PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS
Sections 12-3-3.J.2 and 12-3-5.D of Meridian City Code read as follows: In detennining the acceptance ofa
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 currently designated as "Commercial" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
and is zoned L-O (Limited Office). In Chapter VII ofthe Comprehensive Plan, "Commercial" areas
are anticipated to provide a full range of commercial and retail to serve area residents and visitors.
Uses may include retail, wholesale, service and office uses, multi-family residential, as well as
appropriate public uses such as government offices.
Staff 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):
. "Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping." (Chapter V, Goal ill,
Objective D, Action item 5)

Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
Hearing Date: June 16, 2005
Page 3
The applicant has proposed extensive landscapingfor the site, including a larger than required land
use buffer separating this development from the adjoining residential neighborhood to the west.
.
"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)
This is an infill development site and is readily serviceable by City of Meridian's sanitary sewer and
water systems. Meridian Fire and Police have commented that they can serve the property.
.
"Identify transitional zones to buffer commercial and residential uses, to allow uses such as
offices and other low intensity uses. (Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B, Action item 5)
The subject property is zoned L-O (Limited Office) and provides a low impact transition from the C-
G zoned properties to the east to the residential properties to the west.
Staff 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 SW 5th Avenue via the one proposed access point. 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 via existing mains in SW
5th Avenue and the common lot abutting the south property line. The applicant will be responsible to
construct sewer mains to and through this proposed development. The applicant shall coordinate
main sizing and routing, for any mains required to provide service, with the Public Works
Department. Applicant shall execute City of Meridian standard forms of easements, for any mains
that are required to provide service.
On May 27,2005, ajoint 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.
The Commission and Council should reference any written or verbal testimony submitted by the
Meridian Police Department, the Meridian Fire Department, the Meridian Parks Department, and any
other agency providing service to this site, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
Staff finds that the subject property can be served adequately by all essential public facilities and
City services.

PP-05-022, CUP-05-030
Woodpenn.PP.CUP.doc
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
Hearing Date: June 16,2005
Page 4
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, utilities and irrigation, for the development at their
cost, staff finds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement program.
D.
The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
Staff 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. Staff
recommends that the Commission and Council reference any written and/or verbal testimony
submitted by the Meridian Police and Fire Departments 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.

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 86 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 53 parking stalls (21,000s.fbuilding/400 = 53 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
20-foot long parking stalls with 6-foot sidewalks. The applicant should be required to install wheel
blocks to prevent vehicles from overhanging the sidewalk more than one foot, or increase the
sidewalk width to seven feet (7') and reduce the parking space length to nineteen feet (19'). 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 developer of Troutner Business Park Subdivision installed the required sidewalk adjacent to SW
5th Avenue and the landscaping currently existing along the western boundary of this site. The
applicant is required to provide additional landscaping within the parking areas and a lO-foot
landscaped street buffer along SW 5th Avenue. The applicant should be required to place the
proposed street buffer within an easement in favor of the Business Owner's Association. (See
Preliminary Plat Site Specific Condition #1). Meridian City Code requires a 20 foot (20') land use
buffer between the proposed office uses and the existing residential uses to the west. The applicant
has shown on the plans a land use buffer that is approximately 40 feet wide, which far exceeds the
requirements of the ordinance.

the City for this site. See further discussion under Preliminary Plat Analysis Item "A" above.
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 ofthe general vicinity
and that such use will not adversely change the essential character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed office buildings should be compatible with other uses in the
neighborhood and with the intended character of the general vicinity, which includes a mix of
residential, commercial, and office uses. Meridian City Code requires a 20 foot (20') land use buffer
between the proposed office uses and the existing residential uses to the west. The applicant has
shown on the plans a land use buffer that is approximately 40 feet wide, which far exceeds the
requirements of the ordinance. The Council and Commission should consider public testimony
when determining if the proposed use will adversely change the essential character of the general
vicinity.
D.
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 have an adverse affect on other property in the
vicinity if designed, constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with the Site Specific and
General Conditions of approval. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely upon
public testimony, staff s analysis, and other agency comments when determining if the proposed uses
will adversely affect the other properties 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;
Staff finds that the subject property can be served adequately by all essential public facilities and
City services. See further discussion under Preliminary Plat Analysis Item "B" above.
F.

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;
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed uses, will be detrimental to the general welfare of the
community by means of producing excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors generated
by the proposed uses.
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;
The applicant is not proposing to construct any new vehicular approaches int%ut of the
property. ACHD considers vehicular approaches in their analysis of projects and has previously
approved the access points for this parcel. Staff finds that the proposed use and associated
approaches will not create interference with any traffic on the surrounding public streets. Please

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
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 proj ect 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:

If all stonn drainage is retained on-site there will be no impact on Narnpa & Meridian

However, if any surface drainage leaves the site, the Narnpa & Meridian Irrigation District

contact Donna Moore at 466-7861 for further infonnation.
All laterals and waste ways must be protected. The developer must comply with Idaho Code

RE:
Land Use Change Application - Wood penn Subdivision
Please note the District now reQuires ~s of pt!!:!!
Dear Mr. Warnick:
Enclosed please find a Land Use Change Application for your use to file with the Irrigation
District for its review on the above-referenced development. If this development is under a
"rush" to be finalized, I would recommend that you submit a cashier's check, money order or
cash as payment of the fees in order to speed the process up. If you submit a company or
personal check, it must clear the bank before processing the application.
Should this development be planning a pressure urban irrigation system that will be owned,
operated and maintained by the Irrigation District, I strongly urge you to coordinate with John P.
Anderson, Water Superintendent for the Irrigation District, concerning the installation of the
pressure system. Enclosed is a questionnaire that you must fill out and return in order to initiate
the process of contractual agreements between the owner or developer and the Irrigation
District for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the pressure urban irrigation system.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or John P. Anderson, at the District's shop.
