I. DECISION
The Applicant's request for Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review are approved
with the conditions listed below. The Director determined that the proposed structural and/or
site design conforms to the standards and meets or exceeds the intent of the "City of Meridian
Architectural Standards Manual" per the comments provided from the Applicant, included in
the project file.
The Applicant requests Alternative Compliance to the maximum height limit noted in UDC Table
11-2B-3 of 65 feet in the C-G zoning district; the building is proposed to be 72-feet tall measured
per the Building Code definition. The UDC allows the Director to approve additional height, not
to exceed 20% (i.e. 78 feet), of the maximum building height allowed for the district through
Alternative Compliance when the development provides 10% of the building square footage (i.e.
15,170 square feet) in open space, courtyards, patios or other usable outdoor space for the
employees and/or patrons of the structure, excluding required setbacks and landscape buffers.
The Applicant proposes 17,120 s.f. of courtyards and usable outdoor space in accord with this
standard consisting of the shared plaza area, the event prep and food truck area,
landscape/recreational areas surrounding the building, bench seating, and parking islands that
exceed the minimum 5-feet in width. A perimeter pathway is also proposed as an added amenity
within the street buffer along I-84 and within the perimeter buffer along the east side of the site.
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:
