Land Use Authority approves multiple plats and preliminary plats; one item tabled
Summary
The Washington City Land Use Authority approved four subdivision/plat items and tabled one zone-change continuation, with conditions on engineering and an added requirement to establish a service easement on one riverfront preliminary plat before final approval.
At its combined meeting, the Washington City Land Use Authority approved a slate of plats and preliminary-plats and tabled one pending application.
Buena Vista Commercial Plaza minor subdivision (approx. 350 West Buena Vista Boulevard): Staff said the applicant requested to split a roughly 10.23-acre parcel into seven commercial lots. The planning staff recommended approval and the Land Use Authority voted to approve the final plat subject to the findings and conditions in the staff report. Commissioner Davis made the motion and Commissioner Tupelo seconded; roll-call voting recorded unanimous approval.
Standing Rock West, Phases 3–5 preliminary plat (Long Valley Road and Riggs Loop Drive): Staff reported the proposal for 181 single-family lots on roughly 69.19 acres in a PCD zone and recommended conditional approval. No public comments were recorded; the Land Use Authority approved the preliminary plat with the staff conditions.
Vineyard at Alaya preliminary plat amendment (Washington Fields Road and Red Slopes Parkway): Staff said the original approval allowed 173 units; the amended preliminary plat proposes 200 units (105 single-family homes and 95 townhomes) on approximately 31.42 acres. Staff indicated the overall density remained below the zoning allowance. The Land Use Authority approved the amended preliminary plat per staff findings and conditions.
Stillwater Subdivision preliminary plat (172 East Nelson Ranch Road): The applicant proposed 87 single-family lots on 35.42 acres with 23.99 acres proposed as PUDR and 11.43 acres as open space, and included river-trail amenities and two pickleball courts. Staff recommended approval with standard engineering and subdivision conditions; commissioners and staff discussed floodplain hazard lines, trail dedication to the city and the need for a maintenance/service easement along riprap protection. The Land Use Authority approved the Stillwater preliminary plat and added a condition that a service easement be established along the erosion protection adjacent to Open Space 3 before final plat approval; that easement’s precise dimensions will be worked out with city engineering prior to final plat.
Zone change Z-25-17 (990 East George Washington Boulevard): The authority continued the applicant’s request from R-1-10 to a PUDR designation to the August 6 planning commission meeting at the applicant’s request because the applicant had not yet provided needed materials.
All approved items will be processed per the findings and conditions described in staff reports; final plats and engineering permits will include additional technical review and, where required, notice to affected property owners.
