APPLICANT INFORMATION A. Applicant: Sadie Creek Commons, LLC – 10789 W. Twain Ave. #200, Las Vegas, NV 89135 B. Owner: Same as Applicant C. Representative: Tamara Thompson, The Land Group – 462 E. Shore Drive, Ste. 100, Eagle, ID 83616 IV. NOTICING Planning & Zoning Posting Date City Council Posting Date Legal notice published in newspaper 11/30/2018 Radius notification mailed to properties within 300 feet 11/27/2018 Nextdoor posting 11/27/2018 Public hearing notice sign posted on site 12/7/2018 V. STAFF ANALYSIS The development agreement modification proposes to remove the subject property from the terms of the existing development agreement [i.e. Inst. #108008770, AZ-05-052 Sadie Creek Commons] and enter into a new development agreement for the proposed development. The previously approved conceptual development plan was for a mixed use development consisting of 150,000 square feet of commercial retail, restaurant and office uses (see Section VII.A). The provisions in the DA pertain to that development plan and specifically this site. Page 7 A new conceptual development plan and building elevations are proposed with the subject application that demonstrates how the property is proposed to develop. The new plan proposes a 99,000+/- square foot 2-story building for an athletic club and spa and a 15,300+/- square foot retail building; associated parking for the proposed uses is also depicted (see Section VII.B). A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is proposed to operate an indoor/outdoor arts, entertainment or recreation facility and spa from 5:00 4:00 am to 10:00 midnight (12:00 am) pm for indoor activities and 5:00 am to 11:00 pm for outdoor activities (seasonal) in accord with UDC 11-2B-3A.4. The UDC limits business hours of operation in the C-G district when the property abuts a residential use or district; extended hours of operation may be requested through a CUP. This property abuts a residential use and district to the south, thus the reason for the request. A. Future Land Use Map Designation (https://www.meridiancity.org/compplan) Mixed-Use Regional (MU-R) The purpose of the MU-R designation is to provide a mix of employment, retail, and residential dwellings and public uses near major arterial intersections. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses together, including residential, and to avoid predominantly single use developments such as a regional retail center with only restaurants and other commercial uses. Developments should have a regional draw with the appropriate supporting uses. Developments are encouraged to be designed according to the conceptual MU-R plan depicted in Figure 3-5 in the Comprehensive Plan as shown below. B. Comprehensive Plan Policies (https://www.meridiancity.org/compplan): The proposed development promotes the following action items contained in the Comprehensive Plan:  “Plan for an encourage services like healthcare, daycare, grocery stores and recreational areas to be built within walking distance of residential dwellings.” (2.01.01C)  “Develop indoor/outdoor multiple-use facilities (i.e. recreation center, fairgrounds, etc.) for a variety of recreational, educational, cultural and sports purposes and uses.” (6.01.02D) Page 8  “Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels.” (3.06.01F)  “Require screening and landscape buffers on all development requests that are more intense than adjacent residential properties.” (3.06.01G) C. Existing Structures/Site Improvements: There are no existing structures or improvements on this site. D. Proposed Use Analysis: The proposed athletic club is classified as an “arts, entertainment or recreation facility, outdoor” and the spa is classified as a “personal service” in UDC 11-1A-1; both are listed as principal permitted uses in the C-G district per UDC Table 11-2B-2. E. Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3): The proposed athletic club is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-2, Arts, Entertainment or Recreation Facility, Indoors and Outdoors, as follows: A. General Standards: 1. All outdoor recreation areas and structures that are not fully enclosed shall maintain a minimum setback of one hundred feet (100') from any abutting residential districts. The playing areas of golf courses, including golf tees, fairways, and greens, are an exception to this standard. (Ord. 07-1325, 7-10-2007) The outdoor recreation area as shown on the site plan is within 100’ of the abutting residential district to the south; the site plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application should be revised to depict the recreation area at least 100’ from the residential district in accord with this requirement. 2. No outdoor event or activity center shall be located within fifty feet (50') of any property line and shall operate only between the hours of six o'clock (6:00) A.M. and eleven o'clock (11:00) P.M. The site plan depicts the pool areas within 50’ of the northern and southern property lines. The site plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application should be revised to comply with this requirement. Note: The proposed property boundary adjustment will alleviate this issue on the north boundary. 3. Accessory uses including, but not limited to, retail, equipment rental, restaurant and drinking establishments, may be allowed if designed to serve patrons of the use only. The Applicant’s narrative states the “VillaCafe” located near the front lobby will serve both members and the public. Although the specific use standards don’t support accessory uses that serve the public, because the C-G district allows retail and restaurant uses as principal permitted uses, Staff is amenable to those uses serving both members and the public as a provision of the DA. 4. Outdoor speaker systems shall comply with section 11-3A-13, "Outdoor Speaker Systems", of this title, which states, “Any outdoor speaker system associated with the use shall be located a minimum of 100 feet from all residential districts. No outdoor speaker systems shall be allowed within a residential district. These standards may be waived through approval of a conditional use permit.” The Applicant should comply with this requirement. Page 9 B. Additional Standards for Swimming Pools: Any outdoor swimming pool shall be completely enclosed within a six foot (6') non-scalable fence that meets the requirements of the building code in accord with title 10, chapter 1, of this code. A 6-foot tall non-scalable fence should be depicted on the site/landscape plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application that complies with this requirement. D. Additional Standards for Outdoor Stage or Musical Venue: Any use with a capacity of one hundred (100) seats or more or within one thousand feet (1,000') of a residence or a residential district shall be subject to approval of a conditional use permit. (Ord. 05-1170, 8- 30-2005, eff. 9-15-2005)” Because a residential district and uses exist to the south within 1,000 feet, an outdoor stage or musical venue is not allowed, unless otherwise approved through a subsequent conditional use permit. F. Outdoor Speaker Systems: Outdoor speaker systems associated with the use are required to be located a minimum of 100 feet from all residential districts, unless waived through approval of a conditional use permit per UDC 11-3A-13. If outdoor speakers are proposed, they should be depicted on the site plan outside of the 100 foot area. G. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): Future development should comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2B-3 for the C-G district. H. Access (UDC 11-3A-3): Access is proposed to be provided to the site via two (2) accesses from E. Ustick Rd., an arterial street – one via N. Centrepoint Way, an existing local street; and one via a new driveway in alignment with N. Cajun Ln. to the south. Access is also available from the south from Eagle Rd. via E. Seville Ln. from Cajun Ln. Note: The new access driveway via Ustick Rd. does not lie entirely on this property; therefore, the proposed location relies on approval from the adjacent property owner – in the absence of this, the driveway will need to be shifted to the west to be entirely on this site. The UDC (11-3A-3) limits access to arterial streets when access via a local street is available unless approved by City Council. Because access to this site is available via two (2) local streets (i.e. N. Centrepoint Way and N. Cajun Ln.), Council approval of this access is required. Without Council approval, the access should not be allowed and the site plan should be revised accordingly. A cross-access easement exists to this site from N. Cajun Ln., the private street to the south via an easement depicted on the Bienville Square Subdivision plat (Inst. #106169335; #109001537). A cross-access easement should be granted from this site to the property to the south as well as to the out-parcel to the east (#S1105110025). I. Parking (UDC 11-3C): Off-street parking is required to be provided on the site in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-6B per the dimensions shown in Table 11-3C-5. In commercial districts, a minimum of one vehicle space is required for every 500 square feet of gross floor area. Bicycle parking is also required to be provided at one space for every 25 proposed vehicle spaces in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-5C. Page 10 Based on the overall square footage of the structures proposed (i.e. 114,300), a minimum of 229 vehicle spaces and 9 bicycle parking spaces are required to be provided. A total of 548 vehicle spaces are proposed with 22 bicycle parking spaces in excess of UDC standards. J. Pathways (UDC 11-3A-8): A segment of the City’s multi-use pathway system (sidewalk) exists within this site along the west side of N. Centrepoint Way in accord with the Pathways Master Plan. A detached 10-foot wide multi-use pathway within a public use easement and pedestrian lighting and landscaping is required to be provided within the street buffer along N. Eagle Rd./SH 55 in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3H-4C.3. K. Sidewalks (UDC 11-3A-17): A detached 5-foot wide sidewalk is required along E. Ustick Rd., an arterial street, east of N. Centrepoint Way (a detached sidewalk exists along Ustick west of Centrepoint); attached 5-foot wide sidewalks are required along all local streets, including N. Centrepoint Way in accord with UDC 11-3A-17. Note: An asphalt pathway exists along each side of N. Centrepoint Way; no sidewalk/pathway exists along E. Pickard Ln./St. A 10-foot wide multi-use pathway is required in lieu of a sidewalk along N. Eagle Rd./SH 55. L. Parkways (UDC 11-3A-17): All parkways should comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17. The parkway that exists between the curb and sidewalk along Ustick Rd. west of Centrepoint is currently gravel; this area will need to be improved in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. M. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B): A 35-foot wide street buffer is required along N. Eagle Rd./SH 55 and E. Ustick Rd., both entryway corridors; and 10-foot wide street buffers are required along local streets as set forth in UDC Table 11-2B-3. All street buffers are required to be landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. There are no existing trees on the site being removed that require mitigation. N. Waterways (UDC 11-3A-6): The Milk Lateral runs along the north and east boundaries of this site. The Applicant proposes to re-route and pipe the facility in accord with UDC 11-3A-6. O. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7): There is an existing 6-foot tall solid wood fence along the southern boundary of the site that is owned by the adjacent property owner and is proposed to remain. A 6-foot tall masonry screen wall is proposed along the west boundary adjacent to residential uses to match that on the property to the south as shown on Sheet L1.50 of the landscape plan, detail 4. P. Utilities (UDC 11-3A-21): Connection to City water and sewer services is required. Street lighting is required to be installed in accord with the City’s adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. See Section VIII-B Below for Public Works comments/conditions. Page 11 Q. Pressurized Irrigation (11-3A-15) An underground pressurized irrigation system is required to be provided within the development as set forth in UDC 11-3A-15. R. Storm Drainage (11-3A-18) An adequate storm drainage system shall be required in all developments in accord with the City’s adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow best management practice as adopted by the City. S. Structure and Design Standards (UDC 11-3A-19 | Architectural Standards Manual): Conceptual building elevations were submitted for the future athletic club as shown in Section VII.B. Final design of the structure should be consistent with the design standards listed in the Architectural Standards Manual. Parking lots for properties greater than 2 acres in size should not have more than 50% of the total off-street parking area for the site located between the building façade and the abutting streets; as an alternative, the parking area should be screened by berms, landscaping, walls, architectural elements or a combination of these elements to produce an appropriate buffer adjacent to public spaces and roadways as set forth in UDC 11-3A- 19B.3. Traffic calming measures should be provided where vehicle circulation is directed in front of the building entries. A continuous internal pedestrian walkway that is a minimum of 5 feet in width is required to be provided from the perimeter sidewalk to the main building entrance(s) and be distinguished from the vehicular driving surfaces through the use of pavers, colored or scored concrete, or bricks as set forth in UDC 11-3A-19B.4. T. Certificate of Zoning Compliance/Design Review A Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review application is required to be submitted and approved prior to submittal of a building permit application. Plans submitted with these applications should comply with UDC standards and the design standards in the Architectural Standards Manual. VI. DECISION A. Staff: Staff recommends approval of the proposed modification to the Development Agreement and the conditional use permit applications in accord with the provisions in Section VII.A. VIII. Note: The driveway access via E. Ustick Rd. requires Council approval of a waiver to UDC 11- 3A-3, which limits access via arterial streets when access via a local street is available. In this case, access is available via (2) local streets. If a waiver is not approved, the site plan should be revised accordingly. Council action is needed on this request. B. Commission: The Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item on December 20, 2018. At the public hearing, the Commission moved to approve the subject CUP request. a. Summary of Commission Public Hearing: i. In favor: Tamara Thompson, The Land Group; Mike Fassler ii. In opposition: None Page 12 iii. Commenting: Jared Schofield; Steve Grant; Shaun Wardle; Jeff Vrba; David Park, Jackson Square HOA iv. Written testimony: David Durfee v. Staff presenting application: Sonya Allen vi. Other staff commenting on application: None b. Key Issues of Public Testimony: i. Objection to hours of operation before 6:00 am; ii. Concerns pertaining to the adequacy of the buffer (trees/landscaping will take a long time to mature) along the west boundary of the site and parking lot lighting impacting adjacent residential uses; iii. Concern pertaining to an increase in traffic in this area and public safety; iv. Objection to the proposed hours of operation – in favor of 9:00 am to 10:00 pm with outdoor speakers limited to 9:00 pm; v. Not in favor of the proposed height of the building, request for a shorter building that would impact adjacent residential neighbors less; vi. Concern pertaining to noise generated from the proposed use and its impact on residential neighbors. c. Key Issues of Discussion by Commission: i. The proposed hours of operation for the outdoor activity center and outdoor speakers; ii. Requirement for the separation between outdoor recreation areas to be measured from the property line of adjacent residential structures rather than from the residential zoning district. d. Key Commission Changes to Staff Recommendation: i. Strike the last sentence in condition #2.1k in Section VIII.A pertaining to construction of an off-site sidewalk along Cajun Way at the recommendation of Staff since there will likely be a driveway in that location in the future. ii. Modify condition #2.1a in Section VIII.A to reflect the Commission’s interpretation of UDC 11-4-3-2A.1 to reflect setback measurement from any residential property line with a home, rather than from a residential district; iii. Modify condition #2.2 in Section VIII.A to adjust the hours of operation as approved by the Commission; iv. Include a new condition requiring the Applicant to work with Planning Staff to create a sound buffer to mitigate some of the noise concerns between the pool area and neighboring homes (#2.9 in Section VIII.A). v. Include a new condition requiring the Applicant to work with Planning Staff and ACHD to create a crosswalk for pedestrian access to the facility from the west parking lot (#2.10 in Section VIII.A). C. City Council: The City Council heard the request for City Council review of the Planning & Zoning Commission’s decision on the conditional use permit on April 2, 2019. At the public hearing, the Council moved to approve the subject CR request. Concurrently, City Council heard a request for a Development Agreement Modification & Variance (H-2018-0121; H-2019- 0032). Page 13 1. Council approved a waiver to UDC 11-3A-3 for an access driveway via E. Ustick Rd. (strike condition #2.4 in Section VIII); 2. Modify condition #A.2.1d in Section VIII to allow setback proposed with Variance for outdoor activity centers; change to hours of operation for outdoor activities to 5:00 AM instead of 6:00 AM; and the slide associated with the swimming pool to close at 9:00 PM. 3. Modify condition #A.2.1a in Section VIII to allow the setback for outdoor recreation areas abutting residential districts as shown on the site plan approved with the variance (H-2019-0032). 4. Modification to condition #A.2.1c in Section VIII to reflect Council approval of a waiver to not require the outdoor speaker system to be located 100’ from all residential districts; and to include the Applicant’s agreement to limit the hours of operation of the outdoor speaker system from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. 5. Modification to #A.2.2 in Section VIII to reflect approval of outdoor activities commencing at 5:00 AM instead of 6:00 AM. VII. EXHIBITS A.
