RECEIVED

From:
Subject:
Resolution Subdivision No.1
City Of Meridian
City Clerk Office
Request for Miscellaneous Application to Amend the Previously Approved
Development Agreement for Lot I, Block 3, Parcel B, of Resolution Subdivision
No. I, by Lombard-Conrad Architects (File No. MI-O4-014)
Staff has reviewed the above referenced submittal and offers the following comments.
APPLICATION SUMMARY & LOCATION
The applicant, Lombard-Conrad Architects, has submitted a Miscellaneous Application (MI)
requesting to amend the approved Development Agreement (Instrument #100056508) for Lot I,
Block 3, Parcel B, of Resolution Subdivision No. 1. The applicant is proposing to eliminate the
requirement that a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) be obtained for all uses and development of
the property and only require a CUP for those uses which are listed as conditionally allowed by
the schedule of use control (MCC 11-8-1).
While the application references a "Parcel B," staff has no record that a division ofthe property
has been approved by the City Engineer or recorded. Therefore, at this time, no new structure
besides the existing Idaho Central Credit Union may be constructed on this lot.
In June, 2000, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP-00-017) was approved for this
subdivision which required all future phases of the project to submit separate CUPs for
each phase that substantially comply with the final approved concept plan approved for
this development.

The subject property is located on the southeast comer ofS. Millenium Way and E. Overland
Road in T.3N., R.1 E., Section 20.
Staff recommends denial of the applicant's request to amend the Development Agreement for
the subject parcel with the comments stated in this report.
OWNER OF RECORD
The owner of record for the subject property is Idaho Central Credit Union. Chris Hyer, an
authorized representative for the Credit Union, has submitted notarized consent for the subject
application.
STAFF ANALYSIS
In addition to being subject to the Development Agreement for RZ-00-O03, this property was
part of the conceptual Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a Planned Development (PD)
proposal in 2000 (CUP-OO-O17). In 2000, G.L Voigt applied to rezone 37.6 acres from R-4 to
L-O (RZ-00-003). Concurrent with the rezone application was a preliminary plat application
(PP-00-006) and a conceptual CUP application for a planned development (CUP-OO-O17).
CUP-00-017 included multiple parcels, with a wide range of uses including office, retail,
multi-family residential, a day care, a seminary and an ice arena. Also submitted with the
above-listed applications was a CUP application for 200 multi-family units (CUP-00-015), and
a CUP application for an 86,160 square-foot ice arena (CUP-00-016).
Because the approval of CUP-OO-O17 was conceptual in nature, the City required, through a
Development Agreement tied to the rezone (RZ-OO-O03), detailed CUP approval for all uses in
the development. The condition to obtain detailed CUP approval when conceptual approval
has been granted is a standard requirement of the City. This requirement allows the City to
evaluate each phase to ensure that developers comply with the approved uses of the conceptual
CUP as well as design standards.
The reason staff does not support this amendment request is that this lot is located on a
principle arterial and at the entrance to the subdivision. The property should go through a
detailed Conditional Use Permit to allow the City to review building elevations, design,
construction materials, and other compatibility issues with existing development within
Resolution Subdivision. A Miscellaneous application was previously approved for Valencia
Subdivision to the south of this lot that granted removal of the CUP requirement; however,
this lot was internal to the subdivision and has less direct visibility from E. Overland Road.
If the Council approves the proposed Development Agreement amendment, any new building
on the subject property will still be required to submit a Resubdivision application to divide the
MI-O4-014

lot and a Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) application prior to construction of any
building.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends denial of this application based on the reasons stated above.
Please note that if the Council chooses to approve this application, there would be no
conditions of approval. It is solely a request to remove a condition from the development
agreement.
