Alternative Compliance is also requested to UDC 11-3B-7C.1b which requires a minimum 5- foot wide area to be provided for planting shrubs and trees where a street buffer is encumbered by easements or other restrictions. There is a 20-foot wide public utilities, irrigation, drainage, access and right-of-way easement that exists along the frontage of the site on N. Records Avenue. Due to the site layout and the location of structures, there is not adequate area at the back side of the easement to provide an additional 5-foot for trees; bushes are allowed within the easement. As an alternative, the applicant proposes to plant the 7 trees required in the street buffer in the common mew area instead; and (27) bushes and grass is also proposed within the street buffer. The site is located at 2975 N. Records Avenue. FINDINGS FOR ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE REQUEST TO UDC 11-3A-19.2A: In order to grant approval for alternative compliance, the director shall determine the following findings: 1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements is not feasible; OR Due to the proposed configuration of the site in regard to the location and size of the proposed structures, emergency access and dimensional standards, the Director finds that strict adherence to the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C.1b is not feasible. 2. The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the requirements; and The Director finds the applicant’s alternative means for meeting the requirement of UDC 11-3B-7C.1b as discussed above provides an equal means of compliance. 3. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended uses and character of the surrounding properties. The Director finds that the proposed alternative will not be detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended use/character of the surrounding properties as the required number of trees will still be provided, just in a different location on the site.
