SUBJECT: SHP-13-001 -Storey Park Short Plat
I. APPLICATION SUMMARY
The applicant, City of Meridian Parks and Recreation Department, has applied for short plat approval of
four (4) buildable lots on 18.81 acres of land in a C-G zoning district. Currently, the site is developed as a
public park. Ancillary uses include the Chamber of Commerce, City well and overflow parking for the
speedway.
The applicant is proposing to plat the property to accomplish the following:
1) Clean-up the discrepancy with the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). Since the
Chamber exists on the property and is not deemed an outdoor recreation a separate parcel must be
created (Lot 1). Further, an additional lot needs to be created to ensure the acquisition of the
Park's property meets the guidelines of the grant (Lot 2);
2) create the well lot (Lot 4) for Public Works and;
3) create a lot (Lot 3) for a possible land exchange between the City and the Meridian Speedway.
All of the proposed lots conform to the C-G zoning district.
The subject property is located on the southeast corner of S. Main Street and E. Franklin Road in the
northwest'/a of Section 18, T.3N., R.lE.
II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff finds the proposed plat is eligible to be processed as a short plat based on the following criteria:
1) the parcel is an original parcel of record;
2) the property is not part of a previous short plat;
3) the proposed plat does not exceed four (4) lots;
4) no new street dedication is required and:
5) there are no impacts to health, safety of general welfare and the proposed subdivision is in the best
interest of the city.
Based on the aforementioned criteria, Staff recommends approval of the Storey Park Short Plat with the
conditions and Findings stated in this report.
