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 designs conform to the standards and meet or exceed the intent of the "City of Meridian Architectural Standards Manual". Alternative Compliance The Applicant requests Alternative Compliance to the following standards: • UDC 11-3B-8C.1: The perimeter landscape buffer shall be planted with one Class II or Class III tree per thirty-five (35) linear feet and shrubs, lawn, or other vegetative ground cover. Due to a City of Meridian Sewer and Water Easement along the southern border of the property, planting trees over top is not an option and would require the landscape buffer width to increase to accommodate the required 6 trees. Required trees are proposed to be planted in the landscape island just north in the parking lot, and a mix of plant materials and shrubs will be planted in the perimeter landscape buffer impacted by the existing easement. • UDC 11-3B-5J.3: Underground utilities. All trees shall be planted outside of any easement that contains a city water or sewer main, unless written approval is obtained from the city engineer. If any utility easement precludes trees required by this article, 1 1 P a g e 1 E IDIAN - APPROVED DATE: 09/02/22 EBENUMBER:^-zozz 181 the width of the required buffer shall be increased to accommodate the required trees. According to the submitted narrative and landscape plan, the Applicant is proposing a 7'6" landscape buffer along the south property line over an existing 20' City of Meridian Sewer and Water Easement. The proposal includes paving the remaining 12'6" of the easement and proposing to plant the required 6 trees in the landscape planter just north of the 20' easement. In addition, an extra tree than required will be planted in the parking lot landscape planter. The southern border landscape buffer will be landscaped, as per code, without the required trees, except where the applicant has been conditioned to extend a shared driveway to the southern lot generally located in the SWC of the site. The Director has approved your request for alternative compliance to Unified Development Code 11-3B-5J.3 and 11-3B-8C.1 for the subject property based on the required Findings listed in UDC 11-5B-5E, as follows: 1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements are not feasible; or Strict adherence to the landscape buffer requirement is feasible but would require the site to have limited access, a smaller building square footage, and fewer available parking stalls. 2.

This will provide an equal means of meeting the intent of this requirement. 3. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended uses and character of surrounding properties.
