ENGINEERS - SURVERYORS -PLANNERS", Properties West, Inc. - Developer, submitted
for preliminary plat approval and which preliminary plat for approval application is herein received
and adjudged by the City Council pursuant to Meridian City Code ~ 12-3-3. Therefore the City
Council makes the following findings:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Amended
Comprehensive Plan by reason of the fact that it lies within the existing Urban Area as
defined in the Meridian Comprehensive Plan Generalized Land Use Map, Infrastructure
Planning Analysis Amended Comprehensive Plan Map, adopted August 6, 2002,
Resolution No. 02-382, and the property is presently zoned L-O, and requires connection
to the Municipal Water and Sewer System. [Meridian City Code ~ 11-7-2 G]
2. The preliminary plat is in conformance with the Amended Comprehensive
Plan City of Meridian adopted August 6, 2002, Resolution No. 02-382. The proposed
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND ORDER
OF CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT

PAGE 2 OF 12
office lots are in compliance with the future land use classification, Office, as noted on
the Future Land Use Map.
3. Sewer is already provided to the site via an existing 8" main in N.
Stokesberry Place and an additional sewer main will be required internally within the
proposed drive aisle locations. Water is also available in Stokesberry Place. The primary
public costs to serve the future residents will be fire, police and school facilities and
services. It is found that there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost
and that the project will not be detrimental to the community's welfare.
4. It is found that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital
improvement plan. Because the developer has previously installed sewer, water, local
street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation, the subdivision will not require the
expenditure of capital improvement funds. All extensions of such services required by
this re-plat will also be funded by the developer.
5. It is found that the development will not require major expenditures for
providing supporting services. Referring back to numbers 3 and 4 above will also
provide additional information.
6. It is found that there should not be any other health, safety or
environmental problems associated with this subdivision that should be brought to
attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis; no hazardous natural
features have been identified on the site.
