Development Issues Meeting Process
The purpose of a Development Issues Meeting is to give an applicant the opportunity to discuss
his/her development proposal with the development review staff of the City. The discussion can
be general or specific, depending on the details provided with the application. A Development
Issues Meeting provides information to an applicant related to the current development
conditions and standards of the City. The Development Issues Meeting is not a land use decision
and does not confer any development rights, establish any conditions, or bind the applicant or
the City to any course of action. The meeting conveys the status of known development
opportunities and constraints. The status may change over time as development conditions or
standards change.
1. Applicant Submits a Development Issues Meeting Application
The application must conform to the Development Issues Meeting Submittal
Requirements Checklist on page 3 of this application packet.
Development issues meetings are conducted every Thursday.
We strive to conduct the development issues meetings within three to four weeks of
receiving the application.
The applicant’s proposal is circulated to the relevant staff in preparation for the
meeting.
2. Applicant and the City Conduct the Development Issues Meeting
The applicant and any design team should attend the development issues meeting.
The meeting is scheduled for one hour.
Staff attending the meeting will be prepared to discuss the issues raised in the
submittal by the applicant. Other issues raised during the meeting may also be
discussed.
The meeting is informal and the City will issue no staff report.

NARRRATIVE
Pathology Consultants is desiring to relocate into a new facility. The existing church
located at 1533 Market Street is being considered by PC for purchase and
conversion for use as a medical laboratory facility. The property is currently zoned
R-1, low density residential and it is assumed that the church is either operating
under a Discretionary Use Permit or is a pre-existing non-conforming use. Medical
laboratories would most likely fit under “Offices and Clinics” under any of the
commercial zones. Neighborhood Commercial seems the most likely fit for this
proposed use.
QUESTIONS
1.May we assume a medical laboratory use will be defined as “Offices and Clinics”
under the SDC 3.2.320? It seems like it would, given the listings in SDC
3.2.315(C).
2.We also assume the Neighborhood Commercial zone does NOT require an
underlying Metro Plan Amendment and is considered a “floating zone.” There
would thus be no need for an underlying Metro Plan change of designation,
correct?
3.On the enclosed site plan, we show a schematic layout of the building for the
intended use. The NC zone at SDC Table 3.2.325(B) also has a maximum height
limit of 20 feet. It appears the steeple is possibly the only portion exceeding the
height limit. Would it be “grandfathered” in as pre-existing?
4.We will perform a traf fic study. Both streets (Market and Carter) appear to be
local streets. However, mixed use commercial zones are 120 ft south and high
density residential is immediately across Carter street from the site. Mohawk
Boulevard (a Minor Arterial) is about 500 ft to the east. What major issues or
criteria will be germane to rezoning this parcel to NC?
5.Are there any other “red flags” or obvious items you see that we will need to
address beyond the obvious?
