A Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation was received by the Planning Division on December 18, 2018.  On January 15, 2019, Council set the date of February 5, 2019 (per RCW 35.13.410), to consider this annexation request. The area proposed for annexation is approximately 9.32 acres in size, consisting of 7 parcels, zoned R-2, R-3, and B-2. See attached maps.

The purpose of this meeting is for the City Council to determine the following: whether to accept, reject, or geographically modify the proposed annexation; whether it will require the simultaneous adoption of a comprehensive plan for the area to be annexed; and whether it will require the assumption of all or any portion of existing city indebtedness by the area to be annexed.

The Comprehensive Plan designation for the area is a mixture of Mixed Residential and Community Mixed Use, which is consistent with the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan 2040. A separate Comprehensive Plan for the area is not required.

The annexed parcels will be taxed at the same rate and on the same basis as other parcels in the City of Yakima, and will be subject to any outstanding indebtedness that may appropriately be applied to them.
