A Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation was received by the Planning Division on August 17, 2022. On September 6, 2022, Council set the date of September 20, 2022 (per RCW 35.13.125), to consider this annexation request. The area proposed for annexation is approximately 90.72 acres in size and consists of 10 parcels zoned SR, R-1, R-2 and R-3.
The purpose of this meeting is for Council to determine the following:
1) Whether to accept, reject, or geographically modify the proposed annexation;
2) Whether to require the assumption of any portion of existing city indebtedness by the area to be annexed; and,
3) Whether to require the simultaneous adoption of a Comprehensive Plan.
Regarding the assumption of indebtedness, all property within the territory being annexed shall be assessed and taxed at the same rate and on the same basis as other property of the City of Yakima, Washington, and shall assume its proportional share of the existing indebtedness of the City of Yakima, Washington as presently adopted or as is hereafter amended.
The property is currently zoned SR, R-1, R-2 and R-3 and has Future Land Use designations of Low Density Residential and Mixed Residential. These designation is consistent with the City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040. A separate Comprehensive Plan for the area is not required. |
