The property is adjacent to a current Yakima Housing Authority (YHA) housing development, which the YHA would like to expand within the next 5-10 years to add low income housing to the development. Because one of the goals of the City is to increase affordable housing, which is also one of the goals of ONDS, it is requested that the City Council surplus the land and sell it to YHA to create additional affordable housing units within the City. The attached Resolution declares the property surplus to the uses and needs of the City of Yakima, authorizes disposition of the property, and approves the Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Yakima Housing Authority.
