Re: Design Review and Certificate of Zoning Compliance Applications for the increased Warehouse area at 2810 East
Franklin Road, Meridian.
To Whom It May Concern:
The attached Design Review and Certificate of Zoning Compliance documents are for the increased daylight basement
(warehouse) area in the Office & Warehouse Flex Space Building, at 2810 East Franklin Road, previously approved CZC &
DES A-2021-0026.
The existing initial structure to be renovated and the new addition of daylight basement warehouse previously approved are to
remain the same in size with the change of an increase of the daylight basement of 924 s.f. for a total of 7,488 s.f. of building
area. The office area is 3,945 s.f. (53% of total building area) and the warehouse is 3,543 s.f (47% of total building area).
The project site is 37,766 s.f. (0.87 acres), and the improvements will include paving, concrete slabs and sidewalks, and
landscaping.
Site Access – No change being proposed from CZC & DES A-2021-0026.
Pedestrian Walks – No change being proposed from CZC & DES A-2021-0026.
Building Orientation and Layout – The proposed area increase of the daylight basement is located on the Eastern portion of
the daylight basement (warehouse).
Parking – The parking lot spaces have been increased by one for a total of 14 parking spaces, including two accessible spaces,
one near the main entry and the other on the north near the addition. The main parking areas are located on the northern
portion of the site including the additional space and are screened from East Franklin Road by the existing building and
addition. Parking spaces are broken up with landscape, a concrete masonry trash enclosure is located in the northwestern
portion of the developed area, and is integrated into the lot and the surrounding landscape areas.
Landscaping - The proposed site has been reduced by approximately three percent for a total of 20,410 s.f. of landscaping,
totaling about 54 percent of the site. The reduction of landscape is due to the increase of the daylight basement and the
additional parking space. Landscaping will be a mix of lawn areas, planters with trees and shrubs, and existing vegetation
conditions to remain on the outmost norther part of the site. See attached Landscape Plan.
Architectural Character – No change being proposed from CZC & DES A-2021-0026.
Facades – No change to the South and West Elevations. The East elevation an additional window has been added.
The main changes occurred in the North elevation with the elongation of the façade to the east portion of the site.

Roof Lines - No change being proposed from CZC & DES A-2021-0026.
Color & Texture Variations- See attached exterior building elevations.
