NOTICING City Council Posting Date Legal notice published in newspaper 9/18/2022 Radius notice mailed to property owners within 500 feet 9/15/2022 Page 1 Posted to Next Door 9/15/2022 IV. STAFF ANALYSIS The proposed short plat will split an existing commercial lot in the Linder Village(Orchard Park) Subdivision into four(4)commercial building lots for ownership purposes. The existing lot is within the center of the overall Linder Village Subdivision and has public road frontage along W. Orchard Park Drive, a local street,that bisects the Linder Village project and is constructed at their full anticipated width. In addition,the subject short plat includes two drive aisles that are the project's main connections to W. Chinden. Directly to the west of the subject site is the Linder Village WinCo site and the existing lot has two approved Certificate of Zoning Compliance(CZC) and Design Review(DES) approvals—one for the Linder Village Library(A-2020-0177) and one for the adjacent"Market West Building"(A-2021-0211)north of the library that includes a shared plaza for the overall development. These existing approvals will be on Lots 2 &3,Block 1 on the submitted short plat.Any future commercial buildings located on the proposed lots will require CZC and DES approval prior to building permit submittal to ensure compliance with development regulations(i.e. previous approvals,pedestrian connectivity,parking,parking lot landscaping, etc.). Access to the property is through existing drive aisles that connect to both Orchard Park Drive and Chinden Blvd. The noted drive aisles also connect throughout the development and no changes are proposed to the circulation element of the overall project with this application.The Applicant has submitted a concept plan depicting the existing approvals on the property and a conceptual site plan for the remaining lots; Staff has included this in Exhibit VI.B below for informational purposes and to show the buildings in relation to the proposed lot lines. There is an existing cross-parking and cross-access agreement for the overall 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 Orchard Park Drive buffer along the south boundary—this buffer is existing and vegetated adjacent to this site. Any additional landscaping required with future development will be reviewed with future administrative applications(i.e.parking lot landscaping). 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-C zoning district and deems the short plat to be in substantial compliance with said requirements. V. DECISION 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. B. The Meridian City Council heard these items on October 4,2022.At the public hearing,the Council moved to approve the subject Short Plat request. 1. Summary of the City Council public hearing: a.
