IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed short plat depicts subdivision of air space within a vertically integrated building that is
currently under construction to create 71 separate condominium units (69 residential and 2
commercial) for future ownership purposes.
According to the Applicant,there is no intention of utilizing these units as a for-sale product but is
proposing to condo-map the two Old Town Loft buildings in order to respond to any market changes
in the future.No piece of the development is structurally changing and nor are any revisions proposed
to parking, amenities, or open spaces; all of the project elements are remaining as previously
approved. The subject site obtained CZC and DES approval for a vertically integrated structure in
2019(A-2019-0033; Building`B")and that building is currently under construction with a number of
building permits.
Due to the City's and Meridian Development Corporation's(MDC)involvement in the sale of the
subject property, Staff recommended the Applicant obtain a letter from MDC outlining their
understanding of the proposed short plat and confirm the proposal still complies with the joint
agreement. In response,the Applicant took this proposal to the MDC board and the board voted on
April 28,2021 to amend the existing agreement and include a new provision that the units be utilized
as rental units for a period of at least 5 years following construction completion. Therefore, Staff
finds this proposal to be compliant with the joint agreement between the City of Meridian,Meridian
Development Corp., and the property owners.
Staff has reviewed the proposed short plat for substantial compliance with the criteria set forth in
UDC 11-6B-5A.2 and deems the short plat to be in compliance with said requirements.
