FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER

PAGE 6 OF 18
single-family residential, and multi-family residential uses. All future commercial uses are required
to go through a detailed conditional use process for approval. The project site is 5.96 acres and sits
on portions of Lots 4 and 5, Block 1 of Touchmark Living Center Subdivision, and closely matches
the approved conceptual site plan recently approved through CUP-03-005.
If approved, this would be the first commercial/office building constructed in the Meadow
Lake Village project. To date, all construction has been residential and supporting amenities, such as
the golf course. The proposed building includes 5 stories of habitable office space, a penthouse for
mechanical equipment, and a small basement for utility services. The project was submitted as a
planned development to request approval to exceed the maximum building height in the L-Ozone.
The proposed maximum height is 85 feet, which also conesponds to the maximum height allowed by
the International Building Code for the type of construction proposed. The maximum building
height for the L-O zone is 35 feet.
It is found that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the requested use and all
other required features. Of the 98,000 total square feet of the structure, 77,000 square feet is intended
for examination, treating room, office, and waiting room areas. Atone parking space per 200 square
feet, 385 parking spaces would be required; the site plan proposes 400 spaces-7 of which are
handicap accessible and 1 van accessible space. Thus, they exceed the minimum by 15 spaces. All
landscape buffers and internal landscape islands meet or exceed ordinance requirements.
14. The current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as "Mixed
Use Community." It is found that the proposed medical office uses are harmonious with and in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. The overall project was approved as a conditional use for
a planned development in order to allow reduced setbacks and multiple buildings on a single lot. The
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 7 OF 18
current proposal is also a planned development to allow for the proposed building to exceed height
limits. Ifthe project is approved as a Planned Development, it will meet the minimum requirements
of the MCC.
This proposal is in compliance with the mixed use policies in Chapter 7 (pp. 97-98). The
purpose of the mixed use designation in the Comprehensive Plan "is to identify key azeas which are
either infill in nature or situated in highly visible or transitioning areas of the city where innovative
and flexible design opportunities are encouraged. The intent of this designation is to offer the
developer a greater degree of design and use flexibility." The flexibility requested through the PD
application is in harmony with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan designation.
15. It is found that the proposed medical clinic will not adversely change the existing
(mixed use) or intended (mixed use) character ofthe general vicinity. The existing surrounding uses
include St. Luke's Hospital to the south and Montvue Subdivision to the west. Montvue Subdivision
is intended to go commercial in the future upon annexation and recently had one lot annexed and
zoned L-O for a medical office building. Other commercial/office azeas of the Meadow Lake
Village project surround the subject site on the north and east.
16. It is not anticipated that the proposed use as a medical office building will adversely affect
adjacent properties due to the similar uses on the St. Luke's site to the south and the recent approval
of a medical office building in Montvue Subdivision.
17. It is found that the proposed development can be adequately served by the essential
public facilities and services. City water & sewer services have been constructed within the Meadow
Lake Village project and are stubbed to this lot. A trash enclosure has been provided on-site for
refuse disposal.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDTTIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 8 OF 18
18. It is found that the proposed medical office use will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community, nor would it create the need for any new facilities or services to
be paid for by the public. All required improvements, including landscaping, paving, parking,
installation of services and roads, etc. will be paid for by the developer. The primary public costs to
serve the project will be for fire and police services.
19. It is found that no excessive traffic, smoke, fumes, glare or odors should result from
the proposed medical office use. ACHD approved the project on Apri18, 2003 at staff level. It did
not require ACHD Commission action due to the fact that the Commission has approved the
conceptual plan and the vehicle trips that are anticipated to be generated by this development.
20. It is found that the proposed use will not create significant interference with any
traffic on the surrounding public streets. Refer to ACHD comments for additional detail on this
finding. As noted above, ACHD approved the project on April 8, 2003.
21. It is not found that any natural or scenic feature will be lost, damaged or destroyed by
issuance of this conditional use. Existing trees greater than 4"caliper must be retained or mitigated
for, if removed.
