Request for the Rezone of 9.16 acres trom R-8 to C-C Zone for Cairns
Crossing Subdivision by Landmark Engineering and Planning (File #RZ-04-
011)
Request for Preliminary Plat of Eleven (11) Commercial Building Lots on
9.16 Acres in a Proposed C-C Zone by Landmark Engineering and Planning,
Inc (File #PP-O4-033)
.
We have reviewed these submittals and offer the following comments, as conditions of the
applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by
motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATIONS SUMMARY
The applicant, Landmark Engineering and Planning, on behalf of Stubblefield Development
Company, requests the zoning of a 9.16-acre parcel, located immediately east of the recently
constructed multi-tenant commercial building, Linder Crossing, and just to the east of the
southeast comer of Cherry Lane and Linder Road. The parcel is currently zoned R-8 and
located within the City of Meridian. The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property to
c-c. The proposed C-C zoning is compatible with the subject property's Commercial
Comprehensive Plan designation.
The applicant also requests preliminary plat approval to subdivide the 9.16-acre subject property
into eleven (II) commercial lots, each with a single building and use. The proposed
commercial subdivision will take access off of Cherry Lane and will have two cross-access
points providing a connection to Linder Crossing.
The proposed lots range in size trom 21,119 square feet to 73,421 square feet.

Page 2
Applications for a request to rezone the subject property to C-C (RZ-00-005) and a Conditional
Use Permit to allow commercial buildings and a gas station (CUP-00-048) were submitted in
2000 and withdrawn in 2001 by the applicant. The 14,880 square foot commercial building
(Linder Crossing) located directly east of the subject property was approved through a
Certificate of Zoning Compliance in 2002.
Staff and the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) have recommended that the applicant
reduce the subdivision's number of access points off of Cherry Lane ITom three to two. ACHD
and staff have also recommended that the eastern access point be aligned with the Meridian
Public Library's access point directly to the north of the subject property.
The applicant is proposing to not provide a vehicular connection between the stub located at 13th
Street south of the subject property in a residential subdivision and the proposed commercial
subdivision. According to the applicant, residents in the residential neighborhood to the south of
the subject property are strongly opposed to a vehicular or pedestrian connection between the
13th Street stub and the subject property. ACHD is not requiring the applicant to provide a
vehicular connection between 13th Street and the subject property. ACHD is, however,
re~iring that the applicant provide a 10' pedestrian connection and emergency access at the
13t Street connection. The applicant is proposing to provide emergency vehicle access and a
pedestrian connection at 13th Street; this proposal is supported by Meridian's Police and Fire
Departments and ACHD. The connection at 13th Street was discussed at the public hearings
held in 2001 for the Linder Crossing CUP and rezone applications. The. applicant originally
proposed to provide a vehicular connection at 13th Street. The CUP and rezone applications
(RZ-00-005 and CUP-00-048) were withdrawn by the applicant before any decisions were made
by Council regarding the access point at 13th Street.
Staff is recommending approval of the request for rezone and preliminary plat applications with
conditions.
LOCATION
The property is located just to the east of the southeast corner of Cherry Lane and Linder
Road. The parcel is in Section 12, T3N, RIW. The property is designated as
"Commercial" in the 2002 Comprehensive Plan.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
North - Cherry Lane is located directly to the north of the subject property. Christ Lutheran
Church, Meridian's Public Library, and single family residences are located on the north side of
Cherry Lane.

South - Northgate Subdivision, a residential subdivision with R-4 zoning is located directly to
the south of the subject property.
East - A Middle School is located directly to the east of the subdivision. The Middle School
property is zoned R-4.
West- Linder Crossing, a 14,880 square foot multi-tenant commercial building, with C-N
zoning is located directly to the west of the subject property.
OWNER OF RECORD
The property owner of record is Stubblefield Development Company. Notarized consent
for the subject applications has been submitted.
ZONING ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both
the P&Z Commission and Council are required "to review the particular facts and circumstances
of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate
evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff:
A.
Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a Comprehensive
Plan amendment;
Staff finds that the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the
subject property as "Commercial." The proposed C-C zoning is compatible with the
Comprehensive Plan designation of "Commercial."
Staff also finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies to be applicable
(staff analysis is in italics below policy):
. "Locate new community commercial areas on arterials or collectors near residential
areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining residential areas." (Chapter VII,
Goal I, Obj. B, #5)
RZ-O4-0 11 / PP-O4-033 Cairns Crossing Subdivision
Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council
October 7, 2004 (Hearing Date)
Page 4
The proposed Cairns Crossing Subdivision has frontage Cherry Lane, a principal
arterial roadway. The applicant is proposing a pedestrian connection with the
residential subdivision to the south of the subject property. The proposed
commercial development complements adjoining residential areas.
.
"Require screening and buffering of commercial and industrial properties and
residential use with transitional zoning." (Chapter VII, Goal N., Obj. A, #6)
As required under MCC 12-13, the applicant is proposing landscaping buffers at the
edges of the subject property bordering Northgate residential subdivision.
.
"Permit new. . .commercial. . .developments only where urban services can be
reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to
the City." (Chapter N, Goal I, Obj. A, #6)
Cairns Crossing Subdivision is contiguous to existing city limits and sanitary sewer,
water and other urban utilities can be extended to meet the needs of the development.
B.
Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that the
area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new railroad
access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed in a fashion
similar to the proposed rezone area;
The property immediately to the west of the subject property was recently developed as
a commercial development. Linder Crossing, a multi-tenant commercial building with
C-N zoning was permitted through a CZC application in 2002. Stafffmds a rezone of the
proposed property would be compatible with other land use and facility changes in the
area.
c.
Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be
harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character
of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the essential character of
the same area;
No specific uses are proposed with this application. Staff finds that any future uses, if
designed, constructed and operated in accordance with adopted city ordinances and
standards, should be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing
character of the vicinity.
D.
Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
RZ-O4-011! PP-O4-033 Cairns Crossing Subdivision
Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council
October 7, 2004 (Hearing Date)
Page 5
Staff finds the majority of the potential future uses on the subject property allowable in
the C-C zoning district will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses if all development and landscaping ordinances are exercised. The
proposed landscape buffers and the block walls located at the southern edge of the
property and the southwest edge of the property adjoining residential uses are intended
to mitigate any disturbances. The Commission and Council should rely on public
testimony to determine whether the proposed uses will be disturbing or hazardous to the
neighboring residential uses.
E.
Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as
highways, streets, police and rue protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal,
water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed
zoning amendment shall be able to provide adequately any of such services;
Staff finds the public streets adjacent to the subject property will handle the additional
traffic generated by future development. See the report ITom the Ada County Highway
District for further details concerning the potential traffic impacts of the proposed
development. ACHD has recommended that the applicant provide only two access
points to Cherry Lane and that the eastern access point be aligned with the library's
access point directly north of the subject property. See Zoning Comment "H" regarding
the stub street at 13th Street. Sanitary sewer and water are either currently available or
can be made available to provide service to the area. The Commission and Council
should rely upon comments submitted by Meridiao Police and Fire Departments to
determine serviceability for these services. All other public services and facilities noted
above appear to be adequate to service this property.
F.
Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities
and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community;
Staff finds that this development will not cause excessive additional requirements at
public cost. All site improvements will be funded and constructed by the developer. We
also find that the rezone alone will not be detrimental to the community's economic
welfare.
G.
Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, 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;
Staff finds that several of the allowed uses in the C-C zone may involve activities,
processes, materials, equipment or conditions that could produce excessive traffic and
noise and have other public impacts. The allowed uses in the C-C zone are generally
limited to uses compatible with residential uses. The Commission and Council mav want
to consider if a Development Agreement is desirous to address any potentially
RZ-O4-011 / PP-O4-033 Cairns Crossing Subdivision
Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council
October 7, 2004 (Hearing Date)
Page 6
detrimental activities (e.g. prohibit 24-hour operations such as convenience stores).
There is no mechanism other than a DA to place such a limitation on this subdivision.
H.
Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed
as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets;
Staff finds that the vehicular approaches, if modified as recommended by staff and
ACHD, will not create an interference with traffic on surrounding streets. See the report
ITom the Ada County Highway District for further details concerning the potential traffic
impacts of the proposed development. ACHD has recommended that the applicant
provided only two access points to Cherry Lane and that the eastern access point be
aligned with the library's access point directly north of the subject property and that the
applicant provide a pedestrian connection and emergency access at the 13th Street stub
located to the south of the subject property.
The applicant is proposing to not provide a vehicular connection between the stub
located at 13th Street at the southern edge of the subject property and the proposed
commercial subdivision. The applicant is, however, proposing to provide emergency
vehicle access and a pedestrian connection at 13th Street; this proposal is supported by
both Meridian's Police and Fire Departments and ACHD. Staff is supportive of the
applicant's proposal to provide a pedestrian connection and emergency access at the 13th
Street stub in light of the strung opposition by the residents of 13 Street to the vehicular
connection and the relatively close proximity of 13th Street to Linder Road. The
pedestrian connection will allow residents to easily access the commercial subdivision
by foot or bicycle and steel feels that the proximity of 13th Street to Linder Road does
not necessitate a vehicular connection at 13th Street.
The connection at 13th Street was discussed at the public hearings held in 2001 for the
Linder Crossing CUP and rezone arplications. The applicant originally proposed to
provide a vehicular connection at 13' Street. The CUP and rezone applications (RZ-OO-
005 and CUP-00-048) were withdrawn by the applicant before any decisions were made
by Council regarding the access point at 13th Street.
I.
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of
major importance; and
Staff finds that the rezone alone will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of
natural or scenic features.
J.
Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of Meridian.

Page 7
Staff finds that the rezoning of this property would be in the best interest of the City for
the following reasons:
. increased commercial land base;
. increased property tax revenue;
. municipal services are available to the area; and
. application substantially complies with the Comprehensive Plan.
ZONING SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
1. The legal description submitted with the application meets the requirements of the City of
Meridian and State Tax Commission and places the parcel contiguous to existing city limits.

Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council
October 7, 2004 (Hearing Date)
Page 8
In accordance with Comp Plan policy #12 (pg. 79) and policy #2 (pg. 107), staff finds
that the number of vehicular access points to Meridian Road/SH 69 should be restricted
and comply with ACHD policies in order to preserve the capacity and movement on the
roadway at build-out. Staff and ACHD are recommending that the applicant modify the
proposed site plan to include only two access points off of Cherry Lane rather than the
three access points proposed by the applicant.
c. The continuity ofthe proposed development with the capital improvement program;
Staff fmds that the subdivision is in conformance with and will not negatively
impact the capital improvement funds.
d. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
Staff fmds that the development will not require major expenditures for supporting
services. The developer will fund and construct the majority ofthe supporting
services.
e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff fmds that as long as the developer complies with aU regulatory agency
standards, no health, safety or environmental problems are anticipated by this
development.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
1.
Staff is recommending that the following requirements be included in a Development
Agreement:
A. A cross access agreement must be established for all subdivision lots.
B. All buildings constructed in the subdivision (with the exception of buildings
constructed on lots 6 and 7, if buildings on lots 6 and 7 are oriented towards
Cherry Lane lot lines must be adjusted to allow adequate setbacks) must be
oriented towards Cherry Lane. Windows and main entrances should be
constructed on the north side of all buildings. Meridian's Comprehensive Plan
(P. 102) lists as an objective the need to "require neighborhood commercial areas
to create a site design compatible with surrounding land uses." Staff feels that
orienting all proposed structures towards Cherry Lane will help to improve the
site design and make the commercial development more compatible with
surrounding uses.
C. All HV AC units located on the roofs of buildings must be screened.

RE: Linder Crossing Phase 2 (Cairns Crossing)
Dear Mayor de Weerd and Council Members:
It has come to our attention that a proposal has been made for the construction of a new
business park, Cairns Crossing on Cherry Lane across ITom the Meridian Library. The
planner, Clinton E. Boyle and the developer, John Stubblefield have met with me
regarding tl3e proposal. The business park appears to be an acceptable use of the
property; however there are issues witl3 tl3e proposed access points.
Due to the extremely heavy traffic on Cherry Lane and the number of patrons using the
center lane to access the library, the Library Board of Trustees is requesting that no
access points to the business park be placed directly across ITom the library. However, if
it is determined by Planning & Zoning and the Highway District that an access point is
necessary in that area, the Board is requesting that it be lined up evenly with the east
entrance of the library rather than off-set as in the current proposal.
Thank you considering our request when making your decision regarding the above
referenced proposal.
Sincerely,
?~'--\~

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that storm water be pre-treated prior to discharge to the
subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and surface water quality. The
engineers and architects involved with the design of this project should obtain
current best management practices for storm water disposal and design a
storm water management system that is preventing groundwater and surface
water degradation. Manuals that could be used for guidance are:
State of Idaho Catalog of Stormwater Best Management Practices For
Idaho Cities and Counties.
Prepared by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, July
1997.
Stormwater Best Management Practices Guidebook.
Prepared by City of Boise Public Works Department, May 2000.

RE:
RZO4-011 & PPO4-033/Cairns Crossing Subdivision
Dear Will:
RZ04-011: Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District has no comment on the above
referenced application for rezoning.
PPO4-033: Ifall storm drainage is retained on-site there will be no impact on Nampa &
Meridian Irrigation District and no further review will be required.
However, if any surface drainage leaves the site, the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation
District requires a Land Use Change Application be filed for review prior to final
platting. Please contact Donna Moore at 466- 7861 for further information.
All laterals and waste ways must be protected. The developer must comply with Idaho
Code 31-3805. It is recommended that irrigation water be made available to all
developments within the Nainpa &Meridian Irrigation District.
Thank you,
(Ji'" ~

RE:
Land Use Change Application - Cairns Crossina Subdivision
Please note the District now requires three (3) sets of plans
Dear Mr. Carpenter:
Enclosed please find a Land Use Change Application for your use to file with the Irrigation
District for its review on the above-referenced development. If this development is under a
"rush' to be finalized, I would recommend that you submit a cashier's check, money order or
cash as payment of the fees in order to speed the process up. If you submit a company or
personal check, it must clear the bank before processing the application.
Should this development be planning a pressure urban irrigation system that will be owned,
operated and maintained by the Irrigation District, I strongly urge you to coordinate with John P.
Anderson, Water Superintendent for the Irrigation District, concerning the installation of the
pressure system. Enclosed is a questionnaire that you must fill out and return in order to initiate
the process of contractual agreements between the owner or developer and the Irrigation
District for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the pressure urban irrigation system.
If you have any questions cçmcerning this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or John P. Anderson, at the District's shop.
Sincerely,
