PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Applicant proposes a Short Plat to create two (2) buildable lots on approximately 18.96 acres in the I -L zoning district. The applicant is also requesting alternative compliance per UDC 11-5B-5 to defer the landscape buffer improvements required by UDC 11-3B-7 along E. Central Dr. until the Lot 1, Block 1 develops. II. APPLICANT INFORMATION A. Applicant: West Ada School District —1303 E. Central Drive, ID 83642 B. Owner: Same as applicant C. Representative: Keller Associates, Inc. — 131 SW 5 1 Avenue, Meridian, ID 83642 Page 1 III. NOTICING Legal notice published in newspaper Radius notice mailed to properties within 300 feet IV. STAFF ANALYSIS City Council Posting Date 4/5/2019 4/3/2019 The proposed short plat creates two (2) building lots on 18.96 acres in the I -L zoning district. The applicant has met with staff to discuss developing Lot 2, Block I as a parking facility for the Idaho State University campus. Lot 1, Block 1 is proposed to be a future school for the West Ada School District. Currently, the proposed Lot 1, Block 1 is developed with a parking lot and athletic fields. A portion of the existing landscape buffer adjacent to E. Central Drive (approximately 8') doesn't meet the 20 - foot requirements of UDC Table 11-2C-3 or landscaped in accord with UDC 11 -3B -7C. Further, approximately 225 feet is not landscaped at all. UDC 11-1A-1, the subdivision of the property constitutes development and therefore requires a dedicated 20 -foot wide landscape buffer along the entire street frontage. Because development is not proposed for Lot 1, Block 1 at this time, the applicant has submitted an alternative compliance request to defer the installation of the required 20 - foot wide landscape buffer on Lot 1, Block 1 until future development. The director is amenable to allowing the existing landscaping to suffice for the landscape requirement until further development however, the other 225 feet of frontage that currently is undeveloped must conform to UDC standards. The remainder of the non -conforming buffer (area in front of the parking lot) will need to meet UDC standards with future development of Lot 1, Block 1. In reviewing ACHD's comments the applicant is not required to do any further improvements to the adjacent street. However, a new curb cut is proposed at the eastern boundary which will facilitate the closure of the existing access directly to the east of the proposed one. ACHD has indicated review of the new access will be reviewed with a future development application (CZC for the new parking lot). The accesses that serve the existing parking lot will also be evaluated with future development of Lot 1, Block 1 in accord with UDC 11-3A-3. Because the applicant is closing an existing access to the east and providing cross access to facilitate better site circulation for the abutting property to the east, staff is supportive of the new access as proposed by the applicant. Staff has reviewed the proposed short plat for substantial compliance with the criteria set forth in UDC 11-6B-5 and deems the short plat to be in substantial compliance with said requirements. Staff has reviewed the requested alternative compliance proposal and has determined that it meets the criteria for approval per UDC -513-5.

REQUIRED FINDINGS FROM THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE In consideration of a short plat, the decision-making body shall make the following findings: A. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with the Unified Development Code; The Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use of this property as Commercial. The current zoning district of the site is I -L. The proposed short plat complies with the Comprehensive Plan and is developed in accord with UDC standards. B. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to accommodate the proposed development; Staff finds that public services are adequate to serve the site. C. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the City's capital improvements program; Staff finds that the development will not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds. All required utilities are being provided with the development of the property at the developer's expense. D. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for providing supporting services. The developer and/or future lot owner(s) will finance the extension of sewer, water, utilities and pressurized irrigation to serve the project. E. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare; and Staff finds the proposed short plat will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare. F. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features. Staff is not aware of any significant natural, scenic or historic features associated with the development of this site. In order to grant approval for alternative compliance, the director shall determine the following findings: A. Strict adherence or application of the requirements is not feasible; OR Strict adherence to the application of the requirements is feasible due to an existing parking lot that serves the proposed athletic field. However, the undeveloped portion, approximately 225 feet, east of the parking lot, can be improved and landscaped in accord with UDC standards (UDC Table 11-2C-3 and UDC 11-3B-7). B. The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the requirements; and Page 8 The applicant has proposed to develop the lot along E. Central Dr. with the construction of the proposed school facility in the future. At the time of development, the existing landscaping that is currently along the E. Central frontage lot shall be landscaped to meet the full requirements of UDC Table 11-2C-3 and UDC 11-3B-7. Therefore, the Director finds the applicants proposed alternative compliance does provide equal or superior means to meet these requirements. C. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended uses and character of the surrounding properties. The Director finds that the proposed alternatives will not be detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended use/character of the surrounding properties. Page 9
