Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Counseling and Massage Therapy Center in a Proposed 0- T Zone, by Ruth and Jeff Ulmer (File No. CUP-05- 028). . We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATIONS SUMMARY The applicants, Jeff and Ruth Ulmer, have requested approval ofarezone of 0.13 acres from R-8 to a-To The Comprehensive Plan depicts the subject property as Old Town, in harmony with the requested zoning designation. The applicant also requests a conditional use permit (CUP) for a counseling and massage therapy center to be operated on the property. Professional offices are conditional uses in the Old Town zone. The professional office building is a remodel of an existing home and garage along N. East 5th Street at the southeast comer of the intersection with E. State Street. This report contains several special considerations for the Commission and Council. Upon resolution of those items, staff recommends approval ofthe project with the conditions noted in this report. LOCATION & SURROUNDING USES The subject property is located at 934 N. East 5th Street, at the southeast intersection ofN. East 5th RZ-O5-002, CUP-05-082 Uhner.RZ.CUP.doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council June 16,2005 (Hearing Date) Page 2 Street and E. State Street in downtown Meridian. The following uses surround the subject property: North - State Street and existing residences, zoned R-8. South - Existing Residences, zoned R-8. East - Existing Residences, zoned R-8. West - N. East 5th Street and Existing Residences, zoned R-8. OWNER OF RECORD Jeff and Ruth Ulmer, the owners of record, have submitted the subject applications. STANDARDS FOR ZONING AMENDMENT The Commission and Council shall 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 (11-15-11).. 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; Staff finds that the requested Old Town (0- T) zoning designation is in accord with the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map, which delineates the subject property as "Old- Town". The text of the Comprehensive Plan (page 99) supports a variety of uses in the O-T zone, including offices. B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be re-zoned in the future; Staff finds that the proposed re-zone and accompanying development plans comply with the requested zone and staff does not anticipate that the property will be rezoned in the future. c. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning; Staff finds that the applicant has submitted detailed development plans for a Conditional Use Permit for the property. Staff further finds that the proposed office/retail use will only be allowed with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit in the proposed O-T zone. D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that the area should be rezoned; Staff finds that the City's Comprehensive Plan has provided the applicant with the ability to request the 0- T zone for the subject property. Much of downtown Meridian has already redeveloped to a mix of residential, office, and commercial uses, which is the intent of the RZ-OS-O02, CUP-OS-O28 UlmeLRZ.CUP.doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council June 16,2005 (Hearing Date) Page 3 Old Town zoning district. The nearest properties zoned a-Tare approximately two blocks to the west along State Street and currently contain residences. The closest properties which are zoned 0- T and being used for non-residential uses are approximately two blocks west and one block south, the intersection of E. Pine Avenue and E. 3rd Street. The area immediately surrounding the property is zoned residential, and rezoning the subject property to a-Twill be a "spot zone" until other properties in the area are rezoned. It is anticipated, however, that the zoning of the area immediately surrounding this property will change in the future in accordance with the "Old Town" Comprehensive Plan designation. 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; Staff finds that the proposed development may change the existing character of the neighborhood, but is appropriate with the intended character ofthe "Old Town" designation of the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The area immediately surrounding the property is residential in appearance and character, and the addition of an office use with the associated off-street parking and traffic it generates could change the existing character of the neighborhood. It is anticipated, however, that the character of the area immediately surrounding this property will change to a mix of residential, office, and retail uses in the future in accordance with the "Old Town" Comprehensive Plan designation. The Commission and Council should consider all public testimony, oral and written, before making this finding. F. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses; Staff finds that the requested rezone should not be disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses. Through the comp plan process, the City determined that compact, infill development is appropriate for the area. Any future change of use on the property that may have a significant impact on the surrounding properties will require conditional use approval under current ordinances, and adjoining property owners will have an opportunity to comment. Staff anticipates that the proposed office building use will not be hazardous or disturbing to the neighboring uses. The Commission and Council should consider all public testimony, oral and written, before making this finding. G. 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 service; RZ-OS-OOZ, CUP-QS-028 Ulmer.RZ.CUP.doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council June 16,2005 (Hearing Date) Page 4 Staff finds that the proposed uses can be adequately served by all essential public services and facilities. Drainage will need to be retained on site. H. 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; Staff finds that the requested uses will not create excessive additional requirements at public costs for public facilities and services. Additionally, staff finds that the proposed rezone would not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. I. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment, and conditions that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; Staff finds that the proposed 0- T zoning designation of the property does not inherently allow uses that will generate activities, processes, materials, equipment, and conditions that are detrimental to the general welfare of the community. J. 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 0- T zoning will not interfere with general traffic patterns on any public streets. Please refer to the ACHD staff report for a full report on traffic issues. K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major importance. Staff finds that no natural or scenic features will be lost or damaged by the project. L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City; Staff finds that the proposed rezone would be in the best interest of the City by allowing a property owner to make improvements to the property for re-development that would otherwise not be allowed without the rezone. SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS (Rezone) 1. The legal description submitted with the application is accurate and meets the requirements of the City of Meridian and State Tax Commission. 2. The subject property is within the Urban Services Planning Area. RZ-O5-002, CUP-05-028 Uhner.RZ.CUP.doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council June 16,2005 (Hearing Date) Page 5 3. A Development Agreement will not be necessary with this rezone. All conditions of approval will be made as part ofthe Conditional Use Permit. 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; The applicant is proposing 2,412 s.f. of office space. Ordinance requires one (1) off-street parking space per 400 s.f. for professional offices, thus, the project requires six (6) spaces for the office use. Six (6) spaces are provided per the site plan. Staff is aware that the structure has a basement which is included in the 2,412 square feet of proposed office space. The submitted site plans show a twenty foot (20') wide drive aisle adjacent to the parking spaces to the east of the structure. MCC 11-13-4.F requires a twenty-five foot (25') drive aisle adjacent to all parking spaces. The applicant should be required to widen the drive aisle to twenty-five feet (25') and shift the parking spacing correspondingly to the east. This reduces the width of the planter along the east property line to two feet (2 '), which is discussed below. Due to site constraints and the required parking space and drive aisle dimensions per Meridian City Code, the applicant cannot meet the requirements for a five foot (5 ') landscape strip adjacent to parking areas or the required land use buffers. The required land use buffer between the proposed office use and the residences to the south and east is twenty feet (20'). Meridian City Code requires that within three (3) years, sixty percent (60%) or more of the vertical surface within the land use buffer is to be closed by vegetation, preventing the passage of vision through it. This requirement can be reduced to one (1) tree per thirty-five feet (35') if a solid six foot (6') fence is provided. The applicant can only provide approximately two feet (2 ') of width due to site constraints and required parking located along the east property line and can only provide seven feet (7') to the south due to the location of the existing structure. Staff would support reduction of these required buffers through Alternative Compliance (MCC 12-13-8), and recommends that the applicant should be required to install a six foot (6') solid fence along the south and east property lines. In addition, the applicant should provide two (2) additional trees on along the south property line and one (1) additional tree along the east property line. The planter area between the parking lot and the east property line is too narrow for any trees, so staff recommends placing the required additional two trees as follows: 1. Move the Flowering Pear tree drawn in the southeast comer of the parking lot approximately nine feet (9') to the east and add an additional tree of similar size in the area between the Flowering Pear and the east property RZ-05-002, CUP-05-028 Uhner.RZ.CUP.doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council June 16,2005 (Hearing Date) Page 6 line; and 2. Add an additional tree approximately on the north property line, adjacent to the northernmost parking space. Staff finds that the subject property, as depicted, is large enough to accommodate the required parking, open spaces and landscaping required by the ordinance for an office use, as long as the buffers between land uses are approved under alternative compliance. c. 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 current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as Old Town. Staff finds that if the modifications required in this report are done, the application will meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. See items A and C under the Zoning Amendment Analysis. D. 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 of the same area; Staff finds the design concept to be compatible with the intended character of the area. See item E under the Zoning Amendment Analysis. E. 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 development will have an adverse impact on the surrounding property. However, the Commission and Council should consider any testimony given at the public hearings before making this finding. F. 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; See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item G. G. 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; See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item H. RZ-05-002, CUP-05-028 Ulmer,RL.CUP.doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council June 16,2005 (Hearing Date) Page 7 H. 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; See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item 1. I. 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; See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item J. J. 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. See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item K. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS 1. Parkin!! Lot Dimensions: The submitted site plans show a twenty foot (20 ') wide drive aisle adjacent to the parking spaces to the east of the structure. MCC ll-13-4.F requires a twenty- five foot (25') drive aisle adjacent to all parking spaces. The applicant shall widen the drive aisle to twenty-five feet (25') and shift the parking spacing correspondingly to the east. This reduces the width of the planter along the east property line to two feet (2 '), which is discussed in Item #2 below. See Site Specific Condition #1 below. 2. Land Use Buffers/Alternative Compliance: The uses to the south and east of the proposed project are currently residential. A strict interpretation of the landscape ordinance would require a 20 foot (20') buffer between land uses. The applicant can only provide approximately two feet (2 ') of width on the east property line due to site constraints and required parking, and can only provide seven feet (7 ') to the south due to the location of the existing structure. The property does qualify for Alternative Compliance, which allows for modifications to the landscape ordinance requirements, by meeting one or more of the required conditions, specifically Item C: "Due to a change in use on an existing site, the required landscape buffer is larger than can be provided." Staff would support reduction of these required buffers through Alternative Compliance (MCC 12-13-8), and recommends that the applicant should be required to install a six foot (6') solid cedar fence along the south and east property lines. In addition, the applicant should provide two (2) additional trees on along the south property line and one (1) additional tree along the east property line. The planter area between the parking lot and the east property line is too narrow for any trees, so staff recommends placing the required additional two trees as follows: 1. Move the Flowering Pear tree drawn in the southeast comer of the parking lot approximately nine feet RZ-05-002, CUP-05-028 Ulmer.RZ.CUP,doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council June 16,2005 (Hearing Date) Page 8 (9') to the east and add an additional tree of similar size in the area between the Flowering Pear and the east property line; and 2. Add an additional tree approximately on the north property line, adjacent to the northernmost parking space. See Site Specific Condition #2 below. 3. Street Buffers: Meridian City Code requires a ten foot (10') street buffer along local streets adjacent to commercial development. A minimum of one (1) tree per thirty-five lineal feet (35') and vegetative groundcover is required within this buffer. The applicant should be required to provide two (2) additional trees along the north property line in conformance with MCC 12-13-10. See Site Specific Condition #3 below. 4. License Agreement: The applicant shall be required to submit a recorded copy of a License Agreement with the Ada County Highway District which allows the placement of paving and landscape materials within the right of way prior to issuance of a Certificate of Zoning Compliance for the property. See Site Specific Condition #4 below. 5. Signag:e: No freestanding signs are proposed for this project and none are approved. MCC 11-14 does not establish specific standards for signs in the O-T zone. Since Old Town does not have specific signage regulations, any wall signs should be regulated by the L-O standards in the zoning ordinance (Table C, of MCC 11-14-10). The proposed directional sign to be located at the front entrance to the building is approved as proposed and does not require a sign permit, provided it adheres to the stipulations outlined in MCC 11-14-9. C .1. See Site Specific Condition #5 below. 6. Police Department Comments: In the May 27, 2005 joint agency/department comments meeting, the Meridian Police Department expressed concerns over the lack of windows on the east façade facing the parking lot. Prior to the City Council hearing, the applicant shall meet with the Police Chief and/or Planning Staff to discuss features that increase visibility, including but not limited to: doors and windows that look out on the public areas, front porches, and adequate nighttime lighting. The site plan and/or landscaping plan shall be revised in accord with those. The Police Department has also stated that the east façade shall be modified to include windows that look onto the parking areas and/or other public areas. 7. Irrigation: Meridian City Code requires that this site be served with an automatic underground irrigation system. Use of non-potable irrigation water is required when determined to be available by the City Public Works Department as regulated by City Ordinance 9-1-28. If city potable water is used, a separate water meter is recommended so the owner can avoid paying sewer fees for irrigation water. If non-potable irrigation water is not available, the applicant shall provide evidence to that effect to the Public Works Department. See Site Specific Condition #8 below.

RECOMMENDATION Upon resolution of the remaining issues raised in this report, staff recommends approval of this application with the aforementioned conditions of approval. RZ-O5-O02, CUP-05-028 UImer,RZ,CUP,doc Opposition to RZ 05-007 and CUP 05-028 We would like it to be noted to the commissioners that we oppose the request for the rezoning of934 E. 5th Street from R-8 to O-T. We want it noted that we oppose the Conditional Use Pennit for Meridian Counseling & Wellness Center. We do not want a business increasing traffic and bringing troubled individuals into our residential neighborhood. This is where we live, where our children play, and where we keep our valuables. The requestors do not live here, and therefore are assuming none of the risks that residents are. There are many more reasons for the objection but to be brief we simply oppose RZ 05-007 and CUP 05-028.
