GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT

development standards.
Relief ITom the frontage, setback, driveway, and lot size standards were specifically
requested in the conditional use permit (CUP/PD) application. It is found that none of the
proposed lots meet the frontage, setback, or lot size standards of the R-15 zone. Staff is
supportive of the requested lot ITontage, setback, driveway, and lot site deviations because all of
the proposed buildable lots within the subdivision have access to the common parking/drive lot
and the proposed lots can accommodate the proposed building envelopes with a modification to
the standard setbacks.
Meridian City Code 12-13-16 requires all multi-family developments to provide common
open space that equals or exceeds ten percent of the gross land area. Common open space means
land exclusive of street rights-of-way and street buffers, except for right-of-way specifically
dedicated for landscaping within a subdivision. At a minimum, common open space lots shall
include one deciduous shade tree per 8,000 square feet and lawn, either seed or sod (MCC 12-13-
16-5). In addition to the common open space requirement, Meridian City Code 12-6-2.A.4 states
that all residential planned developments shall provide each dwelling unit with at least one
hundred square feet of use able private open space, such as a patio or deck.
It is found that the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed uses and all yards,
open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by ordinance and/or by modifying
the requirements through the Planned Development and Alternative Compliance processes.
14.
It is found that the proposed development is harmonious with the current
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (2002) which designates the property as "High Density
Residential".

PAGE 12 OF 28
It is found the development plan is, or can be made to be, in compliance with the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the adopted Comprehensive Plan, if the applicant
complies with the Site Specific and General Conditions contained in the Staff Report.
15.
It is found that the proposed apartment houses will be compatible with other uses in
the neighborhood and with the intended character ofthe general vicinity, which is essentially a mix
of residential and commercial uses.
16.
It is not anticipated that the proposed use will have an adverse affect on other property
in the vicinity if designed, constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with the Site Specific
and General Conditions of approval.
17.
The subject site has adequate access to Fairview Avenue and Main Street via local
streets in the area. The City of Meridian Fire and Police Departments currently monitor, service, and
protect the subject neighborhood. Sanitary Services Company currently provides refuse service to
the site and surrounding properties. The site is serviced by city water and sewer currently. It is
found that the proposed development is currently adequately served by the essential public facilities
and services listed in paragraph 12 hereinabove.
18.
Because this is an infill site and because public facilities and services are provided to
the site and the surrounding vicinity currently, it is found that the proposed use will not be
detrimental to the economic welfare of the community, nor will it create the need for any new
facilities or services to be paid for by the public.
19.
This development is estimated to generate 29 additional vehicle trips per day (18
existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual. The
proposed residential use is consistent with the existing residential use on the site. It is not

anticipated that the proposed use, will be detrimental to the general welfare of the community by
means of producing excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors generated by the
proposed residential use.
20.
The applicant is proposing to construct a new 2S-foot wide driveway off East 2 Y2
Street, located near the site's north property line. ACHD staffhas reviewed and approved this one
vehicular approach to the site. It is found that the proposed use and associated approach will not
create significant interferences with any traffic on the surrounding public streets.
21.
There appears to be no natural, scenic or historic features in the general vicinity of
this project. It is found that no site improvements associated with the conditional use application
should damage natural, scenic or historic features in the area.
