Home My WebLink AboutA001 - Council Action Form dated March 26, 2019r ITEM # 38 DATE: 03-26-19 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 100 & 108 6" STREET AND 515 DUFF AVENUE BACKGROUND: The City's subdivision regulations found in Chapter 23 of the Ames Municipal Code include the process for creating or modifying property boundaries and for determining if any improvements are required in conjunction with the platting of property. The regulations also describe the process for combining existing platted lots or conveyance parcels in order to create a parcel for development purposes. A plat of survey is allowed by Section 23.309 for the consolidation of conveyance parcels and for boundary line adjustments. This proposed plat of survey is for a boundary line adjustment of existing parcels addressed as 100 & 108 6T" Street and 515 Duff Avenue to create one parcel. The proposed change results in one new parcel. labeled as Parcel H. The use for the proposed parcel is planned to be commercial. The site was reviewed to ensure that proposed lot dimensions complied with requirements found in the zone development standards of the Downtown Service Center Zone (DSC) The consolidation to create Parcel H is being done in conjunction with a proposed expansion of an office building located at the corner 100 61' Street and Duff. The Zoning Board of Adjustment has approved an Exception to the minimum height and required floor area ratio (FAR) at this location for the office building expansion. The parcel consolidation would otherwise not be able to be approved without meeting the minimum 1 .0 FAR requirement of DSC. The proposed office building expansion on the proposed Parcel H meets the .50 FAR standard of the approved exception. A Minor Site Development Plan is under review by staff for the proposed office building expansion in relation to the approved exception and this plat of survey. There is currently a vacant apartment building located at 515 Duff Avenue. Typically, two buildings of different uses are no allowed on single lot as a zoning standard. However, the apartment building is planned to be demolished and is current uninhabitable with disconnected utilities. Due to the condition of the building, it is not usable as a residential building and does not conflict with the zoning standard relating to different uses on the same lot. Approval of this plat of survey (Attachment B) will allow the applicant to prepare the official plat of survey and submit it to the Planning and Housing Director for review. The Director will sign the plat of survey confirming that it fully conforms to all conditions of approval. The prepared plat of survey may then be signed by the surveyor, who will submit it for recording in the office of the County Recorder. ALTERNATIVES: 1 . The City Council can adopt the resolution approving the proposed plat of survey. 2. The City Council can deny the proposed plat of survey if the City Council finds that the requirements for plats of survey as described in Section 23.309 have not been satisfied. 3. The City Council can refer this back to staff and/or the owner for additional information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff has determined that the proposed plat of survey satisfies all Subdivision Code requirements for a boundary line adjustment of existing parcels and has made a preliminary decision of approval. The resulting parcel is designed to be conforming to underlying design standards and building setbacks of DSC zoning. The boundary line adjustment does not trigger infrastructure requirements unless there is a gap in completion of existing infrastructure. Sidewalks are currently in place along all street frontages of the proposed new parcel. No other infrastructure is required at this location. Approval and recording of the Plat of Survey will also preclude the use of the property with a residential use and a commercial use. use of the site will be restricted to a commercial use by current zoning standards. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council accept Alternative #1, thereby adopting the resolution approving the proposed plat of survey.
