CITY OF MERIDIAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT Pinebridge Sub PP TE (TEC-15-002) Page 2 V. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC) Per UDC 11-6B-7, approval of a preliminary plat shall become null and void if the applicant fails to obtain the City Engineer’s signature on the final plat within two years of the approval of the preliminary plat. Where the development of the preliminary plat is made in successive phases in an orderly and reasonable manner, and conforms substantially to the approved preliminary plat, such segments, if signed by the City Engineer within successive intervals of two years, may be considered for final approval without resubmission for preliminary plat approval. Upon written request and filing by the applicant prior to the termination of the allowed time period, the City Council may authorize a time extension up to two years. With all extensions, the City Council may require the plat to comply with current provisions of the UDC. VI. PROCESS FACTS A. The subject application is for a time extension. A public hearing is required before the City Council on this matter, consistent with Meridian City Code Title 11, Chapter 5. B. Newspaper notifications published on: May 25 and June 8, 2015 C. Radius notices mailed to properties within 300 feet on: May 21, 2015 D. Applicant posted notice on site by: June 5, 2015 VII. HISTORY OF PREVIOUS ACTIONS:  This property received preliminary plat (PP-07-008) approval from City Council on November 7, 2007. The preliminary plat consists of 61 building lots and 21 common/other lots on 170 +/- acres of land.  An 18-month time extension (TE-09-015) on the preliminary plat to obtain the City Engineer’s signature on a final plat was approved by the Director on October 16, 2009. This approval extended the time period in which the applicant had to obtain the City Engineer’s signature until May 7, 2011.  A second time extension (TEC-11-002), for 2 years, on the preliminary plat was approved by City Council on May 3, 2011.

STAFF ANALYSIS This is the fourth time extension requested for the subject preliminary plat. No final plats have been approved by City Council for this site. However, Pine Avenue was widened, the round-a-bout constructed, Webb Avenue constructed, and new public utility and municipal services and infrastructure have been installed, which facilitated the development of the Scentsy Campus and the PKG Campus. Approval of the subject time extension will allow the applicant to proceed with the platting process. If the subject time extension is not granted, the entire property would need to be resubmitted for preliminary plat approval. Per UDC 11-6B-7C, with all extensions, the City Council may require the preliminary plat to comply with current provisions of the UDC. With previous time extension requests, the applicant was required to comply with current design review, street light, and performance and warranty surety CITY OF MERIDIAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT Pinebridge Sub PP TE (TEC-15-002) Page 3 standards. As a provision of the subject time extension request, staff recommends the applicant comply with current Public Works construction standards as noted in Exhibit B and also improve and landscape the planter area in the middle of the round-a-bout in Pine Avenue.
