Request for a Reduction in Platting Requirements to Divide a 2.32 Acre Parcel
into Two Parcels in an I-L Zone (MI-04-012) by Tony Zanders.
Staff has reviewed the above referenced submittal and offers the following comments.
APPLICATION SUMMARY & BACKGROUND
The applicant, Tony Zanders, has submitted a Miscellaneous Application (MI) requesting a
reduction in platting requirements to divide a 2.32 acre parcel into two parcels. The subject
parcel is zoned I-L (Light Industrial) and is not part of a recorded subdivision.
The subject property is located at 199 N. Linder Road, on the west side of N. Linder Road,
approximately \4 milenorth ofW. Franklin Road.
The property is owned by Linder Plaza, LLC, and Roy Coneen, as managing member of the
corporation, has provided notarized consent for the division of the property.
A plan, entitled "Exhibit A," has been submitted showing how the parcel will be split. The
portion of the property fronting N. Linder Road has an existing building on it where the
applicant's motor vehicle repair business is currently located. A site plan has been submitted
showing how the back portion of the property will be developed as a result of the proposed lot
split. The applicant is proposing to relocate his business and construct a new building
consisting of 5,400 s.f. on the rear portion of the property.
In June, 2004, the Planning & Zoning Department established a new policy and procedure
regarding re-subdivisions. This decision was based on MCC 12-3-1.B. which states the
following:

Re-Subdivision: Notwithstanding the definition of "subdivision" contained in Section
11-2-2 of this Code, where an applicant desires to subdivide an existing lot which is
located in an existing subdivision which has been previously recorded and the required
improvements made thereon, he may do so without going through the entire platting
procedure required by this Title. He shall, however, submit an application for re-
subdivision showing the existing lot and how the lot is proposed to be re-subdivided.
The City shall then determine what requirements of this Title shall be complied with
by the applicant. The City may require full compliance if deemed necessary. The
provisions of this subsection pertaining to the reduction in platting requirements of
certain parcels may apply to previously unplatted and unsubdivided ground upon
application to the City Council. (Ord. 456, 9-3-1985)
The Planning Director, City Engineer, and City Attorney determined that this ordinance
allows property owners to request a re-subdivision of property if the proposed division meets
the following criteria:
1.
If the property is within a recorded subdivision, a Lot Line Adjustment
application must be submitted and may be approved at staff level.
If the property is unplatted, a Miscellaneous application must be submitted and
heard by the City Council. If the Miscellaneous application is approved by City
Council, a Lot Line Adjustment application must be submitted.
For either platted or unplatted land, the applicant must provide drawings that
show a) the existing parcel and the proposed split, b) any and all existing and
proposed improvements within or adjoining the property, c) proposed sewer
connection and profiles, and d) any other information deemed as appropriate or
necessary by the City Engineer and/or Planning Director.
Both parcels that result from the split must meet the minimum yard
requirements of the applicable zone per MCC 11-9-1.
Applications for re-subdivisions of property will only be considered for
property zoned as commercial and/or industrial. Residentially zoned land is not
eligible. Properties would be limited to a one-time split under these provisions.
Platting requirements for condominium plats may also be considered under
these provisions where the condominium plat only affects ownership and does
not result in additional development of the property.
