8. The proposed application requests a conditional use permit for planned
development of single family dwellings, private open space with clubhouse, gazebo, parks,
neighborhood scaled commercial site, and specific residential and commercial setback standards
for proposed Hertiage Commons. The R-8 zoning designation within the City of Meridian
Zoning and Development Ordinance requires a conditional use permit be obtained for most uses

subdivisions providing services in the City of Meridian planning jurisdiction public facilities and
services required by the proposed development will not impose expense upon the public if the
following conditions of development are imposed and the following is also found to be required
to mitigate the effects of the proposed use and development upon services delivered by political
subdivisions providing services to the subject real property within the planning jurisdiction of the
City of Meridian, subject to the following:

o
The Applicant is proposing a Community Center on Lot 1, Block 23 and a gazebo on Lot 1,
Block 9. However, no plot plan of the lots was provided nor when the structures will be
constructed. The Applicant shall state during which phase of the subdivision the community
center and gazebo will be constructed and a time, to be agreed upon by the City, included in
the Development Agreement. The community center shall be constructed and receive a C.O.
prior to 50% of the subdivision's residential lots receiving final occupancy. A plot plan of the
lot shall be submitted with a future Certificate of Zoning Compliance application for the
structure. The swimming pool shall be fenced. The gazebo and improvement of Lot 1, Block
9 should occur prior to final occupancy of any lots within that phase. In the event of weather
restriction, the applicant shall be allowed to bond for all required common area
improvements, including landscaping, the community center and gazebo, prior to final
occupancy of any unit. In that case, improvements shall be made as weather permits.
As specified in paragraph 2 above, all office or commercial uses proposed within the
development not specifically listed in the Development Agreement shall be required to apply
for a conditional use permit for a planned development prior to construction.
o
Applicant shall submit an open space calculations breakdown, listing which lots were included
in the open space calculation shown on the face of the preliminary plat. Open space must exclude
all required street buffers.
6. All development shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing
Act.
7. No building permits shall be issued within the development until a Final Plat has been recorded

o
A sales and information trailer for Heritage Commons is approved with the following
conditions:
a. A building permit for the temporary building must be obtained through Meridian's
Building Department prior to placing the trailer on a lot. A site plan must accompany the
building permit and be approved by Planning Department.
b. SanitarY sewer service and domestic water service may be requested for the proposed use.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND
ORDER GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 5
Should a hook-up be requested, an assessment for sewer and water service will be determined
during the building permit application process.
c. In accordance with City Ordinance 11-13-4.B.2., underground year-round pressurized
irrigation must be provided to all landscape areas on site. Please submit hook-up and design
details based on the proposed landscaping. Applicant shall be required to utilize any existing
surface or well water for the primary source. If City water is proposed as a secondary source,
developer shall be responsible to pay water assessments for the landscaped areas.
d. Applicant must provide the Public Works and Fire Departments with information on the
method of fire protection to be used for the trailer.
e. The trailer must not be placed anywhere within this front setback of the lot, and must
conform with all setbacks as set forth in the Heritage Commons conditional use permit and
preliminary plat.
f. No off-street parking to serve the temporary trailer is proposed. The on-street parking will
need to be Closely monitored by Brighton Corporation and the City. No obstruction of a
public right-of-way is permitted.
g. Landscaping is required within the front setback area of the lot. The area of the lot behind
the trailer must be kept free from weeds or other potential fire hazards at all times.
h. The timeframe for the sales and information trailer is for a period of 48 months. If
Brighton Corporation requires an extension of this permitted period, Staff recommends they
submit a status of their plans to the P&Z Department after 48 months of operation (starting
from date of occupancy). City Council must approve of any time extension beyond 60
months via a modification of the CUP. This timeframe will apply to a single lot, not a
combination of all future lots for the trailer use.
i. The Applicant's request to site the same trailer under the above-stated conditions at other
locations within future Heritage Commons phases is approved without a CUP modification.
A new site plan and building permit for all future trailer locations must be submitted to the
City for each future location, but a CUP should not be required for each future trailer
location.
Additionally, all the Recommendations of ACHD, Central District Health, the Fire
Department, and Sanitary Services, applying to the Annexation and Zoning and the request
for Preliminary Plat also apply to this application.
Comply with the action of the City Council from their May 21, 2002 meeting as follows:
10.Applicant shall participate in any road infrastructure in the North Meridian Planning area
agreements negotiated with ACHD and shall faithfully perform the terms of such agreement
or agreements.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND
ORDER GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 6
11.The applicant shall supply staff with the Site Plans that were presented through the Power
Point presentation at the Council meeting held on May 21, 2002, and said Site Plans shall be
attached to these Findings as Exhibit "A" (3 pages).
12.The applicant shall supply a list of uses for the conditional use with the Site Plan, and as long
as the uses are allowed, the Applicant will not have to go through another conditional use
permit process as long as the uses fit the lists above in paragraph 2 of the conditions.
13. The uses permitted by the exception are strongly related to the principal use of the
development, and have the purpose of providing services or facilities useful or complementary to
the primary use, it is found that the office/commercial uses are strongly related to the primary use
of the development (R-8), assuming the future uses are as proposed in the application. The uses
will provide services (medical, dental, optical, neighborhood retail, etc.) that will be
complementary to the residents of the subdivision, and it may provide employment opportunities
as well.
14. No more than twenty percent (20%) of the total area of the project shall be
devoted to the uses permitted by the exceptions. The percentage of use exception allowed will
be determined by the Commission and Council based upon the size of the project and intensity of
the use exceptions, it is found that the office/commercial uses are approximately 5.1% of the
total area of land included in the planned development. It is also found that the size and intensity
of the excepted uses is appropriate for this location and size of development, especially given the
Charter High School across the street and meeting the needs of future students.
15. The development will be phased so that construction of the excepted use or uses
will be justified by construction of all or a proportiOnate amount of the principal or primary use
or uses, it is found that until a phasing plan is submitted, this is unable to be determined.
However, the developer has stated that the offiCe/commercial construction will occur after the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND
ORDER GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 7
principal use, residential, is well underway.
16. The uses permitted by the exception are integrated into the overall project by:
a. Being located in proximity to and within convenient walking distance of the primary
uses: it is found that the office/commercial uses will be within convenient walking
distance of the private park and the majority of the future residents. No resident will be
more than ½ mile from the uses permitted by the exception.
b. Utilizing one or more of the main vehicular accesses to the primary use site as the main
access to the exception site or interconnection through a system of private roadways
and/or pathways, it is found that the site design incorporates interconnectivity through
shared vehicular access points.
c. Providing pedestrian and bicycle pathway connections with the primary use site, it is
found that pedestrian and bicycle connections are available to the office/commerical area
via sidewalks and short block lengths. The applicant could provide a path between Lots
12 and 14, Block 3 to better connect the two uses, but the 550 foot long block is not
unreasonable, even without the pedestrian conneciton.
d. Orienting buildings on the exception site to facilitate vehicular and/or pedestrian access
from the primary use site, it is found that the excepted uses are located in a manner that
will facilitate vehicular access fi:om the residential uses.
e. Continuing architecture, landscaping, and building bulk concepts from the primary use
into the use of the exception site so they are consistent and harmonious throughout the
development, it is found that the landscaping and proposed building elevations of the
commercial complex, gazebo and community center are consistent throughout the
development. However, the commercial building elevation (which staff supports) does
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND
ORDER GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 8
not appear to match the conceptual site plan for the commercial area (which staff does
not support). Applicant should clarify the discrepancy.
17. The use(s) permitted by the exception are neighborhood or community serving in
size and character and not regional, and are not detrimental to adjacent neighborhoods in location
and character, it is found that the office/commercial use is not regional in size or character.
18. It is found that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the requested
use and all other required features.
19. The current Comprenhensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as
Single Family Residential. The proposed mix of residential, commercial and office uses are
harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. The project meets the
requirements and objectives of the Planned Development Ordinance.
20. It is found that there is a potential for the proposed E. Herons Crossing Drive to
conflict with the three (3) existing property owners to the north. The water main shown on the
neighboring property will need to be relocated in order to comply with this finding. Construction
of the street and houses along the north boundary will need to take caution to contain debris and
mitigate any fugitive dust. Additionally, it could be argued that the proposed number of dwelling
units at thesouthwest comer of the subdivision do not provide a transition for the larger, estate-
size Weaver Acres and Patrick Subdivision residents. However, Heritage Commons is consistent
with the intended character of this area and staff typically does not consider single-family
residential adjacent to single-family residential to be incompatible uses, regardless of lot size.
21. It is not anticipated that the proposed project will have an adverse impact on the
surrounding property, however, testimony has been taken into account.
22. It is found that the proposed development can be adequately served by the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND
ORDER GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 9
essential public facilities and services listed above.
23. It is found that the proposed use would not be detrimental to the economic welfare
of the community, nor would it create the need for any new facilities or services to be paid for by
the public.
24. It is found that no excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors will result
from the proposed use. Standard construction containment practices must be observed.
25. It is found that the proposed use will not create significant interference with any
traffic on the surrounding public streets. The ACHD report should be referred to for any
additional information concerning this finding.
26. It is not found that any natural or scenic feature will be lost, damaged or
destroyed by issuance of this conditoinal use.
