ANALYSIS OF UDC REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO THE ALTERNATIVE COMPLANCE The applicant has submitted a request for alternative compliance pertaining to the landscape requirements and structure and site design standards as follows: 1) to reduce a portion of the 25-foot wide landscape buffer (northeast corner) along W.Ustick Road to 20 feet. The reduction to the buffer is needed to provide a smooth transition between the 35-foot wide landscape buffer proposed with this development and the 20-foot wide landscape buffer installed with the development to the east and allow the facilitation of the cross access between the church properly and the nursing care facility when the gravel lot develops in the future. 2) to allow most of the new parking area for the site to be located between the building facade and abutting street. Currently, the site is developed with a 9,995 square foot chrsch and associated parking area. The existing parking is located in front of the existing structure. To ensttre a cohesive development theme and adequate site circulation, the applicant has designed the site so the building expansion and the new parking appear as a seamless extension between the new and existing structt[res and parking area. Conditions Document 3 Parkside Christian Church CZC, DES & ALT REVISED Except for the buffer reduction mentioned above, the applicant is proposing to construct a 35- foot wide landscape buffer in lieu of the required 25 foot buffer to allow additional screening of the parking area. Larger planter islands are also proposed at the east end of the existing parking lot and near the main entrance to increase the interior plantings in the parking areas. ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE FINDINGS: In order to grant approval for alternative compliance, the director shall determine the following findings: 1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements is not feasible; OR The Director finds strict adherence to the City's parking and landscaping requirements is not feasible. Per the Meridian Design Manual, a cohesive development and adequate site circulation is desired for the property and the surrounding properties. Reducing the landscape buffer provides a smooth transition between the 35-foot wide landscape buffer proposed with this development and the 20-foot wide landscape buffer installed with the development to the east and allows the facilitation of the cross access between the church property and the nursing care facility. 2. The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the requirements; and The Director finds the proposed alternative compliance provides an equivalent means for meeting the City's parking and landscaping requirements. The wider buffer and the larger planter islands allow an increase in the number plantings which contributes to an attractive streetscape. 3. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended uses and character of the surrounding properties. Staff finds that the proposed alternative will not be detrimental to the public welfare or impair the use/character of the surrounding properties as follows: a. a wider buffer and larger planter islands enhances the streetscape; b. the reduced portion of the buffer allows for future cross access; reducing the need for additional curb cuts to W. Ustick Road and; c. provides a transitional landscape buffer width between this development and the development to the east. CITY COUNCIL REVIEW The applicant or a party of record may request City Council review of a decision of the Director. All requests for review shall be filed in writing with the Planning Department on or before~~;;~4 December 3, 2013, within fifteen (15) days after the written decision is issued, and contain the information listed in UDC 11-SA-6B. If City Council review of the decision is not requested, the action of the Director represents a final decision on a land use application. You have the right to request a regulatory taking analysis under Idaho Code 67-8003.
