Per Chapter 36.70A RCW, the City of Yakima is required to develop a comprehensive land use plan, map, goals and policies, and accompanying development regulations. On June 6, 2017, Council approved the City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040 and development regulations update, consistent with the GMA.
To facilitate potential requests to amend the comprehensive plan, YMC Ch. 16.10. requires the Council to consider annually whether or not to open the amendment process, and if so, adopt the accompanying resolution giving direction to staff and the Planning Commission to hold the required public meeting in February announcing the opening of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process and acceptance of applications. |
