Request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to operate a beauty salon at 116 E. Pine Avenue, in an O-T zone, by Rodney Shaul (File No. CUP-O4-045). We have reviewed the aforementioned application and now otTer the following comments, and conditions of approvaL These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATION SUMMARY The applicant, Rodney Shaul has requested Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval to operate a beauty salon at 116 E. Pine Avenue. The applicant is proposing to convert an existing 964 square foot home, on a O.I6S-acre parcel, into a beauty salon business. The subject site is located on the north side of Pine Avenue, approximately 110- feet east of Main Street in the 0- T (Old Town) zone. The applicant is proposing to use the entire main floor for the salon; there will be no 24 hour occupants. The submitted site plan proposes 10 on-site parking stalls for the requested use. The parking lot is located of the alley in the rear of the property. The applicant is proposing to retain the existing gravel driveway to Pine Avenue. See the findings below regarding the proposed parking area and access. LOCATION The subject property is located at 116 E. Pine Avenue, within Section 7, Township 3 North, Range I East. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES North: Alley; Single-family homes, zoned O-T South: City parking lot, zoned 0- T West: Retail business, zoned O-T East: Retail business, zoned 0- T CURRENT OWNERS OF RECORD Rodney and Tamara Shaul are the current owners ofthe subject property and Rodney Shaul has submitted an affidavit oflegal interest for the application pertaining to the property. STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a conditional use permit if they shall find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3): A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by this ordinance; Parkin!!: . MCC 11-13-5.B.2 requires retail uses to provide Ion-site parking space for every 200 square feet of building (gross). Per this requirement, the applicant would be required to provide five (5) parking stalls (964 s.fbuilding/200 = 4.82 stalls) on the property. The submitted site plan depicts 10 on-site parking stalls. . MCC 11-13-3.A requires off-street parking facilities to be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley, in a manner which will least interfere with traffic movement. Goal IV, Objective D, Action 2, of the 2002 Meridian Comprehensive Plan states that access points and curb cuts on collectors and arterial streets should be restricted. The applicant is proposing to retain the existing gravel driveway to Pine Avenue, a classified roadway. This driveway does not meet the policies of the Ada County Highway District (ACHD), and the ACHD is requiring the driveway to be removed (see ACHD staff report). Because the existing driveway to Pine Averme does not meet the established policies of the ACHD, because this driveway may interfere with trqffic movement on Pine Averme, and because there is adequate vehicular access to this site from the alley, the applicant should be required to close the existing driveway to Pine Averme. . MCC 11-13-4.D requires all off-street parking areas to be paved in accordance with the standards established by the City. The applicant is proposing to pave a majority of the proposed parking area with asphaltic pavement. However, approximately 8-feet on either side of the parking area are proposed to be improved with gravel pave. Prior to submittal of the subject application, the applicant's engineer discussed the problems of retaining storm water ftom the impervious surfaces on such a small lot. Planning and Zoning as well as Public Works staff believe that the proposed gravel pave will look and function similar to the asphaltic concrete. The main difference between the two is that the gravel pave will be able to absorb stormwater runoff. Staff is supportive of the oroposed gravel pave as it is consistent with the oaving standards of the City. . MCC-13-11-2.B requires a five foot wide (minimum) perimeter landscape strip along all interior lot lines that are adjacent to parking, loading, or other paved vehicular use areas. Further, MCC 12-13-11-2.C requires the perimeter landscape strip to contain one tree per every 35 lineal feet, and also shrubs, lawn, or other vegetative groundcover. The applicant is only proposing a one-foot wide strip between the parking stalls and the property lines. Further, there is no landscaping proposed between the parking stalls and the property lines. In accordance with MCC, the applicant should be required to provide a minimum of 5-feet of landscaping acljacent to each side (east and west) of the proposed parking area (between the gravel pave and the property line). . . MCC 11-13-4.F requires 90-degree parking stalls to be 9-feet wide and 19-feet long adjacent to a 25-foot wide drive aisle. MCC 11-13-4-G does allow compact parking stalls at 7 Yz-feet wide by IS-feet long. The applicant is proposing 4 parking stalls along the west side of the parking area that are 17-feet long and 9- feet wide, with wheel stops. On the east side of the parking area, the applicant is proposing 6, 16-feet long by 7 Yz-feet wide stalls, with wheel stops. Do to the requirement in the above bullet, the parking as shown on the site plan does not meet the requirements of the City. In addition to the standards mentioned in the bullet above, staff has concerns regarding the lack of a turnaround for the last compact stall on the east side of the parking area, and the ratio of compact stalls to "standard" stalls (6:4). Typically the City allows up to 20% ora site's total parking stalls to be compact. This lot is only 60-feet wide and it is impossible to construct double loaded, 90-degree parking stalls that would comply with Meridian City Code. Staff recognizes that most parcels located in the 0- T district were not originally platted anticipating retail uses. In fact, when the subject properties on this side ofPine Street were originally configured, in 1901 with FA Nourse's First Addition to Meridian, the lots were 30-feet wide and 120-feet deep. These dimensions are not very conducive to providing off-street parking for non-residential uses. However, this site is 60-feet wide and the City has other options besides 90-degree stalls for meeting the required five on- site parking spaces (see MCC 11-13-4.F). Therefore, prior to the next public hearing on this item, stqffrecommends that the applicant revise the site plan to depict parkingfor the beauty salon use that complies with City Code. See Site Specific Condition # 1 below. LandscaDing: MCC 12-13-10-4 requires a 20-foot wide landscape buffer along Pine Avenue. Within this landscape buffer, MCC 12-13-10-6 requires one (1) tree to be planted for every35-feet of street frontage. This site has 60-feet of frontage on Pine Avenue. The existing building is set back approximately 23-feet from Pine Avenue, allowing plenty of room to provide the required butTer width and materials (2 trees and vegetative groundcover). There are three (3) existing trees, located within the required street buffer (front yard) adjacent to Pine Avenue. These trees should be retained. See Site Specific Condition #2 below. Staff finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate all required setbacks (yards), open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by the ordinance. However, the submitted site plan does not depict all features (parking) as required by ordinance and the site plan should be revised to reflect all features required by ordinance. B. 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 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the property as "Old Town" and the property is currently zoned 0- T. Staff finds that the requested use is consistent with the Future Land Use Map and the goals, objectives, and action items of the Comprehensive Plan. If the site plan is modified to reflect established parking requirements and the conditions of approval are complied with, staff finds that the project will be in compliance with the requirements established by ordinance. c. 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 that the proposed salon use will not change the existing or intended character of the general vicinity, and that the design, operation, and maintenance should be compatible with other uses in the Old Town neighborhood. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council reference any written or oral testimony provided at the public hearing, as well as staff's analysis, when determining if the proposed use will adversely change the character of the area. D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not adversely atTect other property in the vicinity; The conversion of a residence to a commercial use increases the need for parking. Parking demand has the potential to affect other property owners and businesses in the area. However, staff does not anticipate that this site will be a significant parking generator and adequate on-site parking can be provided. Therefore, staff does not anticipate that the proposed use will have any adverse effect on nearby properties. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council reference any writtèn or oral testimony provided at the public hearing, as well as staff's analysis, when determining if the proposed use will adversely affect other property in the vicinity. E. 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; All essential public facilities and City services listed above currently serve this site. Upgrading of sewerlwater service may be necessary to provide a level of service different ftom a residential use. On October 22, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with representatives of key service providers to this property. All of the detailed conditions ftom the Meridian Police Department, Meridian Fire Department, and other agencies/departments are at the end of this report. The Commission and Council should reference any written or verbal testimony submitted by the Meridian Police Department, the Meridian Fire Department, the Meridian Parks Department, and any other agency providing service to this site, regarding their ability to adequately service this project. Staff finds that the subject property can be served adequately by all essential public facilities and City services. F. That the proposed use 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; As noted in the finding above, all public facilities and services are currently provided to this site. All required site improvements will be funded and constructed by the applicant/developer. Staff finds that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community, nor will the use create the need for any new facilities or services to be paid for by the public. G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment, and conditions of operation 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 a salon use will create additional traffic on the adjacent roads. Further, the parking and maneuvering of cars and pedestrians may generate additional noise for surrounding properties. However, staff does not believe that the additional noise should be excessive. Staff finds that the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors, if all conditions are complied witIL H. That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets; Access to the site is currently provided ftom a gravel driveway on Pine Avenue, located on the east side of the property. Access to the alley is being proposed with this application. ACHD is supportive of access to the alley, but is requiring the applicant to improve (pave) the alley abutting the site and to the nearest street. The applicant is also being required by ACHD to remove the existing driveway to Pine Avenue (see ACHD staff report). The applicant is appealing ACHD's requirements for paving the alley and removing the access point to Pine Avenue. This appeal is not scheduled to be heard by the ACHD Commission until December 1, 2004. Regardless of the outcome of the ACHD appeal hearing, staff believes that access to Pine Avenue should be prohibited. The City too has policies regarding access points to classified roadways and staff does not believe that it is in the best interest of the City to allow the applicant to retain the subject access to Pine Avenue when the driveway is so close to a signalized intersection (approximately ISO-feet from Main Street) and access can be provided from the alley (see Site Specific Condition #3 below). lfparking is designed in conformance with the City's requirements, and the applicant complies with all of the City's and ACHD's requirements, staff finds that the proposed use will not create significant interference with any traffic on the surrounding public streets or alleys. I. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance. Staff is not aware of any natural or scenic feature(s) that would be lost, damaged or destroyed by allowing the proposed use to operate on this site. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS L ~: MCC 11-14 does not establish specific standards for signs in the O-T zone. Therefore, staff typically requests that new businesses in Old Town provide information regarding signage with each CUP application so the anticipated signs can be reviewed. The applicant has provided some conceptual sign designs for this site. However, the applicant has not specified the location of the sign(s), the height of the sign(s), or the square footage of the sign(s). Therefore, staff recommends that any signage for this site be restricted to the dimensional standards outlined in Table C, ofMCC 11-14-10, with a further restriction that the maximum height for a free-standing sign be 6-feet. Staff further recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council review the proposed signs and determine whether or not the signs are appropriate. See Site Specific Condition #4 below.

Idaho Meridian, Idaho 83642 Mr. Hood: I recently spoke with Sonya in your absence regarding the application for a salon to be located at 116 R Pine Street. As I understand it, you are looking for mainly conceptual ideas about the intended signjs for this location. At this point in time, a final rendering has not been fully developed for the graphic and wording, however I have attached several "ideas" which I hope will suffice until we submit for an actual sign permit. It is our intent to maintain the "old town" appeal and to incorporate that theme into the signage. The business will have a "cottage" look to it which we think will enhance and add to the area and business overall. The materials are proposed to be wood products with paint and vinyl for wording and graphics. There is no illumination proposed. The only wall signs will be wording directly applied to the door or a plaque beside the door to identify the business and hours of operation. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or if I can be of service to you.

Pine Ave. in Meridian, Idaho. The reason for this additional letter, after discussing the issue with Ms. Richardson, is to explain the intent of the project and why we are involved in it. My wife and I are not developers or contractors and the reason we have chosen to take on this project is because of my sister Tammy Ward, who for the past 15 years has owned and operated Looks Unlimited Salon located at 303 W. Cherry Lane in Meridian, Idaho. Tammy's lease is up in April of 2005 and she is being required to move. Under normal circumstances this would be no big deal, however, in April of 2003 Tammy was injured in a fall resulting in her being diagnosed as a quadriplegic, in addition to this unfortunate accident she then had to endure a divorce, after twenty-four years of marriage. Both of these life-altering events have created considerable financial and emotional hardship. My wife and I have taken an active interest in this situation because we care a great deal about Tammy. We would like to help her continue to be a functional part of our community by providing an affordable location to continue the business that she currently owns and operates. Our hope is that she will be able to provide for herself and her daughter by operating her business regardless of whether or not she is physically able to do the work she did before her accident. Our goal in taking on this project is to create an environment, with the help of the Vocational Rehabilitation Service, that Tammy can continue to be self- supporting and maybe some~y go back to what she loves so much - cutting and styling. In purchasing this property We have incurred many additional fees and limitations which we did not initially anticipate. We are financially limited due to the fact that we have taken on an additional mortgage and spent most of our savings in trying to meet all of the conditions and pay all of the fees involved in opening a business in the ~Old Town Revitalization District". Please take the above situation in to consideration in your decision regarding the imposed requirements of the staff report. Thank you for your time in this matter.

At this point in time, a final rendering has not been fully developed for the graphic and wording, however I have attached several "ideas" which I hope will suffice until we submit for an actual sign permit. It is our intent to maintain the "old town" appeal and to incorporate that theme into the signage. The business will have a "cottage" look to it which we think will enhance and add to the area and business overall. The materials are proposed to be wood products with paint and vinyl for wording and graphics. There is no illumination proposed. The only wall signs will be wording directly applied to the door or a plaque beside the door to identify the business and hours of operation. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or if! can be of service to you. Sincerely, /J". c:k~ ~erson Sales Manger
