COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS This property is designated "Mixed Use Regional" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The purpose of this 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. Developments should be anchored by uses that have a regional draw with the appropriate supporting uses. Rise Volleyball CUP -14-015 PAGE 2 The proposed use of the site for a club volleyball training facility is not a typical industrial use; however, the UDC classifies the proposed use as an indoor recreation facility and as such, it requires conditional use approval in the I -L district. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the proposed use (staff analysis in italics): • "Plan for and encourage services like health care, daycare, grocery stores and recreational areas to be built within walking distance of residential dwellings." (2.01.01C) The proposed club volleyball training facility will provide a recreation opportunity for youth in nearby residential developments as well as the City. • "Require all commercial and industrial businesses to install and maintain landscaping." (2.01.03B) Landscaping already exists on this site; no changes are proposed. The applicant is required to maintain the existing landscaping. • "Provide opportunities for physical activities." (2.01.01B) The proposed club volleyball training facility will provide physical opportunities for youth in the area. • "Locate industrial and commercial uses where adequate water supply and water pressure are available for fire protection." (3.04.02A) There is adequate water supply and pressure available to the site for fire protection. For the above -stated reasons and because of the large size and openness of a building needed for an indoor volleyball practice facility, staff is of the opinion the proposed use is appropriate in this location. VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE A. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the I -L district is to provide for convenient employment centers of light manufacturing, research and development, warehousing, and distributing. In accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, the I -L district is intended to encourage the development of industrial uses that are clean, quiet and free of hazardous or objectionable elements and that are operated, entirely, or almost entirely, within enclosed structures. Accessibility to transportation systems is a requirement of this district. B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) 11-2C-2 lists the permitted, accessory, conditional, and prohibited uses in the I -L zoning district. The proposed indoor recreation facility (volleyball training facility) is listed as a conditional use in the I -L district. The specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-2 apply to the proposed use. C. Dimensional Standards: The dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2C-3 for the I -L zoning district apply to development of this site. IX. ANALYSIS A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: The applicant requests approval of an indoor club volleyball practice facility in a 12,750 square feet tenant space in an existing building in the I -L zoning district. The proposed use is classified as "indoor recreation facility" in the UDC which requires conditional use approval in the I -L district. No exterior modifications to the building or site are proposed. See applicant's narrative Rise Volleyball CUP -14-015 PAGE 3 submitted with the application for more information on the proposed use. Specific Use Standards: The proposed use is subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-2, Arts, Entertainment or Recreation Facility, Indoors and Outdoors. The only standard that may apply to this site is as follows, "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 other standards pertain to outdoor facilities and are not applicable to indoor facilities. Hours of Operation: The application states the proposed hours of operation are evenings and weekends. The I -L zoning district does not restrict hours of operation. Access: Access to the site is provided via N. Principle Place from E. Pine Avenue. Parking: Parking was required with development of the site based on the overall square footage of the building (approximately 76,500 s.f.). The subject tenant space consists of 12,750 square feet, which requires a minimum of 6 parking spaces; a total of 16 spaces are available for this tenant space with up to 97 shared spaces, consistent with UDC standards. Because the hours of operation are proposed to be evenings and weekends, staff feels the amount of parking provided on the site should be adequate for the proposed use. If needed, adjacent parking for other businesses that aren't open in the evenings and/or weekends may also be utilized if permission is obtained. Landscaping: Street buffer and parking lot landscaping exists on the site. No changes are proposed. Certificate of Zoning Compliance: Due to the fact that the proposed use is within an existing building and no site or exterior building modifications are proposed a full Certificate of Zoning Compliance application will not be required to commence the proposed use on this site. Planning staff will review and approve the commencement of the use through the Tenant Improvement and/or Certificate of Occupancy submitted to the Community Development Department. All interior modifications (tenant improvements) associated with the use must receive all required permits and inspections from the Building Division of the Community Development Department prior to operation of the proposed use.
