King (File No. CUP-02-O15) }Ye have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless e~essly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATION SUMMARY & BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use permit to renovate the site of the existing Meridian Office & Convention Center into a Private Jr./Sr. High School for Cole Valley Christian Church. Approximately 70% of the existing structure (29,640 s.f.) is proposed to be renovated into classrooms. The remsining 30% (13,150 s.f.) will remain as office space. Phase two of the project will include construction of an 18,466 s.f gymnasium northeast of the existing Convention Center. The subject property was originally used as a high school and later as an intermediate/middle school. The school was built in 1912 and later expanded and remodeled in 1937. Around 1986 the property was abandoned as a school. After sitting vacant for about 10 years, it was renovated into the Office & Convention Center it is today. LOCATION & SURROUNDING USES The subject property is located at 200 E. Carlton, at the intersection of Carlton Avenue and E. 2 ~A Street. The address for the proposed gymnasium site is 1225 E. 2 'A Street. The following uses surround the subject property: North - Single family residences, zoned R-15 South - Crafts by Nature and a church, zoned O-T East - Vacant pasture and single family residences, zoned R-15 West - Post Office, zoned R-15 The Apostolic Bible Church is surrounded on three sides by the proposed project CUP-02-O 15 Cole Valley Christian SchooLCUP Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council May 28, 2002 Page 2 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): Ae 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; The site is not large enough to accommodate the required number of parking spaces. 215 spaces are required; 159 spaces are provided on the subject parcel. An additional 33 spaces can be accommodated through a cross-parking agreement with the Apostolic Bible Church. This would bring the total provided to 192 spaces, leaving a deficit of 23 spaces. For the project to be approved as-submitted, a Variance application will have to be filed to accompany this application to City Council. Be That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance; The Comprehensive Plan shows the subject property as "Existing Urban". Current zoning is L-O; private schools require a CUP in the L-O zone according to the Zoning Schedule of Use Control. Staff finds the proposed use and plan to be in Compliance with the Meridian Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan, as long as the conditions of the staffreport are met. Ce 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; Staff finds that the proposed development will not adversely change the essential character of the general vicinity and will be harmonious with the intended character ofthe same area. The property has been used as a school in the past; the proposed project will revert the site back to its prior use as a school. De That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity; The Council and Commission should rely upon public testimony to determine if the development will adversely affect the other properties in the vicinity. 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 CUP-02-015 Cole Valley Christian School. CUP.doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council May 28, 2002 Page 3 disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such services; Staff finds that the proposed development will be adequately served by the essential public facilities and services listed above. That the proposed use 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; Staff finds 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. 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; The proposed use will certainly increase traffic on adjacent streets, especially at the beginning and end of the school day. However, the use is relatively small when compared to public schools in Meridian~they are proposing 7 classrooms for Jr. High use and 7 classrooms of High School use. Staff does not anticipate that the proposed use will be detrimental to the general welfare of the community by means of increased traffic, noise, smoke fumes, glare or odors generated by the use. The applicant should be prepared to address traffic and parking concerns with information about anticipated enrollment and parking needs. 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; Staff finds that the proposed use will not create significant interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets. The applicant has not proposed any new curb cuts onto existing streets. 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. Staff finds that no natural or scenic feature will be lost, damaged or destroyed by issuance of this conditional use. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS The following items are special issues with the project that warrant discussion with the Commission and/or Council. They are not conditions of approval, unless so moved by the Commission or Council. CUP-02-015 Cole Valley Christian School. CUP.doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council May 28, 2002 Page 4 Parking: The applicant has proposed a site plan that provides 192 parking spaces. 215 spaces are required by the ordinance. The applicant should come to the hearing prepared to address issues related to anticipated enrollment and parking needs for staff and students. If the Commission finds that the proposed parking configuration is acceptable, a Variance application will have to accompany this CLIP application for the hearing with City Council. Since the Commission does not officially act on Variance requests, the Commission would recommend approval of the project, conditioned on Council's approval of the Variance request. If the Commission finds that the proposed parking configuration is not acceptable, either the site plan will need to he modified, or the project would have to be recommended for denial. StatFs initialjudgment isto recommend approval ofa Variance to ailow the proposed parking configuration, but reserves final judgment until after the anticipated parking needs, based on the school's past experience, are presented. o Gymnasium Design: The proposed gymnasium presents a large blank wall with few architectural features. The first floor of the structure is concrete block; the second floor is solid metal panel siding; the roof is also metal. On one hand staff feels that the blank fagade is not very friendly on a site so close to Old Town. Recently, the Thornton Four-plex project in Old Town was required to redesign their faqade facing the street to include windows and dormers for visual interest and pedestrian friendliness along the street. The CLIP process gives the Commission and Council an opportunity to require such improvements if they are deemed to he in the best interest ofthe City. On the other hand, staffrecognizes that this is a gymnasium, and gymnasiums rarely have windows, dormers, or other such architectural features. Still, staffwould like to see some type of architectural treatment along E. 2 ½ Street to make the street scene more appealing to pedestrians and others, and simply raises the issue for discussion. SITE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS Trash Enclosure: The proposed site plan does not include a trash enclosure on the gymnasium lot. The only trash enclosure shown is the existing enclosure at the office building, which is over 250 feet from the proposed gymnasium~ Staff finds that a trash enclosure should be added to the gymnasium lot and screened in accordance with Ordinance 11-12-1.C. Signs: No information regarding planned signage was provided with the application. The applicant should present information at the hearing regarding the number, location, and maximum size of any proposed signs--wall-mounted or freestanding. All such signs will require a separate sign permit and will be subject to design review by P&Z staff. Given the historic nature of the structure and its relationship to Old Town, context-sensitive signage is important to blend with the character of the building. 3. Parking: The proposed use requires 215 parking spaces, but only 159 spaces are provided on CIJP-02-015 Cole Valley Christian School.CUP.doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council May 28, 2002 Page 5 the subject property, with an additional 33 available via a cross-parking agreement, leaving a deficit of 23 parking stalls. Either a Variance application must be filed with the P&Z Dept. to accompany this application to Council, or the site plan must be modified to show the required number ofparking spaces. On the day this report was written, staffvisited the site and found the parking lot surrounding the existing Office & Convention center to be completely full, including adjacent on-street parking. The existing lot adjacent to the proposed gymnasium was largely vacant. The applicant should address the anticipated parking demand for the office uses that will remain, as well as the proposed school. Upon satisfactory resolution of the parking demand versus supply issue, staff would support a Variance to the parking requirements. Also, the applicant should supply written verification that the Apostolic Bible Church is amenable to the cross-parking agreement. o Planters/Parking Lot: The proposed site plan does not include planters within the interior of the parking lot. The parking lot is existing and is being modified less than 50%. Therefore, staff finds that the requirements of Ordinance 12-13-11-4.B apply to this project, which means that the perimeter landscaping and street buffers are required, but the internal islands are not required until the parking lot is replaced or altered more than 50%. The perimeter landscape strips shown on the proposed landscape plan are sufficient to meet this requirement. Existing Trees: The existing large maple trees along E. 2 ~ Street, adjacent to the proposed gym, shall be protected during construction as noted on the proposed plan. Applicant should verify that the proposed new trees are sufficient to mitigate for the one existing tree proposed for removal. The existing trees surrounding the Meridian Office & Convention Center shall also be protected and retained. Additional Landscaping: Many of the existing landscape strips contain trees, but the ground surrounding them is left as weeds. Additional landscaping must be added to all such areas so that all landscape areas are fully vegetated with grass, shrubs, and/or vegetative groundcover. A pressurized irrigation system will be required to all landscape areas. This willrequire some modifications to the existing pressurized irrigation system, as the current system provides bubblers to the trees only, but does not currently water the ground. Existing Structures: The proposed gymnasium site contains two existing structures, which it appears will be demolished as part of this project. The applicant should verify whether or not the existing structures will be demolished when the gynamsium is built. Handicap parking: Staff questions whether the single handicap parking space adjacent to the proPosed gymnasium meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The applicant's architect (CTA Architects) shall verify at the next public hearing whether or not the proposed site plan meets the requirements of ADA, and if not, provide a revised site plan showing how the parking will be modified. 9. Building Height: The proposed gymnasium shall not exceed thirty- five (3 5) feet high per the CUP-02-015 Cole Valley Christian School.CUP.doe Planning & Zoning Commi__ssion/Mayor & City Council May 28, 2002 Page 6 Maximum Building Height shown in Ordinance 11-9-1. Building elevations were submitted with the application, but the height is difficult to read, though it appears that it may be 33 '-6". The applicant should verify the actual height during the public hearing. 10. Setbacks: The proposed structure is subject to all required setbacks of Ordinance 11-9-1 for the L-O zone. The submitted site plan appears to meet all of the required setbacks. 11. Water/sewer: This facility is currently served by the City of Meridian's sanitary sewer and water systems. Existing sanitary sewer and water assessments will compared with the anticipated impact, to determine whether additional assessments are warranted. If additional assessments are warranted, applicant shall pay for them with the issuance of his building permit for tenant improvements. 12. As part of a conditional use permit, the City of Meridian may impose additional restrictions/conditions. STANDARD REQUIREMENTS Existing trees sba.ii he protected and retained in accordance with Meridian City Code 12-13- 13.

Carlton Avenue is currently improved with two lanes (no center turn lane) including curb, gutter and sidewalk adjacent to this site. Existing Right-of-Way There is currently 50:feet of right-of-way (25-feet from centerline) on 2 ¼ Street abutting this site. There is currently 60-feet of right-of-way (30-feet from centerline) on Carlton Avenue abutting this site. Existing Access to the Site There are currently four access points into this site, three on 2 ~ Street and one on Carlton Avenue. The access point on Carlton Avenue is a curb-cut type driveway that is currently paved 25-feet wide and located approximately 140-feet west of 2 ~ Street. The southern most driveway on 2 ¼ Street is a curb- cut type driveway that is currently paved 33-feet wide and located approximately 130-feet north of Carlton Avenue.

Site History Part of this site was previously used as a school facility prior to converting to an office and convention center as part of MSPR-03-97. With this application the owner was required to replace broken curb and install sidewalk along Carlton Avenue. The driveway on Carlton Avenue was also approved as it was in alignment with 2nd Street. 11. Five Year Work Program There are no roads in the general vicinity that are currently in the Five Year Work Program. B. Findings for Consideration Right-of-Way District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-F1A require 50-feet of right-of-way on local streets. This right-of- way allows for the construction of a 2-lane roadway with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk. There is currently 60-feet of right-of-way for Carlton Avenue and 50-feet for 2 ~ Street. The applicant should not be required to dedicate any additional right-of-way with this application. Sidewalk District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all local streets, except those in rural developments with net densities of one dwelling unit per acre or less (7204.4.7). Damaged Improvements District policy 7203.6 requires the applicant of a proposed development to make improvements to existing damaged sidewalk; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused driveways with standard curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devises; and other similar items in order to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Therefore, the applicant should be required to fix any damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk and replace any curb cuts that are not being utilized. Access Points/Driveways District policy F2-F4 (1) and 72-F4 (2), requires driveways located on local residential roadways to offset a controlled and/or uncontrolled intersection a minimum of 50-feet (measured near edge to near edge). Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. The applicant is proposing to utilize the four existing paved driveways on this site. These driveways meet District policy for location and design and should be approved. Driveway Widths District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles to a maximum width of 35-feet. Commercial driveways will be constructed as curb-cut type facilities if located on local streets. The applicant is proposing to utilize four curb-cut type driveways that are approximately 35-feet wide, 33-feet wide, 25-feet wide and 20-feet wide. These driveways meet District policy for width and should be approved with this application. 6. Special Recommendation to the City of Meridian The applicant should provide a recorded cross access easement for parcel No. 1=,7745460020 (Apostolic Bible Church) to use this parcel(s) for access to the public streets. C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval 1. Replace any existing damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk and any that may be damaged during the construction of the proposed development. The applicant should replace any unused curb cuts on 2 ~ Street or Carlton Avenue with standard curb, gutter and concrete sidewalk to match existing improvements.

King, for a conditional Use Permit .... ~_re~_ovate:th~e~xisting offiJ:e and Convention Sr. High School for Cole Valley Christian Church, located at 200 East Carlton. We oppose the approval of said permit for the following reasons. There are no details given as to size of sc'hool,.or number of students or limit of students to be involved. The congestion of traffic in this general area during hours the Post Office is open. Parking area for students as well as faculty. Business in the surrounding areas take most of the street parking. There is not an area for outside activities for students, There .is no need for students to be roaming about because of lack of activity space. Also, we don't understand how this building can now be used for a school facility when it had to be abandoned without notice, unfit for use as a school a few years ago. If it was unfit then, what has transpired to make it fit now. Not to mention that the play fields and tennis courts were done away with. The bottom line is we do not feel that this location is in the best interest of the students or those of us who live, or work in this area. Please conMder our concerns when making a decision on this issue. ~'~n V. Culver and Mavis Culvert.
