V. STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed final plat depicts one (1) building lot on 9.05 acres of land in the R-4 and R-8 zoning
districts. Development is required to comply with the dimensional standards of the applicable district
as set forth in UDC Tables 11-2A-5 and 11-2A-6 for the R-4 and R-8 zoning districts respectively.
The proposed final plat consists of two lots that were included in two separate preliminary plat
applications for Bainbridge (PP-13-011) and Volterra North (PP-10-004) Subdivisions.
The common lot for the street buffer along W. Gondola Dr., a collector street, was included in the
Vicenza Subdivision No. 2 final plat and constructed with that development. No landscaping is
required with this application.
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for compliance with the aforementioned dimensional
standards and found the plat to be in compliance with those standards.
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for consistency with the approved preliminary plats and
found there is one (1) fewer building lot than was depicted on the preliminary plats. Because the
number of building lots has decreased, Staff finds the proposed final plat to be in substantial
conformance with the approved preliminary plat per the standards listed in UDC 11-6B-3C.2.
