VIL Findings
Alternative Compliance(UDC 11-513-5E)
Required Findings:In order to grant approval for an Alternative Compliance application,the Director
shall determine the following:
1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements are not feasible; or
Staff finds that strict adherence or application of the requirements of UDC 11-3H-4D.3b,
which prohibit intermittent breaks in the berm/wall along SH-69, is not feasible due to the
requirement for pathways to be provided for pedestrian connectivity and for block faces to
extend up to 1,000 feet in length.
2. The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the
requirements; and
Staff finds the proposed alternative means of compliance (wrapping the sound wall inward 60
feet along each side of the common lot containing the pathway to shield adjacent building
lots)provides an equal means for meeting the requirements in UDC 11-3H-4D.3b.
3. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the
intended uses and character of surrounding properties.
Staff finds the alternative means of complying with UDC 11-3H-4D.3b will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended uses and character ofsurrounding
properties and will allow for pedestrian access to the multi-use pathway along SH-69 in more
locations other than just at the quarter mile.
