Re: Touchmark Living Center Subdivision No. 1 City Clerk Office
Request for Modification of the Approved Final Plat for Touchmark Living
Center Subdivision No. 1, Consisting of Five (5) Commercial Office Building
Lots, and Eleven (11) Common Lots on 25.48 Acres in an L-O Zone by
Touchmazk Living Center of the Treasure Valley.
(File No. FP-04-025).
We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the
applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or
deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATION SUMMARY & LOCATION
The applicant, Touchmazk Living Center of the Treasure Valley, is requesting a modification to
the approved final plat (FP-02-006) for Touchmazk Living Center Subdivision No. 1. The
original application was approved for 8 building lots and 11 common lots on 113.15 acres in an
L-O zone. The applicant proposes to only plat 25.48 acres at this time and plat the rest in future
phases. This will reduce the building lots in this phase to 5 commercial office lots. The 11
common landscape lots will remain the same.
Staff finds that the proposed final plat substantially complies with the approved preliminary
plat. The configuration of Lots 1 & 2, Block 1 shown on the final plat have been modified
slightly; however, the number of building lots has remained the same for this portion of the
subdivision.
For clarification, the type of building lots indicated on the application were single family,
multi-family, assisted care, and office commercial; however, the building lots contained in the
fmal plat are all mixed-use retail and medical offices per the approved planned development.
