It has been moved and seconded to continue H-2018-0033 to May 17th. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. TWO ABSENT. B. Public Hearing for Calvary Chapel (H-2018-0031) by Calvary Chapel Meridian, Located at 3600 W. Nelis Ave. 1. Request: A Conditional Use Permit for a Church on 8.36 Acres of Land in the I-L Zoning District McCarvel: So, we will move on to open the public hearing for H-2018-0031, Calvary Chapel, and we will begin with the staff report. Allen: Thank you, Madam Chair. The first application before you tonight is a request for a conditional use permit -- and let me get on the right slide here. This site consists of 8.36 acres of land. It's zoned I-L, light industrial, located at 3600 West Nelis Avenue. Adjacent land use and zoning. To the north is the city's wastewater treatment plant, zoned I-L. To the west is vacant land owned by the city for a future water reservoir, zoned C-N and agricultural land zoned RUT in Ada county. To the south is vacant, undeveloped land, zoned C-G. And to the east is also vacant, undeveloped land, zoned I-L. This property was annexed back in 2004 and included in the subdivision plat for McNelis Subdivision. The Comprehensive Plan future land use map designation is mixed use, nonresidential. The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit for a church in the I-L zoning district. The site plan submitted depicts a 28,000 square foot church, with access via a local street within the subdivision. Parking, drive aisles, a large grassy area with a walking path, provided -- providing a connection from Nelis Avenue to the pathway along the west and north property boundaries and a future parking area. Several conceptual building elevations were submitted with this application as shown that demonstrate what the future building may look like. The structure is proposed to be two stories in height to allow for a high ceiling height in the main worship area with offices, meeting rooms, et cetera, above. Building materials are proposed to consist of a mix of materials, including glass, stucco, metal panels and stone-type materials on the front facade, with the goal of using common materials in uncommon ways. For example, texture, pattern, orientation to provide visual interest. The future structure is required to comply with the design standards listed in the UDC and the Architectural Standards Manual. Staff is recommending the commercial standards, rather than industrial apply to the proposed structure due to the type of use Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 17, 2018 – Page 6 of 108 Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 3, 2018 Page 4 of 11 proposed and the commercial properties and uses to the south and the east. Written testimony has been received from Ed Mechtel, the applicant. He is requesting the project be held to the industrial design standards, rather than the commercial design standards as recommended by staff. Staff is recommending approval of the subject conditional use permit and stands for any questions. McCarvel: Okay. Any questions for staff? Perreault: Madam Chair? McCarvel: Commissioner Perreault. Perreault: Could you give us -- or give -- well, give all of us an idea of some examples of the differences between the commercial and industrial standards? Allen: Chairman, Commissioner Perreault, yes. A lot of times the industrial standards allow for more of the big box warehouse type uses that are typical in industrial areas. A lot of times industrial buildings will have more metal materials used. They won't have as much articulation, modulation, varying roof heights, that kind of thing. The elevations that are shown before you I -- I don't see any obvious issues with meeting the commercial standards. I think the applicant was just a little concerned that it might end up possibly costing more money. I don't really want to speak for the applicant, but he can address his reasons for -- for that request. Perreault: Thank you. McCarvel: Any other questions? I see our applicant has come forward. And, please, state your name and address for the record. Mechtel: My name is Ed Mechtel. I represent Calvary Chapel in Meridian. The address is 1550 South Tech Lane, Meridian, Idaho. 83642. McCarvel: Okay. Mechtel: And I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to represent our church here this evening and I'm going to speak only to our industrial standard and commercial standards concerns. I am grateful that the project has been recommended for approval and grateful for the help we have received from the staff here. They have been very supportive. So, I sent the staff this particular return and I have five reasons on here that we are asking to stay in industrial zoning. One is that the lot in particular question is industrial zoned at this time and was moved to that particular zoning in 2012 when there was an amendment to the development agreement with the City of Meridian and the owner. So, the whole pretense I believe was a mixed zoning development to begin with and so as you can see you -- and just as staff has reported, the sewer treatment plant borders us to the north and additional industrial zoning properties border us to the east and northeast. There is commercial zoning properties directly east and across Nelis Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 17, 2018 – Page 7 of 108 Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 3, 2018 Page 5 of 11 Avenue to this particular parcel. Due to the position of the building on the lot we have been asked to create an enlarged zone of landscaping to kind of conceal the parking and make the project look nicer and given that request we feel like the building won't very well be seen much at all from the public or from the street and think that we would like to have a little bit more flexibility in the industrial zoning standards. The particular project right now is -- is the cost of about 5.5 million dollars and we would like to minimize any budgetary impact over and above that in the project and while I can't really say that that's exactly what would happen, we would like the freedom to be able to, you know, be cost-effective. As you can see by the elevations submitted we are not trying to create a box-type of building. We want it to be very appealing and we want it to be, you know, an enhancement to the subdivision. Although the lots southeast and south are zoned commercial, the overall project, both building and landscaping, will be an enhancement to the subdivision and the future development opportunities there and it's our intention to create a very nice building. We are not looking for a square box. We want it to be appealing and we want it to be something that the City of Meridian and the citizens that come to our church and those that will be coming to our church would really enjoy and be beneficial. I would also like to cite -- in the beginning of the standards manual -- it's actually on page A-4, there is two things here that are mentioned and -- that you can -- design standards exception is what it says in this heading. In the second bullet down there it says does strict adherence to the standards create inconsistency in the design objective of the proposed development and we just kind of feel like the mixed use and mixed zoning in the development was attractive to us to begin with and that we really feel like it would just not be detrimental to appearance or the development of the property to remain in the I-L zone and to be able to stick to the industrial standards in the design manual. That's all I have got. McCarvel: Thank you. Are there any questions for the applicant? Okay. I do not have anybody signed up on the sheet that indicates that they would wish to testify, but is there anyone in the room that wishes to testify on this application? Okay. Last chance at any questions for the applicant. Okay. So, at this time could I get a motion to close the public hearing for Item H-2018-0031? Cassinelli: So moved. Holland: Second. McCarvel: It has been moved and seconded to close the public hearing for Item H-2018-0031. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. TWO ABSENT. McCarvel: I personally think it's a great use of the property. I'm glad to see it. I -- I would be somewhat in support of the staff of having that -- I mean just because they have already presented such beautiful facades, I think they are already in that commercial -- I mean at least at the front of the building, because the back of the building, obviously, isn't going to be seen by anybody but the storage lot on the other Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 17, 2018 – Page 8 of 108 Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 3, 2018 Page 6 of 11 side. But that entryway I think is beautiful, so I don't know what exactly -- how the rest of the Commission feels about putting some teeth into that and making that just -- since it is a transit -- it is a transitional lot between other commercial and the industrial next to it, with -- out in front of it is a commercial subdivision, which I think they have presented a beautiful -- beautiful façade options. Yearsley: So, are you thinking we should hold to the standard of the commercial or allow him the industrial? McCarvel: Is it possible to have commercial on the front of the building and allow them to do what they want on the back? Allow more flexibility -- allow that commercial -- or industrial look to the back of the building? Allen: Yes, Madam Chair. That -- design standards really aren't applicable when the building or part of the building isn't viewable from the public street or a public space. If you would like to specifically, you know, state that the commercial standard should apply to the front, though, that's -- that's perfectly fine. Cassinelli: Madam Chair? McCarvel: Commissioner Cassinelli. Cassinelli: I -- to me it seems fine to -- to go with industrial. I don't -- I think their plan -- their intent is to not have, you know, four-sided, tilt-up concrete walls and want to make it attractive. They want to -- you know, they want to have some -- some beauty there. It's tucked back in behind other commercial and like was brought up, it backs up to the wastewater treatment plant and a storage unit. So, where it's located I think -- I think the industrial -- I like what I have seen and to keep it in the industrial design standards I think it will -- I think it will look good and it will fit in well. McCarvel: Yeah. Holland: Madam Chair? McCarvel: Commissioner Holland. Holland: I tend to agree. I don't see that their -- the way that they have presented it I don't see a concern whether it's industrial versus commercial. I think the project seems like a pretty good fit and it's tucked away from the street, so it's not going to be a -- a major frontage issue by any means. I guess I'm okay with it either way as well. McCarvel: Yeah. It just seems like the -- you know, if it -- if they have maybe some verbiage that it's similar to the example shown or something. But it -- you know, it's industrial zoning, so I think -- Yearsley: Madam Chair? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 17, 2018 – Page 9 of 108 Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 3, 2018 Page 7 of 11 McCarvel: Commissioner -- okay. Yearsley: I think I would have a tendency to lean to allow them the industrial use. Interestingly enough, there is a church on Meridian Road south of the interstate that's actually a tilt-up -- concrete tilt-up wall building. It actually looks very nice. I mean it's right there against Meridian Road and they have actually done a very good job making that look really good. So, I think there is ways that they have the flexibility to make it look good and actually try to keep their costs down as well. So, given where it's at and the fact that it will be set back quite a ways -- and I do think that they will try to make the entrance feature more attractive to -- for their patrons, so I would be in favor of allowing them their industrial. McCarvel: Okay. Perreault: Madam Chair? McCarvel: Commissioner Perreault. Perreault: I agree with my fellow Commissioners. So, long as it's similar and like in kind to these renderings I think it will -- it will be great and it is far enough off -- off of Ustick that I wouldn't have concerns about it. Holland: Madam Chair? McCarvel: Commissioner Holland. Holland: I will attempt to make a motion. McCarvel: Okay. Holland: After considering all staff, applicant, and public testimony, I move to approve file number H-2018-0031, as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of May 3rd, 2018, with the following modification: That the staff recommendation for commercial standards be struck and the -- the application could look at industrial standards with a note that they would be similar to the presentation that we received today at the Council meeting. McCarvel: Okay. Cassinelli: Second. McCarvel: It has been moved and seconded to approve H-2018-0031 with modifications. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? Motion carries. Congratulations. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. TWO ABSENT. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 17, 2018 – Page 10 of 108 Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 3, 2018 Page 8 of 11 C. Public Hearing for Zimmerman Auto Body (H-2018-0029) by Brian Zimmerman located at 1775 W. Pine Ave. 1. Request: Annexation and Zoning of a total of 1.12 Acres of Land with the I-L (0.72 Acres) and R-8 (0.42 Acres) Zoning Districts McCarvel: Okay. So, we will move on and open H-2018-0029, Zimmerman Auto Body, and we will begin with the staff report. Allen: Madam Chair, Commissioners, the next application before you is a request for annexation and zoning. The site consist of 1.13 acres of land. It's zoned R-1 in Ada county and located at 1775 West Pine Avenue. The Comprehensive plan future land use map designation is medium density residential as shown on the future land use map on the left there. The abutting property to the south is designated General Industrial. Because the future land use map is a vision for a built-out Meridian and contains a variety of very diverse land uses and it's not necessarily parcel specific, staff is recommending the General Industrial designation on the abutting property to the south is floated to the .72 of an acre portion of the site proposed to be rezoned to I-L. The applicant is proposing to annex three parcels of land totaling 1.3 acres with R-8, which is .42 of an acre, and I-L, which is .72 of an acre, zoning districts consistent with the future land use map designations of medium density residential and the floated General Industrial. There is an existing home and accessory structure used as an auto body shop on the property as shown on the site plan. The applicant's narrative states he's lived in the home and operated the auto body shop since 1999. The shop operates approximately three to four days a week and all power tools are used inside the shop, so as not to disturb the adjacent neighbors. Vehicles serviced by the shop are immediately moved behind the fence and are kept there until the repair work is completed and the owner picks up the vehicle. In 2000 the subject property was hooked up to city water and sewer service, but was never annexed. The reason the applicant is requesting annexation into the city at this time is because of violations in Ada county related to not being approved to operate the auto body shop at his residence in the R-1 zoning district. Because the current parcel configuration does not allow the home to comply with the minimum rear setback standards in the R-8 district, staff is recommending the applicant submit and obtain approval of a property boundary adjustment application to enlarge the residential parcel proposed to be zoned R-8, so that the setback can be accommodated, and combine the narrow parcel along the west boundary of the site with the larger parcel proposed to be zone I-L. The proposed zoning boundary is consistent with the future parcel lines. Because letters have been submitted from adjacent homeowners, which are indicated by all the red dots on the map on the right there, they are in agreement with the proposed annexation and continued use of the property as is. Staff is not recommending compliance with any current development standards. However, if redevelopment occurs in the future, the development standards in effect at that time will apply, including, but not limited to, provision of cross-access to adjacent properties to the east and the land used buffers to Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 17, 2018 – Page 11 of 108 Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 3, 2018 Page 9 of 11 residential uses and districts. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed annexation and zoning, with a development agreement that restricts the use of the property to the existing uses and requires a modification to the agreement for any expansion of the existing use or change in use to another industrial use. Written letters of testimony from adjacent property owners, as I mentioned, are included in the application. Staff will stand for any questions. McCarvel: Any questions for staff? Would the applicant like to come forward. Would you, please, state your name and address for the record. Madsen: Sure, Commissioners. My name is Kylie Madsen. I represent the Zimmermans regarding this matter. I don't have too much to add. McCarvel: We need your address. Madsen: Oh, I'm sorry. Zimmerman: 1775 West Pine. McCarvel: Into the microphone. He's got to -- Zimmerman: 1775 West Pine and there is 1785 West Pine. McCarvel: Okay. Thank you. Madsen: I don't have too much to add to Sonya's presentation, although I will mention that the applicant is an agreement with the recommendations by the city, including they would agree to sign the development agreement to that -- when that is available and ready when that time comes and as you mentioned before the Zimmermans have sought and obtained the approval of this proposal from pretty much all of their neighbors and save one that you can see on that map that is being rented currently. So, we would love to entertain questions if there is any for us. McCarvel: Any questions for the applicant? All right. Zimmerman: Thank you. McCarvel: Thank you very much. Okay. We would normally take public testimony at this time, but there is nobody that has indicated that they wish to testify, but is there anybody in the room that would like to do so at this time? Okay. Again one more stab at questions for the applicant. All right. Then could I get a motion to close the public hearing for H-2018-0029? Perreault: So moved. Holland: Second. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 17, 2018 – Page 12 of 108 Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 3, 2018 Page 10 of 11 McCarvel: It has been moved and seconded to close the public hearing on H-2018- 0029. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. TWO ABSENT. Yearsley: Madam Chair? McCarvel: Commissioner Yearsley. Yearsley: It's been so long since I have been here you forgot who I am. You know, I think the staff has done a very good job identifying issues and making appropriate recommendations, especially with cleaning up the lot lines and making sure that the zoning fits the use. So, with that I -- I don't see, you know, where they reached out to their neighbors and no one's really come out and said we don't like this and they have been in business for so long, I don't see an issue with approving this application. McCarvel: Yeah. I agree. I think it's a testament to, obviously, the way he handles his business that he's got so much support surrounding him and especially since he's -- they are there already hooked up with city sewer and water, I think it's appropriate that it be annexed and if we can take care of a couple minor issues with some property adjustment and cleaning it all up, I think it's a great addition to the City of Meridian. Perreault: Madam Chair? McCarvel: Commissioner Perreault. Perreault: I agree with the staff's recommendation regarding the DA and I think that's a wise choice for -- just to make sure that his use is protected in the future use and as long as the applicant is compliant -- willing to be compliant with that I don't see any concerns. Cassinelli: It sounds like everybody is happy. Holland: Sounds good. McCarvel: Then would somebody like to make a motion? Cassinelli: Madam Chair? After considering all staff, applicant, and public testimony, I move to recommend approval to the City Council of file number H-2018-0029 as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of May 3rd, 2018, with the modification to have the signed approval of a DA. Holland: Second. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 17, 2018 – Page 13 of 108 Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 3, 2018 Page 11 of 11 McCarvel: It has been moved and seconded to approve H-2018-0029. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? Motion carries. Congratulations. Welcome to the City of Meridian. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. TWO ABSENT. McCarvel: Who would like the honors? Yearsley: Madam Chair? McCarvel: Commissioner Yearsley. Yearsley: I move that we adjourn. Holland: Second. McCarvel: It has been moved and seconded to adjourn the meeting for May 3rd. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? Motion carries. MEETING ADJOURNED AT 6:32 P.M. (AUDIO RECORDING ON FILE OF THESE PROCEEDINGS.)

Commissioner, yeah, the reason we would like to continue it is we are just not quite ready. We were kind of -- we got it to a point and we are not meeting the open space requirements and, you know, we want to provide a -- a nice quality development with lots of amenities. It's a -- it's geared towards 55 and older. If you're familiar with La Mirada, it's on Meridian close to Chinden, that's what we are aiming for is something of that nature and -- and so we just haven't worked out all the details. Have been working with staff a little bit and we have a meeting next week with staff to work through some of those details and make sure that we are meeting all the requirements and can be good neighbors. We have had the initial public hearing and know that it's a -- going to be a sensitive topic and -- because it has been a farm field for many years. A lot of the adjacent homes are -- lots are -- are larger and they have -- they are used to having it as a field. You know, it's been like that for I think 30 years or so, you know, we want to be sensitive to that and, you know, I know that one of our goals is to make sure that all the homes are single story and so that you don't have the adjacency problem of -- of having a two story looking down into the -- the neighbors and that sort of thing. So, just need a little more time. Perreault: Thank you. Are you in agreement with continuing until the 17th of May? Breckon: Yes. Perreault: Okay. Do you have any questions? Fitzgerald: Chris, just for the record, this is the first time that the applicant has requested a continuance; correct? Johnson: Yes. This is the first request. Fitzgerald: Thank you. Perreault: Thank you. Thank you very much. Breckon: Okay. Perreault: Do the Commissioners have any questions for Bill? I know he stepped out for a moment. Fitzgerald: Madam Chair, I think we are in a situation where not all the -- it's not soup yet. We have got a lot of information that's missing. The applicant is still working with staff and to make sure all parties get a chance to be heard in a finished product.

APPROVED" -�& //,, Q /-tC(C� R ONDA McCARVEL - CHAIRMAN ., ATTE C.' JAY CO 4. - CITY CLERK 513 I /g DATE APPROVED Item #4C: Zimmerman Auto Body - AZ (H-2018.0029) Application(s): ➢ Annexation & Zoning Size of property, existing zoning, and location: This site consists of 1.13 acres of land, zoned R1 in Ada County, located at 1775 W. Pine Ave. Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: MDR; the abutting property to the south is designated General Industrial (GI). Because the FLUM is a vision for a built out Meridian and contains a variety of very diverse land uses and is not necessarily parcel specific, staff recommends the GI designation on the abutting property is "floated" to the 0.72 of an acre portion of the site proposed to be rezoned to I -L. Summary of Request: The applicant proposes to annex three 3 parcels of land totaling 1.13 acres with R-8 (0.42 of an acre) and I -L (0.72 of an acre) zoning districts consistent with the FLUM designations of MDR & GI. There is an existing home & accessory structure used as an auto body shop on the property as shown on the site plan. The applicant's narrative states he's lived in the home and operated the auto body shop since 1999. The shop operates approximately 3-4 days a week and all power tools are used inside the shop so as not to disturb the adjacent neighbors. Vehicles serviced by the shop are immediately moved behind the fence and are kept there until the repair work is completed and the owner picks up the vehicle. In 2000, the subject property was hooked up to City water and sewer service but was never annexed. The reason the applicant is requesting annexation into the City at this time is because of violations in Ada County related to not being approved to operate the auto body shop at his residence in the R1 zoning district. Because the current parcel configuration does not allow the home to comply with the minimum rear setback standards of the R-8 district, Staff recommends the applicant submit and obtain approval of a PBA application to enlarge the residential parcel proposed to be zoned R-8 so that the setback can be accommodated; and combine the narrow parcel along the west boundary of the site with the larger parcel proposed to be zoned I -L. The proposed zoning boundary is consistent with the future parcel lines. Because letters have been submitted from adjacent homeowners (indicated by the red dots) in agreement with the proposed annexation and continued use of the property as -is, staff is not recommending compliance with any current development standards. However, if redevelopment occurs in the future, the development standards in effect at that time will apply, including but not limited to: provision of cross -access to adjacent properties and land use buffers to residential uses/districts. Staff Recommendation: Approval with a DA that restricts the use of the property to the existing uses & requires a modification to the agreement for any expansion of the existing use or change in use to another industrial use. Written Testimony: Letters from adjacent property owners included in the application Notes: Possible Motions: Approval After considering all staff, applicant and public testimony, I move to recommend approval to the City Council of File Number H- 2018-0029, as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of May 3, 2018, with the following modifications: (Add any proposed modifications). Denial After considering all staff, applicant and public testimony, I move to recommend denial to the City Council of File Number H-2018- 0029, as presented during the hearing on May 3, 2018, for the following reasons: (You should state specific reasons for denial) Continuance I move to continue File Number H-2018-0029 to the hearing date of (insert continued hearing date here) for the following reason(s): (You should state specific reason(s) for continuance.)

Existing Land Use(s) and Zoning: The subject property consists of vacant/undeveloped land, zoned I-L. B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: North: Wastewater treatment plant, zoned I-L West: Vacant land owned by the City for a future water reservoir, zoned C-N; and agricultural land, zoned RUT in Ada County South: Vacant/undeveloped land, zoned C-G East: Vacant/undeveloped land, zoned I-L C. History of Previous Actions: • On July 13, 2004, this property received the following approvals:  Annexation and zoning (AZ-04-004) of 34.6 acres of land from the RUT zoning district in Ada County to the I-L, L-O, and C-G zoning districts (Ordinance No. 04-1090). A development agreement (Instrument No. 104093293) was required as a as a provision of annexation.  Preliminary Plat (PP-04-004) consisting of 16 commercial building lots and 5 common lots on 34.6 acres of land. On June 7, 2005, a one year time extension (TE-05-003) to submit the final development plan for McNelis Subdivision was approved by the Director. • In 2005, a final plat (FP-05-047) was approved that included the subject property (i.e. Lot 4, Block 2, McNelis Subdivision). • In 2010, the following applications were approved:  An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (CPAM-10-002) to change the future land use designation on this property (and the larger McNelis Subdivision) from Mixed Use – Community (MU-C) to Mixed Use – Non Residential (MU-NR);  Rezone (RZ-11-001) of 0.43 of an acre of land from the L-O to the I-L zoning district; and,  Development agreement modification (MDA-11-002) for McNelis Subdivision to update the zoning of the property and the uses allowed; update the owner information; and Calvary Church Meridian – CUP H-2018-0031 PAGE 2 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 3, 2018 – Page 12 of 42 remove the requirement for a conditional use permit on lots that abut Ustick Rd., Ten Mile Rd., and/or the Nine Mile Creek (Inst. #112054621). D. Utilities: 1. Public Works: a. Location of sewer: Sewer service was provided to this lot with the development of the subdivision. b. Location of water: Water service was provided to this lot with the development of the subdivision. c. Issues or concerns: None E. Physical Features: 1. Canals/Ditches Irrigation: The Five Mile Creek borders the north boundary of the site and the Ninemile Creek borders the west boundary of the site. 2. Hazards: Staff is not aware of any hazards that exist on this site except that the creek along the north boundary of the site is open which may present a danger to young children. 3. Flood Plain: This site is not within a floodplain or floodway. VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates this site as Mixed Use – Non Residential (MU-NR). The purpose of the MU-NR designation is to set aside areas where new residential dwellings will not be permitted, as residential uses are not compatible with the planned and/or existing uses in the these areas. See pages 31-33 in the Comprehensive Plan for more information. The applicant proposes to develop this 8.36 acre site with a church, consistent with the MU-NR designation. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the proposed use (staff analysis in italics): • “Permit Schools, churches, and other public and civic uses in rural areas, that are compatible with adjacent uses.” (3.05.02E) The church is proposed to be located in a rural area of the City; as such, staff is of the opinion it will be compatible with existing agricultural, wastewater treatment plant, future water reservoir, commercial and industrial uses. • “Require industrial areas to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses (e.g., landscape, fences, etc.) and community design criteria.” (3.06.01A) This area has a mix of industrial and commercial zoned land which is only partially developed at this time. Staff is of the opinion the proposed site design and future building will be compatible with existing and future uses in this area. The design of the structure is required to comply with the design standards in the Architectural Standards Manual. • “Improve and protect creeks (i.e. Fivemile Creek) throughout commercial, industrial and residential areas.” (5.01.01E) The Five Mile Creek runs along the north boundary of this site and should be protected during construction. Calvary Church Meridian – CUP H-2018-0031 PAGE 3 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 3, 2018 – Page 13 of 42 • “Require pedestrian access connectors in all new development to link subdivisions together to promote neighborhood connectivity as part of a community pathway system.” (3.03.03B) There is an existing multi-use pathway along the north and west boundaries of this site that was constructed with the subdivision. This pathway will provide for pedestrian access to the proposed church from nearby residential neighborhoods. • “Preserve and protect industrial lands for continued industrial use.” (3.06.01I) This property is industrially zoned but has sat vacant for several years and has not developed. Although the proposed use is not industrial in nature, it is listed in the UDC as a conditional use in the I-L zoning district. • “Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City.” (3.01.01F) City services were provided to each lot as a provision of the subdivision in accord with UDC 11- 3A-21. VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE A. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the I-L district is to provide for convenient employment centers of light manufacturing, research and development, warehousing, and distributing. In accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, the I-L District is intended to encourage the development of industrial uses that are clean, quiet and free of hazardous or objectionable elements and that are operated, entirely, or almost entirely, within enclosed structures. Accessibility to transportation systems is a requirement of this district. B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) 11-2C-2 lists the permitted, accessory, conditional, and prohibited uses in the I-L zoning district. A church is listed as a conditional use in the I-L district; compliance with the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-6, Church or Place of Religious Worship, is required. C. Dimensional Standards: The dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2C-3 for the I-L zoning district apply to development of this site. IX. ANALYSIS A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: The applicant has submitted an application for a conditional use permit (CUP) for a 28,000+/- square foot church on 8.36 acres of land in the I-L zoning district, as required by UDC Table 11- 2C-2. Site/Landscape Plan: A site/landscape plan is included in Exhibit A.2 that depicts how the site is proposed to develop with a 28,000+/- square foot structure, future phases, parking, drive-aisles, access, and a large grassy area with a walking path providing a connection from Nelis Ave. to the pathway along the west and north boundaries of the site. Access: Access is proposed to this site via one driveway via Nelis Ave. Parking: Off-street parking is required to be provided on the site in accord with UDC Table 11- 3C-6B. The number of spaces is typically determined by the district. However, in this case because the proposed use is more commercial than industrial in nature, staff recommends the commercial standards apply to ensure adequate parking is provided for the use. Calvary Church Meridian – CUP H-2018-0031 PAGE 4 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 3, 2018 – Page 14 of 42 Based on the square footage of the proposed building (i.e. 28,000 square feet), a minimum of 56 parking spaces are required to be provided based on one space per 500 square feet of gross floor area (vs. 1 space per 2,000 square feet in industrial districts). A total of 207 spaces are proposed with an additional area delegated for future parking. Bicycle parking is also required to be provided on the site at a minimum of one space for every 25 vehicle spaces proposed or portion thereof as set forth in UDC 11-3C-6G in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-5C. Based on 2017 vehicle parking spaces, a minimum of 9 bicycle parking spaces are required. One bicycle rack is depicted on the plat near the entrance of the building. A detail of the rack should be submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application to ensure compliance with the aforementioned standards and should have room for the minimum number of bicycle spaces. Landscaping: Landscaping is required to be installed on the site in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B. A 10-foot wide street buffer is required along Nelis Ave., a local street, as set forth in UDC Table 11-2B-3, landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. Parking lot landscaping is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-8C. Landscaping is required along pathways as set forth in UDC 11-3B-12C. A minimum 5-foot wide strip of landscaping is required along either side of the pathways on the site. Trash Enclosure: A trash enclosure is depicted on the site plan near the southeast corner of the building. A detail of the enclosure should be submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application. The applicant should coordinate with Republic Services on the design and location of the enclosure. Specific Use Standards: The proposed use is subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-6, Church or Place of Religious Worship, as follows: “Schools, child daycare services, meeting facilities for clubs and organizations, and other similar uses not operated primarily for the purpose of religious instruction, worship, government of the church, or the fellowship of its congregation may be permitted to the extent the activity is otherwise permitted in the district.” Sidewalk: A sidewalk exists along the frontage of this property on W. Nelis Drive in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17. Pathway: A pathway is not depicted on the Pathways Master Plan for this site. However, the Park’s Department recommends a pathway is provided within a public use easement for a pedestrian connection between Nelis Ave. and the existing multi-use pathway along the west boundary of the site as proposed. Hours of Operation: The development agreement restricts hours of operation on the site to the hours between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm as set forth in the development agreement unless otherwise approved through a conditional use permit. The applicant is in agreement with these hours. Building Elevations: Several conceptual building elevations were submitted with this application that demonstrates what the future building may look like (see Exhibit A.3). The structure is proposed to be 2 stories in height to allow for a high ceiling height in the main worship area with offices, meeting rooms, etc. above. Building materials are proposed to consist of a mix of materials including glass, stucco, metal panels and stone type materials on the front façade with the goal of using common materials in uncommon ways (texture, pattern, orientation) to provide visual interest. The future structure is required to comply with the design standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19 and Calvary Church Meridian – CUP H-2018-0031 PAGE 5 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 3, 2018 – Page 15 of 42 the Architectural Standards Manual; staff recommends the commercial standards, rather than industrial, apply to the proposed structure due to the type of use proposed and the commercial properties/uses to the south and east. Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC): The applicant is required to submit a CZC application for approval of the proposed use, site layout and building elevations from the Planning Division prior to submittal of a building permit application. Design Review: The applicant is required to submit a Design Review application concurrent with the CZC application for final approval of the site layout and building elevations. The proposed site layout and structure is required to comply with the design standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19 and the Architectural Standards Manual. Staff recommends the commercial, rather than industrial, design standards apply to the proposed structure. Staff recommends approval of the proposed CUP with the conditions listed in Exhibit B. X.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS The subject property is designated Medium Density Residential (MDR) on the Future Land Use Map FLUM) contained in the Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of the MDR designation is to allow smaller lots for residential purposes within City limits. Uses may include single-family homes at gross densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre (d.u./acre). Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 3, 2018 – Page 30 of 42 Zimmerman Auto Body – AZ H-2018-0029 PAGE 3 The abutting property to the south is designated General Industrial (GI). Because the FLUM is a vision for a built out Meridian and contains a variety of very diverse land uses and is not necessarily parcel specific, the applicant requests the GI designation on the abutting property to the south is floated” to the 0.72 of an acre portion of the site proposed to be rezoned to I-L (see Exhibit C). The 0.42+/- of an acre parcel that fronts on Pine Avenue would remain under the MDR FLUM designation. The GI FLUM designation allows a range of industrial uses to support industrial and commercial activities and to develop areas with sufficient urban services. Light industrial uses may include warehouses, storage units, light manufacturing, and incidental retail and office uses. There is an existing single-family residential home and auto body shop that has been operating since 1999 on this property that are proposed to remain and continue for the foreseeable future; no new development is proposed with this application. Many letters of support have been received from adjacent neighbors agreeing to the proposed annexation of the property and continuation of the existing use. Because the majority of the frontage of the property on Pine Ave. will remain residential (i.e. MDR) and be zoned R-8, staff is amenable to the existing GI designation on the property to the south being floated to the portion of the site proposed to be zoned I-L. Staff is amenable to the GI designation being “floated” for the existing use largely due to letters of support from adjacent neighbors and the relatively low impact to existing residential uses since the noise and fumes associated with the shop are contained within the structure and the visual impacts are screened behind a solid fence. However, staff recommends that any subsequent uses on the industrial portion of this property be vetted through the development agreement recommended as a provision of annexation to determine if the continued industrial use of the property is appropriate. Although Staff deems it appropriate in this case (i.e. with this specific use) to “float” the GI designation for the subject use, it may not be appropriate for future uses based on the type and intensity of use and potential impact on adjacent residential neighbors. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and apply to the use of this property: (Staff’s analysis in italics) Minimize noise, odor, air pollution, and visual pollution in industrial and commercial development adjacent to residential areas.” (3.06.01B) The existing auto body shop operates within the existing structure which should contain noise, odors, and air pollution associated with the use; the applicant’s narrative states that all power tools are operated inside the shop so as not to disturb surrounding neighbors. The area surrounding the shop is enclosed by a solid vision fence which screens the area and prevents any visual pollution from abutting residential properties and the street (Pine Ave.). The applicant is required to obtain all necessary permits from the Building Department and comply with life/safety requirements of the Fire Department for the proposed auto body shop. Encourage industrial development to locate adjacent to existing industrial uses.” (3.06.01C) The proposed industrial use (i.e. auto body shop) and I-L zoning is located adjacent to industrial uses and zoning on the abutting property to the south. Reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial streets by using methods such as cross-access agreements, access management, and frontage/backage roads.” (3.03.02N) There are two existing accesses via Pine Avenue to this property – one to the residential property and one to the industrial property. Because the applicant’s narrative states that the business only services 1-2+/- vehicles per month, staff is amenable to both accesses remaining until such time Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 3, 2018 – Page 31 of 42 Zimmerman Auto Body – AZ H-2018-0029 PAGE 4 as the property redevelops in the future with Council’s approval; at such time access should be re-evaluated and a cross-access easement may be required to be provided to the property to the east. Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels.” (3.06.01F) There are 4 residential properties that abut this site at the west boundary and one at the east boundary; all but one, which appears to be a rental property, have submitted letters in support of this application. There is a solid vision fence along the boundaries of the subject property adjacent to residential uses which screens the property proposed to be zoned I-L where the existing auto body shop is located. The residential use of the property is compatible with other residential uses in the general area and the school across the street to the north. VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC) A. Purpose Statement of Zoning Districts: Residential: The purpose of the residential districts is to provide for a range of housing opportunities consistent with the Meridian comprehensive plan. Residential districts are distinguished by the dimensional standards of the corresponding zone and housing types that can be accommodated. Industrial: The purpose of the I-L district is to provide for convenient employment centers of light manufacturing, research and development, warehousing, and distributing. In accord with the Meridian comprehensive plan, the I-L district is intended to encourage the development of industrial uses that are clean, quiet and free of hazardous or objectionable elements and that are operated, entirely, or almost entirely, within enclosed structures. Accessibility to transportation systems is a requirement of this district. B. Schedule of Use: UDC Tables 11-2A-2, 11-2A-6 and 11-2C-2 lists the principal permitted (P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the proposed R-8 and I-L zoning districts respectively. Single-family residential homes are listed as principle permitted uses in the R-8 zoning district. Major vehicle repair (i.e. auto body shop) is listed as a principle permitted use in the I-L zoning district; compliance with the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3- 37, Major Vehicle Repair, is required. C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site should be consistent with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Tables 11-2A-3 and 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district and 11-2C-2 for the I-L zoning district. D. Landscaping: Not Applicable (NA) E. Open Space & Site Amenities: NA F. Off-Street Parking: NA G. Structure and Site Design Standards: NA IX. ANALYSIS Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: The applicant proposes to annex three (3) parcels totaling 1.13 acres of land with R-8 (0.42 of an acre) and I-L (0.72 of an acre) zoning districts consistent with the FLUM designations of MDR and GI as discussed above in Section VII. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 3, 2018 – Page 32 of 42 Zimmerman Auto Body – AZ H-2018-0029 PAGE 5 There is an existing residential home and an accessory structure used as an auto body shop on the property. The applicant’s narrative states he has lived in the home and operated the auto body shop since 1999. The shop operates approximately 3-4 days a week and all power tools are used inside the shop so as not to disturb the adjacent neighbors. Vehicles serviced by the shop are immediately moved behind the fence and are kept there until the repair work is completed and the owner picks up the vehicle. In 2000, the subject property was hooked up to City water and sewer service but was never annexed. The reason the applicant is requesting annexation into the City at this time is because of violations in Ada County related to not being approved to operate the auto body shop at his residence in the R1 zoning district. The applicant submitted a site plan included in Exhibit A.2 that shows the placement of structures on the site. The current parcel configuration does not allow the home to comply with the minimum setback standards of the R-8 district listed in UDC Table 11- 2A-6, specifically the rear setback. Therefore, Staff advised the applicant to submit and obtain approval of a property boundary adjustment (PBA) application to enlarge the residential parcel proposed to be zoned R-8 so that setbacks can be accommodated; and combine the narrow parcel along the west boundary of the site with the larger parcel proposed to be zoned I-L. The proposed zoning boundary is consistent with the future parcel lines. There are specific use standards contained in the UDC (11-4-3-37) that apply to the major vehicle repair use as follows: 1) Where adjoining a residential property or district, all repair activities including but not limited to, open pits and lifts) shall occur within an enclosed structure; and 2) Inoperable or dismantled motor vehicles shall be stored behind a closed vision fence, wall, or screen or within an enclosed structure and shall not be visible from the street. The applicant’s narrative states he operates in compliance with these standards. Because no new development is proposed with this application, current development standards do not apply, although additional provisions could be added as provisions of annexation through a development agreement. Because the adjacent homeowners are in agreement with the proposed annexation and continued use of the property as-is, staff is not recommending compliance with any current development standards. However, if redevelopment occurs in the future, the development standards in effect at that time will apply, including but not limited to: provision of cross-access to adjacent properties and land use buffers to residential uses/districts. The legal description submitted with the subject application is included in Exhibit C and shows the boundary of the property proposed to be annexed and zoned. The property proposed to be annexed is contiguous to land that has been annexed into the City and is within the Area of City Impact boundary. The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with an annexation and zoning pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. In order to ensure the site continues to operate such that it is not a nuisance to adjacent residential neighbors, staff recommends a DA is required as a provision of the proposed annexation and zoning that contains the provisions in Exhibit B.
