children. The Zoning Schedule ofU se Control (MCC 11-8-1) requires a Conditional Use Permit for
Childcare Centers in all zones, including the C-G Zone.
Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit with the conditions noted in this
report.

OWNER OF RECORD
The owner of record is LH Properties LLC, and they have given their consent for the applicant to
submit the requested conditional use pennit.
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 fmd 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!!:
The submitted plan depicts 36 on-site parking stalls. MCC 11-13-5(B)(2) requires daycare
facilities to provide parking at the rate of one (1) space per ten (10) children, plus one (1) for
each employee. The proposed 200 child daycare requires 20 parking spaces, and the
applicant anticipates ten (10) employees, for a total of thirty (30) required parking spaces.
The applicant's submitted site plan also meets the required parking dimensions outlined in
MCC 11-13-4(F).
LandscaDin!!:
The applicant has proposed a twenty foot (20') landscape buffer along South Cobalt Point
Way with four (4) street trees and has provided intemallandscapeplanters within the parking
lot which meet the requirements of Meridian City Code.
Staff finds that the subject property, as depicted, is large enough to accommodate the
required open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by the ordinance.
Staff notes that the subject lot was modified by Record of Survey #06689, Records of Ada
County, Idaho.
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 Land Use Map designates the property as "Mixed Use--Regional"
and it is currently zoned C-G. Mixed Use--Regional allows for a mix of commercial use,
including daycares (see Comprehensive Plan, p. 98). Ordinance 11-8-1, Schedule of Use
Control, allows for childcare centers through the conditional use process in the C-G zone.
Staff finds that the requested uses are in compliance with the approved Future Land Use Map
and that, if approved as a CUP, the project will be in compliance with the MCC and

Development Agreement.
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
ofthe same area;
The abutting properties to the north, south, and west, and beyond, are part of Silverstone
Business Campus and are intended for development of a similar nature. The Comprehensive
Plan shows that the future intended land use ofthe area is Mixed U se---Regional. Therefore,
staff finds that the proposed development will not adversely change the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity. The decision to change the character of the area was already
made with the approval of Silverstone Business Campus and Bonito Subdivision (located to
the west of Eagle Road).
That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will
not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed use will adversely affect adjacent properties. The
Commission and Council should rely upon public testimony to determine if the development
will adversely affect the other property in the vicinity.
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;
The project will take vehicular access ITom South Cobalt Point Way via a new shared entry
drive. Storm drainage for the site will tie into the business development's existing storm
drainage system. ACHD approved the proposed project with no new conditions, except to
comply with the conditions already placed on the subdivision. Water and sanitary sewer
service to the project is readily available to the site via mains installed as part of the
subdivision improvements.
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;
If approved, the developer will finance the extension of sewer, water, utilities and
pressurized irrigation to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the future
residents will be fire and police services. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional
requirements at public cost and that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the
N aturesChild cUP

community's economic welfare.
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;
No new trip generation estimates were provided by ACHD, since estimates for the entire
subdivision were approved previously when it was subdivided. The approved subdivision
plans anticipate up to 6,310 additional vehicle trips per day for the entire Silverstone
Business Campus; the proposed project is only a traction ofthe pre-approved ultimate traffic
volume. Staff fmds that no excessive traffic, smoke, fumes, glare or odors will result from
the proposed use.
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;
Staff finds that the proposed use will not create significant interference with traffic on the
surrounding public streets. The ACHD will not prepare a separate site-specific report for the
proposed project and instead have simply required the project to comply with conditions of
approval already placed on the subdivision as a whole.
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 finds that no natural or scenic feature will be lost, damaged or destroyed by issuance of
this conditional use. Staff has not identified any natural or scenic features on the site.
