APPLICATION SUMMARY
The applicant, Elixir Industries, has submitted a Reduction in Platting (RP) application
requesting a reduction to the platting requirements for a Parcel Boundary Adjustment to create
one (I) 48.14 acre parcel and one (1) 13.49 acre parcel in an approved CoG zone. This parcel
was the subject of recent Ten Mile Development applications (CPA-04-003/CUP-04-051/RZ-
04-017) which the City approved on April 26, 2005. Ten Mile Development was a request for
a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezone, and Conditional Use Permit approval for a
planned development including conceptual approval of 615,430 square feet of
commercial/retail uses. The subject parcel has received approval for rezone to CoG (General
Retail and Service Commercial) from the I-L and L-O zones; however the Rezone Ordinance
has not been adopted as of the date of this report. The subject parcel is not part of a recorded
subdivision.
A Record of Survey (ROS) has been submitted showing how the parcel will be divided. Parcel
1 of the ROS is 48.14 acres and Parcel 2 is 13.49 acres in size. Future development must
comply with the approved Ten Mile applications (CPA-04-003/CUP-04-051/RZ-04-O17) and
the approved development agreement for this property; future development must also receive
detailed conditional use approval.

The subject property is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Pine Avenue and
Eagle Road. The owner of the property is Elixir Industries, Inc and Christopher Sahm, the
President and Chief Operating Officer, has submitted notarized consent for the subject
application.
STAFF ANALYSIS
In June, 2004, the Planning & Zoning Department established a new policy and procedure
regarding re-subdivisions. This decision was based on MCC l2-3-I.B. which states the
following:
Re-Subdivision: Notwithstanding the definition of "subdivision" contained in Section
11-2-2 of this Code, where an applicant desires to subdivide an existing lot which is
located in an existing subdivision which has been previously recorded and the required
improvements made thereon, he may do so without going through the entire platting
procedure required by this Title. He shall, however, submit an application for re-
subdivision showing the existing lot and how the lot is proposed to be re-subdivided.
The City shall then determine what requirements of this Title shall be complied with
by the applicant. The City may require full compliance if deemed necessary. The
provisions of this subsection pertaining to the reduction in platting requirements of
certain parcels may apply to previously unplatted and unsubdivided ground upon
application to the City Council. (Ord. 456, 9-3-1985)
The Planning Director, City Engineer, and City Attorney determined that this ordinance
allows property owners to request a re-subdivision of property if the proposed division meets
the following criteria:
RP-O5-002
1.
If the property is within a recorded subdivision, a Lot Line Adjustment
application must be submitted and may be approved at staff level.
If the property is unplatted, a miscellaneous application (reduction in platting
requirements) must be submitted and heard by the City Council. If the
miscellaneous/reduction in platting requirements application is approved by
City Council, a Lot Line Adjustment application must be submitted.
For either platted or unplatted land, the applicant must provide drawings that
show a) the existing parcel and the proposed split, b) any and all existing and
proposed improvements within or adjoining the property, c) proposed sewer
connection and profiles, and d) any other information deemed as appropriate or
necessary by the City Engineer and/or Planning Director.
Both parcels that result from the split must meet the minimum yard
requirements of the applicable zone per MCC 11-9-1.
Applications for re-subdivisions of property will only be considered for
property zoned as commercial and/or industrial. Residentially zoned land is not
eligible. Properties would be limited to a one-time split under these provisions.

Platting requirements for condominium plats may also be considered under
these provisions where the condominium plat only affects ownership and does
not result in additional development of the property.
Staff has confirmed that the two parcels to be created by this division meet the minimum
standards for the recently approved CoG zone. The rezone ordinance (subsequent to RZ-04-
017) shall be adopted by Meridian City Council prior to the City Engineer's signature on the
Record of Survey.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
I. The applicant shall comply with all conditions of approval for the recent Ten Mile
Development applications (CPA-04-003/CUP-04-051/RZ-04-0l7).
The subject property shall be rezoned, by City of Meridian Ordinance, to the CoG zone
prior to signature by the City Engineer on the Record of Survey.
Applicant must comply with all subdivision improvements as required by MCC 12-5-2.
Prior to issuance of a Certificate of Zoning Compliance, the applicant shall submit a
recorded copy of the Record of Survey signed by the City Engineer.
All future uses within Parcel I and 2 shall be required to obtain detailed conditional use
permit approval.
Unless otherwise approved by a detailed conditional use permit, all future development
on both Parcell and 2 must comply with MCC 11-9-1 regarding building setbacks, lot
coverage, and height restrictions.
Applicant shall comply with all improvements as required by Ada County Highway
District.
The applicant shall include Parcell and Parcel 2 in a future subdivision. No building
permits shall be issued on Parcels 1 or 2 until a fmal plat application has been
submitted for the entire property.
