IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
In November of 2021,the City Council approved the annexation of 3.5 acres of unplatted property
with the I-L zoning district. The purpose of this annexation was for the construction of a 67,000 sq. ft.
warehouse as an expansion of the existing Intermountain Wood Products business at 300 and 330 S.
Adkins Way(directly to the west).
The existing Intermountain Wood Products buildings are within the Medimont Subdivision
Development Agreement,which was approved in 1997 (Inst. 97072405). Provision 4d requires a
permanent 20-foot-wide landscaped planting strip along the east boundary landscaped with 6-8-foot-
high scotch pines at a maximum distance of 15 ft. each. This was to provide a screen for the adjacent
residential properties. The landscape buffer was platted into Common Lot 2,Block 2 of the Medimont
Subdivision No I and is owned and maintained by the Stonebridge Owners Association.
In February of 2021,the portion of the common lot between the existing business and the parcels that
were to be annexed were deeded to the applicant,and the applicant removed all the required trees
within this area in anticipation of the expansion. After being informed this was not in compliance
with the approved DA,the applicant requested a modification to the development agreement to allow
the merging of this portion of the landscape buffer into the warehouse property. The Council
approved the DA Mod with a condition of approval that required replacement of the trees that were
removed as part of the subsequent warehouse CZC. A short plat to complete this merger was a
condition of approval of the annexation. This will result in one buildable lot, and two remaining
portions of the common lot still owned by the Stonebridge Owners Association for a buffer west
between the remaining properties. The Certificate of Zoning Compliance was recently completed
(CZC A-2022-0040) and an updated landscape plan was addressed as part of the CZC. y
Staff has reviewed the requested short plat proposal and has determined that it meets the criteria for
approval per UDC 11-6B-5.

Staff recommends approval of the proposed short plat with the conditions noted in Section VII of
