Adopt the Recommendations of the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District as follows:
1.
A Land Use Change application must be filed with the District prior to final platting.
2.
All laterals and waste ways must be protected. The easement for the Chaffin Drain must

13.
There are no significant or scenic features, or no significant existing trees, of
major importance that affect the consideration of this application.
14.
It is found that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the requested use
and all other required features. As part of the planned development, the applicant is requesting
approval of parking scenario proposed, as follows: The senior apartment units will be served by
underground parking with an approximate ratio of one space per unit. The assisted living facility
will be served by4l parking spaces (which is a ratio of one space per each 1.5 units). The lodge will
be served by 60 spaces in the front and an additional 6 spaces at the service entrance (which is a ratio
of approximately one space per 450 square feet).
Standard ordinance parking requirements for "convalescent or nursing home, rest home, and
similar uses" is I space per 5 beds. This standard is actually far exceeded by the proposal for the
assisted living facility. Standard ordinance for apartments/multi-family dwellings is 2 spaces per
unit. This standard would be cut in half for the senior apartments. The lodgelcommon building is
not spelled out by ordinance and would fall under 11-13-5.B.7, which states, "for uses not listed in
this section, parking spaces shall be provided on the same basis as the most similar listed use.
It is proposed that the project will support all of the proposed parking ratios, as they are based
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 8 OF 20
on the applicant's experience with similar projects in other areas.
15.
The current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as
Mixed-Use - Community. It is found that the proposed CCRC uses are harmonious with and in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. The overall project was approved as a conditional use
for planned development in order to allow reduced setbacks and multiple buildings on a single
lot. The current proposal is also a planned development to modifY the original layout and to
provide detailed approval of both phases. The project will meet the minimum requirements of
the MCC with all the conditions are complied with.
This proposal is in compliance with the mixed use policies in Chapter 7 (pp.97-98), The
purpose of the mixed use designation in the Comprehensive Plan "is to identifY key areas which
are either infill in nature or situated in highly visible or transitioning areas of the city where
innovative and flexible design opportunities are encouraged. The intent of this designation is to
offer the developer a greater degree of design and use flexibility. Thus the flexibility requested
through the Planned Development is in harmony with the intent ofthe Comprehensive Plan
designation.
16.
It is found that the proposed CCRCwill not adversely change the existing (mixed use)
or intended (mixed use) character of the general vicinity. The proposed project boundary is
surrounded on all sides by other property owned by Touchmark for the Meadow Lake Village project
and is in harmony with the approved conceptual plan for the project. Any impacts of the CCRC will
likely be restricted to existing and future phases of the Meadow Lake Village project itself.
17.
It is not anticipated that the proposed CCRC will adversely affect adjacent
properties due to the fact that the proposed CCRC is central to and completely surrounded by the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 9 OF 20
Meadow Lake Village project. Any impacts of the CCRC will likely be restricted to existing and
future phases of the Meadow Lake Village project itself.
18.
It is found that the proposed development can be adequately served by the essential
public services and facilities. City water and sewer mains have been constructed within the Meadow
Lake Village project and will be extended as part of this proposed development. Drainage will be
retained on site. Trash enclosures have been provided on-site for refuse disposal. The applicant
needs to coordinate with the Fire Department regarding the fire lanes.
19.
It is found that the proposed CCRC will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community, nor would it create the need for any new facilities or services to be paid for by the
public. All required improvements, including landscaping, paving, parking, installation of services
and roads, etc. will be paid for by the developer. The primary public costs to serve the project will
be for fire and police services.
20.
It is found that no excessive traffic, smoke, fumes, glare or odors should result from
the proposed medical office use. ACHD approved the project on 6/12/04 at stafflevel and references
the ACHD Commission's prior approval of the overall project on 4/8103.
21.
It is found that the proposed use will not create significant interference with any
traffic on the surrounding public streets. Refer to the ACHD comments for additional detail on this
project. As noted above in paragraph 20, ACHD did approve the project on 6/12/04.
22.
It is found that there are no natural or scenic features of major importance which will
be lost through the development of the subject property.
