presented reasoning for the proposed text amendments. On August 26th, 2015, the YPC held a
follow-up study session to adjust the proposed text amendments prior to the required public
hearing:
REQUEST AND PURPOSE:
1. YMC 15.02.020— Definitions (Applicant: Yakima Planning Commission and the City of
Yakima Planning Division):
Request: The City of Yakima is proposing definitions for "Children's Outdoor Recreation
Center", "Home Occupation Home Contractor", "Mobile Vendor", "Special Event", "Street
Vendor", and redefining "Home Occupation Business Administration" and "Clean and Sober
Facility". The new definitions are listed below:
"Children's Outdoor Recreation Center" - means an outdoor facility which offers children's
rides and/or games such as go-carts, bumper boats, batting cages, miniature golf and/or
similar activities for children not older than 16 years of age and which does not operate

"Home Occupation Business Administration" - means the accessory use of a dwelling as an
administrative office for a licensed commercial business located in an approved commercial
zoning district, or a home based internet business that does not involve the resale of
commercial goods. The home is used for phone calls, mail, -completing paperwork, and work

limited to, lawn care and/or snow removal services, building, electrical and plumbing,
contractors offices for small businesses.

"Clean and Sober Facility" — means a dwelling or building for occupation by rehabilitated
alcohol and/or drug users, during their re-entry into the community. The clean and sober
facility provides residentially oriented facilities for the rehabilitation or social adjustment of
persons who may need supervision or assistance in becoming socially reoriented, but who
do not need institutional care.
Over the past year, The City of Yakima Planning Division has received many inquiries and
requests, from the citizens of the City of Yakima, for the definitions and redefinitions listed
above. YPC, along with the Planning Division, have crafted new definitions that add
additional uses and better define existing uses within the City of Yakima.
Purpose: The purpose of YMC 15.02.020 provides general definitions for the terms and
phrases used in Title 15. Where any of these definitions conflict with definitions used in
other titles of the county/city code, the definitions in this chapter shall prevail for the
purpose of this title. The specific purpose for the new and revised definitions above are as
follows:
• "Children's Outdoor Recreation Center" —To create an appropriate definition
for a formerly undefined use within the City of Yakima, which was added by the
Hearing Examiner through a use interpretation.
• "Home Occupation Business Administration" —the purpose of redefining "home
Occupation Business Administration" definition is to remove ambiguity from the
YMC and create a separation from Home Contractor.
• "Home Occupation Home Contractor" —the purpose of the adding "Home
Occupation Home Contractor" is to create a new use for a home occupation
business that was not previously in the YMC. This new use is also meant to
maintain and protect residential neighborhoods from any adverse impacts that
may occur as a result of a Home Contractor Business.
• "Mobile Vendor" — the "Mobile Vendor" definition is meant to be cross
referenced with YMC Ch. 5.57.
• "Special Event" — "special Events" are included in YMC Ch. 15. The new
definition is being added to better disclose where the special event permit
process can be found.
• "Street Vendor" —the "Mobile Vendor" definition is being added as a cross
reference with YMC Ch. 5.57.
• "Clean and Sober Facility" —the purpose of redefining "Clean and Sober Facility"
is meant to bring the City of Yakima's definition into compliance with the
standards of the State of Washington's definition.
2. YMC 15.04.030, Table of Permitted Land Uses, Table 4-1 (Applicant: Yakima Planning
Commission and The City of Yakima Planning Division):
Request: Adding "Children's Outdoor Recreation Center"; changing "Office Contractor
Building and Trade (Plumbing, Heating, Electrical, and Painting) from a Class 2 to a Class 1
use in the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning district; and adding Mobile Vendor as a cross
reference to YMC Ch. 5.57. The proposed changes are listed below: ®®C.

zoned property into 12 single-family lots and environmental review of the proposal in its entirety.
II. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION:
The Administrative Official recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat, subject to conditions..
III. FACTS:
A. Statement of Cause:
Pursuant to YMC § 14.20, the applicant's statement in the Preliminary Long Plat
application and Environmental Checklist dated June 8, 2015, requests this subdivision of

DOC.
INDEX
B. Comprehensive Plan.
The 2025 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map 111-3 designate the subject
property as suitable for Medium Density Residential development. The Medium Density
Residential designation is characterized as "Characterized by a mixture of single-family
detached residences and duplexes, with a variety of other housing types at a residential
density ranging between 7.0 and 11.0 dwelling units per acre". This proposed
preliminary plat for single-family residences has a density of approximately 3.30 dwelling
units per net residential acre, which is lower than that designation.
Generally, the proposed preliminary plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's
other provisions which encourage infill, recognize the need for public water and sewer,
encourage disposal of surface drainage on-site, and encourage development consistent
with the general land use pattern in the area..
The Goals and Policies that apply to this designation and proposed land use are as
follows:
Goal 3.11: Provide for a broad distribution of housing in Yakima that meets the
affordability and neighborhood design needs of the public.
Goal 3.2: Build sustainable new neighborhoods
Goal 3.3: Preserve existing neighborhoods
Policy 3.3.2: Ensure that new development is compatible in scale, style, density and
aesthetic quality to an established neighborhood.
C. Urban Area Zoning Ordinance.
The main purpose of the Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance Yakima Municipal Code
(YMC) Title 15 (UAZO) is to implement the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan
and promote the general health, safety and welfare of the present and future inhabitants
of the Yakima Urban Area. YMC § 15.01.030 describes the goals and policies intended
to promote the purpose of the UAZO. Subsection 15.03.020(C) of the UAZO indicates
that the intent of the Two -Family Residential (R-2) zoning district is to establish and
preserve residential neighborhoods for primarily detached single-family dwellings,
duplexes and other compatible uses and to locate residential development with densities
up to twelve dwelling units per net residential acre in areas served by public water and
public sewer.
D. Environmental Review.
This project underwent a State Environmental Policy Act review because it did not fall
below the City of Yakima's flexible threshold for SEPA, as established in YMC 6.88.070.
Furthermore, on September 28, 2015, the City of Yakima completed its environmental
review of the Preliminary Plat by issuing a Determination of Non -Significance on the
proposal which was not appealed during the 14 -day appeal period that ended on
October 12, 2015.
E. Processing.
1. The application for Preliminary Long Plat and Environmental Review were originally
received on June 8, 2015.
2
2. The applications were deemed complete for processing on July 9, 2015.
3. The proposed plat is larger than nine lots, and is therefore being processed under the
provisions of YMC § 14.20 & 6.88.
4. Pursuant to RCW Ch. 58.17, YMC § 1.42.030 and YMC § 14.20.100, the City of Yakima
Planning Commission (Planning Commission) is authorized to make a recommendation
for approval or disapproval, with written findings of fact and conclusions to support the
recommendation to the City Council on preliminary plats. Within ten working days of the
conclusion of a hearing, unless a longer period is agreed to in writing by the applicant,
the Planning Commission shall render a written recommendation which shall include
findings and conclusions based on the record.

hundred fifty percent of restoration fee with no PCI discount.
iv. Easements will need to be established per YMC Ch. 12.02.
V. Pursuant to YMC § 12.06.020 street and right of way widths shall conform to this
section unless otherwise approved. 50' of right of way is required for the new
streets. Summitview Ave. is classified as a Minor Arterial, requiring a total of 80'
of right of way. It appears that there is 40' of right of way along the subject
parcel, which would be adequate.
vi. Pursuant to YMC § 12.06.060 temporary dead-end streets shall be provided with
a temporary cul-de-sac at the closed end and the design shall provide for
continuation of the full right-of-way width to the property boundary.
vii. Pursuant to YMC § 12.06.080 a street light shall be installed at each street
intersection and at mid -block if the block exceeds five hundred feet in length.
Street lights shall meet the design and placement standards of the city engineer.
Lighting improvements shall become the property of the city of Yakima upon
installation and will thereafter be maintained by the city.
c. Stormwater:
i. For the long plat of the property there are no drainage requirements. However, if
the applicant proceeds with any utility work prior to getting approved civil plans,
an erosion and sediment control plan must be in place before turning any dirt and
approved by the City of Yakima Surface Water Engineer prior to construction.
d. Nob Hill Water:
"... Nob Hill Water currently is able to serve domestic water to this development."
e. Transit
i. Yakima Transit currently provides fixed -route bus service along Summitview
Avenue (Route 1) south of this site within the FTA defined walk -to -route distance
of 3/4 of a mile. There are sidewalks along the site's frontage, Summitview.
ii. Yakima Transit provides limited services for school -aged children, including
those that do not qualify for the school district's bussing program, because they
are within a mile of the school. The following schools are located within a mile of
the proposed subdivision:
1. Apple Valley Elementary School (0.25 miles)
2. Cottonwood Elementary School (0.79 miles)
iii. Because the proposed subdivision is within Transit's service area and near
facilities for school -aged children, sidewalks should be installed along all the
roads throughout the proposed subdivision to accommodate special population
group's accessibility to the bus system.
iv. For Yakima Transit, the proposed development has a relatively low impact on
transit services even if Class 1 permitted duplexes were built on the proposed
lots. No additional transit -related improvements are needed for the proposed
development.
f. Wastewater:
i. Per YMC § 12.03.010, all new lots and development shall be served by a
sanitary sewer line located adjacent to the lot or development site.
ii. Per YMC § 12.030.070, each building containing sanitary facilities shall be
served by a separate and independent private side sewer to the public main.

Determination of Non -Significance on September 28, 2015, and the environmental
determination was not appealed during the 14 -day appeal period which lapsed on
October 12, 2015.
4. URBAN AREA ZONING ORDINANCE UAZO
Zoning: The subject property is zoned R-2.
A) Lot Coverage: The maximum lot coverage permitted in the R-2 zoning district is
60% and all lots will comply with that limitation.
B) Lot Size: The preliminary plat indicates lot sizes that range from 7,007 square feet
to 15,291 square feet. Table 5-2 of Ch. 15.05 of the UAZO provides that the minimum lot
size for a single-family dwelling is 6,000 square feet.
C) Lot Width: Table 5-2 of Chapter 15.05 of the UAZO prescribes a minimum lot width
of 50 feet and all proposed lots meet that requirement.
D) Density: With a density of about 3.30 dwelling units per net residential acre, the
proposed preliminary plat complies with YMC § 15.05.030(B) and Table 4-1 of Ch. 15.04
of the UAZO which prescribe a maximum of 12 dwelling units per net residential acre in
the R-2 zone.
5. SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE:
As proposed, and with the recommended conditions, this preliminary plat meets all the
design requirements of YMC Ch. 14.30 of the City's subdivision ordinance and the
development standards of YMC Title 12. The recommended conditions are intended to
ensure consistency with the provisions of the City's subdivision ordinance and that
appropriate provisions are provided for the following:
A) Public health, safety, welfare: The construction of new detached single-family
dwellings which will complement adjacent uses will promote the public health, safety and
general welfare insofar as there is a need in this community for single-family dwellings
and insofar as this proposed preliminary plat would be required to comply with all
applicable City development standards, and all conditions of approval specified by the
City Council.
B) Open spaces: The proposed lots are larger than the minimum sizes required in the
R-2 zoning district. A lot coverage of 60% or more in the R-2 zoning district will provide
adequate light and air for future residents in accordance with the standards in the zoning
ordinance without additional open spaces.

PLAT PLAN CHECKLIST & INSTRUCTIONS
In Order For Application To Be Determined Complete, A Plat Plan Must Be Completed And Returned.
A Detailed Plat Plan Is Required: On August 8, 1996, the City Council passed a resolution (No. R-96-91) adopting a
requirement that all site plans submitted in conjunction with any building permit application, land use application, and
environmental application shall contain certain information and be approved by the appropriate Division Manager. All
information that is applicable to your proposal shall be checked off and clearly displayed on the plat plan. It is in the applicant's
best interest to provide a carefully drawn and scaled plat plan with all required information. The decision on whether or not to
grant approval of your development proposal is largely based on the information you provide. An application cannot be processed
until an adequate plat plan is submitted.
Please complete this checklist and include it with your plat plan. The plat plan must contain all pertinent information. Items not
applicable to the proposed project shall be noted.
1) Use Ink: Use blue or black permanent ink. It may be helpful to draft the plat plan in pencil then trace over in ink. Ink is
necessary for adequate duplication.
2) Use A Straight Edge: All lines must be straight and done with the aid of a ruler or other straight edge. Use a compass when
delineating circular drawings such as cul-de-sacs. Computer drafted plat plans are acceptable and preferred.
3) Draw To Scale: Plat plans shall be drawn to scale. The plat plan template has a suggested map scale of one inch equaling
twenty feet (1"=20'). Distances on the map must be as representative of reality as possible. For example, if the distance from
a structure to a property line is 20 feet, the distance on the plat plan will be 1 inch.
4) Use Plat Plan Checklist: Use the plat plan checklist and provide all applicable information on the plat plan.
5) Fill In The Following Information On A Plat Plan:
Note: You may benefit from the aid of a professional in the preparation of a plat plan.
Chec
Note: Planning Division or reviewing official may require additional information to clarify the proposal, assess its
impacts, or determine compliance with the YMC and other laws and regulations.

PARCEL NOs:181319-24402
COMMENTS:
Yakima Transit currently provides fixed -route bus service along Summitview Avenue (Route 1) south of
this site within the FTA defined walk -to -route distance of 3/4 of a mile. There are sidewalks along the site's
frontage, Summitview.
Yakima Transit provides limited services for school -aged children, including those that do not qualify for
the school district's bussing program, because they are within a mile of the school. The following schools
are located within a mile of the proposed subdivision:
• Apple Valley Elementary School (0.25 miles)
• Cottonwood Elementary School (0.79 miles)
Because the proposed subdivision is within Transit's service area and near facilities for school -aged
children, sidewalks should be installed along all the roads throughout the proposed subdivision to
accommodate special population group's accessibility to the bus system.
For Yakima Transit, the proposed development has a relatively low impact on transit services even if Class
1 permitted duplexes were built on the proposed lots. No additional transit -related improvements are
needed for the proposed development.
Transportation Goals and Policies:
Goal T-8.2 - Policy 1: Determine the need for accommodating special population groups at the Transit Stop
Improvement Project level such as accessibility and ADA requirements, concentration of school age or elderly
residents or other unique land use issues. (Yakima Urban Area Transportation Plan 2025, Ch. 8, p.3)
Goal T-8.2 - Policy 2: Coordinate Transit Stops and other facilities at the Project level, including the need for
additional or relocated Transit Stops, Bus Pull-outs, Shelters or other special improvements. (Yakima Urban Area
Transportation Plan 2025, Ch. 8, p.3)

RIDGE HOMES LLC — Rainier Court
Project Description — Proposed long plat that will subdivide 3.64 acres into 12 Single -Family
residential lots in the R-2 zoning district.
This project requires Title 12 improvements, including but not limited to the following:
8.67 and 12.05 — New curb, gutter and sidewalk required within new development. Street section
shall conform to standard detail R3. New sidewalks shall be constructed per standard detail R5.
8.64 — Driveways to be constructed per this chapter and standard detail R4. Any existing driveway
that is abandoned or not used shall be replaced with standard curb and sidewalk.
8.72 — An excavation and street break permit shall be obtained for all work within the public right
of way. Refer to chapter 8 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.
12.02 — Easements will need to be established per this chapter.
12.06.020 — Street and right of way widths shall conform to this section unless otherwise approved.
50' of right of way is required for the new streets. Summitview Ave. is classified as a Minor
Arterial, requiring a total of 80' of right of way. It appears that there is 40' of right of way along
the subject parcel, which would be adequate.
12.06.060 - Temporary dead-end streets shall be provided with a temporary cul-de-sac at the closed
end and the design shall provide for continuation of the full right-of-way width to the property
boundary.
12.06.080 Street lighting.
A street light shall be installed at each street intersection and at mid -block if the block exceeds five
hundred feet in length. Street lights shall meet the design and placement standards of the city
engineer. Lighting improvements shall become the property of the city of Yakima upon installation
and will thereafter be maintained by the city
N. 88`' Ave., between Summitview Ave. and Juanita D., shall be constructed to a minimum
standard residential street section per standard detail R3, with a minimum 20' wide pavement
width (excluding curb/gutter and sidewalk). The connection of N. 88A Ave. to Summitview Ave.
shall be modified from the existing residential driveway to a typical street intersection connection
with curb radiuses as approved.
All frontage improvements shall be completed prior to Certificate of Occupancy. Civil engineering
plans for public improvements shall be approved prior to issuance of building permits.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA)
(AS TAKEN FROM WAC 197-11-960)
YAKIMA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 6.88
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), RCW Ch. 43.21C, requires all governmental agencies to consider the
environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared
for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist
is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts
from the proposal, if it can be done and to heli) the gene decide whether an EIS is ret uirerl.
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use
this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an
EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must
answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer
the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the
answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the
questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning,
shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies
can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time
or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental
effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional
information reallonablz related to dete:rniis7ing if there ma be sianific4int, adverse im2act.
MMEMBI�:1, 1:111111111",
Complete this checklist for non -project proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN
ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D).
For non -project actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be

Subject: Notice of Decision for Transportation Concurrency
12 Single Family Homes
Dear Applicant,
Enclosed is the Decision for the Transportation Concurrency Analysis of the proposed
development of 12 Single Family Homes located at 8911 Summitview Avenue, within
the City of Yakima, Washington. This development has been APPROVED for
Concurrency Analysis. Concurrency review determined that reserve capacity is
available on all impacted arterial streets. Concurrency review does not evaluate impact
to local access streets or street intersections. This review does not include safety or site
design issues which will be addressed at the project review level of zoning and SEPA.
This review concluded that the proposed development will not exceed the capacity of
the arterial street system and reserve capacity exists on all impacted arterial streets.
Please review the enclosed report. You may appeal the Findings of this report or request
Administrative Reconsideration within fifteen (15) days from the date of mailing of this
Notice. Appeal forms and procedures are available at the Department of Community
and Economic Development. If you have any questions, please call me at (509) 576-
