Re: Design Review and Certificate of Zoning Compliance Application
Project — Pine 43 - Pad H
2325 East Fairview Avenue
Project No. 21389.000
Dear City Planner:
The following is a project narrative for Design Review and Certificate of Zoning Compliance for a one-story
multi -tenant Shell and Core and associated site work located at 2325 East Fairview Avenue, Meridian,
Idaho.
The proposed project will take place on parcel: R7104250566, currently zoned (C-G) General Retail and
Service Commercial, which permits this type of use. The overall site is 5.308 acres however the project
site is 1.71 acres. The building size is approximately 11,000 square feet with only the building shell
planned for construction, the tenant improvement plans will be submitted at a future date. The related
site work will be newly constructed for the use of the retail shops and tie into the existing site work.
The building's exterior has been designed to meet current City design standards. The material that gives
the building its character consists of the corrugated metal siding that showcases the look and beauty of
wood fir siding but eliminates the maintenance that would otherwise be required, thus ensuring the look
of the building remains intact over time. Timber members are used to compliment the metal siding and
provides additional support to the shed roofs. Dark gray corrugated 'M' siding and black anodized metal
on the storefronts, canopies, and trim provide contrast to the warmth of the wood. A brown and tan stone
is used to provide visual anchoring and accents for the overall building design.
The front fagade of the building consists of the main entries to the future shops. Black metal canopies are
located over the entry to bring the scale of the building to the pedestrian level and provide relief from the
elements. The building massing is broken up by the rhythm of alternating metal siding and corrugated
metal with the portions of the building protruding vertically and horizontally to give hierarchy to the shed
roof elements. This same design language is used throughout the other elevations to provide a consistent
massing on all facades. On the north and south elevations, a tower element is designed as the cornerstone
of the building to create a visual focal point for pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The south elevation is the
rear of the building which affronts the road, however the design language is kept consistent with the front
fagade.

The design intent with mechanical is to have it serve the building without being obtrusive. Mechanical
equipment and units will be placed on the rooftop with parapets used to screen, preventing vision of the
units from the ground.
Signage and surrounding landscaping to the west and southwest of the site is planned to create a
welcoming experience for the visitor. Wide sidewalks are planned around the building and an outdoor
space at the northeast corner of the building to accommodate outdoor dining. This addition will further
enhance the pedestrian accessibility and promote a more inviting atmosphere.
Asphalt will be used for drive access and will tie into the existing parking lot to the north and for the new
parking within the project's boundary. The total number of new parking stalls is 19, however 22 parking
stalls are required. An additional 34 parking stalls were constructed under permit # C-SHELL— 2020-0016.
There are a total of 53 parking stalls provided for Pad H. The surrounding area of the buildings and parking
lot will be landscaped to provide screening for the trash enclosure. Three (3) new LED lightings are placed
throughout the site to ensure visibility for pedestrians and tie into the exiting site lighting.
Thank you for reviewing our application for Design Review and Certificate of Zoning Compliance approval.
