SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
At the December 3, 2019 City Council meeting, Council reviewed the Planning Commission’s recommendations for text changes to Title 15: the Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance.  After closing the public hearing, Councilmember Funk moved to change the language in Title 15 regarding congregate living, and further changes were made to indicate the proper level of review.  Those changes were agreed to unanimously by the Council, however, the Council did not take the formal step of approving the entire ordinance, Title 15, as amended.  Title 15, with the Council-approved changes, is in front of Council for final approval.  A motion to approve Title 15 as presented is needed to approve the text changes (including the changes to congregate living facilities directed by Council to staff).
