CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF FEBRUARY 2, 2006
D. Required Findings from Zoning Ordinance
CUP Findings:
The Commission shall base its determination on the Conditional Use Permit request upon
the following:
1. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and meet all the
dimensional and development regulations in the district in which the use is located.
The proposed site plan shows a centrally located office/warehouse building with parking on two
sides. Staff is supportive of the layout for the proposed drive lanes and proposed traffic flow
pattern for this lot with the required cross access agreement in association with the existing
Intermountain Wood Products building on Lot 8 Block 2 of Medimont Subdivision for future
access to the south, as vehicles should not interfere with internal traffic flows or traffic flows on
the adjacent shared driveways or Adkins Way.
Parking stalls are required at the ratio of one space per 2,000 square-feet of gross floor area for
office/warehouse (UDC 11-3C-6B). Per this requirement, 11 stalls are required. There are 12
parking stalls provided on this site with designated handicap accessible stalls. This provision
exceeds the City's minimum parking stall ratio. Staff finds that the project should have ample
parking.
All proposed building setbacks and landscaping meet the minimum standards outlined in the
UDC 11 ø2B, and with associated platting conditions of approval.
Staff finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the required yards
(setbacks), open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by the ordinance.
2. That the proposed use will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and
in accord with the requirements of this Title.
Staff finds that the designated Comprehensive Designation is Industrial. The property is existing
industrial zoning and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for office/warehouse/service
uses in an industrial area.
3. 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 is generally supportive of the site plan design. This area is part of a larger
office/commercial/industrial area which has been transitioning from large lot Ada County
Residential properties. The current parcel has been Meridian City I-L for several years and staff
supports the use as being compatible in this area with several diverse uses. Staff believes the
applicant has designed to accommodate the mixes of uses as well as shown compatibility with
existing residential uses. Staff believes that an office/warehouse will be compatible with other
useslbuildings in the area. There is a significant amount of landscaping being proposed along
street buffers, and the proposed use is consistent with the approvals for the Medimont
Subdivision.
D- 1
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFf REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF FEBRUARY 2,2006
Staff finds that if the applicant complies with the conditions outlined in this report, the general
design, construction, operation, and maintenance should be compatible with other uses in the
general neighborhood and with the existing and intended character of the area.
4. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will
not adversely affect other property in the vicinity.
Staff finds that if the applicant complies with the conditions outlined in this report, the proposed
office/warehouse use will not adversely affect other property in the area. The Commission and
Council should rely upon any public testimony provided to determine if the development will
adversely affect the other property in the vicinity.
5. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, streets, schools, parks, police and fire protection, drainage
structures, refuse disposal, water, and sewer.
Sanitary sewer and water are currently being extended to the site through the extension of Adkins
Way.
The Ada County Highway District Board of Commissioners previously acted on the Medimont
Subdivision applications and has allowed one access point to each lot within the project. The
Commission and Council should reference any written and/or verbal testimony submitted by any
public service provider, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
6. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional costs for public facilities and
services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
If approved, the applicant will be financing any improvements required for development. Staff
finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the proposed
zoning and subsequent development will not be detrimental to the community's economic
welfare.
7. 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 the general
welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
Staff recognizes that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of an OfficelW arehouse in
this location; however, staff does not believe that the amount generated will be detrimental to the
general welfare of the public. Staff does not anticipate the proposed use will create excessive
noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. Staff finds that the proposed use will not be detrimental to
people, property or the general welfare of the area.
8. 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 there should not be any other health, safety or environmental problems associated
with this subdivision that should be brought to the Commission's attention. ACHD considers
road safety issues in their analysis. No hazardous features were identified on this site.
