Philip: Staff have conferred with the Planning Director on this issue and can advise that the one-acre
minimum development area requirement stated in SDC 3.2-515(1) is not applicable to the proposed
Northwest Specialty Clinic (NWSC) partition. Staff agree with your contention that the building was
developed as part of a larger development phase that met the requirements of SDC 3.2-515(1). This staff
interpretation has been reached based on the imminent completion of the NWSC building on the proposed
parcel and the contiguous Peace Health hospital, and is not intended to be precedent-selling. Any future
proposals for development areas (vacant or built-out) that do not meet the one-acre minimum will be
reviewed independently based on the merits of the site and the supporting arguments.
One item of interest that did arise during earlier discussions was the Building Code provisions for the
sky bridge and the potential implications of creating new property lines that intersect the open connections
between adjacent buildings. Staff wanted to give you a heads-up that this issue may be reviewed in more
detail with the City's Building Official, the Fire Marshal, and the project architect.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks
Andy Limbird
City of Springfield
