HomeMy WebLinkAbout3-13-07 Staff Summary Project: Sparrowhawk RECEIVED MAR 1 3 2007 City of Meridian City Clerk Office Location: northeast comer of Locust Grove Road and Franklin Road Application: DA modification Highlights of Proposed Development: In 2004, City Council granted preliminary plat approval for an eleven buildable-lot subdivision on 15.8 acres. This preliminary plat was called Sparrowhawk Subdivision No.2. Concurrent with said application was a request to modify the previously approved conceptual Planned Development to allow 43,070 square-feet of office space, 33,912 square-feet of commercial space, 6,000 square-feet of retail/service space, and 25,125 square-feet of self-storage space on said 11 building lots. The Applicant now requests modification to the recorded DA for Sparrowhawk Subdivision Nos. I & 2 to remove the obligation for future uses on all lots within the Sparrowhawk development from obtaining detailed Conditional Use Permit approval. The Applicant has provided elevations and an artist's rendering for the building to be constructed Lot 8, but not for the all lots. We know that Council is generally reluctant to waive the CU requirement until they have some idea of the architectural appearance of the structures. Staffhas proposed using the architectural and site design standards in the UDC. If the Applicant agrees to submit a Design Review application for the proposed buildings, which comply with UDC II-3A- 19 and are compatible with the construction style and quality on the neighboring properties, Staff believes that detailed CUPs for this development should not be required. Further, due to the proposed storage units being located on the northern most portion of this property, and there being UDC specific use standards that must be complied with for that specific use, Staff believes that storage units should be exempt from the City's Design Review process.
