City of Yakima Planning Division's Recommendation
Growth Management Act Updates
TO: City of Yakima Planning Commission
FROM: Joseph Calhoun, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: City of Yakima Growth Management Act (GMA) Updates
FOR MEETING OF: May 10, 2017
ISSUE:
Yakima Planning Commission (YPC) consideration and public hearing of GMA Updates,
including:
1. City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040
a. Transportation Systems Plan
b. Capital Facilities Plan
2. Development Regulations
3. Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The City of Yakima Planning Division recommends that the YPC hold the required public
hearing, take public input, revise the draft(s) as necessary, and forward the Planning
Commission's recommendation to the Yakima City Council for further consideration.
PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION OF GMA UPDATE:
The GMA requires cities to periodically update and, if needed, revise its Comprehensive
Plan and Development Regulations to ensure the plan and regulations comply with the
requirements of RCW 36.70A. Per RCW 36.70A. 1 30(5)(c), the City of Yakima shall
complete review and adoption of necessary updates by June 30, 2017. The components
of this update are described in detail below.
City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040:
The City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 (Comp Plan), is a long-range planning
document that guides Yakima's physical development over the 2017-2040 period. It
describes community values, directs municipal activities and services, and provides a
statement of policy about Yakima's desires for growth and character. This 2017 Comp
Plan fulfills the period review requirements of the GMA and replaces the 2006
Comprehensive Plan and associated amendments.
The Comp Plan underwent 4 major phases of review, beginning in 2015.
Phase `I Buildino Awareness: focused on creating a dedicated web page and
developing outreach materials and tools while spreading the word on upcoming
No
outreach activities and ways to participate. A Citizen participation plan was
adopted on May 19, 2015
Phase 2 "isionin focused on public comment and feedback on Yakima's vision
statement. A City Council workshop, public workshop, and online survey were
conducted over February and March 2016, and results were posted on the City's
website. In May 2016, a Planning Commission hosted public open house and
workshop addressed the Vision Statement and Land Use Plan.
Phase 3 Draft Plan: feedback and comments from previous efforts were utilized
to create a draft plan. The Planning Commission held study sessions on the draft
plan from September 2016 through April 2017. A full release of the draft plan was
available in March 2017 with a 60 -day public comment period. In April 2017, the
City Council and Planning Commission held a joint study session to view the plan
elements. Also in April 2017, a public open house was held.
Phase 4 Proposed Plan: involves Planning Commission and City Council public
hearings and deliberations to wrap up the update process.
The Comprehensive Plan includes the following mandatory and optional elements (a list
of changes from previous drafts is found in Appendix A and Appendix B:
Land Use: This element designates the proposed general distribution and
general location and extent of the uses of land. The element includes population
densities, building intensities, and estimates for future population growth.
Key amendments to the Land Use Element include:
1. Reduction in Future Land Use Map (FLUM) categories from 10 to 7 in
order to streamline 'minor' rezones_
2. Updated FLUM goals and policies that encourage a broad mix of uses
and densities.
3. Goals and policies focused on infill development and adaptive re -use.
4. A continuation of goals and policies specific to the Cascade Mill site.
5. The consideration of 17 citizen/property owner requests for changes in
the FLUM. 13 of the requests were implemented in the draft plan.
Historic I reser ation 0 ti nct This element complies with the GMA goal to
"Identify and encourage the preservation of lands, sites, and structures that have
historical or archaeological significance." (RCW 36.70A.020(13)) The purpose of
this element is to help Yakima direct the historic preservation programs within the
community. The goals and policies of the Historic Preservation element are
consistent with the recently adopted Historic Preservation Plan.
Economic N lor rnq This element provides information on the current state
of the City's economy and the potential support job growth. It includes a
summary of the local economy such as population, employment, payroll, sectors
and businesses; a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the local
economy; and an identification of policies, programs, and projects to foster
Page 12
economic growth and development. The plan draws from the 2017-2021
Economic Development Strategic Plan.
I I Qq This element encourages the availability of affordable housing to all
economic segments of the population, promotes a variety of residential densities
and housing types, and encourages preservation of existing housing stock.
Trammn ppprt tion: This element, in conjunction with the Transportation Systems
Plan (TSP), establishes a multimodal transportation plan that is consistent with
the Land Use element. The element and TSP are based on traffic forecasts from
Yakima's existing transportation network with recommended projects, LOS, and
forecast analysis to 2040. The element and TSP includes goals and polices that
support general planning and safety, transportation network efficiency, active
transportation, funding, economic activity, and interjurisdictional coordination.
The use of the YVCOG Travel Demand Model (TDM) was a major component
used to draft the TSP. Estimated 2040 land use inputs were modeled to analyze
future traffic demand, LOS analysis, and identify future projects.
Additional considerations in the Transportation Element and/or TSP include:
1. Coordination with the Yakima Bicycle Master Plan.
2. Identification of primary and secondary bicycle/pedestrian corridors.
3. Identification of potential truck routes.
4. Travel context classification by mode — auto priority, bike/ped priority,
shared priority.
5. Consistency with the Yakima Air Terminal Master Plan.
Capital Facilities: This element, in conjunction with the Capital Facilities Plan
(CFP), is intended to ensure adequate public facilities such as water,
wastewater, irrigation, etc., are available to serve existing and new development
in an efficient, effective, and equitable manner. The CFP provides an inventory
of existing facilities, future infrastructure needs based upon LOS, identified
funding sources, and goals and policies that create a framework for capital facility
planning.
Utilities" This element provides an overview and inventory of existing natural gas,
electricity, and telecommunications purveyors in Yakima. The element provides
goals and policies that ensure coordination with these providers when growth
and development occurs.
Parks and Recreation: This element draws from the Parks and Recreation
Comprehensive Plan 2017-2021 (draft). The element, along with the 2017-2021
plan, guides future park acquisition, development and management that meets
LOS standards.
Natural Environment: This element examines the following elements of the
environment: air, water, soil, and living organisms and summarizes the existing
conditions of Yakima with respect to those components, and identifies future
goals or management.
Shorelines,: This element incorporates the goals and polices adopted in 2014 as
part of the SMP update into the Comprehensive Plan.
:nerg,yO�tinal This optional element identifies opportunities and key issues
related to the promotion of renewable energy facilities in the City of Yakima.
Goals and Policies encourage and support the incorporation of renewable energy
sources in future projects and development.
Development Regulations:
The following Development Regulations changes are proposed.
YMC 14.20.160: Revision of Final Plat timelines, consistent with RCW
36.70A.030.
YMC 15.06,030: New language allowing electric vehicle charging stations,
consistent with RCW 36.70A.695.
Critical Areas Ordinance/Shoreline Mastgr Prog_raM BAS. Several changes are
being incorporated into YMC Ch. 15.27 (CAO) and YMC Title 17 (SMP) for
consistency with Best Available Science. Recommended changes are shown in
Appendix C and Appendix D.
Subsequent development regulation updates will follow as implementation of the
adopted plan is fulfilled. These are specified in the Implementation sections at
the end of each Comp Plan Element.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IEW SEPA
The City of Yakima processed these GMA amendments as a Draft Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS). The process began with a Determination of
Significance and Scoping Notice on October 13, 2016. The Draft SEIS was issued with a
60 -day public comment period on March 17, 2017. The Draft SEIS considered the
following alternatives:
Alternative 1 No Action — Current Comprehensive Plan: This alternative is required
by the State Environmental Policy Act. It assumes the 2006 Comprehensive Plan (as
amended through 2016) remains in place including its policies, land use plan, and
codes. Growth would occur based on current plans and zoning at a level above growth
targets.
Action Alternative 2 — Plan Update — Infill, Mixed Use, and Higher Growth: This
alternative updates the Comprehensive Plan to promote a vision of equity in plans and
strategies, growth in already developed areas where there is infrastructure, and a well-
designed compatible land use pattern. This alternative implements the recommended
actions by the Planning Commission that promote infill and greater land use
compatibility. Growth would occur based on a revised land use plan and zoning at a
level higher than growth targets.
Per WAC 197-11-460, the Final EIS (FEIS) will be issued and sent to the Department of
Ecology, agencies with jurisdiction, and all parties of record who commented on the
DEIS at least seven days prior to adoption of the Comprehensive Plan and Development
Regulations.

INTRODUCTION
APPENDIX C
CRITICAL AREAS REGULATIONS UPDATE
BEST AVAILABLE SCIENCE RECOMMENDATIONS
With passage of the Growth Management Act (GMA), local jurisdictions throughout Washington State (State), including the City of Yakima (City), were
required to develop policies and regulations to designate and protect critical areas. The GMA directs jurisdictions to periodically conduct a thorough
review and update their Comprehensive Plan and regulations (Revised Code of Washington [RCW] 36.70A.130). The City originally developed its first
critical areas regulations in 1998 as Chapter 15.27 of its Yakima Municipal Code (YMC), and adopted revisions in 2008 and 2009 based on the then -
current best available science (BAS).
The City is currently undergoing a comprehensive review and update of its Comprehensive Plan and development regulations. When updating critical
areas policies and regulations, jurisdictions must revisit the standards to establish that they are based on the most recent BAS and "give special
consideration to conservation or protection measures necessary to preserve or enhance anadromous fisheries" (RCW 36.70A.172).
Critical areas, as defined by the GMA (RCW 36.70A.030(5)), include:
1) Frequently flooded areas (Part Four of YMC 15.27),
2) Fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas (Part Five),
3) Wetlands (Part Six),
4) Geologically hazardous areas (Part Seven), and
5) Critical aquifer recharge areas (Part Eight).
The following table provides recommendations for revisions to the 2009 critical areas regulations based on recent advances in BAS, as well as
improvements to support clarity, ease of use, and general consistency with the RCW and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), and to eliminate
redundancy and conflict with Title 17 (Shoreline Master Program [SMP] Regulations) YMC. Key areas of recommended change are as follows:
1) In the Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas section, broaden the application to more than "hydrologically related critical areas" and
update the stream typing and buffer system.
DRAFT, September 2016
YAKIMA COMPREHENSIVE PL°" UPDATE
CRITICAL AREAS RL ,ATIONS
2) In the Wetlands section, implement updates for consistency with the recently modified wetlands regulations in the SMP and recently issued
science -based wetland guidance.
3) In the Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas section, extensively revise to fill the risk gap left by deferring regulation of this resource primarily to state
and federal law.
The scientific information reviewed during development of these recommendations is included in the last column of the table and listed in the
References section at the end of this document.

In. Category. H wetlands are difficult, though not impossible, to replaces and provide high levels of some
functions. These wetlands occur more commonly than Category 1 wetlands, but still need a relatively high
level of protection.
c: Category 111 wetlands are wetlands with a moderate level of functions and can often be adequately
replaced with a well-planned mitigation project. These wetlands generally have been disturbed in some
ways and are omen less diverse or more isolated from other natural resources in the landscape than
Category 1€ wetlands.
d. Category W wetlands have the lowest level of functions and are often heavily disturbed. These are
wetlands that should be able to be replaced and, in some cases, improved: However, experience has
shown that replacement cannot be guaranteed in any specific case. These wetlands may, provide some

2017 Development Regulations Update
15.27.130 Intent of chapter.
A. This chapter establishes policies, standards, and other provisions pertaining to development within designated
critical areas regulated under the provisions of the Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A) and development
c r
regulated under the National Flood Insurance Program. ��,q�ua�dp Vntq;��ia aM gan,�.pnsCis1a pnna�� �vnt(llile iu�u.��gay�9 �,��u�,�a n°�aaa�a'�w��

190-030. These areas are of special concern to the people of the city of Yakima and the state of Washington because
they are environmentally sensitive lands, or hazardous areas, which comprise an important part of the state's natural
resource base. The policies, standards, and procedures of this chapter are intended to:
1. Preserve development options within designated critical areas where such development will result in the
level of "no net loss” of the functions and values of the critical areas;
2. Where appropriate, avoid uses and development which are incompatible with critical areas;
3. Prevent further degradation of critical areas unless the degradation has occurred beyond feasible
protection;
4. Conserve and protect essential or important natural resources;
5. Protect the public health, safety, and general welfare;

7. Implement the goals and requirements of the Washington Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A), and
the National Flood Insurance Program (CFR Title 42);
8. Recognize and protect private property rights; and
9. Provide development options for landowners of all existing lots to the greatest extent possible, through the
establishment of adjustment, reasonable use, and nonconforming use and facility provisions.
B. The policies, standards and procedures of this chapter are not intended to:
1. Regulate the operation and maintenance of existing, legally established uses and structures, including but
not limited to vegetative buffers on existing uses that have been reduced in width prior to the effective date of
this chapter;
2. Result in an unconstitutional regulatory taking of private property;
3. Require the restoration of degraded critical areas for properties in a degraded condition prior to the
effective date of this chapter, unless improvement of the buffer is needed for new development proposed on the
property;
4. Presume that regulatory tools are the only mechanism for protection; or
5. Prohibit the use of valid water rights. (Ord. 2008-46 § 1 (part), 2008).
15.27.140 Applicability.
A. The provisions of this chapter shall apply to any new development, construction, or use within the incorporated
portion of the city of Yakima.,ok.d.sid gat„ ,1pav,� RA�p .N� n nr,rlu In s �,_ a aaap i -urban -are designated as a critical
area and upon any land mapped and designated as a special flood hazard area under the National Flood Insurance
Program. However, this chapter does not apply to the situations below, except that the flood hazard protection
provisions of Part Four of this chapter will continue to apply as determined by YMC 15.27.400 through 15.27.406:
The Yakima Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2015-047, passed December 8, 2015.

2017 Development Regulations Update
1. Within designated critical areas, there may exist lots, structures, and/or uses which were lawfully
established prior to the adoption of this chapter, as provided below, but which would be subsequently
prohibited, regulated, or restricted under this chapter. Such existing lots, structures, and/or uses shall be
classified as legally nonconforming uses.
2. It is the intent of this chapter to permit these pre-existing legally nonconforming uses and structures to
continue until such time as conformity is possible:
a. Critical areas on federally owned lands are not subject to the provisions of this chapter;
b. Minor, temporary, or transient activities (including those of a recreational nature) that do not alter the
environment or require a dedicated staging area, use area, or route (including temporary signs) are not
subject to this chapter;
c. Mining, as defined in YMC 15.27.200, which is carried out under a Washington Department of
Natural Resources reclamation permit is not subject to the geologically hazardous areas provisions of this
chapter for erosion hazard areas, oversteepened slope hazard areas, landslide hazard areas and suspected
geologic hazard areas. Other critical areas provisions continue to apply.
B. The adoption and amendment dates of the relevant regulations are provided below:
1. Critical areas ordinance adopted 1998;
2. Flood hazard ordinance adopted 1981; and
3. Other rules and regulations, including the city of Yakima subdivision ordinance (YMC Title 14), the city of
Yakima urban area zoning ordinance (YMC Title 15), and the buildings ordinance (YMC Title 11), shall
remain in full force and effect as they apply to a designated critical area. Wherever the requirements of this
chapter conflict with the requirements of the Yakima urban area zoning ordinance, the subdivision ordinance or
any other lawfully adopted municipal rules or regulations, the most restrictive standards shall apply. (Ord.
2008-46 § 1 (part), 2008).
15.27.200 Definitions generally.
Definitions listed in Part Two of this chapter shall be applied to the regulation, review, and administration of all
critical areas, including flood hazard areas, unless the definition itself identifies the term as applying to flood hazard
administration, in which case the definition only applies to that situation.

where not otherwise inconsistent with Part Four of this chapter; except that when the primary purpose of such a
transmission line is to transfer bulk products or energy through a floodway fringe or special flood hazard area, such
transmission line shall conform to the following:
1. Electric transmission lines shall cross floodway fringe and special flood hazard areas by the most direct
route feasible. When support towers must be located within floodway fringe or special flood hazard areas, they
shall be placed to avoid high floodwater velocity and/or depth areas, and shall be adequately floodproofed.
2. Buried utility transmission lines transporting hazardous materials, including but not limited to crude and
refined petroleum products and natural gas, shall be buried a minimum of four feet. Such burial depth shall be
maintained within the floodway fringe or special flood hazard area to the maximum extent of potential channel
migration as determined by hydrologic analyses. All such hydrologic analyses shall conform to requirements of
YMC 15.27.411(CD)(3).
3. Beyond the maximum extent of potential channel migration, utility transmission lines transporting
hazardous and nonhazardous materials shall be buried below existing natural and artificial drainage features.
4. Aboveground utility transmission lines, not including electric transmission lines, shall only be allowed for
the transportation of nonhazardous materials. In such cases, applicants must demonstrate that line placement

will have no appreciable effect upon flood depth, velocity or passage. Such lines shall be adequately protected
from flood damage.
5. Aboveground utility transmission line appurtenant structures, including valves, pumping stations or other
control facilities, shall not be permitted in floodway fringe or special flood hazard areas except where no other
alternative is available, or in the event a floodway fringe or special flood hazard location is environmentally
preferable. This does not apply to domestic water and regional wastewater transmission pipes. In such instances,
aboveground structures shall be located so that no appreciable effect upon flood depth, velocity or passage is
created, and shall be adequately floodproofed. (Ord. 2008-46 § 1 (part), 2008).

registered professional engineer is provided demonstrating through hydrologic and hydraulic analysis performed in
accordance with standard engineering practice that the effect of the subject encroachment together with the
cumulative effects of all similar potential encroachments shall not materially cause water to be diverted from the
established floodway, cause erosion, obstruct the natural flow of water, reduce the carrying capacity of the
floodway, or result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge;
BC. Surface mining; provided, that the applicant can provide clear evidence that such uses will not divert flood
flows causing channel -shift or erosion, accelerate or amplify the flooding of downstream flood hazard areas,
increase the flooding threat to upstream flood hazard areas, or in any other way threaten public or private properties.
When allowed, such removal shall comply with the provisions of this title;
1. Utility transmission lines, unless otherwise prohibited by this chapter; except that when the primary purpose
of such a transmission line is to transfer bulk products or energy through a floodway en route to another destination,
as opposed to serving customers within a floodway, such transmission lines shall conform to the following:
1. All utility transmission lines shall cross floodways by the most direct route feasible, as opposed to
paralleling floodways;
2. Electric transmiccinn lines shall span the floodway with-mnnnrt tnwerc located in flnnd Erin a areas or
beyond. Where floodway areas cannot be spanned due to excessive width, support towers shall be located to
avoid high floodwater velocity and/or depth areas, and shall be adequately floodproofed;
3. Buried utility transmission lines transporting hazardous and nonhazardous materials, including but not
limited to crude and refined petroleum products and natural gas, shall be buried a minimum of four feet below
the maximum established scour of the waterway, as calculated on the basis of hydrologic analyses. Such burial
depth shall be maintained horizontally within the hydraulic floodway to the maximum extent of potential
channel migration as determined by hydrologic analyses. In the event potential channel migration extends
beyond the hydraulic floodway, conditions imposed upon floodway fringe and special flood hazard areas shall
also govern placement. All hydrologic analyses are subject to acceptance by the city of Yakima, which shall
assume the conditions of a one -hundred -year frequency flood as verified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

5. Aboveground utility transmission lines, not including electric transmission lines, shall only be allowed for
the transportation of nonhazardous materials where an existing or new bridge or other structure is available and
capable of supporting the line. When located on existing or new bridges or other structures with elevations
below the one -hundred -year flood level, the transmission line shall be placed on the downstream side and
protected from flood debris. In such instances, site-specific conditions and flood damage potential shall dictate
placement, design and protection throughout the floodway. Applicants must demonstrate that such
aboveground lines will have no appreciable effect upon flood depth, velocity or passage, and shall be

t_13. The minimum buffer widths listed in Tables 27.5-1 mann 27,5 2 are the lowest possible buffer widths allowed
by means of the adjustment process. Adjustments below the minimum buffer width must meet additional approval
criteria as provided in YMC 15.27.317(C)(4).
D. The adequacy of these standard buffer widths presumes the existence of a relatively intact native vegetative
community within the buffer zone that is deemed adequate to protect the identified critical area.
1. If the vegetation is degraded, then revegetation may be considered with any adjustment to the buffer width.
2. Where the use is being intensified, a degraded buffer may be revegetated to maintain the standard width.

Part Seven. Geologically Hazardous Areas
15.27.701 Mapping and designation.
A. Geologically hazardous areas are areas that are susceptible to one or more of the following, based on WAC
365-190-080(4)(b) through (h):
1. Erosion hazards;
2. Landslide hazards, which include:
The Yakima Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2015-047, passed December 8, 2015„
Page 37/69
2017 Development Regulations Update
a. Oversteepened slopes;
b. Alluvial fan/flash flooding;
c. Avalanche; and
d. undercutting;
3. Seismic hazards (referred to below as earthquake hazards); and
4. Volcanic hazards.
C. The approximate location and extent of geologically hazardous areas are shown on the city's critical area map
titled "Geologically Hazardous Areas of the City of Yakima." The following geologically hazardous areas have been
mapped and classified using the criteria found in WAC 365-190-1 20080(4)(b) dir�-magj-i
15.27.702 Geologically hazardous areas protection approach.
The geologically hazardous areas protection approach can be met by following the guidelines below and by
implementing the appropriate sections of the Building Code as adopted in YMC Title 11.
A. Erosion Hazard Areas. Protection measures for erosion hazard areas will be accomplished by implementing the
regulatory standards for erosion and drainage control required under YMC Title 11, building code. YMC Title 11
requirements can be met by the application of the Best Management Practices (BMPs) in the a'b`Iorm4)aler
ft,pyygc'ywnl to) �LL (Wl' 0Eccd%nw publication number 04-10-076, or
�X/ -yoIJ �'astern Washington S
most.o ersion); equivalent manual adopted by the city of Yakima; or any other approved manual deemed
111-11 I'll, __Y, , fl,
appropriate by the administrative official.
D. Stream Undercutting Hazard Areas. Protection measures for stream undercutting hazard areas will be
accomplished by critical areas review for flood hazards, and
15.27.703 Development review procedure for geologically hazardous areas.
B. Developments that receive an affirmative determination of hazard by the administrative official under
subsection A of this section must conduct a geologic hazard report as provided in YMC 15.27.315(C), which may be
part of a geotechnical report required below.
1. If the geologic hazard report determines that no hazard exists or that the project area lies outside the
hazard, then no geologic hazard review is needed.
2. The administrative official is authorized to waive further geologic hazard review for oversteepened slopes
on the basis that the hazards identified by the geologic hazard report will be adequately mitigated through
condifi(,,,)ns a )pit Lo +14e, issuance -(,O a grading or construction permit.
Part Eight. Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas (CARA)
15.27.810 Map,,ijA!1L1_Refercnce 1)10cuments
A. Mapping Methodology. The CARA is depicted in the map titled "Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas of the City
ol'Yakiiiia" located within the city of'Yakima's 2006-20 h7 (,Jr11.)an-Ar&i Comprehensive Plan 202-520v,10,The CARA
map was developed through a geographic information system (GIS) analysis using the methodology outlined in the
"'IcIpi r Re qhq g - he, Of
_r,:��.wbvas Guidance Document lbrt
(Pubfica6oli The approximate location .and
extent of critical aquifer recharge areas are depicted on the above-mentioned map, and are to be used solely as a
guide for the city. The CARA map estimates areas of moderate, high, and extreme susceptibility to contamination,
as well as wellhead protection areas. In characterizing the hydrogeologic susceptibility of these recharge areas with
regard to contamination, the following physical characteristics were utilized:

Appendix E
Periodic Update Checklist for Cities — Updated June 2016
Covers laws through 2016
This checklist is intended to help cities that are fully planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA)
to conduct the "periodic review and update" of comprehensive plans and development regulations
required by RCW 36.70A.130(4). Cities can use the checklist to identify components of their
comprehensive plan and development regulations that may need to be updated to reflect the latest
local conditions or to comply with changes to the GMA since their last update.
This checklist includes components of the comprehensive plan and development regulations that are
specifically required by the GMA. Statutory requirements adopted since 2003 are emphasized in
highlighted text to help identify new components of the GMA that may not have been addressed in
annual updates or other amendments outside of the required periodic update process. Cities within the
Puget Sound Regional Council boundaries may want to use this checklist in tandem with PSRC checklists.
A separate checklist is available for counties.
I low to fill out the Checklist
With the most recent version of your comprehensive plan and development regulations in hand, fill out
each item in the checklist. Select the check box or type in text fields, answering the following questions:
Is this item addressed in your current plan or regulations? If YES, fill in the form with citation(s) to
where in the plan or code the item is addressed. We recommend using citations rather than page
numbers because they stay the same regardless of how the document is printed. If you have questions
about the requirement, follow the hyperlinks to the relevant statutory provision or rules. If you still
have questions, visit the Cornrnerce Web page or the Commerce planner assigned to your region.
Is amendment needed to meet current statute? Check YES to indicate a change to your plan or
regulations will be needed. Check NO to indicate that the GMA requirement has already been met.
Local updates may not be needed if the statute hasn't changed since your previous update, if your
county has kept current with required inventories, or if there haven't been many changes in local
circumstances.
Use the "Notes" column to add additional information to note areas where your county may elect to
work on or amend sections of your plan or development regulations that are not strictly required by the
GMA, or to indicate if the item is not applicable to your jurisdiction.

How to use the completed checklist
Commerce strongly encourages you to use the completed checklist to develop a detailed work plan (see
Appendix 8) for your periodic update. The checklist can be used to inform the contents of a council
resolution that defines what actions will be taken as part of the GMA periodic update.

MEMORANDUM
May 8, 2017
TO: Chairman Clark and Planning Commission Members
FROM: Sara Watkins, Senior Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Optional language for sign code amendments: Trailered Signs
Pursuant to the remand from City Council and its discussion regarding trailered signs,
below please find the options that were originally discussed when the Planning
Commission first addressed trailered signs. The initial recommendation to the Council
was to prohibit trailered signs.
1. Signs that are on trailers or wheeled signs
There are two approaches for regulating signs on trailers or wheeled signs. The first is
to draft a section specific to those signs, while an alternative would be to add these
types of signs to the section on portable signs. Below please find the two options in
ordinance form for your review.
A. Adding a section specifically addressing signs on trailers or wheeled
signs.
15.08.125 Signs on trailers and wheeled signs
Signs that are affixed to trailers or wheels shall comply with the following standards:
A. Zone. Signs that are affixed to trailers or wheels shall only be allowed in non-
residential zones.
B. Licensing. Trailers pulled by vehicles shall be licensed and registered and follow
all regulations of the Washington State Department of Licensing.
C. Design and Materials. Trailer signs or signs on wheels must be designed with
durable materials, and shall not be designed with paper, fabric or canvas. Such
signs shall be designed to withstand wind and shall not be illuminated.
Memorandum to Planning Commission Chair and Members
May 8, 2017
Page 2
D. Size and height. In no event may a trailer sign or sign on wheels exceed its
wheel base or trailer. No trailer sign or sign on wheels may stand more than four
feet tall inclusive of the trailer and measured from the ground, nor may any trailer
sign or sign on wheels exceed three feet in width.
E. Number. For purposes of the number of signs on a property, one trailer sign or
sign on wheels is allowed, in lieu of one portable sign under YMC 15.08.155.
F. Location. Trailer signs and wheeled signs must be located on the business
property, no farther than ten (10) feet from the site's driveway entrance. No
trailer sign or wheeled sign may be located on the City right-of-way, which
includes the sidewalk, without a right-of-way use permit. No trailer sign or
wheeled sign may be located within the clear view triangle.
G. Display hours. Trailer signs and wheeled signs may only be displayed during
business or operating hours. During non -business or non-operating hours the
trailer signs and wheeled signs must be placed inside, or flush with the building.
B. Addition of trailer and wheeled signs to the section on Portable Signs
15.08.155 Portable Signs
Portable sign, including sandwich board, portable pole mounted signs, and signs on
trailers or wheels, shall comply with the following standards:
A. Zone. Portable signs are allowed only in non-residential zones, except that
temporary portable signs are allowed in residential zones subject to the
provisions in Section 15.08.110.
B. Design and Materials. Portable signs must be designed with durable materials,
otherwise they will be regulated as temporary signs under Section 15.08.110.
Portable signs must be designed to withstand wind and include a heavy weighted
base for pole mounted signs, and a heavy weight suspended between the
opposing faces of a sandwich board sign. Signs on trailers or wheels shall
comply with all applicable motor vehicle and Department of Licensing standards.
Portable signs may not be illuminated.
C. Size and Height. Portable signs shall be a maximum of four feet in height and
maximum of three feet in width, inclusive of any trailer or wheels.
D. Number. Not more than one (1) portable sign may be displayed per business,
per tenant space.
E. Location. Portable signs must be located no further than ten (10) feet from the
primary building of the business, or, if there is only one business or tenant space
on the site, it may be located not farther than ten (10) feet from the driveway
entrance. No portable sign may be located on City property. No portable sign
may be located on the City right-of-way, which includes the sidewalk, without a
right-of-way use permit.

F. Display hours. Portable signs, including temporary portable signs, may be
displayed during business or operating hours only.
In both of these cases, the terms "trailered sign" or "wheeled sign" must also be defined
in the definitions section.
"Trailered sign", "sign on trailer" or "wheeled sign" means any sign affixed to a
trailer or having wheels capable of being used to move the sign from location to
location. Trailered sign or sign on trailer does not only include signs that are pulled
behind vehicles, but all signs on wheels and wheeled signs.
C. Prohibiting trailer signs.
The other option would be to prohibit trailer signs with a definition as follows:
"Trailer sign" means a sign used for advertising purposes mounted on a vehicle
normally licensed by the state as a trailer. Signs larger than two square feet in area
attached to or placed on a vehicle or trailer parked on public or private property are
prohibited.
2. Defining trailered signs differently.
Another option would be to change the definition of trailered signs to be more specific
as to what types of trailered signs are being prohibited—for example any signs on
trailers that are left at a property for the purpose of advertisement, whether attached or
detached from the trailering vehicle. This would allow trailered signs if they were in
motion—in other words if a business sought to drive around town with a trailered sign,
that could occur. It just couldn't be left on site as a sign.
3. Limiting the total number of signs per property.
The Planning commission also could address one concern about trailered signs—that it
afforded a business another type of sign to display along with portable, temporary and
others --by limiting the total number of signs per property. For example, the total
number of signs per property could be limited to 4—whatever 4 types of signs the
business chose to have (wall, hanging, portable, temporary, trailered, digital, etc.).
CWHBA April 26, 2017 Critical Areas Ordinance Update Letter:
Staff Responses:
15.27.200 — Priority Habitat and. Priority Species definitions, The language recommended is
broad to the point of being worrisome. Does staff have the expertise to interpret the meaning
and intent of the language in the references? If not, we would prefer not including it and allow
the SEPA process to reveal all that applies to a particular project.
Staff Response: While the definitions are lengthy, they are in conformance with the
WDFWs Priority Habitat and Species List (2008). Our current regulations address
aquatic species but not other species and habitats listed as endangered or threatened
by the State. The Wildlife map in the Natural Systems Element identifies known
locations of these species.
15.27.409 — Permitted Uses. We appreciate the modifications to the initial draft allowing for
some development in the floodway fringe. However, it comes with a price — a "Study" produced
by a qualified professional in accordance with YMC 15.27.314. Studies take additional time and
can be costly. We prefer being held to the federal minimum building code standard.
Staff Response: Previous discussions with our consultant team and the Planning
Commission resulted in the requirement for a study to allow certain uses in the floodway
fringe if it can be determined that the encroachment will not have an adverse impact on
fish and wildlife and/or floodplain functions. The building code standard for development
in floodplains only addresses protections for that particular structure and does not
provide any detail or analysis about the effect of development on the habitat. The BAS
for floodplains emphasize the importance of these areas to support stream corridors.
Staff recommends changing the wording in 15.27.409(E) as follows:
E. Any use permitted in the zoning district in accordance with this title, unless prohibited by
YMC 15.27.410, that is unable to adhere to the standards contained in YMC 15.27.409(A -D)
above may be permitted if a study- ritical Areas Rep r .is prepared by a qualified professional,
in accordance with YMC 15.27.314, that addresses whether the encroachment would have an
adverse impact on fish and wildlife and/or floodplain functions.
15.27.505 — Water Typing B. This section is recommended for change. It is optional and should
be rejected.
Staff Response: These changes are recommended based upon the Interim Water
Typing System in WAC 222-16-031. The change clarifies the definitions of stream types
(1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). If it is desired to retain our existing system, then it is recommended
that definition changes be implemented, as follows:
15.27.505 Streams, lakes and ponds typing systern,.
For purposes of this chapter, the city of Yakima hereby adopts a stream, lake and pond typing
system, for those features designated as critical areas in YMC 15.27,502 as follows:
A. Type 1 streams are those waters, within their ordinary high water mark (OHWM), meeting
the criteria as "shorelines of the state" and "shorelines of statewide significance" under RCW
Chapter 90.58. Waters associated with Type 1 streams as defined in RCW Chapter 90.58 are
not included;
B. Type 2 streams are those eTgWrLrjigl w alrrra ri tl ry g surface water features which require
protection due to the nature of their contributions to the functional properties listed in YMC
15,27,504 and are considered "streams, lakes and/or ponds of local importance," as listed in
Appendix B of this title;
C. Type 3 streams include all perennial non, -salmonid bgarigg_streams within the city of
Yakima not classified as Type 1 or 2. (See YMC 15.27.2100„ "perennial stream");
D. Type 4 streams are all.no0.-.fjs.h-.bear.!9g intermittent streams within the city of Yakima not
classified as Type 1, 2 or 3. (See YMC 15.2 € .2'00, "intermittent stream");
E. Type 5 streams are all ephemeral streams within the city of Yakima not classified as Type
1, 2, 3 or 4. Type 5 streams are not regulated as streams. (See YMC v15 27.200, "ephemeral
stream"); and
F. Lakes and Ponds.
1. Lakes and ponds, not designated as a shoreline, that receive water from the
OHWM of a Type 2, 3, or 4 stream shall have the same surface water type as the
highest stream type from which the lake or pond receives water.
2. Natural lakes and ponds, not designated as a shoreline, that do not receive
water from the OHWM of a Type 1, 2, 3, or 4 stream shall be Type 3 ponds.
3. Lakes or ponds not designated as a shoreline that are connected to a Type 1
stream shall be Type 1 ponds. (Ord. 2016-029 § 1 (Exh. A) (part), 2016: Ord.
2008-46 § 1 (part), 2008).
15.27.514 "vegetative Buffers. The basis for the recommended changes is an unpublished
document. We suggest any update here be based on published BAS.
Staff Response: While the document is not published, it is a document that qualifies as
BAS based upon WAC 365-195-905 Table 1(G) Synthesis as it is a peer reviewed
document that provides methods based upon logical conclusions and reasonable
inferences for habitat(s) in a context similar to Yakima. The proposed modifications to
buffer widths provide opportunities for adjustment based upon existing conditions and
buffer averaging.
15.27.604 — Wetland Buffers: This section is recommended to grow from 2 pages in length to 10
pages. Not required.
Staff Response: The proposed section 15.27.604 Wetland Buffers is about 4.5 pages.
There are numerous tables that provide various buffer widths based upon wetland
category and habitat score. A revised section 15.27.605 Compensatory Mitigation is
about 6.5 pages and includes a substantial amount of information regarding mitigation
types, ratios, and alternatives that provide greater flexibility.
CAR A 15.27.610 Mapping: We support the additional reference maps.
CAI A 15.27.820 Protection Approach- This section is recommended to grow from 1 page in
length to 5 pages. Not required.
Staff Response: The several pages of additional language provide necessary
classification definitions and standards based upon the revised reference maps noted
above. The previous CAO section on CARA protections was based upon BAS from 1997
and was significantly outdated.

The Central Washington Home Builders Association is all about affordable housing. Housing
that is affordable to all wage-earning groups, not just a few. Pointing out the consequences of
governmental regulatory action is one way we hope to keep a damper on unnecessary costs.
In the most recent NAHB study of the cost of regulation, (March 2016), averaged for the entire
country, it was determined that government regulation (federal, state and local) accounted for
24.3% of the total consumer cost in the purchase of a new home. In real dollars, that was $84,671
on top of costs directly related to construction and sales. But because we live in Washington
State, we are saddled with an additional 8.2% in regulatory costs. This brings the total direct cost
of government to over $105,000 for the average homebuyer purchasing a $300,000 home in the
State of Washington. Regulations have consequences - they come with a price!
As you deliberate on the content of this 2017-2022 CAO update, please remember consequences.
If we truly expect to safely house our community as laid out in the Comp Plan Housing Goals
and Policies, we must be cautious with adding more regulation than absolutely necessary. Thank
you for this opportunity to provide comment.
Sincerely,
Joe Walsh
Government Affairs Director
Report: Government regulations add $84,671 to new home
prices
'Washington Free Beacon
Government regulations are responsible for adding $84,671 to the final price of a new single-family home, according to
a report from the National Association of Home Builders.
According to the report, regulations implemented during the lot's development are responsible for 14.6 percent of the total, while 9.7
percent is due to costs that accrue after the builder has purchased a finished lot.
"Regulations come in many forms and can be imposed by different levels of government," explains the report. "At the local level,
jurisdictions may charge permit, hook-up, and impact fees and establish development and construction standards that either directly
increase costs to builders and developers, or cause delays that translate to higher costs."
"The federal government can also impact the price of a home—for example, by requiring permits for stormwater discharge on
construction site, which may lead to delays in -addition to the hard cost of fling for a permit."
'The association applied the percentage increase due to regulation to home prices from Census data and found that regulatory costs
in a home went from $65,224 in April of 2011 to $84,671 in March 2015--a 29.8 percent increase.
Regulatory costs during construction increased the fastest from $22,535 to $33,784 during that same time period—an increase of
50 percent. Regulatory costs during development increased by 19.1 percent.
Remember in Washington State you need to add another 8.2% to the cost:
Example: On a $300,000 home add another $23,000
Making the total direct cost of government over $105,000.

RE: Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040
On behalf of the many members of the CWHBA, I would like to thank
you for this opportunity to comment on this current update to Yakima
Comprehensive Plan 2040. I understand the complexity of this
endeavor and I appreciate the time and energy you have invested in
this process.
First of all, we would like to thank Planning staff for their willingness
to look beyond new development as the sole source of growth. Infill
and re -development haven't received mucli attention in Yakima until
now. We appreciate its inclusion in Plan 2040.
We do have a few thoughts to share on the Growth Management Act
Goals listed in the Introduction section of the Comp Plan on page
INTR-4. For comparison, I've attached a copy of the GMA Planning
Goals directly from the RCW 36.70A.020 to these comments.
In my view, there are some on this list of goals that misconstrue the
meaning and intent of the RCW. The first is the Housing element. To
quote the RCW: (4) "Housing. Encourage the availability of affordable
housing to all economic segments of the population of this state, ..."
The Comp Plan version of this is: "Encourage a variety of housing
types including affordable housing." This reads as if "affordable
housing" were a type of housing intended for a particular economic
segment. It is clearly a misinterpretation of the RCW. It should read
"Encoura e a vgrlety Lafffardab e lioushi y t ) s.
The RCW Goal (6) Property rights. "Private property shall not be
taken for public use ... The property rights of landowners shall be
protected from arbitrary and discriminatory actions." This is a bold
statement calling for a defensive approach to property rights.
However, the stated Comp Plan goal is: "recognize property rights."
That almost sounds like a reluctant admission that Yes, they exist, and
there's not much we can do about it. My recommendation is that the
action word be changed; it should read Protect hi'mmert
Then there is RCW Goal (8) Natural Resource Industries. "Maintain
and enhance natural resource-based industries, ... timber, agriculture,

fisheries." Again, this reads as an aggressive call to action. To my way
of thinking this requires much more jurisdictional creativity than just
a basic Protect approach as indicated in the Comp Plan. The RCW
identifies these natural resource-based "Industries" as productive
enterprises, and calls on the jurisdiction to creatively work toward the
Enhancement of them.
Finally, we would just like to point out there is no RCW planning goal
called "Support parks and recreation." This is a subset of the previous
goal of Open Space. It's like the third goal on the list - "Protect rural
character"; it is also subset of both goal 1 and 2. Pulling them out
separately is somewhat misleading in that they are not stand alone
goals.
The remainder of our comments are suggestions and observations for
the Critical Areas Ordinance (Ch. 15.27).
15.27.200 Definitions generally - Priority habitat and species. The
language recommended is broad to the point of being worrisome.
Does staff have the expertise to interpret the meaning and intent of
the language in the references? If it is not mandatory that this be
included, we would prefer eliminating it.
15.27.409 Permitted Uses. We appreciate the modifications to the
initial draft allowing for some development in the floodway fringe.
However, it comes with a hefty price -a "Study" produced by a
qualified professional in accordance with YMC 15.27.314. Studies take
additional time and can be costly. We prefer being held to the federal
building code standard.

It is optional and should not be included.
15.27.514 Vegetative Buffers. The basis for the recommended
changes is an unpublished document. It is our position that only

The following goals are adopted to guide the development and adoption of comprehensive
plans and development regulations of those counties and cities that are required or choose to
plan under RCW 30.70A.0140. The following goals are not listed in order of priority and shall be
used exclusively for the purpose of guiding the development of comprehensive plans and
development regulations:
(1) Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities
and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner.
(2) Reduce sprawl. Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into
sprawling, low-density development.
(3) Transportation. Encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems that are based
on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city comprehensive plans.
(4) Housing. Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments of
the population of this state, promote a variety of residential densities and housing types, and
encourage preservation of existing housing stock.
(5) Economic development. Encourage economic development throughout the state that is
consistent with adopted comprehensive plans, promote economic opportunity for all citizens of
this state, especially for unemployed and for disadvantaged persons, promote the retention
and expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses, recognize regional
differences impacting economic development opportunities, and encourage growth in areas
experiencing insufficient economic growth, all within the capacities of the state's natural
resources, public services, and public facilities.
(6) Property rights. Private property shall not be taken for public use without just
compensation having been made. The property rights of landowners shall be protected from
arbitrary and discriminatory actions.
(7) Permits. Applications for both state and local government permits should be processed
in a timely and fair manner to ensure predictability.
(8) Natural resource industries. Maintain and enhance natural resource-based industries,
including productive timber, agricultural, and fisheries industries. Encourage the conservation
of productive forestlands and productive agricultural lands, and discourage incompatible uses.

develop parks and recreation facilities.
(10) Environment. Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality of life,
including air and water quality, and the availability of water.
(11) Citizen participation and coordination. Encourage the involvement of citizens in the
planning process and ensure coordination between communities and jurisdictions to reconcile
conflicts.
(12) Public facilities and services. Ensure that those public facilities and services
necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the
development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels
below locally established minimum standards.
(13) Historic preservation. Identify and encourage the preservation of lands, sites, and
structures, that have historical or archaeological significance.

MEMORANDUM
May 8, 2017
TO: Chairman Clark and Planning Commission Members
FROM: Sara Watkins, Senior Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Optional language for sign code amendments: Trailered Signs
Pursuant to the remand from City Council and its discussion regarding trailered signs,
below please find the options that were originally discussed when the Planning
Commission first addressed trailered signs. The initial recommendation to the Council
was to prohibit trailered signs.
1. Signs that are on trailers or wheeled signs
There are two approaches for regulating signs on trailers or wheeled signs. The first is
to draft a section specific to those signs, while an alternative would be to add these
types of signs to the section on portable signs. Below please find the two options in
ordinance form for your review.
A. Adding a section specifically addressing signs on trailers or wheeled
signs.
15.08.125 Signs on trailers and wheeled signs
Signs that are affixed to trailers or wheels shall comply with the following standards:
A. Zone. Signs that are affixed to trailers or wheels shall only be allowed in non-
residential zones.
B. Licensing. Trailers pulled by vehicles shall be licensed and registered and follow
all regulations of the Washington State Department of Licensing.
C. Design and Materials. Trailer signs or signs on wheels must be designed with
durable materials, and shall not be designed with paper, fabric or canvas. Such
signs shall be designed to withstand wind and shall not be illuminated.
Memorandum to Planning Commission Chair and Members
May 8, 2017
Page 2
D. Size and height. In no event may a trailer sign or sign on wheels exceed its
wheel base or trailer. No trailer sign or sign on wheels may stand more than four
feet tall inclusive of the trailer and measured from the ground, nor may any trailer
sign or sign on wheels exceed three feet in width.
E. Number. For purposes of the number of signs on a property, one trailer sign or
sign on wheels is allowed, in lieu of one portable sign under YMC 15.08.155.
F. Location. Trailer signs and wheeled signs must be located on the business
property, no farther than ten (10) feet from the site's driveway entrance. No
trailer sign or wheeled sign may be located on the City right-of-way, which
includes the sidewalk, without a right-of-way use permit. No trailer sign or
wheeled sign may be located within the clear view triangle.
G. Display hours. Trailer signs and wheeled signs may only be displayed during
business or operating hours. During non -business or non-operating hours the
trailer signs and wheeled signs must be placed inside, or flush with the building.
B. Addition of trailer and wheeled sians to the section on Portable Sians.
15.08.155 Portable Signs
Portable sign, including sandwich board, portable pole mounted signs, and signs on
trailers or wheels, shall comply with the following standards:
A. Zone. Portable signs are allowed only in non-residential zones, except that
temporary portable signs are allowed in residential zones subject to the
provisions in Section 15.08.110.
B. Design and Materials. Portable signs must be designed with durable materials,
otherwise they will be regulated as temporary signs under Section 15.08.110.
Portable signs must be designed to withstand wind and include a heavy weighted
base for pole mounted signs, and a heavy weight suspended between the
opposing faces of a sandwich board sign. Signs on trailers or wheels shall
comply with all applicable motor vehicle and Department of Licensing standards.
Portable signs may not be illuminated.
C. Size and Height. Portable signs shall be a maximum of four feet in height and
maximum of three feet in width, inclusive of any trailer or wheels.
D. Number. Not more than one (1) portable sign may be displayed per business,
per tenant space.
E. Location. Portable signs must be located no further than ten (10) feet from the
primary building of the business, or, if there is only one business or tenant space
on the site, it may be located not farther than ten (10) feet from the driveway
entrance. No portable sign may be located on City property. No portable sign
may be located on the City right-of-way, which includes the sidewalk, without a
right-of-way use permit.
Memorandum to Planning Commission Chair and Members
May 8, 2017
Page 3
F. Display hours. Portable signs, including temporary portable signs, may be
displayed during business or operating hours only.
In both of these cases, the terms "trailered sign" or "wheeled sign" must also be defined
in the definitions section.
"Trailered sign", "sign on trailer" or "wheeled sign" means any sign affixed to a
trailer or having wheels capable of being used to move the sign from location to
location. Trailered sign or sign on trailer does not only include signs that are pulled
behind vehicles, but all signs on wheels and wheeled signs.
C. Prohibiting trailer signs.
The other option would be to prohibit trailer signs with a definition as follows:
"Trailer sign" means a sign used for advertising purposes mounted on a vehicle
normally licensed by the state as a trailer. Signs larger than two square feet in area
attached to or placed on a vehicle or trailer parked on public or private property are
prohibited.
2. Defining trailered signs differently.
Another option would be to change the definition of trailered signs to be more specific
as to what types of trailered signs are being prohibited—for example any signs on
trailers that are left at a property for the purpose of advertisement, whether attached or
detached from the trailering vehicle. This would allow trailered signs if they were in
motion—in other words if a business sought to drive around town with a trailered sign,
that could occur. It just couldn't be left on site as a sign.
3. Limiting the total number of signs per property.
The Planning commission also could address one concern about trailered signs—that it
afforded a business another type of sign to display along with portable, temporary and
others --by limiting the total number of signs per property. For example, the total
number of signs per property could be limited to 4—whatever 4 types of signs the
business chose to have (wall, hanging, portable, temporary, trailered, digital, etc.).
