On April 22, 2020, Racquet Lane Townhomes LLC submitted a preliminary plat and development agreement for Racquet Lane Luxury Townhomes, a 73-lot Planned Development subdivision located at 2600 Racquet Ln. This site underwent a Type 2 Review, Critical Areas Review, and Environmental Review in 2017 for a 73-unit townhome development, and received approval on February 28, 2018. These units are currently under construction.
The developer now wishes to subdivide this property, which is located in the Multifamily (R-3) zoning district, to allow each unit to have its own separate lot consisting of a living unit, rear yard, and personal parking. The remainder of the property is proposed to be established as tracts under common ownership to include vehicle circulation, additional parking, and open space. The developer is also proposing a master planned development to allow modifications to the code requirements in the design of this development, such as minimum lot size and width standards.
The Hearing Examiner held a virtual public hearing on July 23, 2020, and issued a written recommendation to approve the proposed plat and master planned development on August 6, 2020. Council was provided a complete printed version of the record for review on September 1, 2020 (Council--please bring your packet to the meeting). The record can be found online here: https://yakima.novusagenda.com/agendapublic/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=7902&MeetingID=859
Staff is recommending that the Resolution for the preliminary plat be approved, along with the Resolution for the development agreement. |
