Preliminary Plat (PP) approval of eighteen (18) buildable lots on 33.1 acres in the CoG zone.
According to Ada County, the subject site is composed of three tax parcels: Landstar NW, LLC
owns 1 parcel (13.9 acres) and Boise Valley Commons, LLC owns 2 parcels comprising 19.2
acres. The 13.9 acre parcel was recently created through the approval of MI-04-13 (Knighton

PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS
Meridian City Code (MCC) 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the
acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of
this title and at least the following:
A.
The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan;
The 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as
'Mixed Use - Regional'. In Chapter vn of the Comprehensive Plan, mixed use areas are
intended to "provide for a combination of compatible land uses that are typically
developed under a master or conceptual plan. The purpose of this designation is to
identifY key areas which are either infill in nature or situated in highly visible or
transitioning areas of the city where innovative and flexible design opportunities are
encouraged." The subject site is situated in a highly visible area that is rapidly
transitioning fi'om historically agricultural uses to commercial. Although a conceptual
plan has not been submitted, staff finds that the proposed subdivision and anticipated uses
should be compatible with the existing and anticipated future land uses in the area.
Staff finds the following Goals, Objectives, and Action items contained in the 2002
Comprehensive Plan to be applicable to this application (stqff analysis is in italics below
policy):
. "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)
Mayor & City Council
Page 3
The subject site can be serviced by the City of Meridian's sanitary sewer and water
sysJems.
. "Encourage infill development in vacant/underdeveloped areas within the City over
ftinge area development to halt the outward progression of urban development"
(Chapter V, Goal I, Objective A)
This parcel is underdeveloped, is currently within the City limits, and is considered
infill development.
. "Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping." (Chapter V,
Goal ill, Objective D, Action item 5)
The applicant is proposing to install landscaping along Interstate 84 (50-feet),
Overland Road (25-feet), and the internal public streets (IO-feet). Additional
landscape requirements will be necessary when commercial businesses are developed
in the future.
. "Locate new community commercial areas on arterials or collectors near residential
areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining residential areas." (Chapter VII,
Goal I, Objective B, Action item 5)
The subject property has frontage on Overland Road, an arterial street. If
landscaping and sidewalks are constructed adjacent to the site, staff believes that this
development would complement the residential uses in the area.
Staff finds that the proposed subdivision is in general compliance with the
Comprehensive Development Plan.
B.
The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Overland Road was recently widened to 5-lanes abutting the site. As part of the recent
improvements to Overland Road, a signal was insta1led at the intersection of Millennium
Way. ACHD staff is recommending to the Commission that the applicant be required to
construct Millennium Way, Celebration Avenue and the other proposed internal public
streets to their adopted commercial street standards. ACHD is also recommending
approval of the proposed public stub street to the vacant parcel to the east and restricting
any additional access (driveways) to Overland Road. ACHD is recommending, with site-
specific and standards conditions, approval of the subject development. This item is
scheduled to be heard at the January 12, 2004, ACHD Commission meeting.
The subject site can be serviced by the City of Meridian's sanitary sewer and water
systems. See any comments from the Meridian Public Works Department regarding
detailed analysis of this finding.
Mayor & City Council
Page 4
On December 17, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. The detailed comments and
conditions from the Fire Department, Police Department, and other agencies/departments
are at the end of this report.
The Commission and Council will need to reference any written or verbal testimony
submitted by Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, Idaho Power, and other service
providers regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
Staff finds that all public services and facilities noted above appear to be adequate to
serve this property.
C.
The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program;
Staff finds that the subdivision will not contlict with the capital improvement program
because the developer is required to install sewer, water, local street infrastructure,
utilities and irrigation for the development at their cost.
D.
The public fmandal capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
As noted in the above finding, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer,
water, local/internal street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the
project. The primary public costs to serve the future site will be fire and police services.
Staff finds that this development will not cause excessive additional requirements at
public cost, if the applicant complies with the conditions of approval for the subject
preliminary plat application. The Commission and Council should consider the Meridian
Police, Parks and Fire Departments' comments with regard to their capability to serve the
proposed development.
E.
The other health, safety or environmental problems that. may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff is not aware of any natural or scenic feature(s) of major importance in the area that
may be affected by the proposed development. Staff finds the Commission and Council
should rely on any public testimony that may be presented to determine whether the
proposed use may cause health, safety or environmental problems, of which staff is
unaware.
PRELIMINARY PLAT SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Cross-access: Several of the proposed buildable lots do not have public street frontage.
In lieu of street frontage, the applicant is proposing drive aisles for access to each interior
lot. Because several of the proposed commercial lots do not have frontage on a public
street, a cross access agreement for the new lotS within the subdivision to utilize the
service drive aisles should be provided. Maintenance of the drive aisles should be
provided for in a note on the face of the final plat, AND/OR in a document such as
CCR's. See Site Specific Condition #2 below.

RE:
Boise Valley Commons
Dear Roger:
All storm water will be retained onsite. This meets Nampa & Meridian Irrigation
District's standards and is acceptable. You show the District's Cook Lateral and that it
will be relocated and piped. I believe all the Cook needs to be is shortened and the
easement re-described. The eighteen (18)-inch delivery, going to the North, can be
pulled off of the end box of the Cook Lateral as it is at present.
The twenty (20)-foot easement shown is not acceptable. The easement is thirty (30)-feet.
Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District does not reduce easements. We will, occasionally,
allow encroachments with approved plans and signed License Agreement.
Landscaping, with trees that will grow and put roots that get into our pipeline, over our
pipeline is also unacceptable. Shrubs and grass are accl;!þtable. Trees must be put outside
the drip line so their roots can not get into the pipeline.
The PVC delivery, going to the North, must be approved by the Water Users on the north
side of the freeway. They have a water user's association set up and their president or
water master must accept this PVC pipe as it is beyond Nampa & Meridian Irrigation
District's jurisdiction and responsibility once it crosses over the end weir.
Plans do not show any pressure irrigation. There has been talk about hooking up to the
subdivision, Resolution, to the south and updating that pump station. This is acceptable
however piping plans, services and an update must be shown before this can happen.

PLANNING & ZONING RECOMMENDATIONS
NOISE EVALUATION/MITIGATION
As traffic noise impacts are a potential for property adjacent to state or federal highways, the Idaho Transportation
Department (lID) requests the local Planning & Zoning Authority to require Applications for Development or Zone
Change Requests to evaluate and, if necessary, mitigate for noise impacts as indicated below under Noise Evaluation
Process.
If the Local Jurisdiction and the Applicant choose not to consider noise abatement, a letter with signatures from the
authorized representative is required from both the agency and the applicant. The letter must state that the agency and
the applicant have been notified of the potential noise impacts and the ITD policy. Additionally, the letter must state
that the right to request any noise abatement now and in the future is waived. One letter may be submitted but it
requires the signature of the authorized representative from both the Applicant and the Local Jurisdiction.
Noise Evaluation Process
I. The applicant shall perform a Traffic Noise Screen in accordance with the Environmental Process Manual
(EPM) Section 1350.02. The following information will be provided by ITD Traffic Section:
The Twenty Year Design Hourly Volume (DHV
2. If the results of the Traffic Noise Screen so warrant, then the applicant shall perform a Traffic Noise Impact
Analysis in accordance with EPM Section 1350.03.
3. The applicant shall submit a noise report to the Planning & Zoning authority with a copy to ITD. This report
shall include:
a. Results of the Traffic Noise Screen, including supporting assumptions, documentation, and conclusion
as to why a Traffic Noise Impact Analysis was warranted.
b. Results of Traffic Noise Impact Analysis including supporting assumptions and documentation
c. Type of abatement to be used for the proposed development, if any, and discussion of different types
of abatement considered.
4. The Planning & Zoning authority will review the noise report, solicit and consider comments from ITD, and
determine which (if any) abatement methods will be made as a condition of the proposed development.
Notes:
The Environmental Process Manual (EPM) is available on line at
htIP:llwww2.state.id.us/itdlhÜrhwavs/dev!Manual s/Envi ornmental/.
All noise analysis and report preparation shall be done by individuals with experience with highway traffic noise
modeling.
lID point-of-contact for general questions on Development Applications or Zone Change Requests is District 3
Traffic Engineer, Dan Coonce at 334-8340.
lID point-of-contact for specific questions on noise evaluation/mitigation is District 3 Environmental Manager,
Greg Vitley at 334-8952.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOlVllVlENDATIONS
-~---
It is recommended that storm water be pre-treated prior to discharge to the
subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and surface water quality. The
engineers and architects involved with the design of this project should obtain
current best management practices for storm water disposal and design a
storm water management system that is preventing groundwater and surface
water degradation. Manuals that could be used for guidance are:
State of Idaho Catalog of Storm water Best Management Practices For
Idaho Cities and Counties.
Prepared by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, July
1997.
Slormwater Best Management Practices Guidebook.

purposes of addressing to minimize confusion during an emergency
response.
b. Option 2 is to provide monument signs at both ends of the 30' wide access
easement and at each curb cut where a given lot intersects the access drive-
