Subject:
Cottonwood Lane Annexation and Zoning
. Request to Annex and Zone 8,58 Acres from RUT to CoG (General Retail and
Service Commercial) by Cottonwood Lane Partners C/O Tom Holliday (File #AZ-
04-029)
We have reviewed the above-mentioned submittal and offer the foUowing findings and conditions
of the applicant. These findings and conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly
modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATION SUMMARY
The applicant, Tom Holliday of Cottonwood Lane Partners, has requested the annexation and zoning
of8.58 acres from RUT to CoG (General Retail and Service Commercial). The subject property is
commonly known as Lot 23, Block I, Amended Magic View Subdivision, which was recorded in
1983, There is currently a single-family home and some outbuildings on the subject site. This site is
also being utilized to store several items, such as cars, The site is L-shaped, is located on the north side
of Freeway Drive and on the east side of Wells Drive, approximately one-third of a mile west of Eagle
Road,
Over the past few years two hotels and multiple office buildings have been constructed near this
parcel. With the subject AZ application, the applicant has provided a conceptual site plan of how this
site may develop. The applicant states, in the submittal letter, that the subject property would make a
good site for another hotel and/or a restaurant to serve hotels, offices, and the medical facilities in the
area (see the applicant's submittal letter). In addition to the commercial/office uses, the applicant is
conceptually proposing multi-family on the western portion of the property. The applicant believes that
with the recent development in this area and the excellent visibility this site has ftom Interstate 84, a
commercial zone is appropriate. Due to recent construction of hotels and office buildings in Magic
View, the applicant is requesting that the subject property be zoned CoG, According to current City
AZ.04-029
Cottonwood Lane.AZ,doe
Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission
Hearing Date: January 6, 2004
Page 2
Code, hotels, restaurants, professional and sales offices are pñncipally permitted uses in the proposed
CoG zone (MCC II-S-I). Apartment houses (multi-family) are prohibited in the requested CoG zone
(MCC 11-8-1).
It appears that the legal description submitted with the application is accurate and meets the
requirements of the City of Meridian and the State Tax Commission. If all the property is rezoned to
C-G,the subject site would conform to the minimum lot size and minimum ftontage requirements of
the requested zone.
Staff is recommending that the property be annexed into the City. but along with the other conditions
outlined in this report, staff is recommending that the portion of the parcel that will contain multi-
family units be zoned L-O (Limited Office),
WCATION
The subject property is located on the north side of Freeway Drive and on the east side of Wells Drive,
approximately one-third of a mile west of Eagle Road, in Section 17, Township 3 North, Range 1 East.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
North - Medical offices, zoned CoG; Horse pasture, zoned RUT (Ada County)
South -Interstate 84; Single-family home (Magic View Subdivision), zoned RUT (Ada County)
East - Fallon Greens Subdivision (3-lot commercial subdivision with a hotel and future office lots),

consent for the subject application.
ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both the
P&Z Commission and Council are required "to review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed zoning amendment in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate' evidence
answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15- I 1 and analysis by staff:
A.
Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan
and, if not, has there been an application for a Comprehensive Plan amendment;
The 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as
'Commercial'. In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, 'Commercial' areas are anticipated
to provide a full range of commercial and retail to serve area residents and visitors. Uses may
include retail, wholesale, service and office uses, multi-family residential, as well as
appropriate public uses such as government offices. Staff fmds that the requested CoG zoning
AZ-O4-O29
Cottonwood Lane.AZ.doc
Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission
Hearing Date: January 6, 2004
Page 3
generally conforms to this stated purpose and intent of the commercial designation witlún the
Comprehensive Plan. Please see the Special Considerations below for further analysis of the
proposed zoning designation and how it relates to the conceptually proposed uses on the site.
Staff finds the following Goals, Objectives, and Action items contained in the 2002
Comprehensive Plan to be applicable to tlús application (staff analysis is in italics below
policy):
. "Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping." (Chapter V, Goal
ID, Objective D, Action item 5)
The applicant is not specifically proposing to install any landscaping with the subject
annexation application. The applicant will be required to submit a tkvelopment application
priar to consfrUcting any use on the site. When the future tkvelopment application(s) are
processed by the City, the applicant will be required to construct landscaping along
Freeway Drive, Wells Drive, between different land uses, and along the perimeter of the
site.
. "Permit new . . .commercial development only where urban services can be reasonably
provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (Chapter
IV, Goal I, Objective A, Action item 6)
The subject site can be serviced by the City of Meridian's sanitary sewer and water
systems,
. "Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities witlún the Impact Area." (Chapter
Vll, Goal 1, Objective B)
The proposed uses do contribute to the variety of commercial and retail uses in this area,
as envisioned with the Camprehensive Plan.
. "Improve and protect creeks (Five Mile, Eight Mile, Nine Mile, Ten Mile, South Slough,
and Jackson and Evans drainages) throughout commercial, industrial and residential areas."
(Chapter V, Goal I, Objective A, Action item II)
The applicant is not proposing to alter the Five Mile Creek in any wqy with this
application. The applicant will be required, through a Development Agreement, to improve
the Five Mile Creek amenity by constructing a multi-use pathway a4Jacent to it when the
site develops. See Special Consitkration #2 beluw.
Staff finds thot a C-G zone is harmonious with and in tu:cordance with the
Comprehensive Plan. However, based on the conceptual site plan submitted with the
annexotion application, sta.ff recommends thot the northwestern portion of the site be
AZ-O4-O29
Cottonwood Lane.AZ.doc
Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission
Hearing Date: January 6, 2004
Page 4
zoned 1--0 to I1£commodaJe multi-family uses. Please see Special Considerations below
for further analysis.
B.
Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future;
Apartment houses are prohibited in the C-G zone. Therefore, if all of the subject property is
zoned CoG as requested, the applicant will need to rezone the northwestern portion of the site to
develop multi-family dwellings, If the site is zoned as staff recommends (C-G for the
southeastern portion and L-O for the northwestern portion), staff does not anticipate that the
subject property will be rezoned again in the future, See Special Considerations below for
further analysis.
c.
Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the fashion that
would be allowed under the new zoning - for example, a residential area turning into
commercial area by means of conditional use permits;
Properties in this area are rapidly transitioning trom rural residential to office/commercial type
uses. In the applicant's submittal letter, it is stated that the subject property is intended to be
used for a mix of uses. The submitted concept plan shows a hotel on Freeway Drive (between
two existing hotels), an office park to the north of the hote~ and multi-family apartments on the
land with frontage on Well Street. Currently, restaurants, hotels, and professional offices are
(principally) permitted uses in the C-G zone. Multi-family dwellings (apartments) are
prohibited in the CoG zone. Therefore, not all conceptually proposed uses would be allowed
under the proposed new zoning. Currently there are four City zones that conditionally allow
multi-family; the R-15, R-40, L-O and O-T zones, No City zone principally permits multi-
family dwellings. Consistent with the ComDrehensive Plan. the applicants conceptual site Dlan.
as well as the other office and retail uses that are developing within Magic View SubdivisiolL
staff recommends that the northwestern portion of the site be zoned L-O (Limited Office).
D.
Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that the area
should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new railroad access been
developed or planned or adjacent area being developed in a fashion similar to the
proposed rezone area;
The general vicinity of this project is in transition from low density residential uses to
commercial/urban type uses, Developments to the east and northeast in close proximity to the
subject lot include Texaco and Chevron fuel stations and convenience stores, a credit union and
bank, a 30,300 sq. ft. multi-tenant office building, Subway and medicaVclinicai services. Two
new hotels have currently opened to the east and west of the subject site, In 2004, the 5.22 acre
lot directly to the north was annexed and zoned to CoG. Woodbridge Subdivision is a 260 +/-
lot residential subdivision approximately Y. mile to the west that connects with Magic View
Drive and is largely built-out at a medium density.

As development occurs ACHD is requiring that the local/commercial streets in Magic View
Subdivision be widened and that developers construct sidewalk adjacent to the developing
sites. Further, this site lies within an extraordinary impact fee overlay zone. This overlay zone
was established to install the infrastructure for the redevelopment of the rural lots within Magic
View Subdivision, in anticipation of the lots redeveloping to commercial. The ACHD now
requires that developers within this overly zone pay into a reimbursement fund for the costs
that were associated with construction of the new road from the intersection of Eagle Road and
St. Luke's drive, to the intersection of Magic View Drive and Allen Drive (see ACHD for more
information). Staff finds that annexation and zoning of the subject property would be
compatible with other nearby land uses and facility changes in the area.
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;
No specific uses are proposed with this application. However, the applicant did submit a
conceptual plan of how the site may develop. If the site is (generally) designed, constructed and
operated as proposed with the conceptual site plan, the development should be in accordance
with adopted city ordinances and should be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the
existing character of the Magic View Subdivision area. The Comprehensive Plan envisions the
north side of Magic View Drive and the west side of Wells Street, to be office type uses and the
south side of Magic View Drive to be more intense, commercial type uses. Staff finds that a
zoning change of this property to CoG and L-O (as recommended by staff) would fit within the
character of the Comprehensive Plan and will not adversely change the essential character of
the area.
F.
Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring
uses;'
Staff finds the intended uses on the subject property should not be hazardous or disturbing to
existing or future neighboring uses if all development and landscape buffer ordinances are
exercised. The Commission and Council shall rely on public testimony to determine whether
the proposed uses will be disturbing or hazardous to the neighboring uses.
G.
Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as
highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water,
sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed zoning amendment
shall be able to provide adequately any of such services;
ACHD staff commented on the proposed annexation application on November 16, 2004.
Included within ACHD staff's report were some of the policies that apply to the subject site.
Upon the receipt of a development application, the ACHD will impose site specific conditions.
Meridian Fire, Police and Parks Departments were represented at the Comments Meeting held
on November 12, 2004 for this application and provided comment that services could be

provided (all of the detailed comments from the Fire Department and other
agencies/departments are at the end of this report). Sanitary Service Company (SSe) currently
provides service to adjacent properties in the area. The Commission and Council will need to
reference any written or verbal testimony submitted by The Meridian Public Works
Department, Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, Idaho Power, and other service providers
regarding this finding.
Staff finds that the property proposed for annexation and zoning can be served adequately by
all essential public facilities and services.
H.
Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and
services and wiD not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community;
Required site improvements will be funded and constructed by the developer through the
PreliminarylFinai Plat, CUP, and CZC process, The primary public costs will be fire and police
services. Staff finds that changing the zoning of this site will not cause excessive additional
requirements at public cost. Staff also finds that the annexation and zoning of this site to CoG
and L-O will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
L
Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and
conditions of operation that wiD be detrimental to any persons, property or the general
welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
The applicant is not proposing a specific use for this property at this time. Staff finds that any
future uses will generate additional traffic on adjacent roadways above and beyond the existing
residence, The level of impact will depend upon the type of future use(s). The purpose of the
C-G zone is to "provide for commercial uses which are customarily operated entirely or almost
entirely within a building." The purpose of the L-O zone is to "permit the establishment of
groupings of professional, research, executive, administrative, accounting, clerical,
stenographic, public service and similar uses... shall not involve heavy testing operations of any
kind or product manufacturing of such a nature to create noise, vibration or emissions of a
nature offensive to the overall purpose of this District," As such, staff does not anticipate future
uses will create smoke, fumes, glare, or odors that will be detrimental to the general welfare of
persons or property in the area, MCC 11-16-4 provides the P&Z Commission and City Council
the authoriw to Teq 1Ù'e a prO,perty owner to enter into a Develo,pment Agreement with the City
of Meridian that may req.uire a Conditional Use Permit or some written commitment for all
future uses to more fully conwly with this fmding, Due to the mixed-use nature of the
conceptual site plan, staff believes that a Development Agreement is necessary. (See
Annexation and Zoning Site-Specific Comments and Conditions below)
J.
Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not
to create an inteñerence with traffic on surrounding public streets;
~4-029
Cottonwood Lane.AZ.doc
Mayor, Counci~ and P&Z Commission
Hearing Date: January 6, 2004
Page 7
Staff finds that future uses will impact the level and flow of traffic on the surrounding streets.
The applicant is not proposing specific access for this site with the AZ application. The concept
plan submitted with the application shows a vehicular access to Wells Street and one to
Freeway Drive. These two access points are connected through the site via a drive aisle.
Standards for future driveway offsets are determined by ACHD. Further, specific traffic count
generation will be determined at the time of development application, which must be reviewed
and approved by ACHD, Stafffmds that the property can be designed to not create significant
interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets.
K.
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major
importance; and
Staff finds that the Five Mile Creek is a significant natural feature that should be protected
through standard' stormwater and run-off management practices. As a large portion of this site
lies within the floodplainlfloodway of the Five Mile Creek, future development of the property
should comply with the established guidelines for construction within floodways/flood plains.
Staff is not aware of any other natural or scenic feature(s) that may be lost, damaged or
destroyed by allowing this site to be annexed and developed, Any existing trees larger than 4"
caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance.
L.
Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of Meridian. (Ord. 592.
11-17-1992)"
For the reasons listed in the findings above, staff finds that the annexinll and zoning of this
property would be in the best interest of the City.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Listed below are some comments related to development of the subject site. Upon the receipt of a
development application in the future, the Planning Department intends to further analyze and
impose conditions related to the comments below. Additional requirements that apply to
development of the subject site may also be imposed with future development application(s).
1.
Building Setbacks: With the recordation of Amended Magic View Subdivision, setbacks for
buildings on this site were established. Note #5 of Amended Magic View Subdivision requires:
a 25-foot front setback, a 20-foot side setback and a 25-foot rear setback. The submitted
conceptual plan does not comply with the recorded setbacks for this site, All future buildings
on this site should comply with the perimeter building setbacks established with the Amended
Magic View Subdivision plat.
2.
Multi-Use Pathway' The 2002 Comprehensive Plan depicts a muhi-use pathway along the Five
Mile Creek. With any future development application adjacent to the Five Mile Creek, a multi-
use pathway should be constructed on the north side of the creek to Wells Street. This pathway
will tie into the existing pathway in Snorting Bull Subdivision to the west and will be extended
south when that parcel is annexed and zoned in the City.
AZ-O4-029
Cottonwood Lane.AZ.doc
Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission
Hearing Date: January 6, 2004
Page 8
3.
LandsclU)ing: Meridian City Code 12-13-12 requires a 20-foot wide landscape buffer between
multi-family and single-family uses, a 20-foot wide landscape buffer between office and multi-
family uses, and a 25-foot wide buffer between a hotel and a single-family home. Meridian
City Code 12-13-10-4 also requires a lO-foot wide landscape buffer on local streets, The
landscape buffer widths adjacent to streets must be located outside of the right-of-way and do
not include the width of the sidewalk (MCC 12-13-lO-2). Landscaping should be installed in
accordance with City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development.
4.
Conceptual Site PlanlFuture Uses: With the annexation application the applicant has submitted
a conceptual site plan, as requested by staff. The site plan shows a hotel, three office pad sites,
and lO four-plex buildings with shared drive aisles between all uses. Staff is supportive of the
general layout of uses and vehicular cross access between uses. However, due to existing
setback constraints (see Special Consideration #1 above), and the proximity of the Five Mile
Creek (a natural amenity), staff recommends that the multi-family units back-up to the Five
Mile Creek. This will allow the future residents a great view of the creek while allowing the
applicant to utilize a greater portion of the site (less asphalt to put down and more building
area).
The conceptual site plan submitted by the applicant is not approved with the subject
application. Modifications to the site plan and improvements to the property, including but not
limited to landscaping, access, parking and drive aisle improvements, and Fire Department
improvements will be required with future development application(s).
5.
Floodway/Flood Plain: A large portion of this site lies within the floodway of the Five Mile
Creek. Development of the property should comply with the established guidelines for
construction within floodwayslflood plains.
6.
Existing Residence: The subject property has an existing residence. Upon annexation and
zoning of the property to L-O and/or CoG, the residence would become a legal non-conforming
use. The applicant, Commission and Council should be aware that no alterations, expansions,
reconstructions or other enlargements to the structure will be permitted except through a CUP
and except where the use of the structure changes to a use permitted in the L-O or CoG zone.

Re: 975 Freeway Drive/Mr. & Mrs. Wells/Cottonwood Lane Partners Annexation Application
Our Honorabie Mayor;
My name is Matthew Locati, and I am the Realtor representing David and Maude Wells (Seller(s), on
the sale of their property at 975 Freeway Drive, in Meridian. My clients entered into a purchase and
sale agreement with Cottonwood Lane Partners (Buyer(s) on January 1, of last year. They have been
waiting thru the due diligence period required by the buyer(s) for one year now, and are obviously very
anxious to close on their property so they can have the ability to move. The final step of this due
diligence period is contingent upon Buyer(s) obtaining zoning and/or penn it approvals from the City of
Meridian.
David and Maude have resided at 975 freeway drive for nearty 30 years, and suffice it to say the area
has changed. In the last few years they have been rapidly surrounded with new businesses like;
convenience stores, gas stations, medical offices, professional buildings and several new
motelslhotels. Most recently, they have become "sandwiched' between two brand new developments:
Comfort Inn & Suites and the Hampton Inn. Their environment is no longer conducive to that of a
peaceful residence. The volume of traffic, the vehicle noise, and construction work surrounding them
envelopes their home in an endless roar.
On the City of Meridian's, "Future Land Use MaD (AuClust 6, 2002)", this area's highest and best use,
has alœat!ibeen detemlined to be <:omniercial zen ing for anýlall future development. Due to this prior
zoning acceptance, the (Buyer(s) & Sel/er(s» are hopeful there can be no argument against
commercial use/zoning, as the project has been purposefully designed to fit within these accepted
parameters.
The reason for my letter to you Is to encourage the speed with which you will proceed with the
finalization of approvals. Please understand time is of the essence, truly, in these proceedings. My
clients, David and Maude, are elderly, and David has come to be in extremely poor health. Mrs. Wells
has to care for her husband's physical weaknesses as he has become disabled and quite immobile, in
the past year. It requires a lot of very physical work and heavy lifting for Maude to do, everyday, by
herself With the monies from the sale of their property, Maude can afford to provide the healthcare
David so urgently and desperately needs.

Other Items of Interest
This development is located within an extraordinary impact fee overlay zone, The extraordinary fee
that was adopted by the Commission was based on trip generation rates, The Commission
determined that the Extraordinary Impact Fee per vehicle trip would be $43.19. This parcel includes
B.5S-acres, resulting in a trip generation rate of approximately 3,313 trips per day. Based on this trip
generation, this property should pay an extraordinary impact fee. in the amount of approximately
$143,088.47. Staff recommends that the Commission require the payment of that amount into a fund
for the reimbursement of costs that were associated with constructing and acquiring right-of-way for a
new road from the intersection of Eagle Road and 51. Luke's driveway to the intersection of Magic
View Drive and Allen Dñve as the proportionate share of this property on a per trip basis when the
property has clearly identified the use of the property and applies for a future development
application,
