ITEM TITLE:Ordinance amending Yakima Municipal Code 1.43.080 addressing the duties and powers of the Hearing Examiner
SUBMITTED BY:

Joan Davenport, AICP, Community Development Director

Glenn Denman, Code Administration Manager

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
With the 2/16/2021 adoption of the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), the IPMC references the City of Yakima’s contracted Hearing Examiner (YMC Chapter 1.43) as the one who will hear appeals related to property maintenance cases. The proposed amendment to Chapter 1.43 expands the utilization of the Hearing Examiner to not only hear land use and other type cases, but to also hear those property maintenance cases as well. The contract that the City of Yakima holds with the Hearing Examiner already includes such reviews.
