Adopt the action of the City Council taken at their April 6, 2004 meeting as follows:
1.
Pertaining to the Five (5) Special Considerations in the Staff Report dated
Transmittal Date: February 26, 2004, Hearing Date: March 4, 2004, the applicant
and the Planning and Zoning Department have resolved all 5 issues.
13.
It is found that the subject property, as depicted, is large enough to accommodate
the required open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by the ordinance. It is
noted that the site is about 60 feet smaller than the platted lot lines of Bonito Subdivision and sits
on a portion of Lot 9, Block 5. A lot line adjustment is in process with the City and must be

recorded prior to issuance of a Certificate of Zoning Compliance. Parking stalls are required at
the rate of one space per 200 s.f. of gross floor area. The phase 1 temporary facility (1,217 s.f.)
requires 6 parking spaces; 13 spaces are proposed-more than double the required number. The
phase 2 permanent facility (4,765 s.f.) requires 24 parking spaces; 46 spaces are proposed-nearly
double the number required. Under each phase the project will have ample parking.
14.
It is found that the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as
"Mixed Use-Regional" and it is currently zoned C-c. Mixed Use-Regional allows for banks and
drive-through facilities (see Comprehensive Plan, p. 98). Ordinance 11-8-1, Schedule of Use
Control, allows for drive-in establishments through the conditional use process in the C-C zone. The
Development Agreement for the subdivision also allows for drive-through projects through the
conditional use process. It is found that the requested uses are in compliance with the approved
Future Land Use Map and that if approved as a CUP the project will be in compliance with the
MCC.
15.
The abutting properties to the south and west are part ofEl Dorado Business Campus
and are intended for development of a similar nature. Properties across Eagle Road to the east are in
Silverstone and are also being developed in a similar fashion. The existing rural residence across
Overland Road from the project will experience a change from existing conditions; however, the
Comprehensive Plan shows that the future intended land use of the area is also Mixed Use-
Regional. Therefore, it is found that the proposed development will not adversely change the
existing or intended character of the general vicinity. The decision to change the character of the
area was already made with the approval ofEI Dorado Business Campus and Bonito Subdivision.
16.
The adjoining properties to the west and south are owned by the same property owner
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 8 OF 20
that has consented to submittal of this application. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the proposed
use will adversely affect adjacent properties.
17.
The project has vehicular access from Overland Road via a previously approved curb
cut for Bonito Subdivision. The Police Department has commented that the shrubs along the edge of
the drive through must be low to allow clear visibility for patrol cars; the applicant has agreed to
coordinate with the Police Chief to ensure that their visibility needs are met. ACHD approved the
proposed project with no new conditions, except to comply with the conditions already placed on the
subdivision. Water and sanitary sewer service to the project is readily available to the site via mains
installed as part of the subdivision improvements.
18.
The developer will finance the extension of sewer, water, utilities and pressurized
irrigation to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the future residents will be fire and
police services. It is found that there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and
that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
19.
No new trip generation estimates were provided by ACHD, since estimates for the
entire subdivision were approved previously when it was subdivided. According to KendaIl Kemmer
at ACHD, "since they are part of a larger development the actual new daily trips will most likely be
reduced as larger developments such as Bonito [Subdivision] wiIl experience the phenomenon of trip
capture. The people who work within larger developments are more likely to use things such as
banks and restaurants within the development as opposed to going outside which reduces the number
of new trips actuaIly being made to the uses within the development." The approved subdivision
plans anticipate up to 8,262 additional vehicle trips per day for the entire El Dorado Business

campus; the proposed project is only a ftaction of the pre-approved ultimate traffic volume. It is
found that no excessive traffic, smoke, fumes, glare or odors will result from the proposed use.
20.
All vehicular approaches were previously approved with Bonito Subdivision. It is
found that the proposed use will not create significant interference with traffic on the surrounding
public streets. Refer to ACHD comments for additional detail on this issue. ACHD will not prepare
a separate site-specific report for the proposed project and instead have simply required the project to
comply with conditions of approval already placed on the subdivision as a whole.
21.
It is found that no natural or scenic feature will be lost, damaged or destroyed by
issuance of this conditional use permit. There have been no identified natural or scenic features
on the site.

The City of Meridian shall exercise the powers conferred upon it by the "Local

will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
e. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, streets, schools, parks, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer; or that the person responsible for the establishment of the proposed

facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community;

equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the
general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
h. That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall
