HomeMy WebLinkAboutMemo from PlanningRequested Changes to the Agenda: None Items 11 and 12 Project: Overland Village ~,~,..r ,,. ~~ Location: the northeast corner of E. Overland Road and S. Eagle Road ~ ~ ~, 200 ~iiy~~'~~~_~ Applications: annexation and zoning and vacation ~'~' ~? ~ Highlights of Proposed Development: annexation and zoning of 9.06 acres to C-G zoning. Approval of the commercial zoning would allow the property to develop with retail, office and restaurant uses in the future. The Applicant has not submitted a subdivision application at this time but intends do so at a later date. However, the Applicant has submitted a concept plan for how the subject property may develop, and elevations for what the future buildings will look like. Staff has reviewed both the concept plan and the elevations and recommends a DA. The Commission heard the AZ request on February 21, March 20, May 1 & 15, and June 5, 2008. At the public hearing on June Sd', they moved to recommend approval of the AZ request. Items of discussion by the Commission were as follows: 1) The necessity of a bridge across the Eight Mile Creek to provide connectivity to/from the parcel to the east; 2) The disproportionate share of the cost of a bridge for the subject property in comparison to larger adjacent properties; and 3) The possibility of putting a sunset clause on the road trust for the cost of constructing a bridge across the Eight Mile Creek in the event the property to the east doesn't develop within a certain time period. The Commission recommended that Development Agreement provision #c be modified to allow buildings up to 4 stories in height (instead of 3), up to 65 feet with the caveat that Council may want to see revised building elevations (only 1-story elevations were shown on the elevations submitted). Council Issues & Decision: This project was heard by the City Council on September 2nd. At that meeting, the Council voted to deny the AZ request based on insufficient emergency access to the site, the necessity of a bridge connection across the 8 Mile Creek, potential flood hazard from the 8 Mile Creek, and timing of development of this site in relation to adjacent sites. Until remedies to these issues can be addressed, the Council did not believe it was prudent to annex the site. The VAC request was subsequently denied because the City doesn't have jurisdiction if the AZ is denied. Reconsideration: The applicant submitted a request for reconsideration, which was approved by Council on September 23~d, based on the applicant's proposal to provide an alternative means of emergency access to the site and willingness to contribute a proportionate share toward a connection to Silverstone Way. Since the last meeting, the applicant has submitted a revised site plan, which shows a reconfiguration of the center building footprint (the rest of the site has not changed), and a conceptual development plan for the surrounding area demonstrating how access could eventually be provided to the subject property via Silverstone Way. Revised building elevations were not submitted to coincide with the revised building footprint shown on the site plan. 12/2/2008 ACHD submitted a letter to Joe Silva, Deputy Fire Chief, dated November 11~', regarding the restricted Rackham Way access onto Overland Road. ACHD condition of approval #4 requires the applicant to, "Pay a road trust deposit sufficient to cover the cost of installing a 6-inch raised median to restrict the realigned Rackham Way to right-in/right-out in the future. Rackham Way will be restricted to right-in/right-out either on a determination by ACHD staff of a substantial safety issue, or on the provision of a connection from Rackham Way to a signalized intersection to the east, whichever occurs first." The letter also states that, "In order to ensure adequate emergency response to this area, ACHD staff will coordinate with the Meridian Fire Department to ensure that any access restriction devices to be installed at the Overland/Rackham intersection will allow for emergency vehicles to turn left onto Rackham from Overland until a public connection across the Eight Mile Creek is achieved." If the Council votes to approve the project then a DA should be required to include, at minimum, the following: Sta f s recommended changes in red bold/underline/strikeout a.
