AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 5.D.
For Meeting of: June 17, 2014
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing Right -of -Way Use Permit for Steve
Weise for the installation of an awning with solar panels
overhanging in the right of way in front of 17 North 3rd Street.
SUBMITTED BY: Steve Osguthorpe, AICP, Community Development Director
(509) 575 -3533
Joe Caruso, Code Administration Manager (509) 575 -6257
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Steve Weise, business owner of Leading Force Energy & Design Center, is requesting a Right -
of -Way Use permit to install an awning with solar panels overhanging in the right of way in front
of 17 North 3rd Street. Mr. Weise has also applied for a separate right of way use permit to
install a sign over the right of way. The property is located within the Central Business District
(CBD) zoning district.
Right -of -Way Use permits are processed under the provisions of Chapter 8.20, which requires
review by the code administration manager and final approval by the City Council. The permit
also requires liability insurance as prescribed in Section 8.20.060, which will be provided to the
Office of Code Administration prior to issuance of any permit. Approved permits are valid for a
period of one year, renewable annually. That allows the City opportunity to review any public
health /safety /welfare issues that may need to be addressed in subsequent years.

REQUEST
Steve Weise is requesting a Right -of -Way Use Permit to construct an approximate 20 ft. X 6 ft.
solar awning nine feet above the sidewalk at 17 N 3rd St. The property is located within the
Central Business District, (CBD) zoning district. The awning is proposed to be constructed over
the public right -of -way for 3rd St. for the purpose of keeping patrons out of the weather and
providing power for the nearby sign.
FINDINGS
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TEAM (DST) REVIEW: A DST meeting was held on May 6, 2014,
for technical review of this request. No formal comments were received objecting to the
request.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The awning is consistent with the provisions of the Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance in
regard to its location and height above the public right -of -way. However, a right -of -way use
permit is required to allow the awning above the public right -of -way.
RECOM M ENDATION
According to the findings listed above, the City of Yakima Planning Division has no objection to
the granting of a right -of -way use permit.
