at public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the

Magic View and S. Allen Street, Meridian, Idaho, subject to the following conditions
of use and development:
Adopt the RecOmmendations of the Planning and Zoning and Engineering staff as
follows:
A revised landscape plan shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Zoning Compliance. The revised landscape plan shall include landscaping for the
entire perimeter of the property per the approved plan in accordance with the
Meridian Landscape Ordinance. As well as the addition of at least one additional tree
on the east side of the property, among the arborvitae, in order to meet the one tree
per 35 lineal feet requirement for landscape buffers adjacent to parking. Please note
that there is an existing sanitary sewer service line along the east boundary that
serves the property to the north. This is a private service line within an easement.
The existence of this service line should be considered when placing and selecting
trees for this area. A detailed irrigation plan with performance specifications will be
required as part of the revised landscape plan. A pathway through landscaping for
foot traffic from the surrounding building shall be provided.
All parking and areas of circulation shall be improved with a hard surface in
accordance with Meridian City Code 11-13-4.D. A new site plan shall be submitted
that provides a 25-foot wide driveway aisle width for the northern parking stalls and
that provides at least a 9' wide drive-through lane.
All exterior lighting, whether attached to the building or located within the parking
lot, shall be down-shielded or otherwise altered so that the light does not spill over
onto adjacent properties or right-of-way. All parking lot lighting shall be in
accordance with Ordinance 11-13-4C.
o
All signage shall be in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 1 !- 14 of the
City Zoning and Development Ordinance. All signage is subject to design review and
shall require separate permits. Temporary or portable signs are prohibited, and will

Wednesday, and from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.
7. All construction and site improvements shall conform to the requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
8. As the development agreement specifically limited uses on the property to office and
an ancillary restaurant (included within an office building) as represented at public
hearings, a modification would be required prior to City Council approval of the
project. The original Development Agreement for the Magic View annexation will
need to be modified to include the following use as a conditional use for the
southeastern parcel: Drive-through Restaurant. Modification of the development
agreement requires a separate application and public hearing process and must
include all owners of the property included in the original Development Agreement.
If drive-throughs are to be considered on this property, staff recommends that they
be limited and that the amendment to the development agreement be very specific
that it is not a blanket amendment to all of the property.

and shall be submitted to the City Engineer (Ord. 557, 10-1-91) for all off-street
parking areas. Storm water treatment and disposal must be designed in accordance

Water Best Management Practices for Idaho Cities and Counties and City of
Meridian standards and policies. Off-site disposal into a surface water is prohibited
unless the jurisdiction which has authority over the receiving stream provides written
authorization prior to development plan approval. The applicant is responsible for
filing all necessary applications with the Idaho Department of Water Resources
regarding Shallow Injection Wells.

or sight-obscuring fence at least four (4) feet in height in accordance with Ordinance
11-12-1C. Coordinate location and construction requirements with Sanitary

11.Certificate of Occupancy: Ail required improvements must be complete prior to
obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy for the proposed development. A temporary
Certificate of Occupancy may be obtained by providing surety to the City in the form
of a letter of credit or cash in the amount of 110% of the cost of the required
improvements (including paving, striping, landscaping, and irrigation). A bid must

exceed 60 days to complete the required improvements.
12.As part of a conditional use permit, the City of Meridian may impose additional
restrictions/conditions.

the start of construction.
15.This conditional use permit shall be voided if the start of construction for the
approved use does not begin within 18 months of approval by City Council per

among the parcels for use of the driveway for access to the public street prior to
approval.

warranty deed prior to issuance of a building permit (or other required permits),
whichever occurs first. Allow up to 30 business days to process the right-of-way
dedication after receipt of all requested material. The owner will not be
compensated for this additional right-of-way because Magic View Drive is a
local/local commercial street and is to be brought to adopted standards by the
developers of abutting properties.
