The district intent statements define the specific purpose of each district and/or zoning map overlay. They shall reflect the policies of the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan; serve as a guide for determining the appropriate location of uses; help determine appropriate conditions for development; and help the administrative official interpret the standards and provisions. A. Suburban Residential District (SR). The intent of the suburban residential district is to provide a variety of residential lifestyles with densities generally ranging from one unit per five net residential acres to seven units per net residential acre. The higher density is reviewed and considered to be permitted when a public water system and the regional sewer system are available, or if these utilities are not available, community water and sewer systems may be allowed after review by Yakima County health district and the city of Yakima. (See YMC Chapter 15.05, Table 5-1.) This district is further intended to: 1. Limit residential density to one unit per five net residential acres in areas where flooding, airport noise, or other environmental constraints make the land unsuitable for residential use at higher densities. Development at a lower density will be reviewed to allow conversion to higher densities once utilities are available or other limiting issues are mitigated; 2. Maintain surface and groundwater quality along with the avoidance of potential health hazards, by limiting residential density to one unit per five net residential acres, in areas where public services will not be provided, and the dwelling units have individual wells and septic tanks. Development at a lower density will be reviewed to allow conversion to higher densities once utilities are available or other limiting issues are mitigated; 3. Provide the opportunity for suburban residential development, up to three dwelling units per net residential acre, in areas with either public water service or a community sewer system; and 4. Allow residential development to seven dwelling units per net residential acre in areas with both public water service and sewer system This district is characterized by a mixture of land uses and residential densities including small farms, scattered low-density residential development, and clusters of higher -density residential development. The minimum lot size in the district varies according to the suitability of the land for development and the provision of urban level services. See YMC 15.05.030(E). B. Single -Family Residential District (R-1). The single-family residential district is intended to: 1. Establish new residential neighborhoods for detached single-family dwellings free from other uses except those which are compatible with, and serve the residents of, this district, which may include duplexes and zero lot lines if established during the subdivision process; 2. Preserve existing residential neighborhoods for detached single-family dwellings free from other uses to ensure the preservation of the existing residential character, and serve the residents of this district; and 3. Locate moderate -density residential development, up to seven dwelling units per net residential acre, in areas served by public water and sewer system Detached single-family dwellings are the primary use in this district. The district is characterized by up to sixty percent lot coverage; access to individual lots by local access streets; required front, rear and side yard setbacks; and one and two story structures. The density in the district is generally seven dwelling units per net residential acre or less. This zone is intended to afford single-family neighborhoods the highest level of protection from encroachment by potentially incompatible nonresidential land uses or impacts. Nonresidential uses within these zones are not allowed; except for public or quasi -public uses, which will be required to undergo extensive public review and will have all necessary performance or design standards assigned to them as necessary to mitigate potential impacts to adjacent residences. Development exceeding seven dwelling units per net residential acre may be allowed in accordance with Table 4-1. C. Two -Family Residential District (R-2). The purpose of the two-family residential district is to: 1. Establish and preserve residential neighborhoods for detached single-family dwellings, duplexes and other uses compatible with the intent of this district; and 2. Locate residential development with densities up to twelve dwelling units per net residential acre in areas receiving a full range of public services including public water and sewer service, and police and fire protection. The district is characterized by up to sixty percent lot coverage, access via local access streets and collectors, one and two story buildings, some clustering of units, and required front, rear and side yard setbacks. Typical uses in this district are single-family dwellings and duplexes. The density in this district generally ranges from seven to twelve dwelling units per net residential acre. However, development up to eighteen dwelling units per net residential acre may be allowed in accordance with YMC Chapter 15.04, Table 4-1. D. Multifamily Residential District (R-3). The multifamily residential district is intended to: 1. Establish and preserve high-density residential districts by excluding activities not compatible with residential uses; 2. Locate high-density residential development more than twelve dwelling units per net residential acre in areas receiving the full range of urban services; 3. Locate high-density residential development near neighborhood shopping facilities; and 4. Locate high-density residential development so that traffic generated by the development does not pass through lower -density residential areas. The district contains a variety of attached or clustered multifamily dwellings. E. Professional Business District (B-1). The professional business district is intended to: 1. Establish and preserve areas for professional offices; 2. Provide a buffer between commercial clusters and residential neighborhoods; and 3. Locate professional offices in areas presently receiving a full range of urban services. Professional offices and, in some areas, a mix of professional offices and multifamily dwellings are the primary uses in the district. Generally, the professional business district contains smaller lot or parcel sizes. Residential densities are generally greater than twelve dwelling units per net residential acre. Building coverage may be as high as eighty percent of the site. Sitescreening requirements have been established to soften the visual impact of large buildings and parking lots and to minimize potential nuisances from light, noise and glare. Development standards are intended to accommodate a mixture of high-density residential development and office uses. F. Local Business District (B-2). The purpose of the local business district is to: 1. Provide areas for commercial activities that meet the small retail shopping and service needs of the community; and 2. Accommodate small-scale commercial uses that need a higher level of visibility and easy access to major arterials. Uses characteristic of this district include small retail sales and service establishments. G. Historical Business District (HB). The purpose of the historical business district is to recognize existing isolated commercial structures in otherwise residential areas, to allow those structures to be occupied by traditional neighborhood business uses, and to allow these structures to be replaced if destroyed. This district is not intended to allow structural expansion, or expansion of the use onto adjoining lots. It is further intended that this district is not to serve as a small convenience center (SCC). Examples of HB uses are: taverns, small grocery stores, Laundromats, and other businesses serving the immediate residential neighborhood around this district. This zoning district is not intended to be allowed to be further expanded or formed. H. Small Convenience Center District (SCC). The purpose and intent of the small convenience center district is to: 1. Provide areas for commercial activities outside the downtown commercial district that meet community retail shopping and service needs; and 2. Accommodate small commercial 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 approach driveway Small convenience centers serve 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. I. Large Convenience Center (LCC). The purpose and intent of the large convenience center district is to: 1. Provide areas for commercial activities outside the downtown commercial district that meet the retail shopping and service needs of the community; and 2. Accommodate commercial centers, generally five to ten acres in size, where most of the commercial uses are coordinated in a manner around a common parking lot and usually with two major commercial approach driveways. Large convenience centers serve the shopping and service needs of multiple surrounding neighborhoods and should be designed to minimize the impacts. Uses in this district should be larger retail or personal services, the primary occupants usually being such uses as multiple -tenant shopping, restaurants, office complexes, and multi mixed -uses. Airport Support District (AS). The purpose of the airport support district is to accommodate airport and aircraft related activities within the airport property. This district includes the Yakima Air Terminal. A variety of uses are permitted. However, the intensity of development is directly related to airport and/or aircraft related uses. K. General Commercial District (GC). The purpose of the general commercial district is to accommodate wholesale and retail activities with some high-density residential development. This district is primarily located near and along the major arterials as designated in the Yakima urban area comprehensive plan. Like the CBD district, a variety of land uses are permitted. However, the intensity of development is intended to be less than in the CBD district. L. Central Business District (CBD). The purpose of the central business district is to preserve the business district of the city of Yakima as the region's center of commerce, finance, government, industry, recreation, and culture. This district is characterized by very intensive development and a variety of land uses including retail sales and service establishments, high-density residential development, financial institutions, professional buildings, and government offices. M. Regional Development District (RD). The purpose of the regional development district is to provide high visibility from the interstate and state highways of the city of Yakima to provide regional commerce, office campus, recreation, large-scale retail, culture, and large multiple mixed uses. This district is characterized by very intensive development and a variety of land uses including retail sales and service establishments, high- density residential development, financial institutions, professional office buildings, hotels, condominiums, and corporation headquarters. N. Light Industrial District (M-1). The intent of the light industrial district is to: 1. Establish and preserve areas near designated truck routes, freeways, and the railroad for light industrial uses; 2. Direct truck traffic onto designated truck routes and away from residential streets; and 3. Minimize conflicts between uses in the light industrial district and surrounding land uses. The light industrial district provides areas for light manufacturing, processing, research, wholesale trade, storage, and distribution facilities. Uses permitted in this district should not generate noise levels, light, odor, or fumes that would constitute a nuisance or hazard. O. Heavy Industrial District (M-2). The intent of the heavy industrial district is to: 1. Establish and preserve areas near designated truck routes, freeways, and railroads for heavy industrial uses; 2. Direct heavy truck traffic onto designated truck routes and away from residential streets; and 3. Minimize conflicts between heavy industrial uses and surrounding land uses. The heavy industrial district provides areas for manufacturing, assembling, fabrication, processing, and distribution and storage facilities. Uses in this district have the potential to generate high levels of noise, light, odor, fumes, or smoke that require their protection from encroachment by incompatible land uses. 2/26/2018 Chapter 70.114A RCW: TEMPORARY WORKER HOUSING—HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATION Chapter 70.114A RCW TEMPORARY WORKER HOUSING—HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATION Chapter 11.

The legislature finds that there is an inadequate supply of temporary and permanent housing for migrant and seasonal workers in this state. The legislature also finds that unclear, complex regulations related to the development, construction, and permitting of worker housing inhibit the development of this much needed housing. The legislature further finds that as a result, many workers are forced to obtain housing that is unsafe and unsanitary. Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to encourage the development of temporary and permanent housing for workers that is safe and sanitary by: Establishing a clear and concise set of regulations for temporary housing; establishing a streamlined permitting and administrative process that will be locally administered and encourage the development of such housing; and by providing technical assistance to organizations or individuals interested in the development of worker housing.
