Commission approves replat of University Place lots to enable future sales and development

The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a replat Aug. 6 that divides certain lots in University Place — specifically Lots 10 through 12 and the south half of Lot 13 in Block 6 — permitting future parcel sales or development. Mister Brooks, planning staff, described the replat as a fast-track item intended to allow properties to be split for construction and to require rated walls to ensure fire separation.

Brooks said the replat establishes required rated walls through the lots and allows the properties to be potentially sold or developed consistent with building separation requirements: "This does allow it to potentially be sold ... So they'll also have to do the the rating all the way up through the attic as well."

There were no public comments. Commissioner Eichert moved approval; Commissioner Mattson seconded and the commission voted unanimously.

The replat is administrative in nature and establishes lot configuration and building separation standards; staff will proceed with recording the plat and ensuring the building code separation details are met at permit stage.
