Yakima City Council approved a preliminary long plat for Columbia Ridge Homes LLC to subdivide one parcel into 21 lots in the R-1 zoning district. The proposal, filed on August 27, 2026, includes plans for a 21-lot subdivision on a single parcel in Yakima. The project was submitted by HLA Engineering & Surveying Inc., representing the developer, and requires public comment by September 10, 2026.

The subdivision would be located within Yakima city limits, not in rural Yakima County. The project is classified under Yakima City as a Development project, with a lead agency of Yakima City. This approval is part of the city's ongoing land use planning process. The next step is for the city to review public comments before moving forward with the final plat approval.

The development could affect local infrastructure, including roads and utilities, but the source does not specify how the city will address these impacts. Residents should monitor the city's website for updates on the project's progress and public comment period.
