setback. The applicant proposes a Maintenance Access Easement agreement across the <br />affected area of Parcels 1 and 21 which is permitted under EC 9.2751(7). However, EC 9.2751(7) <br />states that, "The easement shall provide a 5-foot-wide access the entire length of the building <br />and 5 feet beyond both ends, and require a 10-foot separation between buildings on separate <br />lots." While the applicant's proposed Access and Maintenance Easement complies with the <br />requirements of EC 9.2751(7), future development on Parcel 2 will be subject to the 10-foot <br />separation between buildings on separate lots. Therefore, to ensure compliance with building <br />separation requirements at the time of future development, the following Condition of <br />Approval is warranted: <br />4. A Maintenance Access Easement Agreement compliant with EC 9.2751(7), which will be <br />subject to City review and approval prior to recording the final plat, shall be cross- <br />referenced on the plat. <br />Based on these findings and Condition of Approval, the existing duplex on Parcel 1 exceeds all <br />minimum setback requirements. Future structures proposed on Parcel 2 will be reviewed for <br />compliance with the setback standards at EC Table 9.2750 at the time of building permit <br />review. <br />Lot Coverage <br />As proposed, Parcel 1 is below the 50% maximum lot coverage standard for R-1 zoned property <br />as listed in EC Table 9.2750. Compliance with the lot coverage standards for future <br />development on the subject property will be confirmed through the building permit process. <br />Based on the available evidence, above findings, Condition of Approval, and future permit <br />requirements, the Partition complies with the applicable standards under EC 9.8215(1)(k). <br />There are no other features explicitly included in the Partition application which would trigger a <br />review of compliance with additional development standards. <br />1) The applicable adopted plan policies beginning at EC 9.9500. <br />The Metro Plan and Bethel Danebo Refinement Plan are the adopted plans applicable to the <br />subject property. There are no specific policies from the plans, as listed at EC 9.9560 and EC <br />9.7700, that would serve as mandatory approval criteria or otherwise generate additional <br />requirements of the proposed Partition. Based on the available information, this criterion is <br />met. <br />EC 9.8215(2): The proposed partition will not create a new nonconforming situation. <br />Based on the available information and the findings at EC 9.8215(1)(k), the proposed Partition <br />will not create a new nonconforming situation. <br />EC 9.8215(3): Partitions abutting collector and arterial streets comply with access <br />management guidelines of the agency having jurisdiction over the street. <br />PT 24-11 The Syrios Trust <br />Findings & Decision of the Planning Director I December 2024 Page 10 of 14
