Outstanding Issue(s) for Commission: Staff spoke with the applicant prior to the hearing and he would like to discuss the following items: • Condition of approval #l.l.a, requires the existing sidewalk along Fairview to be widened to 10' or a new 10' wide multi-use pathway constructed within the street buffer in accord with the Pathways Plan & UDC 11-3A-8. The Master Pathways Plan depicts a segment of the City's multi-use pathway system along the Fairview frontage of this property. When the subdivision improvements for this development were originally approved & installed, the Master Pathways Plan had not yet been adopted. Because new development is proposed, the current provisions in UDC 11-3A-8, Pathways, apply to development of this property. • Condition of approval #1.1.b, requires a total of 4 trees to be added at the south ends of rows of parking in accord with UDC 11-3B-8Cd. Code requires each interior planter that serves a single row of parking spaces to be landscaped with at least 1 tree & vegetative groundcover. The applicant may apply for Alternative Compliance to this requirement and demonstrate how the alternative means for compliance meets the requirements' intended purpose. ~~ tl~re,~~~~sd~ss ~ approval be :1 One or the required street buffer trees along Fairview has been cut down; Staff recommends the Commission add a condition of approval that it be replaced with development of this property.
