Required Findings
PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS
Sections 12-3-3.J.2 and 12-3-5.D of Meridian City Code 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;
This site is designated as "Medium Density Residential" on the Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Map and zoned L-O. The L-O zoning was granted to the
property through a "Use Exception" that was approved as part of the Planned
Development for Paramount Subdivision. The Applicant has requested
modifications to the standard setbacks and frontage requirements of the L-O zone.
Please see Conditional Use Permit Analysis below for further assessment of the
proposed development and associated deviations from development standards.
City Council finds the following Goals, Objectives, and Action items contained in
the 2002 Comprehensive Plan to be applicable to this application (staff analysis is
in italics below policy):
.
"Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets."
(Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 2)
The Ada County Highway District previously approved the existing
approach to W. Cayuse Creek Drive. The Applicant is not proposing any
new curb cuts with the subject development.
.
"Locate small scale neighborhood commercial areas within planned
residential developments as part of the development plan." (Chapter VII,
Goal I, Objective B, Action item 3)
.
"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 was identified in the Planned Development CUP for
Paramount Subdivision as "Village Mixed-Use Center: Linder Road" and is
adjacent to Linder Road, an arterial roadway.
D.
City Council finds that if the Commission and Council grant the Applicant the
requested modifications with the CUP/PD, and the Applicant complies with the
conditions included in this report, the lot configuration and overall design of the
subdivision would be in general conformance with the City of Meridian
Comprehensive Plan.
B.
The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed
development;
The subject site has adequate access to Linder Road via W. Cayuse Creek Drive.
The City of Meridian Fire and Police Departments currently monitor, service, and
protect the subject neighborhood. Sanitary Services Company currently provides
refuse service to surrounding properties. City sewer and water services are
currently available to this site through stubs from existing mains in W. Cayuse
Creek Drive and Linder Road. The applicant will be responsible to construct
sewer mains to and through this proposed development. Subdivision designer to
coordinate main sizing and routing with the Public Works Department. Applicant
shall execute City of Meridian standard forms of easements, for any mains that
are required to provide service. Cover over sanitary sewer mains shall be no less
than 3-feet from finish grade to the top of the pipe. If cover is less than 3-feet
from the sub-grade to the top of pipe, alternate pipe materials shall be used per the
Meridian Public Works Department's Standard Specifications.
On March 25, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. All of the detailed
conditions from the Meridian Police Department, Meridian Fire Department, and
other agencies/departments are at the end of this report.
City Council finds that the subject property can be served adequately by all
essential public facilities and City services.
c.
The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement
program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, utilities and irrigation, for the
development at their cost, City Council finds that the subdivision will not conflict
with the capital improvement program.
The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
City Council finds that the City and its related services are capable of servicing
the proposed development. The development will not require major expenditures
for providing supporting services.
E.
The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to
the Commission's attention.
City Council is not aware of any natural, scenic or historic features in the general
vicinity of this project. Staff finds that no site improvements associated with the
application should damage natural, scenic or historic features in the area.
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 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;
The submitted site plan depicts 162 on-site parking stalls. MCC 11-13-5.B.2
requires office uses to provide one on-site parking space for every 400 square-feet
of building (gross). Per this requirement, the applicant would be required to
provide 104 parking stalls (41,760 s.fbuilding/400 = 104 stalls) on the property.
MCC 11-13-3.A requires off-street parking facilities to be designed with
appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley, in a manner which will
least interfere with traffic movement. MCC 11-13-4.D requires all off-street
parking areas to be paved. MCC 11-13-3 requires parking spaces to be within
300-feet ofthe use served. MCC 11-13-4.F requires 90-degree parking stalls to be
9-feet wide and 19-feet long with a 25-foot wide drive aisle. The applicant has
depicted 18-foot long parking stalls with 6-foot sidewalks, allowing for I-foot of
vehicle overhang. This is an acceptable alternative to 19-foot stalls with 5-foot
sidewalks, provided the applicant be required to install wheel blocks to prevent
vehicles from overhanging the sidewalk more than one foot. Staff finds that the
applicant has shown enough parking to accommodate the proposed office uses
and that the parking as shown on the site plan complies with MCC.
The applicant has requested, and shown on the site plan, a 10-foot rear setback for
the proposed office buildings on Lots 11 and 12 as part of the detailed CUP
approval. A 20-foot rear setback is required in the L-O zone (MCC 11-9-1), but
setbacks can be modified through the Planned development process, excluding
those on the periphery on the Planned Development. MCC 12-6-2.A.5 states:
"Setbacks: AlonlZ the periphery of the planned development. the applicable
setbacks as established by the zoning district in which the project resides shall not
be reduced. " Requirements of the Planned Development ordinance cannot be
waived or modified through the Planned Development CUP process; therefore,
the applicant shall be required to modify the site plan to show a 20-foot rear
setback on Lots 11 and 12 along the north property line. See Site Specific
Condition #3 below.
The developer of Paramount Subdivision installed the required landscaping
adjacent to W. Cayuse Creek Drive, and that landscaping currently exists adjacent
to this site. The applicant is required to provide additional landscaping within the
parking areas and a 25-foot landscaped street buffer along Linder Road. The
applicant has shown on the plans a proposed 25-foot landscape buffer, which lies
within an area, denoted as "Future Right of Way" on the Preliminary Plat. MCC
12-13-10-2 requires that "All street buffers shall be located beyond any street
right of way and shall be maintained by the property owner upon which the buffer
lies." The applicant shall be required to: 1. Place the Future Right of Way in a
separate platted lot in the subdivision (See Preliminary Plat Site Specific
Condition #9); 2. Provide the required landscape buffer outside of the Future
Right of Way lot (See Preliminary Plat Site Specific Condition #8).
City Council finds that the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed uses
and all yards (setbacks), open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features
required by ordinance.
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;
This site is designated as "Medium Density Residential" on the Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Map and zoned L-O. The L-O zoning was granted to the
property through a "Use Exception" that was approved as part of the Planned
Development for Paramount Subdivision. The applicant stated in the February
14, 2005, application letter that "The uses will provide services (medical, dental,
optical, neighborhood retail, etc.) that will be complementary to the residents of
the surrounding area." Staff finds that the previous approval for the Planned
Development did not approve retail uses in this L-O zone and that retail uses are
not allowed in the L-O zone per the Zoning Schedule of Use Control contained in
MCC 11-8-1. The Development Agreement for Paramount Subdivision
specifically states: "Uses Permitted By This Agreement: 4.1: The uses allowed
pursuant to this Agreement are only those uses allowed under "City's" Zoning
Ordinance codified at Meridian City Code Section 11-7-2 (D, F, G, and K) which
are herein specified as follows: Construction and development of a planned
development consisting of764 single-family building lots, 73 townhouse lots, 270
apartments, 4 mixed-use areas with approximately 577,606 s.f. of office and retail
space, and 32 COmmon lots on 392.17 acres in proposed R-8, R-40, L-O and C-G
zones." Staff finds that only uses permitted in the L-O zone shall be allowed in
the proposed development. See Site Specific Condition #4 below.
City Council finds that if the applicant complies with the conditions included in
this report, the building configurations and overall design of the development
would be in general conformance with the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan
and will be in general conformance with the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance. Further, City Council finds that the development plan is consistent
with the recorded zoning resolution, development agreement, and previous
development approvals granted by the City for this site.

shall execute City of Meridian standard forms of easements, for any mains that
are required to provide service. Cover over sanitary sewer mains shall be no less
than 3-feet from finish grade to the top of the pipe. If cover is less than 3-feet
from the sub-grade to the top of pipe, alternate pipe materials shall be used per the
Meridian Public Works Department's Standard Specifications.
On March 25, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. All of the detailed
conditions from the Meridian Police Department, Meridian Fire Department, and
other agencies/departments are at the end of this report.
I.
City Council finds that the subject property can be served adequately by all
essential public facilities and City services.
F.
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;
The developer will be required to finance the extension of sewer, water, utilities
and pressurized irrigation to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve
the site will be fire and police services. City Council finds there will not be
excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the proposed use will not
be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
