I. DECISION
The applicant's request for Certificate of Zoning Compliance, Design Review and Alternative
Compliance are approved with the conditions listed below. The Director determined that the
proposed structural and/or site designs conform to the standards and meet or exceed the intent
of the "City of Meridian Architectural Standards Manual".
ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE
The Applicant is proposing Alternative Compliance to the existing Development Agreement
(Instrument #2017-00144) due to conflicting conditions listed in the agreement as it relates to the
landscape buffer requirements along the north and east side of this site. The Development
Agreement requires a 25-foot landscape buffer along the east property line to be used as a 25-foot
access (20-foot gravel drive and 5-foot landscape buffer) and a 20-foot landscape buffer along the
northern property line adjacent to Interstate 1-84. The applicant is proposing a 10-foot wide
landscape buffer along the east property line with 19-foot parking stalls adjacent and a 25-foot

de drive -aisle instead of a 20-foot gravel drive. The proposed access drive is relocated on the
DATE 03/09/22 rth side of the 10-Mile Drain with access to sewer easements between the drain and the
FILE NUMBER:^- Do D0zs of the park. In this case, the property line is located on the north side of the irrigation
llrain and there are access and sewer easements between the drain and the boundary of the park.
The access road is used by the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, Public Works for the sewer
easement, and for emergency vehicles to access the park facilities. The Applicant is proposing a
5-foot landscape buffer with an 8-foot tall perimeter fence along the access road to match the
existing conditions. This area is not accessed by the public and faces Interstate I-84 but cannot be
seen directly from Interstate I-84; there is an ITD storm pond and the off -ramp between. Staff
finds the Applicant's Alternative Compliance provides an equal means of meeting the intent and
purpose of the requirement as analyzed below in the required findings for Alternative
Compliance:
Strict adherence or application of the requirements are not feasible; or
Strict adherence to the landscape buffer requirements listed in the Development Agreement are
feasible but would significantly reduce the amount of parking stalls available to the public and
employees utilizing the park. These changes are feasible but not preferred by the Applicant.
The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the requirements;
and
The Applicant is proposing a 10 foot landscape buffer on the east side of the property which is
more than UDC 11-3B-8 requires for parking lot perimeter landscape buffers (5 feet). The
Applicant is proposing a 5-foot wide landscape buffer with an 8-foot tall perimeter fence along
the access road on the north side of the site to match the existing conditions facing Interstate I-
84. The north side of this site does not directly front Interstate I-84, the UDC does not require
a 20 foot landscape buffer only a 5-foot landscape buffer in this location. Furthermore, the
Development Agreement analysis suggested that the Applicant apply for Alternative
Compliance for the landscaping as the details were not known previously. Therefore, Staff
finds the alternative compliance provides an equal means of meeting the intent of this
requirement.
The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the
intended uses and character of surrounding properties.
The alternative means provided by the Applicant is not detrimental to the public welfare of the
subject property or to those surrounding properties.
