Staff Announcements
Supervising Planner Jeff Peters reminded the Commission of the Comprehensive Plan
Update workshop/ open house on February 23rd. Looking ahead at the agenda, Peters
briefly explained why changes to Title 15 and Title 16 of the Yakima Municipal Code are
being considered.
Audience Participation
None noted.
Approval of Meeting Minutes of October 27 2015 and October 28 2015,
Commissioner Rose made a motion to approve the minutes of October 27, 2015 and
October 28, 2015 as written. Commissioner Anderson seconded the motion and the
motion carried unanimously.
Review of Code Updates: Title 15 and Title 16
Jeff Peters explained the purpose of Title 16 and pointed out issues in the document that
are being addressed through the code update process. Lisa Maxey, Planning Department
Assistant, presented a table of public notice requirements to incorporate into Title 15 of
the Yakima Municipal Code. She then described the types of noticing that the Planning
Division provides to the public including postcard notices, legal ads, and other forms.
Discussion ensued regarding information on land use signs, land use sign removal, and
possible methods of enforcement for land use sign removal. Peters added that any
monetary change, including the possibility of taking a deposit when land use signs are
picked up to be posted, would need to be approved by City Council. The Commission
had consensus to request staff to continue to research the option of taking a deposit and
report back to the Commission at a later meeting.
Commissioner Cook mentioned that in the future he would like to see all Planning permit
types included in the notice requirements table instead of only including the permit types
governed by Title 15.
Commissioner Cook and Chairman Clark brought up the idea of posting the staff report
for land use proposals on the City's website. Peters explained intent of the staff report
and agreed to look into it further.
Other Business
Valerie Smith reminded the Commission of the upcoming visioning open house for the
Comprehensive Plan Update. Smith also mentioned that she has started drafting the
Request for Consideration packet for the update process which will be available on
February 23rd at the visioning open house.
