retail, wholesale, service and office uses, multi-family residential, as well as
appropliate public uses such as govemment offices.

in italics below policy);
. "Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping."
(Chapter V, Goal III, Objective 0, Action item 5)
The applicant has proposed extensive landscaping for the site, including a larger
than required land use btiffer separating this development from the adjoining
residential neighborhood to the west.
. "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)
This is an inflll development site and is readily serviceable by City of Meridian's
sanitary sewer and water systems. Meridian Fire and Police have commented that
they can serve the property.
. "Identify transitional zones to buffer commercial and residential uses, to allow
uses such as offices and other low intensity uses. (Chapter VII, Goal I,
Objective B, Action item 5)

transition FOIn the C-G zoned properties to the east to the residential properties
to the west.

conditions included in this repOli, the lot configuration and overall design of the
subdivision would be in general conformance with the City of Meridian
Comprehensive Plan.

and water services are currently available to this site via existing mains in SW 5th
Avenue and the common lot abutting the south property line. The applicant will

development. The applicant shall coordinate main sizing and routing, for any
mains required to provide service, with the Public Works Department. Applicant
