I. DECISION
The applicant's request for Certificate of Zoning Compliance, Design Review, and Alternative
Compliance are approved with the conditions listed below. The director determined that the
proposed structural and/or site designs conform to the standards and meet or exceed the intent
of the "City of Meridian Architectural Standards Manual".
NOTE: The proposed building elevations, site plan, and landscape plan for the TM Creek
Flex Building #2 were reviewed and preliminarily approved by the Ten Mile Crossing
Design Review Board. The project was found to be compliant with the TMC Design
Guidelines; therefore, an Administrative Design Review is not required from the Planning
Division for this project. The Ten Mile Crossing Design Review Board preliminary
approval is uploaded to record A-2022-0117 in Project Dox.
ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE
The Applicant is requesting alternative compliance to the standards set forth in UDC 11-3A-
19(B)3(a) Structure and site design standards for parking lots, that requires properties greater
than two (2) acres in size, no more than fifty (50) percent of the total off street parking area for
the site shall be located between building facades and abutting streets. The applicant is
proposing two (2) flex buildings with the loading bays located between flex buildings A and B to
meet the requirements in UDC 11-4-3-18.0 for flex space. The proposed site design includes
added screen walls so that the loading areas are further screened from the public streets and
interior drive aisles. In addition to screening the truck docks from the public street, the loading
areas have been combined to minimize pedestrian interactions with large delivery trucks. This
design eliminates unnecessary conflicts and safety concerns for customers and employees.
Additionally, the Applicant has focused on the landscape buffers and pedestrian connectivity by
providing a 42-foot landscape buffer (25-feet is required) along Franklin Road and 24-foot

APPROVED ndscape buffer (20- feet is required) along Benchmark which allows for enhanced landscaping.
oaTL 07/01/22 astly, the Applicant is constructing a 10-foot sidewalk (5-foot only required) along the east side
FILE NIUMBER:^zozz-0l17 f Benchmark Avenue to provide wider pedestrian connection from Franklin Road to the multi -
se pathway along the Ten Mile Creek. 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:
Strict adherence or application of the requirements are not feasible; or
Strict adherence to the site design compliance for parking lot requirements listed in UDC H-
3A-19(B)3(a) is feasible but not desirable to the applicant due to accessibility to the truck docks
and trash enclosure location.
The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the requirements;
and
The Applicant is proposing screening walls that are attached to the buildings to further screen
the loading areas from the public streets and interior drive aisles; wider landscape buffers than
required allowing for enhanced landscaping; and a 10 foot sidewalk along the east side of
Benchmark Avenue to provide wider pedestrian connection from Franklin Road to the multi-
use pathway along Ten Mile Creek. Therefore, Staff finds the alternative compliance provides
an equal means of meeting the intent of this requirement.
The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the
intended uses and character of surrounding properties.
The alternative means provided by the Applicant is not detrimental to the public welfare of the
subject property or to those surrounding properties.
