RE: Certificate of Zoning Compliance + Design Review | Narrative
JMJ Mortgage Office Building
6291 N. Fox Run Way
Meridian, ID 83642
To whom it may concern,
The applicant, JMJ Mortgage – Matt Morrell, respectfully requests Certificate of Zoning
Compliance and Design Review approval to construct a 9,460 s.f. single story office
building at 6291 N. Fox Run Way in Meridian, ID.
The proposed office building will be a multi-tenant user building and will provide 3,100
s.f. of office space for JMJ Mortgage. The remainder of the building will be available for
2 to 3 additional professional businesses. The proposed office building will consist of a
mix of open and closed office spaces, a conference room with support spaces, men’s
and women’s restrooms, and a reception area.
The building will occupy the pad ready site of Lot 02 BLK 01 in the Paramount Point
commercial subdivision. This new subdivision has 5 commercial building lots that
include a Saltzer Health medical clinic and a regional bank, both of which are to the
north of this proposed office building. As part of the office development, there are
existing shared site features and services that have been previously approved. The
shared existing trash enclosure is located at the end of the parking drive aisle, north of
the proposed building. The existing sidewalks, paved parking lot with site lighting and
storm drainage will remain. Existing parking will be utilized with 29 spaces being located
on Lot 03. Additional parking is also available throughout the established business
development. There will be new landscape proposed at the perimeter of the building,
with existing trees and shrubs in the parking lot planter beds to remain. All landscape
will be watered by the development’s pressurized irrigation system.

Emergency vehicle access is available from both N. Fox Run Way to the east and W.
Plaza Shops Dr. to the south. Once inside the development there is access to this
building on the north and east sides with a 25’-0” access width between parking stalls.
The building will be wood framed construction, with a material palette that is a
contemporary mix of colors and textures that take elements from the Modern
Farmhouse style of architecture. The field material will be an off-white stucco with a fine
texture finish. Accent materials such as Cultured Stone brick and painted wood grain
siding will add warmth and texture to the facades. The brick veneer will be used at the
base of the building and will articulate the projecting piers, adding depth to the façade.
The windows and doors for the project will be black anodized aluminum with gray tinted
glazing and will be used at all four sides of the building allowing for large amounts of
daylight to the office users. The 5:12 sloped mansard roof slopes up to a height of 21’-8”
and creates a rooftop mechanical well that will screen the rooftop mounted HVAC
equipment. The overhang roof projections at all four sides of the building roofline and
varying roof height at the building entrances help create a pedestrian level scale to the
building.
We believe the scale and mass of the proposed single story office building is compatible
with the existing buildings and surrounding uses and is consistent with the objectives of
the Urban/Suburban Design Guidelines and trust positive findings will be made and a
positive recommendation will result.
Should you have any questions and/ or require clarifications regarding the application,
please do not hesitate to give me a call.
Kind Regards,
BRS Architects
