ordinance,subdivision ordinance and comprehensive plan. It will also make
appropriate and adequate provisions for the public health,safety and general

where additional provisions for schools or for additional planning features for
students who walk to and from school have not been recommended or deemed
necessary.
II. Consistency Analysis YMC§16,06.020(B).
The following analysis involves the consistency of the preliminary plat with applicable
development regulations, or in the absence of applicable regulations,the adopted
Comprehensive Plan as mandated by the State Growth Management Act and the Yakima
Municipal Code. During project review,neither the City nor any subsequent reviewing body
may re-examine alternatives to,or hear appeals on,the following items identified in these
conclusions except for issues of code interpretation:
(1)The type of land use contemplated by the proposal(a residential development in an
R-2/R-3 zoning district)is permitted on this site so long as it complies with the conditions
imposed by the Yakima City Council, as well as the regulations of the zoning ordinance,
subdivision ordinance, building codes and other applicable regulations.
(2) The level of development(lot size,contemplated density)would not exceed the
allowable level of development in the Two Family Residential(R-2)and Multi Family
Residential(R-3)zoning district since the proposed lot sizes satisfy the zoning ordinance
requirements.
(3) The availability and adequacy of infrastructure and public facilities is not an issue
because the additional infrastructure that would be provided at the applicant's expense
would ensure that adequate infrastructure and public facilities are available for the proposed
preliminary plat.
(4)The character of the proposal,such as the proposal's consistency with applicable
development standards of the City's Urban Area Zoning Ordinance, primarily involves
consideration of specific development standards relating to lot size, access, potable water,
sewage disposal and other features of the proposed preliminary plat which have been
discussed in detail above.With the recommended conditions,the proposed preliminary plat
would be consistent with the development standards of applicable City ordinances,
