REQUEST FOR FUNDING (Funding is awarded 50% Loan and 50% Grant. No more than $1,000,000 total award from
SIED when loan and grant combined.)
Interest rates on loans are established when the County formally approves the project contract by using the County
Interfund Loan Rate, as authorized by law. Loans are given for a term of 10 years and annual payments are made in
equal amounts on June 15t of each year.
An interlocal agreement will be established between the County and the applicant specifying repayment dates and a
loan amortization schedule. Loan payment installments are based on an ordinary annuity, compounded annually.
If an applicant needs additional flexibility on loan repayment schedules they can request a deferral. Interest on loans
will continue to accrue from the date the contract is approved by the County, even if the applicant is granted a
deferral on their first loan payment.
If an applicant requests a deferral of the first loan payment, the applicant must justify the request.
A SIED loan is a general obligation of the jurisdiction receiving the loan. With acceptance of a SIED loan, the
jurisdiction agrees to the terms of the interlocal agreement regardless of the project which prompted the application
for SIED funding.

Executive Summary
The SIED Advisory Board takes many factors into consideration when making recommendations for funding. This
Project Summary highlights the main factors including: local match, funding from other sources, jobs
created/retained, wage rates, jobs created/retained per SIED dollar invested, new private investment, and new tax
revenues generated.
Russell Lane Improvement Project
Project Title:
Project Summary: Describe the public infrastructure project and the private development that will occur. Explain why
the private development requires the public infrastructure project:
Private Development:
The Yakima First Partners, LLC (YFP) proposal is to develop a 24 seat, 2,600 square foot Popeye's quick service
restaurant with a eating patio, drive-thru, and 37 parking spaces. The property currently encompasses one 1.11-acre
parcel that was previously used as a used car lot. The development will bring new retail restaurant establishments to
the City of Yakima.
The property is served by South 1st Street, a principal arterial to the East, and Russell Lane, a local access road, to
the South. The project is proposed to be served with public water and sewer.
The project has an estimated build out cost of $4,084,000 and the developer anticipates construction to be completed
in 2023. Public improvements will be constructed at the beginning of construction.
Public Development
Currently there is a three legged signalized intersection servicing the Home Depot entrance off South First Street that
prevents direct access to the proposed development. Adding a forth leg to the signal, creating a signalized entrance
into the restaurant was investigated. However the south edge of the signal is also only 50 feet from the north edge of
Russell Lane, which creates a traffic safety concern with the overlapping turn pockets. Therefore the northern portion
of Russell Lane will need to be relocated to align the public road with the existing traffic signal. The realignment will
require revisions to the traffic signal for an additional leg, and constructing Russell Lane to City of Yakima Standards.
The site is well suited for the proposed commercial development, the City of Yakima and YFP have reviewed
alternatives and found the proposed Russell Road realignment shown on attachment to be optimal. The road
realignment also rectifies the existing concerns. Without road revision to the development area, the required utility
improvements will far exceed the costs a developer could reasonable pay.
The City of Yakima and YFP has reviewed alternatives and found the proposed Russell Road realignment shown on
attachment to be optimal and the most cost-effective solution. The proposed signal and Russell Lane improvements
will rectify the existing traffic safety concerns, provide the ability to redevelop an existing vacant commercial lot and
allow much needed economic development opportunity in this undeveloped area.

Other Benefits of the Public Infrastructure Project:
In addition to servicing the proposed development, this project will provide important infrastructure to alleviate traffic
safety concerns, and increase connectivity to the City's transportation network for the existing commercial
businesses along Russell Lane.
The project will also promote future growth and utilization of undeveloped land further west along Russell Lane.
Adjacent property owners have had strong interest from a number of businesses interested in constructing facilities in
this area, but have been reluctant due to existing access concerns. While there are no additional plans for
construction at this time, this infrastructure project is expected to generate additional development within the area.

A4. Describe how the public facility project will enhance or encourage other development in the immediate area in
addition to the direct development described in this application section C.
Russell Lane Improvement Project will increase the access to 4.19 acres of undeveloped General Commercial zoned
property and 4.51 acres of undeveloped Light Industrial zoned property. The improved access will encourage further
economic development in this corridor, and provide potential for much needed commercial infill. Full build -out of the
area anticipates an economic benefit of $20 million annually.
The project will inject immediate economic stimulus dollars into the City of Yakima's economy through the creation of
construction jobs. In the long-term, opening access to additional commercial and light industrial property along Russell
Lane will invigorate development.

B1 continued: Provide a narrative of the investigation of the above referenced funding sources and the outcomes:
The City believes SIED funds are the most efficient resource to match with the private funds for this project because of
the need for additional commercial developed land, and community benefit in eliminating traffic safety concerns. The
public benefit from this project will have long term and broad economic impacts for the entire City of Yakima, not just
limited to the immediate area.
B2. In the context of the local government's overall annual budget, explain the need for SIED assistance. If the
applicant has budget reserves, please explain why these funds are not available for the project.
The City of Yakima does not have funds available to directly fund a project of this magnitude. The City's existing
budget for transportation improvements is very limited and primarily focuses on maintaining existing roads, with no
reserves available. The City of Yakima will utilize revenue generated by the development and developer agreement to
finance the project.
B3. Identify funds (General Fund, Utility Fund, Property taxes, etc.) that are eligible to repay a SIED loan:
The City will utilize a combination of reserves, property taxes, construction sales tax, retail sales tax, and developer
reimbursement for repayment of the SIED loan funding of the Russell Lane Improvement Project
Will a revenue stream be generated that could repay a SIED loan outside of the system's normal operations
and maintenance costs? If yes, please explain:
The improvements will generate construction sales tax, and retail sales tax due tot he improvements in the developed
area. There are no anticipated additional revenue sources to pay back the SIED loan.
B4. If the local jurisdiction is not financially contributing to the project, please explain why.
The City is committed to the SIED loan repayment, although they will primarily use revenue generated by the
development and developer agreement to finance the project.

C1. Describe the private development that will be supported by the public infrastructure/facility project.
The Yakima First Partners, LLC proposal is to develop a 24 seat, 2,600 square foot Popeye's quick service restaurant
with a eating patio, drive-thru, and 37 parking spaces. The property currently encompasses one 1.11-acre parcel that
was previously used as a used car lot. The development will bring new retail restaurant establishments to the City of

The project has an estimated build out cost of $4,084,000 and the developer anticipates construction to be completed in
2023. Public improvements will be constructed at the beginning of construction.
C2. Explain why the private development requires the proposed public infrastructure improvements
described in this application.
Currently there is a three legged signalized intersection servicing the Home Depot entrance off South First Street that
prevents direct access to the proposed development without the addition of a fourth leg to the signal. However the
south edge of the signal is also only 50 feet from the north edge of Russell Lane, which creates a traffic safety conern
with the proposed restaurant. Therefore the northern portion of Russell Lane will need to be relocated to align the
public road with the existing traffic signal. The realignment will require revisions to the traffic signal, adding an
additional leg, and constructing Russell Lane to City of Yakima Standards.
The site is well suited for the proposed commercial development, the City of Yakima and YFP have reviewed

will rectify the existing traffic safety concerns, provide the ability to redevelop an existing vacant commercial lot and
allow much needed economic development opportunity in this undeveloped area.
The site is not economically viable without SIED board assistance with this project and the site will likley remain under
developed due to the access challenges.

C5. What private authorizations remain prior to proceeding with the proposed private development project?
The only remaining private authorization for the Popeye's quick service restaurant will be the result of the SIED board
application. Once approval is provided, the project can proceed. Popeye's has approved the site and terms have
been agreed to and signed by both companies on the Letter of Intent. The Land Lease will formalize the agreement
and no obstacles are anticipated.
C6. Explain how the private sector is financing their capital investment in this project.
Yakima First Partners, LLC, will be seeking financing for the construction of the Popeye's development, but the lender
will not be chosen for the project until around September 2022. Yakima First Partners, LLC have spoken to several
institutions and are just determining the most favorable terms.

C9. Will this project move existing jobs from another part of the county? If yes, please describe why the project
cannot happen where the jobs are currently located.
No jobs are anticipated being relocated from other parts of the County. Mangers from other restaurants will assist in
start-up operations and staffing, but are anticipated to return to their current facility, or another employee would be
promoted to replace them at that facility.
C10. Will the private sector project offer expanded employment opportunities to disadvantaged or unemployed
workers? How will the firm work to hire people from Yakima County?
The proximity to low income areas offers close job opportunities to disadvantaged and currently unemployed workers.
Local employees will be specifically engaged and provided opportunities at locations such as job fairs, local job posting
sites, etc.
