RE: Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance: adopt Walla Walla's Bed & Breakfast Code Provisions
Dear City Council:
We request the City adopt Walla Walla's code provisions for Bed and Breakfasts (B & Bs) in the amended Yakima
Urban Area Zoning Ordinance (YUAZO). The two recent B & Bs hearings illustrate the need for up -to -date and
proven zoning classifications and standards for B & Bs. Bend, Walla Walla and Yakima have numerous
similarities. B & Bs in those communities are thriving, which is why we looked at these codes. Copies of both
codes enclosed. We recommend adopting Walla Walla's B & B codes since its zoning districts are most like ours.
B & Bs are highly desirable members of many neighborhoods and communities across the country. B & Bs do not
compete or detract from the hotel industry. B & Bs provide additional visitor accommodation for our ever - growing
tourism and recreational activities, the new college, and other future growth. The Yakima Valley Visitors &
Convention Bureau letter from John Cooper, President and CEO (enclosed) stated "...my twenty five years of
experience in the travel and tourism industry, I recognize that bed and breakfasts provide a unique niche for
visitors." Let's not let this niche get away!
The City of Walla Walla and the City of Bend both have very good zoning provisions for B & Bs and demonstrated
success with B & Bs. B & Bs should be incorporated into our residential districts. The review and permitting of B
& Bs should be very straightforward — impacts are often non - discernable. B & B operators are likely to be the guy
next door or the mom and pop who want to do something creative and friendly with their home once the kids are
gone. B & Bs succeed because of their residential character and residential neighbors. They are unlikely to be bad
neighbors. You've probably noticed that B & Bs are often the nicest properties on the block.
We request you adopt the City of Walla Walla's zoning ordinance provisions for B & Bs in the YUAZO.
Walla Walla allows B & Bs as an accessory use to a permitted residential use and recognizes that B & Bs are one
means of preserving historic, architectural resources in the community. Similarly, in Bend, B & Bs are permitted
uses in all Residential Districts within a structure used as a residence. Both cities include clear development
standards for B & Bs. These 5 — 7 standards address signage, operation and even monitoring. As a result, B & Bs
are welcomed and successful in these cities.
These changes are in keeping with the intent of the residential zones and the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive
Plan. For example, Goal 5.5 Preserve and Improve Existing Residential Neighborhoods and Policy 5.5.2 Seek
alternatives, when feasible, to demolition and removal of units from housing stock. These changes will clarify,
simplify and streamline the permitting process a little bit, while allowing residential properties a slight expansion of
use to serve the maturing needs of our city and its guests. The standards will make sure B & Bs are good fits in our
residential areas and foster neighborhood harmony.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Anne Knapp
Randall Leofs

RE: Bed and breakfast data
Dear Holli:
3UL 2 �L 2008
CITY OF Y AKMA
PLANNING Dly-
Thank you for the call yesterday seeking information on bed and - breakfast customers. While I
do not have direct data for Yakima, I did find some information in a study completed by
Washington State Tourism that provides some data on visitors to the region at that time.
From June through October 2003 the state had eighteen electronic survey devices placed at
lodging establishments, attractions and visitor centers from Yakima to Walla Walla. The primary
purpose was to gather data on visitors, with an emphasis on overnight visitors. A total of 5,084
surveys were used to compile the data_ . I have enclosed a copy of the visitor profile for your
review.
Some interesting information found in the report:
® 8% of the overnight visitors to Washington Wine Country used a bed and breakfast
® 66% of those interviewed in Yakima County were from Washington, the vast majority of
those from King County
49% of those staying the night were 35 -54 years of age
29% were 55 years or older
54% of the total overnight visitors to Yakima County had a household income exceeding
$75,000
The visitors surveyed in Yakima County participated in a wide range of activities
including visiting wineries, sightseeing, cultural events, historic attractions, shopping and
dining.
Form my twenty five years of experience in the travel and tourism industry, I recognize that bed
and breakfasts provide a unique niche' for visitors.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide.
Sincerely,
John Cooper

A. Residential Density Standard. The following density standards apply to all new developments
and subdivisions in all of the Residential Districts. Redevelopment or expansion of existing uses
within areas of existing land use patterns shall comply with these standards to the extent practical.
The density standards shown in Table 2.1.600 below are intended to ensure efficient use of
buildable lands and provide for a range of needed housing, in conformance with the General Plan.
1. The density standards may be averaged over more than one development phase (i.e., as in a
master planned development). Duplex and triplex lots used to comply with the density
standard shall be so designated on the final partition or subdivision plat.
2. Partitions shall be planned, and the construction of dwellings on parcels or lots shall be sited
to allow future re- development on these lots or parcels at minimum densities.

units per acre, then a maximum number of 36 units are allowed, regardless of the amount of land
area dedicated for public right of way or open space in conjunction with the project.
