Planning staff tabled LSIP2025‑07, a large site improvement plan for about 17.29 acres northeast of West Van Ash Drive, after identifying multiple zoning and technical items that must be resolved before the city can forward the project.

Donna told the meeting the application fees were paid, but that some notification letters were incomplete and the submittal omitted nonresidential square‑foot numbers in the density/intensity section. More importantly, the layout includes drive aisles and parking in urban form build‑to zones and other locations that will require planning commission variances and potentially Board of Adjustment review. "In urban form districts, there's not supposed to be parking spaces or drive aisles in front of the building," Donna said, and she asked the applicant to prepare clear variance applications explaining why the standards cannot be met.

Engineering reiterated that additional delineation is needed between what will be completed with the preliminary plat and what is part of the LSIP, and repeated comments about sewer capacity and utility easements. Engineering also suggested relocating a transit stop and providing a 26‑foot shelter pad at a different drive location, verifying water‑main easements for dedication if needed, ensuring sufficient easement widths for utilities, and providing drainage calculations confirming the hydrodynamic separator and detention design.

Urban Forestry and Fire raised similar preservation, tree‑placement and access concerns as on the associated preliminary plat; Forestry asked that tree preservation easements be shown and tree canopy on Lot 12 be mapped. Fire asked that Fire Department Connection (FDC) locations be accessible and visible and requested no‑parking signage and curb painting where needed.

Donna and engineering staff said large redesign could be necessary if variances are denied, and instructed the applicant — represented by Ashley Colson — to submit planning commission variance and Board of Adjustment applications separately through the portal. Staff noted LSIPs themselves are administratively reviewed and do not go to planning commission, but variances identified would go to the appropriate bodies. The LSIP remains tabled pending submission of variance applications and resolution of the technical comments.
