Summary of Public Ilearing: 1. In favor: Jessica Aguilar (Applicant's Representative), Tracy Vance (Applicant's Representative), and Colby Hawker (Applicant's Representative) 2. In opposition: None 3. Commenting: Barbara White, Lee White (at both hearings), and Theresa Smith 4. Staff presenting application: Craig Hoad S. Other staff commenting on application: Mike Cole and Bill Nary --- S. Key Xssues of Discussion by Commission: 1. The proposed driveway to Ten Mile Raad and obtaining consent from the adjacent property owner to utilize their property for access. 2. Hours of operation. 3. Screening and fencing of adjacent properties. C. Key Commission Changes to Staff Recommendation: 1. The Commission limited the hours of operation for businesses on this site to 6 am to 11 pm (see Cornment #2 of Exhibit C). 2. The Commission required afour-foot tall CMU wall to screen the Vance property to the north, as proposed by the applicant at the hearing (See Condition #3 of Exhibit D). 3. The Commission required additional screening for the White property to the north, as proposed by the applicant at the hearing (See Condition #3 of Exhibit D). D, Outstanding Issue(s) for City Council: The applicant is proposing to construct an off-site driveway, but until recently did not have consent from the adjacent property owner to do so. The applicant has recently reached an agreement with Mr. Vance to the north to use part of his property for vehicular access. The applicant has subsequently provided staff with a copy of the signed cross-access agreement. As part of the cross-access agreement between the applicant and Mr. Vance, the landscape buffer between the Walgreens and the properties to the north has been reduced down to 9.5 feet. Section "d" of Condition #3 of Exhibit D currently requires a 16-foot wide landscape buffer/island between the single-family homes to the north and the Walgreens site. Staff understands that one of the property owners to the north prefers the 9.5-foot wide buffer to the previously proposed 16-foot wide buffer. The Council should consider Qranting alternative corn liance to the landsca e buffer width b amendin Condition #3 of Exhibit D to reflect the ro osed chap e in buffer width. Condition #1 of Exhibit D requires revised site plans and landscape plans to be submitted 10 days before the Council hearing. As of the print deadline, staff has not received the copies of the revised plans. However, staff has spoken with the applicant and the applicant has agreed to submit copies prior to the Council hearing. Staff does not believe that the remaining changes to the site and landscape plan are significant enough to require the applicant to revise the plans prior to City Council action. Staff recomxn.e~ads that with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application, the applicant be required to submit revised plans that comply with the Council required changes. Staff recommends that the Council consider amending Condition #1 of Exhibit D. NOTE: Staff has already made this recommended change to Condition #1 of Exhibit D. All proposed changes are in bold and underlined in Exhibits C and D. E. Site Plan 1. Date of Site Plan: June 7, 2005 F. Recommended Development Agreement Requirements See attached Exhibit "C" G.

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; City Council finds that the 2002 Comprehensive Flan Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as "Public/Quasi-Public." Public, Quasi-Public, and Open Space areas are designated to preserve and protect existing private, municipal, state, and federal lands for area residents and visitors (Page 99, Comprehensive Plan). However, the Comprehensive Plan was recently amended with Resalutian No. 04-454, which states that upon redevelopment of properties designated for public, quasi-public, and open space, a change in designation and use may be appropriate. The redevelopment of these areas should be guided by the intensity of the existing use, the underlying zoning of the property, the surrounding land uses, the location of the property, and transportation issues associated with the proposed development of the property. The appropriate land use designation and accompanying zoning for these areas will be determined by City Council on a case by case basis. While the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map does not explicitly support a commercial zoning of this property, City Council finds that there are several Comprehensive Plan policies that support evaluating this site far a zone not specifically envisioned by the Map (see below). "The Meridian Comprehensive Plan is an official policy guide for decisions concerning the physical development of the community. It indicates, in a general way, how the community may develop in the next five to ten years." (Chapter I, Section B of the Comprehensive Plan) Furthermore, in Chapter VII, Section C, "Future Conditions" states the following: "Figure VII-2 [The Comprehensive Land Use Map] depicts desired future land use categories and their location within the Impact Area. The areas depicted on the map are conceptual and, therefore, will require further analysis prior to the creation of a zoning map." Exhibit E City Council believes that the public/quasi-public designation was placed on this property in 2002 when the Comprehensive Plan was adopted because it was functioning as a church. The Comprehensive Plan did not originally anticipate any churches redeveloping with non-public/quasi-public uses; Resolution No. 04-454 does accommodate for redeveloping churches. Further, the other three corners of the Ten Mile Road/Cherry Lane intersection have developed with non-residential uses. Due to the development patterns of the surrounding area, City Council believes it would be appropriate to extend the commercial designation from the southwest (Albertson's) to this property. City Council further finds that a commercial zone/use could harmoniously co-exist with the residential uses to the north and east as well as the commercial uses to the south, west and southwest. However, due to the close proximity of the single-family homes, City Council is recommending that any future use on this site be required to obtain CUP approval. The applicant has requested C-G zoning (General Retail and Service Commercial District) for this property. The purpose of the C-G zone is to "provide for commercial uses which are customarily operated entirely or almost entirely within a building; to provide for a review of the impact of proposed commercial uses which are auto and service oriented and are located in close proximity to major highway or arterial streets; to fulfill the need of travel-related services as well as retail sales for the transient and permanent motoring public." MCC 11-7-2 City Council finds that the requested C-G zoning designation and subsequent retail use with adrive-through is consistent with the definition of the zone. City Council believes that the quasi-public area that will be converted to commercial with the approval of this application will be relocated to Black Cat Road where the church intends to construct a new building. The church has submitted an annexation application to the City requesting that 5 acres of land located on Black Cat Road, south of Cherry Lane, be annexed and zoned to L-O for a new church (AZ-OS-024). City Council believes that if both zoning amendments are approved, the designated public/quasi-public area designated on the Future Land Use Map far this site will be preserved, just in an area approximately one mile to the west. City Council also finds the following Goals, Objectives, and Action items contained in the 2002 Comprehensive Flan to be applicable to this application (analysis is in italics below policy): • "Restrict curb cuts and access points an collectors and arterial streets." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 2) On the submitted site plan, the applicant is proposing direct access to Cherry Lane and Ten Mile Road, both arterial streets. The ACHD has tentatively approved aright-in/right-out only access to Cherry Lane and a full access to Ten Mile Road. The full access approval to Ten Mile Road is conditioned on 3 Exhibit E the applicant obtaining consent from the property owner to the north (Vance) to construct a portion of the driveway on his property. See comments from ACRD for further analysis. • "Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transpoztation corridors (setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 4) By City Ordinance, a 25 foot wide landscape buffer is required adjacent to Cherry Lane and Ten Mile Road (MCC 12-13-10-4. Twenty f ve foot wide buffers, exclusive afyight-of--way, should be constructed adjacent to the arterial streets. "Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping." (Chapter V, Goal III, Objective D, Action item 5) In order to operate a commercial business on this site, the applicant will be required to construct landscaping along Ten Mile Road, Cherry Lane, adjacent to the single family residences, and internally. The applicant has asked for an alternative to compliance with the standard 2S foot wide landscape buffer requirement to the north. "Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all public services" (Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action items 1 and 4) On May 27, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with representatives of key service providers to this property. In that meeting na deficiencies of public services to serve this property were raised. • "Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the Impact Area." (Chapter VII, Goal 1, Objective B) City Council believes that the proposed zone does contribute to the variety of uses in this area. Ci Council ands that the new zonin to C-G can be harmonious with and in accordance with the Com rehensive Plan as amended b Resolution No. 04- 454 i the a licant enters into a develo went a reement and all the conditions o a royal or the concurrent conditional use ermit are com lied with. B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be re-zoned in the future; 4 .Exhibit E City Council finds that the proposed re-zone and accompanying development plans generally comply with the requested zone and City Council 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-for example, a residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use permits; Retail uses are principally permitted (allowed) in the requested C-G zone. However, drive-in/drive-through establishments require CUP approval in all commercial zoning districts ofthe City (MCC 11-8-1). City Council finds that the applicant has concurrently submitted detailed development plans for a Conditional Use Permit for the proposed dual drive-through lanes with the rezone request. City Council further finds that the proposed retail use with adrive- through will only be allowed with the approval of the requested CUP (CUP-OS- 029). D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area; The arterial streets adjacent to this site have been widened to five lanes adjacent to this site. Ten Mile Road, from Franklin Road to Ustick Road, is currently within ACHD's b'ive-Year Work Program for reconstruction. City Council finds that the other three corners have been developed in a fashion similar (non- residential) to the proposed development. Further, the recent annexation and zoning of several residential subdivisions in this area have made the current church building too small for the growing congregation. City Council finds that these factors dictate that the subject property be rezoned and developed commercially. E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing ar intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the essential character of the same area; City Council has included conditions related to design, construction, operation and maintenance that City Council believes will allow the proposed use(s) to be consistent with the existing character of the general vicinity. City Council believes that the character of the area will change with the approval of the subject applications; however, City Council believes that the change is appropriate. F. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses; 5 1Jxhibit E City Council finds that a 24-hour drive-through pharmacy may be disturbing to the existing residents in the area. However, if landscape buffers and access points are installed, and the hours of operation are limited, City Council finds that the requested rezone and subsequent commercial uses and drive-through should not be disturbing to the existing or future neighboring uses. To ensure that any future use on this site will not be hazardous or disturbing, any future change of use on the property will also require conditional use permit approval, and adjoining property owners will have an opportunity to comment. 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; On May 27, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with representatives of key service providers to this property. Based on the joint agency/department meeting and other comments received from agencies/departments, City Council finds that the public services listed above can be made available to accommodate the proposed development. Sanitary sewer and water are currently available to this site. Water mains are located in both Ten Mile Road, and VW. Cherry Lane. Sewer mains are located in N. Ten Mile Road. The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay any applicable park and highway impact fees as well as construct on-site storm water drainage facilities. City Council finds that the proposed uses can be adequately served by all essential public services and facilities. 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; City Council finds that the requested zoning/uses will not create excessive additional requirements at public costs fax public facilities and services. Additionally, City Council 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; If the subject rezone application is approved, the applicant intends to construct a retail building with adrive-through and a future retail/bank building on this site. 6 Exhibit E Based on the traffic impact study prepared for this develapment, the site is anticipated to add 1,115 new vehicle trips to the road network at full build out. City Council finds that the proposed use and zone will generate additional traffic on adjacent roadways above and beyond the existing church. City Council recognizes that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this develapment; however, City Council does not believe that the amount generated will be detrimental to the general welfare of the public. City Council does not anticipate the proposed zone and subsequent use(s) will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. If all conditions of approval are complied with, City Council finds that the proposed zoning/use should not be detrimental to people, property or the general welfare of the area. 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; On Tune 8, 2005, the ACHD Board of Commissioners approved two vehicular access points for this site. Although neither of the access points meets the District's policy for location, the Board approved aright-in/right-out driveway to Cherry Lane and a full access driveway to Ten Mile Road. City Council finds that the approved vehicular approaches to the property should not interfere with general traffic patterns on the adjacent public streets. Please refer to the ACHD report for more details on access to this property. The proposed site plan shows twa drive-through lanes and an escape lane on the east side of the proposed building. City Council is supportive of the layout for the proposed drive-through lanes and proposed traffic flow pattern for this lot, as stacking vehicles should not interfere with internal traffic flows or traffic flows on the adjacent streets. K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major importance. City Council is unaware of any natural of scenic features of major importance an this site and finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or damaged by approving the rezone application. L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City; In accordance with the findings listed above, City Council finds that the pzoposed zonin of this ro ert would be in the best interest of the Cit . 7 EXHIBIT F Walgreens on Ten Mile Road CUP-OS-029 CUP Findings 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 find 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; All proposed building setbacks meet the minimum standards outlined in Titles 11, Meridian City Code. City Ordinance requires one (1) off-street parking space per 200 square feet of retail use. The proposed retail building is 14,490 square feet. Thus, the project requires seventy-two (72) spaces for the retail use; $0 spaces are proposed. The required landscape buffer between the proposed retail use and the residences to the north and east is 25-feet. A 25-foot wide buffer is proposed to the east. Meridian City Code requires that within three (3) years, sixty percent (60%) ar more of the vertical surface is closed and prevents the passage of vision through it. The applicant is requesting alternative compliance to the required landscape buffer to the north. The applicant originally proposed to retain the wood fence along the east boundary. At the neighborhood meeting, an adjacent neighbor, stated that the three residences to the east would prefer to have a CMU wall. The applicant has agreed to replace the existing wood fence and construct a CMU wall along the east property line, up to the we111ot. City Council finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the required yards (setbacks), open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by the ordinance for retail uses. However, the applicant is requesting alternative compliance for the land use buffer to the north. 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; Please see Standards for Zoning Amendment "A". The proposed site plan shows two drive-through lanes and an escape lane on the east side of the proposed building. City Council is supportive of the layout for the proposed drive-through Exhibit F lanes and proposed traffic flow pattern for this lot, as stacking vehicles should not interfere with internal traffic flows or traffic flaws an the adjacent streets. City Council finds that if the applicant complies with all conditions of approval noted in this report, the development will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accord with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. 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 of the same area; Please see Standards for Zoning Amendment "A". D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity; If the applicant complies with all conditions of approval, City Council does not anticipate that the proposed development will have an adverse impact on other property in the vicinity. E. 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; Please see Standards far Zoning Amendment "G". F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public cast for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community; Please see Standards for Zoning Amendment "H". 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; Please see Standards for Zoning Amendment "I". 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; Exhibit F Please see Standards for Zoning Amendment "r". I. 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. City Council does not believe that the proposed development vcrill result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. 4
