A SEPA Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued on September 22, 2017. No appeals have been filed with the City of Yakima Planning Division. B. Current Zoning and Land Use: 1. The subject property is approximately 0.27 acres in size and is zoned Single Family Residential (R-1). The property contains a single-family home that houses an ambulance service use previously approved under Type 3 Review (CL3#005- 05) 2. Adjacent Properties and Land use Characteristics Direction Zoning Land Use North R-1 Single -Family Home East SCC Westpark Shopping Center South SCC Office (across Summitview) West R-1 Single -Family Home 3. Other Characteristics a) Existing Infrastructure: Streets: The property is currently accessed by Summitview Ave., classified as a Principal Arterial. Water and Sewer: The property is served by City of Yakima water and sewer. C. Statement of Cause - Rezone: Pursuant to YMC Ch. 15.23, the applicant provided the following paraphrased statements explaining their reasons for the proposed Rezone: 1. How is the subject property suitable for uses permitted under the proposed zoning? The subject property is suitable for uses permitted under the proposed zoning because the intent of the rezone is to incorporate this single parcel into an existing small convenience center known as West Park. The subject property is currently held in private ownership of the principles of West Park and it is their intent to add the subject property to the West Park development to increase the size of the development and provide the opportunity to consider some redevelopment opportunities at the west end of the property. The property is also suitable for uses permitted under the proposed zoning because the property is flat, which affords easy development, and fronts on is INDEX 2015 1994 Summitview Avenue (an urban arterial). The property can accommodate all required structural setbacks, height requirements and has access to all necessary public infrastructure, services and facilities. The subject property is currently used to house an ambulance service which has been located on the property since 2005. Anticipated development of the subject property is expected to be small scale business similar to those currently located within the existing development of West Park. What is the status of existing land use? The existing land use of the subject property is a single-family residence which has been converted into a business that houses a 24/7 ambulance service. The business has been operated from the site for approximately 12 years and was approved by the City of Yakima a Class 3 Use. 2. How is the rezone request in compliance with and/or how does the request deviate from the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan? The subject property is designated [Community] Mixed -Use which is intended to promote greater integration of mixed uses that offer greater development choices to the property owners, increase housing options, strengthen commercial retail areas and lively pedestrian -oriented development. Since the subject property abuts an existing small convenience center, and is proposed to be incorporated into that existing center, this rezone request meets the intent of the [Community] Mixed -Use land designation because it offers greater development choices to the property owner, strengthens the existing commercial retail area (West Park) and is located near residential development that provides pedestrian -oriented activities. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that [Community] Mixed -Use development should occur near existing and planned commercial centers and along primary arterial corridors. The subject property fronts on Summitview Avenue and the small convenience center of West Park has access onto Summitview and North 40th Avenue. Incorporating the subject property into the existing West Park development ensures that the intent of the locational criteria of the Comprehensive Plan is met. The rezone request also meets the intent of the Principal Uses and Density of the Comprehensive Plan because the addition of the subject property wo the West Park development will provide for the expansion of the existing small convenience center and ensure that provisions continue to be made for a wide range of retail and general services. 3. Are there adequate public facilities, such as traffic capacity, sewer services, potable water, storm water drainage, schools, fire, and police services, and other public services and infrastructure existing one and around the subject property? Yes, the existing public facilities are capable of supporting the most intensive use of the new zone. The site is currently served by an urban arterial, domestic water, sanitary sewer, electricity, telephone, natural gas, public transit, police and fire protection and any other needed utilities/facilities. No new demand n public facilities is expected, as all necessary infrastructure is located on-site, or within INDEXYakima bftd ummm DOC. 11111� 2015 easy access, to provide the most intensive land use permitted within the requested zoning district. Are the existing public facilities capable of supporting the most intensive use of the new (requested) zone? If not, what mitigating measures are going to be implemented to address any short falls in public services that may exist? Yes, the existing public facilities area capable of supporting the most intensive use of the new zone. The property is served with full urban services and facilities and all indications are that adequate capacity exists for the most intensive uses of the requested zone. If any short fall in the delivery of services exists, it is a requirement of the Growth Management Act that necessary mitigation be undertaken by the developer to correct the deficiency in services and facilities. At this time, without a project, no mitigation of public services or facilities is proposed. 4. How is the proposed zone change compatible with the existing neighboring uses? The proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring uses because the property owner has designed the rezone to be as compatible with surrounding land uses as possible. During the Comprehensive Plan Update, the property owner was asked this same question by the City of Yakima Planning Commission. To that end, the property owner had a conceptual site plan designed to show how the subject property would be incorporated into the West Park development and continue to be compatible with the existing neighborhood. The conceptual site plan is attached to this written narrative and noted as Exhibit A. The conceptual site plan indicates that the most westerly parcel (181322-24489) of the West Park property that abuts the subject property could be redeveloped with the subject property into a single project. That project includes the removal of the existing restaurant building and the construction of two new buildings. The new buildings would meet required setbacks, sitescreening requirements, parking requirements and required height requirements. Currently, the existing restaurant building does not meet setback standards, as it is constructed nearly on the west property line. What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as site screening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc.? No specific mitigation is proposed as part of this non -project rezone, as none is required. However, appropriate mitigation is built into the City Zoning Ordinance through regular site plan approval. Site plan review is required as part of any development plan for the property to ensure compatibility between land uses. Some mitigation that was discussed during the Comprehensive Plan Update regarding this proposal is listed below: Currently, there is a brick wall along the west and north property lines of the West Park development to contain disruptive activities within the West Park development from distracting the residential neighborhood to the west and north. It is the intent of the property owner to keep that brick wall in place, or extend it Yakima ._.:, 14111" 2015INDEX 1994 as necessary to continue to protect those properties from incompatibilities between the land uses. Access to the property is likely to remain the same, therefore no changes in traffic patterns should be expected to and through the surrounding neighborhood. Sitescreening for any new use of the property is proposed to be in compliance with the City Zoning Ordinance. 5. What is the public need for the proposed change? The public need arises from the fact that there is a demonstrated need to expand and/or redevelop existing small convenience centers that now serve an increasing population within the area where they are located. From time to time, properties that abut existing small convenience centers come up for sale, and the owners of the small convenience centers purchase those properties. The intent behind the purchase of abutting properties is to expand and/or redevelop the small convenience center by incorporating the newly purchased property into the existing small convenience center. That is the case in this instance. A public need is met when the existing center expands and updates to continue to meet the demand of the public by providing existing local service/retail provider's the opportunity to expand or update their facilities. The need is further met by expanding and redeveloping at an existing small convenience center which is usually less disruptive than creating an entirely new small convenience center at a different location. This requested change also meets the public need by providing adequate neighborhood services and retail opportunities within an existing commercial area where few vacancies exist. To continue to meet the needs of the public, this request provides additional commercial opportunities at a single location that provides public convenience. D. Yakima Area Comprehensive Plan: The 2040 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map designates this area as Community Mixed Use. E. Applicable Law. Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance: 1. rezone Defined: Pursuant to YMC § 15.23.010, "From time to time, a change in circumstance or condition may warrant a change in the zoning text or map create by this title. The purpose of this chapter is to establish the procedures to amend the zoning text and/or map when the proposed change would be consistent with the goals, policies, and intent of the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan." 2. SCC Zoning District Defined: Per YMC § 15.03.020(H) the SCC zoning district is intended to: a) Provide areas for commercial activities outside the downtown district that meet the community and retail shopping and service needs; and b) Accommodate small convenience centers, generally two to five acres in size, where most of the commercial uses have located in a coordinated manner around a common parking lot and one major commercial driveway approach. Yakima ,C. INDEX ,`4 19941 Small convenience centers service the day-to-day convenience shopping and service needs of the surrounding neighborhood and should be designed to minimize undesirable impacts of the center on the neighborhood it serves. Uses in this district should be retail or personal service establishments dealing directly with the consumer, the primary occupants usually being such uses as a supermarket, fast food restaurants and drug store. IV. FINDINGS A. Rezone Approval Criteria: In accordance with the provisions of the Yakima Municipal Code (YMC) § 15.23.030(D)(1-7), recommendations to approve or deny proposed rezones shall include the following consideration: 1. The testimony at the public hearing: A Notice of Application was mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject properties on August 25, 2017, wherein the public was invited to submit written and/or oral comments at the public hearing on this proposed rezone. Written comments received during the comment period are discussed below: Three public comments were received during the comment period, with one of those comments including 53 signatures from neighboring property owners. The comments cited objection to the proposed rezone on a number of different points including, but not limited to: concerns about encroachment into the neighborhood, additional commercial development on Summitview, Air emissions resulting from demolition, the existing on-site vegetation and animals, drainage, and hours of operation. As noted in the application, this is a non -project rezone with no land use proposal attached. However, it is also noted in the application that the intent is to bring the subject parcel into the overall West Park development to allow for future redevelopment of the complex which, according to the conceptual site plan includes demolishing the existing non -conforming restaurant and redesigning the site with new buildings that meet setback and sitescreening standards. Regarding future compatibility, any new use or redevelopment of the site will require planning and environmental review. 2. The suitability of the property in question for uses permitted under the proposed zoning: The subject property is suitable for uses permitted in the SCC zoning district with proposed future development being incorporated into the existing Westpark center. 3. The recommendation from interested agencies and departments: No agencies or departments have registered any opposition to this rezone. 4. The extent to which the proposed amendments are in compliance with and/or deviate from the goals and policies as adopted in the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan and the intent of this title: Yakima iftAXI NDE The SCC zoning district is an implementing zone of the Comprehensive Plan 2040 designation of Community Mixed Use, and is compatible with the following goals and policies: Goal 2.5: Enhance the character, function, and economic vitality of Yakima's arterial corridors and mixed-use centers. Policy 2.5.1: Allow for a mixture of compatible land uses along corridors and within mixed-use designated areas. This includes the integration of multi -family residential and office uses with retail service and commercial uses. Provide zoning and design standards to maintain compatibility between different uses and zones. 5. The adequacy of public facilities, such as roads, sewer, water and other required public services: Along Summitview Avenue are various utilities which are available to serve the property, including City of Yakima sewer; City of Yakima Water, Cascade natural gas; Pacific Power; Centurylink telephone; Charter cable TV; and City of Yakima garbage collection services. City of Yakima Fire and Police departments also serve this area. This property is served by all public utilities necessary to support future development. In addition, curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements are already installed. 6. The compatibility of the proposed zone change and associated uses with neighboring land uses: The rezone proposal to SCC will allow the subject property to be incorporated into the existing commercial center. Future development will allow redevelopment of the center to remove the existing non -conforming restaurant built on the property line. To further ensure the compatibility of future uses with the neighborhood, in addition to requiring compliance with all standards for lot coverage, building height, sitescreening, setbacks, and parking, the Administrative Official will recommend conditions related to site access, environmental review, lighting, and existing/future uses. 7. The public need for the proposed change: The public need for this proposed change will bring the property in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The future redevelopment of the property into the existing West Park center will provide options to make the center more conforming with the neighborhood. V. CONCLUSIONS 1. The Planning Commission has jurisdiction to issue a recommendation on this application to the City Council. 2. The proposed Rezone is consistent with the goals and policies of the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040. Yakima bteig INDEX 2015 A-1 1994 /'1 3. SEPA review resulted in the issuance of a DNS on September 22, 2017. The appeal period for this determination ended October 6, 2017 — no appeal was filed. 4. No adverse impacts have been identified from granting this approval that cannot be mitigated at the time of future development. 5. Public Notice for this hearing was provided in accordance with zoning ordinance requirements. VI. RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends APPROVAL of this non -project Rezone request from Single -Family Residential (R-1) Small Convenience Center (SCC), subject to the following conditions: 1. When the subject property is incorporated into the West Park center, the access onto Summitview shall be closed. The only access to the subject property will be through the existing access to the West Park center. 2. The future redevelopment plan will require SEPA environmental review, regardless of whether the threshold is exceeded or not. 3. Future redevelopment will require a photometric lighting plan that shows no light spillage onto neighboring residential properties. 4. The existing use of the ambulance service is allowed to remain. There shall be no other commercial use allowed on the subject property in its current configuration. The property can only be developed as part of a future project that incorporates the parcel with the West Park center.

The Assessor's Parcel Number of the subject property is 181322-24445 and the site address is 4201 Summitview Avenue. The intent behind this request is to change the zoning of the subject property and incorporate it with the existing West Park development, which lies to the east. This will make the zoning of the subject property and the West Park property the same, Small Convenience Center. The property owners have been marketing the property but have found little interest, as the property is unable to be developed in a commercial manner due to its current residential zoning status. This minor rezone will alleviate this problem. D �I A *�°���� �'�w;���::`;a DIV. INDEX- #�I� RECEIVED JUL 2 5 2017 CITYYAKIMA PLk".::.',.. � DIV.

(Rezone) A. How is the subject property suitable for uses permitted under the proposed zoning? The subject property is suitable for uses permitted under the proposed zoning because the intent of the rezone is to incorporate this single parcel into an existing a small convenience center known as West Park. The subject property is currently held in the private ownership of the principles of West Park and it is their intent to add the subject property to the West Park development to increase the size of the development and provide the opportunity to consider some redevelopment opportunities at the west end of the property. The property is also suitable for uses permitted under the proposed zoning because the property is flat, which affords easy development, and fronts on Summitview Avenue (an urban arterial). The property can accommodate all required structural setbacks, height requirements and has access to all necessary public infrastructure, services and facilities. The subject property is currently used to house an ambulance service which has been located on the property since 2005. Anticipated development of the subject property is expected to be small scale business similar to those currently located within the existing development of West Park. What is the status of existing land use? The existing land use of the subject property is a single-family residence which has been converted into a business that houses a 24/7 ambulance service. The business has been operated from the site for approximately 12 years and was approved by the City of Yakima as a Class 3 Use. B. How is the rezone request in compliance with and/or how does the request deviate from the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan? The subject property is designated Commercial Mixed -Use which is intended to promote greater integration of mixed uses that offer greater development choices to the property owners, increase housing options, strengthen commercial retail areas and lively pedestrian -oriented development. Since the subject property abuts an existing small convenience center, and is proposed to be incorporated into that existing center, this rezone request meets the intent of the Commercial Mixed -Use land use designation because it offers greater development choices to the property owner, strengthens the existing commercial retail area (West Park) and is located near residential development that provides pedestrian -oriented activities. l"lie Comprehensive Plan Indicates that Commercial Mixed-hJse development should occur near existing and planned commercial centers and along primary arterial corridors IIlie subject ;ECEIVED property fronts on Stuninitview Avenue and the small convenience center of West bark has access onto 'r' Incorporatingsubject property iato the OP .. 2 Ma existing West Park North development ensures that the intent of the rlocatic nalcriteria of the CITY Comprehensive Plan is met. u�YAKIMA The rezone request also meets the intent of the Principal Uses and Density of the Comprehensive Plan because the addition of the subject property to the West Park development will provide for the expansion of the existing small convenience center and ensure that provisions continue to be made for a wide range of retail and general services. C. Are there adequate public facilities, such as traffic capacity, sewer services, potable water, storm water drainage, schools, fire, and police services, and other public services and infrastructure existing on and around the subject property? Yes, the existing public facilities are capable of supporting the most intensive use of the new zone. The site is currently served by an urban arterial, domestic water, sanitary sewer, electricity, telephone, natural gas, public transit, police and fire protection and any other needed utilities/facilities. No new demand on public facilities is expected, as all necessary infrastructure is located on-site, or within easy access, to provide the most intensive land use permitted within the requested zoning district. Are the existing public facilities capable of supporting the most intensive use of the new (requested) zone? If not, what mitigating measures are going to be implemented to address any short falls in public services that may exist? Yes, the existing public facilities are capable of supporting the most intensive use of the new zone. The property is served with full urban services and facilities and all indications are that adequate capacity exists for the most intensive use of the requested zone. If any short fall in the delivery of services or facilities exists, it is a requirement of the Growth Management Act that necessary mitigation be undertaken by the developer to correct the deficiency in services and facilities. At this time, without a project, no mitigation of public services or facilities are proposed. D. How is the proposed zone change compatible with the existing neighboring uses? The proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring uses because the property owner has designed the rezone to be as compatible with surrounding land uses as possible. During the Comprehensive Plan Update, the property owner was asked this same question by the City of Yakima Planning Commission. To that end, the property owner had a conceptual site plan designed to show how the subject property would be incorporated into the West Park development and continue to be compatible with the existing neighborhood. The conceptual site plan is attached to this written narrative and noted as Exhibit A. The conceptual site plan indicates that the most westerly parcel (181322-24489) of the West Park property that abuts the subject property could be redeveloped with the subject property into a single project. That project includes the removal of the existing restaurant building and the construction of two new buildings. The new buildings would meet required structural setbacks, sitescreening requirements, parking requirements and required height requirements. Currently, the existing restaurant building does not meet setback standards, as it is constructed nearly on the west property line. What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as site screening, buffering building design, open space traffic flow alteration, etc.? No specific mitigation is proposed as part of this non -project rezone, as none is required. However, appropriate mitigation is built into the City Zoning Ordinance through regular site plan approval. Site plan review is required as part of any development plan for the property to ensure compatibility between land uses. Some mitigation that was discussed during the Comprehensive Plan Update regarding this proposal is listed below: Currently, there is a brick wall along the west and north property lines of the West Park development to contain disruptive activities within the West Park development from distracting the residential neighborhood to the west and north. It is the intent of the property owner to keep that brick wall in place, or extend it as necessary to continue to protect those properties from incompatibilities between the land uses. Access to the property is likely to remain the same, therefore no changes in traffic patterns should be expected to and through the surrounding neighborhood. Sitescreening for any new use of the property is proposed to be in compliance with the City Zoning Ordinance. E. What is the public need for the proposed change? The public need arises from the fact that there is a demonstrated need to expand and/or redevelop existing small convenience centers that now serve an increasing population within the area where they are located. From time to time, properties that abut existing small convenience centers, come up for sale, and the owners of the small convenience centers purchase those properties. The intent behind the purchase of abutting properties is to expand and/or redevelop the small convenience center by incorporating the newly purchased property into the existing small convenience center. That is the case in this instance. A public need is met when the existing center expands and updates to continue to meet the demand of the public by providing existing local service/retail provider's the opportunity to expand or update their facilities. The need is further met by expanding and redeveloping at an existing small convenience center which is usually less disruptive that creating an entirely new small convenience center at a different location. RECEIVED CITY OF YAKIMA DOC. INDEX This requested change also meets the public need by providing adequate neighborhood services and retail opportunities within an existing commercial area where few vacancies exists. To continue to meet the needs of the public, this request provides additional commercial opportunities at a single location that provides public convenience.

Planning Division City of Yakima 129 N. 2nd Street — 2nd floor oily % �� � Yakima, WA 98901 CQ"y �AKW RE: Proposed re -zone of Property at 4201 Summitview Avenue Dear Sir/Madam: The undersigned residents of the surrounding neighborhood object to the re -zone at 4201 Summitview Avenue for the following reasons: There is no intrinsic need to change the zoning from its present R-1 with a conditional variance, except for the financial aggrandizement of the owner of Westpark Shopping Center. The variance was granted with conditions which allowed the ambulance service currently being operated from the residence to avoid driving through a portion of the neighborhood. However, the original need to move the ambulance services in 2005 forward was also the economic decision of the owner of Westpark to acquire a larger tenant which occupied the ambulance space (Walgreen's Drug Store). Again, economic aggrandizement of the owner of Westpark. The requested re -zone may be simply an expansion of the shopping center itself. There is no special need for there to be an ambulance service in the Westpark Shopping Center or in or near the uplands neighborhood. If the request to re -zone is to expand the ambulance service, we recommend the service be moved to a more suitable location such as 56th and Summitview Avenues, a few blocks away. The current structure at 4201 Summitview Avenue is designed and appears to be a single family residence. Its current use as an ambulance service was conditioned on limiting changes in the structure and maintaining quiet usage in the surrounding neighborhood. To change the zoning to SCC would allow significant development, which could greatly increase noise, traffic, and congestion, especially on Summitview Avenue, which is already congested. Further encroachment into the neighborhood will negatively impact property values in the neighborhood because of increasedtraffic, noise and congestion, especially the homes directly to the north„ east and kitty-corner. Westpark shopping Center has successfully operated for many years within the present confines of the shopping center. There is no reason to change that now. R-1 neighborhood owners are entitled to quiet enjoyment of their property. Additional commercial development on Summitview Avenue will clearly affect the ability of the property owners to physically use their property, especially outdoors. If this re -zone is allowed, how soon will the next re -zone request come? And the next, and so on. This is how neighborhoods are destroyed.

My name is Mike Waits and I have a few comments concerning this issue. I have reviewed the written narrative on line submitted on behalf of Mr. Sentz. There are some minor errors and a couple of oversights made. First, item B.2 Air Emissions: states that while the rezone has no relation to air emissions, it is being sought so that a project can be done (as shown on the site plan). The demolition of the existing building and wall will create poorer air quality, as if we haven't suffered enough of that this summer. To treat this rezone as a stand alone item without acknowledging the intent is to ignore the commercial activities that are creeping into a very nice residential neighborhood. It also is shirking your responsibility to treat your citizens equally. Second, B.4 Plants: states that the property has existing pine trees when there is not a pine tree on the property. It does have a couple of blue spruce and a fir tree. Did they actually come out and look at the property? Minor, I know, but what else is incorrect? Also, item 5. Animals: "song birds" is listed. Yes, there are many types of song birds as well as Chukar and Quail. We also have rats, thanks to the current restaurant. Because of the restaurant we have also had an attempted robbery at midnight, complete with gunshots, police and thieves running through my yard. Several hours later, they had flushed the intruder out of my garden at gunpoint. This episode included an invitation for me to appear in court to press charges. According to what I read, a "Small Convenience Center" would be an even greater target for would-be robbers, so I am not anxious to have one immediately adjacent to my bedroom window. This is not a "minor rezone". It may appear so on the surface but it has huge impacts on my residence. I performed, reviewed and worked with appraisals for over 40 years as Right of Way Manager for Yakima County Public Service, Engineering Division. In my opinion, this rezone will have a negative impact on my property by approximately 20%. I have reached out to Mr. Hordan asking him to let Jay Sentz know I am willing to sell him my property. He can then square up his holdings and have more flexibility on the site plan. At this time I have received no response. Another even more serious issue to consider is the flooding that occasionally occurs. We have lived here over nine years. During that time, there have been at least three major flooding events. At the northeast corner of my property is a city storm drain. When Yakima receives a heavy summer rainfall, this drain does not handle it and it overflows. It backs up into my front yard creating a lake up to a short concrete wall that exists on three sides of my house. This massive amount of water then runs around my home, mostly on the east side of my property up against the existing 8 foot block wall of "Westpark". This is the property line between Mr. Sentz and myself. The river of water continues its journey south under the wooden fence (the north property line of the subject rezone and my south property line) out to Summitview Avenue. The flow can be 12" deep as it runs along side my residence. (We have pictures and neighbors who can verify these flooding events. Also, you can check with your own city workers who have witnessed this). My understanding is that this particular drain has to handle a DOC. C. INDEX large portion of this immediate "L,ands" neighborhood as well as a portio.. Jf Westpark's runoff. The site plan calls for another large block wall to replace the existing wooden fence along the north line of the rezone site. So my question is what happens to all that water when it can no longer escape out to Summitview? During the last event I had to dig spaces under the wooden fence to increase the drain rate. The water still covered my backyard and would have submerged my garden had I not been home to divert the flow. I also am concerned about the hours a convenience center might keep. Currently, most businesses at Westpark are not open after 9:30 PM and we are able to cope. A late night or 24 hour business would have a significant negative impact on our lives. I am seeking answers to these questions as well as equal consideration from You, the Planning Department. Very truly yours, Michael P. Waits Maxe , Lisa From: Larry Cutting <larrydcutting@hotmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2017 6:55 AM To: Ask Planning Subject: Public notice I received RZ#002-17 Dear Department of Community Development, I would like to voice my disapproval for the rezoning of 4201 Summitview Ave, Yakima, WA. I own the property next door at 4203 Summitview Ave. A property I purchased knowing that it was next door to another property zoned residential. In an neighborhood of homes so to speak. In the application the person requesting the change in zoning from residential to SCC Small Convenience Center is doing so because they intend to sell it to the shopping center for more money than it is currently worth because it is zoned residential now and still a single family house. They say that they have been marketing it and have found little interest. I do not see any marketing online or the MLS to suggest any attempt to sell it. Even if they were marketing it as a residential home next to a commercial shopping center they would know it would not be worth as much as one next to another residential home like mine. In my 30 years in real estate both in commercial and residential, I would suggest to any client who wants to market a home next to a commercial shopping center that they list the home 15 to 30% less because most buyers do not want to be next door to a shopping center. Also, if the commercial shopping center does buy it, it would likely be torn down to make room for more retail space. This would be the highest and best use of the land considering the investment they would have to make to acquire it. This would also make my property the one next door to a commercial shopping center, thus making it's value drop by 15 to 30%. Essentially making their problem mine. When they bought the home on 9/23/1998 for $103,000 they knew that it was next to a shopping center and knew the value of it. They probably got a better deal because of it. My home is currently worth $265k - $285k based on comps. Even Zillow.com has the estimated value at $265,078. Imagine if I was next door to a block wall and not a nice house with a yard. At 15% less, it would be worth almost $40k less. The home behind 4201 Summitview would have a similar problem being that it would then be bordered by commercial on 2 sides, not just one. I would suggest that the owner of 4201 Summitview Ave hire a residential real estate agent and market the home for what it is. A home next to a commercial shopping center. I know of some good agents at a real estate company nearby that can help with that. Pricing it correctly as a residential next to a shopping center would get it sold. I don't believe that this zoning change at the expense of their neighbors is very neighborly. It would be at my expense, and at the expense of the neighbor behind them. They knew what they were buying when they bought it and so did I. Please do not approve the change in zoning, it is not necessary to get it sold. Priced right, it would find a buyer who wouldn't mind living in a home next to a commercial shopping center just as they did in 1998.

The subdivision applicant shall be responsible for all filing fees. Any final plat filed for record containing a dedication shall be accompanied by a current title report. A copy of the recorded plat shall be provided to the city prior to the issuance of any building permits. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT: The Final Plat approval process is largely an administrative function. The Preliminary Plat approval that is passed by Council Resolution after a public hearing establishes certain conditions required to be in place or bonded for prior to Final Plat approval. When submitted, Yakima INDE)A uy lad staff reviews the Final Plat and determines consistency with the Preliminary Approval. When all conditions are satisfied, the Final Plat is brought to Council for approval and signature. The recent change to state law (Senate Bill 5674) allows local jurisdictions to allow, by Ordinance, Final Plat consideration and approval "by an established planning commission or agency, or to other such administrative personnel..." The revised state law promotes a more streamlined process for Final Plat approval by allowing staff (Subdivision Administrator) review and approval. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN This proposal is consistent with the following goals and policies of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan: Goal 2.1: Establish a development pattern consistent with the community's vision. Policy 2.1.4: Implement land use designations through a clear regulatory process that ensures transparency, fairness and predictability in the land development process. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW SEPA This project is categorically exempt from review under the State Environmental Policy Act as a procedural action per WAC 197-11-800(19). PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Public Hearing Legal Ad Publication Date Accomplished September 11, 2017 September 11, 2017 CONCLUSIONS 1. The amendment to YMC Title 14 will streamline the Final Plat approval process and promote more efficient development. 2.

October 2, 2017 Yakima Planning Commission RE: Text Amendments to the City of Yakima's Subdivision Ordinance, YMC Chapter 14. On behalf of the many members of the CWHBA, 1 would like to thank YOU for this opportunity to comment on the current YMC Ch. 14 text amendment before you today. ft is a simple process change with a potentially large benefit to the community. This process revision before you today will provide a significant process efficiency in approving Final plats. Specifically, the new law allows local jurisdictions to change the final plat approval process for subdivisions from a legislative approval process to one that is administrative. The change brings final long plat approvals into alignment with the current approval process for short plats (nine or fewer lots) authorized under RCW 58.17. As with short plats, planning departments currently make final decisions on building permits, variances, administrative conditional use permits, shoreline substantial development permits, binding site plans, and boundary line adjustments, among others. Administrative approvals in land use matters are not unprecedented. Before the law changed on July 23, 2017, preliminary plat approvals were made legislatively by authorities in all counties and cities. As you well know, preliminary plat approvals identify all conditions that must be satisfied before any construction can begin. By the time a preliminary plat is approved, all. building and environmental issues have been identified and mitigating conditions estabtished. The final plat approval then just certi Eres that all those conditions of preliminary plat approval have been satisfied. At the final plat approval stage, the process is essentially an administrative one. Approving this option does not change any environmental requirements, nor the public process, nor its ability to appeal. Allowing administrative approval of the final plat process in no way affects any party's appeal rights. Citizens retain all Land Use Petition Act (LUPA) appeal rights under this new law, and preliminary plats may still be appealed to a jurisdiction's legislative authority or hearing examiner. -y OR 00 [n nnanyjurisdictions legislation to approve final plats is often cletayed due to more pressing business before city councils, such as budget adoption or other nnajor legislation that can consume several weeks, As a Phone:(509) 454-4006 Fax:(509) 454-4008 1 www.cwhba.org I social media @cwhba EST. 1955 RECEIVED CWHBA0 CT o 2 2 01 _...........__ _................ CITY" '°i DIV., result, a final approval can be delayed, sometimes For months, even though a project is ready to go and substaritial investments have been made. Delegating final plat approval to planning directors or other designated authorities could save weeks and even months of delay in getting on council agendas For final approval in what is largely a pro forma action. Eliminating this step will also save staff time associated with preparing the final plat package and defending it before council. Allowing administrative approval of final plats will bring greater efficiency to the permit process, which is important for encouraging housing affordability. In land development and homebuilding, time is money, and anything that can reduce unnecessary and unwarranted delays in the permit process helps to lower another cost pressure on housing. This text amendment represents an honest and open opportunity to do something for affordable housing. tf the city is serious about the importance of affordable housing to the health of a community, then we really can't turn our back on this opportunity. The Planning Commission can, and should, do something for affordable housing today. We UnTe the members of the Yakima Planning Commission to support these text amendments before you today.
