Yakima City issued a preliminary binding site plan for 16 lots at 905 S 72th Ave on August 7. The project is in the GC zoning district. Yakima County issued two other notices: a golf course pond modification at 1250 Rocky Ford Rd, Toppenish, and a subdivision proposal to divide 4.47 acres into 19 lots.

The golf course project, located in Toppenish but affecting Yakima County, involves expanding a fire suppression pond. The subdivision at 905 S 72nd Ave would create smaller lots than typical, with sizes ranging from 7,000 to 9,939 square feet. Public comments on both projects are due by August 20.

Residents should note the proposed developments are in Yakima City or Yakima County, not in rural areas. The projects require public input before final approval. The city and county will review comments before making decisions on the proposals.
