Home My WebLink AboutALT26-000003 Fred Meyer Store Approval Letter (2) February 25, 2026 RE: ALT26-000003, Fred Meyer Store Dear Mr. Moseley, We have received your request for an alternative method of compliance for Fred Meyer within Valencia Village Subdivision, located at 10819 HWY 20/26. The request includes: • A fence 10’ into the 20’ wide street buffer along Toomes Drive due to engineering requirements for the storm drainage pond (1) In order to grant approval for an Alternative Method of Compliance, the Director shall determine the following (Staff response in italics): A. Alternative is consistent with the purpose of the applicable article or a specific master plan; Staff finds the street buffer along Toomes Drive still has all materials that would be required within the street buffer regardless the width, resulting in a densely landscaped frontage that meets or exceeds the minimum code standards. The common lot exceeds the 20’ of landscaping that is required, but due to the storm drainage pond, a fence needs to be installed for safety reasons. B. Strict adherence or application of the requirements are not feasible; Staff finds that due to the storm drainage pond, a fence being required by Engineering serves as a safety precaution. C. The alternative method of compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the requirements; Staff finds the required landscaping within a smaller area is equal to what would be required. The applicant is also proposing a decorative open vision fence to add additional aesthetic and allow the remaining common lot to be visible. D. The alternative means will not adversely affect a neighboring property or resident and will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended uses and character of the surrounding properties; Staff finds the proposed alternative will provide additional screening in comparison to what is required by code and will not reduce the over all buffering as the common lot is significantly larger than the street buffer is required to be by code. E. Reflects an innovative or unique design that conforms to the requirements of the applicable article to the greatest extent possible but offers alternatives for addressing the intent of the standards by maintaining or exceeding the standards; and/or, Staff finds that providing the same tree and shrub count for a smaller area, as well as the decorative fence will provide more aesthetic to the area as well as serve as a safety precaution for the storm drainage pond on the north side. F. Includes a design required to maintain consistency and compatibility within an existing development. Not required. Staff finds the alternative to allow a decorative fence 10’ into the 20’ required landscape buffer along Toomes Drive to serve as a safety precaution for the storm drainage pond to the north is approved and shall comply with the attached landscape plan at time of installation.
