development area between the two GDPs would be limited to 13,094 sq. ft. For the Avista Adventist Hospital GDP, the "density swap" is accomplished by updating the "Building Area Summary" note to accurately reflect existing campus development at 398,694 sq. ft. and remove the remaining 351,306 sq. ft of development allotment for future phases. Thus, the new development cap reflects the existing development on the campus. This would not prohibit future development within the new development cap if existing buildings were to be demolished.

As part of this request, the applicant provided a traffic study and analysis of wastewater infrastructure capacity to demonstrate that adequate infrastructure would be in place as part of the Redtail Ridge development. The City's Public Works Department determined that there is adequate water infrastructure in place and did not request an analysis. The applicant is also proposing a public dedication of an approximately 7.5-acre parcel for open space (Lot B). The dedication area covers approximately half of a 15-acre parcel listed on the Open Space Advisory Board's 2023 Candidate Open Space Ranking map as a High Priority (see Attachment No. 9, Parcel DD). The applicant requests that the City manage the new open space parcel as Open Space -Preserved Land as defined under Section 15-4 of the City Charter, and that the City does not develop public trails, trailheads or other amenities on the parcel, unless such agreement is amended in the future. This public land dedication is not being made to meet a municipal code requirement for public use dedications, as the property is already subdivided and no new development is proposed within the Avista Adventist Hospital GDP area. Public use dedications are required when a property is initially subdivided, totaling 12% of commercial areas and 15% of residential areas, or cash in lieu of land dedication (LMC Sec. 16.16.060). Additional public use dedications may be required as part of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) approval process when certain criteria are met (LMC Sec. 17.28.080). This proposal does not include a PUD development proposal. 5
