Central Drive in Section 18, Township 3 North, Range 1 East, B.M., and is currently referenced as Lot 2, Block 1, Jabil Subdivision. The property currently lies within Meridian City limits and is zoned I-L (Light Industrial). The site has been previously platted. Description of Character of Subject Area: A mix of developed and undeveloped commercial and industrial lands within the City of Meridian. Applications: Comprehensive Plan Amendment application to amend the Future Land Use Map for Lot 2, Block 1, Jabil Subdivision. History of Previous Actions: On April 6, 1999, City Council granted approval for annexation and zoning (AZ-99-001) of approximately 55.79 acres to I-L (Light Industrial). No development application accompanied said application at that time. In February of 2004, Council approved a Preliminary / Final Plat to create two building lots for the Jabil Subdivision. Lot 1, Block 1, totals approximately 34 acres. Lot 2, Block 1, totals approximately 19 acres, and is the subject of this Comprehensive Plan Amendment application. Applicant's Statement / Justification: The site is bordered on two sides by properties which are zoned C-G. The owner of the adjacent lot, Lot 1, Block 1, Jabil Subdivision, has submitted an application for a future land use map amendment from "Industrial" to the "Commercial" district as well as a rezoning application from I-L to C-G. Therefore, the subject site would be an "island" of property designated for an industrial use that is located within an area developed for commercial, retail, and office uses. Outstanding Issue(s) for Commission: None. Staff Recommendation: Staff supports the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Staff believes a "Commercial" Land Use Map designation for the subject property would be in the best interest of the City. Therefore, Staff is recommending approval of the subject CPA application. NOTES: The Commission should note that several other Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments, also scheduled be heard on April 5, 2007, may require additional time for public testimony and Commission discussion. Therefore, said CPA proposals may be continued to the hearing date of April 19, 2007. As the Commission may recommend amendments to the land use map component of the Comprehensive Plan to the governing board only once every six (6) months, the subject proposal should also be continued to April 19, 2007, if necessary.
