Access is proposed via two driveway connections to the adjacent arterial
streets —the access to Overland Road is existing and is proposed to remain.
There is no opportunity for stub street or connectivity between adjacent sites
and the subject site due to existing development. Applicant is proposing to
widen an existing access to Linder Road and share it with the adjacent
residential development to the south.
Yes.
No buffers exist along Linder or Overland; existing sidewalk along Overland
but not along Linder.
No road improvements are required with this application because the
Overland/Linder Road intersection is planned for future improvement. (see
ACHD staff report in Section VIII.D).
CIP/Five Year Work Plan for adjacent & nearby roadways:
Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)l Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP):
• Linder Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be constructed as a new 4-lane 1-84 overpass and

A. Future Land Use Map Designation (https://www.meridiancity.or /g compplan)
Commercial — The Commercial designation is meant to provide a full range of commercial uses
to serve area residents and visitors. Desired uses may include retail, restaurants, personal and
professional services, and office uses, as well as appropriate public and quasi -public uses. Multi-
family residential may be allowed in some cases, but should be careful to promote a high quality
of life through thoughtful site design, connectivity, and amenities.
The project site is approximately two (2.19) acres in size and currently consists of three parcels
located at the southeast corner of Linder and Overland and directly abuts the newest Meridian
Fire Station along Overland. In addition to the Commercial future land use designation, there is
a small area of Medium Density Residential (MDR) along the southern boundary. Because land
use designations are not parcel specific, this land use designation is also represented on the
subject site but correlates to the residential project to the south (Linder Road Apartments).
However, the City anticipates commercial uses on this corner, especially because it is adjacent to
two major arterial roadways (Linder and Overland) and near a planned interstate overpass.
The proposed use of Flex Space is subject to specific use standards (UDC 11-4-3-18) and is
proposed to serve as the core office and warehouse of a local business, Red Aspen. Red Aspen is
a social selling (online) beauty company that aims to utilize this site as their new main hub for
their growing business. Flex Space is a principally permitted use in the requested C-G zoning
district and has no restrictions on semi -truck traffic. However, the Applicant has specifically
stated the amount of truck traffic for this business is minimal and mostly handled by smaller
delivery trucks. The submitted concept plan shows the proposed truck docks being along the end
of the building but facing east towards the Fire Station and meets code as submitted. However,
Staff does have concern over the general proximity of the truck docks and turnaround area to the
residential project to the south. Further analysis is below.

APPROVED Indscape
e Applicant has proposed to place the building near the hard corner and pull it away from the
DATE 04/01/22 isting multi family residential to the south approximately 119 feet from the south property line.
FILE NUMBER:^-zozzoozy e submitted conceptplan depicts this 119 foot distance to include the required 25 foot
buffer and solid fencing along the southern property line abutting the multi family
project; no buffer is required adjacent to the Fire Station because it is not a residential use. The
Applicant is also showing the required landscape buffers adjacent to the arterial streets with the
one adjacent to Overland being shown wider than the required 25 feet. Due to required right-of-
way dedication along Overland Road, the proposed building is shown approximately 42 feet
behind the existing sidewalk which has led to the building being further south than Staff
originally anticipated.
In order to help the site gain back some of its usable area and create more space between the
proposed use and the existing residential to the south, Staff is recommending the Applicant
reduce the street buffer to Overland Road by going through the Alternative Compliance process
with future applications. Staff finds this revision to the site has at least two positive outcomes: the
building can be moved further north towards Overland to create a better presence and
streetscape along this corridor, and; moving the building further north creates further separation
from the existing multi family development to the south while at the same time allowing more
area for trucks to safely turnaround in the south half of the site. Staff finds the landscape buffer
and linear distance between the proposed use and the existing residential to the south offers
adequate transition and mitigation between uses.
In addition to the proposed use on the subject site, it is worth noting the surrounding uses in the
immediate area. As noted, Fire Station #6 is directly to the west of the subject and there is an
existing multi family residential and R-15 zoning to the south. In addition, Staff has noted S.
Linder Road and W. Overland Road abut the site on the west and north, respectively. On the west
side of Linder, there is existing C-C zoning with a partially developed commercial/office center.
On the north side of Overland is I-L zoning and Camping World, an RV storage, service, and
sales business. Furthermore, on the opposite corner of Linder and Overland is the Artemisia
Subdivision, zoned C-G and proposed with a number of commercial uses including vehicle sales.
Thus, when looking at the surrounding area, nonresidential uses are commonplace.
Access to the site is proposed via one connection to Linder Road and one connection to Overland
Road with both accesses restricted to right-in/right-out only maneuvers. The Applicant is
proposing to share and widen the existing access to Linder Road that the multi family project
uses directly abutting the southern property line. Staff has not seen a written agreement for this
shared access and one should be submitted with any future applications. However, Staff does
support widening and sharing this access so the site has adequate circulation; without a second
access point to the site, any future development on the site will be severely hindered. The
proposed access to Overland is an existing curb cut that is supported by both Staff and ACHD.
Both proposed access points are as far away from the Linder and Overland intersection as is
possible. Staff supports the access to the site as proposed but is recommending a DA provision
that the Applicant provide proof of an agreement with the property owner to the south regarding
the shared access to Linder with the future Certificate of Zoning Compliance application.
The hours of operation for the facility are an additional factor in determining if the proposed use
fits in this location. The Applicant has stated the planned hours of operation are Monday thru
Friday, 9am to 5: OOpm with occasional Saturday hours during the holiday season (October -
December). Most importantly, the Applicant has stated that any freight deliveries will only occur
during normal hours of operation. Due to the proposed hours of operation, Staff believes the
proposed Development Agreement provisions and screening methods will be sufficient in
mitigating any noxious consequences of the proposed use.

(E IDS IAN�-
APPROVED taff finds the proposed site design combined with the proposed Flex Space use to be generally
DATE 04/01/22 onsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Specific Comprehensive Plan policies are discussed
FILE KNIBER:^zozzooza Ind analyzed below.
The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this
application, Staff recommends a DA as a provision of annexation with the provisions included in
Section VIII.A1. The DA is required to be signed by the property owner(s)/developer and returned
to the City within 6 months of the Council granting the annexation for approval.
B. Comprehensive Plan Policies (ht(ps://www.meridiancity.or /g compplan):
The applicable Comprehensive Plan policies are cited below with Staff analysis in italics.
"Establish and maintain levels of service for public facilities and services, including water, sewer,
police, transportation, schools, fire, and parks" (3.02.01 G). City water and sewer services are
readily available to the subject site. As previously noted, the subject site is directly adjacent to
Fire Station #6 so fire service is not an issue. The proposed access points to the site are
supported by Staff and ACHD. Therefore, Staff finds the project complies with this policy.
"Promote business retention, expansion, and improvement programs." (2.07.01). The subject
application is for Red Aspen, a locally grown and sustained business. Due to the success of their
business, this company needs to expand its footprint here in the Treasure Valley. The owners
have a strong desire to remain in Meridian with the proposed project that will help it continue to
flourish. Creating a flex space building for existing and future warehouse and office needs is a
great fit for this location and the City of Meridian as a whole.
"Require pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions together and promote
neighborhood connectivity." (2.02.01 D). Despite the project not being a residential development,
a segment of multi -use pathway is required and shown adjacent to Linder Road along the west
property boundary. The Applicant is proposing to construct the required segment ofpathway and
complete this large segment of multi -use pathway on the east side of Linder Road creating a
continuous pathway from Overland to Victory Middle School. This connection and added
pathway would connect to the existing sidewalk along Overland that connects east and west to
various projects and uses. In addition, the submitted site plan shows adequate internal sidewalk
connections to the arterial sidewalks for overall connectivity.
"Work with existing industrial businesses to expand or relocate operations to appropriate areas."
(2.08.03C). The proposed business is not an industrial business but Staff finds it equally
important to support existing local businesses to relocate to appropriate areas when expansion is
needed. After discussions with Staff and other entities, the Applicant determined the subject
corner property is the ideal location to construct their own building designed solely for their
business operations. Because the subject area is planned for commercial uses and a majority of
the nearby uses are also nonresidential, Staff agrees with the Applicant and believes the subject
site is an appropriate and ideal area for Red Aspen.
Staff finds this development to be generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
C. Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
There are no existing structures or site improvements.
D. Proposed Use Analysis:
The proposed use is for offices and associated warehousing, which falls under Flex Space within
Meridian development code. This use is a permitted use in the requested C-G zoning district per
UDC Table 11-2B-2 and is also subject to Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3-18). As
Page 6
(E IDS IAN,<-
APPROVED Indscaping
eviously discussed within the Comprehensive Plan section above, Staff supports the proposed
DATE 04/01/22 e at this location —it is a nonresidential use which complies with the comprehensive plan, it is
FILENWBEB:Azozzooza expansion of a locally grown business, and Staff finds there is adequate pedestrian and
improvements proposed. Therefore, Staff finds this is an ideal location for this
business and proposed use. Staff analysis of the Specific Use Standards is in italics below:
UDC 11-4-3-18 — Flex Space:
A. Office and/or retail showroom areas shall comprise a minimum of thirty (20) percent of the
structure and/or tenant space. The submitted concept plan shows the office area of the building
comprising approximately 8,700 square feet in area, equating to approximately 30% of the
building area. Proposed office area complies with this standard.
B. Light industry and warehousing shall not comprise more than seventy (70) percent of the
tenant space. According to the submitted concept plan, approximately 20,800 square feet offloor
area is reserved for the warehouse component of the building which equates to 70% of the total
building size of 29,440 square feet. Thus, the proposed site plan complies with this standard.
C. In the C-C, C-G and M-E districts, roll -up doors and loading docks shall not be visible from a
public street. According to the submitted concept plan and conceptual elevations, the Applicant is
proposing two loading docks and one roll -up door for the building. The loading docks and roll -
up door are proposed to be located at the south end of the building and face the east property
line, towards the Meridian Fire Station. Per the submitted concept plan, the loading docks should
not be visible from Overland or Linder Roads so Staff finds the proposed locations of these
design elements to be in compliance with this standard.
In addition, any off-street loading spaces must adhere to UDC 11-3C-8 which prohibits any
loading space (i.e. loading docks) to face a residential use and limit hours of operation should it
be located within 50 feet of a residential district. The submitted concept plan shows compliance
with all standards outlined in this code section —the loading docks face the fire station to the east
(not a residential use) and are not within 50 feet of any residential district or use.
D. Retail use shall not exceed twenty-five (25) percent of leasable area in any tenant space.
Because Red Aspen is an online business, there is no retail area included in the building design.
Therefore, this standard is not applicable to the submitted site plan. However, the Applicant will
be required to comply with this standard in perpetuity should any redesign of the building space
occur and a retail component is added.
Additional analysis on the proposed use and how it integrates with adjacent uses is in the
Comprehensive Plan analysis section above. Staff will confirm compliance with these specific
use standards with any future Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) application.
E. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
The Applicant is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the C-G zoning
district which does not have a minimum lot size. As noted above, the proposed use is a permitted
use in the requested zoning district. Furthermore, according to the concept plan, the proposed
building, drive aisle and vehicle use areas, and the proposed parking stalls meet UDC
dimensional standards.
The project requires a minimum 25-foot wide landscape buffer adjacent to both Linder Road and
Overland Road, arterial streets. The submitted concept plan shows compliance with the required
street buffers with the landscape buffer along Overland being shown as approximately 42 feet
wide and the required 25 foot width along Linder. Within the comprehensive plan section above,
Staff has recommended a reduction in the Overland landscape buffer width to be less than 25 feet
from the ultimate right-of-way. Through Alternative Compliance, Staff believes a reduced buffer

fILENUMBER:^zozzooza Iorth would aid the building in holding this corner and creating a true presence at this
In addition, the C-G zoning district requires a minimum landscape buffer of 25 feet to any
residential use which is applicable along the south property boundary where an existing multi-
family residential development exists. The submitted concept plan shows this 25-foot landscape
buffer compliant with the required dimensional standards.
According to the conceptual elevations, the building is proposed with a height of approximately
38 feet in height. The C-G zoning district allows a maximum height of 65 feet so the proposed
building height complies with this dimensional standard. However, because of adjacent C-C
zoning and development, Staff believes limiting the height of any future building on the subject
site to the 50-foot height limit of the C-C zoning district instead of the 65-foot limit in the C-G
zoning district is a prudent provision to add within the required Development Agreement. Staff
recommends this provision in case the proposed use and building is not constructed and a future
Applicant proposes a taller building —Staff believes constructing a building up to the allowed 65-
foot height in the C-G zoning district does not integrate with adjacent development.
With future CZC submittals, Staff will confirm conformance with the required dimensional
standards of the C-G zone and the Flex Space specific use standards (11-4-3-18). Therefore, the
proposed project meets all required dimensional standards outlined in UDC 11-2B-3.
F. Building Elevations (UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual):
The Applicant has submitted conceptual elevations of the future flex space building;
Administrative Design Review (DES) and a formal review of the elevations will be required with
a future CZC submittal. Per the submitted conceptual elevations, the building is proposed to be
constructed with tilt -up concrete panels that have a texture coat applied to it. The elevations also
show ample cornice work visible on all elevations, faux windows with fenestration, parapet
variation, accent material and color around the base of the building, and two-story windows with
painted steel canopies. Staff will analyze the future building elevations submitted with the DES
application for compliance with the Architectural Standards Manual.
G. Access (UDC 11-3A-3, 11-3H-4):
Access to the site is proposed via one connection to Linder Road and one connection to Overland
Road with both accesses restricted to right-in/right-out only maneuvers. The access point from
Linder road is an existing 25-foot wide access point for the multi -family project adjacent to the
south and the Applicant is proposing to widen the curb -cut to 40 feet and share it with the
residential project. ACHD has reviewed this proposal and supports the Applicant's request to
widen the existing Linder access. Staff has not seen a written agreement for this shared access
between the adjacent land owner this one; Staff recommends said agreement be submitted with
any future application(s). However, Staff does support widening and sharing this access so the
site has adequate circulation; without a second access point to the site, any future development on
the site will be severely hindered. The proposed access to Overland is an existing curb cut that is
supported by both Staff and ACHD. Both proposed access points are as far away from the Linder
and Overland Roads intersection as is physically possible. Staff supports the access to the site as
proposed but is recommending a DA provision that the Applicant provide proof of a reciprocal
cross -access agreement with the property/property owner to the south regarding the shared access
to Linder with the future Certificate of Zoning Compliance application.

(E IDS IAN,_
APPROVED arking (UDC 11-3C):
DATE- oaiov22 ff-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC Table 11-
FIIFNUMBERA-zozzooza C-6B for nonresidential uses based on the ratio for commercial zoned properties of one (1) space
or every 500 square feet of gross building floor area. A 29,440 square foot building requiring at
least 59 parking spaces with the required parking ratio is proposed. According to the submitted
concept plan, 59 parking spaces are proposed, exceeding the minimum requirement by one (1)
space. Staff will confirm compliance with these standards at the time of CZC submittal. The
proposed use of a flex space will rarely have the full allotment of parking spaces utilized because
the warehouse component of the building takes up a larger area while not traditionally requiring
the same amount of parking as office or other commercial uses. Furthermore, there will be no
customers that go to the proposed building so all of the parking will be for employees.
Therefore, initial review of the concept plan does not give Staff any concern over the amount of
parking due to the proposed use of a Flex Space building.
I. Sidewalks and Pathways (UDC 11-3A-17 & UDC 11-3A-8):
5-foot wide attached sidewalk exists along Overland Road and is required to remain. A10-foot
wide multi -use pathway segment is required along the west boundary and adjacent to Linder
Road per the Master Pathways Plan. ACHD is requiring both pedestrian facilities be attached
facilities due to future planned road widening and intersection improvements. The concept plan
also shows at least 7-foot wide sidewalks adjacent to the future building that connect to the
arterial pedestrian facilities offering adequate pedestrian connectivity for the subject site.
Furthermore, the additional segment of multi -use pathway and its connection to the sidewalk
along Overland would create a fully connected pedestrian network from Overland to Victory
Middle School, Bear Creek Park, and back with the additional benefit of connecting the pathway
system to the arterial street sidewalk network that has vast regional connectivity. The proposed
sidewalks and pathway meet UDC requirements.
J. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B):
The Applicant is required to construct landscape buffers along Overland Road, Linder Road, and
along the southern boundary as a landscape use buffer. The buffers along Overland and Linder
are governed by UDC 11-3B-7; the land use buffer along the south property boundary is
governed by UDC 11-313-9. The Applicant did not submit specific landscape plans for the project
and no landscaping is shown on the submitted concept plan. However, the minimum required
landscape buffer widths are shown on the concept plan. Staff will ensure compliance with all
landscaping standards with the future CZC submittal.
K. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. 6-foot high vinyl
fencing is depicted on the concept plan but it is not labeled as existing or proposed. Staff is aware
there is existing fencing along the south and east boundaries constructed with the adjacent
development. In general, 6-foot fencing should be included along the south and east boundaries
for security and screening purposes especially between this subject site and the residential
development to the south. Should fencing be proposed, Staff will analyze that with the future
CZC submittal.
L. Pressurized Irrigation (UDC 11-3A-15):
The Applicant is required to provide a pressurized irrigation system for the development in
accord with 11-3A-15. No irrigation plans have been submitted for Flex Space use at this time.
With future development applications, the Applicant will be required to provide a pressurized
