Posted to Next Door 4/112022
IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed short plat will split an existing commercial lot in the Knighthill Center Subdivision into
two (2) commercial building lots for ownership purposes. The proposed lots are internal to the overall
Knighthill Subdivision and therefore have no public road frontage; furthermore,the adjacent public
roads(Chinden and Linder)are constructed at their anticipated widths. Access to the subject lots
would be from existing drive aisles on each side of the existing site. Future commercial building sites
will be reviewed through the CZC and DES application process for code compliance against
development regulations(i.e.pedestrian connectivity,parking,parking lot landscaping, etc.). There is
an existing cross-parking and cross-access agreement for the Knighthill Subdivision which these
subject sites should also be bound by—staff has included a condition of approval consistent with this.
The submitted landscape plans reference the original subdivision landscaping which includes the
buffer along the southern boundary—this buffer landscaping adjacent to this site only has not been
completed because this lot has yet to be developed. Despite this landscape buffer being previously
required to be constructed,there is no commercial development along this area of the plat so Staff
finds it acceptable to maintain that until such time the lot closest to this buffer develops. Staff has
included the previously approved landscape plan for reference and has proposed a condition of
approval noting the expected timeline of construction for this landscape buffer.
Staff has reviewed the proposed short plat for substantial compliance with the criteria set forth in
UDC 11-6B-5A.2 and the required zoning regulations of the C-G zoning district and deems the short
plat to be in substantial compliance with said requirements.
V. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed short plat with the conditions noted in Section VII of this
report and in accord with the findings in Section VIII.
