SUMMARY EXPLANATION:

Hordan Planning Services, on behalf of West Valley Nursing Homes Inc., submitted Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment (CPA), Rezone, and Environmental Review applications for five (5) parcels totaling 20.98 acres in the vicinity of South 85th Ave and Occidental Ave. The property owner is requesting to retain the Future Land Use map designation of Mixed Residential and zoning designation of Multi-family Residential (R-3) previously approved through CPA#006-12, RZ#006-12, and remove a property use and development agreement executed by City Council which limited development of the property to multi-family senior living and senior care residential facilities. After holding a study session on July 11, 2018 and a public hearing on September 26, 2018, the Yakima Planning Commission recommended approval of the Comp Plan Amendment and Rezone applications, with the Findings being signed by the chair on October 3, 2018.

 

In accordance with YMC 16.10.090, the City Council shall direct planning staff to prepare legislation to approve, approve with conditions, or deny each amendment under consideration; and at a subsequent City Council meeting enact an Ordinance adopting the decision reached at the public hearing.
