NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS November 6, 2026 City of Royal City 445 Camelia Street NE P.O. Box 1239 Royal City, Washington, 99357 509-346-2263, [email protected] These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of Royal City on behalf of Community Frameworks and Catholic Charities Housing Services of Yakima. REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about November 24, 2026 the City of Royal City will authorize Community Frameworks on behalf of the Catholic Charities Housing Services of Yakima to submit a request to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for the release of Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP) funds under Section 11 of the Housing Opportunity Program Extension Act of 1996, as amended, to undertake a project known as CCHS Royal City Beech Avenue Single Family Housing for the purpose of the development of 21 single-family housing lots within Grant County parcels 071721000 and 071390912 located within the City of Royal City (Project Site). The Project Site is currently vacant, undeveloped and is located south of the current end of Beech Avenue Northeast in Royal City, Washington. The Project Site totals approximately 3.27-acres and is currently owned by Catholic Charities Housing Services Diocese Yakima. Each developed lot will total about 6,000 to 10,000-square feet. The Proposed Project would include the construction of a 1,500 to 1,900 sf single-family home at each of the 21 proposed lots, the extension of Beech Avenue Northeast and construction of Cherry Lane to provide lot access, and supporting infrastructure including the construction of a parking lot, placement of utilities, and stormwater management features. Pedestrian walkways will also be established in the development adjacent to Cherry Lane. Ground disturbance will occur throughout the Project Site to support construction. Sewer, potable water, and electricity are available to the property location. Improvement to the existing U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s underground Royal Branch 4.2 Wasteway 1 (RB4.2WW1) along the south side of the Project Site will be completed as required by U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and Quincy Columbia Basin Irrigation District (QCBID) during the proposed project. All work on or within the vicinity of RB4.2WW1 will be permitted through QCBID with construction specifications provided by QCBID. Construction is anticipated to occur between about 2026 and 2029. The purpose of the Proposed Project is to provide additional affordable housing inventory in the City of Royal City. The total project cost is estimated at approximately $6.95 Million. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The City of Royal City has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the City Hall of Royal City at 445 Camelia Street NE, Royal City, Washington, 99357, and may be examined or copied weekdays 9 A.M to 4 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the City of Royal City. All comments received by November 23, 2026 will be considered by the City of Royal City prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION The City of Royal City certifies to HUD that Ryan Piercy in his capacity as Mayor of the City of Royal City consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows Community Frameworks on behalf of Catholic Charities Housing Services of Yakima to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of Royal City’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Royal City; (b) the City of Royal City has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Acting CPD Director Brian Sturdivant at HUD’s Seattle Office at 909 First Ave, Suite 340, Seattle, WA 98104-1000; or [email protected]. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period. Ryan Piercy, Mayor of City of Royal City #11054/57955 Pub: November 6, 2026
