V. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
Per UDC 11-6B-7, approval of a preliminary plat shall become null and void if the applicant fails to
obtain the City Engineer's signature on the final plat within two years of the approval of the
preliminary plat.
Where the development of the preliminary plat is made in successive phases in an orderly and
reasonable manner, and conforms substantially to the approved preliminary plat, such segments, if
signed by the City Engineer within successive intervals of two years, may be considered for final
approval without resubmission for preliminary plat approval.
Upon written request and filing by the applicant prior to the termination of the allowed time period,
the City Council may authorize a time extension up to two years. With all extensions, the City
Council may require the plat to comply with current provisions of the UDC.
VL PROCESS FACTS
A. The subject application is for a time extension. A public hearing is required before the City
Council on this matter, consistent with Meridian City Code Title 11, Chapter 5.
B. Newspaper notifications published on: September 23, and October 7, 2013
C. Radius notices mailed to properties within 300 feet on: September 18, 2013
D. Applicant posted notice on site by: October 4, 2013
VII. HISTORY OF PREVIOUS ACTIONS:
• A Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment (CPA-07-014), Annexation & Zoning (AZ-07-014), and
preliminary plat (PP-07-019) for Woodland Springs were approved by the City Council on
December 18, 2007. A development agreement (DA) was required with the annexation of the
property (Instrument No. 108022886). The Woodland Springs preliminary plat consists of 4
commercial building lots and 1 common lot on 7.55 acres of land.
• The City Council approved the final plat (FP-08-003) for the first phase on April 1, 2008 and the
City Engineer signed the plat on September 9, 2009. Phase 1 was platted with 3 commercial
building lots and 1 common lot on 4.52 acres. The final plat has been recorded.
• An 18-month time extension (TE-10-006) to obtain the City Engineer's signature on the final plat
for the second phase of development was approved by the Director on March 4, 2010 and expired
on September 9, 2011.
• A 2-year time extension (TEC-11-008) to obtain the City Engineer's signature on the final plat
for the second phase of development was approved by the City Council on October 18, 2011 and
expired on September 9, 2013. The request for the subject time extension was submitted prior to
the expiration date.
VIII. STAFF ANALYSIS
This is the third time extension requested for the subject preliminary plat. Approval of the subject
time extension will allow the applicant to proceed with the platting process for the second and final
phase of development. If the subject time extension is not granted, the preliminary plat would expire
for the remaining 3.03 acre portion of the site that has not been final platted and a new preliminary
plat would be required.
With all extensions, the City Council may require compliance with current provisions of the UDC as
a condition for granting a time extension (UDC 11-6B-7C).
Woodland Springs Sub PP TE (TEC-13-007) Page 2
EXHIBIT A
Because the site is governed by a development agreement that requires compliance with building
elevations, a concept plan, site amenities and compliance with all City of Meridian ordinances in
effect at the time of development, no new conditions of approval were added with the first time
extension.
With the second time extension, a condition of approval was added for the developer to comply with
the recently adopted design standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19 and the design guidelines listed in the
City of Meridian Design Manual.
Since the previous time extension request, the City's standards pertaining to installation of street
lights, performance surety, and warranty surety have changed. As a condition of the subject time
extension request, staff recommends the applicant comply with the updated standards noted in Exhibit
B upon development of the site.
Staff recommends approval of the applicant's request with the aforementioned conditions of approval.
All previous conditions of approval are also still applicable to development of this subdivision.
