On May 26, 2021 the Yakima Planning Commission held an open record public hearing on the amendments and recommended approval. Per state requirements, the draft SMP was forwarded to the Department of Ecology (DOE) for an initial determination of concurrence with state law, which was received on June 22, 2021. The next step in the update process is to formally adopt the amendments via Ordinance and submit for final DOE approval.
