MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Planning Division Staff
SUBJECT: Preliminary Review of TXT Amendment- Community Gardens
Date: June 11, 2014
As follow-up to our May docketing meeting, we have prepared the attached draft
documents regarding the research of community gardens permitted in WA Cities, and the
contents of the proposed text amendment application.
The Planning Division staff has conducted a preliminary review of the contents of the
proposed text amendment application. Although, the overall proposal is considered
appropriate, some of the details of the proposed regulations, administration, and
implementation may need further consideration.
At this time, we would like to provide the Commission with our preliminary research and
findings, and discuss the concerns that staff has regarding this proposal. The Commission
will serve the purpose of helping guide staff towards a more applicable action plan, in
regards to the needs of the citizens, property owners, and stakeholders of the City of
Yakima.
Some preliminary discussion topics include:
m Clear and appropriate definition of "Community Gardens";
o Size restrictions of a garden located on a single plot of record;
• Operation, maintenance and development agreement criteria;
• Level of review (YMC Title 15);
• The permitted uses within a Community Garden;
• The allowance of structures;
a Other regulatory considerations.
Most of the jurisdictions researched have established "Community Garden Programs"
that are administered by the cities' Parks Departments, which is not a proposed approach
for the City of Yakima at this time.

Re: Community Gardens
Proposal: Proposed text amendment for a New Use—"Community Gardens"—in the Permitted
Land Use section, definitions section, and other applicable sections of the Yakima Municipal
Code.
Definition proposed: "A community garden shall mean privately or publicly owned land used for
the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, or herbs by multiple users. Community
gardens may be divided into separate plots for cultivation by one or more individuals or may be
farmed collectively by members of a group and may include common areas maintained by group
members." (Please see attached application for more detail.)
Planning Staff Preliminary Review of Application File No.TXT #003-14:
Planning Staff conducted preliminary research and analysis regarding community gardens. The
research indicated the following to be appropriate for "Community Gardens" as defined by the
applicant:
• Community Gardens will have to be listed as a primary use in the Permitted Land Use
matrix, they cannot be listed as an "Accessory Use" because a "Community Garden" does
not meet the current "Accessory Use" definition of YMC Title 15.
• A "Community Garden" is different than:
a) a garden located on private property and clearly accessory to the primary use (i.e.
personal garden, food garden for use of property owners);
b) "urban agriculture"; and,
c) "collective garden" (associated with the growing of cannabis/marijuana).
• Per staff research it is recommended that a "Community Garden" shall be no more than
.5 acre in size
a Staff also wanted to acknowledge that the majority of jurisdictions researched have
placed the regulation/operation of community gardens into actual "Community Garden
Programs" that are run by the cities' Parks Departments. Staff's understanding is that
setting up a city -run "program" is not the intent of the applicant, nor is it feasible for the
city at this time.
• Greenhouses, hoop -houses, or other structures may not fit under the proposed definition
of "Community Garden"; but may be a permitted use if properly defined and regulated.
• BBQs/grills, picnic tables, pavilions, play-scapes, bike racks, and other recreational uses
shall be very limited and be located in the associated parking area, away from the plots
and garden area.
• Compost toilets are prohibited.
• The use of heavy machinery is prohibited, as that would change the proposed use from a
"Community Garden" use to an "Agriculture" use, which is already a permitted land use
in YMC Title 15.
• Parking requirements for gardens, not associated with a neighborhood, is recommended
to be 1 space for every 4 plots. Gardens associated with a neighborhood, subdivision,
apartment complex or planned development, etc., may have parking requirements
reduced, as long as there is a designated parking area that does not impede on
surrounding residences.
• Plots are typically 20x20 in size.
• Fencing and security gating of the garden's perimeter is recommended, and may be a
requirement of approval by the City.
• A stormwater drainage plan may be a requirement of approval.
• A contractual "operations/maintenance/development agreement" shall be a
requirement of approval, and the agreement should include criteria such as:
a) Signatlures of property owners and contracted parties;
b) Proof of liability insurance;
c) Proof of consideration of previous uses, and possibility of soil contamination;
d) Clear responsibilities and roles of the property owner v.s. plot lessor
(maintenance, fee collection, etc.);
e) Removal of trash/refuse, and the maintenance of on-site compost;
f) Produce grown may be shared or donated and not sold;
g) The prohibition of fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and other chemicals (i.e. only
organic methods allowed);
h) List those responsible for supplying water to the plots; and ensure that buckets,
and other areas where standing water might be located, be emptied nightly to
avoid migration/concentration of mosquitos and other pests;
i) And, all stormwater or other wastewater must be maintained/captured on-site;
j) Procedures to deal with dilapidated, neglected, or abandoned plots; and,
k) Other necessary use controls. (TBD)
Desired Zoning Districts: SR, R-1, R-2, R-3, B-1, B-2, SCC, CBD, GC, RD, M-1
Staff preliminary research and analysis of the current code indicated the following to be
appropriate for "Community Gardens" as defined by the applicant:
❖ The recommended zoning districts
are as follows:
„„
Community Garden associated with a
�_�mmm.
_.._
neighborhood, located in a neighborhood,
subdivision, apartment complex, or
planned development.
Garden area size <.5acres
Class (1) Review in the SR
Class (2) Review in the R-1, R-
zoning district
2, R-3, B-1, B-2 zoning districts
"Community Garden” not associated with
a neighborhood, located in a
neighborhood, subdivision, apartment
complex, or planned development.
Garden area size <.5acres
Class (1) Review in the SR, SCC,
Class (2) Review in the R-1, R-
LCC, GC, CBD zoning districts
2, R-3, B-1, B-2 zoning districts
❖ Please note that prior to city approval, all necessary site plan provisions and other permit
requirements must be provided in accordance with YMC Title 15.
In summary, Planning Staff believes the proposal to be appropriate, but the details of adoption,
implementation, and regulation are needing to be clearly defined. At this time we hope to have
an open discussion with the Yakima Planning Commission to receive guidance and feedback
regarding the proper action plan to continue processing this text amendment application.

Issue Proposed Language Comment
Overview ;
RC 36.70A provides the following goal to guide the development of
comprehensive plans and regulations under the Growth Management Act. To
"encourage the retention of open space and development of recreational
opportunities, conserve fish and wildlife habitat, increase access to natural i
resource lands and water, and develop parks. " The proposed zoning
ordinance is consistent with this goal.
In addition, community gardens are important community resources that
improve access to healthy food, enhance food literacy, build social
connections, and offer recreation, education and economic development
opportunities.
Definitions A community garden shall mean privately or publicly

The Clark County Gardens
Located Clark County's Heritage Farm at 78th Street in Hazel Dell, this property used to be the
site of the County's "poor farm", where poverty stricken families lived and worked during the early
part of the 20th Century,.
It was deeded to WSU for agricultural research in 1949. Ownership reverted back to the County in
2008. A commitment to the property's history, combined with a modern vision for sustainable
practices and community access, resulted in the opening of community gardens there in 2010

Food Gardening Program in Neighborhood Parks
PROCESS and CHECKLIST
Neighborhood Park - Food Gard'enin Partnershi with Nei hborhood Associations
This document is intended to be a guiding vision that will be modified per neighborhood
association and individual park site to allow for food gardening. These guidelines are meant to
ensure that the interest and expectations of all parties are identified, articulated and agreed to
prior to a project moving forward.
Below are the steps for creating a food garden in a neighborhood park:
1. Does your Neighborhood Action Plan include interest in Community/Food Gardens in
your park?
❑ Yes - Provide information from NAP
❑ No - Neighborhood Associations should consider an update in their neighborhood
action plan that addresses their interests in having a food garden site within the
association boundaries. Typically neighbors will have identified a key site or sites for
neighborhood gardens. An update of the action plan will include input from the
neighbors so as to support the idea moving forward, including immediate neighbors
to the park.
2. Which type of property is your neighborhood considering for a food garden?
❑ Private property - You will need to work out an agreement with the property owner.
Visit the r r,w nin ir7 y rw . prg website for information about setting up the
garden. Good luck with your project!
❑ City of Vancouver property — other than parks — these projects may be possible if the
site has no existing use which would preclude a community garden — i.e. stormwater
swale, or future development plans. Please include a map/location to Parks and we
will connect you with the correct staff person who can assist you with your request.
❑ City or County Park property — Contact the Parks Department for more information
and continue with this checklist.
❑ Other - Depending on the ownership of those properties, the neighborhood leaders
should work with the jurisdiction to clarify the department ownership and current
restrictions or future uses/programs for the property.
3. Is the neighborhoods food garden proposal for a developed Park?
❑ Is there a Park Master Plan developed for the site?
o Yes — please continue with this checklist
o No - A master plan update will need to be processed through the VCPRD
staff and Park and Recreation Advisory Commission. Staff will work with the
NHA to verify the location and size of the food garden is compatible with the
future site improvements, utilities, access, etc.
4. Is the neighborhoods food garden proposal for an undeveloped Park site (meaning
there are no improvements beyond fencing and mowing)?
❑ Yes - VCPRD will want to meet the NHA to confirm that there is interest and support
for a food garden site at this park site. Staff will identify a potential location and size
that works well on the site and will not preclude future development options on the
site. If the park is undergoing master planning and development, the NHA should
work with staff to identify and clarify the location and specific guidelines and
agreements for that particular site.
Food Gardens in Parks — POLICY Page 2 of 5
5. In the event that a food garden is compatible on the Park property, the following steps
would be utilized to move the project forward: (VCPRD = Parks Department; NHA =
Neighborhood Association)
❑ NHA — NHA leaders work within the citizens within the NHA to determine level of
interest for the garden plot. It is recommended that a minimum of 4
individuals/families will work on the garden each year to ensure appropriate labor is
available to maintain the site.
❑ NHA — update the Neighborhood Action Plan, as necessary
❑ NHA — complete a request to the VCPRD to review the potential for a garden in their
park (see attached)
❑ VCPRD and NHA — meet on site with interested neighbors to discuss parameters of
the garden project. Ensure that there is adequate space to serve the number of
plots, etc.
❑ Discuss the type of operations for garden (i.e. one communal garden or divided
plots, rental policy, fees, necessary amenities, etc.).
❑ Once the governing authorities have determined that the project is feasible, VCPRD
will conduct a master plan update process to ensure adequate neighborhood support
and that any issues or concerns are addressed. This will include at least one
neighborhood meeting, on-site is preferable. Master Plans (or updates to) need to
be approved by the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission.
❑ VCPRD will develop an agreement for development and maintenance per this policy
and guidelines, to be reviewed with the NHA. The document will be approved by the
Parks Director and the President (Chair) of the NHA. The agreement will outline a
schedule for garden improvements.
❑ VCPRD will coordinate an appropriate water connection for neighborhood use. A
water meter may be utilized to determine water use. If a water meter is in place, the
VCPRD will determine a rate for use based on historical data for community gardens
in Vancouver. The NHA will be responsible for an annual payment to the City or
County for the water use for the garden area, per the agreement.
❑ NHAs are responsible for the development of the food garden. Partner or volunteer
options may be available. VCPRD may be available to assist with the initial
development of the garden including sod removal, tilling, soil amendments, etc. This
will be determined in the agreement.
❑ The NHA will manage the annual maintenance for the garden including weeding,
control of the unauthorized expansion of the garden, litter removal, delineation of
plots in the spring, rental of the plots, end of season clean-up, etc. per the
agreement.
❑ The NHA will be responsible for managing the use of the gardens. The intent is to
allow local neighbors to have access to food gardens, but the gardens are required
to be open to the general public. All garden agreements will comply with the
City/County anti -discrimination policies.
❑ Terms and Conditions will be identified in the agreement, including timing of
development, water payment due date, terms for cancellation of the agreement,
dispute resolution, and other conditions.

Starting a community garden includes assembling a leadership team, selecting a site,
designing the garden, and determining how funding and/or in-kind resources will be developed to build the
and sustain the garden. All four components are dependent upon each other and will evolve between the
initial idea stage and project completion. You should be prepared to work on all components simultaneously.
Build a Team
No matter how much energy, enthusiasm or
experience a person has for a community
garden its success really depends on building a
core team. The team should consist of a
variety of stakeholders. Try to include
potential gardeners, leadership from the site
location (church, neighborhood business, etc.)
community garden experts, and any others
who can represent differed interests and view
points and diverse skills. One or two people
may be identified to serve as the project's lead
and should be committed to carrying the torch
for the project.

Go to top
Select a Site
The following conditions should be considered for siting a community garden:
http://communitygrown.org/community-gardens/getting-started/ 6/5/2014
Betting Ntartect - Uommunity (Drown Page 2 of 4
Regular access to sufficient water (several gallons per square foot each week).
Sun exposure for at least eight hours a day. (Six hours of sun is suitable for a few crops.)
Relatively level ground or the ability to level it.
Good soil on site or the ability to bring it in.
A secure location to avoid loss of produce.
Irrigation
Regular, frequent irrigation is a must for any vegetable garden, so you'll want to think about access to water
early in planning the location of your garden. A garden hose is an acceptable method of getting water from
the source to your garden.
Soil
In order to grow the healthiest plants possible, it is important to start with good soil. Test existing soil you
are considering using in the garden, for its make up, pH, organic matter and for toxicity. If the soil already on
site it is not of a high quality, you will want to bring in garden soil from a nursery.
The WSU Extension Clark County Master Gardener answer clinic can provide a free soil test kit and assist with
how to sample and interpret the results. (The actual soil testing includes fees starting at $15 for the basic
nutrients with pH and organic matter, and up depending on which tests you have done.) The Answer Clinic
office is located at 1919 NE 78th Street, Vancouver, Washington. The clinic is open to walk-in clients Tuesday
and Wednesday 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and Thursday and Friday from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM.
Find a Location
In many cases, people get the idea to build a community garden after discovering they have a possible site to
do so, such as a church congregation considering how to utilize vacant space. If you have already identified a
space, consider yourself lucky. Other times people come together wanting to establish a community garden
but not having an idea of where to do so. While this does add some challenge to the project, many a garden
has been sited on space identified after the desire to build a garden was developed.
You may start the process of finding a site by putting the word out and asking local churches, community
agencies, or local businesses that have vacant space, if they will support a neighborhood garden. Also check
with municipalities including city or county government to see if a park or other public space might be
considered.
While less frequently used for public gardens, privately owned property such as a neighbor's yard may make
a great site for your garden. While some may have concerns about a public garden on private property,
exercising appropriate precautions can go a long way toward making this a good solution.
Changel-ab Solutions legal toolkit was designed to help overcome the legal and practical barriers to
establishing community gardens on land that is not municipally owned. It provides several model agreements
and other documents that can easily be tailored, simplifying the process of building an agreement that
benefits both landowners and the community.
Contract with Property Owner
If the site is owned by a private entity, it may be appropriate to have something in writing to serve as a use
agreement. This is often called a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). If the site is on public lands, there may
be a process in place for implementing a garden, such as a Neighborhood Food Garden program in the City of
Vancouver. Note: not all public lands may be appropriate garden site locations given future improvement
considerations.

Design the Garden
Start Small
As with most new endeavors, starting small is a smart idea. You will learn a lot throughout the process of
starting your school garden and you'll want the chance to make mistakes and learn lessons on a small scale.
Installing one or two 4 x 8 raised beds in a site located very convenient to its users will give you a chance to
test what will work. You'll discover how much work it takes to prepare, seed, and care for a small garden and
can later decide to add more as you build the capacity to do more.
Make a Plan Drawing
Getting your garden concept on paper is an important step. It tells everyone involved that you are serious
and thoughtful about the project. It need not be professional, or fancy, but it should be to -scale, indicating
where existing infrastructure is and where new items will go. It should include areas defined for paths,
garden beds, storage structures, sitting areas, compost piles (or worm bins) entry and exit points, and
irrigation.
Plans Can Change!
The plans you start out with may very well not be the ones you end up with. Expect that the input you get
from the rest of the planning team may bring up challenges or ideas you did not think of. Use grid paper and
a pencil for early versions of the plans.
Raised Beds or In -Ground Gardens?
There are both pros and cons to each type. The University of Georgia, College of Ag and Environmental
Sciences has a p' bup.apun:aUoirn outining the differences between each.
Safety/Accessibility
The garden should be built with the appropriate safety measures and accessibility standards in place. Clark
County guidelines indicate the following with regard to path width and material make up, bed height, and
other requirements.
Go to top
Funding
The cost of installing and operating a community garden can vary widely depending on the size and
complexity of the garden. Most gardens develop through a combination of donations and purchases.
Develop a Budget
Just as with the development of the garden itself, the budget for the garden can expect to change over time.
As new ideas come about and old ones are discarded, funding needs expand and shrink and other means for
getting resources are developed. For example, the plan may start with purchasing new wood to build three 10
x 3 beds, but as a new partner is found, who can donate cinder blocks, that financial need may disappear.
And that change may precipitate the need for something different in another area, such as needing to get re -
bar to stake the blocks - something that was not in the original construction plan or budget.

Page 4 of 4
Develop literature, a sales pitch, and compelling story about the garden. In order to apply for grants, in-kind
support, or donations, you will need to be able to share your vision about the project. Consider developing
attractive informational flyers that outline the project - its mission and goals and include your contact
information. That way you can leave something with people who may want to think about participating as a
donor or volunteer.
[PDF sample flyer. Pending.]
Funding Sources
Grants
There are a number of small and large local, statewide, and national grant opportunities available
for community gardens each year. Smaller, local grants can be easier to get and are often much easier to
apply for than larger, national ones. So consider spending more of your time looking for these rather than
competing for the ones that attract schools from far and wide.
Check out the following grant opportunities.

Business Partnerships
Look for businesses in the area around the garden which may have the types of supplies you'll need to build
and support your garden. These include hardware stores, garden stores, nurseries, etc. Local, independently
owned businesses have a bit more freedom to offer in-kind donations, financial support, or volunteer work
than do the larger chain stores. However, don't rule them out altogether because their staff may be able to
contribute. Some of these large chains also have their own garden grant programs.

The City is interested in facilitating citizens'
ability to grow food to help make
µ dr
themselves and by extension, the City more
sustainable, The Water Department in J
particular has made property available for I 4
community gardening. This effort not only
reduces the City's need for lawn
maintenance but also can help meet
citizens' need for affordable, healthy, fresh
vegetables and fruit. A side benefit is the
significantly reduced transportation needed to get this fresh produce into homes,
The City of Spokane Community Garden Program is a collaboration between the City of
Spokane, the Spokane Regional Health District (health district), WSU Spokane County Extension
(WSU extension) and its Master Gardener Program and interested gardeners. Currently there are
three gardens up and running on City of Spokane Water and Hydroelectric Services Department
land, three on private property with Memorandums of Understanding and two on City of Spokane
Parks and Recreation land,
