Case No. 17 00219 Page 1
SUBJECT: Final Plat - File #19-00094
APPLICANT: Founders Square LLC
PROPERTY OWNER(S): Founders Square LLC
PURPOSE: The request is to consider a Final Plat
PROPERTY LOCATION: Founders Square Subdivision
APPLICABLE CRITERIA: City of Rexburg Development Code (Ordinance No.1115)
§ 6.13 Amendments to this Ordinance
AUTHORITY: § 6.13 (E) “The Commission may recommend that the amendment be
granted as requested, that it be modified, or that it be denied”
I. BACKGROUND
The subject property is part of a Planned Unit Development and as such must comply with the Founders
Square Subdivision Masterplan.
II. ANALYSIS
A Planned Unit Development allows the Final Plat to skip Planning and Zoning if there are no changes from
the Masterplan and to go directly to the City Council regarding whether or not the plat meets the requirements
of the Subdivision Ordinance Chapter 12 of the Development Code Section 1.2. The Masterplan is the same
so Planning and Zoning has been by-passed. Below, staff has provided all the criteria listed by Ordinance No.
1115 (Development Code) that are required to be addressed, followed by staff’s analysis of each criterion.
Criteria Subdivision Plat Requests:
1. Harmonious development of the area.
The lots are the same as identified on the Masterplan. The owner wants to put twin homes on twelve of
the lots. This would not increase the density of the project and the Planned Unit Development sections
encourages “clustering” of units.
2. Coordination of streets and roads within the subdivision with other existing or planned streets and
roads.
The roads were identified on the Master Plan.
3. Adequate open space for travel, light, air and recreation.
As part of a PUD the open space and recreation amenities were outlined with the Master Plan. This
division is keeping in harmony with the PUD.
4. Conservation of or provisions for adequate transportation, water drainage and
