8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
This property is designated "Mixed Use Community" on the 2006 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Map. In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, this designation is defmed in part as an area that is
situated in highly visible or transitioIÙng parts of the City where innovative and flexible design
opportunities are encouraged. The MU-C has an upper linút on the square footage of non-residential uses
and is intended to allow a focused range of uses in close proximity of residential uses. Staff recommends
that the Commission and Council rely on any verbal or written testimony that may be provided at the
public hearing when detennining the most appropriate zone for this property.
Staff finds the following Goals, Objectives, and Action items contained in the 2002 Comprehensive Plan
to be applicable to this application (staff analysis is in italics below policy):
.
"Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping." (Chapter V, Goal ill,
Objective D, Action item 5)
The applicant will be required to construct landscaping which complies with the Unified
Development Code,
.
Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adj acent parcels.
(Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 1)
The applicant is proposing an office zone adjacent to proposed or established residential district.
Staff finds that impacts to the existing residential properties to the east can be limited through design
as to be compatible with the proposed development if appropriate landscaping is installed with this
project and in cooperation with the planned development proposal.
.
"Pennit new. . .commercial development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at
the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (Chapter IV, Goal I, Objective
A, Action item 6)
The subject site can be serviced by the City of Meridian's sanitary sewer and water systems.
.
Require street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance connectivity and
better traffic flow. (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6)
Cross access will be required east of the site. Staff is generally supportive of the conceptual
connectivity proposal on Everest Lane a private access. ,
Stafffinds that the proposal is harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
