Zoning Amendment Findings
According to Meridian City Code (MCC) 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to
Zoning Amendments, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and Council are required
"to 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."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff:
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 General Commercial (C-G) zoning designation is in
accord with the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map, which delineates
the subject property as "Mixed Use-Regional". Meridian City Code (MCC) 11-7-
2.1. states the purpose of the C-G district is "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." The following Comprehensive Plan policies also support the annexation
and proposed retail/fuel service use (staff analysis is in italics below policy):
.
"Permit new. . . commercial developments only where urban
services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval
and development is contiguous to the City." (Chapter IV, pg. 26,
Goal I, Obj. A, #6)
Sanitary sewer, municipal water, solid waste and other services
exist to this area of Meridian. The subject site is readily
serviceable by City of Meridian's sanitary sewer and water
systems. These connections have not been defined and required
detailed approval from Public Works prior to final approval. One
of the comments received from the Fire Department states that the
location has several items of concern that would require
compliance upon approval of a detailed site plan and/or
subdivision and/or conditional use permit issuance.
.
"Require all new parking lots to provide landscaping in internal
islands." (Chapter V, pg. 43, Goal III, Obj. D, #3)
Dorado Subdivision
Exhibit G
Dorado Subdivision
Exhibit G
The Site Plan submitted with the future detailed CUP applications
for this property shall show internal planters, as required.
.
"Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within
the Impact Area." (Chapter VII, Goal 1, Objective B)
The proposed and existing uses do provide a variety of commercial
uses in this area, as envisioned with the Comprehensive Plan.
.
"Locate new community commercial areas on arterials. . .near
residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining
residential areas." (Chapter VII, pg. 43, Goal III, Obj. D, #3)
The subject property has frontage on two arterial roadways. The
existing uses adjacent to this site are existing residential uses but
are anticipated to develop as commercial uses in the
Comprehensive Plan. Because the adjoining properties are still
somewhat rural in nature (not annexed), the development of retail
uses as described in the Conceptual plan may complement the
existing uses for several years. Depending on how the rest of the
site builds-out, this development mayor may not compliment
adjoining residential developments to the west of the site.
The proposed commercial uses are located closest to the
intersection of the interstate and two principle arterial roadways.
A 35-foot wide street buffer is shown along Eagle Road and a 35-
foot wide street buffer is shown along Overland Road, designed in
part to mitigate potential negative impacts upon the vehicular
traffic from 1-84 on Eagle Road.
.
"Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial
streets." (Chapter VII, pg. 107, Goal IV, Obj. D, #2)
Access to Eagle Road and Overland Road including right-in/right-
out and shared accesses allowing travel towards the east/Eagle
Road are subject to the conditions of ACHD. No north bound
turning shall be allowed on Eagle Road. A cross access agreement
within the properties at the future property boundaries will be
required so the cuts can be shared with adjacent development. In
addition, access to the 1-84 off ramp is prohibited in compliance
with lTD.
.
"Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation
corridors (setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (Chapter
VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 4)
Staff finds that the existing building setbacks, landscape
inadequacies, and the potential for redevelopment create a unique
situation for the site. In order to mitigate anticipated problems a
development agreement will be required and detailed Conditional
Use Permits should be considered.
.
"Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain
landscaping." (Chapter V, Goal III, Objective D, Action item 5)
The Applicant has addressed the requirement to install
landscaping adjacent to the existing off-site residential uses. The
Applicant has requested approval to reduce the standard
landscape buffer width from 25' to 5 '. Staff has included
conditions that require standard setbacks for landscaping and
buildings to be installed upon receipt of a detailed development
proposal and prior to issuance of any building permits.
.
"Consider "Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A
Recommended Approach" from the National Center for Bicycling
and Walking in all land use decisions." (Chapter VI, Goal II,
Objective A, Action item 3)
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and
walkway facilities in new construction and reconstruction projects,
in a manner that is safe, accessible and convenient. The regional
Multi-Use pathway is shown on the Future Land Use Map for this
site. Properties in the near vicinity have oriented this pathway
system closer to Locust Grove Road. Given the future Locust
Grove Road overpass being constructed, the existing pathway
locations, on-street bike paths on Overland Road, and the
dangerous nature of the Eagle Road overpass, staff feels the
requirement for a multiuse pathway on this site should be waived
in favor of a location to cross 1-84 being located at Locust Grove
Road.
B.
Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
Staff does not anticipate that the Applicant intends to rezone the subject property
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 commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
Dorado Subdivision
Exhibit G
Staff finds that the Applicant has not submitted a detailed development plan for
the mixed uses on the property. Staff further finds that the proposed restaurants,
proposed hotel, and proposed bank businesses are allowed within the appropriate
zoning designations in this mixed use area, however since the projects are
conceptual in nature and require detailed public works approval, all uses on this
site shall obtain a conditional use permit, or the Applicant must submit a detailed
development plan of such quality that Public Works and the Meridian Fire
Department are able to make appropriate comments. See Conditional Use/PD Site
Specific Approval #2. The purpose of the C-G District is to provide for
commercial uses, which are customarily operated entirely or almost entirely
within a building (MCC 11- 7-2.K). Staff finds that the proposed uses principally
permitted uses in the C-G zone and consistent with the C-G purpose.
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;
EI Dorado and Silverstone Business developments have recently been annexed
and developed with commercial land uses in this area. There are several
developments in the area that have developed in a fashion similar to the proposed
rezone area.
Overland Road has recently been widened and improved. Eagle Road south of
the interstate has recently been widened and improved at the Eagle/Overland
Intersection. . The intersection of Overland Road/Eagle Road is a signalized,
controlled intersection. The Commission and Council should rely on the
preceding facts and any public testimony to determine whether the changes in the
area dictate that this area should be annexed into the City and zoned C-G at this
time.
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 C-G zone with the proposed retail, office and hotel
uses, if designed, constructed and operated in accordance with adopted city
ordinances, should be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the
intended character of the vicinity. The site is intended for commercial uses which,
based on the Comprehensive Plan description, will have such uses as retail,
wholesale, service and office uses, as well as appropriate public uses such as
government offices.
Dorado Subdivision
Exhibit G
F.
Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
There are no existing uses on this site. The site does have a floodplain which will
require engineering and mitigation prior to building(s) closest to the Five Mile
Creek. Staff feels this section of floodplain can be addressed by the Applicant to
mitigate any future impacts to proposed tenants. Appropriate buffers should be
required on the north and west boundaries of this development, as the abutting
uses are less-intense than the proposed uses (see MCC 12-13-12-4). The
Commission and Council should rely on public testimony to determine whether
the proposed uses will be disturbing or hazardous to the neighboring uses.
G.
Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Staff finds that the recent roadway improvements to Overland Road should be
adequate to serve this project if the majority of traffic is directed to Eagle Road
from Overland Road. Based on recent correspondences, ACHD does not
anticipate additional right-of-way and/or a frontage road adjacent to/through this
property. Improvements to Overland Road in this area have taken place in the
recent past including the signalization at Eagle Road, improvements are not
anticipated within the next 20 years. Based on past correspondence with ACHD,
Planning staff believes that this site will add a significant amount of traffic to the
roadway system upon build out. This site has over 880 feet of frontage on
Overland Road and approaches an intersection with Loder Place. Based on future
commercial development applications staff is conditioning that the Applicant
enter into a development agreement with the City to ensure improvements
(landscaping, future road intersections.) to the west property boundary, be subject
to ACHD requirements with no offsite access to the west during construction,
with site-specific standards conditions to be met in accordance with approval of
the subject development.
On May 13, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. The Meridian Fire
Department has concerns with serviceability of this site, as the proposal does not
detail the uses or internal circulation. Because the Applicant has not identified all
future buildings within this development, such buildings will be subject to further
review and comments by Meridian Fire Department.
The Commission and Council should reference any written or verbal testimony
submitted by the Meridian Police Department, and any other agency not listed
above, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
Dorado Subdivision
Exhibit G
Staff finds that the property proposed for annexation can be served adequately by
all essential public facilities and services as conditioned.
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;
If this annexation/development is approved, the developer will be financing the
extension of sewer, water, local/internal street infrastructure, utilities and
irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the
future site will be fire and police services. Staff finds that this development will
not cause excessive additional requirements at public cost.
I.
Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff finds that the proposed uses do not involve activities, processes, materials,
equipment or conditions that could produce excessive traffic, noise, fumes and/or
odors, as well as other negative public impacts. MCC 11-12-2 and 11-12-3 are
intended to mitigate impacts of special uses such as fire hazards, bulk storage,
noises. Conditions associated with a CUP and/or Development Agreement could
establish use parameters that would prevent negative effects. In order to establish
guidelines to mitigate the anticipated impacts of the proposed uses, the Applicant
should be required to submit a conditional use permit for each building/use on this
site (see conditional use site specific condition of approval #2).
J.
Will the area 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 any future uses may impact the level and flow oftraffic on the
surrounding roadways. Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan states that the City
should "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets."
(Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 2). ACHD has made comment
and has indicated that they will approve the proposed access points, see ACHD
site specific conditions of approval.
K.
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
The Five-Mile Creek floodplain is a natural feature that may be lost, damaged or
destroyed by allowing this site to be annexed, zoned and developed with
commercial uses. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall
be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance.
Dorado Subdivision
Exhibit G
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 592,11-17-1992)"
Due to the existing residential uses to the west, and the large percentage of the
site that is within the Five Mile Creek floodplain, development of this site for
commercial purposes is d~fficult. Although staff anticipates that the properties to
the west will re-develop in the near future with higher and better uses, the City
should protect the existing uses until they do re-develop by requiring appropriate
landscape buffers and other provisions. Staff finds that the annexation and zoning
of this property, as mitigated through a development agreement, may be in the
best interest of the City for the following reasons:
. other developments in the area have developed in a fashion similar to the
proposed rezone area (commercial);
. municipal sanitary sewer and water systems are readily available to provide
service;
. the proposed retail, office and hotel uses involve activities, processes,
materials, equipment and/or conditions that will not produce excessive
additional traffic, noise, fumes and/or odors, as well as other negative public
impacts that can be mitigated through future development of the site; and,
. the other reasons listed in the findings above.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and Citv Council should consider whether
thev have sufficient information on the Applicant's proposal to determine if the
annexation is within the best interest of the City at this time.

Preliminary Plat Findings
PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REQUIREMENTS
Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance of a proposed
subdivision, the ConunissionlCouncil shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the
following:
a. The conformance of the snbdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan;
Staff finds that the CUITent zoning designation is in general compliance with the effective
Comprehensive Plan ('02) and the Future Land Use Map, which designates the land to be
"Mixed Use RegionaL" The comprehensive plan also identifies a multi use pathway
connecting the site to adjacent properties within the development. The Applicant has
indicated the pedestrian/multiuse pathway shall be re-Iocated off site due to safety
concerns. The pathway system should be relocated to the Future Locust Grove Road
Overpass.
Generally, the Mixed Use designation will provide for a combination of compatible land
uses that are typically developed under a master or conceptual plan. Sample Uses are
listed as entertainment, clean industry, and major employers. The office and retail uses
are similar to the sample uses listed on Page 98 Chapter VII of the Meridian City
Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed commercial uses witlún the subdivision are permissible under the land use
provisions of the MCC (11-8-1.) Therefore, Staff finds that the proposed subdivision is
in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan
b. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Staff finds that this development will not cause excessive additional requirements at
public cost. The property has existing sewer and water stubs served adequately by all
essential public facilities and services in Overland Road. The Applicant shall be required
to extend water and sanitary sewer mains to and through the proposed development,
thereby making them available to the adjacent properties to the west.
c. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program;
Staff finds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement plan.
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, utilities and iITigation, the subdivision
will not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds.
Dorado Subdivision
Exhibit H
d. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for providing
supporting services. See item b.
e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff finds that there should not be any other health, safety or envirorunental problems
associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's
attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. No hazardous natural
features have been identified on the site.

CUPIPD Findings
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 ifthey 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;
Due to the lack of a detailed planned development, staff is unable to fully analyze
the impacts of the proposal. The requirement of individual conditional use
permits should mitigate the need for an overall site plan as the landscaping,
parking and amenities shall be submitted in accordance with future approvals.
No amenities are shown on the conceptual plan. The Applicant shall provide a
minimum of two amenities as required by 12-6-3. The Applicant should specify
these amenities to the Planning and Zoning Commission at the hearing. The DA
should include the specific amenities.
Staff finds that the site should be large enough to accommodate the proposed
setbacks, landscaping, etc if developed under conditional approval for each
use/building.
B.
That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the

APPLICATIONS SUMMARY
The Applicant, Kimball Properties, has applied for Annexation/Zoning (AZ) approval of a
conceptual commercial subdivision on 10.9 acres within the proposed C-G zone and within the
Meridian entryway corridor designation. The Planned Development and Preliminary Plat are
conceptual in nature and expected to change. The site is located at the Northwest comer of
Overland Road and Eagle Road.
The subject development is eligible for annexation as it lies contiguous to the City of Meridian
on three sides and is within the urban service area. The proposed lots will be for assorted
retail and office uses. The site is currently vacant. The Applicant is requesting conceptual
approval for annexation purposes and has submitted a preliminary plat and planned
development for approval on July 7,2005.

This property is currently zoned RUT in Ada County and is designated in the City's
Comprehensive Plan as "Mixed Use-Regional". A CUP/PD application is required as all
Mixed Use Regional locations require a Planned Development within three hundred feet of a
residence (Meridian Comprehensive Plan, Page 98). Overland Way Subdivision (Ada County
R-l) is located immediately west of the subject site. The Applicant has Hot submitted detailed
plaRs for the proposed or existing projects and is reqt:lesting only conceptual approval at this
tiIHC. All æturø development within the boundaries of the site will require a detailed
conditionallise permit and/or futme Preliminary Plat approval for relocation of property lines.
Applicant has addressed the landscaping and other land use buffers adjacent to Overland and
Eagle Road in the landscape plan shown as L-l dated April 2005. The required buffers as per
MCC 12-13 are 25' from commercial to residential (Overland Way Subdivision) and 35 feet
for all entryway corridors, Eagle/Overland/I-84 Off ramp. The Applicant has shown a 50'
wide landscape buffer on the 1-84 off ramp; however this is listed as an undefined roadway
within an entryway corridor. Entryway corridors require a 35' landscape buffer, which will be
required for the north property line.
The Applicant has submitted a Planned Development application with the Annexation and Plat.
With the Planned Development the Applicant has requested amending the landscape
requirement between a commercial property and a residential property from 25' to 5',
amending the height requirement from 40' to 60', and making a bank/restaurant drive-thru a
permitted use. Staff does not support the requested ameadæents to the dimeFlsional standards.
See Conditional Use Analysis for staff s requirements.
The proposed open space I amenities have not been addressed upon Preliminary Plat, Planned
Development, or Conditional Use approval. The Planned Development is required to provide
two amenities listed in MCC 12-6, staff anticipates the amenities to be provided with the
individual use or detailed Planned Development approval as required.
The Applicant is considering two new access points and one existing access point: one new
access onto Overland road (designated right in/right out only), a Collector roadway, and one
right in only access point onto Eagle Road, a principal arterial roadway. Eagle Road south of 1-
84 and Overland Road are under the jurisdiction of the Ada County Highway District (ACHD),
ACHD has indicated approval of access at these locations. See the "Findings" in the Annexation
& Zoning section of this report, and the correspondence from ACHD for detailed analysis of the
proposed access points.
Staff has provided a general analysis for the requested annexation and zoning, preliminary plat,
and planned development applications below.
Staff is recommending approval of the subject annexation (AZ-05-019) preliminary plat (PP-
05-024) and Planned Development (CUP-05-0J]) subject to the comments and conditions
included in this report.

OWNER OF RECORD
The property owners of record are Kimball Properties, LLC and W.H. Moore, President, has
provided notarized consent for Steve Arnold - Stanley Consultants, to submit the subject
applications.
ANNEXATION AND ZONING FINDINGS
The legal description submitted with the application meets the requirements of the City of
Meridian and State Tax Commission. The subject property is within the Urban Service Planning
Area.
Because there are no current uses on this site, staff has combined the analysis of use with the
annexation and zoning findings.
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both
the P&Z Commission and Council are required "to 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."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff:
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 General Commercial (C-G) zoning designation is in accord
with the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map, which delineates the subject
property as "Mixed Use-Regional". Meridian City Code (MCC) 11-7-2.1. states the
purpose of the C-G district is "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." The following

Comprehensive Plan policies also support the annexation and proposed retail/fuel service
use (staff analysis is in italics below policy):
.
"Pennit new. . .commercial developments only where urban services can
be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is
contiguous to the City." (Chapter IV, pg. 26, Goal I, Obj. A, #6)
Sanitary sewer, municipal water, solid waste and other services exist to
this area of Meridian. The subject site is readily serviceable by City of
Meridian's sanitary sewer and water systems. These connections have not
been defined and required detailed approval from Public Works prior to
final approval. One of the comments received from the Fire Department
states that the location has several items of concern that would require
compliance upon approval of a detailed site plan and/or subdivision
and/or conditional use permit issuance.
.
"Require all new parking lots to provide landscaping in internal islands."
(Chapter V, pg. 43, Goal III, Obj. D, #3)
The Site Plan submitted with the future detailed CUP applications for this
property shall show internal planters, as required.
.
"Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the
Impact Area." (Chapter VII, Goal 1, Objective B)
The proposed and existing uses do provide a variety of commercial uses
in this area, as envisioned with the Comprehensive Plan.
.
"Locate new community commercial areas on arterials. . .near residential
areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining residential areas."
(Chapter VII, pg. 43, Goal III, Obj. D, #3)
The subject property has frontage on two arterial roadways. The existing
uses adjacent to this site are existing residential uses but are anticipated
to develop as commercial uses in the Comprehensive Plan. Because the
adjoining properties are still somewhat rural in nature (not annexed), the
development of retail uses as described in the Conceptual plan may
complement the existing uses for several years. Depending on how the rest
of the site builds-out, this development mayor may not compliment
adjoining residential developments to the west of the site.
The proposed commercial uses are located closest to the intersection of
the interstate and two principle arterial roadways. A 35-foot wide street
buffer is shown along Eagle Road and a 35-foot wide street buffer is

shown along Overland Road, designed in part to mitigate potential
negative impacts upon the vehicular traffic/rom 1-84 on Eagle Road.
.
"Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets."
(Chapter VII, pg. 107, Goal IV, Obj. D, #2)
Access to Eagle Road and Overland Road including right-in/right-out and
shared accesses allowing travel towards the east/Eagle Road are subject
to the conditions of ACHD. No north bound turning shall be allowed on
Eagle Road. A cross access agreement within the properties at the future
property boundaries will be required so the cuts can be shared with
adjacent development. In addition, access to the 1-84 off ramp is
prohibited in compliance with lTD.
.
"Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation corridors
(setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective D, Action item 4) .
Staff finds that the existing building setbacks, landscape inadequacies, and
the potential for redevelopment create a unique situation for the site. In
order to mitigate anticipated problems a development agreement will be
required and detailed Conditional Use Permits should be considered.
.
"Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping."
(Chapter V, Goal III, Objective D, Action item 5)
The Applicant has addressed the requirement to install landscaping
adjacent to the existing off-site residential uses. The Applicant has
requested approval to reduce the standard landscape buffer width from
25' to 5 '. Staff has included conditions that require standard setbacks for
landscaping and buildings to be installed upon receipt of a detailed
development proposal and prior to issuance of any building permits.
.
"Consider "Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A
Recommended Approach" from the National Center for Bicycling and
Walking in all land use decisions." (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A,
Action item 3)
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and
walkway facilities in new construction and reconstruction projects, in a
manner that is safe, accessible and convenient. The regional Multi-Use
pathway is shown on the Future Land Use Map for this site. Properties in
the near vicinity have oriented this pathway system closer to Locust Grove
Road. Given the future Locust Grove Road overpass being constructed,
the existing pathway locations, on-street bike paths on Overland Road,

and the dangerous nature of the Eagle Road overpass, staff feels the
requirement for a multiuse pathway on this site should be waived in favor
of a location to cross 1-84 being located at Locust Grove Road.
B.
Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future;
Staff does not anticipate that the Applicant intends to rezone the subject property 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 commercial area by means of conditional use permits;
Staff finds that the Applicant has not submitted a detailed development plan for the
mixed uses on the property. Staff further finds that the proposed restaurants, proposed
hotel, and proposed bank businesses are allowed within the appropriate zoning
designations in this mixed use area, however since the projects are conceptual in nature
and require detailed public works approval, all uses on this site shall obtain a conditional
use pennit, or the Applicant must submit a detailed development plan of such quality that
Public Works and the Meridian Fire Department are able to make appropriate comments.
See Conditional Use/PD Site Specific Approval #2. The purpose of the C-G District is to
provide for commercial uses, which are customarily operated entirely or almost entirely
within a building (MCC 11-7 -2.K). Staff finds that the proposed uses principally
pennitted uses in the C-G zone and consistent with the C-G purpose.
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;
El Dorado and Silverstone Business developments have recently been annexed and
developed with commercial land uses in this area. There are several developments in the
area that have developed in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area.
Overland Road has recently been widened and improved. Eagle Road south of the
interstate has recently been widened and improved at the Eagle/Overland Intersection. .
The intersection of Overland Road/Eagle Road is a signalized, controlled intersection.
The Commission and Council should rely on the preceding facts and any public
testimony to detennine whether the changes in the area dictate that this area should be
annexed into the City and zoned C-G at this time.
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;

Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council

Page 7
Staff finds that the proposed C-G zone with the proposed retail, office and hotel uses, if
designed, constructed and operated in accordance with adopted city ordinances, should be
harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the intended character of the vicinity.
The site is intended for commercial uses which, based on the Comprehensive Plan
description, will have such uses as retail, wholesale, service and office uses, as well as
appropriate public uses such as government offices.
F.
Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
There are no existing uses on this site. The site does have a floodplain which will
require engineering and mitigation prior to building(s) closest to the Five Mile Creek.
Staff feels this section of floodplain can be addressed by the Applicant to mitigate any
future impacts to proposed tenants. Appropriate buffers should be required on the north
and west boundaries of this development, as the abutting uses are less-intense than the
proposed uses (see MCC 12-13-12-4). The Commission and Council should rely on
public testimony to determine whether the proposed uses will be disturbing or hazardous
to the neighboring uses.
G.
Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as
highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal,
water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed zoning
amendment shall be able to provide adequately any of such services;
Staff finds that the recent roadway improvements to Overland Road should be adequate
to serve this project if the majority of traffic is directed to Eagle Road from Overland
Road. Based on recent correspondences, ACHD does not anticipate additional right-of-
way and/or a frontage road adjacent to/through this property. Improvements to Overland
Road in this area have taken place in the recent past including the signalization at Eagle
Road, improvements are not anticipated within the next 20 years. Based on past
correspondence with ACHD, Planning staff believes that this site will add a significant
amount of traffic to the roadway system upon build out. This site has over 880 feet of
frontage on Overland Road and approaches an intersection with Loder Place. Based on
future commercial development applications staff is conditioning that the Applicant enter
into a development agreement with the City to ensure improvements (landscaping, future
road intersections.) to the west property boundary, be subject to ACHD requirements
with no offsite access to the west during construction, with site-specific standards
conditions to be met in accordance with approval of the subject development.
On May 13, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. The Meridian Fire Department
has concerns with serviceability of this site, as the proposal does not detail the uses or
internal circulation. Because the Applicant has not identified all future buildings within
this development, such buildings will be subject to further review and comments by
Meridian Fire Department.

Page 8
The Commission and Council should reference any written or verbal testimony submitted
by the Meridian Police Department, and any other agency not listed above, regarding
their ability to adequately service this project.
Staff finds that the property proposed for annexation can be served adequately by all
essential public facilities and services as conditioned.
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;
If this annexation/development is approved, the developer will be financing the extension
of sewer, water, local/internal street inffastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve
the project. The primary public costs to serve the future site will be fire and police
services. Staff finds that this development will not cause excessive additional
requirements at public cost.
I.
Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment
and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the
general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors;
Staff finds that the proposed uses do not involve activities, processes, materials,
equipment or conditions that could produce excessive traffic, noise, fumes and/or odors,
as well as other negative public impacts. MCC 11-12-2 and 11-12-3 are intended to
mitigate impacts of special uses such as fire hazards, bulk storage, noises. Conditions
associated with a CUP and/or Development Agreement could establish use parameters
that would prevent negative effects. In order to establish guidelines to mitigate the
antici.,ated impacts of the proposed uses. the Applicant should be required to submit a
conditional use pennit for each buildinwuse on this site (see conditional use site specific
condition of approval #2).
J.
Will the area 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 any future uses may impact the level and flow of traffic on the
surrounding roadways. Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan states that the City should
"Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets." (Chapter VII,
Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 2). ACHD has made comment and has indicated that
they will approve the proposed access points, see ACHD site specific conditions of
approval.
K.
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of
major importance; and
The Five-Mile Creek floodplain is a natural feature that may be lost, damaged or
destroyed by allowing this site to be annexed, zoned and developed with commercial

uses. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per
the Landscape Ordinance.
L.
Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of Meridian. (Ord.
592,11-17-1992)"
Due to the existing residential uses to the west, and the large percentage of the site that is
within the Five Mile Creek floodplain, development of this site for commercial purposes
is difficult. Although staff anticipates that the properties to the west will re-develop in the
near future with higher and better uses, the City should protect the existing uses until they
do re-develop by requiring appropriate landscape buffers and other provisions. Staff finds
that the annexation and zoning of this property, as mitigated through a development
agreement, may be in the best interest of the City for the following reasons:
. other developments in the area have developed in a fashion similar to the proposed
rezone area (commercial);
. municipal sanitary sewer and water systems are readily available to provide service;
. the proposed retail, office and hotel uses involve activities, processes, materials,
equipment and/or conditions that will not produce excessive additional traffic,
noise, fumes and/or odors, as well as other negative public impacts that can be
mitigated through future development of the site; and,
. the other reasons listed in the findings above.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council should consider whether thev
have sufficient information on the Applicant's proposal to determine ifthe annexation is
within the best interest of the City at this time.
ANNEXATION AND ZONING COMMENTS
1. The legal description submitted with the application meets the requirements of the City of

adoption), and the developer. The Applicant shall contact the City Attorney, Bill Nary, at
888-4433 to initiate this process. The DA shall incorporate the following:
.
All future uses on proposed lots or parcels within the annmŒtion &rea shall be approved
through the CoflditioRal Use Permit process.
Prior to issuance of any building pennit on the subject property, all existing uses shall

Meridian Fire Department, and subject to the conditions of ACHD and lTD.
.
PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REQUIREMENTS
Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D 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;
Staff finds that the CUlTent zoning designation is in general compliance with the effective
Comprehensive Plan ('02) and the Future Land Use Map, which designates the land to be
"Mixed Use RegionaL" The comprehensive plan also identifies a multi use pathway
connecting the site to adjacent properties within the development. The Applicant has
indicated the pedestrian/multiuse pathway shall be re-located off site due to safety
concerns. The pathway system should be relocated to the Future Locust Grove Road
Overpass.
Generally, the Mixed Use designation will provide for a combination of compatible land
uses that are typically developed under a master or conceptual plan. Sample Uses are
listed as entertainment, clean industry, and major employers. The office and retail uses
are similar to the sample uses listed on Page 98 Chapter VII of the Meridian City
Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed commercial uses within the subdivision are permissible under the land use
provisions of the MCC (11-8-1.) Therefore, Staff finds that the proposed subdivision is
in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan
b. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Staff finds that this development will not cause excessive additional requirements at
public cost. The property has existing sewer and water stubs served adequately by all
essential public facilities and services in Overland Road. The Applicant shall be required
to extend water and sanitary sewer mains to and through the proposed development,
thereby making them available to the adjacent properties to the west.
c. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program;
AZ-O5-01<¡, PP-O5-024, CUP-OS-O3!
DOl'ado,PP_AZ_CUP_doc
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
P&Z Hearing Date: July 7,2005
Page 11
Staff finds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement plan.
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, utilities and irrigation, the subdivision
will not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds.
d. The public fmancial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for providing
supporting services. See item b.
e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff finds that there should not be any other health, safety or environmental problems
associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's
attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. No hazardous natural
features have been identified on the site.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS-PRELIMINARY PLAT
