Options and Alternatives:
- Approve the Final Plat with no conditions as recommended by staff.
- Approve the Final Plat with conditions.
- Deny the Final Plat based on non-compliance with the Zoning Code, the Subdivision Code, and/or the Engineering Design Standards and Specification for New Infrastructure.
Background and History:
In March 2022, the City Council approved a rezoning of the eastern portion of the subject property to support the development of a 139-unit multifamily residential development. This subdivision plat proposes to split the existing 19.26 acre parcel along the new zoning boundaries. This will allow the multifamily development to move forward and allow the property owner to pursue development options on the western portion of the site. The subdivision plat will also provide the required right-of-way and public utility easements necessary to support future development.
Key Considerations:
The proposed subdivision consists of two lots and new right-of-way.
Expanded Options and Alternatives:
Inform. The existing zoning of the property allows for the proposed subdivision. No public hearings or public outreach are required by either the Zoning Code or the Subdivision Code as part of the Final Plat review process.
