The subject plat is 7.16 acres (+/-) and is located adjacent to the Ankeny corporate limits—southwest of the intersection at SW Irvinedale Drive and SW Vintage Parkway/NW Polk City Drive. The plat lies within the state statutory two-mile subdivision review area for the City of Ankeny, and is directly adjacent to the corporate limits; however, the plat area is not located within the City of Ankeny planning boundary.
The plat area is zoned under Polk County as GC, General Commercial District; and it is not indicated in The Ankeny Plan 2040 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map since it is not located within the planning boundary. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the current singular lot into two lots—one of which is currently developed as self-storage, while the newly created lot will facilitate the construction of future development. The plat area will continue to utilize City of Ankeny sanitary sewer and Des Moines Water Works water main. |
