T he preliminary plat was tabled by the Planning and Zoning Commission on April 18, 2002 and on May 16, 2002 in order for the applicant to make further modifications to the proposed preliminary plat and annexation/zomng request. Annexation and Zoning. Request for Utility Business Park Subdivision At the April 17, 2002 City Council work-session, the Council recognized that this property needs a special land use designation due to the proximity to the Meridian Waste Treatment Plan. The City Council directed planning staff to create a new land use classification of Mixed Use - Waste Treatment Plan (MU-WTP) for the Utility Business Park Subdivision. At this work-session the City Council discussed the following types of uses that would be appropriate in the new Mixed Use Classification of MU-WTP for the Utility Business Park property: No new residential uses; Existing residential uses may remain; Professional office uses; Warehousing uses; Flex-space uses; Office/warehouse uses; Business Park uses; Mini-storage Unless otherwise permitted, all developments proposed in the MU-WTP area will require approval as a Planned Development through the Conditional Use process. The Meridian City Council indicated that Limited Office (L-O) zoning was an appropriate transition buffer between the Light Industrial zoning for the northern portion of the site and the residential subdivision to the south. Preliminarv Plat for Utility Business Park Subdivision Minor modifications were made to the preliminary plat. The cul-de-sac accessing Lots 1-3, 10 and 11, Block 1 has been adjusted to meet the cul-de-sac length standards' of the Meridian Zoning Ordinance. Lots have been slightly reconfigured with the deletion of the park. At the Planning and Zoning meeting on April 17, 2002 it was clarified by Tom Kunz, Director of Meridian Parks and Recreation, that the City of Meridian had no desire to own and maintain the park that was originally shown in the northwest comer of the site. Due to the proximity to the sewer treatment plant and the questionability of who will utilize the park, the applicant has opted to enlarge Lot 2, Block 1 to encompass that area. Lots 8 and 9, .Block 1 were modified in configuration in order to meet the Meridian Subdivision Ordinance standards. Sanitarv Services Site (Lot 2, Block 1) Falcon Creek, LLC is requesting approval of Lot 1, Block 1 for Western Recycling and Lot 2, Block 1 for Sanitary Services Corporation as allowed uses, with all land use development on Lots 3-11, Block 1 subject to conditional use permit reqmrements within the City of Meridian. Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 will be zoned I-L with Lots 3-11, Block 1 zoned L-O. The applicant is working with Sanitary Services Company to provide a site for a new transfer station. Sanitary Services Company and their architect have provided a detailed site plan showing the building configuration on the site. The applicant is requesting the approval of the detailed site plan/landscape plan with the understanding these plans will be incorporated in the pending Development Agreement which will be recorded with this subdivision plaf. Building "A" will house an office with four (4) shop areas. BUilding "B" will house the transfer station with an office and ADA compliant restroom facility. The site will provide adequate parking with the potential for future expansion if necessary. Two (2) scales will be on-site. A portion of the parking lot will be paved. As shown on the site plan, a portion of the site will be reserved for future expansion. Sanitary S~rvices is proposing to construct the remainder of the site with a dust-free surface until the expansion ~s warranted. Elevations and floor plans have been provided for each of Buildings "A" and "B". As noted, Building "B" will be a transfer station for Sanitary Services. Photos of typical transfer sites have been included with these revised materials. The compaction portion of the station will occur within concrete wails. Sanitary Services understands the concerns of Staff regarding ventilation of the building and therefore will be providing ventilation through the roof of the building as shown per the building elevations. Buffering between the L-O and I-L uses will be provided .as per the site plan/landscape plato A landscape berm along the southern portion of Lot 2, Block 1 will provide adequate buffering of the transfer station. Landscaping will be provided along the entire perimeter of Lot 2, Block 1 and within the interior of the lot as required by the Meridian Zoning Ordinance.
