It so how? Yes, this proposal addresses circumstances which have changed since the last time the relevant comprehensive plan map was considered, which was 2017. The owner of this property just missed the 2016/2017 comprehensive plan update cut-off to submit an application to the City and has had to wait 2 years to submit this comprehensive plan map amendment. This particular property has some history with it that also changes the circumstances of the future land use. Since the adoption of the original Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan in the mid -1980's, there have been two attempts to change the Future Land Use Map and zoning of this property by Yakima County and the City of Yakima from residential to commercial. The owner of the property was, and still is, an attorney. He was keenly aware of the fact that changing the land use designation and zoning to commercial would render his single-family residence non -conforming. Based on that fact, the property owner resisted the proposed changes in the past. At this point in time, the property owner is ready to vacate the property as a residential property and join the commercial zoning districts that surround this property on all four sides. Hence, this application is being submitted to accomplish that desire and meet the past requests of a comprehensive plan amendment and rezone to commercial as previously proposed by the city and county. This application will remove an "isolated island" of residentially zoned property parcel of property and meld it with the existing commercial zoning located on all sides of it. The above history and change in circumstances listed above warrant the opportunity to update the Future Land Use Map to remove an isolated residential property from an otherwise commercial area and bring it into compliance with comprehensive plan goals and policies. YPC 007 B. Does your proposal better implement applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map or text? if so how? This proposal better implements applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current RECEIVED relevant comprehensive map because the proposal will remove an isolated residential property from the center of a commercially designated and zoned area and makes better APR 3 0 2O i8 use of the surrounding infrastructure that better suits commercial development than residential development. IT III w0. ° IVB. The comprehensive plan amendment request is in compliance with the City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 because the proposed amendment meets the intent of the Community Mixed -Use land use designation at 2.2.3 of the comprehensive plan by allowing `for a mixture of neighborhood scaled retail, commercial service, office, and high density residential uses". The proposal meets the locational criteria of the comprehensive plan because the subject property adjoins existing commercial businesses to the north, northeast and east, is located within a developing commercial center, is located near high-density residential land uses and is at the intersection of two urban arterials. The proposal better implements the applicable plan policies because it meets the following goals and policies: Goal 2.5 — Arterial corridors and other mixed-use centers. Enhance the character, function and economic vitality of Yakima's arterial corridors and mixed-use centers. Polite — 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 and service commercial uses. Provide zoning and design standards to maintain compatibility between different uses and zones. P'oli�. — Utilize strict access management standards to enhance safety and maintain the arterial traffic functions of the corridor. Proponent Comment — This proposal implements the comprehensive plan better than the current designation because it will remove a residential island from the middle of a commercial zoning district and bring the parcel into compliance with surrounding zoning and land uses. The property is located at a major intersection along the West Nob Hill Boulevard corridor that currently has commercial businesses located on three of the four intersection legs and the property is served with all urban services and facilities. Based on this amendment to the comprehensive plan and rezone, the property will be brought more into the exiting land use trend that is occurring in the area and remove an older residential land use which does not fit into its commercial surroundings. For these reasons, this proposal better implements applicable plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map. C. Does lour proposal correct an obvious mapping error? If so how? R 01 CITY OF AI aF Ow No, it does not appear that an obvious mapping error occurred. This is a voluntary request on behalf of the property owner, which complies with the annual comprehensive plan update, recognizes recent land use developments, recognizes land use trends in the immediate area and helps to promote economic development. This proposal does, however, comply with previous requests from the City and County to bring this particular property into a commercial land use designation and zoning district. D. Does your proposal address and identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan? If so what is the del cienc ? This proposal does involve an identified deficiency in the comprehensive plan. The subject property is located at the corner of West Nob Hill Boulevard and South 8'r" Avenue (which is a major intersection in the West Valley area) and served with all urban services and facilities. The deficiency in the plan is that this property should have been designated and zoned commercial many years ago to use the infrastructure that was put in place to accommodate commercial growth at a commercial location. By foregoing this decision, small commercial development has had to locate at other locations because this location was not available. This condition has most likely led to annual site specific comprehensive plan amendments in the past that would not have been needed had this property been available. In essence, by keeping this property out of the commercial inventory, other property has had to be re -designated and zoned to meet the future land use needs of the business community. This condition, in and of itself, is a deficiency in the plan. E. Is the proposed Comprehensive Ilan Amendment coordinated with and take into consideration the comprehensive plans,, adopted by Yakima Coun or cities with which the City of Yakima has in art common borders or related regional issues as m be required by RCW 36.70A.100? If so how? Yes, this proposal is consistent with RCW 36.70A.100. This application is part of annual comprehensive plan update process for the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. The City of Yakima coordinates this update with Yakima County and/or cities with which the City of Yakima has, in part, common borders or related regional issues for consistency between the jurisdictions. YPC 009 F. is the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment consistent with the Growth Mana enient Act GMS RCW Cb. 36.70A, and the Yakima County-wide I VED Maiming Policy CWPP'? if so how? Yes, this proposal is consistent with the Growth Management pct and the Yakima CITY OF YAKIMA Coaanty-wide Planning Policy because the proposal directs urban growth to an existing L�IV tarban area (within City Limits first) and encourages infill in an area where all urban level services and facilities are currently provided or can easily be extended. The proposal reduces sprawl and is served with an adequate transportation system. This proposal also encourages economic development in the urban area and provides jobs and goods and services for the surrounding neighborhood and the general Yakima Area. G. Have the cumulative impacts of all comprehensive plan amendments been considered in the evaluation of the proposed osed amendment? If so how? Yes, all cumulative impacts of all comprehensive plan amendments have been considered in the evaluation of the proposed amendment. This is the first year since the adoption and update of the previous comprehensive plan, so all comprehensive plan amendments starting this year are new to the existing comprehensive plan. Thus, the impacts in this area were taken into consideration when the comprehensive plan was recently updated and renamed "We are Yakima — Comprehensive Plan 2040". This was an exhaustive process that took at least 2 years and considered and evaluated all comprehensive plan amendments into a single document up to that time. These current updates will be evaluated by staff, citizenry and the City Council of Yakima to determine and evaluate the cumulative impacts of the proposed amendment. H. For Future Land Use Map changes, lease provide descriptive information regardhig the properfy,includiaa g the status of existin land use access to sewer and water, as well as the availability of Public facilities such as schools lire and police services. The subject property consists of an older single-family residence constructed in about 1925 on a .g acre parcel. The residence is connected to public water and sewer as well as electricity and telephone. Access is directly to South 48'4' Avenue which is a paved urban arterial that connects with West Nob Hill Boulevard on the north and West Washington Avenue to the south. The property is protected by the Yakima Fire Department and Police Department and served with all necessary urban services and facilities to develop this property into a commercial venture.

How is the subjectproperty suitable for uses permitted under the proposed Zoning? History — Since the adoption of the original Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan in the mid -1980's, there have been two attempts to change the Future Land Use Map and zoning of this property by Yakima County and the City of Yakima from residential to commercial. The owner of the property was, and still is, an attorney. He was keenly aware of the fact that changing the land use designation and zoning to commercial would render his single-family residence non -conforming. Based on that fact, the property owner resisted the proposed changes in the past.

Hence, this application is being submitted to accomplish that desire and meet the past requests of a comprehensive plan amendment and rezone to commercial as previously proposed by the city and county. This application will remove an "isolated island" of residentially zoned property parcel of property and meld it with the existing commercial zoning located on all sides of it. The property is well suited for all commercial uses permitted under the proposed zoning General Commercial zoning district. The property is generally flat except for some steep slopes along the north and east property lines, slightly over one -halt" acre in size (.68 acre) and is located at the southwest corner of South 481h Avenue and West Nob Hill Boulevard. The property has direct access to South 48th Avenue a paved arterial roadway that connects with East Nob Hill Boulevard to the north and West Washington Avenue on the south. The property is currently connected to Nob Hill Water and to sanitary sewer from the City of Yakima. All other urban services and facilities (i.e. parks, police, fire etc.,) are present in the area or are provided by the City of Yakima. The general area is a mixture of vacant land, residential housing (single-family & Multi- family) and commercial uses. Based on the current land use pattern, this site is suitable for uses permitted in the proposed General Commercial zoning district. What is the status of the existing land use? The subject property consists of one parcel that contains a single-family residence, constructed in about 1925. The parcel is .68 acres in size. The property is served with direct access to South 48th Avenue and has easy access to West Nob Hill Boulevard at a signalized intersection. The property has access to two Nob Hill Water mains, a 12 -inch water line is located along the north property line (West Nolo Hill Boulevard) and an fl- inch water main along the east property line (South 48th Avenue). Sanitary sewer is provided by tlic City of Yakima by a 15 -inch line located along the east property line (South 48111 Avenue). The property is served with police and fire protection by the City of Yakima. Thus, the property is well served and well suited for future commercial development. YPC 013 RECEIVED J. How is the rezone request in compliance with and/or how does the reguest APR deviate from the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive ive Plan? 1 " Y OF YAKIMA The rezione request is in compliance with the City of Yakin a Comprehensive Plan 2041"ii �W Mr kW ^�� DIV, because the proposed rezone nicets the intent of the Com;niunity Mixed -Use land use designation at 2.2.3 of the comprehensive plan by allowing `for a mixture of neighborhood scaled retail, commercial service, office, and high density residential uses'. The proposal meets the locational criteria of the comprehensive plan because the subject property adjoins existing commercial businesses to the north, northeast and east, is located within a developing commercial center, is located near high-density residential land uses and is at the intersection of two urban arterials. The proposal better implements the applicable plan policies because it meets the following goals and policies: Goal 2.5 — Arterial corridors and other mixed-use centers. Enhance the character, function and economic vitality of Yakima's arterial corridors and mixed-use centers. ,policy S.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 and service commercial uses. Provide zoning and design standards to maintain compatibility between different uses and zones. Policy 2.5.3 — Utilize strict access management standards to enhance safety and maintain the arterial traffic functions of the corridor. Proponent Comment — This proposal implements the comprehensive plan better than the current designation because it will remove a residential island from the middle of a commercial zoning district and bring the parcel into compliance with surrounding zoning and land uses. The property is located at a major intersection along the West Nob Hill Boulevard corridor that currently has commercial businesses located on three of the four intersection legs and the property is served with all urban services and facilities. Based on this amendment to the comprehensive plan and rezone, the property will be brought more into the exiting land use trend that is occurring in the area and remove an older residential land use which does not fit into its commercial surroundings. For these reason, this proposal better implements applicable plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map. YPC 014 K. Are there adequate public facilities such as traffic capacity, sewer services potable water, stormwater drainage, schools fire and police services and other public services and infrastructure existing on the and around the subject property? RECEIVED The subject property consists of an older single-family residence constructed in about 1925 on a .68 acre parcel. The residence is connected to public water and sewer as well APR 3 0 as electricity and telephone. Access is directly to SoLith 48"' Avcntie which is a paved arterial that connects with West Nob Hill Boulevard to the north and West Washington CITY OF YAKIMA. Avenue on the south. The property is protected by the Yakima lire Departnient and � ��4w....°� n1v Police Department. 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, this property can be served with the existing facilities capable of supporting the most intensive uses, as the site is served by a Nob Hill Water from two directions with domestic water and sanitary sewer by the City of Yakima. If any service or facility deficiency exists in the delivery of services to this property, necessary mitigation will take place by the developer to ensure adequate public services and facilities are in place at his/her/their expense through future SEPA and land use concurrency requirements, upon the development of the property. L. flow is the proposed zone chap ze co. i,n . atible with the existing neighboring uses? The proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring land uses because surrounding properties to the north and east currently contain commercial businesses. These businesses are located north across West Nob Hill Boulevard and east across South 481h Avenue which are natural buffers between existing uses. Some single-family residences lie across South 48th Avenue to the east of the subject property. The exact situation with these residences, they lie across South 48th Avenue, an urban arterial which is a natural buffer between land uses. The subject property is surrounded by a single vacant commercially zoned property that wraps around the property on the west and south sides, so compatibility issues do not exist with this property. Based on these factors, the proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring uses. Compatibility will be maintained through project permitting and additional site specific plan review once an application is submitted. This will ensure compatibility between existing uses and future uses. This is the normal process for a non -project rezone application but ensures that future construction in the area is compatible with neighboring land uses, as projects are proposed. YPC 015 What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as sitescreening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc.? No mitigation is proposed as part of this rezone request. However, appropriate mitigation is built into the SEPA and zoning codes through regular site plan approval once a specific project is proposed. Required mitigation to address compatibility would be implemented at that time. RECEIVED M. What is the public need for the proposed change? APR 3 0 26ig The public need arises from the fact that property zoned for professional business ITT OF, YAKIMA purposes is in high demand. Over the last two years, substantial development has � �� `� �° � Div. occurred along the West Nob Hill Boulevard corridor, particularly in the West Valley Area (Congdon Property). Providing an additional small lot for this purpose in the West Valley area will permit an opportunity for a small business to occur within a mixed use neighborhood. This proposal will add additional lands to commercial inventory which will promote business along the West Nob Hill Boulevard corridor that is located at a major intersection. At this site, the City has provided the necessary infrastructure for this specific type of commercial development (i.e. major arterial roadways, easy access to the transportation network, adequate water (Nob Hill Water Co.) and waste water lines). There is a need to get the highest and best use out of a property and the infrastrcture that serves it. In this case, the property is better utilized for commercial purposes than residential purposes because the infrastructure in place better accommodates commercial uses than residential uses based on comprehensive land use goals and policies. This proposal will also bring some consistency to the Future Land Use Map by removing an isolated residential property from an otherwise commercial area. This property would already be designated and zoned commercial had it not been for the property owner's keen knowledge of zoning rules and regulations and their impact on a residential structure in a commercial zone. This application will correct that inconsistency and complete the commercial zoning block in this neighborhood. Based on the above, there is a public need for the proposed change.

Does our proposal address circumstances that have changed since the last time the relevant comprehensive plan map or text was considered? If so how? Yes, this proposal addresses circumstances which have changed since the last time the relevant comprehensive plan map was considered, which was in 2017. The owner of this property just missed the 2016/2017 comprehensive plan update cut-off date to submit an application to the City and has had to wait 2 years to submit this comprehensive plan map amendment. The subject property abuts a large block of Industrially -designated land, which lies mainly to the east-southeast. Since 2012, approximately 85 acres of industrial land have been added to this block through a series of comprehensive plan amendments. All 85 acres have since been rezoned and construction of fruit processing and storage facilities has been built on over half of the properties. As of the date of this application, additional fruit storage facilities are being constructed in this immediate area. The general trend for this particular area is that the Large Convenience Center (LCC) zoning is steadily being phased out in favor of Light Industrial zoning. One of the major factors is that several fruit processing facilities and storage facilities have been expanding along River, road between `forth 6th Avenue to North 32°a venue. The installation of a dedicated sewer line for industrial waste water by the City that serves several of the processing facilities has led to the introduction of extensive fruit storage warehouses in the immediate area. The relationship between the two is that the number of times the fruit is handled can be reduced by having the storage facilities close to the processing plants. This has created a need for additional industrial lands in this area, as almost all the industrial zoned land is built -out or planned to be built -out. A review of the ownership trend in the immediate area of current industrially zoned land indicates that the property owners are the owners of the fruit processing facilities in the immediate area or along the Highway 12 corridor. In essence, the growth in the fruit industry has been extensive over the last 5-7 years or longer and has resulted in circumstances that are changing on a yearly basis, where additional industrial lands, located near existing facilities, need to be provided to accommodate agricultural needs. Based on the above findings, there have been substantial changes in circumstances which warrant a change in the comprehensive land use of the property to accommodate future industrial growth in this particular area. YPC 042 B. hoes your proposal letter implement a y plicahl.e coin prehensive plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan nia p or text? If so how? This proposal better implements applicable comprehensive plan policies than the cLirren:t relevant comprehensive snap because the proposal will provide additional industrial land. to an area where the inventory of industrial land is dwindling due to rapid industrial development, particularly by the agricultural industry. APR 3 0 2 0 i8 CIT yA The proposal better implements the applicable plan policies because it meets the intent of the Industrial land use designation at 2.2.7 of the comprehensive plan by providing areas `for manufacturing, agricultural processing/storage and closely related uses". The proposal meets the locational criteria of the comprehensive plan because the subject property is located in an area of active industrial use, has direct access to water and sewer facilities, is located at the southeast corner of North 16th Avenue and Highway 12, has direct access to North 16th Avenue and is located east and south of the Highway 12 on- ramp which is a large berm and buffers the residential and commercial properties to the west. The area in which the comprehensive plan amendment is proposed does not meet the purpose statement of the current Regional Commercial designation because land use designations and zoning changes since 2012 have altered the areas intended development pattern. The Regional Commercial designation encourages the promotion of medium to large scale mix of retail, service and business, and tourism/recreational establishments and complementary multi -family land uses. The purpose is also to coordinate infrastructure development and site and building design standards that are critical elements to emphasize quality development that enhances the character, identity and economic vitality of Yakima. Since 2012, 85 acres have been removed from the Regional Development designation in this immediate area and placed in the Industrial land use designation. Those same 85 acres have also been rezoned to Light Industrial. This has left the area of undeveloped land within the Regional Commercial Designation too small to meet its intended purposes of mixed-use land uses like those listed above from occurring and the overall area from having a "regional draw" due to the lack of those land uses. The proposal will be located in an area where the principal uses are trending towards agricultural processing and storage facilities which will help implement the Light Industrial zoning district (M-1) as indicated by the comprehensive plan. The proposal also better implements the comprehensive plan with the following goals and policies: YPC 043 Goal 2.9 — Industrial & Manufacturing Areas. Maintain and promote active use of "IecEiVED industrial lands to promote economic growth. PolJ cy 2.9. i — Develop industrial and manufacturing lands that minimize impacts on surrounding land uses, especially residential lands uses. Utilize landscape buffers (evergreen trees and shrubs) along with open space or other design controls to mitigate noise, glare or other impacts associated with the uses to ensure that their location will not adversely affect the residential areas. policy 2.9.2 — Encourage infill and promote efficient utilization of vacant land within areas that area designated for industrial uses. Policy 2.9." — Protect industrial and manufacturing lands from encroachment by other land uses, which would reduce the economic viability of industrial lands. Proponent Comment — This proposal implements the comprehensive plan better than the current designation because of the subject property location and surrounding industrial development. The property has direct access to North l �h Avenue/l lighway 12, is located adjacent to other industrial lands on the east, is located in an area where agricultural interest are expanding on a yearly basis, has access to water and sewer, is buffered from commercial/residential land uses to the west by the Highway 12 on-ramp and abuts Highway 12 on the north. Surrounding development to the east and southeast consists of fruit processing and storage facilities. This site contains two older homes with a substantial amount of vacant property which would qualify this proposal as an infill project as all necessary urban infrastructures are available to the property. Adding this property to the existing block of industrial land also protects the existing industrial uses by adding distance to surrounding properties in adjoining nonindustrial zoning districts. For these reason, this proposal better implements applicable plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map. C. Does your proposal correct an obvious ma in error? If so how? No, it does not appear that an obvious mapping error occurred. This is a voluntary request on behalf of the property owner, which complies with the annual comprehensive plan update, recognizes recent land use developments, recognizes land use trends in the immediate area and helps to promote economic development. YPC 044 D. Does orrr- proosal address and irlc.rrtilricd deficiency in the ComprehensiveRECEiVED Plan? If so what is the deficiency? This proposal does involve an identified deficiency in the comprehensive plan. 'I"he C11 -Y, " I deficiency deals with the fact that there is a need for areas of cxpansiort for established f, e, and future industrial land uses, particularly for the fruit industry. Specifically, inany � ��* existing industrial areas are located in clusters that do not permit expansion beyond their current borders because the cluster is fully developed with no room to expand. It is therefore, necessary to expand into other zones provided it is in conjunction with established land uses already within the area. Currently, the City of Yakima has no industrial designated property in this general area which permits the expansion of existing uses within this block of industrial zoned land. There is some vacant land in the area but it is either controlled by others in the agricultural industry (with the intention to develop) or too small of a parcel to develop any meaningful industrial facilities. The subject property will provide an additional 6.74 acres of industrial property to the agricultural industry in an area where the current trend has been for agricultural purposes. Providing industrial lands for agricultural purposes meets the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan and this request fulfills a deficiency by providing additional lands for future industrial growth that can be accommodated with adequate and appropriate infrastructure. E. Is the aro used Corn p rehensive flan Amendment coordinated with and take into consideration the comprehensive plans adopted by Yakima Coun or cities with which the City of Yakima has in art common borders or related regional issues as my be re uired by RCW 36.70A.100? If so how? Yes, this proposal is consistent with RCW 36.70A.100. This application is part of annual comprehensive plan update process for the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan, The City of Yakima coordinates this update with Yakima County and/or cities with which the City of Yakima has, in part, common borders or related regional issues for consistency between the jurisdictions. F. Is the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment consistent with the Growth Management, Act f GMA R(.W Ch. 36..70A and the Yakima County -wide Plannin Polic CWPP ? If so how? Yes, this proposal is consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Yakima County -wide Planning Policy because the proposal directs urban growth to an existing urban area (within City Limits first) and encourages infill in an area where all urban level services and facilities are currently provided or can easily be extended. The proposal reduces sprawl and is served with an adequate transportation system. This proposal also encourages economic development in the urban area and provides jobs and goods and services for the surrounding neighborhood and the general Yakima Area. YPC 045 FlECEWED �� a G. Have the cumulative impacts of all comprehensive plan amendments been CITY " considered in the evaluation of the proposed amendinent? If so how? Yes, all cumulative impacts of all comprehensive plan amendments have been considered in the evaluation of the proposed amendment. This is the first year since the adoption and update of the previous comprehensive plan, so all comprehensive plan amendments starting this year are new to the existing comprehensive plan. This particular area has seen a number of comprehensive plan amendments since 2012. Prior to the submittal of this application, approximately 85 acres of property have been re -designated for industrial use in this immediate area. The cumulative impacts in this area were taken into consideration when the comprehensive plan was recently updated and renamed "We are Yakima — Comprehensive Plan 2040". This was an exhaustive process that took at least 2 years and considered and evaluated all comprehensive plan amendments into a single document up to that time. These current updates will be evaluated by staff, citizenry and the City Council of Yakima to determine and evaluate the cumulative impacts of the proposed amendment. Additionally, the City of Yakima will notify all other affected agencies about this comprehensive plan amendment to ensure it is evaluated by others for cumulative impacts. H. For Future Land Use Map changes, lease provide descri five information regarding the : ro er including the status of existing.land use access to sewer and water, as well as the availability of public facilities such as schools lire and Police services. The subject property consists of 3 parcels, two of which contain single-family residences and the third which is vacant. All three properties are served with direct access to North 16th Avenue by two existing road approaches and have easy access into Yakima or onto the interstate highway system. A 12 -inch water line and 8 -inch sewer line are located on, or abuts, each property along the east property lines. The property is served with police and fire protection by the City of Yakima. Thus, the property is well served and well suited for any intended industrial development.

How is the subiect proper suitable for uses permitted under the proposed omni The property is well suited for all Light Industrial uses permitted under the proposed zoning M-1 zoning district. Once outside the freeway right-of-way, the land is flat and is currently served with all necessary infrastrMucture, transportation facilities and public services. The property has direct access to forth 16th Avenue at two locations on the west and is currently served with both water and sewer on the east side of the property. Access to the state and federal highway system is located at the north end of forth 16th Avenue, which is directly northwest of the site and easily accessible. The general area currently has industrial uses located within the neighborhood or planned for the neighborhood. In this instance, the adjoining property located to the east and south is currently under the same ownership and is a subsidiary of Washington Fruit and Cold Storage. These properties are currently being developed with fruit processing and fruit storage facilities. It is likely that this property will eventually be developed in that same manner. Since 2012, a total of 85 acres of property in this immediate area has been re -designated from Regional Commercial and designated Industrial. All 85 acres has also been rezoned from Large Convenience Center to Light Industrial. It is reasonable to expect this property to accommodate light industrial uses, as this has been the trend in the area since at least 2012 when the trend from commercial to industrial started. What is the status of the existing land use? The subject property consists of 3 parcels, two of which contain single-family residences and the third which is vacant. All three properties are served with direct access to forth 16th Avenue at two locations and have easy access into Yakima or onto the interstate highway system. A 12 -inch water line and 8 -inch sewer line are located on, or abuts, each property. The property is served with police and fire protection by the City of Yakima. Thus, the property is well served and well suited for any intended industrial development. J. How is the rezone re uest in compliance with and/or how does the reguest deviate from the Yakima Urban Amu Comprehensive Plan? The rezone request is in compliance with the City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 because the proposed rezone meets the intent of the Industrial land use designation at 2.2.7 of the comprehensive plan by providing areas `for manufacturing, agricultural processing/storage and closely related uses". YPC 049 The proposal meets the locational criteria ofthe comprehensive plan because the subject RECEJ O property is located in an area of active industrial use, has direct access to water and sewer facilities, is located at the hsoutheast corner of North 16""' avenue and I-lighway 12, has AFAR 2, E8 direct access to North 16 Avenue and is located east and south of the Highway 12 on- ramp which is a large berm and buffers the residential and commercial properties to the YAKIMA west. , VIV, The area in which the comprehensive plan amendment is proposed does not meet the purpose statement of the current Regional Commercial designation because land use designations and zoning changes since 2012 have altered the areas intended development pattern. The Regional Commercial designation encourages the promotion of medium to large scale mix of retail, service and business, and tourism/recreational establishments and complementary multi -family land uses. The purpose is also to coordinate infrastructure development and site and building design standards that are critical elements to emphasize quality development that enhances the character, identity and economic vitality of Yakima. Since 2012, 85 acres have been removed from the Regional Development designation in this immediate area and placed in the Industrial land use designation. Those same 85 acres have also been rezoned to Light Industrial. This has left the area of undeveloped land within the Regional Commercial Designation too small to meet its intended purposes of mixed-use land uses like those listed above from occurring and the overall area from having a "regional draw" due to the lack of those land uses. The proposal will be located in an area where the principal uses are trending towards agricultural processing and storage facilities which will help implement the Light Industrial zoning district (M-1) as indicated by the comprehensive plan. The proposal also better implements the comprehensive plan with the following goals and policies: Goal 2.9 — Industrial & Manufacturing Areas. Maintain and promote active use of industrial lands to promote economic growth. Policy 2 9 1 — Develop industrial and manufacturing lands that minimize impacts on surrounding land uses, especially residential lands uses. Utilize landscape buffers (evergreen trees and shrubs) along with open space or other design controls to mitigate noise, glare or other impacts associated with the uses to ensure that their location will not adversely affect the residential areas. Epl icy 2.x 2 — Encourage infill and promote efficient utilization of vacant land within areas that area designated for industrial uses. Poli — Protect industrial and manufacturing lands from encroachment by other land uses, which would reduce the economic viability of industrial lands. YPC 050 Proponent Comment — This proposal implements the comprehensive plan better than E, the current designation because of the subject property location and srrrroa;inding industrial development. The property has direct access to Nortla 16th Avenue/Highway APR Nd� 12, is located adjacent to other industrial lands on the east, is located in an area where Ci" W IM agricultural interest are expanding on a yearly basis, has access to water and sewer, is �«xSu¢x`w V� buffered from commercial/residential land uses to the west by the Highway 12 on-ramp and abuts Highway 12 on the north. Surrounding development to the east and southeast consists of fruit processing and storage facilities. This site contains two older homes with a substantial amount of vacant property which would qualify this proposal as an infill project as all necessary urban infrastructures are available to the property. Adding this property to the existing block of industrial land also protects the existing industrial uses by adding distance to surrounding properties in adjoining nonindustrial zoning districts. For these reason, this proposal better implements applicable plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map. K. Are there adeclunte public facilities such as traffic caa Kaci sewer services potable water, stormwater drains a schools fire and police services and other public services and infrastructure existing on the and around the subject ro er ? Yes, there are adequate public facilities to serve this proposal. All three properties are served with direct access to North 16th Avenue by two road approaches and have easy access into Yakima or onto the interstate highway system. A 12 -inch water line and fl- inch sewer line are located on, or abuts, each property. The property is served with police and fire protection by the City of Yakima. Thus, the property is well served and well suited for any intended industrial development. 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, this property can be served with the existing facilities capable of supporting the most intensive land uses, as the site is served by an 8 -inch sanitary sewer main and 12 - inch water main. If any service or facility deficiency exists in the delivery of services to this property, necessary mitigation will take place by the developer to ensure adequate public services and facilities are in place at his/her/their expense through future SEPA and land use concurrency requirements, upon the development of the property. YPC 051 L. blow is the proposed zone change compatible with the existin g nei hborin uses? APR 3 p 20 iII The proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring land uses because CITY OFYAKIMA surrounding properties that lie to the east and southeast are currently zoned Light Industrial and consist of vacant industrial land, fruit processing and fruit storage facilities. Property directly to the south is a butcher shop on a 2.5 acre parcel that is somewhat centered along the south property line. The butcher shop is enclosed with a 6-foot high view obscuring fence and some fruit trees are also planted within the fenced boundary of the property, which promote compatibility between the uses. Also to the south is a movie theatre and its extremely large parking lot. The design of the movie theatre has been constructed with the "front" of the building being located on the south side of the building and the "back" of the movie theatre being located on the north side of the building. The movie theatre is also constructed near its north property line. This design mitigates any adverse impact to the theatre because the high impact areas of the movie theatre occur on the opposite side of the building than the property being rezoned. Thus, any impact between the two uses is negligible. Since the butcher shop and the movie theatre are the two closest neighboring land uses, it should also be pointed out that access to the subject property is directly from North 16th Avenue:, which paeans that no traffic impacts will result to those two uses. Thus, any industrial use of the property should be compatible as the subject property has direct access to North 16th Avenue without affecting any existing land uses. Property to the north is Highway 12, the Yakima Greenway and the Naches River. No land uses exist in this area that will be affected by industrial uses locating on the subject property. Property to the west is North 16th Avenue and beyond that is a mixed-use development of professional office buildings and multi-fa nily residential land uses. The subject property is located on the east side of the on-ramp to Highway 12, which has been built-up a substantial height for the North 16tH Avenue/Highway 12 overpass. The overpass is a natural buffer that provides protection between the uses due to its massive height and ensures compatibility between uses to the west and any industrial land use proposed for the property. Based on these factors, the proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring uses. Compatibility can also be maintained through project permitting and additional site specific plan review. This will ensure compatibility between existing uses and future development. This is the normal process for a non -project rezone application but ensures that future construction in the area is compatible with neighboring land uses, as projects are proposed. What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as sitescreening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc.? No mitigation is proposed as part of this rezone request. However, appropriate mitigation is built into the SEPA and zoning codes through regular site plan approval once a specific project is proposed. Required mitigation to address compatibility would be implemented at that time. 2M CITY OF YAKIMA M.'What is the ��ublic need for the Iwo osed than e? � A -... —, Div. The public need arises from the fact that expansion within some existing zoning districts does not exist. This occurs when all or most of the available land in a particular "zoning block" is developed or not available for sale. Thus, existing businesses and industries have nowhere to expand. This is the case in this general area, as all other industrially zoned land in this neighborhood is under the control of two large agricultural producers (Washington Fruit & Super Cold). Those producers are currently under construction with expansion of existing fruit processing and storage facilities. Providing this additional light industrial land will ensure that adequate industrial land exists in this area to accommodate future needs. Most importantlty, this proposed change keeps the industi ial users in an industrial corridor (along North 16 �' „venuie and River Road) where the City has provided the necessary infrastructure for this specific type of development (i.e. major arterial roadways, easy access to state highways, adequate water and waste water lines). The public expects successful businesses to expand and remain in Yakima without having to relocate. This rezone meets that public need and perspective, while using the infrastructure provided for industry to locate at this location and providing jobs for citizens of the Yakima Valley.

Does your Proposal address circumstances that have changed since the last time the relevant comprehensive plan map or text was considered? If so how? History — This comprehensive plan amendment is being requested to replace a previously approved comprehensive plan amendment. In April 2012, West Valley Nursing Homes, Inc., applied to have the subject property land use designation changed from Low-density Residential to Multi -family Residential and rezoned from Single-family Residential to Multi -family Residential to establish a future senior living facility at the site. In September 2012, the Yakima City Council approved the land use request subject to a Development Agreement (AF# 7797685 see attached) that limited development on the property to the intended use of a senior living facility. It should however, be noted that the current Future Land Use Map has the property designated Low-density Residential. Since that time, West Valley Nursing Homes, Inc. has reevaluated their desire to locate a senior living facility at this site and has determined that it will not proceed with the future project. However, since the time of approval, the Official City of Yakima Zoning Map has been changed to indicate that the property is zoned Multi -family Residential (R-3) in accordance with the Development Agreement. This has generated a number of different parties inquiring about the property its development status. Unfortunately, West Valley Nursing Homes, Inc. has had to inform perspective purchasers that the property cannot be used for all multi -family residential development but is limited to a senior living facility only. Based on the number of requests to purchase the property since 2012 because the Official City of Yakima Zoning Map shows the property zoned Multi -family Residential, West Valley Nursing Homes, Inc. now desires to have the Development Agreement vacated and make application to have the comprehensive plan land use designation be Mixed Residential and rezone the property to Multi -family Residential (R-3). Yes, this proposal addresses circumstances which have changed since the last time the relevant comprehensive plan map was considered, which was 2017. The owner of this property just missed the 2016/2017 comprehensive plan update cut-off to submit an application to the City and has had to wait 2 years to submit this comprehensive plan map amendment. Changed circumstances have occurred, or were occurring, during the 2016/2017 Comprehensive Plan Update regarding high-density land use designations. The changes are described in "D" below and indicate that the deficiencies in the comprehensive plan have caused a change in circumstances. To understand these changed circumstances, it is necessary to review the current high density multi -family options which are described in «D", YPC 079 RECEIVED B. Does your proposal better implement applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant coin rehensive plan map or text. if so how? Yes, this proposal better implements applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map because the proposal will provide additional property that is designated Mixed Residential without the encroaching into other zoning districts to provide multi -family residential opportunities. This proposal better implements applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive map because the proposal will provide additional multi -family residential land to an area (West Valley) where the inventory of commercial land is insufficient to accommodate the demand. The proposal better implements the applicable plan policies because it meets the purpose of the Mixed Residential land use designation at 2.2.2 of the comprehensive plan by providing: wrhe proposal meets the locational criteria of the comprehensive plan because the subject propertj is located within established low density residential communities and in other parts of the City that are inappropriate for more intensive urban development due to the topography or other land suitability challenges and/or the desire to create lower intensiy, transitional areas between the City and the surroundin uninc.or orated rural pasture foothills and agricultural laud". The proposal better implements the applicable plan policies because it meets the following goals and policies (as applicable): Goal 2.3 — Residential Uses. Preserve and enhance the quality, character and function of Yakima's residential neighborhoods. Policy 2.3 , I — Provide for a wide variety of housing types within the city to meet the full range of housing needs for Yakima's evolving population. B. Standard single-family. Continue to allow for detached single family dwellings in residential districts. C. Small lot single family. Allow for small lot single family development (lots smaller than 6,000 square feet) in special circumstances, including: -- On infill sites in the R-2 and R-3 district provided they comply with traditional neighborhood concepts. Consider reducing the lot size minimum for small lot single family in the R-2 district to 5,OOOsf and 4,OOOsf in the R-3 district. E. Duplexes. Continue to allow duplexes in appropriate residential zones, provided density standards are met. YPC 080 H. Walk up apartments and stacked flats. Encourage these housing types in the R-2 RECEiVED and R-3 zones and commercial/mixed zones. L .2.3.2 — Preserve and enhance established residential neighborhoods. Specifically (as applicable): A. Ensure that new development is compatible in scale, style, density and aesthetic quality to an established neighborhood. E. Carefully review proposed land use designation changes to more intensive residential designations, mixed-use or industrial. Specifically: -- Proposals should conform to locational criteria set forth for the desired designation in the applicable policies under Goal 2.2. -- Is the site physically suited for the proposed designation? -- Is the desired zone one of the implementing zones of the land use designation (per applicable policies under Goal 2.2)? -- Avoid spot zones or similar changes that may create instability with the surrounding neighborhood. Proponent : Comment — This proposal implements the comprehensive plan better than the current designation because it will provide an opportunity for a variety of housing types to occur. Just because a property is designated and zoned for multi -family residential purposes doesn't mean that apartments will be constructed. The R-3 zoning district permits single-family, duplex and multi -family development or a combination of all three residential uses. The property adjoins Apple Tree Resort on the north and west and will create a transitional area between the resort and other land uses to the east and south. The site can accommodate multi -family residential development and is physically suited for the proposed designation. Multi -family Residential Zoning R-3, would implement the Mixed Residential land use designation as required by the comprehensive plan. This would not be a spot zone, as the property abuts commercial zoning to the west at Apple Tree, local business B-2 zoning. Multi -family zoning (R-3) is a typical transitional zoning district between commercial and residential land use designations and zoning districts. For these reasons, this proposal better implements applicable plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map. C. Does your proposal correct an obvious mapping error? If so how? No, it does not appear that an obvious mapping error occurred. This is a voluntary request on behalf of the property owner, which complies with the annual comprehensive plan update, recognizes recent land use developments, recognizes land use trends, promotes economic development and provides an opportunity for a variety of housing types to occur. APR 3 0� 2j)j8 CITY OF YAKIMA CITY OF YAKIMA DIS II. Does your proposal address and identified deficiency in the Coin prchensive Plan? If so what is the deficiency! This proposal does involve an identified deficiency in the comprehensive plan. The West Valley Area (including the Yakima Urban Area under county jurisdiction in this area) currently has a total of about 17 parcels of property that are designated High-density Residential that total about 256 acres. Of those 256 acres, approximately 230 acres are currently zoned Multi -family Residential and 27 are designated High-density but not zoned multi -family residential. Of those 230 acres zoned multi -family residential, approximately 167 acres are owned by Congdon Orchards or its subsidiaries. The balance of about 63 acres is owned by Summit Crest, Westwood West Golf Course, Apple Tree Resort and three other property owners. The review further indicates that the Summit Crest's properties (27 acres designated but not zoned and 30 acres designated and zoned) have difficulty gaining access to public water and sewer services due to their far distance from the utilities and/or problems with topography do not permit sewer service extensions at this time. The majority of the property is owned by Congdon Orchards (167 acres) and is either planted in orchard or hops, both long-term crops that are not likely to be removed anytime soon as both the orchards and hops are new plantings. The next largest land owner with multi -family zoned property is Westwood West Golf Course (15 acres) which is waiting out an Open Space commitment prior to developing any of their multi -family zoned property. Thus, a balance of 18 acres zoned for multi -family which can be readily served with infrastructure and ready for development is a deficiency in the plan, as this is not enough to accommodate the West Valley Area until 2040. A deficiency in the plan also exists because too much multi -family development property is owned by too few property owners. These property owners have designated the property for other long-term land uses, mainly agriculture or recreation. This deficiency has consequences. In this case, the consequences have been the removal of approximately 25 acres of property from the General Commercial zoning district to accommodate the Lodges at West Valley multi -family development and construct 438 apartment units. Converting commercial property to multi -family use just reduces the amount of available commercial property in the future. So, the current high-density residential deficiency may affect other zoning districts which permit multi -family development through Class 2 or Class 3 Review and reduces the amount of land in other zoning districts. Under the scenario above, it is necessary to wait for property to become available for development or no development occurs. This exacerbates the deficiency and causes the change in circumstances described in "A" above. Based on the above facts, there is a deficiency in the current comprehensive plan. CITY OF YAKIMA l . E. Is the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment coordinated with and take into consideration the conn r-chensive plans adopted by Yakima County or cities with which the City of Yakima has in cart common borders or related regional issues as my be re uired b RCW 36.70A.100? If so how? Yes, this proposal is consistent with RCW 36.70A.100. This application is part of annual comprehensive plan update process for the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. The City of Yakima coordinates this update with Yakima County and/or cities with which the City of Yakima has, in part, common borders or related regional issues for consistency between the jurisdictions. F. Is the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA), RCW Ch. 36.70A and the Yakima County -wide Planning Polic CWPP ? If so how? Yes, this proposal is consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Yakima County -wide Planning Policy because the proposal directs urban growth to an existing urban area (within City Limits first) and encourages infill in an area where all urban level services and facilities are currently provided or can easily be extended. The proposal reduces sprawl and is served with an adequate transportation system. Yes, this proposal is consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Yakima County -wide Planning Policy because the proposal directs urban growth to an existing urban area (within City Limits first) and encourages infill in an area where all urban level services and facilities are currently provided or can easily be extended. The proposal reduces sprawl and is served with an adequate transportation system. This proposal also encourages economic development in the urban area and provides jobs and goods and services for the surrounding neighborhood and the general Yakima Area. G. Have the cumulative impacts of all comprehensive clan amendments been considered in the evaluation of the proposed amendment? If so how? Yes, all cumulative impacts of all comprehensive plan amendments have been considered in the evaluation of the proposed amendment. This is the first year since the adoption and update of the previous comprehensive plan, so all comprehensive plan amendments starting this year are new to the existing comprehensive plan. This particular area has seen a substantial amount of re -development with older businesses being removed by economic forces and new businesses replacing them. Thus, the impacts in this area were taken into consideration when the comprehensive plan was recently updated and renamed "We are Yakima — Comprehensive Plan 2040". This was an exhaustive process that took YPC 083 at least 2 years and considered and evaluated all comprehensive plan amendments into a RECOVED single docLiment r:rp to that time. These current updates will be evaluated by st rl" citizenry and the City Council of Yakima to determine and evaluate the cumulative impacts of the proposed amendment.

The property is relatively flat in the northern area and gently slopes to the south. The property is served with domestic water and sanitary sewer along its west property line and can easily be extended to and through the property. The property fronts Occidental Road, an urban arterial along the north property line and South 85th & 86"' Avenaaes along to the west. The property also lies near and adjacent to Apple Tree Resort, which is a mixed use residential development and golf course. This proposal would be compatible with that concept. The above circumstances make the property suitable for the permitted land uses of the multi -family zoning district. What is the status of the existing land use? The subject property consists of five parcels totaling approximately 21 acres. The site contains 4 single-family residences, pasture, miscellaneous agricultural outbuildings and a small orchard.

Are there adequate public facilities such as traffic capaciy, sewer services potable water, stor rwater drainage, schools fire and police services and other public services and infrastructure existing on the and around the sub 'ect property? All urban services and facilities are available to the property, or can easily be extended to the property, as needed. The subject property is served with domestic water (12 -inch inaiii — l ob :l -sill Water Co.) and sewer lines (16 -inch main — City of Yakima,) are located along South 861h Avenue and are of adequate size to accommodate multi -family development. The property has direct access to South 85th & 86th Avenues and Occidental Road. Electricity and telephone are currently located on-site and the property is protected by the Yakima Fire Department and Police Department. The property lies within the West Valley School 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, this property can be served with the existing facilities capable of supporting the most intensive uses, as the site is served by a 16 -inch sanitary sewer main and 12 -inch water main. If any service or facility deficiency exists in the delivery of services to this property, necessary mitigation will take place by the developer to ensure adequate public services and facilities are in place at his/her/their expense through future SEPA and land use concurrency requirements, upon the development of the property. 11. flow is the 2roposed ;none change compatible withthe existing neighboring uses? The proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring land uses because surrounding properties that lie directly to the north and west are generally under the same ownership of Apple Tree Resort. Under this scenario, open space is likely to remain to the north as it is part of the resort and existing commercial property to the west is likely to develop commercially which is consistent with multi -family zoning. Zoning the YPC OPQ 'riECEIVED subject property high-density residential will provide transitional zoning between the IT YOFcommercial activities in the commercial zone and residential uses t the east and sa:lrtl. 1 Property to the south of the subject property is lower in elevation and separated from the subject property by the McGonagle Ditch and other property owned by the proponent. Vacant property (which lies within Yakima County jurisdiction), a fairly steep slope and the ditch add distance between properties lying north and south of the ditch. In essence, a natural buffer between the uses occurs due to these physical features. Property to the northeast and east contain single-family residences, a commercial storage facility and vacant land. The residences are generally located on large lots, as if in a rural setting, although the properties are within the Yakima City Limits. Compatibility between any proposed land use on the subject property and existing land uses depends what type of development occurs on the property and at what location on the property. Under this scenario, compatibility between uses will be maintained through project permitting and additional site specific plan review once a formal application is submitted. This will ensure compatibility between existing uses and future uses. This is the normal process for a non -project rezone application but ensures that future construction on the property is compatible with neighboring land uses. What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as sitescreening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc.? No mitigation is proposed as part of this rezone request. However, appropriate mitigation is built into the SEPA and zoning codes through regular site plan approval once a specific project is proposed. Required mitigation to address compatibility would be implemented at that time. M. What is the public need for the proposed change? The public need arises from the fact that it is difficult to find appropriately zoned property for additional multi -family residential projects even after the most recent comprehensive plan update. The West Valley Area (including the Yakima Urban Area under county jurisdiction in this area) currently has a total of about 17 parcels of property that are designated High-density Residential that total about 256 acres. Of those 256 acres, approximately 230 acres are currently zoned Multi -family Residential and 27 are designated High-density but not zoned multi -family residential. Of those 230 acres zoned multi -family residential, approximately 167 acres are owned by Congdon Orchards or its subsidiaries. The balance of about 63 acres is owned by Summit Crest, Westwood West Golf Course, Apple Tree Resort and three other property owners. The review further indicates that the Summit Crest's properties (27 acres designated but not zoned and 30 acres designated and zoned) have difficulty gaining access to public water and sewer services due to their far distance from the utilities and/or problems with topography do not permit sewer service extensions at this time. The majority of the YPC 090 property is owned by Congdon Orchards (167 acres) and is either planted ill orchard or APR 3 hops, both long-term crops that are not likely to be removed anytime soon as both the orchards and hops are new plantings. The next largest )and owner with inulti-tarn ly CITE Of YAKIMA zoned property is Westwood West Golf Course (15 acres) which is waiting out an Open IV Space commitment prior to developing any of their multi -family zoned property. Thus, a balance of 18 acres zoned for multi -family which can be readily served with infrastructure and ready for development is a deficiency in the plan, as this is not enough to accommodate the West Valley Area until 2040. A deficiency in the plan also exists because too much multi -family development property is owned by too few property owners. These property owners have designated the property for other long-term land uses, mainly agriculture or recreation. This deficiency has consequences. In this case, the consequences have been the removal of approximately 25 acres of property from the General Commercial zoning district to accommodate the Lodges at West Valley multi -family development and construct 438 apartment units. Converting commercial property to multi -family use just reduces the amount of available commercial property in the future. So, the current high-density residential deficiency may affect other zoning districts which permit multi -family development through Class 2 or Class 3 Review and reduces the amount of land in other zoning districts. Under the scenario above, it is necessary to wait for property to become available for development or no development occurs. This exacerbates the deficiency and causes a need for additional multi -family residential property to be added to the land use inventory to accommodate multi -family residential growth into the 2040, as contemplated by the comprehensive plan. Secondly, the City has provided the necessary infrastructure for this specific type of development (i.e. major arterial roadways, easy access to the transportation network, adequate water and waste water lines). The public expects a variety of housing and multi -family zoning provides that variety within a single zoning district (single-family, two-family and multi -family). This rezone meets that public need and perspective, while using the infrastructure provided for residential development to locate at this location. Based on the above, a public need exists for additional multi -family residential zoning in the City of Yakima and West Valley Area.

If so, how? See attached written narrative. F.

A. Does your proposal address circumstances that have changed sitice the last tine the relevant co u . rehensive elan nuip or teat was considered? 11" so how? Yes, this proposal addresses circumstances which have changed since the last time the relevant comprehensive plan map was considered, which was 2017. The owner of this property just missed the 2016/2017 comprehensive plan update cut-off to submit an application to the City and has had to wait 2 years to submit this comprehensive plan map amendment. The subject property lies just north of, and is owned by, the owner of a local business known as Audio King & Tinting which abuts the subject property to the south. Since the time of the last comprehensive plan update, the business which is located on the property has grown substantially. Due to this growth, the property owner has had to look at expansion plans. Properties that would meet the needs of the business are only available in one direction, to the north, which is contiguous to the subject property. Because the property lies on a corner, and can oifly expand in that direction, expansion options are limited to the subject property. Surrounding properties to the west (across South 7 t Street), south (across East Nob Hill Boulevard) and east (across an alley) are all fully developed or do not meet the needs of the business because they are located across existing improved roadways. Therefore, the property owner has had the foresight to purchase the adjacent property to the north for future expansion. B. Does your,proposal better implement applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant comp rehensive p,lan map or text? It so how? Yes, this proposal better implements applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map because the proposal will provide additional property that is designated Commercial Mixed -Use and permit a zoning change to accommodate the expansion of an existing successful business. This proposal better implements applicable comprehensive plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive map because the proposal will provide additional commercial land to an area where the inventory of commercial land is insufficient for local retail and service providers to expand without the possibility of having to move to a new location. YPC 124 The proposal better implements the applicable plan policies because it meets the purpose of the Commercial Mixed -Use land use designation at 2.2.4 of the comprehensive plan by RECEIVED promoting: "the greater integration of mixed uses that offer greater development choices to property owners, increased housing options, strengthened commercial retail areas and lively pedestrian -oriented development". t� CITY'l The proposal meets the locational criteria of the comprehensive plan because the subject + " � 'Me M " property adjoins an existing commercial business, located within an existing commercial center, and will be incorporated into that business which is located along an arterial. The proposal better implements the applicable plan policies because it meets the following goals and policies: Goal 2.5 — Arterial corridors and other mixed-use centers. Enhance the character, function and economic vitality of Yakima's arterial corridors and mixed-use centers. Policy 2.5„ — 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 and service commercial uses. Provide zoning and design standards to maintain compatibility between different uses and zones. Polis 2. r.: — Utilize strict access management standards to enhance safety and maintain the arterial traffic functions of the corridor. 111ro anent Comment — This proposal implements the comprehensive plan better than the current designation because it will provide an opportunity for an existing business to expand at its preferred location. It will abut an existing residential neighborhood on the north and commercial businesses on the west, south and east which places the property in a mixed-use area. The property will be used in conjunction with an existing business that fronts on East Nob Hill Boulevard, which is a designated urban arterial roadway. Primary access is from South 7 t Street, which mitigates traffic impacts to the arterial (East Nob Hill Boulevard) because primary access is from a secondary street and near designated street intersection (South 7th Street & East Nob Hill Boulevard). This site contains an older home which is intended to be demolished and replaced with a parking lot for employees and also used to temporarily park customer vehicles once work on them has been completed. For these reason, this proposal better implements applicable plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map. C. Does your proposal correct an obvious mapping error? If so how? Y Of? 11 ?,0;6 CITY OF YAKIMA Vdlil','11111k:11&1'1 011V No, it does not appear that an obvious mapping error occurred. This is a voluntary request on behalf of the property owner, which complies with the annual comprehensive plan update, recognizes recent land use developments, recognizes land use trends in the immediate area and helps to promote economic development. D. Does our proposal address and identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan? if so whet is the deficiency? This proposal does involve an identified deficiency in the comprehensive plan. The deficiency deals with the fact that there is a need for areas of expansion for established land uses. Specifically, many commercial areas are located in existing clusters that do not permit expansion beyond their current borders because the cluster is fully developed or expansion is limited due to physical features that prohibit the cluster from being expanded in another direction. In this case, to accommodate the business owner's needs, the business can only be expanded to the north. Currently, the City of Yakima has a very limited amount of commercially zoned property in this particular area which permits the expansion of existing businesses because the existing commercial area is built -out or boxed -in by physical features. This is the situation with this property. It only has one way to expand, and, that is to the north. The proposal is to demolish an existing residence on a lot that abuts an existing commercial business so it can construct a parking lot for employees and customers. This request fulfills that deficiency by providing additional lands for future growth of an existing business within this commercial center. E. Is the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment coordinated with and take into consideration the comprehensive Mans adopted b Yakima Couny or cities with which the Ci of Yakima has in part, common borders or related regional issues as my be re uired by I CW 36.70A.100? If so how? Yes, this proposal is consistent with RCW 36.70A.100. This application is part of annual comprehensive plan update process for the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. The City of Yakima coordinates this update with Yakima County and/or cities with which the City of Yakima has, in part, common borders or related regional issues for consistency between the jurisdictions. YPC 126 F. Is the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment consistent with the Growth Management Act GMA RCW Ch. 36.70A and the Yakima Coun -wide n ECENED Planning Policy (CWPP)? ? If so,how? APR 3 0 nja Yes, this proposal is consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Yakima CITE OF Y KI MA County -wide Planning Policy because the proposal directs urban growth to an existing ILP.. u 4 01 urban area (within City Limits firs() and encourages infill in an area where all Urban level services and facilities are currently provided or can easily be extended. The proposal reduces sprawl and is served with an adequate transportation system. This proposal also encourages economic development in the urban area and provides jobs and goods and services for the surrounding neighborhood and the general Yakima Area. G. Have the cumulative impacts of all comprehensive plan amendments been considered in the evaluation of the proposed amendment? if so how? Yes, all cumulative impacts of all comprehensive plan amendments have been considered in the evaluation of the proposed amendment. This is the first year since the adoption and update of the previous comprehensive plan, so all comprehensive plan amendments starting this year are new to the existing comprehensive plan. This particular area has seen a substantial amount of re -development with older businesses being removed by economic forces and new businesses replacing them. Thus, the impacts in this area were taken into consideration when the comprehensive plan was recently updated and renamed "We are Yakima — Comprehensive Plan 2040". This was an exhaustive process that took at least 2 years and considered and evaluated all comprehensive plan amendments into a single document up to that time. These current updates will be evaluated by staff, citizenry and the City Council of Yakima to determine and evaluate the cumulative impacts of the proposed amendment. H. For Future Land Use Mai) changes, lcase Vrovide descriptive information re ardin the propertV, including the status of existing land use access to sewer and water, as well as the availlability,,of public facilities such as schools fire and_police services. The subject property consists of an older single-family residence constructed in about 1920 on a 6,534 square foot lot. The residence is connected to public water (6 -inch) and sewer (24 -inch) systems as well as electricity and telephone. Access is directly to South 7 t Street which is a paved local access street that connects with East Nob Hill Boulevard approximately 200 feet to the south. The property is protected by the Yakima Fire Department and Police Department.

"IV" I. How is the sub 'ect proper suitable for uses permitted under the proposed zoning? The property is well suited for all commercial uses permitted under the proposed zoning General Commercial zoning district. The property is flat and served by a paved local access roadway that connects to an urban arterial approximately 200 feet to the south. The property is currently connected to water and sewer services from the City of Yakima. All other urban services and facilities (i.e. parks, police, fire etc.,) are present in the area or are provided by the City of Yakima. In this instance, there is a specific use proposed for the property. The subject property owner also owns a business property directly to the south, Audio King & Tinting, which intends to demolish the residence located on the property and construct a parking lot for employees and customer vehicles. The site of the proposed rezone is small at 6,534 square feet in size but will help the existing business expand, as the business has been very successful at this location. The general area is a mixture of residential housing types to the north and retail and service establishments to the west, south and east. Based on the current land use pattern, this site is suitable for uses permitted in the proposed General Commercial zoning district. What is the status of the existing land use? The subject property consists of one parcel that contains a single-family residence, constructed in about 1920. The parcel is 6,534 square feet in size. The property is served with direct access to South 7t" Street and has easy access to East Nob Hill Boulevard at an improved intersection. A 6 -inch water line and 24 -inch sewer line are currently serving the property. The property is served with police and fire protection by the City of Yakima. Thus, the property is well served and well suited for the intended commercial development. YPC 130 J. How is the rezone request in compliance with and/or how does the request APR 3 b '`y deviate from the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive flan? ZO iu CITY OF "KIM, The rezone request is in compliance with the City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 ."+, ; , nI because the proposed rezone meets the intent of the Commercial Mixed -Use land use designation at 2.2.4 of the comprehensive plan by promoting "the greater integration of mixed uses that offer greater development choices to property owners, increased housing options, strengthened commercial retail areas and lively pedestrian -oriented development". The proposal meets the locational criteria of the comprehensive plan because the subject property adjoins an existing commercial business, located within an existing commercial center, and will be incorporated into that business which is located along an arterial. The proposal better implements the applicable plan policies because it meets the following goals and policies: Goal 2.5 — Arterial corridors and other mixed-use centers. Enhance the character, function and economic vitality of Yakima's arterial corridors and mixed-use centers. 'oligy 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 and service commercial uses. Provide zoning and design standards to maintain compatibility between different uses and zones. �!q is 2. a. —Utilize strict access management standards to enhance safety and maintain the arterial traffic functions of the corridor. Proponent Comment — This proposal implements the comprehensive plan better than the current designation because it will provide an opportunity for an existing business to expand at its preferred location. It will abut an existing residential neighborhood on the north and commercial businesses on the west, south and east which places the property in a mixed-use area. The property will be used in conjunction with an existing business that fronts on East Nob Hill Boulevard, which is a designated urban arterial roadway. Primary access is from South 7t" Street, which mitigates traffic impacts to the arterial (East Nob Hill Boulevard) because primary access is from a secondary street and near designated street intersection (South 7�1' Street & East Nob Hill Boulevard). This site contains an older home which is intended to be demolished and replaced with a parking lot for employees and also used to temporarily park customer vehicles once work on them has been completed. For these reason, this proposal better implements applicable plan policies than the current relevant comprehensive plan map. YPC 131 RECEiVED K. Are there ade nate public facilities such as traffic capacity, sewer services APR 3� il$ potable water, stormwater drainage, schools the and police services and other CITY OF YAKIMA public services and infrastructure existing on the and around the subject property? L , a;;: ''" The subject property consists of an older single-family residence constructed in about 1920 on a 6,534 square foot lot. The residence is connected to public water (6 -inch) and sewer (24 -inch) systenns as well as electricity and telephone. Access is directly to South 7th Street which is a paved local access street that connects with East Nob Hill Boulevard approximately 200 feet to the south. The property is protected by the Yakima Fire Department and Police Department. 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, this property can be served with the existing facilities capable of supporting the most intensive uses, as the site is served by a 24 -inch sanitary sewer main and 6 -inch water main. If any service or facility deficiency exists in the delivery of services to this property, necessary mitigation will take place by the developer to ensure adequate public services and facilities are in place at his/her/their expense through future SEPA and land use concurrency requirements, upon the development of the property. It should be noted that this rezone is to complement an existing business and the likelihood of the "most intensive use" of a new zone is not likely to occur. L. How is the proposed zone change compatible with the existing neighboring uses? The proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring land uses because surrounding properties that lie to the west, south and east are currently zoned commercial and accommodate commercial businesses. Property to the west consists of a Laundromat and auto repair shop, property to the south (across East Nob Hill Boulevard) consists of a mixture of different retail, service, residential and office structures. Property to the north is residential and lies adjacent to existing commercial activities on its west and east sides across South 7't' Street and the alley between South 7th Street and South 8"' Street. These existing, businesses have direct access to either South 7th Street„ the alley between South. 7th 'Street and South 8th Street and to South 8th Street, thus no new area of the transportation network will be affected by this rezone. According to the applicant, most commercial traffic enters and leaves the surrounding businesses via local access streets directly to East Nob Hill Boulevard which keeps unwanted commercial traffic out of the residential neighborhood. Since the businesses located in this area are service and retail outlets, most of the businesses operate only during daytime hours which reduces the impact on the resident's living in the area which helps ensure compatibility. YPC 132 Since the intended use of the property is known, a parking lot, it is easy to determine RECiEiVE® compatibility between the zone change and existing land uses, as the zoning code will dictate site -screening standards to be implemented as part of the intended parking lot APR $ p Zgi8 project. Additionally, theCity may impose ingress/egress restrictions if it feels traffic IT MA circtdation will have an impact on the surrounding existing uses. GOF Kf � g g Based on these factors, the proposed zone change is compatible with existing neighboring uses. Compatibility will be maintained through project permitting and additional site specific plan review once an application is submitted for the parking lot. This will ensure compatibility between existing uses and future uses. This is the normal process for a non -project rezone application but ensures that future construction in the area is compatible with neighboring land uses, as projects are proposed. What mitigating measures are planned to address incompatibility, such as sitescreening, buffering building design, open space, traffic flow alteration, etc.? No mitigation is proposed as part of this rezone request. However, appropriate mitigation is built into the SEPA and zoning codes through regular site plan approval once a specific project is proposed. Required mitigation to address compatibility would be implemented at that time. M. What is the public need for the proposed change? The public need arises from the fact that expansion within some existing zoning districts does not exist. This occurs when all or most of the available land in a particular zoning district is developed or not available for sale. It also occurs when a particular property has nowhere else to expand due to physical features, and is forced to expand in a certain direction. Thus, in certain instances, existing businesses and industries have nowhere to expand. This is the case in this general area as all adjoining commercially zoned land is located across road rights -of -ways. If businesses are expected to remain at their current successful locations, it will be necessary to fulfill the need of providing additional lands for expansion. At this site, the City has provided the necessary infrastructure for this specific type of development (i.e. major arterial roadways, easy access to the transportation network, adequate water and waste water lines). The public expects successful businesses to expand and remain in Yakima, preferably at their current locations. This rezone meets that public need and perspective, while using the infrastructure provided for commercial businesses to locate at this location and remain available to the citizens while being competitive with other businesses. Small rezones like this also provide the opportunity for additional jobs because as businesses grow, so do jobs. Based on the above, there is a public need for the proposed change.

History — Since the adoption of the original Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan in the mid -1980's, there have been two attempts to change the Future Land Use Map and zoning of this property by Yakima County and the City of Yakima from residential to commercial. The owner of the property was, and still is, an attorney. He was keenly aware of the fact that changing the land use designation and zoning to commercial would render his single-family residence non -conforming. Based on that fact, the property owner resisted the proposed changes in the past. At this point in time, the property owner is ready to vacate the property as a residential property and join the commercial zoning districts that surround this property on all four sides. Hence, this application is being submitted to accomplish that desire and meet the past requests of a comprehensive plan amendment and rezone to commercial as previously proposed by the city and county. This application will remove an "isolated island" of residentially zoned property parcel of property and meld it with the existing commercial zoning located on all sides of it. The property is well suited for all commercial uses permitted under the proposed zoning General Commercial zoning district. The property is generally flat except for some steep g, slopes along the north and east property lines, slightly over one-half acre in size (.68 acre) and is located at the southwest corner of South 481h Avenue and West Nob Hill Boulevard. The property has direct access to South 48th Avenue a paved arterial roadway „a - that cotin- 661s with East Nob Hill Boulevard to the north and West Washington Avenue on the south. The property is currently connected to Nob Hill Water and to sanitary sewer from the City of Yakima. All other urban services and facilities (i.e. parks, police, fire etc.) are present in the area or are provided by the City of Yakima. The general area is a mixture of vacant land, residential housing (single-family & Multi- family) and commercial uses. Based on the current land use pattern, this site is suitable for uses permitted in the proposed General Commercial zoning district. What is the status of the existing land use?�'�-�"� The subject property consists of one parcel that contains a single-family residence, constructed in about 1925. The parcel is .68 acres in size. The property is served with direct access to South 48th Avenue and has easy access to West Nob Hill Boulevard at a signalized intersection. The property has access to two Nob Hill Water mains, a 12 -inch water line is located along the north property line (West Nob Hill Boulevard) and an fl- inch water main along the east property line (South 48th Avenue). Sanitary sewer is provided by the City of Yakima by a 15 -inch line located along the east property line (South 48'x' Avenue). The property is served with police and fire protection by the City of Yakima. Thus, the property is well served and well suited for future commercial development.
