IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
The short plat proposes to subdivide Lot 4, Block 1, Medina Subdivision, consisting of 1.38 acres of
land, into two (2) building lots in the C-G zoning district. The Short Plat is consistent with the
Commercial Future Land Use Map designation for this site.
The property is currently under construction for the installation of the approved Conditional use
Permit and certificate of zoning compliance and design review for a Chipotle restaurant and a two-
tenant building with the first tenant as a medical doctor’s office.
Staff has reviewed the proposed short plat for compliance with the criteria set forth in UDC 11-6B-5
and deems the short plat in compliance with said requirements.
Access to this property is provided via an existing access point from S. Meridian Rd and W. Overland
Rd. The Fire Department has approved the design of the proposed drive aisles for the short plat. The
street buffer adjacent to the eastern boundary of the site along S. Meridian Rd. was constructed with
the subdivision improvements for Medina Subdivision. There is existing landscaping (i.e. trees and
lawn) along the street frontage that complies with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7.
Future development of the proposed lots should comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC
Table 11-2B-3 for the C-G zoning district.
