EXHIBIT A
B. CUP-OO-OS8 Transferring Conditions of Approval
CONDITIONAL USE SITE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
1.
Sanitary sewer and water to this facility would be via existing service lines. Applicant shall
be required to enter into a Re-Assessment Agreement with the City of Meridian. An
assessment agreement is a vehicle that protects the City of Meridian and the applicant in
the event that estimated assessments are not in line with actual usage, The agreement
provides for reimbursement to the applicant for overpayment of assessments and payment
to the City of Meridian of any shortfall in assessments. The overpayment/shortfall is
determined after adequate historical usage.
2.
Parking: Daycare centers are required under the Off-Street Parking Ordinance (11-13) to
provide one (1) space for every ten (10) children, plus one (I) space per staff member. At
the proposed number of 24 children, a minimum of 5 off-street parking stalls would be
required (assuming 2 for children and 3 for staff - but the staff and parking number could
increase depending on the ages of children at the center). There are currently only four (4)
off-street stalls shown on the Site Plan (two in the garage and two in the new parking lot),
leaving a deficit of one (I) stall.
At the P&Z Commission hearing, the Applicant should address their anticipated staffing
and parking demands. If the off-street parking requirement cannot be met on the site, the
Commission should consider either reducing the total number of children allowed at the
center or, possibly, the Applicant could submit a Variance application to allow on-street
parking,
3.
The Meridian Fire Department does not have a minimum ratio of outdoor play area, but 25
s.f. per child for outdoor play areas is a commonly used ratio. At this ratio, the outdoor
play area proposed (approx, 3,l62 s.f.) would exceed this ratio.
4.
The floor plan submitted with the application shows the interior, usable floor area for
children to be approximately 810 s.f. The Meridian Fire Department requires a minimum
of 35 s.f. per child for internal use areas, At 810 s.f., this would allow for a maximum of 23
children at the existing building. However, since the MFD is charged with making the final
maximum occupancy determination upon inspection (depending upon layout, furniture
size, etc.), Staff feels this square foot child ratio is close enough that the maximum number
of children should still be approved at 24 kids. The MFD will need to make the final
determination of allowable children at the time of their occupancy inspection.
5.
The Site Plan shows a paved driveway width of 24 feet. However, upon inspection of the
site, Staff noticed that the new asphalt was poured at approximately 44 feet in width,
extending an additional 20 feet to the east fÌom what is shown on the plan. ACHD
typically allows a maximum driveway width of 30 feet where the driveway connects with
the existing street. The Applicant must remove any existing asphalt in the front yard that is
beyond the 30-foot maximum driveway width (or whatever ACHD allows) prior to
issuance of the C.O.

6.
A minimum 10- foot wide landscaped buffer area must be provided along Broadway behind
the future sidewalk and east of the asphalt driveway.
7.
In order to prevent headlight glare into the front yards of properties to the east, Applicant
must plant evergreen or woody shrubs or other appropriate form of solid screening along
the eastern edge of the new asphalt parking area. The screening must be at least three (3)
feet tall at the time of planting and must be in place prior to issuance of the Certificate of
Occupancy,
8.
An ADA-approved handicap parking sign must be installed in front of the accessible stall
in the parking lot.
9.
Applicant shall provide a solid screening of the adjacent properties to the north, east and
west to protect children from adverse impacts and to provide a visual and sound buffer
between properties. The proposed Site Plan states that new fencing will be constructed
along the east and west sides of the rear play area. Applicant should clarify the type and
height of fencing. Staff inspected the site and confirm that the north boundary fence is in
good condition and will serve as an adequate screen.
10.
The child care center shall not adversely impact surrounding residential properties due to
children's noise, traffic and other activities.
l1.
Applicant must keep all outside play areas free of noxious weeds.
12.
A Certificate of Occupancy (CO.) for the childcare center is required prior to operation.
This C.O. must be signed by representatives of the Fire Department, Building Department
and Planning & Zoning Department, at a minimum.
13.
Applicant shall secure and maintain a child care license from the Idaho State Department
of Health and Welfare-Child Care Licensing Division. Provide copy of license to the City
of Meridian at the time ofP&Z Department's C.O, inspection. The operator's license shall
be on-site for City inspection at all times.
14.
Applicant shall ensure that immunization of all children is verified prior to acceptance into
program.
15.
If the conditional use permit is approved, Applicant is to schedule an appointment with the
Meridian Fire Department for inspection prior to operating. Operation of daycare without
proper approvals will result in revocation of conditional use permit.
16,
Violation of any of the above conditions shall be cause to revoke a certificate of occupancy
for a group child care home. The conditional use permit shall be subject to review upon
ten (10) days notice to the applicant.
