RE: Certificate of Zoning Compliance + Design Review I Narrative
The Cleaning Authority Office Building
2220 E. Cinema Drive
Meridian, ID 83642
To whom it may concern,
The applicant, The Cleaning Authority — Nate Haislmaier, respectfully requests
Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review approval to construct a 5,539 s.f.
single story office building at 2220 E. Cinema Drive in Meridian, ID.
The proposed office building will be a single user building and will serve as the new
local franchise office for The Cleaning Authority. The Cleaning Authority is the leading
provider of residential cleaning services and has multiple franchises in 42 states. The
proposed office building will consist of a mix of open and closed office spaces, a large
conference room for employee training and events, employee breakroom with access to
an outdoor patio space, laundry facilities, cleaning supply storage and support spaces,
men's and women's restrooms, and a reception area.
The building and associated parking lot will occupy Lots 05 and 06 BLK 03 in the
Destination Place commercial subdivision. These two lots are approximately 2-acres in
size and have never been developed. The surrounding properties are a mix of retail,
office, and restaurant users. Two of the most notable businesses are The Majestic
Cinemas whose parking lot and access drive border this site to the west and the Harley
Davidson dealership located to the north. The proposed site plan shows a total of 132
parking spaces which is greatly more than the code required 11 spaces. The reason for
the large number of spaces is based upon needing parking for 30 to 40 company owned
cleaning vehicles in addition to employee parking. There are typically two cleaning
employees per company vehicle, and they drive their own vehicles to the office each
day. The remaining spaces are for daily customers and permanent office staff.

landscaping for the site provides a variety of colors and textures that creates a
3sing streetscape. The required trees have been located around the perimeter of the
All landscape will be watered by the development's pressurized irrigation system.
;re is a monument sign at the street corner that will match the brick and stucco colors
of the building and will include the building number as well as signage for the tenant.
Emergency vehicle access is available from W. Overland Rd. and E. Cinema Way to the
south. Once inside the development there is access to this building on all sides with a
25-0" access width between parking stalls.
The building will be wood framed construction with a material palette that has very
traditional brick and stucco exterior materials but in a more modern monochromatic
color palette of white, brown, gray, and black. Pilasters and vertical brick elements have
been added to break up the predominantly horizontal feel of the building. 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
building occupants. The flat roof is surrounded by parapet walls with at height of 20'-0"
and creates a rooftop mechanical well that will screen the rooftop mounted HVAC
equipment. The overhanging roof canopies at all four sides of the building will provide
weather protection at the building entrances, shade from the southern and western sun
exposures and 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.
