B. Section 4.11(E)(2)(3)(4) — Walkways, Trails and Paths; Building Design;
Site Design
All of these standards relate to land development and building construction.
These standards are intended to ensure that new development minimizes the
impacts upon the scenic, cultural, natural and historic values of the river
landscape. Since the request is for a subdivision plat only, and the construction
of the maintenance building will be reviewed by the Building Permit Review
Process, these standards do not apply.
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
A. The Boxelder Sanitation District Treatment Plant Subdivision is subject to
administrative review and the requirements of the Land Use Code (LUC).
B. The Boxelder Sanitation District Treatment Plant Subdivision satisfies the
development standards of the RC zoning district.
C. The Boxelder Sanitation District Treatment Plant Subdivision complies with all
applicable General Development Standards contained in Article 3 of the Land
Use Code.
DECISION
The Boxelder Sanitation District Treatment Plant Subdivision #23-02, is hereby
approved by the Hearing Officer without condition.
