Request for a Rezone of 1.674 acres trom C-C CCommunity Business
District) to CoG (General Retail & Service Commercial District), by Westside
Body Works (File No. RZ-O4-013).
Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a new Auto Body Shop in a
Proposed CoG Zone, by Westside Body Works (File No. CUP-O4-042).
.
.
We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as, conditions of the applicant.
These conditions shall be considered in jùll, unless expressly modified or deJeted by motion of the
Meridian City Council:
APPLICATION SUMMARY
The applicant, Westside Body Works, has requested approval ofarezoneofl.7 acres trom C-C to C-
G. The Comprehensive Plan depicts the subject property as Commercial, in harmony with the
requested zoning designation. The applicant also requests a conditional use permit (CUP) for an
Automobile Repair Shop (Body Shop). Automobile Repair Shops are a conditional use in the C-G
zone. Ordinance defines Automotive Repair as "the repair, rebuilding or reconditioning of motor
vehicles or parts thereof, including collision service, painting and cleaning of vehicles."
The existing use on the site, Bobby's Transmission, is also deemed an AutQmobile Repair Shop.
However, under the current zoning of C-C, Automobile Repair Shops are technically prohibited,
making the existing use a legal non-confonning use. According to Ordinance 11-5-5.A "no existing
structure (devoted to a use not permitted by this Title in the district in which it is located) may be
enlarged, extended, constructed, reconstructed, moved or structurally altered except by conditional
use and except where the use of the structure changes to a use permitted in the district in which it is
located."
Since the applicant is proposing to tear down the existing automobile repair facility and construct a

Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
November 4,2004 (Hearing Date)
Page 2
new one, staffhas requested that the applicant clean up the current nonconfonning status by rezoning
the property to C-G and submitting a Conditional Use application for the project. The applicant has
complied with this request by submitting these applications. The proposed rezone will not constitute
a spot zone. It will add one lot to a continuous block of CoG over a mile long to the east.
Staff is in support of the rezone. It will clean up a long-standing nonconfonnance issue for the City.
Staff also supports the conditional use permit. Technically the use of the site is not changing-it is
going trom one type of automobile repair facility to another. With the new project, the existing
dilapidated structures will be replaced with a new facility, improved landscaping (the current site has
none), improved parking (much of the current parking is not paved), improved fire protection,
improved trash containment, and enhanced screening and buffering for surrounding properties.
The question of possible additional impacts is related to noiseftom the larger facility and fumes trom
the paint booths. The applicant should be prepared to discuss these issues and measures taken to
address these impacts.
LOCATION & SURROUNDING USES
The subject property is located on the north sideofFairview Ave., at21OE. Fairview, approximately
\4 mile east of Meridian Road. The following uses surround the subject property:
North - Vacant Land owned by Cherry Plaza Associates, zoned C-C and La Playa Manor
Estates Subdivision, zoned R-8.
South - Commercial properties, including Jack-in-the Box, zoned C-C and Rocky Mountain
Collision & RV Repair, zoned R-8.
East - Big 0 Tire, zoned CoG.
West - Commercial properties, including The Cigarette Store and Schuck's Auto Supply,
zoned CoCo
OWNER OF RECORD
The owner of record is the Bodine Family Trust, who has given consent for the applicant to submit
the requested applications.
STANDARDS FOR ZONING AMENDMENT
The Commission and Council shall 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 (11-15-11):
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;
RZ-04<J13, CUP-04<J42
Westside Body Works.RZ.CUP
Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council
November 4, 2004 (Hearing Date)
Page 3
Staff finds that the requested CoG zoning designation is in accord with the Comprehensive
Plan's Future Land Use Map, which delineates the subject property as "Commercial". The
text of the Comprehensive Plan (page 99) states that "this designation will provide a full
range of commercial and retail to serve area residents and visitors." The purpose of the C-G
zone per Ordinance 11-7-2.K, is to provide for commercial uses which are customarily
operated entirely or almost entirely within a building; to provide for a review of the impact of
proposed commercial uses which are auto and service oriented and are located in close
proximity to.. . arterial streets; [and] to fulfill the need of travel-related services as well as
retail sales for the transient and permanent motoring public."
B.
Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be re-zoned in the future;
Staff finds that the proposed re-zone and accompanying development plans comply with the
requested zone and staff does not anticipate that the property will be rezoned again in the
future.
c.
Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the fashion
that would be allowed under the new zoning;
Staff finds that the applicant has submitted detailed development plans for a Conditional Use
Permit for the property. Staff further finds that the proposed automobile repair facility will
only be allowed with the approval of a Conditional Use Pennit in the proposed C-G zone.
The proposed project meets the intent of the C-G zone, as defined in item A, above.
D.
Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that the area
should be rezoned;
The site has long been used as an automobile repair shop (transmission repair) which dictates
that the CoG zone would be more appropriate to clean up the existing nonconfonning use of
the property, as discussed in the project summary. Staff also finds that the City's
Comprehensive Plan provides the applicant with the ability to request the C-G zone for the
subject property.
E.
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;
Staff finds that the proposed development is designed in a manner that will be harmonious
with and appropriate in appearance with the existing surrounding land uses. The proposed
project will add street buffers, parking, trash enclosure, and perimeter landscaping all of
which do not currently exist on the site. Since the prior use is also related to automobile
repair, it will not change the essential character of the area.

F.
Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses;
Staff finds that the requested rezone should not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or
future neighboring uses, except as noted in item I below. As noted earlier in this report, the
project will clean up and improve a site currently devoid of landscaping or other site
improvements. However, staff has received calls trom concerned citizens and does
anticipate that their concerns will need to the addressed at the public hearing. Therefore, the
Commission and Council should consider all public testimony, oral and written, before
making this finding.
G.
Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways,
street, police, and fIre protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or
that the person responsible for. the establishment of proposed conditional use shall be
able to provide adequately any such service;
Staff finds that the proposed uses can be adequately served by all essential public services
and facilities. Fairview is a principal arterial street designed to handle high traffic volumes.
The applicant has met separately with the Fire Department and Sanitary Services to address
their needs. Water and sewer already exist to the site. All drainage will be retained on site.
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 the requested uses will not create excessive additional requirements at public
costs for public facilities and services. Additionally, staff finds that the proposed rezone
would not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment, and conditions that
will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive
production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff finds that the proposed auto body shop does involve processes that have the potential of
impacting surrounding properties with noise and fumes. The process of auto body work can
be noisy, but is planned to be fully contained in the proposed structure. The process of
painting involves potentially noxious paint fumes, but it is staff's understanding that the
facility will include air filtration systems that prevent air pollution to all federal standards.
The applicant should address the issues of noise and fumes and describe all measures taken
to address these potential impacts.
Will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not to
create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets;

Page 5
Staff finds that the proposed C-G zoning will not interfere with general traffic patterns on
any public streets. Please refer to the revised ACHD staff report for a full report on traffic
issues. One of the proposed curb cuts must be abandoned per ACHD comments. The
remaining curb cut will be aligned with 2 Y2 Street to minimize turning movement conflicts.
K.
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature ofmajor
importance.
Staff finds that there are no existing trees on site. No other natural or scenic features will be
lost or damaged by the project. The project does not encroach into the irrigation district's
50-foot wide easement along Five Mile Creek.
L.
Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City;
~tafffinds that the proposed rezone would be in the best interest of the City because it cleans
up an existing nonconfonning use issue and complies with the Comprehensive Plan.
SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS (Rezone)
I.

of the City of Meridian and State Tax Commission. Note that the corrected acreage for the
rezone is approximately 1.98 acres per the stamped legal description.
2.

spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by tbis ordinance;
The proposed building is 18,129 s.f. total. 2,200 s.f. is office and 15,929 s.£ is made up of
20 repair bays. Ordinance requires I parking space per 400 s.f. for office and 2 parking
spaces per service bay for motor vehicle repair. Thus, the office space requires 6 spaces and
the repair bays require 40 spaces, for a total of 46 required spaces. The proposed project has
55 parking spaces. Regarding landscaping, staff has agreed to support reducing the width of
the street buffers trom 25 feet to 23 feet through Alternative Compliance. 23 feet is the
approximate maximum continuous buffer the City is likely to get along this portion of
Fairview between the future right-of-way and the face of existing buildings, Perimeter and
internal landscaping requirements are met. Staff finds that the subject property, as depicted,
is large enough to accommodate the required parking, open spaces and landscaping required
by the ordinance.
C.
That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance;
The current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as Commercial.
Staff finds that if the modifications required in this report are done, the application will
meet the requirements of the Conditional Use and other Zoning Ordinances. See items A
and C under the Zoning Amendment Analysis.
D.
That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible with
other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character
of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential
character of the same area;
Staff finds the design concept to be compatible with the intended character of the area.
See item E under the Zoning Amendment Analysis.
That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed,
will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed development will have an adverse impact on
the surrounding property. However, the Commission and Council should consider any
testimony given at the public hearings before making this finding.
That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of
proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such services;

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
I.
Revised Plan: The applicant has submitted a revised site plan dated October 20, 2004.
During staff level review of the project, several issues were noted that the applicant has
already addressed in the revised plan. Modifications trom the original plan include:
. Two of the existing accesses have been abandoned per ACHD comments and the
remaining access has been slightly shifted to align with 2 Y> Street across Fairview.
. The north end of the landscape planter has been replaced with a drive aisle access, This
addresses the Fire Dept.'s concern about the long dead end drive aisle and also provides
SSC with better access to the trash enclosure.
. Trees were added in the perimeter landscape buffer around the northernmost parking
area.
. A perimeter buffer was added in the southwest comer.
. Islands have been added to break up the long row of parking.
. The trash enclosure has been offset 5 feet ITom 2-hour rated fire wall per Fire Dept.
requirements and the enclosure has been redesigned per SSC specifications.
. Back-out areas have been added next to the end of parking rows.

. The trees in the parking area have been changed ftom a prohibited conifer species to an
approved deciduous species.
2.
Alternative Compliance: Staffhas agreed to support reducing the width ofthe street buffers
ftom 25 feet to 23 feet through Alternative Compliance. 23 feet is the approximate
maximum continuous buffer the City is likely to get along this portion of Fairview between
the future right-of-way and the face of existing buildings. The Commission and Council
should consider the appropriateness of this modification. See condition #2 below,
3.
Pathway: The Comprehensive Plan shows a I O-foot wide multi-use pathway along Five Mile
Creek behind the proposed project. It has not yet been determined which side of the creek
the pathway will be on in this location. There are existing barriers on both sides of the creek.
Staff will work on a recommendation and bring it to the hearing for the Commission's
consideration.
4.
Rock Mulch: The applicant is proposing to use decorative crushed rock mulch in all planting
areas and around the base of the trees. Rock mulch is currently prohibited in these areas, but
the Commission recently recommended approval of an ordinance modification that would
allow the rock mulch. Approval of the rock as proposed is contingent on Council approval
of the proposed ordinance modification. If the ordinance is not passed by Council, the rock
mulch will have to be changed to organic mulch, such as bark. See condition #3 below.
5.
Parking Lavout: Minimum parking dimensions per ordinance are 9 x 19. As currently
drawn, some spaces do not meet this minimum dimension. On the south and east sides, there
is ample extra room in the adjacent drive aisles to accommodate the deeper stalls just by
painting the stalls longer. On the north side of the building, however, the space is currently
too tight to meet ordinance. In this location, staff would approve of allowing 17-foot deep
stalls along the north boundary with a2-foot overhang; the drive aisle should be widened to
25 feet, minimum; and the spaces adjacent to the building should be at least 19 feet deep.
This will require shifting the building slightly toward Fairview, but there appears to be plenty
of room in the ftont drive aisle (33 feet) to absorb this shift without a major revision of the
site plan. See condition #6 below.
SÜmage: The applicant has provided sign area calculations and show the intended location
for a future fteestanding sign. Staff notes that if no fteestanding sign is used, 18 % of the wall
area, or 380 s,f., may be used for wall signage; if a fteestanding sign is used, the wall sign
area is reduced to 9%, or 190 s.f. maximum. See Condition #8 below.
Noise & Fumes: Staffhas received calls ftom concerned citizens regarding potential impacts
ftom noise and fumes. The applicant should describe measures taken to address these
potential impacts for the Commission and Council as part of the public record,

Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program
Fairview Avenue is scheduled in the Capital Improvements Plan (#126) to be widened to 7 lanes from
Meridian Road to Maple Grove in 6 tQ 10 years.
Findings for Consideration
Right-ot-Way
Fairview Avenue
District policy requires 120-feet of right-of-way on principal arterial roadways (Figure 72-F3). This
right-of-way allows for the construction of a 7-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete
detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
There is approximately 60 to 62-feet of right-of-way existing abutting the site. No additional right-of-
way is required to be dedicated with this application.
Driveways
Location
District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of
35 to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
The applicant has proposed to close one of the three existing driveway on Fairview Avenue and
utilize the remaining two driveways. The driveway proposed to be closed is located approximately
95-feet east of the west property line. The driveway will be required to be closed with matching
vertical curb, gutter, and sidewalk. Staff is supportive of the closure of this driveway as the location
does not meet District offset policy.
The first driveway proposed to be retained is located approximately 3D-feet east of the west property
line. This driveway offsets a driveway on the south side of FaiMew Avenue by only 35-feet. This
driveway does NOT meet District policy and should be required to be closed with this application.
This driveway will be required to be closed with matching vertical curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
The second driveway proposed to be retained is located directly on the east property line. This
driveway is approximately in alignment with 2 U Street on the south side of FaiMew Avenue.
At the technical review meeting on October 22, 2004, the applicant and District staff agreed upon
closing the two westernmost driveways, and shifting the driveway on the east property line to directly
align with 2 U Street on the south side of Fairview Avenue. This agreement is in accordance with
District policy. The applicant has also offered to re-construct the sidewalk in its ultimate location.
This proposal meets District policy and the applicant has the option to either re-construct the sidewalk
in its existing IQcation or re-construct it at the back edge of the existing right-of-way.
Width
District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles
to a maximum width of 35-feet. Most commercial driveways will be constructed as curb-cut type
facilities if located on local streets. Curb retum type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for
driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
2.
3.
4
The existing driveways on Fairview Avenue are all curb-cut driveways, and they are each 40-feet in
width. District policy restricts commercial driveways to a maximum width of 35-feet, and requires that
commercial driveways be constructed as curb-retum type driveways when accessing collector and
arterial roadways. The driveway on the on the east property line is shared with Big-O Tires adjacent
to the east of this site. Big-O Tires utilizes that driveway for their semi-truck delivery vehicles.
Therefore, because the driveway is shared and it is not this site that is generating the need for the
wider driveway, District staff will grant a modification of policy to allow a 40-foot wide driveway.
However, it will need to be reconstructed as a curb return type driveway.
3.
Other Access
Fairview Avenue is classified as a principal arterial roadway. Other than the access specifically
approved with this application, direct access to Fairview Avenue will be prohibited.
4.
Commuteride
Alternative Transportation Program (ATP)
. In order to reduce trips to and from this development it is recommended that Tenants
occupying the proposed building be required to provide an Alternative Transportation Program
for employees and provide an annual report to ACHD on employee participation.

. In order to reduce trips to and from this development, it is recommended that the tenants
occupying the proposed building(s) be required to participate in any Transportation
Management Association (TMA) or Transportation Management Organization (TMO) that is
formed with a boundary that includes this site or is adjacent to this development.
A Transportation Management Association (TMA) or Transportation Management Organization

SPECIALTY ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC
123 E. 44TH STREET STF.. A
BO1SF., ID 83714
To Whom It May Concern:
As President of Specialty Environmental SeJVices, it is with my pleasure to delineate Park's Westside
Body Works environmental integrity. For the past 7 years, Park's Westside has been a valuable customer
to Specialty Environmental Services. Park's Westside has complied with every environmerrtaJ regulation
and every reporting obligation with our close technical assistance. As partners in environmental
compliance, tbey have not only maintained an excepbonaJ performance record with environmental
agencies, but are focusing on exceeding these requirement5. By doing so, we are very confident in their
compliance and desire to be environmentally friendly.
What makes Park's Westside stand above other 3IJto body shops is that they integrate environmental
responsibility into their business management philosophy. Environmental protection is a high priority
when making business decisions concerning new products and processes. For instance, when Park's
Wcstside is deciding upon a new cleaning product or a new method on cleaning parts, they are sure to
contact Specialty Environmental Services for consultation on any impact it may have on the health of
their employees and the environment. Decisions like these, more often than not, are only afterthoughts to
other companies in their industry.
Over the last 7 years Specialty Environmental Services has been doing business with Park's Westside, we
have assisted them on a monthly basis concerning any compliance questions, concerns or needs. We also
dispose of any paints and paint thinners thaI cannot be re-used. To reduce this waste, Specialty
Environmental instituted the belief to Park's Westside management to first reduce the amount of paint and
paint thinners used. Second, re.-use any paints and pa.i.ot thinners possible. And finally, any wastes that
cannot be reduced or re.-used by the company, Specialty Environmental aml.nges me waste to be re-used
in cement kilns as a "Waste Derived Fuel" to replace the use ofn9n-renewable resources such as coal, oil
and other tòssil fuels that normally fuel kilns, Using this methodology, Park's Westside has excelled in
pollutioD prevention, energy co.uservatioD aDd waste reduction iD thejr operarions.
Once again, T am honored to discuss Park's Westside Body Works environmental JUstory. 1 believe that
they are a business that should be commended for their environmental stewardship, not fi'owned upon as a
threat to the health of the community- Park's Westside will be a great addition to the small businesses in
tbe area lhal offer revenue and employment to the city with a conunitment to environmental integrity.
Thank you for your time,
~d~

Re: Council meeting on Proposed Auto Body Paint Shop
acrœs from Jack in the Box in Meridian
In response to a telephone calli received today from the office of Linda Rupe, I would like
to make the following comments.
I was slightly offended at the suggestion I was working for someone, As I mentioned, my
father was in the fuel oil business for 30 years. I know about dirty air and hazardous waste.
I realize it is a difficult concept for people who work in the government to grasp, but the
people of Meridian are sending a message ..... 19ud and cleer:
We don~ want any more pollution.
PERIOD,
The point is people DO object to noxious fumes and hazardous waste. It is a fact that
autobody paint shops are notorious for this. Air quality must be protected. Now we are forced to
FIGHT for it? If we screw around with the air quality and GOOF, we have done much more than
'goof!' Air is one of the elements we can't replace. When we can type in our computers, 'return
the air quality to 1964', hit 'send', and POOF, it's good again,
THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.
I have lived in Idaho my entire life, and it's easy to see what is happening to Ada County.
People are moving here by the droves, and why? To enjoy a lifestyle they have not had for
years, If we continue to pollute the air, It is possible we will ruin not only our property values, but
more importantly, our HEALTH. We can't afford to let this happen.
Page 1
Most people know what kind of hazardous waste is produced by an auto body paint shop.
In order to help keep Meridian as clean and desirable as possible, we. must choose the type of
businesses that do not pollute.
I volunteer for several entities in Ada County: Red Cross, St. Lukes, St. AI's, Paint the
Town, Nampa Stampede Breakfast as well as taught classes for Boise Schools Community
Education, for which I have received NO compensation, merely volunteering my time and skills
for projects I believe in. Nor am I or have I received any compensation for my interest in this
cause.
Protecting Meridian's air seemed important to me. I am asking you to VOTE NO to
rezoning the property In question and NO to the Conditional Use Permit.
