighborhood convenience commercial uses and services primarily for residences of adjacent neighborhoods.'..." {From decision page 51. This project is really for a non-profit organization to assist homeless men. These men are not necessarily from Yakima. The local residents will not avail • themselves of these services. Allowing this project in this zone will mean it can be replicated anywhere in the city. ® The exception to usual parking requirements is totally unrealistic. Some of these folks may live a car free lifestyle, but success in our society is dependent upon private vehicle use. Homeless will live in cars until the vehicles become unworkable and they can't afford to fix them. When they do get a job as they transition out of their homeless situation it will probably be in unskilled labor. The central Washington economy is based on agriculture. Those shift work jobs start early in the morning or go late into the evening or involve weekends. When public transportation is not available. They will need to have cars. ® This project "would provide apartment -style units". The definition of apartment is: "a set of rooms, among other sets in one building, designed for use as a dwelling." This project is not apartments. They are pods with separate sleeping, bathing, cooking, and living rooms. This is more like a dormitory and that definition is: "a building containing a number of sleeping rooms". ® This project will take additional property off the city tax rolls as it is purchased and used by a non-profit agency. At the same time it will reduce the value of surrounding properties. Several folks have said they would sell their property in the area because it will become devalued. This • neighborhood has been improved over the decades by providing reasonably priced individual home ownership.

We are not lawyers and do not have funds to hire one. The applicant is funded by taxpayer dollars. They have the funds to hire an attorney. We are appealing the Hearing Examiner's Decision and rebutting the memo of the applicant. While it was said in the rebuttal that our claims were unsupported and had no merit, that is not true. The Hearing Examiner said there was no scientific evidence that such a development is a problem, or would have a negative impact in the neighborhood. The change in recent decades of North 1st Street is that evidence. In the last year the encampment at Chestnut & South 6th Street, as well as the one across from police station, is also such evidence. The businesses and residents of the area have testified to urination, defecation, discarded needles and live sex on their property and in their neighborhoods. There have been many studies and articles about the negative impact of homeless accommodations in a neighborhood. In New York City a lawsuit was filed because there is an unequal share of homeless residents in poor neighborhoods. That is also the case in Yakima. Ten years ago YNHS expanded services to work with homeless individuals. Three years ago they started serving homeless people out of The Depot. $30 million later, homelessness is up 22% in Yakima. We have the worse rates in the state for moving people out of transitional housing into permanent housing. These facts come from YVCOG. The residents of this project are not required to be clean and sober to live there. It has been proven this treatment model is not effective. The residents cannot use alcohol or drugs on these premises. The applicant has never addressed where they will use these substances. RECEIVED DOC. JUL 2 8 2017 INDEX CITY OF YAKIIWA An apartment can only have 7 inhabitants. This project will have 5 • dwelling units that will house up to 40 people. This means there will be 8 persons per pod which is more than the multifamily housing standard. • • Zoning use must promote the compatibility with the policies and development criteria of the Comprehensive flan. That has not been demonstrated by this project. It is a multifamily residential development that abuts an R1 zoned single family residential neighborhood. We need to avoid another decline as has happened on North 1St Street. Our major argument has to do with the parking adjustment. There are currently parking problems for the neighboring residents. This is specifically evident when there is an activity at the Capitol Theatre. Adding 40 residents and 2 businesses will increase the parking crisis downtown. Cutting the standard of 36 parking stalls to 15 is definitely not warranted or acceptable. An apartment has to have one parking space for each unit. With 5 living units there should be parking for at least 5 cars. The people living in those 5 units are not necessarily related, so will probably not be able to share cars. There is parking for 8 employees. That is 13 spaces being used. At 15 spaces there is already a shortage. People going to a Laundromat will not carry clothing and detergent for blocks to use that business. No parking spaces are designated for the Laundromat. Folks meeting someone to eat at the cafe will not walk long distances either. Any other for-profit organization would not be allowed to decrease parking allowances for their facility. This should not happen here either. It seems a leniency in the code was created to make this project work. Perry Torrance, Assistant Police Chief in Seattle, was hired to write the Emergency Plan for the City of Yakima. In conclusion we request that he be hired to perform an Environmental Impact and Safety Study as to the effect of this project on neighborhood homes, and businesses. We are also requesting the City Council reverse the hearing examiner's decision. Thank you. Attachments: 17 RECEIVED U no 0 � JUL 2 8 2017 �?

INTROIDUCTION Yakima Neighborhood Health Services ("Neighborhood Health") proposes to convert an existing commercial building into a multi -family residential development with five dwelling units that house no more than 40 residents, a cafe/deli, and a laundromat ("the Project"). The property is the former home of Roy's Market, a neighborhood grocery store that has become severely blighted in recent years. Multifamily residential development is a permitted Class 2 use in the Small Convenience Center ("SCC") zone. It is reviewed for its compatibility with the district, neighborhood, and Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan ("Comprehensive Plan"). The application also requests an Administrative Adjustment to reduce the parking standard from 36 stalls to 15 stalls on site. MCCULLOUGH HILL LEARY.

He therefore approved the Project ("Decision"). Appellants raise a number of claims, each of which is unsupported and unfortunately marred by stereotyped allegations and unjustified fear. Appellants' challenge to the Hearing Examiner accordingly has no merit. Neighborhood Health therefore respectfully asks the City Council to deny Appellants' appeal and uphold the Hearing Examiner's Decision. 11. )FACTS The following facts were established at the hearing before the Hearing Examiner. Yakima Neighborhood Health Services Neighborhood Health is a Washington nonprofit corporation providing medical, dental and health services to underserved populations within Yakima County, Washington. Approximately 10 years ago, Neighborhood Health expanded its mission to specifically include targeted efforts to end homelessness in Yakima County. Last year, Neighborhood Health provided, among other things, about 100 units of permanent supportive housing and was responsible for orchestrating the winter warming shelters around the City. Neighborhood Health adheres to the Continuum of Care approach. This approach offers multiple ports of entry to stable housing and a full spectrum of services to address each individual's needs. The first priority is to provide stable housing for homeless residents so that their health can be assessed and improved, their income and employment capacity can be increased, they can learn to establish improved connections with the community, and ultimately they can transition into permanent housing and self-sufficiency. MCCULLOUGH HILL LEARY, P.S. 701 Fifth Avenue, Suite 6600 APKICANT'S REPONSE TO APPEAL - Page 2 of 16 Seattle, WA 98104 E) OC. 206.812.3389 fax 'N® g . c,3 I;w1I 2017 1 As a result of the adoption of this Continuum of Care approach, Neighborhood Health and 2 other service providers have successfully assisted many once homeless individuals to 3 dramatically improve their lives. 4 The Project Proposal 5 6 As a key component of this Continuum of Care approach, Neighborhood Health 7 proposes to renovate a former grocery store into a multifamily residential development to 8 house up to 40 formerly homeless residents. The property is known as Roy's Market, a 9 neighborhood grocery store that is now vacant and has become severely blighted in recent to years. The proposal includes 5 dwelling units, which will house no more than 40 residents, 11 12 many of whom are disabled and have been homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless. In 13 addition to the main kitchen and three shared bathrooms in the residential portion of the • 14 building, the project includes 5 bathrooms and kitchenettes that are shared by the residents of 15 each dwelling unit and accessed via key card, residential storage, and large shared common 16 amenity spaces for all residents. The proposal is designed to accommodate the vulnerable 17 18 population it will serve. The proposal is not intended to be utilized as a place of temporary 19 sojourn, such as a mission as defined in the Yakima Municipal Code, or a warming shelter. 20 The Project will also include a small cafe and a Laundromat, both of which will be 21 open to public. Fifteen off-street parking spaces will be provided. The property will also be 22 extensively landscaped with native vegetation and will beautify what is today an 23 unmaintained, unused, and unattractive concrete lot. 24 25 The Project will provide transitional housing. Each resident will enter into a lease. 26 The Project will provide housing for residents for up to 24 months, and then help them move 27 on to permanent supportive housing, or permanent housing, with or without subsidy. • 28 MCCULLOUGH DILL ILEARY, P.S. 701 Fifth Avenue, } Suite 6600 APPLICANT'S REPONSE TO APPEAL - Page 3 of 16 Seattle, WA 98104 Q®C, 206.812.3388 INDE 206.812.3389 fax Ct W 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 13 • 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 • 27 28 L i = 201; OF VAKIMA Multiple Family Dwellings =°''°` SRI. The Project will provide 5 dwelling units, along with a cafe and laundromat. Each dwelling unit will include personal space for storage and sleeping, and the residents of each unit will share a bathroom and kitchenette. All residents of the facility will also have access to a larger common area, storage, and kitchen. A multiple family dwelling is defined in the Zoning Code as a structure or structures, or portion thereof, designed for occupancy by three or more families living independently of each other and containing three or more attached dwelling units on a lot. YMC 15.02.020. A dwelling unit is further defined as "one or more rooms in a dwelling for the occupancy of one family and providing complete and independent living facilities, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, cooking, eating and sanitation." Id. As City staff cstablished in its testimony at the hearing, this project meets the definition of a multiple family dwelling unit with accessory uses. The City, in its staff report, confirmed that the Neighborhood Health Project is a Class 2 multifamily dwelling use subject to Type 3 review. See City of Yakima Staff Report, p. 7 ("Staff Report"). The Project Site and the Surrounding Neighborhood The project site is zoned Small Convenience Center ("SCC"). However, the immediate surrounding neighborhood is zoned residential and is residential in nature. In fact, the City, in its Staff Report, notes that there are 28 two -to -four unit structures and 10 five -plus unit structures within a 500 -ft radius of the project site. See Staff Report, p. 2. The project site is ideally located near a variety of services within walking distance that will benefit the residents, including heath care, the hygiene center at Triumph, the .APPLICANT'S REPONSE TO APPEAL - Page 4 of 16 MCCULLOUGH HILL L.EARY, P.S. 701 Fifth Avenue, Suite 6600 �e Seattle, WA 98104 DOC. 206.812.3388 iN® 206.8123389 fax �� ECEI VED UJIF17' (11'y Lf YAKIMA b'� a � I homeless resource center at the Depot, City Transit Center, the Veterans Center, and legal 2 services providers. 3 One of the advantages of the Project is that it will provide the homeless that are 4 currently living in the open, out on the street, in the immediate neighborhood a safe place to 5 6 live with both indoor and outdoor amenity space in which to stay during the day and evening. 7 By providing residents a safe place to live in the area in which they already congregate, they 8 will now be able to live in a safe and warm home, rather than on the streets and in the open. 9 The Application 10 Neighborhood Health submitted its Class 2 application for its multifamily residential II 12 project with accessory uses on December 19, 2016. The application was then amended to 13 respond to City comments. Neighborhood Health also requested an administrative adjustment • 14 to reduce the required parking of 36 parking spaces to 15 off-street parking spaces because the 15 residents of the Project typically do not own cars. 16 Neighborhood Health serves a community with needs that are distinct from traditional 17 Is residents. As part of its application, Neighborhood Health also submitted an Operations Plan 19 to outline how the proposed residential facility will run. The Operations Plan includes lease 20 terms, conditions for residents, and a list of residents' rights. These rights include, among 21 other things, the right to return to his or her own room each night, to access and use both in - 22 room storage and larger storage lockers in the common area, to decorate their rooms, and to 23 entertain guests in the Project's designated common areas. 24 25 The City issued a Determination of Nonsignificance ("DNS") under the State 26 Environmental Policy Act ("SEPA") on March 27, 2017. The appeal period ended on April 27 10, 2017. No appeal was filed. Accordingly, no SEPA issues may be raised in this appeal. • 28 MCCULLOUGH HILL LEARY, P.S. 701 Fifth Avenue, Suite 6600 APPLICANT'S REPONSE TO APPEAL - Page 5 of 16 Seattle, WA 98104 DOC 206.812.3388 206.812.3389 fax 1 6 N D #C • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 r� 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 • 28 ri ei m r 2011 YAKIMA Hearing Examiner Decision After a hearing on the merits on May 1, 2017, the Hearing Examiner adopted the staff recommendation and approved the Project. Appellants now appeal the Hearing Examiner's Decision. 111. ARGUMENT A. Standard of Review. Under Yakima Municipal Code ("YMC" or "Code") 15.16.050, the Hearing Examiner's Decision is final, but may be appealed to the City Council under the requirements of this provision. The City Council's review of the facts is limited to the record developed below, including all materials received in evidence at any previous stage of the review, audio/visual tapes of the prior hearing, the final order being appealed, and argument by the parties at the examiner's hearing. YMC 15.16.060.D. Because the City Council is considered an appellate body under YMC 15.16.050, its determination is based "solely on the original record, it is not empowered to substitute its judgment for that of the examiner, and it must sustain the examiner's findings of fact if they are supported by substantial evidence." Maranatha Mining v. Pierce County, 59 Wn. App. 795, 801-2, 801 P.2d 985 (1990). Substantial evidence is considered evidence that is sufficient "to persuade a fair-minded, rational person of the truth of a declared premise."' �Alejandre v. Bull, 159 Wn.2d 674, 681, 153 P.3d 864, 867 (2007) (citations omitted). Appellants fail to demonstrate, or even argue, that the Hearing Examiner's findings are not supported by substantial evidence. Those findings not challenged by Appellants must be accepted as true. Maranatha, supra. APPLICANT'S REPONSE TO APPEAL - Page 6 of 16 MCCULLOUGH HILL LEARY.

The Hearing Examiner's Decision is Supported by Substantial )Evidence in the Record. Unfortunately, in their appeal, Appellants rely upon a number of spurious stereotypes about the homeless. Not only do these stereotypes lack any basis in fact in the record below, and were soundly rejected by the Hearing Examiner as unsupported, but they also have nothing to do with the Zoning Code criteria which determine the scope of the Hearing Examiner's review. The only questions that the Zoning Code authorizes the Hearing Examiner to consider in this case are: (1) whether the proposed residential multifamily use with accessory cafe and laundromat is compatible with the City's zoning district, the Comprehensive Plan, and the overall residential neighborhood (see YMC 15.04.020.13); and (2) whether the proposed reduction in required parking meets the criteria for an administrative adjustment under YMC 15.10.020. As to the first of the two questions, based on the substantial evidence in the record, the Hearing Examiner properly determined that the proposed multifamily use is compatible with all three. As to the second of two questions, the Hearing Examiner also properly determined that the proposed project met the criteria for an administrative adjustment to reduce off-site parking requirements. Appellants' claims must be dismissed and the decision by the Hearing Examiner decision must be upheld. 1. Appellants raise specious allegations, wholly without support in the record, about the behavior of the homeless in support of their appeal.

These accusations and stereotypes are untrue and are not relevant to the issues reviewed by the Hearing Examiner.

These spurious claims accordingly must be dismissed. 2. Public notice was properly provided. Appellants claim that the City should have provided notice to more than those who live within 300 feet of the project site, as the effect of the Project, they allege, is much greater.2 Appeal, p. 1. Almost in the same breath, however, they admit the City met its legal requirement to provide public notice. Id. Indeed, they fail to cite any authority that would require the City to provide notice to those outside of the 300 -ft. radius required by law.

McNeair, 88 Wn. App. 331, 340, 944 P.2d 1099 (1997) (failure to cite authority constitutes a concession that the argument lacks merit). In addition, Appellants identify no substantial evidence in the Hearing Examiner record that supports this claim. Instead, Appellants attempt to compare this proposed multifamily structure to a mission, the Union Gospel Mission, with a structure very different from that of the proposed multifamily project. The Union Gospel Mission is not a multifamily project. Unlike the proposed project, it does not provide a consistent place to live, does not require a rental agreement, does not allow the guests to have an assigned room, z Appellants appear to raise concerns under the State Environmental Policy Act. The City issued a Determination of Nonsignificance on March 27, 2017. The appeal period ended on April 10, 2017. No one appealed and the claims were accordingly not before the Hearing Examiner.

To the extent some of the Appellants' inflammatory statements can be construed to challenge this finding, they have no merit and find no support in the record. The Appellants provided at hearing only unsupported statements that perpetuate stereotypes, but no evidence that supports their claims that the proposed multifamily project would result in neighborhood deterioration. In light of the Appellants' accusations at hearing regarding the purported negative impact the Project will have on the neighborhood, the Hearing Examiner determined that, "[t]here is no evidence allowing a compelling inference that the people visiting the project would be likely to present adverse impacts to the neighborhood to a greater extent than other persons temporarily in the neighborhood." Decision, p. 18. Indeed, the evidence in the record finds that the Project will positively impact the neighborhood. The Hearing Examiner found that the key consideration for compatibility is "assuring that the use is designed to minimize undesirable impacts on the neighborhood." Decision, at p. 15. Here, this residential project will provide a safe space for those who become residents that may currently be sleeping on the streets in the neighborhood. Aesthetically, there is no question that the renovated building will better fit into the neighborhood fabric than the existing conditions and aligns with the residential feel of the neighborhood. See Attachment A (elevation provided at hearing by Applicant). For example, the Project will beautify the existing conditions by renovating the currently dilapidated mid -Century structure and extensively landscaping the area with native vegetation and privacy screening, and provide a safe, fenced outdoor space for its residents. The cafe and laundromat are also services compatible with residential uses that will contribute to the livability of the neighborhood.

To the extent Appellants raised a claim regarding compatibility with the district, which they did not, it must be dismissed. b. The record demonstrates that the proposed project is a multifamily dwelling with accessory cafe and laundromat uses. Appellants question whether the project would create "apartments." This claim was not raised before the Hearing Examiner and the Hearing Examiner accordingly had no opportunity to address the claim. See Decision, p. 16. The City Council should therefore deem appellants to have waived the claim. See YMC 15.16.050.13. I.A. Even if the City Council considers the argument, however, it has no merit. The Hearing Examiner approved the multifamily use for 5 dwelling units. The Hearing Examiner concluded as a matter of law that the substantial evidence in the record demonstrates that the proposed project meets the definition of dwelling unit. The Appellants offer no legal authority to dispute that legal conclusion. The uncited definitions of "apartment" and "dormitory" offered by Appellants do not constitute legal authority and are not uses defined in the Zoning Code. Since no legal authority is offered, the claim must be dismissed. Cowiche Canyon, supra. Appellants do not question whether the project's units meet the Zoning Code definition of dwelling unit, defined as "one or more rooms in a dwelling for the occupancy of one family and providing complete and independent living facilities, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, cooking, eating, and sanitation."

The Hearing Examiner properly determined that the 4 Neighborhood Health Proposal is compatible with the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. 5 6 Appellants argue that the Neighborhood Health proposal is not compatible with the 7 overall goals of a Neighborhood Commercial designation because "the project is really for a 8 non-profit organization to assist homeless men" and "[tjhese men are not necessarily from 9 Yakima." Appeal, p. 1. These statements are directly contradicted by the facts in the record. 10 The, substantial evidence in the record upon which the Hearing Examiner relies found 11 that the multifamily project will serve those who are homeless or at risk of being homeless, 12 13 including all genders and ages. In addition, there are no facts in the record that would support 14 the outlandish contention that the residential project will house only men primarily not from 15 Yakima. 16 Moreover, the Hearing Examiner found that the proposed multifamily use aligns with 17 a number of goals and policies of the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, 18 19 the Hearing Examiner focused on Policy 3.12.5 ("adequate buffering shall be provided 20 between adjacent residential land uses"), Policy 3.12.7 ("Neighborhood Commercial uses 21 shall be located in areas that will enhance, rather than hinder, the stability of residential 22 areas."), and Policy 3.12.8 ("The predominant uses of Neighborhood Commercial shall be 23 small-scale businesses that will not have significant adverse impacts on adjacent 24 25 neighborhoods.").

Indeed, he found that there was no persuasive evidence that there would be impacts to the neighborhood caused by the Project. Decision, p. 18. Based on the evidence in the record, the Hearing Examiner found that the proposed residential use complies with the Comprehensive Plan. The Appellants have not shown otherwise. 4. The Project meets the criteria for an Administrative Adjustment. Appellants allege, without the slightest shred of factual support, that the homeless will live in cars until the vehicles become unworkable. They also allege that the homeless will need cars to obtain employment. There is no support in the record for such a conclusion. The facts established at hearing demonstrate that the parking reduction sought reflects two facts that renders this Project and its location atypical, and distinguishes the Project from other, more typical multifamily structures with ground floor retail. The first distinction is that there is a low likelihood that the homeless will have cars, based upon the experience of the Neighborhood Health staff in working with homeless individuals as well as the results of analogous parking studies evaluating parking demand associated with the homeless population. The second distinction is that the Code -required parking for an accessory cafe and laundromat is likely high for this Project, as it is estimated that the residents and nearby neighbors who can walk to the project site will utilize those neighborhood services. In addition to consideration of the unique population of the Project, the Hearing Examiner's determination relied upon the analysis of the City agency with expertise regarding transportation and parking. The City reviewed the parking generation rate for low to mid -rise apartments found in the 3 d Edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers manual, which MCCULLOUGH HILL LEARY, P.S. 701 Fifth Avenue, Suite 6600 APPLICANT'S REPONSE TO APPEAL - Page 14 of 16 Seattle, WA 98104 DOC 206.812.3388exp 206.812.3389 fax IND ECEIVE 1;_11. 1 '71 2 01; I estimates one parking stall is needed per dwelling unit in a typical apartment building. Staff 2 Report, p. 9. The City determined that, under YMC 15.06.020, accessory parking for the cafe 3 and laundromat is not required, but did determined that an additional eight parking stalls 4 should be required to accommodate the estimated eight staff members. The City accordingly 5 6 determined 13 stalls should be required and Neighborhood Health intends to build 15 stalls. 7 To grant an Administrative Adjustment, the Hearing Examiner found that the Project 8 met two of the criteria found in YMC 15.10.020. Specifically, this parking reduction (1) 9 helps coordinate site features with surrounding land uses and physical features and (2) 10 provides flexibility of design and placement of site improvements that is the minimum 11 12 necessary adjustment necessary to accommodate the site improvement. See YMC 15.10.020. 13 The parking reduction allows Neighborhood Health to build fenced -in open space for the 14 residents that serves as a privacy buffer. In addition, reducing the parking requirement to 15 15 spaces will allow the removal of 15 existing on-site parking spaces and create a more 16 sustainable onsite stormwater management system by reducing the amount of impervious lot 17 18 coverage and adding landscaping to beautify the site. Removal of parking stalls also allows 19 Neighborhood Health to meet lot coverage requirements. Decision, p. 20. 20 Appellants provide no citation to the Hearing Examiner record that shows the 21 Administrative Adjustment was granted in error. The substantial evidence in the record 22 shows that the Administrative Adjustment to reduce required parking to 15 parking spaces is 23 appropriate. 24 25 IV.

Yakima Neighborhood Health Services, 201 South 6th Street (Roy's Market) My wife and I did attend the public hearing on this issue. Our opinion as we considered the content of the hearing, testimony and data provided was that this project would not receive approval. We are surprised of the hearing examiner's decision, bringing need for our comment at this time. We do believe that there is needed action to care for and deal with the homeless and the issues surrounding their needs in the City of Yakima. We do believe this is a community issue and not something to be addressed on a small scale as this project, nor should citizens in one area and the core of Yakima be required to pay the price that this area will suffer for the short sight of this project. The City of Yakima needs to step-up and properly address the needs of the homeless in Yakima, find the funds to do it and a proper site to contain such a project. The City and County appear to be able to find funds and backing for a Plaza, the Yakima Mill Site • and jails, why not the homeless. With that said, comment and opinion below is based on and referenced to the six "Bullet Points" contained in the Appeal Of Hearing Examiner's Decision submitted by Maud Scott and signers June 7, 2017. 1) There is a further reaching impact from this project than is being recognized by the hearing process and the City of Yakima. With little observation and investigation, it is easy to ascertain that the issues of the homeless are impacting the entire community. Many businesses in our city are posting signs to keep unwanted citizens out, fast food servers are turning the water off at their self -serve soda fountains and more businesses are hiring security to keep undesirables away. It is easy to see without much research that this issue impacts more than just this neighborhood. 2) Bullet points No. 2 & No. 4 — Projected zoning adjustment indicates apartments/multi- family. There may be strong desire to represent this as a multi -unit residential complex and avoid other issues with the actual use but it would be an opinion that this could spark some legal issues. As residential units, it would appear that these units would come under the "Washington State Landlord Tenant Act". It appears the "Act" does not • allow a tenant to "Waive" their rights by written agreement. It appears that the project, the impact on the community and surrounding property owners and services are Cy�sbased LJ Cid Appeal Comment —APP#002 —Maud Scott —Two Pages IN D EX CC -1 ';UN 3 0 2017 CITY OF YAKIN0, on rules & regulations imposed by project operators, possibly not enforceable. There 03U appears to be many questions that are overlooked in the approval of this project using the premise of "Residential Living Units". A general classification projected by the operator with very little raw data to legally support this type of operation. 3) Adjustment for parking appears to give very slim consideration to the impact of neighboring residents and core Yakima. Guidelines are in place so that a proper assessment is made prior to granting a variance. A simple drive though the area on most days and evenings of the week it is easy to observe the lack of parking for neighboring residence and residential use, and the entire downtown core of Yakima. There is question or pause in considering what this area will look like as the downtown plaza pushes more parking to the streets. There does not appear to be any specific consideration in the estimates for the parking numbers in this project just generalities. There appears to be administrative staff (how many), store clerks, maintenance people, how many mandatory counselors, vendor sales people, vendor delivery trucks, city/county oversite and administrators, residents, visitors and possibly more. There does not appear to be any real traffic counts, solid data or limits given or submitted. There does not appear to be any way to police this problem after it is approved and out of the box. The examiner's review would not have been able to determine if this project would fit the site even if the site plan was altered as was offered at the hearing. 4) Bullet points No. 5 & No. 6 - It does not appear that there is any real data provided on is the impact of the neighboring properties, neighborhood properties and the Yakima core. It does not appear that there would be anyone in agreement that this small project is going to have little or no impact on the neighboring properties, neighborhood properties and the Yakima core. It also does not appear that this project will make a "dent" in the problem the homeless face in Yakima. A simple drive through the downtown core counting those that need this type of help would overfill this site. At the same time, this small project may make the City of Yakima a destination point for others needing help. It appears that until the City of Yakima properly addresses the problem of the homeless with the proper resources and funds the city, the citizens of Yakima and neighboring property owners will feel the impact and legal consequences of the homeless issues. Something this project will not relieve or aide, as is evident in • downtown Yakima, currently.

Location, Zoning of Subject Property and Surrounding Properties: 1. Location: The subject property is located at 201 S. 6th St., Yakima, WA. 2. Zoning of Subject Property: The property's zoning is designated as Small Convenience Center (SCC). This zone is intended to: 1. Provide areas for commercial activities outside the downtown commercial district that meet community retail shopping and service needs; and 2. Accommodate small commercial centers, generally two to five acres in size, where most of the commercial uses have located in a coordinated manner around a common parking lot and one major commercial approach driveway. Small convenience centers serve the day-to-day convenience shopping and service needs of the surrounding neighborhood and should be designed to minimize undesirable impacts of the center on the neighborhood it serves. Uses in this district should be retail or personal service establishments dealing directly with the consumer, the primary occupants usually being such uses as a supermarket, fast food restaurants 0 and drug store.

A Type (3) Review with an open record public hearing provides formal public review and comment to assist in determining necessary and proper mitigation of impacts. 8. Pursuant to YMC § 16.05.010, a Notice of Application was sent to SEPA Agencies and adjoining property owners within 300 -feet of the subject property on March 1, 2017. Three public comment letters were received during the 20 -day comment period that ended on March 21, 2017. 9. The proposal was reviewed by the City's Development Services Team (DST) on March 14, 2017. Final comments of the DST may be viewed at the City of Yakima Planning Division within City File CL2#020-16, and are integrated into this recommendation. D. Environmental Review: This project underwent State Environmental Policy Act Review (SEPA) on March 1, 2017, and has been concluded on March 27, 2017, with the issuance of a Determination of Non - Significance (DNS), which was not appealed during the following 14 -day appeal period that ended April 10, 2017. E. Transportation Concurrency: On March 13, 2017, the application was reviewed and approved for consistency with YMC 12.08 Transportation Capacity Management Ordinance. The development will not exceed the PM peak hour capacity of the City Arterial street system and reserve capacity exists on all impacted streets. This review does not include any site development or safety issues, which may be discussed at the project level or SEPA review. The review does not address intersection level of service. F. Statement of Cause: Class 2 Use: Pursuant to YMC § 15.14.030, the applicant has provided in the application the following statements explaining the compatibility of the proposed Class (2) Use (see Class (2) Narrative): "Yakima Neighborhood Health Services (YNHS) proposes to renovate a former grocery store for a multifamily residential development. The property is the former home to Roy's Market, a neighborhood grocery that has become severely blighted in recent years. The proposal will house no more than 40 residents, many of whom are disabled and are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless. In addition to the main kitchen and three shared bathrooms in the residential portion of the building, the project includes 5 bathrooms and kitchenettes that are shared by the residents of the dwelling unit and accessed via key card, residential storage, and large shared common amenity spaces for all residents. The proposal is no[t] intended to be utilized as a place of temporary sojourn, such as a mission as defined in the Yakima Municipal Code or a warming shelter. An operations plan for the proposal accompanies this application. The project will also contain a cafe and laundromat on the ground floor, which will be open to the public. Fifteen off-street parking spaces will be provided. YNHS will seek an administrative adjustment to reduce the required parking to 15 off-street parking spaces. The residents of the project typically live a car -free lifestyle and are not [t]he residents contemplated by the Code when determining its parking requirements... YNHS 3 00C. CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 & SEPA#027-16 I N110 EEX �ddA !!rr-1 • To improve the streetscape surrounding the project, improve stormwater management, and contribute to the residential character of the renovation, YNHS also requests that it be permitted to convert 2 on -street spaces along 6th Street and 3 on -street spaces along Walnut Street (5 total) to tree planting areas." 2. "The neighboring properties are primarily residential. The residential nature of the proposal is compatible with the surrounding residential uses. The proposal will provide the homeless that are currently in the surrounding area a place to live and connect with services so that the residents may transition to permanent housing. In order for the proposal to be effective, YNHS's services to its homeless clients must go to the need; the efficacy of these services are far less if YNHS simply expects individuals to come to them. By providing residents a safe to live in the area in which they already congregate, the proposal will have the added benefit of removing the homeless from staying on the streets and porches in the surrounding neighborhood. The cafe and laundromat are also services compatible with residential use that will contribute to the livability of the neighborhood. Through landscaping and exterior improvements, the proposal will provide safe, fenced outdoor space for its residents. This landscaped environment will provide an attractive corner location that better fits into the neighborhood fabric than the existing conditions." 3. "YNHS's proposed residential project has developed a detailed operation plan ... to help ensure the safety of its residents and the surrounding community. The indoor residential amenities and fenced outdoor space further provides a safe space for residents to gather on the property away from businesses and homes. YMHS will maintain the mid -201h Century style and massing of the dilapidated grocery store, but will upgrade it with 21 sl century finishes and incorporate new horizontal siding to reflect the residential character of the surrounding neighborhood. The property will be extensively landscaped with native vegetation and beautify what is today an unmaintained, unused, and unattractive concrete lot." 4. "Multifamily residential use is an allowed Class 2 use in the SCC zone. Both restaurant and laundromat uses are allowed Class (1) uses in this zone." 5. "The proposal is located in a SCC zone and is surrounded by areas predominately zoned R-1, R-2, and R-3. As discussed above, the residential nature of the proposal is compatible with the surrounding residential uses. The proposal will provide the homeless that area currently in the surrounding area a place to live and connect with services so that the residents may transition to permanent housing." 6. "As mentioned previously, the adjoining properties are residential in nature and regularly have homeless spending the night on porches or yards. Residents of the proposed multifamily development will have a consistent place to reside and will have indoor and outdoor amenity space in which to live during the day, away from business, and neighboring homes. The proposed use would give a safe, comfortable place for • homeless to live where they are not in danger or creating a burden on residents. The homeless benefit directly through a facility that will keep them from freezing in the winter and from having to sleep or live in dangerous situations in the community. YNHS 4 [DOC. CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 & SEPA#027-16 INDEX f ff��BB- • Moreover, the property will be extensively landscaped with native vegetation and beautify what is today an unmaintained, unused and unattractive concrete lot. The housing first model of service for homeless populations saves taxpayer money and mitigates many of the dangers homeless individuals face by living on the streets. It ensures that businesses and residents will not have to house the homeless on front porches and stoops and seeks to ensure that the residents will not have to face a Central Washington winter without shelter." Administrative Adjustment: Pursuant to YMC § 15.10.020, the applicant has provided in the application the following statements explaining the proposed adjustment to the off- street parking standard (see Administrative Adjustment Narrative): "Per the YMC requirements listed above, the required parking for this site would normally be 36. However, due to the specific characteristics of the population that will be housed, we feel that a substantial adjustment in the requirement is supported. The residents of the property are homeless or are at risk at becoming homeless and generally do not have cars. Accordingly, there is less need for parking than there would be at a traditional mixed-use development. As is supported by the following information, we propose 15 spaces of on-site parking. A 2014 study by Heffron Transportation (attached [to the application]) for a project in Ballard designed for a similar population provides a useful reference for the percentage • of the homeless population that utilizes personal vehicles for transportation. They found that at most (a conservative estimate) 5% of the population requires parking. From YNHS's experience with the chronic homeless population at the Depot, there have been three individuals with cars out of 260. Which is 1.1 % of the population. We therefore estimate that only one space will actually be required by building tenants at any given time. As this site is centrally located to downtown there are many stores, schools, parks, and services within close walking distance. Tenants will also be provided with bus passes. There are two bus stops on the same block as the site and the transit center is 2/10ths of a mile away, making it very convenient for the residents to utilize public transit. Additionally, the project proposal includes accommodations for bicycle parking both outside and inside the building. While not a part of the parking circulation, another factor for adjustment is the availability of on -street parking at the site. If there is ever a need for a higher volume of parking, there is adequate on -street parking that can be utilized, including thirteen angled and marked spaces that are intended to be beautified and refurbished by the YNHS project (refer to the site plan). Asphalt and impervious surfaces currently completely cover the site, with room for approximately 30 cars to park (lines are no longer visible). Strict enforcement of the current parking standard (36 spaces required) would not allow any new soft landscaping areas and would lead to underutilized paved areas. In addition, reducing the parking • requirement to 15 spaces will allow the removal of 15 existing on-site parking spaces and create a more sustainable onsite stormwater management system by reducing the amount of impervious lot coverage and adding landscaping to beautify the site." YNHS CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 & SEPA#027-16 5 00C. IN0Ex �, , i2. "By reducing the number of on-site parking spaces required we will be able to add much needed landscaping and create public and private outdoor spaces that are much more conducive to the residential feel of the neighborhood. Enforcing the current parking standard would require the creation of 6 new spots and further the commercial feel of the site putting it at odds with the residential neighborhood. Allowing the reduction of the parking spaces will still provide adequate parking for the development and will allow for a more welcoming residential look. It is not known if other adjustments have been granted nearby." 3. "The primary use is multifamily development, which is a Class (2) use and is undergoing a Type 3 Review. The building will be used primarily for multifamily residential with the restaurant and laundry uses serving as accessory uses. Those served by the residential and laundry uses will be primarily the residents of the multifamily residential use. As such there will be redundancy in parking requirement between the uses, and the allotment of spaces for restaurant and laundry uses should also reflect the reduced car ownership by residents. The existing condition of the lot is that it is 100% covered by impervious surface. Allowing us to remove the parking spaces requested will bring the impervious lot coverage to under 85% and bring the project in line with the current zoning standard for the property. The new use of the building (primarily residential) will result in less car trips and parking needs than the previous 100% mercantile use." • 4. "The neighboring properties are primarily residential. Reducing the number of parking spaces required allows us to create a landscape on the property that will look and feel more residential (like the yard of a single-family home) than the current unbroken plane of asphalt)" 5. "It is in the best interest of the community for this project to be a safe and attractive place for both the residents and the public. Maintaining the large, unattractive, and underutilized plane of asphalt that currently covers the site would detract from the rehabilitation and reuse of this site rather than enhance it. The residents of the property primarily live a care -free lifestyle, and the occupants of the building are adequately accommodated by 15 on-site spaces. Public transit will be the most utilized form of transportation by the residents. There is ample street parking, helping to meet the needs of residents, staff, and the public. Reducing the required parking allows us to improve the site to be more compatible with the neighborhood and enjoyable to the residents, staff, and community. G. Applicable Law: Applicable Law for this application may be found in Appendix "A". III. FINDINGS: 1. Zoning & Future Land Use Designation: The subject property is zoned Small Convenience Center (SCC), with an underlying Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Designation of Neighborhood Commercial. 2. Land Use Review Process: • As identified in II C. above, the subject development of a cafe/deli, laundromat, and multi- family residential development with reduced parking standard requires Type (1), (2), and Administrative Adjustment Review in accordance with YMC Ch. 15.10, 15.13 and 15.14. YNHS 6 DOC. CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 & SEPA#027-16 MD Further, in accordance with YMC §§ 15.11.070(C), 15.11.100, 15.14.020(A), the applications have been combined into a Master Application undergoing Type (2) Review with a public hearing to promote enhanced public review and compatibility. a. "Class (1) uses" are those uses set forth and defined in the text and tables of YMC Chapter 15.04 and are considered compatible and are permitted on any site in the district. The administrative official shall review Class (1) uses for compliance with the provisions and standards of this title. b. "Class (2) uses" are those uses set forth and defined in the text and tables of YMC Chapter 15.04 and are generally permitted throughout the district. However, site plan review by the administrative official is required in order to ensure compatibility with the intent and character of the district and the objectives of the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan. 3. Proposed Class 2 Use: The proposed Class 2 Use for Multi -Family Dwelling Units includes a total of 5 housing units, three with 4 bedrooms each and 2 with 5 bedrooms each, for a total of 22 bedrooms. Each of the 5 housing units include common kitchen and bathroom facilities for use by those individuals. There are also common area amenities for use by all residents including storage, recreation, and laundry facilities. The facility will be operated by an on-site Resident Manager under a proposed Operations Plan that includes the following items: • a. YNHS will execute a written lease with each resident at time of occupancy. b. Residents shall pay rent in kind. c. Month to month tenancy, not to exceed 24 months. d. Tenant or landlord may terminate the agreement with at least 20 days' notice. e. Destruction of property, unlawful activity, drugs, etc. are grounds for a three-day notice and departure from the facility. There is no option to stay and correct the problem. f. The facility will develop rules that tenants are obligated to follow as part of the terms and conditions of the lease. g. Residents can come and go as they please and may return to their unit each night, they should return by 10pm each night. h. Residents will be assigned a storage unit to store belongings. Small, personal belongings may be stored in the resident's unit. i. Guests must register with the Resident Manager. The Manager has the right to turn away guest who are loud or are known to be currently drinking or drugging. j. Guests are allowed in the facility and in common areas if accompanied by a resident and must leave the facility by 10:00pm. k. Residents may decorate their unit but cannot paint or otherwise damage the walls or furniture without approval from the Resident Manager. I. Residents are permitted to use the telephone and receive calls from 9:00am — 10:00pm, and may also receive and pickup mail at the facility. m. Service animals are allowed. 4. Site Design and Improvement Standards: a. Lot Coverage: Lot coverage in the SCC zoning district in accordance with YMC Ch. 15.05 Table 5-1 is limited to 85%. The subject site is currently built at 100% coverage. The applicant's site plan dated February 17, 2017, identifies that upon YNHS 7 00Co CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 & SEPA#027-16 RNDEx #-,4-/ • completion of site renovation and landscaping the subject property will have 75% lot coverage. b. Structure Setbacks: YMC Ch. 15.05 Table 5-1 identifies that the subject building is required to be setback 30 ft. from the centerline of S. 6th St., 30 ft. from the centerline of E. Walnut St., and 20 ft. from the abutting alley and residential districts. The existing building and applicants' February 17, 2017, site plan meets or exceeds these standards with the exception of the east property line abutting the alley, which is considered legal non -conforming. c. Maximum Building Height: Maximum building height in the SCC zoning district per YMC CH. 15.05 Table 5-1 is restricted to 35 feet in height. As indicated in the applicant's State Environmental Policy Act Checklist, the renovated building will be no greater than its current 24 ft. in height complying with this standard. d. Access: In accordance with YMC § 15.05.020(H) all new development shall have a minimum of twenty feet of lot frontage upon a public road or be served by a twenty foot access easement. The proposed development meets this standard with at least twenty feet of frontage both E. Walnut St. and S. 6th St, and existing access onto S. 6th St. e. Sidewalks: In accordance with YMC § 15.05.020(J), sidewalks are required with new construction if one exists within two -hundred feet of the development on the same side of the street. As sidewalk exists along both streets, the applicant will be required to repair the existing sidewalk in accordance with YMC § 12.05.010 and the requirements of the City Engineer. f. Minimum Lot Size: Although the subject developer is not proposing any subdivision of land, the proposed parcel meets the minimum lot size for the SCC zoning district of 10,000 sq. ft. for non-residential purposes with a lot size of 28,755 sq. ft. There is no minimum lot size for multi -family residential in the SCC zone. Rather, Table 5-2 states "Density may not exceed maximum number of dwelling units permitted per net residential acre." At 0.66 acres, the proposed land use of multi -family residential development: 0 — 7 dwelling units per net residential acre allows for 5 total units as a Class (2) use — 0.66 x 7 = 4.62, rounded up to 5 total units per YMC § 15.05.030. g. Driveway Vision Clearance: All proposed driveways shown on the applicant's February 17, 2017, site plan meet the provisions of YMC § 15.05.040(B). h. Dedication of Street right-of-way: The existing right-of-way along both public streets are adequate and no dedication of right-of-way is required. 5. Off -Street Parking and Loading: a. Parking Circulation Plan: The applicant's site plan dated February 17, 2017, shows sufficient detail to meet the provisions of YMC § 15.06.030 (E), and shall be considered the parking circulation plan for this application. Furthermore, the City of Yakima Traffic Engineer and City Engineer reviewed the subject site plan and did not identify any parking circulation issues during the City of Yakima's Development Service Team meeting for this application. b. Existing Parking: In accordance with YMC 15.06 Table 6-1 Table of Off -Street Parking Standards the previous grocery store would have been required to have approximately 46 parking spaces based upon a floor area of 13,748 sq. ft., and a requirement to have one parking stall per 300 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The poor • condition of the parking lot makes it difficult to determine if the required number of parking stalls were painted upon the lot; however, the lot seems to have sufficient area to accommodate them. YNHS 8 Doc. CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 & SEPA#027-16N.D c. Proposed Use Parking: i. Based upon the uses of multi -family residential development with five dwelling units (2 space per dwelling: (5 dwellings X 2 = 10 spaces)), cafe/deli (1 space per 50 sq. ft. of indoor public floor area: (1,200 sq. ft. / 50 = 24 spaces)), and laundromat (1 space per 300 sq. ft. of gross floor area: 400 sq. ft. / 300 = 1.3 = 2 space), the subject development is required to provide 36 parking stalls. ii. As part of their Master Application, the applicants have requested an Administrative Adjustment of the parking standards under YMC Ch. 15.10 to reduce the combined parking standard from 36 spaces to 15 spaces. iii. The applicant submitted a study by Heffron Transportation Inc. which studied the parking demands of five low-income senior housing projects in the greater Seattle area to compare to this project in support of the submitted Administrative Adjustment. The study concluded that 5% of the senior population required vehicle parking. Based upon this information YNHS further projected that the homeless population that they serve likely only requires one parking stall per dwelling unit. iv. Although YMC 15.06.040 Table 6-1 provides that the parking standard for multi -family dwellings is 2 parking stalls per dwelling unit, this standard does not account for a reduced living area, or other living arrangements • provided by the definition of "family" in YMC 15.02. Therefore, the Administrative Official has utilized the 3rd Edition Parking Generation Institute of Transportation Engineers Manual Land Use: 221 Low/Mid-Rise Apartment (Average Peak Period Parking Demand vs: Dwelling Units on a: Weekday Location: Urban) parking generation rate to affirm the applicant's proposed parking standard of one parking stall per dwelling unit. This standard reduces the parking requirements from ten required parking stalls to five. v. In regard to the parking generation rates for both the cafe/deli, and laundromat, the applicant has indicated in their SEPA Checklist and narrative that these two uses are to be accessory to the multi -family housing development. Therefore, in accordance with YMC 15.06.020," off- street parking and loading spaces that are not a principal use are accessory uses and shall be subject to the same procedures and review requirements of the principal use" thus requiring no additional parking. However, as the applicant has not provided any hours of operation for the two uses, as a condition of approval the hours should be limited to 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. vi. The applicant indicated in their SEPA Checklist that the site will have eight staff members, therefore the Administrative Official is recommending that an additional eight parking stall be added to the parking standard for this use. • vii. Based upon the above reduce parking standards, the Administrative Official is recommending that a minimum of thirteen off-street parking stalls YNHS 9 Doc. CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 & SEPA#027-16 INDEX # • are required for this use. The applicant's site plan provides fifteen off-street parking stalls. d. Additional Parking Considerations: i. The subject property is presently bordered by adjacent on -street parking on East Walnut and South 6th Streets. The angled parking on South 61h Street can remain. The angled parking on East Walnut shall be converted to parallel parking. Upon approval, the applicant shall submit an application for a street modification permit to the City of Yakima Streets and Operations Division for review and approval; ii. The subject site has two transit stops located on the same block, and the transit center is located within 2/10ths of a mile; and iii. The proposed multi -family housing will provide provisions for bicycle storage. e. Driveway Locations: The proposed driveways meet the provisions of YMC § 15.06.065 for one-way travel and shall be signed accordingly. f. Landscaping of Parking Areas: The submitted site plan identifies that the parking lot will be landscaped with trees, shrubs, and groundcover at 17% in accordance with YMC § 15.06.090. The applicant will be required to submit a landscaping plan to the City of Yakima Planning Division for review and approval which meet the is provisions of YMC § 15.06.090 prior to building permit issuance which incorporates any conditions of approval required by the Hearing Examiner. g. Lighting of Parking Lots: The submitted site plan does not identify any proposed lighting of the parking lot. As the proposed building and parking lot will be used at night, the applicant shall submit a parking lot lighting plan to the City of Yakima Planning Division for review and approval which utilizes down -shielded lights that does not create light pollution in accordance with YMC § 15.06.100. 6. Site Screening: In accordance with YMC § 15.07.050 Table 7-1, and 15.07.060, Site screening standard "A" is required along the east and west property lines. However, in an effort to create a physical separation/buffer from the proposed use and the surrounding residences, in accordance with YMC § 15.07.030 site screening standard "C" "a six-foot high, view obscuring fence, made of wood, masonry block, concrete, or slatted chain link material..." is required to be installed along the south and west property lines. Site Screening standard "C" shall also be installed along the alley (east property line), excepting the area for the proposed access driveway. The purpose of site screening is "to provide a visual buffer between uses of different intensity, streets and structures; reduce erosion and stormwater runoff; protect property values; and eliminate potential land use conflicts by mitigating adverse impacts from dust, odor, litter, noise, glare, lights, signs, water runoff, buildings or parking areas." (YMC § 15.07.010) • 7. Signs: The applicant's site plan does not identify any proposed signage. Therefore, any future signage shall comply with the provisions of YMC Ch. 15.08 for the SCC zoning district. YNHS 10 DOC. CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 & SEPA#027-16 p�� X • 8. Development Service Team Comments: a. Engineering: This project requires Title 8 and 12 improvements, including but not limited to the following: YMC 8.64 — A new commercial driveway approach is required, which meets the requirements of this chapter and standard detail R4. 2. YMC 8.67 and YMC 12.05 — Where commercial driveway is removed, new curb, gutter and sidewalk shall be installed and match width of existing sidewalk. Existing sidewalk along frontage that is unfit or unsafe shall also be repaired/replaced. New sidewalk shall be constructed per standard detail R5. 3. YMC 8.72 — An excavation and street break permit shall be obtained for all work within the public right of way. N. 6th St. was part of the 2014 Grind and Overlay project. Refer to chapter for requirements. Roads less than five years old can be cut, but will cost one hundred fifty percent of restoration fee with no PCI discount. 4. Walnut Street angled parking cannot be continued. The sidewalk and other public improvements, along with curbing, must be rebuilt to City standards. If parallel parking is desired, the curb alignment will have to be proposed for change on civil engineering site plans. b. Traffic Engineering: The plan shows the continued use of angled parking on the 6th Street and Walnut Avenue frontages. The 6th Street parking may continue to be used as shown on the submitted concept plan. Vertical curbing or other barrier is required to separate the parking area from the sidewalk. Final design of curbing and landscaping is subject to review of the civil engineering site plans. There does not appear to be enough space between the sidewalk and the curb line to allow angled parking on Walnut Avenue. A stall depth of 19'-8" is required for 45 degree parking where this location only has 17'-1" from the building face to the curb line. The curb cut back area could be modified to allow parallel parking. Vertical curbing or other barrier is required to separate the parking area from the sidewalk. Final design of curbing and landscaping is subject to review of the civil engineering site plans. The sidewalk along the Walnut Avenue frontage is in poor condition. The entire length needs to be reconstructed to city standards. The proposed parking area is also in poor condition and should be reconstructed. The unused driveway approach on 6th Ave must be closed with new vertical curbing. The submitted plan does show the drive aisle width for on-site parking. The requirement is 24 feet. • d.

Public Comments and Potential Mitigation: The twenty -day public comment period for this master application occurred from March 1, 2017, to March 21, 2017. At the conclusion of the public comment period, the City of Yakima received three public comments addressing the environmental impacts and compatibility of the proposed use and parking adjustment. The first comment was received from the Yakima Regional Clean Air Agency • and is provided in its entirety in section 7 (g) above. The second public comment was received from a surrounding property owner who conditionally supported the project provided that the applicant provides a written plan addressing the control of the numbers of occupants, loitering around existing businesses, and garbage left by the occupants of the facility. The third public comment clarified future correspondence contacts with the office of Rural and Farmworker Housing. 12. Class (2) Use Compatibility of Proposed Use & Surroundings: The Yakima Municipal Code Ch. 15.02 defines Compatibility as "the characteristics of different uses or developments that permit them to be located near each other in harmony with or without special mitigation measures." The City's definition of "Dwelling unit" is defined as one or more rooms in a dwelling for the occupancy of one family and providing complete and independent living facilities, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, cooking, eating and sanitation." Additionally, it also defines a multiple -family dwelling as "a structure or structures, or portion thereof, designed for occupancy by three or more families living independently of each other and containing three or more attached dwelling units on a lot." The City's definition of "Family" (YMC Ch. 15.02) which is consistent state law, allows the following groups to live in a dwelling: 1. An unlimited numbers of individuals that consists of two or more persons related by blood, marriage or adoption; • 2. A group of not more than five persons, excluding servants, who are not related by blood, adoption or marriage, living together as a single housekeeping unit; YNHS 14 o0c. CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 & SEPA#027-16 INDEX _1 3. State -licensed adult family homes required to be recognized as residential uses 0 pursuant to RCW 70.128.175; 4. State -licensed foster family homes and group care facilities as defined in RCW 74.15.180; and 5. Group homes for the disabled and consensual living arrangements equivalent to a familial setting required to be accommodated as residential uses pursuant to the Fair Housing Act and the Washington Housing Policy Act, RCW 35.63.220 and 35A.63.240, respectively. The proposed multi -family residential development has been designed in a manner that is consistent with the above definitions and can be considered compatible with the surrounding predominantly residential neighborhood. The properties immediately adjacent to the site consist of single-family, duplex, and multi -family structures. Furthermore, within a 500 -foot radius, there are a total of 28 two -to -four unit structures and 10 five -plus unit structures. The applicant's proposed Operations Plan further demonstrates compatibility by executing a written lease with each resident, limiting the amount of guests, and providing for the removal of people whose actions do not align with the agreement, among others. To further promote compatibility, the Administrative Official is recommending site screening standard "C" along the south, west, and east property lines. As noted in section • III. 6. above, site screening is intended to eliminate potential land use conflicts by mitigating adverse impacts from dust, litter, noise, glare, lights, signs, water runoff, buildings or parking areas. 13. Administrative Adjustment Findings: The proposed Administrative Adjustment was reviewed against the applicable criteria of YMC § 15.10.020, and the Administrative Official finds as follows: a. Coordinate site features with surrounding land uses and physical features: The proposed parking adjustment coordinates the site features with the surrounding land uses and physical features as it will provide sufficient parking for the proposed multi -family housing use, allow the subject parking lot to meet the 10% landscaping requirement of YMC § 15.06090, and the 85% lot coverage requirement of YMC § 15.05 Table 5-1 for the SCC zoning district. Furthermore, approval of the Administrative Adjustment will allow the applicants to create a fenced outdoor area, which is landscaped in which the occupants of the multi- family dwelling can congregate during the day separate from the surrounding neighborhood. The required site screening along east, west and south property lines will restrict the view of the proposed use from the surrounding single-family dwellings, and limit potential conflicts from the occupants of the proposed use. b. Flexibility of design and placement of structures and other site improvement that is the minimum adjustment necessary to accommodate the proposed structure or site improvement: The Administrative Adjustment request is the minimum necessary to meet the City's design standards for lot coverage and landscaping of the subject parking lot while still providing a sufficient number of parking stalls to meet the buildings parking demand. Additionally, although the YNHS CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16 & SEPA#027-16 15 DOC. IND EX # - • sites on -street parking cannot be used to substitute for required off-street parking stalls, there will be several on -street parking stalls that can be utilized by any member of the traveling public in the event that there are additional visitors to the multi -family dwelling or surrounding neighborhood. IV. CONCLUSIONS: A. Class (2) Use: The proposed multi -family residential development, cafe/deli, laundromat is compliant with the purpose and intent of the SCC zoning district and compatible with the adjacent land uses and immediate neighborhood. B. Comprehensive Plan: The proposed development is in compliance with the above identified Goals and Policies of the City of Yakima's 2015 Comprehensive Plan, and will be in harmony with, and not detrimental to the character of the existing residential neighborhood. C. Development Standards Compliance: The site is currently in conformance with all Urban Area Zoning Ordinance standards with the exception of off-street parking. However, an Administrative Adjustment application has been submitted to reduce the parking standard to make it compatible with the proposed use. - D. Public Infrastructure: The subject property is presently served by all necessary public utilities. • E. Administrative Adjustment: 1. This request requires an Administrative Adjustment to the development standards of YMC § 15.06 — Off Street Parking and Loading. 2. The request meets, or does not apply to, the five criteria for an Administrative Adjustment, and is consistent with the intent and purpose of YMC Ch. 15.10. 3. The proposed parking adjustment is compatible with the surrounding, properties and neighborhood as it appropriately coordinates the site features with the surrounding land uses and is the minimum necessary to accommodate the proposed use and required parking. V. Recommendation: Inasmuch as the proposed uses are consistent with the SCC zoning district, and based upon the above findings and conclusions, the City of Yakima hereby recommends approval of the Type (2), and Administrative Adjustment review applications (CL2#020-16, ADJ#020-16), subject to the following conditions: 1.

SCC Zoning District Defined (YMC § 15.03.020 (H)): The purpose and intent of the small convenience center district is to: Provide areas for commercial activities outside the downtown commercial district that meet community retail shopping and service needs; and 2. Accommodate small commercial centers, generally two to five acres in size, where most of the commercial uses have located in a coordinated manner around a common parking lot and one major commercial approach driveway. Small convenience centers serve the day-to-day convenience shopping and service needs of the surrounding neighborhood and should be designed to minimize undesirable impacts of the center on the neighborhood it serves. Uses in this district should be retail or personal service establishments dealing directly with the consumer, the primary occupants usually being such uses as a supermarket, fast food restaurants and drug store. 2. Accessory Use Defined (YMC § 15.02.020): "Accessory use" means a use that is subordinate and incidental to a principal use. 3. Accessory uses (YMC § 15.04.060): A. Generally. An accessory use is a use customarily incidental and subordinate to • the principal use of a structure or site. Accessory uses are permitted upon compliance with the terms and provisions of this title. They must be clearly secondary to, supportive of, and compatible with the principal use(s) and consistent with the purpose and intent of the zoning district. The land use classification and review requirements of an accessory use shall be the same as that of the principal use(s), unless otherwise specified... 4. YMC § 15.10.020 — Administrative Adjustment of Some Development Standards Authorized The purpose of this section is to provide flexibility by allowing certain development standards in YMC Chapters 15.05 through 15.08 to be administratively adjusted. A particular standard may be reduced or modified, so long as the Administrative Official determines that the adjustment and/or reduction is consistent with the intent and purpose of the standards, and will accomplish one or more of the following objectives: a. Allow buildings to be sited in a manner which maximizes solar access; b. Allow zero lot line or common wall construction in conformance with the provisions; c. Coordinate development with adjacent land uses and the physical features; d. Permit flexibility in the design and placement of structures and other site improvements that is the minimum adjustment necessary to accommodate • the proposed structure or site improvement; or YNHS 18 Doc.

Class (2) Land Use Defined (YMC § 15.04.020 (B)): Class (2) uses are generally permitted in the district. However, the compatibility between a Class (2) use and the surrounding environment cannot be determined in advance, and occasionally a Class (2) use may be incompatible at a particular location. Therefore, a Type (2) land use review is required in order to promote compatibility with the intent and character of the district and the policies and development criteria of the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. 6. Special conditions authorized (YMC § 15.10.030 (A) (2)): In accordance with YMC § 15.10.030(A) (2), "[the] reviewing official may impose conditions to mitigate any identified specific or general negative impacts of the development, whether environmental or otherwise." 7.

The 6th Avenue parking may continue to be used as shown on the submitted concept plan. Vertical curbing or other barrier is required to separate the parking area from the sidewalk. Final design of curbing and landscaping is subject to review of the civil engineering site plans. A& There does not appear to be enough space between the sidewalk and the curb line to allow angled parking on Walnut Avenue. A stall depth of 19'-8" is required for 45 degree parking where this location only has 17'-1" from the building face to the curb line. The curb cut back area could be modified to allow parallel parking. Vertical curbing or other barrier is required to separate the parking area from the sidewalk. Final design of curbing and landscaping is subject to review of the civil engineering site plans. The sidewalk along the Walnut Avenue frontage is in poor condition. The entire length needs to be reconstructed to city standards. The proposed parking area is also in poor condition and should be reconstructed. The unused driveway approach on 6th Ave must be closed with new vertical curbing. The submitted plan does show the drive aisle width for on-site parking. The requirement is 24 feet. DOC.

This project requires Title 8 and 12 improvements, including but not limited to the following: 8.64 – A new commercial driveway approach is required, which meets the requirements of this chapter and standard detail R4. 8.67 and 12.05 – Where commercial driveway is removed, new curb, gutter and sidewalk shall be installed and match width of existing sidewalk. Existing sidewalk along frontage that is unfit or unsafe shall also be repaired/replaced. New sidewalk shall be constructed per standard detail R5. 8.72 – An excavation and street break permit shall be obtained for all work within the public right of way. N. 6th St. was part of the 2014 Grind and Overlay project. Refer to chapter for requirements. Roads less than five years old can be cut, but will cost one hundred fifty percent of restoration fee with no PCI discount. Walnut Street angled parking cannot be continued. The sidewalk and other public improvements, along with curbing, must be rebuilt to City standards. If parallel parking is desired, the curb alignment will have to be proposed for change on civil engineering site plans.

MEX -1ECEI ED 2017. • Additional information for SEPA Application UF YAKIMA DIV 8 Type of Application: The proposed primary use is a multifamily development, which is a Class 2 use and is undergoing a Type 3 Review. The building will be used primarily for multifamily residential with the restaurant and laundry uses serving as accessory uses. Regular meetings will be held with the City to ensure it is consistent with local zoning. 10 c. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any: This is a renovation of an existing building. Immediately upon closing on the property, YNHS took the initiative to paint the exterior of the existing building to mitigate the blighting impacts of the wear and tear and graffiti marks that were present on site at the time of purchase. The proposed renovations to the building will place continuous cementitious siding to reflect the new mostly -residential nature of the building use and to blend in with the surrounding residential neighborhood. The new siding will be painted, and any new graffiti marks will be quickly removed by re -painted the affected areas. In addition, the existing aesthetic impact will be improved through new landscaping and site screening. This landscaping will include two dozen new trees to improve the site that is currently 100% paved and devoid of trees and landscaping. Site screening will be accomplished through a combination of dense trees and view -obscuring fencing. 13 a. Are there any buildings, structures, or sites, located on or near the site that are over 45 years old listed in or eligible for listing in national, state, or local preservation registers located on or near the site? If so, specifically describe. There are 3 properties located within a 3 block radius of the property that are listed on the National Register; the Potter, H.W House at 305 S 4th St, the Brooker -Taylor House at 203 S Naches Ave, and the Powell, Ida House at 207 S Union St. However, our proposed use of this site will have no impact on these properties. 14 f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project or proposal? If known, indicate when peak volumes would occur and what percentage of the volume would be trucks (such as commercial and non -passenger vehicles). What data or transportation models were used to make these estimates? The following estimates were derived from the 9th Edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Handbook. Apartments Land Use 220: trip generation per dwelling unit .67 average rate, peak PM generation • weekdays, with 5 dwelling units the trip generation would be 3.35 peak PM trips. Coffee/Donut Shop without drive-through Land Use 936: trip generation per 1,000 square feet gross floor area 25.81 average rate, peak PM generation weekdays, 1,200 gross floor area of proposed coffee 100C® WDEX .A 6-1 shop would generate 30.97 peak PM trips. We anticipate 2 light trucks per day on average. We don't anticipate any large commercial vehicles. Specialty Retail Center (Laundromat) Land Use 826: trip generation per 1,000 square feet gross leasable area 5.02 average rate, peak PM generation weekdays, gross leasable area of proposed Laundromat is 400 square feet would generate 2 peak PM trips. The total PM Peak hour trips utilizing LTE estimates is 36.32 trips. The most frequent user group of the restaurant and the Laundromat uses is anticipated to be the inhabitants of the residential component of the mixed-use development and neighbors within walking distance of the project. In addition, as this site is centrally located to downtown, there are many stores, schools, parks, and services within close walking distance. Residents will also be provided with bus passes. There are two bus stops on the same block as the site and the transit center is 2/10ths of a mile away, making it very convenient for the residents to utilize public transit. Additionally, the project proposal includes accommodations for bicycle parking both outside and inside the building. Accordingly, the project's location, access to public transportation, and the low rate of car ownership by residents will result in the actual number of trips being significantly less than the estimated number of average and peak trips per ITE. A 2014 study by Heffron Transportation (attached) for a project in Ballard designed for a similar population provides a useful reference for the percentage of the homeless population that utilizes personal vehicles for transportation. They found that at most (a conservative estimate) 5% of the population requires parking. From YNHS's experience with the chronic homeless population in Yakima at the Depot, there have been 3 individuals with cars out of 260. Which is 1.1% of the population with privately owned vehicles. 16 Utilities 1.6. Utilities a.

A. Per the YMC requirements listed above, the required parking for this site would normally be 36. However, due to the specific characteristics of the population that will be housed, we feel that a substantial adjustment in the requirement is supported. The residents of the property are homeless or are at risk at becoming homeless and generally do not have cars. Accordingly, there is less need for parking than there would be at a traditional mixed-use development. As is supported by the following information, we propose 15 spaces of on-site parking. A 2014 study by Heffron Transportation (attached) for a project in Ballard designed for a similar population provides a useful reference for the percentage of the homeless population that utilizes personal vehicles for transportation. They found that at most (a conservative estimate) 5% of the population requires parking. From YNHS's experience with the chronic homeless population at the Depot, there have been 3 individuals with cars out of 260. Which is 1.1% of the population. We therefore estimate that only one space will actually be required by building tenants at any given time. As this site is centrally located to downtown there are many stores, schools, parks, and services within close walking distance. Tenants will also be provided with bus passes. There are two bus stops on the same block as the site and the transit center is 2/10ths of a mile away, making it very convenient for the residents to utilize public transit. Additionally, the project proposal includes accommodations for bicycle parking both outside and inside the building. While not a part of the parking calculation, another factor for adjustment is the availability of on -street parking at the site. If there is ever a need for a higher volume of parking, there is adequate on -street parking that can be utilized, including thirteen angled and marked spaces that are intended to be beautified and refurbished by the YNHS project (refer to the site plan). Asphalt and impervious surfaces currently completely cover the site, with room for approximately 30 cars to park (lines are no longer visible). Strict enforcement of the current parking standard (36 spaces required) would not allow any new soft landscaping areas and L N Wig *EX ip would lead to underutilized paved areas. In addition, reducing the parking requirement to 15 spaces will allow the removal of 15 existing on-site parking spaces and create a more sustainable onsite stormwater management system by reducing the amount of impervious lot coverage and adding landscaping to beautify the site. B. By reducing the number of on-site parking spaces required we will be able to add much needed landscaping and create public and private outdoor spaces that are much more conducive to the residential feel of the neighborhood. Enforcing the current parking standard would require the creation of 6 new spots and further the commercial feel of the site putting it at odds with the residential neighborhood. Allowing the reduction of the parking spaces will still provide adequate parking for the development and will allow for a more welcoming residential look. It is not known if other adjustments have been granted nearby. C. The primary use is a multifamily development, which is a Class 2 use and is undergoing a Type 3 Review. The building will be used primarily for multifamily residential with the restaurant and laundry uses serving as accessory uses. Those served by the residential and laundry uses will be primarily the residents of the multifamily residential use. As such there will be redundancy in parking requirements between the uses, and the allotment of spaces for restaurant and laundry uses should also reflect the reduced car ownership by residents. The existing condition of the lot is that it is 1009/. covered by impervious surface. Allowing us to ® remove the parking spaces requested will bring the impervious lot coverage to under 85% and bring the project in line with the current zoning standard for the property. The new use of the building (primarily residential) will result in less car trips and parking needs than the previous 100% mercantile use. D. The neighboring properties are primarily residential. Reducing the number of parking spaces required allows us to create a landscape on the property that will look and feel more residential (like the yard of a single family home) than the current unbroken plane of asphalt. E. It is in the best interest of the community for this project to be a safe and attractive place for both the residents and the public. Maintaining the large, unattractive, and underutilized plane of asphalt that currently covers the site would detract from the rehabilitation and reuse of this site rather than enhance it. The residents of the property primarily live a car -free lifestyle, and the occupants of the building are adequately accommodated by 15 on-site spaces. Public transit will be the most utilized form of transportation by the residents. There is ample street parking, helping to meet the needs of residents, staff, and the public. Reducing the required parking allows us to improve the site to be more compatible with the neighborhood and enjoyable to the residents, staff, and community. RECEIVED DOC.

Due to the guidance provided by the City of Yakima, YNHS was able to make sure that the application submitted to you today complies with the City's Urban Area Zoning Ordinance and the Settlement Agreement • entered into on September 21, 2016, between the City and YNHS. The proposed project will house no more than 40 residents, many of whom are disabled and are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless. The proposal is designed to accommodate the vulnerable population it will serve, but is not intended to be utilized as a place of temporary- sojourn, such as a mission as defined in the Yakima Municipal Code or a warming shelter. As required by the Settlement Agreement and the Type II Application, YNHS includes with its application a draft Operations Plan, a SEPA Checklist, and a request for an Administrative Adjustment to reduce the required off-street parking requirements to 15 parking spaces. YNHS also requests that it be permitted to convert 2 on -street spaces along 6th Street and 3 on -street spaces along Walnut Street (5 total) to tree planting areas to improve the streetscape surrounding the project, improve stormwater management, and contribute to the residential character of the renovation. As discussed in our meeting on Tuesday, the mechanism for converting the parking spaces to tree planting areas is unclear. To the extent a Right of Way use permit or other permit is required, YNHS will submit such application when directed to do so by the City YNHS believes that the proposed application complies 'With Yakima's Urban Area Zoning Ordinance. To the extent that the proposal is deemed not to be code -compliant, YNHS accordingly requests a reasonable accommodation under the FHAA and YT11vIC 15.09.110 so that the project as described in YNHS's Type II Application may be permitted to proceed.

Administrative Adjustment Application: The Adjustment application and supportive narrative for a reduction of the parking standard from 34 parking stalls to 15 proposed stalls is not complete. a. Under question number two of the application, the zoning ordinance parking standard is based upon the number of dwelling units, square footage of the indoor public eating area, and gross square footage of the laundromat. This question does not identify the break down in the total number of parking stalls required, although it is listed on the site plan. 0- ritIV-5 6rfrQn Accredited by the Joint Commission Patient Centered Medical Home Level DOC.

Please describe how and why the proposed parking adjustment and design are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and zoning standards. Service population, fewer cars for population, availability of bus passes, and bicycles are considerations that should be taken into account in requesting an Administrative Adjustment. Additionally, on -street parking cannot be counted towards a uses off- street parking requirement, however, it may be utilized as a factor for adjustment of the parking standards. Refer to the revised Administrative Adjustment Application text, which includes information related to the service population, the availability of bus passes and bicycles, and reference to the on -street spaces as a factor for adjustment. 2.

The property is the former home to Roy's Market, a neighborhood grocery store that has become severely blighted in recent years. The proposal will house no more than 40 residents, many of whom are disabled and are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless. In addition to the main kitchen and three shared bathrooms in the residential portion of the building, the project includes 5 bathrooms and kitchenettes that are shared by the residents of the dwelling unit and accessed via key card, residential storage, and large shared common amenity spaces for all residents. The proposal is designed to accommodate the vulnerable population it will serve, and the details regarding the demised residences shown in the attached site plan. The proposal is not intended to be utilized as a place of temporary sojourn, such as a mission as defined in the Yakima Municipal Code or a warming shelter. An operations plan for the proposal accompanies this application. The project will also contain a cafe and Laundromat on the ground floor, which will be open to the public. Fifteen off-street parking spaces will be provided. YNHS will seek an administrative adjustment to reduce the required parking to 15 off-street parking spaces. The residents of the project typically live a car -free lifestyle and are not the residents contemplated by the Code when determining its parking requirements. The administrative adjustment application accompanies this application. To improve the streetscape surrounding the project, improve stormwater management, and contribute to the residential character of the renovation, YNHS also requests that it be permitted to convert 2 on -street spaces along 6th Street and 3 on -street spaces along Walnut Street (5 total) to tree planting areas.

YNHS will maintain the mid -20th Century style and massing of the dilapidated grocery store, but will upgrade it with 21s' century finishes and incorporate new horizontal siding to • reflect the residential character of the surrounding neighborhood.

The proposed use would give a safe, comfortable place for homeless to live where they are not in danger or creating a burden on residents. The homeless benefit directly through a facility that will keep them from freezing in the winter and from having to sleep or live in dangerous situations in the community. Moreover, the property will be extensively landscaped with native vegetation and beautify what is today an unmaintained, unused, and unattractive concrete lot. The housing first model of service for homeless populations saves taxpayer money and mitigates many of the dangers homeless individuals face by living on the streets.

Julie Bussing heffron a .�r a,r�:_s� .airy. ;a4����a i�►in�c'r; PRECEIVED F E 3 1 7 2017 CIT`' Or YAKIMA P A _.._. o__ ­' The Low Income Housing Institute (LiHI) is proposing to build a low-income senior housing project in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. The site is located at 2014 NW 57'' Street. This memorandum addresses the potential parking needs for this facility. 1. What is the purpose of this study? The proposed Ballard Senior Housing project would construct 51 apartment units for low-income seniors plus about 1,948 square feet of commercial space. Eligible seniors are defined as age 62 plus, and earning • 50% or below the area's median income. In addition, 10% of the housing will be set aside for homeless seniors. LIHI is seeking funding from the US Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 202 program. HUD requires that a minimum number of parking spaces be provided unless it can be proven that they are not needed. Therefore, in accordance with the HUD guidelines, this study has been performed to determine the following: • The parking demand generated by the proposed Ballard Senior Housing project based on the experience of other low-income senior housing projects in Seattle. • The parking supply that could be accommodated in the immediate vicinity of the proposed site, either by available on -street parking or off-street parking lots. 2. What is the parking demand for other low-income senior housing projects? Administrative staff of five low-income senior housing facilities in the Seattle area were interviewed related to each facility's parking characteristics. Interview questions regarded on-site parking supply; the parking demand by residents, staff, caregivers, and visitors; and what types of transportation facilities or programs (e.g., public bus service or shuttles) might be available to residents. The following five facilities were included in this survey, and are described in Table 1 below: - 1 - December 4, 2012 DOC. • Cabrini First Hill • Cascade Senior • Providence Elizabeth • Providence Gamelin • Providence Vincent • - 1 - December 4, 2012 DOC. Ballard Senior Housing Parking Needs Study • The parking supply and demand varied significantly for the five facilities. At Providence Vincent in Downtown Seattle, no on-site parking is provided and on -street parking is very limited. The residents and many of their visitors use public transportation. Additionally, only one staff member parks in a nearby lot and the other two staff use public transportation. At Providence Elizabeth in West Seattle, there are 20 on- site parking spaces provided for residents of which 17 are used. Staff, visitors, and other personnel use on -street parking. As indicated by staff, amenities to the senior facility are at a greater distance and vehicles are of more necessity for their residents. The staff at all of the surveyed facilities generally had detailed information on parking for staff and residents. However, most did not have good information about the number of daily visitors, caregivers, choregivers, and maintenance personal that parked off-site. Anecdotally, most of the caregiver and other personnel were on site during workday hours, while many of the visitors occur in the evening. To estimate the number of vehicles associated with visitors and others, it was assumed that 5% of the units would generate this type of use during the peak when most staff are at the site. This assumption is based on a past study that Heffron Transportation performed for the Emerald Heights senior housing project in Redmond, Washington for which visitor log records were obtained.' Staff from all five senior housing facilities indicated that public transportation, including Access (on - demand service provided by King County Metro), and various other shuttle services provided by groups such as Hopelink and Hyde Senior Shuttle are well utilized by the residents. Table 1 summarizes the parking characteristics of each facility surveyed for this study. A parking demand rate based on the number of units was then determined. As shown, the parking demand rates (in vehicles per unit) ranged from 0.07 to 0.32 with an average of 0.21 vehicles per unit. The highest rates were • associated with the facilities that provided the most on-site parking while the lowest rate was associated with the downtown facility that provided no on-site parking. Emerald Heights in Redmond, WA has 401 units of which 290 are independent living and 1 1 1 that are assisted living or congregate care. a, Visitors are required to sign in and the time ofenuy and exit are recorded. On most days, peak visiting times were over the lunch hour and in the early afternoon before dinner. N(ost days had 8 to 12 visitors on the site simultaneously during these times. Peak visitation occurred on Saturdays and Sundays around special frictions at the complex, such as a brunch, when up to 30 visitors could be at the site. However, at those times, there • were fewer staff at the site Therefore, for parking purposes, it was assumed that parking demand could increase by 0.05 vehicles per unit (5%) related to visitors. he fron - 2 - December 4, 2012 y� %W* _ _ - WDEX • • Ballard Senior Housing Parking Needs Study Table 1.

Additionally, there are several amenities for residents to utilize within the two block area of the proposed site. Included are a grocery store, (QFC), several banks, drugstore (Bartell Drugs), library, post office and park. Living within walking distance of a mix of uses reduces the need for auto transport. Based on its location compared to the peer facilities, and the fact that little to no on- site parking will be provided, the average parking demand rate derived from the peer facilities (0.21 vehicles/unit) was used to determine the proposed Ballard Senior Housing project's parking demand. For a 51 -unit apartment building, the parking demand is estimated to be 11 vehicles parked by staff, residents, visitors and others on a daily basis. The small commercial space is expected to attract primarily walk-in customers. Employees will be encouraged to walk or ride transit to work. Therefore, this use is not expected to generate demand for parking. heffron tx'r.asri's� 'tliY.�t a,Y�ccf'ri-�°�^.ci�c� -3- REC�� 7 f �I 017 December 4, 2012 nFi 'tel (.v Parking Supply Parking Demand (# of Spaces) (# of Vehicles) G N r C 'E N � o ) � � o E in 0 C C U p m m in c`c a> o a� V HousingFacilityArea r[if�' W "' > ~ a Cabrini First Hill First Hill 50 8 2 10c 20 8 2 3 13 0.26 Cascade Senior Cascade 50 0 0 4d 4 5 1 3 9 0.18 Providence Elizabeth West Seattle 75 20 0 0 20 17 3 4 24 0.32 Providence Gameiin Rainier Valley 78 68 0 0 6 12 3 4 19 0.24 Providence Vincent Downtown 61 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 4 0.07 Average 62 1 14 1 0.21 Source: Heffron Transportation, Inc. a.

How many parking spaces are available in close proximity to the site? The on -street and off-street parking within two blocks of the proposed Ballard Senior Housing project site was surveyed. This included an inventory of all publicly -available parking and demand counts, which were conducted on June 28, 2012.These surveys are described below. On -Street Parking The parking study area included 16 blocks (32 block faces) within two blocks of the site. A block face consists of one side of a street between two cross -streets. Each block face was analyzed to determine the number of available on -street parking spaces and accounts for street features where parking is prohibited. Based on City of Seattle guidelines, the following clearance distances to various street features were assumed: • Driveways — five feet on each side • Alleys — five feet on each side • Fire hydrants — 15 feet on each side, • Marked intersection (signalized or stop -sign controlled) —30 feet • Unmarked intersection — 20 feet Based on these criteria, it was determined that there were a total of 391 on -street parking spaces in the study area. Of these spaces, approximately 65% are unrestricted (meaning that they have no time limits or meters), 18% have time restrictions Monday through Saturday between 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., 15% are • controlled by meters or pay stations, and 2% are for Passenger Load/Unload and disabled parking. Parking demand counts were performed for three time periods to evaluate variation of parking utilization throughout the day_ The times were 10:00 A.M., 2:00 P.M., and 8:00 P.M. The results are shown in Table 1. This shows that there were at least 58 parking spaces available on street within two blocks of the site. Table 2. Total On -Street Parking Demand Survey Results Source. Heffron Transportation, Inc. performed survey on June 28, 2012. Off -Street Parking The availability of off-street parking facilities was also evaluated. There are four off-street paid parking facilities located on NW 56"' Street between 20"' Avenue NW and 22nd Avenue NW. One lot is for public use 24/7. Three of the four lots are dedicated for private commercial use during the weekday and on Saturday mornings. On weekday evenings, Saturday afternoons, Sunday and holidays these lots are open t� to the public. There are a total of 90 spaces in all three lots. Of these, 55 were occupied at the peak, which occurred at 2:00 P.M.. Therefore at least 35 spaces were available in off-street parking lots within two blocks of the site. After 8:00 P.M., when the paid parking is available to the public, only 30 of these ''3 3 7 �i7 spaces were occupied. heffron - 4 - December 4, 2012 DOC.

INDEX Pe Fl Ballard Senior Housing • Parking Needs Study Directly across from the site on NW 57`h Street is a parking lot at the Wiggins & Sons funeral home. This is signed as a public pay lot, and is available during days when there are no funerals. There are 28 available spaces. During the demand survey, the peak occurred at 10:00 A.I. at which time 8 spaces were occupied. St Luke's Church, located less than one block west of the proposed site, also has a parking lot, although it is not signed for public use. Ol 1� u 5. How many on-site parking spaces should the project provide? This analysis shows that there is parking available in the immediate site vicinity to accommodate the estimated parking demand of 11 vehicles. Ballard has ample public transit service and amenities within walking distance that would allow the project residents to live without a car, and would allow staff to commute by alternative modes of travel. Even if off-street parking in the site vicinity were to be eliminated by redevelopment, the on -street spaces will remain. As utilization increases, the City may impose time limits, which would actually free -up more space for the project's short-term visitor and caregiver needs. For all of these reasons, no on-site parking should be required for the project. Fieffron COMM. 'oir[aat'ieownh=rr1:Ci -5- HEED OTY OF YAKIMA A-? A L December 4, 2012 DOC.

Julie Bussing, Transportation Engineer Project: Ballard Senior Housing and Urban Rest Stop DPD Project No. 3016841 Subject: Response to DPD Correction Notice #1 F'r D 1 7 2017 This memorandum responds to a Correction Notice from Bnace Rips at the City of Seattle's Department of Planning and Development (DPD) dated April 28, 2014. The comments relate to the Ballard Senior Dousing Project (I-leffron Transportation, Inc., December 4, 2012). The project has been modified to include an Urban Rest Stop in lieu of the previously -proposed commercial space. Responses to Comments 1 through 4 are addressed. Correction Notice #1 Comment L Please identiff the likely change in parking demand from the project due to the shift from commercial space to urban rest stop. PesPonse: The purpose of the Urban Rest Stop (URS) is to provide a clean, safe facility for the homeless to have free use of toilets, laundry machines, and showers. Since the URS serves the homeless, very few of the customers would drive a vehicle to the site. Based on discussion with personnel managing the two other Urban Rest Stops in Seattle, the majority of clients either walk or use transit to the facilities. Even those who may live in their car, usually leave it parked and walls to the URS. It is estimated that up to 5% of the clients would drive to the site and park. The highest use occurs in the first two hours after the URS opens in the morning as people prepare for either work or school. At this time there may be 20 or 30 people per hour, and not all would be at the site simultaneously. After the morning peak, the number of clients declines throughout the day. The URS would be staffed by three persons, and it is expected that they would walk, bike, or use transit to access the site. At most, the peak parking demand is estimated to be one to two vehicles (if one of the staff drives to work), Comment 2. Please update the parking utilization study from the December 2012 traffic memo. Two time periods should be surveyed during hours the rest stop would be open, one in the Aiv1 and one in the PM. An evening parking survey is not necessary. 6544 NE 61 st Street, Seattle, VVA 98115 Phone: (206) 523-3939 Fax: (206) 523 • • Ballard Senior Housing and Urban Rest Stop DPD Project No. 3016841 DRAFT Response: New parking demand counts in the neighborhood were performed on May 22, 2014. These counts were performed at 7:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M.—the first time period coincides with the peak parking demand associated with the proposed URS and the midday time period coincides with peak commercial demand in the neighborhood. The URS is not expected to be open in the evenings; however, the 5:00 P.m. parking count from the prior study is included for reference. The parking supply from the prior study was validated during the count since it can fluctuate due to construction activity. Table 1 summarizes the parking supply and parking demand during the two time periods. This shows that on streets within two blocks of the site that there were 123 parking spaces available at 7:00 A.M. and 60 spaces available at 12:00 P.M. Table 1.

Parking supply fluctuates due to construction in this area. The availability of off-street parking facilities was also re-evaluated. At the time of the first study, there were four off-street paid parking facilities located on NW 56d' Street between 20`h Avenue NW and 22nd Avenue NW. One lot has since been reconfigured and parking is only allowed with a permit. One lot is still for public use 24/7. The other two lots are still dedicated for private commercial use during the weekday: one lot is restricted from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and the other lot is restricted from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Therefore, during the weekday before 9:00 A.M., there is a supply of 31 public off-street spaces. 1_�u_Ving tie 7:00 A.M. parking demand count, only one space was occupied. After 9:00 A.M., there are 16 off-street spaces for public use, of which eight were occupied at 12:00 P.M. Overall, there is ample on -street parking available to accommodate the parking demand associated with the URS. Comment 3. How are employees and users of the urban rest stop expected to travel to the site? Approximately how many daily vehicle trips would be generated by this project, compared to the daily vehicle trips that would be generated by the commercial space? What is the expected peak vehicle demand? Response: As identified in the Ballard Senior Housing Project memorandum, the commercial space was not expected to generate much travel to the site. It was expected that the space would attract primarily walk-in customers and that employees of the commercial space would have been encouraged to walk or ride transit to work. This is similar to the proposed URS for which both the customers and employees are expected to walk, bike, or use transit to travel to and from the facility. The facility is expected to generate fewer than 10 vehicle trips per day. 3 heft'ron - 2 - E30� June 3, 2014 l�~ � 7 ,t?1;.7 '. a,, A • Ballard Senior Housing and Urban Rest Stop DPD Project No. 3016841 DRAFT Comment 4. What is the expected frequency of delivery vehicles to the site? Response: The primary supply needs of the URS are personal hygiene products and laundry products.

Those comments—number I and 3 --are restated below followed by responses. 0 Correction Notice #2 Comment Z. Please provide the block front data sheets documenting the on -street parking demand. Response: The on -street parking supply and demand sheets are attached. These include the 2012 field notes that show the location parking space supply and parking restrictions; and two sets of spreadsheets detailing the parking supply and demand counts, one set for the survey performed in 2012 and the other for the updated survey performed in 2014. Comment 3. The Heffron memo .states (page 1), "it is estimated that tip to 5% of the clients would drive to the site and park. " Please provide additional information supporting this estimate. Response: Managers at two existing Urban Rest Stops (URS) (one in downtown, one in the U -District) have interacted with the patrons of these facilities over several years and are familiar with their situations and transportation choices. Since URS patrons are homeless and have limited resources, they overwhelm- ingly prefer walking or riding the bus as the cheapest forms of transportation. Patrons who do own a vehi- cle, usually park it close to employment locations, and do not move it often due to the high cost of driving and parking in the City. At the URS locations, the laundry limit is 15 to 18 pounds every other day. This size load can be carried in a back pack and is also permitted on the bus.

The current location on Yakima Ave is a disaster and a blight to the neighborhood. They gather people around their building all day and let them camp at night. We constantly have trespassers and garbage left by their clients. They seem to not respect their neighbors. I hope this can change with the right building and location. The Roy's location has always been a commercial building; so it should be allowed in this location. I would like to see them have a written plan on how they plan on dealing with the issues outside of the property.

A Notification of Demolition and Renovation (NODR) application must be filed with YRCAA and the appropriate fee should be paid; 4. Contractors doing demolition, excavation, clearing, construction, or landscaping work must file a Dust Control Plan with YRCAA and get approval, prior to the start of any work; •5. This project is located within Yakima's Urban Growth Area; therefore, burning is prohibited at all times; and 6.

As of January 11, 2017, your application for the renovation of an existing building into a multi -family residential development with cafe/deli and laundromat in the Small Convenience Center is considered incomplete because of missing or incomplete application requirements. • In particular, the four areas of your applications that need attention are as follows: 1. Administrative Adjustment Application: The Adjustment application and supportive narrative for a reduction of the parking standard from 34 parking stalls to 15 proposed stalls is not complete. a. Under question number two of the application, the zoning ordinance parking standard is based upon the number of dwelling units, square footage of the indoor public eating area, and gross square footage of the laundromat. This question does not identify the break down in the total number of parking stalls required, although it is listed on the site plan. b. Two parking stalls per dwelling unit is required for multifamily developments not 1.5 rendering a total of 10 required parking stalls. Please describe how and why the proposed parking adjustment and design are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and zoning standards. Service population, fewer cars for population, availability of bus passes, and bicycles are considerations that should be taken into account in requesting an Administrative Adjustment. Additionally, on -street parking cannot be counted towards a uses off-street parking requirement; however, it may be utilized as a factor for adjustment of the parking standards. • 2. State Environmental Policy Act Checklist: Doc. INDEXf • a. Question 8. I. should be revised to indicate that the proposed uses are being reviewed by the City of Yakima as Class (1) & (2) uses which are being undergoing Type (3) Review. b. Question 10. c. should describe the landscaping improvements and site screening of the adjacent residential neighbors. c. Question 13. a. should be revised as there are structures in the area that are older than 45 years old and potentially are eligible for listing in the national, state, or local preservation registers. Please call me at (509)575-6163 for the list of locally registered properties. d. Question 14. f. does not indicate the total number of vehicular trips generated from the three proposed uses, when the P.M. peak volumes would occur, what percentage of the volume would be trucks, and what data or transportation model was used to make the estimates. Transportation Concurrency may be required for this proposal. e. Question 16. a. was not answered. 3. Site Plan: Your submitted site plan is missing the following elements: 1) Total percentage of landscaping of the parking lot/area (10% required), 2) Location of existing side sewer and water lines (a separate utility plan may be submitted), 3) Driveway Clearview Triangles, and 4) Proposed site screening between the proposed uses and abutting neighborhood in accordance with YMC 15.07. • 4. Type (2) Review/ Operation Plan: The settlement agreement, submitted cover letter, and Type (2) Review application identify that an operation plan is required and was submitted as part of your application. Please provide the operation plan. Therefore, the City of Yakima Planning Division requests that you correct the submitted applications and site plan, and provide any missing information that may have been unintentionally omitted. Upon receipt of the requested information, your application will continue being processed. Moreover, to assist you in obtaining the required information, the City of Yakima Planning would be happy schedule a meeting to review the proposed requirements and answer any questions you may have regarding this, matter.

I especially appreciated the Hearing Examiners patience with my testimony. I was struggling to get my words formed and then out of my mouth. I realized over the next few days that I had contracted some horrid flu. It had settled in my neck and seemed to be intent on destroying my vocal cords! I hope I didn't share this illness with anyone attending the hearing. Enclosed you will find my additional comments and information for the record. Maud Scott 309 Union Street Yakima, WA 98901 Phone: 910-1838 DOC. INDEX # 1-1 Submitted: 5/07 -&W14 -7 A r•. Turn-of-the-Century Homes on South Naches Boulevard Damaged �� A� y 4. fjtTl °' i My husband and I arrived in Yakima in November 1977. We spent our first night in the Trave( �,F; �`�. r Lodge Motel on South Naches Boulevard. South Naches at that time was an attractive tree lined, Turn of the Century neighborhood that stretched from Yakima Avenue to Pacific Avenue. Within a few months after renting a great apartment behind Roy's Market we had purchased property on Union Street. The year was 1978. Soon after we arrived, demolition of original housing stock began transforming the once gracious East side of the 100 block of South Naches into a sterile hardscape. Three two-story residences were removed for what eventually became an automated gated paved parking lot that served the need for more off-street parking in the heyday of the downtown mall. Presently this lot is empty more often than it is full. I believe that originally this lot was intended as designated, assigned spaces for downtown office or mall workers. When the mall closed, it was subsequently remodeled into condos and office space. There is more than adequate parking in downtown for all but a few occasions. Recently I was told this lot is used for overflow parking related to the Convention Center events. [Parcel 191319-13424 Demolished 3/23/78 105 South Naches Paved Lot] [Parcel 191319-13425 Demolished 5/ 9/83 103 South Naches Paved Lot] [Parcel 191319-13426 Demolished 5/ 9/83 101 South Naches Paved Lot] Then came the winter of '96, with the weight of a sudden wet snow. The roofs of many structures gave way. Roofing Contractors didn't have time to give estimates, they were busy working. Older structures that may have gotten by lesser damage before gave way. The large Bungalow at 109 South Naches sat high off the ground. A wide concrete stairway was centered on the front of the house, providing access onto an even wider recessed front porch. The house was last reported to have been divided into five apartments, each with its own bathroom and kitchen, but sharing laundry facilities in the basement. The Bungalow survived the winter of '96 in good shape, but not the two garages along the alley that served the property. Their roofs caved in, and both were reported gone 'Xmas 1997'. I found no date in assessors' notes for Bungalows demise. I do recall the property was boarded up ... repeatedly. It was a troubled property for years. Unauthorized entry by vagrants cooking up meth or otherwise abusing the home caused the owners to bulldoze this American classic. I seem to remember hearing that the property was purchased by a non-profit, who posted a sign designating it a "Homeless Garden". The only crop that grew was shopping carts, trash, and weeds. • [Parcel 191319-13422 Demolished ?/ ?/ ? ? 109 South Naches Bare Lot 1 a011 01 i� , U Turn -of -the -Century Homes on South Naches Boulevard Damaged 200 Block of South was blessed with an array of Victorian homes whose styles ranged from stalwart classics to whimsical. The Ames House on the S. E. corner of Walnut and South Naches, it was built for the wealthiest insurance broker of the time. Purchased as a retirement home 'in the future' by Bill and Abigail Cunningham in the '80's, they dreamt of walking a few blocks over to the Capitol Theatre on summer evenings in their'Golden Years'. That dream became a nightmare. Vandals and vagrants replaced their tenants over time. The situation deteriorated until they were forced to board the property up. That was a situation in constant motion until they were forced to sell. I had met this wonderful older couple, and after hearing of the troubles they were having, agreed to help by calling the police to alert them that the property was being trespassed. In particular: a group of four adults were on this property constantly. I was familiar with their habits of drinking, drugging, defecating, and debauching on our property on Union Street. I kept calling the police anytime I found this same group on either property. Sometimes they were able to come, sometimes not. One weekend I saw what I thought good news: a young man was working on the Ames House! He was an electrician who had purchased the property to renovate for his family home. He was • working frantically, and had no time to talk. The City had informed him on Friday that a bulldozer would be taking the house down at 6:00 AM on Monday because the house was a public nuisance! And they did! The young family is still in town. I can provide contact information if requested. I am enclosing a copy of a Video made about the plight of the Homeless in Wapato. I ran across it watching YPAC a few years after the City of Yakima bulldozed this wonderful home. The three stars of this Video are the constant visitors to the Ames House and to our Ida Powell House. Also included are County Assessor pictures of South Naches properties that have been damaged in the past decade or more. DOC. M DEX 7 0 Tuesday, Nov 22, 2016 02:36 PM m;lv 05 2017 DOC.

It was so wrong that people here wondered how the store could stay in business. In this rural, ,conservative town of 50,000, where popular fashion tends to involvepo- lyester, there's not much de- mand for $80 Italian silk ties and flashy $700 Perry Ellis suits. "It was the kind of stuff they wear in Los Angeles, like irides- cent, sharkskin -looking sport coats," said a Yakima resident who wandered into the store once. Even more perplexing, the window displays rarely changed. The riddle was solved when This Is the first in a series of articles on the worsening drug problem in America's small cit- ies and towns. *For some people, drugs fill a need to escape. In Perspective. the owner of the store, Ralph Richard Vickers, was arrested for masterminding a cocaine ring that sold more than 4 pounds of cocaine to U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents. He also promised to supply them with an additional 10 pounds of cocaine every 10 days, enough for about 1,000 steady customers. Vickers was convicted in 1988 and sentenced to 12 years in federal prison. The Vickers case was only the first in a series of huge drug busts that blindsided this peace- ful Iittle orchard town, oblitera- ting the smug attitude of many Yakimans that "it can't happen here." And almost two years after the Vickers arrest, Yakima, the apple -growing capital of the United States, remains the un- likely hub of one of America's largest cocaine networks. From this isolated hamlet 140 miles southeast of Seattle in the violet foothills of the Cascade Mountains, tons of cocaine flow to drug users in some of Ameri- ca's largest cities, including Den- ver, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City and Seattle, and to Vancouver, British Columbia. The drug trade in Yakima has metastasized so quickly that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Admin- istration maintains a permanent See Drugs, pg. 18 Copyright © 2017 Newspapers.com. All Rights Reserved.

Madigan F or one moment, set aside all of the F about wars on drugs and consider a dark and pessimistic as- sumption: People who use illegal drugs have found an effective temporary solu- tion to their problem, whatever the problem happens to be. Scenarios attach themselves to this as- sumption as quickly as anyone. can pro- duce them. Teenagers who can't resist peer pressure. Abusive parents. Hopeless poverty in the ghetto and the despair it breeds. Gang culture. A whole spectrum of minor and major psychological diffi- culties. Loneliness. Addiction itself. These conditions join to create a pow- erful demand for substances that provide a temporary solution, even if the solu- tion is only a brief escape from reality. A market is created, and someone sweeps in to fulfill demand. It is capital- ism at work, supply meeting demand. President Bush has called the nation to war against this perverse marketplace equation. That Ile wants an all-out po- lice and societal assault on illegal drugs is not in doubt. But there is considerable doubt about whether the plan is focusing on the right problem. That may be because the hardest level at which drug abuse must be addressed is also the lowest level, down with the users, where assumptions about our great society, its promise and its rewards collide with the ugly realities of the de- mand for drugs.

All of the rest of the picture—the Colombian cocaine kings, the crack wars in Detroit, the murder rate in the na- tion's capita, little drug -addicted babies stru ing for life, mothers selling their daug iers to rapists, bystander -victims to Miami gunfights—flows from that reah- ty, that illegal drugs are fulfilling some land of need.

If the demand for escape is strong enough, someone will Find a way to deliver a product. Drug abuse itself has its own stratum, one that links everyone from commodi- ties brokers down through the middle class and finally to teenagers in the gltct- to. The fact that addictions exist on such a broad scale may be a sign that some layers of the society are m particu- larly deep trouble. Even if it were possi- ble to obliterate access to illegal drugs, the need that created that demand would remain. Those who thrive on this kind of es- cape will sniff glue, gasoline fumes or accelerants from aerosol cans. Or they will abuse alcohol or some other sub- stance.

In the center, there is a single, difficult question. Why? Dr. Anthony Tcnuglia has been looking for the answer for years, like most other professionals dedicated to rehabilitating drug addicts and alcohol- ics. An associate professor of family �?W11etbn Dy Cothy B100 medicine in the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Ohio University in Athens, he warms to the subject instantly. Tenogha doesn't have a lot of statistics to back up his conclusions, but he has many thoughts gleaned from his own ex- perience and studies, ".All these external fixes to satisfy an internal need for peace have Ixen with us for a very long time;' he sayr. "This is just getting progressiveiv worse be- cause we haven't found the answer to a couple of basics, the internal need for See Drugs, pg. 5 Copyright © 2017 Newspapers.com. All Rights Reserved. News 4k�;0 I Chicago Tribune http //chicagotribune.newspapers.com/image/203938806 Drugs Continued from page t peace and sustenance. "Is that something from outside of ourselves, or is it something from within? The problem is we are all looping at the physical re- sults of a problem that is emotion- al and spiritual and physical." Tenoglia says one of America's earliest addiction explosions came; after the Civil War, when alcohol was the preferred solution for coping with the nightmare of car- nage on the 19th Century battlefield. Tobacco use, one of the most dif- ficult addictions to combat, in- creased dramatically after World War 1, prompted by frec handouts of cigarettes to soldiers, advertising campaigns and public acceptance. It was alcohol again after World War II. And now, drugs and alcohol. "All of these compulsive, addictive behaviors come from the need to satisfy, the need to be at peace with themselves and with fellow man. The more laws we make, the less peace there seems to be. The more pohcemen, the more violence. Tlic more money we spend, the less healing there is." Tenoglia said. The problem, in his view, is that drug abuse is a way of searching "for healing from without yourself instead of from within. Healing comes from within. I don't think money and prisons are the answer. What good dots it do to put a woman in the ghetto in prison for having an addicted baby?" Still, he concedes, he has not found the answer, particularly for children. "As far as kids arc concerned. I haven't pot any answer. When they are out in the playground, when they don't have the tools from the family structure, this basic flaw in the society, if they feel alone and cut off they are going to look for an external source for comfort. And there you go," he said. Policyntakers should team a les- son from Alcoholics Anonymous, `The whole idea is we have to teach you how to handle those problems without turning to drugs or alcohol, because that makes the problems worse. I think what happens to a lot of kids is that they never really learn to handle their stress, their tenger. In addition to the drag education, that is what we are trying to do, to give them some skills to handle the things that are coming up in their lives.' —Dr. George $usiel, Evanston psychologist which he views as both a spiritual and psychological program. "You have got to say no in the context of a group that makes an- other choice. Whatever your spiritual basis is, even if you are devoutly atheist, you have to have a belief in something," Tenoglia said. But that is a spiritual reality, something federal government doesn't deal with very well. It is much easier for the government to define a problem on its broadest copyright © 2017 Newspapers.com. All Rights Reserved. �J Chicago Tribune (Chicago, Illinois) - Sun, Sep 10, 1989 Page 53 Printed on May 8, 2017 President Bush displays a bag of crack cocaine Tuesday during a national address announcing his war on drugs. Bush's proposals appear aimed at the effects of drug abuse, not the causes. scale—cocaine production in Colombia, drug dealers, money- laundering operations, arrests of users—than to cut it down to that essential, difficult "why" and deal with each addict or drug experi- menter individually. Even with the new federal attack, some people are trying to approach the problem at that more basic level. At Nichols Middle School in Ev- anston, psychologist Dr. George Busiel helps run a program called "Operation Snowflake," which is aimed at developing something called "peer leaders." If Tenoglia talks in the abstract abut the need to create a group that makes a de. cision. Busicl's program is aimed at creating the leadership for that group. "The idea is to give these kids some solid information. Our goal is to pick out a group of kids who ate leaders who can incorporate all of this stuff in their heads. So, on matters like drugs, they can say 'Tlic real information on drugs is this, not �--AAY 0 v 2017 CITY OF YAKIMA F.:....: ;: CIV.

This is what it is like and what it is all about,' " Busiel said. The children who participate in Snowflake learn about peer pressure and self-concepts, themes that stretch far beyond the issue of drugs. The drug education program, which addresses one of the broader fears of most parents with teenage children, is close to the heart of the effort. "We bring in a recovering teen, the last few years, a kid now in college, who can really tell them that this is not fun. You don't know if you are the one of 10 who has the genetic susceptibility to drugs. You have problems. I have problems," Busiel said. "The whole idea is we have to teach you how to handle those problems without turning to drugs or alcohol, because that makes the Problems worse. I think what hap- pens to a lot of kids is that they never really learn to handle their stress, their anger. In addition to the drug education, drat is what we u -c trying to do, to give them some skills to handle the things that are coming up in their lives." Busiel doesn't appreciate that the media sometimes portrays drugs in a glamorous context. "When you start talking about stock brokers and this kind of thing, this is in- sane. There is no such thing as a glamour drug. It wrecks your life." He believes Bush is right about attacking the supply, "because it is too available. It is too easy to real- ly step into this as a way of solving problems." Beyond that, his goal is to "just let every kid know that there is one person to whom they can come who is not going to criti- cize them." It's also valuable, he said, that the society has finally decided to recognize the problem. Without that recognition, an assault at any level would be difficult.

Dr. Judith Fischer is a professor of human development and family studies at Texas Tech University rn Lubbock. She has researched the subject of adolescent drug use. While it is clear the society agrees it's time for an attack on drugs, there is little consensus on what that attack should be. "One group says more prisons and - harsher penalties and stricter law en- forcement, without realizing they can't incarcerate all the people who are going to be arrested," she said. Rehabilitation will pay off in the long run, she said, but it's expensive. "These are not solutions that can be proposed for overnight. This problem didn't develop overnight. It has been a long time in com- ing," she said. There are conflicting signals being sent, she said, from the pub- lic and private sectors. ' Government may have decided that drug abuse is the single most important issue in America, but in- surance companies are moving to limit the amount of coverage they provide for treatment, and the larg- er number of people who might benefit from treatment are not covered by medical insurance. "The typical medical coverage of. 30 days is not long enough," she said. "And it's not available to many kids who need it the most. Yes, she said, the supply must bo y attacked. Yes, attitudes must be changed. But the effort must go hL-im- " yond that if it is to succeed. , "Institutions have to fit together';;, like the pieces of a puzzle.

INDF.X # �- u C Homelessness in Yakima County 2016 Point in Time Stakeholder Report • Introduction The Point in Time count, also referred to as `PIT or simply `the count', is conducted annually throughout Yakima County to estimate the number of people experiencing homelessness on a single night in our communities. The local PIT count is part of a nationwide data collection effort required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Data collection for the count comes from two sources: a Sheltered Count covering the homeless population staying in housing of various types that is dedicated to serving the homeless and an Outreach Count that attempts to reach the homeless or at risk wherever they may be located within the community. The Sheltered Count is conducted with the assistance of area service providers who house and serve homeless populations. A two page survey is completed by each household engaged in housing services by specially trained data collectors. Whenever possible, case managers with existing relationships with their homeless clients are trained to complete data collection. Virtually all local housing providers participate in this count on some level, with the exception of a single transitional housing project refusing to participate in 2016. This allows reliable data collection for the homeless population that is engaged with a housing provider, and cooperation during deduplication and analysis allows for a full population count of those sheltered in participating programs. The Sheltered Count is generally composed of homeless persons staying in emergency shelters (ES), transitional housing (TH), and permanent • supportive housing (PSH). The Outreach Count data collection survey is identical to the sheltered data collection tool, but does not have a defined population to count and targets the homeless who are unsheltered or otherwise scattered across our communities. Data is gathered by volunteer and professional outreach teams, either in the field, at other partner social service or mainstream agencies such as the Department of Social and Health Services, or on site at concurrent service fairs known as Project Homeless Connect events. Each field team is lead and trained by professional outreach workers and homeless or formerly homeless advocates. Field teams target known locations where the homeless congregate based on input from service providers, outreach workers, current and formerly homeless advocates, and past survey results. It is important to understand that the Outreach Count represents only a subset of the homeless not engaged by housing providers, and as a result is not directly comparable to the shelter count in many respects. The total number of homeless individuals in our county on the night of the count is certainly higher than captured by the Outreach Count, and some subpopulations are likely notably undercounted due to an avoidance of known locations, mistrust or hesitance regarding service providers, unwillingness to respond, and many other factors. Because of this the generalizability of the Outreach Count to the larger unsheltered and couch surfing population is imperfect. Descriptions of the Outreach Count participants can still provide insight into the characteristics of the unsheltered populations and how it may reflect or contrast with the priorities of the housing services system, but comparisons do involve a level of uncertainty that may not be easily quantifiable.

INDEX # (.ad Overview The total number of those identified as homeless during the 2016 PIT Count can be summarized by the number of unduplicated individuals and households. Chart 1.1 shows the number of homeless individuals counted since 2010, grouped by the type of housing in which they were counted. Chart 1.1 2016 Homeless Individuals 2016 data shows an overall decrease of 16%, falling below 600 individuals for the first time since 2010. The largest proportional decrease came in the ES/TH Unsheltered—Sheltei-ed (ES/TH) -Sheltered (PSN) literally homeless sheltered category and is believed to be related at least in part to the shift of resources into permanent supportive housing models — the only area of the count to see a year -over -year increase. Full data regarding homeless individuals may be referenced in Table 1.1 below. Notable results from Table 1.1 Homeless Individuals the current count include year -over - year decreases in individuals counted as unsheltered (down 11% from 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Unsheltered 83 61 53 47 47 72 64 Sheltered (ES/TH) 424 399 472 516 486 466 348 Sheltered (PSH) 115 150 178 132 168 150 168 2015) and the 622 literally homeless sheltered population staying transitional housing placements (down 25%). Chart 1.2 2016 Homeless Households -�heitered iPSH) 610 703 695 701 688 580 in temporary emergency shelter or A total of 435 homeless households were identified during the 2016 Point in Time count. This represents a 10% decrease from the prior year. Household data Data prior to 2013 is only available as an aggregated total, a problematic measure due to the differences in the outreach and shelter counts. Available data broken down appropriately by housing type since 2013 is included in Chart 1.2. As is generally the case, changes in the count of individuals are largely consistent at the household level. .� ii l�)1 i I It Orr • • Sheltered Count • • The homeless in Yakima County may find housing assistance through a variety of programs and housing models. Typically, we discuss three categories of shelter provided to the homeless. Emergency shelter (ES) is intended as a short term intervention; clients are typically not expected or allowed to stay for periods longer than 90 days, generally target around a month long stay per client, and may or may not allow clients to return during a subsequent time period. Transitional housing (TH) models provide housing to the homeless for a longer period and are intended to enable those served to address the root causes of their homelessness. Housing in transitional housing models is generally available for 12-24 months, and most homeless families served in transitional housing also receive in depth housing case management and referral to other mainstream services. Finally, permanent supportive housing (PSH) projects provide housing indefinitely to those with the most serious barriers to stable housing. Typically this housing is utilized for clients with an extensive history of homelessness and serious physical or mental health disabilities who would be projected to remain homeless indefinitely without integrated housing and supportive services. Clients served in these programs are not considered homeless by most jurisdictions or funders, but as a critical response to the hardest to serve homeless populations it has historically been included in local data. Chart 2.1— Sheltered Count Age Distribution 0 20 .N 10 Total Shelter Count individuals and households are available as part of the Overview data. Demographic data on the shelter count population is provided below, beginning with the age distribution in Chart 2.1. Of note in the age distribution is the prominence of children, who make up 38% of the total shelter count population. All of the 5 most frequently reported ages are children, with 4 of the top 5 being under the age 0 of 5. This seems to indicate that 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 7families with children are being r targeted for housing interventions, particularly households with very young children. Counts of households served by family type shows that approximately a third of shelter count households and nearly 60% of total shelter count individuals were part of a family with children. Chart 2.2 on the following page details the reported race of individuals counted in the 2016 Sheltered Count. Because individuals may consider themselves to be of more than one race, this is not equal to the unduplicated number of individuals counted. .i 9 V C-: -r) 3'7 t,4,r 20 i 1 DOC.

Table 2.2 illustrates the location of shelter count participants on the night of the count. This shows the vast majority of individuals, over 85%, staying within the city of Yakima on the night of the count. This is largely determined by the allocation of housing services, and as would be expected changed very little; prior counts showed 83% and 86% in 2014 and 2015, respectively.

M.AY it (;), Z 0 i ! 4 y DOC, INDEX • • • • It is important to note that duration of homelessness includes not just the time spent in a housing program, but also the (sometimes substantial) length of time spent homeless and unsheltered or couch surfing prior to entry into a housing service. In spite of this factor, nearly a third of the emergency shelter and transitional housing population has been homeless for less than 6 months (31%). Unlike prior years, more than half of those counted as part of the outreach count has been homeless for a year or more (55%).

The top ten most frequently selected additional service needs are summarized in Chart 2.5 below. Comparisons from 2015 Point in Time data have been included for reference.

Since 2013, when 37% of households in the sheltered count reported a healthcare need, the prevalence has dropped by 59%; in Top 10 Reported Needs 2016 only 15% of Shelter Count Legal Assistance households reported such a need.

Two of the top four causes, accounting for more than a quarter of all reported causes, relate solely to economic conditions of the household. Another, a family break up, is also often associated with economic distress. This is clearly reflected in the data on household 00 income sources (summarized in Chart 2.7) which show the majority of participating households indicating either no income whatsoever, or what is typically very low income from public benefits.

IINDEX # T—(.o d 0 Outreach Count The Outreach Count is conducted by community volunteers, professional outreach workers and case managers, homeless and formerly homeless advocates, and local homeless and mainstream service providers. In addition to those literally homeless (sleeping outside, in vehicles, or in other places not suitable for human habitation) the Outreach Count also collects some data regarding the number of households who are temporarily staying with family or friends due to housing need. This segment of the population is often referred to as `couch surfing', and data for this group will be presented separately as a distinct subpopulation. Data is collected via survey; this restricts the sample to those who can be located by surveyors, are able to consent to participate (which means minors cannot complete the survey for their household), and are willing to respond. When reviewing the resulting data, it is important to understand that unlike the Shelter Count, the Outreach Count cannot reach its full target population. The numbers reported here represent some subset of the unsheltered homeless population. Estimates are frequently based on the idea that for each homeless person counted two are missed, and the disparity is likely to be larger for some subsets of the homeless population. Specifically homeless families and unaccompanied youth, who typically avoid known locations where the adult homeless population congregates and are frequently reluctant to self -identify as homeless, are likely to be even further undercounted. Note that because the Sheltered Count captures a picture of a full homeless population (those • sheltered in housing programs) while the Outreach Count captures a non-random subset of the homeless population not receiving housing support, the two counts are not directly comparable, and the generalizability of the Outreach Count to the larger unsheltered and couch surfing population is imperfect. Descriptions of the Outreach Count participants can still provide insight into the characteristics of the unsheltered populations and how it may reflect or contrast with the priorities of the housing services system, but comparisons do involve a level of uncertainty that may not be easily quantifiable. Review of the 2016 data begins with a demographic overview, specifically the age distribution presented in Chart 3.1. Notice that in contrast to the Sheltered Count, children do not make up a significant portion of participants; children make up only 5% of those counted, and none of the top ten most frequently observed ages are under 18. This likely indicates an over prioritization of families with children within the housing service system, but is also almost certainly influenced by the systemic undercount of homeless • families mentioned above.

As a reminder, participants can identify as members of more than one racial group, and responded with `Refused' if they identified with none of the available options (of those who selected Refused over 70% identified as being of Hispanic ethnicity).

This is closely tied to the variable success of community -specific Project Homeless Connect events. In the 2015 report, it was clear that the increase in Native Americans counted was tied to greater participation and leadership on the part of the Yakama Nation and that effect continues in 2016 with Native Americans remaining the second most populous group within the unsheltered population.

While this data is not necessarily an exact reflection of the overall geographic distribution of the larger homeless population, it does contrast starkly with the Sheltered Count Table 3.3 - Outreach Count Tndi1lidUn1.R by T.oeation City 2016 Yakima 33 Wa ato 11 Toppenish 9 Sunnyside 7 Buena 1 Grandview 1 Granger 1 Refused 1 geographic distribution.

These two populations have tended to dominate the geographic distribution of the unsheltered count year to year, and this data is summarized fully in Chart 3.3. Note that unlike most charts in this report, both the Yakima and Yakima Nation data are in color despite the city of Yakima constituting a majority of the unsheltered population in most years. Of interest this year is the possible presence of a third distinct unsheltered population in Sunnyside, which exceeds the rest of the `Other' areas for the first time since 2013 and makes up 11% of the total unsheltered count. It is unclear if this is a new development, a better picture provided by the improved count tied to the Sunnyside Project Homeless event, or a single year anomaly on the data, but it bears watching in subsequent counts and could potentially impact the distribution of housing resources if additional data does reinforce the existence of a third distinct location for the unsheltered population. Chart 3.4 illustrates the number of reported instances of homelessness within the past three years for outreach count individuals. Single instances of homelessness constitute a majority or responses, and have accounted for the majority of responses every year since 2013 to varying degrees. In 2016 nearly three quarters of all outreach count participants had been homeless only once in the past three years. Note that this includes those who have been continuously homeless for the entire three year period, which does account for a majority of those single reported episodes. Chart 3.5 shows the duration of homelessness for outreach count participants. The majority of individuals surveyed as part of the outreach ?.{t�.,, 4ti-C FV Z) 9 MAY0 c) n 20I7 DOC.

This distribution is largely consistent with the shelter count data, but does show a bias towards very long duration of homelessness. Individuals in the outreach count were more than twice as likely to have been homeless for 3 years or more as a proportion of those counted than those included in the sheltered count. Taken together, this data on duration and recurrence shows an unsheltered population that is very heavily composed of individuals with a long, and frequently uninterrupted, history of homelessness. Chart 3.6 compares the top ten reported needs of households participating in the outreach count. As has commonly been the case in the outreach count, many of the most common responses dealt with meeting basic needs such as food, clothing, and transportation. More than half of all outreach count households (56%) reported needing assistance with food, and 53% requested help with clothing and blankets. In the 2015 report, the Outreach Count households lagged significantly behind those in the Shelter Count in increased access to health and dental services. While this gap has not disappeared in the 2016 count, it has narrowed significantly, with the proportion of outreach count households requesting healthcare services down 41% from 2013 numbers and dental service requests down 25%. While this is an improvement, access to these services still lags the reports from the shelter count.

INDEX (,d Homeless Sub -Populations & Addenda In addition to the overall totals reflecting the Outreach and Sheltered counts, data on specific sub groups may be useful in decision making. This portion of the report will provide some summary of the various subgroups across both the sheltered and outreach counts. Note that this is not necessarily representative or generalizable to the entire homeless population or larger relevant subgroups than the data set itself, because the combination of the sheltered and outreach counts is almost certainly not a representative sample of the overall homeless population. Chronically Homeless HUD defines a Chronically Homeless Individual as a homeless adult who meets all of the following criteria: 1) Is currently staying in an emergency shelter or an unsheltered state (outside, in a vehicle, or other locations not intended for habitation). 2) Has been homeless continuously for at least one year OR has experienced at least four homeless episodes within the past three years totaling at least one year in combined duration 3) Has a qualifying permanent disability that substantially impacts their ability to gain and maintain stable housing. Households of more than one person who include at least one chronically homeless adult are referred to as `Chronically homeless families'; for the purposes of this report, Chronically Homeless Individuals and individuals who are part of Chronically Homeless Families are considered together unless otherwise noted. In 2016, HUD expanded the qualification for repeated instances of homelessness to include a total combined duration minimum of one year. In 2016 there were no households who would have qualified under prior definitions that did not under the new rule, so comparison to prior years excludes this new filter.

INDEX to d • • • While the portion of the overall count qualifying as chronically homeless has remained low and quite consistent, note that a large portion of those counted cannot possibly be chronically homeless due simply to the type of housing in which they are counted. As a result there has been some speculation that it might be instructive to look at the rate of chronic homelessness among those with a housing type that could potentially be chronically homeless (i.e., those in shelters, transitional housing, or unsheltered, sometimes referred to as the literally homeless). Chart CH2 shows the rate of chronic homelessness among the literally homeless population reported at Point in Time annually since 2008. While the increased incidence is not surprising, the high variability is not necessarily expected - variance in the rate of homelessness among the literally homeless ranges from only 9% in 2010 to 22% in 2012. No immediate explanation for the increased variability of chronic homelessness in this sub- group is entirely convincing. Indeed, it's possible the larger range is simply a product of the smaller size of the literally homeless group; in general, the literally homeless make up roughly two thirds of the total in any given year since 2013. Chart CH2 — Incidence of Chronic Homelessness Among the Literally Homeless ��. t doe �O�O yob` ry�tib cyoy"v �oti'k Chart CH3 shows the location of last permanent residence of those counted as chronically homeless, including individuals in chronically homeless families. This is used as a proxy for a point of origin, and corresponds to the last location the responding household lived when they were NOT homeless. This is an imperfect method, but does provide an estimate regarding origin. In 2016 90% of the chronically homeless indicated that their last permanent address was within Yakima County. All recorded rates are over 80% with a local origin. A more detailed look at point of origin across sub -populations is also included separately below. Chart CH3 -Chronically Homeless by Location of Last Permanent Housing ■ In Yakima County Not in Yakima County As discussed in more detail in the section dedicated to origin, must of the interest is also tied to beliefs regarding institutional utilization.

This is significant, since available data tends to show a minority of households driving the majority of interactions; this is true in general, and has been born out locally in other research, such as the Winter Shelter project that sees a small number of daily utilizers driving a disproportionate share of the demand for bed nights. In other words, it's likely that among the minority of chronically homeless individuals who do report institutional involvement there are a small handful of very heavy service utilizers. It is not possible to verify the existence of such an effect within this area using the Point in Time data, but it is consistent with the data that is available and other local experience. The chronically homeless population is generally older than the general homeless population counted as part of the 2016 Point in Time survey, with none of those counted being children. Chart CH5 shows the age distribution of the chronically homeless relative to the general homeless population surveyed in 2016. The chronic homeless population includes no children in the 2016 count, and children in chronically homeless households peaked in 2015 at roughly 5% of those chronically homeless. By comparison, children make up nearly a third of all persons counted in the combined count.

Chart VI shows veterans by the type of housing veterans were staying in at the time of the count; the decrease in the ES/TH sheltered category can be almost entirely explained by the lack of data from this program, making year over year comparisons for veterans problematic at best. Additionally, many interventions specific to veterans are provided via housing vouchers, in which homeless veterans hold their own lease. These vouchers are not counted as part of the Point in Time survey. Many services available to veterans are accessed through veteran specific providers rather than traditional housing providers. As a result, this report has typically tracked the engagement with these veteran specific resources by asking homeless veterans if they receive any veteran's benefits. Chart V2 shows the rate at which veterans have been receiving benefits since 2010; data from before 2013 is taken from the 2012 report. y0�� -1 V Access to benefits dropped sharply after 2010, when 42% of veteran counted were receiving some kind of veteran benefit, and continued to decrease steadily through 2013. Although this did improve in 2014, it has consistently decreased since. This may be because those who are closely tied to veteran's services are able to receive assistance through housing vouchers not captured here to exit homelessness entirely. m HE0EIV E W 0 8 2017 C!"N OF ` ."AWMA t t....�...',w LIST. 15 DOC.

DEx # SI • • • • Point of Origin One of the common questions from decision makers regards the location of origin of the local homeless population. This is not directly asked on the standard survey data collection tool, but in recent reporting cycles the point of origin has been estimated using the city provided as location of last permanent housing as a proxy. This is not a perfect analog; a lifelong resident of the area who moved away for employment or another reason might very reasonably return to the area to connect with informal support networks such as family if falling upon hard times. However, these exceptions are in some sense edge cases, and the location of last permanent housing will provide the best estimates available regarding the location of origin for the survey group until any changes to the survey can be incorporated in the next cycle.

This is not unusual when looking at the historical data. Since 2013, more than 85% of those surveyed have listed an origin within the county every year, and this has remained very stable. Rates of local origin range from 86-93% during this period. Discussion about a hypothetical out of area origin for the homeless population often involves a parallel discussion about what would attract homeless individuals to the area. This often takes the form of postulating that perhaps local homelessness is driven by out of area homeless individuals being released locally from institutions (notably prisons and treatment facilities) into the community. However, nearly three quarters (74%) of the households counted that did show an out of area origin reported no exits from institutional facilities. See Chart 02 for a full breakdown. In short, accessing these services does not seem to be in any way driving the population of households with a last permanent address outside the area observed as part of the count. Chart 02—Institutional Releases for Out of Area Households Mone Hospital Jail/prison Refused Phsychiatric hospital Work release Foster care Substance abuse treatment Available data is also not supportive of any claim that demand for these mainstream services • among the homeless is attributable to the presence of homeless households from outside the local area.

INDEX • • Substance Abuse The prevalence of substance abuse issues among homeless populations is frequently a topic of discussion, often a discussion based around stereotype. As shown earlier in this report, substance abuse is generally among the most commonly cited causes of homeless episodes by households who participate in the survey, but this can be somewhat misleading. Historically, although it is indeed one of the most commonly cited causes, substance abuse is still cited as a primary cause of homeless by a minority of the households involved in the count. In the current data, only 30% of households identified drug or alcohol abuse as a primary cause of their homelessness, and since 2013 the value has not exceeded 36%.

Although there is Reporting a Substance Abuse Disability, by Housing Type occasionally speculation that substance users are excluded from, or alternatively exclusively make up the population of, a given type of homeless housing the proportion of homeless individuals reporting so° a substance abuse disability does not seem to be consistent by housing type.

Individuals in such households have made up a small majority of those counted every year since 2013. 53-55% of all individuals counted each year have been a part of families with children; this stability is probably tied to the overwhelming majority of families with children being counted within the sheltered count. Individuals in families with children tend to skew younger on average than the general population, which should come as no surprise given that the group is defined by the presence of children. The full age distribution is presented in Chart F2. Of more interest is the distribution of very young children, defined as those age five or under. Households in at -risk groups with such a young child have sometimes been linked to a higher risk of homelessness. Prevalence of such households counted as homeless is illustrated in Chart F3, and have represented a majority of households with children counted in every year since 2013. 2016 2015 2014 2013 Chart FI - Homeless Individuals by Household Type 50 600 -150 1>0 n 2013 2014 •2015 Coln ■ F��mil� wlChilciren _Adults Only et Child Orap In Chart F2- FWC Individuals by Age IIIIIIIIIilll�ll�ll„��.I�Illlllidl,l,l�l I.� ,., � , , i0 20 30 -t0 Chart F3 - FWC Households by Presence of Very Young Children 5 '50% 75'o ■ Young Child No Young Child f® Families with young children were even more likely than the general population to show a local origin.

Data for TANF income benefit rates for FWC households is detailed in Chart F6. Regrettably data at this level goes back only to 2013, after a fiscally motivated administrative rule change rendered large numbers of families unable to receive benefits.

This housing type is not generally recognized as homeless by most funders, but more importantly is exceedingly unlikely to be a true representation of the couch surfing population - it requires both self -identification and engagement with homeless service fairs or participating providers in most cases. It is included largely as a data quality measure, since these requirements mean the subset of data collected is almost certainly not generalizable to the larger at -risk, couch surfing population. Data presented here describes only those participants who provided data, and should not be taken to be representative of the larger unknown couch surfing group.

Initially this appears redundant - households are couch surfing because they were couch surfing at some earlier date. However, this could be taken simply as an indication that these households have had prolonged periods of housing instability and even when they did not consider themselves homeless were still under housed and cohabitating. Indeed, the data on duration of homelessness for couch surfing households shows that the single largest group, 36% of those surveyed, has been homeless for two years or more.

NL)E)( 1�1 0 D®C• IND'X C� • Introduction The Point in Time count, also referred to as `PIT' or simply `the count', is conducted annually throughout Yakima County to estimate the number of people experiencing homelessness on a single night in our communities. The local PIT count is part of a nationwide data collection effort required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Data collection for the count comes from two sources: a Sheltered Count covering the homeless population staying in housing of various types that is dedicated to serving the homeless and an Outreach Count that attempts to reach the homeless or at risk wherever they may be located within the community. The Sheltered Count is conducted with the assistance of area service providers who house and serve homeless populations. A two page survey is completed by each household engaged in housing services by specially trained data collectors. Whenever possible, case managers with existing relationships with their homeless clients are trained to complete data collection. Virtually all local housing providers participate in this count on some level, allowing reliable data collection for the homeless population that is engaged with a housing provider, and cooperation during deduplication and analysis allows for a full population • count of those sheltered in participating programs. The Sheltered Count is generally composed of homeless persons staying in emergency shelters (ES), transitional housing (TH), and permanent supportive housing (PSH). The Outreach Count data collection survey is identical to the sheltered data collection tool, but does not have a defined population to count and targets the homeless who are unsheltered or otherwise scattered across our communities. Data is gathered by volunteer and professional outreach teams, either in the field, at other partner social service or mainstream agencies such as the Department of Social and Health Services, or on site at concurrent service fairs known as Project Homeless Connect events. Each field team is lead and trained by professional outreach workers and homeless or formerly homeless advocates. Field teams target known locations where the homeless congregate based on input from service providers, outreach workers, current and formerly homeless advocates, and past survey results. It is important to understand that the Outreach Count represents only a subset of the homeless not engaged by housing providers, and as a result is not directly comparable to the shelter count in many respects. The total number of homeless individuals in our county on the night of the count is certainly higher than captured by the Outreach Count, and some subpopulations are likely notably undercounted due to an avoidance of known locations, mistrust or hesitance regarding service providers, unwillingness to respond, and many other factors. Because of this the generalizability of the Outreach Count to the larger unsheltered and couch surfing population is imperfect. Descriptions of the Outreach Count participants can still provide insight into the characteristics of the unsheltered populations and how it may reflect or contrast with the priorities of the housing services system, but • comparisons do involve a level of uncertainty that may not be easily quantifiable.

Chart 1.1 shows the number of homeless individuals counted since 2010, grouped by the type of housing in which they were counted. 2015 data shows the first year - over -year increase in unsheltered and couch surfing individuals since 2010. The unsheltered count is particularly notable, and is discussed in detail as part of the Outreach Count. Full data regarding homeless individuals may be referenced in Table 1.1 below.

INDEX # -f-(.00 • Sheltered Count • • The homeless in Yakima County may find housing assistance through a variety of programs and housing models. Typically, we discuss three categories of shelter provided to the homeless. Emergency shelter (ES) is intended as a short term intervention; clients are typically not expected or allowed to stay for periods longer than 90 days, generally target around a month long stay per client, and may or may not allow clients to return during a subsequent time period. Transitional housing (TH) models provide housing to the homeless for a longer period and are intended to enable those served to address the root causes of their homelessness. Housing in transitional housing models is generally available for 12-24 months, and most homeless families served in transitional housing also receive in depth housing case management and referral to other mainstream services. Finally, permanent supportive housing (PSH) projects provide housing indefinitely to those with the most serious barriers to stable housing. Typically this housing is utilized for clients with an extensive history of homelessness and serious physical or mental health disabilities who would be projected to remain homelessness indefinitely without integrated housing and supportive services. Clients served in these programs are not considered homeless by most jurisdictions or funders, but as a critical response to the hardest to serve homeless populations it has historically been included in local data. Chart 2.1— Sheltered Count Age Distribution 4H 5 Nils " Total Shelter Count individuals and households are available as part of the Overview data. Demographic data on the shelter count population is provided below, beginning with the age distribution in Chart 2.1. Of note in the age distribution is the prominence of children, who make up 38% of the total shelter count population. All of the 5 most frequently reported ages are children, with 4 of the top 5 being under the age of 5. This seems to indicate that families with children are being targeted for housing interventions, particularly households with young children. Counts of households served by family type shows that approximately a third of shelter count households and nearly 60% of total shelter count individuals were part of a family with children. Chart 2.2 on the following page details the reported race of individuals counted in the 2015 Sheltered Count. Because individuals may consider themselves to be of more than one race, this is not equal to the unduplicated number of individuals counted. RECENED N1 AY 0 8 2017 CITY CF YAKIMA ,......'i N. 3 40C.

INDEX �-.0 L • • • It is important to note that duration of homelessness includes not just the time spent in a housing program, but also the (sometimes substantial) length of time spent homeless and unsheltered or couch surfing prior to entry into a housing service. In spite of this factor, more than a third of the emergency shelter and transitional housing population has been homeless for less than 6 months (35%), and more than half has been homeless for less than a year. Chart 2.4 — Shelter Count Indiuiduals By Number of Homeless Episodes Number of Homeless Episodes Chart 2.4 summarizes participants in the shelter count by the number of homeless episodes they reported within the past 3 years; those continuously homeless over that period recorded only a single episode. Nearly two thirds of those surveyed (65%) had experienced only a single episode of homelessness during the relevant period. While this does include all those who reported a duration of homelessness in excess of 3 years, that represents only 10% of the shelter count population. 85% of the sheltered count population had experience two or fewer episodes of homelessness within the past three years. Participants were also asked about the top needs of their household, aside from housing, and directed to select up to 5 responses. The top ten most frequently selected additional service needs are summarized in Chart 2.5. Comparisons from 2014 Point in Time data have been included for reference. The most frequently selected household needs have remained similar over time, with a notable exception in the area of health and dental care needs. Taken in combination, requests for these healthcare services were down by 49% year over year, and by 45% since 2013. While it is not possible to prove a causal link for this reduction, providers feel it highly likely this is tied to the expansion of health coverage availability through the expansion of available homeless health care services and as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Chart 2.6 on the following page describes the number of sheltered count households indicating various causes of their homelessness. Again, households were allowed to provide multiple responses but were limited to the five selections they felt were most relevant to causing their Chart 2.5 — Shelter Count Households Top 10 Reported Needs Social Security - Mental Health Care Child Care Dental Health Care Clothes/Blankets s Food Education Job Training/Placement Transportation 100 1.5 2014 ■ 2015 CvIAY 0 u 2017 5 OC.

Two of the top four . causes, accounting for more than a quarter of all reported causes, relate solely to economic conditions of the household. This is clearly reflected in the data on household income sources (summarized in Chart 2.7) which show the majority of participating households indicating either no income whatsoever, or relatively low income from social security benefits. Combined, these account for 52% of all reported income sources. r 5_" Y O e , �litl5�1 • 6()C. 7NDSIX ` -17-(.Q c, • Outreach Count • • The Outreach Count is conducted by community volunteers, professional outreach workers and case managers, homeless and formerly homeless advocates, and local homeless and mainstream service providers. In addition to those literally homeless (sleeping outside, in vehicles, or in other places not suitable for human habitation) the Outreach Count also attempts to estimate the number of households who are temporarily staying with family or friends due to housing need. This segment of the population is often referred to as `couch surfing'. Data is collected via survey; this restricts the sample to those who can be located by surveyors, are able to consent to participate (which means minors cannot complete the survey for their household), and are willing to respond. When reviewing the resulting data, it is important to understand that unlike the Shelter Count, the Outreach Count cannot reach its full target population. The numbers reported here represent some subset of the unsheltered literally homeless population and those couch surfing due to homelessness. The Department of Housing and Urban Development typically estimates that for each homeless person counted two are missed, and the disparity is likely to be larger for some subsets of the homeless population. Specifically, homeless families and unaccompanied youth who typically avoid known locations where the adult homeless population congregates are likely to be even further undercounted. Note that because the Sheltered Count captures a picture of a full homeless population (those sheltered in housing programs) while the Outreach Count captures a non-random subset of the homeless population Chart 3.1—Outreach Count Age Distribution not receiving housing support, the two counts are not directly comparable, and the generalizability of the Outreach Count to the larger unsheltered and couch surfing population is imperfect. Descriptions of the Outreach Count participants can still provide insight into the characteristics of the unsheltered populations and how it may reflect or contrast with the priorities of the housing services system, but comparisons do involve a level of uncertainty that may not be easily quantifiable. 6 U CO 4 a 2 0 20 30 40 50 60 70 Age Review of the 2015 data begins with a demographic overview, specifically the age distribution presented in Chart 3.1. Notice that in contrast to the Sheltered Count, children do not make up a large portion of participants; children make up only 13% of those counted, and none of the top ten most frequently observed ages are under 18. This could point to an over prioritization of families with children within the housing service system, but is also almost certainly influenced by the systemic undercount of homeless families mentioned above. MAY 0 8 2017 CITY OF YAKIMA r INDEX C Chart 2.2 presents the reported race of individuals counted as part of the 2015 Count. As a reminder, participants can identify as members of more than one racial group, and responded with `Refused' if they identified with none of the available options (of the 44 who selected Refused, 38 identified as being of Hispanic ethnicity). Full ethnicity data is available in Table 3.1 below. Chart 3.2 — Outreach Count Individuals by Racial Identification Black/African American Nat. Hawaiin/Pacific Islander Refused White 2014 ■ 2015 American Unlike the relatively minor changes Indian/Alaska Native observed in the Sheltered Count,� 2015 saw a major shift in the racial makeup of participants. Identification as Native American increased by 190% over 2014, and was the most common racial identification in the 2015 Outreach Count. Table 3.1— Ethnicity of Outreach Count Individuals 2013 2014 2015 Not Hispanic 126 65 129 Hispanic 114 65 61 Refused 11 1 10 TOTAL 251 131 200 Significantly, this was the first year that the Project Homeless Connect event located on the Yakama Nation Reservation incorporated a site lead by Yakama Nation tribal members and other Native American leaders, and targeted specifically at homeless tribal members and other Native American identified homeless persons staying within the reservation. It is unlikely that the actual racial makeup of the homeless population has shifted so drastically over the past year; the support and active ownership of the count on the part of a key body connected to an undercounted homeless population allowed the Count to better capture the reality of homelessness. This also illustrates the importance of understanding the limitations of the Outreach Count. In some significant ways, the methodology for conducting the Count did not change: it still consisted of local service fairs for the homeless, with small outreach teams around the small population centers, but the results in engaging this specific subset of the population substantively affected and improved the count. Table 3.2 presents the Outreach Count participant gender rates since 2013. One transgender individual was recorded in 2015. The overall gender distribution was very similar in 2013 and 2015, with 2014 showing an elevated proportion identifying as male.

While this is not necessarily an exact reflection of the overall geographic distribution of the larger homeless population, it does contrast starkly with the Sheltered Count geographic distribution.

Chart 3.5 compares the top ten reported needs of households participating in the outreach count. Many of the most common responses dealt with meeting basic needs such as food, clothing, and transportation. Of particular interest may be the relatively steady demand for health care and dental services. While the proportion of outreach count households requesting health services has decreased incrementally over the past year (from 36% to 28% for health care and from 25% to 21% for dental care respectively), it does not seem like the effect is as dramatic as that observed with shelter count clients.

INDEX Y6T-1 „ r 0 Homeless Sub -Populations & Addenda • In addition to the overall totals reflecting the Outreach and Sheltered counts, data on specific sub groups may be useful in decision making. This portion of the report will provide some summary of the various subgroups across both the sheltered and outreach counts. Note that this is not necessarily representative or generalizable to the entire homeless population or larger relevant subgroups than the data set itself, because the combination of the sheltered and outreach counts is almost certainly not a representative sample of the overall homeless population. Chronically Homeless HUD defines a Chronically Homeless Individual as a homeless adult who meets all of the following criteria: 1) Is currently staying in an emergency shelter or an unsheltered state (outside, in a vehicle, or other locations not intended for habitation). 2) Has been homeless continuously for at least one year OR has experienced at least four homeless episodes within the past three years 3) Has a qualifying permanent disability that substantially impacts their ability to gain and maintain stable housing. Households of more than one person who include at least one chronically homeless adult are referred to as `Chronically homeless families'; for the purposes of this report, Chronically Homeless Individuals and individuals who are part of Chronically Homeless Families are considered together unless otherwise noted.

In 2015 83% of the chronically homeless indicated that their last permanent address was within Yakima County. This is very similar to historic numbers; all recorded rates fall between 83 and 86%. 2015 also shows children as part of the chronically homeless population, a result of households with children recorded as homeless families. Chart CH3 illustrates the distribution of the chronically homeless by age relative to the larger population of all individuals counted. Age is shown as the proportion of each group falling into each age range. The chronically homeless population is generally older than the general homeless population counted as part of the 2015 Point in Time survey, with only 5% being children and an additional 4% as youth under the age of 25.

INDEX I -(o(, Point of Origin One of the common questions from decision makers regards the location of origin of the local homeless population. This is not directly asked on the standard survey data collection tool, but in recent reporting cycles the point of origin has been estimated using the location of last permanent housing as a proxy. This is not a perfect analog; a lifelong resident of the area who moved away for employment or another reason might very reasonably return to the area to connect with informal support networks such as family if falling upon hard times. However, these exceptions are in some sense edge cases, and the location of last permanent housing will provide the best estimates available regarding the location of origin for the survey group until any changes to the survey can be incorporated in the next cycle. Chart 01— Homeless Individuals Point of Origin ■ In Yakima County Not in Yakima County DK/Refused For the 2015 year, over 85% of the participants in the count reported a last permanent address that was within Yakima County (Chart 01). This is not unusual when looking at the historical data. Since 2013, more than 85% of those surveyed have listed an origin within the county every year (see Chart 02). Chart 02 — Homeless Individuals Local Origin, 2013-2015 Discussion about a hypothetical out of area origin for the homeless population often involves a parallel discussion about what would attract homeless individuals to the area. This often takes the form of postulating that perhaps local homelessness is driven by out of area homeless individuals being released locally from institutions (notably prisons and treatment facilities) into the community. However, half of the households counted that did show an out of area origin reported no exits from institutional facilities. See Chart 03 for a full breakdown. Chart 03- Out of Area Households Institutional Releases None Jail/prison Substance abuse treatment Hospital Refused Yhsychiatric hospital Foster care Work release Although institutional releases are slightly higher proportionally from jails and prisons for these households than the general homeless population (22% vs 17%), the difference is marginal.

INDEX # I- U c Substance Abuse The prevalence of substance abuse issues among homeless populations is frequently a topic of discussion, often a discussion based around stereotype. As shown earlier in this report, substance abuse is generally among the most commonly cited causes of homeless episodes by households who participate in the survey, but this can be somewhat misleading. Historically, although it is indeed one of the most commonly cited causes, substance abuse is still cited as a primary cause of homeless by a minority of the households involved in the count. In the current data, only 28% of households identified drug or alcohol abuse as a primary cause of their homelessness, and since 2013 the value has not exceeded 34%. Chart SAI — Proportion of Homeless Adults Reporting a Substance Abuse Disabling Condition a 4' N�^ r:r 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% ■ Individuals with Substance Abuse Disability Individuals with no Substance Abuse Disability The data also does not seem to show a consistent type of housing in which substance abuse is more prevalent. Although there is occasionally speculation that substance users are excluded from, or alternatively Data collection surveys also ask all individuals about their disability status, including an option for reporting a disabling drug or alcohol abuse condition. Reports of substance abuse by this measure also represent a minority of participating homeless adults (see Chart SAI). While this data does not include minors, over the course of data collection since 2013 a single individual under the age of 18 did identify as having a disabling substance abuse condition.

As has been commonly observed throughout this report, the majority of the reported causes fall into essentially the same small number of categories. Chart SA3 details the reported needs for individuals with substance abuse disabilities. As comparison of the totals might indicate, however, alcohol or drug use is not universally cited as a primary cause of homelessness by individuals who consider themselves to be disabled by substance abuse related conditions. Chart SA4 shows this in greater details. Note that the reported rate has remained stable for the general population, but decreased each year for the group of individuals reporting a disabling substance abuse disorder. This is of particular interest because the reported cause is necessarily a prior event to current state at the time of data collection, potentially supporting the idea that for at least a subset of homeless substance abusers their substance abuse is symptomatic of their homelessness rather than a causal factor.

Yakima County 2014 Point in Time Stakeholder Report • • �J Introduction The Point in Time count, also referred to as `PIT' or simply "the count" is conducted annually throughout Yakima County to estimate the number of people experiencing homelessness on a single night in our communities. The local PIT count is part of a nationwide data collection effort required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Data collection for the PIT count comes from two sources: a Sheltered Count covering the homeless population staying in housing of various types that is dedicated to serving the homeless and an Outreach Count that attempts to reach the homeless or at risk wherever they may be located within the community. The Sheltered Count is conducted with the assistance of area service providers who house and serve homeless populations. A two page survey is completed by each household engaged in housing services by specially trained data collectors. Whenever possible, case managers with existing relationships with their homeless clients are trained to complete data collection. Virtually all local housing providers participate in this count on some level, allowing reliable data collection for the homeless population that is engaged with a housing provider, and cooperation during deduplication and analysis allows for a complete count of those sheltered in participating programs. The Outreach Count data collection survey is identical to the sheltered data collection tool, but does not have a defined population to count and targets the homeless who are unsheltered or otherwise scattered across our communities. Data is gathered by volunteer and professional outreach teams, either in the field, at other partner social service or mainstream agencies such as the Department of Social and Health Services, or on site at concurrent service fairs known as Project Homeless Connect events. Each field team is lead and trained by professional outreach workers and homeless or formerly homeless advocates. Field teams target known locations where the homeless congregate based on input from service providers, outreach workers, current and formerly homeless advocates, and past survey results. The Outreach Count does not and cannot provide a complete picture of the homeless not engaged by housing providers. The total number of homeless individuals in our county on the night of the count is certainly higher than captured by the Outreach Count, and some subpopulations are likely notably undercounted due to an avoidance of known locations, mistrust or hesitance regarding service providers, unwillingness to respond, and many other factors. While the Outreach Count can provide a useful description of our homeless population, it cannot capture the full picture of homelessness. 0FIVEDo MAY 0 8 2017 CITY OF YAKIMA PLAd ..... , - C Overview The total number of those identified as homeless during the 2014 PIT Count can be summarized by the number of unduplicated individuals and households. Chart 1.1 shows the number of homeless individuals counted since 2010, grouped by the type of housing in which they were counted. The 5 year period shows a marked decrease in those unsheltered at the time of the count. The total number of unsheltered homeless individuals has remained constant from 2013 to 0 Graph 1.1 — All Homeless Individuals by Housing Type 2010-2014 500 400 300 _.---------_-__. 200 - 100 _ 0 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 -Sheltered (PSH) Sheltered &(ES/TH) -^ Couch Surfing Unsheltered 2014 at 47, holding at a 433,o decrease since 2010.

A comparison to previous years can be found in Chart 1.3. Children under the age of 18 made up nearly a third of all homeless persons counted in the 2014 count at 32.6%. This actually represents a reduction from the 2013 numbers where 37.2% of those counted were children under the age of 18. Chart 1.3 shows the distribution of all homeless individuals counted at Point in Time by age going back to 2010. UECEi V ED MI -Y 0A 2017 • • •Sheltered Count The homeless in Yakima County may find housing assistance through a variety of programs and housing models. Typically, we discuss three categories of shelter provided to the homeless. Emergency shelter (ES) is intended as a short term intervention; clients are typically not expected or allowed to stay for periods longer than 90 days, generally target around a month long stay per client, and may or may not allow clients to return during a subsequent time period. Transitional housing (TH) models provide housing to the homeless for a longer period and are intended to enable those served to address the root causes of their homelessness. Housing in transitional housing models is generally available for 12-24 months, and most homeless families served in transitional housing also receive in depth housing case management and referral to other mainstream services. Finally, permanent supportive housing (PSH) projects provide housing indefinitely to those with the most serious barriers to stable housing. Typically this housing is utilized for clients with an extensive history of homelessness and serious physical or mental health disabilities who would be projected to remain homelessness indefinitely without integrated housing and supportive services. Clients served in these programs are not considered homeless by most jurisdictions, but as a critical response to the hardest to serve homeless populations it has historically been included in local data. • Table 2.1 shows the count of individuals and households in 2014 along with the previous year's figures for reference. Usage of both permanent and transitional housing facilities showed an increase over 2013 while emergency shelter usage was down.

INDEX =-&b Outreach Count The Outreach Count is conducted by community volunteers, professional outreach workers and case managers, homeless and formerly homeless advocates, and local homeless and mainstream service providers. In addition to those literally homeless (sleeping outside, in vehicles, or in other places not suitable for human habitation) the Outreach Count also attempts to estimate the number of households who are temporarily staying with family or friends due to housing need. This segment of the population is often referred to as `couch surfing'. Data is collected via survey; this restricts the sample to those who can be located by surveyors, are able to consent to participate, and are willing to respond. When reviewing the resulting data, it is important to understand that unlike the Shelter Count, the Outreach Count cannot reach its full target population. The numbers reported here represent some subset of the unsheltered literally homeless population and those couch surfing due to homelessness. The Department of Housing and Urban Development typically estimates that for each homeless person counted two are missed, and the disparity is likely to be larger for some subsets of the homeless population. Specifically, homeless families and unaccompanied youth who typically avoid known locations where the adult homeless population congregates are likely to be even further undercounted. Table 3.1 below shows the count of individuals and households located by the outreach count, including the 2013 data for reference.

While the underlying methodology of the count has remained constant, two major factors may have impacted the shift. First the number of home visitors and other case managers attached to specific schools, who have typically formed the main connection with couch surfing families, has decreased dramatically. Second, the number people attending the Project Homeless Connect service fairs has also seen a reduction, with anecdotal reports that much of this decline has been due to a reduction in the number of families with children attending the events. 48.3 % of those counted as part of the Sheltered Count identified as female, with 51.7% identifying as male; no participants identified as transgender individuals.

This portion of the report is not intended to remain static, and will be expanded over the course of the year as additional inquiries are made. Initial reports will include HUD mandated sub groupings, notably veterans and the chronically homeless, but the information included will not be restricted to HUD groupings or HUD requested data. For clarity, each subsection will include brief summary of how the population considered has been defined. Chronically Homeless HUD defines a Chronically Homeless Individual as a homeless adult who meets all of the following criteria: 1) Is currently staying in an emergency shelter or an unsheltered state (outside, in a vehicle, or other locations not intended for habitation). 2) Has been homeless continuously for at least one year OR has experienced at least four homeless episodes within the past three years 3) Has a qualifying permanent disability that substantially impacts their ability to gain and maintain stable housing. Households of more than one person who include at least one chronically homeless adult are referred to as `Chronically homeless families'; for the purposes of this report, Chronically Homeless Individuals and individuals who are part of Chronically Homeless Families are considered together unless otherwise noted. In 2014 a total of 86 such individuals were identified representing 11% of those counted, an increase from the 8% proportion reported in 2013.

HOMELESS NETWORK OF YAKIMA COUNTY The mission of the Homeless Network of Yakima County (Network) is to advocate for the homeless people of Yakima County in order to MISSION improve the quality of life, increase public awareness of issues of homelessness, impact public policy, and to prevent and end homelessness. The Homeless Network will focus on realizable strategies to move homeless individuals and families beyond shelter to permanent housing and self-sufficiency by looking at a comprehensive range of needs and develop the local capacity to meet these needs. The VISION \ et<vork will identify ways of coordinating and linking resources to avoid duplication by involving agencies and individuals currently involved with homeless and involve stakeholders outside of the traditional homeless system with a shared goal of building a comprehensive system to end homelessness and prevent return to homelessness. The Homeless \ enrork is an association of emergency housing providers, service providers, community leaders, and any other interested person or entity who are concerned about addressing the emergency, transitional and permanent needs of the homeless. The purpose of the N et«°ork is: 1. Provide a place to share ideas. concerns and resources applicable to homeless issues and foster collaboration in addressing needs of the homeless. OPERATING 2. Increase community awareness related to the causes of PRINCIPLES homelessness. the needs of homeless people and ways to end homelessness through a program of public education and advocacy. 3. Participate in developing and supporting public policy to assist homeless people and work toward ending homelessness. 4. Research and develop resources to support Network and Continuum of Care projects. 5. Develop, implement and annually review county -wide plans to end homelessness.

Towards the goal of ending homelessness, a coalition of over 40 local homeless service providers and involved individuals formed the Homeless Network of Yakima County (Network). Members include: Mental health providers Local government representatives Health care providers Affordable housing providers Shelter providers Substance abuse providers Domestic violence services providers Homeless individuals Correctional representatives Funders Housing finance services Child abuse/neglect service providers Foster care services providers Community developers Veterans services providers Legal services providers As part of the planning process the Network conducted "Point in Time" homeless counts which have provided base -line measurement data on the homeless population. The "Point in Time" data has been used to identify areas of emphasis. Based on these areas, the Network established the following four objectives: ➢ Reduce the number of homeless families ➢ Reduce the number of non -chronically homeless individuals > Reduce the number of chronically homeless individuals ➢ Reduce the number of homeless youth Under each of these four objectives the Homeless Network has established four strategies: ➢ Housing ➢ Prevention ➢ Income ➢ Health To address each of the four objectives and strategies under the 10 -year plan the Network gas identified several activities both long-term and short-term that can be implemented to the goal of reducing homelessness in Yakima County. T_a continuum of care approach will streamline the current system so homeless people can move back into society through a coordinated housing and service system that addresses all of their immediate needs. The Homeless Network believes that a community commitment to carrying out these approaches and strategies will positively impact those who are already homeless as well as those at risk of becoming homeless. By doing so the quality of life can and will be enhanced for individuals, families, and Yakima County as a whole.

It is unique in the State in having the largest concentration of minority populations in the state; over 50 percent of Yakima County's population is individuals of Hispanic background. According to the Office of Financial Management, one-half of the entire state's Native American population lives in the County. Yakima County is also home to the largest population of migrant and seasonal farm workers in the State. According to the Washington Migrant and Seasonal Farm Workers (MSFW) Enumeration Study for'tVashington State, there are 81,175 imigrant and seasonal farm workers, including family members, temporarily resident in Yakima County. The area's economic basis — agriculture and service industries — employs over 60 percent of the working population. Work in these sectors is traditionally low paying, is subject to seasonal employment, and offers little or no opportunities for upward advancement. Full- time occupations that pay more than minimum wage account for less than 13 percent of the work force. Yakima County has been designated an "economically distressed" county by the Washington State Legislature due to the county's chronically depressed economy. Only 22 percent of the land surface is taxable because of a Federal Military Training Center and the Yakama Indian Reservation. Despite the injection of millions of State and Federal dollars in the form of employment and training programs annually for the past 20 years, the county continues to experience severe economic hardships. Nearly 40 percent of the t county's population over the age of 16 is not in the «vork force. Chronic unemployment in the county — which averages between 9 — 11 percent annually - continues to be twice the state average. POPULATIONS AT RISK Unemployment, low wages, chemical dependency, mental illness and insufficient income are established precursors to homelessness. On this basis, all available indicators show that Yakima County has the potential of having a large pool of individuals and families who are at risk of becoming homeless. Living In Poverty - Nearly a quarter of Yakima County's population live at or below poverty level. Even among those not in poverty, 42 percent are forced to seek some form of public assistance I some time during the year. This is due, in part, to the County's median household income; Yakima County ranks 24a' among th stat ' co es ' h an annual median household income f $39,022; al t 25 percent below the state average of $51, umber of individuals U visiting area food banks per 1,000 population in Yakima ''i�C�e County is 80 percent greater than the state average (1,897 versus 1,05 1). Similarly, families receiving Temporary M -4y DOC. ,`ITY OF YA A 8 INDEX '' A... ... .� �s 0 T_(�n YAKIMA COUNTY Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is 123.65 per 1,000 in Yakima County compared with the state average of 63.92. Chemical Dependency - Among youth aged 10-17, 23.7 per 1,000 are clients of state -funded chemical dependency programs; this exceeds the state average of 11.09. Among adults this rate is 23.11 per 1,000 compared with the state average of 11.83. Mental Illness - The Washington State Mental Health Division calculates there are in excess of 7,000 Seriously Mentally Ill (SMI) individuals in Yakima County. Of this population 160 have been identified as homeless. CONDITIONS FOR HOMELESSNESS A shortage of affordable housing plays a significant role in homelessness. Less than 1 percent of all housing in the County has been built over the past 10 years despite a population increase of 5 percent. There are 358 housing units available per 1,000 population which is 20 percent lower than the state average. The current homeownership rate in Yakima County is 62.8 percent. Of the available housing units in the County 36 • percent are renter occupied units with an average vacancy rate of only 5.5 percent. As a result, housing in the County is in short supply. The lack of housing is most pronounced outside of the county's urban areas. In townships such as Parker and Outlook no new homes have been built in nearly 20 years. This shortage of available housing has put a premium on what housing is available. The average price per home is S 125,700 which represents an increase of 33.7 percent over the past ten years. The average monthly rent for a two bedroom home is 5596. It requires a median income family to pay over half (55%) of their available income to rent a two bedroom home. Nearly 36 percent of renter occupied households in Yakima County spend 30 percent or more of their available income on rent. As a result, many families live in substandard homes or share a residence with other families. Others, however, become homeless. In Yakima County there are over 450 individuals in emergency or transitional shelters. The need for a community wide approach to reducing homeless is demonstrated by a Point -in -Time survey of Yakima County's homeless population conducted in January 2006. In this survey 1,190 individuals and 801 households were identified as being homeless. 355 were identified as children age 0-17, 800 were between the ages of 18-64, 90 individuals reported that they were either living on the streets or in a car, 92 reported being homeless more than one year. Reasons included 213 unable to pay rent or mortgage, 187 lack of job skills, 175 drug or alcohol use, 147 mental illness, 143 job loss. MAY 0 8 2011 WY OF YA00A PLXI......'�' DIV. r r i 1 i SECTION 1 — EMERGENCY SERVICES In most instances emergency services are the first point of contact between those at risk of becoming homeless or who are already homeless, and a community's social service network. Emergency services by themselves, however, can do little more than alleviate a crisis or emergency situation. Instead, they must be part of a broader scheme to address homelessness. The experience of homeless providers across the country over the past ten years has demonstrated that the most effective in terms of resource use and efficient means of providing homeless emergency sen -ices is within the context of a comprehensive continuum of care service model. The effectiveness of this model has been described by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a new tool 'for addressing the problem of homelessness " and incorporated into the McKinney Act. A MODEL FOR SUCCESS HUD has identified the fundamental components of a comprehensive continuum of care system to be: ♦ Outreach, intake, and assessment to identify an individual's or family's service and housing needs, and link them to appropriate housing and or service resource ♦ Emergency shelter and safe, decent alternatives to the streets ♦ Transitional housing with supportive services to help people develop the skills necessary for permanent housing ♦ Permanent housing and permanent supportive housing COMPONENTS OF A CONTINUUM OF CARE HOMELESS SYSTEM • • Outreach Intake Permanent Assessment _ W Housing Emergency Transitional T Permanent Ser%ices/Shelter Housing Supportive Housing Supportive AECEIVED10 Services,....a_ MAY 0 SECTION I CITY OF YAKIPOA DIV. • SECTION 1 - EMERGENCY SERVICES An effective "continuum of care" system - including emergency services - is coordinated.

Too often emergency services are viewed as an end in themselves — once emergency services have alleviated a particular situation there is no longer a "crisis" and there is no need for emergency services to be continued. This is not to say, however, that the conditions that fostered the crisis have been resolved, or that a similar crisis will not occur at some later point in time. Three characteristics must be present in order for emergency services - including emergency shelters — to be effective in this continuum. First, emergency services must be • coordinated and integrated with all other homeless services in the continuum. This requires that emergency service providers share resources, not duplicate them. Secondly, the transition "You can not just turn from one service to another needs to be seamless and your head to the with minimal barriers This will ensure that a person or homeless and pretend family in need of a specific service will not "fall through they aren't there.

During this process case mangers act as a single point of contact for accessing services across the multitude of services providers. In this role case managers help prevent the duplicated of services as well as identifying resources to fill potential gaps in the service continuum.

Providers in upper county report a shortfall of 170 shelter placements a week; in the lower county approximately 60 requests for emergency shelter go unmet weekly. There is currently a limited countywide network to share information among emergency service providers. This is due, in part, to providers having different funding sources, different reporting requirements, and diverse target populations. Information, therefore, tends to be shared within agencies, not across them. As a result, some providers may not utilize available resources. Similarly, due to the lack of coordination among providers, services are often fragmented with little or not continuity. Consequently, a crisis situation that threatens an individual's or family's housing stability may go unresolved. Did You Know...

INDEX SECTION 2 - MAINSTREAM SERVICES People often need services, and low-income people must turn to public systems to secure the services they need. Some need services in order to work and earn the money to pay rent. Others need services, regardless of their income, in order to meet their basic responsibilities as a tenant and remain in housing. Public systems also supply medical care, job training, education, mental health treatment, childcare, substance abuse treatment, and transportation. Those systems are almost uniformly overburdened, and in many cases are not keeping up with new demands. These public systems require realistic funding and good policies to address new challenges. Many mainstream service programs unintentionalIy work against homeless individuals and families who attempt to negotiate these systems. Homelessness is often a function of a mainstream system's inability to deal with issues such as lack of an address and telephone, illiteracy, loss of documentation, and incomplete medical records. For homeless people already beset with crises, navi-atina the system becomes yet another obstacle to stability.

Currently there are 55 beds in halfway or transition housing programs specifically identified for individuals leaving substance abuse treatment in the County. 3. Childcare is another important service. As welfare becomes less available to low income communities, single parents must work in order to stay housed. Public childcare is especially important for those at risk of homelessness. Homeless parents are less likely to have functioning networks of social supports, such as family members or friends who could care for their children, than are poor parents in general. Nationally, only one out of ten children who are eligible for child care assistance under federal law receives any help. Did You Know ...

Individuals who are HIV positive or diagnosed with AIDS are required to take medication at certain times with specific foods. Homeless patients generally do not have available food or water to satisfy these requirements. Or, medications may need to be mailed to a home address, further complicating the homeless HIV/AIDS patient's treatment. In Yakima County there are 5 beds and 13 voucher rental assistance slots reserved specifically homeless individuals living with HIV/AIDS.

As a result, assessing the need for these supports only occurs in times - of a family or individual "crisis". While intervention may resolve immediate issues, the conditions or circumstances that led to a family or individual becoming homeless remain unchanged. Too often the family or individual reverts to homelessness once the immediate crisis has been resolved. THE FACE OF HOMELESSNESS \o single set of characteristics can define all homeless individuals or families. Each person or family- without permanent, stable housing is unique. Some are veterans, others are in the process of lea-ving an institution, while still others are Mentally Ill and Chemically Addicted (NUCA). There are, however, patterns of behavior that help to identify major types of homelessness. It is important to understand these types of homelessness in an effort to addresss the problem.

While the single homeless population represents 50 percent of all homeless, the chronically homeless represent 10 percent of the single homeless population. RECEIVED SECTION III C17 Y OF YAKIMA PA'...—I SECTION 3 - DATA Few people in this chronic group are likely to ever generate significant earnings through wages. While they may have some income from wages and/or public benefits, they will require long term subsidization of both housing and services to support them. The people who use shelters repeatedly, often called the episodically homeless group, constitute approximately 9 percent of the single population. This population often includes victims of domestic violence. This group has a high public cost when housed in shelter because many of its members seem frequently to interact with other very costly public systems, particularly jails, prisons, and hospitals. Many are active substance abusers. The episodically homeless group requires a flexible strategy that addresses both their housing needs (for those with mental health and or chemical dependency issues both when in treatment and in relapse) and their need for treatment. When they are in treatment, or compliant with treatment requirements (i.e. clean and sober), supportive housing or private sector housing are good options. When they are unable to find acceptable treatment, or unwilling to partake in treatment or treatment regimens, other housing options must be found. Current policies in which episodically homeless people sleep in the street, in shelters, hospitals and penal institutions jeopardize public safety (primarily for them) and/or have high public costs. There are different views about how best to address episodic ISSUE: homelessness. There are those `yho believe many episodically homeless people are those currently- umvilling to engage in chemical Planning and dependency or mental health treatment. Therefore they believe it is developing necessary to create a type of housing that recognizes chemical projects that dependency or mental illness, makes sen -ices available, but does not respond to the require sobriety or "stability';. Models of so-called "low demand" needs of housing exist, and it has further been suggested that low cost hostel or homeless dormitory type housing with daily or weekly rental terms be people in developed. Others believe that most treatment available for chemical Yakima dependency or mental illness is not appropriate for this group (too County short term, no follow-up recovery or transitional housing) and that the solution for the episodic group is a sufficient supply of appropriate treatment. Both options, or a mix of options, are probably needed. Those who have relatively short stays in the homeless assistance system exit it and return infrequently, if at all, have been called the transitionalh• homeless. The majority of families and single adults who become homeless fall into this category, including domestic violence victims. They have had a housing crisis that has resulted in their homelessness. Despite the near universal shortage of affordable housing for poor people, they will find a way to house themselves. Since the homeless system is unable to address the real cause of their problem — the overall shortage of affordable housing — the best course of action is to facilitate their accommodation to this shortage and help them make it more quickly. 2 1'lAY 0 8 20117 SECTION III CITY OF YAKIMA Z SECTION 3 - DATA2017 +:f l_y OF YAj 40 Nationally, the Housing First approach for most transitionally homeless families has " Lel1 anV proven to be effective. The focus of this approach is upon getting families very quickly back into housing and linking them with appropriate mainstream services — reducing their stay in housing to an absolute minimum. For families in which the head of household has a chronic and longstanding illness that requires treatment, appropriate services must be attached. In this case attached services must include medical services, housing for family members, followed by an intermediate level of supportive housing. This is also a model for the chronically homeless, single people. ISSUE: For families fleeing an immediate domestic violence situation, a Housing First approach is unlikely to be effective. Such families Lack of typically need a period of four to six months in a sheltered and coordinated local secure environment in order to sever ties with the batterer.

To end homelessness a different approach can be taken. People should be placed in housing as rapidly as possible and linked to available services. HOMELESS COUNT Any survey or attempt to count of the homeless in the county is, at best estimation. The U.S. Census Bureau acknowledged the logistical difficulties in its count of 300+ individuals using emergency shelters in the City of Yakima. Rural areas south of Union Gap are especially hard to survey; the number of homeless in the lower valley has not been established. Data from the 2006 "Point in Time" homeless count indicates considerable growth in the homeless population in Yakima County. A total of 1265 unduplicated individuals and 940 households were counted as homeless. Of these 355 individuals (28%) were youth 0- 17 years of age. 153 (12%) were considered chronically homeless, and 85 (7%) were victims of domestic violence.

This often makes the job of connecting homeless individuals and families with available services such as jobs and low- cost housing impossible. • RECEIVED s�,AAY 0 8 2017 CITY OF YAKIMA SECTION III IJ6 • INDEX SECTION 4 - OUTREACH In order to be effective, the continuum of care must be integrated and coordinated so that when homeless people make contact with one agency in the system, they can be linked across agencies with the full range of housing and support services they need to stabilize their lives and maximize their self- sufficiency. Therefore, an information and referral system which provides accurate and up to -date information about service and housing availability and which effectively links people with what they need is an absolutely essential aspect of a fully -functioning continuum of care. THE IMPORTANCE OF INFORMATION SgkIUNG This information should be accessible to outreach workers, case managers, homeless people, and the general public. In addition to an accessible information and referral system, outreach is an important mechanism for connecting people with the services they need. For many people, an outreach worker protides the first point of contact with the service system; this may be through shelter day centers, multi -service or day drop-in centers, crisis hotlines, safe havens for domestic violence victims or the homeless mentally ill, informational street hand-outs. or mobile outreach workers who work on the streets. Outreach is particularly important for "I often hear how many of these people don 'r people who are reluctant to make want to go to agencies or their families ro ask.f y The p or help. contact with the service system on feel embarrassed and ashamed of their situations." their own. `chile for some people, Network �tileraber one contact with the system may be — .noun to link them with needed services; for many others, street homeless, people with mental health disabilities and others who have had negative experiences with the service system. repeated contacts over time are necessary to build trust. This process ofbuildina trust and assessing needs is called engagement. Engagement occurs in various stages beginning with first contact where the outreach worker seeks to become a familiar face and begins to establish credibility, proceeding to initial engagement tactics where the worker attempts to engage the potential clients in conversation and uses small incentives to facilitate interaction, such as provision of needed items (toothbrushes or socks); and continuing to more ongoing engagement tactics where the worker begins to "hangout" with clients and helps them to meet needs that can be easily addressed, such as transportation, clothing, or basic medical care. Ultimately, if successful, the outreach worker will be able to assist clients in identifying their longer-term needs and accessing the services that can help them to move out homelessness.

Outreach can provide the continuity and stability that is required to ensender trust. As with other services, outreach efforts must be coordinated and jointly planned. Information must be shared among outreach providers who, in turn, must coordinate responses with the ultimate goal of accessing permanent affordable housing and the necessary supportive services for all homeless population groups. Most importantly, outreach must be a fundamental component of the continuum of care mode:. "People walking the streets become invisible to our communities." — Network Member Many homeless people suffer from mental illness, substance abuse, or domestic violence; the development of trusting relationships can take years. The number of homeless individuals inevitably exceeds the number of outreach staff available to help them achieve more stable lifestyles. In order to bridge this gap, volunteers, including members of faith communities, students, business, and neighborhood organizations, need to be recruited and trained by skilled outreach teams to assist with this effort. Most importantly, homeless people must be viewed as valuable members of society with special needs. Specialized services for each homeless group — chronic, episodic, or transitional — must be geared toward stabilization and permanent housing, rather than warehousing. Expanded and intensified outreach, combined with innovative approaches such as the Housing First model will have a positive impact on reducing the incidence of homelessness for people with multiple problems who have been homeless for significant periods of time. Outreach is a first and necessary step in this process. Did You Know ...

AVAILABLE RESOURCES Yakima County has a multitude of limited stand-alone outreach services to the homeless. These individual services were not, however. originally designed as components of an integrated "continuum of care". As a result. the currently available outreach services are not centralized. ISSUE: There is no central place (e.g. safe haven) for people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless to access information about services and potential resources. The Yakima Count- Coalition for the Homeless (YCCH) provides limited outreach by bilingual staff (Spanish/English) to homeless individuals and families (approximately 20 per week) at emergency shelters. food banks, health clinics and the Community Services Offices for the Department of Health and Social Services (DSHS). 'Vt"hen homeless persons are encountered, a brief assessment is conducted to identify the most appropriate shelter resources and referrals are made.

Outreach is a maior tool in overcoming these potential barriers.

The linkages between the outreach component and the rest of the service system must be improved so that clients can be immediately linked to housing and sen -ices when they are ready to access them. This can be achieved by developing referral agreements between outreach providers and housing and service programs. These agreements need to include the dedication of engagement housing and permanent housing slots for access for cli referred by the outreach component. ° �-C_JVEE) 4 SECTION IV MAY 9 g 20q t�!

To accomplish it will be necessary to: ♦ Develop short-term interim housing focused on helping people access permanent housing as quickly as possible. Services provided in interim housing would include housing search assistance and case management to help address immediate needs and identify longer-term issues to be dealt with once in permanent housing. ♦ Develop programs throughout the county to create additional housing units. These units would be designed to provide a way in off the streets for those who are unwilling or unable to access other housing options — it has no time limits on length of stay, has few rules and requirements, and offers access to services on an optional basis. ♦ Expand the availability and accessibility of permanent housing affordable to people with extremely low incomes. Typically people with extremely- low incomes are those who are living on public benefits, are homeless and have no source of income, • or are employed earning only minimum wage. ♦ Facilitate the development of more supportive housing. S-upportive housing is affordable permanent housing that is linked to an integrated and individualized package of services and supports designed to maximize health. self-sufficiency and quality of life. This type of housing is essential for chronical -h- homeless people and others with serious disabilities.

Safe and secure housing is one component of escaping homelessness for individuals and families. In the long term, success in escaping homelessness depends on developing self- sufficiency. This, in turn, can best be accomplished by developing resources and supportive services that pro -vide opportunities for developing self-sufficiency.

Transitional Housing Various homeless population groups require transitional housing that is tailored to address their specific needs. Irrespective of the type of transitional housing, programs should focus on removing significant barriers to both obtaining and sustaining housing.

Most communities have a shortage of housing "A lot of people just don't affordable for low-income households. Consequently, have anyplace to go." landlords can select the most appealing tenants, many of whom have higher incomes, and require a large — Network Member sum of cash for a deposit and first and last month's rent. There is little incentive for landlords to work with potential tenants who have lower incomes, little savings, credit problems, or unstable housing histories. Housing placement services can address many of the barriers homeless people face. Effective housing search services often include the following elements: ♦ Skilled housing search staff with knowledge of local housing markets and relationships ,vith landlords ♦ Marketing and outreach to landlords ♦ Incentives for landlords to rent to homeless households ♦ Assurances to landlords that the housing services agency will assist with landlord tenant problems ♦ Access to subsidies. su:,h as vouchers. for households with extremely low incomes ♦ Coordination with se: ,-ic; t_1 ensure that a homeless person's service needs are met once he or she =s =anent housing ♦ Periodic follow-up ,vork to prev,-n- a housing crisis ♦ Services to address credit nroO'=S iThe skills nece_sa_: eTeetively place homeless people in private market housing whine :hose of a realtor and a caseworker.

The number of state and local housing trust funds has significantly increased since the ' 1990s leveraging resources to increase the supply of affordable housing for low-income people. Some counties and cities have developed inclusionary zoning programs, requiri developers to include affordable housing units when building new developments. `�C'�'� ' 3 OOC.

If homelessness is to housing be addressed, significant developing of housing units must be a opportunities central strategy. for affordable permanent Recent census information illustrates the difficulty of obtaining housing affordable permanent housing in Yakima County. Rental units comprise 36 percent of all housing in the County. Due to the large transitory population in the county, combined with a population increase of nearly 2 percent a year, available rental housing is in short supply; currently there is only a 5.5 percent vacancy rate. This shortage of rental housing has, in turn, driven the cost of a single bedroom rental house to 5511 per month. Much the same is true for residential homes. The average price per home in Yakima County is $125,700 which represents an increase of 34 percent over the last ten rear «-pile median household income has only increased 30 percent over the same period.

INDEX fA �r- (V0 , • 20i/ i A SECTION 9 - INCOME Most homeless people will reenter housing without the benefit of a deep housing subsidy. For them, rehousing cannot occur without income. The quicker a minimab(livable income is obtained, the sooner a new home is possible. Many of the employment models explored as part of welfare reform show how people can quickly obtain work, in many instances paying enough to afford a minimal rent. In order to stabilize housing, however, people who have been rehoused must be linked with longer-term, career -based employment services, giving them the tools they need to increase their earnings. In locations with higher rent levels, this will sometimes be necessary even to initially escape from homelessness. Mainstream systems such as those funded by the federal government under the Workforce Investment Act should be used for this purpose. THE ROLE OF INCOME iN HOMELESSNESS Many homeless people are unable to work due to a disability, or unable to quickly earn enough to afford rent. They are often eligible Tor cash assistance from Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary "The wages they make aren't enough to Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) ' live on and they struggle from month to or similar programs.

Homelessness points out, this may — 1"enrork Member require exceptions to local TANF procedures, which in some places involve discouraging people from applying for benefits. These exceptions are worthwhile, however, because of the increased self-sufficiency that comes about as a result of more stable housing. The term economically disadvantaged encompasses several sub -populations that may be dealing with homelessness. Each group has its own set of extenuating circumstances that further complicate homelessness. The elderly. for example, may be on a fixed income, thus affecting their access to housing, medical and dental care, and medication. In general, the economically disadvantaged population tends to be homeless families in crisis. This includes domestic violence victims. These families face unaffordable housing Iand a shortage of supportive services. • Work does not pay for housing. According to the National Low Income Housing - ��: Coalition, there is no community in the nation in which a person working at minimum ` wage can afford to rent a one -bedroom unit. In Yakima County, a full-time worker would have to make $12.71 per hour in order to afford a two-bedroom rental unit. !441 1)0C. 11TV � ,8 20►� SECTION IX #-b SECTION 9 - INCOME Alternatively, a person working at minimum wage would have to work 69 hours a week on average to afford a two bedroom home.

Dill, RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STATE LEGISLATIVE AND POLICY CHANGES NEEDED TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS 1. Introduce legislation to prevent families from being evicted from November 1 - April 1 (winter months - similar to Minnesota law). 2. Increased funding for housing, food and utilities through the following State programs (ESAP, EFAP and LIHEP) and give a higher priority to serving the homeless. 3. Create easier ways within DSHS for homeless persons to access cash benefits similar to the national SOARS initiative. 4.

At Risk ofBecominiz Homeless Being on the brink of homelessness, often because of having extremely low income and paying too high a percentage of that income (typically 50 percent or more) on rent. Typically used to describe overnight sleeping capacity in shelters. Chronically Homeless Also described as "hard to serve" homeless. Individuals who are homeless more than one year or more than three times in last three years; with disability. Continuum of Care A community plan to organize and deliver housing and services to meet the specific needs of people «ho are homeless as they move to stable housing and maximum self-sufficiency. It includes strategies to end homelessness and prevent a return to homelessness. Domestic Violence Patterns of coercive control in an intimate relationship. This control may be seen in physical assault or in more subtle, but equally devastating ways. Verbal, emotional, financial, and sexual abuse, as well as isolation, fall under the realm of abusive behaviors. Domestic violence crosses all racial, economic, ethnic, and religious communities. Emergency Shelter Short-term shelter for emergency situations (usually for 30 days, although it can be longer). Homeless According to the Stewart B.

My physical address is 32o6 Folsom Ave #1, Yakima WA 989o2. Although I do not live in the vicinity of the property, I frequently pass it to do business in the neighborhood or travel between those businesses and the Yakima Rotary Food Bank at 703 Central Avenue, where I am a Board Member and Officer. I would like to address three issues raised by people commenting after me during the hearing • solely on the issue of compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. The first issue is the negative impact of dilapidated property and vacant lots on the neighborhood. There is testimony in the record that this property is dilapidated. If it is not renovated relatively soon, it will have to be torn down, creating yet another vacant lot in the neighborhood. Thus, the improvement of this property will not only improve this property, but also the surrounding neighborhood. The second issue is the substantial amount of fecal material throughout the neighborhood by people not utilizing bathrooms. Most, if not all, of the guests in our extreme weather shelter woke at least once a night to use bathrooms. In the two years our church participated in the shelter program we did not have a single request for a person to be able to go outside the church to urinate or defecate. All the guests used available bathrooms. Bathrooms will be available to those living in this facility. I strongly believe they will be used by those inhabitants based on the results in our shelter. The third issue is reporting of crime. It was reported that there is a drug house located two houses south of this property and that the entire neighborhood was aware of it. I do not know why the police were not contacted. This proposal will add eight trained individuals to the neighborhood who are aware of how to identify and report criminal activity. While protecting the residents of this facility, they will be adding to neighborhood protection. Thank you for the opportunity to expand upon my testimony at last Monday's meeting and • permit this letter to be entered into the public record. 0®C Submitted: 55%7 Fxhibif S ECEIVD • Date: May, 1, 2017 t"IAY 0 Y.

I believe that there is "probably significant adverse impact on the environment". The Yakima Valley Conference of Governments (YVCOG), Homeless Planning and Policy Council (HPPC) have apparently approved some funding for this. The money they are appropriating is from 6 years ago for a different project. ® How can this be approved now without a new Request for Proposal (RFP)? ® Is it appropriate that voting members of HPPC who are requesting money for this project also vote on the issue? The notification of only those within 300 feet of the edge of the property is not enough for its large size. The R-1 zone around this project has families living there. Neighbors within several blocks of where the homeless congregate can testify to them defecating and urinating on nearby property. Use of drugs and alcohol is noted. The homeless leave their garbage, including needles and broken bottles, wherever and do not respect other's property. Those who are felonious sex offenders have exposed themselves to young children that are walking with their parents to the bus. This proposal will create a magnet for homeless folks whether from Yakima or out of town. Other areas of town have been impacted by these kinds of projects. O I support the work of the Union Gospel Mission! It is those folks who are not treated by the Mission who linger, loiter and cause problems. The North First Street corridor used to be where visitors stayed in motels, and city residents went to dinner and shows. Now that is gone. © The South Naches Avenue area has had the same situation happen to it. • The motel is gone and several historic homes have been burned and destroyed. Homeless sleep in the tree shaded lawn between traffic lanes. DOC. INDEX Submitted: 5/1/11 .� �xhibik � clvo • ® More recently the area near "The Depot" has been impacted. If thiC11 y sR,.., .,. project is going to be anything like The Depot, then we already know it will significantly impact the city. The caf6/deli and Laundromat belong in a "Small Convenience Center (SCC) zoning district". That is the purpose of that zoning. At one time over 60 people would be housed at this facility. It is the proposed housing of up to 40 homeless people in 5 units to which I object. Decreasing the number of parking spaces from 34 to 15 is also problematic. Most of the neighborhood does not have off-street parking. That makes it difficult for current residents to find parking near their homes. The public and neighbors do not know what is happening regarding this project. Different types of housing have been described for this project in the media. ® Is it temporary or permanent housing for homeless folks? ® Is it only for single men or also for women? ® Is it a "wet clinic" where residents can use drugs and alcohol? Or is it "clean and sober housing"? ® Is it individual apartments for each resident? Or is it 5 pods where up to 8 people live in each one? ® Felon sex offenders are released from custody as "transient". They have no known address. Isn't that the definition of homeless? ® Are other felons going to be housed there? o Will there be a curfew, or will people be able to come and go at all hours? ® Will there be 24 hour staff monitoring of the project? ® When the homeless camp was on public land before locating across from the police station it appears those people were coached. They were coached as to their legal rights. Otherwise, how did they know that information so well? ® Why wasn't the homeless camp put on the fenced parking lot next to The Depot instead of across from the police station? ® Were other R-1 neighborhoods considered for this project? ® We have asked several times for the results of the "Point in Time Survey of Homeless" that is done the beginning of each year. If the report is anything like the 2016 survey (attached), then the data is worthless for making substantial decisions. Where are those 2017 results? What about the surveys done before 2016? ® Lastly and possibly most importantly: Yakima has long been promoting being a destination location for visitors. How does this project impact that goal of revitalizing downtown Yakima? • Thank you for your time regarding this issue this evening.

INTRODUCTION On December 19, 2016, Yakima Neighborhood Health Services ("YNHS") submitted a Type 2 Review, Administrative Adjustment, and State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review application to the City of Yakima ("City"). The land use applications request review of the conversion of the existing commercial building that was formerly the home of Roy's Market into a multifamily residential development that would provide housing to up to 40 residents, many of whom would be disabled and homeless, or are at risk of becoming homeless. The City of Yakima deemed YNHS' land use applications complete on February 23, 2017. In accordance with YMC § 15.14.020(A), the City's Administrative Official has determined that YNHS' land use applications shall undergo a Type (3) Review with an open record public hearing on Monday, May 1, 2017. CITY OF YAKIMA' S PREHEARING BRIEF - 1 �N MENKE JACKSON BEYER, LLP 807 North 39th Avenue Yakima, WA 98902 Telephone (509)575-0313 Fax (' Submitted: ahlbi-F 3 • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 016 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 • 29 30 0 1 2017 The City submits the following brief to the Hearing Examiner to provide guidancCITY OF YAKIMA Pl kl;]`a<::°: DIV and clarity as to whether the development envisioned in YNHS' land use applications is subject to the protections of the federal Fair Housing Act ("FHA"). See 32 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq. For the reasons set forth below, the City believes the development is within the coverage of the FHA. II. LEGAL ANALYSIS A. Legal principles applicable to determining whether a facility constitutes a "dwelling" for purposes of the FHA. The FHA makes it unlawful to "discriminate against any person in the terms, conditions, or privileges of sale or rental of a dwelling ... because of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin." 32 U.S.C. § 3604(b). The FHA defines a "dwelling," in part, as "any building, structure, or portion thereof which is occupied as, or designed or intended for occupancy as, a residence by one or more families...." 32 U.S.C. § 3602(b). The FHA does not define the term "residence," even though that term is central to the definition of what constitutes a "dwelling" under the statute. In the absence of an express statutory definition, courts applying and interpreting the FHA assume that Congress intended the term "residence" to have its ordinary meaning, which is "a temporary or permanent dwelling place, abode or habitation to which one intends to return as distinguished from a place of temporary sojourn or transient visit." Intermountain Fair Housing Council v. Boise Rescue Mission Ministries, 717 F. Supp. 2d 1101, 1109 (D. Idaho 2010) (internal citations omitted). In determining whether a building/facility is a "dwelling" for purposes of the FHA, courts are cognizant of the FHA's stated policy "to provide, within CITY OF YAKIMA' S PREHEARING BRIEF - 2 MENKE JACKSON BEYER, LLP 807 North 39th Avenue Yakima, WA 98902 Telephone (509)575-0313 Fax(509)575-0351 2C • • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7' 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 ,f, RECEIVED P"Ay 0 ? 201' constitutional limitations, for fair housing throughout the United States;" and generously construe the FHA to further the "broad and inclusive" compass of its protections. City of" '' ''y D!1! Edmonds v. Oxford House, Inc., 514 U.S. 725, 731 (1995). There are two factors relevant in determining whether a facility is a "dwelling" under the FHA: (1) whether the facility is intended or designed for occupants who intend to remain in the facility for any significant period of time; and (2) whether those occupants would view the facility as a place to return to during that period. Intermountain Fair Housing Council, 717 F. Supp. 2d at 1109 (quoting Lakeside Resort Enterps. v. Bd. of Supervisors of Palmyra Township, 455 F.3d 154, 158 (3rd Cir. 2006)). In evaluating whether a given facility satisfies these factors, courts have looked at whether space in the facility is leased to tenants in exchange for some sort of consideration. See Community House, Inc. v. City of Boise, 490 F.3d 1041, 1048 n.2 (9th Cir. 2007) (where the court had "little trouble concluding" that at least part of a facility constituted a dwelling under the FHA based upon the fact that the facility generated up to $125,000 per year in rent for 49 transitional housing units in which the tenants resided for up to a year and a half). Other courts have considered whether the individuals staying at the facility had any other place to "return to or reside." Woods v. Foster, 884 F. Supp. 1169, 1173-74 (N.D. Ill. 1995) (where the court held that because the people who lived in the facility had nowhere else to "return to, the facility was their residence in the sense that they lived there and not in any other place.") In Intermountain Fair Housing Council, the court concluded that the homeless shelter at issue was not a "dwelling" under the FHA based upon various restrictive conditions the shelter placed on its "guests," and the fact that guests were not charged a fee CITY OF YAKIMA' S PREHEARING BRIEF - 3 MENKE JACKSON BEYER, LLP 807 North 391h Avenue Yakima, WA 98902 Telephone (509)575-0313 Fax(509)575-0351 N®C'.

In that case, guests were required to ir14,, 0 1 201 leave the shelter in the morning and were not allowed to return until the late afternoon ffy OF YAKIfib Did, except to eat lunch. Id. at 1111. Once guests arrived at the shelter in the late afternoon/evening, they were prohibited from leaving. Id. Guests were generally only allowed to stay at the shelter for seventeen consecutive nights. Id. Guests did not have their own living space in the shelter. Id. Further, guests were not guaranteed the same bed each night they returned to the shelter, and they were not allowed to personalize the bed area assigned to them or leave their belongings in that area. Id. Guests were typically not allowed to receive telephone calls, mail or visitors at the shelter. Id. Based upon these conditions, the court concluded that the shelter was not intended or designed for occupants to remain there for any significant period of time and was therefore not a "dwelling," but instead was a place of "temporary sojourn or transient visit." Id. at 1111-12. Other courts have relied upon the conditions cited in Intermountain Fair Housing Council to determine whether a facility constituted a "dwelling" under the FHA by reviewing similar factors. See Smith v. Salvation Army, 2015 WL 5008261 *5-6 (W.D. Pa. 2015). B. The development proposed in YNHS' land use applications constitutes a dwelling under the FHA. The development planned by YNHS constitutes a "dwelling" for purposes of the FHA in light of the legal principles cited in the preceding section of this brief. Residents of the development will be required to execute a written month-to-month lease with YNHS that could last for a term of up to 24 months, for which residents will pay rent in kind. See Community House, Inc., 490 F.3d at 1048 n.2 (where the court found that the CITY OF YAKIMA' S PREHEARING BRIEF - 4 00 MENKE JACKSON BEYER, LLP V" 807 North 39th Avenue Yakima, WA 98902 Telephone (509)575-0313 Fax(509)575-0351 I RECEIVED 2 PRAY 01 2017 3 facility at issue constituted a dwelling under the FHA based upon leases entered between OTO OF YAKW#4 4 the facility and its residents); contra Intermountain Fair Housing Council, 717 F. Supp. 2d 5 at 1111 (where the court relied, in part, on the fact that guests were not charged a fee to 6 stay at the homeless shelter to conclude that the shelter was not an FHA "dwelling"). 7 Further, the restrictive conditions that the shelter involved in Intermountain Fair 8 9 Housing Council placed on its guests are not included in YNHS' planned development. 10 717 F. Supp. 2d at 1111. The residents of YNHS' planned development would each have 11 their own separate bedroom/living space, which they could decorate to their own personal 12 tastes, including possibly changing the paint color of their unit upon approval from YNHS 13 staff, and use to store their personal belongings. Contra id. (guests at the shelter did not 14 15 have their own separate rooms, were not guaranteed the same bed each night they • 16 returned, and were not allowed to personalize the bed area assigned to them). Further, 17 residents of YNHS' development would be allowed to receive telephone calls, as well as 18 receive mail, at the development. Contra id. (guests were generally not allowed to receive 19 telephone calls or mail at the shelter). Tenants at YNHS' development would also be 20 allowed to come and go from the development as they please, and would not be required 21 22 to leave/vacate their unit or the development during the daytime. Contra id. (guests could 23 not stay at the shelter during the day and were prohibited from leaving the shelter once 24 they arrived in the afternoon/evening). Finally, tenants at the YNHS development will be 25 allowed to receive visitors up until 10:00 p.m. Contra id. (guests at the shelter were 26 generally prohibited from having visitors).

CITY OF YAKIMA PU I Olv. Further, the fact that YNHS plans on entering into leases with tenants of the development that could extend up to 24 months reflects that the development is "intended or designed for occupants who 'intend to remain in the [facility] for a significant period of time."' Lakeside Resort Enterps., 455 F.3d at 158; contra. id. at 1111(the shelter at issue generally only allowed guests to stay for 17 consecutive nights). Under a liberal construction of the FHA, by entering into these lease agreements with YNHS, and by being able to store their belongings at the development, as well as receive mail, telephone calls and visitors at the development, it would be reasonable for prospective tenants of the development to consider it as a place to return, and therefore, their residence. See Lakeside Resort Enterps., 455 F.3d at 158; City of Edmonds, 514 U.S. at 731. III. CONCLUSION Based upon the facts and legal principles set forth above, the development planned by YNHS constitutes a "dwelling" under the FHA. DATED this lf� day of May, 2017. dME ON BEYER, LLP W.

Box 723 (509) 452-3419 CITY YAK11WA Yakima, WA 98907 011 May 1, 2017 Urban Area Hearing Examiner City of Yakima The League of Women Voters of Yakima County (LWVYC) supports the Yakima Neighborhood Health Services proposal for renovation of the property at 201 South 6' Street. The LWVYC has a commitment to work for fair housing and an expansion of housing supply for low income and homeless families and individuals. We believe the current proposal with its emphasis on the chronically homeless addresses a current and severe need in our community. The in-depth support and services proposed along with 24 hours a day onsite managers has the potential to increased self-sufficiency and housing stability in this difficult population. As a federally funded community health center, Neighborhood Health is a recognized leader in providing affordable, accessible, quality health care, and working to end homelessness and improve quality of life in our communities. We believe this housing project to be an appropriate expansion of their services and will help alleviate some of the neighborhood problems arising from homeless people having few options during the day other than being on the streets. Respectfully, Criss Bardill, Board Member League of Women Voters of Yakima County Dorn INDEX # -:r— '02 Submitted: �xhib�•+o2,
